《The Young Lion》


 Chapter 1： Children in a **** football environment

    A muddy river Thames divides London into north and south. In the traditional sense, it is rich in the south and rich in the north, rich in the east and poor in the west. Perhaps this is to blame the Germans. London was bombed in World War II. The east side of London was the hardest hit area. Everything turned into ruins. Abandonment also formed the tenacity of the spirit of East Londoners.


    In 1986, Aldridge Hall was ten years old. He was born in East London. Compared with the children born in northwest London, he obviously had no natural material conditions to show off, but lived in this mixed immigrant industrial area. In the environment, he was obviously lucky. His father, Arthur Hall, had a glass factory here, which was small in scale, but sufficient to support his family, especially if Arthur had three sons.


    Aldrich¡¯s eldest brother, Barnett, is eighteen years old. He works alongside Arthur, and looks like a glass decorator without any future.


    The second brother, Andrew, is only three years older than Aldridge. He is still in school now, but how he thinks that he will follow in the footsteps of his brother and become a member of the blue-collar class.


    Aldrich is a big kid, and his home sells glass, so he always sneaks in his arms at night with rubble, and then smashes the windows of some restaurants or shops opened by immigrants in the community while the night is dark...


    The night road is too many, it will inevitably hit the hell.


    At the end of May, Aldridge went out at night to reapply his old skills. His goal was a newly opened black video store. The black guy was called Sander. In East London, where racial discrimination was most severe, even Sander was born. He must be very careful to manage his life. He has inquired about the surrounding communities and heard rumors that naughty children are breaking the glass, so he does not go upstairs to rest after the video store closes every night. Guarding in a shop full of black lights, although it is more to prevent thieves and robbers, it has turned into a wait and see.


    "Wow"


    When a small stone smashed the window glass and burst into the video store, Sander burst into a roar in the dark store.


    This struck Audridge, who had just lost his stone outside the store. He didn''t expect the store to react so quickly. He was so shocked that he hurried into the alley across the street. In the dead end, he was scared to death when he heard that the door of the video shop across the street was opening. Although he was a native of East London, most of the immigrants here lived in clusters. African immigrants united together. Partner¡­¡­


    If it¡¯s daylight, Aldrich is naturally not afraid. As long as the white people here see the black people as a child, no matter whether they know them or not, there will naturally be someone to help him, and the black people dare not take the initiative to provoke them locals, but now it¡¯s night. Derich was afraid that he would fall into the hands of black people, and he would be helpless by then.


    Facing a dead end, Aldridge''s ten-year-old had a sharp body and dexterity. He directly overcame the high wall and planned to escape. As a result, in his panic, the wall was turned up, but he accidentally fell to the ground, his head hit the blood, and he fainted. Died on the other side of the wall.


    Sander jumped and scolded on the street, causing a lot of movement around him. So soon someone found Aldridge who was stunned and sent him to the hospital kindly...


    Aldridge was hospitalized for three days. His injury was not serious, but he became dazed and silent after waking up. Even parents Arthur and Amelia plus two brothers Barnett and Andrew were in front of the bed. Without saying a word, he even blindfolded his head in the quilt, but once made Arthur anxiously ask the doctor to ask if the younger son had something wrong with his head or became a dumb man.


    In fact, Aldridge is not only confused on the surface, but even fearful in his heart. No one knows that there is a soul from the thirty-year-old child under the skin of the ten-year-old child, and it is the soul of the Chinese atheist.


    In accordance with the idea that what has come is safe, Aldridge quickly adapted to everything. I don''t know why he came to London in 1986. At least he didn''t care. He was an orphan in China.


    Three days later, Aldridge was discharged from the hospital. The Hall family prepared a hearty meal for Aldridge at home, but his family was worried about Aldridge.


    Aldridge, who was lively and mischievous before, suddenly became swift and quiet after he was discharged from the hospital.


    This is no one to ask, only when Aldridge eats a long grain of wisdom, fell from the wall and broke his blood, which is also a **** lesson. It is better to settle down and let adults worry less.


    Since May 31 is the opening day of the World Cup in Mexico, the football atmosphere in London has not declined because of the end of the league. On the contrary, every fan hopes that England will be able to raise their eyebrows at the World Cup and teach the world¡¯s powers. It is also in disguise. World: The ban on the England team from participating in the three big cups is a loss for Europe and a loss for the world!


    Although it is the order of the Iron Lady Mrs. Thatcher that banned the English club from participating in European competitions.


    In May of last year, the tragedy of the Heather tragedy hit the English football industry hard. Not only did the tragedy cause mental losses, it also affected the economy and even the national image.


    At the beginning of the night when the lantern was on, Aldrich, led by two older brothers, came to a fan bar in the community. The bar was smoky and smelled bad, but the atmosphere was very high.


    Barnett greeted casually with young people who knew him, Andrew also had a few friends who were not there, and Audridge, who was only ten years old, was obviously out of tune with this place, and no familiar face could catch his eye.


    Fortunately, the two brothers took him to the corner after saying hello.


    Aldridge raised his ears and listened to the words of laughter and laughter from the surrounding fans, mostly about the game. Here, they either talked about the community-supported team mad lion Millwall, or about the upcoming World Cup, otherwise In addition, occasionally I can hear the gangster Wimbledon talking.


    "rogue!"


    The bar is full of foul language, and Aldridge has a certain understanding of these nonchalant fans listening to it.


    They don¡¯t talk about Millwall¡¯s season results or look forward to the situation next season. They talk more about things outside the game, fighting, fighting, provoking opponent fans, how to embarrass opponent fans...


    No wonder, England¡¯s East London team is the most infamous, and two rivals are hailed as the cradle that breeds football hooligans: West Ham United and Millwall.


    Just like the fans of Leeds United, no matter how long they have passed, they have been regarded as the most extreme racist.


    Chatting and chatting, many fans in the bar began to adore Wimbledon.


    To be honest, Wimbledon has done a miracle in these three years, completed three consecutive jumps, and will appear in the first-class stadium next season. This is definitely a commendable result.


    But it can be praised by fans of Millwall, which naturally has nothing to do with the team''s record. The most important thing is the performance of Wimbledon''s players on the court. They are brutal and violent, and even the coach is inculcating a "fight". Thinking, for Millwall fans, this is the most appetizing game.


    What is football?


    Nothing for them!


    Football is best a combination of boxing and American football with feet!


    Aldridge is difficult to integrate into such an environment of public opinion, he can only sneer with his head down in his heart: help Wimbledon?


    Don''t look at the madness of the spring breeze, and even a mainstream whirlwind in England, but the absence of the World Cup in 1994, more or less because of the rough play was adopted and led to the impact of the out.


    Wimbledon is even more betrayed in the future, leaving the community-supported English team, it is difficult to have a fan base.


    "Hi, help me refer to it."


    While Aldridge was meditating, Barnett sat down with a few bottles of wine and gave the bottles directly to the two younger brothers, the last beer.


    Although Andrew and Aldridge are still children, they don¡¯t think there is any problem with drinking. They looked at the paper that Barnett placed on the table. On top is a match table, which lists 24 Mexicans in detail. Participating teams.


    Barnett took a pen and wrote the names of several teams on another piece of white paper, then handed it to his two younger brothers and said, "How about? Champion England, runner-up Brazil, and third and fourth place are France and West Germany."


    Thirteen-year-old Andrew knelt on his knees, looked down on the names of the four teams, and applauded.


    Aldridge was confused for a while before realizing: Big Brother wants to gamble!


    Aldridge hurriedly stopped it, but then swallowed it back to his lips.


    This is London, and the eldest brother is an adult. Everything is legal.


    But Aldridge looked at the names of the four teams and frowned.


    Seeing his expression, Barnett chuckled, "Why are you doing this expression?"


    Aldridge looked up at his relaxed brother and asked solemnly, "How much do you want to gamble?"


    Barnett put his smile away and whispered: "Five hundred pounds, I saved two years."


    He started working for Arthur two years ago.


    Aldridge grew sad and shook his head, saying: "If you want five hundred pounds to pay off, don''t support England to win the championship, emotionally tilted, don''t spoil the money."


    "But we have Lineker."


    "Argentina also has Maradona, why do you think Argentina can''t even enter the semi-finals?"


    "Argentina cannot beat England."


    "If you are talking about the Massachusetts war four years ago, yes, Britain won, but football and fighting are two different things. Otherwise, there must be no Brazil in the semifinals."


    Barnett was silent, his expression a bit unsatisfactory.


    The hatred of England and Argentina is well-known to the world. Naturally, when the island was reclaimed by England four years ago, the people naturally supported it, and naturally they did not like the losers.


    Seeing that the elder brother stopped talking, Aldridge rolled his eyes and whispered: "Lend me a hundred pounds, and I also gamble."


    "Then I will!"


    Andrew looked at his elder brother unwillingly and lonely.


    Barnett did his utmost to take care of his brother''s duties. He usually loved his two younger brothers. The family is very united. This is probably one of the characteristics of the family and group in East London. He nodded helplessly.


    Saying it is borrowing is actually no different than sending it.


    Aldrich agreed with the elder brother and said, "So, elder brother, let''s bet on the teams from each group. How about it?"


    Barnett actually wanted to get rich overnight, betting on the first and second runner-up and three or four. The return was amazing, but calm down now, I think it is better to seek stability.


    The three brothers joined together to discuss the teams from each group.


    Of the 24 teams, two teams from each group qualify, plus four teams from the best team to qualify for the third qualifying round, and 16 teams have entered the knockout round.


    They only guessed the top two of the group.


    Aldridge can''t remember the group stage, but only remember the champion and runner-up of this World Cup.


    According to conventional thinking, the strong teams of the six groups came out. Aldrich asked his elder brother not to bet all the money at one time, but he himself asked his elder brother to help him bet ¡ê100 on the champion Argentina and runner-up West Germany. .


    In fact, he was only impressed by the game between the final and Maradona God¡¯s hand, but the odds of betting on the championship and runner-up before the game are high. When the top 8 and 4 of the knockout are released, the return is obviously not very high. Too.


    The second brother Andrew treats his one hundred pounds as a treasure, but carefully let his big brother help him to bet on the teams that each group will definitely qualify. Although the odds of the strong team are necessarily low, Andrew does not have a strong heart of desperation. .

 Chapter 2： The future of Halls next generation

    In the following days, in addition to going to school, Aldridge went to the bar with his two brothers to watch the ball game in the evening. Although he resented the chaos in the East London community, since he became a member of this place, it naturally took its course.


    With the progress of the World Cup in Mexico, Aldridge seemed absent-minded. His elder brother watched the ball and went home every day with a smile on his face. The teams he bet on were in good condition. Andrew returned home every day and yelled for victory. When Arthur and Amelia saw the children, they also knew that they were gambling following the World Cup craze. The two parents did not blame them, but only told them not to indulge in them, and do not dream of getting rich overnight.


    The Hall family is actually a working class. There is no high-level cultivation and connotation. The community has three schools and nine neighbors. Gambling, drinking, and occasionally fighting are all normal things, as long as they do not participate in gangs. Without involving in illegal business, adults will not teach their children.


    When the group stage ended, Barnett returned home slightly helplessly, and gave Andrew 140 pounds, which was calculated as the principal and Andrew won.


    Andrew took the money and smiled to his elder brother: "Don''t be discouraged, who can think of Portugal coming home?"


    Barnett shrugged indifferently: "It''s just a pity that I won less than two hundred pounds."


    Barnett¡¯s only mistake was Group F. He felt that Portugal and England had no problems in qualifying. In fact, Portugal won England in the first game and the prospects for the qualifying were very good. Who could have thought of losing two games in a row and returning to his hometown?


    Andrew was more fortunate, he only picked one England to advance to the knockout, Portugal won England that night, he did not sleep well all night, which made Aldridge who was in the same room with him laugh and laugh, which in turn comforted him one night.


    After winning the money, he wanted to win more. Andrew ran into the bedroom and smiled at Aldridge sitting at the desk in a daze: "Next guess the quarterfinals."


    Aldridge recovered, and said helplessly: "The most certain are the three teams, Argentina, England and West Germany. Don''t guess the other teams."


    He only remembers the championship and runner-up, and Argentina did not meet England in the quarterfinals, which means that England must have advanced.


    After thinking for a while, Andrew nodded and said, "Well, listen to you, I''ll tell Brother."


    Aldridge watched the second brother wind running out of the back of the bedroom and said to himself: "What will I do in the future?"


    His previous life was just an ordinary person. His only interest was football. Although Aldridge is only ten years old now, he is very resistant to going to school step by step.


    When the quarterfinals came to an end, Barnett and Andrew were overjoyed, and obviously they won again.


    When they happily appeared in front of Aldridge to discuss the top four teams, Aldridge could only helplessly say: "West Germany and Argentina, only these two teams are sure."


    Barnett seemed reluctant, saying: "Argentina may not win England."


    Andrew looked at the more than two hundred pounds in his hand and scrapped the principal. He had earned more than one hundred pounds. For the 13-year-old, he was a great achievement, and he did not want to make a hasty choice.


    Aldridge didn''t say much, opened the drawer of the desk, took a lottery ticket in his hand, and said, "Don''t I support myself at this time?"


    It''s been more than half a month since Barnett and Andrew remembered the lottery ticket that Aldridge bet on. Is it the Argentine champion and West Germany runner-up now?


    The two brothers were righteous. Since this was the case, the three brothers united the front and they also bought Argentina and West Germany for promotion.


    On the day of the Anglo-Afghan Wars, Aldridge watched the fans in the bar scolding Maradona for being shameless, and was shocked by Maradona''s miracle of picking up the England players in the half.


    In the bar, Aldridge, like his two older brothers and fans, returned home, but was comforted by the disappointment.


    Although Andrew and Barnett won the money, they were not happy. There was nothing more disappointing than the team they supported.


    So far, the teams that advanced to the finals don''t have to think about it anymore, they continue to support West Germany and Argentina.


    When the final day arrived, Barnett had more than 1,300 pounds, and Andrew also had close to 400 pounds.


    But they found it very helpless to find that before the World Cup began, the odd lottery that Aldridge bet on would have a return of 65 times. In other words, if Argentina won the cup, Aldridge had ¡ê6,500.


    Compared to Aldridge¡¯s ease of watching the finals in the bar, Andrew and Barnett are nervous, drinking and cheering for Argentina, although they can only be in their hearts and dare not call out, after all, in the bar There are other people, who let Argentina use England as a way of cheating out of England.


    In the end, Argentina 3:2 West Germany won the Hercules Cup, Maradona boarded the altar seal, Andrew and Barnett couldn¡¯t help but shouted with excitement, and watched in amazement at the bar, the three brothers Quickly escaped from the bar.


    In the eastern suburbs of London on a midsummer night, the three brothers of the Hall family sat on the grass and talked about the fruitful results of the Mexico World Cup. They carried a beer bottle in one hand and fried chicken in the other, and were unable to sleep at night with excitement.


    When the wine was strong, Barnett suddenly smiled, lying on the grass and looking at the vast starry sky, with a slight sigh.


    Andrew counted the pounds in his hands over and over again. Before the start of the World Cup, they only had the big brother to save 500 pounds for two years. Now the three brothers have 10,000 pounds. Andrew is like a wealthy fan. .


    Aldrich noticed his brother¡¯s silence, and stepped forward to ask, "Having something?"


    Barnett blocked his head with his hands, said quietly: "I don''t want to continue to be a decoration worker."


    In the past two years, he has helped Arthur. The specific job is to install glass on the door of the customer. This job has no great future.


    Coupled with the pound that has earned more than two years of savings, Barnett does not want to be an obscure worker, and it makes sense.


    Aldridge replied: "What do you want to do?"


    Barnett thoughtfully looked west of London and said with longing: "Do you know who lives in West London?"


    "The rich man."


    Andrew didn''t know how many times the bill was gone, and inserted his mouth without looking up.


    Aldrich thought about it. West London was indeed wealthy, but in terms of occupation, apart from the rich, a large proportion of people there are now a very beautiful profession: stock brokers.


    Thinking of this, Aldridge realized: Before the stock market crash next year, the current stage is the time when the stock market is in full swing.


    Aldridge smiled at his elder brother: "Do it if you want, your parents should support you."


    Although the family is a working class, if there is a chance, who would not want to get rid of the blue-collar and advance to the white-collar?


    Barnett stared at Aldridge staring blankly. It seemed that his brother''s verbal support had greatly increased his confidence. He intended to return to Arthur to explain his own wishes.


    Aldridge is not stingy either. He gave all his ¡ê6,500 to his elder brother. Andrew also followed suit. The elder brother is going to start a business, and the brothers naturally support it.


    Before returning home, Barnett had more than 10,000 pounds, at least he had enough confidence.


    Aldrich didn''t go home, but came to the door of the video store in the community. The store was closed. He knocked gently on the door, and the voice of black Sand came from the store for a while.


    "Who? Tomorrow to rent a videotape."


    It seems that Sander was a little scared, afraid that he would come to the door.


    There are indeed a few scattered gangs in the nearby community. Even if there is no large-scale gangster like drug smuggling, it is possible to squeeze immigrants for a protection fee.


    Aldridge said quietly outside the door: "It''s Sand, right? I''m Aldridge. I broke your window at night a month ago. I specifically apologized."


    Sander saw through the window that Aldridge was the only person outside the door, so he carefully opened the door and invited Aldridge into the shop.


    Aldrich looked at the video store and saw the dazzling sight of later generations, and the video store was lackluster.


    Sander always had a trace of vigilance in his eyes, but Aldridge once again reiterated that he had come to apologize, and sincerely bent down and bowed, Sander accepted it.


    Aldridge originally planned to leave after apologizing, but he accidentally found a video tape on a row of shelves and walked over. The video tape was not packaged, but the white paper was stuck on the side, with the date and two pieces written on it. The name of the team.


    Obviously, these are game tapes.


    Aldridge flipped through the videos one by one and casually chatted with Sand about football.


    When Sander asked, "Are you a Millwall fan?"


    Aldridge was silent for half a minute. Eventually, he shook his head frankly and said, "No, but my parents and two brothers are both."


    In this era of lack of entertainment, Aldridge was full of energy at night. He couldn¡¯t sleep, but he didn¡¯t have a VCR at home. He thought about it for a moment and asked Sander, ¡°Are you hiring anyone here?¡±


    Sander froze, shaking his head and said: "Please do not."


    Aldridge continued: "You close the door early in the evening, should you be afraid of an accident? I have a proposal, I will come to work for you at night, and pay nothing, as long as you let me watch the video in the store for free."


    East London dragons and snakes are mixed, and Sander¡¯s early closing at night is indeed afraid of an accident. Although Aldridge is still a child, he is a local in a nearby community after all. Although Arthur is only a glass seller, he knows Hall all around. The people of the family, with Audridge helping in the store, naturally added a layer of insurance to the store.


    After confirming with Aldridge again and again, Sand agreed with his proposal.


    From then on, Aldridge went to school during the day and worked at Sand at night. He watched the game tapes in his free time. Hiddenly, he had ideas about what kind of career he would pursue in the future.

 Chapter 3： Unexpected birthday present

    In the second half of 1986, the three boys of the Hall family marched on their respective ideal paths.


    Barnett left East London to study finance courses in West London, and plans to formally enter the financial market next year.


    Andrew discovers that Aldridge delves into the video of the football game every day, and when inquired, he learns that Aldridge wants to be a coach in the future, so he also wants to develop in this direction, but Aldridge advises him to become an emerging professional talent :broker.


    This is Aldrich¡¯s thoughtful thinking. He wants to use his advantages as much as possible. In the future, countless stars and superstars of the time are still half-big children, and with the great progress of world football ten years later The benefits that player agents can obtain are simply incalculable.


    When Andrew was attracted by the beautiful blueprint described by Aldridge, he began to study the law seriously, to become a lawyer, this is a condition for becoming a broker.


    Andrew often fantasizes that the unachievable football superstars are his clients, but just being able to get in touch with them at close range is like dreaming.


    And Aldridge is studying football tactics every day. As the birthplace of modern football, although England is famous for its rough play in the contemporary era, overall, English football has an indelible contribution to the world football process, even if half The trend-setting WM tactical change of Arsenal, the arsenal before the century, is not there.


    When Aldridge really started to put himself into a coach''s perspective and began to study the video of the game, he found that his former audience''s perspective was very undesirable, especially when watching the game in front of the TV. Most of the time, only one of the football games was seen. The small part, even though it is a wonderful part, can''t cover the overall nature of the whole game.


    In Sander¡¯s video store, he was able to turn a wonderful game over and over for a week or more. He wrote and wrote on the book himself. He wanted to position each offensive and defensive players, move players, track football, etc. Wait for thorough thinking.


    With the passage of time, Aldridge''s views on the football game have improved qualitatively. In his eyes, there is no chance for every goal conceded, and every goal is difficult to get along with luck. After thinking that he has stood Outside the gate of the football coach.


    Since Aldridge worked part-time in Sand¡¯s shop, the gangsters in the community did not make trouble in the shop. Sand saw Aldrich obsessed with football game videos, so he always looked for more game videos to bring to him when he received the goods. , Especially the video of other European league games.


    Winter came to spring, and after 87 years, Aldridge lived in step by step. Big brother Barnett tried to integrate into this cannibalistic game on the London Stock Exchange, and he was not eager to invest his capital.


    Aldrich didn''t know financial investment in his previous life, but he was a good student, but he highlighted the famous "Black Monday" in his textbooks.


    The time of the outbreak was October 87.


    This is a rare opportunity for the Hall family.


    Aldridge will also go to the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium to watch the wild lion Millwall game on weekdays, but he is always disappointed and returns, and repeatedly feels very rejected by the actions of the Millwall fan group.


    If Millwall will play against West Ham United, then the rogue fan group will become crazy within half an hour after receiving the news. What is the result of the game is not important at all. On the contrary, the off-court war starts from before the game starts. It continued after the game.


    The Heather tragedy in the 1980s was only a sign of the English football hooliganism. The football hooliganism that was suppressed by the domestic media and the government and subdued by the country is almost endless. Millwall and West Ham United are the representatives of this. Sex team.


    Aldridge wants to focus on the court, but England football has a tendency to go backwards, which is understandable. The English clubs that are banned from participating in the three European Cups are in a rhythm that is derailed from Europe, not to mention the second-level league. The technical content is not high, and the tactics are also lacking. It is the most intuitive visual sense to hold up the long pass and hold the ball with the brutal movement and strong force.


    Under such circumstances, Aldridge''s game against Millwall seemed to be disappointing, although there was a rising star in the team: Sheringham.


    In all fairness, Millwall was promoted from the second division to the second division last season, and completed the relegation task last season. This season, let alone hit the top league, at least have a firm footing. The team is in an ascending period. Derridge felt dull about Millwall''s game.


    He attributed such emotions to the games that were used to high levels of tactics in the past, and naturally he had no enthusiasm for rough and barbaric games. It was the sea that was difficult for the water, on the other hand, it was also a factor of watching the environment. Among Millwall fans, there is not even one minute to enjoy the game quietly, and the ears are always filled with fans'' words of cursing and slamming.


    Soon, the 86/87 second division came to an end. Millwall performed slightly better than last season, but has not jumped into the top league three times in a row like the mad Wimbledon. However, Sheringham will be next season. After finishing the loan and returning to the team, the team''s performance will be greatly improved.


    In a year, Aldridge has accumulated a lot of knowledge about football tactics. In addition to his own research, he reads books, but he implicitly feels that he needs more systematic and professional training, so he has the idea of ??studying football coaches. .


    It was not until the end of 1987 that Aldrich realized this idea.


    The day after the arrival of Black Monday in October, Barnett returned home late at night, trembling with excitement and telling everyone in the family: Fortune!


    The decades of economic prosperity after World War II finally reached its culmination. The European and American economies went into recession after Black Monday...


    Barnett used borrowing and financial market leverage operations. Although he didn¡¯t have much capital, he also earned hundreds of thousands of pounds. Then he took advantage of the low price and absorbed many stocks that Aldridge believes will have outstanding performance in the future. Funded, officially suspended, and entered the professional system of football coach training.


    Every year in the competition, Aldridge will use his memory to make a lot of money, 88 years, 90 years, 92 years...


    Since coming to this era in the summer of 1986 and becoming the youngest son of the Hall family, eight years have passed.


    On May 20, 1994, Aldridge flew from Zurich back to London. He went to take part in a teaching speech course organized by FIFA. When he took a taxi to East London, he looked at the street backwards. Jun Lang Si Wen''s face is full of trance.


    In recent years, he has traveled all over Europe. He travels to various places to study, which not only adds to his experience, but also gives him the most intuitive feeling for different styles of football in Europe.


    The taxi stopped in front of the villa on the outskirts of London. Aldrich paid the fare and tip. With the help of the taxi driver, he took out his two large suitcases from the trunk.


    Then, Aldridge looked at the manor-style villa with an extremely large area, filled with infinite emotion.


    Today, he can be regarded as Gao Fushuai.


    The growth of the Hall family''s wealth is like a rocket. When the European economy is in recession, Aldridge suggests that his brother should shift his investment focus to emerging Asian markets. Before the Asian financial turmoil swept through, the Asian economy was the only one to make a fortune. selected.


    It is conservatively estimated that Barnett¡¯s total wealth now exceeds 200 million pounds, and it is still an upward trend. Not only is it well-known in London, but it has also established friendly cooperative relations with many business families in North America.


    The door in front of the villa was open. Aldrich walked in with two large suitcases. There were several luxury cars parked on both sides of the wide road. Aldrich did not care. He bypassed the fountain in front of the door and arrived at the door. Before he put down his luggage and knocked on the door, there was no response. Aldridge pressed the door handle and pushed the door straight in.


    "boom."


    He had just opened the door, and there was a flower in front of him. Mother Amelia sounded a firework firecracker. Countless colored bars fell from the sky and fell on Aldrich''s flowing blonde hair.


    "Son, happy birthday!"


    Amelia stepped forward to hug Audric and kissed him on the forehead.


    Aldridge smiled afterwards and saw a crowd of people in the hall on the first floor, in front of him was the costumed Amelia and the father Arthur who had been in good health in recent years.


    After letting go of his mother, Aldridge stepped forward to hug his father. He smiled and said, "Your stomach is too scary."


    Arthur smiled silently while holding a cigar.


    Aldrich turned his head to look at the pair of men and women standing next to him. The elder brother Barnett and the sister-in-law Lia both looked like Lang Cai and women.


    Barnett embarked on an affectionate embrace with Aldridge and smiled in his ear: "Birthday gift, I put it in your study, be sure you like it."


    To the two younger brothers, Barnett is simply being spoiled by his father.


    Aldridge smiled and did not care, and then turned his head to look at Andrew, who is also in his early twenties, the two did not hug, Aldridge directly grabbed the glass from the other hand, and the two brothers laughed. Without saying anything.


    There were many guests in the lobby, most of whom were acquaintances who lived in the neighborhood and lived in the neighborhood, and there were also many old classmates and colleagues of two brothers and parents.


    These people, except for a very few Aldridge, have impressions, but most of them are unknown.


    The guests who came here were also curious. The youngest son of the Hall family was away all the year round, and he did not come back several times throughout the year. I heard that this young man was learning to be a football coach outside.


    Aldrich¡¯s return happened to be his birthday. He didn¡¯t mind hosting a party at home. After all, the Hall family is now very beautiful in London, which is not comparable to the more wealthy outsiders.


    Aldridge was very restrained at the party, but was able to talk and laugh with everyone who came to talk to him, showing his elegance.


    It wasn''t until late at night that Aldrich came up to his room. He first placed his salute properly. Two large boxes, one for clothes and the other for books and materials, he planned to put all the books in the study , And inadvertently saw a folder on the table.


    He opened the folder curiously and took a closer look, until finally he was surprised to find that this was a contract document for the ownership of the football club.


    He stared at the two names in the contract.


    One is his own.


    The other is the name of the football club.


    Millwall Football Club!

 Chapter 4： New era

    At this moment, Aldrich realized that this was the birthday gift from his elder brother Barnett.


    He sat on the back chair behind his desk and frowned.


    After returning from his studies, he did intend to engage in the industry of football coaching.


    But he never had the idea of ??quick success and intended to go step by step. He first applied for an ordinary coach in the London team and climbed step by step after he became familiar with the team.


    He doesn''t think that he can use his memory of watching football in later generations to get a job in the position of head coach.


    But now he owns a club like Millwall, does he still work for other teams as the boss?


    This is simply a fallacy in the wild world!


    Even if he himself is an ordinary coach in the Millwall club, how would other people think of him? His ordinary opinions will be regarded as a decree, and he may not even have the opportunity to communicate.


    Moreover, his feelings for the Millwall Club are very complicated. On the surface, he refuses this "dirty" team. But when he is studying in Europe, there will always be a picture in his mind. A Millwall metamorphosis. Imaginary picture.


    This is probably because the whole family except him is a **** fan of Millwall.


    According to Barnett, Aldridge must also be a fan of Millwall. Is it more exciting to give him his favorite club as a birthday gift?


    But Aldridge was caught in a tangle.


    Boom!


    The study door was concealed. Andrew in pajamas knocked on the door and walked in. When he saw Aldridge, he smiled and said, "Are you stupid?"


    Obviously, he knew what birthday gift Aldridge received.


    Aldridge seemed absent-minded and shook his head: "I never thought of owning a Millwall club."


    Andrew looked weird, and asked, "What do you mean? Don''t you want to be a coach? Is it stressful? Afraid of the team''s poor performance?"


    Aldridge looked up at the ceiling and said lightly: "Frankly, I am not a fan of Millwall."


    "what?!"


    Perhaps the brothers hadn''t discussed this topic before. The family just preconceived that everyone in the Hall family liked Millwall. Andrew didn''t expect Aldridge to be a traitor.


    Aldrich shook his head and said, "Forget it, it doesn''t make sense. Brother bought Millwall, why haven''t I heard the news before?"


    Andrew sat down on the leather sofa against the wall and lifted Erlang''s legs and shrugged: "Big brother bought the club in the name of an investment institution more than two years ago. Except for the announcement of the club''s change of ownership, everything has not changed, you know At that time, how old were you. At that time, the team was relegated from the top league and failed to advance. With the drag of the new stadium, it didn¡¯t cost much to buy a club. Brother wants to surprise you..."


    After listening to Andrew, Aldridge leaned back in his chair and meditated.


    In the past few years, he has always been concerned about Millwall¡¯s performance. He always told himself that he did not like this club, but he paid attention to the performance of this team every week. His behavior and thought contradicted each other. He There is no reason to explain.


    Millwall succeeded in scoring with Sheringham in 88. After entering the first division, he and Tony Cascarino formed an amazing striker to help the team relegate.


    This is always the case with newly promoted teams. They are ignored by others. Sheringham and Cascarino are well known for their siege, but the second year after the relegation is successful, it will not work because other teams have begun to have this pair of strikers. Targeted deployment, so under the premise of no big investment, Millwall returned to the second league.


    Speaking of it, Millwall is unlucky. If he can stay in the first-class stadium for two more years, he will follow the establishment of the Premier League and get a lot of income. Although the Premier League¡¯s first broadcast contract is less than 200 million pounds, it is not good for Millwall For a team like Seoul, which can be divided into millions of pounds, it is able to supplement at least three strong players.


    After the relegation, Millwall almost returned to the top league with Sheringham''s excellent play in the first season. Unfortunately, the first round of the upgrade playoffs suffered a 2:6 defeat to Brighton.


    After the upgrade failed, the establishment of the new stadium was in full swing. The club sold Sheringham to Nottingham Forest. The transfer price was 2 million pounds. At that time, it was already an expensive transfer value.


    Persevered for another season, Millwall did not improve much in the second division, even the promotion playoffs did not break in, and at this time, Barnett bought this club.


    In the first year of the club''s change of ownership, the team''s performance was average, and this season, Millwall finally made great progress, and the league ranked third in the upgrade play-off.


    Because this year is the World Cup year, the mainstream leagues have come to an end. After the establishment of the Premier League, the second-level league that has become the first division of the League has only the play-offs to play.


    Andrew said that as long as the team has better luck, it will be a Premier League team in the hands of Aldridge in the summer.


    A few days later, Aldridge watched the second round of the first round of the play-offs at Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium, Millwall vs Derbyshire.


    Aldridge was sitting next to Andrew in the stands, and many fans around him took the initiative to greet them.


    East London has been declining since World War II. The former industrial area has become a market and some small factories, but in recent years, the Hall family has gradually gained popularity in London. During the economic recession in Europe and the United States, the Hall family in London A large-scale investment has been made, and even the abandoned terminal has signs of revival. It should be known that West Ham and Millwall were born in the terminal shipyard.


    Many fans in the stands are grateful for the Hall family. When the environment was depressed, the Hall family let them keep their jobs and houses.


    The two children of the Hall family came to watch the ball in person, which is an exciting thing.


    The television broadcast lens has repeatedly aimed at Aldridge and Andrew, but no one knows that Millwall is now an industry of the Hall family.


    As the game started, Aldridge always sat calmly, while Andrew around him, like fans, sometimes danced with excitement, and sometimes sighed. The most noticeable thing for Aldridge was that a small wave in the east stands came from Derbyshire Fans, they seem like weak sheep, provoked by Millwall fans at the corner of the stadium...


    When the game was over, the stadium scoreboard showed a dazzling score.


    1:5.


    This is the total score of the two rounds.


    The home team is ahead.


    Millwall fell again in the first round of the upgrade play-off.


    In the chaos in the stands, Aldridge looked around and found that the fans in Derbyshire were ecstatic when they celebrated, annoying the Millwall extreme fan organization and forming a small-scale conflict in the stands.


    "Alas, it''s estimated that Polk''s people are wild again."


    Andrew patted Aldridge''s shoulder with a lost face. It was said a few days ago that maybe it was an English Premier League team that was handed to Aldridge. As a result, at the Lion''s Cave Stadium, his home court was fanned loudly. Slapped.


    Instead, Aldridge looked calm. He turned to Andrew and said, "Go to the press conference and announce that the Hall family will become the team owner."


    Andrew''s expression stunned and hesitated: "At this time?"


    The team just failed to compete at the level. It was a time when people were depressed. Everyone knew that the team was under the control of an investment agency, but the team was very stable inside. , The effects caused are probably difficult to assess.


    Aldridge didn''t say much, turned and walked off the court.


    He was very calm in his heart, and he was not lost for the team''s failure to overtake. On the contrary, he even thought it was a good thing.


    He did not return to school to die, since he wants to take over the team, then he must be in full control.


    If it is a successful team, his arrival is bound to cause turmoil, but for a failed team, he has a reason and confidence to push down the reconstruction.


    Andrew led Aldridge toward the press conference, and Aldridge suddenly turned around and asked, "What did you say about Polk?"


    "Oh, the heads of Bushwackers, and ICF are the opposites, so to speak, Millwall is fighting with people outside. Over 80% of them have the shadow of Bushwackers."


    Aldrich knew.


    Bushwackers and ICF are both extreme fan organizations, and it¡¯s plainly a football hooligan group.


    ICF is from West Ham United, InterCityFirm.


    The press conference was in progress. The arrival of Aldridge and Andrew did not attract attention. Some people were speaking on the stage because it was Millwall¡¯s home. The executives knew Andrew, and Andrew hung a idle position in the team. .


    Seeing Andrew and Aldridge walking towards the stage, the venue was quiet, and nearly a hundred pairs of eyes looked at the two young men in a puzzled manner, not knowing what they were doing, and even more strangely, the security guard did not stop them.


    Aldrich ignored everyone''s surprised eyes, stood upright after taking the stage, picked up a microphone, and said calmly: "Hello everyone, my name is Aldridge Hall, and Millwall Club was invested by BAA two years ago. The company acquisition, which is a company under the Hall family, just a few days ago, BAA Investment Company transferred the Millwall Club to my personal name. In other words, I am now the owner of the club, you can go to verify, but I want to It is announced that from today, Millwall will enter a new era, an era led by me, Aldridge."


    After saying this, ignoring the dumbfounded audience, Aldridge put down the microphone and turned into the backstage channel.


    Andrew followed, obviously feeling noisy at the press conference, and he called behind Aldridge: "Your kid is so cool."


    Aldridge stopped solemnly, turned back and said to Andrew: "In a week, I want the entire coaching staff to resign and leave. In addition, I will write a contract for me. I want to borrow three from my brother. Ten million pounds."


    Andrew looked dumbfounded and nodded involuntarily.

 Chapter 5： Paving the way for yourself

    The 1994 World Cup England halted the qualifiers, which made the whole of England seem very quiet when the World Cup is coming. Even if the mainstream media still have to focus on reporting on the World Cup, before the official start of the World Cup, it is obvious that the domestic people are not concerned about the World Cup. topic.


    The defending and successful Manchester United was only one step away from achieving the domestic triple crown, Albert, but unfortunately defeated Aston Villa at Wembley.


    Blackburn, which was built with a lot of money, was very effective, and the runner-up had ambitions for the championship in the coming year.


    Keegan¡¯s Newcastle United team is a beautiful scenery in the Premier League. Under the pleasing offensive football, striker Andy Cole scored 41 goals in the season and 34 league goals were horrible. It is only rumor that Ferguson has Got an idea.


    Svenden won only 5 games this season, scoring 100 goals...


    Arsenal won the European Cup Winners'' Cup...


    The Premier League news has passed, and Millwall lost to Derbyshire in the upgrade play-off. This is not a news of special concern, but Aldridge suddenly broke into the press conference, and announced Hall. The family is in charge of the team''s big news next season. This news deserves a great deal from reporters, because they can see that Millwall head coach is at a loss.


    In England, the authority possessed by the head coach, or traditionally the role of Manager, is protected and respected.


    If the team owner changes, but the head coach is in the dark, this is definitely big news.


    Especially when the people who make the Millwall locker room shake from the inside to the outside are just a young man who has just turned eighteen, reporters are even more eager for such news.


    Aldridge ignored the flooding outside, he sat quietly in the study at home, he could imagine that the Millwall Club was already in an earthquake.


    The team has just lost hope of returning to the top league, and then, the new boss came to power. This is related to everyone''s future and destiny. Naturally, no one can calm down.


    Boom!


    The knock on the door rang.


    "Please come in."


    Aldrich got up and greeted him. The group of people who walked into the study were headed by Andrew and Barnett. There were several middle-aged men in suits and suits behind him. They seemed to be the staff who came with Barnett.


    Barnett turned his head and lost his eyes at the entourage, and then walked to Audridge with Andrew. The three came to the window, and the conversation was relatively quiet.


    Barnett said with a little helplessness and complaint: "Audric, I am your brother, we are all from the Hall family, if you want money, just talk directly, I can give you a hundred, just I won¡¯t give you ninety-nine and thirty million pounds. Although it¡¯s not a small amount, but give me some time, I can still get it together. You take it, don¡¯t say it, it will hurt our feelings.¡±


    Barnett''s current net worth has exceeded 200 million pounds, but Audridge wants 30 million pounds, he will have to put out working capital, in the short term to raise funds naturally need to cash out stocks or sell investment industries.


    Although they used to be not as poor as they used to be, they were not gangsters. After eight years, the Hall family flew into the sky, but the family''s affection was not contaminated by copper odor. This was touched by Aldridge, but he still said rightly: "Brother , This is different."


    Barnett frowned and stared at him, hoping for a reasonable explanation.


    "The Millwall Club may be a toy for me, as long as it costs me only one goal: to be happy. But, in my eyes, this is a club, it is to spend money today, but also tomorrow Yes, the football club that is still needed ten years later, I need to get the club on the right track and need start-up funds. Brother borrowed me 30 million pounds, and I will return you 35 million pounds in five years. This is also a pressure on me If I can¡¯t afford it after five years, then I will sell the club, so as not to burn and waste money. If I can pay back to my elder brother after five years, it means I¡¯m successful. Elder brother, don¡¯t you want to see a successful Aldridge?"


    Barnett stared at Aldridge for a long time, and finally nodded. He nodded to the accompanying men and then turned back to Aldridge: "There is no interest, no five-year deadline, just sign. Just a contract."


    The people he brought were naturally lawyers and business assistants. A loan contract was placed in front of Audridge. He signed his name without hesitation.


    Barnett finally expressed regret at Aldridge because he also hoped that his birthday gift to his brother was a team that could kill the Premier League. Unexpectedly, Millwall remained in the Premier League.


    After Barnett got married, he and his wife Leah lived in West London. After all, his company headquarters was over there, so he soon quit with only one middle-aged man.


    The man was elegant and elegant, and took the initiative to introduce himself to Aldridge: "Hello boss, my name is Adam Jane. I have been the team¡¯s chairman for the past two years. In addition to the team¡¯s athletic affairs, I am taking care of it."


    Aldridge looked at Adam up and down, then shook hands with him formally, and then extended his hand. The two sat down on the sofa against the wall in the study, and Andrew brought two cups of coffee consciously.


    In terms of club management, Aldridge does not intend to intervene, but he wants to make clear his position with Adam.


    Within the team, as long as the player and the game are involved, they must ask him.


    Adam faced Aldridge 20 years younger than him, and had a feeling of being lifted by ears.


    "Adam, what do you think of the club''s future development?"


    Adam put the coffee down again and solemnly said: "The new stadium plan shelved, I think it should be put on the agenda as soon as possible. Having a better and larger stadium has a great impact on the club''s revenue."


    Aldridge nodded deeply, but he still said: "This is not urgent, I mean business strategy. First, I have a question. If you find you are offended, please forgive me. Do you understand commercial football? ?"


    Adam was stunned and frowned, saying tentatively, "Listing the club as a stock like Manchester United?"


    Aldrich shook his head and said lightly: "You must have had a general understanding of football for two years at the club, but I ask you, which club in England is the most successful?"


    "Manchester United."


    "Last thirty years?"


    "Manchester United."


    "Why did Liverpool become the king of Europe after Real Madrid, when Manchester United relegated to the second level, the most successful club in England, or Manchester United?"


    Adam frowned, it seemed difficult to answer.


    This is a very strange phenomenon. In the era of King Liverpool''s four European Championships, fans of the Red Army admitted that Manchester United is more favored by the outside world, and even Manchester United is relegated. Manchester United is still an indispensable Manchester United.


    It seems that Manchester United has a temperament, that their players and coaches are the best, and that they should be the best, arrogant and unhumble gestures, which makes Manchester United an alternative in European and even world football.


    The Manchester United that the Edwards family has worked tirelessly to build is a commercial Manchester United, not Manchester City Manchester United, but Manchester United in the world.


    In the early 21st century, why Manchester United, which has only two Champions League champions, can be compared with the giants such as AC Milan and Real Madrid that have a record in Europe?


    Even in the first two years of Real Madrid''s superstar policy, Manchester United''s jersey sales profit is still ten times that of Real Madrid!


    Manchester United is on top of the commercial value of sports clubs.


    Seeing Adam in deep contemplation, Aldridge said softly to him: "The commercial marketing of the football club is based on results. At present, the team is only a team in the English second-level league next season, so I will not give you Pressure, but when my team becomes a high-profile team in England¡¯s top arena, you have to play an important role. Until then, you will be free to manage the club. The task I give you is simple, that is Study, learn Manchester United, learn all Manchester United business operations, so be it."


    When Adam left, he glanced at the handsome Audridge. The lucky thoughts that despised before he came had long since vanished.


    Aldridge asked Adam to steal Manchester United and didn''t think there was anything wrong with it.


    After Frentino took over Real Madrid, he learned Manchester United''s commercial marketing methods. When he finally found out that he was only one Beckham, he took Beckham to Madrid. Since then, Real Madrid''s commercial value has increased day by day. , And gradually began to fight with Manchester United.


    When he sent Adam back to the study, Audridge found that Andrew was looking through his notebook. Andrew bowed his head and swept it. The dense tactical notebook above contained Audrich''s experience. Then he put the notebook and turned to express his solemn expression. Dao: "The club is going to be turned upside down, and even some players have already submitted applications for transfer.


    Aldridge was not surprised at all. He sat down and said: "It''s normal. Perhaps many people think that the 18-year-old boss will only use the team as a toy. Just now I have given Adam a list. The club first team I only Two people were left, a left back, a goalkeeper, and others, listed above 22 years old, those under 22 who want to leave without blocking, do not want to leave to go to the reserve team."


    Aldridge has specialized in the team¡¯s lineup and eventually left goalkeeper Catherine Keller, a 25-year-old goalkeeper and a 17-year-old Australian full-back Lucas Neal.


    The other main members are either old or Aldrich believes there is no potential to tap.


    He wants to take over the team, the first is the locker room.


    An 18-year-old young man who wants a group of players over 25 in the locker room to listen to him?


    dream!


    Therefore, Aldridge pave the way for himself with the simplest means.


    Sell ??all those who are not obedient.


    He has no time to test the player''s reaction, and this summer he is destined to be busy.

 Chapter 6： Form a new team

    Among the three sons of the Hall family, Barnett is the most prolific in the eyes of outsiders. He has made hundreds of millions of possessions in one hand, and the birth of his second son Andrew lawyers can also make his family shine. But Andrew was established three years ago. A brokerage company has only input and no output every year. It seems to be just a facade decoration.


    As for his youngest son Aldridge, he has been away all year round, and no one has the chance to meet one another. He has never heard of Aldridge''s academic achievements, so few people pay attention to him.


    In the study, Aldridge and Andrew discussed the future of Millwall. Andrew set up a brokerage company for 100,000 pounds three years ago. The business development in these years has been almost zero, but Andrew is very patient and he firmly believes in his The genius brother will not let him down.


    Sometimes Europeans are superstitious.


    Lucky colors, clothing, movements, etc. will always be trusted.


    When Aldridge was ten years old, the three brothers earned more than 10,000 pounds. Since then, Aldridge has not only been the mascot of the Hall family, but also a psychological guarantee for success and victory.


    It is only 94 years now, and Bosman¡¯s lawsuit has not yet finalized the ruling, only to be concluded by the end of next year.


    Before that, the players were the weak side, and the income was very small, and the restrictions were very much. Even the players who have expired the contract cannot transfer freely. It is conceivable that in this environment, the big players Need a broker?


    Unless another superstar like Best goes beyond football, of course, after the 21st century, superstars beyond football are not uncommon, but that is largely due to Bosman.


    After the Bosman Act has an impact, it will be the transfer spurt period in which players hope for a higher treatment. After that, the influence of the agent will become more and more important. This does not prevent Audridge from letting Andrew prepare for the rainy day. Good communication, building relationships with the club, and using the elder brother Barnett¡¯s business network in Europe and the United States to establish contacts are the key factors for the agent¡¯s ability to recruit players in the future.


    Therefore, 21-year-old Andrew, although there is no client in the company, but his employees have traveled all over the world and established a huge information network.


    In the past few years, Aldridge has studied throughout Europe, and Andrew has been collecting information and has been in contact with Aldridge.


    Aldridge used one of the most stupid ways to help Andrew pick players.


    The youth team player information of clubs around the world made Aldridge look at, including photos, which can make Aldridge pay attention, Andrew will personally come to establish a relationship, and if there are young players who have a hard life, Andrew will even provide free support, which is also Aldrich''s meaning is called early investment, because as long as he can become a player''s agent, even if he completes one or two transfers, it will be tens of thousands of times in return.


    Aldridge wants to clean the first team of the Millwall club, then the next step is naturally to find players, but also young and obedient players.


    So Andrew said first: "Remember the guy in the north of Brazil? He was hesitating recently. Is he signing with Corinthian to hear him say that there are other teams contacting him? I asked for my meaning last month. I don¡¯t have any suggestions. If you want, find him."


    Aldrich¡¯s mind hasn¡¯t been put on the player yet, but he listened to Andrew and shook his head: ¡°Forget it, sign him without a labor certificate. Besides, he hasn¡¯t signed with you yet, but after he signs, you can sign with him. Talk about this intention, promise to help him land in Europe, let him make more money, I will go to the Netherlands tomorrow."


    The Brazilian guy in Andrew''s mouth is not a simple character. He is the main force of the future World Cup champion. Mr. World Football and the Golden Globe winner, Rivaldo.


    Rivaldo lived very hard a few years ago. After the loss of his father, his mother supported the family. Andrew was then supporting the young Rivaldo, which was only twenty pounds a month, but the purchasing power of the pound plus the standard of living in Brazil is enough. Let Rivaldo no longer be distracted by family burdens.


    Andrew nodded and said, "Well, wait until he can get a labor certificate before letting him come to Millwall."


    Aldridge reluctantly denied: "Don''t, you must not have this idea. If he can go to the giants, let him go to the giants. This is an important time for you to build your reputation and fame. If you sign a good player Just plug it into his brother''s club, who would be willing to sign a contract with you?"


    Andrew scratched his head, intending to end this topic, and asked, "What are you doing in the Netherlands?"


    Aldrich spread his hands and said, "Form a coaching team."


    ...


    Amsterdam, The Netherlands.


    Aldrich came to the world-famous stadium Arena in the city in casual clothes.


    Here, there is an Ajax youth training base. When La Masia has not yet risen by the convenience of digging a corner after the Bosman rule, the most famous youth training base in Europe and the world is the only one. Ajax¡¯s De-Toekomst is famous, in Dutch, it means the future.


    In the summer of 1994, no one realized that Ajax¡¯s future was about to be destroyed by Bosman.


    There are numerous training grounds in this youth training base. Players of all ages and echelons under the leadership of the coach show their proud talents. Among the crowds on the field, there are both parents of children and **** from different clubs. Explore.


    When Aldridge last came here, it was Ajax¡¯s draft day. At that time, there were many people in the crowd. Many parents brought their children to the draft. However, children who meet the Ajax TIPS selection criteria are really rare. Little still, Aldridge sympathizes with the children who have not been chosen to cry in tears.


    Far away, Aldridge stood outside the training ground and shouted to a young man who was directing player training: "Jenson!"


    Jenson Bernard was wearing a relaxed coach uniform. Hearing someone calling himself, he looked back and found Audridge in the distance. Haha walked out with a smile, and waited for the training ground to come to Audridge. Smiled: "The weather is hot and sweaty, so don''t hug. Are you coming to the Netherlands to study again?"


    Aldridge lived in this neighborhood for a period of time, and shared a rent with the Jenson Bernard, so he formed a good relationship.


    "Are you still a coach? Not promoted?"


    Aldridge looked at the training ground with a smile on his face. Those hard-working children were enviable. Dutch football also made people respectful. 433, eternal offensive football.


    Jenson shrugged and said with pity: "There are too many talents here, it''s my turn to be carried by someone."


    Aldridge struck his ribs with his elbows, and said with a smirk: "Oh, what a sissy tone Jenson was when he had the ambition to become the head coach of Ajax."


    Jenson Bernard is a combination of luck and misfortune.


    He was favored by Ajax at a very young age, but after six years of training with Ajax, his talent seemed to be used up, but he was not expelled by Ajax, this is Ajax¡¯s Convention, so Jenson completed the transfer and turned from a player to a coach. Now Jenson, who is only 23 years old, is already a veteran coach of the Ajax youth camp. After all, he stayed here for four years. as long as!


    Jensen rubbed his ribs and smiled bitterly: "I can''t stand it anymore. I didn''t think that I was growing old with children every day. This is a kind of torture."


    Aldridge turned his head to look at him and said softly: "Come help me, promote you to be an assistant coach."


    Jansen said with a sneer: "I''m not interested in joking."


    "I''m serious, oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Aldridge Hall. My family is in London. I own a football club named Millwall. Next season, Millwall will be in England. Battle in the First Division."


    Aldrich stared at Jensen sincerely and said solemnly.


    He knows Jenson. On the days of shared tenancy, they have long talks all night long, discussing football tactics, analyzing game videos, and have their own views on the future development of football.


    Jenson has been unwilling to work in the youth camp since he became a coach, so he learned a lot of knowledge, including how to be an assistant coach or even a head coach. Of course, they are all talking on the paper, without any practical experience.


    And Aldridge is also inexperienced now, he can hire an experienced assistant coach, but such an assistant coach is bound to be old-fashioned and weighty, and his authority will be divided in the locker room. At that time, he does not know who the player listens to.


    Aldridge wants to clean up Millwall¡¯s current coaching team, not including the ordinary coaches who routinely train. Most of those coaches are physical coaches, and the coaching team related to the team¡¯s tactics is the core of the team. Know better than anyone.


    Players on the team can make mistakes. One player makes mistakes and can be compensated by another player. However, if the coaching staff makes mistakes, there is no room for remedies.


    Therefore, he wants to form his own coaching staff, the core of which is the key to winning the team''s tactics.


    Coaches like Jenson usually have contracts that expire at the end of June, so Aldridge first came to the Netherlands to dig people, in order to avoid the difficulty of digging people in July.


    Jenson saw that Aldridge did not seem to be joking, so he asked tentatively, "Assistant coach?"


    Aldridge nodded.


    "salary?"


    "The monthly salary is 1,000 pounds, and the contract is updated once a year."


    "housing?"


    "Provided by the club."


    "Fuck you!"


    Janson licked his lips and nodded fiercely.


    There are too many youth coaches like him in Ajax. Even if he has a monthly salary of three hundred pounds, even if he is a high salary, the treatment proposed by Audridge makes it impossible for him to refuse.


    After being excited, Jenson said again: "Do you need anyone else?"


    "How much you can dig, I want it all. Of course, the maximum age is 25 years old. I don''t want a generation gap within the coaching staff, and I don''t want someone to rely on the old to sell the old."


    "Yes, there are a few of you who knew each other. I went to be a lobbyist. What do you say about treatment?"


    Assistant coaches must be paid more than other coaches.


    "The monthly salary is 600 pounds, provided by the club."


    "Wait for my good news."


    Watching Jenson trotting and leaving, Aldridge looked up to the sky, facing the new season two months later, he was at least confident.

 Chapter 7： Pseudo local tyrant wielding pounds

    In Ajax, there are many young coaches who hold temporary contracts, especially in the youth team echelon, so it is not difficult to dig people.


    Most of these young coaches are people who were previously selected by Ajax but have fallen behind in training and growth. The failure to become a professional player does not mean that their tactical literacy and football knowledge are not up to the standard. On the contrary, Ajax is full of Where the football genes are, even a piece of turf seems to be full of football wisdom.


    Jenson contacted many peers. They lived in Amsterdam very close. When Aldridge came here to study a few years ago, he had been in friendship with many people, but it was not as strong as the shared Jenson.


    Under the persuasion of Jenson, many people were tempted. In addition to the substantial improvement in treatment, they were extremely tempted that they would work in the first team of a club.


    Although Ajax are Dutch giants, but they work in the youth team, they are not as good as the first team, and even in fierce competition, many people are unprepared.


    Aldridge was in a hurry, so he hurriedly met these people at night and made a promise to fly back to London the next day.


    Millwall has already exploded, and the fan community is waiting outside the club to give a statement.


    The head coach has resigned and the club has issued a notice.


    The team seems to be entering an unprecedented turmoil.


    But because the Hall family who is familiar with the neighborhood is the main club, there is no fan trouble.


    Aldrich visited the club facilities accompanied by Adam.


    The club is very old and the facilities are not perfect enough, even the football club of a few decades ago.


    The training ground of the players is rudimentary. It seems that the players come to the game after they come to the team to practice, and then the daily life is uninterested. This is also regarded as the mainstream of English football today. Even the members of the national team are drunk without restraint. Exercise life.


    The Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium can continue to be used. Although it is a little smaller, Aldridge cannot put everything in one step.


    But he still shook his head in disappointment and said to Adam: "The training site was renovated in a month and a half, and around the training camp, help me see if there are modern facilities in the hotel."


    "Huh? Hotel?"


    "Well, there must be a gym, meeting room, swimming pool, sauna, massage, restaurant, etc. Starting next season, the team will train daily, except in the training ground, in the hotel."


    "In this case, the expenses..."


    "Before the new training base was built, I am afraid that such a hotel will be used for a long time. If it is not cost-effective to rent, then buy it, whether it is the name of the club or the name of the Hall family, the money is from the club account expenditure."


    The price of land in London is small, and the price of land is large, while East London is a relatively cheap area, which is why dragons and snakes are mixed here.


    But a hotel, in the context of the current era, is not necessarily too expensive. It must be won within a million pounds. If it is not in a hurry, Aldridge would rather build a hotel by himself. Of course, at that time, he A new training base must be built.


    Adam took out his notebook and took note of Aldridge''s command. At the end, Aldridge turned to him and said, "Where is the transfer negotiation team in the club?"


    Adam immediately said: "All are out. According to your request, after the players are listed, many clubs have sent transfer intentions, and some have directly quoted."


    Aldridge nodded and said in a deep voice: "Wait for them to be busy here, and then let them come to me. Next, it will be a busy time. In addition, the club needs several new departments, the first is medical Department, you come to find sports medicine experts. The second is the diet department. During the time the players are in the club, the diet is controlled by the club. I need scientific and nutritional catering talents. Traditional fries, puddings, and fried fish are not allowed. Appeared on the dining table."


    Adam wrote down these requirements again and then asked: "What should I do with the team''s coaching staff and scouts?"


    "You don''t have to worry about this, I will arrange it."


    Aldridge met every staff member in the club in the following days, so that the chaotic club quickly stabilized from the inside, and the work of the transfer department also came to an end.


    Millwall''s original first-team players were sold to more than ten people, and they were only exchanged for ¡ê1.8 million. This is not only because of the club''s active sell-off, but also because the current player''s worth is generally not high.


    You know that Crystal Palace¡¯s top shooter Ian Wright transferred to Arsenal for only 2.5 million pounds, and the famous Sheringham three years ago was only worth 2 million pounds.


    When the US World Cup is about to kick off, Aldridge and Andrew are screening players in the club.


    Next he will start looking for candidates in the transfer market.


    Andrew looked at Aldridge sadly, and said anxiously: "Aldridge, there are only a few people in the first team of the club now, and the outside world is very optimistic about Millwall. Adam went to buy a hotel. Under reconstruction, do you know what you say in the newspaper? Say you are fooling around. The football club sold out the players and then went to buy a hotel. Are you going to transform Millwall into a vacation destination?"


    Aldridge glanced at the list on the table without looking up, taking Andrew''s words as a whisper, and said lightly: "I will bring in players, will anyone come?"


    Andrew shook his head frankly, saying: "Milwall has no heritage and is a second-level team. With the turbulence of the club, who would be willing to jump in this fire pit?"


    "How about I give players a thousand pounds of weekly salary?"


    "This is indeed quite a lot."


    "Three thousand pounds."


    "There are fewer than five players on this list who can deserve such a salary."


    "No, I give these players a minimum of 3,000 pounds and a maximum of 8,000 pounds!"


    "You are crazy! This is the salary of the top Premier League players!"


    Andrew looked at the calm Aldridge incredulously, and even he doubted whether this younger brother was fooling around wildly!


    Aldrich raised his head and said frankly: "I borrowed 30 million pounds from my elder brother, 10 million pounds is the transfer funds, and the other 20 million pounds is the club salary guarantee for the next two years. When the third year, if you still pay No good results, but the club¡¯s income in the first two years is enough to pay for the third year¡¯s salary. If I can¡¯t allow Millwall to go to the Premier League in three years, then I will give up my dream of being a child and be a dude waiting for death. Children."


    Andrew was speechless in consternation, and sighed for a long while: "Well, if you plan to lure these players with high wages, I think, no one will refuse, who will refuse to earn a salary of 10 years and 20 years a year What."


    Aldrich knew very well that Millwall was poor in the background and background, and even the rogues of football were not well-known, which did not help him to recruit players.


    However, in this blank period of football change, the outside world has not yet realized the value of the stars, and even the player group is not aware of how much money they can make, Aldridge has the opportunity to lure with a high salary.


    The weekly salary is a minimum of 3,000 pounds and a maximum of 8,000 pounds. What is this concept? With a player of 3,000 pounds a week, the club only needs to pay less than 200,000 pounds in salary each year, and the salary is pre-tax, which has nothing to do with the club.


    Even with a weekly salary of 8,000 pounds, the annual club spending does not exceed 500,000 pounds.


    But in 1994, it was definitely a jaw-dropping salary.


    Before the Bosman Act, what was the weekly salary of the top British star Reinkel?


    Five thousand pounds.


    Even after the Bosman Act, Manchester United''s Beckham was selected to the British national team, what is the weekly salary of him and Keane?


    No more than four thousand pounds.


    Even the star''s salary is only such a pitiful thousands of pounds, so what is the average weekly salary for ordinary players, especially unnamed players?


    Most of Aldridge''s players to be introduced this time may not have a weekly salary of even one hundred pounds!


    In other words, the question that these players will think about when facing the contract is simple, how much money they make!


    What Andrew really said: playing Millwall for one year and earning money for ten or twenty years!


    Although this description is not appropriate, especially compared to the Jinyuan football in later generations, but at this moment, Audridge does intend to play a fake tyrant wielding pounds.


    Maybe some people now despise such behaviors as ridiculing Aldridge, but when the era of rapid development of commercial football is coming, especially when the Premier League is the vanguard, the first thing to taste the sweetness is necessarily the England team, Aldridge naturally does not Will inherit the traditional stinginess of England in this "stingy" era.

 Chapter 8： On the way to reconstruction

    Millwall is a magical club, at least in the eyes of Aldridge.


    Millwall hates Chelsea even though Chelsea is far away in West London.


    Although Aldridge is from East London, Millwall Club is in southeast London.


    Geographically, West Ham United and Charlton are closer, and Millwall is also the same, but Millwall and West Ham United have become the deadly enemy of East London''s century-old Derby, which will trace the history of a hundred years ago.


    And Millwall has a derby relationship with the Crystal Palace in South London, and there is Millwall in the South London derby. Instead, Charlton, who is in the middle, no matter who he meets, the atmosphere of Derby is only a little bit.


    Aldridge took the club¡¯s transfer team to southern London. Here, Millwall¡¯s South London derby rival Crystal Palace won the Premier League title last season and will set foot in the Premier League in two months.


    However, at this time, Millwall submitted a transfer offer to Crystal Palace.


    The target is Gareth Southgate.


    The first quote was ¡ê1 million.


    This quotation did not get a response from the Crystal Palace, and I sneered at it.


    Southgate is only 23 years old this year and is an excellent central defender. Although he is now playing in the midfield of Crystal Palace, he is a hero of the Crystal Palace and has a background in the blood of the Crystal Palace.


    However, when the second offer of ¡ê2 million was faxed to the Crystal Palace Club, only half an hour later, the other party responded.


    ¡ê5 million!


    Faced with such a reply, Aldridge smiled.


    Not afraid of the other party''s lion''s mouth opening, afraid that the other party will not bargain.


    After some tussle negotiations, Millwall''s ¡ê2.8 million offer made the Crystal Palace club surrender.


    2.8 million pounds, which is even worth a top shooter!


    Is Southgate worth the price?


    From a purely athletic perspective, it may not be worth it. Andy Cole, who can score 41 goals in a season, transfers to Newcastle United for only 1.75 million pounds, although next spring, he transferred to Manchester United at 6 million, setting a new record.


    But the value of current players has not been overstated. Of course, the really valuable players are the forwards who can score.


    Aldrich bought Southgate for nothing more than two reasons. One is that Southgate is young and able to fight, and is the main member of the future England national team. There is a local international team sitting in the dressing room of the team. Derich needs it. The second reason is that the players who dig in the enemy are very encouraging to the morale of the fans.


    In the small apartment where Southgate lived in South London, Aldridge and Andrew came to visit Southgate in person.


    Southgate knows Andrew, only people he knows. Southgate is not enthusiastic about the arrival of the two brothers of Audridge. His wife poured tea for the two and left the living room Men.


    After introducing himself, Aldridge put a contract in front of Southgate.


    Southgate did not look at it, and said calmly: "Please come back, I am not interested in going to Millwall, a club that does not even have a head coach, I don''t see any future."


    "Head coach, yes, I am."


    Aldridge said equally calmly.


    Sudsgate''s expression flashed with surprise, and then a smile that was nothing but a smile.


    He was naturally when Aldridge was joking, if not joking, it would be nonsense.


    Aldridge opened the contract and put it in front of Southgate. He said lightly: "The weekly salary is 6,000 pounds, and the contract has been successfully updated. The salary rose to 8,000 pounds, and then increased by 10% year by year. In addition, according to the team Bonuses are awarded at the end of the ranking season. The contract period is five years."


    Southgate''s expression was stunned, and he unexpectedly had such a generous contract before him!


    This is not much more than the money he earned in the Crystal Palace.


    He is a little bit emotional. Professional athletes eat youthful meals. The sports life is not only short, but also has the risk of injury and illness.


    It''s normal for people to make more money, there is nothing to be exalted.


    He still hesitated and said: "You are so young, head coach?"


    Aldrich closed the contract documents on the table and stared at Southgate in amusement. Both were men about 1.85 meters tall, and no one was condescending.


    "Garez, I am not here to beg you to join Millwall. I came in person, just to express my sincerity. Crystal Palace received your offer of 2.8 million pounds and allowed you to transfer. In exchange for me, I don¡¯t I will hypocritically say that players are priceless, but you, in my eyes, at least 15 million pounds, I know your value, I also think that this contract is due to you, I have a coaching qualification certificate, I do not need to show you See, I don¡¯t have time to prove to you here whether I will coach the team. If time permits, I can show you more than 20 corner kick tactics, more positioning ball tactics, and sports warfare offense and defense concepts, but I¡¯m Boss, I¡¯m the team¡¯s coach, I don¡¯t need to prove anything to you, my team is Millwall, the most successful future English team in the future, I don¡¯t care what you¡¯re thinking, the opportunity is in front of you, I missed it It''s your loss."


    Andrew kept a smile on his face, but his heart really pinched sweat for Aldridge.


    Listening to Aldridge''s tone, there is quite a sense of supremacy, which is consistent with the British arrogance.


    Aldridge''s indifferent expression also revealed a self-confidence that was never disguised, which made Southgate stare at Aldridge for a long time before he recovered.


    In front of him, Aldridge has a temperament, unlike the clown with a small mouth on his mouth. This kind of arrogance and self-confidence is sometimes the most needed on the court and the most needed by a coach.


    Southgate pondered for a moment, then asked: "My position on the team?"


    The opponent was relaxed, Aldridge said in a deep voice: "You come to the team is my captain, but in the future, you will have some changes in your position, in the Crystal Palace you play midfielder, come to Millwall , You will be the main defender, believe me, I have a video of your performance throughout the season, I know your role and strength better than you."


    Southgate remained silent for a long time, and finally nodded and agreed.


    When leaving South London to get on the bus, Andrew said in a trance: "I still saw this negotiation for the first time."


    Aldridge said in the co-pilot position: "I am the boss, I am the head coach, I don''t need to look at anyone''s face, if I ask the players to come to my team, what authority do I have?"


    "Oh, where is the next stop?"


    Andrew asked with a smile, he felt his brother started to be a little majestic.


    Aldrich casually said: "Send me back to the club, then I will stay in the club, you can run around hard, your company will take advantage of this opportunity to sign some players, just, I give you a high salary, you Matchmaking and win-win."


    Andrew is pleased to lead the order. Although Southgate has also been in contact with him before, when he contacts, Southgate is already the main player of the Crystal Palace, and the relationship is as light as water.


    But on the list of players that Aldridge wants to buy, most of Andrew has had contact in the past two years. It is precisely through the opportunity of Aldridge recruiting high-paying temptations that he has officially taken the pace of an agent.


    Aldridge returned to the Millwall Club and began sending faxes of transfer quotations to clubs across Europe.


    The team is pushing down and rebuilding, so he starts online talent from every position.


    The goalkeeper, the club has left Catherine Keller, this player has the ability, but to deal with the level of the Premier League, it can not be said that the level is not enough, but it is definitely not a top goalkeeper.


    So, Aldrich asked the German second team Oldenburg for the other young goalkeeper: Hans Jorge Bout.


    This future German third goalkeeper is only the first team that has just been promoted to the team. Last season, he only had two appearances in the German second division. Not to mention fame. Perhaps Oldenburg is still in the stage of testing his strength.


    The offer is 100,000 pounds, which is an expensive transfer for the small team, not to mention the goalkeeper who has no reputation and strength test.


    Soon, 20-year-old goalkeeper Bout''s transfer was allowed, and the final offer was 150,000 pounds.


    Southgate has joined in the position of central defender, but the height of Southgate''s 1.8 meters is still insufficient for air defense. Aldrich sent a transfer directly to Cambral who fell into the Dutch second league last season. Will quote: 200,000 pounds for central defender Yap Stam.


    After raising the transfer price to 350,000 pounds, Millwall''s negotiating team flew to the Netherlands to negotiate contract treatment with Stam.


    100,000 pounds received 18-year-old Patrick Vieira from AS Cannes, France.


    Perugia has just been promoted to the Italian Serie B. It was time when money was needed. Aldrich took away their young player Gattuso with ¡ê300,000, which made Perugia''s chairman Sharani mocked in front of the Italian media. Aldridge is a fool.


    Because Gattuso signed a contract with Perugia only a month ago, Perugia made almost ¡ê300,000 without spending a penny...


    At just 17 years old, Michael Ballack, who had not signed a formal professional player contract, was tempted by Andrew directly to London with a weekly salary of 3,000 pounds.


    The transfer application of 1 million pounds directly shocked the chairman of Sparta Prague. The transfer of Eastern European football is naturally not as expensive as the mainstream of Europe. Therefore, after Aldridge only raised the price to 1.2 million pounds, Millwall Obtained the opportunity to discuss the transfer with Pavel Nedved, a player in Sparta Prague.


    If it weren''t for Andrew Nedved who had contacted the opponent before entering the first team of Sparta Prague, I''m afraid this transfer will be yellow.


    But Aldridge''s high salary is enough for the players to consider the gains and losses first.


    It is not enough for Andrew to describe Nedved''s vision of Aldridge. Aldrich personally expressed his sincerity after talking with Nedved on the phone and offered to include in the contract an automatic termination clause that cannot be promoted next season. Only when Nedved expressed his willingness to join, it was considered to be trying to make a move in England. If it was not successful, it would be very cost-effective to leave after earning a year of money.


    Aldridge then offered the French Metz club ¡ê500,000 for Robert Belles.


    ¡ê300,000 brought back 20-year-old Bernd Schneider from Jena in the German second division.


    100,000 pounds took away the 18-year-old Luca Tony from the Italian third-class team Modena.


    350,000 pounds from the Dutch Dan Bosizhi club received their young teenager, 18-year-old king of the restricted area, Van Nistelrooy.


    ¡ê200,000 brought a 17-year-old French young man from Plattens, Argentina, back to Europe. His name was David Trezeguet.


    When Aldridge was about to leave for France to meet a friend, Andrew gave Aldridge a surprise.


    17-year-old Zambrotta was turned to London by Andrew before preparing to sign with Como.

 Chapter 9： Drill the loophole and springboard

    Monaco.


    The Principality with a beautiful scenery and a pleasant climate backing to the Mediterranean Sea is the peak tourist season in the summer. The streets are crowded. Adrich in a sportswear wears pockets in his hands and wears a pair of sunglasses. He walks into a quiet cafe.


    In the deck at the corner of the cafe, there was an elegant man of nearly fifty years old, who was staring at the scenery outside the window.


    Aldridge came across to sit down, took off his sunglasses, smiled like a sun, and said, "Hi, Arcena."


    The gentle man looked at Aldridge with admiration and said lightly: "I haven''t seen it in four years, and the kid has become a talented person. You suddenly visited Monaco and came just right, otherwise I will go to London to find you, let''s say , What way did you take my people."


    Aldridge pretended to be confused, and said, "Sir, I don''t know who you are talking about."


    "The young Frenchman, I asked the club for an offer yesterday, intending to take him back from Argentina to France. As a result, he had already packed his luggage and left. I inquired and found out that he transferred to Millwall."


    The man sitting opposite Aldridge is now the head coach of Monaco, Alsena Wenger. Five years ago, Aldridge witnessed the glory of Wenger leading the team to win the Ligue 1 championship in Monaco. Unfortunately, the next five years , Marseille domineering five consecutive championships, Wenger''s life is not easy now.


    Aldrich knew that the other party was talking about Trezeguet, and said with a smile: "No way, I want to beat myself up, and now I want to grab people. As for the method used, hehe, it¡¯s very simple. My brother knew David. In addition, I gave him high treatment for first-line players, er, a weekly salary of three thousand pounds."


    "He is only 17 years old."


    Wenger frowned, and seemed dissatisfied with Aldridge''s approach.


    Aldrich played with the taste: "Well, 17 years old, it is the age of rebellion. If you want to be alone, first of all, of course, you must have an independent financial source. Making a lot of money not only makes you confident, but also proud in front of your family, huh, huh, Alsena, the times are about to change. You probably thought I was burning money, but remember what we talked about on the phone half a year ago?"


    Wenger reveals the color of his memories and wonders after a while: "Bosman''s lawsuit?"


    Aldridge nodded and shrugged: "This summer, there will be a lot of critics who laughed at me as a prodigal, a foolish egg. It doesn¡¯t matter, time will prove everything. Not to mention this, to return to the legend and to do the right thing, my purpose is very simple , I want you to raise your hand high and give me someone."


    Wenger suddenly looked displeased, and he was not angry. "Why? You come to dig me, who do you like?"


    "The offer of 500,000 pounds has been delivered to the Monaco club. I want Henry. Monaco is simply a profit. I haven''t even invested 10,000 pounds on Henry."


    As soon as Aldridge''s voice fell, Wenger suddenly glared: "No! He is the future of Monaco! ¡ê500,000? Are you a Monaco team that has never seen money?"


    Aldridge smiled toothlessly without saying a word.


    Wenger continued to frown and said, "After the Times reported that you were in charge of Millwall, I also followed a lot of your movements. Most of the players that your team signed recently are from low-level leagues. It¡¯s a frustrating move for the team to see the money and open the star of hope. This is the rule of the football market, but Monaco is not your German second, Dutch second, Italian second...


    "Don''t be excited, don''t be excited, let''s continue to discuss."


    "No negotiation, Henry does not sell."


    "What if I pay ¡ê1 million? Will Monaco still let go?"


    Wenger was silent, staring at Aldridge rather helplessly.


    In the end, he sighed heavily: "Marseille digs me, Paris Saint-Germain also digs me, and now, even you little one digs me..."


    Although Marseille has won five consecutive Ligue 1 championships, Wenger has been able to lead the team''s top results under the circumstance of being dug out for several consecutive years, which is enough to demonstrate his coaching ability. Unfortunately, the clever woman can''t cook without rice. How his future generations were in a similar situation after Arsenal''s glory.


    Aldridge couldn''t bear to "bully" this old friend, and said lightly: "Thuram."


    Wenger looked puzzled, Aldridge said: "1.5 million pounds, I don''t want Henry anymore, don''t stop Thuram, Arsena, Thuram Monaco can''t keep it, I''m sincere enough to give a defender 1.5 million pounds , Don¡¯t you give him to me, don¡¯t you wait for other teams to dig? I can give him a top salary of 8,000 pounds a week.¡±


    Wenger was slightly moved, mainly due to Aldrich''s phrase "Would you like to wait for other teams to dig?" stimulated him.


    He trained a lot of good players in Monaco, but in the end he couldn''t escape the fate of being poached, even if he was grateful to George Weah of Zade, he still left him.


    "My captain, you want to take away ¡ê1.5 million?"


    "Well, I''m not too verbose, ¡ê3 million. Isn''t that enough for a defender?"


    In the current era, 3 million pounds is already the value of a first-class star. Although there is still a gap from superstars, you must know that Maradona¡¯s transfer value was only 3 million pounds at that time. Of course, also It is much stronger than today¡¯s equivalent purchasing power, and just seven years ago, the world record worth of Gullit was no more than 5 million pounds, and just two years ago, the Premier League¡¯s top star transfer value was only about 3 million pounds. In addition to the fact that the value of offense players¡¯ transfer is generally higher, Aldridge¡¯s price is enough to impress the Monaco club.


    And he even believes that the contract treatment he has made can also make Thuram tempted. In this era, if you want Juve to give Baggio tens of thousands of weekly players, what kind of arrogance must it be? How many stars can let a television station follow life reports as a program like Gascoyne and still have a very high rating in the UK?


    What''s more, Aldridge''s contract also includes annual salary increase clauses and bonuses.


    Wenger just sighed heavily and agreed with Aldridge''s proposal.


    As for Henry, Aldridge wanted, but he knew there was no chance.


    When Henry becomes famous in the Ligue 1 next season, I am afraid that it will not be able to take away 1 million pounds. After the dust of the Bosman Act is settled next year, he will have no time to drill. Then he will have more headaches about how to stay. People in their hands.


    After chatting with Wenger in the cafe for a whole day, Aldridge rushed to the Atlantic city of Nantes in western France the next day, where he also had an important transfer and needed to reach an agreement.


    A quotation of ¡ê1.5 million was delivered to the Nantes Club for Claude Makelele!


    The final negotiated price was fixed at 2 million pounds.


    Aldridge also successfully seduce Makelele with a high salary, but these outstanding players, Aldridge did not hesitate to add a clause in the contract that cannot be promoted to automatic termination next season.


    After returning to London, Aldridge received a call from Italy.


    "Mr. Hall, please forgive me for taking the liberty, but your team is chasing my son. I don¡¯t know what it means. Although your team is in the English second-level league, I think the level of competition should be It¡¯s higher than the Italian Serie A. I hope my son will get better exercise. However, I want to know your sincerity and team building plan."


    Listening to the crappy English on the other end of the telephone receiver, Aldridge was confused, but asked quietly, "Excuse me for offending, may I ask you?"


    "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Giuseppe Matrazzi."


    Aldridge suddenly realized, and then respectfully said: "Hello, I do intend to introduce your son. I have high expectations for the team next season, next season, and even the next 5 to 10 years. I need a lot of young talents. To come to achieve this goal, your son, Marco, is an important member of my plan. If you pay attention to my club, you will know that we have signed a lot of powerful players recently."


    "But I don''t want Marco to develop long-term in the UK."


    "But as you said, he stayed in Italy and only played in the C-League. He came to Millwall. He will play in the English First Division next season. A year later, he will appear in the top English arena. Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool and other top teams compete. Isn''t this better for his growth? Excuse me, if Marco stays in Italy, how many years will it take to compete with the top teams?"


    "Marco goes to Britain, can you guarantee his main position?"


    "Sir, there are 46 games in the league in a season of the League One, plus two cup games. It is conservatively estimated that if there are 50 games in a season, Marco can play 20 games and get a lot of progress."


    The other end of the phone pondered for a moment, and finally, Giuseppe Matrazzi said: "Mr. Hall, thank you for your sincerity, but I also hope to get a guarantee from you that if one day, one day Italy will be more competitive The team hopes to get Marco, you will not block."


    Aldridge sighed in his heart. Opposite this Giuseppe Matrazzi was not an ordinary player father, but a well-known coach in Italy. It was reasonable to envision the future of his son, and in his heart, the opponent I definitely don¡¯t look down on English football, but I hope that his son¡¯s development has a bigger springboard. How can it be better than the Italian third league, and the salary is also good, plus the experience of different environments, can make Marl Ko Materazzi has accumulated more experience.


    It''s just that in the future, you should go back to Serie A, the highest arena in Italian minds.


    "Sir, I can assure you that if Marco wants to leave one day, I won''t stop it. I have a simple philosophy of running clubs and coaching teams: get together and get together."


    "Oh? Mr. Hall, are you going to coach the team yourself?"


    "Yes, I was preparing and waiting for this day eight years ago."


    "Oh, I wish you good luck, and I look forward to seeing you on the sidelines. I won''t disturb you, bye."

 Chapter 10： Lend money before lending an individual

    Millwall''s signing work is far from over, and even Andrew is more active than Aldridge. After leaving Italy, he went to Northern Europe to take a turn, bringing Aldridge back two who have not signed an official player contract. Players.


    21-year-old Ole Solskjaer and 17-year-old Jesper Grenchar who have not debuted in Molde.


    There are a few more candidates to add to the Aldridge lineup, and a heavyweight transfer is still in the pipeline.


    Although there are already two people in the goalkeeper position, the first-team regular configuration of three talents is considered insurance, so Aldridge picked a 17-year-old Richard Wright.


    In the rougher League One, it is normal to save a few more strikers. Aldridge used only 10,000 pounds to discard the Saint Southampton youth training from the English semi-pro club Podick. Ven Phillips took to the Lion''s Cave Stadium.


    Bradford is still fighting in the second level, Aldridge poached their central defender star Dean Richards for 250,000 pounds.


    Long before the World Cup kicked off, Aldridge sent the second offer to other clubs after finalizing Southgate''s transfer. He asked Feyenoord of the Netherlands for the other''s striker: Henrik Larson.


    Although Feyenoord is regarded as the top strong team in the Dutch First Division, it is financially unable to compete with a club like Ajax. It is not good to say that they are only smaller than the mainstream league. The team has a glorious facade.


    Aldrich''s first purchase price was 500,000 pounds, and the other party refused, but the tone was not very certain. When Aldridge raised the price to 1 million pounds, the other party immediately started further negotiations on the price, and the final transfer price was fixed at Over ¡ê1.25 million.


    The price of this agreement was set half a month ago, after the World Cup kicked off.


    If it was early July now, Feyenoord would definitely strike Aldridge hard, and at least fix 2 million pounds.


    When Millwall officially announced a lot of heavy signings, especially Southgate, Thuram, and Makelele were all transfer prices of more than 2 million pounds, those hindsights sold players to Austria. It was only at the club of Delige that the 18-year-old upstart was a silly bonnet!


    A year ago, the British transfer record was just created by Manchester United with ¡ê3.75 million in Roy Keane.


    You know, last summer, the total investment of 22 Premier League teams in the transfer market added up to no more than 60 million pounds!


    Aldridge is in charge of Millwall''s Premier League team, almost topping the transfer of three Premier League teams!


    But this transfer is in a stalemate phase. On the one hand, Larson is playing for the World Cup on behalf of Sweden. On the other hand, he is hesitant to join a club in the English second-level league, even if Aldridge opened. Generous salary contract and termination clause.


    Larsen''s wait-and-see and hesitation gave Feyenoord a chance to repent. After the World Cup ended, Feyenoord immediately sent someone to Sweden to privately express his hope that he would refuse to transfer.


    At the same time, Aldridge also went to Sweden. He didn¡¯t need to tell Larson that it was a mess. Millwall¡¯s investment in this summer has shown the ambition of this team, and it is mainly based on the youth army. Sen is about to turn 23 years old. Although he is definitely a young player in other teams, there is no doubt that in Millwall, he will be an important player of the team, and in terms of fame and strength, it will also be this. The backbone of the team.


    The Feyenoord club turned out to be clumsy. If they didn¡¯t send someone to persuade Larson, perhaps Larson might not have joined Millwall, but they allowed the players to go back after the transfer, just to knock on Aldridge. For a sum of money, this is very disgusting to Larson. Players are commodities. This is a cold fact, but no player will really treat himself as a commodity, especially a famous player.


    Aldridge finally reached a handshake with the humble and low-key striker in Sweden. In the new season, the Swedish striker will win the wall for Millwall!


    Since the Ligue 1 kicked off on August 12, the team¡¯s training session was in late July, and Larsen, who participated in the World Cup, Aldridge informed him that he could come to the team to report in the first week of August .


    On July 19, Aldridge looked at the list of players in his office and felt that the signing was over.


    Goalkeeper:


    Catherine Keller.


    Hans Yogel Boot.


    Richard Wright.


    Guard:


    Gareth Southgate.


    Yap Stam.


    Dean Richards.


    Marco Materazzi.


    Lilian Thuram.


    Gianluca Zambrotta.


    Lucas Neal.


    Midfielder:


    Patrick Vieira.


    Pavel Nedved.


    Gnarro Ivan Gattuso.


    Claude Makelele.


    Michael Ballack.


    forward:


    Robert Pires.


    Jesper Grenchar.


    Bernd Schneider.


    David Trezeguet.


    Luca Tony.


    Luther Van Nistelrooy.


    Henrik Larson.


    Kevin Phillips.


    Ole Solskjaer.


    There are 24 players in the first team.


    Aldridge looked at this list in deep contemplation. The full-back seemed to be a little weak. There were only three people in the concept. However, Lucas Neal and Zambrotta both eat on both sides, as did Marklele. Playing as a full-back, and later changed the back to play for the national team, but Aldridge wanted to directly play him into the back, otherwise it would be too wasteful.


    And the team''s three-line general on the center line of the front and back three lines is what Aldridge can rely on. Southgate on the back line, Nedved in the midfield, and Larsen is naturally on the front line.


    It¡¯s just that the position of the wing forward is slightly weaker, Glenn Carre is still young, if Pires and Schneider are injured, Nedved can take care of on the left, but there are fewer attack points on the right, Aldridge Thinking about it, he really doesn''t want to focus his hopes and energy on some talented players.


    In the transformation of the team, it is necessary to go step by step. In the league such as the League One, the side pass is unsuccessful. If you want to play technical flow, the rough foul will suddenly make the team collapse, so the traditional side Road tactics can never be abandoned, even in the Premier League, this is also one of the important tactics in the next two decades, but the role of the side pass is gradually shared from the traditional full-back and the full-back, which is also the development of modern football Trends, diversification and comprehensiveness of player roles.


    Aldridge was talking about the right road, right road, right road, and then, he remembered a person, although it is impossible to dig, but he can borrow it first.


    If you want to do it, Aldridge intends to visit the old Scottish man who was proud of last spring.


    Recently, the Millwall Club has gradually calmed down. This month has been a roller coaster for fans.


    First, the club took the team to the coaching staff, and then went to the first team for a big wash.


    Then, the news of the club¡¯s signings came one after another. Although for Millwall fans, only stars like Southgate were familiar with the signings, but it was enough to inspire. What is better than stealing the derby The opponent''s captain is even more crazy?


    Aldridge did a business that was fast enough to get him support from fans!


    This is similar to the star that later Frentino came to the stage to dig up the enemy.


    And some fans have roughly calculated the capital that Aldridge invested in the transfer this summer and got an amazing number: ¡ê12.6 million!


    This is an exciting number!


    How much did Manchester United invest in the summer transfer market last year? District 3.75 million.


    What about the year before last?


    1.1 million.


    Obviously arithmetic can¡¯t be done like this, because Aldridge is to overthrow the entire club and rebuild. The Premier League team transfers every summer as a supplementary lineup. It¡¯s rare to see a broken lineup that is only as big as Blackburn. Spreading money is a big deal, but it is also just introducing a few stars whose strength is confirmed.


    Aldridge''s investment this summer will have any results. At least the authors of the football column are not optimistic. Originally, Millwall was nobody''s attention, but Aldrich''s repeated moves have made people have to pay attention.


    Aldridge waited outside the club, intending to let Andrew lead him out of London, and Aldridge knew the way better than tourists.


    Soon, Andrew drove a luxury car to the front of the club and smiled at Aldridge: "Where do you want to go?"


    "Manchester, I want to visit Manchester United''s coach."


    Andrew looked surprised, shook his head after a moment of pondering, "It''s not easy, I''ll get someone to help you first."


    After he finished, he got out of the car, went to the club to make a call, and then took Aldridge to the train station in London.


    I bought three train tickets to Manchester at the train station. Although Aldridge was curious to whom the third train ticket was prepared, he did not ask.


    In the waiting room, Aldridge saw a man in a suit and leather shoes, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, but his hair was curly but not sloppy. He looked gentle and courteous, and came to Andrew and hugged with a smile , And then formally walked in front of Aldridge and smiled: "Jason Ferguson, fortunately, before I could always hear Andrew mention you, you are a legend of the Hall family."


    This compliment was too explicit. Aldrich reached out and shook his hand and smiled: "Audrich Hall, Jason, Ferguson, don¡¯t, oh, Mr. Ferguson is your father."


    Jason Ferguson nodded with a smile, and then extended his hand, the three of them were ready to board the train to Manchester.


    "I called the family just now, and my father just had time to see you."


    Aldridge smiled and thanked, and couldn''t help but think a lot after getting on the train.


    He didn''t expect Ferguson''s son to meet Andrew.


    But after careful recollection, he probably knew the reason.


    Jason Ferguson is Ferguson¡¯s favorite son. After the establishment of the Premier League, Jason worked on Sky Sports. However, in the football circle, he was just Ferguson¡¯s son. When he left the football circle, Jason was worthless. Compared to the Hall family who has real money, Andrew also has an independent brokerage company. In London, it is not surprising that Jason and Andrew know each other at the same age. It can even be imagined that Jason is the one who fought Andrew.


    Aldrich knows how this Jason Ferguson will come. Even the time and space that Aldridge has experienced, after the Manchester United Board of Directors was informed that Ferguson will sell Stam, Stam will turn. Meeting Lazio, which made the Manchester United Board angry and shocked, even Sir Bobby Charlton was dissatisfied with Ferguson, and behind this transfer, there was a figure of Jason Ferguson when he had left Sky TV joined a Manchester brokerage company. Although it caused a lot of trouble to Ferguson, it was subdued by the affection of Ferguson.

 Chapter 11： Lease and "rented"

    Arriving at Ferguson''s home in Cheshire, Aldridge met the legendary old Scottish man for the first time.


    The first impression is neither the majestic shores of the mountains and rivers, nor the majesty and grimness that seems to set off a stormy storm.


    The old Scottish man fell asleep in a garden lounge chair. Under the soft sunset, he was more like a man with a smile on his back after the armor was returned to the field.


    Ferguson, who was wearing a casual T-shirt in midsummer, was gently awakened by his wife Casey.


    Ferguson had already said that there would be guests at home, but in the garden waiting time, he slept a sweet afternoon.


    After waking up, Ferguson rubbed his eyes, then squinted at the visitor who was not far away. It seemed that he could not see clearly. He found his glasses on a side table and put them on.


    Casey brought the tea for hospitality and put it on the table, then left.


    Ferguson avoids talking about anything related to football at home. If it is not a guest brought by their beloved son, I am afraid that Ferguson will not choose to be at home even if he agrees to meet Aldridge.


    Aldrich believes that he is a very simple person. He does not have the different standards for people and people brought by the influence of the geographical, race, culture, religion and so on of the British. He can and is willing to be friends with everyone, which makes him in Anyone is very open and natural in front of him, and his etiquette, words and deeds are unpretentious.


    "Mr. Ferguson, hello."


    Aldridge greeted Ferguson with a smile on his face. Ferguson looked up at him, stared at him for a long time, then waved at Jason. It seemed that the next thing he talked about did not want outsiders to be present.


    When Ferguson talked to Odric, a club owner and head coach in the role of the manager of the Manchester United club, there are many things that cannot be heard by people outside the circle.


    Even if Jason is Ferguson''s son, in a strict sense, Jason is someone outside the football circle.


    This is closely related to the English tradition that has always been conservative. Football is actually a very small circle. Whether it is a passer-by or a treacherous mystery, no matter how small it is, it should be left in this circle and dust in history.


    Aldridge cast a wink at Andrew, motioning him to follow Jason away.


    Andrew politely greeted Ferguson. Ferguson nodded at him with a smile, and then watched the two young men walk into the room.


    Ferguson reached out and Aldridge sat down calmly, separated from Ferguson by a table with steaming tea.


    British people like to drink tea, which has almost become their tradition.


    Hundreds of years ago, it was the British nobles who fell in love with tea frantically, which caused China to cause a British trade deficit in international trade, which indirectly led to the subsequent Opium War. Then the British shamelessly stolen China tea. Technology and tea varieties have established large production areas in East India.


    Aldrich and Ferguson started chatting after drinking tea, basically Ferguson asked Aldrich what was going on.


    That is the action of Aldridge after taking over the club, Ferguson seems to want to understand the stranger who first met from a series of crazy movements of Aldridge.


    From the bottom of my heart, Ferguson hated Aldridge, and his first impression was not good.


    No head coach would want to suddenly learn at the press conference that the club has a new boss, and it was a half-way kill that caught everyone off guard.


    Forcing the first-team coaching staff to resign voluntarily, this is simply contempt for the rules.


    Ferguson is very curious about Aldridge. If only the first team that caused Millwall to fall apart in the past, I am afraid that Ferguson will only ridicule Aldridge with the people around him. As for his pro son as a middleman, Ferguson will also Directly refuse.


    But Millwall¡¯s move in the transfer market this month has been too surprising, and it is even a summer storm in English football. Although Ferguson has no interest in Millwall, he occasionally looks at the news. And found something that made him curious.


    Although Millwall¡¯s summer signings are dominated by young players, even the average age of all players may be less than 20 years old, but Ferguson, who sees Weizhi, has a keen insight into the fact that Aldridge¡¯s signings have really created A new team!


    Regardless of the player''s ability and fame, just looking at the position of the player, it really looks like a team.


    Although Ferguson couldn''t figure out the details, after all, there are many players on the field who are not sure about the position, because there are many players who are anonymous in English football. They are just like the people who pop out of the stone.


    After all, the information now is not as developed as it was ten years later, twenty years later.


    In the process of chatting with Ferguson, Aldridge neither pretended to be advanced, nor cautious. He said nothing and concealed nothing.


    He even confessed that he accidentally appeared at the press conference, just to embarrass the team coach and let the opponent actively submit his resignation.


    This is not to dismiss Mawei, nor to kill chickens and monkeys, but Aldridge wants to control the team and must make a comeback to build a team he can control.


    Talking and chatting, Ferguson at least let go of the prejudice when he did not meet with Aldridge. As the club owner, the other party must serve as the team''s head coach without the Thunder. It will indeed be difficult.


    It wasn''t until night that night was coming that Ferguson remembered to ask the purpose of the visit.


    After talking with the old man for more than an hour, Aldridge smiled bitterly to show his intention.


    "My lineup is a bit thin, so I want to loan players from Manchester United."


    Ferguson stared at Aldridge with a weird expression, and asked, "Why don''t you use buy, but borrow?"


    The subtext is too obvious.


    You have smashed more than ten million pounds. What else do you like, why don''t you smash money?


    Aldrich scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I have a lot of players, really, but I can''t afford them, and those players will definitely not come. Many of the people on my team are anonymous. Generations, famous players, are not the stars of the major leagues."


    Ferguson nodded, thinking in his heart that this young man was still sensible, not the kind of upstart who wields money and thinks everyone will be defeated.


    "Who are you all looking at? Maybe I can really sell it to you."


    Hearing this, Aldridge froze, then turned his head and looked at his eyes and squinted into a line. The old man, who was harmless to humans and animals, laughed bitterly: I am playing!


    "Okay, Neville Brothers, Scholes, Giggs, Beckham, Nicky Bart, just a few of them. You can ask for it, within five million pounds, I will accept it."


    It was just a joke, but Ferguson''s expression was solemn.


    The British transfer record is only 3.75 million pounds, but Aldridge is willing to pay 5 million pounds for these young people?


    "You mean to pack 5 million?"


    "They are not Chinese cabbage. Each player is 5 million pounds. If you are willing to let people go, I will also collect it if I smash the pot and sell the iron. Even if you can''t sell it to me at once, can one or two be? This is a new transfer. Recorded."


    After Aldridge finished speaking, a smile appeared on his face, and he stared at Ferguson¡¯s expression without blinking: the generals!


    Ferguson smashed his mouth, suddenly sighed: "Who are you going to rent?"


    Aldridge didn''t expect the old man to be so cunning, and directly changed the subject.


    "Beckham."


    After thinking about it, Ferguson asked, "Time to play?"


    "At least 20 games."


    "Rental fee?"


    "Millwall is responsible for the salary during the lease period.


    After a period of contemplation, Ferguson raised his head and said, "I will give you personally and give him 20 minutes of playing time, how?"


    Aldridge frowned. The old man was not only cunning, but also crawled up the pole.


    He helps his players level up for free, and the opponent directly treats him as a professional for free.


    "Who?"


    "Phil Neville."


    Although Gary Neville''s younger brother, like Beckham, was promoted to Manchester United''s first team this summer, but like Beckham''s fate, if he does not rent out this season, he must be on the bench.


    Phil Neville is a backcourt player and can play either at the full-back or at the midfielder. In the Aldridge lineup, the midfielder, especially the midfielder, has Makelele and Vieira, and 17-year-old Gato Suo, these are pure jade, need a lot of games to temper, even if the risk of losing, Aldridge would rather give them exercise to grow up.


    Aldrich said frankly: "Mr. Ferguson, for Phil Neville, I can only say that if Manchester United leases him to my team, Phil Neville will only appear in the full-back next year. Location."


    Aldrich did not know Ferguson¡¯s specific training plan for Phil Neville. He made his stand clear and let Ferguson decide.


    "Well, yes. It''s getting late, so let''s have dinner together."


    Ferguson got up and moved, and then asked Aldridge and Andrew to stay at home for a simple dinner.


    The next day, Millwall officially announced the end of the summer transfer and the team will prepare for the next season on July 21.

 Chapter 12： What the **** is there to be happy about?

    Before the 21st club training day, Aldridge received Jenson and his party from London to London in London. A total of 13 new coaches will join the Millwall club.


    Aldridge took this pedestrian to visit the club, and then established a new club coaching staff, two new youth team coaches, two reserve team coaches, 9 people remaining, Jenson is Aldridge¡¯s assistant coach, front line The team coach left four more people, and four others formed an intelligence gathering group.


    This group is dedicated to observing the opponents of the team¡¯s league, researching the opponents of the next game, including the status of the opponent¡¯s players, the pros and cons of the skills and tactics on the field, at least three days before the start of the game, Aldridge must receive such a report .


    After setting up the coaching staff, Aldridge came to a converted hotel not far from the team''s training ground, accompanied by Adam and other club staff.


    This hotel was bought in the name of the club. It will no longer be open to the public. The interior decoration is simple. The facilities required by Aldrich are all available. The team''s new medical department and restaurant are in the hotel.


    Even in 1994, it is difficult to imagine the neglect of medical treatment in English football. Many traditional and powerful club team doctors, or sports trainers, are mostly loyalty rewards given to employees by the club for working all year round.


    Even as a fan, who can imagine that a worker who manages turf will become the "team doctor" of the top team after he gets old?


    This is naturally related to the football club''s consistently conservative style.


    Later, Redknapp Jr., who played for the Red Army for ten years, was abandoned by the team, but he chose to go out for medical treatment because he could not stand the team''s "quack doctor". This behavior is "apostate" for the traditional English football club. Therefore, the heroes of the ten years were abandoned and left.


    Aldridge does not have the conservativeness of the English club in his heart, nor does he intend to integrate into the wrong tradition. He needs the most advanced and professional medical department to ensure the health of players worth millions and millions of pounds now and in the future!


    It is unreasonable to give players worth hundreds of millions of pounds to someone who is not even mediocre, but it is still a common phenomenon in English football.


    After visiting the hotel, Aldridge left Adam and planned to talk about the construction of the future team. Although everything was empty talk before the result, he needed to give Adam a reminder.


    "I saw the situation of the new stadium that has been put on hold. I have an idea. That stadium has not yet been formed. It is better to transform it into a new training base. The new stadium is looking for another place. And the construction scale must accommodate at least 50,000 people. , The surrounding area should be able to drive commercial development..."


    Aldrich¡¯s words made Adam unable to take it. In the end, he could only helplessly say to the young boss: ¡°Sir, I made a budget. To be honest, as of now we are not doing any unplanned construction to maintain the ball. The current operation of the team is up to two years. The current team funds can only maintain the team¡¯s operation for two years. Even if it is promoted to the Super League after two years, we still cannot operate. Of course, if the Hall family will have subsequent capital injections, Everything is another matter."


    After Audridge heard his thoughts, he was still anxious.


    The current salary level of the team is already the top team in the Premier League.


    Although the Premier League has the highest weekly salary of tens of thousands of pounds, but more players are only a few thousand pounds, most of them are even less than a thousand pounds. In general, Aldridge¡¯s first-team players, plus have not been sold With more than a dozen players left in the reserve team, the salary burden over the year is probably in the top ten in England, and Millwall''s ability to make money is certainly not one-tenth that of Manchester United.


    Relying only on selling tickets, I am afraid that the small stadium will not even have 3 million pounds of income in a year. As for the sales around football, the sales channel that can¡¯t even go out of East London, how much can you expect to make?


    TV broadcasts, game bonuses, which are pitiful in the League One.


    Therefore, Aldridge has only one way left.


    Not even like what he said to Barnett before. In three to five years, he has only one year. If he can¡¯t be promoted next season, he will not only lose Makelele, Thuram, Lal with zero return. Sen, top players like Nedvide, I am afraid that even the funds for the comeback are gone.


    Aldridge didn¡¯t talk to Adam about any future plans anymore, and it seemed to be a long way to go. Let¡¯s wait until next time this year.


    In recent days, Andrew has been very busy. He has left the Millwall club and worked intently as an agent. He signed a lot of players at a stretch. These are also new players of Millwall. As an agent, He already knows the responsibilities of this line, not only to extract players'' transfer income and salary commission, but also to provide players with legal obligations, financial management, life, and future planning.


    These players are not well-known in England. Even Southgate is only a standard capable player. Andrew and his staff are busy in East London. Fortunately, the Hall family invests here and some real estate It is very convenient to deal with business, install comfortable apartments for these new players, and provide translators for players who do not understand English. As long as the players have needs, even if they are call girls, Andrew will help arrange after the admonishment.


    With Andrew''s meticulous help, the young players who have made "big money" start to feel the benefits of the agent.


    The World Cup has just ended, but Larson did not return to the team according to the date after Audridge extended the holiday. On the 21st, the player admired by the young players appeared on the team''s training ground.


    Aldridge¡¯s team can be said to be newly formed, but no one feels lonely. The German players include Bout, Schneider, Barack, the Netherlands, Fanny and Larsen from the Dutch League. , Several young players in Italy will not feel lonely, only Nedved from Eastern Europe may be difficult to integrate into the team, but because he is already a member of the national team, plus being gentle, many players are around Beside him.


    Aldridge took the coaching staff towards the training ground. Like other coaches, he wore the club''s traditional dark blue sportswear.


    Andrew next to Aldridge is in a suit and leather shoes. He came here to complete some work procedures with Aldridge. There are several translators to be arranged into the coaching staff to help players who do not understand English in the team quickly integrate into the team environment.


    "Is the FA team going well?"


    "Well, Pavel is already a member of the national team, and he doesn¡¯t need to be a famous guest to be a lobbyist. He has submitted the materials plus 100,000 pounds. Everything is done. Rest assured, there is no trace left. As long as Pavel performs well, nobody Check the old case."


    Andrew whispered in Aldrich''s ear.


    Aldridge is relieved that Nedved does not have an EU passport, so he needs a labor certificate to transfer to England. Although he is a member of the national team, his appearance record obviously does not meet, but in fact that 75% of the appearance standards are not rigid, there are With a lot of flexibility, and now that English football is still filled with countless black gold, Aldridge submits materials to the FA, while allowing Andrew to operate from the side, it is a matter of course.


    If Nedved is a youth team player, even if there is more black gold, I am afraid that the transfer will be difficult, but after all, a member of the national team, the future is great, even if the Czechoslovak disintegration two years ago. But Aldridge believes that Andrew¡¯s 100,000 pounds of black gold has played a key role. The small temple of Millwall has a negative reputation for the entire English football, and there is no attraction in the game. .


    Naturally, no one cares about the introduced players.


    Before entering the training ground, Andrew explained a few sentences to several translators, and then waved goodbye to Audridge.


    Seeing Aldridge come with a group of people wearing coach shirts, the players on the training ground automatically stood in two rows, many of them were young players aged 17-18, full of hope for the future, but did not Yuncai''s enthusiasm, facing the young head coach and boss, each is respectful.


    A bit like a gang fight, Aldridge brought the coaches to the players, the coach behind him also fought in a row, Aldridge seemed to stand alone in front of him, he looked calm, the first time with the entire ball The team meets collectively and Audridge needs a fresh start.


    He looked like the head of the review troops. He walked from the left to the right of the two rows of players. After making eye contact with each calm-looking player, he nodded gently.


    After this lap, Aldridge came directly in front of the players and spoke softly.


    "Millwall has a 109-year history, and in this 109-year history.


    English Premier League Championship: Zero.


    English League Cup: Zero.


    England FA Cup: zero.


    And, have never participated in the three European Cup.


    Congratulations, you have come to a club with a hundred years of history but zero championships! "


    Aldridge''s words were very light and slow. Only the last sentence was said in a very solemn tone, and he deliberately used the simplest English to narrate, which allows players who have just learned English to understand.


    Of the 26 members of the first team, only Beckham and Phil Neville appeared absent-minded. They were loaned here for exercise, and they naturally looked down on this century-old club with no reputation and notoriety.


    But the other 24 players had different looks. The young players looked at each other, it seemed that they realized what kind of club Millwall was.


    Aldridge suddenly opened his hands solemnly and asked, "Aren''t you upset?"


    The players are stupid.


    What the **** is there to be happy about? !

 Chapter 13： You are all future Uranus superstars

    The expressions of the players are wonderful!


    Startled, suspicious, worried, dull, dazed...


    It seemed that all the players were clouded.


    What kind of congratulations can such a club with blank honors in the past hundred years come here? What''s so happy?


    Aldridge glanced at the players in front of him with a smile on his handsome face.


    He shrugged and said with a smile: "Actually, when I first took over this club, my expression was estimated to be similar to yours. I would like to question my family, why not buy the **** Manchester United? Not the King of Europe in England Liverpool? Why not let me stand on Highbury¡¯s turf? Why? Yeah, why? You, perhaps, think the same way, you should join Juventus, Real Madrid, AC Milan, or Roma Lazio. Ten minutes of soaking in the bath comfortably, I figured it out."


    Speaking of which, Aldridge paused. In front of him, even Beckham and Phil Neville, who had nothing to do with their own minds, stared at him intently.


    All 26 players want to know what Aldridge wants to understand.


    Aldridge put his smile down and said seriously: "If I were the head coach of Manchester United, Liverpool, or Arsenal, I think even if I won the championship in the Premier League next season, or won the European Championship, But, how about that? People still talk about the legendary Busby, people still remember the Red Army built by Shankly, and Chapman¡¯s contribution to leading Europe. Who is the latecomer who dares to shoulder his shoulders? When I became a champion coach , I can¡¯t be complacent, I can¡¯t show off, otherwise someone will pat my shoulder and laughed and said: Aldridge, what are you? When Manchester United rebuilt the dynasty from the Munich air crash, Pace rate led Liverpool to win nearly 20 championships in 9 years. The trophy, three times on the top of Europe, even if it is Arsenal, Graham is commendable in recent years, and Aldridge, your kid is proud of it! Ha ha, if we are in the giants, it will be so sad, we will never be able to Beyond the predecessors, our miracles, our glory, more or less scattered by the history of the past, so I want to congratulate you, came to a club without a crown for 100 years, this is me and you create miracles and belong to you The most suitable place for legend!"


    Looking at Aldridge, who raised his head and his spirit, the players looked at each other as if a hot flame had risen in everyone''s eyes.


    Who belongs to his own legend?


    Aldridge continued to say loudly, "Come to Millwall, this is your right choice. If I were a talented player like you, I wouldn¡¯t lick my face and beg to join the giants, what to do there? See people Looking sighed down? Sitting on a cold bench? At **** time teammates are already fighting and sliding down alone? Then at the end of the season like a clown watching the main player holding the championship trophy in the corner? Such a champion is coming What''s the point? The champion of alms, the champion who came over, Laozi is not rare! Laozi just wants to pick up the trophy by himself, and then show the medals to show off!"


    Hearing this, 26 players already have resonance, and many people can''t help but focus on their heads!


    Aldridge smiled suddenly, and his expression became relaxed. He paced in front of the player and said slowly: "The outside world is laughing at me for buying a circus for more than ten million pounds. Oh, I don¡¯t mind. Don¡¯t mind, because in the near future, your performance on the court will tell the world that you are the best players, no, star, superstar! Forget about Maradona, Platini, Matteus, Zico, Van Basten, in the next ten or twenty years, you are the protagonist of European football and world football! You are the Uranus superstar who is unknown to everyone! At that time, you must be a wealthy rich man, a fan The admired green heroes, even with enviable beauties, maybe more than one. Later, you will be a legend that people talk about. Of course, I may have a look, but I think, you two It should not be difficult for more than ten people to make at least a dozen of these. After all, the talents are out of nothing, and the rest are eliminated. They can only look back at the past decades, and they have unlimited remorse in the mirror, but don¡¯t blame God. Who makes this loser live up to the gift of God? The 99% of sweat can be done by perseverance, but there are too many people who are willing to work hard, but not your 1%. Talent, so if you finally fail to leave a glorious figure on the greenery due to slackness, that really makes people sigh, oh, no, there is nothing to sigh, people who give up themselves and don¡¯t want to enterprising, shit."


    These words surprised more than 20 players.


    They never imagined that Aldridge would support them like this. Perhaps players like Nedved and Larson in their twenties would not be fooled by Aldridge¡¯s brazen words, but other 17-year-old players, they But he is still a young player with a dream, naturally, he is very excited, can''t wait to start training now, and then kick the ball to the World Cup finals in one breath...


    "From now on, you call me Bos, Gareth."


    Aldridge just called Dowsgate, the other party immediately shouted: "Boss, what''s the matter?"


    Aldridge threw the captain''s armband from his pocket, and after Southgate froze for a moment, he only heard Aldridge say: "Gares is the team captain, Henrik."


    Larson asked suspiciously: "Boss?"


    Aldridge pointed to him and said, "Henrick is the deputy captain. Then, Pavel, you are the third captain."


    Nedved looked surprised, but nodded.


    Suddenly, Aldridge''s face became solemn again, and he said in a deep voice: "My requirements for the team are simple, first, discipline, second, unity. There are no privileged players on the team, there are no privileged players now, nor in the future, no matter Inside and outside the court, you can contact me if you encounter any difficulties. One thing you need to remember is that no matter what problems the team has, they can only be solved within the team. Playing football is your business, not only your technical skills, You still need your professionalism and ethics. Do you understand?"


    All players spoke in unison: "Understood!"


    Aldridge turned sideways, waved to the coaches behind him, and then introduced to the players: "Come and meet the coaching staff. This is Jenson Bernard, my assistant coach. These four are in turn. It¡¯s Babu, Craig, Tolop, Leo, the first team coach, other coaches, etc. You will know each other in different training projects, don¡¯t underestimate them because they look young, I can Let me tell you that they are from Ajax, where they have been coaches for four years or more, and they will train you to be the top star in the world. Don¡¯t doubt this."


    Hearing that these young coaches are all from Ajax, 26 players are awe-inspiring. In any case, Ajax''s training level is first-class in Europe.


    After the formal meeting ended, Aldridge ordered the team to start training. First, he jogged around the court to warm up. He stood by and watched the performance of the players.


    Under the leadership of the three captains, the other players did not dare to be lazy, and 26 people jog around the field in an orderly manner.


    The young Barak was like in the cloud, and whispered to his number one, Schneider, who was smaller than him, "Hey, I''m afraid I will never forget today in my life."


    Schneider frowned and said, "I don''t know that I have the talent to become a top star."


    He is already 21 years old and previously played for the German second team.


    For them, the first formal meeting with Aldridge on the training ground has become a segment in their memories that will never be erased.


    Aldrich naturally inspires them, but at the same time knows that a future will inevitably become a reality.


    England can''t keep these people!


    Even in the 1970s, since Tottenham won the UEFA Cup, Europe entered the era of English rule. Liverpool, Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa reached the top of Europe seven times, which is not counted as the other two big cup champions. , But in the five years after the Heysel massacre, English football suffered a heavy blow. Liverpool, who returned to the Champions League for the first time after the lifting of the ban in 1991, failed to pass even the qualifiers, plus Taylor¡¯s report made the English football club rebuild The reduction of the investment in the transfer market by the stadium has greatly reduced the competitiveness of England''s clubs.


    In the era when the English club missed the three major cups in Europe, Serie A came into being and gradually became the well-deserved first league in Europe. In this era when Serie A dominated Europa, it is precisely the time when Aldrich''s players have grown up. For many of their aspiring players, Serie A is the highest league in their hearts and minds, rather than the seemingly faltering England. Even the Premier League is not attractive enough.


    Like Nedved, if it weren¡¯t for him that he didn¡¯t have an EU passport and Italy¡¯s restrictions on non-European player transfers, he probably wouldn¡¯t even consider coming to Aldridge. Even if Aldridge had experienced time and space, Ned Vader still took the risk of going to court with fake passports to land in Serie A. For players of their time, Serie A is the highest stage for masters to gather.


    Aldridge stood on the sidelines, and Jenson teased him: "I didn''t know you were so confusing."


    Aldridge didn''t change his face and said: "I''m telling the truth, big truth!"


    After smiling, Jansen solemnly said: "Next season, it is not easy to handle. The Premier League announced that next season the Super League will only have 20 places. So in the following season, the Premier League will have four teams relegated, and we are in There are only two upgrade places in the British League One, which will be more intense than before."


    Thinking of this, Aldridge also felt a bit unlucky, it can be said that it was unlucky.


    The Premier League has been brewing to reduce the number of Premier League places since its establishment in 1992, from 22 teams to 20 teams, but his mother''s, but it was not last year, nor the next year, or the execution of the next season, Aldridge just caught up .


    This made the competition in the League of Legends very fierce next season. When Audrich roughly analyzed the competition situation next season yesterday, he found that there were really many competitors.


    Three teams relegated from the Premier League last season: Sheffield United, Oldham, Swindon.


    I''m afraid that Svenden''s awkward record in the Premier League last season will make this team difficult to compete in the Premier League. The other two teams should not be underestimated.


    In addition, there are not a lot of super powers in the First Division: Middlesbrough, Reading, Bolton, Wolves, Derbyshire, Watford and so on.


    And next season there are only two promotion places, it is not easy to break out of the encirclement.

 Chapter 14： Warm-up match

    Millwall¡¯s pre-season training kicked off. Aldridge was on the team¡¯s training ground almost every day, personally supervising the training of the players¡¯ various projects, and instilling tactical ideas into the players during the rest and relaxation, even he would Discussing each player''s position on the field and the development of technical characteristics separately, and he does not need to translate directly in the exchange. In the past eight years, he has learned the major languages ??used in Europe except for football training courses. , Although not proficient, but more than enough to communicate with the players.


    The young players here have extraordinary talents. Aldrich¡¯s instructions can only make them less detours, such as Vieira. At the age of 18, he also feels that he is a material for playing traditional centers. Makelele also actively entered. In the role of the full-back, etc.


    Aldrich was patient and used the results of the training process to verify the correctness of his player transformation, but maybe it was only his sincere diligence with the players every day that moved the players sincerely. In a short time, Aldrich Qi and the players have established a good relationship, which is a good foundation.


    In daily training, Aldridge will join a match that lasts only 15 minutes.


    15 minutes without a win or a penalty shootout.


    This makes many players "dissatisfied".


    At the end of each day''s matchup, the players would always ask Aldridge intently: to play for another half an hour? 20 minutes? 10 minutes is also good!


    Who can get hooked in 15 minutes?


    Even if it is an ordinary person playing football, has it been called in 15 minutes?


    This short game is to keep the players hungry for the game. If the training is exhausted and exhausted, then the excitement in the official game will be greatly reduced. Football training also needs to be suppressed first and then suppressed in the training. The player''s desire to play, and then let them be completely released on the green field, burst out!


    Therefore, the players asked for an extension of the confrontation. Aldridge always smiled and shook his head. Then he and other coaches picked up the football from all over the training ground and put it away. Although the club training field has dedicated workers, Aldridge As long as you have time, this kind of idle work will be taken care of, which makes the atmosphere inside the club harmonious.


    There are two or two weeks away from the opening of the English Premier League. During these two weeks, the club arranged three friendly matches to warm up against Birmingham, Oxford United and Pittsburgh United.


    These three teams were all dropped into the second division last season. Aldridge is looking for such a weak team to train his troops. Naturally, it is to build confidence for the boys.


    On a sunny Saturday afternoon, the stands at the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium were full, probably because the stadium was too small and had less than 20,000 people. The audience was naturally Millwall fans.


    On this field, Aldridge ushered in the first opponent of the friendly, Birmingham.


    Aldrich walked out of the tunnel with his coaching staff early and came to the coach seat of the home team to sit down.


    In a warm-up match, the tactical layout has been issued yesterday, and the appearance list has also been fixed, which can be regarded as the main candidate for Aldridge''s mind this season.


    Goalkeeper: Catherine Keller.


    Guards: Thuram, Stam, Southgate, Lucas Neal.


    Midfielders: Schneider, Makelele, Nedved, Piret.


    Forwards: Larson, Trezeguet.


    This list of appearances is more surprising when 17-year-old Trezeguet appeared on the starting list, not 21-year-old Solskjaer.


    There are six forwards in the team, the youngest is Trezeguet, the largest is Larson, and then Solskjaer and Kevin Phillips.


    Solskjaer was recognized by the coaches and players on the first day of the team''s training. He even laughed that the free signing forward was the next Hiller picked up by Millwall.


    But Aldridge can only make a choice for this kind of happy troubles. Solskjaer¡¯s technical characteristics and Larson overlap somewhat. In the field of England, Aldridge needs a person who can stand in the penalty area. The striker in the heels, originally Aldridge pinned his hopes on the king of the small penalty area, but Fanny''s feeling in training was somewhat disappointing to Aldridge. Many players need a "knowledge" time. It seems that Luca Tony and Van Nistelrooy are not conscious now.


    Trezeguet, who was only 17 years old but physically strong and courageous, showed great impact in training. It is probably related to his early entry into the professional league in Argentina.


    Aldridge sat on the coach seat and chatted casually with Jenson. Jenson met in Ajax and trained some stars. He said that Millwall is full of expectations, although he regretted that he was away from Ajax. The talents of the stars are still far away, such as Ovimas, Seedorf, Cruywitt and so on, who are now shining on the first team of Ajax.


    Aldrich heard Jenson¡¯s words and thought about it carefully.


    His team of stars, from a technical point of view, really can not be compared with the large number of shining stars in Ajax''s contemporary era. Ovimas'' technical and speed combined with a seamless wing performance, it is simply gorgeous.


    Aldridge shook his head and smiled bitterly, probably the football atmosphere and characteristics of the English League. He really avoided the kind of gorgeous skill-based players in his signing. What about master stars.


    However, in terms of the intensity of the physical collision, if you want to land in the Serie A, the body cost is not lower than that of England. The Italian concrete defense and intense collision are almost like steel impact, but England is slightly behind in technology and tactics. Rough, the most basic physical confrontation on the football field is fierce, all the same.


    Talking and chatting, Aldridge suddenly stood up from the coach''s seat, he suddenly found the strange atmosphere in the stands.


    In his memory, the stands of the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium are loud and full of human voices. Listen carefully. There will be a large number of profanity-song-song songs against the opponent. There has never been a moment of tranquility.


    But today, he found the stadium stands too calm.


    He stood on the sidelines and looked around the stadium for a lap, and found that the fans sat quietly in the stands. In addition to some fans holding up the new season''s commemorative scarf, which has the name of Aldrich on it, he expressed his support for the new head coach and boss. Fans still enjoy football, but in the past, fans were easily infected by the surrounding environment. In recent years, English football has been fighting football hooligans, at least in the Super League and the First League have received very good results, Millwall as a blow Focus on the team, the most active is only the extreme fan group like Bushwackers.


    Probably Aldridge stood up and appeared on the sidelines. The sparse applause rang from the stands, and then lasted for a long time.


    In the stands in the southeast of the stadium, Millwall¡¯s team song sounded: No one likes us, I don¡¯t care (Noonelikeus, wedon\''tcare)!


    Aldridge looked around the stands and sat back. He knew that most of the fans still supported him, but many of them were on the sidelines. After all, Aldridge directly destroyed their stable team lineup in recent years. .


    Soon, the players came out of the player channel. This was just an ordinary friendly game, not even a TV broadcast. The club''s ceremonial held a microphone next to the player channel to broadcast the list of players.


    Whenever a player''s name spread across the court, cheers and applause rang from the stands.


    They don''t care how old these players are and where they used to be. As long as they know they are wearing Millwall jerseys, they are desperate to win. This is enough. Support, support to death!


    Aldridge walked in courtesy and shook hands with Birmingham''s head coach, not much to talk about, even Aldridge was still secretly saying: It is best not to see him again in the future!


    Birmingham will play the second division next season. Unless it''s a cup, Aldridge certainly doesn''t want to see the other coach again.


    The game started very quickly, Aldridge sat on the coach seat and watched the game quietly.


    The other coaches also watched the game but showed anxious expressions.


    The average age of Millwall''s lineup is only in his early twenties, and the players opposite Birmingham are the old guys who have been on the battlefield. As soon as they come up, Birmingham has the advantage on the field, and the waves of simple long pass The hoisting created enormous pressure on the Millwall line of defense.


    After Birmingham''s offense, Millwall''s counterattack was not good, and turnovers were frequent. Even the technically delicate Schneider and Piret had low-level pass errors.


    The scene was very passive, and Jansen leaned into Aldridge''s ear and asked: "Whether to wake them up, they are too nervous."


    Aldridge didn¡¯t blink, he said lightly: "They haven''t entered the rhythm of the game. You see, in only fifteen minutes, Schneider gasped for breath. As soon as he got nervous and desperately sprinted, he almost made his brain lack. Oxygen, it¡¯s okay, let them find the feeling first, but it¡¯s just a friendly game, but our back line is very stable. This surprised me. It¡¯s a good thing to not miss the ball.¡±


    The combination of Stamgasosgate, Stam in the air defense, although occasionally a bit rushing to grab, but there is a midfielder who changed to play full-back Thuram and the defensive sense of Southgate to help him make up the position The dangers on the back line are just false alarms. With the addition of Makelele Ganedved in the middle, they are all top-notch and Aldridge has no reason to worry.


    The warm-up game is to let them restore the feeling of the game and get used to the rhythm of the game. In integrating the team''s offensive and defensive coordination, Audridge''s first priority is naturally defense. As long as the defense does not have tactical defects, he does not need to go to the sidelines to give players Pressure, otherwise may cause stable performance of Southgate, Thuram, Nedved and other players mistakenly think that the main coach is dissatisfied with them.

 Chapter 15： The young mad lion is about to set sail

    If Aldridge¡¯s team is playing in the Bernabeu, they will be shuddered by the fans, but at the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium, the team clearly does not have the advantage, but one relief, one fight, one collision, even if it is a foul , Will attract applause from Millwall fans.


    The English football hooligan is notorious, but it is undeniable that the enthusiasm of the fans here is unmatched in the world.


    Fans will not choose whether to applaud whether they are conservative or gorgeous on the team¡¯s play style, nor will they give up singing because of the team¡¯s backwardness. For them, life, even the loyalty of the family for generations, will only offer For a club, whether it is at the bottom or at the peak, and these fans who sing "No one likes us, it doesn''t matter!" are even more so.


    The first half of the game was not good-looking or even dull, but Millwall fans watched with interest and cheered.


    The four players Makelele, Thuram, Stam and Nedved are quickly remembered by the fans, and even the fans in the stands are asking each other for their names.


    The reason is very simple. This kind of tough guy who defends fiercely and violently collides with opponent players is the most appreciated representative of fans!


    British people believe that football is the sport of the men, all they need is blood, all they need is fierce, all they need is desperate!


    If any players fear confrontation or fight, then the fans will be completely disappointed.


    At the end of the first half, Aldridge took the lead back to the player channel, the score was 0:0, although Millwall was not exhausted in the first half, because their defense was not embarrassed, but lack of effective and smooth offense, Especially under the tactical arrangement of Aldridge, it is forbidden to blindly make big feet and long passes except for the central defender.


    Although it was a warm-up match, Birmingham clearly wanted to build confidence by defeating a League One team, especially the team that ranked third last season, so that they could return with an ambitious fighting spirit in the coming year League One.


    But they were disappointed to find that Millwall''s back line was a group of fierce men!


    Even if left-back Lucas Neal is only 17 years old, but he is also a fierce and desperate guy. This is no way. Lucas naturally wants to become famous. The main position of the left back is temporarily he and Zambro. Tower competition, of course, he has to work hard to show some performance.


    As for the tower-like Stam, the fierce Thuram and the defensive awareness of Makelele, plus desperately San Nedved, Birmingham seemed to be offensive in the first half. In fact, the chance to threaten the ball is zero.


    Aldrich was in the locker room until the players came back to sit and rest. He calmly said: "The first half performed well. I don''t have a high demand for the warm-up game. You just need to be a training match, but I repeat. , To remember my tactical requirements, focus on the defense first, Lucas, you pay attention in the second half, reduce fouls in the dangerous area, you are still young, you need to accumulate defensive experience, do not worry about losing your position, plus Lace will help you to make up for the position, but you must chase back after losing the position."


    Lucas Neal heard the name of the head coach, he felt a sudden lurch, fearing that he would be replaced, and he nodded fiercely to understand after hearing Aldridge''s instructions.


    In terms of tactics, Aldridge needs nothing to change. This team only worked together for ten days. He couldn¡¯t let them condense higher fighting power and form a tacit understanding. Now the requirements for the team are very simple. That is to stand still, everyone completes their own defensive tasks in their own active area. On the basis of defensive stability, the players will naturally stabilize their mentality and then be able to play better.


    If they were given more tasks at the beginning, it was defense, offensive, pass and cut, etc., not to mention players, Aldridge felt that this would make the team chaotic.


    Now is the time to shape the shape of this team, it is enough to lay the foundation first.


    Midfielders encouraged the players to do something. Aldridge clapped hands to let the players go out to start the second half of the game, trying not to bear any pressure.


    After the second half started, Aldridge was still sitting on the coach''s seat, but just turned around and said to Jenson: "Let Richards, Materazzi, Zambrotta, Vieira, Barak, Solskjaer warm up , 60 minutes into the game to replace them, oh, Zambrotta replaced Thuram, let Lucas stay on the field, Solskjaer replaced Nelson, Henrik did not get enough rest before the season."


    Jenson nodded, turned around and named the players on the bench one by one, and then saw a group of young players rushing out and seriously started the warm-up activity.


    The situation on the field is still dull, but the more the Birmingham fights, the more Millwall¡¯s defense is. Hang.


    Aldridge saw the football rushing up and down on the field, and was overjoyed.


    He really needs an opponent to train the team''s air defense capabilities through this traditional bombing bombardment, which is an essential part of defense.


    Five minutes later, Aldridge replaced a large number of substitute players and then he shook hands with every player who was off the court, patting them on the shoulder with a compliment.


    And Schneider and Piley who stayed on the court were not as nervous as they were in the first half. They were able to control the ball very well. From a technical point of view, they were the best players on the court. Ned and Pire frequently threatened the two sides, and the landing points were good in several crosses. If Trezeguet had not entered the state, otherwise he would have broken the door.


    Before the end of the game, Solskjaer shot a long shot from the opponent''s defensive player in front of the penalty area and unfortunately hit the goal post to pop the bottom line.


    When the final whistle sounded, the score was still 0:0.


    This is actually boring for a friendly match. Millwall, as the third place in last season¡¯s Premier League, failed to defeat Birmingham, the third-last place in last season¡¯s home league. It is logically disappointing. Especially when the scene is not dominant, but the fans not only did not boo, but applauded after the game, and then calmly left in an orderly manner.


    In the next two warm-up games, Millwall¡¯s performance was not only stable, but also getting better and better. Aldridge was pleased to find that these players were really big scene characters, and they all had a calm temperament of young teenagers. The performance is stable and outstanding.


    The second scene was against Oxford United. At the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium, Larson took a header from Schneider''s cross in the second half and gave Millwall a victory. Although it was only a 1-0 win, Aldridge What''s more satisfying is that the team''s back line did not give opponents a chance.


    In the final warm-up match against Oxford United, the team played a hearty counterattack on the basis of defense. Trezeguet and Solskjaer who came off the bench both scored goals, plus in the corner kick With a goal scored by Southgate, Millwall finally won 3-0.


    In three warm-up games, Aldridge¡¯s basic goal of training was achieved, that is, defense. The three games did not lose the ball, and there were few opportunities for opponents. Although the opponents are not strong, they can build confidence in the team. This intangible harvest is even more valuable.


    In three days, the 94/95 Premier League will kick off, and the first round of the Millwall League will usher in the challenge of the Allianz League at home.


    After training this afternoon, Aldridge called the players together and put them on the home uniform of the official game.


    On the courtside, a training staff brought a chair and placed it on the training ground. Aldrich called the first team coaches to the side. They sat on an orderly chair, and the players stood behind them according to their height. Formed into two rows, into an orderly fan shape.


    Under the setting sun, Aldridge sat in the middle of the front row with a mild expression and a smile, and the coaches around him were all relaxed expressions, but the players behind were all serious, and in front of them, Adam Greet the photographer to capture the best angle and take the best scene with light.


    After Millwall''s first team "Family Portrait" in the 94/95 season, Aldridge changed into a suit and leather dress, and then removed the chair. He stood in front of the player with his hands in his pockets and looked like a Like the young leader of the gang, the photographer stood on the chair this time, photographing the cool first-team players and their head coach with a slight overhead view.


    After the photos were washed out, Aldridge asked the staff to post the family portrait in the hallway of the club, and then the other handsome and cool photo of the first team and head coach was enlarged as part of the club''s promotion.


    When Millwall fans looked forward to the new season, they unexpectedly discovered that the new season lineup was posted outside the club. Every fan who saw it couldn''t help but sigh: This is really a young team.


    From the head coach to the player, Millwall has been refreshed in less than three months, although he still does not know what the future will look like, at least it looks vibrant now.

 Chapter 16： Leave something together

    The British media is probably the most unreliable in all of Europe and even the world. In order to attract attention, you can falsify the news and permeate personal privacy.


    What is the position of football in Britain? What is the most popular sport in the UK?


    The first is football.


    The second is football.


    The third is football.


    Therefore, football and the media are closely integrated. It can also be said that the media can create a brilliant team, such as the Manchester United dynasty of the Busby Boys, which happened to be the time when football broadcast into the United Kingdom. Laying a broad fan base, and assuming an era dominated by other teams, I am afraid that English football will be another scene today.


    Aldrich knows the influence of the media, and intellectually knows that he must use the help of the media to promote Millwall, so first of all, he needs visibility.


    On the day before the opening of the Premier League, Millwall officially held a press conference. Aldridge hoped to give the team a chance to appear before the new season, making the team a little special, just to increase Reputation.


    But at the press conference, Aldridge smiled bitterly.


    Several major newspapers in the United Kingdom, "The Times", "Guardian", "Daily Telegraph", "Independent News", etc. did not send reporters.


    There are no well-known professional sports newspapers in the UK, and most of them are comprehensive newspapers with sports sections. Therefore, it is not that anything happening in the football world will attract attention. Only eye-catching news will make paparazzi rush.


    By the way, Millwall''s first team, these paparazzi are not interested, except for a Southgate from the "treason" from the Crystal Palace, which is worth a big book, and it has been hype for more than a week, and it has been out of anger .


    Aldridge had turned the Millwall club upside down before, and also appeared in the news of the big newspapers, especially in the transfer phase. But after the time passed, no one would care about Aldridge unless he did something more. Intentional things.


    At the press conference, there were only about ten media reporters, and they looked just like Aldridge. They were very young, and they could not get news from other places. So they came to Millwall to try their luck.


    Aldrich asked specifically. Although the reporters from the Sun, The Mirror, and the Daily Mail were sitting under the stage, they were all interns. They sat like a good baby. There, in the end, other peers asked Aldrich in an experienced way.


    "What is Millwall''s goal for next season? You invested more than 10 million pounds in the transfer market, the English club that spent the most money all summer."


    Aldridge said seriously: "We are a young team. Many players still need to practice in the game to grow. The goal for next season is very practical. Stay in the Premier League."


    The few reporters on the stage looked at each other, and the person who asked the question asked in surprise: "Millwall spent more than ten million pounds just to relegate? If so, why did he sell so many main forces before? They achieved the third place in the Ligue 1 last season."


    "It''s very simple, because the previous team didn''t have the potential for growth. That team can relegate to the Premier League every year, but my current team can be relegated this year, will be more mature next year, and may be able to impact the Premier League the following year. After that, I think that at that time, my team will also be very competitive in the Premier League. After three years, the average age of this team will not exceed 24 years old."


    Aldridge said with a smile on his face.


    In fact, he hoped that more media would come to the scene, and then publicize his "relegation goal" and spread it to the ears of the Premier League competitors, showing weakness and paralyzing the opponent.


    The reporters on the stage were more interested in the downturn. Millwall made a sensation in the summer transfer market. As a result, their coach now just wants to relegate. This is not as attractive as news. At best, Bo Jun can smile.


    This bleak news conference made reporters sympathize with Aldridge, so someone said enthusiastically: "Please talk about Ole Solskjaer, David Trezeguet, Henrik ¡¤Larsen three forwards."


    Aldrich asked these reporters one by one, and he was not bored. In the end, these reporters no longer asked anything about the Millwall Club, but were more interested in Aldridge.


    How to say Aldridge is also legendary as a rich child.


    Footprint all over Europe, determined to be a football coach, young and handsome, handsome...


    Aldrich has a question and answer, and can even talk and laugh with these intern reporters. As for the article to be seen tomorrow, Aldridge does not care at all. He needs fame, and his fame will also have an effect on Millwall. As long as it¡¯s not a matter of splashing dirty water and wasting Audridge¡¯s time to hire a lawyer to sue, the other catches the wind and writes some speculatively implied false news.


    Sure enough, in the news published in these tabloids the following day, Aldridge was given a large page that introduced him with more personal information than the Millwall Club, except that it was a project that used football clubs as toys. playboy¡­¡­


    At 3 pm on August 12th, the Lion''s Cave Stadium was full, and the small stadium was filled with Millwall''s team song.


    Millwall, who is fighting at home, is ready in the locker room.


    The locker room tactical board is blank. Aldridge is wearing a simple and chic suit. The shirt is unbuttoned. He put his hands in his pockets and looked at the ambitious players. Instructions.


    But after coming to the locker room this afternoon, Aldridge did not talk about any topics related to the game, but only asked the players'' physical condition.


    "How to play on the field, I have said it countless times during training. Now, I don¡¯t want to say more, that is meaningless, as long as you play the level in your training, implement tactical requirements, maintain the concentration and fighting spirit of the game, this Enough. But before the game starts, I want to say something."


    Aldridge glanced at each player''s face and said with a deep voice: "I believe in you. Someone put a knife around my neck. I also believe in you. Ask me a hundred times and I will answer a hundred times: you It¡¯s the best! But, like me, you have nothing like this club with a history of more than 100 years! Step out of this room and step onto the field, you will start your journey here, I hope you can I face the next time with the same mood. I must, must leave something here, don¡¯t come in obscurity, leave in obscurity, write your name for victory for Millwall, for yourself. In your dictionary, let your figure be forever imprinted in the history of this great sport of football. I believe in you, and firmly believe that you are the best, although you still have a lot of room for improvement, as long as we Keep going, I believe that we will defeat all the roadblockers that prevent us from ascending to Europe and the top of the world, let us work together to realize this dream. Come on!"


    After Aldridge finished speaking, he turned and opened the locker room door. When he went to the stadium, behind him, the young guys shouted in unison: "Come on!"


    Millwall players started to walk out of the locker room like a lion, and Aldridge came to the end of the player¡¯s passage. Here, the referee team of this game has already stood in front, the visiting team repairs Allianz players also stood in a team ready to play.


    The players of Xiu''an Allianz firmly locked their eyes on Aldridge.


    They were curious about the skill of this young rich kid. Many people showed a contemptuous sneer on their faces, and they seemed to have foreseen the confusion of Aldridge''s failure.


    Aldridge stood at the exit of the passageway and suddenly stopped, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath.


    The passage of time seemed to become slow, and the subtle sound seemed to be elongated, and it was clearly introduced into his ears.


    Huh, dong.


    He could feel his heavy but unhurried breathing, a strong and slowly beating heart, and then, the rock and roll rhythm of the team song gradually came into his ears, he closed his eyes, but he seemed to be in the stands, Millwall fans They held their scarf high and sang songs in unison...


    Aldridge exhaled long, pressing down the tension in his heart, a feeling he had never experienced, as if he had an invisible weight on his shoulder that made him breathless.


    He knew what it would be to meet him after walking out of this passage, and it was a real professional arena, and the support of the fans in the stands also made him unable to help himself.


    Opening his eyes revealing a confident and calm expression, Aldridge strode out of the player''s channel. Under the bright sunshine, the passionate noise in Aldrich''s ears became clearer.


    The disguised tenseness made him miss the action.


    Under the watch of the audience, Aldridge appeared on the side of the court, and then, in the eyes of everyone, he walked to the coach of the visiting team...


    After taking three steps, Aldridge saw a group of coaches and players he didn''t know sitting on the coach seat, and then realized that he was going in the wrong direction.


    However, he didn''t turn around and walked away. He went to the visiting coach who was whispering with his assistant in front of the coach: Peter Dawson.


    Aldrich intends to cover up his mistakes by saying "hello to the other coach to show respect".


    But it seems that things are not going in the direction he expected...

 Chapter 17： You guys are shit!

    Xiu''an United ranked in the middle of last season''s Premier League. The team has no stars. It can be said that they can stay in the Premier League. The main reason is that their team of "blue-collar fighters" cooperate with them all year round. The offense and defense are not balanced. In the league, the games that are lost are almost the same, and the games that are won are also taken down, with an average of 1.5 goals per game.


    And their head coach Peter Dawson is the coach after the team retires.


    I can''t see any outstanding characteristics from this team, it can be regarded as a role to spend time with the prince reading.


    As an opponent of the opener, Peter still has some investigations and understanding of Millwall. From Millwall¡¯s large investment in pound sterling in the summer to the introduction of Aldridge in the tabloid yesterday, Peter was most impressed by the sentence: Mill Wall''s young boss only hopes that the team can stay in the Premier League after investing heavily in the summer.


    Peter feels that Aldridge is a self-knowledge guy who knows that he should be a pragmatic first in the Premier League, but he despises this kind of non-English football orthodox coach.


    Although Aldridge has a coaching qualification certificate, it is not strictly trained in the English football field. In addition, he has not played before, which in the view of other coaches is typical of laymen.


    Peter and his assistant talked casually about the team''s signing goal. It was more than half a month before the transfer window closed. Xiu''an United tried to rent some players who could not play the game with big teams. Xiu''an was not a big ball. Yes, the players on the team are all long-term players. Their strength is average, just like the lives of the poor: three years old and three years old.


    The annual transfer period is when such a small team "sews up".


    When Peter saw his assistant shut his mouth and did not speak, he looked behind him with a weird expression. Peter, who was tall and quite in line with the image of a typical British middle-aged man, frowned and turned back. When he saw the suit and leather dress, he looked like a stock broker. Delic.


    With a soft smile on his face, Aldrich extended his right hand and said softly: "Hello..."


    Before he greeted him, he was interrupted by Peter.


    "Who the **** are you doing? What are you doing?"


    Of course Peter knew that the person in front of him was Millwall''s head coach, but he just wanted to give this young guy who had no football at all a chance.


    Aldridge was slightly stunned. He didn''t expect the other person''s temper to be so bad, and he slammed up when he came up.


    Reminiscing that Peter and his assistant were talking, Aldridge thought he had been misunderstood to eavesdrop, so he kept smiling and said, "My name is Aldridge, it is Millwall..."


    While saying this, Aldridge''s right hand extended still stopped in front of Peter, but he was interrupted mercilessly again.


    Peter frowned and pointedly pointed at the home coach''s seat. "I know who you are. Now you can go back to your coach seat and stay there. Don''t bother me. Do you **** understand football? I think it''s open." What about the party? Girly came over and talked up? Idiot!"


    Aldridge''s expression froze. At this moment, he could see the players and coaches of Xiu''an Allianz in the guest team sitting on the chair and showed a joke look.


    The stands at the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium also fell silent. Fans watched Aldridge ascending to the visiting coach¡¯s bench and reaching out to the opposing coach, and then his right hand was always in front of him. The opposing coach had no intention of shaking hands. And he said aloud to Aldridge.


    what happened?


    Aldridge recovered in less than two seconds. Instead of retracting his right hand, he lifted his right finger to Peter¡¯s nose and responded loudly with a disdainful tone.


    "Who the **** do you think you are? Lao Tzu is here to say hello to you. If it''s not the first game in the league, Lao Tzu doesn''t care which hot dungeon you are in! That shit! You are shit! And your team is shit! Fuck shit!"


    Aldridge knew he couldn''t turn around and return to the coach''s coach seat. In that case, he would be finished, not only would the opponent''s arrogance rise, even Millwall fans would despise him as the coach.


    Peter obviously didn''t expect that the hairy kid in front of him would dare to point at his nose and scold the mother. After a moment of surprise, he looked like a furious beast and rushed towards Aldridge. Fortunately, he was hugged by the helpless assistant behind him.


    When I saw Peter wanting to do it, Aldridge was also struggling with his sleeves to dry up. His heart was rather helpless: I came to say hello, let''s just say a few words. Why humiliate me?


    Whether Peter is out of Qiu Fu or jealous of Aldridge''s handsome looks, or is set up with an old coach, one inexplicable conflict is on the way.


    Aldridge just reprimanded the Allianz coach and team as shit, the lion¡¯s court is small, and the fans in the stands behind the coach seat heard it clearly.


    At this time, when I saw Aldridge''s sleeves going up to break the punch, without taking a step back, the aggressive look could excite Millwall fans.


    "Shit! You guys are shit!"


    The fans behind the coaches waved their arms and scolded at Xiu''an Allianz, making Aldridge''s voice grow stronger.


    Aldridge didn''t want to do anything at all, but now he was in a difficult position to ride a tiger. Fortunately, Jenson rushed from the home coach''s seat and several coaches to hug Aldridge and opened the distance between him and Peter.


    The head coaches of both teams don''t seem to be gentlemen. Peter and Aldridge are held by their respective people, and they both scold each other with their teeth open.


    "Boy, you **** come, I''ll beat you to death!"


    "Idiot! You shit, you''re dirty with my hands!"


    Peter exploded and said without thinking: "We are shit, if you lose, it proves that you are not even shit!"


    Aldridge was stunned!


    Even the fans in the stands stopped screaming. They looked at each other, and everyone was reminiscing about the meaning of the coach of the Allianz League.


    Suddenly, Aldridge stopped pulling away from Jenson and started to sort out his suit with a big laugh. He said loudly, "Someone really admits that he is shit? Hahahaha, it seems that it''s not just stinky shit, but it''s not Shit in the brain!"


    Hahahahaha...


    The fans in the stands laughed back and forth, Peter trembling, an old face suffocated red, as if it would explode at any time.


    Aldridge saw the referees of the referee team trotting towards this side. He quickly organized his suit, waved a wave of cheers at the fans in the stands, and headed toward the coach of the home team.


    Behind him, Peter was still chattering, the referee came up to ask about the incident and warned Peter Dawson, and Aldridge had walked to the turf in front of the coach of the home team.


    "Did you deliberately just now? Provoking the opposing coach?"


    Both Jenson and the other coaches were confused. They were the first time they saw the two head coaches meet for the first time and the game almost caused a conflict before the game started.


    Aldridge whispered calmly: "I just went in the wrong direction, the one over there didn''t give me face lessons, I can only follow him, but it''s straight, I think this game will be very interesting."


    Jenson smiled bitterly and returned to the coach seat to sit down and whisper with other coaches. The members of the coaching staff stared at Aldridge''s back with surprise eyes.


    At this time, the referee trot to Aldridge to warn Aldridge not to provoke opponents again. Aldridge nodded indifferently, then glanced lightly at the visiting team''s bench and found that Peter Dawson was still glaring at him. .


    Aldridge''s lips moved slightly, as if to himself.


    Although Peter could not hear what Aldridge said, the contempt was written on his face, his lips moved a few times, and it was easy to be interpreted.


    "Fuck shit!"


    Peter was so angry that he couldn''t rush to give Aldridge two punches.


    When the players of the two teams came out of the player''s channel in an orderly manner, the head coaches of both the host and the guest stood on the sidelines, Aldridge opened his suit jacket and put his hands in his pockets, and his face was expressionless. The captain of Allianz called to the front, and he told me that he didn''t know what he had told him. In short, he looked at his vicious expression as if he wanted to eat people.


    The referee whistled and the game began.


    Aldridge saw the players of the Allianz League from the first minute of the game as if they were playing hormones bravely, and suddenly showed a faint smile.


    In fact, he thanked Peter in his heart. With the previous farce, his nervous heart calmed down completely. Now, he has the confidence to win the first game!

 Chapter 18： Let me cut the sword

    The Lion Cave Stadium echoed the endless cheering of Millwall fans for a long time, and the game showed a one-sided situation after the start.


    Xiu''an''s offensive wave was higher than the wave, most of the time football was flying in the second half of Millwall.


    Peter waved his arms on the sidelines and continued to give the players commands to attack.


    Aldridge stood still on the sidelines with his hands in his hands and pockets, no anxiety on his face.


    At least the situation on the court in his eyes was not as disparate as the strength and weakness presented.


    Xiu''an United is playing a traditional 442 formation. The offense is launched from the midfield and backcourt. The full-back or midfielder always has a long pass to lift the ball to the court to find their forward.


    This is the most common tactic in English football. It happens that Aldridge uses this tactic now.


    Many people criticize England for its 442 tactical backwardness, but Aldridge doesn''t think so.


    Because the player is not dead, it is not the position that does not move after playing, and at both ends of the offense and defense, 442 can derive a lot of changes, and the tactical adjustability is very strong.


    For example, one forward and one trailing midfielder, 442 becomes a large diamond midfielder, the two side defenders shrink, and they can become a small diamond midfielder, making the corridor for the defender assists, the forward retreats, the side Before the avant-garde burst, it can become 4231 or 4141, 433, etc., it can be said that the 442 formation has many changes.


    If you determine the tactics of a team''s entire game from the starting lineup, this is superficial. Italian football is famous for its tactics. The formation changes of a game through tactical adjustment are sometimes more than three or even four, different tactics. The formation is constantly switched according to the situation on the court, which is one of the charms of football tactics.


    "Hoo, that kid is really good!"


    "I know, I know, his name is Claude Makelele! I used to play in France!"


    "Makelele! Makelele!"


    Suddenly there was a wave of cheers in the stands, and fanatic fans shouted Makelele''s name, which surprised Makelele on the court.


    Xiu''an coach Peter yelled anxiously from the sidelines.


    His team seems to be on the offensive, but whenever the team plays in the backcourt or on the wing to find a forward, their double forwards use their bodies to block Southgate or Stam, seeing the ball fall in front of him. But just after the ball hits the ground, it will always be snatched away from the side by a flurry of figure.


    A few times down, Xiu''an''s forward started to retreat. Even after turning the ball around, there was an expressionless Millwall player who made the center of gravity down: Makelele.


    The Xiu''an United striker who tried to break through was only able to catch the football with a step and then was intercepted precisely by Makelele. Because of this, the fans in the stands cheered Makelele in just ten minutes!


    This black guy''s defense looks pretty pleasing!


    Aldridge is not surprised by this. Modern football pays attention to offense. People will always talk about beautiful and gorgeous football, but on the defensive end, Makelele is the kind of top star who can destruct football into an alternative aesthetic.


    His figure is not high, less than 175cm, and there is no visually striking muscle. His appearance is only four words: his appearance is not good.


    But the strength of such an unknown character on the defensive end is shocking. His defensive consciousness, anticipation, accurate interception, speed of grabbing, position awareness, defensive area, etc., without exaggeration, are masters. At the peak, Makelele is a star that can make the team''s defensive end qualitative change, and the counterattack on the spot after his successful defense will always bring surprises.


    Such Makelele and even Real Madrid¡¯s Casillas recalled the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship: If you must leave a person on that team and always be my teammate, I don¡¯t want Zidane, nor Figo doesn''t even need Ronaldo, I just want Makelele.


    It is with Marklele on the court that Xiu''an''s offensive will always find the striker without a hit. The striker will be snatched by Marklele with his back, and the ball will be destroyed by Marklele at the moment of turning back. There is no chance of breakthrough!


    So Xiu''an began to try to take the ball from the sidelines and hang into the penalty area to find the striker''s head, trying to knock the Millwall''s door with a header bomb.


    Now that Stam is not mature enough, his biggest shortcoming is the rush to get upset, but after the barrier of Makelele ahead, Stam will never face an opponent striker who dribble the ball from the front. Reassuring physical confrontation with the opponent''s forward, and then when the high ball fell from the air, struggling to jump out of the football.


    After a long attack, the coach of Xiu''an United started to be a little anxious. Although the team strength is average, Peter''s coaching experience can be regarded as very rich. One of the most common characteristics of football games is: long-term attack will always lose !


    Xiu''an United in an away game must not lose the ball first!


    On the field, Allianz once again tried a wing-up. Their right-side forward rushed into the goal penalty area of ??Millwall before Lucas Neal posted the ball to force the ball to watch the trajectory of the football. The landing point is very good, it is near the penalty spot, it is a position that is very conducive to the forward sprinting and jumping to the top.


    The two strikers of Xiu''an United did indeed rush towards the football landing point. The fans in the stands held their breaths and watched this attack nervously.


    "call¡­¡­"


    Millwall fans exhaled with a long breath, Southgate grabbed the soccer goal, pushed the ball out of the penalty area, and fell right at Makelele''s feet.


    Applause rang out from the stands, and the fans who applauded didn''t expect it. Just before their applause stopped, Millwall completed a counterattack.


    Makelele turned around after taking the ball. The opponent''s center-forward came forward and tried to grab the ball under his feet, but Makelele calmly made a swaying fake and then divided the ball to the left. At the foot of Lucas Neal.


    Lucas did not dribble after taking the ball, but passed diagonally to Nedved near the middle circle.


    Peter watched Millwall''s offense so clean, without any trace of muddy water, his heart tightened and shouted on the sidelines to let the players concentrate!


    Nedvide took the ball in the midfield and took a few steps. Before the opponent''s defensive player posted it, he passed the ball to Robert Pire who was from the left to the middle.


    Pire cut from the side to the outside corner of the opponent''s big penalty area. After receiving the ball, Pire hesitated slightly.


    He still remembers the tactical requirements of Aldridge in the training yesterday: thirty minutes before the first half, the two wingers and the striker tried to withdraw the ball as much as possible. The striker had a chance to shoot after taking the ball. The avant-garde also tried a long shot after receiving the ball from the middle!


    Despite his hard work during the training, Aldridge put forward a lot of training requirements that are helpful to the players, but Pire is deeply puzzled by Aldridge''s tactical arrangements.


    His position is a full-back, but Aldridge does not allow him to break through the bottom pass, and even prohibits him from dribbling to break through. On the other side, Schneider also requests the same. For the two players with excellent foot skills, this seems to be Unable to exert their strength.


    Piret''s hesitation flashed through his heart.


    Anyway, just arrived on the team, does the young head coach have the ability, let''s listen to his arrangement for the time being.


    Even if the performance is not good, Pire doesn''t think it''s his problem, it''s because the coach didn''t use him well.


    At the top of the arc outside the penalty area, Pires shot a long shot with his right foot.


    But he was playing at a positive angle and was easily held in the arms by the other goalkeeper.


    A sigh came from the stands, then applause rang.


    Xiu''an United coach Peter was shocked, such a long shot, already had four feet in the 20 minutes before the game, Larson and Trezeguet completed a three-foot, Pire completed a foot, or played too positive , Or missed the goal, the overall threat to Xiu''an is not high.


    Aldridge didn''t feel frustrated, but applauded on the sidelines and nodded to appreciate the players'' performance.


    Seeing this scene, Peter was disdainful: Does this kid think football is an archery match?


    However, such an unscrupulous long-range shot by the opponent, it is impossible to ensure that the **** luck will hit the world wave, so Peter ordered the players: expand the defense area! Don''t give the opponent a long shot!


    After Peter''s adjustment, Millwall''s offensive was definitely blocked in the next time, especially Schneider''s right road, he was close to the middle of the road, and he hit the opponent with two long-range shots. The full-back has no threat to the opponent''s goal.


    Peter found that his adjustment had been effective, and glanced sneerly at Aldridge, who still had his hands in his pockets.


    Aldridge didn¡¯t regret Schneider¡¯s long-range shot. Even at that time, the opponent''s full-back defender gave Schneider a chance to go down the sideline, but Schneider did not do that. This is also Audrey Strangely requested.


    In the early days of the team, overall defense is crucial. Every player is part of the defensive system. If Aldridge lets players unscrupulously release the offense, then the defense will inevitably be out of touch. Once the full-backs pass the bottom, they will be counterattacked by the opponent. The corresponding wing will reveal a large area. Before the overall defensive awareness and tacit understanding take shape, the first thing Aldridge needs to shape is the team''s overall defensive distance. Players in each position cannot lose contact with teammates in nearby positions.


    Thirty minutes after the game, Aldridge looked down at the watch, then took the opportunity of a dead ball to make a gesture into the field to confirm that Nedved, Pire, Schneider and both forwards were watching When they arrived, they realized that it was time to change according to the tactics deployed before the game.


    After doing this, Aldridge turned his head and glanced at Peter, who had calmed down from the restlessness, and said: Let me open the sword to sacrifice the flag.

 Chapter 19： Applause cheer, come more violently!

    The Xiu''an United held up as high as ever, but their forwards were obviously somewhat discouraged. They couldn''t get a cheap header in front of the tall Stam, and they were always stolen by Makelele, plus Southgate''s stable Performance, the other two strikers of the opponent kicked the more discouraged, more and more lost in Millwall restricted area.


    The offensive player on the left side was once again preparing to pass a high ball into the penalty area, but he chose to cross the bottom, but unfortunately Thuram broke his foot in the breakthrough, this player fell directly on the turf, the football remained Thumam''s feet behind him.


    Peter shouted excitedly at the court: "WTF! That was an obvious foul! Fuck foul!"


    But the head referee on the field didn''t say anything, and he didn''t even bother to beckon to let the players of Xiu''an United stand up. The fans in the stands applauded and yelled excitedly.


    Thuram did not dribble after the ball was intercepted, and directly passed the ball to the foot of Makelele, who was closest to him. After Makelele received the ball, he also divided the ball before the opponent''s forward retreated and personally harassed.


    Nedv¨§d received the ball in the middle circle, followed by a long pass to divide the ball to the left of Lupire.


    Pires is still approaching from the side to the middle, and five meters away, Xiu''an''s defensive player is ready to post to steal or interfere with his long shot.


    Pire was calm. Not long ago, the head coach gestured on the sidelines and the game also passed thirty minutes. At this time, his role has changed.


    Odric¡¯s tactical arrangement was clearly echoed in his mind yesterday: the first thirty minutes of long-range shooting will make the opponent¡¯s defensive player oppressed from the penalty area. If the game situation does indeed develop like this, after the full-back approaches the center, the two forwards Always ready to counter offside, Robert, you and Bernd put the ball straight into the penalty area!


    Pire only observed the position of the Xiu''an United Line and was surprised to find: It really made Aldrich right!


    The opponent''s line of defense has left the penalty area precisely to reduce Millwall''s long-range threat. At the same time, behind the defender, a large amount of space is left.


    Pire didn''t hesitate. He hit the ball straight and kicked the ball into the area behind the opponent''s centre-back and full-back.


    The speed of this foot is not fast, but it is very accurate. At the same time as Pire''s pass, Larson turned from the front of his defender to sprint!


    The defenders of Xiu''an United have been used to the long shots of Millwall''s offensive players in the first 30 minutes. I didn''t expect this time, the opponent will be behind him, and what their defender did not expect is: Larsen is fast Surprising!


    The central defender reacted and went back to chase, but the distance from Larson was getting bigger and bigger, and he didn''t even give him the chance to reach out!


    Larson succeeded in anti-offside and went to the meeting alone!


    The fans couldn''t help standing up, focusing on Larson''s figure.


    Aldridge watched this attack on the sidelines, his heartbeat could not help but accelerated, and even his hands began to tremble. His calm look swept away, replaced by desperate hope.


    Kick in, kick in, kick in!


    Kick me the **** ball!


    Aldrich shouted inwardly, but his throat seemed to be dry. He could not say anything, and he could only breathe heavily with his mouth slightly open.


    The goalkeeper of Xiu''an United didn''t expect Millwall to have a long shot in the first half, but now he suddenly faced a single-handed ball.


    The goalkeeper didn''t attack, stayed in front of the goal line and slowly pushed forward to expand the defensive area, trying to reduce Larson''s shooting angle.


    Larsson caught up with the ball when he first entered the penalty area. He did not stop the ball, did not hesitate, adjusted his step along the direction of the ball rolling, and then gently used the right foot to lighten the ball on the left side of the ball. Rub it!


    The goalkeeper of Xiu''an United has achieved the most basic performance of a goalkeeper facing a single-handed ball. He blocked the near corner of the goal and his body rushed to the right. However, he turned his head unwillingly and looked behind him after rushing out , Desperate eyes still expect the ball not to roll into the goal.


    However, the ball shot by Larson crossed a light curve not very large. The ball entered the goal from the far corner of the goal. After a few turns on the net, it stopped and stopped quietly at the goal. Inside!


    The Lion''s Cave Stadium instantly boils!


    Fans in the stands raised their arms and jumped and jumped, laughing and cheering like a child. After scoring, Larson ran along the bottom line to the corner of the corner flag. Wherever he passed, a wave of people in the nearby stands was set off!


    Millwall players ran to Larson and cheered with him to celebrate. They headed to the stands and were surprised to find that many fans in the stands held a sign holding their names written in different national languages ??to express their support.


    Millwall fans, who are famous for their football wandering, became instantly cute in their eyes.


    It was just the first game, but a lot of fans knew them, knew their nationality, and used their native language to convey their inner support, which made them feel warm here quickly.


    On the sidelines, Aldridge jumped up excitedly after witnessing the goal. He waved his fists in front of him. After he turned, Jenson and other coaches also left their seats and came together with Aldridge. , They laughed, they bounced around, celebrating Millwall¡¯s first official game goal of the season, and also the first official game goal after Aldridge took over the team!


    After the excitement, Aldridge returned to the court again. He applauded and encouraged the players, and then made a gesture of pressing down with both hands to keep the players awake.


    In the end, he shouted into the court with his hands in the shape of a trumpet: "How to kick and continue to kick!"


    With this goal, the players on the court have begun to make a formal change to Audridge in their hearts.


    The 18-year-old head coach on the sidelines was not only a strict teacher who supervised them during training, but also a good friend who guided exchanges, but also a coach who allowed them to score goals and win!


    Peter blushed and chattered thickly at the assistant referee. He always firmly believed that Thuram''s stealing of the ball attacked by Allianz was a foul. If the referee made a penalty, there would be no subsequent counterattack.


    After calming down his emotions, Aldridge put his hands back in his trousers pockets and recalled the beautiful goal just now. He admired Larson in his heart.


    The Swedish striker''s shooting skills are astounding, especially because he is a striker who can score goals from the head and kick, and the shooting technique under his feet has never been known for strength, but calmness and dexterity when shooting, often in the penalty area. There is no extra action, the shot power is not great, but the angle is extremely tricky, and it is extremely pleasing.


    The goal just now was a typical example. He gently rubbed the far corner of the shot from the inside of the penalty area. Even if the goalkeeper flew in the right direction, I might not be able to reach the ball. The trajectory of the slow speed ball in the air seems to be Shining with elegant colors.


    After Xiu''an lost the ball, the whole team showed a frustrated look.


    Perhaps in their view, more than thirty minutes before the game, Millwall is no threat except for a few long shots outside the restricted area, and they can repeatedly let the football fly over the opponent''s half or even the restricted area, but the ball is lost. But they are the dominant party.


    This caused the team to take a big hit, Peter on the sidelines angrily shouted the players to launch a more violent attack.


    After being reminded by Aldridge, the Millwall players did not get overwhelmed and continued to play their previous solid defensive posture.


    The Xiu''an offensive has not achieved results. Still, it has not organized an attack that threatens Millwall''s goal. Instead, Millwall''s offensive is becoming more and more vivid.


    At the end of the first half, Millwall''s attack was closer to the opponent''s penalty area, and David Trezeguet started prematurely in the counterattack because of his eagerness. I am afraid he will also get a single-handed shot.


    In the first half of the injury stoppage time, Pire shot a goal from outside the penalty area and was saved by the opposing goalkeeper. Millwall scored a corner.


    The corner kicker is Schneider, who is a good player in this generation of German players. Schneider''s cross and positioning technology is outstanding.


    Millwall''s positioning ball tactics were designed by Audridge in the past half a month of training, because there are too many outstanding players in the team.


    The two forwards, Larson and Trezeguet, not only have excellent headers, but also have a very sensitive sense of sniffing opportunities in the chaos of the penalty area, and Nedvide in the midfield is also a good header. Central defender Stam and Southgate, and Thuram, who came from the centre-back, are naturally heading.


    Makelele and Lucas Neal stayed near the middle of the corner to prevent each other from counter-attacks, while Pire was cruising around the penalty area and outside.


    Southgate stood in front of the opponent¡¯s goalkeeper to form oppression, Larson and Stam eagerly tried in the small penalty area, Thuram interfered with the defensive line of sight at the front point, and Trezeguet stood softly in the middle. The defensive player beside him squeezed him, he moved a step, no intention of confrontation.


    Schneider stood next to the corner flag and raised his hand to stretch out a fist. Seeing his gesture, Millwall''s attacking players in the penalty area all understood, and then Schneider made a corner kick.


    At the moment when the football flew out of the corner flag, Millwall¡¯s offensive players pressed the middle without exception, which made the Xiu''an players who defended them follow them conditionedly, the pile of players in the penalty area. They moved a little or two steps towards the far post, and there was a player who ran out of the crowd and quickly detoured from the periphery of the crowd to grab the front point of the near post!


    The corner kick was very fast, but not very high. After a little over the head of the defender of Xiu''an United, he started to fall. The landing point is the goal post area!


    There, a bald player wearing dark blue jerseys and white shorts slammed the ball in a swooping pose against the falling football!


    Less than two meters away from the goal, the ball was redirected by the header and flew directly into the gate of Xiu''an United. The opponent''s goalkeeper fell into the goal without even making a save!


    The Lion''s Cave Stadium is boiling again.


    The player who climbed from the ground was the young David Trezeguet!


    He had been staring at the goal of Xiu''anlian after he dived his header. When he saw the ball enter, he immediately got up from the ground, pointing at Schneider who took the corner with a smile of surprise. Ned hugged him, and Pires rushed up to jump directly on Trezeguet''s shoulders, cheering with the fans who wanted to cross over from the stands.


    Seeing this goal, Aldridge was even more pleasantly surprised, because it was not long before the injury stoppage time in the first half. He even thought about training the team at halftime, but did not expect Trezeguet. Also scored in the first show!


    Listening to the tsunami-like cheers inside the stadium, Audrich waved his arms up as he should, and signaled the fans to cheer a little louder.


    Jenson looked at Aldridge''s movements with tears and laughs. When they wanted to come, this young coach should be cautious and trembling, but Aldridge in front of him seemed to have no slight pressure.


    Aldrich knows that the team is very young, the players on the field need to cheer, need to be affirmed, recognized, which is essential for their growth.


    Therefore, he mobilized the atmosphere of the scene.


    Applause, warmer!


    Cheers, louder!

 Chapter 20： Send them to hell

    For this first league match, the Millwall coaching team had some communication before the game, and the goal for the whole game was not high: not to lose.


    And Aldridge''s expectation for the team is to keep the draw in the first half, and then observe whether Xiu''an will attack impatiently in the second half, thus giving Millwall a chance to counterattack and succeed.


    Unexpectedly, at the end of the first half, Millwall has achieved a two-ball lead, which makes Odridge particularly happy, but he is most satisfied with the team''s performance on the defensive end.


    Before entering the locker room, Aldridge greeted each player on the sidelines, patted their shoulders and then walked into the player''s channel last.


    When Peter whistled at the halftime, he went black and walked towards the visiting team''s locker room. His players were discouraged when they walked off the court.


    The fans in the stands easily talked to each other, and the emotions caused by the turbulence of the club before the season had disappeared. From the performance of the pre-season warm-up game to the 45 minutes of the official game now, Aldridge''s team has gradually won the favor of the fans. .


    The home team''s locker room, the players'' faces were filled with joy, and they did not feel tired. They had been on the defensive in the first half. They performed well, but instead the fierce offensive Xiu''an United players were exhausted and exhausted. After losing two goals, the blow was too great.


    Before entering the locker room, Aldridge suddenly heard the sound of the visiting team¡¯s locker room. The lion¡¯s court was small and simple, and the soundproofing effect of the locker room was not good. Although he could not hear clearly, he knew that someone in the room was furious.


    Aldridge smiled heartily, and then brewed a ecstatic look to open the door of the home team''s dressing room. After pushing the door, Aldridge looked at the players with a smile.


    The team members who sat down and rested in the locker room saw Aldridge standing at the door and did not close the door. They stayed there as if happy, and they stared at Aldridge intently.


    Aldrich pointed to his ear and whispered: "Listen carefully."


    The players kept quiet and raised their ears to start listening. Faintly, they could hear the roar from the visiting team''s locker room.


    Then every player seemed to be infected by Aldridge, and a smile of understanding appeared on his face.


    Aldridge gently closed the locker room door like a thief, which made the coaches of the coaching staff endure.


    Jenson frowned, trying to remind Aldridge not to be smug.


    But Aldridge''s next words made Jansen White worried.


    I saw Aldridge smile with open arms: "You guys performed perfectly in the first half! See what your opponents have done? They didn''t even have a shot on the front goal! Just now I saw their players come off, face The expression on the face is like the end of the world, fuck! You are the devil in the opponent''s heart! So, in the second half, we want to let them cry home! Who started to sympathize with them, ready to release water in the second half?"


    The players were shocked, shaking their heads involuntarily after looking at each other.


    Drain?


    joke!


    Aldrich haha ??said with a smile: "Yes! We want to let them go to hell! We must continue to turn them over in the second half! However, tactically, we need some changes to accelerate their death!"


    The players cheered up and watched Aldridge as he came to the tactical board. He picked up the pen and drew the opponent''s back line on the court pattern, and then used the number to indicate the position of the Millwall player.


    Aldridge said in a deep voice: "The defensive side did a good job in the first half, and we must make persistent efforts in the second half. My request is simple. Since we did not concede a goal in the first half, there is no reason for them to steal any goal in the second half. But, Bernd, Robert, you two listen well."


    Piray and Schneider stared straight up at Aldridge with their chests raised.


    I saw Aldridge painted a large area on the left and right wings. This area is the frontcourt sidewalk and the position near the middle road. It does not include the area where the opponent''s penalty area extends to the sideline.


    "The opponent will fight back in the second half and will invest more offensive players than in the first half. Robert, you and Bernd can move closer to the center. In the offense, Pavel is responsible for the ball, from the left and the right. It¡¯s up to him to decide, and after you receive the ball, your passing path is like this."


    Aldridge draws a large arc from the left and right sides on the tactical board, which is his trajectory to indicate the flight of the ball.


    "In the first half, Henrik received Robert''s straight through record from the counter-offside. The second half will definitely learn from the lesson and beware of our same-side straight plug. If you still play like the first half, it will be difficult, so , Robert and Bernd, your pass in the second half is to pass the ball diagonally from the center and the full back of the opponent to the far side of the other side. Our forward has a clear advantage, that is, speed, David, Henrik, I hope to see your cooperation in the running position in the second half, so when such an opportunity arises, you come to a cross running position so that you can take away the defensive players instead of competing with the defensive players in a straight line Speed, try to be a smart player, not just rely on talent to play football, can you do it?"


    The two strikers who scored in the first half nodded solemnly, Aldridge clapped his hands with satisfaction, and then urged a few defensive issues, such as Nedved as much as possible to pay attention to the left defense, through In the 45-minute half of the game, Peter must be able to see that even a fool, Millwall¡¯s left defense is weaker than the right. After all, it is the young Lucas Neal who guards the left, not the black on the right. Block Thuram.


    In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought.


    Aldridge continued to stand on the sidelines and put his hands in the pockets after the players came on the court, while Peter on the other side looked dull and silent.


    At this moment, Aldridge no longer wanted to have any conflicts with Peter, and he was not interested in provocative speech. On the contrary, he wandered around the world and put himself in Peter''s position, expecting the two to be in a reverse situation, what should he do ?


    What if an opponent coach challenges him before the game?


    Or is it his team?


    How should he cope?


    Aldrich has at least learned a lesson from Peter. In any case, he cannot lose his calmness, nor can he impose personal emotions in the team''s tactics.


    Just when Aldridge lost his mind, there was a cry of exclamation in the stands that made him recover.


    boom!


    The goal beam on the side of the court made a loud noise, and even Aldridge could hear the trembling aftertaste.


    I saw the ball hit Millwall''s goal beam and flew out!


    Millwall nearly conceded the ball at the beginning of the second half!


    Aldrich secretly blamed himself for his cranky thoughts. He knew that in fact he was a little relaxed. After all, the 2-0 first half game made him feel that the winning ticket was in hand. The complacency before this game should be taken as a warning. He naturally knew it, but the emotion of pride grew uncontrollably from the heart.


    Fortunately, the danger just sounded the alarm for him.


    Aldridge turned back to beckon to Jenson. Jenson just relieved and walked to Aldridge, thinking he was going to be replaced, but unexpectedly heard Aldridge whispering and asked, "What happened just now?"


    "What''s going on?"


    "The ball just now."


    "Don''t you just stand here? Didn''t you see?"


    "I was thinking about substitutions just now, not paying attention."


    Jenson reluctantly described the situation just now to Aldridge.


    After speaking, he returned to the coach seat and sat down.


    Aldridge couldn''t help but glanced at Peter Dawson, who was not far away, the other side was covering his face and regretting the ball just hitting the beam.


    The old guy has two brushes!


    Peter decisively adjusted Millwall''s offense. Although it was still dominated by long passes and directly threatened from the high ball into the penalty area, it obviously increased the offensive players, allowing the forwards and midfielders to take turns and enter the penalty area to fight for the top. Break the door.


    Just now the left forward lifted a high ball and hung into the penalty area. The strikers were stared to death by Stam and Southgate. The midfielder in the forward penalty area was also closely guarded by Makelele. Only the right forward was freed after the penalty area. Lucas Neal''s defense almost headered without any interference, but he was unlucky and hit the crossbar.


    After learning about this situation, Aldridge observed the situation on the court again, did not make any changes, and did not shout to the players, because Nedved had retreated very deep to help Lucas defend.


    Ten minutes after the Xiu''an United attack, in addition to the header that initially hit the crossbar, Millwall''s self-adjusting defense quickly became watertight again.


    At this time, Makelele cut off the opponent''s transformation offensive and attempted a straight pass from the ground, then a one-point pass to Schneider who withdrew the ball on the right.


    When he took the ball and turned around, he found that there was a large unmanned area in the midfield. Xiu''an had a lot of attacking players in the frontcourt. Only the remaining midfielder also pulled back to increase the defensive manpower.


    Schneider made a diagonal kick to kick the ball towards the left side of the middle circle. Nedved, who took part in the offense just after defense, ran into the position and easily took the ball. There was a player from Xiu''an Allied behind Going up, Nedved didn''t get entangled and passed the ball directly to Pires in front.


    Millwall fought back, three and five!


    Larson is on the left and Trezeguet is on the right. Both of them have Xiu''an defenders closely following them, but they are a little far from the penalty area.


    The two strikers understood the situation and started running. They did not run straight towards the penalty area. Larson moved forward to the right and Trezeguet moved forward to the left, like two sharp knives swapping diagonally into the enemy''s ribs!


    The Xiu''an United defender guarding the two men was overwhelmed. Especially Trezeguet''s running direction was the area where Piret could go straight. There was no one there. The full-back was already prepared to interfere with Piret''s dribbling.


    The two central defenders hesitated to exchange their defensive goals after hesitation, but the speed was obviously one step behind.


    Pire kicked a right-handed close-kick with his left foot before the opponent''s full-back came up to defend himself.


    The ball passed through the gap between the side guard and center defender of Xiu''an United, and quickly rolled to the back of the penalty area.


    The Allianz defenders didn''t expect Trezeguet to be a guise before running, but after the penalty area, Larson was chasing the collision with the football in front of him. Behind him, the central defender wanted to fly from behind Shoveling, but he was keenly aware that he had stepped into the penalty area, so he could only watch Larson get farther and farther away from him.


    Just as the ball glides past the top of the small penalty area, a dark blue figure glides on the ground and kicks the ball towards the corner of the goal with a shovel shot!


    Xiu''an United goalkeeper lowered his focus, but after Larson shoveled, he threw his hands and then spread his palms helplessly. When he reacted, the football had flew into a tricky corner, which was to roll against the goal post. Door.


    Millwall 3: Allianz League!

 Chapter 21： Red card! Cunning guy!

    Larson''s debut at Millwall is undoubtedly wonderful!


    After scoring the second goal, the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium was boiling, and they applauded Larson. The nearest stand on the side of the stadium, the fans rushed down and seemed to want to rush to the court and bury Larsen to celebrate on the sidelines. In the crowd, fortunately, the middle of the security arrangements arranged for the adult wall to block them.


    Amidst the cheers, Aldridge turned back to the happy Jensen, "Did you see it?"


    Jensen smiled excitedly: "Of course! He is unparalleled, and his ability to seize the opportunity is too powerful!"


    Aldridge grinned with a sunny smile, then turned around and applauded and clapped his hands to the court, and then greeted the boys to make persistent efforts.


    In the first round of the league, the game was just 60 minutes, but Millwall had already led 3:0, the players on the field were greatly encouraged, and at the same time looking at the calm Audridge on the sidelines, all his eyes changed.


    Different tactics worked in the first and second half!


    This is pleasing enough.


    Peter Dawson was discouraged at this moment and had lost three goals. In less than thirty minutes, he knew his team had no chance.


    He waved his hands to allow the team to recover some, to maintain a balanced offensive and defensive, to avoid being hit more counterattack and lost the ball.


    Peter was still a little bit dissatisfied. Two of the three lost **** were counterattacked by the opponent and the other was a set ball.


    At this time, Peter also saw that Millwall''s two forwards were not as fast. At least after the all-round repair of Allianz turned to a slow central defender, giving them space to start and a sprint distance, it is equivalent to giving the opponent a single-handed ball. .


    This is only the first round of the league game. Peter is afraid that the team will lose the ball and be beaten, which will cast a shadow on the entire season.


    At this time, he comforted himself: lost, that is, lost 3 points, no big deal.


    If you lose the ball and then lose the morale and spirit, then this season is really not easy.


    With three goals in hand, the opponent''s offensive also weakened, and Aldridge''s tense nerves finally relaxed.


    He looked at the time, the game had come to 70 minutes, he turned back to the bench and shouted: "Patrick, warm up in five minutes."


    The young players on the bench cast their eyes on Vieira unanimously. I saw that the taller Vieira immediately put on a vest and ran out excitedly to warm up. Other players were slightly disappointed.


    The next five minutes of the game were unsettled. After Vieira''s warm-up, Aldridge had applied for a substitution, and then called him in front of Vieira, and whispered against his shoulder. : "Did you see how Pavel played in the previous 75 minutes?"


    Vieira nodded, and after he came to Millwall, Aldridge developed a training plan specifically for him.


    From the position, Vieira and Makelele are in conflict, but from the active area, Makelele is more longitudinal, that is, sweeping in the midfield and backcourt, and Vieira is more lateral. He has the ability to organize an attack forward, but this is all for the mature Vieira.


    Seeing him nod, Aldridge continued: "You tell Pavel after playing, let him step forward, move in the midfield area, you take his place, you know? In your position, the point of attack when attacking Do you still remember?"


    Vieira nodded again, then moved and jumped in place. At this time, a boundary ball was suspended and the assistant referee hit the substitution number.


    David Trezeguet, who played for Millwall for the first time, was replaced.


    He performed well today, although there are not many chances to touch the ball, but a long shot and running position, and scored a goal, this is commendable.


    So, when he was off the court, Millwall fans applauded him heartily, Aldridge greeted him on the sidelines, and then pointed to Trezeguet on the stands, the meaning was obvious: this is our hero!


    Trezeguet looked flattered and embarrassedly walked back to the bench to celebrate with every teammate''s high-five.


    Aldridge was just struggling for Trezeguet to win more support. As a result, when he just turned around, there was a whistle on the field. Aldridge looked at the referee inexplicably. A red card was shown, and the object of the red card was even more unexpected for Audridge.


    The player who was shown the red card was wronged and innocent, and he kept explaining to the referee. At his feet, a player from the Allianz League fell to the ground, covering his legs and moaning painfully.


    Aldridge looked at the player with the red card in shock.


    It was the player he had just replaced in less than a minute: Vieira!


    Aldrich really found that the head coach''s perspective on the sidelines may be more comprehensive than the TV broadcast perspective, but the wonderful shots may not be all in the eyes.


    In the end what happened?


    He hadn''t had time to ask Jensen, but Peter, who was not far away, was about to rush over and was stopped by the fourth official.


    "What are your players doing? What the **** are you doing? Murder? Grass!"


    Aldrich turned a deaf ear and waited until he communicated with Jenson before he realized what had happened.


    After Vieira came on the court, Xiu''an made a boundary kick, and then hit a wall on Vieira''s side to pass one by two. Vieira was probably nervous, or was afraid that this performance was too bad, in order not to Putting the opponent closer to the penalty area, he directly put the shovel, not only did he not shovel the ball, but also kicked on the leg of the Xiu''an Allianz player, but he was not a malicious foul, so the Xiu''an player''s injury was not serious .


    After Aldrich understood, Vieira had been comfortably accompanied by captain Southgate to the sidelines. His face was aggrieved and annoyed. He bowed his head and dared not look at anyone. Obviously his mood fell to the bottom.


    Aldridge greeted him and said softly to him: "Patrick, don''t care, you are still young, you are not perfect in life, it is normal to make mistakes, this is what you must experience to become a top star, don''t be discouraged, otherwise you will Despise."


    Vieira looked up at Aldridge with a complex expression, and did not see any blame from Aldridge. His tone was not a lesson. Instead, he gave him a smile.


    He was in a slightly better mood and nodded and walked into the player tunnel.


    Aldridge looked at the field after returning to the sidelines. Without mentioning it, Nedved returned to his original midfield position.


    Originally the team led by three goals, Aldridge wanted to allow Nedved to release some of the talent of the forward attack, but now one less player, everything is back to the original point.


    Without extra reminders of his own, Aldridge turned back and waved at Babu on the coach''s bench.


    Babu roughly guessed the reason why Aldridge called him, and asked: "Patrick?"


    Aldrich nodded and said to him: "You comfort him, don''t let him down, don''t let him give up the idea of ??changing to midfield, this blame me, and he is too anxious to train him."


    Babu was in charge of Vieira''s training in the first team. He solemnly agreed, and then turned his head into the player''s channel to find Vieira.


    Aldrich didn''t get angry because of Vieira''s foul and got a red card, instead he blamed himself.


    This was originally a very young team, but he was still growing, and it was really a stupid junior mistake.


    There were 11 players on the field. Except Lucas Neal, who was 17 years old, accumulated experience in the youth team and the reserve team last year. The other players have professional experience, even if they are under 18 years old. Guy also has one or two years of league experience in Argentina.


    But Vieira only entered the first team of AS Cannes last year, and the position is not a defensive midfielder, came to Millwall, in a new position, learn new defensive skills, cultivate defensive awareness, etc. In fact, he is only a Blank paper, Aldridge hastily pushed him into the Premier League, and he was excusable for leaving the foul.


    Thinking of players like Barak, Gattuso and others without professional league experience, Aldridge knew that after this game, he was afraid to re-make a season plan to make these young people more cautious and safe. Players grow.


    Perhaps it was Millwall who was sent off, and Xiu''an Allied launched another violent attack in the remaining time.


    Such a development of the situation, Aldridge also understands that if one more person is still alive, he can hardly make sense.


    But before the game ended, Millwall''s defensive system was still steadily without conceding a goal. Xiu''an didn''t have a player with particularly good personal skills. Relying on the overall offense, he also seemed to have broken the goal. As the result came to an end, their city gate again Declare lost.


    Piley made a pass from Larsson''s back pass in the penalty area to make a volley on the right foot of the ball. The ball penetrated into the upper right corner of the Xiu''anlian goal like a shell.


    4:0.


    In the first round of the 94/95 English First Division match, Millwall cleanly and conceded four goals.


    After the game, Aldridge did not shake hands with Peter, and the other side did not mean that. Both coaches quickly disappeared on the sidelines.


    In an interview through the mixed zone, Aldridge did not mention the conflict with Peter before the game. In the face of a big victory, he only said low-key that the players played unexpectedly well, and the opponent Xiu Allian was a very good player. Tenacious team...


    Aldridge hardly praised his team, but he was very generous with Xiu''an.


    After he left, the reporters suddenly realized that this product actually praised its team in disguise.


    Take the opponent to heaven and lose to his team by four goals!


    Aldridge, the cunning guy!

 Chapter 22： Taboo lose

    After winning the league''s start, Aldridge did not mention Peter Dawson after the game. In his heart, even if he was a proud and complacent guy, he was not interested in using Peter Dawson as a stepping stone.


    In the first round of battle, Millwall unexpectedly occupied the top position in the league, followed closely by Sheffield United, Oldham, Middlesbrough and other strong teams with super strength.


    Aldridge took a day off for the players. He returned home and worked late into the night. The next day he came to the hotel where the club trained to discuss the plans for the growth of young players with the entire coaching staff.


    They first listed the schedule of the three echelons in the conference room.


    Jenson pointed to the projection on the big screen and said: "Before the arrival of FIFA match day in mid-September, we have seven games in the Ligue 1 against Sunderland, Derbyshire, Bolton, Reading, West Brown, Burnley, and Tranmere, two of which are in the middle of the week, require players to play a double match in a week, and there will be the first round of the League Cup in the next week. If it passes smoothly, then in In the middle of the last week of August, we have to face the second round of the League Cup."


    Aldridge looked at the first team''s schedule on the big screen projection and fell into contemplation.


    Visiting Sunderland at the weekend will not be too difficult, because today''s black cat Sunderland does not have the ability to rush, last season in the League One is only ranked middle, and the same grade team as Xiu''an United, this summer , Sunderland also did not force the signing, the team''s strength is not high or low, just watch the live play.


    But the next series of games is a test against Millwall.


    Last season in the upgrade play-offs 5:1 hit Derbyshire Millwall.


    Summer introduced many experienced veteran Bolton who tried to surpass.


    Redding and West Brom, who had been promoted to the first division last season, although the strength does not seem to be strong, but in the past season, they are familiar with the winning team. Xiao Xiao.


    In the period before the FIFA match day, Aldridge must ensure that the team is stable from the mentality. It is difficult to win or not be defeated and discouraged. Such training is not only relying on the coach¡¯s mouth. Say.


    He thought about it and said: "The League Cup is handed over to the bench. The starting lineup of the first team will only deal with the league this season, unless we can reach the final in the cup, but I think this possibility is very low. The season is very long, try to keep it as long as possible The main lineup is one game a week, they are still young, and the game volume should be moderate. For the next seven games, our goal is still the same: not to lose, and to reduce as many goals as possible. Even if it is a seven draw, I Also willing to accept."


    Hearing Aldridge''s goal of "no ambition", the other members of the coaching staff looked at each other, and Jenson frowned: "As long as seven games are undefeated? This is a bit low? Last time we won 4:0, according to In my opinion, of the seven opponents, we can win at least two victories. Opponents like Tranmere and Burnley are only tied. It doesn¡¯t make much sense. Moreover, seven draws are only seven league points. If we If you can win three games, you have at least nine points."


    Jenson¡¯s opinion was accepted by everyone, but Aldridge shook his head and said: "The second place point that was promoted last season was Nottingham Forest, 83 points, the first place Crystal Palace was 90 points, the league has 46 games, we are in There is room for losing points in the early stage. I don¡¯t want to put too much pressure on the team. At the same time, we must realize that yesterday¡¯s win at home against Allianz is essentially a tactical error of the opponent, not the overall team gap. Jenson you It¡¯s very practical to say that we won 3 games and lost 4 games, and the points were more than seven points in seven draws, but I don¡¯t think so.¡±


    The members of the coaching staff frowned at Aldridge and wanted to hear his thoughts.


    "The average age of our starting 11 players yesterday was around 21 years old. If we exclude the 25-year-old goalkeeper Keller, the average age of the other 10 people may be only 20 years old. They cannot afford to fail, and we cannot afford to fail. What is questioning, distrust, disappointment, loss of motivation, and the concentration of the player¡¯s brain will be dispersed. Losing is the biggest taboo at this critical stage of building confidence and mutual trust! A tie is a draw, as our young team does not Will be discouraged, even be considered a victory, lose one ball, players will regret or be unwilling, lose two goals, self-consolation can be said to be normal, lose three goals, is to hit, lose four goals, then it will give The players left a big shadow in their hearts, and they spread to each other, spreading across the entire team, and eventually failed.


    Aldridge''s calm voice shocked the entire coaching staff.


    In fact, these coaches are also very young, and the most intuitive performance of being responsible for the team is the league standings. Taking more points is almost the first work goal.


    Aldridge knocked on the table and said softly: "Okay, from now on, we have to forget yesterday¡¯s victory, and don¡¯t look at the standings. We rank in the top. Our focus is to build the current team. It is more fighting, not only the growth of individual players, but also the shaping of the team''s temperament and spirit. This is what we should focus on. When we do these jobs well, I think that victory will come naturally."


    call¡­¡­


    The coaches of the coaching staff exhaled and smiled at each other. They suddenly felt that Aldridge was not like an 18-year-old head coach. Even though they had the idea of ??quick success, Aldridge was surprisingly calm at this time.


    No one knows that Aldrich actually has more than 40 years of experience in his heart.


    Babu suddenly said anxiously: "Patrick made a mistake in yesterday''s game. Although he has calmed down, I worry that it will put him under pressure. I suggest letting him start with familiarity with English football and let him go It¡¯s okay to play in the youth team game or the reserve team game. In short, don¡¯t let him go directly to the league stage."


    Aldridge nodded deeply, saying: "This is the focus of my meeting today to discuss. There are many young players in our team who have no previous professional league experience, and some only played at the level of the youth team. So, I want to study with you the schedule of the reserve team and the youth team, so that these young players can get exercise gradually."


    In the past, Millwall did not participate in the reserve league. Only one youth team in the echelon needed to play, but it only trained young players. In recent years, it has had little effect. After Aldridge took over the team, the first team could not sell or The younger players who feel that they are promising are all delegated to the reserve team. The number is enough to make up a team, and they signed up for the reserve league this season.


    Jenson came up with two schedules, which are the league schedule of the reserve team and the youth team.


    Aldrich said: "Call the coaches of the reserve team and the youth team to let them bring the team player information. We not only want to let the players participate in the reserve team and the youth team competition, but also design and frontline The team¡¯s consistent tactics and let other players serve these players¡¯ growth."


    To put it bluntly, it is to let other players who have no hope in Aldrich''s eyes accompany the prince.


    This kind of thing is unspoken in the English club, even Manchester United are doing it, and the outstanding star of hope surrounds some unknown young players to practice for him, and even has a lawsuit, but in the end it is gone. .


    Now Millwall is pushing down and rebuilding, the youth team and the reserve team are more like a decoration, so it is understandable that Aldridge''s plan to directly participate in these two teams.


    For two days, Aldridge and the entire coaching staff studied the technical characteristics of the players in the team, designed tactics for young players to get more exercise, and instilled in the coaches of the youth team and the reserve team.


    On Wednesday, Aldridge began to study the intelligence of opponent Black Cat Sunderland on the weekend. The entire coaching staff had almost no day off. He usually supervised the players to train. When the players rested, they gathered together to prepare for the weekend.


    Although he got up early every day, Aldridge didn''t feel exhausted at all, but felt that his life was very fulfilling. He returned early and returned home. Besides going to bed, he had no time to deal with other things.


    At the preparatory meeting before Friday, Aldridge found that the first team players were more serious than at this time last week, with a meticulous expression. Everyone''s eyes were fixed on Aldridge, and his ears were ready to listen to him to arrange tactics.


    Seeing this scene, Aldridge knew what was happening. The last four goals won the Allianz League. He and the players have established a foundation of mutual trust.


    That¡¯s good, listen to me, and be sure!


    Jenson began to write and paint on the tactical board, and Aldridge calmly said to the players: "Our opponent in the next league is Sunderland. This team was a midfielder in the league last season. Their characteristics and Not obvious. It is the team with the fewest goals among the top twelve teams. The number of goals conceded is also ranked in the middle. From the last round of Bristol City where their away draw was weak, they still put this season. More energy is devoted to defense, but after all, they are at home, so we have to be careful about accidents that cause a ship to overturn."


    Aldridge patiently analyzed the opponent''s offensive routines for the team. What the team needs to pay attention to in the defense, and then combined with the formation pattern on the tactical board said: "Most of the opponent''s back line is shrinking near the restricted area, will not Too much space is given to us, so during the offense, our two forwards need to constantly run to pull out the pass. Robert and Bernd, your pass line is to cooperate with the corresponding side forward and run on the forward. When the ball is inserted diagonally into the ribs, the ball will be directed to that side. After receiving the ball, the forwards can cross the penalty area or knock back outside the penalty area. There are Bernd and Robert coming over to meet. Pavel can properly come forward and tandem the offensive attack , To ensure that the ball is constantly in motion, not to stay too much on one side or under the feet of a player. Remember?"


    The players who listened carefully listened in unison: "Remember, boss!"


    Aldridge clapped his hands and said, "Very well, the meeting is over, and we will play a beautiful game tomorrow, but we must remember not to treat our opponents as Allianz, and treat each game as your most important game. ."

 Chapter 23： I met a ghost!

    The stadiums used by most clubs in England after the 21st century were new stadiums built in the late 1990s. This was because of the Taylor Report after the Hillsborough massacre, which ordered the football club¡¯s stadium to be seated, so in the 1990s In the early days, most clubs had to rebuild the stadium. Millwall originally had this plan, but was stopped by Aldridge because the originally planned stadium had a capacity of only 20,000, although the cost did not exceed 20 million pounds. But Aldridge just looked down on it.


    The same is true of the Black Cat Sunderland. Now their bright stadium is still under construction. The old stadium Loga Park has a capacity of more than 10,000 people. It is impossible to reconstruct and expand. This is also the status quo of the English club stadium in the 1990s. With nearly 100 years of development, the development area of ??the course has been greatly reduced. Most of the courses are surrounded by residential houses, and only new land can be found to build new courses.


    Millwall and Sunderland did not have much grudges and hatred. Black Cat fans were also very restrained. When Aldridge stood on the side of the Loga Park stadium to direct the game, the stadium was slightly quiet. Odric occasionally looked back and saw the grandstand When I was a fan, I found that many people cast a curious look on him, but there was not much hostility.


    From the start of the game, Aldridge found himself miscalculated.


    Almost from the first minute, Millwall had the initiative in the game.


    Sunderland sits at home, but the attack does not invest much force. The old-style rushing makes the ball always fly from Sunderland''s half to Millwall''s backcourt. After the opponent''s forward can''t get the ball, it changes. It became Millwall''s offensive, and Sunderland''s defense was very conservative. The defender contracted and four midfielders also dragged in the backcourt. Although Millwall was the active side, only five players attacked halftime. , Can play several times but can not maintain fluency, the ball is always destroyed by Sunderland in the pass.


    Aldridge frowned at Sunderland''s coach, who was also an unknown in the coaching profession.


    He thought paradoxically: Is this a weak tactic? Do you want Millwall to make a big push?


    Aldridge watched the game for a while, then walked back to the coach seat and sat down, mumbling: "Damn it! What is Sunderland doing?!"


    This is their home court. The play is so conservative. Do you just want a draw?


    Jenson leaned in and whispered: "I just heard the fans chatting behind, it seems that there is a contradiction within Sunderland. The head coach next door is new this season."


    Aldridge knew that the opponent was changing coaches this season, but he didn''t know what was happening inside the team. He turned to look at Jenson and said softly: "Will Sunderland deliberately? Lead us to attack."


    Jenson shook his head and dared not make a judgment.


    Whether it is or not, this may cause Aldridge to change his tactics, and in case of a defeat, this responsibility is not small.


    Aldridge continued to look at the game, Trezeguet defeated in a fight, the ball was pushed out of the penalty area by the opposing defender, Pire appeared at the top of the penalty area and volleyed the ball!


    Wow!


    There was an uproar in the stands.


    Aldridge straightened up and watched the beautiful volley, but saw the ball flying slightly higher than the beam and flying towards the back of the goal.


    He opened his mouth silently.


    The rhythm on the field is not fast, but the situation is very stale, the ground attack can not be matched, the two-wing pilling does not pose much threat in the penalty area, and occasionally shots once or twice are very reluctant.


    Thirty minutes had passed in the first half. Aldrich confirmed that Sunderland just wanted to hold a draw at home, or really intended to draw a snake out of the hole. Millwall would not change conservative tactics without much pressure.


    Audric felt a little helpless in his heart. He and his team really can''t lose at this stage. It''s not how important the league points are, but the blow to the team''s morale and psychological impact after losing.


    Slowly, Aldridge calmed down the restlessness in his heart. He was a mentally open-minded person. The set goal was a draw. As long as he didn¡¯t lose the ball, he shouldn¡¯t be anxious. If you can¡¯t keep it, you¡¯ll lose more than you pay.


    Looking at the situation on the field, Aldridge frowned again.


    The top two strikers at the top, Larson has always been actively involved in the position, but Trezeguet is getting more and more depressed, but he is more competitive with the opponent''s defender. He just struggles to fight his body. Knowing that there was no chance, he barely got up.


    With the same tactics, Aldridge can only use different pieces.


    He turned back and waved at Solskjaer.


    Solskjaer had been watching the movements on the field intently, and suddenly found that the head coach beckoned to him. He looked surprised and pointed to his nose. He seemed to ask: The boss called me?


    Aldridge nodded, and Solskjaer immediately got up and came to Aldridge. He thought he would be replaced. Although it was only 35 minutes in the first half, Solskjaer didn''t think so much.


    Aldridge only let Jensen next to give Solskjaer a seat, and then let Solskjaer sit beside him.


    Solskjaer was confused, and he sat unnaturally in the position of assistant, only listening to Aldridge still looking at the court, and asked softly, "Want to play?"


    nonsense!


    Solskjaer focused on it and said, "Of course I want!"


    "What should you do after playing?"


    "Goal!"


    "How to get in? The ball won''t roll under your feet by itself, nor will it let you fly into the opponent''s gate with just one touch."


    Solskjaer didn''t speak anymore, Aldridge turned his head to look at him seriously, and said in a deep voice: "Ole, you are a smart player, even if you sit here, you can play your football wisdom, Now sit here and observe the game carefully. That¡¯s right, you only have one goal to play, to score! But how to score, where is the flaw of the opponent¡¯s defense, this requires you to observe carefully here, you want to think before playing Know what to do after playing."


    Solskjaer''s enthusiasm for preparing to play has cooled down a lot. He sat quietly beside Aldridge and carefully observed the situation of the game. Under the prevailing situation, the flexible running position appears in that appropriate position, what kind of threat can it create.


    Soon the first half ended and the score was still 0:0.


    Back in the locker room, Aldridge praised the team''s performance in the first half. No tactical adjustments were made. Sunderland has more defensive players. This is clear at a glance, unless Aldridge makes Nedved even more It is possible to break the disadvantage of this number of offenses and defenses by moving forward or allowing the full-back to assist. However, it will be very risky. Under the premise of creating a defensive system, Aldridge will not do so.


    Before the start of the second half, Aldridge held Trezeguet ready to play. The two slowed down and walked to the end.


    "David, you are the striker and the most watched player on the court. Your goal will defeat your opponent''s entire team, not one of the opponent''s players. Don''t get entangled with the opponent''s defender and get rid of him in the second half. It¡¯s irrelevant to pass him and grab the ball to defeat him. Only by hitting the ball into the opponent¡¯s goal, you will win. Other contests, the outcome is meaningless, understand?"


    Aldrich said to Trezeguet calmly. Trezeguet touched his smooth head. He also knew that he did not perform well in the second half of the first half. In fact, he was on the opponent''s back. The young man had It¡¯s normal to use your mind to become a muscle in your mind.


    "Boss, I know."


    Aldridge patted his back and encouraged: "Well, don''t put too much pressure on yourself, just go to the game as you planned before the game, go."


    After Aldridge''s point, Trezeguet''s running and involvement were significantly stronger after the start of the second half.


    But perhaps Sunderland already had a good defensive experience in the first half, so their back line still did not give Larson and Trezegue opportunities.


    Until the 55th minute of the game, Larsson rubbed lightly after taking the ball in the penalty area. The ball jumped and fell into the penalty area, and Treze covered his mind and headed to the goal after nodding the ball!


    Before that, Trezeguet''s running position clearly cleared the guard who was marking him. Facing such a good opportunity, Trezeguet flicked the header and the ball flew towards Sunderland''s goal.


    Aldridge got up and looked at this attack and watched the ball fly to Sunderland''s goal. He thought excitedly: Enter, enter, must enter!


    boom!


    The ball hit the Sunderland goal near the goal post and the bottom line popped up!


    "Fuck! Sunderland is **** shit!"


    Aldridge looked down and cursed uncomfortably.


    Trezeguet held his bald head in disbelief, and it was a bit frustrating to kneel on the ground after the header.


    In the 70th minute of the game, Aldridge replaced Solskjaer, who had warmed up, to replace Trezeguet. He no longer had to ask Solskjaer too much. He walked up to meet the next Trezeguet. Aldridge saw He was still unsure, so he comforted: "David, I''m basically satisfied with your performance today, but I''m just a little bit out of luck."


    "Boss, give me another ten minutes, no, five minutes, I can score."


    Trezeguet said like a stubborn child.


    Aldridge smiled and patted his shoulder, saying: "Don''t be childish, there are still 44 games in the league. I can let you play 90 minutes per game. Then I guess you can only play for half a season. Do you hope so?"


    Trezeguet had to succumb to reality, and he knew that a reasonable rest was necessary, not to mention that Millwall would then enter a double-week consecutive situation.


    Aldridge did not sit back on the coach seat, he stood on the sidelines, hoping to keep the players from vigilance and continue to play according to the deployed tactics. The game has already reached the last fifteen minutes of the second half. Aldridge feels that he can take one Draw, he has nothing to regret.

 Chapter 24： Eve of revenge

    Millwall and Sunderland''s Ligue 1 unknowingly reached the 40th minute of the second half, and almost everyone thought that the two teams would end in a draw.


    Even Aldridge felt that the handshake was a fair ending. After all, Millwall couldn''t make a stunningly smooth offense.


    But the surprise came quietly when you didn''t expect it.


    Schneider received the ball on the right. After more than 80 minutes of the game, he would pass the ball in the wing position at 45 degrees, or hit the opponent''s full-back and center-back in the straight, but this time, he did After a fake action, the defensive player who deceived the opponent moved the ball laterally. After approaching the middle, he had a passing pass. He kicked the ball to the right of the top of the penalty area.


    Sunderland''s central defender saw a Millwall player withdraw from the penalty area on Schneider''s pass.


    Solskjaer!


    After taking over Trezeguet''s position, he didn''t go deep into the penalty area, but ran back and forth in the penalty area. Although the Sunderland guards were troubled, he did not create a threatening attack.


    But at this moment, he appeared at the top of the arc in the penalty area, and there was no defensive player to mark him personally.


    Solskjaer, who faced the goal sideways, faced Schneider''s passing with peace of mind. Since he was sitting on the bench, he has been observing the situation on the field. It is not accidental to appear in this position to easily receive the ball. !


    If it wasn''t for him and the teammates that he wasn''t tacit enough, he believed he wouldn''t get such a good chance more than ten minutes after his debut.


    Overcrowded in the penalty area, Solskjaer knew he didn''t have space for the ball, and he didn''t even have the time to stop and turn to adjust, so he thought about what to do next second before catching the ball.


    Shoot!


    And it is difficult to shoot by accident!


    He rolled the ball on the inside of his right foot against the ground, aiming at the top right corner of Sunderland''s goal!


    After shooting the ball, Solskjaer raised his head and looked at the rainbow ball leaping like a rising rainbow.


    The next second, Solskjaer was stunned.


    The ball popped out of the restricted area!


    Solskjaer immediately raised his right hand while hitting his right arm with his left hand and turned to shout to the referee: "Handball! Handball!"


    The ball he shot hit Sunderland''s jumping defender''s arm, and then the penalty area popped out, otherwise, Solskjaer was sure it would be a wonderful goal!


    The other Millwall players also raised their arms and shouted at the referee.


    At almost the same time, the referee blew his whistle and at the same time reached out with a majestic face to the penalty spot in Sunderland''s penalty area.


    Penalties!


    The Sunderland players saw the referee decisively awarded a penalty and immediately surrounded...


    Aldridge didn¡¯t respond at all on the sidelines. He was far away and could not determine whether it was handball, or whether the opponent¡¯s arm was expanded to expand the defensive area. He just instinctively excited and shouted ¡°That¡¯s a handball "Then he saw the referee awarded a penalty and he no longer verbose, but applauded instead.


    Fans at the scene reported boos to the referee, and Sunderland players protested to no avail.


    The first penalty designated by Millwall team was held in front of the penalty spot. Under the pressure of booing, Larson easily shot the ball into the dead end.


    Millwall led by one goal away!


    Aldridge was relieved after seeing a penalty kick.


    In any case, it is always more joyful to win the game than to win a draw.


    He applauded the players on the sidelines, then put on a smile to stabilize the players and defend.


    There are three minutes left in the game, and about five minutes plus stoppage time.


    Sunderland was naturally unwilling to lose behind at home, so he launched a fierce counterattack in the last five minutes, but failed to break through Millwall''s door.


    Instead, in the last minute of stoppage time, Stam''s header cleared the ball to the right, but Thuram''s big foot clearance turned into a counterattack. Larsson made a header back in the middle circle. Not far away, Solskjaer sprinted into the opponent''s half at full speed. In the case of Sunderland''s heavy pressure, Solskjaer succeeded in anti-offside and went to the meeting alone!


    Facing the attacking goalkeeper, Solskjaer pushed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal with full confidence outside the penalty area.


    2: 0.


    Solskjaer, who played less than twenty minutes, played the magic in the first game of his career.


    Creating a penalty and scoring a goal helped Millwall take away three points on the road, while also steadily improving the team''s confidence and cohesion.


    After the game, Aldridge hurriedly shook hands with Sunderland''s coach, and then walked into the player''s tunnel. It was only a few words to be interviewed in the mixed zone.


    "Sunderland''s performance is very stable, we won the game in addition to the team''s stable play, more or less luck, I also hope that good luck will always look after us."


    Two-game winning streak Millwall continued to sit at the top of the standings, which is not what Aldridge cares about.


    In the following period, Millwall began a week of consecutive double matches.


    After three days of rest, Millwall welcomed his opponent in the first round of the League Cup at home: Plymouth in the fourth league.


    In this game, Aldridge performed a team rotation to play with a full bench.


    Goalkeeper Bout, defenders Phil Neville, Dean Richards, Marco Materazzi, Zambrotta.


    Midfielders Beckham, Vieira, Barack, Glennshire.


    Forward Kevin Phillips, Solskjaer.


    The average age of this set is 19 years old.


    Although Aldridge has no idea about the cup, it does not mean that he will easily give up the game, even if he loses, he has to lose value.


    Throughout the game, he directed on the sidelines, constantly shouting to let players on the field run to make up positions.


    The starting point of this lineup''s offensive is center and right. Compared with the main lineup, Aldridge is still suppressing Nedved''s offensive talent. He gave Barak more freedom to insert forward, while Beckham on the right It is like a precision-guided weapon. The B¨¦zier arc is not well known, but as long as Beckham¡¯s ten-footed and twenty-footed long passes can create several threat attacks, then Aldridge¡¯s expectations can be met.


    The Glencar on the left is very fast, the speed of the 100-meter sprint is comparable to that of track and field players, and Aldridge also allows him to pose a threat on the left.


    The first round of this League Cup match against Plymouth was not exciting. The ball was almost flying around in the sky, but Millwall players showed the quality that Aldridge wanted to see.


    The players who finally shined in the audience were Kevin Phillips and Beckham. The former staged a hat trick, while the latter''s repeated and accurate long passes were impressive.


    The final score is 4:3.


    After Barak''s unscrupulous attack, only Vieira remained in the back defense. Although the performance was not too bad, it still exposed many flaws, allowing Plymouth''s offensive combination to easily face Millwall''s young and immature. Rear line of defense.


    Plymouth will have more chances to score absolute points than Millwall. If it is not Bout high and low, I am afraid that Millwall''s League Cup tour will end in the first game.


    After the game, Aldridge praised the team. For many players who have no professional game experience, the first show is eligible to win.


    And four days later, Aldridge will welcome an opponent who makes Millwall fans unhappy at home: Derbyshire.


    Three months ago, the promotion play-offs were vividly remembered. Derby County beat Millwall 5:1 in two rounds, blocking their progress to the Super League.


    After the game, fans of both sides also broke out in a small-scale conflict.


    For the tactical settings of this game, Aldridge still follows the deployment of the first two games, but he needs to mobilize the team''s mood at the preparation meeting.


    Three consecutive victories in the new season, the team''s players have good morale and confidence.


    They are also increasingly convinced of Aldridge.


    At the team''s preparation meeting, Aldridge stopped his speech after analyzing his opponent Derbyshire. Instead of announcing the dissolution, he made a period of silence.


    The players looked at each other, not knowing why the boss suddenly got stuck.


    Aldridge pouted his lips with an unpleasant expression, looked around the team and raised his eyebrows: "Do you know what Derby County has to do with us?"


    Most of the players who have just arrived in the UK less than three months have a blank expression and are really not interested in the team''s history.


    Even Beckham and Neville were confused.


    Derbyshire is a Derby City team. It can''t play against Millwall, and there is no untieable knot in history.


    Only Southgate in London is thoughtful.


    "It seems that Gareth knows. You tell everyone."


    Named by Aldridge, Southgate shrugged: "Derby County was our enemy last season, and tomorrow is a battle of revenge for us."


    After listening to Southgate''s words, there are still players expressing daze.


    Aldridge said with a sullen face: "Yes, tomorrow is a vengeance. Not to hide from you. If Millwall defeated Derbyshire last season, it is likely that we are now in the top league, but because of the loss to that **** not Derbyshire, we have stayed in the first class, look at the performance of Derbyshire in the past half month, they lost to Barnsley, draw Luton, grass, is a joke, Millwall last season Why did you lose to this kind of garbage? It was because the first two games of Derbyshire only got a point, so tomorrow they came to the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium and they definitely want to take three points from us. After all, they were three months ago. Here I stepped on the body of Millwall and went to Wembley. Although they lost to Leicester City in the end, in their eyes, we are **** soft eggs, which can make them kill and let them get back. Confident, relive the feeling of victory. What should we do? Did we walk over and tell them politely: Millwall had nothing to do with us three months ago? Who the **** would listen to this? I just need to see them after the game It¡¯s enough to go home crying.¡±

 Chapter 25： The roar of the blue lion!

    The finals of the promotion play-offs last season were lost to Leicester City with a low level of hostility and missed the opportunity to advance to the Premier League. This is a big blow for Derbyshire without a well-known player. The shadow of defeat It continued until the beginning of this season. The opponents with one draw and one loss in the first two leagues were teams with poor strength, and the top teams in the standings showed a good state. It seems that Derby County has woke up.


    On the afternoon of the match day, Aldridge came out of the locker room. When he passed the player channel, he paid special attention to the attitude of Derbyshire players and found that they were full of spirits. They must have mobilized before the game. .


    This is great!


    Aldridge is not afraid of meeting aggressive teams. The more aggressive the team, the more he can help his team grow quickly. At the same time, tactically, he can give his defensive counterattack room to play.


    On the contrary, Aldridge is most afraid of encountering that kind of relatively conservative team, but that makes his team have little room to play on offense.


    As soon as he walked out of the player¡¯s channel, the noisy voice of the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium drifted into his ears. In this noisy voice, Aldridge calmly walked to the coach of the home team.


    "Aldrich! Aldrich!"


    The stand outside the passage was relatively close. Aldridge unexpectedly heard someone calling him, and he stopped and looked around.


    I saw a young male fan waving at him with a poster in the nearest stand, yelling his name constantly. When he saw Aldridge looking over, he shouted more loudly: "Aldrich, hey! I¡¯m Brady, have you forgotten me? Come and sign me, you dead boy!"


    Aldridge smiled dumbly. Not far away, the young man of his age faced the show. If he didn¡¯t look closely, it was hard to see the small freckles on his face. At this moment, his proper expression beckoned to Aldridge.


    There were a few young people next to Brady. Aldridge recognized at a glance that they were all Aldridge childhood playmates like Brady.


    Although Aldridge has been studying all over Europe all year round, he still returns to London for a period of time every year. In addition to the course of dealing with the training of English football coaches, he will gather with these little friends at other times.


    Aldridge approached the stand, and Brady handed the poster and a pen in his hand.


    The poster is Millwall''s promotional poster for this season. It is centered on the heroic Aldridge. The other first-team players are standing coolly behind him, with the green field as the background.


    Aldridge signed his name on the lawn at the foot of "self" in the poster, then handed the poster back and chuckled: "How is it going?"


    Brady looked down and took a look at the poster. He smiled and said, "I''m going to school at the University of East London. Okay."


    The little friends next to him saw Brady get the signature, and they all asked Aldrich to sign it, some of them signed directly on the jersey, and some were on the cap.


    "Go for a drink after the game, see you in the old place."


    Aldrich said casually while signing, but he found that more and more fans asked him to sign, and many fans around him have learned something. According to this trend, Aldridge may be too busy to sign in the dark.


    Brady grinned his white teeth and pretended to be fierce: "Aldridge, can we win today? Damn Derbyshire can be a real fucker!"


    Aldridge returned the pen in his hand to Brady, did not answer his question, and made an apologetic gesture to the fans who were still asking for signatures. Then he shrugged at Brady and turned to the home team coach on the sidelines. Seats.


    "Damn! Aldridge, if you lose the game, be careful of being beaten by us! Especially your pretty face will be beaten!"


    Aldridge turned around and smiled, then raised his **** at Brady.


    Wow!


    Many fans around saw Aldridge raise his **** towards the stands and gave a great exclamation.


    But Brady''s group of guys burst into laughter, and then shouted to Audridge: "Audridge, if you dare to lose the game, we will kill you! Hahahaha."


    Fans around have reacted.


    Dare to love Aldridge and these young people know, that **** is just a joke between peers.


    After that, the laughter around him grew louder.


    Millwall fans are all working class, they are not gentlemen, and their words and deeds are absolutely unrelated to gentlemen, rudeness and vulgarity are the most normal.


    Aldrich, who would raise his **** when joking with friends, is like a rebellious big boy. This will not only dislike the fans, even the elderly fans will smile when they see it, as if they saw them when they were young. shadow.


    If Aldridge behaves like a gentle and elegant person all the time, it will make them feel a sense of distance and strangeness, even if Aldridge leads the team towards a good momentum, but it may be difficult to accept in the heart He, because the people of the two worlds always have a gap, but instead Adrige, who has a working class color on his body, is more easily accepted and tolerated by them.


    Because the game hasn''t started yet, the retransmission footage did not capture the scene where Aldridge raised his **** just now, otherwise it will definitely be preached.


    Aldridge, as always, stood in front of the coach''s seat, quietly waiting for the game to begin with hands in his pockets.


    Fans in the stands already had tit-for-tat signs before the game.


    "5:1, 5:1, 5:1..."


    Derbyshire fans can only repeatedly yell the **** score three months ago in the corner of the stadium to humiliate Millwall.


    And Millwall fans can only shout sourly: "There was a coward at Wembley who lost to Leicester City!"


    What if we win?


    You still don¡¯t **** stay in the League One!


    And now we are at the top of the list, but you are in the relegation zone!


    The two teams did not have much hostility, just a battle of pure revenge.


    It''s like fighting a stranger.


    Three months ago, Derbyshire beat Millwall to a drop of flowers. Today, Millwall wants to make Derbyshire a whistle. After the game is over, it will soon be forgotten. This lasts a long time between the enemy of Derby and has There is a fundamental difference between the endless inheritance of generations.


    The war between the fans in the stands has begun, and the game kicked off after the referee whistled.


    At the beginning of the game, Derby County really made a big attack, and there was a lot of anti-guest momentum.


    In the opening thirty seconds, he shot a long shot outside the penalty area. Although it was more outrageous, it was also a shock.


    On the contrary, Millwall was calm and did not seem to be able to adapt to the opponent''s fierce attack in the frontcourt. Thuram kicked the ball back to the opponent player in a hurried clearance, forcing Makelele to make a foul to contain Derby County''s offense.


    In the opening three minutes, Derbyshire''s high pressure forced Millwall to breathless.


    The fans in the stands are very anxious.


    What are you doing?


    What is the rhythm to lose? !


    Standing on the sidelines, Aldridge was very calm, his hands still in his trousers pockets.


    In fact, he was not worried and happy.


    Derbyshire¡¯s high-pressure **** was mentioned by Aldridge at the preparatory meeting. The players must remember it, but the rhythm of the first two leagues is obviously slow, even if Xiu''an United bombs It''s just a highball, and compared to Derbyshire, which has matured almost last season and has almost advanced to the Premier League, Xiu''an United or Sunderland is still a grade.


    Millwall players just haven¡¯t gotten used to it. As long as they are mentally stable and self-adjusting, everything will be on track.


    For the high-scoring Premier League, positioning ball is one of the important goal-breaking tactics, so when Derby County got the frontcourt positioning ball, most of their players rushed up.


    The ball dangled into the penalty area. In a group of people struggling to jump for the header, Stam blocked the Derbyshire players around him. After the jump, the ball was pushed out of the penalty area and the ball was consciously taken home. The left side of the backcourt.


    The ball bounced on the turf. Before the Derbyshire player rushed up to grab the ball, Piley gently lifted the ball forward with his right foot. The ball crossed the top of the Derbyshire player''s head in a beautiful arc in the air. Then, Piray sprinted with all his strength, and there was a large empty space in front of him.


    At this moment, Aldridge''s right hand was pulled out of his pocket, and he waved fiercely towards the goal of Derbyshire. He shouted in a terrible manner: "Give me! Don''t slow down!"


    In fact, without him, after the first two games and training, the Millwall frontcourt offensive four has long known what to do at this time.


    Pires rushed with the ball.


    Larson and Trezeguet sprinted forward with a distance apart.


    Schneider on the right side also quickly plugged along the side road.


    The fans in the stands also roared loudly, and it was an exciting picture.


    In the second second, Derbyshire''s frontcourt positioning ball still threatened Millwall''s door. Just after the blink of an eye, the four Millwall players sprinted forward on their respective tracks like track and field players.


    The two players behind Derbyshire followed Larsson and Trezeguet. Pires, who took the ball, also had Derbyshire players back at full speed.


    When Piley brought the ball close to the center line, he made a long pass and the ball jumped across the half and flew diagonally towards the right.


    The unmarked Schneider is on the landing point of the ball trajectory.


    But such a long pass in high-speed running is a great test of the player''s technical ability.


    It would be a pity if such a good opportunity was wasted.


    Millwall fans prayed that Schneider must take the long pass.


    Aldridge standing on the sidelines thundered.


    The scene in front of him is the perfect embodiment of his counterattack tactics.


    The player plugs in at a high speed in the counterattack, the team member does not stick the ball, and quickly advances the ball to the opponent''s half through the air, not only to let the opponent have no time to lay defense, even to make the opponent unable to catch up!


    He has confidence in Schneider!


    If the ball is not in position, Pire has nothing to say, but the trajectory of the ball is just right. Schneider, as the leading player in this generation of German players, stopping the ball during high-speed running cannot be said to be a breeze, but it plays well. It will never disappoint.


    Sure enough, Schneider inserted in the right corridor at a high speed with only a soft pad with the right foot arch, perfectly draining the ball. The kind of joke "stop the ball two meters away" did not happen to him. .


    It''s just that the technique and movement of stopping the ball are pleasing to the eye.


    After the ball was stopped, Schneider did not take the ball forward. His speed is not special. If he takes the ball forward, his speed will give Derby County more defensive time. Therefore, he passed a half-height ball to fly diagonally. To the left, to the left of the frontier of the penalty area in Derbyshire.


    The ball crossed another arc in midair.


    Millwall¡¯s two forwards and two opposing defenders were all running towards the Derby County goal. Schneider¡¯s pass was in front of them. The Derby County defender at the previous point tried to fly out and shovel out, but I was unable to use my toes to stop the ball from passing in front of me.


    Trezeguet''s guard who was intercepted by the shovel shook and missed the point, but he was still running forward.


    While Larson, who was already in place on the left, faced the ball that fell in front of him, he gently knocked with his left foot, chasing his Derby County guard unbelievably, and even did a good job of pulling down Lar outside the penalty area. Sen''s preparation, but did not expect that in the high-speed operation of the ball, Larsen clearly had the opportunity to form a single-pole, but gave this opportunity to break the goal to his teammates!


    The ball was knocked back into the middle, and Trezeguet, who had been unmarked, made a little adjustment after catching the ball and pulled his feet out to shoot!


    Seeing the ball hit the goal, the opponent''s goalkeeper didn''t respond. On the sidelines, Audridge raised his fist and raised his arm, turned and laughed: "This is amazing!"


    From the defense to the goal to the goal, the statistic of 11 seconds of quick counterattack to break the goal saw Millwall fans'' blood, and the Lion''s Cave Stadium instantly turned into a sea of ??carnival!


    The Millwall players who made this classic goal in full-speed running are like blue lions on the club''s emblem in the eyes of fans!


    The lion¡¯s cave stadium in Millwall seemed to send out a roar of tremors in the world!

 Chapter 26： Lord

    After Trezeguet scored a twist, he pointed to Larson and ran past with a big smile, and Millwall players gathered to celebrate together.


    Aldridge felt a little dry after being excited, so he went back and took a bottle of water to fill his mouth. Although he was not the one to play football, he directed the game on the sidelines, browsed the progress of the game, and stimulated his nerves all the time. Activating his adrenal hormones.


    If he could hear the TV commentary broadcast by the Premier League at this moment, he would certainly be able to hear the commentator marvel at Millwall''s goal.


    "11 seconds! Unbelievable goal! Pleasant goal! Stam header header, Pire only dribble less than 20 meters after receiving the ball, transferred the ball from the left side of the court to Schneider on the right At the foot of Germany, the German guy decisively passed the ball straight, Larsson made the ball to the middle, Trezeguet broke! In the process of scoring the goal, Millwall had only five players touch the ball, and there was no slight drag on theirs. The speed is far behind the players of Derbyshire. The accurate passing makes the game picture without any backwards, all the way forward until the ball is sent to the opponent''s goal! We underestimated Audridge and underestimated Milwaukee. Well, it¡¯s no accident that they can create such a thrilling goal! Millwall, they are like a tornado, blowing a storm of youth..."


    Faced with this goal, Derby County coach Lu Muran appeared to be shocked.


    But at this moment, he has been riding a tiger. The team has lost the first two rounds. If they lose again in this game, the ranking of Derbyshire may not be so dangerous near the relegation zone, but the bottom of the league!


    He clapped on the sidelines to encourage the players, hoping that they would cheer up and try to break the goal.


    "Hey guys, the game is still going on! Don''t pull your head and cheer me up, we scored almost ten of them last season! We will score more goals than they do!"


    The Derbyshire coach''s words inspired the Derbyshire players. They encouraged each other and continued to organize threatening offensives after the kick-off in the middle circle.


    Probably because the opponent''s coach shouted too loudly, Aldridge also heard it.


    Last season¡¯s history was correct. With two clashes in the league and the collision in the first round of the promotion play-off, Derbyshire scored exactly nine goals for Millwall.


    Aldridge put down the water bottle and shouted when he walked to the sidelines.


    "Their coach said they can score ten goals for us! Have you heard?"


    He was yelling at Millwall''s side, except for Lucas Neal, who was at the farthest end, and all other players heard.


    Suddenly, Millwall''s players became more focused, and the defense was clean and neat without giving the opponent a chance.


    The fans in the stands in this game are very contradictory.


    The team clearly led the ball, but almost all the players were hoarding in Millwall''s half, and the ball was also running back and forth in this half.


    Both of their forwards, Larson and Trezeguet, were hovering around the middle circle and looked too far from each other''s penalty area.


    This is contrary to the development of England in recent decades.


    In this era of English football, there is a theory that tall forwards crowded in the penalty area and directly threatened the opponent''s goal, known as the area of ??best efficiency. Therefore, the style of high play is popular, and away from the penalty area is far away from the score.


    Trezeguet and Larson were cruising near the middle circle, seemingly lacking motivation and even appearing lazy.


    But they have been paying attention to the position of the Derby County guard line.


    In the minds of the two, clearly remember the tactics that Aldridge explained at the pre-match preparation meeting yesterday.


    "Derbyshire is used to fighting fiercely with such fierce play. If this kind of play suppresses the opponent and scores at the beginning of the game, the subsequent continued suppression will cause pressure on the opponent until the opponent collapses, and their back line habitually Staying close to the striker will steal the first time, or use fouls to stop the opponents. Henrik, David, listen well, don¡¯t get entangled with your opponents, you pull back near the midfield, pay attention to the position of the opponent''s back line , They may not follow you all the time, but they will certainly habitually press close to your position at a certain time. At this time, there will be a very large empty space behind them. When this opportunity appears, the two sides The tee shot directly hit the ball behind the opponent''s back line, fight for speed, the entire Premier League, even the Premier League, there will not be a few defenders who can turn around and catch up with our striker in a straight line. At that time, it was our party time ."


    Aldrich always praises the players'' special skills without any traces in the layout of the tactics, which will make the players full of motivation to execute his tactics after being affirmed.


    But Derbyshire¡¯s high-pressure fights have worked very well for a long time. They stared at Millwall¡¯s backcourt players. Although not every ball can be destroyed in time, they will never make them effective. Offensive.


    Millwall''s rhythm of contracting halftime continued until the 40th minute of the first half. Derbyshire, who can''t beat for a long time, was uncontrollably discouraged, and there were signs of slack in defense.


    Southgate broke the opponent''s striker on the edge of the penalty area to try to pass his ball, and then Southgate did not blindly make a big foot.


    Among the two central defenders, Southgate obviously has better foot skills than Stam. In Aldridge''s tactics, Southgate not only has to do a good defensive task, but it is also very important to get the ball after the ball is intercepted.


    In the midfield and backfield, Nedvide beckoned for the ball, and Southgate passed the ball from the crowd.


    After receiving the ball, Nedved pulled the ball laterally to avoid the Derby County player stepping forward and intercepted. Then he glanced at the front court and directly took the ball in place to hang the ball into the opponent''s half.


    For more than thirty minutes before, Nedved had been seeking cooperation with the wing and let the deadly pass be completed by Piley or Schneider, but the effect was not good because the Derbyshire players were on the wing. The two teammates are not leak-proof, even if they can''t break the ball, they will use tactical fouls to make Millwall''s offense die.


    So this time Nedved did not divide the ball to the side, but directly completed the task of passing the threat by himself!


    On the sidelines, Aldridge saw Nedved''s choice and marveled: What a smart player!


    He would like the players to complete his tactical arrangements meticulously, but occasionally a flash of light is allowed to be able to make an insight into the situation on the field and make the best choice. Such a player, Audridge only appreciates it.


    The ball crossed the midfield in the air and flew over the entire rear line of Derbyshire.


    The landing point will be about forty yards from the goal.


    The Derbyshire defenders immediately turned around and chased back, preparing to block Millwall''s forward with a physical collision.


    But the two central defenders were in trouble.


    After Larsson and Trezeguet played in Nedvide, the two of them tacitly completed the transposition crossover position. They did not give the defender a chance to close foul, but instead caused confusion to the opponent.


    The moment when the two started, an amazing start-up speed erupted, and at the same time their hearts were full: the head is god!


    Derby County''s defender''s forward pressure paid a terrible price. In just a few seconds, Larson and Trezeguet had opened their distance of more than one meter, and the gap was gradually widening.


    Larson was faster, and Trezeguet knew he couldn''t grab the ball''s landing spot, so he pulled it aside as a drag.


    Except for a burst in the fifth minute of the first half, the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium gradually fell silent, but in this second, two Millwall players saw the success of the offside off, the single-handed ball was in sight, the two players were like cage beasts. Approaching the restricted area of ??Derbyshire, the fans in the stands held their breath and seemed to be brewing a huge storm.


    Larson caught up with the falling ball. The opponent''s goalkeeper chose to attack. The two were less than three meters apart. Larson did not choose to shoot. Once again, he selflessly knocked the ball to Trezeguet.


    Trezeguet, who runs a little slower, will never be offside. He catches the ball and goes forward into the penalty area. He has crossed the Derby County goalkeeper in the flat position.


    The other goalkeeper turned his head towards Trezeguet, but he could no longer block the shot angle.


    Trezeguet continued to dribble towards the bottom line, swayed the goalkeeper, the empty goal gave him a thirty-degree shot angle, but this time he threw a peach return and kicked the ball back to the goal, where it had slowed down. He didn''t expect Trezeguet to pass the ball back. He easily kicked the ball into the empty goal.


    Fans sitting in the stands of the stands collectively stood up and shouted loudly, clapping and waving their arms, flushed with excitement.


    Probably the way of scoring was too easy, Larson slowly walked towards Trezeguet, hugged together with a smile.


    Derbyshire players who chased back rushed into the goal in one breath and kicked the flying ball angrily. The same anxiety was spreading in their team.


    Aldridge clenched his fists on the sidelines and waved up and down twice in front of him. There was no other celebration.


    Before the end of the first half, Millwall led by two goals!


    Derbyshire conceded another goal before the end of the midfield, which hit their morale very hard and was almost devastating.


    In the second half, Aldridge replaced three players in a row and slowed down. Solskjaer scored twice in the thirty minutes of the bench, helping Millwall to kill Derby County in the final four goals. The fans cried out for a long time.


    "Ole, Ole, Ole Ole..."


    Millwall''s revenge succeeds!


    In three rounds, Millwall took the first place in the standings, scoring 10 goals in all three games and losing 0 goals.


    Millwall, who was not optimistic about the pre-season tour, finally attracted the attention of all the opponents in the League One!

 Chapter 27： Hooligan

    At the beginning of the Lantern Festival, East London is more like the hustle and bustle of the opening of the market than West London with neon flashing tall buildings.


    In a bar with a small bar area, two or three guests gather together for a drink and talk. The TV on the bar replays the Premier League game that ended more than an hour ago. The boss is a black man who is nearly thirty years old. He wears a slim waiter The clothing wipes the wine glass behind the bar. If a customer orders wine, he immediately puts down the glass to serve the customer. He behaves politely, and occasionally chats with the guests.


    Aldridge still wore the suit for directing the game in the afternoon. When he pushed open the bar door and walked in, there was a coaxing sound immediately.


    "Hey, look at who this is?"


    Brady laughed at the pool table deep in the bar, and his words attracted everyone''s attention.


    "WOW, Aldridge, you did a good job. Keeping up with this momentum, we will definitely play the Premier League next year!"


    The unfamiliar uncle gave Aldrich his thumbs drunkenly.


    "Mr. Hall, I like Larson. He is different. He reminds me of Teddy. Will he stay at Millwall? We can''t always sell good players to other teams!"


    A young man in his early twenties ran to Aldridge and mumbled.


    Does Larson now remind Millwall fans of Sheringham?


    Maybe, Aldridge doesn''t care. He has no special feelings for Sheringham. Even if Sheringham went to Manchester United, in fact, the number of goals per year seems to be too far away from the top scorers.


    Aldridge patiently chatted with everyone who came up to say hello to him, and then he sat down in front of the bar, looked at the black man behind the bar, and laughed: "The bar business is good, don''t you please please Rise up?"


    In that teasing smile, the black boss poured Aldridge a small glass of whiskey, and said gently: "The other guys have gone to dinner, and later, I am probably too busy to come alone, just now The peak period has passed."


    Aldridge thoughtfully glanced at the TV in the bar. The previous peak period should be the time to broadcast the Premier League.


    The bar owner is Aldridge¡¯s old acquaintance: Sand.


    Starting from a video store, eight years later, Aldridge became the head coach, and Sander also owns a bar industry.


    Aldridge drank a glass of whiskey, and then said to Sand: "Here I stole foreign signals to broadcast the Premier League game. Sooner or later, the Football Association will check it. If someone comes to check it, you just put it away. Once you go to court, the lawsuit can drag you to bankruptcy."


    Sande nodded softly.


    Not only his bar, almost all British bars will use signal-stealing technology to illegally broadcast the Premier League, and Sky TV¡¯s sale of the Premier League¡¯s broadcasting rights to other countries is almost a tens of millions of pounds of contracts, but satellites of other European countries There are loopholes in the signal encryption technology.


    Bar owners like Sander can buy the Premier League hacking technology from the black market for a few hundred pounds. Then, on every live broadcast day, guests only need to pay 1 pound to enter the Premier League to watch the Premier League. The accompanying wine profit is very considerable.


    Aldrich mentioned a sentence and took a bottle of beer to the depths of the bar, where two billiard tables were placed. Brady and other friends were playing billiards. When Aldridge came over, Brady put the ball The shot was thrown to him, and he smiled: "Milwall is awesome today."


    Aldridge threw his blazer on the chair aside, put the bottle on the billiard table, and then played snooker.


    After the batting, Aldridge straightened up, Fred of Nigerian descent handed a lit cigarette, and Aldridge took it home and sucked it up.


    Fred hugged his shoulders and smiled, "Audridge, you haven''t changed at all."


    Aldridge pushed him away and scolded: "Grass, how long have you not taken a bath? I''m smoked to death."


    Hahahaha, the young people around laughed.


    Aldridge, who returned to London a few months ago for the first time to meet his friends, chatted with them while playing billiards, smoking and drinking, talking about women, and so on, just as they used to.


    As time passed, more and more guests came to the bar for a drink at night. At this time, Aldridge was no longer striking because he took off his suit, unbuttoned two buttons on his shirt, and removed his tie. Holding a beer bottle in one hand and a cigarette in the other, he chatted with Brady Fred and others, laughing and chatting like the carefree young people who have not yet stepped into society.


    "You say my team is useless? Saul, do you **** know football? Lao Tzu''s team has washed Derby County with four goals this afternoon. You said Derby County has an advantage? Shit! Then they didn''t score a goal. ?Do you know what an advantage is? If you can''t score, you can''t win, the advantage is nonsense!"


    Aldrich said spittingly on the pool table. Saul was speechless in front of him. The others were all in a playful look. In the past twenty minutes or so, they had seen Aldrich. Strange boastful ability.


    Aldridge brags even more excitedly, but suddenly finds that the little friends in front of him all look weird, and Brady grins a grin.


    Aldridge, who closed his mouth with a suspicious expression, had not recovered, and suddenly someone jumped on his back behind him, strangled his neck, and a crisp female voice came from his ear.


    "My God, it''s really you, Aldridge! How come you still come to such a place? Don''t you already live in a mansion and wear a suit now?"


    Aldrich felt two **** of soft meat on his back. Although he was separated by clothes, he still had a wonderful touch. The arm that strangled his neck was smooth and soft, and a scent of fragrance ran into his nose.


    In an instant, Aldridge knew who the man was on his back, and he turned his backhand behind him and squeezed **** the man''s full buttocks.


    There was an exclamation in his ear, and the man jumped from Aldridge''s back. Aldridge turned around and saw the young girl wearing women''s sports casual clothes and hearty short hair, The delicate facial features form a pleasing look on the face of melon seeds.


    "Aldrich! You really changed, hooligan!"


    The girl bulged her cheeks and stared at Aldridge blushing, but there was no irritation in her eyes, but a touch of complex relief.


    Aldridge stepped forward and raised his hand to grab the girl¡¯s full chest. He laughed exaggeratedly: "Yi Wen, you have changed too! You are right, I am a hooligan!"


    Evan Lowell exuded youthful energy, she would not let Aldridge succeed, moved two steps to the side and made a face to Aldridge, said: "I heard that it was held at home on your birthday Party, hum, you are so rich now, it must be easy to play with supermodels?"


    Aldridge froze for a moment, then asked: "How do you know that my birthday party has been held?"


    Suddenly, Ewen was speechless, his expression slightly flustered, his eyes dodged: "Anyway, I just know."


    "I''ll get wine."


    Ewen hurriedly turned around and ran to the bar, Aldridge turned around and only heard Brady laugh: "On your birthday, she went to your house with the cake she made. Your mother said you haven''t come back, home. A lot of guests came, and she left the cake and left."


    "Huh? My family drove her away?"


    Aldrich wondered, he didn¡¯t think his family had become snobbish, not to mention Brady, Fred, Yiwen and so on. These young people have been the neighbors of the Hall family since childhood. Everyone lives in the same community, not only It¡¯s children, and adults also know each other.


    Brady shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You misunderstood, your mother kept her to stay, but you also know that the kind of high society party, we are not comfortable at all. Fortunately, you have not become that kind of person ."


    Aldridge smiled bitterly and did not know how to answer the question, saying that he will always be a little boy on the street?


    Yiwen returned with a beer, and she couldn''t see the pretending to be a lady in her body. In the past ten years, she was like a tomboy, mingling with these boys.


    "Aldrich, come with me for a revenge."


    Aldridge smiled and turned to poke his ass, then turned back and said with a smile: "If you have revenge, come casually, please don''t use too much force on your hand."


    "Screw you!"


    Ewen flew a foot to Aldridge''s ass, but fortunately Aldridge hid quickly...

 Chapter 28： Rich and powerful gangster

    Late at night, there were not many guests in Sand¡¯s bar. Aldrich, who had occupied the billiard table all night, put down the wine glasses, sat directly on the billiard table, smoked and chatted, and talked about the mess of childhood. Tears burst into my eyes as everyone made fun of each other.


    "How can you be the head coach? Now that your family is so rich, it is not enough to ask for a head coach."


    Brady spit out smoke and looked at Aldridge sitting opposite with a smile.


    "Oh, hasn''t he wanted to be a head coach since he was a kid? There is nothing strange about this."


    Ewen was sitting next to Aldridge, her petite little face was full of ruddy color, and her skimming mouth was quite touching and simple.


    "How about that? When he was a kid, he couldn''t afford the team."


    Fred said for granted.


    Aldrich didn¡¯t answer this question. He was ambitious. Sometimes he couldn¡¯t understand the choices of others. For example, in the football circle, Cantona¡¯s retirement, Beckham was far away from the mainstream league field, and the depravity of countless young stars. Wait, is it just money? It is difficult to have a popular explanation to understand all the reasons.


    Therefore, Aldrich does not intend to explain anything. When he has no money, he wants to make a fortune and become rich. When he has money to eat and wear, his ambitious ideals will reverberate in his mind. The whole world, Aldridge''s retreat is to be a rich kid waiting for death, but before his life fails, he always has to try it.


    When the bar was about to close, suddenly six or seven middle-aged men pushed open the bar door. After they walked in, they sat directly at the bar. Sander waved to let the guys go away. He took the cup out of his own, one by one. Pour them wine.


    Aldrich inadvertently saw the people sitting in front of the bar with various colors on their faces, but they did not care, drinking and talking, and unscrupulously telling the previous deeds.


    After listening for a while, Aldridge probably understood it. They blocked a few single Derbyshire fans in the alley after the match at Millwall in the afternoon.


    The man sitting in the middle is obviously their leader. The clothes are ordinary and the body is not burly, but the appearance gives a feminine feeling. The eyes staring at the person seem to be chilling.


    Drinking and smoking, this group of people was excited and got up and walked over to the pool table. The head of the person saw Brady and greeted them casually.


    It''s as if the elders saw the juniors at will.


    Aldridge jumped off the pool table and took the suit and walked out, followed by other friends.


    When passing by with the gang, Aldridge was suddenly pulled by his arm, the leader of the gang.


    He looked at Aldridge up and down. Aldridge pulled his arms back. The other side smiled in surprise: "Oh, boy, don''t be excited. You seem to be Aldridge Hall, right? ?"


    Aldridge replied coldly: "I am Aldridge. If you touch me again, I will break your hands."


    The middle-aged strong man raised his hands exaggeratedly, and laughed at the friends around him: "Oh, he is too nervous, as if we would **** him, ha ha ha."


    The friends around him didn''t expect that Aldridge would be such a big reaction, and even spoke threatening words.


    "Hey, Polk, forget it."


    Seeing that the atmosphere had become tense, Bradley was particularly cold, and he stared at the man opposite him very badly. What would happen to the unpleasant conflict, so he stood up and wanted to mediate.


    Aldridge reached out to stop Brady, he knew who the man opposite was.


    The organizer of BushWackers, Polk Greer.


    Aldridge doesn¡¯t like football hooligans, or people with normal and stable lives don¡¯t want to have a touch with hooligans.


    Polk lit a cigarette and smiled casually, then said to Aldridge: "Hey boy, I''m so glad you took over Millwall. You have done a good job recently and continue to cheer."


    He really looks like an elder encouraged the junior, Aldridge disgusted, sneered and sneered: "If you are less under the banner of Millwall and committing crime outside, I think I will be more happy."


    Hearing Aldridge¡¯s words, Polk looked a little cold and said lightly: ¡°Aldrich, I am not your enemy. We met for the first time. Why are you hostile to me? My father is Milwaukee. Fans, I have been since childhood, how old are you? But after taking over the club for three months, don¡¯t be too self-righteous."


    Aldridge was too lazy to sneer at him, sneered: "I tell you, the Millwall Club is mine now, I can let it fly to the sky, or let it disappear from London, but that is all my will, you What are you? I don¡¯t care if you are a fan or not, but if you discredit Millwall and cause damage to my property, not only can I get you out of East London, I can even send you to prison by hand, Polk. Greer, who do you think you¡¯re talking to? It¡¯s easier for the Hall family to pinch you to death than stepping on an ant! We are not only rich, but we used to live here, the street gangster set, can you afford it? Clown? !"


    Aldrich put his suit on his shoulder and turned to go.


    Nearly forty years old, Polk Greer and his companions all looked dumbfounded.


    Polk held Aldridge''s arm conditionedly, not intending to let him leave.


    But the next second.


    Aldrich grabbed the bottle on the table next to it and hit his backhand with his backhand!


    "FuckYou! Are you deaf? Can''t you hear what I just said? You scum, don''t stain my clothes!"


    Aldridge not only smashed a wine bottle directly on Polk¡¯s head, but also grabbed his neck with one hand and dragged him in front of him. The two were less than ten centimeters apart. Aldrich was handsome The face was icy, and he yelled aggressively in a low voice.


    Polk''s head was hit hard by the wine bottle, and his thoughts were a little confused.


    And Aldridge roared in front of him like a majestic beast.


    "Poker Greer! Fuck! Do you **** have a brain? You have children, you have a wife, you can be an unemployed nomad, but do you want your wife to be unemployed? Want the police to stare at you day and night Do you **** think I am a bastard? Do you dare to fight me back? As long as you dare to go to court to fight lawsuits, I will let you go bankrupt! Or do you blackhand me? Fuck! The Hall family will take care of your family Revenge! Polk Greer, you¡¯re done, you¡¯re done in your life, but you **** think about your own family and your children, don¡¯t let them fall into poverty, don¡¯t let your children become social like you The dross on it! You **** listen to me, don¡¯t let me see you anymore! How far can you roll me."


    After Aldridge roared, his face suddenly calmed down. He gently loosened his stupefied Polk, and then slowly tidied up the wrinkled T-shirt for Polk before turning around and walking towards the bar door.


    The people behind Polk rushed up, but Polk reached out to block them, and he shook his head slightly with his eyes closed, a complex face.


    As Aldridge said, football hooligans like them dare not challenge those rich families.


    Not to mention that they only have a pair of fists, the rich and powerful can be nailed to death only through formal legal channels.


    Brady, Fred, Yiwen and others opened their mouths slightly, staring dumbfoundedly at Aldrich just now. They had never seen Aldridge so sturdy.


    Who is Polk?


    That was a fierce man who was beaten and smashed with the BushWackers rogue group!


    Aldridge even hit a bottle on the other person''s head!


    When he followed Aldridge out of the bar, Brady didn''t know what he was thinking, was he wondering whether Polk''s head was hard enough? Or is the bottle too crisp?


    Anyway, the other person''s head is not bleeding...


    In the vast moonlight, Aldridge hooked the collar of his suit on his shoulders with one hand, holding a cigarette in the other, and walked toward the eastern suburbs with great thoughts. Yiwen followed his hands behind him, and his big eyes swept from time to time. His back.


    Aldridge is very helpless. The English football club depends on the community. This is an indisputable fact. The future Wimbledon is a typical example. The team moved away from the original community. The fans did not follow each other, but were established. A new team: AFC Wimbledon, even if it started from the seventh level league.


    In the mid-1980s, Mrs. Thatcher ordered a hard-hit football hooligan to clean up the football environment. This has been very effective for nearly a decade.


    However, due to Millwall''s league level, BushWackers gave the gap to prolonged breathing.


    The fight against football hooligans is also based on the league level. Especially after the establishment of the Premier League, this company-like alliance will naturally not hope that football hooligans ruin the brand value of the Premier League for commercial interests, but there are so many British police, and British games are concentrated on weekends, and more than 80% of the games are played at the same time period. It is conceivable that on the day of the game, most of the police will be sent to maintain the order of the Premier League teams.


    So the first to be hit hard is the football hooligan organization of the Premier League team, and then down, it will be the first league.


    But London is a place with many teams. There are many London teams in the Premier League alone, Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal, West Ham United, Crystal Palace, Queens Park Rangers, Wimbledon.


    London¡¯s police force is very difficult to maintain these games, and if it is a game with a Derby atmosphere, I am afraid that I will have to deploy police forces from other places to support. Under such a background, Millwall plays in the League One. Even if the football hooligan still exists, the London police are still overwhelmed.


    Suddenly stopped, Aldridge was a little tired. He came to the river embankment and sat down. He secretly said: He must be promoted to the Premier League next year!

 Chapter 29： Strong resistance

    London has a rare clear night sky, and Aldridge looks up at the bright sky of the stars.


    Brady and they went to buy a lot of drinks and snacks. Everyone sat on the floor and continued the happy gathering.


    Aldrich had already forgotten about people like Polk. He did not think his threats were mean and shameless. He seemed like a second-generation ancestor who bullied him. He didn¡¯t care. He preached the theory and morality with the rogue unless his brain was donated. kicked.


    Everyone chatted, Aldridge suddenly turned around and asked Brady: "Do you like Millwall?"


    The others shut their mouths and stared at Aldridge strangely, while Brady looked uncomfortable. They were just bloody, just chasing the fashionable and avant-garde age. It seemed that they simply like or dislike proclaiming it.


    "What''s wrong? Are you dumb? Does this question take a long time to think about?"


    Aldridge frowned slightly, at least he felt that he could chat with the hair and talk with his heart, and he didn''t need to fake a layer of disguised leather.


    Brady rolled his eyes and said, "I like it, my whole family likes it."


    They used to be a community, and the residents were basically fans of Millwall.


    Aldridge asked again: "Will you always like it in the future?"


    Eh?


    Yiwen covered goose bumps, and everyone else shivered.


    Aldrich''s question made people feel nauseous.


    Brady shook his head helplessly: "What the **** do you want to say?"


    "Come help me."


    Aldrich looked at Brady calmly, and the other side looked questioning and expressed incomprehension.


    "I want to establish an official fan organization approved by Millwall, and let a positive fan group with a positive image influence the club''s image."


    Brady was stunned, and no one expected that Aldridge would have such a thought.


    To be honest, if Aldridge personally builds such a fan organization, does not have the energy to mention it, but the official formation of the club, it is difficult to obtain the approval of the fan group, because there are conflicts and frictions between the football club and the fans, the most intuitive It is the ticket price.


    When it comes to money, there is never a balance.


    The club will always think that the ticket price is low, and the fans will always think that the ticket price is expensive.


    This question is worthless. There is no need to discuss it at all.


    Because of this conflict of interest, Aldridge cannot come forward, but he needs Millwall to have a benignly developed fan organization.


    Yi Wen patted his forehead and raised a corner of his mouth to show a beautiful smile, seeming to himself: "You always do this, what is in your head? Of course we will help you."


    Brady nodded firmly afterwards: "If this can help you, no problem, leave it to me."


    Aldridge stood up and smiled, put on his suit and prepared to go home, he asked Brady slyly: "Don''t you want to think about your future? That''s unpaid work."


    The cheerful Brady froze again, scratching his head and unable to catch up.


    Aldrich wrapped his shoulders and walked back, not going to tease him, and asked softly, "How much savings do you have?"


    Brady rubbed his hands awkwardly, shaking his head without saying a word.


    In addition to Aldridge, everyone else is still in college, savings? Just kidding, it would be nice if the parents gave a little bit of living expenses.


    Aldridge said naturally: "I borrowed you 20,000 pounds. My elder brother is recruiting funds. You take it. Do not take out the dividend after each investment cycle. Continue to invest. I want to wait for you after graduation from university. , There should be a guarantee of not working life."


    Brady, Fred, Yiwen and others all opened their mouths in surprise.


    The Hall family is a newcomer in the British financial industry, and their ROI is simply unmatched by their peers. Mo said that ordinary stock brokers want to catch the line of the Hall family, which is that many traditional commercial chaebols also have a strong interest in the Hall family. .


    "Eh? Do I have a copy?"


    Fred licked his face and leaned into Aldrich''s ear and asked, Aldridge nodded with a smile, then turned his head to everyone and said, "Everything is counted as yours, and I will borrow your capital."


    Originally, Barnett''s fund did not openly recruit investors. It was regarded as raising funds in the industry. In the end, it was cheaper for others. It would be better to let his friends take a slice of the cake.


    Although Aldrich doesn''t know much about the financial industry, he still knows the stocks, especially the well-known listed companies in the next two decades, which is naturally the first choice for investment, and he will not lose money.


    Yiwen hesitated slightly, she wanted to get rid of Aldridge''s generosity, but then swallowed back to her lips.


    If it refuses, it seems to be exogenous.


    "Brady, I think I can answer the question you asked me at the bar before. Why be a head coach? Because this is what I like and want to do, and too many people have lived most of their lives and don¡¯t know themselves What do you want to do. Remember Lennon?"


    Aldridge asked easily.


    "Remember, bullied us as a child, and later we blocked him in the toilet and beat him."


    Brady smiled in amusement.


    Lennon was three years older than them and was a neighbor of a community when he was young.


    They can''t play with Aldridge, but they have a good relationship with Aldrich''s second brother Andrew.


    Aldridge shrugged and said, "Lennon has been clamoring to grow up to be a singer when he was a kid, and he went to training when he was in school. Broker, Andrew wants to go to my elder brother¡¯s company to work. I sometimes want to ask him: What do you want to do in this life? Is it a singer or a manager or an investor?"


    Originally, Aldridge used a joking tone to say this, but he did not expect his voice to fall, but the surroundings calmed down, no one answered, and fell into a short-term silence.


    It seems that Aldridge''s words greatly touched the friends around him.


    ...


    After finishing the third round of the Premier League, Millwall won 10 goals and lost 0 goals in three games, which surprised everyone!


    But the mainstream media has no intention to focus on the second-level league in England, because the transfer deadline is less than a week before September. The transfer news of the Premier League is the focus of recent major newspapers.


    But Millwall''s strong performance has attracted the attention of opponents in the league.


    Three days later, in the fourth round of the Premier League in the midweek fast drive, Aldridge led the team to visit Bolton.


    Bolton has a strong record at home and is aiming to rush into the Premier League this season and is a direct competitor to Millwall.


    Probably because of Millwall''s strong momentum, Bolton played very conservatively at home. Millwall also continued Aldridge''s tactical idea of ??stabilizing the defense. The two sides achieved a 0:0 boring result in a 90-minute battle.


    After the fourth round of the league, Aldridge had no time to catch his breath, and rushed away to play Redding four days later.


    When the fifth round of the Premier League ended, Reading''s home score was set at 0:0, and Millwall scored two consecutive games in the third game within 8 days, shaking hands again with his opponent.


    After the fifth round, Millwall slipped from the standings and was overtaken by Middlesbrough with four wins and one loss.


    With the buffer of two consecutive draws, the strength since the Millwall League was unveiled seems to have been sniped, and the dark horse has faded a little.


    But Aldridge didn''t see it that way. He even left Berkshire where Redding was in happily. In the five-round league, Millwall conceded 0 goals. His defensive performance made him ecstatic.


    Southgate has a general demeanor on the back line, and Stumturam is brave, even Lucas under the age of 18 has such a tough temperament, and Makelele is already in the back. The position has been adjusted steadily, and the performance of the league has been stable for several rounds.


    After returning to London, Aldridge still had no time to rest. Although there was no Premier League in the middle of the week, the second round of the League Cup came as scheduled.


    He sent a full bench to meet his opponent.


    This opponent is no stranger to Birmingham, the opponent of the preseason warm-up match!


    In the pre-season warm-up match, Millwall failed to win opponents at home. The League Cup is both tasteless for the two teams who are aiming to upgrade, so at the Lions Stadium, the two parties gave the fans an extremely unrestrained the match of!


    Solskjaer, Phillips, Barak locked the score at 3-1 in the first half, Dean Richards added icing on the corner in the second half, and Millwall defeated the Lions Stadium 4:2 The visiting Birmingham successfully broke into the third round of the League Cup.


    A month later, Millwall will be the guest of Newcastle United. When he learned that the opponent in the third round was Newcastle United in the Premier League, Aldridge knew that the journey of the Millwall League Cup was coming to an end. He did not intend to let The main lineup to fight hard with the third place of the Premier League last season, that will disrupt his plan.


    On the weekend, Millwall struggled to defeat visiting West Brom at home. After two consecutive draws, Millwall once again found the feeling of victory.


    However, after the final whistle sounded, Aldridge clearly saw the guys on the court looking a little frustrated.


    This game against West Brom made them feel powerless and tortured.


    West Brom last season ranked fourth in the Premier League, relegated one step away, and there is no sign of recovery this season. They came to the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium and played a negative tactic of shrinking defense. If it was not Schneider passed directly in the second half The free kick broke the opponent''s door, I''m afraid West Brom can really take away a point.


    It¡¯s reasonable for the players on the court to be discouraged. Their offense is only a five-man team, and even Nedved rarely wanders at the front of the penalty area. With only two forwards and double forwards, there is no reason to break the goal. original.


    The players were not interested when they left the field, and Aldridge quickly entered the player channel after shaking hands with the West Brom coach.


    Aldridge, who was watching the schedule in his office the next day, seemed absent-minded. Three days later, his team was going to play the midweek league, and it was also a guest game. The intensity of the game has been too great recently. How about 46 league games?


    When he was hesitating whether to make the next stage of the team''s transformation, the head of the medical department, Mr. Thompson, knocked on the door of Aldridge''s office.

 Chapter 30： Who is lazy, who am I beating

    Since taking over the Millwall club in the summer, Aldridge has been almost dizzy almost every day. He completed the team''s major blood exchange within two months and pushed down and rebuilt a new team.


    After the start of the season, he worked diligently on the training of the first team on weekdays, especially the tactical exercises he carefully manipulated. Even at night, he would bury his head in the work of studying opponents¡¯ data, but this is only the work of the first team. He will also watch the home games of the reserve team and the youth team. This is a signal that he serves as the head coach to the substitute players.


    He didn¡¯t want people such as Barack, Fanny, Gattuso, etc. to mistakenly think that buying them to Millwall was just indiscriminate, so Aldridge was present in person when the reserve team and the youth team played at home, just to let them understand that the club treated them. Of importance.


    Usually after the end of the game, Aldridge¡¯s players are free when training. They will also chat with these players based on their performance. They are not long-winded and point to the end of the supervision.


    It was this subtle effort that gave Aldridge a clear position in the hearts of the players: the head coach!


    The next day is about to embark on an away league game that drives fast in the middle of the week. Aldridge wears coach sportswear by the training ground to discuss things with Jenson.


    "So serious? Six people recommend resting?"


    Jenson opened his mouth exaggeratedly, and then said with a lip: "Will it be too exaggerated? Our players seem to be in good physical condition. Recently, the game is a little bit more, but we gritted our teeth and insisted. We will play again in the next seven days. With two games, you can rest for a whole week."


    Aldridge looked at the players on the training ground with his arms in his eyes and murmured: "Larsen came to the team to report after participating in the World Cup. Trezeguet came to the United Kingdom in less than two months. Lucas also returned Less than eighteen years old, Piray, Schneider and Makelele have all played in the past six rounds. Dr. Sampson suggested that they rest, I think it makes sense. You are right, bite Keep your teeth clenched and you may be able to survive the next two games in the next seven days, but Dr. Sampson convinced me with a metaphor."


    "Huh? What analogy?"


    "Spring. The body''s fatigue load is like a spring that slowly presses down. If you can''t combine work and rest and rest properly, then press the spring down little by little. When the limit is reached, the force of the spring''s rebound will explode to the body. The destruction of the limit, and every time the limit rebounds, the spring will be weakened. Then, the next time the limit is pressed, the spring may be crushed."


    After Aldridge finished speaking, Jenson opened his mouth slightly and said incredulously, "Is he alarmist?"


    Aldridge lowered his head and smiled, "He is an expert in sports medicine, who doesn''t listen to him, who listens to it? Moreover, I said, he has convinced me, in the long run, I also hope that the players can have a healthier Longer career."


    Jenson understood that Aldrich¡¯s intentions were decided, and he frowned: "If the six main players are not on the field, the substitute players will be fine, but it''s just the position of Makelele, I''m afraid Vieira..."


    Jenson¡¯s brain has turned quickly. Two forwards can be replaced with Phillips and Solskjaer from the bench. There are Glenchar and Beckham on the two sides. The full-back can go to Zambrotta. It''s just that the key position of the defensive midfielder, neither Vieira nor Gattuso, can replace Maclele, whose performance is stable and amazing.


    "Don¡¯t think about it. Instead of using the half-main half-substitute lineup, I would rather have a full replacement. The main eleven stay in London for a break. Tomorrow we will take the replacement lineup to visit Tranmere. Oh, if the bench list is not enough, from The reserve team will draw two or three people to come up."


    Jenson looked at Aldridge in astonishment. The young man was really acting unexpectedly!


    If a few main forces have to rest, they will simply be gone!


    But Jensen''s thoughts quickly became clear, and agreed with Aldridge''s approach.


    The entire first-team player teamed up in less than two months. The main lineup and the bench lineup are also clearly divided in training. The team has different tacit understanding.


    The sudden combination of Vieira and Nedved into a new midfielder is not necessarily an effect equal to or greater than one plus one.


    As Nedved is an excessive bridge in the midfield, he may not be able to form a tacit understanding with Beckham and Glenshire.


    Rather than take a series of uncertain factors to the away game, it is better to let the bench lineup to train, so that a large-scale rotation will make the remaining half of the bench players unhappy.


    When the players are depressed on the court, if they can''t win the ball, why ask for it?


    Jenson deeply admired Aldridge''s courage and free and easy, and every point in the league will be contested, but Aldridge seems to really not value points.


    Looking at the back of Aldridge towards the training ground, Jenson sighed: Perhaps as you said, after these players have matured, the password to victory will naturally be in their hands.


    The training in the morning was coming to an end. Aldridge came to the training ground to clap his hands, attracted the players to his eyes, and watched the players sweat, Aldridge spoke softly.


    "The eleven players who started in the last league will not be used for training in the afternoon. You stay in the hotel. Dr. Thompson will arrange you for restorative training in the afternoon. Also, you will take a rest tomorrow. The remaining players will come as usual in the afternoon. Here, I will announce tomorrow''s starting list and tactical arrangements in the afternoon. Do you have any questions?"


    The players were a little ignorant after listening.


    Southgate wondered: "Boss, are we not going to play away tomorrow? Not even on the spot?"


    Aldridge smiled: "Well, Dr. Thompson suggested that you rest, I will give you a holiday, you can accompany your family, you can find friends to go shopping, but I hope you understand that the holiday is to restore your physical fatigue, Rather than letting you indulge, we still have the league in five days. If any of you are not able to recover to the satisfaction of Dr. Sampson, please go to the bench."


    Earlier I heard that I went to the hotel to find Dr. Thompson in the afternoon.


    They like Dr. Thompson very much, because the doctor will arrange a masseur to give them a muscle massage, which makes them feel very comfortable, plus they can take a bath or swim in the hotel, which is really comfortable.


    Among the hotels where the team is staying, the only thing that dissatisfied the players is probably a light and tasteless diet.


    However, after hearing the holiday tomorrow, the eleven of the main eleven were shocked in a conditioned reflex, thinking that Aldridge was dissatisfied that they had only had a difficult victory in the past three games.


    But after listening to Aldridge, they suddenly realized that this is a combination of work and rest.


    Even though the main goalkeeper Keller, midfielder Nedvide and Southgate all felt that they had no problem with their physical fitness, but when thinking about the 46-round schedule of the Premier League, they also accepted Aldridge''s arrangement.


    As for the players who were originally on the bench, they were ecstatic. There was no match between the reserve team and the youth team in the middle of the week. They could only redouble their hard training. They did not expect happiness to come too suddenly.


    Although they have played in the two rounds of the League Cup, the opponents are the third and fourth tier teams. In terms of strength, the opponents in the Ligue 1 are more challenging. They are eager to try and want to show one in the League. Fan, tell the head coach that they are not worse than the eleven main players and have the strength to occupy a seat in the Premier League.


    After the team disbanded, they returned to the hotel collectively. After lunch, they took a nap. After arriving at the training ground in the afternoon, Aldridge noticed that he had neglected something.


    Who is the captain of Millwall going to the away game tomorrow?


    Aldridge remembered this: the three team captains are in the main lineup.


    In the previous two rounds of the League Cup, Millwall''s captain on the field was Solskjaer. At least he was a substitute for the main lineup. No one in the senior lineup can doubt it.


    But the Cup is different from the league after all. With this bench lineup, it is likely to be in the Premier League again in the future when the schedule is tight. It requires a real team leader that is different from the temporary captain.


    In the afternoon, there were only 15 first-team players on the training ground, and 11 others remained in the hotel.


    They stood on the training ground full of vitality, waiting for Aldridge to arrange training in the afternoon. More, they still expected Aldridge to arrange tactics to deal with tomorrow''s game.


    But they found that the head coach walked back and forth in front of them when they came to the training ground.


    The players'' eyes moved from left to right, and then from right to left, and they were all anxious!


    Old God Aldridge was pacing back and forth endlessly, slightly lowering his head to reflect on military events.


    Of these eleven, the first-team substitutes were first ruled out by Aldridge, Dean Richards, Zambrotta, Bout, Barak, Solskjaer, Phillips, Glennshire.


    Because these replacements are likely to fill the main lineup because of the main injury, they may not be on the field when the replacement lineup is rotated for the game.


    The remaining options are not many, Beckham and Neville are directly excluded, then Vieira and Materazzi are left.


    Aldridge suddenly stopped, took the captain''s armband from his pocket, and walked to the tall Tall Matrazzi. Under the eyes of the other party, Aldridge dropped the captain''s armband to him.


    Materazzi surprisedly took the captain''s armband and confused, "Boss? Hmm?"


    He glanced at Solskjaer at the same time. In the previous League Cup, the captain was Solskjaer. Why is it now in his own hands?


    Aldrich said casually: "If any of the main strikers are injured or suspended, Ole is definitely the first choice for replacement, so as a backup lineup, you need a new captain, Marco, from today, you are the team The fourth team leader, I don¡¯t ask if you are competent, you tell me, if you want to, can you fulfill the duties of the team leader?¡±


    The characteristics of the young Materazzi are very distinctive, fierce and fierce, and the physical quality of the central defender is nothing to say, plus he started to practice from the Italian regional leagues at a very young age. , I am afraid of temper and speed.


    Aldridge hopes to become the captain of Materazzi to be more stable, as long as he has the idea of ??focusing on team responsibility in his mind, it will be a good help for his growth.


    Materazzi grinned and put the captain''s armband into his pocket very politely, and smiled at the teammates around him: "From today on, I am the captain, who is training lazily, not desperate on the field, I''ll beat anyone!"


    There was a lot of laughter around, and Aldridge smiled.

 Chapter 31： Smashed

    The following day, as guest of Tranmere, Odri?''s team suffered the first defeat of the league!


    Before coming, Aldridge and the entire coaching staff were very relaxed.


    In the plan, the second round to the eighth round of the league, that is, the seven games before the FIFA match day, Aldridge''s goal is to be at least seven undefeated, and the score can be satisfied with seven points.


    In the past five rounds, Millwall has scored three wins and two draws and scored 11 points.


    The most important thing is that in the first six rounds of the league, Millwall has not missed a goal, the team''s defensive system framework has been successfully constructed, and in this round of the bench lineup, Audridge does not value the game results, as long as the bench players can get Exercise is enough to allow him to see the progress of the players.


    However, in this round of away game, Millwall met the home team dragon in the First Division: Tranmere.


    Aldridge really missed the pre-season outlook.


    He didn''t regard Tranmere as an overtaking opponent, but Tranmere showed a terrible situation in the first six rounds of four home games this season, winning in four games!


    Both away but lost.


    Tranmere¡¯s fighting power at home made Aldridge quite afraid of platoon formations. Even when he played away at 4411, Solskjaer retreated as a second forward and two full-backs Beckham. The first task with Glenn Charles was defense, Barack midfielder, Vieira dragged on.


    It was such a defensive formation that had a turbulent and stormy attack on the home field of Tranmere, who was very ups and downs at home.


    Tranmere had 25 hits in the game, 10 hits in the goal range, and Millwall had fewer shots than half of the opponent.


    The final result was 2:1, Millwall suffered the first league defeat!


    Aldrich did not feel disappointed in his heart, but felt that he was within expectation.


    In all fairness, Glenshire, Zambrotta, Barack, Beckham, Neville, Vieira, and even Solskjaer and Butt had little professional league experience before this year.


    If a group of young people with no talent and experience can play the home team in the Premier League, then the professional league is too challenging.


    The two consecutive victories in the League Cup are due to opponents not paying attention, including the fact that the opponent does not play at full strength, Millwall has the advantage of playing at home and so on.


    Only Amir lost to Tranmere on the road, Aldridge felt that the purpose of training was achieved, let these players feel the atmosphere of the field, familiar with the rhythm of the game, although they lost, they gained valuable experience.


    But after the game, the visiting team''s locker room was smashed by Materazzi...


    The first time he put on the captain''s armband to play, he eventually failed to win, and he didn''t even get a draw. The grumpy Materazzi didn''t blame his teammates, but he was very unwilling and returned to the locker room after the game. Can''t help turning the already shabby visiting dressing room into ruins.


    Aldridge was interviewed in the mixed zone after the game, and the good-looking reporters embarrassed him with all kinds of harshness.


    "Millwall came here on the bench to challenge Tranmere. Isn''t he underestimating the enemy? Is it unbeaten in the first six rounds that makes you think you can easily win all games?"


    "Tranmere accuses Millwall of dirty play. Materazzi should be sent off in the first half. Do you agree with this view?"


    ...


    After losing the ball, Aldridge did not lose his breath in the face of the interviews with reporters. He just smiled and said that Tranmere had a strong fighting ability at home and was the best team in the Premier League at home.


    He never said anything about his team, only whether Materazzi''s fierce defensive action should be sent off. He replied carelessly: "Here is the United Kingdom, I think Materazzi''s performance is in line with The standard of the English defender, if he is fouled in every move, then the Premier League central defender can only play more than ten times a season and should be suspended at other times."


    The journalists who fueled the fire did not make Aldridge angry, even if they lost the ball, they still maintained their demeanor.


    Otherwise, what can happen?


    After losing the ball and then losing face and demeanor, Aldridge would not do such a loss-making transaction.


    After rushing to the interview and returning to the visiting team''s locker room to take the team away, Aldridge found that the players and coaches had already left, leaving only Materazzi to sit on the bench in a daze.


    Looking at the smashed door in the visiting team''s locker room and the wood debris falling on the floor, Aldridge slowly walked over to sit next to Materazzi.


    Today his performance is good, which is recognized by Aldridge.


    Repeatedly penetrated the defense by Tranmere, mostly from the empty side of Neville and Zambrotta, coupled with the decline in the backcourt interception, the responsibility of the rear defense to fall into the passive is not on the two central defenders.


    "Lost, unhappy?"


    "Should I be happy?"


    Materazzi was uncomfortable and his voice was very low.


    Aldridge whispered: "I''m very happy. Because I saw the results of the training in the past two months, Marco, today you performed, I will give you nine points, full score is very ten. This is professional football, not playing games, You can¡¯t expect a team whose average age is less than 20 years old to become invincible in less than three months of formation. On the way to becoming the strongest team, there must be failure, but just do When every failure is a better failure, then this means that we are making progress."


    Materazzi felt a little better, and nodded slightly.


    "I know why you are unhappy. Losing is part of it, and part of it is self-esteem and face. After all, you are the captain. However, you are the captain, you can¡¯t be so depressed, you have to lift your chest, you have to tell by action. Teammates: Today we lost, and we did not lose injustice, but next time, we will win squarely."


    Aldridge said lightly that there was no coaching at all, and it was more like chatting with friends and admonishing Matrazzi.


    With a chuckle, Materazzi turned his head to look at Aldridge and asked, "Boss, I am nine points today, what about the others?"


    Aldridge pouted: "Richards had eight points, Bute had nine points, two forwards had seven points, two full-backs had six points, two midfielders had seven points, and two full-backs had seven points."


    Except for the performances of Beckham and Glenchard that made Aldridge barely satisfied, the progress of the others is very obvious. Aldrich''s reasonable evaluation of a slightly better one is reasonable.


    Materazzi spread his hand and said: "Boss, aren''t you happy? Why no one gets full marks?"


    Aldrich stood up and stretched, looking back and smiling slyly: "I only tell you that one person will never get me a full score of ten, which means I will never be satisfied with your performance, you There is still room for improvement. For the full score, no matter how good the performance is, let me continue to work hard."


    Materazzi screamed with wide eyes: "Are you a fox?"


    Aldridge smiled and waved, "What I don''t matter, the key is what you are, I hope you are like the lions on the Millwall team''s badge! Well, don''t be damsel, get up, leave, don''t you Still want to live here?"


    Materazzi picked up his coat and put it on his body. He walked out of the door and hesitantly glanced at the messy visiting team locker room. The staff of Tranmere outside stared at him somberly.


    "Boss, this?"


    Aldridge waved his head without looking back, saying: "Don¡¯t worry, if Tranmere wants compensation, wait for them to fax the list of compensation to the club, then say, hundreds of thousands of pounds, deducted from your weekly salary, we It¡¯s all the guys. If you smash it, you will smash it. If you lose some money, don¡¯t worry."


    Materazzi smiled and raised an eyebrow at the Tranmere Club staff who blushed in the corridor with a thick neck.


    The staff of Tranmere¡¯s club are all crooked!


    Oh shit!


    Looking at the young handsome suit and leather shoes like a literary man, I did not expect Wow did not expect, actually indulged the player to smash the visiting team locker room!


    Bright and hooligan!


    They are even more entangled in whether to fax a list of compensation to the Millwall Club.


    A door in the guest locker room plus a cabinet chair is not worth much.


    Do you really want to ask for hundreds of pounds?


    Who is stingy in the end?


    Who lost it?


    Ugh!


    Several staff members watched Materazzi and Audridge leave, with the same voice in mind: hurry up!


    After boarding the departing bus, Materazzi apologized in public with his teammates. He just moved a little too far in the locker room. Those who do not know him, I am afraid he is dissatisfied with his teammates.


    Aldridge didn''t worry about it. When he got on the bus, he applauded the players and expressed his satisfaction with their performance today.


    It¡¯s not a big deal to lose, and it¡¯s not necessary to scold the player if you lose.


    They are on the road to progress, and no one is lazy or against tactics on the field, which is enough.


    Back in East London, Aldridge put the defeat behind him and started the next round of the game, playing against Burnley at home.

 Chapter 32： England everywhere

    As the sun went down, Aldridge whistled in the afterglow, and he kept shouting at the players on the training ground for short pass cooperation.


    "Robert, don''t wait for the ball in place! Run out of space! The stadium is big, do you want to dance in place?"


    "Lucas, push up, do you see Claude''s position? You take another step forward, and blocked Michael''s shot!"


    "Pavel, there is no good line in front of you. When you are caught, don''t blindly break through, split the ball to the sides or pass back! As the core of the midfield, your first task is not to throw the ball away. If you pass the ball wrong, it will be fatal!"


    ...


    The players on the training ground sweated and worked hard under the supervision of Aldridge to ensure that everything he requested was perfect.


    When the training ended, Aldridge disbanded the team without much nonsense, and he and the coaching staff colleagues picked up the **** on the training ground one by one and put them away.


    After everything was done, the sky gradually dimmed, and Aldridge came to light a cigarette under the shade of the tree, and Jenson leaned in, curiously found Aldridge frowning, as if there was an unsustainable worry hidden in it. Between hearts.


    "What''s wrong? Are you happy? We won the day before yesterday. Five wins, two draws and one loss in the first eight rounds. We are the top team in the standings."


    Aldrich scratched his head and sighed: "I''m thinking about whether I should release the team''s offensive ability. But I''m a little worried that the newly established defensive system will collapse."


    Two days ago, before the arrival of FIFA match day, Millwall won Burnley at home 2:0. The victory of this ball was not dazzling. Millwall created few opportunities. But all grasped.


    In the face of a passively defensive team or a solidly defensive team, Millwall¡¯s chances of succeeding in counterattack sneak attacks are increasingly slim, and the offensive of the positional battle is slightly conservative, so the team¡¯s recent atmosphere Somewhat dull.


    Aldrich did not ask and knew that, like Piret, Schneider must hope to go deeper into the enemy''s hinterland to show his talents. Nedved, the iron man who can''t die, is also a large-scale activity from the restricted area to the restricted area.


    But Aldridge was hesitant.


    The main lineup has played seven games without losing a goal. Such a defensive effect is overwhelming. Aldrich believes that even with this conservative play, they are not stable at the end of the season. It is no problem to secure a championship and advance to the Premier League, at least to qualify for a play-off.


    But the players are obviously not satisfied, the young and dreamy players want to show more talent.


    Aldrich is not satisfied, offensive football is the trend of football, but defense is necessary to bring championships, he is just worried that this step forward will destroy the solid foundation of the past.


    The league has only passed eight rounds, not even one-fifth. Aldrich''s plan is to make the next adjustment when the league is over halfway, but the team''s suppressed atmosphere makes him face a choice at the moment.


    "I think we can give it a try. The training reports of the past two months show that at least the progress of the main lineup in team coordination and pass and catch coordination is obvious."


    Jenson said so.


    Aldrich nodded after thinking for a while. He knew that he did not have absolute authority on the team and won the game, but as long as something that made the players'' inner resistance happen, maybe he was only 18 years old. The head coach will have an irreparable rift with the players.


    "Mr. Hall, I have your phone!"


    The training staff shouted in the distance. Aldridge said goodbye to Jenson, walked back to his office and picked up the phone. He heard a familiar voice, which made him suddenly realize after a surprise.


    The professor is going far to Japan!


    Just outside the main entrance of the club, stood a slender middle-aged man, is the first firing career of Alsena Wenger.


    He gazed thoughtfully at the old club building of Millwall and seemed to be looking for something that would interest him.


    "Arsena!"


    Aldridge shouted at Wenger across the road, and Wenger turned around with a smile on his face.


    Already at dinner time, Aldridge asked Wenger to be a guest at his house.


    Barnett already lived in West London, and Andrew returned home only three to five times apart. Among the large villas, only Arthur and Amelia had a couple. When they saw Audric brought back a guest, they were very worried. happy.


    At the dinner table, Arthur solemnly thanked Wenger. At that time, Audridge went to school, and during his time in France, he also received some care from Wenger.


    After dinner, Aldridge invited Wenger to his study.


    "Monaco has had a poor record since the start of the season, so I''m out of class, but my luck is not bad, and the club has invited me to coach, Aldridge, you are so smart, can you guess where I will coach?"


    Despite Wenger''s relaxed tone, Aldrich could hear the bitterness of the words.


    After all, he left a club for five years.


    Where is his next stop?


    Of course, Aldridge knows that the Nagoya Whale of the Japan J-League.


    But he smiled and shook his head without knowing it.


    He knew that he didn''t have to be a prophet everywhere, but he didn''t do anything good except for him to show it.


    Moreover, he does not want to talk about this topic in depth. There are many reasons for Monaco¡¯s poor record. Among them, Aldridge¡¯s high price and high salary have poached back defender Thuram. It is also a factor.


    Wenger leaned back in his chair and said lightly: "I will go to Japan by the end of the month."


    After speaking, Aldridge didn''t answer, and Wenger looked at him questioningly, and asked, "Why? Are you not surprised at all?"


    Aldridge shrugged and whispered: "Well, I''m surprised, so I can''t speak."


    "Hypocritical! Forget it, talk about your team. I came to London this time, but I just wanted to see your team."


    Wenger held the hot tea and stared at Aldridge with a smile.


    Before he came, he didn''t expect that Aldridge''s team actually ranked first in the Premier League, although there is almost no gap with the team behind him, and even only rely on the advantage of the goal difference.


    But enough to surprise Wenger, after all, this is a newly formed team, and it is mainly young players, able to lose only one goal after eight rounds of games, this is absolutely inseparable from the coach''s strategy.


    Aldrich knows everything, and Wenger wants to talk about what he says, including his team building philosophy, tactical system, and even the club''s business vision beyond the scope of the head coach.


    But Millwall has always been the second-level team in the league, and the topic of the two eventually returned to the top Premier League arena.


    "I watched an England national team game at Wembley yesterday. Before the game, there was a phenomenon that made me feel incredible. Aldridge, why do people in this country seem to hate Manchester United so much? I used to understand Manchester United in France , It should be the most popular team in the UK."


    Wenger frowned, puzzled about the problem.


    Recalling the national team game yesterday in his mind, he sat quietly in the stands waiting for the game to start, but half an hour before the game, the Wembley Stadium''s stands repeated repeated singing.


    "If you hate Manchester United, then stand up!"


    As a result, in the repeating wave of singing, the fans all stood up in less than ten minutes!


    Aldridge laughed helplessly.


    "This question is complicated, but Manchester United is indeed the most popular team in the UK, so to speak, there are 22 teams in the Premier League. There are definitely many loyal fans in each team, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, etc. , But the base of fans in the UK is even larger. Those ordinary fans, fans watching TV at home, and fans without community football clubs will naturally like Manchester United. When the TV broadcast went into thousands of households, it was Pakistan. The splendid moment of the Spy Boys rebuilding the dynasty, coupled with the generation of England¡¯s top World Cup with Manchester United players as the core, so Manchester United has the largest number of fans in England."


    "The fans at Wembley hate Manchester United?"


    "Where is Wembley?"


    "London."


    "London fans almost hate Manchester United, there are more factors in it, including political factors. Manchester is absolutely loyal to the Queen. Economically, Manchester¡¯s once-worldly factory has gradually declined, but London is open and exaggerated. Traditional and cultural , Manchester is old-fashioned, London, huh, huh, this is the confrontation between cities, Alsena, you will understand all this in the future, just like Manchester and Liverpool are only half an hour away, but they are two very different cities. The hostile plot is more indescribable than the dead enemy."


    Wenger murmured: "Is this the birthplace of modern football?"


    In the 100-year history of British football, if football is just an ordinary sport or a game, it is impossible to develop and grow, nor is it enough to make football the most popular sport in Britain.


    Football is a war in a peaceful age.


    Behind it is the spark of passion that collides with politics, culture, tradition, economy, history, hearts and so on.


    Turning on the map of the United Kingdom, you can easily find the grudges and resentments that football has set off there.


    English football is never lonely, because it''s so smoky everywhere!


    Aldridge and Wenger talked about some of the current Premier League teams.


    The two consecutive Manchester United have no need to talk about it. The Reds Liverpool have long been famous in Europe. Leeds United and Newcastle United are flourishing. However, there is a team that Wenger and Aldridge have discussed for a long time.


    That was only last year''s Blackburn 4-point league runner-up behind Manchester United.


    This is a team with no foundation, and the population of the small town is only 100,000.


    But the speed of the rise in a short time is jaw-dropping.


    Aldrich is willing to talk about the reasons for this team, the most important thing is the future development of football trends.


    Golden Dollar Football!


    Who is the originator of the English dollar football?


    It''s definitely not Chelsea ten years later.


    It''s Blackburn!


    Iron Walker Jack Walker returned to his hometown and joined Blackburn, injecting 30 million pounds of capital into the club, which made the team that was unable to even pay for the game away on the road and even the train fare change, and had a shock to the championship throne. Strength.


    Ten million pounds may be just a transfer fee for a top star after ten years, but in the early 1990s, thirty million pounds was enough to turn a team of salted fish!


    Blackburn invited Liverpool King Dalglish to coach, and the team has sent a lot of first-class players, almost all players of the European national team level.


    Blackburn, who has been exposed, almost won the league title last season. The devil front formed by the team Alan Shearer and Chris Sutton is unstoppable. Last season, the UEFA Cup staged the elimination of the Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich. Good show.


    This is the impact of Jin Yuan on football, plus Bosman''s law is about to open a new era of football, the traditional football rules will undergo earth-shaking changes.


    Although Aldridge also brought Millwall a capital injection of 30 million pounds, but he may be difficult to continue his generous investment. To meet the needs of this football transformation period, Aldridge needs to plan a lot, many .

 Chapter 33： Look away and stupid

    While preparing for the next round of training, Audridge invited Wenger to visit Millwall''s training base.


    The training ground is lackluster, but Wenger greatly appreciates the indoor training hotel, modern sports and medical team plus scientific diet, meticulous intelligence gathering and tactical meeting room, etc. This was the first time Aldrich met Wenger many years ago. It was discussed in depth, and Aldridge realized it with his own hands.


    On the training ground, he refused to visit the training on weekdays. Wenger stood on the side of the court and watched quietly. Aldridge worked as usual, which puzzled the colleagues of the coaching staff.


    But no one talked about it, at least Wenger''s appearance would not make people think.


    Before today¡¯s group match started, Aldridge called the players and said: "We have performed well in the past two months. We have only lost two goals in the eight rounds of the league, but our goals have been in the most recent period. There seems to be a little less, so today''s training focus, the wing forward can try to break through the ball and add some new things to the offensive tactics."


    Aldrich''s words made Piley and Schneider shine.


    Before the team¡¯s training requirements were not much, the offensive players tried to get the ball in the frontcourt as far as possible. The ball should be handled concisely and clearly, and the cooperation should be continuously formed through the running position. The use of accurate ground transfer cooperation and Fast-paced to tear open the opponent''s defense, but it is still easier for football with a lot of offense and defense tactics.


    Personal breakthrough is essential in football. People talk about the cooperation of "ball pass goal" really easy to become a classic, but such goals are not every one, and in the process of making goals , Personal breakthroughs are a link with a large proportion.


    Aldridge''s previous suppression of the wing break was just to lay the foundation for the defensive system, because the wing break is not just a player from the wing closer to the bottom line and the restricted area, it will inevitably affect the entire offensive system and press forward. Before the offensive, the pressure on the defense will be huge if it cannot be recovered in time.


    To allow the team''s offense and defense to be freely collected, Aldridge could not let go at the beginning to let the players play freely, find a feeling in the process of contraction, first familiarize themselves with the mode and state of defense, and then a little bit Release offensive, this is his overall thinking to transform the team.


    First-team coaches Torop and Craig took tactical drawings to explain simple tactics to players.


    For example, the line of the side pass, find the back point of the 45-degree cross, find the front point of the bottom pass, how the two forwards should position on the line of the wing player, cover and involve.


    Tactics are always rigid, and they must be tailor-made to meet their own needs.


    Millwall''s striker is fast and has a good sense of smell in the penalty area. Naturally, the side attack will serve them.


    Probably the rich offensive tactics today, the players are very interested. After the coaches succinctly explained, they rubbed their hands into two sides and started the match.


    Aldridge walked to the other side of the training ground and stood next to Wenger. At this moment Wenger was watching the players on the training ground intently.


    After more than half of the match, Aldridge asked softly, "How?"


    Wenger exhaled, turning his head to nod to Aldrich: "Although they are young, they have great potential. Aldrich, your eyes make me admire."


    Although there are not many skilled players on the field, it is precisely to make up for such shortcomings. Aldridge¡¯s team play is very simple. The ball runs quickly under the player¡¯s feet and does not need fancy moves, as long as it is tacitly short. Passing is enough, and then constantly running to form a cooperation.


    Although it was only a short game, Wenger has seen that the future of the players on this training ground is unlimited.


    In the next few days, the training enthusiasm of the players is very high. After all, they can be more active in the offensive, which makes them completely explode after suppressing the offensive factor for a long time.


    In the ninth round of the Premier League, Millwall sat at the Lion''s Cave Stadium and ushered in a weaker: Luton.


    It is precisely because the opponents are not strong in this round that Aldridge finally made up his mind to try to release the offense tactically.


    As always, Aldridge will not talk about tactics in the locker room before the game, but just stimulate the team''s fighting spirit and leave the locker room.


    He deeply understands that the shorter the time from the start of the game, the more tactics are given to the players, and the less the effect is, it will only make the players nervous, how to play the game, prepare for it one day in advance, it is not necessary before the game starts It is only annoying to raise the player''s ears.


    The Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium was full and Aldridge¡¯s team had won the affirmation of the fans. In the stands today, not only did Wenger watch the game, but also a group of young guys pulled up a banner that read: ¡°Like Milwaukee Oh, then roar out! We are lions roar!"


    The young people holding such banners are Brady, Fred, and Ewen.


    They were young and wearing Millwall¡¯s traditional dark blue jerseys standing in the south stands, and their seats, Audridge opened the back door for them, and fifty tickets were given to Brady according to the seat, which made Brady in In just one week, the fan organization ¡°Lion Roar¡±, which pulled up nearly a hundred members, was neatly aligned in the stands and became a unique scenery on the court.


    Aldrich is accustomed to the behavior of fans in the stands looking for his signature when he enters the field. Occasionally, he is patted on the shoulder to cheer him up, or praise him or something.


    Unlike usual, after the game started, instead of standing on the sidelines, Aldridge sat on the coach seat and looked at the game lightly on the court.


    From the beginning of the game, cheers continued to sound from the stands.


    Millwall''s home record is also a home dragon, which makes fans happy to cheer on the team and cheer for the team. For ordinary people who have worked hard for a week, there is nothing more than shouting and singing indulgently on the court. It''s even more fun.


    But after the game started, the situation on the field was very tight.


    Luton''s overall combat strength is not strong, and he did not shrink his defense when he came to the Lion''s Cave Stadium. The main problem was Millwall''s offense.


    Aldridge couldn''t help but looked at the coach''s seat of the visiting team. The opponent''s head coach was also sitting. There was a baffle blocking the line of sight. Aldrich couldn''t see the other''s expression clearly. Fan Kung Fu.


    Millwall attacked Nedved in the middle, but in the past game, Nedved did not go deep into the opponent''s penalty area, mainly doing the middle road transition work, so the two sides, Schneider and Pires is the starting point of the attack and a threatening part of Millwall''s attack.


    Because of this, Luton''s two full-backs stared at the two from the start of the game.


    Almost like a pair in a chess game.


    And Piret and Schneider, who were allowed to pass by Aldridge, seemed to be overjoyed. There were some tricks in this game. The first action after receiving the ball was passing, passing, passing. ...


    After the opponent broke the ball twice and three times in a row, this situation was even more serious!


    By the 30th minute of the first half, even the fans in the stands could see that as long as Schneider and Piley took the ball, the next move would definitely be extraordinary!


    The two did not eat the speed and explosive power of their opponents, want to pass the defensive rough England defender with their foot skills? And it''s when the other person sees through you that you will be better?


    This is too much to show the other person!


    Just treat your opponent as a stake!


    "Do you want to remind them?"


    Jenson whispered in Aldrich''s ear.


    He is rather strange. The reason why Millwall''s offense is blocked can be seen by ordinary fans. Isn''t it because the two wing players just took the ball and wanted to be extraordinary?


    But Aldridge always sat calmly, and showed no signs of getting up to the sidelines.


    Aldrich shook his head and said, "It''s no use shouting now. Give them a calm period, at halftime."


    Wenger in the stands felt a bit exaggerated what he said to Aldridge a few days ago.


    At least Millwall''s two wingers on the field now feel like he''s looking away.


    Pires and Schneider, who swayed freely in training, played terribly badly on the court!


    But he is even more curious: what will Audric do?


    Scold these two players at halftime?


    Replacement?


    Or tell them not to try again?


    The unwatchable first half ended in the referee whistle, the fans in the stands were a little discouraged, and many people were drowsy.


    Millwall looks less threatening than before.


    In the first half, he only had a two-footed shot. The two forwards were not supported and were invisible at the end of the first half.


    Aldridge returned to the locker room without changing the tactical layout, but only plotted the positions of several Luton players on the tactical board, and told the team''s defense to pay attention to the opponent''s position.


    Before the second half came out, after Aldridge and other players walked out, he purposely stopped Schneider and Piret. The three were dragged in the end, and Aldridge was in the middle of them, hugging them from left to right. Neck.


    The two players calmed down after a half-time break, and they both understood that they had a mess in the first half and could not lift their heads.


    Earlier I complained that the boss did not give them a chance to show their breakthrough ability.


    Well, the boss allows you to kick like a joy, but in the end it kicks like that bird.


    Ashamed!


    Nowhere to let myself go!


    "You two were really tired in the first half."


    "Ok?"


    Piray and Schneider raised their heads in surprise, looking at Aldridge''s face in close proximity, slightly dazed.


    Really tired?


    Isn''t it smelly? Really bad?


    Aldridge rolled his eyes and said faintly: "Fools can see that you must be superior after taking the ball. What is the best defender''s defense? Physical? No, it is a pre-judgment! Well, you two tell the opponent directly What should I do, do I still need to prejudge? It is too simple to guard you."


    Piray and Schneider lowered their heads again.


    "The tactics remain the same, except that you have to change the rhythm. Listen to me. You do this on the court. After receiving the pass from your teammates, you pass it three to five times and then try again. Break through once, do you understand? After you have accumulated more experience, the biography should be superior, it can almost be done subconsciously, now use this stupid method first."


    After Aldridge finished speaking, he let go of the two players and patted their backs to let them play.

 Chapter 34： Professor, goodbye to the Premier League!

    Before the start of the second half, the stands were slightly depressed, and the dull game of the first half made the audiences uncomfortable.


    But there was a neat applause from the South Stand.


    Brady took the same young fan organization "Lion Roar" and fifty people uniformly patted his palm twice, and then raised his palms in unison, shouting in unison: "Milwall!"


    Papa, Millwall!


    Papa, Millwall!


    Unconsciously, this momentum spread through the stands and spread to every Millwall fan.


    Even the broadcast footage swept through the stands, and the narrator said in surprise: "Maybe we are used to Millwall''s restless stands and hot cheering, but at this moment, we saw the most rustic side of their fans. There is a voice here That resounds through the sky, that is: Millwall!"


    The players who had already walked to the field and were waiting for the kick-off in the second half listened to the cheering sound lingering in their ears, and a flame rose in their hearts, and finally swept the whole body into an endless fighting spirit. Larsen and Te Reze Gaiang''s head looked dignified, and his eyes were filled with mutual encouragement.


    Aldridge came to the coach''s seat and, although expressionless, he had both appreciation and gratitude to Brady.


    The present scene is a good start.


    In the cheering of Zhen Tian, ??the referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the second half of the game.


    Millwall kicked in first, and after the ball was passed back, the players opened the offensive posture.


    The ball fell back and forth in the middle and backcourts and then returned to the foot of Nedved who ran out of space in the middle and frontcourts.


    In the right-hand midfield position, Nedvide turned the ball and passed the ball to the right without hesitation.


    Schneider set the edge, and the dead Luton defender who had eaten him in the first half had also posted it. The opponent''s face was obviously confident.


    Judging from his movements, Schneider is planning to complete the steal at the moment when Schneider prepares to turn the ball, which was uncomfortable in the first half!


    A very important part of close defense is to get familiar with the opponent¡¯s idiomatic feet and force the opponent to use non- idiomatic feet. The higher level is to suppress the opponent¡¯s active area. For example, if a player likes to go to the bottom, then seal the route of the bottom. The player who is good at inscribing will push the opponent to the bottom line.


    Luton''s full-back is now only going to wait for Schneider''s right foot to stop the ball and turn around to adjust the rhythm of the empty space when it appears to stretch the ball and destroy the ball.


    Schneider faced the opponent''s full-back and faced the ball from the side and back. He did extend his right foot. It looks no different from the first half. Luton''s defender who came up to steal also stretched out. Feet, but stunned to see that Schneider did not stop the ball, and then knocked the ball back to the direction of Nedved in the middle.


    Luton''s defender was shocked when he failed to get back, and the action was not recovered. Schneider rushed past him after he kicked the ball. He turned back to chase, and he was behind two positions. Two meters away from him, he rolled diagonally in the direction of the corner flag.


    This is a very simple two-to-one cooperation.


    But after the Luton full-back made the mistake of snatching up, he gave Schneider a blockbuster.


    Millwall''s offensive team was active in the frontcourt. Pire on the left ran straight to the back of the penalty area. Trezeguet moved to the center of the penalty area and took away the defending central defender. Larson moved from the left side of the penalty area to the right. Running sideways, the central defender behind him couldn''t catch up!


    Schneider rolled the ball to his side after coming to the edge of the bottom line, but did not stop the ball. He directly passed the low-level pass and found the point before the penalty area!


    This is the offensive routine that they have been practicing in the past few days, and they are completely executed one by one.


    After Trezeguet screened for Larson''s running position and opened the defensive player, there was a shot at the front point of the small penalty area. Larson rushed over and grabbed the front point, facing the ball and simply using his bow. The ball flew up on a pad, and with a bang, the ball hit the bottom edge of the goal beam and bounced into the net!


    The Luton goalkeeper was dumbfounded.


    The Lion Cave Stadium is boiling!


    After scoring, Larson ran to the South Stand, where the cheering was the loudest, with his arms raised in celebration.


    In the South Stand, the members of the "Lion Roar" fan organization jumped up and down, originally thought they were just happy, but when Larson ran to the stand, the seven "Lion Roar" fan organization members turned their backs on their Behind the jersey, there is a capital letter, seven people form an English name: Larsson.


    There were fans holding Larsen''s No. 9 jersey high on both sides. At the bottom, a large poster was raised by one person. It was Larson''s heroic attitude!


    This made Larson stunned with his arms raised. He suddenly didn¡¯t know what to do. He only knew that in addition to the excitement of scoring in his heart, the picture in front of him touched the deepness of his heart and moved him. Besides, it seemed to soften in this memorable scene.


    This scene was caught by the broadcast lens and immediately became the focus.


    "Millwall has changed, and Millwall has changed. Here, we see some sights that we would never have seen before, and this will make us remember for a long time..."


    Aldridge applauded gently on the sidelines. In addition to awarding his players for performing tactics and achieving results, part of it was for the fans in the stands.


    The second half had just started, Luton lost the ball, and the original solid defense in the first half also showed cracks, which suddenly reversed the situation of the game.


    In the first half, Millwall players started to play more and more negatively, and their morale was low. But with this goal, the morale was higher, and it allowed them to face the game more calmly. , Is the watershed of the game trend.


    Especially the two wingers shine in the second half.


    After Pires took over the pass from Lucas, and after catching the ball, there was no passing, directly a long diagonal pass, looking for Trezeguet after the penalty area.


    This gave Trezegue the space to start and sprint. He sprinted from outside the penalty area into the penalty area and greeted the ball directly to make a diving jump. The defender who returned to the defense in parallel with him could not touch the ball at all, and this was like a cannonball. The ball slammed into the goal, but the angle was not tricky, and Luton goalkeeper flew sideways to hold the ball out of the crossbar.


    The unknown Luton goalkeeper made a wonderful save.


    Trezeguet got up from the ground and shook his head a little bit regretfully, but he was not discouraged, and immediately began to stand in the penalty area to prepare for a corner kick.


    The game has been completely one-sided. When Millwall''s two wing players are no longer as rigid as in the first half, it makes Millwall''s frontcourt offensive team glow with great vitality.


    Wenger in the stands looked more and more delighted, and he already saw the ability of Aldridge''s on-site scheduling from the performance of Schneider and Piret.


    No substitutions, no changes in tactics, in fact, it just changed the rhythm, and made the two sides relaxed.


    The movement of the ball is also smoother.


    Schneider once again took the ball on the wing. The defender who defended him had already suffered a loss. He did not dare to rush in, and even vaguely prepared to turn around and chase after the opponent had to play two to one.


    But this time, Schneider stopped the ball at his feet, but the full-back in front of him took a step back. At this moment of hesitation, Schneider changed the line inwardly and inserted the ball diagonally into the rib at the front of the penalty area. This forced the opponent''s central defender to come up and snatched, and Schneider just inserted the ball straight into the penalty area. There, Trezeguet, who ran out of space and left unmarked, turned around and volleyed a kick!


    Luton goalkeeper blocked the shot angle of the near post, but the ball simply got into the far corner of the goal!


    2: 0!


    Trezeguet shook his head and shouted, he also ran to the side of the South Stand, and the fans above turned back to reveal his name.


    The Lion''s Cave Stadium was caught in a sea of ??carnival


    After seeing this goal, Aldridge smiled and turned and walked back to the coach seat.


    Compared with his younger age, Jenson admired his five-body ground, but it was only a subtle change, but it made Millwall''s side attack completely live!


    Schneider, who had two assists, also felt incredible. When he jumped on Trezeguet''s back and celebrated, he still remembered what Aldridge said during the intermission.


    He did play too tired in the first half.


    I even think that the opponent''s full-back is a ruthless role, and the defense is not leaking.


    It turned out that the problem was not how strong the opponent was, but that he didn''t play as he should.


    And Aldridge only made it easy for him to enjoy the most primitive joy and passion of football on the court by just saying a few words.


    The boss is really amazing!


    Before the end of the game, Pire took a long shot before moving to the penalty area to lock the audience score at 3:0.


    Millwall defeated Luton at home in the ninth round of the Premier League and continued to lead the standings.


    Winning a three-point is certainly important, but Aldrich is more pleased that the players¡¯ mental outlook has been refreshed. After a little release of the offense, the players are more active on the field and play more motivated. This momentum is very good, at least this A little gambling, Aldridge won.


    After the game, as the sun went down, Aldridge said goodbye to Wenger outside the club.


    Andrew came to see the ball today, and Aldridge let him drive Wenger as a driver.


    Outside the club door, Andrew put Wenger''s simple suitcase into the car, and then sat quietly in the car and waited.


    Under the setting sun, Wenger and Aldrich stood opposite each other. Both of them seemed to be covered with a golden light. Wenger smiled gently on the face: "Aldrich, your team is great, this group of young people Players, if tuned well, they will definitely be able to fight for trophies in the future."


    Aldridge also smiled gently: "The trophy is still far away from us. The most important task in front of us is to be on the stage of the top league."


    Wenger reached out his hand and said: "Then I wish your team to enter the Premier League as soon as possible. Thank you for your care in the past few days. I have gained a lot here."


    Aldrich shook hands with him and said, "I also wish you a smooth journey."


    Wenger turned to Andrew''s car, and Andrew sat in the driver''s seat, waved his hand out of the window and waved at Aldridge, then the car slowly started.


    Aldridge looked at the distant car, and under the beautiful evening twilight, carrying Wenger who was about to depart for Japan, Aldridge sent blessings from the heart.


    This trip to Japan is definitely a happy trip for Wenger. He can teach the Nagoya Whale Countdown to the league runner-up in half a year.


    But there, after all, was not Wenger''s destination.


    When the car disappeared at the end of the line of sight, Aldridge turned and walked into the club, his mouth slightly upturned and murmured gently.


    "Professor, we will meet again in the Premier League!"

 Chapter 35： The most important game

    In Aldridge''s mind, the overall idea of ??building a team is similar to eating.


    The first is to eat a buffet, take whatever you want, buy a strongman on the wings if you want to fly together, and buy a fast-attack player if you want to play a defensive counterattack. design.


    The second type is tailored to suit the meal. What kind of card you have in your hand, you need to use the most appropriate style of play to maximize the power of this deck. The tactics are simpler. The players in the hand are placed in the most suitable In terms of their characteristics and good positions, the frame of the tactical formation will be almost formed after they are placed one by one, but the limitations are bound to be great.


    Middlesbrough''s tactical formation is the second type.


    In the tenth round of the Premier League, Aldridge''s team will head to Middlesbrough in North Yorkshire to challenge the second place in the league!


    Aldrich was very serious in the pre-match preparation meeting. The entire coaching staff believed that the most important game in the 46-round league is this game!


    This season, Middlesbrough changed the club chairman and head coach, the situation is similar to Millwall, and the new coach employed by Middlesbrough is former Manchester United captain Brian Robson, based on player and coach Way to control the team.


    With the prestige of Brian, and the transfer of Clayton Blackmore who came to Middlesbrough with him from Manchester United, sitting in the locker room, Middlesbrough had a surprisingly smooth transition in this turbulent summer, and There is almost no break-in period, Middlesbrough has become the champion of the Champions League!


    In the first nine rounds of the league, Millwall had six wins, two draws and one loss, with 20 points.


    Middlesbrough also achieved six wins, two draws and one loss, with the same points as Millwall, but the difference in goal difference ranked second.


    In the eyes of outside ball critics, although Millwall is now ranked first, the team is too young will be an unstable factor. In contrast, Middlesbrough is a mature team with an average age of about 25 years old. The oldest players on the court are striker Hendry and defender Pearson, 30 years old, followed by former Manchester United hero Blackmore, 29 years old. It can be said that Middlesbrough has a very mature central axis. This is for the entire season. Stable performance is essential.


    Another factor that makes Middlesbrough a favorite is their tactical formation.


    Defensive 532.


    Such a formation is also used by a team in the Premier League. Arsenal of George Graham, a passive tactic of extremely utilitarianism, can make the game boring and boring for points!


    Aldrich believes that Millwall is barefoot now, Middlesbrough is wearing shoes, and he does not need to be afraid of the other side.


    However, the result of this game is significant for the young team.


    If you lose, the barefoot will be afraid of wearing shoes.


    The team should not be given the idea of ??losing.


    Therefore, he is particularly careful when arranging tactics.


    "Although the other party''s John Hendry is thirty years old, he is a pure shooter. This player is a 90-minute game. He may not see him a few times, but may give him a highlight of one minute. , He will rewrite the game, pay special attention to his marking, and his partner striker is the 20-year-old Graham Cavana, this player''s characteristics are very obvious, it can even be said that he is a defensive The forward will harass our back line by actively running in the front field. It should be noted that his header is very good, and the creativity after taking the ball can not be underestimated. Be sure to cut off his and Hengdeli¡¯s contact."


    At the pre-match preparation meeting before the departure, Aldridge arranged tactics on the tactical board, and in the defense arrangement against the opponent, first of all, it was naturally the analysis and defensive strategy of the characteristics of the other two forwards.


    The players listened very carefully, everyone knows the significance of the next league, but that is the real top battle!


    The next day, Aldridge led his team to North Yorkshire, and before the game in the afternoon, he was interviewed here in Middlesbrough.


    Because of the top game, this league was held at night, also for ratings.


    Sitting in the hall of the press conference, Aldridge looked at the reporters with more than twenty media representatives in front of him with a smile. Several of them were still very impressed.


    This is a big change from the scene before the start of the Ligue 1 two months ago.


    The young reporters from The Sun and The Daily Mail were also very excited to see Aldridge.


    Before the reporters started asking questions, Aldridge first greeted the two reporters with a smile.


    "Thomson, Richard, are you still an intern?"


    Thomson, who represents the Sun, looked a little embarrassed, smiled awkwardly, and shook his head.


    Obviously, he has turned right.


    It¡¯s just that his face is still a bit tender. After interviewing Aldridge two months ago, he submitted the manuscript he wrote to the editor of the newspaper for review. Eventually, the editor changed it beyond recognition. That article also turned Aldridge from the inspirational young man Thomson wrote into a **** who used the club as a toy.


    In this regard, Thomson, who still has professional ethics, is ashamed. Fortunately, it seems that Aldridge does not care about it.


    Richard looked much more experienced, and opened his mouth with a smile: "Thanks to you, I have been officially hired by the "Daily Mail", hehe."


    Aldrichto asked his chin with some curiosity, "Is it related to me?"


    Richard said triumphantly: "Of course I have. I have been following Millwall for two months. Millwall has surprised everyone. Haha, Mr. Hall, I have known that I have been following you. , I can''t lose my job."


    Having said that, Richard also raised eyebrows at the other colleagues, which made reporters from the major newspapers The Times and The Guardian scoff.


    Shortly after Richard entered his career at a young age, he was not afraid of a newborn calf. Others disdain him. He used reflection skills and sneered contemptuously.


    Now Millwall''s strong momentum is attracting attention, and the reporters of the big newspapers also come here to run the news. Richard is very proud and feels that he has followed and followed Millwall.


    "There are so many multimedia friends today, so, one question per person, as short as possible, and related to the game. I refuse to answer other questions. Let¡¯s start, Richard, what do you want to know?"


    Aldridge straightened up, his expression always gentle and smiling.


    Richard also straightened his waist and asked aloud: "Mr. Hall, before the season, you said that Millwall¡¯s goal this season is to relegate, but the league has passed nine rounds, and your team is ranked. The top of the League One, and the team¡¯s outstanding performance is obvious to all. It can be said that in the eight games played by the main lineup, you have set a record of zero goals conceded. Nine games have only lost two goals. Secondary Wolves, what is your team¡¯s goal now?"


    This question is also of concern to other reporters. In fact, just by looking at paper strength, external ball critics do not think that Millwall is particularly powerful, because many players are new faces. Can they maintain stable and excellent performance? Still a question.


    But will the thrill of victory brought by Lien Chan and Lian Jie stun the young Master Millwall?


    Aldridge scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "This seems to have nothing to do with the next game. Well, Millwall''s goal this season is relatively simple, that is, to train the players. I and the pre-season statement remain unchanged, this is a young The team has unlimited potential, I will not care about the gains and losses overnight, and I will not stare at the standings every day. As long as my team is improving every game, I will be satisfied. If I say this season The goal is relegation, and you will definitely call me hypocrisy in your heart."


    Ha ha ha ha.


    The reporters present smiled secretly.


    Because of the large number of teams and the number of rounds in the Premier League, the relegation line is roughly around 50 points.


    And Aldridge¡¯s team scored 20 points after only nine rounds in the league. Even if they put a bus in front of the goal, they can easily relegate in the remaining 37 rounds...


    Aldridge spread his hands helplessly and said: "Because the Premier League has shrunk the team this season, everyone knows that the only way to upgrade is to win the Champions League and pass the play-offs. The competition will be more brutal and fierce than in previous years, so now let¡¯s talk about points The goals on the list are too early. I only value the next game. If you play one game after another, what will the final result be, and time will give us the answer."


    The reporters are a little bit disappointed. They naturally want to hear Aldridge''s brave words, so that they can write a special book. This low-key and pragmatic argument really has nothing to attract the eye.


    Although Aldridge is talking about the truth, it is a bit premature to talk about the situation in the standings. As long as the top-ranked team loses two games, it will immediately fall to the middle of the standings, or even downstream.


    Thomson raised his hand and asked: "Mr. Hall, Middlesbrough coach Robson was asked about your views at a previous press conference. He said that as a coach, you have a good start. Millwall has ushered in a new era in your hands, expressing respect for you and saying that Middlesbrough can¡¯t despise the young Millwall. Other teams in the Premier League should also value Millwall¡¯s Exist, what do you think of this? What do you think of Mr. Brian Robson?"


    Aldridge lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a moment. Although Brian Robson didn¡¯t say any bad words at first glance, it was actually a psychological battle. It was nothing more than to make Millwall the target of the League One. This kind of trick, It seems that Brian Robson copied Ferguson''s suit.


    In all fairness, Aldridge''s coaching career and Brian Robson started at the same time, and the opponent only managed the team as a player and coach this season.


    "I can only say that Mr. Robson had an in-depth study of Millwall. I actually hope that every opponent in the League One will despise us. It is best to put the main players on the bench when resting with us. Ha ha."


    Hearing Aldridge''s words so bluntly, the audience laughed again.


    Despise Millwall?


    The teams that underestimated them were basically disabled by Millwall''s efficient defensive counterattack. Only pragmatic teams like Bolton and Reading scored points from Millwall.


    "Mr. Brian Robson is an awe-inspiring person, and his coaching ability is not my turn to judge. The record of Middlesbrough in the past two months has explained everything. Compared with them, they are the most popular champions and want to rush to the Premier League team, will definitely hope to beat direct competitors by defeating Middlesbrough."


    Aldridge¡¯s remarks are not to compliment each other. Brian Robson was not only the Captain of Magic in the 1980s, but also a natural leader. It was this temperament that made him enter the Lord. Middlesbrough quickly filled the team with cohesion and fighting power.


    However, coaching a team and being a team captain are two different things. The head coach''s achievement limit is not determined solely by spiritual attributes.


    Aldrich can¡¯t commit grievances and hatred with Brian Robson. It¡¯s enough to emphasize the fact that the opponent is a hot champion, even if other teams play Millwall with a hundred times spirit, at least Middlesbrough don¡¯t want to take advantage.


    Aldrich was free to talk, occasionally making jokes and having a lot of fun. The press conference was announced in a happy atmosphere.

 Chapter 36： The leaderboard clash lifted

    In England, to measure the loyalty of a fan, to support the team away is a yardstick and a benchmark. Compared to a football hooligan who does not care about football and wants to vent the violence under the guise of the game, the real fan organization will organize the fans. Go away to support their beloved team.


    Although the "Roar" fan organization was not established for a long time, Brady organized a team of more than 200 people to go to North Yorkshire. After the last home victory over Luton, "Roar Roar" had more fans joined As a leader of the organization, Brady also quickly established an image among the fans, and also regulated the code of conduct within the fan organization. At least fighting alcoholism is strictly prohibited.


    After the release of the Taylor report, Middlesbrough also built a new stadium, but the plan is to put it into use next summer: the Riverside Stadium.


    The 94/95 season is the last season of Middlesbrough at Aya Sumy Park Stadium. After the stadium was changed to a seat, the capacity was only 20,000, but the historical significance of this stadium is not small. The World Cup, Aya Sumy Park Stadium and Sunderland''s Low Processing Park Stadium are all host venues in the Northeast Division.


    Brady and their team of more than two hundred people came out of the Aya Sumy Park stadium wearing Millwall''s dark blue jersey and walked in under the guidance of the visiting team entrance. They stood orderly on the stands and did not sit down. It is customary for the fans of the home and guest teams to be separated. Middlesbrough fans, who are closer to the stands of the visiting team fans, watched Brady nervously.


    Millwall thugs are here!


    The Millwall gangsters did not stop here last season. During the game, the Middlesbrough fans scolded each other, provoke each other, even throwing debris and so on.


    There are few clubs in England that welcome Millwall fans.


    No wonder the fans of the home team are ready to fight back against Millwall''s provocations.


    But today they were surprised to see these young fans standing on the stands of the visiting team fans. They held their heads high and suddenly sang a rock rhythm team song that was neat and dynamic.


    "No matter where you go, we will follow you to death!"


    "No one likes it, we don''t care!"


    ...


    England''s old-fashioned stadiums are already small, and the singing of more than two hundred people easily spread throughout the Aya Sumy Park stadium.


    Most Middlesbrough fans were relieved.


    Sing and sing, as long as you don¡¯t make trouble, you can watch the ball.


    Soon, the fans in Middlesbrough also began to sing. Before the game began, the fans'' battle began in the singing.


    When the players of the two teams were ready to play, Aldridge had come to the sidelines and he could clearly hear the singing of Millwall fans.


    The song "No one likes it, we don''t care", this song is actually very good in terms of the song itself, but this slogan is also a bit extreme, with a stubborn will in the stubbornness, which is opposite their dead rival West Ham The United team is in stark contrast. The fans of the Hammer Gang are always singing that they are blowing bubbles, which is an optimistic and positive attitude.


    Perhaps this is the charm beyond detached football.


    East London has been in decline since World War II. Compared with West London and the prosperity of North London, people in southeast London are either unyielding or optimistic.


    Middlesbrough¡¯s head coach also came out. Brian Robson apparently didn¡¯t have the idea of ??playing today. He was dressed neatly and took a steady pace. He first came to the visiting team¡¯s coach seat.


    As the head coach of the home team, there is nothing wrong with saying hello to the head coach of the visiting team before the game. It is a kind of etiquette to treat guests on the court. It is normal for chats between the head coaches who have friendship to chat before the game.


    Middlesbrough and Millwall are just normal games. It is understandable to greet each other.


    "Mr. Hall, Ferguson''s old man made me want to be careful with you a hundred times."


    Brian Robson stretched out his hand at Aldridge with a smile, Aldridge also smiled, and after holding the big hand of the opponent, he whispered: "Is that old fox fancy my player?"


    Aldridge did not believe that Ferguson would target his team for no reason. Although there were two players on loan from Manchester United in the team, in the Premier League, Aldridge¡¯s main lineup, Beckham and Neville even The bench list can''t get in, who makes England have only five bench players.


    In addition, Manchester United¡¯s state of the season is not good. Odds, who occasionally pays attention to Premier League news, knows that Manchester United is in a transitional period of replacement. Ferguson is about to say that to Robson, and most of them are following Millwall. Just a few new players.


    Brian Robson was surprised, but nodded and smiled: "Yes, the old man is very interested in Henrique Larson of Millwall."


    Aldridge raised his eyebrows, and his heart was clear. Manchester United¡¯s striker partner is now Cantonaga Mark Hughes, but Mark Hughes is over 30 years old, and his goal efficiency is not as good as before. Manchester United needs a new striker. This is no longer a secret.


    "Eh? Didn''t he have a crush on Andy Cole? Why did he still play my player''s idea?"


    Brian Robson smiled bitterly: "Newcastle United''s asking price is too high, Keegan''s **** will not make the old man want to do it."


    Aldrich nodded his head to understand that the grievances between Kevin Keegan and Ferguson had already spread throughout England. Who gave Keegan Liverpool blood?


    Larson''s goal efficiency in the Premier League is amazing, and his performance on the court cannot be said to exceed expectations. After all, his transfer fee is also a heavy aid this summer. Is Ferguson favored?


    Aldridge blinked at Brian Robson and whispered: "Well, have a look after this season, maybe Larson is free at the end of the season."


    Brian Robson''s eyes widened in surprise, feeling incredible!


    Did Millwall spend a lot of money to introduce such a super efficient striker, only one season?


    But he didn''t ask any more questions, and after the two smiled at each other, Robson turned and walked back to the home team coach.


    Aldridge smirked, Manchester United wanted to dig people, he can not stop, but he can set up a lot of obstacles for Manchester United, including players salary.


    As long as he upgrades this season, Larson¡¯s weekly salary will be tens of thousands, and Aldridge will re-sign a new contract with all the players in the club next summer. After all, the end of next year will be the implementation time of the Bosman Act. Next year In the summer he will use a long contract to keep the players firmly in his hands.


    And Manchester United¡¯s salary system, I¡¯m sorry, now Manchester United is a listed company, the club is operating in an enterprise era, the football club is responsible to shareholders, the salary expenditure is strictly controlled, it is rumored that later Kantona retired, also with the contract salary Unable to be satisfied has a lot to do.


    Today''s game is the first battle of the League One, and the evening TV broadcast is also the highlight.


    When the players played, the narrator began to introduce the roster of both players with passion.


    "Welcome to the Aya Sumy Park Stadium, tonight there will be a first-place match in the Premier League, against the two teams that have shown unexpectedly this season, the league''s ninth-ranked Middles last season Under the leadership of new coach Brian Robson this season, Fort has achieved an impressive record of six wins, two draws and one loss in the first nine rounds of the league, but what is even more unexpected is that before the season, experts predicted that the relegated popular Mill However, Wall ranked first in the league after nine rounds. Like Middlesbrough, they only lost one game in the first nine rounds of the league and tied two games. Their goals scored second in the Premier League, only better than firepower. The more intense Wolves have one less ball, but their defense seems to be unassailable. In the nine-round league, they only lost two goals. It¡¯s amazing. Eighteen-year-old head coach Audrey Hall will take his What kind of history are the boys making this season? This is what everyone cares about now, and today''s game will be a real test for Millwall!"


    Aldridge looked at Middlesbrough starting eleven, which was no different from what he predicted at the pre-match preparation meeting.


    This is the limitation of Brian Robson as a coach who can only watch the food. It is difficult to have a team in the lineup, and he can only put out the most stable and powerful lineup.


    Middlesbrough lacks powerful midfielders, but there are a lot of powerful defenders, so Brian Robson can only put up a five-back formation and move the full-back to the center-forward position. , Gives the midfielder more space and can almost move freely in the frontcourt.


    In any case, although this tactical arrangement is helpless, it is also reasonable. I changed Aldridge. I am afraid that no better changes can be made. Especially the age of these players has been difficult to change their playing methods and habit.


    "Middlesbrough at home is wearing a traditional red jersey today. Their starting players are, goalkeeper: Alan Miller, defenders: Curtis Fleming, Durec White, Nigel Pearson , Steve Wicks, Neil Cowes, midfielder: Clayton Blackmore, Robbie Marstow, Craig Highnet, forward: John Thirty Hendry partnered with Graham Cavana, 20 years old."


    "Let''s take a look at the starting lineup of Millwall wearing a blue jersey. Their average age is about four years younger than Middlesbrough. Goalkeeper: Katherine Keller, defender: Lilian Thuram , Gareth Southgate, Yap Stam, Lucas Neal, midfielders: Bernd Schneider, Claude Makelele, Pavel Nedved, Robert Piley, strikers: Henrik Larson, David Trezeguet. It is worth noting that the combination of Larson and Trezeguet is the most goals scored in the Premier League. And they are still very young. Let¡¯s see what they can do in front of Middlesbrough¡¯s tenacious defense. Audience friends, this round of the first round of the Premier League is about to start, Millwall kicks off!"


    With the whistle of the referee, Trezeguet lightly flicked the ball under his feet, and Larsen kicked the ball to the backcourt.


    In the tenth round of the Premier League, the top battle begins!

 Chapter 37： Weird goals and killings emerge

    Before the game started, Aldridge stood on the sidelines, watching the game with his hands in his pockets.


    He wants to show an attitude and value the game.


    The players on the field are also accustomed to the attitude of Aldridge. It seems that they are being watched by the solemn deities. Any laziness or distraction will have no place to escape, and they must be fully invested in the game.


    After the game started, neither Millwall nor Middlesbrough immediately opened the offensive posture. Most of the time, the ball was running back and forth in their respective backcourts. The rhythm of the game was a bit slow. It seems that this game will not burst out too much. Passion.


    A few minutes later, Aldridge frowned slightly, and several offensives organized by Millwall were resolved by the Middlesbrough defensive line. In terms of numbers and experience, the opponent¡¯s defensive line had a clear advantage.


    Aldrich thought: Middlesbrough played so conservatively, is it a draw?


    At the moment, Aldridge has his own idea. Instead, he is Brian Robson. In the face of this deck of cards, he should be satisfied with the draw against Milwall, who has a good attack on fire. The tactical formation is defensive.


    Simply relying on the previous side attack routine to break the Middlesborough defense, Aldridge feels a little difficult, whether it is Piley or Schneider, even if he breaks through the defense of the full-back, he finds flaws on the side, but the other side There are three central defenders, and arming in the penalty area can freeze Millwall''s double forward.


    Taking advantage of a boundary ball, Aldridge shouted at the frontcourt on the sidelines. After seeing them all turned around, Aldridge made a gesture, **** nodded, and then made a separate move. , Then the two fists hit each other.


    In the frontcourt attack, the four-man nodded toward Aldridge, and said he knew what to do next.


    Brian Robson looked slightly strange in front of the home team coach.


    He has an illusion: Aldridge has a sophisticated temperament.


    After the opening, Millwall had an advantage. Although it was not obvious, football clearly had more time under their feet.


    The two forwards ambushing in the front of the penalty area, Larson and Trezeguet continued to retreat. After cooperating with Pire''s center, Larson and Trezeguet inserted forward into the ribs on both sides of the penalty area. Going, this made Middlesbrough''s central defenders immediately follow suit.


    Seeing this scene, Brian Robson on the sidelines was disturbed.


    Obviously, there is only one central defender, Nigel Pearson, left in the middle of the restricted zone in Middlesbrough.


    Both Drake White and Steve Wicks were taken away by Larson and Trezeguet!


    Midfielder Robbie Matos was hesitating whether to block Nedved''s forward route or retreat, Pire took the ball inward and directly approached the front of the penalty area, pretending to shoot and force Pearson to block up , He passed the ball across.


    Middlesbrough''s back line saw another unexpected player at the front of the penalty area: Bernd Schneider!


    The two wing players actually played together in the middle, and Pearson turned to block Schneider, otherwise the opponent will advance the ball and will face the goalkeeper half-single.


    At the moment when Pearson turned around to chase, Schneider rolled the football from the ground to pass near the penalty spot of the penalty area. Pearson looked at the ball over his head, and cold sweat came out, when he stopped and turned around Afterglow in the corner of his eyes clearly saw a dark blue figure passing by him quickly.


    Fuck!


    Robert Piley!


    The two wingers tacitly played Middlesbrough''s back line in front of the penalty area. After the football was picked to pass the penalty area, Piret moved forward and only Middlesbrough goalkeeper Alan Miller was in front.


    Facing the falling ball, Pire made no adjustments and shot with his feet angry!


    Aldridge watched this match on the sidelines as if he had seen Piret''s volley score.


    However, Pire actually kicked!


    A chic volley, but the ball didn''t make perfect contact with the instep, but the calf hit the ball.


    Alan Miller made a prejudgment and rushed to his left. He felt that Pir¨¦, a right-foot player, would either hit the right or volley the left. With one of two options, he chose to his left. Pires rushed out to the right.


    However, no one thought that after Pir¨¦ kicked the ball, it would have a dramatic effect.


    Aldridge saw the lightly flying ball, holding his head in disbelief, dumbfounded.


    He can''t see the specific situation in the penalty area, especially the reaction of the opponent''s goalkeeper, but this goal, amateur goalkeepers can save it?


    But Alan Miller rushed to the right in advance. After he fell on the goal line, his eyes were as big as brass bells, his head was slowly raised and he looked at the kick defect, and then rotated strongly but slowly as light feathers. The ball fell from above to the goal.


    Alan Miller tried to raise his hand to touch the ball, but his body leaned back more and more, and then rolled a circle, holding the football in his arms in the net.


    Alan Miller threw the ball out of his arms angrily!


    "The goal was scored! Pire opened the record for Millwall. He scored an extremely weird goal! He appeared at the penalty spot and had a golden opportunity. No one around him interfered with his shot. He also posed. The standard volley posture, but he did not use his feet to shoot, but his calf! The ball crossed an obvious arc in the air and fell into the goal of Middlesbrough lightly, I have to say, This goal has a lot of luck..."


    After completing the shooting, Pi Lei felt cold, and even slipped on the ground because he failed to hit the ball, but when he was sitting on the ground, he looked up and looked at the trajectory of the ball. And looked at the other goalkeeper again, completely shocked.


    He would like to ask the other goalkeeper: I am kicking, what are you doing?


    Alan Miller threw to the left on the goal line after the football bounced, and then looked up, like Piray, with a dull expression.


    Ayah Sumy Park Stadium was a moment of silence, and then the cheering broke out in the visitors'' stands.


    The goal is scored!


    Our crazy lion is ahead!


    Brian Robson covered his head and didn''t know what to say. He could only curse a few words in his heart, lamenting his bad luck, and then he started shouting at the players on the court.


    And Aldridge is also in a state of ups and downs, from expectation to loss, to surprise, it is like riding a roller coaster.


    Faced with this goal, he could only show an uncontrollable smile.


    Pires got up from the ground and rubbed his hips to greet his teammates who ran to celebrate his goal.


    "Robert, when did you learn to shoot with a calf?"


    "You have time to teach me!"


    Amidst laughter, Millwall players started walking towards the backcourt.


    After calming down on the sidelines, Brian Robson cheered for the players while making adjustments on the court.


    He saw it, and the old man Ferguson told him not to despise Millwall is not alarmist, but not only because Millwall has a pair of powerful fronts, the young man on the sidelines who is nearly 20 years younger than him is definitely a man. The strength of the head coach.


    In the past, no one expected that Millwall¡¯s two wing players could move to the middle to cooperate. Even in the previous Millwall game, the two wing players would participate in the middle attack, but most of them involved or responded. The real point of attack is still on the sidewalk or the ribs of the penalty area. The two sidewalks have never been in direct contact as before.


    This is already a Premier League standard.


    In terms of tactics, the Premier League team¡¯s two winged pillings are not just hanging into the penalty area, a wide range of long-range precise transfers, or coordination with each other at the front of the penalty area, which is also the main theme, but in the rough and simple Premier League field, Such cooperation is very rare, this is limited by the player''s ability.


    Taking the lead temporarily, Aldridge has made the players more calm and has a lead advantage. He believes that the players will deal with the game more calmly.


    In the next game, Aldridge had to take a look at Middlesbrough.


    The disadvantage of losing the ball first did not overwhelm their psychological defense. Middlesbrough¡¯s rhythm is still tepid, and in response to the wide range of activities of the Millwall offensive combination, their defense line adjustment is also very rapid. The full-back and the middle The defender''s replacement was quick and timely, causing Millwall''s several attacks to be destroyed before infiltrating the penalty area.


    Middlesbrough¡¯s offensive is simple. Although it is not a common long pass in the First Division, it is whimsical to try to penetrate Millwall¡¯s defense through a straight ball through the ground when the number is not dominant. some.


    Two midfielders, Hagnett and Blackmore, and forward Cavana run back and forth in the midfield, but after receiving the ball, they will always be caught by Millwall''s midfielder Makelele The team members were stared to death, and then the retreated midfield players robbed together and lost the ball.


    Thirty-five minutes passed in the first half and Middlesbrough didn''t even have a shot!


    Even the narrators on television could no longer watch.


    "Milwall''s defense is too good, they will always use the number advantage to resolve the penetration of Middlesbrough''s position. Blackmore and Hagrid have been cleanly grounded by Millwall''s defensive players on several breakthroughs. Broke, obviously, such a tactic does not give Middlesbrough an advantage on the field, Brian Robson should at least try a long pass, even though their arrow John Hendry''s header is a mess, But the twenty-year-old Cavana can still play a certain role in response. There is always nothing wrong with trying, maybe there will be surprises? Just like Piret¡¯s goal..."


    Aldridge still stood on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets. He was curious at the moment, turning his head from time to time to take a look at Brian Robson.


    Middlesbrough''s disadvantage on the court is very obvious, he can not see it?


    Why is he so calm?


    Towards the end of the first half, Middlesbrough organized another offensive, and midfielder Masto passed the ball to the habitually set Blackmore again. After firmly receiving the ball, Blackmore waited for Lucca. Sis got close, but he made a long diagonal pass to the left side of the road. Over there, Hagnett used a beautiful chest to stop the ball and unloaded it.


    Makelele rushed from the side, and Thuram also blocked his way in front of him.


    Aldridge stood on the side of the field. In front of him, a red figure flew by quickly, Aldridge was shocked!


    Who is that?


    Aldridge looked at the numbers and names behind the players, and an unknown hunch arose in his heart.


    Twenty-five-year-old Middlesbrough full-back Curtis Fleming!


    In the first forty minutes, the defender who was at ease in the backcourt and defended, suddenly plugged in, and rushed straight to Millwall''s backcourt bottom line, which made Makrele and Thuram unpredictable and forced them to step forward. When Hagrid was ready to join in and **** Middlesbrough''s offense, Fleming sprinted past Thuram at the same speed. At the same time, Makelele chose to shovel and delay the other''s offense, but Hagrid With special preparation, he gently pushed the ball forward, and the ball rolled over two meters to the left of Thuram.


    Seeing this scene, Aldridge couldn''t help turning his head and glanced at Brian Robson, and found that the calm expression of the other party had long since disappeared, and his eyes were full of gloom, with the murderous opportunity to devour everything!


    Fuck!


    be cheated!


    Middlesbrough is not a defensive 532 at all!


    It''s **** 352!


    When Aldridge looked back at his team''s back line, he unexpectedly watched full-back Fleming''s dribble to the bottom line, and Thuram''s full-speed backtrack was not a big difference.


    Fleming snatched the ball towards Millwall''s goal with a near-volley shot before Thuram approached!


    Catherine Keller was very well prepared and was sure to catch the shot, but just as he bent down to hug the ball, there was a foot in front of him, and his toe touched the ball like a sharp knife!


    The ball changed direction just one meter in front of Keller, tearing Millwall''s steel defense!

 Chapter 38： Indecisive

    John Hendry''s thick long legs suddenly reflected in Keller''s sight, leaving Keller in a thunderstorm!


    He could only watch Heng hit the ball with his toes, and then even drove the ball into the goal.


    "John Hendry! John Hendry! He could not be seen for almost the entire first half, but at this moment, he and Fleming, who came up with an assist, had a beautiful cooperation and he broke through Mill. Wall''s back line, and then stretched his foot to send the ball into Millwall''s gate at the front point, Middlesbrough equalized the score! Millwall''s zero goal defense was announced in front of Middlesbrough The record is broken!"


    Since the start of the league, Thuram Stam Southgate Keller, the five-man defensive combination including the goalkeeper on the back line, tasted the taste of being broken through the gate for the first time.


    The Aya Sumy Park Stadium was cheered with excitement, and Middlesbrough players were celebrating in a group, and then raised their heads and walked towards the backcourt. It seemed that they were expected to equalize the score, and their mature and experienced game Experience is their greatest support.


    Brian Robson, besides seeing the goal, waved his fist in both hands, no other action, but also calm.


    Aldridge calmly clapped his hands towards the court, so that the players should not be discouraged and took a ten thousand steps back.


    But when he lost the ball, Aldridge felt nothing to say, and he knew in his heart that Robson gave him a lesson.


    Millwall''s goal concealment has nothing to do with his personal ability, nor is it a player error. It is entirely due to Middlesbrough''s tactics.


    Tactics pay attention to winning.


    If Middlesbrough will allow two full-backs to step forward and assist at the beginning of the game, Aldridge believes that in the whole game, Middlesbrough¡¯s two wing will not do anything, at least Thuram must In this way, in terms of defensive abilities, the wing players who can positively break through Thuram are at least rare in the Premier League.


    At this moment, Aldridge suddenly realized that Middlesbrough''s previous conservatism was the tactic of paralyzing his opponent.


    The defensive 532 formation deceived everyone. The slow pace of the game was to create an illusion of mist for Millwall¡¯s defense. When Millwall¡¯s defensive players were ¡°habitually¡± confident enough to grab more and less, Middlesbrough The full-back was suddenly plugged in at high speed and hit the Millwall defender by surprise.


    Tactically achieved the effect of "achieving victory", this sudden acceleration of rhythm from slow to fast, even Aldridge did not expect.


    Aldrich secretly said: Brian Robson, who has a meal, has a set.


    But he was not discouraged. Now that this Millwall has not been fully formed, the pace of the game and the flexible use of tactics are still in their infancy. This requires more time to temper and the game to accumulate experience. Delsburg is already a very mature team, and it is difficult to make progress.


    The midfielder kicked in again. Millwall''s back line learned the lessons just now. Not only did the two full-backs pay special attention to each other''s wing offense, Piray and Schneider also started to retreat from the defensive end.


    Seeing the Millwall players adjust themselves quickly on the court, originally wanted to take advantage of the chase. Robson, who hit another one when the opponent did not recover, shook his head and gave the players a calm gesture, indicating that they should not take the risk of attacking. .


    At the end of the first half, Aldridge saw that the opponent played another set of slow-paced conservative tactics, and his heart was very calm. Millwall''s defense will not be collapsed by a lost ball. This is what he spent hard to shape. Line of defense.


    The referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, and Aldridge took the lead to return to the locker room.


    Morale is such a vague thing.


    If Millwall lost the ball first and then tied the score, then the momentum will inevitably rise.


    But Millwall is the advanced ball, and then equalized, the players feel a little depressed.


    Obviously the score is 1:1, but there will always be a weird feeling that something you get is taken away.


    This is human nature, and Aldridge feels this way more or less.


    It is this kind of emotional change. In the early stage of building the team, Aldridge was very afraid of losing, let alone being reversed, it was a big taboo!


    The team''s calm mind and quitting the psychology of gains and losses will all take time to cultivate, and it will be a long way to work out a strong heart that is full of glory and shame.


    The players who returned to the locker room were silent, sitting on the bench panting, and the atmosphere was a bit depressed, as if the air had been frozen.


    Aldridge didn''t want them to bear the pressure. When the pressure could not bear, a series of negative emotions would be generated, so he shrugged and said with a smile: "Robert, go back and you should practice shooting."


    The players were stunned for a while and then laughed out loud.


    Pires smiled bitterly: "Boss, can you stop mentioning that goal? Give me another hundred chances and I won''t slip."


    He knew that the weird goal in the first half was bound to become a joke between teammates.


    Aldridge spread his hands and said: "No, no, if you give you another 100 chances, it will not matter if you slip 100 times, as long as you kick the ball into me, I will applaud you even if you shoot from the hip ."


    Hahahaha...


    The atmosphere in the locker room suddenly became cheerful, and the haze brought by the ball drop at the end of the first half also dissipated most of it.


    After laughing, Aldridge squeezed his hands and everyone smiled and listened to his tactics.


    When it''s time to be serious, Aldridge was never ambiguous, and he never thought that just mobilizing the enthusiasm of the players would make the team win the game.


    In front of the tactical board, Aldridge draws the position of the opponent''s defensive player, softly saying: "Middlesbrough''s back line was in the vicinity of the penalty area most of the time in the first half, rarely ventured forward, and did not try to create Offside, this is the reason why we cannot penetrate the attack in the first half. What you have to do in the second half is very simple. We have to attract their defense and force them to make room in the penalty area for our offensive players. Robert, Bernd, Henrik, the three of you can play in the frontier of the penalty area. After taking the ball, you can take a long shot when you are free. It is not necessary to pursue the angle. The key is the number of kicks and the goal range. David, you are in front of the second half. Teammates¡¯ offense should play the role of center offensive fulcrum. Once the opponent¡¯s defense presses forward to compress our long-range space, you must always be prepared to counter offside, understand?"


    The players nodded seriously.


    Aldridge reminded a few defensive questions, and then gave the players a break to prepare for the second half.


    He has confidence in this back line and will not fall twice in the same pit. The sudden wing was penetrated like the first half and will never happen again.


    In fact, Aldridge would also like to thank Brian Robson, who lost the ball and gave Millwall players improved defensive awareness, that is, accumulation of experience.


    Experience is by no means learned or practiced. For defense, it is to climb from failure and imprint it in the mind.


    Returning to the side of the field, Aldridge still stood, and the second half of the game soon began. The cheering of fans from both sides filled every corner of the Aya Sumy Park Stadium.


    Aldridge is very focused on observing Middlesbrough''s tactical changes in the second half. Over the years, he has watched the ball around Europe. He seems to have developed a subconscious habit. In his mind, when he overlooks the stadium, he simulates the opponent''s overall formation. .


    Millwall started frequent long-range shots on the basis of a solid defense, threatening the goals of Middlesbrough several times, which made the fans of both sides look very nervous, and Brian Kraft''s strain was quick, he and Instead of pushing the defensive line forward, instead, he made the frontcourt players recover. Except for John Hendry swimming around in the frontcourt, the other players all went back to defend the half, forming a situation where they robbed less.


    After winning the ball, Middlesbrough''s counterattack also used the width of the court to carry out a wide range of long pass transfers, but the effect was not obvious. Their full-backs stepped forward to participate in the strategy, and they will also be returned to the Millwall side. Players are entangled in every step.


    Fifteen minutes into the second half, the game became glued and the ball moved back and forth between the two half-halves. It was almost difficult for both sides to get a shot.


    At this time, Aldridge was able to see Brian Robson''s tactical settings thoroughly.


    It is neither a defensive 532 nor a full-attack and defensive 352, or more precisely an asymmetric 442. Although this formation is a bit weird visually, the formation itself does not explain anything. The fit of the ball style.


    Middlesbrough''s two full-backs approached the assists very well. There has never been two wing players moving forward at the same time. They always maintain the position of at least four defenders on the back line. There will never be a disadvantage in numbers on the defensive end.


    However, the singular effect of the two side-by-side rotations will often catch opponents by surprise.


    Aldridge deeply admires. No wonder Middlesbrough has gone through a turbulent summer. The overall strength of the team has not been significantly improved, but it has performed well in the first nine rounds of the Premier League.


    Brian Robson still has some ability to make the team into such a powerful team with limited resources, but this is only in the first league.


    What surprises Aldridge is that while England is still being poisoned by Charles Hughes¡¯ famous POMO theory in the 70s and 80s, Middlesbrough¡¯s play is biased towards the ground and will not be swarmed. Accumulating offensive players in the front court directly oppresses the penalty area.


    In this era, the teams that can counter the "long pass" and "maximum position opportunity" POMO theory to play ground attack cooperation are unique in England. For this reason, Nottingham Forest Europe was crowned twice, Brian K. Lao Fu meritorious was pushed to the great altar, and the Nottingham Forest he coached was using a short ground pass to attack the tactics.


    Aldridge was a little hesitant. At this moment, the situation on the field is stalemate. If his team can take a point here, it will be more pros and cons for the entire season. At least they did not lose to the Premier League championship hot rice on the road. Delsburg, this is crucial to the morale and psychological impact of the players.


    Whether to use adventurous tactics to win a victory, or to hold on to a draw, just when Aldridge moves from time to time, the situation changes suddenly!

 Chapter 39： Soul of a mad lion!

    Manchester United veteran Blackmore has a large area in the frontcourt and is one of the most threatening offenses in Middlesbrough''s offense. After receiving a pass from the backcourt Neil Cowes, he was in the middle circle There were two steps with the ball nearby. After Nedvide retreated, he blocked the course of his progress, but Blackmore still forced a long pass. It was originally a large-scale transfer, but the ball was hit. On Nedved''s calf, he flew towards the bottom line, creating a corner kick.


    Millwall was overcrowded in the penalty area, Southgate greeted his teammates to mark the defense, the game has reached a fierce heat, this stage is a time when everyone is highly nervous.


    The corner kick taken by Hagnett flew towards the goal point, where Southgate had already followed Middlesbrough forward Graham Cavana.


    Looking at the ball flying in the distance, Southgate pressed against Cavana, and the two were inseparable. Southgate predicted the football track and was slightly relieved. Although the ball fell at the front point, he and Cavana There is no distance for the header to force, the two almost rushed towards the bottom line, a little too far.


    But Kavanagh jumped forcibly, Southgate also jumped up, obviously higher than Kavanagh, even if Kavana headed the goal, Southgate would block the angle even if he used a face!


    But Southgate looked incredulously as Kavana shrank her neck, and then leaned back. The ball hit him in the head, and even flew out of the penalty area.


    Is this a header ferry? Do the back top do the ball?


    Southgate does not know, but he believes that the threat in the penalty area has been lifted.


    However, the football popped out of the restricted area. The landing area was inclined at a 45-degree position, which happened to be a weak defense area. Piret stepped forward to grab the falling ball, but rushed up to a Middlesbrough player: veteran Ni Gill Pearson.


    As a defender, Pearson directly swings his legs and volleys!


    After the ball was shot, Middlesbrough fans in the stands were slightly disappointed.


    The guard''s footwork is ultimately used for relief.


    I saw the ball flying obliquely towards the penalty area, and seeing that trajectory would definitely come out of the bottom line.


    But no one expected that this volley from the goal was powerful, and the overcrowded penalty area, Schneider who returned to the defense could not hide, the ball hit his calf, then changed the direction, and the ghost was terrified. , Reflected into Millwall''s goal, goalkeeper Keller did not respond, it can be said that all Millwall players are dumbfounded.


    "GOOOOOOAL! Middlesbrough overtakes the score! 2:1! 2:1! Middlesbrough is now the top of the Premier League! We originally thought that Cavana helped Millwall header, but it was wrong. , The ball fell outside the penalty area, Pearson caught a volley and missed the goal, but someone in the penalty area helped Middlesbrough, Schneider! The young German teenager blocked the ball into his door. This is an own goal, own goal! Millwall is so sorry, will they lose the top spot because of this own goal? There are twenty minutes left in the game, only twenty minutes left."


    All Middlesbrough players involved in this corner offense rushed to the corner flag position, where Pearson was receiving cheers from the fans. Even he himself was unexpected, but the goal of the clearance made a goal.


    Schneider held his head dull and he knew what this oolong ball meant.


    Not only is the team reversed, but also their top spot.


    The young man almost knelt on the ground.


    At this time, the two men took the initiative to approach him. Southgate and Nedved, the team''s head and vice captains, embraced his shoulders.


    "Bernd, cheer me up, it''s not your fault, no one will blame you."


    "Look up, the game is not over!"


    Encouraged by the two captains, Schneider clenched his teeth and raised his head. He looked subconsciously to the sidelines, wondering how their head would react at this moment.


    Will he replace him in a rage?


    However, when he looked over, Aldridge was beckoning at him, and also pointed to Nedved, in front of Aldridge, Piray, Larson, Trezeguet were already standing there .


    As for how long Middlesbrough will celebrate, Aldridge doesn''t care.


    Although there is not much time left, Aldridge needs to explain to the players the next adjustments.


    When that goal came out, Aldridge was expressionless for a moment.


    The state of mind seems to be ethereal, and the passage of time is very slow. Brian Robson and Middlesbrough bench coach seats not far away rushed out to celebrate and became an infinitely slow slow motion.


    It was an accident that the ball was dropped, but it was also avoidable. Aldrich didn''t find himself wrong until this moment!


    Although he said that he was content to keep the draw, but he had been thinking about tactics for winning seventy minutes before the game.


    The impressive record of the first nine rounds of the league gave him complacency, but he just pretended to be low-key.


    Even when he came to the Aya Sumy Park Stadium, he did not pay more attention to defense than before. This is his subconscious mind''s rush to win.


    In contrast, Brian Robson''s Middlesbrough, obviously at home, but played very conservatively, that is really serving the victory.


    If he can do it again, Aldridge will definitely not use the same tactics.


    Middlesbrough is conservative, Millwall can be more conservative than the opponent, and their counterattacks are sharper than positional battles!


    When time goes by, Middlesbrough will be the first to bear. After all, this is their home field, and Millwall is the top team. They are the targets of their chase. In the event of a tie, the side that is hit must be It''s Middlesbrough.


    Afterwards, Audridge, who was awakened, was full of self-blame. He could decompress the player and relax the player, but no one reminded him to correct him.


    I once thought that I had a "future" memory and experience. I had already made a lot of steel, but I was just a fledgling rookie!


    The team was reversed, and in the situation of self-defeating Wulong, Aldridge knew that Millwall was pushed to the edge of the cliff. At this time, it was not only the game but also the morale to be saved. Perhaps, there is also his authority and trust as the head coach.


    He can only take a risk.


    Between the electric light and the flint, Aldridge figured it out. He was too late to blame himself and admire Robson¡¯s fox potential. He needs to respond and respond quickly. Fortunately, the plan for how to build the team is already in him. In his mind, it may not work at this time, and it is not the right time, but he can only make this choice.


    Schneider also came to Audridge with Nedved with some anxiety in his mind. Audridge didn¡¯t have much time to comfort him, so he just calmly said to Schneider: "Forget about the lost goal, you are doing very well today Excellent, but I hope you will continue this excellent until the end of the game."


    Hearing such words, Schneider almost burst into tears. He clenched his teeth and nodded fiercely. The heavy self-blame in his heart instantly turned into endless fighting spirit, and even made him forget the fatigue of the fierce seventy minutes of competition.


    Aldrich made a long story short, arranging his next tactical adjustment to this frontcourt offensive quintet, and although such adjustments are not earth-shattering, they need five people to perform in a consistent and tacit manner.


    The game restarted quickly, holding the advantage of a goal, Middlesbrough was more calm and conservative in the next game.


    The Middlesbrough fans sang from the stands. Although Brady''s "Lion Roar" was also struggling to sing, it was drowned in the 20,000 Middlesbrough fans'' singing.


    On the pitch, Nedvide took the ball and gave it to Pires on the left without hesitation. Pires took the ball and cut into the middle, directly hitting a long shot above the beam, and surprised Middlesbrough''s cold defense.


    Brian Robson frowned.


    Millwall started to do quite a bit under backwards!


    Treze was at the top, Larsson pulled out of the penalty area and leaned to the left, Nedvide was also close to the left in the frontcourt, and Pire quickly became the core of Millwall''s attack.


    Nedvide passed the ball, Pire caught the ball and Larsen played two over one, Pire went straight into the penalty area and the ball was intercepted.


    Pires took the ball inwards, Trezeguet took the ball back to the middle, and Pire took a long shot...


    In the ten minutes after the kick-off, Pires was undoubtedly the protagonist of Millwall. He completed a four-foot shot, three breakthroughs, and also created a general header opportunity for Trezeguet.


    Piray''s personal technical ability is most vividly reflected in these ten minutes, getting rid of extraordinary people, dribbling breakthroughs and exquisite passes and so on.


    As a player who scored a goal for Millwall in the first half, Pires naturally became a confidant of Middlesbrough''s back line. Marking him and compressing his range of activities naturally became Middlesbrough''s top priority. event.


    As Millwall''s offense continued to develop on the left, Middlesbrough''s defensive line inevitably had a tendency to tilt to the right.


    Aldridge stood on the sidelines and watched every move on the court. He was at least very pleased at the moment. His team did not lose its fighting spirit when it fell behind.


    Nedved, who organized the offense in the midfield and allowed the ball to run back and forth, worked tirelessly. It was like a benchmark that affected every teammate invisibly.


    Now Millwall focuses on the left wing, and even on the offensive, he still plays on the left wing, making the game rhythm very fast in the last twenty minutes!


    And every time Middlesbrough players face Millwall''s offense, they almost subconsciously put their minds on the right.


    When Pires was caught on the left and could not play, Aldridge looked up the time on the scoreboard: 88:27, 88:28...


    He was full of solemnity, he said: The time for the decisive battle is here!


    Fans of Middlesbrough cheered and laughed in the stands. When Piret was intercepted on the left and intercepted, they burst into cheers.


    Cowes made a big save, and Blackmore, who was physically unable to keep up with the rhythm of the game, was waiting for the ball in place. Brian Robson was also preparing to delay the time through substitutions and had been waiting for the chance of a dead ball.


    Just as Blackmore planned to stop football, a figure appeared in front of him.


    Defensive Titan Makelele!


    He rushed from behind to block the ball with his chest, and then passed the ball to Nedved in the frontcourt.


    After Nedvide took the ball, Middlesbrough''s back line involuntarily stared at Pires, but this time, Nedvide kicked the ball with a strong penetrating power and hit the right side. .


    Middlesbrough, whose defense line is already somewhat right-handed, the defensive players themselves did not realize how big the space on their left is!


    Schneider, who has been invisible since the creation of the own goal, has been walking on the sidewalk, but he has been pressing the opponent''s back line.


    Nedvide''s straight plug penetrated the Middlesbrough back line completely. When Fleming recovered, Schneider had firmly received the ball before the bottom line.


    Schneider, who cut the ball inside the penalty area from the bottom line, was extremely calm. The fighting spirit in his chest was stronger than ever. He knew his head was watching him on the sidelines. Now this opportunity is created by the team members'' tireless efforts. He cannot squander, otherwise he cannot forgive himself.


    There was a sudden chaos in Middlesbrough''s penalty area. Pires hit the penalty area from the right and Trezeguet rushed forward. Larson also sprinted from the penalty area line to the goal, which made Middlesbrough''s back. The line of defense contracted instinctively and stepped back.


    After Schneider stepped into the penalty area, Steve Wicks came up to block, and then Fleming bagged. He did not choose to dribble and calmly passed the ball out.


    All Middlesbrough''s backline players were shocked when they watched the ball''s trajectory.


    Not a cross in front of the goal, not a high pass.


    The **** ball actually knocked back from under Schneider''s feet to the top of the arc in the penalty area.


    The recovery of the back line of defense made a lot of empty space near the arc top of the restricted area.


    A blond and majestic horse rushed to the horse, and the horizontal knife immediately flew out!


    Aldridge gritted his teeth and clenched his fists on the sidelines. He seemed to be able to see every detail of Nedved''s shooting action. His thighs were full of power and beauty. He was like an elegant king, a golden lion !


    boom!


    A powerful shot was born from the foot of Nedved, and the ball was like a cannonball blasting into the upper left corner of the goal!


    "GOOOOOOOOOAL! Pavel Nedved! Pavel Nedved! Millwall equalized the score, now 2:2, 2:2! Millwall kicked Middlesbrough back behind him, They are still the top team in the Premier League!"


    Seeing the ball fly into the gates of Middlesbrough, Aldridge suddenly kneeled down on the spot, his fists vibrated up and down in front of him, his head closed and his head roared up!


    This goal is extraordinary!


    Top of the League One?


    Go to hell!


    Millwall, the mad lion, has a soul!

 Chapter 40： Want to keep him for life

    The Aya Sumy Park stadium was dead, and the Middlesbrough fans'' carnival came to an abrupt end. What was going on and off was the crazy roar of Millwall Lions fans.


    No one thought that Nedved would appear at the front of the penalty area, no one!


    In the first nine rounds of the league, in the eight games Nedved played, he honestly played around the middle circle, and more retreated to participate in the defense rather than boldly inserted.


    Even Brian Robson, who studied Millwall''s tactics, did not list Nedved as one of the game''s terminators.


    But when Nedved scored the equalizing goal, Brian Robson bit his teeth and closed his eyes.


    He could clearly hear the scream of Aldridge kneeling up to the sky not far away, and the roar of the stubborn face of that blond hair was not a vent, but a declaration of victory!


    Brian Robson said silently in his heart: You are wrong, boss, this is not a Millwall that cannot be underestimated, but a Millwall that will impact English football in the future!


    Twenty minutes after Middlesbrough''s overtaking, Brian Robson saw a calm and dominant Millwall.


    Not only suddenly accelerated the pace of the game, making Middlesbrough exhausted on the defensive end, but also achieved a tactical victory!


    Such oppression and purpose, as well as the strength of tactical execution, Brian Robson has been in football for twenty years, only seen in the top teams.


    After Nedv¨§d scored, his teammates rushed towards him from all directions, but he snarled his jersey and ran towards the coach''s coach seat.


    The focus of his sight was Aldridge kneeling on the sidelines and screaming in the sky. Although Aldridge was quickly hugged by the coaches of the coaching staff and drowned in the crowd, Nedved was still heading towards Aldrich Bian ran all the way.


    In Nedved''s mind came a little bit of a brief relationship with Aldridge.


    Just less than two years ago, when he was in Sparta Prague, the coach of the team also said that he was a player with no future and was a player who had to rely on luck to sit on the Spartan bench in Prague.


    Those words have always been engraved in the heart of Nedved and are the source of his active hard training every day, but he is still only a substitute in Sparta Prague.


    In the summer of 1994, when a club was willing to offer him a "high price" of more than one million pounds, even he felt that the club was joking with him.


    After coming to London, Aldridge had a knee-long talk with Nedved.


    Nedved has never seen such a young head coach, nor has he seen a head coach as serious as Aldridge.


    Aldrich not only carefully analyzed his strengths and weaknesses for Nedved, but also came up with a meticulous training plan, clearly telling Nedved that as long as he trains hard, he will return what his future will be. .


    He is by no means an engineer, he has extremely high talent and talent, although his position is in the midfield, but he can play the key to decide the game.


    Nedved had been waiting patiently. Aldridge did what he asked him to do, even if he wanted to try to participate in the attack forward, but he was restraining without Aldridge¡¯s permission. Deep down, he understood that Aldridge did everything for his own good.


    Just after conceding the ball just now, Aldridge''s tactical arrangement is very clear. To equalize the score depends on neither the left attack nor the right attack. The final finisher must be a character that the other party cannot think of, that is him: Pavel ¡¤Nedved!


    Nedved did it. The moment he did it, he had forgotten everything.


    From the middle of the Middlesbrough penalty area to the front of Aldridge, Nedved reached out to grab Aldridge¡¯s suit and shouted with excitement: "Boss, did you see? Did you see? We did it! We done!"


    Aldridge hugged him fiercely, repeating a word constantly.


    "Good job! Good job!"


    The other Millwall players also rushed over and surrounded Nedved and Aldridge who were hugging together.


    It wasn''t until the head referee came over to give a warning that their celebration ended.


    Aldrich shouted to the boys who walked back to halftime: "Come on! Beat them again!"


    Brian Robson, who heard him not far away, was dumbfounded.


    The scoreboard has reached 91 minutes, and the fourth official delayed one minute before playing the stoppage time: 4 minutes.


    With less than 3 minutes left, does Aldridge still want to take away a victory away?


    But when Brian Robson looked back at his players, he found that Middlesbrough''s players were downcast and their morale fell to the bottom.


    Seeing victory slipping through the fingers, the mental gap can be imagined.


    Millwall evenly equalized the score. At this moment, his fighting spirit was high, and it seemed that he had forgotten his exhaustion on the court. It was the eleven male lions!


    Brian Robson shook his head. He didn''t want a short-term crash to be reversed.


    Three defensive players were put on the floor in one breath. Middlesbrough spent the time in the backcourt after kicking off.


    The referee blew the whistle at the end of the game.


    The first round of the tenth round of the Premier League: Middlesbrough vs Millwall ended with a 2:2 score, and the two teams shook hands.


    Although both teams have earned a league point, but the spirit, Millwall players have learned more from this game than Middlesbrough.


    Brian Robson and Aldridge walked towards each other. After the two shook hands, the probe whispered in the other''s ear.


    "Mr. Hall, this game made me look at Millwall and you, and your team has an enviable future."


    "Brian, today you let me learn a lot, thank you. Next year I will be waiting for you at the Lion''s Cave Stadium, when we can sit down and have a drink."


    "It''s a word."


    "good luck."


    The two coaches left each other after a smile, but the smile on Robson''s face was slightly bitter.


    Aldrich can''t say that this moment is a breeze, but can only say that he has just experienced a ups and downs battle and has harvested the results he wants, and he feels a kind of heartfelt feeling.


    When passing through the interview area, the routine interview after the TV broadcast game is also waiting for Aldridge.


    Although Millwall was the top of the League One before the game, the public did not like Millwall¡¯s road trip. Most of them thought that they would suffer a loss like visiting Tranmere, but after the 90-minute battle, Millwall The fight came back with a draw, keeping the top spot in the Premier League. Although the points gap was shortened by the team behind it, it is clear that the team that is currently in the top spot in the Premier League is not Millwall.


    "Mr. Hall, how did you feel about a draw at Aya Sumy Park Stadium? Can you comment on the performance of Middlesbrough and Millwall?"


    Aldridge shook his head with a smile: "Unbelievable, too incredible, Millwall¡¯s performance today is impeccable, we played a great game, maybe this is only the first league game, but Knowing that Millwall is still very young, Middlesbrough? They perform very well, showing a strong style at home, they will not make mistakes on the court, they will control the game rhythm well, except for being beaten by Millwall In addition to scoring two goals, it is also impeccable. They are still the best team in the Premier League, and I am sure that Middlesbrough has always been the biggest favorite to win this season."


    Aldridge almost forgot to praise his team. He finally remembered his style when facing the media: to praise his opponents generously is actually to praise himself better.


    "Schneider''s own goal once left the team behind, what do you want to say about that ball?"


    "It was just an ordinary goal drop, nothing else matters. Undoubtedly, Schneider was one of the best players on the field today. He scored for his teammates in assists in the first and second half. The performance is worth cheering for the whole team."


    After a short interview, Aldridge returned to the visiting team''s locker room. All the team''s players have changed their clothes and prepared to return. Looking at their various smiles, Aldridge said loudly before leaving: "Hey, your performance today It is commendable, just like today, with confidence and determination to win, this will continue to play!"


    "Okay, boss!"


    The men responded with a smile, and then left Aya Sumy Park with Audridge.


    On the way back, Aldridge was wearing headphones to listen to music and was in a good mood.


    It¡¯s been a long time to remember the performance of the team in the game. Although it¡¯s just a game, Millwall¡¯s fighting spirit and tenaciousness in adversity are really commendable. For a player like Nedved, Aldridge I really want to keep him for life. There is no doubt that now this group of Millwall players, Nedved can fully become the lion of the mad lion!


    On such a beautiful day, Aldridge was upset by a phone call at night.


    "Aldridge, congratulations on having a draw on the road today. I watched the video of the game and Millwall is impressive."


    Aldrich lay on the sofa, holding his landline phone in his arms.


    The Scottish accent in the earpiece really upset him, but he couldn''t hate it.


    "Why don''t you talk?"


    "Alex, let''s be straight, which player do you want to ask about the possibility of transfer?"


    There was a silence on the other end of the phone.


    "Brian heard that Larson might flow into the transfer market."


    "Do you want Larson?"


    "Manchester United needs a new striker."


    "How long can you give him?"


    "What do you mean?"


    "Larsen has only played in the Premier League. He used to be in the Netherlands. Can he adapt to the Premier League and Manchester United? It all takes time, doesn''t it? How long can you give him the adaptation period?"


    The other end of the phone fell silent.


    Aldridge did not refuse Ferguson in one gulp. Instead, he retreated, trying to dispel Ferguson''s thoughts.


    Manchester United needs a striker, and it is definitely a striker who can fight. This season''s Blackburn has been crazy, and Hiller continued the god-level performance of last season.


    "Have you rejected me?"


    Aldridge smiled bitterly at the ceiling.


    "If Manchester United pays five million pounds and gives Larson a contract with a weekly salary of more than 20,000, what''s the use of me refusing? Strongly leaving him will only cause problems within the team, will he?


    "Five million pounds? How dare you make a price!"


    "Why? I bought it for millions of pounds, would I sell it for two or three million?"


    "Forget it, for five million, I would rather be killed by Keegan''s bastard."


    "That''s right, Andy Cole proved himself in the Premier League, and Manchester United don''t hesitate to incur the bill."


    ...

 Chapter 41： Momentum and gasp

    The outstanding players in the Premier League are at least the attention of the Premier League team. If Aldridge knows that his team will be cornered, it is obviously the pressure from the Premier League giants.


    As long as he can advance next season, Aldridge will try to use transfer fees and wages as obstacles to avoid the team core being poached. The only thing that worries him is that during the winter transfer window, like Manchester United missed the summer to introduce Andy Ke Well, no one knows whether Ferguson will rush to find the striker and hit his mind on Millwall in the winter.


    However, Aldridge was slightly relieved that Ferguson at least respected him, otherwise, Manchester United only need to seduce the players outside, which would cause great trouble to Aldridge. The introduction of Andy Cole is such a strategy. It''s just that Kevin Keegan is biting aside.


    After a draw at Aya Sumy Park Stadium, mid-week Aldridge led the bench to the Northeast to challenge the Magpies Newcastle United.


    The game was relatively bland. Aldridge''s first confrontation with Kevin Keegan was on the stage of the League Cup. His backup lineup faced the main team Newcastle United and became completely passive, eventually swallowing 2:0 The bitter consequences of defeat.


    When the League Cup was out, Aldridge didn''t mind. On the way back, he constantly instilled a concept in the young players: At this stage, they play the game to feel the atmosphere of the game, which is far more important than the result!


    If Aldridge pursues the results, then putting a bus in front of the door and waiting for a counterattack may not necessarily lose, but what does it mean for these young players?


    After the battle with Middlesbrough, the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the first team of Millwall suddenly increased by one grade. The process of Aldridge¡¯s offensive tactical link was gratifying. Not only the offense of the two sides became sharper, Ned Vader showed the general''s style in the midfield, and aiming at the opportunity to enter the restricted area is also a sharp edge to see the blood seal.


    In October, Millwall defeated Bristol City, Stoke City, Wolves, Sheffield United, Portsmouth, and won five consecutive victories.


    The first four games were played once a week, of which the away win against the Premier League offensive firepower Wolves is very important, and the last league in October because it is in the middle of the week, Aldridge sent a full bench, in 3:1 at home killed the visiting weaker Portsmouth.


    Millwall was firmly seated at the top of the league with five consecutive victories, and opened a 5-point gap with Middlesbrough behind him, and also with the group outside the ranking of the upgrade playoffs. The gap of 12 points.


    Less than three months after the start of the League One, Millwall had a youth storm in the League One, and the outside media immediately turned the wind.


    "Millwall sits at the top of the list and will debut on the Premier League stage for the first time next year" "Larsen Trezeguet: The Devil''s Frontline!" ¡·


    "Aldridge sword points to the Premier League! ¡·


    ...


    Aldrich was not stunned by the praises of the outside world. He kept a low-key words and deeds at all times, and did not make the team play more freely because of the consecutive battles. Instilled in the players is still a solid tactical system based on defense.


    Before Christmas, Aldridge believes that the transformation of the team this season has reached a stage where it can be suspended.


    To build a mature tactical system, it is impossible to achieve results with only a few words and a short period of one week and a half months. Aldridge used half a season to clearly define the strategy of siege from the midfield to suppress the defensive strategy. Ray, Nedvide, and Schneider were the starting points for the attack on the longitudinal center axis. Occasionally Larson retreated, making Millwall''s offensive in the frontcourt rich and flexible.


    More than half of the league, Millwall''s main lineup has already had a pleasing effect on the court, and it has abandoned the POMO theory that has poisoned England and made English football back for thirty years.


    Watching Millwall''s game, you will not see frequent side passes, nor will you see the offensive players blindly flock to the penalty area. Millwall''s offense is rich, smooth and varied.


    However, Millwall¡¯s record fell sharply during the Christmas period, losing three rounds. The poor record of two draws and one loss made the gap between them and Middlesbrough, the chaser behind them, suddenly reduced to 8 from 13 points in early December. Minute.


    At this time, outside media began to clamor that Millwall had a sign of a crash.


    Aldrich didn''t care, he knew where the problem was.


    Most of the players in the team are playing for the first time in the UK. They are not familiar with the rhythm of the winter break here. In addition, during the Christmas season, the English League drives fast. The game is very frequent, which makes many of the team focus on Christmas and The players whose family members are reunited have some energy, which is justifiable.


    Young teams need to get acquainted with new things in order to accumulate experience. Aldrich did not denounce the team¡¯s poor performance. Moreover, two of the three wins were played on the bench. They did not expect the points.


    Just entering January, there is a nearly two-week rest period in the middle of the Premier League, this is to give way to the cup, the Millwall League Cup is out early, and the FA Cup will not join the team until the end of the month. They are unlucky. Draw the opponent in the same city: Arsenal.


    In these ten days or so when there was no game, Aldridge announced a four-day vacation for the team, so that players can relax.


    And Aldridge also began to prepare for a short trip.


    On the road to life again, Aldridge has plenty of time and wealth. He will always tell himself in his heart: Cherish time and look at the outside world.


    In the past six years, Aldridge¡¯s footprints have been all over Europe. Apart from regularly watching a game a week, part of his other time will be spent on travel, photographing the landscape of various places of interest, or Enjoy the charm of different cultures.


    If he stayed there all day in London, he would feel sorry for letting him pass through the possessed heaven.


    Before leaving home, Aldridge received a call from the club''s CEO Adam, claiming that the team was interested in Millwall players.


    After querying Aldridge, he found that several teams in the Premier League have made offers to Millwall players.


    Including, Makelele, Thuram, Nedved, Larson, Pires, Schneider, all are interested in the team.


    It''s just that there really isn''t a real giant.


    After asking the team for an offer, Aldridge felt ridiculous.


    Such as Aston Villa, Leeds United, want to buy players, even the homework is not good.


    Makelele''s offer was only 1.5 million pounds, Pire 800,000, Larson''s highest, 1.8 million pounds, like Nedved, it was only 1 million pounds.


    There is a reason for the giants not to take action, because they cannot afford it!


    Thuram spent three million pounds on Millwall. As long as he wasn¡¯t a fool, he didn¡¯t pay at least five million pounds to the Premier League¡¯s top stars. Don¡¯t try to take him away from Millwall.


    Larson, Makelele too.


    Most of the clubs that offered the offer were happy, and did not investigate the major moves on the Millwall transfer market last summer in detail, otherwise they would not take humiliating and sloppy offers.


    Aldridge said to Adam on the phone: "Reject all offers for first-team players and declare that they are not for sale. In addition, you just mentioned the names of several reserve players, are you?"


    "Yes, the boss, most of them come from the teams of England B and League A. The transfer fee is not high, and the most is only one hundred thousand pounds."


    Aldridge thought about it. Those players who did not leave Millwall in the summer were deported to the reserve team. In fact, most of them planned to wait for the first team''s poor record. Aldridge will still use the veterans of last season, but Millwall However, they had an incredibly good record, so after the winter transfer window came, they did not expect it, and it was the best choice to leave quickly to continue their career.


    "If you want to leave the team, you need to list, even if you don''t need to transfer fees, you can save your salary and avoid delaying their future."


    "Okay, boss."


    Many players in the reserve team were still the main or substitute players of Millwall ranked third in the last season. It can not be said that there is no strength, only that there is no greater potential, and that they have not reached the age of old age. Aldridge does not want to waste them. It¡¯s good for both sides to be able to send them away.


    After making a decision at the transfer, Aldridge wore a slim coat, stepped on a backpack, and embarked on his winter excursion to the capital of Scotland: Edinburgh.


    Strange to say, Aldridge has been to France, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, and even Northern Europe in the past few years, but Edinburgh, the Scottish capital at his doorstep, has never been there. He probably feels that the distance is too close and did not arouse his curiosity. Mind you, plus the essence of Scottish football is in Glasgow, which is why it is ignored.


    With the relaxed mindset of traveling, Aldridge browses around the places of interest in Edinburgh. In this small and exquisite city that supports the power of Scotland, Aldridge admires the gorgeous buildings that can be seen everywhere, including the Victorian era. Outstanding ideas.


    For three days in a row, Aldridge strolled alone in the city. When he was tired, he found a cafe to rest and looked at the scenery outside the window.


    When the day of the decision to return home arrived, Aldridge walked into a coffee shop called Neil Corson with satisfaction, and after a short break, he would return to London.


    But he could never think of it. He suddenly decided to leave the team for a short trip, and stopped inadvertently. He turned into this obscure cafe, but left him with an unforgettable memory. Even if he was old, he felt how incredible his destiny was again.

 Chapter 42： Start a new life

    When he walked into the Neil Kesen cafe, Aldridge came in and ordered the waiter to order a cup of coffee and some refreshments. Then he started looking for a seat. He liked the window position so he could enjoy the scenery on the street.


    The aisle on the side of the window was blocked by a stroller. Aldrich looked down and didn''t care. The seat next to the window was empty, but there was a pen and a book on the table. He didn''t see it. Something like a guest¡¯s cup or meal thinks that this seat is empty.


    Putting the leisure bag at his feet, removing the warm scarf from his neck, unbuttoning his coat, Aldridge sat down on his seat.


    While waiting for the order to come up, Aldridge randomly opened the book on the table and was drawn by just a glance.


    This is just an ordinary writing book. The neat and elegant English-style English notes are particularly pleasing to the eye, and the lines between the lines depict a fantasy short story that Aldridge immersed in unconsciously.


    Turning page by page through the stories in the book, Aldridge didn''t notice a figure around him. His eyes were always on the writing book in his hand. From time to time he took a sip of coffee with his left hand or gave himself a fork. Give some delicious cakes in your mouth.


    When he turned to the next page with great interest, he suddenly found that the story came to an abrupt end. The blank paper made him stunned and stared at the writing book with a stunned look.


    "Sir, do you want to renew?"


    The waiter saw his coffee cup bottomed out and asked when he passed by.


    Aldrich only raised his head at this moment and smiled naturally: "Okay, thank you."


    After talking, the waiter stooped to fill him with coffee, and Aldridge found that beside him, a mature woman was standing, her figure was thin, her long blond hair was just over her shoulders, but her facial features were correct. A haggard, when Aldridge looked away, there was a sadness in the dodged eyes.


    Her slender hands clasped the stroller tightly. Aldridge found an empty stroller when she found it, and now there is a little baby girl over a year old who is chubby and looks like he is dozing off and is full of emotions. .


    Aldrich felt weird. There was a guest dining here, a strange woman stood beside him, and the waiter didn''t care?


    So when he looked at the waiter, the male waiter politely said: "Sir, the book in your hand is from this lady."


    Aldrich realized this, but he didn¡¯t see a cup or something on the table just now. He thought there was no guest here. He didn¡¯t expect it to be the lady. He quickly stood up and apologized: "Sorry, I don¡¯t Know this is yours."


    The mature and vicissitudes of the woman spoke quietly for a moment before saying softly: "It doesn''t matter."


    Aldrich''s appearance is at least harmless to humans and animals. His handsome appearance and casual dress make him smile like a big boy next door, so he often makes a good first impression on others.


    "Is this what you wrote?"


    Aldridge didn''t plan to return the book to the other party. When he saw this lady frowning slightly, Aldridge quickly said, "Please don''t get me wrong. I really like the story you wrote. It''s wonderful. The meeting is destiny, I want to please You drink a cup of coffee. In addition, if you can, can you follow me through the follow-up stories? Such a wonderful story is only half of the story. To be honest, it makes me feel very unpleasant, like being scratched by a cat, itchy Uncomfortable."


    Perhaps it was Aldridge¡¯s straightforward and funny words that moved the lady. She sat down opposite Aldridge, but bowed her head slightly, and seemed to have no confidence in herself.


    Aldridge ordered a cup of coffee for her and added some snacks, and then he started chatting casually with the lady opposite.


    The atmosphere was a bit boring at first, but soon, the mature woman''s words also increased, and she seemed to be eager to know Audridge''s aftersight, especially when she was praised by Audridge frequently, her sad expression improved. , The gloomy eyes have a little glory.


    "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Aldrich Hall. I came to Edinburgh as a tourist. My profession is a football coach."


    Aldridge smiled with a coffee cup.


    The lady''s face became sad again, and she seemed to remember something. She murmured: "Football? In Manchester, I have also watched football matches. A ball flew in the sky..."


    Obviously football reminded her of some bad memories. She shook her head bitterly, and then raised her head to say to Aldridge: "My name is Joanne Rowling. Mr. Hall, you look very young, I thought you were still studying and didn¡¯t expect to work anymore."


    Aldrich casually said: "I have no grand ideals of ruling the country, I just wanted to be a football coach, so I don''t need to go to college to study, as for the illusory stuff that cultivates quality and cultivates sentiment, uh, I am a vulgar, right My own requirements are not so high, hehe, Ms. Joanne Rowling, eh?"


    Suddenly blinking, Aldridge asked with curiosity when he lowered his head, "Sorry, forgive me, can you tell me your full name, what is the middle name?"


    Rowling looked blank and said truthfully: "Catherine."


    Aldridge sat back upright and looked at the mature woman in front of her with astonishment as if she wanted to meet her again.


    Joanne Catherine Rowling.


    JK Rowling!


    Aldrich actually felt that the face in front of him was somewhat familiar, but it was an illusion that the fog seemed to be acquaintance in the dream.


    In fact, he had seen this face before, but his memory was too old, plus what he had seen at that time was a more beautiful and colorful face, and it was never a sad face in front of him.


    Aldrich did not like literature in his previous life, but he also knew that there was a writer whose work was popular all over the world.


    The mother of "Harry Potter": JK Rowling!


    It is ashamed that Aldridge has never seen the original work of "Harry Potter". It was incomprehensible in the previous life, and the Chinese translation was not interested, but the movie has been seen. I believe that many of the fans are also like this. .


    Suddenly, Aldridge looked solemnly and asked softly, "Did you have any trouble? I don''t think your look is good."


    She was cheaply dressed and didn''t even order coffee in the cafe. Aldridge didn''t understand how she was allowed to sit here even if she didn''t even have a glass of water on the table.


    Aldridge''s question clearly caused her sadness, her eyes slightly moist, and she quickly bowed her head and said, "Mr. Hall, you are still young, there are many things that you cannot understand at your age."


    Aldrich solemnly said: "No, this is not a question of understanding. I am a relatively simple person. I solve it if I have problems. I like your work. The short story just now is very exciting, but I believe that you will still have it in the future. You can create more exciting works that are welcomed by more people, so you should focus your energy on your favorite things. Like me, I like football, so I am fully committed to being a dream My coach, anyone or anything that blocks me, will be regarded as an obstacle for me to sweep away!"


    Rowling suddenly looked up, looking at the blond guy in front of him in disbelief.


    why?


    Why can he be so confident?


    Obviously already working, I have been in contact with this society, why can I hold my head so high in this world without sunlight?


    Obviously, Aldridge is always an alternative. He did not have the British regret the gloom and depression of the old empire, nor the aggressiveness of the bullfighting. His simple attitude of life made him seem carefree and confident. Any setback can worry him.


    In his heart, since he came to London in the summer of 1986, he has let himself live more free and simple.


    As he said, the meeting was a fate, plus his sincere praise, in a short time, Rowling and Aldridge can already talk like friends.


    At this time, Aldridge knew that JK Rowling was in a very bad situation.


    She is actually a single mother in a divorce case.


    Not only does it require government relief, but it also requires psychological treatment. At the same time, she is still under the fence, the owner of this cafe is opened by her brother-in-law and other partners, so she can create literature here.


    For her, the past year was a dark year, and the breakdown of her marriage became helpless, which made her heart lingered by heavy negative emotions. If it was not her daughter who supported her, maybe she would have the courage to survive It''s gone.


    That''s why Aldridge cheered and appreciated, but moved her more than some comfort and excuse.


    After listening to her narrative, Aldridge stood up with her hands on her hands, and she said to her with a little excitement: "Ms. Rowling, you have to get up! And, thank you God, thank you Ma Lia, whatever **** is, in short, your brand-new life has begun! The kind of **** who abandons his wife and daughter, it is right to draw the line, you should think like this, you are free, you are free, you can You can make yourself happy by pursuing the life you want, just as your life starts again, believe me, when life has a new starting point, don¡¯t hesitate to hold it, hold it, and let yourself stay Start again with regret!"


    The well-known JK Rowling stares intently and gazes at the handsome face of the year above the oblique eyes. The inspiring and inspiring look is like a dazzling light, shining brightly and yearningly. I want to hold my palm as a pearl and stare for a lifetime.


    It has to be said that inspiring people is what Odric has achieved in the past half a year. To be a good coach, it is essential to be eloquent. He involuntarily applied this set to Rowling.


    Rowling stuttered for a while and then stuttered: "But, but I don''t know, what, what to do."


    It was only after Aldridge''s inquiry that Rowling used old-fashioned typewriters when writing novels at home, and even he felt distressed. His slender, jade hands struck **** the cold typewriter, and it was a crime.


    Aldridge looked at his watch. He was going to catch the train, otherwise he would not be able to catch up with the team''s training tomorrow. He has always been a punctual coach within the team, without a moment of slack.


    ¡°Sorry, I¡¯m leaving, I¡¯m going back to work in London, but you can rest assured, I can provide you with some assistance, please don¡¯t get me wrong, it¡¯s not sympathy and mercy, it¡¯s my pleasure to wait for you, wait a moment, I Go make a phone call."


    A little help is only a hand for Aldridge, but for J.K. Rowling, it will make a tremendous change in life. Aldrich is not determined to be a kind and kind person, but he believes One word: fate.


    Since he met Rowling in trouble, he helped him out and changed any friend, and he turned around.


    Going to the bar, Aldridge picked up the phone and called Andrew''s apartment, briefly told the matter, let Andrew come to Edinburgh tomorrow, and arranged for a lawyer to take over Rowling''s divorce lawsuit.


    In fact, the lawsuit itself is just a tug-of-war for problems such as custody and alimony.


    Andrew didn''t know what nerve Aldridge had, but his brother said, he never refused.


    Aldrich arranged this, took the leisure bag, found an Andrew''s business card from inside and handed it to the dazed Rowling, he said: "Ms. Rowling, this is my brother''s business card, he is a lawyer , I have asked him to help you with the lawsuit, the litigation fee is free, in addition, I will lend you a sum of money, please forget the pressure of life, any difficulties are temporary, you are destined to write with your own hands It¡¯s a wonderful story of the world. To be honest, I admire your talent. Well, sorry, I¡¯m really in a hurry. My brother will be here to find you tomorrow morning. Goodbye."


    After talking, Aldridge hurried out of the cafe. His schedule was always methodical. Today¡¯s unexpected encounter with Rowling made him a hurry.


    Rowling, holding a business card in the cafe, watched Aldridge get lost in a taxi.


    At this time, the waiter near the bar shook his head lightly: "Looking at him, I''m afraid it''s a liar."


    Rowling turned around and pushed the stroller out, she couldn''t figure it out.


    What can be deceived if you have nothing to yourself?

 Chapter 43： Noisy neighbor

    The morning light is shining, and there is a sunny morning in London in winter.


    Aldridge was standing next to the training ground in the club¡¯s winter sportswear, and wearing warm gloves, he casually chatted with his coaching staff.


    Soon, the players also came to the training ground one by one on time. Aldridge was very grateful for the decision he made six months ago to make Southgate, Nedved, and Larson the three captains of the team. These three are now the mainstay of Millwall. The strength on the court is nothing to say. At the same time, professional ethics is also obvious to everyone. There are three of them as role models. Other players can¡¯t afford to play big names, and they are late for training. Never happened.


    "Have you been happy in the past few days?"


    Aldridge is more and more a leader. He asked the question. Most of the young and old players laughed and did not speak, and the other young and cheerful ones talked about it.


    Compared with other clubs still training, Millwall suddenly gave the players a holiday. Such a good thing made them feel very happy.


    The team needs to take a breather. Since October, they have been fighting nonstop non-stop and have to step on the brakes when appropriate.


    The short holiday made the players happy, and when they returned to the training ground after their physical and mental relaxation, perhaps none of them remembered the previous three rounds of victory, Aldridge minimized the negative impact of morale.


    Because Schneider was injured, for the sake of insurance, Aldridge let him cultivate for a month, and Beckham temporarily entered the main lineup.


    Five days later, they went north and south to Yorkshire to challenge Sheffield United in the top of the league table.


    For Millwall''s previous three rounds of victory, the outside world is concerned about the result of this game. Whether Millwall can withstand the pressure and reverse the decline is likely to be the watershed for the league champion.


    After all, if Middlesbrough wins, the gap between the two teams will be shortened to within two games, and after six rounds, the two teams competing for the championship will usher in the second round of the league.


    In the context of widespread concern outside the world, Aldridge led the team to easily win at 2:0 away, without blood.


    Middlesbrough failed to win Greensby at home on the same day, which widened the gap between the two teams to 10 points.


    Millwall won the game and continued to follow this momentum. The Champions League suspense is likely to be ended at the end of February. At the end of February, can Middlesbrough suppress Milwall¡¯s momentum at the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium Going on, will determine the fate of the two teams.


    After all, who is going to play a cruel play-off game to get tickets for the promotion? !


    Returning to London happily, Aldridge had just returned home and the phone in the study rang.


    "It¡¯s done, I¡¯ll find someone who specializes in divorce lawsuits to take over, help her rent a new apartment, pay three years of rent, hire a babysitter, pay the salary automatically from my company, and give her back 30,000 pounds."


    Andrew''s slightly tired voice came from the telephone receiver.


    Aldridge breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a chuckle: "How long have you not been in the gym? You shouldn''t do any physical work? How can you seem tired?"


    "Uh, running back and forth is also tiring. Aldrich, I''m a little confused."


    "What do you mean?"


    "What do you understand?"


    "do not understand."


    "Okay, why would you help her? Even if you like mature women, she, IMHO, I can''t see her charm."


    Aldridge laughed dumbly, and sighed after a while: "Andrew, you have changed."


    "What does it have to do with me?"


    "Why can''t you just look at this matter? Maybe your souvenirs to give fashion to famous watches and bags are just flattering for women to give you a hug, but it doesn''t mean me too. Ms. Rowling has the talent we don''t envy , She just encountered a difficult situation in life, nothing more, help her I have nothing to ask for, just hope she can cheer up, and not be disturbed by the trivial things in life, carefree to show her unparalleled to the world Talent."


    Andrew fell into silence and sighed quietly after a long time: "Aldrich, you are right, I have changed. Obviously very simple question, but I am a jerk. Won''t you hate me?"


    Aldridge laughed: "How come? Everyone''s lifestyle is different. Besides, will I become an **** in the future? I can''t guarantee it myself. Why should I criticize others with a clear eye. Talk about other things. ."


    The two brothers talked about some career topics. In addition to holding the contracts of most Millwall players, Andrew''s agent company is now trying to sign in several Premier League players.


    But in general, Andrew''s company is still undisclosed, and it has not yet set off a big storm in the brokerage industry. This industry needs fame, long-sleeved dance in the transfer market, and a broad network of players in commercial development. In fact, the core It is to "generate income" for players.


    As soon as he talked about football-related topics, Aldridge''s mouth could not stop the car. Under his indoctrination, Andrew''s idea of ??"signing players to go to Millwall" was completely changed. Now his agent The company has just started, Mo said that it is a famous star. Even ordinary players may be difficult to sign, but it doesn¡¯t matter. At this stage, he only needs to sweep young players on a large scale. Even if he can¡¯t sign, establishing a good relationship is also a foundation for the future. The broker contract is not a lifetime. A lot of them are signed every three years. After a transfer that can operate several stars, Andrew''s company has started the brand.


    The following day, Aldridge received a courier from Rowling from Edinburgh.


    There is a thick copy of the manuscript in the courier and a letter.


    Aldrich opened the letter to read first. In the letter, Rowling expressed her gratitude to him, and the manuscript was a copy of the work she was creating. Although it was not completed, she hoped to let Aldrich see it first. And give some comments on her works.


    Aldrich accidentally discovered that the manuscript in his hand turned out to be the unfinished Harry Potter and the Magic Stone.


    As for what to evaluate, Aldridge considers himself unqualified. He is just a lively one. If Rowling is a football player, Aldridge is at best a fan who cheers off the court. If he is allowed to play on the field, then he will definitely be on the sidelines.


    However, for the manuscript that could read Harry Potter, Aldridge was overjoyed, but he also knew the importance of the manuscript, so he never took the manuscript out of the study and lay quietly in the study at night On the sofa, listening to soothing light music, read it with interest.


    In the past, he was unable to understand the original English books, even if he could understand it, it would be a realm of unsatisfactory words.


    It is different now. He can at least understand everything depicted in the manuscript without any obstacles, and naturally imagine the wonderful world in his mind.


    Interestingly, Rowling is not without intersection with football. She feels boring about the football game, but the football flying in the sky gives her creativity. The Quidditch World Cup in Harry Potter is actually the source football match.


    After reading the manuscript, Aldridge wrote a reply to Rowling. Since then, although the two rarely meet, they will always keep in touch by correspondence. This relationship has been until "Harry Potter and the Magic Stone" officially The day of publication.


    At the end of January 1995, Millwall ushered in a highlight game: the FA Cup.


    From the third round of the FA Cup, the teams of the Premier League and the Premier League joined the battle group to form a knockout match between 64 teams to catch the fight.


    Millwall was very unlucky, drawing directly to his opponent Arsenal.


    If there is anything to be thanked for, it is probably the increase in ticket income at home. In addition, the opponent is Arsenal, and the broadcast income is not cheap.


    There are many enemies of Millwall in history, including Liverpool, Manchester City, Leeds United, Jilinham, etc., but half of the ways these teams have hostility and even grudges against Millwall are because of At a certain period of time, the other half is caused by the fierce conflict between the fans of both sides.


    Premier League giants like Liverpool will not take Millwall in their eyes at all, but more of Millwall''s strength and unilateral grudge.


    In the hatred of these non-Derby relations, football hooligans played a key role behind the scenes.


    In general, Millwall has three enemies because of its geographic location in London, West Ham United and Crystal Palace, and Charlton.


    If expressed in terms of hatred, West Ham United is full value, Crystal Palace 80, Charlton 60.


    Not all teams in London are enduring with Millwall, and the strength gap also makes those strong teams look down on Millwall, the strong always disdain the weak, just like Tottenham to Arsenal. The hatred value is 100, but Arsenal is only 80 against Tottenham at best, and Millwall, Tottenham and Arsenal have the potential to avoid the river.


    With the exception of West Ham United, a foe that will probably endless from generation to generation, Millwall''s second hatred is not Crystal Palace, but Chelsea in West London.


    This is probably also a factor for fans. Chelsea is in West London. As West London has become invaluable in the past few decades, the loyal fans of the traditional working class can only move away from West London, where prices and land prices have skyrocketed, and the consumption level is relatively low. Moved to London, poor in the east and rich in the west, rich in the south and rich in the north, most of the Chelsea fans have come to the Millwall area, and therefore, from the war between fans naturally rose to the club, so a strange The phenomenon.


    The more powerful Chelsea hate Millwall to a greater extent than Millwall hates Chelsea!


    One can imagine that in the Millwall area where football hooligans are famous, can Chelsea fans get a bargain here? Therefore, Chelsea hated Millwall even more, but Millwall just hated each other in return.


    Located in the Greater London area, in a general sense, there is a derby relationship between all clubs, and among those teams with no history of hatred, some are just the simplest city derby meaning: who is the boss of this city !


    Because of his strength, Millwall could not participate in the competition of the "King of London" of Arsenal, so the atmosphere of Derby would not be very strong.


    But Arsenal is an annoying club, especially the London team is very disgusted.


    Because Arsenal used to move from South London North to North London, on the Seven Sisters Street, they almost moved to Tottenham¡¯s doorstep, grabbing sites with others. This kind of behavior is disgusted by any team and fans, similar Manchester United, a foreign household, simply does not get the hearts of a wide range of local fans in Manchester. Manchester City¡¯s fan base is more solid than Manchester United, and Arsenal fans are more from the neighboring counties in the north, but with London¡¯s International diversification has become more open. Many neutral fans have become fans of Manchester United or Arsenal in later history.


    The FA Cup playing Arsenal, at best, can create some sparks in London, but it can not set off too much passion, if it is Millwall against West Ham United or Chelsea, it will be lively.


    Aldridge only faced the FA Cup with his ordinary heart, but unexpectedly, some people were restless and insisted on blocking him.


    On the morning of the game, the cover title of The Times was: George Graham: Arsenal will teach Millwall to respect football, and Aldridge is a cancer in English football!

 Chapter 44： Dogs bite people, people bite dogs!

    Aldrich rarely reads newspapers. It is not that there is no news in the newspapers, but there are too many news in the newspapers. Although there are no professional football newspapers in the UK, the news about football on various newspapers and tabloids in various categories is very interesting. Dazzling, from the court to the off-site lace news, from the club''s "explosive" headlines in the locker room to the speculative future of the team players, etc., while dizzying, there is no way to determine the true reliability of the news.


    Coupled with the poor professional ethics of the British media, Aldridge was naturally too lazy to read the newspapers. Most of the time he read the BBC news when he was eating every day. He really had valuable information about football. Someone in the club collected and verified it for him. .


    Early in the morning of the third round of the FA Cup, Aldridge got up well dressed and went downstairs to the dining room for breakfast with his parents.


    Although he is an adult, Aldridge still lives with his parents, probably because he was often away from home in the past few years, so Arthur and Amelia are very happy. The family atmosphere is always happy when they eat together every day. .


    But this morning, Aldridge sat down at the table, and the nanny at home poured him a cup of coffee. Aldridge had just picked up the cup, and Arthur, who was still in his pajamas and had a big belly, was blowing his beard and slammed the newspaper in his hand. At the dinner table, he grumbled: "Graham, asshole! His buttocks are not clean, but also disgusting others! The **** spewed out of his mouth, "The Times" actually published on the big page, shit, Ross, from today on, the Times will not be ordered at home!"


    Rose was an employee who was employed by the elder brother Barnett, but he was appointed to serve as an assistant to Arthur in the Hall family. In his thirties, he is a reliable man. Arthur and Amelia usually travel and spend on matters such as travel, He is in his own hands and can be regarded as a manager who serves Arthur Hall around the clock. At 7 o''clock in the morning, he will inevitably come to the villa to wait for a dispatch.


    Having breakfast at the Hall''s house became a habit two years ago, and Rose nodded lightly.


    Arthur looked at Aldridge, and his anger was still over, saying: "Son, you have to teach them a good meal today, especially that Graham. Don¡¯t think a few champions are great, Arsenal? Huh, don¡¯t say It¡¯s Millwall now, and Millwall a few years ago, playing football is better than them! This ungrateful guy!"


    Aldridge nodded with a smile, and at the same time picked up the "Times" on the table.


    Before reading the content, Aldridge first thought of George Graham.


    This meritorious coach of Arsenal still has a certain relationship with Millwall, but he has nothing to do with Millwall that Aldridge knows.


    Before the arrival of Aldridge in 1986, Graham was the head coach of Millwall, bringing the team from the third-level league to the then British second team. In the 85/86 season, Millwall stood firm in the British second team. Heeled, and just after that season, he went to another team in London to pick up the coach: Arsenal.


    Arthur''s "forgetfulness" is a bit overstated. After all, Graham''s achievement in Millwall is not worth mentioning at all.


    Entering Arsenal''s Graham, helped Arsenal achieve a period of glory before the establishment of the Premier League, extremely utilitarian practical football, opened the Arsenal five-back tactical formation, Arsenal won several championship trophies under his hands, Last season was still the winner of the European Cup of Winners, but Arsenal did not carry forward under his hands, Mo said that let neutral fans recognize Arsenal, even Arsenal¡¯s own fans feel that Arsenal under Graham¡¯s coaching Despair, 1:1 doctrine is the main theme of Arsenal. Defensive record only 18 goals in the championship season only makes people feel numb. Watching Arsenal''s game is as sleepy as walking into the library.


    Aldridge carefully read the news, his expression tepid.


    The apparent source of Graham''s rhetoric comes from Millwall''s upcoming lineup in the FA Cup.


    Millwall has two sets of lineups, which is no secret. Pre-game predictions are also boring things that the media like to do. Thomson of The Sun wrote an article looking forward to this game. As the earliest A reporter who met Qi, Thomson knew the current situation of Millwall very well. Based on the example of the League Cup against Newcastle United as an example, he boldly predicted that this game against Arsenal, Aldridge will still send a younger Two lineups to deal with Arsenal.


    "Compared with the ubiquitous Newcastle United, Arsenal are going downhill. The achievement of that brilliant Arsenal last season is already the end of the crossbow. In the face of such opponents, Aldridge should still use the strategy of using the second team in the cup. ."


    Such words reached Graham''s ears, and the opponent started a slam attack on Millwall the day before the game.


    It''s not without aim.


    For example, Aldridge joined Millwall and forced the entire coaching staff to resign. Last season''s players, except for goalkeeper Keller and rookie Lucas, all others were abandoned.


    Even Aldridge''s recruitment of big players cost him his attack.


    Aldridge is a typical example of deviant in English football that is relatively conservative at this stage.


    After reading the headline of the cover published in The Times, Aldridge ate his breakfast leisurely and went to the club step by step.


    The Sun¡¯s prediction is correct. Aldridge does intend to use the second lineup to play this FA Cup. Perhaps according to the current momentum, Aldridge has room to use the main lineup to punch the FA Cup. But he dismissed such thoughts.


    Although Millwall has 26 players in the first team, excluding two borrowed from Manchester United and 24 others, but if he is promoted to the Premier League next season, I am afraid that many young players will have difficulty adapting to the Premier League game, even the main players are In this way, the Premier League and the Premier League are separated by a line, but the intensity and level of the game are very different.


    He wants young players to grow up as soon as possible, which requires players to play more games, and occasionally the big scenes must be warmed up in advance. This is the most important thing.


    As for whether to use a half-main force and half-replacement lineup as a fluke, Aldridge has never had such an idea. The tacit understanding between the main force and the substitute will make the team''s tactical system collapse.


    At the pre-match press conference, Aldridge arrived as scheduled, and the number of reporters under the stage had exceeded 30. This game is a confrontation between the leaders of the British League and one of the traditional three giants in England, which naturally attracts attention.


    Aldrich sat down calmly and smiled: "Is there anything you want to ask?"


    "The Sun" Thomson directly raised his hand and asked: "Mr. Hall, can you talk about the starting list of the game?"


    Aldrich casually said: "Goalkeeper: Butt. Defenders: Neville, Richards, Materazzi, Zambrotta. Midfielder: Glenn Charles, Gattuso, Vieira, Barack , Beckham. Forward: Solskjaer."


    Thomson was amused when he heard Aldridge¡¯s starting list. His article in the newspaper was prescient, but he blushed again when he heard it.


    Listen to Aldridge, Millwall is going to play 451, which is obviously a huge difference from his prediction of 442.


    He quickly raised his hand and asked again: "Mr. Hall, who is Gattuso? Also, where did Kevin Phillips go?"


    Aldridge replied casually: "Philips suffered some minor injuries during training. In this game, he will sit on the bench. Gattuso is one of our young players. He is in the midfield. I think he has already With a level that can be officially played, his performance in training has won the recognition of the entire coaching staff."


    Gattuso has never appeared in the official game before. When the second lineup played in the game, Vieira partnered Barack in the midfield.


    The reporters present today, except for Thomson¡¯s opportunity to praise for the articles he wrote, most of the other reporters had a bad smile.


    "Daily Mail" reporter Richard, who also has a good relationship with Aldridge, asked directly: "Mr. Hall, did you read the newspaper today?"


    The hall quieted down instantly.


    All eyes were on Aldridge''s face.


    Aldridge blinked, "Why? Didn''t Graham give you the news? What do you want from me?"


    Richard fled out but said nothing, he smiled: "George Graham is diverting his attention. He is now facing the FA investigation about his taking bribes in the transfer of players. Fools can see that he The attack on Millwall is to make everyone forget his lawsuit. Ha ha, even if Arsenal encountered not Millwall or other teams today, he will lash out. This old-fashioned method can¡¯t even be deceived by readers. The few words he said were not news at all, but more like a poor performance."


    I have to say that Richard¡¯s remarks made the peers agree. Only the Times reporter shook his head and smiled. Today¡¯s cover headline did not increase much sales. The fans are not idiots. Everyone knows that Graham is in black gold. The storm, attacking Millwall just wanted to reduce the negative impact.


    Aldridge also laughed. He didn¡¯t want to say anything. Graham was caught in a black gold scandal. He might face the prosecution of the FA. Arsenal club was under pressure from inside and outside. He just wanted to be a watcher. But Graham He was about to pull him into the water, then Aldridge had to fall into the rocks.


    Originally, the black-box trade of black gold has been in existence since the birth of professional football in England. Famous coaches such as Brian Crawf have been pulled off. What is Graham, what kind of scandal in the future Will still appear uninterrupted.


    Aldridge cleared his throat and said seriously: "Well, I understand that for the current media, dog biting is no longer news, and people biting dogs are not worth seeing, are they?"


    The reporters in the audience enjoyed themselves.


    Aldrich is always like this. Sven is decent and humorous at the same time, and always gives them some alternative news. This is a good trip!


    Graham is indeed like a mad dog at this moment, who sees who bites who.


    Who is Aldridge?


    It is now the most famous young coach in English football!


    Although not in the Premier League, his appearance has attracted widespread attention, and has almost locked the LMA (England Football League Coaches Association)''s best coach of the Premier League this season.


    Attacking Millwall and degrading Aldridge will only make Graham disgraceful.


    Because there is no reason, Millwall''s record is soaring. In contrast, Arsenal has slipped in the middle of the Premier League and is no longer brilliant.


    Aldridge''s face tightened, and Shen Sheng said: "Mr. Graham''s evaluation of Millwall disappointed me. He even forgot that he was a part of Millwall."


    "Arsenal under his supervision is ugly!"


    "He was able to turn a group of outstanding young players emerging from Arsenal in the late 1980s into the best team in Europe, but the result? Looking at the current Arsenal, I can''t see that they have the temperament of championships, even There is no fighting spirit to challenge the champion."


    "It is rumored that he accepts bribes. I will not comment. I only know that the rumors about him have also hurt the Arsenal club. Imagine that you are an Arsenal player and the head coach was disturbed by troubles outside the court. Under the premise, can you still concentrate on playing football?"


    "I hate Arsenal? No, there is no war between Millwall and Arsenal. I also admire several players from Arsenal, such as Tony Adams, Seaman, etc., but they will never join Millwall, even if We will be promoted to the Premier League next season. I can only say that I appreciate it. It does not mean that I envy. Millwall¡¯s players have made me proud, and we still have a bright future. Now Arsenal have already watched Less than a touch of sunshine."


    Aldrich, who has always used a gentle image to show his personality, faced the media in public for the first time and shot at other clubs.


    And the major newspapers after the game, invariably carried out large-page reports, sales are amazing!


    "Are you still watching dogs biting people? No, let''s watch people bite dogs!"

 Chapter 45： Corruption and Steel Barrier

    In the third round of the FA Cup, Millwall vs. Arsenal officially started!


    The Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium was packed, and Graham received huge boos from all the fans when he entered because of the Times published today!


    For the 50-year-old head coach, returning to the Lion''s Cave Stadium is by no means home, he is just a rushed passenger here.


    On the other hand, when Aldridge entered the stadium, the audience cheered.


    Now there is only one owner of this stadium: Aldridge.


    Through half a season of coaching performance, Aldridge quickly became the darling here.


    As usual, he signed the fans in the stands near the stage and then calmly walked to the home team coach.


    The South Grandstand has now been completely occupied by the "Lion Roar" fan organization. They today ingeniously printed a large English letter on the back of the jersey and turned around to form a striking statement.


    "We only love Aldridge!"


    George Graham glanced across the grandstand. In his memory, Millwall''s grandstand should not be the way it is now, and all these changes came from the young guy not far away.


    After seeing Aldridge in the corner of his eyes, George Graham couldn''t help but feel angry.


    Is it because the other party is young?


    In the limelight?


    Or is it because of the unexpected words and deeds of the other party?


    In other words, the dress code when Audridge directed the game was uncomfortable.


    In autumn, Aldridge will wear a decent suit with a stand-up collar, and he looks personable.


    It''s cold winter now, and the warm coat Aldridge wears also feels very special, and in the upper left corner of the coat, there is also the team logo of Millwall, which is a dazzling blue lion.


    The same is true of other coaching staff members. They dress uniformly and have a touch of elegance. On another occasion, they are male models on the catwalk. I''m afraid no one will doubt it.


    All signs seem that Aldridge is a different kind of football, but also rejected by traditional England.


    Other coaches do not like Aldridge, but fans like it, especially neutral fans, like football and star chasing are combined, like a club, will certainly like the star players or coaches in the club.


    Aldridge can tolerate other things, but dress can not.


    He has a 20-year-old aesthetic, like the current English football, big-name coaches such as Ferguson wear the club''s warm clothing, how to look like Glasgow dock workers.


    Don¡¯t mention Kevin Keegan. When he was visiting Newcastle United in the League Cup, Kevin Keegan, who was still young in the coaching profession, had long curly hair and wore a wide crimson suit. Never exaggerate.


    Aldrich''s previous suits were made by him personally after communicating with the tailor. Before the winter came, he directly ordered a suitable slim coat for each of the club''s coaching staff. After printing the team emblem, it looks spiritual. Hundred times, but also chic.


    It is precisely this kind of sword approach, Aldridge just standing on the court can attract the frequent attention of the broadcast lens.


    There is a reason why other coaches hate Aldridge. If he stands without a word, he can overshadow other people''s limelight. This is really maddening!


    While Graham was thinking about something, Aldridge swept Arsenal''s lineup slightly with regret.


    This game, Graham is really inevitable.


    Almost all the main battle!


    Goalkeeper: David Seaman.


    Defenders: Lee Dixon, Tony Adams, Martin Keon, Steve Boulder, Nigel Winterbourne.


    Midfielders: Paul Mason, Paul Davis, John Jensen.


    Forwards: Ian Wright, Kevin Campbell.


    This lineup, except for the 15-year veteran of the Gunners and the 34-year-old Paul Davis, the other players are still playing the year.


    Twenty-seven-year-old Tony Adams, twenty-eight-year-old Martin Keon, twenty-six-year-old Paul Mason, twenty-nine-year-old John Jensen, even Ian Wright, only thirty year old.


    Aldridge wanted to grab Graham''s clothes and ask: What are you doing in your own way? !


    When he entered the main gunner, why did the group of young handsome men lose their hands?


    Five hundred thousand pounds let go of Andy Cole. In less than three years, Andy Cole joined Manchester United half a month ago, Ferguson was slain by six million pounds by Kevin Keegan, Newcastle United The team made more than four million pounds!


    A player who set a new transfer record in English football was released by the Gunners three years ago.


    In Graham''s eight years, this Arsenal, which could have created a greater glory, only won two league championships, one league cup, one FA cup, plus last year''s European Cup Winners Cup, and then And quickly fell.


    This season''s Premier League, Arsenal don''t talk about impacting the championship, even in London can not stand up.


    Aldrich shook his head. The ups and downs of this team is a typical coaching responsibility, because after the arrival of the French who created a new generation of gunmen, most of the players on the field were activated again, which is the problem of coaching level.


    Graham''s conservative tactics suppressed the talents and fighting spirit of the players. They also neglected management, and caused these premature stars to fall, alcohol and women, squandering and indulging, and squandering their youth. By this season, the team The people have long been distracted, and many players are bored here and moved to leave the team.


    The referee''s whistle made Aldridge refreshed.


    The first half of the game began.


    Millwall played very calmly from the start of the game and was not in a hurry to push the ball forward, calmly and orderly kicking the ball back and forth in the midfield and continuously transitioning the ball back and forth.


    The biggest change in Millwall today is the midfield.


    The configuration of the former double midfielder has become a triple midfielder today.


    Fans in the stands accidentally discovered that there was a new face on the court, not tall but very strong Gattuso!


    What role can he play on the court?


    After observing for a period of time, the fans discovered that unless absolutely guaranteed, the two midfielders, Vieira and Barak, will never give the ball to Gattuso. Occasionally, the ball is under his feet, which is also very concise and Quickly send the ball to a safe place.


    His characteristics and functions do not seem to be obvious at all, more like a dispensable person.


    But some signs can be seen in the station.


    Barak went further, Vieira was near the middle circle, and Gattuso dragged behind.


    Both Glenshare and Beckham, plus Solskjaer, are taking part in the team''s positional offense. Millwall played very patiently, often after a dozen feet of passes before hitting long shots at a good angle.


    Barak and Solskjaer''s long shot outside the penalty area did not threaten Seaman. Arsenal''s counterattack was very simple, quickly passed through the midfield, pulled the wing, and then allowed the forward to score through his personal ability.


    But their counterattack, the ball will be accurately and effectively intercepted by Millwall when passing through the midfield.


    When Gattuso broke the ball from the foot of John Jensen for the second time, Millwall fans in the stands were excited to find out: this is the second Makelele!


    In normal training, Gattuso often exchanges defensive experience with Makelele. The defensive characteristics of the two are similar, but it is impossible to completely replicate. Makelele''s simple and clear shot after the ball is broken, it is not the average person. What I learned is almost a subconscious reaction of the brain, and make a correct judgment.


    Vieira, who has hone through most of the season, is getting better and better, and with Barack, who always has a strong spirit, Millwall has cast a steel barrier in the midfield!


    This directly led to Arsenal''s ground pass and could not find their forwards at all, so Arsenal returned to the British long pass and the ball wanted to cross the midfield sky to directly find the forwards in the penalty area.


    But Richards and Materazzi are not easy generations, fighting for their position, Arsenal''s striker has no advantage at all.


    After playing for 30 minutes in the first half, Millwall became more and more energetic and more powerful. The coordination in the midfield was very smooth. Instead, Arsenal veteran Davis was breathless and tired.


    Frequent long shots made Arsenal''s back line angry. Adams and Keon commanded the team''s defense line to push forward. They were not afraid of showing their backs. Their back line was not only famous for the Premier League, but even made all European teams. Bored, they also have a housekeeping skill, that is to create offside!


    The tacit understanding of this line of defense is difficult for other teams to copy, and therefore, the success of repeated offside is their proud ability.


    In the 40th minute of the first half, Tony Adams saw Barak distribute the ball to the foot of Beckham on the right. Seeing that Beckham had no intention of dribbling, he stepped forward wisely and put Solsk in front of him. Ya rested offside.


    The other two central defenders tacitly put Solskjaer into the offside trap, and Beckham''s oblique long pass came as expected.


    Tony Adams raised his hand to signal Solskjaer offside!


    But the sideman did not raise the flag.


    With a strong spin, the ball landed on the left side of the penalty area, where Maglenchard sprinted and hit the middle directly. Solskjaer lightly pushed the ball to the far corner to score!


    Tony Adams is mad!


    He rushed to the lineman and snarled: "The guy in the middle is offside! This goal should be blown away!"


    At this time the offside rule has not been further modified, so if Solskjaer is offside, then Glencharr will be penalized for offside even if he does not offside at the far end!


    Only after the new offside rule was revised in 2003, under the premise of encouraging offense, will the players who are offside but not participating in the offense be ignored.


    The lineman said indifferently: "That player is not offside."


    Slow motion on TV shows that there is a loophole in the back line of Arsenal''s offside, and Glenn Charles slowly moved from the side to the penalty area before Beckham passed the ball. This made Dickson who was marking him follow. At the end, Dixon was parallel to Solskjaer in the middle. When Adams raised his hand, Dixon was misled and stopped for a second, causing Glencharr to leave him behind.


    After Solskjaer scored, Millwall players ran to the sidelines to celebrate, and the familiar rhythm rang from the stands.


    "Ole, Ole, Ole Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole Ole..."


    Graham''s face was so blue that he roared on the sidelines to make the players attack aggressively!


    Aldridge seemed very calm. He just mentioned the goal just now in terms of tactical arrangement. Arsenal''s back line is used to creating offside. In fact, thanks to the current offside rule, as long as one person is offside, he will be sentenced to offside. So, there is a lot of empty space behind their defense.


    Arsenal, who is used to playing defense, is behind!


    Graham, do you have any ideas?


    This is just Millwall''s bench.

 Chapter 46： Gunman

    After the team led by one goal, Aldridge pulled his right hand out of the coat pocket and sternly fanned back into the backcourt.


    He did this for Captain Materazzi.


    Seeing the marshal''s action, Materazzi retreated towards the backcourt while shouting at his teammates: "Now we are ahead, as the leader said before the game, now all shrink back to me, especially the big one Guard, you need to help Phil defend more!"


    Predicting the situation on the court is one of the tasks for the head coach to arrange tactics before the game. Aldrich usually arranges the tactics in stages for the game. As for the tactics after the backwards, he never arranges the tactics before the game, which will hurt morale. When backwardness occurs, he often plays on the spot to adjust.


    Seeing Materazzi convey his intentions, Aldridge thrust his right hand into the warm pocket again.


    After the goal just came out, he just applauded, no more celebration.


    Now, he lowered his head as if casually looking at the turf under his feet, occasionally taking two steps back and forth.


    Although Arsenal do their best, it does not mean how dominant they are in the game.


    This is an Arsenal with distinct characteristics and a clear length.


    Last season, they scored fourth in the Premier League, but their goals did not even rank in the upper reaches, only scored 53 goals in 42 rounds, which is almost 30 different from the winning Manchester United.


    More distinctively, Arsenal''s away goals are more than home goals.


    Is it because they are more effective on the road?


    of course not.


    They are traditional giants. Most of the teams that go to Highbury to challenge them are mainly defensive, which makes it difficult for Arsenal to break the goal. It is difficult to score when attacking. In the away game, their defensive counterattack has become greater. Play space.


    Now Aldridge let the team recover, let Arsenal attack, Millwall to fight back!


    The tactical contests in football matches are actually similar to Tianji horse racing, and different tactics are used in different stages.


    After the Arsenal kick-off, Millwall¡¯s players, except for Solskjaer¡¯s harassment near the middle ring, all other players recovered the halftime. There are Gattuso, Vieira, Barak and other players in front of the back line. The steel barrier, Glennshire and Beckham assisted Neville and Zambrotta on the sidelines, greatly compressing the space of the positional battle, which allowed Arsenal to connect after a few cross-cutting attempts. No shots.


    The first half ended quickly and Millwall returned to the locker room with a one-ball advantage.


    During the halftime break, Aldridge simply said in the locker room: "What we are good at is simple and fast transmission. Arsenal are not good at position warfare. It can be said that they are not good at attacking and fighting. Therefore, the second half continues like It was the same after the lead in the first half, but when the opponent made a big push, we must make it faster, simpler, and more direct in the counterattack, without the need to break the dribble, use the running position to tear the opponent¡¯s defense line, now this An Arsenal is nothing more than a sheep in wolf skins. We don¡¯t have to be afraid of them. They are old and twilight. You are still young and running hard. We can beat them as we should.¡±


    This group of young players was greatly encouraged, and through the first half of the game, they built a strong confidence.


    The opponent is the champion of the European Cup Winners'' Cup last year!


    Before the game, the players in this bench were also worried that because the opponent was Arsenal, Aldridge would use the main lineup, but Aldridge kept his promise and insisted on letting them play in the cup, which made them think Aldridge Although young, he is a full man.


    Trust is two-way, Aldridge gives them trust, and they will also return Aldridge with trust and effort.


    After the second half started, Aldridge still stood on the sidelines. Today, he appears very quiet, without shouting, and even few physical movements.


    In contrast, Graham waved his arms back and forth not far away to make the players press, but the team was getting worse and worse, which is a kind of silent irony.


    Perhaps it was like the TV broadcaster said in the midfield commentary: "Arsenal now is like Graham, already a crumbling building, and the young Millwall is more like the rising sun, Regardless of the technical and tactical perspective or the temperament and spirit of the players on the court, we have reason to expect Millwall, but we can''t count on Graham to let Arsenal qualitatively change, but Arsenal still fell too fast. In the Premier League, They have fewer goals in the same period than last season, but they have almost twice the number of goals conceded from last season. The distance between the standings and the relegation zone has never been more than 10 points."


    In the second half of the game, Arsenal gradually began to overall pressure, no way, their frontcourt offensive combination number is too small, it is difficult to break through Milwall''s regional defense defense based on personal ability alone.


    With the formation of the pressure, the backcourt has become bigger and bigger.


    After breaking the ball at the foot of Paul Mason on the wing, Neville sent the ball to the foot of Beckham, who was only five meters away from him. Beckham turned and started to play in the backcourt, the ball was in the midfield After a wonderful arc hanging to Arsenal''s half.


    Solskjaer started before Beckham passed the ball. He broke out from the center line and passed by directly with Boulder. He successfully broke through Arsenal''s back line and was about to get a single-handed ball.


    Tony Adams, who was not slow, came back from behind. After the ball bounced on the ground once, Solskjaer stopped the ball steadily. At this time, Tony Adams was already one meter behind him. Solskjaer was just because Stopping the ball, the speed has slowed down a lot, so he protected the ball sideways, made an emergency stop, and then moved the ball forward again. The instantaneous change in rhythm also made Tony Adams slow down.


    Solskjaer moves coherently. After a quick stop from the side, the ball is called again and started again. He tricked Tony Adams and continued his single-handedness.


    But he just took a step forward, but behind him came huge pressure, and the whole person fell heavily on the ground.


    "It''s ugly! Tony Adams actually overwhelmed Solskjaer from behind, no doubt it was a foul!"


    The referee stopped the game decisively and came over to show a dazzling red card to Tony Adams who was climbing from the ground!


    If he didn''t foul, Solskjaer obviously went to the meeting alone.


    The Lion''s Cavern Stadium thunderously applauded the punishment of the referee and gave applause to the referee and Solskjaer.


    Tony Adams did not justify and protest, withdrew with a sullen face, even the captain''s armband was not given to other teammates.


    On the sidelines, Graham shouted angrily at Adams: "What are you doing stupid?"


    Tony Adams turned his head straight back and said: "Shut up!"


    Then he walked into the player''s channel without looking back.


    Aldridge looked at this counter-apprentice scene beside him, feeling a little sad in his heart.


    Graham is now the coach in the black gold scandal, Tony Adams also fell into the trough of life, off the court, he is a troublesome drunk.


    This pair of mentors and apprentices had been separated last year.


    Graham did not reinvigorate Adams, and Adams did not publicly support when Graham is now in crisis.


    The relationship between the two was falling into the freezing point, and the fate also came to an end.


    With 30 minutes left in the game, Arsenal lost one goal while scoring a goal away from home.


    Materazzi took the opportunity of the dead ball to run to the side and asked Aldridge: "Boss, do you still play as before?"


    Now they have one more fight, they have an advantage!


    Aldridge pressed his shoulders with one hand and covered his mouth with one hand, whispering: "Our tactics remain unchanged, and we will win in 30 minutes. Next, Arsenal will jump the wall. Think about it, as long as they We are in chaos, we have more opportunities."


    Materazzi nodded and ran back again, shouting loudly again to cheer up his teammates, and also implemented the tactical requirements again, so as not to make the teammates inconsistent and chaos.


    There was no turning point in the game that affected the trend. At the Lion''s Cave Stadium, a former teacher of the king fell to the bottom.


    In the seventy-ninth minute of the game, Millwall''s bench played a whirlwind quick counterattack on the court.


    Gattuso cut off the ball under Campbell''s foot and passed it to Vieira. Vieira made a diagonal pass to Beckham. Beckham made a direct pass to Solskjaer. This time Solskjaer did not have the ball. , Lightly diverted the ball to the left side again, quickly Maglencharr scored into the other half, high speed dribbling at the front of the penalty area and back to the ball at the foot of mid-way Barak, Barak put the ball to the right, as At the beginning of the counterattack, Vieira, who inserted it at a high speed, kicked a beautiful volley and expanded the score to 2:0!


    During the entire counterattack, Arsenal''s defense line was rushed back because of pressure. Even Martin Keon, who was like a **** of the sea, wanted to stop when Glencharre hit the middle road, but slipped under his feet and fell in embarrassment. .


    After Vieira scored a goal, she was thrilled and screamed.


    Just half a season ago, he was a joker who was sent off the bench with a red card for a minute, but in more than half of the season, his sweat paid off, and he ran to the coach seat after scoring a goal. Coach Babu hugged together.


    Although Aldridge is the head coach, the most recent relationship with Vieira is Babu. This is normal, and Aldridge is not jealous.


    Arsenal were beaten by Millwall with two goals, which made them completely lose their fighting spirit. The final result of the game was fixed at 2:0.


    In the face of such a result, Aldridge was not surprised, even though Arsenal''s name is loud, but now it is just a team with a loose heart.


    After the game, Aldridge did not shake hands with Graham, and calmly walked into the player channel.


    Before the weekend, the biggest news in English football is: Graham, who has coached the Gunners for eight years, was fired by the Arsenal board!

 Chapter 47： Championship suspense

    After the results of the fourth round of the FA Cup draw, Aldridge lamented fate.


    Obviously England''s second-level league team, but met the Premier League team for the third time in the cup, and also played against Newcastle United in the first half of the season.


    The only good news: Millwall has the advantage at home.


    This can add a lot of income to the club.


    Newcastle United coached by Kevin Keegan is still a pleasing team in the Premier League, but this season they have not been able to attack the championship. The top two teams in the Premier League are Blackburn and Manchester United, and Leaving the team behind far behind.


    Therefore, Newcastle United will naturally attach great importance to the FA Cup.


    Aldrich, as always, made up his mind to let the bench lineup grow through cup training.


    After stepping into February, Millwall maintained a strong momentum in the Ligue 1 league. The increasingly mature team is invincible in the Ligue 1 league. Aldridge is now the least afraid of encountering teams in the top of the standings or near the relegation zone. Because these teams will take risks for points, the temptation of Bo three points will allow Millwall to take advantage of the quick counterattack.


    On the contrary, Millwall will lose points for a long time only when he meets a team that has no desire and no desire to lose.


    In the fourth round of the FA Cup at the Lion''s Cave Stadium, Aldridge once again saw Kevin Keegan, who was already fluttering. The dark red suit of the Sao Bao made Aldridge endure.


    No wonder Kevin Keegan feels good about himself. He was a rookie two years ago. After leaving the football team for eight years, he took the team and took Newcastle United to the Premier League. He was promoted last year. The third place was dazzling. Although this year sold the top scorer of the season, Andy Cole, but it has made more than four million pounds for the club, and the team''s record has not declined. It is still the Premier League. On the commendable veteran powerhouse.


    Interestingly, the boss of Newcastle United is also named Hall, who also has a wealth of hundreds of millions of pounds.


    After the 90-minute game, Kevin Keegan looked a little ugly.


    The Premier League team he led faced Millwall''s bench at the Lion''s Cave Stadium and ended up with a 1:1 draw.


    Underestimating the arrogance of the enemy is the fundamental factor in the failure to win the game. After all, a few months ago, Newcastle United defeated the same lineup of Millwall in the League Cup.


    After the game, Kevin Keegan embarrassedly stated that he would win the game at home.


    Aldridge is happier. He can play one more game on the bench and gain more experience, not to mention additional income.


    Facing Kevin Keegan shelling Millwall in order to divert his attention: Lack of respect for the FA Cup!


    Because Millwall is not in the main lineup.


    Aldridge responded lightly: "We are about to usher in the most important game of the entire season. Is the FA Cup optional? Such a statement is very irresponsible. If it wasn¡¯t bad luck, my team Being able to advance to the next round at home, Coach Keegan¡¯s criticism made no sense. If we condemn us because we didn¡¯t send all the main players, then why didn¡¯t Newcastle United win in the face of Millwall who didn¡¯t play with all the main players? What about them? Are they also retaining their strength? Or are they more contemptuous of this oldest cup?"


    Now Aldridge has become one of the favorite head coaches in the London media. He can always calmly face the war of words, instead of blaming others unobtrusively and unreasonably, bringing news while maintaining with the media. A relatively harmonious relationship.


    Before the FA Cup rematch, Millwall did play a crucial game this season.


    The 32nd round of the Premier League: Millwall vs Middlesbrough.


    Three months ago, the two teams devoted a 2:2 lead battle at the Aya Sumy Park Stadium.


    Three months later, the top two teams in the standings are still Middlesbrough behind Millwall.


    But the gap between the two teams has changed from a difference in goal difference to a shocking 13 points!


    It¡¯s not that Middlesbrough is not performing well enough, their performance in the same period has surpassed the second place of Nottingham Forest last season, but Millwall is too good, and their points in the same period are more than the Champions League Crystal Palace in the same period last season. Eight points!


    The gap of 13 points makes the suspense of the Champions League becomes smaller and smaller, and the first round of the 32nd round of the battle, the result may kill all suspense.


    "Daily Mail" took a large page to publish the writer Richard.


    "February 24 is a day for the Premier League to chase between the two best teams. It is a never-ending war between Dalglish and Ferguson, but in the Premier League On the field, maybe the conjecture for the championship will be completely ended. Millwall, who is far ahead in the league, opened the 13-point gap behind Middlesbrough, making all chasers desperate if this game is Millwall Winning at home, then no one should doubt that the Champions League has been produced, although the league still has 14 rounds, more than 1/3 of the entire schedule, but Millwall leads the second place Middlesbrough by 16 points. So, everything is over! At this moment, we recall the interview after Brian Robson equalized by Millwall at home three months ago. The captain of the magic said: We failed to win the next game Decide the game of the league champion! At that time, everyone felt Robson was alarmist, but imagine if Millwall did not take away a precious draw at Aya Sumy Park Stadium, how would it affect the morale of the entire season? ?..."


    The media always likes to predict the trend of football matches. If you guess right, you will know what you think. If you guess wrong, you will become popular.


    But the newspaper in this issue of the "Daily Mail" has sold well. Richard''s article has been widely recognized, and the old photo is on the cover. Three months ago at the Aya Sumy Park Stadium, Nedwig When De scored to equalize the goal, the moment Aldridge knelt and raised his arms in the sky, it was a non-player young man who made a similar action to celebrate the catharsis of the player, and Aldridge''s popularity also suddenly increased.


    The battle is coming, Aldridge looks at the team list and Dr. Thompson''s report on the player''s injury recovery in the office.


    Boom!


    "Please come in."


    Bernd Schneider in casual clothes walked into the office, Aldridge closed the file in his hand and asked gently: "Bernd, is there anything?"


    Schneider sat down across the desk and said honestly: "Boss, I think I have fully recovered. I want to start in the next game."


    He has been recuperating for the past month, and recently returned to the team to participate in joint training.


    Aldridge smiled, got up and poured him a glass of water, and then stood on the side of the desk with his **** slightly on the table. He smiled: "But I plan to make you a substitute for the next game. "


    Schneider looked up at Aldridge and frowned: "But I have fully recovered."


    Aldridge waved his hand and said: "I know, but the next game will be very intense, Bernd, you are an indispensable member of the team, and I don''t want to take risks to deal with the fierce game after the comeback, We still have a lot of games this season, don¡¯t we?"


    "but¡­¡­"


    "But the next game is against Middlesbrough, right?"


    Schneider nodded.


    At the top of the list, this key battle, he naturally wants to play.


    Aldridge stooped and asked mysteriously: "Bernd, you have been here for more than half a year. What kind of person do you think I am?"


    Schneider froze, scratching his head and said, "Boss, you are a pragmatic person, a down-to-earth person, uh, a reliable person."


    Aldridge shrugged: "Actually, I am also an ambitious and arrogant person. To tell you the truth, Middlesbrough, I didn''t even think about it, yes, they are a mature team, But they have no potential, but our potential has only been tapped to less than half. Our future is not destined to be comparable, so what I think now is more, six months later, the opponents in the Premier League. By then The game against Manchester United and Liverpool is the real battle. Don¡¯t listen to the media to promote the key battles and put us at the same level as Middlesbrough, which really upset me.¡±


    Bernd Schneider was teased, and he didn''t expect Aldridge to have such a side.


    But his ingenuity made him understand instantly, he nodded and said, "Boss, I understand, do not disturb your work, bye."


    After sending off Schneider, Aldridge went back to his desk and wrote the starting lineup for the weekend game in the tactical book.


    Except for replacing Beckham with Schneider in the right midfield, there is no change in the main lineup.


    At a press conference the day before the game, Aldridge said low-key: This is just an ordinary league. Regardless of the result, the schedule for the league championship will really be determined in April and May.


    This kind of argument made Aldridge the object of criticism by the media the next day, thinking he was too hypocritical.


    But his low humility expressed his importance to Middlesbrough and his respect for Brian Robson, which won him a lot of applause.

 Chapter 48： Millwall

    For more than half of the season, Millwall fans have become the happiest group in the Premier League.


    They can simply enjoy the fun and passion brought by football.


    Millwall under Aldridge has a brand new look. The team''s style has been completely insulated from the English-style long pass. It has caused a burst of youth storm and also made fans proud.


    On the afternoon of the 32nd match day of the League One, the Lion''s Cave Stadium continued its full attendance on the home match day. When the teams of the two teams played, there was endless applause on the court.


    Millwall and Middlesbrough have no hatred, only competitors, and now Millwall is far behind Middlesbrough, Millwall fans can naturally welcome the arrival of their opponents.


    The broadcast lens locked Aldridge before the game. This handsome young coach is a celebrity in the English coaching profession. He is gentle and capable. No one has questioned Aldridge¡¯s coaching ability. Even Millwall¡¯s tactical system , Football column reporters have begun to follow, but the ¡°research report¡± dare not draw conclusions easily, because real tactical professionals believe that: Aldridge¡¯s transformation of the team has not been completely successful, and it is still being built. In the process, it is refreshing to give up blind and frequent traditional wing-forward pass tactics, and to use the wing strategy and occasionally insert into the penalty area.


    After the players of both sides came on stage, Aldridge took the initiative to go to the coach of the visiting team, Brian Robson greeted him, the two embraced cordially, and then chatted friendlyly.


    "Aldrich, I lost this game, you have so many points ahead."


    "Okay, Middlesbrough attacked boldly, Millwall is undefended."


    "Can you not be so annoying?"


    "Thank you, this is the best compliment to me."


    After Aldridge and Brian Robson smiled at each other, the two separated, and each walked back to the sidelines and stood.


    Compared with the clash of the first half of the season, the only two teams to play on the list are Millwall. David Beckham is a newcomer. There is no change in the rest and the formation has not changed.


    Middlesbrough still hit their hidden killer 532, and Millwall used them to hone 442.


    Even after the start of the game, it was almost the same as the first match in the league: Millwall took the advantage, and Middlesbrough was very conservative in shrinking the half.


    Aldridge stood on the sidelines. Was he making the mistake of the first half of the season?


    of course not!


    Millwall is now more mature than three months ago, and the tacit understanding between players is not what it used to be.


    Piley, Nedvide, Makelele, Beckham''s midfield line cooperated very smoothly in the midfield area, plus Larson who withdrew from the front, Millwall firmly controlled the ball At his feet.


    It''s not only constriction that is conservative. Millwall guarantees possession of the ball, creates opportunities patiently, and doesn''t easily lose the ball with his feet. This is itself a conservative strategy.


    Aldrich first instilled in this team: learn to pass back!


    When the front responder does not have a good position and opportunity, the midfielder faces the oppression and must have the consciousness of passing the ball back.


    Without losing the ball, it first guarantees its own undefeated place.


    The top battle, which was clamored by the outside world as Mars hitting the earth, did not show the expected intense spark after the game started.


    Called by Aldridge in front of his coaching staff: Defensive forward Cavana kept running back and forth in Millwall''s backcourt, trying to disrupt Millwall''s rhythm through harassment.


    But he was rushing by himself alone, and it really didn''t work. It was more like a monkey being walked back and forth by Millwall''s midfielder.


    The midfielder of Blackmore, Marsto and Hagnet did not dare to easily cross the center line. They seemed to be waiting for nothing and did not care about the passage of time.


    How to break the intensive defense, Millwall has been able to adjust and use tactics tactically, without requiring Audric to give instructions all the time.


    Pires automatically relied on the middle to play with Nedved on a small scale. The two forwards attracted the attention of the defensive players through the running position, opened the empty space and then gave the teammates a long-range shot.


    Twenty minutes before the first half, Nedvide nearly opened the ball with a long shot, but unfortunately hit the beam and flew towards the stands.


    Middlesbrough still plays shrinking tactics, but there will still be looseness and distraction within a small range.


    Piley made a long shot from outside the penalty area and was taken into the arms by goalkeeper Miller. He immediately opened a big foot to the frontcourt, trying to create a chance for the team to fight back.


    The ball''s landing point was just past the center line in the frontcourt. Makelele steadily blocked Cavana behind him. No matter how squeezed Cavana can''t make Makelele lose focus.


    In the face of the falling ball, Makelele hit the ball with a foot and knocked directly at the foot of Beckham on the right. Just after receiving the ball near the center line of the right road, Beckham adjusted it in place for a second, and then suddenly a long pass The ball hoisted into the penalty area of ??Middlesbrough.


    The defender of Middlesbrough, who has just finished defending, is moving forward and rebuilding a parallel defensive line. No one expected the goalkeeper to open a big foot to the frontcourt. In less than 10 seconds, the ball flew again. Come back, and the landing point is behind them.


    Trezeguet swiftly passed between Pierce and White. Goalkeeper Miller abandoned the goal, but he only ran halfway and opened his arms to expand his defensive range. On the left side of the goal, Trezeguet never stopped. The ball, a header directly pushed the ball towards the gate of Middlesbrough.


    Miller hates Millwall!


    In the clash of the first half of the season, Pires scored the weird arc ball still vividly remembered. This time, he abandoned the goal and could only raise his head to watch the ball over the top of his head, he reached out. Enough to go, obviously one step late, but also lost his weight and fell to the ground, embarrassed.


    "GOOOOOAL! David Trezeguet scored a wonderful header shot! He was assisted by the young Manchester United rookie Beckham, who was on loan from Manchester United to Milwaukee Beckham this season. Mu replaced the injured Schneider in the past month. His performance is very good. The accurate long pass is unforgettable. No one thought he would directly assist the striker in that position. The pass is beautiful. Trezeguet is alert. The anti-offside and header are even more exciting! Congratulations Millwall, they are now leading by one goal, and they have an absolute advantage on the field. Middlesbrough, despite its strength, can hardly make a difference here."


    Trezeguet, who has scored 18 goals this season, ran to the backcourt with a smile and hugged Beckham directly.


    Fans on the sidelines were also very excited. Even Aldridge was able to see some fans holding signs in the stands. It read: Aldridge, please sign Beckham!


    Aldridge can only smile bitterly in his heart. He also wants to sign the biggest player in English football in the next five to eight years. But would the sly Ferguson let go generously?


    At the beginning of the loan, Beckham joined the hairy kid. With more and more opportunities to debut, and better performance on the court, he has become a Millwall star player. Yes, Aldridge went To describe Beckham, it is a star player, but it is definitely not the top five players in strength, even if it is just an offensive player.


    Around the training ground, at least half of the female fans who came to watch the training came to see Beckham, and the rest paid more attention to Nedved, Schneider and others, Beckham of the British hukou, There is no doubt the focus.


    When was Beckham famous? Maybe when I was less than ten years old.


    In the English football, last year, Beckham was the main force of Manchester United''s 92 class to win the Youth FA Cup championship, which also made him famous.


    Aldridge ruled out his distractions, applauded the team¡¯s goals, and then looked at Brian Robson, who was not far away. The opponent was indifferent to the goal but just paced on the sidelines without speaking or directing the team .


    Brian Robson was helpless. He did everything he could, and said nothing to the team. It was not Middlesbrough that performed poorly. It was Millwall who was not the team in the first half of the season.


    Robson, who has had hundreds of professional experiences, can see that the young guys of Millwall have confidence and momentum on the court, atmosphere and composure, plus the wisdom of football that uses tactics flexibly. Wenger has a similar feeling: Aldridge, your team has an infinitely promising future.


    After restarting the ball, Middlesbrough still hasn''t changed its strategy. After they get the ball, they will play a long pass rushing tactic. Whether they can create a threat depends on whether the forwards are powerful.


    But such an offense has no lethality in front of Millwall, and the ball is always easily returned to Millwall''s feet.


    The team is leading, and the fans are very happy to watch, like the party, indulging in singing, they are playing with each other on the stands.


    Beckham was encouraged by an assist. On such a big stage, he wanted to show more of himself, so he stayed near the center line for the past thirty minutes and boldly pushed forward.


    Aldridge frowned slightly when he saw this scene on the sidelines. In the tactical layout before the game, he clearly told Beckham: "Don¡¯t be too forward, your basic task is to assist Thuram to defend and ensure that we Is safe on the right, and you can try to pass the ball from a long distance as the starting point for the delayed attack."


    Originally, Beckham was on the sidelines, and Middlesbrough''s back line was not at ease. As a result, he suddenly plugged in, but it had the effect of making his opponent unprepared.


    Nedved suddenly dribbled through the defense of Masto in the middle. He was surprised to find that Beckham inserted it. He had already planned to take a long shot and he pushed the ball to the right. Beckham''s Inserting an assist made everyone unexpected, so centre-back Wicks tried to break the ball under the opponent''s foot, but Beckham put a ball into the right side of the penalty area with a straight plug and formed with Larsson who started in time. In order to pass the cut, Larsson half-turned in the penalty area bottom line and swept the ball towards the Middlesbrough goal.


    Trezeguet shoveled the ground before Pearson made a clearance and sent the ball into the door of Middlesbrough!


    Millwall leads 2-0 at home!

 Chapter 49： The situation has turned sharply

    "The first half of the game showed a one-sided situation. Millwall firmly grasped the initiative and scored two goals. They steadily controlled the pace of the game. Brian Robson probably did not expect to come to the Lion''s Cave Stadium. , Will encounter a Millwall that is very different from the first half of the season. How will Middlesbrough change in the second half? Or retain the strength and fight with the team behind the standings?"


    During the intermission, Aldridge returned to the locker room. The players built a confidence as they continued to win. They will no longer be overjoyed to lead the midfield, taking a gentle and calm break.


    Aldridge praised the team¡¯s performance, there was nothing to adjust tactically. As long as they controlled the ball in the second half and took the initiative to shrink, the victory will come. Even he can foresee that Middlesbrough will inevitably face a battle in the second half. Will give Millwall more opportunities to fight back.


    But he still came to Beckham. The young player with a smile on his face participated in an attack and an assist in the first half, which made him very proud.


    "David, we have led by two goals. You are really talented on the offensive end, but we must first do a good job of defense. Don''t easily plug in the right side in the second half. In the back position, your long pass will be unexpected. If you insert forward, you will lack space to display. If you are hit back, if you can¡¯t return in time, we may be hit by the opponent. Do you understand?"


    When Aldridge arranges tactics, he always habitually puts the truth in front of the players, rather than telling the opponent what tasks to complete. His habit makes the players on the team very satisfied.


    Beckham wiped his sweat and nodded with a smile to show his understanding.


    Aldridge will not say much, and after a short rest, he walked out of the locker room with the players.


    In the second half, he changed sides and played again. Although the team led by two goals, Aldridge still stood on the sidelines. He knew the importance of this game. Once Millersburg was overturned, Millwall could still lead by 10 points, but still In the remaining 14 rounds of the league, Middlesbrough might be able to threaten Millwall''s top position with great morale.


    After the game started again, Millwall fans were already singing songs such as "We are the champion", "Playing the Premier League next season" and so on.


    In the stands, laughter and laughter continued, but Aldridge frowned.


    Middlesbrough''s players suddenly changed their spirits in the second half. They showed a fighting spirit that was different from the first half.


    Aldrich understood that Brian Robson actually put the decisive game in the second half. Whether Millwall leads or draws in the first half, this is the opponent''s strategy.


    In a draw, Millwall may be eager to defeat his opponent and become frantic.


    Leading, Millwall may be underestimated.


    The process of scoring a ball on the football field is always very short, maybe a few seconds to a dozen seconds.


    45 minutes in the second half, is there enough time to make a comeback? More than enough for a team with fighting spirit!


    Thuram intercepted the ball in the backcourt and passed straight forward, intending to hand the ball to Beckham, but did not expect that Beckham did not wait for the ball in place, but ran forward, seemingly intending to save time to complete a quick Counterattack.


    Aldridge''s eyes widened and he felt incredible.


    Did all the words I told you during the intermission break into the ears? !


    Beckham intends to take the ball to his feet without turning around, but unexpectedly someone stretched out a foot in front of him, easily broke the ball, and then killed him in the dust.


    Curtis Fleming!


    It''s him again!


    Aldridge scolded angrily, "Fuck!"


    Beckham hurried back after being intercepted, but his speed was not an advantage. After being intercepted, he returned to chase and could not touch Fleming''s jersey.


    It was Millwall''s counterattack, but Middlesbrough launched the counterattack after stealing the ball.


    After Fleming drew the ball into Millwall''s half from the wing, Makelele quickly moved over to intercept and Fleming quickly passed the ball to the midfield.


    Middlesbrough''s tactics of rushing from the sidelines to attract defense and then focus on the middle are obviously well-trained.


    After receiving the ball, Blackmore passed the ball to Marsto, who was plugged in, before Nedved pressed tightly!


    Two strikers Hengdeli and Cavana have been oppressing the defense line, making Stam and Southgate dare not rush to grab, Masto took the ball to the penalty area and unexpectedly directly kicked a long shot!


    Nedved returned to chase the shovel but was one step late, and could only watch the ball burst into the barrel!


    World wave!


    The ball almost didn''t spin, and it slammed into the upper left corner of Millwall''s goal very quickly. Catherine Keller could only watch the ball and sigh.


    After Middlesbrough scored, striker Cavana quickly took the ball out of the goal and ran to the backcourt, and the other players did not celebrate. At this moment, they are all together and have the faith to even the score and even overtake!


    Aldridge''s face was gloomy. If the goal was conceded just now, there was only one person: Beckham!


    Thuram was trapped by the sidelined Hagnett and could not be robbed. Makelele''s vertical sweeping was a normal choice. Originally it was a Millwall counterattack. Nedvide was stepping forward. Beckham only had to With the ball on the wing, Nedvide already ran out of the catch, but he was counterattacked by his opponent. The world wave of Marsto is impeccable. Perhaps he may not be able to give him a hundred chances. Shoot such a wonderful goal.


    But such a goal is not accidental!


    At halftime, Aldridge''s advice to Beckham was heard by other players, so after losing the ball, Southgate ran to Beckham and said to him seriously: "Listen honestly Don¡¯t rush forward, your boss!"


    His mistakes alone will make Millwall''s entire defensive system passive, and then find flaws by his opponents.


    As the English folk ballad sings:


    Lost a nail, lost a horseshoe nail;


    Lost a horseshoe nail and folded a warhorse;


    Folded a horse and damaged a king;


    Lost a king and lost a war;


    Lost a war and lost an empire!


    Seeing Beckham''s head drooping, Aldridge wanted to say nothing more but couldn''t bear it.


    After all, he is still a young player, and training from mistakes is the only way to grow.


    After the game started again, Middlesbrough had the momentum to counterattack.


    In this regard, Aldridge sneered in his heart: Do you think a goal will defeat Millwall? too naive!


    Ten minutes later, Middlesbrough paid for their counterattack.


    Larsson pulled out of the penalty area and played an exquisite cooperation with Nedved and Pires. The three played the three guards of Middlesbrough through a continuous pass. Larsen inserted into the penalty area to pick up Piress. Turning to volley without stopping the ball, the ball hits the inside of the far post and bounces into the goal!


    In the sixty-third minute of the game, Millwall scored 3-1 at home and led the guest Middlesbrough again.


    Seeing this goal drop, Brian Robson shook his head slightly. This is the gap between players'' strength!


    Aldridge thought he could breathe a sigh of relief once again, but unexpectedly, Beckham was actively involved in the attack on the right again.


    He shouted loudly on the sidelines: "David! Come back to me!"


    At the frontcourt, Beckham turned to Aldridge and made a depressing gesture. It seemed to be telling Aldrich: Boss, relax, don''t be nervous, it''s okay, I''m fine!


    Aldridge''s complexion instantly became ugly!


    At this moment, Middlesbrough once again launched an attack from their left.


    Brian Robson has already seen that the biggest flaw in Millwall''s defensive system is on the right. There is a lot of empty space behind the handsome Manchester United kid.


    Fleming didn''t attack with a dribbling breakthrough this time. He played two-on-one with left-back Wicks.


    Wicks'' forward assist was unexpected, and Beckham was teased by Fleming and Wicks like a stake.


    Then, Fleming once again left Beckham behind.


    Middlesbrough''s old tricks were reapplied, Masto bravely moved forward again, Blackmore and Hagrid went together in the middle, and the ball passed quickly back and forth under their feet. When Makelele knocked Blackmore from the side, The referee halted the game, reached out for a foul on Makelele, and took a yellow card from his pocket. Then, there was another red card!


    Makelele already had a yellow card in the first half!


    The two yellow and one red Makelele did not have any excuse, and he walked down the court in despair.


    Seeing this scene, Aldridge directly turned and kicked the water bottle he placed on the ground!


    "Bernd, Patrick, warm up quickly, after this free kick, you play, Patrick replaces Trezeguet to replace Claude, Bernd succeeds Beckham, Patrick, you tell Pavel after you play, and form with him Double backs, two sides contracted to fight back at halftime!"


    The outrageous Aldridge quickly made substitution adjustments.


    What made him even more angry was that Middlesbrough''s direct free kick actually scored!


    Blackmore''s impeccable arc penetrates the goal guarded by Keller.


    Millwall''s situation was precarious. The advantage of 2:0 in the first half disappeared. Now it is only 3:2 leading, and there is one less player!


    After this goal was produced, there were twenty minutes left. Brian Robson also quickly transferred his troops, added a midfielder, replaced a central defender, and played the traditional 442.


    When Trezeguet was replaced by Vieira, Aldridge walked over to meet Trezeguet and scored twice today. Trezeguet played very happily, but the situation of the game made him unable to laugh. Qi and he hugged and walked back to the coach''s seat without looking at Beckham''s frustrated face.

 Chapter 50： Roll back to Manchester!

    Even if it was Marklele who was off the red card, Aldridge walked over and comforted him. Others could not hear what Aldridge said to Marklele, but obviously Marklele was not in a bad mood.


    "Claude, today you are doing very well. You are just struck by a stupid mistake. Go back to the locker room and take a shower. Don''t worry about the red card. Take a rest next time."


    Aldridge is not blind. The lack of Beckham''s back defense on the right midfield leads to the expansion of the vertical space. Middlesbrough''s tacit understanding of the offensive players is very experienced. The three passes and two passes are very skilled. Makelele uses There is nothing to blame for fouling the opponent''s offense, it can only be said that it was bad luck to be scored by the opponent.


    When Beckham was off the field, Aldridge was holding his shirt with a cold face, so he didn''t bother to look at him.


    Beckham was on the way to the bench. Coach Craig handed him the club''s warm jacket. As a result, Beckham threw his jacket on the bench''s ceiling angrily.


    Aldridge turned his back to the bench and didn¡¯t know what was happening behind him, but Craig and the entire coaching staff, as well as the players on the bench, were angry at Beckham¡¯s move!


    Beckham was angry: both goals in the first half were directly related to me!


    What happened to the assist?


    I''m not a defensive player!


    What''s wrong with throwing one or two balls?


    I can make more goals!


    Although Millwall, who played ten players, was one less than the opponent, the players on the court built a firm and unbreakable defense after shrinking half.


    After compressing the space in the midfield and backcourt, Middlesbrough''s ground attack was repeatedly blocked, and only the number of attackers could be accumulated to create a killer through a long pass.


    But this simple and rough offensive way, Millwall really is not good, dealing with high-altitude **** for Stam and Southgate is a housekeeping skill.


    With less and less time left in the game, Middlesbrough put more and more players into the offense in order to equalize the score, and the defense line became more and more advanced.


    Two minutes before the end of the game, Hengdeli barely kicked the goal near the penalty area line. The angle of the ball was too positive and was firmly embraced by Keller.


    After confiscating the ball, Keller quickly tossed the ball in one hand and threw the ball to the left. After Lucas Neal on the sideline stopped the ball, he kicked the ball forward in front of the spot, as well as after receiving the ball. Swinging legs in place, a scalpel-like pass emerged from under his feet.


    The ball passed through the middle of the defense line of Middlesbrough near the middle circle and rolled straight towards the backcourt. Larson, who started near the center line, already had a tacit understanding with Pire. When the ball flew out of Pire, he rubbed his hands. Too.


    I saw that Larson crossed the Whites of Middlesbrough, and left the opponent far behind, running towards the backcourt of Middlesbrough, at the same time, it has formed a single-pole trend.


    Millwall fans in the stands suppressed for a long time. Ten minutes before, since Makelele was sent off, they were afraid that Millwall would be broken again. Fortunately, the team stabilized the defense. Now, there is one more The single-pole ball is in sight.


    Goalkeeper Miller could only abandon the door, he didn''t even run out of the penalty area, and looked back desperately.


    Larson was outside the penalty area, almost thirty-five meters from the goal, with an elegant rubbing shot to hang the ball towards the opponent''s door.


    The ball crossed an arc in the sky, like a dazzling rainbow, and then fell gently into the gate of Middlesbrough.


    4:2!


    Millwall strangled Middlesbrough''s second half effort!


    The Lions Cavern Stadium was thunderous, and the fans shouted Larson¡¯s name in unison, followed by endless applause to stand up and applaud him for this highly ornamental drop shot.


    Aldridge''s stretched face finally looked better. He stretched out his hand and loosened his tie, and he breathed out a long breath.


    Is he happy?


    No, it''s just a little bit better after holding back.


    Obviously it was a victory that could easily get the hand, but the game played like this bird, which made him suffocate!


    Middlesbrough dared to attack in the second half, Millwall hit the opponent to counterattack, and could easily kill the game. The result was suspense until the last few minutes. It wasn¡¯t that Aldridge didn¡¯t think about it, but when he pulled the trigger Only discovered that the gun''s sight is broken!


    Middlesbrough, who failed to equalize, completely lost his fighting spirit and the game ended after three minutes of stoppage time.


    "The 32nd round of the Premier League''s most eye-catching first battle, Millwall played against Middlesbrough at home, the final score was 4:2, Aldridge''s team beat the opponent thrillingly at the Lion''s Cave Stadium, At the same time, the gap between the points of the two teams was expanded to 16 points. With 14 rounds remaining in the Premier League, Millwall has almost locked the league title, and Middlesbrough is expected to start adjusting strategies to upgrade the play-offs. Now."


    After the game, Aldridge walked over to shake hands with Brian Robson. He apologized and said: "I''m sorry, I have something to deal with, so, when we meet in the Premier League next season, let''s have another drink."


    Brian Robson smiled dumbly and asked: "You will definitely play the Premier League next season, I don''t have to."


    "Just kidding, Middlesbrough''s strength, no problem in the Premier League, excessive humility is hypocrisy."


    "Well, see you in the Premier League next season."


    The two men, who were both young coaches in the coaching profession, greeted each other and left.


    Aldridge accepted the interview simply with a smile, and then his face turned completely cold as he walked towards the player''s locker room.


    boom!


    He walked into the locker room and closed the door heavily, looking away at David Beckham who was sitting **** on the bench.


    Aldridge came to him steadily, and his handsome face was awkward. After Beckham looked up at him, Aldridge broke out completely and started roaring at him.


    "What the **** are you doing? Before the game, halftime, on the sidelines in the second half, once, twice, three times! I reminded you three times! Are you brainless or have ear problems? Fuck! Beckham, I Knowing that you want to show yourself more and let yourself appear in a key position, but football is not your **** performance, your selfishness and performance desire make Millwall look like a stupid donkey!"


    Aldrich''s eyes seemed to be able to spit out fire, and spittle stars all sprayed on Beckham''s face.


    He certainly has reason to be angry!


    In the first half of the match, Middlesbrough played through Millwall¡¯s wing. Of course, Millwall will learn his lesson, but let the other party torn Millwall¡¯s offense through the attack of the wing. Line of defense.


    If Brian Robson had any tricks, Aldridge lost his persuasion and could suffer in the same offensive routine, Aldridge could not tolerate it, especially when he reminded Beckham many times.


    At first, Beckham was stunned. When the entire locker room was silent, Beckham recovered.


    Other players are in awe of Aldridge. In addition to Aldridge being the head coach and boss, and because they feel at ease here, they have improved significantly in the past half of the season. The complaint is the same for Southgate, and Trezeguet, who returned from Argentina to Europe, is even more grateful to Audridge.


    But Beckham may not be in awe of Aldridge.


    After all, he is a foreigner and destined to leave.


    He also had a sense of anger and threw his newly taken off Adi sneakers on the ground, shouting his head at Aldridge: "What am I doing wrong? I was an offensive player, not a **** defensive player! I stepped forward What''s wrong with participating in the offense?! Are you blind? Didn''t see me in the first half..."


    boom!


    Beckham, who had not finished speaking, was pushed directly by the violent Materazzi, causing him to hit his back against the closet.


    "You **** treat me with respect!"


    Materazzi shouted viciously at him.


    At the same time, the three captains of Southgate, Nedved and Larson also stood up.


    But Aldridge waved a big hand to stop other people''s movements, and he didn''t need anyone to give him the power.


    But when he pushed Materazzi back with his arms, the big-mouthed Materazzi still screamed at Beckham: "If you listen honestly, we will not lose the ball, Claude Where can I eat the red card?! Idiot!"


    "Shut up, Marco!"


    Aldridge turned his head to stare at Materazzi, and the other side stepped back and sat down on the bench opposite.


    In fact, he had long been dissatisfied with Beckham.


    During weekday training, he likes to show off his feet, and occasionally waves with the girl outside the training field, even if he wears brand-name shoes, it seems to be showing off.


    On the court, he was more expressive than others. Materazzi, as a defender, was most disgusted by the kind of players who didn''t get back on time when attacking.


    The highlights are always on the offensive, but it is the guard who is paying the bill for the dirty work and the mistakes!


    Aldridge closed his eyes and took a deep breath, the atmosphere suddenly froze.


    Yes, Beckham is talented in offense, but in the future development trend of football, the defense will become more and more close to the whole. A wing forward or wing that can only attack, and even the forward, it is difficult to establish a foothold in the top team. For those strong teams with real achievements, the defensive system is the entire team of 11 people. Only a few threatening forwards can play as free agents, but Beckham, a full-back, needs important contributions on the defensive end. !


    Aldrich¡¯s intentions were not understood by the opponent. Aldrich felt that it was useless to say more. Many talented young players were too lazy to listen to what the head coach said. Even Owen himself admitted that he was in Liverpool¡¯s early stage and he had no pre-match tactical meeting. Can''t listen to a word, Owen expressed great regret for himself in that period, otherwise he believed he would have greater achievements.


    Aldridge no longer looked at Beckham, turned to walk outside the locker room, and said coldly without looking back: "Since you don¡¯t cherish the opportunity to play here, take all your things and roll back to Manchester. !"

 Chapter 51： Knotted

    Beckham left London on the day of packing his luggage.


    In the evening, Aldridge received a call from the Manchester United coach.


    "Aldrich, I have learned about David. I don¡¯t want this to affect our relationship."


    Aldridge was a bit strange to hear the opening speech of the old Scottish man.


    "Huh? You think I am a three-year-old child, and I am dissatisfied with Beckham, so I am full of hatred for the entire Manchester United club? Rest assured, I am not so careful, David is still immature, plus the status of loaning Millwall It¡¯s normal that he can¡¯t hear me.¡±


    Ferguson, who watched the tactics on the court, naturally came to call Aldridge after watching the video of the game of Middlesbrough vs. Millwall. The details of the matter, he has already heard from another player, Phil Neville. Learned.


    He who protects the calf will not accuse David Beckham, will not even mention it, nor will he make a special phone call to explain to Aldridge, which Aldridge can expect, but Ferguson said no Affecting the relationship between the two clubs makes Aldridge feel strange.


    "Well, you are a free and easy young man, okay, don''t say anything else, goodbye."


    Aldridge felt confused after hanging up the phone.


    Don''t say anything else?


    Ferguson obviously still has something to say!


    Only the timing is wrong.


    Aldrich just wanted to understand that he was soaking in the bathtub at home: This old man is afraid that he will hate Manchester United without selling players to Manchester United!


    Does Ferguson want to buy someone?


    Sure!


    Although the striker Andy Cole was purchased for the team in January, Ferguson was contented to die with Blackburn of Dalglish in the second half of the season, but no one expected that just half a month later, In the match between Manchester United and Crystal Palace, Cantona kicked the Crystal Palace fans and shocked the world.


    The FA''s ticket has been issued and Cantona has been suspended for eight months!


    The winter transfer window has been closed, and Cantona''s suspension will continue until the end of September.


    In other words, the first few rounds of the Premier League next season, Manchester United still lacks Cantona. The state of Cantona, which has not played for eight months, will also be unknown. Ferguson has just been killed by Keegan to fill the front line. Now it''s time to start having headaches for the forward again.


    And after Beckham returned to Manchester, after Ferguson asked, Ferguson''s eyes were not just staring at Larson, Trezeguet and Solskjaer both entered the Manchester United scouts'' attention list.


    The next morning after the match day, the team was on holiday, and in the afternoon the players came to the training ground for an easy recovery training.


    At sunset, Aldridge called Phil Neville in his office.


    Neville, who changed his clothes after training, was still a honest young man. He entered Aldrich''s office and sat down. He immediately said: "Boss, I want to stay. At least after this season, in Millwall, I think I can gain valuable experience."


    To be honest, you just don¡¯t sell it.


    Phil Neville, as a backup lineup, has played more than ten times this season. In Millwall, Aldridge did not dare to say that he tried his best to train him, but training with the first team, the entire coaching staff can do it. A bowl of water is level.


    Aldridge sighed softly: "I also hope you stay, but it is impossible. You should understand that if you stay, your life here will be difficult in the next few months because you are a Manchester United player."


    Beckham was blasted away, Neville stayed, and will definitely be isolated in the locker room. Audridge can''t count on the team''s players to be noble and wait for people.


    Although Neville did not provoke public anger, his Manchester United background prevented him from standing on this collective team-based team sport.


    Neville''s face became lost, and he refuted nothing more.


    He is considered to be a pond fish, because of Beckham''s affairs, Millwall''s players do not trust and reject him, which is not surprising.


    Aldrich picked up two thick stacks of documents on the table and handed him said, "It''s this thing that calls you to come. This is a training report between you and David since August last year, and a copy is for future development training. Suggest."


    Neville reached out and took two thick stacks of documents, heavy in his hand, and he suddenly didn''t know what to say.


    Aldrich is famous for working hard everyday, and the coaches of the coaching staff are all conscientious. They treat him and Beckham on loan players equally, and these two reports make Neville moved and speechless. Come.


    "You brought these two documents back to Manchester United. Me, just to do my part. Both you and David are young. It was helpless when you first rented you, but since you came to Millwall, I think it is necessary. Responsible for your growth..."


    Aldrich talked a lot, and even he felt verbose, but he couldn''t stop his mouth, only to feel a sadness in his heart.


    How to say how to get along for half a year, suddenly, he was not mentally prepared.


    Neville listened very carefully and nodded frequently, especially when Aldridge advised his friends to go back and work hard after training, not to be distracted by things off the court, Neville nodded heavily and remembered every word. deep in the heart.


    Following the pace of Beckham''s departure, Neville also returned to Manchester United. This matter was not mentioned by media reporters until the press conference of the FA Cup midweek match.


    Leading the team for the second time this season as a guest at St James Park Stadium, Aldridge suffered a collective bombing by the media at the pre-match press conference.


    "Why did the two players David Beckham and Phil Neville suddenly return to Manchester United after the last game? The official Manchester United announcement before the season was that the two players loaned Millwall for an entire season. What happened? what?"


    In the face of the reporters'' unwillingness to break the casserole''s posture, Aldridge was reluctant to talk in depth, and finally only said lightly: "The next Millwall''s schedule is looser, and the team''s current situation is enough to deal with all In the game, Beckham and Neville will no longer have a chance to play in Millwall. I think it is more beneficial for them to return to Manchester United by allowing them to return early."


    At this moment, Aldridge was able to understand the difficulties of the reporters.


    I originally thought that two heavy news last month were enough for the English journalists to stop for a while. Whether it was Graham¡¯s class or Cantona kicking the fans, it was enough for the journalists to write a special book. Both interviews declined to comment on the two incidents. Graham¡¯s Arsenal lost class to Millwall after class and Aldridge didn¡¯t want to fall into the trap.


    And Cantona kicked Crystal Palace fans. Millwall''s derby relationship with Crystal Palace was destined to make him easy to speak.


    Standing on the side of Manchester United, inhumane.


    Standing on the side of the Crystal Palace, isn''t that the elbow turned outward?


    Do not help each other?


    Opening the mouth means offending both sides.


    Can it be done?


    Today, reporters speculate whether Aldridge''s relationship with Manchester United has broken, or that hostile incidents have occurred.


    Judging from the questions raised by the reporter, Aldrich was slightly relieved. At least no one told the truth. His anger in the locker room and no one in the team leaked it out.


    "Gentlemen, if there is no question about the FA Cup game, then I will go first."


    Aldridge answered a few more questions about the game, and then got up and left.


    As for Kevin Keegan''s high-profile announcement that the game will beat Millwall before the game, Aldridge did not care.


    Kevin Keegan is also a wonderful flower in English football.


    The player era was very successful. In the seventies and eighties, it was regarded as an English superstar, especially the last game of retirement. After the end, a helicopter flew from the horizon to land on the court. Kevin Keegan Tears and fans waved goodbye, without changing the jersey, they got into the helicopter, then the helicopter flew away, and a generation of stars retired.


    It really has the style of "it''s a matter of having to brush clothes and hide the merits and fame".


    He is a striker who coached the Magpie, and it is good-looking to tune Newcastle United to attack. In the past two years, he has been a little floating, and he feels that he can break the wrist with Ferguson, and Aldridge feels ridiculous.


    If the football match depends on the offense to determine the winning or losing, Kevin Keegan has a big win.


    If it weren¡¯t for Millwall to have no idea about the cup this season, Aldridge would not change the team¡¯s strategy. He really wanted to give Kevin Keegan a "defense victory" with his young players. Lesson.


    The other party is proud, and Audridge, who is provocative, is too lazy to bother.


    Because of the departure of Beckham and Neville, Aldridge was somewhat stretched in the formation of the platoon. In the rematch of the FA Cup, he let Lucas Neal continue to appear and Zambrotta changed to the right back. The field followed the posture of playing Arsenal, Gattuso, Vieira, Barak.


    Three strikers: Grenchar, Phillips, Solskjaer.


    Aldridge wanted to see what effect 433, Glenchar and Solskjaer would play as wingers.


    At St James Park Stadium, Newcastle United dispatched all the main force, the two sides played a thrilling confrontation.


    The last game was 1:1.


    In this game, no one expected the score after 90 minutes: 4:4.


    Facing Newcastle United with an offensive and splendid personal ability, Aldridge knows that he can''t hold on. They are not facing the rough team of the Premier League, but the top team in the Premier League relying on the offensive ranking.


    And Barack and Vieira''s forward assist ability, coupled with the unexpected performance of the striker Trident, Millwall''s offense also played out.


    Phillips scored two goals alone, Solskjaer scored a goal, and Barak equalized with a header before the game.


    Millwall, who was exhausted in overtime, was eventually killed by the Magpies and eliminated in the fourth round of the FA Cup.


    Aldridge had no regrets, but in an interview after the game, he unexpectedly heard Kevin Keegan talking again.


    "Mr. Keegan said Millwall paid a price for disrespecting the FA Cup. Even if Millwall enters the Super League next season, it will be difficult to relegate successfully."


    "He really said that?"


    Aldridge was confused by the camera lens of the post-match interview.


    You won the game, but how do you celebrate, why do you have to bite me not to let go?


    Okay, Liang Zi is knotted!


    "I am very pleased to hear from Mr. Kevin Keegan. If Millwall enters the Premier League next season, our task is of course to relegate, especially when we meet a strong team like Newcastle United, we need to fight for them. Some points to avoid relegation, this season Newcastle United has lost the qualification for the Premier League championship, then I wish Mr. Kevin Keegan next season have the opportunity to touch the Premier League championship trophy."

 Chapter 52： I come from the future

    Aldridge''s post-match interview with Zang Dao was laughed out on the next day as Millwall will revenge against Newcastle United next season.


    Kevin Keegan naturally scoffed, thinking that the veteran powerhouse Newcastle United disdained to compare with Millwall. Meeting Millwall twice in the cup was also Millwall''s **** luck, but instead used the reputation of Newcastle United. increase awareness.


    After entering March, Millwall had a wide gap in the lineup because of the big difference between the chasing and the top of the standings. Aldrich had a room for platooning. On the premise of ensuring that the main lineup is one game a week, the reserve lineup has four. To six training sessions.


    In mid-March, Aldridge came home from get off work as usual, but saw a dazzling high-end car in the parking lot at his doorstep.


    He sighed helplessly: there is another party at home.


    In this luxurious villa, parties will be held every three to five, some are Arthur invited the old neighborhoods to get together, some are clever borrowing names, such as whose birthday, anniversary and the like.


    It wasn¡¯t Aldridge¡¯s solitude, but sometimes he dragged his tired body back home and just wanted to take a bath in comfort and then rest. The sudden attack at the banquet made him unprepared and he had to regain his energy.


    Before going home, Aldridge secretly said: It''s time to move out and live alone.


    He sorted out a suit and squeezed a smile into the hall. When he saw a crowd of people in the living room, Aldridge looked at the handsome men and women in the lobby. After observing it, he came to the conclusion that today''s party is not in the same grade low.


    Not only the guests'' clothes, including the gentleman''s words and deeds expressed by the male guests and the elegance presented by the female guests.


    It''s not like the usual quarrel when Arthur invited old neighbors to come, and even jumped up and down in the villa.


    Aldridge grabbed Rose and asked in a low voice: "What is today?"


    Ross pushed the gold glasses on the bridge of his nose and said seriously: "Mr. Hall has just made a sum of money. He feasted at home, invited a lot of business partners, and a few big men from the Balek Bank."


    The "Mr. Hall" in Rose''s mouth is naturally Aldrich''s elder brother Barnett.


    At the dining table, he picked a plate and picked some food on his stomach. Then Aldridge leaned on the stairs with a glass of champagne, raised the glass with one hand in the bag, and boredly admired the scene at home.


    He really didn''t expect that Barnett would be able to get the big guys of Balek Bank.


    Originally, Aldridge didn''t know much about the capitalist world, but because of the title of the Barclays Bank in the Premier League after the new millennium, he really learned a little about the background of the Barclays in his previous life. The description of the bank is unforgettable. : Total assets of trillions of pounds!


    This **** is called a consortium.


    Therefore, Barnett can invite people who can move the Balek Bank consortium, which obviously cannot be represented by a small clerk, enough to surprise Aldridge.


    Occasionally hearing the words from the guests, Aldridge knew roughly what Barnett meant.


    Not long ago, the financial crisis broke out in Mexico, Barnett took the opportunity to make a fortune.


    Suddenly, Aldridge''s mouth curled up to a wonderful arc.


    He saw a familiar stranger.


    A woman in a tight black dress wrapped around her slender body stood in the distance and was dealing with the man who talked to her.


    Aldridge sipped his champagne and laughed inwardly: the future Bella, now looks like a frightened child.


    He didn''t know why Victoria appeared at home, but he felt very comfortable looking at Victoria''s uneasy movements.


    "She is beautiful, right?"


    I don¡¯t know when there was a young and beautiful woman with long dark brown hair, very elegant, and a good figure, the kind of bulge and fleshyness that Aldridge would appreciate very much. Also in a black dress, look Get up and see.


    Aldridge looked down at the other person''s sly eyes. Sure enough, it was Victoria he had been staring at before. He shrugged: "Yes, she is indeed beautiful."


    In my heart: I don''t know if she will laugh after ten years.


    I remember that after she married Beckham, as Beckham became more and more famous, she spent most of her time appearing cool in public. The British media ridiculed that Beckham married a wife who couldn''t laugh.


    "do you like her?"


    The girl blinked in a playful manner, but Aldridge was frightened and waved her hands again and again: "No, no, she is a thorny rose, likes her? Killing me is better than being tortured by her."


    "Huh? Then why are you staring at her?"


    "Don''t you think she looks like a penguin leaving Antarctica now? You don''t know where to put your hand, and you seem to be afraid of being choked by your saliva. Although it is not ugly to laugh, it is very funny."


    Aldridge talked eloquently, and didn''t feel that it was rude to make fun of others like this.


    "Oh, I will tell her what you said."


    "Eh? Are you?"


    "Melanie Chisholm, that''s my good sister. Her name is Victoria. I''m in a group with her. She''s a hot girl group. You should have never heard of it. We haven''t officially debuted yet."


    The awkward look on Aldridge''s face flickered, and I just ridiculed Victoria, good fellow.


    Faced with the opponent''s hand, Aldridge also reached over and gently shook the opponent, smiling: "Audridge Hall, I am a football coach."


    "Football coach? Er, look at you so young, should be an ordinary coach, I like Liverpool, I was born in Liverpool, except Liverpool games, I do not watch, uh, strange, you are just a coach, how can you come What about the banquet here?"


    Melanie Chisholm looked at Aldridge up and down and shook her head in confusion.


    Aldridge shrugged and didn¡¯t explain, Melanie then asked, "Do you know Victoria before?"


    "do not know."


    "Then why do you seem afraid of her?"


    "Afraid? Jokes, I just know how she will come after being famous, tossing people, this kind of woman, I don''t know other men, I am very disgusted."


    Melanie''s eyes widened with an incredible expression, and she was a bit cute when she was surprised. She asked: "How do you know she will be famous? If she is famous, then I should be famous, me and her Is a combination."


    Aldrich''s face did not change his head and said: "Of course I know, because I come from the future."


    Poof!


    Melanie almost smirked. She stared at Aldridge with a bitter expression and said, "This is really old-fashioned."


    Aldrich raised his hand innocently: "I am telling the truth."


    "Hehehehe, well, Aldridge from the future. If you are from the future, tell me, what weather will it be tomorrow?"


    Aldridge raised his eyebrows and said, "Tomorrow Manchester will rain!"


    Melanie raised her fist pretendingly: "I was born in Liverpool. The ghostly place in Manchester has three or four rains a day. It seems that you can only cheat the children."


    After finishing the talk, Melanie bowed her head and smiled, and suddenly found the handsome guy beside him very interesting.


    At this moment, the eyes of the guests in the hall were all focused on the stairs, and Aldridge also looked up and saw Barnett in suit and some men who also dressed well, and their faces were hanging. Smile, it seems to have a very pleasant conversation upstairs.


    Melanie looked at the men curiously, but heard Audric murmur in her ears: "Can''t see me, can''t see me, can''t see me..."


    But he just stood on the edge of the stairs, Barnett saw him at a glance, beckoned happily: "Audrich, you are here, come here, I introduce some friends to you."


    Aldridge lamented: My brother, I have no interest in your friends, let alone males!


    Melanie''s eyes widened, and she didn''t understand what the person next to him was.


    Aldridge said to Melanie with a wry smile: "He is my elder brother, here is my home."


    "Aren''t you a football coach?"


    "Is there a conflict?"


    "Uh¡­¡­"


    Aldridge smiled apologetically and then walked to Barnett.


    After he left, Victoria walked to Melanie and asked curiously, "Who is the man you chatted with just now?"


    "It''s the gentleman''s brother."


    "Mr. Hall?"


    "That''s Mr. Hall? No. Isn''t the Hall family very rich? Why does Aldridge still need to be a football coach? That won''t make a few dollars."


    Melanie is puzzled. Even the top coach can earn less than a few million pounds a year. The Hall family is very big and their immediate children are not businessmen, so they are going to be football coaches.


    He is really alien!


    The babes are preparing for their debut. In the eyes of these girls who have just reached their 20s, this banquet belongs to a high society. The agent asked them to come and just want to try their luck, to be able to know more people with faces and faces. Career development is beneficial and harmless, and here is not a betrayal, just social.


    Aldridge was taken to a secluded place by Barnett, and Barnett gleefully introduced to him: "Audrich, this is Mr. Bishape of Balek Bank, Mr. Bishape, this is what I just mentioned Brother, Aldridge."


    "Hello there."


    Aldrich shook hands with each other, and then briefly greeted him, and then he remained silent, looking like he was in his early forties. He was polite and gentle, and he observed Aldridge with great interest. , But also can''t understand what the young man''s qualities are. Barnett sang praises.


    The Hall family has a lot of investment in Asia. When mentioning things in this regard, with the urge of Barnett''s eyes, Aldridge had to talk casually.


    But it made Bishapu deeply impressed him.


    "Some countries in Southeast Asia have continued to overheat and the economic bubble has expanded. It may not have much impact in the short term, but the development is worrying. By the way, brother, our family¡¯s investment in Southeast Asia, I think it can be before the end of next year. All are withdrawn, and should have made a lot of money anyway."


    Barnett immediately asked the assistant behind him to write things down in the notebook.


    Earn money, that is sure to make money. The stock market over there was only a few dollars worth a few years ago. In these years of economic growth, their investment has already had a high return.

 Chapter 53： Future profit

    In a country where even the prime minister and the queen will ask about football, football is an indispensable topic on all occasions, whether you are a high-ranking dignitarian or a trafficker.


    Bishapu knows that Aldridge is the owner and head coach of Millwall. He has no contempt in his eyes. In the past few decades and even hundreds of years in English football, football has always been closely related to the entire nation. This sport is integrated into the nation. In the spirit of Charlton, Charlton led his teammates to bleed the Champions League with old tears and shouted that every teammate who died in the Munich crash can make the world move. Tragedies such as the Heather tragedy can also shake the entire country. Even Gascoigne''s tears in Italy will impress every Englishman.


    Bi Sharp and Aldridge talked about football, especially when he talked about some doubts about the future development of the Premier League.


    In fact, as long as the Premier League was established, the Premier League had the naming rights in the league. Balek Bank had the intention of naming it, but it was eventually won by Kaling Beer. It was not that Balek Bank robbed Kaling Beer. With their financial resources and money Competition is not a problem at all.


    But it can be said that it was a period of social transformation in Britain. The iron lady Mrs. Thatcher just stepped down. The English football has not escaped the shadow of the Hibsburg massacre. The best players will go to Italy, even the fans have a saying : Soul will fly to Italy after death, so that you can see the best players in the world, the most exciting game.


    The Balek Bank Consortium just cared about the future of the Premier League, whether it continued to be sluggish or able to rejuvenate, and hesitantly, it withdrew from the competition titled Premier League.


    In recent years, England, which has just returned to the European arena, clearly has a huge gap with the strong European teams. The English football team is paying a price for its isolation from the European arena in the late 1980s.


    Liverpool, who was eliminated in the qualifiers, is no match for Portuguese superstar Benfica''s Arsenal, Leeds United, which was blocked by the Glasgow Rangers outside the group stage, Manchester United, who was eliminated by Galatasaray last season, and even this season''s group stage. The Nordic team G?teborg Hao took the first place in the group and was squeezed out by Barcelona. Once again, they failed to qualify for the Premier League defending champion Manchester United in the second half of the tournament.


    England have returned to the Champions League for five years, but none of them have appeared in the quarterfinals.


    When talking about the future development of the Premier League, Aldridge talked about it and talked to Bi Sharp about the development model of the Premier League. In particular, the English football is becoming more European, the number of foreign aid has increased significantly, and the club has been market-oriented, especially the establishment of the Premier League. Later, through broadcasting the huge income of financial affluence.


    On the contrary, although the Italian league is now the well-deserved first league, the disadvantages of the Italian league will also drag on the development of the league. The transfer of non-European quotas bears the brunt. The closure of foreign investment by the family operation of the club is a potential risk factor. In order to win by any means, there are many stars in the Italian league game, but there is also a brutal and rude development trend. People often see wonderful and smooth offense but ended with a rough foul drawing. Mo said that ten years later, the middle and late 1990s, There is a long list of well-known players on the Serie A injury list, but fans obviously want to see their figure on the stadium rather than recovering in Italy.


    "If the team representing the Premier League cannot achieve good results in the European arena, then the world¡¯s eyes, or the eyes of Europe, will not be focused on England. In this case, the value of the Premier League is only local, and the risk of sponsoring this event It is not directly proportional to income."


    Bishad made Aldridge nod, and he replied: "Yes, England as a big football country, its influence is huge, like some small European countries, even if their team has achieved great success in the Champions League, but also It is difficult to achieve great development, because the local football soil determines the limit of achievement. On the contrary, traditional European powers such as Britain, Italy, West Germany and France will have huge effects once they can achieve sustained success in the European arena, especially in the media. The fast-growing modern era, the attention of Italian football proves this point, if the Premier League team can also create such an effect, the Premier League can create a greater effect than Italy, the reason we have already talked about."


    Aldridge talked eloquently, and at the end of the conversation, Bi Sharp solemnly said: "I talked to Barnett about a cooperation. The Bank of Balek intends to sponsor a Premier League team. I heard that Millwall¡¯s The momentum is good. If Millwall can qualify in the Premier League next season, we are willing to become the team¡¯s chest advertising sponsor. What do you think?"


    Aldridge was very surprised.


    Balek Bank wants to sponsor the Premier League team?


    It¡¯s okay to sponsor anyone, but never choose Millwall subjectively.


    Millwall is a notorious rogue team!


    Even though the team has changed dramatically this season, the past impressions will not change qualitatively overnight.


    After recalling what Sharp said, Aldridge suddenly realized that this is just a friendly cooperation between the Balek Bank and the Hall family. In the consortium¡¯s Europeanization and even globalization strategies, allies are essential, and the Hall family rises to London. However, it is a well-known international capital. Barnett¡¯s entry into North America and investment in Southeast Asia have all received good returns. The Hall family with British local accounts is regarded by Baleck Bank as well.


    Aldridge asked with a smile: "Sponsorship fee?"


    "Three years, one million pounds per year."


    "No, one sign a year, you can sign a million pounds this summer, or 800,000 pounds, but next summer, if you still want to continue to sponsor, the sponsorship fee will be discussed separately."


    As far as Millwall''s reputation is concerned, the advertising sponsor on the chest has given ¡ê500,000 a year to Aldridge. The Premier League can now count on a team sponsored by millions of pounds.


    He smiled slightly than Sharp and said, "Okay, if Millwall plays in the Premier League next season, and we sponsor a million pounds in the summer, can I ask why? Why wouldn''t I sign for three years?"


    "It¡¯s simple. I have confidence in my team. Our business value will grow rapidly in the future. If you sign for three years at a time, Millwall will suffer. As you said, the Premier League team that can step onto the European arena, The economic benefits brought are huge."


    "Hehehe, you are always as confident as your brother, which is admirable."


    Aldrich and Bisha formally shook hands, and then ended the conversation happily.


    Having just watched Bishap leave, Barnett took another man to Aldridge.


    "Aldrich, this is Mr. Warm Heisenberg. He is the marketing director of Puma Germany. Andrew introduced him to come here and talk to you about the shirt sponsorship contract for next season. You talk about this, I don¡¯t bother."


    Barnett smiled and introduced Heidelberg to Aldridge and left.


    Aldrich shook hands with the handsome German man, nodding and smiling, and said, "It''s nice to meet you."


    Warm Heisenberg calmly talked to Aldridge. After a few words, Heisenberg went straight to the theme, proposing to become the exclusive jersey sponsor of Millwall with a sponsorship fee of 800,000 pounds per year. For five years.


    Aldrich repudiated: "Impossible! I know that no sponsors are willing to invest a lot of money in Millwall, but I refuse to sell Millwall¡¯s future benefits. Mr. Heisenberg, my proposal is In this way: the contract is signed once a year, we can sign a contract of 800,000 in the summer, and next summer, we will talk about it again. If Millwall¡¯s commercial value increases, or we are relegated next season, this will protect the interests of both parties. Loss, isn''t it?"


    Heisenberg seemed a little unhappy. He felt that the small village and small shop in Millwall, sponsored by a large company like them, should be happy to meet him.


    Aldridge said indifferently: "Mr. Heisenberg, do you know how many times Millwall¡¯s jersey sales this year were last year? I can honestly tell you: 13 times! Why? Because there are many fans in my team Stars in their eyes, they quickly became the most shining characters on the field, I think, if you are not looking at Schneider, you will not pay attention to Millwall, right?"


    Heisenberg nodded helplessly.


    Schneider from Germany grew rapidly and also had a good star temperament. After contacting his agent Andrew, Andrew recommended him to discuss the team jersey sponsorship contract with Aldridge, and claimed that this will be a win-win cooperation .


    "My team has many players from different countries. They have great potential. In the future, they will become the main members of the national teams of various countries. They will even shine in the most dazzling World Cup. I say you must think that I am in Dreaming doesn¡¯t matter, even if we can¡¯t talk today, I don¡¯t care, but I am a person who pays attention to human relations. Today we can lay the foundation for good cooperation. In the future, even if your company has competitors, I will first choose friends under the same conditions. "


    Warm Heisenberg was a little hesitant, he could only say that he would consider it again.


    Aldridge smiled away.

 Chapter 54： The scammers encounter

    Millwall in the Premier League is not well known, and the sponsorship fee is pitifully small, but with the great success of Sky Sports TV through the Premier League broadcast rights, the brand value of the Premier League will soon be reflected. If Millwall can rise to the super In the league, although there will be no qualitative leap in sponsorship fees, it is better than nothing. The amount of money is not too much.


    The advertising on the stadium will also enter a new stage of sponsorship in the next few months. Aldrich intends to let Adam take charge of these businesses, which was originally the responsibility of the club''s CEO.


    Barnett saw Heisenberg leave, he came over again, embraced Aldridge affectionately, and smiled mysteriously: "Come with me and give you a gift."


    Aldridge smiled helplessly and walked to the corner of the lobby. Barnett took a folder from his assistant and opened it in front of Aldridge.


    Aldrich took a closer look, the content of the document is a bit similar to the real estate developer''s plot.


    "On the east side of the Millwall Club, on the south side of the Thames, I bought a piece of land and planned to develop it into a residential area. There are 80 houses for you."


    Aldridge frowned and stared at Barnett, asking, "Why do you want to send me?"


    The land price in East London hasn¡¯t skyrocketed. What¡¯s more, Millwall¡¯s new stadium occupies a large amount of land. The purchase of land plus the total construction budget of the project is only about 15 million pounds. Aldridge estimates the cost price of this community. 10 million pounds.


    Barnett threw the file behind him, regardless of whether the assistant could catch it, he hugged Aldridge again and smiled: "There is no reason why you deserve it, in fact, my company, 51% of the shares are Mine, 30% of you are left, and 19% of Andrew. Don¡¯t talk about it, or you will be kidnapped if you don¡¯t make a good deal. Brother, I live in a mansion, I can¡¯t make you shabby, and you are now working as an adult. You don¡¯t have to be entertained. If you have friends who can play, don¡¯t worry about giving a house or anything. It¡¯s not worth a few dollars.¡±


    Aldridge whispered: "I have been outside for the past few years. I don''t know anything about your company. What do I deserve?"


    In European and American interpersonal relationships, even among loved ones, the distribution of property is very clear. Aldrich does not value money very much. He has more than three million pounds in his private account. He feels that it is enough to spend this life. And he now has clubs in operation, as long as he can operate healthily, making profits is not necessarily very difficult.


    Barnett squinted and said, "Oh, when you said that the Premier League broadcast was definitely going to make money, especially Sky TV would be crazy to make money, I bought shares in Murdoch''s company, hehe, the Yankees now want to take my hands every day. Buying the shares back, I¡¯m so stupid, I¡¯m not selling!"


    Aldridge didn''t know this at all, and he was dumbfounded at first hearing.


    Murdoch has long had a huge influence in the United Kingdom. He has a controlling stake in The Sun, The Times and The World News, but in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Murdoch failed most in the UK. ''S investment is Sky TV!


    Every year, tens of millions or even tens of millions of pounds are lost.


    Just before the establishment of the Premier League, the self-supporting portal of the Premier League club clearly challenged the authority of the FA. This incident was heated at the time. Aldridge accidentally talked about it with Barnett.


    This is his character, he doesn''t want to talk about it in detail, he can''t stop the car.


    From the 22 Premier League clubs under the leadership of BIG5 to play the role of the FA FA, plus the arrogance of the BBC and ITV, the rise of Sky TV and the Premier League alliance private song, the Premier League will be established, and the assertion will usher in a brand new Times.


    Barnett bought shares in Sky TV in 1991. At that time, he made a time difference. Before Murdoch had yet to make a private agreement with the Premier League, Sky TV had suffered huge losses for years. This Yankee engaged in TV stations, thinking that the British would Spending money to watch entertainment programs that Americans like is actually quite wrong. It can make most British people willing to pay for TV programs paid at home. The first ranking is: football, the second is: football, the third: Still football.


    When Murdoch was frustrated, Barnett''s equity investment only accounted for 20% of Sky TV''s shares, but Murdoch regretted his intestines after two years.


    After winning the broadcast rights of the Premier League, Sky TV¡¯s revenue situation is unprecedentedly grand: a sack and a sack of banknotes and checks are sent into the company every day, Sky TV has turned gorgeously from a loss of tens of millions of pounds a year, and its annual profit Over 40 million pounds!


    Barnett is very proud. It is expected that after the broadcast of the Premier League season ends this summer, he will be able to pay off all the huge loans he bought from Sky Bank from the bank with dividends. In less than four years, he will make Sky TV 20. % Stake!


    And this investment idea was a coup from a few casual words of his baby brother. Barnett not only had a brother''s spoiling for Aldridge, but also had a superstitious superstition.


    Even though Barnett made a good deal, Murdoch was not a wait-and-see, after all, a tycoon who only built a media empire, in Barnett''s mouth became: Big fool! It''s nothing more than the arrogance in the British man''s arrogance. It''s the ability to speak the tongue and the real talent. The British business community may not have many self-made riches comparable to Murdoch.


    "Okay, I accepted this gift."


    Aldridge is also not hypocritical, Barnett raised her eyebrows with a smile: "I won¡¯t disturb you anymore, the pretty chick over there has been staring at you, ha ha, our three brothers, you are the one you owe the most flat."


    "No matter how jealous you are, I just look more handsome than you."


    "Hahaha, then you can enjoy Yanfu."


    Barnett walked away with a laugh.


    Aldridge chuckled while standing with champagne in his place, and Melanie Chisholm, who had been watching him in the distance, immediately stepped up and said with his tongue: "Aren''t you a football coach?"


    "What''s suspicious?"


    Aldridge couldn''t help crying.


    "Uh, forget it, nice to meet you, Aldridge."


    Melanie seemed to be leaving. The other members of the hot girl group were already standing by the door, and they all looked at Aldridge with a smile.


    Aldridge shook hands formally with her again and smiled: "Me too, bye."


    Melanie smiled and turned away, and when she returned to her companions, she was ridiculed by her companions.


    Aldridge smiled and looked at the tempting back of the hot girl group. Melanie looked back at the shy smile before going out to make him remember for a long time.


    Because it was FIFA game day again, Aldridge took two days off for the team, he changed into casual clothes and went to Bond Road in West London, this is the most fashionable street in West London, an international famous brand store Everywhere, it is beyond the reach of ordinary people.


    Aldrich wore a sports and casual outfit and a cap on his head. He looked very different on this street where pedestrians were mostly dressed in leather and suits.


    With a glass of juice in his hands, Aldrich looked back and forth on the street, looking for a mobile phone.


    Even though the mobile phone still seemed to be a big brother a few years ago, as Motorola entered the German market with unprecedented success in the 1990s, it also quickly led the standard of mobile phone development, and the shape of the mobile phone has become small and light.


    Aldridge had no interest in carrying Big Brother, but at the banquet at home yesterday, he saw several female guests holding small and exquisite mobile phones in his hands. He realized that the mobile phones had become no longer clumsy.


    It''s not Aldridge''s pursuit of fashion and trend, which is convenient for work.


    Britain has never had a world-class mobile phone brand, and the domestic market has been occupied by foreign brands. Aldrich randomly entered a mobile phone brand store and accidentally saw a pair of familiar backs.


    The two were communicating with the waiter, carefully holding the mobile phone in their hands to try.


    "What a coincidence."


    Aldridge came to them and greeted with a smile.


    Both eyes stared at Aldridge.


    Victoria looked at Aldridge up and down, her eyes full of curiosity, and Melanie was surprised. After seeing Aldridge''s dress, she smiled and said: "Audrich, are you going in the wrong place? Isn''t it? Go to the training ground? Mr. Coach."


    Aldrich shrugged it didn¡¯t matter: ¡°I¡¯m going on holiday today, go shopping to relax, there is no need to wear formal clothes, comfort is the most important.


    "Oh, it makes sense. Are you also going to buy a mobile phone?"


    "Ok."


    Aldridge glanced down at the counter display and pointed to a black mobile phone to the waiter: "I want this one, just give it to me if I have tried it."


    Aldridge finished withdrawing his wallet, withdrawing his bank card to pay for it, and paying ¡ê10 to the waiter by the way.


    The waiter was a little surprised. The customer in sportswear did not spend a minute from entering the door to paying the money. This was the most comfortable transaction she had made.


    Aldridge is not interested in these phones now. They are bought for convenience, and there will be no extra curiosity to try again and again.


    As long as it was not bad, he did not want to take it out of his pocket.


    After looking at some dazed girls beside him, Aldridge smiled at the waiter: "Yes, their two phones are also counted on me."


    Melanie exclaimed, "How do you do that?"


    A few hundred pounds of mobile phones are still luxury goods for them.


    Aldridge turned his head to look at Melanie for three seconds, and after she closed the temptation to wipe her lips with red lipstick, Aldridge nodded and said seriously: "Well, well, it''s up to you to pay for it yourself."


    Now Melanie grew her mouth again and asked, "Why don''t you hold on? Maybe I agreed."


    Aldridge blinked: "How many times do I have to hold on?"


    "once!"


    Victoria smirked before Melanie''s mouth and said solemnly.


    Aldridge frowned, "Well, I''ll just stick it once, two ladies. Sending a mobile phone to you is no big deal to me. Don''t worry, it''s just a gift from friends. Otherwise, you will send me a Ferrari in the future, I will definitely accept it directly."


    Melanie and Victoria couldn''t help but listen to Aldridge''s gift generously.


    After Aldridge walked out of the store with his mobile phone, Melanie''s cry came behind him: "Audrich, you big liar!"

 Chapter 55： You are a liar!

    Biting a straw eye, staring at Melanie Chisholm with a smile in front of him, Aldridge loosened his straw, his tongue slightly licked the juice from his mouth, and said softly: "Melanie , Defamation is imprisoned."


    Melanie covered her mouth and smiled, "You said that it will rain in Manchester today. I just called my friend over there, Aldridge. Manchester is not raining today and the sun is shining!"


    Aldridge slapped his head in the forehead, and saw the Victoria who had gone away in the corner of his eyes. The young hot girl was happily calling her friend on the mobile phone, showing off the "secondary" tone with bragging. Shouted: "Guess who I am..."


    Looking back at the sly-eyed Melanie''s face, Aldridge spread his hand and said: "It''s only three o''clock in the afternoon. Can you guarantee that Manchester will not rain until 12 o''clock at night?


    Melanie shook her head and smiled: "No."


    Aldridge''s mouth turned up: "So, you are still slander!"


    "But I have a hunch that you are a liar! So I will debunk your lies today!"


    Melanie raised the phone in her hand. The meaning was obvious. If Manchester rained, she would know by phone.


    Aldrich shook his head and remained silent for a moment, then raised his smile and said, "Understood, I have one more follower today, so let''s go."


    When he finished, he slightly raised his right elbow, and Melanie asked dumbly, "What do you mean?"


    "Look at the people on this street."


    Aldridge Nunu''s mouth, Melanie looked around, and found that the men and women on Bond Street were mostly in pairs. She raised her hand to cover her mouth, revealing a bit of shyness, then took a deep breath, and then the demonstration seemed to face Aldridge He lifted his head to his chest, his arm held his arm.


    The two had just walked a few steps. Melanie was attracted by a window dress and was about to go in. Suddenly, the shop clerk deared the probe and looked at the door, and then quickly closed the door.


    "Are we looking like robbers?"


    Melanie looked shocked.


    She had already stepped on the stairs outside the door of this fashion store with half her feet.


    Aldridge took her straight forward with a chuckle, and said: "It is estimated that a star has just entered that store, Bond Street is like this, usually come here, if you see which store closes suddenly, inside It must be a big star patron."


    "Oh, so, let''s go check it out, the glass window of that store is not blocked by curtains."


    "Can''t afford to lose that man!"


    Aldridge and Melanie strolled on Bond Street for an hour without spending money. When both were bored, Melanie dragged Aldridge to a London health club.


    At the club¡¯s boxing ring, Aldridge was surprised to see Melanie wearing a sports vest and gloves on both hands, glaring provocatively at Aldridge.


    Aldridge put on his gloves immediately, and Melanie banged her fists on and kept laughing. "Mr. Liar, I heard that you are a coach. Let me see what you do."


    Even though Aldridge does not have much athletic talent, he has maintained his exercise habits for many years, and his physical fitness has nothing to say. Only when Melanie is playing around, she will go crazy with her. Just looking at Melanie¡¯s current pair This kind of amorous costume is enough for her to spend her life with the beauty.


    It was just that he didn''t expect Melanie to be really a trained person. Her two fists staggered to block her chin after the center of gravity was lowered. There were really a few boxing masters in the brisk movement.


    After being punched into the corner of the ring by several consecutive combinations of her, Aldridge retreated and could only protect her head.


    "Hey, Aldridge, are you just these two?"


    Melanie backed her back and spread her fists, her chin raised high, her eyes disappointed.


    Aldridge twisted his neck and played with the taste: "What a joke? It''s really funny to make you play? It''s too easy to knock you down."


    "boast!"


    Melanie threw another punch, but was shocked to find that Aldridge quickly lowered her head and bent down to hide, and hugged her waist with both hands, and rushed forward. Melanie immediately lost weight, and her feet were falling back. Off the ground, with a bang, she lay on her back on the ring, and Aldridge pressed on her.


    "Hey, give Ge Le one!"


    Aldridge looked down at Melanie looking up at the sky, but when she saw her cheeks flushed, her eyes dodged and scolded: "Rogue!"


    Aldridge was surprised: "Hey, I am really punching, do you still want to debut? This beautiful face is broken, I don''t feel sorry if you don''t feel hurt."


    Melanie yelled at him with a ruddy face: "Your arm is pressing on my chest! Rogue!"


    Aldrich later realized that his arm was pressing against a ball of softness. He jumped up and said with a smile: "It was definitely not intentional just now! Although I am not a gentleman, I still don''t use it. Way to wipe the oil."


    Melanie stood up arrogantly, maybe Aldridge was knocked down. She hurried to change her clothes and let Aldridge leave with her.


    In the evening, as the sun sets, Adrich and Melanie sit next to each other on the seats on the Thames, facing the famous Taylor Gallery in London.


    Melanie asked feebly: "Do you go there often?"


    Aldridge sneered: "Of course not, and I haven''t been there once. What a joke. How can I appreciate a master-level art masterpiece like my vulgar soul? But in case my mind becomes enlightened, I am master-level art I have sublimated my soul, and since then, I have no dirty words to speak, and my life will be over, anyway, my life is destined to be nowhere to be elegant."


    Melanie turned to Aldridge helplessly and said, "You are so shameless, I feel like you are boasting about yourself. It seems that if you go in and out, you will become a saint?"


    Aldrich said seriously: "Who knows, oh, only God knows, but I don''t believe him."


    "I don''t believe it! Go, let''s go in here, if you can''t grow wings on your back or multiple apertures on your head, then I will beat you!"


    Melanie said she was about to leave Aldridge towards the Taylor Art Gallery, but Aldridge opened his sleeves calmly and looked at the time on the watch and said: "I have no chance today, there are two minutes left, Taylor Fine Art The museum is closed, and voila, the security guard is closing."


    Melanie turned her head and looked back. Sure enough, the museum was closed.


    She sat down desolately and said angrily: "Audric, why are you so cunning?"


    "Work required."


    "Aren''t you a football coach?"


    "Why do you repeatedly doubt my profession?"


    "You won. I''m hungry. Let''s go to dinner. Manchester still hasn''t rained. As a punishment for cheating, you should invite me to dinner."


    Aldrich looked up at the darkened canopy and said seriously: "But how many hours are there before 12 o''clock?"


    "But I am already hungry..."


    "Okay, you won. What do you want to eat?"


    "you guess."


    "Let''s wait, maybe Manchester will rain in an hour."


    Melanie stared at Aldridge with her mouth full of resentment and provocatively said, "I will eat whatever I say?"


    "No, it''s what you plan to eat. I''ll accompany you. If you say you have stool, I''m not a fool. Of course, if you insist on eating stool, I won''t accompany you."


    "Ah... Aldrich you are disgusting! Let''s go eat Chinese food, hum, you must not get used to it, my mother makes great Chinese food."


    Aldridge was a little surprised this time, turned to look at her, and asked, "Do you like Chinese food? Correct, the saying that the cuisine is Japanese, orthodox Chinese never say that Chinese food is Chinese cuisine."


    "Huh? Oh, are you scared?"


    "Huh, hum, sorry, the most authentic Chinese food, I''m afraid you haven''t eaten at all, Chinese food is varied, sweet and salty, hot and spicy, have you heard of it? In my face, Chinese food, you are still tender , Banmen got axe."


    Melanie''s eyes lit up suddenly, and when Audridge pulled up, she smiled and said: "It seems that you are very experienced, oh, it''s rare to have like-minded friends with taste, go away, let''s go eat and drink..."


    Aldridge, who played outside for a day, came home at night to listen to the radio news while taking a shower.


    He was in a good mood today, wandering around with Melanie and having a full meal at night, leaving him fluttering all over the body, humming in the bath.


    "Manchester has another two rains today. It is expected that such weather will continue until the weekend. For the Premier League where the championship situation has heated up, if Old Trafford on the weekend is a rain battle, this is obviously not the coach Ferguson. Happy to see..."


    The singing of Aldridge''s throat stopped abruptly, and his relaxed and comfortable expression became stiff.


    His wail came from the bathroom: "Fuck! Melanie, you are a big liar!"


    At the same time, Melanie holding her mobile phone in her London apartment was lying on the single bed in her pajamas, looking at the phone number on the screen of her mobile phone, her thumb hanging on the dial key hesitantly.


    She finally dispelled the urge to dial out, recalling what happened during the day, she was holding her increasingly hot cheeks into the bed.

 Chapter 56： Love!

    At the beginning of May, Millwall sat at home and ushered in the last round of the Premier League opponent: Svenden.


    In the past two months, Millwall has a brilliant record. He has won eight wins, four draws and one loss in the 13 rounds of the league. He has locked the Premier League title six rounds in advance, and the score has reached a record of 104 points. If he wins, he will win , Then the points record will be refreshed to 107 points.


    The top scorer in the Ligue 1 has fallen on Larson without suspense. He has scored a horrific 38 goals in the 39 league games he has participated in. The goal efficiency is close to one goal per game, and the scorer ranked second. Trezeguet''s goal count also reached an astonishing 28, the assist king is Schneider, 21 assists also refreshed the record of the first division.


    This was not just a season when Millwall was reborn, but also an extraordinary season.


    Svenden, the opponent in the finale, is also an extraordinary season this season.


    After dropping from the Premier League to the first division last season, Swindon ranked fourth from the bottom of the Premier League, only 2 points away from Sunderland ranked fifth, if the relegation is required, Swindon will not only be in the lion''s den The stadium defeated Millwall, who had 19 wins and 3 draws in the first 22 home games of the season, and he also hoped that West Brom, who is a guest of the black cat Sunderland, could cut Sunderland down, even if it was West Brom. Ping Sunderland and Swindon''s victory are meaningless, because they have a big difference between Sunderland and 15 in the goal difference.


    The league champion is already in the bag, and Audridge faces the final battle, the same strategy as in the past two months: send substitute players to the field as much as possible to exercise.


    In the past two months, Aldridge has not only enjoyed a prosperous career, but also seems to have ushered in the love scene. Since he met the sports hot girl Melanie, he will date her after work, and will talk on the phone every day before bed. There is a posture like paint.


    Recently, the Spice Girls filmed their first single in London, and they are preparing to make their official debut in the UK. The chance of the two meeting is naturally less, and Aldridge does not care. Although the league is about to end, but for the boss and coach, he came Say, the really busy will be the summer transfer period.


    The Premier League ended the penultimate round of the league game earlier. The leader Blackburn and the second-placed Manchester United won a small goal at home. In the standings, Manchester United trailed Blackburn by 2 points and ended in the middle of the month. On the way, Manchester United challenged the Hammer to help West Ham United, Blackburn was a guest of the Reds Liverpool, the situation is not too bad for Manchester United, after all, they are far better than Blackburn in the goal difference, once Blackburn can not capture Anfield, even if it is In a draw, as long as Manchester United wins away, it will stage a good show to reverse the championship.


    In the final round of the championship, the Premier League''s suspense makes the outside world full of expectations.


    At this time, the media¡¯s attention was naturally attracted by the Premier League champions, especially Dalglish led his team to return to Anfield, and it is possible to win Liverpool¡¯s five-year league championship trophy here. The unscrupulous media even asserted that the Red Army would lose old feelings and let Dalglish defeat Ferguson, the enemy.


    At the same time, Manchester United has also attracted criticism and speculation from the media. After Cantona was suspended, Manchester United repeatedly missed the opportunity to overtake Blackburn in the key battles. The defeat of Anfield in the guest game was also lost. The Reds beat Manchester United, England Everyone knows, but at home they can''t win Leeds United, Tottenham, or even mediocre Chelsea, even without scoring goals, which makes the outside world focus on Manchester United''s front line.


    Don¡¯t look at Manchester United¡¯s scoring in the Premier League. In fact, there is a lot of water. It¡¯s just that in the early relegation Ipswich has scored 11 goals in two rounds, and there is a 2:3 away loss. Nine goals at home created a record massacre, but scored 3 points.


    Therefore, when Ferguson was repeatedly asked how to change the weakness of the front, especially the weak frontline of the key campaign, Ferguson mentioned a familiar name in the media: Henrik Larson.


    The old fox praised Larson, thinking that Larson should go to Old Trafford to put on the Red Devils shirt. His technical characteristics are fully in line with Manchester United''s tactical system. At Manchester United, Larson can create great achievements.


    Therefore, when Aldridge attended the press conference of the closeout of the League One as usual, reporters from more than thirty media in the audience raised their hands, and after Aldridge just sat down, someone directly asked: "Hall Sir, Manchester United is very interested in Larson. Will Millwall sell Larson in the summer?"


    At the press conference, the scene suddenly became quiet. Dozens of eyes were fixed on Aldridge. The reporters held pens in their hands, preparing to write down every word Aldridge said.


    Obviously it was the close of the British League, but no one cared.


    Almost all the journalists scolded in the bottom of my heart: Fuck! The League One is long over! The only suspense is who will be relegated to Swindon and Sunderland, and who will win the final round of the Premier League in the playoffs!


    What they are more interested in now is whether Larson will put on the red devil''s shirt!


    Larson, that is a super forward who can score nearly 40 goals in the Premier League in a single season. Even if there is a huge gap between the Premier League and the Premier League, Larson is still young. If he goes to Manchester United, he can play in a single season. With more than 15 goals, the future will definitely be a big star.


    The key question is: Will Millwall sell it?


    Can they stay?


    Will this young handsome lose his gaze because he was dug?


    News, all news!


    At the silent conference, Aldridge glanced back and forth calmly, and found that the reporters sitting under the stage were like good students who listened carefully, preparing to record his words on the book, each pair of eyes looking at him turned green .


    Aldridge pondered for a moment, then said: "Ferguson said he loves Larson? Really?"


    "true love!"


    The reporters from the audience shouted in unison.


    Damn, sell it or not, hurry up and say it!


    Aldridge blinked, and said slowly and magnetically, "Love is a sweet pain. True love is never a smooth road."


    After all, Aldridge stood up calmly from his seat and strode off the scene with a stride.


    More than 30 reporters in the audience were caught in the petrochemical industry if they were struck by lightning.


    In their minds, two sentences circled in unison.


    The first sentence: WhattheFuck!


    Second sentence: Whatthehell?


    What the fuck? !


    At the press conference, all the reporters were ignorant.


    Thomson of The Sun is definitely a liberal arts student. He was the first to respond and shouted: "Shakespeare!"


    Everyone turned to look at Thomson, eyes staring at him like a knife, they all seemed to ask: What do you mean? !


    "Mr. Hall just said Shakespeare''s famous quote."


    The pan fried at the press conference!


    The reporters whispered and asked if they understood what they meant.


    The evocative reporter frowned, unable to understand the mystery in Aldrich''s words.


    Is it true that Millwall and Larson''s love is just being tested, or is it not easy for Manchester United, a third party, to want to be loved?


    Some reporters have scratched their heads, but this is just a kind of ambiguous speculation. It is okay to understand it. It is estimated that to know the answer, it is necessary to split Aldridge''s head.


    Aldrich, who left the press conference, smirked, he had mastered the experience of dealing with the media.


    Don¡¯t be led by the media. In the past, interviews or press conferences were all in the form of question and answer. In this way, passiveness will only be led by the media. Now he has to take the initiative to attack.


    As for the players.


    Just in the first week of May, the club had already renewed the contract with all players in the first team. According to last season''s performance, all players received a salary increase of 3,000 to 10,000 pounds!


    This is a substantial salary increase, with an additional signing fee of 20,000 to 50,000.


    Aldridge really made the blood. Although the season is not over yet, the club''s income has been calculated.


    Throughout the season, jersey sales have skyrocketed, earning almost half a million pounds. The home attendance rate is close to each full seat, with a revenue of 200,000 pounds per game. After a season, the income is close to 5 million pounds. In addition, the broadcast fee Although not much, but combined with the game bonus, there are more than 400,000 pounds.


    After digging out the cost, Aldridge found that he injected 30 million pounds last year. In addition to the summer transfer of nearly 13 million pounds, the balance of the club¡¯s book was close to 20 million pounds. This was unexpected, so he quickly finalized the player¡¯s He didn''t feel distressed about the contract and the big salary increase. The prospect of extending the player''s contract for one year would be inestimable.


    In addition to the new sponsorship fee in the summer and the receipt of a fixed share of the Premier League broadcast next season, Aldridge can even make a transfer budget of five million pounds in the summer.


    For this summer, Aldridge is equally ambitious, he needs to lay a more solid foundation for the future.

 Chapter 57： Two-minute red card

    In the final match of the League One, the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium was full of seats. From the stand that has been in full swing before the game, the fans are clearly in a good mood today, even though the outcome of the game is not important, but after all, it is the team¡¯s last home stadium. The game, come here to support is a kind of praise to the team.


    Millwall''s main lineup, most of the players are sitting in the stands behind the bench, Larson, Nedved, Southgate, Pires and other suits and leather sit in a row, chatting casually with a relaxed look .


    After the game ended, Aldridge did not want to celebrate the championship, a Premier League champion, there is no need to make players proud, he will call the team after the game to summarize the season, and then give the players a holiday.


    When Aldridge came out of the player''s tunnel, the fans stood up and applauded, and applause and cheers circled over the Lion''s Cave Stadium.


    The Hall family entered the Millwall club, and the young coach Odridge''s first record of coaching the Premier League won the hearts of all fans.


    The league points are about to leave a record score, the number of goals has reached 119, and the average number of goals exceeds 2.6. The players purchased for the team quickly became the heroes of fans.


    In the Premier League next season, Millwall fans are full of expectations.


    Aldridge raised his arms and applauded towards the stands above his head. Before walking to the coach seat, he saw the South Stand, and the Roaring Fans organization raised a huge banner.


    "To favorite Aldridge: stay Larson!"


    The Lion Roar fan organization is not Audridge''s private property. At best, he gives the fan organization some convenience on the ticket. In other respects, he has no time to ask, but this fan organization has a soul.


    Just before the start of the game, when the British media revealed that Manchester United intends to introduce Larson, the Roaring Fans organization wrote an open letter to the club, in which they hoped that the club would keep Larson to avoid such things as Sheringham and Cascari. Connaught departed and the incident happened again.


    Cascarino only played in Millwall for three seasons, but he and Sheringham formed an unstoppable striker combination. Even now, Cascarino is still the top scorer in Marseille.


    Sheringham is the pain of Millwall fans.


    Sheringham, who joined the Millwall youth team at the age of 16, played for the team for eight years, then transferred to Nottingham Forest, and then returned to London to White Hart Lane.


    Millwall fans want to forget Sheringham, but they always remember the goodness he brought to Millwall, but Sheringham is already the head scorer of the North London team, and Millwall fans can only look sad and watch the cold. .


    Will Larson leave on the team?


    Aldridge did not express his views to the outside world, but he has done a good job of thinking for the players internally.


    For example, Larson and Aldridge have talked to him. If Larsson wants to go, Aldridge will not block it. Especially when joining traditional giants like Manchester United, what reasons does Aldridge block? The appeal of Millwall and Manchester United is simply not comparable.


    However, Aldridge analyzed the situation for Larson from his standpoint.


    Manchester United spent six million pounds to set a record for the transfer of 6 million pounds and introduced Andy Cole to replace the Welsh king Mark Hughes. After Cantona''s return from the ban, will Larson have a main position in Manchester United?


    Anyway, he is in Millwall, there are no injuries and attitude issues, Aldridge will definitely guarantee his starting position and team status.


    As for other teams in England, the transfer fee is a hurdle, the salary is also a hurdle, coupled with the team''s competitiveness and so on, Audridge convinced Larson to stay.


    By the end of the season, the news of the renewal of the players in the team will be announced collectively, coupled with Aldridge''s cold handling of the media questioning, this summer, Millwall will not usher in turmoil.


    On the court, players from both sides have entered the field, and Aldridge also sat down on the coach seat, chatting happily with Jenson.


    In the past season, the atmosphere in the team was good. Perhaps it was all due to the youth. The coaching staff also paid off through dedication. Looking at the team''s invincibility in the League One, everyone is full of pride.


    Swindon is determined to win this game. They want to win the relegation successfully, they must win the victory, so they have the momentum to fight back.


    And Millwall''s bench lineup, Aldridge sent a 433 formation, Phillips was in the middle of the striker, Glenshare and Solskjaer were on both sides, and the midfielder was Gattuso and Vieira. , Midfielder Barack, of the four backs, Lucas Neal continued to play the left back, Materazzi and Richards teamed up with two central defenders, and Zambrotta also became more and more stable on the right back.


    Swindon is playing the traditional 442. After the game started, he used a long pass to create a threat.


    For this set, Millwall''s backup lineup is not afraid.


    As England famous Brian Crawford said: If football has to fly around in the sky, why is turf not built in mid-air?


    The more such a high-altitude fight, Millwall counterattack through the ground is more like a fish.


    The mentality of the entire coaching staff is very relaxed, everyone is talking and laughing, Aldridge only occasionally glances at the situation on the court, the young player cherishes every game experience, he does not need to stand on the sidelines to supervise, the players on the court Naturally, the three armies serve.


    But when the game reached the second minute, a shocking scene suddenly appeared on the court.


    Svenden lifted the ball into Millwall''s penalty area from midfield. The falling ball was easily headered by Materazzi and was given to Vieira in front. After Vieira received the ball, he organized an attack to fight back.


    But the ball had just arrived at the feet of Barak, but the referee suddenly stopped the game and turned to run towards Millwall''s backcourt.


    Everyone''s eyes were also cast on Millwall''s backcourt.


    I saw a Svenden striker who was rolling on the ground scolding angrily!


    The Svenden striker screamed on the ground with his face covered in pain.


    "what happened?"


    Aldridge frowned and asked, he didn''t see it just now.


    The Babu probe in the coaching staff said: "It seems that Marco slaps Robbie Gates of the opponent on the ground!"


    Aldridge got up from his seat, and a booing booing sounded at the Lions Stadium, because the referee showed a red card directly to Materazzi!


    Materazz hit the ball without the ball?


    Aldridge felt that he could really do it.


    But, for what?


    Arguing?


    Is the opponent provoking?


    Materazzi cannot be racially discriminated against.


    "Marco, what happened?"


    When Materazzi walked off the court with a gloomy face, Aldridge asked calmly. Materazzi''s face was very ugly on the sidelines, his mouth moved, and finally he just shook his head and walked into the player channel.


    Aldridge felt helpless, obviously Matrazzi was reluctant to say.


    Materazzi was sent off in the first two minutes. Swindon immediately had a number advantage. Robbie Gates, who was rolling on the ground, also rubbed his face and stood up. He went to the sidelines to receive the treatment of the team doctor. There is indeed some redness on the outside, but there is no other major problem.


    Aldridge glanced at the next door, waving his arms happily and letting the players seize the opportunity to attack the Svenden coach. With a sigh, Aldridge made a gesture on the sidelines, **** pointed to the back of the waist, and then toward the penalty area Finger pointing inside.


    Millwall players are waiting for instructions from Audric. When this gesture is completed, Gattuso and Vieira immediately understand that the double-back defense is deeper in defense and forms a number advantage in the penalty area.


    Anyway, Swindon is playing a long pass and is not in the midfield transition. The number of midfielders is inferior. The other party is not expected to use it. Moreover, Gattuso and Vieira, covering each other, it is enough for one person to be able to sweep in front of the penalty area. By the way, Barak will naturally delay slightly.


    After making the adjustment, Aldridge returned to the coach seat, frowning angrily: "What the **** happened just now? Grass, this small stadium."


    There is no big screen broadcast at Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium, or you can watch a slow-motion replay.


    Craig, like many fans in the stands, took a radio out of his pocket and started listening to the broadcast of the game.


    After a while, as long as the fans in the stands took the ball, a booing explosion would erupt.


    Craig explained to Aldridge with a wry smile: "The radio explained the whole process of restoring things. It seemed that Materazzi went forward after the header, Robbie Gates came to him and violated Matera. Qi."


    "Agression? What action?"


    Aldridge''s brows tightened, and some did not understand that if Materazzi was the first party to be violated, the cunning on his court should have caused the opponent to get a red card.


    Craig whispered: "The footage captured by the retransmission lens is, uh, Robbie Gates, he, he seems to have poked with his fingers, poked Materazzi''s buttocks."


    Including Aldridge, the entire coaching staff was dull.


    The bench behind him also heard it. Someone couldn''t hold back and burst out laughing.


    Materazzi was chrysanthemum!


    Aldridge used a lot of perseverance to hold back and smiled, and said to Jenson weirdly: "You comfort him, don''t let him smash our locker room..."


    Jenson immediately got up and still smiled before walking into the player tunnel.

 Chapter 58： Dramatic ending game

    Materazzi returned to the dressing room and did not smash it violently, but took off his shirt and sat on the stool in front of his closet.


    Assistant trainer Jenson pushed open the door of the dressing room, and when he saw Materazzi''s picture, he was very determined.


    Sitting down beside him, Jenson didn''t speak, but Materazzi whispered angrily: "I let the boss down, right?"


    Jenson smiled easily: "It should be no, we are not saints, anyone will make mistakes, Marco, you are a defensive player, originally on the football field, the defensive player and the offensive player are double standards, the offensive player can be in the ninety Fail and fail within minutes, and then fail, as long as you succeed once, you may become a hero, and within 90 minutes, the defensive player succeeds and succeeds, but if you make a mistake, you may become a sinner. You don¡¯t have to blame, the defender originally What I did was dirty work, heavy work, hard work, and even no desire to live."


    Materazzi felt a lot more comfortable. He always felt that Jensen¡¯s words were from the sound of a bosom friend. He shook his head slightly and said: "The other **** is too much. I was stunned by anger at that time, and I don¡¯t know the next time. , Will I repeat the same mistake."


    He was poked at the chrysanthemum with his finger, which would be too much for any slightly **** man. If it is not on the football field, a slap is light!


    Jenson nodded and compared his heart. If he was Materazzi, he would not have made the same mistake, but he still said seriously: "Marco, I haven''t experienced anything like this, I''m hard to tell you How to think in that situation, I can only talk about the consequences, assuming that today¡¯s game is the game that determines the league champion, the English League Cup, the FA Cup final, and even the UEFA Champions League final, you participated on behalf of Italy European Cup finals, World Cup finals. You were sent off just two minutes into the opening, not to mention the impact on your teammates and coaches, just yourself, will you be in the next ten, twenty, thirty years Regret that move? And half of the fans in the world will say Robbie Gates is shameless and dirty, and the other half will say Materazzi is a stupid donkey that can be easily irritated."


    Materazzi turned his head seriously to stare at Jensen, his deep eyes gleaming cunningly.


    The bad guys on the football field are everywhere, and the infamous villain butcher will never disappear in rivers and lakes.


    Robbie Gates is not well-known, but is an annoying striker on the court. People are used to the kind of guards who constantly harass the forward through small actions. This kind of annoying harassment usually wins the industry''s best reputation for such players. "Doctor", their harassment is like checking the patient''s body.


    It''s just subversively that today Svenden''s forward harassed Millwall''s defender and successfully achieved the purpose of angering his opponent.


    With one less player on the field, Craig sat next to Aldridge and suggested, "Do you want Thuram to warm up?"


    Thuram can play as a full-back, and he can also play in a full-back. Aldridge placed him on the bench today, in fact, one person for two.


    But Aldridge smiled and shook his head: "No need."


    The situation on the court was not one-sided. Swindon did not retreat in order to avoid relegation. In the case of superior numbers, they did not have the patience to play positional battles. They used the simplest and roughest way to attack and accumulate the number of offenses in the frontcourt.


    Seeing his opponents rushing towards Millwall in half, Aldridge turned to Craig and said: "Swindon thought they were wolves and can now easily eat Millwall. They were wrong. They are more like a panic now. The flock of sheep. We don¡¯t have one fight, but we don¡¯t necessarily have a disadvantage."


    Because of one less player, Millwall''s tactical execution will be higher, and the team''s offense and defense will be more consistent at both ends. In this way, instead of playing more firmly than the eleven, this situation is not uncommon on the football field. In fact, there are many teams that can play more efficient games without one person.


    When Swindon''s cross in front of the penalty area was cut off by Gattuso, their rear line immediately sounded the alarm.


    Gattuso handed the ball to Vieira. Vieira''s big foot passed the ball diagonally to the opponent''s half. Glennshire, who started from the center line, used the speed to throw Svenden''s entire line of defense on Behind him.


    Seeing this scene, the Lion''s Cave Stadium shook again.


    Aldrich turned his head confidently and smiled: "Look, the massacre of the sheep by the lion has begun!"


    Glenn Carre, Phillips, Solskjaer, all three arrows, Svenden''s back line was shocked to find that their entire line of defense was chasing the three Millwall forwards without even reaching the big restricted zone line. !


    The weird scene on the court surprised the TV commentators: "Swindon''s guards are too slow. Millwall''s simple counterattack turned into three track and field athletes sprinting. Swindon''s goalkeeper is really poor, he I don¡¯t know how to do it at all. Should I abandon the goal or stay in place? Oh, he abandoned the goal, Glennshire unexpectedly scored the ball to the right, Phillips easily pushed and scored an empty goal Millwall, who played one less, instead took the lead in the score. Perhaps, as the newspaper said, Aldridge, a young and amazing coach, who recruited last year, actually went to the track and field for a lap. Then let the sprinters play football..."


    After Phillips scored a goal, he cheered the fans and hugged his teammates. Aldridge saw this scene off the court and only smiled on the seat.


    With Millwall''s success this season, his tactical system has also become the focus of British attention.


    One of its outstanding features is the speed of the counterattack, so fast that it is even the sprint race where the commentator often hangs on his lips.


    Because Beckham left before the plan, Aldridge has officially launched the 433 formation when using the second lineup, and the role of Glenshar and Solskjaer as a winger has also attracted widespread attention.


    In the past, the wing forwards who flew together on the wings were more abundant on the offensive side, delivering shells for the front line, and played the role of "guard" in defense. While the three forwards of Aldridge, the two wingers are subverting the traditional wingers. With the wing forward, it can be said that in this tactical system, Aldridge''s two wingers combined the functions of the wing forward and the modern wing inner, more versatile, and formed the first defense line in defense.


    But whether such a play can be tested in the Premier League is also one of the reasons why the outside world expects Millwall next season.


    Svenden coach turned a sullen face, anxiously agitated players on the sidelines to cheer.


    Aldrich was calm and calm. The opponent''s blind offensive attack only blossomed, and even if there was a number advantage, it would only let them underestimate the enemy. There was no way to disrupt the fist, and it was too naive to want to break Millwall.


    Disastrously lost 100 goals in the Premier League last season. Svenden¡¯s defense has not improved this season. He averaged about 1.1 goals per game. However, he lost almost 80 goals in 45 league games. The stadium takes away victory by rushing and killing? It''s whimsical.


    With the first goal, Millwall''s counterattack became more and more handy, and Swindon was beaten in this game.


    In the 30th minute of the game, it was a counterattack. Solskjaer drove the ball and knocked back in the middle. Barak hit the ball into the goal with a long shot, Millwall 2: 0.


    Before the end of the first half, Solskjaer passed the opponent''s defender outside the penalty area and put the ball into the goal post.


    With a three-ball lead, at the beginning of the second half, Millwall blitz drove Swindon completely into the abyss of relegation.


    Vieira unexpectedly drove the attack and then inserted all the way into the penalty area to easily receive Phillips'' pass and extended the score to 4:0 for Millwall.


    The Lion''s Cave Stadium turned into a sea of ??joy.


    The game has lost its suspense, and Millwall will surely draw the perfect end to the final of this season, but what is unexpected is that there will be hot pictures in the next game!


    After an offensive coordination error, Svenden''s two strikers had internal strife, and Robbie Gates became the protagonist again!


    The two teammates went from verbal abuse to chattering quarrels, and then they played directly with each other on the court!


    Richards, who was closest to the incident, walked over and hurriedly pulled the two, trying to separate them.


    This scene made the fans in the stands also coax!


    Many people even burst into tears!


    "My God! What is Svenden doing? Relegated from the Premier League last year, from the First Division this year, and now their players are on the court, and they are among teammates! What is ironic is that Richard Millwall''s Richard I¡¯m actually persuading! This must be the most subversive picture of the League One this season, this game is really full of drama!"


    Because of this conflict, the game was suspended for nearly ten minutes. With the joint efforts of the players of the two teams, it was difficult to separate the two players who caused the accident. After they calmed down, the referee did not hesitate to show them a red card to both of them. After being sent off, Millwall vs Swindon, 10 people vs. 9 people, the score is 4:0.


    For the rest of the day, Swindon had no desire to fight, but Millwall¡¯s young players were still unsatisfied. After eight minutes of stoppage time, and the referee whistled in advance, the scoreboard on the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium showed a **** blood. The score: 8:0.


    "Congratulations to Millwall, this worthy young team will play in the Premier League next year. Will they copy the trajectory of Nottingham Forest? It may be difficult, but after all it will make us look forward to it."


    After the game, Aldridge became the focus. Before walking back to the player''s passage, he was closely followed by several television cameras. He smiled and reached out and tapped on the camera, confidently said to the camera: " Hey, Premier League, Millwall is here!"

 Chapter 59： Planning for the future

    In the 46th round of the Premier League, they only waited for four teams to catch a match and then decided a play-off champion to board the Premier League. On the night after the league ended, Aldridge called in the team training hotel All players.


    In the tactical conference room with a serious atmosphere, Aldridge and the coaching staff colleagues, the suit and leather face easily talked and laughed.


    The players who come one after another have different clothes. After all, in the summer, everyone wears casual clothes. Only older players like Southgate and Nedved will wear more formal clothes.


    Except for Fanny and Luca Tony who played very few games last season, most of the other players are integrated into the life of Millwall Club and can truly consider themselves as a part of it.


    When the players were all seated in the conference room, Aldridge pressed his hands down and the scene immediately became quiet. The players stared at Aldridge with a smile. A season passed, and even they themselves felt incredible. In Mill Wall will be so happy.


    Playing football, winning is the source of happiness. At the same time, self-improvement also represents a rise in career. With their current income level, it can¡¯t be said that it is a superstar, but overall it is 20% higher than ordinary top league players. Above.


    "I was going to make a season summary at today''s meeting, but for now, it is not necessary at all. We won the championship. This is the reward we have worked hard for the past season, isn''t it?"


    Aldrich said nothing, and applause and cheers rang from the audience.


    "You must be in a hurry to go on vacation, haha, me too, so I will make a long story short. First, based on your performance last season, I and other coaches wrote a recommendation letter to the football association of your country, recommending you to enter the national team, Of course, many of you are still young, and it is also an honor to be able to enter the national echelon of the younger age group."


    Speaking of which, many young players under the stage have their eyes shining and are extremely happy.


    They did not expect that Aldridge would actually do this step.


    The club and the national team have always had many contradictions, but it cannot be said to be a hostile relationship. After all, the more internationals the club has, the greater the reputation of the club. However, the national team does not pay the players, but it brings The risk of player injury and fatigue.


    Aldrich did this, to put it bluntly to please the players. Next season, his team will be on the bigger stage of the Premier League. Instead of waiting for the players to be concerned by the national football associations, it is better for him to recommend himself and give players on this. Why don¡¯t you make a good impression, enhance your relationship, and push the boat along the river?


    On this, he is really not hypocritical. In the recommendation letters of many players, he wrote very detailed, including the player''s own characteristics and the role of different positions to adapt to the game tactics, plus game performance data and video highlights, etc. As for whether his recommendation letter will be taken seriously if he sends it to the national football associations, Aldridge doesn''t care. He does his duty to do his job.


    Aldridge then laughed: "Next season, I think we can challenge the championship trophy, but that''s too far away, you can go now, take your family for a pleasant holiday. Oh, yes , Larson, if you don¡¯t mind, the club¡¯s best player award will be sent to you by the club. Of course, if you are willing to stay in London for a few more days, you can be my companion."


    Larson shook his head with a smile. The award was selected by the English Professional Sports Football Association, and it was available in every level of the league. For other awards in England, Millwall was definitely missed.


    The players got up and walked out of the meeting room, some waved with Aldridge, some made a joke, some gave a warm hug, etc.


    After the players left, Aldridge turned to Jenson and said, "When are you leaving?"


    This summer, Aldridge still has to continue his career of digging the feet. In order to make the coaching staff of each echelon more fulfilling and implement his tactical philosophy, new coaches and coaches with rich offensive factors are essential.


    Jenson returned to Holland for a mission. He was going to Ajax to recruit a new group of coaches to Millwall.


    "The day after tomorrow, the club''s summer training is on July 18. I promise that the new coaches will report in the first week of July."


    "Okay, have a great holiday!"


    Aldrich shook hands with his coaching staff and said goodbye, then he walked alone to his office.


    Most of the other staff in the hotel were also on vacation, his footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, and Audridge thought while walking.


    The importance of coaching is self-evident. Especially in the football soil full of "test-oriented education" system in England, it is difficult for England to have the kind of talented players who shock the world, even if they are famous, but most of the players are young. Sometimes, after entering the first team, it gradually became mediocre.


    A big factor is England¡¯s training model and teaching philosophy. Even after ten years of the Premier League¡¯s dominance in the European arena, fans rarely see English players with distinctive characteristics. The genius boy reached the peak of his career, and most of them have been praised as "comprehensive" by the outside world. In fact, he can''t find top technical characteristics from these players, but the familiar stories are one after another.


    Aldrich doesn¡¯t like English coaches. He prefers to create Dutch coaches who can guide players to show their talents. Ten years and a hundred years of talent. Football coaches are the group of people who laid the team¡¯s tradition and genes. This is far more than the transfer market. Shanghuiyanzhuzhu is more important, otherwise, even if Aldridge can buy football genius, but eventually be taught as a mediocrity, it will be a great regret and pain.


    Pushing open the door of the office, Aldridge walked in.


    Two people sat across the desk, club CEO Adam and head of medical department Thompson.


    The two stood up one after another, and Aldridge waved his hand and said, "Both are acquaintances, there is no need to be polite. Today, you two are coming, there is something you need to cooperate to complete."


    Aldrich walked around the desk and sat down straight away: "Dr. Thompson, the discipline of sports medicine was only raised in the UK in the early 1990s. Medical talents in this area are definitely scarce, and now there are only five clubs. I don¡¯t think it¡¯s enough to get a doctor with a professional license.¡±


    Dr. Thompson, in his thirties, has a good look and has a scholarly style. He touched his glasses and said: "Sir, I want to know what is your basis? In the past season, the club¡¯s players have not appeared big. Injuries, and injured players have received the best treatment, recovery is always better than expected."


    Aldrich nodded and said after a moment of meditation: "Dr. Thompson, I am not a professional medical doctor. In the past, I have spent some time to understand this knowledge. If I am wrong, please correct me. "


    Thompson nodded. He respected the young boss opposite. His position in the club was much higher than his peers. In some other big clubs, sports medical doctors were rejected. Even if they were hired by the club, they had to work part-time. Work, such as luggage for players, placing sports equipment, etc., to put it bluntly, is actually the traditional club''s distrust of emerging science, especially many old and stubborn coaches, doctors put forward many professional medical explanations, the head coach simply does not understand, Aldridge respects Thompson¡¯s professional opinions. Thompson has had a great time in Millwall in the past season.


    Aldridge slowly said: "Doctors have been able to judge an athlete''s sport based on the injured part and injury of the athlete-if a person''s spine cannot be bent, he may be a snooker player, this It is caused by the long-term end post staying upright. After long training and competition, the ears of the wrestler swell like a fungus; the lumbar disc herniation is an occupational disease of the sand row players; the damaged retina has always plagued diving athletes and swimmers. Marfan syndrome, stress fractures of long-distance runners,''yellow heart disease'' of shooting athletes, dissociative obstacles of sumo wrestlers, cervical spondylitis of gymnasts, tenosynovitis of tennis players, if a person almost suffers from the above Of all the symptoms mentioned, he is probably a football player. Right?"


    Dr. Thompson''s eyes widened slightly, and nodded after a long silence.


    Football players have a high probability of injury, and injuries are difficult to predict. It can even be said that football has promoted the development of medical careers and let more people know that the meniscus, metatarsal bones, soleus muscles, and cruciate ligaments all grow in the human body What is the position; understand the toe fracture, groin strain, thigh tear, abdominal muscle spasm, calf muscle strain, knee ligament strain, hip injury, right (left) lateral spine muscle strain, etc. Encyclopedias can not fit the professional terminology.


    Aldrich asked calmly: "So many names of injuries that make the scalp numb. My question is simple. Can our medical department cope with these injuries completely? Can my players get the best medical treatment? Treatment?"


    Thompson''s face became dull, and he shook his head weakly.


    The division of modern medicine is getting more and more detailed, and one of them is an expert. Football players have almost every bone and every piece of meat all over the body, including the nerves, ligaments and so on. They can be injured in places where the eyes cannot be seen. A doctor is like taking care of all this, it is almost whimsical.


    Aldrich spread his hands lightly and said: "Look, that''s what I want to express. We must expand the scale of the medical department and do everything possible to avoid misdiagnosis and incorrect treatment in the future, to ensure that bad conditions occur. My players are healthy. So, I plan to recruit fifteen more sports medicine doctors."


    "Boss, this budget!"


    Adam immediately objected. He felt that Aldridge wanted to build a hospital for the club, which was a bit exaggerated.


    Aldrich turned his head to look at Adam and said softly: "Adam, do you know what a star''s worth will be in the future?"


    Adam shook his head.


    "I tell you that 10 million pounds in England can only be regarded as the transfer value of ordinary players. For real stars, the transfer value will be between 25 million pounds and 50 million pounds. So, I am not with you Discuss the importance of the medical department. From a commercial point of view, if a player is destroyed by an injury, we will lose tens of millions of pounds. If multiple players fall in front of the injury, then our The loss is astronomical! Hide your doubts about the player¡¯s worth in our hearts. Let¡¯s wait and see, time will give the answer."

 Chapter 60： Millwall is really rich!

    When the matter was over, Dr. Thompson got up and left, while Adam was still sitting still.


    "Adam, if it is still the topic just now, I''m not going to discuss it with you. Some money can be saved, and some money can''t be saved at all."


    Aldrich¡¯s position on the construction of the medical department will not be shaken by money, nor will he take a step back.


    Adam shook his head and said: "No, the boss, builder Roder, has come home every day since the day before yesterday, urging us to fulfill the new stadium contract. He claimed that if we delay further, we will sue us for breach of contract."


    Aldridge suddenly realized that he was leaning on the boss chair for a long while, and then took out a document from the drawer and handed it to Adam, saying: "This is a design book I asked Andrew to ask someone to do a few months ago. The land of the new stadium is used to build a youth training base, and when it is completed, it is listed as a youth college and named Leo."


    Adam took a look at the plan, which had a bird''s eye view, and other building facilities were marked except for the training site.


    He murmured: "Leo, Leo. Lion Youth Training Base? It is in line with Millwall''s tradition."


    After closing the plan, he raised his head and looked at Aldridge. He shook his head and said, "Boss, the original site was built for the stadium. The total project including the site is close to 20 million pounds. Now you say it will be converted into a youth training base. Engineering contractors certainly disagree. This obviously has no greater benefit than building a stadium. They will think it is a kind of perfunctory."


    Aldrich knew about the new stadium plan. Except for the Millwall club, the other projects were not paid, and the contract was signed, so the project has been delayed.


    It now appears that those contractors are in a hurry, and if they drag on, their profits will become less and less, and they will lose money if they fail to do so, because the costs are soaring over time.


    Aldridge took another document out of the drawer and handed it to Adam, saying: "This is a blueprint for the new stadium, which is not yet mature, but the approximate size will not change. You tell those contractors. Help us build a youth training base, and the new stadium, Millwall will definitely build it in the future, and it will be a larger project than the original plan. We can sign a contract with them first, and when we have the funds, continue to find them to cooperate. This way, they will make a lot of money."


    Adam took the file to open and surprised him again. The magnificent renderings are a modern stadium with a clear message: the capacity is 65,000 people.


    Adam thought of the balance of less than 20 million pounds in the club account. It is impossible to build such a stadium without 100 million pounds, and no one can tell the extent to which costs will rise in the future.


    Aldrich is the boss, and he doesn¡¯t need to hold a shareholders meeting to deal with the board of directors. Adam is also relatively easy to work. What the boss asks him to do is what he does.


    With two plans, Adam was gone. Before leaving, he reminded Audridge that according to Millwall¡¯s influence in East London, even if a stadium of more than 60,000 people is built, the attendance rate may be up to 50%. .


    Aldridge is not about to build a new stadium soon, just plan ahead.


    Finalizing the construction of the club''s coaching staff and medical system, Aldridge continued to stay in London. He was preparing to participate in the evening party organized by the English Football Coaches Association at the end of the season. After all, he was going to receive the award.


    In the new weekend, the news of the Premier League playoffs, Aldridge was not interested, but just followed up. Middlesbrough and Bolton reached the finals of the playoffs, and the Premier League finale staged a thrilling scene.


    Blackburn led an away game against Anfield in Dalglish. With a one-goal lead, Blackburn was reversed by the Reds before the end of the game. Liverpool did not deliberately release water to complete Dalglish, and Blackburn In Anfield anxiously awaiting the result of the Manchester United game, if Manchester United wins, the championship trophy will slip away from the fingers.


    The Red Devils ended up in East London to challenge the undesirable hammer gang. Ferguson¡¯s team failed to rewrite the 1:1 score within 90 minutes, watching the Premier League champions being taken by Blackburn. , And West Ham United up and down happily, blocking Manchester United''s championship, can not be said to be more excited than their own championship, but in the end is excited and unable to extricate themselves.


    The curtain fell on the Premier League, Blackburn historically won the Premier League championship, the hero coach Dalglish retreated quickly, and Blackburn boss Jack Walker said a famous saying after winning the championship: "This champion has let people find it on the map of the UK. Blackburn."


    Blackburn¡¯s Alan Shearer and Chris Sutton¡¯s ¡°SAS¡± striker¡¯s performance was impeccable this season. Shearer scored 34 goals to win the shooter king. Sutton also proved with 15 goals. Own value.


    And Manchester United obviously lost the league title because of a key battle front. The Manchester media lamented after the game. If they have Cantona, if they have a better forward, the little West Ham United, how can they stop it? Red Devils countdown to win the championship?


    In the FA Cup final, Manchester United lost to Everton. After dominating the Premier League for two consecutive years, the Red Devils are all empty this season!


    The Premier League is over, and the curtain on the European arena has also fallen.


    The Arsenal League dropped midway through the points standings, but the European arena sprinted, but in the final battle of the defending European Winners'' Cup, overtime lost to Zaragoza from La Liga and unfortunately won the runner-up.


    The Italian team continued its strong performance, Palmaho won the UEFA Cup, AC Milan also reached the Champions League final, but unfortunately lost to another young team: Ajax!


    When Ajax ascended to the throne of Europe, the world exclaimed the coming of the Ajax dynasty.


    Look at the lineup of this team.


    25-year-old van der Sar.


    Reziger, 22 years old.


    The 25-year-old Debord brothers.


    Seedorf, 19 years old.


    Davis, 22 years old.


    22-year-old Peter Pan Ovimas.


    Litmanen, 24 years old.


    ...


    People are speculating how long such an Ajax will rule European football, plus the Dutch players are regarded as a reliable guarantee for the transfer market''s hard currency, Ajax''s continuous excellent blood-making ability, Ajax The era of the dynasty seems inevitable.


    Rome was not built in a day, but ruining Rome was enough for a day.


    Ajax absolutely can''t think of it, just a year later, their dynasty foundations fell apart, Bosman''s rule ended the closed era of the European football transfer market, and the era of the surge of player circulation is coming.


    At the dinner of the English Football Coaches Association, Aldridge appeared in a stylish suit and leather shoes. Before the awards began, Odridge received the most interviews than other coaches in the league.


    Among them, Richard of the "Daily Mail" is chasing him in desperation, and is about to ask for the goal of summer recruitment. Thomson of the "Sun" asked many questions outside the topic, such as A paparazzi found out that he and young beautiful girls were dating together on the street, and when the club''s new stadium plan was put on hold.


    It was one of the problems that surprised Aldridge.


    "Mr. Hall, Millwall''s outstanding performance last season also earned you a nickname: Coach Killer. What do you think about this?"


    "Coach killer? What do you mean?"


    "According to statistics, last season you led a team against 28 different head coaches, and after fighting with you, four head coaches were out of class, namely Derby County, Waterford, Arsenal, and Swindon. The coach of the team."


    Aldridge laughed dumbly.


    Derby County had an unfavorable start and suffered a massive defeat at the Lion''s Cave Stadium. The team coach was fired.


    Watford was completely out of the playoffs after the end of the season with Millwall, and the coach was fired.


    Arsenal has nothing to do with the record. Although Aldridge¡¯s Millwall made Arsenal stop the third round of the FA Cup, if George Graham was not due to the black gold scandal, I am afraid that he would not be out of class. It is a coincidence. After all, Graham was also banned from coaching the team for a year.


    Swindon was downgraded by two consecutive levels plus the scandal of conflict within the team in the final round. The coach was blamed for nothing.


    Aldridge got a "coach killer" bandit, making him cry and laugh.


    After a low profile that everything was just accidental, Aldridge walked into the banquet hall.


    He was not the focus, but it was the focus because of the approach of an old man.


    Ferguson leaned in with a dark face. Aldrich was slightly helpless. It was Dalglish who snatched your championship. No, it should be said that Manchester United did not fight for their own. In the end, they won the championship and lost the championship. Is there anything to blame?


    But Ferguson''s black face was placed in front of Aldridge.


    "Look at them, bullshit."


    Ferguson glanced at Dalglish, who was like a moon in the stars, and Kevin Keegan, who was also of Liverpool descent, was mixed in the middle.


    Aldridge touched his nose and held back his smile.


    If the championship trophy is in your arms, there will not be a lack of flattery around you.


    Ferguson pulled Aldridge aside and opened the door straight away: "Larsen, open a price, Aldridge, I always treat you as a friend."


    "How much can Manchester United produce?"


    Aldridge did not refuse.


    Ferguson''s eyes lit up. The Red Devils will change blood this summer, and the transfer fee is not a big problem. He has already prepared to sell Mark Hughes, Paul Ince, Kanchelski and others.


    "Five million pounds. You earn almost four million pounds in a year, and it''s time to meet. After all, Larson hasn''t passed the Premier League test."


    Aldridge waved his hand: "I''m not talking about transfer fees, it''s weekly salary. How much pounds can Manchester United give Larson?"


    Ferguson stunned slightly, squinting for a few seconds and said, "Ten thousand pounds."


    Aldridge shrugged: "Then you should be able to persuade Larson to join in a salary cut."


    "Huh? How much did he earn at Millwall?"


    "The top salary in the team is ¡ê15,000."


    Ferguson''s eyes widened unbelievably: "You are crazy!"


    Who has the highest salary in Manchester United?


    Cantona, a weekly salary of 20,000 pounds.


    Then next, Schmeichel, 18 thousand, and then the next grade is 13 thousand, young players like Beckham, Scholes, Giggs, etc., did not exceed 4,000 pounds at all, and Roy Keane, Andy Cole, bought for a large price, but only a weekly salary of 10,000 pounds.


    It''s not that Manchester United can''t afford Larson a contract of 15,000 or higher, but the team''s status and salary have always been linked. If Larson can get 15,000 at Manchester United, this will inevitably break the wage balance. It''s not just one or two players who are going to raise their salary.


    Ferguson understood that, Aldridge never rejected him, but directly blocked the possibility of transfer.


    He was a little confused. Who was he and him, the handsome young man in front of him?


    "Aldrich, can you tell me, Millwall''s salary budget for next season?"


    Aldridge smiled slightly: "I will tell you the specific number directly. Next season, the salary of the team should be between 10 million pounds and 15 million pounds."


    Ferguson''s eyes widened, such a level of spending, even the top teams in the Premier League can not be compared.


    "How many players in your team earn more than 10,000 weekly salary?"


    "Not many, almost the main lineup is more than 10,000 pounds."


    "Millwall is really rich! Can you make ¡ê10 million a season?"


    "I don''t know. Last season''s net income was probably less than 10 million pounds. It should be more this season. Alas, this season is definitely losing money. It doesn''t matter. I don''t care."


    Ferguson played a retreat, he really did not just fall in love with Larson, several players want to pack and receive Manchester United, but unfortunately the salary is too high, if Manchester United, as a giant, asks players to reduce their wages to join, this is too shameful Too.


    However, he felt a little disappointed with Aldridge in his heart, according to the opponent''s approach, the club will sooner or later collapse!

 Chapter 61： Digging and kicking

    At the dinner of the English Football Coaches Association, Aldridge received the award for the best coach of the Premier League season, which is the most coquettish person in the entire evening after Nottingham Forest coach Frank Clark.


    Nottingham Forest was promoted to the Premier League last season, and under the leadership of Frank Clark, a Brian Crawford disciple, won the second season. It is another small miracle in Nottingham Forest.


    In the course of the party, Aldridge also had a brief exchange with several Premier League coaches. In fact, many Premier League clubs want to introduce players from Millwall, so let¡¯s explore Aldridge¡¯s tone first. As far as the rich team is concerned, Aldrich directly declares that any player on the team is not for sale.


    When the season ended completely, Middlesbrough successfully got the last Premier League ticket, and the season was completely declared over.


    Aldridge started the operation of the summer transfer market.


    The sponsors were handed over to Adam to talk about, the sponsorship of the Barack Bank, the sponsorship of Puma, and the on-court advertising, etc., which are expected to bring about three million pounds of valuable income for the team at the beginning of the season.


    Early in the morning, after having breakfast, Aldridge called Andrew at home and asked him to meet at the intersection.


    At ten in the morning, a white BMW was parked on the street. Aldridge saw Andrew sitting in the driver''s seat, and in the co-pilot''s seat was a beautiful girl in a thin dress. He didn''t know and hit with a smile. Hello.


    "Ah... what are you doing with me this morning?"


    Andrew was dressed casually, his shirts were not tucked into his trousers, he pulled out his cigarette after getting out of the car, ordered one by the door, and then handed one to Aldridge.


    Aldridge lit a cigarette and smiled: "It was originally something for you to help you. It seems that you are very busy. Forget it, you can introduce an assistant in the company to help me. One or two in the future In a few months, I may have to go abroad, but I will run around in the country first. In short, I need intelligence personnel."


    After vomiting a smoke ring, Andrew turned his head toward the car and said, "Baby, please get off the car and go home. I will be busy."


    "Huh? Isn''t it good to go on holiday in France?"


    "Good boy, I want to work. You can go home first. You can go whenever you go on vacation."


    "Andrew! Your promise is shit!"


    "Oh, maybe, you drive away, yes, don''t contact me again, bye."


    Faced with the irritable beauty, Andrew didn''t have the demeanor at all. He wrapped Aldridge''s shoulder directly and walked forward. He took the phone from his pocket and asked someone to drive another car.


    Aldridge laughed dumbly and asked, "Is this blowing?"


    Andrew squatted on the side of the road and smoked, casually saying: "Well, blowing, she thought she was a princess, I can only apologize, and her prince will not accommodate me."


    Aldridge somewhat admired the second brother, although a dude''s work on weekdays, but always have a clear priority.


    Thinking that he just needed some intelligence information and did not need Andrew to accompany him throughout the journey, he crouched down beside the road and said, "You don''t really need to go with me on vacation."


    Andrew flicked the cigarette **** in his hand and turned his head and laughed: "What a joke, our family''s money is not blown by the wind. I don''t care about the money-making thing. What do I mean when I live? What do you mean by finding me? , Right? I¡¯m going together as the boss of the brokerage company. This is sincerity, and money won¡¯t take the initiative to walk into my pocket."


    Aldridge smiled and nodded, "OK, let''s go together."


    Soon after, Andrew¡¯s assistant drove an Audi and stopped by the roadside. Andrew took a tie from his assistant and tied it around his neck. Then he loosened the belt on the side of the street to tuck the shirt in and lost his hair. Less than three minutes after walking on the tires of the car, the handsome guy with impeccable clothing pulled in the car door and sat in. The renewed speed made Aldridge an eye-opener.


    "Speak, where to go?"


    "Help me check the information of four people in your company''s information library, Joseph Peel John Cole, Ashley Cole, Rio Ferdinand, Frank Lampard."


    After Aldridge finished speaking, he looked out the window and waited quietly.


    Andrew picked up his mobile phone and called back to the company. The intelligence information was kept in the company and was updated regularly. The scouts in his company were no less than those in top clubs, no, or more like his company. detective.


    Every year in England, there are geniuses who are clamored by the media, but there are not many geniuses who can finally get on the big stage. The first name mentioned by Aldridge is one. Perhaps it is better to call another louder name for future generations: Joe ¡¤ Cole.


    Joe Cole is a genius, and the football talent revealed from the small exhibition can attract the attention of all parties.


    Aldridge can only get a lot of chips now, it is nothing more than money, but for many players, it is a temptation in itself. There are not many people who can resist the temptation of money in this world, and most of them are only money. How much.


    Andrew put down the phone and Mo said that all four of them were in London. Even in other places, he could find out what happened. After all, it was his potential customer.


    "Neither Cole has joined any clubs yet. As for Ferdinand and Lampard, it''s a bit troublesome. The latest news I got is that this summer, West Ham United is ready to give them an adult team contract."


    Aldridge thought for a moment with his eyes closed, and said in a deep voice: "Then find them both first, it''s interesting, why don''t you dig a foot from a dead enemy? How much weekly salary will West Ham United give them?"


    "Struck ¡ê600, or ¡ê60."


    "I give 3000."


    "Haha, you''re going to be an idiot with a lot of money!"


    "Time will tell who is a fool."


    Andrew drove Aldridge straight to Leo Ferdinand''s house.


    Aldrich came to the door personally. He didn''t think it was a self-degrading identity. Some transfers required the head coach to come in to impress the players.


    At that time, the Manchester City manager was waiting for Giggs to sign the contract in the office. As a result, he didn¡¯t see anyone until dark. When asked about the next day, Manchester United manager Ferguson went to visit Giggs and directly poached the two decades of football in England. Tianzun Zuo...


    On the three-point acre of London, Aldridge obviously has a lot of fame. First, he is the most glaring Premier League coach last season. Second, Millwall will be in the Premier League next season. The media naturally Will warm up in advance, the news about him and Millwall, for the people in the football circle, has long gone.


    Therefore, Aldrich and Andrew came to visit Ferdinand together, which attracted the attention of the Ferdinand family. Even his relatives came. Aldrich impressed Ferdinand with his sincerity and weekly salary in the contract.


    Frank Lampard¡¯s transfer was a little more complicated because his father held a position at the West Ham United club, but the relationship with the club was not good, so Aldridge also promised Old Lampard a The Millwall club''s position then took away Lampard with their high weekly salary.


    The West Ham United, which was originally planning to give Lampard and Ferdinand a contract in July, was annoyed to find that their Star of Hope was tempted away by a high salary by their rival enemy Millwall.


    The turmoil of the youth army caused by Millwall last season is the biggest attraction for Aldridge to be able to check in players. Perhaps he has not achieved any achievements in the Premier League, but in terms of training young players, every young player on his team The players seem to have great potential, and they have performed amazingly under his hands.


    When the night fell, Aldridge and Andrew drove to the suburbs. The two ate junk fast food, drank beer, and talked by the Audi car. On this day, Aldridge checked in for the club. Four young players.


    Although Joe Cole is only 13 years old, Ashley Cole is only 15 years old.


    But Lampard and Ferdinand are already 17 years old, and they are definitely good pawns for two or three years.


    The success of the first day made Aldridge feel confident, but the next day he and Andrew went to Merseyside in northwest England, but encountered a series of collisions.


    Manchester United have 92 classes, and Liverpool, also a traditional English giant, also has 96 classes, and the most dazzling among these 96 classes are the three players.


    Aldridge encountered a rejection at Carragher''s house one morning, and was sent off directly by Owen''s parents.


    With only one Gerald left, Aldridge met the future Red Army soul in the cafe.


    The young and slightly green Gerald was wearing casual clothes. Although he pretended to be an old-fashioned look, his eyes turned around to sell out the quirky elves in his heart.


    "Reject? Why? Steven, do you have any dissatisfaction you can raise, weekly salary? Two thousand is too small, I can give two thousand five. If you are worried about accommodation, the club can provide apartments..."


    "Uh, sir, thank you for your kindness, but I don''t want to sign with a team other than Liverpool."


    Gerald lowered his head slightly evasively.


    Aldrich scratched his head and asked strangely: "Well? Then why did you go to other clubs for trial training? You agreed to meet me again? You can refuse me directly on the phone."


    Aldridge had great expectations before coming, especially when I heard that Gerald was looking for club training everywhere, but no club could sign him. Aldridge thought everyone else was blind and could not see This is a gem.


    Gerrard whispered a little apologetically: "That''s it, I want to put pressure on the Liverpool club in this way to let them contract me as soon as possible."


    Aldridge was dumbfounded.


    Oh shit!


    I was fooled by this kid!


    He was also used as a stepping stone!


    Needless to say, the news of Millwall digging Gerald will soon be spread. Even if no reporter finds out, Gerald will shout to the outside, so that he can pass into the ears of Liverpool Club.


    Aldrich left Merseyside in a humble mood, and the cause of digging the wall was hit hard.


    On the way back to London, Aldridge smiled bitterly in his heart. He should have realized this long ago. Where are the giant stars of hope, so easy to dig? Why are the brave soldiers who are rooted in Miaohong go wandering outside?


    Only West Ham United, a team that neither pursues nor has any heritage, can easily **** players away. Think of Paul Ince...


    After Aldridge lamented, he regained his spirit and continued to dig a corner according to his own plan. It is not only the giants who have good seedlings, but the big waves, and we know better than others where there is gold.

 Chapter 62： Pick the gourd in advance

    Before Aldridge was ready to leave for Spain, he finalized a transfer in London.


    The offer of ¡ê200,000 last season in the Premier League relegation team Norwich''s young player Danny Mills.


    After bargaining, the final price was fixed at 300,000 pounds.


    Danny Mills is 19 years old and can play at the center and right backs. In order to increase the thickness of the team bench, Aldridge must ensure that there are two or three players in the same position, like Lucas Neal, These 18-year-old players like Zambrotta can¡¯t expect them to work full season, not because they can¡¯t do it, but they will exhaust them and seriously affect their future development, and healthy competition will also help them not to They will be complacent because they have become the main force early, and maintaining a sense of crisis can sound the alarm for them.


    In the windy and beautiful Spain, Aldrich and Andrew came to Spain together and split their troops. He came to Tuilia, a small town in the city of Greo.


    In an unprosperous neighborhood, Aldridge in a suit and leather shoes and a pair of sunglasses is very eye-catching. He travels according to the address of the note in his hand like a map. The closer to the destination, Aldridge finds the buildings around him. The landscape is getting closer to the slums. Of course, this is a portrayal of the contrast between the rich and the poor. Compared with the neat and clean buildings and beautiful neighborhoods, even if it is not the lowest income group in the neighborhood, I am afraid that there is no word for abundance. .


    Before coming to a bungalow, Aldridge took off his sunglasses and took a closer look at the small house. He sighed and said in secret: Many football players with high incomes in the future, but their family life before becoming famous Strained.


    It was this opportunity that gave Aldrich the opportunity to take advantage. He sometimes asked himself whether it was mean to do so, but he could not always convince himself to give up.


    Obviously have the opportunity to dig a golden mountain, who cares about the eyes of others?


    Moreover, he is not an unscrupulous businessman, he can feel at ease.


    After finishing some clothes, Aldridge knocked on the door of the house.


    "you are?"


    It was a middle-aged man who opened the door, not to mention sloppy, but with obvious color.


    Aldridge took out his business card and handed it to the other party, smiling in Spanish: "Hello, my name is Aldridge Hall. I am from London. I am a football club owner and head coach. I treat your son Very interested, I hope he can join my team."


    The middle-aged man was shocked, and the hand holding the business card shivered slightly. It was incredible: "David? David is only 14 years old. How much money will you give him for the contract?"


    In many parts of the world, Africa, South America, and even Europe, playing football is the way to change the destiny of families in the bottom society. If you can play professional football and become a star, it will be enough to change the shabbyness of the entire family and even the family. Wen''s genius, before being covered by a spotlight lantern, did not have the guts to bargain. Whoever gave more money would play football.


    Aldridge walked into the narrow house and sat on the creaking single sofa.


    At this time, a pair of mother and son also appeared in the living room. A 14-year-old boy stood in front of his mother, his mother''s hands around his neck, as if afraid of being robbed of his flesh.


    Aldridge smiled and looked at the young man, convinced that he had not found the wrong person. He turned to the middle-aged man and said, "His name is David Villa Sanchez, right?"


    The middle-aged man nodded and turned back to beckon his son. As a miner''s father, he was very nervous. He asked Villa to say hello to Audridge.


    Villa opened his mouth and didn''t seem to know how to call Audridge. He could only say hello in the end.


    Aldrich reached out to tell Villa to sit down and chat together. Villa turned his head and looked at his father. When he saw his father nod, he sat down next to his father.


    Aldrich took a stack of documents from his briefcase and handed it to Villa and his son. Sincerely said: "My club is called Millwall, maybe you have never heard of this team before, this is the team The brief introduction inside, by the way, next season, my team will play in the English Premier League."


    Villa and his father glanced at the documents in hand, most of which were the introduction of club facilities with illustrations, including the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium, the club training venue, internal equipment, and some statistics of last season''s games.


    Villa took it very seriously, his eyes full of longing, and his father was a little bit interested, he said in a deep voice: "Sir, even if what you say is true, but we can''t hand over the child like this You, let you take him out of Spain to strange London."


    Aldrich nodded and said frankly: "I don¡¯t think David should live separately from his parents at his current age, so the club can provide free apartments for your family. In addition, if you don¡¯t dislike, the club The community you own will provide jobs."


    A gift from Barnett to Aldridge half a year ago came in handy. Aldridge can provide apartments for free, and supermarkets and bars in the community can also provide jobs for families moving to England. Of course This is all for families with financial difficulties. East London is already the area with the most immigrants, so there is no question of whether it can adapt or be out of tune.


    Villa''s father is a miner, and his work income is not high, and the work is dangerous. After he heard Aldridge put forward such attractive conditions, he was already a little moved.


    "David has an unparalleled talent for football. I hope he can join Millwall''s youth academy and get the best guidance and care to ensure that he grows up healthily. When he grows up, he will become an important part of Millwall. "


    "Apprentice?"


    "I know that your family has some difficulties. It doesn''t matter. If David is willing to come to Millwall, I can give him a contract of two thousand pounds a week. When he enters the adult team, I believe his treatment will be improved even more. "


    "Two thousand pounds?!"


    The family of three have their eyes widened. Even after the tax deduction, there are more than 4,000 pounds a month, and the British standard of relief at this time is only less than 500 pounds a month, which is enough to make them better in London. Life, especially on the basis of having free apartments.


    Villa''s father did not promise, but said: "Let us consider."


    The pie that fell from the sky was a bit big and made him dizzy.


    Aldridge was not in a hurry. He pulled out an envelope from the briefcase and placed it on the table. Before leaving, he said: "If you decide, you can call me at any time, or you can come to London to have a look. "


    After Aldridge left, Villa opened the envelope on the table, which contained a thousand pounds, and three tickets to and from Spain to London.


    On the way out of the town, Aldridge''s phone rang and he heard Andrew''s voice after he answered it.


    "Both players are done. Elgra''s uncle is with me. I talked to him about the treatment and it was finalized. The same is true for Capdevila."


    "Well, okay, at that stop, go to Italy."


    Neither 20-year-old Ivan Elgra nor 17-year-old Joan Capdevila have signed a formal contract with any team, getting these two players without having to spend a penny on the club''s transfer fee.


    The former is the absolute main force of the first phase of the famous Galaxy Battleship, which can hit the defender and the midfielder. The latter is the only non-Barcelona Real Madrid player to win the Spanish championship in the 10th World Cup and serves as the left back.


    Two days later, the Italian capital of Rome.


    In the cafe, a man in his thirties is reading the Roman Gazette, drinking a sip of coffee from time to time, a relaxed look.


    Aldrich and Andrew walked into the cafe. After searching, Aldridge saw the man in the T-shirt, and walked calmly to say hello in Italian. The other person closed the newspaper and reached out. , Aldridge and Andrew sat opposite him.


    "Alberto de Rossi. Mr. Aldrich Hall, Mr. Andrew Hall, hello."


    The man reached down and shook hands with the two guests one by one, and then beckoned to the teenager who was opening the football magazine at the end of the cafe, and whispered: "Daniele."


    The teenager who looked exactly like his father put down the magazine and walked to his father to sit down.


    Aldrich looked at De Rossi, who was only 13 years old, and then looked back at Alberto De Rossi. He solemnly said: "Mr. De Rossi, I know you are The Roma team has extraordinary feelings, and I also know that you will spare no effort to train your son to be a member of the Roma team. Before I invite you, I will not deny two points. First, Daniele Talent, second, his stay in the city of Rome in the future will contribute to the Roma team."


    Alberto De Rossi has reached the age of retirement, but he is still playing for the Roma team, and he is very sure that the future of De Rossi Jr. should also be in Rome.


    Old De Rossi nodded frankly: "Yes, so, I don''t think this meeting will have a satisfactory result for both parties. I am skeptical of English football. If I send my son to Millwall, it may be ruined. Got him."


    This old De Rossi is really outspoken. There is no mention of Italian football in his speech, but he is in contempt for the football environment outside Italy.


    Aldridge said after a moment of silence: "In my team, there are now four young players from Italy."


    Old De Rossi raised the "Roman Sports" in his hand and joked: "The whole Italy knows, and you also recommend those players to enter the Italian youth team, hehe."


    After he finished, he flipped the newspaper and the page titled "Where is Millwall?" The page reflected in Audridge''s eyes.

 Chapter 63： The only Pirlo

    In the lonely summer of 1995, the bureaucratic atmosphere of the Football Association was also uneasy. After receiving the recommendation letter from Audridge, the Italian Football Association not only sneered, but even leaked it to the media, leaking Millwall¡¯s recommendation letter intact. As a talk of entertainment and entertainment throughout Italy.


    Aldrich finished reading the news published in the "Roman Sports", and there are many Italian ball critics who have degraded and ridiculed England''s unknown club.


    In fact, the young echelons of the national teams of various countries have always been selected from the domestic. This is understandable. After all, the scope of the coach¡¯s investigation of players is not as large as that of the entire Europe and the world. It is logical for players who are prominent in the domestic youth league to be selected into the national team. .


    Aldridge is also dubbed the ball blindness in Italy.


    They think that Aldridge has never seen Italian football at all, that he thinks that he has a few Italian players in his hand and thinks that he is talented. He also admires these players to enter the national team, which is ridiculous.


    After reading the report, Aldridge put down the newspaper and said unchanged, "Mr. De Rossi, you must have not watched the Millwall game, and not many people have seen it in Italy. You think I am arrogant and think My fuss about football talents, I don¡¯t care, the Italian league is the world¡¯s first league today, and I don¡¯t deny it, but it does not mean that Europe is still ruled by Italy ten years later, please forgive my honesty: in my team Not only the backbone of the Italian national team in the future, but also the future European champion and world champion. I think we can¡¯t reach an agreement today, but my sincerity will not diminish, and the door of Millwall is always ready to Daniele Dero West is open, and finally I just want to say one thing: Daniele stays in Rome, he can become a loyal star, but he came to Millwall, I believe that the day he retires, the championship trophy will be countless, because I am Work hard with this goal. Bye."


    After talking, Aldridge and Andrew got up and left. The old Drossy who watched the two leave suddenly looked dignified, looking at his son thoughtfully.


    Walking out of the cafe, Andrew scratched his head: "How are you talking? It feels like the talk is falling apart."


    He didn''t understand Italian, and the whole process was just confused.


    Aldrich casually said: "It doesn''t mean that there is no talk, because there is no room for negotiation at the beginning. It doesn''t matter. De Rossi is only 13 years old. I firmly believe that before he is 18, Millwall will definitely be more than Rome. Attractive place."


    "Now go to Brescia?"


    "Ok."


    Before going to Brescia, the Millwall Club has submitted a transfer intention of up to 1 million pounds to the opposing club: the acquisition of Brescia''s 16-year-old Andrea Pirlo.


    At this time, Pirlo only played once on behalf of Brescia at the end of last season, and did not attract the attention of Italian giants.


    The transfer intention of 1 million pounds was finally fixed at the transaction price of 1.5 million pounds. While discussing personal treatment with Pirlo, Aldridge planned to come in person.


    There is a very important factor: Pirlo is a rich second generation, it is difficult to impress him only with the amount of money in the contract.


    Even though Aldridge''s team already has many offensive and defensive midfielders, he still lacks the most critical piece of the tactical system: the master-level organizational midfielder!


    Although Nedved also has a good organizational ability, but he also has the characteristics of rapid breakthrough, in terms of the overall situation, Audridge needs a commander in the midfield, so his midfield attack system, both The penetration of the pass torn off the defense line, and the sharp knife that breaks through the defensive chain, can open the bow left and right in the offensive mode.


    In Brescia, Aldridge met Pirlo. The 16-year-old rich second generation seemed a bit dazed. He just signed with the team last year, which was suddenly sold. It is difficult for him to be rich. The importance of 1.5 million pounds for a small team.


    Pirlo, who was from the merchant family, was obviously used to the big scene. He faced Aldridge and Andrew alone, without showing any stage fright, and he was unpretentious.


    "Andrea, is it okay to call you this way? Well, yes, may I ask, have you heard of Millwall?"


    Pirlo shook his head frankly, and then added: "I have seen some news about Millwall in the newspaper these days. I know that it is a club in London, and it does not seem to belong to the Premier League level."


    "No, we won the first division championship last season, and in two months, Millwall will usher in the Premier League. Andrea, I first want you to understand, what kind of club is it? You are interested and hope to send you the account."


    Aldrich did not despise Pirlo because of the age gap. In the football world, there is no age gap. Whether it is a player or a coach, strength is everything.


    Pirlo nodded and nodded to indicate that Aldridge could go on.


    What kind of idea he has in his heart, Aldridge has no way of knowing, but he wants to show 100% sincerity.


    "This is a list of players in my team, including their information and last season''s performance data. I joined Millwall last season and have two positions as boss and head coach. So, first of all, Milworth Will be a stable club for a long time to come, and the team will not have a negative impact on the team due to management turbulence and the change of the coaching staff. This is the basis for my long-term development of a club. Second, Mill Wall is an ambitious club, we will not be satisfied with long-term expectations to survive in the Premier League, I want to make the team the best team in England, after conquering England, then Europe! And, to the entire European stadium Long-term reign! If you want to quantify this ambitious goal, then I can interpret it as: Real Madrid, which surpassed five consecutive championships, Liverpool, the four-time king in seven years, and I want Millwall to become the European football in the fastest time The altar is well-deserved king. Yes, Millwall has no heritage, no history, the past 100 years are blank, boring, and even unbearable, but those are just good news for me, so that I can create An era that belongs entirely to me and does not need to compare with others, Andrea, I hope you will be a part of Millwall and leave you a glorious figure in this history."


    Inspiring was the result of Aldridge. Pirlo''s dogmatic Italian football is clearly unfamiliar with this kind of passionate speech, but he obviously has a great impact on his mind.


    He froze for a moment, and then lowered his head to open the documents in his hand, he had a strong impression of the swearing Audridge, at least, Millwall was really young.


    He paid special attention to the Italian players in the team. In addition to Luca Tony, Gattuso, Materazzi and Zambrotta have more than a dozen or more than 20 appearances. The coach of each game Group ratings and reviews are also terribly simple and detailed.


    Pirlo is not disgusted with playing football abroad. In fact, he is also a bit rebellious, even though he is a rich second generation, but his family has always opposed him to playing football for a living.


    "Andrea, let''s talk about you. What do you expect from your future position and role on the football field?"


    Aldrich saw Pirlo silent, so he provoked a topic.


    Pirlo frowned slightly: "It''s true, in Brescia, the coaches say I have the potential to be the next Baggio."


    Aldridge nodded with a smile. In fact, Baggio¡¯s characteristics can be divided into two parts to classify. Baggio before 95 years is faster than sharp, the position is erratic and dazzling, Baggio after 95 years increases with age Big and slow, but the overall situation is stronger, and football wisdom is reflected in organizational skills.


    Aldridge took out his tactical notebook from his briefcase, circled a front waist on a simple football field frame, and said, "This is where you play in the club?"


    Pirlo nodded.


    "Have you encountered any problems?"


    Pirlo hesitated for a moment and whispered: "The coaches said that I can become Baggio, but I simply can''t do his dribbling breakthrough like no one else. The closer to the penalty area, I sometimes feel confused, more The focus is on how to get rid of guard defense."


    Aldrich nodded and said: "Yes, Andrea, you can''t be the second Baggio, it''s never possible. Its own characteristics are the biggest obstacles that restrict you from copying Baggio. change."


    Pirlo''s eyes were a bit bleak. In fact, he had self-knowledge, but only Baggio''s speed, he could not reach it, let alone the speed of the combination of human and ball.


    "However, you can be the only Pirlo! You are not the second Baggio, you are you, Andrea Pirlo! You stay in Brescia and will only slowly rise in the front waist position, and I will Give you a bigger stage, maximize your characteristics, and let you do what you are best at on the court, and you can¡¯t do anything you can¡¯t do.¡±


    Aldrich''s eyes are sincere, and he can use his personality to pack tickets.


    Like many players on his team, those players quickly convinced him that Aldridge never forced them to do what they couldn''t.


    He will never let Stam think about the problem of playing under his feet on the back line, nor will he ask Marklele to take on more offensive tasks outside the defense. Schneider does not have the ability to score long-range shots Aldrich never blamed him, or let him improve, so that Schneider was drowned in physical confrontation in the penalty area.


    The talent characteristics of the player are there. How the coach combines players with different characteristics into a whole is the responsibility of the coach. It is enough to do the best within the player''s ability. This is enough. If it is beyond the player''s ability, if it is The coach insists on it. Then, we cannot blame the players for their inability, we can only blame the coach for his lack of vision and level.

 Chapter 64： The nuclear warhead is coming

    Aldrich had a deep conversation with Pirlo until the cafe was closed at night. Pirlo was finally persuaded by him and agreed to transfer to Millwall.


    After finalizing Pirlo¡¯s transfer, Odri? ended his trip to Italy. In fact, he has many goals for recruitment, but like Owen Gerrard, people simply can¡¯t look down on Millwall, mostly like Elgra. , Capdevila''s young players who are not from the "football club" will be moved by money and sincerity, just like Torres, who is now a child, even though Andrew has already contacted him in Madrid as an agent But when it comes to the future, Torres did not have the idea of ??leaving Madrid at all. The same is true of Harvey. This kind of obviously unintroducible player, Aldridge will not be stalked, where is the world without grass...


    But Aldridge''s summer signing is not over yet. He still needs a heavyweight striker in his plan, at least a super star striker who can fully mature in two to three years.


    Larson and Trezeguet are the team¡¯s main players, but Larsen has been targeted by Manchester United. Whether they can stay for a long time, Aldridge does not know, while Trezeguet, Aldridge has no confidence for a long time. Owned, there are only three years left from the 98 World Cup... By then, Thuram, Trezeguet, Vieira, Piret, who were your French champions, and now have changed their back to play, I wonder if they will still be Makelele who missed the World Cup.


    Fanny, the king of the small penalty area, does not yet know when he will "get it." Luca Tony''s limitations in the tactical system are somewhat greater. Solskjak''s role is better than the stabilization of the main force. Glenn Charles and Phillips Due to limited talents, you can''t rely on two people to complete the self-breakthrough by chance.


    Therefore, don''t look at the talents of the Aldridge team, and he is still tirelessly networking good seedlings. In fact, he does not know whether he will wake up overnight. The team''s main players collectively submit applications for transfer.


    At the last leg of the summer signing plan, Audridge and Andrew came to Kiev, Ukraine.


    Since the disintegration of Eastern Europe in the early 1990s, European countries, especially the British, will be very sensitive in the countries that came to the disintegration of the former Soviet Union in the first few years. In this area still covered by KGB, agents will pay attention if it is not good. In turn, he countered brainwashing and became a spy.


    So, after getting off the plane, Aldridge took a taxi with Andrew to the destination: Dynamo Kiev.


    Before he came, Aldridge''s transfer offer was delivered to Dynamo Kiev.


    1 million pounds for the purchase of Kiev Dynamo young player Shevchenko!


    Shevchenko, who is about to turn 19 in September, played 17 times in the Ukrainian League last season and scored 1 goal.


    The good news for Adrichli is that the legendary coach of Dynamo Kiev¡¯s ¡°Three Palaces¡± Valery Lobanovski has not returned to Dynamo Kiev for the third time.


    This coach has the magic of turning a stone into gold. Almost every time he re-directs Dynamo Kiev, he can create a group of golden generations. If it is not the semi-finals of the 1999 Champions League, it is regrettable to lose to Kahn, Matteus and Effingbo. Bayern Munich led by Georgia, then the final battle against Manchester United in the Champions League peak will be the generation of Dynamo Kiev.


    If he is on the team, Aldrich''s difficulty in buying Shevchenko will suddenly increase.


    And now, Aldrich knocked on Dynamo Kiev''s hands for only 1.8 million pounds.


    Among the Dynamo Kiev players, in addition to the nuclear warhead Sheva, who will be famous in the world, there will also be Karaze who will join San Siro in the future, and the unsuccessful British Rebrov and others.


    Aldridge is not interested in them, but he can only buy Sheva alone, because these people do not have the EU account book, Aldridge can only complete one operation to complete a similar operation last year''s transfer to Nedved, So in the face of such a multiple choice question, the answer does not need to be selected at all, it is Sheva.


    In the later history, Shevchenko moved to the Premier League, but returned home bleakly. Audric believes that there are many reasons, both players and clubs.


    A large part of player injuries are caused by overwork. After the outbreak of small injuries accumulated after long-term continuous combat, it will directly cause the decline of the player''s physique. Shevchenko and later Torres and Owen are similar. Yes, premature fame, excessive overdraft of the body in the first half of the career, including incomplete treatment and inappropriate factors, which will directly affect the player''s state and physical condition later.


    As for the club, the lack of patience with the famous star is one of them. Both fans and coaches need to be able to fight. Once the star fails to reflect his worth in the short term, criticism from outside will flood in, which will have a negative impact on the player''s psychology. To form a vicious circle.


    More importantly, Aldrich believes that the Chelsea system has laid down a clear three lines during Mourinho''s time: the defender line is more important than the midfielder than the front line.


    In such a tactical system, the striker is the least likely to achieve results, even for Warcraft Drogba, how many years did it take to get the Premier League golden boots? Even if Henry, who has won three consecutive Premier League golden boots in the same period, is placed in Chelsea, I am afraid that he may not be able to score more than 80 goals in three seasons.


    The ability of a player cannot be denied because a player cannot adapt to a specific tactical system. Aldridge will give patience to all the introduced players, let them have an adaptation process, and integrate the steps of the tactical system. They will never be too hasty or demand young. How players shine when they enter the team.


    Arriving at the Dynamo Kyiv Club, Aldridge and Andrew went directly to the conference room following the instructions of the club officials. After shaking hands with the club manager to say hello, soon, the young Shevchenko appeared in front of Aldridge. At the same time there is an equipped translator. Even though he is proficient in many languages, he can¡¯t understand Ukrainian.


    Shevchenko''s face was calm, but Aldridge could see a bit of excitement in his eyes.


    The status of Eastern European football on the European territory is deteriorating. With the disintegration of the Soviet Union, it also affected the decline of Eastern European football. In the same period, players wanting a larger stage, naturally land in the traditional five major leagues. As ambitious players, naturally not Will be satisfied to kick a lifetime in Ukraine.


    But Shevchenko yearned for the dream-filled Italy of this era, but not England.


    Shevchenko, who is a little stunned now, directly expressed his ideas through a translator.


    Brother wants to go to Italy, not England!


    Aldridge can only say bitterly to the translator: "Please tell him that playing in England will be more concerned than playing in Ukraine, especially now that the influence of the Premier League broadcast is gradually increasing. He can play first in England. The ball will be discovered by more Serie A teams after being famous, and if you stay in the UK for a few years, you can also get an EU passport. If you transfer to Serie A, you will have a greater advantage."


    The translator talked to Shevchenko for a long time, and then the translator told Aldrich: "He wants to know whether your team can stay in the Premier League for a long time. For his future, you as the team owner and head coach, What kind of plan do you have?"


    Speaking of his old business, Aldridge didn''t need to confuse the other party with conspiracy. He opened his mouth and talked to the translator for a long time.


    Then, Aldridge found that he had spoken for almost ten minutes, and the translation was transmitted in thirty seconds...


    He wanted to beat this translation, but when he saw Shevchenko''s look, there was a trembling look, and he resisted it again.


    "He is worried that his language problems will not fit into your team."


    "If he is going out of Ukraine, no matter which major league he is in, he will encounter such problems. Italy, Germany, England, Spain, and even France, no one speaks Ukrainian! The team will provide him with a translator until He is able to live independently in English. I think you can tell him that instead of dreaming of joining the giants and inconveniently communicating with many stars, even the head coach, it is better to come to my team first, at least The negative impact of the short board will be minimized, and he will be able to accumulate experience for him and learn how to live in a strange environment."


    Aldrich took the effort of nine cows and two tigers to persuade Shevchenko to join. Although the negotiation took a lot of time, he felt that it was understandable. After all, the other party was leaving his hometown and going to England. Be cautious. It should be.


    Before completing this transfer, Aldridge immediately returned to London to let Andrew handle the matter.


    Millwall is not easy to come forward and make a deal with the FA, and there must be a middleman.


    There have always been black and gold scandals in the football world, but basically all of them are in the front and behind the scenes of player transactions.


    Aldridge just wanted the FA to open a convenient door.


    Even if someone scandal broke out in the future, Aldridge could do nothing.


    Nedved doesn''t have an EU passport, but when he''s red and purple, who the **** dare say he''s not a genius? Not introducing him is the loss of English football.


    Shevchenko''s situation is similar, as long as he can be famous in the English football field, whether the hearing of the transfer transaction afterwards is boring, and no one will ask for it.


    As long as the money trading process does not leave the handle, Aldridge has no fear. In this regard, he is very comfortable with Andrew. The kid has been a wealth fan since he was a kid. The model, anyway, will not be stolen and acquired, and will not leave any traces.


    However, Aldridge got a message from Andrew in London: the FA needs a sponsor at the hearing.


    Millwall was no longer a team in the Premier League last year. At that time, it was not noticeable, and no one cared about who Millwall introduced. However, this summer, Millwall is a Premier League team. I hope that the FA will open the back door, which allows other 19 teams to see it, and it¡¯s the same way if there is no way to learn!


    Aldridge needs highly respected figures from the football world to come forward. He thinks about it. There is only one person who can move, or willing to help him and then "carry the Entourage".


    Alex Ferguson!

 Chapter 65： Another "catastrophe"?

    In English football, there are only three giants in the traditional sense that have ruled football, Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal.


    And teams like Everton, Tottenham, etc., can only be regarded as a team that has weight in football, but it is definitely not a big team. As for the later rise of Chelsea, even two thousand years ago, they even called the old powerhouses. Not on.


    Aldridge wants to find a weighty figure in contemporary football. Arsenal are overwhelming. Horston, who took over the team halfway last season, has left, and his successor is Bruce Leoch. As for Liverpool, Aldridge has nothing to do with the opposing coach Roy Evans. Moreover, the fact that he dug the three players of the Liverpool youth team in Merseyside was deliberately stabbed by Gerald. Obviously, Liverpool Would not welcome Aldridge''s visit.


    The only thing left to say is very important, of course, is Manchester United coach, Ferguson is about to usher in Manchester United''s tenth year.


    When Aldridge called the Ferguson''s house and said the matter briefly, Ferguson agreed without saying anything, and then chatted with Aldrich about Shevchenko with great interest.


    Although the transfer is not completed, Manchester United may cut off, but Aldridge does not think that Ferguson will directly pay a transfer fee of nearly two million pounds to a player that Manchester United has not investigated, even if Aldridge¡¯s team does not. Little baby, it''s hard to guarantee that he won''t look away, this kind of thing is common in football.


    As for the remuneration for doing this, the mature Ferguson did not mention it. They were smart people and did not agree with each other. Aldrich owed Ferguson a favor. He came to Japan and always came when Manchester United needed Aldridge to make concessions.


    With Ferguson coming forward as a guarantee, Aldridge has no worries about Shevchenko''s transfer.


    And at the beginning of July, after Andrew called him on the phone, Aldridge was planning to suspend the transfer, but he was very busy.


    In the hotel where the team was staying during the training, Aldridge pushed open the meeting room, gently closed the door, and then walked slowly to the table, where Andrew was sitting.


    "Really? Does his family agree?"


    Aldridge speaks very lowly, because from the legal point of view, it may be illegal to operate. Although the consequences will not be too serious, it will be a great blow to reputation.


    Andrew whispered while touching his chin: "Agree? They wish they could move out of the slum immediately! I''ve been to Brazil, Aldridge, you don''t know, I only discovered that children in East London had Fortunately, in Brazil¡¯s slums, those children either left the club with fame or became pawns for drug dealers or gangsters. In contrast, East London is simply heaven, and you can imagine being awakened by gunshots when sleeping at midnight How normal is it?"


    Aldridge had a certain understanding of the chaos in South America during this period, but after all, he was not immersive and he was not subjective to comment.


    Unbuttoning the suit, hands on hips, Aldridge closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said, "How much does it cost?"


    "It will cost ¡ê1.05 million to be handed over to the UK. In addition to providing them with livelihood security and job opportunities, I estimate that in the next five years, you will invest more than ¡ê2 million in this family. Erdrich, to be honest , I feel a little risky and not worth it."


    Andrew cautiously expressed his inner thoughts.


    Aldridge gasped quickly.


    The mind is running fast.


    Two million pounds?


    Is it worth the risk?


    The Brazilians in that family had a child named Ronaldo de Assis Moreira.


    Or called: Ronaldinho!


    Fifteen years old this year, he was accidentally discovered by Andrew scouts in Brazil.


    After learning about Ronaldinho''s family situation, Andrew let scouts make tentative contacts.


    The life of a family is almost dependent on the mother and brother, but the money his brother can make in Gremio is negligible. Brazil¡¯s ball market is far less prosperous than a decade later, otherwise there will not be Brazil every year. Stars landed in Europe, unlike in almost two decades, Brazilian domestic stars are more willing to stay in the home country, at least not inferior to Europe in terms of earning money.


    His father died early, and there is a sister at home. This kind of story is too familiar to his mother. Almost half of the Brazilian stars have a similar tragic childhood.


    Aldridge only wanted Ronaldinho, but it was impossible.


    If you want to be strong first, you will have to bring the other party''s family to the UK, even if the brother who is already self-reliant.


    "Can the Immigration Department do it?"


    "It''s not a big problem. Follow the charter. It''s just a matter of time. The review process is handed over to the lawyer."


    "Then you can help me with this matter, money, I can''t give you from the club account, go back and privately, any way, I will give you another two million pounds. I only need to determine two things, first, After he immigrated, there was no problem in family life, his sister¡¯s school or work, mother¡¯s arrangements, etc., don¡¯t go wrong. Second, he would join the Millwall youth team, don¡¯t be busy for a long time, and finally he ran away with others. "


    Aldrich thought about it and finally made up his mind. He was a little bit "non-toxic, not husband" at this moment.


    If he didn''t find Ronaldinho, he wouldn''t even find it. Why did he hesitate?


    Even if it is a blood, it must be brought over.


    Andrew stood up, staring at Aldridge with dignity, and asked, "Do you think clearly? This is an investment of two million pounds!"


    Who wouldn''t be distressed if they were floated? !


    Aldridge remained silent for a while, and finally gritted his teeth to focus on his head.


    Andrew no longer speaks, picking up his phone and starting to work.


    To operate such immigration, the Hall family is no different from sending money, but it is also guaranteed.


    The money will not be given directly to Ronaldinho, but British pounds will be purchased for one million pounds, and cannot be exchanged and traded within a certain period.


    The rest of the homes, work and the like are all in the UK, and the only one who really gets the other party is the good identity of the British account book and the whitewash, the arranged work and not too much bank savings.


    But for Brazilians living in slums, it is a dream come true. Walking out of the slums and going directly to the international metropolis London is a step forward.


    It takes half a year to complete the operation as quickly as possible. Aldrich is not in a hurry. Ronaldinho is only 15 years old. As long as he can get it, there will be a lot of time to become a talent in the future. He will not be ungrateful. If he does not sign a full-time contract with Millwall when he is an adult and transfers to other teams, then Aldridge is helpless.


    From the end of May to the end of June, for a whole month, Aldridge rushed around and completed the summer signing with a thunderbolt. When the transfer window opened, Millwall officially announced a few In the transfer transaction, Villa''s family moved to London, and 14-year-old David Villa entered the Millwall Youth Echelon.


    And in mid-July, after the FA''s hearing was held, the transfer of Shevchenko who had passed by also ended.


    While other teams were still wandering around in the transfer market, Aldridge held an official press conference. While several new players appeared together, he also announced the end of the summer transfer.


    Joe Cole, Ashley Cole, Joan Capdevila, David Villa, all four players have entered Millwall¡¯s youth echelon. Six players.


    Ivan Elgra, Danny Mills, Rio Ferdinand, Frank Lampard, Andrea Pirlo, Andre Shevchenko.


    In this way, the Millwall first team in the new season will have a total of 30 players.


    The first team lineup is a little crowded, but Aldrich doesn¡¯t think so. There are many players, such as Lampard, Ferdinand, Shevchenko, etc. who are under 20 years old. Having 20 appearances in a season is enough to exercise. No matter how much, it may not be beneficial.


    At the Lion''s Cave Stadium, six rookies who joined the first team put on their new jerseys together and demonstrated some of their footwork skills. Among them, Pirlo and Shevchenko''s sense of ball received the attention of the reporters.


    It was just a press conference. Aldridge didn''t want to make much noise. At the following press conference, he expressed that he was very satisfied with the transfer results this summer, but was questioned by reporters.


    Not to mention the whole of England, just to say that London, Chelsea introduced European and world double football player Gullit, Arsenal brought Bergkamp from Italy.


    Why did Millwall, who spent the most money last season, buy a bunch of little farts?


    Even though, Lampard, Ferdinand, a player dug from the enemy youth team, can make some news, but Pirlo, Shevchenko, who watched them play before?


    Not to mention Elgra from Spain and Mills from the relegation team Norwich.


    "Weak recruitment?"


    Aldridge pressed his arms across the table and faced the reporter''s question, he shook his head and smiled.


    What did Gullit, the 33-year-old world footballer, buy? Open a nursing home?


    At Bergkamp, ??Aldridge wanted it too, but Arsenal smashed a record transfer fee of more than 7 million pounds.


    Even if Millwall can afford the money, will Bergkamp come? Will there be the kind of effect that he happily packed his luggage when he heard that Arsenal invited him?


    Faced with the reporters¡¯ difficulties, Aldridge smiled strangely: ¡°Last summer, I remember the Times¡¯ evaluation of Millwall¡¯s summer transfer: disaster! This summer, you can also write like this, It doesn¡¯t matter. At this time next year, let¡¯s discuss whether this summer¡¯s transfer is a success or a failure.¡±


    After talking, Aldridge smiled and got up and left.


    The newly joined six players looked at Aldridge''s chic back, and they all showed a smile.


    Such a leader is really personal.

 Chapter 66： Lawless

    When the summer transfer battle was in full swing, Millwall in East London was exceptionally calm.


    Millwall fans seemed a little depressed. Arsenal of North London first brought the Dutch star Bergkamp, ??and then took the famous England star David Pratero to his command. Obviously, a gesture to rebuild the dynasty, West London Chelsea also introduced Gullit in a high-profile manner, which was the first European footballer and world footballer in the history of English football. It was a landmark signing.


    After Crystal Palace was upgraded last year and relegated again this year, West Ham United is accusing Millwall of ugly digging, Charlton and Queens Park Rangers seem to be tepid and always seem to lack a sense of presence. The darlings Klinsmann and Popescu clanged Wimbledon poorly, still paying the cost of renting the stadium with Crystal Palace under the fence...


    Lively London has news every day in the summer, but the calm Millwall makes fans feel stumped. Whenever they look up at the north or west of London, there is an illusion: people are booming over the new year, what do we do Can''t even eat dumplings?


    But in the past, fans who have been accustomed to no well-known stars coming to the club soon relieved. In random interviews on the streets of the Sun, more than 85% of Millwall fans said that as long as Millwall can relegate to the Premier League next season , They will be satisfied.


    The day of summer training is approaching. Aldridge moved into a new community one kilometer away from the club. This community is a property belonging to him. He chose a complex apartment in the middle of the community as his residence. Other apartments, then Fifty units were sold to loyal Millwall fans.


    Aldridge asked Brady to select one hundred loyal fans who wanted to buy a property from the "Lion Roar" fan organization, and then Millwall officials made another selection to investigate the background of these residents. After the review, the market price will be seven. Sell ??the property at a discounted price.


    There is also a purpose for these fans to live here, that is, they can provide accommodation for young players. The team will have a bus every day to come to the community to pick up young players and go to the new Leo training base of the club.


    The remaining vacant apartments will be partly left to immigrant families such as the Villa family, and can also solve the accommodation problems of club staff.


    The Spice Girls released their singles in July and officially debuted in the British music scene. Melanie Chisholm, who was idle, happily came to help Aldridge move.


    In the clean and spacious apartment, Aldridge set the sofa downstairs and looked at the rows of cartons on the floor. He lay on the sofa for a rest.


    "Aldrich, can I read your diary?"


    Melanie, who was sitting on the stairs on the second floor, was resting with a suitcase in her hand. She picked up the book in the suitcase, opened it and found it was Audric''s diary, and asked casually.


    "Randomly, there is no secret."


    Melanie squeezed her hair behind her ear, turned a page, and read it slowly.


    "I stayed in Portugal for 28 days, trying to find Ronaldinho still wearing crotch pants, but it made me lost five times in the capital Lisbon, and finally, I gave up the search and came here, the city of Porto.


    A fellow from this life also came to Porto from Lisbon. He is a football coach Bobby Robson. I have no interest in him, but Porto still has people who attract me.


    Before the Porto Club held a press conference, I hired a makeup artist to make me a mature man in his twenties, and then I asked Andrew to send a fake fax to the Porto Club in London, claiming that I was A reporter representing the Times, and then, with a fake press card hanging around my neck, I walked into the scene of a press conference in Porto.


    Here, Bobby Robson, who is not able to speak the language, is a bit like a puppet, but every sentence he says will be transcribed through a translation. For the first time, I saw Mourinho under God in reality. At a young age, he was meticulous about his work. As can be seen from his translation, he would even imitate Robson''s tone of speech.


    In order to declare the existence of my fake reporter, so of course, I raised my hand during the questioning session. When the press officer indicated that I could ask questions, I stood up and asked aloud: Mr. Mourinho, what are you planning When coaching a team?


    Actually, I know this answer, I just want to hear what he thinks now.


    However, it was obvious that Mourinho was frightened. Instead of relaying my question to Robson, he asked me to repeat it.


    I asked again, and added a sentence: You obviously don¡¯t just want to be an interpreter, oh, or an assistant coach, you are an ambitious person, the head coach is your desired position.


    What I did not expect was that Mourinho was furious, and then I was kicked out of the Porto club.


    When I was angry and wandering outside the Porto club, Mourinho rushed out, he grabbed my collar, annoyed and asked me if I wanted him to lose his job!


    I was also irritated. While he was not paying attention, I squeezed his thin face fiercely, then yelled in his ear, then I turned and ran, Mourinho probably got stunned, waiting for him to react When I came to chase me, I had already thrown him away a few streets, and ran for ten minutes. I was sure he did not catch up. Then, I withdrew my disguise and got on the train to Spain. It was a pleasant day.


    Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha¡­¡­"


    Melanie laughed when she didn''t hold back till the end.


    She just thought that Aldridge, who was a young man but disguised as a reporter at the news conference, was really unbearable.


    Thinking of the past few years ago, Aldridge smiled on the couch.


    He did not expect Mourinho''s reaction to be so exciting at the time. If it were not for him to run fast, maybe the two would wrestle in the street.


    Suddenly there was a warm body in her arms. Melanie pressed on Aldridge and asked with a smile on her face: "Why were you so naughty when you were a kid? Last time your elder brother said you would smash someone''s glass when you were a kid , How can you be so lawless?"


    Aldrich felt wronged, and it was irrelevant for him to smash the glass.


    "Hey, why did you choose to live here?"


    "What''s wrong here?"


    "I thought you would live in a mansion in West London like your elder brother."


    "Uh, there are many reasons to live here, and the most important one is that I can monitor young people in the team here to prevent them from lingering in nightclubs or to hire prostitutes."


    Melanie propped herself up, her shirt collar wide open, and Aldridge naturally took the opportunity to feast her eyes. The full breast shape was beautiful under the black bra.


    "You want to be a dad, but who will spy on you?"


    Melanie whispered playfully.


    Aldrich put her arm around her back, raised her hand on her tender face, and smiled lightly: "I wouldn''t lower my price to connect with a prostitute, why bother? I''m already like a jade lady."


    Melanie''s eyes softened, seeming to drip water, and she leaned down and kissed Aldridge passionately.


    After a little warmth, the two got up again and got busy arranging the room. Until the night fell, the small apartment didn''t feel like a home.


    At dinner time, Aldridge received a call from Brady. The friends agreed to have a meal together tonight. He did not change clothes. He took Melanie out and drove the BMW that Arthur gave him to the restaurant. .


    Brady, who had long waited in the restaurant, saw Aldridge and Melanie appearing together and waved with a smile. Aldridge saw Brady, Fred and Ewen at a glance, but they just looked Yiwen''s complexion is not very good.


    When Aldridge came to the table, Brady smiled narrowly: "Don''t you introduce me?"


    "Melanie Chisholm."


    Melanie reached out generously and shook hands with the three young people who met for the first time. After the handshake, Yiwen lifted his handbag and said sadly: "Sorry, I''m not feeling well, so I will go first."


    When she was finished, she got up and left.


    Aldridge asked with concern as she passed by, "Is it important? If I drive, I can take you to the hospital."


    Ewen turned his head to stare at Aldridge for a few seconds, and finally shook his head calmly: "It''s okay, just go back and rest."


    Looking at her back, Aldridge shook his head with regret, and he hadn''t seen this talented girl who had studied IT in college for more than two months.


    Brady and Fred looked at each other, revealing a bitter smile.


    Even Melanie''s eyes showed some suddenness, but she just clenched Audric''s hand subconsciously.


    The dinner for four people was a pleasure. Aldrich talked to Brady about many fan organizations. He hopes that the Roar Fans can provide the club with the greatest support, especially in the game, including the momentum, tolerance and encouragement of young rookies. Wait, this will directly affect the long-term development of the team.


    Just before the dinner ended, Brady pulled Aldridge and whispered, "Audrich, you have to be mentally prepared this season."


    "What do you mean?"


    "This season, we will talk to West Ham United, Chelsea directly in the league, host and guest, at least four games, I can not command others, and some members of Bushwancker will not suddenly disappear, Derby, the court is not the focus There will be real war off the field."


    Aldridge nodded solemnly.

 Chapter 67： Champion Ambition

    Leo Youth Training Base is listed.


    The new echelon coaching team meeting laid the guidelines for training newcomers.


    Expansion of the medical department.


    Babu went to the United States for a month to study in the United States in the summer, and brought back American physical training expertise. He will promote the experience and knowledge he learned in the club. On the physical training of the sports discipline, the United States has led the world in contemporary times. Physical training It is a separate professional field, which will help Millwall players to exercise better, and it is combined with the reasonable growth of sports equipment.


    ...


    One piece after another, Aldridge did it himself, because Millwall used to call it nothing, and some were old and incapable of keeping up with the times, so Aldridge must ensure that the club is from top to bottom There is no problem with the construction of the framework. When everything is on the right track, he will not have to worry about it.


    In mid-to-late July, the players returned one after another. When the day of assembly came, Aldridge wore club sportswear and the members of the coaching staff to the training ground. There, the players were chatting and talking about the anecdotes of summer vacations. .


    "Huh? Who are you?"


    Aldridge walked to the middle of the player, and somehow stretched his hand against the shoulder of a fat boy.


    Pireha laughed: "Boss, he is David!"


    "David? David Trezeguet? Are you his brother? Say, where the **** is he going? Don''t want to be confused with a stand-in, look at your stature, far from David, look at you Your belly can be used as a trampoline, eh? Is it good elasticity?"


    Aldrich reached out and patted the young man''s stomach, it was really sensual.


    Other players whistled and whistled.


    "Yes! I said he must be posing!"


    Schneider also began to fall into the hole.


    Trezeguet touched his big bald head and dared not to look at Audridge with his head down, only to whisper bitterly: "Boss, it''s really me."


    Of course, Aldridge knew that the young man who was getting fat right now was Trezeguet, and he beckoned to the players: "Today is the first day of training, the task is very simple, go to Leo Youth Training Base for medical examination, how do you play on vacation I just don¡¯t ask, anyway, as long as you can come back to the club without breaking the law, it¡¯s enough, but before the start of the new season, if all the physical indicators can¡¯t meet the standard, then sit on the bench. David, can you still run?¡±


    "Boss, absolutely no problem!"


    Having said that, Trezeguet ran out of the training ground for the first time, but compared to his vigorous figure last season, this obviously fat lad ran a little funny.


    Aldrich greeted the returning players one by one, and some players also took out gift boxes and sent them to Aldridge and other coaching staff. Most of them were special souvenirs brought from their hometowns, or they went to travel to buy Hand letter.


    Aldridge carried a large bag of gifts and watched the players running past them nodding with smiles.


    There are only a few players in the team who have obviously gained weight. Slightly older players, especially the team¡¯s model Southgate, Nedved, Larson, obviously maintain proper physical exercise during the holidays. And gym madmen like Gattuso and Barak have obvious muscle enhancement.


    Let Craig take the players to the youth training base, and Aldridge let other first team coaches return to the hotel for a meeting.


    In the conference room, he took out a schedule of the Premier League next season and let coaches have a look.


    After everyone has seen it, Aldrich, like the pre-season meeting last season, first discusses the thickness of the lineup with everyone, whether the talent reserve in each position needs to be reinforced through targeted recruitment.


    On the discussion of this topic, everyone''s opinions are relatively unified.


    Millwall, who has 30 players in the first team, is thick enough without a large-scale injury.


    Aldridge followed the Premier League team for a strong and weak scoring just like last season.


    "Combined with the team''s scouting intelligence analysis, the Premier League next season will be able to attack the championship, at least five teams, defending champions Blackburn, Manchester United, Liverpool, Newcastle United, Arsenal. And Stable in the top of the standings, Nottingham Forest and Tottenham won third in the league last season. But this is only a conservative estimate. Every season, there will always be several teams that perform beyond expectations. And because of Mill Wall is in London, and our derby opponents are ranked in order of importance, in order: West Ham United, Chelsea, Wimbledon, Tottenham, Arsenal, Queens Park Rangers. In summary, I think Ask everyone a question: Can Millwall in the new season of the Premier League, attack the championship, and finally win the cup!"


    As soon as the voice fell, the audience was shocked!


    Everyone''s eyes involuntarily turned to the young figure sitting at the end of the long table.


    Aldridge''s eyes were as if he were tortured, and his handsome face was as cold as ice.


    This is a very cautious topic.


    The team''s established goals for the season are related to the plan for the entire season.


    If a team has no ideals and goals, it will naturally lack motivation, take a step by step and see where to play, where to count, where the game is played, you want to achieve a high goal, the game kicked down, give yourself one Under the steps, such a team will never become a climate.


    Just like last season, Aldridge¡¯s goal was to train the team, and his performance was not important. Therefore, when the Premier League was far ahead, he did not shift his goal to the cup. The season is a whole, with a strong continuity, and the consequences of winning Long Shu It may be a chicken fly. Many teams in history have been competitive in the multi-line but eventually lost everything. The big reason is lack of greed, overestimation of their own strength, and the team suffered under high expectations. The blow will also have a knock-on effect.


    The members of the coaching staff bowed their heads in contemplation.


    Premier League champion?


    The myth of the newly promoted champion? !


    This is nothing new. In English football, almost 20 years ago, the first year of Nottingham Forest¡¯s promotion to the first division, destroyed the dream of Liverpool¡¯s three consecutive championships that wanted to establish a red dynasty, but that miracle is in This is the only time in the history of nearly 50 years of English football.


    In Ligue 1, there are more teams to win the championship with promotion, Saint Etienne, Bordeaux, Monaco have done it.


    As for the Kaiser myth, that is still two years later.


    Aldridge has the ambition to challenge the throne, but after carefully analyzing the Nottingham Forest Wonder, it is difficult for Millwall to replicate that miracle.


    In the 42 rounds of the league at the time, Nottingham Forest only lost three games, the reason is not that they have the strongest lineup in the league, the biggest factor is the tactical victory of Brian Crawford, when England is playing high and playing long When passing the simple tactics of rushing and hanging, the smooth attack of Nottingham Forest¡¯s ground pass attack was like a blast of wind, and eventually a huge tornado was formed, which raged the entire first-class stadium and even threw the defending champion Liverpool by seven points. The gap finally ended.


    Although it was not an epoch-making tactical change, it caused a huge wave in England, and Millwall did not have a strong tactical advantage to suppress the Premier League.


    But the desire for the championship, let Aldridge throw this topic out.


    If the entire coaching staff can convince him with reasons, he is willing to accompany everyone crazy.


    Jenson spoke first, he coughed twice, and then said: "Aldrich, I think we have to discuss this topic sensibly. First of all, although there are thirty men in the first team of Millwall, there are players under the age of twenty. How much? Half of it! They have talent and ability, but they are still growing. The game time must be reasonable, and they cannot be relied on to play all games in one season and play stable. And the Premier League is too competitive, as you said before you Those strong teams, they will never despise us, because playing against us means that they must score three points, and the derby game, even, we play against the middle and lower teams, it will be very tragic, because we are The relegated opponents in the other party''s heart have defeated us in order to let them go ashore."


    Aldrich heard the words and closed his eyes to think.


    Jensen said it makes sense. Nottingham Forest Marvel also has an advantage, that is, Nottingham Forest comes down in a season, there are no few derby games that must be exhausted!


    In Millwall, London, there are two dead enemies in the Premier League, plus other opponents with various derby relations. In 38 games, more than 10 games are derby games, which is not much different from the decisive battle. It will also rise, and the likelihood of an increase in incidental injuries during the same period will increase.


    Aldrich gave up the idea of ??impacting the championship in the new season. Although it is very tempting, it is a bit out of reality. After all, Millwall is still too young to withstand any negative impact, and put too much pressure on these players. Let them be bound by yoke.


    After all, the league is a long one. No one knows what kind of accidents will happen during the long run of nine months.


    But Aldridge still said in a deep voice: "But Millwall needs a championship. We need a championship to keep the players. If all four are empty next season, even I have no confidence to keep anyone who wants to leave the team."


    Yes, in order to retain all the players on the team, Aldridge must have a championship. There is a championship trophy that players can see and touch to retain them, inspire them, and give them the motivation to leave. Create greater ambition and confidence for them!

 Chapter 68： New crisis and new challenge!

    Last season Aldridge spent a lot of money, almost spent half of the club''s cost to build a new team, it is a season of life and death, if Millwall can not be promoted, Aldridge will lose a lot of the team''s main force Players, at the same time, he can not control the players in the team.


    Playing in the Premier League in the new season, although as long as relegation can continue to survive, this will greatly affect the height that Millwall can reach, because Aldridge will inevitably lose the outstanding players in the team.


    The career of professional players is very short. From maturity to the peak period, it may be less than ten years. In such a decade, professional players want to build a professional glory, they must be based on a strong On the team, if Millwall could not provide such an environment, Aldridge could not blame anyone on the team who was distracted.


    The Premier League is undoubtedly a bigger stage than the First Division, and it will directly attract the attention of Europe. When the Millwall players are exposed to a more shining spotlight, as long as there is a little achievement, then one after another will come. It is the transfer intention of major European giants and first-tier clubs.


    The football world is so cruel. The best and best resources are to be divided among the giants that occupy the country. Especially at the end of 95, after the implementation of the Bosman rule, the most typical exception is the new science that has been hollowed out. Champions League champion Ajax.


    Aldridge needs a championship trophy to inspire this season. If it is not a miracle of the Premier League championship, then it can only be the domestic two cup championship.


    The members of the coaching staff also understand that Millwall''s situation this season is grim.


    After all, Millwall is a small temple. If you want to keep the great god, you must gilt yourself.


    Tolop pondered: "Maybe it''s a bit weird to say so, but I think this season, you can use the league to train the players, try to narrow the gap between the bench and the main lineup, so that we can fight for a next season An unprecedentedly strong lineup, not an embarrassing situation where the bench is difficult to provoke a beam. The League Cup and the FA Cup, we can go all out. At least, two cups, from the Premier League team to the game to the finals, all you need is Seven games, of course, without the premise of replay. Moreover, the schedule of the League Cup, except for the finals around the end of February and early March, the first six games will be completed from the end of August to the end of January, and the FA Cup is from one Started to participate in the battle at the beginning of the month until the championship was decided in May. There is a lot of room for adjustment in the middle. At least half of the game time of the two cups will not overlap, and we can prepare independently."


    Torop''s point of view was unanimously agreed by the coaching staff.


    Millwall needs a championship, but in terms of the difficulty of the championship, it is definitely the biggest in the league, and the difficulty of the cup is relatively small, especially even if the lottery faces the strong team, it is difficult to ensure that the strong team will not be distracted by the league and underestimate the cup.


    After thinking for a while, Aldridge said: "Well, our plan for this season, the main lineup goes all out for the cup. In the league, we now plan the rotation according to the schedule, and hand over important leagues to the main lineup. Especially when playing against strong teams, the weaker opponents will be dealt with by the substitute lineup. As long as the substitute lineup does not collapse, then the first team that has experienced the Premier League training next season will be more powerful."


    Next, the coaching staff began to study the schedule.


    Speaking of each Premier League team will encounter the Devil schedule during the season, especially for weak teams, they will always encounter strong teams in a certain period of time.


    Millwall was a bit lucky.


    The first round of the league: visiting Old Trafford.


    Second round: vs. arsenal at home.


    Round 3: Guest at Anfield.


    Fourth round: Guest challenge the defending champion Blackburn.


    Round 5: Home vs. Nottingham Forest.


    ...


    Aldrich has no complaints about the schedule. He feels that there is nothing to blame. In fact, the FA schedule is not random. If you look closely at the schedule, you will find that other teams will also be like this in the Devil schedule. Opponents, Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Blackburn, Nottingham Forest... It''s just that Millwall played this schedule at the beginning of the first round.


    Under the premise of no game rescheduling, the Millwall coaching team has made a rough rotation plan. This is a big tone. As for the situation of injuries or game rescheduling, only a small range of adjustments can be made. .


    Moreover, in Aldrich¡¯s coaching ideas, no player on the team can exceed the density of one game per week, which means that in a nine-month game cycle, no player will play more than 38 times. This is to avoid player injuries. Illness is also to maintain the player''s hunger in the game, to avoid psychological boredom caused by too many games, in the long run, it is also for the player''s career peak period to last longer.


    After this topic ended, Aldridge took the lead in smoking a cigarette in the conference room. After ten minutes of relaxation, Aldridge once again threw an important topic.


    "Guys, I want to start a team''s tactical style change this season."


    Everyone cheered up and waited for the following.


    Aldridge turned on the projector in the conference room and projected the picture materials he had prepared on the large screen, which was the 442 formation used by Millwall''s current main lineup.


    The four guards are parallel, two midfielders drag one behind, one forward, two wing forwards, two forwards one in front and one slightly behind.


    "Last season, our bench had used such a 433 formation."


    Aldridge put another picture next to it, after Beckham left in the second half of last season.


    The four backs are parallel, three midfielders, one trailing, one in the middle, one slightly forward, and then three forward arrows.


    "Actually, the tactical formation from the backup lineup is my ideal formation. Last season, because I was worried about directly discharging such a 433 formation, the lack of a midfield commander would cause the offensive weakness, so I used the traditional 442. And I think the balance offensive and defensive is the most important in the top field. In the fast game rhythm of the top field, in the 442 formation, once the midfielder comes forward and the counterattack is counterattacked, it is unrealistic to rely on the midfielder to intercept. And 433, based on the strong control of the midfield, achieves the combination of side and center, winger incut, and full-backs with assists and other offensive means, the assignment of responsibilities in the middle, the first defense of the midfielder, two midfielders, A responsible organization, a response, the three arrows must not only make full use of the width of the court, but also be able to frequently change positions and insert into the restricted area to achieve the best offensive effect."


    Seeing the two tactical diagrams on the big screen, the coaching staff members thought about each other, and Aldridge projected a more detailed tactical explanation on the big screen.


    Jenson wondered: "Three forwards, two are wingers?"


    The traditional winger is mostly a threat on the side. The main role is to deliver shells to the middle. If the winger in Aldridge¡¯s 433 formation is only such a role, then the center reduces a forward and does not necessarily increase its power. .


    Aldridge seriously said: "Winger, but not a simple bottom pass, such a winger needs to have the ability to score inwardly, and to be able to play with the center, two midfielders, and the corresponding linebacker. To form a cooperation, especially when the full-back assists come up to form the advantage of the number of wingers, the winger must insert the penalty area or attract the attention of the defensive player, or directly form a shooting opportunity to complete the score."


    Jenson frowned: "This is too high for the ability of the winger. Can pass the ball accurately, have a sense of running and coordination, have the ability to break through, and must also have a shot. This is just an offensive, and the defense must also be spared. Run physically."


    Aldrich nodded and said: "Yes, the requirements are of course high, but our team has such materials that can be made, Pires, Larson, I believe they can do it, and Solskjaer is no problem. Shevchenko, who just came in the summer, although he is playing the center material, but he can also be qualified for this position, especially in tactics, after the winger broke into the penalty area or completed the transposition with the center, in the penalty area, like Larson The player of Shevchenko''s center material is even more powerful."


    After thinking for a while, Jenson nodded and said: "The idea is very good, not to mention the front line. There are three positions in the midfield. In the midfield, we have Makelele. Gattuso can meet the tactical requirements. Then this midfielder What about the commander? Vieira? Or Nedved?"


    "No, I will use 442 next season, because instead of playing 433, then Schneider will be withdrawn from the main lineup by me. I don¡¯t want to do this, and it will chill his heart. But I hope the club will go from top to bottom I will instill such a tactical philosophy in the players, especially the bench lineup, the role of midfielder commander, I plan to train the new Italian guy, Andrea Pirlo. Nedved in the future midfield, is As a coordinating role, his large-scale running and forward threat to the penalty area will be one of the flexible winning points in the tactical change."


    The coaching staff looked at each other, they did not expect Audridge to attach such importance to the new Pirlo, the role of commander, that must be the tactical soul of the team, and Nedved, has become a season The spiritual leader of the team.


    As for the tactical reform part, Aldridge and colleagues have discussed for a long time, perfecting the immature part, exploring more valuable tactical changes and so on.


    When the meeting was over, Aldridge applauded everyone, encouraged each other, and cheered for the new season!


    Later, the first team coach went to the Leo Youth Training Base to meet the players, and then shot the family portrait in the 95/96 season on the new training ground!


    The new family portrait was posted on the corridor of the Leo Youth Training Base together with last year. At the same time, souvenirs of the new season are also sold in the club store, new jerseys, new scarves, new posters, etc., everything is new. .


    Of course, the new season, new challenges, for the championship trophy!

    Volume Two The King of London

 Chapter 69： Whose dream theater?

    August 18, 1995.


    Once at noon, the world factory in Manchester, the west side of the city became full of traffic, and the streets were full of people. If you look down from the sky, you can see the direction of the crowds and it is a modern stadium.


    Dream Theater: Old Trafford!


    A bus with a blue lion printed on it slowly drove towards Old Trafford. There is no doubt that it was the bus that Millwall took after arriving in Manchester.


    From the beginning of the new season, Aldridge signed a contract with the car rental company. In the away game outside of London in the UK, Aldridge''s team must take the Milwall team logo on the coach, and tell everyone high-profile: Millwall is here!


    Spare no effort in publicity is a necessary homework for the club to enhance its popularity, and car rental companies are also willing to provide such a service. As long as it is a game around Greater Manchester, it will undertake large customers such as Millwall, not to mention it can also use this to communicate with fan groups. It is also on the line, and it can also enhance the company''s brand.


    After more than 20 days of summer training, Aldridge¡¯s team was ready to go and prepared for the new season. The players also gradually entered the game from the leisure state of the holiday. Before the start of the season, Millwall played Five warm-up matches, all of which are English football opponents, three of the four teams relegated to the Premier League last year, plus two two Premier League teams that failed to advance last year, all were guest games, Millwall warmed up The game only achieved a bad record of four draws and one loss. In the analysis and prediction of the major media during the pre-season tour of the Premier League, Millwall''s poor pre-season warm-up performance may make their relegation prospects very unoptimistic.


    If they can''t adapt to the Premier League more quickly, they may have been left behind by relegation opponents when they can get a foothold in the English timeout.


    Aldrich does not have any requirements for the warm-up match. Warm-up warm-up is to let the players adjust their physical condition, not to fight hard to win.


    In each of the five warm-up games, he played the whole team in the first half and the second half.


    When the bus drove outside of Old Trafford, Aldridge, like everyone else in the bus, involuntarily cast his gaze out the window, staring at the magnificent modern stadium not far away.


    There are crowds of people outside the stadium. Fans wearing Red Devils jerseys can be seen everywhere. They take pictures, talk and laugh, eat and drink, and playful... they don¡¯t care about who their opponents are today, and the lazy enjoyment that is revealed is the pride and lack of confidence in Manchester United. Fear of any opponent''s contempt.


    Players like Nedvide, Southgate, etc., couldn''t help showing their fascination when looking at the stadium landscape not far from the window.


    Is this Old Trafford?


    The legend of the Red Devils, the theater of dreams!


    Aldridge took back his eyes and said that not envying is self-deception. There are so many envious teams in the world that envy Manchester United. There is no need to pretend that their kennel is better than Manchester United¡¯s golden nest.


    It doesn''t matter, everything will be there.


    This is also the motivation for the team and himself.


    At the reception of the Manchester United club officials, all Millwall staff who had gone to Manchester got off the bus and came to the locker room.


    There is still a period of time before the game, the players will first put on jerseys to warm up off the field, Aldridge will randomly visit in the club.


    After the warm-up time ended, the team returned to the locker room. Before the locker door closed, they could even hear the tsunami-like fans cheering at Old Trafford Hill. The old Trafford song was playing in the stadium Not as powerful as the fans.


    When Wan Lai was silent, Aldridge stood in front of an empty tactical board. He never took out a tactical board before the game to write and paint, and he only did this when the midfield needed to be adjusted.


    The eleven starters have changed their jerseys, and the replacement players are wearing jackets and sitting in the locker room, waiting for the final instructions from Audridge before the game.


    "where are we?"


    Aldridge asked slightly, his chin lifted slightly.


    The players looked at each other, and Larson shrugged: "Old Trafford."


    "Yes, we are in Old Trafford, and we are here today to challenge the most watched team in the United Kingdom: Manchester United. Perhaps, they are not as good as Liverpool than the trophy, but in England, Manchester United Like a favored child, from the royal family to the fans, Manchester United receives the most attention. Waiting for the appearance, you can observe the expression of the Manchester United players. They are proud and dignified, as if they have a bone domineering, especially At Old Trafford, they are even more life-threatening. I, Aldridge Hall, today was the first Premier League I coached and the first Premier League in your life, tell me, tell me aloud, When we come to Old Trafford, when we come to Dream Theater, when our opponent is Manchester United, will we just come to visit? Will we be the background? We will be left behind by Manchester United tomorrow Disdain?"


    Aldridge was awkward, not hysterical, but there was a deep rage inside and outside.


    "Do not!"


    The players roared in unison.


    Aldridge nodded and said in a deep voice: "Remember our opponent is Manchester United, remember this is our dream theater, and remember that today will be our famous moment! Tell the arrogant Manchester United, Old Trafford Germany, we love here! Because we will take the victory here! This is you, this is me, the big day in life! Go ahead, beat them, don¡¯t give a trace of kindness to trample Manchester United to me! Milwaukee! The lions of Seoul, run!"


    With a big wave of hand, Millwall''s team was full of energy, as if killing the door of the locker room and going out.


    The coaching staff and other players walked away and looked at each other with a smile. They were already accustomed to Aldridge¡¯s inspiring passion, but every experience would be shocked from the heart. If they can play on the court , Will forget everything and desperately!


    Old Trafford has been remodeled several times in nearly a hundred years of history, and the Ferguson era has also left him with a penchant for the transformation of this special course.


    The biggest change is that the player channel is rebuilt on the top of the corner flag of the stadium. Such a change will make the home court advantage play to the fullest. Whether it is playing or exiting, halftime, players and referees will both After passing here, even the visiting team''s head coach has to walk dozens of meters from the sidelines to enter the player channel. In this way, Manchester United fans on the sidelines can collectively exert pressure on players, coaches, and even the head referee!


    Both the substitute players and the first team coaches have gone out. Aldridge is at the end. The team¡¯s starting players are lined up to wait for the game. They are really looking at Manchester United¡¯s starting players. As Aldridge said, The Manchester United players held their heads high, and the winning tickets revealed between the eyebrows were holding their colors, which was very different from other opponents.


    This is a kind of temperament. It is a Red Devils temperament cultivated in Manchester United for a long time. It is not innate, but it is enough for life.


    Ferguson''s appearance also seemed to be delayed for some time. The two coaches met in the player tunnel. The two bypassed the players and then met outside the player tunnel.


    Ferguson walked to Aldridge with a smile, and the two walked to the side of the coach side by side.


    "Today the Millwall boys are very fighting spirit."


    "No way, relegation team, the strength is not good and then lose momentum, then next year will really return to the first division."


    Aldridge replied with a smile.


    Fans on the sidelines cheered Ferguson''s name, but Ferguson turned to smile at Aldridge: "I think Millwall can be ranked in the top ten this season, and it is certainly no problem to relegation."


    "I hope so, huh."


    "A drink after the game?"


    "Then Manchester United must be merciful, otherwise I will lose miserably, my wine is very poor."


    "Hahaha, Aldridge, has anyone said you are a little fox?"


    Aldridge raised an eyebrow with a smile, and said nothing more.


    Ferguson patted his shoulder, then raised his hands, applauded, and stepped onto the home team coach.


    Old Trafford''s coach seat is very peculiar, not set up on the sidelines, but integrated with the stands.


    Aldridge did not take the visiting team coach seat, he stood on the sidelines, put his hands in his pockets and looked at the court, waiting for the game to start.


    The three sides of the southwest and north are surrounded by the red ocean, and the visiting fans are arranged in the east. It is exactly the opposite of the traditional Manchester United fan group. It is also for safety reasons, and the most loyal fans of each team are separated as far as possible. .


    The Lion Roar fan organization came to Old Trafford with the team. There are now more than 1,000 visiting fans using Millwall¡¯s traditional dark blue jerseys in the East Stand to form a small and exquisite but meaningful picture: Blue lion, that is Millwall''s team logo!


    In the East Stand near the stadium, two beautiful and beautiful women were sitting there. Melanie looked at Aldridge with a telescope in hand and saw him standing indifferently with his hands in his pockets. Scolded his lips and said: "Humph, cool!"


    Victoria looked around boredly, and she seemed distracted, only to talk to Melanie about her dealings with Aldridge.

 Chapter 70： Invincible, why do you rule?

    Old Trafford¡¯s South Stand is the location of the TV broadcast lens. It has the most VIP boxes in the entire stadium. At the same time, live game commentators representing different TV stations and live broadcast platforms are also here.


    In the room of Sky TV, the live commentators are two senior football players and the most popular commentators in the future football, Martin Taylor and Andy Gray, even though the reputation is not as great as the future, but Their professional commentary can be widely praised, and even get the reputation of the best commentary combination in the world in the future.


    The two''s complexions are not very good today.


    In the new season''s live broadcast commentary plan for the TV station, the two were somewhat inexplicable and enraged by the task assigned by the high-level TV station.


    Sky TV didn¡¯t know what to do, but it was actually featured on the live broadcast day. In the 38 rounds of the league, in addition to famous games, such as Merseyside Derby, England Derby, Manchester United vs Arsenal, or North London Derby, etc. Waiting for the high-profile game, on other game days, one team was clearly taken care of: Millwall!


    The instructions issued by Sky TV executives are written in the live broadcast plan. Millwall is the only team to win the live broadcast of the game after Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal!


    Not only that, but also live broadcast of Millwall games, it must be Andy Gray and Martin Taylor to explain live!


    Whether the game is included in the key live broadcast directly affects the team''s broadcast revenue. The broadcast share of the Premier League is based on part of the team''s performance, part of the average distribution, part of the game live broadcast and so on.


    Millwall apparently surpassed most of the Premier League midstream and downstream teams in this part.


    Martin Taylor and Andy Gray are working in the end, and the company arranges so that they can only do it. But if Millwall''s game is dull and affects the ratings, then they have the confidence to challenge the top management.


    Naturally, they didn''t know that Barnett was crazy about Murdoch!


    Murdoch now regrets every day why he did not prevent the Hall family from buying shares in Sky TV. In the summer, Barnett made no secret that he wanted Sky TV to take care of Millwall and be equipped with top commentators. To serve Millwall in terms of exposure at the best time.


    Murdoch had a quarrel with Barnett. As a result, Barnett made a ultimatum directly, disagree? If you don¡¯t agree, then don¡¯t blame me for intervening in the management of Sky TV. Barnett has shares, but he used to be an investor. He used to be the stockholder. With the weight of his shares, if he wants to make waves on the board of Sky TV, it¡¯s enough. Murdoch was disturbed by sleep and sleep, especially Barnett was an authentic British, and Murdoch was a foreigner.


    Aldrich didn''t know this before, and he only notified Barnett after he got everything done. Aldridge didn''t have any opinion other than laugh.


    Increasing broadcast revenue is second, and the rapid increase in popularity is the key.


    Television broadcasting is an important way to affect the team''s popularity. Of course, fans will like professional commentators. Otherwise, Millwall''s game will be played well. A commentator who does not have the slightest passion for the commentary will not be interested by the TV audience.


    As for whether Millwall can play well, Aldridge is at least confident that he will definitely look better than the long pass flying around.


    When players from both sides lined up, Sky TV''s live broadcast also began.


    "Hello everyone, and welcome to Old Trafford Stadium. I am Martin Taylor. Today I will explain the game with Andy Gray. Hi Andy."


    "Hi Martin, today is the first round of the new season of the Premier League. Last season¡¯s last round missed the reversal of Blackburn¡¯s defending Premier League Manchester United at home against Millwall who performed amazingly in the Premier League last season. Manchester United coach Ferguson is in the new The season has been a big change for the team. They have a young lineup in the new season. Andy, how do you think about it?"


    "I believe many fans have heard Alan Hansen¡¯s comments. He said that Ferguson cannot win any championship with a group of children. Interestingly, Millwall¡¯s starting lineup is younger than Manchester United. Lun Hansen also commented on Millwall. He said that he hopes that Millwall¡¯s children will not be scared by adults¡¯ football. Hehe, will Millwall be scared of urine? I don¡¯t know, but I don¡¯t know. Undoubtedly, Millwall last season surprised other teams in the Premier League. Today''s game is a contest between two young teams. Compared to Millwall''s overall youth, Manchester United''s lineup seems reasonable. Ferguson hopes to use Complete the construction of a new generation of Red Devils in an old and new way."


    "Yes, let¡¯s see how young Aldridge will lead his team to play at Old Trafford today. Let¡¯s introduce you to the starting lineup of both sides. The home team Manchester United is wearing a traditional red jersey white Shorts, starting goalkeeper: Peter Schmeichel, right back: Gary Neville, center back: Steve Bruce, Gary Pallist, left back: Dennis Elvin. Right midfielder: big David Beckham, midfielder, Roy Keane and Nicky Bart as partners, left midfielder: Ryan Giggs, forwards: Andy Cole and Brian McLell. Manchester United The formation is still the traditional 442, because of Cantona¡¯s suspension and the transfer of Mark Hughes to Chelsea in July. On the front line, we saw that Ferguson enabled Brian McLell, who has been in a state of decline for the past two years. With Manchester United¡¯s ¡ê850,000 top striker, he made 40 appearances last season but only scored five goals. Just three years ago, he could score more than 20 goals a season."


    "Manchester United''s strike line is worrying, so let''s take a look at Millwall''s lineup. They wear a traditional blue jersey. Starting goalkeeper: Catherine Keller, right back: Lilian Thuram, center Defender: Yap Stam, Gareth Southgate, left back: Lucas Neal, right midfielder: Bernd Schneider, midfielder: Claude Makelele, Pavel Nedved, left midfielder: Robert Pire, double forward is Henrik Larsson and David Trezeguet who frightened opponents in the Ligue 1 last season and they joined forces last season 66 goals have been scored! It is the king of efficiency in the Premier League. I just don¡¯t know if they come to the Premier League and can maintain their goal-scoring state."


    "Okay, spectators, the first round of the English Premier League in the 95/96 season is about to start. We saw that Millwall will kick off first and attack from the left side of the camera to the right."


    Players from both sides opened the battle to prepare for kickoff.


    Aldridge stood firm on the side of the court, looking at the direction of the middle circle and muttered: "Boys, come on!"


    Although it was only three months after his nineteenth birthday, he lived almost fifty years before and after. In his eyes, Millwall''s players are lads.


    As the referee who started law enforcement in England football in 74 years, Paul Dukin is extremely prestigious. Today, he is the referee in this game.


    With his whistle, the match between Manchester United and Millwall officially started.


    Trezeguet gently moved the ball under his feet, Larson returned home with a kick, the two forwards quickly ran forward, the ball returned to Nedved''s feet, the other two forwards of the opponent, Cole and McClaire also Already rushed up.


    Nedvide calmly passed the ball back to Makelele. The two Manchester United strikers continued to press forward. Makelele kicked the ball forward and easily avoided Nedved by cooperating with the two fronts. Feng''s snatch.


    Nedvide turned around, and not far away, Keen, the tycoon, also oppressed him. He made a diagonal pass and the ball rolled to the right. After the kick-off, Schneider received it on the right. For the ball, Giggs did not quickly enter the game after the opening, allowing Schneider to easily plug in and steadily stop the ball at his feet.


    Irving lowered his weight to prevent Schneider from breaking through after starting, but it was unexpected that Schneider stopped the ball two steps forward and directly passed the oblique long pass to the penalty area!


    Larson ran to the right to take Paliste away, and the ball passed the top of the two of them and flew towards the rear point.


    Trezeguet, who had formed a tacit understanding with Larson''s running position, appeared there. Bruce, who was thirty-five at the end of the year, didn''t expect the ball to fly to the penalty area just after the opening game. He just stood in position, Trezeguet. Just rushed past him!


    When the old Manchester United captain turned back to chase, Trezeguet had already stepped up and kicked off with a kick to accelerate the jump to the top of the ball!


    boom!


    Trezeguet''s big bald head and the ball have a perfect contact, and the angle is very good. Even when it is the top of the ball, he did not close his eyes. The determined eyes and the imposing momentum are simply beasts out of the cage!


    This is Old Trafford!


    Dream Theater!


    Returning to the European stage from Argentina is not a supporting role for anyone!


    What about Manchester United?


    I, David Trezeguet, are determined to be the best striker in the world!


    Invincible, why do you rule?


    The red devil''s Danish mythological door god, remember my name: David Trezeguet!


    When Trezeguet''s entire mermaid jumped out of the summit, Schmeichel was a little panicked with his arms wide open, and his wide pupil was full of incredible: how long did it open? The aftermath of the referee''s whistle seems to haunt my ears!


    Trezeguet''s header was as heavy as a volley shot with his foot. The angle was not tricky, but the speed was extremely fast, and he flew towards the near post.


    The trajectory of the ball was above Schmeichel''s head. He was not prepared enough. When the ball flew over his head, he realized that he jumped up and raised his hand to stop it, but everything was too late!


    Schmeichel fell back on the goal line, and the ball slowed down after hitting the net, spinning on the turf inside the goal and gently hitting Schmeichel''s head.


    Trezeguet fell to the ground after rushing to the top and kept looking at the trajectory of the ball. After seeing the ball enter, he wanted to climb but was so excited that he stumbled and slipped on the ground. The second time he climbed successfully, he Frantically roared and ran to the side coach''s coach side.


    Camera, roll over to me!


    Aim at the uncle!


    I am the protagonist of Dream Theater!

 Chapter 71： Take turns

    Dream Theater Old Trafford is dead!


    Manchester United fans were stunned. Even many of the fans who entered later were still looking for their seats, but stood in the aisle and stared blankly at the stadium.


    Millwall''s few thousands of fans were also stunned.


    As if everything is not true.


    Have we scored?


    So fast?


    real or fake?


    In the opening remarks of the live broadcast, Gray and Taylor said a lot. Both of them were ready to take a break and drink a spit, but they did not expect the goal to come so fast, so they quickly started a passionate commentary into the microphone.


    "Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Millwall scored the first attack on the opening! Let''s take a closer look at the whole process of this goal. Nedved scored the ball in the middle and Schneider inserted the ball in front. No breakthrough, Elvin did not rush to grab, Bart was running over to help defense, but Schneider made a long pass to pass the ball to the penalty area, cunning Larson''s early running position attracted Palister to the side There is a lot of free time in Manchester United, oh, Bruce is old, I have to admit, he is old! When the ball is already flying to the penalty area, he realized that he had to turn back and run back to stop Trezeguet, Trey Zegei broke the deadlock with a beautiful diving jump, Schmeichel had no choice but to get too close, even if the ball flew over him, Millwall, is this Millwall? Too difficult Believe it!"


    "Official statistics have not come out yet, but we can be sure by replay that the time of this goal was generated between 7 seconds and 8 seconds. There is no doubt that this is the fastest goal record in the Premier League, young Treze Guy, he has the potential to become a great shooter, young Millwall, Alan Hanson said half right, someone will scare his pants, but it can never be Millwall. Martin, is this goal an accident? ?"


    "Andy, I don¡¯t agree with the unexpected statement. By no means, analyzing the running position of Millwall players, it can be found that this is definitely an excellent offense, but the goal was scored on the first attempt and the goal was lost. It¡¯s Manchester United, and it¡¯s an accident that fans can comfort themselves, but I think it¡¯s Millwall¡¯s strength.¡±


    Trezeguet rushed to the visiting team''s coach seat. Millwall''s teammates rushed to him along the way. They have reason to excite and have reason to celebrate. This is the stage of the Premier League and Old Trafford. !


    Aldridge waved his arms. After seeing this goal, he was too excited to extricate himself, but he still restrained himself.


    Seeing Trezeguet ran over, Aldridge did not hide, Treizege jumped in front of him, Aldridge embraced him, and he backed up again and again. Fortunately, Jenson and Babu were in He supported his body in the back, otherwise he would fall back to the ground if he didn''t do well.


    The other players also rushed over, and everyone gathered in a ball, screaming and roaring to celebrate this doomed goal in history.


    Because this is the first Premier League goal in the history of Millwall Club.


    Whether the record of the fastest goals will be maintained in the future is hard to say, but it is enough to stay in the fans'' memory for a long time.


    After the players celebrated, Aldridge gritted his teeth and asked the players, "Now that we are ahead, what should we do? Remember what I said before the game?"


    Trezeguet, Nedved, Larson, Schneider and others all said the same: "Remember!"


    Never benevolent, stepped on Manchester United in one fell swoop!


    "Okay, let''s go, the game will not stop, our footsteps will not stop!"


    Aldridge was not stunned by the lead. At this time, if he is proud, then this goal is not only an advantage, but a bad sign of defeat.


    Millwall players walked towards the half with a spirit of enthusiasm, they would not despise every word Aldridge said, last season has proved Aldridge''s coaching ability, and this game, Aldridge The analysis at the pre-match meeting yesterday was very clear, and their tactics also worked.


    "Manchester United are two champions and one runner-up in the past three Premier Leagues. They are well-deserved powerhouses. Therefore, in the Premier League, especially in Old Trafford, the vast majority of teams are visiting here, after the opening Definitely will be based on defense, Manchester United will also control the game in their rhythm, they are accustomed to greet the enemy with a high attitude, we must beat them by surprise, from the first minute of the game to speed up the game rhythm, they thought we were like this Will be handcuffed or anxious, wrong! We will kick them from the comfortable position high above! Let them run behind our butt!"


    After the opening, the offensive was shown without temptation. Millwall players firmly executed Aldridge''s tactics, and in return, they scored an 8-second goal!


    The Manchester United players are ready for kick-off, and their expressions are still normal, just a little more serious.


    They are Manchester United. If they will be beaten by such a bad start, or mental breakdown, then they are not Red Devils, nor are they wearing Manchester United jerseys.


    Ferguson didn¡¯t even move even after losing the ball. He still sat in the coach seat chewing gum. He has been in this position for nine years. This is the tenth year. If Manchester United loses a ball, he will run to the sidelines. Yelling, then he had been fired.


    The control of the team, the red blood and the self-adjustment ability that are tuned are not just the superficiality of the player''s ability on the court.


    It can even be said that in the era of Ferguson, the Red Devils Manchester United did not necessarily excel in the players on the field, but the stronger spiritual attributes have made many unpretentious players possess a kingly temperament and become more technical and tactical in team operations.


    Manchester United reopened the ball, because the ball was dropped first, so the tentative stabilization of the rhythm slowly eliminated the opponent''s set, and Manchester United''s offensive posture was quickly pulled away, playing their best wings and flying together!


    Thuram despised some young Manchester United wing players, and on his side corresponds to a new generation of Welsh king, 21-year-old Giggs.


    After Giggs speeded up Thuram with a steering dribble, Thuram realized how stupid he was!


    Especially in the case where Aldridge had specifically advised Giggs before the game.


    Thuram''s contempt was only subconscious, he quickly repaired the sheep and quickly shoveled the ball from the side of the Giggs from the side.


    Aldridge saw this scene on the sidelines and said nothing. According to the previous defensive characteristics of Thuram, it is directly posted to eat Giggs with his body, which will not give the other party space to accelerate, but He was able to adjust quickly, without being clean, indicating that it was not too late for him to retreat from the cliff.


    Millwall''s midfield contraction and retracement are deep, because Manchester United has put a lot of pressure on the midfield, although Manchester United cannot find a good shooting opportunity.


    By this time, Millwall was truly learning the pace of the Premier League game.


    The player''s foot technology has a leap forward than the Premier League player. The speed, the rhythm of the ball''s operation, especially the long-range transfer of a large range. When it is free, it will be caught by Manchester United. Beckham''s long-pass transfer on the right The Keen, who can attack and defend well, is dispatched in the middle, and with the breakthrough of Giggs, the attack of the three people makes Millwall''s defensive players exhausted.


    Manchester United''s two-wing flying tactics are very mature, and rely on midfield scheduling, their control of the rhythm is difficult for other Premier League teams to match.


    The transfer frequency of the ball in the longitudinal direction is much greater than the blind direct transmission in the horizontal direction.


    Giggs crossed the middle, Bart stepped forward to receive the ball and gave it to Keane, Keene gave Beckham again, Beckham passed the ball to Cole who retreated, Cole could not turn around, the ball passed to the side again At the foot of Giggs.


    The large-scale vertical transfer of the ball back and forth is like a pendulum that swings constantly, making full use of the width of the court to play. This will inevitably cause the opponent''s overall formation to tilt to the side where the ball is located. When the opponent''s formation tilts at a slow speed When he moved the ball rate at Manchester United, it was empty, and it came out. At that time, the threat of flying together would suddenly increase.


    It is unrealistic to rely solely on a single line, or midfielder, or defender line to make up the width of the stadium from 70 to 80 yards. Only by investing more defensive players can the defensive emptiness during vertical transfer be blocked.


    Therefore, Millwall¡¯s two sidelines, Pire and Schneider, retreated very deep during defense. Nedvide and Makelele also established a barrier in front of the back line, counting on Makelele. The vertical sweeping of people back and forth kills Manchester United''s offense, which is just a fool''s dream.


    Despite Manchester United¡¯s advantage, Giggs and Beckham¡¯s side passes were unsatisfactory. Southgate and Stam firmly held the air control, and Cole pulled out of the penalty area, even if he took the ball. It is also impossible to turn around under the interference of Makelele, and the effect is not good.


    After containing Manchester United''s offensive, Millwall handed the ball to Nedved''s feet several times, but failed to counterattack the attack. Although Keane has the name of a villain, his defensive strength is obvious to all, plus A Bart who has attacked the weak and the strong, Manchester United firmly controls the midfield. When their attack is blocked, they will immediately grab the ball and organize the attack again.


    Millwall may only clearly realize the rhythm and strength of the Premier League team ten minutes after the opening. Nedved wanted to take the ball in the midfield and complete the turn to adjust and then organize the attack. It is impossible. Manchester United entered the game at the opening. A loophole in a slow state will not give him a second time.


    After Makelele cut off the ball from the foot of Giggs who cut in from the side, he did not pass it to Nedved, because Keane had already waited for the opportunity to steal the ball behind Nedved. Makelele crossed the ball Passed to the left.


    The teenager Neil was sober after taking the ball. Since the ball reached his feet instead of Nedved, then Millwall''s counterattack will change.


    Before Beckham came up to snatch, Neal passed the ball to Pires ahead, and then he quickly inserted.


    Beckham was just like when he faced Middlesbrough at Millwall last season. He turned around to grab Pires, but found that Pires and the forward Niall completed the simplest two-on-one and played him.


    Neal''s forward insertion was not expected by Manchester United. Beckham was left behind. Keane had to leave Nedved to start back defense. He chased to Neil, and Neil and Pire played on the sidelines. With the tacit cooperation, Keane couldn''t even touch the ball and could only watch Piley''s dribble into Manchester United''s half.


    Neville came up to block, Pire knocked the ball horizontally to Neil, Keane was ready to put a shovel, but Neal leaked, and the ball fell to Nedved in the high speed.


    Before Bart intercepted, Nedvide kept the ball straight and a ball was introduced into the penalty area.


    After Millwall counterattacked this half, Bruce followed Trezeguet closely and he would not make the same mistake again.


    However, before Nedved''s straight ball came, Nedved pulled to the left. Bruce followed involuntarily, but he was shocked to find that the ball passed into the penalty area from behind him, and the corner of his eye found that, There was a dark blue shadow behind him.


    Trezeguet and Larson cooperated so well that they would not grab the same spot on the court, and they would not overlap in position. During offense, there will always be a point of feinting as a link or response. A man who is the final word.


    This time, Trezeguet attracted Bruce¡¯s attention, and Larsson slanted into the restricted area after starting. Palistre followed closely. Larsson¡¯s characteristic was that he never dragged the mud, and the most simple Way to complete the offense.


    He never stopped the ball against Nedved''s straight throw. His swinging leg was a volley. After the ball was shot out, Paliste flew over and blocked the figure before he saw it.


    Schmeichel judged the right direction and swooped to his left. His body spread to the maximum, but his fingertips could not reach the ball.


    He turned his face on his face, and looked at the ball incrediblely at the other side of the net.


    In the opening 12 minutes, Millwall led the Red Devils Manchester United 2-0 away!

 Chapter 72： Offensive point of the double-edged sword

    Whether it is to ask Millwall or Manchester United fans, they guessed what the game will be like before the game. I am afraid no one can say such a subversive start.


    In 12 minutes, Millwall led Manchester United by two goals away!


    After Larson scored a goal, a relaxed attitude ran to the East Stand, where the gathered Millwall fans stood up and raised their arms and waved to celebrate Larson. They were so excited that they couldn¡¯t describe what they were thinking. happy.


    Two goals, two goals, we **** two goals ahead of the **** Manchester United!


    The teammates also gathered around, Larson turned to point at Nedved, the two hugged together, and Piray waved his fist towards the stands, indicating Millwall''s strength.


    "Andy, are we dreaming? The best team since the Premier League was founded, facing the first promotion to the Premier League for the first time, but the first 12 minutes but behind two goals at home, is this Manchester United? Or is it that both players wear Wrong jersey?"


    "Wonderful goal, wonderful goal, Martin, look at Millwall''s offense, steal the ball from Makelele, the ball passes under the feet of Neil, Pire, Nedvide, Larson, from Successfully defended to counterattack and scored, five people completed a gorgeous cooperation, no one sticked the ball too much, just passed the ball to his teammates, Manchester United¡¯s defensive players did not even have a chance to foul! Look at Trezeguet¡¯s run This guy not only scored, but also gave his teammates room to run out. Bruce was obviously still worried about the first goal drop, so he stared at Trezeguet but lost his position, Lal It¡¯s also a top performance to start kicking directly after Sen runs. Hasn¡¯t Manchester United been passing Larson in the summer? What are you hesitating? Isn¡¯t such a player exactly what Manchester United needs?¡±


    "But Manchester United can only play two strikers. After Cantona''s return from the ban, wouldn''t he put 6.5 million pounds of Cole on the bench?"


    "Oh, Ferguson can''t sit still! He looks pretty."


    When Aldridge and his coaching staff cheered on the sidelines, he simply enjoyed the moment.


    At Old Trafford, more than 60,000 Manchester United fans were silent.


    It is an achievement in itself to calm down this noisy stadium.


    When he celebrated the end, he saw Ferguson standing on the sidelines with his face, obviously dissatisfied with the disciples'' performance.


    Aldridge only glanced back and looked away. He looked calmly standing on the sidelines, but sneered in his heart.


    Old fox, don''t want to sit there comfortably and chew gum for 90 minutes and get 3 points!


    Millwall is almost the difference between Rice and Haoyue compared to Manchester United, but to despise us, we have to pay the price!


    Ferguson''s face was grim. He could not help glancing at Aldridge, who was calm and relaxed with his hands in his pockets. This dashing young man was wearing a slim suit and looked like a fashionista, but it is undeniable that he has tactical importance strength.


    Ferguson really didn''t underestimate Millwall, because he focused on Millwall''s players, like Nedved, if not Manchester United already have Keane and Bart, there is a Scholes on the bench, otherwise he Will definitely ask Nedved''s transfer feasibility.


    Last season''s Millwall, the frontcourt attacked the quintet, and the important bridge in the middle was Nedved. Ferguson let Keane focus on the Czech player before the game, but did not expect that this field In the game, Millwall''s offensive routine has a new point of attack.


    An unexpected point of attack: the full-back!


    Last season, Millwall never let the fullbacks boldly assist.


    But Lucas Neal just launched an attack from the left, and ran all the way to play smoothly with Pire and interfered with the defense in the hinterland of Manchester United, although the last pass was completed by Nedved, but if there is no Ni Earl stepped forward, attracting Keane''s attention. I''m afraid Nedved didn''t have a chance to complete the assist.


    Millwall not only became more and more mature in midfield and offensive cooperation, but now has added the elements of full-back attack, making their offensive routines more varied and varied.


    Aldrich, it really is a little fox. Behind that humble smile, there is already a dagger aimed at the heart of the enemy!


    The tactical game on the court is actually one attack and one defense. The pieces are equal. Whoever can hide the killer deeper, the one with the greatest chance of winning.


    Millwall wants to break through Manchester United with the five-man attacking team in the frontcourt, which is very unrealistic, especially because Manchester United has two defensive midfielders, Keane and Bart, and the role of Nedved will be cut. To the lowest, and this situation will appear more in the future, and even later opponents will restrict Nedved''s play in targeted deployments, so Aldridge has focused on creating a full-back since training this summer. Forward assists.


    In the future, the value of the full-backs will increase day by day, and the good full-backs are even more valuable. The biggest reason is that the forwards and midfielders are all targeted and the defenses are getting smaller and smaller and it is difficult to play a role in the front. With a lot of space and sufficient time to complete assists, the role of full-back will become more and more obvious, which is the trend of football tactics.


    Ferguson began to stand on the sidelines and the Manchester United players suffocated.


    Especially Bruce, he has to bear at least 1.5 responsibilities for two goals conceded.


    And after Manchester United reopened, Ferguson was shocked to find that once Millwall had the opportunity to attack, their offensive routine would lean to the left wing, and the focus was on playing the defensive link of Bruce!


    Aldridge saw Pirenet on the sidelines and flicked Bruce away after a long shot. Although the ball missed, he nodded.


    Seize the opponent''s seven inches and go to death!


    Who made Bruce 34 years old?


    The body can¡¯t keep up, turns slowly, and the frequency of the foot is slow. Even the judgment sometimes hesitates. The first two goals to hit him are also tactical arrangements before the game. The biggest weakness of the Manchester United defense is naturally young Gary. Neville and the old Steve Bruce side!


    By contrast, Palistre and Elvin were calmer, and Millwall would not take the initiative to bite hard.


    After Millwall led by two goals, Manchester United did not immediately counterattack. On the contrary, Millwall''s offensive was higher and higher, frequently opening the door of the attack with the left.


    Neal plugged in the assists, Nedvide also leaned over here, plus Piray, the three of them played a small shot in a small range and played well. Piret''s goal after two incuts made Gary ¡¤ Neville began to shrink, so when Pire took the ball for the third time, Neville had already prepared to block his inward route in advance, but Pire calmly turned the ball to the left for a point, seeing the ball was about to come out On the sideline, assisted Neal strode the ball forward and reached the bottom line.


    At the bottom line, Neal drove the ball into the penalty area.


    Trezeguet once again grabbed the head in front of Bruce, but the angle was already very small, and the header was out of the baseline.


    After completing the cross, Neal ran directly to the backcourt, ready to do his defensive job.


    This season, Aldridge told several defenders on the team well before the season. Neil, Zambrotta, and Capdevila, who will enter the first team in the second half of the season, the three will share the appearance. Opportunity, rotation is a must, they are young, so every race runs as hard as possible.


    Seeing the offense from the left attacking off the court, Aldridge looked at Beckham deliberately.


    see it?


    This is the trend of football in the future. The full-back is straight up and down. Do you think the main task of the full-back is not defense?


    Look at the road to your right, what was Millwall doing?


    If you can keep up with Neal''s running rhythm and be familiar with such straight up and down, you can not only make up for Neville''s lack of experience, but also win a better evaluation for yourself!


    Playing football not only depends on beautiful feet, no one can avoid the dirty work!


    Ferguson watched on the sidelines for ten minutes. He was stunned and he found Millwall''s offensive routine. Then, taking the opportunity of a dead ball, he immediately began to give players opportunities on the sidelines.


    Opportunities and risks coexist.


    Beckham couldn''t retreat deeper to complete the defense. Ferguson couldn''t shout a few words on the sidelines to make Beckham immediately transform. He can only make up for the weak defense on the side by assisting the midfielders.


    In particular, after making sure that Makelele rarely forwards assists, Ferguson asked Bart to mark Nedved and Keane to make up for the defense on the right.


    When Neal stepped forward again to cooperate with Piley, he took the ball a big step and then was decisively cut by Keane. Then, Keane passed the ball directly to Beckham.


    "What a fool? Boy, go up!"


    After Keane passed the ball and found that Beckham was slow to deal with the ball, he immediately roared angrily.


    Beckham was a little embarrassed after 2:0. He embarrassedly found that he was not attacking. He returned to the defense and was unable to do so. He attacked, and his back was bigger. He retreated, but he was not comparable to Neal¡¯s sprint and Pires had an advantage in position behind him.


    But after taking the ball now, he found himself suddenly cheerful.


    Yeah, Neal assists and Millwall has one less guard on the left!


    After being roared by Keane, Beckham immediately took the ball forward, even though he was not as fast as Giggs and lightning, but it was not slow. After all, the frontcourt was very empty.


    Makelele saw that Nedvide returned to the defense with Keane, and immediately decisively went to reinforce the left, intending to contain Beckham''s attack.


    Beckham saw Makelele rushing towards himself, and immediately stopped the ball at his feet. Last season''s experience at Millwall, he knew how good Makelele''s defensive skills are. His smart way is to be caught by the opponent. Pass the ball immediately before getting close.


    But to whom? Keane was stared at by Nedvide, and if he passed the penalty area directly, he would definitely return without success.


    At this moment, someone in the middle beckoned, and Beckham immediately passed the ball with a half-height.


    Bart came forward decisively and inserted an assist. After receiving Beckham''s pass, he ran into the opponent''s penalty area.


    Bart takes the ball, Giggs is on the left, Cole and McLair are in the penalty area, Millwall has only Thuram, Stam, Southgate.


    Manchester United counterattack, four hits three!

 Chapter 73： No reason to reason!

    The full-backs stepped forward and assisted with a double-edged sword. After making good use of it, he smashed eight hundred self-inflicted injuries.


    Lucas Neal was intercepted as soon as he passed the middle lap. Millwall''s offense was still in the making. Turning his head, Manchester United''s counterattack was under the city!


    Bart took the ball to the front of the penalty area. He had a lot of space to take the ball and he had plenty of time to observe the situation.


    Giggs formed a pair with Thuram on the side and canceled each other. In fact, in the middle of the penalty area, it was a Manchester United three-two situation.


    McClaire seemed invisible for the first 30 minutes, but this time, he cleverly ran to the left and made a posture that he waited for the ball to be passed by his teammate. Stam naturally followed closely. In front of him, Bart made a choice and dribble forward to the right.


    Cole also pulled out, leaning on Southgate behind him, Bart passed the ball to Cole, and then continued to run forward to the right, as if to make a two-on-one cooperation, Cole also decisively dialed the ball Bart''s front.


    Southgate can only turn around to block Bart in desperation. If he is allowed to go to the ball again, it will be a single-handed ball, even though the shooting angle may not be much.


    But he just moved, Bart cleverly knocked the ball back to Cole, Cole has turned around, and Southgate has lost his position, giving him enough space to go forward. And at the same time made adjustments, Andy Cole pulled his legs and shot anger!


    The ball rolled into Millwall''s goal like a cannonball against the turf, and Keller fell to the ground for a slow shot.


    "Beautiful shot! Manchester United pulled one back! Andy Cole''s calm shot did not disappoint the efforts of his teammates, the main credit for this ball should be counted on Niki Bart''s head, his front plug should tear off Millwall The defense line, with Cole¡¯s tacit cooperation, created a scoring opportunity for the latter, will Manchester United reverse it? At least Millwall should be nervous."


    "Martin, should Millwall give up and allow Neil to continue to attack? If he does not step forward, Manchester United will not have this opportunity to fight back. Obviously, if he makes a mistake, or if he goes forward to participate in the attack and he cannot return in time, Then Manchester United has a clear advantage in the counterattack. The vertical space of Millwall¡¯s back line will be very large. For a team like Manchester United who is good at playing on the sidelines, this is a fatal loophole."


    "I don¡¯t know, I don¡¯t know, Aldridge¡¯s team has already surprised us. Who knows what Millwall will do next, all we need to do is to appreciate this game, I believe the next five More than ten minutes of competition will be more exciting."


    Cole did not celebrate after scoring a goal, ran to the goal and held the ball in his arms and ran to the backcourt, as did other Manchester United teammates, who had no intention of celebrating at all.


    Only one was pulled back, and it was still too early for the carnival!


    Ferguson''s face was better, while Aldridge''s face was calm.


    It was indeed Neal''s mistake that caused the team to concede the ball, but this is inevitable.


    There is no need to pay for a mature process without any tactics.


    Therefore, Aldridge has been careful to change the team, and he has never carried out drastically, and the full-backs stepping forward and assisting is not to tell the players the tactical analysis to make the players perfect.


    It takes experience to determine when to move forward to assist, and it is also important for teammates to change their defensive position after the full-backs step forward.


    In fact, the clever way just now is that after Manchester United strengthened the defense on the right, Millwall should turn the offensive to his right and focus on Manchester United¡¯s right, so that even if the effect of the left is not played, it can be exhausted and run back and forth vertically. Keane and Bart, and from them can find the flaws in the middle.


    But the cautious Aldridge is only focused on creating an attack on the left, because Pires has a stronger ability to cut inside than Schneider, and has a stronger scoring ability into the penalty area. Threats, let Thuram and Schneider play the same cooperation on the right side, I am afraid it will be unsatisfactory. This is the problem of the player''s feeling in different areas. The closer Schneider is to the hinterland of the penalty area, the smaller his threat is. The assist on the wing is unquestionable, but it is difficult for a strong man to model him as a modern winger who can directly deter the goal.


    Moreover, the two sides give tactical instructions to insert assists at the same time, it is difficult to ensure that the attack will not be confused in the early stage, and tactical changes require a process of adaptation and running-in.


    Old Trafford applauded and encouraged the Red Devils to make persistent efforts.


    Neil was frustrated, but he quickly raised his head to cheer up. He was also a tough guy. There was nothing to let go. The mistake was a mistake, and he couldn''t be guilty. The boss said in training, boldly assisting Go up, don''t be afraid of mistakes.


    Failure is the mother of success. It¡¯s no big deal for a young player to make a mistake.


    With the previous goal conceded, Neal settled down on the wing, temporarily doing his own defensive work, firmly staring at Beckham, don''t look at his younger than Beckham, but he is a tough player on the court General, the kicking method is extremely aggressive, and the body is also extremely strong. After a violent bang, he fights his body, and Beckham can''t hold back.


    The rhythm of the game is very fast from the first minute, not only because Millwall is fast in the offense, but also because they go all out in defense and force the Manchester United players to not stick the ball too much, otherwise it will Fall into the predicament of being forced by the double-entry.


    After Manchester United''s right threat was lifted, Keane and Nedvide again faced each other, and the two frequently confronted each other in the midfield.


    Nedved fell, climbed up, fell down, climbed up, Keane went to hit Nedved but accidentally fell, and also got up, Keane took the ball, Nedved went to grab, Kee Eun was knocked over, climbed up without hesitation, fell down, climbed up, fell down, climbed up...


    The jerseys of the two are the dirtiest, almost like having participated in a wrestling match in the mud.


    After frequent confrontation, Keane couldn''t help but glance at Nedved, who was silent and focused on the game, and secretly said: Is this still not a person?


    Even though he is a butcher, he is also an iron man. If he knocks over his opponent and the other party rolls and hurts in the place, he will spit out a few words of spit and disdain, and he is too lazy to despise the other party. , He can shovel directly at the opponent¡¯s leg, and he admitted with all sincerity: Laozi just wants to break your leg!


    But when he met Nedved, an opponent who fell to the ground and climbed up to continue fighting, Keen felt a sense of admiration.


    His mother finally saw a real man.


    Admiration is admired, but the intensity of the confrontation will not decrease!


    Hard hit, see who is harder!


    Because of the conservative side, Nedved was entangled by Keane in the middle. Piret and Schneider''s retreat to take the ball was not ideal. At the end of the first half, Manchester United formed a frontcourt suppression. They I am more familiar with this stadium, and I have a better understanding. I can control the ball better at the foot between three passes.


    Bart passed the ball to Giggs, who leaned forward in the middle. Giggs did not go to the left after taking the ball. Obviously, he did not dominate the game with Thuram. Although he has a speed advantage, Thuram defends The characteristic is that without pulling away the distance, the body is used to get the position first, even if the ball passes, people have to stay.


    So Giggs took the ball to the middle, and passed the ball to Beckham, who also walked the middle of the road about 35 yards outside the penalty area. The two teammates of Class 92 completed an exquisite cooperation. Beckham Faced with the ball, he chose the pass without hesitation, and the ball flew lightly into Millwall''s penalty area.


    To whom does the ball pass?


    Stam wanted to clear the header, but he was blocked by McClel''s body around him, and the opponent pulled his jersey. He forcibly jumped but couldn''t jump the highest without touching the ball. The ball was ten centimeters above his head. The distance flew towards the diagonal rear.


    After Giggs passed the ball, he quickly inserted into the penalty area. The speed was very fast. Thuram assisted the defense into the penalty area and killed from the side. Giggs just stopped the ball in the chest. He didn''t wait for the ball to land and he fell heavily into the penalty area. , And Thura kicked the ball out of the penalty area from the side of his body.


    Unexpectedly, at this time, referee Paul Dukin blew the game and reached for the penalty spot.


    Thuram held his head in disbelief and complained innocently to the referee.


    "Penalty! Du Jin awarded a penalty and Manchester United had a chance to equalize the score in the first half stoppage time! It can be seen from the slow motion playback that Thuram knocked down Giggs from the side and back, this Penalties are not controversial."


    Aldrich appealed to the fourth official on the sidelines.


    "Hello, the opponent''s Keane knocked down my player countless times in the midfield once and twice. The referee didn''t blow once. I didn''t say anything. This is the Premier League standard, but **** my defender is fighting for the ball. What is Manchester United¡¯s striker doing? He didn¡¯t take off, but instead interfered with my player¡¯s take-off. Obviously there was a move to pull the jersey! Isn¡¯t that a foul? The referee should award McLayer a foul in the penalty area. It¡¯s not a penalty that happened later!"


    Aldridge complained to the fourth official with one hand on his hips, but he didn''t seem to want to listen.


    Millwall¡¯s players were also talking to the referee Dukin¡¯s theory. Obviously Stam was disturbed when he took off, and McClaire¡¯s action was not concealed. If there is no interference, Stam can easily head the ball and make a clearance. .


    Du Jin shook his head in disregard of the complaints of everyone and made a "go away" gesture.


    Southgate persuaded his teammates away, and then he calmly talked with the referee alone, but the referee Du Jin just shook his head, and finally showed Southgate a yellow card.


    Aldrich saw this scene on the sidelines and shouted angrily at the fourth official: "Is this **** fascist dictator? Didn''t you even give a word?"


    "Mr. Hall, please pay attention to the words, I will write all this in the competition report."


    "You''d better write in without saying anything! I will also write, you **** give Manchester United a penalty!"


    Aldridge sneered and turned away, he had already seen the referee running towards him.


    Du Jin warned Aldridge, Aldridge said nothing coldly in the laughter of Manchester United fans.


    In the stands, Melanie, like Millwall fans, gave her boo to the referee Du Jin with all her strength, and she pursed her lips, feeling that Audridge was a bit distressing at the moment, but more like he was like a real Man, because he stands upright and stands on the sidelines!


    Cole, who took the penalty, scored the goal and the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half.


    After 45 minutes, Manchester United brought the game back to the starting point!

 Chapter 74： Talented people in football

    At the end of the first half, the players walked towards the player''s channel. The expressions of the players on both sides were normal. Millwall was just a little bit angry.


    Aldridge walked from the side to the player channel, and the fans in the stands stood out and made various actions against him.


    Booing, cheering, applauding sarcasm, abusing, mocking, and even yelling at him: "London boy, happy early? We will not be easily defeated by Manchester United, what about two goals ahead? When the game ends, you guys Cry back to London!"


    Aldridge moved indifferently, and he did not care about the pressure on the United fans. It was the most stupid behavior to compete with the fans.


    After returning to the locker room, Aldridge first looked at the status of the players. They were not bad. The fighting spirit did not go down. Obviously, they can compete with opponents of the level of Manchester United.


    It''s just that Trezeguet''s breathing rate is obviously faster than others. Even though he recovered his physical condition through pre-season training, he still has some difficulties in such a fast-paced game. The indulgence of the summer holiday still has sequelae.


    Aldridge took a pen and drew a simple matchup on the tactical board, then circled Neal''s position and turned back to Neal and said: "Forget about the first half, continue to assist in the second half, don''t have a psychological burden ."


    Neal nodded fiercely. At the end of the first half, he did fear that he would make a mistake when he stepped forward again, so he stayed behind.


    Aldridge didn''t say what he said. In fact, he was responsible for half of the ball lost after Neil''s mistake.


    "Claude, if the first goal loss occurs again in the first half, then you don¡¯t have to intercept the opponent¡¯s counterattack in the first place, and move back and forth, even if you return to the penalty area, to ensure that we are the most dangerous in front of the goal. There will be no disadvantage in the number of people in the area, which will reduce the offensive space before the opponents come to the penalty area."


    Aldridge gave Makelele an explanation. The players raised their heads and looked at Aldridge in unison. When he saw him, he only smiled faintly. For some reason, they felt that Aldrich¡¯s aura of charm seemed to increase again.


    In fact, in Aldrich¡¯s previous tactical layout, once the wing was counterattacked, Makelele¡¯s task had to be intercepted for the first time, but the effect was not good. After all, the width of the stadium was placed there, and Manchester United flew together. Tactics, based on Makelele¡¯s two legs, naturally there is no football to run fast. It is precisely such a tactical error as Aldridge. Makelele went to intercept Beckham, but the middle of the road was empty, creating Bart¡¯s attack. opportunity.


    Aldrich''s midfield adjustment is to overthrow his previous tactical arrangements. He has nothing to be ashamed of. Mistakes, no one will have them. The mistakes are not terrible. The terrible thing is that they do not admit their mistakes and do not repent.


    After being counterattacked, make Makelele retreat near the penalty area first, so that even if Manchester United''s counterattack hits the penalty area, even if there is a number advantage, Millwall''s defensive line will not be too large, which can minimize the longitudinal offensive space. .


    After making some specific tactics in the midfield, Aldridge once again instigated the player''s fighting spirit and praised their 45-minute performance in the first half, hoping to continue in the second half.


    The intermission ended quickly, and the players walked out of the locker room again.


    Aldrich returned to the side of the coach and stood with his hands in his pockets, his chin slightly undone. This gesture gave the players a sense of confidence.


    His contagion has subtly influenced the team within a year.


    If the coach is a counselor and shrinks to defend when he comes to Old Trafford, even without the courage to challenge, then it is considered to be the best contemporary players such as Aldrich Matteus, Baggio, Maldini, etc. Maybe it will be a fiasco.


    Ferguson sat on the coach''s seat again, chewing gum as if returning to the calm state before the game began.


    The referee Du Jin blew the whistle at the start of the second half and Manchester United kicked off.


    Although the game was a draw, there was only 45 minutes left for Manchester United. They obviously would not want to lose points in the first round of the league, especially at home against the newly promoted team.


    Therefore, Manchester United''s attack was very fierce, and Millwall could only withdraw his defense at the beginning of the second half.


    Aldridge looked at the game on the sidelines, and suddenly felt that Manchester United''s formation was a bit strange. The number of red jerseys in front of him was different from the first half.


    This is caused by the visual sense. He stares at the midfield, then the players at the ends of the stadium have only a blurry shadow in the afterglow of the eyes, and most of the time, he looks at the local competition between the two teams, Manchester United players and Millwall Players, the numbers of red and blue figures are roughly equal, but they are just constantly moving.


    But he suddenly felt that Manchester United had more players involved in the offense than in the first half!


    Who?


    The extras are bound to be strange soldiers!


    He looked closely and found that a Manchester United player moved from the backcourt to the frontcourt unobtrusively.


    Left back, Elvin.


    When Aldridge discovered this, he saw that Schneider was squeezing Thuram to grab Giggs who had just received the ball. Aldridge had a bad heart and was too late to yell to remind the players. Swan gently passed the ball to the right. After Elvin started, he led the ball from Giggs''s right five meters and strode forward.


    "Intercept him!"


    Aldridge growled.


    When the players are highly focused, it is impossible to hear Aldridge''s shouts. Even if they hear it, it is difficult to respond quickly.


    While Schneider and Thuram found that Giggs and Elvin had cooperated, the two almost responded subconsciously.


    Thuram has the advantage of intercepting position, he gave up Giggs, Schneider also directly started running back to fill the empty space left by Thuram, which allowed the start of the forward Giggs after the pass. None can have a position advantage.


    Thuram decisively accelerated to grab Elvin directly from the side. He stretched his thigh in front of the opponent and then snatched the ball in front of the opponent, but Elvin was knocked to the ground.


    Du Jin blew the game, schematic Ram foul.


    Thuram angrily and helplessly bent over to hold the ball in his hand, and finally dropped the ball on the ground.


    Dujin showed Thuram a yellow card.


    Aldridge smiled angrily on the sidelines, nodding and applauding.


    Oh shit!


    Even if Thuram''s movements were a little big, could it be bigger than Roy Keane''s direct movement towards Nedved?


    The foul location is not bad, right in front of the Millwall penalty area, about 30 yards from the goal.


    Beckham takes the free kick.


    Aldrich''s scalp is numb.


    If the team faces a free kick master, the head coach has nothing to do.


    Put more people on the wall? Or tell the goalkeeper which side?


    To what extent Beckham''s free-kick technology has reached today, Aldridge is not sure. At Millwall last season, his free-kick can only be considered good.


    Defensive direct free kicks do not have too many complicated tactics. The angle of the human wall blocking the near goal post, the goalkeeper blocking the far goal post, the reason is also very simple. The human wall sets a barrier on the straight line closest path between the ball and the goal. The player Taking off to expand the defense area, the goalkeeper defends the far end, if the ball hits the far corner, the flight time is longer, leaving the goalkeeper more reaction time.


    Millwall set up a wall of people, and other players stared at Manchester United offensive players ambushing in and outside the penalty area.


    Beckham stood quietly behind the ball, looking at the wall in front of him, all familiar faces.


    In Millwall''s five-month life, he was satisfied with everything except the ending.


    But the thing that annoys him most is Aldridge''s roar at him in the locker room.


    Beckham, who was selected as a child by Manchester United, naturally grew up in pride, but Aldridge left a lingering shadow in his heart.


    He needs to prove himself, especially in front of the young commander.


    Bright and upright, he told him proudly: You are wrong!


    Du Jin''s whistle rang, and Old Trafford was silent.


    Under the spotlight, Beckham approached, supported the left leg of the leg, and stepped on the stepping point. At the same time, the left arm raised a curve on the left side of the body to ensure that the body remained balanced after a large tilt to the left. The ball hit the ball perfectly, and after the force is exerted, a huge friction is formed.


    The kicked ball started to fly with a strong spin.


    The wall jumped, Southgate jumped to the extreme, but could not touch the ball.


    Seeing that the ball is flying high, but after crossing the wall, it began to spin and fall, the exaggerated arc like a slanting rainbow.


    When the wall hit the ground, Millwall players looked at the goal. The goalkeeper Keller was stunned and kept his head turned. He saw the ball lying quietly in the net nest. The red waves in the old Trafford stand lifted up the mountain. The cheers of the tsunami shook the sky!


    Bayesian arc, rising rivers and lakes!


    "3:2! Manchester United reversed the score right after the opening of the second half. They successfully took back the initiative from the bad situation behind two goals! This free kick is so beautiful, the trajectory is pleasing to the eye."


    "It''s simply art! David Beckham, this young player has just manifested his value just after becoming the main force of Manchester United. Alan Hansen, you underestimated this group of children. Beckham''s free kick is enough Long aftertaste!"


    Beckham smiled, opened his arms brazenly and smiled proudly at the stands!

 Chapter 75： Self-destructing Great Wall

    Not only Beckham, Ferguson also smiled, and applauded his performance.


    Everything seems to be back on track, back to the familiar rhythm of the Red Devils Manchester United.


    In the second half, Manchester United just scored a goal and reversed the poor start of two goals. With nearly 40 minutes remaining in the game, Manchester United made a substitution first.


    In the first half, the stealth striker McClaire was replaced by Scholes.


    Seeing this substitution, Aldridge also found that Ferguson had the opportunity to teach his disciples on the sidelines. He understood that Ferguson wanted to stabilize the game rhythm.


    Manchester United is ahead. Millwall will be in a hurry. Scholes can strengthen the control of the midfield. Inserting an attack in the back row is also a good counterattack.


    At this time, Scholes'' position has not been fixed in the midfield. He is closer to the penalty area in the game. In the next two years in history, Manchester United striker Scholes before the arrival of York and Cole to form the black wind. The voice among the fans is high, that is, let him replace Cole, who is not seen by the fans, to play the striker.


    The team fell behind, two goals ahead to one goal behind, how much will be hit by three consecutive goals?


    At least the Millwall players did not shake their confidence. They set up their formation immediately after losing the ball, waiting for the kick-off of the middle circle.


    Aldridge is very pleased. In the past year of the Premier League, Millwall''s young team is most confident in scoring!


    They scored 127 goals in the Ligue 1 last season. Counting cups, the total number of goals exceeded 140. The goal was not a problem for them.


    Be an egg behind!


    In the stands, Manchester United fans began to sing songs with great momentum.


    In the East Stand, Millwall fans were a bit dazed. The two-ball lead was reversed, leaving the stand silent.


    Brady looked at the left and right, and suddenly clenched his fists in front of him, and sang: "No one likes us, we don''t care! No one likes us, we don''t care!"


    He looked at the left and right, repeating constantly, and gradually, Millwall''s neat song rang loudly from the East Stand.


    Although the fans of the two sides did not have any disputes in the stands, behind the peace of peace, Manchester United fans disregarded Millwall fans. They were like big wealthy men. Millwall was like a ragged street. Is it necessary for the beggars to keep an eye on the food? Didn''t that stain your own eyes, dirty your hands, and degrade your name?


    After Aldridge saw Scholes playing, Manchester United tried to play Millwall in the midfield by falling feet. He paced casually on the sidelines and sneered in his heart: Is the game over? Old fox, you made a mistake that may not be able to make up!


    When Manchester United tried to control the midfield and stabilize the rhythm, Millwall''s players were crazy but orderly organized, so that Manchester United could not even control the game for a minute!


    Scholes took the ball at the foot and intended to return Keane directly, but Makelele stretched his foot, the ball bounced to the left, Beckham just stopped the ball, Neal came forward and made a precise steal to the ball Beckham, who was staggering and crumbling under his feet, was unable to return.


    Neil once again hit the frontcourt, and the speed of the ball did not slow down.


    Bart closely followed Nedved, Keane had rushed to the defense, and after Neil and Pire completed a two-on-one, Neal took two steps on the left in front of the penalty area, Gary Neville stood still Location, while preventing Piray from entering the restricted area.


    In the first half, Millwall has been focusing on the left attack. It has already made Manchester United''s defense line start to turn right. In addition to Neil with Neville in the eyes of Neville, it is Piret not far away, which is enough to keep him in the back.


    Bruce and Paliste personally watched Trezeguet and Larson, and the two forwards ran to the left side in unison, trying to form an offensive number advantage locally, and the two defenders naturally followed.


    When Neil had no room for the ball, Neville was ready to grab, but he saw Neil knocked the ball across the middle.


    The Manchester United defense was shocked. Was it passed to Nedved?


    They turned their heads, and Nedved did not come up, but attracted Bart''s attention.


    But on the course of the ball rolling towards the middle, a Millwall player was rushing.


    Who?


    Bernd Schneider!


    The German teenager who had no bright spots after assisting Trezeguet in the opening 8 seconds unexpectedly appeared at the front of the penalty area!


    Ferguson used Elvin''s assists to win a free kick and relaxed his defense against Schneider.


    When Manchester United''s defense line leaned to the right, the two forwards attracted the central defender''s attention through the running position. Schneider came to the middle and unmarked, and Elvin rushed to make up the defense.


    Faced with this ball, Schneider clearly remembered the tactical requirements issued by Aldridge.


    Focusing on the weak link of Manchester United''s right defense is the main melody of the first half, and when Manchester United started to strengthen the right defense, Schneider had a broader space by leaning towards the center.


    After appearing in this position, he can choose to cooperate again, or he can shoot long shots himself! Whatever it is, don''t hesitate!


    Looking at the Manchester United defense that opened the middle of the road, Schneider''s eyes were firm. He had been watching before he ran to the receiving position. Trezeguet and Larson ran to the left before the ball rolled to the right. Palliste had given up Larson and rushed towards him.


    Pass it to Larson?


    But Kong Dang is still too small.


    Schneider decisively chose his long shot.


    The boss said that the match with Manchester United is the key battle to match the Millwall level!


    To appear here, you must have the strength to deserve this kind of war!


    Schneider knew that he was not as capable of dribbling inward and deep into the penalty area as the left-wing Piley, but he had a strong and persistent heart.


    I must be worthy of such a battle!


    Boss, look with your eyes wide open, I will not let you down!


    Schneider had adjusted his step when the ball rolled in front of him, his right leg bowed and shot hard!


    The perfect shooting posture, the figure is fixed in the moment of strong and great shore.


    Schneider roared in the bottom of my heart: Damn the ball, roll me into the goal of Manchester United, I don¡¯t know who his name is Schmeichel, even if it¡¯s a god, don¡¯t want to stop Millwall from putting it high. Manchester United, step on your feet!


    boom!


    As if the ball of the cannonball did not rotate at all, a straight line from bottom to top was swept straight to the upper left corner of the Manchester United goal in the blink of an eye!


    Schmeichel flew out, but the angle was too tricky, he couldn''t reach the ball at all.


    When, the dull voice appeared particularly abrupt on the court.


    The ball hit the beam, but it hit the lower edge of the beam, and then the ball bounced into the net.


    Schneider, who gritted his teeth, saw the ball hit the goal, he clenched his fists to vent, cheered, and then turned to open his arms and ran to the coach seat.


    Old Trafford fell into silence again, the Red Devils stunned.


    That world wave, really **** impeccable, makes people envious!


    Millwall fans in the East Stand roared in unison and waved their arms in the stands.


    "Beautiful long shots, wonderful world waves! Another genius in Germany can go to the world! His name is Bernd Schneider! What kind of magic is Aldridge? Why are his players amazing? What¡¯s more exciting is that we can see that Millwall¡¯s fighting spirit after being reversed, they seem not to be affected by losing three consecutive goals, patiently and purposefully attack, and complete the goal again!"


    "Martin, you''re right! I once suspected that Schneider was only lucky to complete an assist, but obviously not. Millwall''s offensive tactics are really one-by-one. Their main goal is to grab Manchester United. Weakness, Bruce is no longer able to cope with the impact of strong forwards, and when the Manchester United defensive line begins to make up for this weakness, the other side of the defense has a loophole, young Neal will pass the ball to the right at that position, it must be the main The coach arranged, otherwise he will continue to complete the offensive cooperation directly with Pire or the striker, but his cross pass just caught the flaw of the Manchester United defense. Millwall''s attack this time is not a separate or accidental, it is The opportunity created by their first 55 minutes of hard work!"


    "Manchester United just wanted to stabilize the game rhythm and took the opponent''s nose, but they were wrong. The game rhythm couldn''t be controlled at all, Millwall stubbornly said no to Manchester United!"


    Aldridge smiled, and the coaches and replacements behind him rushed out to welcome Schneider who ran like a hero, and they held a roar to celebrate.


    After the crowd dispersed, Aldridge sorted out his suit a little, and his heart was still full of firm belief in victory.


    Half of Manchester United''s goal drop is that they self-destruct the Great Wall.


    Want to stabilize the game rhythm?


    What a joke.


    The players on the field were highly concentrated from the first second of the game and ran with all their strength. The body was in an extremely excited state. Manchester United was planning to slow down when it took the lead, and the body state suddenly stopped. Warm up time.


    Just now Neal cut off Beckham''s ball. In a sense, Beckham softened and handled the ball slowly. Even Keane and other defensive players who chased back were obviously slower than Millwall''s offensive players. Shoot!


    And Schneider''s power at this point is not an accident.


    Millwall''s frontcourt offensive had a very skilled set in the First Division. The two flank sounds were already handy, but today, facing Manchester United, the attack on the left is not a feint, but a punch. Attack.


    Ignoring Ferguson''s expression at the moment, Aldridge made a substitution adjustment after equalizing the score.


    During the intermission, the whole team warmed up on the sidelines. At the beginning of the second half, Solskjaer, Barak, and Vieira continued to warm up.


    At this time, Aldridge replaced Trezeguet with Solskjaer.


    Trezeguet lowered his head after the end of the game, Aldridge greeted him and smiled at him: "Do you know why you came down?"


    Trezeguet raised his head and said with some shame: "Boss, I know."


    He obviously couldn''t keep up with the rhythm of the game. When Manchester United attacked, his role of retreating harassment was diminishing. He intended to replace him in 60 minutes. Aldridge was still three minutes ahead.


    Aldridge patted his shoulder and smiled: "It''s good to understand."


    Trezeguet took the coat from Craig and put it on, and sat down with his teammates after high-fiving, secretly making up his mind to go back and train harder.


    Today''s game with Manchester United made him understand how fierce the game between the strong teams and how fast the rhythm is. It was not comparable to last year''s match with Middlesbrough.

 Chapter 76： Steel Lion

    Manchester United was hit hard again in the gesture of winning, and this blow made them not slow down in a short time.


    Not only failed to control the rhythm, but also lost control of the midfield!


    Solskjaer played a second striker position after playing, and did not replace Trezeguet and rushed to the front line directly. Larsen alone was at the forefront of the attack.


    Makelele, Nedved, and Solskjaer withdrew, the three dispatched from the joint side, played a wonderful cooperation in a row, oppressed Manchester United exhausted.


    Schneider took the ball from the sidelines and Larson cleverly grabbed the header and nodded the goal. This was the goal, but Schmeichel made a world-class save and flew the ball out of the bottom line.


    The corner kicked out, Palistre made a header and Solskjaer, who ran out of the penalty area, hit the goal and missed a little.


    Millwall''s offensive was raging, and there was a rush in front of Manchester United.


    Ferguson couldn''t sit up anymore, he walked to the side of the court, pointing loudly at the player and starting to direct.


    Before the return of Manchester United''s spirit and spirit, Millwall''s long attack, and the sky was up, they were once again ahead!


    In the middle road is just a simple fit.


    Nedved quickly forwarded to Pire''s pass, and then passed to the retreating forward, but the forward who withdrew from the front line made some of Manchester United''s back line unexpected: Larson.


    Both Bruce and Paliste focused their attention on Larson. Between the lightnings, Larson ran back. They froze for a moment. Larson took the ball and knocked the heel of the ball. The ball came from Palister. Rolling over with Bruce, while Solskjaer rushed into the penalty area to hit the ball and kicked, Schmeichel no matter how, both hands could not extend to the goal post on both sides of the goal.


    The ball reached the dead end, and Solskjaer was hit by Bruce after finishing the shot.


    "My God! How many goals will be scored in this game? In the 73rd minute of the game, Millwall is leading again! Larson and Solskjaer have completed the transposition. Surskaya unexpectedly advanced into the penalty area, and Larsson''s withdrawal made the Manchester United''s back line temporarily distracted. In this way, Manchester United was punished, Solskjaer, which is another impressive A deep striker, he kicked very decisively and calmly in the penalty area. The shot shot did not look fast, but the angle was excellently grasped. Schmeichel was too embarrassed today. This is not to blame him. Millwall¡¯s progress The ball is brilliant."


    Solskjaer got up from the ground with a confident and happy smile on the doll''s face. Like Aldridge on the sidelines, he raised his hands and clenched his fists like a declaration of victory!


    Aldridge waved his fist firmly, this goal was wonderful.


    After changing to Solskjaer, Milwall¡¯s formation has changed from 442 to 4231. Solskjaer ambushed behind Larson as a shadow striker, but he and Larson are more subtle. They can swap positions and are caught off guard by playing Manchester United in a flash.


    The old Scottish man was furious!


    Ferguson''s face was green on the sidelines, his eyes were roaring sharply at the players, and the instructions of the big hand waving were very clear: attack! You **** attack me!


    Two goals were conceded in the opening 12 minutes, and Manchester United had nearly 80 minutes to chase.


    But now there are less than 20 minutes left in the game, and there is not much time left for Manchester United. Especially after this goal loss, many Manchester United players'' faces are showing a daze. It seems that they don''t know what to do next!


    Fortunately, Ferguson''s influence on the sidelines, the players quickly woke up from the nightmare, the blood of the Red Devils again boiling.


    Millwall fans sang in the stands.


    Who dares to underestimate us?


    What''s wrong with Manchester United?


    The red lion stepped on the crazy lion!


    Aldrich''s instructions to the team are also very simple. Like Ferguson, he also allows the players to continue to strengthen the offense without showing any weakness!


    The situation at this time is: who will retire who died!


    Manchester United took a half step back when leading 3:2, and then became 3:4 behind!


    The same is true for Millwall. Aldridge can¡¯t let the players shrink. This is not the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium. It¡¯s Manchester United¡¯s Old Trafford. It¡¯s the Red Devils¡¯ Dream Theater!


    Here, the fighting power of the Red Devils cannot be underestimated. They are the kings who dominate here. Without the courage to kill the king, victory will be out of reach!


    The rhythm of the next game is even faster than before. The two sides opened the posture and played the attack. Almost every minute, there was a shot. It is not that the two teams are not defending, but at a fast pace, both teams pass. The characteristics of excellent control, the time required to complete an attack at a fast pace is only a dozen seconds.


    Giggs was intercepted and Nedvide crossed the half with a long pass. Larsson caught up and shot a long shot outside the penalty area. Schmeichel flew out to block the ball. A world-class save!


    Beckham made a cross and Cole went back to do the ball and gave it to Keane. Keane also had a long shot, but it was slightly higher than the crossbar.


    The two of you come and go, and you are thrilled by the attack, making the audience holding their breath and daring to blink, fearing that a goal will appear in the next second.


    Beckham''s threat on the right fell sharply, only to pass the ball without mind, and Cole obviously had a very low probability of receiving the ball in the penalty area. Even if there was a chance, he could not face the goal.


    In the whole game, Giggs, who was entangled with Thuram, started a large-scale retreat. After receiving the pass from Bart, he started a dribbling rush. Schneider pressed tight, Giggs made an in-cut and then took the ball Passed to Keane plugged in.


    Thuram blocked the inscribed line, Giggs folds the bottom line, Kean crosses the bottom line, Giggs succeeds to get the ball under the bottom, Thuram has also returned to the defense, and it is about to force him to use his body Eat Giggs, but Giggs''s feet are faster, the left foot is crossed!


    Millwall is not afraid of passing the ball in front of the goal. Manchester United does not have a strong center in the small penalty area, but Giggs'' pass is outside the penalty area.


    Makelele stared at Keane, but found that the ball did not fly towards Keane. At the top of the arc, a figure appeared there: Scholes!


    Without waiting for the ball to fall, Scholes volleyed the ball, and the ball flew vigorously towards the goal, and it was a ball!


    The angle wasn''t tricky, but after slamming the ground, the goalkeeper Keller was shaken. He fell to the ground, and the ball rushed through between his two arms, straight into the net nest.


    "Scholes! Scholes saved Manchester United! In the eighty-first minute of the match, Manchester United equalized again, and it is now 4:4. The substitutions of the two coaches have played a significant role, although Scholes mostly Time is invisible, but he is replaced by McClaire, a striker, Scholes can score goals enough to prove his value!"


    Old Trafford thundered, but the Manchester United players were still not satisfied, and ran to the middle circle with the ball.


    A draw is not enough to make the Red Devils proud.


    Aldridge scratched his head, somewhat helpless.


    The rhythm of the game is extremely fast. Whether the goal will happen is an unclear question. Millwall also has several good opportunities, but he has not grasped it. It can only be said that Manchester United seized the opportunity and in the process of counterattack Good results have been achieved.


    The players on both sides were already sweating and sweating. Millwall players wiped their sweats and gasped. They didn''t care after losing the ball. Without delaying time, they returned to the half and set up their formation to prepare for the kick-off.


    It doesn¡¯t matter if you are equalized, you can score again!


    Aldridge didn''t issue defensive orders, and players wouldn''t hesitate.


    After the kick-off, the two sides fight for each other and continue the high-paced attack.


    At this moment, the players of the two teams are nervous, and no one dares to relax.


    The time of the game passed by one minute and one second. Seeing that the game had reached 89 minutes, the score was still 4:4. Manchester United fans were helpless to find that: a draw seems to be acceptable.


    Millwall''s performance today is top-notch, if they can maintain the level of a season, what kind of height will it reach, it is really unstoppable.


    Millwall once again organized an attack, Thuram stepped forward to pass the ball to Nedved, Nedved retreated to take the ball and turned around, there are two players left and right Bart and Keane in front.


    Who will he pass to?


    Pires? Or Schneider?


    Or directly to the forward striker?


    Both defensive tycoons are predicting Nedved''s path of play.


    However, after Nedvide had room to start, he took the ball and broke through the two from the front with a very fast speed!


    Both Bart and Keane are waiting for Nedved to pass the ball, but did not expect the Czech iron man to force out unreasonably!


    Keane turned back to pull Nedved''s jersey, and Bart put a shovel under him. Nedved, like a wild horse, broke through from the two of them, riding a dust!


    Keane and Bart were dumbfounded: 90 minutes, so fast, are you human?


    Nedved led the ball forward, as fast as lightning, four Manchester United defenders immediately retracted the penalty area, and Millwall''s attack line was also pressed forward into the penalty area.


    Nedved ran all the way since he started accelerating, and the speed did not slow down. He distributed the ball to Pires near the middle of the road before the penalty area. The opponent''s ball was a pick-and-pass penalty area. The ball just passed the top of Bruce. Manchester United The defender stared at Larson, Solskjaer and Schneider in the penalty area.


    However, Nedved, who completed the pass, rushed into the penalty area without losing speed, just like a sharp knife cut through Manchester United''s defense.


    Paliste moved to block Nedved, but because he couldn''t keep up, he mixed garlic under his feet and fell to the ground. Bruce could only reach out to stop Nedved from passing by.


    The fast-moving Nedved almost hit the Bruce''s arm with his body, jumping up high, and the ball that was falling forward was the header!


    The flowing blonde hair is flying in the air, and the steely body gives the football strong power.


    Schmeichel flew to the near post, but stretched out his hand and emptied it. He closed his eyes desperately, and he had heard the quiet old Trafford stadium, a name came to the sky.


    "Nedved! Nedved! Our lion king, Nedved!"


    The roaring fan organization group repeated the name of Nedved.


    The fighting spirit of the crazy lion is about to conquer the dream theater!


    The steel lion Nedvide, who stepped on the Red Devils and became famous in Europa!

 Chapter 77： Ferguson moment

    When the time on the scoreboard reached 90 minutes, Old Trafford was like a theater, and a tumultuous thriller came to a climax, but such a picture made Manchester United fans shudder.


    "Lore! Lore! Millwall leads Manchester United again in the 90th minute! This is Nedved''s performance. After taking the ball from the midfield, he drove the ball through Manchester United''s midfield defensive line. Both Keane and Bart were beaten. Confused by the illusion of Nedved''s continuous passing in 90 minutes, the Czech player has a good ability to break the ball, and at the most critical moment, he successfully demonstrated his fast and fast breakthrough, in front of the penalty area After a simple cooperation with Pires, Nedvide header made Millwall penetrate the Schmeichel gate for the fifth time! Andy, do you have anything to say? I think today''s game is simply world-class Yes! World-class performance brings fans world-class enjoyment!"


    "Martin, the game is not over, we do not know what will happen, but it is undeniable that if Millwall finally wins, they are fully worthy, Aldridge and his team are heroes, even If you lose, you will get the highest praise!"


    "What else will happen? Look! Nedved after scoring..."


    When Nedved scored this goal, he also rushed toward the coach seat.


    Today''s game is a milestone in the history of Millwall Club: Premier League first!


    Therefore, this day belongs to all Millwalls.


    Some of the fans choked with excitement. The Millwall coaching staff and the players on the bench all rushed out. Aldridge was too excited to extricate himself. He was a little trembling. When he saw Nedved rushing over, he also Ran into the court from the sidelines.


    The blonde Nedved, the blonde Aldridge, the commander-in-chief, the two acted as if they were psychic.


    Nedvide knelt down before rushing to the sidelines, and Audridge in suit and leather shoes also knelt down and knelt over!


    Thank you Old Trafford for the quality turf!


    Kneeling and sliding on it really feels!


    Aldridge and Nedved stood up after the kneeling inertia, and the two men of similar age but master and apprentice hugged tightly together!


    The whole process has become one of the countless classic pictures of the top arena in Aldrich''s coaching career, and it is also the first.


    Aldridge''s feelings for Nedved are very simple. Compared with too many grievances, love and hate, the Aldridge only loves Nedved and nothing else.


    This self-disciplined off-court low-key, aggressive iron man on the court, Aldridge can''t find any problems with him. Who can''t love such a player?


    And after a successful year at Millwall, Nedved also had the simplest emotion for Aldrich: admiration.


    No one said he was a genius, no one said it.


    So he has been working hard to make himself successful, but Aldridge told him clearly: you are a genius!


    Aldridge is very dissatisfied with the afterlife. Many fans likened Nedved to a model of diligently making up for innate deficiencies. This is a shame!


    Nedved is an iron man, working hard and hard. This is his excellent quality, but is he not talented?


    Those who say he has no talent are simply shit!


    How many people can dribble and break like him? How many people can handle the ball like he is simple and reasonable.


    It''s just that too many people are used to fancy football and think that the kind of player who can step on the bicycle faster than the train is called talented.


    Like the four new stars admired by the world in the next World Cup, Baggio II Piero, Spanish golden boy Raul, Galincha in the World Nelson, Diego II Ortega, among the four new stars, there are Half broken, half not yet weathered, Piero is difficult to pick the girders, Ra¨²l with the sinking of Spain, Denilson stepped on the gorgeous bicycle in the finals, but completed the defending reputation of Thuram, wishing to clone Maradona¡¯s Olympics Terga ended the World Cup journey with a red card.


    Nedved''s talent is enough to make him famous in the world without preaching. He can''t belittle his skills because he is harder than those gorgeous players. The tireless running and countless falls and climbs are just his spirits. The evidence that the quality is better than anything is definitely not what he is making up, but making him perfect.


    Just like Harvey, no one thinks Harvey is gorgeous, but no one can deny that Harvey is unique. How can such a player not be a talent!


    Nedved, a talented **** of war!


    Players, coaches, and Millwall fans embraced frantically on the field except for fans who came to Old Trafford.


    5:4!


    Crazy scores, but the victory is ours!


    The head referee ran over, urging them to quickly end the celebration, the game was not over.


    After the crowd dispersed, Aldridge ignored what the referee Du Jin said in his ear. He shouted to each player: "The rest of the time, the team is back!"


    The regular time is over, and Millwall no longer has to hope to fight back. At this time, keeping the score is the most important.


    The whole team understood the situation at the moment, and they nodded fiercely to show that no one had any objections.


    After the players walked away, Aldridge patted his pants and turned to look at the referee Du Jin. He gasped to calm his expression and squeezed out a smile: "I understand, I will return to the coach seat now."


    "No, Mr. Hall, please go to the stands. You have interfered with the smooth progress of the game."


    The referee Du Jin raised his right hand and pointed to the stand and said to Aldridge.


    Aldridge didn''t expect to be fined in the stands. There was no way. Whoever made Du Jin chatter in his ear just now, he was farting as a dog.


    If it were other times, boos or applause would be heard from the Old Trafford stands. The boos were given to Audridge and the applause to the referee, but at this moment, the Manchester United fans were dumbfounded and uneasy.


    Aldridge didn''t argue, he was just fined to the stands, and he can still command the game in the next game. If there is a dispute with the referee again, he may be given a red card.


    In the stands behind the visiting team bench, Aldridge stepped up. The stadium staff had already vacated the seat for him, and in the vicinity, all were Manchester United fans. They looked at Aldridge with a strange look, as if they saw something. monster.


    How can this young man observe a man like a big boy up close, how can he be a head coach?


    The endless thing about football is the disagreement of the locker room, the turning of the general and so on. He is so young that he can hold those players on the court?


    Because of doubts, Aldridge seemed mysterious.


    Aldridge took a long breath after sitting down and turned his head to look. The two men sitting next to him in a Manchester United jersey were a father and son.


    His father''s belly is a typical image of a middle-aged British man. The child is only about six or seven years old. He looks white and pure. His eyes are staring at Aldridge naively. When Aldridge looked over, he said clearly: "Can you give me a signature?"


    "I''m Millwall''s head coach, boy, you admit the wrong person, the Manchester United head coach is over there, voila."


    "I know, but you are very handsome. Can''t you sign it?"


    "Okay, wait for the game to end."


    The East Grandstand was full of joy, and Millwall fans juggled their shoulders around the Grandstand. This game was definitely worth the vote, and the pre-season concerns were wiped out.


    Based on today''s performance, Millwall will have no problem relegating!


    Maybe you can still compete for the championship!


    Melanie and Victoria also stood up. Although they both watched the game, they were not fanatical, but today''s game brought too much shock to the two.


    "Is he always like this?"


    Victoria found that Aldridge often became the focus, or that he always attracted the attention of the broadcast lens, and Aldridge often appeared on the side of the screen, almost every time the goal appeared, whether it was Manchester United or Millwall , Aldridge will become the second focus.


    From the appearance, Aldridge in a slim suit has shown a unique charm of man, which is indelible.


    The rushing into the field just now and Nedved are almost synchronized with kneeling and sliding. It is unprecedented. I have never seen a head coach join in, which can make the goal celebration so passionate!


    Sports hot girl Melanie also jumped up and down with Millwall fans, she couldn''t laugh with her mouth closed, haha ??laughed and said: "Yeah, he is always like this! I deliberately found the previous news, there is a piece of him Kneeling on the sidelines, the photos will make the woman crazy! Aldridge, love him! Kill Manchester United, haha, Manchester United will lose to the newly promoted horse!"


    Melanie, a Liverpool fan, was naturally gloating when he saw Manchester United losing. Now joining the Millwall fans¡¯ carnival team, he can¡¯t wait to scream more loudly.


    Victoria looked at Melanie with a look of envy in her eyes.


    Manchester United is crazy!


    No, it was Manchester United¡¯s Red Devils **** outbreak!


    The injury stoppage time is 4 minutes, because there are 5 goals and two substitutions in the second half, and there is no excessive delay in other times.


    In the four minutes, the Manchester United team pressed on Millwall''s goal, but Millwall built a steel barrier in front of the door, and most of Manchester United''s shots hit the defensive players.


    Palliste came up and shot, and he volleyed on Stam and flicked to the bottom line.


    Manchester United won the corner kick and the game time has reached 95 minutes and 42 seconds.


    Obviously, it has been two minutes beyond the stoppage time, but Du Jin still did not sound the whistle at the end of the game, probably because of the goal of Nedved, Millwall spent too much time celebrating.


    Aldridge was sitting in the stands and saw Schmeichel also going up to participate in this corner kick attack. He suddenly remembered something that made him extremely blameful.


    Oh shit!


    I forgot to change people to delay time!


    Yeah, there are two substitution places that are not used!


    There is no need for Manchester United. First, there is no one to change. Second, it saves time.


    Millwall can completely disrupt the opponent''s rhythm with two substitutions, allowing players on the court to rest and have more time to adjust the defense.


    But Aldridge has forgotten that he still lacks the experience of such a powerful confrontation, and just left everything behind when he was excited.


    Looking at the corner kick, Aldridge couldn''t help standing up.


    Almost all the fans stood up, this will definitely be the last blow of the Red Devils.


    Overcrowded in the penalty area, the corner kick will be Beckham, and because Schmeichel also came up, in fact, the offensive and defensive movement will be a balanced number.


    From the beginning of the game to this moment, Bruce''s performance was a disaster, and he was wearing the Manchester United captain''s armband.


    As the captain, his chubby face was filled with anger. When the corner kick came out, he used all his strength to jump to the top.


    It was too chaotic in the penalty area, but Bruce grabbed a bit unexpectedly!


    The eyes full of anger and fighting spirit contain tenacity, Steve Bruce, the captain of Manchester United, he is old and thirty-four years old.


    But faced with the newly promoted Millwall today, he can not serve the old!


    Otherwise, Manchester United will not only lose at home, but will also cast a shadow on this new generation of Red Devils.


    As a captain, you must stand up at a critical moment.


    Bruce grabbed the point, the header hit the Millwall''s door hard, and even in the header, he pushed Makelele to jump and burst into a roar.


    Even if Lao Tzu is 80 years old, no one can be wild in Old Trafford!


    boom!


    Keller knelt down on the goal line, hitting the ground with a painful punch, the ball in the net nest made all Millwall players close their eyes weakly.


    Red Devils, equalize the countdown!

 Chapter 78： Classic ending

    Steve Bruce''s buzzer goal finally locked the score between the Red Devils and the Wild Lions at 5:5.


    This may not be enough to make up for his poor performance in the entire game, but it can also be regarded as a self-salvation.


    Manchester United players surrounded Bruce excitedly, excited for the goal and the draw at the last minute.


    Millwall''s players were very disappointed. Schneider even knelt on the ground, gritted his teeth and closed his eyes sadly.


    Why didn''t you win? !


    Someone stooped over his shoulders to support him, Schneider opened his eyes, and the captain Southgate¡¯s calm face came into his eyes. Southgate said softly: "Stand up, hold our heads up, we should Thank you fans for your presence."


    Schneider stood up and sorted out his emotions. He saw that other teammates had returned to normal from their loss. Everyone went to the East Stand and applauded the fans in the stands.


    "An incredible game, Andy, this is the most exciting game I have explained, from the first minute of the game, no, to be precise, from the opening whistle of the referee to the end of the final whistle, this The game is so exciting that it will stay in memory forever."


    "This is the Premier League! This is our most proud, favorite Premier League. The pace of the game is fast and the confrontation is fierce. There are many wonderful technical and tactical connotations. Although the two teams dedicated ten goals, their overall offensive and defensive quality is extremely high. High, and every goal is very exciting, close your eyes, those players who first entered the audience will come to mind one by one, Millwall¡¯s players are all impressive, and Manchester United¡¯s new generation of players has proved him Deserve the red heritage, Martin, this is a football feast. Although there are only a few European names on the field, but with the performance of this group of guys today, I firmly believe that in the future, they will shine on a larger stage , We are fortunate to witness the whole process of such a game today."


    "I agree with you very much. If you want me to score players on the field, I think most players will get high scores. Ferguson may not be reconciled, because Cantona can''t play, and the young Hall will also regret, Because his team lost three points at the last minute, but I want to say to the two head coaches: Thank you, this game will become a classic of the Premier League. There is no doubt that fans who did not watch the live broadcast are their loss because This is a football feast that can enjoy the last second from the first second. Okay, spectators friends, the game of Manchester United against Millwall, the live broadcast ends here, and we will see you in the next game."


    Old Trafford, after the referee Du Jin sounded the whistle at the end of the game, the fans stood up and applauded, the applause continued for a long time.


    Maybe Manchester United fans always think that the Red Devils will win the game.


    But when the moment of the end came, they had some regrets in their hearts. It was not that Manchester United only got a draw, but that the ups and downs of the wonderful game was over.


    On the court, players from both sides began to communicate after the game, and many people began to exchange jerseys.


    Schmeichel walked in front of Larson. Although they were not from the same country, the two were speaking of the Nordic fellows in a large area. The two took off their shirts and exchanged.


    "Hey, you should come to Manchester United to play football, you score a goal, I''m goalkeeper, we will win a lot of championships."


    Schmeichel shamelessly began to dig the foot of the wall, but this is also an admiration and affirmation.


    Larson laughed and said nothing.


    Roy Keane took the initiative to find Nedved, and the two tough guys faced each other. The jersey was not only soaked in sweat, but also covered with mud, but the two took off the jersey and handed it to each other. The other side''s jersey was put on the shoulder, and the two men took the right hand, and after releasing it, they turned and left. They didn''t say a word from beginning to end.


    Aldridge stood in the stands. After the game, he closed his eyes and blamed himself.


    However, this is not an annoying occasion. He turned around to fulfill his promise to give Manchester United little fans a signature, but he saw the little boy''s father gave him a thumbs up.


    "Your team is amazing."


    Aldridge smiled noncommittally.


    The man''s compliments are the same as himself.


    To say that Millwall is amazing, no matter how great it is, is only a draw at Old Trafford. To put it bluntly, the subtext still says: Manchester United is very strong. You can draw to prove that you are not weak.


    Aldridge took the watercolor pen from the little fan, signed his name on his hat, and left with a smile.


    Ferguson had been waiting below. The old man blushed terribly before the game. Now it looks better.


    "Aldrich, Manchester United may have lost the most important two points of the championship!"


    Ferguson''s tone was only a semi-easy joke.


    But perhaps it is true that the process of losing the championship last season is still vivid.


    Who knows?


    Anyway, Aldridge didn''t care.


    He shook hands with Ferguson and smiled: "Alex, Millwall may have scored the most crucial point on the relegation path."


    Ferguson pointed at him with wide eyes: "If you say Millwall is a relegation team, I would think you are mocking Manchester United!"


    Millwall did not win at home. If Millwall is a relegation team, what will Manchester United do to compete for the championship?


    And Ferguson has to admit deep down that Manchester United has played better than Millwall in a certain period of time.


    Aldridge smiled and stopped lifting bars.


    "I''m waiting for you in the office, and it''s worth my collection today."


    "Okay, see you later."


    Aldridge and Ferguson were separated, and then went back to the locker room and chatted with the players briefly. After playing away, they had to take a car home.


    At the press conference after the game, the reporters couldn''t wait.


    The reporters who watched the whole process of the game on the spot had too many problems, and many people couldn''t calm down for a long time.


    What kind of game is this?


    Winning the championship, the Premier League overlord, the traditional giant Manchester United, in the main scene against the newly promoted horse, relegated to the last penultimate Millwall, actually played a game that no one can guess.


    Manchester United fell behind first, then reversed, then reversed again, equalized, backward, and finally equalized the score.


    Millwall is leading, being reversed, then reversed, and equalized, leading again before the end of the game and being equalized in the last second!


    Fuck!


    Not only did the process go up and down, the scene was full of passion!


    Ferguson appeared, the old Scottish man''s expression was normal, when the reporter asked: "Manchester United obviously lost their dominance of the game today, and lost the color of the old Trafford protagonist. As the coach, what do you think is the reason?"


    Ferguson shrugged and said with a smile: "The reason is that this is the Premier League. Everyone who has watched the game knows that neither side intends to test their opponents. From the first second of the game, Milwaukee is very powerful. I think they are popular relegation experts who are idiots. They can make the game run at a very fast pace. Manchester United was a bit uncomfortable at first, but then I realized that since I can¡¯t keep it, then I can only watch who enters. There are more balls, and in the end, we played a classic game."


    "So, do you think Millwall is a strong contender for the championship this season?"


    Ferguson nodded seriously, "Of course, can any one of you say when Manchester United lost five goals at home last time? And as two consecutive championships and a runner-up in the top league, Millwall''s performance is not enough. Is it a shock to the champion?"


    ...


    When Aldridge came for an interview, the reporters at the press conference could not help laughing.


    Aldrich felt strange, and after sitting down, he asked, "Any questions?"


    Richard of the "Daily Mail" raised his hand and Aldridge was an old friend with him, so he asked him to ask questions first.


    "Mr. Hall, just now Mr. Ferguson said that Millwall is one of the league champion contenders. Do you agree with him?"


    Aldridge said without hesitation: "Of course not. Millwall is still very young, and it has been lucky to be relegated to the Premier League this season."


    He didn''t want his team to become a target.


    "But you scored five goals at Manchester United''s home court and almost won the match. Manchester United has been behind for a long time."


    Aldridge seriously said exaggeratedly: "Of course! This is the Dream Theater! Which team does not want to show here? To be able to play here, of course, cherish the opportunity, I think, Middlesbrough, Southampton, Queens Park Rangers and other teams visiting Old Trafford will also take out 200% of their fighting spirits, and then leave here with their heads upright at the end of the game."


    All the reporters in the audience were happy.


    Ferguson and Aldridge, both coaches, are hiding swords in their smiles.


    Ferguson wanted to set Millwall on fire, Aldridge complimented Manchester United, but reminded other teams to come here to Manchester United to be a glory.


    Maybe the Premier League has a pair of rivals.


    "Millwall was equalized at the last minute. How do you feel? Disappointed with the players?"


    Aldridge groaned for a moment and said: "I am sad and disappointed, because I have failed the efforts of the players, my players have been impeccable, but I have not been able to help them win. On my body."


    The reporters at the stage were happy at first. They felt that Aldridge was going to blame the players. But he did not expect him to take responsibility for himself.


    It''s strange that Millwall was evenly equalized in this game, but it should have exceeded expectations. Isn''t Aldridge not happy to take away three points?


    "Mr. Hall, can you explain? Why do you feel blamed?"


    Aldrich said frankly: "I should have used the last two substitutions to stop Manchester United''s last minute offensive, but I was fined to the stands, and I forgot to remind the assistant that it was all my fault, the players It¡¯s great, but I¡¯m so bad."


    The reporters were speechless. Although they all guessed that Aldridge would definitely buy people''s hearts by saying this, but they could just say that in the face of more than forty media reporters. The players gave his life to him. Who would think Not worth it?


    In the first round of the English Premier League in the 95/96 season, Manchester United played against Millwall at home. After the game, it was named the best match since the establishment of the Premier League. It was still ranked in the 10th and 20th anniversary celebrations of the Premier League. The top of the classic game list is not only because of the exciting stimulation and technical and tactical content of the game, but also of extraordinary significance. It is a milestone in the rise of many young stars in Manchester United and Millwall, declaring the arrival of a new era.

 Chapter 79： Laconia

    Millwall came to Manchester''s game team, coaching staff, players, team doctors, team managers, etc. have already embarked on their way back to London, only the head coach stayed.


    Ferguson¡¯s office is not large and has a strong reception room color. A transparent coffee table is placed in the middle of the room. Leather sofas are placed under the three walls surrounding the coffee table. Photos or meaningful famous paintings hang on the wall above the sofa.


    Aldrich came here as a guest. When Ferguson went to pour wine, he stood by the wall and admired one of the photographs: "The Living Beams" was created in 1932 during the construction of the Rockefeller Building in New York.


    In the picture, 11 construction workers are sitting on aerial steel bars, and below them are the bustling high-rise buildings of New York City, hundreds of meters away from the ground.


    In a sense, this reflects the actual status of 11 people on the football field, the occupational dangers, the courage above the sky, the professionalism, the trust and communication with colleagues, and other qualities. It can do all this, then, You can see the mountains and build a magnificent foundation of American spiritual symbol like Rockefeller Center. This painting condenses the spirit of the Red Devil.


    "Aldrich, you almost made me heart attack today."


    Aldridge turned around and saw Ferguson sitting on the sofa at the other end of the coffee table. He had red wine in his hand, and the red wine poured for Aldridge was placed on the other end of the coffee table.


    Sitting opposite Ferguson, Aldridge took a drink and took a sip, aftertaste nothing much.


    "Why? Don''t like it?"


    Ferguson has a light smile on his face. The war is over. At this moment, two coaches, old and young, can sit down and talk and laugh, which is also a kind of enjoyment in life in football.


    Aldrich shook his head and smiled frankly: ¡°It¡¯s true that my father used to be a street gangster when he was young. My elder brother was a glass worker when he was an adult. Cheers, there is no difference between drinking red wine and drinking beer, not to like or not to like, but it does not make me happy. If Millwall wins the game today, I will invite you to eat barbecue and drink beer."


    Ferguson laughed when he heard that, he raised his wine glass and said, "This is port wine, from Portugal, and has a ceremonial color in the UK. I don''t know your preferences, so I think that this kind of student will drink, the soldier will Drink, the red wine that the nobles will drink should be able to cope with you. It seems that I was wrong. So, let me tell you, what is the best red wine you have ever drank?"


    After thinking for a while, Aldridge said: "82 Rafi, in fact, can''t talk about the best drink, I am a layman, drinking red wine is to join in the fun."


    In fact, Lafite is not the top in Europe with wineries everywhere, but Aldrich was fired in China in his previous life. It was just a product of the upstart vassal, so Aldridge has When I was money, I bought a bottle of 82 Lafite. In the 1990s, this bottle of wine was not as expensive as ten years later, so he could afford it. After drinking it, he was worthless.


    Ferguson nodded: "Well, 82 years of red wine is indeed the best in recent decades, the grape harvest that year was very good."


    "Related to grapes?"


    "Of course, grapes are the main raw material for wine making, so good wine depends not only on the brewing technology, but also on the mood of God. He is in a good mood. The 82-year-old grapes have a good harvest and are in top condition. He is in a bad mood. Many ordinary grapes can''t make classic red wine. Well, this is very similar to football games. Classic games are always born by accident, not by careful planning."


    Aldridge nodded seriously. Ferguson took a sip and curiously said: "Aldrich, can you tell me the secret of your success? You have never played football, but your research on football tactics is impressive. Today, Millwall¡¯s players are top-notch, but they can¡¯t do without their usual training. Even if the football game is not a repetitive exercise, the tactics in the training can be copied on the football field, but in irregular football games. Being able to play such smooth football is inseparable from the coach¡¯s training. In addition, many of Millwall¡¯s players, Manchester United¡¯s scouts followed me and told me that there are many young players with star potential, how did you choose These players? Where do they get their information?"


    Aldrich agreed with Ferguson¡¯s statement.


    The football game itself has no rules to follow. Unlike basketball or football coaches, they use tactical boards to specify the offensive or defensive tactics to each player''s running trajectory.


    "I left London when I was less than thirteen and went all over the world. No, actually it was just in Europe, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Portugal, and even Northern Europe and Eastern Europe. Since then, I have been observing the football culture in different regions of continental Europe, and then put this into my head. To be honest, I am not a tactical madman, and I will not study how to make players on the tactical board all day. What have we achieved through complex positioning, have you heard of Laconian thinking?"


    Ferguson shook his head seriously, even though he was a tasteful wine appraiser and a successful football coach, but his knowledge was similar to normal people. This is one of the reasons why he later confronted Wenger, Wenger always A wise scholar, and in front of Wenger, Ferguson would always inadvertently think of himself as a Glasgow dock worker.


    "Lagonian thinking is actually simplified thinking, conciseness, and it is really rich, because everything is limited, only the simplest things can have the greatest fertility and imagination. I will let the players in training The ball is simple and fast, training their sense of running position, teamwork awareness, when these are maturing, they will play smoothly on the court naturally, and the defense is the same, instilling the simplest consciousness to them, the rest, They will try their best to do their best."


    Aldridge said without concealment.


    "Why are you so honest? Is there no secret idea?"


    After listening to it, Ferguson thought a little, then asked more curiously.


    Aldridge laughed and said: "Confidential? There is no secret in football. Any tactical framework is simple, and the efficiency of tactical execution depends on the ability of the players. All Premier League teams know that Manchester United will fly in both wings, but why still? Will it be beaten repeatedly? A large factor is determined by the player''s ability, not whether the tactic is restrained, or how mysterious the tactic is. The strength of the player''s direct confrontation directly affects the trend on the court, even if it is compensated by the number of people. Side defense, then there will be flaws in other places. For example, even if Manchester United returns to England''s original long pass rushing game, the team''s record will not fall sharply, because your long pass will be more accurate, And you can buy the top strong center to grab points in the middle, the same tactics, different teams use, the effect is different, the real tactical trend changes, football has appeared in the past hundred years in less than ten times, with the television The broadcast is well developed, and there are no tactical secrets on the football field. Some of them are just the match between players and tactics."


    Ferguson exclaimed deeply: "You are right, the key is whether the characteristics of the players are consistent with the tactics. Putting the right players in the right position can achieve the best results, otherwise it is disaster."


    This is the idea that Aldridge builds the team. He needs a strong center. Trezeguet is very suitable. Although Solskjaer is excellent, he cannot replace the young Trezeguet. He needs a midfield commander. Maybe Pakistan Lac, Nedved, and Vieira can all be competent, but in effect, there must be no better than Pirlo, the English defender needs a high degree of air control, players like Stam meet the requirements, and so on.


    But the tactical mutual restraint relationship also exists, only that it will be deeply reflected in the contest between the top teams. The team has a strong lineup and a disparity in the game, even if the weak team''s tactics and then restrain the strong team, it is very It''s hard to get cold.


    Ferguson got up to add a glass of wine to Aldridge and continued to ask: "So, where did you discover these players?"


    Aldridge chuckled and said: "Did you just say? I have been to so many countries, I watched a game every week, and I left a lot of player names on my notebook, and my second brother opened A brokerage company, he employs scouts all over the world."


    Ferguson suddenly realized that after a moment of silence, he raised his head and solemnly said: "Seven million pounds, Larson sells to Manchester United, or, five million pounds, that young Frenchman, Trezeguet."


    Aldrich''s happy mood disappeared in an instant, and the old fox finally shot!


    He was uneasy in his heart. Ferguson was not the first to make an inquiry. He gave up three months ago, but after today''s game, he still made up his mind.


    Since he opened his mouth, the salary is certainly not a problem.


    What''s more, Trezeguet and Larson''s excellent performance today is enough to make them pay high wages at Manchester United without being questioned.


    In terms of transfer fees, seven million pounds is a very sincere price.


    500,000 pounds more than Andy Cole¡¯s transfer fee this spring, but 500,000 pounds less than Bergkamp¡¯s transfer to Arsenal, which is the second highest price for an English football transfer. The latest record was created by Bergkamp.


    Trezeguet''s five million pounds is also sincere.


    Aldridge put down his glass and said lightly: "I need to think about it."


    "Whether the transaction is successful or not, Aldridge, the next time you come to Manchester United as a guest, I will open a bottle of 82 Lafite."


    Ferguson got up and shook hands with Aldridge solemnly. Aldridge smiled and turned away.

 Chapter 80： Two very different cities

    When Aldridge walked out of Old Trafford to take a taxi to the train station, his cell phone rang.


    It was just a habit of pulling out the phone to cancel the silent mode. He found that there were several text messages and two missed calls. It happened that when he took out his phone, there was a call.


    Caller: Melanie.


    "Hi."


    "Aldrich, where are you? You are so crazy today!"


    "I am going back to London."


    "Huh? Are you still in Manchester?"


    "Yes, I just chatted with Manchester United manager in his office for a while."


    "What''s there to talk to him about? You aren''t from the same age. Then you come to my house for dinner. My mother wants to meet you too. She said she would take a look at my boyfriend."


    "Okay, then tell me the address, I will take a taxi."


    After hanging up the phone, Aldridge temporarily depressed his gloom.


    He did not promise Ferguson in person, or refused.


    There is no problem with transfer fees. In this year, Manchester United¡¯s offer is reasonable, although perhaps after three to five years, Larson and Trezeguet¡¯s worth will soar to more than 15 million pounds.


    However, the transfer involves three aspects, Manchester United, Millwall, and the players themselves.


    If Manchester United does not offer, Aldridge can be taken seriously, but Manchester United offers, the situation is very different.


    Aldridge will not rashly agree, because the importance of these two players to Millwall is self-evident.


    But it cannot be refused decisively, what if the player wants to go? Manchester United did not offer an insulting offer or could not meet their salary needs.


    If there is a conflict between the player¡¯s will and the club¡¯s will, staying in the team is not necessarily more than a disadvantage. Moreover, Audridge wants to establish an image. He forced the player to make some discordant rumors and sign new players for him in the future. There will be a negative impact. Millwall itself is not attractive. If the head coach can no longer attract players to vote, then this club will have no future at all.


    Aldridge is not unable to sell players, he borrowed his brother Barnett 30 million pounds, what to pay back?


    Does it only depend on the low income of the club? I''m afraid it won''t last for ten years.


    He relied on the salary of almost the first-line players in England to pay the main players, just to retain the players, if they want to sell in the future, they will also sell a good price.


    If the deal between Larson and Trezeguet is reached, Aldridge can make nearly ten million pounds a year from two players!


    In the next two years, he must make up for the breakeven by selling players. The budget of the club will run out of light after this season. If the operating income can increase significantly this season, then Odri Qi can persist for another season, but by the year 97, I''m afraid he will become a poor man.


    It¡¯s not natural to just go in and out, but it can¡¯t sell people this season. The first season of the Premier League is too important for Millwall. This is not only about survival, but also about the limit of achievement.


    Aldridge called Andrew while waiting for the bus. When Trezeguet was introduced last year, the agent changed to Andrew. Larsen renewed his contract in the summer and became Andrew''s player.


    It''s not easy to talk to Andrew about what the Manchester United will offer the two players. What is left to do is not Audric''s question. In fact, he and Andrew, the two brothers, should be parties with conflicts of interest.


    If it was not Larsen and Trezeguet who had just signed a new contract in the summer, and the wages rose sharply, especially Larsen, whose weekly salary rose directly from ¡ê8,000 to ¡ê15,000, then Andrew, as an agent, Working around, either help the player to move to Manchester United, or use this to help the player get a bigger contract at Millwall.


    Everything between the brothers is self-explanatory, Aldrich actually feels relieved, at least the most difficult agent in the transfer transaction is his brother, he is sure that Andrew will not stab him in the back.


    The taxi came and Aldridge got the driver to drive to Liverpool.


    From Manchester to Liverpool, it takes less than an hour by car. The two cities are so close, but culture, religion, politics, economy, and football are opposites.


    Despite all the worries, Aldridge looked at the street scene outside the car window. On this way, the landscape that can be seen is a very different cultural atmosphere of the two cities, and he can also feel the historical changes leading to the different destinies of the two cities.


    Manchester¡¯s conservative tradition, the ¡°world factory¡± that emerged more than two hundred years ago has fallen, and industrial decline after World War II. The manufacturing industry has been declining in the past three decades. Large-scale layoffs have caused Manchester to embark on a painful transformation from manufacturing to service. Industry, and in the streets and alleys, Manchester City people are sad and nostalgic for the glory of this city.


    As a well-known port city in the UK, Liverpool is more open and free, so the talented Beatles can be born here. It also quickly embarked on a road of revival in the 1990s. In recent years, the economic growth rate has surpassed London and has become the British economy. Pioneer of growth, Liverpool is an artistic city with many artists.


    The sight in the eyes changes, and Audridge suddenly thinks that Melanie is a Liverpool man. Perhaps her musical talent and inspiration are mostly from the magical city of Liverpool.


    Aldridge favors talented people, respects diligent people, perhaps because Melanie also possesses these two samples, which makes him tempted.


    But he is indifferent to the women with empty skin, otherwise, he is too young, he can already spend the Spring Festival with countless three editions of girls.


    After he got off the car in front of Melanie''s house, Aldridge looked down at his meter and regretted it.


    The suit is of excellent quality, without wrinkles, but the trouser legs with knees down, obviously have two stains. That was left when he rushed into the court to celebrate on his knees and slipped, and there were some dirty spots on the suit, yes The players were contaminated when they came to hug.


    Taking off his suit and putting it on his arm, he stood in front of the door and said suddenly: When he first came to the door, he was empty-handed.


    He has always paid attention to etiquette, feeling embarrassed.


    I knew this was the case, and I should knock Ferguson a good wine before coming.


    Standing for a long time in front of the door, he suddenly found that the door was open, and Melanie stared at him with a strange face, and asked in a low voice: "Why are you standing at the door and not ringing the doorbell? Don''t you want to come?"


    Aldridge smiled bitterly, "Hurry, I didn''t bring any gifts."


    Melanie rolled her eyes, dragged his arm to the house, and kissed him on the face, saying: "I know you just finished the game, just came to have a light meal, not the kind of high society dinner in your family, It makes people nervous, just casual, my family is very hospitable."


    Aldrich''s heart is slander: high society?


    If someone else says so, Aldridge must think it is ironic.


    In the United Kingdom, the real high-class people are not comparable to the Hall family. Authentic nobles can often have afternoon tea with the ministers on Downing Street, go horseback riding with the royal family to play ball...The Hall family is just an upstart. .


    It is said that Liverpool is a Scots, warm and hospitable, Aldridge first met Melanie''s parents, the impression is very good.


    Melanie has a younger brother, and like Melanie is a Liverpool fan.


    He went to watch Liverpool''s game this afternoon, witnessing Liverpool''s small win at Anfield Xie Xie on Wednesday, and happily returned home and heard that Manchester United had a difficult draw at home to tie the newly promoted team, which was very happy.


    What surprised him even more was that he saw his sister''s boyfriend at home at dinner, the magical head coach of the newly promoted team, Aldridge, who was a few years younger than him.


    The dinner was very harmonious. Although Aldridge did not have the academic knowledge, but fortunately, he traveled around the world and was very knowledgeable and talkative.


    The only thing that made him headache is that Melanie¡¯s brother watched the highlights after the game and talked to him about football. While talking about which player of Millwall would have greater achievements in Liverpool, he thought about the book. Liverpool can win the league title this season.


    Liverpool, it is also a traditional giant who has missed the league title since 90 years.


    Aldridge didn¡¯t want to hit him. Even without Millwall¡¯s sudden emergence, Liverpool¡¯s next top-level league champion would not know what year and month. At least in the history Aldridge has experienced, it has been almost 24 years! Will it be more than Manchester United ended the Ferguson era? Manchester United has no dark record for the top league for 26 years. It is hard to say that there is no sign that Liverpool will quickly win the league title after 20 years. After all, the Premier League at that time is already another pattern. Too.


    After dinner, I had a pleasant chat with Melanie''s family for nearly two hours. Audric saw that it was not early, and got up to say goodbye. Melanie''s mother replied: "It''s too late. Let''s go tomorrow. There is a room at home for guests to stay in."


    Melanie knew Aldridge very well. She picked up his suit and unfolded it. She smiled at her family after putting it on: "You don¡¯t know, he is a workaholic, and he will definitely go to the club tomorrow morning, don¡¯t embarrass him." ."


    Melanie¡¯s parents all smiled, kindly and comforted, and felt that young people who worked hard like Aldridge were rare, who made it a flashy society now.


    Melanie sent Aldridge out, and outside the door, the two hugged and kissed goodbye, and when she was blushing and panting, she said: "I will go to London to watch the ball on the weekend, you have to cheer! Although I believe You, but the media thinks you are flat, still makes people angry, Aldridge, you will fight back those voices, right?"


    She has had time for these last few weeks, and the Spice Girls group will be busy for the first album.


    Millwall was not optimistic before the season. This is reasonable. No newly promoted team will be particularly optimistic. Especially Millwall, a team that has no heritage and does not introduce well-known stars on a large scale.


    Aldridge squeezed her tender face and smiled: "I don''t care what others say."


    Seeing her stare and seemingly dissatisfied with what he said, Aldridge sighed: "There is no time, who would spend a few hours every day going through the newspaper to see what the outsiders are saying about themselves? Think about how to fight back? Tired or not? Well, no longer talking, I should go, anyway, I will be back in two weeks, when the time comes, hehe, it is estimated that your family will not welcome me."


    Melanie kissed him on the lips again and laughed: "If Millwall defeated Liverpool at Anfield, you dare to be here, be careful not to go back to London! Hahaha, Aldridge, be careful on the road, Call me when you get home."


    Aldrich shook his head and said, "That will be late and nothing will happen."


    "No!"


    "Send a text message."


    "No! Phone, or I will call you every ten minutes."


    "You won, I will call you home, good night."


    Aldridge turned around and walked to the intersection of the community and got off in the car.


    It wasn''t until the taxi disappeared that Melanie bounced back home with her hands.


    Aldridge closed his eyes tiredly in the car.


    The timing of Manchester United¡¯s transfer intentions is really not the time. This is the beginning of the Millwall Devil schedule. Next week, they will face the same city derby opponent Arsenal. Next week, they will come back here, although not Manchester, but Liverpool...

 Chapter 81： Simple fan

    When the first round of the 95/96 English Premier League ended, Millwall''s away game against Manchester United caused a sensation.


    Fleet Street action unanimously made this game the headline of the news, no need to talk about various tabloids, and big newspapers such as "The Times", "Daily Telegraph", "Independent" and "Guardian" were all published on the front page headlines. Information about this game.


    Among them, the headline page of "Independent" was most satisfying to Audridge.


    The entire layout is two photographs. On the left, Aldridge¡¯s upper body kneeling and celebrating, on the right, the scene of Millwall¡¯s players exiting after the game. The masculine and toned players are centered in Nedved, Southgate. Players like Larsson, Larson, Makelele, and Pire were on the two sides. They wore jerseys on their shoulders, revealing the perfect muscle lines of the upper body. Almost all female readers were crazy after seeing it!


    I have to say that Aldridge''s team is headed by him, it is a team of handsome guys.


    The straight and strong Nedvide and Trezeguet, the Pires with the French artistic atmosphere, the Schneider with the handsome sunshine, the baby-faced Solskjaer, etc., this is not considered to be on the list. Pirlo and Shevchenko...


    Manchester United has always been the focus of news, and Millwall quickly caused a sensation in the English football after this battle.


    Everyone seems to be asking: Is this the infamous rogue team Millwall?


    Fans who have watched the game video paradoxically found that it was Manchester United who played the dirtiest on the field!


    Many of Keane''s rough moves are more obvious, and Millwall is more like an unyielding fighter, a lion who is persistent in victory.


    Especially when Manchester United has a controversial penalty.


    The ball critics expressed their opinions and analyzed the game. After the BBC Premier League highlights program with the highest ratings, they also invited many famous football players to express their opinions and technical and tactical reviews for this game.


    After this dazzling Premier League first game, Millwall has quickly produced an effect across the UK. Although only a seed is sown, this is a very good start.


    Aldridge is very grateful to the FA, Millwall''s milestone Premier League first game, is to face the traditional giants like Manchester United.


    And he strives to make the team simple and fast to make the team''s offense pleasing, but also to attract attention.


    In fact, Aldridge shakes the first season and tries to replicate the Nottingham Forest Miracle. There is another fatal reason. He needs Millwall''s appearance in the Premier League and it is amazing!


    Playing a conservative defensive counterattack may increase the success rate of the impact champion, but this is not enough to make Millwall famous.


    Wenger''s sixteen years in possession of Arsenal is not much more than the weighty championships brought by Graham''s eight years of coaching Arsenal. He won one more league title than Graham, but there is no Graham''s Europe. The winner''s cup is only two more trophy in the number of domestic cups than Arsenal during Graham period.


    However, Wenger''s Arsenal is definitely more successful than Graham''s Arsenal, which is beyond doubt.


    The Arsenal game under Graham was satirized by fans as a library, making their fans feel desperate, while Arsene Wenger could make Arsenal¡¯s Highbury unable to satisfy the growing number of fans. It also made countless neutral fans look forward to watching Arsenal''s game. Even with the most expensive tickets in the Premier League, Arsenal''s home attendance is still close to full.


    Therefore, Aldridge wants the team to play beautifully, but such beauty must be based on practicality and efficiency. He firmly believes that there is no conflict between the two.


    Now, neutral fans are starting to pay attention to Millwall, their fans can also hold high in East London, and the club¡¯s jersey sales are booming. There are various signs that Millwall is soaring in the English football.


    The next day of the game, the morning was off, and the team had restorative training in the afternoon. Aldridge walked out of the apartment at noon and was ready to walk to the training ground in less than fifteen minutes.


    But when he just went out, he found that three people were blocked outside.


    Brady, Fred, and Ewen were dressed casually and stood solemnly at the door of his house. Aldridge was startled and asked, "What are you doing?


    "Aldrich, why didn''t the club respond? Please tell us honestly, no matter what, we will keep it confidential, we will not betray friends from small to large."


    Brady said verbatim.


    Yi Wen squeezed the newspaper in his hand, and Aldridge took a look at it. The Manchester tabloid did not know where they got it from.


    In addition to the war between Manchester United and Millwall, there is also a heavy news: Manchester United will take away Larson and Trezeguet! The Millwall Double Star will be for the Red Devils!


    Aldridge laughed dumbly. Is there news so soon?


    This is in line with the characteristics of the British media''s pervasive prophecy.


    It¡¯s just that the message is incorrect.


    Ferguson is talking about Larson or Trezeguet. He also knows that it is impossible to pack the two at once, because he can''t let both play the main role, and one of them may be able to squeeze Cole and partner Cantona.


    "There is nothing to say, things have not been decided yet."


    Aldrich handed the newspaper back to Ewen, and found that she seemed a little absent-minded, and her bright eyes secretly looked behind him. Aldrich felt weird: What is good about my apartment?


    "Aldrich, this is your answer. What do you think of us as a reporter? What is the decision? No, that means, you want to sell the club''s hope?"


    Fred exclaimed excitedly that although he was an immigrant, he lived in East London at an early age. Like Brady, they grew up watching the Millwall game from an early age, and finally saw Millwall returning. The top field has a promising future, but history seems to have returned to the trajectory of repeated past, like Sheringham and others who left.


    Aldrich was disgusted with unreasonable accusation, he frowned: "Can you not guess, yes, I can decide whether to accept Manchester United''s offer, but I also don''t want to sell people, but they insist on going? Do I have to keep them? What is the point? Is it not to send them to the game in the future, or to let them stay in the team to get angry? I said I haven¡¯t decided yet, I haven¡¯t decided, I¡¯m not the kind of club dictator in the past, I To be honest, if Larson or Trezeguet wanted to go to Manchester United, I wouldn¡¯t really stop it. Why? If I were them, it was Manchester United throwing an olive branch at me. How many reasons could Millwall stay? Under me? The only thing that can give players is money and trust. If Manchester United gives them the same, and then compare other conditions, what can Millwall compare with Manchester United?"


    The three of them bowed their heads when they heard the loss. They very much hoped that the players could cherish their loyalty to the club, but "loyalty" in football will become worthless with the material flow, how many people can refuse the temptation of fame and fortune ? Mo said that it is a general star, even if it is a Uranus superstar, how many can stick to old age?


    "Sorry."


    Brady bowed his head, he was just a little gazed after hearing the news, and Manchester United officials did quote two players in the morning.


    Larson is seven million pounds, and Trezeguet is five million pounds.


    As for who can negotiate, it is another matter. If Millwall agrees, Manchester United¡¯s negotiating team can reach consensus with the players. Ferguson really does not mind that both players are taken away. After all, Trezeguet is still young.


    Aldrich can see from their performance that they are just the simplest fans, support this Millwall, pay attention to Millwall''s every move, and if something bad for the club happens, they will immediately be anxious to get angry.


    He said to the three: "Okay, let it be. If you are a profitable club owner in your eyes, why should you come to me? By the way, don''t you need to go to school today?"


    Yi Wen raised his wrist to look at the exquisite watch, rumbling his ruddy cheeks: "It''s too late now, forget it, skip class."


    "Oh, the good girls who have grown up are also bad at learning! Don¡¯t refer, don¡¯t wait, wait, Brady, you drive my car, send Yiwen to school first, then you go to school yourself, Whatever you want."


    Aldridge said, he opened the garage door and threw the BMW key to Brady.


    The kid immediately got up and looked at the white BMW car, hehe smiled and said: "I will not come back if I drive away."


    Aldridge shrugged: "Just do it."


    The car was originally a toy that Arthur bought when the Hall family started a few years ago, and the grade was not high. At that time, it cost less than 40,000 pounds and was handed over to Aldridge. Now I am afraid that it is about 20,000 pounds. Value.


    He usually hardly drives unless Melanie comes to date, watch movies or go to places like West London.


    Yi Wen hesitated a moment before leaving, and then turned around and asked in a soft voice, "Are you still used to living here alone?"


    Aldrich casually said: "It''s a habit to go out alone in the past few years."


    "Oh, all right."


    Yi Wen seemed relieved, Aldridge felt strange, but didn''t ask much.


    When they drove away, Aldridge walked leisurely towards the training ground.


    The neighbors living in this new community are either fans or team managers, or a family of players. When Aldridge passes by, everyone passing by will greet him enthusiastically, and when he is about to leave the community, He saw a teenager holding a football and rushing there, counting in his mouth.


    "136,137,138..."


    "David!"


    "Ok?"


    The 14-year-old gourd baby hugged the ball and turned back to see Aldridge. He suddenly trot with excitement and still said to him in Spanish: "Sir, I watched the game, Millwall is awesome , Better than Real Madrid Barcelona!"


    Aldridge tapped his head lightly and smiled: "Call me boss, not sir."


    Villa touched his head and smiled, "Boss."


    "What are you doing here?"


    "The coach said let us take a nap, but I can''t sleep and just play here."


    "You should sleep, otherwise the training in the afternoon may not be able to keep up, okay, time is almost up, go with me, and tell me how you feel after coming to London these days."


    "Okay, I train during the day and learn English with my tutor at night. My parents say they are very satisfied with the life here..."


    One tall and one short, it is more like the elder brother and the younger brother walked out of the community together and headed towards the Millwall training base.

 Chapter 82： Come and go

    At a fork, Aldridge and Villa were separated, and Villa went to the Leo Youth Training Base with football, Aldridge shouted "Don''t be too fast, pay attention to safety" behind him, and then He walked toward the training ground of the first team.


    Ten minutes before the start of training in the afternoon, but all the players in the first team are already on the training ground, and several coaches have come. They gathered together in groups of three or five to chat, and the players played easily in jackets and shorts. Holding a ball.


    Millwall''s Premier League first game not only had a huge impact on the outside world, but also had a great impact on the team. The players in the game felt unwilling, but playing such a game made them feel sleepy overnight. Come today On the training ground, it seems that there is sublimation in temperament. Through the game with Manchester United, they also increased their great confidence.


    The substitute players have a clear understanding, and they must redouble their efforts to catch up with the main players. Professional football is cruel, and talent does not necessarily succeed. Therefore, sweat and perseverance plus fighting spirit are part of the necessary qualities. .


    New players who joined the team, such as Pirlo, Shevchenko, Ferdinand, etc., also realized the fastest club they had joined!


    Millwall¡¯s ambitions will not be just what Aldridge said in his mouth, it is really reflected in the game!


    In a dark blue sportswear, Aldridge came to the training ground. The players couldn''t help but stop chatting and playing, and stood in three rows as they usually gather.


    Thirty pairs of eyes stared at Aldridge strangely, because Aldridge closed his head when he came to them.


    Everyone looked at each other, did not know what Aldridge was doing, was it silent?


    After about five minutes, Aldridge raised his head and said calmly: "In the last game, your performance was impeccable, but I made an irreparable mistake. At the last moment, I should take a substitution. Yes, it¡¯s a pity... I just took five minutes to review, well, now everything is still the same. Everyone, let¡¯s jog to warm up first.¡±


    After that, Aldridge took the lead to run, and the three captains of the team lined up with his teammates to follow Aldridge.


    During the jog, the players looked at Aldridge''s back and smiled slightly.


    They already know from the news that Aldridge admits to his mistakes in an interview, which makes the players feel very solid.


    Everyone was not satisfied with the draw, and it was very regrettable to lose the ball at the end, but it was not that Aldridge could definitely avoid that drop when he made a substitution. The most important thing is that Aldridge did not forget about it. Many people also felt that way: being in the Dream Theater It was good to get a draw.


    But Aldridge was not complacent, which reminded everyone and also kept the players aggressive.


    Next time, be sure to conquer Dream Theater!


    The training in the afternoon is relatively easy. The players in the last game are restorative training. The focus of Aldridge and the coaching staff is on the replacement players and new players, so that the newcomers can quickly integrate into the team and become familiar with the team. Tactical style.


    The players heard about Manchester United¡¯s offer of the two strikers in the team, but they did not ask Larson and Trezeguet, because throughout the afternoon, the two were the same as usual, and there was no sign of wanting to leave the team. .


    Of course, the coaching staff is also concerned about this issue, but if Aldridge does not say, they will not ask.


    When sunset was over, Aldridge disbanded the team. He returned to the office to analyze the players'' recovery status and the medical department''s report.


    Boom.


    The knock on the door rang.


    "Please come in."


    Aldridge didn''t raise his head. When the person came to the door and walked to the table, Aldridge found out that the two players, Larson and Trezeguet, were coming.


    Aldridge raised a smile, reached out to signal them to sit down, and then got up to pour water on them, and then went back to the desk and sat down, with his elbows on the table, crossed his fingers in front of him, and asked softly, "Henry Ke, David, did you ask me to talk about Manchester United¡¯s intention to introduce you?"


    The two players nodded. Trezeguet opened the door and said: "Boss, I won''t go. I want to stay here, so I don''t go to Manchester United to play the bench."


    His straight-hearted tone was very firm.


    In terms of transfers, Millwall has not responded to Manchester United¡¯s offer, and Manchester United cannot naturally contact the players. Of course, this is only the rule of football transfer. Behind the scenes of many transfers, the buyer¡¯s club begins to contact the players privately before the offer. Manchester United¡¯s failure to do so is regarded as Ferguson¡¯s respect for Aldridge, and Aldridge also abides by this principle in the process of operating the transfer. He can drill holes in the FA to plug the black gold, but some rules should still be followed. In history, Chelsea was accused of going to court, and UEFA issued a transfer ban, which violated this rule.


    But Manchester United is not waiting for Millwall. Andrew sent a text message to Audridge this morning. Someone contacted him, and it was definitely someone who could represent Ferguson''s will: Jason Ferguson.


    Jason, who works at Sky TV in London, met Andrew with a friend relationship. In fact, he gently expressed Manchester United''s treatment for the two players.


    Trezeguet''s going to Manchester United may not necessarily have a main position, but the treatment will be good, and Trezeguet feels very happy in Millwall, especially because he still has a heart of gratitude, Audric removed him from Argentina Bringing back to Europe, he firmly believed that in Millwall, he could break through a sky. Perhaps he had just grown up, and he did not yet know the gap between the giants and the grassroots.


    But after all, he came from a weak team in Argentina. He understands the importance of the main position better than many young players. It is more promising than being involved in the gold-plated giants.


    Aldridge nodded with satisfaction. He did not want to sell any player this season or even next season. Players want to stay on the initiative. Of course he is welcome.


    Larson is much older and he said calmly: "Mr. Hall analyzed the pros and cons of leaving or leaving for me. If I go to Manchester United, I want to prove that I can be better than Andy Cole by October. And it is able to integrate into Manchester United¡¯s tactical system. Boss, I don¡¯t think I need to prove to Manchester United. Here, I like Boss¡¯s tactics. I can play a huge role, even faster than I thought. So, Boss Son, I stay."


    Mr. Hall in his mouth is of course Andrew.


    Andrew can''t just analyze the team''s technical and tactical issues with him, of course, including income.


    Manchester United prepared a weekly salary equal to Millwall''s salary, 15,000 pounds, which will already be the third highest salary in the Manchester United team, after Manchester United King Cantona and goalkeeper Schmeichel, There are also championship bonuses.


    At Manchester United, if Larson succeeds, his off-court earnings will grow rapidly, which is the advantage of Manchester United''s commercialization.


    Larsson values ??career development more. He feels that Manchester United¡¯s two wings flying tactics will reduce his role by two wings. In Millwall, he has always been an important point in the offensive link. Here, he Being able to score goals head to head and kick, and play a certain role in coordinating organization, can make him a more comprehensive striker, plus the Millwall atmosphere is very good, he does not want to switch to Manchester United at the end of August, and then strive for a month and a half Prove yourself in about time, but also in a new tactical system and strange teammates environment.


    If he fails, it is very likely to sit on the bench. After all, no one will doubt that the old Trafford king of Cantona will compete with him for his main position after his comeback. It must be one of the strikers who can¡¯t move. Other Manchester United The forward is just competing to become his partner.


    Larsson did not want to take risks, especially since he firmly believed that if he worked tirelessly at Millwall, he would succeed because this is a stable and ambitious club.


    Aldridge was very happy to hear Larson say this, he nodded: "To be honest, I am afraid to lose you, but stand in your position. It is indeed a great temptation for a giant like Manchester United to send you an invitation. So I didn¡¯t directly reject Manchester United¡¯s offer, because I was worried that you might want to leave, and my rejection would cause conflicts between us. Well, since it¡¯s decided, then, you continue to work hard, no, we work together, On our road to the top, no one can leave behind in advance. This is our agreement! As for the offer from Manchester United, we will refuse it openly until the weekend.


    The two players nodded with smiles. Trezeguet wondered: "Boss, why don''t you refuse today? Isn''t it better to say it earlier? Today Robert asked me if I want to transfer. I don¡¯t want my teammates to start thinking of me as someone who will leave."


    Aldridge smiled and said, "You can tell your teammates your decision in private. Me, I''m just causing trouble for Manchester United. Now everyone knows that Manchester United has quoted you, but what about Manchester United? Especially when their forwards heard this News, what are your thoughts? Manchester United are digging up my players. Of course I won¡¯t make them feel better, just let them be absent-minded during the whole week, huh, huh.¡±


    Larson and Trezeguet realized, and smiled.

 Chapter 83： Dare to attack?

    After the start of the new season, the entire English football team did not expect that the two teams that will make the most of the limelight will be Manchester United and Millwall. In addition to a classic game, in the final stage before the transfer window closes, Manchester United wants to buy Helson and Trezeguet''s popularity in England.


    Defending champion Blake''s first performance of the defending road this season is just a dull win over the underdogs like the Queens Park Rangers.


    Arsenal, striving to recover, drew another 1:1 draw at Middlebury, Highbury.


    The Reds Liverpool scored a small victory over Xie Wednesday.


    Waiting for these games to appear uninterested.


    There are only two names hovering over England.


    Manchester United, Millwall.


    Manchester United, Millwall.


    ...


    On the day before the arrival of the second round of the league, Millwall''s official regular press conference saw a significant increase in the number of reporters attending the conference and the addition of many major newspapers.


    Groundbreaking, Aldridge brought two players to the press conference: Larson and Trezeguet.


    When playing in the First League, Aldridge appeared alone. After all, the degree of attention received was low, and most of the reporters were not interested in spending their time and effort to understand the player''s voice.


    But now it''s different. Millwall is based in the Premier League. There are also stars in the team. At least the offer made by Manchester United is at the star level.


    The reporters rallied, shining their eyes.


    Millwall has not responded for a long time, and now appears with two players in the press conference, it seems that it is time to decide.


    Whether it is a promise to transfer, a farewell ceremony for two players, or a rejection, this is big news.


    After sitting down, Aldridge said lightly into the microphone: "On Monday morning, Manchester United officially asked Millwall for two players in the team. After consultation with the players, Millwall Club fully respected and supported the player''s choice."


    Hearing Aldridge¡¯s opening remarks, the reporters were shocked and listened to this tone, it seemed that Millwall¡¯s two forwards could not hold back!


    Aldridge turned his head and smiled at Trezeguet.


    Trezegue approached the microphone and said, "I came to Millwall a year ago. I like it here. The boss helped me a lot. He gave me trust and support. I also achieved good results here. , But this is not enough. I want to achieve greater success here. I am not interested in transferring to Manchester United."


    In the end, Trezeguet was young, and he directly said that he was dead. It is estimated that his words were passed to Manchester. Even if the arrogant Manchester United appreciate him again, he will not move to introduce his thoughts in the future.


    There was an uproar among the audience.


    This kid is crazy enough!


    Not interested in traditional giants like Manchester United?


    How many clubs can you see in the world?


    The reporters recalled the past when Ferguson introduced Gascoigne. The seemingly clumsy genius was tempted by the big house sent by Tottenham, and then went to the world''s first league, Italy...


    Trezeguet''s refusal made the reporters smell like **** sharks and licked their lips with unwillingness. This is headlines.


    If he agreed.


    Then the news headline is nothing more than a script that almost everyone can guess: the French star is in the arms of the Red Devils.


    This is too normal.


    But refused, it would be different.


    "Trezeguet said to Ferguson: No! I am not interested in Manchester United!"


    Such a title can attract attention!


    Trezeguet sat up straight after speaking, a little careless.


    Larson then spoke to the microphone: "Manchester United is a club known on the streets of England. They are legendary and have a glorious history. They also have a popular inspirational story. Thanks to Manchester United for his appreciation, I want to be taken by Manchester United. It is also a kind of affirmation in disguise. However, I had a great time in Millwall. The cooperation with the boss made me enjoy football. There is an excellent team and a harmonious atmosphere here. It is worth staying. I think this is a I will never regret the decision."


    Larson''s words seemed very tactful, and refusal would not become an offense, causing unnecessary controversy.


    The reporters in the audience eagerly wrote, and nodded affirmatively.


    Yes, you should say no to Manchester United!


    Let the unbeatable Manchester United deflate, and this is worth seeing, cool, Millwall, we love here, and living here will never be unemployed!


    After the two players personally expressed their opinions, Aldridge once again said: "The rumors about the transfer are over. I believe you also know that Tottenham and Leeds have also proposed to several players in the Millwall team. In order to buy, we rejected those offers. At the same time, I will only say once here, Millwall¡¯s transfer period has ended, no players will come, no players will go, please don¡¯t harass us with other clubs, the season has been Started, our focus is on the field. Do you have any questions about tomorrow''s game?"


    Now it¡¯s not just the tabloids that interview Millwall. In terms of seniority, according to the strength, naturally the reporters of the major newspapers have priority.


    David Miller of The Times raised his hand to ask questions.


    "Mr. Hall, because of the relationship between history and tradition, there has not been much conflict between Millwall and Arsenal, but tomorrow¡¯s game is, after all, Millwall¡¯s historic first Premier League match with the city Derby, Arsenal. In the FA Cup this season, it was the Lions Stadium that lost to Millwall, and then the meritorious coach Graham will be out of class. Will this become one of the focus of the game? What do you think of Arsenal now? "


    Aldridge smiled and shook his head: "No, I correct it. Graham was fired, not because he lost the game, but because he was in a lawsuit. The FA also prohibited him from continuing to coach the team. Arsenal cannot be one. There was no coach in this year, so he left Highbury. I think that Millwall fans will enjoy the wonderful game at the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium. This is indeed the same city derby. Arsenal want to beat us. We also want to To defeat Arsenal, the focus will be on the field. They are traditional English giants, and Millwall is interested, no, and has the ambition to challenge the strong. This is a good growth experience for us. Graham Although they left Arsenal, they did not eliminate the impact on Arsenal. Arsenal are still a strong team. Last season they almost defended the European Cup of Winners. This is a good proof. In the new season, they retain the previous season¡¯s The main lineup also introduces Bergkamp and Pratt, both excellent players with strength and experience. They are stronger than last season. I also believe that coach Bruce Leochi will try to declare Assen at the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium. Na''s strong rebound!"


    Strong rebound?


    The reporters looked at each other. Arsenal, like Manchester United in the first round, failed to win the promotion.


    But everyone who has watched the game knows that Millwall and Middlesbrough are not a team on the same level. Manchester United and Millwall played a shocking game, but Arsenal and Middlesbrough played 1:1 dullly. A tie, the two sides have very few opportunities, Arsenal did not let people see the signs of recovery!


    Richard of the "Daily Mail" asked: "Audric, do you mean that Rioch will try to capture the Devil''s home of the Lions at the Lions Stadium last season? But Arsenal are not good at attacking!"


    Aldrich replied exaggeratedly: "Does Arsenal tell the world that, as the traditional English giants, the most successful club in London history, they come to the home of the newly promoted team and have no idea of ??winning? If this is the case, then I am very Happy, in this way, Millwall can proudly announce: Arsenal is afraid of Millwall. In the future, London will have the same status as North Arsenal and East Millwall! Of course, this is not possible. Arsenal are kings, how could they Give up the faith to win?"


    At the press conference, the atmosphere became active, the reporters had a smile on their faces, and Richard, who asked questions, even grinned and started writing news keywords on the book.


    As a reporter who followed Millwall from the beginning of last season, Richard was too familiar with Aldridge''s style.


    This is the prelude of the radical.


    Arsenal come to the Lion''s Den Stadium, dare to attack? dare?


    I''m afraid you are the grandsons of the tortoises, afraid of Millwall.


    Dare to attack?


    Haha, what did Millwall rely on last season?


    Professionally speaking, it is a defensive counterattack. In layman''s terms, the sprint sprint is faster than the guard!


    After seeing the news, Leoqi didn''t know how to feel it. Anyway, it must be difficult to ride a tiger.


    The press conference ended in a happy situation.


    The reporters got better news than expected, and Aldridge also depressed the two traditional giants in England.


    Manchester United''s eyes are waiting for the new star to vote, but nothing is achieved. Arsenal is trying to transform "dull football" into "beautiful football". Riocchi has a headache to face the most shining team in the new season, and is still the same city derby.


    Aldrich did everything step by step. Playing Manchester United was a good game, but he couldn''t be complacent. The league continues. Football is an endless sport, there is no real peak, only to see what kind of achievements the participants will create. Let the latecomers chase and catch up.


    At the pre-match tactical meeting, Aldridge, as always, carefully analyzed the opponent, the specific tactical layout, the players listened carefully, and they were their best stage in the successive battles.

 Chapter 84： The rogue meets the old rogue

    In July 1995, the hot girl group released the single "Wannabe". Once the song was released, it quickly became the British gold list champion. The hot girl group''s debut in the music scene created a sensational effect, making countless people look forward to their next works.


    This "Wannabe" alone has created a lot of records, and after seventeen years later, when the hot girls group reunited, they still sang this song at the London Olympics curtain call ceremony, which once again ignited the enthusiasm of the audience.


    On a sunny afternoon, southeast of London, there were already more than 10,000 people in the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium. The fans did not sit down, but stood on the stands and swayed happily with the rhythm of the stadium. What is being played repeatedly in the stadium is the hot girl group "Wannabe", but it is not Aldridge to help the hot girl group to promote, it is simply to degrade the hot girl group, or to give Millwall his face gold, the most popular at the moment The most popular songs will naturally please the most fans.


    The fans uniformly wore dark blue jerseys. This is Millwall¡¯s new season jersey. It is very commemorative. Because this is the first season of the Premier League and the first home game, the fans consciously Putting on the jersey and turning the stadium stand into a blue ocean.


    The players are still preparing in the player aisle, Aldrich came to the court early. Fans would say hello to him wherever he went.


    Aldridge walked to the east stand and walked along the aisle all the way. The fans near the aisle will ask him to sign a name or take a photo. There are more than twenty minutes away from the game. Aldrich patiently took a photo with each fan or Sign, and then go up step by step.


    When passing by a female fan, Aldridge caught her unpreparedly and kissed her fiercely in the face.


    Aldridge was startled and looked at the other party in surprise.


    The female fan in her early twenties looks like a college student, and there are three female companions around them. They saw Aldridge''s "frightened" expression, and they immediately turned back and forth. Her three companions even came together to plan. With a sip, Aldridge quickly went up.


    At the top of the East Stand is a box transformed in the summer. Although the number is not large, in order to allow the family to come to the stadium to watch the ball, in addition, it is necessary to give the live broadcast TV station a better working environment. Therefore, some seats have been reduced in the summer. Remodeled into a box.


    In the live broadcast workshop of Sky TV, the two commentators Martin Taylor and Andy Gray naturally saw the scene just now through the camera.


    Aldridge is now the focus, and as soon as he appears, the camera is aimed at him.


    "Oh, Aldridge Hall was scared by female fans! Unexpectedly, Aldridge at Old Trafford was almost like a bullfighter, and he surrendered only by kissing his face, haha!"


    And on the first floor seats under the box of the East Stand, stood five female spectators, a group of hot girls who have not yet been recognized.


    They were condescending and naturally saw the scene that just happened. The youngest Emma turned to smile at Melanie: "He is so popular, hey, he is a big handsome guy, why don''t you let me kiss?"


    Melanie hugged her and pushed in the direction of the aisle, teasing: "Then go."


    Emma couldn¡¯t help crying: ¡°I¡¯m just kidding, I don¡¯t like boys who are younger than me.¡±


    Melanie shrugged: "You are just over a hundred days older than him, and, with him, you will not think he is a little boy."


    "Eh? Then what do you mean, can I pursue him?"


    "But he will not like a willful little girl like you."


    "I''ll kiss him now!"


    "he came."


    "Ok?"


    As soon as Emma turned around and found Aldridge in front of him, he smiled, and now she had got rid of the embarrassment just now, and extended her right hand to Emma and smiled: "Welcome to watch the ball."


    Emma shook her tongue and shook hands with Aldridge, then stood honestly.


    Other members of the hot girl are actively swinging their bodies in situ with the melody of the songs in the stadium, like on the dance floor of a nightclub.


    Aldrich shook hands with them one by one, at this time the camera also followed, and the fans below looked at it, and found five hot girls, which caused a commotion.


    As a last resort, Aldridge had to invite them to the box.


    Aldrich didn''t really say hello to the hot girl group. He went to the box to say hello to his family.


    In a box in the middle, Arthur wore Millwall''s home jersey. From this season, the club''s chairmanship has been occupied by Aldridge''s father Arthur. It is not that he likes the limelight, but after entering the Premier League. As the chairman¡¯s workload will increase, Aldridge cannot stand apart, and Arthur is a hard-core fan of Millwall.


    Belly, Arthur and his wife Amelia stood in front of the window of the box, and behind them were Barnett and Andrew who were talking. The elder sister-in-law sat on the sofa, holding a little boy over a year old in her arms. It was the nephew that Aldridge had before returning to London last summer, Bowen Hall.


    The Hall family''s ambitions are most vividly reflected in his elder brother. He is now expanding his business sharply. Perhaps he is destined to be a nouveau riche in his life, but he gave his son a name with noble meaning.


    Aldrich arranged for the hot girls to be in the box next door, and then he came to the box where his family was.


    After pushing in the door, Aldridge walked to the sofa and squatted down. He shook his hands holding small Bowen and grinned, "Bowen, do you miss Uncle?"


    "mom!"


    Bowen shouted innocently to Aldridge.


    "Hello, Aldridge, he will only call Mom and Dad now."


    Sister Leah said with a cry.


    Aldridge bowed his head and kissed his head in Bowen, then stood up and hugged the two brothers, and then turned around. Mother Amelia kissed on his head and complained: "Audrie Odd, you still move home to live."


    "But I am very busy with work every day. Rest assured, I will go home three times a week. You can make my favorite beef."


    Amelia sighed helplessly.


    Arthur looked down at the Lion''s Cave Stadium with a red face. He was wearing a jersey and he didn''t have a little club chairman. He seemed like an old naughty boy.


    Aldridge approached him and hugged his shoulders. He smiled and said, "The stadium is still a bit small. After two years, a bigger one will be built, which is bigger than Old Trafford, and you will see more beautiful scenery."


    Arthur was very excited today. He also embraced Aldridge¡¯s shoulders and excitedly said: ¡°I really feel incredible. When you were not born, those brothers and I could only stand in the stands. At that time, there was no At the seat, we stood and sang and danced from the beginning of the game to the end of the game. Whoever didn¡¯t like it, we gave them a **** and scolded them. If they were unhappy, they would fight outside the game. Haha, remembering that time, really Crazy, but well, being here now, I really feel like a dream, son, you are amazing, you not only make me proud, but also make all Millwall fans proud, Manchester United look down upon us, now they are stupid? Today? The same is true for Arsenal. Beat them and let them know that from today, Millwall is the boss. They, go shit!"


    Originally Arthur was blushed with excitement, but later it was a pair of teeth and teeth. Audric felt strange. Millwall and Arsenal were not so bitter.


    "Huh? How did Arsenal offend you?"


    "It''s not the Premier League roundtable yet, Fuck! The old pervert of Edwards said that Millwall''s image harmed the interests of the Premier League. Huh, I rushed over to grab his collar, and he began to beg me for mercy and plant one! Bates¡¯ big idiot was smug and said that Stamford Bridge had ushered in Mr. World Football, let everyone learn Chelsea to contribute to the Premier League, I called him a fool, and made Chelsea into a nursing home. I was embarrassed to say that everyone else laughed. The most hateful thing is David Dane. He even proposed that the Premier League stadium cannot accommodate more than 20,000 spectators. To rent a stadium, everyone knows that it is against Millwall. Damn, I think this is not the case. Pleasantly, when I greeted his family, he shut his mouth obediently."


    Aldridge couldn''t help but close his mouth and laughed: "The group of well-dressed gangsters met a real old gangster!"


    "They just owe it!"


    Arthur said carelessly.


    The English Premier League round table is an alternative "Board Meeting".


    In a sense, the Premier League is a big company, and each boss is a shareholder. Every year, members quit and new people join.


    Like the office politics that is commonplace in the world, the Premier League round table also has a fight against gangs, which suppresses dissidents for the benefit. For example, Edwards has begun to brew the "European Super League", especially Manchester United this season because of last season. Without winning the championship and losing the qualification for the Champions League, the loss of money makes Manchester United hope to appear in the top European stadiums for a long time. David Dyne is a hero of the Premier League. The Premier League was established. He has contributed to it. He has his shadow before and after the saddle. Other small clubs rarely have the right to speak, and even if they do, it is necessary for the small clubs to form a group in order to counter the squeeze of profit distribution among the big clubs.


    But generally speaking, they will join hands with each other, no matter what kind of swordsmanship they have at the meeting, after leaving the round table, everyone will keep their secrets, otherwise, they will be expelled and suppressed. The only consensus that can be achieved is: the better the Premier League, The more money they make!


    As Aldridge was about to leave, the door of the box was pushed away from the outside. Aldridge saw Arsenal vice chairman David Dane walk into this big box with a smart and elegant middle-aged man Among.


    Aldridge froze in place, David Dane stared at Aldridge''s expression strangely, but the guests around him took the initiative to walk to Aldridge, mouth raised, and said softly: "I haven''t seen you in a long time, Aldridge. "


    Aldridge also stretched out his hand after missing, and said in surprise: "It''s been a long time, Alsena."


    Wenger, appeared in front of him!

 Chapter 85： One hundred and ten years of darkness

    Aldrich is in the limelight, and the professor still has the same demeanor. The two old friends suddenly meet again, and they are very emotional.


    "How is it in Japan?"


    "Very happy."


    "Is it a vacation to come back this time? No, the Japan J-League should be in the middle of the league now."


    "Well, I was invited by Mr. Dane, just came here to watch a ball."


    Wenger said without concealment, in fact, David Dane had already had an idea for Wenger. After Graham was sacked six months ago, Dane invited Wenger, but just went to Japan at that time. Wenger was also immersed in Monaco''s despondent five years, and politely rejected him.


    Dane firmly believed that Wenger was the right person for Arsenal''s revival, so he stayed in Wenger''s hometown of France and used all kinds of "opportunities" to connect with Wenger. This sincerity moved Wenger and Wenger''s thoughts on Europe Also growing with each passing day, this summer, Dane asked Wenger to come to England to watch the game. He arranged an Arsenal game against Nottingham Forest at home next week, but after seeing the schedule, Wenger decided to visit the Millwall away. The battle with Arsenal.


    Aldridge smiled and said, "I hope you enjoy the game here. I''ll go first. After the game, simply gather together?"


    Wenger shook his head and said: "No, I will catch the plane as soon as the game is over and I will go back to train the team."


    "Okay, I look forward to your future coming to London."


    Aldridge said hello to David Dyne and then left the box.


    "Mr. Wenger, hello, long time no see!"


    Arthur and Amelia also came to greet Wenger, and David Dane was a little strange to see this scene on the side: Did Millwall also think of Wenger to coach?


    After this idea came up, he was shaken by his head and dispelled, impossible!


    "Oh, my old friend, Dion, come over and give me a hug!"


    Arthur''s round belly turned around and hugged David Dyne so hard that he tightened Dyne''s upper body, almost making Dane breathless. On another occasion, Dane definitely pushed Arthur away, But there was a distinguished guest Wenger next to him. Dane had to grind his teeth and endure. He had to squeeze out his smile and pretend to have a good relationship with Arthur.


    He hated Millwall in his heart.


    This **** little ball club is simply a worm in the Premier League!


    Ruined stadium, rogue fans, notorious, and foolish chairman!


    Originally, Dane was not interested in coming here to watch the game, even if Arsenal came here as a guest, but Wenger said he wanted to come here to watch the ball, so he hurriedly asked for a VIP ticket from the Millwall Club, anyway, he could not bring Wen Ge and the fans were standing in the stands.


    Who knows that Millwall¡¯s tickets have long been sold out, and the rest are only boxes, and Arthur did not give the empty boxes to Dane, so the other party and he watched the game in the same box, even if the Premier League did not sit side by side. The tradition of watching the game, but this arrangement can be regarded as Millwall¡¯s friendship with the landlord. Dane has no choice but to accept it. He knows what Arthur this old man is doing. Isn¡¯t he trying to show his power at home?


    We are cultural people, with qualities and accomplishments, and don''t have the general knowledge of rogues!


    endure!


    Besides, who wins and who loses is not necessarily!


    After David Dane and Arthur "greeted", he put away his contempt and solemnly shook hands with Hall''s son and daughter Barnett, and he talked a little more.


    Despite his contempt for Arthur, Dane still admired his three sons. Barnett was a newcomer in the British business community. Andrew¡¯s brokerage company was flourishing. Aldrich was undoubtedly a big talk.


    If it weren¡¯t for Aldridge¡¯s age and background, if he was a part-time worker, David Dane would probably choose between Wenger and Aldridge.


    Barnett just followed social etiquette. He didn¡¯t pay much attention to David Dyne. The elite and even the big crocodile he had dealt with in the British business community were countless. This kind of club vice chairman is difficult to look at, and he has always thought that Aldridge chose to be a football coach is a Qu Qu!


    Just two days ago, Microsoft released the WINDOWS95 operating system, the stock skyrocketed, and this new product is already brewing into different global markets, showing that Microsoft will have a qualitative leap in the next period of time.


    As early as after the Black Monday eight years ago, Barnett¡¯s long-term preferred investment is Microsoft¡¯s stock, which comes from Aldrich¡¯s judgment. Now every minute and second, Barnett¡¯s value is following Microsoft¡¯s The stock price is soaring and growing rapidly.


    He felt that Aldridge was the kind of genius who could make money while sleeping, but this younger brother wanted to be a football coach who was exhausted and tried his heart. Barnet felt sorry, but he never persuaded Aldridge. The brothers in the family have aspirations and never interfere with each other. There is only one position: support.


    Wenger walked up to the box and glanced over the entire Lion''s Cave Stadium.


    He came here to watch the ball almost a year ago. At that time, he was sitting in the stands. He didn''t think the stadium was special, but today, it is a spectacular sight.


    In addition to the inconspicuous red in the corner of the North Grandstand, the grandstands of the entire stadium turned into a blue ocean, while the South Grandstand attracted the most attention.


    It was a pre-match cheer organized by Lion Roar fans. They spent more than half a month drawing a picture that covered the entire South Stand.


    The content on the scroll is actually very simple, just copying the official first-team promotion poster of Millwall in the new season.


    Just like the posters of last season, Aldridge in suit and suit stood in the center, with a slightly wild and confident smile, and his head was standing with his hands in his pockets.


    Behind Aldridge, the first-team 30 players were lined up in a V in their home dark blue jerseys, and they were fierce!


    Lion Roar fans made the poster into a big picture, lifted by everyone in the South Stand, and shocked the whole stadium!


    The live footage repeatedly played this picture before the game.


    When the players of both sides started to enter the field, Aldridge had returned to the coach''s seat. He stood on the sidelines and waited indifferently for the game to begin.


    In front of the coach of the visiting team not far from him, Arsenal''s new season coach Bruce Leoch also stood there. He looked dignified and obviously attached great importance to this war.


    In the summer, he succeeded the caretaker coach Horston. Rioc¡¯s pressure was huge. He wanted to change Arsenal, but he lacked some courage. Especially when a new coach took office, the first must be to eliminate the impact of his predecessor on the team, but Arsenal''s situation is a bit special. The four-month coaching of Horston is not worth mentioning, and Graham is a non-competitive factor. Graham''s eight-year reign marks the brand and wants to eliminate non-one-day achievements.


    In particular, these players in the team can be regarded as successful. Leoqi can actually only adjust the status of the team without daring to reform drastically. Otherwise, he will be ousted by the locker room gangsters.


    Therefore, Arsenal''s tactical play this season is still 532 laid down in the Graham era.


    "Audience friends, welcome to the Lions Stadium at Millwall with our live streaming camera. I am Martin Taylor. Today I will explain the game with the familiar Andy Gray."


    "Martin, what do you think of this London Derby?"


    "This will be a spear and shield game. Haha, Millwall¡¯s offense has already impressed everyone in the last round. Arsenal have been known for their defense for the past eight years. Suffocating season lost the ball, 18 goals. But Arsenal''s recent situation is not good, from the past steady state became turbulent, less than a year, the third head coach appeared in the coach, Graham, Horston, It¡¯s Rioch now. I think Rioch will play conservatively at the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium. After all, the last game was at home and they didn¡¯t win the newly promoted Middlesbrough. The pressure on his shoulder was great.¡±


    "But if Arsenal only took a draw at Lions Cave Stadium, I think, Arsenal fans and management, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be satisfied. I¡¯m not underestimating Millwall, but in the traditional impression, everyone There is a deep-rooted view of Millwall¡¯s fighting power. This year is Millwall¡¯s 110th anniversary, but Millwall has not won any weighty championships. Of course, if the Southern League champion one hundred years ago is considered a champion Well, Millwall hasn¡¯t tasted the title of a champion for almost a hundred years. In contrast, Arsenal, they are the last king team to rule England."


    "You are right. It is precisely because of this repression, brewing, persistence, longing, and perseverance for 110 years of complex emotions that the Millwall fans now look unusually fanatical, yet so capable. Understand. Will Aldridge be the key to Millwall¡¯s end of the crownless era? I think if they can keep the current team, the championship is not far away for them.¡±


    "Yes, now the outside world is paying attention to Millwall, and the entire English football team is speculating that the average age of the starting lineup is only 23 years old. Millwall is far from reaching their peak, perhaps within three to five years, This team can challenge the order of England¡¯s rulers, but only if Millwall can leave these players and not be taken away by other teams."


    "The stay of Larsson and Trezeguet is a good signal, at least it shows that this club will not be shaken by the ideal of money. The transfer price of two players for ¡ê12 million, I Many teams in the Premier League want to switch to it, and they have already opened an account to complete the transaction and count the money."


    "Okay, let¡¯s take a look at the two sides starting today. Millwall is the same as the last game. Goalkeeper: Keller, defenders: Thuram, Stam, Southgate, Neal, midfielder. : Schneider, Makelele, Nedved, Piray, strikers: Larson, Trezeguet. Arsenal¡¯s starting lineup today is, goalkeeper: Seaman, defender: Winterburn, Adams, Bald, Keon, Dixon, midfielder: Mason, Jensen, Pratt, striker: Wright partner Bergkamp. Millwall''s 442 against Arsenal''s 532."


    Looking at the Bergkamp on the field ready to kick off, Aldridge''s face did not change color, and he said in secret: Ice Prince? Let you freeze in place today!

 Chapter 86： Tactical restraint

    Millwall played Arsenal''s London Derby at home. After the game started, it was not the players on the court but the fans in the stands that first set off the atmosphere.


    The huge scroll on the south stand has been removed, the roar members all stood up, and Brady stood at the bottom edge of the stand. He raised his right hand and waved rhythmically.


    one two Three!


    "Sucker! Sucker! Arsenal!"


    one two Three!


    "Sucker! Sucker! Arsenal!"


    ...


    From the South Stand, there was a mocking shout of shouts, and a uniform voice echoed across the court.


    This is not a Millwall fan''s ingenuity. Arsenal has been infamous for many years, and all opponents in England will laugh at Arsenal''s football.


    However, the roar still has an original part. The word "Arsenal" paused rhythmically when the entire stand fans shouted.


    Mocking satire has a wonderful meaning!


    Because in English, especially British English, the first half of arsenal''s pronunciation is very similar to the **** that is interpreted as stupid ass, stupid fool, and ass.


    Arsenal''s players have not been laughed at, but today in the small stadium of the Lion''s Cave Stadium, the roar from the roar lingers on the ears for a long time, and they immediately feel humiliated.


    Aldridge could not help laughing when he heard the weird "Arsenal" pronunciation on the sidelines.


    That''s right, otherwise, where is Derby?


    But after the opening, it was Arsenal who took the initiative on the court.


    Rioch did not dare to easily change the defensive formation of the five-back, but he made the two full-backs boldly stepped forward to participate in the offense. When Winterbourne and Dickson went to the frontcourt, the number of Arsenal''s offense reversed the disadvantage.


    Because it is a five-back with a defensive midfielder, Arsenal''s frontcourt offense can only rely on the fullback to go straight up and down, the center offense depends on the center-back and forward cooperation.


    In the first round of the Premier League and Manchester United, Millwall cracked down today. Nedved retreated and Makelele formed a double midfielder, forming a barrier at the front of Millwall''s penalty area and directly cutting off the Arsenal frontline. Contact with the midfielder.


    Ian Wright and Dennis Bergkamp in their thirties were unable to obtain the midfield delivery of the shells in the wall of Millwall, and Bergkamp¡¯s active retreat will also be marked by Makklele. He pulled back deeper, and Makelele gave up, always maintaining security in the area.


    Today Millwall voluntarily gave up the fight for the midfield with Arsenal, and instead compressed the offensive space of the opponent to achieve a stronger defense in the dangerous area. Whether Arsenal is a breakthrough by Bergkamp or Pratt plugs in to try to cooperate , Could not threaten Millwall''s goal.


    Seeing Arsenal return several times without success, the offensive players were frozen, Aldridge was expressionless on the sidelines, but inadvertently aimed at the court box.


    Professor, you came just today!


    Millwall today is using the tactics of Arsenal''s rebirth two years later.


    Vieira plus Petit, who was transformed into a lower back, compressed the opponent''s offensive space, inserted Vieira in the counterattack, relying on two wingers and forward Bogkamp''s retreat response, then attacking the gorgeous Assen Na, now Millwall can also play such an attack!


    Position and role on the field, Makelele and Petit, Nedved and Vieira, Larson and Bergkamp are very similar.


    Taking the initiative to give up near the middle circle to start a frantic rush, Aldridge is attracting snakes out of the hole.


    Arsenal, who are used to playing defense, must give them space to attack, but they haven¡¯t played for many years, playing the kind of 1:0 football, thinking that with Pratt and Bergkamp, ??the team¡¯s offense can be refreshed. Yet?


    Ten minutes before the opening proved the weakness of Arsenal''s position battle!


    The offensive cannot be played. Arsenal can only increase the number of offenses. Winterburn and Dixon from the side can enrich the offense, but Millwall does it very simple. Neil and Thuram go up and match up. Son, one for one!


    In this way, Millwall has no disadvantages in terms of number of defensive lines.


    In the box, David Dane, who was sitting in the position to watch the game, continuously introduced Wenger to the outstanding players in the Arsenal team, and also carried some contempt for Millwall, thinking that the last Millwall and In the game Manchester United played, half of them were Manchester United''s replacements. The teenager overshadowed the Red Devils. The other half was Millwall''s excellent play. Manchester United''s defense is not comparable to Arsenal.


    Naturally, he is the wife of the king, and Arsenal can boast. In addition to the stars in the team, there is only defense.


    Wenger, who was silent, did not respond. If he had a tactical book in hand, he would clearly explain to Dane the invisible situation on the field.


    Arsenal seemed to be a fierce offensive, but it could not penetrate into Millwall''s offensive hinterland. Bogkamp couldn''t receive the ball near the penalty area and pulled it out to catch the ball. The pass could not form a tacit understanding with Wright. Unable to get rid of Makelele, the two full-backs approached the assists and Millwall''s full-backs formed a pair. In fact, for Arsenal, the situation is in jeopardy.


    Arsenal''s defense is no longer stable after the full-back assists. However, the weakness of this line of defense is not known whether Aldridge can catch it.


    Pratt took the ball in the midfield, and several ground attacks could not penetrate the dense defense in front of Millwall''s penalty area. He chose a high ball long pass. He wanted to try to find Wright directly to see the effect, but the ball was not unexpected. After being headed by Stam, the falling ball reached the foot of Nedved. Bogkamp only gave a symbolic press to Nedved after accelerating the breakthrough and gave up.


    Pratt, Mason and Jensen lined up on the midfield defense line. After a short adjustment by Nedvide, he made a long pass and directly passed the midfield to pass the ball to the left. Pire was already waiting there. !


    Seeing this scene, Wenger raised his lips slightly: It seemed that Aldridge was already prepared.


    That''s right, Aldridge made the full-backs and Arsenal''s full-backs form a pair, instead of letting the two full-backs retreat, the purpose is obvious.


    After Pires took the ball and took the high-speed dribble to the bottom line, Arsenal only had three central defenders on the defensive line, and the back defense was also to closely follow the high-speed plug Nedved.


    However, Millwall''s offense has a clear advantage.


    Pire took the ball and the three teammates running forward with him were Trezeguet, Larson, Schneider.


    Pire didn''t cut inwards. He went to the black ground and went to the bottom line. When he traversed the parallel position of the big penalty area line, he had a disguised inward movement. At this time, Arsenal''s defensive line had to divide its troops. To stop him.


    The distance between the three central defenders in the penalty area was widened, and there was an empty goal in front of the goal. Piret crossed the front of the penalty area before Adams stepped forward to block him. Trezeguet and Bald faced each other. He cleverly chose to miss the ball. The ball rolled back from his and Bald¡¯s feet. Larson had already prepared. He rushed to the goal and took two steps back. He had enough time to prepare for the ball. But a shooter like him didn¡¯t need much time in the penalty area. He pushed lightly into the lower right corner of the goal. Seaman abandoned the goal and rushed towards him. He opened his arms and lowered the center of gravity. He could only watch the ball stretch from him. Rolled over the open feet, and then, the Lion''s Cave Stadium cheered!


    "Larsen! Arsenal''s defense line surrendered completely. They couldn''t touch the ball. They didn''t even have the opportunity to fight against the foul. Millwall took the lead when the scene seemed to be not dominant. They used a textbook style. The counterattack penetrated through the gate guarded by Seaman. Larson, the shooter, was too calm in front of the door. Seeing his adjustment from running to ready to catch the ball, he confidently cast the shot. He definitely has the potential to become a top scorer!"


    After Larson scored a goal, he ran to the grandstand with ease, and his teammates rushed over.


    They love this wonderful feeling so much!


    Is it more enjoyable to break through Arsenal''s gate, lead the opponent in the derby, and watch the fans cheering wildly for them?


    Aldridge only applauded, and the game only started for more than ten minutes. There is no need to be complacent. Moreover, the opponent is not a strong player.


    Whether it is Manchester United who faced a big change in the first battle and lacked the soul of Cantona, or now this Arsenal, which is in a confused stage of transformation, the two traditional giants have not reached the state of their heyday, Millwall also has great potential, Not only is the growth of players, but even the technical and tactical aspects are not fully formed, Aldridge will not be complacent, the road is still long.


    Rioch stood on the sidelines just to encourage the players, and he couldn''t do much else.


    Arthur celebrated happily in the box, and even danced, cheering Millwall''s name aloud. Compared with Arthur''s triumph, David Dane, who was in a suit and leather suit and had a haircut, was a bit ugly.


    I was still boasting about Arsenal with Wenger and lost the ball in a blink of an eye. This slap is really loud! Still smoke it yourself!


    An elegant smile appeared on Wenger''s face. He whispered: "Mr. Dane, do you know why Arsenal lost this ball?"


    "Probably the players have not recovered from the state of the holiday, the pace of entering the game this season is relatively slow."


    Dane made an unreasonable reason, did not win Middlesbrough at home in the first round, and now he has lost the ball again as a guest at Millwall. It has really lost the face of traditional giants. How ugly is Arsenal when Graham coached, at least The results are guaranteed, but now, Arsenal is really on the edge of the cliff.


    Wenger shook his head slightly: "If Arsenal can''t make a change, they will continue to lose the ball, because Millwall''s tactics are restraining Arsenal."


    Dane frowned and asked, "Huh? Why do you see it?"


    "It''s very simple. When Arsenal removed the goalkeeper when defending, it was a three-back plus a defensive midfielder. When attacking, it was six people. Millwall also defended six people. Four defenders plus two midfielders. Because of the past tactics, Arsenal¡¯s cooperation cannot match the number of players through the Millwall defense line. After being counterattacked, there are four people in Millwall¡¯s attack and four in Arsenal defense. Yes, there are individuals in the Arsenal defense who are midfielders, and Millwall can be said to be lined up or dished out by four people, and they use the vertical width to form a four-and-three number advantage, unless Arsenal¡¯s midfielder can Go back to the penalty area and become a defender, otherwise, Millwall¡¯s similar chance of scoring just now will appear. Hold it and Millwall will score again."


    Dane thought and nodded, "Where is the crux of the matter?"


    "Formation. Arsenal used to play 532. If it is 352, there may be a tacit understanding to defend such a counterattack. In fact, if Arsenal let go of the strong team posture in the past, be patient with 532, which in turn compresses Mill. Wall''s offensive space, then this game will have a high chance of winning on the basis of a draw, because Aldridge must want to win this game, but he caught Arsenal''s psychological weakness that he wants to win. , I admire his tactical attainments."


    "Is it a weakness to want to win the game?"


    "Of course, strong confrontation, first of all to contain the opponent''s offense, unless you have the advantage of absolute control of the game, but this is difficult to see in the English league, because of the physical confrontation strength here and the referee scale plus rhythm changes. "


    "Thank you, I get it. Mr. Wenger, I think you will make Arsenal brilliant again when you coach Arsenal. At least how to make this team change, you have a clear idea in your mind."


    "Now I have had a great time in Japan and I have no intention of returning to Europe to teach."

 Chapter 87： Shadow of superstar

    After losing the ball, Arsenal involuntarily began to play their old tactics, defensive counterattack.


    This is understandable. They were actually the first time they faced the Millwall players. When they played against the FA Cup last season, Arsenal played against Millwall¡¯s bench. Now they start with 11 players on the court. None of them were on the court at the time.


    Millwall controlled the pace of the game without any hassle. Arsenal contracted and Millwall also contracted. The local teamwork was extremely smooth and the opponents were crowded in the penalty area. Then Millwall''s striker withdrew from long range The attack ends.


    Aldridge has a good sense of battlefield supervision, he is not familiar with Graham, but he knows Arsenal over the past few years, wishful thinking that Arsenal is just copying the trend, in Italy at this time the famous chain defensive foundation Adding some elements in line with the English League, it did make Arsenal create a short-term glory.


    In the 100 years of football, only Italy can sublimate defense to art on the green field. When broadcasting technology and football culture promotion are not yet developed, Italy has had a shocking effect at least in Europe.


    Let the people in the football circle suddenly realize: How did football become like this?


    From 85 to 1989, the five league champions of the Italian league, the season with the lowest number of goals lost 14 and the most is 19, and the number of goals, in addition to the 89 "high yield" goals in Inter Milan in 1989, the other four The number of goals scored by the championship is 41, 42, 43, 43.


    At that stage, Graham joined Arsenal and started to build a 1:1 football with the same defense as Italian football.


    Italy''s chain defense is still improving. In the summer of 1994, AC Milan won the league title, but the number of goals scored was 36 and 15.


    After ten years, twenty years later, such data will scare people!


    Whether Italy''s tactics are the most advanced and representative of the trend, it is not Aldridge''s evaluation because the Italian league with the reputation of the small World Cup is on the cusp of the storm, and the wood show is bound to be destroyed by the wind, which has a mixed reputation for Italy''s football style. For a long time, quite a few voices believed that Italian football philosophy was anti-football, and it was an ugly football that destroyed beautiful football.


    But it is undeniable that the heads of the Italian academies are frantically studying defensive tactics, constantly improving the chain defense, and upgrading the defense to art, and jointly creating the most prosperous Italian league!


    Italian teams began to dominate the European arena. They are not regular Champions League visitors, but regular Champions League finalists. They have cast the strongest shields in the world, waiting for countless strikers who want to prove themselves. Blade Ideal came to Italy to try.


    Such defensive tactics can survive, develop, and eventually reach their peak in Italy, and have a long duration.


    However, in England, Arsenal''s glory is difficult to continue, because this does not meet the football culture of this country. After Graham''s Arsenal tasted the taste of the championship, the talents of the players are still suppressed, and then lose their motivation and passion, lame Youth.


    Now, Arsenal are seeking change and need a suitable mentor. Wenger did not return to Europe this summer. Audridge believes that this choice is correct. Although Leoqi is not well-known in the football coaching industry, he But it is an important person in Arsenal''s transition and transition. At least he gave players and teams a transitional adaptation period in style transition, which made the subsequent transformation of Wenger less difficult.


    The situation on the court well reflected the pain of Arsenal at this stage. In the more than twenty minutes after Millwall led, they defended conservatively. Only four people attacked in the frontcourt, the offense did not improve, so they suppressed. Live, the fullback voluntarily rushed up again.


    Otherwise, what else?


    What they are good at is 1:0.


    But now they are 0:1 behind.


    Aldridge calmly looked at the glued situation on the field and thought: another ball, another one, will completely defeat Arsenal!


    Winterbourne''s pass was successfully blocked by Makelele''s foot. Nedvide received the pass and passed to the right. Schneider took the ball and drove forward.


    With the previous experience of conceding the ball, Arsenal''s overall speed of defense was extremely fast, not anxious to rush, but first set the defensive position before slowing down the opponent''s rhythm, and even ran back to the penalty area to compensate for the disadvantage of the number of defenders .


    Schneider took the ball up and down to pass the ball to the middle. Nedvide ran all the way forward and left unmarked. After taking the ball, he did not choose a long-range shot. Instead, he entered the penalty area and planned to pass Adams with speed.


    Just as the two passed by, Adams chose to shovel. He is a first-class tackle defender. Nedvide slipped while accelerating and fell directly into the penalty area.


    Between the electro-optical flint, neither the audience nor the coach on the side could see clearly what was going on. Only from afar saw Nedved fell into the penalty area, and Adams dropped the shovel naturally into the penalty area. Kick away.


    The referee Boll stopped the game and reached for the penalty spot in the penalty area of ??Arsenal.


    "Tony Adams put the shovel, Pavel Nedved fell in the penalty area. Through slow-motion playback, we clearly saw that Adams shoveled the ball first, and Nedved did not seem to fall because of physical contact. He lost his balance one second before Adams tackled the ball, and referee Boer decisively awarded a penalty. This penalty is debatable."


    "Anyway, this is a good opportunity for Millwall. If you expand your lead before the end of the first half, then Arsenal''s hopes of a comeback will be very slim."


    Adams saw the referee awarded a penalty, he climbed up angrily, shouting at Nedved: "Liar! I didn''t touch you at all! I went for the ball!"


    In 1994, FIFA promulgated the stipulations for strict punishment, but it has not been implemented yet. The actual implementation is in the 98 World Cup. It is now a process of warming up and ideological preparation for the New Deal.


    The basis of Ball''s punishment is definitely not the dangerous action of shoveling, only that he thinks that Adams first knocked down Nedved.


    Faced with several players from Arsenal, Nedved climbed up and waved his head calmly to the referee Boll for the first time and shook his head: that was not a penalty!


    Seeing his action, Arsenal''s players were stunned.


    Adams'' eyes widened, and his mouth that wanted to continue to scold could not be closed slightly.


    The referee Boll was surrounded by several Arsenal players. Winterburn pointed to Nedved and said: "He all admitted that it was not a penalty!"


    Nedved came over at this time, he told the referee in the simplest words: "I just slipped by myself, he didn''t foul, there was no penalty."


    The scene is very strange.


    The Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium is silent, and less than 20,000 fans in the stands are staring at the Arsenal penalty area. There, Arsenal players surround the referee, and the referee communicates with Nedved.


    In England where modern football originated, football was originally a tenacious head-to-head battle between fighters, and even the first official football rules stipulated that even the ball behind him could not be passed, either a cross back or a breakthrough, this is the real man The contest is very similar to the contest between ancient Chinese knights.


    The master has passed the trick to abide by the gentleman. If a brother of the Shimen attacked or helped by the side, he would be despised by his martial arts.


    Therefore, the favorite of England fans is authentic British tough guys, and players like Nedved who are tough and not afraid of confrontation, even if he falls and climbs, he can win cheers, because in him, he can Seeing the qualities most appreciated and admired by British fans, rather than the fancy and cunning "European players", if Nedved falls, even Millwall fans who can''t be proud of them will reject him!


    Even wars have rules, how can football tolerate trivial means to deceive victory?


    But now, they obviously see Nedved communicating with the referee, asking the referee to revoke the penalty, otherwise why not tell the referee? Just go to kick a penalty.


    Millwall players akimbo and looked at Aldridge on the sidelines.


    Boss, what should I do?


    We have a penalty, but the deputy captain seems to be "betrayed".


    The players on the court actually admire Nedved''s move, but they need to look at Aldridge''s reaction. In any case, now this scene, the will of the head coach is very important.


    Seeing that scene, Aldridge stayed in place.


    He was greatly shocked!


    Millwall Club, he is the boss and the head coach. It can be said that the emperor here is not like a sword of Damocles hanging on the head of his peers, but he has always had an inexpressible weight in his heart. Falling, let him bear huge pressure.


    He can introduce star seedlings for the team, but he is afraid that he has no ability to cultivate these good seedlings into talents. If any star really "dies" in his hands, he will regret for life, because it directly changed the fate of a star, It will give him a "sinner" shadow.


    But when he saw Nedved''s action at this moment, he seemed to see Nedved''s body shining brightly.


    That''s the light of the superstar!


    Superstars not only need ball skills, but also personality charm and spiritual temperament.


    Aldrich''s eyes were a little wet, and the heart said silently: Thank you, Pavel, you shocked my soul.


    Aldridge turned around, raised his hands, and applauded above his head. He encouraged all the fans in the stands to applaud Nedved''s performance at this moment.


    Fans at the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium stood up and clapped their palms as Aldridge moved.


    Many fans nodded while clapping their hands!


    Even though Millwall was once criticized for being rough and brutal, they never lost the bottom line.


    Nobody will feel glorious like the swindler thief!


    If you can''t win in an upright manner, just lose in an upright manner!


    Football games and the like have always been intolerable.


    The Lion''s Cave Stadium echoed applause for Nedved, and even Arsenal fans stood up and applauded. The sound of chaos continued for a long time. This scene became a classic picture of Millwall.

 Chapter 88： Blitz

    Although Nedvide repeatedly explained to the referee Boer what happened in the penalty area, Bore shook his head and ignored it. The referee''s change of sentence was not without precedent, but it was absolutely prudent and cautious, because this is a self-career The denial of ability, overturning his own penalty? Incidentality will reduce authority.


    Perhaps just because of the conservative and stubborn nature of the British, Boll finally signaled that Millwall must take a penalty.


    Arsenal''s players are mad, but they have nowhere to argue. They don''t hate Millwall, a derby opponent, but resent the referee.


    In desperation, in addition to Seaman''s goal in the penalty area, the others went out, and Millwall players turned their heads to look at Audridge on the sidelines.


    What about this penalty?


    The first penalty shooter in the team was Larson, but Aldridge pointed to Nedved on the sidelines and the penalty was given to him.


    Larsson had no comments. Millwall players did not even stand in the penalty area to prepare for a supplementary shot. Everyone stood far behind.


    Bol blew his whistle, and Nedvide walked slowly to the penalty spot. His toes lightly touched the ball before turning his head and running back.


    Seaman stepped forward to pick up the ball and was also convinced by Nedved''s move, applauding him actively.


    There was warm applause again at the scene.


    When Nedved ran back, Adams passing by said sincerely to him: "Sorry."


    He just cursed a lot of dirty words just now, but Nedved ignored it.


    Looking back at Adams, Nedved continued to run back, not caring.


    "Andy, this will not be a great moment on the greenery field, but this will definitely be a classic textbook-style scene. Nedved told the world with practical actions that the football field should defeat its opponents brightly and honestly, Waller If he can see this scene, he should be ashamed of himself, even though he has put Germany at the top of the world, but no one except German fans will adore his fake throw in the 90 World Cup final."


    "All fans are applauding Nedved''s behavior. This is what we should encourage. Not every player who falls in the penalty area is violated or falls, and the referee sometimes awards unfairness. This It is part of football, but I am happy to see that there are players who can take the initiative to maintain the fairness of the game. There are too many negative aspects of football unscrupulous, but Nedved has set an example of fair play, and Mill Wall coach Aldrich Hall, the replay of the lens tells us that he very much agrees with Nedved''s behavior. I think tomorrow, there will be more neutral fans who like Aldridge."


    The English fans who have experienced the injury of Maradona¡¯s God¡¯s hand hate cheating on the court the most. Even if Irving fell on the field on behalf of the national team, it is not understood at home, and it is more of ridicule and ridicule. 90 years In the World Cup final, the football emperor Beckenbauer led the powerful German team and the defending champion Argentine division final into the finals. The German team had the advantage but could not break the goal. The referee missed a penalty from Germany and Germany Waller swindled a penalty kick with a false throw before the end of the game. With this penalty kick, the German team once again stood on the top of the world, but Waller''s behavior was strongly condemned after the game.


    The first half ended quickly, and players from both sides returned to the locker room.


    Aldridge waited for the players to sit on the stool in the locker room, and then gave them two minutes to clean up their sneaker jerseys, or take a drink and calm down.


    "Pavel, you did the right thing."


    Aldridge said calmly to Nedved. Nedved looked up at Aldridge without nodding.


    Looking at other players, Aldridge said lightly: "I am a coach eager to win, and you are also players eager to win, but we cannot be polluted by utilitarian desires, we can be inferior to our opponents, then we use diligence and Sweat to make up, we can not match our opponents in strength, then we will use fighting spirit and unity to improve strength, but we will not tarnish the word victory, do not debase the meaning of victory by sneaking and slipping, maybe that will let us win The next important game, to win an important championship, but invisible, we will lose more, once some mistakes are made, there is no chance of correction."


    Many players listened very seriously and nodded solemnly.


    After another silence, Aldridge walked to the tactical board and began to arrange the tactical tasks in the second half. There was no major change, only a rhythm change and a slightly more detailed tactical intention.


    Before the start of the second half, Aldridge observed the expression of Arsenal players on the sidelines and saw that Arsenal''s fighting spirit has recovered a lot, and his eyes contain the desire to win.


    Leoqi was not an incompetent coach. At least Arsenal, who had been somewhat discouraged in the first half, regained momentum after halftime.


    That''s fine.


    The atmosphere in the stands was still hot, and in the cheer of cheering, the second half of the game began.


    Arsenal unified their thoughts, Leoqi made some adjustments to the back defense, strengthened the defense, and let Adams play a trailing back defender among the three central defenders. There was a little shadow of the first-generation chain defense in the big international era. Temporary changes, I don¡¯t know if there are any wonders.


    Winterbourne and Dixon stepped forward to assist steadily. Bergkamp withdrew the shadow striker to share the organizational task. Arsenal''s formation has become very strange. After all, it is adjusted on the basis of 532. The formation of the formation is inevitable. Too.


    Arsenal played a offensive. After Bogkamp''s retreat and plugged in with Pratt, he passed the ball to Wright''s foot. Wright kicked out of the penalty area and shot at no angle. Keller put the ball in his arms with ease.


    Aldridge swept his chin slightly towards Arsenal''s half, and Millwall started a good counterattack!


    The counter-attack started with the goalkeeper kicking in. Keller tossed the ball and sent the ball to the side of Thuram. Thuram started to take the ball forward. Arsenal did not expect Thuram to participate in the attack. A little flustered, and even more unexpected for them, Millwall except the two central defenders and midfielder Makelele, all other players are running forward, like a blue whirlwind, crushing the city.


    Thuram made a direct pass to Schneider, Schneider knocked Nedved, two over one, Schneider set the bottom and then received the ball and returned to the middle of the foot. At the top of the attack was Trezeguet , He went deep into the penalty area, Larson was behind, pressing the big penalty line, Schneider''s return ball was rolled in front of him, and he shot against the ball, Arsenal''s back line has been retreating, the ball passed Very fast, Boulder stopped suddenly and stepped forward to block Larsson''s shot. It was obviously slower. The ball passed over his shoulder, and it seemed that he heard the sound of breaking in his ears.


    Seaman flew to the top left corner of the goal, but when he rushed to the position, the ball had already reached the dead end.


    Millwall leads 2:0!


    "Larsen! Hot Larsson! His shot from the big penalty area line sent the ball into the corner of the goal. Millwall''s counterattack from the goalkeeper was surprisingly fast this time! Their counterattacks have repeatedly screened their opponents'' defenses to see the slow motion playback. After Keller dropped the ball to Thuram, to the end, Millwall''s fast counterattack took 13 seconds! How fast is it?"


    Seeing this goal, Aldridge closed his eyes and raised his mouth, waving a fist in front of him with one hand.


    Arsenal will definitely strengthen the offensive in the second half. What Millwall does is not to retreat more conservatively, but to set off a flash strike!


    As long as Arsenal attacked, the deep space behind was the stage for Millwall to counterattack, and their fist could not hit Millwall, then Millwall''s quick counterattack would sound the death knell for the gunman!


    Larson, who scored twice, ran along the sidelines, listening to the screams and cheers of fans on the ear with one hand.


    A song rang from the South Stand.


    "No one likes us, it doesn''t matter, we have Larson!"


    Rioch seemed a bit frustrated. The reformed Arsenal encountered a stable Millwall. The sharpness of Arsenal that has been worn away in recent years cannot be rebuilt in a while, but Millwall is like a newborn lion. , Full of hunger and thirst for victory, the sharp edge is to taste the blood of the enemy!


    The fighting spirit mobilized in the midfield disappeared in an instant, and Arsenal players stood on the field with their arms akimbo, a look of powerless confusion.


    Last season, they lost to Millwall''s bench. They can comfort themselves because Graham''s unstable position, coupled with the team''s record, the team can''t work hard together, but today?


    Encountered Millwall''s main lineup, the offense was a mess, and the once proud defense was full of loopholes.


    Where is the dawn of victory?


    After Arsenal kicked off the ball again, Aldridge discovered a phenomenon that made him tolerant.


    Arsenal started playing their usual defense again.


    They were like ostriches, curled up, looked up at the outside world, and found that there was a danger, so they retracted their heads again to ensure that they were safe from harm.


    Leoqi walked back to the coach seat and sat down. There were still forty minutes in this game, but he did not expect to make a comeback.


    After all, it''s a derby game, you can''t lose too much, although Millwall is not Arsenal''s main derby opponent, Tottenham is.


    Arsenal''s offensive system can be said to be a new start. It is not that Bergkamp and Pratt will immediately become sharp. The players that Leoqi can rely on are all on the court, facing the ascending Millwall, Avoiding being hit back is the right choice.


    Millwall was still unsatisfied. In the case of Arsenal''s active defense, ten minutes before the end of the game, Trezeguet and Larsen unexpectedly swapped positions. Larson scored into the penalty area and took the top of the Pires pass. The ball grabbed the point once again and penetrated the gate guarded by Seaman.


    Larson, who staged a hat-trick, became the best player in the game. The arsenal defeated the Lion''s Cave Stadium by three goals!

 Chapter 89： 100 million debt

    Millwall''s first Premier League derby in London ended with a three-ball victory over traditional giant Arsenal. David Dane and Wenger watched the whole game in the box.


    David Dane tried to suppress his anger, disguised a calm look on the face, but in fact he was about to explode.


    When Millwall scored a goal, Arthur in the same box celebrated madly. After Larson scored the third goal, the old rogue even opened a bottle of wine and gave it back to David Dane. Poured a cup, did not regard the other party as Arsenal''s chairman, but like Millwall fans.


    David Dianqiang squeezed out his smile and refused Arthur''s good intentions, Wenger was out of tolerance, and naturally he would not drink.


    If the live TV footage was taken of Dane and Arthur toasting and drinking in the box, he, Arsenal''s vice chairman, might return to Highbury and take the initiative to submit his resignation.


    Dane made up his mind that at the end of the year, after the end of the J-League season in Japan, Wenger was invited to coach again. After all, Wenger¡¯s inability to leave Japan is also a contractual restriction. Due to human considerations, Wenger can¡¯t Nagoya Whale Eight coached in a year and then left.


    It was just that Dane didn¡¯t expect that Arsenal¡¯s fiasco at the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium seemed to wake them up. After this game, Arsenal¡¯s performance under Leoqi became better and better. It also made Dane unable to persuade the board to dismiss Leoqi in the winter and turned to Wenger.


    After the game, Millwall''s players thanked the fans on the spot according to the usual practice. Audridge walked back to the player channel and was interviewed in the mixed zone. He low-key said that winning this derby will help the young guys of the team To increase confidence, he did not evaluate Arsenal''s performance.


    In the past, he always praised his opponent''s performance. Whether Millwall wins or loses, he is very decent, but if he is still praising Arsenal now, he is putting a false label on his head.


    Fans all over England know that Arsenal are no better at night.


    Moreover, it is Bruce Leoqi that the media should bomb.


    The derby lost to the newly promoted team, and it was a three-ball defeat. The most important thing is that Arsenal''s performance makes people see no hope of revival.


    None of this has anything to do with Aldridge. In the evening, he invited the Spice Girls to dine at the Leeds Hotel, a top hotel in London with nearly a hundred years of history.


    Everyone at the table had a great conversation, especially the **** hot girl Harriet was very curious about Aldridge, and many questions were chased after to get answers.


    Aldrich was full, he wiped his mouth with a napkin, shrugged: "No, you are wrong, completely wrong, at least in the Premier League, the head coach earns no more money than players, there may be one or two exceptions, such as Ferguson , But I think his salary is certainly not as good as Cantonado. I can save the club as a head coach. This is a fact, but Millwall is actually operating in debt and I owe 35 million. Sterling debt, at the same time, construction contractors are coming to our door every day to put pressure on us, because we still have a new stadium contract to be fulfilled, and the new stadium, I think the investment scale will exceed 60 million pounds, so don¡¯t look at Mill Wall is beautiful now, in fact, I have hundreds of millions of pounds in debt."


    The five hot girls were taken aback.


    They can''t imagine what a concept of 100 million pounds is.


    Haliver asked in a hurry: "The Hall family is said to have more than 300 million pounds of assets. Even if you are really facing debt collection, is it okay?"


    Aldrich¡¯s handsome face smiled and shook his head: ¡°Assuming the rumor is true, the Hall family will not have 300 million pounds of cash. When my debt problem reaches the critical point of the outbreak, if the Hall family is If I come to pay off the debt, then the assets will shrink significantly, because competitors in the business community know that we are eager to cash out. The original assets worth 10 million pounds may be sold down to 8 million pounds. And all this will not It happened because I am me, my brother is my brother, we are independent of each other."


    "Then what do you do? I mean you only have the club industry, so how do you make 100 million pounds? Are you planning to raise funds to go public? Other clubs are doing this, as if they have made a lot of money."


    The 1990s were a frenzy of club listings, and in the early twentieth century, the football bubble began to burst quickly.


    Aldrich still shook his head and said: "No, the football bubble is too big. In fact, all listed football club companies are junk stocks. That is just a trick to send the fans'' hard money into the pockets of club shareholders. This is not as good as the membership system implemented by Spanish clubs. At least members pay their dues to support the club. They are willing and only for football, but once the club is listed, the purpose is not simple. Millwall will make money and this season has already Starting to make money, we signed many sponsorship contracts, which is a good start."


    The hot girls looked at each other, thought they were sitting in front of a young handsome boy, but he did not expect him to be in debt.


    Melanie took Aldridge''s hand and said softly: "When I make money, I can invest in Millwall."


    Aldrich laughed: "But I don''t accept, Millwall is my own."


    "You know what I mean."


    "I know, so, I refuse."


    "Oh, you two don''t be numb here, Aldrich, many girls like you, even in the stadium just now, I saw a lot of girls holding signs that say love to you, what do you have? idea?"


    Halivell asked with a smirk.


    Aldrich started to meditate for a few seconds and said, "This is a prudent topic. I want to be an excellent head coach. Therefore, my private life cannot be the focus, especially if there is no negative news. This will produce very bad influences."


    Haliver smiled like a flower and continued to be unwilling: "The Sun" published in the middle of the week, there is a model showing his love to you. She said that she admires you very much. If you can make friends with you, it will be a piece Happiness, oh, her name is Katie Price and her stage name is Jordan."


    Aldridge frowned slightly. Jordan¡¯s name was ridiculous. Not only was the American basketball trapeze. In the future, there will also be a Jordan¡¯s reputation in the football world for a long time, the emperor Jordan, but unfortunately that is a fake wave.


    "Happiness? Indeed, if she makes friends with me, she will be happy, because I can bring her exposure, visibility, let her career leap forward, and maintain the high-gloss photogenic rate of open breasts. There will be many Many men look forward to showing off the lascivious side of women who are related to Aldridge. Fans who are hostile to me will untie their belts and fantasize about a shot on the Aldridge label women, sprinkling their liquids. In the **** picture of the third edition of The Sun, this is a disaster for me. My private life must be low-key, and I will only be a springboard for women¡¯s careers. When I can¡¯t be satisfied with them in public On the occasion, or if I let them close their mouths to the gossip tabloid, they will leave me and look for the next man who can make their career brilliant. You have to admit that football is the most concerned sport in Britain. The project is also a regular entertainment program for fans, so star players have become the prey of the third edition girl. I am a head coach. If one day my player, or my opponent¡¯s player, their new girlfriend , That is the woman who has been with me, what kind of scene would it be? Disaster! I will not lower myself to the vulgar state of being full of tabloid covers, it is a shame."


    Aldridge''s words are very explicit, but he is talking about reality. With more than 40 years of experience, he makes every decision carefully.


    He wouldn¡¯t look at a woman who undressed to please a man¡¯s eyeballs. Sometimes it¡¯s okay to have **** with her. Because that would bring hidden dangers to his reputation, family reputation, and his career.


    Emma seems to be hard to accept Aldridge¡¯s words, she said stiffly: ¡°Aldrich, this is your prejudice.¡±


    "Oh! Emma, ??don''t be naive, mature, you are almost 20 years old, this is a world of male robbers and female prostitutes, men are very fierce and women are also shameless, you don''t take your clothes off to take fruit photos as a career , Does not mean that others will not, Aldridge is right, if he is not the head coach of the club, if he is not the boss, if he is not the surname Hall, do you really think that Jordan will show his love publicly?"


    Haliver, the oldest of the babes group, clearly looked the most open, and said casually.


    Melanie smiled with her chin and watched the sisters chatting with Aldridge. She liked Aldridge''s sharp words. She wouldn''t be overwhelmed by **** like a little boy.


    When they were about to leave, Aldridge appeared a strange man next to him, dressed elegantly and politely, with a wonderful smile. Although he looked full of gray hair and was more than half a year old, he was energetic and could not see his old appearance. .


    "Sorry, excuse me, is this Mr. Hall?"


    Aldridge noticed that the three hot girls sitting opposite him all had wide-eyed eyes and looked at the stranger next to Aldridge with an incredible look.


    Aldrich turned his head curiously, looked at the person, looked around, he didn''t know.


    "Yes, I am Mr. Hall, but I am Aldridge Hall, I don¡¯t know if you admit the wrong person."


    Aldridge thinks that the other party should be looking for the elder brother Barnett Hall or the second brother Andrew Hall.


    The other person smiled and reached out to him, introducing himself: "George Armani, it seems that I didn''t admit the wrong person. Can I sit down? I hope I haven''t disturbed you and some beautiful ladies for dinner."


    Aldridge froze for a second, he still didn''t know each other, but from the expression of the hot girls and the name of the other party, he guessed the identity of the other party.


    The well-known Armani, the famous brand designer who was defined by the fashion industry as the "Armanian era" throughout the 1980s.

 Chapter 90： This is Anfield!

    It is not surprising that gentry names often flow in and out of the Leeds Hotel. It is no surprise that Aldridge can meet Italian Armani here.


    After getting Aldrich''s hand to reach out, Armani sat down in the empty seat next to him. The three hot girls opposite, Victoria, Haliver, and Emma bowed their heads together, and exclaimed in unison: "Armani! Oh, my god!"


    "Are you here to travel by ferry?"


    Aldridge looks as usual. In fact, in London, he can see many celebrities. If he wants, he will attend various events and banquets every day with his elder brother and brother. The social circle will penetrate into the entertainment circle, political circle, business circle and so on.


    "No, I''m here to prepare for the fall fashion show. I came here for dinner with a few models."


    Following Armani''s gaze, Aldridge saw a group of gorgeous young girls sitting at a table not far away, and some of them smiled and flicked their eyes at this side, I don''t know whether it was to please the boss or For Aldridge.


    Aldrich withdrew his eyes and nodded: "Understood, Mr. Armani, IMHO, what are you doing for me? Are you asking them to be a model?"


    Armani smiled: "I can''t afford them. Their one appearance fee is enough for a team''s annual budget. I''m here for you, Mr. Hall. I came to London and I opened different newspapers. , Seeing your appearance rate is very high, some people are born models, and I think you are such a person, standing on the side of the football field, holding his head high, not only does not have the frizz of young people, but confident and restrained, There is an indescribable charm that makes it impossible to obscure the eyes. Most of the time, men will want to imitate you, because this will make them more attractive to women."


    The babes are excited again, and they did not expect that big men like Armani also knew them.


    But Aldridge raised a small smile and opened the door straight away: "Mr. Armani, thank you for your compliments, but you did not answer my question."


    "How about the Armani men''s clothing?"


    "There is no time to shoot commercials, and I will wear a suit other than winter in a coat."


    "You don''t need to advertise. You wear Armani suits, you will be photographed every weekend, and you will wear Armani coats in winter. The same is true. Of course, if you want, we can give away casual clothes for free. In normal life, you can wear whatever you like. I think the British paparazzi will occasionally put you on the gossip headline."


    Aldridge smiled silently.


    The advertising endorsement fees of football stars will be higher and higher, thanks to the development of broadcast technology and the promotion of football culture. Unlike film stars, the shooting rate of sports stars is fixed. For example, football stars, almost every weekend Appears in front of the camera, whether it is poor or good, it will be the focus.


    And movie stars? TV series will not be played repeatedly, and the cycle of the movie is too long. Variety shows that need exposure are not necessarily liked by everyone. In the UK, football is the most popular entertainment program. Men, women and children have the widest audience.


    Aldrich turned around and pointed to the upper left corner of the suit he is wearing now, where there is Milwall¡¯s team logo. He said: "The last condition is that a tailored suit or coat for me must have a Mil. The club''s badge."


    Armani nodded after a moment of contemplation: "Yes, this will make your dress more alternative and attract more eyeballs."


    Millwall¡¯s team emblem represents a football club, not a clothing brand, and there is no commercial interest confrontation. Armani is not difficult to accept. On the contrary, a head coach in a suit must wear the club¡¯s brand to be more attractive. It¡¯s special, it¡¯s different.


    Aldridge took a pen out of his suit pocket, wrote a phone number on the napkin, and handed the napkin to Armani, saying: "Please talk to him about the endorsement fee, Andrew Hall, my brother."


    "Okay, bye."


    Armani took the napkin and got up and left.


    Just before his forefoot, Emma asked excitedly: "Aldrich, why are you not excited at all? That''s Armani, George Armani!"


    Aldridge took a drink from the glass and said lightly: "If I treat him with respect and respect, he will not speak to me. What he wants is my confidence and maturity. Furthermore, if I see you here When I go to Maradona, I might be excited. I can see him. I''m sorry. I have seen a few celebrities, and I have never had a cold for fashion."


    "You''re so boring!"


    "Thank you, I don''t like being a clown in the eyes of others."


    "You said I was a clown?"


    "No, I''m just over the age of star chasing."


    "You are younger than me!"


    "But my psychological age is more mature than you."


    "you!"


    Emma gritted her teeth, and Victoria joked: "Aldrich, if you continue to fight with her, your maturity will vanish."


    Aldridge nodded in agreement: "Yes, the words are entangled, and I am at the same level as her. Ladies, it''s not too late, I should go home and rest, let''s go, I will call you a car."


    Out of the Leeds Hotel, Aldridge said goodbye to them one by one. Before leaving, Melanie smiled at him: "I''m waiting for you in Liverpool."


    "Forget it, your whole family will be unhappy."


    "Hum, what''s the pride? Liverpool is not Arsenal. It will allow you to easily take away the victory, and is it in Anfield?"


    "Look and see."


    Five babes were sent away, and Aldridge drove home.


    The next day, Aldridge received a call from Andrew at home, and he had negotiated Armani''s affairs. He only accepted a one-year contract and an endorsement fee of 500,000 pounds. This was not low in this era. Aldridge After agreeing, two more days later, Armani sent a tailor to measure the height for Aldridge, and then went back to wait for their tailor-made clothing to come to the door.


    In the second round of the Premier League, in addition to the arsenal defeating the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium, the Reds Liverpool lost to Leeds United on the road, and the defending champion Blackburn lost to Xie Wednesday. These two games are also very noticeable, and Manchester United defeated West Ham United. The team was on the right track and Newcastle United led the standings with two consecutive victories.


    Because there will be a League Cup match next week and challenge the Greensby of the Premier League away, Aldridge is ready to substitute in the fourth round of the Premier League to challenge the defending champion Blackburn, so he plays the third round of the game against Anfield , He attaches great importance.


    From the middle of the week, I began to study tactical countermeasures. I repeated the video of Liverpool''s first two games this season and then formulated corresponding tactical strategies.


    Although they won the Champions League last season, these young men have nothing but honors. After tying Manchester United and defeating Arsenal, their training attitude is more serious, hoping to prove themselves on the big stage of the Premier League.


    After the weekend, Aldridge led his team to Merseyside.


    The port city has a unique charm, but Millwall has no time to appreciate it. They came to Anfield in a bus, then warmed up, returned to the locker room to prepare, and waited for the appearance. Aldridge never said anything.


    The Red Army Liverpool wore their traditional red jerseys. They were already waiting to play in the player channel. When the Millwall boys came out, Aldridge followed them, especially stopping before a sign facing the wall before going down the stairs. pace.


    He looked up at the sign, called Larson to him, and asked softly, "Henrick, what does it say?"


    Larsson looked at the sign bearing the Liverpool team logo, and the Liverpool players next to him all looked prideful, as if to say: Villager, don''t even know this?


    "This is Anfield!"


    Larson said flatly.


    Aldridge took his ear and mumbled, "What are you talking about?"


    "Boss, this is Anfield!"


    Larson repeated it loudly, all the teammates behind him raised their heads and scrambled to look at the brand.


    Aldridge said in a deep voice: "Yes, this is Anfield! Great stadium, great Bill Shankly''s legacy for the Red Army Liverpool. Here, Liverpool left four European Champions Cup trophy, they kept The title with the most titles in England¡¯s top league, okay, Henrik, what would it take to win victory from here?"


    Larson smiled and said aloud, "Wonderful!"


    The Millwall team laughed.


    "Wonderful, unbelievable, so, ninety minutes later, we will go home with this unbelievable feeling. This is Anfield, I love it, thanks to the stage built by Liverpool, Millwall, tell me , What should I do then?"


    "Chong! Chong! Chong! Millwall!"


    The team members shouted in unison, this is the slogan they have been used to in training.


    Aldridge twisted down the stairs and passed the group of dull Liverpool players. He also patted Jamie Redknapp on the shoulder and smiled: "Jamie, perform well today. If you see Go to your father and tell him to see today¡¯s game. Millwall will play like this when he plays West Ham. Let him shut up. Frank and Leo have forgotten West Ham."


    Jamie Redknapp was dumbfounded and had no idea what to say.


    His father, who is now West Ham United coach: Harry Redknapp, the outside world likes to call his old Redknapp, to distinguish Jamie the little Redknapp.


    When the Liverpool players saw the militant Millwall players, they couldn''t help but think of another team from London: Wimbledon.


    It was a mob, and Millwall was rumored to be a rogue.


    Damn London team!

 Chapter 91： Two major enemies of players

    "Through the wind, through the rain, your dream may be shattered, but moving forward with the hope in your heart, you will never walk alone, you will never walk alone..."


    Even though English football hooligans are notorious, it is undeniable that there are people around the world who imitate English fans because there are fans who use action to interpret loyalty. Even if the decline of English football is low, there are still teams with the team. Fans who live and die together.


    Anfield''s stands in all directions were red, and fans held Liverpool''s scarf high and sang the song "You Never Walk Alone".


    In Aldrich¡¯s previous life, he saw Liverpool¡¯s game on TV. The Chinese commentator said that the song¡¯s name was ¡°You will never be alone¡±. Although the meaning is similar, the mood seems to be far away. Never being alone means always being accompanied, not being alone on the road is more or less unsatisfactory. For this reason, he thinks that the narrator is of very poor standards.


    When he walked out of the player¡¯s tunnel, he did not walk to the visiting team¡¯s coach seat, but stood on the side of the court parallel to the center line, which should be the position of the fourth official, but he stood here first, with his hands on his hips and a serious face Looking around the stadium, it seems to want to imprint every fan who sings with a scarf in his eyes.


    "What about the camera? What the hell''s the camera? Aim him! He appears! Fuck, Rud. You don''t aim the camera at the Hall within ten seconds, you won''t be working tomorrow!"


    In the live broadcast studio, the director of Sky TV roared angrily. He could overlook Aldridge''s appearance in the box, but the camera had not followed.


    The narrators Andy Gray and Martin Taylor have not yet started to work, but the two look at the Audric pointed in the camera and understand his perspective from all angles.


    "Martin, what is he doing?"


    "I guess he is feeling the atmosphere here."


    "Maybe, this is not Old Trafford. This is Anfield. I hope he won''t be frightened again. There are no female fans who will kiss, only hostile fans like fighters."


    "I don''t see it. It is probably the first time he came here. This is a game worthy of his memory."


    "What do you think Millwall will do today? I mean, what kind of goals will they hold? Draw, or victory? It can''t be a three-pointer anyway."


    "Of course it is a victory. Aldrich needs a victory to motivate his players, otherwise how many boys on the team will listen to him? He is so young, he can only give victory, which will make the players die. Follow him!"


    ...


    The Melanie family was also in the stands. Like other fans, they sang with their scarfs held high. When the song ended, the applause rang and continued.


    Melanie''s younger brother pointed to Aldridge on the sidelines and laughed: "Sister, your boyfriend is scared!"


    Melanie pursed her lips and smiled, "Let him see the power of Liverpool. He must be scared and silly! Haha."


    There was a fanatical cry from the KOP stands, and on the opposite side, Millwall fans from afar also clapped and shouted Millwall¡¯s name, although this was not an energy equivalent. Contest, but there is still no one to stand down and the war in the stands will never stop.


    On the sidelines, Aldridge took a deep breath after surveying Anfield, closed his eyes for a few seconds, then opened it again, showing a smile.


    Anfield, I am finally here!


    Not here to tour as a fan, but to fight here as a coach!


    Great stadium, great stage, hotbed of great games!


    With respect to the sages, Aldridge slowly walked towards the visiting coach.


    In the past, when Wimbledon was a guest here, every player would spit on the "This is Anfield" brand in the Anfield channel to express contempt, Aldridge was very disgusted with such behavior.


    Although football can do whatever it takes, he has his own bottom line.


    He will inspire the players to fight in a fair and honest manner, to make the players understand that winning here is a glorious, rather than deceiving this field by deceiving themselves, that will only make the winning victory worthless.


    Moreover, the founder of that brand is a great figure in the history of the Red Army: Bill Shankly.


    Perhaps many neutral fans know this name because of the famous saying: football has nothing to do with life and death, football is higher than life and death.


    This is quite wrong. Bill Shankley never said this. The original words he said in an interview are: Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I am very disappointed with this attitude. Determining football is more important than life and death.


    In fact, combining context and interview questions, Shankly only expressed a positive attitude towards victory, rather than spreading it into a cold blood that ignores life after being misinterpreted.


    Bill Shankly created the soul of the Red Army. His philosophy of victory has a gentleman style. He will use various psychological battles. For example, when the visiting team comes to Anfield, he will personally wait in front of the bus and then welcome the opponent with a high profile. In order to put pressure on the other party, but his bottom line is also very clear, can not tolerate the dirty means on the court, so one of Shankley¡¯s most hated head coaches is the Inter Milan founder of the big international era. Leila.


    Shankly pioneered the Liverpool boot room tradition and created a master of the king, as he himself, simple, passionate, tough, happy, and more or less romantic feelings.


    During his past studies, Aldridge was full of respect for Shankly. He even thought that if he could go back to the sixties, he would be caught in a dilemma, whether he was overwhelmed by the Busby boy, or fell down. Under the charm of Hongshuai, it is impossible to like Manchester United and Liverpool at the same time if he is a British fan.


    The appearance of the players from both sides made Aldridge return to reality from contemplation. He looked at Liverpool''s players and showed a little envy in his eyes, because there are many talented people in this group of players.


    22-year-old Jack Redknapp was even more popular than Manchester United''s Scholes at this time, because at this time Little Redknapp had been selected for the England national team.


    23-year-old Steve McManaman, if it is not an injury, why should England regret that Giggs is a Welsh?


    20-year-old Robbie Fowler, Liverpool''s "God", the young and famous Liverpool Golden Boy squeezed Ian Rush on the bench.


    Although goalkeeper David James does not reach world-class standards, he can become an England goalkeeper in the future, at least his strength must be affirmed.


    What makes Adrich sigh is that there are also characters from Millwall''s youth training in Liverpool, left-back Neil Rudock, a fat-looking player who entered the Millwall youth team at the age of 15, At the age of 18, he was poached when he became famous. He returned to Millwall a few years ago and played for a short period of time. It is still in the same year.


    Aldridge quickly withdrew his gaze, and fortunately, lost his life, envying others will never end, he just regrets that as one of the traditional three giants in England, Liverpool is a rigid and stubborn model, even in East London. When West Ham United started to introduce modern sports medicine to ensure the health of players, Liverpool always remained skeptical and resistant to advanced medicine, which ruined their hopes?


    It''s just that these people on the field now, Jamie Redknapp, Robbie Fowler, Rob Jones, who retired at the age of 27, and so on. It''s not that the player has an injury and accuses the club of not taking care of the player, but later generations This generation of players have disclosed the poor level of Liverpool club team doctors. Even Redknapp was misdiagnosed, trained with broken feet for a long time, played, and then changed from a small injury that can be resolved by an operation into a comminuted fracture.


    Moreover, there is a fatal factor in Liverpool¡¯s failure to return to the top. The Red Army under Shankly is disciplined, as is Ferguson during this period. Lee Sharp fell from his own will and Ferguson couldn¡¯t save him, so he sold him. To avoid spoiling other players, but what about Liverpool? Their geniuses have a nickname: spicy brother. This nickname is derived from their private life off-site.


    There are two major enemies in a player''s career, one is injury and the other is depravity.


    Liverpool are both the same, so don¡¯t complain about why the team is always talented, but can¡¯t touch the top league champions.


    Therefore, Aldrich¡¯s team building philosophy is to avoid the obstruction of these two enemies. The advanced medical department, strict discipline within the team, and the three captains who live off the court are more disciplined, even if Materazzi is the fourth. Captain, the villain is on the court, and there is a good gentleman off the court.


    Players from both sides set off and are ready to kick off.


    "Audience friends, in the third round of the English Premier League, we will broadcast a live highlight of this round at Anfield for you. The Reds Liverpool play against the visiting Millwall. Maybe Millwall is not a team in our impression. Strong team, but Millwall, who played for the first time in the Premier League this season, has already shown a decent fighting ability. They first played a thrilling 5:5 with Manchester United on the road, and then easily defeated the Derby opponents at home in the last round. Arsenal showed great strength."


    "Before the season, many ball critics thought that Millwall was a relegation team and worried about Millwall''s time to adapt to the Premier League, but Aldridge''s team smashed all doubts in two games. Millwall It¡¯s a strong team, no doubt, but Liverpool is worrying. The first round was only a small win over the weak. Thanks on Wednesday, but the second round lost to Leeds United. Today at Anfield, they can win the crazy lion After 90 minutes of competition, I hope it will not be an unexpected ending."


    "Introduce the starting list of both sides, Millwall''s starting lineup is the same as the previous two games, no change... Liverpool''s starting lineup is the goalkeeper: David James, defenders: Rob Jones, Mark Wright, John ¡¤ Scalace, Neil Rudock, midfielders: Jason McCartil, John Barnes, Jamie Redknapp, Steve McManaman, striker: Robbie Fowler, Stan Colmore. Their 32-year-old veteran on the back line didn¡¯t know if they would become Millwall¡¯s main point, because the first scene against Manchester United, Bruce was attacked by Millwall. The mistakes have been repeated, and Collymore, who was dug from Nottingham Forest in the summer, did not quickly enter the state. He scored 24 goals in Nottingham Forest last season, but came to Liverpool, it seems that he and Fowler failed to shine a spark However, Millwall¡¯s striker made people look forward to even more. Larson, who scored four goals in two games, is undoubtedly the contender for the Premier League Golden Boots this season. Manchester United¡¯s ¡ê7 million failed to take him if this Larson was able to come up with dazzling figures this season. His value will rise. The topic is a bit far away. Well, Fowler of Liverpool has kicked off. Audiences, the game begins, let us enjoy the next red and blue war Right!"

 Chapter 92： The guy fell on the green field

    The most terrifying home atmosphere in the Premier League is Liverpool¡¯s Anfield. Arsenal¡¯s fans have always been ¡°quiet¡±. Manchester United has attracted more foreign fans with the commercial operation. With Barcelona¡¯s two goals in Maradona, the hot atmosphere at home overturns away, and the other stadiums are either not as good as the traditional giants because of the small stadium, or the fans¡¯ expectations are not as high as the giants. Missing some upright souls in adversity.


    After the opening, Liverpool''s offense played vividly in the endless cheers of Liverpool fans.


    The fighting ability of the Red Army at home created by Roy Evans cannot be underestimated. Although the first round of the league is only a small win, as the team gradually gets better, this team''s offensive firepower is not inferior to any team in the Premier League. .


    Aldridge was pacing on the sidelines, watching Liverpool''s smooth offensive frequently threaten Millwall''s gate. Redknapp Jr. had a kick to the goal and almost broke the goal, making the fans sigh hugely on the sidelines.


    He is not very worried. Liverpool and Manchester United have top offense configurations. However, Manchester United¡¯s midfield configuration this season is defensive, Keane Gabbart, and Liverpool are offensive, Redknapp Gaba. Ens.


    Faced with such offensive first-class offensive configuration, Aldridge has two options in the tactical layout, either as Arsenal, with a double midfielder to slow down the opponent''s offensive rhythm to stand on defense, or to play against the opponent.


    Away, usually choose the first conservative tactic, but Aldridge chose the latter.


    If it is conservative, in the hustle and bustle of Anfield, the players may be more nervous, because the coach''s approach is to tell them in disguise: Liverpool''s offense is strong!


    In Liverpool''s home battle, they will be more and more confident, and the balance will be longer and shorter. Perhaps the game will lose its suspense from the first second.


    In fact, the tactical layout of each game is a gambling. If you win, you will win the cleverness of a thousand miles. If you lose, you will be incompetent and stupid. In every game, Aldridge¡¯s heart is like a thin ice. He just wants the team to play his own style today. However, the contraction against Arsenal is only a more targeted strategy to improve the chances of winning. It does not mean that Millwall''s mixed Premier League is going to rely on defensive counterattack.


    Before the Premier League has entered the fast pace of the "highway", Millwall will be a pioneer of this style.


    Collimore kicked the goal and was blocked by Southgate. Makelele grabbed the ball in front of Little Redknapp and passed to the left. Neal took two steps after receiving the ball. The ball was passed to Nedved in the middle, and then he started to insert at high speed. Nedved first passed the ball to the foot of Schneider on the right, and he also started to insert at high speed.


    From left to right, Millwall controls the lateral transfer of the ball. Although it is not like the long ball of the English high ball, the ground pass is based on the position and accuracy. The success rate is naturally higher, which also makes the defensive player more. It is difficult to prevent.


    This wave of counterattacks, Millwall''s offensive players played extremely well. Schneider took the ball in two steps and passed it to Larson who retreated in front. Larson took the ball on his back and Scalace was ready behind him Posting it, Larson directly knocked the ball back to the inserted Nedved, then turned and ran towards the penalty area, taking Scaras away.


    Nedvide kicked the ball, and the ball came to Pire''s feet. Jones didn''t dare to carelessly lower his center of gravity to force Pire. Pire dexterously played a pull ball and kicked the ball. Looking back, Neal, who came up with assists, has reached the bottom line. After adjusting the pace, he made a cross and it was the point before the pass.


    Trezeguet has a better position under Wright''s defense. He leans on the opponent and looks like he has a higher chance of winning the header.


    However, Trezeguet''s body straightened, as if to take off, but eventually did not jump, but instead, Wright jumped high behind him to fly the ball.


    Trezeguet''s face was a bit ugly, but he lowered his head and began to trot outside the penalty area.


    No one saw that he gritted his teeth as if he was enduring something.


    Aldridge had high expectations for this attack, because Millwall''s coordination was smooth from beginning to end, and Trezeguet also occupied a favorable attack position by consciousness. If he was squeezed by Wright, or he It was acceptable to fail to take off or compete for the header, or if the header was off the top of the ball, but Trezeguet stood there and looked from a distance, he did nothing!


    Aldrich turned back and spread his hands to show a puzzled expression to the coaching staff.


    The coaches who were leaning over to watch the game on the court were all lost and sat back again. In the face of Aldridge''s doubts, they all shook their heads and said they didn''t understand.


    It can be said that Trezeguet can make such a wonderful dive in Old Trafford, and it makes no sense at Anfield!


    It is also because his newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger''s impulse, so that Aldridge has always ensured his main position.


    Millwall and Liverpool played against each other on the court. No one came to control the rhythm. The rhythm and smoothness of the game were comparable to the first game of Millwall and Manchester United.


    "Andy, this game can make the fans forget the passage of time and keep their eyes on the game. Liverpool and Millwall play offensive football, but Liverpool''s offensive method is still a little single, and 99% of Millwall''s offense is very exciting. , But by the time the last blow is repeated, it¡¯s almost a point.¡±


    "Yes, Liverpool''s side pass has a threat, or they will rely on the player''s personal ability to attract opportunities after defense, and Millwall, I found that Trezeguet is not in today''s state, and he has struggling for the header. Descent, and the action of making a ball for teammates is also reluctant. He looks like he is sick, very weak, and not running aggressively."


    Aldridge frowned deeper and deeper on the sidelines. What was Trezeguet doing?


    Kick like shit!


    Before the game, he did not notice any signs of illness, and his mental state was very good. What caused him to drop three blocks in a row?


    Just as Aldridge''s attention was still on Trezeguet, Liverpool played a classic side attack.


    McManaman made a forty-five pass from the wing, and the ball flew towards Millwall''s back goal post. It seemed like a pass. The goalkeeper Keller shot out. He jumped to hit the ball but made a mistake. He was surprised in Aldridge. In the middle, the ball fell to the back point, and Fowler appeared there, almost pushing the ball into the gate against the goal post. In order to avoid hitting the goal post, he actively twisted and fell outside the baseline.


    "The goal has been scored! Robbie Fowler, Liverpool Golden Boy and McManaman have completed a tacit cooperation. This is a typical British goal. The side pass, the striker ambushed in the penalty area and then broke the goal. Millwall¡¯s goalkeeper Keller made a mistake. He made a misjudgment on the ball¡¯s landing. His attack did not touch the ball. Instead, he opened the goal to welcome Fowler! Liverpool led the ball in Anfield!"


    The Red Army fans cheered thunderously and cheered Fowler''s goal.


    Aldridge closed his eyes helplessly on the sidelines.


    Did you make an appointment today to play me?


    The striker is out of order, the goalkeeper makes a mistake, and he''s engaged in yarn!


    Of course, maybe goalkeeper mistakes are a matter of ability, and Aldridge did not regard Keller as Millwall¡¯s future goalkeeper.


    Shaking his head, he had a plan in his heart. If Keller did not perform well this season, let German Bout replace Keller.


    The head coach must be able to convince every decision.


    He can¡¯t just pull Keller out of the main lineup because of a mistake. The safe way is to play fair. Keller does not perform well and Bout can play steadily. Then Bout, if Bout is also difficult to take the post, Audrey Qi can only find new goalkeepers.


    He was more worried about Trezeguet.


    The teammates also saw it on the field, and returned to the half kick after losing the ball. Larson saw Trezegue''s expression sweating and asked in a low voice: "Hey, are you okay?"


    Trezeguet shook his head silently and waited for the referee to blow the whistle before kicking off.


    Aldridge was going to talk to Trezeguet at midfield, because in the five minutes after the kick-off, Trezeguet''s performance has not improved.


    However, just about 40 minutes into the first half, Larsson passed the ball from behind and passed the ball to Trezeguet. As a result, he rushed forward and fell into the penalty area.


    Liverpool''s 32-year-old veteran Wright raised his hands to signal innocence. He did not touch Trezeguet.


    The referee stopped the game and had planned to walk to Trezeguet to show a yellow card to warn the opponent to fall, but he resisted and instead waved to the visiting coach.


    The meaning is obvious, the team doctor enters the field!


    Aldridge looked on the sideline with his hips, and vaguely guessed what was going on.


    Trezeguet yelled a few painfully with his right foot, and then he lay down on his back, covering his eyes with one hand, and lost his heart.


    He performed well at Millwall last season, and the team gave him a salary increase and renewal contract. It is the best choice for the main lineup. With the trust and importance of the head coach, Trezeguet spent a pleasant time at Millwall. year.


    In the summer, he was a bit smug and played dimly. Shan Zhen Haiwei squeezed into his stomach. After the new season, although he scored in the first game, he was replaced in less than 60 minutes. He knew his body The state can''t keep up with the high-intensity game rhythm.


    As a result, he worked harder in the gym and worked harder than all his teammates.


    But just yesterday, he accidentally sprained his foot, because he was afraid that he would lose his main position after telling Aldridge, so he concealed it, gritted his teeth and endured the pain in the game, but he could not run out of his best. Even his attention was attracted to the painful right foot.


    Just now Larsson¡¯s passing was so good, he just rushed over, easily left Wright behind, then shot with a foot, he could even the score for the team, but he wanted to make a contribution, at that moment, Forgetting his injured right foot, and then exerting too much force, he fell down!


    This time, it''s over, it''s all over!


    The young Trezeguet even covered her face and dared not see anyone, including teammates and team doctors.

 Chapter 93： Mad lion temperament

    England has an impersonal tradition in dealing with wounded soldiers. Players seem to become invisible when they are injured. From the head coach to the teammates, he almost disappears even if the head coach goes to communicate with the wounded. Direct dialogue will require a third person to present the story. This is a superstitious tradition, and many clubs are following it.


    Because football is a kind of men¡¯s sport in England, it is a symbol of passion and tenacity, just like the battlefield. The one who can¡¯t climb after falling is the loser. Separated, this tradition did not change until the Premier League''s international trend.


    Aldrich treats traditions rationally, and good traditions should be followed, such as the closedness of the locker room, but he obviously disappoints injured players and even suffers from psychological stress.


    Trezeguet was no longer able to move around. He was helped by two team doctors to the sidelines, Aldridge was already standing there, and Trezeguet, who had taken off his shoes, had a swollen ankle like a trotter in his right foot.


    "When was it hurt?"


    Aldridge asked softly.


    Trezeguet lowered his head and whispered in fear, "Yesterday."


    He was afraid that Aldridge would lose trust in him from now on.


    But Aldridge patted his shoulder and said lightly: "David, injury is not a problem, but you deliberately conceal the injury is a big problem, take care of the injury, the team will wait for you."


    Trezeguet, who had been suffering from severe pain and no tears, suddenly wet his eyes, he choked up his head and said: "Sorry, sorry."


    "You are not sorry for me, the body is yours, you have to learn to protect yourself, health is always the first."


    "Thank you, boss."


    Trezeguet was directly brought into the player channel by the two team doctors.


    When the team doctor entered the field, Aldridge let Solskjaer warm up, then Trezeguet retired from the injury, Aldridge was waiting for the opportunity to complete the substitutions.


    Solskjaer came to Aldridge. Aldrich looked at the game and asked softly, "Ole, do you know what to do after playing?"


    Solskjaer blurted out: "I know that the opponent''s Wright moves slowly, the Scalace area is not large, and there is a lot of space between the opponent''s two midfielders and the defender."


    Aldridge nodded. Solskjaer''s concentration on the bench is the best in the team. His reading ability in the game is far better than others.


    "After playing, you can frequently swap positions with Henrik. To put it bluntly, Liverpool''s defense line can''t prevent you both. You can take the ball and make some shaking breakthroughs."


    "I see, boss."


    Three minutes before the end of the first half, Millwall made a substitution and Solskjaer replaced Trezeguet who had retired from the game.


    Liverpool brought a one-ball lead into the locker room at halftime.


    Anfield fans were relieved a little, seeing Millwall''s fierce offensive in the first half, and thought how powerful the opponent really was, why not!


    Manchester United were scored five goals, it was Manchester United who became weaker. Arsenal, the team''s army was distracted. If they come to Anfield, they will play at least five or six...


    Millwall, the name is not true!


    Aldridge walked slower. In the player channel, Liverpool''s players had a proud look on their faces. Redknapp yelled to Aldridge: "Boy, what did you say before the opening? Now , Should you go home and find your dad? Oh, your dad is not a coach, you can only cry into his arms and cry, oh little Aldridge, what''s wrong with you? Why cry?"


    Redknapp Jr. obviously clearly held Aldridge''s provocation before the game. Now that Liverpool are leading, he will naturally sneer.


    "Grass mud horse! What do you say? Some kind of roll over!"


    Southgate, who had always been silent, was furious and screamed that he was going to rush over. The teammates behind were stunned for a while, and then rushed up, but was blocked by Aldridge. Anfield¡¯s passage was already narrow. He One person directly blocked everyone behind him.


    The Liverpool players also supported Redknapp Jr., and they stood together fiercely, seeming to be in a melee fight.


    Aldridge smiled on his face, and he said to Redknapp Jr. lightly, "Jamie, as long as your father coaches West Ham United, I and he will be enemies. You don¡¯t understand East London. I don¡¯t blame you for the war. I¡¯ll give you a piece of advice. Don¡¯t be complacent if the game is not over. Also, I feel sad for Liverpool. Millwall¡¯s victory over Arsenal won¡¯t make any difference, but you are happy now , You don¡¯t deserve the Red Army¡¯s jersey, the one standing behind me is a soldier who never bows his head, you, ha ha ha, dude."


    After that, Aldridge turned to the player and waved back to the locker room.


    The Liverpool players were angry and scolded at Aldridge.


    "Shout, scold, Playboy''s virtue, I see much more."


    boom.


    The door of the visiting team''s locker room closed tightly.


    There was no time to care about the atmosphere over Liverpool, and the boys in front of Aldridge sat down calmly.


    Aldridge didn¡¯t plan to write on the tactical board today. He just stood in front, arms around his chest, and asked lightly: ¡°How are you feeling? I mean, is there pressure in the game here?¡±


    The players looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.


    Perhaps it was Aldridge who had been standing on the sidelines. They could always see his figure. The stance of standing tall and fearless seemed to remind them of fearlessness.


    Aldridge shrugged: "Well, take a break and kick well in the second half."


    "Boss, don''t you talk about tactics?"


    Southgate asked, raising his head.


    He doesn''t want to lose. Almost every player wants to ask his question.


    It seems that they are accustomed to the adjustment of Aldridge in the midfield, which can help them play a more exciting game in the second half.


    Aldridge laughed: "Just like playing in the first half, we can win. In the first half, we created a lot more opportunities than them, but the luck is a bit worse. Since you want to listen, then I will say a word. ."


    The players stared at Aldridge intently.


    He sat down and said easily: "Actually, you should know that the stronger the team, the more obvious the home advantage, and the better the home record. The big reason is that the visiting team is frightened by the home atmosphere, also because of the strength and weakness. The gap is conservative and gave up to fight for the initiative. Do you know how many goals Manchester United lost at home last season?"


    Everyone shook their heads.


    Aldrich stretched out his right hand, compared four fingers, and smiled: "It''s counted with one hand. Manchester United lost only 4 goals in 21 league homes last season!"


    This stat made the players in the team breathe a sigh of relief. Only four of 21 home games were lost?


    Aldridge continued: "But did you know how many goals Manchester United lost on the road last season?"


    Everyone shook their heads.


    Aldridge looked at his hands and then his feet, and said helplessly: "Claude, lend me a hand."


    After all, he raised Makelele''s hand and raised his legs slightly, saying, "Twenty-four balls."


    4:24.


    This is the performance of Manchester United''s home and away defense last season.


    The players were a bit enlightened after listening.


    Aldridge laughed: "Understood, although Manchester United does have less home advantage, but it is impossible to cause the host-guest contrast to be so large because of this. The most important thing is determination. Many teams face Manchester United on the road. The game surrendered before the game started, and at home, for the sake of face, we have to fight and fight together. We all found that Manchester United is not invincible. Liverpool is also the same. , Almost 1:2, as long as we forget the pressure here and forget that the other party is Liverpool, only if they are ordinary opponents, playing our own football, showing our strength, what about Liverpool? We are at Old Trafford Germany can score five goals. Is it difficult to score at Anfield? And to be honest, Liverpool''s defense is worse than Manchester United. This point, Pavel should have a deep understanding."


    Nedved nodded naturally, Keenegabat''s midfield defense combination and Redknapp Gabanes, the defensive hardness is not a level.


    England once gave birth to tactical master Chapman. On the basis of its WM tactics, it extended the classic tactics of European and South American football powers, but England always stood still after achieving certain achievements. The forward tactics, the tasks of the two wingers are basically the same as today''s English wingers. They all take the ball to create opportunities on the wing, and then pass the ball to the center.


    After 442 became the mainstream of England, England''s tactics entered the "hibernation" again. The offensive players did not defend, and the defensive players did not attack.


    Aldridge built a technical and tactical team. Only from the first half of the performance, Aldridge has been full of confidence in the game, did not score in the first half, and Trezeguet, lost The ball is not catastrophic. The goal is to score a goal on the football field. It¡¯s just a blink of an eye. Millwall isn¡¯t attacking. He won¡¯t be panicked.


    Sometimes, when the wrong timing is changed, the consequence is to destroy the Great Wall.


    Clapping hands, Aldridge smiled at the players: "Come on, the enemies are not strong, we are stronger than them, it''s that simple, and after an hour, we go home with victory."


    All the players roared in unison.


    They sorted out their jerseys, and each followed the smiling Audridge outward.


    Aldridge was happy, the team''s temperament has been formed.

 Chapter 94： Expensive 3 points

    In the second half, the two teams changed sides and played again. Roy Evans was already sitting on the coach''s bench. His expression looked very relaxed. It seemed that he had stabilized the game.


    Aldridge still stood indifferently on the sidelines, and in the stands behind him, Anfield fans booed at him, thinking he was just a cool boy.


    Liverpool still play the traditional British tactics in the second half, there are not many highlights, the routine is clear at a glance, as long as Millwall does not make the mistakes of the first half, he will not give the opponent an opportunity.


    As soon as Millwall opened in the second half, he played a classic partial match.


    Makelele steals the ball from the foot of Redknapp Jr. and passes the ball to Nedved. Nedved starts with the ball and passes Barnes, who is over 30 years old, with a golden sword. Into the other half.


    Larsson was at the forefront of the strike line, and Solskjaer was waiting outside the penalty area.


    Liverpool began to shrink the restricted area, forming a dense defense.


    Nedvide and Solskjaer hit the wall outside the penalty area. After Nedvide received the ball, he directly hit the ball. Larsen received the ball from the back of the penalty area, not waiting for Scalace. Stretching and breaking, he lifted the ball diagonally behind him with his outer instep, Solskjaer diagonally inserted into the penalty area, broke the entire Liverpool line of defense, James abandoned the door and opened his arms to seal Solsk as much as possible. Asian shooting angle.


    However, the dexterous Solskjaer kicked the ball at the foot. After passing James, he came to the bottom line. The shooting angle was almost zero. He gently knocked the ball horizontally. Larson turned and rushed to the ball after making the ball. The goal, just in time, arrived and kicked the ball into the empty goal without any pressure.


    "What a dazzling goal! Millwall kicked a classic teamwork! The ball started from Nedved, passed Solskjaer, Nedved, Larsen, Solskjaer and finally back When Larsen shot the ball into the empty goal, Liverpool''s back line was like a stake, Millwall''s quick kick was a tacit understanding, they were like playing alone!"


    "Unbelievable! From Nedved before and after the penalty area, the ball passed 6 feet in 10 seconds, and they finally passed the ball into Liverpool''s gate! Martin, Millwall''s football philosophy is shocking, How did Aldrich Hall tune them to play football?"


    "We don¡¯t know how he teaches disciples, but we know that Aldridge¡¯s vision is amazing. When people are still talking about Larson and Trezeguet, the Norwegian guy on the field now , Solskjaer, seeing the way he played football, especially when he just passed the figure of James, he is simply a new Hiller. How many babies are there in Millwall!"


    Larson ran into the goal after scoring a goal and hugged the ball in his arms, celebrating with Solskjaer during the running back.


    Roy Evans rushed out and snarled at Liverpool''s back.


    Aldrich was fanning his hands in the backcourt, meaning the players would go back quickly.


    Our game has just begun.


    Contemporary football still has a strong personal heroism. Offensive players like to stick the ball, and the ball is not decisive enough quickly. They often like to turn the ball and try to get rid of or break through. This kind of play is not without a market. Therefore, on the English court, like Shearer, Cantona and other players with excellent foot skills are very popular. If Millwall¡¯s forwards are also doing the same, playing with some foot skills and creating opportunities through smart and skilled technology, it is not impossible, but the success rate will be greatly reduced. And it will slow down the offensive rhythm, and the foul scale of England is already slightly larger.


    It''s like Larson catching the ball with his back. If he doesn''t make a kick, Scalace will inevitably oppress him directly from behind. He has no chance to turn around. Even worse, he may encounter a tackle.


    Liverpool''s big pressure, the effect of several crosses was not good, Thuram began to suppress McManaman on the side, so that even if the other side kicked the cross, there would not be too much time to adjust, and the cross effect was also unsatisfactory.


    Left Lunell''s assists made McCarter forced to return to the defense under pressure, and he was embarrassed for a while.


    Liverpool''s offensive thunder was heavy and the rain was small, without threats. Millwall''s smooth offensive was often a killer. In the 69th minute of the game, Pire took the ball on the left side, and Neal immediately caught the bottom. Rob Jones subconsciously went to Neil, and Pire immediately dribble the ball inward.


    Wright pressed out to intercept Pires, Pires passed the ball to the right, Schneider on the other side also stopped the ball on the middle, looked at the restricted area, then rolled the ball diagonally, scalpel-like The pass ripped Liverpool''s defense.


    Wright threw back and looked back. In the area where he should have marked, Larson was rushing forward. The ball slipped across the small penalty area line in front of the goal. The speed was very fast, and it penetrated the entire defense line directly. Larsson shoveled the ball behind the goal. James moved laterally to save, but he was obviously slow. Larsen''s toe poke the ball.


    The **** ball rubbed the goal post and rolled into the goal.


    "Larson! Almighty Larson! Great Larson! In three games, he scored his sixth goal of the season, he is a super shooter! Millwall''s offense is eye-opening, Will this be the trend? In this attack, the left-back Neil plugs in an assist, the lay-down bottom attracts Jones'' attention, Millwall uses the pitch to disrupt the opponent''s defense, and Pire crosses to Shi Ned, Schneider made another oblique pass to pass the ball to the left front penalty area, Millwall used the width of the stadium, Liverpool defenders were moving to the left, but they were shocked to find that the ball returned to the right, they The whole line of defense was played by Millwall!"


    "Millwall gave us the illusion that Aldridge was a tactical master. Millwall played team football instead of individual football. Why was Millwall difficult to break in the first half? Because of Trey on the front line Zege is not in the state, maybe he is injured because of this, we can¡¯t be sure of this news, but Trezege¡¯s abnormal performance is obvious to all. After replacing Solskjaer, Millwall¡¯s attack immediately revived Vitality makes the entire puzzle complete, and their offense can be smooth from the beginning to the end."


    Larson rushed towards Schneider after scoring a goal, jumped directly on him, waved his fist, and showed a wild smile.


    Anfield fell silent, and only the away team fans from afar jumped up and down excitedly.


    Evans had a smirk, Aldridge sneered, raised his finger to his mouth, and gestured back and forth to the fans in the stands.


    Boo?


    Why don''t you boo? !


    Whether you are a **** KOP or not, shut your mouth to Lao Tzu!


    The fourth official immediately ran to Aldridge and seriously warned him to stop provoking the fans at home.


    And in the stands, immediately after the silence, a larger boo broke out, and the fans near the visiting team¡¯s coach seat glared at Aldridge, scolding, middle finger, and even throwing lighters, coins at him...


    Aldridge returned to the sidelines, but still turned to open his arms to the stands, showing an arrogant look!


    Laozi''s team is better than the Reds!


    Despite your scolding, I don¡¯t care!


    Aldrich did this intentionally.


    Millwall needs enemies!


    There is a saying that depends on the strength of a man, it depends on his opponent.


    At this stage, Millwall is going to be against the traditional three giants of England.


    Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, regardless of whether they despise Millwall, anyway, Audridge is confident, who dare to despise Millwall, I will trample you!


    In the stands, the Melanie''s family looked extremely unsightly, and the family of four didn''t expect it. Aldridge came to Anfield and dared to be so public.


    But there is no way, who will let Millwall lead now?


    On the football field, the score is a manifestation of strength.


    "Sister, invite him to dinner at home after the game."


    "never!"


    "You have to let him come and borrow your cell phone to use it. I find some brothers waiting for him at home!"


    Melanie rolled her eyes, too lazy to care about her angry brother.


    After repeated warnings from the fourth official, Aldridge finally came down honestly and went straight back to the coach seat to sit down.


    In this sitting, he seemed to stay in motion, holding his chin motionless, and angered Evans not far from the next door. The gray-haired coach roared loudly at the Liverpool players and made them attack.


    Liverpool''s 21 home games last season only lost three games, although one of them unexpectedly lost to the relegated Ipswich, but the league eventually ranked ahead of them, Manchester United, Blackburn, Nottingham Forest, Come to Anfield and lose all, Anfield cannot accept the consequences of losing to the newly promoted horse!


    But the more they attacked and turned around, Millwall''s counterattack became more vivid.


    Ten minutes later, Pires took a long shot from the outside of the penalty area to Solskjaer. The ball went straight into the upper right corner of the goal, and James could only watch the ball.


    At this time, Millwall led by two goals and victory was in sight.


    Aldridge made sure that the game was stable, but things that made him unhappy still happened.


    In the eighty-one minute of the game, when he was about to make a substitution, Southgate fell to the ground while fighting for a header with Collimore. His shoulder was dislocated and he was injured.


    Aldridge reluctantly replaced Dean Richards, then removed Schneider, replaced Vieira, and strengthened the defense.


    After changing to 433, Millwall''s defense was more stable, Solskjaer felt good in the winger position, but unfortunately the luck of the goal was worse, and a bottom line was shot after hitting a goal before the goal.


    When the whistle at the end of the game sounded, Anfield fell into silence, and the fans stood up silently and retreated.


    Aldridge''s face was calm and he couldn''t see happiness. He hurt two main players, and the 3 points he got was too expensive.


    Shaking hands with Evans without talking, Aldridge quickly walked into the player channel.

 Chapter 95： His last name

    The interview was very grand after the game. It wasn''t the usual mixed-area interview that hurried. Anfield presented a press conference posture.


    After Aldridge was present, the reporters immediately took photos of him, and the flash was uncomfortable.


    "It''s almost enough, gentlemen, I don''t want to miss the leaving bus, so if you have any questions, just do it as soon as possible."


    "Echo" is the mouthpiece media of Merseyside, not particularly inclined to Everton or Liverpool, and the two clubs have some new policies or news that will be disclosed first in "Echo" or test fan reactions , Or exclusive news.


    The reporter from this media was full of hostility towards Aldridge and asked directly: "Why are you doing that? Provoking Anfield fans! Your team won, yes, but you should show some demeanor, don''t you? ?"


    Aldrich made his debut without thinking: "The stadium is a bit noisy. Obviously Liverpool do not welcome me. I don''t mind, just like they went to London and nobody welcomed them. Okay, the next question."


    The "Echo" reporter was choked and wanted to continue asking questions. As a result, the peers did not give face, and they were happy to hear some headlines from Aldridge''s mouth. He did just that.


    Who makes people red now?


    Before the season, it was predicted that Millwall will usher in a difficult Premier League start. The first is the Devil schedule, but the five most difficult games have been played three times. Millwall has two wins and one draw. The traditional three giants in England, only Manchester United at home A difficult point was scored from Millwall.


    After the interview, Aldridge led the team back to London. That night, he was waiting for the team doctor''s diagnosis report at the club.


    He got a headache.


    Southgate''s injury is 5 to 7 weeks away from the field. Trezeguet''s sprained ankle requires at least 6 to 8 weeks of convalescence.


    The two main players were absent, he began to adjust the lineup, four days later in the League Cup, although the match is weak, but the cup is often a hotbed of hotspots. Who.


    Dean Richards replaced Southgate, and Solskjaer replaced Trezeguet, but his strength has definitely declined.


    After training ended on Monday afternoon, Aldridge returned to the apartment to take a shower, changed his neat suit and prepared to go to the banquet.


    At the beginning of the month, it was Harriet¡¯s birthday, but at that time, the hot girl group just debuted and attended some business events. She planned to make up for a birthday party tonight, because they were going to work hard to record the first album. So, finally relax.


    Aldridge was invited to go, and Melanie sat on the sofa downstairs in his house, specializing in cycling the single record of the hot girl group in the room. She listened to it with relish and a sense of accomplishment.


    Well-dressed Aldridge came downstairs, Melanie looked up and down, frowned, "Is this too formal?"


    Aldridge shrugged. "Otherwise? Should I wear hip-hop? No kidding. If I had the image taken, how would I work?"


    Melanie agreed with him after thinking about it.


    She took Aldridge''s arm and walked out, just opened the door, but saw Andrew standing outside the door ready to knock.


    "Hi."


    Andrew froze, then raised his hand to say hello.


    Aldrich questioned: "Is there something to do with me?"


    Andrew Yang raised the letter in his other hand and said, "It''s okay. I''m going home today. I have an international letter from you at home. I''ll send it to you. Is it your friend abroad?"


    Aldridge took the letter and glanced at the mailing address, his expression dignified.


    He walked back to the house and opened the letter. The more he looked, the more ugly his face was.


    "what happened?"


    Melanie was startled, Aldridge''s expression was almost like the end of the world.


    "Andrew, do me a favor. I want to go abroad. I will get my visa in the fastest time and go to Hungary."


    After Aldridge read the letter, his chest undulated, and Melanie and Andrew even saw tears in his eyes.


    He turned to Melanie and said, "I''m sorry, I can''t go to Halivel''s birthday party. I apologize to her for me."


    "Eh, what the **** happened?"


    Melanie was infected by Aldridge and was anxious.


    "No time to explain, I''m going to pack up."


    "Wait, I will go with you. Your current state makes me very worried. I will go with you."


    Aldridge glanced back at her and nodded a few seconds later.


    Andrew watched Aldridge run upstairs, spread his hands and expressed helplessness, he took out the phone and began to contact the city''s network.


    Aldridge and Melanie boarded British Airways that night, flying directly to Hungary''s capital, Budapest.


    Before leaving, Aldridge called Jenson and told the other party: If I can¡¯t come back before Wednesday, you direct the game for me.


    When the plane was almost out of the clouds, Melanie was sitting next to Aldridge and found that Aldridge''s right leg was shaking. She was obviously in a state of anxiety. She stretched her hand on his leg and said softly: "Now It¡¯s useless for you to be anxious. The plane has already taken off. We will soon arrive in Budapest. Can you tell me what happened?"


    Aldridge closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He pressed his right hand against the back of her hand. He said slightly: "Last summer, before I returned to London, I worked as a football coach, working for the Hungarian national team. There, I met a mentor who taught me the soul of football."


    ...


    Budapest has gradually become the world''s largest black market since the disintegration of Eastern Europe. It is full of unexplained black gold and stolen goods traded by criminals. The wealthy will always send Ma Zi to buy rare treasures that are impossible to buy on the market.


    Aldridge apparently did not come to travel and shop. After getting off the plane, he got on a taxi with Melanie and came to a hospital in the capital.


    After inquiring about the ward at the front desk, Aldridge hurried upstairs, and in the aisle outside the ward, he saw a plain-haired old lady with white hair.


    The old woman looked sad, looked up after hearing the footsteps, and found that it was Aldridge who stood up immediately and the two hugged.


    "Elizabeth, how is he?"


    Aldridge''s voice was trembling.


    "I don''t know, he suddenly fainted at home, Aldridge, thank you for coming, he will be very happy."


    At this time the nurse came out of the ward and said that the patient was awake.


    "Boy, go and see him, he will be pleasantly surprised to see you."


    Aldridge nodded, packed his emotions, and entered the ward.


    Melanie took the initiative to hold the old woman''s arm, and the two stood beside the ward door, looking at everything in the room.


    Aldridge put a smile on his face and walked into the ward to see the old man with hair on his bed lying there quietly. He opened his eyes and seemed to adapt to his surroundings.


    "Huh? Aldridge, why are you here? What happened to me?"


    He struggled to sit up, but Aldridge hurried over and pressed his hand against him gently, saying, "Hey, what do you want to do? Lie down, you are sick, take a good rest, you are no longer a lad. Don¡¯t be brave. Just like you told me, on the training ground, I have to listen to you. In the hospital, you have to listen to the doctor."


    The old man sighed and lay down. He asked curiously: "Aren''t you going back to England? Are you coaching the team now?"


    Aldridge sat down next to his bed and smiled, "Well, coaching, my team is Millwall."


    "Milwall? Never heard of it."


    "Of course not as good as Real Madrid, but maybe in the future."


    "Oh, you are really confident, but no team can surpass Real Madrid, no."


    "is it?"


    ...


    Melanie at the door whispered: "They have a good relationship."


    "Ferrenz treats Aldridge as his own child. In the past Aldridge would always be angry with him, and he would criticize him severely."


    "What''s wrong with him?"


    "The doctor said it was Alzheimer''s disease."


    Melanie didn''t understand, so she stopped asking.


    However, a weird scene appeared in the ward.


    It was just a blink of an eye. The old man in the bed looked out the window, turned his head again, and said to Aldridge sitting by the bed: "Audrich, why are you here?"


    Aldridge looked shocked and grinned with difficulty, "I''ll come to see you."


    "Has your dream come true? Has a hometown team invited you to coach? Those who do not invite you will regret it."


    "I have found a job and coached a small team."


    "What''s the name? I also know a lot of English teams."


    "Milwall."


    "Uh, never heard of it."


    ...


    Melanie by the door was dumbfounded. She looked at Elizabeth the old woman in a puzzled way, and the old woman smiled through the vicissitudes and said: "Alzheimer''s disease is Alzheimer''s disease."


    Melanie covered her mouth with one hand, looking at the repetitive picture in the ward, behind Aldridge¡¯s smile, the struggling pain was heart-breaking, her eyes full of tears, covering her mouth, afraid of crying. Come.


    Half an hour later, Aldridge was sitting in a chair outside the ward. He hung his head down, his hands on his thighs, and tears dripped indiscriminately on the floor.


    Just now, he had the same conversation three times with the old man in the ward.


    "Aldrich, you and Ferenc, are you dating?"


    The sad-looking Melanie clasped Aldridge''s hand. When he saw the man''s true temperament, he didn''t feel that he was fragile, but rather so real.


    Aldridge straightened and raised his head, choking with closed eyes: "His name is Ferenc and his last name is: Puskas!"

 Chapter 96： The purest football

    "Puskas?! The Puscas of Real Madrid?!"


    As a fan, Melanie naturally heard of Puskas¡¯ name. She never imagined that the demented old man lying on the hospital bed was the best star ever shining on the planet.


    Aldridge nodded lonely and began to tell his story with the old man.


    When Aldridge began to study in various parts of Europe, he was pious and humble, but after he had gone through thousands of sails, he inevitably made a mistake that many people would also have: pride and complacency!


    In 1993, Aldridge was full of tactics. He not only studied the tactics of various football countries, but also mastered the trend of football tactics in the future. He thought he had learned a lot, so he began to have a rush I can''t wait for the desire to try the knife.


    Hungarian football was once famous in the world, and the football tactical culture here was also talked about by the industry. Almost fifty years ago, Hungary, who joined the socialist camp after World War II, also began to engage in football in the "national system". At that time, it created a An extremely powerful team of gold.


    There are many golden generations in history, but there are not many teams that are truly called the golden team. Hungary is the representative team. Whenever the best team in history is selected, the Hungarian national team in the early 1950s, Will repeatedly make the list.


    At the time, football tactics here were the most advanced. A group of educated scholars drank coffee while studying tactics, studying football skills, formation positions, and strategic tactics.


    They are based on the WM formation of Arsenal tactical master Chapman. They may even have created a tactical system of frequent transpositions of the forwards and wingers with four backs, and this tactic was improved after being brought to Brazil by the Hungarian coach. Out of the later classic 424.


    At the same time that tactical research is maturing, the king¡¯s teacher built with national strength is gradually taking shape. Puskas is one of the most dazzling figures, known as "Major Major". He is really an official, and almost all of the Hungarian national team The players all have official backgrounds and are drawn from the army.


    In the cold war period that day divided into two, England, with its origins in modern football and boss, proudly invited Hungary to play a friendly game. At that time, Hungary was already a little famous, and the Olympics performed well, so this friendly game was Before the game, the noise was: the battle of the century.


    This was rendered as a pinnacle game, but England lost a 3:6 at home. England was not reconciled. After six months of hard work, he returned to Budapest and was bloodied by Hungary 7:1.


    This is the case for English football, with a few achievements, it starts to stand still and waits until the **** slap fan is in the face.


    And Hungary began to fight the world invincible opponents arrogant.


    Before the start of the 54 World Cup, the Hungarian national team maintained an undefeated record for four years.


    Not only is there the greatest hope at home, but even internationally, Hungary is considered a hot topic to win the championship.


    In the group stage, South Korea was slaughtered at 9:0 and West Germany was blood-washed at 8:3, but Puskas was shoveled in a game against West Germany.


    Play-offs against Brazil, defending champion Uruguay, both games are 4:2 wins, Hungary lived up to the finals.


    But no one expected that the opponent in the final turned out to be the West Germany who had encountered in the group stage.


    West Germany, Hungary, two teams that fit the background of the time, two countries and nations, all need a victory.


    And God gave a joke to Hungary, they had no defeat in four years, but they were determined to kill the thieves on the day of the final, unable to return to heaven!


    Puskas, who was shoveled by the Germans, was wounded in battle. The two-ball lead was staged like a predicted script. However, it was raining heavily. The Germans brought out magic anti-slip spikes. The Hungarians can only stay on the muddy grass. The Germans reversed magically after falling and missing the goal. Puskas'' equalized goal before the end was blown away by the English referee. The World Cup passed by so far.


    This is a miracle known to everyone in Bern, and even the Germans agree that this is a miracle. This miracle has brought excitement to German football and even the entire nation, and it still affects it.


    On the other side, Hungary, who lost in the final, became a national criminal. When the domestic political situation was turbulent and the Soviet tanks entered Budapest, the Hungarian national team was pushed to the trial seat. The goalkeeper may have been exiled because he lost three goals in the final.


    How familiar does this sound?


    Later, countless people ridiculed North Korea with such a bridge, but all of this was actually staged in Hungary in history.


    The Golden Team fell apart and Major Fei started wandering. He was labeled as a treason, but he joined Real Madrid at the age of 31 and achieved a legend.


    After Puskas retired, he coached many European teams, including leading the Greek team to the Champions League final. This achievement is very remarkable. In 1993, he took the national team¡¯s coach in Hungary and tried to revive Hungarian football. At that time, Aldridge came here.


    At that time, the country had just stabilized. It was only four years since the Marxism-Leninism was abandoned. Football was no longer glorious. Aldridge came up with forged documents that showed his age of twenty and applied for an assistant coach of the national team.


    When I first saw the coach of the national team, his head boss Puskas, Aldridge''s idea was simple: let the old man see my skills!


    In a teaching game, Aldridge directed a group of backup players against the main players, posing a very defensive counterattack formation of utilitarianism, using the popular chain defense in Italy plus British side counterattack tactics, easily With a 3-1 win the game.


    When Aldridge was complacent, Puskas was expressionless.


    "He¡¯s angry, I can feel it, but I stubbornly think I¡¯m right. I think he is old and not in line with the trend. He is the former king, but he does not belong to him in the future. However, he did not scold me, and It took me out of the national team training base and went to a small stadium in the city. There was a group of middle school students playing football. They were very excited to see Puskas because he was a hero. Puskas made me Going to play a game with middle school students, I asked him why, he didn¡¯t explain, just let me do it. I was thinking: this group of kids don¡¯t understand anything, playing with them? It¡¯s equivalent to playing the piano with cattle. However, when the sun goes down , I took off my soaked shirt and walked back to the grandstand seat. The old man who disregarded me and smiled and asked me a sentence, which made me completely convince him."


    "What did he ask?"


    "happy?"


    "what?"


    "He just asked me: Are you happy?"


    "What does it mean?"


    "The meaning is very simple, I am very happy, yes, I played with a group of children all afternoon, didn''t care about winning or losing, we scored and we laughed, we hugged together to celebrate, we were frustrated when we scored, and then we started fighting again The ball, I suddenly discovered that day, I seem to have been playing football for a long time, I haven¡¯t felt the fun of football in a long time, and this is the essence of football. The football tactics in my mind are just boring Numbers and lines have no meaning. Utilitarian football always has a simple purpose. Winning? If the person who plays is unhappy, what is the meaning of winning? But this will be the mainstream of football in the future, because football It is a tool for many people to make a living. Only victory can avoid unemployment. My view of Puskas is right. He is outdated, he can¡¯t keep up with the times, but he taught me thinking football, he let me Understand that failure is not terrible. The terrible thing is that when you cannot find happiness in football, and I am the head coach, I have an obligation to make my players feel happy."


    Speaking of which, Aldridge was sighing.


    He also planned a professional life a long time ago. He thought about his initial stage. It should be to build a fence and let the team play that kind of utilitarian football. In this way, he can quickly win the championship, but he was baptized by ideas in Hungary. , He does not want to suppress the talents of the players, nor do they want to let them feel dull in the game, let them lose the motivation to create, he must allow the players to feel the essence of the sport in the process of creating goals and creating victory .


    Puskas could not teach Aldridge anything tactically, but he was regarded as a mentor by Aldridge. He always needed an opportunity for qualitative change in the process of accumulating in his life. Epiphany, this is precious.


    Puskas used to be infinitely magnificent, the pride of the whole country, and was taken to the altar, but it also fell the worst!


    Perhaps it is this experience that will make him forget everything on the wandering road, pick up football, and enjoy the simplest and most beautiful fun.


    Aldridge feels that he is favored by God. He has a freshman and can meet the professional mentor who woke him up. In the six months of Hungary, he began to sort out the football knowledge he had learned in the past, and then sublimated. Create his personal football philosophy.


    Maybe he can''t do an open school, but he can at least take advantage of the strengths of hundreds of schools and make up for each other''s weaknesses.


    He couldn''t forget Puskas''s teachings in his mind, saying that the teachings could not be talked about.


    But now, his mentor has already begun to be attacked by diseases, and his life will enter a dark page.


    Aldridge and Melanie sat in a chair outside the ward and were sleepless all night.

 Chapter 97： Madman plus nerd

    The next day, Aldridge randomly found a doctor in the hospital, paid for the inpatient ward, and walked in with Melanie who slept on his shoulder at dawn and put her on the bed under the quilt, he He walked out of the hospital and lit a cigarette against the wall in the street outside.


    After a while, Melanie ran out of the hospital, saw Aldridge smoking outside, and her hurried pace slowed down. She walked in front of him and said softly, "I''ll buy breakfast."


    "No, let me do it, you have no language."


    He said Aldridge was going to the nearby restaurant, but he saw Puskas wife Elizabeth coming from a distance, holding the handbag tightly in his hand, very nervous.


    From her expression, Aldrich knew that she was on guard against thieves or robbers on the street. Budapest¡¯s law and order is notoriously chaotic. After all, dragons and snakes are mixed here. It is the largest black market trading center in Europe. Here.


    Aldridge greeted her, she was obviously relieved.


    "Elizabeth, there is money in the purse, right?"


    Aldridge asked without hesitation.


    Elizabeth nodded calmly.


    "You collect the money, Ferenc''s medical expenses, I''m all inclusive."


    Aldridge said firmly.


    There is no cure for Puskas'' disease, but someone has to be cared for 24 hours a day, and taking medicine only delays the development of the disease.


    Elizabeth shook her head firmly.


    Aldridge looked sad, and said in a deep voice: "Elizabeth, don''t refuse, really, your health is not good, if you treat me as your child, don''t refuse me, do you let me watch Are you suffering?"


    Elizabeth, who is suffering from diabetes, said embarrassedly: "Aldrich, you are a good boy, but we cannot accept your help."


    "Remember? Ferenc said that I am a stubborn person, so let me be stubborn once."


    Elizabeth looked at Aldridge, who was sleepless all night long, and sighed heavily, before insisting.


    She walked into the hospital to visit Puskas, and Aldridge took Melanie to a nearby restaurant for breakfast.


    Sitting in an ordinary restaurant, Melanie said curiously: "Puskas used to be a superstar."


    Aldrich knew her subtext and said lightly: "In that era, playing football can make you famous all over the world, but it can''t make you rich, and the money they make is not much different from the miners."


    Melanie suddenly realized, and then said: "If you tell this to the Real Madrid Club..."


    Suddenly, Aldridge said in disgust, "Don''t mention Real Madrid!"


    Realizing his gaffe, Aldridge closed his eyes and said lightly: "I''m sorry, I''m in a bad mood, not against you."


    Aldridge hated the Millwall club because he saw football hooligans beating hostile fans on the street. It was in the chaotic 1980s, and against Real Madrid, abandoning the relationship with Puskas He doesn''t have any emotional tendencies, he doesn''t like it.


    But because of Puskas, Aldridge was full of disgust at Real Madrid at this moment.


    Because he clearly remembered that, in the original history, ten years later, when Puskas, who was homeless due to medical treatment, wanted to sell his honorary medals, the matter was informed by the Real Madrid Club, and immediately came to condolences, and Hold a fair for Puskas.


    Star-studded galaxy battleships entered Budapest, where Real Madrid''s superstars earned their popularity and word of mouth, and then left happily.


    Under the guise of Puskas, the income from the tickets for the Isaiah is close to one hundred thousand dollars, but even in the hands of the Puskas family, there is not even one tenth!


    The following year, Puskas died without treatment.


    There is no doubt that Real Madrid is here to show, otherwise, why not leave even the medical expenses that Puskas needs most are confirmed?


    Spending tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in transfer fees every year to build a "Galaxy Battleship", but stingy gave the club the number one great contribution to the pitiful medical expenses.


    Real Madrid seems to have forgotten, who made them so noble!


    Before the 1950s, Real Madrid was born in the Golden Nest and was born with blood of nobility, but their record did not make them so noble, that is, in the 1950s, the European Champions Cup won five consecutive championships. , So that they can stand up in the chest like a giant standing in Europe, and in that most glorious five consecutive championship period, Puskas is an important contributor to the last two consecutive championships, and Puskas joined Real Madrid, Brought the Real Madrid League five consecutive championships, the league''s top scorer for four consecutive years, and is still the fourth scorer in Real Madrid''s history. Raul is trying to catch up. C Romau has not yet grown up. Three people: Di Stefano, Santillana, Sanchez.


    This year''s 95/96 season, Real Madrid fans should count their wrenches, this is their thirtieth year away from the Champions League!


    When the glorious ending came thirty years ago, Puskas was still on the team.


    Now Real Madrid can show off only the glory of that period.


    But that''s it, Puskas is just a piece of their global commercialization ten years later.


    And when they show off their history, they still put Puskas on their lips.


    Aldrich, who has lived for nearly 50 years, has already seen through the vicissitudes of the world. Football has never been perfect. Here is full of betrayal, indifference, hatred, and turning over his face faster than turning over books. Deal with it.


    Even now because of the appearance of Aldrich, he will not let history repeat itself, but he still has a fire in his heart, and it took a long time before he calmed down the flames.


    He wants Puskas to get the best treatment and his family to live more comfortably, which is far more meaningful than endless hatred.


    When he returned to the hospital after breakfast, Aldridge saw a thin man outside the ward. The man was twenty-five or sixty years old. The scholar''s swank head, and the glasses he wore made him even more dumbfounded.


    "Nagy!"


    Aldridge yelled softly outside the door.


    Najib Sandur turned his head and looked at Aldridge in surprise, then walked in front of him, reached out his hand, and said seriously: "I didn''t expect you to really come."


    That international letter was sent to Audridge by Najib. He is a member of the Hungarian national team coaching team. He has worked with Audridge for half a year and is the only friend of Audridge in Hungary except Puskas.


    Aldrich didn¡¯t hold Najib¡¯s outstretched hand, but gave him a hug and said angrily: ¡°You say that makes me sad, I am such a ruthless and unjust person in your eyes?¡±


    Najib sighed and said honestly: "No, because you are busy, I think, even if you come, it will be in mid-September."


    Aldridge suddenly realized that in mid-September it was FIFA competition day, and he had more free time.


    The two chatted on the corridor about the illness of Puskas, and then the topic turned to football.


    "It is hard to return. The foundation of the domestic youth training is to be rebuilt. Hungary has completely disappeared from the football map. The teacher''s generation is the last glory."


    Najib''s tone was very sad.


    With Hungary''s football growing, it is now impossible for the nationwide system to create a strong team as it did half a century ago. Moreover, the world is changing and football has become more scientific. It is not possible to quickly and powerfully draw a strong man from the army.


    Aldridge patted his shoulder and said softly: "You can''t change anything. Really, football is a bottom-up game. Without a good foundation, there is no good superstructure. Come back to London with me and say Truth be told, only you know my football concept best. We cooperate to create an unimaginable future."


    Najib looks like a nerd, but he seems to have inherited the genes of the Hungarian cafe football culture half a century ago. He is a tactical madman. He is able to study tactics all night with Aldridge tirelessly. It is a full theoretical study. Person, but his character is destined to make him unable to command an adult team, because he is bored, he can put the tactics on the head, but lacks the most important point of football: passion.


    "I will make a decision next month."


    Najib whispered.


    Aldridge figured it out a little after thinking about it.


    Najib is in Hungary with the last hope.


    At the end of the European Cup qualifiers in 1996, Hungary, Switzerland, Sweden, Iceland, and Turkey were in the same group, and Hungary was in a very bad situation. There was only theoretical promotion hope. If Turkey cannot win in the next game, then it will be announced. The hope of the European Cup is shattered.


    Aldridge nodded: "Okay, I will wait for your reply next month."


    If Najib can come to help him, Aldridge feels that this is even more powerful. Although Najib does not have the talent to command the adult team, he has some skills in training and implementing football concepts, teaching young players the patience and vision , Aldridge is ashamed, at least, he can¡¯t do his tirelessly to correct the bad habits of the players. In Aldridge¡¯s view, the player shows what he can show, he can play it out, and his vices can¡¯t be changed, he didn¡¯t. Time to correct each other one by one, the first team head coach is not a youth coach, not to teach players how to play, but to allow players who can play to kick the team''s football.


    After spending another day in Budapest, Aldridge paid for Puskas¡¯ medical expenses and then began to contact the best hospitals in the UK. He tried his best to get the old man the best medical care.


    When he returned to London on Wednesday, he rushed to the northeastern Lincolnshire town of Cleethorpes, where Millwall went to the Brendel Park stadium to challenge League Cup opponent Greensby.

 Chapter 98： True soul

    Cups or league matches that are held in the middle of the week will be held at night, because the fans have to work during the day.


    When Aldridge arrived at the Greensby Club, the sky was already dark, and the blaring noise in the gleaming Brendel Park stadium was trembling.


    Aldridge can feel the fanatical atmosphere outside the club.


    This is not a good sign!


    It can make the home team fans so enthusiastic, obviously the home team''s performance is good.


    Aldridge didn''t have a ticket, so naturally he couldn''t enter directly from the stadium entrance. He came to the club entrance and entangled with the guards for a long time.


    "I am the head coach of the Millwall Club. I''m late. Now, I''m going in!"


    "Sir, would you please show me your identification?"


    The doorman is a new young guy. It is estimated that he usually does not read the news and does not know Aldridge.


    "Hey, Jerry, let him in. He is indeed the head coach of Millwall, he was here last season."


    Some of the club staff recognized Aldridge, but the attitude was not very welcome. After all, in the last season, Millwall defeated Greensby in the away three goals.


    Aldridge was let go, and the staff member who spoke out to help said lightly: "Mr. Hall, I am afraid Millwall will not be happy to go back today."


    Aldridge was too lazy to take care of him. Because he had been there last season, he was somewhat impressed. He walked straight into the player channel and looked directly at the stadium scoreboard at the exit.


    2: 0.


    International practice, the home team is in front, the visiting team is in the back.


    Time shows the first half, 44:12, 44:13...


    what the hell?


    Millwall trailed by two goals?


    Aldridge looked at the players on the field and counted first. A total of 22 players. Greensby did not have 12 people. Millwall did not reduce his staff. Millwall except Solskjaer and Richards In addition, they are all the main players, so why are they falling behind?


    He looked over to the visiting coach. Jenson frowned with his arms standing on the sidelines. He didn''t look panic, but he looked helpless.


    After the whistle sound at the end of the first half, Aldridge disappeared.


    The players of the two teams came off, the players of Greensby seemed very happy, and the players of Millwall were downcast, as if losing their souls.


    They always feel that there is something wrong with today''s game and they feel that something is missing from the kick.


    When the players have entered the locker room, Jenson is at the end. Is he thinking about how to adjust the midfield, tactics? There is no problem with tactics. Millwall is the main attacker and Greensby defends against. During most of the first half, Millwall is suppressing his opponents. What happened? Did the team fall behind by two goals?


    He wanted to replicate Aldridge''s passion for inspiring players, but he used it before the game, and the effect was not good. The players looked at him indifferently, more like the audience watching the actors performing.


    While he was at a loss, he heard someone calling him.


    "Jenson, Jensen!"


    Jensen looked around and was surprised to see Aldridge beckoning at the corner of the corridor, looking sneaky, like a thief.


    Jensen walked quickly and said anxiously: "If you are here, hurry up and enter the dressing room. Now the situation is very bad!"


    Aldridge caught him in front of him. The two walked around the corner. Aldrich took out the smoke. The two lighted a branch. He spit out the smoke and asked softly, "Tell me about the first half."


    "We had the advantage in the first half. Greens beat the defensive counterattack. They first led through a corner kick. Then we got a penalty in the penalty area. Larson kicked the penalty kick on the goal post. After coming out, we have been suppressing our opponents, but the opponent has penetrated our defense through a defense. Many of the current Premier League teams are imitating us last season. When the two fast horses fought back, they passed a long pass to engage in individual combat."


    "That''s not to learn from us. This is just a trend. Our counterattack is to advance quickly as a whole, not by personal ability."


    "Oh, it''s about this time, so you don''t have to comment on anything. What do you do now? Two goals fell behind."


    Aldridge raised his wrist and looked at his watch. After a cigarette was smoked, he sorted out some messy suits, and then walked calmly towards the locker room.


    The atmosphere in the locker room was a little depressed. Everyone didn''t speak. After cleaning their jersey shoes, they sat in their positions with their eyes closed. No one seemed to care why Jensen didn''t come in the locker room.


    Today the captain on the field is Nedved. He rarely speaks in the locker room. He is more inspiring his teammates with actual actions on the field, but he is much quieter in speech transfer, which is why Aldridge Will give the position of the first captain to Southgate.


    The locker room door was pushed open, and the players were still pulling their heads.


    "Hey, I haven''t seen you in a long time. I have personal affairs to deal with in the past two days, so I''m not on the team. I apologize to everyone for this."


    When Aldridge spoke, the players all looked up at him, all with an unbelievable expression, staring straight at him, and his dim eyes gradually glowing.


    Aldrich ignored their expressions and continued with his arms: "I was in the stands in the first half. I watched the game. You did well, but I think maybe you are tired, after all four days ago We just played a game with Liverpool on the road, and we are going to challenge defending champion Blackburn on the weekend, so to speak, I will let you rest on the weekend, but it seems that you already want to end the game early, it doesn¡¯t matter, I can understand, This is just a League Cup. Don¡¯t worry about it. If you lose, you lose."


    The players stared at Aldridge staring blankly, confused by his words.


    The leader surrendered?


    And also persuade them?


    Aldridge shrugged: "I just went to the head referee, I want to make him easy, and let Millwall directly replace 11 people on the court in the second half. Of course, our backup team is not enough, it does not matter, plus the coach The group of people is enough. But the head referee disagrees, so I have to consider replacing three of you. Has anyone volunteered to apply for the second half?"


    The locker room was silent.


    The whole team of players became very nervous.


    Aldridge scratched his head helplessly, and walked away after the next sentence.


    "Okay, since no one of you volunteers to apply, let me decide. I need time to think about it. After I make a decision in the stands, Jenson will replace the three of you. Rest assured, this is not for Who, I am satisfied with your performance, but the opponent is Greensby, and you can¡¯t get excited, can¡¯t get excited, right?¡±


    Aldrich opened the locker door and went out.


    The players looked at each other and swallowed nervously. Everyone knew that Aldridge was already angry.


    Now Millwall, even if it is the main lineup, more than half of the players were unknown in the past, and Aldridge gave them the opportunity, gave them a high salary, so that they now enter the public vision in England, in their eyes, Aldrich Qi is definitely an important role at the tutor level.


    I don''t know when, his praise or criticism directly affected the player''s mood and mentality.


    It''s just that he wasn''t directing the game, and the players felt psychologically different on the court.


    Now Aldridge is back and appears, and the hearts of the players are completely solid.


    In the second half, after the players all played, Aldridge appeared at the exit of the player''s aisle. He leaned against the aisle wall and watched the game in a leisurely manner.


    The camera caught his appearance and immediately aimed at him, and the commentators began to tease Aldridge.


    What Odrich didn¡¯t expect was that there were fans among the Greensby stadium staff, and a fat young man approached him and said slightly excitedly: ¡°You are Mr. Hall, right? Can you give me A signature? You¡¯re amazing, you¡¯ve been the head coach before you¡¯re 20, and you¡¯re doing so well. I watched Millwall¡¯s games against Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool. It¡¯s just so exciting. The best game I have ever seen, Millwall..."


    As soon as he spoke, Aldridge patiently listened to him confess his admiration, and finally signed him, took a picture, and asked him to help pour a glass of water, from getting off the plane to In the few hours he rushed over, he didn''t drip water and his mouth was dry.


    As he was drinking water while holding the glass, the Brundle Park Stadium fell into a brief silence.


    Aldrich looked up and looked at the field. Solskjaer ran to the middle circle with the ball. He just broke the goal.


    "Hey, Millwall is awesome, and he scored."


    The staff member was still next to Aldridge. He saw Millwall scoring goals and seemed more excited than Aldridge.


    It is not difficult to understand that the people who work in the football club may not necessarily be fans of this club. Liverpool have more than two decades of loyal employees as Everton fans.


    In the second half, Millwall''s style of play remained unchanged. The tactics remained the same as in the first half, but obviously he played more dominant. Greens retired from the board, but the player''s personal ability was limited and he could not prevent Millwall''s madness. Fried.


    In the second half, only 20 minutes, Millwall equalized the score, Schneider kicked a free kick on the defensive player to change the line and hit the goal. Some luck, but luck is also part of the strength.


    Greensby, who almost returned to halftime defense, suffered a heavy blow in the 87th minute of the game.


    Stam scored a goal with a corner kick, Millwall reversed Greensby 3:2, no more, no less than a goal.


    Aldridge lied, he did not replace any one.


    After the game, Jenson thoughtfully looked at the exit of the player¡¯s passage and turned to the locker room. Aldridge smiled bitterly: you always say that the spirit of the team¡¯s fighting spirit is Nedved, but you are this one. The true soul of the team!

 Chapter 99： Fairy Sword

    Reversing Greensby in the middle of the week, the League Cup successfully passed, Audric once again apologized to the team on the training ground the next day. His sudden absence did indeed have a negative impact on the team. The head coach has a negative impact on the team. Needless to say about the importance of.


    Aldridge is not a person who will indulge in the past, so the review blames him for taking it seriously, but it will not take too long.


    Millwall''s tight schedule made them just return to London for two days, and then went to the northwest of England. The main feature of visiting defending champion Blackburn became the focus of this round of the game. The boos even exceeded Arsenal''s home battle against Nottingham Forest. .


    Blackburn is nominally a city, in fact it is more like a town, because the population here is just over 100,000. Following the thrilling win of the club¡¯s first Premier League title in the history of the club last season, Blackburn still retains the main frame lineup this season. There was no loss of staff, but their head coach was changed. The wily Daglish retired quickly, hung up in Blackburn to enjoy worship, and received an annual salary of up to 300,000 pounds. Then, Blackburn ushered in New coach: Ray Halford.


    The coach has been over 50 years old and played as a center defender in his career. The coaching experience of a coach has a great influence on his coaching career. For example, Kevin Keegan is an offensive player. Playing well, the defense is a mess, and Halford''s style is defensive, but this Black is not known for defense. The reason why they were able to win the Premier League last season, relying on offensive, the top offensive firepower in the Premier League , 3 goals more than Manchester United, but 11 goals more than Manchester United, of course, Manchester United''s number of goals is a lot of water, brushing the weak team against the sky data, such as 9 ball slaughter Ipswich.


    The coach doesn''t match the team''s style, so it''s no surprise that the team''s performance fluctuates.


    Black''s first three rounds of the Premier League this season, a small victory over the weaker to get a starter, and then suffered a two-game losing streak, the external comment is that Blackburn will focus on the Champions League, after all, they won a good sign, the group The opponents of the match are Moscow Sparta, Rosenborg and Warsaw Lega.


    But Aldridge as the head coach, he can see that Blackburn¡¯s problem is not the focus of the season at all, because they are extremely ¡°amazing¡± in the UEFA Champions League. In the same room, he was humiliated before the world.


    Before coming to this quiet and traditional town, Aldridge used a formal diplomatic tone at the press conference: "Blackburn is the defending champion, Millwall is the newly promoted horse, and being a guest at Ewood Park is a challenge for us. "


    Challenge?


    The media believe that Aldridge is a low-key way of idiomatic, but Aldridge is telling the truth.


    Because of this game, he rested the main lineup and made a rotation.


    It¡¯s risky to let the bench lineup directly face the pressure from the defending champion, but Aldrich feels he should try to let the bench players grow quickly and adapt to the pace of the Premier League, which will help Millwall¡¯s future overall Is more powerful.


    Halford had a hard time. The league lost two games in a row, especially the last game was lost to Manchester United at home, which caused him great pressure, so this game with Millwall can not be lost.


    The coach in the locker room painstakingly asked the players to build a fence, defend first, and then attack. The players must listen to the head coach more or less to avoid a reputation for rebellion.


    In the fourth round of the Premier League played at Ewood Park Stadium, Aldridge was on the sidelines as always, and Halford did not dare to neglect. He always directed the players to strengthen the defense on the sidelines.


    Aldridge has a 433 formation in this game. Gattuso, Vieira and Barak have three defensive hardness guarantees. The defender was suspended for five games because of Materazzi last season, plus the original red card. He will leave until mid-September to come back, so the guard is Richards partner Elgra, the full-backs sent Zambrotta and Mills, and the striker tridents are Glenshire, Phillips, and Sol. Scya.


    Blackburn was almost the main lineup last season.


    SAS striker combination, Hille Gaston.


    Sherwood, Batty, Wilcox and Ripley formed four midfielders.


    Le Saux, Hendry Coleman, Berg formed the back line, the goalkeeper is Flores.


    This lineup has nothing to say in terms of strength, except that it is a bit top-heavy, but if the transfer budget is given to Aldridge Blackburn, he will not buy these players. It is not his prophet who knows which players are good seedlings. On the contrary Blackburn introduces all capable players who can fight, and after a little polishing, they can achieve results.


    But such players are often already well-known, Aldridge can''t control it at all, because the players'' subjective will is too strong, plus they have no sense of belonging to the club, and the status is more like a mercenary.


    Aldrich''s team building idea is to let young players come to his team when they are unknown, even if the players leave, then the club has trained them to let them leave with pride and reputation, which is conducive to his management of the team, And the persuasion to retain players is stronger.


    Opposite this Blackburn, the main lineup, SAS combination needless to say, will be poached in two years, other players have joined Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester United and other teams afterwards, they are mercenaries, come here to earn With the money and the honor, when the team''s record is not good, it is logical to transfer and leave.


    This battle, which was expected by the outside world, did not hit Mars, but it was a bit dull.


    Three capable midfielders effectively blocked Blackburn''s positional offense, and El Gragar Richards'' center-back combination also performed well.


    Aldrich looked around the stadium stands, thoughtfully: maybe the atmosphere here is not as fanatical as Anfield or Old Trafford, and I don¡¯t feel much pressure.


    As a result, Millwall¡¯s young players have no fright against the defending champions. Elgra¡¯s first game in England is even more eye-catching. Sutton and Shearer each once wanted to make a breakthrough from him. Was successfully intercepted, even calmer and decisive when handling the ball.


    Millwall''s offense made Odridge speechless.


    Barak passed a ball to Phillips. Phillips took the ball and turned it over Sherwood, then shot a long distance in the first 30 yards of the penalty area!


    This long shot was of very high quality, but was still blocked by goalkeeper Flores.


    Aldridge turned back a little helplessly and sat down on the coach seat. He turned around and asked Jenson: "It''s been a year. Hasn''t his habit of playing football changed?"


    Jenson shrugged: "Don''t he just show it just now? However, he is very lucky."


    The two were talking about Kevin Phillips. Aldridge was not very satisfied with Phillips, but Phillips always scored in limited playing time. In terms of time efficiency, he even ranked in Solskjaer. front.


    But just now, before Phillips had a long shot, both the wings of Glenchar and Solskjaer ran out of good positions, and he chose to shoot himself.


    He is a demon knife!


    He is good at rushing to shoot long shots, cold arrows and other skills, and his shooting skills are very good.


    But it''s just a little out of gang, and can''t play with team football.


    Aldridge needs the striker to play a role, but he plays the same way as England''s traditional "one high and one fast" "fast" forward. He appears in the most threatening position and takes the final blow.


    He just managed to score. Aldrich asked him to talk about it a few times. He still played as many times as he knew.


    He is still a substitute. Aldrich can''t demand too much from him. The demon sword also has the benefits of the demon sword, which is not in line with the mainstream, but the power is infinite, but it can''t be used to support it.


    Rubbing his head in a headache, Aldridge didn''t know what choice he had to make when the monster knife asked him for the main position. The more goals he scored, the more he wanted to play the main role. This is obvious.


    But he is not the type of striker Millwall needs in the future.


    Substitutes are possible, the main force has no way.


    During the period when Aldridge was on a small trip, Blackburn hit a counterattack and completely relied on his personal ability to suppress Millwall. Shearer tricked young and still frizzy Gattuso with his foot skills and then was outside the penalty area. Also using a long shot to return the color, Bout threw the ball, but Sutton, who entered the penalty area, grabbed a shot in front of Richards and the ball will pop up.


    Blackburn led Millwall 1-0 at home.


    Seeing the ball lost, Aldridge stood up from the seat and shouted to the players to cheer them up. That kind of ball loss was not unacceptable, but it was a lesson, a lesson for goalkeepers and defenders, and needed They try to avoid making the same mistakes in the process of sharpening technology and raising awareness.


    A goal was scored in the first half, and Blackburn was a bit smug in the second half. They boldly attacked, and the gap in the back defense became larger and larger.


    In the seventy-three minutes of the second half, Vieira and Barak advanced forward and organized an effective counterattack. Glennall assisted Phillips to complete the goal.


    After equalizing the score, the scene was a bit out of control. Both teams wanted to win. The conservative first half of the opening was thrown out of the sky, and the battle was launched vigorously.


    The game was intense and exciting, but the goal never appeared again. In the end, the two teams shook hands and made peace.


    Aldridge¡¯s Millwall achieved two wins and two draws in the Devil schedule in the new season, and achieved excellent results. However, they were 4 points behind the top team in the Premier League rankings.


    To everyone''s surprise, Newcastle United led by Kevin Keegan won the first four rounds of the game and led the league.

 Chapter 100： Two fastest records

    After playing Liverpool, Greensby and Blackburn away, after three consecutive away games, Aldridge finally dragged his boat and returned to London after a tired body.


    The Spice Girls started recording their first album, Aldridge returned to single life. Originally as a top league club coach, there was not much private time. Even if the players were on vacation, the coach¡¯s time would be spent studying opponents. Therefore, Aldridge doesn''t feel lonely. He has a job every day and his life is full.


    Andrew has helped him to contact the best hospital in the UK, even the top-ranked hospital in Europe, Wellington Hospital, and the transfer procedure for Puskas is being processed. Aldridge also hopes that Elizabeth will accept it in the hospital Take care, no matter what, this couple, Aldridge hopes that they will be more comfortable in their later years.


    The fifth game of the Devil''s schedule is also the penultimate game of the FIFA game. There will be a game of the League Cup against the Wolves. Then, many players on the team will go to the national team.


    The opponent in the fifth round of the league is a team with a strange record. Nottingham Forest has more Champions League trophies than league championship trophies.


    Last season, Nottingham Forest won the league third. Head coach Frank Clark had a relationship with Audridge a few months ago. The two were the best coaches of the Premier League and the Premier League.


    This season, Nottingham Forest was poached by Liverpool''s best shooter in the team last season, Collymore. Collymore arranged for about 1/3 of the league''s league goals last season, and there were 24. Nottingham Forest was badly hurt. After the start of the season, he was tied by three London teams, West Ham United, Chelsea, Arsenal.


    As a guest at Lions Cave Stadium, Clark was very cautious, and said in a low-key manner that Nottingham Forest came to London, I am afraid that there will be a hard fight. Is Millwall strong? At least in the standings, Nottingham Forest is behind the opponent''s butt.


    The two undefeated teams in the first four games of the season met at the Lion''s Cave Stadium.


    Aldridge put out the main lineup, still playing 442, Clark''s Nottingham Forest is mainly defensive, and he seems determined to get the fourth consecutive draw on the London team.


    The game was not exciting, and the cheering of the Lion''s Cave Stadium never ceased. The fans haven''t experienced the team''s strength in such a long time. They haven''t experienced it before.


    The victory over Arsenal and Liverpool, the draw to draw Manchester United and the defending champion away, Millwall''s momentum is gratifying, Millwall fans are greatly exasperated.


    But the game made Aldridge feel a little helpless, Millwall''s strike line fell into the quagmire.


    Clark apparently studied the video of Millwall''s past games. His tactical formation is conservative and he specializes in strengthening the **** at the front of the penalty area. Solskjaer and Larson can''t play an effective cooperation. Even getting the ball becomes difficult.


    Aldridge paced on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets, his mind running fast.


    Nottingham Forest is full of ambitions, and the key points of the defense are in place. Nedved is close to the front to mark him, and a layered team assists the defense. The frontier of the penalty area compresses the space. The side defense is not frizzy, or even released The sideline allowed Millwall''s full-back to step forward to assist, lacking space to penetrate the ground. Only Larson was in the middle of the high-ball pass. It was difficult to compete for the ball in the middle of the bag, let alone the header.


    This is a tough battle. It is hard to imagine that Nottingham Forest, the third league player last season, will show such a low profile at the home of the newly promoted.


    At the end of the half, the score is 0:0.


    Aldrich called Shevchenko to the front of the player''s tunnel, his face green as if the scholar''s nuclear warhead stood in front of him and waited for the opportunity.


    "Go warm up."


    Aldrich simply gave instructions, and Shevchenko swallowed and swept immediately on the sidelines.


    Breaking through intensive defense is a worldwide problem, and it will continue to trouble football for a long time. In the 90 World Cup finals, Germany with stars shining against Argentina independently supported by Maradona, a total of more than thirty foot shots to a single shot dominated. It also only solved the battle by penalty kick.


    In sports warfare, it is nothing more than three means to break through intensive defense, personal ability, heroic way to solve the problem with sudden bursts, long-range threats to force opponents to pull out of the front line, and to create a positioning ball.


    As for the coordination of playing positions, there is no shooting space, no matter how beautiful the coordination is, the highest ball control rate is just useless data.


    In the midfield, Aldridge can only allow the team to try more long shots in the second half to see the effect and then make further adjustments.


    At least, if the game continues to be deadlocked, he must increase the intensity of the direct threatening goal in the penalty area.


    Nottingham Forest still played the tactic of contracting defense in the second half, and a few conscious big-footed clearances also directly hung into Millwall''s half, wanting to rely on the first two forwards for sneak attacks.


    Aldridge guarded Clark.


    He firmly believes that even if the bottom team swings the bus, there will be a silver lining to complete the unexpected fatal blow, so there are Richards, Stam and Makelele in the midfield and backcourt. If the other two forwards of the opponent With the ability to receive the ball and complete the two-on-three and finally break the goal, Aldridge also lost his persuasion.


    But if you want to stop the ball and turn around before the top defensive awareness and stealing technology Makelele is already a big problem, not to mention the ball from the backcourt has a long flight time in the air, which is enough for Milwaukee. Deer''s defensive players are poised to wait.


    In the sixty minutes of the game, Solskjaer performed mediocrely both in the penalty area and in the area outside the penalty area. He was still not very suitable for such intensive defense. There was no room for him to play, especially he was a starter and was attacked by the opponent as soon as he came up. After the players stared to death, and the running positions were gradually familiar with the opponent players, they couldn''t even feel it.


    Aldrich is ready to make a substitution and replace Solskjaer with a strong center.


    But before the substitution, he called Shevchenko to the front and watched him jump in motion, Aldrich signaled him to calm down, don''t be too excited, and then he hugged Shevchenko''s shoulder on the sidelines Squatted down.


    "Andre, do you trust me?"


    Aldridge asked him softly, staring at his eyes, because the other party had only been in the UK for a few months, so Aldridge spoke in the simplest English, and the speed was not fast.


    With the experience of the past few games, Shevchenko, who is a bystander, has a deep understanding of Aldridge. He nodded without hesitation: "Trust!"


    He confirmed that he would have a future under the young master.


    "Are you nervous?"


    Shevchenko looked back at the crowded Lion''s Cave Stadium. In this small and enthusiastic stadium, he wanted to greet his debut, saying that not being nervous was fake, but he was embarrassed to say it and had to be silent.


    Aldridge chuckled and pointed to the opposite team and asked, "Do you know what team it is?"


    Shevchenko replied oddly, "Nottingham Forest."


    "Do you know the history of Nottingham Forest?"


    "Yes, European champion, twice!"


    "You may only encounter such a Champions League opponent in the European War in Ukraine when you are lucky, do you regret coming to England?"


    "No! I am very excited. Manchester United, Liverpool, and Nottingham Forest. They have all won the highest honors in Europe. Such opponents are too exciting for me!"


    Aldridge looked at the excitement of his true feelings, nodded, then reached out and grabbed a handful of grass on the turf. A mud was mixed with grass in the palm. Aldrich raised his hand in front of Shevchenko and said :"Smell it."


    Shevchenko bowed his head and sniffed.


    "What is the taste?"


    "Good smell."


    Probably he could not describe the wet fragrance of the soil and grass, so he used a good smell.


    Aldrich smelled it himself, and the natural smell made people relax.


    Aldrich shook off the dirt in his hands and clapped, "You have only one of the simplest tasks on the court, top the team, and then wait for the ball to fly near you, if the ball comes from the sky, you use the head Push me into the opponent''s goal. If the ball rolls from the turf, whatever method you use to send me the ball into the opponent''s gate. Do you understand?"


    Shevchenko touched his nose, as if still smelling the smell he had just heard. After listening to Aldrich''s instructions, he nodded.


    Aldridge stood up with his arms around his shoulders, smiled and reached over his shoulders and asked, "Are you still nervous?"


    Shevchenko said with a smile: "Boss, you have talked with me for so long, I have forgotten everything and my body is cold."


    "It''s okay, don''t forget to score."


    Aldridge walked back to the coach''s seat after speaking and signaled that the fourth official could be replaced.


    After waiting for the next dead ball to appear, Solskjaer was replaced, and he seemed a bit lost. Aldrich stepped forward to comfort him, saying: "Ole, today¡¯s game is not for you to play, don¡¯t worry, no A striker who can score every game, but a good striker is always full of goals for the next game."


    Solskjaer said with a smile: "Boss, I am not a child, you don''t have to comfort me like this."


    Aldrich replied: "Well, then you go back and sit down, and then concentrate on watching the game."


    With a smile on her face, she sat back, put on the coat handed by the coach, and watched the game with peace of mind. This had become his habit. Whether he was on the court or not, he would watch the game while observing Aldridge. Want to interpret the game from Aldridge''s perspective.


    "Millwall replaced a new player introduced in the summer. His name is, er, Andre Shevchenko, Dynamo Kiev from Ukraine. The strange thing is that Aldridge did not change to Phillips. , The striker who also has the reputation of being a super bench. The Ukrainian guy doesn¡¯t look like anything, he¡¯s not particularly strong, he¡¯s not particularly tall, he is...oh my God, GOOOOOOOAL!"


    While the narrator was still observing Shevchenko, she went straight to the penalty area after playing and immediately ushered in her first goal.


    He watched his teammates run into position and then reached the penalty area. Schneider made a cross. In the envelope of the Nottingham Forest defender, Larson nodded his head and rubbed the ball in front of the ball. Go, Shevchenko was right there, he subconsciously used his head to top the ball.


    But his angle was a bit problematic. The ball flew into the back of the goal, but he couldn''t stop the car with his head and directly hit the back post.


    boom!


    Bleeding on the spot.


    The members of Nottingham Forest were very frustrated, staring at Shevchenko lying on the ground with his bleeding head covered.


    Where did this kid come from?


    Clark had done all the research and thoroughly studied the characteristics of each Millwall player, but it was unexpected that Audridge did not play cards according to common sense. Without Trezeguet, he was replaced by a Ukrainian nuclear warhead.


    The nuclear warhead exploded.


    The other side''s bus was blown up, and he also broke his head.


    The Millwall players were too late to celebrate and all rushed to Shevchenko.


    The team doctor also quickly entered the field.


    Shevchenko, who was lying on the ground with his head in his head, only felt a spin, he looked at his teammates and asked in jerky English: "I scored?


    Nedved squatted down and pressed on his chest, said with a deep voice: "Congratulations, the first time the virgin show touched the ball and scored a goal, this is probably a record. Andrea, good, but, you Still lying down, the team doctor will be here soon."


    Shevchenko glanced at his palm, which was stained with blood, and he was frustrated after two seconds: "I''m afraid I still have the fastest injury record."


    Aldrich akimbo on the sidelines, he has already let Vieira warm up, the goal is effective, Nottingham Forest will be madly attacked, he now has to strengthen the central defense, and also let Nedved have more in the frontcourt Play space.


    But looking at Shevchenko, who was lifted off the stretcher, Aldridge walked over and gave him a thumbs up. Then he applauded like all the fans.


    But he muttered in his mouth: "Falling is bad!"

 Chapter 101： Are all old opponents

    Fans in the stands couldn''t laugh or cry. A few seconds ago, many of them were skeptical of Shevchenko''s appearance. They even hoped that substitute Phillips would play and perform a magical goal performance, but Shevchenko played less than one. The stalemate was broken in minutes, and the fans just shoved their arms and yelled, but saw Shevchenko hit the goal post and fell on the grass, and then was stretched down by the stretcher.


    What happened to Millwall?


    There seems to be a layer of first show spells on their players.


    The scene where Vieira took the red card as soon as she debuted last season is still vivid. This season''s new striker has been injured and left the field for a minute.


    Of course, this is just a sudden incident that deepens the impression. The summer''s signing of the center defender Elgra in the season''s first show is doing well.


    Anyway, this guy has at least a more amazing show.


    Fans applauded and prayed for him, I hope his injury will not be too serious.


    Millwall succeeded in breaking the ice. Aldridge immediately replaced Shevchenko, who was injured and left, with Vieira. There are more than 20 minutes left in the game. Nottingham Forest is now behind and will naturally attack.


    Clark was very reluctant. He lost a general in the summer. Collymore was taken away by Liverpool, which caused great trouble to his platoon formation. In fact, he felt that he could take away a point at the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium. An acceptable result.


    Now that the team is behind, he doesn¡¯t dare to let the team make a big push. Liverpool¡¯s creativity in the midfield is obvious to all, but the defensive strength is not particularly strong. After pressing up, Millwall reached the back line and reached the sieve. Going up, there is no guarantee that the ball will not continue to drop.


    But it''s true that it''s a fight.


    Nottingham Forest began to invest troops in the frontcourt, they also played ground pass and cut cooperation, so Aldridge will send Vieira to strengthen the midfield and vertical interception.


    The game became stalemate, the two teams competed for you in the midfield, and no one organized an effective offensive. Until the last five minutes of the game, Clark will make a final stroke. He waved his hand and let the players in the midfield and backcourt also start. Pressing forward, it is a success or failure to throw out.


    Aldridge saw the situation change on the sidelines and was not surprised.


    Millwall¡¯s football style needs space to play. The whole team is like a spring. The more pressure the opponent gives, they can shrink back. Once the ball is transferred to Millwall, the power of the spring will also explode. Even bigger.


    This is also the game rhythm of many strong teams in the future. The weakest opponent will always be the first ball. Once the first goal appears, the weak team can¡¯t keep it down and the strong team will score. One after another, but if the strong team is attacked first, then the defense of the weak team will be more firm, and the game will be unpredictable.


    Nottingham Forest''s one offensive was destroyed by Stam on the restricted area line and launched a counterattack on the spot.


    From the second half, Nedvide in the front waist position, Pires and Schneider on both sides, plus the forward arrow Larson, the four began to run forward in a layered manner. After Vieira took the ball and Thuram made a two-by-one quick forward and rolled the ball diagonally near the middle circle. The ball passed accurately to Pire.


    Pires didn''t stop the ball, but crossed the middle of the ball. Nedved was in front of the back line of Nottingham Forest''s hurried retreat. Looking up, it was all loopholes. He calmly put the ball into the penalty area, Lar Mori succeeded in offside and went to the meeting with a single pole. The goalkeeper attacked. Larson dexterously swayed the angled arch forward and rolled the ball against the turf into the gate.


    "Larsen scored his seventh league goal of the season. The shooter showed the qualities of a top scorer. His calmness in handling the ball is amazing, the perfect killer! Nottingham Forest has no hope, the game Immediately into injury time, they fell behind by two goals and Aldridge''s team has unshakable dominance at home!"


    After scoring, Larsson turned around and hugged his teammates, and Audridge convinced him to stay. Part of the factor was the reliance and cultivation of Audridge on him. The other part was that he played in Millwall as above. Yun Xiao is very happy. Behind these teammates, Schneider, Nedved, Pire, and Trezeguet, who plays with his striker, Larson feels that with these teammates, not only can his shooter''s power be fully exerted, Moreover, as a team, they play football very easily. People don''t need too much verbal communication. The tacit understanding on the court is simply heart-warming.


    Clark''s determination and courage to fight back against the water disappeared without a trace after this goal. He waited for the game to end. There is nothing to say. The game lost no complaints.


    The stoppage time was quickly exhausted and the game ended. The fans at Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium were used to standing up and applauding the team after the game.


    Last season, Millwall played 23 home games in the Premier League with 20 wins and 3 draws. This horrible momentum allowed fans to enjoy the home game as much as possible, so they developed a habit of accepting players'' thanks and cheering. Give applause to the team.


    Last season, the best coach of the Premier League and the best coach of the Premier League, Aldridge and Clark, the two came together to shake hands after the game, a few words of greeting.


    Clark consulted the transfer possibilities of several young men in the Millwall formation. The main player Millwall would definitely not sell. Even if they did, Nottingham Forest would not be able to afford the big price.


    Clark asked about Vieira and Phillips on the bench.


    Aldridge smiled and regretted that all Millwall players were not for sale.


    There is no strong team that does not need a substitute. To become a strong team, the thickness of the bench is one of the key factors. Sometimes fans marvel at the luxury bench bench lineup of the top team, which explains the top team from the side. Why is it possible to be successful again and again.


    Walking back to the locker room, Aldridge praised the boys for their performance today. Then he went to the medical department and asked Shevchenko about it.


    Although the Ukrainian nuclear warhead looked scary, it was actually just a trauma. Before he was sent to the examination, he was conscious. Although the examination results have not come out, the doctors of the medical department said that there should be no harm. The head is sewn. Needle, rest for ten days and a half months to recover.


    Aldridge was finally happy now.


    He returned to the office, took out a poster with the trophy printed on it, and then walked into the dressing room, and posted the poster on the wall of the dressing room.


    After washing, the players who changed clothes naturally found the posters on the wall, and everyone smiled.


    The trophy above is the trophy of the English League Cup.


    Next, they are going to play in the League Cup.


    Fortunately, playing the Wolves at home, is also an old opponent, met last year in the Premier League.


    Returning home from get off work, when Aldridge walked out of the club, someone stopped him behind him.


    "Hey, boss."


    Aldridge looked back and was the club CEO Adam.


    "Problems?"


    "During the game, Andrew came over and he told me to tell you that Mr. Puskas'' transfer procedure was done and he will be transferred from Budapest to London next Tuesday."


    Andrew used to hang his job at Millwall, and he had long known that Adam had a silent phone during the game, and he did not take it out. So Andrew had to let Adam be a microphone.


    "Oh, I see."


    "Boss, forgive me, is that really Puskas? I mean, that Puskas!"


    Aldridge probably guessed what the other party was going to say, frowning: "Adam, that is Puskas."


    Adam looked happy and whispered: "Boss, if we can openly have a relationship with Mr. Puskas, take a few photos as..."


    "Stop! Adam, do you have someone who is respectful?"


    Adam froze, and then replied: "Yes, Professor Smith of the Business School is my most respected person, and I will never forget his teachings."


    "Okay, imagine that Professor Smith is seriously ill and whether you will use him to make money. If your answer is: Yes, then please put the resignation letter on my desk. Goodbye."


    Aldrich turned away, Adam raised his eyebrows and shrugged his shoulders, then smiled self-deprecatingly.


    Four days later, Millwall played against the Wolves at home. Aldridge sent all the main forces he could send. The Wolves obviously still have to work hard to upgrade the Premier League, so they don¡¯t value the cup. Millwall easily won at home. The Wolves advanced to the next round.


    Before FIFA match day came, the sixth round of the Premier League started, Millwall continued to sit at home and ushered in a familiar opponent: Middlesbrough.


    Brian Robson led Middlesbrough this season, the team''s style of play is very pragmatic, as a guest draw to Arsenal, Bolton, home victory over Chelsea and Coventry, only to lose to the new season of Newcastle United.


    The same as the newly promoted, but the strength is not what it used to be.


    Brian Robson¡¯s platoon formation is more conservative and thorough than Nottingham Forest. Last season, their formation looked like 532. This guest faced Millwall and directly placed a 541 formation, except leaving a forward in front. In addition to the harassment, all other players returned to the defense area and built two dense defense lines.


    The Lions made a 27-foot shot in the ninety minutes of the game, but the goal was only six feet. Middlesbrough did not hit a shot. The ball control rate was less than 30%. The final two teams 0:0 handshake and peace.


    After the game, Aldridge faced Robson and could only shake hands with each other with a wry smile.


    He has no resentment in his heart, and the opponent does not use means beyond the rules. This is the case with football. If you are strong, you will definitely win, especially when the opponent does not want to win or lose.


    FIFA International Competition Day is coming, Aldridge is facing a team that lacks a lot of main forces. He still trains on weekdays, and occasionally plays two teaching games with the youth team. On the day of International Competition Day, he gave the team a holiday, he then Stay at home and watch Hungary''s away game against Turkey.


    There was no suspense in the game. Turkey defeated Hungary 2-0 and completely broke Hungary''s hopes of qualifying for the European Cup.

 Chapter 102： East London Derby struck

    Aldridge kindly greeted Najib who was directly transferred from Turkey to London in London. He is a bachelor with a two-sleeved breeze, but obviously his seemingly wooden head is full of football wisdom.


    Najib entered the Millwall club as a youth training supervisor and head coach of the youth team. He quickly entered a state and had a general understanding of Millwall''s youth team.


    When the players reported back to the club from the national team, Najib knocked on the door of Aldridge''s office. Najib, who had always been stiff and steady, was excited, and his hands pressed on Aldridge''s desk, excited: " Aldridge, I have never seen such a talented child, they are far superior to players of the same age!"


    Aldridge smiled with one hand on his chin: "Who are you talking about?"


    Najib sat down and opened the notebook, and the names one by one spit out from his mouth.


    Joe Cole, Villa, Capdevila, Ashley Cole, Pirlo and so on.


    During this time, players under the age of 20 will be transferred to the youth team to train with the team, such as Lampard, Ferdinand naturally shocked Najib.


    He even believes that Millwall''s youth team, as long as it fills a few positions, the overall strength can be stronger than the Hungarian national team.


    Of course, this also has the effect of flowers and green leaves.


    Millwall¡¯s youth team is recruiting new players all the time. Children who are willing to come to training will be absorbed into the team as long as they pass some assessments. Aldridge lowered the standard of this assessment to a little low, because Millwall itself The attraction is not enough. In order to allow the youth team to have enough "playing with the prince reading" role players, it is natural to lower the threshold. In the future, as Millwall''s fame increases, the threshold will naturally increase.


    Najib was very excited. He talked about the characteristics of these players, their positions on the field, their roles in the game, their roles in different formations, different tactical systems, and so on.


    "Aldrich, young players like Ferdinand and Lampard, should not be buried in the youth team, you should let them into the first team."


    "They were originally the first team, but they didn''t enter the national team, the National Youth team has not played recently, so they stayed in the club and trained with the youth team. Slowly, slowly, Najib, listen to me, You just know about Millwall¡¯s youth team, but you don¡¯t know about Millwall¡¯s first team. Listen to me. Don¡¯t worry. You first watch a few first team games. Premier League games. At that time, if you think youth Who can enter the first team and quickly squeeze out the main force and substitute players to become important players, then, I will seriously consider your suggestions."


    Aldridge made Najib restless and Najib also understood that he believed Aldridge''s vision was impossible to do the stupid thing of riding a donkey to find a donkey.


    "Then talk about my job. Although many players have good talents, they can avoid detours in their growth to improve as soon as possible. The first is the tactical system of the youth team, and the second is their position on the field."


    Aldridge nodded solemnly, agreeing with each other''s claims.


    In fact, there are a lot of talented players who are not able to kick out. The big reason is the growth environment. For example, a smart technical player, in a tactical system that emphasizes strength, his expertise can not be played, it is difficult to improve , And the wrong position on the court will make the players unable to find the feeling, and eventually lost.


    Aiming at Millwall''s existing youth players, Aldridge and Najib discussed each other and made detailed plans for their professional lives.


    In mid-to-late September, the league battle reignited. Before the arrival of November, Aldridge led the team to play six league games and two league cups, because the league cup is the main game, and there are three games in the Premier League. The rotation team played, among the six league opponents, there are the same city opponents like Tottenham, but also Coventry, Manchester City, such relegation popular.


    With three wins and three draws, Millwall has maintained an unbeaten gold body since the start of the league.


    However, he was furious after the game with Wimbledon, because the opponent''s Winnie Jones hurt Schneider in the first minute, and Aldridge roared in the heart of the British villain and the future British movie star. : You **** has no future, hurry up and make a movie!


    And his shelling made Aldridge a target, because he was not against the Wimbledon club, and the opponent''s playing was notoriously rough.


    Aldridge blamed the English football style, Wimbledon is a bit innocent, because they are not the first to use rough tactics, in the 1980s, the British football began a popular tactic: a foul to open the first Deter opponents!


    Under the influence of such foul tactics, it will create a strong psychological pressure on the opponent, so as to gain the initiative of the game.


    Wimbledon is so poor that it can only rent the stadium of Crystal Palace for many years. Millwall is not as honorable as Wimbledon. Both teams are still opponents in the same city, but Aldridge really wants to take Wimbledon in his eyes, which is a bit cheap. .


    The chairman of the family said pitifully that a United Nations fan souvenir shop has a higher annual income than Wimbledon club!


    Aldridge couldn''t make it any more important to place Wimbledon.


    Therefore, he aimed at England''s tactics that have not yet disappeared and bombarded the rough rogues of English football!


    This has attracted a lot of criticism from the famous people, thinking that Aldridge has just played a few good games before starting to know nothing about it.


    Yes, Millwall performed well and remained undefeated in 12 games this season.


    But you, Aldridge, are not yet qualified to blame English football!


    In particular, Millwall is still a long way from the top team in the league, so don''t **** smug!


    Of those famous criticisms, Aldridge didn''t care about anything, but one thing was right, he couldn''t refute anything.


    The standings clearly told everyone that Millwall had a huge gap with the leader.


    Newcastle United this season is against the sky. In the first 12 rounds of the league, they have achieved 10 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. Millwall has 6 wins and 6 draws. Although they are second in the league, they can be different from Newcastle United. 7 points.


    In the 13th round of the league, Millwall again visited Merseyside and faced a draw on the road. It was not until the last five minutes that Millwall threw Everton thrillingly.


    Newcastle United won the game again, Kevin Keegan became the most popular coach in the Premier League. Although Manchester United overcame Millwall by one point, they are still 8 points behind Newcastle United!


    Aldridge didn¡¯t have time to look at the standings, he didn¡¯t care at all. If he tried his best to compete for the league title this season, he would be nervous, but he didn¡¯t want Millwall¡¯s first Premier League season to put pressure on the team. As for the qualification for the European War, unless you get the league title, there will be no Champions League to play, there is no need to struggle with the second or third place.


    In front of him, there is a game more important than the championship!

 ~： In the first round, East London Derby struck!

    When a kind of hatred or hostility lasts for a hundred years, and this emotion inherited from generations to generations is presented on the football field, it has surpassed the meaning of the champion, but faith and hope, confidence and dignity!


    Even some teams that have not pursued can be mediocre throughout the season, but the game with the deadly enemy is related to whether the position of the head coach can still be insured.


    Aldridge will not lose his job if he loses all games, but he must win. The East London Derby is not only about the dignity of the team, it is the dignity of every fan who supports Millwall. If they lose to West Ham United, Mill Wall fans will not be able to lift their heads for a long time, they will be ridiculed by ridicule, their hearts are full of humiliation and will last for a long time.


    Fans must be proud, start high and beat West Ham United, but they can make Millwall prouder than the championship trophy!


    The East London Derby became the focus of this round of the Premier League. Before the game day, the shops around Upton Park Stadium had posted notices and closed on the game day. At the same time, the shops around the club would not sell drinks.


    Although it is the East London Derby, Millwall is going to go to the home of West Ham United. It will cross the Thames North. Geographically, Millwall is in southeast London, south of the Thames, and West Ham United is In the east, north of the Thames.


    On the day of the game, it was a bit gloomy, as if it was going to rain but no raindrops were seen.


    Millwall''s bus slowly moved north from the south bank of the Thames. When it stepped on the community street radiated by West Ham United, the speed of the bus became extremely slow.


    Millwall players sat in the bus, looking across the window at the sides of the road, they were all stunned!


    Both sides of the road were overcrowded, both men and women were provocatively staring at their bus, as if they were watching them go to the execution ground, the police pulled out the cordon on both sides of the road, guarding fans from besieging Mill Wall bus.


    Many fans on both sides of the road were holding signs, and they were full of swear words and insults against Millwall. There were even two fans holding a pair of paintings. On top was a blue lion lying on the ground, a pool of blood beneath him, and the lion Two hammerheads were inserted into his body, exactly the two hammers in the West Ham United emblem.


    The hammer will kill the crazy lion!


    Ping pong, the window of the bus has been attacked by fans with stones, but this situation has been foreseen, so today''s bus is almost the same as a bulletproof truck.


    Fans of West Ham United sang abusive Millwall songs outside, and the police chief who sent more than half of the police force in London to maintain order was like a needle felt. The riding police who opened the road in front of the horse was numb. Fearing the riots caused by fan riots and damaging the pond fish, the riot police are standing by nearby today. Once there are signs of riots, they are dispatched immediately.


    Aldrich sat in the car leisurely holding a book to read, he just forced his inner peace.


    In fact, he knew that the war between Millwall fans and West Ham fans had begun in other small blocks away from their path.


    This day is the day of war, from dawn to the end of the night, blood is unavoidable, the only thing Aldridge can do is hope, don¡¯t die.


    But even if it is dead, don''t be an innocent passerby.


    If the fans of both parties take the initiative to step on the battlefield, die if you die, anyway, they do not regret it.


    Haven''t you ever died before? Of course I have died, but both sides can be regarded as a war. How can there be no bloodshed in war? What about the dead?


    This day will not be the utopia of everyone who sings Hallelujah, but the Hell Shura field where the blood is red.

 Chapter 103： Millwall! Chong Chong Chong!

    For the neutral football fans, for the neutral fans, it may be sitting on the sofa with a beer in the left hand and a snack in the right hand, stuffed in the mouth, calm and waiting for a splendid and fair game, but for the coaches and players of both sides of the derby , Fans, this is a war.


    Millwall needs war. On the road from the small team to the top team, the derby war must exist.


    Take a look at the world''s rich clubs, Manchester United vs Liverpool, Milan Derby, Italy Derby, Madrid Derby, Spain National Derby and so on.


    If a giant team does not have an unrivalled Derby match this season, then such giants will be slightly bleak, such as Bayern Munich, Bayern is undoubtedly the most dominant team in German football, but from a public perspective, the same city Derby''s 1860, Bavarian Derby, North and South Derby, etc. will not attract strong attention from the outside world, so that Bayern has been tirelessly shaping the national Derby to attract eyeballs, Mengxing, Hamburg, to contemporary Dortmund, the national Derby opponent has changed again and again In other words, the tradition of derby is continuity, instead of picking the strongest opponent to be able to win the reputation of derby to create a sensation, strong confrontation, the game is wonderful, but the connotation of derby culture is not May appear out of thin air.


    Aldrich also couldn¡¯t tell why Millwall and West Ham still maintain the status of endless enemies. This relationship has no reason after a hundred years. It is not the reasoning novel that finds clues to sort out the context. Or, if the grievances have debts and the owners have a seat, everyone can sit down and calmly talk about "when the grievances are reported" will be resolved.


    Behind the derby war, it has always been in the background of changes in the times, with historical, humanistic, political and economic factors and so on. It is easier for people who understand Spanish history to understand the war between Real Madrid and Barcelona. That is by no means a pure football game. Contains the history of the confrontation between the Catalan nation and the Spanish ruling class, and has a half-century political black hand behind the scenes, even if Real Madrid was founded by Catalans in the past, Cataloni is also flowing on the body Asian blood, but the hatred between Barcelona and the political factors ended in the 1970s, and the strong confrontation continued.


    Millwall is located in London, Aldridge feels that this is a very lucky thing. Excluding London as an international metropolis is conducive to the long-term development and rapid rise of the club. More importantly, London has no shortage of derby opponents. Perhaps it is famous from today. In terms of status and status, the East London Derby is in line with Millwall''s strength, but in the future, Millwall can compete with the revival of Arsenal and the rising team like Chelsea. In the context of Derby, the attraction of strong confrontation Will be more prominent.


    Millwall''s bus arrived safely at Upton Park, home of West Ham United.


    The players'' expressions were slightly nervous, after all, they saw the "welcome means" that the Hammer helped the fans to watch.


    Aldridge said nothing to the players, just let them feel the atmosphere. Although the East London Derby is not a contest between top teams, the hot atmosphere is one of England¡¯s few. Playing in an atmosphere is also a blessing for players. If a player''s career is played in a quiet court atmosphere, then he will definitely feel regretful when he retires.


    Football is a very passionate sport.


    When the players put on their jerseys and went to the court to do a warm-up before the game, they were startled by two things.


    The stands at Upton Park Stadium were full of seats, Millwall fans were placed in the south stands, separated from the hammers to help the fans, there were two rows of security police in the aisle on both sides of the east and west, they faced the seats and were vigilant Fans of both parties have come into contact.


    Fans of the Hammer Gang in the stands no longer blow bubbles, nor sing team songs. The fans of the two major openings of the stage uniformly pointed at the south stands and clamored wildly.


    "Your support for **** is not as good!"


    "Milwall is dead today!"


    ...


    Originally on the road, the Roaring Fans will organize a large number of members, but today because of the ticket was scrambled, Brady only came to Upton Park Stadium with a few hundred members, and beside them are Millwall fans, but It''s not a fan organization, there must even be members of extreme organizations.


    In this atmosphere of fierce confrontation, everyone was infected and could not calm down at all. The fans of the Hammer Gang attacked them with verbal abuse. They also started to fight back. The fans even started throwing debris at each other to attack each other. If it were not for the police to stop it immediately and take away more than a dozen fans from both sides and expel them from the field, the situation would not yet be known.


    The players who warmed up on the court were also uncomfortable. The fans in the stands at the side collectively abused them, pointing their **** at them, greeting their families, and even mixed with racial discrimination.


    The Millwall players tried their best to stay calm. This was perhaps the most tense moment in their lives, and the turf under their feet made them extremely annoyed.


    Is this the stadium?


    This is terrible!


    Not to mention the potholes, there are even many places that are bare. The ball is passed to the warm-up teammates. The ball can bump up and down on the ground several times. During the bump, the ball naturally changes slightly.


    This is of course pre-planned by the Hammer Gang. Redknapp has studied Millwall''s style of play, focusing on ground pass and cut coordination, which is speed + technology + team football style.


    The West Ham United team also continued the rough play of strength and high play. They are not afraid of the bad ground. The ball is flying anyway, not rolling on the ground. The field is uneven and potholes, which will limit Millwall. speed.


    Imagine that on such a terrible field, when a fast player runs, he must naturally be careful of his feet. If he accidentally steps in the pit, he will probably sprain his ankle.


    Although Redknapp is still not old, at least his hair is not gray, but he has the potential to calculate well. This field alone can minimize Millwall''s technical and tactical advantages and give the hammer Help increase the odds of the game.


    Aldrich, who started preparing for this game half a month ago, naturally knew all about it.


    West Ham United has not maintained turf since last week''s game. The intelligence collectors he sent come to see it every day. Aldridge knows what Lao is doing in the middle of the week.


    Because Schneider was injured in the game against Wimbledon, Aldridge suffered some troubles in the formation of the game.


    After the players returned to the locker room, Aldridge stood in front of the tactical board and pushed it gently to the ground.


    Wow!


    The movements made the players startled, they were a little nervous, and they were naturally very sensitive to the ringing. They looked at Aldridge and thought the head coach was also not careful.


    "Today, you don¡¯t need this. You may not know how deep the hatred between Millwall and West Ham United is, yes, it¡¯s hatred, it¡¯s a dead enemy, it¡¯s impossible to shake hands, and today I was defeated by you I¡¯m going to make you pay too, because I¡¯m dancing on your grave, I still don¡¯t get rid of my hatred, and I still have to drag your corpse out from time to time to whip and celebrate. This is East London Derby. Then I will be very disappointed, and you will not be able to achieve higher achievements. You are under pressure to see the ugly hostile fans. You may be surprised: we don¡¯t know, but why do you want to kill me? I want to tell You guys, the football stadium is not an opera house, welcome to the hot and brutal East London Derby."


    Aldridge spread his hands expressionlessly. The players looked up at him collectively. There was an illusion that Aldridge was now more like a blooded general, and they were the soldiers who were about to leave.


    "Today''s game, I can''t say that victory is the second, because it is more important than ever! But above the victory and defeat, there is more meaning. What we want to show is fighting spirit, blood, and cruelty! Fighting like a man to the end and winning, the fans will treat you as a hero, just as you have ruled the world, guarded your homeland and opened up your territory, you will be greater than Napoleon''s achievements in the hearts of fans! I have always regarded you To be proud, you make me proud, but today, if anyone is timid and who is backing down on the court, I¡¯m sorry, I can only honestly say: I have no reason to be able to look at you anymore. That¡¯s it, before playing , Please bow your head and stare at the team logo in the upper left corner of the jersey for a minute, thank you."


    Aldridge walked out of the locker room and went to the court in advance.


    Many players bowed their heads to stare at the team logo on the jersey.


    Like Trezeguet, he understands what Millwall means to him than anyone else, maybe this is not his last stop, but here gives him a stage to take off, high talk about honor may be hypocritical, but more practical Millwall also gave him his fame and fortune.


    Southgate is the most understandable player of the Derby culture in England among these players. Although he was transferred from Crystal Palace, here he grew up completely, and the door of the England national team was also opened to him. All of this Can not leave the track after coming to Millwall.


    As the captain, he said deeply: "Guys, today, desperately."


    After he finished, he stood up, and the other players also stood up. Southgate said lowly, "Milwall!"


    "Chong! Chong! Chong!"


    The teammates spoke in unison.


    "Milwall!"


    Southgate was louder.


    "Chong! Chong! Chong!"


    The teammates'' eyes were sharp.


    "Milwall!"


    Southgate shouted.


    "Chong! Chong! Chong!"


    The team roared in unison.


    Pulling **** the locker room door, Southgate took the lead and the Millwall lions walked out like wild beasts released from the cage.

 Chapter 104： Junk Wing

    West Ham United vs Millwall, this is a Derby match that focuses men, women and children in East London.


    Bars on the north and south sides of the Thames in East London exploded. Fans were holding beer and looking at the ceiling TV in the bar, looking seriously at the game.


    Taxi drivers will turn on the radio to listen to the live commentary on the streets that are endless, and even white-collar workers who work overtime on the weekends will wear headphones to listen to the game.


    And in some remote garbage stations, small stadiums, or alleys, hundreds of thousands of extreme fans of the two teams have already played dark.


    They don¡¯t carry weapons but rely on double fist combat, which is also the tradition of football hooligans. Bringing knives is called deliberate murder, and only the timid and cowardly will bring a fruit knife or folding knife as self-protection, but it is difficult to guarantee When the head is hot, take it out and stab a hostile fan who you don¡¯t know, and when the dead man happens, both fans will stop. The football hooligan is fighting to vent, the essence is really not up to killing, otherwise, they Qi Qi took the knife, the speed of the dead will be faster than the speed of the AK47.


    The uproar in the Upton Park stadium is so loud that you can¡¯t clearly hear what is screaming on the stands. The vocabulary that you can hear is nothing but swearing. Football is not a game for gentlemen. It is as graceful as seeing ballet.


    Players from both sides started to play, Aldridge stood on the side of the court, standing with his head upright, his face serious and not disturbed by the atmosphere of the court.


    In contrast, the coaching staff and backup players not far behind him were trembling.


    Because they just sat down, Babu was hit by a metal lighter in the back of the head, and was sent directly to the dressing room by the team doctor for inspection. The police immediately found the "perpetrators" fans in the stands, took them directly, and then warned this side Fans in the stands, if there is any similar behavior, will clear the five rows of seats from the nearest visiting team bench. This method of intimidation has finally allowed the hammers here to help the fans temporarily settle down.


    The Sky TV workers who were explaining at the scene were also frightened by the atmosphere.


    "The long-lost East London Derby is about to start, because in the past few years, Millwall has been working in the lower leagues, and they rarely met in the cup, so the East London Derby seems to have been forgotten by us, but now it looks like the fans I have not forgotten that when this moment comes, it is far more shocking than ever hot!"


    "Martin, there is no doubt that if they ask West Ham who they want to beat the most, they will not say Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, they will only say Millwall, and vice versa. The promotion of the newly promoted horse is fast. They and Manchester United, Liverpool and Newcastle United occupy the first group position in the standings, while West Ham only ranks in the middle of the league, which has made West Ham United, which has been crushing Millwall in recent years, very much. I''m not convinced. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that Mad Lion is visiting the Hammer Gang today."


    "Andy, from July, when West Ham United talked about Millwall, especially their coach Redknapp, they would describe them as thieves, robbers, and shameless behavior, because Mill Wall Summer poached the hopeful star of West Ham United, and even the close relationship between Redknapp and Old Lampard seemed to have become a stranger. For this, for several months, Aldridge ¡¤Hall remained silent. At the press conference yesterday, he was again asked about this matter. He only said this: excellent players choose ambitious clubs. Many players can get professional contracts at West Ham United. , But it is impossible to get the achievements that can be taken at West Ham United. It is different to come to Millwall. Everyone works hard from the top to the bottom. We have goals and enterprising spirit. Moving forward with a higher goal, I¡¯m sure Millwall is heading towards a glorious path, but what about West Ham United? Ha ha, they are just hanging around, just like the attitude shown by the fans of the two teams, Mad Lion Fans will always support the team, never leave, others don¡¯t like us, we are not rare, we love Millwall, and what about West Ham? Their fans can cheer for the team to **** Manchester United to win the championship, but also for The team loses their strength to their opponents and scolds the team. For them, West Ham is just a source of excitement in life. The team performs well, they are crazy, the team does not perform well, they attack in turn team."


    Martin Taylor''s words were copied from what Odridge said at the pre-match press conference yesterday, without any misinterpretation.


    This is also the character of the fans formed by the two teams in East London through the changes of the times.


    The fans of West Ham United are positive and optimistic, blowing bubbles all day. They do not have too high requirements for West Ham United. The big reason to like West Ham is because of the excitement, because you never know the team¡¯s next performance. What would it be, a giant such as the victory over Liverpool Arsenal, or losing to Bolton, Xie on Wednesday is not as strong as their weaker.


    Millwall fans are more tenacious and tenacious. They never care about outsiders¡¯ visions. The team¡¯s performance is good or bad. As always, they support the team. They have no high expectations for the team, but they will regard Millwall as themselves. The child, like a spoiled parent, behaves well, encourages, and behaves badly, and cannot bear blame.


    The attitude and character of the fans of the two teams are inseparable from the historical traces. They are the abandoned children of London. The artillery of World War II has devastated East London and the dilapidated walls. They watched West London and North London gradually getting richer. His homeland is in a state of collapse, West Ham United has blown bubbles, and in his self-consolation, there is a longing for the future. Millwall¡¯s business has never been shaken by the worldly vision. Let him blow away in the rain, and I will not move at all. .


    Aldridge didn¡¯t go to see Redknapp, the other side was not far away in a club jacket, Aldridge put on a casual coat due to the cold weather, both of them were full of awe, knowing that this is one An unbeatable game.


    ranking?


    Who the **** cares!


    The winning or losing of this game is about the dignity of the team fans.


    "Millwall''s starting lineup is quite surprising. They seem to have discharged a new formation today. Let''s take a look. Starting goalkeeper: Keller. Defender: Thuram, Stam, Southgate , Neal, midfielder: Makelele, Vieira, Nedved, Barack, striker: Trezeguet, Larson. It looks like they are 442 playing a small diamond midfielder, and may be 4312 , We can understand Audridge¡¯s tactical intention more clearly after the game starts."


    "West Ham United¡¯s lineup today is the traditional 442, goalkeeper: Miloks, defender: Breka, Bilic, Ripper, Dix, midfielder: Rolando, Williams, than Sharp, Hughes, Striker: Dumitrescu, Dewey. Compared to Millwall''s surprising lineup, West Ham United has few secrets at all, not knowing Redknapp at home Will there be tactical tactics."


    Aldridge looked at the starting player of West Ham United, one thing is very similar to Millwall, that is to reuse foreign aid.


    In the first year of the 92 Premier League, there were only 12 foreign aids in the starting lineup of the 22 Premier League teams. It also included players such as Ireland and Wales that did not belong to English football in the eyes of the English. At the beginning, West Ham United There is a lot of foreign aid in the country. As the Premier League develops and the English team relaxes from the European war ban and financial austerity for building new stadiums or changing stadium seats, each team has begun to increase the introduction of foreign aid.


    Just looking at the names of West Ham United players on the field, we can see that there are many foreign aids here, Miloks, Nedved''s fellow, Ripper is from Denmark, Dumitrescu is Romanian, One of the defenders gave Audrich a few more glances. The Slavin Bilic from Croatia is now 27 years old. His career at this age is still in the West Ham United. He could not have created any glory in his career.


    However, this Bilic is not a simple character. He played rock in the future and picked up the coach to coach the team. Almost twelve years later, he led Croatia to push England out of the European Championship finals.


    "Garbage Wing."


    Aldridge is also a person who will be infected by the external environment. From small ears to the present, he is naturally hostile to West Ham United.


    He couldn''t help but scolded, and it was considered a return to the hustle and bustle of the stadium, despite the great Q spirit.


    West Ham United has a nickname of "World United" at this time, because they have a lot of foreign aid. However, fans who see the hammer help the unsightly will call them affectionately: World Junk United.


    Millwall is now sneered by traditional English fans: World United.


    But no one would say that Millwall''s players are garbage, and this is the gap in foreign aid levels.


    Junk court, junk players, junk means...


    Aldridge scolded West Ham United in his heart as much as possible, cursing their players to eat their own fruit on this rotten ground. It is best to sprain their feet in one, two, three, four, and five!


    His lineup today is very simple, fight muscles in the midfield, monotonous offensive, and free the ball to break through. This rotten field can''t run at all. The players have a sense of self-protection, watching their feet to avoid small pits and then sprint ? How do you play football?


    Makelele''s full-time defense, Vieira and Nedved control the midfielder, Barak''s offense and defense are in the midfield and the mud. When you want to attack, the midfielder drives up like a tank and crushes with strength!


    See if the flesh and blood of the mad lion will be broken by the hammer!

 Chapter 105： A slap fan turned the audience!

    From the first second of the game, the rhythm is very slow. Millwall, who is good at ground transmission and coordination and fast advancement, has lost the characteristics of speed and power. The players on both sides are more like gladiators. Decide the outcome.


    The war between the fans in the stands continued, and the situation on the court was stalemate, but Aldridge was very calm, because even if he worked hard, Millwall had no reason to fear West Ham United.


    In the seventh minute of the game, Vieira tried to move forward with the ball. The young Williams rushed up and shoveled Vieira. He clearly kicked Vieira''s foot and the referee Walton immediately stopped. game.


    Williams raised Vieira''s hand provocatively, beckoning him not to hurt and get up quickly.


    The hammer in the stands helped the fans to coax and laughed at Vieira''s "weakness."


    Walton walked to Williams and showed a yellow card. No matter how Walton interpreted, he was warned by the referee.


    The FA attaches great importance to this East London Derby and hopes that the game can be completed "safely". The referee should naturally control the foul scale of the game when the danger signal appears, so as not to intensify.


    This yellow card is a benchmark.


    Aldridge did not go to the fourth official to complain on the sidelines. In fact, it is meaningless to complain to the referee many times. Only when the team has a position in England, the head coach has the right to speak.


    The game continued, and Millwall players were a bit uncomfortable on the court, because they were used to running without the ball, fast penetration, and kicking the ball.


    But today, they want to split the coherent movements in training into several movements.


    Stand in position, hold the ball under physical confrontation, ensure the possession of the ball and then play the ball, intersect the running position because it is difficult to sprint and it is difficult to run out of space, the opposing player will immediately watch them against him.


    After more than twenty minutes of adaptation period, Millwall felt much smoother when he controlled the ball.


    As for West Ham''s offense, Millwall will be the one who passes the ball in a slow rhythm.


    Dumitres Cura received the ball while the ball stopped at his feet, Thuram squeezed him out of the position and easily broke the ball.


    In terms of muscle, I''m afraid there are few teams in the Premier League that are stronger than Millwall, but Millwall is not keen on the style of football with power.


    Redknapp looked dignified, he felt miscalculated, and felt that Millwall was the kind of technical team with delicate feet and smooth flow. Today, he intends to use English rough and violent play to scare the opponent.


    But it was almost thirty minutes since the game started. West Ham didn''t even make a shot, and the threat could not pass in. Millwall''s steel barrier in front of the penalty area made their defense impenetrable.


    Redknapp has no clever tricks, only hope the team can create some surprises in the positioning ball attack.


    Focus events do not mean exciting. The two top commentators of Sky TV are more depressed. They can only dryly say who steals who and whose offense returns without success. The rhythm of the game is not fast, and there is no passion to explain.


    However, the atmosphere in the stands has been very hot. The fans of both sides scolded and cheered the fans of the other side. Millwall players took the ball. Upton Park Stadium will inevitably sound violent boos.


    Aldridge frowned, and he found that Barak was struggling today, but his energy was not useful.


    Taking advantage of the chance of a dead ball, Aldridge beckoned to Barak: "Michel, Michel, come here!"


    He was about to raise his life against Barackel.


    It was at this time that the aberration changed.


    In the stands behind West Ham''s goal, a young male fan wearing a hammer gang jersey crossed the stands and rushed into the stadium while the security guard missed the opportunity.


    The Upton Park stadium was boiling, and the hammer in the stands helped the fans laugh and cheered the "heroic" fans.


    It seemed that the male fans in their twenties rushed into the stadium, and the later security guards immediately rushed into the court to catch him, but the British police security body was not stupid, and one of the big fat security guards also fell. After a fall, the funny state is very impressive.


    This fan was obviously purposeful when he rushed into the field. He sprinted at full speed. The player who passed Millwall along the way raised his hands and raised his **** to roar "Fuckyou!"


    Larson and Trezeguet were first humiliated. Trezeguet tried to rush to catch the fan, but Larson reached out to stop him.


    From the end of the court to Millwall, the fan was addicted. Nedved, Vieira, including Makelele, were humiliated by his **** with both hands.


    A series of security guards behind him chased and blocked him, but he couldn''t catch him. He was like a slippery fish, turning left and right and turning away from the chase. In the end, his goal was the Olympic team in front of the visiting coach Delic.


    The 19-year-old Barak was stunned. He had never seen such a scene. The hammer at Upton Park Stadium helped the fans cheer at the same time. The fan who rushed into the court was simply their hero.


    Humiliation Millwall!


    Burst their chrysanthemums!


    Aldridge didn¡¯t tell Barak before he was interrupted by this episode.


    Seeing that the fan rushed towards himself, it is estimated that he also wanted to humiliate his middle finger.


    Looking at the other party''s fierce and fanatical expression, Aldridge was expressionless.


    Five meters, three meters, one meter!


    The fan braked under his feet. It seemed that the end of his rush was coming. He had to raise his hands fiercely, and his mouth had begun to insult words. At this time, Aldridge made an amazing move.


    Snapped!


    coax!


    The Upton Park stadium made a loud uproar and then fell into a silence.


    Fans who cheered before stayed in place if they were hit by lightning.


    what happened?


    Aldridge took the lead and raised his right hand. A sharp slap in the face slammed the fan into the field!


    Then, the world is quiet!


    "WOW! What did Hall do? This is the hottest scene I''ve ever seen, Andy, have you seen it? Did you see it? The fan who rushed into the court rushed to Hall, but was fired. Ear slapped in the face, then fell to the ground."


    "What should I do? What will the head referee do if the head coach hit the opponent''s fans, or on the road? I think Hall has the right to self-protection, and can physically infringe the opponent''s fans first. This gives the head referee a way. The problem!"


    After Aldridge fanned the fan to the ground, his face was still calm, and the police security guards chasing the fans behind rushed over to the fan uniform with dizzy half of the face and then looked at Audrey with a weird look Qi, while escorting the fan away.


    "Michel, Michel!"


    Aldrich turned his head to communicate with Barak innocently, but the other party was still in shock.


    After Aldridge called on both sides, Barak recovered and said, "Boss, you said, I listen."


    Aldrich said to him: "Our forwards were stared to death in the penalty area, because of the venue they are also very difficult to get rid of and a small-scale accelerated breakthrough. Your previous active area was from the restricted area line to the restricted area line, now , You have some premises in the active area, from the midfield to the opponent''s goal, understand? Actively plug in, directly threaten the opponent''s goal.


    Barak nodded to understand that Aldridge patted his shoulder to let him go back to the game.


    At this time, Upton Park Stadium recovered from the silence.


    Millwall fans jumped up and down, and Aldridge¡¯s move just now made them proud and proud.


    Oh shit!


    Have you shaved?


    Rushing into the field to humiliate our mad lion is simply to humiliate ourselves!


    There were signs of riots in the stands, and the hammers under the stands helped the fans. They all had the urge to rush into the field.


    grass!


    Dare to fight the fans of our Hammer Gang!


    Boy, don''t you want to leave here alive today!


    For a time, the stadium was filled with police. They warned, resisted, and even strengthened the manpower and the hammer to help the fans.


    Seeing that the game was about to get out of control, after the referee Walton discussed with the referee group, he hurriedly ran to Aldridge and pulled out a red card from his pocket to show in front of him.


    Aldridge spread his palm and asked, "What am I doing wrong? Why give me a red card?"


    The referee Walton walked in front of him and whispered: "Mr. Hall, this is for your own good. You look around. If you continue to appear in the line of sight of the fans, there is no guarantee that the fans will not rush again in the next hour. The dangerous incident on the court, no matter what, you hit that fan, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the home team fans."


    "But I''m a legitimate defense! Who knows if the guy just came to me and took a knife from his arms?!"


    "These, you can explain to the FA after the game. Now, in order to continue the game, please leave, let the fans in the stands calm down, please cooperate, thank you."


    Aldridge''s face was sullen, but the referee had sent him off the court, and he could only accept it. The referee was not partial to West Ham, even for the sake of personal safety.


    Before Aldridge walked, he gestured towards all the players on the field with a fist, then turned his head up and walked towards the player channel. The stadium staff immediately came over with two umbrellas, greeted Aldridge from left to right , Holding an umbrella on his head.


    On the way into the player channel, the sky really "rained".


    Coins, lighters, watches, leather shoes...


    The players on the Millwall field saw their coach being sent off, and the previous humiliation by the **** of the fans, everyone felt a fire in their hearts.


    East London Derby, shit!


    No wins!


    This is not just about the dignity of the fans, the players on the court realize that it is more about their own dignity!

 Chapter 106： After losing

    After Aldridge walked into the player channel, the FA''s provisionally appointed on-site officials immediately followed him, if it was ok in the second half, but Aldridge was fined in the first half. From this moment, Aldrich Qi can only be a spectator and cannot enter the dressing room during intermission.


    Aldridge came down to the reception room under the guidance of West Ham United club staff, and continued watching the game through the TV broadcast here.


    The two FA FA officials stood by the door like bodyguards. They were in their thirties and looked at Aldridge curiously.


    The first half of the game ended quickly, and Millwall and West Ham failed to create a good opportunity to temporarily end the first half with a draw.


    Aldrich sat Erlang on the sofa, turned his head and smiled at the FA official: "Can you get me a cup of coffee? No sugar."


    One of them went out to ask the club staff for coffee, while the other stared at Aldridge, as if he was more nervous, for fear that Aldridge would come out and go to the Millwall locker room.


    He is the heart of a villain.


    Aldrich planned to stay here honestly, and then went to the locker room after the game. He took out his cell phone boringly. When he saw someone calling, he pressed the answer button.


    "Aldrich, you have to make headlines again!"


    "I don''t want to, I''m just scared."


    "Oh, liar! You can''t direct now, what if you lose?"


    "Lose? I don''t see West Ham United having the capital to win. Millwall can''t lose."


    "bet?"


    "What bet?"


    "Just bet on tomorrow¡¯s dinner, I¡¯m about to tell you, I found a Chinese restaurant, very good, go together tomorrow night, if Millwall can¡¯t win, you invite me, if Millwall wins, I invite you ."


    Aldridge rolled his eyes. "It sounds unfair."


    "Take out your gentlemanly manner!"


    "Okay, the gambling agreement is established, see you tomorrow night."


    After hanging up the phone, Aldridge turned his head inadvertently and found another FA official sitting beside him, with a slightly flattering smile on his face.


    "Friend, are you okay?"


    "Well, I read the newspaper and said, are you dating Chisholm with the Spice Girls?"


    Aldridge shrugged: "Well."


    "Can you get a signature for me? My little girl likes them very much."


    Aldridge stared at the other party for three seconds and lost to the other party¡¯s father¡¯s love. He took out a small book and pen from the inside pocket of the suit and handed it to the other party. "You write down the address and wait for them to release their first album. , Let them sign it and send it to your house."


    "Thank you, thank you, Mr. Hall, you are so young, in fact, I admire you too. You are so handsome, and the tuned team play is really pleasing..."


    Aldridge Pi echoed with a smile, waiting for his coffee, and then took it in his hand while drinking, while waiting for the second half of the game.


    When the second half started, Aldridge and the two FA officials were already very familiar with them. They sat and watched TV side by side like a fan. Aldridge felt that there was something missing, so he stood up and opened the door. , Beckoned to the staff passing by outside the door, paid the money plus errands fee to help people buy some snacks, fried chicken with fries and anything.


    Within minutes, Aldridge and the FA officials watched the game with relish while eating and drinking in the reception room.


    Upton Park stadium is still filled with smoke.


    Fans of the Hammer Gang clamored to kill Millwall.


    They are proud now, as if they had done a good deal.


    Sacrifice a fan and let the other coach get a red card!


    Is it possible to replicate this "tactic" in every game in the future? !


    Redknapp''s small eyes widened. He is now sitting on the coach''s seat. In any case, Millwall''s coach is not on the sidelines. The blow to Millwall is definitely huge!


    But he miscalculated the situation.


    If Aldridge is sent off for blame, most players on the court will find the coach immature and unreliable.


    But the players were just humiliated the previous second, the next second the coach slapped the perpetrators to the ground, the players got home from head to toe, this anger did not hold back long before someone came out for them!


    The boss was fined, it was unfair treatment.


    Now, it is their turn to desperately want to be the leader, for themselves, for the fans!


    West Ham''s offensive still couldn''t get in. Redknapp made midfield players overwhelming and played the roughest long-pass rush. They were more adaptable to the field than Millwall, and naturally played more freely.


    But this style of play is really not cheap before the two layered defenses in Millwall''s midfield and backcourt.


    The ball flew over and then flew back.


    Millwall''s players have adapted to the field through the first half, playing better and better, and are able to make smooth cooperation on a small scale.


    It was just a lack of luck at the goal. Larson and Trezeguet were unable to take the ball to turn around on the front line, and it was not good to barely kick the ball.


    Neil put a shovel on the left side, cut off the ball under Rolando''s feet, the fans on the sidelines shouted fouls, Neal climbed up and passed the ball, bowed his head and cursed: violating your mother''s rules!


    Nedv¨§d received the ball and made a cross from the right side of the road. Vieira, Barak, Nedved, and Vieira went forward together, and the ball was forced to West Ham United between three passes. The team''s defense in the backcourt is tight.


    Barak received the ball in front of the penalty area. The two strikers were closely watched. He did not hesitate and shot a long shot directly at the goal line.


    The ball, like a cannonball, was a bit positive. The goalkeeper of West Ham United, a 34-year-old Czech veteran Milosk, jumped in place but didn''t touch the ball because the ball was too fast.


    The expressions of fans of West Ham United have frozen, but they heard the most pleasant voices.


    boom!


    This foot shot hit the beam and made a huge noise.


    Barak just held his head in disbelief, but the next second, the ball hitting the crossbar bounced out again. Someone jumped high near the penalty spot and headed for the one that came back!


    In the penalty area, the players of West Ham United were stunned. The long shot of Barak just stopped them, but the two Millwall forwards will not just watch, they have already grown into habits. Capture the second opportunity.


    Larson, who has a good sense of smell, made up the header!


    The ball hit the left side of the goal, which was the direction Milosque was unable to save.


    When the ball entered the net, Larson landed and turned his head to look at the lineman for the first time. He found that the flag in the lineman''s hand was still drooping, and he rushed towards the stands where Millwall fans were.


    "It''s Larson again! Barak''s long-range shot almost broke, but he was unlucky and hit the crossbar. But Millwall also had Larson on the front line. He wisely headered the ball and opened the team''s first record. This super shooter has been in a hot state this season. The first half of the league is not over. He has scored 14 goals. This year''s Premier League Golden Boots are strong contenders. He will overtake Greece on the goal list. Le?


    After scoring, Larson ran to the stands where Millwall fans were. The teammates rushed over and roared wildly.


    At the end of the celebration, Larson walked to the corner of the broadcast station, reached out to the camera, and smiled: "Hey, boss, are you watching the game? The goal you gave just now is for you!"


    In the reception room, Aldridge and the two FA officials jumped up. Aldridge even ran three laps around the long table to celebrate the gliders in the reception room.


    "Mr. Hall, he is awesome! Unfortunately, he is not English."


    "I don''t care if he is an Englishman, he is a Millwall man."


    Aldridge sat down after the celebration, loosened the tie around his neck, and continued to eat and drink happily.


    Redknapp''s sullen face, he was forced to a desperate, noisy Upton Park stadium, now creating a lot of pressure on him.


    This **** is the East London Derby!


    Is it a losing game?


    Redknapp made a substitution immediately, desperately adding a forward to the striker.


    Aldridge, who was watching live TV, saw the other person''s substitution, and he directly tilted his feet on the table, almost watching TV on his back, chewing fried chicken, vaguely said: "Lao Lei is gone, only A faint move."


    "West Ham United has one more striker, shouldn''t Millwall be in a hurry?"


    Aldridge waved his hand: "They strengthen their offense, which means that their defense is weakened. Many teams play strong teams and then turn back to attack after falling behind. In the end, the more they lose, the reason is the same. Millwall Obviously stronger than West Ham United, this kind of junk team, I¡¯m not afraid of him getting more strikers. I can¡¯t wait for Lao Lei to be more extreme, playing 424, 235, 127. History has long proved that the tactics of accumulating strikers are ancient. "


    Aldridge is still talking, in the live TV screen, West Ham United attacked directly, Millwall played a counterattack from the midfield and backcourt, Vieira made a long pass, Trezeguet left in front of the penalty area After rushing forward and catching the ball, he volleyed the ball in place, and the ball hit the dead end of the goal, and Milosk was unable to return to the sky!


    Aldridge raised his hands and smiled: "Lao Lei, you will make the headline tomorrow. Substitution is a big failure!"


    Millwall''s first East London derby after boarding the Premier League, the final score was 0:2, West Ham United lost two nets at Upton Park Stadium.


    At the end of the game, the audience booed.


    As dusk fell, West Ham United fans who lost the Derby battle resented. Even though the London Police Department dispatched more than half of the police to maintain law and order, it still failed to stop the riots.


    Fans of the two teams clashed outside the southwestern side of Upton Park Stadium.


    All shops on Green Street and Bajin Road were smashed that night, and the chaos continued until the middle of the night...

 Chapter 107： Im going to kill you!

    Green Street and Bagin Road were in disarray, nearby hospitals took care of the injured overnight, and the East London Derby reignited the fighting after many years, which had a huge impact, although mostly negative.


    Redknapp was powerlessly accused of Millwall''s "hooligans" after the game, believing that it was Millwall fans who came here to make chaos around Upton Park''s stadium chaotic.


    Of course, this is a thief crying to catch a thief, neither is a gentleman on both sides, don''t crow smile briquettes, darker than anyone else.


    Aldridge returned to Millwall. He faced a FAFA hearing because he slapped the opponent¡¯s fans in the game, but the situation was clear at the time, but Aldridge was sent off with a red card. Chose to appeal.


    Prior to the appeal, Aldridge specifically accepted the BBC interview, he wanted to build momentum for himself.


    Facing the interview lens, Aldridge sat casually in the office.


    "The whole process of the matter, the TV camera explained very clearly. The opponent had a fan rushing into the court. The opponent first violated the rules of the stadium management. Then, the opponent insulted my player with words and deeds. Obviously, that person has a purpose. Sexually, when he rushed over to me, I couldn¡¯t predict what he would do. Maybe many people thought he would just scold me, pointing his finger at me, but I don¡¯t think so, maybe he will hurt me, And he was standing in front of me and was about to raise his hand. I think it was a move that would attack me, so I stopped him first."


    "Stop? You slapped yourself and slapped him as a stop?"


    The BBC female reporter looked surprised.


    There are many ways to stop it, but it''s hard to convince people with a slap in the face.


    Aldrich said affirmatively: "Yes, I think if the other party''s behavior is changed on other occasions, then, I am a proper defense to protect myself from being hurt, just like a robber on the street rushes towards you, don''t you Can''t you kick the opponent before he stabs you with a knife?"


    The female reporter knew that Aldridge was secretly changing her concept to defend herself, but she did not break through, but asked: "I heard that Millwall is appealing your red card and also submitted a copy to the FA. Materials, accusing West Ham United of course management dereliction of duty, right?"


    Aldrich said: "Yes, first of all, the referee Walton showed me a red card, he explained to me, not because of competitive factors, but because of the pressure on the court, the actual pressure on the fans of the home team, At that time, many fans in the stands wanted to rush into the stadium. I didn¡¯t blame Walton for his idea. He is a good person. However, the fans of West Ham United are a cancer in the Premier League. If they give it every time by this means The visiting team puts pressure on them, so what should the law enforcement referees do? This has seriously compromised the principle of fair play, and this is the result of West Ham United¡¯s management failure."


    "After three and a half months, West Ham United will be a guest at Lion''s Cave Stadium. As the team''s head coach and boss, can you guarantee that Millwall fans will not replicate the behavior of West Ham United fans?"


    The problem of the female reporter is obvious.


    The atmosphere in the East London Derby is hot. This is not a unilateral provocation of war, but the fans of both sides cannot restrain emotions.


    Aldridge smiled and said: "My team will beat the enemy on the court. Since it is playing, then use football to defeat the opponent. Of course, if there are irrational people among the fans, the game will be disrupted. Then, Millwall officials will not protect this fan or fan organization. We will blacklist him and ban him from entering the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium for at least three years. No one wants to see the fan riots happen, but If this kind of thing happened at the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium, I would rather have no one in the stands and would not tolerate the act of causing misfortune."


    The female reporter was a little surprised, but she did not expect that Audridge was so hard-handed in management. She raised her eyebrows and said: "Talk about Millwall''s next plan. Two weeks later, you have another derby battle. It is against Chelsea. And, before Christmas, there is another game against the top team, Newcastle United."


    Aldridge smiled easily: "Chelsea? I am disappointed with the attitude of Fleet Street. That''s right. Chelsea has added a world called Gullit, the European footballer, but he did not let Chelsea undergo a qualitative change. , Last season Chelsea ranked 11th, now? Chelsea ranked 13th in the league, but every week, the London media will praise Gullit, like a villager who sees the excitement of urbanites, which makes me feel sick, ancient Little, he used to be one of the best players in the world, but it does not mean that he is still the best player at the age of 33. When Chelsea came to Millwall as a guest, I think that Millwall will play with other **** Like the team, easily beat Chelsea. Of course, I think the report on Fleet Street after the game will still say a few good words for Gullit. After all, English football has not seen players of this level for too long. It¡¯s just You have made a mistake. Gullit was a footballer five years ago. He has reached the edge of retirement."


    Female reporters are very excited to hear, in fact, there are countless media outlets that want to interview Aldridge, but apart from the official regular press conference, Aldridge rarely accepts an exclusive interview.


    This time the BBC interview was a highlight. She didn¡¯t want to mess up or make it bland, but the young commander was very face-saving, from shelling West Ham to Chelsea, and even scolded Fleet Street. No subtext. Does it mean that the British media is becoming more and more popular, to please Gullit, a star with great honor?


    She was also preparing to add to the fire and asked with a playful smile: "Last year Millwall and Newcastle United had two encounters, both in the cup match, Millwall lost, you and Kevin Keegan seem to Somewhat unhappy."


    Aldridge and she were so psychic, as soon as she spoke, Aldridge gave her what she wanted most.


    "Kevin Keegan downplayed Millwall and even asserted last season that we will be relegated this season. As you can see, Millwall is in good shape. If the top three league leagues will be relegated, then we may really go back at the end of the season. League One."


    "Hehehe, Mr. Hall, you are really humorous. However, you said last season that I wish Newcastle United to win the league title. It seems that your blessing is very effective. Newcastle United is the leader of the league and the ball behind him. The team has opened a lot of gaps, and even Liverpool, the fourth in the league, seems to have announced that it has withdrawn from the championship this season."


    When it comes to Newcastle United, it is naturally linked to the championship.


    Aldridge said with a sly smile: "There are more than 20 rounds in the league, and not even half of it ends. If Liverpool withdraws from the championship, it is too arbitrary. Imagine if Newcastle United lost three or four games, Then, the team behind them will immediately catch up with them. In any case, I am looking forward to Keegan leading Newcastle United to the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium. Let us seriously compete once on the stage of the Premier League. Of course, this is not the same as the champion. Any connection is just an ordinary league."


    ...


    Aldrich¡¯s interview program was widely watched after the next day¡¯s broadcast. As Millwall¡¯s two worst enemies, West Ham and Chelsea were naturally dissatisfied, and Kevin Keegan returned to Audrey in the interview. Strange, thinking that his kid is a bit smug, Millwall is not yet qualified to compare with Newcastle United.


    Aldridge and Melanie had dinner together, and then strolled along the Thames. After the body and mind were relaxed, the two separated again because of their busy work.


    The FA revoked Aldridge''s red card, but also refused to accept Millwall''s charges against West Ham.


    This is a silent exchange of interests. Everyone takes a step back, so don''t cause trouble.


    The East London Derby has always been in trouble, and it has caused headaches for the FA because it has exceeded the scope of football and directly affected the law and order of London. The FA may not be willing to let government departments intervene in their management, and the East London Derby is not In exceptional cases, security problems will always erupt after Manchester City.


    Millwall still maintains the unbeaten gold body of the league, but their performance is always volatile. The previous game beat the strong team in a shocking game, and the next game may be a bland draw.


    In addition to the fact that Aldridge will send the strongest squad regardless of who is the opponent in the cup, and some league games need to rotate this factor, the team adapts to the Premier League field and responds to different tactics and rhythms, plus weather and other reasons. Qi''s team can achieve the current results, he is already quite satisfied.


    Having just defeated West Ham United, they turned back to Aston Villa in a rain fight but only got a 1:1 draw.


    In addition to the impact of rain on the ground and tactics, Aston Villa¡¯s excellent performance this season is also obvious to all. They firmly occupy the upper reaches of the standings and even rank ahead of Arsenal, although the gap is not Big.


    At the end of November, Millwall greeted Chelsea at home. Millwall fans dismissed Chelsea. They used to have bigger fists than their opponents. Now the team¡¯s performance is better than Chelsea. I don¡¯t know how much it is. London.


    Millwall Chairman Arthur was hospitable and called Chelsea boss Bates three days before the game.


    "Mix the ball, let''s watch the ball at the Lion''s Cave Stadium, I prepared a good wine, we sat in the box to enjoy the performance of Mr. World Football, this is a kind of enjoyment!"


    White-haired and white-bearded Bates gritted his teeth and replied: "I have something to do this weekend, I can''t go to watch the ball."


    "Aren''t you going to cry at home? Come and watch the game. Millwall is also considering learning Chelsea''s policy of introducing big stars."


    "Grass your family, you have to have a limit for shamelessness, what are you proud of? When the Millwall supermarket opens, your mother will run home and cry!"


    "Hey bastard, at least now Chelsea can''t catch up with Millwall with two hands to learn to run like a dog. Would you like to come and pat my ass? Please please me, I will consider selling a few people for you."


    "Really?"


    "You are a real pen, you come and kiss my ass, I will just put a stinky face on your face!"


    "Ah... Arthur Hall, I''m going to kill you!"


    "Then watch the ball at the Lion''s Cave Stadium."

 Chapter 108： Fifty years of laughter

    At the weekend, Bates came to the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium to watch the game because Arthur Millwall Chairman Arthur attended the press conference the day before the game. Come, this is a father''s proud performance of his son.


    So the reporters surrounded Arthur after the press conference. Arthur, who had mixed on the street, had a smooth and cunning character. He was proud of his son in the interview, proud of Millwall¡¯s performance, and finally expressed tactfully. To his disappointment: He originally intended to treat Chelsea boss Bates with kindness, and also rented a Lincoln to pick him up to see the ball, but Chelsea boss Bates seems to have found many reasons to refuse him.


    How shameless the reporters are. The title of the newspaper on the competition day was: Chelsea boss fears Millwall!


    Originally Chelsea hated Millwall, and Millwall fans faced Chelsea with a contempt. This is strange, but this is the reality.


    Bates, who has been in possession of Chelsea for more than ten years, still wants to continue mixing, and also wants to make money through the "Chelsea Village" he built. Naturally, can''t chill the hearts of fans and show weakness in front of the dead enemy? What a joke, it''s no different from suicide.


    So, Bates came, and the moment he appeared in the box, the stadium broadcast shot was aimed at the box.


    Bates and Arthur embraced each other with smiles on their faces like old friends.


    But no one knows what they said when they whispered.


    "Sharr, your Chelsea is almost done? Let the Premier League clubs learn from you? Who will watch the games of the middle and lower teams of the Premier League?"


    "Old bastard, don''t be complacent. You don''t know what a football game is. Millwall can laugh now. When the major teams open their bank accounts in the summer, you will be beaten back to their original form, country gangsters!"


    "Curse, I know you are not convinced, and bought a Mr. Football, but the team is still half dead, ha ha ha, wronged!"


    "Are you stupid? Millwall doesn''t even have a champion, and you are happy to be fart here!"


    "Does Chelsea have a champion?"


    "We have won the top league championship!"


    "That was almost fifty years ago? Ha ha, 50 years of laughter, you can still laugh at a sense of superiority, you are really a pen!"


    The two decent club presidents sat down after a friendly hug and countless greetings to each other''s family.


    In front of outsiders, they were polite and able to coexist peacefully, but the smile on Arthur''s face was from the heart, and Bates was mostly far-fetched.


    Before the start of the game, Aldridge came on the court, and then took the initiative to walk to the Chelsea coach seat. He extended his right hand to the Chelsea coach who was standing on the sidelines with his arms folded.


    "Sir, when I was a kid, I watched your game. At that time, your performance on the court was impressive. If Chelsea players have your level, then Chelsea must be a very strong team."


    Aldrich''s words are half a sword in a smile and half a sincere compliment.


    The man standing in front of him is the famous international football star in England.


    Glenn Hoddle.


    In the 86 World Cup, Aldridge did watch him play for England in front of the TV. The most popular English player in that session was Reinkel, but Hoddle''s performance was indeed impressive.


    Hoddle was slightly surprised to shake hands with Aldridge, and then smiled: "Your team is also impressive, it is difficult to believe that you can control such a powerful team so young."


    Aldrich shook his head humbly and then turned to his position.


    He just admired Glenn Hoddle in the player era and Hoddle in the coach era.


    Human superstition, or whitewashing is called faith, is not wrong, but it is wrong to impose your own superstition on others, and even affect a collective.


    Hoddle is a typical example. When he coached the England national team in the future, he brought the wizard into the England team, and what he said in his mouth was more or less a reincarnation of fatalism, which is not tolerated by the mainstream in the scientific society. .


    Standing on the sidelines, Aldridge watched Chelsea''s lineup. The most dazzling natural is the 33-year-old Gullit. In addition, there are not many famous stars. This is Chelsea''s current development model and is also the FA. A development model that is highly respected for the template: local players plus experienced superstars.


    Perhaps the Football Association thinks that the Premier League is not very attractive today. The club can bring some late stars to provide experience, which can speed up the pace of the Premier League to catch up with Europe.


    And this model will be followed by the Premier League team for a long time in the future, Middlesbrough, Bolton, West Ham United and so on.


    Because Aldridge''s remarks on Chelsea in the interview are quite contemptuous, therefore, from top to bottom, Chelsea hopes to defeat Millwall at the Lion''s Cave Stadium.


    But they seem to have forgotten that in this small lion''s stadium, Millwall started from last summer when Aldridge took over and never lost.


    When the game started, Chelsea''s offense hadn''t taken off, and they fell into full passiveness.


    In the midfield, they have the former superstar Gullit, but he is 33 years old, perhaps through experience, creativity will be better than the Premier League first-line players, but the defensive loopholes are obvious.


    Millwall''s crazy forcing from the midfield made this world footballer dizzy and could not even hold the ball. Instead, Millwall''s rapid advancement played vividly.


    The fans in the stands cheered louder and louder, now they can raise their heads and raise their eyebrows. Although it seems that the Premier League has little hope of winning the championship, at least on the three-point ground of London, there is really no team. Can cover their limelight.


    Arsenal? Sorry, Millwall has already opened the 10-point gap.


    As for Chelsea, it''s not worth mentioning at all, and there is no heritage and glory to be proud of. If Millwall is just flat, Chelsea wears more shoes.


    Watching Millwall launch an offensive frenzy against Chelsea and bombard Chelsea''s goal wildly, the fans of the crazy lion smiled and improvised.


    "Chelsea, Chelsea, you are displaced and left West London. You bought Mr. Football. It is really enviable. Are there more gentleman audiences at Stamford Bridge? They bring supermodels and little stars. Are you sure to be jealous? Solution? Let¡¯s take a look at the belt, let¡¯s **** them together!¡±


    Less than two thousand Chelsea fans shrunk in the corner of the Lion''s Cave Stadium, heard Millwall fans singing, clenched their fists with unwillingness, but also sad and bleeding.


    To a certain extent, Millwall fans'' mockery only tells the truth.


    Chelsea fans were originally working-class backgrounds, but as prices in West London climbed, working-class fans could only "leave their homes" and go south to London, close to the Millwall area, which caused endless hatred between the two teams.


    The people around Stamford Bridge are rich people, most of them are stockbrokers or entrepreneurs in suits. In the United Kingdom, football is the lowest level of entertainment and the most advanced entertainment. The poor and the rich watch it In the game, in order to integrate into the UK, especially in the international city of London, many rich people will take their supermodel girlfriends to watch football at Stamford Bridge, trying to feel the British entertainment culture. What¡¯s more, they will discuss business on the stands of Stamford Bridge and let Stanford At the same time that the bridge watcher has become high-end and atmospheric, it has made traditional fans unacceptable, just as the popular British fans will laugh at Manchester United''s commercialization.


    Millwall was killed in the first half of the game.


    Under Millwall''s crazy offensive, Chelsea announced the fall of the city gate in the eighteenth minute, and Nedved shot into the penalty area and shot the first record.


    In the next half hour, Trezee covered his head and kicked twice, and at the end of the first half, the scoreboard showed 3:0.


    Every mad lion fan at the Lion Cave Stadium has an excited smile on his face.


    At home, they will always enjoy happiness.


    Home advantage is most vividly reflected in the era of Aldridge. They put a lot of pressure on all teams here, and players often play well in the home game.


    This is the familiar advantage of the home court, and the passionate support supported by the fans, as well as the relaxation of the mentality of the players at the door. The combination of various benefits will allow them to play first-class football naturally.


    Before entering the locker room, Aldridge deliberately glanced at the expressions of Chelsea players and found that most of them had surrendered.


    Obviously, Gullit was not an important force for Chelsea''s rise. His performances in AC Milan and Sampdoria in the past year have shown his inability to play in the field. He went to Chelsea but was regarded as the savior, but he I just came here to support the elderly, plus career transformation, and learn to be a coach.


    Aldridge didn''t care about Chelsea. The Premier League now has many strong teams, but Chelsea obviously can''t count them.


    Chelsea still did not improve in the second half, Millwall played more relaxed, and finally Solskjaer, who came off the bench, scored two goals and locked the score on the **** result of 5:0.


    When sending Bates away in the box, Arthur shouted loudly at his back: "Old bastard, welcome you to come again next time! Next summer, you better buy a few more Mr. Football! I like to watch Mr. Football''s Performance!"


    Bates turned angrily and shouted: "Arthur, you **** go lick your own chrysanthemum! One day, one day, Chelsea will blow Millwall into scum! And I will let you kneel Please be kind to me on the ground! But I will still put your **** in your mouth and let yourself be cool!"


    Arthur laughed and said with a red face: "Then you can only go home today to lick your cock! Bates, I love you, old bastard, next month at the Premier League round table, you give I¡¯ll be honest, and trouble with Millwall again. I¡¯m welcome to Chelsea. Your fare is a bit too high. Is the garbage match worthy of such a high fare?"


    Bates stared at Arthur with a beard, staring at Mars with a beard, and finally turned his head away without a word.

 Chapter 109： strange

    Millwall is in good shape, but always has the taste of a snake. They are magnificent at home, enlarged to the end of the London Civil War, but as soon as they walk out of London, they are hard to win.


    After killing Chelsea cleanly with 5 goals, he turned to Elland Road Stadium and played 0-0 with Leeds.


    Millwall seems to be used to the rhythm of winning a tie, even if he doesn''t lose, but it will make you unhappy.


    There is a convention on Monday night in the club, the colleagues of the coaching staff will gather together to drink beer and chat, they call this "beer night".


    In the hotel¡¯s recreation room, Jenson and Babu are playing billiards, and Craig and Naji are sitting at the bar and drinking and chatting.


    In just two months, the Millwall youth team led by Najib made rapid progress in the youth league, and the Youth FA Cup also spurred along, making Millwall''s Leo youth training base the focus of the outside world.


    Players under the age of 21 like Pirlo, Capdevila, Shevchenko, Lampard, Ferdinand, etc. will improve their growth through the Youth League. Perhaps they are overkill for many of them, but this is their growth. The indispensable part of China, hastily pushed them into the body against the fierce Premier League field, which may not be a good thing for them, and foreign players also need an adaptation process.


    After three gaps, Aldridge will put some young players into the bench, and give them some time to watch their game through the bench, but they will never rush to give them a stable position.


    Almost forty years ago, Manchester United¡¯s reserve team was dubbed as "Basby Baby" by the British media. Now, Millwall¡¯s Leo Youth Training Base also has a nickname. These highly talented young players are called " Hall Baby".


    Aldrich came late. He mainly delayed some time in the medical department. After walking in, he smiled directly at Naji at the bar: "The Millwall youth team will continue to be so popular, and our future will be affected by other The team poached."


    Najib, who looks stiff, replied: "I heard that at home, there were already a lot of scouts from all over the country watching our players."


    Aldridge took a bottle of beer and opened it with a sigh: "Not only domestically, Andrew told me that there are many team scouts in Italy and Spain who come to the lion''s stadium to watch the ball. There is no way. Millwall has already It has become the focus, but what can be comforted is that those scouts do not represent the giants. Thank God, this is a world of arrogance. The top giants now even look down on Manchester United and will not care about the small role of Millwall. ."


    Aldridge is telling the truth, the Premier League is on the rise, and its competitiveness in the European War has not risen to the point of attention. Mo said that in the past few years, he has not even entered the quarterfinals of the Champions League. This year¡¯s new champion Blackburn The direct group stage came out of the bottom, and Europe''s eyes have not been aimed at England.


    He said that he was afraid of being dug into the wall. In fact, Aldridge was quite stable.


    The youth team has attracted the attention of many local teams in England, but they can¡¯t afford more favorable conditions to take away Millwall players, and the first team has attracted the attention of other first-tier clubs in Europe, but it may not be able to impress the players unless It''s a real giant. It''s the kind of team whose name has been heard by the fans and has offered a sincere offer. Otherwise, it will be difficult to take away Millwall players.


    Jenson came over and asked, "How is Nedved?"


    Aldridge sighed on his back, "Ten days of rest!"


    "grass!"


    Jenson whispered in a low voice.


    Tolope said with a stern expression: "Makelele suspended, Nedved recuperates, our two main players cannot play at midfield weekend, and Pires was also injured in the last game. Stam was sent off with a red card. By the way, this weekend is the first team to play Newcastle United, but we only have half of the main lineup."


    In a long league, there are always a lot of accidental factors that collide together to form big problems.


    In the last round of the game, Stam was sent to the Elland Road Stadium because of an elbow kick and was suspected to be sent off by the referee. Maclele was suspended for a yellow card. Pire injured his knee when he fell, not a problem. However, there is also a three-week truce. Nedved felt thigh discomfort during training today. The doctor recommended a 10-day break.


    The main lineup is incomplete, but it has encountered Newcastle United, who was crazy in the first half of the league.


    As of the 17th round of the league, the Millwall League has 9 wins and 8 draws, ranking third in the league with 35 points. Newcastle United has 15 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, and has 46 points in the top of the list. It not only leads Milwall by 11 points, but also leads Manchester United 10 points.


    Ten years later, twenty years later, the name Newcastle United, even fans who like the Premier League, will not feel anything special.


    But in this day and age, the Newcastle United team in these months is simply a magical team, Tyneside''s Hollywood.


    So subconsciously, the Millwall coaching staff feels that Newcastle United is now more difficult than Manchester United, at least the results are a good proof.


    But Aldridge didn¡¯t care much. He drank a cigarette and drank his beer, smiling: "The league is a long-distance race, some people lead the first half, some people overtake their opponents in the end, and some people exert force halfway but fail to stick to the end. Ferguson He has started to declare war on Keegan. After Cantona¡¯s comeback, Manchester United¡¯s record has improved significantly. They don¡¯t care at all in the UEFA Cup. Now they are determined to regain their lost ground in the league. Ha ha, don¡¯t you think Keegan is a little tender as a spectator?"


    Jenson put down his club and walked over to grab a bottle of beer and frowned: "I think that the old Scottish man has signs of madness, belittle Newcastle United and attack Keegan. This is justified, but even with other teams in the league. Once again, it was a bit puzzling, he said that other teams did not do their best to face Newcastle United, which is too irresponsible."


    Aldridge grinned: "You think of yourself as Keegan. How would you react to these remarks? Kevin Keegan''s player career is so brilliant. He is a character living in applause and flowers. I can¡¯t doubt anyone else. It¡¯s as if he just got an MBA certificate and applied with confidence. As a result, people told him that we are recruiting technical talents. You can go back to school and learn again. I¡¯ll be honest. In the Premier League coaching industry, Ferguson There are many enemies, but the peers all want to be respected and recognized by him. Keegan seems to be tit-for-tat with Ferguson. In fact, he couldn¡¯t help but Ferguson said: Newcastle United is very strong, Keegan¡¯s coaching ability is strong. This is Keegan. What I want most is because of Manchester United, Ferguson is like a mountain on the top of all the Premier League teams."


    Jenson understood something and touched his chin softly: "The more Keegan cares, the more he wants to prove himself, which is very bad for the team. If the coach can''t calm down, the consequences will be disaster."


    "Actually, there is always only one opponent for the team that wants to compete for the championship: yourself. The champion team should not stare at others, especially if you can¡¯t pin your hope of winning on the basis of competitors¡¯ mistakes. Fighting is just fighting with yourself. If you can play the top level steadily, then there is no reason to miss the championship. If you do not win the championship, you can only say that your performance is not as good as the championship team. Ferguson said a few words, just Let Keegan start to lose his position and draw the attention of the outside world to Newcastle United. What about Manchester United? They only need to beat themselves."


    Aldridge''s words made colleagues nod frequently. They have rarely seen this kind of psychological warfare made by the media before, which is an eye-opener, although this is not new in England.


    "After all, what do we do when we play Newcastle United this weekend?"


    Torop asked curiously.


    Aldrich was confident: "I already have a rough idea. Newcastle United is known to be offensively gorgeous, hehe, then we will welcome them with the most popular strong shield now."


    After listening to Aldrich''s plan, everyone stopped asking and talked about other topics in life. Everyone played billiards and drank, and the beer night was very pleasant.


    In addition to the next match against Newcastle United on the weekend, Millwall will also have a quarter-finals with Manchester City in the next week. As long as they beat Manchester City, then Audridge will be close to Wembley at the end of February next year. The finals have 80% confidence, because the League Cup semi-final is two rounds of host and guest, he is confident to beat any opponent in England within 180 minutes, even if Manchester United and Newcastle United, he is not afraid, because both teams will be for the league And distracted, but Aldridge is more eager for the championship, not only him, Millwall is waiting for the first championship, a full 110 years!


    In the eighteenth round of the Premier League, Millwall was overcrowded at the pre-match press conference against Newcastle United.


    Aldrich entered the court in a suit and leather style. After sitting down, he said: "Tomorrow is just an ordinary league. Please don¡¯t ask any questions about the league championship. Regardless of the result of tomorrow, the Premier League championship will not happen immediately. "


    His remarks made the reporters a little speechless. Their old bankers used this powerful dialogue to create the suspense of the champion suspense. Aldridge shut their mouths in one sentence.


    In desperation, a reporter asked: "Will Millwall send a substitute player to play tomorrow? I mean, according to Millwall''s style of emphasizing the cup over the league this season, Millwall will make the next week''s league. Cup to retain strength in the league?"


    Aldridge replied immediately: "No, we value every game. There are many young players in my team. They can compete in the Premier League. At least in this round, we have not lost any game. It¡¯s enough to prove that we haven¡¯t despised or voluntarily abandoned the game. I can announce tomorrow¡¯s starting lineup. Goalkeeper: Keller, guard: Thuram, Elgra, Southgate, Zambrotta, midfielder: Schneider, Vieira, Gattuso, Barak, strikers: Solskjaer, Larson."


    When the reporters heard the starting lineup, they all showed strange looks on their faces.


    This is very different from all the columns in today''s newspaper that predicted Millwall''s debut. At least two defenders guessed wrong, one midfielder guessed wrong, and the forward wrong.


    What the **** is Aldridge doing?

 Chapter 110： Chain Link

    Kevin Keegan, who had grudged with Aldridge through media rumors last season, changed his tone before going to London. He put the elders on the shelf and highly praised Aldridge''s current achievements, and his words were gentle. Said Millwall is an exciting team.


    Fleet Street analyzed Kevin Keegan''s remarks and came to a conclusion.


    First, Kevin Keegan did not take Aldridge in his eyes, nor did he think that Millwall would cause trouble for Newcastle United to win the championship. His "Peace Declaration" was only modest with victors.


    Second, in the same situation as Ferguson, Kevin Keegan did not want to set up too many enemies, especially when Millwall was only one point behind Manchester United and still fighting for the league title.


    Thirdly, Kevin Keegan probably has already taken a look at a player from the Millwall team. Now they are looking for a striker all over the world. Aspira, who has ended the 58-game undefeated AC Milan horror, is already on board. If there is no accident in the acquisition list of Newcastle United, the transaction will be completed when the transfer window opens in January, but the frontline of Newcastle United is still thin.


    When the vigorous Kevin Keegan came to the Lion''s Den Stadium in a soiled suit, Aldridge approached him friendly.


    The live broadcast shot naturally aimed at the two popular Premier League coaches, trying to understand what they were talking about.


    Both of them kept smiling, but the content of the conversation was a little bit out of touch, and Kevin Keegan was confused by Aldridge''s problems.


    "have you eaten?"


    "Ok?"


    "Have you eaten lunch?"


    "Eat, uh, how about you?"


    "Eat it too, that''s good, see you later."


    "Wait, I want to say no?"


    "Then go eat!"


    Aldridge''s greetings left Kevin Keegan stunned for half a day.


    He also specifically asked the assistants around him and repeated the conversation, trying to ask the assistant to help him analyze and analyze what language trick Aldridge played, and whether there would be any sarcasm in it.


    "Hello everyone, I am Martin Taylor. Today, Andy Gray and I will explain the highlight of this round of the Premier League. Seventeen undefeated Millwall seasons against the league leader Newcastle United. Andy, just now Huo Er took the initiative to talk to Keegan. From the expressions of the two coaches, it seems that their relationship has eased a lot. What do you think?"


    "Hehehe, I don¡¯t think so, maybe both of them can¡¯t wait for each other to be sick and can¡¯t direct the game today. To be honest, today the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium is still full, and Millwall fans are as enthusiastic as ever, let¡¯s take a look The starting list of both sides, Millwall sits at home, they sent a strange starting lineup...I don¡¯t know how to define Hall¡¯s platoon formation, it seems to be 442, but Barak obviously will not go to the side Road, puzzling formation."


    "Oh, Aldridge doesn''t play cards according to common sense. Let''s analyze it slowly after the game starts. Newcastle United''s starting lineup is relatively neat today. Goalkeeper: Pavel Slnicek, defender: Steve. Watson, Warren Button, Felipe Albert, John Berrisford, midfielder: Peter Beardsley, Robert Lee, Lee Clark, Case Gillespie, Big David Ginola, striker: Les Ferdinand. Newcastle United encountered a striker shortage, Keegan can only trust Ferdinand, plus guest today, Millwall is the home dragon, so Keegan discharged a 4141 Formation, see if the more aggressive Newcastle United team in the league today will be able to end Millwall¡¯s undefeated gold body."


    After the start of the game, Millwall did not take out the past momentum at home, but played very conservatively. The defender did not come forward to assist, and a three-man defense was placed in the midfield, Barak, Vieira, Gattuso, The three defended the backline tightly in the midfield and backcourt.


    Kevin Keegan saw Millwall''s posture, then turned his head and looked at Aldridge, who was standing on the sidelines with one hand in the pocket. He said: Boy, are you going to draw?


    That''s right, you can tie Newcastle United and it''s worth showing off!


    Last season, we were double-killed.


    Newcastle United started their gorgeous offensive performance.


    Sometimes Aldridge is envious of the coaches who have changed to coaches, because the glory of their player era will make them attract many players to vote.


    For example, Robert Lee on the field, this player was born in London, but admired Keegan very much, went to Newcastle United, is now on the court by Keegan as a defensive tycoon, inserting assists also has many excellent works.


    In front of him, there is a gorgeous offensive line.


    Ginola, who became a French sinner in the 1994 World Cup qualifier, has performed very well on the left side for several months. The lens is used to assisting his teammates in scoring after he completed a pass, and then turned around to believe Nodding and narcissistically smiling, he is the undisputed star on the court and the sharp edge of Newcastle United''s offensive center.


    On the other side corresponding to him, Keegan knocked Manchester United through Andy Cole for a sum of money, and also brought a talented player from Manchester United¡¯s 92 class to the Magpie formation, Keith Gil Lespi is also very creative on the wing and can assist and score goals.


    Beardsley has nothing more to say. The pride of the Red Army once created the record of the transfer of the English football. Five years ago, the England Derby staged a hat trick. Five years later, no Red Army general can penetrate the Manchester United gate in a game. On three occasions, he was Dalglish''s love general and also became the second-best scoring point in the Newcastle United formation. He scored 21 league goals last season, even if he was already 34 years old.


    Although Lee Clarke is not star-studded, but he was born in Newcastle''s youth training. He has a unique advantage in the integration of the tactical system, and often has super-level play.


    Les Ferdinand, who is at the forefront, has some origins with Millwall. When Aldridge recruited Leo Ferdinand to negotiate, Les was present. He was Leo¡¯s uncle, and now Les is the hottest top center in England. He subverted the impression that the traditional British center was tall and awkward. His foot technique was delicate compared to the previous year. He could flexibly dribble and cut quickly. He had a sensitive sense of smell in the penalty area. The threat was obvious.


    The most magnificent of Kevin Keegan''s attack lineup is that midfielders with a midfielder can form a crazy transposition with the winger. The game is a good look.


    No, after Birzley and Gillespie completed the transposition, they came to the side pass and Zambrotta reacted slower and was shook away. Fortunately, Elgra defended after the delay. , Pressure Ferdinand header header.


    The ball just went out, and Li Ding, who was rushed up, went to the left. After Ginola drew the ball, he quickly got off the floor. The part-time model''s handsome French guy is very smart to pass Thuram, but unfortunately He found the wrong object, Thuram did not play with his foot technique, he directly stuck in his position, let you play flowers under your feet, he will drop ten times!


    Ginola was knocked out of the sideline and the ball remained at Thuram''s feet.


    Keegan jumped up and shouted fouls, but referee Du Jin turned a blind eye.


    Thuram made a big clearance, Millwall''s offense had not been pressed up, and was pressed back again. The offensive of Newcastle United was higher and higher, but it was impossible to form an effective threat.


    Beardsley and Clark made a fuss in the middle of the road. Gillespie found time when he wanted to cut in. The ball just passed from the gap between people. Gillespie didn''t receive the ball because he was cut off halfway. Scatter''s approaching interception made the Magpie players feel powerless.


    Their magnificent offense is like an egg hitting a stone, there is no room for a positional battle, Millwall''s defense is not tight, and he has played a top shot and will be released by the strange Spanish center defender Elgra and play a short pass. Penetration, Southgate will block the first time.


    Slowly, the commentators saw the doorway.


    Martin Taylor was stunned. He repeatedly confirmed Millwall''s formation and defensive characteristics and exclaimed into the microphone.


    "Chain defense! Millwall copied the most popular chain defense in Italy to the Premier League! The live footage should give a full view of the scene, then all audiences will be very clearly told the tactical formation of Millwall, Barack, Victoria Ella and Gattuso are a line of defense before the back line. They will slow down the opponent''s offensive rhythm and form a joint defense. Even if Newcastle United penetrated this line through a pass, they will be met by the center defender before the penalty area. Gate intercepted the pass, and at the end of the line, Spaniard Elgra dragged the defender and added a guarantee to the line! Chained defense depends not only on personal ability, but also on teamwork ability, but Millwall Twenty minutes before the match, Newcastle United was not given any chance, and the opponent did not have a shot! Aldridge, how many skills did you have?!"


    "Martin, Millwall did a good defense, but what about it? Millwall also didn''t make a shot."


    "No, no, it''s because the opportunity hasn''t appeared yet. When Newcastle United can''t attack, Keegan will definitely step up the offense. He will definitely, and in turn, Millwall will have a lot of space to fight back. We will wait and see. , I believe Aldridge can use this tactic, absolutely for the victory in service, he is really a head coach!"


    Aldridge stood on the sidelines, watching the team''s defense become more and more handy, and his mouth slowly outlined a slight smile.


    Because Millwall''s defensive foundation in his usual training is team cooperation to snatch, so on this basis to play chain defense will not encounter too much hindrance.


    Chain defense is based on the team''s tactical defense, which is the core, and it is never a one-on-one to resolve the opponent''s offense by personal ability. Although there are outstanding personal defensive performances, this is a team''s defensive model in play, typical An example of this is Cannavaro, a member of the 2006 World Cup champion. His team¡¯s defensive awareness is world-class, and his performance in the Italian team is unparalleled, but he went to Real Madrid and performed terribly. That¡¯s because his weakness was amplified to the limit. At that time, Real Madrid''s defense did not have any tactics. Like too many La Liga teams, defense is a swarm of rushes, or one-on-one waiting for a La Liga team that is good at ball control to penetrate the defense.


    Through a one-week training exercise, Aldridge¡¯s instructions to the players were simple, the full-backs did not assist, Southgate marked and intercepted, Elgra dragged and destroyed the attack, Barak, Vieira, Gattuso Forming the second line of defense in front of the defender line, tightly connected to the chain of layers.


    Newcastle United''s offense is gorgeous, there is no room for offense, Aldridge will see if the magpies can let the ball grow wings and fly into the gate!

 Chapter 111： You guys are champions

    Kevin Keegan''s scalp is numb.


    The Magpies attacked the five-man frontcourt against the chain defensive formation pulled up by Millwall''s sevens. There was no positional warfare to penetrate the space, and their personal abilities did not prevail one-on-one. The Newcastle United proudly attacked. It looks like Huaquan''s embroidered legs hit an iron plate.


    They wore flowers and walked around to exchange positions, and they dazzled people, but they only made them panting and sweating, and had no practical effect at all.


    Midfielder Robert Lee also stepped forward to participate in the offense. The offensive vs. defensive numbers are 6 to 7, but it still has no effect. Newcastle United play whatever they want in the midfield and frontcourt. Millwall will never take the initiative to grab, just wait After approaching the first 30 meters of the restricted area, they relied on teamwork to resolve their attack.


    Keegan stood up and pointed to the player in the backcourt, also a talented player in Newcastle United''s formation, John Berrisford, full-back!


    In this era of English football tactics where the defender does not attack and the forward does not defend, John Berrisford is an assist-type full-back, which makes him a star on the field, especially every season. World wave goals with shocking eyeballs!


    Beresford rushed up, unable to penetrate the positional battle penetration, his accidental long-range shot would be a good way to attack.


    He just slid a long shot and passed the door, causing a loud uproar from the stands.


    Aldridge didn''t care, the blessings were at stake, and Newcastle United''s offensive frenzy hit this part, which was just right for him!


    Millwall has 7 defensive players, and only 3 players are attacking in the midfield.


    Today, Aldrich chose to use Schneider. It seems that the player''s activity area is not large. Schneider is a wing player. Although he can also move close to the middle, he is not his usual position.


    But this is where Aldridge¡¯s intentions are.


    Beresford made another long shot and the ball was firmly held by Keller. Although Keller as a goalkeeper had limited capabilities and unpredictable potential, he was very obedient and he was always able to do the tasks assigned by the coaches during training. Well done.


    The key to tactical execution depends on the player''s consciousness.


    Keller¡¯s indoctrinated tactical philosophy is very simple. In the position of goalkeeper, he is one of the starting points of the offense. In this era, such a concept sounds a little fantasy. Does the goalkeeper go to attack?


    But Keller did not ask questions, but did so.


    He has developed a good habit. Whenever he hugs the ball, he observes the position of his teammates for the first time. His shot point is two wing, so he only took less than two seconds to adjust, and then He threw the ball and passed it to Thuram on the side.


    Thuram stopped the ball and passed straight to him. In front of him, Schneider ran forward at full speed.


    The area in front of him, Yipingpingchuan!


    Where did the opposing full-back go?


    Beresford is running towards the rear from Millwall''s half!


    Schneider took the opportunity to roll the ball in front of him and then continued to take the ball forward. When Aldridge saw Newcastle United defender Felipe Albert rushing towards Schneider, he showed a greasy smile. , Squeezed his fist hard.


    Don''t look at Kevin Keegan''s euphoria. Five years later, he became a laughing stock. Almost all fans know that Keegan''s team defense is sparse!


    This is not because Kevin Keegan does not have a good defensive player. Not to mention that in 2000 there were four central defenders in Campbell, Adams, Keon, and Southgate. Just look at the current Newcastle United guard line. The Premier League ranks well.


    The Belgian Albert is a central defender who can be selected in the top 30 stars in Newcastle¡¯s 100-year history. Naturally, his strength is obvious to all. Wharton Barton is a crazy helper. In the summer, Newcastle spent 4 million pounds to introduce. The central defender with a market value of 4 million pounds can imagine the strength.


    But football is a team sport. Offense needs cooperation, defense, and naturally needs it.


    Millwall is now fighting back, the number is the same as Newcastle, 3 to 3.


    But Albert voluntarily ran over to intercept Schneider. Seeing his move, Aldridge knew how bad Newcastle''s defense was. There was no tactics. The correct move should be three defenders back to the restricted area. Form a joint defense and reduce Millwall''s offensive space.


    And Albert rushed to Schneider, so that the space inside and outside the penalty area was virtually enlarged. Schneider did not accidentally pass the ball to Larson before Albert approached.


    Newcastle United''s defense is like a poor performance on the rugby field, defensive players chase the offensive players one by one.


    Barton rushed to Larson, but Larson led the ball in one go and slammed Barton behind in the process of sprint acceleration. At this moment, Watson rushing from the other side dropped the shovel and tried to shovel the pull. The ball at the foot of Larsson, but Larsson passed the ball to the goal sensitively in advance.


    Goalkeeper Sirnicek abandoned the goal in a hurry, and there was no defensive player in front of him!


    But the ball rolled to Solskjaer''s unguarded feet.


    In the face of the goalkeeper''s attack, Solskjaer drew the ball lightly to the left front. The overturned Srnisek reached out on the ground. He was embarrassed to reach the ball. Solskjaer easily pushed the empty goal and scored.


    Carnival singing at Lions Cave Stadium!


    "Ole, Ole, Ole Ole!"


    Even the commentator Martin Taylor is familiar with the rhythm of Millwall fans celebrating the goal.


    He shouted with excitement: "Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Super Solskjaer! Today he scored his first goal, although most of the credit for this ball is on Larson who assisted him. However, this is Millwall¡¯s victory and the result of their team¡¯s hard work. Newcastle United¡¯s defense is really uncomfortable and makes people see no shadow of teamwork. Keegan lowered his head and lowered his head. Derich just smiled and applauded, it seems that he was not surprised by the appearance of this goal."


    Aldrich doesn¡¯t like Millwall¡¯s tactics today, and the tactics of individual combat in the future will gradually break away from the mainstream. However, he is a head coach who understands flexibility. If nearly half of the main players can¡¯t play, if he still returns It''s a bit rigid to play offensive football.


    Moreover, the three midfielders of Barak, Vieira, and Gattuso, in their early growth, naturally need to sharpen their defensive skills and teamwork awareness, but this game suppressed Zambrotta and Thuram The talent to step forward and assist only.


    In the case of equal numbers, Newcastle United has only three defenses in the second half, and Millwall has only three players to attack. As long as in a counterattack, a single soldier can break through a defensive player of the other side, then the single-handed opportunity It''s easy to appear, Larson got rid of Patton, Watson did not come to intercept, Larson went to the meeting with a single pole, Watson came to defend, Larson passed the ball, Solskjaer faced the goalkeeper one-on-one, anyway The offensive space is unimaginable.


    Upper Schneider is not only a counter-attack after playing Berrisford assists, but also using his precise pass as an offensive tandem.


    However, such tactics cannot be used for a long time. Players in the midfield and backcourts are used to this type of tactics and will be fatigued and talented, and may even affect their future professional achievements.


    Keegan now has a hard time riding a tiger, what should I do?


    The team is behind!


    Millwall is so **** shameless, playing a shrinking defense at his own home, shameless?


    In his heart, he scolded Aldridge, but Keegan could only make the attack harder for the players.


    Retreat?


    out on a limb!


    Now there is only one way to Huashan, go!


    The Millwall players were so excited that they would not think too much about conservative tactics in just a few tens of minutes, only that Aldridge on the sidelines had magical brilliance.


    The main four can''t make it, and they are facing the league leaders, but they just took the lead easily.


    The boss is simply awesome!


    Newcastle United players were unwilling, their jerseys were soaked in sweat, and they were busy for most of the half. Although there were only a few long-range attacks, Millwall stole a ball in a counterattack. Where to go?


    The most hateful thing is that their armed forces showed that the eighteen martial arts should compete with Millwall, but Millwall set up a turtle shell array, and the seven defense lines were closely connected and overlooked. If it was painted on the line It is really similar to the turtle shell pattern.


    Keegan''s midfield adjustment has no effect, nothing more than strengthening the offense.


    He was born to live for offense. He plays with a magnificent offensive while playing football. His offense is also vivid when he coaches. However, the offense requires space and stage.


    In the second half, Newcastle United kicked more and more anxiously, and began to play personal breakthroughs and long pass unreasonably. Millwall''s counterattack was still very efficient, and he almost penetrated the opponent''s door several times.


    Today, Larson seems to have forgotten to bring the shooting boots, and he has wasted one-and-a-half opportunities in the second half.


    Schneider was gradually stared to death, Aldridge replaced another card, Kevin Phillips.


    With Phillips at the forefront, Larson and Solskjaer sent him shells behind him.


    Millwall changed to 4321.


    This change, Newcastle United was immediately hit hard.


    After Solskjaer withdrew the ball and played a two-on-one match with Larson, then Solskjaer took the ball all the way to the bottom line, almost copying the first half goal. When Patton came to defend him, The cross was given to Phillips, who was unguarded, and this demon knife pushed lightly to break the goal and locked the victory for Millwall.


    When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Kevin Keegan stayed pale.


    Aldridge walked past him arrogantly and smiled at him: "Wish Newcastle United to win the league title this season."

 Chapter 112： M

    On the way home by car, Aldridge hummed in a good mood, and the car played an unpopular band record, a backstreet boy song.


    Aldridge couldn''t figure out why the backstreet boys who debuted their singles would be left out, but this does not prevent him from listening to their music in this era.


    Driving the car into the garage, Aldridge could not help laughing when he hummed.


    It should not be blamed that he was somewhat smug, as long as he thought of Kevin Keegan''s loss of spirit, he couldn''t help but endure.


    Habitually open the mailbox before opening the door to see, he will receive letters from Rowling from time to time, in addition to the "Harry Potter" novel draft, the two exchange life trivia like a pen pal.


    From this year''s correspondence, Aldridge clearly felt that Rowling''s attitude towards life changed from the closed and sad state of depression. During the creative process, he was constantly inspired. Speaking of her daughter''s growth It is happiness between the lines.


    Aldrich is happy for her, and is happy to share with her the happy or bad things in her life and career. Probably everyone is an adult, and their psychological age has reached a certain level. The way of thinking in communication is more mature, and there will be no playing the piano. a feeling of.


    There was indeed a letter in the mailbox, and Aldridge picked it up, and his happy mood suddenly disappeared.


    There was no postmark on the letter, no mailing address and receiving address, and it was obviously artificially stuffed directly into his home mailbox.


    This is not the first time Aldridge has received this letter, and there have been three times before.


    He opened the door of the house, sat down on the sofa, loosened his tie and opened the letter.


    There were seven or eight photos in it. He put the photos aside, then opened the text on the stationery, and finally laughed helplessly.


    This is a letter of courtship, which expresses the feelings of love, and the photos are bold and **** photos, and the young girls are not in the same position, but they cover up the privacy zone very well through the angles, and then put out the charm Emoji.


    Aldridge walked back to the study, opened a drawer, and found the three letters he received before. The contents of the letters were roughly the same, but the photos were different each time.


    He found the first letter to open, looked at the phone number left in the letter, picked up the study landline and rang out.


    It didn''t take long for the phone to be connected, and a clear and pleasant female voice came from the other end.


    "Miss Katie Price, is it?"


    "Well, who are you?"


    "I am Aldridge Hall."


    "Aldrich...Hall...Oh, it turns out to be you! Are you finally impressed by me? Aldridge, I have been waiting for your phone for more than a month!"


    "No nonsense, just talk, how much is it for one night?"


    "..."


    "Not interested? Okay, that was my misunderstanding. Please stop harassing me in the future, thank you."


    "Wait, two thousand pounds."


    "Two thousand? You are so expensive."


    "I guarantee value for money."


    "Okay, I''ll let you earn twenty thousand tonight! Does the Green Hotel East London know? I''m going to book a room now. At 9 pm, you will show up on time. I will let the waiter take you to the room."


    "Twenty thousand... good, good, see you at night!"


    At the end of the day, her voice was already agitated, Aldridge pressed the recording end button next to the landline after hanging up the phone, took out a small tape inside and put it in the drawer.


    Without interest in having dinner, Aldridge took 20,000 cash from the safe and drove to Sand''s bar.


    It was less than seven o''clock, and the bar had not yet entered the peak business hours. Aldrich became the focus after entering the bar, and people who knew or didn''t know greeted him with a toast.


    Before Aldridge sat down, Sander pushed a glass of whiskey in front of him and smiled: "This cup is for me. The afternoon game is wonderful."


    Aldridge drank his whiskey in one sip, and Sander would continue to pour wine for him. Aldridge waved his hand and moved closer to Sander, whispering: "I remember you don''t seem to be married yet."


    Sander shook his head: "No, it''s over, only my wife didn''t show up."


    Aldridge rolled his eyes and said, "Will you not notify me when you get married?"


    Sander smiled: "I don''t want you to spend more money, I was working alone in East London..."


    "It''s done, don''t talk about these old things."


    Aldridge was more disgusted with the past, he could guess what Sand would say, but Aldridge and his friends helped Sand, a black immigrant, to gain a foothold in East London, avoiding him from being confused on the street Just bully.


    For him, it was a tremendous effort, but Sander always remembered it in his heart.


    "Speak, what''s the matter with you coming here today?"


    Sander saw that Aldridge had something to do.


    In a place like a bar, where the three religions and nine masters meet, Sander, as the boss, naturally knows everyone from all sides. Aldrich looked directly at his eyes and said seriously: "Can you help me find ten men who are burning?"


    puff!


    Sand almost spit on Aldridge''s head. He stared at Aldridge with a weird face, leaned forward to cover his mouth with his mouth and whispered: "I know a **** bar, not far from here."


    Aldridge pushed Sand away, displeased: "Where do you want to go? The ten men were not prepared for me, but for her."


    Aldridge took a photo from his pocket and handed it to Sander.


    Sander looked at Katie Price in the photo, and smiled vaguely: "She''s really angry, but a little familiar, eh, and so on."


    Saying that, Sander stooped down and sneaked around behind the bar for a while, and then took out two copies of The Sun and looked down at them with their heads next to Aldrich.


    "Isn''t she the model? She is really young, don''t you like it?"


    Sander stared at Aldridge, and Aldridge asked, "Do you like it?"


    Sander said with a smile: "I am already thirty years old."


    "Rolling ball, a man is more than eighty, and would like a little girl seventeen or eighteen."


    Sand, who was pierced by Aldridge, raised his eyebrows and saw that a guest came in and quickly put away the "Sun" on the table. He was almost assimilated into an authentic sullen British guy, pretending to be a serious outside, In fact, more than half of men will browse the third edition of The Sun when they are alone in the toilet or office.


    Sander remembered, he lowered his voice and said, "Hey, isn''t she just saying in the newspaper that she wants to interact with you?"


    Aldridge nodded, Sander suddenly realized, sighed: "It''s hard for you, who made you famous? On the prey list of professional sugar daddy girls, you are definitely on the list, not only rich, but also give them Bring visibility."


    Aldridge said, "Yes, I hate being used by others, and I can''t commit to buying spring in my life."


    Sand asked tentatively: "Are you looking for ten men? What are you doing? Do you want to threaten her?"


    Aldridge grinned: "Of course not, that''s so vulgar, it''s a crime, is it necessary for me? You help me find ten men, and I will give them two thousand pounds each, and I made an appointment tonight The lady opened the room at the hotel, but I didn¡¯t say that I would go to the scene. The person you found took the money I gave to the hotel. She gave her two thousand at a time. Ten people finished leaving, and she was both happy and happy."


    Sander shook his head when he heard the words: "It''s not necessarily that she is a girl with ambitions, go to bed with you, don''t need money, because she can sell the story to the newspaper, if you can let her take you around, get to know More rich people, she might pay you money instead."


    Aldridge smiled and said lightly: "This is how things go, I give money, the man goes, she is willing to do it, this is a trading transaction, she is not willing to leave, I don¡¯t want to return that money, just What is the service fee for your friends, and she? She will be angry and angry, and she will make some noise, but I am prepared, I like to do it once and for all, so that those women who are close to my mischief can understand that Lao Tzu is not good Don¡¯t bother to treat me as a cash machine and stepping stone. I hate to mix feelings and fame."


    Sander patted Aldridge''s shoulder with understanding, picked up the phone and said, "Then I will find some partners to make them earn extra money."


    Aldridge nodded, and took out 20,000 pounds in a paper bag and stuffed it into Sand. Then he also picked up his mobile phone and called the Green Hotel to make a reservation.


    Before leaving, leave the photo and let Sander pass it to his friend. They went to the hotel and gave the photo to the waiter to pick it up.


    I drove home, just parked the car in the garage, and the community was quiet and peaceful under the dim street lights. The Spaniards ate late, and it was more than seven o''clock. Villa¡¯s parents walked home with a bag of ingredients. When Aldridge came out of the garage, the couple warmly invited Aldridge to dinner at home.


    Affectionate but difficult, Aldridge went to Huluwa''s house for a light meal.


    At the Green Hotel in East London, the voluptuous Katie Price arrived as soon as the lantern was on, but soon she ran out of the hotel.


    Ten men in underwear in the large suite freaked out the young adult, and turned away in panic.


    When she returned home, she was shocked, and immediately called Aldridge''s house.


    At this time, Aldrich was drinking in the bath beautifully, went out of the bathroom to answer the phone, and then went back to take a bath.


    "Mr. Hall, are you humiliating me?"


    "Did they give money?"


    "This is not a question of money!"


    "You made me confused, not a question of money? The price of two thousand pounds was priced by you, and you said it would be worth the money."


    "You''ll regret it! Mr. Hall, I''ve never seen a man like you who is so tasteless!"


    "Thank you, me and you, there is no need to argue who is more noble, Miss Katie Price, please don''t harass me in the future."


    After hanging up the phone, Aldridge closed his eyes and took a comfortable bath, but not long after he picked up the phone and dialed it out.


    "Why do you call me this time? It''s more than half an hour from ten o''clock."


    Aldridge naturally called his girlfriend. He said what happened today. Finally, he said in a low voice: "Melani, I want to go to you!"


    "..."


    "Sorry, I guess I was dizzy in a bath."


    "I haven''t had time to meet the album recently, Aldridge, are you telling the truth?"


    "Why do you ask?"


    "We have been in contact for more than half a year, and I have begun to suspect that you are bent."


    "I''m just busy with work, your suspicions hurt me."


    "Hehehe, well, I apologize."


    "I accept your apology, good night."


    "Don''t worry, I have something to tell you."


    "what?"


    "Aldrich, I miss you too! Good night."


    Dududu......

 Chapter 113： Starting captain Aldridge!

    Aldridge is on fire!


    This fire is famous!


    Because the weekend game is played in the evening, and then will enter the intensive schedule of Christmas Express, Aldridge will leave the team on the second day of the game, he gets up early in the morning to go jogging for fitness.


    But when I just opened the door in sportswear, I saw the paparazzi reporters standing outside with cameras, the camera lights flickered, and Aldridge''s eyes hurt.


    "Mr. Hall, did you have a **** party at the Green Hotel last night?"


    "Have you finally dumped the little singer?"


    "Are there any Millwall players among those who participated in the party last night?"


    "Anyone besides hooking up with Katie Price?"


    ...


    The British paparazzi are pervasive, especially in the tracking of breaking news, which is unmatched in the world. They will make the parties the focus of the first time, and use the most vicious language, the most provocative gesture, the most shameless Ways to disturb the parties in the vortex, or even lose their senses, so that they can take the most powerful photos.


    Faced with these bad-hearted questions, will Aldridge be angry and make irrational actions?


    If he breaks his mouth and yells, regardless of whether the news is true or not, his reputation will be immediately damaged, and if he hits, it will be even more lively.


    Aldrich just walked out of the door two steps, facing countless microphones and cameras, he was surprised for a second, then raised his smile and slowly backed away. When he returned home, he pointed to the door line of the house and signaled the reporters to Be careful, don''t step in, otherwise you will run into private houses.


    He smiled and closed the door gently.


    The paparazzi reporters sighed in disappointment, and then exited to get on their cars, but the high-power camera was still aimed at Aldridge''s apartment.


    Aldridge was sitting on the sofa, he had a computer at home, but now the Internet does not have synchronized news to browse at all. He guessed roughly what happened, but it was the emperor Jordan who bit back.


    When he picked up the phone and was going to make an outgoing call, somebody called in first.


    "Hey."


    "Aldrich, where are you?"


    "At home."


    "Just stay at home, don''t go anywhere, don''t talk to any outsiders, the phone line at home is unplugged, I''m going to find you now."


    "it is good."


    Aldridge hung up the call from Andrew, and then waited quietly. As expected, his landline phone kept ringing. It seemed that many reporters wanted to interview him by phone. He didn¡¯t unplug the phone line. Instead, pick up the phone and hang up, then put the phone at the desk, keeping it busy.


    Andrew came very quickly. A suit and leather suit was quite well appointed by his own lawyer. Two men in their early thirties came with him, probably employees of his company.


    When Aldridge opened the door, the outside was full of reporters, but besides taking a few photos, he had no other news.


    As Aldridge was about to open the door, he suddenly heard someone shouting angrily at this group of reporters: "Your scammers! The boss had dinner at my house last night, and he didn''t go to the hotel!"


    Aldridge looked around and saw Villa standing angrily on the periphery with a football face.


    The reporters were also stunned, and then turned to look at Villa, and some people were going to take pictures, but Aldrich immediately shouted to Billia: "David, go home!"


    Andrew also responded quickly and gave a glance to the assistants around him. The other party immediately went out and warned the reporters who were about to take pictures: "He is not yet a teenager. If you take pictures and publish them, wait for the court''s call!"


    Villa saw Aldridge smile without any nervousness. He showed a contemptuous expression towards the paparazzi, then put the ball down and ran away with the ball.


    Closing the house again, Aldridge sat down on the sofa, and Andrew took out several newspapers from his briefcase and handed it to Aldridge to let him look.


    These are tabloids with lace news as content.


    Among them, the front page of "The Sun" is very conspicuous, half of which is the heroic attitude of Aldridge directing the game on the side, and the other half is Katie Price''s full body photo.


    "Marshal Lioness personally played! He is the starting 11 captain! Katie Price defeated the Green Hotel!"


    Aldridge saw that the title was overturned.


    Opening the next edition to read the news content in detail, he read it with relish.


    The news was quoted by Katie Price.


    She was too innocent: "Everyone knows that I adore Aldridge, and I want to be friends with him, so when he offered me an appointment, I was pleasantly surprised. I thought, maybe something romantic will happen between us. It would be nice, but when I walked into the suite he booked at the Green Hotel, his image of handsome and handsome was completely subverted. He was a disgusting man. There were almost a dozen men in the suite. They barely wore clothes, apparently preparing for fun, Aldridge was wrong, I was not that kind of girl, I left the suite immediately, nothing happened, but I don¡¯t know what they did afterwards, I rejected them , But they are ready to start enjoying, and they will definitely find other girls to serve them. Now, the man Aldridge just makes me sick."


    Aldridge put down the newspaper and went to read other newspapers. The tabloids that followed up later also wrote the same news in the wind.


    Andrew waited for him to finish reading all the newspapers, and then asked quietly with arms around his chest: "What happened? Tell me the truth from beginning to end."


    As a lawyer, Andrew did not look like a child at this moment.


    Aldrich finished telling what happened, and Andrew looked at him strangely.


    Beckoning at him and mouthing towards the kitchen, Andrew said: "Borrow to speak."


    Aldridge went to the kitchen with him. The two brothers lighted a cigarette. Andrew said: "Audrich, what are you doing? You can refuse her, ignore it, or play with her on the scene, but there is no need to make such a big deal. ."


    "What do you mean?"


    "I mean, my brother, you are a celebrity now, you also have money, look at you, wearing Armani, looks jealous, and looks so good, there are countless people cheering for you every weekend, of course There are countless girls who want to be close to you, and there will be the best in it, but what are you doing? You closed the door and turned them away. This is something that only the most devout believers can do in a hundred men, but You don¡¯t have any religion, I can¡¯t figure it out."


    Andrew stared at Aldridge like a monster, but Aldridge shook his head and said: "Brother will do the same."


    "Big Brother¡¯s ambitions are all in his career! He is trying to shape the image of the nobles of the Hall family, but he can¡¯t elute the background of the upstart, he can only make mistakes, others can point to his nose and say he is illiterate, can be said He is an upstart, but he can¡¯t be called a playboy, this can¡¯t make him a noble, but it will make him earn some respect, Aldridge, I always think I¡¯m very similar to you, we can have fun in time, there is no need to give Give yourself the doctrine of ascetic monks. You are entangled, countless women are coming, you are bankrupt, they abandon you, this is the world."


    Andrew said with wide eyes.


    Probably working as a helper in a glass factory at home, Barnett¡¯s eldest brother was very fanatical about the social status of ¡°becoming a man¡±. Even if he became a newcomer in the British business community, he had not lived a corrupt life of sensationalism. On the contrary, He strives to make himself a noble, even if he does not struggle to this height in his life, he will tirelessly let the second-generation and third-generation successors to fulfill their long-cherished wishes.


    Aldridge smoked and remained silent for two minutes, then said slowly: "Andrew, I will tell you a story."


    "You said, we all have time."


    "I know a friend who is an ordinary person, graduated from an ordinary university, doing an ordinary job, and then made an ordinary girlfriend. When he was about thirty years old, he proposed to his girlfriend. The girlfriend hesitated because of her ''S family requires men to have real estate, so this relationship ends. The man continues to remain single, and is full of confusion about marriage and family, because he can''t struggle to produce real estate in just a few years."


    "End?"


    "It''s over."


    "Your friend''s girlfriend is an idiot? Her family is also an idiot?"


    "My friend is a Chinese. The concept of consumption there is different from that in Europe and America. The friends around us, as long as they have a stable job, can own a house and a car, as long as they pay off their loans before they die, but they are different in China. , I saved enough money to buy a house before I died, and most of them did not save enough money before I died. The rented house and the loaned house have no sense of security."


    Andrew blinked and was too lazy to think about the cultural differences between East and West. This was not something he could understand with his brain. He just spread his hands and said: "Your experience traveling around tells you that feelings and money should be separated, right?"


    After thinking for a while, Aldridge nodded and said, "When true feelings are worthless in front of money, it has a great impact on people. So I want to live simpler, today is Katie Price, tomorrow Who will it be? There will always be one girl after another. I am not putting gold on my face, but this is the tradition of British entertainment culture."


    Andrew patted Aldridge''s shoulder and finally understood the brother''s idea.


    In fact, he also has self-knowledge. He has slept a lot of supermodel stars, but if he has no money, those beautiful girls will definitely be tired of him.


    Therefore, his **** only enjoys sensuality, Aldridge does not have such a hobby, and Andrew cannot criticize.


    "Okay, I see. Bring the phone recording to me. I''ll help you get it done. I also guarantee that those professional sugar daddy girls will not aim at you from now on, so as not to insult them."


    Aldridge smiled and touched his fist, and then went upstairs to bring him the recording.

 Chapter 114： Advance to the final

    When the office was serious, Andrew was always resolute.


    He did not show up, but appointed an attorney of the law firm to represent Aldridge and drove away with Aldridge.


    The British paparazzi tracked all the way, and finally found that Aldridge and the lawyer entered the district court together.


    The paparazzi were waiting outside the door, and some people disguised themselves and went in to get news.


    Half an hour later, Aldridge came out first, drove home without the interview.


    The lawyer representing him made a brief statement after coming out.


    "I have filed a lawsuit against Miss Katie Price on behalf of my client, Mr. Audrey Hall, for defamation, and we have applied to the court for an injunction. We have enough evidence to show that Katie Price Miss Si seriously harassed my client''s normal life."


    The paparazzi questioned again and again, but the lawyer said no more.


    They all want to know what the evidence is.


    And those materials have been submitted to the court.


    But later, these evidences were still made public.


    No one knows who leaked it.


    Aldridge¡¯s phone recordings, along with Katie Price¡¯s ¡°Yanzhao¡± mailed to Aldridge, the British tabloid reported the incident all of a sudden.


    While digging deeper into the truth behind the incident, the surveillance video of the Green Hotel was also made public. On the night of the incident, Katie Price came to the hotel, but from the beginning to the end, Aldridge never appeared, and the ten were in the suite. The men inside were also found, and they admitted that they were waiting for Katie Price to come to the house and frankly, and frankly had not seen Aldridge.


    Katie Price wanted to increase visibility and exposure by pouring dirty water on Aldridge. She succeeded. At least her name became known overnight. Everyone knows that she is a self-priced 2,000. Pound overnight girl.


    Andrew is well prepared on this side, all witnesses in the incident are properly arranged, and pressure is put on the court side as soon as possible.


    Katie Price sent a message to Audridge through a lawyer the next day, hoping to make a private settlement. Audridge withdrew the lawsuit, and she promised that she would not harass Audridge again.


    However, Aldridge did not pity Xiangxixiyu''s consciousness and immediately refused.


    In the preparation for the midweek League Cup quarter-final training, the atmosphere in the Millwall team was a bit weird. The players always glanced at the sidelines of Aldridge.


    "Robert, are you lazy? Two laps of the court, go!"


    Aldridge shouted with a straight face, Pire raised his hands helplessly, and then went around the court, the other players laughed secretly.


    It¡¯s not a good thing for coaches to get into trouble, especially for mature and disciplined professional players. If their bosses can¡¯t respect them, then the relationship will be cracked. Even though playing is professional, there are also people The likes and dislikes of the relationship are inside.


    There is already a mentor-apprentice relationship between coaches and players. The most harmonious description between the two should be mentors and friends. If Aldrich does not check himself, he will not have the confidence to ask the players to discipline themselves outside the court.


    The day before heading to the Maine Road stadium, Aldridge attended the press conference alone.


    British journalists have always liked to ask questions that are not related to the topic regardless of the occasion.


    When the relationship with Melanie was exposed before, Aldridge simply answered a few times. Later, because the interaction between the two was very low-key, there was no topic for the tabloid reporter to dig deeper. Today, the topic is concentrated on Aldridge In the defamation case off the court.


    Facing the problem of bombardment by journalists, Aldridge suppressed his hand and said impatiently: "I only said once, she wants to make money, I can''t give her in vain, so I gave her the opportunity to make money, hope She didn¡¯t want to harass me again, but she made rumors and slander my reputation. I had to seek legal solutions to solve the problem. Okay, that¡¯s all for the incident. So far, from now on, there are topics outside the competition, I refuse Reply."


    The reporters were still unsatisfied and wanted to ask more details, but Aldridge kept silent and responded in silence.


    Finally, the press conference finally returned to the football game itself.


    Manchester City have had a hard time in the past few years. They have almost been relegated in the past three years. This season has even fallen to the bottom. Since the beginning of the season, they have been sinking into the relegation zone. In the face of such opponents, Aldridge has tried his best. Sending the main force to play, even as a guest, he has no reason to fear Manchester City.


    The next day, Millwall was energetic and visited Manchester again. At Maine Road Stadium, Manchester City deliberately used a semi-backup lineup to stay in the league. After all, even if they won the cup championship, if they relegated from the Premier League, then the price of the championship trophy is inevitable. It''s too heavy.


    Millwall was mainly anti-guest at Maine Road Stadium. With Trezeguet¡¯s hat trick, he cleanly landed a three-ball victory and headed for the League Cup semi-finals.


    The weekend league was the last league match in the first half of the Premier League. Millwall sent a younger squad at home and ended up defeating the London Civil War rival Queen Park Rangers.


    At the end of the first half of the league, Aldridge''s Millwall still trailed the Premier League leader Newcastle United by 8 points, but the performance of the first season was already exciting enough.


    However, he began to have a headache.


    Because, the Christmas Express has been opened.


    Despite the experience of last season, many foreigners on the team still suffered from homesickness, and the body is not used to the intensive schedule of fast trains without the winter break.


    The most terrible thing is that in early and late January, Millwall is going to play in the League Cup semi-finals. The opponent is Leeds United. Aldridge naturally takes these two games very seriously for the championship trophy. However, in the middle, the Premier League drives fast. Millwall ushered in the second half of the Devil schedule!


    On Christmas Day, Ferguson led a new generation of Red Devils to the Lion¡¯s Den Stadium. Cantona¡¯s comeback made the Red Devils heart-warming. The first game of the league half a season ago is still vividly remembered, and in the festive season of Christmas , Millwall and Manchester United sent another goal feast for fans.


    3:3.


    Unlike the first round of the league, Millwall pulled two consecutive goals in the last twenty minutes while the game was always behind, so that Ferguson, who was in sight, couldn''t help but slammed the sidelines.


    Aldridge looked a bit ugly at the end of the game.


    Of the three goals conceded in this game, in addition to Andy Cole''s long-range goal making it speechless, half of the other two goals conceded is the goalkeeper''s responsibility.


    Catherine Keller is not a top goalkeeper after all, and his weakness will be exposed when he is tested by a strong team with strong firepower.


    But the young goalkeeper Bout, who has played eight games this season, is getting better and better. Although his opponents are not strong, he can always play a wonderful save in the high and low blocks in front of the relatively weak defense. One important trait is that the goalkeeper must have: stability.


    Bout has this.


    Aldridge invited Ferguson to have a drink after the game, but because of Christmas, Ferguson regretted that he would meet again in the next confrontation.


    In order to prepare for the first round of the League Cup semi-finals in early January and the 21st round of the league as a guest at Highbury, Aldridge sent most of the backup lineup. Arsenal led by Leoqi to open low and go high, stumbling at the beginning of the season Now, it is getting better. At least points, Arsenal ranked sixth in the league, the title is hopeless, but at least the gap with Millwall and Manchester United is not big, only 7 points.


    But this is destined to be a failed season for Riocchi. Arsenal still cannot change the shadow of the dull football in the past. Riocic only stabilized the team and revived the team¡¯s fighting spirit, but it did not have a tactical style. Essential changes.


    Therefore, Arsenal, who is good at defensive, faced Milwall''s youth army. The offense had no highlights and the defense was not leaking. The two sides in the second round of the league contest, presented a dull game of 0:0.


    Millwall was overtaken by Manchester United in the standings by 1 point, because Millwall and Manchester United''s tie caused Newcastle United fishermen''s profit. Newcastle United led 11 points before Manchester United and led Millwall by 12 before the arrival of January. Minute.


    At this time, Ferguson put all his energy in the league, and the speech artillery aimed at Kevin Keegan''s firepower.


    Kevin Keegan, who was so angry and outraged, completely lost his mind and said such a sentence in a gaffe when facing the BBC interview.


    "I really want to beat Manchester United, really, really want to beat Manchester United..."


    He was unwilling to say that he was clearly the leader, but he seemed to be lack of confidence, which made him a laughing stock for fans.


    Kevin Keegan is like a good student who took the first place in the class in the mid-term exam, and was suddenly ridiculed by the class leader to say that this is nothing. You must not get the first place in the final exam. The mentality of good students began to be out of balance.


    Aldridge did not intend to join the war of words. He steadily focused on his team. Last year, the team''s performance fluctuated. This year he plans to give players more rotations to lay the foundation for the second half of the season.


    Leeds United has been the fifth-ranked team in the league for the past two years, but this year it has suffered a great decline. They have not been able to distance themselves from the relegation zone. They are in the middle and lower rankings. They are also distracting for the league.


    The first leg of the League Cup semi-finals took place at the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium. With the goals of Larsson and Nedved, Millwall won 2-0 and took the lead.


    Liverpool have been chasing behind Millwall since the beginning of the season. Anfield¡¯s reversed hatred is still hovering in their minds. They are determined to revenge at the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium, but the most fearful thing for Aldridge¡¯s team is in the main scene. Against the team that dares to attack.


    At 3:2, Solskjaer scored twice and Glenshare''s goal helped the team to kill the Reds before the end of the game. Audridge achieved a double kill against traditional giant Liverpool in the first season of the Premier League.


    But then there was a draw against Blackburn on the main scene.


    Millwall fans are not too concerned about the league standings.


    In the eyes of everyone, Millwall drew 1-1 with Leeds at Elland Road Stadium. The League Cup semi-finals beat the opponent 3-1 in two rounds and advanced to the final.


    And their final opponent is Aston Villa, temporarily ranked fifth in the league.

 Chapter 115： Going to volunteer

    "Precursor of collapse! Crazy lion lacks stamina!"


    "The young commander is already satisfied, congratulations to Millwall on their success in relegation, and your holiday has begun."


    "2:1, Nottingham Forest ended the 23-round unbeaten record at the City Stadium!"


    ...


    The media has always liked to make alarmist news to create eye-catching breaking news. In the Premier League after Millwall advanced to the League Cup final, Millwall broke the undefeated gold body by Nottingham Forest on the road and harvested this season. The first defeat.


    The major newspapers began to ridicule, Aldridge did not pay attention to the news, but he still made a profound summary after the game.


    The report from the medical department shows that the players are not in a state of extreme fatigue, but the psychological evaluation reveals that the players have a certain amount of tiredness in the game at this stage.


    There are too many non-England players in the team. They are not used to having no winter break. In addition to the traditional festivals such as Christmas, they have a lot of psychological fluctuations. This problem was revealed in the Premier League last year. The Premier League Higher-intensity pressure games also make it difficult for them to stay focused at this stage.


    People will have the idea of ??taking a break when they breathe, or escaping in the face of difficulties. Professional players cannot refuse to work through strikes, but the mental concentration and physical excitement on the court cannot be sustained all the time. The highest level.


    This kind of problem can''t be completely solved by Aldridge from training or verbal communication. To deal with such a problem, there are only two aspects. The players take the initiative to adapt to the environment, and the coach arranges the players'' game density more reasonably, such as Manchester United, Ferguson will give the team core some holidays in January, in order to allow players to adjust themselves.


    Aldridge also intends to do the same. He plans to give players four days off after the FA Cup in the middle of the week. The FA Cup is played on Tuesday night, and the weekend league is played on Monday night with almost 5 days in the middle.


    The FA Cup is against Wegby, the underdog, and at home, but Aldridge still hasn''t taken it lightly. The team''s recent state is unstable, and he is afraid of the occurrence of a home rollover, even if the opponent is anonymous.


    After losing to Nottingham Forest on the weekend, they were criticized by the media, which inspired the players'' fighting instincts. When the main game was played, the crazy lion washed the visiting Vegambi at home seven goals and advanced to the next round of the FA Cup.


    Aldrich walked toward the locker room after the interview after the game, intending to inform the players about the holiday.


    But when he walked on the road and pulled out his phone, he saw a short message from his elder brother Barnett, which made him walk to the corner and get a call back.


    "Aldrich, are you free recently?"


    "doing what?"


    "A friend from the United States invited me to watch the Super Bowl game. I have little interest in rugby, but I think maybe you will be interested."


    "Super Bowl, when did it take place?"


    "This Sunday."


    "Sunday, I will call you back later. By the way, do you have VIP tickets?"


    "I don''t know, I''ll ask, if you come, I will ask for a box."


    After hanging up the phone, Aldridge thought about walking to the dressing room.


    The seven-ball victory over the underdogs, the players are not excited, but they can also take a pleasant shower, and are in a good mood to eat something in the locker room to fill their stomachs, the locker room will always put food for the players to enjoy after the game This may be a bad tradition, otherwise Ferguson will not necessarily be attacked by pizza after more than ten years.


    After Aldridge entered the locker room, Pire, who scored two goals today, handed a drink to Aldridge. Aldridge waved his hand and smiled and refused.


    He stood against the wall next to the locker room door. On the wall behind him, there is now an FA Cup poster in addition to the League Cup poster.


    After the players finished washing and put on their clothes, they obviously saw Aldridge have something to say, so they sat down and waited quietly, and the hungry players took food to enjoy.


    "I know that during this period of time, everyone felt a little depressed. You can''t be reunited with your family at Christmas, which makes you very uncomfortable. There is no winter break, and you still have to train every day. Watching your friends can enjoy the holiday, but you have to work hard. ."


    The players all kept silent. They looked at Aldridge. Between the generals, they could be honest and honest, so there is no need to shook their heads hypocritically and said: Boss, we are fighters, as long as we can play, we will not feel bad!


    They are human first, then professional players, which is understandable.


    If they are all English native players, Aldridge will not say these things to them, but will criticize their bad performance, because the local players have known the English schedule as a fan since childhood and played for the English clubs. With this kind of consciousness, when the trend of internationalization of the Premier League comes, it is complained that most of the schedule is either foreign players or foreign coaches.


    Aldridge continued: "This month is not over yet, but we have played three league games, two league cups, one FA Cup, and five days later there is another league waiting for us. You said: Grit your teeth, hold on, and continue to pursue the victory. I think you need to relax properly, so I plan to give the team four days off, return to the team training on the day of the game on Monday, until the weekend, you can stay At home, and I, plan to go to the United States to spend this short holiday, maybe you don¡¯t pay attention to American sports, but this weekend, there will be a National Super Bowl in the United States. I¡¯m going to watch the game, if you have Whoever wants to go with me, I am very welcome, you can bring your family and girlfriend, travel expenses club all inclusive, this ghost place in London the weather is very bad, I need some fresh air, you can come to the office to tell me when you want to go A cry."


    Aldridge raised a smile after he finished speaking, and heard the cheers of the sky shaking in the locker room as he turned and went out.


    They are indeed too tired, not how tired the body is, but the soul.


    Aldridge gave them a holiday, which was the joy of heaven.


    In this era, the income of players is not enough for them to buy luxury sports cars and travel around the world. Basically, it is a rare travel opportunity to follow the team to play in the European War. Now Aldridge provides a free trip to the United States, all players are After signing up, they stayed in London just to rest at home. It would be better to bring their family to travel together.


    In the office, Aldridge called all the colleagues of the coaching staff, and spent a night counting the number of people, including the family members or girlfriends of the players, a total of almost 100 people have to travel.


    When he told his elder brother Barnett about the travel plan, Barnett agreed without frowning, and everything would be arranged properly.


    The next morning, Aldridge had breakfast with Andrew at home.


    Andrew is a gentle man in a suit and leather dress today. He came to Aldridge''s apartment early and brought hot coffee and sandwiches. Today Aldridge will appear in court. The defamation case will end today.


    Aldridge put on a suit and went out with Andrew, but heard the doorbell ring. He opened the door and saw a fashionable girl standing outside the door. She smiled and said to Aldridge: "Today I will accompany You go to court together."


    Melanie, who looked like a dirt girl a year ago, now also has fashion elements. Slim black women''s coats complement her slim body, and her long hair is ponytailed.


    Aldrich would not object, and three people and two cars drove to the district court.


    In the car, Melanie told the Aldridge Spice Girls to finish the album recording work. She had a vacation, and Aldridge told her about her next trip.


    "Go to America? Why not call me?"


    "I don''t know you are on vacation anymore. You didn''t say it when you called last night."


    "I want to surprise you."


    "Thank you, I was shocked, are you happy?"


    Melanie rolled her eyes and said, "I''m going to the United States with you, is it convenient?"


    "It''s not convenient and inconvenient. You are willing to go together. Of course I welcome it. I hope there will be no change in the court."


    Aldridge said lightly.


    Katie Price is going to appear in court today. She has a bad look. She is not affected by her career. Even her three-edition girl has higher exposure and considerable sales. Many adult film and television companies frequently send her to her. send invitation.


    Some things, despite the facts, may be necessary to cover the shame.


    There is a saying: be a bitch, stand in a torii.


    Girls like her need a chastity arch.


    She also hopes that the turmoil will be settled as soon as possible, so that the outside world can forget the sarcasm and harassment caused by her "clearly priced" two thousand pounds overnight.


    The court delivered its verdict that morning.


    The restraining order applied by Aldridge came into effect. Since then, Katie Price cannot take the initiative to contact Aldridge. Once she violates the prohibition order, she may face prison.


    The defamation charge was also found, but it only made Katie Price publicly apologize.


    And Aldridge was suspected of actively requesting **** transactions in the recording of the phone. Although it was a trap set by him, the judge still believed that Aldridge must also bear responsibility. Therefore, Aldridge was fined a symbolic payment. Fines and 40 hours of voluntary work for the community.


    Aldridge and Katie Price both obey the verdict.


    Voluntary labor is no big deal to Aldrich. He can take 10 hours a week to volunteer, and he will serve his sentence in a month.


    Furthermore, he volunteered in the Millwall area of ??East London, and he might still be able to make a positive publicity.


    After ending this peachy storm, Aldridge and Millwall Club from coach to player and player family, a huge number of people boarded the chartered plane and flew to New York.

 Chapter 116： Ghost messenger speech

    Perhaps at this time, Aldridge led the whole team to vacation in the United States, which seemed unique. But ten years later, twenty years later, this situation is not special.


    In the middle of the season, many clubs will take a holiday for the team, or officially arrange some business activities, commercial games, go to a horse race, go to the NBA, or baseball games, etc.


    Aldrich mainly relaxes the players, the most important thing is to relax their minds and get a period of adjustment in their mentality.


    At the beginning, the players were having a lot of fun on the special plane under the package. The women gathered together to chat, the men played cards, and Aldridge and the coaching staff teamed up to play poker and make small bets.


    But soon, as soon as the excitement passed, everyone put on their blindfolds and went to sleep. The flight time was not short enough for them to sleep well.


    Because of the time difference, when the plane landed in New York, it was 8 pm at the beginning of the Chinese lantern, while Aldridge boarded the plane in London at 5 pm, flying for seven or eight hours in the middle.


    Outside the airport, Aldridge was shocked by the scene before him when they came out.


    Ten Lincolns were waiting outside, the car door in the middle was opened, and Barnett in suit walked out, smiling and beckoning to Aldridge.


    "Boss, what''s going on?"


    Schneider blinked with his German girlfriend, and the scene of the local tyrant going out really surprised him.


    "Get in the car."


    Aldridge waved his hand and saw the people behind him hesitated. He had to take Melanie to Barnett first, and then got into the car, so that others could make sure that the extravagant Lincoln extension was to pick up Their.


    "It''s not necessary to be so grand? Is it just to travel?"


    Aldridge sighed when he got into the car. Barnett smiled and nodded at Melanie, then opened the small refrigerator in the car and said, "Please feel free."


    Melanie sat down next to Aldridge a little crampedly, waving her hand with a smile.


    Barnett turned his attention to Aldridge just now, and said, "Rent a few cars, not buy. Now go to the hotel and play in New York for the first two days. We will go to Arizona the day after tomorrow. Miss Chisholm, I have some personal business and I want to talk to Aldridge. Will you please go to the hotel and rest with others first?"


    Although Barnett''s tone was bland, she had been in the mall for many years and had been in the top position for a long time. If she came out of his mouth, there was an irresistible majesty. Melanie nodded and promised that she was not a girl who didn''t know anything Will not make yourself a trouble.


    Soon, the convoy stopped in front of the hotel, everyone else got off and settled in the hotel, Barnett arranged it properly, the hotel restaurant was ready for a grand dinner, but he took Aldridge to continue on the road, Came to Manhattan, the commercial center of New York.


    The night was dark, and the two got off in front of a modern office building. Barnett walked side by side with Aldridge and said softly: "The next door is Wall Street. I wanted to put the branch there, but I remembered what you said. Make a fortune low-key, so I bought three floors here as a North American branch."


    "What are you doing here with me?"


    Entering the elevator, Aldridge was still confused.


    Barnett said truthfully: "There is a high-level meeting, I want you to participate."


    "I don''t know anything about business."


    "It doesn''t matter, just listen to it and say whatever you want."


    Aldridge raised his eyebrows and said nothing.


    Although it was evening, the employees of Barnett Company were still at work. They didn¡¯t seem to be busy, but there was an obvious solemnity in their looks. Especially when Barnett walked in, his eyes were full. respect.


    Pushing open the door of a conference room, Aldridge saw that there were not many people sitting in it. There were only eight people in total. They were young in their thirties and had gray hair in their elders. All of them stood up to show respect. Barnett closed the door and pressed his hand to signal everyone to sit down. He deliberately opened a chair next to the chair and let Aldridge sit down.


    Everyone''s eyes were on Aldridge, curious about the young man''s identity.


    After sitting down, Barnett raised his head slightly and said lightly: "This is my younger brother named Aldridge. Well, the meeting begins."


    This meeting is like a general company''s annual summary and new year''s outlook. Adrich also placed a document in front of him. After opening it, he glanced at his eyes and felt dizzy. Then he closed the document and closed his eyes.


    The attendees should all be senior executives of the company, make plans for the company¡¯s investment and management in the coming year, analyze the prospects of various industries in the market, and come up with market reports and research results from the past year.


    In real estate, finance, industrial investment, etc., Barnett¡¯s company investment has not always been a single type, and these are not interesting to Aldrich.


    I don''t know how long it took. After the participants expressed their opinions, the meeting room fell silent, and Barnett sat on the throne and meditated.


    "what¡­¡­"


    Aldridge yawned untimely, which made everyone''s eyes turn to him, and many people''s eyes showed dissatisfaction.


    But Barnett smiled and said to Aldridge: "What do you think?"


    "No opinion."


    "Aldrich, are you alienating me?"


    Aldrich scratched his head, thought for a while, and said, "Internet."


    the Internet?


    The people looked at each other, and Barnett asked with interest: "Can you tell me more?"


    Aldrich casually said: "The current Internet technology has not been popularized, but with the rapid development of the IT industry, computers will enter thousands of households, the operation is simple, and ordinary people get started very quickly, Microsoft''s new operating system has been foreshadowed This, and next, I think the Internet will become the trend."


    "What about commercial value?"


    Asked half a hundred men today.


    Aldrich shrugged: "There is a computer connected to the Internet, you can browse the latest news from all over the world anywhere, you can watch all kinds of videos, movies, variety shows, and even adult shows. You can also use the Internet platform for Chatting with friends makes it easier to speculate at home, etc. This is a trend, and the foundation of the Internet will be a computer for a period of time in the future, and it may become a mobile phone in the future, and the mobile phone is a portable A computer can also achieve the above-mentioned functions. Of course, I am a layman, I don¡¯t want to argue with you, it doesn¡¯t make sense, but think about a computer that occupies the space of a basketball court half a century ago, and Today, a computer can be placed on a square table. This is evidence of the development of technology. The future world will become a global village. Without the Internet, creativity cannot be achieved. Only you can¡¯t think of it. Of course, if you can think of it, you can make a fortune.¡±


    The meeting room fell into silence again. Aldridge did not want to look at other people''s faces. He never expected that any amazing words from his mouth would be embraced by everyone. That is impossible, even if future history will prove His prediction was correct, but in the present, there will always be doubts of mixed praise.


    Barnett smiled at Aldridge after a moment of contemplation and asked, "Is there nothing else?"


    "No, can I go now?"


    "Tom, help me send Aldridge back to the hotel."


    Barnett got up and sent off, and Aldridge left without looking back.


    Barnett stood in front of the window and watched Audrey sit in the car before taking back his eyes. Behind him, someone frowned: "Boss, IMHO, what is your brother''s education?"


    "Education? Ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha!"


    Barnett seemed to hear the most ridiculous joke in the world, laughed alone for a long time, and then turned around and reached down on the man''s shoulder, and said a meaningful sentence.


    "Nine years ago, I studied on the London Stock Exchange, where everyone has a higher education level than me. Everyone who knows me will teach me with the tone of my predecessors. They are more serious than me, smarter than me, and harder than me. , I have more connections and resources than me. I have nothing. I watch them cheer every day for the rising stocks. I can go to the high-end restaurant for dinner while embracing a beautiful girl, and then spend the spring snacks together. I know a fact. It¡¯s impossible to be smarter than them in life, and it¡¯s impossible to spend at least five years to catch up with their academic qualifications. But, on a Monday eight years ago, the seniors around me laughed that I took out all my net worth to buy the stock market. Peeing, I sat honestly in the seat and deliberately spilled coffee on my pants to cover up my gaffe, but that week, I witnessed three people jump off the top of the trading building, and I earned nearly Millions of pounds, almost all the seniors around me are bankrupt. Only me, even in urine, can raise my head to accept the worship of the surroundings and walk out of the exchange. Do you know who told me to do this? Just after I graduated from elementary school My brother who is no longer studying. In the past ten years, I understood two things. First, any investment is gambling, education, and experience cannot guarantee a stable victory. Second, hard work is no match for luck. God let you lose everything, you It is impossible to win! And I am sure that my brother is the messenger God gave to the Hall family, just like the word contained in his name: RICH, will make the Hall family rich!"


    These business elites listened intoxicatedly and changed to others, they must sneer, but Barnett''s success is full of legend, which is enough to make them awe-inspiring.


    "As my brother said, you turned my eyes to the Internet. I think what he said makes sense. At least Microsoft has made me taste the sweetness."


    When Barnet ordered it, the others immediately solemnly agreed to come down.


    Aldrich didn''t know that he came to the United States and went to the conference with vacation ghosts. He seemed to have to say a few words to deal with the errands, but he succeeded in the rise of the future Internet empire of the Hall family.

 Chapter 117： Quarterback

    Aldridge returned to the hotel at almost 11 pm. The receptionist registered his room number. He took the room card and walked into the elevator. He went upstairs and into his suite.


    The suites of this top-level hotel are very luxurious and comfortable like home. Aldrich turned on the lights and fell directly on the bed. Although he slept for a while on the plane, he couldn¡¯t sleep well after all, he was a little confused now.


    àâàâàâàâ!


    Aldridge opened his eyes suddenly, and the slight footsteps in the room made him alert.


    Thief?


    He immediately turned over and sat up, grabbing the cordless phone on the bedside table as a self-defense weapon.


    "Who?! Don''t come, be careful I kill you!"


    Aldridge roared, and then looked dull.


    Standing at the end of the bed was Melanie. She wore a thin lace pajamas, her slim carcass was looming, and her dark brown long hair fell, even though she didn''t wear much, but it was obviously well-dressed, especially a scent of incense The wind rushed in front of the face, attracting people in the room.


    Melanie was amused by Aldridge¡¯s reaction. She pointed to the small cordless phone and said, ¡°If I were a gangster, would you rely on me to subdue me?¡±


    Aldrich dropped the cordless phone at random, threw it like a wolf and hugged her into his arms, then turned over and pressed on her again. In the laughter and scream of her, Aldridge kissed her fiercely. Lips.


    Everyone knew what was going to happen next. Melanie was just holding Aldridge''s head at first, but soon she took the initiative to take off Aldridge''s clothes. When she saw that Aldridge had no trace of fat She was completely stunned when she had eight abs.


    Aldridge stood up and displayed his figure in a bag, proudly said: "Starting at the age of ten, one hundred sit-ups a day for the first month, two hundred for the second month, and one day a year later One thousand!"


    Melanie blushed slightly and asked, "Don''t you want to be a coach when you were a kid?"


    Aldridge grinned: "It also needs some protection. In case I can''t be a coach, I can still be a model. Anyway, I can''t be hungry without self-reliance. Besides, although I''m not stinky, I also hope to have some charm in front of girls."


    "You are smelly now!"


    Melanie could not help but say.


    Aldrich lay down and closed his eyes: "Hey, how about you doing a backflip? It''s like in the MV."


    "I''m afraid to crush you!"


    Melanie rode down on him, and the two kissed again.


    The lingering entanglement, the limbs tangled, and soon the two took off because of the heat.


    There is a saying that depends on the body of the woman, Melanie is a sports girl, her body is extremely flexible, and her skin is elastic, especially the fullness of the place is also unambiguous, although the chest is not particularly great. Derrick just put it down, the most important thing is the amazing flexibility.


    The gasps of the two echoed in the room. While Melanie was waiting for Aldridge in a reclining posture, the **** Aldridge stopped, and he looked at him gently, puzzled. The trembling carcass reached out and pressed on her cool buttocks, and asked, "My dear, why are you shaking? Don''t you have a physical problem, is it too exciting?"


    Melanie turned to look at him with a blushing face, and finally closed her eyes without looking shy and said, "It will hurt a lot for the first time! I''m a little scared."


    Aldrich scratched his head and asked, "Are Liverpool girls so conservative?"


    "Please, I was only 19 years old when the hot girl group was founded. I had no time to interact with boys before. I have to learn vocal music, dance, performance, and exercise every day. Not every Liverpool girl has a lot of time to wear a bikini to go clubbing Fuckyou, Aldridge, you¡¯re hurrying! Don¡¯t worry me, it¡¯s not good at all, how much will it hurt?"


    Aldridge raised his hand to make a gesture similar to salute, solemnly said: "Sorry, I can''t answer this question."


    In his heart, he was full of respect for Melanie. Many people succeeded in relying on talent and sweat. Perhaps it was her past efforts that allowed her to still achieve extremely high music achievements after the dissolution of the hot girl group. She is the future British music champion. The single has the most female singers.


    Melanie was amused by Aldridge¡¯s movements again. She buried her head in the pillow and said, ¡°You really bend! It¡¯s all this time, and...ah... hurt!¡±


    "Ah... it hurts!"


    Aldridge pressed on him, Melanie frowned, sweating on her forehead, and raised her head to see Aldridge in front of her. She sighed and aired, crying and laughing: "What''s the pain of your cry? It''s me! "


    Aldridge stared at her eyes motionlessly and said softly: "I really hurt, too tight."


    Melanie, who suddenly looked like a red tide, hit his face with his forehead and gritted his teeth: "You are not a man."


    "Aha! Then I will show you whether I am a man or not, tell you a secret, I am a virgin."


    "From the day I met you, you were a complete liar! You are so skilled, do you think I will believe your words?"


    "I''m a virgin in my life, I haven''t touched a woman in almost ten years!"


    "Can you make a joke at this time? Honey, it feels weird."


    "Then come!"


    The two of them, who had a taste for the marrow, were in bed this night, and they tirelessly experienced the passion brought about by youth.


    The next morning, Aldridge and Melanie held hands together, plus their fellow partners, they wandered around New York City in a magnificent manner, and the momentum was quite large. The places they passed were very eye-catching. The agent will take the initiative to submit business cards, and men and women are invited.


    Who makes them a group of men to wear casual clothes is a sportsman.


    Visiting the Rockefeller Center, boarding the Empire State Building, and going to Broadway to watch an opera, Aldridge was very satisfied with this trip. At least the team was filled with laughter every day, and the faces of the players and their families were filled with happy smiles.


    On the weekend three days later, Aldridge came to the Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe Valley, Arizona.


    The 30th Super Bowl of the United States will be staged here.


    The Super Bowl is the largest unofficial national festival in the United States. It can be described as a national event. Because the game is a single event, only one day, so in the subsequent Forbes evaluation, the Super Bowl has become the world''s most commercially valuable game. In this day''s competition, there are countless classic advertisements, and some of the most popular music artists bring midfield shows.


    The tone of pretending to be like "up and down hundreds of thousands per second" on the lips is actually staged on the Super Bowl stage. In the later thirty seconds, the advertisement is worth millions of dollars and is replaced by RMB. The seconds are really hundreds of thousands.


    Aldridge they watched the game in the box at the Sun Devil Stadium. They were in a very relaxed mood. The women gathered together and talked about what they had seen in the past few days. Melanie wasn¡¯t the kind of girl with a birdie, she had a strong Independence, so he will not stick to men all the time. Aldridge also likes this way of communication. He stands in front of the window of the box and overlooks the entire Sun Devil Stadium. Today, the stadium capacity is close to 80,000, and the TV in the box is full. The camera frequently sweeps the corners of the stadium. In today''s American feast, there will be celebrities from all walks of life, across sports, politics, music, film and television and other fields.


    Aldrich didn¡¯t know any of those celebrities. He just wanted to enjoy a wonderful football game.


    The two teams that reached the final this year were the Dallas Cowboys and the Pittsburgh Steelers.


    "Boss, thank you. My family and I have had a great time these days."


    Nedved came to Aldridge. Aldridge turned back and smiled: "It''s nothing. Life is the two parts of work and life. Both can enjoy and life will be happy."


    "Boy, do you like watching football games?"


    Pirlo, who was still single, also came over, followed by Schneider, Larson, Barack and others.


    They are all dressed in suits and leather shoes. After watching this game, they will go directly to the airport and return to London.


    Aldridge smiled with his arms: "I can''t talk about it. I just watch it occasionally. The football exported from the United Kingdom to the United States has become rugby in the hands of Americans, becoming the most popular sport in the country."


    When it comes to American sports, maybe everyone will say it is the NBA directly in more than a decade, but in the United States, the NBA has always been unable to surpass the popularity of rugby and baseball. Even before the commercialization of the NBA, it is not as good as professional ice hockey.


    Aldrich called Pirlo deliberately and asked softly, "How have you been training in the club these months?"


    Pirlo said truthfully: "It feels good, I can complete the requirements of Coach Najib, but I don''t quite understand how my position can play in the game. First, every player wants to be a key player. I also hope that."


    Aldridge nodded in agreement, saying, "Well, you are right, do you know where the stars are in football teams?"


    Pirlo shook his head.


    "Quarterback, this position represents the mainstream American values, WASP. In the football field, the quarterback is the brain and soul of the team. It can be seen from the selection of the most valuable players in the game. The quarterback was elected. The most frequent game of strong dialogue is always called a super quarterback matchup. It''s a bit like the confrontation between the two biggest players on the football field."


    Pirlo thought deeply, he knew that Aldridge told him that this must be purposeful, and he waited for the following.


    Aldridge continued: "Football player 10, player 9 and even player 9 and a half have been defined on the football field, but there is no traditional definition of player 4, until a Dutchman begins to implement his tactical philosophy in Barcelona. , That person is Cruyff, and in the course of his tactical experiment, the effective number four player, named Guardiola, Guardiola is the four consecutive championships in the Barcelona League and topped the main European champions. The dream-dynasty created by Ruif is still in our minds. After all, it was only a few years ago. Andrea, maybe you didn¡¯t watch rugby before, but just relax and enjoy a Super Bowl game today. Observe the role of the quarterbacks of the two teams on the field, and then, I will tell you whether you will become a key sir on the football field in the future."

 Chapter 118： Post-organization

    The fanatical atmosphere of the Sun Devil Stadium burned the intellect of the audience. They were so enthusiastic that they enjoyed today''s Super Bowl.


    Aldridge looked down at the stadium with a glass of wine, surrounded by a group of players. Some of them understood the rules of football, and some didn¡¯t. It doesn¡¯t matter. Rugby is not a difficult sport to understand.


    Especially in the offensive and defensive segment of the game rhythm, the two teams will be divided into the offensive group and the defensive group, who is attacking and who is defending, at a glance.


    As long as you watch the game for five minutes, you will know that the one who dominates the offense will plan the attack after the kickoff is the core of the team, the quarterback.


    Eckman of the Dallas Cowboys, O''Donnell of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and two super quarterbacks dominated their respective teams'' offense.


    After Ackerman completed an accurate long pass to help the team advance the offensive yardage, Aldridge turned his head and smiled at Pirlo: "The quarterback is very demanding on the court. Passing is one of the basic qualities. Long Passing short passes must be extremely accurate. At the same time, you need to read the situation between the electro-optical flint and pass the ball to a safe zone. Sometimes you will take a risk, but the risk will be great. If you succeed, you may help your teammates directly. TD, failure, interception by opponents, will be a devastating blow."


    Pirlo took it very seriously. With his football wisdom, he understood that Aldridge''s words were also applied to the football field.


    The quarterback is not a running back on the front line, but it is definitely the soul of the team. It belongs to the kind of handsome man who plans to win a thousand miles.


    But football is still in the midfield era. Pirlo asked: "Is the quarterback a No. 10 player on the football field?"


    Aldrich shook his head and said: "The player No. 10 is the core of the team. It can pass, shoot and shoot. This is very demanding on the player. Andrea, I want to discuss it with you and your teammates. The trend of football tactics is very important for your future development, because when you are at the peak of your career, you will be in the process of changing the trend of football tactics. Of course, I dare not arbitrarily judge the next ten years. There will be changes in football tactics in ten years, but some changes will certainly occur."


    The players looked a bit serious and discussed the tactics with the head coach. This was not a job requirement, but it definitely helped them grow and helped them understand the role Aldridge arranged for them to play on the field.


    Aldrich thought thoughtfully: "We can first review the evolution of the tactics in football, 127, 235, WM, 424, 442, 343, 433, 451, etc., there is a trend is obvious, formation structure The more reasonable, while the number of strikers is decreasing and the number of midfielders is increasing, why? In addition to the influence of the rules, the most important is the tactical innovation, WM of Arsenal in the 1930s, Italian chain defense in the 60s, 70 In the era of the Netherlands, all attacks and all defenses, etc., today, it is almost difficult to have a tactical revolution, because the world is entering an era of synchronization, which means that the most popular tactics will be studied by everyone, and it is difficult for someone to innovate. And like some countries that are derailed from the world, they will be astounding in tactics. For example, North Korea will display a weird formation of 3331, but they can think in reverse. It is also because they refused to synchronize with the world to have such alternative innovations. , Despite the failure."


    The players listened attentively to Aldridge''s speech, as if they were obsessed. As football players, they naturally like to listen to some novel ideas that are like fantasies but absolutely not lip service.


    "442 is considered to be the formation pioneered by England and is still in use today, but in that year, in fact, Maslov in Dynamo Kiev had already changed to 442. At that time, he was strongly questioned. His 442 and England won the World Cup. The 442 is similar but does not inherit each other, and Maslov explained to himself: football is like a plane, and the increase in speed means the increase in air resistance, so you must make the nose more Streamlined. If you don¡¯t think about it, this sentence doesn¡¯t mean anything, but what he wants to express, I think it¡¯s like this: when players are getting faster and faster, they need to find space to become It¡¯s more difficult, so the offensive players must hide deeper, so that they can¡¯t be easily protected by the opponent.¡±


    Aldridge''s words made these real kickers nod.


    Even if it is the top striker, there will always be a spotless game, so there are two points in the offense, one is to find defensive flaws, and the other is the concealment of the offense.


    Pirlo seemed to think of something, saying: "The striker retreated."


    Aldridge snapped his fingers and nodded: "The striker retreats, or the diversification of the forward''s role ability. When a forward has the ability to organize, his retreat strategy or organization will disrupt the opponent''s. The mark-to-man project makes our own offense flexible and a little bit like the ninth and a half players we call now, but such players have too high technical requirements. Perhaps the top figure in this position will only appear in football in five years. Now, the best player in this position is Baggio. He can retreat to the organization, often send assists, and can score goals. But not every player who wants to play this position can do his job. The level is also a limitation of ability. There are many front midfielders who can assist and many forwards who can score, but it is too difficult to combine the two and reach a balance point that will sublimate the team."


    With that said, Aldridge gave a meaningful look at Devede.


    For players in that position to be able to pass and shoot, Nedved meets these characteristics, and Aldridge hopes he can become such a player.


    Pirlo was a bit sad, he knew his own characteristics, and dribbling breakthrough was not his strong point at all.


    "Remember our two games against Manchester United this season?"


    Aldrich asked with a sip.


    The players nodded, and the players who played the game just remembered it.


    Aldridge laughed: "When the game hits a certain level, the pair of offenses on both offense and defense is very fierce. We have marked their forwards, they have killed our forwards, and even all the offensives in the frontcourt. The players have no offensive space, and who is the player who changed the game situation? The player who dribbled through the ball and suddenly entered the penalty area, the player with the full-back who suddenly assisted to disrupt the opponent''s defensive rhythm, the striker withdrawing the cold arrow and so on Instead of using the same number of people in a textbook-like position to complete the offensive slowly. We have always performed well and scored many goals, but do you understand what kind of environment our goals come from?"


    Barak blurted out: "Rapid advance after defense."


    The other teammates nodded in agreement that the tactical concepts they had instilled in the training were perfectly executed on the court, which also made them an excellent transcript for the young army.


    Aldridge nodded and said: "Yes, the football tactical trend is based on defense. It is very difficult for us to attack when the opponent sets the defensive formation. Similarly, we put the defense and wait for the opponent to attack. It will also give the opponent. It creates a lot of resistance. Therefore, our offense is often based on the opponent¡¯s failure to attack. It is when the opponent does not have a defensive formation at the end of the attack. The ball is advancing fast, the players scattered their positions to find the free time, and the important reason for playing the speed advantage is that we want to destroy the opponent before the defense is completed."


    The players listened intently, and many of them could only fully understand part of the essence of their current football style under Audridge''s detailed explanation.


    Football is a competitive sport where you attack me, I attack you, and back and forth. Unlike the rugby side, after the offense ends, the offensive group comes off, the defensive group comes up to defend such a rhythm, the mobility of football games is difficult to use one by one The stage is defined in seconds, and as the rhythm speeds up, the characteristics of the players become more comprehensive. Quick counterattack is the basis for the top teams to settle down. It is difficult for teams that will not fight back or have no advantage in counterattack speed.


    "If you have watched Guardiola playing football, you may have the same feeling as me: Barcelona seems to have fewer people. Yes, he is actually very inconspicuous, honestly staying in the backcourt to do dirty work, after taking the ball And he passed it to his teammates honestly. Only in some of the elaborated videos can he see the ability to pass threats and draw a salary in the counterattack. However, in the 90 minutes of the game, in the 42 rounds of La Liga, his high light count Not many, there is a sentence I hope you will not be outgoing, so as not to be attracted by the media misunderstanding, I think Guardiola is Cruyff¡¯s failure to tune up the disciples."


    In this era, although Guardiola has the title of a dream of achievement, he is not too outstanding for the achievements and influence of contemporary midfielders.


    The players stared at Aldridge doubtfully, waiting for his explanation.


    "I don¡¯t know whether Cruyff¡¯s idea of ??creating a four-point player is similar to a quarterback on the football field, but at least Guardiola¡¯s role has not fully replicated the role of a football quarterback. He is the main defense. The player is also the main player in the offensive backcourt organization. Both tasks are on his shoulders. He can achieve this achievement today. I think it is already amazing, but as the rhythm of the football game accelerates and the confrontation becomes increasingly fierce No player can be top-level at both ends of the offense and defense. Simply put, the player will become more and more comprehensive, but the energy in the game must be divided into primary and secondary, and the main energy is defensive, then, it will definitely be sacrificed Offense, and vice versa, and football is a team sport. I think that the two tasks of defense and organization of offense can be separated to allow the two players to maximize their strengths in the midfield."


    Aldrich has always believed that it was precisely because Guardiola¡¯s player era was not particularly successful, at least he was definitely not considered a world-class player, which allowed him to perfect Cruyff¡¯s tactical thinking after serving as a coach. Sublimation, he solved the contradiction that appeared in him. Therefore, his dream three dynasties, Boutix defensively, Harvey controlled the organization, Iniesta emphasized the offensive response, and created a terrible Barcelona with balanced control of offense and defense.


    This tactic is also used by many strong teams to a large extent. The defensive and organizational tasks are separated, and the strengths are complemented. The advantages are maximized, and the better teammates can make up for their shortcomings. The highest level of team football is In this way, it is not necessarily necessary to move the clouds and water, but in the process of making up for each other, the teammates play an energy of 1+1 greater than 2.


    Pirlo''s eyes lit up and asked, "Boss, why did the organization mission take place in the midfield and backcourt?"


    Aldridge laughed: "Don''t you say that before? The players are getting faster and faster, and the offensive points must be hidden deeper. The closer the top teams are, the closer they are to the opponent''s penalty zone, the less there is room for organization and more. The striker is in front and will only be marked by the opponent. The attacking player¡¯s rear insertion will become the mainstream of the attack, which will move the organization area backwards, the starting point of a wave of deadly offensive, even from the goalkeeper, the guard. , And the transition of the midfield and the choice of forward attack points will become the key points to determine the victory."


    Pirlo didn''t have an epiphany until this moment. He began to understand how Aldrich and Najib''s requirements for his training would play a role in actual combat.


    But whether this will succeed, he does not know, but it is worth trying.

 Chapter 119： Missing Millwall

    Pirlo questioned tactics such as the midfielder and the postponement with interest, and Aldridge was happy to discuss this topic with him, Barak, Vieira, Nedved, Lampard and other midfielders. They all listened with interest.


    The 1990s was a time when the front waist was blown out, but then it entered a period of stalemate, and even more than ten years later, the classic front waist disappeared in Europe.


    The front waist is also advancing with the times, and has developed into a breakthrough goal and a breakthrough strategy. It will no longer be an offensive organization''s shoulders. In the final analysis, it will be the acceleration of the game rhythm. The players are faster and pay more attention to the defense of the midfield and backcourt. , Plus "beast waist" popular.


    The advantage of the delayed midfield is obvious. The first is space, which allows excellent passers to play well. The second is that the frontcourt has an offensive core as a cover to attract defensive attention. This is the concealment of the offense. The third is the control of the midfield.


    Aldrich instills what he knows to the players, hoping that they can look at the midfielder as a battalion from a tactical perspective.


    At the end of the first half of the Super Bowl, the two teams played equally well, and at midfield, the most powerful show of the Super Bowl kicked off in anticipation.


    The Super Bowl midfield show is a stage where classics are born. The musicians on stage here are definitely big names among the big names. The American music scene has always been proud of winning the Grammy Award, but on the stage of the Super Bowl midfield show, the big show Most artists have already won several Grammy awards and are the most popular artists in the United States.


    Unfortunately, this year''s entertainer, Aldridge and his team are not interested, even though the Diana Rose was named the most successful female singer in history by Guinness three years ago.


    Melanie seemed very excited, and ran to Aldridge, and could sing along with Rose''s singing.


    Aldridge felt sorry that he should come to the United States to watch a Super Bowl three years ago.


    Because it was the superstar Michael Jackson who debuted on the Super Bowl midfield show in 1993. The midfield show that day still holds the national championship rating.


    After the halftime show, everyone took a short break, the second half of the Ladas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers continued to fight.


    Through their familiarity with rugby games in the first half, the lads paid more attention to watching the game in the second half.


    They saw the Pittsburgh Steelers defensive group repeatedly limit their opponents'' offense through strong running. They simply built a steel wall in their own half, but the Steelers'' super quarterback O''Donnell passed once. The ball was intercepted by the Cowboys'' cornerback and directly counterattacked to TD. There was a burst of exclamation in the box!


    Even if they are not football fans, they have also experienced the pleasure from the passion that broke out in a short while.


    The attacking pass was intercepted, and the defensive team ran all the way to counterattack Huang Long.


    This is also very common on the football field, and this kind of mistake is precisely committed by the core of the team organization, and there is no chance of dying.


    Aldridge smiled at the players: "I read some information before the game. The Steelers'' quarterback O''Donnell is the player with the lowest passing rate in the NFL season, but his passing success rate is obvious today. Very low, the data does not represent anything, especially the decision of the game trend and prediction results."


    The earliest statistics on various kinds of boring data on the football field are Japanese people. They like to list various data of a game in football magazines. They cannot completely deny the meaning of the data, but the data can never restore the truth of the game, because football is not science. .


    The second half of the game is in full swing, and any mistakes will lead to an irreparable ending.


    Aldridge enjoyed a textbook game.


    When the fierce battle ended, the Dallas Cowboys defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 27:17.


    Looking only at the post-match statistics, the Steelers¡¯ O¡¯Donnell passes, successes, and passing yardage are higher than the Cowboys¡¯ Ackerman, but Ackerman¡¯s success rate is higher, and O¡¯Donnell The three fatal pass errors led directly to the MVP of this game. The Cowboys cornerback Larry Brown directly scored 14 points for the team in the second half after two successful interceptions. Qiankun reversed.


    The Super Bowl ended, Aldridge left the Sun Devil Stadium with a satisfied team, went directly to the airport and rushed back to London.


    It was already Monday morning when they returned to London. The players slept honestly on the plane for six or seven hours. Then they went home and took a break in the morning. In the afternoon, the team took the bus directly to the Riverside Stadium. Middle Fort opened a new stadium this season.


    The game takes place in the evening, the players come here early to adapt to the venue, the physical therapists who came with the team are at the home of Middlesbrough to help the players relax their muscles and soothe their muscles.


    Aldridge walked back and forth on the court, maybe the players were still a little tired because of the fatigue of the boat, but at least they were in a good state of mind, and there was always a happy smile on the face of the chat between teammates.


    There is a subtle relationship between the spirit and the body. Sometimes even if the body is energetic, but the spirit is depressed, I am afraid that people are also without combat power. Aldrich has always believed that the decisive factor for the player¡¯s combat power is the mental attribute, and the body is the explosive power. As long as the basic equipment is not overwhelmed by excessive fatigue, the mental state is the first consideration.


    Middlesbrough is also a newly promoted team, led by Brian Robson with an impressive record this season. At least they are far from the threat of relegation zone. As long as they score another 13 points this season, they should be able to declare their relegation success. The league has fourteen rounds.


    Millwall did not hold a regular pre-match press conference yesterday, which made Fleet Street crazy.


    They always like to follow the focus of the team, the training will be followed during the midweek, but Millwall played the FA Cup on Tuesday to the day of the league game on Monday, Millwall¡¯s training ground was empty, and the reporters were on the training ground. When I saw the deserted scene outside, I thought that the financial turmoil had swept through, and Millwall ran away from top to bottom.


    They dig deep in many ways, but they don''t know where Millwall is going.


    Overnight, Millwall first team coaches and players were all missing.


    Even if they went to the player''s apartment to squat for a little bit, they had no gains. There were free tabloids distributed on the street to scream: In the magical event of East London, Millwall collectively disappeared!


    On the day of the game, Millwall landed on the riverside stadium and scared everyone.


    Because they did not return to the training base, they came directly to report away.


    When the game is about to start, in the full riverside stadium, Aldridge is sitting on the coach seat and is feeling the comfort of this new stadium seat. He has been circling his own new stadium plan in his mind, and now sits in someone else¡¯s new stadium Naturally, I have to feel something, so I have a psychological expectation. If he is not satisfied, he will make detailed requests with the contractor in the future.


    Brian Robson walked over to take the initiative, and Aldridge looked up when he was blocked. When he saw Robson, he smiled: "Congratulations, we have all succeeded in relegation!"


    Robson laughed and shook hands with Aldridge standing up. He asked, "Where has Millwall been recently?"


    "Ok?"


    "The newspaper said Millwall was missing these days."


    "Oh, I took a leave for the players. There are too many foreign players in my team. They are not used to winter and have no holidays."


    "Don''t you come here in last year''s League One?"


    "Alas, it cannot be said that this kind of thing is not experienced once, and it will be fully dealt with next time. It is a bit like conditioned reflex. At that stage, it will naturally be psychologically unbalanced."


    "You still need to study psychology to manage the team?"


    "Of course it is. Didn''t Brazil bring a psychologist to win the World Cup?"


    "Haha, is Baili evaluated as naive, is Galincha a mentally retarded psychologist?"


    Aldridge laughed in unison with Robson. The two coaches were very happy to talk on the sidelines. The live shots were naturally aimed at the two. Robson''s Premier League coaching debut was successful. Aldridge''s Premier League first season It is undoubtedly amazing, both of them are the focus of the Premier League team coaches this season, and a major discovery in English football. Some media will look forward to whether they will coach the England national team in the future.


    For the head coach, the league is a small river and lake, where there will be like-minded friends, as well as irreconcilable enemies. Although the solo traveler will also become the focus, it cannot be integrated into the mainstream.


    Aldridge has a lot of friends. Even if it was given to his first defeat of Nottingham Forest coach Clark in the season, the two can have a good conversation after the game, and his enemy is also very clear. Redknapp is one of them. Keegan also did not deal with him. His position before the public is very clear. No matter how the outside world interprets him, he will not be included in the category of everyone. In particular, it is impossible to be the coach of the Premier League.


    When the game started, Aldridge was sitting on the coach seat. He did not have high requirements for the game. The players played normally. It was enough to play according to the tactical requirements. What he did not tell the players was: victory is not important.


    He thought so, but he didn''t necessarily tell the players.


    In this game, he told the players not to pursue fast pace, because they had just returned from the boat, and they controlled it through continuous passes. The formation was withdrawn later, and based on the midfield, they slowly sought offense.


    Middlesbrough had a draw at the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium in the first half of the season. At that time, they were desperately trying to score their teeth, but now they are a little relaxed. After all, they are their home court. Then the offensive banner was raised vigorously.


    The status of the players on the field in this game made Aldridge overjoyed. They are more calm and confident. They have a temperament to control the game.


    Middlesbrough played very tenaciously.


    Pireneche''s shot was blocked by the goalkeeper, Larson succeeded with a supplementary shot, opening the team''s first record.


    Twenty minutes later Middlesbrough equalized with a corner kick.


    In the second half, Tweed made a good pass for Trezeguet, who volleyed the goal at the corner and the team led again.


    In the injury stoppage period, Schneider''s free kick was blocked, and Stam header shot in the penalty area broke the goal to lock the victory.


    Millwall easily defeated Middlesbrough in the first league after taking a vacation.

 Chapter 120： Pass!

    On Monday night, Millwall''s game with Middlesbrough was the last round of the Premier League in this round, so it received the most attention. At the same time, before this day''s game, Fleet Street also knew about Millwall''s recent Itinerary for a few days.


    The Super Bowl is a grand event that will be broadcast live in nearly a hundred countries. Although the United Kingdom has a disdainful attitude towards American football, but after all, this country has a certain sports status in addition to football, so when the Super Bowl live broadcast is unintentional When Zhong Scand reached the Audridge and Millwall players in the box, the British media exclaimed: Are they crazy? !


    The day before the Premier League game, did the Millwall first team still enjoy the Super Bowl leisurely in the United States? !


    Aldridge unintentionally won the championship at the Riverside Stadium, but he inevitably became the focus after the game. First, the team won, and second, Millwall¡¯s recent movements have too much news.


    In an interview in the mixed zone, Aldridge smiled and told reporters that Millwall had traveled for the past five days.


    "Mr. Hall, what makes you in such a tight schedule, and can take the time to lead the team to the United States to watch an unimportant game? I mean, you can go by yourself, but just Don¡¯t consider the fatigue of the team¡¯s players?¡±


    Aldridge replied: "This is a pleasant and relaxing trip. My players and I used a short trip to reduce stress. It worked well, and it was better to let them spend the weekend alone and quietly at home. ."


    "Today you defeated Middlesbrough on the road, did you ask you to give such a reason?"


    "Of course not, even if we lose, I will not change my mind. There is no need to lie about this matter. At this time last year, I gave the team¡¯s main players a leave. They did not play for half a month, and This time this year, I used other methods to achieve the same goal."


    "Middlesbrough lost at home to Millwall, who returned from vacation. What do you think of Robson? Is his tactics wrong in this game? Middlesbrough can take away one at Lions Den Stadium Points, but can¡¯t get points at home, isn¡¯t it a good proof?"


    Aldridge gave a meaningful look to this gentleman with glasses. The problem trap in this kind of interview, he always had to face it and avoid it.


    As a coach, the most taboo is to comment on the ability of peers. You can evaluate any team, but you can¡¯t directly express opinions on the coach¡¯s tactics and abilities. That¡¯s something that ball critics and reporters like to do. There will be a respectful etiquette, unless you decide that you will never die or will never die from now on.


    Even if Aldridge slammed Redknapp and West Ham United, he has never risen to the evaluation of Redknapp''s coaching ability. It is stupid to do that, because from an external perspective, it will only let Become a clown yourself, and your colleagues will treat you as a mad dog.


    "Middlesbrough performed well and they were also popular relegations at the beginning of the season, but Robson gave a strong return through hard work and results. Millwall beat Middlesbrough today because of our control of the game. Stronger and more opportunities are created. This is not Robson''s problem. You know that last year and this year, Millwall invested much more in the team than Middlesbrough."


    After finishing the interview, Aldridge led his team back to London.


    He once again gave the team a day and a half of leave, waiting to return to the training ground on Wednesday afternoon.


    On Tuesday afternoon, Aldridge was called to Leo Youth Training Base by Andrew.


    He came to the edge of the court in sportswear during training. Andrew''s suit and leather shoes stood on the sidelines watching the youth team training. There was also a thin boy standing beside him. Observed from skin color, it was obviously not white.


    "Hey, Andrew."


    Aldridge yelled and saw Andrew looking back with the boy.


    Aldridge was stunned for a while, looking at the black boy''s appearance, and expressed a sense of nonsensical emotion: the big front teeth that can''t be wrapped by the big mouth, so cute!


    "Hey, Ronaldo, say hello to your boss."


    Andrew patted the shoulder of the teenager next to him and said encouragingly.


    The teenager was called "Ronaldo". At least at the beginning of 96, the name Ronaldo had no special meaning for Europe, and it was not as good as the ears, especially the later Ronaldo called "Alien" is now in Eindhoven. Wen is in a difficult situation because of the general''s problem.


    Aldridge came quickly, he already knew who the young man was in front of him.


    That bite is too memorable.


    "Boy, hello."


    Ronaldinho, who is about to turn 16 years old, is not afraid of life and raises his head to say hello to Aldridge.


    Aldridge smiled and reached out to him. The two shook hands like an adult. Aldridge did not like to treat children with a childish attitude. Even if it was Joe Cole, who was 13 last summer, Aldridge made his debut When meeting, they will formally shake hands.


    The players of the youth team on the court saw Aldridge coming to the sidelines and naturally trained more hard. Now they are playing a confrontation game. Najib is commanding on the sidelines and sternly tunes the young players¡¯ position and Cooperate.


    Aldrich looked at the stadium and asked Ronaldinho: "Do you want to play?"


    When Ronaldinho, who had just arrived, couldn''t understand English that was too difficult, Aldridge asked in the simplest English.


    He hated the British Empire of Dog Day at the moment. Why didn''t he go to colonize Brazil? Let Portugal grab the ground and make the official Brazilian language Portuguese.


    Ronaldinho nodded, his eyes eagerly radiating, and obviously he wanted to compete with the children on the court.


    Aldrich shouted at Najib and beckoned him to come over. After Nadji came over, Aldridge pushed Ronaldinho to the front and smiled: "Give him ten minutes, um, hit the striker."


    "Side or center?"


    "Just play, let his teammates pass him and see how he feels."


    Najib nodded, then took Ronaldinho to the coach seat, replaced him with a jersey, and then gave him time to warm up. He would be put on the court ten minutes before the end of the training game.


    Aldridge asked Andrew on the sidelines: "Is everything done for his family?"


    "Well, a girl¡¯s school has been arranged for his sister. Coming out with a mixed education will make her background better, and his family also agrees that there is a store in the community under his mother¡¯s name, which makes them very happy. To be honest, From my non-professional point of view, this kid is an artist on the court, used to watching the fierce and rough football in England, and seeing him play football is like admiring an elegant opera."


    Aldridge smiled resignedly: "Do you understand opera? Still elegant?"


    "Hahaha, yes, I am a vulgar guy. I have been busy recently. I have to fly to Brazil in two days. If there is no accident, Rivaldo will land in Europe in the summer. Are you interested? If I advise him, He will definitely consider Millwall, especially Millwall''s performance this season is so eye-catching."


    "No, you have to introduce him and knock on the FA''s door. There is no place for him in the team."


    "Okay, when Rivaldo landed in Europe in the summer, I can count on the signboard in South American football, and I will be able to build a bigger network there."


    Aldridge nodded, and it didn''t take long for Najib to approach him, and Ronaldinho also replaced the other side of the court.


    Today¡¯s game is all young players under the age of 17 playing together, including Ashley Cole, Villa, Capdevila, Joe Cole, because the physical confrontation is not very intense, like Joe Cole Er and Villa will not be drowned in tough defense on the court, they can always find room to play.


    After Ronaldinho played, Najib frowned.


    Just before playing, he specifically told Ronaldinho, despite the language barrier, but he told him through the tactical board, let him go to the striker, Ronaldinho also nodded his understanding.


    But as soon as he played, Ronaldinho ran directly back to the midfield to get the ball.


    Najib was about to raise his hand and make a trumpet call. Aldridge waved to him with a smile and said, "Just look at it today."


    Najib had no choice but to give up.


    Ronaldinho quickly got the ball from the midfield and backcourt. After taking the ball and turning around, he passed a robbery player from the other side, which made Najib jump. He shouted: "Daniel, how many times have I said Now! Don¡¯t take risks and protect the space behind you!"


    The teenager named Daniel just wanted to give Ronaldinho a dismounted horse, but he didn''t expect that he became a stepping stone for others, and he was stunned when he came back.


    Ronaldinho took the ball and danced on the court like an elf. He knocked the ball left and right, his toes swept the ball over his opponent, the sense of ball combined with the ball made his teammate Joe Cole look dumbfounded, Joe Cole Er Ke is wearing a genius aura, but his sense of ball and foot skills are obviously inferior to Ronaldinho.


    The youth training coaches on the other side of the training field also stood up and stared at Ronaldinho with a dazzling look, as if they had seen a ghost!


    Aldridge and Andrew smiled, and Najib was very excited to see Ronaldinho''s performance, but he kept whispering words in repeated words.


    "Pass, pass, pass, pass! Fuck! Pass!"


    Ronaldinho''s dribbling all the way through the midfield and backcourt broke through three defenders. The last line of defense was even scored by someone else''s ball, and finally pushed the ball directly into the goal.


    After scoring a goal, he turned around to reveal a bite smile, a bit proud, and the other children''s faces were dumbfounded.


    Najib slapped it on the forehead. He shook his head and said: "This child has unparalleled talent, but if he keeps playing like this in the future, it''s really not optimistic."


    Aldridge patted his shoulder and said, "It depends on how you adjust."


    It is quite normal for talented young players to like to stick the ball under their feet. Especially for Brazilian players, it is the responsibility of the coach to teach them how to correct their playing habits so that they can use their talents in the most reasonable way.


    With seven minutes left in the game, Najib called the player who had just lost the ball to the front and rearranged the defensive tasks for them. Then the game continued.


    Just now they all despised Ronaldinho as a strange boy, and after being scored such a shameful goal, they obviously took it seriously, plus Najib¡¯s command, in the next seven minutes, Ronaldinho received his teammates. The passing of the ball, want to continue to pass the goal to complete the break, but often died halfway, basically he has no room to continue after a person, was blocked by defensive players with superior numbers and joint defense tactics.


    After the game, Najib deliberately left Ronaldinho and began to teach him the first lesson, while Aldridge and Andrew left with a smile.


    This is a pleasant day, and it is worthwhile for Audridge to invite Andrew to a seafood dinner.

 Chapter 121： Vigorously miracle

    After entering February, Millwall¡¯s players slowed down from the high-pressure rhythm of the Christmas Express. Although many players on the team occasionally suffered injuries, the young players could not have too much physical load to play, but fortunately, Aldridge There are many people in the hand, and the rotation is not stretched.


    Before the national team called in mid-February, Millwall had two more games, one league and one FA Cup.


    Both games are tough battles.


    The opponent of the league is the neighbor of North London, Tottenham.


    White Hart Lane, perhaps the most poetic stadium name in the Premier League.


    And Tottenham does have a hint of fairy air bones.


    In the past many years, Tottenham is not the strongest team in the Premier League, not even a strong contender for the championship, nor the most high-profile team in the Premier League. However, Tottenham is the most gorgeous and freehand style in the entire English style. Tottenham fans are very proud, they appreciate the best football, and the standard of judging the team is not based on victory, so they lose, they watch Arsenal win the cup, but they still sniff at Arsenal, because Tottenham is proud and proud. This situation did not change completely until another savvy Jewish businessman took charge of Tottenham: Danny Levi. His requirements for managing the team are simple: Lao Tzu wants trophy and money.


    But Tottenham began to sink in recent years. I thought that Tottenham had Leinker and Gascoyne a few years ago, and the black gold coach Venables, who was good at training and offense, was comparable to today''s. Newcastle United is the Premier League game no matter what the outcome, the offense must be played gorgeous.


    Aldridge led his team to White Hart Lane. At the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium early in the season, Tottenham took away a draw on the road. This made Millwall extremely dissatisfied with the whole team. Now the boys have strong confidence. They Without fear of any opponent, it is reasonable to be able to defeat any enemy that is in front of them.


    White Hart Lane''s enthusiasm soared, and the two teams played Mars on the court.


    In this game, Aldridge let Trezeguet sit on the bench to rest, leaving the energy to play against the FA Cup opponents.


    He did not replace it with other strikers, but began to prepare for next season.


    The team set up a 433 formation. Pirlo, who is 17 years old, made his debut today. He was protected by Makelele behind him. Aldrich did not give him many tasks. He stabilized in the backcourt to ensure the pass success rate. You don''t need to attack in front of you. You can honestly stay in the area from the middle circle to your own restricted area, so that you can connect the front and back fields in series.


    So Millwall''s frontcourt offensive group turned into four people, Nedved in the front waist area, trident: Piray, Larson, Schneider.


    It seems to be less than the previous number of frontcourt offenses, but when two full backs assisted, Millwall''s number of offenses invested in the frontcourt became six, and two wingers inserted diagonally into the penalty area to form three forward.


    Tottenham coach Gary Francis frowned on the sidelines, as if he could hear the melody of his heart beating, he watched the team''s unfavorable situation on the court become more and more tense, aware of the crisis, but could not think of a response Law.


    In the first round of the league match, the reason why Tottenham can take away a point at the Lion''s Cave Stadium, the main reason is that they successfully frozen Nedved, today in White Hart Lane, Tottenham''s old skills are reapplied, and the midfielder is firmly The ground restricts Nedved''s space for taking the ball.


    However, the Tottenham players found that they seemed to be staring at the wrong person!


    After missing Klinsmann who went to Bayern and Pabisgu who went to Barcelona, ??Tottenham''s strength plummeted. Sheringham was unable to support the frontline alone. Tottenham''s offense could not run smoothly and was often blocked by Millwall. The first task of their defense is to stare at Nedved, but the ball is dispatched at the foot of Pirlo. Pirlo is like a sleeping rabbit, it feels casual when running, and it is not when fighting. Especially fierce, even if he took the ball to organize the attack, there seemed to be no threat.


    The style of the ball calmly passed the ball to the most reasonable safety zone. When Nedved was stared to death, Pirlo''s direction of the ball was two sideways, and then slowly ran to the middle circle from his own penalty area. Nearby, make a two-on-one with the wing forward, and then he will not step forward.


    Whenever he did these obscure tasks in this way, Millwall¡¯s attack on the wing showed his power. The full-back put the ball in, and continued to cooperate with the wing on the side. After the wing formed a number advantage or The winger who crosses the bottom or passes directly inwards, the offensive wave is higher than the wave.


    Millwall was mainly anti-guest and attacked Tottenham in front of the door.


    After Schneider''s two-footed inward shots, the shots were outrageous. Pires made a good pass to Larson. Larsen, who had scored 17 goals in the league, faced the goalkeeper one-on-one, but the close shot was used by the goalkeeper. The body blocked out.


    Nedved scored into the penalty area to fight for the header and hit the goal post.


    Aldridge watched this offensive on the sidelines, feeling like a roller coaster ups and downs.


    He walked back to the coach''s seat dryly, picked up a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap and poured two sips, then he asked Jenson helplessly: "When you were playing football and coaching in Ajax, yes Haven''t you seen many players like Schneider?"


    Jenson understood the subtext of Aldridge.


    Schneider''s characteristics are very clear, his feet are superior in technology, and his team consciousness is also first-class. Although there is no unique skill in the pass, his success rate in the pass is second to none in the Premier League. Good player, the shooting percentage in sports is not complimentable.


    Just two excellent opportunities just now, almost half-single shots after inward shots, the ball is too far off.


    Frightening the opponent''s goalkeeper into a cold sweat also made Aldridge''s mood fall from the cloud into the abyss.


    Jenson smiled bitterly: "It''s a matter of position. You can''t simply look at this thing with ball skills. There are many such players. Like the very hot Peter Pan, you put him in the middle or go to the restricted area. He may not necessarily Then you can kick the ball to the goal."


    The current Peter Pan is called Ovimas.


    Aldridge just regretted the opportunity he just wasted and made two complaints. As the head coach, he certainly knows that the characteristics of the players must be combined with the position on the court.


    For example, for the wing players, after taking the ball, the field of vision only needs to observe one side and the front, while the midfielder must look at the overall situation before taking the ball. The environment in all directions should be clear.


    Schneider played on the right, he only needed to observe his left and front, but when he cut into the penalty area, it became a trapped situation, the player¡¯s subconscious tension and crisis will suddenly increase, and it will be played. There are good and bad differences.


    Aldrich decided to talk to Schneider after the game.


    As he sat down, Millwall played a climax of offensive attacks.


    Assisted by Thuram, Schneider has cooperated with him before. The Tottenham defense has a touch of regularity, and the full-back is directly taken away by the inward Schneider.


    Thuram is not black and hard, but he is not stupid. Schneider attracted the defensive players for him. He made a slight adjustment and forged a volley at the 45-degree angle outside the penalty area.


    This shot is so **** beautiful!


    The ball is not rotating, and goes straight to the upper right corner of the goal.


    Tottenham goalkeeper Ian Walker has always been highly concentrated. Before being repeatedly bombarded by Millwall, he showed more and more bravery. This time too, he flew out and punched the ball without letting the ball fly. door.


    A cry of relief came from the audience at White Hart Lane.


    Walker''s shot was a bit off, and the ball bounced off the other side of the penalty area.


    The Tottenham defense line retreated near the line of the small penalty area. Pire just hit the falling ball and also took a long shot, and the posture was handsome and explosive.


    boom!


    Aldridge was going crazy on the sidelines.


    Fuck!


    The door post of White Deer Lane was indeed labeled as Tottenham.


    The ball hit the goal post, and there was another cry from the stands.


    It''s not over yet!


    The ball hit the goal post diagonally and bounced towards the small penalty area. The spurs of the spurs were very lively. The defender Cordelwood wanted to turn around to make a clearance, but kicked empty in a hurry, he stumbled after falling to the ground The companion Xerek, the ball bounced twice on the line of the small penalty area, and Larson saw a pin and fell to the ground!


    Walker made another contribution!


    He swooped past and didn''t touch the ball in his hand, because he just swooped with luck, but his thigh blocked Larsson''s must-go ball.


    Tottenham fans in White Hart Lane are choking, and my heart can''t stand it!


    The ball popped out of the penalty area, and another parabola fell, like a rainbow, beautiful and unpredictable.


    Tottenham players are rushing out, but they see someone killing them head-on, swinging their legs in front of the falling ball is a volley.


    Nedved!


    This time, the ball hit the net and hit the top left corner of the goal!


    "One foot, two feet, three feet, four feet! Nedved scored! Andy, Millwall''s fifteenth goal in the first half finally scored a goal! This game is too strange."


    "Yeah, Martin, it''s so weird. We saw Millwall''s offense very smooth and pleasing to the eye. They created a lot of threatening opportunities, but they were wasted by the players. In the end, they used a kind of The unreasonable and brutal way knocked on the door of Tottenham, and this contrast was stunned."


    "In any case, Millwall is leading. This score is not surprising. Combined with the situation on the court, they deserve this goal."


    After Nedved scored a goal, his fists ran to the corner flag, and Millwall''s players rushed over. They played this game so much.


    However, even if they didn''t score, they started to feel anxious. Fortunately, they now scored, and they were naturally rejoicing.


    Aldridge chuckled his forehead on the sidelines.


    He played Tai Chi for a long time, playing with Rou Gang.


    Finally, I found that it is still a miracle!

 Chapter 122： We are neighbors, great

    The stands of the Tottenham fans in White Hart Lane are silent.


    That kind of stormy offensive offensive should have been our football!


    When did it become the football that the gangsters from Millwall could play?


    After Nedv¨§d scored, Brady took off his jersey directly from the stand of the visiting team. Just in early February, he was not afraid of cold, waving his jersey and shouting fans shouting at Nedv?d together name.


    "Crazy Lion God of War, Pavel Nedved! Crazy Lion God of War, Pavel Nedved!"


    The visiting team fans shouted in unison.


    One and a half season''s performance made Nedved conquer all Millwall fans, and even many neutral fans regarded him as an idol.


    Because he best matches the image of players in the hearts of English fans.


    Millwall¡¯s number of fans has started to surge this season. Except for the team¡¯s enjoyable gameplay, their lightning fast advancement and smooth footwork have made their games more and more concerned. Of course, they also often compete with the Premier League on competition days. Live Millwall games are related, and many stars in the team have also become the targets of neutral fans.


    Larsson, Nedved, Schneider, Piret, Trezeguet, the continuous high-gloss performance of the five main players in this offense quickly increased their reputation.


    The only regret is that the 22-year-old Schneider performed so well, but the German national team has not summoned his movements, which also makes Odridge occasionally express his regret to the German Football Association before the FIFA game day. However, the German national team now has an unreliable phenomenon, that is, seniority, even if the young players of the best performance are less than a certain age, it is difficult to be recruited into the national team.


    Tottenham coach Francis had a headache, and he saw where the crux was.


    The main focus of Tottenham''s defense is on Nedved, which weakens their side defense and also gives the humble Italian handsome guy space to manage.


    Before the kick-off, Francis gave his disciples an ear and told them to limit Pirlo''s play.


    In the last seven minutes of the first half, Tottenham compressed the midfield, focusing on restricting Pirlo''s space, making three-year-old Pirlo''s three turnovers. Fortunately, Makelele protected behind him and did not lead to a goal loss.


    At the end of the first half, Millwall walked into the locker room with a one-ball lead.


    Aldridge deliberately chatted with Pirlo in the locker room to give him a psychological adjustment process. He played too easily at the beginning of the first half. No one was watching him. The organized attack after taking the ball was simply It''s like practice, but when Tottenham started to pay attention to him, he didn''t keep up with the rhythm mentally, he was suddenly robbed, and the ball was also a little flustered.


    He was still young, and Aldridge didn''t expect his first show to become a master at once. Slowly, at this stage, the psychological state is far more important than technology.


    Many talented players are devastated by high-intensity games. The big problem is psychological factors, not related to their technical ability.


    At the beginning of the second half, Tottenham thought that he had found a prescription for restraining Millwall''s offensive and forced Pirlo to press.


    Pirlo, the sleeping rabbit, woke up, playing cat and mouse with the Tottenham players. He was a mouse, running back and forth in the midfield and backcourt, and did not stick the ball after receiving the ball. The direction of the ball is more.


    Makelele responded from the side, plus Tottenham reduced the pressure on Nedved''s defense, and Nedved''s activity space has become larger.


    Pirlo kicked the ball and passed straight in front of it, which happened to pass in front of Nedved. Nedved took the ball and strode forward. The four-man attacking group of Millwall''s frontcourt was like a sophisticated machine, and began to reasonably Run quickly.


    In order to limit Pirlo''s defense, the midfielder rushed too hard. As a result, Pirlo passed through the midfield with a straight pass. Francis jumped with anger when he saw this scene.


    Nedved made a direct pass to the rib of the penalty area after pretending to shoot. With this direct pass, they can play with their eyes closed during training.


    In this year and a half, Pires was tuned by Aldridge to play football concisely and reasonably, and he has a habit of being crazy and incisive.


    He is not particularly fast, but just hits the opponent behind him, before the defender turns, he has already run into position, and hits the ball at a small angle.


    The ball glides across an arc, visually it will fly out of the bottom line, Walker flew to the extreme and can''t touch the ball, but the ball is pocketed in front of the goal post and hits the net nest on the far side of the door.


    "It''s wonderful, this shot from Pires is definitely qualified to compete for the best goal of this round of the Premier League, and the opponent may be Nedved''s long shot just now. Andy, Millwall''s tactics today seem to have changed again, you pay attention Is that the 17-year-old Italian guy?"


    "I¡¯ve been following him for an hour. He seems to be an invisible man, but if Millwall¡¯s midfield is without him, you will not see Millwall¡¯s so many pleasing offensive cooperation later, he does not send out direct assists. There is no plug in offensive scoring, but he has one of the most intuitive effect, which is to liberate Nedved. Nedved does not need to start the attack from the center and backcourt and then runs all the way to participate in the attack. Now Nedved''s position Closer to the penalty area, his threat has been obviously improved. The assist just passed through the Tottenham defense. The most important reason is that the Tottenham defense is not ready. Before the blink, the ball is in the backcourt. After the blink, the ball Just under Nedved''s feet, he hadn''t recovered, the ball was passed behind Nedved, and Pire scored.


    "Every football coach knows the truth that football runs faster than people. Before Millwall seemed to subvert this theory, their fast breaks and counterattacks were racing against time, and now they have returned to this theory. , Nedved does not have to run from the back to the front to schedule the offense. He directly appeared in the dangerous area before the last blow, which made Millwall''s offense smoother and faster."


    Millwall led by two goals, and Pires also increased the number to 8 for his Premier League goal account.


    Aldridge stood calmly with a smile on his side, and Francis looked somber.


    His adjustment has the meaning of dismantling the east wall and supplementing the west wall. After weakening the defense against Nedved, Pirlo is indeed not so easy, but Nedved''s threat in the midfield and frontcourt is completely released, and the consequences It is also disastrous.


    Damn, what should I do? !


    In this era, it is not that there is no tactic of large-scale return of attacking players.


    But in English football, the full-backs and forwards have retreated on a large scale and have not yet become mainstream.


    Francis can only stand on the sidelines and let the players take the initiative to return to defense. Even Sheringham must at least participate in the defense against Pirlo near the middle circle.


    As a result, Tottenham''s formation has shrunk across the board.


    For a long time to come, the performers on the field became Makelele.


    When Tottenham attacked, if he wanted to infiltrate in the midfield, he would be accurately predicted by Makelele for the first time to form an intercept.


    This made Martin Taylor marvel at the commentary.


    "Maclele is a key player capable of reshaping the game!"


    In defense, Makelele''s role is to protect the space. In attack, Makelele is to protect the ball. If you only look at the success rate regardless of the number of passes, Makelele has passed the pass in the past year and a half. The team''s highest, more than 84%, because his shot after interception is to ensure that the ball is not lost, which is between one attack and one defense, making Millwall''s entire tactical system very stable.


    Tottenham''s overall formation was compressed a little flat. In the last ten minutes of the game, Francis waved a big hand, allowing the players to release the speed, the offensive rhythm was quicker, and the offensive means was rougher. The central defender went up to suppress the midfielder. A list of arrows is in the restricted area.


    At a few wavelengths, Millwall''s quick counterattack also died in the midfield.


    Three minutes before the end of the game, Millwall counterattacked again. Tottenham''s rushing players have not ran back, but the midfielder has formed a mark against Nedved, and the full-backs are also personally marked against Pire and Schneider. With.


    Pirlo took the ball, looked up, then bowed his head to a long pass.


    The ball jumped lightly, crossed the midfield, and fell close to Tottenham''s big penalty line.


    Coldwood turned back and chased diagonally, but Larsson, who was one step ahead of him, had slanted past.


    Larson was surprised by Pirlo. He had just started a diagonal cut to counter offside. Pirlo''s long diagonal pass arrived as expected.


    A second slow, Larson was offside.


    Almost a second later, Larson probably did not wait for the ball to fall but chased it away.


    On the line of the penalty area, Larson met the ball with a standard chest stop, and Coldelwood sprinted over a sharp brake in front of him and was thrown away by Larson with the stop, changing the direction and driving the ball straight into the penalty area. Larsson faced the goalkeeper Walker. Larsson, who had wasted at least two chances to score before, missed the opportunity again, calmly pushed the goal at the far corner, and then turned back to the backcourt.


    White Hart Lane is silent.


    The Lion Roar fans were almost excited to cross over into the field.


    The crazy lion scored three goals!


    Tottenham, kneel down and lift the chrysanthemum!


    Now the fans of Millwall also have high eyesight. Except for the Hammer Gang and Chelsea, Charlton and Crystal Palace are not worth mentioning. Wimbledon is a madman yesterday. Queens Park Rangers are expected to watch next season. It¡¯s gone. Arsenal and Tottenham are high in North London. We are also neighbors. Our game is also the same city derby.


    Great, let''s step on you!


    Larson ran to Pirlo after scoring a goal, and pointed at him with a smile on his face.


    Pirlo was more excited, and today his debut showed an assist, which doubled his confidence.


    Aldridge applauded on the sidelines and used two substitutions before the game to consume the final time.


    After the game, they shook hands friendly with Francis. In the first half of the season, they chatted a few words, but today Francis'' face was ugly. The two left after shaking hands without saying a word.


    Millwall captured White Hart Lane with three goals!

 Chapter 123： Marketable player

    On the night after the game, Aldridge invited Schneider to dinner at home.


    When Schneider arrived, Aldridge just brought the steak out of the oven, poured the sauce and opened a bottle of red wine, and smiled at Schneider: "Please, my craft is not good, my mother Do better, next time I have the opportunity to invite you to taste her craft."


    Schneider sat down at the table. He was not the first time to meet Aldridge alone. During training, Aldridge occasionally handed the players to the office to talk about the current situation, especially when they first came to the team. , Aldridge will always ask them how well they adapt to life in London.


    "It feels good, boss, I heard that your Chinese food is very good?"


    "Huh? Who said?"


    "I saw it in the newspaper."


    "Oh, it''s okay. I usually like to eat Chinese food except for steak."


    Aldridge knew that the gossip tabloid had learned about the news through an interview with Melanie, and he didn''t care about it either.


    The dinner was very enjoyable. After all, they were similar in appearance and age. Schneider was older than two years old. They could chat like friends, talk about popular music, talk about recently released movies, and the new bookstore was added. What a good book, etc.


    Schneider knew that Aldridge invited him to dinner for sure, not just chatting, but he did not ask, waiting for Aldridge to unravel.


    After dinner, Aldridge went to wash the dishes, and Schneider took the initiative to help. The two men quickly cleaned up the dishes, then Aldridge made a pot of sedative tea, and Schneider sat on the sofa holding the tea cup Very relaxed.


    Aldrich went upstairs and took a tactical book. After going downstairs, he sat on the single sofa and smiled at Schneider: "Bernd, you should be able to guess, then I will talk to you about football. Things, and it''s about your career."


    Schneider nodded, sipped his tea and waited for the following.


    Aldrich continued: "To be honest, Bernd, you are talented and willing to work hard. You are the coach''s favorite player because you are always obedient rather than stubbornly asking why, I hope you understand, today I want to talk to each other openly, not my orders to you."


    "Boss, are you going to sell me?"


    Schneider held Aldridge''s tone too solemn, as if what would hurt him next would be said.


    Aldridge froze for a second, shaking his head: "Of course not. You look at this first."


    Schneider took over the tactical book that Aldridge passed and looked down carefully.


    That is a tactical map, 433 formation, there is a 4231 on the next page, the player''s position is symmetrically and reasonably marked, and the offense and defense running positions are also indicated by lines.


    The dotted line represents defense and the solid line represents offense.


    Schneider''s attention was attracted by his position.


    It is a winger in 433, and can be seen as a wing forward in 4231.


    However, the offensive position is similar between the two. The solid arrows are directed at the front of the enemy penalty area, and the defense must be pulled back to the bottom line until the full-back.


    "This is just a basic illustration of the offensive and defensive position, Bernd, can you understand the ability you need to have in this position in the future?"


    Aldrich''s question made Schneider a little hesitant, he frowned: "Boss, do you want me to be closer to the restricted area?"


    Aldrich said frankly: "In the future Millwall''s tactical system, the winger or the wing forward must have a strong scoring ability, instead of just giving the forward an assist, you can also see the forward''s running position. In order to have the ability to respond, Millwall does not need a pure shooter in the future. The striker must not only be able to break the goal, but also have the ability to assist. The winger should cut the threat after a straight pass. You should understand."


    Schneider couldn''t refute. Someone beside him did a great job. That person was Robert Piley.


    "Boss, if you think I need to improve shooting in the penalty area, I will work hard."


    Schneider put down the tactical book and said solemnly.


    Aldrich shook his head and said: "I''m not going to let you practice sports and shoot into the penalty area. To be honest, no player is truly versatile, and your breakthrough breakthrough and cross-footing on the wing are first-class. , Coupled with excellent team consciousness, you go to practice inserting the penalty area shot? I think that would ruin you instead, do you remember the defender Hans Brigger who was once praised by Germany as a template for future players?"


    After thinking for a long time, Schneider thought that the name was familiar, and after struggling to remember it, he said, "Oh, the main team of the former West Germany national team."


    Aldrich said in a calm voice: "He was born in the decathlon, but what about his achievements? In the 82 World Cup and the 86 World Cup in 1986, he played in a game where West Germany lost at least six goals. The responsibility of the four balls. I have said many times that the characteristics of future players will be diversified, but it is not a balanced and comprehensive development. The load of players is limited. You have to combine your position to develop the most prominent and effective characteristics. My colleagues in the coaching staff and I have had a special meeting to discuss your development prospects. It is not a secret. We don¡¯t think you will develop into a player who meets our future needs as a winger."


    Schneider''s face was pale when he heard the last sentence, and he only felt that it was turning around, as if the end of the world was about to be reached.


    Aldridge saw his expression and immediately said: "Listen to me, Bernd, I really appreciate and trust you, you are a model player in the team, I want to keep you until you retire and use the club The management contract binds your players, but I must respect you and imagine for you. If you are not willing to cooperate with the team¡¯s future tactical system, then I can only recommend you to the club that best suits your characteristics. Allows you to achieve the best achievement in your career, instead of changing from the main force to a substitute for tactical reasons in the team."


    Schneider said excitedly: "Boss, you tell me, what do you want me to do? No matter what, I will cooperate!"


    Aldridge pointed to the tactical book and said: "Look at the offensive and defensive requirements of the right back."


    Schneider quickly picked up the tactical book. It looked carefully and fixed his sight on the right back position.


    Needless to say, the dashed line defense, the full-back is originally a member of the last line of the back line, and the solid line representing the offense is directed from the bottom line to the opponent''s bottom line.


    Schneider understood something, and he looked up and asked, "Boss, do you want me to play as a full-back?"


    Aldridge nodded solemnly and said sincerely: "The entire coaching staff has rated your defensive attitude as full marks, and the enthusiasm for back defense. Among the frontcourt players, you and Pavel are the best and can run back from the wingback to the penalty area. Yes, I can always see you, but may not often see Robert, Bernd, this season, our tactics have changed, you should have a deep understanding, last season, our full-backs did not assist, only in Participating in the second half of the game, but this season, the full-back assists have become an important part of the tactics. This is why when Lilian assists up, you have to diagonally insert the penalty area to complete the response or score, but your shortcomings are exposed. ."


    Schneider scratched his head, Aldridge was right.


    Millwall''s full-back assists this season, the left side is always better than the right side. The reason is very simple. Neil or Zambrotta assists from the left side. Pire is good at internal, and Shi Ned was on the right, but he and Thuram couldn''t get the sharp effect on the left.


    "Bernd, I respect you, so, in my future plans, if you want, you will be the main force of the right back, half of the defense depends on ability, half depends on consciousness, team awareness is particularly critical, as long as you strengthen the defense Training, and then combine your strengths and strengths, in the back position of the back, there is a lot of space in front of you, very suitable for you to insert assists, break or pass the ball on the side, this is what you are best at now And you also have the physical ability to go straight up and down, not to be concealed. In the future football, good forwards can be bought with money, but good full-backs have no market value."


    Aldrich''s words are serious.


    Schneider asked wondering, "What about Lilian? Do I go to the left?"


    Thuram is Millwall''s main full-back, and the thunder can''t move.


    Aldrich heard it and sighed a long time, he was really honest with Schneider.


    "Lilian, Millwall can''t keep him, don''t you think he is quiet in the locker room, sometimes feel that he has a lot of thoughts but he doesn''t want to share with us, like a person outside the team? His professional qualities are Top class, but for the past year and a half, I have always expected him to show some signs to give me confidence, making me think that Millwall can rely on him in the future, but he has no sense of belonging here, I believe, you can also see ."


    Schneider''s expression was silent and silent.


    As teammates, it was difficult for them to get together with Thuram, and after the East London Derby, they clearly defeated West Ham United on the road, but Thuram just packed his luggage calmly and said nothing to the team. Go back on the bus.


    Everyone knows he is angry.


    Because of the game at Upton Park Stadium, fans in the stands insulted black players on the court with racist words and deeds.


    Makelele was very angry. After the game, Aldridge also condemned the actions of the opposing fans for the team. This was written in the complaint against West Ham United. However, the measures taken by the FA are to calm down. What else can Derich do?


    This kind of thing is commonplace in this era. Especially black players who visit the Elland Road Stadium will be humiliated by the fans of Leeds United.


    Even Manchester United players will suffer this treatment, not to mention Millwall?


    Moreover, looking at Europe, where is completely clean? Where are the fans completely waiting for people to distinguish between black and white?


    No.


    And this is not a problem of racial discrimination at all!


    Just because of the color of the jersey, West Ham United hated Millwall, so this method was used.


    The FA has historically punished racist players or fans, but is it really a racist stance? Not at all, is it like racial discrimination between Suarez and Evra a decade later? If yes, Suarez is a racist, can he live with his black teammates in Liverpool?


    This kind of thing is just to use racial discrimination as a means to attack. In the bones, the skin color is used to cover up the hatred of the jersey color!


    Makelele expressed anger, which is a good sign.


    Thuram¡¯s calmness made Audridge feel lost, because Thuram seemed to have a transparent barrier with Millwall.


    He came here to work, to do his best work, which is enough, other, he may not mind, or may not expect, because, he knows that this is not his destination.


    "The club¡¯s contract with Lilian is still four and a half years old, but in my opinion, we can only keep him for two and a half years at most. Bernd, I said, I respect you if you think your future is not in Mill Wall, I don¡¯t want to change my current position on the court. I won¡¯t have any negative views on you, and I¡¯ll help you find a club that suits you best so that you can play your characteristics in your most ideal position. , And I¡¯m sure that you can do well, and the main position is not a problem."


    Aldrich frankly told Schneider.


    Players must serve the club¡¯s tactical system. If not, Aldridge will not accommodate the players, but there is no need to leave the players hard. In addition to being generals and apprentices, they are also friends in life. For the future of each other, let The opponent is happy to play football. Aldrich will fulfill his promise and find him the best club for him, even if the transfer fee is lower.


    Schneider smiled and stood up and smiled at Aldridge: "Boss, thank you for your hospitality. See you at the training field tomorrow. It seems that I should pay attention to Lilian and Claude."


    Aldridge closed his eyes to show a smile, and got up.


    Schneider''s words have already shown his determination. Thuram is now a full-back on the team. Makelele was also a full-back. The defensive skills of both are obvious to all.


    Schneider was sent off to close the door, and Aldridge put away the tactical book on the coffee table, and couldn''t help smiling until his face was bathed in the bathroom.


    He had a firm decision in his heart.


    As long as Schneider did not want to leave, Millwall would never betray him!


    Can this kind of player be bought with money? !

 Chapter 124： Mentoring

    During the preparation for the FA Cup, Schneider was clearly overworked. He sprained himself while practicing. This made Aldridge not know what to say about him. He could only calm him in the medical room and tell him not to rush Success, take your time.


    Many of his team of players are still young, and there is room for the technical characteristics to be fully mature and flexible. Unlike many players who are over 25 years old, no obvious technical characteristics can be achieved by any training.


    The game was over the weekend, and Audric prepared Vieira into the starting lineup to participate in the joint training.


    At the weekend, the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium continued its full attendance, and Millwall was so vigorous that fans naturally enjoyed it.


    The team that came to the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium as a guest was Blackburn. The defending Premier League champion has had a significant decline this season. The Champions League group stage is out of the bottom. The league is also hopelessly defending. The important factor affecting their performance is the away game. Last season they and Manchester United is the best team on the road, but the goal difference is not as good as Manchester United, and this season, Blackburn is hard to win on the road. If it is not relying on the home power, they may not even be able to maintain the upper position of the standings.


    In the Premier League this season, the two rounds of confrontation between the two teams have ended and are two draws.


    But Aldridge did not send the main force in these two games. Today in the cup, he put out the strongest lineup he can come up with.


    The starting lineup followed last week''s 433, Vieira replaced Pirlo''s position, also to strengthen the hardness of the midfielder, after all, Blackburn started offense, the SAS combination on the front line is still not to be underestimated.


    Neil replaced Zambrotta and returned to the starting lineup. Treze topped the front line, with Pires the left and Larsson the right.


    Aldridge talked to Larson last year, hoping he can play the role of a winger in the future, but it is definitely not a pure winger, but a winger who can assist and score. Larson readily agreed that he is fast and has excellent technology. , The shot from the side of the penalty area inserted into the penalty area feels old, plus he often plays as a winger in the Swedish national team, there is no problem for him.


    To change the player''s position on the field, Aldridge doesn''t think this is a big problem, because the formation itself is neutral, and the technique and tactics are a combination of formation and style.


    If he asked Larson to work as a classical winger, Larson would definitely not be happy, because he has a strong desire to score, and Aldridge''s requirement for a winger is that he can score in the first place. After all, from the point of view of formation, Millwall changed from a double forward to a single forward, and the power fell, but this is why he made the attack point hidden.


    Before the game, Aldridge chatted with Blackburn coach Halford. The coach had a lot of pressure on his shoulders. After all, it was a championship team that took over Dalglish, but neither the European nor the league performance. It¡¯s obvious that Black¡¯s attendance has dropped significantly this season. It¡¯s understandable that the small town where Blackburn is located has a population of 100,000. The team¡¯s poor performance directly affects the attendance. Where is it like London? In the metropolis, fans often find it difficult to get a ticket to watch the game, and you can see the figure of the oxen party outside the stadium on the game day.


    Halford made a bit of fun, teasing Aldridge to compete for the league title, Aldridge smiled and said nothing. The league title is largely not a matter of indisputability. Confidence is stronger, if you win, the champion is yours.


    Millwall never gave up any game. Aldridge sent a young lineup to play. Regardless of the result of each game, he felt rewarded, not because of changes in the standings.


    The game began, Aldridge stood on the sidelines with arms around his chest to watch the game.


    Blackburn and Millwall had a draw in both matches. They came to the Lion''s Cave Stadium today, playing a decisive mind. After the opening, they attacked fiercely.


    But in the midfield stranglers of Makelele and Vieira, the Blackburn offensive was difficult to advance to the vicinity of the penalty area. Shearer made a hard chance from the gap between the people and barely kicked the shot. beam.


    The two teams fought fiercely in the midfield from the beginning. The players of both sides entered the game very quickly, and they both showed a high level of competition.


    However, Aldridge has confidence in his team. He feels that his tactical philosophy is leading, and the strength of the players is also there. There is no reason not to take advantage.


    It''s just that after the opening, everyone needs a tentative stage, and when they adapt to the rhythm, they will play more freely.


    Vieira and Makelele are undoubtedly the top defensive team, and the World Cup finals ten years later are also the two men escorting behind Zidane.


    Blackburn is getting more and more aggressive, and more and more people are investing in the offensive, and there is more and more room in the backcourt.


    Southgate broke the ball at Sutton''s foot, and passed Vieira on the right front. After taking the ball, Vieira turned and passed the ball straight to the right front. Thuram inserted the edge and Millwall''s attack Swept away like a wind again.


    Thuram played with Nedved, who ran over to pass Wilcox, Thuram took the ball and continued to rush forward, Larson retreated on the right side and did again with Thuram Two through one penetrated the defense of Soskos.


    Larsson rushed into the penalty area. Thuram took the ball to cross the middle of the bottom. Larsson did not shoot after receiving the ball in the penalty area. Instead, he passed a reverse triangle to the top of the penalty area. Trezeguet took all the defensive players. Entering the restricted area creates a shooting space for Nedved who is plugged in later.


    At the top of the penalty area, Nedved made a swinging shot to catch the ball, which caused the defensive players to press up again, intending to block with their bodies.


    But Nedv¨§d made a one-foot pass and passed the ball in front of the left.


    Pires diagonally inserted into the penalty area. After a successful anti-offside, a single-shot was directly formed. Blackburn goalkeeper Flores rushed away. Pire did not choose to shoot. He knocked the ball in front of the goal and was broken off the entire line of defense. Trezeguet easily pushed an empty goal to score.


    "A wonderful goal that can''t be described in words! Millwall is interpreting textbook-like team football in action! When fans relish how wonderful Newcastle United''s game is, they should come and see Millwall''s game, The smooth coordination is perfect. Every player is playing an important role. There is no doubt that Millwall is getting stronger. Their opponents should start to study how to prevent Millwall, because you don¡¯t know what their offense will be in the next second. Wherever he hits, it seems that every point is quite threatening. Thuram, as a full-back, assisted the opponents to the bottom line of the other half. The ball quickly moved from the right to the left. Blackburn¡¯s back line was dizzy and unable to resist."


    Aldrich cheered his arms and turned to the stands to encourage the fans to cheer a little louder.


    This goal is not only wonderful, but also a heavy blow to the morale of the visiting team.


    Halford called his disciples on the sidelines and told them that the back defense was deeper. The midfielder had to compress the area of ??30 meters in front of the door and hit the side where the opponent''s full-back assist was needed in the counterattack.


    However, the Blackburn players seemed unwilling to listen to him.


    They are champions. If Dalglish is here, they may still listen, but Halford is obviously not as prestigious as the champion.


    Black was going to counterattack strong. They played that set of side-crossing, midfield forward tactical style, but the one-to-one breakthrough effect was not ideal. Both Neil and Thuram were aggressive in defense. The extremely strong player did not give the opponent any chance of a successful breakthrough.


    And Millwall¡¯s on-site counter-attack after a successful defense is even more fatal, because they invested more troops, the full-backs assisted, and Vieira stepped forward to respond, so just watching live TV footage, you will find a weird phenomenon.


    I always think Blackburn has fewer players than Millwall.


    They play less when they attack, and they play more when they defend.


    That''s where the excellent physical strength of Millwall players plays a role, not only being able to retreat when defending, but also fast when attacking.


    While preparing for a week''s competition, Millwall completely defeated Blackburn in the first half.


    Trezeguet took the ball on his back and passed the ball diagonally to the rear. Larsson, who succeeded in the offside, pushed forward easily and broke the goal. Before the end of the first half, Nedvide took Piret and passed the goal after the goal. He was unexpected. The ground appeared there and the header broke.


    The three goals in the first half led the Blackburn players to lose their heads and felt today''s game was a nightmare.


    Halford taught his disciples when entering the player''s tunnel, thinking that if the player listens to him, he will never lose so badly in the first half.


    As a result, Blackburn staged an amazing mentoring apprenticeship in the player tunnel at the Lion''s Cave Stadium.


    Defender Hengdeli actually spat at Halford and despised the other''s ability to coach.


    In the end, the pair of masters and disciples fought.


    The situation was getting worse. Aldridge hurriedly called the staff to pull them away. Black broke into a mess in the team. Aldrich did not know what to do next.


    Don¡¯t let Hengdeli enter the locker room?


    But they still have to play in the second half.


    Fortunately, Hendry solved the problem himself. He went straight into the locker room to pick up his luggage, and left the stadium without looking back.


    After the fun, Aldridge walked back to the locker room and found his players gathered to talk about the conflict in the player''s channel.


    Aldridge didn''t plan to say anything by leaning on the door. Black''s heart was broken, and it was difficult for Halford. The first goal was conceded in the first half. Halford yelled anxiously on the sidelines. Let the players defend, defend, defend...


    Aldridge suddenly felt that he should be lucky. He wanted to apply for coaching two years ago. If so, he might not have the authority now.


    The benefits of being both the boss and the head coach are obvious, holding the player''s income check in one hand and the professional lifeline of the player in the other.


    Who dares to rebel against him, then the people who leave must be the players, but he will not have much sense of crisis.


    Only in this way can all energy be put on the court.


    In the second half Aldridge directly replaced the three main players.


    Makelele, Stam, Larson, down.


    Barak, Materazzi, Shevchenko, come on.


    The main force went to rest, the formation was slightly adjusted, and Aldridge was sitting on the coach seat to watch the rest of the game.


    When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the score was fixed at 4:0.


    Blackburn was halted by Halford in the midfield and learned a lesson. They played very conservatively in the second half. Millwall scored twice with Trezeguet''s goal and finally defeated his opponent by four goals. He advanced to the next round of the FA Cup. .

 Chapter 125： Aldrich Cyclone

    When the FIFA match day came, the team''s main force went more than half, and Aldridge''s work was also idle.


    In addition to starting to study Aston Villa, the opponent of the League Cup finals at the end of the month, he spends more time wandering around the youth team, which has become his habit, always paying attention to the growth of the players.


    What is more gratifying for him is that Fanny, who has been in the reserve team for a long time, has learned in the last three months. The reserve team is in a hot state, especially in the restricted area. The sense of smell is becoming more and more sensitive, unlike when he just arrived at the team. At that time, when he was hit by an opponent''s defender in the penalty area and couldn''t find the north, he began to calmly search for space. He had his own way of thinking about the trajectory of the ball and achieved certain results.


    Fannie, who has scored nine goals in the past six games in the reserve league, is still working hard. He hopes that one day the reserve coach Morex will say to him: Rud, starting today, the reserve team does not need you anymore, you want Go to train with the first team''s main players.


    Aldrich looked at his efforts and results. After a day of training, Aldridge specially asked him to have a long talk. After the talk, Fanny left with excitement.


    Aldridge gave him a commitment, he continued to train hard, and to consciously improve the forward response ability, then in the next few months, Aldridge will give him some game time.


    Instead, another striker came to the team for a year and a half, and has always been like an elm pimple.


    Luca Tony.


    Because Tony had just turned 18 at the start of the season, he could participate in the Youth League, but he also scored frequently in the Youth League, but he always gave people a way of scoring in a bullying way, so he was used to it. Fighting alone, taking the ball, eating the opponent with his body, and gradually began to fail to play teammates.


    In fact, Aldridge has certain psychological expectations for Tony, because a strong center like Tony has the physical qualities to hold the ball on the front line, can well cover his teammates and plug in the offense, maybe his speed of counterattack is hard Injury, in the pursuit of speed, Tony will not meet his heart, but the frontal attack and tough battle, the threat of Tony''s forward in the penalty area will not be inferior to the king of the small penalty area.


    Fortunately, Najib took over the youth team a few months ago and began to transform Tony so that he could integrate into the tactical system.


    Two days before and after the national team match day, Aldridge took a holiday to the team.


    But he still has something to do, he wants to "serve the sentence".


    The court sentenced him to volunteer for 40 hours, but he has not done it for an hour.


    Just two days, eight hours a day and three hours a day, before the end of February.


    Early in the morning, Aldrich was ready to change his clothes after washing, he opened the closet, swept through the Armani brand clothing, and picked a sportswear without a trademark or when to buy it. He put on his pants And shoes, and then came downstairs with a sportswear jacket, and Andrew came to the door in a while, and sent Adrich to buy the ink pen he bought.


    Andrew smiled again and again with his hands in his pockets, watching Aldridge write striking words on the back of his sportswear jacket.


    "Everyone is responsible for protecting the environment."


    After the ink had dried, Aldridge put on his coat and turned to ask: "How?"


    "Alright, environmental fighter."


    Aldridge chuckled and turned away, saying, "I''m going to be a cleaner, bye."


    Andrew didn''t eat breakfast and went straight into the kitchen to find his own food.


    Aldrich left home. He is also a celebrity anyway. In London, celebrities who go shopping on the street will be photographed secretly, not to mention volunteering. How many reporters on Fleet Street have long been waiting impatiently. I want to see the scene where Aldridge goes to "serving a sentence". Of course, everything is still for the news.


    While walking out of the door of the community, Aldridge accidentally saw three friends.


    With a ponytail, Yi Wen smiled and stood in front of a small jeep. Brady and Fred sat on the front hood from left to right. The three were dressed the same, their lower body jeans, and the upper body was wearing a special T T-shirt with blue male lion printed on the front chest and the following line: the best lion!


    Bang, Fred jumped out of the car, then pulled the car door to get some tools from inside, then closed the door heavily.


    Aldridge couldn''t help crying: "What are you doing here?"


    "Famous with you."


    Today, Yiwen, who looks fresh and beautiful, said of course.


    Brady and Fred both carried brooms on their shoulders, and Yiwen also took a garbage bag in his hand, and handed a clip to pick up the garbage to Aldridge.


    Seeing them look like they would come together to make up the noise, Aldridge had no reason to blow them away.


    In fact, everyone knows that Aldridge¡¯s volunteer work is just a show, and the form is more than the effect.


    However, Aldridge did not think it was a bad thing that he was sentenced to volunteering by the court, and he did not feel humiliated.


    To change the way of thinking and do this well, but to be blessed by misfortune.


    As the owner and head coach of Millwall, he has the Millwall label on him, and his public image is tied to the club.


    Therefore, in addition to being cautious, his words and deeds must also play a positive role in the club.


    He is a star, an undisputed star.


    Because of his personality, his way of commanding on the court, the face of the media interviews, and the amazing celebrations from time to time, the most important thing is that Millwall has a remarkable record.


    He has a personal aura invisibly. The critics have compared him with Redknapp, and Audridge wins because Redknapp on the sidelines makes it impossible to see that he has a manager''s aura. It is not difficult to understand that the momentum of the Millwall team is always overwhelming the opponent.


    As a public figure, Aldridge wants to take this opportunity to volunteer to improve Millwall''s image.


    Therefore, he wrote such environmental protection slogans on the back of his jacket.


    Show?


    It''s a show.


    But if the audience directly rejects Aldridge''s approach, it can only show his own narrowness.


    When Bailey reached the top of the World Cup in the peak period, he did not thank the motherland or his family teammates, but said that he should let the world not forget the suffering children.


    Can you say that Bailey is a show?


    It may be a show, but this show is what the general public needs and recognizes. It will respond positively, and it will make Bailey a **** from a person.


    Maradona yelled Argentina''s name without forgetting his emotions. Was this emotional catharsis at the peak a show? Who dares to say yes? This patriotic sentiment is what the general public accepts from the heart.


    Michael Jackson stood among the children and sang "Healtheworld" to dump the world.


    Even if he was around Aldridge, he could clearly feel the same example. Princess Diana, who had been separated from the crown prince for more than three years, still has a high reputation among the people, and the public loves this princess who loves charity.


    After all, this is a kind of publicity, the promotion of universal values.


    Everyone knows the right things, but celebrities can be promoted as a stand at the right time, which will cause repercussions, people''s instinctive recognition and support, and even support.


    Millwall Club is notorious in English football, but it is only in the field of football, but the influence of a top club is by no means limited to football.


    Aldridge has to work tirelessly to increase Millwall''s influence, of course, starting with himself.


    With the clip for picking up trash in his hand, Aldridge reached into the pocket with his other hand and pulled out the phone to call the supervisor appointed by the court.


    After a while, a black man in his early thirties came to the door of the community in a shirt and trousers riding a motorcycle.


    He parked the car, then walked towards Aldridge and shook hands actively: "Mr. Hall, I am Nordman. Do you decide to perform unpaid voluntary work today?"


    Aldridge looked at the watch and said: "Eight hours today and eight hours tomorrow. Please record the time. By the way, is there any workload requirement?"


    Nordman smiled and shook his head: "This is just a symbolic punishment, as long as the work time is completed, there is no indicator of the workload."


    Aldrich raised his eyebrows to express his understanding, and then took a deep breath, looked up at the bright sunshine today, and said, "Then start now."


    After all, Aldridge started to walk along the street and found that there was trash on the street, he would bend down to pick it up with a clip, and put it in the trash bag that Yi Wen was holding beside him. The trash, Brady and Fred will assist by the side.


    I don¡¯t know when to start. Aldridge¡¯s pedestrian was followed. Not far behind, several cars on the road slowly followed them. People who got out of the window and roof of the car carried the camera to record this all the way. all.


    Aldrich didn''t care, he talked and laughed with the three companions, and became a happy cleaner.


    They became the focus of the street, because it was in East London, and many pedestrians on the street would first look surprised when they saw Audridge, and then greeted them actively and friendly.


    At ten o''clock in the morning, Aldridge gathered a lot of young people behind them. They didn''t look like an adult. When they first saw Aldridge, they all came up to ask for a signature or a photo. Aldridge smiled and refused, saying noon They can meet their requirements during the rest, so these young teenagers followed Aldridge behind them, and some people joined the ranks of picking up trash.


    Aldridge was like a whirlwind, where the streets passed cleaned the block, and there was another burst of laughter.


    "Hey, Aldridge, come to work in my shop, I''ll give you five pounds an hour!"


    The old man with a white beard selling hamburgers raised his thumbs to Aldridge from a distance, causing all the passers-by to smile.


    Aldridge responded humorously: "Okay, keep the job with me, I will lose my job one day, and I will come to you first!"


    "Then forget it! I don''t want to be besieged by our fanatics!"


    "Hahaha..."


    More and more people gather around Aldridge, there are men and women, but most of them are young people, and some are parents with children. Their children have an admiration for Aldridge and ride on the neck of their father. The kid on the other side was glistening with excitement, but his father was squeezed in the crowd.


    There were also more media news coming, they kept taking pictures, shooting with the camera all the way, even a TV station was also reporting this news on the roadside.


    Aldrich refused all the reporters who came forward to interview. He also ran to an interview car and used a clip to pick up the cigarette butts that the driver had just dropped on the ground, and then did not speak to him. The crowd behind him sent out to the driver involuntarily. Boo!


    Seeing the driver hide in shame, everyone laughed again.

 Chapter 126： Give others courage

    At noon on that day, Aldridge¡¯s lunch came relatively late and was very simple, but the atmosphere was very lively.


    Outside Pepis Park, on the Thames, facing the breeze, Aldridge invited everyone present to have lunch, coffee and burgers.


    He leaned against the riverside fence and chewed the hamburger to enjoy the taste: "I like beef cheeseburger the most, even if I become a big fat man."


    "Oh no, Aldrich, if you become a big fat man, you''re done, and the poster posted in my bedroom will become a mascot photo."


    A beautiful young girl in the crowd smiled shyly at Aldridge.


    Many girls nodded in agreement with a smile.


    Aldrich signed them here, took a group photo, and chatted like friends.


    As young people, they are curious about what Aldridge''s life will be like.


    I usually listen to music, play games or watch movies, what kind of books will be placed on the bookshelf at home, and some gossip will ask him about the progress of his relationship with Melanie.


    In addition to privacy, Aldridge speaks everything. This is different from the question and answer in the interview, but it is a communication between peers. They express their views and discuss each other with a stand.


    When talking about movies, basically young people like the 007 series "Golden Eyes" released last year, but Aldridge said that he is not too interested in the 007 handsome heroism movie. He prefers the "Seven Deadly Sins" released six months ago. ".


    Everyone expressed their opinions and talked very speculatively, Aldridge was like their friend.


    Near the park, parents took their children to play here. I don¡¯t know when a ball rolled among them. Audric looked up and saw that there were parents coming with a five- or six-year-old boy.


    Suddenly someone in the crowd took the lead to make Aldridge show some skills.


    Aldridge catches the duck on the rack, gently picks up the ball with his toes, and then flips the ball back and forth with his left and right feet.


    WOW!


    Everyone knows that he is a good head coach, but no one has seen him play football. This made the people around him scream. They smiled and made Aldridge a little more difficult.


    Aldridge touches football every day at work. There is still some sense of the ball, but technical skills make it difficult for a strong man.


    But he tried to challenge it. He picked up the ball with his right foot and tried to wrap his right leg around the ball before the ball fell. As a result, he played badly.


    Boom, the ball was touched by him and flew directly to Brady''s face.


    "my face!"


    Brady rubbed his red nose and caused laughter around him.


    Aldridge was not ashamed at all, but played football with the children in the crowd with great interest.


    These little children know Aldridge. They are very excited today. The children''s crisp silver bell-like laughter is endless, and the parents of the children are also very happy watching it.


    Aldridge specially signed several children wearing Millwall jerseys. After signing, his corner was dragged by two small hands. Aldrich looked back and found that it was a pair of braids. The twin sisters, six or seven years old, look pretty cute.


    "Aldrich, can I kiss you?"


    The clear eyes of the two sisters were filled with joy, and obviously they were also fans of Aldridge.


    There was a burst of laughter in the surrounding crowd, and Aldridge looked at the crowd with incredible eyes, then turned back and squatted in front of the two sisters, smiling and asked, "Do you like Millwall?"


    "Like! Dad goes to watch the ball every week, and my mom accompanies us to watch live TV at home."


    "Yeah, Dad said he will take us to the stadium to watch the ball when we grow up. He said that the stadium is a little crowded. Mom said that Dad is a madman. If he is happy, he might lose us on the stadium."


    The naive childish words of the two sisters made Aldridge and everyone around him smile.


    Aldridge continued to ask, "Who do you like best about Millwall''s team?"


    The two sisters did not hesitate and agreed in a single voice: "Ole."


    Baby face.


    Aldridge reluctantly spread his hands: "But he is now back in Norway to participate in the game."


    His clothes were caught again, and the two sisters seemed to be afraid of Aldridge running away. One of them said: "You asked the team, my sister and I like you the most, and then Ole!"


    Aldridge was a little embarrassed by them, so he closed his eyes and smiled, "Well, let you kiss your face."


    Boo, boo.


    Two little girls kissed on the left and right cheeks at the same time, and a camera shutter sounded.


    Aldrich opened his eyes and found that several reporters photographed the scene in front of them. One of the reporters raised his hand and proposed: "Mr. Hall, why not take a picture with them?"


    Today, no more than ten years later, taking a mobile phone is equivalent to taking a camera. Few of these people took the camera, so Aldridge took a photo with everyone.


    There was still some time before starting work in the afternoon. Aldridge was going to rest. Almost thirty people in their line were standing on the walkway by the Thames. Suddenly, there was a burst of music.


    Fred likes to carry the Walkman with him, put some music tapes, and he also carries a mini speaker, which is just released at this time.


    Hearing the melody of the music, these young people sang together involuntarily.


    This song has always been very popular.


    MJ''s "Blackorwhite".


    Aldridge occasionally meets with friends and sings this song the most, especially in places like East London where the most immigrants are. This song is very popular.


    Probably because Fred was a black immigrant, he especially loved this song and always listened to it in his ears.


    Along with the melody, their enthusiasm ignited again and sang together.


    "I said if you want to be my baby, it doesn''t matter if you are black or white. I say if you want to be my brother, it doesn''t matter if you are black or white..."


    Like a carnival, they jump and jump, repeating the climax of the song.


    When their vital capacity reached the limit, the singing gradually stopped, and then everyone seemed to have completed a feat, laughing and high-fiving each other to celebrate.


    Aldridge looked at his watch. It was time to work in the afternoon. He shouted to Nordman outside the crowd: "Sir, I am now working."


    Nordman shook his head with a smile: "No, you should go to work now, the surrounding neighborhoods have been cleaned in the morning."


    Aldridge chuckled, took a deep breath and said, "Well, then, it''s time to do some exercise."


    After he finished speaking, he started to jog with his legs open, and a group of people ran after him.


    Throughout the afternoon, centered on Aldridge, they became a special landscape in East London.


    Many media have come to interview records, and reporters are thinking about how to title this news.


    If they come to consult Aldridge, Aldridge will tell them directly: pass on positive energy.


    When the sunset came, Aldridge, who picked up the afternoon garbage, announced after the supervisor, Norman, that the work was over for eight hours today.


    The young man with Aldridge burst into cheers, Aldridge just smiled and didn¡¯t do much for his accomplishments. This is what he deserves, but this day can purify the environment and bring others happiness, he feels very fulfilling today And it makes sense.


    As he was about to leave, a young woman came to Aldridge and asked with a sad face: "Mr. Hall, can I ask you to do me a favor?"


    Aldrich looked at the crowd around him and reached out to signal the young woman to take the steps to speak. The other party''s request was necessarily a private matter, and no one in the family could speak directly.


    Arriving in a secluded place, Aldridge calmly listened to the young woman''s request.


    It turned out that her eight-year-old son fell and was injured and fractured on a bicycle. He will have a minor operation tomorrow, but the little boy is terrified of death. The mother hopes Aldridge can encourage him because this little boy is Millwall Fans most admire Aldridge who stands on the sidelines without fear of everything like a general.


    Aldrich agreed without thinking.


    After waving his hands to say goodbye to others, Aldridge and the three partners came to her home, an ordinary small apartment under the guidance of the young woman.


    When Aldridge pushed the door into the child''s bedroom, the listless little guy lying on the bed instantly petrified, and for a long time he opened his mouth and stuttered and asked: "You, you, you are, Aldridge, yes, yes ?"


    Aldrich nodded and came to the bed to sit down. He saw the little boy''s arm wrapped in gauze hanging from his chest. He was indeed injured.


    The little boy was excited, and he continued stuttering about his love for Millwall.


    Aldrich can see that in the little boy¡¯s bedroom, there is a poster of Millwall¡¯s family portrait on the bedside wall, as well as pictures of many players, Nedved, Larsen, Trezeguet , Makelele, etc. are all photographs of the heroic court at a certain moment.


    "Hey, you have an operation tomorrow, right?"


    The little boy nodded when he heard the face pale.


    Aldridge lowered his head, pointed his forehead closer to his hair, and said, "Do you see any scars here?"


    The little boy looked carefully, and sure enough he saw a small scar near the hair root and replied: "Yes, how did it come? Is it a birthmark?"


    "No, I fell when I was ten years old, and I was going to have an operation at that time. I was also scared, and I was crying. You are braver than me, at least you haven''t cried yet."


    Aldridge''s words left the little boy blank for a long time.


    However, he said anxiously: "What if the anesthesia does not work tomorrow? It will definitely hurt."


    "Are you a man?"


    "of course!"


    "Do you love your mother?"


    "Of course love! The world''s favorite!"


    "Okay, listen to me carefully. Before I went to the surgery, I was terrified, but I saw my mother shed tears to worry about me. So, I told myself that I couldn¡¯t let her worry about me because I have grown up. The real man is not how strong he is, but can give others courage and confidence. If you are really a man, do you know what to do?"


    The little boy stared blankly at Aldridge. In the eyes encouraged by the other party, the little boy''s expression also became serious. He suddenly jumped out of bed and ran out of the room.


    Aldridge heard a firm word from the boy in the living room.


    "Mom, I''m not scared at all. It''s just a minor operation. I''m gone after a sleep. You don''t have to worry about it. What''s that, trivial."


    Aldridge raised his mouth and walked out of the room, Yiwen stood outside the door, raised his thumbs to him, then whispered, "You were so scared?"


    "I just fell into a coma, and when I woke up, the surgery was done."


    Aldridge winked and smiled at her with a left eye.


    Yi Wen laughed dumbly.


    The little boy¡¯s mother knew that Aldridge¡¯s encouragement played a big role, and retained Aldridge with his friends to stay at home for dinner. Aldridge resigned but this passion for the mother and son, so Ivan, Eph Ryder and Brady stayed together, but they didn''t feel the guests'' consciousness and took the initiative to help cook dinner.


    A less generous but very enjoyable dinner takes place in this small apartment...

 Chapter 127： Historic day

    Before the report of the national team, during the FIFA match day, the first to board the street of the fleet was instead Aldridge.


    One day he spent a lot of time in the wild, he made headlines in major newspapers.


    Although his "serving a sentence" is like a show, no one can accuse him.


    Even the environmental protection slogan of his sports jacket, even the mayor of London has greatly appreciated it, and the United Kingdom is a country that advocates environmental protection.


    In the small show that the hot girl group promoted for the new album that night, the same promotional slogan was printed on the back of Melanie¡¯s costume. Before this, Aldridge did not pass through Melanie at all. It is estimated that she got it during the day. In response to the news, so impromptu performances came out at night to echo, and this tacit understanding benefited both.


    There are even TV stations that directly edit the tracking cameras during the day and broadcast them as a special program that night, called "Special Volunteers".


    Over the past few days, Aldridge''s popularity has once again risen to a new height, and its influence is also rising.


    In the Times newspaper published on Friday, a reporter wrote that when football experts are estimating the value of Millwall players, they are arguing who is the most valuable player in this team, and who has estimated Aldridge Ho Value? In my opinion, Millwall¡¯s number one star is not Larson, Nedved or other players, but Hall. If Hall disappears from Millwall, I believe more than 80% of people will again Changing Millwall will reduce Millwall''s competitiveness by at least one level. Millwall''s image is likely to be brought back to its original shape. Hall, this young handsome, is no less attractive than any Premier League star. And the coach, of course, he still needs a trophy to prove himself, but we boldly assume that if Hall proves himself with a championship, then how much will his value increase than now?


    In the past few days, Aldridge worked as a cleaner, went to a nursing home, an orphanage, and went to the hospital with several players. The behavior of the players was encouraged by the agent Andrew, which is conducive to building a positive public The image, and all of this, has the Millwall club color.


    Even West Ham and Chelsea, who lived with Millwall indefinitely, could not accuse Aldridge of a series of behaviors at this time.


    One fact that people cannot deny is that the celebrity effect is indeed important.


    An ordinary person said to be kind to the young and the old, it is far less effective than saying the same thing from the mouth of a celebrity.


    Aldrich is doing free public service advertisements, and such advertisements are needed by the society, and the public are recognized from the heart and hope to benefit more.


    Now not only Millwall people like Aldridge, more and more neutral fans are becoming Aldridge supporters, this support will be passed on to Millwall club, from the sales of jerseys and souvenirs Come out.


    Off-site public service advertising, voluntary labor is not Aldridge¡¯s main job, so the outside world is hyped up, and most of his time distribution is still in his own job.


    After FIFA match day, Millwall continued its good momentum. A big victory in the league placed Southampton in the relegation zone. Then, the atmosphere of the Millwall club became a little nervous because they were about to usher in history. Sexual moment.


    The atmosphere on the training ground became weird.


    Although usually training players under the supervision of the coach will be hard and serious, but occasionally make a joke to tell a joke to relax the atmosphere are common things, but in the days before the arrival of the League Cup finals, the players became very silent, just buried in training .


    Quite a taste of tranquility before the storm.


    Aldrich''s entry time is not long, he lacks experience, not to mention him, Millwall Club''s 110-year history, this is the first time to usher in the Cup final.


    He didn''t panic himself, but saw it very openly. It doesn''t matter if he loses himself, he still has a long life to come.


    However, he should always find a way to win, this is his job.


    But he was more at a loss. He didn''t know whether to relax the players or make them more serious.


    The first option, fearing that the players would really relax and despised their opponents.


    The second option is to worry that the players will be too nervous and will not be able to play freely.


    Aldridge was in a dilemma, and eventually the coaching staff was called up from top to bottom, and a special meeting was held.


    Other coaches also discovered this situation, and Aldridge was asked for advice. They all stared at each other with little help.


    Because they are also big girls on the sedan chair, the first time.


    Although he used to work in Ajax, he was not in the first team after all, could not enter the locker room, and did not know how to deal with the preparation process before the game.


    Aldrich thought left and right and decided to take the lighter of the two evils. Instead of letting the team loose the spirit of the enemy, it is better to let them set foot on the final stage with a high sense of war.


    In the locker room after training, Aldridge will play a more famous song when the players rest.


    Bran poetry.


    Legend has it that the Nazi Germans used to be a military song during World War II, but it was changed into the classic Themass by the famous music group ERA a few years later.


    This is an absolutely heart-stirring music that can mobilize the passionate passion of men.


    The weekend finals are of great significance to most players, and may be the first trophy of their careers, and also the first trophy of Aldridge''s coaching career.


    And this touches the nerves of every Millwall.


    Will the wait of 110 years and the history of 100 years without crowns be declared the end on the last Sunday in February 96?


    After training on Saturday, Aldridge returned to his parents¡¯ villa in the eastern suburbs and stayed here for one night.


    The next day, with his neat suit and leather, he was kissed by his mother before going out, and his father embraced him.


    Then, Aldridge walked out of the villa and drove calmly to the club.


    Arthur''s couple stayed at home. Amelia asked Arthur: "Will we sit in the same box with Ellis in the afternoon?"


    Arthur sniffed and said, "How is it possible? I don''t want to clash with an old man who has cancer."


    "Don''t you have a good relationship?"


    "What a fart, he just used me to blow Bates. He looked at me like he was looking at a horse. Grass, it''s so rich. In a few years, our family is richer than him. "


    The couple said that Ellis is the owner of Aston Villa and is a wealthy man. The industry is involved in nearly 20 fields, but the investment in Aston Villa is very stingy, with the management of making the club self-sufficient Mode is taking care of the team.


    Doug Ellis, who is about 70 years old, has prostate cancer and loves to show off his wealth. Rolls-Royce, who is sitting on a hot day, usually invited Chelsea boss Bates to take a holiday on his cruise ship. Ci was uncomfortable and said in front of him that the cook on the boat was too bad, which made Ellis cherish, turned his face with Bates, and then attracted Arthur, who was pinched at the round table with Bates, Ah Although Thur has the confusing attribute, but he is a master, and he is a bit angry with Ellis and the snake. Anyway, it is just for fun.


    But today is the day when Millwall and Aston Villa fight for the League Cup title. Arthur can no longer play with Ellis. If the two sit in the same box, Arthur feels that something will definitely happen.


    Aston Villa won the championship, Arthur said it might not smash the box.


    Millwall won the championship, Arthur was excited to celebrate too much, and Ellis might not be able to stand it either.


    Arthur has planned, on this absolutely special day, he will stand in the stands with his previous brothers, just as their fathers once cheered on the team at the Lion''s Cave Stadium.


    Other family members can go to the box, anyway, he does not go.


    Over the past 110 years, since Arthur has memories, his grandfather and grandfather and father have spoken countless times.


    "Milwall has no championship."


    Don''t care, who the **** believes!


    The first championship trophy, waiting too long, waiting for the sea to become a mulberry field, and waiting for countless young people to walk into the grave...


    Today, Arthur is extremely proud, and his son will surely end the club''s century-long history of no crown. He is very confident.


    And this is also the day when he and many of his brothers carried the expectation that their ancestors brought into the grave, and must witness together side by side.


    As soon as noon passed, traffic from East London to North London began to block.


    The reason is that Millwall fans are beginning to flock to Wembley Stadium in northwest London. Wembley Stadium, which can accommodate more than 60,000 fans, is definitely full of seats today, except for the tickets allocated to the fans of the two teams. Tickets sold through normal channels have also been sold out, and even if the price is severely raised by the ox, the Millwall people''s enthusiasm for rushing to enter the venue is still unabated.


    For Aston Villa, they were once glorious and reached the top of Europe 14 years ago, but it also seemed to be the last glory. Since then, they have never touched the top league champion, but the League Cup champion, the previous year, 94 years They are the champions, and this is their second time in three years to reach the final.


    Different from the opponents encountered by the Millwall League Cup all the way to the finals, Aston Villa''s promotion path can be described as continuous and powerful. It seems that their final tickets have more gold.


    It is precisely because they proved their strength in the promotion process that the finals are more exciting.


    Millwall, who is now ranked third in the Premier League standings, and Aston Villa, who is ranked fifth, is undoubtedly a strong confrontation, although the names of the two teams do not sound loud enough.


    When the coaches of the two teams entered Wembley, Aldridge saw a blue ocean outside Wembley through the window. Because of its location in London, the Millwall people came even if they did not have tickets. Here, cheer for the team at the nearest distance.


    Aldrich told himself in his heart: Maybe for himself, he can lose, but for them, he can''t lose!


    Ah, the bus stopped and the door opened.


    Aldrich got up for the first time, and said without looking back, "Milwall."


    The players shouted conditionedly: "Chong Chong Chong!"


    "get off."


    Aldrich took the lead off the bus.

 Chapter 128： Retro tactical puzzle

    The finals of the League Cup finals are about to begin, and Audridge is doing the final pre-war mobilization in the locker room.


    The players know the style of Aldridge and will not talk about tactics before the game. The work was completed in the past week.


    There was silence in the locker room. The players put on their jerseys and tied their shoelaces, staring at Aldridge with their heads solemnly.


    Aldridge solemnly walked in front of Keller, Shen Sheng asked: "Do you want a champion?"


    Keller replied without hesitation: "Think!"


    Aldridge moved to the side, came to Southgate, and continued to ask, "Do you want a championship?"


    "Boss, I want to dream!"


    Aldridge came to Stam again and asked, "Do you want a championship?"


    "Of course I think!"


    ...


    He asked the same question to every player in the locker room, and the answers he got were naturally the same.


    No one doesn''t want a championship.


    After the question and answer, Aldridge stood in the middle and said in a deep voice: "We all want the championship, we are very eager, but, what is the reason to win the championship? Is it by Henrik? Or David? Pavel? Robert? Bernd? Claude? I tell you, yes, neither!"


    Aldridge pointed at Keller and shouted, "Today, you are the protagonist!"


    "You too!"


    "And you!"


    "You, you, you... you are all the most important people, and together you are the most powerful team, why? Because we are united! We are twisted into a rope, our fists are towards the enemy, we Of individuals are not perfect, but we effectively complement each other, which makes us impeccable and makes us far stronger than they seem, right?"


    Aldrich glanced at every player, and they nodded firmly.


    This is what they take for granted. Under Aldrich¡¯s nearly two years, they all understood the importance of the team, and the football philosophy that Aldridge instilled in them was also reflected on the court, which allowed them to grow rapidly. Played a stronger strength than the individual stack.


    "Remember, glory belongs to the collective and belongs to each of you. Today, we are going to usher in a final. What will happen on the football field, we cannot predict it, but we can first imagine that if we can¡¯t score goals, What to do? Don¡¯t panic, stay focused on the game, don¡¯t be overwhelmed by the fear of losing the championship in your mind, trust teammates, believe in yourself. If we are ahead? Be sure to stay calm, the football field is changing rapidly, the game is not At the end, anything can happen. We will never allow victory to slip away from our fingers and stick to the end of the game. Then, we will celebrate unscrupulously. What is the worst? We have fallen behind and the opponent has advanced the ball Now, what to do at this time? Remember, adversity is the best stage to test a player, withstand the pressure, and show the determination and willpower to overtake the opponent, so as to prove your excellence, tell me, you Can it be done?"


    As soon as Aldridge''s voice fell, a deafening roar rang in the locker room.


    "can!"


    Aldridge nodded solemnly: "Okay, mad lion, rush."


    After all, Aldridge took the lead out of the locker room, and the players were all lined up with morale and morale.


    Walking out of the player''s tunnel and coming to the court, Aldridge walked to say hello to Aston Villa coach Brian Little.


    At the end of the game, the two will definitely not meet again, so before the game, say hello in advance.


    When Aldridge returned to stand in front of the coach seat, he looked up at Wembley Stadium, this national team''s stadium is full of seats, most of the blue ocean in the stands, you can also see a dark red, today, obviously entered There were far more Millwall fans than Aston Villa fans.


    It is estimated that more than 40,000 Millwall fans came to the scene, while Aston Villa only had more than 10,000. After all, this is London, and Millwall is a half home advantage.


    Brady carried more than three thousand roaring fan organization members in the stands and held up the dark blue scarf neatly. The pattern design of the scarf is very simple.


    1995-1996, Millwall team logo, Millwall name.


    The meaning to be expressed is also very simple, they want this scarf to become the most memorable one.


    Today, Millwall fans are a little quiet in the stands. Apart from singing, they don¡¯t look at Aston Villa fans at all.


    Most fans are also full of anxiety, tension, excitement, gains and losses and so on.


    Millwall set foot on Wembley, which has made history.


    Even if they lose the game, Millwall is the best result in the domestic cup.


    In the history of the previous 110 years, they did not even have a cup runner-up!


    But who will remember the runner-up?


    Come here, of course we want the **** champion!


    Grandfathers, grandpas, fathers, and family members, children, and a pair of eyes in the stands, no longer represent individuals, but inherit the expectations of a century.


    Millwall, let us be more proud and proud!


    The referee led the players of the two teams and started to enter.


    "Welcome to Wembley Stadium. On this sunny afternoon, we will be here to witness the birth of England¡¯s first championship award of the season. There is no doubt that this is a historic moment for Millwall. In the finals, they have created the best cup results in club history, and Aston Villa is the second time in three years to enter the League Cup final, they should be calmer than Millwall, because they know how to face In this eye-catching game, players are lined up to take a group photo, and then the audience will introduce the starting players of both sides."


    Southgate exchanged team flags with Aston Villa captain Hugo Egiogu, and then shook hands with the referee team. Then they returned to their respective teams for a group photo before the final match.


    Then, Millwall players gathered in a circle, bent down and hugged their teammates.


    I don''t know when it will start. This has become their habit. Before the match, the captain will also take the lead to boost morale.


    "Milwall."


    "Chong Chong Chong!"


    Southgate took the players to shout three times in a row, and then everyone roared and straightened up, standing in line and ready to kick off.


    "Millwall¡¯s starting lineup is familiar to us today. Goalkeepers: Keller, defenders: Thuram, Stam, Southgate, Neal. Midfielders: Schneider, Makelele, Ned Vader, Pires. Forwards: Larson, Trezeguet. Their starting lineup is 442. In contrast, Aston Villa¡¯s starting lineup today surprised us. The goalkeeper: Oakes, defenders: Nelson, Eziogu, Simika, Wright, Staunton, midfielders: Draper, Taylor, Kosic, forwards: Milosevic, York. It seems Aspen today Dunvila¡¯s head coach Litt is very afraid of Millwall¡¯s attacking power. He has a five-back formation and looks like 532, but York on the front line has a good pass technique. His range of activity should be It will be very large, so there may be a 541 formation. Let''s take a closer look after the game starts."


    Aston Villa''s platoon formation surprised Audrey.


    Aston Villa, who can be ranked fifth in the Premier League, certainly cannot be so conservative at 532. This is an adjustment made for this game.


    In the Aston Villa lineup, the players in the midfield and backcourt are all capable of fighting well. Perhaps there are no big stars, but they are definitely the level of the middle of the Premier League.


    The two strikers on the front line, one is Savo Milosevic, this Serbian is a typical shooter, he can score goals with head and foot kicks, but other qualities are lacking, it is the kind of need The striker that someone feeds the ball happens to have a certain coping ability with his partner Dwight York, and the ball can be passed at the foot. This York is also the partner of Andy Cole in the history of Manchester United Black Wind Double Shakes The York, with a strong physical detachment, is the kind of forward who can resist the oppression of the guard and firmly hold the ball.


    Brian Little seems to be using anti-reverse to win the League Cup trophy.


    After the game started, Aldridge observed the situation on the field and frowned slightly.


    Aston Villa really shrunk the defense, and the sense of hierarchy was very strong. Three midfielders protected the frontier of the restricted area. They never rushed to grab. The five guards were not lined up. Simika was more like a trailing central defender. It is to prevent Millwall from plugging in or infiltrating the threat ball to penetrate the back line.


    This kind of defensive strategy is not the first or the most advanced, and it can even be said to be retro. From the tactical principle, it is very similar to the original Italian chain defense.


    Just like the fishermen¡¯s fishing work in the Mediterranean, there are not one net, but two nets. There is an additional net behind the main net, so that the fish that have been missed from the main net can also be caught successfully. Fish in the net.


    In chain defense, the role of dragging the centre-back is the incidental net, blocking and destroying the ball or the forward attacking player who missed the front.


    Millwall''s offense was vivid and patient at first, but after several infiltrations were destroyed by the dense defensive line, the formation began to push forward involuntarily. More and more players invested in the attack, and even formed a challenge to Aspen. Don Villa''s siege at halftime.


    The roar in the stands, Millwall fans were very excited to see this posture, the champion should be here.


    But Aldridge oozes cold sweat on his forehead, feeling bad in his heart.


    The players have been inspiring during the preparations, which makes the players more oppressive and aggressive on the field.


    But it seems that all this is for Aston Villa.


    From the beginning, they assumed a dead posture, and were not afraid of Millwall''s mad attack.


    The offense is too forward, Millwall''s second half is empty, and although there are three players to ensure the defense, but Makelele, Stam, Southgate three, can cover the entire second half?


    The opposing Milosevic and York were fighting by single soldiers in the counterattack, and the space for running them was very large. Once they were given the opportunity, the consequences would be disastrous.


    Aldrich shouted the player''s name on the sidelines to prevent the two full-backs from assisting too often. This is the final and defense is always the top priority.


    But after Thuram and Neal withdrew, the offensive in the frontcourt was even more inaccessible, as if caught in a quagmire.


    After Aston Villa reduced the pressure in the midfield and backcourt, but did not invest too much force in the offense. The offense is very simple. A long pass or a direct pass sends the ball to the frontcourt. The rest is left to the two forwards. Played.


    Seeing this scene, Aldridge kept telling himself to calm down.


    This is a final match for patience, whoever loses the square first, who is equal to presenting the life goal to the opponent.


    Especially the defensive counter-attack tactics like Aston Villa often find a good opportunity after the opponent loses his reason and mad attack. A fatal blow will win the victory.

 Chapter 129： Fast break

    Millwall is the main attacker, Aston Villa is the main defender, and the situation is clear at a glance.


    The stand cheering was deafening, and the final at Wembley Stadium seemed a bit overwhelming.


    But Aldridge was not optimistic, Millwall¡¯s offense only blossomed, and the two fullbacks came back first to ensure the stability of the defense line. Aldridge wanted to lead the snake out of the hole to see Aston Villa under defensive pressure. Will it invest more offensive troops?


    However, Brian Little¡¯s tactical arrangement for the team today disappointed Audridge. Aston Villa was unanimously in step, even if there was time in the frontcourt to give their three midfielders an attack. They are still playing with long passes. Midfielders are mostly active near the center circle, and the full-backs have remained almost parallel to the back line.


    In this way, Millwall was the one who couldn''t bear it. Instead, he only relied on five players vs eight players in the frontcourt to attack.


    Players are always forcibly grabbed and cannot form a threatening offensive.


    So Thuram and Neal assisted again, but failed to make a big article on the wing.


    Aldridge was a little anxious in his heart. Aston Villa''s targeted defense had a sense of meeting opponents. Even if the defender defended, let the side go and let Millwall''s offensive players set the bottom, but it would definitely be blocked. Cut the line.


    After Schneider cooperated with Thuram, he took the ball to the bottom line, and passed Staunton with his foot skills. However, after passing Staunton, the ball was cleared by Wright.


    Three minutes later, after Piley collaborated with Neil on the other side, Neil opened Nielsen under the bottom belt, Pire took the ball inwards, the ball was just a step away, Draper oppressed, and Pire pretended to be a man. The latter foot crossed to Nedved, but Nedved took the initiative to get the ball, but Taylor fell to the ground and shoveled the ball.


    After one and a half minutes, Pi Lei reappeared, but he passed the ball to Neil. Neil did not choose to be superior, but a pass, Nielsen blocked with his body.


    Schneider picked the penalty area and Larson turned around and wiped Wright with a beautiful stop pass. However, after being dragged back, central defender Simek directly destroyed the ball.


    Attack, destroy, attack, destroy...


    The main melody of this game is too obvious, Millwall no longer tries to penetrate, Larson withdraws, Pires, Schneider, plus Nedved, they start to try long shots in the periphery, breaking the dense defense offensive The way they play handy.


    But several long-range shots were unsightly, either blocked by Aston Villa with his body, or ridiculously barely angled from the foot.


    Thirty-seven minutes into the first half, Millwall shot the goal only once.


    Aston Villa didn''t even shoot.


    Aldridge was pacing back and forth on the sidelines. He did everything. He studied Aston Villa''s tactics for half a month. He didn''t expect Brian Little to play such a hand.


    In fact, if he could walk into Aston Villa¡¯s tactical conference room, he would know that Brian Little referred to the game where Millwall played Newcastle United in the first half of the season. Strengthening the frontier protection of the restricted area, the back line has a level of front and back defense, the central defender intercepts and destroys the division of labor reasonably, and Lit did more thoroughly. He did not change the task of the double central defender, especially adding a trailing central defender to destroy the infiltration attack of the opponent.


    Newcastle United had an invincible posture in the first half of the season, but they returned with disgrace at the Lion''s Cave Stadium, which gave Litt the idea, because Millwall''s offensive firepower was no less than Newcastle United.


    Aldridge is miscalculated. The 442 he puts out is to balance the offense and defense. From the perspective of the matchup on the court, Aston Villa is able to defend well.


    He can see that the core of the problem is that the trailing central defender Simika in the penalty area, Larsen Gatrezege is defensively guarded by the double central defender, even if his personal ability is outstanding or he cooperates and then penetrates forward. Meka''s role immediately manifested itself, killing the offensive at the last minute.


    Aston Villa''s several counterattacks were resolved by Millwall in the high-ball rush, but this was not a good sign.


    When Aldridge was thinking about a change, Kosic cut off the ball at Pire¡¯s feet. Pire tried to break through the defense personally, but in a limited space, he deceived Nielsen but was succeeded by Kosic. .


    Kosic looked up at the frontcourt and kicked the ball to the right.


    Neil just ran up, chased back at this time, and when Millwall attacked, their biggest backcourt was the two wingers.


    Milosevic was at the forefront and pressed the back line composed of Southgate and Stam. York was like a free man, wandering back and forth in the frontcourt. This time, he was waiting for the ball on the right side.


    Makelele did not rush to grab, but withdrew his defense first, and then observed the situation on the court, found that Aston Villa no one plugged into the attack at high speed in the backcourt, Makelele purposely assisted the defense, Compressing York''s dribbling space.


    Milosevic first rushed forward, then suddenly braked and retreated. York, who was very tacit with him, did not intend to break through Makelele from the front. He just waited for his partner to run out of time. This is the opportunity. , Passed the ball in one pass.


    Almost forty yards out of the penalty area, Milosevic made a horizontal move after receiving the ball, adjusted the angle and steps, and did not give Southgate the opportunity to come up and grab his feet.


    Seeing this long shot, Aldridge was stunned and shocked in his heart: Fuck! Did Aston Villa and Lucky roll the sheets?


    The long shot of that foot is so beautiful, looking at the trajectory is running towards the dead corner of the upper right corner of the goal, the speed is fast.


    Keller made a contribution!


    Because of the long distance and wide vision, he had sufficient preparation time. This impeccable long shot did not cause him to lose a square. When the ball flew to the upper right corner of the goal, he jumped hard and his palms saved the ball. The bottom line.


    "WOW! Milosevic''s long-range shot almost opened the record for Aston Villa. This was their first shot since the start of the match and hit the target. Keller made a world-class save, but if Milosher If Vickey is shooting from within 25 yards to 30 yards from the goal, I am afraid that Keller will be unable to return to the sky. Aston Villa has got a corner offense."


    When the corner offense came, Aldridge found that Aston Villa''s midfield and backcourt players finally started to move forward, and moved at a high speed, sprinting in general.


    This surprised Aldridge. He immediately shouted at the court: "Go back and defend!"


    Millwall players also ran back at full speed. The scene was very strange. Obviously it was a corner kick. According to the usual game rhythm, the two teams should be able to defend one side and the offensive posture, but this opportunity is the counterattack. Here, York is running towards the corner flag at full speed, it seems to be about to take a corner kick.


    Three midfielders Draper, Taylor and Kosic also rushed forward immediately after the ball came out of the bottom line, which made Millwall players unresponsive.


    Between hasty deployments, there are too many loopholes.


    Aldridge couldn''t help but shouted: "Foul! Procrastinate them with a foul!"


    But the players did not make the most correct response for a while. They were more like good children on the court. When someone came to fight me, I would protect the key first, so the players ran back and only knew to stand in the defensive position first, but gave A golden opportunity for Aston Villa.


    After putting the ball in the corner position, York bent over and kicked the ball to kick the ball to the Draper who came from the side. Neal returned to the defense in a hurry to defend Draper, and York wisely retreated to the defensive line. Ahead, Draper then kicked the ball back to York, who led the ball to the bottom, leading the entire Millwall line.


    He nearly volleyed the ball with a near volley and quickly kicked the ball towards the goal. Millwall¡¯s defensive player tried to block the foot with his body. Southgate put the shovel and did not touch the ball. Stam was caught. Losevich struggled with his body, and neither of them touched the ball. Makelele pulled Taylor by hand outside the penalty area, but someone killed him after the penalty point.


    Kosic!


    Before the corner kick, he ran all the way from the backcourt. In the penalty area, Thuram hit him. Kosic''s feet stumbled and seemed to be falling. Thuram immediately raised his hand to signal that he did not foul. But opened the distance with Kosic.


    The stumble was almost a fall position, and Kosic nodded his head behind the goal and hit the ball only half a meter above the ground.


    It was too late when Keller flew away.


    The ball flew into Millwall''s goal. Kosic seemed to score and celebrate in one go. He slid directly on the chest and stopped at Millwall''s goal line.


    The hustle and bustle of Wembley Stadium immediately dropped by one level, and Millwall fans watched this scene on the court in disbelief as the thunderbolt cleared.


    Are we behind?


    Aston Villa fans burst into enthusiastic cheers.


    This goal made them feel that they had touched the championship trophy.


    "The goal has been scored! Aston Villa used a jaw-dropping quick counterattack to tear Millwall''s defense. And this counterattack was not an offensive. York passed the ball to Milosevi on the wing. Strange, the latter made a corner kick from a long shot, and then, Aston Villa¡¯s corner attack was also a counterattack. It can be clearly seen from the playback that two of their three midfielders plugged into the penalty area at high speed. Raper went to catch the corner kick that was quickly taken by York. With a simple two-on-one, York counter-offside took the ball to the bottom line and then vigorously crossed the ball. The rolling path of the ball is between the goalkeeper and the defender. This is the most It was a headache to pass the ball. Aston Villa had three impacts on the penalty area. Finally, Kosic, who was plugged in later, completed the goal. I think, if Kosic did not break the goal, maybe the referee will give a penalty. They, because we saw that when Thuram collided with Kosic, the referee put the whistle in his mouth. Now that Aston Villa has taken the lead, the game will be more exciting next!"


    The lost goal made Millwall players feel dazed.


    Aldridge, who was excited before, stood quietly on the side of the court at this time, waving lightly to let the players go to the middle circle to kick off.

 Chapter 130： Change for centre back

    After the birth of Kosic''s goal, the live camera immediately began to capture the focus. In addition to the scoring Kosic was pressed by the teammates Luohan in front of the Millwall goal, the expressions of Millwall players were also swept by the lens.


    Then, Aston Villa coach seats came out with a vote. Brian Little was naturally the protagonist. He clenched his fists and yelled with a smile. He seemed to be very excited about the effectiveness of his tactics.


    In the end, it was Aldridge, but the scene captured by the lens was incompatible with the hot atmosphere of the stadium.


    Aldridge stood calmly on the sidelines. He used to show some anxiety in the command that was easy to interpret, but now, instead, he calms down as if he has nothing to do with himself.


    The players will glance at the sidelines and see that when Aldridge''s movements naturally let them go to the kick-off, each player quickly recovers their fighting spirit from the blow of the goal.


    Seeing Aldridge''s current action naturally reminds them of what Aldridge said before the dressing room.


    Behind, this is the worst situation, but we are not unprepared.


    In fact, Aldridge was not calm at all, not at all.


    Even overturning the river and cursing the sky cursed the gods, and there were accidents on the football field. For example, if Milosevic''s long-range shot was a little off, there was no corner attack.


    Aldridge is just a mortal complaint. After venting his heart, he needs to calm down quickly.


    He can''t panic, if he panics, he can not only help the players on the field, but even spread panic to the players.


    The drop of the ball just now can be avoided. It can only be said that Millwall is still very young, and some defensive tactical details have not yet been honed and mature.


    When appropriate, foul tactics are enough to change the situation.


    Most of Millwall¡¯s players are model players who are ¡°disciplinary and law-abiding¡±. Even in the role of Makelele, who is mainly responsible for defensive tasks, he does not bother to use endless fouls to kill offense. His defense is a This kind of art, while destroying, is elegant.


    Millwall players are not without fouls, but they are accustomed to frontal defense. For example, Lucas Neal, who has the most number of cards per game on the team, his fouls always come from the aggressiveness of frontal defense. Temperament is often born by the player, not acquired. The counter-example is that many "Mr. Good" want to be more fierce, but always give people the visual effect of tigers.


    Tactical fouls are also a key part of defensive training. Millwall also focuses on developing the awareness of players, but this instantaneous judgment of electro-optical flint is not the coach saying a few words, the players can immediately be perfect, In short, experience.


    In the stands, Aston Villa fans sang higher and higher, while Millwall fans were confused and panicked.


    Could it be that the wait of 110 years has not come to an end?


    This lost ball hit many fans, even Brady, the leader of the fan organization, stayed in the stands for a moment, until Yiwen around him chanted Millwall''s name with a clear and sweet voice, before he let him go back. God came, and then greeted the palms like a beast and shouted Millwall''s name.


    Arthur and his old friends stood in the stands and had not sat down since entering the field. He wore a scarf around his neck and wore a Millwall jersey. When there was silence around him, he was a little bit careless. He looked sneered at the surroundings and said: "Have you all written badly? Didn''t you throw a ball? I saw Millwall''s game almost two thousand games, is it strange to throw the ball first? Look at your counsel! Shameful! "


    "Arthur, Fuck! This **** is the League Cup final!"


    A man who looked ten years older than Arthur said in lesson.


    Arthur sneered without looking back: "What happened to the final? If Millwall lost today, did you **** off your jersey and get out of East London? I''m curious, why don''t you lick Arsenal Butthole? They have played many finals and won many championships in the past. Isn''t that what you want?"


    "Arthur! Do you **** want to fight?"


    "Thirty years ago, I was able to beat you to find your teeth, and it will do today! Would you like to try it?"


    "Damn shut up!"


    The most prestigious among these old men is not Arthur, who is now rich, but an old man with white hair. He looks almost sixty years old. He is not tall and strong, and his wrinkled face is not angry. Wei, he was also the little leader of the old men who was on the street in the past. After three years of jail, he changed his spirit, but his gangster was not a little. His scolding immediately made Arthur and the fighting man obediently. The flag is over, the boss Yu Wei is still there.


    Papa!


    "Milwall!"


    Papa!


    "Milwall!"


    The white-haired old man said nothing more, shouting Millwall''s name after raising his hands high-five.


    Soon, there was a consistent shout from this quiet stand.


    Millwall resounded through the sky again.


    Now this game is the worst for Millwall.


    Aston Villa has taken the lead, proving that their tactics work, the players'' tactical execution will be more consistent, and they will not even move to attack.


    Aldrich was thinking about countermeasures on the sidelines, breaking the dense defense is nothing more than the three axe, breaking the long-range positioning ball, and he can''t help but emerge in his mind the best team to break the dense defense more than ten years later: Barcelona Dream Three.


    But he quickly shook his head to deny the idea of ??following Barcelona''s tactics.


    The core of Barcelona''s tactics is ball control. Guardiola''s control of the ball is like falling into devil''s control. Of course, this is inseparable from the example of Barcelona''s godfather Cruyff.


    "There is only one ball on the football field. When you firmly control the ball, your opponent can''t score."


    This is the core of Barcelona''s football philosophy.


    Millwall will also play short pass penetration, will also play after the winger, plug in, midfielder and forward player transposition and other details, but the football philosophy is essentially different.


    Aldrich does not seek to control the ball, but to pursue a shooting opportunity.


    When the player has a chance in front of the penalty area, he encourages the player to shoot, without thinking too much, without having to think about another pass in his mind, just shoot.


    It can¡¯t be said that football based on controlling the ball is boring and boring. At least players who play on the field play tricks with their opponents through twenty-thirty or three passes and finally score goals. For the players who are among them, It will be very fulfilling, it is simply art.


    But from the point of view of many neutral fans, they spend money to watch the ball is to see the joy, it is to watch the goal, it is to watch the exquisite long pass, it is to watch the personal technical ability display, it is the goalkeeper to save wonderfully, not to go back and forth to watch A short pass of 5 to 10 yards. When a shot within the range of the goal needs to be built on the basis of sixty or seventy foot passes or more times, Aldridge feels that such a football is difficult to survive in England because it will Let the enthusiasm of the fans decline, causing visual fatigue.


    What he is after is high-efficiency offensive football. If he can hit the ball with one foot, don¡¯t use three feet. Although this will reduce the control time of the ball and give the opponent more offensive opportunities, it is also football. The charm is, and he is not afraid of the opponent''s offense, risk always coexists with opportunity.


    What he was most afraid of was like Aston Villa now.


    Looking back at the bench, Aldridge glanced at the backup striker, Solskjaer.


    The baby face that can be edged can be used to fight back on the basis of leading.


    Barack and Vieira are one after the other, there is no problem in the midfield, and there is a lot of room for scheduling.


    Aldridge did not prepare for the full-back, but instead of goalkeeper Bout and a central defender, Materazzi.


    Neither Richards nor Elgra was on the bench because he thought Materazzi was more ferocious, whether it was to replace Southgate or Stam on the centre back, against Milosevic , Materazzi''s body and aggression can be shocking.


    Aldridge looked at the time. One minute after the first half stoppage time, the referee would immediately sound the whistle at the end of the first half.


    Aldridge walked to the bench and said to Materazzi: "Marco, warm up here at halftime."


    Everyone on the bench froze, staring at Aldridge incredulously.


    The team is behind, you let the central defender warm up?


    Southgate and Stam were not injured and did not have a yellow card. Did they change to center defender at this time?


    It was also difficult to blame the two central defenders for the ball loss just now.


    Why exactly?


    Materazzi, regardless of three, seven, twenty-one, jumped out in a vest and immediately warmed up on the sidelines.


    At the end of the first half of the game, Aldridge and other players walked into the player tunnel one by one, and then he called Neil and dragged him to the locker room at the end.


    Neil was sweaty and Aldridge didn¡¯t mind the sweat on his body. He embraced his shoulder and said seriously: "Lucas, you did well in the first half today, but I can only give you five minutes in the second half. time."


    Neil turned his head to look at Aldridge and asked: "Boss, what do I dissatisfy you?"


    "No, I said, you performed well, and replacing you is a mistake in my tactical layout before the game. If you try again, you will still be the starter and will play the whole game, but for the whole team, I must You replace it, this is for tactical reasons, not based on your performance, I hope you can understand and make sacrifices for the team."


    Neil was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Well, five minutes, I will try my best."


    "Lucas, thank you."


    Aldridge can only explain a little bit. He has no more time to comfort or relieve Neil. He can only communicate openly and honestly. Fortunately, Neal accepted Aldrich¡¯s substitution decision. He is a precocious Player, Aldridge appreciates his professional attitude.


    He is not a coach of his own style. If he replaces Neal in the 50th minute of the game without saying a word, this will have a great psychological impact on the players. The worse case is that it will affect the coach and the players. relationship.


    Aldridge was ashamed, so he took the initiative to apologize and explain, which allowed Neal to accept the head coach''s decision.


    The second half of the tactics was deployed in the locker room. Aldridge did not encourage morale during the intermission, because at this time, he needed the players to calm down, not just kick with a rush, calm mind Adding a steady state of mind and unyielding fighting spirit is the most important quality for adversity.

 Chapter 131： Strange array

    After the halftime break, Aston Villa''s players were in a very good spirit when they played. As long as they hold the second half for 45 minutes, they will win the championship trophy.


    The Millwall players were ready to kick off and Aldridge called the warmed-up Matrazzi to his side.


    "Boss, what are you going to do with me?"


    Materazzian said loudly with a strong chest, like a soldier''s determination.


    Aldrich turned his head to look at him and asked softly, "Did you notice how the opponent''s defensive formation is arranged in the first 45 minutes of the first half?"


    Materazzi froze, and then expressed his opinion.


    Generally speaking, there was no problem. Aldridge asked him to stand beside him, and took out his portable notebook from his suit, drawing a simple formation for him. It was Aston Villa''s defensive system.


    Three midfielders, one in front and two in back, four guards in parallel add a trailing centre back, the defensive system is very layered.


    Whether a team will defend or not depends on the number of defenders and aggressiveness. The most important thing is the level of the defense system and the connection between the players. Many stars break through the opponent''s entire defense line or pass the master one ball. Penetrating the entire line of defense, sometimes it''s not how skilled they are, but the opponent doesn''t understand what team defense is all about. The back line flocks up to grab a player.


    Aston Villa''s defensive system is very good today, and because it is the final, the players'' tactical execution and concentration on the game are very high. It is commendable to only watch the defense.


    They don¡¯t swarm to **** opponents, but slow down their opponents¡¯ offensive rhythm and compress space. When it¡¯s time to grab, always a defensive player to snatch, forcing the opponent to either play or break, and there will be teammates around him Waiting for an opportunity for the next interception, the efficiency is extremely high, limiting Millwall''s offense very well.


    The second half of the game began, Millwall''s offensive routines did not change, playing a combination of the side width and the use of the width of the court to create opportunities, but several passes to the penalty area threatening the ball were easily released by the opponent''s Simika.


    In the five or six minutes at the beginning of the second half, Aldridge has been explaining the defensive routines in the penalty area to Materazzi. Materazzi nodded very frequently.


    After Aldrich made sure Materazzi understood, he turned to him solemnly and said, "Marco, your mission after playing is like this. When defending, you harass the opposing midfielder and the wing player. Unstoppable, then stay in the frontcourt. The important thing is that when attacking, you must be at the forefront, entangled with the opponent''s Simeka, stay in shape, shoot if you have a chance, if he is not against you, then better, you Cover Henrik and David. Do you understand?"


    Materazzi is tall and a good player in the header. The most important thing is that his shots are not outrageous. If he kicks a penalty, he is not like a central defender.


    He nodded to understand that Aldridge patted his back to signal that he could play.


    Taking advantage of the chance of a dead ball, the fourth official played a substitution sign.


    Neal went down and Materazzi went up.


    "What are Millwall doing? They are now behind! But Aldridge has replaced a central defender! The teenager Neil performed well today. His assist in the frontcourt is obvious, but Aldridge put him It''s really puzzling to change it."


    Millwall fans also looked at each other, and everyone discussed the substitution.


    Are there three central defenders on the field?


    Don''t want to win?


    Even Aston Villa coach Brian Little was confused.


    He had expected what Millwall''s substitutions would be, strengthened the midfield, replaced Vieira or Barak, strengthened the striker, replaced Solskjaer, no matter who was replaced, it would not be a center back, but Aldridge just changed for good!


    After Materazzi played, the game continued, and he rushed into Aston Villa''s penalty area, and Millwall''s formation also changed.


    Thuram stayed in the back line and formed a double centre-back with Stam. Southgate went up to make a double midfielder with Makelele. Nedved went forward and turned into a front waist. On both sides, he Lei and Schneider leaned towards the middle of the road, a bit like a posture with three front waists in parallel.


    The most surprising thing is the striker. Trezeguet and Larsen are separated on both sides, and the top is actually Materazzi!


    The narrator interpreted Millwall''s changes from the audience, and opened his mouth without knowing where to start.


    What the **** is this?


    The location is 2233.


    However, when defending, Aston Villa replayed a long pass to find York swimming to the left. Schneider was the first to chase the defense and rob York. After the goal was successful, the ball passed to Southgate At his feet, Southgate passed the ball back in front of Pires.


    In Millwall''s defense, Pire and Schneider retreated very deeply. They were more like 352 full-attack and full-defense side players. However, during the offense, they gave up the side and were close to the center.


    Makelele inserted harassment forward and completed the response well. Nedved''s pressure became less and his performance began to improve.


    Pire took the ball and didn''t set the edge, nor cut into the penalty area. He and Schneider completed a long shot or a 45-degree pass near the top corner of the big penalty area. They all compressed the attack in the middle.


    Aston Villa suddenly had difficulty adapting, because their two full-backs were at a loss.


    When there was no pressure on the sidewalk, it naturally contracted into the penalty area. The penalty area was full of people. Millwall¡¯s attack was more intuitive. With a parallel line in the large penalty area, Pirley shot long, Schneider crossed, Ned Vader''s long-range or forward penetration compressed the space in the penalty area to a minimum, and Makelele would come up to complete the long-range.


    After the substitutions, Millwall''s offensive hit a wave higher than the wave, the ball hit, popped, hit, popped, so back and forth, the offensive overwhelmed Aston Villa.


    The most troublesome thing was Simeka. He had been very relaxed in the first half. He did not have a specific marking task. Eziogu and Wright were watching Larsson and Trezeguet, even if they were in their personal abilities. Downwind, Simika will ambush in the dark and wait for opportunities to successfully resolve the crisis in the restricted area.


    Whether it''s a missed ball or a missed person, Simika can solve it head-on.


    But since Materazzi came on the court, the Italian tall man stuck to him like a dog skin plaster, blocking his sight, distracting him from the existence of the opponent and being unable to calmly judge the development of the opponent''s offense.


    What''s more terrible is that Simika''s physical confrontation with Materazzi is not an absolute advantage. When Schneider and Pire crossed from the high ball at 45 degrees, Materazzi''s two tops were both Simika was shocked by the cold sweat, once the header was off the top and once the ball slipped over the heads of the two.


    Aldridge was watching from the sidelines. What he wanted to strengthen was not ball control. That didn¡¯t make any sense. The midfielder was originally Millwall in control. Although it seemed that there were more opponents, Millwall would be determined if he started the game. By passing the ball to control the midfield, they can create a record number of passes, but the game will only enter overtime and then take a penalty.


    What Millwall needs is a deep attack, and the threat from the bottom pass is not big, because the opponent will stand up to defend the high ball. Pire and Schneider''s 45-degree cross near the center road is more intuitive.


    Materazzi, Trezeguet, Larson, these are header players, in fact, this is a tactical confrontation.


    Simika had Wright and Eziogu as defensive screens, and Materazzi formed a screen against Larson and Trezeguet.


    While Millwall gave up the wing, Aldridge knew it was a risk, because once Aston Villa fought back from the wing, the threat would increase sharply, but no tactical change is a sure win. The key is Brian. Little dare to take a risk!


    Brian Little stood up and walked to the side of the court. His brow furrowed and worried. In just fifteen minutes, Millwall completed more than ten shots and shot four times.


    The three midfielders couldn¡¯t resist the bombing of Schneider, Piret, Nedved, and Makelele, especially when Materazzi attracted Simeka¡¯s attention. The short pass penetration that couldn''t open the halftime also had power, especially when Nedved got into the penalty area.


    Aston Villa''s defensive rhythm is disrupted. The origin is that their two full-backs. Nelson and Staunton did not counterattack and inserted assists. They defended honestly.


    However, when they also contracted into the penalty area, they caused trouble to their teammates'' defense. They recovered from the side to defend. Millwall players faced the goal directly. It was difficult for them to contain Milwaukee in impact. Attack, and teammates will be confused in the marking.


    Are you able to resist it or not?


    Keep it safe and leave it to you, don''t make mistakes.


    Don¡¯t mess up if you can¡¯t help it.


    Makelele took the ball and passed diagonally to Schneider''s right front waist position. Facing Kosic''s defense, Schneider drew the ball to the right and there was a lot of free space on the right. Kosic thought he was going to bottom. So he turned back to block the space, but Schneider performed the performance of one pass after another lightly.


    The ball flew into the penalty area, and quickly flew towards the dangerous area in front of the door. Materazzi, who was at the top, ran weirdly to the side. The header was rushed to the door before Simeka rushed to the door.


    Simika''s heart was cool, and his hand was pushing Materazzi''s back, but his head had turned back to look behind him.


    A lot of people in the restricted area went wild, and a shadow jumped into the restricted area and jumped high.


    The blond hair shone brightly under the light!


    Nedved!


    Nelson, who narrowed the penalty area, harassed from the side, but could not prevent Nedved from completing the header.


    Nedved wanted to head the ball at an angle, but the ball angled slightly towards the center of the goal under interference.


    The goalkeeper Oaks blocked his hands reflexively, his short body flustered.


    The ball bounced right in front of him. He swooped out to hug the ball, but there was a leg in the crowd that caught his eye, and the toe pierced the ball. Oakes widened his eyes and watched the ball incredulously from his arm. The following rolled behind him.


    At least three people fell in the penalty area, but the ball rolled into the door of Aston Villa.


    The referee whistle to indicate that the goal is valid and the finger is in the circle.


    Aldridge closed his eyes and clenched a fist in his right hand, waving up and down in front of him.


    The coaches behind him rushed out and celebrated with the players.


    Larson, who climbed up from the door, ignored the uncomfortable face of Aston Villa captain Esiogu who was kneeling behind him, and ran to the periphery with excitement.

 Chapter 132： Highlight moment

    "Millwall scored! Aston Villa was in chaos in front of the goal. The ball did not know who was kicked into the goal. The referee signaled that the goal was valid, and Millwall equalized the score! Larson stood up and ran to celebrate, replayed through slow motion. It was indeed that he fell on the ground and stabbed the ball into the goal with his toes. The ball rolled past Augustus'' elbow. Larson was so good that he could use Scoring in a reasonable and unreasonable way, as long as he can hit the goal, he can do everything!"


    Larson, who was running along the sidelines, opened his arms with an excited smile. His teammates chased him behind him. Wembley flashed from the sidelines. Countless reporters and fans in the stands were recording this with a camera. A moment.


    Seeing this scene, Aldridge silently said: Run, laugh wildly, Henrik, this is your moment, it is also the moment of Millwall, once told you: You are superstars, don¡¯t let My crazy words fell through!


    Larsson was quickly caught by his teammates, not only the teammates on the field, but Barak and Solskjaer who rushed from the bench also rushed over. They sincerely revealed this goal to save the game, everyone roared at each other He smiled and gave each other confidence in victory. The power of faith was contagious. During the process of walking back to the halftime, the lads were full of spirit and fighting spirit, as if they were invincible gods.


    Aldridge seized the time to call Makelele to the front and told him to return to the midfielder position, allowing Southgate to return to the centre back position. The score was equalized, and Millwall needed to balance the tactical system.


    Will it weaken the offense? Sure, but Pire, Nedved, Schneider and Aston Villa three midfielders formed equal stranglers in the midfield. Aldridge did not think that Millwall would be disadvantaged.


    The key point is that in the penalty area, as long as Materazzi can continue to entangle Simika, Millwall still has the initiative to play.


    Brian Little saw the ball lost, his face changed, he waved on the sidelines to allow the players to continue to do defensive work.


    Speaking of resilience, Brian Little is obviously not in line. The tactics he arranged before the game were very effective in the first half. Everything was proceeding according to his plan. However, when the situation changed suddenly in the second half, his tactical layout became Because of the short board, he did not know how to adjust his tactics at this moment.


    Aston Villa 532''s tactics, the backcourt is five guards and three midfielders, defensive protection is all-round, it is equivalent to enclosing the restricted area in a circle, just like a fortress, Millwall''s first half offensive is also all-round, just in the center , No way.


    But in the second half, Millwall gave up the side, attacked the middle, and concentrated on the local bombardment. This made Aston Villa''s two full-backs defensive. They were all the same, because the attack did not go to them. Going back, the full-back went back to the forbidden zone and instead disturbed his teammates, and he stumbled.


    If Aldridge is Lit, he will definitely allow the full-back to go directly to the position of the full-back, which can not only harass the midfield, but also form the most direct attack point in the counterattack. This is a strenuous play, but On the football field, there is the courage to be desperate. But unfortunately, Little does not have the courage. He feels that the game is just back to the starting point. The big deal is the penalty kick.


    Fans of Millwall in the stands seemed to return to the world from hell, and everyone exhaled.


    After scoring, Arthur and his old friends jumped and jumped, turned to hug each other, and even kissed each other¡¯s heads, even if they were scolding each other before, they all hugged and celebrated, and lived to their age, It won''t be as careful as a spoiled child.


    After the kick-off of the game, Aston Villa was equalized, and their defense was no longer watertight. Simmeka could not play the destructive role of the dragging back, Millwall''s offensive threats were frequent.


    When Aldrich noticed that Aston Villa had not made any offensive adjustments, he glanced at Brian Little, who had become dignified, and secretly secretly said: The direction of the game has changed!


    0:0 and 1:1 have no difference in the meaning of a single match in the cup, they are all draws.


    However, the situation of the game has changed dramatically.


    This change comes from the mentality.


    Millwall later naturally moved forward with more courage, and Aston Villa began to have a somewhat unbalanced mentality. The idea of ??dead defense may not be able to remain consistent. From leading to being equalized, it feels like what was snatched. They don¡¯t Willing to be reconciled and hoping to score another goal for Millwall, anyway, it has proved that they have the ability to break through the opponent''s door.


    Such a change directly led to Aston Villa''s partial cooperation between players.


    After receiving the pass from Staunton, Corsic did not make a long pass to the frontcourt because he could not see York on the pass line, so he took the ball forward and was snatched by Schneider and resulted in a loss. After the ball, he had no time to complain about his teammates'' lack of assists, and immediately turned back to defend.


    The number of defenders decreased and the space became larger. When Nedvide took the ball, Taylor decisively directly selected the foul, and then he beckoned Kosic to signal that the opponent came back to defend and do not rush forward to attack.


    There is a direct free kick in the frontcourt. This free kick is located right in front of the penalty area. Schneider is standing in front of the ball. There are three Aston Villa defensive players behind the big penalty line.


    In front of the far post, Millwall''s offensive players are crowded here.


    Heading players Stam, Nedvide, Larson, Trezeguet ambush here, Pire and Makelele are ready to find a second offensive opportunity outside the penalty area.


    "Huh? The offense and defensive position of this free kick are very strange. Millwall''s offensive players all rushed to the far point of the goal. It seems that they want to take Schneider''s arc to complete the shot with a diagonal shot. Aston Villa¡¯s defensive players are attracted to the past. York and Taylor are alerting Pire and Makelele on the big penalty line. Aston Villa¡¯s central front is a no man¡¯s land. It¡¯s strange. A scene."


    It seems that the middle is wide open. Millwall may choose a free kick to make a long-range pass to Makelele or Pire to complete a long-range shot. Or it may be a direct pass to find the teammate¡¯s head. Anyway, this will make the goalkeeper Austria. Gus Rumang is on his back. He always pays attention to the far post and then stares forward. When he starts to pay attention to the kick-off Schneider, he finds that the opponent''s eyes have been staring at the far post.


    The quality of Schneider''s free kick is high, but there are not many breaks, because in many cases, direct free kicks will pass the tactics. After all, there are many offensive players with good headers.


    The jersey was wet and Schneider Khan was raining, but he didn''t feel tired at all, and he didn''t have time to sort out some messy hair. He stared at his teammate on the far post and started running.


    The sweat dripped, crystal clear.


    Boom!


    There was no small noise when the foot contacted the ball.


    Schneider then turned his attention to the direction he really wanted to kick the ball.


    Augustus moved half a step ahead in a panic, and this half step made him feel very regretful!


    He moved to the right because it was in the direction of the far goal post, but the ball flew over from the wall, that is, the near goal post. The angle was somewhat positive and the speed was very fast, almost Augustus moved one step to the left Can easily open arms to block the position of the ball.


    However, after moving half a step, Augustus turned his head and looked to the left side behind him. The ball rolled into the net nest. He kneeled softly on the ground with his legs and covered his face with his hands.


    Cheated!


    "Wow! Wow! What is Augustus doing? Schneider''s free kick breaks directly! This free kick has no other characteristics besides its speed, the rotation arc is not obvious, and the angle is not tricky, but Augustus let the ball fly into the goal from the front, why did he move to the right in advance? Was it attracted by the attacker Millwall arranged on the left? I don¡¯t know, maybe he will tell us the truth after the game, Now, Millwall has overtaken the score! There are 13 minutes left in the game! Millwall is 13 minutes away from the first championship trophy in history!"


    After Schneider scored a goal, he jumped high, waved his arms, and then rushed to the coach side. Aldridge and all the coaches and players on the bench were waiting for him. When he rushed over, Odric Qi held him in a hug and lifted it high.


    This game is undoubtedly Schneider''s high-profile game.


    The first goal came from his inspiration, the second goal was his free kick directly.


    Even goalkeeper Keller rushed over and hugged the team as if they had won the game.


    Wembley boiled. In addition to the eclipse of more than 10,000 Aston Villa fans, the blue ocean rippled like a wave for a long time.


    Arthur shouted frantically around: "We are ahead! We are **** ahead! My son is the most amazing! He will take the **** trophy home and give it to every Millwall! Grass fucking, Long live Millwall!"


    The old men around took off their jerseys and waved them in their hands, excitedly taking retro steps, cheering long live Millwall.


    The fans were excited and excited, but Aldridge hugged Materazzi after the celebration and gritted his teeth: "Marco, go back to the back line, you play the left back, there is only one task, destroy the opponent''s attack, but be calm, Don¡¯t easily set the ball for your opponent."


    Materazzi nodded fiercely, then Aldridge said to Nedved again: "Pavel, you retreat first. After I replaced Patrick, you return to the front waist."


    Nedved nodded fiercely.


    When the players began to return to the field, Aldridge immediately handed over the exchange list.


    After equalizing the score, Aldridge let the substitutes warm up except the goalkeeper.


    Now he used Vieira and Solskjaer to remove Pires and Schneider.


    Change to 4231.


    Although Materazzi is not a full-back, but Aston Villa does not have a strong right-winger today, Aldridge now wants to control the midfield, and then when the opponents attack, the space behind them will become larger, then, Millwall needs speed to attack.


    Solskjaer and Larson are on the sidelines, Treze is at the forefront, and three arrows are shot.


    Aldridge is determined to win this victory!

 Chapter 133： Sudden change

    Aston Villa calmly calmed down for more than seventy minutes and finally panicked. From leading to being reversed, the psychological gap can be imagined. At this time, Brian Lit is already a cliff behind him. Abyss, only one way forward: attack!


    The flag waved and the offensive horn sounded.


    Aston Villa changed 352, and the full-backs moved forward bravely. They didn''t consume much physical energy before and they could complete the straight sprint.


    And after Aldridge sent Vieira, he and Makelele strengthened the vertical interception in front of the penalty area, which is to prevent Aston Villa''s counterattack.


    Time is passing by one minute and one second. At this time in the game, the players on both sides saw a red bayonet and frequent fouls. Aston Villa is difficult to organize an effective offensive, and the wing-off will not threaten Milwah from any direction. Goal, Southgate and Stam became the Dinghaishen needle on the back line.


    When the game came to the last three minutes, Aston Villa''s impatience was clearly exposed on the court, and the three midfielders also rose up, strengthening the number of people who directly threatened the restricted area.


    However, they lacked a good passer, and the results of two consecutive passes were not satisfactory. One foot passed the bottom line, one foot was not high enough, and even Materazzi did not go around the top of the head and was directly topped by the full-back. Went out.


    When Staunton passed the ball for the third time, the ball fell very well. It was near the penalty spot. When the ball was seen, the audience held their breaths and did not dare to miss this moment in the blink of an eye, fearing that there will be a goal in the next second. .


    Boom.


    Aston Villa fans sighed loudly, and Aldridge was relieved.


    In the crowded restricted area, Stam jumped high to make a header and did not give Milosevic any chance.


    The ejected ball was taken by Nedved, who was withdrawn. His position of taking the ball was very dangerous. Taylor was preparing to attack from behind him, and Nedved clearly knew this. He turned his back to the front field. The ground half turned and swept the ball to the right, and Larson, who was waiting for the opportunity on the sidewalk, got the ball and started the long-distance attack.


    The fans of Millwall waved their arms and roared Larson''s name in a face, encouraging him to rush forward.


    Aston Villa was completely empty in the second half, and there were only three central defenders. Larson rushed all the way along the side road. He made a line-changing action that cut inwards. He just took the ball two steps and faced Intercepting his Wright, Larson kept his speed, changed the line flexibly again, and drove the ball to the bottom line.


    He took the Aston Villa defender with the remaining two defenders to the bottom line. When the ball came to the small penalty area, Simika had to block him, and Larson calmly knocked the ball back. Middle road.


    Trezeguet, who was already ready to go, ran out of space, and Eziogu was two meters away from him, facing the ball, Trezeguet was a powerful volley!


    Goalkeeper Augustus threw himself at the corner of the goal, yes, he guessed right, and saved Trezeguet''s shot bravely!


    However, the ball bounced to the other side, and Solskjaer, who was unmarked, suddenly killed as if the sky was falling. The non-stop ball was a kick and the ball rolled into the bottom right corner of the goal.


    Millwall locked the victory 3-1!


    "Super bench Solskjaer! Millwall again used their best counterattack to penetrate the opponent''s gate. Aston Villa may have no chance. They can only watch the championship trophy from Milwaor''s hand. Steal, Aldrich Hall¡¯s substitutions and adjustments are important factors in determining the game. From today¡¯s Millwall¡¯s substitutions adjustments, it can be seen that Aldridge will use the most suitable in the most unfavorable situation. Strategy, Materazzi''s central defender is going to be a striker? Who can think of such an unexpected effect?"


    Solskjaer showed an iconic smile, his hands clenched fists high over his head, Trezeguet ran over to hug him, and his teammates all smiled excitedly.


    There is nothing more exciting than a reversal in the final.


    Aldridge also turned back and celebrated with the coaches. He jumped on Jenson''s back, and everyone was celebrating with fists raised.


    Brian Little appeared expressionless at this moment and seemed to have been hit hard. Aston Villa players also lost their fighting spirit. They bowed their hands on their hips and looked helpless and frustrated.


    There were only three minutes of stoppage time remaining in the game. After the kick-off, Millwall retired and Aston Villa continued to try two long pass rushes. The effect was not satisfactory, even the high ball from the midfield directly Out of the bottom line.


    When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the match, Millwall''s players were thrilled.


    The other coaches and players all rushed into the field to celebrate, but Aldridge hugged Neal and walked slowly towards the court. He turned his head and whispered in Neel¡¯s ear: "Today¡¯s game, you are wronged, your sacrifice. Today¡¯s victory, Lucas, I don¡¯t know what else to say. It¡¯s my luck to have a player like you.¡±


    Neil, who had already put on his jacket, also hugged Aldridge. He smiled and said: "Boss, to be honest, I am more grateful to you. I was scared when you came last year, but you gave me trust, other players. At my age, it is impossible to play so many games in the Premier League. I respect every decision made by the boss, and it is the same today. The most important thing is that we won the championship."


    Aldridge nodded with a smile.


    The year before he entered the home team was to use thunder to clean the club players, Neil in the youth team must have been frightened for a while, but he was one of the only two left in the team, and it was a break from the youth team. Directly promoted to the first team, Aldridge believes that a player who is born and tough like him can adapt to the big scene at a younger age, but he still needs to combine work and rest in use to avoid too many early games and cause overwork. .


    The players celebrated each other on the court, and Aldridge patted Neal on the shoulder, letting him go to party with his teammates.


    The surrounding reporters and cameras have been paying attention to Aldridge. There is no doubt that Aldridge has created Millwall''s history and also achieved himself.


    He, who is about to turn 20, has harvested the first weighty trophy in his coaching career today. This may be unprecedented. As for whether there will be a latecomer, Aldridge doesn''t know or care.


    When he slowly walked into the court and planned to hug and celebrate with every player, the accident happened suddenly!


    When the referee blew the whistle sound at the end of the match, more than 40,000 Millwall fans in the stands seemed to hear the most pleasant sounds of nature.


    The Millwall people who watched the game in front of the TV also started a crazy celebration.


    Some people wept with joy, some dropped the wine bottle in their hands, some shouted with emotion, some held the jersey and kissed the team emblem...


    Numerous bars in East London have fallen into a riotous rhythm, and the bar owners are also excited to invite guests to drink beer and celebrate together.


    The crowd on the street shouted and chanted this great moment.


    They have been waiting too long, and their depressed emotions have been too long. For 110 years, how many hundred and 110 years are there in life? No, it is the time that ancestors have passed together. This victory, this championship, is not only the most exciting moment for the witnesses, but also the bell that comforts the ancestors to rest in peace.


    You can''t see Millwall''s glorious predecessors until you die all your life. Whether you are in heaven or hell, can you see clearly with your eyes wide open?


    Millwall, the first championship in club history, has arrived!


    The Wembley Stadium was surrounded by water, and there were no tickets. The Millwall binge gathered outside the stadium caused a sudden increase in security pressure. Inside the stadium, countless fans on the stands embraced and wept, and some even knelt down with **** and tears The news is spreading to heaven.


    But more fans couldn¡¯t restrain their emotions. They wanted to thank the heroes on the court and wanted to express their gratitude with hugs, kisses, and talks. So, the fans crossed the stands and poured into the stadium like a tide That scene is like a volcanic erupting magma going downhill from the crater and is difficult to contain.


    Aston Villa players immediately ran back to their bench and stood together to prevent injury in the runaway scene.


    The stadium security people were taken aback. You must know that this kind of scene has become a plague in the English stadium. The most feared course management is the chaos caused by large-scale fans. The tragic scene of the Heathsburg massacre is still vivid. And today is still a final, and there will be an award ceremony later.


    Stadium security and police rushed into the court and began to maintain order, but they were helpless and could only push down the uniforms of some male fans with exaggerated facial movements and some exaggerated movements.


    FAS Chairman Wiseman and executive Kelly, who stood up in the royal box to prepare for the award, saw this scene and turned pale.


    Millwall, eighteen generations of your ancestors!


    A good game, until the end, it was destroyed by the hooligans!


    Beside them, there are still members of the royal family and several famous places in English football. No one will be happy to see the scene of chaos on the court!


    What should I do next?


    How do you still award?


    Wiseman even panicked. It is estimated that the England League Cup final will become the headline of European football tomorrow. Scandals or jokes, no matter what, this will make the FA a laughing stock and a scapegoat.


    Just when the officials were helpless and did not know how to close the game, the sound of the stadium suddenly heard a magnetically powerful male voice.


    "Stop it! You **** stop it for me! You, the fat policeman, take your dirty hands away from the Millwall! And you, are you going to kill the lad? All **** give it to me stop!"


    On the stadium, in the stands, everyone''s movements stopped, looking for the source of the sound, and finally, the sight was fixed in the center of the stadium.


    There, Materazzi and Southgate stood side by side, and on their shoulders, Aldridge''s legs trembled on the shoulders of the two to maintain balance, but he tried to straighten his waist, holding in one hand Holding the microphone, the other pointed to the police and security personnel who were subduing the fans nearby.


    The handsome face showed a cold and determined look, and Aldridge''s words made the stadium instantly silent.

 Chapter 134： Bad things become good things

    When there was a hint of chaos in Wembley Stadium, Aldridge was shocked first, and then reacted quickly. He knew that the celebration that could not let the fans rush into the court turned into a confrontation with the police security. Caused a disaster, and he can not take the players off the court, otherwise, this victory will not only cast a shadow, but will also make Millwall suffer a heavy blow.


    He must stand up, whether he is the manager of Millwall or the club owner, he must stand up.


    So, he quickly asked his colleagues in the coaching staff to get the microphone of the stadium. The colleagues and the players were like running relays. The microphone quickly passed to Audridge. At this time, the players involuntarily surrounded him. , Aldridge used Matrazi and Southgate as stepping stones, allowing him to at least be more conspicuous when speaking.


    When his words were spoken, the entire stadium was quiet, Millwall fans stopped and stood on the spot, and then observed the surrounding situation. When they found that a police or security officer had pushed the fans to the ground, they didn¡¯t do it. With an angry look to the hands of the policemen, under the gaze of the eyes, the police and security guards stopped their movements and began to go out in a state of anxiety. A fan with a rogue halo above his head.


    "Why do you want to start with the Millwall people? Why? This is a day for every Millwall people. It is their moment. Mr. Security, I respect your work, but please forgive us and Milwaukee. Elders, 110 years, 110 years, this is not just the waiting of Millwall fans present, but also their parents, grandparents and even grandfather! This championship belongs to them, please don¡¯t stop their celebration Let them come and release their emotions on this glorious stadium. We are not thugs, we are not gangsters, we are just footballers who have been waiting for the championship for too long."


    Aldridge''s words made Millwall fans nod together, their tears in their eyes excited.


    The police and security guards are already standing on the side of the stadium, they do not know what to do next, especially the already crowded stadium becomes quiet, no fans are running, they are just clustered together.


    "No matter what you want to do, hug our players, sing and dance on this stadium, or take a commemorative photo here, but please pay attention to the companions around you, especially the elderly people And young children, don¡¯t let them be hurt. On this day and this moment, we should celebrate together and leave good memories together. Other people like or hate us. We don¡¯t care, but we can prove to the world that we are The purest fan, Millwall, long live! Thank you, wow, Gareth, catch me, ah..."


    Aldridge said at the end, his trembling legs finally failed to maintain balance. He fell back with one back. Fortunately, Jensen hugged him, and also made the fans who locked their eyes on him.


    They didn''t want Aldridge''s young coach to fall out.


    The infectious words penetrated the hearts of every Millwall, and they began to stand on the court in an orderly manner, and applauded, cheering Millwall''s name, Aldridge''s name, each player''s name.


    Even Aston Villa fans who didn''t leave the stands were applauding.


    The elderly fans among them fully understand the inner feelings of Millwall fans.


    Fourteen years ago, they had the honour to witness Aston Villa ascending to the top of Europe. Fans who came to watch the game even wanted to move the turf of the stadium back home for collection.


    This kind of emotion does not need to be brewed, nor can it be prepared in advance. When you are at that special moment and witness the history, it will naturally reveal, people will be out of control, and you cannot stop the outbreak of emotion.


    Thunderous applause rang throughout the audience, and Wiseman''s face in the royal box finally showed a smile. He also began to applaud. CEO Kelly whispered in his ear, saying Wiseman nodded.


    Such powerful figures as the FA¡¯s chairman and executive are a bit similar to China¡¯s secretary and mayor. One is governing organization discipline and the other is economic development. CEO Kelly is naturally for the purpose of promoting English football and marketing profits. Existing, he instantly thought of a good way to regard this League Cup final as a positive publicity.


    But of course, not to encourage fans to rush into the field, but Millwall ended a legendary scene like the century without a crown. At the moment, fans applauded the players on the court and threw each player and coach to the sky. Take pictures with each other, hug, and chat with each other, each picture will have a positive plasticity.


    It is the ability to make a bad thing better.


    And Aldridge, a coach who is not yet twenty years old, looks in the eyes of Kelly and Wiseman, as if the pervert met the beauty as coveted.


    Aldridge is an Englishman. He was so young that he won the championship trophy.


    How legendary?


    The propaganda star used for English football naturally attracts attention.


    Although the stadium was overcrowded, it was a sea of ??joy. The family or girlfriends of the players stood on the sidelines of the court, and some single players on the court let the young children of the fans sit on the shoulders. The picture is warm and touching.


    When the awards began, the Aston Villa players first walked into the Royal Box, Brian Little dragged the last, the forty-year-old head coach deliberately shook hands with Aldridge again, and made Sincerely said from the heart: "Aldrich, today you and your team not only won the game, but also won the respect of the world."


    Aldridge smiled and said nothing. At this moment, his suit had no idea where he had gone, and it was probably secretly hidden by an unknown fan.


    After he and his team members walked into the royal box together, the players accepted the championship medals. Aldridge last walked over. Those football fans who knew or knew not in England all kindly chatted in the ears of Aldridge. .


    Mostly words of encouragement and praise.


    When he came to FAS President Wiseman, Wiseman took Audridge''s hand and bent down to say in his ear: "Audridge, Millwall scared me out of heart disease just now."


    "Then you should hate me."


    Aldridge replied with a smile.


    Wiseman didn''t turn his head. He was talking about the behavior of the gang of fans, so he asked: "Why do you say that? I always like your game."


    "If my team does not reach the final, then nothing will happen."


    "Haha, no, what happened just now is beautiful, Aldridge, you did a great job, but, next time, let the fans restrain themselves."


    "I will work hard, and I don''t want good things to go bad."


    "Okay, I look forward to seeing you here next time."


    "I think so, I''m afraid you will be annoying me by then."


    Wiseman chatted with Aldridge for a long time before finally straightening up and walking over to hand the English League Cup trophy to Millwall captain Southgate.


    Southgate and Nedved are on the left and right. The two hold the half of the trophy. To be honest, the League Cup trophy is a little small. The two of them take half each. The visual sense is really funny.


    The two captains turned their heads and looked at the teammates who had been waiting impatiently. They asked in unison, "Are you ready?"


    Teammates with medals on their chests waved their arms coquettishly, Southgate and Nedved looked at each other, and then raised the trophy together.


    "The 1995-1996 season English League Cup champion is: Millwall!"


    The champion''s song rang out, and the fans who looked down at the royal box under the stadium had many uncontrollable emotions, tears in their eyes, and even some tears. The tears of joy made them unbearable.


    Aldridge loosened his tie and walked down the stairs silently. He knew that the players were celebrating at the moment, which they deserved, and Aldridge did not want to grab the limelight of the players at this time.


    A smart head coach knows how to satisfy the player''s vanity and should not be silly.


    But he had just reached the bottom of the steps, his shoulders were held, and he looked back. Southgate laughed, "Boss, what are you doing?"


    Aldridge didn''t open his mouth, and Schneider bent down and hugged his thigh, shouting, "Don''t want to run."


    Southgate, Schneider, Trezeguet, and Materazzi carried the four-pronged Aldridge to the court, followed by all the players.


    Aldridge couldn''t laugh or cry, are you all demon? Treat me as a Tang monk and throw it into the pot?


    Arriving on the court, Aldridge was thrown into the sky, and the players were happy after a while...


    On the return bus, Aldridge was the last to get on the bus. He was still wet with his alcoholic clothes. During the celebration, Larson poured champagne into the trophy, and then unexpectedly from Aldridge Behind him drenched him into chicken soup.


    Although the players who played the game were exhausted, they were still in high spirits. They took a photo with the trophy on the bus and sang. When Aldridge came up, he pressed his hands to signal the players to be quiet, so everyone looked He smiled at him.


    "Two days, you have two days of vacation. You return to the team to train on Wednesday morning. Then, business is as usual."


    Aldrich''s words cheered the players, and Makelele asked loudly, "Boss, are you coming at night?"


    Southgate, as a local and captain, will organize a party in the evening, and all the players will go to participate. This is not fun, because they will take their families.


    Aldrich shook his head and smiled: "Have fun, I have my own plan."


    The players laughed happily, most of the bad intentions.


    Probably they all guessed that Aldridge would go on a date with the famous singer.


    Aldrich also did not explain that as the head coach, the gathering of players, he should not appear, unless it is that kind of obscene party, if Aldridge knows, he will definitely go, but will drag the players away.


    He will celebrate with Brady and they have fun at Sand''s Bar tonight.

 Chapter 135： Need a pot of cold water

    You must be happy in your life. Aldrich does not need to keep a low profile deliberately after winning the championship, it will become hypocritical.


    What is a friend?


    Aldrich doesn''t think that friends must like to work together to do big business. When they are happiest, they accompany you with madness, and when they are sad, they accompany you with sorrow. Such people are friends.


    On the night when the League Cup won the championship, Aldridge played in the Sand¡¯s bar. He drank with people he didn¡¯t know. He danced with young and beautiful girls one after another. He socialized instead of physical desires. He had fun. The drunken man was drunk with the help of Evan and Fred before returning home.


    When he woke up in the morning, he went down to the living room and found that Fred was lying on the floor of the living room and slept. He curled up on the sofa and slept soundly. He pushed the bathroom door open and Aldridge saw Bray silently. Di held the wine bottle and lay in the bath without water.


    He simply took a shower. The friends hadn''t woken up yet and made coffee. He went out and got the newspaper that morning.


    Go home and put on the headphones to turn on the TV. While listening to the news, open the newspaper in your hand to browse the news.


    The most concerned nature is the football report.


    He would subscribe to the British newspapers, even the tabloids, and the newspapers like The Sun, which are based on the sensationalism, often have no real and reliable news.


    "Times", "Daily Telegraph", "Guardian", "Independent", Aldridge spread these four newspapers on the coffee table, originally intended to turn to the sports section, but some cover headlines attracted his attention .


    There are also Premier League matches on Saturday and Sunday. Millwall and Aston Villa delayed the league because of the League Cup finals. The news of the Premier League in the newspapers is only a few words, and these big newspapers are not all against the League Cup. Focused on the finals.


    "The roar of the mad lion shakes England!"


    "England coach genius: Aldrich Hall arrives!"


    "The dawn after one hundred and ten years is dazzling!"


    ...


    Aldridge browsed the newspaper while holding coffee and looked at it and found it boring.


    Because most of the newspapers are full of praise, they basically sing praises to him and his team.


    And some of the photos with the layout are very good. For example, he was thrown into the sky by the players. For example, Larson ran on the sidelines after scoring. The background is a highlight of the flash, which is very attractive.


    Aldridge sighed with his forehead. Fleet Street, brother kneeled for you.


    The season is not over yet, what my team needs is a pot of cold water!


    Aldridge hopes that some sneering voices will appear in the newspaper, which can stimulate the team to be more aggressive, rather than being held up in the sky. In that case, I don¡¯t know how miserable it will fall.


    However, this is the characteristic of Fleet Street. You are red, compare you to the sky to stars, you are black, crush you under the feet, and spit.


    It is undeniable that if there are players in the United Kingdom starting to become red, then England¡¯s ability to make stars is undoubtedly derived from the powerful media power of the United Kingdom. Originally, the United Kingdom is the European news center. News in various fields, the United Kingdom is the heart of public opinion. Zone, coupled with the advantage of English, the communication ability is unmatched by other European countries.


    Italian, Spanish, German, French, the news dissemination of these countries is not as good as English, it is no wonder that after the rapid development of the Premier League commercialization, it can bring out a lot of superstars of high value, and the Premier League broadcast can be quickly Reasons for global promotion.


    Yiwen, curled up on the sofa, suddenly lifted his body, rubbing his eyes blankly, and saw Audridge sitting opposite the coffee table suddenly screaming, then got up and ran to the bathroom, just entering the bathroom, another scream, Then came Brady''s scream.


    Aldridge laughed straight, obviously Yiwen was concerned about his own image, not to mention the beauty of Su Yan''s appearance when she was awake, but her light makeup last night passed the night, and there were also signs of a cat face.


    Half an hour later, the three best friends made a simple breakfast after washing and watching the meter, and sat down around the coffee table and started chatting.


    Aldridge dropped the newspaper and watched the TV show with great interest. He watched a replay of the football commentary show last night.


    Some famous and ball critics gathered together for a technical and tactical rematch of yesterday''s League Cup finals, and conducted a detailed analysis and interpretation of the entire game.


    Aldridge likes to watch these kinds of shows, because it is far more connotative than the news. The score of a football game may be very simple. Only a few goals such as 1:0, 2:1, 3:0, But in ninety minutes, not a certain mistake made by a player on the court or a goal created by a wonderful cooperation within ten seconds can condensate all of the game. Experienced retired coaches and discerning ball critics sat down and resumed the game. The game can often provide a lot of information that is invisible to the naked eye, and there are also Adrich''s commanders on the sidelines who missed or did not realize. For him, watching these kinds of programs is very helpful for his coaching. , Even if only an audience, can open up ideas.


    After the hangover, Fred and Brady were not in a good state of mind, and they looked a little muddy. The two had to go home to make up for it. According to Wen, she would go to college to take classes. Aldrich was going to drive to deliver Her mobile phone rang.


    After hanging up the phone, Yi Wen whispered to him: "Go busy if you have something, I will take a taxi myself."


    Aldridge laughed: "Don''t worry, let''s go, I will send you."


    She drove out of the house and drove her on the way to college. She didn''t seem to be refreshed when she was sitting in the co-pilot. Her head remained silent against the window.


    When the car stopped at the door of the university, Ewen suddenly turned around and stared at Aldridge and asked, "Where did she go?"


    Aldridge inexplicably said: "Who?"


    "Your singer girlfriend."


    "Oh, to promote the album outside, not in London."


    "is this okay?"


    "What do you mean?"


    Yiwen withdrew his gaze and continued to look away from the window, said lightly: "When you are happiest, she should be with you."


    "Oh, I don¡¯t think it¡¯s necessary. How do I say it? I like to maintain a certain distance. Besides, she is a career woman. I support her career. She also supports me. If she accompanies me every day, I will feel guilty. Because I don¡¯t have much energy to coax a woman, I am a boring man."


    Aldridge said he finally used some self-deprecating tone.


    Football coaches have this life, and if they want to succeed, it will take a lot of time. Because football is advancing with the times, you must not only study the current football style and tactical characteristics, but also have a keen sense to perceive the future trends and implement to The specific work is to repeatedly study the opponent.


    Sometimes the work is boring, but Aldridge can only have fun, and sometimes after a lot of boring research, the weakness of the opponent is found, then it is a kind of joy and joy like a long drought, this pleasure, outsiders It is not realizable.


    Ewen turned her head to look directly at Aldridge for three seconds. Her beautiful and clear eyes saw Aldridge hairy in his heart. He said, "You wouldn''t doubt that I am gay?"


    Yi Wen threw a smile, with a smile on his face, shook his head and pushed off the door, and then turned to bend over and said to Audric in the car: "Drive carefully."


    Aldridge waved goodbye to her and drove to the club.


    Before going out, he called Adam, the club''s CEO, to inform Aldridge that a business partner had arrived.


    Puma''s commercial representative Warm Heisenberg.


    Almost a year ago, Aldridge first made contact with Heisenberg, the two did not talk, and in the summer, Puma was somewhat reluctant to sign a shirt sponsorship contract with Millwall, which was considered a test in the Premier League. investment.


    That contract is not large, ¡ê750,000 a year.


    Now that the one-year period has not yet arrived, Heisenberg took the initiative to visit Millwall and definitely wanted to continue business cooperation.


    Adam, the club''s CEO, is also very cunning. He will release the wind after the New Year. Millwall''s jersey sponsorship and chest advertising will expire in half a year.


    Millwall¡¯s high-profile performance in the Premier League and a lot of live broadcasts have increased the club¡¯s commercial effect. Balek Bank has reached an oral agreement with Millwall. In the summer, they will continue to sponsor and are a two-year contract. , ¡ê1.5 million per year.


    Puma can¡¯t sit still either. Millwall not only performed well in the Premier League, but now wins the League Cup. If there are many classic shots of English football this season, most of them have the shadow of Millwall, just jerseys. Sales, let them turn over.


    This is also related to Millwall''s first appearance in the Premier League. Fans'' enthusiasm for buying new jerseys is hot, and as more and more neutral fans begin to pay attention to Millwall, this is intuitively reflected in jersey sales. .


    The intention of commercial cooperation and contracts are generally decided within half a year before the expiration of the previous contract. Continued cooperation or cessation of cooperation will not make a decision until the contract expires.


    In this regard, Adam could have dealt with it himself, but in order to show his sincerity, Audridge planned to meet Heisenberg personally. As he said last year, he valued the partners with friendship.


    Arriving at the club, Aldridge directly invited Heisenberg into his office. Heisenberg said a compliment and gave a small gift to congratulate Millwall on winning the League Cup.


    His attitude has changed drastically compared to last year. His enthusiasm is so eloquent that he eloquently praises Millwall, even using the word great.


    Aldridge and Adam both knew that the other party was flattering, so they laughed, and there was no need to go to their hearts.


    When it comes to specific sponsorship contracts for next season, Heisenberg proposed to sign a three- to five-year contract with an annual sponsorship fee of ¡ê1.25 million.


    Aldridge vetoed directly and came up with a plan.


    One-year contract, ¡ê1.25 million.


    Two-year contract, 1.5 million pounds per year.


    Three-year contract, ¡ê2 million per year.


    Four or five-year contracts, ¡ê3.5 million per year.


    Heisenberg almost fell off the cup and left.


    Aldridge made him restless and analyzed the reasons for this proposal.


    As long as Millwall maintains the current Premier League rankings, then next season, they will play in the European arena. Although it is the low-impact Europa League, it will always help commercial development.


    And Aldridge is also confident that next season, Millwall will be more powerful and hit more trophies.


    Heisenberg felt that the long-term contract was too risky. He proposed to sign for one year first and next year for two years.


    Aldridge knows what the other party is doing. It is nothing more than signing a ¡ê1.25 million contract this year. If Millwall can remain competitive next summer, then sign a two-year contract of ¡ê1.5 million a year.


    Aldrich laughed: "Mr. Heisenberg, we can continue to sign a one-year contract this year, but if next year, Puma is still interested in working with us, my minimum asking price is 2 million pounds a year."


    Heisenberg is deflated. This superficial digital game naturally cannot hold Aldridge, and the verbal promise is not binding at all.


    He left with the proposal proposed by Aldridge and went back to the company to study it.


    A month later, Puma agreed to a two-year sponsorship plan, and the contract will be renewed in the summer, with an annual sponsorship fee of 1.5 million pounds.

 Chapter 136： Najib sounded the alarm

    After eating at noon, Aldridge took a short break, and then went to the hotel where the team was staying in the afternoon. He changed into swimming trunks and exercised by swimming.


    The big indoor swimming pool is the only one, swimming back and forth in the swimming lane at a constant speed.


    I don¡¯t know when, when he was wearing swimming goggles, he saw someone standing by the swimming pool. Audric saw Naji from a distance, and he didn¡¯t know the other person¡¯s expression clearly. Still shouting: "Wait a minute, there are two more laps."


    After swimming for two laps, Aldridge left the pool and walked to Najib to take a closer look. He was startled. Najib''s eyes were covered with blood, and he looked worried.


    "what happened?"


    "I have something important to talk to you!"


    "About the players?"


    "No, it is the team, the future of Millwall!"


    Aldrich¡¯s face instantly became dignified, and his personality, such as Najib, determined that he wouldn¡¯t joke, that what he said was always just right, neither exaggerated nor conservative.


    After simply washing and changing clothes, Aldridge led by Najib to the conference room in the hotel, this is where they usually coach meeting.


    Aldridge sat down and said, "Speak."


    Najib first went to turn on the big TV in the conference room, put a edited video tape into the VCR and started playing.


    He turned around and said, "Look first."


    Aldridge sat straight, staring at the TV, and found that the picture was the League Cup final, Millwall played some clips of Aston Villa.


    The video angles are various, and the combined clips shown in the picture are all Millwall players attacking, Aston Villa players are defending, and the offensive players and defenders are one-on-one.


    Larson, Trezeguet, Pires, Schneider, Nedved, most of them in the lens.


    After reading it again, Aldridge spread his hand and said that he did not understand Najib''s intention.


    Najib replayed the video, and then pressed the remote control to freeze the screen. He pointed to Larson, who was holding the ball in the screen, and said, "Henrick has the ball in this position. How many options do he have?"


    Aldridge''s expression was shocked, and he looked forward to it, his mind started to run fast.


    In the picture, Larson faced Taylor''s defense. He had a breakthrough space, and at that moment, after the central defender Simeka did not come close, Larson broke through, not saying that he scored 100%, but at least there was A good starting opportunity, and this is what Millwall is after, a direct scoring opportunity!


    Najib continued to play the video. Larson chose to pass in the picture. Although he didn''t lose the ball, he gave Aston Villa more time to set up a defensive formation.


    In the next screen, Trezeguet took the ball on his back, Najib pressed the pause button again and asked, "What should he do?"


    Audrey observed teammates were stared to death in the picture, and the team members inserted later were not in place. Trezeguet either returned or relied on himself, and because Eziogg was not posted, Trezeguet had room to turn around.


    Aldrich said: "Turning around and shooting directly is the best option."


    Najib played the following clip, Trezeguet turned the ball and tried to break through, and the ball was intercepted.


    Najib said in a deep voice: "David made the right choice, but he did not do his best. As long as he dribble the ball horizontally, adjust the shooting action and the shooting space in one step, he can shoot directly instead of The ball continues to break forward. From the perspective of the picture, it is clear that there is space around him for him to make the best move."


    Najib continued to play the rest of the clips. Although the action figures were different, Najib wanted to elaborate the same problem.


    The players have almost no problem in handling the ball, but the details of handling the ball are not first-class.


    After turning off the TV set, Aldridge solemnly said: "Naji, let''s focus on it."


    Winning the championship yesterday, Najib didn''t celebrate. He returned to the club and asked the staff to send the footage of the scene to his office and immersed himself in the study all night. Until now, he has not closed his eyes and rested.


    He sat down and stared at Aldridge¡¯s eyes, and said in a deep voice: ¡°Aldrich, yesterday¡¯s victory was not about how well the players played in determining, but your tactics. Millwall played in the Premier League this season The excellent performance is not the top of the players, but three reasons, first, team tacit, second, tactical, third, physical fitness."


    Aldrich replied: "Able to cooperate with teammates and implement coaching tactics, coupled with careful training and strengthened physical strength, does this not prove that the players are excellent?"


    Najib shot the table with excitement and shouted: "No! In this way, Millwall''s integrity will indeed be very strong, but there will be great limitations, because these players are only the product of Millwall''s team tactics. , They can only adapt to this kind of football, and they don¡¯t seem to be particularly outstanding. In other words, they are good players, but they can never become top stars! When our opponents adapt to our tactics, our physical fitness no longer has an advantage, then , We will be caught up by our opponents immediately, we need to strengthen the talents and rational use of the players, let them turn their talents into strength, and make the players be able to make the most correct one in the decision to handle the ball in an instant, and have the ability to do it the best!"


    Aldridge was shocked, and Najib sadly said: "Did Larson score fewer goals than Hiller? No, but what does Larson most of the goals come from? The team''s overall cooperation, and Hiller What is the goal? There are many that he can send the ball to the goal in the most reasonable way without being an absolute opportunity."


    Aldridge was a little stunned and asked: "Doesn''t this make us stronger? We don''t highlight individuals, but the whole."


    "You are wrong, Aldridge! This is not a personal argument with the team. Rather, if you are given a Hiller and a Hiller that blends into Millwall team football, he will perform better than Larson. Still bad?"


    Najib''s voice is getting louder and louder. Aldrich doesn''t like this usually, but today, instead, his mind is clear.


    Yeah, give him a Hiller with an absolute chance to score, so how many goals can Hiller score?


    Although this is an impossible fantasy, intellectually, Aldridge tends to Hiller''s undisputed victory over Larson.


    This is not a judgment of ability, but a hypothetical substitution on the subjective impression.


    Because the bottom of the heart is a feeling, Hiller''s threat is greater.


    What went wrong?


    Aldrich took out a cigarette and smoked a few, then whispered: "Naki, no matter what you want to say, calm down first, and then we will talk, I will listen to whatever you want to say. You first Tell me what you found to be the essence of the problem."


    With a long sigh, Najib also lit a cigarette, and said sadly: "It''s the Brazilian guy you sent."


    "Ronaldinho? What''s wrong with him?"


    "He is too talented, I can''t teach him."


    "What do you mean? He doesn''t listen to you?"


    Aldridge frowned. From the coach''s point of view, players who were not disciplined were always repelled from the heart, regardless of the player''s fame, and Ronaldinho, who was not yet an adult.


    Najib waved his hand and said: "No, it''s not his reason, it''s me, it''s the youth coach''s problem. We instilled in him team thinking, the concept of overall football, he is learning, and he is doing well, but he can Do more, you also know that he has incredible extraordinary thinking and technology, but the problem is that when he starts to excel on the court, we don¡¯t have a coach who can tell him how to excel in different environments. The choice of the person¡¯s perspective, and what kind of foot skills to connect to the team after the most reasonable passing action. This does not conflict with our tactical philosophy. Players don¡¯t have to only pass the ball and run, passing is always on the football field. Technical requirements that will not disappear."


    Aldridge rubbed his temples to make himself understand the issues that Najib explained.


    "Aldrich, assuming the player takes the ball during the offense, the choice is nothing more than three, shooting, passing, passing. When not in the shooting area, naturally the remaining two are left, and our tactics emphasize the overall, with teammates running. And when there is a reasonable pass route, the player¡¯s choice should be the pass, but when the player has no pass space and can¡¯t shoot, then it can only be a breakthrough, Millwall is playing smoothly in the league, Because of our advanced tactics, the full-backs and midfielders alternate in assists. In some areas, we can always penetrate the opponent through a short-term advantage. However, when the opponents keep up with our pace, when our local number does not have the advantage, When our players want to change the game through foot technology, will they still have this ability? Do we still have this ability? Yesterday''s game, we won, but it also exposed our biggest problem, personal one-on-one, which The players have the absolute upper hand? Larsen counterattacks the ball by speed. Nedved''s breakthrough is also by speed. The only players who can barely dominate by foot technology are Piray and Schneider."


    Nadji''s words made Audridge look ugly.


    Perhaps the person who needs a pot of cold water is himself.


    He recalled yesterday''s game. Indeed, in the case of equal numbers, Millwall has no players who can stand up to change the situation through personal ability. It is he who broke the deadlock by attacking the middle to create a number advantage.


    After all, Aston Villa is not a top strong team. The two defenders on the back line are overwhelmed when they are left aside, but if they change to other top teams, I am afraid they can easily adapt.


    Aldrich looked up at Najib and asked, "Why have you been here for so many months, only realized this problem today."


    Najib smiled bitterly and said: "When I took over the youth team, the players on the team were like that. The arrival of Ronaldinho surprised me a while, probably because his talent is so outstanding, so I let I suddenly realized this problem, and, you know, I used to work in the national team, and the center of gravity was not to teach the player''s skills. I checked the training videos of several players in the first team, and after comparing, I found out that you will Unhappy fact."


    Aldridge nodded in understanding, the national team coach is not responsible for training players, but to adjust the status of the players, bring the existing players together, the focus of work and the club are two concepts.


    "Let''s say, if there are hidden dangers in team building, you will ask me to help me correct them. I will be very happy. I will not be happy until the problems are fully exposed in the future."


    "Take Glenchart as an example. Over the past year, his physical indicators have increased, his team consciousness has increased, and his passing position has become more and more mature. However, his foot skills have hardly improved. Especially for his superior skills, a year ago he only accelerated the ball inside the foot. One year later, he still only did this trick. Fortunately, he is still young. If he is twenty-four or five years old now, he will Was eliminated, or stayed at Millwall as a substitute for a specific position, and the limitations are very large. Aldridge, the technology is developed, not born, the players on our team can pass a foot Good shot, Pirlo not only made good short passes, but also made more and more accurate long passes. This is all practiced, but in our training program, there is no targeted training, it sounds like a fantasy, yes In addition, other clubs will not spend time each week arranging special training courses. The superb technology seems to be the patent of smart technical players. However, the superb technology is a very important part of catching the ball, dribbling and shooting! "

 Chapter 137： Tactical flow and technical flow

    Najib¡¯s superior skills do not specifically refer to the extraordinary movements that players must use to dribble the dribbling, but a general term that can be understood as the sense of the ball, the skill of the ball, and the ability of the player to control the ball.


    It¡¯s easy to understand that players with excellent skills can use the technology to get rid of the spot, control the ball within a small range to expand the selection range, it is not necessary to have to pass the defensive player in front, but players with such technology, kick The ball can be more "cunning", with strong deception and unpredictability, making the one-on-one confrontation more dominant.


    However, the club generally does not specifically teach the players how to pass, the players in the training class can pass, but the kind is free to play, you can pass you, you can pass, if you can¡¯t pass, it is judged that the talent is not enough, and the ball The team will not systematically teach players superior skills, because this is a waste of time in most teams. First, a team will not allow too many players to pass freely, and secondly, the coaches will not Spend time betting on whether players have this talent.


    In the traditional concept, the player''s superior skills are often not systematically trained, and talents are considered to account for a large proportion, including physical characteristics, such as bent legs Galincha, short stature Maradona, it is undeniable that The dexterity of the taller players is not as good as the short players, which is determined by innate conditions.


    However, the importance of superior technology proposed by Najib is not for passing, but for the player''s characteristics.


    For example, Peter Pan, Ovimas likes to pass the bottom. After he passes, he can cross with the opponent''s entire back line directly, disrupting the opponent''s defensive rhythm.


    Aldrich began to review his youth training policy. When he first took over the team, he focused on training players for the team, to consolidate the team into a whole, so he must emphasize the integrity of the team, which is inevitable If he emphasizes the technique under his feet and let the players play unscrupulously, the team will be over and it will only be a mess.


    Millwall last season can be said that there is no youth team at all. The youth team is just a stage for training. The first team tactics are practiced to enable players to play team football through teamwork.


    This season, Millwall only officially has a youth team. The establishment of the youth training base has only been more than half a year. Najib has discovered the shortcomings of this youth training system.


    There are two kinds of excellent coaches. The first is to let all 11 geniuses show their strength, and the second is to let 11 ordinary players show 1+1 greater than 2.


    Aldrich did not think that the player he bought from the beginning was a mature genius, otherwise, it would not be his turn to pay the bill. So, what he had to do was the second point, let the player 1+1 play more than 2 strength, then the foundation of the team is of course the team, which is also the long-term policy of building the team.


    However, under too much focus on the team, Aldridge somewhat ignored the personal growth of the players.


    What is the reason?


    Aldrich self-reflected, probably because he valued the effect of teamwork more, so subconsciously, he did not have the kind of expectations for players to perform personal heroic performances.


    Therefore, when the players pass the passing ball on the court and the right place is in place, he is satisfied.


    Is this enough?


    not enough.


    Far from enough.


    Aldridge was awakened at the head, no team can achieve a permanent tactical lead, no, because tactics is a cat and mouse game, when your tactics lead, countless people will start to study countermeasures, and eventually return Balance and then wait for the next tactical change.


    The excellent tactical concept can improve the team, but it is the players who rely on the tactics to the extreme.


    Aldridge was a bit annoyed. He also talked to Ferguson about tactics without secrets. The key is the fit of players and tactics. He ignored this.


    Is the tactic mysterious?


    Not mysterious, countless teams will want to emulate the tactics of the strongest team, but many of the coaches of latecomers have fallen badly. The experimental effect is that Dongshi is the best. The most important factor is that the composition of the players is uneven, and the perfect effect is simply not achieved.


    Didn''t the future team want to emulate AC Milan? But do they have Nesta, Maldini, Costa Kuta? Is Seedorf in the midfield, Pirlo? Does the striker have Shevchenko, Inzaghi?


    The same is true for Barcelona. Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, Puyol, etc. are all unique and cannot be perfectly copied by following tactics.


    A successful team should be the product of a perfect combination of tactics and team, both are indispensable.


    Aldridge was a little too focused on tactics and ignored the team.


    He was blaming himself, and his expression could be seen. Najib reassured: "Audric, you don¡¯t have to be like this. Millwall has performed so well this season. In the good times, it is really difficult to find problems. You can¡¯t be blamed. I am not perfect enough, are I?"


    Aldrich packed his emotions and said after a moment of silence: "I think this mistake was committed six years ago."


    "six years ago?"


    Najib had no idea.


    Aldrich asked: "Have you heard of Guffren?"


    Najib shook his head.


    Aldridge reminisced and said: "I studied in the Netherlands six years ago. The Dutch Football Association''s youth training policy was based on Michels and Cruyff''s football philosophy. , I admire this philosophy, because I think the development trend of football in the future is that the offense needs a whole, and the defense needs a whole Very appetizing to me, but in the Netherlands, there is a relatively obscure football genre, I also only accidentally listened to the conversation of my colleagues to know that the person who created that genre is called Guffren."


    Najib asked curiously: "Is there such a person?"


    "Yes, just in the Netherlands, he is not tolerated by the mainstream. Dutch football is dominated by the tactical flow ideas of Michels and Cruyff. I think that tactics are supreme, and the player''s simple football is the best. My heart Deeply agrees, because the development trend of football is that players are getting faster and faster, whether it is offensive or defensive, it is fast and concise as the mainstream, slowly organize the offense, too many individuals sticking the ball, it will only be eliminated by the times. Fren created a training method called CM, which advocates the flow of technology. The core idea is that people control the ball and control the opponent, thus ruling the game, requiring players to only practice technology and not practice tactics. It seems that they want to prove Genius can be cultivated, not determined by talent."


    "Genius can be trained... Genius can be trained..."


    Najib muttered to himself, constantly repeating this sentence, it sounded incredible.


    How many football players are there in a century of football? It is difficult to count, but hundreds of millions should not be exaggerated, because the player replacement is within 15 to 20 years.


    But how many geniuses are there in this century? According to the proportion of the football population, it is simply a percentage of zero percent after the decimal point. I don''t know how many zeros are added before there is a number.


    If genius can be practiced, then it¡¯s not all Maradona Belle Beckenbauer that players are sweating?


    "At the time I heard a remark by Guffren, and then rejected his philosophy of football. In order to refute Michels'' tactical flow, he said that the success of the other party is to rely on Cruyff, Van Basten, a genius who has never been encountered for a hundred years, has such a genius, no matter what formation is used, it doesn¡¯t matter. I think this is a ridiculous thing. Brazil, with its talents, has proved countless times to command 11 geniuses It will not be much easier to succeed than commanding 11 idiots. Because of this preconceived notion, I have no interest in the training mode that promotes the practice of ball skills but not tactics, but in retrospect, I think I committed it There is the same mistake as the Dutch Football Association. Between the tactical flow and the technical flow, there is no relationship between death and death, just as the barriers between the forces and the technology are getting weaker."


    Najib blinked, wondering: "I don''t think this kind of thing should be black and white. The tactical flow and the technical flow can coexist, but there should still be a major and minor distinction."


    Aldridge nodded deeply, "Yes, this is what I want to say, the tactical flow is the soul, and the technical flow is the flesh. The perfect combination of the two can achieve the best results. The famous super team in history At least, the tactics are not behind, and there are talented players in the team to perform. And I did have some contempt in the past."


    Najib asked in confusion: "Why didn''t anyone remind you? There are so many coaches here."


    Aldridge smiled bitterly: "Jenson, they all came from Ajax, advocating tactical flow, in the Netherlands, they are instilled in tactical ideas, technical characteristics are played according to talent, rather than deliberately trained, they It will allow players to spend more time on training and running awareness, rather than specializing on how to pass people. This can''t blame them. If you don''t ask these questions, I don''t notice anything wrong."


    Najib nodded understandingly, then asked: "So how to solve this problem?"


    After thinking for a while, Aldridge said: "Soccer schools sometimes have too extreme ideals, which is not good, and the ideas and reality will always be disconnected. For example, the technical flow can develop players with good skills, but it is really impossible to practice genius. Maybe maybe 100,000 players regularly train their skills, and eventually no more than ten will become geniuses, and how many of these ten can be integrated into the team? We need players to improve their skills, which is based on their talented basis The first is to turn potential into ability, but not to take this kind of training as the mainstream. It is hoped that after day-to-day training, mediocre players will become the next Maradona. That is unrealistic. It is still a tactical concept, followed by targeted technical training to grow players, so that they have distinctive characteristics in the team, while complementing, they also maximize their advantages, which helps tactical flexibility."


    "But where are we going to find this kind of coach?"


    "I remembered two people."


    "Who?"


    "You don''t know what you said, I hope you can recruit them."


    Aldridge''s fingers tapped the table rhythmically.


    Two figures appeared in my mind.


    One was Mullenstein who later turned Ronaldo from flashy cyclist to Mr. Golden Ball.


    The other is Ricardo Moniz who retired three years ago.


    The former has not yet been dug to Manchester United by Ferguson, but Aldridge does not know where he is.


    The latter can be found in the Netherlands. This person has historically tuned Van Persie. Even if Van Persie transferred to Arsenal, he will regularly return to Moniz for training. It can be said that Van Persie''s technical characteristics are specially trained.


    What they both have in common is that they are admirers of Guflen. Mullensteen studied CM in depth. Aldrich had heard of CM before, but he only realized that Guflen started it six years ago, and suddenly realized that Mullensdin How to tune out Ronaldo. Moniz has even been taught by Gufran''s words and examples, and he has made it true.


    The most important thing is that Aldridge hopes to dig these two people, not only to train the players, but also to train the coaches.

 Chapter 138： Potential change ability

    On the second day of vacation, Aldridge gave Adam a task to let the club CEO take an assistant to the Netherlands, and hire Ricardo Moniz, who is an assistant in the Dutch team.


    He asked Andrew to find Mullenstein in his company¡¯s football information database. The staff in Andrew¡¯s company updated the information database every three months. They included players and coaches of European professional leagues into the information database. This kind of information collection took them two years. The last two years have been a little easier, as long as they are updated regularly. This will help Audridge to discover genius, and also allow Andrew¡¯s brokerage company to obtain first-hand information in the future. Signing players to provide convenience.


    But what disappointed Aldridge was that even though there were some people with the same name as Mullensteen, they were not him.


    Aldridge thought for a night and couldn''t figure out where he was going.


    In the morning, he accepted an interview with the BBC. The original interview was about Millwall winning the English League Cup, but Aldridge has repeatedly run the topic. He is talking about the feasibility of the CM training system. A coach named Mullensdin is very respected. When the host asked who this person was, Aldridge only said that he was a Dutch. He admired the other very much and hoped to be able to have academic exchanges in football with him. It would be an honor for him to cooperate.


    Millwall is in the limelight, and Aldridge is going to use this prestige to make news.


    The English media have hardly heard Mullenstein''s name. After all, the superiority in their bones makes them self-centered and has no concern for anything outside of England, but the news will spread quickly.


    In the football world, European football is the center of world football, and the mainstream league is the heartland. The news generated here will be of concern to the industry. The spread is extremely fast and the influence is not bad. Although the Premier League is not as hot as Serie A, Mill Wall''s legendary script has made the media''s big book special, naturally become the focus.


    Aldrich is stupid in this way, and he feels like he is waiting for the rabbits, but he can only do this, and at the same time, he also asked Adam to inquire about the news of the man Mullenstein in the Netherlands, hoping to have good news.


    After accepting the interview, Aldridge held a meeting of all the coaching staff, from the first team to the youth training coach. The meeting continued until the evening.


    The next day, the players started to return to the team. They returned to the training ground and relaxed their minds.


    The club hires a professional fitness coach after the New Year. This fitness coach will lead the players to do warm-up exercises before training to ensure that each muscle of the players is active.


    The fitness instructor is a female, in her early thirties, with a slender figure, named Fiona, her husband''s family has noble blood, his grandfather was once named a baron by the Queen of England, and his father has a jazz title.


    But this is nothing. There are not many British noble descendants, and mixed unsatisfactory can also be seen everywhere. Even the sons of princes in many European countries can only be happy and worry-free playboys. The lower noble descendants are long gone. Noble aura.


    When Fiona led the players to do the warm-up, Aldridge and his colleagues in the coaching staff would do the same, but the movements were not fast, but it was a little difficult, and there were always some movements to stretch the body to the limit. It was really a test. Bone ligaments.


    After the warm-up, Aldridge took the players to jog a few more laps.


    Then prepare to start today''s training.


    Unlike usual, Aldridge called the players out of the penalty area, let Keller go to the goal, and then called Makelele and Southgate out.


    Let the two put up a defensive position one after the other inside and outside the penalty area, then he placed the ball three meters in front of Makelele and turned back to the confused players: "Who came to show me What is your skill? The requirement is simple, kick the ball to the goal, no matter what method you use.


    The players looked at each other. Makelele in front of the ball had blocked the shooting angle, and Southgate was also a layer of defense. Does it depend on personal ability?


    Pire, who was eager to try out, stood in front of the ball. He touched the ball with his toes and deliberately gave Makelele space to grab. After Makelele moved forward, Pirere immediately turned the ball to a superb person, but he just Taking a step, Makelele half-turned and got stuck, then kicked the ball back to Southgate.


    Pires refused to admit defeat, and came back again. This time he had a faster frequency under his feet. He pretended to break to the left, pulled the ball and turned to break from the right. It was a bit like Marseille maneuver.


    Makklee, who lowered the center of gravity, was not deceived by him, but kicked the ball directly out of the sideline.


    Pire continued to try, until the fifth time, he passed the Makelele through a fake and then scored with a human ball, but after the turn, Makelele went with him to chase the ball, when Southgate grabbed Then the threat was steadily resolved.


    After trying again seven or eight times, Pire shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Boss, if there is only Claude, I still have some opportunities, but there is still a captain behind, it is not easy to handle, I think not many people can If they break through the two of them consecutively and they are activated on the spot."


    Aldridge smiled and patted his shoulder, and then looked at the other team members, only to see Pirlo came out, Aldridge was surprised.


    In front of the ball, Pirlo dipped the ball horizontally and then shot long.


    when!


    The ball hit the goal under the beam.


    Keller''s vision was blocked, and when he saw the ball, it was too late to save again.


    Makelele smiled bitterly with his hands on his hips: "Is this Lippi?"


    He was three meters away from the ball. Pirlo pulled the ball out of the spot and pulled it out of the way. Unexpectedly, he shot a long shot and scored. It really made Makelele cry.


    In fact, he just preconceived that Pirlo would pass, but Aldridge did not say that he must pass, he said he was hitting the goal.


    After Pirlo scored a goal and walked back to his teammates, Makelele cried, "Hey, come again."


    Pirlo turned his head and shook his head: "No need to try, I can''t pass you by starting it in place, and you won''t give me a shot angle anymore."


    Aldridge applauded and continued to let other players try.


    Larson walked up with a smile, and Makelele was facing the enemy. Larson''s explosiveness and starting speed were among the best in the team. He would not be taken lightly.


    But when Larson didn''t use the super fast start speed to dribble the ball, Makelele''s eyes widened and shouted: "I am grass! Another shameless!"


    Larson dribbles the ball horizontally and starts slowly, and then the speed is getting faster and faster. Makelele also chases away laterally. When Larson stopped and took the ball back to the middle, he used the speed to eat Makele raw. Rai, there is not necessarily a difference in the speed between the two, but Larson changed extremely fast, and during the game, the Makelele side defense also had a full-back defender. He now has to take care of his back and sides. Attention was shaken over, and Southgate was unable to keep up with Larson because of the speed. After all, the lateral space was too large, and Larson could run the ball casually.


    Southgate was thrown away during the sprint, Larsson kicked the ball in the penalty area and sent the ball into the corner of the goal.


    Piray exclaimed in his head: "Why didn''t I think of it?"


    Aldridge watched from the side. Although Larsen played smart and used space, he was technically only relying on speed. In the game, it was impossible to give him a chance to take the ball to the side and change direction. Running back to break through.


    After a few more attempts, Makelele and Southgate exchanged a lot of understanding, which is also different from the game. There are other teammates compressing space during the game. Now there are two people. At the beginning, there are some holes in the defense. But with more attempts, they are effectively complementary.


    By the fourth time, Larson began to fail.


    By the seventh attempt, Larson, who had sprinted several times, no longer had a speed advantage, and he could not form a threat to the goal.


    Of course, the defensive cooperation of Makelele and Southgate in tandem is the key to freezing him.


    Trezeguet came up to try, he used his body to protect the ball more, a little like a small tank, and pushed forward with a few times to push Makelele behind him, all because of the angle or I couldn''t bear to look directly at the harassment.


    Shevchenko, Solskjaer, Phillips, Nedved and others all came up to try, and the defensive duo were also replaced by Gattuso and Stam.


    The players are very interested in today''s training, and there is an interest in playing.


    Aldrich stood with other coaches and said lightly: "Did you see? Our players are not particularly prominent in local one-on-one ability, either relying on speed or body, using the technique of controlling the ball to deceive the opponent to obtain Offensive interests, Pires and Schneider do the best, but they are still not particularly good."


    Several coaches such as Jenson, Babu, Craig, and Torop frowned.


    According to their previous experience in training players in the Netherlands, whether it is one-on-one or three-on-three, the method is very simple. Give the ball to the players, and the players themselves will learn to be able, or rather capable The players will show such technology, and players without this technology will not try to avoid the coach seeing his mistakes and the evaluation plummets.


    In the training system of tactical flow, personal skills will not be overemphasized.


    But it does not mean that they do not practice technology.


    Stopping the ball, dribbling, short pass, long pass, shooting, etc. are all part of the technology, proficient in these will enhance the player''s sense of the ball.


    But the technique underfoot not only depends on the ball, but also requires inspiration and experience.


    In the traditional training system, the exploration of the players'' superior ability is more from the players'' own exploration, just like a journey of discovery by the explorers.


    The player suddenly had a sense of celestial sphere and inspiration. The epiphany learned to ride on a bicycle, just like discovering a new star in the universe, and then gradually became familiar with it and integrated it into his own knowledge.


    What Aldridge needs to change is to directly tell the players what stars are in the universe, and then through teaching, let them understand and learn, and finally blend together.


    Football skills are ever-changing, and in different positions on the court, facing different defensive positions and numbers, there are different strategies, which can be trained to strengthen the personal abilities of the players.


    Jenson worried: "If the players start to show off their skills, it will destroy the team tactics."


    Aldrich said seriously: "It''s going to be based on talent, so to speak, if Larson''s skill talent value is 85 and full value is 100, then Barak''s skill talent value may only be 70, but now the actual ability is pulled. Ailson may only have 55, and Barak only has 40. Turning their potential into ability, there will not be 11 players with a skill value of 100. Enhancing the players¡¯ personal skills does not affect the team¡¯s tactics. Tactical execution depends on the team Consciousness, they have team awareness and use better personal ability to serve the team, the two are complementary."


    The coaches looked at each other, and no one knew whether such training was right or wrong until there was no actual result. In the end, if it turned out to be wrong, it would not only affect the growth of the team, but even worsen the team that was difficult to form. .

 Chapter 139： Dont want to play football want to fight

    Adam gave Aldridge feedback on the Dutch side on Wednesday night, telling him that his contact with Ricardo Moniz was smooth, but before talking about basic treatment, the other side needs to have an in-depth discussion with Aldridge.


    In this era, the CEO of the club personally dispatched a non-head coach to exemplify sincerity.


    However, for Ricardo Moniz, the CM training he admired has little room for survival in the Netherlands. The tactical flow is like an orthodox orthodox, and the technical flow is a bit of a devil''s sway. It is both intolerable by the mainstream and also by power. Suppressed, Moniz did not know whether he could implement his training policy when he went to Millwall.


    Aldrich was happy to call each other. After the phone exchanged names, Aldridge made a very humble gesture and first apologized that he could not fly to the Netherlands to meet him in person because of the preparation for the weekend league. Then the two There was an exchange of work.


    Even if Gu Furen, the founder of CM training, made a rant: genius can be trained.


    But this is just the propaganda slogan. I really think that CM training has the magic of turning decay into a magic, then this world genius is too worthless.


    Teaching talents according to their aptitude is an important factor. Talented young players will be effective soon after training. Even talented mediocre players, even though they have developed certain technical skills through CM training, may not be able to meet the cruel standards of competitive football.


    Aldrich explained his coaching philosophy to the opponent and also introduced the team to the opponent.


    In fact, when Adam flew to the Netherlands to meet Moniz, he had already brought a video of the player training and competition highlights in the club.


    Moniz is very excited deep in his heart, because Millwall''s players are undoubtedly talented, and more importantly, these players are very young and extremely malleable, and most of them have not yet reached the age of technical stereotypes.


    It is impossible for Aldridge to allow players to train only technically every week. He will only add technical training for different players in training. There is not much time, two times a week, two to three hours each time.


    This is enough, because the technical guidance is often one-on-one or one-on-two, one-on-three, it is impossible for one coach to teach all players. For example, Trezeguet, his technical training is to serve the shot, the shot is placed in the first place, but if it is training Pirlo, it will certainly not be the primary goal of shooting.


    Moniz and Aldridge talked on the phone for nearly two hours. During the conversation, the two had an argument and also expressed their views, but they were all about football, not an off-topic for salary.


    Moniz submitted his resignation the next day, then packed his clothes and planned to come to London in mid-March.


    Before the start of the weekend league, Aldridge got another piece of good news. His news in London did not directly attract Mullenstein¡¯s attention, but in the Netherlands, someone in Mullenstein¡¯s circle of friends noticed, So he contacted the Millwall club and informed Audridge that Mullensteen is not in Europe today.


    He is coaching in Qatar, leading the Qatar U18 echelon.


    Aldridge called the other end of the earth, found Mullensteen, and then had a long conversation.


    In order to show the sincerity of Aldridge, Aldridge directly gave Mullenstin an administrative position within the team, youth technical director and coach.


    Salary is also the same as that of assistant coach Jensen, and provides a house in the community. He wants to live as long as he wants. Unless he moves away from here, the house is his, even if he leaves Millwall to find another job.


    In this way, Aldridge is also for the coaches needed by this team to not only teach the players, but also teach other coaches scientific scientific training methods.


    After winning the League Cup, Aldridge''s team was in good shape in March, playing an undefeated record, and only tied one game.


    In the standings, Millwall and Manchester United rushed forward, narrowing the points gap with Newcastle United little by little. Kevin Keegan¡¯s team became stumbling after the second half of the league. The trend of the media has also changed, thinking that Kevin Keegan and his team''s resistance to pressure is too weak. The leading advantage has changed from 10 points in the first half to 5 in the end of March. This is the difference between the two games.


    The arrival of Moniz and Mullenstine has enriched Millwall''s training. Both of them are senior CM training system researchers. Not only can they play the technical videos they have organized in the conference room for the players , And explain with the tactical diagram, at the same time, the two can also teach the players on the training ground, which makes many talented players in the team very excited, often asking for additional training after the training, listening to the coach¡¯s technology guide.


    The technical link is not only offensive, but also of defense. Aldrich''s previous high-level team defense, because the defense has never been one-on-one, but by tacit understanding and team consciousness, Italy is famous for the chain defense, the core is also the team With tactical cooperation, while the players'' offensive talents are guided and improved, they naturally put more pressure on the defensive players during training, and they can also improve the defensive players over the same period.


    This kind of virtuous cycle made Aldridge very gratified. Even more commendable, Moniz and Mullenstin came to the team less than a week and immediately set out to shape the playing habits of young players.


    Like Ronaldinho, Mullenstin is very optimistic about him, but Ronaldinho¡¯s weakness at this age is also obvious. He is used to using his right foot. Mullenstin began to train his feet to balance, not to let The left foot and the right foot have the same ability, but to make him more comprehensive and able to open the bow left and right, so that Ronaldinho''s technical characteristics can be played more unpredictable.


    Joe Cole''s right foot is his right foot, but his left foot is good for ball control. The coach''s advice to him is to make him sharpen his ball sense and teach him the most practical way of passing and dribbling.


    Corrections or instructions like these allow players to benefit a lot after trying for a while and have an intuitive feeling.


    Especially when Mullensteen started to guide Fanny, Fanny entered the territory, he used to rely on his sense of smell to find opportunities in the restricted area, but now, Mullenstin teaches him to shake out in the restricted area by the simplest actions The shooting angle, the movement need not be large, one-touch and one-button or half-turn to protect the space, etc., can make Fanny not only grab points in the penalty area, but also increase the threat after stopping the ball.


    The players can feel their improvement, their inner pleasure, and focus are placed on training and competition. This phenomenon is very good, and when they come to Millwall, Moniz and Mullenstin, they are often excited and sleepless. It has been more than a decade since the two of them engaged in the coaching industry, but they have never taught so many outstanding players, which makes them full of sense of accomplishment and expectation. They want to witness the power of these players when they step on the field in the future.


    The coach is such a mentality, it does not necessarily have to be a success. Of course, the trophy is unmatched, but to see the reputation of the players is also a kind of satisfaction that the layman can not feel.


    After entering April, Millwall began to distract the FA Cup, even though there is hope of winning the championship, but Aldridge is still unmoved, the cup is the main force, the cup and the league crash, depending on the opponent to decide whether to rotate , But the premise must be to ensure that the main force has sufficient rest time.


    The advancement of the League Cup is easy. Millwall has not encountered particularly strong opponents from beginning to end. This is also related to the fact that the traditional giants pay special attention to the League Cup.


    If you rank in the importance of England, then the league is bigger than the FA Cup is bigger than the League Cup.


    But in the FA Cup, Millwall began to encounter strong opponents in a row.


    First cut Blackburn and then met Newcastle United. The result of the lottery was announced before the match with Newcastle United. If Millwall is successfully promoted, then the opponents in the semifinals may encounter another giant: Manchester United.


    At the beginning of April, Millwall ushered in the second half of the East London derby at home.


    East London was once again in tension, the explosion-proof police guarded against riots, and the Millwall people''s provocative emotions began to erupt.


    Aldridge will not explain anything to Millwall fans. They are more emotionally upset than other fans. They like to provoke trouble, especially physical conflicts are commonplace.


    But as he promised in an interview before, if major riots occur on the court, he will ban trouble-making fans from visiting the Lion''s Cave Stadium.


    Redknapp came to the Lion''s Cave Stadium with West Ham as a guest. They heard provocations and screams and the feng shui took turns. It was time for them to feel hell.


    At home, Aldridge does not need to be afraid of arranging troops, especially on high-quality turf courts.


    When the hot East London Derby began, Aldridge stood on the sidelines and Redknapp also stood on the sidelines, looking a little nervous.


    West Ham United played very fiercely and savagely in this game, with frequent fouls and rough moves.


    "Once, twice, three times, four times, five times, Mr. Assistant Referee, I don¡¯t want to count them anymore, but please understand that this **** is our home court! Why doesn¡¯t the opponent have a yellow card? Will West Ham continue to interrupt the game with brutal fouls?"


    Aldridge couldn''t stand it anymore. He walked to the fourth official, frowningly accusing the referee of his inability to control the game.


    The fourth official was a little afraid to face Aldridge and could only do what he did without hearing.


    Redknapp also came over and shouted: "Our players have no malicious fouls, don''t you want to influence the referee by complaining!"


    His words were directed at Aldridge.


    As soon as the words fell, Aldridge turned around and screamed at Redknapp, "Go to your mother! If you want to play football, play football. If you want to play football, no one will be with you. If your team doesn''t want to play, Fighting, now, we go to the parking lot, it is shit, grass mud horse hammer!


    Redknapp was dumbfounded, looking at Aldridge''s stubborn finger player channel, his mouth was broken and he didn''t know what to say, he turned and walked back to the visiting coach''s seat.


    Millwall fans from the nearest stand applauded and cheered for Aldridge, and some mocked and ridiculed Redknapp, calling him a coward and a genius.


    Aldridge couldn''t stand the opponent''s killing tactics.


    It''s not surprising that there are villains on the court, but if you made up your mind to hurt your opponent from the beginning of the game, this is beyond the bottom line, not only the bottom line of football, but also the bottom line of morality.


    He had just walked back to his position, and there was a loud uproar from the stadium.

 Chapter 140： Angel and devil

    The Lion Cave Stadium burst into a terrifying sound of excitement, and then fell into a silence.


    Everyone''s attention focused on the left side of Millwall in the second half.


    Aldridge complained to the fourth official just now, did not see what was happening, but when he looked over there, he found out that today¡¯s starting teenager, Neil, shouted painfully on the ground with his legs, and he was still patting the turf with one hand.


    Not far from Neal, West Ham United forward Ian Dewey got up and was about to approach Neil, who was directly pushed to the ground.


    Southgate rushed up and pushed Daoyi violently, and bent over and roared to the ground.


    "Are you **** going to his leg? It''s a crime! Grass mud horse!"


    West Ham players saw that Dewey was pushed down by Southgate and immediately rushed over, and Millwall players also rushed up, and the two players saw a huge conflict breaking out.


    Goalkeeper Keller rushed over, he protected Neil who was falling to the ground, and shouted to the team doctor who ran into the sidelines: "Hurry up!"


    Jenson came to Aldridge with a solemn face, covering his mouth and telling him what had just happened.


    Neal catches the ball on the wing, and Deoy rushes past the fierce flying shovel. Neal jumps to hide, but Dey''s feet lift up and kick directly on Neal''s knee.


    If it weren¡¯t for Neil to jump and make his body unbalanced, instead of standing on the ground, otherwise he might be shoveled directly!


    But the current situation is not optimistic anymore. Keller directly made a substitution gesture towards the sidelines. A goalkeeper can judge with his eyes that Neil can''t stick to the game. It is conceivable that Neil''s injury has a visual impact.


    Aldridge asked Zambrotta to warm up, then he turned and rushed to the West Ham United coach seat, pointing at Redknapp and cursing angrily.


    "Redknapp, how did you **** teach players to play football? Do you still have a moral bottom line? Want to fight, we can go to the boxing ring! You **** still criticize Millwall as a rogue team? You Beasts without humanity, thugs, beasts!"


    Redknapp''s face was bluish, and he knew that he was unreasonable and he was unwilling to engage in a verbal battle with Aldridge or even make physical contact.


    But Aldridge rushed over and looked like he was about to tear old Lei, which not only surprised the West Ham United bench, but also surprised Millwall¡¯s coaching staff. Babu and Craig rushed to the left. A right embraced Aldridge''s arm and dragged him back.


    "Calm down, calm down, Aldridge, can''t pass anymore!"


    The fourth official also blocked Aldridge, warning him not to act irrationally.


    "The grass mud horse referee, your performance today is not as good as shit! How did the FA let you enforce today''s game? There were so many fouls before, if the idiot Barry Knight drew a few yellow cards, the mob of West Ham United Why are we getting bigger and bigger? My players are now being seriously violated and are hurt beyond the rules of football! You are also accomplices! Accomplices!"


    Aldrich became more and more excited, and even Craig had to hurry to cover his mouth.


    In this way, the situation is very bad. A lot of people have stood up on the bench for both the host and guest. The atmosphere is fierce, and Aldridge''s offense to the referee is obviously very bad for Milvoge.


    Aldrich did lose his mind at this moment, and was fed up with the fouls of the previous opponents. The referee turned a blind eye. Now his players have been maliciously violated, which makes him unable to restrain his inner anger.


    The referee Knight and the referee finally separated the players on the field, and then he immediately ran to the sideline, said nothing, and showed a red card directly to Aldridge.


    Craig, who was covering Aldridge''s mouth, didn''t do it anymore. He rushed to Knight in front of him, gritted his teeth with his head, said: "Did you **** collect money? Is there such a law enforcement game you did? Are you determined to kill Millwall?"


    The situation on the sidelines reversed extremely quickly in a short time.


    Aldridge was shown a red card but instead seemed to be awakened by a blow in the head. This time he was replaced by him to pull Craig back. Craig, who was still scolding the referee, was also shown the red card, and Jenson was on the side. Chaonet applauded and mocked, and was also sent off with a red card.


    Aldridge walked in front of the expressionless Knight and said in a deep voice: "You should be ashamed of your performance today! This is not the disaster of Millwall, it is your disaster!"


    After speaking, Aldridge waved his hand on the side of the court and made an offensive gesture. The players around Neal saw it. They were indignant and all understood what the boss''s instructions meant now.


    Destroy West Ham United.


    Not with fists.


    Use offensive!


    In a fair and honest way, football!


    Aldridge and assistant coach Jenson and first team coach Craig retired together. They stood in the player tunnel waiting for the team doctor. With the help of the staff, Neil was already lying down on the stretcher and was lifted down.


    Aldridge wants to accompany Neal directly to the hospital.


    Another team doctor came back early to tell him that Aldridge was hit by a conservative estimate.


    Knee cruciate ligament, torn meniscus.


    There is a sprained joint dislocation, etc., and it is necessary to check whether it is torn or broken. If the latter is the case, then a major operation is necessary.


    When Neil was lifted off the stretcher, he had put on an oxygen mask, his face was pale and sweaty, and he was unable to speak, nearly semi-conscious.


    The huge pain made the teenager who had just turned 18 years old unbearable.


    Aldridge, Jenson and Craig accompanied Neil to the hospital. When he was in the ambulance, Aldridge couldn''t help crying and covering his face with his hands.


    Because of his psychological age, in his eyes, the players are more like junior children. Neal was anesthetized and fell into a coma with a pale and bloodless face. The shocking congestion also twisted the knee fixed by the splint, which made Audrey Qi felt painful.


    He is only 18 years old!


    Will this ruin his future?


    Will this ruin his career?


    Aldrich didn''t know that he felt lost and helpless.


    He can''t expect everyone to be like Larson, to stand up again after the Celtics broke his leg while playing, and to maintain a very high competitive state at the age of 35.


    When he woke up, Aldridge did not know how to face him. He thought he was responsible for his injury, because Neil called him: boss.


    The Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium was full of hustle and bustle from the moment the conflict broke out, and Millwall fans were completely angry. They were never Mr. Obedient.


    No one likes us, we **** don''t care!


    But if someone hurts us, we will never be light!


    There was a riot quickly in the stands. The stands where West Ham United fans were located were attacked by Millwall fans on both sides. The security guard and the police struggled to maintain order in the aisle. The inner three floors and the outer three floors were like sandwiches. West Ham United defended in the middle, resisting the impact of Millwall fans.


    However, there are still many fans who were injured by throwing debris. There were not many fans who were hit by the keychain. The fans on both sides were injured. The riot police also entered the stadium and began to take away the injuries and the nearest emotional excitement. Fans.


    The game resumed order only after being suspended for nearly twenty minutes.


    The live broadcast explained that neither Taylor nor Gray knew what to say into the microphone, while Sky TV directly inserted advertisements to avoid the rioting.


    This is clearly not a positive aspect of the Premier League.


    Millwall really became a combination of angel and devil.


    The referee Knight showed two red cards before the game restarted and sent Southgate and Daoyi to the penalty.


    Daoyi''s red card is indisputable. Although he is a front tackle, it is a malicious violation, and Southgate was shown a red card because he unreasonably overturned Dao and caused player conflict.


    But neither side was convinced.


    West Ham believed that Millwall had physically abused them during the non-match, and Trezeguet hit Michael Hughes with his head.


    Millwall was even more angry, and referee Knight showed them four red cards.


    This is the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium, the home of Millwall!


    You are not required to blow the home whistle, at least your mother should be fair and strict!


    Knight may not regret it at this moment. In order to make the game under control, his law enforcement standards suddenly made a 180-degree turn, which immediately became extremely severe.


    Before the end of the first half, he showed three more yellow cards, all for West Ham United, because they fouled a lot.


    When the conflict broke out in the first half, Nedved was pulling from start to finish, helping the referee to pull the two players away.


    But it does not mean that he is not angry.


    But he knows better what the team needs, is victory, and only victory can make the opponent''s dirty more shameless and naive.


    Millwall will not fall in front of killing tactics!


    Throughout the second half, Nedved''s play was unparalleled. He attacked the offense in the front field with a shoulder pass, accurate passes, sharp breakthroughs, and timely shots with powerful shots.


    In the fifty-seventh minute of the game, he passed Larson''s first record. Three minutes later, his breakthrough caused Williams of West Ham to accumulate two yellow cards and was sent off.


    In the remaining thirty minutes of the game, Millwall firmly took the initiative. Nedved scored twice to help the team lock the 3-0 victory, but he did not celebrate after each goal, but Silently walked back to the middle circle and waited for the kick-off.


    The teammates did not celebrate, and walked back to the half like him.


    Not only do they have to win, but they have to score more goals to humiliate West Ham.


    Redknapp replaced two defensive players to increase the defense. At the Lions Stadium, he could not see the hope of winning. Millwall has maintained nearly 50 home unbeaten league games since last year!


    After the game, outside the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium, large-scale conflicts and riots broke out again between the fans of the two teams. The impact was worse than the first half of the league, with more injuries. More than 90% of the injured were West Ham United. Team fans.


    Returning from Millwall to West Ham United¡¯s site is just such a short distance across the Thames, but for West Ham United fans, it seems to be struggling. If there is no police to assist, I am afraid they will find On the way back home, there were fanatical lions fans chasing West Ham United around the surrounding blocks, and West Ham United fans who had singled out had to quickly take off their jerseys to avoid being under siege.


    But fans who lived in the radiation area of ??the Millwall club were shocked to find that the riots were more intense than they thought.


    From time to time in the streets, groups of strangers apparently came out, and people from Millwall fans who didn¡¯t want to participate were gathered together in a group, and then whispered to those wandering on the street. They seemed to be looking for hammers. The strangers who helped the fans were pointing.


    The vast majority of loyal supporters of the older generation of Millwall, who are devoted to their own lives, will tell the young people in a heavy tone: those outside are real football hooligans, they come from all over the country, in order to fight on this day. .


    This kind of thing was not uncommon in the 70s and 80s, and the chaotic scene of rogue riots came to East London again.

 Chapter 141： Say what you say

    Although the Millwall Club has its own medical department, it will naturally send players to the hospital when it encounters serious injuries, especially sudden injuries on the court.


    The doctors in the club will rush to the hospital to understand the situation, and cooperate with professional doctors to discuss the treatment plan.


    Aldridge was sitting in the corridor of the hospital with tears on his face, and the whole person was extremely depressed and sad.


    àâàâàâàâ!


    The rapid footsteps came, and it sounded like the crisp sound of high heels.


    Melanie, who got the news in London, rushed to the hospital for the first time. When she saw Aldridge sitting in a chair, her footsteps slowed down and walked in front of him. Then she reached out and gently hooked his neck. He put his head in front of him, then knelt down halfway, holding his face softly: "He will be fine."


    Aldridge closed her eyes and hugged her waist with both hands, getting tighter and tighter...


    After a while, Melanie sat down next to him, she turned off her phone, and stayed with him until late at night.


    The hospital¡¯s inspection report came out, and Thompson, the club¡¯s medical director, told Aldridge seriously.


    Neil had to undergo surgery and the cruciate ligament was broken.


    This operation is difficult and the risk of failure is high.


    Aldridge could do nothing but silence.


    When Neal woke up, Aldridge was sitting in the ward. When Neal opened his eyes and saw Aldridge, he asked the first sentence to make Aldridge feel like a knife.


    "Boss, have we won?"


    Aldridge burst into tears and nodded with a smile: "Won, Pavel, they have all been here, you see, they sent you a lot of flowers, they said they will wait for you to return to the team, our The road is just beginning, you can''t be left behind."


    Neal''s pale face showed a smile, saying: "Of course, I will not fall behind. Am I hurt badly?"


    Aldrich shook his head and said: "It''s not heavy, you can recover with just an operation, but the rest period will be longer, you must get up and face all of this, Lucas, you are the best in the team. You must not be a joke by your teammates, the team will wait for you, and I will wait for you to come back."


    "Oh."


    Hearing Aldridge''s words, Neil actually knew in his heart that his injury was not serious.


    This made him a little frustrated.


    Aldridge can¡¯t expect Neil to cheer up a few words at this time. For players, there will be a period of depression in the early stages of injury. This is normal, but during the recovery period, the whole person¡¯s mentality must be positive. This will help players return to the game.


    Aldrich informed his family that he would visit him regularly and that his teammates would continue to encourage him.


    The next morning Odrich left the hospital accompanied by Melanie.


    After returning home for a morning, when he returned to the club in the afternoon, Adam went directly to him and his face was ugly.


    "After yesterday¡¯s game, the entire East London was in chaos. The chaos continued into the middle of the night. The police arrested many fans. Most of our fans. The FA announced that they would investigate the stadium riots. We are likely to face the remaining home game closure. The penalties for the stands, in addition, the boss and the other two coaches may also face fines and fines."


    Aldridge sat behind the office with his eyes closed and pondered. There was silence in the office, and the needle was audible.


    About ten minutes later, Audric said lightly: "Study the video of the game, which fans in the stands proactively pick things up, make a list, and if they involve extreme fan organizations, they will also investigate. In addition, the off-site troubles caused the trouble. Or, go to the police station to check the situation. It¡¯s not so fierce that it¡¯s not necessarily all Millwall fans.¡±


    Adam nodded his understanding, and asked, "What about the FA?"


    "The club put together a written document and submitted it to the referee Barry Knight. The coaching staff has banned the game. If there is no additional game, it will not appeal. If the game is suspended, it will be said."


    Aldridge let Adam go to work after he finished. He needed to be quiet. Although Melanie was with him at home, he didn''t want to listen to others comforting him at this time because he was worried about others, Neil.


    After the East London derby, Millwall will usher in the FA Cup quarter-finals in the middle of the week, against Newcastle United.


    Aldrich forced his work to forget his worries. After this round of competition, the Premier League standings have undergone amazing changes.


    Newcastle United visited Anfield and played a shocking 4:3. The home team was in front, the Reds slaughtered the magpie, and the picture of Kevin Keegan buried behind the billboard became a classic picture. Of course, this is Reverse classic.


    This time the Premier League was lively. After Manchester United defeated Newcastle United last month, Newcastle United had a tendency to crash. With five rounds left in the league, Manchester United behind them is only two points away from Newcastle. Mill The gap between Wall and Newcastle United is only three points.


    The schedule is the most beneficial for Manchester United, because Manchester United have played against Millwall and Newcastle United, but Millwall will also be a guest and magpie in the penultimate round of the league.


    Since Cantona''s comeback, especially in the second half of the league, from February onwards, Manchester United have been under the leadership of the Old Trafford Kings, and they have not lost in more than two months.


    The Premier League title has become fierce, and the last five leagues are left. All three teams may win the championship, but Millwall has produced a lot of negative news because of the East London Derby, making them uncertain about the future of the final sprint.


    At the press conference before the FA Cup on Tuesday, the focus of reporters'' questions was still around the league.


    The FA is overwhelmed because Aldridge not only accused Westham United of being dirty at the press conference, but also accused Barry Knight of poor law enforcement.


    "Times" reporter David Miller asked Aldridge a question to calm down the audience.


    "Mr. Hall, you once said in an interview that if there is a riot at the home of Millwall, you will not condone this behavior, then now, as the owner of Millwall, how would you use your power ?"


    The reporters all stared at Aldridge to see how he answered.


    Many people were gloating in their hearts, thinking that it was Aldridge pretending to be a big deal a few months ago, thinking that his fans were a good bird. If they spoke out, they would be overwhelmed by water. Now let''s see how he ends.


    Aldridge slowly picked up a document and opened it, saying softly: "Millwall investigated the fan riots at home in the last round of the league and made the following decision based on the facts, because For privacy issues, I cannot publish the names of the fans and the names of the fan organizations. What I can tell you is that Millwall will ban 238 perpetrators of the stand riot from entering the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium to watch the ball for the next three years. For season season tickets, we will refund the fees for the remaining few home games. At the same time, three fan organizations were judged as extreme organizations by me, which seriously affected the order of the stands. Lions Club Stadium prohibited members of these three fan organizations from entering The stadium, this decision, is permanent. Millwall¡¯s long-term development objective is to ensure the safety and comfort of fans watching the game. We welcome the fans who support us to come to the stadium to cheer for us, but we cannot accept fans in the stands. Provoking a misfortune and affecting the personal safety of others, thank you, today''s press conference ends here."


    Aldridge took the document and turned away.


    The reporters in the audience raised their hands and kept calling his name, asking for more questions.


    After confirming that Aldridge would not look back, the reporters put their hands down and looked at each other for a while.


    Come true?


    Aldridge really did face the fans!


    Doesn¡¯t this mean self-cutting money?


    Fans come in to watch the ball to give Millwall money.


    In this matter, Aldridge thought very clearly and could not be soft.


    Among the three extreme fan organizations, BushWackers and East London Derby are the most violent. They sit on the closest position to fans of West Ham United, and wait for the opportunity to fight with West Ham United.


    Like this kind of fans who don¡¯t usually take the stage, Aldridge feels that they are only making trouble under the banner, and most of Millwall¡¯s fans have become violent because they are affected by this organized and extreme organization. .


    When in the hustle and bustle of confrontation, the sensible people are usually infected by the people around them. Some people pick their heads like a fire in a prairie fire. If they are not extinguished in time, the fire will be unable to contain it.


    To solve the problem, we must punish the root cause, except for the first evil, the painless condemnation has no binding force at all.


    Members of the three extreme fan organizations were banned from the show, and those members of the organization have been on Millwall''s blacklist.


    The announcement of Millwall¡¯s punishment decision that day immediately aroused the hostile reaction of the fans. In particular, the fans of these three extreme organizations led more than a hundred people to surround the apartment of Aldridge. They pulled up the banner of protest, and at the same time Shout into the apartment and let Aldridge get out and give them an explanation.


    Aldridge was wearing headphones and listening to music and reading at home, not caring what happened outside.


    That evening, in the back seat of a London cinema, Andrew sat in a seat watching a boring romantic movie. There were not many viewers in the cinema. They were all couples, each sitting in a dark corner.


    A short time later, a middle-aged man in a coat and hat sat next to Andrew and whispered: "Mr. Hall, what are you doing to meet me here? If you want to plead for those troublesome fans, sorry, I can not do it."


    Andrew stared directly at the big screen in the movie and said lightly: "Secretary Trand, you are wrong, I am not pleading for them. There is a box under my seat with a document with some people''s names on it. And information, my brother hopes that the London police can better maintain law and order in East London, so try to make these people as good citizens as possible. If they can¡¯t do it, please do it according to law, London detention center or prison If there is not enough space, the Hall family can make contributions to build a new prison for social stability."


    Trand had a bit of a brain, and hesitated a moment later, saying: "Of course we will do our job well."


    "Okay, please don''t let us down. We want to see a stable and peaceful East London. This film is not bad, but some Plato, I can''t stand it anymore, goodbye."


    Andrew got up and put on his trench coat and left with his hands in his pockets.


    Tlander stooped down to find a suitcase under the seat, put it on his lap and looked down, startling him.


    Inside the box, there is a hundred thousand pounds, with a document under the money.


    boom.


    Tland immediately closed the box and stared left and right to make sure that no one saw him, and no one jumped out and got caught and bribed him.


    After struggling intensely for some time, Tlander took the suitcase and sneaked out of the cinema from another exit.


    Taking people''s money and eliminating disasters for others, and doing things that are not illegal, but the Hall family encourages the Trand to do his job better.

 Chapter 142： Decadent young handsome Beckham

    The FA''s ticket was issued very quickly, and there was quite a quick posture to calm down as soon as possible.


    The three coaches Aldridge, Jenson and Craig suspended two games.


    Southgate suspended three games with a direct red card and four additional penalties. A total of seven games were suspended.


    Deyi directly suspended three games with a red card and added six games, for a total of nine games.


    Another Millwall stadium management failure, riots in the stands, fined 180,000 pounds.


    This is the biggest fan riot in the stadium since the establishment of the Premier League in 1992. Another FA football ticket has not yet been announced. It is for the fans of both parties in the game because police were injured in the conflict. During the 15-minute game suspension, even the police on horses rushed into the stadium.


    The FA has cracked down on football hooligans. Millwall and West Ham United are the cradle of football hooligans. It is precisely this opportunity to take remedial action. The unpublished list is rumored to have more than 400 fans on the list, as long as They were photographed in a physical conflict with the police and will be sentenced to capital punishment by the FA: life ban. In fact, he can no longer step into the football stadium organized by the FA.


    Fans with hurtful behavior will also face prosecution.


    Aldridge and his two assistants spoke badly to the referee. The FA only sentenced him to two suspensions. In fact, Millwall cooperated with the action against football hooliganism to make the FA high.


    In any case, in the final sprint stage of the Premier League championship, if Millwall is given too severe penalties, it is easy to fall to help Manchester United or Newcastle United, which will arouse greater dissatisfaction among the fans.


    Barry Knight, the law enforcement referee in the center of the whirlpool, was immediately protected by the FA and reduced him to a lower-level league for law enforcement. Even if he returns to the Premier League in the future, it is estimated that it will be difficult to enter the Millwall playing field. .


    England¡¯s suspension rules are very different from other European leagues, that is, the player¡¯s suspension is effective in domestic events, not the league and the cup. Therefore, Millwall challenged Newcastle United FA Cup 1 midweek. /4 game, Aldridge can not command the team on the sidelines.


    Newcastle United have just lost to Liverpool, and the gap between Manchester United and Millwall has narrowed to a goal.


    Even if Aldridge is suspended, one of the team''s main players is seriously injured, and the captain is suspended, Kevin Keegan still sends most of the bench players at home. He must prepare for the last five games of the league.


    Millwall hadn''t come out because of his bad breath. Aldridge made Elgra replace Southgate and Zambrotta replaced Neil. He was a guest at St. James Park Stadium.


    Aldridge sat in the stands and accompanied by FA officials to watch Millwall''s 2-1 away win against Newcastle United and headed to the FA Cup semi-finals.


    Kevin Keegan didn''t mind losing the FA Cup, he was even a little bit happy in his heart, because Millwall really met Manchester United in the semi-finals of the FA Cup, in any case, Millwall and Manchester United have a fight The life-and-death battle of the final tickets will benefit Newcastle United for the final five rounds of the Premier League.


    Aldridge did not show a happy expression on the team''s return to victory.


    Stepping into the semi-finals does not mean winning the championship, there is nothing to be happy about.


    Since there will be a European Championship this summer, and it will be played in England, England has high expectations for the national team and hopes to win the trophy at the door. Therefore, in order to give the national team players more time to prepare, it is also the host country to arrange the stadium early To welcome the arrival of national powerhouses, the English League will be over at the beginning of May, which is more than half a month earlier than the odd number of years, so the season in April this season is very dense.


    On May 3, the Premier League ended.


    In other words, Millwall has four Premier League games and one FA Cup semi-final in the next 20 days.


    Aldridge returned to London to give the team a day off. At home this weekend, the league will face Aston Villa. He will send a substitute to play in the FA Cup semi-final with Manchester United next week.


    Because of Neil''s serious injury and fan riots, Aldridge came home and sat on the sofa, as if he didn''t want to do anything.


    Dingdong!


    Doorbell rang.


    Aldridge got up to open the door, and there stood a man with a tired look that seemed even worse than him.


    He was a little fatter, almost as tall as Aldridge, wearing a shirt and trousers, with a bright forehead and some gratitude on his head.


    "Raphael?"


    Aldridge looked at the visitors at night in surprise.


    He never thought that one day he would see this person in front of his house. It was expected that they should meet again in the Premier League. He was blue and the other party was red.


    The person here is 36-year-old Rafael Benitez.


    Benitez, who had already begun to thank, looked tired, looked at the living room, and said, "Would you like me to sit in?"


    Aldridge raised his eyebrows and gave way, reaching out and asking: "Sit casually, what do you drink? Coffee or tea? Or water?"


    "Is there any wine?"


    Benitez''s mental state was slightly decadent, and he asked quietly after sitting down.


    Aldridge went to get two bottles of beer, one for each. After sitting on the sofa, Benitez looked at the beer in his hand and smiled bitterly: "Aren''t you a rich kid? Why would you ask me to drink beer?"


    Aldrich didn''t have a good time talking, and said casually: "What do you want to drink? Go and see for yourself. There is a thermostatic cabinet next to the refrigerator with red wine in it. Are you working as an assistant to Bosque?"


    Aldridge didn¡¯t know any big guys in Spain a few years ago, but he met Benitez who was holding coaching in Real Madrid B team. The friendship is not bad.


    Benitez took a sip of wine against the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling and whispering: "Did you not read the news? Bosque was the acting head coach for two months, I haven''t been in Real Madrid anymore ."


    "So what team are you coaching now?"


    Aldridge knows Benitez will coach Valencia and Liverpool in the future, but it is still unclear where this product is now.


    Before returning to London in 1994, Benitez coached Real Madrid B team, the record is very good.


    Benitez said in a somewhat bleak tone: "Valladolid invited me to coach, and I went, and was fired."


    "Not a good record?"


    "It''s not unsatisfactory, it''s very bad, more than half of the league, the team bottomed in La Liga."


    Benitez took another sip of wine, as if he had come here today to relax.


    Aldrichto asked with his chin: "Are you unemployed now? Nowhere to go?"


    Benitez replied: "Yes, there are several invitations from the West B team."


    "Oh, did you come to London on vacation? Then go back to Spain in the summer to take over the team?"


    Benitez suddenly straightened his chest, staring straight at Aldridge, and looked at Aldridge slightly hairy.


    "I don''t understand a question."


    "What''s the problem?"


    "Aldrich, than tactics, I don¡¯t think I will lose to you. I should have an advantage over you in terms of age and seniority, but why did you coach the team so successfully? My team is terrible? I I even think that the players I coach are not as good as the guys of Real Madrid B team. They simply don¡¯t understand what I¡¯m talking about. It¡¯s harder for them to perform tactics than to let Niu Fei go to the sky. But Millwall¡¯s overall coordination is so smooth. Too much outstanding personal ability, why can your tactics be implemented in the team? Is it because you bought a group of obedient children?"


    Aldridge chuckled and leaned on the sofa to start drinking.


    "Why are you laughing?"


    "It''s nothing. I think you''ve just suffered a setback, and you have been mentally hit. Maybe you will find the reason when you calm down."


    "You still tell me."


    Benitez stared at Aldridge, his eyes shining brightly.


    Aldridge asked enthusiastically: "How many years have you been in Real Madrid?"


    "A player or a coach?"


    "coach."


    "Eight years."


    "Yeah, you have been in Real Madrid for eight years. At the beginning, you coached the U19 echelon, then the B team. Many players on the team know you, respect you, what you say, the players listen to you, you also understand The characteristics of the players, it is not a problem to polish the team. The players can of course implement your tactical ideas, so you can lead the B team to play well in the West B League. But you went to a new team, those players Who is your bird? People have a set of styles of play, I think you will make a big deal of reform after you go, let¡¯s not say whether the characteristics of the players can adapt to your tactics, I think the team will not care if it encounters difficulties. What do you say, kick back the set that they are familiar with, and then there will definitely be a conflict between you and the player, the team''s record can be imagined."


    Benitez opened his eyes wide and asked, "Are you also paying attention to La Liga?"


    Aldridge whispered, "I don''t have time to worry about that leisure. What attracts me to La Liga? Oh, I will take a look at the Spanish national derby. Others, I''m really not interested."


    Benitez touched the top of his semi-bald head and sighed: "You are basically right. I don''t understand. As long as the players execute my tactical ideas, I know their ability is like that. , But at least relegation is not a problem, how can it be the bottom of the league? I¡¯m doing it for them."


    "I think you are too idealized, so to speak, the most advanced tactics are not suitable for all teams. S-level teams can use the best tactics, A-level teams may not be able to use, B-level **** Teams are even less useful. Some teams can only play two wings and fly, some teams can only play defensive counterattacks, and some teams can only play long pass rushes, not you take a set of advanced tactics The system can be applied to all teams, which is often counterproductive. The right tactics, suitable players, the combination of the two is the best, and basically the latter determines the former, you can only go according to the players Develop tactics instead of using tactics to transform most players. Unless you have no pressure for points, you also have absolute authority on the team. Even so, you need players to cooperate."


    Aldrich''s understatement gave Beniteston a feeling of indoctrination, and his eyebrows spread out when he looked down.

 Chapter 143： All three lose points

    Benitez borrowed alcohol to relieve his sorrow, and he was not drunk with beer, as if complaining and as if from the heart, he said in a deep voice: "I really envy you."


    Aldridge lifted Erlang''s legs and said, "What can you envy? My coaching team is also on thin ice, and I am worried every day."


    "Tell me about your team building process. After I was fired, I watched a month''s game video at home. I wanted to find out why I failed, but I couldn''t find an answer to convince myself."


    Coaching has the potential to become an excellent head coach. There must be a tenacity in my heart.


    Aldridge got up and took a few bottles of beer on the coffee table, stupefied: "The only place I have an advantage over you is that when I took over the team, I had the power to push the team down and rebuild it. At that time, Millwall It is the top six players in the League One, and there are many strong players in the team, but I can only let them go, because they will not listen to me, and the way of thinking of playing is not short-term, so I I cleaned the team and went to buy the players I wanted. No, it should be the best player I can buy."


    Benitez raised his hand to interrupt him, confused: "What do you mean? I''ve watched Millwall''s game live, your players are great, why, aren''t they what you want?"


    Aldrich shook his head and said: "No, it can only be said that I choose the best under limited conditions. Look at the players on my team. Where did they come from before? Larsen dug from the Netherlands. Trezeguet was brought back from Argentina, Schneider came from the German second team, Nedved came from Eastern Europe, Stam came from the Dutch underdogs. In the main lineup, Thuram, Southgate, Mark Leila, Piley, and Larson, these people spent almost 10 million pounds! Two years ago, Fleet Street was laughing at me as a silly upstart, but I want to dig Ajak The main force of Slovakia, to dig up the good players of the Italian team, to dig up the star of the Ligue 1 popularity, not to say that the club sells or sells, how many players will be willing to come to Millwall? That¡¯s it, if it¡¯s not that I can¡¯t follow the contract Young players have signed the auto-cancellation clause for failed upgrades, and they may not come! At first they came here for the gold rush! The salary I gave them was several times or even tens of times their original salary."


    Benitez''s head turned a little bit, and asked indifferently: "But obviously you made it, how much is Larson worth now? How much is Nedved?"


    Aldrich shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You can''t count that way. Let me give you a simple example. In 1992, George Weah transferred to Paris Saint-Germain. What''s the value? Five million dollars. In 1994, how much did I buy Thuram? ?3 million pounds! And Weah is a forward, Thuram is a defender, and you are replaced. You must feel that my brain is flooded! I was spending more than 1 million pounds on Pires. You think the other club owner will Wouldn¡¯t it be a loss? I also spent more than two million pounds on Makelele. He was a full-back on the team."


    Benitez was stunned. In this era, the value of offensive players is significantly higher than that of defensive players. Even in Italy, where defense is famous, defensive players at most narrow the gap with the value of offensive players.


    Zidane, who will move to Juventus in the summer of 1996, what is the value of the transfer? 3 million euros, of course, there is no euro at this time, which is calculated based on the exchange rate, but this value is also related to the player''s contract period.


    Although the current Ligue 1 position in European football is higher than in later generations, it is not the center of European football.


    Aldrich¡¯s difficulty in buying players is obvious, with high salaries and high prices digging up a few mainstays, and then others are introducing undiscovered geniuses from the second- and even third-tier European leagues.


    Benitez wanted to understand and said, "In this way, it will be easy for you to build a team."


    Aldridge snorted, waved at him and got upstairs, Benitez put down the bottle and followed behind him.


    On the second floor, there is a room where Aldridge specializes in researching his team. The shelves of the room are filled with video tapes, which are all the team''s games and training videos.


    He pointed to a row of video tapes on the shelf and said, "When you watch all of Millwall''s last season''s games in order, and then watch this season''s games in order, you know how I build the team. Now."


    Benitez was very interested in the videotape. He sat on the single sofa and started playing the videotape. Moreover, he did not take himself as an outsider. He picked up a notebook and a pen from the desk beside him, and watched the videotape. Write and write on the notebook.


    In more than 90 minutes of video, when he fast-forwarded or slowed down deliberately, Aldridge accompanied him.


    In the middle of the night, Benitez looked back at Aldridge after watching the first ten games of Millwall last season: "Your team''s initial tactics were too monotonous?"


    Aldridge shrugged and said, "What do you think? You can buy players and then you can make them perfect directly? When these players arrive at the team, it''s a piece of sand. You need to water, blend, and step by step to shape what you want. The castle, the sand won¡¯t turn into a sand castle by itself."


    Benitez understood at this point what Aldridge meant by walking on thin ice.


    The team needs a shaping process at the beginning, and there is also a sequence problem, whether it is from the offense or the defense. There is no absolute difference between the two, but both need patience and skill. Aldridge just chose Start with the defense first, and some coaches can tune the team''s offense at the beginning, and then gradually make up for the defense in the process of breaking through, finally reaching the balance of offense and defense. Both are the same way.


    Aldridge''s team is young, and the heavy blow of defeat is unbearable, so he can only start from the defense.


    "I went to bed."


    Aldridge turned away after saying hello. Benitez just nodded and continued to watch the video. For these coaches who studied tactics, once they began to study the game video, they entered a crazy like a demon. State, often unable to feel the passage of time, only to stop when the mentally exhausted brain is blank, Benitez is now in a state of mental excitement, he wants to study the secret of Millwall¡¯s success, so even when the time comes Late at night, he did not intend to go to rest.


    Aldrich only greeted him when he was on vacation and he still had a job. If he didn''t greet him well, he would sleep.


    The next day, when Aldridge went out, Benitez was sleeping on the sofa in that studio. Aldrich ignored him and went back to the team to host the training.


    Because the club also issued tickets to the fans who caused the incident, the relationship between Millwall and the fans has become very tense in the past few days.


    The fans split into two factions, one was a demonstration led by extreme fans, and the other was a group of fans led by Brady''s Roar, who held up banners outside the training ground.


    On one side, "Aldrich, you failed us!"


    On the other side, it reads "Always support Mad Lion!"


    It seems that the two do not match, and there is no meaning of confrontation, but Aldridge is the club owner after all, and the declaration of the roar is cheering Aldridge.


    The atmosphere outside the training ground distracted the players. After all, the noise outside the court was annoying.


    But a few days later, the extreme fans who made trouble in East London were taken away by the police for investigation. Before the arrival of the weekend league, the voice of the opponents became weaker and weaker, because the leaders among them all entered the police station.


    The Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium was full, and Millwall¡¯s stadium was originally small. With the sudden increase in the team¡¯s reputation, the stands were full, and neutral fans couldn¡¯t buy tickets if they wanted to see the ball.


    In the penultimate round of the league, Millwall played against Aston Villa at home.


    This is the third match between the two teams this season.


    Once in the league and once in the League Cup final, Millwall''s record was one tie and one win.


    Aldridge sat in the box to watch the ball with his father, and Benitez also appeared beside him to watch the game.


    When Aldridge heard the commentary on Aston Villa''s appearance list and formation on the box TV, he suddenly felt speechless.


    His heart was hazy, and he originally planned to send a substitute to play this game, but yesterday the locker room collectively asked for the main force to play. The players naturally wanted to impact the league championship. Against their collective will, they can only choose to compromise.


    Aston Villa is now ranked fifth in the Premier League. Although from the traditional rankings, they only hope to enter the European stadium next season if they break into the top four, but the FA Cup semi-finals list is released, except for Manchester United and Millwall. In addition, the other semi-finals are Liverpool and Nottingham Forest. Unless Nottingham Forest can finally win the cup, otherwise the top four teams will receive a ticket to the European Winners¡¯ Cup, and the league will receive a fifth Tickets for the League Cup.


    There is little hope of entering the top four, because the first group is Newcastle United, Manchester United, Millwall and Liverpool are left behind by the top three, but Liverpool can pull the team behind by a gap of six points, so, The competition for fifth place in the league is fierce.


    In addition to Aston Villa, which is temporarily fifth, there are Arsenal, Everton, Blackburn, Tottenham, Nottingham Forest. The smallest gap between them is the tie, the largest four points, the league has In the five rounds, everyone hopes to get the fifth place.


    Because of this cruel situation that requires every point, Brian Little followed the 532 defensive formation in the League Cup finals, and today was a more thorough visit to the Lion''s Cave Stadium with a 541 formation.


    The attitude is obvious: I just want a point!


    The game turned into a half-court offensive and defensive drill. Millwall faced Aston Villa''s copper walls and iron walls with nothing to do, especially when the opponent strengthened a midfielder.


    Benitez looked at Millwall''s attack and couldn''t get in, turned around and said to Aldridge: "The opponent''s formation should be 5131. If more detailed, it is 14131."


    Aldridge nodded, and Aston Villa was really determined to have a draw.


    In addition to Simika''s dragging the central defender, midfielder Taylor played a similar role as a dragging central defender behind the three midfielders, except that he swept back and forth in the midfield, which was originally defensive in the three midfielders. On the basis, Aston Villa''s defensive system has really become a solid fortress with double insurance inside and outside.


    Millwall''s offense was only smooth on the periphery, but when he came to the danger zone, he was drowned in the dense defense of Nakamura.


    "How to break?"


    "I can only rely on luck. Millwall''s tactical system this season is difficult to face intensive defense, the wing is strong, the middle is a little weak, and next season I will make the wing as strong as the middle."


    Aldridge is a little helpless, this is a problem of tactical system, just like Arsenal playing 532 if faced with intensive defense, then most will be a dull 0:0.


    Millwall''s current 442 has a strong side, but the middle road only depends on Nedved. Some strongmen are difficult. Under the situation of being marked by the opponent at all times, he does not have much room to play.


    In the end the game was fixed at a score of 0:0.


    In the whole game, Aston Villa scored a zero-footed shot, Millwall shot only 17 goals with only five feet.


    Aston Villa and Millwall each scored one point.


    I originally thought Millwall had won the championship, but the news from the other side was incredible.


    Newcastle United drew Leeds United and Manchester United lost to Southampton away.


    Millwall still maintained a three-point gap with Newcastle United, but evenly scored with Manchester United, relying on the advantage of more goal difference than the opponent to climb to the second place in the standings.

 Chapter 144： The foundation of a lifetime

    It was originally a tie-breaker, but after the game, Fleet Street sang praises for Millwall.


    What is the front page title of the Sun?


    "The Triple Crown is close at hand, Millwall will create the greatest miracle in the history of English football! ¡·Other media have also analyzed Millwall''s prospects for the championship, and believe that Millwall has become the number one favorite to win the championship!


    The reason is simple. With the last four rounds left in the league, Millwall has the most goal difference. If they can win the last four games, they will undoubtedly win the Premier League championship. Trophy!


    Millwall is now evenly tied with Manchester United and has 7 more goal difference than Manchester United.


    3 points behind the leader Newcastle United, 13 goals more than Newcastle United!


    Yes, in theory, as long as Millwall wins the last four league games, then they will become the Premier League champions, unless Manchester United can score 8 more goal difference than they are if they also win.


    In the penultimate round of the league, Millwall will challenge Newcastle United as a guest, win the game, tie the points with Newcastle United, and then top the list.


    Aldridge discovered with headaches that the players seemed to think they would win the Premier League title.


    What a miracle is this?


    The newly promoted horse won the championship, and there is a chance to win the FA Cup, plus the league cup already in hand.


    Triple Crown!


    Aldrich¡¯s shortcomings of inexperience were exposed again.


    He didn''t know how to make a choice at this time.


    Psychologically, he hopes that the team will remain calm and face the remaining four leagues with a normal heart, because only in this way can they play better, but he can''t say this to the players, which will undoubtedly hurt morale.


    He can only inspire the team.


    The cup is a single game, the championship trophy is there, you win, it is yours.


    But the league is different. Not only do you want to win, but you also have to stare at your competitors. Although it doesn''t make sense, people are involuntarily distracted.


    Millwall has a better goal difference than Manchester United, but who can guarantee that Manchester United will not go crazy in the last four games and score the number of goals against the sky?


    The King of Cantona, Old Trafford, has been in a crazy state since February. Except for helping the team, everyone knows that he is fighting for another international competition for France at the age of thirty. The last train of the European Cup, because of that breath, made his play unbelievable.


    The challenge before Aldridge is a choice. The FA Cup has reached the semi-finals, winning two games, winning the championship, and having four games in the league. There is a good chance of winning the championship.


    In addition to encouraging the morale of the team, he cannot give any biased instructions to the players.


    Play one game after another.


    After the league ended, Aldridge received a call from Andrew. Sky TV had a talk show asking him to go. Aldridge considered it and decided to participate in the show. He also hoped to remind the team from the side and warn the outside world through interviews: The league is not over, Millwall is nothing, don¡¯t push the championship trophy to us, all you give is fart!


    The Sky TV program used to find some famous football players for interviews, to talk about the insights of the England game and to analyze the prospects of the game. Most of the recent issues have focused on the national team. After all, the European Cup held in the homeland is approaching.


    Tonight, the host was changed temporarily, and Aldridge also knew that it was Jason Ferguson who worked on Sky TV.


    In fact, the reason why Sky TV hired Jason is clear. Jason is Ferguson¡¯s beloved son. Once he can get some latest news about Manchester United from his mouth. Second, he has a special status. Third, Jason knows his father. Whenever the Manchester United game is broadcast live, there will be Jason in the Sky TV workshop. He will know when Ferguson is angry and when he is smug. When the game situation changes, Jason will always remind the live camera The flight crew immediately aimed the lens at Ferguson and the timing was just right.


    Before the show, the two met in the passage beside the stage.


    "Long time no see, Aldridge."


    Jason Ferguson politely reached out to Aldridge.


    The two may only meet once or twice a year. They also nodded at some parties, but the other party had a good relationship with Andrew, and Aldridge also showed some enthusiasm to shake hands with him.


    "Wait a minute, I might ask some embarrassing topics."


    Ferguson gave Aldridge a vaccination ahead of time. Speaking of that, on this three-point acre in London, his social circle had to be mixed with Andrew''s butt, and he could not offend Aldridge.


    This is a job requirement. Many of the talk shows in Europe and the United States are impromptu. They are not afraid of guest ugliness, or the guests are embarrassed to have ratings.


    The more able to anger or make guests off, the more interesting.


    Aldrich understood this and nodded indifferently.


    When the show started, Jason first walked to the stage. The stage was arranged like a living room, with two single sofas and a large screen behind. Jason stood in the center and introduced the guests today.


    He is a 19-year-old football coach.


    He has a handsome appearance.


    He is also a charity supporter.


    The team he led made all the Premier League coaches feel a headache.


    Who is he?


    The audience chanted in unison: Aldrich Hall.


    At this time, Aldridge came to the stage with cheers and applause, smiling and shaking hands with Jason, and the two sat down on the sofa.


    Jason first played a video on the big screen.


    The video was edited. From last year¡¯s first Aldridge command game to the recently concluded East London Derby, the video has nearly 10 minutes. There are countless footage of Aldridge volunteering on or off the court .


    When the video ended, there was another round of applause.


    "I really envy you, Aldridge, at least you are already the most popular star in the coaching profession."


    Amid the laughter from the audience, Aldridge raised his eyebrows with a helpless smile.


    Jason kept a smile and said, "Next we will discuss some topics about you. Can you promise to tell us the truth?"


    Aldrich replied: "Is this a court? Do I need to swear on the Constitution?"


    Laughing all over.


    Jason said: "Of course not, but they and I want to hear the truth from your mouth, not show."


    Aldridge nodded seriously and said: "Okay, if I am willing to say it, it must be true, but I do not want to answer questions, I will remain silent."


    "Okay, first question, which team will become the Premier League champion this season?"


    Aldridge blurted out: "I don''t know."


    "Why isn''t your answer Millwall?"


    "Because I am a pragmatic head coach, Newcastle United and Manchester United have an advantage over us. Newcastle United has room to make mistakes. Even if Manchester United wins, Newcastle United wins and draws three times. The champion is also Newcastle United. "


    "What about Millwall?"


    "I think many fans did not realize the fact that Millwall¡¯s remaining four league games, each of which is a tough battle, the next round, we are going to play Chelsea, this is a derby between rivals. Then it is to relegate In the battle of Leeds United, they have successfully let Newcastle United take the lead. Then we will go to challenge Newcastle United away. Finally, we will play a London Derby. Although the opponent is QPR, it is a London Derby after all. Difficulty Very big, especially if they still have the hope of relegation in the final round, then that game will be very unpredictable. The schedule of Manchester United and Newcastle United is much easier than ours, so Millwall is not a champion ."


    Jason said with a playful smile: "No one will doubt that the Premier League champions will be produced in the three teams of Newcastle United, Millwall and Manchester United this season, but the attitude of the three club coaches is really surprising, Kevin. Keegan said that Newcastle United will eventually win the championship, he is very firm. Alex Ferguson said Newcastle United has no championship life, the final competition is between Manchester United and Millwall. Aldrich Hall thinks Millwall is not popular. I think all three coaches are lying, what do you think?"


    ...


    "Why did Beckham and Neville return to Manchester early last season?"


    "I don''t want to talk about this."


    "If you can sign both of them, would you refuse?"


    "No, they are excellent players and have great talents."


    To this day, the media is still speculating on what happened in Millwall last year, leading Beckham and Neville to end the loan early and return to Manchester United.


    This may only be revealed in the long-term future, when the insider is out of the autobiography.


    "Are you satisfied with your team?"


    "It¡¯s too general to ask. I will only judge the player¡¯s performance. I¡¯m excellent. I¡¯m satisfied. I¡¯m bad. I will criticize the player. But satisfaction does not mean stopping improvement. For example, Trezeguet, he is very good. Talented forward, one of the future world-class forwards, but he is not yet, so I will praise him when he performs well, but in training, I will not allow him to be lazy for a minute, if I relax What he asked of him hurt him instead."


    ...


    "Talk about the East London Derby. As a club owner, why do you do that? I think other coaches will definitely protect the fans."


    "I am very grateful to the fans, but we must distinguish between two different groups, one is a fan and the other is a football hooligan."


    "Are you saying that there are football hooligans in the Millwall fan community? Have you thought about the consequences of this remark?"


    "I''m a sensible person, so I don''t want to lie. As the outside world criticized, there are football hooligans in Millwall''s stands! This is different from the fans who have always supported us. It is absolutely different. What are football hooligans? They don¡¯t care about football at all. Most of them are frustrated in life. They have dissatisfaction and resentment in their hearts and want to vent, or they are violent advocates. They came to the court to find opportunities to provoke misfortune and then happily A fight. Two riots broke out after the East London Derby this season. People are only talking about the low quality of the fans of Millwall and West Ham United. I think this is unfair. Most fans are just for football hooligans. Blame. In the London police investigation report that I know, many of the main participants in the post-match riots were not fans of Millwall or West Ham United. They received a call the day before the game and ran to East London. It¡¯s not a secret just to fight. I think the public also knows that there is a connection between football hooligan organizations. Where there is a fight, they will go wherever they go. This not only creates a bad influence, but also makes the real Mill Wall fans have been hurt, so, I think the culprit is football hooligan, Millwall club and fans are victims."


    When Aldridge finished speaking, the audience was silent.


    The topic of talking about football hooligans is relatively heavy, but as Millwall''s boss and head coach, he cannot avoid this topic.


    Are the fans soundly defended?


    So what should I do when the next riot occurs?


    Continue to protect?


    Jason said unexpectedly: "How would you solve this problem?"


    "I think this is not just how I do it, but the four aspects of the FA, the police, the club, and the fans working together. In fact, in the end, football is a part of life in England, on the stadium, in the stands, players or fans. The behavior reflects our own and social status. Why is East London known as the cradle of football hooligans? And why did Chelsea have racist extremist fan organizations 20 years ago? But now it has disappeared? It¡¯s a social issue. Rogues are not born. Furthermore, I hope that the outside world can give Millwall some more respect. Most of our fans support the club wholeheartedly. Every weekend, it¡¯s their life to walk into the stadium to support the team. It is an important part of the game. Don¡¯t treat every Millwall fan as a football hooligan. This is misunderstood and lacks respect. The club banned some riot fans and several extreme fan organizations from entering the venue. Why? The safety in the stands, I hope that after becoming a parent, every Millwall fan will be able to bring the children to the stadium with peace of mind and joy to support us, so that our club will have a future and be enlarged to all stadiums in England. The same is true."


    ...


    With the broadcast of this Sky TV program, the banner of the protest against Aldridge at the Millwall training ground disappeared, and the club¡¯s supporters have become more, because fans in several counties outside the southeast of London have also been established. In order to support the fan organization, they pulled up a banner for the first time and appeared on the stage of the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium in the FA Cup semi-final, publicly supporting Millwall.

 Chapter 145： A rush

    Millwall played with Manchester United for the third time this season and kicked off at the Lion''s Cave Stadium.


    Having reached the point of semifinals, neither side has any reason to give up strategically.


    Aldridge chose to play at full strength, and Manchester United did the same.


    But because both teams are behind Newcastle United in the league, the strategy for the game will change.


    Ferguson apparently did not want to consume too much in the FA Cup. Manchester United played away. Manchester United played a little conservatively after the opening, trying to control the pace of the game and looking for space to fight back to take away the victory.


    Aldridge¡¯s team now has hopes of winning the FA Cup and the league. Players rely on willpower for continuous battles and rush with one breath.


    Therefore, Millwall played extremely fiercely since the opening.


    Aldridge was pacing back and forth on the sidelines. At this time of the season, he could only rush, without any retreat, and could not rest.


    He found that he was a little naive before. Those teams that are likely to win championships in multi-line battles, whether they are coaches or players, are actually helpless. They will feel sorry to give up the competition of which line, so they can only fight desperately. Every game eventually becomes a bamboo basket, and it is difficult to explain with a rational reason.


    At this time, we can only do it.


    Manchester United is still a Manchester United with a king''s temperament. From the look of their players, Aldridge sees no signs of anxiety. He would like to walk to Ferguson and ask: How can you keep the players calm at this time?


    Yes, Millwall''s players have lost some calm on the court and have a tendency to go crazy.


    They are not like crazy lions now, but crazy wolves.


    Running tirelessly, playing an offensive pass, while splendid, also increased the pace of the game to an unimaginable rate.


    Bruce is still on the court today, and Millwall''s offense is still his main side.


    Studying opponents is naturally about attacking the weak points. Manchester United double-backs are Palist and Bruce. Obviously, who is the main attacker.


    "Man United tried to control the rhythm of the game, but they were confused by Millwall''s crazy forcing. Now they are tired of running on the defensive line. Cantona can''t get the ball today. Makelele''s marking on him is very good. The French confrontation is one of the focal points of this game."


    Millwall once again successfully resolved Manchester United''s offensive. Today Cole and Cantona have no room to play. The biggest reason is that Manchester United''s midfield configuration is more defensive, and the offensive creativity is obviously insufficient.


    Even though Keane is an iron man with both offensive and defensive abilities, his main focus is on defense. When turning from defensive to defensive, Nedved will get him in for the first time, limiting his play on the offensive end.


    Pires took the ball to the middle, and Larson, who withdrew the ball, left the ball in place, and then he ran to the penalty area, which made Paliste instinctively follow Larson, but he was surprised. It was found that the ball was in front, Bruce was going to rush to make a clearance, but Pire came to the ball before him, his ankle shook, the ball went straight into the penalty area, and after hitting Bruce, Trezeguet succeeded in the offside and was in the penalty area. Catch the ball inside.


    According to the technical characteristics of Trezeguet in the past, he will shoot without hesitation, but today Paliste obviously takes care of him. When Trezeguet swings his leg to shoot, Paliste slides the shovel. Going out to block his shooting space, but Trezeguet was just a fake and controlled the ball in place. Manchester United had already opened the gate in the penalty area.


    Schmeichel abandoned the goal and Trezeguet passed the ball to the goal. Larsson rushed forward and the ball hit the net.


    "Milwall scored a goal! The attack that Piret launched was wonderful. This season we saw Trezeguet''s tremendous progress. He is now more and more confident in controlling the ball, just from running to false Action assists Larson are showing that his threat in the penalty area is increasing. Larson has scored 38 goals in all competitions this season. Although the Premier League scorer is still 5 goals away from Hiller, but His performance in the Premier League season has been impeccable."


    Ferguson looked at the ball and closed his eyes, frowned, and his face was not pretty.


    In the first round of the season, Millwall penetrated Manchester United¡¯s gate five times away, and Ferguson realized that Bruce could not reach the level of Manchester United, so he started to use David May to play as a defender. Manchester United rushed into the second half of the league and performed steadily. It''s related to the rapport between David May and Paliste''s partner. If it is not to give the league power, he may not use Bruce in this semifinal. David May is an easily injured player. Ferguson wants to be better. To protect him.


    After annoying his own goal drop, Ferguson glanced at Aldridge again and said: This game is so desperate, is the FA Cup more important than the league?


    Aldridge is really helpless, he can''t always tell the boys: Hey, let''s save some energy in the FA Cup and go to the league championship.


    What if both sides fail?


    Aldrich should bear this responsibility, but he can''t do it too obviously. Such failures don''t mean that players can''t afford it. He also fears that he will be separated from players.


    All he can do is trust the players and encourage them instead of discouraging them.


    Today''s Millwall players are really desperate to play football.


    Especially in the defense, the striker and the two full-backs, Piray and Schneider defensive retracement are very deep in the second half, not just the counter defense, Larson and Trezeguet also returned to participate in the half. Harassment.


    While attacking, they rushed forward together again.


    Before the end of the first half, Thuram unexpectedly ran to the penalty area and shot a long shot again to penetrate Schmeichel''s goal.


    Millwall returned to the locker room with a two-ball lead.


    Aldridge walked into the locker room last and saw the players panting and sweating. They were obviously very tired.


    In the past half month, they have played three games, two league games and Newcastle United FA Cup, today is the fourth game.


    But they didn''t want to stop, they didn''t want to be rotated, they just wanted to sprint towards the champion.


    The fighting spirit displayed by the players made it impossible for Aldrich to plan the rotation.


    He is worried about losing points in the league after the rotation, so what will the main players who are rotated think?


    First, if we win the game on the court, we won''t lose the championship.


    And what kind of pressure will the young players rotate? The responsibility for failure will overwhelm their psychological defense.


    After weighing, Aldridge can only let the main force fight.


    Physiotherapists are massaging the muscles of the players. These physical therapists who are familiar with the players have a dignified look, and several people even secretly eyed Aldridge.


    The mental state of the players is very exciting, but their physical state is already approaching the limit.


    They shouldn''t be allowed to fight like this again, otherwise they will cramp lightly and seriously hurt.


    Aldridge wrote and painted pictures on the tactical board, telling the players to play smarter and more controllable in the second half, instead of rushing too much to avoid being counterattacked by Manchester United.


    His remarks were carefully recorded by the players.


    Aldrich actually lied.


    A two-ball lead is not safe at all. Before Manchester United fought back in the second half, as long as Millwall scored another goal, Manchester United would give up completely and move his mind to the league.


    But he can''t let the player risk the injury and rush down like this.


    In the second half, Aldridge withdrew Schneider and replaced Vieira, which was also a strategy to strengthen control in the midfield and backcourt.


    To the surprise of Aldridge, Manchester United withdrew Cantona and replaced Silks. After all, the king is thirty years old and the league schedule behind is very dense. Manchester United still needs to rely on his play.


    Aldridge also replaced Larson and Pires ten minutes later in the second half, allowing Solskjaer and Shevchenko to take their place.


    The second half of the game was a fierce confrontation with a midfield strangulation. The match between Keane Gabbart and Nedvide and Vieira, the two sides were equal, but Manchester United''s midfield organization could not penetrate into the hinterland. There are two sides, but once Giggs and Beckham are restricted, Manchester United''s offense will have no way.


    Aldridge looked calm on the sidelines. He prayed to the players not to be injured in his heart, while also reviewing Manchester United''s tactical system.


    Ferguson has not yet found the most suitable Manchester United offensive code. It can be said that after Paul Ins is gone, Ferguson has been experimenting with Manchester United''s midfield configuration. This season''s configuration of Bad Ga Keen has been defending the light attack until the future is determined. After En and Scholes'' one defense and one attack configuration, Manchester United completely solved the offensive and defensive balance problem in the midfield. With the mature wings of the wings flying together, Manchester United only has the capital to compete in the European Championship, but not Then there is the pseudo-strong team that is difficult to qualify even in the UEFA Champions League group stage.


    The FA Cup semi-final ended with Millwall''s 2-0 victory over Manchester United and ended.


    Ferguson did not rush back to Manchester after the game, but met with Aldridge in the office for a while.


    The two inevitably talked about the situation of the Premier League title fight, and did not know whether Ferguson was sincere or hypocritical. His expression sincerely told Audridge: If Manchester United cannot win the championship, then he hopes that the final winner will be Millwall .


    Obviously, Ferguson''s selfishness is mixed in here, and he and Keegan do not deal with it. Besides, in the battle of words over the past few months, if Kevin Keegan really wins the championship, then Ferguson will definitely lose face.


    Aldridge didn''t smugly take a breast pack ticket, only to see the results in the next half month.


    He can''t be optimistic, the main team must rest, but he can''t easily rotate, which makes every game full of unpredictability, not the disparity that paper strength looks like.


    Before leaving, Ferguson put down the glass and shook his head: "Aldrich, this wine is really bad. Next time I will send you a few bottles of wine here. Every time we meet, you will entertain me, so as not to I want to drink this bad stuff out of courtesy."


    Aldrich shrugged it didn''t matter: "Yes, you can send me as many boxes as you want."


    "Stam, Solskjaer, Nedved, these three people, you make a price."


    Aldridge almost blurted out and scolded him that he was not completely skinned.


    Why are you digging again?


    Aldrich spread his hands and said: "Not for sale."


    Ferguson shook his head: "If Manchester United really launches an offensive against these three, will Millwall stay?"


    Aldridge was silent.


    Ferguson regretted it half a season ago. He quoted Millwall before the season and wanted to introduce Larson or Trezeguet. If he promises the main position of the other party under the conditions of the opening, then at least one of the two must have already Putting on the Red Devils shirt, but at the time he also had great confidence in Andy Cole, did not expect Cole''s performance this season is too bad, as of today, his number of goals is not as good as last season In the second half of the season, he scored many goals, with 10 in total. Cole scored 12 goals in 18 games for Manchester United last season.


    Ferguson continued: "Millwall''s central defender has a lot of reserves. Without Stam, you still have the Spaniard. The Italian guy also performed well. Isn''t there another Richards? Nedved is Millwall. I will send you a quotation that is absolutely satisfactory to you. The guy in Solskjaer is too wasteful to stay with you. You don¡¯t give him a chance at all. Why did the Ukrainian guy get more opportunities than him recently How many? Maybe it is a tactical reason, but I think the Norwegian guy can play the main role at Manchester United."


    Aldridge closed his eyes and smiled bitterly.


    Old man, I have never denied the power of a baby face, but you don¡¯t know how amazing the power of the Ukrainian nuclear warhead has been.


    "I will talk to these three players and give you an answer later."


    Aldridge raised his hand to drop off.


    As Ferguson said, there is a lot of Millwall in the central defender reserve, and Manchester United has to dig up the excellent central defenders that have been trained and grown. Manchester United Class 92 has started to stir up the girders. Now Ferguson has no patience to train new people. After all, the price is cruel, Manchester United''s back line urgently needs the first-class players who can fight, so Stam is naturally the first choice.


    The season is not over, Aldridge not only has great pressure on his shoulders, but also has troubles. After being dug up, which head coach can be happy?

 Chapter 146： Ecstasy

    Millwall advanced to the FA Cup final and will meet Wembley with Liverpool Reds.


    After the game, Fleet Street continued to pursue Millwall, and Aldridge was a little flirty.


    After the game, there were only three days to rest, and Millwall will play Stamford Bridge to challenge Chelsea, which is still a London derby.


    Aldridge tried to give the players a holiday as much as possible, let the main players rest for two days, and came back the day before the game for a simple joint training.


    In these two days, he sent Andrew to Solskjaer, Stam, and Nedved to pass to Manchester United to buy them.


    The result of the feedback made Audridge uncomfortable.


    In addition to Nedved''s firm attitude that he was not interested in leaving East London, Stam and Solskjaer both said they would consider it.


    The morning before the game, Aldridge supervised the training. During the noon break, Stam took the initiative to walk into his office.


    The apprentice and the mentor sat across from each other across the desk, and the opening speech of Stam made Aldridge feel cold.


    Stam expressed sincerely his gratitude to Aldridge.


    In the past two years in England, he has made rapid progress. After adjusting to the pace of England''s game last year, this season, his stable performance on the back line is simply unbeatable.


    And what about his previous club?


    Before coming, his club was the Dutch team, Millwall was promoted from the first class to the Premier League, but his old club was relegated from the Dutch team.


    Maybe he would think that if he stays in his old club, the team may not be relegated, but now look back and see that the height and ability he has achieved has not been achieved in the original nest.


    His remarks were basically similar to the parting declaration.


    Aldridge didn''t want to let him go.


    "Yap, how do you think our team is competitive?"


    Stam blurted out: "One of England''s best teams."


    Aldridge nodded and said, "But we only won one League Cup trophy."


    Stam was silent for a moment, and then said seriously: "Boss, I know what you mean and I know you want to stay with me. I am very grateful. To be honest, time in Millwall is the most important thing in my career. Yes, here, you taught my team to defend, and have always given me confidence. Even if I did badly, you never questioned me, but patiently accompanied me out of the trough. I have improved a lot here, I think To repay you and return Millwall, I also want to tell everyone that if I leave from here, I must leave with honor. First, if we can¡¯t win the league title this season, then we must get it next season, so , I will leave as a champion, will you?"


    Hearing what Stam said, Aldridge couldn''t dissuade anything, and nodded gently and agreed.


    What he wanted to express was clear. If Millwall can finally reach the Premier League this season, he will move away in the summer. If Millwall fails to win the Premier League title this season, then, fight next season and then next summer He left again.


    Suppose that Millwall can''t make it to the Premier League next season, and Millwall has also lost the capital to keep him, because the team obviously has not been able to go further.


    Although the stars born in the 1970s are not as capable as the stars of the 1980s and 90s, they can become rich and rich overnight, but they have many qualities that are also missing from the stars. Stam at least understands the "Knowledge of Enlightenment" Either you tear your face or you are determined to transfer.


    Get together and get away.


    Maybe many people don''t understand, if Millwall is the league champion, why should Stam go?


    Because Millwall has no rich heritage, it''s that simple.


    A few years ago, Leeds United was the league champion before the first year of the Premier League. Black also counterattacked this season last season. Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa have also reached the top of Europe in more than a decade. Not many fans will think how amazing these clubs will be.


    For the real giants, one championship and two championships are simply not enough for the ordinary team to jump the dragon, but to build up with continuous success, at the same time increase the influence, especially the widely recognized stars, One is not enough, two or three are too few.


    Manchester United is different.


    The legendary color of the club, the wealth that Busby left to Manchester United is not only the champion, but also a magic that meets the difficulties directly. This inheritance is not comparable to the championship. How many well-known players have Manchester United history? I am afraid that non-Manchester United **** fans can say a lot of names. The paleness of Millwall''s past historical achievements is not enough to make this pure grassroots team immediately different after winning the championship.


    Especially this season, under the condition of Manchester United renewal, it still maintains an impact on the championship. If Millwall is steadily going to today, then Manchester United is climbing back from the abyss.


    This kind of champion temperament, red devil blood, is what Millwall lacks.


    Especially in the final sprint of the league championship, Aldridge was at a loss for himself. He just forced to calm down, and the players? It seems that every day is a state of high nervousness. When the referee whistle on the stadium, they will fully fire with their opponents.


    is this okay?


    No, this shows the immaturity of the team and the unbalanced mentality in the big scene.


    But this kind of problem, Aldridge encountered for the first time, he is also familiar with and explore the coping method, and finally found that this is actually a process of practice makes perfect, rather than a few words to stabilize the hearts of people.


    Last season Blackburn also collapsed, but Manchester United missed the opportunity to reverse, this is the problem of psychological quality, the price of youth.


    After the conversation with Stam was fruitful, Aldridge had dinner at home and Solskjaer knocked on his door.


    The baby face remained silent at first, and the master and apprentice sat in the living room for about five minutes.


    In the end, it was Aldridge who broke the silence on his own initiative, and he asked quietly, "Ole, do you want to go to Manchester United, do you?"


    Solskjaer lowered his head slightly and said softly: "Not necessarily, boss, I have been a substitute for the past two years. I think I have the ability to play a main position. Whether it is a winger or a forward, I think I can, but The boss seems to have no confidence in my main role."


    Aldrich started the conversation, but he was sitting on the sofa and holding a tea cup in silence.


    Unlike Vieira, Ballack, Fanny and other players are not yet twenty years old.


    Solskjaer is twenty-three years old.


    And he is also good at observing carefully. He has already noticed that Aldridge has begun to change the team''s tactical system in the last month of training.


    In the future, Millwall will play a three striker formation.


    It sounds like there are more forwards, but in fact, Larson will play as a winger, Trezeguet will still be a center, and Pires will also be a winger. The original full-back Schneider will start to play as a full-back.


    If this is the case, Solskjaer may still fight.


    However, he realized that Aldrich''s hope for Shevchenko was very great.


    Coaches are human too, can they treat the players equally?


    Totally impossible.


    It''s not about personal relationships, but about the combination and collocation in training, team allocation, how much saliva to remind players, the requirements of the coaching staff and so on.


    Shevchenko¡¯s progress in the past half a year is also obvious. First, it is integrated into the tactical system, followed by the improvement of physical fitness and the improvement of personal skills. Aldrich will let Shevchenko play most of the time in the second half of the league. Adapting to the pace of the Premier League, maybe not long, ten minutes or twenty minutes, but the most important thing is to let him go on the field without pressure, even if he misses the opportunity to perform mediocrely, it is a mentality adaptation process.


    For this reason, Solskjaer feels that his forward rank in the team has dropped, and he is justified in hesitating whether to move to Manchester United.


    In fact, he said these words, only hinting to Aldrich: Boss, you give me the main force, I will never leave!


    Aldridge brought him from Northern Europe to England, which was equivalent to taking him from the desert to the oasis. He was equally grateful, but he was already twenty-three years old, and he felt that he could no longer always wait for opportunities on the bench.


    What''s more, if you have to be a substitute, it''s better to be a substitute at Dream Theater than sitting on the bench at the Lion''s Cave Stadium, isn''t it?


    The information conveyed by Ferguson, Aldridge has nothing to hide. This is respect for the players. Andrew''s message to Solskjaer includes what Ferguson said: the main position.


    Go to Manchester United to play the main role, stay in Millwall to play the bench.


    What is the comparability between the two?


    Need to hesitate?


    But Solskjaer hesitated, he still wanted to stay, but only if he could get the main position.


    After long thinking, Aldridge raised his head to stare at Solskjaer and asked, "Ole, if I agree to go to Manchester United, will you hate me?"


    Solskjaer knew the answer and smiled on the baby''s face, shaking his head: "No, Boss, I only have gratitude and admiration for you. And, you just made the right decision. I don''t think you are better than Robert, Henrik, and David are excellent, they occupy the main position, they deserve it, but I also want to start every game."


    Aldridge stood up and walked in front of him, and the mentor and apprentice came to hug. Aldridge said in his ear: "Ole, you are a top player, I never lied to you, when I first met As I said, you will be the best player, I don¡¯t want to let you go, but I can¡¯t let you waste on the bench, go to Manchester United, stand up and walk into Old Trafford, tell everyone your name , And then create a legend that belongs to you, and I will bless you forever. If you want to come back one day in the future, I will welcome you anytime."


    Solskjaer burst into tears and nodded desperately. Eventually, he left Aldridge¡¯s home in tears. When he walked on the street with dim lights, he suddenly looked back at Aldridge¡¯s home, sobbing: ¡°Head Son, I really want to stay here all the time."


    Aldridge was in a bad mood, and his eyes were a little wet on the floor.


    Solskjaer, super bench.


    Under Ferguson, it was only the main force of four seasons.


    But Aldridge couldn''t tell him this, it would appear he was surreptitious.


    Moreover, he stays at Millwall and may not even play the main role of four seasons.


    Going to Manchester United and playing for the Red Devils is more than glory for the mad lion. Aldrich doesn¡¯t think Solskjaer¡¯s choice is wrong.


    Instead, he failed Solskjaer.


    "Aldrich, why don''t you persuade him to stay? Let him compete with others. I think he''s very good."


    Benitez stood on the stairs and said a little puzzled.


    Aldrich shook his head, there was nothing to say.


    Pei Bal did not understand Millwall''s frontline talent pool at all.


    Fanny, Tony, Phillips, Ronaldinho, Grenchar, Shevchenko, Larson, Trezeguet, Pires, Villa, Joe Cole.


    ...

 Chapter 147： Millwall

    Millwall, despite being three points behind Newcastle United, has become a favourite to win the Premier League.


    "Daily Mail" spent a large page to analyze Millwall''s advantages, which emphasized that Millwall already has a championship appearance.


    In the 34-round league, Millwall only lost to Nottingham Forest on the road, which represents their stability.


    The number of goals conceded in the 26 leagues is the least in the Premier League. Although 64 goals are not the most in the league, the characteristics of Millwall''s ability to attack and defend well can be seen through the goal difference.


    After winning the League Cup, Millwall is more dominant on the court, and the momentum is so fast that most opponents can only passively defend when facing them.


    Starting in April, Millwall doubles every week. The density of playing one game every three days is really amazing. They play one more league matchup and the FA Cup than Newcastle, and one more than Manchester United. Games, and almost no rotation.


    Aldridge complained a little bit. If it were not for the European Cup held in England in 1996, the Premier League schedule would not be compressed so tightly in the final stage.


    When Millwall came to Stamford Bridge, they were greeted by boos and shouts.


    Chelsea is still the tepid Chelsea. The championship is a fancy night. It is also incapable of infecting tickets in Europe. Having enough relegation scores four rounds in advance has become a worry-free holiday.


    However, today''s game is a London Derby. In view of the endless hatred between the two teams, Chelsea boss Bates specifically gave the team a death order: go crazy!


    It''s not that the team must win. Bates himself feels that this is not realistic. Millwall''s power is obvious to all, but he hopes that Chelsea can **** Millwall''s title.


    As long as Millwall could lose points in this round, Millwall basically said goodbye to the league champion.


    Chelsea can only pursue this aspect now.


    Relatives are hurting their enemies soon, and their rivals cannot win the championship. Chelsea naturally likes to hear it.


    Bates did not invite Arthur to Stamford Bridge to watch the ball, but Arthur was very enthusiastic and did not invite him. He also sat beside Bates in the stands, and the two of them happily greeted each other.


    The words spoken from the mouths of the two people are not at odds with each other, which is basically an old rogue who scolds the street without a line.


    "Bates, give the champion chairman one?"


    "Go tell your three sons to act like idiots for your pleasure!"


    "If I beat you here, what do you think?"


    "Can you still walk out of Stamford Bridge?"


    "Try it?"


    "Try your whole family, you **** dare to come, I''m calling someone!"


    "Laugh, don''t be nervous like I want to **** you."


    ...


    Even though the gap between the two teams is somewhat different in strength, the game with too many factors in it has become very hot.


    Martin Taylor and Andy Gray have been staring at the scores of other games in the commentary, of course it is the game between Manchester United and Newcastle United.


    As soon as Chelsea came up, he took a posture of anti-reflexion, stealing less than three points, and holding one point was enough to make Millwall cry home.


    Aldridge ignored the screams in the stands behind him, and he was not happy.


    The players still showed the momentum of the tigers going down the mountain after playing today. They are extremely brave!


    Almost to eat the opponent in one breath.


    At the pre-match preparation meeting, Aldridge''s words to them all turned into deaf ears.


    It''s not that the players blatantly disobeyed the will of the head coach. It''s just that the Premier League trophy naturally emerged in the minds of the players as soon as they played. In order to win the championship, it was naturally a fight!


    The smell of gunpowder has always been strong on the field. Millwall players played fast and smooth with the pass and cut. Chelsea could block it and start fouling.


    Mr. Gullit did not make the starting lineup today. His physical fitness and enthusiasm for fighting are no longer sufficient for such a fierce game.


    In fact, even if Gullit arrived, the spiritual leader and core main force of Chelsea did not become him, but another local player, Dennis Wise.


    This bad guy has become the protagonist of today!


    He is an atypical villain in the Premier League.


    Why is he atypical villain?


    See what he has done. Three minutes after the game started, he kicked Nedved and the referee punished him for a foul. It seemed that he walked over to get a card, but this guy Wise was smiling and taking the initiative. Reaching to support Nedved, he also used an implicit apology to help Nedved shoot the jersey. When the referee saw that Nedved did not seem to be substantially harmed, he warned Wise to give a few words.


    Seeing this scene, Aldridge bowed his head silently and was helpless.


    Nedved''s role model is too real.


    People kicked him, as long as he could get up, he would not delay for a second on the ground.


    It''s not Aldridge''s hope that he can come to an impromptu performance, but this kind of player, the referee often does not take the initiative to protect.


    This is in the midst of Dennis Wise''s arms. He is such an atypical villain. He changed someone else, like Keane, Jones, then I will shovel you, and after the shoveling, the referee will give the card. I was angry, and I broke your legs without blinking.


    But the boy Wise just pretended to be the wrong one after doing a bad thing. He packed you hard the first second and extended his hand with apology with apology the next second.


    He is a small player, but he doesn''t look particularly strong, so he fouled fiercely, and he didn''t feel much harm.


    Knowing his professional background, he knows where he has developed his skills.


    Produced by Kuangbang, "Vicious Slam".


    When Dennis Wise kicked Nedved for the third time, Aldridge kicked the water bottle on the sidelines and roared to the fourth official: "Do you **** wait for my player to break his leg?" Make a difference?"


    The head referee couldn''t stand it anymore and gave Denis Wise a yellow card. Wise dropped his hands and expressed his innocence. He thought the referee''s penalty was unfair.


    He even signaled to the referee: You see, the Czech, he can run and jump, the speed is not slow at all, my foul just looks like a big move, in fact did not hurt him at all!


    The head referee ignored Wise''s argument and the game continued.


    Chelsea paid five yellow cards in the first half to bring the draw into the locker room.


    Aldridge found that the atmosphere inside the team became very depressed during the halftime break.


    Everyone wants a championship and knows that every game must be won, so they become nervous.


    Aldridge did not talk about tactics, but let the physical therapists relax the muscles of the players. He now wants to shout to the players: Normal mind!


    However, he knew that what he said was useless.


    The day before the game, he spoke for more than an hour at the preparation meeting.


    Now players have a feeling of getting into trouble, and there is nothing other than the champion in their eyes.


    This made them into a formation imbalance when they played on the field. If Chelsea were not strong enough, Millwall would have been destroyed by the counterattack.


    The masseur took off the ball socks and leg guards on Nedved''s legs and found that his right leg had swollen a large bag, and the bruise was very obvious.


    Aldridge came to Nedved, frowning worriedly.


    Nedved took a sip and raised his head to say firmly, "Boss, I''m fine."


    Aldridge looked around the other players and asked Shen Sheng: "How are you feeling?"


    One by one, sweat-covered faces that were obviously tired but unanimously showed their resolute colors, the players shared the same voice: "No problem."


    Aldrich knew they were lying, but there was no way to do it. At this time, who would be forced to change would only cause conflicts.


    After the players played in the second half, Aldridge sat down, and Jensen worriedly beside him: "I feel the team is almost out of control! You see, Claude rushed directly across the middle circle as soon as he played. They are too If you want to score a goal, you have simply used the number to accumulate your offensive advantage."


    Aldridge shook his head and said nothing.


    Now this team is not the team that last year played in the first division of League One, which required Audridge to keep his tactics in his mouth.


    The tactical play is maturing, and the confidence that the players have accumulated has given them a strong autonomy.


    To put it bluntly, it''s a bit like the obscure little people in the martial arts novels. Suddenly one day, he became a masterpiece, thinking that he can create an invincible world.


    This is an inevitable stage. Their wings are hardened and they think they can fly, but they do not realize that a mature team depends not only on good players but also on a good leader.


    At this particular stage, Aldridge is afraid to make a conflict with the players. He can only be silent, so that these players who think they can desperately win the championship do what they want to do. It¡¯s useless to reason with them. of.


    In the second half, Dennis Wise fouled again in the 53rd minute and got him a second yellow card and was sent off. Hoddle protested to the fourth official on the sidelines and Aldridge looked on coldly.


    Millwall, who played one more person, scored in the 80th minute of the second half.


    The scene at that time made Aldridge sad.


    A mess!


    Yes, the players on the field have lost their minds to win the ball, and they are frantically winging the ball. Is it the chance to pursue a threatening pass or shot? Stam, Thuram, Zambrotta all rushed Before the opponent''s penalty area, only Elgra guarded the backcourt.


    A goal is a shot change in a scuffle.


    Thuram made a shot from outside the penalty area and didn''t know who and who''s legs were touched in the dense penalty area, and then rolled to the goal. Trezeguet slammed the ball into Chelsea''s gate with his toes in the crowd.


    With this unconvincing goal, Millwall achieved a victory in the chaos.


    Manchester United and Newcastle United won the game at the same time, and the situation for the championship remains unchanged.


    Aldrich praised the team''s performances differently, claiming that this victory was won by the Millwall team''s hard work, and that each boy''s performance was top-notch.


    Actually he wanted to scold the team, but he couldn''t.


    In addition to the field goal scored in the chaotic game, Millwall''s performance was simply a disaster. The offense and defense were unbalanced. The attack did indeed seem to have a strong momentum, but it has always been unable to score.


    If these players can''t calmly face the game under the big scene, Aldridge really can''t have high hopes for them.


    If Chelsea can score a goal for them first, maybe they will collapse.


    But anyway, luck is on Millwall''s side, which makes exhausted players gleeful on the return bus.


    As parties, they did not realize that their performance today has lost their dominance of the game.


    After two days of rest, Millwall team trained for a day, and then ushered in a tough battle, the main scene against Leeds United.


    Because of the last round of losing, with the last three rounds left in the league, Leeds United is still in danger of relegation, for them, every point must be contested.

 Chapter 148： Heart of Limit and Ambition

    Winning the London Derby victory over Chelsea, regardless of the scene, Millwall scored three points anyway, which also made the media sing praises to them.


    Millwall players live in London and see the news every day. The news that praises them makes them as good as the clouds.


    Victory, hymns, championship seems to be within reach.


    They don''t have to worry about other teams, as long as they win the last three games, 90% of the league champions will be available.


    However, they ignored their physical limits.


    Ordinary people suddenly do strenuous exercise one day, the next day there will be a strong sense of fatigue and muscle soreness, and the usually well-trained players, in the case of one game a week, basically the body''s recovery speed is more than the degree of fatigue wear, Drive fast, rest properly, and you can slow down.


    But like this week''s uninterrupted one-week double game, even if Aldridge tries to give them vacations as much as possible, they all rest at home honestly, but the speed of physical recovery can never keep up with the accumulation of fatigue.


    As early as a week ago, the medical department''s warning was placed in front of Audridge several times.


    But Aldridge can only lock medical reports in the drawer.


    The boys want the league title, and Aldrich wants it.


    In contrast, the responsibility for losing the league title is too great.


    Aldrich was too afraid to take the initiative.


    If his rotation fails to win the championship in the end, it will have a series of negative effects, and the chain reaction caused by this effect may directly disintegrate this team that already has many stars.


    In the past, it was he who combined the players into a team. He was the leader. Now, the combined willpower of the players has already shaken his power. The players think that they can win the championship according to their own ideas. In a sense, Aldridge was kidnapped by the will of the players, and at this critical time, he could not make any move that would collapse this willpower, otherwise, no matter whether he wins or loses, he will be targeted.


    Is this rare?


    Not at all, many teams with outstanding strengths have fared poorly and even broke a thousand miles. Many of the root causes are that the will of the coach is difficult to resist the will of the players.


    This is especially true for teams that have big names or can be described as "ball tyrants."


    There is no ball dominator in Millwall, but Aldridge dare not offend the players. This is a fact, even though he is the boss, because he is afraid that his efforts in the past two years will be lost.


    Leeds United is not a good opponent. Although this team, which was a top-level champion four years ago, has reached the lowest point in recent years, it can only be a relegation team. The explosive power to stay in the Premier League is amazing.


    At the Lion''s Cave Stadium, the two teams of players entered the battlefield in a call to win the championship.


    Aldridge did not go to say hello to Leeds United coach Wilkinson, because in the first half of the league, Millwall was humiliated by Leeds United fans when he was visiting Elland Road Stadium. After the game, Wilkinson was condemned. Fans of Leeds United were relieved, which led to Aldridge''s inability to coexist peacefully with him.


    Millwall and West Ham are notorious for football hooliganism, and Leeds United is the most famous team in the Premier League.


    But Aldridge admired Wilkinson, not only brought Leeds United from the trough to the height of the top league champions, but also created Leeds United¡¯s youth training system, whose credit is no less than that of Shankly to Liverpool and Bass to Manchester United. It¡¯s just that future generations haven¡¯t been able to persevere and carry forward, but it seems that such outstanding deeds don¡¯t pay much attention to the outside world. Later, he relished that he sold Cantona to Manchester United. Ferguson just wanted to buy another Leeds player. However, Wilkinson offered Cantona to trade, and Ferguson was shocked.


    Aldridge stood on the sidelines to watch the battle with his hands in his pockets. Recently, he was upset and his mind was flying.


    Not only are they afraid of the players being injured, but also worry about the psychological problems of the players in this state, and he is also looking forward to the championship trophy. How could he not want such a miracle?


    Coupled with the end of the season, Solskjaer has decided to transfer, Stam will depend on the situation, Aldridge is distraught.


    After the game started, Aldridge saw the players'' running position and bowed his head to raise a bitter smile with a slightly self-deprecating smile.


    The players took his remarks again.


    He made an exception today and said tactics in the locker room before the game. Plus yesterday, he talked at least five times with the players.


    Leeds United wants to be relegated!


    They won''t just score 1 point!


    Control the game patiently, and our chances will not be less!


    But after the game started, the players were like a wild horse rushing to the frontcourt. Like the last game, they wanted to eat their opponents in one go.


    Perhaps they are thinking: First, the other party wants to relegate, we also want the champion!


    Piret shot softly outside the penalty area and was easily confiscated by the opponent''s goalkeeper. Then, a familiar scene appeared on the court, but the visiting team became the protagonist.


    The goalkeeper threw the ball away, and the ball quickly rolled to the court between three passes. The Leeds players rushed into Millwall''s second half like a race.


    Makelele delayed the offense with a foul, but the referee ignored it because the attacker also controlled the ball.


    The Millwall players who swooped up after the start of the match were significantly slower in catching up.


    They clenched their teeth until today, and their physical fitness has already reached the limit. At the beginning of today''s game, most players'' running has shown their fatigue.


    Moreover, in the past few games, they are all familiar with oppressing their opponents to bombard them indiscriminately. Today, at first glance, Leeds United quickly swept back and swept their hands and feet.


    Leeds United penetrated the running position through the frontcourt of four people, quickly countered the number of goals and easily penetrated Millwall''s goal.


    When the ball hit the goal, Millwall''s players stood on the field dumbfounded, and the fans in the stands were silent.


    Have we lost the ball? !


    "Wow! Leeds United''s goal! This is an unexpected start. In the second minute of the game, Millwall fell behind, but it doesn''t matter. There is still time. For Millwall, who has a set of offense, They are not afraid of losing the ball!"


    Aldrich is not afraid of losing the ball in the usual days, but today, he sees the nervous expression of the players, and he has no confidence in his heart.


    He made a gesture of depressing with both hands on the sidelines, trying to calm down the players first.


    It¡¯s okay to drop the ball, and it¡¯s actually advantageous to drop the ball so early. There is enough time to counterattack, no need to worry.


    But his gesture was of little use, and the players insisted on relying on their willpower to win today.


    After the kick-off, Millwall''s attack was more fierce, and he did play a decisive role, but the impatient mentality made them suddenly decline in the power of the last round of attack.


    So, the defensive player in the second half assisted again.


    As he hits, the formation presses forward more and more.


    In the thirty-second minute of the first half, Leeds United made another efficient and quick counterattack, and Millwall, who was out of balance, was hit hard.


    The gate was lost twice.


    The Lion''s Cave Stadium was dead, and it seemed that the fans of Leeds United came on the road and did not react.


    It''s unbelievable.


    Two goals away? !


    This time, Millwall players really suffered a huge blow.


    At this moment, they involuntarily turned their attention to Aldridge on the sidelines.


    It seems that in this dilemma, only Aldridge can guide them on the right track.


    Aldridge turned his back to the players and waved his arms to the stands, beckoning the fans to cheer for the players.


    The crazy Lion fans who wake up dreamily are quicker than the players.


    League champions are very good, but they will not spurn the team because they cannot win the championship.


    The lion''s lair was heard once again.


    The name of the mad lion resounded through the stadium, and the rhythmic applause seemed to cheer.


    The players on the field were really awakened at the moment. They walked back to halftime and talked to each other briefly, and then set up their formation after the kick-off. They were not as top-heavy as before.


    But Leeds United, who has already led by two goals, is able to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.


    At the end of the first half, the score was still 0:2, Millwall fell behind by two goals.


    The record of more than 50 unbeaten home games in the League Cup seems to be ending today.


    Aldrich doesn''t care about this record. It doesn''t have any special meaning. Home advantage is not manifested by defeat and undefeated. Undefeated can be better reflected, but it is not that with a few defeats, the home advantage is lost.


    In the locker room, Aldridge walked in last. The players were waiting for him, eager to see him, as if they wanted to win the password from his mouth.


    Aldridge did not go to the tactical board to write and paint, but said seriously: "We must first ensure that the defense does not lose the ball. Secondly, we also have a great chance. The defense of Leeds United is not impenetrable, but you I played a little impetuously today. In the second half of the game, I only have one requirement for you. Before passing and catching the ball, calmly observe the situation on the court and make the correct choice, whether it is a ball, a breakthrough, or a shot. I don¡¯t want to teach you."


    The players looked at each other with little confidence in their expressions, and Pire looked up and asked, "Boss, can we win?"


    Aldridge clenched his fists and waved: "I have confidence in you, you can win! But remember, football needs passion, but it also needs reason. You must not only show courage and fighting spirit, but also play your football. wisdom."


    The players nodded in unison.


    After the players played in the second half, Jenson held Aldridge and asked in confusion: "Why don''t you scold them? If they can perform the tactics set before the game, how could the game be like this bird?"


    Aldrich shook his head and patted Jenson¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Don¡¯t forget, they are still young, they are just too obsessed with victory and too confident in themselves. I scold them and they will only provoke contradictions. The team does not need this."


    "Then the tactical arrangement of the head coach cannot be ignored!"


    "Jenson, haven''t you ever been young? You have to think about it yourself: people are not mad at young people."


    Aldridge doesn''t complain about the players, he really doesn''t complain, but just thinks all this is normal.


    He was also young, rebellious, and a bit capable of thinking that Lao Tzu is the first.


    The so-called loyal words are most vividly reflected in young people.


    Moreover, the hope of the champion, the praise of the outside world, the continuous victory, the home advantage, the terrible home unbeaten record, the temperament transformation brought by the League Cup championship trophy, all bombarded the players'' nerves in a short time.


    They can also focus on the field, Aldridge is very pleased, although their strength is not used in the right place.


    Aldrich cares more about how he should redirect the players to the right path, which is what he cares about.

 Chapter 149： Withdraw from the championship team

    The immaturity of the team is often reflected in two aspects, one is the immaturity of the tactical system, that is, the team''s offense and defense is disorderly, and the other is the team''s mentality. The performance in the big scene or key games is not stable and calm.


    Millwall took both today.


    It was the immaturity of the mentality that triggered the collapse of the tactical system.


    The team practiced to pass the teamwork, pay attention to the ball, simple and fast.


    But when you hit the ball and pursue a fast pace, it also needs to be within the ability of the players.


    For example, if the pass is too big, the player cannot catch up, the pass is too early, and the player is not in place. This is closely related to the maturity of a team.


    Millwall players want to swallow their opponents in one go, so they want to destroy Leeds United in a destructive way. The pass is getting faster and faster. You need to think when you kick the ball, but you are going to pass it consciously. When the ball is fast, the thinking is often unable to keep up with this rhythm, and the passing ball is unsatisfactory.


    For this reason, it seems that Millwall attacked madly in the first half, but the offense actually played a mess, making Aldridge see a feeling of blood dripping.


    It¡¯s true to pursue fast, but there is a saying that a half step ahead is a genius, a step ahead is a lunatic.


    As long as Millwall controls the rhythm in an appropriate high-speed state, they can control it themselves, and Leeds United can''t keep up, and half a step away, Millwall''s advantage will gradually manifest, but meaninglessly pursue more. Faster and faster, but self-destructing the Great Wall.


    This is not a matter of technical ability, or mentality.


    Aldridge did not criticize the team, but still encouraged them.


    When the second half started, Millwall seemed to return to the state he was in a few rounds before the league.


    Offensive and defensive balance, the players will not deliberately pursue fast pace, but change the rhythm appropriately, fast and slow.


    When the team''s performance is getting better and worse, bad things happen, and it is also Audric''s biggest worry.


    After receiving the ball once, Pire''s sudden speed-up breakthrough was done halfway and kicked the ball out of the sideline. He touched the back of his thigh and walked slowly to the side of the court.


    Obviously, he was injured.


    It is very easy to be injured when doing explosive start when the body is extremely fatigued.


    Aldrich asked Shevchenko to warm up, and then comforted Pires, who could walk down on his own, at least to show that it was not a serious strain, otherwise he would lie directly on the ground.


    He also called Thuram and Schneider and asked the two to clarify their duties on the offense.


    Originally, Schneider should have an incisive offensive function, but he played very unsatisfactory in intensive defense. Aldridge let him only be responsible for the cross and tandem effect of the offense, and Thuram assisted not to go down. , And instead cruising in front of the penalty area, looking for long-range opportunities.


    This is not the way to go, nor is it Aldridge¡¯s ideal tactical execution plan, because Schneider was already on the first line. If he was only passing when he was marked, there was no unexpected effect.


    Shevchenko didn''t need to remind him too much on the court. Although he played right-winger in training, his duty was to cope with the forward penalty zone and turn him into a scorer. It is also a good choice to let him play on the left, but the reason is the same Yes, after Zambrotta assisted, Shevchenko still had to insert into the penalty area to form a threat.


    After the substitution, Shevchenko immediately created a chance to play. He was better at driving the ball inside than Pire, and his running position made Leeds United''s back line unpredictable.


    Schneider''s cross came to the goal point, and Shevchenko grabbed a kick at the back post to hit the ball on the crossbar and bounced it out.


    There was a huge sigh at the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium, followed by warm applause.


    The green Shevchenko touched his face, feeling as if he had failed to guilty, but he saw that no teammates showed blame on him, he exhaled heavily, and then ran back to participate Defense.


    Time passed by one minute and one second, news from Newcastle United and Manchester United had come, both teams were leading their respective opponents, Manchester United had already led Nottingham Forest by four goals, and they would get three points without suspense. .


    Shevchenko''s forward insertion put great pressure on the Leeds defense line, and Larson began to actively withdraw, helping Nedved to share the offensive pressure.


    When the seventy-fourth minute of the game came, Nedvide returned the ball to Makelele. Makelele, who drove the ball halfway through the half, passed the ball to Larson, who was right in front of the penalty area.


    Before receiving the ball, Larson had already begun to observe the surrounding situation.


    As Aldridge told at halftime, calm down!


    Schneider''s running to the bottom took away the full-back. Trezeguet pulled the back line in the penalty area. Shevchenko and Nedved''s forward insertion also made Leeds United''s defensive player. Mark yourself immediately.


    Larson didn''t fall into the siege except that he had a midfielder to come up and rob him, and he was very grateful to Trezeguet. This partner would really run out of position and pull away in the opposite direction to take away. The central defender on the right side.


    The moment the ball rolled over, Larson''s right foot ready to catch the ball suddenly lifted up, allowing the ball to roll under his feet. At the same time, he turned and ran forward, and the ball was forced to grab from under his feet and behind him. Rolled between his legs.


    It''s beautiful and clever!


    Larsson turned to face the penalty area and took the ball home. After Trezeguet opened the right central defender, in a short span of time, there was a gap in the final defense of Leeds United. Larsson''s dribble burst A single-pole trend has already formed.


    The goalkeeper nervously lowered the center of gravity and opened his arms to expand the defense area, and the defenders rushed to Larson.


    At this moment, Larson knocked the ball to the left, and Trezeguet, unmarked, hit the ball into the empty goal!


    "In seventy-five minutes, Millwall finally scored! They pulled one back, two goals away to maintain the championship advantage, and fifteen minutes, can they do it? Oh, oh, wait, Wait, terrible, Trezeguet went to the goal and picked up the ball, but he sprained his foot. It¡¯s strange that today Millwall¡¯s players always hurt themselves without confrontation, maybe they are too tired."


    Trezeguet had been tense before. After entering the ball, he suddenly felt a little relaxed. As a result, when he was anxiously picking up the ball, he shattered his feet. This is because the body was extremely tired and the movement and thinking could not be synchronized.


    He wasn¡¯t hurt badly, but he couldn¡¯t continue the game anymore. He went straight out of the bottom line with annoyed face. He asked Nedved when he came up. He said frustrated and guilty: Let''s change the boss quickly. We still have time. The boss said we can win, we will definitely win!"


    Nedved touched his head to give him some comfort, then ran back to halftime.


    Aldridge had to replace Trezegue with Solskjaer.


    Even though the baby face is sure to leave in the summer, Aldridge still gives him a chance because he feels that he and these players are friends in life. If Solskjaer stays in the club for a minute, he has the responsibility to make him fair. Treat, have the opportunity to let him play, Aldridge will not hide him because he wants to transfer.


    Before changing to the field, Aldrich specially arranged some tactical requirements for Solskjaer. Solskjaer listened carefully. Even if he was about to leave, he always thought that Aldrich said every word to him was huge His invisible wealth can make him use it for life.


    In the second half, Leeds United still left two players in the frontcourt to find a counterattack opportunity, but after 80 minutes, they retired and no longer have illusions about counterattacks. As long as they no longer lose the ball, they can still Take away three points at the Lion''s Cave Stadium.


    Solskjaer didn¡¯t take Trezeguet¡¯s place after playing, but instead pulled out the penalty zone with Larson, and cooperated within a small area of ??the frontier of the penalty zone. When Solskjaer sent Thuram one After the chance of a long shot from the foot, Leeds United''s back line was immediately alert, even though the foot shot from a long shot.


    The back line starts to come out, to avoid players like Nedvide and Thuram who plug in later to form a long-range shot, and also compresses the cooperation space between Larsson and Solskjaer.


    When the game progressed to the second minute of injury stoppage time, Thuram, who completed a three-footed long shot, finally did not take a long shot again, but instead picked up a pass to the left of the penalty spot in the penalty area.


    The Leeds defenders were dumbfounded. Larson, Solskjaer, and Nedvide were all in front of them, and there was no movement to rush up, but who passed the ball behind them?


    Of course someone answers.


    Shevchenko slanted into the penalty area from the left. The timing of passing was not particularly tacit. He started after watching the ball come out, but Thuram passed the ball with some surprises. All the players of Leeds United He thought he would shoot long, and the opponents at the front of the penalty area were all stared to death.


    Suddenly, she didn''t expect Shevchenko who quickly rushed from the side to the penalty area to complete such cooperation with right-back Thuram.


    The goalkeeper attacked. Shevchenko unloaded the ball before the opponent took off. The goalkeeper threw it too fiercely. The ball bounced from his leg to the back. After landing, he directly reached down and rushed over from him to kick the ball to the goal. Shevchenko.


    The nuclear warhead fell into the penalty area, and the lion fans of the Lions Cave Stadium stood up angrily, frantically slamming the opponent¡¯s goalkeeper for a foul!


    Oh shit!


    If he doesn''t foul, Shevchenko will definitely be able to score the ball directly.


    There is now a penalty kick, especially since it will waste a lot of time.


    The referee halted the game, then sent off the Leeds United goalkeeper and awarded Millwall a penalty.


    Larson stood on the penalty spot and everyone knew the importance of the penalty.


    However, the positive situation is that the opponent''s substitute goalkeeper has come up without warming up.


    Larson pushed the goal lightly and pushed the bottom right corner of the goal, the goalkeeper directly went in the wrong direction.


    Millwall equalized the score!


    Larson immediately went to the goal to pick up the ball and ran back after scoring. Without Millwall players it would be a waste of time, but Leeds United players were not very cooperative and they walked slowly towards the center circle.


    Nedved reminded the referee to delay the time and should give them some extra time.


    All the fans stood up.


    The three minutes before stoppage time passed long ago.


    No one knows when the referee will sound the whistle at the end of the game.


    Leeds United kicked the ball, they passed the ball back, Milvoge''s player rushed up to force the ball, the opposing defender kicked the ball towards Millwall''s backcourt with a big foot.


    The kick was really powerful, high and slow. When the ball landed, the referee''s whistle sounded.


    The game is over.


    Leeds United, determined to relegate, retired at the Lions Stadium.


    Strictly speaking, it was Millwall that tied Leeds United.


    After losing two points in this round, Millwall trailed 5-0 to Manchester United in Nottingham Forest, and was one point behind Newcastle United, a five-point win over Southampton. With two rounds left in the league, Millwall has only theoretical possibility to win the championship.

 Chapter 150： There is a man who is sad but not hurt

    After the game, the players in the locker room did not wash and change their clothes. Even the injured Pires and Trezeguet were sitting in front of the closet. They bowed their heads in a dejected atmosphere, and the atmosphere was uncontrollably breathless.


    Everyone knows that this game failed to win, they have said goodbye to the league champion.


    Five points behind Newcastle United, but there are only two rounds left in the league. Even if they win Newcastle United in the next game, it doesn''t seem to make much sense, just to extend the death penalty to the last round.


    The players were very frustrated, and when Aldridge walked into the locker room, none of them responded.


    Aldridge''s expression was also very painful. He walked around the locker room and then stood in the center, saying with a heavy tone: "I''m sorry, I have failed your trust. The ambition to crave the league championship stunned my mind, I It should be your fault to keep you in a more restful state, but also to make you face the game more sensibly. It is my fault. The constant victory has made me self-sufficient. No opponent can easily win it. I should realize At this point, your performance this season is worthy of the league championship, but I have no way to put the trophy into your hands."


    Aldridge''s words were heartbroken and his self-blame was overwhelming.


    As soon as the words fell, all the players in the locker room looked up at him with a shocked expression.


    After falling off the championship train, the players were fully awake.


    They stared at Aldridge, with a complex light flashing in their eyes.


    Guilt, apology, sadness...


    It was natural to think of the rotation strategy that Aldridge had implemented from the beginning of the season, but at the end of March, the team had no rotation.


    Is the coach not rotating or the players don''t want to be rotated?


    They know better than anyone else.


    When Newcastle United began to decline in the second half of the league, the gap in the standings was continuously narrowed, and the players naturally ignited the ambition of the champion.


    They want to win the championship. Naturally, they need to use the strongest lineup in every game. Even when many players have rested on the training ground in the past month, they will actively ask Aldridge to request continuous battles.


    Aldrich agreed to them.


    However, they overestimated their body and had to take care of the cup and go all out in the league. In the intensive April, they finally showed their fatigue after the limit in the eighth game.


    In this game, they can clearly feel that they want to fight, but they don''t need much effort. The running sprint obviously feels difficult. Before the first half, many players have been breathless.


    At this moment, they seemed to have flashed countless clips in front of them. Aldridge occasionally showed worries on the side of the training ground, and his ears sounded. At each game preparations, Aldridge emphasized dryly and calmly, stably...


    Who actually failed whom?


    The handsome young man who has always looked at the fire put all his responsibilities on his head.


    He is like a father who spoils the child. When the child is not obedient to indulge, the father does not choose to sternly blame, but uses the tolerance of the child to let the child go crazy, when the child hits the wall and the head is broken, the father Still did not blame him, but began to bandage the wound for the child.


    Aldrich can choose to roar hysterically to them, but that will only arouse the child''s rebellious heart, and will only cause an irreparable rift between the two.


    Tears shone in Schneider''s eyes, stood up and walked in front of Aldridge and said softly, "Boss, I''m sorry."


    It was their waywardness that lost the championship, not Aldridge''s arrogance.


    Is he conceited?


    Maybe it was, but he never showed it. He took a serious attitude towards each game and never changed the standard because of the strength of his opponent.


    Aldridge raised a smile and said, "Bernd, don''t apologize to me..."


    "Boy, I''m sorry."


    "Sorry."


    ...


    The players took the initiative to stand around Aldridge and bowed their heads one by one to admit their mistakes.


    Even though some people are not very culturally literate, they still understand the basics of being cool and warm.


    If Aldridge really yelled at you every day to rush for Lao Tzu and snatched the championship back, they will naturally be dissatisfied with the fact that they are almost declared to have won the championship.


    After all, someone has to take responsibility.


    However, that was not Aldridge''s style. He often boosted morale after determining the tone of the game, rather than delusion that the players would kill the Quartet with blood.


    But in the last month, it was the team''s players that were "crazy", and Aldridge''s "lucidity" seemed fragile.


    For example, last year Aldridge could be furious against Beckham, definitely not because of Beckham''s "outsider" status, or because other teammates are implementing the coach''s tactical arrangements, and Beckham''s disobedience, not only angered Audridge , Also committed public anger.


    But recently, the players collectively "rebelled", Aldridge scolded that no one will serve, they are winning, this reason is enough to refute.


    Today''s game, if they listened to Aldridge''s pre-match arrangements from the beginning, not to mention a steady win, but it will never be a result of equalizing the score by a penalty before the end of the game.


    After falling into the abyss from the clouds, the players will seriously examine themselves, and at the same time feel warm and grateful for Aldridge''s tolerance.


    Aldridge smiled and patted the players¡¯ shoulders one after the other, saying, ¡°Don¡¯t blame yourself, don¡¯t blame you. I¡¯m experiencing this for the first time. I lack some experience, but I¡¯ll learn a lesson. We will be stronger in the future, shall we not? All you have to do now is to forget the game, go back and take a rest, do not read the newspaper tomorrow, go shopping with your family, go to a movie with your girlfriend, or enjoy a meal in the restaurant, I can recommend several good restaurants to you. Well, I still have interviews to deal with. You all raise your head. Remember, you are tenacious fighters, you will not be defeated, you will raise your head high, and business will continue as usual! "


    Aldridge turned and walked out of the locker room after he finished speaking.


    The players were all up, showering, eating, eating, teammates sitting together and chatting, Schneider went to play a soothing pop song, and the locker room quickly recovered.


    You don''t have to be stubborn about the game, but after this month''s crazy winning streak came to an abrupt end today, they all understood the fact that obedience to the coach''s command is the most important.


    At the same time, Aldridge was interviewed in the mixed zone and was bombarded by BBC reporters.


    "Is Millwall¡¯s league over after today¡¯s accidental loss of two points at home? I mean you will definitely get a ticket to the European arena. In the last two games, even if you beat Newcastle United, 2 points behind them."


    Aldridge calmly said: "If the result of this game is unexpected, then it is disrespect for Leeds United. Although they are fighting to relegate at this time, their strength is very strong. Four years ago They are still league champions, but they haven¡¯t played well this season. Millwall has won six of the last seven games. I think the team has played very well. The league is not over, whether we can win the championship or not, today It¡¯s not the end, otherwise, can the middle ranking team take a holiday?"


    "How to comment on Millwall''s play today?"


    "The players are very tired, but they persisted, especially in the face of adversity and finally equalized the score. This is a valuable quality on the court, and their tenacious fighting spirit is playing a role."


    "Why don''t you give players a break?"


    Aldridge was silent for a moment, and then said: "When you might win the league title, you will of course want to put all the strongest players on the field, but I made a mistake, I should let the players rest, I think This is the lesson I should sum up. In any case, there are two more rounds in the league, and there is another FA Cup final waiting for us. Next, we will not make mistakes again."


    ...


    Publicly admitting your mistakes is dangerous for the head coach, because it will cause the outside world to fall into disrepair, as well as internal doubts.


    But Aldridge puts the responsibility on his own, not to get sympathy from the players, but to protect the players from being accused by the outside world. If Aldridge is silent at this time, or the responsibility is placed on the players, Tell the truth: the players themselves must stick to the game!


    Then there will be catastrophic consequences.


    Players will become the target, and at the same time will expose his control of the team out of control, when the internal and external problems will make the team collapse.


    In the evening, Aldridge came home, took off his suit and loosened his tie, and sat on the sofa alone, staring at the ceiling with unconscious eyes.


    Benitez went to watch Arsenal''s game today and it is estimated that he will come back very late.


    Aldridge doesn¡¯t know how long Pei Bal will stay here. He doesn¡¯t have time to think about why the opponent is not in Spain to understand which team he will take over next season.


    When he was alone, the doorbell rang.


    Aldridge walked tiredly to open the door, and found that the visitor was Najib. He carried two dozen beers on his left and right.


    When he came to the living room and sat down, Najib took the initiative to open the beer and handed it to Aldridge.


    "Is it hard to get through this time? Is it wrong in my heart? Be gleeful outside and defend the players who have made mistakes, watch the hope of the champion slip away from the fingers, Aldridge, in fact, you are The most painful person, but you have to appease the players."


    Drinking a cigarette and a cigarette, Aldridge smiled slightly bitterly.


    "It sounds hypocritical when it comes out. How can everything be satisfactory in the world?"


    What happened in a season is complicated and difficult to summarize in a simple way.


    Aldridge wants a championship, but he needs a balance point. If he doesn¡¯t get enough results this season, he can¡¯t keep the players. In order to impact the cup championship, the league did not make every effort, but this is also to let more young players grow up quickly. Otherwise, even if the main team won the league title, but next season? It''s still a blue and yellow situation. Once the main lineup has changed, it doesn''t mean that the players transfer, just injuries, it will make the record decline quickly.


    The coach¡¯s vision cannot be short-sighted for a season, but when Aldridge realized that Millwall hoped to win the league title at the end of March, he naturally also started planning. Rotation is necessary because of the dense schedule and player mentality. Stability is also necessary in order to function properly, but when the latter takes the initiative, Aldridge finds that his plan has no possibility of implementation.


    It''s already lucky to be able to hit the penultimate round before the champion''s hopes are broken.


    Millwall''s sprint limit is already the end of the crossbow at Stamford Bridge.


    Aldridge''s concession is because his plan may not be able to steadily harvest the league champion. In order not to distract himself from the players, he can only choose to compromise.


    Is it painful?


    So what?


    To whom do you complain?


    What''s the point?


    Aldridge picked up the beer and touched the bottle in Najib''s hand, and smiled: "I don''t talk about football today, drink a bar."


    The two were drinking one bottle after another, but they did not have the posture of borrowing wine to relieve their sorrow. They chatted about the anecdotes of the past, laughed at each other¡¯s once childish and ridiculous behavior, and talked about the anomalies that happened around them. Puskas'' condition...times and times...

 Chapter 151： Out of bounds!

    Millwall players regretted that they should follow Aldridge¡¯s advice, don¡¯t read the next day¡¯s newspapers, or even turn off the TV. Even if it is on, don¡¯t watch football news and shows.


    A day ago, the overwhelming prediction of Millwall¡¯s prospect of winning the Triple Crown. One day later, Millwall¡¯s entire team was approved.


    Overall, this team is not mature enough and stable.


    Individual players were also pulled out to fight one by one.


    Piley Dribbling Error: Too independent and too selfish.


    Nedved didn''t score: no spiritual leader.


    Larson and Trezeguet have few chances: the performance is abnormal and there is no bright spot except for a penalty kick and a sports goal.


    Schneider: You can''t make a beautiful shot except for a cross?


    The young Spaniard El Gera was bombarded on the back line: both counterattacks and lost goals are related to him. Although he is more like a thorough center defender than Southgate, Southgate''s maturity is He can''t compare!


    Keller has also been the target of media bombardment. All along, the outside world has felt that Millwall¡¯s goalkeeper is a weakness, because you can¡¯t expect him to show a higher level. He will definitely throw the ball that should be lost. He missed the ball and occasionally missed a few goals.


    Needless to say, the head coach Aldridge was naturally mocked and mocked by all parties, just like a falling dog, every passing audience would pick up sticks and head up to his head.


    Players will naturally feel resentful when they see the news, and no sensible person can maintain psychological balance.


    Aldrich is the most open-minded. This is the usual practice on Fleet Street. There is nothing to be fussed about.


    British entertainment media naturally has their own set of secrets for success.


    To put it bluntly is touted and suppressed.


    If you are red, I will blow you up, blowing you away, so that the eyes of the outside world will be focused on you.


    If you are black, I will step on you, stepping on you so painful that you will be stingy with the outside world and your feelings.


    People can''t live without sages, Fleet Street knows this way, so there is no scruples, behind the hype, I don''t know how many reporter editors show sinister sneer: Anyway, you will plant sooner or later!


    No player will be perfect, there will be a performance failure, the team will also encounter the battle of Waterloo, this is all news, and Fleet Street is to make this sparse and ordinary football law into an explosive headline.


    Fair, objective and ordinary mind? Go away.


    Football is also a part of the entertainment culture industry. It is not something that newcomers in the UK can adapt quickly to adapt to this kind of British media, which is faster than turning books.


    Aldridge gave leave to the main players, and for one week, the last two rounds of the league, the main players will not play. After they eased their fatigue in April, they will fully impact the final game of the season and enter Wen. Bully Sword refers to the FA Cup.


    In the last league game at the end of April, Aldridge held a pre-routine press conference before the expedition.


    There are also a lot of reporters coming today. In the past two days, the outside media has fallen like a beast of floods. The reporters want to see if Aldridge will give them some more news.


    For example, gaffes, such as some dressing room curtains.


    What disappointed Fleet Street was that after the game to tie Leeds United, Millwall''s locker room was surprisingly calm.


    Even when the players were interviewed, they just said in an official tone: We did not perform well enough, Leeds United played very well, congratulations on their success in relegation.


    After leveling Millwall, combined with the results of other games, Leeds United has firmly landed.


    This result made Manchester United laugh enough, because in this round, it was their turn to face Leeds United. Although the two teams have hatred, Leeds United will obviously relax in spirit.


    "In recent days, Millwall¡¯s training ground has not seen many of the main players. I heard that you have put them on leave. So tomorrow, who will be sent to the St. James Park Stadium? Which players will you send to play? In theory, Millwall still has hope for a championship."


    Faced with this problem, Aldridge stared at Richard the Daily Mail reporter.


    The other party is also an old friend. Since last season, Millwall has been reported. The press conference has never been absent.


    In the past two days, "Daily Mail" even laughed at Millwall, but none of them was written by Richard. Because he is familiar with Millwall and Aldridge, there is no need to stalemate the relationship. At the same time as the news, he has a tendency.


    Anyway, anyone can do the job, Richard can¡¯t do it himself, and he wants to continue to hear the news from Aldridge¡¯s mouth.


    Aldridge was silent for a moment.


    Is there any hope of winning the championship?


    Have.


    Millwall is based on a two-game victory.


    Newcastle United lost at least one tie, which means that Tottenham cannot win at home.


    Manchester United scored a maximum of 4 points in the two battles, while Manchester United played Leeds at home and ended up playing Middlesbrough.


    Some experts analyzed the probability of Millwall winning the championship, and did not know how he analyzed it. In short, it gave a relatively poor result: 2.78%.


    Quite accurate.


    Aldridge said lightly: "Since the first round of the league, Millwall has never been in the position of leader, so we have not had too strong psychological gaps. I have said many times that we are a young team , We focus on every game, the growth and improvement of the players is the most important task, no matter what the result of the season, I am satisfied with the team''s performance. Also, I repeat, from start to finish, you are Shouting Millwall would win the championship, and now you are pretending that Millwall won the championship and it is a pity. My team and I just want to play every game, nothing more."


    "Then tomorrow to challenge Newcastle United, is your plan to train young players?"


    "My plan is to let the players play a beautiful game at St. James'' Park Stadium and show their strength. This is the goal."


    "Can you tell me about tomorrow''s starting lineup?"


    "Goalkeeper: Bute. Defenders: Zambrotta, Materazzi, Elgra, Capdevila. Midfielders: Gattuso, Vieira, Barak. Forwards: Solskjaer, Van Nistruj, Shevchenko. Do you need the bench list?"


    "That''s enough, that''s enough. Er, excuse me, may I ask, Capdevila, who is Van Nistelrooy?"


    The reporters on the stage were a little dazed, and for a moment they could not remember who these two people were, and there was no impression in their minds.


    Aldridge shrugged: "Capdevila was a full-back we introduced from Spain last summer. In the past season, he adapted to the team and integrated into our tactical system. I decided to give him a chance to show tomorrow. , Van Nistelrooy came to the team the year before, he played a few times, but recently his performance is getting better and better, I think he has the ability to become a standing player of the first team to enrich the striker strength, tomorrow is also his performance The opportunity. I declare that I have confirmed that the ability and mentality of these two young players are enough to be on the Premier League before they will be included in the starting list. Please do not speculate that my platoon formation is inadequate. It¡¯s a lack of respect for Millwall."


    Aldrich¡¯s formation is not a whims or a temporary decision. According to his plan, Capdevila and Fanny should both enter the rotation list at the beginning of April, but this plan was "crazy" by the team. Blocked by the state.


    For young players, it is impossible to buy them today, and they will go directly to the starting game tomorrow. Like Lampard, Rio Ferdinand, Capdevila, Mills, etc., Aldridge will give them a season. To integrate into Millwall, because Millwall''s tactical system is very different from the English mainstream 442. To adapt to the football philosophy here, it requires a series of processes of learning, understanding, adaptation, exercise and so on.


    The youth team and the reserve team are the necessary process before they enter the first team, not to mention they are not very old.


    After the press conference, Aldridge returned to the office to clean up the documents and reports given to him by the club''s departments, intending to go home to rest, and lead the team to Newcastle tomorrow.


    His cell phone rang.


    After answering, there was a voice of Scottish accent, a little dissatisfied.


    "Aldrich, what the **** are you doing? Did you give up tomorrow''s game?"


    In addition to focusing on his own team, Ferguson is more concerned about the movement of Newcastle United. In the standings, Manchester United is 3 points behind Newcastle United. Ferguson pinned his hopes on the game where Millwall can snipe Newcastle United. .


    But Aldridge announced the starting list one day in advance. Obviously, Millwall did not come up with the strongest lineup, and there are none of the eleven main players!


    "I think how do I arrange the starting player, it does not matter to you!"


    Aldridge''s stiff tone made Ferguson silent for a moment.


    "Can you watch Keegan win the championship? He has never looked down on Millwall."


    "Rapid action? It doesn''t work for me! My main players need to rest. If they are sent to the field, my injury list will definitely increase again. Alex, if you respect me, don''t ask me how to command the team, You are out of bounds! Tomorrow, Millwall lost to Newcastle United, not because I wanted to give Keegan a championship. If Millwall defeated Newcastle United, it was not that I sold my life to help Manchester United win the championship!"


    The phone was silent for a long time.


    "I apologized to you just now. Aldrich, can you give me an answer for the transaction I was talking about?"


    "Nedved is not interested in transferring to Manchester United. I don''t plan to sell as much money as you can. I have reached an agreement with Stam. If Millwall cannot win the league title this season, Stam will Stay for another season, and you will ask for the price next summer. I will talk to him again. If he regrets to stay, I can only say sorry. Solskjaer can leave, but Manchester United please give a decent offer, you As I said, he went to Manchester United to play the main role. He played at Millwall this season, but scored more goals than Manchester United¡¯s main striker Cole. If you want to reach a deal as soon as possible, we will be happier."


    "What is your psychological price?"


    "Can you negotiate? My psychological price? I told you directly, is that still the psychological price? Not wordy, ¡ê8 million."


    "What a joke!"


    "Joke? How many goals did Cole you bought 6 million and scored this season? He has scored 11 goals with two rounds left in the league. Bergkamp spent 7.5 million on Arsenal and has scored so far this season. How many goals? 10. My Solskjaer is just a substitute, with 12 goals in the league and 4 goals in the cup. Do you think I¡¯m kidding?"


    "Single price, 5 million."


    "Then we can''t talk about it, 5 million sold a striker who can score nearly 20 goals in a season? Ha ha."


    "6 million, can''t be higher anymore."


    "7 million, don''t let us say goodbye, we will still meet friends in the future, but don''t mention this deal again."


    "Deal!"


    When hanging up the phone, Aldridge could hear Ferguson gritting his teeth.

 Chapter 152： King Keegan who cant defend

    In the first half of the season, Newcastle United''s performance was magical, but in the second half of the league, Hollywood on the Tyne seemed to start producing bad movies repeatedly.


    Newcastle United threw away Manchester United from half way to the penultimate round of the league, the advantage is only three points left, once the three-point advantage does not exist, then they will be overtaken by Manchester United immediately, because of the goal difference, their The disadvantage is very obvious.


    Aldridge led his team as a guest at St. James Park Stadium. The fans of the Magpies appeared anxious in the stands. They hoped that the team would win this strong dialogue, because the lineup sent by Millwall is not particularly strong.


    However, in the first half of the league, Millwall relied on two goals from the semi-main lineup to send away the visiting Newcastle United.


    The status of Newcastle United is worrying, losing to Manchester United in March and Liverpool in April. The ups and downs of the state are unreliable.


    There is a trend that experts have analyzed and concluded: whenever Newcastle United seem to stabilize, they will lose in a strong dialogue and suppress their high morale.


    If they can beat Manchester United or Liverpool, I am afraid they can directly win the championship in advance, because the continuity of the state and the influence of morale will have a completely different effect.


    Aldridge sat on the coach seat quietly and waited for the game to start.


    Kevin Keegan came over to say hello to him as a landlord, smiling and chatting with him about the FA Cup final early next month.


    Talk about Liverpool is not good to deal with Yunyun.


    He seemed to cheer for his old club, but in fact reminded Audridge not to fight for the championship, go to the FA Cup championship.


    Aldrich talked to him in a vain manner and smiled and said a few words. After chatting that the other party had nothing to say, the two separated.


    "What''s there to talk about with him?"


    Jenson whispered in disdain.


    Aldridge said helplessly: "I don''t want to tell him anything."


    With both players on the court, Millwall''s lineup is obviously very young, while Newcastle United has changed significantly from the first half of the league.


    "Welcome to St. James¡¯ Park Stadium, my name is Martin Taylor. If today¡¯s 37th round of the Premier League will determine the winner, then this is definitely not an exaggeration. If Newcastle United defeated Millwall, Then Keegan''s team is likely to win the championship in advance, even if Manchester United wins, at least the initiative is still in the hands of Newcastle United. As for Millwall, it is a pity that this is a season where they have performed well, but they are in At the last moment, I lost the initiative to compete for the championship. Next, my partner Andy Gray will introduce you to the starting list of both sides."


    "Kegan was aware of the team''s defensive problems, so in winter he brought David Batty from Blackburn, a fierce defensive midfielder who could enhance the stiffness and interception of Newcastle United''s defense. Keegan also found a reliable partner for Ferdinand, the Asprila who ended the 58-game undefeated myth of AC Milan. Newcastle United''s starting lineup today is 442 in the midfield, and the goalkeeper: Srinicek. Defenders: Watson, Barton, Albert, Berrisford. Midfielders: Beardsley, Batty, Ginola, Clark. Forwards: Ferdinand, Asprila. Milwaukee All of the players here are substitute players today, and the audience who hopes to see the star matchup may be disappointed. In the lineup of the crazy lion, we can hardly find a particularly familiar figure. They are playing a 433 formation today. The goalkeeper : Bute. Defenders: Zambrotta, Materazzi, Elgra, Capdevila. Midfielders: Gattuso, Vieira, Barak. Forwards: Solskjaer, Van Nistel Rui, Shevchenko. I don¡¯t know if Hall will fight the defensive counterattack that defeated the enemy when he played last time. Let¡¯s wait and see.¡±


    Aldridge is more relaxed today. He just wants to train the team and play his own style.


    And Kevin Keegan was very nervous, he just forced himself to calm down.


    In his view, Millwall is playing counterattack in the case of half of the main force at home, so when he comes to the road and there is no main force to play, he will definitely shrink the defense.


    Therefore, instead of following the 4141 formation from the last confrontation, he used 442, which is not too aggressive. The focus is to allow the two wingers, Beardsley and Ginola to create more opportunities by their personal abilities. Double forwards In a one-on-one contest, Ferdinand and Asprila vs Matrazzi and Elgra do not make sense.


    When the game started, Newcastle United naturally went all out in order to maintain the championship advantage, and did not plan to test their opponents at all.


    Beardsley easily broke through Capdevila and passed the bottom pass. Materazzi also easily pressed Asprila header.


    When the ball started to run under Millwall''s feet, their advantage in the midfield was immediately reflected.


    After Vieira and Gattuso dragged, Barak ran in a wide range of midfield and frontcourt, plus two wingers, Zambrotta and Capdevila assisted, Solskjaer and Shevchen Branch retreated, they quickly advanced to the field after forming a numerical advantage in the midfield.


    Unlike many teams who died at the front of the battlefield, Millwall''s players used more back-and-forth running positions to confuse the opponent''s vision. The offense played very smoothly, which dazzled the audience.


    Aldrich didn¡¯t stand on the sidelines to supervise the war. At first he didn¡¯t want to put pressure on the boys. Standing on the sidelines now seemed like a gesture of winning every battle. This is an incentive for the main players, but for younger ones. For the players, there will be huge pressure.


    Another reason is that he can''t stand the enthusiasm of magpie fans.


    Not that the fans laughed and abused him.


    After all, Millwall is 5 points behind Newcastle United, and the Magpies fans don''t even care about the Lions.


    The enthusiasm of the Magpie fans is reflected in the support for Keegan, who shouted a name on the court to make Aldridge feel cold all over.


    "Kegang! King Kegang!"


    Keegan was regarded as the savior by the Magpie fans, this is understandable, Aldridge just did not want to listen.


    Just as other fans can''t stand Millwall fans'' worship of Aldridge.


    Keegan stood up, clenched his fists and looked at the situation on the field in disbelief.


    What are you doing?


    Is Millwall going for a three-pointer?


    He made a mistake.


    Either the defense is a negative attitude towards victory, nor is the offense necessarily despising the defense.


    Millwall today controlled the game rhythm firmly in his hands through the powerful control of the midfield.


    Newcastle United only started with two attacks, and then they fell into passive defense, and their disadvantages became more and more obvious.


    Millwall''s midfield play was too easy when the old Billzley and the French handsome Ginola could not withdraw the defense on a large scale.


    Vieira, Gattuso, and Barak almost occupied the turf between the two restricted areas by running. They passed the ball smoothly and quickly. The attack was played from time to time, from time to time.


    Seeing Millwall¡¯s advantage off the court, Aldridge turned his head lightly and said to Jenson: "The tactical concept of the next door has already begun to fall behind. If he still plays counter-defense on the court, he will never win the championship. The future trend is that every inch of turf and every inch of the course is competing."


    In the middle of the speech, Barak and Fanny quickly inserted the door before Newcastle United''s rear defense was in chaos. Vieira attacked, before Batty intercepted him and crossed the ball to the rib of the penalty area. Erskjaer was unmarked after inserting the ball forward and volleyed the ball into the corner of the goal.


    "Millwall led! Super goal Solskjaer scored. He started today and was a winger. However, we saw that in the first half of the first half, Millwall''s two wingers frequently Diagonally inserted into the penalty area, making Newcastle United undefeated, Hall is showing his amazing tactics, but I have to say that Newcastle United still has not solved a core problem: Will they defend? When attacking mature teams, their disadvantages are very obvious, playing at Manchester United at home and Liverpool at home. Now, their home is dominated by Millwall."


    Solskjaer smiled after scoring a goal and hugged and celebrated with each teammate. He seemed a little calm and more like a last-minute farewell.


    Apart from Aldridge, no one on the team knew he would leave in the summer.


    Magpies fans like Keegan, and like it often means that they will be blinded by objective facts.


    Critics have been talking about Newcastle''s poor defense for a few months.


    Even satirizing Newcastle United''s defense is an American football defense, the players will only pounce on the offensive players who have the right to the ball, and do not understand what is called the defensive system.


    Kevin Keegan also had a headache, and there was news that he was already looking for a defensive coach to make up for this shortcoming.


    This makes the outside world feel even more absurd.


    You ask a defensive coach to say that you can only teach players defensive skills, but Newcastle United¡¯s problem is not that players will not be able to play defensive skills. Can you say Barton, who bought 4 million pounds last summer, doesn¡¯t know what defense is? Otherwise, why did you buy him! What Keegan should do is to teach the defensive players to get rounded, but he went to hire a defensive coach, obviously not aware of his problems.


    Keegan''s face was green, and he couldn''t understand why Vieira passed the ball, why the lower back Batty was so far away from each other, why Barton and Albert let Solskjaer easily enter the penalty area, and why Watson didn''t Watching Solskjaer tightly...


    Why are so many things in Keegan''s mind?


    Aldridge just applauded and held his chin to continue watching the game.


    The intermittent running of the offensive players distracts the attention of the defensive players at all times.


    You can¡¯t blame Batty¡¯s previous defense and followed Barak until the opponent entered the penalty area and then turned back to mark Vieira is wrong. Nor can you ask Watson to be attracted to the sideline by Capdevila. Keeping up with Solskjaer''s speed while turning back.


    It can only be said that Newcastle United''s defense is terrible.


    Keegan should see how Aston Villa defended and how Millwall''s offensive power was minimized.


    The game was a little one-sided, and the ball has been running in the half of Newcastle United. They not only struggled on the defensive end, but also struggled when they turned from defense to defense, because Millwall''s frontline crazy counter-attack, midfield players quickly retreated Intercepting the pass, the defense after losing the ball is excellent.


    If it weren¡¯t for Fanny to waste two opportunities, I¡¯m afraid the score was rewritten before halftime.


    In the second half, Kevin Keegan replaced Gillespie and withdrew a defender. The purpose was to attack, attack, and **** to attack Lao Tzu!


    He didn''t think he could attack. If they lost the game at home, they would lose the top spot.


    At least a tie is needed.


    Aldridge replaced Barack in the 60th minute of the game, allowing Pirlo to play the midfielder.


    Originally, Aldridge was not going to let him play, but Newcastle United was top-heavy. Unlike in Italy, where a team will defend in the backcourt, Pirlo has a lot of space in front of him, so he can use the pass to tear it apart. The opponent''s defense, especially the opponent also withdrew a defender.


    Kevin Keegan eventually lost to the defensive end, and Pirlo made a good pass to Shevchenko as soon as he played. The routine is basically the same. Shevchenko diagonally inserted the penalty area away from the full-back who turned back and chased, and The central defender was caught off guard.


    A beautiful volley made the Magpie city gate fall again.


    This goal directly kicked Newcastle United from the top of the list.


    Manchester United scored early, leading Leeds United one to zero. Although the score has not changed, but when the news here passes, Manchester United may choose a more conservative way to maintain the top position.

 Chapter 153： The revenge is a bit ruthless

    Newcastle United, which trailed by two goals at home, started a strong counterattack. The backcourt players rushed forward, and the menacing look actually scared Millwall.


    In the 84th minute of the game, their efforts paid off. Ginola passed the ball to the goal through a personal performance. Newcastle United pushed the ball into the goal with a header.


    Bout was a little reluctant, he blocked the near post, but Clark, who inserted the back to the front point, pushed the ball towards the back post. It is difficult to say that he did it intentionally, maybe the header did not hit the goal. At any point, Ferdinand later laughed at the assist.


    "1:2, 1:2. There are almost ten minutes left in the game plus injury time. Will Newcastle United perform a miracle? Will they? As long as they can even the score, even if Manchester United wins, they will still lead Manchester United by one point !"


    I have to say that this season''s Premier League title fight came to the last moment to be able to stage such a plot, which really made the commentator very excited.


    Either way, the Premier League championship will certainly be able to continue to the last round, just like last year''s script.


    After losing the ball, Aldridge still sat on the seat with his chin. When the players looked at him, he just made a light gesture of depression, so that the players should not panic and just play normally.


    Besides, panic!


    The leader is us.


    Regardless of the outcome, the league championship has basically nothing to do with us.


    What if it wins this time?


    Is it hoped that neither Manchester United nor Newcastle United will win the last game?


    Stop stressing yourself.


    Just play normally as a normal game.


    Keegan was very excited to yell at the players on the court, waving their arms to let them go back quickly to set up a formation and wait for the kick-off.


    In any case, he has to fight back for a draw.


    Newcastle United did the same, and then continued the offensive. Millwall players were familiar with the rhythm of their wolves after losing the ball. The players were quick and flexible. When the midfield and backcourt was released, they consciously directly The ball hangs towards the opponent''s second half.


    In the eighty-eighth minute of the game, Gattuso made a free kick and the ball fell to the right side of the frontcourt. Shevchenko, who was unmarked, quickly started and was lightning fast.


    After taking the ball he started a long-distance raid, Newcastle United did not even have a guard!


    The opponent''s goalkeeper attacked, Shevchenko did not greedy, passed the ball to the middle, then inserted the running teenager Van Nistelrooy with the ball and ran straight to the empty goal. After entering the penalty area, he slowed down and gently used his foot arch Pushing, the ball rolled slowly into the goal.


    The St James Park Stadium was silent.


    Fanny ran over excitedly and embraced Shevchenko.


    This is his first goal of the Premier League, he can not help but be excited.


    The selfless Shevchenko''s performance in this game is also quite bright, and the transcript of one pass and one shot is enough to prove his strength.


    Keegan stood as if struck by lightning, just stood there, saying nothing until the end of the game.


    Newcastle United players withdrew with frustration.


    Aldridge walked politely to Keegan to shake hands. During the last league confrontation, Aldridge also said in front of the other party to wish the other party a championship.


    But today, he cut the leader sheep with his sword.


    Newcastle United have occupied the top spot in the standings since the second round of the league. In the penultimate round of the league, they were overtaken by Manchester United with the same points, but Manchester United had more goals.


    This psychological gap makes Keegan really unbearable, and the Newcastle United coaching staff are all nervously staring at the dull Keegan in place.


    Aldridge was apologetic when he saw his picture.


    Even though Millwall was double-killed by Newcastle United in the cup last season, Keegan said something that provokes a contradiction between the two, but Aldrich feels that there is no need for the two to stiffen their relationship, nor is it irreconcilable Hatred.


    This season, the Millwall League Cup, three kills of Newcastle United, can be regarded as a revenge last season, but this revenge seems to be too ruthless, directly keeping the other party for a majority of the league''s leading edge kick, and Maybe Ferguson, who has humiliated him for months, will lead Manchester United to the top.


    Aldridge, who was about to shake hands, suddenly stopped and turned away with a long sigh, but he didn''t take two steps, but was grabbed by his arm again.


    He looked back and found Keegan staring at him with a serious face. Aldrich was afraid that the other side would be hit too hard. At this moment, he was a bit unable to lose and want to be arrogant, so he asked vigilantly: "Something?"


    "Find a private place to chat privately."


    Aldridge stared at him without a statement.


    Keegan quickly released his hand and solemnly said: "Relax, I won''t beat you."


    Aldridge lost his smile and said, "I''m afraid that if you start your hands, you''ll win the prize. Others scold me for not respecting the old and loving the young."


    Keegan was not interested in making a joke, and directly invited Aldridge to his office.


    Unlike Aldridge and other good-looking coaches who got together after the game and forgot to laugh and laugh, Kevin Keegan hurriedly poured a glass of wine for Aldridge, then sat in front of him and asked seriously: "Aldrich, do you hate me?"


    Aldridge shrugged: "I don''t hate, I don''t like it."


    "why?"


    "Because I have no hatred with you, sometimes quarreling is normal, anyway, I don''t think I am careful. The reason for dislike is also very simple, I have never seen you play football, although your reputation is great, but I don''t adore you I watched the game when I was a kid and admired Maradona. Secondly, as the head coach, I don¡¯t think you have anything to worship."


    Keegan frowned, bowing his head frowning, as if thinking about something.


    What''s more interesting is that after he retired, he spent eight years at home. He lived a very comfortable life, fishing and growing flowers, and occasionally traveling to travel. He had more money than many contemporary stars because he joined at the end of his career. In Newcastle United, Newcastle United was cumbersome at the time and could not afford him a high salary, so Keegan added a clause in the contract: If the home attendance rate exceeds 5,000, then I will split the extra ticket income. .


    At that time, the attendance rate at St. James'' Park was bleak. Keegan''s condition was accepted by Newcastle United. Then, with his popularity, he earned a lot of money.


    Aldridge also had eight years before coaching, but he spent eight years studying.


    Keegan needs fame, money, and money. The head coach''s line is not counted as a special person like Aldridge. Keegan''s total assets should be ranked in the top ten in the world.


    Therefore, his pursuit is very simple, that is, coaching achievements.


    Coaching the Magpies for many years, Keegan has lost to Manchester United many times, but he doesn¡¯t think that Ferguson is so great. Manchester United have many stars and strong strength. Losing to Manchester United, the outside world will not feel that Newcastle United has any complaints. Not as good as others.


    Even if this season has released many of the main players in the transfer market and zero-investment Manchester United, there are still veterans such as Schmeichel, Cantona, Keane, Palistre, Elvin, etc. in the team. It is said that Manchester United''s renewal is actually just the five tigers starting to pick the girders, and in this, in addition to Beckham and Phil Neville is the first Premier League season, others such as Giggs, Scholes, Gary Neville , Bart has appeared in the first team in the past two seasons.


    So, Keegan may feel a little bit unconvinced compared to losing to Manchester United.


    But in the Aldridge league double play Newcastle United, the first time is the semi-main lineup, the second time, that is today, that is the full bench lineup.


    He lost his persuasion by mouth. After all, he lost 1:3 at the door. What reason can he find to comfort himself?


    "Aldrich, can you tell me the truth?"


    "Why should I lie to you?"


    "Don''t you have the idea of ??trying to tease me and see me ugly?"


    "That''s the heart of your villain."


    "Well, what do you think is the problem with Newcastle United?"


    "Defense."


    Keegan sighed and said angrily: "Everyone is talking about Newcastle United''s defense problems, but what is the problem? No one can tell. It''s like everyone scolds you, but why scold you, but It¡¯s not clear why."


    Aldrich touched the glass and said casually: "Because there is no universal defensive system applicable to all teams, it is necessary to formulate a defensive strategy based on the characteristics of the players, make up for each other''s shortcomings, players make up for each other, and some defenders are slow, Some defenders are on the move, some defenders have poor predictions, and some defenders are not tall enough, but when they are bigger, where is the weak defense area? Where is the area where the ball is most likely to be lost? What is the focus of the opponent''s offense? It¡¯s all a matter of research. You can¡¯t polish your team¡¯s training today. The next day you can sit back and relax and let the players kick.¡±


    Keegan was dumbfounded. He was definitely not a college-trained coach, so he immediately asked: "You are so young and have never played football. Where did you learn these from?"


    Aldridge raised his eyebrows and laughed at himself: "I started learning blindly, studying the video of the game, marking each player with a code name on the book, and then studying the player''s running track by watching the video repeatedly, watching the defensive players. How did they cooperate? Later, I went to many coaching academies, especially Italy, where you can meet a lot of lunatics, they can tell you about the countless changes in defense and how to deal with them, but they are all talking on the paper, simply discussing Tactics are meaningless, because players always have different levels of ability and different characteristics."


    Keegan nodded his head in a clear look, as if he had figured out Aldridge''s hole card, he then asked: "Then you study the opponent, that is, my team, what do you think is the defensive weakness?"


    "Where? The defense is full of loopholes and there is almost no reliable place."


    Aldridge casually said that Keegan was a little unhappy, and he pulled off a piece of paper from the desk and took a pen to Aldridge, saying, "You write it to me."


    Aldridge sighed, wrote five numbers on the paper, and added a back to the four backs.


    "This is Newcastle United''s backcourt configuration for this game, right?"


    Keegan nodded.


    Aldridge wrote while writing: "Playing on the wing, not considering a one-on-one breakthrough, my wingers and full-backs come up with two hits and one, and your wing is a loophole. Who is your full-back? Anti-my side Defender, my winger is liberated, staring at the winger, my winger will cross without interruption, which requires your defender to turn around, and my striker directly hit the goal is the front, obviously dominant. My midfielder and your midfielder are paired, but what happens when my organizational midfielder comes up? Do you want to use a single midfielder to prevent the width of the court from sixty to seventy yards? My forward can retreat, The winger cuts in, and one after the other, disrupts your defender defense..."


    The arrows drawn on the paper by Aldridge simply turned Newcastle United''s backline into a horse honeycomb.


    Keegan held his hand and wondered: "Why are you always crowded? Playing on the sidelines, you hit two on one, hit the middle, you still hit two on one, even if you hit my back line directly, you become Three strikers. My people are dead?"


    Aldridge snorted and said, "You can go back and watch the video repeatedly to see if your people are dead. Kevin, my team is better than you. This is not me showing off, but the fact that the players Ability is not only a technical ability, physical strength is also an important aspect. At present, there is no statistics on the running distance of players. If there is, I can tell you that the average running distance of my players will be at least 30 higher than your players. %, that¡¯s how it came out with more advantages."


    Although Keegan did not want to believe, he recalled the game, but he was very frustrated with Aldridge''s statement.


    Keegan, 45, and Aldridge, 20, next month have been chatting for more than two hours...

 Chapter 154： King of London

    Manchester United scored a small victory over Zie United, Newcastle United fell at home, the Premier League finale is close, and three teams in the standings have the possibility of winning the championship.


    Newcastle United scored evenly with Manchester United. Manchester United topped the list with a goal difference. Millwall was two points behind the top two. The hopes of winning the championship were slim.


    Aldridge received a text message from Ferguson on his way back to London.


    "Good job!"


    Aldridge responded calmly with a text message.


    "Congratulations to Manchester United for winning the league title."


    Ferguson returned another one.


    "It''s not over yet, anything can happen, Manchester United will not make the same mistake last year."


    Aldrich put away his phone and no longer cared.


    For Millwall players, they quickly understood what was on Fleet Street.


    "Great victory! Millwall reignited hope of winning the championship!"


    "Millwall: Ajax in England!"


    The following day, major London newspapers published reports on Millwall and Newcastle United. After all, it was the most high-profile battle.


    Just like Ajax always has young talents, Millwall also has many young players who have been regarded as talented by the media this season.


    Needless to say, Trezeguet, the main players such as Larson, Nedved, Makelele, etc. have all faded their young coats, and their maturity on the court cannot be treated as a rookie.


    And players like Shevchenko, Barak, Vieira, Elgra and so on have all attracted wide attention from the outside world.


    At the Battle of St. James Park Stadium, Capdevila and Van Nistelrooy also began to enter the public eye. Fleet Street likened Millwall to Ajax in England.


    I just don''t know if Millwall will fall as fast as Ajax.


    This season, Ajax made another good result, reaching the UEFA Champions League final for two consecutive years, although their 53 unbeaten record was ended two months ago.


    Aldridge ate breakfast and read the newspaper the day before the end of the war. Experts had predicted that Millwall had a probability of winning more than 2%. Today, this probability has increased fivefold, about 13%.


    This probability is not a nonsense. Through the scientific prediction method of the bookmaker, it is calculated that the probability of neither Manchester United nor Newcastle United winning or Millwall winning is multiplied, which is the probability that Millwall will eventually win the championship. There is no need to float, because the top two do not win, Millwall wins, and the goal difference must lead them.


    Throwing the newspaper in the trash, Aldridge continued to eat breakfast, training during the day, pre-game preparation meeting, and then attended the press conference of the closing game. Aldridge behaved tepidly, very calmly, the reporter asked the winner Things, he said lightly that he didn''t care, but he was satisfied after playing the last game.


    On May 3rd, today¡¯s Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium hardly saw any visiting fans.


    Although 99% of the visiting team fans are in London, not many of them are interested in coming to the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium, even today¡¯s game can be called a London Derby.


    Millwall vs Queens Park Rangers.


    The latter was unlucky and relegated a round earlier.


    Aldridge followed the lineup from the previous game. The main players were all sitting in the stands. They were preparing for the FA Cup final one week later.


    The hustle and bustle in the stadium, the giant banner on the south stand is very eye-catching.


    This huge picture is very creative.


    Below is the map of Greater London, which identifies the Premier League clubs in the corresponding geographic location.


    Above is the blue lion on the Milwaukee team badge.


    In the middle are striking characters.


    10W2D, King of London!


    Before the game started, there was a sound from the stands resounding through the sky.


    "King of London! King of London!"


    This season, there are seven Premier League London teams.


    Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea, West Ham United, Wimbledon, Queens Park Rangers, Millwall.


    In the London Civil War, Millwall had a draw with Tottenham and Arsenal, and all nine London derby games that had already ended won.


    The last game left is today''s final game. The fans don''t think that the relegated Queens Park Rangers will cause trouble to Millwall, so they directly regarded the game as a steady victory.


    Fans felt that with 10 wins and 2 draws, Millwall''s undefeated and victorious or double-play record of the other six teams improved their position in London without dispute.


    King of London!


    Other London teams can''t refute.


    As a result, Millwall got a nickname in the media: civil war expert.


    This civil war is based in London.


    In the home game in London and the away derby in London, Millwall played very well.


    But after leaving London, Millwall could lose to Nottingham Forest and could not win the Leeds United and Aston Villa teams. This also directly led them to lose out of London although they only lost one game in the 37 rounds of the league. Too many draws in the away game are the key to losing points.


    Aldridge aroused the cheers of the audience when he entered the court, and he applauded calmly to the stands. Today the FA also brought a replica of the championship trophy to the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium, but important officials and officials all went to the Riverside Stadium. Manchester United has always been in control.


    After the players from both sides entered the field, Aldridge was still sitting on the coach''s bench, his expression fluctuating.


    The kickoff is synchronous and kicks off. After the game starts, Queens Park Rangers are in poor shape and their fighting spirits are weak. Most of them are worried about their future. The team will play in the League One next year, and no one knows about the coming summer. Yes, leave.


    Millwall''s youth army is full of fighting spirit. They just want to show themselves and show their strength. As for whether their opponents are interested in competing with them, they don''t care much.


    A group of male lions faced a group of sheep, and the game became a slaughter.


    Solskjaer staged a hat-trick in only thirty-five minutes.


    Aldridge replaced him in the second half. When he was off the court, he formally applauded and bowed to the four sides of the stands. That action was undoubtedly a farewell, although the fans had not yet thought of that.


    Phillips, who came off the bench, could not play the winger. He and Fanny appeared a bit crowded in the middle, but the Queens Park Rangers had no fighting spirit. They just wanted to wait for the game to end. Fanny also scored a goal, and then Audridge replaced After Pirlo, let him adjust the state of the game, the next FA Cup final, Aldridge intends to let him start.


    Mills was given twenty minutes to see how he felt. In the position of the right back, Mills was strong and defensive, but his offense was not satisfactory.


    At the end of the game, Shevchenko and Barak added icing on the cake, and the six-ball bloodbath did not resist the QPR of will.


    The players happily gathered together to thank the fans, and the players in the suits and suits in the stands also came to the court to express their gratitude to the fans for their unremitting support throughout the season.


    The battle on the Riverside Stadium came to an end. Robson failed to lead Middlesbrough to snipe Manchester United. He fell behind at home early and was defeated by Manchester United''s three goals. Manchester United regained the championship this season after missing the league title last season.


    The result on the other side was unexpected. After losing to Millwall, Keegan''s team ended in the main game against Tottenham, but was eventually stubbornly flattened by Tottenham aiming for tickets in the European stadium.


    Although Tottenham didn''t get the UEFA Cup tickets in the end, it helped Millwall reach the second place in the standings.


    Millwall made his debut in the Premier League season, ranking second in the league by two points.


    Without winning the championship, there is no need to celebrate, not to mention their season is not over, in the endless applause of fans, Millwall players and coaches withdrew.


    Aldridge gave the players a holiday, gave them a good rest, and returned to prepare for the FA Cup final three days later.


    In the evening he watched TV with Benitez at home, and the topic of conversation was nothing more than football.


    The BBC launched the Premier League show this season.


    The winning Manchester United is undoubtedly the focus, especially when Ferguson has released many main forces this season and the transfer market has 0 investment to reverse the Newcastle United team to win the championship, which is called incredible. Manchester United is only signing up for a free Substitute goalkeeper, but also obviously a signing of the number of people.


    Millwall became the second focus. The ball critics and famous England fans agreed that Millwall''s performance was unexpected. The performance of the season was very stable, but compared to Manchester United, they only lost in experience. Manchester United has led the way with new players, Schmeichel, Cantona, Keane and other core players have been the mainstay of Manchester United in the past few years. They can keep Manchester United calm in the big scene and help young rookies such as Beckham grow quickly. In contrast, Millwall, almost no one on the whole team has had a league title, playing for the first time in the Premier League. Although the momentum was rapid in the second half of the season, he did not adjust the team status reasonably, and drew Aston for two consecutive home games. Vera and Leeds united so that they missed the opportunity to perform a miracle.


    Newcastle United was unanimously criticized. After all, their lead was too big. Before playing against Millwall in the first half, they led Manchester United by 13 points. Even in early February, their lead was 10 points.


    However, they lost all of the key battles in the second half and did not even get a point.


    Losing Manchester United, losing Liverpool, losing Millwall, not to mention winning, even if it is a tie, perhaps Newcastle United may bring the championship trophy back to St James Park Stadium.


    In the inventory of other teams, Arsenal¡¯s renaissance is a mirror. The Liverpool lineup is strong but lacks the will and temperament to impact the championship. Aston Villa has made obvious progress. The rate of decline of Leeds United is unexpected...


    In the player''s inventory, the Premier League golden boot was Hiller, followed by Larson more efficiently. He played seven fewer games than Hiller, but only scored five fewer goals than Hiller.


    Nedved won the best foreign aid, and pressed Cantona to become the FWA football player elected by the Association of Journalists, Trezeguet pressed Fowler to become the best young player of the PFA, and the professional player union selected Mr. Football is Larson.


    Among other awards selected by various media, most of Millwall''s players are on the list.


    To be fair, Aldridge feels a little unfair. He is more willing to give honor to defensive players such as Southgate, Stam, and Makelele, not to say that the offensive players and defensive players perform better, but he I hope to honor the collective in honor, and the phenomenon of too much offensive players is not good.


    After a two-day break, Aldridge walked into the Lion¡¯s Den Stadium again. He sat on the stands and was accompanied by Melanie. The two were here to watch a final.


    Aldridge supports the home team: Millwall.


    Melanie supports the visiting team: Liverpool.


    This is a FA Cup final, but not the FA Cup final at Wembley four days later, but the Youth FA Cup.


    In the first round of the final, Millwall played 1:1 with Liverpool away. The second round was held today. Millwall has a home advantage.

 Chapter 155： The prodigy who replaced Irving

    Millwall''s outstanding record in the past two years, this season is skyrocketing, which keeps the enthusiasm of the fans unabated. Even in the youth FA Cup game, the small Lions Stadium has more than 70% attendance, tickets It''s not expensive, only 5 pounds.


    Melanie was carefully dressed today, her dark brown long hair curled up, wearing a red slim dress, obviously with the color of the Red Army.


    She was sitting next to him holding Aldrich''s hand, her face full of smiles, her head crooked, she leaned into Aldrich''s ear and said, "Bet?"


    Oudrich, who is a suit and leather watcher, raised his eyebrows and raised his mouth slightly: "Milwall won, I won, Liverpool won, you won. What is the bet?"


    "It''s still the same, but cook yourself."


    "Can you cook?"


    "Learning."


    "That''s still my loss."


    "gentleman!"


    "The deal."


    Aldridge had just finished speaking, and Andrew, who was sitting in the lower row, turned back and smiled, "Can I rub the rice?"


    He also brought his new model girlfriend here to watch the ball today. The slim girl with delicate facial features is said to be a French supermodel. She obviously sits beside Andrew and is not interested in playing football with this group of children.


    Aldridge smiled: "Gentlemanly."


    Andrew smiled vaguely and nodded: "Well, okay, I won''t disturb the world of you two."


    As an agent, of course, Andrew must also pay attention to the performance of the players.


    Today, Millwall¡¯s Youth FA Cup starting lineup includes Glenchard, Lampard, Ferdinand, Capdevila, Pirlo, and Richard Lay, who were not yet 18 years old before the start of the league last year. special.


    From the goalkeeper to the midfielder, there are stars of hope on all fronts, but the frontline is slightly thin, and Glencharr is a winger.


    The players on both sides are on the court, and the head coaches on both sides are Najib and McCauley.


    Liverpool godfather Shankly said: Merseyside has two of the best teams, the first is Liverpool, the second is the Liverpool reserve team.


    At first glance, this person feels crazy, and it is estimated that nine out of nine people think he is bragging.


    In reality, the current Liverpool coach Roy Evans was the head coach of the Liverpool reserve team. At that time, the reserve team was no different from the youth team. The main task was to train players. Evans coached the Liverpool reserve team at that time. Set a series of unprecedented records for the latecomers. Although it is the reserve team''s record, it should not be underestimated. At the same time, the generation of Liverpool reserve team who later became famous and entered the first team was also the successor of Shankly''s successor Paisley. Members, from this point of view, Shankly''s bold words are not untargeted.


    Now the coach of the Liverpool youth team, McCauley, is not small. He is a player introduced by Shankly, but his strength is not impressive. So he put his mind on research and training and tactics. After retiring, he worked hard for several years. Back in Liverpool, Dalglish was appointed as the coach of the Youth Academy and continued to train rookies for Liverpool.


    And the 1996 generation of Liverpool, which debuted today, was precisely carefully adjusted by Macquarie.


    Aldridge also sent him an invitation when he dug Liverpool three players last year, but was rejected by the other party.


    Aldridge appreciates McCauley. The opponent¡¯s train of thought is completely different from the mainstream in England. He does not overemphasize confrontation. He focuses on training the player¡¯s technology and attaches great importance to the player¡¯s moral quality. Once he determines that the player¡¯s conduct is wrong No matter how talented he is, he will not sign this player.


    A glance at Liverpool''s lineup, Aldridge was suspicious.


    Among these talented players, he saw Carragher and David Thompson. The other players did not have any great success in the future. Just as in Class 92, it was not the final achievements of each, but only a few top players appeared. It cannot be copied anymore.


    Aldridge bent down and leaned next to Andrew''s head, asking questioningly: "Why haven''t you seen Gerrard and Owen in Liverpool''s starting lineup?"


    Andrew does not usually have fun all day. He is not the same as Aldridge. Aldrich trains the team and researches his opponents. His job is to observe and discover good seedlings, and then build a good relationship in advance. It¡¯s not bad for everyone to be a good friend if you can¡¯t sign, and it helps build a bigger network.


    Therefore, Aldrich''s doubts are really right for Andrew, who sent people to the youth teams all day.


    Andrew pointed to the visiting team bench and said: "Look, Thompson takes the starting spot, Gerrard can only be a substitute, Owen boy, you said he has a lot of talent, I believed it before, but I think you look away Look, you see, David Ramall in Liverpool''s starting striker. His reputation is many times greater than that of Owen. Owen is giving him a substitute."


    Aldridge was a little dizzy and frowned: "Thompson, I know, Gerrard came off the bench because he is not obvious. In other words, Gerrard is too comprehensive, and the offense and defense are not particularly prominent. This kind of player in the future It will shine. You can tell me about David Ramall."


    Andrew said in detail, it seems that he also focused on this talented young man.


    David Ramall was a prodigy signed by McCauley after a lot of effort. If he took a step late, Ramall was taken away by the Scottish giant Glasgow Rangers.


    In terms of speed, Irving is a bit faster than Ramall, but Ramor''s ability to read the game can also be said that football wisdom is significantly better than Irving, and therefore, Irving was pressed to the bench.


    Aldridge stared at the Northern Irish prodigy, carefully recalled for a long time, and did not remember that in the future European football star has a striker called Ramor, who can''t find this person at all.


    He shook his head and stopped thinking.


    There are many geniuses who can''t play. This is normal. The success rate of professional football is surprisingly low. Moreover, the growth of talented players also requires appropriate soil. The external environment and internal potential are important conditions that affect the ultimate success.


    Some players gave up, some were destroyed by injuries, some players were abandoned by coaches, and some were buried in a team that completely conflicted with their own characteristics...


    It''s just a few steps at the critical time. It''s not enough to work **** your own. It''s like a bright future. If you can''t go through this step, the genius will fall.


    After the start of the game, the two teams played a wide open match, both sides are teams that pay attention to technical and tactical characteristics, and run counter to the mainstream of English football, so the confrontation is not particularly fierce, and the team coordination and personal technical play have many highlights .


    Millwall''s double midfielder is Lampard playing Pirlo. Lampard is defensive. The core of Pirlo''s midfield organization. The former has a large running range and can attack and defend. Pirlo''s defense is assisted by Lampard. There is also a front waist and Lampard running to cover and firmly control the ball.


    However, Millwall does not have a reliable striker. In addition to the speed and skills of Glencharr, the two forwards and the front waist of the front line are of average talent. They are more playing teams and there is not too much personal technical display.


    This made Millwall''s offense not to score.


    Liverpool have also been hit by the wind and water, and the rapid advancement in the counterattack is quite lethal. Thompson''s ability to attack and defend is also very large. The performance is impressive.


    Aldridge not only pays attention to Thompson, but also pays attention to Lamor''s performance on the front line.


    He wanted to see what the prodigy could do to put Irving on the bench.


    Soon, Ramall let Aldridge get what he wanted.


    His off-the-ball movement is very positive and will never let the guard stare him to death.


    In a side attack, Ramall first pressed into the penalty area, then suddenly withdrew, and received the ball as expected. The skill at the foot knocked the ball gently, between the legs of Ferdinand. At the same time, Ramall walked past him, and then hit the ball with a kick. The ball was blasted into the gate guarded by Wright.


    Liverpool led 1-0 away.


    This ball made Aldridge stunned.


    This is not just relying on technology. His previous sense of running without the ball, combined with the rhythm of the center of gravity when the defender retreated and then grabbed, completed this personal performance.


    "Oh, I said, he''s a genius, and Owen''s kid just ran a little faster than him."


    Andrew turned back and laughed.


    Melanie smiled like a flower, smiled in Aldrich''s ear: "I won!"


    Aldridge shrugged: "There is more time in the game."


    Millwall conceded a goal and Liverpool scored, but the coaches on both sides were not celebrating or frustrated.


    McCauley and Najib, as head coaches of the youth team, know better than anyone that this insignificant game does not mean anything at all.


    The significance of training players is more important than championship and victory.


    The concept of youth training in European football is also the same, so many national teams of all ages have repeatedly scored big scores when participating in international competitions. People who don¡¯t understand will say that these children are not reliable and score many goals. But there were also a lot of goals conceded.


    In fact, the youth training concept is completely different from the adult team. The adult team needs a record, the youth team can not!


    Because the youth team is to train talent, not for the championship.


    The head coach''s requirements for young players will not be too harsh. The important thing is to let them develop their talents, creativity and randomness are higher than professional players, so it is not surprising that they often play big scores.


    The winning and losing of the youth echelon is not so important. This is not the same as the primary school exam, middle school, and college entrance exam. The real test is after entering the society.


    Millwall quickly equalized the score, Glennshire¡¯s progress in the past few months was more obvious, especially after the ball has made great progress in technology, plus his not weak explosive force, although the shot after the ball cut The angle is not tricky, but the Liverpool goalkeeper panicked and let the ball leak under his arm.


    In the second half, Lampard helped the team to overtake with a long shot. Before the end of the game, Pirlo drew the ball forward and used a good pass to tear the Liverpool''s back line. At 3:1.


    Millwall won the Youth FA Cup this season.


    At the end of the game, Aldridge, like other live audiences, got up and applauded the performance of these young players.


    He leaned forward and said to Andrew: "What is the status of Ramall''s contract, do you know?"


    "I know, he has a one-year contract with Liverpool, but Liverpool is considering signing a new contract with him. How can they let go of this kind of prodigy?"


    "Staring at his contract, if there is a chance, I want to bring him to Millwall. This kind of player is a waste in Liverpool."


    "Well, I will follow."


    In this game, in addition to scoring goals, Ramall also created a lot of opportunities for his teammates. He is a player in Liverpool who has performed as well as Thompson, but his teammates seem to be unable to keep up with his thinking and cooperate with him. Always one step slower.


    But this kind of player is Aldridge''s favorite striker. He has excellent reading skills, a sense of making the ball, and good explosiveness and speed. He can pass and shoot. It is not an exaggeration to call him a prodigy.


    After walking out of the Lion''s Den Stadium after the game, Aldridge smiled at Melanie: "Are you learning cooking? I hope I won''t diarrhea."


    Melanie also looked at him with a smile and said in surprise: "What does it have to do with me? You won."


    "Yeah, I won. You should invite me to dinner."


    "No no no, whoever wins, please, Chef Aldridge, you have to show your hand again tonight."


    Aldridge was stunned, and then shook his head bitterly into his old BMW.

 Chapter 156： Thanks Liverpool

    May 10.


    Millwall and Liverpool coach Wembley, the Swordsman FA Cup champion.


    Millwall fans once again flooded into Wembley Stadium like a tide, and fans from Liverpool who came from far away were not far behind, trying to gain momentum in the stadium as much as possible.


    Millwall¡¯s preparation for the final was calm. Aldridge declined all interviews. The usual training work was not as heavy as usual. The training program will be adjusted appropriately according to the player¡¯s physical condition. At this time, the coach will not expect the usual. What is the effect of training, more is to adjust the state of the entire team.


    When they came to Wembley, Liverpool first arrived here.


    When the players went on to warm up, they were unexpectedly attracted by a chic landscape on the field.


    Liverpool players McManaman, Redknapp, James, McCarter, Collymore and Fowler and other main players are wearing a milky white Armani dress standing there talking and laughing.


    They look handsome and chic, full of star celebrities.


    This made Millwall players dumbfounded.


    What are they doing?


    Not here to play football?


    Or did they not play in this game?


    Jenson scolded the players and asked them to hurry up to warm up. This made the players wake up like a dream, but during the run, they secretly took a look at the players in Liverpool suits and leather shoes.


    Not to mention, it''s really dazzling.


    Jenson stared at the gang of Liverpool players in confusion. Today''s newspaper reported on Liverpool''s "spicy brother" incident. On the eve of the finals, they were photographed enjoying the nightclub.


    Jenson felt strange and secretly muttered: Am I crazy or the world is crazy?


    The poor pale Liverpool players in this honour book, do not plan to play in the future?


    Aldridge stood on the player''s tunnel and looked on coldly.


    He felt sad for Liverpool.


    He has always failed to understand the coach of Roy Evans. It is reasonable to say that the other party is under Shankly. He should know the spirit of the soul of the Red Army created by Shankly best. In my hand, not even the most basic discipline in the team!


    McManaman Fowler and his team of players felt that they were so individual and very powerful. Aldridge only felt that they were overwhelming.


    Aldridge is also flattered by Fleet Street as a young handsome, but no matter what he does, it is related to football and is based on victory.


    If you think of picking up drugs and showing off wealth as a personality to show off, it is definitely a disability.


    He didn''t understand that the Liverpool players didn''t even get a top-level league champion, who showed them such a catwalk show.


    There is no cure.


    Lamenting for Liverpool, Aldridge suddenly thought, if this group of players can be more disciplined and put their focus on the court, after two years, the team will make up the third line, Carragher, Gerrard, Owen, oh, and With the introduction of Hypia, why is Liverpool unhappy?


    Eh?


    What did I think of?


    Aldrich raised his head, and a sudden flash of thought caused him to immediately take out his phone and send Andrew a text message.


    "Find a player: Sami Hepia."


    Beginning this year, the competition for digging people has started to become stronger. In February this year, UEFA officially began to implement the "Bosman Act". This is the result of a game with the EU. Even the EU promotes the abolition of the transfer system and believes that players have Freedom to choose the right to work, this makes even FIFA have to stand up to support UEFA, otherwise this is to destroy the foundation of professional football.


    If the players can transfer freely anytime, anywhere, not to mention the football rules will be messed up, it is estimated that hundreds of teams will immediately apply for bankruptcy, they can¡¯t play, there is no room for survival, they can still train players to sell money before, and later Cultivate? After training, there is no transfer fee income, who will build a youth training system?


    When the "Bossman Act" came out, it meant that the relationship between the players and the clubs began to turn from a weak position. Therefore, Stam was able to reach an agreement with Aldridge. Before doing so, this kind of thing would be put in other clubs, not letting you go. Even if you don¡¯t let you go, you won¡¯t be able to play for me or transfer to other clubs when the contract expires.


    The club¡¯s strong attitude began to weaken, so Aldridge felt that his network talent space became smaller, because the slightly famous players would also ask for high wages, and other teams would not ask for low prices in order to grab talent resources. Transfer fees In terms of salary and the reputation of the team, Millwall will have no advantage.


    He suddenly remembered Hypia and wanted to see if he could dig in advance. Although the central defender reserve is very sufficient on the team, Millwall also has to face the parties to dig the corner. He has to plan ahead.


    When the game began, Liverpool''s spicy buddies finally took off their milky white dresses and began to warm up.


    Aldrich first returned to the locker room, waiting for the players.


    After the players walked into the locker room one by one, Aldridge smiled easily with his arms crossed and asked, "Have you seen the Liverpool players?"


    The players nodded together with different expressions, but most of them felt weird.


    Never seen someone in a suit chatting and drinking before playing football, so they thought they had gone wrong.


    "Envy?"


    Aldridge continued to ask.


    Trezeguet shouted directly: "Boss, they are idiots, we are here to play football, not to eat."


    The teammates laughed.


    Aldridge snapped his fingers, smiled, and said in a deep voice: "I hope you will remember them and always remember! Before the day when you retire, don''t forget them! It is best to see them in the nightmare of sleeping! "


    The players squinted, not understanding why Aldridge said so.


    They are all men, remember a group of men? Don''t forget to dream?


    Aldridge cut his teeth: "Fowler has scored a lot of goals this season. McManaman has 25 assists. Are they good players? Yes! Excellent? Excellent! However, they are over and their careers are over. That¡¯s what it has done! How much potential do they have? I don¡¯t think it¡¯s worse than us! However, they have chosen depravity, squandered youth, and no progress! Of course you have to remember them and never forget You open your eyes wide and look at the trajectories of the Liverpool geniuses who are smug in suits today, and their careers will go in the future! I can tell you that they will be remembered for only one reason, that is the lesson! It is all Head coach, I admonish you like this: Don¡¯t learn from them! You¡¯re done! If you¡¯re good at your talents, no matter how hard you try in the past, you¡¯ll lose everything. That will only accelerate your career death and make you retire You can¡¯t even get a champion medal that you can comfort yourself! If you learn them, you can only regret it when you are old, why there is no cliff to kill, why you have not restrained your desires, and why you have not put more time on the court Why did you let your name pass the word great!"


    The locker room was silent, Aldridge was excited, and finally even roared out.


    The players'' expressions from the previous ridicule of Liverpool players became dignified and firm.


    Aldridge will not warn them lightly. His guidance to the players must be shocking every time. If it is usual, he will not have much effect to say so, but today he is very grateful to the Liverpool players.


    Thank you for being able to use it as a negative teaching material for my players.


    "Liverpool came to Wembley, for what? Of course it was for the championship trophy. However, their suits and shoes came here to talk and laugh, and obviously didn''t put us in the eyes. I was wondering, they are energetic and can play yesterday, Today we still have confidence to beat us to win the championship. They even forgot to kill them in the Millwall League. They seem to have forgotten. It seems that the lesson we gave them is not deep enough. It seems that the sweat we have worked hard is not worth in their eyes. Mention. Tell me, can we lose today? Can the group of hot guys in suits play football succeed? Do we just watch them take off their suits and play football, and then put on suits to claim the prize? Tell Me, can you accept it?!"


    "No!"


    The players shouted in unison.


    Aldridge''s eyes firmly asked again: "What should we do?"


    "Destroy Liverpool!"


    "Not enough! Far from enough! You have to tell everyone in Liverpool: You are a group of pens, idiots, idiots! We will tell them by action, we are the king of the football field! We work hard, we are serious, we unite, we I will hold up the championship trophies, then laugh at them, and encourage them to go to the nightclub every day. Finally, we turn around and don¡¯t look at them anymore. They are garbage, we don¡¯t have to ignore them anymore, even if they cry, angry, beg We don¡¯t care if we have compassion and sympathy, because we are strong. On the football field, we don¡¯t know what compassion is. It is the patent of the weak, and it is given to Liverpool."


    "Correct!"


    The fighting spirit of the players was completely released, and Aldridge glanced firmly at each player, then shook his head to signal the players to play.


    But when the team members walked out of the locker room bravely, Aldridge stopped Pirlo.


    When there were only two people left in the locker room, Aldridge stared at Pirlo and asked Shen Sheng: "Andrea, what''s the matter with you?"


    Pirlo was too calm today. The other teammates were already stubborn, but he seemed to be a little nervous. His forehead was sweating when he was sitting in the chair.


    "Boy, today is the final, I, I..."


    Aldridge patted his shoulder and comforted: "Don''t worry, just play normally."


    "I am only 17 years old this year."


    boom!


    Aldridge slammed into Pirlo''s closet with a fist, and then stared at Pirlo''s eyes, his eyes full of fire.


    "Pirlo, today is the FA Cup final, the **** oldest FA Cup final with the most teams! I know you are nervous, I know you are worried about your poor performance, but I have confidence in you, Ask me a hundred times, I have confidence in you, so, as the head coach, I have no problem. Now it is up to you, you are seventeen, yes, you are seventeen. Matteus is eighteen To fight for the country, Seedorf, Kluivert won the Champions League at the age of 18, Fowler squeezed Rush on behalf of Liverpool at the age of 18, Ovimas took the lead at the age of 18, and Hiller was at the age of 17 I played a hat trick with Arsenal. If you think you can¡¯t bear today¡¯s game at the age of 17, you have to wait another year or two. Now tell me, I¡¯ll replace you from the starting list. Barack, who is two years older than you. , Vieira, they can¡¯t wait to start! Do you know what did Trezeguet, who is only two months away when he was 17 years old, come to the team? I let him start and he nodded and nodded. Me: Boss, give it to me, I can definitely score! One, two, three, he will tell me again and again: Boss, I scored today, please let me continue the next Starting, or, boss, I¡¯m out of luck today, and I¡¯m sure I can score in the next game, so please let me start! Pirlo, tell me, what do you want to say to me at the age of 17?¡±

 Chapter 157： Heart of the Mad Lion

    When Pirlo was the last to walk on the court, his expression had become aggressive, and his face was full of ambition.


    He stood tall and stood with his teammates for a final photo.


    When Aldridge came out of the player channel, he immediately attracted the attention of the camera.


    He stood on the sidelines and watched Pirlo''s expression, reassuring him a little.


    Unlike Trezeguet¡¯s return to Europe from Argentina, like coming to a big city from the countryside, he was not afraid of tigers when he was a newborn calf.


    Pirlo was affected by the Italian football atmosphere, and his mind seemed very calm. This affected his mentality, which had both advantages and disadvantages. This player has a high quotient because he understands the qualities of good players. The disadvantage is that sometimes it is too Too much reason, but lack of impulse to ignore.


    He was worried about his lack of strength when he examined himself, especially today is the traditional giant Liverpool.


    Different from playing Tottenham Aldridge to start him, this game is still a final to determine the winner.


    Sometimes players will be confused. At a critical time, someone needs to remind them.


    If Aldrich said to Pirlo: Yes, you are still young, wait a minute, we are not in a hurry, I do not put pressure on you, you sit on the bench.


    In this case, Aldrich felt that Pirlo would sit on the bench forever.


    In front of this hurdle, you should bravely cross over, so that you can completely transform.


    Is he young?


    young.


    But what about being young?


    Was Rooney young when he became famous? Was Owen young when he became famous? Hiller, Redknapp Jr., Giggs, Fowler, and later Fabregas, etc., these are not the stars of other leagues, but the Premier League.


    In terms of ability, Aldridge does not think that Pirlo lost to any contemporary or latecomer. In the past season, Pirlo has been integrated into Millwall¡¯s tactical system through more than half a year of training, and Aldridge has not demanded him. You just need to sort out the midfield. Others don''t have to pursue too much, plug in long shots, and do what you can. No one can blame you if you can''t.


    "The 95-96 season of the FA Cup final is about to start. The two teams that entered the final this year are Liverpool and Millwall. Both teams are from the top league. In terms of background and background, Liverpool naturally No one knows it, but this season Millwall has caused a youth storm in the Premier League. They have won the league runner-up and the League Cup. Every season, there are always promotions to surprise us, such as Leeds in the past few years. United, Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest, etc. This year''s Millwall shines. Many players in their team have grown into Premier League stars. Under the guidance of Aldrich Hall, Millwall''s tactics have also become In addition to the highlights of the Premier League, countless ball critics are now analyzing Millwall''s tactics, and the debate is very fierce."


    "We saw Millwall''s starting lineup today. It seems that Hall has completely abandoned the 442 formation. In the past two rounds of the league, what appeared in front of us is a 433 formation. The same is true today. Starting goalkeeper: Keller. Defender: Thuram, Stam, Elgra, Zambrotta. Midfielders: Makelele, Pirlo, Nedved. Forwards: Larsson, Trezeguet, Shevchenko. Pire Because of a leg injury, he failed to appear on the team¡¯s roster. Larsen played the left side, and the right side was the Ukrainian teenager Shevchenko. Liverpool¡¯s starter, goalkeeper: James. Defender: Jones , Wright, Scalas, Rudock. Midfielders: McCartil, Barnes, Redknapp, McManaman. Forwards: Fowler, Collymore. Ranked No. 1 in offensive firepower Liverpool, the top two, against Millwall, the third offensive firepower, seems to be a goal-scoring battle today."


    After the players of both sides shake hands, Nedved, who is the captain on the field, walks to the referee and waits for the ownership of the kickoff.


    Liverpool fans in the stands sang loudly, and then started cheering for the team, Millwall fans were not outdone.


    But their singing changed.


    "Everyone likes us, we still don''t care!"


    Hearing this kind of singing, Aldridge couldn''t help but smile, which is the character of Millwall.


    Millwall kicked off the game and the game kicked off.


    Five minutes before the game, Millwall played a bit conservatively, but fell back and forth in the midfield and backcourt. This was to familiarize himself with the field and the ball. The ball rolled on different grass, and the speed and trajectory will have slight differences. The ball feels the deepest.


    At the same time, it is also an observation and temptation to see what posture Liverpool is today.


    Most of Liverpool¡¯s main players played yesterday. He played slowly today.


    Aldridge sneered in his heart: If he lost to this group of sick donkeys, would Millwall still be called a mad lion?


    He waved his hand lightly and gave clear instructions on the court: attack, no ink.


    Pirlo served as the organization''s midfielder today. He is extremely focused. He observes before receiving the ball and runs without the ball. Basically, he thinks about what to do next before taking the ball.


    In the locker room, Aldridge''s roar to him completely cheered him up. He not only needed his own confidence, but also needed others to give him confidence, and these, Aldridge gave him!


    Liverpool focus on Nedved, but Nedved often runs out of the ball on a large run, so that the tired Liverpool player can¡¯t even touch his jersey, and the organization of the ball is always under Pirlo¡¯s feet. Pirlo was very relaxed when facing a crazy rush.


    Zambrotta and Thuram stepped forward to assist, and Millwall''s offensive advantage quickly showed up.


    Liverpool clearly couldn''t keep up with their rhythm.


    The fat man Rudock was caught by Thuram and Shevchenko and fell back after chasing himself. Thuram drew the ball and did not make an urgent cross. He killed the penalty area and forced Liverpool The defensive line had to be pressed against him, and after he attracted the defensive player, he made a pass back and passed the ball to the top of the penalty area.


    Shevchenko, who cut in midway, did not touch the ball and deliberately missed it, shaking the Liverpool defensive player again, which led Nedved to shoot long and unmarked from the front of the penalty area.


    Facing the ball with a powerful volley, he flew out from under his feet, and Nedved looked firmly at the trajectory of the ball flying out.


    David James stupidly stood there, and he didn''t react at all. His eyes were just staring at Shevchenko, thinking that Thuram''s pass, Shevchenko would take the ball, but the other party missed the ball. Devide followed a long shot and hit the other side of the goal. James bent over and straightened, spreading his hands helplessly.


    What is the defense doing?


    "The goal has been scored! In the twelfth minute of the game, Dewede kicked the door of Liverpool with a kick. Liverpool obviously entered the game slowly, they seemed to be unable to run, and Millwall made part by interposing the running position. The number advantage is unbelievable. There will be more Millwall players in front of Liverpool. Nedved opened the record for Millwall. Will they become the double cup king this season?!"


    Nedveden ran to the corner flag, and then made a kiss to the jersey team logo in front of tens of thousands of fans in the stands, and the teammates who chased him behind him shouted with fists.


    Aldridge closed his eyes and clenched his fists, swinging up and down slightly in front of him.


    This game is actually the tactical play Millwall will play next season.


    With the combination of the side and the center, in addition to the delayed midfield, the attack launch point also has a full-back, which can explode on the whole side.


    Nedved''s organizational role will be weakened, but his threat to the opponent''s goal will rise linearly, and he will have to break into the penalty area more frequently and break the goal! And his presence will directly attract Pirlo''s defensive attention, allowing Pirlo to play more space and complement each other.


    Liverpool started to attack violently after losing the ball, but their set of wing pass tactics, Millwall was not afraid, Redknapp tried to break the ball and was intercepted by Makelele, Pirlo immediately rushed forward , Makelele did not hesitate to pass the ball to his feet.


    Pirlo took the ball forward, and after finishing a collision with Nedved, he came to the front of the penalty area. The opponent''s defender Scalace pushed up. Pirlo calmly penetrated the penalty area and rushed from the right to the penalty area. Shevchenko hit the ball and hit the ball with anger, James was caught flat-footed and saved a step late, the ball rolled into the net from his armpit.


    "In the opening twenty minutes, Millwall led by two goals! What are Liverpool doing? They are not at all, Millwall played amazingly, this counterattack completely penetrated Liverpool''s defense, and it was only nine days before ten. Seven-year-old Italian guy Pirlo, his calm straight ball gave his teammates an assist, Ukrainian Shevchenko made an effort to choose his own shot, fortunately the ball was scored, otherwise he would have wasted a golden opportunity Because, on the other side, Trezeguet and Larson are out in place, as long as Shevchenko passes the ball, then the two teammates can play the empty goal. In any case, Millwall leads by two goals!"


    Shevchenko scored and rushed for Pirlo who assisted him, but Pirlo turned and ran to the coach seat.


    Aldrich was surrounded by people, surrounded by people, Pirlo rushed in front of Aldridge, Aldridge asked his head frantically and asked, "How is it? How is it? Can you do it? Tell me, you Can it withstand such a game?"


    Pirlo hugged Aldridge fiercely and shouted excitedly: "Boss, I''m fine! I''m fine!"


    "Not only is there a problem, you still have to enjoy the game! This is your stage! Tell the world, your name is Pirlo, you are not the next Baggio, you are you, Pirlo!"


    The whole team swarmed up and down to celebrate the birth of the second goal.


    Liverpool was completely beaten.


    Evans was helpless.


    He couldn''t even figure out who of Millwall''s midfield offensive players is more threatening? Is it Nedved or Pirlo?


    The former scored, the latter assisted.


    Millwall''s offense was unpredictable. Mo said that Redknapp Jr. had a defensive midfield in the backcourt after being attacked, and even two defensive midfielders would only be teased.


    After the celebration, Aldridge waved his arms to the stands on the sidelines: cheer louder.


    This is London. Let the Liverpool people fear it!


    Liverpool still have to attack, not attacking is equivalent to watching opponents win the championship.


    But today Millwall''s play is top-notch, the main players who have rested for more than ten days have performed well, and on the basis of teamwork, individual play is also amazing!


    Larson dribbled inwards after cooperating with Zambrotta on the left side. After dribbling the ball horizontally, he tricked Wright with a fake action and then changed the line to the ball and entered the penalty area. Facing James, he dexterously pushed. Shooting, the ball rolled over between James'' legs, piercing through the big and small doors together!


    In the 36th minute of the first half, Millwall led by three goals!


    Liverpool were completely beaten to find North!


    The more they attack, the more unruly they play.


    Before the end of the first half of the game, Millwall passed a series of smooth passes and cuts. Trezeguet leaned on Scarles in the penalty area and used the chest to stop the ball and made the ball back into the penalty area. De Verde, the latter once again volleyed the ball into Liverpool''s gate.


    4:0!


    A crazy score was already scored in the first half!


    Nedved ran across the court and even took off his jersey to reveal his masculine and muscular body.


    The flashing lights on the side of the court never stopped, making people''s eyes unbearable.


    Millwall''s ambition and united efforts completely destroyed Liverpool in the first half!

 Chapter 158： The double cup king who made history

    At halftime, Millwall''s team was excited and proud, but Aldridge gave them a death order: No one can relax in the second half!


    The team cannot develop a complacent mentality after taking the lead. This mentality is dangerous. Once it becomes a habit, then at a critical time, it will directly turn comedy into tragedy.


    Aldrich¡¯s request may seem impersonal, but this is his coaching requirement, subtly keeping players focused until the last minute of the game.


    If anyone relaxes, he will replace the player without hesitation.


    After Liverpool''s midfield adjustment, the mentally suffered huge blows can not be delayed, but the formation style has changed significantly. Roy Evans strengthened the midfield defense, allowing the side players to compress toward the center, limiting Pirlo and Ned Vader''s play.


    Aldridge was not afraid of the other party''s move.


    He even wanted to go over and tell Evans: Your striker does not return to defense, there are loopholes in how to defend, unless the bus is placed.


    If Fowler and Collymore could not withdraw widely, it would be convenient for Liverpool to strengthen their midfield defense, and Aldridge was not afraid.


    The middle road doesn''t work, there is a side road.


    The two side corridors completely became Millwall''s world after Liverpool''s defensive focus shifted.


    Thuram Zhbrota frequently assisted, and the threat from the bottom line or 45 degrees came immediately.


    Trezeguet and Nedved scored headers in the 63 and 69 minutes respectively.


    Liverpool fans in the stands are all silly.


    Seventy minutes of the game, 6:0!


    Liverpool will undoubtedly be washed by blood, but the problem is only a few.


    Giants Liverpool have also begun to lose malicious fouls.


    McCarter elbowed Nedved, even though Nedved fell down and climbed up, just stood and rubbed his face, but the referee gave McCain the boos of the fans Teal showed a red card.


    Liverpool started kicking people indiscriminately and Aldridge ran out of three substitution places.


    Schneider goes up, Thuram goes down.


    Capdevila went up and Zambro Tower down.


    Vieira went up and Pirlo down.


    All are substitutions.


    Schneider, who played the right back for the first time, was almost a full-back in the last twenty minutes. He had no pressure on the defense and released the offense.


    In a chaotic battle, Schneider passed the ball in front of the goal, Trezeguet jumped high to take the ball, he first hit the ball, and then James was punched in the face.


    The referee awarded a penalty.


    After the ground fell, Trezeguet didn''t get up for a long time. Aldridge saw this scene angrily shouting at the fourth official: "What is he hesitating? Isn''t this **** a red card? On another occasion, this is murder. !"


    Trezeguet didn''t cooperate with Aldridge''s questioning. When the team doctor ran halfway, he sat up and flicked his head, but his expression was a bit dazed.


    The referee didn''t dare to punish Liverpool players anymore, so only a yellow card warned James.


    Trezeguet went to the sidelines to be examined by the team doctor. He just fell a little ignorant. He felt that there was no major problem. The team doctor judged that he had no signs of concussion and agreed to go back to the game.


    Larson took a penalty kick, and with eight minutes left in the game, Millwall had rewritten the score to 7:0.


    Finally, when Liverpool thought that everything would be over, Aldridge waved a big hand, making the central defender rushing up and having fun. Occasionally, he had to develop the ability of the central defender to rush up to assist. After all, sometimes the central defender can kill the frontcourt Play a magical effect and bring a knife to the guard!


    Sure enough, during the stoppage time, Elgra found a good opportunity in the crowd, using his knee to push the ball across the front of the door into the Liverpool gate.


    The Spanish central defender also took off his jersey. The Liverpool fans in the stands were already gone. Millwall fans sang happy songs in a row. During the second half, they did one thing in the stands: Carnival .


    8:0!


    In the first game of Aldridge officially using the main lineup to sacrifice new tactics, the team played a landmark battle.


    The team blossomed with more power.


    Also thanks to the spicy buddies of Liverpool, their status on the field today is almost like sleepwalking.


    The moment the game whistle blew, Aldridge raised his fists in the stands, and Millwall fans collectively made a gesture of worship.


    "I can''t believe it, I can''t believe it, I can''t believe it...I think I must be dreaming, but everything in front of me is real again. Millwall has created a series of FA Cup final records. The total number of eight **** also made history, as well as the largest final difference record. Especially in this final, their opponent is the traditional English giant Liverpool, which makes their history more convincing. Liverpool players are paralyzed in On the ground, I think they should be ashamed of themselves, they are not worthy of the Red Army jersey, they were connected to the scandal they saw in the newspaper today, and they were laughing and joking on the sidelines in suits before the game. What did they have in their minds? The shame record, and, it is likely to be maintained for a long time. Congratulations to Millwall, Hall¡¯s team deserves the victory, this is what they deserve, the double cup king plus the league runner-up, this is their tireless efforts for a season As a result, Aldrich Hall, the young master who rewrote the history of England, we should applaud him and applaud Millwall under his rule!"


    The players flew around the court, hugged together to celebrate, high-five each other, shouting fists...


    Compared to the excitement that fans rushed into the venue two months ago to celebrate, they can restrain their emotions today, even if some people are still in tears and some are kneeling, but they are all in the stands, screaming for Mill. Wall cheered, and his palms were still clapping with pain.


    Aldridge started walking towards the court, and the reporters swarmed around him, following in his footsteps, and numerous microphones piled up in front of him.


    "Mr. Hall, how would you rate Liverpool''s performance?"


    "Don''t compare my team to Liverpool."


    "Are you defying Liverpool? Did Millwall win the title?"


    "No, I think comparing my players with a group of spicy guys who only know how to spend time is disrespectful to my players. We have put in sweat and hard work, we are for the championship, Liverpool in my memory is the blood Division, is a disciplined team, is our opponent today Liverpool? Oh, sorry, Liverpool inherited the spirit, I did not see even a little from the opponent, that¡¯s it, I want to celebrate with my players, there are What about the post-match press conference."


    Aldridge separated the crowd to the players and coaches. The team went up and down in a row and came to each stand to thank the fans in the stands.


    Football Association Chairman Wiseman looked at Millwall players and coaches on the court and smiled heartily.


    Today''s game is really exciting.


    Millwall has performed so well this season, offering too many classic games. These are all English football flyers.


    In the 95-96 season, Millwall became the second single-season double-cup king in English history after Arsenal!


    After winning the FA Cup, Millwall organized a number of party events and also displayed two trophies at home. After a few days of small-scale celebrations, Audridge held a team meeting.


    Some players decided to stay in London because their national team is about to come to England to prepare for the England European Cup, which opens on June 8.


    Nedved found Aldridge and said that the Czech national team wanted to borrow Millwall''s training base and stay in the team''s training hotel.


    Nedved is familiar with this and knows that Millwall¡¯s training base is well-equipped and indoor training can also be conducted in the hotel to avoid outside interference.


    Don¡¯t look at Millwall¡¯s lion¡¯s cave stadium is small and shabby, but Aldridge¡¯s training base is definitely the top of the Premier League, but the area is not particularly large. Although the sparrow is small and full of organs, it can help the team more. Quickly and comprehensively maintain the state of the game.


    Aldrich readily agreed that Millwall had no part in the FA¡¯s plan to arrange the European Cup. As long as the Czech national team greets the FA, the stay in East London should be no problem.


    At the team''s last meeting of the season, Aldridge looked at the casually dressed team players and asked with a smile: "Is this season a happy one?"


    "Yes!"


    "How is the taste of champions?"


    "Cool!"


    "is that enough?"


    "not enough!"


    "Okay, the holiday has begun. See you in two and a half months. When you come back, let''s conquer England!"


    "it is good!"


    Players without national team missions are all excited to go on vacation, and players with national team missions always have a smile on their faces.


    In the past season, what they have achieved here is enough for them to show off in front of their national teammates.


    After greeting each player, Aldridge left the room last.


    Most of the coaches have chosen to go on a short trip, they will come back to watch the European Cup of England next month.


    Aldrich''s recent interview appointments are too many. After the meeting, he also ran to the training ground in an exclusive interview with the BBC. He held a trophy for each side to shoot for the other side.


    In the interview, Aldridge did not talk too much about himself, he put the credit to the players.


    He emphasized that he is just a hard-working head coach, and his players have extremely high professional qualities and talents. It is the efforts of the players to make the team stronger, and the honor is what they deserve.


    As the coach of the year, Aldridge is not complacent, on the contrary, he has a headache.


    Because Andrew told him that many teams have begun to contact Andrew in private, the purpose is to introduce Millwall players.


    The most threatening one is the team from Serie A.


    As for Hypia, after some investigation, Andrew quickly found the corresponding person in the information database, because Hypia had already established a foothold in the Netherlands.


    It is not difficult for Aldridge to introduce Hypia.


    First, pay the transfer fee.


    Second, promise the main position.


    But for these two things, Aldridge couldn''t get it out this summer.


    Club CEO Adam sat in Aldridge''s office and put a financial statement in front of him.


    "What do you mean?"


    "We paid a lot of bonuses because we won the championship, plus the team¡¯s high salary expenditure in the past year. Simply put, boss, even if you don¡¯t spend a penny this summer, we won¡¯t get it when winter comes. The money is paid to the players."


    Adam''s words made Aldridge a headache.


    Millwall, including staff, coaches and players, has the highest total salary expenditure in England.


    In the past year, it has exceeded 20 million pounds, and Millwall¡¯s income is not enough to achieve a breakeven, and even half cannot be compensated.


    This leaves Millwall with more than 6 million pounds left on the books.


    Aldridge thought for a while while touching his head.


    What a good year this year is.


    In 1997, the Premier League will re-sign the broadcast contract, so the broadcast revenue will more than triple, especially if some of them will enter the club account before the season, which will allow Millwall to survive this year.


    In fact, Aldridge also has a book in his heart. He knows that the club operation alone cannot make up for the income and expenditure pressure caused by high wages. Therefore, Solskjaer¡¯s departure is not simply a competitive factor.


    There will be a transfer income of ¡ê7 million in the summer.


    Will this allow Millwall to survive next season?


    Volume III hegemony

 Chapter 159： Gathering of heads

    It is still half a month before the opening of the European Cup in England. Due to financial relations, Aldridge has no plans to transfer to the market this summer. On the basis of zero investment, he still wants to leave the existing staff of the club.


    Benitez finally returned to Spain, but he just went back and packed some salutes.


    A week ago, he was looking for a job in London, goal: Millwall Club.


    Probably Benitez realized that being a good head coach is not just about tactical knowledge on paper, so he wants to stay in Millwall to learn the experience of managing the team. At the same time, he thinks he can also make Millwall better. One floor.


    After all, he is a coach who has been with the Real Madrid B team for many years, and his experience with young players is indeed what Millwall needs.


    Aldridge accepted his cover letter. In the new season, Benitez will join the Millwall first team coach team and also serve as an assistant coach.


    On May 20, the sun was shining.


    Aldridge has recently become an otaku. Every day at home, in addition to sleeping is fitness, or watching movies and reading books, for the past two years, he has been buried in work, moving around during the transfer period, working day and night during the season He also needs a period of rest, so during this period he spent a very leisurely time, allowing himself to recover from fatigue, not only physically but also mentally.


    Dingdong.


    The doorbell rang.


    Audrey, who was wearing big pants and a white shirt at home, had a bowl of ice cream in his hand, sat on the sofa and watched a movie, heard the bell ringing and lowered the bowl, and got up and opened the door without caring about his image.


    When the door opened, a scent of fragrance came across.


    "Aldrich, happy birthday!"


    Boo, boo...


    "Ah! What is your mouth?"


    Melanie in a sleeveless snow-white dress entered the door and threw herself around Aldridge''s neck, kissing passionately.


    Aldridge touched the ice cream from her mouth and asked her unexpectedly with her arms around her waist: "Are you resting too?"


    Melanie whirled in his arms with a happy look, saying, "Yes, come with you, close your eyes."


    Aldridge retreated slightly, with a weird look on his face: "Don''t play this kid''s game, you have kissed me."


    Melanie glared threateningly: "Close your eyes or I will take a picture of what you are!"


    Aldridge closed his eyes helplessly, and then felt Melanie around him, leaning his body against his back, covering his eyes tightly with his hands, and then whispered in his ear: "Slow Go forward slowly."


    Aldrich didn¡¯t know what trick she was playing, so she walked obediently out of the house, the sun was shining warmly on him, he sighed: "There will be steps in front of me, and if I go forward, I will fall , Then I would rather you take a picture of my sloppy look now."


    Melanie finally let go and shouted in his ear: "Happy birthday!"


    Aldridge opened his eyes, and a picture of the sweet car beauty came into view.


    On the road outside the simple fence outside the lawn, there is a sports car with a streamlined silver metal visual stimulus. Victoria''s black dress rotates the car key on the finger, and the corner of the mouth outlines a playful smile.


    Aldrich knows that it is his birthday today, but at his psychological age, his birthday is irrelevant, and there is no need to celebrate it all.


    Melanie was able to appear in front of him and say a happy birthday, he was very moved.


    Now the scene in front of him surprised him a little, saying: "Is Victoria''s new car? Great."


    He hasn''t done much research on cars and never thought of buying luxury cars, because most of London''s traffic lines are relatively narrow, like the luxury cars of that type, which are troublesome to get on the road.


    Melanie hugged his neck behind him and laughed: "It''s not hers, I gave it to you, do you like it?"


    Aldrich just looked at the shape of the sports car and knew that the cost was great. He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It''s too expensive."


    "Hello, you said it yourself, I will give you a Ferrari in the future, and you will definitely accept it with a smile."


    Melanie mumbled dissatisfiedly in his ear.


    Aldridge recalled it carefully, as if it had happened, but it was just a joke.


    Victoria threw the car key in her hand to Aldridge, smiled at them, and turned away. Outside the community, she got into her new car, a new white BMW.


    Really making money.


    The Spice Girls group made a sensation when they debuted last year. After launching their first album, they dominated the British Golden Chart for more than a month. Their record sales were even more amazing. Their popularity rate should be unprecedented before the group orchestra. The movie that is built, said that it is a movie, is actually more like a promo, and will be released simultaneously with the second album.


    "It''s not easy for you to make money, there is no need to waste money like this."


    Aldrich turned his head to look at Melanie, his words were bitterly nagging.


    Melanie listened impatiently and pushed him from behind to the sports car, saying, "All you have to do now is try to feel and take me for a ride!"


    "Shall I change my clothes?"


    "No, shirts and shorts, pretty fashionable."


    Aldridge carefully looked at the signs of the car and said, "No, this is not Ferrari, this is Lamborghini."


    Melanie smiled and said, "I have never seen someone as weird as you. Give you a birthday gift. You are too expensive first, and now you are picky again."


    Sitting in the driver''s seat of this 95-year-old Lamborghini Diablo, Aldridge hesitated for a long time and said, "I''ll change clothes, I feel it''s a farmer flying a plane now."


    Melanie laughed, urging him to drive quickly.


    On his 20th birthday, Aldridge received a lot of gifts. The ice cream he had eaten at home was made by Yi Wen himself. Other friends also sent some. For example, Fred gave him a record and Brady gave him. A postcard of his travels in Northern Europe, friends or colleagues will give him some small gifts.


    But he rejected the proposal to have a party at home. He did not like to deliberately find a reason to party.


    Driving a new car in the suburbs, he and Melanie ran to the surrounding countryside to eat some authentic flavors during the day and enjoy the beauty of the countryside. Before returning to London at night, the two sneaked into a small forest and picked her up. In the white dress, you can block her mouth with your mouth, or cover it with your hand, otherwise the ecstasy sound from her singing voice will definitely drift far away...


    After a few days of the duo-like world, Aldridge suddenly received an invitation call at home.


    "Aldrich, are you free to watch the European Cup together?"


    "Are you coming to the UK?"


    "No, let''s go to France together. An old friend invites my colleagues to gather together."


    "Arsena, don''t you need to work in Japan?"


    "The first half of the league will end soon, and I will be able to return to France for a holiday at the end of the month. In addition, I want to talk to you in person."


    "Okay, I have time. It''s not bad to go on holiday in France. Recently, I was annoyed by reporters."


    Aldridge hung up the phone from Wenger, and then told Melanie the next plan, she naturally agreed, and went to France together.


    At this time, there are only 14 teams in the Japanese J-League, and the wonderful single-cycle schedule is divided into the second half of the season, and Wenger has no accident in the summer.


    The European Cup in England has attracted much attention, and the local media are talking about this European football feast every day. As a person in the circle, Aldridge cannot escape the trouble of being harassed. The TV station wants him to be a guest commentator or participate in some post-match games. Commenting on the show, the FA also sent an invitation, hoping that he would be able to attend the opening ceremony, and even reporters from other countries came to the door of his house, hoping to interview him and talk about some of Millwall¡¯s international team. Play in the game.


    This summer, he just wants to spend time calmly, so escape from London is the best option.


    At the end of May, Aldridge and Melanie flew to Paris, the two dressed in casual clothes and sunglasses to walk around the Champs Elys¨¦es, went to the beach to enjoy the sun and waves, not only avoiding the paparazzi, but also making the two feel happy Pleasant.


    On June 8, the European Cup of England opened.


    Aldrich in suit and leather and Melanie in a white dress with naked shoulders came to a villa on the outskirts of Auxerre.


    The guests in the spacious hall were full of clouds. Melanie inadvertently glanced at the female guest present, and her eyes widened suddenly. She dragged Aldridge''s arm and gestured excitedly with her eyes, saying: "Look, that is Marien Farmer and Kathy!"


    Aldridge glanced at the beautiful and elegant women who chatted together and shrugged helplessly: "Sorry, I don''t know them."


    Melanie left Aldridge and ran to talk, although she had become famous, but she still has a heart to chase stars.


    Soon, Aldridge saw an acquaintance, and Wenger, who was elegant, came from a distance and led him to another hall.


    "Aldrich, next season, I will coach Arsenal."


    As the two walked, Wenger broke the news for Aldridge ahead of time.


    Aldridge pretended to be surprised, then smiled: "Then we are Derby opponents."


    "Oh, I have long wanted to compete with you. I will introduce you to a few friends first."


    When I came to the side hall, the atmosphere changed abruptly. In the hall, Yingyingyanyan was like a celebrity social banquet, but in this side hall, there was an atmosphere of scholars meeting.


    The men who stand or sit in suits are the youngest of Aldridge. The older ones are also 50 or 60 years old. Wenger first introduced him to a typical peasant-looking old man with five short stature and bloated face. , Looks like a strange grandpa.


    However, this person''s reputation is not small, but also a legend in the coaching world.


    Guy Rue, coaching the small team Auxerre for more than thirty years, led Auxerre to steadily fight from the lower leagues to the Ligue 1, and has never had a history of relegation. This record can''t match many Ligue 1 strongs.


    He is the respected and respected coach of the French people and Wenger''s best friend.


    Girard Hollier, who stepped down as coach of the French national team last year.


    Work hard to learn the knowledge of coaches, the famous iron-fisted coach Harry Hotzic.


    After dismissing Wenger''s Monaco after a turbulent season, the new stabilization of the new season last season is already well-known Jean Tigana.


    Last season, he led Paris Saint-Germain to win the European Cup Winners Cup and created a brilliant Luis Fernandez.


    In addition, there are some coaches who teach in Ligue 1, although the reputation is not high, but the influence of Ligue in this era is only below Serie A, so the coaches in this hall must have a skill.


    What surprised Audridge was that he also saw David Arn, vice chairman of Arsenal.


    Reminiscing Wenger just broke the news, Aldridge immediately relieved.


    After introducing each other to the heads of teachers with different qualifications, everyone''s eyes were focused on Aldridge.


    Because he is young.


    People who didn''t know him thought at the beginning that Wenger brought a player here.


    However, there will be a brief introduction to the football coach who is concerned about the football in England, and then everyone''s eyes have become surprised and admired again.


    Millwall''s achievements last season were enough to make Audridge look at them impressed.

 Chapter 160： One newspaper one newspaper

    Whether he is a coach or a club owner, Aldridge likes to make friends, not only to expand the communication and contacts of the football circle, but also to expand the cooperation space for the development of the club.


    What would a group of heads gather to talk about? Of course it is football.


    Aldrich was not the kind of person whose old predecessor told him that one plus one equals two and would nod to the truth.


    He will refute to tell seniors that discussing one plus one from a chemical or physical point of view may not really equal two!


    It is also his mentality that he does not listen to teachings on his own, so that he can communicate with his peers without difficulty.


    Wenger told everyone in public that he met Aldridge.


    When Monaco coached him, his away record was terrible. When he first met Wenger, Aldridge, a teenager, said bluntly: Your players are not enough to play the same efficient football at home and away under the same tactics. .


    At home, fans shouted to the home team, putting pressure on the visiting team.


    The area of ??the court, the turf of the court, and the friction of rolling the ball directly affect the player''s sense of play. The visiting team obviously has no advantage over the home team.


    The home team has advantages such as waiting for work.


    vice versa.


    Wenger is full of romanticism, so regardless of home and away, the focus is on highlighting his tactical style, so when players can''t overcome the disadvantages of visiting when playing on the road, they will naturally play poorly.


    After Wenger personally told this paragraph of acquaintance, everyone would smile.


    Wenger smiled at Aldridge: "He is a Skywalker, and he always has a lot of ideas, and his achievements in the past two years have proved the feasibility of his theory in practice."


    Aldridge didn''t like being touted and felt like his face was burning, and he waved his hand to make Wenger don''t hug himself again.


    But then, as everyone watched the European Cup opener, while chatting, Aldridge and many coaches present had a lip battle.


    ...


    Harry Hotzic: Why do you love young players?


    Aldrich: Because of my age and the background that I haven¡¯t played in before is a fatal weakness. Imagine, I will tell a 26-year-old striker how to run, if he has a good temper, he will smile, if he has a bad temper, he will say in his mouth, or he will scold in his heart: you did not What''s wrong? What do you know? Get away.


    ...


    "Whether it is a full-back or a winger, they should retreat to participate in the defense. They are not required to achieve the ability of defensive players, but they must at least use reasonable positions and defensive postures to compress the space of the attacking side and cut the opponent''s attacking formation. , Blocking the passer¡¯s pass."


    ...


    "Louis, yes, you are right. If you have two full-backs with super assists, you may directly oppose your opponents and don''t dare to invest too much force in your offense, so your offensive players may not be as defensive as However, you need at least a very defensive conscious midfielder to protect the space, just like Dunga did in the Brazilian team. Such a player needs both defensive skills and defensive awareness and experience. ."


    ...


    "Mr. Guy Lu, I disagree with you. I am not refuting that talented star players rely on their personal ability to create threats. It is a team change. However, we now often see players with excellent skills at their feet. Dribbling the ball, passing the ball to the defensive players in front of them, which directly leads to a problem: that is to give the opponent time to set up the defensive formation. I advocate fast and concise, players can directly accelerate the start of the breakthrough It¡¯s reasonable to do this if the defender is dropped, but if a player holds the ball and plays in-situ then two-foot technique, two-pedal cycling, no dribbling forward for passing, two turns in place and so on , The visual sense is wonderful, very elegant, the audience will also give applause, but how long will it take? 2 seconds? 5 seconds? What is the entire process of the player''s attack from the second half to the front court? 10 seconds In other words, maybe a player gave the opponent enough time to set up a defensive formation for the sake of passing, while also marking your offensive player, causing your overall offensive threat to plummet."


    ...


    "Oh, it''s not reliable. If it''s a double midfield formation, both midfielders are very offensive players. The two of them stepped forward together and they really threatened to be bigger than one, but once the ball was hit and counterattacked, the middle is With the portal wide open, the back line will be crumbling."


    ...


    Aldrich was arguing with these coaches in a red-eared manner, and even had the posture of taking turns in battle, but the onlookers looked at it with interest.


    Especially David Arn, the vice chairman of Arsenal. He seemed to have seen the scene when he met Wenger at the beginning of the year.


    Almost eight or nine years ago, Wenger first met David Dyne at a social gathering. During that dinner, Wenger personally performed "The Midsummer Night''s Dream" personally, which became David Dane. The deepest memory has also moved him since then to ask Arsene Wenger to coach Arsenal. He feels that this romantic Frenchman is in line with Arsenal.


    Everyone said they were tired and the ball was over. England scored 1:1 by Switzerland at the door.


    Drink and talk about anecdotes and anecdotes in the football world, and some complain about the players. They complain about the Bosman Act implemented by UEFA, especially the small clubs such as Guy Lu who rely on selling players to earn transfer fees. The head coach is even more angry and rushing to the crown.


    It''s hard to say whether the Bosman Act is right or wrong. This is a subject left for the researchers of football history to study, but the most intuitive is that after the Bosman Act, not only the Dutch and Ligue 1 rely on training players to survive Most of the teams are struggling. The middle and lower reaches of the European major leagues have bankrupted hundreds of them in the next ten years. Later, a Russian rich man entered Chelsea¡¯s investment, but directly or indirectly saved many clubs from leaving. On the road to bankruptcy.


    Aldridge was back in the hotel with Melanie holding her arms in a hurry, and for a few days, in addition to watching the game with a group of coaches, he expressed his opinions, that is, playing with Melanie in the mountains in France. Back to the hotel and covered with rain and clouds, life is easy, I am almost reluctant.


    In mid-June, Aldridge first sent Melanie back to work, but he stayed in France.


    But when the semifinals were over, Aldridge decided to return home early.


    Because, Millwall''s captain, Southgate, has become a new sinner in England.


    He must return to London to protect his players.


    In fact, he thought that history would shift, but when he saw Southgate kicked a penalty into the goalkeeper''s arms in front of the TV, his face became very worried.


    "Sorry, everyone, I''m going back to London."


    After saying hello to the head teachers, Aldridge went out.


    But Wenger and Dane followed him.


    With Dane as a driver, Wenger and Aldridge were sitting in the back seat of the car. The car drove a little slower, making Aldrich realize that the two of them were "immoral."


    "It was originally intended to talk to you about this after the European Cup, but now you have to go back, then I will say it now. Aldrich, I will go to London to take office after I have negotiated the matter on the other side of Japan. But I want two Millwall players."


    Wenger''s words made Aldrich turn his head to stare at him, and asked, "Why didn''t you say it early? To know who you are digging at me, I''m definitely not coming."


    "That''s why I said it now. Think about how you told me two years ago?"


    Aldridge laughed, quite self-deprecating.


    The cycle of heaven and earth is unhappy.


    Two years ago, he asked Wenger to sell Thuram to him. Today, Wenger has to dig people back, and with interest, he will dig two as soon as he digs.


    However, this is in line with Wenger''s style. He hasn''t officially taken office at Arsenal before joining the club transfer operation, which is exactly the same as before he moved to Monaco.


    "Who?"


    "Vieira and Pires."


    "One is my main force, and the other is my main substitute, Alsena, is it a bit ruthless?"


    Aldridge smiled angrily.


    Dane, who was driving, was watching the expression of the two in the rearview mirror, and he was a little nervous.


    He hired Wenger, and naturally wanted to bring him the players he wanted, but the rest of Arsenal came forward, and it is estimated that they would be in trouble.


    Millwall is also a London team anyway, and it is a team that stands up and proclaims itself the king of London. How can it sell the main force to Arsenal!


    Wenger also knew that it would probably be yellow to let Dane appear, so he came to be a lobbyist himself.


    "How many years will Vieira play in Millwall before you give him the main force? The Italian guy you supported at the end of last season should be your main midfielder in the future? As for Pires, indeed, I let you Selling him to me is difficult for some strongmen, but Millwall does not lack replacements?"


    Aldridge turned his head to stare at Wenger, without answering the question: "Have you already contacted my players in private?"


    Dane, who was driving, immediately clarified: "No! Really not! We won''t do such a nasty thing!"


    Aldridge rolled his eyes and said lightly: "I have always respected my players, I will try to keep them and persuade them to stay, but I will tell them through the agent the conditions Arsenal made, if they want to go, then You can give me a satisfactory offer."


    "Ten million pounds, pack two people."


    Wenger smiled.


    Aldrich shook his head: "It''s impossible. They have a four-year contract with Millwall. One is 23 years old and the other is 20 years old. What you want to buy is the spine of the arsenal for ten years, ¡ê10 million? Alsena, not my alarmist The rules of the money game in the transfer market have changed. If you don¡¯t believe us, we will wait. Just this summer, you will see what the top stars are worth, and this is just the beginning."


    Since the end of the league in May, rumors in the transfer market have skyrocketed.


    In the Premier League, Manchester United will win the Champions League next season because of winning the championship. Naturally, their income will be higher than last year, which also makes them rich.


    Ferguson finalized that Solskjaer was still not satisfied, and in mid-May a secret offer of 10 million pounds was presented to Aldrich: Buy Larson.


    Fortunately, Larson was not interested in the transfer and directly refused.


    But Manchester United are still tirelessly seeking super forwards. After all, Cantona will be 31 years old next season.


    The outside world is rumored to be close to Manchester United''s Brazilian genius Ronaldo. Manchester United and Barcelona are simultaneously asking for 20 million dollars to buy a Brazilian shooter from the Dutch Eindhoven.


    This is not far from the fact that AC Milan set a record for the world football transfer and bought Lentini''s 13 million pounds.


    Ronaldo had two amazing seasons in Eindhoven. He scored more than 30 goals in the first season. He scored more than 30 goals in the second season. He spent most of the time in the second season. He was in conflict with the club¡¯s head coach. Last season''s performance was not worth mentioning, so in fact such a transfer value is not his peak value, and the sensation of making it is self-evident.


    After the failure to buy Ronaldo, Manchester United turned its goal to Alan Shearer, the top performance of the Premier League for several consecutive years. Looking at the current process, Manchester United only announced Shearer to join after the European Cup ended, and the two sides only signed the contract.


    In a few days, this transfer will have a turning point. Kevin Keegan''s intervention makes Ferguson pass the English talent player again. The last time was Gascoigne, this time it will be Alan Shearer. And Hiller¡¯s transfer value will set a new world football transfer record: 15 million pounds!


    In this context, even though Pire and Vieira¡¯s popularity and public evaluation can¡¯t catch up with Hiller, but if Wenger thinks Wenger thinks that the sum of the two is only worth 10 million pounds, then Audridge will not Remembering old feelings and choosing to let people go, even if you fall with the players.


    Wenger dared to ask these two people, he must have the confidence to convince them to join Arsenal. After all, they are both French, and Wenger has not been a coach in France for a long time. Pire and Vieira have already heard Wenger. Daming, coupled with Arsenal¡¯s wealthy background, Millwall is still a small temple that can¡¯t hold the great gods.


    Either way, Aldridge made a deal with Wenger with a different position.


    He bought Thuram for the real money in his pocket.


    Wenger wanted to buy Aldridge players and spent money from the Arsenal club.

 Chapter 161： Group mocking opens, attracts hatred

    Aldridge, who returned to London, took the initiative to go to Southgate''s home the next day.


    Outside of Southgate''s apartment, the paparazzi were in droves, and irrational London fans also stared at his mansion, even someone holding an insulting sign.


    England, who missed the 1994 World Cup, missed the opportunity to advance to the 96 European Cup finals at their door. Of course they felt it was a shame, and Southgate, who played in the sixth round of the penalty shootout, became a sinner.


    Aldridge still drove his old BMW. He parked the car at the door of Southgate. After pushing the door off, the surrounding reporters swarmed up, taking pictures and asking questions.


    "Mr. Hall, what do you think of Southgate''s missed penalty?"


    "Will Millwall sell Southgate under pressure?"


    It has to be said that some players who have become "public enemies" can choose to leave the country without being able to withstand the pressure. Ginola is one, and the future Beckham has also had such thoughts.


    Aldridge took time to gather his emotions and faced the reporters around him. After they finished taking pictures, he said lightly: "Are you all idiots? There are also irrational fans. It is normal to kick a penalty. Things, I am sad for the English football, the national team is obviously ill, when can you calmly and rationally face the failure? Find the cause of the failure, sum up the lesson. But I don¡¯t know when the English national team will be in front of the failure. Looking for excuses, the responsibility of the head coach, the responsibility of the players, the responsibility of the venue, the responsibility of the weather, the ghost knows whether the **** breakfast is responsible! Now, England has put the responsibility on Gareth from top to bottom, I only I would like to say that you are all bad pens. Is the England national team stronger without him? Can you win the championship? If this is your goal, we will wait and see how many people will dare to play for England in the future. , Idiots, wake up!"


    After Aldridge finished speaking, he pushed away the person in front of him and went straight to Southgate''s house.


    To be honest, he deliberately turned on the "group mocking" skill, the purpose is simple: to attract hatred.


    Aldridge knocked on the door, and it was Southgate''s wife who opened her eyes. She dared not look at the wolf-like reporters and fans outside. She only opened the door slightly and let Aldridge go in and closed the door.


    Southgate''s mental state is not very good. The blow of penalty kicks, the condemnation of public opinion, and the threat of siege to his home have made him suffer and suffer.


    Aldridge spent a day at his house, unraveling Southgate, and even cooking in person like a friend to accompany their family here.


    In the middle of the night, Andrew sent an assistant to arrange for the Southgate family to take a flight to the Mediterranean vacation, allowing them to temporarily leave the UK and avoid becoming the focus of the public.


    The next day, Aldridge became the target, because he began to open fire with the British media and critics in the football circle.


    His spear pointed directly at the English coach Venables, and directly criticized the opponent''s criticism.


    And for the semi-final of Germany vs England, Aldridge published a technical and tactical comment in the "Daily Mail", the title is: England self-destructing the Great Wall!


    England is good at 442. It cannot be said that the tactical play is outdated or out of trend, because at the national team level, it is also very different from the club. The club can train through one season, two seasons, or even longer. Hone a set of mature tactics.


    However, the national team did not have the time and conditions, and the understanding between the players was the biggest problem. Therefore, the strength of the Spanish national team that later achieved great achievements is that they can transplant the club''s mature tactical system.


    "What kind of tactics is England playing? In the starting lineup, except for goalkeeper Seaman, the remaining ten are Pierce, Southgate, Adams, Ince, Pratt, McManaman, Anderton, Gasco Because, Shearer, Sheringham. How many of these ten are Indian defenders? Three, Adams, Southgate, Pierce. Many people say that England¡¯s tactics have changed a lot, but in reality, this game is just Played a 352, or 343 that more than half of the players were not familiar with. Three guards, double midfielders, bilateral midfielders, plus midfielders plus double forwards. What Venables is thinking, I don¡¯t know, but from the most basic In the formation, we can see the player''s imperfection. During the offense, Gascoigne worked very hard, but he was mediocre in the front waist position because he was successfully restricted by Germany. In addition to the opening three minutes, England rely on corner kicks to break the goal In addition, the opportunities created in sports are nothing more than long shots inserted into the back of the foot and the half-single opportunity missed by McManaman. However, the German team has seized the weakness of the English defense''s unsophisticated defense and repeatedly exploded England. The wing defense, the equalizer scored the goal on the left in front of the penalty area. The German full-back inserted to attract the attention of England''s defense, and then the defense became larger. Between the electric light and flint, a delicate direct pass penetrated the defense. , The German crosses the other side unexpectedly, the younger Kunz broke the door to save Germany. What do we see in the picture of the goal? The number of English retreats is almost twice that of the German offensive players! But why did he still lose the ball? You can¡¯t blame Gascoigne for running back to the penalty area for defense, but there are only three real defensive iron gates on the back line. That¡¯s the problem. I believe that if it¡¯s the traditional four-back system, the attacking players are back. On the basis, England''s side defense will not expose so many problems. If it is not for the German team to miss a few opportunities, they are fully capable of solving the battle within 90 minutes, and many of their opportunities come from penetrating the right side of England. Road defense. Is penalty the reason for the defeat? Yes, but does England pin its hopes on the fact that each player is a penalty shooter? If so, then we don¡¯t have to talk about how England football will develop in the future, as long as 11 per game All the players shrunk in the penalty area and waited for a penalty kick to win the championship trophy."


    Aldrich''s comments caused an uproar immediately.


    Even though Venables is taking responsibility for England¡¯s halt in the semifinals, Glenn Hoddle leaves Chelsea and is about to take over as the national team, but the outside world still thinks that Venables led England to play beautiful football. Group 4: 1 victory over the Netherlands is a classic game.


    In the next few days, Aldridge''s appearance rate was extremely high. Various media interviewed him or appeared in the ball review program. He had a tit-for-tat controversy with famous places or experts.


    Even the 4:1 win over the Netherlands was considered unworthy by him, because the Dutch''s full attack and defense made their back line exposed to weaknesses, and in the trend of contemporary international competitions, defensive victory is the mainstream.


    Many neutral and objective ball critics also expressed their solidarity with Aldridge. In the video of the repeated replay of the England-German war, the organization clearly analyzed the fragility of the English tactical system, especially the defense.


    Some reporters also clearly pointed out that the reason why Aldridge suddenly became a big mouth is only one purpose: to protect Southgate, to offend him, or to let him disappear from the public eye, all for the sake of Southgate from Cheer up again in the blow.


    In the end, the European Cup came to an end at the end of June. Germany defeated the dark horse Czech Republic and took the European Cup in England as a feud. This made the English people very angry.


    Perhaps England has been repaying the outstanding case of defeating Germany in the 66-year-old World Cup and holding the Remitt Cup. In the following three decades, the two teams encountered in the international competition, the German team will leave England with a bitter memory, and England is undefeated. The record has also continued for more than two decades!


    The dust of the European Cup was settled, and the Olympic Games followed.


    The players in the Millwall team have participated in the European Cup, and some have been recruited by the youth echelons of various countries to play the Olympic Games, such as Piret and Vieira.


    Aldridge''s vacation was over, earlier than he had imagined, and he did a lot of unplanned things after returning to London. At least it was not his intention to fight the war of words in the war between England and Germany.


    The French team was eliminated by the Czech Republic in the semi-finals. After the game, Thuram did not return to the country, but stayed in London, directly found Aldridge, and applied for a transfer.


    Thuram made his debut in Ligue 1 and became a star in Ligue 1. He originally planned to go for gold in Millwall. He didn''t expect to make a great name in England and spent a pleasant two years here. , He thought it was time to leave.


    If the Serie A in the 1990s is the purgatory of top shooters, then for the defensive players, here is a blessing.


    Thuram yearns for Italy, and almost like most of the guards of his time, he wants to go to Italy and become a world-class defender.


    And just this summer, an Italian team officially launched an invitation to him: Parma.


    Millwall Club has a lot of transfer intent faxes every day, some are quoted, some are inquiries, and some want to rent their young players.


    Aldridge browses at least twenty club quotes from different countries every day, and most of them are insulting quotes in his eyes.


    Two or three million pounds wanting to take away his players is a fool''s dream, not even a giant.


    There are also players who do not want to transfer. For example, if the team offers Nedved for ¡ê12 million, Trezeguet for ¡ê7 million, etc.


    But most players do not want to go, some are loyal, some are not satisfied with the next house, if they want to go, they will definitely go to a club that is more competitive than Millwall.


    Palma embarked on a glorious rise in the early 1990s. In the past three years, it has been a championship team in Serie A. The European Cup has won the Winners Cup and the UEFA Cup, plus milk king Stefano. Tanzi''s vigorous investment in the club has made Palma an emerging force in Serie A.


    Palma is not a giant, nor has it won the Serie A championship, but in this era, the gold content of the Serie A is too high, the reputation of the small World Cup is by no means worthy of fame. The Premier League, Ligue 1, Bundesliga and La Liga champions are even more powerful.


    Because of this, when Parma¡¯s ¡ê5 million offer came to Millwall, Aldridge directly refused without thinking, and in order to let the other party back out, he added one in the reply: 10 million gabu Feng!


    Buffon was only 16 years old, but it was an absolute gem. Palma wouldn''t trade Buffon for trading.


    To the surprise of Aldridge, Thuram took the initiative to find him and filed a transfer application.


    Palma must have contacted Thuram privately, no doubt!


    This kind of thing is unspoken. Aldridge has nothing to complain about. 99% of the transfers are behind the FIFA transfer regulations. There is no need to complain about Aldridge, it will only let you be football. In isolation, only those clubs that have been dug up for bankruptcy will be sued helplessly.

 Chapter 162： People can walk, leave dignity

    Aldridge was a little puzzled. In the future, people will look at the transfer of players. It seems that many stars will avoid the club during the transfer and let the agent go around.


    But his players seem to take the initiative to come to him and raise this point.


    Probably Aldrich''s youth factor is playing a role, but also because he usually communicates with players in a gentle manner.


    Thuram did not make much noise, on the contrary, he said many reasons.


    There are many reasons that Aldridge cannot refute.


    It was enough for him to go to Italy to make a trip, and Aldridge closed his mouth.


    What''s more, from the player''s point of view, there is nothing wrong with people going high. The Premier League is not as good as Serie A. Aldrich can''t change the fact that no matter how he blows, it is simply deceiving himself.


    As for Aldrich¡¯s telling Thura Palma¡¯s glory is only short-lived, or will it fall into a crisis of bankruptcy in a few years, what''s the use? It will only make him look like a villain.


    "Lilian, you have ambitions, which I understand. This proves that you are enterprising and able to work with you for two years. It is my honor."


    In the face of Thuram, Aldridge''s response came from his heart, without pretentiousness.


    Thuram nodded calmly: "I have also benefited a lot from my experience in England over the past two years."


    Working hard in different leagues is good for accumulating experience, and Thuram¡¯s words are sincere.


    However, he believes that the Premier League lacks challenges.


    Here, he would not think that freezing Ginola or Giggs would make him proud.


    He is even more eager for Italy. In addition to his own improvement, his opponents are also very different. They are facing Batty today, facing Signori tomorrow, facing Baggio, and so on.


    The new coach of Parma is Ancelotti. He called Aldridge. He hoped that Millwall would not set up an obstacle in the transfer of Thuram. Some time ago, Aldrich asked Buffon¡¯s reply to let the two The club''s communication was temporarily deadlocked.


    Aldrich said seriously: "Lilian, you want to go, I won''t stop you, but, I hope you can leave dignity for Millwall."


    Thuram didn''t understand it and frowned and asked, "Boss, I don''t understand what you mean."


    Aldrich spread his hands and said: "Two years ago, I bought you and spent 3 million pounds. Now, Parma wants to take you away with 5 million pounds. Do you think this is fair to Millwall? I think you Is a top guard, then you should have the value of a top guard to leave, don¡¯t let Parma despise Millwall, or let you join Parma to become insignificant. Last year, Barton moved to Newcastle United for 4 million pounds. , What about you? Do you think he is stronger than you? You are the main hero of Millwall¡¯s two crowns and one Asian champion, and the main force of the French national team. Are you worth 5 million pounds? I can¡¯t accept this. It¡¯s not about money, but about dignity. I can¡¯t let the outside world see Millwall doing this transaction, let alone your departure as a reason for other players to follow in the future. Palma wants you and really regards you as an important member. , Let them show sincerity, this is also respect for you!"


    Thuram nodded and agreed with Aldridge after a moment of silence.


    Although they can''t keep Thuram, at least in the transfer operation, the two reached an agreement.


    In the following days, Millwall and Palma started to rip off after Thuram''s transfer.


    Parma wanted to use players to cash in. They originally proposed to use Inzaghi to join the deal, but Inzaghi who had gone to the Atlanta Olympics did not want to leave Italy. The younger Buffon was already the goalkeeper of the Italian Olympic men¡¯s football team. How can Palma let go of the players that Ni appreciates? Cannavaro is no different.


    In the end, Palma put forward the conditions for adding Zola to the transaction.


    In all fairness, the striker, nicknamed the Bantam Tiger, is not bad, and has been at the forefront of the Serie A striker list for the past few years. If it is ¡ê5 million plus Zorra, then the total value of the transaction will be around ¡ê10 million.


    However, Aldridge did not want Zola, the other party was already 30 years old, not only to give him the main position, but also to give him high wages, if Aldridge agreed to the deal, he might lose money.


    Thuram did not actively cooperate with Palma¡¯s invitation, which made Palma eventually have to add cash to complete the transaction. In mid-July, the two parties reached an agreement.


    At the beginning of July, Millwall officially announced that Solskjaer joined Manchester United for 7 million pounds, and a week later, Millwall announced that the team''s absolute main right-back Thuram joined Italy for 7.5 million pounds. Of Parma.


    The new season of the Premier League will kick off on August 16th, but Aldridge has a headache to find that his team has become fragmented.


    The Olympic men¡¯s football game will not end until the beginning of August, and teams like France, who have fallen to the quarterfinals, have only given players time to rest at the end of July.


    Makelele, Pire, Vieira and Trezeguet were all selected for this Olympic team.


    Other players such as Elgra, Capdevila, Pirlo and others also went to the Olympics for a lap.


    This made Aldridge''s pre-season preparations encounter great difficulties.


    What made him even more angry was that Pires and Vieira submitted transfer applications directly to the club on August 1st!


    Arsenal''s offer has been on Aldridge''s desk for a long time.


    A ¡ê12 million package for the two, Aldridge did not agree.


    He was waiting for the reaction of the two players. He also called the two players before. He tried to retain Pires and Vieira, but the results were not high. The two players had an ambiguous attitude. Obviously, he did not intend to tell the truth.


    In fact, Aldridge was already prepared.


    Pires is different from other players such as Solskjaer, Trezeguet, Schneider, Nedved, etc.


    He came to Millwall with pride. His teacher was famous. He came from the famous Clefontaine youth training camp in France. He was a talented young man with a strong root, so he had a kind of arrogance in his heart. If it were not Millwall At the time, he was introduced to pay the expensive transfer fee and high salary. He may not have come to Millwall yet. In this way, he never regarded Millwall as his home.


    Especially this summer, the value of players'' transfers has skyrocketed, and the top salary of the Premier League has also been directly raised to a level that makes the club owners angry.


    Kevin Keegan cut the ball halfway and took Hiller away from Ferguson and took him to St James Park Stadium. In addition to the ¡ê15 million world transfer record, he also gave Hiller the English club an unprecedented new record. Weekly salary: 34,000 pounds.


    This made other clubs unprepared and Aldridge even wanted to rush to burst Keegan.


    Will Millwall be affected?


    of course!


    Shearer earns 34,000 pounds a week. How much should Larson, who is close to his performance, make? What about Nedved? What about Makelele? and many more.


    This directly led other teams to start thinking about raising wages for important players.


    Aldridge¡¯s big payrolls that dominated England two years ago have become unattractive since this summer.


    Ferguson sent Aldridge a text message after Hiller''s transfer: Still you have a foresight.


    Last year, Ferguson mocked Aldridge''s running of the club as a joke, but this year''s look again made him admire his five bodies.


    Last summer, Aldridge renewed the players¡¯ contract with the reason of salary increase, which made the players¡¯ contract status in absolute safety after the implementation of the Bosman Act. Therefore, Millwall can be a lion in the transfer operation. Big opening.


    Because the contract is still very long, Pire and Vieira have to break the boat when they want to transfer.


    But they were wrong, absolutely wrong, as long as they could come to Aldridge and stand up and say: Boss, I want to go to Arsenal.


    Aldridge will only keep it symbolically for a while before letting go.


    He doesn¡¯t want to have Qin Muchu on his team. Pride¡¯s pride is beyond Audridge¡¯s blame. Vieira has no main position and wants to leave. Audridge is also difficult to keep, let alone Arsenal. In the context of London, Millwall and Arsenal are not comparable.


    Compared with Stam''s "Knowledge of Enlightenment", the two men directly tore their faces and submitted a transfer application to the club, which is essentially different from Thuram''s face-to-face transfer intention with Audric.


    Submitting the transfer application is equivalent to issuing an ultimatum.


    Although it is impossible to say absolutely that the transfer will be completed, the player''s behavior is self-defeating. Once the transfer is unsuccessful, the player will be rejected on the team, and the fans will no longer support him.


    Like the transfer farce of another super shooter this summer, Ronaldo publicly announced in June that he wanted to wear a Barcelona jersey, which made Chairman Eindhoven embarrassed at both ends, he did not want to let Ronaldo go, even in front of him It is a quotation of 20 million US dollars, but the fans are already clamoring to let the Brazilians get out of it. What''s more dramatic is that Barcelona President Nunes does not force the introduction of Ronaldo. On the one hand, it is expensive, on the other hand, it feels last season. Ronaldo was troubled by his injury. He scored efficiently in the Dutch League. This was determined by the overall attack and defensive style environment of Dutch football. The Dutch rich shooter was derived from this, and Nunes¡¯ assistant was the one who contributed to the transfer. And the England coach Bobby Robson who plays New Barcelona.


    With these two players'' public transfer statements, Arsenal thought they had the initiative, so after the ¡ê12 million offer was sent, there was no movement, waiting for Aldridge to relax.


    But Aldridge was really suffocated. After refusing the offer, he did not say whether the player would leave or stay.


    It took so long, so much so that Dane couldn''t sit still and took the initiative to come to Aldridge''s office to ask what happened to the player''s transfer.


    Aldridge told the opponent very plainly: Millwall¡¯s money invested in these two players did not exceed 5 million pounds. Millwall is a small temple, but we also have the guts. This kind of player who lacks respect for the club, I will put him in the reserve team for four years and I will not regret it. I will still give him the salary.


    If Piret and Vieira could even call Aldridge and said quietly that they wanted a transfer, there was no need for other reasons. Aldridge''s transfer fee was slightly compromised and they would let them go.


    But his mother threatened the club with a paper transfer statement. It was a humiliation to Millwall. Aldridge would not compromise.


    Dane was soft first, and Arsenal couldn''t sink anymore. He directly asked Aldridge how much money to release.


    Aldridge said a price of 20 million pounds.


    "12.5 million."


    "19.5 million."


    "13 million."


    "19 million."


    "13 million."


    "20000000!"


    Dane finally gritted his teeth to reach agreement with Aldridge.


    Pires and Vieira transferred to Arsenal together, the total transfer fee: 14.5 million pounds.

 Chapter 163： New stadium plan

    In the European League, Serie A is the most prosperous. In addition to the wealth of the top three in the north, other teams have also become entangled due to the commercial income of the sponsor''s broadcast fee. Even the relegation team can attract some international players to join these small balls. The team''s digging also made Aldridge feel a headache.


    Because there are two TV stations competing for the broadcast contract this summer, the La Liga team also has a lot of funds to expand the army, so many middle and upper teams in La Liga have also started an "arms race", but because of the style of the league, they Most of the players who look down on the Premier League, the talented players that have appeared in England in recent years have also ended in dismal games, such as Gascoigne, Rush and so on.


    After the Premier League has eased the financial austerity of the European war ban and the huge financial pressure to build a new stadium or rebuild the stadium, it has begun to recover steadily. The investment of the major teams is increasing every year. The successful commercial operation has begun To sweetness.


    Although Manchester United won the Premier League title last season, Ferguson is still not satisfied with the lineup. After losing with Ronaldo and Hiller, he can comfort him at least that he brought Solskjaer and introduced substitute goalkeeper Vandergut. Last season, Manchester United brought in a substitute goalkeeper to transfer to Sunderland in the winter, and then brought Manchester United to the Czech national team''s amazing Pobosky, baby-faced compatriot Wan Jinyou Johnson also came to Latra Ford, in the end, Manchester United also accounted for Cruyff Jr. online, who was originally involved in the transaction of Ronaldo in Barcelona, ??but the latter obviously had strong self-esteem and refused to add to the transaction, and then put on the Red Devils. Tabard.


    Arsenal''s summer is very turbulent, and it is rumored throughout London that Riocchi will be out of class, but the head coach named Arsenal Wenger is not familiar with Fleet Street, and Arsenal completed a heavyweight signing. Reggaeira, the former is regarded as the hope of Arsenal''s revival, and the latter is not the main force in Millwall, so it can only be expected.


    Liverpool successively introduced many powerful cadres and invested more than 10 million pounds. Chelsea under Bates managed to focus on the late twilight star. The veteran Viali who won the Champions League at Juventus last season spent 10 million dollars on Chelsea. Stamford Bridge.


    Compared with other English Premier League teams recruiting and buying horses, some even expanded their troops.


    Millwall has nothing to do in the transfer market, except sellers.


    Vieira, Pires, Solskjaer, Thuram, and the transfer of four brought Millwall an income of nearly 30 million pounds. Excluding the purchase and wage expenses in the past two years, Millwall net Earn more than 20 million pounds!


    This made the young marshal Aldridge praised by the outside world as a business-minded manager, but it also criticized Millwall for his lack of initiative.


    Sold off two main players and two main substitutes. Obviously, Millwall''s strength has not increased but declined. In the new season, they will face a higher level of Manchester United, Newcastle United, Liverpool, Arsenal and other strong teams. The competition, no doubt, their attitude in the transfer market, has shown that they are behind.


    Aldridge has been very busy lately, too busy to pull away.


    Tomorrow is the day when the players return to the team for training, but he is in the private room of the Ritz Hotel.


    There were four people in the box, all dressed in suits and leather shoes. Aldridge was sitting next to the club''s CEO Adam. Opposite the two were the FA''s Chairman Wiseman and CEO Kelly.


    After eating almost the same, Aldridge came straight to the point: "Mr. President, renting Wembley is not a plan I hurriedly came up. On the contrary, I made up my mind to make this request to the FA after careful consideration."


    Wiseman and Kelly remained silent, and the chairman nodded slightly, motioning to Aldridge to continue.


    "First of all, Millwall¡¯s stadium is small and has a capacity of less than 20,000. In the new season, we are going to compete in the European Cup Winners¡¯ Cup. I don¡¯t know if UEFA will pass our stadium review, but that¡¯s not important. I think Millwall is Representing the English football team in Europe, this involves an image problem. Secondly, if Millwall can win the Premier League title in the new season, our stadium will definitely not be able to pass the UEFA review for the UEFA Champions League game next season. At that time, I will still come to you to make the same request."


    Last season, Millwall won two championships and one Asia and won the European War tickets. In this era, the three European Cups have the strongest influence in the Champions League, followed by the European Cup Winners'' Cup, and finally the UEFA Cup.


    The Champions League is the stage for national championships, and the European Cup Winners'' Cup is the stage for national championships. The rest of the UEFA Cup, the participating teams have strength, but most of them do not have the championship title, and the taste of exchanges is more intense.


    Therefore, in the new season, Millwall will compete in the three fronts to compete in the championships of four important events. The Winners Cup is the stage for the king of the cup, but Aldridge does not value it. His goal in the new season is only one: the Premier League championship!


    And he thinks farther, if Millwall is in the Champions League next season, after all, the Champions League is about to usher in expansion. I am afraid that they will not be able to play at the Lions Stadium at home. UEFA will not allow it because of the capacity of the stadium. The game takes place at the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium.


    The UEFA Champions League is a gold signboard that UEFA strives to create. If there is no UEFA Champions League, UEFA will be virtually useless. Therefore, the threshold for the UEFA Champions League is naturally high. In addition to the team''s strength, the club''s hard power is also one of the standards that cannot be dropped.


    Aldrich wants to plan ahead, Millwall cannot build a high-standard new stadium within a year, then once the new season can win the Premier League championship, next season they will rent someone else¡¯s stadium to play in the Champions League, otherwise they will Was disqualified.


    Recalling that for about two thousand years, Arsenal rented Wembley to play the home game of the Champions League. Aldrich took the lead and started renting this season until the new stadium was built.


    The advantage of lending in advance is obvious, players can familiarize with Wembley earlier, and minimize the negative impact of no home advantage.


    Secondly, the large capacity of Wembley means that the ticket income is large.


    At the same time, it can also benefit Millwall''s propaganda and enhance its influence.


    Wiseman and Kelly greeted each other, and then Wiseman sighed: "Aldrich, I want to help you, but your plan is not a long-term plan. If Millwall has been doing well, then Wen Does Bully always lend you? I heard that Millwall¡¯s new stadium plan was shelved after the Hall family took over, and it was converted into a youth training base. You always have your own stadium. "


    Aldridge nodded in disbelief, actually Adam sitting next to him was shocked. If Millwall really invested in the construction of the new stadium, it would definitely be his CEO''s failure!


    The capacity of the new stadium is only twenty-five thousand, and once built, it does not meet the UEFA Champions League standard. It is not easy to say whether it can be expanded at that time. If the money hits the float, Adam¡¯s resignation is certain and will become The laughing stock in the circle.


    Can''t help but glance at Aldridge, or this young boss has vision and courage.


    Aldrich took out a document and handed it to Wiseman, saying: "This is our new stadium plan. The investment budget is between ¡ê100 million and ¡ê150 million. My brother is talking for me. Passenger, Millwall invested 20 million pounds in the early stage, and all the remaining loans will start construction before the end of the year and will be completed within five years."


    Suddenly, more than 100 million pounds of funds are needed to build the stadium. Even the Hall family does not have so much liquidity. The Millwall club itself is not valuable, but the players they own are valuable!


    One year or two years ago, Millwall went to a loan, and it was impossible to borrow more than 100 million pounds. Even if Barnett came forward, unless he used his company as a mortgage, the major banks would only refuse.


    But this summer is different. Millwall''s team valuation has exceeded 50 million pounds. With Barnett coming out as a lobbyist, Millwall can also invest 20 million pounds in the early stage. The bank is willing to sign an agreement, and then according to The progress of the project is allocated little by little. If Millwall fails to repay the loan in the middle of the project, the subsequent grant will be terminated and Aldridge will lose everything and can only apply for bankruptcy.


    In this decision, Aldridge bet on everything he had.


    He can¡¯t build a new stadium, and it¡¯s cheaper and faster to build early than late.


    If the Premier League completely enters the capital era, Millwall will again encounter financial pressure to build the stadium, I am afraid that Millwall will no longer be able to turn over.


    Where does the income come from?


    In addition to the club''s business development, it can only sell players.


    This year, the sales of players have been close to 30 million, of which 20 million are used to invest in the preliminary work of the new stadium.


    Next summer, Stam will definitely leave, as long as he can¡¯t transfer without injuries, then Millwall can start repaying his income at least next summer, plus the broadcast share of the Premier League is getting higher and higher, Millwall also strives to enter the Champions League every year to obtain new benefits, which must be based on the team''s record, so Aldridge is not easy at all, but it is this pressure that makes him look forward to the future. The work for a long time is full of motivation and passion.


    Wiseman and Kelly discussed for another period of time, and the final focus of the debate was on interests.


    The decayed institution of the FA is full of political struggle, and Kelly, who can sit in the position of executive officer, is often the target of the thousands, because since the establishment of the Premier League and the FA¡¯s control, the FA¡¯s debt It is getting higher and higher. The role of Kelly as the CEO of the FA is to make money.


    In this regard, Aldridge doesn¡¯t want to have a little bite to talk to each other. After all, the loan of Wembley from a team like Millwall has taken a huge advantage, both in terms of income and image.


    In the end, the two sides negotiated the conditions. In addition to Millwall having to pay for the maintenance of Wembley after the game day of the leased venue, the FA will receive a 15% profit on ticket income as Millwall¡¯s Rental fee.


    It sounds like 15% is not much, but Wembley can accommodate more than 60,000 people, even if Millwall fans only have 30,000 attendance, European war tickets are more expensive than domestic league cups, even if it is calculated at 20 pounds, the FA Each game earns at least 100,000 pounds. In a season, if Millwall can go further, the FA''s total income of nearly one million pounds is not a problem. This income is already a lot for the FA.


    Wiseman has reached an oral agreement with Aldridge, but he still has to go back and unify the opinions within the FA. Before the start of the community shield game in the new season, he will give Aldridge an accurate answer.


    Aldridge smiled and shook hands with Wiseman and Kelly, and then took a step with Adam.


    Tomorrow, the team''s training will begin, and Millwall''s transfer door has been closed.


    The club signed a lot of new sponsorship contracts in the summer, plus the 9 million pounds added to the club account from the transfer market, Millwall''s finances for the 96-97 season are at least safe.


    Now Aldridge''s headache is how to face a new season with a team that has barely rested in the summer.


    Attachment: Millwall 96-97 season club first team list goalkeepers: Bout, Keller, Wright.


    Defenders: Schneider, Mills, Materazzi, Richards, Stam, Southgate, Elgra, Ferdinand, Capdevila, Zambrotta, Neil (one year seriously injured) , Comeback in March 1997, no appearances throughout the season.)


    Midfielders: Makelele, Gattuso, Pirlo, Lampard, Nedved, Barack.


    Strikers: Larson, Trezeguet, Shevchenko, Phillips, Van Nistelrooy, Glenn Charles, Tony.


    A total of 27 people.

 Chapter 164： Warm up is over

    Aldridge''s plan to prepare for the season has encountered a real impact.


    He will play in the European Cup of Winners next season. Although he doesn¡¯t value it, he wants to familiarize the team with the football styles of different countries. Therefore, in his pre-season warm-up plan, in addition to inviting the Celtics to play a friendly match in London In addition, the team also plans to fly to France and Monaco to play, and then to Spain and A Coru?a to play, and finally return to London to play two domestic friendly matches.


    Before the Olympics, Andrew finalized the transfer of Rivaldo to Europe. Rivaldo joined Spain''s A Coru?a in the summer. At the same time, because of this relationship, Andrew helped Milwall and A Coru?a to match. In a friendly match, Monaco''s friendly match was finalized by Audridge with Tigana while in France.


    Scottish football is the originator of the style of short pass coordination. This leaves the background of miner culture that is not united in Scotland. The purpose of Aldridge''s invitation to the Celtics is also to let Millwall feel the overall cooperative style of Scotland.


    However, when August arrived, Aldridge had to cancel the two friendly matches between Monaco and A Coru?a.


    Because the test after the team''s training shows: his players are too tired.


    In addition to only a few players participating in the European Cup, most of the other players went to the United States to participate in the Olympic Games, almost without rest and returned to the club non-stop, Aldridge was helpless, he missed Spain, Italy, France All entered the Olympic men''s football arena.


    All Millwall players are young, which is naturally the target of the Olympic teams from various countries.


    Therefore, he can no longer fly players to France and Spain to play away friendly games.


    Benitez moved to London and immediately took office as one of Aldridge''s assistants.


    But he was shocked on the first day of training.


    Aldridge and the players who returned to the team talked and laughed. Training is simply to get together to play football games. It is easy to relax, but it is difficult to be elegant. It is a mess.


    After the training, Benitez asked puzzled: "That''s how you train players?"


    Aldrich sighed: "Of course not, but you have to understand what the players need most. They have just gone through a period of physical hyperactivity and they are very tired, so now giving them high-intensity training will not have any effect, and it will Affect the entire season."


    In the next few days, Millwall players spent a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.


    When the first opponent, the Celtics, came to the Lion''s Cave Stadium, Aldridge put the players who participated in the European Cup and the Olympics in the summer on the bench, and put together a dynamic lineup to play friendly games.


    Afterwards, against the newly promoted Sunderland and Everton, he did so, allowing the players to rest as much as possible.


    In the three friendly matches, Millwall played in all three games. It wasn''t how bad the situation was. The opponents were very serious.


    In mid-August, the day before the Community Shield opened, Millwall held a press conference.


    Aldridge easily attended and was asked about the state of Millwall''s preparations for the summer. He said that everything is in the plan, and the friendly match is not about winning or losing.


    Millwall was a little quiet this summer. In addition to reaching an agreement with the FA to lease Wembley, Millwall''s new stadium plan has not yet come out, and the loan agreement has not been finalized.


    Recently, Fleet Street mocked Arsenal. As the neighbor of Arsenal, Thomson of The Sun asked Audridge directly at the press conference: "Mr. Hall, you have heard that Arsenal Wenger is Who is it?"


    In the past few days, the London media have made headlines to humiliate Arsenal.


    "Arsenal-Who?" ¡·


    The reporters snickered, and most of the reporters were also prepared to listen to Audridge''s provocative neighbours.


    However, Aldridge let them down.


    Wenger came to the Lions Stadium to watch the ball twice, which was not enough for the outside world to remember him.


    With a sigh, Aldridge could not bear the silly arrogance of Fleet Street.


    "Have you heard of Glenn Hoddle? And George Weah, and, forget it, these two people."


    The reporters looked at each other, and Richard frowned: "Mr. Hall, I don''t understand what you mean."


    Hoddle is the new coach of the England national team. Weah is the double player of World Football and European Football last year. These two are famous. How can no one not know?


    Even if Aldridge doesn¡¯t listen to the window, he should remember Hoddle who played with him in the Premier League!


    Aldridge sighed again and said rather boringly: "So, you should ask Hoddle and Weah if they know who Wenger is."


    The reporters were still confused.


    "Mr. Hall, can you explain why?"


    Aldridge sighed helplessly on his head: "If I remember correctly, Hoddle''s only league title in his career was won by Mr. Wenger. When Weah won the Golden Globe, he was most grateful. Who''s the person? It''s Wenger who is laughing and ironing."


    The audience was silent, Aldridge got up and left.


    The British media is like this, Yelang is arrogant, mocking others with pride and holding his own ignorance as a personality.


    After all, it is because Wenger is still in Japan. If Wenger is still in France, the British media may not be so lacking in respect.


    Although Wenger has won only one league title in Monaco, he has also achieved good results in the European competition, which is already better than many local English coaches.


    Lifting stones on Fleet Street and smashing his feet, he put his face on it and looked for people to smoke, but they didn''t care. Anyway, it was all news. How much is the face worth?


    The following morning, Wembley was recruited to fight the community shield. Aldridge still used the warm-up lineup, with half of the main force and half of the bench.


    Manchester United''s lineup is relatively neat. At least in the summer preparations, Manchester United is more prepared than Millwall.


    At least in the Olympic Games, England does not even have the qualifications to participate, and there are no Manchester United players in the main team of the England national team.


    At the Wembley stadium, which was full of seats, Aldridge did not stand on the sidelines to command, but sat quietly, even if the situation on the court was very unfavorable, he did not get up once.


    At the end of the game, the average state of Manchester United, with Solskjaer''s goal, scored a small victory over Millwall and won the community shield.


    After this game, Aldridge was criticized and ridiculed by the outside world, thinking that he was fierce in the summer when he was fighting with the English football players, but his team was very bad.


    And this is just the beginning.


    In the Premier League opener, Millwall rushed away and played 0-0 with Southampton.


    Four days later, they lost to Middlesbrough 1-2 at home.


    The two-year home unbeaten record ended.


    In addition to Millwall''s lineup is still a semi-main half-substitute due to poor performance, Middlesbrough is not the same as today, the team has sent a lot of players to the strength, Juninho, Ravanelli, Egypt Mosson and others gave Middlesbrough momentum after the start of the league.


    Millwall¡¯s poor state continues, with a difficult penalty in the League Cup to defeat the fourth-tier league team Bristol City.


    Millwall''s performance from the friendly game in early August to the end of the third round of the league at the end of August has left all the critics dumbfounded!


    Did Nima fall to the ground too fast?


    Comets didn''t hit the earth so fast!


    All parties began to fall into the ground again, the sound of Manchester United defending one wave higher than another.


    All because of the season''s first game, Manchester United''s handsome guy Beckham completed a super mid-range shot.


    Although Millwall did not fall into the relegation zone, it was actually not too far behind.


    Aldridge is going to fight for the championship this season, but the fight depends on the players, so he cares about the status of the players.


    From this close to a month of training, players who do not have enough time to rest in summer are getting better and better.


    In training, their various indicators have already surpassed the best state of last season, and psychologically have eased the tiredness and fatigue of the game, and accumulated a hunger for the game day after day!


    After the game of the League Cup successfully passed, the team was on the training ground, and each player showed the best state, so that Aldridge finally determined that their season can begin!


    Before the home match against Coventry this weekend, Aldridge attended a press conference.


    He has been trampled on recently, is it possible for individuals to **** and pee on their heads, some roadside tabloids also forged news, preaching that Aldridge has caused a crisis of confidence in the locker room, and before the transfer window closes, Milwaukee He may also be poached away by heavyweight stars.


    The reporters raised their hands to ask whether the contradiction in the locker room was true, and whether the player would want to escape from Millwall...


    Aldridge didn''t answer anything, and finally said only one sentence.


    "Milwall''s pre-season warm-up is over."


    The following day, Fleet Street collectively criticized Aldridge''s arrogance and even mocked his excuse as very naive.


    Before the start of the game that day, Aldridge entered the stadium ahead of time. The fans in the stadium stands still very enthusiastic. Although they suffered their first defeat in two years at home, they still firmly support the team.


    In England, fans have a relatively clear definition. The first type is the supporters. No matter the team¡¯s record is good or bad, the supporters will not leave. The second type is the fans. They do not have a particularly firm position. Who¡¯s football Who they like is good-looking. Before Manchester United, they may like Liverpool or Tottenham. When Manchester United started a youth storm, they turned to like Manchester United. The third type is just the followers. Where there are stars, which team is the most Attention, their eyes are focused there.


    Millwall won''t like Millwall before Aldridge came in. So, despite the small stadium, the crowded spectators are all firm supporters of the club. They don''t care what the outside world thinks of Millwall Well, it will not shake the support of the team because of the record. They are the strength of a club for long-term survival.


    Although, Millwall now has many fans and followers, but once Millwall''s record declines, they will turn around indifferently and leave.


    Aldridge walked up to the stand, step by step toward the box, and in the VIP stand under the box, the environment was slightly better and the seats were not crowded. On the seat in the back of the highest row was the passageway, sitting Arthur and Pu Skash and Ewen.


    Puskas received convalescence in the UK for the past six months. His condition has been well controlled. At least most of the time he is sober and normal-minded. At the beginning of this season, he wants to see Aldridge command the team. The game, then came to the Lion''s Cave Stadium.


    But in order to prevent him from getting out of the situation, Aldridge still asked his friend Yiwen to help take care of it, and the staff on the court will also be on call.


    Arthur felt that watching the ball in the box was not enjoyable, so he sat next to it.


    And fortunately, Arthur had seen the "War of the Century" between Hungary and England in Wembley when he was a child. For him, Puskas is the king of his generation.


    "Hey, Aldridge, your team doesn''t look good."


    Puskas didn''t give Aldridge any face, and said with a smile.


    Aldridge whispered: "You just sit here and watch. Look at it. What does my team look like? Let''s discuss it after the game."


    "Little guy, this is what you said, don''t forget."


    After Puskas laughed, he turned back and chatted with Arthur. As a father, Arthur naturally could see how much Puskas recognized and appreciated Aldridge¡¯s attitude, and happily introduced Pulpash to Milwaukee. The players on the Seoul team spoke eloquently about what they could do on the court.


    For example, Nedved became a superman in Arthur''s mouth. It is the iron man who can bring the football to the ball and hit the goal together!


    Aldridge chatted with Yiwen briefly before going down the aisle.


    The players from both sides debuted, and Millwall officially launched the strongest lineup this season against the visiting underdog Coventry.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Stam, Southgate, Capdevila.


    Midfielders: Makelele, Pirlo, Nedved.


    Forwards: Larson, Trezeguet, Shevchenko.

 Chapter 165： Sound the trumpet

    In the third round of the English Premier League, Millwall played Coventry at home.


    For this game, Aldridge is determined to win.


    The atmosphere was still hot, which made Sky TV''s gold commentary partner also infected.


    "Hello everyone, Martin Taylor and Andy Gray once again explain this round of the Premier League game this afternoon. From the pre-season warm-up game to the last round of the league, Millwall has encountered strength today. Not as good as their Coventry. At yesterday¡¯s press conference, Millwall coach Hall only said one word. He meant that the previous community shield lost to Manchester United, the league Pingnanampton, and the home field lost to Middlesbrough. It¡¯s just a warm-up match, Andy, what do you think?"


    "The outside world thinks he is just hard-mouthed, but I don''t think so. Objectively speaking, he is adjusting the status of the players. In the first few games, Millwall did not send the strongest lineup. This is a fact, such as the past two games. In the league, Lampard and Barak and Gattuso are the partners in the midfield. Their performance can not be said to be bad. Especially when the average age of the three is only 19 years old, they still played a tenacious game, and there are many highlights. , But lacks maturity and luck, so I am looking forward to today''s game. After Piray and Thuram left, Millwall, who lacked two main players, can play today what kind of football."


    The players who played today are full of energy, they have already rubbed their hands to fight.


    In the dressing room before the game, Aldridge boosted morale well.


    "The horn of Millwall''s impact on the Premier League title was officially sounded today. No one can relax before the championship is handed over. We have to tell the whole of England why we are called crazy lions!"


    This filled the whole team with a belief: victory!


    The game started, Coventry and Millwall had the same points, but in the last round they had a draw at the home of the London Hammer Gang, and they also want to stubbornly get the score on Millwall of the "Tiger Falling Pingyang" .


    But their wishes soon fell short.


    Millwall''s main lineup retains the framework of last season.


    Neither Pires nor Thuram are irreplaceable characters, and their departure will not make Millwall hurt.


    Even, Shevchenko joined the striker and the more assisted Schneider formally became the main right-back. Millwall''s offensive firepower did not decrease but increased, especially when the role of Pirlo has not attracted widespread attention. Vader is still considered to be the core of the offensive organization in the frontcourt, and marking him is the focus of all opponents, which gives Pirlo a lot of room.


    I have to say that the last FA Cup eight-ball blood-washing Liverpool game was too important for Pirlo, that is, a baptism, a key game of self-transformation, which gave him a huge confidence boost , So that he began to show his talent in the role of the organization midfielder.


    Nedvide attracted firepower for him in the frontcourt, Pirlo calmly dispatched in the back, Millwall''s attack was very smooth, and the offensive of the left and right has always challenged the nerves of Coventry''s defense.


    The offense flocked to Coventry''s door like a tide. Even after the offense, Coventry counterattacks will always lose the ball quickly. Millwall''s defensive consistency and tactical execution are very high. Instead of pretending to be like this, they effectively cut the opponent''s offensive formation to form a siege. Once the defense is successful, the defense will immediately advance to the field.


    Millwall''s offensive level is also very clear. Each line maintains an appropriate distance. Not only is the front-end offensive threat frequent, but it also firmly controls the second offensive point, which often makes their offensives sustainable.


    After Schneider and Shevchenko hit the wall, they drove the ball to the bottom after a pass. He accurately passed the ball to Trezeguet''s head. Treizege headed the ball and the ball was regretfully played. Under the beam and rebounded on the ground.


    The sighs of the audience were not over. Shevchenko, who inserted Schneider into the penalty area after the match, just happened to kill him. He faced the rebound and jumped a header. He lay on the ground and did not get up. The goalkeeper was powerless.


    "The Ukrainian has scored! This is his second goal of the season. In the last game he scored a goal for Millwall in the game against Middlesbrough. It can be seen His condition in the new season is very good! He can score goals with kicks and head kicks. Millwall¡¯s young players are really enviable. Ferguson is looking for a super forward in the summer. Hall gave away Pire in the summer but he was not worried at all, because He has Shevchenko to replace, and it is very obvious that Shevchenko has a better scoring ability in the penalty area. This young man who does not look particularly strong is unforgettable."


    Shevchenko hugged with Trezeguet after scoring a goal. Although he has been to Millwall for a year, he always feels that he is still a bit green and has nothing to do with strength, but shows his release, even He scored a goal and did not dare to celebrate. He seemed to be accused of fearing that he would not perform well next.


    Aldridge smiled and applauded on the sidelines. For putting Shevchenko on the right-wing position, Aldridge used him more to score goals than to create opportunities because of the good assists on the right back. Ned, while Larson, a left-winger, is more comprehensive, can pass, shoot and burst, plus Capdevila''s direct assists, Larsen can better share Nedved''s face The defensive pressure also releases Nedved in disguise.


    Coventry''s offense can''t be played because they can''t control the ball. It''s not that Millwall always plays the ball-controlling monkey on the court, but Millwall''s anti-robbing defense is very good. For the underdogs who don''t pass the ball accurately, it is difficult for them to overcome Millwall''s defensive barriers whether they are playing ground pass or high altitude.


    Thirteen minutes later, Nedved and Larson completed the classic two-on-one cooperation on the left side of the front of the penalty area. Larson picked the pass and Nedved took a shot after the ball was inserted forward. The opponent''s goalkeeper did not respond, but the ball hit his chest, the goalkeeper fell to the ground, and the popped ball was easily pushed by Trezeguet into the empty goal.


    The other goalkeeper''s chest was stuffed, almost like playing with a chest crushed stone. After receiving nearly three minutes of treatment on the sidelines, he slowed down and then returned to the field to continue the game.


    In the 40th minute, Pirlo inserted a pass from Nedv¨§d and unexpectedly came to the penalty area. Then a delicate straight plug broke the opponent''s defense. Shevchenko successfully intercepted the ball and crossed the ball. Sen swept the ball into the goal at the later point.


    The front trident took only 40 minutes to complete the goal.


    In the first half of the injury stoppage time, Pirlo took a corner kick, and center defender Stam scored a goal. The score was fixed at 4:0 at work.


    The fans were very excited in the first half, Millwall was back, and the wild lion, who was oppressed by the mountains, came back!


    In the second half, Coventry retreated in order to avoid a bigger score, but Millwall''s offensive was still a wave higher than the wave, Aldridge replaced two players in the 60th minute, and Barak took over for Peel. Luo, Fanny succeeded Trezeguet.


    The remaining time was the siege of Millwall''s goal against the opponent''s goal. In the 70th minute, Barak responded to Nedved''s penalty area and returned to the world wave with a shocking eyeball to score the fifth goal of the game.


    Millwall''s firepower in this game was more open, and his opponents had no strength to fight back.


    Aldridge has already sat down. He will only applaud after each goal is scored. To be honest, playing Coventry, winning six or seven is not a strength. It can only be said that the two teams are not at the same level.


    What''s more, Millwall''s current tactics are also advanced. Based on their more running, this is their advantage. How long can this advantage lead? Aldrich doesn¡¯t know, but it¡¯s okay for at least a year or two, because it involves a philosophical issue, not only the head coach wants to achieve it, but also requires the cooperation of players.


    Because Aldridge''s team is young, many of his ideas players will cooperate, this is their common pursuit, not unilateral who has achieved who.


    The new physical training introduced last season will have a more pronounced effect this season.


    Coupled with the steadily improving personal skills of players, Aldridge firmly believes that this group of players can achieve unprecedented glory.


    In the 83rd minute of the game, Nedvide also responded to Fanny''s ball in the penalty area and volleyed the ball into the net. Millwall led by six goals!


    Aldridge stood up and waved his arms happily to celebrate, because this goal was so wonderful, it was the frontcourt attack team that broke the opponent¡¯s defense through the continuous transfer of transfers. The number of passes was not many, eight feet, but almost every Feet are crucial. Using the width and space of the court, the tacit understanding between players has played an important role.


    After sitting down, Aldridge saw Benitez drawing Millwall''s goal line on his notebook. He chuckled: "This kind of goal can''t be copied, we don''t practice these in training, players practice. Getting things is actually very simple, but because of the simplicity, in actual combat, all kinds of wonderful goals can be bred on the ever-changing stadium."


    Benitez raised his eyebrows and sighed a little boringly.


    Aldridge began to wander the world, thinking of a more common thing: money.


    Millwall received nearly eight million pounds of television broadcast revenue last season, which is related to their winning the championship in both cups. The Premier League broadcast revenue accounted for about 70%.


    This season will be more than last season, it sounds like it is only 5-6 million pounds. In fact, according to the current Premier League broadcast contract, the average club is only about 3 million pounds. Of course, this is an average distribution. But the Premier League is not divided according to the principle of average distribution, but only part of the average distribution. Millwall because of the large number of live broadcasts and the high ranking of the league, so he received the broadcast revenue second only to Manchester United and Liverpool. Although Arsenal are not ranked low, they There are too few live broadcasts. They still haven''t got rid of the shadow of dull football. In that kind of game, the fans in the stands are drowsy, not to mention the audience in front of the TV.


    If it is next season, the Premier League¡¯s broadcast contract will be greatly improved. At that time, only the standard of the previous season, Millwall can easily exceed 10 million pounds in Premier League broadcast revenue, so next summer, Aldridge intends to Renew the salary of the players in the team, hoping that the players will not want to leave at that time. He may not get the top salary of the Premier League, but he will not be stingy with the salary that meets their worth.


    The broadcast income will increase even further after the new millennium. It will not be a problem for the rich team to broadcast more than 30 million to 40 million pounds per season, plus the Champions League, domestic cups, tournament bonuses, this is all Part of the income, such as Manchester United, is that hundreds of millions of pounds of money fell into the pocket, and this is less than half of the operating income.


    Aldrich can¡¯t run a debt like Manchester United. Although it is the responsibility of the Glazer family, like a decade later Chelsea has a debt of more than 700 million pounds, Arsenal has a debt of 400 million pounds, and Liverpool has a debt of more than 200 million pounds. Mill Wall simply can''t afford it. Some of them don''t care, and some earn money.


    There is no doubt that Millwall must take the road of commercialization and globalization.


    In terms of team building, Aldridge does not intend to always do a three-year short-term plan like other teams, investing a lot of money to buy players who can fight. He wants to build the Millwall blood-making function. This is undoubtedly very difficult, but he does not have the financial resources of Abu or the Abu Dhabi royal family, nor does he plan to go to the United States to raise funds like United.

 Chapter 166： Unstoppable!

    Millwall finally knocked on the victory door in the third round of the league, and it was a six-ball victory. After the game, Aldridge praised the team''s performance in an interview. It didn''t make sense to mention the visiting team.


    That night, he personally cooks at home, and during dinner he chatted with Puskas and his father about today''s game and had a pleasant evening.


    The next day''s Premier League headline news was "Lion''s strong recovery!"


    The Times reported such a news unexpectedly with the front page headlines.


    "That fat man is back! ¡·


    The subtitle is "Puskas: The King Returns!"


    The matching picture is from the stands of the Lion''s Cave Stadium. Puskas sat in the middle with his arms raised and cheered for the goal. Arthur next to him jumped directly, and Yi Wen on the other side applauded with a smile.


    Originally, the live footage captured Arthur, the chairman of Millwall, but when some senior people in the football circle saw the old man next to Arthur, they tried to recall and verify some old photos to dare to confirm.


    That fat man!


    It was the fat man who led the gold team in history to Wembley and remembered by all the audience!


    It has been more than forty years since that year, but for the fans at that time, Puskas, a fat body major, made them forget. The Hungarian national team he led directly destroyed the dignity of England at his doorstep. Even if England went back to Budapest after half a year of hard work, it only suffered even greater humiliation!


    Why did this legendary star in history appear at Lions Cave Stadium?


    Are you just watching the game?


    Unlike, it looks like he has a good relationship with the people around him.


    Compared to Millwall''s six-ball sweep of Coventry, Fleet Street is more concerned about the appearance of Puskas.


    Even Real Madrid got the news and called the Millwall club: Why are our legendary superstars in your house?


    But Real Madrid only asked symbolically, they have not yet entered the era of true global commercialization, and even Stefano has not returned to Real Madrid as the honorary chairman.


    This year''s international competition day is arranged at the end of August and early September and early October. After the first three rounds of the Premier League, the players have to move to the international arena.


    During this period, Aldridge specifically expressed his attitude in an interview: Puskas was recuperating in London. He came to the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium to watch the ball.


    At the same time, he also began to express his views to the French national team coach Ya Kai through the media.


    "Although Trezeguet is young, he is improving every day. He is a distinctive striker. I think the French team has his place in the future. Makelele completed the position transformation in Millwall. He used to be Playing as a full-back, but when he came to Millwall, he changed his back. His characteristics and functions are remarkable. This kind of player should be the favorite of the head coach, because you know what effect can be achieved by sending him to the court. You want to control the game, curb the opponent''s offense, or simply strengthen the defense, then send Makelele, you ask him to achieve 100 points, he will give 120 points, I hope that the head coach of Yakai can pay attention to these two Players, if they have been improving, have been contributing to the team, and can perform well on the top court, then please give them a chance so that they can play for the country."


    Aldrich''s sincere remarks are to buy people''s hearts, but as long as the players appreciate, because he can''t be selected for the national team, he can see Makelele and Trezeguet a little depressed.


    It is only two years away from the World Cup in France. Trezeguet can take the last train. Audridge hopes that Makelele can too. After all, it is a World Cup held in France. It is of great significance. Moreover, France is the champion team. The main position is estimated. Can''t get it, but mixing the world title is also a dream that many players can''t reach.


    Before the players returned to the team, Millwall officially announced a heavy news.


    In an official press conference, Aldridge personally announced in front of all reporters: within five years, Millwall will have a brand new top course!


    The plan and name of the new stadium are also released, and giant posters were made and posted on the club¡¯s main building wall.


    The magnificent Lion King Stadium!


    Although the fans are reluctant to lion cave stadium, but there was a new stadium plan five or six years ago, they are already prepared to usher in the new stadium.


    After all, the home game of the Millwall European Winners Cup in the new season is going to be held at Wembley, which has made fans realize that as the team becomes stronger, their infrastructure is no longer in line with the strength of the team.


    The announcement of the new stadium plan immediately caused a sensation.


    Is Millwall going against the sky?


    Just look at the stadium¡¯s publicity map to know how huge the investment will be. Other teams in the Premier League have built new stadiums in the past few years. Most of them have a capacity of 30,000 or 40,000, and the cost is capped at 30 million pounds. Millwall¡¯s construction is 60,000 capacity. And the incidental area is still so large, to create a comprehensive commercial and entertainment integrated stadium, it makes people feel that they are dreaming.


    Do you have so many fans to build such a stadium?


    It certainly didn¡¯t happen two years ago, maybe a year ago. Now, let¡¯s say that 40,000 fans support it, and 40,000 is at least no problem. As long as Millwall can maintain this upward trend, when the new stadium is completed, the attendance rate will not be a problem.


    Who puts us in the international metropolis of London?


    This advantage alone is unmatched by other teams. For example, Blackburn is a tragedy. As soon as its record declines, the attendance rate is immediately terrible.


    Millwall¡¯s long-term plan set off an uproar in the Premier League, and Ferguson commented on it: Millwall has the ambition to challenge the traditional order, and they almost succeeded last season. I have no doubt that in the future, Millwall will Become a regular guest in the Premier League championship team, but they are still young, and other teams in the Premier League should also announce their existence when playing against them, so that Millwall understands that success will not be caught.


    Aldridge did not respond to external comments. He just announced his plan. Adam will do the rest. Adam will be very busy this season. Not only must he prepare for the new stadium, but also prepare for the future. He wants to Go to many offshore financial centers to establish cooperative relations to help Millwall split the contract when signing an agreement with players in the future to achieve the effect of tax avoidance and cost reduction.


    No way, the cost of wages will be higher and higher in the future. It is not possible without some means of tax avoidance. Tax avoidance and tax evasion are two concepts. The former is legal and the latter will go to prison.


    After the national team''s game day, Millwall took a short break and went on his way to the north bank of the Thames to be an old neighbor who has been scolded by fans of the Lions this summer: Arsenal.


    Wenger has not yet taken office, but the season has already begun.


    The upset Rioch was embarrassed, knowing that the team will have a new coach to replace him, but he will also lead the team to play, defeating the Hammer Gang in the first game, North London is calm and calm, and Anfield netting in the second round After two bombs, Rioch was drowned again by the arsenal of the arsenal fans. Angrily, Rioch stood up and gave the Arsenal board an ultimatum: Brother is not playing!


    So after leading the team to the third game away victory over the newly promoted Leicester City, Leo Chi handsomely headed away.


    Fleet Street, which was not well-intentioned, immediately fanned the fire and said that Leo was afraid of losing to Millwall in Highbury in the London Derby, so he left early.


    Aldridge''s nickname was taken out more than a year ago.


    Coach killer, this time it''s good, no tricks, the other party ran away with fear.


    This is all Fleet Street **** to attract attention.


    Aldridge didn''t care at all, but now, Arsenal coach is Horston, the caretaker after Graham''s departure. This man is really a brick. Where does he need to move, Leoqi comes, he immediately resigns , Leoqi left, in order to wait for Wenger to come, he said nothing about FireWire renewal.


    Arsenal are not good for years, knowing that a new coach is coming before the season, and the media hyped Wenger as a layman, which directly misleaded Arsenal''s players, even the captain Adams ridiculed Wenger in the interview. How can a coach from Japan understand English football culture?


    It was difficult for Rioch to use one season to make Arsenal stable. Although he could not reshape Arsenal, at least Arsenal''s team used their thoughts to play football honestly.


    But now, the Arsenal locker room is in turmoil again.


    Newly joined Vieira and Pire in the summer can''t even sit on the bench, Leoqi wants to face the big brother in the team, anyway, these two players are not what he wants, Arsenal did not ask him about the summer transfer Opinion, and later realized that he was actually a spare tire, bought these two people in the transfer market, it is easy to send them to play, but who will be removed from the main position? What''s the use of him to please Pire and Vieira? Why aren''t people inside and outside?


    In the predicament of internal and external troubles, the London Derby started in Highbury.


    Arsenal fans in the stands are numb. They used to be dull football, but at least there are champions, and now his **** hopes are gone!


    The head coach who had just stood on his heels for a year ran away, and Horston stood on the sidelines like a transparent man.


    The most desperate thing for them is that Arsenal, a traditional giant, has been born to change the arrogance of the world football tactics master Chapman, and actually wants to hire a coach from Japan to teach.


    What else is going on in this **** life?


    Arsenal players clearly have low morale and are not happy with the club. They finally got a little bit of enthusiasm. When Leoqi left, nothing was left.


    Even today''s game, Aldridge can smell the scent of several Arsenal players when he walks out of the player channel.


    Millwall players are very motivated to play. They really experience the passion and charm of football. Compared to last season¡¯s 442, the 433 formation they play now is more variable and aggressive. The players are not between running. Blindly penetrating opponents'' defenses and having room to play with themselves all make them very excited.


    The thousands of Millwall fans in the stands were even more excited.


    Singing songs in droves, it is more festive than the New Year.


    "Summer, come see the King of London!"


    Arsenal did not play actively enough, but at least the defense was still in place, and the whole game only allowed Millwall to penetrate the door twice.


    Millwall beat Arsenal with two goals away, and the recovery momentum is very strong.


    After two straight victories, Millwall''s crazy momentum was unstoppable.


    Thanks Wednesday 0:3 Millwall!


    Millwall 4:1 Aston Villa!


    Liverpool 2: 4 Millwall!


    Millwall 2: 0 Nottingham Forest!


    Leicester City 1: 3 Millwall!


    Millwall 5:0 Wimbledon!


    Millwall 4:1 Tottenham!


    Until the Premier League was completed in October, Millwall had won 14 consecutive victories in various competitions. The Premier League also achieved nine consecutive victories from the third round until the twelfth round of the game.


    In the twelfth round of the Premier League, Millwall irresistibly went to Manchester to challenge defending champion Manchester United!

 Chapter 167： Crazy lion, set off!

    On the day of the Manchester United game, Manchester, with its changeable weather, was very face-saving. The sunny autumn wind was cool and it was the best match for the players.


    On the Millwall bus to Old Trafford, Aldridge sat in the first row, next to Jensen. He opened a football magazine in his hand and stared at a colorful picture with great interest.


    Jenson glanced at the magazine in his hand and snatched it off without hesitation. He stared at the young man wearing a Barcelona jersey in the color picture and said with complete praise: "Manchester United missed a genius."


    The color picture is actually just a screenshot of the live broadcast of the game. The protagonist in the picture is a Brazilian, named Ronaldo. He is wearing a Barcelona jersey with open arms to celebrate the goal after the goal.


    Although the transfer price of 20 million US dollars came to Barcelona in the summer, the most sensation in the Spanish transfer market in the summer of 1996 was not him, but a player who moved from Real Madrid to Camp Nou, Louis ¡¤Enrique.


    But under the leadership of Bobby Robson, Ronaldo has quickly become a star and darling since the first match he played for Barcelona and the Spanish Super Cup against Atletico. .


    Even the media in England, with complex emotions of envy, jealousy and hatred, began to chase the super-icon of football with the alien nickname.


    Aldridge¡¯s feelings were very complicated. Millwall¡¯s two-month Lien Chan and Lian Jie had a wonderful performance, but they lost to a superstar who relied on his personal performance.


    Even in London, Millwall''s limelight was completely snatched away by Ronaldo.


    The reason was just 20 days ago, in the seventh round of La Liga this season, Ronaldo, who has always been eye-catching, scored a goal that changed him from "human" to "half god".


    In the away game against Compostela, Barcelona scored the third goal. Ronaldo spent 14 seconds from touching the ball to breaking the goal. After five non-goal goalkeepers, he rushed around, scoring his foot skills, situation judgment, physical fitness, etc. In other respects, his comprehensive ability was maximized, and then he scored the goal that shocked Bobby Robson with his head.


    More interestingly, after the birth of this goal, the first person on the Barcelona coach to rush out and celebrate, named Mourinho, maybe it was he who participated in the coaching team this season and witnessed the rise of Ronaldo. Only then did he tell him that the best player he had seen in the world was called Ronaldo, but not Ronaldo.


    After the game, Robson lamented that Ronaldo did not belong to this planet, and the aliens began to be famous in the world!


    Later, Nike marketing continued to replay the process of scoring, and then played subtitles: Imagine asking God to turn you into the best player in the world...and God heard it.


    Jenson was still joking about the fact that Manchester United missed Ronaldo, but Aldridge turned his head to look out of the window, feeling a little sad.


    This is a good era, because it is fortunate to witness the rise of many superstars, but it is also a bad era for him, because you know that the trajectories of some superstars can become the stars of the stars. Too many are just in a hurry. Meteor.


    Ronaldo, who went to La Liga in line with his characteristics and went to the world, missed the opportunity to be taught strictly by Ferguson.


    If there is any deflection in the historical trajectory, Aldridge will imagine that Ronaldo will be able to get some golden words before the red and purple, instead of facing the two biggest enemies in his career: injury and depravity.


    He is great, but he could have become the **** of football, but he did not. Apart from the World Cup and classic goals, his club''s honor book is lacking.


    Aldrich laughed at himself, and felt that his ideas were too harsh, just as more than a decade later, people demanded Messi and Ronaldo to carry the national team to the world.


    But he only felt sorry for his position as the head coach. There are many geniuses. Instead of failing, he gave up, or lost to temptation.


    Back to reality, Aldridge and Jenson casually talked about this Brazilian genius, but the two talked more about his technical characteristics and league environment.


    In addition to La Liga''s emphasis on ball control, their defense is not particularly good. Basically, whoever has the upper hand in midfield control, who has the initiative in the game, the state is good, the **** kills, the midfield does not control Live, there may be a defeat, even the Real Madrid Barcelona, ??this is the same problem, from the perspective of the coach to analyze the many personal performance goals Ronaldo scored, many La Liga defenses are too bad, they only stare Holding the ball at the foot of the ball holder, and also like to grab, this gives the ball-breaking offensive players a lot of room to play. Looking at the crowd, they are often overtaken by an acceleration without a sense of hierarchy.


    The two chatted and the bus stopped.


    Millwall arrived at Old Trafford.


    On a sunny weekend, Old Trafford was shrouded in gloom.


    Changing the jersey shoes in the locker room, Aldridge let the players warm up on the field, he stayed quietly in the locker room.


    Compared with Millwall who came up later and ridden the dust, Manchester United can be said to have opened higher and lower this season. Today, Manchester United has almost fallen into the bottom since the establishment of the Premier League!


    Since the start of the new season in August, Manchester United has won the Community Shield. The league away win over Wimbledon Beckham shocked England, but then, Manchester United suffered three straight draws. As of the ninth round of the Derby victory in Liverpool, England have nearly five Premier League In the game, they won four wins and one draw, in good condition, but in the next two rounds of the English Premier League, Manchester United went straight back from the spring back to the cold winter!


    Newcastle United have five goals at home to cleanse Manchester United.


    Southampton beat Manchester United 6:3 at home.


    Three days ago, the home side of the Champions League against Fenerbahce, Manchester United home defeat unexpectedly 0:1.


    The Red Devil''s unbeaten home record in the European War forty years has disappeared in Ferguson''s hands!


    Suddenly, the overwhelming voice of the outside world was: Manchester United dynasty fell!


    It''s hard to say how great this 40-year European home unbeaten record is, because before 1993, Manchester United had nearly 30 years to miss the top league championship, so they didn''t go to the Champions League and occasionally played a League Cup As with the Winners'' Cup, the opponents are not the kings of the European mainstream leagues, and their home undefeated water is very high. Moreover, most of the years during the period were not even in the European War.


    But Manchester United''s poor state is no need to argue.


    Now, Manchester United are also paying for their youth. Ferguson let the young players in the team play for 90 minutes in the Champions League. The fatigue of running back and forth and the pressure of the media''s criticism when the record is not good seems to be under pressure. Defeat them.


    Even more worrying for Manchester United is that Cantona has been greatly hit mentally. In the summer of the European Cup, without his French team stopping the semi-finals, the King of Old Trafford realized that the national team''s door is no longer possible. He opened, this mental blow is even more serious than physical injuries, because the player''s game motivation will be lacking. In the first half of the year, in order to be selected for the national team, his spiritual leadership role and personal play are extreme. Other young men in Manchester United Under his leadership, people grew up together, withstanding the pressure and growing up quickly.


    But since the new season, Cantona''s performance is unsatisfactory. Before Manchester United''s two-game losing streak, his red card directly led him to miss the last two defeats, and the young Manchester United players were almost on the verge of collapse.


    In the shadow of a three-game losing streak, Manchester United will usher in the challenge of Millwall today. At this time, the league only played eleven rounds, but Millwall has 28 points and Manchester United 19 points. The distance between the two teams has been opened It''s 9 points!


    After the players warmed up, they returned to the locker room and Aldridge stood up and put his hands in his pockets.


    Looking around each player with a calm face, he said lightly: "Do I need to say something?"


    All the players shouted in unison: "No!"


    This is Old Trafford, Dream Theater.


    I almost took three points here last season, and today, I will never leave regrets again!


    The sharp-eyed and ruthless Aldridge said softly: "In the past three months, we have conquered Highbury and leveled Anfield. Today, we will rule the Dream Theater! Crazy Lion, set off!"


    He turned to open the door of the locker room and walked out first. The players followed him confidently with various expressions.


    The Manchester United players waiting to play in the player channel are very different from the past. They lack some domineering Red Devils. The three defeats in the past ten days have caused them to be too mentally shocked and reflected from the inside out.


    Aldridge walked along the side of the court towards the visiting team''s coach seat. He held his head blank and expressionless. The Red Devils fans in the nearest stand leaned out to carry out various verbal attacks on him, even with a middle finger.


    Aldrich doesn''t mind. On the contrary, if the home team fans applaud you, it will only prove that you are a soft egg and come to give the Red Devils three points!


    Ferguson also sat early in the position, chewing gum with a stern expression.


    Two months ago, he was still in the media to provoke psychological warfare, letting other Premier League teams and Millwall die. In the recent past, he has already succumbed to the conflict. Because of the internal and external problems of Manchester United, he has no energy to provoke a war of words at this time. Even Liverpool are leading Manchester United in the standings.


    In the past two months, Aldridge faced the media with a low-key attitude. No matter what Ferguson said, he responded with an official tone: If Manchester United can always maintain a high level of performance, then they won the league championship is normal, they Is stronger and more experienced than us. We just want to play the next game well, the champion? Manchester United is the biggest hit.


    Looking at the weary Manchester United lineup that lacked Cantona, Aldridge came to the sidelines and stood still, putting hands in his pockets to watch the players play.


    How important is spiritual leadership?


    That is an invisible force that will enhance the team''s strength by a grade!


    The recent defeat of Manchester United is closely related to Cantona''s status and suspension.


    On the Millwall side, the team that Aldridge is committed to building has been the mainstay of the team since the central axis that was originally delineated.


    Larson, Nedved, Southgate, this does not involve a power struggle. Although no one can shake the status of three people in the locker room, but the spirit of hard work and never fail to infect the entire team!


    The game is about to start, and the players on both sides look solemn.


    "The focus of the twelfth round of the English Premier League is about to start in Old Trafford. The defending champion Manchester United meets the current league leader Millwall. Millwall has been in a hot state recently and has scored fourteen consecutive games. Victory, nine consecutive wins in the Premier League, Hall¡¯s team is now not only a difficult defeat, but also even the draw can not get opponents to catch, in the pre-match media survey that, even if Manchester United have the advantage of home, but Milwaukee It¡¯s a popular win. Oh, Manchester United. They lost 11 goals in two rounds. This is the worst consecutive defeat in 66 years. Three days ago, they put an end to the 40-year European home unbeaten record. Has the Red Devil Dynasty reached the end?"


    "Martin, if Manchester United can''t snipe Millwall today and suppress the opponent''s winning streak, then Manchester United can basically declare the defending defeat failed."


    "Why? Is the 12-point gap difficult to track? The league has only 12 rounds! Newcastle United also led 12 points last year."


    "Because Millwall''s defense is better! They can score, but the defense is also very strong. Hall''s team is still improving. Now all Premier League teams are overwhelmed by Millwall because of your containment Unable to hold on to their midfield, Nedved and Pirlo''s tandem configuration is simply the best choice. Should it be a mark or a regional defense? Is it a frontline or a backcourt? Millwall always has a response. Road, they can open the gap from the middle, the side attack is also very mature, the offensive score points are very evenly distributed, Larson, Trezeguet, Shevchenko, Nedved, four of them in the past nine rounds of the league A total of 20 goals were scored! Among them, Larson had a maximum of 7, Pirlo, Schneider, Stam also scored goals. Millwall¡¯s offense is now undefeated, and once they can be in Latara today Ford retired, and I feel that as long as the team does not have problems, nothing can stop them from winning the club''s first top league championship."


    "But in order to make the Premier League more exciting and suspenseful, we hope that Manchester United will be able to show the momentum of the defending champions. At least in Old Trafford, they can no longer accept the blow. Now let me introduce you to the starting list of both sides. Manchester United, goalkeeper: Shu Mei Chel, defenders: Neville, May, Pallist, Elvin, midfielders: Bart, Keane, Scholes, Beckham, Solskjaer, striker: Cole. Manchester United played today A 451 formation, it seems that Ferguson wanted to contain Millwall¡¯s strong midfield control. Cantona missed the game because of a direct red card suspension. He came back in the next round, and Giggs missed due to injury. , The Red Devils fans have begun to miss his breakthrough on the sidelines as if he had no one else."


    "Millwall, starting goalkeeper: Bout, defenders: Schneider, Stam, Southgate, Capdevila, midfielder: Makelele, Pirlo, Nedved, forward : Larson, Trezeguet, Shevchenko. Hall¡¯s goal this season is obvious. His main lineup is going all-out in the league, and the League Cup and the European Cup of Winners are sent off the bench, which makes his The players got a good shift, full of energy, and each game played steadily and well. Well, the game began. The guest Millwall kicked off first. What strategy will they take to face Manchester United? We will wait and see! "

 Chapter 168： with full force

    The sky of the Dream Theater is filled with the cheering of the Red Devils fans, and the atmosphere has a strong sense of shock.


    Ten years later, when the proportion of non-local fans in the Red Devils stands exceeded 60%, I definitely couldn''t see such a scene.


    But it was because of this hot atmosphere that Millwall, who was a guest, inspired a stronger fighting spirit.


    After the opening, Millwall was mainly anti-guest, firmly controlling the initiative of the game. Obviously, the Manchester United players were very tired, and their fight and running were at least one gear behind Millwall.


    Scholes beat Pirlo from the front, double-backed Bart and Keane to limit Nedved, Manchester United made up their minds to compete with Millwall in the midfield for control.


    But their running made their wishful thinking fall through.


    The cooperation between Pirlo and Makelele in the past period has formed a tacit agreement. In the past, Makelele and Nedved were in the midfield. Before and after, in order to stabilize the defense, Makelele rarely stepped forward, so he and The distance between Nedved is a bit far, but Pirlo is different next to him. Pirlo liberated Nedved, and also activated Makelele¡¯s offensive coping ability when Scholes ran back and forth When harassing Pirlo, Pirlo transferred the ball to Makelele''s feet, and then proceeded to the next step by running position and Scholes'' choice.


    Cole withdrew from the harassment, Southgate topped up and participated in the offensive response. In the midfield and backcourt space, Millwall would never easily drop the ball.


    Faced with pressure, Pirlo took the ball out of the ball and either passed or returned. After three consecutive feet, he rushed forward, Makelele passed the ball back to his feet, and Pirlo threw away Sco The defense of Coles, followed by a direct pass to send the ball to the foot of Nedved. When Nedved''s foot with the ball on his back just touched the ball, he was knocked down from behind and Keane took it directly. foul.


    The referee Boll halted the game and awarded a free kick.


    Keane stepped back without theory, staring at Nedved.


    When the Czech got up, he put the ball under his feet, the waist was not straightened, but he kicked the ball towards the back with one foot.


    Quick kick!


    Pirlo took the ball near the middle circle. After stopping the ball, he passed a long pass over the spot and the ball directly passed the top of Manchester United''s defensive midfielder.


    The left wing Larson was in front of the penalty area, blocking his back with Neville''s chest to remove the ball, and then at the moment the ball fell, he used the outer foot to knock the ball away from the side, from stopping the ball to passing, the action was done in a simple, concise elegant!


    Almost at the same time, Capdevila plugged in on the left with a high speed and the ball went straight to the bottom line. Neville turned around and chased it obviously slower.


    Capdevila''s dribbling bottom allowed the entire Manchester United defense to turn around and recover, but he took a more decisive pass.


    This is a foot on the earth, the ball quickly flew to the front door area, Trezeguet and David May were on the same point, but this made Schmeichel dare not attack and tried to occupy the body with his body. Trezeguet knew that he couldn''t catch up with the ball, so he deliberately strengthened his physical confrontation, so that May could not make it!


    The ball rolled over in front of them, Schmeichel was shocked, turned around and ran to the back post, but he did not have the ball fast, Shevchenko unexpectedly patted the horse and hit the ball with a kick. Goal.


    "Shevchenko, Shevchenko, Shevchenko! What a powerful striker! He scored again! And at Old Trafford, Capdevila''s defender has been stable this season Sit firmly in the main position, his performance is amazing, he is a full-back, but he not only needs to defend at Millwall, but also to do the work of frontier assists! Millwall leads Manchester United by one goal away !"


    After the goal, Shevchenko pointed to Capdevila and ran over. The other teammates also ran over. They hugged tightly, symbolizing their unity!


    "Martin, this goal looks simple, but did you find that Nedvide kicked in, Pirlo made a long pass, Larsson scored the ball, Capdevila crossed, Trezeguet in front Point attracted defensive attention, Shevchenko inserted a goal after the break, Millwall''s frontcourt offensive players are involved in the whole process of this goal, if only the frontcourt players, Manchester United may still be able to defend, but Capde Vera''s unexpected assist came forward, which made a loophole in Manchester United''s defense. Look, Neville stopped Beckham. I guess he must make the opponent want to go back to the defense deeper. Otherwise, Neville alone wants to Defend Larson and Capdevila? No kidding, it''s already difficult to defend Larson without making mistakes."


    "Oh, I agree with you. Ferguson''s expression is not very good. Uh, in the past few games, his expression hasn''t looked good. He pointed at his disciples, and it seems to make them work harder."


    Aldridge cheered his arms, then raised his fists proudly.


    The camera was aimed at him, and the boos of Old Trafford gave him.


    It doesn''t matter, just shush.


    The head coach who will be frightened by boos has a fart future!


    Anfield, Highbury, White Hart Lane, Stamford Bridge, Upton Park...Every booing course will remember me!


    After celebrating, the players on the court were very calm. Nedved jogged back for the first time, and the expression on his face instantly became ancient.


    After the kick-off, Manchester United wanted to reverse the decline, but their offensive formation was fragmented by Millwall''s defense from the frontcourt. Beckham stopped the ball on the wing and Larson came to his side to make In the defensive position, he took the ball a step forward, waiting for Capdevila to steal the ball and then passed the ball to Larson. Beckham counter-robbed and Larsen kicked the ball. Came with Capdevila for a one-on-one.


    Beckham ran back, Capdevila stopped the ball instead, and passed the ball to Makelele, who was in the back. The pace of the game was firmly in the hands of Millwall.


    Before Beckham ran back halfway, Makelele and Pirlo made a two-for-one, and the ball passed to the foot of the wing of Capdevila.


    Capdevila took the ball and made a fake pass. Beckham was tricked into losing his weight. Capdevila quickly took the ball forward. Neville had to pull the edge and blocked it. Capde Vera simply didn''t give the opponent a chance to get close, and passed the ball to Larson, who was in the front and bottom.


    Larson, who got the ball on the bottom line, attracted May to defend. Instead, he took the ball back and moved two steps, then passed the ball to Nedved, who inserted the ball, and then turned around and cut into the front. De Vide was so impressed that he kept kicking the ball back to the front and tore apart Manchester United''s back line.


    Larson dexterously pushed the ball into the far corner to easily put the ball into the net.


    Schmeichel growled angrily at the back, while May and Palister raised their hands to signal Larson''s offside.


    Before Larson shot, the referee raised his flag to signal him offside.


    Old Trafford made a false alarm.


    Larson''s expression was a bit depressed with his hands on his hips: obviously a good shot!


    The cooperation just now was brilliant, but he was sentenced to offside.


    Aldridge went to put pressure on the fourth official, whether he was offside or not, he would do so.


    He protested to the judges one after another, and played back through the slow mirror on the big screen. It was difficult to say whether Larson was offside. In a slight way, from a neutral point of view, both judgment and non-judgment are acceptable. The referee cannot be asked to be more accurate than the machine.


    Especially if Larson had a recovery after the pass and then rushed forward, just to counter offside, but if he went back from the offside position, it would be subjectively easier to be judged as offside.


    Manchester United escaped, and the game continued. The eagerness to equalize the score made Manchester United''s formation must be pushed forward, and Scholes has not completely stood in the front waist position. Last season, he still served as a shadow forward. On the road to help Manchester United win the championship, ten goals are precious.


    Pirlo''s historical defense was criticized as a short board. Aldrich believes that the big reason is that he has been trained as a midfielder when he debuted. In this era, you can''t say that the midfielder does not practice defensive skills, but the classic midfielder The defensive ability is really terrible, and because of this, the classical midfielder will disappear from Europe in the future.


    Therefore, in the past year or so, Aldridge¡¯s training to transform Pirlo not only allowed him to understand the importance of organization in his position, but also strengthened his defense, even though the explosiveness of speed still cannot make People are satisfied, but the defensive consciousness has been greatly improved from the position. The enthusiasm for fighting is not related to ability. The key is consciousness. It is like Harvey in the future. You can¡¯t say how good his defensive skills are, but in In the midfield, he is crucial to the entire team if he participates in defense.


    Pirlo is enough to harass Scholes. Once Scholes shows signs of going forward, Makelele, who is responsible for interception, will completely kill Manchester United''s offensive.


    As a result, Manchester United has tried several times to give the ball to Scholes to organize the offense has not been effective, playing the wing will also fall into the defense of Millwall''s offensive players after retreating compressed space.


    Several offenses have had little effect. Keane chose to take the ball forward. He also has a good ability to organize the offense. However, he obviously has more dribbling this time and was more actively run by Nedved from the side. Fang steals the ball, Nedvide who hits the counter-attack on the spot and passes the ball to Trezeguet, who then retreats forward, and then strides forward.


    Butt hurriedly stared at Nedved, but before he posted it, Trezeguet passed the ball back to Nedved, who picked the ball into the penalty area, and the former turned and rushed to the penalty area. , The timing of passing was combined just right, the ball crossed the top of Paliste and May, and Trezeguet rushed forward to the small penalty area, the two central defenders had to turn around, and Palestine stumbled. Trezeguet fell.


    Ball decisively halted the game, fingered a penalty, and pulled out a yellow card to Paliste.


    Old Trafford was full of boos and felt Trezeguet was a fake.


    But through slow motion, this is definitely a penalty.


    If it was not Trezeguet who was sticking to Palistr and not rushing forward with an absolute single-handed opportunity, I am afraid it would not be as simple as a yellow card.


    Aldridge is still very dissatisfied, he thinks it should be a red card.


    The fourth official chatted with him patiently.


    "Fifty and fifty, Schmeichel also has a chance to destroy the ball."


    "My players have already started to speed up. At the same distance, Schmeichel who is still standing on the goal line and then starts to accelerate, can it be faster than my forward?"


    "Ah, it didn''t happen, we can only guess, do you say yes?"


    "You say it''s a bit rogue. Forget it. I won''t argue with you. I won''t complain if I can''t score a penalty."


    Aldridge said at the end that he smiled with the fourth official.


    Sometimes the referee is difficult to do.


    Larson stood in front of the penalty kick, facing the booing of Old Trafford resounding in the sky, he calmly approached, then calmly pushed the ball into the corner of the goal, Schmeichel guessed the direction but couldn''t get the ball Block out, after all, it is a theoretical dead end.


    Millwall led by two goals away, and this was only 28 minutes in the first half.

 Chapter 169： A century of shame

    Most of the stands in Old Trafford were silent, and only Millwall fans who came as guests were singing with excitement.


    But more Red Devils fans are still optimistically comforting themselves.


    "It''s nothing, nothing. Two goals fell behind. Last year, two goals came back."


    Yes, most fans think today''s game is very similar to last year''s remake. Millwall made a two-goal advanced goal and ended up with a 5:5 draw.


    In any case, it is not time for despair.


    But Aldridge was determined to make the Red Devils desperate today!


    Take advantage of your illness and kill you!


    He doesn''t care about the poor condition of the Manchester United players, physical problems, continuous defeats, the main force can''t play, and other adverse factors.


    The first thing he wants is a victory, 3 points, and secondly, he can enter Manchester United three and will not have the advantage of two goals.


    Millwall is going to blow up a storm across England, and let the mad lion step on the throne with the bodies of all the giants!


    "Manchester United''s situation is very bad, they can''t control the game. Scholes, the young man who is expected to be the successor of Cantona, is in a clear disadvantage. Then again, even if Cantona is on the court, what happens? What? He himself admitted in an interview last month that he had a problem, and he couldn¡¯t find the reason why he was in a bad state.¡±


    Manchester United showed fatigue from the opening, and their off-the-ball movement decreased significantly, which directly led to their offensive players being directly marked to death. Today Solskjaer works very hard, but relying on him in Schneider What''s the use of running away from the side? No one can accurately pass the ball to him, he has no chance to play.


    Ferguson¡¯s character, Manchester United¡¯s heritage, and the blood of the Red Devils all make it impossible for them to have the idea of ??a small team losing and winning. The strong are not afraid of failure, they are afraid of not winning, fear It doesn''t even have the courage to struggle against it!


    Therefore, Manchester United began to counterattack, Millwall was calm, especially when Manchester United''s running power was not attentive, Nedved''s immortal Iron Man was even more dazzling. He actively participated in the defense and made up for Pirlo. With his defensive loopholes, coupled with Makelele, even though Keane and Bart both stepped forward to participate in the offense, they couldn''t do anything at all in the middle.


    The full-backs also attacked boldly. Manchester United finally created an opportunity, but Beckham played the ball out of the bottom line.


    Butt quickly took the ball and directly tossed the ball to his compatriot Schneider. Solskjaer went back to the backcourt without thinking. He knew that Millwall was turning from defense to attack faster than anyone else.


    But his two legs clearly couldn''t run faster than the ball.


    Elvin assisted before, and Shevchenko who defended him rushed forward after Manchester United''s attack, leaving him far behind. Schneider''s long pass from the top came as expected, and the rear was empty. Manchester United immediately realized what is called the pressure of the army!


    Larson, Trezeguet, Shevchenko, plus the undead Nedved, four sprints together, Manchester United has two central defenders left in the backcourt, and can only withdraw from the restricted area.


    Shevchenko caught the ball and made a slight adjustment to pass the middle. May went to defend Trezeguet, but the opponent missed the ball. Larsen of the left wing took the ball and gently returned it to the top of the penalty area.


    The ball rolled slowly, and Nedved didn''t need to adjust.


    Schmeichel flew out but couldn''t touch the ball. It wasn''t the angle, but the speed. The ball was too fast. When Schmeichel was acting, the ball had already crossed the goal line.


    "The goal was scored again! Millwall led by three goals. I don''t think there is any suspense in the game, although the game still has fifty minutes. Nedved scored a great long shot. Today Keane and Bart completely follow Not at the pace of Nedved, he has been running at a high speed, running at a high speed, running at a high speed, when will he ever know that we are tired?! Millwall''s **** of war, leading the mad lion to become stronger every day! This The Czech who shined in the European Cup in the summer is undoubtedly the number one star of Millwall! It is also one of the best in the Premier League!"


    After scoring a goal, Nedved ran to the visiting team''s stand, his fists clenched tightly, showing a roaring expression.


    Crazy Lion fans cheered him excitedly, and even some fans wanted to come over the grandstand and hug Nedved, but were blocked by the stadium staff.


    Aldridge tilted his head on the sidelines, closed his eyes and raised his mouth, squeezed his hands in one hand, squeezed his fists fiercely, and kept swinging slightly. After throwing away the jersey, he jumped up and looked very excited. In the team, Nedved is the most admired by Barak, and he also strives to make himself like a giant like Nedved. .


    Ferguson''s face was very green. He knew he could not let the players perform like this. Less than ten minutes before the end of the first half, he had to stabilize the team. If he missed another ball, I''m afraid everything would be over.


    He made a gesture to calm down the players, avoid dropping the ball first, and he had to make adjustments during the intermission.


    Originally intending to completely freeze Nedved with the configuration of the double waist, but Ferguson can see that Nedved''s organizational role has been weakened. The Italian young man is inconspicuous on the field, but under the protection of Makelele, he The handling of the ball was very easy and calm, Scholes was dizzy, Cole retreated too deep, but also reduced the offensive threat of Manchester United.


    In the last few minutes of the first half, Manchester United did not lose the ball, but before walking into the locker room, the players'' expressions were extremely frustrated, and they were very exhausted after panting.


    In the second half Manchester United made adjustments.


    Ferguson let Keane go up, at least he went to grab Pirlo, it must be an overwhelming victory, but also to allow Scholes to have a point of contact when he was transferred from the defense to expand the room for play.


    Aldridge saw a change in Manchester United''s tactics and outlined a faint smile.


    Millwall allowed Pirlo to organize after the delay, and it could not be organized without representing Nedved!


    Come and grab Pirlo, better, lead the snake out of the hole, this is good, Pirlo has become a cover for Nedved!


    Keane ran in a wide range in the midfield to try to limit Pirlo, but Pirlo gave up too much control of the ball when he was in a bad situation. He took the ball from the back and passed it to his teammates. Even the teammates consciously Instead of passing him the ball, but through the side transition, Nedved had more room to move in the frontcourt.


    Schneider responded to Makelele''s cross pass to drive the ball forward. Solskjaer caught up. Midway, Schneider came to an emergency stop, held the ball at his feet and no longer moved forward, then easily passed the ball to In the middle of the road, Nedved voluntarily ran over to take the ball, and the speed was up. He leaned forward to make a catching movement. But Bart''s center of gravity also moved forward. As a result, Nedved did not catch the ball, but Following the ball''s trajectory to complete the turn, Bart''s center of gravity was deceived, plus Nedved''s explosive acceleration, he was directly shaken.


    Dribbling from the middle to Manchester United''s penalty area, May and Paliste were obviously very passive.


    Larson, Shevchenko, two wingers cut the ribs of the penalty area without the ball, plus Trezeguet harassment in the middle, Manchester United''s back line was crumbling.


    Nedved made a fake long shot. When Paliste moved slightly to block, Nedved made a real pass to the penalty area and the ball came from Paleste. Rolled over, penetrated the defense line, Shevchenko faced the ball this time without greed, but instead passed the ball after Schmeichel''s attack, Trezeguet directly shoveled down on the ground under May''s interference, the ball He was knocked into the goal by his foot.


    "Four to zero! This is the 18th foot shot of Millwall in the match, Manchester United is unable to resist, Trezeguet also scored the goal, he should thank Shevchenko, the Ukrainian passed the ball selflessly , Also added an assist to his credit. Manchester United seems to have no way, do not know how to contain Millwall''s offense. Andy, what do you think? I think Manchester United will not be able to make a comeback in this game, But how Millwall should be contained may not only be a headache for Ferguson, but also a question for all the Premier League teams to calmly think about."


    "Martin, I just want to say that there was a tactical genius in England! Aldrich Hall was not blinded by Millwall¡¯s success in the previous two seasons, and his team also encountered most of this era. The offensive problems encountered by the team, before, we all know that Nedvide is the core of Millwall''s offensive offense, he will organize the offense, scoring goals or assists is not his main task, but with many strong teams The same problem was encountered: what should the team''s offense do once their frontcourt core was completely frozen? In England, we will see frequent side passes, and in Italy, we will see the ability of superstars. Show, but Millwall has completely reversed the situation tactically. Pirlo is the invisible commander on Millwall''s field. He is the original source of Millwall''s attack. He has a loose environment to observe the situation on the field and decided Where to pass the ball to start the attack, although he does not directly assist or score, but most of Millwall''s goals come from his initial move, Ferguson obviously also found this, Manchester United wanted to limit Ned in the first half Vader, but found that they were staring at the wrong person. When Manchester United fixed the problem in the second half, Keane went to restrict Pirlo, but Nedved defeated Bart in a one-on-one contest, which released the power, Mill. Wall¡¯s tandem approach was originally a paradox, a tactic that England¡¯s traditional 442 formation cannot do.¡±


    "why?"


    "Because you can''t put another Gascoyne behind Gascoyne. Once you drop the ball in the midfield and backcourt, there will be a big problem in defense. And Keane steals Pirlo once in the second half. What happens next? Keane? Passing the ball forward, Makelele successfully intercepted. The biggest feature of Hall''s set of tactics is that the midfield also created a space for mistakes for Pirlo. Under the protection of Makelele, his risk was minimized, and when After Pirlo grew up completely in the future, he was calmer, calmer, and made fewer mistakes, so Millwall''s offensive threats became even more limitless."


    "I think that Hall''s transformation of the striker is the most successful. In the past, most of the strikers we saw stood in the dead position and took the ball to start creating opportunities. Now, even with the same number of people, Millwall''s two wingers When the first blow is fatal, it will cut the penalty area from the side of the road at a high speed, forming a direct threat to the front door, and also making the defensive players unable to guard, and Larson and Shevchenko are so fast, I think not Several defenders can turn around to catch up. I am afraid that only the top Italian defenders can limit this tactic under the premise of passing accurate predictions."


    "The key point is not how the forward moves, but the timing of the pass. Millwall is doing this well to play an extremely efficient offense, which also requires high player capabilities, and the passer must be able to master the most. It¡¯s a good time, there is a tacit understanding of the striker¡¯s running position. This is not something that ordinary teams can copy if they want to imitate. At least, I think that the players in Millwall have different talents. The most curious thing is that they are themselves Talented, or does Hall have the magic to make them different."


    Ferguson''s nose is scary, he feels that Millwall has changed dramatically from last season.


    Millwall, who scored five goals at Old Trafford last season, relied more on individual play. Although there were tactical highlights, it was more on top of the players¡¯ top performance.


    But Millwall today completely destroyed Manchester United who was not in shape.


    But even for Manchester United in normal condition, Ferguson did not dare to pack the ticket to absolutely suppress Millwall.


    Not to mention how Manchester United breaks Millwall''s overall defensive system, at least how Manchester United defends Millwall is a big problem.


    Aldridge has built this team with too much control and ability, and at the same time there is no lack of physical confrontation. In addition to Pirlo''s softness, the other players are all tough guys, especially the trident on the front line, Lal Mori and Shevchenko have speed, and Trezeguet has a body. This kind of rib obliquely breaks the door is unpredictable.


    Ferguson contracted the midfielders, changing to 4411, Cole topped the front, Solskjaer behind, small diamond midfielder, Keane went back to defend, Bart, Scholes, Beckham three attacked Pirlo With Makelele, the wings were pulled apart when attacking.


    Aldridge noticed that Manchester United began to compress the midfield defense and made a gesture on the sidelines. The players on the court understood.


    What makes his 433 more flexible than 442 is that he can shift the focus of the offense without changing the formation position.


    In the following time, Pirlo and Nedved attracted defensive pressure in the midfield, while Schneider and Capdevila assisted forward and cooperated with the winger to completely explode Manchester United''s side defense!


    Especially in the second half of the game, the Manchester United players rushed to no avail, and their physical fitness first had problems.


    After Schneider got out of the floor, he dribble the ball into the penalty area, and then made a surprise cross-footed pass. The ball hit the back-to-back Keane leg and directly bounced into the Manchester United goal.


    Oolong!


    At the last minute of the game, Larsson took the ball on the left side of the front of the penalty area and dribble the ball. The world wave locked the score at a **** 0:6.


    Old Trafford falls!


    Three rounds of Premier League lost 17 goals, a century of shame!


    The score at home will also remain in memory for a long time.


    Millwall has a ten-game winning streak. After 12 rounds in the league, it leads Manchester United by 12 points!

 Chapter 170： Leading the fission of football

    When Millwall scored the fourth goal, some of the Red Devils fans in the Old Trafford stand began to retire early, whether it was unbearable to witness the Red Devils continue to be slaughtered or unable to bear the immediate picture, the whistle blew at the end of the game At that moment, the stand of Dream Theater was almost half blank.


    Aldridge clenched his fists firmly, and then slightly suppressed the excitement, turned to Ferguson, the two shook hands like a dragon, and split off without saying a word, obviously Ferguson was not interested in asking Audrey today Qi went for a drink, and he couldn''t wait to go back to the dressing room and turn on the hair dryer.


    Aldrich turned and shook hands with each coach with a smile on his face, and then walked into the court to hug and communicate with each player.


    Manchester United played very badly today. Their players fled into the player channel as fast as they could. Millwall players walked to the visiting team''s stand after a period of celebration. The players took off their jerseys and threw them into the stands. Then he raised his head and applauded the fans.


    The players retreated to the locker room to prepare for home, while Aldridge went directly to an interview after the game.


    The reporter of the BBC opened the door and asked directly: "According to the current momentum of Millwall, should the league champion already belong to you?"


    Aldridge''s face was relaxed and he smiled: "Of course it is impossible. The league has only 12 rounds, and the road is still long. Although we are 12 points ahead of the defending champion, as long as we lose three goals, Manchester United win three games, plus We have to fight again in the second half of the league, and the current advantage may be reversed. Millwall is still far away from the championship. I have always emphasized that we only focus on the next game, but play well in each game. Of course, it is for player improvement and championship. If my players can perform as well as today, then we have no reason to give the championship trophy to other teams."


    "Do you think Manchester United still has the possibility to defend? The three-game losing streak and 17 goals conceded in the top league, this may be the darkest moment in Manchester United history."


    Aldrich shook his head and said seriously: "This is unfair and illogical. Is Manchester United better than it is now when they are relegated? Now they are still playing in the Champions League, they just have some trouble, their players Young, Ferguson has transferred a lot of youth players from the youth team this season, giving them the opportunity to improve their growth. This needs to pay a certain price. I firmly believe that the plight of Manchester United is temporary. Ferguson does not need to prove anything. He just has the ability to be When everyone questioned him, he brought Manchester United back from the abyss to the top, so Millwall must be vigilant. If we think Manchester United is out, it will be an irreparable mistake!"


    "Comment on the player''s performance, who do you think is the best player in the game?"


    "Wow, this is a problem. My players have performed well, the strikers have scored goals, and the midfielders have also contributed a lot. If I have to say a name, I think it is Makelele. Manchester United has a certain offensive. Very fierce, but Makelele''s top performance made Manchester United''s offensive in the frontcourt difficult, and also played a huge role when Pirlo was restricted. I think in the midfield position, Makelele is already the Premier League star, maybe you I can say that Keane has both offensive and defensive, but I think in the position of the midfielder, don¡¯t discuss how to attack first. In the field of defense, no one can do better than Makelele. He will become a world-class in the future. Players, but he still needs more games. I firmly believe that Millwall will give him and other excellent players the highest stage to improve. I also hope that the French national team will give him some opportunities to gain valuable experience in international competitions. "


    ...


    At the end of the interview, the players took a shower and changed their clothes in the locker room. Some were singing, some were twisting their hips and dancing, and some were sitting together and talking and laughing. Everyone was very excited. Excitement.


    Aldridge did not go back with the big troops because he received a text message from Melanie.


    Outside Old Trafford, Melanie drove a brand new Bentley, and Aldridge pulled in the car door and sat in.


    Dressed casually, she came up to kiss him on the face and smiled: "Good job! Haha, today is the end of Manchester United!"


    Aldridge couldn¡¯t help crying: ¡°When Millwall won at Anfield, you said it was my end, and today is the end of Manchester United. Have you come to see the ball today?¡±


    "Well, come, let''s go to Liverpool to eat."


    Aldridge didn''t ask too much. On the way to Liverpool, the two chatted casually about the game.


    Melanie thinks Aldridge should have some crazy celebrations at Old Trafford like last year, which can humiliate Manchester United.


    Aldridge smiled without answering.


    In many cases, the celebration action is an emotional vent from the inside out, not a deliberate performance.


    Last year, he could almost win at Old Trafford. Nedvide''s goal before the end made him excited. Although the final defeat was equalized by Manchester United, it was indeed the most exciting moment since he coached.


    Today is different. Millwall and Manchester United are in a hot state and one is in a bad state. With the addition of various unfavorable factors on the side of Manchester United, after Millwall scored two goals, Aldridge has a bottom in his heart and the winning ticket is in hand. , Are you excited? Excited, but not enough to make him ¡°crazy¡±.


    It was dark when driving to Liverpool, Melanie drove to a high-end restaurant in the city, and Aldridge walked in with her hand in hand.


    I thought it was a dinner for two, but when choosing a seat, the two sat side by side on a square table for four.


    Aldridge looked at the empty seat opposite and wondered: "Who else is coming?"


    "Victoria, she went to watch the ball with me today. She was a little late and we will order later."


    Aldridge didn''t care about it either. He wasn''t familiar here, but when he entered the door, he accidentally saw some suspicious characters across the street. According to his experience, it should be the paparazzi. It is estimated that the news was captured here.


    His love affair with Melanie was exposed last year. There is nothing to speculate on, so he pretended to ignore it.


    Victoria was late, and Melanie called her several times in a row, but the other party was just sorry to say that she would be late for something.


    Aldrich, so hungry that his chest was on his back, was almost lying on the table.


    "Crazy cow disease has made me eaten beef for a long time. I have changed to eat seafood in the past six months.


    Aldridge complained rather helplessly.


    This year, the United Kingdom was suffering from mad cow disease. The Prime Minister also ordered the extermination of cattle, which made him lose one of the dishes on the table.


    Melanie was also impatient with playing with his palm. Looking at the time, he sighed: "I was going to have dinner and watch a movie."


    "what movie?"


    "Mr. Sweetheart, you don''t like the kind of movies you watch."


    "Eh, I like this one, the handsome guy Tom Cruise."


    "Huh? Newly released, have you seen it?"


    "No, I have seen the introduction, so let''s go watch it someday."


    While the two were chatting, Victoria finally arrived late.


    Since the seats of the two were facing the door, when Victoria and the other person walked over, Aldridge and Melanie saw them at a glance.


    Aldrich''s original relaxed expression became a bit stiff, and then returned to normal with a smile.


    But his hand pulled out his phone from the outer pocket of his suit, blocked it with a table, his eyes looked down slightly, and then quickly pressed his finger to send Andrew a text message: Call me! ! !


    Melanie saw his movements and cast an incomprehensible look at him. Aldridge blinked her left eye gently at her, Melanie said quietly.


    "Hi, Aldridge."


    Victoria walked to the table and greeted generously and then sat down. The young man who came with her was also a handsome guy. When he saw Audridge here, his face was obviously embarrassing, but he could only reach out to Audridge And said, "Good evening, Mr. Hall."


    "Hi, David."


    Aldrich got up and shook hands with each other, then the four of them took their seats.


    The man sitting opposite Aldridge is Manchester United player Beckham.


    The two have not communicated since the unpleasant event last spring. Today is the first non-working meeting. In the past, they have met at various dinner parties organized by the English football circle, but they all greeted each other formally. .


    Melanie and Victoria started discussing dinner, and they were in a good mood.


    Aldridge saw Beckham look like a needle felt, and smiled and asked, "What did Lord Lord say to you after the game?"


    Even though Ferguson has not yet been knighted, some Manchester United fans have begun to call him Lord.


    Beckham was obviously a little nervous and not mature enough, and opened his mouth to tell Audridge what happened after the game.


    Ferguson turned on the hair dryer in the dressing room. No one was spared, and each was scolded as a **** dog.


    Finally, I made a summary: You have been thrown off ten streets by Millwall players! Just running enthusiasm, they are a hundred times stronger than you! Are you tired? If you put all your energy on football, you will not be tired like a dog!


    Regardless of the tactical fission caused by Millwall in English football, at least Ferguson has realized that his players are completely lagging behind Millwall in physical fitness, which also makes Ferguson begin to explore Millwall''s physical training mechanism. More intuitively, This ferocious defeat inspired Ferguson. He had a better idea of ??how to use Scholes. The midfield configuration of Keane and Bart is about to come to the end.


    In a sense, Mildred, led by Aldridge, has sprung up, accelerating the changes in the Premier League. From the players to the technical and tactical aspects, they will become a new template. Although it is impossible to be copied, the strongest is the most borrowed. Normal thing.


    Beckham regretted everything after saying nothing.


    Can you tell anything about the dressing room?


    And still tell the rival coach!


    Although he lost the ball today, he suddenly forgot everything because he was favored by the goddess.


    "Mr. Hall, please don''t take these words, uh..."


    "Hehehe, I understand, David, Sir Lord is right, the players should focus their energy on football."


    Aldridge''s remarks came to an end, after all, the opponent is a Manchester United player, he is not qualified to teach the opponent.


    At this time, Aldridge''s phone rang, he said sorry to the three, and then got up to answer the phone in a secluded place.


    "looking for me?"


    "It''s okay, just ask me to help me out and be calculated."


    "Who?"


    "woman."


    "Is there another three editions of girls entangled with you?"


    "No, Melanie''s friend."


    "Oh, you''re not too blessed."


    "Not as you think, thanks."


    "Wait, I have something to do with you. Come to my company sometime."


    "Well, I wrote it down."


    After hanging up the phone, Aldridge walked back to the dining table and said to the three people with a look of regret, "Sorry, the agent called me and something urgent happened. I must rush back to London to deal with it."


    Melanie hadn''t responded yet, and Victoria frowned, "Is there any business at eight at night?"


    Aldridge said helplessly: "We were talking about a transfer, everything was done, but suddenly other clubs intervened, and now we have to go back and renegotiate the negotiation conditions. It is a very important player, so it is a matter of seconds. , David should understand this kind of thing."


    Beckham nodded seriously, and the transfer market changed rapidly.


    Not to mention how many excellent young players Manchester United cut off, this summer, everyone waited for Hiller to come and see that everything was negotiated before signing, but Keegan of the Gole Golem killed halfway and played a family card with Hiller. Let Manchester United pass the top shooter.


    "Then I''ll send you, Victoria, and don''t disturb the world of you two."


    Melanie smiled and waved goodbye to Victoria, who was smiling, and then walked out of the restaurant with Aldridge. When the two turned around, Victoria''s face immediately became a little ugly.

 Chapter 171： Her show

    Because it was already night, driving from Liverpool to London would take about six hours, and Melanie would also return to London to work at the next stop, so she drove to the airport with Aldridge and flew back to London in just an hour. As for her car Will let my brother come to the airport and drive home.


    On the way to the airport by car, Aldridge called and booked the ticket after getting on the bus and looked out the window without a word, his face calm.


    "Hey, are you angry?"


    "No."


    "Liar, I can see it, somehow."


    Melanie was also a little unhappy. She knew that the reason for Aldridge''s departure was just made up.


    Aldridge turned to look at her and asked, "Do you know Victoria will come with Beckham?"


    "do not know."


    "Really?"


    "Of course it''s true. She said that she recently made a new boyfriend. As for who didn''t tell us, today she said to have a meal together. I think she just wanted to keep some mystery. It really made me not think it would be Baker. Ham, they are so well matched, aren''t they? Are you really in conflict with Beckham?"


    Aldridge turned his head again and looked silently out of the window.


    Is he in conflict with Beckham?


    He didn¡¯t think there was. He could only say that there was a disagreement in the temporary ¡°subordinate¡± relationship between the two at work. Beckham left, Aldridge¡¯s work remained the same, they were all adults, and no one would care about it. Occasionally meeting in a social setting to say hello, it just proves that there is no personal relationship between the two.


    Aldridge didn¡¯t come to chase the stars. He couldn¡¯t make a deliberate attempt to please Beckham. They didn¡¯t have a common topic. Moreover, being close to any other team player as a Millwall coach is easy to be misunderstood. After all, he is also the boss. Holding a checkbook in his hand.


    Rumors of "contradiction" between the two were caused by fleet speculation.


    This year also ridiculed Aldridge for this, because Beckham won with Manchester United.


    "Why don''t you talk again? Hey, are you in conflict with him? The atmosphere of your chat with him just now is no problem."


    Aldrich sighed: "I have no conflicts with him, but I am not a friend with him, nor am I interested in being friends with him. If Victoria and he attend any event with him, don¡¯t invite me, I don¡¯t Will appear."


    Melanie frowned, and said loudly: "From what you said, you can clearly see that you are in conflict with him!"


    "Melanie, I¡¯m just going to say it again, the problem is not me and Beckham, it¡¯s Victoria! It¡¯s her playing smart! I won¡¯t be used as a chess piece, she is your friend, I respect her, but if she wants to Continue to gain my respect, please treat me with equal respect!"


    Melanie parked the car on the side of the road, turned around, and said angrily: "What''s wrong with Victoria? She wants to have a meal with us, just like a normal friend. What''s wrong? Would you let me be with my friend? Is it difficult for you to eat?"


    Aldridge sneered: "Is it so simple to eat? Why is it today? Why is it in Liverpool? Why is it that kind of high-end restaurant where there are countless paparazzi squatting at the door? She has her purpose, she is playing smart with herself With you! Beckham still thought silly that he was just in love. If he didn¡¯t have a reputation at Manchester United, he thought Victoria could count on him?"


    Melanie said, frowning hesitantly: "This is normal. Beckham is as famous as her. Victoria chooses him. I don''t think there is anything wrong."


    Aldridge nodded: "I''m not interested in the emotional life of others. Whether Victoria and Beckham have a dime relationship with me. But her approach makes me feel lack of respect. Melanie, she and You are different and different from other babes. I am talking to you about it now, without any prejudice. I just say what I think.


    "Okay, you say, I listen, if you talk nonsense, I won''t treat you lightly."


    Melanie held her arms and stared at the man next to her.


    Aldridge said silently for a moment, "Do you know how the outside world evaluates the Spice Girls?"


    "You just say it, don''t try to mislead me with language skills."


    "Okay, the outside world thinks that the most singless girl in the Spice Girls group is Victoria. I think this evaluation is objective and pertinent. At least, she is never like you and the other three members in singing skills."


    Melanie''s lip could not be refuted.


    This is a fact, which can be judged from the album released by the Spice Girls. There are few Victorian solo songs in the popular songs. Even if there are, there are no characteristics, but the other members are different. Singing characteristics.


    But it cannot be denied that Victoria in the Spice Girls group is not important. Her image and her expressiveness can make the Spice Girls group more distinctive.


    It¡¯s easy to understand that not every member of the orchestra is able to sing and sing. There are some ¡°singing supporting roles¡±, but other ways, such as stage image and performance methods, make the band more popular.


    This is one of the reasons why the babes have become so successful after their debut. They each have their own characteristics, and their nicknames are different. Fans may not like one of them, but may like the other. Their rich image makes them Can get the widest range of resonance and support.


    "She is good at making shows. On stage, at events, she is the best. So, she made the show into life today."


    "What do you mean?"


    Aldridge sighed and said seriously: "I, the manager of Millwall, Beckham, Manchester United''s supernova, you and Victoria, now the most popular women''s band members. The four of us are sitting at a dining table, and I and you, Victoria and Beckham have such a pair, what do you think will be the news tomorrow?"


    Melanie mumbled that she was obviously not very good at thinking about such things: "What news is there for a meal."


    Aldrich extended his finger and said, "One, football news, whether it''s my meeting with Beckham or the background of the Premier League game that just ended, the news derived from it will definitely make the newspapers sell. Second, entertainment news, Me and you, Victoria and Beckham, this hype will of course be a hot topic. Third, what will be the impact? Millwall fans, Manchester United fans will follow, and fans of the Spice Girls will also follow, while Pay close attention, the popularity of the four of us will rise! You will walk into the sight of fans, Beckham and I will also walk into the sight of fans, this is the most classic way of hype with different stars in the field. ! In order to achieve the purpose of increasing mutual popularity."


    This kind of hype is commonplace. Cross-border combinations such as singers and movie stars, sports stars and entertainment stars are very common all over the world. If there is no utilitarian purpose, this combination is definitely impossible. This is the third edition. It''s a truth that girls like to sit next to the Premier League star.


    If most non-European fans watch Beckham, who later became famous, most of them think that Victoria married Beckham because this woman took advantage.


    But fans in England know that if Beckham did not marry a woman named Victoria, he would never become a super popular star.


    why?


    Because the man who made Beckham quickly famous and has many fans, in addition to Manchester United, there is Victoria.


    How many people buy real hot girls'' albums for real money? It''s tens of millions!


    Moreover, when the hot girl group became popular in England, Beckham had not even ushered in the Premier League debut. Now, the hot girl group is already planning to enter the North American market, and the album has caused a sensation in many European countries.


    The attention and popularity that Victoria brought to Beckham, the Premier League commercialized the behind-the-scenes operation of the red star, coupled with Manchester United''s rich background and personal performance, Beckham quickly became an international star, and Victoria, Beckham Mu definitely cannot reach the height of popularity in history.


    Melanie said puzzled: "Even if Victoria is indeed for this purpose, what''s wrong with it? Anyway, you''ve been famous for a long time. What''s the difference?"


    Aldrich stretched his hand on her face, staring at her somewhat panicked eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I am with you, I do not ask what your fame can bring me, if you think like Victoria, I hope that I can help you increase your popularity. I can be sure that we will be good for your career as a star couple, but I will refuse. This will hurt my career and damage my future. I will not appear every day. The news and entertainment page allows people to talk about my topic outside of football. Do you know why? Because football is very simple, there may be players who value fame and fortune, but I always believe that more players are professional and admirable. They What I am after is pure greenery success, and I most admire, admire, and need this type of player most. I will not try to be a star in the field of detached football. When others start to pay attention to my hairstyle, my dress, my life with my girlfriend and singer, what will my image look like in the player''s mind? Am I still not a head coach? Can I still trust the player? How to argue, most people would think that I was distracted by something other than football."


    Melanie''s mouth flattened, her eyes suddenly wet, and her tears slipped face to face.


    She suddenly thought, yes, she is different from Victoria.


    She went from elementary school vocal performance to step by step to today. She has a place in the hot girl group. The important thing is not how she will show.


    Before she became famous, she walked with Aldridge. It is impossible to say how famous Aldridge was at the time, but at least from the family background, she was more like an ugly duckling.


    Aldrich never had a utilitarian purpose in her relationship with her.


    She doesn''t want this relationship to be bad, for show? Go to hell.


    It was at this thought that she suddenly felt that the man in front of her moved her.


    With arms around Aldridge''s neck, she choked with sobs in his ears: "Sorry, I really don''t know how Victoria will arrange this today. Aldridge, won''t you hate me?"


    Aldridge took her face, wiped her tears gently, and said softly: "It has nothing to do with you, everyone has their own choice, I just don¡¯t like being used by others. Can you not cry? Eating and crying are also physical tasks and very tiring."


    Melanie burst into tears and smiled, and immediately touched his face, saying, "Let''s go back to London tomorrow morning and live here today."


    After thinking for a while, Aldridge said: "Andrew said on the phone that he would let me go to his company. I plan to go tomorrow morning, or go back tonight."


    Melanie looked at the time, and there was still some time before the plane. She drove the car to an unmanned back street near the airport. After turning off the lights, she rushed into Aldridge¡¯s arms and kissed his mouth enthusiastically. .


    "What are you doing?"


    "I just can''t help but want to roll sheets with you, we haven''t tried it in the car yet."


    In the afternoon, the blood-washing Manchester United¡¯s excitement factor still did not dissipate in the body, and Aldridge didn¡¯t care so much anymore. He caressed his body tenderly, kissed passionately, and faded her **** lace black panties...


    The two who had slept for more than half an hour on the plane returned to London for dinner, and then went back to Aldridge¡¯s apartment, went straight to the bathroom, sprinkled together under the shower of hot water, and wanted to be angry again. Being ignited, the skin did not separate for a moment, Aldridge took her into the bedroom, and after drilling into the bed, continued to occupy each other indefinitely...

 Chapter 172： Start first

    Early the next morning, Aldridge got up early and gently put Melanie¡¯s arm on his chest aside. He crept down the bed, walked out of the bedroom to close the door, worked out in the gym for 20 minutes, and then After showering, he went downstairs to make breakfast. After eating, he drove to Andrew''s company after leaving a note, and texted him on the way, but the other party did not return and it was estimated that he was still sleeping.


    Andrew''s company is in a business district in West London. He rents an office building. The company''s layout is no different from the ordinary workplace, but his own reception room and office are surprisingly large. The decor of the office is more serious and solemn. The reception room It''s a lot easier. There are bar counters and sofas, as well as stereo TVs, etc. Generally speaking, it feels more comfortable and relaxing.


    Aldrich was taken to the reception room by a beautiful female secretary when he came here. Aldridge said that he was casual. He was not a stranger anyway, but he wanted today''s newspaper.


    Soon, the female secretary returned with a stack of newspapers and placed it on the coffee table in front of the sofa.


    The tabloids were dazzling. Aldridge sat quietly on the sofa and read them one by one. They read very quickly. Most of them glanced away and took aside.


    The mainstream newspaper naturally focused on the Premier League match where Manchester United suffered a bloodbath at home yesterday.


    The title is also shocking.


    Such as "Old Trafford Oblivion", "Red Devil Dynasty Sinking", "Crazy Lion Conquering Dream Theater", "Millwall Champion in Look" and the like.


    It is nothing more than stepping on Manchester United and supporting Millwall.


    Aldrich looked proud, and some tabloids published a news that made him depressed.


    "Manchester United''s new star was convinced by the mad lion commander and came to vote in person!"


    The picture is a picture of Aldridge and Beckham sitting opposite each other in the restaurant, accompanied by two hot girls.


    As a port city, Liverpool has no shortage of news. After the paparazzi get the news, they will not only give it to the old owners, but also sell it among their peers. Anyway, the news will not cover up for long, and this kind of catching news cannot be talked about. Exclusive sensation and the like.


    It''s just that a contributor who gets a piece of ordinary news can write a sensation through an infinitely powerful pen.


    Beckham met Aldridge in Liverpool on the day of the game. What happened? unimportant.


    Anyway, adding a few words to the written news and then speculating can generate appeal.


    "Perhaps I witnessed Hall¡¯s team slaughtering his own team. Beckham already had the idea of ??escaping from Manchester United. The fiasco by Millwall did not make him feel bad. It seems that his heart is gone. Manchester United."


    Over the past year, I have speculated that Audridge and Beckham have conflicting media, but now they think that the two have released their suspicions and even sat together to discuss the future...


    Some newspapers also have this news on the entertainment version. The pictures are basically the same, but the content has changed. What are the golden boys and romantic girls, Aldridge and Beckham will be connected, the ridiculous is that there is still at the end Send a blessing.


    Aldridge couldn''t even laugh.


    Anyway, from now on, Victoria and Beckham will take the initiative to retreat in non-working social situations.


    As for the news, Beckham will be punished by Ferguson. It is not Aldridge''s turn to care.


    Andrew didn''t come to the company until ten o''clock in the morning. After pushing the door, he directly said: "I pack my luggage at home. I will fly to Brazil in the afternoon. Because of the successful transfer of Rivaldo, I met some friends over there. They thought To build a stable relationship network in Europe, I also want to have greater development in South America, so this time I went there to open a brokerage company. Do you have any suggestions?"


    When it comes to business, Andrew doesn''t have any nonsense.


    After thinking for a moment, Aldridge said: "The transfer model in South America and Europe is very different. Anyway, even if you go there to set up a company, try not to show up. The characteristics of South American brokerage companies that control the ownership of players will make the transfer transaction. Complicated, even if you want to run players to Europe, it is best not to get involved in disputes."


    Andrew nodded his head in deep thought, and he felt so incredible when he understood the operation mode of the South American transfer.


    In Europe, player ownership can only be in the hands of the club.


    But in South America, the ownership of players can be in the hands of agents or brokerage companies. Once European teams want to introduce players, the transfer of players becomes complicated, because it is no longer a negotiation between clubs, but with agents or Brokerage company negotiations.


    Complexity is complicated, but the benefits are too great.


    It is commonplace to buy out the ownership of a player with tens of thousands of pounds in places such as Brazil or Argentina, and once this player becomes famous, change hands and sell it, at least it is a profit of millions of pounds, and the benefit is hundreds of thousands Times.


    Andrew beckoned to Audridge and the two left the reception room and turned around to his office.


    In the office, Andrew opened the desk drawer with the key, took out a document from it and handed it to Aldridge, saying: "From the day my company was founded, you asked me to find someone, one of them, finally found it, I I''m curious, this kid was only four years old five years ago, why do you think he is special?"


    Aldridge was shocked and said casually: "You have your network, and I have mine."


    Andrew raised his eyebrows no longer.


    Aldridge sat down to light a cigarette and opened the document calmly. On the first page, he saw the photo posted on the top left corner of the document.


    It is a nine-year-old boy named: Lionel Andres Messi.


    The information contains an introduction about his family situation.


    Aldridge looked at and asked, "How did you find him?"


    Andrew also lighted a cigarette, spit out the smoke lightly and said: "I inserted hundreds of scouts in South America, and there are more than 30 in Argentina. Their main task is to send back all the echelons of the professional clubs in the country, and then at other times. Travel around the country, wherever there is a football team, they go where they go, and collect the same information. This little guy, found in the community team of Rosario, age, characteristics, and name all meet your requirements. Look at your expression, it should be right."


    Aldridge flicked the soot and nodded, "It''s him."


    Fortunately, this kid is not nestled in any backcountry. Rosario is also the second largest city in Argentina.


    Think about it too, if it is a place where the bird does not shit, Barcelona scouts may not be able to find him.


    Aldridge frowned at the sight.


    "Your judgment is that they will not come to Europe?"


    Andrew nodded and said: "Yes, his father is now his coach, and my people told me that this kid is expected to play for Rosario''s local team in the future."


    After thinking about it, Aldridge closed the data and said in a deep voice: "Let your person arrange a medical check over there for him, the one with the highest specifications, and then I will bring him to London."


    Andrew didn''t understand it, frowned, "Physical examination? How to arrange? Someone suddenly wants to give you a medical examination, will you agree? Will only call you a neuropathy!"


    Aldridge sniffed at it and spit out smoke: "You always think you''re smart, but you''re really stupid. Can''t you disguise yourself as the young echelon coach of the Argentine giants? Riverbed, Boca, whatever the hell? Home, put a generous contract in front of them, then, does the physical examination justify it?"


    Andrew turned around in his head and smiled and pointed to Aldridge, scolding: "You are not smart, you are cunning! Of the three brothers, you are the most like dad."


    "Arthur is a rogue, I''m not like him."


    "Haha, let him hear you beating you."


    After the two brothers laughed and chatted for a while, while Aldridge came today, Andrew took out a bunch of collected intelligence and let Aldridge look around.


    Aldridge flipped through the documents quickly, basically after seeing the name and the photo before passing the next one.


    The two chatted casually. Andrew, who didn''t eat breakfast, asked the secretary to pack up a table of takeaways and opened a bottle of good wine.


    His appearance made Aldridge cry and laugh, a table full of takeaways on the street, a bottle of top-notch red wine, like seeing someone eating a food stall with five dollars and one dish, but drinking tens of thousands of Maotai.


    The movement of flipping through the documents suddenly stopped. Aldridge stared at the information sharply. He looked left and right, and finally determined that this person was a person he knew.


    Ha ha ha ha!


    Andrew looked up weirdly, rubbed the salad dressing around his mouth, sipped his wine and moistened his throat and asked, "What are you laughing at?"


    Aldrich took the documents in his hand and threw them in front of the other party, saying, "Get it done. Within two years, I want him to come to Millwall."


    Andrew looked down carefully and wondered: "What a joke, are you crazy? The previous investment in Ronaldinho has not yet been recovered. Here is this set? This guy''s family situation is too complicated. Now, get him here and settle down properly. I estimate at least 4 million pounds. You might as well go buy a famous star directly. This is a wild kid."


    Aldridge smiled on Erlang''s legs without a word, very happy.


    Andrew shouted: "Hey, Audridge, are you awake? This kid named Sergio Lionel KUN Aguero del Castillo has five parents in addition to his parents Brothers and sisters! Grass, I have never seen someone like you. You dig people even if they dig together!"


    Aldridge snapped his fingers and said: "I''m out of money, what are you in a hurry? In short, you bring him to London. The club can provide jobs for his father, continue to be a driver or manage turf. Anyway, there will be A lot of jobs need to be recruited. His brothers and sisters do not require aristocratic schools. The level is not bad. The place to live is simpler. I have eight idle apartments there, and I can give them two."


    Andrew scratched his head and asked Shen Sheng: "Can you tell me the reason? Is your network in play? Why didn''t you say his name before and let me go?"


    Aldrich spread his hands and said: "This child is cute and I like it. I think it is enough for this reason. At least my money is justified. Even if the child proves that I am blind, then I am happy when I help the poor. ."


    The Aguero family of eight lives in the capital''s slums. The monthly income of the whole family is less than 600 pounds. One can imagine how difficult life will be.


    Andrew was very angry and not entangled. Anyway, the three brothers had this character and decided the things that no ten cattle could turn back.


    He asked the secretary to come in to clean up the desktop, and then said: "That line, I will get in touch first when I go to South America this time. In addition, I have a lot of advertising contracts waiting to sign with your players. You express your attitude."


    Aldrich didn¡¯t care: ¡°My request is very simple. I can¡¯t interfere with what the player wants to do during the vacation, but during the season, the player can use their free time to take advertisements and autograph photos. I don¡¯t ask about it without delaying training, but I can¡¯t go anywhere. Fly to participate in commercial activities. Andrew, you have to understand one thing, although most agents only have money in their eyes, wise agents understand that only when the players are in good condition on the court will the player''s value continue to appreciate, if Things outside the court interfere with the player¡¯s status, and in fact it is your loss as an agent."


    Andrew nodded solemnly this time.

 Chapter 173： Prologue to the rise of the Blues

    Monday night is a beer night where coaches can''t move.


    Aldrich enjoyed early in the hotel, because today the team was resting, he accompanied Melanie to go shopping in the afternoon, the weather turned cold, bought a lot of autumn and winter clothes, from a woman''s unique perspective, Melanie did everything she could Able to dress up Aldridge as a fashionable man.


    Snooker lost all two sets in a row with Craig. Aldridge walked down to the bar in Craig''s smug triumph. Jenson and Mullenstein watched the Premier League highlights on TV Discussing the technical characteristics of players in the game, Mullenstin is an expert in this regard. He continually commented on the characteristics of the players'' performance during the goal process, some of which are second to second, but some can be better.


    Moniz drank beer and discussed the tactics with Babutorop. The backgrounds of the two are very different. In the Netherlands, there is a football concept confrontation, so the latter can always refute the former with various theories higher than technology. Moni But I like to use good players to prove the defense, the scene is very lively.


    Aldridge opened a bottle of beer and drank, and found Benitez sitting alone in the distance of the bar, writing and drawing on a small book, occasionally picking up the wine bottle at hand and pouring a sip of wine, and then continued to focus on tactical books on.


    Aldridge walked around and smiled, "What are you doing?"


    In Benitez''s tactical book, he wrote a page and wrote a page, each page is Millwall''s most recent offensive goal routines, it seems that the ever-changing seems to have no rules at all.


    Benitez frowned, saying, "I want to sort out Millwall''s midfield configuration."


    Aldridge grabbed the opponent''s tactical book, turned to a new page, and wrote three names and some numbers in the midfield.


    Makelele: 65 defense, 25 organization, 10 offense.


    Pirlo: 15 defense, 55 organization, 20 offense.


    Nedved: 20 defense, 20 organization, 65 offense.


    Returning the book to the other party, Aldridge smiled: "This is a static general data, which can change elastically with the situation during the game, but one thing is balance, the role of the three people condensed together, will be in Organization, defense, and offense reach full value. Unlike the current midfield organization tactics, the organization and offense of the front waist must be very strong, but the defense is weak. The midfielder is too defensive and puts responsibility on organization All are handed over to the midfielder. The midfielder who has a good pass ability has already begun to play a more important role, like Albertini, Paul Sosa. The outside world is saying that Millwall is making history, in fact all Nonsense, our only creative approach is to allow players to play more roles on the basis of large-scale running, but it is by no means a decathlon, and it must be prioritized."


    Benitez thought thoughtfully: "However, Nedvide withdrew a wide range of defenses to compensate for Pirlo''s defensive weakness, which reduced his threat when he was transferred from defense to offense."


    Aldridge shrugged: "Not necessarily, let''s say that, if Nedved''s starting position in the attack is close to the opponent''s penalty area, then he is easy to be stared to death, it is his speed and physical advantage that makes There are more changes when he advances from back to front. His forward running position will make the defensive player elusive. This also reflects his uniqueness. He has changed others. Even if he is allowed to do so, he will have the heart Powerless. Pirlo''s organization in the midfield, indeed the defense is a short board, but his creativity and overall situation, insight into the situation on the court, I think no one on the team can match him, the skilled players are not There are few players who may choose the best route for the offense. There may be some players whose pass success rate is steadily at 85%, but the pass route may not be the team¡¯s most needed attack. It was time to pass forward. He passed to both sides. Obviously it was a diagonal pass. He passed straight to the middle. The pass was successful, but the threat after the pass fell straight."


    Benitez nodded in agreement, Aldridge touched the wine bottle with him, and fell asleep.


    In the middle of the week, the team will play a League Cup, the opponent is Sunderland trapped in the relegation zone.


    Aldridge sent a large number of young players to play, the team easily passed 2-1 at home, after which the players began to rush to the international arena, and will return to the team after ten days.


    During this period, Aldridge invited the players who stayed in London to dinner, watch a movie, and then let the remaining first team players go to the Leo Youth Training Base to play a few teaching games with the youth team.


    The ten-game winning streak in the team''s league is fast. The large area of ??East London on the south bank of the Thames has become the world of Millwall. The fans are enthusiastic. Even if the first team has not played, they will come to the youth training base to watch the youth team. Training and competition.


    Najib is still meticulous. Last season, a few of the youth team''s seedlings were sent to the first team, and the seamless connection with the first team did very well. This is closely related to the tactical philosophy of the team from top to bottom.


    Many clubs have well-known youth training camps, but there are many rookie players who have made their own blood, but they can¡¯t make it in the first team or can only go far away. In addition to the fierce competition in the big teams, there are also youth teams and first team There are contradictory factors in the tactical system, so in this regard, the reason why Ajax and later Barcelona became the youth training leaders is all related to this. Ajax is fully attacked and defended. Barcelona¡¯s Tiki-Taka, whenever he is young When the training and the first team tactics fit best, geniuses continue to emerge.


    Now the player who picks the girders in the youth team is Ronaldinho. At the age of 16, he is omnipotent on the court and is the most shining star of Leo''s youth training base.


    Najib always had a headache for Ronaldinho. He repeatedly found Aldridge and consulted Ronaldinho for suggestions.


    Ronaldinho''s versatility prevented him from being fixed in one position.


    Playing as a winger, Ronaldinho breaks through the sharpness and is so good.


    In the front waist position, Ronaldinho also created good organizational skills.


    According to the tactics of the first team, if Ronaldinho is to focus on the organization in the future, Ronaldinho will compete with Pirlo. Putting Ronaldinho in the midfield position will waste his talent for scoring, because Organizing an offensive in this position must suppress his talent, otherwise, once he loses the ball, the defense against Millwall''s backcourt will be fatal.


    Let him go to the midfielder or winger, the ability is no problem, but it will reduce his holding time accordingly, because the focus of the offensive is on the area behind him.


    Aldrich¡¯s advice to Najib is: Don¡¯t limit Ronaldinho¡¯s area of ??movement, but roughly, let him play freely in the left-wing and front midfield area.


    At the same time, he told Najib a player''s tactical changes: transposition.


    No player on the court is absolutely fixed in a certain area, only the ability to limit the problem exists.


    Millwall''s current tactics have become stable, which has allowed their power to explode, but there is no peak in Aldridge''s ideal tactics. On this endless pursuit path, player ability and team understanding will make The fighting power is completely sublimated.


    Larson and Shevchenko have already begun to try to change left and right wingers in training, but due to Trezeguet¡¯s ability, he can only be fixed at the center position. If he pulls him, the offensive effect will be very low. Ideally, the threat has plummeted. At the same time, although Nedved began to release his offensive ability when Pirlo focused on organizational responsibility, he is still far from reaching the limit. When the next tactical "change period" of the offensive comes, It will be a more elaborate pursuit. Ronaldinho is a very important member of Aldrich''s plan.


    After the FIFA game day, the players returned to the team. Before Aldridge came to the training ground, everyone was already doing stretching and warming-up exercises, and their mentality was very relaxed.


    After the arrival of Aldridge, the players stood together, waiting for a routine exercise by a fitness coach.


    "Bernde, after the training, go to the reception room on the first floor of the hotel. After two days of your birthday, the fans sent a lot of gifts, which are all there, you remember to take it away. In addition, say a birthday in advance. happy."


    The players heard that each of them wished Schneider ahead of time, and Schneider smiled slightly shyly.


    The club will receive a lot of gifts every three to five, most of them are birthday gifts sent by the fans collectively. Even if some players celebrate their birthdays during the June and July holidays, the fans will either give them in advance or make up for them in the new season. Will pull out a banner to write blessing words in the game.


    Because I have just experienced FIFA match day, the team''s training is relatively easy, mainly focusing on recovery.


    The weekend league is going to challenge Blackburn away. The Premier League champions more than a year ago are now declining. Hiller¡¯s departure to St. James¡¯ Park is just a prelude. The mercenary corps that was built by the heavy money was in a state of disintegration.


    Millwall is in good shape. The most important thing is that the players have a better mentality. They are confident and calm. After losing their last season''s defeat, they have gained valuable experience and their mentality has gradually matured and stabilized.


    And this season, Aldridge is also comfortable with the rhythm of the rotation of the team. In addition to the fact that some young players are too nervous at the opening of the new season to show fear, they are also becoming more mature and at least not frightened.


    After winning Blackburn 3-1, Millwall came to 11 games in a row, and Manchester United won the victory at the home with Arsenal defender Winterborn¡¯s oolong gift 1:0. It cannot be said that the momentum of recovery Obviously, but at least stabilized the downward trend, and the gap with Millwall has not been continued to widen.


    As in the previous two months, throughout November, Millwall ended with a victory record. Newcastle United, Leeds United, Everton were successively cut down, and Millwall had already led the points when it entered December Liverpool, second on the list, has 15 points, and Liverpool is only one point ahead of Manchester United.


    December is a month that Aldridge doesn¡¯t like, because the Premier League is going to drive fast. Before Christmas, Millwall has two important London derby games to fight. The first game is at Stamford Bridge, and the second game is in The Lion''s Cave Stadium meets the Hammer Gang


    In the new season, Glenn Hoddle is the coach of the New England national team. Gullit took off his jersey and put on his sportswear. Then he took over as the blues Chelsea. This summer, Chelsea invested a lot and strengthened the third line. The core of Di Matteo, the siege of Viali and Zola.


    From this season, Chelsea officially entered a period of rapid development to fully catch up with the gap between the giants. Gullit''s coaching style is biased towards **** football. This has also caused Stamford Bridge to attract attention from the outside world. At least their record is more obvious than the previous seasons. The rising trend of the outside world is very optimistic that Chelsea has become a new powerful force in London under the leadership of Gullit.


    In this context, Millwall, who has set a record of 14 consecutive victories, is like a proud lion stepping into Stamford Bridge.

 Chapter 174： Handsome strategist

    A year ago, Aldridge commented that Gullit had reached the end of his career in an interview, and despised the pursuit of him on Fleet Street, causing Chelsea fans to be dissatisfied.


    But Gullit also really played for Chelsea for a season. Chelsea''s rankings were almost unchanged from the previous season, and even fell into the second half. After Gullit took office, the media naturally started to provoke the two.


    In terms of professional age, Gullit and Aldridge are both less handsome. Aldrich was two years earlier than he was on the job, and he has achieved little success. Well, Gullit, the cards under his hands are not the best, but they are not Poor, and the results are passable, but compared with Millwall''s three-month victory, it is no longer in the same grade.


    Millwall fans still dismissed Chelsea, humiliated Chelsea as much as they could, and came to the stadium stand of arrogant enemies.


    Aldrich has reduced the frequency of sparring battles since this season, because the team is the leader, and the turbulence is the only way to reduce the risk of internal and external internal forces. No one has taken the initiative to provoke him.


    Manchester United is in a crucial stage of reorganization. The Champions League is about to usher in the final group game of life and death. If Ferguson is clear-headed, he should let the team prepare for the low-key and avoid becoming the focus of increasing pressure.


    Although Wenger was airborne in North London, he was also busy remodeling the arsenal. He was also in the process of getting familiar with England. If the reporter didn''t trouble him, he would burn high incense and thank goodness.


    Liverpool¡¯s Roy Evans has always been Audridge¡¯s defeat, so how can the defeated be brave? He went to war with Aldridge to get his own shame.


    Kevin Keegan, who was kicked off by Millwall last season, was in dire straits and bought Hiller, but the defense was still a mess. His days at St. James''s Park Stadium had already begun to get worse.


    The number one rival, West Ham United, entered the relegation state at the beginning of the league. Lao Lei will only provoke war unless he is crazy. He only asks Aldridge to be merciful before the start of the East London Derby this season. Amitabha.


    As for Gullit, he is a superstar among the players and the gravel of the coaching profession. Before he proves himself, he dare not speak out against Aldridge without hesitation.


    In this chaotic and troublesome autumn of the Premier League, each family has its own troubles. No one wants to jump out and provoke Millwall. Most of them have no strength. A small part of them are afraid of being beaten. If Manchester United and Liverpool have a small difference in points, One point, perhaps the psychological battle has already begun, but unfortunately their own team is also stormy.


    Aldridge did not want to comment on Chelsea at the pre-match press conference. When asked, he said perfunctoryly three words: average.


    attack?


    so so.


    Defense?


    so so.


    Is the football style sexy?


    so so.


    Gullit?


    so so.


    Di Matteo?


    so so.


    Viali?


    so so¡­¡­


    Chelsea is in a "general" ranking. The number of goals scored and the number of goals conceded are also at the "general" level.


    Aldrich thought his evaluation was pertinent, but after being misinterpreted, it became contempt.


    Gullit''s response did not dare to go too far: "Hall''s coaching results are indeed excellent, but he should have some respect for Chelsea. How can my players not get him to judge."


    If it wasn''t for the reporter to ask, Aldridge was too lazy to say it.


    Besides, he felt that he had enough respect for Chelsea.


    Our two are dead enemies!


    I don''t step on you but respect.


    Stamford Bridge, sunny and beautiful.


    Aldridge appeared in front of the visiting team''s coach seat, looked around and chose to sit down.


    Gullit also sat down with the coaching staff in sportswear.


    Players from both sides started playing.


    When the narrator introduced the starting lineup of the two sides, a song rang from the stands.


    Most of the slightly quiet stands were mostly fans of the Blues, and there were fewer than 4,000 fans of the Lions here today.


    But they gathered in the visiting team stands, Brady fans led by Brady deployed before the game, and began to sing loudly here.


    Aldridge looked at the stands of the visiting team fans, where a variety of cheering slogans gathered, which is quite common.


    But what is the song they sing in unison?


    Aldridge frowned slightly and listened to the obscene songs in that song. Was he **** too vulgar?


    The fans in the stands usually humiliate each other, and it is normal to compose songs.


    But they also have a bottom line with each other. Fans who don¡¯t keep the bottom line will hurt the club. For example, Bolton fans made a plane crash when they played with Manchester United after the Munich crash, which directly made Bolton a target. The Premier League team played They are particularly active and even make it difficult for them to sign players.


    The song that Millwall fans sang today was really awkward.


    What makes Aldrich puzzled is that the lyrics have nothing to do with Chelsea.


    Are you shameless rogues coming to Stamford Bridge?


    He didn''t notice that Gullit''s expression next door was gloomy and his mouth moved, as if he was grinding his teeth.


    Both Materazzi and Zambrotta on the bench laughed.


    Aldridge saw the expressions of the two players and asked, "What are you laughing at?"


    Materazzi pointed to the visiting team''s stand, and Zambrotta also raised his eyebrows.


    "What do you mean? What''s so funny about this?"


    A dirty song, Aldridge didn''t think there was a laugh.


    Materazzi shouted with a smile: "Boss, this song was sung by Chelsea coach Mr. Gullit before."


    Aldridge''s expression was stunned. This vulgar **** song was sung by the handsome braid next door?


    Materazzi continued to laugh: "A few years ago, he joined an influential band and performed many such songs with bassist. At one time in Italy, everyone thought he was sick, what was the name of that album? I forgot."


    "Called "RevelationTime"."


    Zambrotta added immediately.


    Aldridge laughed like other coaches covering his head.


    Yan Cai''s wild braid is handsome, really different, really cool.


    This explains the truth. Dare to Millwall fans today directly humiliated each other''s coach.


    Aldridge looked at Chelsea''s starting lineup after laughing.


    Although Gullit has two major strikers, Vialli and Zola, in the Chelsea lineup, it is a veteran who can''t strike a strike on the front line. Last year''s Welsh king Mark Hughes, he partnered Vialli today.


    The core of the midfield organization is Di Matteo, with Chelsea spiritual leader Wise, and the addition of Lebov on the back line has strengthened the defense of this team.


    Although Chelsea''s international column building route was later than Millwall, but somehow they also pulled out a team to get fame and fame. It is by no means comparable to the World Garbage United of West Ham United.


    But the 11 players can play well together, and they have to see the game.


    At the start of the game, the two sides immediately opened the posture, and the pace of the game was very fast from the first second.


    Chelsea''s strength has increased this year. The new coach took office. The players are motivated. There are tough guys and stars in the team. They will naturally not be afraid of Millwall, who has won 14 straight games in the league. Come on!


    After the opening, Chelsea''s oppressive play made Millwall really uncomfortable. After all, it was the opponent''s home field. The players entered the state slower than the home team. This is normal.


    At the beginning of the game, the scene was very stale.


    Under the pressure of Wise and Di Matteo, Pirlo''s organization was very unsmooth. Occasionally, the ball penetrated from the middle and the ball was cleared by the scavenger Lerberf. The movement looked a bit big, but the fans on the stands liked it. The sound of cheering came one after another.


    Twenty minutes into the opening, Millwall hardly had a good chance.


    But Chelsea did not take advantage of it. Di Matteo, who worked in the midfield with technical work, was not ideal to play under the double line between Nedved and Pirlo. The route of the ball was always predicted, even if it was defensive technology. Schneider, who is hone, is also able to resolve the opponent''s penetration through the observation of the situation on the right field.


    Benitez said to Audridge: "Pirlo did not perform well today."


    "He was scared by Wise. It was a cunning bad boy."


    "Let Nedved retreat?"


    "No, I wanted to see if he could adjust it himself. It seems that he needs to mention it."


    Aldridge got up from his seat, just when Viali was knocked down by Stam during the fight and needed a team doctor to check the injury, so he called Pirlo to the front.


    "Andrea, for ten minutes, the offense all hits the left, and after ten minutes, it hits the right. Do you understand?"


    Pirlo asked in a rather unclear way: "What if there is no good route on the left?"


    "Do what I said, and you will understand in ten minutes."


    Pirlo nodded and asked no more, and began to execute Aldrich''s instructions.


    Millwall has more control of the ball, and although Chelsea is robbing fiercely, the formation is not chaotic, so Pirlo''s previous shots were all towards the front of Nedved, because the space is slightly larger, and because the opponent has Le Bofu, who is good at playing scavengers, exists, but he is not afraid of the infiltration ball in front of the penalty area.


    As Pirlo''s midfield commander, he began to frequent the left, which made Millwall''s offense lean to the left, and Chelsea''s defensive formation naturally began to compress to this side.


    Capdevila, Larson, and Nedved, under the command of Pirlo, Millwall stormed the left and played a wave of efficient attacks.


    It is a pity that several shots are within a minute of the goal.


    Ten minutes later, Pirlo understood Aldridge''s intentions.


    Originally the formation on the field was balanced, Pirlo would only look for the empty space in the static space.


    However, when Millwall''s offense focus is frequently concentrated on one side, the opponent will automatically adjust because of the disadvantage. Inadvertently, the defensive loophole on the other side appears.


    In the thirty-sixth minute of the first half, Pirlo appeared again to the left of the midfield and took the ball. Chelsea''s defensive formation was set, obviously a posture of staring to this side.


    Pirlo had an oblique long pass on the spot, unexpectedly passing the ball to the right front side.


    Schneider, who has been playing forward for the past two years, is already familiar with Millwall''s offensive set. After the appearance of the current space, he rushed forward with ease, and the combination of passing and running was in place.


    Stopping the ball steadily in front of him, Schneider picked up the pass, Shevchenko was unmarked on the edge of the penalty area, took the ball a step forward and then took a shot. The ball was drilled into the goal against the ground. Far angle.


    The previous wave of offensives ended without a hit, and Pirlo felt a little weak himself. He thought how good the opponent''s defense was. In fact, he had not yet discovered his potential!


    Looking at the teammates in front of him to celebrate, Pirlo smiled. Although he still needs more practice to improve himself, he has already begun to enjoy the role he plays in the team. It feels awesome!

 Chapter 175： Eyed by the giants

    After scoring a goal, Millwall played more calmly.


    Aldridge got up several times during this game and came to the side of the court to command Pirlor, and the instructions given to him were all tactical changes.


    Pirlo is creative and has a global perspective, but he still lacks in rhythm control and offense regulation.


    Playing in his position, passing is only a basic skill. There are many accurate players with short passes and long passes. However, it is difficult to rely on the pass alone. The deeper invisible qualities are ordinary players and excellent players, even the world. The gap between the first-class players is reflected.


    Pirlo, who has been promoted to the main position this season, is naturally grateful to the young handsome, but this game, Odric has made several points, which made him completely convinced!


    How to attack in the attack, how to use the pressure of the deep offensive to cover the back player, how to let the opponent return without success when the opposing counterattack is fierce...


    Just looking at Pirlo''s style of play on the court, he was still not slow, but he provided Millwall with firepower support in an unhurried manner, making Millwall''s offensive wave higher than wave after wave.


    "Martin, Hall is carefully cultivating that Italian guy. At the beginning of the season, I said that Hall was risky with this Italian because he was not gorgeous in playing and the defense was worrying, especially when he was not fast. In addition to the good basic passing skills, I don¡¯t see any special qualities from him, but in Millwall¡¯s crazy streak this time, this Italian guy has grown up quickly, you see, Pirlo kicked today The ball is still in that rhythm. I thought he would lose his magic when he was familiar with his opponents, but through Hall¡¯s continuous communication with him on the sidelines, it seemed that the game was treated as training. Pirlo made Millwall¡¯s offense more abundant. It is no exaggeration to say that Pirlo directed Millwall''s attack, but Chelsea could only be passively beaten."


    "I agree with you. He makes Millwall''s offense more confusing, he moves from left to right, from front to back, but I am more concerned that if he is in other teams, he may not be able to play like this. The strength clearly shows that Millwall¡¯s players are very well-coordinated, they can play an overall smooth football, and their personal abilities are undoubted. Oh, Chelsea counterattack, Lebov clears the ball, Di Matteo takes the ball Turned and took a step, a wrong step! Nedved took the ball from the back for the first time, the ball returned to Pirlo''s feet, a long pass! There is no defensive player next to Trezeguet, he takes the ball laterally, yes Do you shoot? Ingeniously through the ribs of the penalty area, Larson! Right foot shot! The goal scored! Four to zero! Millwall scored another goal in the 85th minute of the second half, they completely destroyed Chelsea, Lar Sen Mei scored twice, how many goals did he score this year?"


    "For the league only, from January this year to today, he has scored 34 goals, plus the cup, 41 terrible!"


    Aldridge applauded from the sidelines, then gave a thumbs up, then returned to the coach seat and sat down.


    Fans in the stands of Stamford Bridge began to retreat, originally thought it would be a wonderful matchup, but Chelsea and Millwall are obviously not in the same level.


    Their strikers are so busy, Di Matteo has lost his previous magic, and even their shots are only 4 feet.


    Millwall''s football has formed absolute dominance on the field.


    Conquering Stamford Bridge four to zero, Aldridge continued to demonstrate the strength of his London civil war hegemony.


    After a quick handshake with Gullit after the game, he turned and left. Aldridge appeared calm in the interview and had a temperament of being arrogant.


    Millwall, who made a 15-game winning streak, not only shocked the whole of England, but also made the European continent eye-catching!


    The Times¡¯ next day¡¯s headline was: ¡°Millwall: Record of five consecutive league games! "The most terrifying streak in Europe is the 29-game winning streak that Benfica created 25 years ago.


    But in the five major leagues, the current record holder is Real Madrid, and that record, 35 years ago, is also a 15-game winning streak.


    For the entire European continent, the unknown Millwall created a 15-game winning streak to tie Real Madrid in the Premier League, which immediately attracted widespread attention.


    After the six-ball bloodbath Manchester United game, the first-tier clubs of the mainstream leagues have sent scouts to inspect Millwall players on the spot.


    why?


    Because Millwall sounds like a star springboard club.


    In the case where Ajax was quickly cornered and several consecutive stars were taken away for free in the summer, it is now a crazy period for big clubs to grab people.


    In order to deal with the chaos of the transfer market brought about by Bosman''s law, FIFA has also begun to brew new transfer rules, especially transfer transactions between clubs in different countries.


    Millwall is steadily terrible. After adapting to the Premier League in the new season, Aldridge''s players'' psychological quality has been strengthened, and the pressure resistance has also been sublimated in the big scene.


    "Who will stop Millwall? ¡·


    The Star is calling on the Premier League to have a team that can end Millwall¡¯s winning streak, otherwise, the Premier League may end in January.


    When Tottenham returned to North London painfully with a score of 1:4 at the Lion''s Cave Stadium, the British media exclaimed that a new streak record for the five major leagues was born.


    16 straight!


    Aldridge cheered for his players, but before he was too happy, new troubles appeared.


    "AC Milan wants to take Nedved and Larsen!"


    "Inter Milan took a fancy to Larson!"


    "Juventus..."


    The top three of Italy''s Northern Italy have all taken on Millwall''s players, and the invitation letter from AC Milan to the players has burst out of Milan City.


    Moratti, who had just taken over Inter Milan last year, was very sincere. After learning that Aldridge could speak Italian, he directly consulted players about the possibility of transfer through the phone.


    Moratti wanted too many people. He even wanted to take Millwall''s attacking fours off the court.


    Because he is eager to revive Inter Milan, especially to see the collapse of the dynasty of AC Milan, the rival city this season.


    Money is not the focus of negotiations.


    Moratti''s even direct price is very sincere.


    But Aldridge talked to him for a long time, saying that he would not sell any players.


    Not so polite to AC Milan.


    Before the opening of the League Cup in the middle of the week, Aldridge was repeatedly mentioned in the press conference about the transfer of players. He was a little impatient, so when the reporters finished asking him one by one, everyone''s eyes were on. Holding him, Aldridge slowly opened his face without expression.


    "A year and a half ago, I remember that the Italian media was laughing at Millwall. I recommended the Italian players in the team to the youth echelon of the Italian national team. This is not my obligation, but I did this for the Italian national team. Focusing on training players, I also hope that my players can gloriously wear the national team jersey, even if it is the U18 echelon. However, the Italian media is sneering. I still remember the news at the time: Where is Millwall? Now, Some of their clubs want my players, do we think we are beggars? Throwing olive branches through the media, even the inquiry is not faxed to the club, yes, I am talking about AC Milan, you have glory, you have countless champions, You are noble and magnificent giants in the football world. Although our small village of Millwall is humble, but we are kind and brave! You think that if you throw a bone or two on the ground, my player will run over and pick it up like a dog Then beg you to beg for pity? Haha, our little village''s answer is only one word: no."


    There was an uproar in the audience, the camera lights flickered, and Aldridge stood up and left with a cold face.


    Each line has its own rules.


    Inter Milan personally called in person to negotiate privately. Although Juventus¡¯ Mogi secretly contacted Andrew, he also sent a fax to ask for a price in any case. Only AC Milan didn¡¯t have anything, so he talked directly through the media. What players such as Nedved, Larson, etc. should go to San Siro to play, that is the player''s highest glory.


    Other teams, Real Madrid and Bayern, have also inquired about the transfer possibilities of several players, but everyone is well-behaved.


    Maybe the Milan dynasty gave AC Milan too much superiority, or maybe Millwall was looked down on, but Aldridge couldn¡¯t accept it, he didn¡¯t care about the outside world and didn¡¯t follow the rules to play this game, we have nothing in common Language, he is the owner and coach of Millwall, and he deeply understands that dignity is more important than money!


    AC Milan''s Vice President Galliani was a messed up player. He also studied the transaction of Thuram''s transfer to Palma in the summer. It is not difficult to understand some behind-the-scenes operations in the Italian circle. He knows that Thuram wants to transfer. ''S personal will was released by the club, but the price was a bit high. Galliani, who always spends a small amount of money to do big things, naturally cannot accept too high a quotation. Therefore, he wants to seduce the players first and let the players'' personal will influence the club''s decision .


    Who makes the present post-Bosman rule era, the player''s voice in the transfer skyrocketed!


    But he regretted it now. He did not expect that Aldridge was a stunned young man. Yes, he felt that Aldridge acted impulsively and offended the giants as soon as he opened his mouth. Such a person could not be easily mixed up in this circle.


    However, he did not do things on his own, so he had to relax his relationship with Millwall in private.


    He is a player who really wants Millwall.


    Last year, AC Milan, who was a Serie A champion, was a disaster for the new season. The operation on the summer transfer market was still talked about at the time, but after half a season, I will review Galiani¡¯s summer transfer. Will work, Dugari, Davis, Reziger, Bromqvist, etc., can not be described as poor in general, just look at Milan¡¯s poor record and player transcripts and know that there is almost no one that can make Milan fans Praised as a good deal, and most of these players are destined to become Milan''s haste.


    Galliani tried his best to restore his relationship with Millwall and still had illusions about the winter transfer window.


    After Aldridge left with a cold face at the press conference, Millwall lost the next day''s League Cup.


    It''s not that Millwall did not perform well, and it would have been better to score off the bench for training.


    And Aldridge met an excellent head coach opponent: Martin O''Neill.


    The city of Leicester he led was a newly promoted horse. After adapting to the pace of the Premier League, this newly promoted horse is getting better and better in the league. Martin O¡¯Neill studied with Brian Crawford and became conservative after becoming familiar with the Premier League. The defensive counterattack of the doctrine, and in the counterattack does not continue the British long pass, but the ground pass to cut the side raid, simple and practical, and the efficiency is good.


    Originally he coached the small team, the player is at that level, it is not wrong to play conservatively, Aldridge sent the bench and fell in the League Cup quarter-finals.


    After the game, he and O¡¯Neal sat together and had a great conversation, but O¡¯Neal also had the idea of ??playing Millwall players, but not to buy, but to rent.


    He wants to rent a speed player like Glenn Charles, and he will definitely fight back with one accuracy.


    But Aldridge declined politely. He still hopes that the players will grow in his own tactical system. Moreover, this season must play a lot. The substitute players cannot run at least 20 games.

 Chapter 176： Shelling the Golden Globe

    Rumors about the transfer in the winter were skyrocketing, Aldridge was still calm, but the fans couldn''t sit still.


    The day after the League Cup, Aldridge worked during the day, and when he returned home at night, he found that a large number of fans wearing Millwall jerseys gathered in the community where the apartment was located, and raised a banner that read: Pavel, Henrik, here is your eternal home!


    At the forefront of the fans are Brady and Fred, who stare up at an apartment.


    There was Nedved''s home, and Larson''s home was right next to it.


    Aldrich has always returned early in the morning and returned late. After the club training, he will still deal with some other official duties before returning home.


    The BMW stopped on the side of the road and looked at the snake-like crowd. They also knew the size and did not block the road.


    Aldridge dropped the window, but at first glance saw a teenager standing behind Brady.


    "David, why don''t you go home here?"


    Huluwa Villaang straightened his head and said with confidence: "I don''t want Pavel and Henrik to leave here either. They are heroes and our idols."


    Now that the English speech was smooth, the voice of Villa fell, and the surrounding fans nodded together.


    Some fans found that Aldridge was in the car. In fact, he was very low-key in his life. Unlike other club presidents or bosses, he drove a striking luxury car. His BMW car at a glance did not have a high-end car at all. After all, the car Lamborghini, who is a bit old and parked in the garage, will only go for a ride when he occasionally indulges.


    "Mr. Hall, please stay with them!"


    "Yes, the club should increase their salary!"


    "Yeah, Henrik is better than Hiller, he deserves better treatment."


    "The summer club sold so many good players and made a lot of money."


    ...


    As the fans said more and more, Aldridge felt depressed.


    He didn¡¯t worry about his salary. It¡¯s just that the team¡¯s internal state is very stable. Everyone is fighting in the rhythm of a winning streak. When they talk about money suddenly, it¡¯s the second best. It mainly disperses the player¡¯s energy and raises a player. Salary, what about other players? Especially the main players, everyone is ordinary people, and their eyes are very normal. After all, Audridge promotes teamwork, and there is no reason to be unreasonable.


    Aldridge stepped off the car and said to Brady and Fred: "I promise no one will leave Millwall in the winter, you don¡¯t want to be around here, it will be counterproductive if you make trouble, as if you are threatening my players. ."


    Brady replied with a straight chest: "We are quiet here and not troublesome. We just show our attitude. We want to make the players understand that our support is from the heart."


    Aldridge felt that the other party was a little unreasonable, and said with a heavy heart: "You can express your love. I can understand it, but most of you are here, and most of them are big five big three. Rest, is it okay?"


    When Aldridge negotiated with these fans, two men walked out of the two apartments next to each other. It seemed that they were in good agreement.


    After Nedved and Larson showed up, these fans were a little bit excited. After cheering, some people applauded, some shouted their names, and some bluntly asked them to stay, do not accept any The temptation of the club.


    Aldrich turned around and walked in front of the two, said in a deep voice: "Pavel, Henrik, they are not malicious, you must not misunderstand."


    Millwall¡¯s fans are notorious, and coupled with the riots after two back-to-back East London derby last year, Aldridge was afraid that players would be disgusted by the environment and get distracted.


    Nedved and Larson raised their smiles and shook their heads. Then Nedved stood in front of the fans and said quietly: "I will not leave here unless the boss sells me."


    Larson shrugged and smiled, "I''m just like him."


    When the fans heard the two promises in person, a burst of cheers broke out!


    There were even female fans who were rushing to hug the two, but Brady and Fred were stopped.


    What a joke, this is at the door of someone else''s house, both of them are married, maybe his wife is staring at the window.


    Finally, Chrysostom promised to stay, and a few beautiful women gathered to hug, hug, and wipe the oil to kiss, and the two stars returned to their wives¡¯ pillows, and everything was done.


    However, the other fans really climbed up the rod, and immediately asked the two to take a group photo together and ask for an autograph.


    Seeing this scene, Aldridge was determined.


    With a smile in the mouth, pull the car door to do it, and drive home.


    As long as the two main forces that break the table in the new season as long as they do not leave the team, Aldridge will sit back and relax.


    However, he was angered by another incident two days later.


    At the end of this year, "French Football" announced the top three votes for Mr. European Football. The first place is the European Cup champions Summerer, the second place is Ronaldo with a difference of one vote, and the third place is Alan Shearer.


    At the press conference site before the start of the weekend''s league, a reporter asked about it and asked Aldridge''s opinion, and his face became a little cold.


    "Let me say? Anyway, I don¡¯t understand the selection rules of the Golden Globe Awards. That is, a group of journalists voted. They seem to represent the whole world. Is it fair? Why did Summer get the Golden Globe Award? Because he scored How much? No, because he led Germany to the European Cup. So why is Ronaldo second? What title did he have in the past year? Spanish Super Cup? Bronze medal in the Olympic Games? What achievements does Hiller have? Premier League gold boots and European boots? Okay, I¡¯m more confused. On honor, Nedved won two cup championships in 1996, one league runner-up and one European cup runner-up. On the number of goals, Larsson scored all year The number has surpassed Hiller, and it is more than Ronaldo. Do you need to count the number of assists? Ha ha, Golden Globe? Just to please the fans. Are Ronaldo and Hiller excellent? Excellent, they are perfect forwards, especially Ronaldo''s performance in the past four months has quickly made him the focus of Europe and the world. However, football is a **** 11-person team sport. It is a sport of unity and cooperation for collective honor. If the Golden Ball Award To be awarded to the person who scored the most goals and scored better, why didn¡¯t Bati give Weiah last year?"


    The scene was silent for a moment, and the reporters did not expect that Audridge would suddenly bombard the Golden Globe Awards.


    The question just now was asked by a reporter casually. When writing related news, he added Audridge¡¯s comments. They just wanted to hear Audridge¡¯s evaluation of these three players, but they didn¡¯t expect to get such awesome news. This left them unresponsive for a while.


    After a brief silence, the reporters all raised their hands frantically, shouting various questions.


    If Aldridge is just a regular fan, whoever wins the Golden Ball is his business, and whoever loves and wins, let¡¯s just watch our game.


    But as the coach carefully thought about the influence and winning factors of the Golden Globes, he had to take it seriously.


    In all fairness, Summer and Hiller both performed well and scored well in the competition, and the European media still have to worry about the influence of the European Cup.


    Ronaldo is on the list and will become a world footballer in half a month. In fact, there are many factors.


    Definitely not entirely dependent on his personal performance.


    At least in the first half of 1996, Ronaldo spent most of his time recovering from injury. After his comeback, there was also a locker room scandal in Eindhoven. He joined Barcelona in mid-August and had a phenomenal stadium performance.


    There are hardly any achievements in the team''s honor book. Are the Olympic men''s bronze medals?


    The first is because of the stage, Ronaldo plays for the European giants Barcelona, ??and the attention received is naturally top.


    The second is the advent of the digital TV era. The broadcast of the game happens to be in an era of rapid propagation. With the first factor, the rise of Ronaldo produced a shocking influence on communication and quickly became a super idol.


    Aldridge also appreciates Ronaldo, especially when he worked **** various defensive actions of defenders to improve his personal skills during rehabilitation. The aliens known as extraordinary textbooks are not only relying on talent, if not because of His current identity, he will never bombard the Golden Globe Awards.


    Golden Globe Award, Mr. World Football, how many players dream of a lifetime?


    But Millwall does not have a rich background. Whether it is the Golden Globe Award or Mr. World Football, from the last few, how many non-great stars can touch these two awards?


    Aldrich must stand up and discuss his players. The main purpose is to buy the hearts of the people. This kind of hearts must be bought, otherwise it is difficult to ensure that the players will not join the giants for the highest personal honor. Although it may not be effective, he does not work hard. About?


    But anyway, as Millwall''s coach, does he want to congratulate Ronaldo and Hiller?


    If they really have the championship title, Aldridge absolutely congratulates, but Millwall has performed well this year. He has no reason not to say a word for his disciples.


    The reporters on the stage were like sharks smelling the **** smell.


    "Mr. Hall, do you mean that the Golden Globe Awards are shady?"


    "No, I just think that this is a victory for media communication, and it does not represent the correct values ??of football."


    "What are your so-called football values?"


    "We have always said that football is a team sport, and it is widely claimed that the collective is higher than the individual. Then, team honor is of course a measure of a team. If a player is considered to be the best player of the year, he cannot help the ball. The team won the honor. Why is he considered the best player?"


    "Are you predicting that Ronaldo and Hiller will not help the team get any honors?"


    "I didn¡¯t say that, but the Golden Globe Awards are not the stars of the future. I think the selection rules should be more specific, instead of focusing on team honors this year and individual performance next year, as long as a mediocre player is not selected. The explanation can be explained. This is unfair to the players, especially my players."


    "But your team has not won the most important championship, league, European court honors, neither of you."


    "Sorry, neither Ronaldo nor Hiller. But my team, Millwall, has a better record than Barcelona in the last four months. My team has lost only two games in the entire 96-year league. , Only lost four games in all competitions, we rewritten the five major league winning streak records, did you know? Maybe it¡¯s just that Nedved¡¯s style is concise and tough and not gorgeous enough to be ignored, but I want to tell you that I don¡¯t care if you I care about the performance of my players. Each of my players is the best. Our football philosophy is also the best. Our players play for the team because they understand that playing for the team is playing for themselves. We It will win everything. As for the Golden Globe Awards voted by the media, as you like, you are chasing more personal players on the court, but forget that football is a team sport."


    "There is news that Ronaldo will be the best player of the year in the "Football World" selection. What do you think?"


    "Inflammation is a plus plus a magazine that likes to tout British players. They rarely have their own unique views, but they only deceive themselves to raise the status of British players in football. In this way, "Football World" will only fade out of people''s vision because it is neither authoritative nor Persuasive."


    ...

 Chapter 177： Grab fans

    The news that Aldridge shelled the Golden Globe Awards unfairly became the hottest topic in England.


    Originally, the public opinion community just needs the confrontation of sharp opinions. If it is flowers and applause on one side, what does it mean?


    There is no controversy, and there is no authoritative body to criticize it, but listening to different voices, the detonation of public opinion confrontation is what the press needs most.


    It''s just that Audridge''s words offend some people, especially those who like La Liga fans and those who like Ronaldo and Hiller.


    But there are also solidarity with him. A few months ago, the Brazilian coach Zagalo said mercilessly: Personally, I hate the media''s praise and hype. It is ridiculous for a big club like Barcelona to put all the responsibilities on the shoulders of a 20-year-old man.


    Then he criticized bluntly: if he is always floating, there is no benefit. He still does not understand the importance and significance of teamwork. Although Ronaldo can certainly become one of the great players in the history of football, Bailey was more comprehensive than him when he was 20 years old.


    Many celebrities and ball critics also use a rational point of view to support Aldridge when commenting on the Golden Globe Awards on the show.


    Their argument is not whether Ronaldo and Hiller have the strength and whether they will succeed in the future. No one denies that if he continues to play well, he will definitely become a great star.


    But in a year that can be called nothing, such a player won the second and third place in the Golden Globe Awards. Ronaldo also nearly tried to push Summerl to the golden ball throne, which seems too ridiculous.


    Where is the reason?


    It''s because he scored many goals, and the goals were good.


    The BBC specially compiled the goal highlights of Ronaldo and Hiller in the past year, and compared the goal highlights of Larsson and Nedved.


    It came to a conclusion: Larsson scored the most goals, Nedved played comprehensively as a midfielder, scoring assists and doubles 20+, but Ronaldo''s goal is best seen, if Hiller does not have the European Cup golden boots, I am afraid There is no possibility to even enter the list.


    Most of Millwall¡¯s goals came from teamwork¡¯s fatal blow. Occasionally, several individual performance goals did not have the sense of shock. Players like Larson only need one action in the penalty area to shake the angle. Then complete the goal score, and Ronaldo has a variety of long-distance rushing through the human body, the perfect combination of body technology, dazzling movements, smart get rid of, fast speed, the aliens that are fast are obviously more likely to be sought after by the outside world.


    It is often said that football is a team sport, but the heroic complex in people''s hearts seems to never disappear.


    Aldridge returned to the club to hold a high-level meeting. The selection of the Golden Globe Award made him aware of a very serious problem.


    That is, no matter how well Millwall performs, it always gives people a feeling of being difficult to enter the room.


    After all, they are used to it. In the preconceived impression of the outside world, foreign media say that Millwall is a village, and there is no concern for Millwall except for England.


    Specifically, if AC Milan achieved a five-game winning streak and a six-game winning streak, then it will immediately become the focus of all of Europe. Barcelona Ronaldo scored a beautiful goal and became the lens of repeated broadcasts by media platforms in various countries, and Millwall achieved After a ten-game winning streak, there was a slight eye effect. When the fifteen-game winning streak tied Real Madrid, it completely entered the sight of all Europe. Moreover, the outside world was followed by doubts, thinking that the Premier League is not competitive In this way, Mill Wall Howe won a 16-game winning streak.


    From the perspective of this time, the Premier League is indeed not in the top five leagues. The decline in the European War in recent years makes it difficult to look at the Premier League. Last year, Black out of the group stage became a laughing stock. This year is a good year. A little bit, Manchester United thrilled from the group stage thrillingly, this is still thanks to Juventus who made early advancement for not putting water in the final round to kill Manchester United.


    Aldrich realized: This is not only an era of robbing genius, but also an era of robbing fans!


    The rapid development of television relay technology and the promotion and operation of business models are at this time the most advantageous stage for the club to commercialize and seize the market.


    This is not only due to the success in the arena, but also to bombard the fans'' nerves through media dissemination and propaganda. Whoever can step into the eyes of more fans first will get the most impact.


    All the senior members of the club were present, Aldridge was sitting at the long table, listening to Adam''s market development report.


    In the past two years, Millwall, with East London as the center, quickly radiated the surrounding area and exerted influence. Last season¡¯s two championships and one Asian record have also won them the favor of a large number of neutral fans. From the increase in sponsors Come to this point.


    However, there are many factors restricting Millwall. The first is their stadium. The capacity is small. Neutral fans want to see the ball and cannot buy tickets. The image of the stadium itself does not conform to the image of a strong team.


    Millwall is located in the southeast of London. The surrounding environment is not as modern and prosperous as Stamford Bridge or Highbury. The most important thing is that their influence must be successful in the European War if they want to go out of England.


    In this season''s European Cup of Winners, Millwall has reached the quarterfinals, but their game is not watched at all. It is like playing against the Swiss team of Sion in the second round. If Aldridge is a foreign neutral fan, Not interested in.


    Millwall vs Sion?


    The quarterfinal draw against opponents is also unattractive.


    Bran of Northern Europe.


    The European Winners Cup tickets at Wembley sold well, with an average attendance of around 50,000, but many fans expressed some disappointment because many fans wanted to see Nedved, Larsen, Trey Star players such as Zeguet debut, rather than watching Fannie, Glenn Charles, Phillips, Lampard and other players.


    Adam''s report shows that Millwall''s influence is increasing day by day, through the sales of jerseys, the number of fans, the enthusiasm for ticket rushing, the news exposure rate and so on.


    But Aldridge felt it was not enough, far from it.


    He does not demand a step in the sky, but at least he must realize that it is the beginning of a golden age of business communication.


    "Establish a new department dedicated to the brand promotion of Millwall. Commercial operation, Adam you continue to work hard. In addition, I mention two projects, you will improve the plan and implement it. First, establish a Millwall ''S official TV station, 24 hours of TV broadcasts related to Millwall, game highlights, player interviews, team training, the club produced the most eye-catching game show, anyway, to allow fans to love Millwall, understand Millwall Second, the establishment of the official website of Millwall, and the addition of website advertisements in the stadium, through TV broadcasts, can make fans from all over the world interested in landing on our website, but also can open up sales channels and sell our souvenirs, Fan organizations can also be included in the content of the website. The content of the website includes news, publicity, and interaction, so that fans can register as members and maintain regular email publicity. In short, we must be at the forefront of the trend, not just staring at the past promotion. Mode."


    Aldrich''s words made the participants look at each other, someone asked: "Boss, we set up a TV station, but we don''t have the right to broadcast."


    Aldrich replied: "We don''t broadcast, we just broadcast our past wonderful games, you can organize some classic games, or interview some fans, celebrities, or you can make a player''s performance throughout the season, I For example, take Nedved as an example. He came to Millwall in the summer of 1994. No one knew who he was at that time. Fans were also doubting his ability. At the beginning, his role in the team was not obvious. , But he grew up gradually, and through two seasons of hard work, he became a team star. You can use the fragments of the past games to show you, and create an inspiring inner spirit, and we can also promote our Football values, through the youth training base, winning the 1996 FA Youth Cup is a good material. In 1995, the record of the Premier League was promoted, the glory of last season, this season''s winning streak, not all can be used for promotion ?"


    Everyone nodded their heads to understand the promotion idea of ??this TV station.


    "What about this official website? I mean, should we open the website like the British Treasury and listen to the fans?"


    The Internet developed rapidly in the 1990s, but it is still a new thing. After all, it is based on hardware conditions. Governments of various countries have successively established official websites, and their role is not obvious, but it is a manifestation of advancing with the times.


    Aldrich said patiently: "We can publish the latest news on the official website, so that fans who follow us can use the website as one of the channels for obtaining reliable information, such as which player we renew the contract with, the player transfers, and the player is injured. , Where are the teams going to play, what activities do the teams have, discounts on tickets, where do players go for charity events, what awards do players receive, interview records, excellent photos of photographs, and forums can also be set up on the website to allow Fans can discuss Millwall and establish a platform to communicate with fan organizations, such as Adam, who is in charge of transfer negotiations, can elaborate on our recruitment policy, team building philosophy, including views on players¡¯ prospects, or Open a dedicated section for each player in the team to allow fans to express their support. They can also discuss the performance of players, score each game, and organize activities regularly, even if it is an agreed time to talk to me and players, as long as The parties agree that this is fine. The Internet is the most important media platform in the future. We must firmly grasp this trend and let other media must pay attention to our official website and publish some important news on the website, which forces other media. You have to come to our website, and when Millwall fans in other countries have accumulated a certain number, you can cooperate to establish foreign fan sites, and so on. Anyway, you have to use your brains to sell as many ways as possible. Millwall Club."


    Aldrich''s remarks opened the eyes of the people present. Most of them felt that Aldridge was a savvy businessman and an excellent coach, but did not expect him to have such whimsy.


    The current Internet technology is innovating every year, and the development momentum is very rapid. For example, the upcoming streaming media era will also further promote the Internet to enter thousands of households, causing the rapid increase of Internet users.


    Aldrich just wanted them to broaden their thinking, not just stare at one-third of an acre in the UK, and put it in the past. It was really difficult to make propaganda abroad. It was really difficult to rely on either the European War or foreign stars, but the emergence of the Internet It is to make the sense of distance from reality become more and more blurred. If Millwall has a poor background and does not seize such an opportunity, when the future market matures, he would like to share a slice of soup. .

 Chapter 178： One year, different

    The **** Christmas express came again.


    Compared with the intensive schedule of the 46th league of the previous year and the rhythm of the main cup last year, since the new season, from August to December, the main players in the team have got a good shift, and their energy is mainly placed in the league, maintaining an average The game density of a Monday game.


    The League Cup stopped the quarter-finals, the European Cup Winners'' Cup entered the quarter-finals, Millwall will then usher in the FA Cup.


    Aldridge is worried that players will get bored with the game psychologically, so he intends to give the main players a good rest during Christmas.


    Now he is also adjusting the game plan. The league advantage in the new season is huge. He wants to take a look at the European Cup Winners¡¯ Cup and the FA Cup. The former is the second most influential cup in the European War, and the latter is the most traditional in England. The most important cup game is that Millwall is still the defending champion.


    The players also know that at this stage, Millwall''s rotation plan will be adjusted.


    This is not due to competitive factors, but psychological factors, when exactly can adapt, Aldridge does not know.


    However, the players told him this time.


    Thursday¡¯s training ended early. Aldrich processed documents in the office. Before the winter transfer window opened, many clubs sent quotations. Although he made up his mind not to sell people, he still had to take a look at the quotation conditions. OK, in case there is really a good offer, it is necessary for him to adjust the conditions for the player renewal plan.


    Nedved knocked on the door for the first time and came in. The other party opened the door straight away: "Boss, I don''t need a holiday. In the past two years, I have fully adapted to the pace of the game here."


    Larson, Trezeguet, Schneider, Makelele and other players also came in one after another to say that they did not need a holiday.


    Especially for forward players, they are in a fierce state of goal. Although the number of goals is not concentrated on a player, they are enjoying the game, scoring their own goals, helping their teammates to score, and letting them enjoy every minute of the game.


    Players are fighting, Aldridge doesn''t like to win, but some players still take the initiative to give the holiday, such as Pirlo and Capdevila.


    As Christmas fell, the East London Derby battle resumed.


    When Millwall re-emerged as a newly promoted in East London, no one thought that just a year later, the hammer club that had suppressed the mad lion for more than half a century had fallen into such an awkward situation: the top of the Millwall points list , The hammer group lasts fifth.


    The first game of the derby this season started at the Lion''s Cave Stadium.


    In view of the impact of the frequent riots last season, the FA and the police vigorously rectified. This year''s East London Derby was much quieter outside the venue. There were fewer fans fighting for the time and place, and there would not be frequent scenes of fans on the streets. .


    But in the stadium, the hot atmosphere has not changed at all.


    Fans of the crazy lion held a variety of slogans to humiliate the Hammer Gang. Fans of the two teams sang their slogans and screamed.


    In the bleached stands, the fanatic fans waved their arms with grimace. Aldrich was standing on the sidelines and could not understand what was arguing in the stands. Anyway, it was words such as insulting and mocking each other.


    Redknapp put his hands in his jacket pockets and stared blankly at the situation on the field. It wasn''t that he was stupid, but he was just like that, his small eyes made people look unrecognizable.


    The Hammer Gang struggled with the relegation corps at the beginning of the new season. The record was good and bad, and occasionally left the relegation zone and fell back after two days.


    Coming to the Lion''s Cave Stadium today, the Hammer Gang is fighting fiercely on the field, and the tactical intention is also very clear: keep it! Swing the bus!


    Millwall replaced Pirlo with Barak, and Zambrotta replaced Capdevila.


    Although the personnel change is not large, Millwall''s offensive is generally dominant, but it always seems to feel that something is missing.


    creativity!


    That''s right, it''s creativity.


    Both Barak and Lampard are able to sort out the midfield, and the short and long passes are also satisfactory, but they are always more than tough, lack of dexterity, and organizational ability, but with Pirlo silently heard thunder There are still gaps in the performance.


    Crazy Lion fans laughed at the Hammer Gang: You are a group of turtles, only know the defense, not even a player dare to walk through the half!


    The narrators felt that they were in a state of disappointment. This game was more like a melee fight in the restricted area of ??West Ham United. Most of the players were gathered in the restricted area.


    "Maybe Redknapp can stop Millwall''s winning streak. Although this way makes people feel nothing to be proud of, from a spiritual level, it may be a victory for West Ham United."


    "According to West Ham United''s play, I don''t want to win or lose. If football develops like this, it will be over."


    "What can Redknapp do? He doesn''t use this team-wide back defense intensive defense strategy, then he will most likely go home with failure. This is a derby between rivals, whether it is the standings or Face, Lao Lei can''t afford to lose."


    "Alas, at the end of the first half, the score was 0:0. Millwall''s 17-foot shot in the first half failed to return. Except for the 8-foot shot that was directly blocked by the opponent''s body, only Barack was one foot away. Shooting on the goalpost is quite threatening."


    When the midfielder walked into the locker room, Aldridge saw the players sitting there complaining about their opponents.


    "They don''t want to win at all!"


    Trezeguet said angrily that he had been guarded by back-and-forth shots. He got a shot in the first half and hit him, making him very angry.


    "There is no room for inward cutting, there are people everywhere."


    "Grass, it was disgusting not to know who pinched my **** when he kicked the corner just now."


    Barak''s words made everyone stunned for a moment, and then they were all amused.


    After laughing, Nedved looked up at Aldridge and asked, "Boss, how long do you shoot in the second half?"


    In the first half, they also shot a lot of long-range shots, and the effect was unsatisfactory. The opponent did a good job in the penalty area today.


    Aldridge wrote and painted on the tactical board, then pointed to the bottom line and said: "The full-backs strengthen the deep attack, the two left and right wingers do not blindly cut in, maintain a sense of distance and hierarchy, and involve the opponent''s formation. I will play in the second half Change to Luther, you replace Yap, and David is in front of each other."


    He explained some tactics, relying on two wings to stretch the offensive in the attack, maximizing the opponent''s defensive formation, and adding a center inside the penalty area. Behind them, the top corner of the penalty area is two wingers. Outside the penalty area are Barak and the inside. Dewey, let the offensive players use the level to cut the opponent''s defense. Once the opponent misses a certain link, there are Millwall players at every point.


    "You can make more moves on the wing to break through the opponent, but in the penalty area, if you don''t have the chance to shoot, you can also try to control the ball first and change the rhythm suddenly to make the opponent make mistakes."


    The players listened attentively, remembering where they should appear in the second half of the offense. Although this is not a dead requirement and players can be flexible, the general tactical requirements must be kept in mind.


    Sometimes a goal is not produced solely by the initiator, assistor, and goalkeeper. The teammates who have not encountered the ball play a vital role in how to position and involve, and these are The audience watching the ball doesn''t care.


    The players returned to the field in the second half, and Aldridge sat down directly on the coach seat after the substitution.


    "Hall decided to make a substitution at halftime. He replaced vanny Stroud with center defender Stam. There is nothing to discuss about this substitution. Stam and Southgate stay in the second half. The field is a waste, Stam rushed to the forward in the first half, but unfortunately he can''t provide more help besides grabbing the header. Now we are replaced with a Zhengyin center to strengthen the attack, let us look at Hall Will the substitutions be effective."


    At the beginning of the second half, West Ham United shrunk in the backcourt. On Millwall''s side, almost only Southgate stayed in the second half. Makelele wandered around the middle circle to guard against opponents'' counterattacks. Two full-backs Zambro Both Tower and Schneider crossed the center line, taking turns to look forward to assists.


    If Millwall''s offensive formation in the frontcourt is meticulously described, he will become a double-center forward in the penalty area. The bilateral forward on the side of the big penalty area will be centered, and the double center in the penalty area will form a siege.


    Aldrich sits calmly. It is a worldwide problem for a strong team to break through intensive defense. He is not afraid of attacking. A counterattack like Chelsea will do. It will give Millwall an offensive space, but he is afraid of this ironic defense. Opponents, because the opponent''s defense is mostly static and dense, the penetration space is compressed to the limit, the striker''s impact advantage is reduced to a minimum, especially the speed advantage is also stifled.


    The stalemate of the game continues, but Millwall''s advantage is getting bigger and bigger. Although the players of the Hammer Gang are defensive, their defense is not impenetrable. Occasional mistakes require a partner to assist. tension.


    Twenty minutes later, Aldridge replaced Marklele with Lampard again.


    Makelele''s replacement was also quite understandable. He had nothing to do with it. He rushed up. The crowd was too crowded. Nedved returned to him and made a ball. As a result, he kicked and flew to the stands.


    Although Lampard is still young, at least his long-range ability is better than that of Makelele. However, when Oddridge sent Lampard, he still told him not to attack too much. There are enough people in front of him. Good thing, players should always maintain a reasonable position distance and formation system, otherwise it is really retro to play 127 tactics.


    Millwall frequently used the full-backs to pull West Ham''s defensive formation. This pull-and-play strategy is similar to Manchester United''s wings, except that the pendulum swings sideways. , Allowing the opponent''s defense line to move back and forth and back and forth to create an empty space.


    Passing from time to time and knocking back in front of the penalty area stimulated the nerves of the fans in the stands.


    Fanny''s threat of grabbing points suddenly increased after he went on the court. He even missed a close shot and was blocked by the opponent''s defender on the goal line.


    In the seventy-ninth minute of the game, Millwall''s chance finally came.


    Nedvide responded to the back-passing pass and kept the ball directly to Larson on the left. The latter took the ball and made a fake move forward. In fact, the ball did not move in place, but West Han The defensive players of the United team are highly nervous, confused by his movements, and also moved backwards. After being cheated, the entire defensive line is pushed forward again. It is the rhythm change between this movement and their defense. There was a flaw in the line, Larsson passed the ball between the defender''s legs in front of him, Zambrotta countered offside and immediately made a cross, with Fannie in the middle of the road in Trezeguet to reduce the cover In order to overcome the pressure, he shoveled the ball forward and sent the ball into the goal.


    The ball rolled into the gate against the inside of the goal post, the scene was boiling, and the players ran wild and celebrated like a long time.


    Aldridge couldn''t see how the ball got in from the coach''s seat. He could only see the general process.


    But when he saw the goal was effective, he rushed out immediately, his fists clenched and waved a smile.


    Redknapp was flushed with rage and kicked the billboard on the sidelines.


    And Aldridge made adjustments soon, using Elgra to replace goalkeeper Trezeguet, so that the team''s formation returned to balance.


    Before he kept changing into offensive players, he was actually attracting snakes out of the hole, but Lao Lei was not fooled. Now, no matter what Lai Lei thinks, he is not afraid of the other party attacking anyway, at least the defensive system will not have problems.

 Chapter 179： Record freeze

    In the East London derby of the first leg of the league this season, Millwall won with a small victory.


    Law and order is the focus after the game. Although there are conflicts between the fans outside the stadium, the scale is difficult to compare with last year.


    West Ham United was criticized by the media for its incompleteness. The Sun used a picture to describe the game.


    The content of the picture is on a boxing ring. The mighty and tall side is wearing a Millwall jersey and mercilessly thumps in front of the opponent who can only hold his head in the corner of the ring. The opponent is naturally wearing West Ham United''s jersey.


    At the end of December, Millwall finished the first 20 rounds of the Premier League and achieved an impressive record of 18 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, which was even more shocking than Newcastle United, who went crazy in the first half of last season.


    And they are creating new history every day. The league winning streak record, the away streak record, the home streak record has not been broken, but according to their momentum, it should not be a problem, especially at the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium. Although Aldridge remained unbeaten at home for two years and was broken at the beginning of the season, no one would doubt that the current Lions Stadium is the devil¡¯s home.


    After 20 rounds, Millwall scored 55 points, leading Manchester United by 18 points.


    The Times lamented: The Premier League champion suspense has disappeared. Millwall, who has won the half-time champion, can be crowned the Premier League champion in advance. Only the team left in the Premier League suspense is relegated, and which team is competing for the first. Two Champions League tickets, it looks like Manchester United, Liverpool, Newcastle United, Arsenal four teams have opportunities, and Hall and his team can watch them fight leisurely with a glass of wine.


    UEFA is forced by the European giants to chase the interests of the European war. It is rumored that the European giants conspired to establish a new European top-level league to ensure the maximum benefit. Under this background, UEFA made concessions and began The UEFA Champions League has been further reformed. From next season, not only can the national league champions enter the Champions League, and according to the European War Points, the league runners-up are also eligible to enter the stage of this championship feast.


    Stimulated by the interests of the European War and the maturity of the broadcast mechanism, the "arms race" of the European giants has intensified since last summer, and it has never been out of control.


    Manchester United and Barcelona bid for Ronaldo in the same period in the same period, both bidding 20 million US dollars. As a result, Ronaldo chose Barcelona. In the winter, it was rumored that Manchester United made a bid for Barcelona, ??or 20 million. However, the currency was changed to pounds. At the same time, Inter Milan, Lazio and other Serie A clubs have also started chasing aliens.


    Sometimes the battle in the transfer market is full of drama. If Manchester United can ruthlessly defeat Barcelona in the personal treatment half a year ago, so as to seduce Ronaldo, the final result is really difficult to say.


    The previous chase of Larson and Trezeguet had the same problem. I have to say that in this era, although the major clubs in the transfer market have invested heavily, it is really distressing to spend money, and there are too many factors to consider, such as the ball Team salary system, player team status, etc.


    Aldrich guessed that it was because Ferguson repeatedly hit a wall during this period, which led Manchester United to recruit generously in the next few years. Almost all of the players were introduced by gambling, although some players bought at a high price remained forever. Manchester United''s parallel list history, but most of the signings are still commendable and have indispensable significance to Manchester United.


    In this way of gambling, many clubs are emulating because of their desires, and some have succeeded, and some have directly caused the team''s debts to fall into bankruptcy...


    Millwall''s winter is a bit lively, and the European giants are asking about the core transfer price of the team.


    The most chased are Nedved, Larson, Trezeguet, and others such as Schneider, Stam, and Makelele have no lack of seducers, even the main substitute Barack and the German ball The team made contact, and many teams in the Bundesliga wanted to take him back, but some of the offers really made Aldridge feel insulted.


    Bayern Munich made a quotation of tens of millions of marks, which is equivalent to less than one and a half million pounds. Aldrich was too lazy to return, not to mention the training fee. The salary bonus and other investment he put in Barack The material cost is more than one million pounds. Moreover, although Barak is not as amazing as Pirlo¡¯s creativity, he is unmatched in comprehensive ability. Pirlo is still young. In the tactical changes, Barack¡¯s role is very obvious. Aldrich cannot let go.


    In the new year, the cold East London street is relatively clean, but the temperature in the bar is not reduced, Aldridge has become a hero in East London, regardless of the age of men and women will give him a friendly admiration attitude.


    In the bar, he didn''t have to pay a penny or Sander to pay for it. Fans who saw Aldridge in the bar would ask him for a drink.


    Playing table tennis and smoking, Aldridge and Ewen stood together and watched Brady play, and the two chatted casually.


    "You seem to be graduating this year."


    "Yes, I am looking for a job recently."


    "Well, is it difficult?"


    "It''s not difficult, there were invitations from several companies, because I studied IT majors, and now I need this kind of talent, but some companies are too far away, and some companies are not satisfied with their working hours."


    "Oh, once you have no work experience, and secondly, there is no human relationship. You are quite picky. You have a wonderful job with your job search."


    Yi Wenmei glared at him and said with a lip: "I''m worried that I don''t have time to watch the ball."


    "Watching the game is more important than work?"


    Aldridge thinks this child has a tendency to be unemployed


    Yiwen raised his head to meditate and frowned, "Yes, thank you very much."


    "What does it have to do with me?"


    "You forgot, we invested in your eldest brother, the capital is still yours, anyway, you can live without working hard."


    Aldridge turned his head to stare at her, and his expression was a little dull.


    Yi Wen saw him like this, hitting his rib with his elbow, Aldridge took a step back and rubbed his rib with a wry smile: "I have a strong sense of guilt."


    Yiwen smiled and asked: "Why?"


    "Because of my good intentions, my friends may be turned into a waste that is not enterprising."


    Yiwen shoved him fiercely and said with a fierce eye: "You''re a waste, hum, wait, it will surprise you."


    Aldrich didn''t even think about what she meant by surprise, picked up a beer and took a sip, then leaned over to Ewen and asked in a low voice, "What about them?"


    To be honest, although Aldridge has known them for more than ten years, he has some taboos on some topics.


    To put it bluntly, he was worried that his family background and career achievements would create a sense of distance between them.


    Of course, Ivan knew what Aldridge was asking, and said lightly: "They built a football-themed website."


    After thinking for a while, Aldridge asked, "Where did they get the money? It''s a lot of money to build a website and invite people."


    "Their employees are the classmates I introduced, and the wages are not high. They are rich, not just him. Many people here ask you to drink, half of them thank you for making money."


    Aldridge looked blank.


    Yiwen likes to look at his expression the most, and he couldn''t help but laugh out loud several times.


    Because in her heart, the Aldridge, who had always been a child since childhood and had no fear of heaven and earth, seemed to have everything in mind, and there were not many opportunities for him to reveal such a daze.


    "What do you mean?"


    "Uh, it''s very simple. Millwall won the game. They won money. No one is a professional gambler. They are also happy to win a meal. In the past year, everyone here has made a lot of money. Before the new season, Many people have bought Millwall to win the Premier League championship, and they will be able to collect money in a few months. What is your drink?"


    Aldridge''s expression became very exciting. He looked down at the beer in his hand, and the taste seemed to have changed.


    I thought he was embraced and mixed with free beer. Many people who dared to thank him for turning Millwall into a cash cow.


    Of course, this is just a joke under a relaxed state of mind. In London, there are betting companies in the streets and betting stations. The attitude of the people towards gambling is quite sensible. If your favorite team has the right to be entertained, ordinary people will not use this thing as a shortcut to get rich.


    His Hall family started with gambling, and their mentality was naturally very peaceful. However, at the current wealth level of his family, they are far away from gambling. Once they enter the game, they will involve more funds. The operation mode behind this industry, Audric I don''t understand, but he understands that gaming companies, like other industries, have invisible hands. Secondly, his identity also tries to prevent him from directly contacting the gaming company with money. If the sponsorship fee is to be discussed separately, but if he uses his own money to bet with the gaming company, it will inevitably have other effects, although it is forbidden for industry personnel to get involved in the gaming circle. The regulations have not yet been introduced.


    "Well, a football-themed website is very good. It will be developed into a portal website in the future, and it is also good to be a football media."


    Aldridge sighed with emotion from his heart.


    At this time gold is everywhere, depending on whether you can seize the opportunity.


    Do your best and make a fortune is not a problem.


    Yi Wen smiled and stared at Aldridge''s beer bottle and said, "Did you just want to throw away the bottle?"


    Aldridge scoffed and said, "Heart of a villain."


    "Hehehehe, this is what you admit."


    The slim girl smiled beautifully, passing by a dizzy guest who accidentally bumped into her, and Yiwen fell forward. Aldrich''s eyes quickly hugged her waist and stabilized her body.


    The passer-by was drunk and did not look back, and continued to walk towards the bathroom.


    Aldridge glanced at the man and withdrew his gaze, suddenly realizing that he was embracing Wenxiang nephrite and Yiwen''s intoxicating fragrance penetrated into his nose.


    "Wow, wow, if you care about my girl, it doesn''t matter if you are white or black."


    This scene happened to be seen by Brady and Fred, and the two buddies sang in tacit understanding.


    Aldridge hurriedly released his hand, then turned his head and smiled at Brady: "When will you be a bit more mature?"


    Ewen looked at Aldridge, who was going to play pool with Fred, somehow his heart rate was so fast that he couldn''t stop it.


    ...


    After the New Year, Aldridge''s team immediately suffered a draw, and the winning streak was frozen in 18 games.


    Because Aldridge intends to impact the other two cup championships in the second half of the season, the FA Cup and the European Cup Winners'' Cup.


    If the advantage of leading by nearly 20 points will be reversed, then Aldridge has nothing to say.


    This year the team lineup is stronger, and many substitute players are playing better and better on the field, but there is still a lot of room for improvement. On the basis of the soul of a successful tactical system, they can ensure that even if they are not so amazing. The record will not fall forever.


    It''s just that there are two players that make Aldridge feel a headache. Two forwards, Phillips and Tony, both have the idea of ??leaving the team.

 Chapter 180： Millwalls signature

    In the second game after entering the New Year, the third round of the FA Cup, Millwall went to the away to challenge the weaker Port of Virg. With the goals of Fanny and Glenshire, Millwall''s soldiers took the victory and moved to the next stage. wheel.


    The next day after returning to London, Phillips and Andrew came to Aldridge''s office.


    Seeing the two come together, Aldridge understood what was happening.


    Phillips was a substitute from the first day he came to the team. Two and a half years later, he is still a substitute, but he is 24 years old in half a year.


    Putting it on other teams may not be a big deal, but his strength is advancing by leaps and bounds, and he is older than many forwards in the team, but his forward rank has been counted down.


    It¡¯s not that Aldridge didn¡¯t give him a chance, but his performance on the court was unsatisfactory. In the first season, Millwall played 442. One of his double forwards performed well. Last season, Millwall¡¯s tactics Switching between 442 and 4231, he still can only play one of the double forwards.


    Let him play a single arrow, then the team''s tactical system must surround him to create opportunities for him, other teammates attract defense through running position, and after he gets the ball, he will take a shot if he has the chance.


    Playing 433 this season, Aldridge let him try the lower winger, the effect is very bad, he is different from Larson and Shevchenko after the response to see the right time to insert the penalty area, he will instinctively rely on the middle of the field , Squeezing the center''s active area.


    Is Phillips good as a striker? Excellent, can you score? Can score!


    But he was increasingly out of tune with Millwall.


    This is probably the typical conflict between team tactics and player characteristics.


    It has nothing to do with Phillips'' personal ability.


    Because of the scarcity of playing opportunities, in the first half of the season, he stayed in the reserve team and scored 23 goals in 12 games. This performance made the media marvel: Phillips was a waste in Millwall!


    Phillips himself also felt that his life in Millwall was more difficult, because the gap between him and his teammates was getting bigger and bigger, and he could not play together on the football field. It seems that everyone''s thinking is not in a world.


    When his teammates worked hard to create opportunities and waited for him to play a role of tandem or cover, he directly chose to end the offense by himself. Teammates with better positions and better opportunities are helpless, which hinders the qualifications of the team. For this reason, they can only keep their complaints in their stomachs.


    After discussing with Andrew, Phillips decided to showdown with Aldridge.


    The atmosphere in the office is relatively harmonious. Phillips was brought back from the regional league team by Audridge. Phillips also admired the young coach. If the young coach and the magic make him show his grand intentions in Millwall, then He would never leave.


    But Aldridge is not a god, probably because of his age when Phillips came to the team, the playing habits have been difficult to change, it is very difficult to transform, and it is possible to abolish him if the change is not good. Aldridge has always been When he is used as an adventurer, or when he trains a young lineup, he puts the team on the defensive, Phillips rushes ahead, and the effect has always been passable.


    In the face of Phillips, the two sides did not tear their faces apart, but communicated calmly.


    Aldrich patiently analyzed his playing characteristics, his position on the field, the most threatening area, what tactical environment he needs to stand on, and so on.


    Phillips is more like a pure shooter, like Owen, but this pure shooter player is not the mainstream of the future football forward template, so in the British 442, Phillips is more suitable for one tall one short One of the strikers needs a partner to cover him, and he plays the killer role.


    After Aldrich patiently analyzed it, he said to him with earnestness: "Kevin, you want to leave, I can understand, I also think that with your strength, you can act as a main shooter in other clubs and stay in Millwall , Will delay your future, but I hope that you can follow my arrangements in the transfer, I can promise you that I will not try to sell you to the club with the highest price, but send you to the most A club suitable for your professional development, I don¡¯t want you to go to a team that is not suitable for your characteristics, and then cause you to sink there."


    Phillips was so moved that he nodded solemnly and agreed to come down.


    In any case, Aldridge¡¯s approach is for his own good. As for personal treatment after the transfer, Andrew should go to help him, and the transfer fee has nothing to do with him.


    Aldrich''s behavior seemed to be a little careless about eating salty carrots.


    Well, if the player transfers, he will leave. What else does it have to do with you?


    Moreover, the transfer fee should not be too high. Isn''t this a brain influx?


    On the contrary, Aldridge believes that every player who leaves and transfers has something to do with him, and Millwall has a great relationship, not just the transfer fee.


    Like the four players who left last summer, in addition to Pire¡¯s poor situation in Arsenal, the other three players have performed well, which directly affects Millwall¡¯s signboard. They are all from Mill. Wall''s out player.


    Thuram may have become famous in Ligue 1 long ago.


    The excellent performances of Solskjaer and Vieira have brought Millwall to cultivate color.


    Aldridge needs Millwall to cultivate the image of an elite, and he needs a good reputation. Just like Ajax, people will not only think of this as a top Dutch club, but also think of it when they hear this name. : This is a hotbed for the birth of genius.


    Therefore, for each transfer, he can''t just stare at the transfer fee, leaving the players here, he should also worry about the continuation of his career.


    If Phillips does not perform well after leaving, he will definitely be labeled as a parallel import. If he performs well, it will naturally benefit Millwall''s reputation.


    Phillips will not leave in the winter because of the thickness of the lineup. At the same time, he also wants to leave with the title of the championship. Even if he is not the main force, this season''s Millwall four-line battle, the game density is greater than last season, the second half The rotation will be more frequent, and when the time comes to deal with injuries and suspensions, he will have more opportunities than in the first half of the season.


    Compared to Phillips, Tony is in a dazed state, and Audridge wants him to be restless.


    On the training ground preparing for the weekend league, Tony and Aldridge communicate on the sidelines.


    He told Aldridge about the problems he encountered.


    He has scored many goals in the youth team and the reserve team, but his performances in the first team''s several appearances are far less impressive than Fanny.


    Because he has a fatal shortcoming: speed.


    Millwall played very fast on offense, rolling the ball with three passes and two turnovers. He served as the center. If he pulls out of the penalty area to respond, then he often rushes into the penalty area one shot slower.


    He can¡¯t keep up with the rhythm of his teammates, like Larson and Shevchenko, all of which are rushing into the penalty area, and the threatening ball of the deadly pass appears on the field between electro-optical flint, Tony The speed can''t keep up, it can''t be copied, and missed opportunities.


    He works very hard, both coaches and teammates can see, but the speed thing is not a hard increase in training.


    Fortunately, Tony is under 20 years old, Aldrich patiently told him: When your talents restrict you to play, then you need to use your brain to play football harder than others.


    Are you calling him stupid?


    Of course not. Aldrich explained to him in detail, let him calmly observe the situation on the field, and make up for the shortcoming of speed with a more reasonable running position.


    Players who use their brains to play football are more promising. Some players are in good health, but like headless flies on the court, they run a lot of distance, but most of them are useless.


    What''s more, Tony''s physical advantage allows him to become a strong center in the penalty area. When Millwall plays a tough battle, Tony will play a huge role, but this is also his limitation. You are counting on him to retreat to interfere with the opponent''s attack or sports. It''s too unrealistic for China to move forward from outside the penalty area and cooperate with teammates. He just has to be at the forefront, either to complete the last blow or to be a bridgehead.


    Tony accepted Aldrich''s suggestion: first, play football with his brain, and second, sharpen his foot skills.


    He has the ability to take the ball in the penalty area, but whether shooting or playing, he still needs to further improve the ability to handle the ball.


    On the weekend, sitting at the Lion''s Cave Stadium, Millwall ushered in an old opponent, also a fan in the eyes of the boy: Liverpool.


    In a year and a half, Aldridge led his team to face Liverpool four times, three times in the league and one in the FA Cup final, leaving Millwall fans with very good memories, and Liverpool must have left in history Millwall''s name.


    At 0:8, the memory of the fiasco was still fresh. At the beginning of the new season, Millwall defeated their revenge with a 4:2 at Anfield.


    The outside world did not understand very much, even privately speculated that Audridge had a hatred against Liverpool. Millwall played Liverpool particularly hard, but he couldn''t find Liverpool.


    In fact, most of them are tactical reasons. Aldridge is most afraid of encountering a team that wants to play against him. Millwall¡¯s defense formation shrinks and releases huge forward pressure when turning from defense to offense. A wave of offense often With the power of destruction, Liverpool attacked, it does not matter, after the attack, the backcourt is Millwall''s victory avenue.


    When both players entered the field, there was a little riot.


    The players on both sides are preparing to debut at the exit of the player aisle, but in front of them, a dozen "sex toys" are dropped from the sky, which are male-made female lower body.


    The head referee''s face was green, the stadium staff immediately ran to pick it up, and at the same time warned the fans in the nearby stands, of course, who could not find who left it.


    Southgate, who was wearing the captain''s armband at the forefront, closed his eyes and smiled helplessly, while the other players looked out of their heads and looked curiously.


    At the same time a loud slogan sounded on the side stand.


    "Colimore! Can you still shoot today?"


    The faces of Liverpool players collectively became ugly.


    Redknapp Jr., who had a verbal confrontation with Aldridge at Anfield the year before, was afraid to raise his head anymore. Liverpool was bruised and bruised by Millwall, and his father Lao Lei could not lift his head in East London.


    And the protagonist of the vortex, Collimore, this formerly known as a genius striker, although gradually deteriorating at Anfield, but outside the court, he is a different man.


    A nun working in a monastery, a large number of people P, not married, but playing the game of "changing partner", and staring at the show with a star and a gun.


    The most amazing thing is that these are all publicly sold to the newspaper.


    The outside world discussed whether he had a neuropathy, or simply said that he was just a pervert.


    Liverpool''s spicy buddies, whose private life is eroding, can''t stand the teammate anymore. There is news that Collymore will soon leave Anfield and switch to his home.


    As a party, Collymore was grumpy. He even played with his girlfriend. Wherever he could bear the bird''s temper, he rushed out and roared towards the stands, but only attracted the fans to laugh at the stands.

 Chapter 181： Classic to modern

    The ridicule of Millwall fans angered Collymore, who seemed like an irrational beast who wanted to rush to the stands to fight the fans.


    Coach Evans had to rush to grab him and drag him into the player tunnel to warn him to stay calm.


    "Stan, if you are a real man, calm down now, go out and fight back with their own performance on the court! Now you rush to the stands and it will only make you a bigger joke!"


    ...


    Players of both teams played under the leadership of the referee.


    Liverpool players have serious expressions.


    Just one and a half seasons ago, Millwall, who was promoted, arrived at Anfield and began his first expedition against them. From that game, Liverpool lost four games against Millwall, and the semi-final FA Cup final was even more Became a label of shame on them.


    Although this group of talented spicy brothers has a messy private life outside the court, there is at least some dignity. When they first confronted this season, they played a wonderful game at home, but from an athletic perspective, they still No password was found to limit Millwall''s offense.


    "The Premier League has met you again. The upcoming game is the focus of the round. Millwall is at home against the Reds Liverpool. If the suspense of the Premier League championship is to be maintained, then Liverpool must snipe Millwall here, but their In the past few seasons, there has been a desire to win the championship, sprinting is weak, and the fans have often seen hope, but they have always begun to fall behind after more than half of the season. This year is also the same. They not only have 23 points with Millwall The gap, even in front of them, there are Arsenal, Newcastle United, Manchester United, Aston Villa and Chelsea behind them. If they cannot make a difference in the second half of the league, then Liverpool may not even miss the European stadium next season. ."


    "Martin, do you think Liverpool can retreat here? In view of the record of three defeats in the past league match, most Red Army fans are pessimistic about this game."


    "Andy, I don¡¯t think the game is over without starting. The first time this season when the two teams played against each other, the game was very exciting. If Liverpool did not concede two goals in the last ten minutes, they would at least be able to tie it down. Millwall."


    ...


    Aldridge sat on the coach seat and watched the starting lineup of the two teams. On the Millwall side, Barak and Zambrotta continued to start. Shevchenko did not enter the big list because he felt uncomfortable during training. Lencharr replaced him, playing left-winger in position, Larson went to the right.


    Liverpool¡¯s lineup is mostly familiar, goalkeeper James, defender: Jones and Scalace are familiar faces, but the backbone of another person Phil Bab and left-back Dominic Mateo are new faces, the former It is the main defender of the Irish national team. He beat Italy in the World Cup two years ago and performed well. The latter is a Liverpool youth training product. Evans can¡¯t stand the poor performance of the small fat man Ruddock, so he uses his own product to Coming into battle, not Rudolk, the defender produced by Millwall.


    Today, Liverpool played a five-midfield formation. The two avant-garde are old faces. McCarter and McManaman. Three midfielders. The back is Redknapp Jr., and the two in front of him are veterans. John Barnes and Czech Patrick Borg, the latter is a Czech star who fought against Poboski in the summer with England. He was caught by the giants due to the excellent performance of the European Cup, but compared to Poboski''s situation at Manchester United. Worrying, Borg is slightly better.


    Single arrow Collymore, Fowler could not play due to injury.


    At the beginning of the game, the players of both sides started to attack, the rhythm was extremely fast, no players stuck too much ball under the feet, the game runs very smoothly.


    Benitez sits on the right side of Aldridge, observes and analyzes the game, and then writes and writes in his notebook, and then explains his views and trends to the Aldridge.


    "Liverpool''s main attack is on the middle, and the two wings create opportunities in front of the door. More tasks undertaken by Collymore today are to attract defense and respond to responsibilities. Barnes and Borg take turns to insert the threat more."


    Aldridge nodded, and he could see it, and Jenson on his left side came together and said: "Liverpool are going to attack today. Our defense is stronger than them, and their midfield defense is a weakness."


    "Not necessarily, they added a special man in the midfield today. When defending, Barnes, Borg, and Redknapp will quickly retreat to form the barrier in front of the penalty area. Initiated, and then attacked in the middle to respond. Compared with the confrontation three months ago, their offense and defense conversion is much easier."


    "But who is the defensive midfielder who is made up of these three players, or is he a full-time defender? No, Barnes slowly hits the midfield from the striker, the defensive technique is flawed, Borg is the attack Defensive midfield, the defense is not particularly good, Red Knapp Jr. is more organized, maybe the three of them can stand in the defensive position, but their defensive ability is not enough to make the defense line stable."


    The two teaching assistants expressed their opinions on Aldridge''s ears, but Aldridge frowned and stood up to the sidelines.


    Jenson and Benitez stared at Aldridge doubtfully, but saw him standing on the sidelines and roaring towards the players.


    "Run, give me 300% seriousness! Do you really regard Liverpool as a child?"


    The camera captured Aldridge''s angry roar, which exclaimed the commentators.


    "Why is Hall angry with his team? It''s strange."


    "Obviously, he is not satisfied with the performance of the players. Maybe he thinks the team should score a goal, ha ha ha."


    As the team coach, Aldridge knows his players best, just as the players understand the information he leaks through his words and actions.


    Today, Millwall¡¯s players are on the field, and at first glance there are no particularly big ups and downs.


    It feels a little lukewarm.


    After two and a half years of working together, Aldridge already knows the players well. From their running, they can see whether they are serious.


    Perhaps the record of four victories against Liverpool in the past made them despise their opponents from the bottom of their hearts.


    The most desperate player on the field is Glenshare. He rarely finds a starter in this kind of focus battle. The Danish Golden Wings have been very eye-catching after taking the ball on the left.


    Aldridge started to stand on the sidelines, and he seemed expressionless to suppress his anger.


    If the players think that they have set a record of 18 consecutive wins in the past, they will steadily harvest the league championship this season, and their career will embark on a glorious road. .


    From the peak, you have to put in more effort.


    Stepping into greatness, you haven''t hit the road yet!


    Southgate blocked Barnes''s straight plug to Colimore and turned his head to kick the ball to Zambrotta on the wing, who then passed the ball to Glencharr in front.


    The Danish sideways faced McCartil who was defending him close to his body. The right foot gently changed the direction of the ball when he touched the ball. At the same time, he quickly rushed forward from McCartil and McCartil stretched his foot subconsciously. The ball was blocked, but one step later, he was scored by the Glenchard.


    With the ball driving along the side of the road, Glencarre drove fast, and Jones, who defended him against the opponent, was shaken by Glencharne''s fake, and he saw the ball under the ball.


    Glencharr, who had connected the two, ignited the enthusiasm of the Lion''s Cave Stadium, but after a bottom pass, the ball was passed out of the opposite sideline.


    Trezeguet, who was out in the middle, lowered his head and ran back depressively. Larsen at the far end could only turn around and ran back, but still gave thumbs up to give Glencharr some encouragement.


    Seeing the pass from that foot just now, Aldridge slightly bowed and raised his waist plate slightly regretted.


    Glenn Charles, another player who made him feel tricky.


    There is speed, there is a breakthrough, the only flaw is the cross and field goal.


    Crossing is worse than shooting.


    In the statistics of the past two seasons, Glennshire has the highest number of passing times per game. Although his way of passing is very simple, he relies on explosive power to change direction, but it is not a bad thing to eat a lot of tricks. There is no difference in actual meaning between one action and three actions, but the difference lies in the appreciation of the process.


    He, who averaged the most times per game, was accompanied by an unbelievable success rate.


    So much so that the media would laugh at him: Glennshire is the king of Millwall, nothing more.


    From Aldridge''s perspective as the head coach, it doesn''t matter how many people Glennshire has played. Even if he has passed seven or eight people from the backcourt, he can''t lead to goals in the end, that is, inefficiency.


    Therefore, his bad cross made his breakthrough threat plummet.


    Aldrich turned back to Mullenstin, who was sitting next to Jenson. He bowed his head and asked, "Is the focus of Jesper''s technical training still outstanding?"


    Mullensteen and Moniz, many players will receive their additional coaching training in addition to regular training.


    Mullensteen said: "Extraordinary is the point. How much do you see his performance on the field compared to the performance in the last two seasons?"


    Aldridge said helplessly: "But after he passed? No one can be found in the pass, and there is no threat to the shot, which directly leads to the poor efficiency of our attack on the left."


    Offensive efficiency is generally reflected in the number of goals and shots on the court.


    If you don''t shoot, or if you shoot all, you can''t form an assist.


    Mullenstein also saw this, he thought about it and said, "Then strengthen his cross training and shooting training?"


    Aldrich shook his head and said: "I can''t be optimistic that he can achieve the best in crosses, shooting and dribbling. Instead of strengthening his cross and shooting training, it is better to focus on training others. Combined with the shooting technique, my winger can make a poor pass, but must have the ability to score."


    Mullenstin nodded after a moment of contemplation: "Well, I''ll go back and study his characteristics."


    Aldrich turned and walked back to the sidelines. As he said, his winger''s passing skills can be worse, but he must have a scoring ability. The scoring, long-distance long pass or side pass, is done by the full-backs Schneider behind the opponent.


    He can''t train every player into a decathlon, which is unrealistic. Every player has limits, energy, time, talents, etc. have upper limits, and they should highlight their characteristics to target training.


    Glenn Charl''s playing style is more like a classical winger. Audridge must let him give up the classical winger''s playing style and move towards the development path of modern winger.

 Chapter 182： Come back

    Strong dialogue is the focus of tactical confrontation, because the gap between the overall strength of the two sides will not be too large, the formation of the coaches of the two sides is more attractive, and it also has a direct effect on victory and defeat.


    Liverpool are more active and serious than Millwall after opening today.


    It can be seen from their running and aggressiveness, as well as the connection of players'' position.


    The offensive routines of the two sides are almost the same, based on the midfield and actively fighting, quickly passing through the midfield during the attack, and then open the opponent''s defense gap from the left.


    Millwall is Glenshire and Liverpool is McManaman.


    Roy Evans watched Glenn Carr''s dribbling away on the court and exclaimed in his heart: Missed!


    Shevchenko''s sudden discomfort before the game made Millwall have to replace him. Evans thought that the left wing would still be Larson, but did not expect to be a Danish rampage.


    Glennshire is a player who eats by speed and explosiveness. He spares no effort to play. Every time he takes the ball on the sideline, the whole court is shocked by him.


    Even if the fans are used to his bad crosses, but repeatedly seeing him with a breakthrough figure, he can''t help standing up and cheering for him.


    This classical winger''s kick has a very shocking visual sense.


    Standing on the stands and looking down at the entire stadium, the audience can clearly see that every time Glenchard takes the ball to start, it drives Liverpool''s defensive formation in the second half quickly back, and saw this scene in front of the TV. There will be an illusion: it seems that he is driving the entire stadium to move laterally.


    McCarter didn¡¯t know how many times he passed by Glenchard today. He was so angry that he wanted to foul. He pushed a handful of Glenchard. As a result, Glenchard stumbled out of the sideline, but Hold the center of gravity again, continue to sprint, and control it before the ball goes out of the sideline, rushing forward with lightning.


    Jones also had a headache for this kid. Evans had a very clear layout before the game. He wanted to block the winger''s inward route, and he did the same.


    But this kind of targeted deployment is aimed at Larson, but the Danish kid in front of him does not take the inside line, and like most wingers or wingers, he goes down and then crosses.


    Jones once again blocked the inward route, Glennshire unexpectedly took the ball to the bottom, Jones half-turned over to defend the opponent head-on, and Glennshire finally passed a kind of cross-shaped pass.


    Trezeguet nodded the ball before heading to the goal, James responded quickly, jumped up and reached the first block, the ball was about to fly into the upper corner of the corner, but James was blocked with one hand.


    The ball just bounced in front of Jones. He used the chest to stop the ball and unloaded it. Then he waited for the ball to hit the ground.


    In the midfield, Makelele stared at Barnes in front of him. Barack had just attacked and had not returned, and was quickly returning to defense.


    Heading is not Marklele''s strong point, and Barnes preempted the landing position.


    Makelele pointed to the Borg on the other side, and he obviously pointed it to Barak.


    Barnes headed the ferry and gave the ball to Borg. Barak had already caught up, but he hurriedly went from behind to intercept, and Borg took the ball forward to easily throw him away.


    Makelele was speechless and immediately retreated to compress the offensive space without giving the opponent a short pass in front of the goal.


    Barack was also annoyed. He knew he had made a defensive mistake and was chased back immediately after being thrown away.


    Borg took two steps and distributed the ball to McManaman on the left. Then, Borg and Barnes quickly inserted into Millwall''s penalty area. Collymore also began to pass through the penalty area. Involving Millwall''s defensive attention.


    McManaman also rushed forward after taking the ball, because it was just counterattacked after the attack, and Larson who was back was still ten meters away, which made McManaman easy to face Schneider one-on-one. , Passed Schneider with a sway and change of direction, looked at the situation in the penalty area after walking the bottom line, he also chose a half-high ball to cross, but the effect and purpose were better than Glenchard¡¯s Crossing is better.


    Seemingly the front pass, Collymore was stared closely by Stam. His movement brought Stam into the deep area, but the ball trajectory was behind them.


    Makelele returned to the penalty area to grab this point, but Barnes always attracted his attention, so he did not run at full speed, and what surprised them was that Liverpool actually gathered three people to attack at one point.


    Collymore played cover, Barnes and Borg grabbed points behind him, Southgate and Makelele could only block the angle, Borg was more advantageous in position, he just greeted the ball after rushing into the penalty area The volley of the foot was violent, and the contact between the foot surface and the ball was perfect. The ball blasted towards the goal like a shell.


    Bute lowered his center of gravity and planned to use his body to block this foot shot. Between the electric light and the flint, the action was made subconsciously, and he felt that although this foot shot was powerful, but the angle was average, his body defensive area should be able to block This foot shot.


    But no one expected that the ball had been refracted halfway. Stam also subconsciously went to the body to block the shot. The ball hit the stretched calf and produced a broken line, which directly bounced into the far corner of the goal.


    Butt was dumbfounded, and Stam was dumbfounded.


    The lion cave stadium was silent.


    "The goal has been scored! Stam blocked the ball into his own gate. Although in the strict sense this cannot be counted as an own goal, because Borg''s shot must be in the goal range, but if Stam does not block, the goalkeeper Bout has Great chance to save the ball. Unexpectedly, Liverpool actually advanced the ball away!"


    "This just confirms how correct Hall was to be angry with his disciples just now. I always feel that Millwall is missing something today. Is it the dominance of the game? Or the creativity of the midfielder? Looking at the scene alone, they did not Overwhelming advantage, Larson fell into silence, Trezeguet could only grab points but could not get support, and Nedved had no bright spots in the frontcourt."


    "I think this is why Evans'' tactics worked today. It seems that playing Millwall should learn from Liverpool, reduce one forward, strengthen the defense of the midfield, and at the same time, you must not blindly play long pass. You can find a way to restrain Millwall by passing the ground quickly through the midfield."


    After the goal, Borg rushed to the side of the court ecstatically, but he was first hugged by Collymore, then other Liverpool teammates rushed to him frantically, surrounded him, and several players did towards the stands A roaring expression.


    Such as McManaman, Redknapp Jr., Barnes, etc., since the 0:8 defeat six months ago, they have not only been accused by fans, they even felt ashamed of themselves. Which team is best for their fighting spirit, so the top ranking is Millwall, and the rivals Manchester United and Everton, because of the long-term hatred, but temporarily behind the emotional stimulation.


    Beginning last season, Millwall stabbed Liverpool with one knife after another, tearing apart their self-esteem and superiority.


    Now, the Liverpool crowd will return all this to Millwall.


    So this goal made them extremely excited.


    On the way back to the second half, Collymore even made a **** gesture to the home team coach seat covertly.


    Aldridge didn''t see it. He was turning his head to cheer the players.


    But the fans in the stands and someone on the coach''s seat saw it, boos sounded on the court, and coaches like Jenson rushed out.


    "What the **** are you doing? Dead pervert!"


    Jensen ran into the field angrily and raised his finger to Collymore''s face. Collymore stepped back and raised his hand to push Jansen''s face.


    Aldridge was taken aback by Jenson¡¯s movements, and then rushed by an arrow, just to see Collymore¡¯s movements, he stood in the middle to separate Jenson and Collymore, and then turned his head towards The referee rushed over and said: "The person who provoked me has just started."


    The referee first separated the two sides, and the Liverpool crowd will quickly walk towards halftime, anyway they lead.


    Because Jenson rushed into the court, the head referee determined that he first caused the incident. After understanding the whole process of the matter, Aldrich explained the reason to the head referee: the other party made an indecent gesture to provoke us.


    But the referee didn''t see that, after communicating with the fourth official, he only showed a yellow card to Collymore, and then showed a red card to Jenson and sent it off.


    Aldridge bowed his head slightly helplessly on the sidelines, then said coldly to the referee: "You allow a player who makes this gesture to stay on the court? Is it that you will only be met by the opponent''s coach than the middle finger. Yellow card punishment? If yes, I will now let the players each point their **** at Evans next door."


    The referee talked to Aldridge for a long time. No matter what the opponent said, Aldridge just shook his head.


    In the end, regardless of Aldridge''s agreement or disagreement, the referee issued a warning to him. If he instigated the player to make a move that would affect the game, there would be not only a red card penalty, but also a disciplinary committee hearing waiting for him.


    Aldridge walked back to the coach''s seat and stood, only changing his arms around his arms.


    He wouldn''t deliberately use his **** to fight back Collymore. It''s not necessary. The other party is scum. Could he become a scum and entangle with the other party?


    But this does not mean that Aldridge is not angry, and there is only one way to let this bad breath out: defeat Liverpool.


    After playing for half an hour, Liverpool scored first.


    At this time, Aldridge also thoroughly understood Liverpool''s tactical arrangements.


    If they have a nine-and-a-half role behind the striker, then their tactics are more like Italian-style single-wing tactics.


    Two flank, while defending, while flying on one wing.


    McManaman was on the left, suppressing Schneider''s assists, but also allowing Larson to retreat to reduce the offensive threat.


    McCarter was supposed to work with Jones to suppress Larson on the right. As a result, he ran into Glenchard by mistake, but Glenfilch passed a rib to the bottom and made Millwall. The attack on the left is not threatening at all.


    Barack and Nedvide in the frontcourt faced obstacles due to the lack of wing response when they fought against each other''s three midfielders.


    Intermission is a suitable adjustment time, but now, Millwall also needs some changes. Their offense is not without advantages, but the efficiency is very poor.


    Aldridge made a gesture to the players on the field, and the players in the midfield and the frontcourt saw the bottom of their hearts.


    With more than a dozen minutes left in the first half, Aldridge''s instructions to the players were simple: strengthen some personal play.

 Chapter 183： Danish Gold Wings

    After scoring, Liverpool won''t go well, the routine is clear at a glance, the midfield quickly transitioned, then raid the Millwall defensive gap from the left, and then the midfielder and the forward took the middle.


    Millwall''s automatic adjustment is also very rapid. Makelele took the initiative to defend Schneider. Barak no longer plugged in. He honestly did the crude work of the engineers in the midfield and backcourt. After receiving the ball, he sent it directly to the front. Nedved.


    This is also a common adjustment for Millwall''s tactical switch. When he has the upper hand, he fights the more oppressive 433, and when the opponent''s offensive is fierce, he changes to 4231. He first bases on the midfield and backcourt defense and then uses the opponent''s pressure to fight back quickly.


    McManaman''s one-on-one success rate against Schneider''s breakthrough was extremely high, but after Makelele''s initiative came over, Schneider could concentrate on defending the opponent''s bottom, which made McManaman encounter difficulties. The foot pass was extremely reluctant, and even in the last two minutes of the first half of the ground pass, Makelele was directly cut off.


    At this time, Liverpool''s formation has been overwhelmed. Makelele steals the ball and lightly passes to the frontcourt. Nedvide turns around after taking the ball near the middle circle. Barnes and Borg are from the backcourt. Retreating backward, but Nedved is faster. After starting, he took the ball and strode meteorally to the front court.


    Redknapp retreated step by step as he was approaching the enemy. Instead of rushing to grab, he retreated first and formed a defensive system with the central defender to curb the opponent''s attack.


    Trezeguet pulled out of the penalty area to make a response. After Nedvide came to the front of the penalty area, Redknapp Jr. finally got close and snatched. Nedvide changed the line and killed to the right, Redknah Jr. Pu followed closely.


    Suddenly, a shadow on the right came into view. Little Redknapp''s pressure increased sharply, and he stared at Nedved, no matter what, he was the ball-holder and the most threatening.


    Nedved and Larson ran a cross, which caused Redknapp Jr. to suddenly stop.


    Ball?


    He turned back suddenly, then pounced on Larson.


    Cunning Czech!


    At the moment when the running position crossed, the ball at Nedvide''s feet disappeared with him. He didn''t pass the ball. It was more like he ran over and left the ball in place, while Lal Sen happened to take the ball from behind and rushed home.


    Redknapp Jr. was obviously thrown away by Larson because his body rhythm stopped and moved. When Larson brought the ball to the line of the penalty area, Liverpool''s double center guard was suddenly alert, Ska Les pounced, and Babu stared at Trezeguet closely.


    Larson was almost caught in a circumstantial situation, with Scalace in front, Redknapp Jr on the right, and Barnes and Borg backing behind.


    But the calm Swede passed the ball diagonally between Scarlett and Babu.


    Trezeguet didn''t move for the first time. After the ball passed, he began to make outs in front of the goal. Babu hesitated for half a second between chasing and chasing, making his start slow, and right behind him. Nedved, who ran across with Larson just now, walked back again, and just went into the penalty area unmarked, receiving Larsson''s straight pass that tore the line.


    At a forty-five degree angle in the penalty area, Nedvide hit the ball with a kick. James abandoned the goal and stretched his leg to block it. Looking back, his heart sank to the bottom.


    The Lion Cave Stadium cheered.


    After scoring a goal, Nedved waved his fists towards the fans in the stands.


    "Millwall equalized the score at the end of the first half. This goal is crucial! The goal scorer is Nedved. This is a tacit cooperation between Nedved and Larson."


    "The topic goes back to the most intensely discussed segment. When Millwall''s winger frequently slanted into the middle, and the aggressive midfielder or midfielder Nedvide changed from a passer to a killer, he The intrusion into the penalty area will make the defender unexpected. As long as someone can pass a fatal pass, then he has the ability to score and Liverpool wants to attack, so there is room in the backcourt for Millwall to cooperate. Such an offense? Obviously, a single midfielder is not good. Redknapp Jr. works very hard, but his defense coverage is not large. It is difficult for you to accuse him of giving up Nedved and turning to mark Larsson. Because it is his defensive zone."


    The first half ended quickly, and players from both sides walked into the locker room.


    Aldridge entered the locker room and stood in front of the tactical board, his expression a little cold.


    "At the beginning of the game, there were many reasons why we fell into a passive position. The most important point is that you despised Liverpool. Perhaps the past four victories against Liverpool made you ignore them, but what is the result? They use more You played a good 45-minute game with a positive and serious attitude. You could have created more opportunities, but you paid for the looseness of your mind. David, especially you, tell me that you can let me in the second half Continue to trust you?"


    Trezeguet''s performance in the first half of the first half was very general, and he was standing in a dead position, which made Audridge very unsatisfied. He needed the forward to be able to withdraw and respond, and he had to invest in defense.


    Aldridge does not require the striker to run back to his own penalty area from the frontcourt, but the depth of the withdrawal must at least reach the middle circle, and directly harass the opponent''s role in the middle road organization, rather than inadvertently walking back to the middle circle.


    Trezeguet stopped talking, and finally shouted, "No problem, I will work hard in the second half, boss, look at it."


    He actually wanted to say that Glencharr, a left-winger, is good at making crosses. I want to score a few goals in the forefront.


    But he also wondered, the quality of Glennshire''s cross in training was not as bad as it is today.


    Aldridge arranged the main points of the defense, then named Glenchard, and drew a track on the tactical board, saying: "Jespe, you play like this in the second half, as long as you are sure on the wing, just How do you pass, then when approaching the position of 5 to 10 meters before the big penalty area line, change the line and cut the ball inwards, wait for you to approach the middle road, and choose whether to shoot or shoot the ball through your observation. Then, after the ball is thrown, you can insert it diagonally into the space of the rib of the penalty area, understand?"


    Glenn Charles hesitated a little bit. In fact, Aldridge has been teaching the winger to cut inside instead of the bottom pass, because the bottom pass can allow the full-back to do this job. Threatening, running diagonally without the ball and inserting the ribs can also attract defensive attention. Moreover, as soon as the direction is changed to the middle, the choice of the ball will immediately increase. There is a response in the middle, and the wing will make room for the rear guard. Striker running position, etc., if it is dead holding the wing, there are too few options for the ball, and it is easy to take the ball to death.


    Today, if Liverpool sent three midfielders to make the middle road area look crowded, Glennshire will not repeatedly go underground, that is, he feels that there is no room for the middle road to choose to go straight.


    However, since the head coach named, he made a military order and patted his chest to ensure the completion of the task.


    Back in the second half, Aldridge sat down again and the score was still a draw, but he chose to trust the players.


    If he was warned during the intermission that there were still people who could not devote themselves to the game, then the player will definitely disappear from the starting list in the next game.


    Liverpool¡¯s players are still very strong. For them, today¡¯s game is not a victory of three points, a tie and a loss of zero points, but a vengeance war that is about dignity and face, and the meaning has long been exceeded. The game itself.


    Because McManaman''s repression on the left, Millwall''s right attack can only rely on Larson in the front, which makes his air cut difficult and easier to be marked, but Millwall''s left, Grenchar has been playing on the wing in the first half, leaving Zambrotta with no assist area, so the two wing of the attacking front are both rigid and inefficient.


    There was a change in the second half. It was no problem for Glencharr to eat McCarter hard by speed, and then cut the ball inwards. After he cut inwards, Zambrotta quickly caught the edge to attract Jones'' attention, plus The striker ran out of position, Larson on the other side plugged in, Nedvide responded in front, Barak also ambushed in the back, and Millwall''s offensive immediately came alive.


    But the key point is Glennshire''s choice and ability to handle the ball.


    In the first fifteen minutes, he had a long shot that was outrageous after cutting inwards, and then began to choose the pass. The effect was getting better and better. When he passed the ball, he cut the ribs of the penalty area and disrupted Liverpool''s defensive line. De Verde created a chance for Trezeguet and Larson, but they failed to score goals. Even Barak came forward to catch a long shot, but his footwork was not well controlled. Outrageous.


    Liverpool started to have a tendency to be suppressed. Their players were not reconciled, so they invested more in the counterattack. McCarter, who defended on the right in the first half, felt that since he could not block Glenchard, he might as well use it. Offensive suppression, so he also assisted to make Liverpool''s offensive options more.


    In this attack, the scene was immediately full of passion. Both teams were not the kind of rough play teams with long passes. The ball passed through the ground very quickly. The side of the attack was almost ten seconds after the end of the attack. The other soldier came to the city.


    Barnes made a long shot to the bottom right corner of the goal, but Bout flew out and hugged the ball in his arms, causing a burst of applause from the scene.


    "Millwall, the main goalkeeper of the new season, is really reassuring. Although he is young, he is more stable than Keller. This kind of save is needed by a strong team and has morale for both teams. For different effects, Liverpool must be frustrated, and Millwall¡¯s players will be more calm."


    Butt did not waste time after saving the ball. He climbed up and threw the ball to Zambrotta. Schneider did not dare to pass it. Today, Schneider was too embarrassed and was ravaged by McManaman three times and five times. Fortunately, he is in a good state of mind and has not been destroyed by confidence. From his expression and movements every time he defends, he can see that he is working hard, not fouling foully.


    Zambrotta took the ball and passed it to Barak who was in front of the right. The latter made a kick and passed the ball to Grenchar in front of the left.


    The ball seemed to pass a knife hill ball, and Glennshire and the opposing full-back Jones were about the same distance from the ball.


    But Glenshire was faster. He and Jones took a quick step forward, wading the ball first, and then rushing into the inside, setting off a cheering cheers from the stands.


    With his start, Liverpool''s back line became louder.


    Nedvide had a free time through the running position. Glenn Charles passed the ball to Nedved at the front of the penalty area, and then rushed forward without speed. Nedved faced the ball and directly entered the penalty area. , So that Glennshire has a chance of a single-handed ball.


    Glennshire was probably too fast. He shot from the foot with a little reluctance. After exerting force, only the toes touched the ball. As a result, he wanted to hit the near corner of the goal, but the ball flew to the far corner of the goal.


    James was also shaken by him, looking at the opponent''s action to shoot hard, why did the ball fly lightly to the other side?


    when!


    The ball hit the far end goal post, Glennshire lost the center of gravity after the shot and fell out of the bottom line, watching the ball did not enter the door, he lost his expression to the extreme, but the next second, the ball bounced back to the direction of the penalty spot and the sense of smell was sensitive Trezeguet rushed to the ground, jumped up and shot with a foot arch pad, the ball flew into the goal.


    James flew a step slower, and Bubb and Scales roared back from the back as he stood up.


    Why are you missing someone?


    The two defenders are relatively innocent. They are not afraid that the other party will cooperate directly to find Trezeguet. What they are afraid of is a sudden change in rhythm. As soon as Glenchard shoots, everyone¡¯s attention will become a focus on the ball, which naturally appears a flaw .


    Trezeguet rushed to the sideline with his jersey, and he waved to the ground with a smile on the ground.

 Chapter 184： Who is humiliated?

    "Millwall reversed the score! Glenchar''s shot lacked a bit of luck, but after hitting the post and rebounding, the alert Trezeguet succeeded. The Glenhal''s performance in the second half was more threatening. The adjustment of Hall''s halftime is very effective."


    After the overtaking goal appeared, Aldridge stood up and applauded the disciples with a smile.


    After he sat down, Benitez asked in a puzzled way: "Why do you have to take him inwardly? Isn''t this a normal route for the winger to go down?"


    Faced with this problem, Aldridge just shook his head.


    In this era, it is difficult to explain this issue clearly.


    In the next ten years, players in many positions in European football disappeared one after another. Later they were popularly known as classical, classical waist, classical winger, etc. Classical means past, not contemporary or future.


    The disappearance of classic players or the sudden decline in competitiveness is inseparable from the overall football development environment, including the team¡¯s defensive posture. For example, in the contemporary era, most teams still pay attention to the defense. This is also the space where the classical winger survives. The defender who grabs the type, you take the initiative to rob me, I have not negotiated with you.


    As for other considerations including the position of the lower back, the strong center''s outstanding advantage requires the two wings to transport the shells.


    Contemporary Peter Pan Ovimas, either because he does not have the ability to cut inside, but has a lot of strong centers in the Dutch national team in the restricted area, or need two wings to pass the bottom to send assists.


    In the next ten years, Spain, which has produced one after another excellent wingers, has also suffered the worst. Whenever they have the angel wings of world attention, the international competitions are always dismal, and finally the national team¡¯s door is no longer facing. The classical winger is open, even if it is brought, it is not a piece of mainstream tactics, and it is more to provide the team with supplements and changes.


    The disappearance of the classical front waist is essentially a static style of play that does not conform to the mainstream of European football.


    Turning his attention back to the field, Liverpool was completely in a state of madness after being reversed, like an irritated beast. The previous seventy minutes of competition did not seem to make them tired, but instead ran more actively.


    The fans in the stadium stands holding their breath, and they haven''t felt such pressure and tension at home for a long time.


    Fear that Liverpool will score a goal in the next second.


    Liverpool''s tide-like offensive relied on integrity and aggression, temporarily overwhelming Millwall.


    This kind of scene makes Aldridge not surprised, but today he also wants to thank Liverpool, but it is definitely praised.


    Because the pressure caused by the general state of the Red Army¡¯s madness is unprecedented by Millwall, even against Manchester United, Millwall has not experienced such pressure, and it is more locally suppressed, but Liverpool¡¯s running today The intensity should be the highest of all opponents Millwall has encountered.


    The pressure encountered has made the players unable to withstand it. Makelele even had a steal error that almost made Redknapp Jr. long-range even.


    Aldridge had to make a change. He asked Gattuso to warm up and replace him with Trezeguet when he had 13 minutes left.


    This formation became 4312.


    Makelele Barak Gattuso was responsible for the interception before the penalty area, and Nedvide responded in the midfield.


    There were less than ten minutes left in the game. Liverpool broke through the wreck and the army passed the situation. When the ball was received, it passed quickly. After the ball was lost, it quickly robbed. Seeing the red shadows like the wolves, the Millwall players were surrounded. Aldrich saw that Iron-blooded Red Army!


    But Millwall did not leave much of the offensive space for Liverpool. Makelele was responsible for interception, Barak compressed the space, and Gattuso swept through a wide range, which caused Liverpool to face big problems in the offensive organization of positional warfare.


    Although Red Knap passed accurately, he was not outstanding in creativity. The characteristics of this kind of player will generally be praised, but compared with the top pass masters, he made a judgement. Precise is just a basic skill. When to pass, where to pass, torn off the defense with the pass is the highlight of the master performance.


    After the offensive space was compressed, Barnes couldn''t find the ball out of the way. There were people in front of him. He was not worried about handing the ball to the assists. The defender chose to take the ball to break through. Tusuo cheated, but just accelerated, Makelele shoveled over, accurately shoveling the ball from Barnes to the right.


    Barnes quickly flew to the left, the ball was over there, Schneider did not wait for McManaman and Barnes to rush up after taking the ball, almost all the players on the defense today performed very badly, but at this moment, He calmly used a diagonal long pass to pass the ball to the left of the frontcourt, which is a magic stroke on the court.


    The audience''s eyes were focused on Millwall''s second half, and this pass caused everyone''s attention to suddenly shift, and then burst into applause.


    Glennshire started to sprint across the center line, stopped the ball steadily and then took two dribble steps. Liverpool''s backcourt was empty. There were only two central defenders. Babu retreated and Scalace committed an old problem. Take the initiative to go to defend Glennshire.


    This time, Glenchard didn''t choose to break through. The space in the middle was too big. Nedved looked at him while running. Glenchard diagonally passed the middle. Nedved took two steps forward after taking the ball. After Larson pulled away, he easily put the ball straight in, and Babu couldn''t catch up even with wings on his back!


    Larson waded into the penalty area, James just rushed forward two steps, but saw Larson''s spirit overflowing to cut the ball, the ball jumped lightly, making the game full of speed and collision passion suddenly rhythm. With a turning point.


    The audience looked at the beautiful and unpredictable little rainbow, as if they had a moment of tranquility from the explosive atmosphere.


    James looked back, and the ball drilled into the goal against the lower edge of the beam, and the rainbow crossed the top of his head, making him bow his hips and sigh.


    "Wonderful goal! Larson killed the game, 3:1, less than 3 minutes left in the game, Liverpool wanted to retire at the Lion''s Cave Stadium and there was little chance!"


    Liverpool soldiers looked at their opponents running to the corner flag to celebrate, puzzled.


    We became famous earlier than the other side. In terms of strength, the outside world will not think that Millwall players have an overwhelming strength advantage.


    But why, Millwall played so controlled? The offensive line flows, and the offensive and defensive conversion can be freely deployed.


    In the last three minutes, Aldridge delayed the time with another substitution and Glennshire received applause from the fans.


    Today his performance is very eye-catching, but from the efficiency point of view, it is still terrible. The passing rate and passing success rate are scary, but he can make the right choice at the most critical time, which means that he is growing up.


    Liverpool tried their last effort, but failed to rewrite the score. At the end of the game, Audridge took the initiative to applaud. Today¡¯s Liverpool deserves respect. At least tactics have begun to limit Millwall, but the player characteristics are not enough. Make tactics perfect. For example, in the three midfielders, if there is a defensive midfielder, their offense and defense will be more balanced.


    However, Millwall is also growing. After these players are comfortable with tactical switching, then their personal ability will be one of the decisive factors for victory or defeat.


    The audience also stood up and applauded the players of the two teams. Although the fans of the Lions are all a winner''s mentality, they may well appreciate this confrontational game.


    Aldridge and Evans came together, and after a handshake they deliberately chatted a little more.


    Evans apologized for Collymore''s insulting gestures, Aldridge accepted the coach''s apology, then praised Liverpool''s performance today, and the two left.


    Today is a strong dialogue, especially Millwall''s Premier League rankings are there, so after the game is not a simple mixed area to give an interview, but there is a press conference.


    The players went to the mixed area to be interviewed live by the TV station, while Aldridge was sitting in front of a group of reporters.


    Most reporters feel like Millwall has won again today, and there was a Collimore **** event in the game. Jenson was sent off with a red card. Should Aldridge fire at Liverpool?


    But when asked about his assessment of Liverpool''s performance in this game, Aldridge made everyone feel unexpected.


    "Liverpool today is one of the strongest teams Millwall has encountered in two years. Although they lost the game, they did not lose the momentum and spirit. If they can maintain their play today, there will be a very A good league ranking will be more competitive in the future. On the contrary, I think that Millwall players are a bit slack in the opening stage and have not given enough attention to their opponents. This has made us passive from the beginning and first The ball was lost, but fortunately they adjusted it quickly. I¡¯m glad that we reversed the win, but I don¡¯t want to see the team lose the ball again before they get up again."


    The reporters on the stage knocked sideways and inquired about Aldridge, all of whom wanted to hear him fall to Liverpool.


    But Aldridge was uncharacteristically. Compared with the hot guys who mocked Liverpool before, today he mostly gave a high rating when he commented on the players. Even if Little Redknapp had no praise for the offense and defense, but at least he Aldrich also praised the devotion and concentration of the game.


    "Did you see the movement made by Collymore?"


    It is impossible for the topic to bypass the controversial character of the game, Collymore.


    Aldrich just wrote lightly about this: "I didn''t see it. Someone told me, and I didn''t care too much. Even if he came to me, he seemed to forget that when he did it, he wore it. The jersey is red. There is a club emblem recognized in England, Europe, and even around the world. Only those who have distorted values ??will think he is cool. Is it humiliating? Is it humiliating? Millwall? Hehe, I think he turned himself into a clown, he was to shame Liverpool, not Millwall, when we want to humiliate our opponents, we will use victory, will use a **** big Victory allows our opponents to remember us. This is the right way to express our thoughts on the football field."


    Aldrich is very open to this kind of thing. People who don''t like him will humiliate him in various ways. Will players on the field make a hurry to make a **** gesture?


    Then he went to play away games, and the visual shock of countless fans'' inferior gestures was stronger than when one made it, and the swear words from the stands were endless. If you can''t stand this, don''t be the head coach.


    The psychology of all kinds of people in the football world is very strange. You fail, some people laugh at you, you succeed, some people hate you, you are mediocre, or some people scold you.


    The rise of Millwall is a reason to be hateful enough.


    How can a team on the cusp of the storm be liked by everyone?

 Chapter 185： Create a cradle of superstars

    The game of crazy lions vs. the Reds came to an end. Millwall''s advantage over Manchester United in the standings has been expanded to 20.


    Ferguson¡¯s team began to recover from the impact of the European War after the first half, but the excessive draw and losing streak in the first half, plus the defeat in direct dialogue with Millwall, made the Red Devils chasing the lead The sheep''s journey was rather weak.


    The old Scottish man also said in front of the media that Manchester United¡¯s road to defending is over, congratulations to Millwall for winning the league title in advance.


    His remarks pushed Millwall to a higher position and became the target of the Premier League.


    It''s actually killing.


    On the one hand, Millwall players start to float, on the other hand, it implies that the opponents you face in other teams are champions. Take out some skills to make the champion headache.


    Aldrich didn''t care about it. Ten thousand reporters asked him, and his answer was the same: as long as Manchester United''s performance is stable and outstanding, Manchester United is still the champion.


    As the sun went down, Aldridge drove home and passed the supermarket to purchase many ingredients. After returning home and driving the car into the garage, he carried a shopping bag and prepared to take the key to open the door.


    Beep!


    A horn sounded from behind, and he looked back and couldn''t help laughing.


    I saw Ronaldinho wearing a black jacket with some wind, tight skinny jeans and a motorcycle helmet. At this time, he raised the helmet goggles and looked at Aldridge with a thumbs up. Shouted at him in fluent English: "Boss, today is awesome!"


    "Mr. Hall, come on, give me a signature someday, will you?"


    Sitting behind the motorcycle, there was an older girl who held Ronaldinho''s waist and greeted Aldridge.


    Aldridge couldn''t help crying: "It''s getting dark, what are you doing?"


    Ronaldinho said: "Go eat outside and celebrate we won Liverpool. Boss, are you coming?"


    Aldridge feels weird.


    You are just a player of the youth team and have not played a game for the Millwall first team. We won Liverpool. Are you running to celebrate?


    He waved his hand: "No, go, go home early in the evening, don''t drink."


    "Relax, boss, I will definitely be back at night."


    After finishing, Ronaldinho put down his helmet goggles and waved goodbye to Aldridge while driving his motorcycle.


    Aldridge raised his eyebrows with a helpless sigh, opened the door and walked in.


    Ronaldinho is a lot stronger than when he came last year, thanks to the training mechanism of the Millwall system. At the same time, he also worked hard to learn English, and showed it from the first day he came here Into a strong desire to integrate into the environment, adapt to life here extremely quickly.


    He can¡¯t learn English. Ronaldinho admits generously when he was eating at Audridge¡¯s house two months ago: if you don¡¯t learn English, picking a girl is a big problem!


    The girl sitting behind his car just now is a college student he just arrived. He listened to the story Ronaldinho told before. The other party is a fan. Ronaldinho is a star of the youth team.


    In this regard, Aldrich did not say anything, just told Ronaldinho not to delay training, Ronaldinho still understood that his future must be guaranteed by playing football, so he played a professional package.


    Originally, he was 16 years old, and he was already an adult in the UK. It was normal for him to just have a girlfriend, and Aldridge was also happy to see his players have a stable partner, instead of playing with flowers and eyes every day. The girl staring at where is more beautiful, that is the problem.


    On the premise of not affecting his job and the image of the players and the club, Aldridge was not interested in asking about the private lives of the players.


    However, as a coach, he hopes that the players will be able to form a stable family early, which will help men grow up, be more responsible, and be able to focus more on their careers, rather than chasing beauty.


    Players like Nedved, Larsson, Southgate, and Schneider are such players. Early in the family, some have children, which makes them more focused on their careers, and a strong sense of family responsibility also makes them Fear of excessive socialization.


    After making his own dinner at home, Aldridge bathed early, then got into the study and continued to work.


    Recently he is collating a text of the training concept. He wants to sort out Millwall''s training system and youth training ideas, so that the club has a clear understanding from top to bottom.


    The assessment of coaches in Europe is very strict, but even so, the coaching level is still uneven, the ideas are inconsistent, and each has their own opinions and ideas. Therefore, Millwall attaches importance to youth training and must ensure that all levels of youth training The echelon unified the training concept from the beginning, so that the work of teaching the players produced consistency.


    This is true of many famous teams in youth training, such as Ajax, and this is also one of the advanced manifestations of the European youth training system. It is not the coach''s experience that teaches the players. Therefore, many players have not played or have professional achievements. A high-level coach can succeed, but many players who are very brilliant in the era of players have been defeated after changing to coaches. Most of the reason is that they rely on playing experience to coach the team, not to mention management, but the tactical thinking is out of touch with the times. And because of the deep-rooted "successful experience of players", they can not make much change.


    In general, Millwall''s youth training idea is generally to practice tactics and technology when he is young, and the physical training is more important when he is young. Because the players are over 23 years old, the technical links are basically finalized. Some technical moves, 23 Years old can¡¯t do it freely, so I don¡¯t expect much improvement in training in the future. In the period around 23 years old, the proportion of strengthening physical training will gradually increase. The peak period of many talented technical players is very short, very The big factor is to underestimate the strengthening of the body. Most of them are too confident and obsessed with the technology of their feet, which leads to physical losses during more intense confrontations and makes them more vulnerable to injury.


    What''s more, technical movements are based on physical qualities, even the most common emergency stop, which requires not only the flexibility and flexibility of the body, but also the ability of the body to withstand. The bad thing is spraining yourself.


    The next day, the main team of the first team was on holiday, and other players returned to the training ground to train. Some players who took the holiday will also train themselves. For example, the shameless Schneider who was exploded in the game yesterday, he deliberately returned to the team Mullenstein was found in, and the two watched the video of the game repeatedly in the conference room. Schneider was taken out by McManaman every time the clip was exploded by Mullenstein to explain to him the mistakes he made.


    This is simply a question of defensive technical ability. When it comes to speed, Schneider does not lose to McManaman and fights his body. He does not fall out. Therefore, it is still a question of technical links and defensive experience.


    Aldridge went to the youth team to discuss the plan for the construction of the youth team with Najib.


    He plans to continue to expand the youth team in the summer, with a younger echelon.


    "But the number of coaches is obviously not enough."


    Although Najib agreed with Aldridge''s plan, Rome was not built in a day.


    "The practical problem is that, just the coach of the original youth team, I need to tell them one by one the tactical thinking of the team. Although we let the young players try not to be constrained on the court, in dynamic team tactics, they Still need to follow the tactical routine, we now have to hire a coach, and then let the coach also learn our training policy first, this cannot be achieved overnight."


    Nadji¡¯s difficulty, Aldrich also understands that standing in the office of the youth training base, in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, his position can overlook several training grounds outside. There are almost six teams on the court training. Different ages, but because the threshold for recruiting new teams is low, the blood that can be sent to the first team among the seventy or eighty small players is just the ones that Aldridge focuses on, and the rest is to accompany the prince. .


    "How many people will leave here in the summer?"


    Aldridge asked lightly without looking back.


    In the youth team, except for players like Villa, Cole, Ronaldinho and other players, the contract was followed by Aldrich personally. The others are signed once a year. Every summer, the age reaches the decision stage. Many of the players will leave the team, either find opportunities elsewhere, or leave the football world.


    Najib picked up a copy of the youth team member''s information on the table, opened the file for review, and calculated: "There are nine players and will not be renewed in the summer."


    "How old are they?"


    "The youngest is 17 and the older is 20."


    "Provide them with a new contract, as a coach, willing to stay, the club can train them to learn while working."


    Najib''s eyes lit up and praised, "This is a good way!"


    This can save a lot of trouble, because the training of these players in Millwall, they can better understand the team''s training system and philosophy, can be seamlessly connected, only need to enhance professional knowledge before they can go to work.


    Moreover, it is not for them to be the head coach. The threshold for the team¡¯s coaching qualification is relatively high. In England, it is basically impossible without three or five years. Aldrich has various exams before and after. It took four and a half years.


    Of course, ordinary coaches also need professional qualifications, but the FA has less strict management of this kind of thing, but this affects the team¡¯s signboard. Do you use a group of non-professionals to train players or professionals? This will directly affect whether young players are willing to register at your youth training base.


    If there is a coach who wants to enter the first team, first of all, he needs a higher-level professional certificate, such as Jenson, Craig, Benitez, etc., which have passed various professional ratings in the past. .


    "Aren''t the team building a new stadium? In the summer, you have to expand the youth training base? I think the first team lineup is a bit thin, especially the striker. If Larson and Shevchenko are injured at the same time, you even have two substitutes. Not coming out."


    Najib¡¯s words made Aldridge look grim, he shook his head and said: ¡°But we can¡¯t fight for the rich, the competition in the transfer market will be greater and greater, because it is now the stage of the growth of the football bubble The star, not to mention the rich, the first-line clubs are also eyeing, we can only grab some good seedlings and semi-finished products. The most important thing is, I hope that Millwall will start the youth training signboard, in the future, not only we will search for talent, It is also attracted by a steady stream of talent."


    Najib came to Aldridge and looked down at the young sweaty players on the training ground with him, smiling: "Although this road is dangerous, but I agree with you to persevere this way, it is this way that will let Our success is even more dazzling."


    Aldridge nodded, his eyes becoming sharper.


    This summer, there will be a huge leap in fiscal revenue. He is about to start a new round of military expansion, and he wants Millwall to become a famous "cradle of superstars" in history!

 Chapter 186： The dilemma of arsenal reformers

    Who is the biggest player in the Millwall Club?


    Even when Aldridge faces the public, he will push the team''s achievements to the players and put himself in the position of a humble beneficiary.


    But all fans who love Millwall think that the most important person in the team is the young coach.


    This is probably related to the team¡¯s restructuring policy that began two and a half years ago. Millwall never introduced the famous stars. They didn¡¯t have that kind of appeal, but under the careful adjustment of Aldridge, the team became a star. Gathering, they come from different countries, and together they played a mercury-like football, which is full of rhythm and beauty like poetry.


    Aldridge had to tirelessly refuse a series of enticing advertisements and commercial contracts on the phone with Andrew every month.


    Luxury goods, fashion brands, from high-end cars to watch phones, sportswear to video games, etc., Aldridge''s loyalty to Armani exceeds the imagination of all commercial companies interested in working with him.


    In fact, Aldridge just doesn''t want to appear in commercial propaganda excessively. How can he be covered in bad luck if he hasn''t succeeded?


    Even Armani¡¯s contract, he somewhat regretted it, but he felt that the job was needed, he was wearing a suit anyway, there was nothing wrong with wearing a decent, but the advertiser¡¯s persuasion followed: brother, you can wear a block watch, It is okay to wear a pair of our brand leather shoes, belts, ties, and glasses!


    Aldridge pushed away all contracts, at least he felt that he should now focus all of his attention on the court, and could not guide the players to think in other directions.


    If he had advertising signs all over his body, then after his players saw it, they learned that Aldridge had no qualification to preach.


    However, the players accept the advertising contract, but he does not object. As long as it does not violate the discipline of the team, training is late, and training is not serious, then the players get some off-court income through the achievements on the field, which is also a club favorite, like Pull Players like Nelsen, Nedved, and Schneider are favored by advertisers in their respective countries, so his commercial influence will be partly transferred to Millwall''s influence.


    The reason why Aldridge is more popular than the players is also because he has a singer girlfriend.


    The hot girl group is gaining popularity in Europe and is about to hit the North American market. They will set off an entertainment storm wherever they go. It is against this background that once Melanie has a topic with Audric in interviews or performances, she will let Austria The popularity of Derwich and her suddenly increased. This mutual effect is exactly what Victoria and Beckham imitated. Especially after the promotion of England coach Hoddle, Beckham became a new one. The England England international, and because Victoria and Melanie are in the same combination, Beckham and Aldridge are in the Premier League, although the four will not appear together in public, the entertainment chemistry reaction caused by the subtle relationship It was really earth-shattering, and undoubtedly made the popularity of the four people soar.


    But Aldridge didn¡¯t care about anything other than football. He declined all entertainment interviews. When he appeared at the press conference, he dealt with any topic other than football in silence. Because of this, he and Melanie The topics that can be created are becoming scarcer, and the stories between Beckham and Victoria are more and more.


    Compared with Aldridge''s spring breeze, Millwall''s opponents will make the next match, their coach''s life in London is not very good, and even some words are hard to say.


    Previously, due to the Cup, the same city derby was rescheduled in the Millwall League against Arsenal, a neighbor of North London.


    The make-up was in the middle of the week. Aldridge attended the press conference on the evening of the previous day. He finished his training of players and held a pre-match meeting in the tactical conference room of the hotel without changing his clothes. He came to the scene wearing a blue sportswear.


    At every Millwall press conference, the scene is full of people. They have even more attention than Manchester United. Of course, this is limited to the Premier League.


    After sitting down, I drink a sip of water and moisten my throat. Aldridge just said a lot to the players at the meeting just now, because he attaches great importance to this supplementary match with Arsenal, which is different from other teams. There is no change. Arsenal can be said to be the only team whose primary structure has changed little in the study of the Premier League opponents, but the play has been turned upside down. Therefore, he must make the players realize that Arsenal is not the impression. ''S boring Arsenal''.


    The reporters in the audience stared at Aldridge with dazzling eyes. After he drank the water, someone raised his hand to ask questions.


    Steve Howard, a columnist for The Sun, who likes to make eyeballs, raised his hand and asked: "Mr. Hall, what do you think about the need to replay the FA Cup tie? Do you have any advice to the FA? What about the proposed reform?"


    When the reporters heard his questions, they suddenly showed a heartless grin.


    Aldridge sighed softly and said: "If you come here today to ridicule Alsena Wenger, then the conference will end. I am not interested in evaluating the comments of my colleagues. After all, it is not directed against Millwall. I Respect the power of other coaches to express their opinions."


    Steve Howard shrugged dullly and stopped asking.


    Wenger recently became the focus of Premier League news because he complained about the schedule of the Premier League, and at the same time attacked the FA Cup tie to replay the system, which made him a target, Ferguson mercilessly sneered, thinking he was a foreigner When I came here, my **** hadn''t sat hot, so I started to slap the tradition here.


    The media''s chasing and slamming also made Wenger deeply aware of the incompetence of Fleet Street. He naturally became cautious, and even such excessive caution made Fleet Street very dissatisfied with him.


    The more professional "Times" reporter David Miller is not here to run lace news. He came to listen to Aldrich''s insights, so he raised his hand calmly and asked: "Mr. Hall, I heard You have a good personal relationship with Wenger? Are you still vacationing in France together in summer?"


    Probably his question is ambiguous. What is Aldridge and Wenger going on vacation together?


    The weird smiles on the faces of other reporters have not diminished.


    Aldrich nodded and said: "Yes, I went to France in the summer, but there, through the introduction of Mr. Wenger, I met many excellent coaches in France. We watched the game together and discussed football topics. I don¡¯t think it¡¯s worth your weird smile.¡±


    David Miller looked at his colleagues in some tabloids with disgust. He wanted to know the news about football, not the off-the-shelf lace of selling dog meat. He continued to ask: "Since this is the case, then according to you Can we make an objective evaluation of Wenger''s knowledge?"


    Aldridge touched his nose and smiled, said: "Evaluation? What qualifications do I have to evaluate others? Besides, he is one of my predecessors, I come to evaluate him? That is rude. But I can simply say some facts. , Ten years ago, Graham joined Arsenal. Although Arsenal achieved a period of glory in the past ten years, what are the fans'' opinions on Arsenal? Library. Wenger took Arsenal to Arsenal in just one month to let Arsenal Na¡¯s football style has changed. Pay attention to the European ground coordination in your mouth. He changed Arsenal¡¯s training management. The team¡¯s mental outlook has been renewed. In the past, they seemed like a pool of backwaters. They played static football on the court. Now, Their football is more dynamic, beautiful and enjoyable. Wenger is a head coach with profound football knowledge. Do you know? He has spent 25 years researching and experimenting with football ideas and has achieved success in Monaco. I don¡¯t think that Who in England is qualified to judge him and to judge him?"


    The reporters looked at each other, there was something wrong with Aldridge''s words, there was always a hallucination.


    David Miller nodded seriously, but he was very satisfied with Aldridge¡¯s statement, but the Daily Mail reporter Richard, who was sitting behind, frowned and asked, ¡°Mr. Hall, what do you do with Wenger? High evaluation, oh, it is admired, at least I understand it, have you ever thought, he is your opponent, the team he coaches is called Arsenal, is the Derby opponent of Millwall, you should not be punished by you His personal relationship influences his views on him."


    Aldridge¡¯s expression remained unchanged, and he replied: ¡°I¡¯m saying this because I¡¯m not affected by my personal relationship. Arsenal has already begun to rebuild, and will soon return to the top ranks of the championship, if I, as well as my players, cannot clearly recognize the potential and changes of Arsenal, then, in the end, Millwall will swallow the bitter fruit of beneath the enemy. I like to seek truth from facts, you don¡¯t think that my devaluation of West Ham is For my own self, I am just telling the truth. I am talking about Arsenal today, and there is no lie."


    "Hot contention? Is this season?"


    The reporter from Star News interjected and asked.


    How far is Arsenal from Millwall? Close to the 30-point gap!


    Unless Millwall loses the rest of the game, it is impossible for Arsenal to win.


    Aldridge scratched his head and laughed: "This season''s Premier League, Arsenal must have no chance. Even if Milwaukee gives up the lead, Manchester United will not agree, Newcastle United will not agree, and Liverpool will not. Will agree, but Arsenal still have the FA Cup to fight for. They are very strong. You see, Arsenal have a complete midfield and backcourt system, and there are Bergkamp in the frontcourt. The summer transfer to Vieira and Pires in their team, and the recent transfer to Arsenal to join Arsenal, Arsenal''s lineup structure is very reasonable, which is enough to lay a good foundation for their future."


    "Talk about Millwall. The lead in the league is so huge. Will Millwall''s focus shift in the next few months? For example, defending the FA Cup and winning the European Cup Winners'' Cup?"


    "I think the only thing Millwall lacks is experience. Our lineup structure is very young. Although many players have reached the peak age of players, such as Larson and Nedved, Southgate, but our overall It¡¯s still very young, so the pressure and tasks on these players will be very heavy. I hope they can set an example for young players and help young players grow. This is the most important thing. So, in the coming months, I will try to give more young people a chance to exercise. As for the trophy, step by step, we just entered the quarterfinals of the European Cup of Winners. To enter the finals, we must first defeat the strong team of Norway two months later. Bran, as far as the FA Cup is concerned, we will of course try our best, but not losing means that we did not do our best, because sometimes the price of losing a game is that my players have gained experience and got the game. Exercise and improvement is the only way for the club to build for a long time."

 Chapter 187： Competition between old friends

    Wenger has been isolated and criticized by the media and peers since he came to England. Some people think that his elegance is more like a maverick. Among the Premier League coaches, he is also the most unconventional. Interpretation of him is an indication of his own Different, this naturally attracted criticism from the outside world.


    At the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium, Wenger and Aldrich, old and young, two old friends reunite on the battlefield. Before the game started, Aldridge has habitually appeared on the sidelines early, especially on the home game day, he will always first Go to the VIP stand and chat with Puskas, Arthur, and Yiwen for a while, or chat with the live reporter on the press bench.


    Five minutes into the game, Aldridge stepped down from the stands and passed the visiting coach''s seat. Wenger stood up and the two had a brief conversation on the sidelines.


    "Life in London is harder than I thought."


    Wenger sighed with emotion.


    Aldridge laughed: "Yeah, there are many enemies of the coach here, the media and the public are one of them."


    Wenger frowned, "It''s strange why everyone seems to be hostile to me."


    "There is no way. In this environment, there are deep-rooted forces. They want outsiders to be assimilated by the tradition here. If you don''t cooperate, it will become a target."


    "My job is to lead the team to victory, but not to drink and chat with other head coaches. Will you also invite me to gather for a while after the game?"


    "Yes, but if you don''t want to come, I can understand."


    "forget it."


    Aldridge and Wenger patted each other''s arms before returning to the coach''s seat.


    "Traditional giant Arsenal is visiting the Lions Den Stadium tonight to challenge the league leader Millwall. If time goes back, I don¡¯t think anyone will believe that the gap between Millwall and Arsenal in the standings is 29 points. Even if someone believes, It must be considered that Arsenal is the leader, but the reality is so cruel, Millwall is likely to win the Premier League title 6 to 8 rounds in advance this season, as long as they have been doing so well."


    "Hall has absorbed the experience of failing to hit the championship last season. He has allowed young players to appear on the stage of the Cup more for training this season, and the stable main lineup has gone all out in the league. This set is starting today. Lineup In the 22 Premier League appearances, they have achieved an impressive record of 20 wins and 2 draws. The Nedved, Larsen, Trezeguet, Shevchenko quads have been crowned the Magic Four Kings by the outside world. The title, as long as the four of them play at the same time, Millwall''s offensive performance in the frontcourt is almost magical, but I think the more important thing is that the Italian guy behind Nedved, Pirlo, whether he plays directly affects Mill. Wall''s offensive efficiency, Barack and Lampard cannot replace his role in the offense. Of course, the contribution of the first two on the defensive end is greater than Pirlo, which is also obvious."


    "Arsenal''s ranking is actually not much different from last year, and it stays in the second group area. However, under the leadership of French Wenger, the team''s style of play has begun to undergo a fundamental change, although it is still counterattack. The Lord, instead of the traditional British long pass, instead used the European ground to advance. This is very similar to the Millwall created by Hall. The sudden rise of Millwall has set off a storm in the Premier League and quietly changed England¡¯s Football, because more and more teams follow their example, such as the newly promoted Leicester City this season, Martin O¡¯Neal¡¯s team is also defensive counterattack, but likes to take the ground to play the side, Middlesbrough also In the transformation, they introduced a lot of technical stars, but Robson''s transformation seems to be in trouble. Middlesbrough''s strength has been greatly enhanced, but it has dropped significantly from the previous year''s achievements. Now it is struggling to maintain its relegation."


    ...


    The players from both sides came on the stage, and many fans in the stands were holding signs. Many people were angry that Summer Pire and Vieira switched to Arsenal.


    Fans are naturally selfish emotionally, which is a natural feeling.


    They thought that the two had betrayed Millwall and went to their opponents in the same city, but only a little bit of dissatisfaction. If there are players going to Chelsea or West Ham United, it will be completely different. Now, fans are more Is a state of gloating.


    Did you two go to Arsenal? !


    Pires, more time at Arsenal this season is on the bench.


    Vieira, although playing the main role, but if you stay in Millwall, there will be a championship trophy to win this season.


    The personnel on Millwall are relatively neat. Shevchenko felt a little uncomfortable in the last game and recovered after two days of rest. It is not a big problem. This is the practice of Aldridge to protect players, as long as there is even a trace of player training. Uncomfortable, he will not force the players to enter the game, to avoid the catastrophe caused by the small seedlings.


    Goalkeeper Bout, Schneider, Stam, Southgate, Capdevila, three midfielder Makelele, Pirlo, Nedved, striker Trident Larson, Trey Zege, Shevchenko.


    Arsenal side, although Wenger joined Arsenal, but their basic formation is no different from the past two years.


    Goalkeeper Seaman, five-back Dickson, Boulder, Adams, Keon, Winterbourne, three midfielder Vieira, Pratt, Mason, forward Wright partner Bogkamp.


    At the beginning of the game, Arsenal retreated across the board. All fronts were compressed in the second half, but maintained a clear sense of hierarchy. Vieira and Pratt protected the restricted area. The five guards made the restricted area tight and Mason ran wide. Interception, Wright and Bergkamp tandem, the latter''s role on the field is more like the nine and a half, the organization and scoring role in the offense is significant.


    Because Arsenal was a defensive stance from the beginning, there were a lot of people in the midfield and backcourt, which made Pirlo''s forward space narrow, so he sat in the midfield and played the commander''s job lightly.


    In Millwall''s formation, Pirlo is not particularly outstanding, rarely seeing him directly assist and score, but without him, Millwall''s overall offensive quality is significantly different.


    Seeing the six way, he often just inadvertently transferred the ball, which will allow Millwall''s offensive to be transferred to the weakest place of the opponent''s defense.


    Nedved ran back and forth in front to draw attention, attracting the attention of Vieira and Pratt, Mason forced to grab Pirlo, Pirlo did not stick the ball, and played with Makelele after two. , He took the ball on the right in the middle of the frontcourt. He suddenly passed the ball and transferred the ball to the left half. The ball penetrated the lateral interception surface from a small gap and assisted Capdevila to take the ball. After the high speed dribbling forward, at the same time, Larson sets attracted Dixon''s attention, Nedvide came over to answer, Capdevila took the ball, Nedved''s ankle shook, the ball was like a hand The sharp knife penetrated the gap between Arsenal''s full-back and center-back.


    Larsson kicked into the penalty area at the right time. Boulder rushed to defend. Larsson stopped and buckled in the penalty area and then hit the ball with one foot. The movement was consistent and the ball flew towards the inner arc. The upper right corner of the Arsenal gate.


    After recovering from the injury, Seaman flew up and lifted the ball out of the beam with one hand.


    "World-class save! Larsson has a wonderful shot, and Seaman makes a beautiful save!"


    A huge sigh rang from the stands, followed by a wave of applause.


    Millwall''s offense was really pleasing.


    Aldridge was on the sidelines with arms around his chest. This offense exemplified Pirlo''s role. His transfer of the ball to attack was an insight into the weak link of the opponent''s defense. It was also a horizontal transfer that made the opponent''s formation move in a wide range. After changing other midfielders, the success rate of the ball is no problem, but if you can directly see the empty on the left and pass the ball again, it is not easy to say.


    The slow Pirlo trot to kick the corner. Positioning is an indispensable part of his training. Now Millwall¡¯s free kick in the frontcourt. If it is a pass and tactic, it will be handed to Schneider. If it is to be directly The shot is given to Pirlo, and the corner is also given to Pirlo.


    Pirlo did not directly lift the ball to the door, but played a tactical corner kick. He passed the ball to Schneider from the right side of the set. The latter passed the ball after stopping the ball. This rhythm The changes will disrupt the opponent''s defense.


    The pass was extremely threatening. The ball went around the back with an arc. The Arsenal defender pressed forward after the corner kicked out. At this time, the ball came back and they had to go back and run, obviously slow A shot.


    Capdevila, who was killed from a later point, sent a header into Arsenal''s gate.


    As he was about to celebrate, the sideman signaled offside first.


    Capdevila shook his head and ran towards the backcourt.


    Offside, there is no doubt, but it was not Capdevila offside, but Trezeguet. He did not keep pace with Arsenal''s defensive line. When Schneider passed the ball, he clearly protruded. As for Capdevila, he broke the goal but did not offside, but in this era, the offside rule is like this.


    Aldrich did not complain, this is a rule everyone is following, nor is it a different treatment, undisputed.


    Arsenal turned from the defender, the ball passed forward from the backcourt, and the players'' forward running position also had the visual sense of wearing flowers and butterflies.


    Pratt distributes the ball to the inserted Vieira, Vieira passes the ball to the foot of the sidewalk Dixon, in front of Bogkampula, Capdevila has returned to the defense, Wright caught Between Makelele and the defensive line, Mason was blocked by Makelele with a pass.


    Dickson took the ball forward, Nedved defended the side, Dickson did not try to break through Nedved''s defense with speed, but instead passed the ball to the middle, Vieira had been returned to the defense of Larson and Trezeguet was caught, but someone in the middle of the road really answered, Adams!


    Just when Adams was about to catch the ball, someone stretched his foot in front of him to break the ball, and he would take the ball forward to counterattack. Adams then used the body to knock the man down.


    "Wow, Pirlo actually completed a defensive block! This does not seem to be his defense, but through the slow motion, we can see that he seems to have not retreated in the midfield. Adams, when the ball came out, he took the initiative to reach forward and broke the ball. It was an excellent steal. It seems that Hall had special instructions to Pirlo in the pre-match deployment."


    However, Pirlo''s physical fitness was still a bit disadvantaged, and he was knocked down by the tall Adams.


    After Pirlo fell to the ground, the referee whistled to signal Adams foul. At this level of collision, Pirlo did not absolutely lead Adams, so there was no way to show the card. Pirlo climbed and would open a free kick quickly. Adams even He kicked the ball well, then turned and ran towards the backcourt.


    Pirlo was very depressed, so he obediently picked up the ball and returned to serve again.


    However, he has greater psychological confidence, defense is his weakness, and he must improve his defensive ability and awareness in the midfield position, so Aldridge will certainly help him, every game he starts , Aldrich will explain the opponent''s offensive characteristics to him separately, and tell him what he should pay attention to when defending.


    Today, Arsenal''s offensive routine is in Pirlo''s mind, and his defense just now was not a mistake. This is very important for his defensive awareness and adds valuable experience.

 Chapter 188： European style pioneer

    At this time, the broadcast shots in the Premier League are basically close-up shots, but at the beginning of the season, Aldridge proposed to the live broadcast agency to set up a long-range shot, so six cameras were added around the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium, and the machine was on the stadium stand The top of the stadium was originally erected, and the stadium stands were not high, with a capacity of less than 20,000. One can imagine what a narrow stadium is.


    Looking down from the sky, the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium feels weird, but the live broadcast scenes are much richer. From the farther scenes, you can clearly see the players¡¯ intersecting routes, which makes the game screen more rich.


    Originally in this era, the player¡¯s personal ability was more prominent. The close-up lens can capture the delicate technical display of the player¡¯s feet. However, Millwall played the whole, and their football beauty is only partially invisible, and the live broadcast last season has already felt Difficult, because Millwall''s game rhythm is too fast, the lens can''t keep up, so when the long-range lens covers a larger area of ??the stadium, Millwall''s football style immediately aroused the outside world.


    like what?


    It looks like a football played during a game. The ball passes quickly. The ball is sent back and forth, left and right, so that the ball is still in the left half of the second before the next moment, and it will go to the right half in the next moment. After three passes and two downs, he came to the other party''s door.


    The center of conduction is Pirlo.


    Arsenal midfielder Pratt''s running ability has begun to decline, and he can''t defend Nedved alone, so Vieira must also delay in defense. Mason alone is not enough to affect Pirlo. Bo Gokamp''s support in defense is even more limited, so Pirlo can calmly dispatch back and forth.


    Schneider and Capdevila turned in assists in turn, and Millwall''s pass-and-court match screamed in front of Arsenal.


    Shevchenko and Larson''s crazy empty cut in the running position almost caused the Arsenal defenders to break their waists.


    But Arsenal are not weak either. They organized a quick counterattack as soon as they turned from defense to counterattack. Counterattacks are often initiated from the sidelines. As long as they are available, they will never hesitate, and they will definitely pass forward.


    The two sides launched the offense by relying on Dickson and Winterbourne to go straight up and down. The players in the frontcourt were Mason or Bergkamp, ??but more importantly, Wenger let three defenders in the back defender take turns.


    Boulder, Adams, Keon, and three central defenders, there will always be one person in the position battle to rush to the frontcourt, playing a role from tandem to shooting into the penalty area, all of which can see the figure of one of them.


    But today their central defender was in trouble with their tactics. At Pirlo in the midfield, Aldridge gave him a simple defensive task. He stared at the opponent''s central defender. Who plugged into the midfield and you Just look at the timing to break their catch.


    To say that Arsenal have changed since Wenger took over, except for the change in football style, the formation position is basically the old routine, 532.


    This is obviously not the ideal formation of Wenger, but when he first arrived, if he wanted to stand in the locker room, he would certainly not be able to move the main position of many people. Putting Vieira on the upper position is already a limit. Arnell, who is transferred in winter Cardu is still sitting on the bench, and Pires is only in the process of gradually replacing Mason.


    Therefore, the five top defenders on the back line must appear, but Wenger provided changes to his tactics, so the three back defenders were released, with a high degree of freedom. By tacit understanding, it is not difficult to insert assists in turns. As for what they do in the frontcourt, whether it is coping, organization, or scoring, it is up to them to play freely.


    It must be said that Wenger''s approach activated Arsenal''s passion, and their talents were released, and to a certain extent, it was a coincidence. If he let Adams go to the midfield directly, obviously Adams would not be willing to Changing his position allows Adams to start as a central defender and then stride forward with a meteor during the offense. Adams is pleased to take the lead.


    So in the attack of Arsenal, we will see a very strange scene. Bogkamp is impeccable in taking the ball in the frontcourt, whether it is a short pass or a long pass, a ground ball and a high altitude ball, as long as he runs to the position and uses his feet Unloading the ball has the beauty of four or two pounds, but midfielders such as Adams or Boulder rushed to catch the ball. Sometimes a very simple short pass, they can all stop the ball. The ball is two meters away...


    Because of this, both Pirlo intercepted properly and their lack of ability to handle the ball, today Millwall successfully restricted the tactical characteristics of Arsenal''s central defender.


    As a result, their offenses were increasingly on the sidelines. Bergkamp was very hard and had no skills to speak at the foot, but Millwall¡¯s defender did not eat his suit and never rushed to grab. The frontal defense tried to slow down his Rhythm, stuck in position and then waited for Bergkamp to make a choice. Wright rushed ahead and could not form an effective threat.


    Bogkamp tried to break through after failing to penetrate the ball three times. He had just passed Capdevila, but was easily broken by Southgate. After Capdevila received the ball, he quickly moved forward along the side road. The ball was passed to Pirlo, who then passed the ball diagonally to the right after stopping the ball. On the other side, Schneider received a long pass from the front of the penalty area. Trezeguet pulled the ball from the penalty area to welcome the ball. After the ball was thrown, the ball was given to the left rear. Shevchenko, who was inserted into the penalty area, just arrived, rubbed his shoulder with Keon, and then stopped the ball in the chest. When the ball landed, it was a kick.


    Keonchen tackled the ground, Shevchenko was kicked to the lower leg and slammed into the penalty area. He endured the pain in the lower leg and looked back at the referee. He saw a whistle blowing in the mouth of the referee and a finger kick. Point, then went to Keon and took a yellow card.


    "Penalty! Millwall got a penalty. The penalty came too suddenly, and the camera seemed to be unable to keep up. Millwall''s attack was too fast, Andy, did you see it?"


    "I didn''t see clearly either. Capdevila and Southgate completed a wonderful joint defense. Capdevila forced Bogkamp to make a breakthrough, but when he was passed, Southgate was just right. After killing off Bergkamp''s ball from behind, Capdevila caught the ball to fight back. The ball was transferred to the right after Pirlo''s diagonal pass, and Schneider unmarked a foot. Accurate long pass, Trezeguet headed back from the penalty area to ferry, Shevchenko diagonally inserted into the penalty area rushed over Keon''s defense, forcing Keon to choose to shovel because he had lost his position , But unfortunately, he didn''t shovel the ball, this penalty is not controversial."


    "How fast is this attack? We are used to counterattack when Millwall hits the empty space behind his opponents. Their players have nothing to say about the speed, but this way it seems that the speed is faster by transferring the ball. I think, from the defense to the defense If Shevchenko is fouled, the whole process should not exceed 10 seconds, and the lens should be given a panoramic shot, so that we can see the whole process, how Millwall penetrated the Arsenal line."


    After the penalty kick was taken, Keon was annoyed at Shevchenko who fell to the ground. He thought that the opponent was too soft, so how could he fall?


    Shevchenko was also irritated, and his calf was still hurting, and immediately got up and quarreled with Keon.


    The two players gathered together, and finally the two captains came forward to separate everyone. Adams and Southgate separated their teammates and exchanged two sentences. Before the separation, Adams pushed a head of Southgate.


    Southgate didn''t care either, turned and ran towards the backcourt.


    For players of this era, especially players in England, conflicts on the court are commonplace, and actions like Adams pushing Southgate¡¯s head are more like a common action between buddies, with no intention of infringement. In it, the referee will not bother, the two are still the national teammates and defense partners.


    Therefore, fans of this era also hate the performance of face-covering, falling and other actions on the stadium in the future.


    Larsson scored a penalty and opened the record for Millwall. In the 40th minute of the first half, the home team took the lead.


    Wenger, wearing glasses and a club sports coat, sighed in frustration.


    Wenger and Aldridge are both pioneers in the tactical style of the Premier League. Their coaching style is Europeanized in the eyes of the English, just as there are two kinds of players in the eyes of the English: English players and European players, Beckham and Giggs. Belong to the latter, and like Keane, Nedved is an English player in style. European players play more cunningly, or smarter, and rise to the team''s tactical style. The European style is to pay attention to the ground.


    However, subject to Arsenal''s previous tactical routines, Wenger could only watch the food. At least it was not his intention to let the central defenders rush all the way to respond and break the door. Who made the defense line have three absolute main defenders.


    In terms of team formation flexibility, Millwall is not as good as Arsenal, it is like a spring, defense is to compress the whole, and then the power is released during the offense. Compared with the offensive routine in the dead position, from the backward The previous overall advancement was more able to tear the opponent¡¯s defense in the pass. Millwall was not compressed enough because they took the initiative. Arsenal¡¯s attack could not suppress them and forced them to shrink. Arsenal¡¯s short board was not in the attack. Balanced, two wings can''t fly, lack arms and legs.


    Where Bergkamp goes is basically only the side that can be beaten, so sometimes the central defender rushes up and dribbles the ball in order to pull the opponent''s defense, but this is obviously not a long-term way. Boulder is now 35 years old, and next season, Wenger will make the formation more balanced.


    Arsenal''s flaws were discovered by Audridge when he studied his opponents. Although Arsenal in Wenger''s hands are still based on the Premier League in counterattacks, Audridge is really not afraid of the counterattack. At least in absolute speed, they have no advantage. There are just a few people in the frontcourt. Unless they can play a wonderful match, otherwise only rely on the Bergkamp needle thread, Millwall''s defense is not a sieve.


    Moreover, Arsenal''s double back configuration is not perfect at this time. Pratt''s running ability is obviously a loophole, but he does not occupy the position but the defense is not in place. It is a defensive mine.


    In the first half, a one-ball lead was achieved, and the two teams walked back to the locker room to rest.


    Aldridge arranged his second half tactics, which was basically unchanged, but the details focused.


    For example, after the midfield penetration attack Keon, the opponent has a yellow card in the body, defensive actions will be scrupulous.


    Nedvedo runs around Pratt...

 Chapter 189： Gunman

    In the second half, the two sides changed sides and played again. Aldridge still stood on the sidelines to monitor the war. Although he scored a goal, he was often uninsured at this time.


    Fans in the South Stand were singing and dancing, and the fans of the mad lion were no longer taking Arsenal into their eyes.


    Indeed, Millwall is now unstoppable. They are all masters in the field, and each of them is an outstanding star with a skill. In the eyes of fans, every player on the field has enough reasons to become a legend of the crazy lion, as long as they Always stay here!


    As for Sheringham, who was still missed a few years ago, many fans who just fell in love with the mad lion would probably ask: Who is that?


    They couldn''t connect Tottenham''s forward with Millwall.


    It seems that even if Sheringham returns to Millwall, it is simply not worthy of the main position.


    I don''t know what adjustment Wenger made during the halftime break. Arsenal in the second half strengthened the deep attack in the middle. Vieira''s position in the attack is one of the premises.


    Aldrich watched the battle on the sidelines and saw Vieira''s general style and accuracy of passing the ball. He praised the Frenchman in his heart, but he did not particularly regret it.


    Vieira has the potential and early display of certain strength, but his stay in Millwall will indeed be a waste, because without his position, he can only play the bench.


    Aldrich was thoughtful about this. Although Vieira also has organizational skills, there is still a gap compared to Pirlo. When he and Makelele partner, the defense is top-level, but the creativity in offense is There is a lack of it. Aldrich has a full-time defensive Makelele. He feels that he can¡¯t commit another layer of protection. If it is an international competition, it is no problem for the defense to line up like this, just like the French national team ten years later. The source of creation is still from Zidane.


    Vieira can have a sky in Arsenal, Aldridge thinks this is pretty good, Wenger will use him well.


    Arsenal strengthened the offensive in the middle. On the contrary, Millwall calmed down a lot. The offensive was not too fierce, but he obviously strengthened his control.


    Their offense began to lean to the right, Pirlo frequently took the ball to the right, Schneider, Shevchenko, plus Nedved, their offense was concentrated on this side, playing Winterbourne.


    Shevchenko received the ball and passed the ball to Nedved, then turned and ran towards the penalty area. Winterborn had to support the penalty area and compress the space in the penalty area. Nedved defended at Pratt. Down, the ball was easily passed back to the right. After Shevchenko¡¯s attention attracted defensive attention, Arsenal¡¯s left flank appeared immediately, Schneider set up, and put a leg on the spot to pass a high-quality pass. The ball is sent out.


    Shevchenko didn''t even jump at the first point. Obviously he couldn''t catch up, so he turned to catch the second point of attack.


    Trezeguet in front of the goal took off with Adams, but neither of them touched the ball. The ball fell to the back point. Boulder was staring at Larson. The two started in the flat line and can pull Larson''s speed was too fast. When the ball''s trajectory fell from the air, Larson had already led him by one position, and then jumped out of the whole person and flew out.


    Seaman was unable to return to the sky, looking at the ball like a cannonball flying to the goal. He took two steps in a hurry and shook his head helplessly.


    "Larsen scored twice! Schneider''s beautiful assists. This is the 22nd league goal scored by Larson this season. He is far ahead of Hiller in the scorer list. It seems that this season''s Premier League Golden Boots There is no doubt that it will be generated within the Millwall team. Both Trezeguet and Shevchenko are behind him by 6 and 7 goals. Millwall¡¯s trident has scored 53 goals in the league, and There are still more than a dozen rounds in the league. Can Larson impact the best shooter in Europe? The 25-year-old continued his excellent performance this season. He played the top shooter performance under Hall and can kick and kick Scoring goals, he is the dream striker every team dreams of!"


    Aldridge continued to applaud happily on the sidelines, and other coaches were also excited. Babu even rushed over and shouted to Aldridge: "Give him some more opportunities and score a goal record in the league!"


    Aldridge didn¡¯t answer, but he thought about it for a while. The league¡¯s mission is really not heavy. It can allow the players in the team to create more opportunities for Larson to score goals. He can also be inclined tactically, but he did not pack the ticket. Just hide this idea temporarily in my heart.


    The top league goal record can''t be impacted at all. It has been almost dust-proof for 70 years. That year, there can be an Everton lad league goal number of 60. That is also a European record, and it is estimated that it will become history forever.


    Arsenal fell behind by two goals, Wenger began to send troops, sent Pires, removed the veteran Bald, so that the formation became more balanced.


    When Pires played, there was still a boo, but that was only the case. After Pires took the ball, the fans were too lazy to boo him.


    He and Vieira submitted a written application for the transfer. This is a matter of blatant disengagement from the club. The fans naturally cannot forgive, but now the fans are more mocking and ridiculing.


    I think our crazy lion is a small temple, go and hug your thighs, the giant Arsenal will still be killed by us this season!


    After Pires played, Arsenal''s formation changed to 4231, the bilateral avant-garde and the nine and a half Bergkamp blossomed more in the frontcourt, but they could not play the desired effect.


    Nedvide and Trezeguet forced Vieira to defend the ball. He was able to get the ball out of it. It was not a strong point. The burden of concatenating the midfielder fell on his shoulder. After a stoppage error, he was directly killed by Treeze. Guy steals from behind, and Trezeguet steals the ball to the nearest distance to Nedved.


    After the Czech took the ball, he made another pass and the ball returned to Pirlo.


    After losing the ball, Vieira lost her calmness, grabbed anxiously, and rushed directly to Pirlo. When he saw Pirlo in front of him, his heart was cold.


    Behind!


    Just when he realized the problem, Pirlo''s ball had also passed from three meters away.


    Nedved ran out of space and then caught the ball. Between the pass of this person, Nedved gained more space in the frontcourt and completed the turn of the ball and faced Pula In particular, Nedved started accelerating, using explosive force to throw the opponent behind, dribbling the ball to face Arsenal''s back line.


    The entire line of defense was like a major enemy, Larson Necce, Treze Gai was at the forefront and was marked by Adams. Shevchenko made an oblique but stopped halfway. Keon was tricked into pulling him away.


    At this time, Nedved passed the ball to Shevchenko, and then quickly rushed forward. Shevchenko used the ankle to make the ball directly into the penalty area. The unmarked Nedvide passed the pass. After the match, a single-pole ball was scored and the ball was shot into the goal from the near corner of the goal.


    "Third goal! Vieira''s mistakes allowed Millwall to secure the victory. They scored a classic anti-robbing goal, Trezeguet, Nedved, Pirlo, Shevchenko kicked The quick passing of the ball was dazzling, and after their performance ended, the ball scored! Nedved also scored his 10th league goal of the season, Millwall¡¯s Magic Four Kings continued their high-light performance, As Andy said about Pirlo, indeed, I think Pirlo¡¯s name should be added to the four Magic Kings, although he only has four league assists this season, but his role is very obvious! "


    With more than twenty minutes left in the game, Millwall led by three goals, Arsenal began to have a sign of collapse, Wenger stood up with a serious face, he couldn''t watch the team that was finally stabilized was beaten. A thousand miles away, otherwise the next dozen rounds of the league will be over.


    But he can only make some gestures to make the players stabilize the defense line to fight back, but all three goals are behind. Is it useful to fight back?


    Pratt was injured in a scramble, the team doctor entered the field, taking advantage of this opportunity, Aldridge called Pirlo to the front.


    "how do you feel?"


    Pirlo asked blankly, "What''s the matter?"


    "Is there pressure in the midfield?"


    "No, no one robs me specifically."


    There are Nedved suppressing Vieira and Pratt in the front. Pirlo is very relaxed in the back. Even Mason, Pirlo can play with each other as long as he plays with Makelele. He is really easy. .


    Aldridge said to him: "Increase the range of activities, and you will also rush up after passing forward."


    Needless to say, Pirlo knows what to do. Now he has obviously changed his skill in playing football. He knows how to use his strengths and avoid shortcomings. He is not good at breaking through with the ball. , So he worked **** positioning and long-range shots, as well as being able to directly threaten the goal.


    Pirlo returned to the field after receiving his orders.


    Pratt didn''t hurt, and he returned to the field after making some adjustments.


    Arsenal''s game situation has been declining all the way. From the beginning of the game, they can still play against Millwall. After Millwall''s first goal in the first half, their state began to decline. It seems that a heavy punch was It was impossible to recover after being beaten.


    Of course, this is related to Keon''s yellow card, Pratt, Mason and other players'' physical decline.


    The excellent physical strength of Millwall players will always be shown in the second half of the game.


    At this time Arsenal retreat across the board in order to avoid defeat, Millwall is getting more and more aggressive.


    The trident was squeezed into the penalty area at the same time, and all of the people were piled up in the penalty area. Capdevila from the sidelines swept the ball before the penalty area. Nedvide seemed to take the ball under Vieira''s defense, but He deliberately leaked.


    Vieira''s eyes were full of incredible, and he looked back in amazement. I saw a silhouette of the leaked ball rolling on track. Lifting the foot is an impeccable long shot.


    The ball does not rotate in the air, and strangely, the ball''s trajectory in the air seems to be a bit floating, although it is not obvious, but it is not invisible to the naked eye.


    Seaman was distracted by the crowd in front of him. This sudden long shot made him overwhelmed. When he saw the ball, he saw that the ball had rubbed the inside of the upper corner of the right post and got into the goal.


    "Pirlo scored a goal! This is his first league goal of the season. The young guy is worthy of this goal. Or, we expect his goal to be too long, Andy, you want to target him Say anything?"


    "This world wave is just as impressive as his performance at Millwall. This goal is a reward for his hard work. I always think that his role in the Millwall lineup is no less than before him. Any player, but many experts disagree with me, I hope this Italian guy can make those people shut their mouths, they don¡¯t understand anything at all."


    After Pirlo scored a goal, he ran to the side of the court and screamed at the stands.


    He did wait for this goal too long, no matter what, he waited, which can make him more confident to face the future game.


    The other teammates ran over to congratulate him one by one, and finally Pirlo calmed down some excitement, trotting to the coach''s seat to give Aldridge a hug.


    "Thank you, boss."


    "Thank you fart, where is this? Listen to me, Andrea, this is not even the beginning. If you are satisfied, I will look away!"


    There was a smile on Pirlo''s green face, Aldridge pushed his back to get him back on the court, and he smiled.

 Chapter 190： The first victory

    The first confrontation between Aldridge and Wenger in the Premier League made the opponent swallow the bitter defeat of a four-ball defeat.


    At the end of the game, the singing of fans lingered on the Lion''s Cave Stadium, and the cry of the King of London continued.


    Aldridge went to shake hands with Wenger, the two did not continue to communicate, just shook hands and then separated.


    Wenger walked into the player channel and left the field, while Aldridge walked to shake hands with every player who was off the field.


    At this moment he thinks about it, and he can understand why Wenger is not in the Premier League.


    In other words, he is too upright in his heart, won''t be proud of winning the ball, loses the ball is naturally in a bad mood, he will not hypocrisy to entertain others.


    The players thanked the fans excitedly. When Aldridge left the field, there were fans in the nearby stands applauding him. He also raised his hand to pay tribute to the fans, and then walked into the player channel.


    At the post-match press conference, Aldridge briefly commented on the performance of the two teams. He believes that Millwall still has room for improvement, and Arsenal must withstand setbacks on the right path. This is normal, Milwaukee. Earl also lost games that should not have been lost last season, lost points that should not be lost, and players also have a sluggish performance, especially in January.


    As for Wenger, Aldridge refused to comment, but said that any team must undergo a period of pain during the transition period.


    What Odric did not know about this game is that the top three teams of Manchester United, Liverpool and Newcastle United have sent scouts and coaches to watch the scene. They are like the critics on Fleet Street, all trying to analyze Millwall''s tactics. To find a way to restrain your opponent.


    After the game, England¡¯s biggest news was not Millwall¡¯s 4-0 victory over Arsenal, but Newcastle United¡¯s official announcement of Kevin Keegan¡¯s class, the former Liverpool Kings and Blackburn¡¯s head coach Daglish. Succession.


    Newcastle United was originally ambitious for this season, and the world transfer record was introduced to bring Hiller to achieve ambitions, but in January, Newcastle United found that they not only can''t get involved in the championship, and even seem to be unable to win the Champions League tickets next season. After the Southampton draw in the last round, they were thrown away by a six-point gap by Manchester United. Kevin Keegan''s team is still the old problem: defense, so his class will be logical.


    When the news of Newcastle United''s coaching change passed, Millwall became a hot topic again.


    Famous players and critics throughout England are discussing the reasons for this team''s overwhelming.


    In the end, I came to a few conclusions, reliable or unreliable. At least some of them did come up with ideas.


    Running intensity, foot skills, tactical awareness, team understanding...


    This European change has rapidly affected the Premier League teams, some of which can be caught up in the short term, such as physical fitness, and some that the head coach wants to follow but cannot do, such as pass-and-go cooperation.


    In Millwall, almost every player in the position has good basic skills in passing and receiving, from the goalkeeper to the striker. Although not everyone can unload the ball at high altitude like Bogkamp, ??it is like an art, but at least there is no stopping. Mistakes.


    Other teams are studying how to restrain Millwall or imitate Millwall''s success. Aldridge took his team to a high-end restaurant in London after winning the derby.


    The atmosphere at the table is very harmonious. Everyone now enjoys the atmosphere in the team. They are healthy and active. Even if there is competition in the same position, they are all benign competitions. There are many young players who have played out this season. Aldridge has After two and a half seasons of coaching experience, he also has experience in rotating and training young players, and is in good control of the locker room.


    He will give young players a chance, but they won¡¯t trust them immediately. Some players will float in a game or two. Aldrich will immediately calm him down and sit on the bench to see the performance of other players, and then reflect on what he should You shouldn''t be complacent.


    In the next few days, London''s continuous spring rain disrupted the team''s training plan. The team had to move to the youth training base to train in the indoor training ground. This made many young players in the youth team excited. They They all admire the stars in the team, but there are also dissatisfied. For example, Ronaldinho. In a teaching game, Ronaldinho led the youth team. Although he lost the battle, his outstanding performance won the recognition of many players in the first team. .


    Schneider was nagging in Aldrich''s ear: "Make that lad boy into the first team early!"


    Aldridge is not worried, Ronaldinho has been here for almost a year, but the real fierce confrontation has not been felt. In the youth team game, the players mostly pay attention to the track of the ball, but in the Premier League, many defenders It is staring and not watching the ball, the confrontation is not comparable to the youth team.


    Ronaldinho is only 17 years old next season. Aldridge is patient with him and hopes that Ronaldinho will be more patient.


    Ashley Cole, who played against Ronaldinho on the left in the youth team, also performed well, making great progress this year.


    In the second half of the year, Millwall encountered Nottingham Forest in the fourth round of the FA Cup. Aldridge sent a weird starting lineup in a rain battle.


    Goalkeepers: Keller, defenders: Mills, Elgra, Materazzi, Zambrotta, midfielders: Gattuso, Lampard, Barak, Glennshire, forwards: Fanny, Tony.


    Hit an asymmetric 4312.


    Glenn Carr''s unilateral flying wing, the counterpoint is arranged by the full-back, Tony and Fanny can both cover each other, the former also has the ability to take the ball as a fulcrum.


    Millwall didn''t play well this time. He made frequent mistakes. First, it was a factor of rain. Secondly, the pass ability of the side players was there. Fortunately, the offense in the middle was good. Tony played a pivot in the penalty area. Effect, hitting one pass and one shot data, Fanny also through Zambrotta''s assists in the penalty area shot for the team to contribute.


    Nottingham Forest, who was in a terrible condition this season, lost heart to heart and eventually lost 3-1. Millwall advanced to the top 16 of the FA Cup.


    In the cold wind and rain, wearing a wet suit, Aldridge went to shake hands with the manager of Nottingham Forest.


    After shaking hands with Clark, he turned and left, halfway but laughed at himself, turned back, and walked to another Nottingham Forest manager and shook hands with each other.


    Aldridge felt that the Nottingham Forest board of directors had a sick brain, or that all board brains that would allow two coaches to coach a team were abnormal.


    Nottingham Forest¡¯s poor record this season has made it a surprise to become the bottom team in the standings, and the distance from the relegation zone is getting bigger and bigger. The team has two coaches, one is Aldridge familiar Clark, the other Bit is Stuart Pierce.


    Theoretically, three stooges have competed against Zhuge Liang. How can the wisdom of two coaches be better than one, but coaching the team needs authority and consistency. Even if the two are twin brothers, their ideas are not the same. Who do the players listen to?


    The fall of the veteran powerhouse Nottingham Forest is inevitable and inseparable from the ridiculous decision of the board of directors.


    After hurriedly ending the post-match interview, Aldridge returned to the office, just took off his wet suit, walked in from outside, and handed him a clean towel.


    Aldrich turned his head and found Yiwen looking at him with a smile in a slim black lady''s suit.


    "How did you come?"


    "Report to the boss, I am here to work."


    "jobs?"


    "Well, I''m already the manager of the Millwall Club''s promotional department."


    "Oh, it''s too early for April Fools'' Day."


    Aldridge took the towel and wiped his hair. He only thought that Ewen was here to watch the ball, and then came to visit himself. Anyway, the club knew that she was Aldridge''s friend. Although she did not hang up, she played on the home game day. Sitting next to Puskas is to look after the former superstar, a special member of the club.


    In addition to fans in the Millwall stands, the picture of Arthur, Puskas, and Ewen sitting side by side has become a unique landscape.


    After Aldridge wiped his face, it was Yiwen''s small white hands, with a work permit on his palm.


    Aldridge looked down carefully, and there were some pictures of her on it. It was indeed the ID of the Millwall staff.


    Aldridge frowned. "Prank? What''s so funny about posing as Millwall''s staff? Can you bear the impersonation of Manchester United''s staff? Then slip into the Manchester City Club. Hey, this is the rest of my play ."


    Yi Wen''s eyes widened inconceivably: "Hey, do you look down on me like that?"


    Aldridge shrugged and smiled, "I''m just telling the truth, I want people to look good when I get a fake document? Alas, the current document fraud technology is not high. After more than a decade or two, you can fake it again. It¡¯s a craft."


    Yiwen shoved Aldridge without hesitation, and said aggressively: "I said, don''t look down on me, this is true, I am your new employee, such as fake replacement."


    Aldridge slumped on the sofa in the office and said with a smile: "Can you pretend to be a reasonable identity? I still believe the secretary or something, department manager? Ha ha ha ha ha."


    At this moment, Adam appeared at the door, knocked on the door, and walked in. He saw Yiwen''s face was not good-looking, and asked with some wonder: "Boss, are you not satisfied with her?"


    Aldridge looked depressed: could you stop asking me this pimping?


    "She said that she is the new department manager of our club. When will we have the propaganda department? Ha ha ha."


    "Uh, I just had it a week ago. Miss Lowell is our newly hired department manager. Her main task is to help us build an official website and promote the club brand through the Internet. Uh, talents in this area are hard to find, professionals. They were all poached by big IT companies, she..."


    "Mr. Adam, do you mean that I am a non-professional?"


    Yiwen''s tone interjected very happily.


    Adam said apologetically: "Sorry, I made a mistake. Miss Lowell has enough expertise to help us do this job, boss, are you not satisfied with her?"


    Aldrich understood this time.


    He waved to Adam: "I understand that she just took office and hasn''t done anything yet. I can''t evaluate her work ability. Will I wait until the performance report comes out."


    Adam nodded and said: "In addition, the club''s TV station structure has already begun preparations, some mainstream media companies want to buy our TV station plan, what does the boss think?"


    After thinking for a while, Aldridge said, "No, we will be wholly owned and operate as soon as possible."


    "Okay. I still have things, say goodbye."


    After Adam had gone, Aldridge sat on the sofa in contemplation for a moment, suddenly raised his head, and found Ewen looking up at the ceiling, showing an angry look.


    "Miss Evan Lowell, you are my employee, is there an employee who puts a shelf in front of the boss?"


    Yiwen sneered a few times without looking at Aldridge. He said lightly: "But my self-esteem was insulted by the boss."


    "Is the term insult too serious?"


    "In short, I was hurt, my heart was hurt, wow, la la, did you hear it? Heart broken."


    "You won, please clean up your crystal glass heart, how do you make up for the misunderstanding?"


    Ewen''s beautiful big eyes rolled around, and the corner of her eye glanced at Aldridge without changing her face: "Maxim."


    "Okay, Maxim tonight."


    "I''ll treat."


    "Eh? Is this a punishment for me?"


    "Celebrate that I started working."


    Ewen finally turned around and smiled at Aldridge.


    Aldridge felt that she was still a little girl, and she used a coquettish tone: "Well, angel, I meet your wishes."

 Chapter 191： Start the gold signboard

    At the beginning of the Chinese lantern, Aldridge drove Ewen to the Maxim restaurant in the city, and Brady and his long-lost old friend Sol waited for them two steps in advance in the restaurant.


    Sol pretended to hold an order and pretended to be worried. "If you don''t come, we''ll have to urinate and leave. It''s too expensive here."


    Aldridge and Ewen sat down side by side, and he asked curiously, "What are you busy with recently?"


    Saul took out a business card and handed it to Aldridge. He smiled and said, "I''m doing an internship."


    Aldridge took a look, photojournalist.


    Very good, these friends are all at the age when they should start a family, and they are very happy.


    After ordering the food, the four people talked to each other about their current situation.


    Brady¡¯s website has been launched, the cost is not large, the site is not large, and he is not well-known. He has also been busy recently. While staring at the content construction of the website, he has to go to the subway stations to hand out leaflets. He Can¡¯t afford to advertise, but the British tabloid culture is deeply ingrained. When the office workers take the subway, even if they don¡¯t pay for the newspaper, they will get a free tabloid. Brady¡¯s promotion is to fight with some staff who distribute tabloids. Relationship, or give some tips, put their propaganda in the newspaper and distribute.


    Aldrich discussed a lot with him about the construction of his website. In fact, he just told each other some successful football online media templates.


    Brady nodded frequently and even took out his notebook to write down the development suggestions that Aldridge said.


    Originally he just wanted to integrate traditional media resources to create an online football media information platform, but inspired by Aldridge''s whimsy, he gradually had a prototype of a football portal in his mind, not just one-way Information release platform.


    In the end, through the relationship between the two friends, Brady asked Aldridge to regularly write some exclusive game reviews to him. Of course, among the friends, Aldridge will not refuse. Anyway, his own profession requires him to read a lot every week. Games, the top contests in many European mainstream leagues, if he has time, he will watch the live broadcast, if the distance is close, he will also go to live watching, such as England Derby, North London Derby and other games, by the way write some watching Notes are not difficult.


    After ending a pleasant dinner, Audridge drove Yiwen home, but halfway through, she learned that Yiwen became a neighbor with him. Because she was working at Millwall Club, the position of department manager was enough to make her count. It¡¯s an executive, so she got an apartment in the club complex, just across the street from Aldridge¡¯s house.


    Perhaps the players were in awe of Aldridge, so the apartment opposite his house was always empty. No player chose it when choosing an apartment. Now he has a host.


    The following day, Millwall¡¯s center of gravity began to shift. The league was dominated by youth, but Aldridge insisted that Larson start. The frontcourt attack revolved around him, trying to create more opportunities for him to score. And the main lineup is mainly to deal with the strong dialogue and the FA Cup. When the quarterfinals of the European Winners Cup reignite in March, they will enter the final sprint of the season.


    After starting in February, Yiwen officially started work, because the club''s official website is not an entertainment website after all, so the content is focused on the topic of clubs and football, the workload is not large, she also needs to serve as the first host of Millwall TV. People, as to when to resign, it depends on the workload and the development scale of the club.


    Therefore, from February onwards, the club has to find materials for publicity, and will take the time to interview the staff in the club after the team training. The players, coaches, and administrative staff, even if they look at the gate, will not fall. To promote the culture of this club.


    Even from the century without a crown in the past one hundred years, including the dark age when football hooligans are very popular, they will not be ignored when they are introduced, because that is part of the culture of English football, and it is impossible for you to always beautify or be crowned for it. Accepted by the outside world.


    At the beginning of February, the team ushered in a big victory after two consecutive draws in the league. Now that the Premier League team faces Millwall, most of them will use defensive counterattack tactics, which makes Millwall send young players to play. Encountered a lot of trouble, the tough battle was extremely hard, and if you were not careful, you would be attacked by your opponent. Fortunately, Larson supported the offensive scene to help the team not lose the battle. After two consecutive draws, The psychological pressure on young players begins to increase, and Aldridge will make the strongest attack to win a victory, ease the psychological pressure of the players, maximize the protection of the player''s psychology, and also make the young players full of fighting spirit and realize The gap between them and the main players, try their best to catch up.


    At the end of one day of training, Aldridge, who was wearing the club¡¯s dark blue training outfit, just returned to the office and Yiwen walked in with a ticket. He had previously made an appointment to do an interview this evening, which will be broadcast on the club¡¯s TV station and the text record. Will be published on the club''s official website.


    This interview naturally starts with the head coach.


    Aldridge looked at the beautiful and generous Yiwen in the office underwear. The visual sense was strange, and the time passed by. The little girl at that time also had a trace of mature female charm.


    The camera lens was placed in the corner to aim at Aldridge. Aldridge sat at the desk without changing clothes and makeup, and naturally sat opposite Yiwen.


    The two felt the atmosphere was a bit weird at first, but it was no embarrassment when they chatted quickly, and they quickly entered the state.


    Aldrich began to tell the history of the Hall family from the grandfather¡¯s generation in support of Millwall, some of which existed in his memory, and some were heard from Arthur¡¯s mouth. There is no doubt that the Hall family from Mill Wall had formed a relationship with this club from the day he was born, and this emotion was passed down from generation to generation. In the generation of Aldridge, he did not talk about his feelings about the club. When he reached the topic, he ended the conversation.


    From taking over the club to two and a half years later, he had the opportunity to win the first top league championship in club history. Looking back on this journey, Audridge felt a lot of emotions, and some of the troubles he encountered would be frankly stated.


    What is the biggest trouble?


    It is during each transfer period that Manchester United will tirelessly send Larson a quote close to the transfer record.


    Last summer, four major players lost their blow to Millwall.


    Even if the team is performing so well now, Aldridge still believes that if those four don¡¯t go, Millwall will be stronger.


    At least on the front line, although Pire''s position is on top of Shevchenko, he can glance at the bench. Phillips, Tony, Vanny, Glenn Charles, these players are either still immature, or the position and technology on the field Features are limited.


    Millwall thankfully, the players on the front line this season have not suffered major injuries.


    "But Millwall had a transfer income of 30 million pounds last summer, which was enough money for the club to introduce two or three top players. Even if a part of it was invested in the construction of the new stadium, one or two players would be added to supplement it. The lineup should be no problem, why didn''t you do it?"


    Facing Yiwen''s problem, Aldridge said after a moment of silence: "In the past, football clubs were like non-profit organizations, symbolizing honor and different cultural spirits. But now, football clubs have begun to become enterprises, and many clubs have chosen Going public, of course, these clubs will defend themselves and say that they are for financing, so that they have the money to buy better players and make the team more competitive, but in the stock market, no stock is non-profit organization Delegates, those bosses used actions to tell the outside world that football has become an investment and a money-making machine like real estate. But this is not what I am after. I don¡¯t deny the importance of money to football, but I don¡¯t agree with it. This kind of development model, especially a club like Millwall, which is not well-capitalized, now has nearly two hundred million debts, and plans to pay off within fifteen years, which makes us unable to shake the foundation of the club hastily. "


    Yiwen immediately asked: "What do you think is the foundation of Millwall?"


    Aldrich said in a deep voice: "The development model of self-cultivating talents. The outside world is saying that Millwall lacks experience. I also think that many players on the team do not have European experience, but the national team''s experience in the competition will make up for this slightly. Now, we have a very good lineup, Southgate, Makelele, Nedved, Larson, there are top players on each line, they are an important pillar of the club''s development, I hope they can last for a long time Staying here will not only keep the team competitive, but also play a role model for young players and help young players grow. I think that after three to five years, Millwall will be on the right track. We can Maintaining one or two excellent players into the first team every season, forming a virtuous circle, so our foundation is youth training, not to go to the transfer market for generous gambling. Once a club like ours pays more than a thousand With a transfer fee of 10,000 pounds, one or two players bought cannot be integrated into the team, which will cause a heavy blow to the club. Not only is it financially, it is related to the entire team, because it will limit the opportunities for young players to play. , Compressing their team space, rather than gambling, I would rather trust the players we cultivated carefully, give them the opportunity to see them hope here, and with the effectiveness of serving the club, to achieve glorious ideals here, forever Stay here."


    Aldridge focused on elaborating the club¡¯s development policy, and also wanted to play a sign of youth training for Millwall. In the future, many young players will not be able to come forward in the original club. Most of them are caused by the original club¡¯s vigorous recruitment. Aldridge wants to give the outside world One signal: Millwall will give young players more opportunities.


    And this signal must be based on their achievements.


    The better phenomenon is that young players like Pirlo, Shevchenko, Capdevila, Bout, etc. can be successful here, which is the best publicity advertisement, but Lampard, Ferdinand and others who have not yet made it. , Will also have the same effect, because they will have more and more opportunities to play in the future.


    In addition to youth training, Aldridge also talked about management and constraints on players, training plans, club prospects and other topics.


    Whether he is a coach or a boss, he is definitely the most important person who has the most ideas and directly affects the development of the club. The interview lasted for almost four hours and ended when it was dark.


    When the camera turned off, Yiwen also showed a trace of tiredness. She looked at the time and smiled at Aldridge: "Will I invite you to dinner tonight?"


    Aldridge smiled and refused. He had a date with Melanie tonight. Fortunately, the other party was late for get off work, otherwise he would make an appointment.


    Learning that Aldridge was going to date Melanie, Ewen smiled and said goodbye, but after leaving the office, he looked sad.

 Chapter 192： The players eyes

    After Aldridge''s team interview ended, the popular Yiwen interviewed the players in the team one after another during the training break in the next few days.


    This made the atmosphere inside the team suddenly active. Compared to pre-match press conferences or post-match interviews, they were rarely able to be honest with the outside media, because after being familiar with the faction of Fleet Street, most players felt that the outside media Any questions to them are not well-intentioned, and they will find ways to misinterpret what they say, causing unnecessary trouble.


    For example, if a player is asked about salary, no matter how the player answers, it will be interpreted as dissatisfaction with the wages by the outside world, triggering a "scandal" in the transfer market.


    After the game of loss or draw, the player''s remarks will become the focus, which arouses the players'' sense of self-protection. When faced with the media, most of them are formulaic. It is nothing more than a few words and a fixed attitude.


    But Yiwen¡¯s interview is obviously from the standpoint of the club. The players also want to express their thoughts through this kind of interview. Whether it is grateful or ambitious for the future, only if they really think of themselves as a part of it. There is a desire to talk.


    Southgate, as the captain, rightfully sat in front of the camera.


    When asked by Ewen about his choice of Millwall, Southgate said frankly: "In fact, I never thought of joining Millwall, and I would not hypocritically say that I dreamed of joining here since I was a child, because in 1994 In the summer, I was the main player in Crystal Palace. The relationship between Crystal Palace and Millwall is well known. At that time, I was yearning for the Premier League and fighting with Crystal Palace. However, the boss gave me a top quote, Now it seems that the quotation is not high, but at the time it was not a small amount. The Crystal Palace Club agreed to the quotation without discussing with me, which made me feel abandoned. In that case, I don¡¯t think I can stay in the Crystal Palace anymore. Then the boss personally persuaded me to join Millwall. On that day, I will never forget that at first I thought that the boss was a arrogant and arrogant guy. Reason told me: he Just talk big, don¡¯t go crazy with him. But I was still convinced by him. I think that what impressed me at that moment is an irrational passion. This is also the most needed in football. It cannot be described by words. Yes, and this passion is a must for many successful teams. Like Manchester United, Liverpool, Ajax in the past three years, etc. Football is a very special field, whether it is a player or a coach, If you just think of it as a job, you will hardly succeed. The element of passion is one of the essential qualities of a successful person. This element is in the head and deeply infected me."


    Ewen smiled and nodded. Aldrich did have this element. He made Millwall''s football **** and wild. The strong fighting spirit of the players on the court showed the quality of the players that the public needs most.


    "So how do you feel about Millwall''s life two and a half years after you came here? What are your plans for the future?"


    Southgate smiled and said, "After coming here, I felt that I improved very quickly and entered the England national team. The boss let me be the captain and I always have a strong sense of responsibility, which is very important to me. And, I am in a very united and competitive team, which makes us look forward to brilliant achievements, I have to admit that if I am in a mid-stream and downstream team, it will be difficult to maintain after a season Focus on the game, maybe get enough league points, the player will be slack in spirit, but here, no, from the first game of the season to the end of the season, we are full of faith to win every game, I hope to harvest a trophy at the end of the season, one, two, or more. In the past two years, we have been improving. There are so many good teammates around me, which also inspired me to move forward, otherwise it will not be worthy of this excellent. Team, last summer, I became a sinner in England. At that time, I just wanted to escape, but the boss appeared in front of me for the first time. He paid more for me than I had imagined. It made me rejuvenated and firm. It¡¯s been a difficult time, but it¡¯s also my most precious experience. Now, I can calmly face all difficulties and help my teammates in a difficult situation. The role? In the future? I want to play here forever, fans, teammates, and bosses, these are the three most important reasons I never thought of leaving, Millwall will win the first league title this year, although The league is not over, but I believe we will not give our opponents any chance. We will play every game well and then play the European Championship next season. That is the stage of my dreams and the stage that the team aspires to. We can¡¯t wait. Want to compete with the top European teams."


    Hearing his rhetoric, Yiwen nodded affirmatively. There are many messages that can be reflected from the player''s mouth, which includes the pursuit of the whole team.


    "You said that the reason why you want to play Millwall forever includes head coach Aldridge. Is there any other reason besides introducing him to cultivate you?"


    Southgate chuckled and said: "There are many reasons, and it is not clear at the moment. Mature, he looks young, but the style of behavior is completely incompatible with his age. You can hardly see him when he is anxious, when he wins. I will praise you with restraint. When you fail, he will make you forget the shadow and pressure of defeat. The word he often hangs on his mouth is: business as usual. I think this is the reason we firmly believe that we can succeed, victory At the time, everything is still the same, continue to win, when losing, don¡¯t immerse yourself in the past, you should focus on the next game, and the faith to pursue victory will not be shaken."


    ...


    Yiwen interviewed other players next, most of them expressed their gratitude for Aldridge''s cultivation, and also had their own understanding of Millwall''s culture, especially foreign players, who were inspired by the enthusiasm of the fans here. Shocked, even fascinated here.


    When asked about topics related to Aldridge, the players reacted differently.


    Nedvide said: "The boss is an excellent patient coach. He will never get angry with players for no reason. Even if the team loses, he will analyze the reasons for the loss rationally. If he reprimands a certain player, It must make sense. The coaches in our team have an objective statistical system. In every game, the coaches of the first team will score each player''s performance on the field. This is not a rigid standard. For example, against some strength is not as good as ours. Teams, coaches will have higher requirements for you, think that your performance should be 8 or 9 points, and when you play against a stronger team than us, you can show a 6-point pass level, and the coaches will be satisfied If you have 7 points and 8 points, you will be praised. On the contrary, if you only score 6 points against a weak team, then the boss will criticize you, and you can''t refute it. The boss''s diligence and wisdom is what makes me feel admired and willing to always work for him. His professional attitude inspires us to move forward, which is very important."


    Larson said, "Wow! Yeah, he redefines my role and ability on the court. I used to think I was a point forward, but here, I am more free on the court and I can do More, I am improving every season, our performance is unmatched, as a striker, I scored many goals in cooperation with my teammates in the game, and many of them are classic goals that are never tiresome when looking back. Let''s enjoy the game and have fun. I see the outside world always talking about how easy they are to score goals. I think it''s superficial because I don''t think other coaches can make a team The offensive game is so rich and varied, why exclaim? Because he is only twenty


    Trezeguet''s gratitude for Aldridge in the interview was overwhelming, and he was full of praise when talking about Aldridge.


    "Unparalleled coach, he will surely become the greatest coach in history, yes, I think so, even if people laugh at me for not seeing the world, but I think that if you give the boss time, he will become a legend in the coaching world. It is stressful for me to play under him, but it is more enjoyable because I will not be confused. Some teammates just wanted to give me some experience when they first came to the team. I will tell them: If you don¡¯t know what you should What do you do, then go to the boss, don¡¯t think about anything, what the boss asks you to do, you just do what you want, and then you will find your value. I am not saying that the boss is an unreasonable person On the contrary, he likes to reason with me the most, and even I am a little annoyed. For a while, he told me: David, I need you to be able to provide assistance to teammates on the front line. Then, I started to actively defend, head I¡¯m still not satisfied, he said: I have to give some assistance to my teammates during the offense. I don¡¯t understand why, because I am a striker, my job is to score goals, but the boss told me a lot of tactical principles, to be honest, I did not Understood, but after a few games, I did what he said, and then I understood that now, I can cover my teammates, and at the same time, I scored more goals than the same period last year. The boss will be higher Happy to tell me why, the threat of striker partners gives me more space and the like, I tell the boss: You only need to tell me what to do, and I will do it, which is enough."


    In a series of interviews, Yiwen found that she didn''t seem to notice that Aldridge has so many characteristics. After all, each player''s perspective is different. Like Makelele, his gratitude to Aldridge is more out of Yu was appreciated.


    His role in defense is considered to be the key to the team¡¯s success. Aldrich tirelessly recommends him to the national team, which is even more touched by Makelele, and recently the French national team has begun to call Makelele. Signs, he feels that he is an important person who is absolutely valued in Millwall, which gives him a strong sense of team ownership.


    Players such as Schneider and Phillips felt the gratitude of the encounter. The former thought he wanted to play in the German regional league in the summer of 1994. The latter was abandoned by the Premier League youth training and fell into a low-level amateur club.


    In an interview, the other team members were full of hope for the club¡¯s prosperity and future prospects. As a part of witnessing the rise of Millwall, everyone is full of motivation every day and wants to personally put this little ball in the past The team shaped into a behemoth.


    The video of the team interview has not yet been released on official TV. It is expected that Millwall TV will be officially launched this summer, and the text record has attracted widespread attention immediately after its release on the official website.


    This directly led to the official website being paralyzed in the first week of its launch...

 Chapter 193： Confident or mentally disabled?

    After entering 1997, Millwall seems to have new changes every day. Creative and innovative posters, new club flags, the official website is online, and a blue lion on the side of the home game as a mascot.


    After killing Tottenham in the FA Cup in early March, Millwall advanced to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. They entered the rhythm of tying a game and winning one game. This gave Manchester United a chance to catch up. As Vietnam moved closer, Ferguson started a psychological battle again, claiming that Millwall would eventually crash like last season.


    Before every league press conference, Aldridge almost has to formulate it again: if Manchester United performs well, the league champion is theirs.


    The European war rekindled. On Wednesday afternoon, the Millwall team packed up and boarded the plane to Bergen, Norway, under the leadership of the coaching staff.


    In the quarterfinals of the European Winners'' Cup, they will be the guest of the first round to challenge Norwegian powerhouse Bran.


    The official is to pack a small passenger aircraft, not only all the first team players go out, the youth team also has 18 people to accompany.


    The first team is sitting in front of the cabin. The youth team players and coaches are sitting in the back row. Najib is an exception. He sits next to Aldridge. The two discuss the youth team''s schedule.


    It is Aldrich¡¯s idea to let the youth team go to the European War away. This is not only to cultivate the sense of belonging of the young players, but also to take this opportunity to discuss with clubs around Europe. As for the cost of the expedition, it is all beside The minutiae are not worth mentioning.


    Before going to Switzerland and Sion to play in the second round of the European Winners'' Cup, Aldridge noticed that these small Nordic countries also have good youth echelons. Regardless of their strength, at least the style must be different from England. In order to let the youth team The players have more contact with different football styles across Europe, so as not to be assimilated by the league opponents in England every day. Aldrich contacted Bran Club before leaving Norway and proposed that the youth teams of the two teams play a friendly match.


    The Bran Club readily agreed that they would wait for work anyway and they would not have to provide hotels and accommodations to Millwall.


    In addition, Aldridge also sent the intention of the friendly team of the youth team to other clubs in Norway. Many clubs feel very new. It is common for the first team to play friendly games, but they will not be played in the middle of the season. Most of them are pre-season friendly games. , The first time I met someone who took the initiative to come to challenge the youth team.


    Several clubs also agreed. As for the Millwall Youth Team¡¯s youth league and the FA Cup in England, Aldridge should not worry too much. The strength of the Youth League is not great because the number of participating teams is not large. It takes an average of 10 days to play a game. As long as you apply to adjust the schedule with the FA, it is not a big deal. The schedule of the Youth FA Cup is more relaxed. You have been promoted consecutively. The average is only two games in a month and a half.


    The first team will go back to the country after playing the away game with Bran, and then Najib will take the youth team to make a lap in Norway, under the banner of exchange "stepping on the field" in Norway.


    But then again, Aldridge really doesn¡¯t care what the youth team¡¯s record in Norway is. It¡¯s mainly for the young players to develop their horizons. After all, it¡¯s just training and the local youth league. It¡¯s really not enough, so that every week, Najib will take the players to the community to find a street football team for the youth team to exercise.


    Aldridge and Najib were discussing the schedule of the youth team¡¯s schedule on the notebook. The noise behind the cabin made him unable to concentrate, so he turned back and said, "Ronaldo, please keep me quiet!"


    The first time the boys experienced this kind of scene, they were very excited and restless on the plane, but no, Ronaldinho was there to teach Ashley Cole samba dance with great interest.


    After being reprimanded by the head coach, Ronaldinho finally settled down.


    The youths of the youth team are no longer loud and noisy. The first team players in front are very quiet, playing cards, playing music, listening to music, watching movies...


    When the plane landed at Bergen International Airport at night, the players leaned against the window early to admire this beautiful harbour city. The charming night scenery quickly made a lot of players remember this place.


    After disembarking from the plane, a well-arranged bus was already waiting outside the airport. Aldrich and his party boarded the bus with a simple luggage and stayed in a hotel in the city.


    Although the first team players do not have much experience in European wars, most of them have traveled with the national team, so when they came to the hotel, they prepared to rest and recuperate to prepare for tomorrow night''s game.


    But the youth team players were obviously overexcited and restless in the hotel. Villa and Joe Cole were going to sneak out and were caught by Najib. The players were so noisy that the entire youth team''s coaching staff couldn''t sleep all night, and Naji''s assistant Mr. Franz simply put his chair in the corridor and watched the night...


    Bran¡¯s position in Norway is similar to that of Newcastle United in England. Previously he won the championship, but now it only occasionally hits the championship, but it does not form a dominant force. However, due to the Nordic style of play, Bran is in the local Bel The root has always been sought after, and the football frenzy caused by it has lasted for a long time.


    The youth team''s schedule is relatively close, so on the next morning, Najib led the youth team to the Bran Club youth team training stadium. After a short warm-up, the players of both sides will play, planning to leave Bergen in the afternoon and head to Norway The capital Oslo will challenge the youth team of the Capital Club the next day.


    The training ground of the Bran youth team is not big, there is only a small stand around, and the residents who are nearby are all coming to watch the game. They all heard that a youth team came from the United Kingdom. The clubs that fight are here during the day to compete with their youth team.


    Fans who are concerned about mainstream European games know that this formerly unknown Millwall has set a new streak for five major leagues and set an 18-game winning streak in England. It can be said to be invincible in the Premier League.


    So they would like to see what awesome the youth team of this club is.


    But they were disappointed.


    This Millwall youth team led by Ronaldinho and the Bran youth team have a difference in average age, because like Villa and Ashley Cole, they are still 1516 years old, and Ronaldinho is about to turn 17 years old. Originally, the average age is not big, but there should not be a big gap in strength because of the difference of one or two years.


    In the game with the Bran youth team, the Millwall youth team played extremely badly. Najib jumped on the sidelines. He was so angry that Aldridge sat in the stands and laughed.


    Look carefully, Ronaldinho, Joe Cole and others are all playing with dark circles. The ghost knows that they have been playing in the hotel room last night.


    The Millwall youth team fell behind 1:3 before the first half.


    The mentally weak players such as Ronaldinho also knew that they played too long last night and did not have a good rest, which led to abnormal performance. They felt that the body was kicking and sinking. During the halftime break, Najib chose to replace him and put some tired out of breath. The players are replaced.


    The team''s performance in the second half still didn''t improve, so Bran scored two goals.


    With every goal scored, the coaches and players on the Bran youth team cheered happily, and the fans in the stands also gave applause.


    They think this Millwall youth team''s strength is simply scum!


    It can be seen that their first team is also not dripping. It is no wonder that English football has performed generally in the past ten years. It seems that Millwall is nothing more than a mouse in the Premier League.


    Ronaldinho and other players who were replaced on the court looked selfless and looked at the proud expressions of the young players and coaches next door, which hurt their self-esteem.


    Aldridge in the stands was very happy, he felt that the decision to bring the youth team out was really right.


    You have to make this group of guys understand that you want to go abroad for sightseeing and play and win applause. How can there be such a good thing in the world?


    I hope that today''s defeat will teach them a lesson. As long as you are not a faceless loser, you should be able to wake up.


    After the game, Aldridge left the scene. In the afternoon, his players performed a simple warm-up training at Bran''s home to adapt to the venue.


    The weather in Norway is good today. Although it is not as warm as England, it should feel good to wear a long-sleeved jersey when playing football at night.


    After the training, Aldridge attended the official press conference.


    The atmosphere at the press conference was a little weird.


    There are many journalists from the mainstream Scandinavian media, as well as some reporters who follow the UEFA competitions. The English journalists who came here with the team endured a smile and seemed to anticipate what would happen.


    When Aldridge sat down, the football reporter in Berg basically said, "Mr. Hall, did you watch the game this morning?"


    Aldridge didn''t respond for a while, and asked: "What game?"


    "The match between Millwall Youth and Bran Youth."


    "Oh, watched. Does this have anything to do with the game tonight?"


    "The Millwall youth team lost 1:5, what do you think of this?"


    "I don¡¯t think what the youth team¡¯s game can represent. It¡¯s normal for those U18 players to have ups and downs, not to mention coming from England to Norway, but it¡¯s a good exercise for them. Even losing is a valuable experience. I feel good."


    "Is the 1:5 score good?"


    "I don''t understand what the score of 1:5 means? What do you want to ask about grabbing the score? You are confusing me. In England, there are teams in the Youth League who can lose seven or eight games a game, but What about then? Do the losing players stop playing in the future? Are they sure they will not succeed in the future?"


    Aldridge was puzzled, is it true that in Norway, training youth teams value the results of the game?


    The English reporters off the stage, especially those familiar with Millwall, couldn''t help it, and grinned, covering their mouths.


    Finally, Richard said bluntly: "Mr. Hall, Bran¡¯s head coach Calvinis just commented on the morning game at the press conference and thought that from the performance of the youth team, the strength of the Millwall first team is definitely Not great, he declared that Bran will make the suspense for the promotion to the semifinals completely disappear at home tonight, and will not give Millwall a chance to return to London and make a comeback."


    Aldridge was stunned. He did not know the other coach. When he first contacted the friendly match between the clubs, he directly negotiated with the executive director of the Bran club.


    "Infer the strength of the first team from the performance of the youth team?"


    Aldridge asked suspiciously.


    The reporters in England all laughed crazy and nodded, which made the Nordic colleagues despise their behavior.


    Aldridge¡¯s expression became weird. He was also holding back his laugh. I don¡¯t know if Calvinis was overconfident or mentally disabled. He wrote lightly: ¡°Oh, well then, we came with a mentality that puts great emphasis on the game. Here, tonight''s game, I also look forward to seeing Bran show the strongest strength and can give fans a wonderful game."

 Chapter 194： Suspense disappeared

    Thursday night, Norway, Bergen Bran Stadium.


    I have experienced the luxury of the Dream Theater in England, as well as the exquisiteness of the Anfield and St James Park stadiums. Millwall players looked at this Bran Stadium again, and they felt obviously not worthy of the status of the European War, and the capacity was more than the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium. Small, at a glance, the attendance rate is very high, there are not many empty seats, but in fact the number of seats is not even 15,000, which also includes nearly 2,000 fans from the wild lion.


    Most of the Nordic countries are vast and sparsely populated. The population base is there. Compared with the population of about 200,000 in Bergen, the number of people entering the stadium to see the ball is actually a very impressive number. This is also caused by Bai Bran. Given by the football frenzy.


    Millwall sent the strongest team today. Aldridge only replaced Barrack with Pirlo in the midfield. The tactical requirement was to play a defensive counterattack, and 433 conservatively became 4231.


    Bran came up with a set of 433, three forwards plus three parallel midfielders and four defenders. Nordic often have speed type wingers. It is normal for them to play two wings and fly together. It extends to the national team and is often seen. One characteristic.


    When the game started, Aldridge was sitting on the coach seat, and the fans in the stands shouted to cheer. There was no friction between the host and the guest. Originally, Bran fans thought that Millwall was a well-known, Millwall fan. I feel that Bran fans are all chins, and they don''t know how to appreciate real football.


    If it is a big opponent, let''s take the momentum to compete with you, which matches the strength of the team, can Bran? Competing with them is still suspected of losing identity.


    Aldridge has been thinking about why the opponent coach Calvinis will look down on Millwall.


    Is it a smoke bomb?


    But it seems that I have never seen smoke bombs with extreme contempt. Most smoke bombs are demeaning and low-profile.


    Perhaps this is related to Millwall''s previous rounds of promotion. Millwall sent out a substitute team to play a cup match. The two rounds of the previous round of the host and guest were only a small win against the Swiss powerhouse Sion, and the scene was more dull. .


    Now that Aldridge has room to let the main lineup charge, he also brought the whole team deliberately. Other players who can''t play are just a rhythm that is used to this long-distance travel in the middle of the week. Adapt and learn to regulate your self-state.


    Although the European Cup Winners'' Cup is the second most influential club cup in Europe, it actually has insufficient gold content. It is said to be the king of the cup. Will continue to compete in the European Winners Cup in the second season. The domestic cup was originally full of accidents. In addition, the competition pressure in the mainstream leagues is large. It is also common for cup champions to appear in the middle and downstream teams. Assuming that one of the five major leagues is in one As long as there are two or three cup championships won by the midstream team this season, the team composition of the European Cup Winners'' Cup next season may not see several well-known traditional strong teams.


    This is not like the Champions League. The traditional giants dominate the league. Although the Champions League is also a team in each league, the annual championship will not be obtained by a large number of non-big men. Therefore, the gold content of the Champions League is very high. This phenomenon did not allow the gold content of the Champions League to decline until Platini played balance in European countries more than a decade later and engaged in "poverty alleviation".


    Therefore, Millwall advanced all the way to the quarterfinals. The opponent he faced was still the unknown Bran. Of course, his opponents also thought so. The first time in the history of Millwall''s team construction, he played in the European War. The name is naturally not loud enough. .


    After the opening, Millwall played a little conservatively and his rhythm was slow.


    Bran''s attack was more fierce, and the players seemed to trust their own skills. The wing players repeatedly tried to break the ball after taking the ball, and they did not take Millwall into their eyes.


    Aldridge saw his opponent boldly pressed and played extremely unrestrained. He put the speculation in his mind behind him.


    It doesn''t seem to be a smoke bomb.


    Is really despised!


    The player on Bran¡¯s left wing strides the ball to pass Schneider. The intention is very obvious. Although Schneider will be suppressed by McManman to be dizzy, but McManaman¡¯s kind of ball combination is very good. The style is indeed not easy to mark, because once the defensive player makes a move, it is easy to be turned by the opponent. Schneider is not as strong as Thuram and the direct card position can ensure the success of the defense, even if the ball is not broken, Don''t even think about the past.


    But in the face of Bran players when the ball distance is obviously broken, Schneider is not afraid, he predicts that the opponent is going to bottom, one step back to jam the position, and then half-turn to protect the ball, this turn He threw his opponent behind him, and then he took the ball and walked forward two steps. After observing the situation in front, he made a long straight pass.


    Bran¡¯s formation was slightly overwhelming. Before Schneider¡¯s pass, Shevchenko started from the centerline. When the ball crossed the centerline, Shevchenko had already rushed from the gap between the full-back and the center-back. In the past, after the ball fell to the ground, Shevchenko caught up with the ball, and at this time he took another step forward, completely throwing Bran''s entire line of defense behind him.


    He didn''t continue to dribble anymore, but rolled the ball across the middle.


    The ball rolled in front of the back defender, right in the middle of the position near the line of the penalty area. Trezeguet rushed between the two defenders and rushed to the ball. The ball rolled towards the far corner of the goal. go with.


    The goalkeeper flicked his hand to stop it, but the angle of the foot shot was tricky. He flew to the end and was still unable to return to the sky. He could only watch the ball rubbing the goal post and rolling into the goal.


    After Trezeguet scored, she pointed to Shevchenko and ran over. Millwall fans in the stands jumped up and down with excitement.


    see it? This is the power of our crazy lion!


    "Millwall scored... well, they only used a two-foot pass and broke Bran''s gate with a single shot. The right-back Schneider made a long pass, and the right-hand Shevchenko received on the right side of the frontcourt. After the ball crossed the midfield, striker Trezeguet scored directly. It seems that Millwall is indeed very powerful, but is this play a bit conservative? This is a long British pass."


    The Norwegian commentator was a little embarrassed. Ten minutes before the game, he had been praising Bran¡¯s offensive and degrading Millwall¡¯s conservatism. The sudden goal not only caused the Bran fans on the scene to be struck by lightning, but the narrator did not know for a moment. Overwhelmed.


    Bran started a strong counterattack after losing the ball at home, Millwall led, the players'' mentality became calmer, and they played more calmly, and the players on the field quickly entered the state.


    The infiltrating ball of Bran¡¯s offensive attack was accurately intercepted by Makelele, and then the ball was distributed to Barack who was running. The latter went straight to the frontcourt, and Trezeguet, who took the ball with his back, did not turn around. The ball was passed to Nedved, who was plugged into the middle at high speed.


    After the steel-minded Czechs started at full speed, Bran''s midfielder couldn''t catch up. When Nedved received the ball, the speed did not decrease. He broke through Bran''s back line and went to the meeting alone.


    A powerful volley sent the ball into Bran''s goal. In the 27th minute of the game, Millwall led by two goals!


    Bran players are dumbfounded, Millwall''s offensive and defensive transition is too fast!


    This made their thinking unable to keep up. From defensive success to counter-attack scoring, Millwall''s team tacitly made them unbelievable, especially the frequency of ball transfers, and they would not stay at a certain player''s feet.


    Bran coach Calvinis roared angrily on the sidelines and vented his dissatisfaction with his disciples. At home, he scored two goals. If he could not score, they almost declared their end of the European war journey.


    Aldridge always sits on the coach''s bench, to be honest, he has not studied Bran''s game video before, not to be underestimate his opponent, but he feels unnecessary, his own team strength is absolutely in the opponent In fact, as long as he is tactically cautious, he should not encounter Waterloo.


    If he allows the players to attack from the beginning, there may be problems. In any case, the European war is playing away, and it should be defended before attacking.


    The more aggressive Bran''s players attacked, the greater the gap in their defense. Often their offense came to an end outside the Millwall penalty area. When they turned around, Millwall''s counterattack hit their defense.


    Larson didn''t seem to have shooting boots today, a single-handed ball hit the side net, and a long shot on the left side of the penalty area was also ridiculously high.


    "Is he deliberately releasing water?"


    Aldridge turned his head to make a joke with Benitez.


    Benitez also had a rare sense of humor, saying: "It is possible that Sweden is next door to Norway. A hundred years ago, they were still a family."


    Perhaps the number of goals in the league is too much. Although Millwall¡¯s league has always won the mediocre rhythm, Larson has started every game and scored an average goal per game. It is related to penalties. The number of goals in the league has reached 27. The Golden Boots of the Premier League should have not run. The rest will depend on whether they can impact the European Golden Boots. This year is the standard for the use of European Golden Boots. The mainstream league shooters are slightly better than before. After all, when the point evaluation standard was not used before, some European small leagues scored the number of anti-sky goals, which made the mainstream league shooters unmatched.


    Bran players ran back and forth between the offense and defense. Compared with them, Millwall appeared more calm, and the control of the game gradually fell into the hands of Millwall.


    In the second half of the first half, the generals of Millwall found that the opponent could not attack, so the two full-backs also took turns to insert assists. Schneider took the ball on the right and entered the unmanned area, easily breaking through The opponent''s full-back didn''t cross the front of the goal, but instead returned to the top of the arc in the penalty area. Nedvide gently cushioned the ball with his arch. Those defensive players who rushed to him suddenly came to a sudden brake and the ball was Easily unloaded and passed to the side, the running Barak faced this comfortable ball and took a long shot.


    The long-range shot of this foot is of high quality. Besides the speed, the angle is also very tricky.


    Be heard.


    The ball hit the inside of the goal post and bounced into the goal.


    Barak raised his fists and wobbled up and down. This was his first European goal, and he was naturally excited.


    "Millwall scored the third goal, the first half was not over, but the suspense for promotion should have disappeared, Bran and Millwall are not in the same grade, what is this team from England? Appeared? I haven¡¯t heard of such a powerful team in England before! Each of their players looks top, Bran is not their opponent at all..."


    The Norwegian commentator is helpless and frustrated. If it is not out of respect for his hometown team, he may really add a sentence to the commentary.


    "Head coach Calvinis, you have achieved half of your brazen words before the match. Yes, the first round of the European Cup Winners Cup quarter-final contest. Bran did make the suspense disappear at home, but, the next round went to London, no It is your team that hopes to make a comeback."


    Bran coach Calvinis has sat down in a state of desolation. The team fell behind by three goals. He has no choice but to attack. But the **** is still in the second half!


    Millwall at Dog Day, the last round you played Sion wasn¡¯t the wicked one on the field now!

 Chapter 195： Defending defeat

    The first round of the European Cup Winners'' Cup showed a one-sided situation at the Bran Stadium. Bran took a net at home and swallowed three eggs in the first half. After playing for 15 minutes in the second half, Aldridge replaced Pirlo with Pirlo. Fanny replaced Trezeguet, the team began to firmly occupy the control of the midfield, played a oppressive offensive football.


    After Bran midfield adjustment, they retired in the second half. They were a bit late to the cliff. At this time, the defense has lost its meaning. However, in order to avoid a big score at home, only one less ball can be counted.


    Millwall was unwilling to rush too hard to avoid injury, so they slowed down the pace and patiently looked for flaws in the opponent''s defense through pass and cut cooperation.


    Until the eighty-sixth minute of the game, Larsson went straight in front of the penalty area. Nedvide responded to the penalty area. After falling all the way to the middle, Fanny missed the first point in front of the door and he was pushed down from behind. He hadn''t had time to complain to the referee about the foul, but Shevchenko at the far end outflanked the ball into Bran''s goal.


    In the end, Millwall defeated Bran by four goals away and advanced to the semifinals.


    Aldrich left the game straight after the game and did not intend to shake hands with the opponent''s coach. Anyway, this is not a mandatory rule. Moreover, the opponent devalues ??his team and cannot be demeanor with the opponent.


    At the press conference after the game, media reporters in England asked him what he thought of the game.


    Aldridge pondered for a moment and said, "It is a pity that we can only take away the draw here at Bran."


    The reporters in the audience were stunned.


    Brother, your team won their opponents 4-0!


    draw?


    Have you crossed?


    Not waiting for the reporter to continue to ask questions, Aldridge''s expression changed and smiled: "The youth team lost 1:5 during the day, we won 4:0 at night, the total score is 5:5, and the tie."


    The reporters in England laughed loudly, but the local reporters were embarrassed.


    Returning to the truth, Aldridge answered some questions, and finally said that in the next round of the second round in London, Millwall will still pay attention to his opponent and will never give his opponent any chance to overturn.


    But most reporters guessed that Aldridge¡¯s emphasis on return to attention would be for young players to exercise.


    Najib, who is far away in Oslo, Norway, watched the game live with coaches and players in the hotel.


    After the game was over, he said seriously to the youth team players: "Did you see? You lost someone in Bergen during the day. Fortunately, our first team players saved their faces for the team. You might think : They are all stars, and winning is due. I tell you that this kind of thinking is very wrong. You should tell yourself: they are Millwall''s present, we are Millwall''s future, no matter how old they are, As long as you are wearing Millwall jerseys, you should shoulder the honor of the team. We are not afraid of losing, but we must not easily lose the game indifferently. Well, now go back to the room and go to bed to recuperate. We will fight tomorrow The Warrenunga youth team plays a good game, and then one day rest, when we can stroll around nearby, the day after tomorrow, we are going to meet the youth team of Norway¡¯s strongest team Rosenberg, I hope you can hold your head Go home bravely instead of being laughed at here."


    The young players collectively agreed, and then returned to the room to sleep honestly.


    Aldridge led his team back to London on the night after the game.


    According to Millwall''s momentum in the Premier League, their four-ball defeat to Bran in the European War did not surprise Fleet Street. The media only took a pass to the report. It was Manchester United in the first round of the Champions League quarter-final 4:0. Porto, 1 One foot has reached the threshold of the semi-finals, which makes the British media sing praises for the Red Devils, because for more than ten years, no team in England has been able to enter the semi-finals of the Champions League. The earliest was the European war ban. After the ban was lifted, until this year Prior to this, the Premier League team even had the luxury of qualifying for the group. This year, Manchester United not only qualified for the group, but also saw the possibility of leading to the final. After all, there are only three games left in the final, after a second round with Porto, a semi-final two If you can pass the battle, you will have a chance to win.


    Since losing to Millwall in the Premier League in the first half of the season, Manchester United have not lost in the league until March, with more wins and fewer wins, and the gap with Millwall in the league with nine rounds left in the league, has been Narrowed to the 13-point gap.


    Originally this gap had been reduced to 12 points before the last round of the league, but while Millwall scored a draw, Manchester United lost to Sunderland on the road, they missed the opportunity to reduce the points to 10 points, let Ferguson The momentum of the war of words is much weaker.


    On the weekend, Millwall played against Manchester United''s Sunderland in the last round at home.


    In order to give April and May more time to prepare for the European Cup of Champions, Aldridge intends to use the main lineup in the league to end the suspense of the Premier League championship, so this round of the face of the newly promoted game, he insisted on using the main lineup Anyway, he intends to send some substitutes for the FA Cup next week.


    In the confrontation at the Lion''s Cave Stadium, Aldridge''s opponent is Peter Reed.


    The coach is still young, only forty years old this year, and has a proud part of his coaching history. Just a few years ago, the Manchester City he led overtook Manchester United in the league, but his coaching ideas gradually followed. It is difficult for the British style of play to make breakthrough achievements in the league before the times.


    Sunderland is going to get points for relegation, but Millwall has tempered the heart of the big scene, leading Manchester United by 13 points, and there is no need to put too much pressure on himself.


    When Aldridge saw Sunderland''s starting lineup, he was suddenly surprised. He turned and asked Jenson: "Is it wrong? How do I feel that Sunderland has many players I don''t know."


    In the process of researching opponents, even for mid- and lower-stream teams, Aldridge has an impression of the names and characteristics of players. However, among the 11 players who started Sunderland today, he feels that at least four of them have very strange faces.


    Jenson was also puzzled, so he communicated with coaches such as Benitez and Craig, and after multiple verifications, Aldridge gave a positive answer.


    "Half of them are members of the reserve team and have not played more than 5 times this season."


    Aldridge touched his head, suspiciously: Is this Nima a wonder soldier?


    If so, is there a little more of this stranger?


    He asked Benitez: "What trick is Reed playing?"


    Benitez despised: "No tricks, just retain the strength and wait for the next round at home to score points in Nottingham Forest."


    It must be said that Aldridge still lacks the consciousness of a little strong man.


    Sunderland ran to the Lion''s Den Stadium and died with Millwall, the most powerful player in the Premier League?


    What is the chance of getting points?


    If Reed thinks he can get a point on the dead end, he can''t help but despise Millwall. In addition to Middlesbrough who won a victory here at the beginning of the season, all the guests here have lost. ! And Millwall averaged 3.6 goals per game.


    If he dares to play the full main force, in the event of a defeat, the spirit of killing Manchester United at home in the last round will be completely lost!


    In the next round, they will return to the home to face Nottingham Forest with little hope of relegation at the bottom of the league. Sunderland certainly wants to use the advantage of home to step the Nottingham Forest into the abyss and go ashore, so Reed wisely chose to save his strength.


    Aldridge''s head is a bit of a horn, and he thinks of the other person with his own people. Even if he is dead, he should play a sneak attack on the basis of resistance.


    I didn''t realize that Millwall now has the strength to make other teams timid.


    In the face of such a team that is almost patchwork and Sunderland without team understanding, Millwall, despite his expedition to Norway in the middle of the week, still easily won the game.


    In the game, the teammates gave Larson as much opportunity as possible. There was a single-handed ball. Trezeguet also chose to cross to Larson, who crossed the middle of the road to let the latter complete the goal.


    Larsson smiled and shook his head at Trezeguet, but the latter hugged him and smiled indifferently.


    At the end of the game, there was applause in the stands. On the south stands, the roaring fans held up Larson''s No. 11 jersey and shouted in unison: "European archer king!"


    At 6:0, Larson staged a hat-trick. The number of league goals has reached 30.


    The Swede was moved at the end of the game. He frequently applauded the fans in the stands and hugged each teammate. He knew that he could score so many goals. In addition to his ability, he also communicated with his teammates. Selflessness and support are inseparable.


    Aldridge seemed a lot calmer. He took the initiative to walk towards Peter Reed at the end of the game. The two met each other a year ago. At the dinner of the Coaches Association, Aldridge was elected the best coach of the Premier League. The other led Sunderland was promoted and was the best coach of the Premier League last season. The two had in-depth exchanges at that time.


    "Aldrich, congratulations, Millwall''s first league title in history, it''s amazing."


    "I just had good luck, the big team fell off the chain, and the players under him performed well."


    "Don''t be humble, really hypocritical. I hope we can see you in the Premier League next season."


    "Hey, how can you be discouraged? Take the momentum to kill Manchester United, there are eight rounds in the league, and relegation is not hopeless."


    "You are right, then, see you next season."


    "Ok."


    After chatting for a while, the two separated and Aldridge walked into the player''s channel. In the mixed zone, the reporters were discouraged. It seems that Millwall won''t make any sensational news.


    However, some people were still stabbing and asked Aldridge: "Sunderland sent half of the reserve team players. This is obviously an active disarm. Is Millwall a little invincible?"


    Aldrich shook his head and sneered, "I don''t think so. I always send a lot of new-faced players to the game in some games. A team is not only composed of 11 people, or it is composed of 16 people on the bench. Can these people stay the whole season? Your question is too stupid. If I say yes, the opponent surrendered before the game, then if I send a few new-faced players in the future, it¡¯s not like saying: Millwall Have you surrendered?"


    The reporter who queried the question was choked, and the words sounded okay, as if it was impossible to refute, but in fact there is an essential difference, but the reporter is no longer entangled.


    Manchester United scored two goals at home on Wednesday, with 8 rounds left in the league. Millwall led 13 points. Ferguson weakly rebuked Sunderland''s platoon formation after the game and had to admit: Manchester United''s defending defeat!


    Even if Manchester United wins in the last eight rounds, will Millwall lose five goals?


    Moreover, from the schedule, Manchester United is more focused on the Champions League, and Millwall also has the European War, but it is easy to advance all the way. The real hard battle may be only the semi-finals. That will be in April. It is estimated that at that time, Millwall will be Can be completely freed from the league, but Manchester United have to maintain the league''s second UEFA Champions League tickets.


    The new week is a double match again, the FA Cup quarter-finals kicked off, and Millwall played at home against Manchester United''s Wimbledon.


    This is a Derby in the same city, Wimbledon''s strong style has returned to the courage this season, so Aldridge also discharged a muscular array.


    Goalkeeper: Keller.


    Guards: Mills, Materazzi, Ferdinand, Zambrotta.


    Midfielders: Gattuso, Lampard, Barack.


    Forwards: Tony, Fanny, Phillips.

 Chapter 196： There is a temperament called crazy

    Wimbledon is a wonderful flower in the Premier League. It is obviously the poorest club in the Premier League. Even the stadium is rented by the Crystal Palace, but every year they watch other clubs with more money than them relegated. They rarely fall into the relegation war. The same was true of the season. They sat firmly in the top of the standings, ranked ninth, and left the 10th-placed Leicester City by 7 points, just like a watermark in the standings, because in theory, Wimbledon relegated Worry-free, but the ten teams behind Leicester City, except for Nottingham Forest almost relegation hopeless, the other nine teams have the possibility of relegation, involved in Leeds United, Blackburn, West Ham United Team, Everton and so on should not sound like the name of a relegation team.


    This season''s Premier League championship suspense has become small since Christmas, but after mid-to-late March, which three teams will be relegated has become the biggest suspense, because there may be too many relegated teams, the Premier League A new broadcast contract will be signed in the summer, and there are rumors that the contract will be at least twice that of the contract five years ago, which further stimulated the fierce relegation battle.


    Wimbledon''s popular relegation this year has been a worry-free early, and now began to fight the FA Cup.


    This is probably related to their tough and rough English style. It is not uncommon for a team that can stick to one style to play one season for two seasons, but a team that can stick to playing like this for ten years and does not seek change. It''s really rare in the world. Perhaps it is this unswerving determination that made Wimbledon in the Premier League, although unable to touch the throne, but able to laugh proudly.


    The FA Cup quarter-finals kicked off at the Lion''s Cave Stadium.


    Less than a minute into the opening, Wimbledon leader Pooh Jones came over and overturned Lampard. The referee whistled for a foul and verbally warned Jones, but no card was played.


    Jones''s face was still chattering dissatisfiedly, spitting on the way back, as if despising Lampard''s softness.


    Aldridge spread his hands on the sidelines to protest, but he didn''t think that Wimbledon was wrong.


    You can accuse them of not thinking about making progress, slamming their long-lost pass.


    You can also laugh at the fact that they are chins on the court, and they can''t perform the show.


    However, there is no set style standard for football stadiums. Some players are dancing, and some players are rampant.


    Wimbledon, a group of blue-collar fighters, regardless of whether they play well or not, they have a place in the Premier League, and no one wants to easily take advantage of them.


    It is this kind of bravery that is not afraid of the sky, so that they violate the law of the capital game of football, and the poor Jingle Bell still eats in the top league.


    Dealing with this group of muscular fighters, Aldridge was a little daunted. He didn¡¯t dare to let the main players fight with each other. He was afraid that his team would be scarred. Moreover, they cooperated with that set in Wimbledon. Not necessarily the best choice.


    The opponent played a long pass, Millwall also played a long pass today.


    With strong attacking and defensive midfielders in the middle, Barak and Lampard can move up and down, plug in when attacking, and participate in fierce strangulation during defense.


    Three forwards, Tony is the bridgehead, Fanny is in the water in the restricted area, and behind them they are followed by an unreasonable and magical sword Phillips. The offensive routines are promoted in addition to the middle road organization. The ball rushed to the penalty area.


    Throughout the first half, the rhythm of the game was confrontation, fall, confrontation, and fall. There was a chaotic battle in Wimbledon''s penalty area, and Aldridge could not cover his face directly.


    It feels like the opponent is not a normal thinking player, but a group of reckless rhinos. It is difficult to see their defensive routines from the crowd, but they are deterred by the rampage.


    Wimbledon''s tactical execution is very high, away, well.


    It''s a tie. Let''s find another time to play. Anyway, we are short of money. We will fight for more and earn more tickets and broadcast fees.


    This is a game that will test the will. Millwall''s players must not be afraid first, and second, they must maintain their faith in victory. Otherwise, it is likely that their opponents will succeed.


    The tough battle was extremely fierce. Wimbledon practiced foul tactics outside the penalty area and blocked it with a body in the face of long-range shots. In addition to Millwall''s bombardment and bombing, the penalty area took a long shot and took a chance. Millwall''s players were mostly It was hit by a foul, and Wimbledon''s players were mostly hit by football and fell to the ground.


    The fans in the stands are very enjoyable. The fans of the mad lion have no hostility to the fans of the gang. On the contrary, they appreciate the spirit of the gang. They don¡¯t care if you play rough, as long as they play like Man, let''s respect you.


    In the first half, six players at Wimbledon received a yellow card, but they held a draw.


    Aldridge returned to the locker room at halftime and looked at the players who were dissatisfied with his mouth. After the locker room was silent, he looked at Lampard and asked, "Are you angry?"


    Lampard took it for granted: "Why not? They just don''t seem to play football."


    He was knocked over at least three times in the first half, and he had the urge to directly fight the opponent.


    Aldridge looked at the other players again and asked Materazzi: "What about you? Are you angry?"


    Materazzi shrugged. "There''s nothing to be angry. This is normal."


    This scene was more common when he used to be in the Italian regional league.


    In fact, there is no "dirty not dirty" on the court. As long as it is not a black whistle and the opponent fouls, then if the card is eaten, the two yellows will turn into a red, or a red card directly. This has rules restricting player behavior.


    "I have the illusion that you started to think of football as a gentleman''s game. You may think that playing football should be like our tactical style, pursuing teamwork and showing your personal skills. You are like a band of singers. Get together to compose gorgeous and beautiful movements."


    Aldridge finished his talk lightly, the other players stared at him, and many people showed a reflective look in their eyes.


    "That''s right, this is our pursuit, but we can''t impose our pursuit on others as a standard, we can''t just complain when we meet opponents who run counter to our pursuit, you can''t say that Wimbledon is not playing football , They are also working hard to show their unique style, although this style is very different from ours, but we should not complain, we should face this opponent, and then stay calm and beat the opponent. At least, I do not despise them, Even I respect the opponent¡¯s head coach very much, why? Because I am lucky than the opponent, I can coach you talented players, you are very strong together, in terms of football talent, Wimbledon¡¯s players are not as good as you, just look at them In the standings of the standings, think about who was eliminated by Manchester United? They united together to play their own style of football, which also makes them stronger. This is commendable."


    The players showed thoughtful expressions. After about two minutes, Aldridge asked with a smile: "Who else is angry?"


    Lampard shook his head first, and other players shook his head.


    Aldridge continued to ask, "What should I do in the second half?"


    "Defeat them!"


    "Very good, now let''s talk about the adjustment in the second half."


    Aldridge completed the midfield adjustment in only three minutes, and then allowed the players to play.


    In fact, there are not many adjustments he can make. It''s just that Lampard and Barak alternately insert into the penalty area, disrupting the opponent''s defense, and then adjusting the way the wing plays.


    In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought.


    Wimbledon is still a decisive look. Their offensive methods are relatively monotonous. They can only start from the positioning ball. The positional counterattack has neither a speed-type striker nor a big boost. Therefore, even the positioning ball attack opportunities Poorly.


    The game still maintained a deadlock. Aldridge paced back and forth on the sidelines. Seeing that the time had reached 75 minutes, he planned to replace another midfielder to enhance the coverage of the two-point attack.


    Overcrowding in the penalty area will not have much effect on the striker.


    As he was about to go back to warm up Nedved, the situation on the field was abrupt, Zambrotta made a long pass from the left and hung into the penalty area. Tonella grabbed the landing point at the back point and pushed the ball back in front of the goal. , Barak plugged in and jumped up a header.


    Wimbledon goalkeeper made a subconscious save, the ball was blocked by him magically!


    However, there were too many predecessors in the penalty area. After the ball popped out, I didn''t know whose body it touched, and it bounced back into the goal.


    "The goal has been scored! Millwall made a violent attack for 76 minutes and finally scored! Oh, oh, it wasn''t Millwall''s player who scored the goal, it was Wimbledon''s own goal! The goalkeeper''s world-class save The ball was blocked, but his teammates couldn''t avoid it, and he used his body to block the ball back into the goal. Wimbledon saw that there was still fifteen minutes to get a draw. Unexpectedly, he made a mistake and Millwall led 1:0. !They reached the FA Cup semifinals with one foot."


    Aldridge breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the goal on the sidelines and gave a gesture to the players on the field. After the players celebrated, they passed the coach''s tactical instructions to each other.


    Next, they want to balance the formation.


    Wimbledon was unwilling to defeat, and naturally fought back, but Millwall''s midfield and backcourt defense players were really not afraid of the impact of power. Ferdinand made a long pass to head the ball in the confrontation, revealing the general. Wind.


    When Wimbledon attacked, their defensive area in the backcourt quickly shrank, and the exposed space became larger and larger. In the last five minutes of the game, another wavelength pass was blocked by Millwall. Then, Lampard In the midfield and backcourt, a long kick is sent to the frontcourt.


    Tony was at the front, blocking Wimbledon''s back with his back. The two bodies fought fiercely. After the ball fell, neither of them actually touched the ball. Seeing that the ball jumped up before Tony bounced off the ground, Directly over the head of the two, at that time, Phillips dashed across the two wisely. When the ball landed again, he stopped the ball steadily and then rushed the ball to the goal of the opponent alone.


    Facing the attacking goalkeeper, Phillips calmly kicked the ball and sent the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal to help Millwall lock the victory.


    Millwall players celebrated, while Wimbledon players dropped their heads weakly, standing on their hips and looking very unwilling.


    Aldridge applauded on the sidelines, half of the applause was given to Wimbledon.


    At least, this brutal team has their own unique temperament, although they are not strong, but it is admirable to allow a club to have a special temperament team.


    People mention a lot of famous teams, they can think of the spirit of this team in their minds, and Wimbledon¡¯s players may not be a few famous, but when it comes to the name of the club, people know what they symbolize, despite the big Most people don¡¯t admire them, but considering their club¡¯s situation, this is already commendable.


    The score of 2:0 was finally maintained to the end. Millwall played in the third line, the league, the FA Cup, the European Cup of the Winners, and entered the sprint stage of the third-line championship.


    The FA Cup semi-final opponents came out the next day. It was Middlesbrough, which ended Millwall¡¯s two-year home defeat at the beginning of the season, but this hatred, they had already reported in the second half of the league. In the confrontation, Millwall won three goals. Now, the two teams will meet again in the FA Cup semi-finals.

 Chapter 197： Mountainous heavy report

    Millwall entered the track of the third-line championship. The atmosphere in the team was very good. The opportunities for substitute players to show their faces in the league will increase. The main players will also prepare for the battle and fight the remaining key battles.


    During this time, Aldridge was still conscientious in his training. He was very happy to see the state of the team. He lamented that this was really a relatively simple era. The players did not have so many flowers and devote themselves to focusing their attention on football. Know when this wonderful time will end.


    The player who most concerned about Audric in training was a player who faded out of the fans'' vision for nearly a year: Lucas Neal.


    In March, Neal finally returned to the training ground. As the coach, Aldridge felt very sorry and guilty for him in his heart.


    With a year to heal the wounds, Neil¡¯s delay is the most valuable for the players. Not only has the skill not improved, but even the physical quality has been regressed.


    The fate is impermanent, and sometimes I have to sigh for making people wrong.


    A year ago, he was the team''s main full-back, and a year later, he seemed unable to even hit the bench.


    Capdevila quickly grew to occupy the main position, and Zambrotta shared his playing opportunities. The competition between the two is very fierce. When Audridge uses the two, they will be treated differently according to tactical requirements, focusing on Offensive use of footwork is more delicate, with a stronger sense of Capdevila, focusing on defense, use the hardness of Zambrotta.


    On the right-back side, Schneider firmly occupied the main position, and the characteristics of Mills defending the strong attack and weak can not shake the main position of Schneider.


    Either way, the four full-backs clearly outperformed Neil who was recovering from a serious injury.


    Therefore, Aldridge will be more patient and concerned about Neal in the training, and also designed a special training plan for him.


    But Aldridge still owes a lot to his heart. Neal''s comeback is a bit late. Even if the rest of the league gives him the chance to play this season, it is not enough to win the championship.


    Privately, Aldridge discussed with Neal, he will let him play off the bench for each game in the last eight rounds of the league, playing for ten to twenty minutes, and then wait for the Premier League to end, apply for a medal from the FA, also Give him a championship medal.


    To the surprise of Aldridge, Neal refused.


    After experiencing serious injuries, the Australian guy seems to have matured a lot in the past year. The scene of laughing and playing with his teammates in the past can no longer be seen. At the age of nineteen, he began to keep his beard, which looks more like Twenty-three young people.


    Severe injuries crippled his youth, delayed his technical improvement, and even strained his physical fitness, but let him hone his strong willpower that ordinary people can''t imagine.


    He was the first player to come to the training ground, and the one who left the latest. If he couldn''t see him in the training ground, then he would definitely be able to find him at the gym. He was silently chasing the passing time and using sweat to go Make up for the gap of the past year.


    In the past year, Aldridge visited him at least twice a month. He started to develop a light training plan for him half a year ago, so Neal was able to talk to Aldridge.


    He said frankly: This year''s Millwall championship has nothing to do with me, I don''t deserve the championship medal!


    Objectively speaking, his words are fair.


    Judging from the outside, naturally, Neil will not be considered to have contributed anything to Millwall''s league title.


    Aldrich¡¯s proposal is only human, he cannot be as ruthless as bystanders, especially when treating his players.


    Kenil thanked Aldridge for his care, but also had his own self-esteem.


    He even used Aldrich''s original rhetoric to refute: I am not mixing the title here.


    Like David Batty, who played for Blackburn two years ago, he refused to receive the Premier League medal because he was injured most of the time and did not play. The honor is good, but the player¡¯s strong self-esteem makes them want to earn their honor. .


    In this regard, Aldridge can only continue to maintain the attitude of encouragement and support for Neal, but also warned him not to over-training and exceeding the physical load.


    Neal''s strong will made Audridge very admired. Before the weekend league start, Audridge was thinking about the summer player renewal plan in the office.


    Veteran and absolute main players in teams like Larsson, Nedved, Southgate, Makelele, Schneider, Trezeguet, etc. are required to renew their salary and renew their contracts.


    At the same time, Pirlo, Shevchenko, Capdevila and other players who have established a solid footing this season also need to renew their contracts, and their salary will be ranked third in the team.


    Aldridge has a pyramid-like structure of the team''s salary structure.


    At the top are Southgate, Nedved, and Larson.


    One is the status of the team, the other is that he will not only value the offensive players, there are representatives in all three lines, and the third is that they have the longest playing time. This is the qualification of the team, and they reflect their team¡¯s effectiveness through the playing time. The sense of belonging is partly a reward for loyalty, and Aldridge also intends to add loyalty clauses to each player in the new contract.


    For example, if Nedved played for the team for more than 5 years, he will receive a one million pounds per season award in the sixth year, playing for more than ten years, and then 1.5 million pounds per year. If he retires from the club, On the day of retirement, Millwall was willing to pay a loyalty bonus of five million pounds!


    Although talking about money is vulgar, the capitalization trend of football has already been reflected, and the rapid growth of the football bubble is the best evidence.


    Millwall can¡¯t get the Premier League¡¯s top salary for the players now, but Aldridge still played a little care in the contract, and the loyalty clause can be counted as one. For example, if Nedved stays on the team, then 2000 At the time, in addition to his salary, he can also receive an extra pound of one million pounds of bonuses, which is not worth mentioning, because as long as he transfers, the signing fee given to him by other teams may exceed this number, and the salary can also Soaring, but now, it is undoubtedly tempting for Aldrich to join this clause.


    Even though this makes him look like a city businessman, how can great football be able to rack up his money to win players? Isn''t this tarnishing Nedved''s loyalty?


    But Aldridge can¡¯t help it. He can only overdraft the club¡¯s future. Moreover, he doesn¡¯t want to treat the players badly. If he is a businessman in the market, he will hope that every player in his team will actively renew his contract without raising his salary. Rad... But that''s too chilling, how can we attract more good players here?


    Players in the second gear of the team''s salary will be based on time of play and position within the team, such as Makelele, Bute, Schneider, Trezeguet, etc. The difference between their salary and the first gear is not too big .


    In the third gear are the outstanding young players and main substitutes, such as Elgra, Materazzi, Pirlo, Shevchenko, Capdevila and other players.


    Further down are the other players.


    Aldridge hopes to build a healthy salary system structure, because there are grades, players can be promoted through court performance and loyalty to the club.


    He adjusted Neal¡¯s contract to the third gear. Originally according to Neal¡¯s current strength and status, it must be the lowest level, but Neil is after all a veteran of Millwall. Even if he is not old, his qualifications are there. As a result, he is not gnawing at the club. On the contrary, he is actively restoring his status and improving his strength. He is still an important member of the club¡¯s future plan. Aldridge can¡¯t chill his heart and let other players See how Millwall treats a player who has been seriously injured for a year.


    When Aldridge clearly divided the team''s general salary structure, he printed out the documents and prepared to take them to Adam. The specific contract content was supposed to be started by others.


    Doctor Thompson, the head of the medical department, knocked on the door of his office at this time.


    Aldridge looked at the time and it was already 7:40 in the evening. He forgot the time at work and didn''t expect anyone to leave.


    "Doctor, haven''t you left yet?"


    Aldrich is now used to calling the DR directly, which is a respected title in the UK, because not many people can get the Doctor title, and it can even be said that it is a hundred times harder to get a diploma from a famous school.


    Thompson sat down with a report in his hand, and he kept silent. Aldrich''s heart suddenly fell.


    The doctor looks bad in front of you, and ordinary people will have a hunch that the next thing will definitely not be a happy event.


    Thompson stroked his glasses and said hardly: "Mr. Hall, I''m sorry, there is a physical problem with a player, but we can''t find the reason."


    Aldrich raised his hand and asked for the report in the other''s hand. After Thompson delivered the report to his hand, Aldridge opened his eyes and suddenly looked as if he was dead.


    Dean Richards.


    The central defender played some games in the first half of this year, but he hasn''t been able to play since the New Year because he felt unwell during training. Aldridge gave him a rest out of caution and went for a check.


    The medical department has not sent his inspection report for a long time. For a long time, Aldridge didn''t get an accurate answer every time he asked the medical department. He just said: The detailed inspection report has not yet come out.


    "what is the problem?"


    Thompson said awkwardly: "We didn''t know that he was just a little dizzy and he recovered after a short rest, but as a cautious thing we did a detailed examination and found that his brain was abnormal, especially after vigorous exercise, I thought it was over Caused by multiple heads, but it doesn¡¯t seem to be, because in the past three months, he only felt discomfort after two training sessions, and his symptoms were dizziness and vomiting, which basically did not affect his training and competition, but he could not predict the next time. When will he have this symptom again?"


    Aldrich frowned and thought, he introduced Richards because he was in memory, Richards was a central defender who played for Tottenham, brave, but later, gradually disappeared in the field of vision, he went Whatever happened, Aldridge did not care. After all, as a fan of his previous life, his attention was in the top league.


    "Can''t find the reason?"


    Thompson shook his head embarrassedly. He felt it was his negligence.


    "Although we can''t find the reason yet, our suggestion is that he can''t do vigorous exercise any more, because if the root cause of the disease is not found, once this abnormal physiological condition worsens, it may endanger his health."


    Aldrichto pondered with his chin, and Thompson continued: "Mr. Hall, I know the club spent money on the introduction of Richards and gave him a lot of salary, but first he was a person, then It¡¯s the players. If the club insists on letting him engage in the fierce sport of football, which eventually leads to irreparable consequences, then this is an act that the entire society cannot forgive."


    Aldridge waved his hand and said: "I know, I''m just thinking about how to tell him that I don''t want to be a chap, but you may not understand that for many players, playing football is their life, even Ideals have nothing to do with survival."


    Thompson froze for a moment, then nodded and said: "If you think like this, I''m relieved. In addition, I hope the club can let Richards stay in the medical department, we will try our best to follow his strange disease, even if it can''t Find a cure, at least, let him get the best care."


    Aldridge agreed with a long sigh, and when Thompson left, he held the medical report in his hand and felt heavier than a mountain.

 Chapter 198： How hard life is

    In a secluded community in East London, Dean Richards and his wife Samantha lived in one of the apartments. When he came to Millwall, the club¡¯s community had not been built, and he did not choose the club. Free apartment, but save money, and hope to move to a more upscale community with his wife in the future.


    After dinner, Samantha was washing the dishes and Richards was sitting on the sofa watching TV. He was in a bad mood recently.


    This year he has fewer and fewer opportunities to play on the team. Originally, in recent months, the team has rotated a lot. It was his turn to perform, but because of a dizziness after training, he went to the doctor of the medical department. He couldn''t even enter the bench list.


    He now regrets that those doctors advised him not to race and wait for medical reports.


    He was very dissatisfied, but it was dizzy, is this normal? It can only show that he is training too hard.


    However, the other players worked hard again, and then his body will be extremely tired, but he was dizzy. After two and a half months, there was a physical reaction to vomiting, and Richards did not think there was too much problem. This kind of thing is on the court. It''s not uncommon.


    When Aldrich knocked on the door of his house with a calm expression, Richards was taken aback. At this time, the head coach personally came to the door. He must be talking about some very important topics. The first thing he thought of was: I want to be Sold!


    After all, in the position of central defender, his competitors are getting better and better. Elgra is the first choice for the bench, and then Materazzi. Now he is reduced to competing with Ferdinand.


    Did the days in Millwall come to an end?


    Samantha poured water for Aldridge. Aldridge remained silent after sitting down and looked at this ordinary small apartment. After a long time, he whispered: "Dean, can we talk in private?"


    Richards thought pessimistically: Sure enough, I was going to sell me!


    Samantha probably thought of this, too, and suddenly lost her mood, and walked back to the bedroom with a slightly worried expression.


    They certainly don¡¯t want to leave. Richards firmly believes that his stay in Millwall will have a promising future. As long as the coach gives him more opportunities, his performance on the court will surely reassure everyone, coaches, teammates, fans!


    Aldridge still did not know how to speak, but Richards said in a deep voice: "Boss, are you going to sell me? If it is true, you can tell me that I can bear it."


    Aldrich smiled bitterly: As a bystander, I can''t bear it...


    After another short silence, Aldridge handed him the medical report and said softly: "Dean, you have been uncomfortable after training for the past few months. After the examination, the doctor found that you had a strange disease. And there is no cure. The doctor¡¯s suggestion is that you temporarily stop training and competition. If you can be cured as soon as possible, then you can return to the field healthily. If not, I have prepared a new one. The contract gives you, you can stay in the club to choose a civilian job, or transfer to a coach. At the same time, the club will be responsible for your medical care throughout the process, you don¡¯t have to worry about the cost."


    Richards was dumbfounded on the spot, and then he opened the medical report in his hands like crazy. Many of the professional medical terms and examination data, he could not understand at all, and Aldridge could not understand, but in the final doctor diagnosis, use The written narrative is very popular, it is recommended to stop strenuous exercise, because his symptoms occur during or after strenuous exercise.


    "I don''t believe it! This is fake! This is the conspiracy of those bastards! This is a persecution of me! They want to destroy me!"


    Richards shouted out of control and shredded the report in his hand.


    He is 23 years old after two and a half months, and is about to enter the golden age of players, and this stage is very important to him!


    The sudden blow left him irrational.


    Aldrich got up and hugged Richards like a wild beast, and said sadly: "Dean, don''t be so, calm down, calm down."


    Samantha rushed out when he heard the outside sound in the bedroom, but saw Richards crying like a child in Aldridge''s arms in tears.


    "Boss, this is not true! This is not true! I am not sick, I can play football, I can play football!"


    "Boss, this must be a misdiagnosis. I don''t believe it. I''m going to a better hospital for verification. I must be able to play football..."


    How hard will it be to not play football?


    That would make his life meaningless, and it would also make the newly formed family lose its most important source of income.


    The beautiful life he and his wife dreamed of went to another unpredictable turning point.


    Aldridge didn¡¯t want to believe it was true, but Thompson dragged and pulled it for three months before sending it to Aldridge. This was all about verification. He had communicated with famous British doctors and even flew in person. Go to the United States to find top experts through peer relations and make pathological judgments together, but the final conclusion is that this is a rare strange disease.


    There are many kinds of diseases, some are immediate, and when there is a disease to be checked, the cause can be found immediately, and some are chronic diseases. Richards¡¯s symptoms seem to be insignificant. Even the average player will not take it seriously, and it will pass after a rest, but This does not mean that the body is absolutely healthy. Maybe the disease factor only has a longer period of latent, and one bit by one will damage the health. When the disease frequently appears, it may be that the disease is ill and it is difficult to return.


    Aldridge continued to comfort Richards, calm him down, and face this change with a positive attitude.


    But his words seemed too pale and weak. As a bystander, he was very painful, but he couldn''t fully appreciate the other person''s pain. Speaking comforting words, it actually didn''t help.


    After Samantha learned the whole story, tears came out immediately, and Aldridge sat with the young couple for a night.


    The next day, Aldridge notified Richards'' family and arranged a new medical examination for Richards. No matter what, he was soberly aware of his physical condition and was always more convincing than others'' accounts.


    And this afternoon, Aldridge, who was sleeping all night, was bloodshot in his eyes, and he was sadly commanding the team''s Premier League on the sidelines.


    They were a guest to challenge the relegation team Coventry. The team''s condition seemed to be affected by Aldridge''s mental depression. Coventry scored a goal in the first half and created a point in the second half of the bombing. The ball, Larson took the penalty to help the team get a draw.


    At the same time, Manchester United won two goals at home to win Everton, narrowing the gap between the two teams to 11 points.


    There are seven rounds left in the league, and after two rounds, Millwall will also have a direct confrontation with Manchester United. Ferguson will not reluctantly reopen the possibility of the championship, thinking that Millwall will not be able to withstand the leader in the league final stage. The pressure may also be slackened and overtaken. After all, in the last few rounds, in addition to the direct confrontation between Manchester United, there are two contests with the rivals of London.


    Aldridge responded impatiently to the reversing cries that ignited at Manchester United: "Does Manchester United think they can win the championship? Then continue to fantasize."


    The players in the Millwall team are also aware of the unusual state of Aldridge.


    The following week, the atmosphere in Millwall''s training ground was a bit depressed. Everyone wanted to know where Richards was. Why was Aldridge''s worried face?


    In Wembley midweek, Aldridge sent a substitute player to face Bran of Norway. Because of the four-ball advantage in the first round, Bran also began to face Millwall''s strength, so the second round of the game played was a bit dull. , Millwall just got a ticket to the semifinals with a small win.


    Before the start of the weekend league, the draw of the European Cup Winners'' Cup came out, and Millwall finally had to meet a strong opponent in the European competition.


    Defending champion: Paris Saint-Germain.


    Aldrich didn''t respond very much to this. Anyway, everyone touched. If you want to win the championship, you have to fear all opponents.


    At the weekend, they will welcome Leicester Cup champions at home.


    Martin O¡¯Neill led the promotion to Leicester City. The record was very good. Last year, he took over the team for six months and led the team to a super success. The Premier League debut also early enough to get the relegation score, and also helped the club get the League Cup trophy. The young master under the direction of Brian Kraft was shocked.


    The day before the confrontation with Leicester City, Aldridge called all the players on the training ground, and Richards stood beside him in a suit.


    The whole team looked at Richards curiously.


    Why did you come in a suit?


    After everyone was there, Aldridge reached out and Richards stepped forward, facing all his teammates, trying to maintain a calm tone.


    "Sorry, everyone, I can''t play football with you anymore."


    "Why? Do you want to move?"


    Matera asked straightforwardly that he and Richards had been a regular substitute partner before, and the relationship between the two of them had been very good.


    After all, Richards couldn''t control his emotions, and tears burst into his eyes and shook his head: "No, I, I have a strange disease, I can''t play football in the future, but I will stay here, the boss will teach me to be a Coach, this is also very good, when I can enter the first team coaching staff, you have to listen to me, ha ha, ha ha ha..."


    At the end, he squeezed out his smile, but two lines of tears dripped down the turf along his chin.


    All players were shocked.


    Materazzi stepped out of the crowd and stepped forward to hug Richards tightly. Richards finally fell into a runaway, crying and all his teammates surrounded him.


    Aldridge turned his back and closed his eyes to try not to let his tears flow out.


    The next morning, Millwall held a press conference and Aldridge announced that Dean Richards would temporarily say goodbye to the Greenery Field due to physical reasons.


    He did not say that Richards will retire, but if he can not cure his strange disease within two to three years, then Richards has no chance to stand on the top stage.


    Once the news was released, it immediately caused shock in English football.


    Although Dean Richards was a substitute at Millwall, his performance still attracted the attention of people in the circle, because he was young, and the media even predicted that as long as he could get a stable playing opportunity at Millwall, then continue to improve, then After four or five years, when Adams''s excellent guards enter their career, Richards will be an important candidate for England''s new generation of defense.


    However, no one thought that this high-backed central defender star, at the age of less than 23, ended his career. Although Aldrich used the word "goodbye" in the press conference, but The outside world agrees that Richards can no longer be a top player.


    For a period of time afterwards, the inside story of Richards leaving the Greenery Field due to "physical reasons" was gradually revealed. When the outside world lamented the envy of talent, he also praised Millwall''s humanized management because of the reason. Chaz¡¯s strange disease is only a sign. No one can pack a ticket saying that football will affect his health, but Millwall did not take the health of the players to take risks.


    Richards has been a coach in the club since then, starting with the youth team. After two and a half years, he finally found out his cause and recovered to health after receiving eight months of treatment in the United States. After recovering, he announced that he would leave the Greenery Field forever and have been a coach at Millwall.

 Chapter 199： Suffer

    The 32nd round of the Premier League started at the Lion''s Cave Stadium.


    Leicester City relegation is no problem, and won the League Cup in early March, this time let their players relax, Martin O¡¯Neal does not want to put too much pressure on the players, after all, they are facing the league The most powerful Millwall, although it was they who eliminated Millwall in the League Cup, but that game, Millwall was clearly training.


    In the past, the atmosphere in the stands was the highest in South Stand, but today is a little different. Around the stands, fans can be seen holding signs.


    "Dean, come on!"


    "Forever Mad Lion: Dean!"


    "We are with you!"


    ...


    Fans are learning that Dean Richards is saying goodbye to the game due to a strange illness, which makes them feel sorry, because Richards is an impressive player, Millwall entered the Premier League from the Premier League, plus Last year''s double-win champion, Richards made more than fifty appearances for the team one after another. Every fan of the Lions firmly believes: Richards will be a reliable central defender in the future of the Lions.


    From the first minute of the game, Millwall played very oppressive, the players were full of fighting spirit, and their attention was all on the field.


    The slightly relaxed City of Leicester was quickly punished.


    Larson is now becoming more and more ghostly, and Fleet Street has given him the nickname of Linghu. Especially, he now captures the gap between the full-back and the central defender. The impact is even more impressive. As long as there is a trace of neutral in the back line , He will be able to catch in the attack, and then, he will wait for the teammate with the heart to send the ball to his feet.


    Nine minutes into the opening, Larson was such a running position. From the left wing diagonally into the heart of Leicester City, Nedvide straight ball arrived as scheduled and penetrated the entire defense line.


    In the face of the goalkeeper, everyone thinks that the striker who has scored 31 league goals will choose to shoot himself, but Larson crosses the ball in the middle, and the follower Trezeguet kicks the goal. The ball is sent into the empty goal.


    After the goal, Trezeguet ran to the sidelines and took off his jersey. The front of the white vest clearly read: Dean, come on!


    The other teammates ran to stand on both sides of Trezeguet, pointing at the slogan on Trezeguet''s chest, clenching their fists together and showing a firm look.


    FIFA issued a "prohibition order" last year, which caused Trezeguet to receive a yellow card, but he didn''t care.


    Aldridge stood up and applauded the team''s performance after scoring a goal, and immediately sat down.


    Benitez is still a scholar fan. He is taking notes in the notebook and finds that Leicester City has no determination to win, so he chats with Aldridge on a small trip.


    "I''m curious why Trezeguet will become the team''s main iron player."


    "Why do you ask?"


    "Because he looks very general, the skills and speed under his feet, the two key ability conditions are not good, I think if you use Tony, Tony''s ability to play will be very strong, because his physical conditions can make him in the penalty area. The central defender against any team in the Premier League."


    Aldridge said lightly with his chin: "He is at the forefront, and the absolute speed does not have to be fast. The anti-offside depends on consciousness and starting explosiveness. Is the technology at the foot? Indeed, the turnover rate of David''s forward pass is very high. High, will not give me a surprise after a flashy fancy goal, but, his position selection in front of the door, the involvement of running without the ball, the confrontation in the penalty area at the critical moment is first-class. When he put himself The best part can be done, he is the most suitable striker for Millwall, for example, now he will not try to pass the ball, it is not his strength, but his ability to pass back is getting more and more The stronger, give Pavel more opportunities. In addition, there is a statistical table in the computer in my house. I don¡¯t know if you are interested in listening to this data."


    "What data?"


    "The striker''s scoring rate and shooting rate. Maybe you don''t believe it, but statistics from club scouts observing league opponents tell me that Trezeguet is the most efficient striker in the Premier League. Of course, he is not the one with the most goals. , But, do you know he hits the goal every 10 feet, how many feet hit the target?"


    "..."


    "7 feet."


    "70% hit rate?"


    "Yes, do you know how many goals he can score with a 10-foot shot?"


    "This, two?"


    "Doubled it, four. That is to say, if he had a three-foot shot in a game, he would basically score a goal."


    Benitez looked pensive, and finally sighed: "I thought it was your tactical arrangement that highlighted the winger''s scoring that caused him to lose out, and actually improved his efficiency."


    Aldridge said lightly: "David is the least shot among Premier League strikers, but the efficiency is the highest. When Millwall''s record is not good, the outside world is accusing him of disappearing on the court. In fact, those accusing David The people must not have come to the scene to watch the ball, they only watched the game broadcast or video, they could not observe David¡¯s contribution to Millwall from the whole scene. He disappeared in the camera and had been tearing with the running position. The opponent''s defense line creates space for his teammates, and it is precisely his role that appears in the camera infrequently, so that once he appears, then it must be the moment of the fatal blow. The effect on the field is that the two wingers threaten When the center is exceeded, the opponent¡¯s defense will tilt the defensive center of gravity and beware of the two wingers. Then, when the center of attack is turned to David, the strength of defending him has also decreased, allowing him to score more easily and score very high. s efficiency."


    The power of the Millwall front trident is to create opportunities for each other in the process of threatening elastic changes and score crazy goals.


    When the game reached the 26th minute, the fans stood up, and everyone applauded with a solemn face, and the applause lasted for a whole minute.


    Dean Richards¡¯ jersey number is 26, and fans spontaneously use this behavior to pray and bless Richards.


    Aldridge also took the initiative to stand up and applaud at this moment, followed by other coaches and bench players.


    The live broadcast shot swept the audience, and the game commentator lamented.


    Millwall has left countless classic games this season, double-arsenal Arsenal, double-living Liverpool, and six away goals to defeat Manchester United. They are unstoppable. They have left countless classic moments. And today, they have Created a touching scene.


    Just three minutes after the applause of the fans stopped, Schneider assisted on the right and made a diagonal pass to the penalty area. Larson outscored the ball and put the ball into the goal. The score expanded to 2: 0.


    Larsson after scoring a goal urged his teammates not to stop him, he ran to the bench, took the jersey thrown by Materazzi and held it high.


    That''s Richards No. 26 jersey.


    The applause from the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium sounded again, and it couldn¡¯t stop.


    The fans were moved.


    They can hardly imagine how united the mad lions are now.


    Witnessing the disintegration of the Blackburn mercenary team, they were very afraid of Millwall¡¯s success after the success of these players, but seeing their tearful actions on the court, the fans believed from their hearts: they love the ball Team, love teammates, they will stay here forever!


    Leicester City is not strong, but Millwall wants to withdraw from the league as soon as possible, on the other hand, he also uses this game to pay tribute to Dean Richards, which makes them fight in ninety minutes Magnificent.


    Shevchenko scored twice in the second half and locked the score at 4:0.


    After the game, Aldridge invited Martin O''Neill to meet in the office.


    Aldridge congratulated Martin O¡¯Neal for winning the League Cup, which in turn wished Millwall the Premier League title.


    "Aldrich, sell me someone next season."


    Faced with such a proposal, Aldridge said unclearly: "Will Leicester City be listed before the summer transfer window in Leicester? Otherwise, you can afford to buy my players at a high price?"


    Now is the stage of the Premier League club listing frenzy. Investment merchants use their poles to list in the club, dilute equity and so on. Many businessmen can make tens of millions of pounds of profits in three years. Everton, Aspen Don Villa, Manchester United and so on are typical.


    There is also outside news that Leicester City is also preparing for listing financing, but there is no substantial progress.


    Martin O''Neal shook his head: "Of course you can''t afford your main player, but I want one for the substitute player."


    "Talk about who it is first. Is it Glenshire?"


    "It''s not him. You said last time that you won''t let him go, even on loan. I''m talking about the Italian center."


    "Luca Tony?"


    "Well, I have studied the personnel reserve of Lower Millwall. In addition to Trezeguet at the center, your usual substitute is the Dutch guy. If the Italian does not give him a lot of competition training, he will be abandoned in Mill. Wall, his type of center needs a lot of experience."


    Aldridge sighed slightly.


    O''Neill is right. Centers like Tony must improve their ability to compete in the penalty area through a large number of games, otherwise they may be abandoned.


    "How would you use him?"


    "If he comes to my team, I will build a tactic around him."


    The two chatted for a while. In fact, O''Neill''s coaching idea is relatively simple and clear. He counterattacks based on defense, but he can''t play this way too often, too monotonous, and their strength is on the rise. Are they defensive? Not as strong as their team, what should we do then?


    Tony, a strong center, can stand in the penalty area and hold the ball on his back. Whether it is British rushing or penetration, his role will be very significant, as Aldridge describes Makelele: absolutely Players with characteristics will not be blurred when used.


    "But I don''t want to sell him."


    Aldridge was a bit worried about his money. After all, the club was burdened with the new stadium and the debt he borrowed from his brother, which was almost 200 million pounds.


    O''Neill couldn''t help crying and said, "If you don''t sell, he is deserted on Millwall''s bench. You won''t be able to sell it if you want to sell it in the future."


    "In this way, I will lease you half a season to see the effect. To be honest, if I sell him directly, he may not be willing to go to Leicester City."


    "You''re very cunning. I''ll help you train the players. In the end, he will return on loan. Isn''t the tactical system that I worked so hard to put an end to?"


    "I think so, let him go to Leicester City for half a season. If he plays well and you are satisfied, then you can rent another half season. Wait until next summer, if he is willing to transfer, I Also make sure that it is not a wrong decision for him to go to you, then we can sit down and talk about the transfer."


    O''Neill stared at Aldridge for a long while and shook his head with a wry smile: "Speaking of it, you just don''t want to lose money. As you said, if he is doing well with me, then we will talk about his transfer next summer, the price will be Is it the same as this summer?"


    Aldrich said seriously: "You should think this way. If you brought him in this summer, but he can''t integrate into Leicester City, then your transfer is a failure. Rent first and buy at least you I have the bottom of my mind. Even if I spend a little more money next summer, I feel at ease and worth the money. It¡¯s a bit gambling to spend money this summer. Can Leicester City afford to lose?"


    O''Neill put down his glass and sighed: "I really convinced you that you should be a salesman. Well, in the summer, I will lease him first. For half a season, you pay the salary, the rental fee is 0. How?"


    Aldridge thought for a while and said, "For our sake of being friends, Millwall will suffer a little."


    "It''s a loss of happiness that you eat."

 Chapter 200： Child temper?

    Millwall won the Leicester City team at home, but Manchester United, who has always chanted that Millwall will crash, lost to Derby County at home this round, making the difference between the two teams'' points from 11 points to 14 Points, with six rounds left in the league, Millwall is unlikely to give Manchester United a chance to reverse unless there is a big crash.


    Fleet Street is down to Manchester United: Hope Millwall crashes? You don¡¯t want to crash before you talk! Liverpool is only 4 points away from you, the league runner-up cannot be guaranteed, and the Champions League tickets will fly, unless you can win the European Championship!


    The FIFA match day arrived as scheduled, players went to the national team to report that Makelele and Trezeguet were first recruited by the French team. Before leaving, Makelele ran to Aldridge to express his gratitude, he knew Without Aldrich tirelessly recommending him to the French team, he may be difficult to enter the talented French team.


    Aldridge was in a low mood recently, because Richards''s things made him sad.


    In the days when there was no first-team competition, apart from training with scattered teams, he would go to the cinema alone to watch movies, or stay at home to read books, trying to distract his attention.


    At the end of the International Match Day, when the player was about to return to the team, Andrew called Aldridge on a phone call, which made Aldridge suddenly furious.


    "Has the Manchester United contacted you?"


    "It''s not me, it''s Yap. They went to the Netherlands specifically. During the national team game, they found an opportunity to contact Yap to discuss the transfer. Yap just called me to inform me. To be honest, the conditions for Manchester United are very good. generous."


    "I know."


    Aldridge called Ferguson immediately after hanging up the phone, and after the phone call, he began to growl at the phone.


    "Alex, Manchester United''s season is over, Millwall''s season is not over! Fuck! Stay away from my players!"


    "Aldrich..."


    Doodle doodle.


    Aldridge hung up the phone.


    Manchester United defending the Premier League is hopeless, the only remaining trophy is the Champions League and the second runner-up.


    Ferguson is now preparing for the summer, which is understandable, many teams will dig corners before the end of the season.


    But Aldridge and Ferguson had a gentleman agreement, but the other party actively tore up the agreement, which made Aldridge unacceptable.


    After all, Millwall still has key matches to play in the FA Cup and the European Cup Winners'' Cup. If Stam thinks about transfers in his mind, this will undoubtedly affect his focus on the court.


    Moreover, I am afraid that Manchester United is worried that if Millwall is a big success this season, what if Stam does not want to leave?


    Before they even put the trophy in their pockets, they first finalized an agreement with Stam. Even if Stam still has room for repentance, he should always take care of his face and credibility.


    When the players returned to the team, Stam really took the initiative to find Aldridge and made a request for a summer transfer.


    Aldridge did not stay any longer and agreed to his departure, but he was required to remain silent in front of the media.


    The strong twisted melon is not sweet. It was retained last year. The mentor and apprentice also promised. If Stam still thinks that Millwall is not as good as Manchester United, then Audridge has nothing to say. The other party wants to wear the Red Devils. Robe, then go.


    In less than a month, Millwall lost two important central defenders, one main force and one main substitute.


    The originally rich central defender reserve, in a blink of an eye, became okay.


    Southgate, Elgra, Materazzi, Ferdinand, if there is no injury or illness, the four can definitely cope with the future.


    In the 33rd round of the Premier League, Millwall played against defending champion Manchester United at home.


    Because there is a European war in the middle of the week, both Manchester United and Millwall have both teams, and both teams have sent off the bench. Millwall has only the absolute main Larsen to start.


    "It''s weird. Hall''s face is a bit ugly today. From his appearance, he can''t see a sign of happiness. Will he be too nervous?"


    "Not quite. What is he nervous about? Even if he loses to Manchester United at home, then what? From a 14-point lead to 11 points, there are five rounds in the league. As long as they win one, Manchester United must Victory, they tied another game and can win the championship with a goal difference."


    "Yeah, but why is he not happy? It''s strange that Manchester United didn''t send the main force today. They want to go all out with Dortmund in the Champions League semi-finals."


    Aldridge didn''t even look at Ferguson''s interest after entering the field. He walked to the coach seat and sat down, staring at the players on the court with a calm look on his arms and chest.


    Fans of the mad lion were in high spirits, and huge banners fluttered on the south stands, with the pattern of the English Premier League trophy, indicating that the mad lion was about to be crowned.


    Today, Millwall still plays the 433 formation, but the midfield is a configuration of a midfielder and double midfielder. Gattuso is responsible for sweeping, Barak is partial to the organization, and Lampard tends to insert.


    Larsson and Glenn Charles have two strikers, and Fanny strikes forward.


    In the Manchester United lineup, Aldridge saw some strange faces, including the tragic little Cruyff. After playing three games on behalf of Manchester United at the beginning of the season and scoring amazing performances, he entered the rhythm of long-term rehabilitation. There are baby-faced fellow Johnson and some other Manchester United youth players.


    Manchester United has more youth players transferred from the youth team to the first team this season. More than 15 players have played for the first team, but none of them can gain a foothold in the first team. The Red Devils Class 92 finally stood out.


    Ferguson has already conceded in the league. The biggest problem for Manchester United this season is the excessive use of young players. Beckham, Giggs, Neville Brothers and other young players are not only the main players in the league, but also the European War and the Cup. If they don''t fall, their bodies can''t adapt to the excessively tight schedule, and their performances fluctuate. When they are in good condition, they will kill God. Once they get tired, they will be defeated on the road and the home will be overturned by weak players.


    Ferguson stared at the Millwall players on the field, sweeping over each player one by one, and said in his heart that it was false to not envy.


    Lampard, Ballack, Elgra, Zambrotta, Fanny, Ferdinand, etc., the more you look at it, the more magical it is. Where did Millwall get so many good seedlings?


    Aldrich really has the magic to turn decay into magic?


    This reminded him of the experience of going to Barcelona with Sir Bobby Charlton in the early years. They went there to find some good players, but after watching the Barcelona youth training system, the two said to Ferguson: Go Well, what Manchester United needs is not a certain player, but a youth training system like Barcelona.


    Although the Red Devils youth training has been glorious in the hands of Busby, in the era of the decline of Manchester United, youth training also plummeted. After Ferguson took over Manchester United, he also began to rebuild youth training, and only 92 classes were born.


    Now, Millwall has also created a youth training system that shocked the British. Their investment in youth training is unimaginable. The scale of the Leo youth training base is larger than that of their home stadium Lions Stadium and the club building. .


    In the game, Millwall played more patiently than Manchester United. Manchester United sent a lot of players who did not usually play, which made their players more energetic, but they were also irritable on the court.


    Between the offensive and defensive transitions, Millwall has more opportunities and more threats.


    Barak firmly controls the midfield. Although he does not grow flowers like Pirlo''s feet, he wins in stability, and it is no problem to sort out the midfield.


    After Lampard plugged in, Barak passed the ball over, but Lampard pretended to catch the ball, but missed the ball. This made the opponent unexpected. On the left side of the penalty area, Larsen received the ball. The hot shooter deceived the Manchester United defender just by leaning forward. The opponent thought he would habitually cut in. Ferguson had told him to keep the cut.


    Larson dribbles the ball laterally in the penalty area, but Manchester United''s defender has no one to come up. Fanny''s running position has attracted defensive attention. On the other side, Glenn Carr''s running position also helped Larson. .


    With three steps in the horizontal direction, Larson swings his leg in place, shoots with one foot, the ball traverses the wonderful arc and hangs at the dead end of the goal.


    "Beautiful goal, the 33rd goal of the Larsen League!"


    Aldridge was motionless in his seat, but the coaches and players beside him rushed out excitedly.


    As long as this victory is won, the gap between their points and Manchester United will widen to 17 points, crowning the Premier League laurels five rounds in advance!


    Aldridge thinks more. Larsen¡¯s goal just now reflects his personal skills. After observing the situation, he drew laterally and pulled out a space-accurate shot outside the penalty area. The shot was very beautiful, and This is exactly the best way for the top winger to break the goal, cross the middle and pull out the space when he suddenly kicks the shot.


    He had to admit that the alarm that Najib sounded to him last year was too important.


    During this year, Larson''s skill is still rising, and with the scientific advanced training mode, he is better than Larson in history.


    Originally playing for the Celtics, Larson was a player who scored 30+ goals per season, and also experienced a broken leg!


    At Millwall, he improved faster and became better during the same period, which was inseparable from the efforts of his coaching staff.


    The Glenshire on the other side has also improved quickly. Although the breakthrough technology is still the trick, the speed is hard to eat, but it has matured in route selection and timing, and the shooting link has also been improved. At least it will not be too outrageous. Too.


    After Manchester United counterattacked for a while, Millwall counterattacked and collapsed after a wave of sidewalks. Glenn Carr drove the ball into the penalty area and made a cross to give Fanny an assist.


    In the first half, Millwall led by two goals. In the second half, Manchester United was unable to resist. Fanny was knocked to the ground by goalkeeper Vandergut in the penalty area. The referee awarded a penalty. Larson calmly penalized the penalty and finally locked the score. At 3:0.


    This season, Millwall completed a double kill against the traditional three giants of England, and crowned the Premier League five rounds in advance.


    At the end of the game, the fans in the stands were weeping, cheering for the players, and reluctant to leave for a long time.


    Players and coaches also rushed into the field and celebrated with joy.


    Audridge''s expression was unsteady throughout the game. When the final whistle sounded, he got up and walked to Ferguson. Before the two approached, Ferguson said first: "Congratulations, Premier League champion."


    Aldridge''s expression remained unchanged, and he grasped the right hand with Ferguson and then released it, turning to go.


    Ferguson frowned: "Aldrich, don''t play with children''s temper."


    Aldrich Horan turned around and said angrily: "It''s not a child''s temper! It''s Manchester United''s **** contempt for Millwall! It''s your lack of respect for me! If you don''t respect the agreement, don''t talk to me!"


    Ferguson''s face was sullen and he said in a deep voice: "Yap hopes to join Manchester United, it''s that simple."


    "This is your answer? Very good, 15 million pounds! I don''t let anyone lose one penny! Even if you instigate my players to make trouble with me, that''s fine, I will agree on the last day of the transfer window Let go!"


    Aldridge turned around and walked into the player channel after he finished. He would give players and coaches time to celebrate, but he didn¡¯t want to join, because there was still a big game to prepare in midweek, and Millwall¡¯s season was far from over.


    Ferguson''s face was blue, and he didn''t know what to mumble, and left the Red Devils disciple angrily.


    Fifteen million pounds?


    Damn it was the world transfer record last year!


    It happened to be Newcastle United''s halfway interception to take away Hiller''s price.


    Will Manchester United hit the same value on a central defender?

 Chapter 201： Airborne Dream City

    Millwall won the Premier League championship five rounds in advance. East London was caught in a carnival. Millwall fans gathered in the streets and alleys. There was a tendency to celebrate each other. When the night fell, the sky in East London was Covered by bright fireworks.


    Fans in the bar couldn''t restrain the excitement. Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, even if the British midnight ban has not been lifted.


    Millwall players also held a party, the players will take their families to participate in the evening, together to celebrate the excellent results achieved this season.


    Counting carefully, they not only created a record of 18 consecutive victories in the league, but also created a record of 31 undefeated.


    The faint light was on in the Millwall club''s head coach''s office.


    Aldrich did not go to the locker room after the interview, because the players were celebrating outside, he went straight back to the office, and then continued to study the data of Paris Saint-Germain, he just wanted to work to paralyze himself.


    Don¡¯t think about Richards¡¯ fate, don¡¯t think about Stam¡¯s transfer...


    Two things hit him very hard.


    "Aldrich, come out and watch fireworks with me! Haha, Brady texted me, they are holding a wild party in the eastern suburbs, and they are showing fireworks!"


    Ewen happily pushed open the door of the office, but saw Aldridge with a slightly numb expression, facing the TV, holding the remote control in his left hand, and the pen in his right hand, and the tactical book on the desk, which was densely packed. Like a ghost symbol.


    Yi Wen''s excited expression gradually disappeared. She closed the door gently and walked behind Aldridge, her hands pressed against his shoulder. The picture on the TV was already snowed, and Aldridge stared at the TV like this. His teeth were full of unwillingness.


    "what happened?"


    "Manchester United wants Stam, Stam has decided to leave in the summer."


    "Are you sad?"


    "No, I''m not reconciled! Fuck! What point do I miss Ferguson? What point does Millwall fail this year? Fuck! One by one, Thuram, Pire, now Stam, Fuck ! In their eyes, Millwall is not good enough for them! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"


    boom.


    Aldridge dropped the pen in his hand on the opposite wall, and then closed his eyes with his head in his hands, and Yiwen could not see his greasy expression, full of resentment!


    He paid!


    He really gave everything he could!


    When others were entangled with the love and hatred of women at his age, he put his time on the team. He only left when he needed a rest. He devoted all his energy to the team.


    The team is in the Premier League this season, and the club has also shown its ambitions. The new stadium is under construction. Within five years, Millwall will become the most dazzling team in London, and even the most watched team in England.


    But someone still has to leave, or someone abandons him without any nostalgia!


    Aldridge would like to ask Stam face to face: What do you get when you go to Manchester United? In addition to **** money, other Millwall can give you!


    Unlike Solskjaer, Vieira, and even Phillips, who also proposed a transfer this season, Aldridge owes them a heart. After all, they have strength, but they have no place in Millwall, and Aldridge does not want to delay them. My career is to send them away with blessings.


    Even if Thuram left last year, Aldridge has no emotions at all, because Serie A and the Premier League are not comparable. It is not that Serie A has left the Premier League a few streets, but it is originally two different leagues, Serie A is stronger. indisputable.


    But Arsenal, Manchester United and Millwall are in the same league, they are very intuitively comparable, Piret left, Aldridge believes that the other party lacks respect for the club, Stam¡¯s departure makes Aldridge feel Was humiliated.


    Not only him, but also Millwall Club.


    What about winning five rounds in advance?


    Once Manchester United threw an olive branch, the main players immediately prepared to pack their luggage and take a plane to Manchester. It seemed to tell the world that Millwall had a championship and was still a small cock. Even if Manchester United such a big player does not have a championship, it is the top player yearning. Stage.


    If it wasn''t the people around him that were Yiwen, Aldridge wouldn''t be so disoriented.


    Yiwen bent down to hold Aldridge''s face, puffed his cheeks and said angrily: "Aldridge, someone bullied us, what shall we do?"


    After a brief vent, Aldridge has recovered his senses, seeing the anger from Ewen¡¯s charming beauty before her eyes, and slowly smiling: "Whoever bullies us, we will let him go to hell!"


    Ewen raised his fist and glared: "So, you let Manchester United go to hell! Let those ungrateful players regret it all their lives! They left Millwall, not Millwall''s loss, but the biggest mistake in their life. !Aldrich, you can do it, I believe in you, because you are the most cunning."


    At the end of the talk, her lips raised, revealing a touching smile.


    Aldridge looked up at the ceiling and closed his eyes and laughed.


    "How does it sound like it''s hurting me."


    "No, this is the best compliment to you!"


    Ewen stood up, dragged Aldridge from his seat, organized his suit, and smiled: "Don''t break your mood, go, drink."


    Aldrich adjusted his emotions, tidied up his desk, and finally left the club with Ewen and drove to the eastern suburbs of London. Brady hosted a barbecue party with more than 100 people in the suburbs. The arrival of Aldridge caused the atmosphere to skyrocket. Every member of the roar must take a photo with Aldridge, everyone sings and dances, sets off fireworks, and imagines Millwall¡¯s more brilliant future.


    ...


    The European battle reignited, Millwall won the championship in advance, and completely withdrew from the league. The remaining key battles, the domestic FA Cup semi-final, two rounds of the European war face Paris Saint-Germain, after these three games, if they go well Pass, then the rest is the final in May!


    In the first round of the European Winners Cup semi-finals, Millwall played away and came to the French capital one day earlier than expected. On the evening of Tuesday, a total of 44 players from the Millwall first team and youth team plus the coaching staff and accompanying The staff airborne in Paris.


    The youth team opened low and walked high in Norway last month. The first game was bloodbathed by the Bran youth team. After the two friendly matches, it was hearty. So in the confrontation with Paris Saint-Germain, Aldridge also contacted the French club. The friendly match of the youth team, so that the boys in the team can have more opportunities to exercise, also came to meet the world.


    Compared to last month¡¯s European tour, the time was tight. This time in Paris, Aldridge led the team one day earlier. After getting off the plane, the team leader took the luggage to the hotel. He took the players on the streets of Paris. Hanging out, he has been here before and has some impressions of this dream city, so they do not need a guide.


    Dinner in an upscale restaurant that is very good in Aldridge¡¯s memory. In the evening, they visited famous places. The players also bought some souvenirs for their family or friends. The young men of the youth team were even more excited and took photos together along the way. .


    After a night of shopping and letting the players relax, the players went back to the hotel to rest honestly. They could rest for half a day the next day. In the afternoon, they would familiarize themselves with the venue. Then they would spend another day simply training to warm up and play in the evening.


    The day before the game, Aldridge led the team to adapt to the venue at the Prince Park stadium. At the same time, he attended the official press conference held in Paris.


    Because he understands French, he did not encounter difficulties in communication at the press conference. For him, this is a positive image that proves that players from different languages ??have no difficulty in communicating directly with him, nor are they facing reporters. Will be left out, from the perspective of publicity, Aldridge is the kind of people the media likes.


    "Millwall won the Premier League five rounds in advance and set a record of 31 undefeated games. Next, will you focus on the European War? Do you think Millwall''s strength can win the trophy?"


    Facing a French reporter, Aldridge replied in a low-key way: "The game was played one by one, now it is only a semi-final, it seems to be very close to the championship trophy, but maybe it will be another situation after 90 minutes. In particular, we are facing defending champions. They have excellent coaches and players and are hot champions because they have more experience than us."


    "I heard that you know Coach Fernandez. In an earlier interview, he spoke highly of you, thinking that it was you who turned Millwall into the top team in the Premier League. He warned the members of Paris Saint-Germain if you despise you. , Then they will say goodbye to the finals. Do you think he is a psychological battle?"


    Aldrich said: "Yes, we know, I really appreciate Fernandez''s head coach, he is just doing his job well, his team is very strong, so he wants to avoid the team''s underestimation of the enemy and replace me with him , I will do the same."


    "Who do you think is better compared to him? We see that many British media use words like tactical seekers or skywalkers when evaluating you, thinking that you will always be in lineup There is a whimsy for the team to win, at least in this regard, who is better with Fernandez? You must have known the tactical play of Paris Saint-Germain, right?"


    Faced with this mean problem, Aldridge smiled bitterly in his heart. The crows in the world were black, reporters and reporters.


    ¡°I¡¯m not going to judge my peers, it¡¯s a kind of respect. A good head coach should know how to teach according to his aptitude, and to make good use of his own situation. Ignorant and superficial. I look forward to tomorrow¡¯s game, but it will not change my appreciation and respect for Fernandez because of tomorrow¡¯s result."


    ...


    After meeting the reporters, when the night came, Aldridge stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel suite. At his location, he could vaguely see the Parc des Princes Stadium.


    In this day and age, Paris Saint-Germain is an important part of the French football map and even the European football map.


    Three years ago on the rankings of the International Federation of Football History and Statistics, Paris Saint-Germain ranked first in the world!


    Two years ago, Paris Saint-Germain set the record for the Ligue 1 Champions League group stage victory.


    In recent years, it has been ranked in the top three in the European war points rankings, and has had the glory of the top.


    Last year, Paris Saint-Germain beat Bayern Munich to become UEFA''s best team of the year! At the same time became the first in the history of Ligue 1 and the only European Cup Winners Cup!


    Since 1991, the investment of TV industry giant CANAL+ and the subsequent full ownership have opened the prelude to the capital era for Paris Saint-Germain, which has kept Paris Saint-Germain''s financial budget among the top three in Ligue 1, but this year in history, It should be the beginning of the fall of Paris, and it didn''t rise again in France until almost fifteen years later.


    Aldridge looked at the Prince Park Stadium under the night and envied himself.


    Not this stadium, but the natural environment of Paris Saint-Germain.


    Paris Saint-Germain is the only big ball club in Europe that exclusively enjoys the resources of millions of people. Who are their enemies? There is no match in the same city, but Marseille.


    It is hard to imagine that the big team of this magical city will no longer be the focus of Europe or even France due to internal fighting in the next fifteen years.


    Alas, it''s a storm.


    Aldridge can only sigh so.

 Chapter 202： The starting point of the legend

    The stadium at the Prince Park in Paris was full, and the hustle and bustle of the stands was hot.


    In the visiting team''s locker room, Millwall''s players are ready to go, and everyone sits on the bench with their heads high and vigorous.


    Their eyes stared at Aldridge, waiting for the final encouragement before the game.


    Aldridge stood by the door, hands in his pockets, and the handsome young handsome Gu Jingbo''s face finally changed, becoming soft and turning into a faint smile.


    "Almost three years ago, most of you came to the team at that time, David, Henrik, Pavel, Claude, Michel, Gareth, Bernd, Hans. Other People came to the team two years ago. Maybe you don¡¯t know what I said to these predecessors. I can repeat it. I said that your opponents are Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool. Three years have passed, we have conquered England, we have had several encounters with the traditional giants of England, they are not terrible, we have proved through our efforts, we are stronger than them! But this is not our end, today, I think Let me tell you something new, where is our limit? Is it the European Cup of Winners? No, or rather, our limit is not a trophy, but history, we want to leave a glorious chapter in the history of football On the way forward, we will encounter Paris Saint-Germain, a strong team that has entered the semi-finals of the European War for five consecutive years. In the future, we may also encounter AC Milan, Real Madrid, the German giant Bayern Munich, or other strong teams, but Our goal is not just to defeat them, it is not, it will not be defeated by an opponent, it means that we can stop, we must continue to win, until you can¡¯t play, we look back together See, how many classic moments we will create in this journey and leave it to future generations to look up, I am confident to do it, how about you?"


    The three captains in the team took the lead and shouted in unison: "Yes!"


    Aldridge pulled his left hand out of his trouser pocket, opened the locker room door, and smiled lightly: "Crazy lion, rush, outside is your stage, it is a game you should enjoy, let the world know you, put every A game serves as the starting point of your legend, and keep such a mentality, forever, forever, forever, don''t be satisfied!"


    Snapped!


    Snapped!


    Snapped!


    ...


    Every ambitious player will make a high-five with Aldridge''s left hand when walking out of the locker room.


    Aldridge closed his eyes and enjoyed this moment. Today, in this game, he is excited and enjoying.


    His promises to players are constantly being fulfilled.


    Into the Premier League, shaking the rule of the giants, now, they have come to the stage of the European War, the focus of the entire European arena!


    The European Cup Winners'' Cup was a little bit sloppy in the previous games, but in the semifinals it was quite different.


    In the two semifinals, it was a strong match.


    The other two teams to catch up with each other are La Liga giants Barcelona and Serie A Emerald Florence.


    Millwall is the new Premier League champion, and against Paris Saint-Germain was last year''s Ligue 1 runner-up and defending champion of the European Cup Winners'' Cup.


    Coming to the semi-finals, the attention of the European Cup Winners'' Cup suddenly rose to countless levels.


    So in fact, against Paris Saint-Germain today, it was Millwall¡¯s first hard battle officially on the European stage. The previous knockout was just bullying small fish and shrimp, and there was nothing to show off.


    When the players walked onto the field, Audrey was the last to walk out of the player¡¯s tunnel. When he saw the scene of the flashing lights in the audience, he raised his head and stood on the sidelines to look around the court as if he were standing in Anfield for the first time. The actions are exactly the same.


    The home team coach Luis Fernandez approached him. The two met in Auxerre last summer and exchanged football experiences together, but there was no personal relationship. Unlike the other and Wenger, they would sell Anelka 500,000 pounds to Wenger.


    "Aldrich, I didn''t expect that we would meet again here."


    Fernandez held Aldridge''s hand enthusiastically and smiled.


    Aldridge shrugged and smiled, "I didn''t expect that, I thought we would meet again in the Netherlands."


    Fernandez haha ??said with a smile: "But God only allows me and one of you to go to Rotterdam."


    "Then I can''t wish you good luck today."


    "Wish me luck!"


    "Hehehe."


    After the two exchanged their greetings, Aldridge walked slowly to the coach of the visiting team to stand. His face changed, and he looked solemnly and ruthlessly at the arena, his eyes intertwined with the flames of fighting spirit.


    "The first round of the 1996-1997 European Cup Winners'' Cup is about to start at the Prince Park Stadium. The home champion is the last champion Paris Saint-Germain. They obviously have an advantage over Millwall, who played in Europe for the first time, but they still have to score. Heart league, now they are only ranked second in the league, but Millwall from the Premier League has been crowned the Premier League laurels five rounds in advance four days ago. Many people in this team of Millwall are probably not familiar with it. If you don¡¯t care about England The words of football may not even have been heard a year ago, but they are indeed a strong team, setting a record of 18 consecutive victories in the Premier League and 31 unbeaten league games so far. Perhaps many people do not believe that let this It was their coach, Aldridge Hall, who was about to turn 21 years old, who went from nameless to European stage."


    The narrator took a long time to introduce Aldridge. After all, Aldridge set a lot of unprecedented new records. His age alone, when he appeared on the sidelines to command the team, it was definitely a shocking record.


    When the game was about to start, the narrator began to introduce the starting list of both sides.


    Paris Saint-Germain played 442.


    Goalkeeper: Rama.


    Defenders: Fernie, Ngoti, Legan, Domi.


    Midfielders: Gu¨¦lan, Le Roy, Coe, Lay.


    Forwards: Loco, Leonardo.


    From the position of the formation, Paris Saint-Germain''s midfield is a big diamond, Gailan is behind the waist, Lai is at the front, left-back Coe, and right-hand Le Roy.


    The double forward is not surprising in front, but their four-back system is different from the parallel position. The central defender Ngoti is in front, Legun is dragged behind, one is intercepted in the front, and one is destroyed after the attack, obviously against Millwall Good at preparing for straight throws.


    Millwall''s starting lineup has only two changes.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Elgra, Southgate, Capdevila.


    Midfielders: Makelele, Barak, Nedved.


    Forwards: Larson, Trezeguet, Shevchenko.


    After the showdown between Stam and Aldridge, Aldrich made it clear to him: Since you have decided to go, I must put the successor in position for the team, so the rest of the season, unless encountering people You will be excluded from the big list.


    Although Stamm was dissatisfied in his heart, he took the initiative to leave. Millwall is a young team. He should understand how big a lack of a main center defender is. In order to prepare for the future, Aldridge does this. Nothing wrong.


    Everyone took a step back, Aldridge did not stop him from transferring, and Stam waited for the countdown to open the transfer window.


    Therefore, Aldridge chose Elgra to become the new partner of Southgate. According to his seniority, Materazzi should be on the top, but Materazzi was still a bit frantic, and Aldridge chose to calm down. The Spaniards who have entered the atmosphere in the past two years have not been small anyway. Materazzi understands that he is not the kind of man who is squandering and his strength is there. Who is taller? Everyone has a steelyard in mind, and it is not that the head coach is using people by preference. If it is really by preference, Materazzi is obviously the first choice.


    As for Pirlo, in this European war away, Aldridge naturally has to defend first and then attack. It is not surprising that Barak, who has a stronger defensive ability, starts.


    The referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the first half of the game, and the battle quickly opened.


    Paris Saint-Germain fought a blitz as soon as he came up. The player was like a full-charged motor and started at full speed. After taking the ball in the frontcourt, Lay used his foot technology to deceive Barak. After passing the opponent, he wanted to go again. However, Makelele, who was usually watched behind by the "venomous snake", accurately broke the ball.


    Barak glanced at the elder brother Thirty in his thirties, Socrates''s younger brother, the Brazilian, and the technique at his feet was so delicate, he was just too easy to get off the ground.


    Aldridge didn''t mind Barak being passed by the sidelines.


    Millwall played invincible in the Premier League. When he came to the European Championship, he finally met a team with a completely different style. The boys also need to open their eyes to adapt.


    French football is one of the representatives of the Latin school in Europe. The Latin style has been laid since the generation of the national team Platini. There has also been a Latin tradition in the league. Their football style is delicate and gorgeous, and they are both fast-forward and pass-through. Overall, free-spirited and "sly".


    It¡¯s just that this style of football is still a little too dependent on the stars, and it needs a player with excellent technical skills to break the defensive flaws. As long as Millwall adapts, Aldridge firmly believes in his team. Reason is lost to opponents, what they lack is experience, the heart of the big scene, they absolutely have it!


    Paris Saint-Germain had a fierce offensive but failed to score.


    They are like many teams that Millwall has encountered. The offensive formation is very reasonable, but often the offensive player runs to the position in advance and stops the position. When the ball reaches the foot, it is already guarded by the defensive player. Most of the time, it depends on the player''s one-to-one ability to open the gap.


    Millwall''s defensive formation was also in place. Trezeguet retreated to harassment near the opponent''s midfielder. Larson and Shevchenko retreated to cut the attacking formation of the opposing side''s halfback at halftime. Nedved tour Walking in the half and Barack formed a package against Lai. If Lai chose to break one-to-one, Makelele, who formed a joint defense, would never give him a second chance.


    After playing for ten minutes, the Paris Saint-Germain offensive eased and began to slow down the pace.


    It is this change in their rhythm that makes Millwall players rush forward subconsciously, which directly leads to the emergence of backcourt defense.


    LeGon made a big foot in the backcourt and the ball landed at Leroy''s foot. He passed the ball to Laie in a straight pass. The latter took the ball on his back but rubbed the ball with his foot, the ball changed slightly from Makelele rolled over, Leonardo, who retreated, took the ball on his back, took a step horizontally and then made a sharp change. Southgate did not rush forward in frontal defense, but lowered the center of gravity and pressed the opponent''s space.


    Leonardo suddenly drew the ball and stopped at the spot, just in this emptiness, he passed the ball between Southgate''s legs, Loco accelerated the running position after an emergency stop, and thrown away from Elgra, just responding On Leonardo''s pass, a half-turn to meet the ball was a kick.


    This foot shot hit suddenly, neither stopped the ball nor turned around to take a frontal shot. Butt kept the goal at the near corner, but found that the ball was running to the far corner, he immediately fell to the ground, but his fingertips touched Without the ball, I watched the ball hit the inside of the far post and bounced into the goal.


    "In the opening sixteen minutes, Paris Saint-Germain scored a goal! It was Loco who made the contribution. He and Leonardo completed an exquisite cooperation, Lay passed the ball freely, Leonardo wore a crotch assist, Loco clever What a delightful cooperation to shoot the far corner of the goal! Paris Saint-Germain took a crucial step towards defending the road!"


    After losing the ball, Aldridge called Barak in front of him and said lightly to him: "Don''t put pressure on yourself, just play normally. Today you have a deeper defense range, covering our restricted area, and then tell Pavel, he Know how to do it."


    Barak nodded and returned to the field to talk to Nedved, who immediately understood.


    Aldridge didn''t count in one place.


    The Latin players in the Paris Saint-Germain line-up have excellent personal abilities, and the ability to create opportunities one-on-one is stronger than the teams they have encountered before. Therefore, it is not enough to limit Lay. If you let the other two forwards make two pairs In the second round, Southgate and Elgra, Millwall may be in big trouble. Although it may not be possible to succeed every time, but to seize two or three opportunities in one game, it will be a disaster.

 Chapter 203： Signal, the game starts!

    In the Prince Park stadium, the guest Millwall dropped the ball first, which did not surprise the audience. Even Aldridge did not think there was any problem.


    Throwing the ball is a common thing, and you can¡¯t make it in a hurry.


    Before the kick-off, he made two gestures on the court, one that Southgate could read and one that the offensive player could read.


    Southgate turned to look at the other three defenders, making sure that everyone nodded to understand before giving the front Trezeguet a signal to kick off.


    Millwall did not quickly pull back the post to counterattack after losing the ball. The overall formation is still somewhat behind. The two defenders did not press up in the offense. Instead, their wingers pulled the edge and created opportunities through one-on-one. Mori and Shevchenko, doing what classical wingers like to do, dribble the ball and cross.


    Aldrich stood on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets, his brain running fast.


    Paris Saint-Germain is not indestructible, especially their weakness is obvious.


    That is, the age of players in the midfield and backcourt is either too large or too small.


    Not counting the 34-year-old goalkeeper Rama, right-back Fernier 33 years old, dragged back central defender Lergan 33 years old, another front-back central defender Ngoti 26 years old, but his upswing also compensates for the decline in running ability of the lower back The 31-year-old Gailan, left-back Dominic is only 18 years old.


    The right-wing forward Leroy is 20 years old, and the focus is on making up for the 33-year-old Frnier side on the defensive side. The 28-year-old Coe is obviously a counterpoint to make up for the weakness of Domi''s young inexperience.


    Although the front waist Lay is 32 years old, but he is mature, not to mention Leonardo on the strike line will sometimes take the initiative to withdraw and make arrangements. Leonardo and striker Loco are both 27 years old, but this pair of strikers The performance in the Ligue 1 was average. Loko, as the main striker of the French national team last summer, began to decline after transferring to Paris Saint-Germain. However, the opening goal still reflected his strength.


    Aldrich¡¯s admiration for Fernandez did not come out of thin air, only looking at the set of Paris Saint-Germain, the other party played the value of the head coach, not only the superposition of player talents on the field, but the formation of players and players. The sublimation effect of complementing strengths and weaknesses is the meaning of the team.


    Although Millwall did not play an overall push, he still achieved good results in the offensive changes.


    Shevchenko took the ball to the 18-year-old Domi on the right. Although he was not fancy enough at the foot, he was more than enough to eat his opponents with speed and explosive dribbling. Larson caught the 33-year-old veteran after taking the ball on the left. Fernie, although not every breakthrough can succeed, but his speed and skill still prevail.


    Whenever two wingers broke through on one side and successfully went to the bottom, they always brought the ball close to the bottom line before passing. At this time, there were three points out of the middle of the penalty area, Trezeguet grabbed the front point, Ned Vader plugged right in front of the goal, and the winger on the other side also scored after the penalty spot, so Millwall''s offensive play was quite vivid. Although the routine was monotonous, it threatened frequently.


    "Is this Millwall? To be honest, I haven¡¯t watched Millwall completely, but I have watched a lot of highlights of their Premier League games. Their offense should not be like this on the court. Where did the middle road organization go? Where did the wing match go? Where did the straight ball that threatened the ribs go? It''s strange, does Hall fear Paris Saint-Germain''s counterattack, so don''t dare to invest troops?"


    Not only the narrator, but even Luis Fernandez frowned.


    He carefully studied the opponent Millwall, and really shocked him. He used the center back and forth positions on the defensive side. Similar to the Italian chain defense strategy, he did not expect the other party to not play the middle. The winger really played the old tactics of passing the bottom.


    But what made him speechless the most was that he arranged for the wing defender to stare at the opponent''s full-back assists. This can limit the winger''s inward cut. As a result, the opponent''s winger does not cut the ball and no longer cooperates. The defender passed the bottom pass, which forced his full-back to also withdraw to the bottom line to support the defense.


    Although the team has not evened the score, Aldridge is full of confidence and the situation on the court is as he expected.


    Because the opponent¡¯s full-back could not freeze Shevchenko and Larsen, forcing the full-back to defend, and his winger went down to the deepest point, pulling the offensive line to the deepest, that is, the other full-back had to return. Retreat to the deepest, and then attack up, the running distance between the back and forth, only in your own half, back and forth is one hundred meters.


    So many veterans in Paris Saint-Germain, let you run for a while!


    Millwall¡¯s two-winged offense gradually became more and more popular, which made Paris Saint-Germain lack of offensive support in the counterattack. After the transfer from the defense to the offense, there was a lack of a point. The full-backs were near the bottom line. Larsen and Shevchenko was also fast enough to change from attack to defense, so Paris Saint-Germain could only directly find Lai or Leonardo in the frontcourt, but the distance between the two ends of the attack and defense was pulled too much, which gave the defensive side With more preparation time, Makelele is closer to Lay, and there is no room for the opponent to easily take the ball. Southgate also bears Leonardo.


    Paris Saint-Germain tried several personal dribble breaks from the wing and was destroyed, so he also started to try long passes in the counterattack.


    Coe took the ball on the left and realized that Shevchenko behind him was about to catch up with himself, so a long oblique long pass sent the ball to the frontcourt, Leonardo leaned back on Southgate, and then Taking the lead, at this moment, Elgra, who guarded Loko, stepped forward wisely, and Schneider and Capdevila of the line also took a step forward in a tacit understanding.


    Leonardo didn''t have many choices, he couldn''t finish the ball turn, because Barak had rushed from the front, so he chose the header to make the ball. He consciously pushed the ball to the side where Loco was.


    After he finished the header, he looked down on the ground, and really saw Loko stopped the ball in the chest and then faced the goalkeeper Bout.


    The spectators at Prince Park Stadium held their breaths and were preparing to appreciate Loko''s goal when the referee suddenly stopped playing.


    The referee signaled that Rocco was offside!


    Loko still shot the ball out, but Bout did not make a save and turned back to the goal to check out the ball.


    Rocco angrily protested to the sideline, but no one ignored his growl.


    Southgate nodded at Elgra, and the understanding between the back line partners is very important.


    In addition to allowing the winger to pull deep to consume the opponent''s physical strength, Aldridge is also a strategy to suppress the starting point of the opponent''s attack, and also allows the back defense to use offside tactics.


    Because of Rai, Leonardo likes to stick the ball under his feet and do more actions, then they will spend more time in organizing the offense. As long as they make good judgments when they are robbing, then wait for the threat from the other side. When the opponent striker will fall into the offside trap.


    Time passed by one minute and one second, although Paris Saint-Germain was still leading, but they felt more and more pressure, and the audience in the stands also saw that the signs were wrong.


    Both sides were completely exploded.


    Dormy, Vernier is not a match for Shevchenko and Larsen at all.


    Fortunately, the quality of the two men''s cross is not too good, otherwise they will have scored.


    However, it is not a way to keep playing like this. The situation on the court is changing rapidly. Who dares to ensure that the next pass will not make a ghost hit Millwall''s attacking player''s head and become a goal?


    Paris Saint-Germain¡¯s offense also fell into the quagmire. Lay lost the magic under the envelope of Makelele and Barak, and the full-back could not attack, which allowed Millwall¡¯s full-back to compress the middle defense. Paris Saint-Germain''s offense was cut and fragmented by Millwall, relying on singles alone, obviously unable to pose a threat. In the second half of the first half, Paris Saint-Germain''s frontline frequently fell into the offside trap.


    Thankfully, the first half is over.


    Fans hope Fernandez will make some adjustments in the second half to improve their defense and offense.


    There are only less than three thousand mad lions fans coming from afar in London. They are drowning in the stands of the Prince Park Stadium and have anxiety on their faces.


    The team fell behind, which made them very upset.


    At halftime, in the locker room, Aldridge gave Nedved special tactics for the second half.


    "Pavel, according to our offensive direction, you have to do more activities on the corresponding side. No matter on the left or the right, you have to go to meet Henrik and Andre, and intersect the offense by interspersing the running position, which will reduce We threaten directly in front of our goal, it doesn¡¯t matter, when the game reaches 60 minutes, I will give you a signal, when it is time for us to rule this stadium!"


    The team lags behind, but the players are full of spirits, and their spirits are still full of spirits. Nedved nodded firmly and shouted: "I know!"


    In the second half, the two sides changed sides and played again. Millwall''s offensive routines remained unchanged. Paris Saint-Germain was still breathless, and no obvious changes were made. After all, Fernandes''s moves are not much, and the team leads. Halftime also prevented the opponent''s offense, he did not want to mess with himself.


    In the second half, Nedved moved from directly threatening the opponent''s goal to attacking.


    His extensive running in the frontcourt, playing with Larson and Shevchenko on the side of the counter, made Millwall''s offense very smooth, but the threat in front of the goal was reduced, resulting in Millwall''s attack. Minute.


    Aldrich stood on the sidelines, and his focus was not on his own players, but on every Paris Saint-Germain player.


    Those veterans in their thirties were breathless from the start of the second half. Even if they were defending in the backcourt, they rushed back and forth and stopped running back and forth.


    Most of the old and strong players know how to allocate physical fitness reasonably, especially when the game is flexible. When their team is attacking, the defensive player can rest for a while without assisting, but Millwall can repeatedly hit the wing and defend. Players can only struggle back and forth, often within twenty seconds of a siege, Millwall''s offense is coming to the city, which leaves them no time to breathe.


    Aldrich is most concerned about the other two players, right-wing forward Leroy and left-back Domi. These two players, 20 and 18 years old, are about to be crushed!


    Le Roy assists Fernier to defend Larson, but Nedved has no resistance at all, especially Larsen or Nedved''s speed after taking the ball. He even has a chance to foul. No, Dormy was even more miserable. She was shocked by Shevchenko. A bad foul made him get a yellow card, and his expressions looked a little helpless.


    When the game reached the 60th minute, Aldridge watched the veterans of Paris Saint-Germain panting, and the young players were mentally exhausted again. He thought the time had come.


    Pirlo, who warmed up on the sidelines after the start of the second half, was called in front of Aldridge, and then assigned him the task after the game, the focus was on defense, and Pirlo did not need to be reminded offensively.


    In the 63rd minute, Millwall made a substitution.


    Pirlo went up and Barak went down.


    This is Aldrich''s signal.


    The players on the court were shocked and everyone knew how to play next.


    Aldridge greeted Ballack off the court, patted his shoulders in praise, and then turned back to look at the stadium stands, his eyes became sharp and sharp.


    Parisian, the game is just beginning.


    Millwall came here as the protagonist!

 Chapter 204： There is no way to stop God!

    When Pirlo played, it made both sides think that their opportunity had arrived.


    Fernandes saw Pirlo and felt that the Italian defense was weak and obviously not as good as the German who just came off the field. So he let Lai and Leonardo retreat a little, and the offensive players kept a certain distance of contact so that they could be reasonably connected. stand up.


    But Fernandes obviously overestimated his player''s physical fitness, and Millwall''s tactical play suddenly changed after Pirlo played.


    After more than sixty minutes, Schneider and Capdevila, who stayed honestly in the backcourt, began to plug in frequently. Pirlo was also unmarked in the midfield. The midfielder such as Raj may be able to defend in place. But the defensive skills and awareness are obviously much worse, and the problems of this type of players are also obvious. As long as the first fight fails, it will not fight for the second time, so Pirlo only needs to pass twice with Makelele. After the middle circle, basically no one came after him.


    This allows Pirlo to easily play his own characteristics when organizing an attack.


    The full-backs assisted to increase the point of delivery, Nedvide retreated and the winger retreated to conceal the attack point. Pirlo''s choice of route for the ball was very large.


    In a short time, when Millwall controlled the ball, the ball would not stay too much under the foot of a certain player. The two wingers who had rushed into the ball after the ball had started to kick out the ball. The speed of the ball passing back and forth was amazing. Even the TV Live shots can''t keep up, and you must use a long-range lens to see Millwall''s offense.


    The Paris Saint-Germain players were also taken aback, especially the two full-backs. Domi and Vernier were used to marking Larsson and Shevchenko to prevent them from breaking through the ball, but they looked at it in front of them. Less than two people brought the ball to impact them. On the contrary, when the opposing fullback rushed up, the two wingers simply kicked the ball and transferred the ball to the fullback.


    Schneider came up from the right, Shevchenko took the ball and turned, and Domy "habitually" started to defend head-on, but Shevchenko pushed the ball straight to the right of the opponent. Schneider happened to counter offside and went straight into the penalty area. Ribs.


    Fernandez looked dumbfounded!


    what happened?


    Wasn''t the wing cut in? The full-backs also play inside!


    After Schneider slanted into the penalty area, LeGon immediately rushed and he was also stunned. It was expected that a full-back would have entered the penalty area instead of the opponent''s winger. Schneider took the first step to poke the ball Midway, hitting the door is not his strong point. Moreover, he and Legun grab a point, he is at least half a step, can only take the ball.


    Seeing the ball rolling from his side to the back, LeGon suddenly felt cold.


    Ngoti! You **** must come back!


    Ngoti, who is responsible for the interception between the back line and the midfielder, is really back. He is staring at Trezeguet¡¯s running position. The two chances are equal, but Trezeguet did not give the fellow a little face. , Carrying each other with his body, and deliberately slowed down the speed, which made Ngorti very flaming, the ball rolled in front of the two of them.


    As soon as the ball passed, Trezeguet immediately gave up the confrontation, and then began to run forward to the right, Ngoti went to chase the ball, he unbelievably saw a blonde figure striding the meteor and rushed to the horse. .


    No defensive player interferes with his shot, and the foot and the ball are very hard.


    I saw the ball flying like a shooting star towards the goal.


    The old goalkeeper Rama rushed to the right. His fingertips touched the ball, but only slightly changed the direction of the ball. In the end, the shot that hurt the Rama''s fingertips still blasted the goal of Paris Saint-Germain!


    "The goal has been scored! Nedved equalized the score for Millwall! This is what I know about Millwall. Their one-footed shot and quick pass are simply fascinating. When they seem to be equal, they use Positioning and instant explosive power gained the upper hand. Gaelan was supposed to stare at Nedved, but he seemed to be unable to keep up with the speed of the Czechs. Millwall''s attack shattered Paris Saint-Germain''s Line of defense! 1:1, with 20 minutes left in the game, this score is undoubtedly beneficial to Millwall."


    Nedved screamed after scoring a goal, constantly swinging his arms to motivate his teammates and let their morale rise to another level!


    The Paris Saint-Germain players looked strangely at their opponents, feeling strange.


    Too strange!


    They seem to have changed into a team!


    The play style is completely different.


    Where did the side road breakthrough go?


    The fullback rushed up again?


    How accurate is a pass?


    Don''t you come here to do some work under your feet?


    Fernandez covered his head and sank to the bottom.


    In fact, this is the Millwall he studied.


    But in the first sixty minutes of the game, Millwall confuses Paris Saint-Germain with a wing breakthrough pass, and also consumes their physical energy by suppressing the wing.


    Now that they are playing team-by-team with the rapid advancement, the players of Paris Saint-Germain obviously can''t keep up with the rhythm in running.


    Things on the court are very subtle.


    If Millwall played the procrastination organization that they were good at the opening, and if they were defended by Paris Saint-Germain after the opening, then the players of Paris Saint-Germain would have more and more experience, whether it is physical or conscious, they will enter a restraint The opponent''s rhythm.


    But Millwall suddenly changed the style of play, which caused them to be hit hard before reacting.


    Now I want to build a fence wall again, it is indeed a little late, and the situation is not good for them, Millwall scored an away goal, the score is tied, this is their home, they have no retreat.


    Aldridge clapped on the sidelines to encourage disciples to continue to cheer.


    The problem facing Paris Saint-Germain is very simple, how to limit Pirlo, they use the classic front waist Lay, defense is a weakness, who will limit Pirlo?


    Fernandes also responded quickly. He transferred his soldiers to a midfielder to specifically restrain Pirlo and removed striker Rocco.


    His substitution made a booing sound at Prince Park Stadium.


    When the team needs to attack most, actually replace the striker?


    Fernandez¡¯s face is not very good-looking, and the fans may not realize that since Loko scored a goal, he disappeared on the field. When the camera was aimed at him, he either lost in the fight or was in an offside trap. No contribution on the offensive end.


    Pirlo is now not afraid of others coming to defend him, especially if the area he organizes is behind. If the opponent thumps, then Nedved has a lot of space in the midfield and not to mention, Paris Saint-Germain two wing players Has been beaten up.


    Leroy and Domi''s current defense is almost useless.


    Pirlo easily dispatched the organization, allowing the offense to launch from the sidelines, and Schneider and Capdevila, who held most of the half, began to release the offensive power.


    "Millwall has completely taken the initiative on the field since the seventy minutes. Even if they lost the ball, they will immediately organize a counterattack and then launch a counterattack on the spot. The players of Paris Saint-Germain seem to have physical problems. They can¡¯t follow. On the speed of Millwall, the British media said in the evaluation of Millwall last season that their youngness made them pay the price of missing the league title, but this season, I think young is their biggest advantage, they are better on the field Running, more active, the game has passed for seventy minutes, and their sprint speed has not decreased at all!"


    Millwall''s stormy attack completely turned Paris Saint-Germain into a dizzy turn, and the wind and the wind in front of the door were constantly in danger.


    The performance is normal, and it can even be said that the world-class player is the goalkeeper Rama.


    Millwall can save every shot from within the goal range. Except for Nedved''s shot, he missed the goal. In the next fifteen minutes, he scored 12 shots and 8 feet in the goal range. He hit the door, he completely resolved!


    Trezeguet shot again from close range and was pulled out of the bottom line by Rama.


    This was Trezeguet''s seventh shot in the game, but he still failed to score. Compared with his efficiency in the Premier League, it can be said to be greatly discounted.


    This made Trezegue kick angrily on the goal post of Paris Saint-Germain.


    Pirlo took a slow corner kick and waited for his defender to rush.


    The game has come to 86 minutes, and the players of Paris Saint-Germain look more nervous. Most of them are exhausted and their hair styles are crooked. Some people even run "smoke" on their heads. Under the light, it is a very strange scene.


    The forwards all squeezed in front of the goal, Elgra rushing up at the back point, Nedved at the front point, and when Pirlo made a short run, the area was in a mess.


    But those who watched the ball fall in the penalty area were dumbfounded.


    My grass, ball, where are you flying?


    Outside the restricted area, at the top of the arc.


    Schneider, who had been cruising in the midfield before corner kick preparation, appeared in that position. No one defended him. The ball was a half-height ball in the air, and there was no one blocking the route. The flight speed was not too fast, and there was a slowdown when it happened to fall.


    Schneider was going to take a volley shot, with a handsome posture.


    boom!


    Aldridge slapped his head on the sidelines.


    What kind of thing to shoot!


    He was clearly kicked, and the ball was spinning on the instep of the ball and flew slowly into the penalty area.


    Paris Saint-Germain players saw that Pirlo''s ball was driving out of the penalty area, and they rushed out again. Unexpectedly, Schneider''s volley kick was actually kicked. The ball flew from the top of the head and back behind them. He hurriedly stopped and turned back, almost not twisting his waist.


    In the small penalty area, Rama abandoned the goal, but someone jumped in front of him and jumped a header to send the ball into the goal. This time, Rama was unable to return to the sky.


    He could only signal to the sideman that the opponent was offside.


    But the sideline did not respond.


    "Lore! Larson helped Millwall to kill Paris Saint-Germain. The game had less than five minutes left. Millwall reversed Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 away. Paris Saint-Germain players complained of offside, but Slow motion tells us that Larson did stand behind Paris Saint-Germain¡¯s defender in the penalty area, but the Paris Saint-Germain¡¯s right guard guarding the far post moved slowly, and he dragged to the rear. When he came up, he pulled Alson has scored a goal, the referee''s penalty is correct, the goal is valid!"


    Larson smiled with excitement after scoring a goal and opened his arms to his teammates. He ran along the sideline and the teammates chased him. Everyone seemed excited and crazy.


    In the end, Larson was caught by Southgate, they fell to the ground, all teammates rushed over to celebrate the goal.


    This goal has allowed them to reach the final threshold with one foot!


    Aldridge jumped up on the spot, a ecstatic smile, other coaches and players also rushed out, everyone cheered the goal for the team!


    The Prince Park Stadium fell silent, and only the fans of the Lions shouted wildly waving the flag of Millwall.


    Aldridge started substitutions, replaced Shevchenko with Glenchar, and replaced Capdevila with Zambrotta.


    Paris Saint-Germain was unwilling to lose at home, no matter whether he had physical strength or not, he immediately overwhelmed the army.


    But after a wave of strong offensive failed, they turned their heads, Schneider made a long pass and found Glennshire. The Danish boy was amazingly explosive, striding the ball on the sidewalk, and his feet looked a bit rough, because He seemed to be a big ride. When facing Domi, he directly kicked the ball to the back of the opponent five meters. Domi turned back and ran back. He just ran two steps and found that someone around him was moving side by side with him. After two steps, he was dumped. Open a position.


    Male Gobi! You **** hung up!


    It was in such a simple and brutal way that Glenshare ate Domi hard. The dribbling ball turned into the penalty area. LeGon came to defend. He changed to the bottom line again, and then knocked the ball back to the middle.


    Trezeguet, who ran out of space and left unmarked, faced this day''s opportunity and calmly volleyed. The angle was selected very well and the goal was close to the corner!


    However, Rama blocked the ball once again, he was only subconscious, because the ball hit his face!


    Trezeguet kicked the goalpost annoyed just now, and now he is completely temperless.


    Standing with hands on hips and lowering his head, he slowly walked forward, bent down and patted the Rama with his face covered in pain, and said sorry.


    Paris Saint-Germain escaped, the referee also blew the whistle at the end of the match. Rama had to be checked by the team doctor, and it was only ten seconds before the end of the game. Anyway, Paris Saint-Germain would delay the game time. The head referee is not afraid of being blamed.


    At the end of the match, Millwall was the guest of the 2-1 Lectra defending champion Paris Saint-Germain in the first round of the European Cup Winners'' Cup semifinals.

 Chapter 205： Undefeated end

    The ability to compete with the top European teams and win on the road has encouraged Millwall''s entire team. It is undoubtedly a landmark game that stimulates confidence.


    After the game, Fernandez said at the press conference that everything was not over yet, and Paris Saint-Germain would strive to make a comeback in the second round of the contest.


    However, the reporters at the meeting did not think so, only that he was hard-mouthed. Even French journalists thought that Paris Saint-Germain did not create more opportunities at home. How could it be better to go to London than go to London.


    Even media reporters who tend to Marseille asked directly: "If you can''t win the league title this season and the European war falls to the semi-finals, will you blame and resign?"


    This kind of problem made Fernandes go angrily.


    When it was Aldrich¡¯s turn to be interviewed, the atmosphere suddenly changed. Most of the French journalists did not say anything. It was just that individual reporters were stubborn about Trezeguet¡¯s splurge of a few golden opportunities, and seemed to want to cause Milwaukee. Civil unrest.


    Aldridge responded lightly: "David didn''t score a goal today, which is normal, and he made a lot of contributions to the team''s offense and defense. If he disappeared on the field, or if he scored a goal, he even defended. I can¡¯t see any figures, I can¡¯t even get a draw for the team. I think, then I will criticize such a striker. Fortunately, David is not. He performed very well today, but he was out of luck."


    French journalists are as black as carbon, and anyone with a little brain can hear that Aldrich is satire on two strikers of Paris Saint-Germain. Although he doesn¡¯t want to fall into the trap, French journalists are shameless, so they will suffer.


    The reporters in England were quieter, and only a few knew French, smiled, and then translated to colleagues what Aldridge just said.


    This time, the French journalists were completely quiet.


    The reporter¡¯s turn to ask questions.


    "Fernandez coach thinks they still have a chance to make a comeback, what do you think?"


    "Of course there is. The 180-minute game only finished 90 minutes. The two sides did not score a big gap. Paris Saint-Germain certainly has a chance. It is well known that our home game is played in Wembley, although it is also London, but this has greatly reduced our home advantage. The second round of the game is full of suspense and variables. We will take the next contest very seriously. If we neglect the enemy, we will make today''s victory meaningless."


    ...


    Millwall returned to London, which aroused enthusiasm on Fleet Street.


    The call to reach the finals was higher and higher, and the sports sections of major newspapers focused on Millwall''s away victory over the defending champion.


    In contrast, the Manchester United team who went to Germany defeated Westphalia Stadium. After the defeat of the league, they and the Champions League were further away. Fleet Street was not optimistic about Manchester United¡¯s prospects because they failed to get out of the league. Withdrawal, in the remaining rounds, Manchester United have to go all out in the league, because their points difference with Liverpool is only 2 points, if they can not get the league runner-up, next season can only go to the UEFA Cup.


    At the weekend''s league, Odridge let the main players rest, leading the younger lineup to the Tyne and challenge Newcastle United.


    St. James Park stadium was full.


    This was the season they most looked forward to in the league championship for many years, because they almost won the championship last season, and in the last leg, Millwall kicked the championship trophy. This season, they have Hiller, theory The above should be stronger, but the result is that they are very disappointed.


    To this day, fans of the Magpies still resented Millwall.


    Last season, if Newcastle United had not been double-killed by Millwall, especially if they could win in the big game at the end of the season, they could not believe that Newcastle United would not be reversed by Manchester United.


    For this kind of mood, any fan of the rich team should have.


    Millwall fans also felt that if they were able to maintain a victory on some weak teams last season, they should also be the champions.


    Liverpool, Arsenal...Anyway, the strong teams think that losing to their opponents is an accident, but they don¡¯t know that this is the law of football. The strong are always strong, but they don¡¯t necessarily win every game.


    Kevin Keegan leaves get out of class early this year, and Dalglish leaves office.


    He led Blackburn to the championship that season, Millwall was still in the Premier League, Dalglish retired to the second line, and Aldridge did not have the opportunity to compete with each other.


    But today, the two have a chance to meet.


    Dalglish took over Newcastle United, which improved the team''s defense, but the offensive quality was not as good as Keegan''s. However, at least in the standings, Newcastle United was only 4 points behind Manchester United, and there is hope to fight for it. Second in the league.


    Therefore, their fighting spirit is very strong.


    As the players enter the field, outside the player channel at St James Park Stadium, Newcastle United players stand in two rows, lining up to welcome Millwall players into the field.


    The fans in the stands stood on the sidelines.


    The season is not over, the team that won the championship in advance to accept the line-up welcome, in the history of England''s top league, it is a tradition that began in the era of Busby Red Devils, when the Blues Chelsea took the initiative to win the first top in club history League champion trophy, and then visiting Old Trafford, Sir Busby generously allowed the Red Devils players to line up to welcome the champion to show respect for the strong, which left an eloquent gentleman in the English arena Traditionally, since then, league champions, European champions, if the season did not end the league as a guest game, most home teams will line up to welcome the champion team, of course, there are exceptions.


    In general, this kind of etiquette, the home team made nothing shameful, but rather a gentleman''s style, the league lost the championship, lost free and easy, there is no need to deliberately deceive others to ignore the championship, clearly envy jealous hatred.


    But today''s parade welcomes to make the commentator laugh.


    "Newcastle United lined up at St. James Park Stadium to welcome the new Premier League champion. This is not wrong. This is our excellent tradition in England. However, most of the Millwall players who played today are bench players. They look embarrassed, it seems that Newcastle The Wing welcomes the wrong target."


    Not to mention, Millwall players really felt panic-stricken.


    The team won the championship. They are also part of the team, but they are not the main members. They always feel that they have been treated like this.


    Aldrich is very stable sitting on the coach seat. He doesn¡¯t think there is any problem. The team honor belongs to everyone. Even if you are not the main force, but no one can wipe out your contribution. He hates some fans to discuss a certain one. Who is more important than anyone in the team, simply comparing the player''s ability can be, but in a team, no one is unimportant, otherwise, you will let 11 main players to play a season to see, can have a little problem at all It''s strange not to play the full season.


    Aldridge had no personal relationship with Dalglish, and the same coach seemed wrong.


    This is very strange.


    Aldridge is such a person, even if Robson has the ability to coach, but he and Robson can chat together, seeing Martin O''Neill as usual, there are many friends in such circles.


    But some of my peers, at first sight, felt that they could not have a common topic with themselves. They did not want to say hello unless it was necessary.


    This is probably the "directivity" problem between people.


    In addition, Dalglish''s Red Army background, it is estimated that he does not want to humiliate the Red Army not only on the court, but also in the interview also taunted the Red Army''s hot junior handsome any personal relations.


    Liverpool, that''s Dalglish''s flesh-and-blood presence. Without the Heathsburg massacre, Liverpool won''t fail so fast, and Dalglish will certainly be able to achieve a higher height in the coaching industry than it is now.


    Looking at the start of Newcastle United on the field, Aldridge turned to ask Benitez: "What tactics do you think they will play?"


    Benitez said: "Kevin Keegan''s offense is actually very good, as long as the overall defense is strengthened, there should be no major changes."


    Aldrich shook his head and said, "They will return to the traditional 442, flying with two wings flying, do you believe it?"


    Benitez frowned: "No? Back again?"


    Aldridge shrugged: "In this way, the two midfielders can fully defend and the offense can be given to the wing."


    "Let''s see."


    After the game started, Benitez looked at it, shook his head and sighed: "But this is indeed a tactic that is more suitable for today''s game."


    Newcastle United really hit the 442 with two wings flying together, two strikers in a high and one fast charge in the front.


    Hiller partnered with Ferdinand.


    Speaking of that, another striker is more tragic. Asprila, who ended Milan¡¯s undefeated myth, came to Newcastle United for a half season last winter, and was finally criticized by the media as Newcastle United¡¯s end-of-season crash. One of the sinners, the media believes that his arrival disrupted Newcastle United''s offensive system, resulting in their failure to score key goals in key games.


    Keegan insisted that Asprila was a genius, best suited to Newcastle United, but as soon as he left, Daglis was taken over, and Asprila was immediately sent to see the water dispenser.


    Dalglish has collaborated with Hiller in Blackburn. He knows how to use Hiller, and Hiller¡¯s partner, he prefers the traditional high center, Les Ferdinand naturally sits on the main force, and partners with Hiller to score goals. Efficiency is good.


    "The players'' condition is a bit wrong, as if they can''t run."


    Benitez reminded Aldridge.


    Aldridge also found out, but he didn¡¯t get up and yelled at the players, it didn¡¯t make sense.


    Unlike the mental relaxation when playing Liverpool, the young players on the field are indeed a matter of physical condition.


    They went to Paris on Tuesday, and flew back to London late on Thursday. They took a rest for half a day yesterday. Tomorrow, Aldridge was a little bit stunned. Even though most players on the field didn¡¯t show up midweek, the boat Lawton will also make them tired, but Aldridge does not mind, he must let players familiar with this rhythm of long-distance running around the week, the body will gradually get used to it.


    Manchester United''s poor performance in the league this season is also related to such factors. Their young players are also not suitable for the journey of the European War. In addition, they have received more attention and greater mental pressure.


    The game is not very good, but Newcastle United''s personal ability is playing a huge threat.


    Shearer and Ferdinand kicked one and used the top of their heads to lead 2:0 in the first half.


    In the second half, Aldridge changed his formation and replaced some players. However, he only scored one goal with Newcastle United. At the end of the game, Newcastle United scored three points.


    The 31-round undefeated Millwall League ended.


    For a team that has won the championship, they cannot be demanded that they have to win every game. Fleet Street has also understood it. There is no cynicism and no need at all, because Millwall will play next week, FA The Cup semi-final will start at Old Trafford, and Millwall''s recent schedule is indeed too dense.


    The FA Cup semi-finals are played in the middle ground, and Millwall will compete for tickets for the final battle at Wembley at Old Trafford and Middlesbrough this year.


    And next, it was the league. The next round of the semifinals of the European Cup Winners¡¯ Cup will be played next week. Millwall, who won the championship early, has enough space to deal with such a schedule. Aldridge did not face the end of last season. That kind of problem.

 Chapter 206： Ten of them, one traitor

    The more the end of the season, the harder the head coach''s work, especially the coach like Aldridge who leads the team and has the championship to fight for.


    Going home on Sunday evening, parents were welcoming the Puskas at home. In the past year, Puskas¡¯ life was very regular. In addition to receiving treatment in the hospital on weekdays, they watched a game every week, but basically did not leave In London, he will be the focus wherever he goes, and Arthur is inseparable from him, taking him as a guide to wander around the city.


    At the dinner table, Arthur proposed to go abroad for a holiday together in the summer, and to travel around the Mediterranean resorts. The Puskas and his wife couldn''t help but agree.


    This made Arthur very excited, he immediately called Barnett, and said to his son domineeringly: I will travel with my friends and get a large yacht.


    Barnett has stayed in the United States since the beginning of the year. Last year, he began to cash out investment in Southeast Asia. At the beginning of this year, he completed the withdrawal of investment in Southeast Asia and then transferred to the international capital market. He met many Wall Street finances in the United States. Speculators, like a second attack on the football field, Barnett withdrew his investment, a reminder from Aldridge, then in turn, on behalf of Aldridge not optimistic about the market prospects in Southeast Asia, it happened that Barnett was in Wall Street heard some rumors that international financial speculators are going to do a big game in Asia, and Barnett will naturally take part in it.


    Therefore, Barnett reluctantly told Arthur: I don¡¯t have a yacht, and I don¡¯t have free money to buy it recently. I can only find a friend to borrow one.


    Arthur didn''t care about those, as long as there were, no matter who he was.


    Barnett quickly contacted friends on the European side, and finally ¡°borrowed¡± a luxury yacht at the price of information exchange, allowing friends to join the financial war that was being prepared.


    Aldridge is focused on work, and there are not many things outside his work that can distract him. Melanie¡¯s hot girl group is popular in Europe, and now rarely stays in London. Most of the time he performs in the United Kingdom. In the second half of the year, the country will try its best to hit the US market. If they can succeed, they will start a global tour next year. The two will gather together and stay away from each other.


    But in the scope of work, there are really a lot of trivial matters that need to worry about.


    Digging the wall every day, not only the players who dug Aldridge, but also their coaches are being seduced.


    Benitez has always had an invitation from the Spanish team, but he has no intention of leaving. Jenson and other coaches from the Netherlands have also been contacted by the Dutch small ball club. They also don¡¯t want to move for the time being, because they think they don¡¯t have Aldridge. The capital, once returned to coach the team with poor performance and laid off, do you come back to Millwall again? After all, they are not yet thirty years old.


    The 30-year-old Najib¡¯s coaching youth team was also matched by the English Premier League. Perhaps he feels that the Najib¡¯s 96 youth FA Cup champion generation can be seamlessly connected to the Millwall first team, which represents his coaching. Ability, although the Millwall youth team failed to reach the Youth FA Cup final this season, the youth league still won the championship ahead of time, plus the youth team in Norway and France, the Millwall youth team performed well.


    The most important thing is to dig away Najib, maybe you can also send away some good seedlings from the Millwall youth team.


    However, the outside world clearly does not understand the relationship between Najib and Audridge. In a sense, the two are brothers, Najib is a brother, Audridge is a brother, but the two have diametrically opposite characteristics. Derich did not have patience with the training of the primary stage. He likes to play with tactics and let some powerful players become his pawns. On the contrary, Najib, he led the team alone with less passion, too calm, but instead to train players Grow meticulously.


    The two were simply a match made in heaven. Najib refused to read all the invitations. The calmer he was, the less he would run away to coach the first team, which would expose his shortcomings.


    Moreover, he is not a person who likes to stand out.


    During the midweek expedition to Old Trafford, Aldridge did not bring the full main force, Stam has been downgraded to the reserve team, Millwall and Manchester United also reached a transfer agreement, since Aldridge and Lions Stadium After Ferguson had a verbal conflict, Ferguson did not have any contact with Aldridge. Manchester United also made a stubborn direct offer of a transfer of 15 million pounds. Adam also wanted to bargain because Manchester United This is the figure for a single quotation. Of course, Millwall certainly has room to bargain.


    But Aldridge directly asked Adam to agree to the offer.


    This offer has tied the world transfer value record. Although it will be surpassed by aliens in the summer, it is still the world''s first worth of defender players. Aldridge can''t commit to entangle with Manchester United in the transfer fee. After all, the price is his own price. Come out, he is a person who abides by the rules of the game.


    The clubs of both parties will keep this transfer confidential. When the season is officially over, Stam will go to Manchester for a medical examination and will announce his joining after passing.


    Prior to this, neither Manchester United nor Millwall wanted to announce in advance to disrupt the military.


    How do you say that Manchester United still have to secure the second round of the league and the second round of the Champions League semi-finals. Once Stam''s transfer is announced, what do Manchester United''s two central defenders think? Who will be kicked out of the main lineup next season?


    But Millwall¡¯s paper bag could not catch fire. Stam¡¯s absolute main force did not appear on the list. Fleet Street did not feel that there was any major problem at the beginning. Rotation or injury, no matter what the reason, was absent. One or two games were normal, but after the scene of Stam''s being decentralized to the reserve team was captured by the reporter, it quickly caused an uproar.


    There are two possibilities for Fleet Street speculation. The first is discipline. Stam may be punished for violating discipline within the team. Second: transfer, either Stam is no longer in Millwall''s future plan, or Stam wants to transfer and turned face with Audridge, the young commander punishes the Dutchman with an iron fist, and releases him to the reserve team.


    This is why Aldridge was angry with Manchester United before.


    Millwall''s season is not over. Manchester United digs a foot. Whether it succeeds or not, Manchester United''s impact is not great, but Millwall will be hurt, especially disturbing the military.


    Aldridge also wants Stam to leave decently, but at this stage, he must let Stam disappear from the first team''s vision and give the team a clear signal: Stam is no longer a member of us!


    Otherwise, teammates look at Stam every day, but Aldridge does not need him. This obviously causes a lot of suspicion. This kind of suspicion spread is not a good thing.


    Before the opening of the FA Cup, Aldridge appeared early on the sidelines of Old Trafford, and there were more than twenty minutes before the start of the game.


    He was sitting in the stands behind the coach seat and chatting with ITV reporters.


    "Is Larson injured?"


    "No, he is just a little tired, I let him stay in London to rest and prepare for the weekend league."


    "Oh, is it to help him hit the European Golden Boot Award?"


    "That is a very important honor for a shooter. He has the opportunity to fight. Of course I will help him. His teammates also want to help him achieve this goal. But Larson is not that kind of selfish player. He is this season. It ranks first in the shooter list, and the assist list also ranks third in the league."


    "Can you talk about Stam? He played the reserve team yesterday and helped the Millwall reserve team win. He has no problem. Why not use him? League, European War, today''s FA Cup, he all Disappeared from the big list."


    Aldridge looked around the Dream Theater and finally smiled lightly: "His heart is no longer in Millwall."


    ITV''s live reporter was stunned. He didn''t expect to get such awesome news from Aldridge.


    Aldridge just feels that instead of letting the outside world speculate, it is better to pierce the final window paper. Ending the public opinion storm earlier will also stabilize the team''s military.


    "You mean he wants to transfer?"


    "Yes. He wants to join the big club, and he is bigger, stronger and more attractive than Millwall in his mind."


    The ITV reporter''s head turned around and finally asked: "Is it Spain or Italy?"


    He felt that in England, there is no stronger team than Millwall.


    Aldrich shook his head: "I can''t say this, what I can tell you is that the transfer conditions have basically been agreed, but in order to respect this transfer, Millwall will not reveal Stam until the end of the season. Next home."


    "It was for this reason that Stam was sent to the reserve team?"


    "That''s to keep him in shape. Maybe outsiders think he is very strong. I should continue to use him at this time because he has at least not left yet. However, I coach the team and value team unity more. I can''t imagine a Players who aren¡¯t here appear in my lineup, as if you saw a lineup of ten people plus a betrayal, which would destroy our unity."


    "Betrayal? Is that what you think of Stam''s transfer?"


    Aldrich nodded and said: "Yes, because he chose to transfer when the team needed him most, I don''t mean I must keep the players in Millwall forever, but we are at the top of the season. At the moment, his transfer will have a negative impact on the team. This is a betrayal. Before the end of the season, I don¡¯t want to see him again, although I am very grateful for his contribution to the team in the past three years, but now , I think he''d better try to stay away from my team as much as possible. When the season ends, he will wish him good luck."


    ...


    After all, ITV is not a live TV broadcast. Even if you get the first-hand hot news, it is impossible to release it at the first time. After all, the media network is still in a blank period at this time, and the mobile phone is only used to send text messages and make calls.


    So the FA Cup semi-final match is about to start, and the attention of the fans is still in the field.


    There are a lot of fans of Millwall who don¡¯t understand, they even put a slogan in the old Trafford stands: please let Stam come back!


    They just guessed that there was a conflict between Aldridge and Stam. Before they knew the truth, they wanted the team to face the next schedule with the strongest lineup.


    And Stam, in the past three years, Millwall has evolved from the Premier League to become an important member of the Premier League championship. His importance to the team is deeply understood by every crazy lion fan.


    But in today''s FA Cup semi-final, Aldridge sent a semi-main and semi-replacement lineup.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Mills, Elgra, Southgate, Zambrotta.


    Midfielders: Lampard, Makelele, Barack, Nedved.


    Forwards: Shevchenko, Phillips.


    Aldridge played the 4312 formation that the team does not often play.


    In fact, he does not want the team to only play 433 or 4231. Powerful teams often switch back and forth in a variety of formations. In the face of different opponents, there are more changes. He always plays a fixed tactical system. This is a good thing, because if you play for a long time, your thinking will become rigid and you will lack the ability to adapt at critical moments.


    Today¡¯s opponent is Middlesbrough, Brian Robson¡¯s team performed well last season, this season introduced a number of heavyweight players, Ravanelli, Juninho, Emerson, etc. They started The pursuit of offense, instead of defending and then attacking, directly led to a decline in their record, because last season they were promoted and their opponents despised them. Before the formation of the new lineup and new tactics, the opponents counterattacked them and also played one-on-one. The price paid for Robson''s running-in formation and experimenting with new tactics was that the standings were stuck in the relegation quagmire.


    This is also related to their private cancellation of the game with Blackburn, which was directly deducted by three points. This is also the first time in the history of the Premier League that a team has been penalized. Even if Leeds United was later deducted for financial reasons, that Also in the second league.

 Chapter 207： Super volley shot

    Brian Robson led the team to Old Trafford. If there are Manchester United fans doing nothing at night to watch a FA Cup semi-final, it must be to support Middlesbrough, except that Robson was once Manchester United. Outside of Captain Mercy, the hatred of Manchester United fans for Millwall is no longer a secret.


    As the protagonists Aldridge and Robson, when the two greeted before the game, the atmosphere was very harmonious. The two chatted for a while. Robson congratulated Millwall on winning the Premier League title and also impacted the European Winners Cup for them. Cheer for the finals.


    Robson was one of the earliest coaches who knew Aldridge. His opponents who knew earlier than him basically did not come to the stage of the Premier League. Even in the League Cup and the FA Cup, the probability of encountering is very low. can be ignored.


    Aldridge accepted the blessing in a low-key, and then the two returned to the coach seat, in the middle position, there is no difference between the host and guest, but Middlesbrough still occupied the home team''s locker room and coach seat, this point Aldrich also Care, no harm.


    It is said that Middlesbrough is struggling in the league, but the FA Cup reached the semi-finals, and they also participated in the League Cup final. Unfortunately, Robson lost to the rising star Martin O''Neill.


    This phenomenon is not too strange. The cup is a hotbed of hotspots. It is normal for relegation teams to come to the FA Cup final in the League Cup. It is not new for even low-level teams to win the championship.


    The game opened under the lights of Dream Theater.


    Millwall played very conservatively after the opening, they based on the interception ability of the midfield to prevent the attack of Middlesbrough.


    Juninho and Emerson¡¯s midfield partner is actually very reasonable and powerful. Juninho is known as the most creative midfielder in contemporary Brazil. Emerson is a defensive midfielder. Both Combined with a reasonable division of labor and clear thinking, coupled with the outstanding efficiency of striker goal Balan Ravanelli, Middlesbrough''s configuration is the envy of most Premier League teams.


    Perhaps they are eager to achieve success, thinking that their strength can eat their opponents at a stretch. They are much worse than people expected. At least on paper strength, Middlesbrough is definitely not a popular relegation pre-season.


    Come to the semi-finals, one step away from the finals, only 180 minutes from the championship trophy, so this is definitely a key game.


    Aldridge just sent a lineup that surprised the experts in such an important game.


    In fact, he is still training troops today, but not mainly training tactics.


    Instead, exercise the team''s mentality.


    He let the "veterans" in the main lineup to drive young players to adapt to the mentality of the big scene.


    As a strong team, you should be mature and patient, and you should not increase the pressure because of the attention received by the game, and then the mentality is unbalanced.


    Let Nedved, Makelele, Southgate and other players come to the battle to give the Lampard, Mills and other players the calm support of the game.


    In this way, Millwall did not press forward after the opening, and they did not deliberately pursue fast pace. Even if Middlesbrough has extraordinary creativity, Juninho, but in the face of the accumulation of many capable of attacking and defending The midfielder Millwall, their offensive formation was cut in an orderly manner, Juninho commanded the team to attack, but played without threat.


    Millwall¡¯s offense relies on the individual combat ability. Nedved, Phillips, and Shevchenko cooperate in the frontcourt. Lampard or Barak take turns in turn. Because of their outstanding personal ability, a pair For a short while, Millwall invested little offensive force but had many opportunities, but his luck was not very good. Phillips missed the goal with a few shots.


    Aldrich stood in front of the coach and turned back to communicate with Jenson. He was considering whether to let the players play a long pass, but there was no offensive fulcrum ahead.


    As he hesitated, Millwall scored.


    Middlesbrough couldn''t attack for a long time and began to make a big push. As a result, he was counterattacked and the gate was declared lost.


    That came from Barak''s dribbling from the middle in the counterattack. Nedvide attracted Emerson''s attention, and Barak drove straight in. He didn''t distribute the ball to Phillips until the penalty area. The demon knife immediately saw the blood seal. .


    Aldridge saw a wry smile at Jenson after seeing the goal.


    There is no need to discuss.


    It''s a good game this time.


    "This lost goal is probably the epitome of Middlesbrough this season. They have a strong strength, but once the offensive is blocked, their mentality becomes impatient and recklessly pressed, and then they are counterattacked by their opponents in the Premier League. The number of goals scored in the Premier League ranks seventh, but the number of goals conceded is the highest in the Premier League. Even if their defense can be a little better, I think they should not fall into the dilemma of relegation."


    Middlesbrough tried to stabilize the defense after losing the ball.


    But the ball has been lost, what else?


    In particular, Millwall is not tepid today in the game rhythm, there is no obvious change, just patiently looking for opponents flaws, and then changing the situation through personal abilities locally, which made Middlesbrough defensive end of the first half After that, I regretted it and wasted more than twenty minutes in vain.


    Aldridge praised the team¡¯s performance in the locker room. In this knockout game, the mentality of the exercise is more obvious, because in the league, you are not in a hurry to attack, and if the opponent is not in a hurry, it is completely meaningless, the league There are points to tie, and the knockout is quite different. The strong side is more calm, and it may not be meaningful to play against weak opponents, but this will become particularly critical when you compete with comparable opponents.


    In the Old Trafford stand, today, more than 30,000 Millwall fans came here to cheer for the team.


    Their crazy enthusiasm completely overwhelmed the worried Middlesbrough fans.


    Fans of the other party also have to worry about staying in the Premier League, while Millwall fans are simply emotional.


    Crazy Lions is the defending champion of the FA Cup, and this season, fans believe that the next most important game is to reach the FA Cup final.


    On the previous day, another FA Cup semi-final has ended, and a team got tickets for the final in advance.


    It is Millwall¡¯s worst enemy: Chelsea!


    Because of this, Millwall fans roared in the stands to cheer for the team.


    Kill Middlesbrough and go to the final to kill Chelsea''s championship dream!


    In the second half, Aldridge replaced Shevchenko with Glenchar, and Gattuso replaced Makelele.


    The formation remains the same, but the play is much simpler and rougher.


    Because Middlesbrough must vigorously press the offense.


    Aldridge looked dignified from the sidelines.


    This time is a hurdle for the team.


    Withdrawing the key player in the defense, Makelele, is undoubtedly a test of the team''s defense.


    Gattuso and Makelele are two very different types of defensive players. Gattuso relies on strong physique and running ability, sweeping back and forth, but there is a big gap with Makelele in the prediction of the ball in the key area. Simply speaking of defensive skills, Makelele clearly outperformed him.


    But Gattuso is more imposing, and this invisible spiritual force oppresses opponents aggressively, which is also a key quality.


    What satisfied Aldridge was that Gattuso withstood the test. At least with the assistance of Lampard and Barack, he completed the defensive task with diligence and excellence on the court, but it was not enough. It was far from his ability to stand alone. Mile.


    Middlesbrough attacked for twenty minutes without any rules. The non-threatening hoisting only allowed the ball to repeatedly fly into Millwall''s penalty area but was quickly flew out again.


    Mills made a long pass from the right to hang forward.


    Phillips, who had already ran out of space on the left side of the frontcourt, just stopped sprinting and sighed.


    The pass was too ridiculous and passed directly to the opponent''s penalty area. The Middlesbrough defender stopped the ball and passed it to Juninho in front. The latter wanted to attack impatiently. Lack put it up and cut off the ball directly under his feet. He knocked the heel to Gattuso behind him without turning his head. Gattuso didn''t stop the ball and knocked Lampard horizontally.


    Lampard took a step and then made a long diagonal pass to the right. Glenchard sprinted from the side to the middle. The ball was brought to the middle when the ball was received. This even brought the ball to the middle. After killing in front of the penalty area, he came a long shot.


    boom!


    The ball bounced back on the beam, Middlesbrough''s defenders slammed the brakes, and turned their heads to look out of the penalty area. Phillips appeared there strangely. Before the ball landed, he jumped up and kicked.


    The ball flicked through an inconspicuous arc and shot into the middle of the goal in Middlesbrough. The goalkeeper did not respond.


    "World wave! Wonderful volley shot! This is Millwall''s super bench, remember his name, Kevin Phillips! This football definitely has a chance to compete for the best goal of the year! Millwall''s striker It¡¯s so enviable. Audrey Hall should give Phillips more opportunities to see his goal. Is this a general striker''s shot?"


    Aldrich was covering his mouth with his hands folded on the sidelines. He felt very sorry that Glenn Charles had a long shot on the beam.


    But the next second, Phillips'' shocking volley shot shot his eyes.


    Aldrich left his mouth with both hands, and his mouth remained O-shaped, forgetting to close it for a long time, it seemed incredible what he saw with his eyes.


    Although it was not a barb shot, it felt like a stunt in a football advertisement.


    Because the ball was first bounced off by Glencharr on the crossbar, Phillips shot in the air without waiting for the ball to land. If there are no other players on the field, this can definitely be used to make an advertisement, especially the shot. Afterwards, the ball''s flight trajectory directly entered the corner of the goal, giving him 1,000 or 10,000 chances, and it may not be able to play such a jaw-dropping effect!


    The Old Trafford stand was boiling, and fans of the crazy lions cheered up and down. Even after the Middlesbrough fans saw the wonderful goal, some people began to applaud.


    "It''s better to leave him. Sometimes it takes a player like him to come up with such unpredictable shots."


    The coaching staff also ran out to celebrate, and then everyone talked about how exciting the goal was just now.


    Jenson made recommendations to Aldridge.


    Aldridge''s face changed from shock to smile, and finally to a bitter smile.


    He also wanted Phillips to stay. At this age, the technical characteristics of the opponent have been formed, but the game needs to be maintained to maintain the state. If he can integrate into the core tactical system of Millwall, Aldridge will give at least 25 appearances for the season. But he has never been able to integrate into the team. Just like the goal just now, it was not a cooperation between players, but he scored the second offensive opportunity and scored by his personal ability. It is difficult to maintain a stable goal rate.


    The opponent wants to go, and Aldridge doesn''t want to delay the other''s future. After all, Aldridge can''t bet every time he uses Phillips, the opponent will reward himself with an unexpected goal.


    The second goal was scored, Middlesbrough was slightly discouraged, and the players gradually lost their fighting spirit on the court.


    Because Millwall did not let them see any hope of victory seventy minutes before the game.


    They just created a few very reluctant chances to complete the shot, without threat.


    In the end, the score of the whole game was fixed at 2:0, and Aldridge led his team Millwall to the FA Cup final for two consecutive years.


    Middlesbrough can also focus on relegation.

 Chapter 208： Mentoring

    The news that Millwall reached the FA Cup final was not sensational. Millwall has been a popular team since the FA Cup this season. It is not a surprise to win Middlesbrough.


    When Aldridge led his team back to London, he was surrounded by reporters.


    There are countless reporters at the club¡¯s door, including Fleet Street, and sports reporters from other European countries in London. They are surrounded by Aldridge. They can¡¯t use their bodies to stop Aldridge from moving forward, but they are talking to him with all their tongues. Ask questions.


    "Is the transfer of Stam real?"


    "Why did Millwall sell him?"


    "What is the transfer fee?"


    "Which club will Stam''s next house be? He will leave England, will he?"


    ...


    The news that Aldridge broke before the FA Cup semi-finals finally swept England.


    The Premier League giants and first-tier clubs are paying close attention, and other top European giants are also tracking the progress of this event.


    Everyone knows that Millwall is burdened with hundreds of millions of pounds of debt on the new stadium, and when Stam''s transfer broke out from Aldridge, other clubs are about to move.


    Is Millwall Supermarket about to open?


    Even the team in the middle of the Premier League is also verifying the authenticity of this news, because Millwall lost a defender, what does it mean? The most intuitive is the decline in strength!


    When Aldridge was about to enter the club, he suddenly stopped and turned to face all the reporters. When the scene became quiet, he said lightly: "If there is no accident, after the summer transfer window opens, Stam will leave Millwall, where he will transfer, and you will know when that day comes. Millwall will not respond to anything about the transfer of Stam, thank you."


    After all, Aldridge entered the club door, the reporters were blocked by the security guard, and Aldridge drove away from the club quickly.


    The next day, Stam jerseys were removed.


    Crazy Lions fans couldn¡¯t accept the sudden news. They were around the club and wanted to know the inside story. Brady knew Aldridge best. Since one and a half years ago he directly confronted Aldridge and asked Larsen to turn. At the meeting, he understood Audridge''s attitude towards this club.


    Aldridge will never do anything to harm this club.


    Even if Stam wants to transfer, it should not be exploded at this time, but Aldridge can no longer continue to use Stam. For the development of the team, Aldridge must let other players as soon as possible. Therefore, Brady Judgment must be that Stam''s mind is determined to transfer to leave.


    Therefore, while Brady was upset and angry at the same time, he and the Roar fan members slogan outside the training ground of the reserve team.


    "Traitor! Fuck off! You **** don''t deserve the crazy lion jersey!"


    Stam''s individual fans may have little reaction, but for these fans who are loyal to the club, they obviously can''t tolerate Stam''s transfer.


    The love is deep, and the fans dedicate all their love to you. When outsiders accuse you, we are behind you. When others criticize you for your poor performance, we loyal supporters tolerate you, Even when other fans insult you, we spare our lives to fight them!


    How can you decide to leave at this time?


    We are at a critical juncture for the championship!


    Stam trained with the reserve team. When the fans blamed him passionately and insulted him from a few tens of meters away, he said that he was a traitor, which made Stam intolerable and wanted to run with the fans. Theory, but eventually stopped by the coach.


    Stam shook off the coach''s hand and left the training ground alone.


    The training this afternoon was terrible.


    Aldridge saw the first-team players all expressionless, and everyone became speechless because of Stam''s transfer.


    Because everyone knows how important Stam is to the team.


    Millwall is not only the most powerful team in the Premier League this season, but also the most stable team with the fewest goals in the back line. This is absolutely inseparable from the contribution of Stam.


    After the training, Aldridge came to the locker room, the players had not left, Trezeguet happened to discuss this matter with Makelele.


    "Why? What''s wrong with his brain?"


    Trezeguet is puzzled and has a complex look.


    Makelele asked in return: "What do you mean? Maybe he can make more money by going to other teams. Sometimes things are not that complicated, it''s simple."


    Trezeguet touched his bald head, his tone still puzzled.


    "We only won one Premier League title, which is a fart. We are going to play in the European Champions Cup next season. When we get a good result on that stage, can we be considered a success? Really **** difficult to understand ."


    Makelele stopped talking because he saw Aldridge coming in and shut the locker room door.


    Trezeguet also saw Aldridge and shrunk his head suddenly.


    What he just said was a little taboo, and it sounded like he just used Millwall as a springboard.


    Aldridge heard that, but he was not angry because of human nature, there was no need to go to the heart.


    Other players took some showers and some were relaxing while listening to music. Suddenly they saw Aldridge going to the locker room after training. Everyone came back and sat down in front of their lockers.


    Aldrich stood by the door against the wall, his eyes calmly sweeping over each player''s face. Most players were calm, and some raised their waists to reveal a firm look, such as Ferdinand, Stam''s Leaving is definitely a good thing for him, because he lacks a strong competitor, and he is still the weak side.


    Aldridge said lightly: "In the past, this was not the focus of England, not even of London. We worked hard in the lower leagues all year round and did not win any weighty championships. Now, we start to get trophies, get attention, we also have The top star, Stam is, but his fate with us has come to an end. The point I want to talk about today is that I can¡¯t tolerate anything that disrupts the team¡¯s unity, anything that affects our attention, and I I hope you all stay here to retire, but I know it is impossible, but I hope that we respect each other and understand each other. When you are still wearing the Millwall jersey, please keep your loyalty bottom line, please keep your mind in mind Just thinking about one thing, that is to contribute to this team. When any of you want to leave, please take the initiative to tell me, I will not deliberately obstruct who, I will come up with my sincerity to retain, and If you want to leave, you need to persuade yourself, think hard and calmly, and leave Millwall to the next stop. Is it the right choice for your career? Will you get more honor in the new club? Or, You will tell me straightforwardly: The new club will make me richer. But I will still say: This idea is stupid. Because only continuous brilliance, there are broader opportunities for making money. This club has made long-term plans, After five to ten years of transformation, I am very firmly convinced that Millwall will become the most successful club on the planet and will continue to work hard for it."


    The players listened very carefully and focused on Aldridge, watching him bitterly smile after he finished speaking, and then prepared to leave.


    At this moment, the door of the dressing room was pushed openly from the outside.


    boom.


    The door hit a loud noise on the wall on the other side.


    Stam rushed in like a beast, and he scanned the room, only to find Aldridge, who was standing next to him indifferently.


    "How can you do this? How can you! Say I am a traitor! I am a traitor? I always respect you in my heart, but how did you return me?"


    Stam didn''t do anything, just turned around and snarled at Aldridge with a terrible look.


    The players stood up, and Aldridge reached out to signal the others not to come.


    Aldrich looked at Stam without looking weak, and said softly: "Stroking your chest, calmly asking yourself, when Manchester United touched you privately, when you reached an oral agreement with them, your behavior , Not a traitor, what is it?"


    "We had an agreement last summer! You said let me go this summer! This is your promise!"


    Stam screamed with exhaustion.


    Aldridge stared at each other sharply, scolding: "But the summer is not yet here! Our season is not over! Your heart flew to Old Trafford! It is you who make things the current situation, you just Wait another two months, as long as you ask you to leave, I will not stop you! But you reached an agreement with Manchester United in advance and in private. You **** ask the bosses and head coaches all over the world. Who will tolerate? You **** trample on Millwall''s dignity, you say you respect me! You respect me in this way?"


    The other players standing aside were shocked.


    They could never imagine that behind Stam''s transfer, it was such a process!


    They also guessed the inside story of Stam''s transfer. Perhaps it was a peaceful breakup. Stam proposed the transfer and Aldridge let go. The two reached an agreement to let Stam go to the reserve team to maintain their status.


    Other players are not without private contact with the club, but they all refused, some are not interested in transferring, some are professional, and some intend to listen to the offer, but for too many of them are young players, there are not many people who can Going to a top club, even if someone throws an olive branch, they can''t promise the main position. Why bother moving away from Millwall? Everyone knows that as long as they work hard to compete, other big clubs will vigorously sweep the market as soon as the transfer is over, which directly compresses the young players'' playing space.


    Stam was still not reconciled, he shouted angrily: "What was Millwall when I came here? League One trash! Now? The Premier League champion! I have spent three years here! My efforts and contributions , In exchange for your traitor accusation?"


    Aldridge seemed to hear the biggest joke in the world and sneered.


    "But don¡¯t forget, when you came here, you were nothing! For whom did you work hard? That¡¯s your own career, don¡¯t describe sweat and hard work as selfless dedication! That¡¯s you Your own life! You don¡¯t work hard, it¡¯s you who ruined! And what did Millwall give you? Here, you have become a top defender, and you have earned the honor that many people envy! I don¡¯t deny you for the team Contribute, but don¡¯t ignore the fact that Millwall has made you!"


    Stam was speechless, the green muscles next to his cheekbones twitched, and he couldn''t say a word of refutation with his fist clenched.


    Southgate came over, and he stood in front of Stam and said quietly: "Please leave here, since you have decided to transfer, I wish you good luck on behalf of your teammates, but this is the dressing room, outsiders Cannot appear here."


    outsider!


    Stam turned his head to look at the teammates who were fighting side by side half a month ago. Although many of them had calm eyes, some people still showed a hostile look in their eyes.


    Yeah, he is already an outsider!


    The most closed place for a team like the locker room is not where he should appear.


    Stam calmed down quickly, his previous anger suddenly disappeared, and he turned away with some sadness.


    Aldridge felt like a knife at the moment. He watched the back of Stam disappearing into the door, and then he walked slowly to the row of wardrobes, stood in front of the wardrobe belonging to Stam, and stretched his hand to tear it off gently. A bar with Stam''s name printed on it, thrust the bar into his pocket, and Aldridge lowered his head and walked out.


    The players watched Aldridge all the way. Nedved saw a tear drop down the ground before Aldridge walked out of the door.


    Aldrich, Stam, the mentor and the disciple who have been fate since then have become like strangers...

 Chapter 209： Sword Finger Rotterdam

    The news of Stam''s transfer is booming in England. In three years, he has grown into the leading top defender in England and the undisputed star among the defensive players. His transfer will naturally become the most interesting topic.


    Millwall officially announced that Stam will transfer after the end of the season, and no other information will be disclosed.


    The news continues to heat up because Stam no longer appears on Millwall''s training ground. Until a week later, Stam appeared in Manchester for a medical examination to let everyone outside understand: Stam moved to Manchester United!


    Aldridge could have kept silent about Stam¡¯s things, but he chose to cut the mess, if he kept covering it, then Stum¡¯s incident would have been followed by the British paparazzi, and public opinion would also surround Milwaukee. Well, if it continues to develop, it will have a bad impact on the team.


    Rather than cover it up, it is better to directly ignite the fuse, and after the incident erupts, the team will return to calm once the news heat passes, and at this time, Aldridge believes that he did nothing wrong in the European Winners Cup Before the start of the second round, Stam''s transfer has already begun to cool down.


    Paris Saint-Germain came to London''s Wembley Stadium, and the ambition was to fight a turnaround. Aldridge led Millwall to wait for work and let the other foot also reach the final.


    Wembley Stadium was full of seats. Before the European War, the highest attendance rate was only 70%, because the visiting visitors were all non-influential characters, but today Millwall is going to play against the defending champion Paris Saint-Germain. Not only did the fans of the mad lion flock, many neutral fans also came here to support.


    Before the start of the game, Aldridge walked into the stadium and immediately detonated the atmosphere of the stadium. The crazy lion fans in the stands sang songs supporting Aldridge and cheered him with applause and cheers.


    Aldridge was wearing a black trench coat, his hands were inserted in the jacket pockets, and his face was very calm, even looking slightly cold.


    In the past week, the atmosphere of the club has not been very good because of the transfer of Instam, because it has been harassed by the media, but the players in the team have unified their ideas and quickly stabilized the military. In the league a few days ago In the middle, a big victory boosted morale.


    Boom!


    Aldridge''s shoulder was suddenly hit, he stopped and turned his head to look around. A cartoon-looking blue lion came into view, which was Millwall''s mascot: Leo.


    Before the start of the game, it was normal for a staff member to dress up as a mascot on the sidelines, take photos with fans, tease the little fans in the stands, and please the audience.


    Aldridge watched the mascot Leo reach out to himself. Aldridge showed a smile and just extended his right hand, but the other party pulled his hand back again, making Aldridge embarrassed.


    The fans in the stands were amused by the scene.


    Aldridge was also not annoyed and was about to turn away, but Leo, the mascot, hugged him again and gestured to the stands with his thumbs.


    Fans in the nearby stands took a camera and immediately took this picture.


    Aldridge kept on hooking with Leo for ten seconds and then let go of the opponent. Then he continued to walk towards the home team''s coach seat. Unexpectedly, the restless Blue Lion caught up with him again, and turned harder. He held his hands and made a dancing gesture.


    The fans all laughed.


    Aldridge watched his opponent dance, his facial muscles twitching.


    Are you **** undercover?


    Did you mess here?


    He seemed to be looking to the sidelines for help, intending to let the stadium manager remind the lion.


    I am the manager of Millwall, not funny!


    "Hey, just give me enough!"


    Aldridge whispered.


    After Leo''s movement stopped, a dull voice came from the lion''s head.


    "Boss, you are so boring!"


    Aldridge vaguely distinguished the master of the voice.


    "Ronaldo?"


    "Uh huh, you don''t dance, I jump myself."


    Aldridge laughed dumbly.


    Unexpectedly today, this unlucky lion was played by Ronaldinho.


    Next, Leo jumped a beautiful samba on the sidelines, leaving the audience in the stands dumbfounded.


    That lion is so cute!


    More and more fans are going to take photos with Leo, Aldridge hummed and shook his head slightly towards the coach seat.


    "What are you playing with him?"


    Benitez asked Aldridge as he came over and frowned.


    Aldridge smiled and said nothing, not because he wanted to play, but was pulled by Ronaldinho.


    At this time, he saw the visiting team coach Fernandez appeared on the sidelines, so he walked over to greet him with a few words of greeting.


    In this game, the two sides tried their best to make no difference with the lineup when they met in the first round. Aldridge noticed the look of the players of Paris Saint-Germain, and they were very firm. They did come to London with a conviction.


    Aldridge stood by the sidelines, quietly waiting for the game to start.


    Although this is London, the team is not too familiar with this field. In terms of the familiar advantages of the field conditions, the two teams are not much different, and, in a sense, the European The battle is very exciting to the visiting team. This is England''s most glorious playing field!


    Millwall''s only absolute advantage is the cheering of fans in the stands.


    Before the game started, there was a name resounding in the sky, and the fans of the mad lions screamed Millwall''s name in a rhythmic rhythm, like a slogan, but there was never a stop.


    Fernandes took the sidelines with an unparalleled aura to cheer for the team, and formed a tit-for-tat against Aldridge''s silent tall shore.


    After the opening, Paris Saint-Germain immediately launched a fierce offensive. The players ran aggressively, especially strengthening the long shot outside the penalty area, trying to knock the mountain tiger and disrupt Millwall''s rhythm.


    In the third minute of the game, Lai suddenly forty yards outside kicked the door, the ball slid out of the door, shocking Bout''s cold sweat.


    Two minutes later, Leonardo made a long shot from the right side outside the penalty area. The ball was blocked by Bout. Loco, who was catching the second attack, was blocked by Elgra with his thigh.


    Another minute later, Le Roy had just passed the midline diagonal long pass penalty area, Southgate came to the top, Loco shot into the chest and stopped the shot, but the shot was not put into force. The ball was easily taken into the arms by Bout.


    In the first ten minutes, Millwall was beaten by Paris Saint-Germain.


    Aldridge was still expressionless on the sidelines, and Jenson even came up and suggested to him: "Let Nedved retreat and replace Pirlo!"


    Aldrich shook his head and refused.


    The reason for the suppression was in the midfield. After Pirlo replaced Barak, the defensive strength had a clear drop in this strong dialogue. The last time Pirlo played in more than sixty minutes, then the Paris Saint-Germain veteran Most of them have decreased physical fitness, but this game has just started, they are energetic and enter the game very quickly.


    Aldrich kept repeating in his heart: Andrea, hold, Andrea, hold...


    If it is simply a defensive position, Pirlo is no problem, but the defensive technical link needs to be strengthened, so that he can block the track of the ball in sports. The problem is not big, and can face the delicate players such as Lai The possibility of being deceived is very high, and Paris Saint-Germain deliberately withdraws the organization area. Makelele did not dare to press too much to make himself appear too empty behind him.


    Pirlo also consciously retreated, allowing his defensive position to be connected with the back line, even if he was passed, it can also compress the opponent''s forward space.


    Paris Saint-Germain must score goals, so their offensive is getting more and more fierce. This is risky. Millwall¡¯s tactics today are also very simple. It is by no means dead. As long as there is a chance, then kill the game!


    Pirlo was passed by Rai again, but he consciously blocked his right and induced Rai to break through from his left. Rai had just crossed Pirlo and Makelele appeared in front of the other side, doing Before the next move, Makelele stretched his foot to break the ball and handed it to Pirlo.


    Seeing this defense, Aldridge nodded and expressed satisfaction.


    For Pirlo''s defensive training, Aldridge almost let the coaching staff guide one-on-one. He can lack defensive skills, but the defensive awareness and defensive position must be excellent to compensate for the technical links.


    This was the case just now. His position was reasonable, so that Lai could only make a breakthrough on the right from the right. Pirlo was passed, but formed a joint defense with Makelele. After Lai passed Pirlo, instead Make Makelele take the lead in defense, because Makelele is waiting for the opponent to come from here.


    Pirlo took the ball and looked in front of him, then sent the ball to the frontcourt with a straight pass. Nedved took the ball laterally after catching the ball, attracting Galan''s attention, and then he passed the ball to Trezeguet withdrawing, Trezege with his back facing the ball, passed the ball back to Larson from the left to the middle. The latter rubbed the ball like a pass, and the ball passed The line of defense went to the back of the penalty area.


    This series of passes did not drag the water at all. The ball passed from the backcourt to the frontcourt, from the center to the left, and then passed diagonally from the left to the top of the penalty area. The transfer rate challenged the nerve reflex capabilities of Paris Saint-Germain players.


    The goalkeeper Rama also moves on the goal line with the direction of the ball. At this time, he moves from the right to the left, following the ball''s trajectory, and seeing a blue figure.


    Ukrainian nuclear warhead!


    "Shevchenko leaped to the top! Rama didn''t touch the ball! The goal was scored! Millwall led one to zero! The total score was three to one!"


    The stands at Wembley Stadium resembled mountains and tsunami. The fans stood up with both hands raised, cheering and applause enduringly.


    Aldridge punched heavily, his expression still cold.


    Shevchenko''s goal worsened Paris Saint-Germain.


    Fernandes hasn''t surrendered yet, he cheered on the players on the sidelines.


    But Paris Saint-Germain kicked more and more discouraged, but Millwall played more and more steady. Fifteen minutes later, Pirlo inserted a long-range shot and hit the defender with a long shot and deflected into the goal.


    Rama watched that the ball was flying to the right. He was 100% sure that the save was successful, but he was blocked by the defender. However, the ball was reflected on the left side of the goal halfway. Dew looked desperately to the left, and no miracle happened, and the ball flew into the goal.


    Millwall led Paris Saint-Germain with two goals in the first half, with a total score of four to one.


    During the intermission, Aldridge still sounded the alarm for the players in the locker room and could not relax in the second half.


    Paris Saint-Germain played another very threatening offensive after the second half started, but they seemed to lack some luck today, and a half-single ball of Leonardo actually hit the goal post and bounced out.


    In the 70th minute of the game, Aldridge used Barak to replace Nelson, allowing Barak and Makelele to play double backs. Nedved was free in the frontcourt.


    Under the change of the defense, Millwall kept the score of 2-0 to the end.


    At the moment when the game ended, the whole team of players ran to the coach''s seat, whether it was the bench or the coaches of the coaching staff, everyone hugged together to celebrate the victory.


    "Millwall reached the final in Europe for the first time. The final of the European Cup Winners'' Cup in the Netherlands next month will be the top match between Millwall and La Liga giants Barcelona!"

 Chapter 210： Finale battle, escape battle!

    "We are going to Rotterdam! We are going to Rotterdam!"


    After the game, all members of the first team jumped up and down on the field, repeating cheerful songs.


    Aldridge went to Fernandes after the celebration, and the other party sent a blessing, hoping that Millwall would be lucky in the Netherlands next month.


    After the last confrontation, the two also mentioned the possibility of player transfer in a private chat. He fell in love with Ronaldinho of the youth team and felt that Ronaldinho¡¯s style of play was very in line with Paris Saint-Germain, especially Lay¡¯s age. There, he hoped that Ronaldinho could go to France to receive the Brazilian senior''s gun.


    However, Aldridge firmly stated that Ronaldinho was not for sale, and the team gave him a professional contract on his 16th birthday.


    Fernandes did not reiterate the old saying today. It is estimated that he also understood that he failed to reach the final. His days in Paris Saint-Germain depended on whether he could reverse the summit in the final league.


    Aldridge left the players outside to celebrate, and he left Wembley early.


    Last night, Manchester United fought against Dortmund in Old Trafford for 90 minutes, and bombarded more than 20 shots but failed to score a goal. In the end, Dortmund broke into the Champions League final.


    Ferguson just said that the team lacked luck, and then Manchester United officially informed Millwall, Stam''s transfer can be carried out in a fair and just manner!


    Now that only the league mission is left, Manchester United officially kicked off the transfer. Ferguson needs to give the team players some excitement to make the young players in the formation realize: Manchester United will be stronger next season and cannot be discouraged!


    So during the day, Stam went to Manchester for a medical examination. At the end of the Millwall game at night, Manchester United also announced that Stam would join on the first day of the summer transfer window, with a transfer fee of 15 million pounds!


    Aldridge quickly cheered up after spending his initial anger and disappointment.


    Ferguson''s stimulus to the Red Devils is positive.


    They not only introduced a top central defender, but also directly weakened Millwall''s strength. As competitors, the strength of the two rose and fell, and these 15 million pounds were spent, all in one fell swoop!


    Aldridge also needs to give the team some excitement to make up for the morale blow brought by Stam''s transfer, and what he can do, the first is the record, the second is to renew the contract!


    The renewal plan has been put on the agenda, and preliminary contract negotiations are on the table.


    Before the final match of the Premier League, Millwall won three games, which was very inspiring. At the same time, Larson scored four goals in three games and fixed the league goal to 38 goals.


    Elgra''s performance after replacing Stam is very stable, but the advantages and disadvantages of the two are also more obvious, Stam''s air defense is stronger, Elgra''s awareness of the replacement is better, and in Odric''s tactical system, Elgra, like Southgate, is able to make accurate shots on the back line. The invisible quality of the overall situation is crucial on the court.


    It''s just that when he meets sharp opponents on the sidelines, Elgra and Southgate are difficult to restrain the impact of the strong center, but Aldridge also has Materazzi and Ferdinand in his hands, adjusting the back line according to different opponents. It won''t be stretched.


    May 9.


    The day before the end of the Premier League, at this moment, Audridge was glad that the transfer of Stam had settled, there was no hype in the outside world, and public opinion was too lively. Millwall successfully survived this period of time. Selling panic."


    Aldrich in sportswear appeared at the press conference. He sat down and picked up a cup of water on the table to drink two sips of water.


    The audience was full of seats, and many reporters congratulated him. Millwall''s Premier League championship awards were held at the end of the last home game. The FA did not dare to put the award ceremony after the last game.


    Because of the Premier League finals this season, Millwall will be a guest to challenge West Ham United and go to Upton Park Stadium to award Millwall the Premier League trophy?


    The FA does not want to have the tragedy of a riot in the audience, so it will never do that!


    Since Millwall still has the FA Cup and the European Cup Winners'' Cup final, Audridge postponed the club''s championship celebration. Everything will have to wait for the FA Cup final on the 17th, before that, on the evening of the 15th , They also went to the Netherlands and Barcelona to compete for the trophy of the European Winners Cup.


    "Will there be a substitute player for tomorrow''s finale?"


    Aldridge held his chin with one hand and smiled with ease: "Yes, everyone knows that we have two important finals to play next week. The Premier League has won the championship, and the last one was sent off the bench. I I think the fans can understand."


    "But that''s East London Derby."


    "I sent a substitute does not mean giving up the game, I think Millwall''s backup lineup is also very strong."


    "I heard that Redknapp is the only Premier League coach who didn''t congratulate you privately, did he?"


    Aldridge straightened up to show a silent smile, and the reporters on the stage grasped each pen with his fist and prepared to record what he was going to say next.


    "Yes, I received congratulations from the Premier League club manager. The only one who did not congratulate me was the manager of West Ham United. I can understand the reason. We are dead enemies. This should be normal from the outside world, but In this regard, Gullit did a very good job. Chelsea¡¯s hostile relationship with Millwall is well known, but Gullit congratulated me to a great extent."


    "Then you appreciate Gullit''s approach, but don''t agree with Redknapp''s approach, do you?"


    Aldridge shrugged: "I can''t ask others what to do, but if West Ham won the league title, I will congratulate them. This is respect for the strong and a stimulus to Millwall, even if it is needed. My players line up at home to welcome West Ham United. I think it¡¯s okay. This will make the players realize the glory of the championship and stimulate their motivation. Unfortunately, West Ham United will not do this."


    Everyone knew that Aldridge was talking coldly, and the reporters laughed heartily.


    The atmosphere at today''s press conference was very relaxed, and Richard asked jokingly: "When do you think West Ham will win the league title?"


    Aldrich thought about it for a long time, and finally said in distress: "I don''t know, maybe when I went to the Arctic expedition and found the penguin and returned to London, West Ham United won the championship."


    "Mr. Hall, there are no penguins in the Arctic."


    "Oh, is it? That''s sorry, West Ham United."


    "The Sun" Thomson bluntly reminded Aldridge that Aldridge only made a joke.


    Thomson''s cooperation caused a burst of laughter at the scene.


    ...


    Aldridge''s mockery of West Ham United quickly spread throughout East London, Millwall fans were delighted to see that West Ham United fans were enraged!


    What is the happiest thing between dead enemies?


    Everyone is in the same league, there is a chance of confrontation!


    What is the most hated thing?


    The opponent is the champion, but he is relegating himself!


    The ending game of the Premier League has no suspense for the teams in the top half of the standings.


    The champion, Millwall.


    Runner-up, Manchester United.


    As for who gets the qualification of the UEFA Cup, there is no suspense.


    Newcastle United, Liverpool, Arsenal.


    Chelsea will win tickets to the European Cup Winners'' Cup next season, regardless of whether they win or lose.


    Therefore, the ending game has lost the point significance for the teams on the top of the standings.


    However, for teams in the relegation zone, the final battle is a rare and fierce battle for many years!


    Nottingham Forest was demoted early.


    There are also two relegation places, and up to 6 teams have the possibility of relegation! This also excludes Blackburn, who is theoretically possible, because they have a goal difference. As long as it is not the other relegation team to brush the double-digit scores against the sky and they lose at home, they will basically not Downgrade.


    Of the remaining 6 teams, Coventry had the lowest score of 38 points and Everton had 42 points.


    Everton''s goal difference is obvious, so if other relegation teams have won, but he lost a big score, then it is possible to relegate.


    There is no direct dialogue between relegation opponents.


    There is no doubt that this season''s finale will be a crazy Premier League escape battle!


    This is more exciting than the fierce competition in previous years, because these relegation teams will undoubtedly desperately want to stay in the Premier League!


    Millwall went to the North Bank of the Thames the next day to visit Upton Park Stadium.


    As the team was caught in the quagmire of relegation, the attention of West Ham fans was placed in the belief of supporting the team¡¯s relegation. Therefore, the intensity of the confrontation between the fans of the two teams outside the field has declined.


    Fans of the mad lion squadrons and slammed Millwall to be the champion at the Upton Park stadium, while the fans of the Hammer Gang were gloomy in the stands, and the haze enveloped the Upton Park stadium. They looked nervous and wore headphones. Listen to the radio and understand the scores of other sessions in real time.


    When Aldridge came in, it was rare that no fans booed him, which made him feel strange.


    He stood on the side of the court and looked up at the shining sky, then looked around the stadium, then took back his eyes, feeling a little hot, took off his suit jacket and put it on the seat, dressed in a shirt, trousers and tie and neatly dressed standing on the sidelines .


    Lao Lei and his team members have not appeared for a long time. It is estimated that Lao Lei is doing pre-war mobilization in the locker room.


    When the game was still three minutes away, the players finally walked slowly out of the player channel, and Lao Lei also came out solemnly, glancing at Aldridge, just as Aldridge also looked towards him, Lao Lei¡¯s The reaction made Aldridge almost laugh.


    He looked like a frightened little animal, with a panicked look, turned his head to the home team coach seat.


    "Hi, I¡¯m Martin, Andy sitting next to me. Today is the day of the 1996-1997 season of the English Premier League. All games will be kicked off at the same time. We will broadcast live East London at Upton Park Stadium. Derby battle, I really can¡¯t think of it. Millwall won the league title in the second year of the Premier League. West Ham United, who had absolutely strong powers before, fell into the scourge of relegation. However, today, Redknapp should be lucky, fortunately Millwall was crowned the Premier League champion in advance. If Millwall still needs to compete in the final round, then Hall will definitely send the strongest lineup. Instead, they sent a bench lineup today."


    "Yeah, let''s take a look at the starting lineups of both sides. West Ham United has sent all the main force... Millwall is on the bench. Only goalkeeper Bout still insists on the starting line. I think this is for Hall to keep the goalkeeper. Status. Guards: Mills, Materazzi, Ferdinand, Zambrotta. Midfielders: Gattuso, Lampard, Barak. Forwards: Fanny, Tony, Phillips."


    The combination of strikers sent by Aldridge today is really amazing.


    In the standing position, Tony and Fanny were in front, and Phillips was hiding behind them.


    He just scared Lao Lei, just to see Lao Lei not afraid.


    "It is necessary for us to introduce our friends to the current Premier League standings. The scores of the seven teams in the bottom ranking are as follows.


    Everton had 42 points.


    Southampton has 41 points.


    West Ham United scored 39 points.


    Middlesbrough 39 points.


    Sunderland has 39 points.


    Coventry has 38 points.


    Nottingham Forest 32 points.


    The bottom Nottingham Forest has been relegated, but the other six teams have the possibility of being relegated. Everton is in the best position. As long as the team behind does not win all the games and won a big score, they can go ashore. In addition to the Coventry must win the other five teams, their advantage and disadvantage of the goal difference will also play a key role! After the 90-minute game, we will know who can escape from birth and who will fall into the abyss! "

 Chapter 211： The most hated person is born

    The ever-popular East London Derby has changed its taste today.


    The hammer in the stands helped the fans to be restless, and they would be crazy about the existence of the fans.


    And the fans of the crazy lions did not verbally insult each other in the stands today. On the contrary, they sang their shoulders and sang on the stands and sang the songs of the champions, praising the greatness of Millwall.


    In their view, on this day, they came to the stadium of the dead enemy to celebrate Millwall''s championship, which is the greatest humiliation to the dead enemy!


    The situation on the court was relatively tight. Lao Lei discharged a 451 formation today. He was determined to play a defensive counterattack. After the game began, their formation gradually withdrew and compressed in the second half. The single forward in the counterattack did not cross. Halftime, shrink!


    Lao Lei''s expression is grim. He knows that even if he has the advantage of home court, he can''t attack aggressively, otherwise he will be punished.


    Today, Millwall''s start made Lao Lei scratch his head and wonder what the other party is doing.


    Tony is a bridgehead in the penalty area, and the running range is not large. Fanny also entered the stealth after the opening. Very active Phillips was drowned in intensive defense. Millwall has no winger today. Passing to find Tony, and Tony''s body is really able to stand in the penalty area, grabbing a few headers is quite threatening, if there are not too many defenders around him, he can have more room to play.


    What is Millwall doing today?


    The play is too retro, a long pass rushes, two forwards are crowded in the penalty area, and there are Phillips outside the penalty area.


    Redknapp was afraid of losing the ball. The originally arranged midfield defense line was useless, and Millwall sang out of the empty city.


    Three midfielders, Barack, Gattuso, Lampard, more of the task is to defend, never rush into, the style of the ball returns from the dynamic to the static, every time from the defense to attack, it will start in place Hang the ball to the frontcourt to find a forward teammate.


    As a result, the game scene becomes very boring and boring.


    The ball flew around in the sky, and West Ham did not dare to invest in the counterattack. Perhaps the pressure of relegation made them nervous. As long as the defense in the forty yard area in front of the goal, it must be a big foot.


    Aldridge saw West Ham''s defensive posture on the sidelines and shook his head.


    How can we gain or lose a key battle?


    If you want to stay in the Premier League, you must take the momentum left by the oath!


    Thirty minutes into the game, there was a burst of cheers from the stands.


    That was the voice from fans of West Ham United.


    "Wow, Coventry trailed 1-0 at White Hart Lane! Middlesbrough fell behind at the Riverside Stadium! Sunderland fell behind Wimbledon! God, most relegation teams are behind! Even Everton are behind Chelsea at home, but they don''t matter, especially in this situation, Everton should be able to declare a successful relegation. Oh, and Blackburn, which is two goals behind Leicester City at home, is the same! "


    Martin Taylor and Andy Cole were shocked. In the relegation battle predicted by experts before the game, no team can lead the opponent!


    These teams are doing wool!


    At this time, it is better than who can win, not better than who can lose!


    Are you scrambling to go to the British League to dominate?


    In contrast to this East London Derby, West Ham United, even though there is no offensive, but still holding a draw, relegation ashore is near.


    Redknapp also received a reminder from his assistant and learned the real-time scores of other games. The tension on his face faded away.


    In the first half, the two sides handed in a white paper.


    In the second half, Yibian fights again.


    Millwall did not make a substitution, but the tactics changed. Ballack and Lampard began to take turns to strengthen the long-range shot. In the second half of the second few minutes, several long-range shots scared the fans in the stands.


    Redknapp made substitutions in the 65th minute of the game, replaced with a central defender, changed to 541, trying to carry the deadlock to the end.


    When he was replaced, Aldridge appeared in the middle of the line. Redknapp and his disciples reminded him of the defensive tasks after the game, but Aldridge patted his shoulder. When he turned back, The expression was frightened like seeing a goblin.


    "West Ham United will not come up with the determination to break the wreck, will the Hammer gang stay in the Premier League?"


    Aldridge finished lightly, then turned and walked back to his place to stand still.


    Redknapp immediately complained to the fourth official, and he didn''t know what to complain about.


    burn one''s boats?


    Male Gobi, boy, are you a radical?


    Really **** up, Millwall stole a ball, if we lose, it is estimated that it is really dangerous.


    Now a tie, the relegation situation is very good for us.


    In the second half, Millwall''s play began to be dynamic, the frontcourt players'' running range increased, and intermittent running positions continued to create offensive threats, which forced West Ham to start using foul tactics.


    The hammer in the stands helped the fans feel better and began to compete with Millwall fans.


    Especially after hearing the news that Southampton also fell behind to Aston Villa on the road, they were even more cheered.


    It should be no problem for West Ham to stay in the Premier League!


    In the seventy-fifth minute of the game, Aldridge reached out with Ferdinand and Gattuso, and then with one finger to the frontcourt, the two players immediately felt that they would assist.


    Coupled with frequent assists, the position has become two full-backs, and Millwall only has Materazzi and the goalkeeper in the backcourt. The players are concentrated in the frontcourt to infest the West Ham United goals. Fried.


    It is strange to say that although Millwall¡¯s chances are not so good today, he can score a lot of shots. With nearly 20 foot shots, he only has 3 shots in the goal range!


    Seeing the situation on the field, Redknapp hesitated whether to take advantage of Millwall''s backcourt to make the team''s formation pressure.


    At this time, the scores of other games were passed.


    Middlesbrough equalized the score!


    Coventry evened the score at White Hart Lane!


    Old Thunder Khan was raining and his heart was beating like thunder.


    I was thinking about the ranking of the standings.


    Nottingham Forest degraded.


    Sunderland trailed by 39 points.


    Coventry tied, 39 points.


    Middlesbrough draw, 40 points.


    West Ham draws 40 points.


    Southampton trailed by 41 points.


    There are four teams behind West Ham United!


    If West Ham United can win, it will definitely go ashore. If it loses, it will hang. If there is a draw, at least the probability of a successful relegation is very high.


    At this moment, Lao Lei still chose to seek stability and let the team steadily build a fence. As long as the ball is not lost, the rest, God bless it, don''t give other teams a miracle.


    Time passed by one minute and one second, the players of West Ham United were obviously more nervous, and the scale of their fouls was getting bigger and bigger, giving Millwall more opportunities to position the ball, but they were obviously well prepared and drilled. Over-positioning defensive tactics, tightly guarding the wall of people, also focused on each Millwall offensive player.


    Lao Lei continued to make substitutions, and West Ham United at home, actually delayed the time when the substitutions were made. The replaced players walked slowly out of the court and shook hands with the referee, even if they were warned by a yellow card, it was rare. Yes, this behavior was booed by the visiting team fans.


    After Lao Lei''s substitutions are completed, West Ham United can hardly see a pure offensive player, let alone a forward!


    Time came to the injury stoppage time, and the fourth official held up a sign on the sidelines to play the stoppage time.


    5 minutes!


    Fuck!


    The Hammer helps fans stop doing it!


    Grass your family, so long stoppage time!


    Lao Lei also shouted angrily at the fourth official: "No goal was scored in the second half, and no player was injured. Why should it be so long?"


    The fourth official replied expressionlessly: "Substitution delays time, and your team frequently fouls the game to interrupt the game. This is a reasonable stoppage time."


    Aldrich didn''t care when he stood on the sidelines.


    Upton Park Stadium booed four seconds before, expressing dissatisfaction with the referee, but the next second, the audience was silent.


    "There was news from another venue that Coventry reversed Tottenham at White Hart Lane, 2:1. If Coventry can keep the score until the end of the game, then they will have 41 points! Middlesbrough is in danger, Although they have the same points as West Ham, the goal difference is not dominant. Alas, they are only blamed for canceling the game against Blackburn and getting a penalty of 3 points!"


    The fans looked at each other.


    Grass, Spurs off the chain and dilute!


    No face even at home!


    It was actually reversed by Coventry!


    None of the neighbors is really a good thing!


    Just then, West Ham United fouled about thirty-five yards before the penalty area and Millwall received a direct free kick.


    The game time has passed 93 minutes, and there is only 1 minute and 40 seconds left before the stoppage time.


    West Ham United started to line up, and some players interfered with Millwall in the front, trying to delay for a while.


    A strange scene appeared on the sidelines.


    Aldridge raised his right finger to the second half, the action was very clear.


    One finger pointed to Materazzi, and then to goalkeeper Bout.


    When the two looked at him, Aldridge waved his hand and pointed to the frontcourt.


    The meaning is clear.


    You guys, attack me!


    Not to mention dumbfounding Materazzi and Bout, the fans couldn''t believe the scene before them.


    Materazzi and Bute started running forward without saying anything, and sprinted through the middle circle!


    Millwall had no players in the backcourt and the goal was wide open.


    The Hammer helped fans hold their heads in disbelief.


    Millwall at Dog Day, are you wrong?


    It is us who want to relegate!


    Crazy lion fans waved their arms and boiled blood.


    Fuck West Ham United, see? This is our mad lion, you have no fight back from start to finish!


    We just want to crush you, do you have such courage?


    Redknapp''s pupils shrank, and he looked at Aldridge incredulously.


    Aldridge made a gesture of reaching out to him.


    Millwall¡¯s door was empty.


    As long as you have a chance, shoot.


    Redknapp immediately turned around and yelled at the players on the court.


    "Mark! Mark!"


    The West Ham players, who had already lined up the wall, stared at the people around them, suddenly found that Materazzi and Bout rushed up from the backcourt and ran all the way to the penalty area. It felt numb, and there was a moment of confusion.


    How to do?


    Who is going to mark those two?


    There was a turmoil in and out of the penalty area, and the West Ham United team wall was loosened.


    Goalkeeper Miloxton also panicked, and he roared loudly in front of the door.


    "Don''t move the wall! Keep an eye on the two people who rushed into the restricted area!"


    In a panic, Barak suddenly got up and hit the ground with a volley to the dead end of the goal.


    There is a wall in the near corner of the goal, and the far corner is the goalkeeper''s defensive zone.


    However, Milox was distracted by commanding his teammates. At this time, there was no requirement that the free kick must wait for the referee to whistle before the main penalty. When the wall was lined up, he was ready to save, but Materazzi and Bout rushed up. Disrupting the rhythm of West Ham United, everyone was distracted.


    At this moment, although the foot was tricky, as long as Milox fell to the ground and saved the ball, he could roll the ball from his armpit into the goal.


    After Barak scored, he was unbelievable.


    Upton Park is silent.


    Redknapp split his eyes pale.


    Aldridge showed a faint smile, turned around and picked up his suit from the seat, with **** hooked on the collar to shoulder and walked towards the player''s passage.


    The scene was captured by the sidelines.


    The close-up picture is an old mine struck by a thunderbolt on the sunny day. The medium-view picture shows Aldridge''s mouth raised and a smile drawn out early. The long-range picture shows fans with different expressions after the mental breakdown in the stands of Upton Park Stadium.


    West Ham United''s favorite person is their great captain Bobby Moore.


    And on May 10, 1997, the most hated person of West Ham appeared.


    From their most hated club Millwall.


    That man will remain in the history of this club forever. His name is Audrey Hall.

 Chapter 212： Millwall advantages

    In the stands of Upton Park Stadium, Hammer helped the fans completely lose their senses after seeing the team drop the ball.


    90 seconds, only 90 seconds!


    The rest of the game is over, only the long stoppage time for the East London Derby is not over, and the commentator Martin screamed wildly in the live broadcast.


    "Blackburn lost to Leicester City 2:4 at home, but they had 42 points and landed!


    Everton lost 1-2 at home to Chelsea, 42 points, landed!


    Southampton lost 0:1 to Aston Villa, 41 points, ashore!


    Coventry reversed Tottenham at White Hart Lane 1:1, 41 points, and landed!


    Middlesbrough home Leeds United 1:1, 40 points, landed!


    Sunderland lost to Wimbledon 0:1 away, 39 points, relegated!


    Nottingham Forest has already been demoted early!


    West Ham United originally had 40 points as long as they guaranteed a draw, but they have more goal difference than Middlesbrough and they will also succeed in relegation.


    However, they are now 0:1 at home, if they can''t tie the score, then they will be relegated! Downgrade! Downgrade! "


    West Ham United kicked off quickly and then played a long pass, but they had no offensive players on the field at all. A group of defenders and defensive midfielders rushed to the court. Materazzi did not understand the group of players who rushed up. .


    You rushed up aggressively, but did someone come to grab the ball?


    The ball fell beside him, but no one came to grab it. Materazzi easily kicked the ball back to the opposite half and flew out of the baseline after bounced.


    At this moment, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game!


    "Since the promotion to the Premier League in 1993, West Ham United announced their relegation four years after they were mixed in the Premier League! They failed to hold on to the final in the relegation battle, only one minute, one minute, as long as they held on for one minute, but fate Have a joke on them, goodbye, West Ham United! All 380 Premier League games have ended this season, congratulations to champion Millwall, they have dedicated a fantastic season to the fans, congratulations to Larson, 38 league goals The ball has set a record for the Premier League Golden Boots and will also challenge the European Golden Boot Award! Finally, I wish Millwall the title in the European War and win glory for England!"


    The West Ham players collapsed on the court, and the players shook their heads with painful expressions, making it difficult to accept the ending.


    Most of the fans in the stands collapsed.


    "Once, twice, three times, four times, **** Redknapp, how many times do you have to lose to Millwall? Today they lost to us and lost our Premier League qualification!"


    Fans in the stands near the court accused Redknapp of conservative tactics. Since Millwall''s upgrade last season, East London Derby and West Ham United have all lost. Although they were not a big score defeat today, they lost the most. The pain is the worst!


    The fans of the crazy lions were so excited that they cheered collectively with their teeth.


    "The Hammer Gang, you **** go to **** to blow bubbles! Long live Millwall!"


    There were signs of riots in the stands. Hammers helped fans rush into the court and began to accuse their players and coaches. The scene quickly lost control. Millwall players retired after the game. Their season is not over. This victory makes the finale perfect.


    This is second only to their success in winning the league title!


    Drive the dead enemy into the abyss and make them irreversible!


    The riot police was dispatched, and there was chaos on the court. Outside the stadium, fans on both sides also broke out. The shops near the stadium closed immediately, but they could not avoid being smashed. Most of them were West Ham United who lost their senses. Fans did it, and there were football hooligans in it.


    It seems that the FA is going to be busy again, and this time, it is clear that it will be aimed at West Ham United.


    Anyway, Millwall fans came dashing and won.


    Destiny not only made a joke for West Ham United, but also played a reverse drama for Middlesbrough Riverside Stadium.


    At the Riverside Stadium, Middlesbrough tried his best but failed to rewrite the tie.


    When the game ended, the players knew the scores of other games, everyone thought they were going to be relegated.


    Brian Robson began to comfort the players, and the fans burst into tears in the stands.


    Juninho knelt down in tears on the riverside stadium.


    But they just cried for two minutes, and suddenly ecstatic screams broke out from the stands.


    Brian Robson''s coaching staff assistant shouted frantically on the sidelines: "Milwall led West Ham United 1-0 away!"


    "Really? Is the game not over yet?"


    "It''s almost over! The stoppage time is long over there!"


    "Fuck Millwall, come on!"


    Fans and players of the Riverside Stadium began to pray. After another minute and a half, the fans confirmed that the game over there was over. After the score will not change, the cheers broke out again. The whimper of Lili turned to tears and smiled.


    ...


    Sunderland coach Peter Reed was more depressed than Robson led Middlesbrough to relegate at the last minute.


    They challenged Wimbledon as a guest craze for the desirelessness. They did not score a goal and were scored by the other side. As a result, the newly promoted Sunderland had to be relegated for a season in the Premier League.


    The English Premier League came to an end, and Audridge left early after the game without an interview.


    The facts have already caused him to fail to continue to fall down on West Ham United in words.


    From the end of the game, his eyes turned to the European arena.


    But the peers don''t seem to want to let Aldridge go.


    Brian Robson sent an invitation to have a drink, Aldridge declined politely.


    Manchester United secretly sent 18 million pounds to offer Larson, 10 million pounds to offer Trezeguet and Shevchenko.


    Martin O''Neill wants to talk about Tony''s prospects for next season.


    Many teams sent bids for Phillips and Barak.


    Aldridge, without exception, refused all.


    Some of them don¡¯t talk about it, and some of them are not yet time.


    Millwall still has two finals. Only after the finals can other work be carried out.


    Aldridge not only needs the team, but also himself, focusing on the last two games.


    At night, Aldridge¡¯s apartment was quite lively, and the first-team coaching staff came to his house.


    Everyone ate a buffet, and then drank beer at night to watch the Spanish national derby!


    Before the game started, they had to first look at the British television station''s inventory of the Premier League season of the past season.


    The highest appearance rate is naturally Millwall. The double killing of the traditional three giants has created 31 undefeated records, 18 consecutive five league records, Larsson has scored 38 goals, and Nedved 19 times Assists, the total number of striker Trident goals is 79, which is related to the 34 games played by Larsen. He only missed 4 league games, while Trezeguet and Shevchenko played 28 games and 27 games respectively. Especially at the end of the season, everyone took the initiative to create a goal for Larson. Some semi-single goals will be passed to Larson, and the penalty will be handed over to Larson. This makes Larson impressed. In various events, he He has scored 49 goals this season, making him one of the hottest strikers in contemporary Europe. Tonight, Larson invited his teammates to dinner in high-end restaurants, which is also a way of thanking.


    In the inventory of Millwall, Middlesbrough was inevitably contacted, because Millwall only lost two games throughout the season, lost to Newcastle United after winning the championship in advance, and Aldridge has been in charge of the team for three years. The only loss at home is to lose to Middlesbrough, or in the league, if there is no such victory, Middlesbrough may be relegated!


    In the inventory of other teams, although Manchester United failed to defend their title, they lost to Dortmund in the semi-finals in the Champions League. It was also a major breakthrough. At the same time, this young team of Manchester United was baptized by the Champions League. The future potential is still unanimously optimistic about the outside world, especially they After the introduction of Stam to strengthen the defense.


    Although the style of Arsenal has changed, but the results are not obvious, whether Wenger''s coaching style and style can lead Arsenal to return to the peak, can only give time to give the answer.


    The most regrettable thing is Liverpool. The players in the team are not inferior to any team, but they always lose the chain. Evans'' team is full of expectations, but it is always disappointing.


    This season, Golden Boy Irving entered the first team in the second half of the season and ushered in the Premier League debut, Liverpool, less talent than any team?


    ...


    When the Spanish National Derby started later, Aldridge and his colleagues sat on the sofa drinking beer and watching the game.


    After seeing the roster of the two teams, Jenson said in surprise: "Barcelona really still have expectations for the league champion? They are 5 points behind Real Madrid! Although there are still many games in the league."


    Aldridge smiled and said to Benitez: "You have worked in Real Madrid for eight years, and you should know the meaning of this game better than we do."


    Ben¨ªtez said lightly: "Catalonia is a nation without a country, Barcelona is their army! No matter when the national derby is carried out, there can be no slight reservations."


    Just five days later, on May 15th, Barcelona and Millwall will play a final in the European Cup Winners'' Cup in the Netherlands.


    However, in today''s Spanish national derby, Barcelona still dispatched all the main forces!


    Ronaldo, Figo, Enrique, Guardiola and so on.


    They do not have a trace of reservations, which has nothing to do with their league 5 points behind Real Madrid. They are not playing to defeat Real Madrid to reduce points, but the simplest competitive meaning: defeating their opponents!


    This is true at all times.


    Craig shrugged and said, "This is good for us. La Liga is still 22 teams. The Barcelona league has to fight for the championship. They still have five or six rounds to play. Today is the national derby. They send all the main forces and physical fitness. , Our main force took a break a week ago, we have more advantages and don¡¯t have to distract the league."


    His words have been recognized by everyone, and Aldrich feels right. This is the fact. Barcelona is indeed very unfavorable. The schedule, the intensive La Liga rounds, and today they will try their best to play the national derby. Wait for the 15th before going to the Netherlands. During the game, they must not be able to adjust to the best state!


    "The momentum of Barcelona this season is very crazy. They will definitely win the championship in the past few years, but they have encountered Real Madrid coached by Capello this year. It is also the strongest Real Madrid in the past ten years. Unfortunately, Real Madrid fans do not like the card. Pero, he thinks his football style is too conservative, I don¡¯t think so, now Capello¡¯s Real Madrid can do the conversion of offense and defense, and can attack and defend well!"


    Benitez took a sip of wine and was very helpless to Real Madrid''s football environment.


    Real Madrid fans always hope that there are 11 offensive geniuses on the field, and their opponents are 11 defensive fools. The whole game is Real Madrid offensive, as long as the opponents play a good role.


    If Real Madrid is playing football, then they are definitely the best team in the world, because they can have the best offensive team, and then buy the best defensive team, but on the football field, offense and defense , Not separate.


    Aldridge lighted a cigarette and said lightly: "You are right, I also think that Capello''s Real Madrid is one of the strongest teams in recent years. Did the national derby in the first round watch? Capello used Italy The defensive counterattack defeated Barcelona with two goals. The teamwork was simple, fast, smooth, and fatal in one hit. What star is long-distance and what personal performance is sometimes crucial in the top contest, but if the head coach can only hope Relying on the star''s personal play, then such a team is destined to fail, because even if it is the recognized king on the court, it is impossible to maintain world-class play on the field. When the star''s state is unstable, the team''s victory depends on What guarantees?"


    Everyone expressed their opinions while watching the game.


    In the end, Barcelona won the game with a penalty. Ronaldo missed a penalty kick. Figo broke into the penalty area to get the ball and then passed it back to Ronaldo. The latter scored the only goal in the game. Barcelona''s score in the La Liga and Real Madrid. Reduced to 2 points.


    It''s just that they have to go to the European War. In the final sprint of the league, Real Madrid still has the advantage.

 Chapter 213： Future peak battle

    On the evening of May 11, at the Rotterdam Airport, six kilometers northwest of Rotterdam, a group of people wearing blue jerseys looked forward to the exit hall of the airport. They looked at the exit with an eager look.


    The plane sailing from London arrived at Rotterdam Airport, and soon, someone at the exit headed out.


    In a black suit with a slim fit, Aldridge put the bag in his left hand and the suitcase in his right hand. He walked steadily with his head straight and led the team out.


    Behind him, the coaches of the coaching staff and the players of the Millwall team all wore suits uniformly and uniformly, and each heroic and handsome was extraordinary.


    The fans who had been waiting for a long time suddenly burst into cheers!


    "Look! Millwall is here!"


    "Aldrich Hall! Really him! The most famous young handsome in Europe! He is more handsome than he looks on TV!"


    "Larsen! Nedved! Shevchenko! Schneider! Really they!"


    "Larson! Larson!"


    ...


    The scene was chaotic. Hundreds of fans in the airport surrounded the Millwall team, some asked for signatures, some sent flowers, and avid female fans bravely embraced their favorite players and sent sweet kisses.


    Aldridge led his team to fight in the homeland of England, and has never experienced such a scene, because local fans are no stranger to Millwall, whether it is TV exposure or going to the field to watch the ball, they can see them.


    Even when leading their teams to Europe, they did not meet many fanatic fans in Paris because they were not popular teams.


    But today is quite different.


    Mill Wall Howe won the Premier League title, broke into the European Cup Winners'' Cup finals, and eliminated Paris Saint-Germain in two rounds, making their reputation in Europe grow rapidly.


    When outside fans began to be curious about this team, in the process of their in-depth understanding, they quickly became fans of Millwall, or a certain player.


    Aldridge alone has already become as popular as entertainment stars.


    "He is young and handsome, tactical and resourceful, and calm on the sidelines, sometimes showing the wildness of young people, attracting everyone''s attention, he is the pride of England."


    This is the Times'' evaluation of the young marshals who have rushed to the Red Premier League in the past three years.


    And Aldridge¡¯s high-gloss lens is no less than any star, especially in the last two minutes of the Premier League finale, he raised his right hand on the sidelines and firmly put the goalkeeper and central defender into the attack, and turned to the opponent Lao Lei. Uninvited invitations to go out of the door, after the team lore opponents, knocked the dead enemy into the relegation abyss, showed a charming evil smile and left the scene early. The whole process was repeatedly broadcast by major British TV stations, which made Aldridge''s popularity directly burst into the table. Become one of the new generation of idols!


    However, Aldridge did not have the consciousness of a star. He only felt the enthusiasm of the fans here after he came to Rotterdam. Among the team members, there were not many security guards. Therefore, with the help of airport security to maintain order, Milwax The entire team successfully walked out of the airport.


    Aldrich took the lead on the bus, and then turned back to the players who were "stunned" and calmed down, "If you are willing, you can sign a photo with these fans. We can wait for half an hour before leaving."


    There were more fans outside the airport, surrounded by the front of the bus under the maintenance of security personnel.


    Millwall players were used to local fans outside the training ground, but they didn¡¯t expect to come abroad. They were so popular. The fans naturally waited for a long time, which made the players very moved. So outside the bus, they gave some Fans took a group photo and signed, which made many fans ecstatic.


    Staying in a five-star hotel in Rotterdam in the evening, Aldridge did not impose martial law on the players. The players can go out for a stroll, but they must return to the hotel to rest before 11 pm.


    Before the start of the game, they had three days, 12, 13, and 14. On these three days, Millwall''s plan was to rest on the first day, enter training on the second day, step on the field on the third day, and then play on the 15th.


    Players have different preferences, some don¡¯t like stepping on the field, they think it¡¯s a waste of time, some don¡¯t want to take too much rest, and want to use exercise to maintain their physical condition, which varies from person to person, but Aldridge set about For the whole team, you can¡¯t make plans based on players¡¯ likes and dislikes. Whether you like it or not, it¡¯s a collective, individual will must obey the collective will, and every decision of the head coach is not tossing, there must be Think deeply about the big picture.


    Rotterdam, as a well-known port city in Europe, has its own unique scenery. On the next day, the Millwall team, the players traveled together to enjoy the wonderful scenery of foreign countries.


    Also on this day, the Barcelona team arrived in Rotterdam, causing more sensation than when Millwall arrived!


    All major media working groups in Europe have also arrived here, tracking the situation of the two teams from before the game.


    This game is called by the media as "the pinnacle of the future!"


    The future here has two meanings. One is that the game will be played in the future. The other means that Millwall and Barcelona are young teams. There are many supernovas in these two teams. They are the fresh blood of European football. In the future, it will definitely be an enduring figure in the top game.


    The good news The Sun reported the title "Civil War in England!"


    The coaches of the two teams, one side is young coach Aldridge, and the other side is Sir Bobby Robson, who is over 60 years old.


    Both are English, which makes the British media extremely proud.


    There are many famous coaches in the history of England, such as the long-standing Calvo, Nicholson, Sir Ramsey, Crawford, Paisley, Levi, etc. in the past two or three decades, but in the contemporary era, they are still active in the public. The former England coaches are not many, Sir Bobby Robson must be considered one, but he created the best national team World Cup record in England after winning the World Cup from homeland, and because he traveled around Europe to coach, it was still one. An anti-cancer fighter, so he was admired in England.


    Even though Aldrich was in the limelight at this time, his popularity in England was very high, but objectively speaking, he was no match for Robson.


    In terms of popularity, Aldridge may be better than others, but in terms of achievements, Aldridge can only count on his own.


    This showdown between the young and the handsome is being vigorously rendered. Is it the heritage of the times or the newcomer? Is it the Aldridge''s new calf that is not afraid of tigers, or is Robson''s **** more spicy? This matchup has too many things to watch.


    The two best-performing strikers in the top five European leagues, Larsen and Ronaldo.


    There is no lack of merits in the comprehensive contests of those who can conquer good wars in their respective formations.


    When Aldridge attended the UEFA final press conference one day before the game, there were more than a hundred journalists from different countries around the world.


    The appeal of this final is faintly comparable to that of the Champions League final Dortmund and Juventus!


    Under the control of the press officer, Aldridge paid tribute to Sir Bobby Robson and waited for the reporters to ask questions.


    At first, some mainstream European media were asking about the competition.


    For example, team status, player list, game tactics, etc.


    But at the end of the press conference, it turned into a slobber battle between Audridge and reporters.


    The two major media outlets in Barcelona, ??"World Sports" and "Daily Sports", fired on Aldridge with hostility.


    "Half a year ago, you said that Ronaldo was not worthy of the Golden Ball Awards second, nor Mr. World Football, but he has scored more than 40 goals this season. Do you still insist on your words?"


    The scene suddenly became quiet, and all reporters knew one thing in their minds: the good show began.


    Aldridge said quietly after a moment of silence: "Yes, I still insist."


    "Don''t you think this is a ridiculous stubbornness that you are deceiving yourself?"


    "No, I don¡¯t think, first of all, let me reiterate that neither the Golden Globes nor Mr. World Football is a future star. Please tell me what honor Ronaldo won in the 95-96 season? He alone I don¡¯t think he¡¯s better than my players in Barcelona¡¯s half-season performance. Of course, if he can get some heavyweight honors this season, such as the league championship, then he will be a popular candidate for the Golden Globe in this year¡¯s selection. I will agree, but, before there is no team honor, please don¡¯t overestimate the individual and ignore the team."


    "You say that Ronaldo is not as good as your player. Please tell me who is better than Ronaldo!"


    Aldridge chuckled and said, "This is not interesting, but you want to know, then I said, although Larson and Ronaldo are two different types of forwards, but just comparing the results, Larson last season compared Ronaldo has won more championship trophies, scored more goals, and has more assists. Larson has more goals and assists than Ronaldo this season, and we have won the league championship. Larson helped the team create There are a lot of great records, including 18 consecutive league winning streak, one at home, a winning streak at home, consecutive consecutive goals, and so on. I don¡¯t want to go any further."


    "What a joke! Are the Premier League and La Liga comparable? If Millwall comes to La Liga, you may not even get into the top three! How much gold does the record created in that kind of league? Ronaldo scored There are a lot of great goals. One hundred years later, people will mention that this great shooter will relish his goals!"


    "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhzymuck Hi, Ha Ha ha ha, it''s really interesting, well, you let Barcelona come to the Premier League to kick and watch, this is a stupid discussion. I have never denied Ronaldo''s goal to be ornamental, nor did he deny him. Talents and abilities, but the comprehensive value of a player reflects not only whether the job can be done well, but also to improve the team and help the team to obtain honor. If only the player''s individual ability is compared, then what is the significance of the team? Where is the player¡¯s collective sense of honor? You are here to chase Ronaldo, but have you thought about the value of the people who help him next to him? Figo, Giovanni, Drapena, Enrique, Guardiola Wait, what is their value? Is it for Ronaldo? If so, then, Barcelona¡¯s football values ??disappointed me, but in fact, no! It¡¯s because you misunderstood all this, and Ronaldo is so good because Barcelona has a strong team, and they serve the team together for victory, not for individuals! When you emphasize Ronaldo¡¯s contribution, please give some respect to other Barcelona players. Without them, Ronaldo is nothing, just like Larson Similarly, he has no teammates like Nedved, Trezeguet, Makelele, Southgate, etc., and he will not achieve such achievements now."


    "We are just talking about forwards, not the whole team!"


    "Stupidly hopeless! You think Ronaldo of Barcelona went to Vallecano, Atletico Gijon, Celta and other La Liga middle and lower teams, can he still have the same performance? He can still score then Do you have a great goal in your mouth? Similarly, if Larson is not in Millwall, but in other middle and lower teams of the Premier League, he must not be able to play so well! This topic ends, Milwaukee Al has proved himself in the Premier League, Larson also used the Golden Boots of the Premier League to keep himself in the history of the Premier League. Ronaldo''s personal transcript is very good, but Barcelona is still behind Real Madrid in La Liga. This is what Fact, goodbye."

 Chapter 214： Young showdown!

    When Ronaldo went from the Netherlands to Spain and went to the world, almost all the clubs in Europe did not pay attention to his performance. Aldridge also appreciated his performance with a bystander mentality as early as October last year. I really feel that Millwall and Barcelona do not intersect. Even if he made some remarks because of the selection of the Golden Globe Awards, he did not target Barcelona.


    But in April, he realized afterwards: One of Ronaldo''s two club intercontinental championships was the European Cup Winners'' Cup in his only season with Barcelona.


    Today, as expected, Millwall and Barcelona joined Rotterdam, the Netherlands, to compete for the championship!


    The two teams that have never met in history have detonated many topics.


    Aldridge was portrayed by the Spanish media as an arrogant boy who despised Barcelona, ??and Millwall¡¯s achievements were also attributed to the English Premier League, the clown usurped!


    On May 15th, the European Cup Winners'' Cup final is about to kick off, and the stadium is full of seats. In addition to the fans of the two teams, more than 10,000 neutral fans came here to enjoy this pinnacle of battle.


    Pre-match performances are taking place on the court, and players from both teams are ready to go in the locker room.


    Millwall had a longer preparation period than Barcelona, ??and his players were adjusted to the best. In the locker room, Aldridge saw eleven energetic fighters.


    The players are full of energy and ready to fight against opponents like Barcelona, ??which not only excites them, but also makes them feel hungry.


    Yes, they can''t wait to play against the strong European teams, and the two rounds of battle with Paris Saint-Germain are still not enough.


    Aldridge walked in front of each team member, examined their mental state, and nodded in satisfaction after making sure that the young men were fighting.


    "Today is a final to decide the championship, a final that becomes a stepping stone for opponents if you lose. If you are waiting for a moment to make yourself different, waiting for a game to let Europe, let The world remembers you, so today is! I have a wonderful ideal, and I want you to be the first love of a new generation of fans."


    Aldridge''s words made the players confused.


    First love?


    We came to play football, not to fall in love!


    The players pondered and understood the meaning of Aldridge.


    Aldridge said lightly: "Everyone falls in love with football, there will be an opportunity, a game, a star, a moment, a name, a photo, etc. Sly¡¯s Liverpool, Sacchi¡¯s Milan, European Red Devils Belgium, Chain Defensive Italy, Maradona¡¯s Argentina, Samba Corps Brazil, Barcelona Dream Team, etc., I hope that Millwall can become a fan of countless fans First love, let them fall in love with our football, remember each of our players, and remember the journey we have traveled, and this requires great moments, exciting games, we need our own style, and our own football philosophy , With our fighting spirit, etc., etc., I think that we already have the conditions to achieve greatness, and what we need now is to show our fighting spirit and achieve all this. Do you have faith?"


    The players looked at each other''s teammates. They didn''t scream in excitement today, but stood up and swear in the chest: "Yes!"


    Aldridge nodded and said: "Our opponent is Barcelona, ??but we are not weaker than the other, I think we are stronger! Today, we will beat them with Millwall football, otherwise, I think I will have no face back London."


    Larson asked doubtfully: "Why?"


    "Because our neighbors will laugh at me, not counting Manchester United, Manchester City, Everton, these three clubs have won the European Cup of Winners, City of London, Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea, West Ham United, all four of our neighbors Having won the championship of this cup, if we can¡¯t go back with the trophy, I really feel ashamed. How can we deserve to be the King of London? Ha ha ha."


    Aldridge smiled helplessly spread his hands.


    Simply counting the number of clubs that won the three European Cup championships. England has the most clubs in the Champions League and the European Cup. The UEFA Cup has also had three clubs involved. Even if England has a five-year European suspension period, this is enough to show that England¡¯s status in the European League¡¯s nearly half-century history, although the past few years have been a trough, but with the commercialization of the Premier League and the full recovery of major clubs, England has started a new round of catching up.


    Southgate stood up and said in a deep voice: "In order for the boss to be able to go home with integrity, guys, fight today!"


    "Fight!"


    The players shouted in unison and followed the captain out of the locker room.


    Aldridge also went out afterwards. After he walked out of the player''s passage, the camera on the side of the court quickly pointed at him. The staff also ran three meters in front of him to capture a close-up picture.


    Aldrich turned to Barcelona''s coach seat and politely extended his right hand to Bobby Robson, who was a respectable elder, smiled at him, and the two began a cordial conversation.


    "Jazz, I can play against you here, and my team and I are very excited."


    The gray-haired Robson smiled and said: "I can''t think of a good young coach like you in England, it seems I am really old."


    "But you can still coach a giant like Barcelona, ??are you really old?"


    Aldridge smiled at him, and then he said, "I have no malice towards Barcelona, ??but the media has some reports..."


    "Hey, ignore them, most of the time in the newspaper is shit."


    Aldrich smiled heartily, he didn¡¯t want to turn himself into an undisguised coach who slammed others, but he had his own opinions and ideas to express, but he would be unruly in the process of spreading through the media platform. Reporters easily distorted the facts.


    Turning his head to look at the others in the Barcelona coach seat, Aldridge unexpectedly walked to a young man, saying that he was younger and actually more than a decade older than Aldridge.


    That''s right, Mourinho, the assistant who has followed Bobby Robson since Lisbon, the madman "under God".


    Mourinho has been watching Aldridge. From the moment Aldridge walked out of the player''s channel, his eyes have not left Aldridge. He carefully looked at the well-dressed and confident young man, Mu Rinho was puzzled.


    Why is he so successful when he is so young?


    Did you just have money to buy the club?


    This is impossible!


    What is his way of success? What is the management philosophy? What is the foundation of the tactical philosophy?


    As Robson¡¯s assistant, one of Mourinho¡¯s job is to collect intelligence, so he should be the most knowledgeable of Millwall among all the Barcelona coaches, but he still can¡¯t use words to briefly summarize Milwaukee. If you have a complicated and in-depth discussion on Barcelona¡¯s tactical routine, Barcelona obviously has not much time to prepare for the battle. Moreover, the arrogant giants have always focused on highlighting themselves and will never be led by opponents. The immobile gesture suppresses the opponent and puts the control of the game in his own hands.


    "Hello, Mr. Mourinho."


    Aldrich formally shook hands with Mourinho. The latter stared at him with full of alertness. After shaking the hand, Aldridge found that the other party seemed to be like an enemy, so he smiled and said: "If you If you want to discuss tactics, you can find me. I am also a person who likes to study tactics."


    Aldrich turned away.


    Mourinho stared suspiciously at his back.


    In fact Mourinho''s days in Barcelona will be very difficult next.


    After Robson left, Van Gaal took office, and Mourinho¡¯s work was completely marginalized. For jobs like team training, Robson was handed over to Mourinho, but Van Gaal did not allow him to intervene. , But for Mourinho, who already has a lot of experience, he began to sum up the experience, explore his own football philosophy, and began to discuss with all the people in the football circle he can contact, but in Spain, he It is always a small character that is not seen by the mainstream.


    Aldrich¡¯s words are actually subtexts.


    Regardless of whether Mourinho will be the head coach in the future, and whether he will still join Chelsea, at least, if his workaholic can come to Audridge, he will definitely make Millwall stronger.


    Aldridge walked back to his position with a smile, whispered: "Fortunately, they did not notice."


    Prior to this, Audric also worried about whether he would be recognized by Robson and Mourinho. He was at the scene of the Lisbon press conference five years ago, making Mourinho chased out of anger and almost turned into two. The "little reporter" who was fighting on the street.


    Fortunately, Aldridge made himself disguised at that time. Moreover, the other party would not care about that kind of thing. Aldrich''s figure has changed compared to that of that time, and his voice has also changed.


    With a self-deprecating laugh, Aldridge felt that he had a higher self-esteem. Why should people remember him!


    At this time, the players of both sides entered the field, Aldridge''s smile converged, his eyes became sharp, and the players on the field also looked at him. He looked at each player with his eyes. The encouragement in his eyes, More like the friends of the players, it seems that they simply support them, but the players can gain confidence and strong confidence through the figure of Aldridge!


    He is like a monument of victory, standing forever on the sidelines, sending confidence to every player.


    "The 1996-1997 European Cup Winners'' Cup is about to start. The two teams that entered the finals this year are Millwall from England and Spain''s giants Barcelona. Millwall is the Premier League champion. Barcelona has won the Spanish Super Cup this season. The champion, behind Real Madrid by 2 points in the league, they also reached the finals of the Kings Cup, this is definitely a match between the kings team, the two teams are star-studded, below, introduce the two sides The starting list, Millwall starting 433, goalkeeper: Butt. Defenders: Schneider, Elgra, Southgate, Capdevila. Midfielder: Makelele, Pirlo, Nedvi Germany. Forwards: Larson, Trezeguet, Shevchenko. Barcelona starting lineup 4231, goalkeeper: Baia. Defenders: Frere, Cotto, Abelado, Serge. Double back: Popescu, Guardiola. Avant: Figo, Drapena, Enrique. Forward: Ronaldo. This is a contest between the two young teams. The minimum age of the players on both sides of the game is 18 years old, the biggest is At 29 years old, the average age of Millwall''s starting lineup is close to 23 years old, and the average age of Barcelona''s starting lineup is close to 26 years old. There is no doubt that this is a young matchup!"


    The two players took a group photo before the game, and before preparing for the kick-off, Millwall''s teammates bent in a circle to hug their teammates'' shoulders. Southgate shouted with a calm face: "Milwall! "


    The team roared in unison: "Chong Chong Chong!"


    "Milwall!"


    "Chong Chong Chong!"


    "Milwall!"


    "Chong Chong Chong!"


    After the third shout, everyone stood up together, cheering each other, and then the formation was scattered, ready to kick off.


    In the first half, Millwall kicked off first.

 Chapter 215： Kings meet

    The European Cup Winners'' Cup finals ignited, and Aldridge''s eyes swept through Barcelona''s starting lineup, and he really felt a little miscalculated.


    Some changes in the lineup are not unexpected, but the formation makes him unexpected.


    After Cruyff''s sad curtain call, Robson coached Barcelona this season, changing the team''s formation from 433 to 442. Today it is clear that Millwall has changed the commonly used formation, such as Popes in the lower back position Ku, is to use the back to hit the midfielder, on the one hand to strengthen the front defense in the restricted area, on the other hand is to liberate Guardiola.


    Barcelona¡¯s young lineup is really star-studded. As Aldridge emphasized, Ronaldo is Barcelona¡¯s superstar this season, but if there are not so many outstanding teammates behind him, he will never be able to rise to superstars in three months. height.


    It''s just that among the players who started this game, behind Ronaldo, Figo''s ability is needless to say. Enrique was an absolute main force before Real Madrid. If it is not with the club on the issue of renewal, I am afraid he will not come to Barcelona. Enric is not only diligent on the court, but also a team player with a very obvious role. It is also a kind of player that Aldridge appreciates. He has worked hard and worked tirelessly in the frontcourt: anti-robbing, tandem, and involvement In this type of work, no coach does not like this kind of player. It seems unpretentious, but it is really important.


    And Drapena in the front waist position, the future fame is lower than now, because he is now the Spanish golden boy who is the same as Raul, his deadly pass ability is simply master, Ronaldo scored this season Ruma has a direct relationship with De La Pena''s Ecstasy.


    Afterwards, Guardiola is the hub of the offensive and defensive transition, and the defensive players are also non-nameless generations. Originally, in the Spanish giants, which player has no skill?


    Among the players who did not appear, Pizi, Giovanni, Stoichkov, Blanco... There are always a group of players on the big bench who are the absolute first-line players.


    Although Barcelona used a 4231 formation to limit Millwall, Aldridge did not change his tactics.


    Unlike the old lineup against Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona is young and the game is a 90-minute game.


    Taking 11 players from both sides alone to compare ability, Barcelona''s offensive ability is absolutely overwhelming, and on defense, maybe everyone is equal.


    Therefore, the outside world is more optimistic about Barcelona.


    But there is a word that Americans like to emphasize very much. Aldrich believes it is the key point of the game: team chemistry!


    The Barcelona team''s individual ability value stack exceeds Millwall.


    But for the team''s ability to chemistry, Aldridge believes Millwall is better.


    Although Barcelona is also playing the team, it has never reached a special level, especially when the team looks at both the offense and the defense.


    Not to mention Ronaldo, Drapena made very little contribution to the defensive end.


    It''s no surprise that Barcelona has more firepower than Real Madrid this season. The league has nearly 20 more goals than Real Madrid, but is still catching up with Real Madrid. The defense is not particularly good. Their number of goals conceded is the highest in the La Liga quarterfinals.


    Aldrich believes that Millwall only has to play his own style to win the game. If he thinks about how to limit his opponent''s personal play from the beginning, the game will be difficult to play.


    The main player of Millwall has been rested for almost half a month. Today, the game is full of energy and enthusiasm. After the game started, the team quickly entered the game, focusing on the large-scale running in the process of the game. Never hesitate.


    Pirlo is still the midfield commander. When he takes the ball, there are at least three teammates running around to allow him to choose the ball path, and he calmly took the ball in the symbolic press of Drapena, decisive and correct .


    Before Schneider took the ball all the way to the side, Guardiola assisted the side to press, Schneider passed the ball in the middle, the back of Nedvide stopped the ball, and then left the ball in place Rushing forward, this way of making the ball makes Barcelona feel strange, because it seems that Millwall has lost the ball. In fact, it is only Nedved that Pirlo who is plugged into the attack can hold the ball and avoid the return pass. The speed at which Pirlo stopped the ball stagnated.


    They have a dazzling technical display in training. Although it is not a fancy action of combining the human ball with the foot, it is a match to play the time difference and challenge the defensive players'' nerves and judgment.


    For example, for this ball, Popescu hesitated for a second and took a step to grab the ball, but he couldn¡¯t possibly hit the ball in front of Pirlo, but the ball stopped there, between the electric flint, instinct Thinking went beyond reason, so he took the wrong step. Just as he withdrew his body, Nedvide had ran away from him three meters away, Pirlo rushed forward and passed straight, Nedvide took At the same time, the ball also broke through Barcelona''s defensive line.


    In front of Abelado, Nedved passed the ball to the right of Lushevchenko on the right. The latter kept the ball in a restricted pass. After Nedved inserted the ball in front, it was already a semi-single shot opportunity. He forced Get up and hit with a volley.


    Baia did not respond, slammed!


    The ball hit the outside of the goal post and the bottom line popped up!


    This wave of offense hit the clouds, the Barcelona players couldn''t even touch the ball, the audience in the stands were dumbfounded, especially the neutral fans, this is the beauty they can''t feel through the whole scene in front of the TV football.


    Millwall launched the attack from the backcourt, the combination of the side and the middle and the depth through the middle, continuous and fast pass, the player passed the running position like a ruthless knife torn open Barcelona''s defense.


    Applause rang from the stands, but Nedved ran back expressionlessly, and he ran two meters in front of Guardiola to make a defensive stance.


    Guardiola is surprised that he is standing in front of a Nedved in the absence of the ball, and there is a French guy Trezeguet staring at him. This is the rhythm of staring at the forward!


    On the wing, Larson and Shevchenko also retreated to the half and **** with the full-back to compress the space between Figo and Enrique.


    Pirlo and Makelele attacked Drapena. If Drapena retreated, Makelele''s position will not move. Pirlo''s retracement is deeper, because Makelele will also fight Ronaldo with the defender line to compress this alien. Event space.


    This scene can''t be seen in the close-up live TV broadcast, but the coach and fans can see it clearly on the sidelines and in the stands.


    Not to mention Robson''s brow furrowed, even Mourinho looked dignified.


    The position and running of the players on the field can be seen. Millwall purposely defended the three lines closely together to cut Barcelona''s formation, but never risk it, if Barcelona''s ball rights return to the defender On the line, Millwall''s forward will not fight for the ball.


    If Barcelona''s centre-back has the organizational ability to move forward, then Millwall will only choose to compress the backcourt space.


    Due to the intensity of the La Liga game and a national derby just played a few days ago, the Barcelona players did not enter the state after the game started, Popescu took the ball in the midfield and backcourt and passed the ball to the front to respond. De la pena.


    The new star of Spain¡¯s new generation of passing organizations is not particularly fast. He seems to be particularly confident in his ability at the feet. On the premise that Figo and Enrique did not run out of space, he chose to turn around and pass by. Pirlo wanted to get rid of, but Pirlo easily reached his foot and flicked his ball.


    The ball rolled to the left, Larsson touched the ball before Enrique, and poke the ball directly to the middle. Before Makelele received the ball, Drapena flew up and the former easily kicked the ball gently. Going forward, Pirlo stepped forward to take the ball, and then directly passed a long pass to the opponent''s penalty area.


    When Pirlo''s first steal was successful, Trezeguet started to run forward. At this time, he just pressed the last line of Barcelona''s back line, Cotto''s flat line position. Barcelona''s attack stopped abruptly in the midfield. This was unexpected for their players. When Pirlo made a long pass, the defenders were walking forward, and suddenly the ball came back, and Cotto immediately pulled back and ran.


    Baia decisively abandoned the goal and Trezeguet headed the header when he had just crossed the penalty area line.


    Baia jumped up halfway and reached out to block, the fingertip actually touched the ball!


    Trezeguet shook his head sadly, then immediately turned around and ran back to find Guardiola.


    The blocked ball landed next to Abelado. He made a big foot and went to the frontcourt, which was actually a bit of a panic.


    The ball fell to the wing, Figo took the ball, turned around and had no choice, so he dribbled forward. Today he faced Schneider counterpoint and immediately showed his skillful dribbling technique.


    Schneider will never blindly go to steal, he knows that it will only allow the opponent to easily break through, and then throw away himself.


    He stuck the position of the inside line, Figo chose the bottom, Schneider still guarded the inside line and pressed tightly. Figo, such as a winger who did not rely on speed, mainly relied on foot skills. The combination of human and ball is a master. Shi As long as Ned doesn''t lose his position, he can keep up with Figo in speed, and he won''t be left alone.


    Schneider''s confidence is getting stronger by slowing down his opponent''s rhythm, allowing his teammates to set up a defensive formation, and compressing his opponent''s space.


    Figo deceived Schneider with a false move to force the inside of the baseline, but he just pulled the ball in place and pulled out of the neutral and then passed it.


    In the penalty area, Elgra force out Ronaldo header to make a clearance. Makelele, who was protected by two points near the penalty area, didn''t wait for the ball to land on the header, and consciously pushed the ball to the left.


    After Capdevila received the ball, he made a diagonal pass and Nedvide took the ball. Millwall''s stormy counterattack swept again towards the Barcelona gate...


    Although Nedvide hit a goal and hit the post before, Trezeguet made a single-headed header and was saved by goalkeeper Baia, but Aldridge didn''t feel regret at all.


    This is one of the most normal manifestations of football games. Not every good opportunity will become a goal.


    Moreover, the game has not completely entered the track of the Millwall team winning.


    He is waiting, observing.


    Barcelona''s attack was severely blocked, and the midfield was completely passive. Guardiola took the ball as the core of the offensive and defensive conversion in the midfield and back. Teammates dare not pass the ball to him.


    And Drapena is also limited by Pirlo and Makelele, and has no room to play.


    Ronaldo was also helpless in the frontcourt.


    Before the game, all British media were recruiting for Millwall, proposing various theories to limit Ronaldo.


    But the focus of Aldridge''s arrangement on the team''s defense is not Ronaldo, but the teammates behind Ronaldo.


    Ronaldo is a top scorer and a great figure in football history, but he is not all-round! He needs teammates to play for him, he needs teammates to help him, he needs a strong team!


    This is true whether it is in the giants or in the national team.


    Ronaldo who got the ball, even if he took the ball from the back, the threat will be full, but Ronaldo who can''t get the ball, how can he threaten? This kind of thinking is similar to the ball control advocated by Cruyff, except that one is for offense and one is for defense.


    First, to reduce Ronaldo''s chance to take the ball, and secondly to compress his space for taking the ball, even if he gets the ball, he will not be allowed to get a shot in the dangerous area!


    After playing the game for more than 20 minutes, Barcelona''s offense became monotonous, the midfield couldn''t stop the offense, and a personal breakthrough on the wing became a common way to reverse the situation, but Millwall''s defense was very successful.


    Gradually, Barcelona''s backcourt players had to press up to increase the point of play, giving them more options when attacking.


    Observing the premise of the start of the Barcelona defender line, Aldridge''s cold eyes flashed, showing a hint of fanaticism.

 Chapter 216： Strong to show you!

    It was not until the twenty-ninth minute of the first half that Ronaldo had a chance to shoot.


    Enrique made a direct pass to Ronaldo after receiving Figo''s horizontal pass to the middle.


    Ronaldo, who took the ball from the back, flexibly swept the Southside''s close-up marking, but he was about to complete the turn. Elgra appeared in front of him. Ronaldo could only continue to take the ball to the right. In this area, his shooting angle became narrow in an instant.


    Southgate retreated and came behind Elgra, and the two re-built a double-insurance defensive line, while Ronaldo continued to take to the bottom line and suddenly kicked in the middle of the way.


    Due to the narrow shooting angle, Bout steadily blocked the near corner of the goal, and this foot was blocked by his foot against the earth.


    Seeing this defense, Millwall fans were sweating nervously, but Aldridge nodded in satisfaction.


    Ronaldo who took the ball threatened to break the table, and when defending him, he must not rush to rush, otherwise he will be given a chance to be outstanding, and he will be very clean. There is no other way to contain this alien except for fouls. people.


    Southgate did not chase Ronaldo after being wiped out for the first time. On the contrary, he knew that Elgra must appear in front of Ronaldo, so he chose to retreat and continue to defend, not giving Ronaldo a break after the breakthrough.


    The aliens were forced to use the speed to break out, and the threat of shooting later plummeted.


    Millwall''s defense worked hard to study the freezing of Ronaldo.


    Especially Ronaldo this season, did not show too much extraordinary skills, especially the famous pendulum pendulum, get rid of the ball in place and other techniques.


    This season, he relied more on explosiveness and speed, as well as flexibly changing to tough opponents.


    After catching the ball, he rushed forward, and unreasonably told all opponents with actual actions: I am faster than you!


    Only when he went to the Serie A stadium and met the top defense line, he had the next stage of technical leap, the reason is also very simple, he just went to Serie A, those defenders do not pay attention to him, so he rampaged by speed One guard after another played, but after that, the Serie A defenders were smart enough to meet him, plus Italy''s proud chain defense, Ronaldo began to decline by speed threats, plus injuries, aliens are not allowed Don¡¯t start to use another superior technique to face the line of defense, that is, ¡°fraud¡±. When he gets rid of the original position, he waits for his opponent to strike first, and then passes the opponent in a preemptive manner. Deduction at the foot, known as a superb textbook, is not worthy of fame.


    Now that Ronaldo takes the ball, it is like an F1 racing car with a high speed. The defenders want to intercept head-on, which is basically impossible!


    But can''t stop it, you can use guidance to make F1 deviate from the target trajectory.


    Southgate and Elgra won''t make it easy, relying on the defensive position and defensive range to press Ronaldo away from the goal area the most, even if it can''t be perfect, such as Ronaldo''s sudden pause in the ball rhythm. Shooting, but before that, give the goalkeeper time to prepare, which is also one of the duties of the defenders.


    Barcelona''s offensive play was very difficult, which made the Barcelona coaching staff seem to see a repeat of a game, that is, the first round of the Spanish National Derby League game against Real Madrid.


    The backcourt players are moving more and more forward, which gives Barcelona a lot of support in the frontcourt. Ronaldo took the ball again in four minutes to prove that he only touched the ball and scored zero shots in the first 28 minutes. But after the backcourt attacked, he had a two-footed shot within five minutes.


    However, the second foot missed the shot. Similarly, his starting position was not good.


    Two minutes later, Ronaldo tried to force a breakthrough from the middle, but this time, Southgate let the ball roll over when he passed, and his card position was in physical confrontation with Ronaldo. At the same time, Elgra came from behind Ronaldo returned without success after killing the ball.


    Elgra broke the ball and took a step laterally, then crossed the side.


    Figo stretched his foot to intercept the ball, but it was half a meter away. Just behind him, Schneider ran at high speed, took a step forward after receiving the ball, and then passed the ball back in front of the middle.


    Nedved retreated under Guardiola''s pressure and faced the rolling ball. He made a pass back and Pirlo came up and hit the ball straight.


    The pass of this foot passed to the nearest second and directly penetrated the entire defense line of Barcelona. The ball rolled in the center of Cotto and Frere. In front, Popescu was two meters away from the ball, almost able to Encountered, Cotto and Friel are also about three meters away.


    And on the trajectory of the ball rolling over, Larson pierced the heart of Barcelona like a knife.


    Before Barcelona''s back line pressed forward, it wasn''t retracted at this time. Larson took the ball and stepped forward to take the ball and went to the meeting with a single pole!


    The crazy lion fans in the stands stared at Larson with wide eyes.


    Henrik, be our hero!


    Aldridge was also focused on the sidelines staring at Larson, who was single-handedly killing the penalty area.


    His heart was beating violently, Aldridge was a little dry, and he even felt that today''s tie is like a rope loop on the gallows, making it difficult for him to breathe.


    Robson frowned, too late to sigh Millwall''s counterattack was too fast, and prayed to Baia to play again in a world class, don''t let us down!


    Baia also chose to give up this time. He knows that he is facing the best striker in Europe this time. Although he does not have the shocking impact of Ronaldo, Larson is the king of efficiency! A well-deserved scoring machine!


    Larson was so fast, he never hesitated in shooting, and he was incredibly calm.


    This time, he observed Baia''s position, and found that the other side abandoned the door and ran towards him, Larson decisively kicked his foot.


    Twenty-five yards away from the goal, Larson shot with a leg in the run.


    The ball flew under his feet and flew into the sky with a strong spin.


    It was obviously an arc ball, but it seemed a bit worrying because it seemed to fly very high.


    Larson was very confident in his shot. Baia was helpless. The ball not only crossed the top of his head, but also on the upper left side of the body. He jumped and didn''t jump: he couldn''t reach the ball.


    Looking at the track where he shot the ball, Larson''s eyes were firm and his fists clenched.


    Larson, who is almost 26 years old, has a low-key life off the court and will not provoke right and wrong in the face of the media. Although the media is always comparing him with Ronaldo and talking about who is better, it seems that this is the fate of the top striker. , Compare, Compare, Compare... Compare with Hiller, compare with Fowler, compare with all the top strikers on the shooter list.


    Five years older than Ronald, he has no intention of competing with anyone. He is just doing what he can do: scoring goals.


    However, since the boss firmly declared that he was better.


    Then, boss, I will show you!


    The ball crossed a rainbow in the sky and the dead end of the goal hit the net!


    "Wonderful goal! The sky in Rotterdam raised a dazzling rainbow, one end of this rainbow is Larsen''s right foot, and the other end is the gate of Barcelona! Millwall took the lead to break the goal, Larson, Larson , Incredible Larson, watching him break the door is a pleasure, simple and sharp, a fatal blow!"


    Aldrich closed his eyes and snarled, trembling in front of him with his fists in both hands!


    Millwall''s coaching staff rushed out, and everyone hugged and cheered for the goal.


    After seeing the goal, Larson''s expression was suddenly bright, and he changed from the dignity of the deep hope to a bold laugh. He ran to the side with open arms, as if a gust of wind had passed, and the fans in the nearby stands of Millwall set off. The wave, the fans holding the sign was caught by the live TV camera, and gave a few seconds of close-up.


    "We have no aliens, but we have the king of the earth: Larson!"


    When the teammates grabbed Larson and hugged together to celebrate, the fans in the nearby stands also clenched their fists and shouted, cheering the names of the players, but after screaming, the fans paid their respects to Larson action.


    This is the 50th goal he scored in various events this season!


    Schneider gave Larson a shoe shine on one knee.


    "The first half is not over yet, but Millwall''s football has completely conquered the fans. I mean neutral fans. In addition to the expressionless Barcelona fans in the stands, the other fans stood up and applauded. We saw Millwall''s passing rate is so dazzlingly fast, the offensive routines are changing, they are like holding a remote control, precisely controlling the ball to roll around, during the goal just now, Schneider, Nedvi Germany, Pirlo, Larson, even counting Elgra, Millwall completed the goal with only five passes and four shots and one shot! Looking at the goals alone, there is a certain appreciation, but If you look at the goal process from start to finish, it is the most advanced enjoyment!"


    After the goal was conceded by Barcelona, ??Mourinho said to Robson: "This goal is exactly the same as when we played Real Madrid for the first time this season."


    The offensive and defensive transition is fast, the midfield is quickly over, the ball is simple and smooth, and finally a fatal pass is made. The striker breaks the goal, and the lightning is undefeated.


    Robson shook his head helplessly and sighed: "It is indeed so."


    "The player in front should come back. Ronaldo couldn''t get the ball near the penalty area, so he returned to the half to get the ball. If he still can''t get the ball, he will go back deeper. The whole offensive player should be like this."


    Robson still shook his head.


    Mourinho said many suggestions and opinions.


    "The stronger part of Millwall is in their front waist. The Czech, look at his contribution on the defensive end. When the ball is in our second half, he is staring at Guardiola. If the ball goes to the frontcourt, , He can retreat to the front of the penalty area to defend, and our front midfielder, where Della Pena is defending, where are others?"


    Mourinho only pointed out the corner of the iceberg where Barcelona''s defensive end was insufficient. He did not dare to say that Ronaldo and Figo, if the match is compared, whether it is Larsen, Shevchenko and Trezeguet, when defending At least able to withdraw to the second half, this is the least!


    While Barcelona¡¯s 4231 top 31 is in the front four, only Enrique¡¯s anti-robbing defensive attitude is the most positive, and the performance is qualified. The comparison of other people and Millwall players, pure defensive scores, is definitely a world difference. do not.


    There is no way to change it all at once. The La Liga field is originally focused on midfield control. Once you can¡¯t control the scene, you may be beaten and collapsed, but there are not many scenes of the giants¡¯ collapse. They are used to attacking more than 70% of the time. The defense is naturally negligent.


    Robson turned to look at the chattering Mourinho and said in a deep voice: "Jos¨¦, you have to understand that the coach''s task is not only to win the ball, but also to win beautifully. "


    Mourinho opened his mouth and finally chose silence.


    It''s not a cold three feet. There is no perfect team. Even if the head coach finds the problem, it may not be able to correct the problem. Sometimes, this is not related to the head coach''s ability, but is caused by too many complicated factors.


    Millwall scored a goal, which increased their confidence and their attitude towards the game. They want to ensure that they will not leave the Netherlands with regret after the game!

 Chapter 217： Classic and dead end

    After Larsson scored a goal, Aldridge gave the players a gesture before the kick-off in Barcelona, ??and players on the field immediately understood.


    After the kick-off, Millwall''s offense began to lean to the left, Pirlo''s offensive scheduling began to lean to Larson''s side, and Larson also became a key figure in Barcelona''s defense.


    Until the end of the first half, Barcelona did not slow down the blow after losing the ball. Millwall had been suppressing the situation on the field. During the first half, they barely controlled the midfield for a minute!


    After halftime, the two teams walked into the locker room. Robson face was grim, but there was some luck in his heart. Fortunately, he didn''t drop the second ball in the first half.


    Aldridge returned to the locker room and closed the door, asking aloud, "Who is tired?"


    Although the players were wet with sweat, the players shouted collectively: "No!"


    The full-strength preparation is close to half a month, just for today¡¯s 90 minutes. They are more hard-working and more active than Barcelona in the first half, and they have more running distance, but they are not tired at all. Their physical advantage is not to talk about. All are intuitively reflected in the game.


    Aldrich nodded happily and continued: "Give us 45 minutes, we can score a goal for Barcelona, ??give us 90 minutes, we can completely destroy Barcelona! In the second half, we can''t relax, we can''t make stupid low-level mistakes! We are not Hot, but we just want to tell the world that Barcelona is not our opponent! We are the stronger team, I believe you are not afraid of them, we have more opportunities in the first half, they have little power to fight back, the second half, There is only one of our enemies: ourselves! Don¡¯t be distracted, don¡¯t think about how to celebrate after winning the championship, and don¡¯t adjust yourself with your opponent¡¯s state, just come up with your best state and face the game with the most serious attitude, regardless What happened, remember our tactics, carry out firmly, we will win, I don¡¯t want to see anyone slack and make mistakes, in that case, you will make yourself sorry, and will also disappoint the efforts of teammates, but I I firmly believe that you will not, because we are?"


    "Crazy Lion!"


    ...


    Aldridge did not make tactical adjustments in the midfield. Their tactical changes have been handy in the game. Aldrich made a gesture and the players knew what to do.


    While Barcelona was suppressed in the first half, Aldridge did not want to make any adjustments.


    If he starts to keep the advantage of one goal now, then he is equivalent to giving the initiative back to Barcelona. He can¡¯t do this. He inspires the players to make them think uniformly, don¡¯t manage the score, and concentrate on defending every opponent. Offensively, make every effort to score more goals!


    This will be a landmark battle. Audric is going to take away from the Netherlands, not only a dazzling championship trophy, but also to show Millwall football to Europe and the world!


    At the beginning of the second half, Barcelona''s frontcourt players retreated and received more and more range. Millwall''s offense continued at the end of the first half, or played on the side of Larsen.


    Enrique''s repression on the right was not strong enough, which allowed Capdevila to have room to assist when attacking, and the fight between the two teams was also heated up.


    Larsson catches the ball on the left wing, and Friel takes a close look. After Larsson takes the ball, he takes a step laterally and passes the ball to the left baseline.


    Capdevila quickly plugged in, Enrique desperately chased back, the former crossed the ball on the ball, Trezeguet failed to grab the point, the ball was cleared by Cotto at the front point, and the ball in the penalty area popped up and fell in Popescu At the foot, he handled the ball a step slower. After Nedved''s successful counter-attack, he knocked the ball to Larsen who came to the penalty area. The latter took a long shot and the ball slid out.


    Larson shook his head regretfully, and then turned back to run to defend in the backcourt.


    Seeing the running position of Millwall players on the court, the most shocking person on the sidelines was Mourinho.


    Millwall''s forward who scored 50 goals in various events that season, what was his first reaction after shooting? Run back to defend!


    How can such a team not be strong?


    And he also saw that, because Millwall¡¯s forward went back to defense, they had more room to strike forward during the counterattack, so that the defender intercepted from the front when making rapid advances, and there was no judgment error, and in terms of speed, A forward running at a high speed from the front rushed over. Once the defender was hit behind the ball, then he had to turn around and accelerate again. It was logical to be thrown away easily.


    Barcelona¡¯s crux is not too difficult to gain insight. The front is too long to connect with the three lines, and Millwall cuts with active defensive layers.


    The striker is in front, the midfield is frozen, if the guards stay at the back, the success rate of the offensive organization is very low, which requires the striker to retreat, the midfielder runs more to pull out the neutral, and the defender line also participates in the countermeasures. And this seems to be in the midst of Millwall.


    How to crack the Millwall set, Mourinho racked his brains and finally realized that maybe the other party ran faster to make the advantage so obvious.


    The ambiguity of the characters is also thought-provoking.


    Not only is Nedved, the responsibility of the forward back defense, the backcourt player participating in the response, the multi-point flowering of the offense, etc., in the entire tactical system of Millwall, it is difficult to put a fixed responsibility on a player¡¯s head. On the top, even if it is Makelele, his short pass is accurate and he is also sharing Pirlo¡¯s organizational task. Pirlo is an important commander, but it is not the only organization player. When Nedved needs to pass the threat, the internal De Verde can also make such an effect.


    What should Barcelona do?


    When Mourinho had a headache as an assistant, Barcelona scored!


    Figo didn''t choose to go back after receiving the ball, because he pulled back very deeply, Schneider didn''t put it on. After all, if he pressed forward, there was a lot of empty space behind him. Protecting the space was more important than personal marking.


    While Figo unexpectedly cut the ball in the middle, Drapena attracted the attention of Makelele, and Pirlo ran reflexively to intercept Figo, but Figo passed it easily.


    Makelele retreated to the penalty area and began to drive to Figo, but he saw a fierce long shot from the corner of the penalty area 30 yards outside Figo!


    The ball hit hard and hit the crossbar with a bang, but Bout had already rushed out, but because of the tricky angle, the ball came again suddenly, he did not touch the ball, but the ball bounced out.


    De La Pena got the ball in the penalty area and Makelele quickly made it, but De La Pena made a through ball and sent it to the right rib of the penalty area.


    Enrique kicked the ball and hurried to pass the ball, Ronaldo stopped the ball near the penalty spot in the penalty area!


    Southgate and Elgra happened to be between Ronaldo one after the other. I saw aliens swinging their legs to make a shot. Elgra immediately lifted his leg to block. Southgate did not walk behind Ronaldo. Dare to move, can only squeeze each other with his body.


    Elgra felt that his body could block the opponent''s shooting angle, but the next second, Ronaldo turned the ball horizontally.


    Fake action!


    Elgra lost focus and Southgate was powerless. When he slid a shovel to block Ronaldo''s real shot, the ball was already flying towards the goal.


    The football rolled into the dead end against the inside of the goal post.


    Barcelona equalized in the 67th minute of the second half!


    "Ronaldo shot, no, he didn''t shoot, he shook Elgera and shot! The goal was scored! Ronaldo scored an equalizer and he successfully deceived everyone on the Millwall line! He will surely become Great shooter, surely, although Larson scored more goals than him, Ronaldo is only 20 years old!"


    After Ronaldo scored a goal, the Barcelona bench was jubilant. When he saw the goal in the contemplative Mourinho, he rushed out and waved his arms to celebrate. Although the coach Robson was happy, he stepped forward to calm Mourinho.


    This is just an equalized goal!


    But the Barcelona players are very excited. They are direct participants in the game. They know better than anyone how difficult this goal is!


    Millwall has always had the advantage, but failed to expand the score, the players involuntarily looked at Aldridge.


    However, Aldridge clenched his right fist and gestured in front of him, then showed his thumb and pointed to the door of Barcelona.


    The players quickly put away their lost emotions after losing the ball.


    When the game restarted, Barcelona seemed to want to chase after the victory, as soon as Millwall kicked off, they rushed.


    The ball rolls back and forth at Millwall players'' feet, and the players take it easy and pass with precision.


    Trezeguet, Shevchenko, Pirlo, Makelele, Southgate, Capdevila, Southgate, Schneider, Pirlo, Larson, Nedved...


    After the kickback, the 11-foot pass was all successful, and the ball also went from the midfield to the backcourt, then returned to the midfield, and then came to Larsen''s feet.


    Barcelona threw too hard, and the ball came to the feet of Larson, who was the most threatened in their eyes. This made their back line like an enemy, and panicly forced them up. Larson passed the ball back to Ned. Vader, the latter kept the ball straight and Larson was out of position, but the ball didn''t pass to his side.


    All Barcelona defensive players thought it would be Larsen to complete the final blow forward, but did not expect that Nedved''s pass to Shevchenko on the other side.


    The Ukrainian nuclear warhead spun off Sergei and went straight into the penalty area. Baia rushed to grab the ball in a bad situation, but Shevchenko was half a step faster. He slammed the ball away first, and the direction of the ball rolled shocked Baia. : In front of the door!


    The goal is already empty!


    Abelado flew out to make a clearance, but he failed to touch the ball. Trezeguet also flew out the body at the back point before grabbing Cotto. A shovel shot, the toe first touched the ball and hit the ball In the gate of Barcelona.


    When this goal was scored, the audience fell into a short period of tranquility.


    The audience all looked dumbfounded.


    what happened?


    The narrator is so excited that he cannot hold himself.


    "Larsen returns Nedved. Nedved keeps the ball on the right side of the penalty area. Shevchenko appears there! He passes the ball to the middle before Baia, and Trezeguet falls to the ground. The ball is scored! The goal is scored! Millwall quickly led again after being equalized. Barcelona didn¡¯t even touch the ball after the kick-back! We counted, counted, Millwall After using a 13-foot pass, Trezeguet ended the offense. He turned his teammates'' efforts into a golden goal! The first kick was passed by him in the middle circle and the last kick The shot was also done by him! What else can we say? This is a model of team football!"


    Trezeguet roared to the sidelines and took off his jersey to celebrate.


    With 20 minutes left in the game, Aldridge set to make a substitution.


    Barak, Zambrotta, and Glenchar are already on standby before the bench.


    Benitez, Jenson and Craig told the three players about their roles and responsibilities after playing.


    Barcelona just equalized the score and fell behind again in less than a minute, which caused them a huge blow.


    Robson immediately dispatched his troops, and the coach is about to fight!


    Rarely, the two teams are replaced at the same time, and both are replaced by three!


    Millwall replaced Capdevila with Zambrotta, Glencharre replaced Trezeguet, and Barak replaced Pirlo.


    The formation changed to 4231, with Shevchenko at the top, Larson and Glenchard on the wings, and Barak and Makelele.


    Barcelona replaced Popescu with Pizi, Stoichkov replaced Frere, and Giovanni replaced Aberado.


    What formation does Barcelona play after substitutions?


    God knows!


    A pure defensive player on the field is not a goalkeeper, only Sergi and Cotto are left! Even with Guardiola at the back, there are only three!

 Chapter 218： Lets fight!

    If Bobby Robson''s substitution method is placed ten years later, then the head coach will be so crazy to substitute, most fans will think of a person: the madman Mourinho.


    At this time, Mourinho was learning by Robson to learn how to be a coach. Robson''s bold and crazy shadow was no wonder that madmen also showed up occasionally since then.


    The team is behind and there is not much time. Robson''s substitutions are not stunned.


    In the two rounds of the Spanish Kings Cup this season, when Barcelona fell behind to Atletico Madrid, Robson used a similar crazy substitution. In the end, Barcelona staged a miracle of a big score reversal!


    This is a substitution pattern with a precedent for success.


    But in essence, it is nothing more than accumulating offensive players to boost morale, offensive advantage in the frontcourt, unity of team thinking, etc.


    Everyone sees how the head coach changes, and they all know how to play.


    The coach has a taboo, that is to not change in adversity, unchanged is equal to surrender, and after the change is to win or lose, depends on ability and luck, at least tried hard, tried.


    If you need a miracle, in addition to prayers, you also need to use your own actions to provide space for the miracle to happen.


    Aldridge also replaced three people, and his substitutions seem to be stable, but they are actually fighting!


    After changing other head coaches and seeing Barcelona replacing three or strikers or offensive players with striker attributes, the first thing is to change the central defender to increase the defensive strength in the penalty area.


    But Aldridge did not do this. The defensive system is a very mysterious existence. It is difficult for the naked eye to sort out the complex factors inside. Will the three-backs be more reliable than the double-backs?


    not necessarily!


    The defensive tacit central defenders understand their defensive zone, where is the key position, and also know the movement track of their partner, but what about the three central defenders? Suddenly added a defensive partner, and did not practice this defensive mode during training. The degree of tacit understanding is almost zero. The presence of one more person does not necessarily mean an increase in defensive strength. There may be one more person to add chaos, even if it comes This person will work hard, but it virtually destroys the originally clear and stable defensive mode.


    But on the court, I have to admit that there is luck.


    If Barcelona accumulates six or seven offensive players in the frontcourt and quickly scored goals to equalize the score, then they will fall into a frenzy, commonly known as: crazy!


    Therefore, this moment is also a test for Millwall.


    Aldridge strengthens the interception of the midfielder. The four backs remain unchanged. The front is a double midfielder and then forward. Nedved''s defense must press Guardiola, don¡¯t look at the accumulation of so many forwards Frontcourt, but in dense areas of the frontcourt, the organization will be difficult. If the defense against Guardiola is weakened, then Audric can even imagine what it will look like: Guardiola is near the middle circle Calmly dispatched, other offensive players in Barcelona stormed the frontcourt and bombarded Millwall goals.


    Larsson and Glenn Charles retreated to defense. Millwall was more like 4411 when defending. He would never change his position because of the substitution of the opponent. The skilled defense system would not change.


    Robson stood on the sidelines sternly and watched the battle. Although Aldridge was calm and calm, his eyes radiated a beast-like light.


    Now that the game is here, it''s a moment of life and death!


    The fans in the stands are very excited, especially the neutral fans. At this time of the game, it has become very exciting. Seeing the posture of Barcelona is just a wreck. Can Millwall withstand the pressure? !


    Three Barcelona forwards, Ronaldo, Pizi and Giovanni.


    But Millwall¡¯s defense is very dense at this time, the distance between the defender and the waist is about three meters, and there are people all around. Barcelona¡¯s attack from the wing can¡¯t penetrate the ground at all. Figo and En Rick frequently used his personal abilities on both sides to create the ball empty, but the threat of passing the ball in a hurry is not a big threat, but the most worrying thing is that it will create chaos. When the crowd is dense, the chaos is most likely to be lost. ball.


    Figo returned with Sergi behind him, and the latter directly took a big foot and passed the penalty area.


    Elgra pressed Pidzi to make a header, but the ball went straight out of the penalty area. After Stoichkov put the ball in the chest to stop the ball, he did not give Barak the chance to destroy the ball.


    Fans of the crazy lion dare not watch it!


    Aldrich¡¯s heart was also stimulated.


    "Bute has done a great job! He firmly caught Stoichkov''s imperative long-range hands! Another good goalkeeper appeared in Germany!"


    Bout immediately observed the situation on the field after climbing from the ground.


    Millwall''s players did not rejoice after the defensive success, and the formation immediately changed from contraction to dispersal.


    Bout rushed to the front of the penalty area line with the ball, and then tossed the ball to Zambrotta on the left when the Barcelona player quickly retreated. The latter took the ball and passed it straight to the center line. Larson on the left.


    This side is a loophole in Barcelona''s defense. Larson just got the ball and Guardiola rushed over, but Larson didn''t try to break through, but he started from the spot and passed the ball diagonally to the right.


    Due to mental inertia, when Larsson took the ball, the defensive player withdrawing from Barcelona focused his attention on him.


    But the ball was transferred to the right, and the ball was about to go out of the bounds. Glenchard struck the ball back into the bounds, and then broke out at full speed. Sergey rushed over to shovel the ball out, Glenxia With a toe, the ball was pushed forward, and then his rhythm was paused to avoid being brought down by Sergei. Then he rode the dust and killed the Barcelona penalty area.


    At this time, only Barcelona goalkeeper Baia and defender Cotto remain.


    Cotto stepped back and stared at Shevchenko, and consciously blocked the space in which Glenchard drew the ball.


    Fans of Mad Lion roared wildly: "Jespe! Kick the ball into the goal of Barcelona! Kick the **** ball!"


    The tremendously fledgling Glencarre took the ball into the penalty area. He had a shooting angle. Cotto alone could not block his shooting angle. At this time, Cotto gave up Shevchenko and forced him up. Glenn Shire lifted his foot, Cotto blocked in front of him, but saw Glenchard unexpectedly knocked the ball across the middle, but Shevchenko had stopped after avoiding the offside position.


    The undead Czech Nedved rushed to the ground and took a step forward after catching the ball. Baia, who was gnashing his teeth, abandoned the goal again, and this time, Nedvide just moved at the goalkeeper and he immediately lifted his foot. Shot.


    This is almost a penalty distance. Nedvide¡¯s undisturbed calm volley is vigorously sinking. The ball flew like a cannonball from the side of Baia one meter. The trajectory is from bottom to top. Flying into the goal, the speed is so unclear!


    "Millwall scored again! 3:1, 3:1, 3:1... Nedved helped Millwall score another goal! Will he help the team win the championship? Only the game is left Eight minutes later, Barcelona are two goals behind! Two goals behind!"


    Nedved ran all the way to the bench after scoring a goal. Aldridge and all the coaches and players surrounded him, and everyone hugged and roared wildly.


    "We will be the champion! We will be the champion! We will be the **** champion!"


    Aldridge embraced every player who ran over, and then held their foreheads against each other, with a stern voice: "There are still ten minutes, you are the champion! Take the champion''s will and performance, and stick to the end A moment!"


    Although the players were very excited, under the stimulation of Aldridge''s words like "Witcher Hypnosis", when they returned to the court, their expressions became serious and ambitious, just like natural warriors.


    When Nedved was the last to walk back to the field, Aldridge gestured his back with two fingers, and then proudly gestured two thumbs to the audience.


    Crazy Lion fans shouted in unison: "Crazy Lion God of War! Pavel Nedved!"


    Even more excited fans took off their clothes and stood on the shoulders of their companions with the help of their buddies, continually waving their fists and roaring grimly.


    "Does anyone regret it? Does anyone regret it? Sha scribes, coaches! Are you **** watching the game? Are you watching? Did you see the performance of Larsson and Nedved? Grass mud horse! Who still Dare to say that they are not the best in Europe, the best in the world! Which team refuses to accept? Our crazy lion stepped on your service!"


    Fans'' emotions are selfish and simple, as long as the players they support perform well, then he is the world''s number one!


    Barcelona''s goal loss caused a heavy blow to their morale. Guardiola was deprived of the captain''s armband this season, but still has a leader''s temperament. He and Enrique, Cotto and others continue to cheer for their teammates.


    With time, we can create miracles!


    Barcelona''s strong faith is supporting them to continue their efforts.


    But Millwall did not relax at all. Except Shevchenko was only dragged in the middle circle, the other players went back to participate directly in the defense.


    Aldridge''s tense nerves are still not loose. Even after Nedved scored, he scored two goals ahead of the score. He still thinks that the suspense of the game is not over.


    Is one goal ahead of insurance? Not insured!


    But even more unsafe is the two-ball lead!


    Is this theory strange?


    Not at all. Because one goal leads, all players know that as long as the opponent scores a goal, the score will be equalized. At this time, the players will focus more on the game and avoid losing the ball.


    But the two goals are different. You may relax in your heart, because there is a retreat: even if you lose a ball, we still lead, what are you afraid of?


    Therefore, the mental state of two-ball lead and one-ball lead is different. The former is better in the situation, but psychologically, the former is more dangerous.


    Therefore, Aldridge did not celebrate with overjoy. On the contrary, he reminded each player to continue to keep them fighting, and there should be no slack.


    Scoring goals on the football field is just a blink of an eye. Once Barcelona is going crazy, is the probability of scoring two goals in a short period of time very slim?


    After being stimulated by Aldridge''s spirit, the players'' focus on the game did not decline, and the Barcelona players faced this mass of aspiring opponents from beginning to end, and they all had desperate thoughts in their hearts.


    It seems that they are not facing normal players.


    The 11 people on the opposite side are grouped together. Invisible, there seems to be a roaring lion king totem lingering on their heads.


    Barcelona''s aggressive attack of stacking offensive numbers continues, but the offensive means has become very simple, directing the ball directly into the most dangerous area.


    I can''t see what kind of formation they are, no matter what position the players have rushed into the penalty area to find a scoring opportunity.


    Giovanni headed the goalkeeper in the penalty area with a high top and a long distance.


    The game time enters injury stoppage time, 4 minutes!


    Barcelona has not yet given up. Southgate stretched his foot and rushed into the penalty area. The ball was under the foot of Drapena. The opponent complained of a penalty after the fall, but the referee ignored it.


    Southgate drove the ball forward with a big foot.


    The empty Barcelona at the back surprised to find that Shevchenko got another chance!


    Because Cotto moved forward, he judged the ball to make a mistake and directly sent Shevchenko to sprint for the meeting.


    The Ukrainian rushed into the ball, Baia is definitely the most unlucky person today, Barcelona''s back line makes him look like a foreigner.


    Shevchenko chose to shoot in the penalty area, because Baia has already attacked, and he chose a safe push.


    Watching the ball roll towards the bottom left corner of the goal, Shevchenko was ready to celebrate, but with a bang.


    The ball actually hit the goal post and bounced out!


    Shevchenko was stunned, Baia turned to throw the ball, but someone rushed in front of him and led the ball away.


    Larson!


    The Swedish striker easily kicked the ball into the empty goal and then turned to Shevchenko who missed the goal. Shevchenko was originally stunned and lost a bit, but fortunately Larsen hit the ball and didn''t let One''s own one-shot waste.


    The two walked slowly back to the backcourt, and the whole stadium was already shrouded in Millwall''s voice.


    The king of the European Cup is about to be crowned!

 Chapter 219： Seems to sing the Triple Crown

    Rotterdam Stadium.


    Barcelona 1:4 Millwall.


    Game time: 93:48.


    The Barcelona fans in the stands were all indifferent, and sadness was hidden in the eyes and remained silent.


    No one pays attention to them except for the occasional live television scans.


    Fans of the crazy lion are already carnival, in the countdown.


    Neutral fans were also completely conquered by Millwall, and stood ready to greet the moment the champion was born.


    The players on the Barcelona bench were expressionless. On the Millwall side, all the coaches and players came to the sidelines.


    Finally, when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the match, a tsunami-like cry broke out in the stadium.


    "Milwall! Millwall! Millwall!"


    The players on the sidelines rushed into the court, and some coaches also began to forget to celebrate.


    Benitez took two steps towards the court, and suddenly turned back to see Aldridge, whose eyes closed and his head seemed to be performing a religious ceremony, and asked curiously, "Aren¡¯t you celebrating together?"


    Aldridge took a deep breath, with a smile on his face, and at the moment when the nervous nerve finally relaxed, it seemed that even the air had a smell, which was refreshing.


    He opened his eyes and said to Benitez: "You go first, I will be a little late."


    After all, he turned to the Barcelona coach seat.


    After the end of the game, the players in Barcelona were blessedly standing on the field, some players put their heads on their heads, and their coaches and some bench players came to comfort the players.


    Aldridge walked in front of Robson. Although the coach lost the finals, he passed the storm and he could laugh at the situation.


    The two talked about their arms, and Aldridge put his smile away and solemnly said: "It is a pity that I have not met the best Barcelona in today."


    Robson smiled faintly and said, "Why are you so honest? You should say that today Barcelona is the strongest! In this way, Millwall''s championship is greater."


    Aldrich shook his head and said: "Confidence and arrogance are only on the front line. Today we won, but it is not the end of the story. If these players think they are invincible, then today¡¯s victory may be the seed of disaster. .. I will let them celebrate and wait for them to calm down and tell them: You haven¡¯t met the strongest Barcelona, ??even Ronaldo is not in shape today."


    Aldridge is not insincere, at this time he poses as a winner to compliment his opponent, he said everything in his heart.


    Barcelona''s mental pressure to catch up with Real Madrid in La Liga. A few days ago, they went all out to play a Spanish national derby. Coupled with the instability of the players in the team and other factors, today''s Barcelona are not in the best state.


    Especially the European-focused genius Ronaldo, who only looks at his transcripts this season, is indeed impeccable, but if he analyzes the performance of the entire season in depth, his state is actually up and down, especially in Last month, after Barcelona President Nunez denied Ronaldo¡¯s future in the club, Ronaldo was distracted by the transfer. He wanted to double his salary, but Nunez refused. Perhaps it was a preconceived idea. Introducing Ronaldo In terms of things, Nunes has been opposed from the beginning. Now, all Europe knows that as long as Ronaldo¡¯s contract damages are paid, the aliens can be taken away from Camp Nou.


    Robson patted Aldridge''s arm and said, "Don''t be pretentious. Your team is better today. You deserve the championship. Go and celebrate with your players. They are definitely waiting for you."


    Aldridge and Robson formally shook hands, then turned and walked towards the court.


    The players who embraced and celebrated each other on the court saw him coming and surrounded him, Aldridge hugged each player and praised their performance today.


    When he walked to the other end of the field and hugged Zambrotta, a roar came from the stands.


    "Aldridge, Aldridge, Aldridge, damn, look over!"


    Aldrich looked around and saw the stand where the Lions roared. Brady and Fred stood at the front. Brady yelled at him fiercely: "Give us some souvenirs! Your suit is so beautiful , Give it to me!"


    "I want a tie!" Fred also roared bouncing.


    "Give me your underwear!"


    I don¡¯t know which female fan shouted in the back, making the nearby people laugh.


    Aldridge was also not stingy, took off his suit, untied his tie, and threw it to Brady and Fred.


    "I am grass! Don''t **** it! If it''s broken, there''s fart, eh? The quality is really good!"


    Brady put his suit in his arms, and after a while he found that no one was snatching around, he wore the suit on his body, which was a little funny, because he was wider than Aldridge, and the slim suit obviously supported him. very.


    Fred was wearing a jersey and tied his tie directly around his neck. The two were like a comedian.


    From the second of the end of the game, the live broadcast agency had a camera that had been aimed at Aldridge, and the action of throwing his suit and tie on the stand was captured throughout.


    After that, Aldridge stood alone on the sidelines, behind which were the passionate scenes of the roaring fans. Aldridge looked around the stadium and printed every picture in his mind.


    The celebratory players, the smirking coaches, the crowd saluting the fans in front of the stands...


    There are also sad Barcelona coaches and players.


    This is an incredible time.


    Because at this moment, Audric looked more than thirty meters away, Mourinho hugged Guardiola''s shoulder to comfort each other, maybe, comfort each other.


    The king was defeated, and Lv Yin was the most simple on the field.


    Aldridge closed his eyes again, feeling the crazy atmosphere on the court, and a deafening voice came from behind.


    "Milwall, the king of Europe!"


    "Milwall, the king of Europe!"


    Today, there is no miracle, more like a myth.


    Millwall, who was still in the Premier League two years ago, became the Premier League champion this year and became the king of the European Cup!


    Apart from the excitement of enjoying the moment of success, Aldridge is more of a relief.


    He fulfilled his promise once again.


    Millwall guys, give me some more time, give me some support, let us continue to interpret the myth!


    "Boss?"


    Hearing someone calling himself, Aldridge opened his eyes and found himself surrounded by players.


    Shirtless Nedved, Larson, Schneider, Trezeguet smiled in front of him, and the other players were beside and behind him.


    Aldridge''s expression was slightly surprised, and suddenly his body was out of balance, and his legs were lifted from behind.


    Southgate shouted: "Boss! Thank you!"


    The players happily threw him into the sky.


    Aldridge looked at the clear sky in the Netherlands and smiled so drunk...


    After the award ceremony was over, Aldridge led the team to fly back to London on the night.


    It took less than two hours to fly back from Rotterdam to London.


    The team got on the plane at nearly ten o''clock, and the players took photos with each other holding the championship trophy on the plane, continuing the crazy atmosphere of celebration after the game.


    Aldridge was also drawn into the group photo taken by the players. They opened champagne toast to celebrate and sang and danced in the small cabin.


    When the plane landed in London, no one was clean, most of them were soaked in wine, and looked embarrassed.


    Before getting off the plane, Aldridge stood in front of the aisle and smiled and asked, "After you get off the plane, what are your plans?"


    "Go home and sleep!"


    The players replied in unison, Schneider saw Aldridge some unexpected expression, ha ha laughed: "Boss, we certainly know that there will be a finals waiting for us the day after tomorrow!"


    The expressions of the other players seemed to be smiling, which made Aldridge smile and angry, saying: "Okay, I hope you can rest assured that I will take a rest tomorrow and return to the team the morning after tomorrow afternoon, we will get another championship trophy, That''s our last game of the season. You should be like me. You don''t want to end this season with a defeat, right?"


    "Of course, we have to be the Triple Crown!"


    Southgate roared loudly, and the other players shouted at the captain''s cry.


    The players were still in a state of excitement, especially when Aldridge walked out of the airport exit, the outside scene surprised them.


    Millwall returned with a good reputation. In addition to the swarm of journalists, Millwall fans in London also came outside the airport to welcome their heroes.


    It was already close to midnight, but the fans were enthusiastic. They held up the club''s scarf and shouted Millwall''s name outside.


    The camera light flashes and the camera lens is aimed at the crowd.


    Aldrich and the staff of the coaching staff walked out first. He walked at the forefront. Compared with the normal and tidy image, he looked a little wild at the moment. His hair in a shirt and trousers was slightly messy. He smiled and waved his hand. To pay tribute to the fans, the other hand pulled his suitcase forward.


    Benitez and Jenson followed the Aldridge with the European Winners'' Cup trophy, and the two raised the trophy to show it to the crowd, causing high-decibel cheers and applause.


    When the players behind came out, the atmosphere on the scene rose to another height.


    The first to come out was Nedved, who, like other teammates, was carrying a travel bag behind his back, Larson pressed his hands on his shoulders behind him, followed closely behind Larson, and Southgate also had his hands Pressed on Larson''s shoulder.


    Millwall players walked out like an orderly dragon, and they shook their heads and repeated a sentence rhythmically.


    "Three crowns! Three crowns!"


    The fans were still chanting their names at first, but soon, the sound on the scene became the same rhythm.


    "Three crowns! Three crowns!"


    The members of Millwall returned from the expedition, and the team was filled with a cheerful atmosphere. With the sight of the fans and reporters, they boarded the bus and left.


    Everyone knows that Millwall¡¯s season is not over yet, and as they say, they will have the third championship trophy this season: the English FA Cup!


    Now, they are not only the focus of London, but also the focus of England.


    Just the picture of their victory, let the major TV stations as news reports, and repeatedly broadcast the scene of the players cheerfully talking and singing like "Three Crowns".


    This allows Millwall to quickly pass the neutral fan market, let more fans like them, and more new generation fans will regard their players as idols and become their first love in the football world!

 Chapter 220： Now die, so sorry

    It was already early in the morning when he returned home. Aldridge entered the house and put his suitcase aside, and then walked upstairs step by step while taking off his clothes.


    With a contented smile in his mouth, he fell on the big bed, replaying the championship scene over and over again, and Southgate couldn''t restrain his emotions when he picked up the trophy.


    The past season has been too difficult for him. The pressure of being accused of being a sinner by English fans has overwhelmed him and the exposure rate has also plummeted. This is his sense of self-protection and does not want to have any intersection with the public media. Was asked about the penalty penalty in the European Cup 96.


    This season, the stable performance of Southgate has become the Dinghaishen needle on the Millwall defense line. He is different from Stam¡¯s fierce and fierce, but has a general style, not just a dirty and hard-working center defender. When dealing with the ball is more calm, and consciously cultivated the overall view, which is more in line with Millwall''s overall tactics.


    The young players, each holding a trophy, did not want to let go, and were as happy as a child who didn''t grow up...


    Just as Aldridge¡¯s consciousness was gradually fainting to fall asleep, the landline phone on the bedside table suddenly rang.


    Aldridge reached out reluctantly to pick up the phone and put it in his ear.


    He heard a word that made him cry and laugh.


    "Boss, I can''t sleep..."


    Aldridge almost shouted at the phone: but I was bothered by you just before falling asleep!


    "Andre, let''s talk. Do you have no girlfriend?"


    "No."


    ...


    At noon the next day, Aldridge was still lying on the bed, the phone was beside his head. If his ears were close, he could hear a beeping disconnection.


    The door downstairs was opened from the outside, and Melanie, dressed in a cool dress, rushed in like a wind. On the first floor, there was no figure of Aldridge, and immediately ran upstairs. The gym and the study did not see him. The figure finally pushed her bedroom door open to make her look ridiculous.


    Climbing slowly into the bed, Melanie straddled him, and while leaning down, Aldridge woke up with a confused expression. Melanie kissed him on the mouth and smiled: "Congratulations ! Champion coach!"


    Yesterday, she had a performance and couldn¡¯t break up. She didn¡¯t go to the Netherlands to cheer for Aldridge. Aldrich didn¡¯t care. After all, Millwall was already pressed for time.


    Aldridge rubbed his eyes. At this time, Melanie smelled the alcohol on his body and covered her nose. "You slept without a bath yesterday? It''s so bad, go to take a bath!"


    Aldridge was still in a listless state. When she sat up, Melanie was packing up the clothes on the floor. She turned around and asked, "I called you last night. No one answered your mobile phone. My home phone was always busy. I called at three. Once, I was busy, I called once at 4 o''clock, or I was busy, I was busy this morning, did you intentionally leave the phone aside?"


    "Oh, no, there was a player who couldn''t sleep last night. He won the championship. He was extremely energetic and called me to chat. I didn''t know when it was time to fall asleep."


    "Who?"


    "Shevchenko."


    "Oh, your relationship is so good, what are you talking about?"


    "Uh, forget..."


    Aldrich walked into the bathroom. He really forgot what he had talked with Shevchenko. Most of them were daily chores. In fact, it was something like "one sheep, two sheep, three sheep." Let Shevchenko calm down.


    After bathing, Aldridge walked downstairs in shorts, Melanie made some simple food for him in the kitchen, and Aldridge turned on the TV to watch the news.


    "I¡¯m not emphasizing that Millwall has become the strongest team in Europe. I value the team spirit more, such as Liverpool at Shankly and Paisley. Now Millwall shows a united side, passion but not lost Happy, the scene when they returned to London last night, the players shouted the Triple Crown as if they were playing games, do you think they are arrogant and arrogant? I don¡¯t think so anyway, they are enjoying football and enjoying the sport Happiness! What do we see from Aldrich Hall? Is he calm when he was on the spot? Not only in this respect, we should also see that when his team miraculously played in the first The moment Europe won the championship, what was his reaction? Turning to Sir Robson''s handshake, Hall was wild but elegant, he redefines Millwall''s spirit, which makes him not only in the head coach''s circle Outstanding, and will let his colleagues respect him."


    The most talked-about person on the TV show is Liverpool''s famous Alan Hansen. Last season, he also claimed that Manchester United could not win any championship with a group of children, saying that he hoped Millwall would not be scared by the sports of adults.


    But for this person, Aldridge doesn¡¯t hate him because he has his own opinion and will not become inflamed. Predicting failure is a normal thing. Compared with too many famous people who express their opinions, most of them follow the trend. He can always send something different from the mainstream the sound of.


    Aldridge watched TV for a while, and most of the football shows praised Millwall for his news.


    Melanie came out carrying the plate, handed the dinner plate to Aldridge, and then she took her handbag and took out several newspapers from it and placed it on the coffee table.


    Aldridge looked down at the newspapers while eating. Fleet Street sang hymns unanimously. Most of the covers were pictures of Millwall holding the cup. There were also photographs of Aldridge thrown by the players.


    Melanie sat opposite Aldridge and stared at him with a smile on her face, which made Aldridge feel weird and hairy in her heart.


    "Enough to see?"


    "No!"


    "Don''t see you in a few days, have I changed a lot?"


    "No! So not enough."


    "Don''t you need to work today?"


    "Three days off."


    "Wait with me to exercise?"


    Melanie nodded like a smile.


    After eating, Aldridge took a break. Melanie also took a shower in the bathroom. She had a short haircut and she looked more refreshed. She wore a black three-point style and pushed open the door of the bedroom, but did not see Aldridge. I felt strange in my heart.


    When she saw Aldridge jogging in the gym, she couldn''t help crying: "Work out?"


    Aldrich looked around and saw her dress, and immediately smiled: "Yeah, exercise!"


    "Why don''t you make it clear? I even took a bath."


    "Which word is unclear? Haven''t you rested for three days? The good show stays at night."


    "Can I beat you up?"


    "Then try it."


    The gym space is not small, Aldridge and Melanie put on gloves to practice what they usually do in fitness: boxing.


    ...


    In the evening, Aldridge drove Melanie back to his parents'' villa in the eastern suburbs for dinner.


    He still drove the BMW that Arthur gave him, and Melanie was a little unhappy.


    "Do you hate the car I gave you?"


    "No, I like it very much, but it''s too blatant. I can relax and go for a ride occasionally, but there is no need to drive that car for work or short trips, and parking is not convenient."


    Aldrich told the truth, Melanie was relieved.


    But Aldridge thought more about it. Perhaps his relationship with Melanie, like that Lamborghini, was a life reconciliation agent during occasional relaxation, and the days of being together so that the two seemed like simple couples, eternal Stay in a "love" stage.


    When she came to her parents'' villa, her mother Amelia and her sister-in-law were busy at dinner, and there was already a rich dinner on the long table.


    Andrew came alone, holding a three-year-old nephew, Bowen, watching cartoons.


    As soon as Aldridge came in, Andrew raised Bowen and smiled, "Uncle Aldridge, congratulations."


    Aldridge walked over and pressed on Andrew''s head with a smile, "Thank you."


    He bent down and kissed Bowen on the forehead. His nephew grabbed his sleeve and said, "Give me a Larson signature."


    Aldridge nodded and agreed to come down.


    "What about Arthur?"


    "Still sleeping in the bedroom, I''ll call him!"


    Mother Amelia took the steak from the oven and put it on the table, then went upstairs.


    "What''s going on? Arthur is playing again?"


    Aldrich asked Andrew.


    Andrew shrugged. "Yeah, he got on the plane this morning. When he was sent back by the old rogues, he thought he was in Rotterdam and gave me a tip of twenty pounds."


    "Hahaha, by the way, I didn''t meet him in Holland yesterday."


    Millwall arrived in Rotterdam early. As the club president, Arthur and CEO Adam and other executives arrived in the Netherlands on the day of the game. They were more like spectators and sat directly in the stadium box. Millwall hurriedly left after the game. , Aldridge did not say hello to his father.


    "Oh, yesterday he was sitting in a box with Barcelona¡¯s President Nunez. According to the reports of the old gangsters, they were crazy in Rotterdam at night. Arthur has been insulting Nunez as an annoying idiot. Barcelona did not figure out the situation. Nunez thought that Arthur as the chairman could control the power of the player transfer, so he has been testing Arthur, wanting to introduce Larson, Arthur does not want to talk to the other party, but has been harassed..."


    Aldridge smiled: "So he doesn''t like to sit in the box and watch the ball."


    At the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium, Arthur no longer watched the ball in the box, but sat in the stands with Puskas Ewen and played in the European War. It was the final. As the chairman, he could only sit in the box again. Here, and it''s about a club image.


    Changed to the other Premier League club owner or chairman, Arthur was able to smile and scold the other party in the box for two hours. Anyway, even if it was taken outside, he did not know what they said.


    After all, the boss or chairman of the Premier League will meet every three months. Most of the time they will attack each other at the Premier League round table due to disputes of interest and keep smiling in front of the public, but privately, everyone is not a good bird.


    On the stage of the European War, when facing the chairman or boss of a club from outside of England, Arthur did not want to conflict with each other. In England, everyone has established rules of the game and will not tear their faces in the public, but other countries¡¯ Club chairman or boss, God knows if the other party is a dynamite bucket.


    Yesterday''s final was wonderful, but Arthur was in a pin-for-two hours, enough of Nunes''s harassment.


    After Aldridge laughed, he suddenly felt like he had forgotten something yesterday.


    "What are you doing frowning?"


    Andrew looked at Aldridge puzzled.


    "I think I missed something yesterday."


    "Oh, is it a post-match press conference? UEFA has issued a warning, but considering that Millwall has another final tomorrow, UEFA said it can accept your absence this time, but the next time you have to inform them in advance , Cool the reporters there, but you ran away by plane. What''s the matter?"


    Aldridge sighed in his head: "It''s really like that, there is no way, I was too happy at the time."


    "Oh, Aldridge, come here and let me kiss!"


    Arthur in pajamas came down from the upstairs, and just halfway through to see Aldridge, Arthur''s belly with her messy hair speeded up and rushed towards Aldridge.


    But without two steps, he thumped and fell into the living room.


    "grandfather!"


    "Oh my god!"


    Bowen and Amelia exclaimed in unison.


    Aldridge and Andrew hurried over to help him up.


    I don¡¯t know if the fleshy belly has a cushioning effect, or it may be a soft carpet. Arthur immediately climbed up after falling down, holding Aldridge like a kiss, and he kissed him in the face, haha ??big Laughed: "Long live Millwall! We are European champions! There is no regrets!"


    "I think it''s the biggest regret if you die now!"


    Aldridge said with a smile.


    Arthur''s expression was stunned, and he asked, "Why?"


    "Because you will miss Millwall''s more championship moments."


    "Ah, ha, hahaha, yes! Son, my mother is not dead, I will live to be two hundred years old and see Millwall take twenty, thirty, one hundred championship trophies!"

 Chapter 221： Blue civil war

    The next day after winning the championship, Aldridge enjoyed a warm dinner at his parents¡¯ house in the evening, but it was a pity that the eldest brother did not return in the United States.


    After dinner, Aldridge and Melanie went to the cinema to watch a movie, and then returned home to Wushan.


    On the 17th, the morning of the FA Cup final.


    Aldridge drove to the team¡¯s training ground early in the morning outside the training ground. Because of the weekend, many fans came here early to shout the flag for the team. Before the training began, the players would also go outside to give Fans sign.


    The fans were enthusiastic and looked at the players on the training ground with happiness.


    Aldrich came to the training ground in sportswear, and the coaches were all there. Before the training began, other members who were a little slower also came out of the locker room.


    From their relaxed expressions, their mentality can be seen, and their mental state is also good. Obviously yesterday¡¯s holiday, the main players did not indulge.


    "Hi, boss."


    The players greeted Aldridge one by one, and they were still smiling at first, but when they saw the expressionless Bettnis and the opponent with a thick stack of documents in their hands, most of the players looked away and eccentrically. Far away.


    Most of them were afraid of Benitez.


    Especially Pirlo and Schneider.


    Aldridge is the head coach, but in the club''s first team work, he does not have the energy to do everything on his own.


    For example, he focuses on tactical layout and locker room management and on-site command.


    The team''s specific technical training is Mullenstein, physical training is Babu, and tactical training is Benitez. Jenson coordinates all aspects while maintaining communication with players in training.


    The other first team coaches are distributed in different groups.


    Benitez is a perfectionist, which makes many players can''t stand him.


    Even if Nedved won the best in a game, even if he passed 70 times and succeeded 60 times, the success rate exceeded 80%, and there are other excellent transcripts, but a new day after the game In training, Benitez will praise Nedved: Pavel, did a good job yesterday, let''s talk about your ten pass errors yesterday.


    Benitez''s demand for player excellence makes some players really unbearable. At this time, either Jenson or Aldridge will become the listener of the players'' private complaints.


    It sounds like this is the first team coach singing a white face and a black face, in fact it is exactly the same.


    In the past, the role of Benitez was that of Aldridge, but he would not be as "perverted" as Benitez. However, it is reasonable to have higher requirements for players, otherwise, the players will meet 80% Passing success rate, I think this is the best self, maybe in the short term, but in the long run, this may not be a good thing.


    After warm-up training, Benitez took his notebook and prepared to go to the players for a single conversation, which made the players just after jogging look like enemies and their faces changed.


    Aldrich grabbed Benitez''s arm and shook his head slightly, laughing: "It''s okay today. After the afternoon game, they will take a vacation. What you say to them now will have no effect."


    Benitez hesitated for ten seconds, and finally showed a helpless expression: "Well, I hope they can let us have a happy holiday."


    "I have confidence in them."


    Seeing Benitez did not come over, the players looked at each other and finally relieved with relief.


    To be honest, after finishing the last game of the season this afternoon, they will leave. At this time, they don¡¯t want to discuss with the coach any of their content in the game the day before yesterday. Even if they have time to discuss it, what about? Do you still come back for training tomorrow?


    There is no intensity in the morning training, the players just came to relax.


    The coaches didn''t supervise them either, Aldridge chatted with Mullenstein.


    "Really? What''s the use of that stuff?"


    Mullenstin asked curiously.


    Aldrich said: "There are tennis ball players used in tennis training. I asked the manufacturer to order a batch of soccer ball players. It is the same principle as tennis balls, but the mechanical structure has been enlarged. I think, you can train players to handle the ball. , Don¡¯t you think that some aspects of player technical training are too static now?"


    Mullenstin fantasized in his mind.


    Tennis serve machines are nothing new, or more intuitive in baseball training, where the serve machine shoots the ball and the baseball player swings to practice batting.


    Football serve machine?


    "Is it for the goalkeeper?"


    Mullenstin thought of this first.


    Aldridge smiled and said: "You can train the goalkeeper to save, but if you adjust the angle of the machine, the shots will also have different trajectories, so that you can train the players to stop the ball at medium and long distances, especially the players are difficult to predict. The ball shot from the machine needs a short time to react and run and then stop the ball, which is more test of the player''s ability, isn''t it? I mean, the machine does not act like a person, ready to catch the ball The moment players see their teammates swing their legs, they have a sense of catching the ball and determine the path and trajectory of the ball, but the machine will not swing their legs, leaving the player with less reaction time."


    Mullenstin''s eyes lit up, and he said: "You can also train players to shoot with high difficulty! The offensive and defensive players compete for unpredictable ball drops..."


    Aldridge''s expression was stunned, and he said casually: "Eh? Why didn''t I think of it? You really will make a difference."


    Mullenstin laughed and asked, "How do you think of using such a thing?"


    Aldridge shrugged: "I was thinking that more difficult conditions should be added to allow players to train their skills. In the Premier League, Bogkamp''s goal is to stop the ball. This is art. When the high ball and low ball touch his Feet, it seems that there is a magic power to make the power very powerful, but when we train, if we let the coach constantly kick the ball to train the players alone, this will exhaust us, let the players kick, and will delay the kicker¡¯s training. Therefore, I considered adding training equipment to replace the training method of manpower. I saw a piece of tennis news a few months ago, so I thought of this method. In the summer, the factory will send me the machine. Let''s see the effect."


    Mullenstin is obviously very happy that Aldridge can do this. He pursues the player''s skills to the extreme, and strives for excellence in technical training. Aldridge can not only attach importance to this aspect, but also have a large investment, which makes him feel relieved. And pleasant.


    After eating lunch in advance, the players rested in the training hotel for a while, and then embarked on a journey to London Wembley in the afternoon.


    In the afternoon, when Millwall''s bus drove into Wembley, there were countless fans around England''s greatest stadium.


    Today''s England is rendered in blue. Millwall is nicknamed the mad lion and the main color is blue. Chelsea is nicknamed the blue lion and the main color is naturally blue.


    This makes it easy for the fans of the two teams to be confused outside the stadium. If you don¡¯t look at the chest advertisement and the team logo, it may be difficult to distinguish between the enemy and the friend.


    For this reason, today Chelsea were lucky to draw the home jersey, and Millwall could only wear a white away uniform.


    Unfortunately, most of the fans in the stands are blue. Although there are also Millwall fans wearing an away jersey to help, they still have many fans wearing home dark blue jerseys.


    Originally, the fans on both sides accounted for half of the court''s court resistance. Chelsea is full of blue ocean. Millwall is not so extreme in color. The blue and white mixed stands cannot see any shock.


    Only three thousand people gathered in the grandstand is white.


    That was the roar led by Brady and Fred.


    This is the role of the fan organization, unified dress, so that their cheering can show the power of the twelfth person.


    The fans of the crazy lion are really depressed.


    Invisible, they were beaten by Chelsea fans.


    But who can say that they are wrong to wear the home jersey?


    Blame the FA for giving Chelsea the "home advantage".


    For this, Aldridge is not particularly concerned.


    In terms of venue advantage, Millwall has played more games in Wembley than Chelsea in the past two years. In addition to the two finals last year, the home of the European War this year has also been played at Wembley. Millwall is clearly superior.


    It¡¯s just that I¡¯m used to cheering on the fans of the home team. At first glance, Chelsea¡¯s blue ocean cheers on my opponents. It is estimated that Millwall¡¯s players will also have an illusion: Fans are back!


    Before the game press conference, Audridge did not attend. Before participating in the European Cup of Winners, Millwall took note of the FA.


    No time to.


    In this regard, the Football Association does not mind, after all, Millwall to play in the European Cup Winners Cup final is for England to face, and also won the championship.


    This London blue civil war seems to be announcing the rise of London on the English football map. In the past, only the Arsenal team carried the flag. The remaining focus was on Manchester and Liverpool, although Tottenham once also It is considered to be a force to be reckoned with among the Premier League powerhouses, but in recent years, no one has taken Tottenham as one thing anymore.


    The strong rise of Millwall broke the old pattern, and Chelsea also showed its ambitions under Bates'' costless loan investment. The focus of England began to turn to London as a matter of course.


    This is not only a civil war in London, but also a derby between rivals!


    Before the game began, Millwall Chairman Arthur walked into the box with a big smile. Today he doesn''t mind coming to the box to watch the ball, because there is his favorite enemy: Bates.


    Bates appeared a little nervous in the box, his face solemnly solemn, and he looked very important to this champion.


    When Arthur walked in, he didn''t notice it, and seemed to be thinking about something.


    Arthur turned two circles behind him and looked at Bates with a smile. When Bates found him, he became surprised. Arthur raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Old friend, I can sit here and watch the ball with you. ?"


    "Can you get away?"


    Arthur grabbed the other person''s hand and shook it, laughing: "Laugh, one. Now the live broadcast shot must have taken this scene. If you drove me away, wouldn''t it be too graceful? I''ll go out and say: Bay I dare not watch the ball with me, he is afraid that Chelsea will lose the championship. How?


    Bates gritted his teeth and said: "Old bastard, do you have to be so shameless?"


    Arthur sat down with a knife, poured himself a glass of wine, and smiled casually: "Oh, who made you embarrass me at first? Our two are dead enemies, the seeds of hatred have been planted long ago This is the law of the jungle. Chelsea is now a soft sheep. Millwall is a lion. Of course, I also want to open my blood basin to blur your blood and flesh. If you are me, will you do the same?"


    Bates sat down indignantly and said in a deep voice: "Arthur, you **** has humiliated me countless times in the past two years. Will this make you happy?"


    Arthur poured himself another glass of wine, exhaled happily after drinking, turned his head and grinned: "Yeah, I''m very happy! Shaming you is making me happy! Maybe you don''t understand our Hall family Philosophy of survival, if someone punches us, we will not only meet the counterattack but also punch the opponent, we will beat the opponent fiercely. The league is over, er, Chelsea''s relegation will not happen temporarily, but, like today, we will let you not win the championship. When we hold the trophy and sing and dance, I will send you a photo of the championship. Remember, who made your efforts go to waste, who made your dreams shattered, who made you feel bad like constipation for many days, and who made you look down in London!"

 Chapter 222： True strong

    The grudges between Arthur and Bates are well known among the Premier League club presidents. Arthur and Arsenal vice chairman Dane are not dealing with it. On the list of Arthur¡¯s hatred, the third place is Edwards, but he Some look down on Manchester United''s old pervert, because as soon as he rolls up his sleeves, the other party immediately turns into an egg.


    Manchester United and Arsenal have found various reasons to exclude Millwall since they were promoted to the Premier League last year. In addition to the small stadium and poor reputation, the most important reason is that Millwall has obtained Millwall through family power. With more broadcast sharing, Millwall not only challenges the traditional forces of the old English Premier League in competition, but also infringes on the big head share that belongs to them in terms of economic interests.


    But Millwall spent two seasons closing Manchester United and Arsenal''s mouth, which in turn was replaced by Arthur''s cynicism about Dane: When will Highbury expand? Oh, it seems that there are residential houses around, there is no room for expansion?


    To Edwards is just a lazy gesture, as long as the other party does not provoke, Arthur does not want to have any intersection with the old pervert, as if the other party is covered with **** from head to toe to make him feel sick.


    As for Bates, apart from the fact that everyone is a dead enemy, the most important thing is that Arthur can''t stand Bates''s arrogant attitude. He knows that Chelsea has nothing. Instead, he thinks he is doing great things.


    Bates was a speculative businessman, and he was notorious before becoming the club¡¯s chairman. In the European financial circle, he has made several investment investments, ranging from millions to tens of millions of pounds. In short, the **** is not clean. .


    Football is a very closed circle. The independence of the FA makes it no matter how fierce the internal battles are. If there are external forces to intervene in football, they will be strongly rejected by them, regardless of whether they are black or white.


    Bates has the status of the Premier League club and was able to leave the past clean. His debt to invest in Chelsea is also controversial, but it is difficult for the outside to investigate his club¡¯s operation. Not only the Football Association Rejection, the Premier League will also oppose the investigation, because every club has behind the scenes a basket of dirty and shady transactions.


    Bates, a smart and cunning businessman, not only built his ideal and magnificent Chelsea village, but also provoked war to increase his popularity. Before confronting Arthur, his opponent was Dane, but Arsenal has been in these years. The recent situation is not good, so he turned his gun and aimed at Millwall, anyway, the original hatred of the two clubs is enough to cause a topic.


    Arthur was sitting next to Bates, enjoying the wine and waiting for the game to start, while Bates was sullen and said nothing.


    "Old bastard, I heard that you recently publicly questioned the source of the Hall''s assets? Ha ha ha, I heard a joke of a thief crying to catch a thief."


    Arthur held the glass of wine with a tepid tone and a slightly feminine expression that seemed strange and unpredictable.


    Bates jumped in his heart. He was unscrupulous. When attacking Dane, he hired a private detective to investigate the other party. It was his turn to open fire with Arthur, and he reapplied.


    He made remarks to the media, questioning whether the Hall¡¯s financial resources could cover the financial expenditures of the magnificent new stadium. At the same time, he also hinted that the Hall¡¯s family had changed from selling glass to being a billionaire in ten years. What''s so greasy?


    Arthur did not squint and continued to say lightly: "Business matters, Bates, I''m not as good as you, and I don''t care about these, my three sons are in control, but, if you want to play this method, we It¡¯s fun, I¡¯m also curious about Chelsea¡¯s financial situation, where did you get so much money to buy players and pay high wages, your Chelsea village, all day monk, are you really making money? Ha ha ha, I asked my eldest son, he Tell me, in the European business circle, there are still quite a few of our Hall friends. I think, you can get a lot of inside information. Do you really want to play? Do you dare to play? Can you afford it?"


    Bett oozed cold sweat from his forehead and gritted his teeth: "Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings!"


    He probably remembered it at this time. He used to play around and it was only a million-million pound capital game, and the Hall family had more than 200 million pounds in assets three years ago, and in these three years , Wealth growth is still a jaw-dropping rate.


    Due to the connections within the circle, the Hall''s reputation is well-known, and he is not much different from the mouse crossing the street.


    Arthur sipped and smiled: "Misunderstanding? Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, alas, if you are gone, I might feel lonely."


    What he said was like a joke, but there was another idea in his mind: According to Bates, Chelsea''s debt is getting higher and higher, no record, wait for bankruptcy...


    In the guest locker room at Wembley Stadium, Aldridge stood with his arms around his chest.


    "Everyone knows that today is our last game of the season. I believe you will take this game seriously with 300%. However, I want to talk about two points. The first point is the mentality. Double-playing Chelsea in the league, this may make you underestimate the enemy. Now I will give you a minute to ask yourself if you have thought in your mind: Chelsea? Your defeat, the victory will be captured!"


    The players looked at each other, looking at Aldridge''s cold face, and some players suddenly lowered their heads in shame.


    Many people do think so.


    The traditional three giants of England were double-killed by them. They just defeated the La Liga giants Barcelona in the European Winners'' Cup. They asked the same question from 10,000 neutral fans: who is better at Chelsea or Barcelona? More than 9,000 fans will say: Barcelona, ??the remaining fans will ask: Who is Chelsea?


    The answer is obvious. According to this reasoning, Millwall played 4:1 in Barcelona. Isn''t playing Chelsea like cutting vegetables?


    Aldridge didn¡¯t have a light face. He knew that today¡¯s game had a lot of disadvantages for Millwall. The fans in the stands cheered unevenly. On the one hand, competitive factors include players who have just returned from the Netherlands. They Just like Barcelona, ??the body will be tired, and after a battle, especially after winning, the mentality will be a bit floating.


    "Give you two more minutes, you have forgotten the double-game Chelsea game in your mind, recalling the two league games we lost this season, a cup game, and seven unwinnable draws! Recall these games carefully, Think about it, are those opponents stronger than us? Why haven¡¯t we won?"


    The players now understood Aldridge''s intentions, became mentally solemn, and looked serious, and put away all contempt.


    Aldridge continued: "You basically all experienced the two cups we won last season. Do you remember our mentality at that time? We almost let the trophy be taken away by Aston Villa because of our mentality It¡¯s more anxious to play, and the urgent mentality of holding the cup affects our performance. Today, Chelsea is also the same. Their last trophy was the European Cup of Winners 26 years ago, and the FA Cup was 27 years ago. Therefore, they are close to In the blank period of the trophy for thirty years, the heart is extremely hungry and the mentality is very urgent. Not only do they want to prove that they are better than us, they also hope to become the starting point of the club''s glory, but we will not give them a chance! This is what I want to talk about The second point: our gesture!"


    The players stared up at Aldridge and nodded seriously.


    The same is the final, but Aldridge does not always talk about honor and spirit with players.


    Stereotypes are sometimes meaningless and have different effects.


    Millwall is the defending champion of the FA Cup. The players have won this honor. He has already started two trophies this season, plus the advantage of the past record against Chelsea. If Aldridge is only language content, it will palely boost the morale of the players. It is estimated that it does not have much effect.


    Like his tactical layout, he will patiently let the players understand why he wants to play like this and what effect the tactics will have. Only when the players understand themselves can they better implement the tactical philosophy.


    "We are more tired than Chelsea, there is no doubt that we do not need to lie to ourselves. We played a fierce game two days ago. You have an unbeatable performance. If you want to replicate the performance two days ago today, I think at least from the run It''s impossible to move. Don''t think that this is me attacking you, stimulating you, no, I''m just telling the truth. I don''t want you to put pressure on yourself to force yourself, it might hurt you instead. The whole world will attack. There are countless teams. Our tactical system is very mature. You have also played well in offensive routines. However, I hope to see your mature side and the more mature side of the whole team!"


    Everyone was curious to hear Aldridge say this, Nedved asked: "Boss, what should I do?"


    Being more mature means that they become better, and no one wants to make themselves better.


    Aldridge said lightly: "A team that can attack is not terrible. What is terrible is a team that can clearly attack at will but knows how to be tolerant. I mean, we have to control from the overall situation and from the whole game. The game, not the pursuit of periodical bursts, this is the dominance! When we have sufficient physical energy, we can oppress our opponents in the whole game, but when our physical fitness does not have an advantage? We also have to win the ball, and win makes the opponent despair, This morning''s tactical arrangement, many of you may think that I am too cautious. I don¡¯t think so. I think it¡¯s time for you to understand what a real top team is. We can¡¯t rely on one momentum to win. What is the real strong team to win with explosive power? When you are in good shape, you can win beautiful, when you are in bad shape, even if the game is not good-looking, you can win! This is the real strong, let All the opponents who are trembling and desperate, even if we are clearly at a disadvantage, let the opponents have no choice but to watch us take away the victorious strong!"


    In the locker room, all players were shocked.


    Looking at Aldridge with a firm expression, they felt incredible, shocked, and a wonderful feeling rose in their hearts.


    If you are in a good state, you will win beautifully, and if you are in a bad state, you can take away the victory.


    Who is not willing to be such a strong man?


    There is no need for everyone to deceive themselves into thinking that the player will be in the best state every game. The player''s state has ups and downs, either because of his body or his mind, and there are thousands of reasons for his bad state anyway.


    But if they can win even when they are not in their best condition, this will obviously make them more mature and more dominant on the court.


    "Today, you will play such a dominant game, and I firmly believe that you can do it."


    After Aldridge finished speaking, he turned and left the locker room.

 Chapter 223： At your fingertips

    Wembley''s stands are full of enthusiasm, and they are full of flags. The fans are waving the flags printed with the Chelsea and Millwall emblems. Compared with the confident and relaxed attitude of Millwall fans, Chelsea fans They are more tense and full of fighting spirit!


    In the past, they were fans in private confrontation and were weak. The club''s record always crushed Millwall, but no one can think of it. Millwall started from the summer of 1994 and killed the Premier League in one year. Last year, it won two championships and one Asian. This year Even more aggressively locking the league title in advance, and also reaping the honor of the European War, no matter what, Millwall is destined to be brilliant this season, but it is only a matter of height.


    The coaches of both sides came out. The braided handsome Gullit shaved his face, and his face was much cleaner and whiter. He looked like a young handsome guy. Aldrich walked to the Gullit first when he walked to the side of the field. Gullit congratulated him. Millwall won the double crown, Aldridge smiled compliment.


    There were cameras around Aldridge all the time, and the narrator immediately began to speak excitedly.


    "He is out! A new generation of talented coaches in England! There is no dispute that he is a genius! It only took him two years to make Millwall''s honor room from blank to golden, congratulations, European champion coach!"


    When Aldridge appeared, the stands boiled, Chelsea fans were silent, watching with cold eyes, Millwall fans whistled, clapped, fisted, and prepared slogans.


    For clubs like Millwall, who have been anonymous for the past 100 years, have achieved domestic league cup slam honors and European War honors within two years. Fans have regarded Aldridge as a "God".


    Therefore, in the Wembley stands, many fans held up the "Audric: Legend" sign to express their respect for the young coach.


    There is also a beautiful landscape in the stands today. Dozens of girls from the twenties and above gathered together, holding different brands. The words above are all showing love. After the camera is captured, the narrator can not help but endure.


    "Aldrich, socialize with me!


    I am more beautiful than Melanie!


    I am proficient in cooking and I can¡¯t leave you without me!


    I am proficient in design to make you more handsome!


    I am a big sister, and I will make you feel what is true tenderness!


    ...


    Aldrich, I already envy you! "


    This group of charming girls with different charms wears Milwall''s jersey with a unique charm. They swing their bodies happily holding a sign, and don''t mind the surprise of others.


    Aldridge can¡¯t see this. Wembley Stadium is so big. Where can he put everything in his eyes? Moreover, today''s stands are dazzling, he still sat on the coach seat waiting for the start of the game.


    "The players from both sides entered the field. Although Chelsea wore home jerseys, today''s popular team must be the defending champion Millwall. They only played a peak European battle in the Netherlands two days ago. Their physical fitness is a test for them. Hall also made unexpected starter adjustments. Goalkeepers: Butt, defenders: Schneider, Elgra, Southgate, Zambrotta, midfielders: Barak, Makelele, Nedvi Germany, strikers: Glenn Carr, Van Nistelrooy, Larson. Chelsea played a classic game in the promotion process this season, they reversed Liverpool after two goals behind, with the three Italians. Although Chelsea are not optimistic today, they are definitely not an absolute disadvantage. They have the same chance. Starting goalkeepers: Grodas, defenders: Clark, Sinclair, Leberf, Minto. Midfielder: Petrescu, Di Mateo, Burley, Wise. Forward: Zola partner Hughes. Chelsea coach Gullit is rumored to be different from Viali, it seems to be true, Viali is still sitting on the bench today, compared to Zola regained his second spring at Stamford Bridge, and Vialli was obviously not that brilliant."


    Aldridge withdrew the under-21s who played in the European Cup Winners'' Cup final two days ago, including Capdevila, Pirlo, Trezeguet and Shevchenko.


    In addition to protecting the players, it is also to make the lineup more dynamic.


    On the Chelsea side, Zola has proved himself at Stamford Bridge and even conquered English fans. Just three months ago, on the same site, Zola helped Italy kill England, and the entire Wembley Stadium entered Zola. The ball was silent after the ball.


    Di Matteo is the source of midfield creation. Although Wise is a spiritual leader, his ability is not satisfactory.


    Gullit¡¯s tactics today are ¡°dominated by me¡±. Not only was Di Matteo sitting in the middle, but the two wings also impacted a small player like Wise. At the same time, Petres Cuben was a full-back, but his assist ability Extremely strong, so the position premise is to play forward.


    After the pre-match ceremonies of both players were completed, and their formations were set in the half, the three roars of Millwall players also aroused a cheer from the stands.


    Crazy Lion fans are proud.


    Take a look at our players, all the fighting spirits are high!


    After the game started, Gullit has been standing, but Aldridge has been sitting. The two young commanders are no strangers to each other. Audridge will have many defeats. Gullit is one of them, and the record of the battle It''s also ugly, without a win.


    Aldridge has well accepted the tradition of English football: kill the enemy, do not spare!


    West Ham United, Chelsea, these two teams meet at any time, the first thing Aldridge thinks is not to win the game but to win!


    Millwall played the 4231 they are good at today. Makelele and Barak¡¯s double backs are enough to limit Di Matteo¡¯s organization and forward insertion in the middle. Wise and Petrescu are not pure wingers. They still take the ball. To penetrate or rush into the restricted area, Millwall''s rear line consciously contracted, squeezing the opponent''s forward space in the restricted area.


    Chelsea played an offensive after the opening, Wise passed the bottom line directly, Millwall turned from the defense, Chelsea did not dare to neglect, the team immediately returned to defense.


    But when they ran back to halftime and looked at it again, they suddenly became suspicious: Millwall is doing things? Can''t you run?


    Boot kicked the ball slowly, almost waiting for Chelsea players to run back before he kicked the ball to Southgate.


    Millwall''s overall formation has no forward pressure. Nedved''s frontcourt attack three-man vertical line stayed just after halftime, directly against Chelsea''s offensive line players to defend.


    Millwall still hits the ball on one foot, and the speed of the ball is also very fast, but there are not many forwards. Or, when the ball has just reached the front, they take the initiative to pass back.


    Gullit shook his arms with doubt.


    Did they really play after winning the championship, did they run away today?


    In the past, Millwall''s depth of attack was very determined, but today, they consciously use the quick ball to use the width of the field to tear the Chelsea defense line.


    After two consecutive back-and-forth passes, Chelsea''s defensive line in the backcourt finally had a free time on the right because of a slow rhythm. At this time, Nedvide passed the ball back to Barak, who was inclined Passing to the right, Glenn Carre hurried forward, and after touching the ball, he went straight inside and to the right.


    Minto turned to chase after obviously unable to keep up with the speed of Glencharr, but Glencharr, who cut the ball inside to the bottom line, took the ball to find Fanny, who was outstripped in the middle. This attack.


    This was an attack that failed, but Gullit frowned.


    Millwall''s only four-person running position almost made the Chelsea team nervous.


    Grenchar, Fanny, and Larson did not go to the back of the spot, but looked for opportunities outside the penalty area. Nedvide was ambushed behind Fanny, and the Chelsea team returned to the half.


    What is Millwall doing?


    Do you want to rely on individual combat to solve the battle?


    Gullit didn''t know, but he found his team''s offense was bogged down.


    When Millwall, who came out of the attack, pushed forward as a whole, the defense naturally had a weak zone. When he encountered a team with super personal ability, he was counterattacked and immediately shouted in front of the door. Gullit¡¯s hopes were placed in the running position. Ghosts were flexibly interspersed in the crowd.


    However, Chelsea could not control the midfield, and the offensive could not be pushed from the middle.


    Di Matteo was caught in Barack''s struggle for the second time and lost the ball. The first time was a pass error, and the second time was made by Makelele on time.


    Whenever Millwall was turned from defense, Chelsea¡¯s players immediately ran back. They dared not go up. They feared that the local defense would be completely passive after being partially broken, especially after Millwall played more and less. It''s a disaster.


    But today, they ran back to defend according to Gullit''s tactics, but found that Millwall was not in a hurry to attack.


    They control the midfield steadily, two full-backs and full-backs, double midfielders plus front waist, which gives them a control advantage in the midfield, the ball rolls left and right, where is the wing player standing ? Close to the sideline, almost one foot out of the field, one foot in the field, when Chelsea players are about to press, they also have to pull to the sideline of the field, but Millwall does not play on the sideline, but long pass. Range transfer, make full use of the width of the field to transfer the offense.


    This horizontal pendulum-type scheduling tears the width of Chelsea''s line of defense to the greatest extent. When a certain point is disconnected from the line of defense during the movement, the flaw will come out.


    Millwall did not take the effort to swallow the mountains and rivers, but calmly controlled the pace of the game.


    Chelsea were desperate to kill a champion, but they couldn''t make it. They were dizzy by Millwall''s frequent transfers.


    This made their urgency irresistible and irritable, and more and more defensive flaws.


    Makelele passed Elgra''s pass and passed it to the left. Zambrotta set the assist and went up. After receiving the pass, Larsson grabbed the ball from Burley and Clark to grab the ball. Then kick the ball with the heel and the ball passes to the area behind.


    Both Clark and Burley were taken aback. The area there was originally Larson, and Zambrotta didn''t rush up. To whom did the ball pass?


    Nedved!


    The Czech obliquely inserted the rib at the position where Larsson most often appeared. He suddenly started, took the ball and immediately went to the bottom, sweeping in front of the goal on the edge of the bottom line in the penalty area.


    The Chelsea defense was shocked. Nedvide threw the defense behind behind with their speed. Their defense was to face their own goals. The defenders did not dare to take their feet easily. At the back point, Glencharr outscored the ball. Pushing the shot, Lerboof shovel blocked the shot with his body, but the ball was not out of the penalty area. On the line of the small penalty area, a Dutchman Sheng Xue in white, Sinclair was shocked to see that the other party was going to make up the shot. So he used his body to stop it.


    But the cunning Dutchman only used fake moves. He calmly took the ball horizontally and then flicked the ball towards the goal with his foot. The ball flew up. Although the strength was not strong, the angle was enough, and the football should be on the net!


    "Fannistrui made the first record for Millwall! A wonderful goal, he was so calm in the penalty area, simple and practical, if he directly kicked, he may be blocked, but he cheated Sinclair, put the ball into the goal easily, Chelsea fell behind, they worked hard today, but encountered an unusual Millwall, a more patient, simple but practical Millwall! Aldridge and his players, the Triple Crown, are within reach!"

 Chapter 224： Champions in sight

    Chelsea conceded the ball in the 23rd minute of the first half.


    Fanny rushed towards the corner of the flag to pay tribute to the fans, it is rare to get a starting opportunity in such an important game, he was able to score, naturally overjoyed.


    Chelsea players walked back with a sullen face, waiting for the kick-off as soon as the opponent celebrated.


    Chelsea fans in the stands were silent, as if they were hit hard.


    Crazy Lion fans shouted vigorously.


    "Chelsea, thank you mad lion! We will give you a ticket to the European War! Hahahaha!"


    In fact, Millwall won the league championship, regardless of whether Chelsea won the FA Cup, they can finally get a ticket to the European Cup of Winners.


    Aldridge got up from his seat after scoring a goal, smiled and applauded his disciples. After he sat down, he turned to Jenson and said: "Pavel and Henrik are smart players. Henrik has been in the past three years. The consciousness of the ball has been cultivated and it is time to be productive. Pavel¡¯s threat to the goal is becoming more and more obvious. It is difficult to define his role on the court. His starting position is the front waist position, but the range of activities covers the entire front court. He has a strong killer ability, and he has to tap his potential in the future."


    Jensen replied with a smile: "He has scored a lot of goals this season, what do you want him to do?"


    Aldrich shook his head and said: "Many of his goals this season are inserted into the long-range shot after the goal, or capture a second offensive opportunity. In the future, he will be closer to the goal and grab a spot directly in front of the goal!"


    After raising his eyebrows, Jenson said, "I really hope he can stay here all the time."


    Aldridge''s expression was stunned, and he smiled bitterly: "If you don''t mention this kind of topic today, it will make people feel bad."


    After conceding the goal, Chelsea regrouped and played a period of time to suppress the offensive, but in the threat zone inside and outside the penalty area, Millwall''s defense was very good.


    At the end of the first half, Millwall played a strong attack in turn, but Chelsea became a city. After the goal was conceded, they paid more attention to defense, except that Larsson nearly broke the city from a long shot near the penalty area. In addition, no other threatening shots appeared.


    At the end of the half, the score is 0:1, Chelsea is nominally home, so they are ahead.


    At midfield Aldridge arranged some tactics, and then ordered the players to maintain their focus on the game.


    In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.


    The Millwall fans'' songs were floating in the stands. Now, they are singing a self-edited light song instead of a rock rhythm team song.


    At the end of the song, the song will repeat "Millwall, Chong Chong Chong."


    So at this rhythm, all Millwall fans will continue to repeat this sentence: Millwall, rushing!


    This made their cheer in the stands very imposing, as if the lion king in Xiaoao Mountain was roaring to the earth.


    Gullit is not very good as a head coach. There are not many tricks. When the team is running smoothly, there are no problems, but the ability to test the team and coach is to see the changes in adversity.


    Ten minutes before the second half, Chelsea¡¯s disadvantage became more obvious, and they worked harder, but there was a tacit understanding among the players. Some players fight fiercely, the pace is fast, some players are steady, and the rhythm is slow, which makes them Made frequent mistakes.


    And Millwall?


    Like a sophisticated machine, the entire team is at the same speed. Even if they are not as aggressive as today, their ability to capture opportunities by grasping the situation is fully utilized.


    Chelsea''s most fierce fight is their spiritual leader Wise. This bad boy has been sweating for a long time. When he sees the ball, he robs and runs tirelessly.


    Perhaps among these players, he has the strongest sense of belonging to the team.


    Twenty-six years!


    Chelsea have not won any weighty championships in 26 years!


    Today, this should be the moment to end this record.


    Can''t lose.


    Can''t lose.


    Can''t lose!


    Wise saw Glennshire holding the ball on his back. He was chasing back. The mentality of trying to equalize the score for the team was too eager. He directly chose to shovel and his feet left the ground!


    When Glenchard took the ball, he saw Wise shoveling over. He was also surprised to avoid it. In a hurry, the whole person lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground, just suppressing Wise and the ball.


    Wise immediately got up and wanted to grab the ball, but under Glenshire, he kicked with his feet...


    "Grass! Is this **** playing?"


    Aldridge was originally drinking water with a water bottle. After seeing this scene, he directly smashed the water bottle and rushed out to growl at the fourth official.


    He has witnessed Neil being seriously injured by the shovel, so he is very sensitive to this kind of tackle. Unlike many top guards who are master tacklers, some players have a fevered mind in order to grab the ball. The idea of ??the legs does this action, but there may be irreversible consequences!


    The referee halted the game, and Aldridge shouted directly at the referee on the sidelines: "This is the FA Cup final! This **** represents the image of English football! If you can''t control the game and make a fair penalty, This **** is your disaster, you are the sinner of English football!"


    Although his words sounded uncomfortable to the referee, but the sentences are reasonable.


    Before the establishment of the Premier League, the FA Cup was more influential than the Premier League!


    Glenn Carre just stood up and sat down on the grass, his hands on the grass behind him, looking helplessly at his left leg.


    There are three openings on top, blood running down the calf, stained with red white socks.


    Judging from his expression, it was just a traumatic injury and was scratched by Wise''s spikes. Fortunately, he hid fast, otherwise I really don''t know if Millwall will be seriously injured by players for two consecutive years!


    Wise hurriedly explained to the referee that his actions were not intended to hurt anyone. He had just taken two steps. Southgate rushed up, screamed at him, and then turned to pressure the referee.


    Before the other Chelsea players came, the referee already showed Wise a red card!


    The key point is that his second move was too bad. Glenchar fell because he was avoiding. The ball was pressed under him, and Wise fell, but he stood up and kicked under Glenshire''s stomach. He couldn''t stay on the court anyway, and his reason was obviously out of control.


    Millwall''s team doctor went to bandage the wound to Glencharr. Although the team doctor had the power to provide advice, Glenhall still insisted on continuing the game.


    Rarely starting in the finals, Glennshire does not want to be replaced in advance.


    Gullit and Chelsea players protested to the referee, while Aldridge stood coldly with his hands on his hips and stood outside the center circle. After seeing that Glennshire stood up and there was no sign of strong support, Audrey The Wizards walked back to their seats and sat down.


    In the box, Bates gritted his teeth and grumbled at Arthur: "You bought the referee?!"


    Arthur was also furious and shouted at him: "You guys kicked dirty, are you still making excuses?"


    ...


    After the storm subsided, the game restarted, Gullit replaced Hughes with Viali, and the team formation became 441.


    With less than half an hour left in the game, the team was behind and the number was one less. Chelsea had no choice but to break the boat.


    The full-back is used as a winger and the full-back is used as a forward. Midfield Di Matteo was completely restricted to death today. Chelsea can only rely on the play of two sides during the counterattack.


    The scene of the army''s pressure, Millwall is no stranger.


    They are now in a hundred battles, especially two days ago, Barcelona finally fought four strikers, plus other offensive players, almost eight of them went through the half-court, and they were able to withstand the pressure. And the Chelsea players, in terms of individual ability and teamwork, must have a huge gap with Barcelona. As long as Millwall¡¯s mentality is not underestimated and he does not make mistakes himself, he will not give his opponents a chance.


    Zola pulled Zambrotta after getting the ball on the sideline. Zambrotta stuck in position. Unexpectedly, Zola, who was flexible, just wiped it away, but he just passed Zambrotta. Special defense broke the ball, Zola hit Southgate''s body and fell into the penalty area. Chelsea fans in the stands all stood up and called for a penalty!


    The head referee ignored it and even raised Zolayan''s right hand to signal him to get up.


    Fans of the crazy lion were disdainful: the short-legged tiger hit Southgate himself, and the ball has been cut by Southgate. If the penalty kick is taken, our striker enters the penalty area and has a penalty every minute. .


    Southgate crosses the ball to Elgra after passing the ball, Viali rushes in, Elgra passes the ball to Schneider on the right side calmly and moderately.


    A long pass from Schneider sent the ball to the frontcourt. Chelsea defended the emptiness. Schneider was originally played as a full-back. This season he took over the right-back position after Thuram left the team. Although the defense and Thuram did not Comparability, but in the offense, especially when the defender turns the ball, his overall view is simply amazing.


    After the ball passed halftime, Fanny stopped the ball in the chest and passed the ball to Glencarr, who ran up the lane at high speed.


    Only Chelsea''s defense line, with only LeBoff and Sinclair remaining, sounded the alarm again.


    While LeBov stepped back, he consciously blocked Glennshire''s course.


    However, surprisingly, Glennshire did not dribble forward after cutting in from the right. Instead, he took a diagonal line to the middle and took the ball all the way to the left.


    Sinclair stared back at Fanny step by step, while distractedly watching Larson.


    Larson ran all the way from the original left to the right.


    When Glenchard came to the left in front of the penalty area, Sinclair gave up Fanny to block Glenchard, and LeBov replaced him to stare at the guard.


    When Larson, who had completed the cross position, entered from behind Fanny to the right side of the penalty area, Lebov obviously had a hesitant choice. At this time, the ball leapt from the left and crossed the back line. Overhead.


    Larson looked at the ball that was coming as expected, and didn''t wait for the ball to land. He came a volley!


    The goalkeeper did not respond and the ball hit the far corner of the goal neatly!


    "Millwall leads by two goals! Larson, the super scorer, his 52nd goal this season! Two days ago he scored twice in the Netherlands to help the team win the cup. Today he scored again, He is a big scene player! Millwall¡¯s leading shooter has a fantastic season performance!"


    Larsson didn''t celebrate after scoring because he slowed down after shooting and he walked a bit strangely, limping.


    Fanny, Glennall, the two players closest to him, ran towards him, but saw Larson smile with some regret, and made a substitution gesture towards Aldridge.


    "Oh, Larson was injured. He is Millwall''s most played player this season. It is understandable that he has not been able to persevere until the end of the game. I hope his injury is not serious."


    Aldridge''s expression was slightly sad, and he secretly said: The goal was too bad...


    Millwall fans all stood up and applauded Larson, cheering the title of European shooter king.


    Aldridge came to the players bench before he decided to replace another forward to replace Larson.


    Seeing the forward candidates on the bench, Aldridge couldn''t help himself.


    Trezeguet didn''t make it to the big list, because in the summer he still has the national team''s task: the World Youth Championship.


    Shevchenko sat on the bench, able to play.


    Neither Tony nor Phillips made the list.


    There is also a striker, Aldridge initially let him sit on the bench, just to let him feel the atmosphere.


    However, it is wrong, now leading by 2:0, and playing one more person, Aldridge intends to let this player go to the field to really experience it.


    He walked to the young man with a big face and a big bite and smiled, "Ronaldinho, warm up."

 Chapter 225： Passion and happiness

    17-year-old Ronaldinho knew he was on the team roster on the morning of the finals. Although he was on the bench, he was particularly excited because this was the first time he appeared on the first-team lineup, even if he was sitting on the bench. On the table, he was also excited.


    Although he is now the leader of the youth team, he does not have much presence in the first team.


    Ronaldinho was sitting on the bench before the game. He was sitting on the bench like a soldier on standby. His spirit was highly concentrated, his eyes looked at the game for a while, and then he stared at Aldridge.


    Boss, when will you change me?


    He waited and waited and watched.


    Fanny scored, the team took the lead, Wise red card came off, and the predecessor, Larsen, scored again...


    Xiao Luowang wanted to wear his eyes, and the excitement before the game gradually became calm, and he was somewhat lost.


    At this moment, Aldridge came to him and asked him to warm up. Ronaldinho seemed to hear the most wonderful natural sound in the world. The whole person was rejuvenated.


    Aldridge also gave warm-up instructions to Lampard and Gattuso.


    Larson walked back around the court accompanied by the team doctor. Aldridge stepped forward and said to Larson: "It''s time for you to rest. Your physical fitness is already at its limit."


    For players older than their physical age, Aldridge has always communicated with players in the tone of "friends". Only players younger than their physical age will have a little more dignity in their posture.


    Although Larson hurt his thigh, the injury is not serious. In addition, he is about to enter the vacation. In the summer, he does not have the task of the national team. The impact on next season will not be too great.


    "Boss, thank you for not putting me on the bench."


    Larson smiled and said this sentence, walked back to the bench and sat down, the team doctor massaged his thigh in front of him, watching Millwall''s posture, it should be no problem to win the game, so Larson will definitely not be this Time to leave, they will have an award ceremony later.


    Aldridge no longer talked much, and everything between the master and the disciple was unspoken.


    This season is very important for Larson. He is hitting the goal limit and his teammates are working hard for him. If you miss this opportunity, I am afraid that he will regret it for life.


    After the three players warmed up, Aldridge stood on the sidelines to prepare for substitutions. Benitez and Jenson arranged for Gattuso and Lampard on the field respectively. Aldridge called Ronaldinho to the front.


    "nervous?"


    Aldridge asked with a smile.


    Ronaldinho looked around the court and looked at the players on the court. He shook his head and said, "Okay, I always wanted to play with them."


    Aldridge also looked at the players on the field. Millwall has players such as Nedvide, Makelele, Southgate, etc. Young players will have a psychological "reliance" when they debut, which greatly reduces them. Psychological pressure, which is also the common practice of Aldridge to train newcomers after stabilizing the team''s framework, taking the old to the new and the strong to the weak. Although players such as Nedved are not old, their strength is obvious to all. .


    "Remember the defensive mission?"


    "Ok!"


    "Where should I appear when attacking?"


    "understand!"


    Aldridge smiled on his shoulders: "Today just go up and feel the atmosphere, don''t put pressure on yourself."


    Ronaldinho nodded, then walked to the fourth official under Aldridge''s eyes, but halfway through, he turned his head and walked back.


    Aldridge is suspicious: your kid should not be frightened?


    Who knows that Ronaldinho came to him again and asked seriously: "If I scored, boss, will you celebrate for me?"


    Aldrich thought the kid thought too much and snorted, "No problem, I will celebrate for you, but you can''t just think about scoring yourself."


    "I know, I know, but where I play, scoring has always been one of my tasks. Well, if I score, I will come to you to celebrate."


    Aldridge had a headache. He turned Ronaldinho on his shoulders and pushed him towards the fourth official. He said: "Don''t delay the time, go into the game and talk about it."


    "You can''t lie to me!"


    Ronaldinho, Lampard and Gattuso were put on the court together.


    Ronaldinho succeeded Larsson as a left-winger, Lampard and Gattuso succeeded Barack and Makelele.


    After the three players came on the court, Chelsea''s counterattack was higher than that.


    Gattuso and Lampard swept the defense in front of the penalty area, Ronaldinho also returned to the second half and Zambrotta became a defense against the left half of the second half.


    With equal numbers, Millwall¡¯s defense will basically not be flawed, which forces the attacking team to invest more troops, because in the one-on-one situation, they don¡¯t have many players to have the upper hand.


    Such a counterattack is very dangerous, often relying on momentum and a certain period of intensive offensive to create goals. If you can''t score quickly, the offensive players will be discouraged and at the same time there will be more and more loopholes in defense.


    The game time passed by one minute and one second, and Chelsea could not be attacked anymore. Because they played one less, their running would need to pay more in a short period of time. In the last three minutes of the game, they were already the end of the crossbow.


    Di Matteo barely raised his feet next to Lampard, hitting a long shot well, but Bout firmly held the ball in his arms.


    Chelsea players and fans have already begun to despair, and at this moment, Bout took the ball forward, a hand tossed the ball directly to the left side of the road near the center position.


    Chelsea players defensively pay little attention to Ronaldinho as a stranger. When they retired from offense to defensive defense, the key players whose eyes first captured were the positions of Nedvide and Glenchard. Fanny was staring closely at Le Bove.


    Ronaldinho took the ball near the center circle on the left. There was only one defensive player in front of him, Clark.


    Clark seemed to want to **** Ronaldinho''s ball directly with a close snatch, and then hit a counterattack on the spot.


    Ronaldinho took the ball on his back and turned his body to the right. Clark then stretched his foot to the right to break the ball.


    However, Ronaldinho''s movements changed halfway. After Clark had already shifted to the right, Ronaldinho stopped and turned from the left to complete the turn, and wiped Clark and started at full speed!


    In front of a flat Pingchuan, Ronaldinho started the long-distance attack with the ball!


    If it is a track and field competition, Ronaldinho¡¯s 100m speed can not win the championship in Millwall, but the top five is no problem, but, with the speed of the ball state, Ronaldinho is the fastest in the team, which stems from He has a good sense of ball, combined with the foot skills of the ball.


    Lebov clung to Fanny who was running closely, and Nedved began to sprint forward. Sinclair did not dare to carelessly, and immediately followed Nedved''s running route all the way.


    Instead, Ronaldinho rushed forward to kill no one to stop from the sidelines.


    After all, there are only two central defenders left in Chelsea. Perhaps they judged that the running positions of Fanny and Nedved are more threatening. Ronaldinho, a young player who is not known about his name, must be for the "big brothers".


    When Ronaldinho brought the ball to the big penalty area at high speed, there was still no one to block him!


    Aldridge got up from his seat and walked to the side of the court, his face surprised.


    Grass, won''t it? ! What is rhythm?


    After Ronaldinho brought the ball into the penalty area, Sinclair finally gave up Nedved''s replacement and they realized that this guy''s brain was a rib and it seemed that he would not pass the ball!


    Sinclair moved laterally, Ronaldinho made a step on the bicycle, and then moved the ball horizontally, the movement was consistent, and the rhythm changed obviously. Sinclair had to turn around and chase afterwards. As a result, his thinking and body could not be synchronized and slipped. In front of Ronaldinho.


    Ronaldinho already had a shooting angle after he drew the ball laterally. He chose the shot without hesitation.


    Put the ball cleanly into the corner of the goal, the goalkeeper''s save will not help!


    "Go in, score a goal! Here, he, who is he? Who is this guy? He started dribbling with the ball from the midfield, dumped Clark, shook Sinclair again in the penalty area, and finally scored the ball, Who is he? Is Millwall another genius star born? Ronaldinho! We are going to do one thing now, that is to remember the name firmly, because this is his first team The first show, the first show in the FA Cup final and scored goals! Aldridge Hall is crazy, but football is crazy! This is a goal that is never seen and enjoyed, it is Ronaldinho Performance, we should cheer for this goal!"


    The stands are boiling. Although Millwall¡¯s football philosophy is about teamwork, fans can never refuse to score goals for personal performances. The passion it brings is the most intuitive and shocking.


    Millwall fans shouted loudly, whistling to applaud the goal.


    Some **** fans even yelled to their companions in the stands.


    "His name is Ronaldinho, I have known him for a long time, he is the most watched genius at Leo Youth Training Base! Joe Cole is not as good as him! I knew he would have this day, he would Is one of our best players!"


    All Millwall coaches and players walked to the sidelines. One was waiting to celebrate after the game, and the other was shocked by Ronaldinho''s goal.


    Aldridge was so happy when he saw the goal. He asked the coaches next to him with an inscrutable look: Did you see it? see it?


    Although this goal reflects Ronaldinho''s personal ability, in a sense, Fanny and Nedved gave him a cover, and the opponent also despised him.


    In any case, Ronaldinho scored and scored the first show, and the FA Cup final, even if it is icing on the cake, is enough to make Ronaldinho excited.


    He ran all the way to the sidelines and laughed at Aldridge: "Boss, I scored a goal! Let''s celebrate together!"


    Aldridge applauded him and said, "Good job!"


    Ronaldinho shook his head suddenly: "No, no, come, dance with me! I have vowed that you must dance with me on the sidelines!"


    Aldridge''s expression was dumbfounded, but Ronaldinho then shouted at him again: "Are you going to eat?


    The surrounding coaches and players stared at Aldridge with good intentions, and some people cheered.


    Aldridge nodded helplessly, the people next to him took a step back, Ronaldinho walked to Aldridge, the two smiled and samba dance together.


    When the two of them turned around 360 degrees in the same place, their right hands crossed the arc in front of them and flew to the sky. The two took a hug.


    On the Wembley stadium stands, the fans of the lion cubs all stood up and applauded, and Millwall¡¯s flag waved like waves on the stands.


    The fans watched Audric and Ronaldinho jump up Samba together, which made them happy to talk, and just looked at it and felt happy.


    Under the supervision of Aldridge, Millwall never lacked passion, but now, he also adds an element of happiness.


    Chelsea players and fans watched numbly as their foes were celebrating unscrupulously, and many people showed envy in their eyes.


    The narrator was also infected by this scene, shouting excitedly about the strong and team atmosphere of Millwall football.


    When Aldrich let Ronaldinho go, Ronaldinho painted a cross on his chest and pointed his fingers to the sky.


    Teammates came over to congratulate him on scoring goals, and they embraced Ronaldinho.


    There were four minutes of stoppage time remaining in the game, but the game did not restart immediately.


    Because Sinclair was injured, he slipped while defending Ronaldinho and sprained his thigh.


    Chelsea did their best in this game, and the result was a loss and a loss.


    Bates left the box angrily after Chelsea dropped the third ball. Arthur also danced in the box. The fat middle-aged man was as happy as an old naughty boy.


    Chelsea was unable to make a comeback and spent the last four minutes in Millwall''s controlled ball fall.


    When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the match, Southgate kicked the ball into the sky, then shouted hard, and all Millwall players clenched their fists with passion.


    "Triple Crown!"

 Chapter 226： Part of life

    "The 1996-1997 England FA Cup final match ended, Chelsea lost to defending champion Millwall 0:3, congratulations Millwall, they won the third trophy this season, becoming the first in the history of the English Football Club The single-season league, the FA Cup, the European Championship triumph team, the young coach Audrey Hall let his name go down in history, and also made Millwall a force that cannot be ignored in English football. , How long can their glory continue today? Let us wait and see!"


    When the coaches and players walked into the field and started celebrating, Aldrich turned to Gullit, the braid was handsome and expressionless, and the two separated after shaking hands with Aldridge.


    Most of Chelsea''s fans have retired. Wembley stadium echoes the songs sung by the fans of the mad lions, spreading the great achievements of mad lions.


    Aldridge walked into the court to embrace each player.


    Perhaps it was in the Netherlands two days ago, they had just experienced the crazy joy after winning the championship. Today, the players were a little calm. After the victory, they returned to normal, smiling each other, hugging each other with smiles, saluting to the fans in the stands.


    Chelsea players sat alone, looking at their dead enemies with a sad face.


    The award ceremony began soon. Chelsea players also lined up to watch the Millwall team walk into the royal box. The players could not wait to go up. Aldridge dragged the last one, high-five with the fans on both sides of the channel, accept cheer.


    When FAFC Chairman Wiseman held Aldridge''s hand, he smiled with a smile on his face: "I didn''t expect to meet you here again a year later, hahaha."


    Aldridge said with a smile: "Oh, do you bother me?"


    Wiseman lowered his head to say in his ear: "Milwall is awesome, and this year''s contribution to England is not small. Continue to make efforts next season, Aldridge, I like your team."


    His "affectionate confession" is indeed from his heart.


    Millwall borrowed the Wembley Stadium to generate revenue for the FA. At the same time, Millwall achieved good results in the European War and also competed for England. In addition, UEFA began to implement the European League points system. The competitiveness of the European War will be directly linked to the European status of the Premier League.


    The two took advantage of this opportunity for a short period of time.


    In addition to praise, Wiseman also expressed his hope in Odric''s ear.


    "Millwall youth training is so good, can he train more English players in the future?"


    Aldridge took three years to turn Millwall from a second-tier league team to a Premier League champion. His coaching ability has not only been reflected in the evaluation of playing a few good games, but a real honor book. It proves that in addition to being in the first year of the League One, five important trophies have been harvested in the next two years, which may be the achievement of many coaches in their lifetime.


    But Millwall is also criticized for not paying attention to localization.


    The proportion of English players in the first team is too small. In addition to the Southgate iron, other players, such as Phillips, Lampard, Ferdinand and Mills, have no main position. There was originally a Richards. Has also said goodbye to player roles.


    Aldridge has his own hidden secrets. Millwall wants to attract high-level English players. It has been difficult for the past two years. Now, they should have the capital to attract local stars. In the main position factor, he has broken the idea of ??directly buying famous stars.


    "Millwall''s youth training is still in the development stage, and training English players is one of our development goals. Before long, we will have more excellent English players."


    Aldridge and Wiseman played an official role, but it is not without aim, but in the youth team, two Cole are the important players in the future Millwall plan.


    In front of the chairman of the FA, Aldridge didn''t think there was a problem saying something that pleased the other party. Wiseman was obviously very happy and went to give the award.


    Southgate called Larson in the middle and smiled at him: "Come and hold the trophy!"


    As the third captain of the team, Larson is of course qualified to win the trophy. In the penultimate round of the league¡¯s cup ceremony, Nedved won the trophy. In the Netherlands, it is Southgate. At the end of the season, this This award should be left to Larson, a super scorer who has dedicated 52 goals to the team this season.


    Although he scored many goals, he only accounted for 30% of the team¡¯s total goals scored this season. Millwall¡¯s offensive firepower in various events this year was completely released. This is related to their mature offensive system. Withdrawal and frontcourt wingers made their offense unstoppable. Nedved scored assists and doubles 20+ throughout the season. The striker Trident scored 97 goals in various competitions, plus the number of goals scored by other players. Millwall was gorgeous ''S offensive conquered England and became famous in Europe!


    After Larson took the trophy from Wiseman, his eyes were a little wet, looking at Nedved on the left, and Southgate on the right, his eyes swept over each teammate, and finally looked at Aldridge behind the left-most team''s tail saw his boss smile at him and encourage him.


    Larson knows how much his teammates helped him at the end of the season, otherwise he would not have scored so many goals.


    "Guys, thank you! Thank you! Millwall, we are champions!"


    Larson shouted to win the FA Cup championship trophy, Millwall players also waved their fists and roared to the sky.


    "We are the champion! The Triple Crown!"


    After holding the cup, the players walked down from the other side of the aisle, Aldridge dragged in the back, but the camera followed him all the time. When he went down, Melanie, who stood at the edge of the aisle, waved his arm to him.


    "Aldrich! Aldrich!"


    Aldrich turned his head and found that Melanie was still standing next to Victoria and Beckham. He walked over and wrapped her arms around Melanie''s neck, and kissed him relentlessly.


    The Triple Crown, the first in the history of England, has worked hard for a season without fuss. The joy of a good harvest makes him unable to restrain his inner excitement.


    This is definitely a season that made him famous!


    But football is a never-ending sport. He knows that he can¡¯t be complacent, he can¡¯t stop chasing victory, he can¡¯t lie on the books of honor, but at this moment, he deserves a breather and enjoys this moment!


    The celebration stage started to be built on the court, and the players first returned to the dressing room to change clothes.


    For today, they specially prepared the championship commemorative shirt.


    When Aldridge walked off the court, the players'' family members or girlfriends all appeared on the field, watching a few young children standing on the court, wearing their father''s miniature jerseys, Aldridge''s eyes were gentle and intoxicated.


    There are more than 35,000 fans in the stands. They are fans of the crazy lion. They know that the team will celebrate on this venue next, so they want to witness all this.


    "Aldrich! Aldrich! Aldrich!"


    Suddenly, the Wembley Stadium shouted loudly, and the fans tirelessly shouted the name of Aldridge in the stands, expressing respect and love for him.


    Aldridge raised his hands above his head and applauded, then walked back into the player''s tunnel.


    Club CEOs Adam Jane and Evan Lowell each walked into the stadium with a trophy.


    The simple stage has been set up. On the grass in front of the stage, Adam arranged the three trophies side by side.


    At the center is the Premier League trophy. The FA Cup champion trophy and the European Winners'' Cup trophy are on either side.


    Yiwen Sheng Xue in white today, the lady''s suit and narrow skirt are worn on her like a white-collar beauty, elegant and beautiful.


    Fans are already familiar with her existence. She used to be one of the managers of the fan organization. After all the Millwall home games this season, she will appear in the stands and sit next to Puskas and Arthur. Gao became the goddess of Millwall¡¯s stands. In the second half of the season, she worked in the administration of Millwall, part-time host of Millwall TV. In some officially released retrospective tapes, her voice and interviews have made her There is no small popularity.


    At this time, she picked up the microphone and stood on the stage, passionately asked the fans: "Are you happy this season?"


    "of course!"


    The fans in the stands laughed when they roared.


    "Ladies and gentlemen, let''s welcome the English FA Cup, the European Cup Winners'' Cup, the English Premier League! The captain of Millwall, Gareth Southgate!"


    There was a thunderous cry from the scene, and then there was applause.


    Southgate was the first to walk out of the player aisle in the team''s championship commemorative shirt. On both sides of the red carpet, were the players'' families. Southgate''s wife was crying with tears holding their children.


    It is difficult for outsiders to understand how difficult their lives have been in the past year. This is of course not material, but mental pressure. It has been criticized and attacked by some extreme fans, and they have almost disappeared even the most basic sense of security.


    Southgate walked over to hug his wife and children, kissed gently on their faces, and then stood up and waved their thanks to the fans in the stands.


    "Pavel Nedved!"


    Yi Wen shouted the name of the second player passionately.


    Nedved entered the field for the second time, with a charming smile on his face, which made the God of War, who always displayed the steel will in the game, drunk the hearts of countless girls Huaichun.


    ...


    When all the first-team players and Ronaldinho were on the stage, they stood in two rows talking and laughing, and the pattern on the winning commemorative shirt was particularly eye-catching.


    On the chest is the blue male lion on the Millwall emblem. At the foot of the male lion are three trophies, and the bottom is the words 1996-1997.


    This commemorative shirt is worthy of their collection.


    "Finally, who else? Let''s come together, three two one!"


    The fans shouted: "Audrich Hall!"


    Aldridge walked out in a suit and leather, and he walked to the stage with an iconic smile, and took the microphone from Ewen.


    The audience was silent and listened to the speech he was about to make.


    "Cough, Millwall, champion, Millwall, champion."


    Aldridge said twice himself, and then suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Milwall!"


    Extend the microphone towards the stand and listen to Wembley''s sky covered by a voice.


    "champion!"


    "Milwall?"


    "champion!"


    ...


    Aldridge shouted five times before he died down.


    The fans at the scene also shouted very much.


    Aldridge was silent for twenty seconds, and then said quietly into the microphone: "To be honest, I was not a fan of Millwall before the age of 18."


    Everyone in the audience was dumbfounded.


    Isn¡¯t the language amazing?


    But this is demolishing your own station!


    There was panic in the hearts of the fans, how did this **** sound like a parting declaration?


    Aldridge went on to say: "My family, each of them is a Millwall fan. Even my three-year-old nephew, he loves Millwall very much, but I was 18 years old, no, this I am ashamed. Compared with you, my contribution to this club is almost insignificant. Some people say that Millwall¡¯s achievements this season have made England¡¯s eyes focused on London, and Millwall began to be valued by everyone. In England and Europe, there will be more people who like this club, so some people start talking about my contribution to this club, but I want to tell everyone, I, Audridge Hall, I¡¯m just a no-nonsense, What is the success of this club? It is them, this one and another outstanding players, and what is the great place of Millwall? We have no champions in the past that we can show up with other fans and talk about our The history is glorious, but Millwall has you, and this is the greatest place! Without you, this club loses its meaning of existence! You use action to explain what is called loyalty, what is inseparable, what is dead Follow! As the team coach, I admire you, as the team manager, I am grateful to you! If you ask me now: Aldridge, are you a Millwall fan? My answer is: I am not! Milwaukee Has become the most important part of my life!"


    Aldridge made a bow and thank gesture to the grandstands after he said this.


    Many fans in the stands burst into tears, and the applause continued for a long time.


    That''s right, for the club''s most loyal supporters, they only love one team in their lives. This kind of love is interpreted with the time of life, and it is used to support the storm to write a **** acura.


    After the applause subsided, Aldridge said calmly, "You have expressed your gratitude to each player of the team, but we forgot a person, a person who has left. Here, I want to say to him : Yap Stam, thank you, good luck, I hope you can also thank him for his contribution to the team in the past three years, and bless him, our success is inseparable from his efforts, he is a ..."


    Aldridge couldn''t say anything, because there was a huge boo in the stands.


    The transfer of Stam has been announced and will be implemented as soon as the transfer period is up.


    Fans can''t forgive this betrayal, especially with Manchester United when the team''s championship is the most critical.


    "Please don¡¯t do this, please don¡¯t. We will look forward and Millwall will look forward. I know that because of how much we love him, we only feel sad about his departure, but life has to continue, ball The team will continue to move forward as always, we accept all this rationally and give the leaving people fair treatment. In any case, I thank him, if anyone can¡¯t accept his departure, then please forget. No matter what happens, we will Welcome the future with confidence, so what we should expect is tomorrow. Now, I can¡¯t wait for the new season to start, letting more teams know about Millwall, how about you?¡±


    The fans in the stands recovered their anger at Stam''s departure.


    If it weren¡¯t that many fans had acted irrationally after the transfer announcement, Aldridge might not have said it today.


    "Although I hope that the new season will start earlier, the players have struggled for ten months and it is time for them to take a break. Here, we have an appointment. In the new season, we are still together and witness the future of Millwall. !"


    After Aldridge finished speaking, the audience applauded again, and at this time, the fireworks were all over the place, and the players of the team jumped and jumped on the stage to shout the championship.


    They began to take photos together on the court. Everyone took pictures in front of the three championship trophies. Larson also showed his Premier League gold boots. Others who won other awards of the season, such as Pirlo, beat Beckham. The newcomer awards won, they all show the awards.


    This is a bumper season and Millwall''s starting point for brilliance.


    In 1997, the international financial speculators headed by Soros began to sweep across Southeast Asian countries in July. The Asian financial crisis became the main theme of the second half of the world. The countries that suffered financial looting in Southeast Asia have all demanded that financial speculators bear the brunt of Soros." In the list of "economic war criminals", Barnett Hall is on the list. The Hall family once again achieved rapid capital growth in the international financial market. Barnett was ranked the youngest British billionaire in the next year.


    This year, Cantona announced his retirement, the Labor Party came to power, Blair was in power, the new economic policy stimulated a strong recovery of the pound, and the economic power of the Premier League team has been significantly improved.


    Princess Diana''s fragrance disappeared, Gascoigne collapsed into self-destruction, British national idols entered a vacuum, English star Beckham and England young commander Aldridge entered the public eye and began to take the throne of national idols.


    East London is not as magnificent as northwest London. It looks like an urban rural land. A blue lion quickly became strong after waking up. It overturned the rivers and lakes of the Premier League and subverted the pattern of the BIG5 era. A big-mouthed tiger looks at Europa, intending to cause trouble to the world...


    Volume IV Champion Throne

 Chapter 227： New journey begins

    On the evening of May 18, 1997, the Millwall Club, which won the triple crown, celebrated with a bus parade in East London. Millwall fans gathered on both sides of the road and cheered enthusiastically.


    Players in suits and leather suits feel the glory of the championship. For them, the season is over and the celebration at this time is part of enjoying life.


    But for another protagonist who did not show up, the work continues.


    Millwall Community, Aldridge Residence Apartments.


    Ronaldinho, with a tissue in his nostril, sat cross-legged on the sofa holding half a watermelon, digging a watermelon with a spoon and sending it to his mouth. He stared intently at the football news on TV.


    This afternoon, compared to Millwall''s sensation of celebrating the Triple Crown, there was also news in the English football circle that became the focus.


    Old Trafford King Cantona officially announced his retirement this afternoon!


    The football superstar, who will turn 31 years old within a week, unexpectedly chose to say goodbye to the greenery field at this time, not only to make Fleet Street uproar, I am afraid that the Manchester United locker room and all Manchester United fans will be shocked.


    Aldridge came down from the upstairs and followed two young men in work clothes, who carried a malfunctioning treadmill.


    "We will take this treadmill back for inspection. If it is for quality reasons, we will replace it with a new one for you."


    After the two boys finished speaking, they carried the treadmill and left Aldridge''s apartment.


    Aldridge closed the door and walked back to complain to Ronaldinho: "You are not heavy, how did you break my treadmill, then, the team is on holiday, you do not go to the first team celebration , If you want to exercise yourself, just go to the youth training base."


    Ronaldinho didn''t turn his head back: "The distance is a bit far, and I don''t know if anyone is there. At first, your treadmill is too fragile. I ran for three minutes, but the machine stopped suddenly. It made me hit the wall directly, and my nose still hurts now."


    Aldridge patted his head slightly helpless, Ronaldinho turned back and pointed at the TV and said: "They said Cantona is a superstar, why do I feel that he is not at all powerful? He played in England six In half a year, he scored less than Henrik played for Millwall for more than three years."


    Aldrich scratched his head for a moment of silence, and then said: "Because you can''t just think of him as a striker, he is not only the core player of Manchester United, but also the spiritual leader of Manchester United. His role includes goals and assists, including The impact on the morale of the team, er, this invisible effect is difficult to find through the data. Why is he a superstar? Because he is not only a star, but also helps his teammates become stars."


    For a superstar like Cantona, the efficiency of scoring cannot reflect his value. The value of this player''s team is more intuitively reflected: he is not on the court and the team''s record is ups and downs.


    There is also such a player in Millwall. Nedved is that his fighting spirit infects his teammates, so that his teammates will not give up in adversity, giving others the belief in fighting tenaciously. This intangible spirit is the most valuable.


    Therefore, Manchester United have more stars than Cantona in scoring more efficiently, and players with longer playing time have also grabbed a lot. In terms of status, the King of Old Trafford is not worthy of fame.


    Ronaldinho put down the watermelon in his arms and stood up to stretch himself. He could understand the literal meaning of Aldridge, but he didn''t understand the meaning.


    What is "not only a star, but also helping teammates become stars?"


    Ronaldinho didn''t think about it either. This wasn''t something he should worry about, just asked casually just now.


    He picked up his travel bag on the other end of the sofa and waved to Aldridge: "Boss, I''m gone, don''t think about me."


    Aldridge gave him a thumbs up and encouraged: "Go to the national team and perform well."


    Ronaldinho stepped out of the door and waved his hand without looking back, saying, "Relax, you won''t be ashamed of Millwall."


    Aldridge laughed dumbly and embarrassed? To lose is also to lose Brazil''s face.


    Ronaldinho was recruited by the Brazilian national team to participate in the World Youth Championships held in the summer.


    There will also be a World Youth Championship in the summer. Aldrich¡¯s colleagues have already moved to watch the game and collect good seedlings, but he does not plan to watch the game because it is too far, one in Africa and one in Asia. Even the Confederations Cup is held in Saudi Arabia, and Aldridge¡¯s plan for this summer is to be in Europe.


    Back to the gym to sort it out, especially when Ronaldinho had a nosebleed on the wall and his nose bleeds from the wall. Aldridge was busy for a long time before cleaning up. At dinner time, he went downstairs to open the refrigerator and searched around with his eyes. After closing the refrigerator door helplessly, he sighed, "Ronaldinho, you are a thief!"


    The fruit juice squeezed at noon was placed in the refrigerator to refrigerate, but when it was ready to be eaten, the juice bottle was missing.


    Ronaldinho sneezed the juice bottle into the trash can at the airport, and then took the travel bag to board the plane, still thinking: the juice prepared by the head was really delicious, come back and go again Taste at his house.


    Aldridge rested at home for two days, and then quickly entered a working state.


    Although the door of the transfer market has not yet been opened, as long as the club has no personnel changes, the team has begun to recruit.


    Following the glorious Triple Crown last season, Millwall updated the player''s contract renewal news every day on the official website. This is a means of propaganda that keeps the team constantly exposed to the news.


    In fact, the contracts of the players in the team have been renewed. Some players have five-year long contracts, such as Southgate, Larsen, Nedved, Schneider and other players, and some players are three to four. For the two-year contract, some players want to sign it, such as Shevchenko, but Aldridge directly refused, and after negotiation, the contract period is set to three years.


    The two-year contract has almost no binding force. After one year, the player becomes a semi-free body. Aldrich will never wait for the player¡¯s contract to be considered for renewal or sale. It will sell early, and to renew the contract, at least guarantee the safety of the contract for more than two years, because he looks at the overall situation and focuses on the team''s construction in the next five years.


    If a player proposes to renew the contract for less than three years, and the attitude is firm, Aldridge will immediately think about this player''s replacement.


    The authority of the head coach is to override the player, but the player is the role of the head coach to achieve the goal. In this way, the player is actually above the head coach.


    The Millwall club sings and dances, but Aldridge can only hide in his heart about the future construction and the current situation. For example, he is already thinking about the future replacements of Trezeguet and Shevchenko.


    Trezeguet was full of ambitions. When he renewed the contract in the summer, he was hesitant. The same was true for Shevchenko. When Aldridge introduced him, Shevchenko expressed at the time that the league he wanted to land was Serie A. .


    In this era, the best players gather in Italy, and the appeal of Serie A is difficult to shake in a short time. This has nothing to do with Millwall''s strength, but the league influence.


    In comparison, Larson happily signed his name on the five-year long contract. The 26-year-old Swede is not without dreams, but he is more mature. He understands the strength of the team better than the fledgling newcomer. His goal rate was only average when he was in the Netherlands, but when he came to Millwall, he scored a huge leap in goal efficiency and started the peak of his career this season. He clearly placed himself in an excellent and suitable for himself The team is far more advantageous than rushing into the giants.


    Stam moved to leave, Millwall earned 15 million pounds, the other players who are sure to leave in the summer are two, also two forward players, Phillips and Tony.


    In the transfer of Phillips, Aldridge reached an agreement with Peter Reed by phone on the evening of the 17th FA Cup championship.


    Although Sunderland was relegated, Reid''s coaching position is still solid, so he has plenty of room to rebuild the team.


    The teams interested in Phillips are not only Sunderland, there are many bids higher than Sunderland.


    However, Aldridge finally persuaded Phillips to join Sunderland.


    And explained the reason to him, Sunderland will use him as the core of tactics to build the team, his position is guaranteed, secondly, it is no problem to play the Premier League with his strength, but because Millwall is not the main force, this season He also played less games. Sunderland will give him time to join the team first, and other Premier League teams may not have the same patience. Don¡¯t look at their bids higher than Sunderland, but the degree of importance is very different. .


    In the end, Phillips joined Sunderland for ¡ê3 million.


    Tony is the Leicester City team on loan to Martin O''Neill. The deal was announced early, allowing Tony to report to Leicester City in the summer.


    At this point, Martin O''Neill appreciates Audridge, or does not make a deal, since it is done, it will be happy.


    The head coaches most dislike the procrastinating trade in the summer, which not only affects preparations, but also makes people feel upset: do players come or not!


    At the end of May, Aldridge listened to the management''s financial report last season in the club.


    Millwall''s income from the Triple Crown was greatly increased last season, but because of the small stadium, the ticket income is a weakness. Fortunately, the broadcast income and bonuses have made their financial situation much better than last summer. Tam and Phillips earned 18 million pounds, directly making them more than 50 million pounds in the season.


    But compared with the same period last year, Manchester United''s operating income last season was the best in the world, with nearly 60 million pounds in operating income.


    This is not to calculate the revenue and expenditure of the transfer market.


    Simply talking about management, even if Millwall won the Triple Crown, Manchester United have no income, but the income is not even half of Manchester United!


    Millwall''s income will be more in the new season, because they ensure the qualification of the Champions League, and the Premier League will have a new broadcast contract to take effect.


    The last rebroadcast contract was 191 million pounds in five years.


    The new contract started in the summer of 1997 was ¡ê670 million in four years.


    On average, each club has more than 8 million pounds of revenue per season, and Millwall can obtain a share of broadcasts second only to Manchester United due to record and team influence and live broadcasts. Manchester United has a higher income than Millwall. It is Manchester United''s more fans, and its influence is even better. In the other two, the record and live broadcasts, Millwall did not fall.


    In Aldrich''s view, the financially toughest time for the team has passed. Next, besides not being able to introduce a large number of stars in the transfer market, it is no problem to live a stable life.


    There are many reasons why he can¡¯t bring in stars. The transfer fee is only one aspect, and the salary is also one of the costs. For example, if you buy a first-class star, the transfer fee may be between 5 million and 10 million pounds. This is a one-time payment. , But what about wages? According to the highest weekly salary of 25,000 pounds in the Millwall team, only three players can get this salary, then the introduced star is ranked second, with a weekly salary of 20,000 pounds. If you sign a contract for five years, during these five years, Just pay a salary of more than 5 million, including bonus, maybe more than 6.5 million.


    Aldrich believes that instead of spending more than 10 million pounds on top stars, and there is no guarantee that the stars will be able to play for the team, he would rather invest the money in youth training and spend on the cost of training stars.


    This summer, the club''s transfer budget is 15 million pounds, Aldridge intends to use it all in youth training, and his European network talent journey has also begun.

 Chapter 228： Two geniuses with very different fate

    The team is on holiday, but the coaching staff is still busy.


    Aldridge discussed with Benitez and Jenson in the club to discuss the club''s lineup options.


    In the coming year, they will compete in the European Champions Cup. The game density is stronger than in the past few years. In addition, many young players in the team have entered the national team''s field of vision. Even if they are not the first team, the recruitment of the lower echelon will allow the players to travel back and forth.


    After losing two central defenders and two forwards, Millwall urgently needs to strengthen the lineup.


    There are four players on the central defender. If there are no injuries, there should be no problem in dealing with the fourth line. There are six players on the midfield line. The selection of offense and defense is also very balanced. Audric''s biggest headache is the striker.


    In addition to the three main players, only Glenshare and Fanny are left as substitutes.


    Fanny is a center backup, and Glenn Galle can only play left and right wingers. Odrich needs more forwards to supplement the striker.


    In the new season, Fanny will have more chances to play. Because of his own characteristics, Audridge will not give him more than 20 opportunities in the new season. Because Glenchard eats with explosive power and speed. This kind of player, It takes longer to recover a body after playing a game with all one''s strength, and can''t fight continuously. Either the body can''t eat or the performance will be greatly reduced.


    Moreover, Glennshire is just 20 years old, and the technical training is about to be finalized. When the future focus is on strengthening his body, Aldridge does not want too many games to overwhelm his body, just like he used Pirlo, although Pirlo He is the main player, but his appearances are not particularly high. Last season, he only played 26 games.


    However, due to the different characteristics and positions of players, Pirlo will gradually increase his playing time in the future, but Glenchard will not.


    Striker, Millwall needs a striker, and is willing to play off the bench.


    Benitez offers some domestic options, such as some team abandoners, and some rookies, such as Bellamy and Robbie Keane in the lower league.


    A veteran that other teams don''t want, Aldridge is not interested in bringing in, and feels not cost-effective. Every penny he invests in the transfer market will be carefully calculated.


    Bellamy was directly denied by Aldridge. It was not whether he was confident that he could control the sting of a team like Bellamy, but he felt that there was absolutely no need to buy a time bomb and test whether he could disarm the explosive device. .


    Robbie Keane''s situation is more complicated. The opponent rejected Liverpool''s invitation at the same time, and Liverpool was the team he dreamed of joining in his childhood, but Robbie Keane wanted to play the main role. Under the same conditions, Millwall Even if the salary is higher, the other party is not at all interested.


    Aldridge doesn''t feel any pity, where is there no new star in the world?


    At the beginning of June, Aldridge paid the first transfer fee before leaving London.


    One million pounds for Blackburn 18-year-old Damien Duff.


    Duff, who played for Blackburn at the age of 16, has played no more than 15 times in the past two seasons. At the critical age of 18, the next development is related to the trend of his career.


    Blackburn''s performance has been declining after winning the Premier League title two years ago. It ranked eighth in the league in 1996 and ranked fourteenth in the league last season. The final points ranking is only 2 points higher than the relegation line.


    That mercenary army had also fallen apart. After Hiller left, Blackburn was completely marginalized in the Premier League battlefield.


    In this context, Millwall suddenly emerged, and Audridge was famous, and he trained a group of talented stars under his hands. The youth storm set off focused on Europe.


    Unlike Robbie Keane, who is 17 years old, wants to be the absolute main force. Most players under the age of 20 still have self-knowledge, especially Millwall, a team with three crowns, will invite you to carefully consider it.


    Playing under different coaches, the effect is naturally different, the club''s ability to train players is an important factor to attract players.


    Millwall has been selling people for the past two years, and the people who sold them have performed well and value for money, which has given them the nickname "Ajax of England".


    This is an acclaim in the current era.


    Because looking at Europe, the players produced by Ajax are hard currency at this time, the quality is guaranteed, don''t worry about depreciation, and even most of them will appreciate significantly after landing in the mainstream league.


    A player like Vieira, who was considered to be less than half the price of Pires in the transaction last year, a year later, the British media thought Vieira was a new Roy Keane, and Arsenal made a big profit!


    Therefore, Millwall''s gold signboard has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is normal for major clubs to dig corners, and their excellent hematopoietic ability also reflects their ability to train players.


    Last season, there was zero investment in the transfer market and the two main players were released. The two main players were substituted and won the triple crown. This is the best proof.


    Duff hesitated on the new contract drawn by Blackburn. Blackburn fell into a passive situation, and finally reached an agreement with Millwall. The transfer fee was 2 million pounds. Duff became the summer transfer window. The first player to join Millwall.


    After Aldridge finalized the transfer, he gave Adam a list of domestic players and asked him to personally find these players to join. This list is all English players, and basically all ages Under the age of 18, it is not Aldridge''s first team choice, it is to supplement youth training. If some players hesitate, Aldridge will personally persuade the other party to join, but he is pressed for time. In order to supplement the striker, he must leave first. London.


    In late May, Andrew and Aldridge got on a plane to the Netherlands.


    The two sat in the first-class cabin, and Andrew was obviously sleep deprived. After getting on the plane, he sighed with Aldridge.


    "There are too many things. The player''s business activities are arranged to make me fall apart."


    Aldridge flipped through the magazine and said casually: "Will you not set up a team specifically for players?"


    "Yeah, that''s how I did it, otherwise, how can I have time now?"


    Andrew''s brokerage company is also on the right track. Now he has become the most famous agent in the UK. He has the most players, covering the Premier League and the Premier League. In this regard, he has no interest in going with When the players of the second team deal with each other, the costs and benefits are not proportional.


    Other clubs in mainstream leagues inevitably have to deal with Andrew because they want to buy players from Millwall, which has caused his network in Europe to expand rapidly.


    At the same time, in the South American region, the company he established there also signed in many new players, and they are also the stars of the future. Although limited by the labor certification system, Aldridge¡¯s enthusiasm for non-European players is gradually decreasing. Because he doesn¡¯t want to always talk to the FA in terms of player transfers, but other mainstream leagues are the normal choice for South American stars to land in Europe, so Andrew, through the network of relationships in South America, can also improve his overall European Influence.


    Aldrich does not object to the commercial activities of the players in the summer, and there are many players from different countries on the team. If the nationality of each player is lit on the European map, then Millwall¡¯s players are almost half of Europe. Maps, although such a European wing has made Fleet Street slamming Millwall out of England, it has gradually increased Millwall¡¯s influence in Europe and enhanced its international influence. Those who are well-known players will also have a reputation. Part of it was transferred to Millwall, which brought attention and fame to the team.


    He was still thinking about the striker signing at this time. Andrew is here, and he suddenly thought of a forgotten player.


    "Hey, where did that genius from Liverpool go?"


    Aldridge put down the magazine and turned to ask.


    Andrew frowned and asked, "The media has used the word genius badly. Who are you talking about?"


    "Uh, I think about it, Dai, David, Lamore, um, it should be the name, the striker that Liverpool started in last year''s Youth FA Cup final. This year, Irving on the youth bench has been on the first team. Starter, but I didn¡¯t see Ramall¡¯s name in the Liverpool first team. Where did this prodigy go?¡±


    Aldridge had forgotten this player. Even Owen, Gerrard, Carragher, etc., usually did not see them appearing in the Liverpool first team when studying their opponents. Aldridge could hardly remember them, but Today, because I had been thinking of the young striker in my head, I couldn''t help thinking of Owen, and then I thought of David Ramall who squeezed Owen on the bench in the youth team last year.


    At that time, the kid had his first record in the game. The performance of the whole game was impressive. The most important thing is that in Aldrich¡¯s first impression, Ramor¡¯s style of play was very consistent with Millwall, and he was tossing back and forth on the front line. The reading ability of the game is excellent, instead of occupying the position and waiting for the pass of his teammates. Therefore, at that time, he would let Andrew follow up with Lamor''s contract status. He did not remember that Liverpool had such a famous character.


    Andrew shook his head and sighed, "You still forget him."


    "Hey, shouldn''t you forget?"


    Andrew said helplessly: "Alas, he was seriously injured in training last summer. After he was injured, the club loaned him to Doncaster. As a result, he behaved in a mess there and returned to Liverpool six months ago. Then, at the age of 16, he signed a contract with Liverpool for four years. The contract will expire this summer. Liverpool does not intend to renew his contract. The two negotiated to cancel the contract. Lamore should now be a free agent, not only the Premier League team. Even the League One team was not interested in introducing him. A month ago, I talked about this with my colleagues. Everyone was sighing. You know, just a year ago, everyone was still fighting for his agent. What."


    Aldridge was lost in thought.


    Last year, Lamor was almost 19 years old when he was in the Youth FA Cup match, because as long as he is 18 years old before the start of the new season, he can participate in the Youth FA Cup. At this time this year, he is still three months away. It''s 20 years old.


    The injury has a double impact on the player''s technical ability and body, but at the age of Ramall, both technical and physical, can still be cultivated. Liverpool gave up this player early. Why?


    "It''s still your eyesight. Who would have thought that Irving, who played as a substitute on the youth team, would be promoted to the first team and scored in his first show, and set the record for the youngest goal in the Premier League. Fate, **** fucking. "


    Andrew is still sighing, and Aldridge is also sighing.


    Professional football is sometimes so cruel. For players, the crucial hurdle is that if you don¡¯t step forward, then your destiny will turn upside down.


    "Do you still want to find him?"


    Aldridge frowned and hesitated. Liverpool are not fools. They gave up the young players they focused on, and they must have been thoughtful.


    But when I thought about it, it seemed familiar to the giants to let go of their genius.


    "If you can still find him, let him come to Millwall to try it out. It''s always correct to look at it. Even if he really turns from a prodigy into a mortal, I want to see for myself what he has become. "


    "Okay, after I got off the plane, I called back to the company to find someone to arrange. By the way, let''s go to Amsterdam. Is the destination Ajax?"


    Aldridge picked up the magazine again and said lightly: "Well."


    "Oh, who will Millwall pay for?"


    "No one buys, grab a flying man."

 Chapter 229： Drilling holes to dig wall feet

    In two years, Ajax, who climbed to the top of Europe in 1995, has no face.


    At that time, the main lineup of the team that swept Europe was mostly gone. This summer, Cruyvert decided not to renew the contract, Peter Pan Ovimas went to doubt, Bogard and AC Milan Lang concubine, the most The key point is that the meritorious coach Van Gaal is also ecstatic, and his brows with Barcelona are no longer a secret.


    Over the past two decades, Ajax has delivered nearly 50 players to the top five European leagues, most of which are famous players. In the eyes of European first-line clubs, Ajax is not only a Dutch giant, but also a football Talent boutique store.


    In the last ten years of transfers, Ajax has earned more than 100 million US dollars. This number is for the moment. Other teams can hardly imagine.


    Ajax, Feyenoord, Eindhoven, these three Dutch giants propped up Dutch football, the strength of youth training is beyond words.


    Just like Real Madrid and Barcelona¡¯s contribution to La Liga, perhaps in the general public¡¯s consciousness, Barcelona¡¯s La Masia is a sign of youth training. Real Madrid is not known for youth training, but in fact, Real Madrid has not been able to learn from its own youth training. In addition to the first-team talents drawn from the system, Real Madrid¡¯s youth training has made a great contribution to the entire Spanish football, because players who have not made their first days in Real Madrid have gone to other teams. This season will send about 10 professional players to the two levels of clubs, and the accumulated number of them over the years is small, and there are not a few players in the La Liga who are from Real Madrid youth training.


    The three youth training models all have their own characteristics. Ajax cannot retain genius, plus the business philosophy of Jewish background, selling people to make money is their purpose. After all, the influence of the Dutch league has limitations with the status of football. , You can¡¯t keep it without selling it!


    Although Barcelona began to enter the construction of the Dutch gang this summer, in the long run, even if Van Gaal takes office, he will promote the future team core players like Harvey from the youth training. The youth team and the first team have consistent tactics. The concept makes the youth team seamlessly integrate with the first team, so that the first team can continuously obtain talents from the youth team.


    Real Madrid pursues the survival of the fittest. With the club¡¯s ¡°noble¡± background, the first team has too little patience for young players, and there are not many opportunities. Unless it is Raul, Casillas, such a blockbuster and quickly gain a foothold in the first team. Genius, otherwise even if the young players are excellent, the club does not have the patience to wait for you to mature and become the only one. However, the club¡¯s influence and status are detached by sending talent to the other La Liga clubs. This is also a big benefit.


    In Aldrich¡¯s team building philosophy, if Millwall is to be strong, he must integrate the youth training characteristics of these three clubs, learn from each other¡¯s strengths and weaknesses, copy the Barcelona¡¯s first-team youth team¡¯s consistent tactical training model, and learn Ajax¡¯s network talent training rookies. Policy, but also to allow the youth team to have a competitive environment like Real Madrid.


    A genius and a hundred mediocres are trained together. Most of them will be assimilated by mediocrity until the end.


    But if fifty geniuses and fifty mediocres are trained together, the effect is completely different. The competition among geniuses stimulates the aggressiveness of mediocre talents. This will accelerate the growth of players and stimulate their potential.


    Aldridge not only needs to strengthen the first team this summer, but also allows the youth team to have more potential new stars, so as to stimulate their faster growth.


    Because he discovered a very bad phenomenon.


    The four players Joe Cole, Ronaldinho, Ashley Cole and Villa were the most dazzling stars of hope for the Millwall youth team last season. At the age of 14-15, their performance in the youth team seems to be outstanding, but in the youth team last season, as they grew older, the gap between them and players of the same age was growing, forming a polarization .


    This freed them from the 11-member big group and became a small group. This does not mean that they are ganging up on the youth team, but it is the quality that is most intuitively displayed on the court, because other teammates cannot keep up with their speed. , Kick thinking, reaction ability.


    It¡¯s impossible for them to slow down their playing speed to wait for their teammates who are obviously a few beats slower, so they have only two options, Ronaldinho and Joe Cole, and Villa in the frontcourt. Cooperate, when there is no space to cooperate, it becomes very selfish and will not pass the ball to other teammates, because they think that the choice of passing is better than trying to break through or shoot. Anyway, the effect is definitely better than giving the ball to those abilities. Teammates with gaps are much stronger.


    For this reason, Najib found Aldridge and gave him advice: either, loan these four players to exercise, or transfer to the first team, train with the first team, and usually play in the reserve team.


    In short, you can no longer stay in the youth team, otherwise, they will only delay their growth.


    And the solution that Aldridge came up with was to find some matching teammates for them.


    However, he came to the Netherlands today, but he did not plan to dig Ajax players under the age of 16, although Ajax youth camp has many future high-profile stars, such as Van der Vaart.


    He came for Ajax''s next wingman: Andy van der Med.


    Now known as the Dutch Peter Pan Ovimas, Aldridge can''t afford it. It''s just that after purchasing Ovimas, Odrich can go on vacation and then wait for the team to return to the end of July for next season prepare for.


    Under Andrew''s arrangement, Aldridge saw Andy Van der Meade, who was about to turn 18, in a common hotel in Amsterdam.


    There is no language communication problem between the two, and almost everyone in the Netherlands speaks English.


    Andy van der Mede dressed neatly and deliberately cleaned up her hairstyle. The young and handsome guy was slightly nervous when he saw Audridge. Audridge could see that he was a little excited, which made Audridge feel fresh.


    Because when he introduced players before, regardless of the player''s age and reputation, when he first met with him, he was either skeptical or expressionless, and he didn''t seem to wait for the young coach from London.


    In the past three years, he led Millwall to the sky and Aldridge also has a handsome aura on his head, which makes him more sincere when he is recruiting players himself.


    "Hi Andy, can I call you like this? Okay, let''s sit down and talk."


    Aldrich generously invited Van der Mede to sit down on the sofa, and then opened the door to depict the blueprint he outlined for him.


    Come to Millwall, you are a member of the first team in the new season, start from the bench, join the team first, short one season, long two years, if everything goes well, he should be able to play the main position when he is 20 years old issue a challenge.


    As for how to train him, Aldridge did not elaborate. If the other party asks, he is willing to spend more time to explain to him.


    Van der Mede depressed the excitement in his heart, and his enthusiasm also cooled down a lot.


    He heard that Aldridge, the young master, wanted to see himself, and thought he was valued by the other party. He went directly to Millwall and played the main role.


    Now I understand that it is not the same thing at all.


    But at least, his potential was affirmed, which made him a little happier after calming down.


    Thinking of his treatment at the Ajax Club, Van der Mede asked, "Can you talk about my contract?"


    Aldridge smiled and knew that the other party agreed, so he said to Andrew: "You talk to him."


    As an agent, Andrew has done a few votes in the Netherlands. Stam, Larsen, Fanny and other players are transferred by him. In the Dutch football circle, he is also famous because he In these transfers, he played the role of matchmaking, and also won a good contract for the players. In addition, he is also the brother of Aldridge. The young players who want to play for Aldridge and dream of becoming famous naturally have him. Must understand.


    Van der Med was originally signing a professional contract with Ajax this summer, but Ajax is now worried about internal and external problems. The 95 golden generation is being poached every year. This summer, the club was caught in the turmoil of coach turnover. Van Gaal The departure will be announced in a few days, the club is trying to retain the first team of the main players, and at one and a half in the youth team players such as van der Meide can not be taken care of.


    Although the English club is difficult to sign the non-European Hope Star because of the labor certificate, but because it can sign professional contracts with 16-year-old players, it also benefits the English club in disguise. The Football Associations of Spain, Germany and other mainstream leagues stipulate that The contract must be after the player is 18 years old. It is such a shortfall that the English clubs have the convenience of digging corners, but too many clubs in this era have not realized that digging corners should be early, not only early, but also to dig the whole family!


    Van der Mede does not have an agent at this time, and Andrew won''t have much problem with him, because Andrew promised to help him get a contract with a salary of three thousand a week.


    This simply made Van der Mead feel incredible.


    Why can''t the Dutch League retain genius?


    In addition to the league''s influence, the most important reason is the cost of the club. Compared with the top giants, the salary for the players is not even comparable to the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, because the club basically makes money. Selling people and European wars, the Dutch leagues have long gone bankrupt because of the Dutch league¡¯s own money-making ability. Therefore, the wages they give to players are limited. Players from youth teams like Van der Meide can get a few weeks¡¯ salary. Even if a hundred pounds is very high, even ten years later, it is basically a few thousand pounds.


    The weekly salary of 3,000 pounds is definitely the lowest among the first-line salary of Millwall. Even the contract signed by Ronaldinho of the youth team at the age of 16 has a weekly salary of 5,000 pounds, but he After all, Aldridge is regarded as the absolute main player of the team in the future, giving some high to understand.


    After reaching an agreement with VanderMead, Audridge first bid farewell to him, Andrew also called back to the company and called an assistant to send someone to Amsterdam to accompany VanderMead from Ajax.


    An apprenticeship contract between him and Ajax expired in the summer. Ajax originally planned to sign a professional contract with him, but as long as VanderMead refuses, he can become a free agent and leave.


    Before the new FIFA transfer regulations came out this fall, Millwall could get a talented player like Van der Meide without spending a penny.


    After discussing the matter of joining Van der Med, Aldridge and Andrew rested in the hotel that night. The next morning, the two walked out of the hotel with their travel bags and sunglasses on.


    "Next stop, where to go?"


    Andrew Ang looked up to the sky, looked at the weather today, and asked casually.


    Aldrich opened the back door of the taxi and turned back: "PSV."

 Chapter 230： Marshal Halo Recruitment

    Although Eindhoven is the fourth largest city in the Netherlands, it is not a low-profile city in Europe because it is one of the high-tech clusters in Europe.


    In the early morning, the quiet city is like a pool of calm lake water, which brings people a peaceful spirit to enjoy before the turbulent ripples are raised.


    In an ordinary apartment, there are a few suitcases on the floor of the living room, and the 19-year-old blond guy is sitting on the sofa with a blank face. He glances at his feet from time to time, his eyes full of confusion and panic.


    He bent down, closed his eyes with his head in his hands, and clenched his teeth full of unwillingness.


    Three years ago, he came to the Netherlands and joined the Dutch giant Eindhoven.


    Two years ago, when he was only 17 years old, he made his debut in the UEFA Champions League. His opponent was Spain''s super giant, and Cruyff Barcelona!


    Today, two years later, he was abandoned by Eindhoven and terminated the contract!


    Everything originated from his injured ankle. Eindhoven''s team doctors were helpless. Eventually, he gave up the star of hope.


    àâàâàâ!


    The young man''s father stepped downstairs, holding the last suitcase.


    The father has not retired, is also a football player, and is one of the famous players in their country, but their country is not even second-rate in the European football map: Iceland.


    A country with a population of only about 200,000 today.


    The father saw his son holding his head in pain, he put down the suitcase and walked in front of his son, and suddenly found that his son''s tears dripped down the floor along his chin.


    "Edur, you need to be strong! You must be strong! When we go back to Iceland, you will make those who abandon you regret it! Don''t do that, you are a man..."


    The father hugged his son''s head to comfort him, but his eyes were wet.


    The torture of the injury caused the Icelandic boy to suffer, and the termination of the team was a heavy blow.


    He came to the Netherlands from Iceland and now has to go back. This will undoubtedly have a huge impact on his career. In particular, he is about 19 years old, which is the most critical stage of his career development.


    Have you finished your dream about football?


    Boom Boom Boom!


    The knock on the door rang.


    The father calmed down and went to open the door, and the young man hurriedly wiped away his tears.


    When the father opened the door, he saw two handsome young men standing outside the door.


    "Excuse me, is this the home of Good Johnson?"


    Aldridge saw the door opener as a man near middle age, and asked politely with a smile.


    "Will you be?"


    The father stared at Aldridge¡¯s face thoughtfully, before he waited for Aldridge¡¯s self-report, he was surprised: ¡°If I didn¡¯t admit the wrong person, you are the head coach of Millwall, Mr. Hall, yes ?"


    The European Cup Winners¡¯ Cup ended in the Netherlands half a month ago, and Millwall¡¯s championship effect has not yet dissipated.


    Aldridge was proud: hey, this is the benefit of the champion coach. Although not all the traffickers know him, at least in football, we are not unknown.


    He was proud in his heart, but his face was natural, and nodded: "Yes, I am Aldridge Hall, this is my brother Andrew Hall, may I ask you?"


    "My name is Noel Goodjohnson, what are you doing to me?"


    Old Goodjohnson thought that the other party was looking for himself, but Aldridge looked into the room and saw Edur Goodjohnson on the sofa looking at him, curious. .


    Aldridge is sure to find the right person.


    Because Good Johnson''s appearance is very obvious, especially even the eyebrows are light gold.


    Aldrich stretched his finger at Gudjohnsen Jr. and smiled: "Sorry, I came to him."


    Old Goodjohnson looked back and wondered, "Find my son? What''s the matter?"


    Andrew and Aldridge have been standing outside the door, still carrying a luggage bag, he had to interject: "Sir, can you please come in and sit down and talk?"


    Old Goodjohnson immediately reacted, and opened the door to open the door and invited them into the room.


    Aldrich shook hands with Goodyear Johnson Jr., and then sat down on the single sofa. Goodjohnson and his son sat side by side. Andrew stood beside Aldridge.


    "I''ll just say it. I heard that Edur is already a free agent. As the head coach of Millwall, I want to invite him to join my team, Edur. Are you interested in playing in London?"


    Aldrich came straight to the point. As soon as his voice fell, Goodjohnson and his sons had different expressions. His father''s brows were slightly hesitant, and his son''s eyes brightened but he became dull.


    For a time, the house fell silent.


    In the end, it was Gud Johnson who said arduously: "Mr. Hall, thank you for your appreciation. Millwall was able to send me an invitation. I am very happy, but I must tell you the real situation."


    Aldrich spread his hands and said: "Did you reach an agreement with other teams?"


    Gudjohnsen Jr. shook his head and said, "I was dismissed by PSV because my ankle was injured and I suffered repeated injuries, which made me unable to play, and even training was not guaranteed."


    Aldrich heard this and asked, "What about this?"


    His breath was relaxed, but Old Good Johnson was furious, and he said angrily: "Mr. Hall! You haven''t played, you don''t understand the injury to players!"


    Aldridge made a gesture of depression to signal that everyone should not be excited.


    He said calmly: ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a big problem. I¡¯ll treat it if I¡¯m sick. It¡¯s the same for everybody. If this hospital doesn¡¯t cure, go to the second one. Maybe you have heard that Millwall is just an English club. , A team that won the Triple Crown last year, but you don¡¯t know us, I can say without a word: Millwall has the best medical institution in the world¡¯s sports clubs, our medical team ensures the health of players, We have a cooperative relationship with many top medical institutions in Europe and the United States. We are open and cautious in dealing with player injuries. We will not try to hide the player''s condition, nor will we let unprofessionals act as team doctors. In case of illness, we will seek the help of more professionals. I have confidence in Eidur and even more in the medical team of my own team. If you suspect that I am talking big, then we can sign the contract first so that I If you repent, you have to pay a liquidated damages."


    Goodjohnson and his son were speechless. They looked at each other, and somehow, the young master who was full of confidence from head to toe in front of him, had a convincing magic from what he said in his mouth.


    Millwall has not only won five championship trophies in the past two years, but is also known as the youth army in Europe. Many European teams have the reputation of the youth army, but it is another matter to make the youth army famous.


    Aldrich did it, Millwall became one of the good choices for young players to stand out.


    Gudjohnsen Jr. didn''t think about how long he stood up and said to Aldridge: "Mr. Hall, I accept your invitation."


    Aldridge stood up and shook hands with him, smiling: "Call me my boss later."


    "Okay, okay, head, head..."


    Goodgood Johnson was a little bit uncomfortable, because it seemed that Aldridge was almost the same age as him, and even because of Aldridge''s handsome and clean face, Aldridge looked younger than him.


    Next, Brothers Hall and Gudjohnsen enjoyed a pleasant lunch in Eindhoven. The haze of the father and son disappeared, at least without returning to Iceland to seek a comeback.


    And the departure of Goodyear Johnson from Eindhoven to join Premier League upstart Millwall is also a big step forward in his career, but his future development trajectory will require his own efforts.


    Because Good Johnson was tortured in the second half of last season, he didn¡¯t play, and his training was not systematic, so he didn¡¯t need to take a vacation. He flew to London in the afternoon, and Aldridge hit the club. Greet, order someone to go to the airport to greet the father and son. Next, Goodjohnson will directly undergo medical examination. If he can heal the ankle injury in a short period of time, then he can directly receive light training in the team, Jane Sen stayed at the club this summer, waiting to receive many new players.


    Aldrich''s trip to the Netherlands comes to an end. The addition of two players, Van der Mead and Good Johnson, can add to the striker. Plus the previously finalized Duff and Ronaldinho will enter the first team next season. Aldrich has two backup forwards. After leaving the team, at least the number of strikers has been supplemented, but the newcomers will need some time to adapt. They are not the main force. As long as there is no large-scale injury at the front of the new season, Millwall''s front lineup is basically not a big problem.


    But Aldridge was not satisfied yet, and his next stop was Germany.


    Millwall has Trezeguet and Fanny in the center position, but neither of them is the most perfect center candidate in Aldridge''s tactics, because neither of them is particularly capable of playing for their partners.


    The most perfect center in his mind that fits Millwall''s tactical system is his main goal in Germany!


    Kaiserslautern, Germany.


    The year before last, the city was immersed in grief and Kaiserslautern was relegated. This year, the city is rejuvenated because Kaiserslautern is successfully upgraded and is full of hope for next season.


    Next season is destined to be the greatest historical moment of Kaiserslautern, they staged the myth of the newly promoted champion.


    However, Aldridge''s trip to Kaiserslautern is not interested in the most famous team here.


    He and Andrew came to the amateur football club near Kaiserslautern on the 1st of June: Didelkopf.


    Amateur clubs naturally have little financial resources. Team training and competitions are held in places similar to public stadiums.


    The office location of the club is an ordinary small building that nobody cares about.


    Aldridge was treated as a guest when he came here, because he made a ¡ê100,000 offer on behalf of Millwall for the opponent''s players.


    100,000 pounds is almost unimaginable for amateur clubs. At their level, buying and selling people in the transfer market is a few thousand pounds, and about 10,000 or 20,000 pounds is almost the same.


    100,000 pounds is an astronomical figure in their eyes!


    The club manager received Aldridge and directly agreed to the transfer quotation. They had no room for bargaining. If the lion opened his mouth with the mentality of sitting on the floor, Aldridge left his sleeve and they could not cry.


    Aldridge waited patiently in the small reception room. After a while, the club manager walked into the reception room with a player.


    Looking at the thin, tall and handsome young man, Aldridge stood up and took the initiative to reach out and smile: "Hello, Miroslav Klose."

 Chapter 231： Let him go to Millwall!

    Dider Kopf received an offer of ¡ê100,000, which caused the amateur club to shake up and down. A small number of administrative staff were gathered on the club¡¯s small floors. Some people wondered where the rich man spent such a large price. Buy players, want to see the true content.


    In the reception room, Aldridge and Klose have a separate meeting. Unlike other players in first-line clubs, most of them will have "snobbish" problems. Hearing the rich to dig themselves, they are naturally overjoyed and have a very correct attitude. There are even some flattery and hate to post, if the grassroots team invites themselves, then the attitude is a little lukewarm, it seems a bit like to play big names.


    Klose was in an amateur club. A week later, he was 19 years old. He was a bit of a rash and ignorant posture.


    The two had a great conversation in the reception room, and they started talking about football.


    Klose asked Aldridge many questions, including the Millwall Club, Aldridge''s experience in the past three years.


    Then he talked about Klose himself.


    In this amateur club, Klose obviously has no chance to see the big scene, and training is not systematic on weekdays. The training mechanism is impossible to talk about. The players are all amateurs. It is conceivable that the coaching level is difficult to climb. Ya Zhi Tang.


    Aldridge changed magic to use six or seven tea cups to show Klose the offensive tactics on the table. Klose''s eyes widened and his mouth never closed.


    One, two, three, four. It seems that Aldridge can use teacups to perform countless kinds of offensive routines. This is not only about hands-on, but also mouths, explaining the essence of each set of tactical changes. The role of players.


    Klose opened his eyes today, and it only took less than an hour for Aldrich to convince the German-Polish young man.


    The two then turned the subject to life. Klose asked about the living environment on the other side of London, the team situation, and Aldridge answered him one by one.


    Millwall is an international team with obvious German blood.


    Goalkeeper Bout, right-back Schneider, plus midfielder Barack.


    None of them are German players who are "famous", but when they came to Millwall, they quickly became a first-line star. If it was not the German national team''s sluggishness and the relationship between seniors, these three people definitely have the strength to enter the national team. It''s not the main position, but the bench is certainly no problem.


    Klose joined Millwall, at least not alone, wandering in a foreign country, the first team with "sib brother" will help him integrate into the team.


    Chatting with Klose, time passed unconsciously, and in the evening, the two came out of the waiting room.


    As soon as he came out, Aldridge was startled, and a lot of people stood in the corridor, because the aisle was narrow, it seemed crowded.


    There were five people in the management team of Didelkopf standing in a row next to the wall. Andrew stood opposite them, with a middle-aged couple standing between them.


    Klose¡¯s parents arrived at the news. This was an important moment concerning their son¡¯s future!


    Klose''s father used to play in France, so he was very cautious about the transfer.


    And his mother was worried, and looked at Klose''s eyes clearly filled with reluctance, probably not wanting his son to go abroad to play football.


    After all, a 19-year-old football player is still playing in an amateur club, which really makes people unable to have high expectations for his future.


    The management of Didelkopf Club has added Andrew, who has been persuading the couple just now to support Klose''s transfer to Millwall.


    Andrew is helping his brothers, for granted.


    The management of Diderkopf did not want big deals, and if Klose refused to transfer, they would only watch 100,000 pounds fly away.


    Aldridge smiled and shook hands with Klose''s parents. After introducing himself, he briefly explained the benefits of transferring to Klose.


    "Millwall is a young team. We will give young people more opportunities. Now the team''s main striker Trezeguet, he is only 9 months older than Miroslav, but he is only in Millwall. It took three years to quickly grow up and become a well-known star. I firmly believe that Miroslav came to Millwall and can also become a top striker."


    Aldrich had just finished saying this. Didelkopf''s management five-member group nodded in unison, with a very serious expression.


    Yeah, yeah, go to Millwall, Klose will be a top striker there, you parents, you can''t delay your child''s future!


    "We have a mature youth training system that will maximize the potential of Miroslav and help him overcome all the difficulties encountered in his growth. We have a top medical team, which also includes psychologists, nutritionists, etc., We will give Miroslav the best care."


    Klose''s parents looked at each other, his expression calmed down, and he listened intently to Aldridge''s explanation.


    The group of five people next to them nodded and supported Aldridge''s remarks.


    Yes, they are the Premier League championship team, the club is not comparable to our amateur club from top to bottom, your children went there, stepping on the best turf, using the best fitness equipment, and the most professional The coach training, I rely on, nutritionist, psychologist, listen, if you do not let Klose go, this is your loss!


    "Miroslav will be 19 years old next week. I think he should try to make a move. This experience, whether playing football or not, is helpful to his life and is a very valuable experience. In Mill. Wall, we have many players of the same age who are very independent. Miroslav can meet many friends of the same age. They come from all over the world. This also helps Miroslav to expand his horizons and understand the culture of different regions. Please let him Come to Millwall, if I can''t take him to London, it will be a pity in my life."


    Didelkopf''s management quintet nodded again.


    Go, let him go!


    Milvoldo is good, is located in an international metropolis, enjoy the "beauty" of the Thames every day, listen to the Big Ben to tell you the time, ran to Downing Street to peek at the country¡¯s politicians when bored, even if you don¡¯t want to commit suicide, then you can He rushed into the "Blood Tower" and jumped from above, dying in dark beauty!


    Didelkopf¡¯s management quintet stared at Klose¡¯s parents in full.


    Let him go!


    Otherwise, we will not receive any money!


    The couple was moved by Aldrich''s sincerity.


    Klose''s father, Joseph, was better able to understand what Aldridge meant.


    Players not only rely on their own efforts and talents, but also need a suitable environment and correct guidance.


    Klose, who was playing on the amateur team, was 19 years old and had not been watched by professional teams. This made Joseph¡¯s heart become heavy every day, but today, the young coach from England can personally negotiate to transfer Meeting and sincerely persuading them shows that the other party is optimistic about Klose''s prospects.


    According to the identity of the opponent''s champion coach, the transfer of 100,000 pounds can not be committed in person.


    But he came, this is sincerity and attention.


    Through brief contact, Aldrich knew that Klose was a man who valued his family very much. Therefore, he would sincerely communicate with each other¡¯s parents and try to convince each other.


    Prior to this, Aldrich did not know Klose''s parents, but today, to his surprise, Klose''s father used to play in Auxerre, France.


    "Auxerre, so, did you play under Mr. Guy Lu?"


    Joseph nodded: "Yes, listen to your tone, do you know him too?"


    Aldridge nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, although we have only known each other for a year, we have maintained communication. Last summer we watched the European Cup together. A few months ago, I took the team to France to play by phone Well, he is a good man and a great head coach."


    Joseph looked at Aldridge and then said: "I want to ask for his advice, is that okay?"


    Aldridge nodded with a smile.


    This kind of thing can''t be more normal. A father with a player background consults the old boss and gets some suggestions. This is a father''s cautious approach to the child''s future.


    After he went to make a phone call aside, he seemed to have changed himself, walked back refreshed, and said to Aldridge: "He asked me to say hello to you on his behalf."


    After talking, he looked at his son and asked, "Do you want to go to London?"


    Klose stared at his parents for a moment, and finally nodded, "Think."


    Joseph reached out to Aldridge and said, "Please strictly demand my child."


    Aldridge took his hand and smiled, "I will!"


    After the two shook hands, Aldridge stepped forward and asked softly, "Can you tell me what Guy Lu said to you?"


    Joseph haha ??smiled and said: "He told me that you must not think you are unreliable because you are young. Among all the coaches he knows, there are two best people to train young people. You are one of them."


    Aldridge chuckled and turned to shake hands with Dider Kopf management.


    When the five people looked up at Amnesty and saw the posture to know that the business was completed, they almost beat the gong and drum to celebrate.


    One hundred thousand pounds, one hundred thousand pounds, which is more than their annual income.


    Such a good thing, second only to their ability to win Bayern''s grand prize at home in the domestic cup!


    Accompanied by the club''s management, the Hall brothers spent a pleasant two days in Kaiserslautern.


    After finalizing Klose''s transfer, Aldridge added four players to the striker, and Klose will not enter the first team in the new season, unless the team''s two centers are injured, Odridge needs to give Klose has more patience and time to re-cultivate him from all aspects.


    Andrew had to say goodbye to Audridge.


    He is going to Spain to personally participate in a transfer.


    Barcelona¡¯s summer coaching change, while Ronaldo¡¯s departure and stay are also on the table, starting in April, to the club chairman Nunes, down to Ronaldo himself and his agent, the information revealed in the media before the speech, The same expression is expressed: Barcelona has no intention to renew Ronaldo''s salary and renew his contract. Ronaldo is not a non-sale product, and whoever has the money will take it away!


    Major clubs quietly kicked off the battle for aliens, and Barcelona has already started looking for Ronaldo''s substitute in order to prepare in advance.


    Andrew, who is Rivaldo''s agent, inevitably entered the vortex of this chain reaction.


    Nunez invited Andrew to meet secretly in Barcelona.


    Aldridge initially thought that Barcelona wanted to dig Millwall players, but after thinking about it, he dispelled the idea.


    Because the renewal of Millwall''s main players has all been published on the club''s official website, the media also got the news for the first time, and other clubs who want to dig the wall suddenly collapsed.


    The news that Andrew got was that the middleman on the other side of Spain made the match, so he immediately realized what the people over there wanted to talk to him.


    Rivaldo landed in La Liga in the first year of success, although not as good as Ronaldo scored 34 league goals in Barcelona, ??but Rivaldo scored 21 league goals in A Coru?a, the strength was confirmed.


    Andrew has a lot of stars under his hands now. He doesn''t think he''s exhausted, but he starts to enjoy the job.


    And Aldridge began to travel alone, the first team lineup in the new season is basically no problem, then he should prepare for the youth team and the future of the team.

 Chapter 232： Commitment between men

    Aldrich, who has been traveling around Europe since childhood, is used to loneliness, but after "walking thousands of miles", he grew up to be 21 years old, but encountered the first time in his life.


    robbery!


    Rome, Italy.


    Summer has arrived, but Aldridge is still dressed in a suit and leather shoes, carrying a small and large travel bag on the streets of Rome, and occasionally looking down at the address on the note in his hand.


    The weather was slightly hot. He stood on the corner of the street, put down his travel bag, took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped the sweat on his forehead. Some regretted not having taken a taxi, because he came to Italy by train. Walk for a while to exercise.


    Ideas are always good, but he ignored the hot weather.


    Just when he was hesitant to have a taxi less than two kilometers away, on this street with few pedestrians, someone suddenly rushed over behind him, swiftly passing him while passing him. Take away his travel bag.


    Aldridge''s head was suddenly stunned, and then he went conditionedly.


    The kid who grabs his bag looks young and not fast, Aldridge is full of confidence: our physical fitness has nothing to say, 100 meters burst your three streets! Running a marathon can exhaust your nine lives!


    But as soon as his head was hot, the handsome man rushed into the backstreet with the robber boy. The road was narrow and no one was there. Aldrich just rushed in and ran less than ten meters. The boy in front stopped. And, turning around, Aldridge felt uncomfortable and hurriedly turned and ran out. As a result, the sight he saw made him helplessly give up resistance.


    As expected, they were teamed up to rob him.


    One after another, two people sandwiched him, and a knife appeared in his hand.


    Grass!


    He had forgotten that although this is not Sicily, the street crime rate has always been staggering.


    Surrender.


    Aldrich''s calves were a little soft. I was really afraid that the stunned robber would stab the knife, so I would simply do it myself and directly surrender my hands with high hands.


    The two young robbers held the knife in one hand and asked Aldridge to take out his wallet and take off his watch. He didn''t even ask him for a mobile phone. He probably didn''t see it or planned to grab it. After all, this gadget is quick to change, popularizes quickly, and the street goods are cheap.


    "Brother Mafia, give me a little face, you take the money, leave me your ID and wallet, how?"


    Aldridge finished speaking in English, and found that the two boys seemed to not understand, and hurried to say it again in Italian, but before he finished, the two boys took his wallet, put on his watch, and carried He ran away after pulling his leg in his travel bag.


    "Asshole!"


    Aldrich chased two steps symbolically, and then walked out of the street dejectedly. He sat alone on the side of the road with a bit of misfortune, stroking his head with one hand and thinking about what to do next.


    Call the police?


    is that useful?


    Now that I have no money, I still take out my phone for help.


    He took out his phone and thought about who to call, family? It must have been turned upside down, making it impossible for all family members to rush to Rome to "consolate" him.


    You can''t make things bigger.


    Find a friend for help.


    When he was about to dial Brady''s phone, he noticed that there was one more person beside him. He turned his head and looked at him, just opposite his eyes. Their expressions were slightly surprised.


    "Mr. Hall?"


    "De Rossi! I''m so bitter looking for you!"


    Aldridge wanted to cry without tears.


    The teenager with a surprised look standing beside him was exactly what he was looking for in this trip to Rome: Daniele De Rossi.


    Two years ago, the two had a relationship. Originally, De Rossi''s father and son did not take Aldridge seriously, and felt that this young man was crazy.


    Unexpectedly, in two years, Millwall won not only the championship in the Premier League, but also a blockbuster in Europe.


    The most important thing is that under the leadership of Aldrich, Zambrotta, Materazzi, Pirlo and Gattuso all four Italian players have grown up. Tony is not yet successful, but the introduction of five Italian players can Playing four, this is already an incredible thing, while reflecting the ability of Aldridge.


    As a result, De Rossi''s father and son began to pay attention to Aldridge, especially De Rossi, who was fascinated by Millwall''s football.


    Aldridge couldn''t help crying. He was originally looking for De Rossi, but he was robbed on the way. After being robbed, De Rossi appeared in front of him as if he had fallen from the sky.


    What magic is this?


    "Uh, why are you here?"


    Aldridge asked the ghostly messenger, seeming unbelievable.


    De Rossi pointed to the distance and said, "My home is over there. I walk on the way home. I will appear here almost every day."


    Aldridge blinked and sighed.


    "what happened to you?"


    Aldridge sat down a bit shamefully and said embarrassedly: "I was robbed."


    De Rossi sat down next to him and shrugged: "It''s normal. If you have a few companions, the chance of being robbed in a place with few people will not be too high. Do you need my help?"


    "What can you do for me? Call the police? Forget it, I don''t want to go to the police station, it''s just a walk through."


    De Rossion looked up to the sky and said leisurely: "What have you been robbed?"


    "Travel bags and wallets, and watches. Money doesn''t matter. I just want the ID and the credit card in the wallet. By the way, I almost forgot. After waiting for me, I will call to freeze my card."


    Aldridge immediately called the bank and frozen several cards in his wallet.


    "If you only want a certificate, the problem is not big. If it is something of no value, it depends on luck to come back."


    "Why is it luck?"


    "It may have been thrown away because it is not valuable."


    "Do you know the robber here?"


    "Well, so to speak, borrow your phone and use it."


    Aldrich obediently handed the phone to De Rossi. After dialing the phone, the other person spoke for a long time, and finally returned the phone to Aldridge. He said, "Now, wait."


    Aldridge looked away, and finally returned to De Rossi. After a moment of observation, he smiled and said: "In the past two years, you have grown up a lot, hehe, you have become a talented person. Unlike when you met the previous year, it was obviously still Children."


    De Rossi also stared at Aldridge and asked: "Mr. Hall, I am curious. Why did you want me to join your team when I was a child in your mouth? Your team obviously needs it. It''s a player of the year."


    Aldridge sighed: "But I can''t afford the star, I can only train the star myself, maybe you don''t believe that when you were a kid, a video of you playing in the Rome community team was already placed in me It¡¯s on my desk. I have an agent¡¯s brother, and you¡¯ve seen it, the man who came here with me the year before last, he searched for geniuses around the world, and you are one of the people he discovered, I think you have talent , Optimistic about your future, so I want to take you to London, and become a leader of Millwall when you grow up."


    De Rossi''s eyes widened unbelievably: "Do you want me to be the captain?"


    Aldridge waved his hand and said: "This is not necessarily because the captain is not judged in terms of strength in a certain sense. It must have many qualities, such as team influence, unity, appeal, fighting spirit, and style. Yes, strength is not the standard. What I mean by a leader is to say, er, according to your age, after about seven or eight years, you become a benchmark for players of the same age. Others aim to surpass you in order to be able to It¡¯s roughly what you mean to be proud of your strength, but it also has a certain leadership role."


    De Rossito asked with his chin: "You just like me that way?"


    "Don''t you have the confidence to be a great player yourself?"


    "Oh, I dream about it, but someone tells me this way, which makes me feel new. Mr. Hall, I think you are amazing."


    Aldrich used to be praised by others, but being praised in person by young De Rossi made him feel awkward.


    He laughed twice and asked, "Why do you say that? The Italian media still mocked me two years ago."


    De Rossi said lightly: "Two years, two years, you won the trophy won by Millwall, half of the total number of trophies in Rome''s 70-year history."


    Aldridge scratched his head, a little embarrassed.


    With 70 years of history in Rome today, there are only two league champions, seven domestic cup champions, plus an Expo Cup champion, the predecessor of the UEFA Cup.


    Although Aldrich''s five championship trophies, the League Cup appears insignificant, but the FA Cup and the Premier League and the European Cup Winners'' Cup for two consecutive years are all rich in gold.


    "Alas, this is nothing. The media outside the UK say that England is less competitive. Like Millwall won the championship, it just shows the decline of the traditional giants of England, not how strong we are."


    "Really? Manchester United reached the Champions League semi-finals last season. Millwall''s European Winners Cup semi-finals eliminated the European quarter-final regular Paris Saint-Germain and beat Barcelona in the final. I have watched these few games. Millwall is very strong, and the game is very passionate, making people bloody."


    Aldridge turned his eyes and asked tentatively: "Are you interested in coming to Millwall for football training now?"


    De Rossi turned his head to stare at him, and said with a smile: "Do you just want me to go to London for football training?"


    Aldridge''s expression is depressed, this kid is a big kid, very fine.


    "Ah, to be honest, I came to you today just to let you join the Millwall youth team. As long as you want, I will give you a professional contract when you are 16 years old. As long as you want, Millwall will be in the future. With your place, you can retire from Millwall as long as you want..."


    At the end, Aldridge''s face became a little sad.


    De Rossi asked curiously: "What''s wrong?"


    Aldridge sighed: "I hope to make Millwall a super giant, but many players don''t have this patience and confidence. What I can give them will never be stingy, but every year, there will always be people Leaving me, my mood is like, um, I spent my time buying food and making a table in the kitchen, waiting for the beloved girl to taste it together. As a result, the girl came and said to me: Thank you. Then invite me Leaving, she invited other men to enjoy food with her..."


    Poof, ha ha ha ha.


    De Rossi was teased and laughed wildly.


    Aldridge looked at the clouds in the sky with his chin, and said: Who can accompany me to the end?


    Now thinking about this question, there will be no answer. The only answer lies in the hands of time.


    De Rossi patted his **** and stood up, said to Aldridge: "Mr. Hall, um, I decided, I will go to Millwall, are you thirsty? I invite you to drink a bottle of water, when you have money, Please give me a big meal."


    Aldridge was stunned. When De Rossi went across the road to buy a drink in the shop opposite, he recovered and opened his arms and shouted: "Hey, boy, you can''t regret it! This is a promise between men. what!"


    He was really afraid that this kid was teasing him.


    De Rossi turned around and frowned, "Don''t be so silly! Don''t worry, I''m not kidding you. You are someone who has just been robbed. Don''t mention the word man?"


    Aldridge petrified instantly, speechless.

 Chapter 233： After the Lien Chan and Lian Jie

    Aldridge and De Rossi sat on the side of the road, chatting with a water bottle in their hands.


    De Rossi told Aldridge that this summer, he would go to a local amateur club in Rome for training, and if he could, he would start his career here.


    Aldrich shook his head and said to him bluntly: Although you are only 14 years old in the summer, accepting regular professional football training earlier will have a great impact on your future. The training mechanism of amateur clubs and professional clubs is completely different.


    After all, he was afraid of De Rossi''s repentance, and there was a meaning out of the word: coming to Millwall is the most correct choice!


    The two had been waiting on the street for almost three hours. When it was dark, a young man came from a distance, carrying Aldridge''s travel bag in his hand, and walked to De Rossi in front of him, and took the bag directly. Throw it to De Rossi, then say hello to De Rossi, and then turn away.


    "Is this yours?"


    De Rossi handed the travel bag to Aldridge, who nodded.


    Opening the travel bag, the original neat clothes were turned over, and the documents were placed in the mezzanine, but he did not find his wallet.


    "Is your wallet valuable?"


    Aldrich heard De Rossi''s question and suddenly realized that his wallet is a famous brand and it was indeed very valuable.


    He sighed sadly, not because of his wallet, but because of a very old photo in it, a family photo taken when he was 11 years old and still living in an old house in East London.


    The camera in the travel bag was gone, leaving only the film.


    The robber brothers are really interesting, he returned all the useless things.


    Aldrich put on his travel bag and said to De Rossi: "I''m going to the bank. You should go home and wait for me. I know your home. Wait a minute by car."


    De Rossi nodded, and he had to go home to tell his father about his decision.


    The two are temporarily separated.


    Although Aldridge lost his wallet, he had documents, and this is Rome. The card-holding bank had a branch. He went to get another card to get some money.


    After he had completed these formalities, it was already seven o''clock in the evening, and he took the car to De Rossi''s house.


    As soon as I got out of the car, I heard De Rossi and his son arguing, and the scene made Aldridge numb.


    De Rossi also carried a travel bag, half of the body rushed out of the door, and old De Rossi pulled the travel bag in his son''s hand full of anger.


    "Rome, Rome, you always say that my future belongs to Rome! But I am about to be 14 years old. Has any coach from the Roma team invited me? No! Don¡¯t impose your loyalty on me! "


    "No, no, you will be chosen by Rome, you will! If you don''t want to play on the amateur team, you don''t have to go to England!"


    "Why not? Mr. Hall has chased me for two years. His sincerity is much more touching than Rome in your mouth! He was even robbed today because he came to me!"


    Old De Rossi''s expression froze, and at this moment he suddenly saw Audridge standing in the distance.


    Aldridge was a little embarrassed, and felt as if he was a sinner who had robbed his son.


    He had to step forward and say to De Rossi: "Danielle, calm down first, your father must be thinking about it for you too, let everyone communicate calmly."


    Both the father and son calmed down, and then invited Audridge into the house.


    Old De Rossi looked sad, and his eyes had been wandering around Aldridge''s face.


    From time to time, he looked at his son with a cold face.


    "Mr. Hall, why do you value my son so much?"


    Leaving aside his father''s identity background, old De Rossi doesn''t actually feel that his son has a special talent.


    This is also normal. Many superstar players do not show their talents from the moment they can play football.


    Some players may be 15 years old, 17 years old, or 20 years old, and their strength has improved dramatically, and then quickly become famous, especially players who are not good at their feet. At this point, the Latin Department or Players who pay attention to the technology under their feet become famous earlier, and the label of talent is also very early. For example, many South American players, such as Joe Cole in the Millwall youth team, young players are famous, most of them are Because of the ball technical ability.


    Such comprehensive evaluations as Nedved, Barak, etc., will show how good they are. Before the age of 20, they naturally seemed to be stunned.


    De Rossi also belongs to this type of player. His foot skills are not gorgeous, his body is still developing, his ability to read games is impossible to talk about, and his characteristics are not obvious.


    Aldrich lied to De Rossi''s previous words.


    He does have a video of De Rossi playing on the Roma community team, but only watching De Rossi play at the age of 12-13, few coaches think he is outstanding.


    It is for this reason that even if the old De Rossi is a player of Rome, the Roma low-level youth echelon still did not open the door to the little De Rossi.


    Italy¡¯s youth training mechanism is relatively complete, which is related to their restrictions on foreign aid. Like Juventus, in addition to the adult team, there are 11 echelons of all ages, 10 in Inter Milan, and 8 in Rome!


    Those young players of U14 and U16 will be attracted by the echelons of the lower level if they show their distinctive ball sense and skills early.


    Of course, the Roma team also has an echelon in line with De Rossi''s age, but the youth team temporarily ignores him.


    Only when he grows up and shows a better comprehensive ability than his peers, he will be caught by the Roma youth team.


    Now, most of the "genius players" of his age are, to be honest, many of them seem to be future "superstars", but the more they are, the more these players become obsessed with their foot skills and ignore other aspects of ability. Ascension, when they reach adulthood, they still feel good playing football, but they can only play static football. In the intense adult team game, these players have very few opportunities to touch the ball, because others do not need to be more skilled than him. Even better, as long as he knows more about running position than he does, and knows how to fight with his body, he can stand out in the comprehensive ability selection.


    It''s like the ability of street football performers to "play the ball" is simply fascinating, but can these people play professional football? I''m afraid I can''t even protect myself. If I can''t play three games, I will definitely be injured and leave.


    "Mr. De Rossi, have you known Millwall?"


    Aldridge was silent for a moment. He felt that he could not make too many unconventional remarks on the talent issue of De Rossi, because that sounded very false, especially if he was asked specific details. Qi is completely speechless.


    Does it mean that his football skills are better?


    Are your physical conditions better?


    Or other qualities?


    No matter what is emphasized, there are a lot of young players of the same age who are better than De Rossi.


    Old De Rossi nodded: "I started to pay attention to Millwall two years ago, and you have achieved a proud result."


    Aldridge waved his hand and said, "No, you misunderstood, I¡¯m not boasting, I¡¯m not trying to emphasize my coaching performance. Now that you have a certain understanding of Millwall, then I want to ask you, do you think Ned Vader, Ballack, Lampard, what are the talents of these three players?"


    Old De Rossi frowned. These three players are from different countries, but speaking of the characteristics of playing, there is really nothing outstanding.


    That is to say, the three qualities of defense, organization, offense, and generality are separately compared. In the same age, there are stronger players than them. If the full score is 10 points, maybe their average score is 8 points, but No one can get full marks.


    But it is such a player, making Millwall''s midfielder extremely powerful, with both offensive and defensive.


    In particular, the technique under the feet of these three people is absolutely inseparable from "gorgeous".


    Seeing the other party silent, Aldridge knew he had begun to understand what he meant to express.


    "In the eyes of other coaches, before they achieve their achievements, their talent evaluation will be average, but in my eyes, they are geniuses, and they will be the player template for the future football. At least in Millwall, there are two players who have already Proving their value, you can say that Nedved is not gorgeous, but no one can deny his importance to the team, you can also say that Barack is sometimes inconspicuous in the midfield, but he does make me The team''s midfield has become strong. Here, 14-year-old De Rossi looks no different from other children, but in my eyes, he will become the mainstay of the team in the future, an indispensable key figure, So, I want to take him to London, cultivate him personally, and inspire him to have the potential not discovered by the outside world."


    Old De Rossi closed his eyes and pondered. After a long while, he opened his eyes and looked at his son, his face stubborn.


    "Okay, let him go to Millwall for football training."


    The calculation in the mind of old De Rossi is estimated to let his son go to football training and wait for the return of his studies before playing for Rome.


    Aldridge could guess what the other person was thinking, and didn''t break through.


    Anyway, when De Rossi was 16, Millwall would directly provide him with a professional contract. Even if the Italian club wanted him, he could not sign a professional contract at the age of 16. When De Rossi was 18, he was already in London. For four years, loyalty is also equal. Players are loyal to the club and naturally need the club to show the same sincerity.


    The so-called "King is treated as a monarch, I will report it."


    Old De Rossi was very interested in the characteristics of the three players mentioned in Aldridge''s mouth, and kept Aldridge to stay overnight at home. The two discussed the topic in depth.


    Aldrich elaborated the view of "ambiguity and diversification of player roles", which is the trend of football in the future.


    In the early morning of the following day, Aldridge and Drossi Jr. left Rome.


    Both were traveling with their travel bags.


    Anyway, De Rossi had nothing to do. He didn''t have to try out training. Aldridge was also alone, so he took the kid with him on the road.


    Van der Mede, Good Johnson, Klose, and now with De Rossi, Aldridge traveled all the way in the summer, "Lian Lien and Lian Jie", they are somewhat confident.


    So he happily continued to dig the foot of the wall, hoping to take away more stars of hope from Italy.


    But for a week in a row, Aldridge repeatedly hit the wall and suffered repeated blows.


    While sitting on the train to Florence, Aldridge sighed listlessly on his chin.


    De Rossi was drinking juice, and when he saw Aldridge being hit, he fell into the stone and said: "Haha, those clubs don''t dump you!"


    Aldridge rubbed his temples and sighed: "It''s actually quite normal. I was mentally prepared before I came out, but the difference between the front and back is too great."


    In fact, Aldridge visited the first-tier clubs in Italy in the past week.


    The target players are not unknown.


    But they are all young.


    During this period, Italy has a lot of outstanding young players. The Italian youth team led by the old Maldini won the European Championship three consecutive times. Among the three generations of 92, 94 and 96 players, there are many star players who will shine in the top stadium in the next 15 years. And these players are also distributed in the first-line clubs of Italy or the giant clubs. Aldridge is overconfident, and ran to dig the corners of these teams, and naturally came back.


    But not all teams are not let go, only the Lions speak.


    At that time, Pirlo sold more than one million pounds to Millwall. The Italians felt that Brescia was doing a good job. After all, Brescia¡¯s current situation allowed them to make a fortune, but even in the giant club, in 1995 This transfer will not be so high, after all, Pirlo is too young and has never proved anything.


    But after seeing Pirlo two years later, the Italians felt that Brescia was penalized. Those who sold more than one million pounds had their prices rise at least five times after two years.


    As a result, when Aldridge dealt with Italian first-tier clubs, they were willing to sell people and offered players no less than three million pounds.


    If it is Nesta Buffon three million, Aldrich will definitely give money, but it is absolutely impossible for others to sell.


    And let Aldrich pay at least three million pounds to buy Barranbira, a player like Satero who can hardly find anyone in the future. Aldridge would rather take the money and enjoy it, at least the value of the money... ¡­

 Chapter 234： Tianzun in the future!

    Aldrich took De Rossi all the way to enjoy the mountains and water, which made him not only lonely, but also happy in his journey, and his mentality became relaxed. He could dig a few stars of hope, and he didn¡¯t have to. I''m so grateful that I was lucky to lose my life.


    Those big clubs either rejected him or regarded him as a silly man with a lot of money and wanted to get rid of it. Aldrich came to Florence instead of visiting Purple Lily, but went to the small town of Fiesole , Visit the amateur club Londinella.


    Of course he came to dig at the foot of the wall, and his goal was Andrea Barzagli, who was only 16 years old.


    Although Millwall¡¯s weekly contract for young players has shrunk dramatically, unlike the first season, he is still willing to give a weekly salary of at least 500 pounds to some young players who have identified potential. This is definitely a tempting contract for Barzali holding an amateur contract and playing football equal to that of Bai Gan.


    Originally, with the current international transfer rules still incomplete, Aldridge didn¡¯t have to pay a penny to the Club of Londinella. They and Barzagli were on an amateur contract, plus Barzagli¡¯s age, in Italy. The contract between the two is not legally binding at all. However, in his conscience, Aldridge still gave the other party a training fee of 100,000 pounds, which gave him VIP treatment at the Club of Lundinella.


    After two long hours of conversation with Barzali, Aldridge asked him to go directly to London to report to the team. At that time, someone from the club will directly give him a professional contract. For other matters, he does not need to worry about it at all. The club will Everything is arranged properly, he only needs to do one thing: take a plane to London.


    After staying in Italy for almost ten days, Aldrich was generally excited. Although a series of hits in the middle made him feel a low tide, but he had harvested De Rossi and Barzagli, it is time to be content.


    While driving to Florence Airport, De Rossi, wearing a peaked cap and a camera in his hand, turned to ask Aldridge: "Are you going to London?"


    Aldridge opened the map of Europe in his hand and shook his head: "Back to London? No, it''s too early. Take a plane to France."


    De Rossi said excitedly: "Well, I haven''t been to France yet."


    "Oh, I''ll take you around the big European countries, um, Germany, even."


    Over the next month, Aldridge and De Rossi went together to go to France, then went south to Spain, and the last stop was Portugal.


    Along the way, Aldridge has repeatedly encountered "acquisition refused" and "black shop lion big opening", but he still got something.


    In Audancourt in eastern France, he signed 16-year-old Benoit Pedretti.


    When he touched the poor family of Philippe M¨¦x in Toulouse, he encountered Auxerre coach Guy Rue. Auxerre was also observing M¨¦x and was interested in signing, but Millwall gave more favorable conditions. Shangui Lunian remembered his friendship with Audridge, Auxerre withdrew, Millwall took 14-year-old Meeks, and paid one year his apprentice contract salary to his family, went to London The club is responsible for food, housing and accommodation, and can concentrate on training.


    I really met a lot of acquaintances during my journey in France. In Toulon, Audric discussed the transfer of 16-year-old Sebastian Squillac with the unknown Toulon club here. Ghana called Aldridge again, claiming that the guy was already paying attention, Aldridge was a real gentleman once, and explained the situation to Squillage, Monaco and Millwall, you choose.


    Squillage didn''t hesitate at all and asked Aldridge directly for the contract.


    God knows when Monaco will come to Toulon to take him away, and when Tigana is still absent, he will say both.


    Milvoldo is real, the coach has come in person, and the contract is ready, it is a shame not to sign.


    After leaving France, Aldridge went to Spain again. Although he only signed two players here, he stayed for a longer period of time because he almost persuaded his mouth to persuade each other.


    One of them is Xavi Alonso, who is preparing to sign with the Spanish low-level team Iba in the summer.


    Harvey Alonso, who was 16 years old and less than half a year away, had stayed in Barcelona in his early years. He also met a lot of friends there, such as Arteta, but he did not have the Barcelona brand on him, because it was only before 10 years old. The number of children who have been taught in Barcelona during the same period is not one thousand but also several hundred.


    The difficulty in persuading Alonso is because he has Basque ancestry. His brother is playing for the Basque team. Most of Alonso''s family thinks he should play for the Basque team like his brother.


    Aldridge took a lot of hard work and showed 300% sincerity before Alonso agreed to go to London.


    To put it bluntly, the situation is somewhat similar to De Rossi.


    Alonso, who is less than 16 years old, is not fast, and the technology under his feet is not very flexible. Once these two indicators are not outstanding, then at this age, there is no surprise to be talented.


    Low-level Iba, or Millwall, a Premier League champion known for his youth?


    In the end Alonso chose the latter.


    The signing of another Spaniard made Aldridge even more difficult.


    In the future, Valencia''s "Left Zun" Vicente!


    Vicente, who turned 16 in mid-July, was considering an invitation from Levante, at which point Millwall stepped in.


    Aldrich personally persuaded Vicente to join Millwall.


    After the last stop in Europe, Aldridge came to Portugal. The time had come to mid-July. He sent De Rossi, who was having fun, to London, and he began to scan the goods in this slap in Portugal.


    Paul Ferreira, 18, spent Millwall ¡ê300,000.


    17-year-old Miguel spent 200,000 pounds.


    After the two transfers were concluded, Aldridge packed his luggage, dressed himself up formally, neatly dressed in a suit and leather, and introduced the last player in the plan.


    Portugal¡¤Europe''s edge, Madeira¡¤Portugal''s edge, Funchal Madeira''s edge.


    Aldrich brought his suitcase to the edge of the island on such an edge: San Antonio.


    Like all bright and bright cities, there is a dark and dirty side, the San Antonio district is a run-down and unpretentious neighborhood.


    It was full of drunkards, and every door Aldridge walked by was filled with empty wine bottles.


    There is no geographical discrimination or racial discrimination in Aldridge¡¯s mind, but the people here give him the impression that he is directly reminded of the words: poor mountains and evil waters are out of the ordinary!


    Even the teenage boy Lang would stare at him with a kind of jackal''s eyes to see his prey. As long as Aldridge showed a little timidity, they would collude to rob him.


    But Aldridge''s courage never changed his face, making him look very confident, like a tough guy going south and north.


    Eventually, his footsteps stopped in front of an old house.


    The roof of the house is crooked, and the paint on the wall door has already fallen off, but the yard in front of the door is full of flowers and plants.


    Aldridge walked into the yard until the door, and knocked gently on the door. After waiting for a while, a middle-aged woman opened the door. With a vicissuous look, she looked older than her actual age.


    "Sir, may I ask who you are looking for?"


    When the woman saw Aldridge''s dress, her breath was a little cold, and her eyes were full of hostility.


    Perhaps, in her eyes, Aldridge should be a civil servant.


    She is in conflict with the regional government. If it was not for her to make a big fuss with the government, I am afraid that she would not come to protect the six houses from the wind and rain.


    "Is it Mrs. Dolores?"


    "Ma''am?! Ah, me, I am, may I ask you?"


    Dolores didn''t expect the other party to call herself so officially, and she was flattered. She didn''t feel the arrogance of the dignitaries from Aldridge. On the contrary, Aldridge gave a calm and reliable impression.


    Aldridge¡¯s self-reporter said: ¡°I¡¯m a head coach from London, England. My team is Millwall. At the same time, I¡¯m the owner of this club. I¡¯m taking the liberty to visit today. I want to sign you. Son."


    When Dolores heard it, she hurriedly opened the door and asked Aldridge to go in. She started to tidy up the living room in a panic. She said sorry repeatedly. Her home was too simple to offer a hello to the guests, especially in Aldrich''s Armani dress was more shabby.


    After she poured a glass of water, Aldridge had pulled out a hardcover brochure from the briefcase, and the cover was the frontal photography of the Millwall Club office building.


    He handed this brochure to Dolores and said softly: "Please take a look at my club introduction. I don¡¯t know if you have heard of Millwall. If you doubt my identity and the information I provided , I can ask any friend who knows the football industry information casually. I have plenty of time."


    Dolores took the brochure and muttered to himself: "Milwall? Millwall? It seems that I have heard..."


    She got up again and went to a room, took out a stack of waste newspapers and magazines, and after rummaging through them, took out an old Portuguese newspaper and showed it to Aldridge, saying, "Is this Millwall?"


    Aldridge looked up and saw that the newspaper should be two months ago. In May, Millwall made a summary report of the Triple Crown, using the front page of the newspaper as the winner of the European Cup Winners¡¯ Cup Photography.


    Aldridge nodded and said, "Yes, unfortunately this cover art is too big, I stand on the far right side of the team, but you should not see clearly."


    Dolores really picked up the newspaper and looked at it, then failed to see clearly the young man standing on the far left of the team who was not wearing a blazer and only wearing shirt trousers.


    However, after she put down the newspaper, she took one out of a stack of magazines, stared at the person on the cover of the magazine, and finally turned her head to smile at Aldridge: "You can see it clearly now. Qi Hall."


    After all, she handed the magazine to Aldridge.


    This magazine is also an old magazine. It was published early last month and is estimated to have little influence in Portugal. Therefore, borrowing the cover of the British "442" magazine is obviously an infringement, but Aldridge really appreciates the piracy here.


    On the cover of the magazine, the lower part is the three trophies, the FA Cup, the English Premier League, the European Winners Cup, and the upper part is the upper body photo of Aldridge¡¯s arms ring with a slightly raised chest angle, which makes the handsome and sharp eyes and frantic. ''S smile was very vivid.


    Aldridge put down the magazine, so that his identity was confirmed, at least not to worry about being warned by the other party as a liar.


    "Mr. Hall, which of my sons did your team look at?"


    Dolores'' face became solemn and asked nervously.


    Aldrich said seriously: "Your youngest son, Cristiano Ronaldo!"

 Chapter 235： In a word

    If you display the names of every world football superstar and look at their lives from beginning to end, then more than 90% of the superstars'' growth experience is a history of inspirational struggle.


    Ten years later in the world football, people who like Ronaldo can list his countless advantages, and people who do not like Ronaldo can also list his countless disadvantages.


    However, before Ronaldo became famous, he should be respected and admired by everyone.


    In this era of digging for genius, how could Aldridge forget the Portuguese superstar?


    When Andrew''s company was founded, Aldridge told Ronaldo''s name and general information and asked him to help him find it.


    Unlike Messi, who is the second largest city in Argentina, Cristiano Ronaldo is in Europe, but he is too remote in the place, reaching the edge of Europe. If it were not for Cristiano Ronaldo who entered the national team¡¯s subordinate echelon, Andrew¡¯s ball Half a year ago, the Internet was covered here in Portugal. I''m afraid Aldridge still can''t find the superstar embryo who is living in the water.


    Although it is not a slum in the strict sense, it is like the house of Ronaldo. The grass roots are dilapidated, but they are bright. In a decaying and degraded environment, there are flowers and plants that parents take care of to light up the hope of life.


    Because Ronaldo is the person named by Aldridge, Andrew''s scouts did an investigation while collecting information here.


    The neighborhood environment is terrible, and there are no positive elements. The neighbors are all drunks. The young people are willing to fall. Even Ronaldo¡¯s family and his friends have been devoured by the devil. .


    His brother has a drug addiction.


    His teammates in the national team also have drugs.


    Ronaldo, who is in a difficult family, was thin and weak at this time, but he still adhered to his dream of football. He was not affected by the fall of his friends, and showed the maturity beyond the 12-year-old boy.


    When Ronaldo¡¯s mother Dolores looked at the Millwall Club brochure, Ronaldo¡¯s father, Denis, came back. The current professional is a worker who repairs the turf of the stadium. The owner is the amateur team Antonio in this area. It was because of his working relationship here that C Ronaldo entered the team at the age of 7 to receive training and was eventually taken away by the national team two years ago. For this reason, the national team paid only for Antonio The team has two brand new jerseys and sneakers worth 600 Euros.


    Of course, this does not mean that Ronaldo, who is 10 years old, is deemed to have a value of 600 euros. At his age, the club cannot restrain him. That is just the normal practice of maintaining relations between the club and the club, just like Aldridge will give Some amateur teams have the same symbolic transfer fee. Really speaking of the law, Aldridge can take away players such as Klose and Barzali for free, because even if Klose is 18 years old, the contract is an amateur contract. The cost of buying out will not exceed 10,000 pounds.


    Denis and Aldridge sat down and introduced each other. The couple took a very serious look at the Millwall Club brochure.


    The father of Denis, although he had no skill, worked as a turf worker in an amateur club and part-time gardener. One can imagine how cheap his income would be. However, from the day C Ronaldo was able to walk, as long as there was a chance, Denis He will train Ronaldo to play football. On the road of football, the father''s influence on his son has left a bit of branding deep in Ronaldo''s memory.


    They saw Millwall¡¯s well-prepared brochure introducing Millwall¡¯s changes under the leadership of Audridge over the past three years, scoring record points in the Premier League, the second season in the history of England¡¯s double cup Wang, the first league in history, the FA Cup, the European Championship triple crown.


    This makes Millwall¡¯s fame not as radiant as Real Madrid¡¯s radiation effect in the Latin region of Portugal, but it is enough to make the couple think that Millwall is an amazing club.


    That''s England''s best team this year and it must be stronger than the Portuguese championship team.


    The husband and wife communicated, and finally Denis said with difficulty: "Mr. Hall, to be honest, I really hope my younger son can go to Millwall for football training, because the environment there is so good, Leo Youth Training There are so many advanced facilities in the base, as well as dietitians, doctors, and professional coaches. These are all the things I want my youngest son to get, but we can¡¯t afford the cost of living abroad."


    Aldridge calmly took out a document from the suitcase and handed it to the other party, said softly: "Please look at this."


    After receiving the file, Dinis and Dolores glanced together. After they watched it for fifteen minutes, the two were completely stunned.


    "500,000 pounds! Will you give us 500,000 pounds?! Why? Are you going to buy my son?"


    Dinis''s expression changed, both frightened and panicked by his own speculation.


    Dolores held her husband''s hand tightly and shook his head slightly, as if to think that Aldridge came to buy their son.


    Aldridge still didn''t change his face and asked lightly: "Sir, ma''am, I have a question to ask you. In your eyes, will Cristiano Ronaldo become a professional player?"


    Dinis nodded affirmatively and said loudly: "He will! Certainly! The people who have watched him play football will praise him!"


    "Will it be a star?"


    "meeting!"


    "Will it be one of the best stars in football?"


    "This¡­¡­"


    Even though Denis firmly believed that Ronaldo would succeed, he did not dare to draw conclusions with a firm tone to what extent he would succeed.


    "He can!"


    When Aldridge''s eyes firmly said these two words to the couple, the couple stared at the young master with a stunned look.


    Aldridge said with a very solemn expression: "But to become a superstar, he needs to pay ten times and one hundred times the effort of ordinary people! He also needs the strength of the family, someone needs to supervise him, and someone guides him correctly! This money is not for me to buy Your son, but let you get rid of the worries of life, put all your energy to cultivate him, so that he can concentrate on playing football, let him a 12-year-old child, do not worry about parents and brothers and sisters! You can take the money, buy your own house, open a shop, and in short, create an environment where we can cultivate him together. If you want, I can also pay for his brother and sister to go to school, Let the poor child, who is addicted to drugs, go to drug treatment."


    Dinis shook her body and mind, and after a long while she turned her head to look at his wife, only to see that Dolores had already burst into tears.


    Every day, they are looking forward to Ronaldo''s growing up soon. He will become famous soon, and use his power to change this poor and desperate home.


    But they haven''t waited until this day, but some nobles have come to the door.


    In any case, it was their little son who brought it all.


    "Let''s move to Britain too."


    Denis said softly, holding his wife.


    Dolores shook his head and refused, sobbing: "No, let him be independent! Let him learn to live alone. He can''t always live by his parents. Learning to be independent can make him grow up as soon as possible."


    Dinis hesitated and said: "Then we will stay in Portugal, listen to you, let him live independently."


    Aldrich saw the dissatisfaction in Denis''s face and said: "The club can provide him with the cost of traveling between Portugal and the UK every half month.


    "No! No! No! Can''t let him come back! Never!"


    Dolores couldn''t hold back his emotions and shouted heartbroken.


    The poor life supported by a **** made the woman who broke her heart for the family fully express her emotions at this moment.


    "He can''t come back! He can''t come back! He doesn''t belong here!"


    Dolores understands deeply that this community is full of sin and depravity. She prays every day. The youngest son must not learn badly, cannot commit crimes, and cannot take drugs like his brother!


    Most of the children who grew up with Ronaldo since they were younger than 15 years old have been completely destroyed. Dolores does not want Ronaldo to return and be assimilated by his bad friends... ¡­


    Aldrich probably guessed the mother''s mood and fell into silence.


    At this time, Ronaldo returned home.


    12-year-old Ronaldo was thin, vaguely looking with future outline features, curly hair, wearing a national team jersey, and was all dirty. Wanting to come was a day of serious and hard training.


    He saw his father hug his mother, and the mother was crying in his father''s arms. He was anxious. He picked up a cup on the table and raised his hand to face Aldridge. "Who are you? You bastard?" !"


    It is difficult to imagine a 12-year-old child standing up in the presence of his parents and resolutely defending the family. This may be a microcosm of Ronaldo''s fighting spirit.


    "stop!"


    Dinis scolded Ronaldo, and then explained everything to him, but did not tell him that Millwall would pay their family ¡ê500,000.


    Ronaldo was very happy when he heard it, but when he learned that his parents would not go to London, he immediately changed his face and ran into his room without roaring.


    Dolores wiped her tears and apologized to Aldrich: "Mr. Hall, I''m sorry, he is still a child without his mother, and I will persuade him."


    After all, Dolores got up and walked into Ronaldo¡¯s room. The house had poor sound insulation. At first, the mother and son were arguing. Later, Ronaldo¡¯s voice gradually became smaller. Finally, Dolores and Ronaldo joined together. As he walked out, Ronaldo showed a reluctance on his face.


    Aldridge stood up and walked in front of Ronaldo. Ronaldo''s eyes looked up at Aldrich with a hostile expression in his eyes.


    He glared so much that he looked at Aldridge''s appearance clearly. He didn''t pay attention to it just now, only to find that the other party was a resounding figure.


    "You, are you Aldridge Hall?"


    Aldrich nodded to the water, before Ronaldo continued to ask questions, he looked down at the child and said lightly: "Cristiano Ronaldo, answer me a question. Do you think you can bring happiness to your family? "


    Ronaldo''s expression was stunned, and then he raised his chest and said loudly: "Of course, I will make a lot of money playing football in the future!"


    "When will it be?"


    "18-year-old, no, 17-year-old, no, 15-year-old! I will definitely be a big star at the age of 15!"


    Ronaldo said confidently.


    Aldridge nodded and said, "So what can you do for your family in the three years before you were 15?"


    Ronaldo was speechless and his face became unsightly.


    Dolores distressed her son and wanted to speak, but Dinis held her hand and shook her head seriously towards her.


    Aldrich pressed Cristiano Ronaldo''s shoulder in one hand and said in a deep voice: "You think you are already an adult, a man, very good, I will not treat you with the eyes of a child, we make a deal. "


    Ronaldo raised his head and asked, "What deal?"


    "Follow me to London. In the next three years, you train hard and put every minute on football. This is what you have to pay. If you promise to do it, I will give your sister in these three years. Find a prestigious school with your brother and pay the rent and living expenses of a high-end apartment for your family. This is what you can do for your family before you become a star. You make your family happy. If you fail to do it in the end, Then in three years, you will not only be unable to become a star, but you will not have any future, you will not earn a high salary, and your family situation will plummet. How?"


    Ronaldo''s eyes firmly gritted his teeth and said: "A word is fixed!"


    Aldridge''s mouth outlined a smile, and said lightly: "One word is final."

 Chapter 236： New echelon

    Cristiano Ronaldo is about to go far away, which has alarmed everyone in the San Antonio area. The adults of the neighbors are envious, feeling that Cristiano Ronaldo is going to England and going to England¡¯s championship team to play. At the same time, he also rescued his family from the abyss of poverty.


    Antonio''s players and coaches also came to congratulate Ronaldo, especially Ronaldo''s childhood football enlightenment mentor Sosa, privately communicated with Aldridge for a long time, and he unreservedly informed him of Ronaldo''s understanding and growth suggestions. Aldridge.


    For this, Aldridge was grateful and carefully wrote down every sentence that Sosa said. Ronaldo showed his talent for football when he was very young, but he also has obvious shortcomings. During his growth, he must Cut those shortcomings that are not conducive to his future.


    After Aldrich paid the national team ¡ê200,000 in training fees, Ronaldo carried a travel bag and wore his mother to clean and iron his clothes. His eyes were reluctant but he stubbornly followed Audrey Qi left her hometown.


    Although Ronaldo is Portuguese and speaks Portuguese, his Portuguese is not as formal as Aldridge, because he has a strong hometown accent, and Aldridge used to learn Portuguese to be the most formal in the past.


    This may make him discriminated against, especially when he arrives in London to learn English and go to school. Anyway, as his mother Dolores said, he must learn to be independent!


    After leaving his hometown, Ronaldo became silent and hardly said anything to Aldridge along the way. Until he came to the Millwall Club, Aldridge personally led him to visit the team''s home court.


    Although the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium looks narrow in the English arena, the capacity close to 20,000 is much larger than that of the national team¡¯s 8500 at home. This opened C Ronaldo¡¯s eyes and within four years of hearing Audridge say They will move into the new stadium, a world-class stadium that can accommodate more than 60,000 people, Ronaldo obviously became a little bit excited.


    Then Aldridge took him on foot to the Leo Youth Training Base. Ronaldo carrying a big travel bag followed him. Many passers-by greeted Aldridge friendly when he saw Ronaldo. Relatives of Aldridge, they are all residents nearby, and are naturally Millwall fans.


    Many people questioned Millwall''s summer signing situation with anxiety, and Aldridge could only smile formally.


    When Ronaldo stood in front of Leo Youth Training Base, he was completely stunned.


    "This, this, this is bigger than the club looks!"


    The youth training base occupies a large area, and in the summer it has undergone a new round of expansion, because Aldridge intends to start the training of the first team here this summer, but only the training field, there are more than twenty large and small, applicable For different training projects, it will be expanded in the future to prepare for more subordinate echelons.


    The Leo Youth Training Base has a large facade and is full of style. The name of the Leo Youth Training Base and the Millwall team logo are carved on the wall next to the door.


    The new season Premier League will open on August 8, the day after tomorrow is the day when the first team players return to the team, pre-season training will also kick off.


    At this time, there was a hot scene in the training base. The members of the coaching staff at all levels stood on the sidelines. On the several courts in front of them, the youth team, the reserve team, and some first-line players who returned early. Play entertainment games.


    When Aldrich came to the sidelines with C Ronaldo staring at the stadium, it was like giving a shot of stimulant to other young players, the first-team players were calm, a lot of players who did not play on the field came over Say hello to Aldridge.


    "Boss, who is this kid?"


    Ronaldinho ran over and stared at Ronaldo curiously, but he heard Ronaldo loudly: "I am not a child!"


    He can understand English in general.


    Aldridge found the staff and arranged for Ronaldo.


    After Ronaldo stepped back three times to watch the stadium leave, Aldrich turned his head and asked Ronaldinho: "How is it? Is Egypt fun?"


    Ronaldinho smiled: "Not bad. Did you watch me play?"


    Aldridge smiled and shook his head.


    Ronaldinho suddenly looked depressed, but he is the most dazzling figure who led the Brazil team to the World Youth Championship in the summer!


    Aldridge patted his shoulder and said with a heavy heart: "Ronaldinho, you have to understand that the junior team championship is not equal to the youth team championship, nor is it equal to the national team championship."


    Ronaldinho was speechless.


    Trezeguet happened to be right next to him. He wore casual clothes today and returned to the team early, but he didn''t plan to play. He also looked depressed: "But I really want a youth team champion."


    Aldridge laughed.


    In the World Youth Championships held in Malaysia in the summer, Trezeguet really went to the championship. The generation of the French 97 Youth Championships in France has a gold striker, Trezeguet, Henry and Anelka.


    However, the strength of the forward alone is useless.


    Argentine, Samoel, and fair-haired blonde Cambiasso, classical masters Riquelme, Aimar...


    Even more depressing is England.


    The striker has Irving, the midfielder has Lampard, Killen Dell, the defender has Ferdinand, Carragher and other Fleet Street players who are considered to be the leaders of the next generation of national teams to go to Malaysia, the goal is only one: championship.


    It''s a pity that it is contrary to wishes


    The rookie Duff of the Millwall team also went to the World Youth Championships, and the performance was pretty good, which made people shine. This made Blackburn regret a little: I knew that I would wait for the World Youth Championship to end before I talked about the transfer.


    It¡¯s rare to see Najib smiling unsmilingly, and the other party came over and smiled at Aldridge: ¡°You¡¯re just here, the players you brought back from other countries are really good, but let¡¯s also see what we have achieved in London Right."


    Aldridge nodded with a smile.


    Then a strange scene happened on the side of the training ground.


    That scene is like the scene where family members meet the leader in The Godfather.


    Aldridge stood still, and Najib, Jenson, and Benitez were lined up like old members of the family. They looked at the young men who came one after another with a look.


    These young players are both nervous and excited, as if they set foot on the draft stage. They want to make a good impression on the head coach. If they can be directly selected into the first team, it will be the jackpot.


    Nadji surprises Aldridge as soon as he comes up.


    There are two young players who are not on Aldridge''s summer signing list, but they took the initiative to come to Millwall for trial training, and they came from afar, from Australia.


    Marco Bresciano and Tim Cahill.


    The two came to Australia to join Millwall for training in the summer. Australia was originally a Commonwealth country. In addition, most Australians in the blood lineage are British. It is common for Australian players to develop in the UK, such as Millwall. Lucas Neal in the game, Kewell, the star of hope in Leeds RUF.


    Aldridge shook hands with these young talents and gently encouraged them. Next, Adam went around in the summer. According to the information on the Aldridge signing list, the eight local players brought back for the team appeared one by one. In front of you.


    Jermaine Jenas, Scott Parker, Michael Carrick, Paul Robinson, Darius Wasser, David Dunn, Francis Jeffers, Ledley King .


    Under the operation of the Andrew brokerage company, several players from the Nordic side were also recommended for trial training, and finally two people were left: Brad Hengrande and Christian Paulson.


    In addition, other local players came to the trial and left nearly 20 people. Although they are all unknown, Aldridge does not think that they have no future. Millwall in the transfer market in the summer, the first team only sold. Stam and Phillips, but many of the youth team¡¯s non-team-focused players have received invitations from other teams. Those invitations are basically from the teams of the First Division and the Second Division. The transfer income of about 300,000 pounds came, and there are some people who are over 20 years old but have no ball to play. The club has prepared a coaching contract for them. Although it is impossible to be bright on the green field, but for their lives In other words, it can provide a stable work and life guarantee.


    In this summer, Millwall not only expanded the Leo training base, but also rapidly expanded the youth army.


    Looking at these exciting young guys, Aldrich knows that the youth team of nearly 100 people of all ages adds up to the first team in the future, but this situation does not make him embarrassed. Football is a competition In the cruel field, there are many young people in the youth team. Everyone influences each other and actively competes to help them grow better. Even if they don¡¯t make it in Millwall in the end, they can transfer to other teams. The players are here Receiving better training, the club gets transfer income when they send them away, and it is a win-win situation for each other.


    Aldridge and the coaches went to the conference room in the administrative building, and everyone began to divide the echelons at all levels carefully to determine the location of the echelon where some players were trained.


    In addition to the first team, Millwall originally had reserves and youth teams.


    The role of the reserve team is to improve and maintain the status of players who cannot enter the big list, and to recover from the recovery of the injured players. The staff turnover is very large and belongs to a temporary transfer team. Some players who are fighting for the main position are also preparing for a long time. The team''s effectiveness, plus several resident players who accompany the "prince reading", basically the age group is in U23.


    In the past three years, the youth team has participated in the U18 England Youth Super League. It does not matter if there are players older than 18 years, because the game allows three U19 players to join.


    And this summer, the Millwall youth team expanded. The club must first establish a U21 team. There are also leagues at the U21 level. However, Millwall did not register before because the youth team players are too small, and the key players are not over 18 years old. of.


    Further down, we must build a team of U16 and U14.


    At the age of less than 14, Millwall also recruited some players. In addition to small players such as De Rossi and Cristiano Rodriguez imported from abroad, many local parents are willing to send their children to Millwall Receiving football training, but certainly not like De Rossi and C Ronaldo under the full management of the club, somewhat similar to "day students."


    Aldridge also set up a U12 echelon. This echelon has some ticketing nature. Parents sending children here will basically relax the mentality of entertainment, so that children can find friends to play football together. Coaches usually look at it. Guide, if you find a good seedling, you can also directly recommend it to the upper echelon of the club to focus on.


    In this way, Millwall had six echelons in addition to the first team.


    The reserve team is played with the first-team league. It has 38 games throughout the season. Since the opponent is also a reserve team of the Premier League club, there will be at least a middle class in the league in the level, but the degree of fierceness is definitely not as good as the real league. .


    The U21 Youth League is also played with the first team of the club, and the number of matches depends on how many clubs in the same level of the league register.


    The U18 British Youth League is more formal, but it is divided into divisions. The first half of the league is played. After the regional championship is decided, the knockout round is entered. There is also the Youth FA Cup. The two are added together and there are at least 28 games in a season.


    The lower echelon is mainly exercise. Occasionally, you can contact the friendly game on your own, or play with the community team. Of course, the list of personnel can be adjusted by yourself. If the 15-year-old player has sufficient level, he will directly play the U18 League. also.


    Originally looking at the lineup of nearly a hundred people, but Aldridge and the coaches divided the players according to age, it seems that the various echelons are not bloated.

 Chapter 237： Crippled

    The Millwall Club has been very busy all summer.


    The official TV station went online, the promotion of the official website, the expansion of the youth training base was completed, new sponsorship contracts were signed, strategic partnerships were established with some well-known British companies, and club recruitment was added.


    As the CEO of the club, Adam was too dizzy to turn around. Although the management team also expanded in size, too much work prevented him from stopping for a day.


    As soon as Aldridge came back, Adam immediately rushed to the door.


    He questioned Aldridge: "Boss, are our signings over?"


    Aldridge happened to be looking for him, but the other party took the initiative to come to the door, and the heart was happy. When asked by him, he shrugged and said, "It''s over."


    Adam snapped his head and said anxiously: "But your transfer fee budget, there are 10 million pounds left! Let''s buy another well-known star, which is very effective for enhancing the club''s influence and attracting outside attention."


    At the sports level, Adam didn''t understand and didn''t need to understand, so he said it straightforwardly.


    After thinking about it, Aldridge shook his head and said: "No, there is no need to spend money to spend money. Although buying famous stars will increase the influence of the team, but in the long run, the harm is more than the advantage. I want to Let the young players see the hope of the main competition, and do not want to spend more time rebuilding the locker room order."


    Buying a star sounds very simple. Buy when you have money.


    But Aldrich doesn''t think so, especially for the stars, the higher the transfer fee, the more the subconscious positioning that gives the stars the importance of their identity, and Aldridge can''t commit to gambling.


    Adam sighed and sat down, no longer forced.


    I just think that this boss is over-thinking. Although Millwall has a strong overall strength and also has a champion, it is like their tactical philosophy to promote the team.


    The whole team looks very strong, but look at each player individually, but don¡¯t think they have big names, Larson and Nedved are barely half, and the defensive players will not say, in this era, defensive players can become big The stars are just a handful.


    Aldridge took out a document and handed it to Adam, saying, "Look at this."


    Adam took over the document and opened his eyes. This is an introduction document for UNICEF. The institution is headquartered in London. The background is an independent non-profit charity under the BAA Group.


    Adam faced his thoughts. The BAA Group is the Hall family industry. It was established by Barnett. It has already gained a lot of popularity in the UK and Europe.


    Adam''s head turned quickly. He said: "Does the boss want to donate money to this children''s charity fund in the name of the team? Give the club a positive publicity effect?"


    Aldridge blinked and smiled: "It is not. If you donate money directly, the publicity effect is temporary. I want to organize a youth football charity cup competition under the age of 15 with the sponsorship of the Millwall Club. The background of the participating teams No limit, amateur team or school team can be, but the players must not be over 15 years old, the champion team can get a prize of 50,000 pounds, and in the name of the champion team, donate 500,000 pounds to the Children''s Charity Foundation. Counting the cost of organizing the event, the cost should be around one million pounds. I hope this event will be held once a year. I said hello to the FA. They said that this is not a professional football event. As long as there is no trouble, we can Determine the charter yourself."


    When Adam heard the words, his eyes lit up. Although the cost was a little high, in terms of club image promotion and local influence, it was definitely a lot of benefits.


    Especially attractive to participating teams. The champion has a prize of 50,000 pounds and can do good deeds in the name of the team. This is a fame and fortune.


    The most effective way to promote a positive image of a team is to do good deeds.


    Players affiliated with Andrew¡¯s agency will follow Andrew¡¯s advice and visit orphans or injured fans at the end of the season or during the season. At the same time, the agency has established a personal Internet site for them, although Internet technology has not yet developed to Twitter. The book is so advanced, and there are not many portals with community interaction. However, Barnett has acquired a website similar to a personal blog in the United States, and has entered the publicity stage, so Andrew also opened a personal website for the players and has a job. The staff helps them maintain, uploading some photos from time to time, and occasionally writing short articles like "diaries", which will attract the attention of many fans.


    There are no clubs in the Premier League or even all European football clubs that are better than Millwall¡¯s, and their official website has been vigorously promoted since its launch, and now has nearly 100,000 registered members It has also opened up souvenir sales channels for online mail order. After replacing larger server equipment, at least the cost of website operation can be self-sufficient from online sales.


    Coupled with the summer official TV launch, the review of the Aldridge coaching team¡¯s history over the past three years has been launched. The official website provides introductory videos, sales of videotapes and CD-ROMs showing a hot trend in the past month. Those Millwall New fans, who want to understand Millwall¡¯s past history, are very interested in the official retrospective program, and they can also cherish it when they buy it.


    "Boss, the people over Puma proposed to launch a new jersey for the new season. Do you no longer consider it?"


    Adam''s first priority was to make money for the club. At the end of last season, Aldridge directly rejected it. Now he still wants to fight for it. From his standpoint, he supports Puma''s proposal.


    Aldridge didn''t change his mind and said lightly: "Forget it, the jersey sponsor hasn''t changed, the chest advertising sponsor hasn''t changed, our team logo hasn''t changed, why do we need a new jersey? By the way, the fools know that we are making money by changing our ways, and we have a bad reputation. If Puma is dissatisfied, they blame why they did not specify the terms of a new jersey every season in the contract. Next summer The sponsorship of jerseys and chest ads will expire. I don¡¯t want to continue to follow up on this matter. It¡¯s up to you to take over. Adam, I don¡¯t ask you to be a business wizard. The requirements for you are also very simple: The money you should earn, don¡¯t earn less for a penny, you can earn more, it¡¯s your skill, I will be happy, but if the club is dissatisfied with the fans just to make money, when the sky is angry, the club will not stand against the fans. Position."


    After Aldridge''s words made Adam look serious and nodded heavily, he got up and said goodbye.


    The money earned by football clubs naturally comes from the fan market, fans watch games, fans buy tickets, fans buy jerseys, fans buy souvenirs, and through the focus on the football club, which in turn gives the football club a commercial influence, advertising value and The influence of the fan market is linked.


    It''s all based on fan loyalty. Maybe it''s not just a fan, it''s a family, it''s generations.


    The boss of Manchester United, whether it is Edwards or Glazer in the future, has been scolded by Manchester United fans. The root cause is the excessive commercialization of Manchester United. He hopes that even the air of Old Trafford will be charged. The price rises again and again, leaving Old Trafford''s stands without even half of the local fans in the future.


    Millwall also needs to make money, but Aldridge feels that there should be a bottom line, because his identity is very special, in addition to being the head coach, or the boss, if Millwall becomes Manchester United, fans can scold Edwards and like Ferguson , But what about Aldridge? It really becomes love and hate, and such emotions will split the fan group and cause many unnecessary contradictions and disputes.


    From the establishment of the Premier League to the summer of 1997, the tickets of all teams have risen, and some have even doubled or tripled. Millwall¡¯s tickets have also risen over the same period, but Millwall¡¯s ticket prices have The top ten of all the clubs in the Premier League are open, the fundamental reason is that the stadium is small and the conditions are poor.


    And this is also acceptable to fans. They understand that the club needs to improve its competitiveness. Naturally, it must not lag behind other teams in terms of income, and the ticket increase rate is not large. In addition to being located in London, it is the London Premier League team. The median fare is only higher than Wimbledon, next season may be a bit higher than their other rival Enemy Crystal Palace, but these allow fans to accept and mock the other neighbors: we spend less than you, But it is a more exciting game than you have seen, a championship game!


    Because of this, Aldridge is unanimously supported by fans, and the Hall family is also admired here.


    The day before the season training, Aldridge took four players to hold a press conference.


    Duff, Van der Med, Good Johnson, Klose.


    Two of them, Van der Med and Klose, Aldridge originally planned to let them go to the youth team to integrate into the team first, but considering that this is a chance for a new aid appearance, so they also brought them both.


    Goodjohnson underwent a medical examination at the club. At first, Millwall¡¯s medical department really could not diagnose the strange injury of his ankle, and then took him to a partner expert for an examination before discovering, His ankle suffered from a kind of tendonitis that was difficult to diagnose. When he found the cause, he could take the right medicine. He recovered well, mainly because he was in a good state of mind and full of hope for his future.


    It''s just that his body has delayed training because of injuries in the past six months. It may take some time to recover to the level where he can play.


    The four players appeared in the press conference with their new jerseys. Because they are not big names, their popularity in the Premier League is zero, so the procedure of showing the ball skills to the fans is eliminated.


    The reporters at the meeting had little interest in these four players. Fleet Street thought Millwall''s summer signing was terrible!


    Digging up VanderMead from Ajax may be a commendable good deal. After all, Ajax produces it and the quality is guaranteed.


    Duff, who spent two million pounds as the summer club¡¯s signing champion, performed well in the World Youth Championship, but has only recorded seven games in the Premier League. He is far away from standing firmly.


    Klose was a complete unknown, and when Fleet Street asked about his background, he suddenly became speechless to Aldridge.


    Before playing for the German amateur club, this tall man is also 19 years old. Is Millwall planning to open a waste recycling station?


    The most criticized is the signing of Good Johnson.


    Was Millwall shameless about the player who was actively terminated by PSV?


    You are the Premier League champions, can you not be as disgraceful as picking up the junk outside!


    I also learned that the reason for the termination was that Good Johnson was plagued by injuries. Fleet Street made a summary for Millwall''s summer transfer.


    "Disabled, scrapped, less, weak!"


    GoodJohnson: Disabled.


    Klose: Obsolete.


    Duff: Less.


    Van der Mede: Weak.


    Against this background, Aldridge, who has always been a red star on Fleet Street, was stunned by reporters.


    No one wants to ask about these four players.


    What if I ask?


    Is it published in the newspaper?


    Who the **** looks!


    The scene was silent.


    Aldridge''s face became a little awkward.

 Chapter 238： As soon as the golden mouth opened, the meal came

    Aldridge thought Millwall''s success last season would make Fleet Street give him some face.


    Even if the four first-team players introduced by Millwall are anonymous, at least some of the face should be given.


    Take a picture and ask a few questions symbolically. The reporters will talk to Aldridge again, and we will finish this transition.


    Unexpectedly, it was really cold.


    These reporters are so **** realistic!


    He didn''t expect how beautiful these four players would be when he came here, but if he fell into such a cold situation now, not only might the players feel uncomfortable, but Aldridge also felt that he had no face.


    "Cough."


    In the silent scene, Aldridge coughed twice, then raised a smile and turned to the four rookies of the team.


    "When Napoleon was ten years old, due to his background, language accent and personality, he became the object of bullying in boarding schools. French teenagers mocked him and ridiculed everything he did, including his name."


    When Aldridge spoke, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly changed, and the reporters all became "good students." While listening to his words, he worked hard to record every word he said.


    They came here for the news, and Millwall¡¯s four signings were announced before, and there is nothing to speculate about. The reason is that there is no shortage of seats here, and the well-known media on Fleet Street have sent reporters to come here. Why? ?


    Of course, it was not to see the four new aids, but to Audric.


    My brother, you make us want to die!


    In the lonely summer of 1997, they couldn''t even eat their meals. The most popular news figure in the English football world is no longer a certain star, but this young handsome.


    Almost two months ago, Aldridge evaporated, and the last time reporters saw him, he still stuck at his door and asked about Cantona''s retirement.


    A football reporter on Fleet Street had to wait and see, looking for the stars and the moon, and finally waited for Aldridge to come back.


    When they heard that Millwall was about to hold a press conference, they were so excited that they almost sprinkled flowers to celebrate.


    But after coming here, they were surprised to find that Millwall only officially announced the joining of four new players.


    The reporters were extremely distressed: we waited for two months, would you give us this news? No, this is not news, this is the waste paper printed in the newspaper that people see it used only as toilet paper.


    However, as soon as the young commander opened his mouth, the reporters were suddenly full of energy, licking his mouth and feeling happy: Let¡¯s have a meal!


    "Napoleon before the age of sixteen was excluded and discriminated against. His comments every year will have a conclusion that is not conducive to his future. But what did he do? He laughed at those who ridiculed him, and did not laugh at his teenagers who wasted his time. They play, at Briena Military Academy, he takes full advantage of all the advantages provided by the military academy, no matter how humble he is, he does not hesitate. He had thoughts of giving up and even thought of suicide."


    Aldrich''s narration deeply attracted Van der Med, Duff, Good Johnson, and Klose smiled bitterly.


    Boss, I don¡¯t understand well. I have no CET 6 in English.


    "But he defeated everything, the external environment, the inner devil. By the age of 22, Napoleon had mastered the knowledge that ordinary people could not master for 30 or 40 years, and wrote countless practical articles, many of which exposed his ambitions. The grand strategy and political reform plan of the future. The next story, I think everyone knows that he changed from an Italian son to an Italian father. Those French people who mocked and excluded him despised that he would not hire him as son-in-law. Ladies, in the end, you have to call him emperor respectfully."


    After Aldridge finished speaking, he smiled slightly at the audience, then turned to the four rookies and said, "When Trezeguet came, some people said he was a wild boy from Argentina. When Pirlo came, some people said he You will be scared and cry, many players are not optimistic about the media when they come, but Millwall has appeared one by one by diligently tapping his talents to prove his Napoleon, as long as you can sink your heart and put all your energy into the struggle, You can also be Napoleon, because our goal is to become the Emperor of Europe! If we do it one day, then we have to change our goal: to avoid being Napoleon at Waterloo."


    As soon as the voice fell, laughter sounded at the scene.


    Some of the reporters lost their smiles, some shook their heads bitterly, and some sighed.


    It is impossible to disagree with this young handsome.


    The story of others sounds to encourage their players, but how does it sound like they are scolding them for their short-sightedness and do not know gold inlaid jade?


    At the end it was a bit humorous.


    Such a press conference is only awesome.


    Everyone was silent on this, and the news came.


    The young master used Napoleon''s allusions to encourage disciples.


    Isn''t this good news?


    Reciprocity, they also began to ask some unrelated words.


    Ask how these players came to Millwall, their future ambitions, and whether they are used to life in the UK.


    Anyway, they are wasting their time on the relationship and giving Aldridge a face.


    As for the four players who answered in earnest, what they said, it is estimated that they will be taken away in the newspaper tomorrow.


    Such as "Rookie looks forward to the future" "I''m very happy to play for Aldridge".


    The theme program of the press conference passed, and the reporters focused on Aldridge again.


    David Miller of The Times raised his hand and asked: "Mr. Hall, I have a question. I don''t know if it is convenient for you to answer."


    "You ask first, it''s convenient and inconvenient. If you don''t ask me, how do I know?"


    "Well, it¡¯s like this. I¡¯m writing an academic article about Millwall¡¯s great success last season. There is a phenomenon I want to find the answer to you. Millwall played in the fourth line last season, but your players It is the Premier League, even the first-tier clubs in Europe have the fewest injuries. Even if the players are injured, the recovery period is the shortest. In this regard, does Millwall have any successful experience for the English club to learn from?"


    In the eyes of Aldridge, David Miller, a reporter, has a much higher taste, and his writing style is also in the professional field. It is by no means eyeball news for the sake of sensation.


    For example, for the first time he saw Cruyff¡¯s picture when he was playing football in Ajax, he likened Cruyff to ¡°Pythagoras wearing sneakers¡±. Ordinary people read articles written by him. Sometimes it really feels too difficult to understand. If you don¡¯t know that Pythagoras is an ancient Greek philosopher, you can¡¯t understand what he likened to Cruyff.


    Aldrich thought for a moment and said: "There are basically three reasons. First, the player training mechanism has given them a strong physique, and the chance of injury in a fierce game is reduced. Second, a reasonable rest, young players are not suitable for the game Frequently, and when I use them, if a player feels a little uncomfortable before the game, I will not risk using them. Of course, sometimes players will conceal their discomfort in order to play, which requires the coach to observe the player''s status more carefully. Third, our medical system. I can proudly say that Millwall¡¯s medical system is the best in Europe."


    "Why are you so sure?"


    "Because there is comparability."


    "What do you mean?"


    "How many team doctors does Manchester United have? What is the annual budget for the medical system?"


    David Miller frowned, not sure: "It should not exceed ¡ê200,000."


    ¡°Even if it¡¯s ¡ê200,000, Millwall¡¯s annual budget is at least five to ten times that of ¡ê200,000. We have a medical team of more than fifty people and eight licensed sports medicine experts, even if so , I don¡¯t think it¡¯s enough, because it still doesn¡¯t ensure that every injury that happens to the player is diagnosed without error.¡±


    The reporters present were shocked.


    Millwall¡¯s medical budget for a year will be so high!


    David Miller frowned deeper.


    "What kind of consideration do you have to build such a high-standard medical department? I mean, if other teams have a budget of one million to two million pounds, they can introduce a good player, It is also possible to increase the salary of the players to keep the players. And for Millwall, which has a debt of hundreds of millions of pounds, even if it is not used to recruit, should it be the first to save?"


    Other reporters nodded frequently and agreed with Miller.


    Aldrich paid one, shook his head and said: "If you want to calculate the economic benefits, this account should be calculated like this. If a player worth five million pounds is injured, he does not get the most accurate diagnosis and treatment, suppose he Ruined, the club lost five million pounds, plus his salary and the potential value of future appreciation. If he could recover in three months, but healed for half a year because of inappropriate treatment, Then the club still lost the money that lacked his strength and salary in these three months. However, I think this is not the original intention of Millwall to build the medical department. I respect my players and they deserve the best care. The club is obliged to keep them healthy, and it is well known that football is a closed circle and team doctors are also part of the club. Player injuries can only be treated by the team doctor unless they encounter major injuries, and in many other cases, the players seem to only be injured Or common ligaments and other common symptoms are actually not as simple as they seem. Some team doctors who do not have sufficient expertise will misdiagnose. This not only damages the interests of the club, but also disdains the health of the players. The club kidnapped the players. Will, some players even tolerate the pain and cannot go to other places for medical treatment, otherwise it is a betrayal of the club, and some quacks in order to save their jobs, even if the injury cannot be diagnosed, they will not reveal the truth."


    The scene suddenly fell silent again, and the most excited expression was Good Johnson.


    There is a quack doctor in Eindhoven!


    He could not be diagnosed with his disease, and he never thought of letting him go to a more professional medical institution. When he could not be cured, he would be swept out of the house!


    Don¡¯t look at Millwall¡¯s huge investment in the medical department. In fact, it is a stable investment.


    For example, if you bring Good Johnson, you don¡¯t spend a penny, which means that Bai picked up at least one million pounds. As long as he works hard, he has no problem with his talent.


    And to ensure the health of players is to generate income for the club, because only healthy players improve faster, the faster the appreciation rate.


    David Miller didn''t ask this question again, because the relationship involved was complicated, including the traditional club''s distrust of foreign doctors. The club was more willing to use loyalty rewards to let non-professionals serve as team doctors and ensure all the information of the club. Will not leak the wind, this includes information about player injuries.


    "Mr. Hall, thank you for your honest answer. I will publish your point of view in my article. To be honest, I admire your attitude and behavior of loving the players. Other clubs should also follow the example of Millwall and let Professionals do professional things."


    Aldridge nodded to David Miller with a smile. He really hoped that the other party would publish all the words he had just said, and other reporters should also publish it.


    Although it will offend many peers, it will win the hearts of many players, so that more players are willing to join his account.


    What''s more, it is a general trend to use professional doctors as team doctors. In a few years, the Football Association will clearly stipulate that professional club team doctors must be professionals with sports medicine licenses.

 Chapter 239： One year is not as good as one year

    As the defending champion of the Premier League, Millwall''s summer signings have naturally attracted widespread attention.


    However, judging from the signing process announced by the club, fans of the crazy lions are numb.


    We are really Wang Xiaoer''s New Year: a year is worse than a year!


    I wonder how beautiful Aldridge was when he first took charge of the team. The Premier League became the team with the highest transfer expenses in the entire England that summer. More than 10 million pounds were smashed out, which greatly inspired people.


    But in the next two years, either only two or three people will be bought, or they will simply transfer to the market with zero investment. Looking at this year as the defending champion and financially ample, after all, the new Premier League broadcast contract has soared, and the team will play the Champions League. The financial resources are tumbling, not to mention that Stam and Phillips contributed a huge sum of 18 million pounds to the club after they left the team.


    No one thought that Millwall, who was not rich in money, actually spent less than 3 million pounds in the first team transfer in the summer!


    Duff 2 million, Good Johnson is free, Van der Med is free, and Klose is ¡ê100,000.


    If Aldridge is new to take over this team, the dogs must be scolded by the fans.


    However, everyone seems to be used to living like this. In the media street interviews, fans responded to this lightly. They were neither disappointed nor satisfied with the club¡¯s recruitment work.


    At the press conference, the reporters chased Aldridge in desperation and wanted more news material.


    Richard of the "Daily Mail" asked directly: "Will Millwall introduce players next?"


    In fact, Millwall introduced a lot of players in the summer, but they all reported to the youth team. This kind of recruitment, Fleet Street does not pay attention at all. The teams in England will supplement the youth team in the summer. The young faces come and go too More, who is interested in caring about these "children"? Unless it is the young players who performed exceptionally well in the Youth League and the Youth FA Cup this season, they will additionally appear on the news page of mainstream newspapers.


    Aldridge leaned back in his chair and said quietly: ¡°Milwall¡¯s transfer door has been officially closed this season, no players will leave, and no first team players will be introduced.¡±


    The reporters immediately looked at each other.


    They are all anxious for Millwall!


    Richard said anxiously: "Compared to the investment of other strong teams in the Premier League in the summer, isn''t Millwall worried about the competitiveness of the new season? To be honest, Millwall''s investment has even invested in other strong teams. The fractions are not comparable."


    Facing this problem, Aldridge fell into a silence.


    In addition to the introduction of Stam, Manchester United also introduced Sheringham in the summer. The transfer market has invested about 20 million pounds.


    Liverpool¡¯s lineup was strong enough, and tinkering cost five million pounds to bring in five players. Friedel, Dundee, Riddle, free Staunton and Goodnesson¡¯s ¡ê150,000 transfer fee fell. Not worth mentioning.


    The most eye-catching is the London team, one by one spending money like running water.


    Tottenham successively introduced Roman Vega, David Ginola, Les Ferdinand, Jose Dominguez, and it took ¡ê8 million to take away two main players from Newcastle United, plus The other two players, Tottenham invested nearly 15 million pounds in the summer.


    Tottenham''s rival, Arsenal, Wenger has great expectations for his first full coaching season. In the summer transfer market, the Arsenal board also generously waived, except for the transfer of several young players under a million pounds. , Wenger brought Emmanuel Petit from his former club Ligue 1 champion Monaco last season, and Luis Boamot from Lisbon. The most notable transfer was Wenger from Ajax brought Peter Pan Ovimas to Highbury, worth 7 million pounds, Arsenal has also spent more than 13 million pounds so far in the summer.


    Millwall¡¯s rival, Chelsea, Bates continued the policy of signing the loan with excessive investment in the transfer market. In addition to the transfer of less than one million pounds, Chelsea brought back a young defender Baba Yarrow from Belgium. Huye, French defender Lambert, the high salary of free transfer attracted Poyet, using Bosman''s rule to introduce Norwegian high center Flo at a low price of 300,000 pounds. The most important transfer is from Blackburn. I bought back Le Saux, who left four years ago. When he left, the transfer fee for Le Saux was 700,000. Four years later, Chelsea bought it back for 7 million. Chelsea invested about 14 million pounds in the summer.


    And these three clubs failed to make up half of the transfer market investment. Among them, Chelsea and Arsenal have invested more than 10 million pounds in the transfer market for two consecutive years. They urgently need the team''s record to increase the team''s revenue.


    Unconsciously, one of Arsenal and Chelsea has the capital to regain its glory, and the other has accumulated strength bit by bit on the road to rise.


    The reason for Aldridge''s silence is that he has a clear understanding of reality.


    The other teams have become stronger, is Millwall just standing still?


    Of course not, just looking at the main lineup. Although Millwall has left Stam, other players are still growing and improving. Experience, technology, team understanding, etc., Millwall¡¯s starting 11 should be more than last season. Strong, because they have experienced the baptism of the champion.


    But a team is not only composed of 11 starters, it needs to have a substitute that can play a capable substitute.


    In this regard, Millwall is lacking. Audrich also admitted that if players such as Van der Med and Duff are sent to the game, the expectations in their hearts must be very low. Most of them are mainly training, and they cannot be used for performance requirements. Increase the pressure on them, the effect of the adventure is basically zero.


    With a sigh, Aldridge spread his hands and said: "Well, you all think that Millwall''s recruitment work is not good, so please help me, I have ten million pounds here, you tell me, I should go Who should I buy? I hope this is a professional discussion, not a bluff and a mess. You said some of the names that come to Millwall can make my team stronger, or these players can quickly integrate into Millwall Tactical system."


    When asked by Aldrich, the reporters were speechless.


    Everyone showed a pensive look and thought carefully, maybe what Aldridge said, it is not that they do not have the money to buy people, but the famous stars, they may not be easy to use.


    In Millwall''s tactical system, many characters are elusive.


    The organization of the front waist has been greatly weakened. The winger is not like a winger, and the center is not standing. Although the full-back assists are not new, but a full-back who can attack and defend can be so easy to find?


    To say which link is the weakest, it must be the goalkeeper.


    But Bout is still young and his performance is stable.


    You can only say that he can''t make more world-class saves, but he is more stable than his predecessor Keller, and occasionally can surprise you. This is already very good. The Premier League has no Golden Gloves yet, but Boutley last season Overcoming Schmeichel, Seaman, James and other well-recognized excellent goalkeepers to become the best goalkeeper in the Premier League, his strength has also been affirmed, but he does not have such a big reputation, which leads to the impression that he is not particularly strong.


    The reporters could not answer the question from Aldridge.


    Accused Millwall of bad aid, but they could not give particularly good advice.


    Most of them have a strange feeling, even if Ovimas is given to Millwall, Ovimas is stronger, but he seems to be unable to replace Shevchenko''s winger position, even if he takes the most powerful Ronaldo. Replacing Trezeguet, you may also feel that Millwall is not necessarily stronger.


    This is the problem of the combination of the player''s style and the team''s technical and tactical system. It has nothing to do with the player''s strength. It is a question of the overall integrity of the puzzle.


    Because Millwall''s tactical concept is different, the style of the team created by Aldridge is very different from the mainstream, which directly leads to the special requirements of the players he needs.


    Like Orviemas, is he strong? Aldridge will say: Very strong!


    But even if he gave Odrich an Ovimas for free, he would think it was a hot potato.


    How long does it take to change his habit of holding the ball down? How long did it take him to integrate into the tactical system, passing instead of excessive dribbling? In addition, at the winger''s position, he should be able to train the outscraping point closer to the goal breaking ability.


    Half a season, a season? Or longer?


    Aldridge didn''t know, especially this kind of player is already a star.


    It''s like being in a relationship and issuing a good card: you are excellent, but we are not suitable.


    Because of this, Aldridge also has a headache. He can¡¯t find a substitute to fight for, and can only give young players more opportunities. Anyway, buying other seemingly capable players also needs a short period of time to blend in and integrate. .


    So he basically will not consider players over the age of 23, because after the age of 23, most players'' technical ability and playing habits have been unable to make greater changes, training is just to maintain the state, better, also because of experience The raising of consciousness.


    The reporters finally frowned and got up to leave the table.


    One by one seems to be in a heavy mood, they are thinking about the same problem.


    Is Millwall really amazing?


    The stars who are famous outside haven''t really been able to play football with them?


    How special is the tactical system created by Aldridge...


    The four rookie players were dumbfounded, which was really a memorable press conference.


    The head coach of our family told the reporters directly.


    Although this is not the fierce verbal confrontation of tongue warriors, the gang of reporters came happily and left with a lot of thoughts. It seemed that after an ideological baptism, Aldridge¡¯s image in the hearts of these four players seemed Plump a bit.


    The next day, Leo Training Base.


    After the expansion, there was a brand new building, which almost doubled the size of the training hotel they stayed in the past three years.


    The first team members walked out of the building in training jerseys with a joke.


    Aldridge chatted with several coaches on the sidelines.


    Mullensteen and Moniz were particularly excited today. After returning from their holiday in the Netherlands, they found that the club had so many good seedlings, which made them crazy.


    For example, Vicente, speed and foot skills are already very good at the age of 16, coaches at a glance know that it is a material that can be made.


    This is enough for Mullensteen and Moniz, the former is the technical director, the latter is the technical coach, they have to develop different training programs according to the characteristics of the players, so after the two chatted with Aldridge for a while It is necessary to go to the youth team to observe the players, and only after a period of observation can the corresponding technical training program be studied.


    "Hey, wait a minute, you come here first, there are four players here that you need to focus on training."


    Mullenstin trot halfway back and smiled: "Okay, wait for us to come again."


    After that, he and Moniz ran to the youth team...

 Chapter 240： Worst season

    "Hi, boss."


    "Boss, you are getting younger."


    "Boy, give, hometown specialty."


    ...


    Every player who goes to the training ground will take the initiative to greet Aldridge with a smile, and the senior players on the team will joke with Aldridge.


    Aldrich is also very happy today. He is not used to seeing players for two months. Seeing them all coming back in a spirited spirit, the smile on his face has not dissipated.


    Larson had a thigh strain in the last game of last season and healed in two months, but for safety reasons, his training will be arranged separately and the intensity will not be too high.


    Watching the players stand on the training ground, Aldridge smiled and said: "I''m glad, I still recognize you."


    The new players did not understand, and the other old players laughed.


    Trezeguet smiled bitterly: "Boss, how long will this joke be told?"


    Everyone remembers the appearance of his blessing when he came back from vacation two years ago, and he almost couldn''t recognize it.


    In the past two years, young players have grown rapidly and their professional attitudes are better. Therefore, even during the holidays, there will be no situation where players overeating and lacking in shape after exercise.


    After laughing, Aldridge said to mature coach Fiona: "Coach, let''s get started."


    The old players step by step, opened the distance and followed Fiona to start the warm-up exercise, stretched the muscles to move the muscles, and completely let them stretch each part of the body and each muscle.


    The new players follow the coach''s movements and imitate them carefully. Fiona takes care of the new players deliberately and moves slowly. He also reminds them to standardize their movements as much as possible.


    Aldridge and the other coaches followed along, and the most uncomfortable thing was Benitez. He usually followed the players to run and jump for exercise. This kind of difficult pull movement is just his big belly. He couldn''t bend down.


    ...


    The other side separated by the building is the training ground of the youth team.


    Unlike the previous youth team recruiting new people, there are quite a lot of people, but the talents are average. This year the youth team expanded and there are many good seedlings. Najib felt that it was necessary to give a speech.


    The echelons of all levels lined up on the training ground, and Najib stood in front of them. Mullensteen and Moniz and other coaches were standing in the back row. There was a post of a leader reviewing the team.


    Looking at the team of nearly 100 people, Najib said calmly: "Maybe you only heard about Millwall two years ago, or last year, this year. My impression of this is that I have come through media reports. Let you understand the development philosophy of this club. First of all, we attach great importance to youth training, your training venues, equipment, and the number of youth team coaches, coach quality, is the best in England, and may be the best in Europe. Yes! See the four words inscribed on the youth team building behind me?"


    The youth players looked up in unison, with four words carved on the front wall of the youth team building not far behind Najib.


    "Team! Will! Diligence! Talent! Millwall has a sign in each dressing room that says: The person who plays for himself is playing for his opponent, and the person who plays for his team is for himself. This is not the football concept pioneered by Millwall, it is the famous saying of Herrera in the international era, but this is the essence of the team of football! The team is the first, then the will, if you do not have a strong will, Then you cannot be a good player, diligent, it is no longer an era when Galincha fishing girls can be famous in the green field! Do you want to be a good player? If you want, you have to pay more than others Sweat, otherwise, even the best talents will be squandered by yourself. Finally, there are talents, there are many kinds of talents, professional football is not a streetball performance, technology is only one of many qualities, game reading ability, team awareness, reasonable use Body and so on, these are talents, you are equal, don¡¯t think you¡¯re inferior to the opponent because you don¡¯t run as fast as you are, and don¡¯t think you are stronger than others because you have good ball control skills, everyone is Unique, use your strengths, turn your strengths into your own talents, take a diligent attitude, refuse to lose your will, and always put the team first, then you will be successful here!"


    The youth team''s players all held their heads with a firm face.


    Hearing Najib''s words encouraged them.


    Indeed, in the past, these people have met new friends, and even in the game of playing on the court, they clearly realized that there are talents here, and some seem unpretentious.


    This makes them feel pressure in the competition, for fear that they will be despised by the coach.


    But Najib''s words dispelled their concerns.


    In Millwall''s youth training concept, more emphasis is placed on the internal cultivation of spiritual qualities.


    Najib continued: "Milwall is a club that has achieved success in a short period of time. Our head coach Aldridge Hall has been affirmed in England. He has won the Premier League''s best coach for two consecutive years. There are countless Players want to play under him. Look at the first team players. Your predecessors. They were the most aggressive offensive team in Europe last season and the best defensive team. You may have questions in your heart: the future, Will Millwall have your place? I¡¯m sure to tell you, yes! But the opportunity requires you to fight for yourself and become the next Lampard, Pirlo, Ferdinand, Capdevi who will go from the youth team to the first team. La, Gattuso, Glenshare, these players all came to Millwall under the age of 18, entered the first team after the youth team hone their ability, and in the future, Millwall will still pin hope on you Body! But, you have to prove that you deserve the position of the first team, why? Because the worst performance of our past three years is the 96/97 season, that season, we only won the league runner-up!"


    Najib''s words shocked the group of teenagers.


    Mad lion, so **** crazy!


    Listening makes people bloody.


    The league runner-up is the worst moment!


    Najib was playing a word game. In the first year, Millwall was indeed a league champion, but it was a Premier League with zero gold content for top teams.


    "In the new season, our first team will compete in the UEFA Champions League. We will go to European countries to compete with championship teams. At the same time, the club will arrange friendly matches with foreign club youth teams. On the itinerary, we will follow the first team together. Go abroad, but the list of each trip is only 16 people, and all players over 15 years old have the opportunity to be selected. If you want to compete with the rich youth teams of other countries in Europe, use the performance in training to convince me and let me Actively write your name on the roster, and at the same time, the two best players in each level of echelon training every week will receive tickets for the club¡¯s home game. These players can sit on the VIP stand to enjoy the game. If you want to watch the ball comfortably on the spot for free, then use the training score to exchange the tickets in my hands!"


    This is the club¡¯s practice of cultivating a young player¡¯s sense of belonging and honor. Compared with the practice of other clubs continuously reducing the free tickets for players to make money, Millwall does the opposite, preferring to sell fewer tickets and give them Free tickets for players, especially young players.


    However, if there is a situation where Terry gets a free club ticket in the future but sells it in private, the club will make punishment measures and cancel the free ticket.


    The young players cheered with excitement, watching the ball was a pleasure, but if they could go to Europe to fight with the team, it would not only be a trip abroad, but it would be very hard.


    After Naji''s training was over, the boys started to fight, and they started training immediately. They wished to rush to the first team immediately.


    The training of the youth team''s on-track system officially kicked off. Players of different echelons were scattered on different training grounds, and echelon coaches of all levels also went over to preside over the training.


    After the warm-up activity on the first team side, everyone was curious to find that the two coaches of Torop and Craig directed the club staff to move the two machines, which looked like two cannons, but the barrel was short.


    "Boss, what is that?"


    Fanny leaned in front of Aldridge and asked, Aldridge smiled and dragged him to the center of the field, letting Fanny stand there, and then he beckoned to Craig, who started the machine with a smile.


    Suddenly, the "cannon" shot a ball, and the speed was not slow. The direction was Fanny. Fanny was startled and hurried away.


    "Hahaha."


    The players understand that this is a tennis machine similar to tennis training.


    "Hello, Rud, it''s not for you to hide, for you to practice stopping the ball!"


    Fanny found out that it was a false alarm and summoned the spirit: "Hey, this is fun, continue."


    Craig continued to press the button of the machine. Every 15 seconds, the ball would be ejected. Although the machine did not move, due to factors such as wind direction and rotation, the trajectory of the ball will be slightly different. Fanny stopped the ball at the beginning. Somewhat bad, but as he became more focused, he became better and better after adjusting to the rhythm.


    Craig¡¯s task was simple. It was to put the ball in the back of the machine and wait for a bag of more than twenty **** to be shot. The time was only a few minutes, but it also made Fanny feel a little uncomfortable. Then the task It''s easy, get the ball back.


    The other players saw this new thing and knew that they could exercise the ball sense and stop technique, so they all had to try it.


    There are not many machines, so everyone has to take turns, and Glennshire wants to try out the non-stop shooting technique.


    Aldrich thinks this machine is quite useful, at least it saves more time than manpower.


    Today''s training is mainly relaxed, and the systematic training of physical fitness reserve will officially start tomorrow.


    Aldridge planned to let the players run first, so he started the group half-time confrontation training, and the extra players went to experience the two serving machines.


    Goodjohnson did not appear on the training ground, he is still in recovery stage, rest is more important.


    Klose, Van der Mede, Duff, these three players had a half-time match, and they were immediately excited. They all wanted to show themselves to their teammates and coaches.


    However, Aldridge did not arrange for the three of them to enter the team, but let the three of them come to stand next to him and observe the training of his teammates.


    The training base has an indoor five-a-side football field and a seven-a-side football field, but there is no outside.


    The three rookies stood next to Aldridge. It was strange to see their teammates. The offensive team and the defensive team had only one goal both in the horizontal half and in the vertical half.


    "Boss, is this a game? There is only one goal, won''t it be the half-ball game?"


    Van der Mede was born in Ajax, and felt that the training he had received in the past should be the best. But today''s look really surprised him.


    Aldridge smiled and said: "It''s not the rule of basketball that the two teams alternately attack and play one basket. Our rules are relatively simple. The offensive team scores a win, and the defending team passes the ball ten times without losing the ball. ."


    After the three players understood the rules, they began to watch their teammates play.

 Chapter 241： Very hurt

    Klose, Duff, and Van der Mede stood beside Aldridge. Through the team''s half-court offense and defense, Aldridge began to explain Millwall''s football concept for them.


    At first, the offensive side was six and the defensive side was five. The offensive side easily scored a goal and won a point through the cooperation of pass and cut.


    Then, the offensive side withdrew one person to 5-5, then the offensive side scored again, then withdrew another person and became 4-5.


    "In the 90-minute game, there is a change in the number of people in each attack. It is impossible for the number of offenses to be equal to or equal to the number of defenders. During training, you must learn to be flexible and adaptable to play. How many teammates are around you must know how to play."


    "But now there are only two strikers on the court."


    Klose is very interested in this kind of training and also finds it novel.


    There are only four players on the offensive field, Pirlo, Nedved, Trezeguet, Shevchenko.


    Aldrich motioned his arms around his chest to show them down.


    On the defensive side are four backs and a midfielder, a combination of the bench.


    Mills, Ferdinand, Materazzi, Zambrotta, Gattuso.


    Before attacking at 6-5, Barack and Glencharr were the offensive side. At 5-5, Ballack came off and after scoring again, Glenchard also withdrew.


    When the number of offenses is dominant or equal, the attacking side kicks the ball and runs freely through the running position, scoring a goal very quickly.


    When the number is not dominant, their kicks have changed.


    This will test the player''s ability to control the ball, as well as standing and running without the ball.


    Trezeguet ran back and forth between the two central defenders, immediately after receiving the pass and began to pull and look for opportunities, Shevchenko interspersed back and forth in front of the defender line, when Trezeguet edged, Shevchenko Will also complete the transposition and top the center position. Nedved''s movement covers almost all areas. While supporting Pirlo, he can also press the penalty area when he is forward.


    The three rookies were dazzled. Before the numbers were dominant, they didn¡¯t think Nedved played really well. But when the numbers weren¡¯t dominant, the four of them had a reasonable division of labor and a clear sense of hierarchy. It¡¯s not just players who are pulling without the ball. Kongdang, also formed a tacit understanding with his teammates in the choice of running position, they patiently and alertly looked for every trace of air defense.


    "If you need to strengthen the player''s personal breakthrough ability, then this game will be played on a smaller field, at the same time the number of offense will become 3, the defense is still 5 people."


    During Aldridge''s speech, Pirlo blocked the penalty area and was intercepted by Ferdinand. The latter kicked the ball to Zambrotta on the wing.


    Shevchenko immediately went to grab the Brotta, the latter out of the ball, the ball was cut off by Nedved on the route to Gattuso.


    "This game not only trains different numbers of offenses, but also trains anti-robbing after losing the ball, and must form a system. For example, just now, Shevchenko''s anti-robbing failed, but he forced Zambrotta to be first. Time to play, if the picture can be frozen, you will find that there is Shevchenko in front of Zambrotta. Passing to the middle is dangerous, and Trezeguet is pressing the back line. Zambrotta must go out The ball, his choice is to give the ball to Gattuso, and there, Nedved is waiting for him, this is a successful local defense system."


    "What about then?"


    "There are many ways. The two centre-backs come back immediately to answer. Zambrotta can also pass the ball back to the goalkeeper. If he has a wider field of vision, he can also pass the ball directly to another side. Mills is unmarked there. . In the game, most players will make a big foot clearance when he encounters him. I don¡¯t deny that this is an option, but it is definitely not a good choice, especially blindly. Once the opponent organizes a second attack, but on his own side The defensive formation has not been properly arranged, but dangerous."


    After Nedved succeeded in stealing, a straight plug directly handed the ball to Trezeguet who pressed the back line to defend the offside. In the speech of Aldridge, Trezeguet easily scored the ball.


    "Hey, Leo, Marco, did you relax just now?!"


    Aldridge smiled and shouted at the two central defenders.


    The two felt their heads helplessly, and Zambrotta raised his hand to apologize to his teammates.


    Everyone''s mind is relaxed, and they will inevitably slack off.


    After changing the mid-season training, Aldridge will definitely criticize them mercilessly. The defenders will breathe a sigh of relief after they have successfully defended. This is a very dangerous mentality, and we must be alert to the opponent¡¯s second quick launch after successful anti-robbing. Offensive, this kind of offense is even more deadly. The number of offenses and defenses in this confrontation game is constantly changing, so that the players¡¯ thinking of playing will not be rigid, and the situation is changing rapidly. If you want to strengthen defensive training, you will take more The defensive players allow players to learn 4 defense 5, 4 defense 6, 3 defense 4, 2 defense 3, and even 2 defense 4 and 3 defense 5, which directly test the sense of position selection, cooperate with tacit understanding, and defensive ability.


    Klose was very excited. He saw a lot of things that he could not see in the amateur team. The running positions like Trezeguet and Shevchenko made him amazed.


    This ability to run without the ball was trained after at least one or two seasons, instead of just running around without physical strength, without observing the teammate''s running position.


    Aldridge beckoned Barak not far away, allowing him to play to increase the number of defensive teams.


    This time it became 4 dozen 6.


    After Barack came on the court, he countered Pirlo, making him unable to organize an offensively. After the defensive formation contracted, the six-person defense had a layered and systematic system. The four-person group on Pirlo could not organize an effective attack. After Deveide took the ball and broke Gattuso, Materazzi saw the timing and broke the ball. The four quickly counter-robbed, but more defensive teams in the route of the ball steadily control the ball, smoothly. After the range was shifted, the ball was successfully passed ten times and the game was won.


    "Do you want to try it?"


    Aldrich asked three rookies with a smile.


    All three nodded and said they wanted to show up.


    Aldridge first put Van der Meade on the court and added an offensive team, which turned into 5 6 again.


    Van der Mede stood on the left-wing position after playing. He wanted to show his foot skills after receiving the ball for the first time. However, Mills squeezed his position out of the post without a finish and lost control of the ball. The defending team quickly kicked the ball, and after ten passes, the victory came.


    Van der Mede looked depressed, but Mills spread his hands helplessly.


    He felt that the Dutchman was too soft.


    Withdrawing a defender, Gattuso came down to rest.


    Continue to 5 of 5.


    Van der Mede''s performance is too bad, even if the number of people is equal, but he wants to express himself too much, and he must lose the ball five seconds after taking the ball on the wing. Mills will block his route even if he has been stopped and taken. Superior.


    For a while, the old teammates felt that the Dutch kid was too weak!


    Nedved and Trezeguet took the initiative to go to the left to help him, and let Van der Mede''s lack of running consciousness be exposed.


    Duff and Klose also went up and tried one after another. As a result, the three rookies were very disappointed and their confidence suffered a great blow.


    Even Klose, who was tall and thin, was knocked down by Materazzi.


    If you use a 10-point system to score three people.


    The technical skill scores of all three are between 4 and 6.


    Body and team consciousness may not even reach 3 points.


    "Don''t be discouraged, you are all under 20 years old, and naturally have a gap with them."


    Aldridge smiled and comforted the three people who were very hurt in the heart. Furthermore, if these three are all good, will Miller get a shot?


    Klose pointed to Trezeguet and said, "But he doesn''t look much older than me."


    Aldridge laughed: "Oh, he is 20 years old in three months. The reason why he is stronger than you and performs well, talent is only one aspect. The most important thing is that he has worked hard here for the past three years. You look closely at the other players, are they of great shape?"


    The three looked at the other players, Nedved, Schneider, Ballack, Lampard, Fanny, Shevchenko, etc. If Millwall is not a football club, he can definitely go to the group to participate in the male model selection. .


    "When they take off their clothes, you will find that they not only have no fat on their bodies, but also have clear and beautiful muscle lines. The club introduced a scientific physical training mechanism two years ago. The coaching team sends people to study and exchange physical training abroad every year. Methods, their efforts and scientific training methods, so they become stronger than the average player, you can also in the future."


    On the first day of training, these three players had a more detailed understanding of Millwall and realized the gap between them and this team. Aldridge did not plan to give them off, but just let them recognize early Clear reality can make them sink their hearts and try to catch up with the pace of their teammates.


    Ronaldinho suddenly ran to Aldridge and asked with a smile: "Boss, when will I make my Premier League debut?"


    Aldridge looked weirdly at the sweaty Brazilian guy and asked, "Why do you ask this?"


    "You tell me, I''m so prepared."


    "Are you ready? Are you mistaken? It''s not that you have prepared, but I said you can do it. I think you won''t give you time when you do, you have to give me!"


    "Yes, yes, you told me to go, I will definitely go! When will you go?"


    Aldridge felt his chin and said, "What was your stats for the youth team last season?"


    Ronaldinho blurted out: "21 goals and 18 assists."


    "Well, when can you play a double 20+ transcript in the reserve team, I will let you play in the Premier League."


    "what?!"


    Ronaldinho was dumbfounded and then anxious, asking: "Why? I played in the FA Cup final a few months ago!"


    Aldrich said seriously: "That''s different. When you went up, we played one more person, and the score was ahead. If you think that the level of the Youth League and the Premier League can be directly equated, it is that you have not woke up. Go first. Let¡¯s look at the reserve team¡¯s performance. If you don¡¯t perform well in the reserve team¡¯s training game, how can I let you play in the Premier League? Andre scored 19 goals in 20 games in the reserve team last year. Not confident?"


    Ronaldinho was a little lost, but he quickly regained his spirit and pointed to Aldridge with some arrogant shouts: "You are waiting! Double 20+ will be double 20+! I can do it in less than half a year!"


    Aldridge shrugged and said, "Goals and assists are no less important."


    Ronaldinho turned to the reserve team coach Capo and asked about the list of players for the new season reserve team.


    When he learned that there were often players in the reserve team, such as Lampard, Gattuso, Ferdinand, and Glenchard, Ronaldinho was more confident.


    This is not at the same level as the youth teammates.


    "Boss, I was wrong just now! Three months! I can do it in three months!"


    Aldridge smiled.


    If Ronaldinho thinks that the reserve team''s league level is not high, it is a big mistake. If it is a reserve league match, it still dies, but the reserve team of the Premier League level, but a group of substitute players of the first-line professional clubs in order to enter There are also many games where the hard work of the game is on the big list. There are many games where the stars recover after the injury, which is equivalent to the competition between the Premier League clubs. The intensity is sometimes stronger than the Premier League, because everyone has to choose the right position. Fight hard.


    Only when he has a firm footing there can he possibly enter the big roster.

 Chapter 242： Dutch giants are angry

    Millwall''s pre-season preparations proceeded in an orderly manner, and at the end of July also kicked off the prelude to the friendly match.


    The Scottish giants Celtic were invited last summer, and the Glasgow Rangers were invited this summer.


    In the first game, Millwall easily defeated his opponent at home, and the players who returned from vacation quickly recovered the game through training.


    The second friendly match was also played at home, Aldridge invited the Ligue 1 champion Monaco to London as a guest last season.


    The day before the game, Aldridge personally greeted Monaco coach Tijana at the door of the club. The latter, after Wenger, once again let Monaco win the Ligue 1 and became famous for a while.


    In the new season, Monaco will also participate in the Champions League. Like Millwall, they are unfamiliar with the Champions League, so everyone should be more familiar with different styles of teams.


    Tigana was very interested in Millwall who overturned Paris Saint-Germain last season. In the face of Aldrich''s invitation, he agreed without hesitation.


    Outside the club''s door, Tigana looked up with interest to see the giant posters hanging on the main building.


    "Millwall is really star-studded now."


    He sighed heartily.


    The poster is the background of the crazy lion team emblem, and there is a flame eruption effect rendering. The upper body photos of the five people of Larson, Nedved, Makelele, Southgate, and Lampard appear in the poster.


    This is a strategy that football clubs have always advertised.


    Basically, it will not display only one player on the promotional map, but will promote the club culture from many angles.


    For example, among these five, Southgate and Lampard represent local power. Lampard also symbolizes youth, Makelele is a black man, Larson is a hot super forward, and Nedvide is a spiritual leader.


    Aldrich invited Tigana to celebrate in his office. Tigana is only 42 years old. He is naturally a young man in the coaching industry. He coached the team a year earlier than Aldrich. The starting point is also high. The season reached a new height in his coaching career, and he took away the league runner-up by 12 points to win the championship.


    The two were full of expectations for the future UEFA Champions League. They also tried to analyze the current situation of the various European teams. In the high-level talk, only some regrets that Fernandes, who watched the game together a year ago, was laid off by Tigana and Aldridge Too.


    It is Paris Saint-Germain that Monaco is suppressing, and Millwall also made the defending champions of the Winners Cup defeat in the European War.


    The next day, the Lion''s Cave Stadium.


    The stadium stands are full of seats, fans are enjoying the game with a relaxed attitude, and the TV stations are also rushing to broadcast this warm-up match between the Premier League champions and the Ligue 1 champions. They compare this to the two teams that will appear in the Champions League next season. Warm up the team.


    Aldrich''s attitude towards the warm-up match has always been very indifferent. Training and adjusting the state can''t be said to test the team''s strength, because the opponent may not follow you.


    However, this kind of warm-up game will not work, and players must have a mental foreshadowing and mentality adjustment that is about to enter a tense and intense season.


    The two teams played very open today. The Ligue 1 team has laid the Latin style as the mainstream since the era of Platini. Millwall is also a European style, and there is a trend of peaking and fainting. The team collided together, and if it wasn''t forbidden, the scene would naturally be very exciting.


    The two sides have come and gone, and the game was played with bamboo flowers, scoring goals one by one.


    Aldrich was sitting on the coach seat in sportswear. From the dress, he could see his attitude, even talking and laughing with the coaches.


    "Aldridge, opposite the young winger, let''s pay for it! It feels more important than Van der Med in the new season."


    Benitez said to Aldridge suddenly and seriously.


    Aldridge knows who the other person is without looking at it.


    Future King of Highbury: Henry!


    Since his debut, Henry is still playing as a winger, but he has shown a very good quality.


    Strictly speaking, Wenger did not help Henry much during the Monaco period, but after all, he discovered the other party¡¯s excellent potential. Under Tigana, Henry gradually stood out, not only became the team¡¯s main force, but also entered the national team. World Cup train.


    Aldridge smiled bitterly: "I wanted to buy him three years ago, but people didn''t sell it. Just a month ago, when I was in France, I specifically asked Tigana: Petit, you don''t It was sold at three million pounds, Henry, I gave four million pounds, what? The other party refused."


    Benitez glanced at Tigana on the coach seat next door, wondering: "Aren''t you familiar with him? He sold the French national team''s main midfielder back to Wenger so cheaply. Why? Can''t open the back door for you? Four million pounds is not low, I think you can increase the price."


    Aldridge shrugged and shook his head without saying anything.


    Four million pounds is indeed not low for Henry, now 20 years old.


    Henry and Ronaldo will be world-class strikers, but the 20-year-old Henry and the 20-year-old Ronaldo, both in terms of fame and ability, have a big gap, so Ronaldo can be worth 20 million pounds this summer, while Henry, Audrey Qi believes that the value will not exceed six million pounds.


    It¡¯s just that it¡¯s not about money. It¡¯s because Tigana doesn¡¯t sell.


    It''s not that Aldridge has a bad relationship, but that the relationship is not deep enough, and Aldridge doesn''t want to owe humanity.


    Wenger''s contacts in France can only be compared with Aldridge drinking wine with others.


    Fernandes was neither stupid nor blind, but Anelka sent ¡ê500,000 to Wenger.


    Petit is not an unknown soldier. From his debut, he has been a high-profile star in France. He has played for the national team since he was 19 years old. He is 27 years old this year. It is the golden age of the players. There is also the halo of the Ligue 1 championship last season. But Monaco sent people to Arsenal for less than three million pounds.


    Even more exaggerated is Guy Lu, who not only promised to train Wenger as a rookie, he even went to Africa to build a football school after retirement, and helped Wenger to gather good players in Africa.


    Therefore, Arsenal under Wenger has a clear French brand, and he can¡¯t blame his special love for French players. The good goods in the transfer market are not cheap. Wenger, who has spent a lot of time and money, can get good players with high cost performance from France. Why bother to be a big injustice?


    This is the energy of the industry''s contacts. Aldrich was born, and he was neither highly respected nor player background able to weave a football network in his long career. He could only make step by step and make friends with the appetite coach He came to Japan and said that he might become a coach with a huge network of relationships when the quantitative change happened qualitatively.


    When the warm-up match came to an end, the fans applauded the players of the two teams with satisfaction.


    4:4.


    Eight goals combined with back and forth attacks, the fans enjoyed a scoring feast.


    As the footsteps of the new season are drawing nearer, the expectations that fans have accumulated in the summer have also begun to be released. The best proof is that all the warm-up games can be filled.


    Aldrich chatted with Tigana for a while. He was more honest and pursued Henry twice. Even if he didn''t get it, Wenger rejected him the first time and Tigana the second time.


    After finishing this warm-up match, the next week they have no plans to play, just wait to practice the state with the community shield before the opening of the league.


    However, Aldridge came across his head when he didn''t expect unplanned things.


    On the evening of the farewell of Monaco, Adam ran to his house with a serious face and solemnly told him: Ajax was angry over there!


    In the summer, Van Gaal went to Barcelona to pursue his new career. This was a huge turbulent period for Ajax. After all, Van Gaal spent six years in Ajax and trained a large number of stars in the Ajax line.


    Ajax was busy in the summer to deal with the departure of the meritorious coach, and his work on the youth team players signing professional contracts was slowed down. When Olson took office, he clarified his work and then when he went to review the youth team, he suddenly found that: Where did VanderMead''s high hopes go?


    Only then did they realize that Van der Meide not only did not sign, but also went directly to London, where he already had a team with his new teammates at Millwall.


    In the case where the main players of the Ajax club have been taken away for free for two consecutive seasons, even the good seedlings of the youth team are now taken away for free, which makes them unbearable!


    Can''t bear it!


    That''s the basis of their survival!


    Millwall was taken over there: come up with a solution, otherwise, I will go to UEFA and FIFA will sue you!


    He heard this and Aldridge regretted it.


    In terms of contract procedures, the contract between Van der Med and Ajax expired, and Millwall signed the contract with the other party afterwards. The time between the two is no problem.


    But the mistake was wrong. When Aldridge went to Amsterdam to contact VanderMead, the apprenticeship contract between VanderMead and Ajax had not yet expired.


    Although there are no other personal evidences or other evidences, from the time, Aldridge went to the Netherlands, and Van der Mede packed his luggage to London. I knew from the check of the immigration time that Van der Mede really came to London before the end of June.


    At this time, the rules for international transfers have not been particularly detailed, especially FIFA and UEFA are more troublesome to deal with the impact of the post-Bosman rule, and there are not so detailed rules for the transfer of young players, especially 18 An international transfer ban for players under the age of 10 was also introduced ten years later.


    But Ajax really wanted to make trouble, and it was not without reason. In the sense of reason, they are all the victims'' side. If they can''t even get a training fee, Millwall is really a robber in the public.


    Aldridge sat opposite Adam at home. He closed his eyes and asked: "How does the other party want to solve? It should be the problem of money. Tell them that Millwall paid 300,000 pounds to compensate them."


    Adam whispered: "The boss, although it''s a matter of money, Ajax doesn''t want to collect money directly."


    "Huh? What do you mean?"


    "I guess, they don''t want to make a big deal. If this matter is very well known, then other top European teams don''t all go to them to entice young talents? They want to deal with it in a low-key manner, but the matter will not be announced. We also have to make compensation."


    Aldrich scratched his head, and he couldn''t think of a solution to such a thing.


    The transactions between clubs and clubs have accounts, and cross-border transactions, once there is a financial review, if the explanation is unclear, it is a hidden danger.


    Ajax didn''t want to publicize it, Aldridge was happy, and he didn''t want to damage Millwall''s reputation.


    "Wait a minute, I will ask the professionals."


    In the football world, Audridge thinks that the most professional person is Andrew.


    As expected, he called Andrew and put the matter briefly, and Andrew immediately gave him a trick.


    After putting down the phone, Aldridge smiled and said to Adam: "Giving back to Ajax, we will go to Amsterdam to play a friendly match with Ajax. The tickets are all theirs. Not enough, promise to play again in the next two years, the conditions are the same."


    When Adam heard it, he immediately understood.


    According to the value of Millwall''s Triple Crown, not everyone can be invited to play in a friendly match.


    This is normal after a few years. The big clubs play friendly games, and all have clearly marked entrance fees.

 Chapter 243： Ronaldinho

    I just negotiated a friendly match agreement with Ajax, who was bitter and bitter, although it was oral, but at least there was a resolution for the VanderMead incident.


    In the early morning of the next day, Aldridge was dressed up and ready to go to work in the club. As soon as the door was opened, the chaotic scene came into sight.


    A group of reporters blocked his door and bombarded him with questions.


    "Mr. Hall, is there any violation of Ronaldinho''s joining Millwall?"


    "Someone questioned his eligibility to compete in England, what response did Millwall have to this?"


    "There is no record of Ronaldinho''s transfer from Brazil to Millwall on the FA side. Is he qualified to play?"


    ...


    Aldridge was stunned at first. After the reporters bombed the question, he could roughly understand what was going on.


    Silently retreat to the door, slamming the door shut.


    At the same time, the phone at home rang.


    Aldridge frowned to answer the phone. As soon as he picked up the microphone, he heard Ronaldinho shouting over the phone: "Boss, my house is surrounded by reporters! What should I do?"


    "No matter what others ask you, don''t answer!"


    "Oh oh, do I still go to training today?"


    "Of course, you don''t want to be lazy."


    "Hehehe, have you seen through?"


    ...


    Aldrich should be happy at this time. Fortunately, Ronaldinho''s family returned to Brazil. Even his sister was not used to living here and could not integrate into the environment and returned to her hometown with her parents.


    His family is sure that Ronaldinho will have good development here. After all, his first professional contract in his life has a weekly salary of 5,000 pounds. Ronaldinho can give his family half in Brazil as long as he gives half of his salary to his family. Live a carefree life, and his brother is still playing football in Brazil.


    If his family is still here, there will be people with big mouths if they are in trouble.


    Aldridge picked up the phone and called the staff of the club, intending to understand the whole story, which made him a little bored.


    There was a knock on the door.


    Aldridge looked at the person through the cat''s eyes and opened the door.


    Ewen, who appeared elegant and elegant in a thin skirt and a black skirt wearing a lady''s shirt, walked in. After the door closed, Aldridge dropped the phone.


    She opened the door immediately: "A newspaper on Fleet Street published an article questioning Ronaldinho''s qualifications for English professional players. Recently, it was the low season for football news. This article was quickly followed up by other major newspapers and tabloids. ."


    Aldrich sat down with Erlang''s legs thinking about countermeasures, and Yiwen also sat next to him, asking, sideways, in doubt: "Is he really transferring illegally? To be honest, if it was not for him to participate in Brazil on behalf of the summer In the World Junior Games, we all thought he was an English player."


    Although Ronaldinho has a non-British mainstream name, coupled with his skin color, the United Kingdom was originally a country with many immigrants, especially London, an international metropolis where people from all over the world are rushing. East London is even worse, it is simply immigrants landing on the beach Foothold.


    Many of Aldridge¡¯s friends, such as Sol and Fred, are also black, but they are all second-generation immigrants. They are authentic British in their self-knowledge. The former has a European name and the latter is from the Latin American department. first name.


    Ronaldinho appeared in the Millwall youth team before the age of 16, and did not officially enter the Millwall first team official guide booklet. There will be a lot of information other than players, including player name, nationality, Past performance and so on.


    Basically, the fans of the crazy lion think Ronaldinho is an Englishman, but did not expect Ronaldinho to shine in the World Junior Games in the summer. With a certain reputation, the fans suddenly realized that he was a Brazilian, no wonder he has such beautiful feet law.


    The fans knew it, and they had no other ideas.


    But some good people are different.


    Brazilian?


    Can the Brazilian play football casually in England?


    To whom is the labor certification system established?


    How did Ronaldinho get to Millwall?


    After this series of questions lingered in my mind, it became a conspiracy theory.


    For example, the FA opened a backdoor to ignore the labor certification system, and for example, Millwall¡¯s introduction of Ronaldinho was illegal.


    When I asked Aldrich by text, I naturally wanted to know the truth.


    "Transfer? Where is there any transfer. Ronaldinho didn''t even have a contract before coming to the UK. He didn''t belong to any Brazilian club at all. Need a transfer?"


    Aldrich said nothing, and Yiwen then asked: "Is it directly signed? But he doesn''t have an EU passport."


    Aldrich shook his head and finished telling Yiwen the cause and effect, and then he also wanted to understand how he should respond.


    This group of reporters who care about salty radishes cares about what they do.


    What Aldridge didn¡¯t know was that there was a pusher behind this incident, and it was Millwall¡¯s rival, Chelsea.


    Bates was very worried about Ronaldinho''s stunning appearance in the FA Cup final. In the summer, he not only bought people for the club to enhance his strength, but also wanted to seduce a few Millwall good players.


    Digging the enemy players is the most morale booster, especially the weaker side of the competition.


    But Millwall players are not interested in Chelsea, even Ronaldinho is no exception.


    Although Millwall has won the Premier League championship, the team is still in an upward trend. Everyone is going to fight hard and go to Chelsea!


    Either way, they have already left their names in the history of the Millwall Club, and if they work harder, they may become legends, Chelsea? Let''s take a look at the champion first.


    For this reason, after realizing that Ronaldinho¡¯s nationality is Brazil, Bates immediately arranged for someone to borrow the question. He is a savvy person. Chelsea will not stand up for such an early bird issue. Picking a head and following the British paparazzi''s habit of following the trend, the sparks can instantly form a prairie trend.


    This kind of disgusting thing, Bates really can do it, just like he sent a private investigator to investigate Dane, even if he can''t make a name, I will make you feel uncomfortable.


    Aldrich and Ewen left the apartment. The reporters were outside. He opened the garage door and threw the car key to Ewen. The other party drove, and he turned to face the reporters.


    Everyone knows that the young commander is about to speak, and suddenly he is quiet.


    Aldridge said calmly: "Ronaldinho''s qualification for the game is recorded in the FA. If he is not qualified to play for Millwall or play in the UK, you should question. The FA, in short, in the new season, Ronaldinho will still play for Millwall, because we have submitted the team list, the FA has also passed the list we submitted, please do not use this Boring things harass me and my players."


    At the end of the speech, Yiwen drove to the side of the road. Audrey pulled the co-pilot and sat in, and the car disappeared as soon as he smoked.


    The reporters looked at each other with different expressions.


    Some people are really lost.


    These reporters who run lace do not really care what Ronaldinho is. They just want to see the appearance of celebrity gaffes.


    If Aldrich says the wrong thing or becomes angry, such photos and news will definitely drive the newspaper sales more than Ronaldinho¡¯s topic.


    But who makes it the low season of football news? Apart from some transfer market news, there are no matches. The news of friendly matches is also accompanied by newspapers.


    Everyone happily went to the FA again.


    This time scared the FA, professional football as an independent industry, the FA belongs to a private institution, and it is almost unregulated, which makes this institution powerful, but at the same time, it is the most afraid of making things that dissatisfy the outside world. Once the pressure of public opinion is too great, government departments should intervene in the FA''s affairs, but this is something that everyone in the FA does not want to see.


    So for a whole day, the FA surveyed Ronaldinho''s registration information back and forth, and finally found nothing wrong.


    In the evening, a spokesperson of the Football Association came out to announce in a straightforward way: Ronaldinho has British nationality, and his effectiveness for the English club is fully in line with the regulations of the Football Association, and there is indeed no Ronaldi in the Football Association. Neo''s transfer is on record, because he has not been transferred, he joined Millwall as an innocent body.


    Aldrich shifted the focus to the FA. The FA also quickly and efficiently issued a statement in order to show its integrity, while also shifting the focus.


    They showed Ronaldinho¡¯s eligibility documents, including his British passport.


    Reporters, make trouble, you **** go make trouble.


    Continue to question, then go to the immigration office or the British Passport Office!


    Anyway, the FA did not go to verify Ronaldinho''s nationality qualifications are true or false.


    The FA is like a solitary fortress. Powerful and powerful FA figures hide inside without showing their heads, avoid friction with outside government departments, and resolutely resist outsiders from breaking their fortress and entering their Site.


    Even a lot of black gold incidents involving the football circle have become an opportunity for government departments to intervene in the management of the FA, but in the end it is gone, because the truth will bury professional football, which will make the image of English football more than the tragedy of football. The blows are even more than a thousand times. This is a matter for professional football in all countries. There is no government that dares to attack the football. Even during Mrs. Thatcher¡¯s administration, Taylor¡¯s report has rumored that there are two Version, the actual version is permanently sealed, or directly destroyed.


    For this reason, the Football Association played Tai Chi, and they displayed an impartial attitude, and finally let the outside world focus on the national government department.


    The reporters worked tirelessly to consult the immigration office and the passport office.


    In addition to the detailed information that cannot be disclosed, the answer given by the government department is also simple and clear: Ronaldinho has British citizenship.


    The reporters suddenly limped after getting this answer.


    My heart was full of anger: Which turtle grandson caused this matter in Mallor Gobi? Work like a clown!


    Aldridge figured out how to deal with this matter when he calmed down on the sofa early in the morning. If it wasn¡¯t for going to work in the morning, the reporters would be mad at him when he opened the door. He would forget his choice. What is the original intention of the Ronaldinho family to handle investment immigration?


    Whether it is the FA, UEFA, or FIFA, it is the football circle. If the player is transferred from one club to another, the smallest is managed by the national football association and the largest is covered by FIFA.


    But one person, one family goes from one country to another. This is beyond the control of the football community, and it will be very shy to deal with government departments.


    Aldrich initially smashed more than two million pounds on Ronaldinho, just didn''t want to have any worries.


    Who can control Ronaldinho''s family? The FA? UEFA FIFA? Even if you want to control, dare to challenge the British government and the EU?


    If someone doesn''t come to trouble you, you will burn high fragrance.


    As for the Ronaldinho family of immigrants who bought British bonds for two million pounds from British immigrants, let alone the FA dare not question, even if someone wants to use the question to play, the British government will not agree. Immigrants have a stable investment of two million pounds. He hates that there are many investment immigrants. This is beneficial to the strong recovery of the pound in the world. Who is full of support to clamor for the policies stipulated in the text.


    Ronaldinho had British nationality first, and then joined Millwall, no problem in the procedure.


    This does not involve transfers between clubs, Aldridge has enough confidence on this issue.


    At the end of the storm, Aldridge led his team to Amsterdam for the third pre-season warm-up match with Ajax.

 Chapter 244： The superstar will start from the doll

    Millwall came and went in a hurry, arrived in Amsterdam in the morning by plane, and played a friendly match with Ajax at the Arena Arena in the afternoon. After the game, he returned to London by plane and the team was disbanded at 8 pm.


    This friendly match ended with Millwall''s victory and did not give the Dutch giants a face-to-face sweep of Ajax 5:2.


    Originally, Aldridge let the players play freely with a relaxed mind, but Ajax was too serious. They took the posture that they must take this friendly match. Olsen just took office to rush to prove himself and completely ignore it. In addition to his control of the team and the defect of the tactical system caused by the departure of many core teams in the team, plus Ajax has always been used to playing 433 offensive football, this opponent Millwall is not afraid of, you are hitting a counterattack , Play the same five goals in the reconstruction of Ajax.


    The Dutch media lamented the sadness of the fall of the former giants. Two years ago, Ajax was still the king of Europe. Now at home, even Millwall, who has not played in the Champions League, can humiliate them.


    Fleet Street applauded Millwall for applause. Some people think that this is a milestone for Millwall to tear off the label of "Ajax in England". In addition to Millwall''s first team coaches, except for coaches Audridge and Benitez In addition, the other coaches are all from Ajax, and Millwall¡¯s style of play has also become his own, and began to make ¡°Milwall¡± a special synonym. When this word is mentioned, not only will this team come to mind, I also think of a passionate football style.


    Five days later, Millwall will participate in the final warm-up match before the opening of the Premier League: Community Shield.


    Aldridge, who returned to London after defeating Ajax, did not rush home, but came to the training base, where he had an office and other coaching staff shared one.


    Craig did not go to the Netherlands with the team, but stayed in the club to study the information sent by Andrew''s brokerage company.


    Tomorrow there will be a forgotten young player to try out training.


    In the coaching staff''s office, Aldridge had his arms around his chest, and his head gazed slightly at the video of the game on the TV.


    Craig is holding the remote control next to him, and from time to time fast forward the video, Craig will slow down when the player they will try tomorrow will appear in the camera, and it will come in slow motion. Let them analyze player performance.


    "From his running position, he still has a strong ability to read the game. However, as a striker, he has consciously avoided physical contact with the opponent''s defender and opposed the fight for the ball. At the same chance of more than 100 times, he only had 7 successes! That¡¯s why he was abandoned, but I think he shouldn¡¯t have been used that way.¡±


    Aldridge nodded from time to time as Craig elaborated.


    Through the long-distance camera footage in the game video, coupled with slow-motion, the coach can more accurately analyze the player''s every choice of running position and personal performance in the game, which intuitively reflects the player''s ability, unlike the promotion of many agents. Players sent to the club "excellent performance highlights video".


    Aldridge shook his head and said: "Liverpool makes people speechless. David Lamore received a technically-oriented instruction in the youth team. The Liverpool youth team also played a continental style tactic. After Lamor was seriously injured, Avoiding physical confrontation is a matter of reason. Even if there is a shadow in the heart, it can be improved by the guidance of a psychologist. It is a disastrous decision to lend him to Doncaster. When the player needs the club¡¯s care most, he let He went out to exercise alone, and Doncaster played the most traditional English football. Under this tactical system of high-lifting and long-passing rushing, Ramall played the role of column center, not that he performed badly. It¡¯s because the team level is too low. He doesn¡¯t have any teammates who can play at the same rhythm. He is obviously a piano player, but he is asked to clean the toilet..."


    Liverpool''s youth training concept is different from traditional England. During this period, rookies, Irving, Gerrard, Carragher, Thompson, etc., although in the ranks of the top players, they do not appear to be outstanding in technology, but in In English football, they are better than more than 99% of their peers in the same period. In special training, they also have outstanding advantages, such as the combination of Owen speed and shooting, Carragher body and balance.


    In such a youth training environment, David Lamore was able to suppress Owen. Although age is a very important factor, he could not deny his potential and the level of ability he had reached.


    In May last year, Irving gave Ramall a substitute, and then Ramor was seriously injured during training. After the injury, Irving has entered the first team. Ramor rented Doncaster in the second half of the season and scored one in 20 games. No ball, but Irving scored in his debut, rewriting the record of the youngest goal in the Premier League.


    Before Owen became famous, Ramall was a dazzling prodigy than Owen. One year later, the fate of the two turned upside down.


    Perhaps it was Ramall¡¯s poor performance in Doncaster¡¯s half goal that did not score in the last half of the season, which finally made Liverpool determined to give up the once-anticipated ¡°Tomorrow Superstar¡±.


    Looking at it from the shallowest point of view: he can''t score in the low-level league that Doncaster is in. Can he expect him to make a difference in Liverpool?


    But Aldridge didn''t see it that way. Ramall encountered difficulties. The physical and psychological impact of the serious injury must have made his career highly impacted.


    But his technical ability is still there, especially the invisible quality "game reading ability". This item is especially critical. There are many players with outstanding personal abilities who are very poor in this item. They show a kind of "myself" on the field. The effect of "playing gorgeously" is not contributing to the team, or even harming the interests of the team.


    Aldridge decided to give Ramall a chance. The striker, who is about to turn 20, can no longer play in the UK.


    The big teams are not interested in him. Even the small team of Doncaster''s level seems to have little interest in him. After all, the number of zero goals in half a season is too horrible.


    The lower-level club sent him an invitation letter, but Ramall could not accept it himself. The contract he received when he joined Liverpool at the age of 16 was higher than the bids of these small teams.


    Millwall is not stingy with young players. Even with a contract with a weekly salary of 500, a year¡¯s salary is less than 30,000 pounds. A million salary budget can train nearly 40 rookies, and Aldridge gives the youth team. The annual budget is 4 million, which includes salary and daily expenses.


    Like Millwall, who dare to spend more than 10% of operating income to invest in youth training, there is only one in England.


    The next day, Aldridge did not personally preside over the training of Ramall and handed it over to the youth team.


    A younger player with better talent than Ramall, the Millwall youth team grabbed a lot, but Ramor left an impression on Audridge last year, so he paid special attention to whether Ramall could be in Mill in the future. Wall kicked out, and Aldridge¡¯s expectation is not too high, just wait and see.


    The new season is about to kick off, and the players have gradually improved their status in the training ground. Everyone has very high expectations for the new season. They can¡¯t wait to set foot on the Champions League stage earlier.


    Even if the Champions League has experienced a new round of expansion, the number of participating teams has risen from 16 to 24, but the level of the event has not declined. On the contrary, the competitiveness has improved, because the league champions and runner-ups of powerful countries have the opportunity to participate and can let Some of the more competitive runner-up teams have also set foot on this stage, such as Serie A, and Barcelona after last season''s league goal scoring a hundred but ultimately helplessly can only rank Real Madrid.


    Stimulated by the Champions League stage, the players'' fighting spirit is more vigorous than last season.


    After a day of training, Aldridge and the coaches went to pick up the **** scattered around the stadium.


    At this moment, a Mercedes-Benz entered the training base and stopped in front of the office building. Andrew, who had not seen him for a long time, got out of the car and appeared. Then he opened the rear door and smiled and brought two young teenagers of about ten years old Came out.


    The three came to the training ground, the two teenagers looked around curiously, and Andrew gently touched the heads of the two with his left and right hands.


    Aldridge finished picking the ball, turned back to see Andrew, and at the same time saw the two teenagers looking away, and he felt an excitement in his heart.


    With a growing smile on his face, Aldridge walked in front of Andrew, first bent down to greet the boy on the left formally, and extended his right hand to shake hands.


    "Hey, do you like people calling you KUN, right? Hello, my name is Audrey Hall. If you like it, you can play here. There are a lot of good teenagers."


    Aldridge uses Spanish. Although it is different from the Spanish in Argentina, there is generally no problem in communication.


    The teenager stared at Aldridge with his head in a serious way: "Boss, I will play well here."


    After speaking, he reached out and shook hands with Aldridge, but he couldn''t hold Aldridge''s hand in one hand, so both hands were used.


    Aldridge was surprised. He glared at Andrew, knowing that it must have been taught by the other party.


    Moving to the other side, Aldridge looked at the young boy with a pretty face and smiled: "Leo, I know you are sick, but don¡¯t be frustrated, everyone will be sick, you will recover soon here, I hope You enjoy football here."


    Andrew touched his head with two hands, the former was 9-year-old Aguero, and now Aldridge is facing 10-year-old Messi.


    Messi has been diagnosed with a lack of developmental hormones, treatment is only the most basic aspect, more important is his future growth, Aldridge will let him get the best medical care here, and at the same time to help him grow In addition, a coaching team should be set up to make special plans for his situation.


    The 10-year-old Messi''s eyes are now shrouded in darkness, and he can''t see any glory.


    Unlike Cristiano Ronaldo who took up the family''s hopes since childhood, Messi''s growing pressure comes more from the spirit and body.


    Even in the original history, 11-year-old Messi was diagnosed with a disease, required years of treatment and daily tireless special training, and was thin among his peers because of his short stature. His road to success It is also an admirable history of inspiration.


    When meeting Aldridge for the first time, Messi nodded gently without saying a word.


    Aldridge is no surprise, because of his personality, even when Messi becomes a football superstar in the future, he still shows an introverted personality.


    Taking these two teenagers to the youth team to report in person, Aldridge gave them the same dormitory.


    Millwall¡¯s dormitory for young players is a family-style apartment. Everyone has a shared large living room and dining room. There is a room for two people. The first floor of the dormitory has indoor small courts and a gym, swimming pool and other facilities.


    When entering the dormitory building, it was almost time to eat, but Aldridge stopped. Messi and Aguero, like him, looked at the open indoor court, and only one of them faced down Like a watery boy, he faced the wall three meters away, repeatedly kicking the ball with his left foot towards the wall.


    Kick, catch, kick, catch...all with the left foot.


    I found someone at the door. The teenager stepped on the ball and turned his head to look over. He said hello to Aldridge, and then glanced at Aguero and Messi.


    Aldridge said to Messi and Aguero: "His name is Cristiano Ronaldo. At the age of 12, you will be teammates."

 Chapter 245： Start the new season!

    After arranging the room for Messi and Aguero, it was time to eat, and Audridge first left, intending to let these two little ones take the initiative to adapt to the environment here.


    Without adult leadership, they will instinctively integrate here.


    Aldridge came downstairs to the first floor. When he passed by the indoor court and saw Ronaldo playing against the wall, he walked over and said, "It''s time to eat, rest."


    Ronaldo stopped the ball, sweating already on his body, and said with some frustration: "Coach Mullenstin made me insist on kicking the wall with my left foot for an hour every day. I don''t know what it means."


    Aldrich heard his complaint, and understood it.


    The training is boring, so coaches will often rack their brains to design some interesting training, which can not only improve the training enthusiasm of the players, but also achieve the training effect.


    However, some of the most basic training, no matter how boring, must allow players to insist on completion.


    "Do you know who Ronaldinho is?"


    Ronaldo bent down and picked up the ball, with a light expression: "I know, that Brazilian, he is very powerful, but I must be more powerful than him in the future."


    Aldrich shook his head and said: "If you don''t insist on such training, you can''t be more powerful than him. When he first came to the team, he showed amazing talent, but his feet are not balanced enough, you It is impossible to understand the importance of bipedal balance now. If you can only play with your right foot in the future, then in the game, your opponent will more easily limit your play in defense, forcing you to use your left foot touch more The ball, and then, waiting for your left foot to control the ball. Ronaldinho overcomes this, except for the obvious technical gap between his feet in the shooting link, but in the dribbling to control the ball and short pass, etc. In the technical aspect, you can hardly tell which foot is his non-dominant foot, which makes his threat of ball rise straight, because the opponent cannot predict which foot he will use to complete the next action."


    Ronaldo frowned and thought for a moment. When he matured prematurely, he seriously considered Aldridge''s words, and finally depressed the impetuous mentality. Then he looked up and asked, "How long has he been training like this?"


    "Training with your left foot for an hour and a half every day, he persisted for a year without interruption. You are still young, the training time should not be too long, listen to the coach¡¯s arrangement, Mullensteen will make you excellent, so, listen His, don¡¯t question it, hard work is enough.¡±


    Ronaldo nodded solemnly, and then walked out of the indoor court with Aldridge. He went to the shower to take a shower, and then went to the restaurant to eat.


    Aldridge went back to his office, and Andrew was waiting in the office.


    "Is everything done in Spain done?"


    After returning to the office, Aldridge opened the door and asked with a smile.


    Andrew put down a magazine and sat on the sofa with Erlang''s legs: "Well, Rivaldo''s personal treatment has been negotiated. The rest is the transfer fee between Barcelona and A Coru?a."


    Ronaldo transferred to Inter Milan as early as July, and Barcelona locked in Rivaldo in the search for a replacement. Although the transfer fee has not been negotiated, personal treatment has been negotiated in private, waiting for the transfer between clubs. Consensus was reached.


    The two brothers left the club together for dinner at a high-end restaurant in the city.


    The two chatted about what had happened in the last two months. Audrey spoke out of his experiences in various European countries. Andrew heard him robbed on the streets of Rome and laughed happily.


    Next, Andrew also told Audrey about the introduction of Aguero and Messi.


    Aguero''s side is not difficult, but in the same period, the Argentine giants wanted to allow Aguero to be trained in the lower echelon.


    However, it is obviously impossible for the independent team to provide high treatment for the 9-year-old Aguero. This kind of "children''s" training is mostly the opportunity for the club to provide high treatment for young players.


    The Aguero family counted as brothers and sisters, there are more than ten people, they live in slums, apparently have no patience to wait for Aguero to become a star and let them get rid of poverty and become rich.


    From slums to London, it is the same as going straight to heaven from hell. Moreover, Andrew has given more sincerity than they can afford: Immigration to the UK, don¡¯t worry about investment, five years later, the original British debt of two million pounds, you Sell ??if you want to sell, keep it if you don''t want to sell, it''s all yours anyway!


    Messi¡¯s side was more complicated. Andrew found someone to pretend to be a Boca youth scout, and found Messi ¡°by accident¡±, and then asked him to go to training, but underwent a medical examination, and unexpectedly found Messi suffering from Lack of developmental hormones, "Boca Youth" dispelled interest in Messi.


    After waiting for half a month, when Messi''s family sought medical treatment, Andrew came to the door and sent out an invitation letter without hesitation. The other party agreed without hesitation, and fearing Andrew''s remorse, he urged Andrew to arrange for them to come to the UK as soon as possible, so that Messi got the best treatment.


    Although there are some shady means, Aldridge doesn''t think there is any problem. Judging from the results, Messi''s earlier treatment and targeted growth training are beneficial to him.


    At the end of the chat, the two mentioned the eldest brother Barnett who hadn''t seen him for almost half a year.


    He stayed in the United States for half a year. He didn''t even call his family for more than a month in the past. It was really busy and crazy.


    Andrew''s words were full of complaints both inside and outside, Aldridge probably could guess some, the Asian financial turmoil kicked off, and the big brother is making a fortune in the United States through the financial war.


    The day before the Community Shield game, the training ended early. At the Leo training base, the players put on neat and clean jerseys and lined up one by one.


    The coaching team headed by Aldrich also wore dark blue sportswear. The coaching staff sat together. The players were standing behind them, facing the camera, and smiling and holding their heads.


    The photographer took a "family portrait" of the new season for them.


    The youth team was also taking pictures, each echelon took a group photo, and then all came to take a group photo with Zhang Da.


    Not finished yet, Aldridge asked the photographer to take a group photo with all Millwall players.


    The youthful youths of the youth team came to the training ground of the first team. The small players who usually twitched and all became quiet suddenly. They were probably shocked by the first-team star gas field. Their eyes were frequently thrown at Larson. , Nedvide, Southgate and other stars, both awe and longing in their eyes.


    Because there are more than one hundred people in the queue, there are more at random.


    Aldridge stood in the middle of the crowd, smiling with his arms around his chest, crowded in front and back.


    At the forefront of the team, C Luo sat cross-legged on the turf, and his face was cruel with his cheeks in one hand. Messi and Aguero stood on the edge of the front row with their arms around each other. The expressions of the two teenagers were very serious.


    Under the action of the videographer comparing his thumbs, this photo taken in early August 97 became what Millwall and even the world football would call the classic "family portrait" in the future.


    Aldridge was full of pride in the moment the photo was taken.


    Millwall not only has the present, but also has the future. He is very convinced that Millwall will become the most powerful super giant on the planet!


    Attachment: Millwall 1997-1998 first-team roster goalkeepers: Butt, Keller, Wright.


    Guards: Schneider, Mills, Elgra, Southgate, Ferdinand, Materazzi, Zambrotta, Capdevila, Neal.


    Midfielders: Makelele, Gattuso, Pirlo, Barack, Lampard, Nedved.

    London, Wembley.


    Millwall arrived here to prepare for the final warm-up match before the opening of the league. At least in the mind of Aldridge, this is a warm-up match.


    Since Millwall won the league and the FA Cup last season, this community shield, which is regarded as a domestic championship last season, will be played by the league champion and the league runner-up.


    Millwall vs Manchester United.


    An hour before the game, more than 80% of the seats in the stands are empty, and players from both sides warm up on the court.


    Aldridge stayed in the locker room to prepare for pre-match training. He seemed more relaxed. At this time, someone knocked on the door. After opening the door, Jenson found that he was a Manchester United player. Jenson did not think that the other party was going to the wrong place. Instead, he smiled at the other party: "I haven''t seen you in a long time, Ole, how have you been recently?"


    Baby-faced Solskjaer took the initiative to visit the Millwall locker room. He respectfully greeted every coach who had trained him before, and then came to Aldridge. The former mentor and apprentice asked about each other¡¯s situation. Erskea once again congratulated Aldridge.


    Even though he has put on the Red Devils shirt, his relationship with the Millwall coaching staff is very good. When he performs well at Manchester United, Aldridge will send a private text message to congratulate him. If he is injured or performs badly, Austria Derich also sent text messages to condolences.


    Even Pires and Vieira, who had some unpleasant troubles with Audridge during the transfer, lined up to the Millwall locker room before Arsenal and Millwall last season, mostly expressing gratitude. In any case, Millwall cultivated them. Maybe Vieira did not play much in the official game, but it does not mean that he was treated unfairly in Millwall.


    And like Phillips who has transferred to Sunderland, he has also kept close contact with Audridge. He often tells Audridge about his problems in Sunderland, hoping to listen to Audridge''s suggestions.


    Aldridge will not take the initiative to point fingers at players on other teams, but if his former disciples want to listen to his teachings, Aldridge will not be stingy to spend some time helping them.


    After chatting with Solskjaer for more than ten minutes, Babyface left the Millwall locker room with satisfaction.


    This kind of etiquette or old-style visit before the game is very time-critical. Basically, it is not possible within half an hour before the game, because it may be mistaken for a spy, so the baby face comes early and leaves early.


    When Aldridge appeared on the sidelines of Wembley Stadium, the fans of the mad lions in the stands welcomed him with warm applause.


    The community shield competition symbolizes the arrival of a new season in the Premier League.


    Aldrich stood in front of the coach as usual, and his sharp eyes seemed to declare: 97/98 season, start the battle!

 Chapter 246： Fight wisely

    Since the transfer of Stam at the end of last season, Audridge and Ferguson broke out in a verbal conflict, in addition to Ferguson sent a text message at the end of the season congratulations to Millwall, the other two no communication, the relationship dropped to freezing point.


    The same was true for this community shield today. The two shook hands as they walked through the field before the game, and then returned to their respective positions without even having direct eye contact.


    Aldrich has his own principles. Others respect him, and he will respect others. For the players who seduce him before the end of the Manchester United season, this can never be tolerated and forgiven.


    If it is another club, Aldridge will not put the blame on the coach, but Ferguson is almost one-handed in Manchester United, and he is in charge of every transfer.


    After the players from both sides entered the field, the commentator figured out the importance the two teams attached to the game from the formation of the coaches of the two teams.


    "Wembley will stage a community shield match last year in the Premier League crown and runner-up last year, which means that the new Premier League is not far away from us. Millwall and Manchester United are both new season champions, but this game today It can be seen from the starting list we have seen that Hall is using the community shield to train troops for a stronger purpose, and Ferguson wants the team to enter the state early to find confidence from the Triple Crown team. Millwall starts as follows : Goalkeeper Butt, defender Schneider, Elgra, Southgate, Zambrotta, midfielder Gattuso, Barak, Nedvide, forward Larsson, Fanny, Glennshire . Their staff is neat, but Hall still puts the main players such as Makelele, Trezeguet, Shevchenko on the bench. Manchester United is different, Ferguson discharged their strongest lineup, goalkeeper : Schmeichel, defenders: Neville, Pallist, Stam, Elvin, midfielder Beckham, Scholes, Keane, Giggs, striker Cole, Sheringham. This season, Manchester United were double-killed in the Millwall League, and the classic game of homeless battering was still vivid. Ferguson definitely hopes that his disciples will find their confidence in Millwall and defeat the powerful defending champion to start the new season. Prologue, this is exactly what he wanted."


    Aldridge probably guessed the opponent''s mind when he saw the lineup from Manchester United, but his relaxed mentality does not mean that he also asked the players to relax. This is the last warm-up match before the new season and gave the players mentally. For some excitement, at least Millwall has to achieve 80% of the overall performance last season.


    The rhythm was very fast at the beginning of the game, and both teams were known for playing fast.


    After a dozen minutes of observation, Aldridge turned and walked back to the coach''s seat, bowing his head to communicate with Benitez.


    "Did you notice the change at Manchester United?"


    "The player''s running range is larger than last season, the overall contraction during defense, the formation from the defense to the offense quickly expanded, through the two-wing attack, the right side is driven by Beckham, the left side is mainly by Giggs breakthrough, Sheringham and Cole It is a position in tandem. Scholes dispatched the attack to cover the entire midfield. When the attack reached the front, he would intervene to participate in the final attack."


    "The four defenders basically don''t attack, and Keane is completely defensive. I don''t know how the five of Manchester United''s offensive players can perform. If they maintain the current rhythm, can they still run in the last 20 minutes of the game? Moving is a question."


    "I think it''s okay. At Old Trafford nine months ago, our six-ball blood washing Manchester United, Ferguson can definitely see our physical advantage, if other aspects are behind, the coach may have no way, but this physical fitness is strict An indicator that training can catch up with, he cannot be ignored."


    "Well, it makes sense. What is the weak link in Manchester United''s current formation?"


    "Two full-backs."


    "Oh, what I see is the same."


    Aldridge smiled and returned to the sidelines, taking advantage of the dead ball to call Glenshire to the front to make some careful deployment.


    Manchester United''s current lineup, Keane has a tough defense, Scholes will also withdraw widely on defense, Sheringham and Cole will also withdraw. In the counterpoint, playing the middle is not a good choice, and Manchester United The biggest weakness comes from their full-backs.


    Neville and Elvin.


    The former is known for his diligence, but due to his lack of speed, he has congenital deficiencies. When Larsen counterattacks him here, Neville''s speed weakness will be exposed to a greater extent.


    Elvin on the other side is almost thirty-two. This England¡¯s best left-back has increased with weight and age, and his playing style has become more and more conservative. People will soon forget that he was so fast. .


    After Aldridge made a face-off with Glenn Charles, he made a gesture to the players on the sidelines, and Barak, who worked in the midfield, immediately understood.


    Now Aldridge no longer has to command players to change tactical formations on the sidelines.


    It doesn''t matter how the formation is arranged at the beginning.


    If you watch live TV, the formation on the screen, Millwall will be a 4213 formation, but in fact, their midfield position in the offense has a front and back level, and the retreat formation will become 4231 or At 451, the formation switched more and more handy during the game.


    Cole took the ball in the frontcourt, daring not to take more action, for fear of losing the ball, he knocked the ball back to Sheringham, the forward who once left a dazzling name in the history of the Millwall club has now been Millwall Forgotten, but it is undeniable that he is still a good striker, but it is far from the striker in the Millwall formation.


    A long shot!


    Sheringham''s long shot slid out the door.


    Butt swooped without hitting the ball. Even if it hit the goal, Butt should be able to easily block it.


    In the goal kick, Bout kicked the ball to Schneider. Manchester United players immediately went back to arming after the offense. They dared not carry out a pressure rounding, which would leave too much space behind.


    Schneider took the ball forward without passing the ball, which forced the Manchester United striker to harass him. After he and Barak made a two-on-one cooperation, he passed Cole and brought The ball also passed halftime, Giggs had to come up to defend him, Schneider passed the ball straight to Glenshire in front.


    After taking the ball, the Danes turned around to single Elvin, made an incisive move to move the ball horizontally, Elvin moved the center of gravity to the right, Glennshire then put the ball back to the side and started break out.


    Two seconds ago, Glencharr faced Elvin. Two seconds later, Glencharr rushed from the side and overwhelmed him, throwing away the other side, and eating raw unreasonably with speed.


    Elvin remembers Ferguson¡¯s Ding†R firmly: Millwall¡¯s winger threat is inward, not the bottom cross!


    So when he defended, he tended to block the inside line and changed to Shevchenko. Even if he had a low end, there was not a lot of threats. However, Glenshare felt that the bottom pass had no effect, because his passing method was terrible. .


    However, after eating hard, Elvin went to the bottom with the speed, instead of passing the ball, he went inside and entered the penalty area next to the bottom line!


    Elvin was taken aback, Manchester United''s defense was suddenly breached, and Elvin and Stam rushed over to block Glennshire''s play space.


    At this moment, Glenn Charles passed the ball back.


    Schneider, who was running at high speed, was unmarked, and Giggs ran over the defense. He also went to make up for the sideline left after Elvin returned to the penalty area, thinking that Schneider would take the sideline to respond.


    Facing back to do the ball, Schneider keeps the ball on the head and hits the long shot!


    The ball took a comprehensive position and made a rainbow trajectory to get into the upper right corner of Manchester United''s goal. Schmeichel moved a step and roared angrily at his teammates.


    You guys gave me a chance to save.


    This kind of ball gives the goalkeeper no chance at all, and I have to set off against a wonderful goal!


    "Wow, wow, wow, world wave, world wave! Schneider dedicated a classic long shot for us, Glennshire has made significant progress under Hall, his ability to handle the ball is stronger, more Calm, we all think that even if he breaks through the wing defense, he will definitely have a bad sighing cross after the bottom, but he calmly gave Schneider an assist. Millwall led by a goal. "


    Schneider opened his arms with a smile after scoring a goal, and his smile looked like he was surprised that this ball could play so well, no one was watching and didn''t need to adjust, his shot was too comfortable.


    Teammates ran to surround him and cheered and celebrated.


    Ferguson frowned, and he had the illusion that every game with Millwall seemed to be an exam.


    The result of the exam is to make the undetectable weaknesses of Manchester United magnified infinitely!


    This is also the style of Millwall, take the opponent''s life door and beat him to death!


    That''s how Bruce used to be, today''s Elvin.


    The lack of Elvin''s side, Manchester United to compete with the other 18 teams in the Premier League, may not make people look weak, but it is against Millwall, the opponent is to attack each other''s short.


    Ferguson also got up and called Giggs in front of him to give a defensive order seriously. The Welshman remembered it wordlessly and returned to the field to communicate with Elvin. The two sides on the same side reached a defensive consensus.


    After the kick-off, Millwall will still take the initiative to play on the side of Glenchard when he changes from defense to defense. The Danish Golden Wings are very hard today. Before the season, Odridge talked to him and promised to give him a new season. Opportunities for about 20 games require him to go all out in every game, and with this way of playing, it is difficult for him to have more opportunities to play, because he will be physically weak, and once his speed and explosiveness cannot become When attacking the weapon, other abilities are not enough to make him better than Millwall''s other forward players.


    Elvin defended Glenchard and started using close-in marking, forcing him to not only turn around, but also difficult to get the ball.


    Glenn Carrell began to draw back wide to receive the ball, but even so, Elvin would still follow, unless he left the area forty yards away from the bottom line.


    Seeing the empty space on the right side, Barak chose not to give Glencharr a foot ball, but instead directly pulled the ball into the side after the opponent pulled it out. Glencharr rushed to Elvin without the ball. Behind him, the opponent followed him closely, but Glenshire was faster, but when he was about to catch up with the ball, Giggs took the first step back to catch up and kicked the ball out of the sideline.


    When he hit this side for the third time, Nedvide took the initiative to move to the right side, but he just got the ball, but Stamm broke the ball with one foot and then made a clearance.


    Manchester United''s defensive system quickly adjusted after dropping the first ball, and the coordinated defense between the various players did a good job.


    Aldridge got excited on the sidelines.


    Such games are interesting to the head coach.


    He and Ferguson both stood on the sidelines, fighting for wisdom and courage with their command and contingency.


    Aldridge made another gesture to make the offense not too rigid and only hit the right side. To be honest, Barack is not as good as Pirlo in the scheduling. Aldrich ordered before, and Barak tried to score a few times. Going to Glenchard, until now, Manchester United players can almost guess that he will be the direction of Glenchard when passing when he is free.


    Just before the end of the first half, Manchester United made a quick attack.


    Neville handed the ball to Beckham on the right. The latter knocked over to the Scholes after receiving the ball. Sheringham also ran to the right to pull the countermeasure. Scholes handed the ball to Sheringham. , The latter passed the ball back to Beckham, who had moved some distance.


    Beckham slanted a long pass into the penalty area, this pass is extremely strange.


    Seems to go to the hanging door, but it is a very obvious curve ball.


    Not only Bout, even the two central defenders made misjudgments, because that arc is so **** big!


    After the ball flew from the ground, the reactions of the players and the audience constantly changed in a short period of time.


    The football is going out of the bottom line and is high.


    This ball **** is about hanging the door!


    No, this ball will fall behind the penalty area!


    Beckham''s golden right kick kicked the ball, relying on the arc of extremely confusing power.


    As long as the defensive player makes a mistake in judgment, it will cause a mistake in the defensive position.


    Sure enough, Elgra and Southgate didn''t touch the ball after falling into the small penalty area. It was originally Elgra''s defensive zone, but he didn''t take off, because he initially thought that the ball would be out of bounds. , Waiting for consciousness in less than a second, but want to take off but can''t keep up.


    Just as he turned to chase the drop point, Giggs, who was inserted from the left side at high speed, was already in front of him. Before the ball landed, the left foot arch was easily cushioned and the ball scored the goal.

 Chapter 247： Lose and lose

    After the goal, Giggs did not celebrate frantically, and seemed calm.


    Millwall did not play the full main force, and Manchester United was in a strong attack. This is the equalizing goal, which is not worth celebrating.


    Beckham was even more excited. With the assists, he tried very hard to prove himself, although he had secured his main position at Manchester United.


    But no matter how good he is, he can''t stop the more geniuses that Millwall has emerged. Those younger than him have received more praise from the outside world. With Millwall''s Premier League and FA Cup domestic doubles last season Crown, in the selection of domestic players, he was always crushed. When only the British media selected the best lineup, Millwall did not have a forward candidate. Shevchenko and Larsen were naturally included as forwards. In the middle, Beckham was selected as the best team in the Premier League. Among the best young players, Pirlo was undoubtedly elected. Even if his assist data is not Beckham, but his contribution and role to the team It is more irreplaceable than Beckham.


    It seems that the more successful Millwall is, the more Beckham feels that he has been bombed away at Millwall, which seems to have more problems.


    Aldridge saw Manchester United scoring on the sidelines, his expression did not fluctuate, but he could not help but sigh.


    The Manchester United players have made rapid progress.


    From their running, fighting enthusiasm, team understanding, and player''s personal ability improvement, all aspects of their rapid growth can be seen.


    Giggs''s threat to the goal skyrocketed, Beckham used his diligence to make up for his defense, Scholes also opened up after changing from a shadow striker to the midfield, the atmosphere was calm, although his tackle technology in the defense was terrible, but In addition to tackles, his defensive awareness and skills are improving rapidly.


    The first half ended quickly, and the two teams returned to the locker room.


    When the fighting reignited in the second half, Millwall''s attack was smoother and more oppressive.


    Millwall, who has completely entered the state of the game, began their dizzying team performance.


    Gattuso, Barak, and Nedvide passed the ball between the penalty area and the penalty area, making the Manchester United formation constantly expanding and contracting. At the same time, the two full-backs came up from time to time to participate in the offensive response, and the winger retreated to strengthen the midfield contact. , To maximize the width of the court between horizontal passes to tear the width of the Manchester United defense.


    On average, Millwall makes a threatening shot every ten passes.


    Because Glenchard walked on the wing and bottom in the first half, Elvin had to distract him from the wing break, but in the second half, Glenchard performed more unpredictably, sometimes with the ball inward laterally, sometimes walking Outside the line, he challenged Elvin''s nerve every time he took the ball.


    In the first sixty minutes, Millwall''s offense was obviously right-winged, Glennshire was the protagonist of the offense, and Fanny got support from the sidelines from time to time, but was far away from breaking the goal.


    This kind of offense is what Millwall is best at. Attacking on one side allows opponents to shift their focus of defense, while also allowing them to have loopholes on the other side.


    Just one time when Glenchard ran into the running position to slant Manchester United''s defense ribs, Nedvide received a pass from Barak. He observed that Stam moved ahead to block Glencharne. The line was cut, so he miserly put the ball straight on the other side.


    Larson, the ghost of running, appeared there, and Neville and Palister were startled.


    This last season''s super shooter was silent for most of the half, would he suddenly be taken away at first sight? !


    Larson scored into the penalty area and took the lead. Palistre blocked his shooting angle. Larson accelerated towards the bottom line and directly broke through the entire Manchester United defense line. Then he crossed the goal in front of the goal, Starr Mu moved a bit slower to make a lateral move, and Fanny grabbed the ball in front of him and thrust the ball into the Manchester United door!


    "Millwall is back! The Millwall, who doesn''t know when the attack will start and who will end the opponent, is back! Looking at their offense, the flow is very pleasing to the eye and the transfer ball will be used purposefully The opponent''s defense was torn away, and then unexpectedly shifted the focus of the attack. Larsen had a chance to shoot, but he selflessly gave the younger generation an assist. The Dutch Van Nistelrooy did not waste this opportunity. In the penalty area, the ball cleanly poke the goal, Millwall leads again!"


    After Fanny scored the goal, the time has come to the 64th minute of the game. Aldridge started to make substitutions, warming up the game, there is no need to die with the opponent.


    Moreover, he did not send the main force today, because they will usher in a strong opponent: Arsenal in the Premier League opener a few days later.


    Van der Mead, replace Glenshire.


    On Duff, replace Larson.


    On Lampard, replace Nedved.


    The basic formation changed to 4231, and Barak and Gattuso played double midfielders.


    The Red Devils fans clenched their teeth in the stands and couldn''t help themselves.


    Male Gobi, the crazy lion is too small to look at.


    Only one goal ahead, and his mother replaced two main players.


    It''s also a good thing to meet Manchester United with the main force today. Aldridge can allow rookie players to do their first defense after the team''s first debut, so that they don''t just want to attack when they play fish.


    "Is this your habit?"


    Benitez asked with a smile after the substitution.


    After thinking for a while, Aldridge said: "It''s true. Millwall started with defense three years ago. No matter which player came to the team, the first thing to do well is to learn to defend, regardless of defensive ability. At least have a sense of team defense."


    Without Benitez pointing out, Aldridge didn''t realize that when he was dealing with new players, the first thing he wanted them to learn in the game was defense.


    This is also one of his styles.


    As soon as Millwall made a substitution, the formation contracted immediately, and Manchester United was unhappy.


    Last season, they played the main force of the opponent, were six at the door, and today they are half behind the main lineup, and they are behind. Now the opponents have almost no main force on the field. Except for the town team¡¯s Southgate and Schneider, they hardly look at it. To familiar faces last season.


    If the game loses again, the Red Devils really have no face.


    So then Manchester United started a mad attack, which was in the midst of Aldridge.


    Duff and Van der Mede backed up to defend the second half, and formed a partial defense system with the full-backs and midfielders.


    But their personal defensive abilities really dare not compliment.


    In particular, Van der Mede was easily broken by Giggs as soon as he played. However, as long as he stood in that position, after Giggs passed him, there was also a trace of empty space on the control ball. Schneider Waiting for Giggs to pass Van der Mede in front, after the other party finished, he took the advantage to grab the ball and broke the sideline.


    This is what is commendable in Schneider''s defense. Aldrich has always appreciated the German.


    His debut is an offensive player. After changing to the full-back, he has insufficient defensive ability, but he is smart enough to form a defensive combination with his teammates, so that 1 + 1 is greater than 2.


    Unless it''s a one-on-one encounter with players who are particularly sharp on the wing, such as Giggs, Ginola, McManaman, Figo, etc.


    But in such a situation, Schneider will also make himself a wall, it is easy for the opponent to pass him, but behind his wall, there are his teammates taking the opportunity to complete the continuous interception, which reflects his The superiority of the reading ability of the game, for other players who do not have a football IQ, they will only rush to grab. The interception fails and is cleaned. The distance from the teammates is very large, causing the defense line to be layered. Layer breakthrough.


    Millwall suffered a siege from Manchester United''s powerful firepower, but their formation contracted relatively backward, and did not give Manchester United too many opportunities, especially because Manchester United lacked a strong center, so that their wing flying tactics could not play their maximum role.


    Beckham slid out with a free kick.


    Scholes inserted a long shot and was blocked by Elgra.


    Sheringham took a penalty and nodded the goal with no effort, but Bout scored easily.


    Kean plugged in, Scholes burst into the penalty area to catch the ball and directly hit the goal, Bout made a world-class save and saved the ball from the bottom line!


    The Red Devils indiscriminately bombarded the goals of the mad lions, and their formation became more and more pressured.


    In the 83rd minute of the game, Millwall was turned from defense to offense several times by the opponent''s frontcourt to suppress the defense to resolve, but this time, they finally ushered in the opportunity.


    Southgate''s clearance ball went to the side, Duff and Beckham took the lead to stand in position, header the ball back to Zambrotta behind, then he turned and rushed forward.


    Zambrotta took a long pass after receiving the ball. Duff faced Neville to intercept during the forward rush. When the ball landed, Duff stopped the ball with his left foot. It seemed to stop, but The ball rolled behind Neville. When Neville braked to turn around, Duff was already on his side. Neville reached out to pull Duff''s jersey, and Duff suddenly accelerated to throw the other side away.


    After rushing to the ball, Duff is getting faster and faster, and Manchester United''s back defense suddenly clashed.


    When he brought the ball to the front of the penalty area, Neville chased him behind but had a distance of at least five meters.


    Pallister had to step forward to block it, and Stam felt bad.


    He knows Millwall''s tactical system better than all other Manchester United players.


    At this time, if the central defender goes up, the opponent will definitely pass the ball. In that case, the defense will be full of holes.


    Before, he has been back and forth in defense, blocking a lot of Millwall''s wonderful penetration ball, but now being counterattacked, Manchester United''s defensive number is not less than Millwall!


    Keane has returned to follow Lampard, and Elvin didn¡¯t rush up just now. Now defending Van der Med, Stam and Paliste are Fanny. Paliste is right to stop Duff. Stam felt that this was a wrong choice, because it made the gap between the two central defenders bigger.


    Duff chose to pass the ball. After Lampard slowed down, Keane also consciously wanted to fill Paliste''s position, which made Lampard easy to get the ball, and then knocked it to van der Meade.


    The Dutch deceived Elvin''s center of gravity with a swaying fake after touching the ball, and then moved the ball to the bottom in a continuous motion, followed by a beautiful cross.


    This foot pass really aimed at Fanny''s head, but Schmeichel took the lead and punched the ball with one hand.


    When the Red Devils thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, the ball''s falling point made them feel thunderbolt.


    Right on the left side of the penalty area, Lampard took a volley and volleyed the ball.


    Schmeichel did not make a save this time, watching the ball roll back from the net, he kicked the ball angrily.


    Lampard was knocked down by Keane after the shot. Although the ball was scored, it caused a conflict between the players of the two teams.


    Aldridge also pointed angrily at the court and shouted: "Grass! This kind of game actually has such a move! He has no chance to touch the ball, it is a rush, the referee, remember me, if the FA If you don¡¯t fine him, you will cover Manchester United! We will never stop!¡±


    But reality is not Aldridge''s turn.


    After Keane shoveled Lampard, he turned to Manchester United''s coach seat with a heavy face, holding his knees instead.


    Aldridge also froze after protesting.


    What should I do?


    Lampard got up and tried anyway, and then sat down again, looking frustrated. It seemed he couldn''t stick to the game.


    But Keane seems to be more seriously injured. This kind of iron man will not fall easily. Once he falls, the injury will definitely not be able to return to the field in a short period of time.


    Ferguson''s face was green...


    Manchester United is the rhythm of losing and losing, and it is the most critical part of the midfield defense. Keane is the new Red Devils leader who took over the captain''s armband after Cantona retired!

 Chapter 248： One star a year

    In a half-warming game of community shields, neither the Red Devils nor the Crazy Lions need to be physically active. They are serious about the game, but Keane¡¯s tackle is really overdone.


    In a match that didn''t have a yellow card, in the case of Keane shoveling Lampard and hurting himself, the referee showed him a red card before Keane was lifted off the stretcher.


    Ferguson''s face was very green, and he made consecutive substitutions and replaced the main force. There is no longer any expectation for this game.


    Aldridge also continued to use two substitutions to allow Matrazzi and Ferdinand to play for Southgate and Lampard. Elgra played a free agent to participate in the attack to see the effect.


    When Manchester United lost one less and started to shrink actively, Millwall''s positional attack was not so fierce.


    In addition, the two wing rookies were not as cool as the counterattack when they were defensively compressed space.


    Duff kicked the ball with one foot. His right foot technique was disturbing. It seemed that he couldn''t stop the ball with his right foot while running.


    Van der Mede took the ball and the belt and the belt, and after reluctant to take the road, there was a chase after the soldiers...


    Aldridge looked straight at the coach.


    Although the two men entered the first team in the new season, it will take longer to integrate into the team. Not only will the playing habits and awareness need to be improved, but personal skills will also need to be hone.


    Van der Mede sticks the ball, Duff''s right foot is useless.


    In the last few minutes of the game, although the fans of the crazy lions are very happy that they will get the community shield for the first time, they missed it last year and lost to Manchester United. This year they can win the cup as expected and make them extremely excited.


    But seeing the performance of Duff and Van der Mede at the last moment, the fans all have an illusion: this is like two of them who counterattacked before.


    Manchester United team of this level, even if they are on the bench, determined to defend, it is really not the fledgling young people can casually.


    In any case, at the end of the game, Millwall players were happy to win another trophy.


    The Community Shield is a continuation of last season''s competition, so this trophy can be included in Millwall''s awards in the 96/97 season.


    Fans pulled out banners in the stands with four trophies drawn on them, the big book: The Four Crowns.


    Aldridge went to shake hands with Ferguson, and then was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines.


    Talking about this game, Aldridge made some formulaic remarks. After all, it was warm-up. He won¡¯t have to be domineering, and he won¡¯t be violent when he loses.


    After the award ceremony, the players did not celebrate, the captain Southgate quickly took the lead and left Wembley Stadium, they went home to have a good rest, preparing for the Premier League opener a few days later.


    On August 7, after having lunch at noon, Aldridge came to the club early. The staff sent him the family photo taken before the season. He put the photo in a beautiful frame and walked into his office.


    His office has a simple layout, with a desk backed by floor-to-ceiling windows, a sofa and a coffee table in the middle, and a book shelf against the wall with books about football and non-football. He sometimes changes his mind or relaxes here. , Will pick up a book to read.


    On the other wall, there are three photo frames hanging on the wall.


    The photos in the photo frame are the family portraits before the seasons of 94/95, 95/96 and 96/97.


    As for the trophies won by the team, they are all displayed in the club honor room for restaurants, and some of the individual awards he has won are in his own home.


    When he came to the wall with the family photo frame inlaid with the new season, Aldridge suddenly stunned.


    His eyes dimmed back and forth in front of the three photos.


    I don''t know how long, the knock on the door sounded, the office door was open, and Ewen stood by the door, watching Aldridge for a minute.


    Aldridge recovered, and Ewen walked up to him, looking up at the photos on the wall, and said lightly: "If you feel sad, put it away. I think you should put the photos of the team winning the championship. It¡¯s better here, at least it makes people feel happy.¡±


    Aldridge bowed his head and smiled bitterly: "What''s the difference? Didn''t the people who left in the photos?"


    Ewen shrugged helplessly, she has always been a **** fan of Millwall, the most loyal supporter.


    Sometimes when I think of the players who left, I feel uncomfortable.


    They used to support and love them so much, but they couldn''t stick to it.


    Taking out a simple toolbox from the drawer at the bottom of the desk, Aldridge nailed the wall and hung the picture frame.


    The fourth season is about to begin.


    He appreciates the four photos with satisfaction. Although the old people are not in the new photos, there are many faces that have stayed here.


    From these photos, you can see the traces of years left on them.


    The players are growing and the team is becoming stronger and stronger as they grow.


    "I have something to discuss with you."


    Yiwen sat down on the sofa and poured two glasses of water.


    Aldridge''s buttocks touched the desk and said, "Then say, do I need to close the door?"


    After thinking for a while, Yiwen said: "No, I am responsible for the club''s publicity. In view of the club''s recruitment policy and long-term team building philosophy, since we cannot create a sensation in the transfer market, then we require ourselves to have the ability Launch a world-class superstar, don''t you deny this?"


    Aldridge nodded and admitted without hesitation.


    Not to mention that Millwall has no money to smash the superstar, but the superstar is impossible to come here, unless it is the kind of late superstar, only aura, and the ability has not reached the level of superstar players.


    "So in publicity, although the purpose of the club is not to highlight individuals and avoid the occurrence of players overpowering their teammates, but in order to enhance the club''s influence and visibility, then we must make every effort to build a player in publicity."


    Yi Wen''s words made Aldridge confused, and frowned and asked, "Can you elaborate more?"


    Yi Wen said patiently: "Last season the team won so many trophies, who is the hero?"


    Aldrich took it for granted: "The whole team has credit, regardless of the main force or the substitute. Although there are big and small contributions, no one can do without it."


    Yiwen then said: "Who is the best player?"


    "That''s the main player. They played a lot and played many key games. Naturally, they are the most dazzling."


    "So here comes the problem. In front of the public, there are many people who like Larson, and many like Nedved. Trezeguet, Shevchenko, Pirlo, Schneider, etc. There is a voice that Millwall does not have top stars, but these first-line players condense together, turning Millwall into a top team."


    "Although this argument is flawed, it is not ridiculous overall."


    "But if we want to bring the club''s influence to the next level, we must have more well-known players. So I think we can implement a one-year-one-star policy in publicity!"


    One superstar a year?


    Aldridge looked strangely at the ceiling.


    This policy is very familiar.


    But he knew it must be different from Real Madrid''s superstar policy.


    Explain her proposal in detail.


    "If the standard of superstars is in addition to team honors, then there is the Golden Globe Award and Mr. World Football as the standard. Although this is not a hard indicator, the players who have won the Golden Globe Award or Mr. World Football are mostly recognized. A superstar. Maybe Millwall¡¯s players won¡¯t be able to win this award, but at least they must be in the top of the competition. Even the second and third places are better than the top three.¡±


    Aldridge nodded in approval.


    What is a superstar?


    In fact, it is not about awards, but influence.


    At that time, George Best was a superstar, because this guy not only has a big fan in the green field, but also has influence in different fields across the border, such as leading fashion, which makes him a superstar.


    There are many people who play the ball well, and many people are considered top players, but not many can reach the height of superstars in influence.


    Of course, it is like the word genius flooding into the disaster. In the future, with the commercialization of football and the spread of globalization, the word superstar is also used. The stars who have achieved something a little are dared to be touted as superstars. .


    In the next two decades, among the superstars of international football, the most successful is Beckham.


    In terms of ball skills, he has a skill, but he does not belong to the role of the soul of the team, but combined with the commercial cross-border influence, Beckham is a well-deserved superstar to ask a hundred people who do not watch football: Do you know who Beckham is?


    Many people who do not watch football know Beckham, but only a few people know that Zidane, Figo and others are far superior to Beckham¡¯s superstars.


    "The kind of publicity you mentioned is very complicated. Let''s put it this way, some players are unwilling to appear in the spotlight, don''t like to make a show, and don''t want their privacy to be exposed too much. This is why their appearance rate is reduced..."


    "I know, I know, I don¡¯t mean to force players to change something. In that case, you certainly won¡¯t agree. My idea is that we focus on building a player in publicity every year so that he can be honored personally. Try to get a higher rating in the selection. Last season''s Millwall was so good, but have you ever thought about the Golden Globes selection, how many players will we shortlist?"


    Yi Wen''s words put Aldridge into contemplation.


    "At least three. The defensive players are not valued. Even the finalists are balanced. In the final selection, not many judges will vote for the defensive players. Pirlo is too young, his performance on the court, the most professional ball. The critic will send a hymn, but the eye effect evaluation will not cause him too much attention. Nedved, Larsen, Trezeguet, Shevchenko, among these four people, alas, I am still too Optimistic, it is estimated that two of them are good. Larson and Nedved."


    Aldridge sighed.


    Ewen continued: "Assuming Larson and Nedved are shortlisted together, who do you think is more likely to win?"


    Aldridge did not want to answer this question because it made him uncomfortable.


    "Larson."


    "But many judges will appreciate Nedved''s performance and vote for him."


    "Uh, I understand what you mean."


    Aldridge stroked his head, remembering the scene of the future Golden Globe Awards.


    The Spanish national team, the champion of the four-year and three-time competition, the champion division with the Barcelona system as the core, did not even have a golden ball.


    And Barcelona, ??with Harvey and Iniesta as the core, swept Europe in those years, plus the unprecedented glory of the national team, why is there no one Mr. Golden Ball?


    Are the judges blind?


    not quite¡­¡­


    First of all, it cannot be denied that Messi has turned against the sky in those years. There are not many judges who like Messi.


    However, both Xavi and Iniesta proved themselves both in the club and in the national team. Both of them performed very well. To some extent, the two had a group of judges who liked each other, and then the two divided the votes.


    This is a difficult choice. Appreciate Harvey¡¯s judges¡¯ selection of Harvey, and Iniesta¡¯s choice of Iniesta. Both the club and the national team have the same honor, and they are in Dream Three Barcelona. , The two are indispensable, and the judges choose anyone who is straightforward, but makes the Spanish team such a brilliant team in four years and three championships, not even one Mr. Golden Ball.


    "Then how do I tell my players? I can''t always say to Pavel: Hey, Henrik did a good job last season and is about to comment on Mr. Golden Ball. The club will do his best to build momentum for him. You feel wronged. ?"


    Aldrich wanted to understand it, but he was uncomfortable.


    But when I think about it, there are many players in a club that have performed well. This selection in terms of personal honor is originally a kind of internal friction. Rather than cheaper others, it is better to take it back by yourself.


    Yiwen said: "You don''t need to say anything, the propaganda is done by the club, some are done on the surface, some are done in private, there is no need to greet the players and disturb their minds."


    "How to do it privately?"


    "Propaganda, we can communicate privately with some cooperative media, put more of our goal collections, contact some TV programs, and let them do more talk shows about Larson''s performance, and then find the gunman. Spread more in the newspaper...you don¡¯t have to use Millwall¡¯s position to promote the players."


    Aldridge stared at the smiling Ewen with wide eyes and said in surprise: "You are a fox!"

 Chapter 249： Open war

    In the opening season of the Premier League in the new season, there will be 20 minutes to start. The Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium is overcrowded. The fans are waving a variety of flags on the stands with various slogans and patterns, expressing their high expectations for the team and the mountains. Support for mobile.


    The small stadium is still that small stadium, but there has been a little change in the stadium.


    In the past, the sidelines were directly the stands, and now there are billboards with different sponsors next to the stands. Advertisements of different colors embellish the stadium.


    Aldridge is sitting in the VIP area of ??the stadium stands, talking and laughing with Puskas.


    "Really? He fell into the sea? Hehe, he always did, and he didn''t know when to do things that made people laugh, and sometimes it was a false alarm."


    Aldridge heard Puskas talk about their summer trip to the Mediterranean Sea, and they rarely smiled, especially when he heard that Arthur had drunk on the cruise ship and fell into the sea while dancing on the deck...


    Puskas turned to Aldridge and whispered: "Let''s do a good job last season. You can beat Barcelona now, which is really exciting."


    "I will beat Real Madrid in the future. Don''t cry at that time."


    "Oh, if you can really do it, I will only be happy for you, Aldridge, I found that I like Millwall, watching your team play, it is enjoyable. And there are many elements of the game, yes I couldn¡¯t see it in that era, but the masters of my era are now less.¡±


    Aldridge smiled dumbly and shook his head: "It will not be less, but with the development of football, the gap between players is getting closer and closer. With the rapid spread of football, even the best tactics, its strong cycle It becomes very short. If you are idle, you can usually go to the youth training camp. There are many good young players there. Look, the ten players here are very good, although they cannot compare with you, hahaha."


    Puskas leaned forward and scanned the faces of ten young players who were sitting in the front row.


    Today is the home game. According to the training results of the past week, two players from each echelon can sit here and watch the ball. They are very excited to watch the ball here with the once famous emperor superstar like Puskas. Take a photo with him as a souvenir.


    Ronaldinho and Lamore in the U21 echelon.


    Cahill, Ferreira in the U18 gradient.


    Alonso and Villa in the U16 echelon.


    Jenas and De Rossi in the U14 echelon.


    Aguero and Ronaldo in the U12 echelon.


    Puskas would say a few words of encouragement to these young players, or talk about the superstars who appeared in their country in his time, such as Gento in Spain, Stefano in Argentina, etc.


    Arthur sat aside and was straightforward. He laughed and cheered for them: try to be a new crazy lion!


    Five minutes into the game, Aldridge walked down the channel to the stands, and signed the enthusiastic fans by the way. When he walked to the sidelines, he walked and shook hands with Wenger.


    Last season was Wenger¡¯s first season in coaching Arsenal, but it was not complete. Although only a few league games were played, things were not so simple. Summer training is very important for the team. Wenger failed to host the ball. The team''s summer preparations cannot be changed drastically during the season.


    But this summer is different.


    Arsenal entered the Wenger era in a real sense.


    "Check it out today?"


    Aldridge smiled and reached for Wenger.


    Wenger nodded: "Although it is not the best time, I think Arsenal is no worse than Millwall."


    "Oh, the fans are blessed."


    Aldrich shook hands with him and walked back to his place.


    Wenger was right, the timing of Millwall and Arsenal was not the best.


    In the opening game, there was the London Derby, and it was the defending champion against the fourth team last season. This was obviously a strong dialogue and it was exciting.


    However, the FA is definitely cramped.


    This kind of strong dialogue is generally for viewing purposes, and will not be carried out in the first two rounds of the season, because the team''s state needs a recovery period, who can guarantee that the two strong teams can play the best state in the first official game. ?


    But the FA has really arranged the schedule.


    Aldridge never complained about the schedule. Even if last season''s FA Cup final and the European Cup Winners'' Cup were only two days apart, he did not propose to the FA to reschedule the FA Cup final.


    The strong are not afraid, the schedule is already arranged, even if there is a conspiracy theory, but as long as they are strong, why fear the opponent?


    Could it be that the people who scheduled the schedule would give Millwall a devil schedule and they would make them Waterloo?


    Whether the schedule is easy or difficult, it is a test of the coach''s ability, and Aldrich is willing to accept any challenge.


    When the players from both sides walked out of the player''s aisle with enthusiasm, the audience waiting at the TV at home or in the bar also ignited enthusiasm.


    "Long spectators, the long-lost Premier League is back! Hello everyone, I am Martin Taylor, and my partner this season to explain the Premier League matches is still old friend Andy Gray."


    "The opener is the London Derby. The new generation of champions will compete with the former king team Arsenal. It is really exciting. Martin, what do you think of the changes of the two teams in the new season?"


    "In addition to leaving the main guard Stamm, Millwall has not changed much. If there is a change, then they should be more mature and stronger, because they have experienced the baptism of the championship, the young players have passed Last season''s training has also grown quite a bit. Arsenal have changed a lot here. First of all, they have added two powerful players to the main lineup. French midfielder Petit and Dutch winger Ovimar Seen from the starting lineup, Arsenal Wenger discharged a 442 formation. It seems that the Arsenal of the Graham era is completely over, and the five-back formation has entered history."


    "Okay, let¡¯s introduce the starting list of the two sides. Millwall is the main force. The starting formation is 433. Goalkeeper: Bout. Guards: Schneider, Elgra, Southgate, Capdevila . Midfielders: Makelele, Pirlo, Nedved. Forwards: Larsson, Trezeguet, Shevchenko. Arsenal starting lineup is 442, goalkeeper: Seaman. Defenders: Dixon, Adams , Keon, Winterbourne. Midfielders: Pires, Vieira, Petit, Ovimas. Forwards: Anelka, Bergkamp. When Wenger visited the Lions Stadium last season With four goals defeated, whether he will be ashamed today will make Arsenal fans raise their heads in London, and whether Millwall can use the defending champion''s strong posture to get a good start for the new season, let us wait and see!"


    Because it is an opener, a brief ceremony will be held.


    Aldridge looked at Arsenal''s starting lineup from the sidelines and began to think about it.


    For almost ten years since then, Arsenal¡¯s formation has been based on 442. Many changes have been derived to switch, 4222, 4231, 451 and so on. The tactical formation has never been dead. The key is the player¡¯s area of ??responsibility in offense and defense. And the running position without the ball.


    From the characteristics of these gunmen''s personal abilities, they can roughly guess their tactical intentions.


    The double-waisted Petit and Vieira are responsible for strengthening the midfield defense and pre-restricted area protection. They pass through two wingers when they are transferred from the defense, Pire or Ovimas, and Bogkamp can also withdraw from the attack. There are also midfielders who follow up from time to time, and the role is to form a connection in the attack from back to front.


    Pay attention to stability when defending and fast when attacking.


    In general, it is mainly defensive counterattack.


    At the beginning of the game, Millwall kicked off.


    Since it was the league opener, Millwall did not overpower after the kick-off, Pirlo passed the ball diagonally to Lushevchenko on the right, and the Ukrainian passed the ball back to Schneider, who was long Passing the transfer, the ball landed on Capdevila''s side, and then went straight to Larson. Larson ran into position, but the ball was intercepted by Dixon.


    Arsenal quickly turned from the defender and the ball landed at the foot of the Dutch Peter Pan Ovimas, who immediately ran along the sidewalk for a long distance.


    Capdevila failed to pass the threat, and Arsenal hit a counterattack on his side. When he turned around, Ovimas had already thrown him away.


    The fast-moving Ovimas drove the ball forward, but he did not cut inwards, but set the edge.


    In the absence of defense, Ovimas sent a high-quality pass to the middle of the road, Anelka and Elgra competed, Elgra body is more dominant, the championship wins, the ball goes to the top Off the right, Schneider took the ball and Millwall reorganized the attack.


    Wenger saw that the counterattack had not been achieved, and he sent him in front of the door, making him slightly lost.


    Aldridge focused on observing the running position of Arsenal players after Ovimas took the ball.


    Bergkamp pulled back out of the penalty zone after rushing. There was such a short two seconds that no one was defending, but Peter Pan''s ball was not passed to him.


    Southgate made up for Capdevila''s position, Makelele returned to the restricted area, and Pirlo also stood in front of the penalty area. Vieira and Pire on the other side failed to provide effective help for this attack. , The field is constantly changing, and the chance is fleeting. Ovimas missed the empty space that Bergkamp ran out. The threat of traditional side pass is not great, it does not matter whether Anelka is good at header, but He did not have an advantage in front of Elgra, and during the adjustment process of Ovimas, in time, the Millwall defense line was quickly adjusted after being exposed, and became tightly fit.


    Millwall played a few infiltration balls, and his opponents were easily resolved in the offensive battle. Arsenal, with a defensive counterattack, has the strongest defender line in the Premier League. This is beyond doubt.


    Arsenal was hit under pressure, but every counterattack after a successful defense also threatened frequently. The two team formation defenses contracted quickly and unfolded quickly, and they all pursued a goal. Except for Arsenal''s wing players who took the ball more The other players must be quick and accurate when passing the ball, which makes the game very good-looking.


    Schneider made a diagonal pass to find Trezeguet and was cut off by Petit. The French blonde tycoon turned from the defender and planned to directly hit Schneider behind to find Piret. He bluntly passed the ball across the half , Pire has run out of space, as long as he takes the ball, he will definitely be able to launch a threatening counterattack.


    However, Makelele accurately cut off the ball before Pire received the ball, and then passed the ball to Pirlo in front.


    Arsenal failed to counterattack. Millwall played two consecutive attacks in a short period of time. Pirlo passed a deadly scalpel pass in the front field and sent the ball into the right rib of Arsenal''s penalty area.


    Winterbourne looked at the ball''s trajectory and deliberately looked at Shevchenko''s position, no problem.


    Keon also caught Trezeguet and Vieira stared at Nedved, but, in the penalty area, Pirlo received the ball, and in the short pass of the pass, Larsson left Starting, and then diagonally inserted into the right rib of the penalty area, Adams responded a little slower, and Larsen ripped the line between Keon and Winterbourne.


    Following the trajectory of the ball rolling, Larson turned to take advantage of the foot to kick the ball, Seaman attacked to block the near corner, the speed of the ball was not fast, but the angle flew to the far corner.


    Dixon chased the goal far away and tried to clear the header with a header, but he jumped to the extreme but didn''t touch the ball. He fell into the goal and beside him, there was a bouncing ball.

 Chapter 250： Defend the throne

    "Arsenal countered, oh, the ball was cut off by Makelele. Now we have a very intuitive feeling. Thinking of Makelele, you can imagine a role on the field in your mind. In this job, Audrey Hall kept praising Mark in front of the media... Larson, chance! Goal! Millwall opened the record! The goal scorer is Larson, too fast, too fast , Makelele gave the ball to Pirlo after stealing the ball, Arsenal''s frontcourt players were all running forward, they had just completed a defense, the defensive players were mentally relaxed, which made Millwall suddenly start again The offensive became more threatening, Pirlo''s scalpel-like straight plug penetrated Arsenal''s midfielder and defender, Shevchenko and Trezegue were countered by Keon and Winterbourne. , But Larson ran from the left to the right, and for an instant, for an instant, Adams did not follow him, which made the Swedish super shooter seize the opportunity to see his shot, while running Turn around to adjust the step point, and gently use the instep to pick the ball to the far corner of the goal. This is not a standard shooting action, but it is the most effective and appropriate way to break the goal. The ball is in, Larsson has pulled away with a goal Prologue to defend your own Premier League Golden Boots and European Golden Boots!"


    After scoring, Larson ran to the corner of the flag and spread his hands and smiled. The fans near the stands were crazy.


    "Archer King! Archer King! Larson! Larson!"


    The group was excited and shouted.


    Teammates seem to be accustomed to the ghost running position after Larson''s sudden start, and then put the ball into the gate in the simplest and most effective way.


    This is a morale boost for the entire team.


    Midfielders and players create opportunities, the strikers seize it, everyone trusts each other, and the crazy lion can''t succeed!


    Arsenal''s players were a bit frustrated. Although they didn''t blame each other, they still felt somehow inexplicable.


    Defenders may think that the defense just succeeded. Everyone hasn''t gasped for a breath, and the attack hasn''t hit yet and was counterattacked.


    Players who run in the frontcourt will also think that it is obviously a chance for their own counterattack, but the ball has not been passed in place. White ran without saying, and now he has to come back to kick off.


    Aldridge waved his right fist on the side of the court with a stern smile.


    now it''s right!


    The essence of offensive football is oppressing.


    Arsenal''s flaw during this period was the turnover rate from the defense to the attack.


    Petit and Ovimas have just come to the team, one is the main defensive midfielder and the other is the offensive winged knife.


    As long as they can''t cooperate with their teammates, Millwall will not succeed in one offensive, two offensives, and three offensives will destroy Arsenal''s solid defense.


    That was just the goal just now.


    Especially Makelele''s steals are simply master-level performances.


    It can be said that without Makelele''s pre-judgment to accurately intercept a powerful midfielder, Millwall would not dare to let the two wingers go crazy in the formation, and the full-backs would boldly step forward to assist.


    Because of the lack of the ability of Makelele to intercept the key pass when the opponent turns from defense to defense, Millwall''s defensive loopholes will be very large.


    His key role is that his opponent thinks he has a good offensive opportunity, but he will always be suddenly strangled by Makelele, and then the game situation is suddenly reshuffled, followed by Millwall to launch a fast attack, the opponent is caught off guard!


    When Larson and Shevchenko on the strike line are getting more and more mature, they will form a unilateral number advantage at a certain moment to attack one side, so that the local number is dominant, and then cover each other. The striker forms a direct threat to the goal.


    Wenger came out to suppress the field, so that the players have a restless heart, still have to do their job well, insist on defensive counterattack tactics.


    Don''t rush up and attack like crazy as soon as you drop the ball, it will die ugly!


    Millwall continued to maintain his advantage after scoring a goal, constantly launching offensive.


    Larson is the most active person on the front line. He creates opportunities every time he runs, but his two-footed shots after the goal are too angle-oriented and slide out.


    Arsenal''s counter-attack routine is also familiar to Millwall. Once Ovimas takes the ball, Capdevila will have the same choice as Schneider in facing the top players when defending, slowing you down, don''t worry Going up and pushing you into the outside, you have to be aggressive, and there are teammates behind me waiting to intercept you. If you cross, casually, our defensive formation is already in place!


    Bogkamp''s cooperation with his fellow villagers failed several times, and the passing threat was almost zero. Thirty minutes later, Vieira participated more and more in the offense, which allowed Arsenal to have A few decent knocks on the door.


    In the thirty-seventh minute of the first half, Millwall''s old tricks were reapplied, Pirlo directly inserted into the penalty area on the right side of the penalty area, Treze covered in the middle, and Shevchenko and Larson both responded here.


    Adams followed Larson this time, waiting for him to wait for the ball to perform a defensive and destructive attack immediately.


    But just in front of the penalty area line, Larson took the ball and blocked Adams with his body. When the ball rolled over in front of him, Shevchenko, who was obliquely inserted from the side, took the ball laterally, Winterburn Lateral movement was blocked by Adams, and he suddenly wanted to swear.


    Petit chased back to block Shevchenko''s inner line, but when he moved, another person was liberated, Arsenal''s empty space on the left side of the penalty area became larger, and Nedved broke into the penalty area to run diagonally, Shev Zenko passed the ball behind Keon, and the route was the back point on the left.


    Keon had just turned his head, and Nedvide had already shot his legs.


    The ball volleyed cleanly and flew into the upper corner of the goal. The speed was so fast that Seaman jumped in place without touching the ball!


    "What a wonderful match, Millwall is best at using horizontal tearing to make opponents'' defenses bigger. As long as you show flaws in the penalty area, they will be punished by Millwall to see how their offense players are involved. Screening for teammates, Trezeguet, Shevchenko, Larson, they attracted four Arsenal defensive players, and consciously crowded on the right to make loops on the other side of Arsenal''s defense, Ned Vader plugs in at a high speed, his teammates pass the ball, and he accomplishes it overnight. This is the power of team football! Arsenal, people who look forward to a summer Arsenal seems to be inferior to that of the Graham era, although their football was dull at that time. Boring, but you rarely see their goal penetrated twice in less than forty minutes!"


    "Will this be a repeat of the last round of the clash between the two teams in the league last season? Arsenal have fallen behind by two goals and they are hanging again in this game."


    Wenger stood frostly on the sidelines, simply looking at the comparison between the number of offenses and defenses. When the two goals were conceded, Arsenal and Millwall were equal in number, but Millwall played the subtlety with the equal number of offenses. Cooperate.


    You can compare each player individually. Arsenal''s defensive players are also top-level. You can''t blame them for their defensive ability. Millwall players feel that they have gone to another team. It may not be able to perform so well.


    This is the embodiment of the coach''s training ability.


    Unity, smoothness and exquisiteness, Millwall''s football style is already whirlwind and invincible!


    Nedved ran to the side with his team logo on his jersey, the stands boiled, and the roaring members of the South Stand turned around to form a shocking picture.


    Those words composed of single letters on their backs clearly read: God of War Nedved!


    Arsenal lost two goals and the offense was unruly, leaving more than two thousand fans on the scene desperate.


    They even felt that it was a mistake to sign Pires. Pires performed amazingly at Millwall, but came to Arsenal. He played on the bench half of the time last season. The performance was average and unsatisfactory.


    According to media, the two players Millwall sold to Arsenal last season were: A borer was hidden in a delicious apple.


    Vieira is an apple and Pires is a borer, because he has not been integrated into Arsenal''s tactical system, and there have been so few performances.


    Today is the same, Ovimas is still on the wing by virtue of his individual ability, but Pires has been busy in the first half, and the starting French compatriot Anelka is invisible in the frontcourt, Bergkamp The offense is not much, the Arsenal midfielder was completely suppressed.


    The first half ended quickly and Arsenal held on for the last few minutes without losing the ball.


    When Aldridge entered the locker room, Millwall players were excitedly talking about the two goals in the first half.


    "Unparalleled performance! You did a good job in the first half. Arsenal have been silly by us. They did not dare to control the ball in the backcourt. They blindly made a clearance and returned the player to us, but it was not enough. In the second half we To chase after the victory, to break the former Kings team! We have to drain the blood of the gunmen, watch their bodies wither and die, and then sing and dance on their bodies!"


    Aldridge''s expression was crazy, and the players were also infected. They roared like a beast and nodded.


    "That''s right, they beat their teeth everywhere!"


    "Tell them who is the boss!"


    "Boss in London!"


    "No, the boss of England!"


    "It won''t give them any chance!"


    "Never be merciful!"


    ...


    Pirlo suddenly looked up and asked: "Boss, aren''t you and Arsenal''s coach a good friend? Is it a reporter who made up blindly?"


    When he asked the question about the exit, the locker room immediately fell silent.


    Everyone knows that since Wenger came to England, when Van Aldridge was asked about Wenger, his words revealed a respectful taste.


    Aldridge froze and shrugged: "Yes, he and I are friends. Because of being friends, I need you to put out 100% fighting spirit and strength to defeat Arsenal. This is between friends. Respect, don¡¯t you think I should play conservatively with a few people in the second half and keep the score unchanged at 2:0? Shouldn¡¯t it be done? No, that¡¯s simply trample on the friendship between me and him, because this is a kind of Contempt, or even humiliation. Uh, it''s like if you compete with your friends to take up posts, will you give the opportunity to your friends because you are strong? Is that good for him? No, society is cruel, you have to make friends aware To your own shortcomings, your own shortcomings, and then enrich yourself."


    After listening, everyone felt fresh and thoughtfully thoughtful.


    Aldrich didn¡¯t teach the players at this time, so he said to them: "You are right, there is only one king in London, there is only one king in England, and there will always be one king in Europe and the world! Football It''s the world where you die and become a king and defeat us. As defending champions, we must take the attitude of the king and step on all the enemies who are trying to challenge our throne. Frightened, playing them unforgettable forever, reminding all opponents when they retired, when they remembered in their old age, that there was a terrible team that scared them, which team is called?"


    "Mad Lion! Millwall!"


    The players shouted in fanatical excitement!

 Chapter 251： Combat Strength

    In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought.


    Aldridge midfield has not changed the tactics, but the details have been adjusted.


    The Gunners'' tactics in the second half did not change much. However, the goal when turning from the defense to the offense no longer blindly pursues fast, but seeks stability first.


    Wenger certainly sees that the reason Arsenal''s success rate in counterattacks in the first half is extremely low is that the ball is quickly intercepted.


    This is almost fatal to Arsenal''s defense, because the offensive players returning to the defense are all rushing forward, and the defensive players are also mentally relaxed because of the success of the defense. Arsenal paid a terrible price.


    When Arsenal attacked, Millwall¡¯s overall formation contracted backwards. They played 433, which was originally a midfielder less than the mainstream 442. When defending, two wingers retreated and the front waist retreated, at least in the number of defenders. They are more dominant.


    With more defense and less, in Arsenal, apart from the ability of Ovimas to play against Capdevila, other players basically have no obvious advantage.


    Because of the lack of attacking numbers, the pass-cut cooperation cannot form a multi-leg pass. Often, it will be a mistake to pass forward after six or seven feet.


    In the fifty-seventh minute of the second half, Millwall was turned from the defender, and Anelka''s shot out of the penalty area was easily taken into the arms by Bout.


    Millwall''s offensive formation began to push upward, and the players scattered and ran out of the receiving position.


    Every time when the offensive ends, Wenger''s heart is tight, urging the players to go back to the defense quickly, otherwise Millwall rushes to fight back quickly, and most of them are taken away by a wave.


    But this time, Millwall really didn''t hit the speed, but slowly advanced upwards, and the rhythm was suddenly accelerated after the front trident reached the threat zone.


    Makelele stepped forward and passed the ball to Pirlo. Pirlo scored to Schneider. The latter took the ball over Pire and then went to the bottom line, which forced Winterbourne to defend and Schneider German oblique pass ribs in the restricted area.


    This routine is too familiar.


    Arsenal''s defensive players are also familiar with this routine.


    Larson ran to the right again, and Adams still had to grapple with his teeth, otherwise the number of defenders on that side was clearly at a disadvantage, and allowing Millwall to play a two-on-one forward counter-offside was equivalent to sending a single-handed ball to the opponent.


    But before going to the assist defense, Adams pointed to the empty space left by him. He could no longer allow Nedved to easily slant into the penalty area without anyone defending and break the door at will.


    Petit went to make up for the space he left behind, and Nedvide also ran there, standing against the line of the big penalty area and not rushing forward.


    Trezeguet took control of Schneider''s diagonal pass and controlled the ball. He couldn''t turn the ball with his back and took a step outside to pass to Nedved.


    Vieira went to **** Nedved and saw that the Czechs also took a step back, avoiding Vieira''s interception and gently returning the ball.


    Almost all of Arsenal''s defensive players were pushed back into the penalty area, which allowed Pirlo to insert unmanned defense. In the face of this foot back to play, Pirlo did not adjust a beautiful long shot!


    boom!


    Seaman didn''t move, the ball hit the goal under the beam.


    "3:0, 3:0, Millwall destroyed Arsenal, the second consecutive match in the league, Wenger lost to Hall, no doubt, last season''s second round of the league''s confrontation, Wenger Arsenal have lost seven goals but missed one goal!"


    Pirlo scored and he ran happily all over the field.


    In the third year of Millwall, he has been growing every year. He changed his midfield in the first season and organized a midfielder. In the second season, he has improved defensively. The shooting method also began to show its power, and the ability to insert assists will slowly be released.


    After Pirlo ran, he stood on the court with his arms wide open and closed his eyes. The handsome Italian guy left a moment of worthy collection for female fans.


    I am not the second Baggio, I am me, and the world will remember my name: Andrea Pirlo!


    Wenger was expressionless on the sidelines, and the third ball completely dispelled all of Arsenal''s expectations for the game.


    His desire to transform the arsenal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.


    In the first round, they met the defending champion or played away. The main force of the opponent left a central defender, and Spanish Elger replaced the position after Stam left. Millwall''s state has entered from the beginning of the season. The best, can be seen from the warm-up match.


    But Arsenal''s two new aids need to run in, especially the double back, Vieira and Petit''s tacit understanding, Ovimas''s play in the offense is also not ideal.


    Sixty minutes before the game, Peter Pan performed well on the wing, but that was only his personal performance, and he was not in rhythm with other teammates. Either he broke through the bottom of the road and no one responded, or he waited for a chance to pass. At that time, Millwall had already set up a formation to starve Anelka and Bergkamp to death. Peter Pan tried to cut inside, and was repeatedly intercepted by Makelele.


    Aldrich shook his head with arms around his chest with a smile, and the strong dialogue always excited him, because the pleasure after the tension was more special.


    He walked back to his seat and sat down, and Benitez''s constant facial paralysis made Aldridge speechless.


    "Can you have fun?"


    Aldrich said to Benitez.


    Benitez also used his small book to write and draw on it. Hearing Aldridge''s words, he turned around and asked: "Which part of Arsenal is wrong? They are not fewer than us in terms of defensive numbers. ."


    "That''s just what it looks like, like Ovimas and Piret backed out of the half. In fact, they didn''t work. The people are in place, but the defensive role is almost negligible. Unless they run around to help defense Before the penalty area, Millwall¡¯s strongest offensive was on the middle. If I were to say Arsenal¡¯s problem, it would be Bogkamp and Anelka. They didn¡¯t return.¡±


    "But Arsenal is a double-back configuration, is it a triple-back?"


    "This has nothing to do with the formation. It''s like Larson starting from the left, but when our three goals appeared, he was all in the right-wing area, scoring a goal directly, and the remaining two attracted defense as teammates. Covered. Nedved is also the same. He starts with a midfielder. He breaks at the forward line when attacking and can retreat to the penalty area when defending. We are attacking with equal numbers of players in the middle. The attacker cooperates with tacit understanding and initiative. Naturally, the defensive side is passive in the running position. With the same number of people, how can they resist?"


    "But if you let Bergkamp go back to the penalty area while defending, is this a tough man?"


    Benitez''s words are not outrageous.


    How many front waists can bring the front waist back to the restricted area in this era? Not to mention letting forwards do this, especially star-level forwards.


    Aldridge spread his hands helplessly: "So I said that let me spend money to buy the stars. If I buy them, it may not meet my requirements. It will take time to transform, why bother? In addition, I think the more big-name stars, the more There is a sense of responsibility. All three of Arsenal¡¯s lost goals come from the center offensive. If players on the field are not aware of their weak points of defense, they can only say that they are not worthy of the star, but perhaps they realize that they are unwilling. It''s just back defense, because that''s not what they should do subconsciously, especially offensive players, who don''t like to do dirty work, but I think real stars should have the spirit of sacrifice."


    The live shot was aimed at Aldridge and recorded his chat with Benitez.


    "It seems that Hall has already grasped the game winning ticket, and it should look like this. The game suspense has disappeared. Although there are still thirty minutes, Arsenal makes people see no hope of equalizing the score. Even if they can It¡¯s a huge question to score a goal at Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium."


    Arsenal was a little bit annoyed and angry, and immediately started a crazy offense after restarting the ball. The backcourt players also attacked, but this made Millwall more excited.


    The anti-anti team needs them to constantly tear open opportunities through positional battles, but the opponents who are attacked are too big behind.


    Three minutes after the third goal was scored, Arsenal attacked on the wing, Pire took the ball inside and was cut off by Schneider, Pire immediately went to grab the ball, and Makelele easily passed the ball back in front of the wing , Schneider went up to the side, and after observing the situation in the frontcourt, it was a precise oblique long pass.


    Arsenal''s back line was previously pressed out. At this time, the space behind him was very large. Schneider''s long pass was moderate in height and fast.


    Trezeguet succeeded in the counter-offside and ran to the left of the big penalty area line. He waited for the ball to fall early, stopped the ball with his chest, and then took a volley.


    The powerful shot made the ball spin without any rotation and flew into the upper corner of the goal erraticly.


    He played the ball in a shocking manner, and his movements were done in one go, which shocked the entire audience.


    After Trezeguet scored, he ran to the corner flag and took off his jersey and threw it on the grass, then kicked it on the corner flag pole, his fists were clenched in front of him, and the muscle lines of the masculine bodybuilder were clear, plus He was so domineering with his stern roar!


    "Who is the king of London!? Who is the boss!"


    Millwall once again defeated Arsenal.


    Wenger sat on the coach''s bench and rubbed his face, feeling as if he could no longer stand it.


    The generals of Arsenal stood blank with their hands on hips and looked blank.


    Can the team on the other side really win? !


    Arsenal''s heart collapsed, Wenger made adjustments, replaced Bald and Pallor, or used Arsenal''s old future to stabilize the situation, plus a defender and midfielder, and removed Anelka and Pire.


    Through these two substitutions, Aldridge knows that Wenger may now know that the offensive will not be possible, as long as he no longer loses the ball.


    Seeing this and this situation, Aldridge didn''t feel soft at all. He replaced Fenzegue with Fanny and Makelele with Barak.


    Pirlo dispatched in the back, and Barak and Nedved inserted assists together. In the midfield and backcourt, Marklele was no longer needed for interception.


    Before the end of the game, Millwall had been suppressing Arsenal''s half-court offense and defense conversion, and Bergkamp did nothing but walk in the middle circle.


    In the 90th minute of the game, Barak hit a long shot from the opposing defender. Pirlo followed with another long shot and hit the man again, but the ball turned to the other side of the penalty area.


    Van Nistelrooy caught the ball poorly, and then pushed the ball into the corner of the goal with a push of the foot, locking the score at 5:0.


    Two homes for two consecutive seasons, Millwall bloodshed Arsenal!


    When the game was over, fans of the crazy lions sang and danced in the stands, singing their choreographed songs on their shoulders.


    "We are crazy lions, we are champions, we are kings of London, we are in the world, everyone likes us, we still don¡¯t care, we only love Millwall, brave and tenacious to meet the difficulties, the roar of the crazy lion will be resounded The universe, the mad lion''s steps will level the world..."


    Aldridge shook hands with Wenger after the game. The two acted exactly the same as they did in the last confrontation. They shook hands, turned around, without saying a word, with no expression on their faces, and one to remain serious.


    Wenger, who lost the ball to the big score, will definitely face the criticism of the media. Aldridge will not sympathize with each other, because the other side does not need it at all. Even if the two people change positions, Aldridge does not need other people''s pity and sympathy.

 Chapter 252： Failed preparation

    At the press conference after the game, when Aldridge arrived, many reporters congratulated him. Millwall played a wonderful game and won a hearty victory. This game will undoubtedly be the Premier League. Focus of the first round.


    Under normal circumstances, the winning side wins a big victory, basically no problems will be exposed, on the contrary, the losing side will have many problems exposed, just like the European Cup Winners Cup final, Millwall won, but the outside world will not Regarding Schneider''s confrontation with Figo, it is a disadvantage to play. This kind of problem will only be brought out to communicate with the players alone when the coaching team retests the technique and tactics.


    "Is Arsenal Wenger''s platoon formation too risky in this game? With knowing that Millwall has a strong midfielder, Arsenal had only two players in the midfield while defending, Petit and Victoria Ella apparently has not formed a tacit understanding, and the defensive substitutions can¡¯t keep up with Millwall¡¯s rhythm. At the same time, Wenger let Ovimas, Anelka and Pire play, giving up like Palor. The veteran''s starting, which has dramatically reduced their ability to control the game."


    Steve Howard, who wrote the battle report for The Sun, directed the topic directly to Arsenal.


    Wenger shrugged off angrily in the previous interview because the Fleet Street reporters sneered at him, I am afraid he was also the wrong candidate in the eyes of fans.


    Aldrich replied seriously: "I will not point the finger at the work of my peers, because my principle is simple, I respect other coaches, and I hope that other coaches respect me, I am a coach, nothing more, Ball review or battle report analysis, that''s not my job."


    "From a neutral perspective, do you think Wenger can lead Arsenal on the road to revival?"


    Aldridge shook his head and smiled.


    "From the first day he came to London, reporters, fans, and even players didn¡¯t welcome him. Actually, reporters didn¡¯t like me either. You criticized Millwall for his lack of English elements. I¡¯m pretty sure that if I Can''t lead the team to win the championship, then you will treat me with the same disdainful attitude towards Wenger. But then again, there are many sick mentalities in the football circle, and many people start to question Wenger''s name. He, he questioned him before he came to London, I don¡¯t understand, he hasn¡¯t done anything, why should he question him? There are media, there are Arsenal fans, maybe these people think so : I question him first, no matter what he says and what he does, just question him, and when he fails, then it seems how prescient I am. But even then, what exactly does this kind of person want? If you want If you question, then you should question why Arsenal hired Wenger, to question the club, to question Dane, or that many Arsenal fans still miss Graham, then question why Graham lost his handsome position. ."


    "But the team Wenger took over was a top team."


    "Really? Is it a top team? I don''t deny that Graham brought a lot of trophies to Arsenal and had dominated English football for a while. However, Arsenal''s last top league championship was at 91 After the establishment of the Premier League in 2003, they ranked 10th in 1993, runner-up in 1994, 12th in 95, 6th in 96, and Wenger led 4th last year. He took over five consecutive teams. The team that did not win the league in the season, only 10 points higher than the relegation zone at the worst time, the runner-up at the best time, the bookmaker is very sensible, Arsenal won the odds in the past few years has not entered the top three of."


    "Mr. Hall, why do you stand up to Wenger so much? Because you are friends?"


    "No! Because I have experienced the same unfair treatment! When I announced the takeover of the team in the summer of 1994, there was no media in England, no one could treat me fairly, everyone questioned me, everyone I can never forget what was written in the newspapers at that time, saying that I was a kid, using the team as a toy, everyone was waiting to watch a good show, how to see a man described as a **** how to betray the family and lead the ball The team fell into the abyss. No one said a reasonable word with an objective and fair attitude, and only those fans who really supported the Millwall club and hoped that this team became better and better, they would play slogan support in the stands Me, they hope I can do something to change the club. I think this is the most correct attitude. Arsenal fans do not complain, anger, question everything, but calm down and look forward to Wenger doing for Arsenal Order something."


    Aldrich is straightforward, and usually either doesn''t speak, but tells the truth.


    As the head coach, he was very disgusted with doubts from outside.


    Not only to the head coach, sometimes this kind of doubt will be directed at the player.


    It¡¯s normal for players¡¯ performance to fluctuate, which is normal. People are not machines, and it¡¯s natural for performance not to be on a level. Coaches will analyze the reasons for the fluctuating situation of players, but the outside world will not be so rational and objective. This unprovoked accusation is placed on the player''s head, which increases the psychological pressure of the player, causing the situation that could be restored by a slight adjustment to become a decline.


    The reporters at the scene looked at each other, feeling that the taste of the press conference had changed.


    The pattern of congratulations on Millwall''s victory and the joy of peace and happiness, turned into Audric shooting at them.


    "Mr. Hall, do you really hope that Wenger has been coaching Arsenal? He has fought with you two times and he was defeated. You wouldn¡¯t want to keep one defeat to make Milwall keep suppressing Arsenal. ?"


    A reporter from the Star newspaper raised such a question and caused a burst of laughter from colleagues.


    Aldridge was also smirked.


    "Heart of a villain. I tell you why, because Wenger is an excellent head coach. He coached in the Premier League. This is a blessing for English football. It can make English football attract more outside eyes in Europe. I am the head coach. Coach, I also hope that the Premier League has more and more excellent head coaches, so that the Premier League is full of challenges, so that my team can meet more and more strong enemies in the league. This is a good thing for players and coaches. ."


    ...


    Aldrich''s sincere remarks were mostly misinterpreted as "concealing evil" in the football sections of major newspapers published the following day.


    By keeping Wenger, Millwall will be able to ride Arsenal forever.


    The arsenal is simply the lunch of the crazy lion.


    4:0, 5:0...


    Millwall was in the New Year when he met Arsenal.


    Aldridge was too lazy to listen to external comments. The team''s league opener showed good momentum, and three days later, they will usher in the second round of the Premier League.


    Still at home, facing Newcastle United led by Dalglish.


    In the case of winning the championship early last season, Millwall''s expedition to St James Park Stadium was defeated by Newcastle United. That was the only two defeats they had in the league last season.


    Originally this game was nothing to watch, because Newcastle United is not what it used to be. In addition to Hiller''s pressure, the former stars, Ferdinand and Ginola have already left. Beardsley is too old to turn to Bolton to play the heat. , The two teams have a great distance from the strength.


    But the media has rendered this as a battle of revenge.


    Aldridge does not have a revenge mentality, but treats it as an ordinary league.


    At Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium, Millwall continued his good momentum. From a tactical perspective, Aldridge¡¯s tactical philosophy was just to restrain the traditional tactics behind Dalglish. He played two wings and passed. Millwall penetrated the ground. Last season''s substitute defeat to the opponent is the opponent''s ability to play a role.


    In the second round of the league, Millwall directly let Hiller walk for 90 minutes on the front line and then sent away Dalglish''s team with the same score.


    5:0.


    Millwall won two games in the new season, and the full firepower seemed to make the whole of England tremble.


    Aldrich shook hands with Dalglish as usual after the game, and a few words at the press conference got up and left.


    In his view, it is a matter of course to win a five-ball Newcastle United team that has played a major role in the summer at home.


    He valued the next League Cup match.


    Guest challenge the low-level team Lincoln City.


    The Lincoln City League Cup was able to draw England''s most successful team last season. They were overjoyed, because the TV broadcast income will definitely allow them to divide a lot, and the attendance on the court will definitely be much higher than usual.


    Aldridge didn''t even bring a main player with him, leaving a formation without a center.


    Goalkeeper: Keller.


    Guards: Mills, Ferdinand, Materazzi, Neal.


    Midfielders: Van der Med, Gattuso, Barak, Zambrotta.


    Forwards: Duff, Glenshare.


    In order to exercise the team''s ability to go sideways, switch positions in the winger and insert offensive after midfield.


    The game was very difficult, because the opponent was a dead defender, and Glenn Carre had the ball inside. It was a bit unsatisfactory to let him run inside to find opportunities.


    The same is true of Duff''s problems.


    Aldridge commanded the game very hard, almost no moment of rest, constantly reminding the frontcourt players to run, and when the opportunity arises, they call the players to their ears to raise their lives.


    In the end, it was VanderMead''s beautiful side pass. Barak inserted the header and scored a goal to win the next round.


    In the third round of the Premier League, Millwall made a guest appearance at Anfield, challenging them to Liverpool, the Reds, who have won four games in the Premier League in the past two years.


    The result of the game was unexpected.


    Millwall lost 0:1 away.


    Evans faced Aldridge''s five defeats in the past two years. Although it was a shameful record, he also played out his experience.


    To say which team in the All England Premier League is the most powerful and serious about playing Millwall, it is none other than Liverpool.


    In the whole game, they contracted the half, strengthened the interception in front of the penalty area, compressed the empty space behind them, and there was only one person in front of the single arrow, Golden Boy Owen.


    At the end of the game, Aldridge was covered with frost. He defended the performance of the players in the locker room, especially Schneider.


    Millwall scored more than 30 goals to no avail. Liverpool scored five shots at home. One shot was positive. The only goal was that Irving rushed over from Schneider and was hurried by Elgra. Ground, Liverpool won by a penalty kick.


    Before the game, Aldridge repeatedly reminded the team to pay attention to Irving and Irving.


    But the big guy didn''t listen, thinking that the kid had no skill.


    As a result, the team lost to the penalty created by Irving.


    This defeat made Millwall''s morale in the locker room very low.


    The errant Schneider and Elgra kept their heads down, and Aldridge criticized them mercilessly and roared for three minutes.


    "We are not unable to bear the failure, but if the reason for failure is from our own contempt, then the instinctive factor, then, I cannot accept it, and you should not accept it! We have won a lot of trophies in the past two years and also won Liverpool many times, but life is not based on memories! If you take it lightly, or if you are not prepared for victory, you are ready to fail!"


    Aldridge left the locker room after criticizing the team''s defense performance. The players themselves had to communicate with each other to summarize the team, and he had to deal with the downfall of Fleet Street.

 Chapter 253： Lion War

    The atmosphere at the post-match press conference today was a bit weird.


    The game score was dazzling 1: 0.


    The guest Millwall lost the ball and nobody can change the facts.


    In the rematch, Schneider and Elgra appeared distracted while defending. The former made a steal and left behind an empty space. The latter recklessly hit the ball with Irving in the penalty area and gave Liverpool a winning penalty.


    But since the game is lost, the responsibility is the head coach.


    Aldridge didn''t look good, but he never thought of putting the blame on others. He had a good idea of ??how to deal with the media.


    When he sat down to prepare for the media''s verbal criticism, David Miller asked a question that made him stunned.


    "Mr. Hall, do you have any comment on Liverpool''s conservative tactics today? For most of the game, Liverpool shrank in the second half at Anfield, and often saw six Liverpool defensive players in the penalty area, plus Outside the penalty area, within 40 yards of the goal, Liverpool has more than 70 minutes with nine players defending. Is this a passive anti-football tactic?"


    Ok?


    Uh!


    Aldrich looked around the audience. The reporters on the stage stared at him with concentration. Most of them showed sadness on their faces and seemed to be worried about something.


    This atmosphere does not seem to come to condemn him, nor to come to see him jokes.


    "I don''t quite understand what you are asking. Liverpool won today."


    Aldrich suspected that he had heard it wrong.


    David Miller said seriously: "Yes, they won the game and won the game in a very ugly way. If Liverpool continue to continue the tactics of this game in the future, then even if they keep winning, they will be better than they have been. Arsenal, titled the library, is even more unappreciative. I think this kind of football is not what fans would like to see. Although Millwall lost today, you still have an overwhelming advantage for most of the time. The lack of goals in the second shot only shows that Millwall is out of luck today."


    When David Miller elaborated his point of view, other reporters also nodded their heads. Only the media reporters of Merseyside looked astonished. They felt that these journalists from London were too shameful. Millwall lost. Ball, they still licked their faces in praise of Millwall.


    Aldrich understood the thoughts of these reporters.


    From the perspective of the public, the focus of the battle between Millwall and Liverpool cannot be said to be unappreciative, because Millwall''s anti-guest pressure on Liverpool''s mad bombing is constantly mobilizing the passion of the audience, but it is to make the audience feel passionate. The other side lost the ball, this contrast is unacceptable.


    "I know that Mr. Hall is not willing to evaluate his peers, but Roy Evans defeated you in this way. Can you really accept it calmly?"


    Richard of the Daily Mail asked angrily.


    Following reports of Millwall for more than three years, he has almost become a **** fan of Millwall, and published articles tend to be professional and objective, rather than just booing and meaningless.


    Cough!


    Aldridge coughed twice, and then solemnly said: "I can''t accept it calmly, because Millwall lost, I am disappointed with the result, disappointed with the team, you said that breaking the door lacks luck, I think that It is a matter of strength. Luck on the court will only stand on the side with strength, so no matter what kind of miracle, it is created by a team with a strength foundation. Millwall is not strong enough and breaks in the face of intensive defense. It was very difficult, but I firmly believe that the team still has room to improve, and we will do better in the future. As for Liverpool, they won the game, which is more important than everything, more so-called ornamental."


    "But you used to scoff at Arsenal in the Graham era."


    "No, I have never denied Arsenal in the Graham era. I just explained from a neutral point of view that Arsenal played boring games at that time, but did not think that Arsenal''s tactics were wrong, nor you Anti-soccer in the mouth. Football only has rules, and there are no ornamental points. The victory or defeat is reflected in the score. I have seen the materials of coach training courses in many European countries. None of them define the strength of football as a football game. Weak standard. As the head coach, whether or not he has his own style, I think the first thing is to help the team win the game, winning the game is the most basic goal, if on this basis can make the game look good, then It is an ideal, so when the basic goal cannot be achieved, you cannot ask all head coaches to pursue the ideal."


    Aldridge¡¯s words won the unanimous approval of the Merseyside media.


    They think this young handsome is really a respectable person.


    Although they were also dissatisfied with Evans'' conservative tactics in this game, they won the game, which made them happy.


    If you don''t play like this, Liverpool won''t be able to usher in a defeat again.


    Millwall¡¯s powerful people know that Liverpool¡¯s lineup is not as strong as the mad lion, and it is reasonable to be tactically conservative.


    Those who are neutral, don''t care about the Liverpool league rankings, of course, want to see the two teams play a offensive football, but that is for Liverpool.


    If Evans dared a six-game losing streak against Millwall, he might not be able to keep his job, so in this case, it is more realistic not to talk about ideal football, beautiful football, or keeping the job.


    The Inter Milan godfather Herrera initially made the team very beautiful, but she couldn''t win the championship. The old Moratti directly made an ultimatum. Herrera had to change the team for the job. The defensive style, plus the unscrupulous means of victory, has created a great international era.


    "If all opponents use this passive tactic against Millwall, how should Millwall respond?"


    "We will have our own way, how the opponent will line up, I will not blame, even if the opponent''s 11 players are standing in front of the goal to defend the goal, I don''t care, because the opponent does not violate the football rules, they can do so Do it, just as we have seven players attacking the opponent''s half, the opponent can of course allow nine players to go back to defense."


    Aldrich told another big truth today, although his remarks made Fleet Street blame: We are on your side!


    But the Merseyside media highly praised Aldridge.


    A handsome young man.


    Win is win, lose is lose.


    There is no complaint to lose today, and I am determined to win back next time when I fight again.


    Isn''t this football?


    You can''t lose without complaining.


    What''s more, when Aldridge first took charge of the team, his tactics were very conservative. The defensive counterattack in the First Division made all teams dizzy. The media also laughed at Millwall as an athletic team on the football field.


    Liverpool''s home victory over Millwall seemed to tell other teams silently: To play Millwall, it was like we played!


    Four days later, Aldridge really went viral.


    Millwall played Wimbledon away. Not only did the game not win, the two sides didn''t score a goal, the tactics used by the gangs were similar to Liverpool, anyway, they contracted, and they also used killing tactics.


    Pirlo and Capdevila withdrew from the field with injuries, and the Lampard Community Shield was shoveled with a cracked calf. Millwall even injured three people within a month of the start of the new season.


    Aldridge protested that the referee was directly sent off with a red card during the game. Even if he appealed after the match, the FA ignored it and dismissed it directly, and punished him for three more suspensions.


    In the last league game at the end of August, Millwall played against Leicester City led by Martin O''Neill.


    Aldridge sat in the stands watching the battle calmly.


    O''Neill was a pragmatic head coach, so he led the team to the Lion''s Cave Stadium and did the shrinking thing.


    Millwall still has a strong dominance in the game, but in the face of intensive defense, it seems to be a lack of skills.


    "Son, is the team okay? Why have you had such bad luck lately?"


    Arthur sitting beside Aldridge worried.


    Millwall won''t score, Leicester City put a dense defensive formation to compress space with a static position, which directly caused Millwall players to run out of space, threatening to take the ball in the threat zone, and getting rid of it on the spot. Hopefully, long shots are either blocked or flying, and it seems that luck is needed to break the door.


    "We were the champion last season, and all teams in the new season are particularly energetic. It has nothing to do with luck."


    Aldrich''s head is running fast.


    If Millwall played Arsenal, a team that dared to attack, such as Newcastle United, would have the space and ability to penetrate the opponent''s defense even if he played less and played more.


    But in the face of Liverpool''s own strength and defensive counterattack, or Wimbledon''s melee tactics, Millwall''s advantage is minimized. Today''s Leicester City play and Liverpool Very much the same.


    O''Neill has trained the team for a year and a half. From the perspective of O''Dridge, this team''s defense, if it is not a player''s ability limitation, they can become a top line of defense, which reflects O''Neill''s coaching ability, giving him second-rate Defensive players, creating a close to first-class defense line, which is reminiscent of Kevin Keegan, has a first-class defensive player, but rumbling, the team''s defense line has become rugby.


    The counterattack in Leicester City is also very simple. There is Tony Tony in the front of the bridge. After the defense is successful, the ball is handed over to the **** who runs out of the air. Then someone on either side of the sideways plugs in at a high speed. Tony then divides the ball to the side. No more than three people are devoted to the entire attack.


    Makelele completed eight interceptions in the audience. There were two successful Tony scores to the side. If it was not Schneider and Zambrotta who quickly recovered and successfully destroyed the opponent¡¯s attack, Millwall¡¯s defense will pull again. Sound the alarm.


    When the whistle at the end of the game sounded, the live camera was aimed at Aldridge in the stands. Arthur next to him looked very frustrated by covering his face, while Aldridge was expressionless.


    The defending champion suffered two draws, one loss and three defeats after two big wins in the new league season. He only scored two points, and Aldridge¡¯s suspension continued.


    "The test for Hall is here again. This is probably a problem for the Premier League team. How to break the intensive defense? When the opponent''s defense line stabilizes in the backcourt in a static manner within 90 minutes, you will feel that the opponent There is no pursuit, and they don¡¯t want to win the game, but this reflects their fear of Millwall. Yes, they may not have expectations of winning, but they are more reluctant to accept defeat or be scored by Millwall. Blood washing, last season, many teams in the Premier League were beaten by Millwall, and even the traditional three giants were double-killed. Midstream and downstream teams have chosen to keep the draw. Who can blame them? Hall? Can Millwall, who is now the target of all, return to the track of victory? This is his challenge, and it is also the challenge of Millwall. Perhaps this is a war against the All England team with the passionate lion alone. We are disappointed with today¡¯s game, but we should expect the final result of this war in the future."


    Martin Taylor expressed poetic emotions at the end of the game.


    Aldridge is indeed planning a new round of transformation of the team, in fact, he is not willing to do so, because the team will play in the Champions League this year, although there is no way to talk about the big changes, but the requirements for players It will be higher. If the team cannot adapt to the changes in a short period of time, this season will declare the end of the crash in advance.


    Just as Aldridge was about to leave for the UEFA Champions League group draw, a bad news shocked the United Kingdom and the world.


    On August 31, 1997, Princess Diana died in Paris due to a car accident!

 Chapter 254： Three rookies and three good picks

    The night before preparing to go to Switzerland, Aldridge spent a peaceful time with Melanie at home.


    Suddenly hearing the news of Princess Diana¡¯s accidental death, it shocked the whole of Britain because people lost a national idol.


    Especially girls like Melanie who was born in Liverpool are very fond of Princess Diana who dares to break the royal bondage. It is no exaggeration to say that during the growth of their generation, there are not many public figures who can worship them , And the positive image of Princess Diana is a personification of people¡¯s good wishes.


    Although Melanie couldn''t cry out loud and exhausted, she was obviously depressed and depressed.


    Once she is unhappy, she can''t control her appetite.


    Aldrich dragged her sitting cross-legged on the sofa holding a pile of snacks.


    "Why? I don''t want to move."


    "It''s nothing. Let''s vent. If you overeating like this not only damages your health, sometimes you are unhappy, you just want to vent it."


    When the two came to the gym, Aldridge threw the gloves to her, put on a protective board, raised his arms to make a defensive posture, and said to her: "Fighting with all your strength, no matter what depression in your heart, venting, chick , To be honest, you never hurt me, sports babes? Just show."


    Melanie rolled her eyes, her anger rose a little, she blew her hair and said, "Well, you want to make me angry and succeeded."


    After all, she threw her fists wildly and struck Aldridge...


    Twenty minutes later, the two sat against the wall of the gym. Aldridge was intact, but Melanie''s arm was sore and sweaty.


    Her head rested on Aldridge''s shoulder, and said quietly: "Aldrich, will you always do this to me?"


    "Oh, moved?"


    "Well. Why haven''t I seen you when you were unhappy?"


    "Maybe I can see everything."


    "Your mentality is like an old man."


    "At the very least, I won''t hurt myself. You, don''t go to everything in your heart. When you''re not upset, try to make yourself happy and eat hard. Uh, I like plump women, but not It means I like obese women."


    "Hehehe, let''s do sports again. I have no energy. It''s time for you to do some work."


    Melanie twisted her body into Aldridge''s arms, staring affectionately at his eyes, her hands slowly unbuttoning his shirt buttons one by one...


    As Princess Diana¡¯s death was partly blamed for the paparazzi¡¯s ¡°surrounding and blocking¡±, which caused the whole society to condemn the media industry for excessive privacy violations, Aldridge felt that it would be a little easier for the next period of time, at least the media industry Of workers will converge a little bit.


    Switzerland, Nyon.


    The scene of the draw of the UEFA Champions League team in the 97/98 season.


    Aldrich in suits and shoes looks like a stranger here, because he is too young, and the head coach at the meeting is not at least 20 years older than him.


    On this occasion where famous coaches gathered, Aldridge saw many familiar coaches.


    Real Madrid''s new coach Heinx, Barcelona''s new coach Van Gaal, Parma coach Ancelotti, Juventus coach Lippi, Bayern Munich coach Trapattoni...


    Aldrich was sitting on either side of a half-acquaintance.


    Monaco coach Tijana sat on his left, and on the right was Ancelotti, who had talked about Thuram on the phone.


    Although Tigana and Aldrich were both the league champion coaches last season, Ancelotti led Parma to take the runner-up in the Serie A of the small World Cup. This is definitely a remarkable achievement. The three people sat together and whispered this year. The situation, speculating on the possibility of grouping, and communicating with each other to assess the strength of other teams.


    "Dortmund will definitely not work, don''t look at winning the championship last season, Heathfield walked away, the overall lineup is one year old, this year is definitely a break, you see, they didn''t even take the runner-up in the league last season, if not The Champions League won the championship, where can I see Dortmund now?"


    "How about the two teams in the Netherlands?"


    "I don''t think it will be the same. Although Eindhoven and Feyenoord also play in the European Championships all year round, they are not in the Champions League after all. This year, they have expanded from 16 teams to 24, and their competitiveness has become more intense. To be honest, the gap between strength and weakness will be greatly increased."


    Aldridge listened to the two meeting and talked, he couldn''t help interrupting: "Hey, hello, three of us are Champions League rookies. Once the eldest girl gets on the sedan chair, let''s not talk about others. Six groups The top two qualifying teams plus the second best team second, in case of a score in the death group, can we qualify is a big problem."


    Ann Fat and Tigana turned their heads to stare at Aldridge at the same time for three seconds, and then the three laughed together.


    "Hahaha, yes, we are all rookies."


    Ancelotti''s debut was one year later than Audric. He only officially coached the team in 1995, and he will be on the Champions League stage two years later.


    However, perhaps it is this kind of newborn calf who is not afraid of tiger''s self-confidence, which makes them not like the other head coaches, such as Ferguson and Heinkes.


    No matter what the draw is, the fight is right.


    The current UEFA Champions League group is extremely cruel, 24 teams are divided into 6 groups, each group 4 teams top qualifying, in addition to compare the second score of each group, the best two qualify for the knockout, the group stage is over Then there was the fierce quarter-finals.


    UEFA''s current chairman Johansson delivered a speech and also presented some awards. Among them, Millwall was selected by UEFA as the best team in Europe last season.


    This made Aldrich much attention. He also thanked UEFA. It is reasonable to say that Dortmund won the Champions League last season, but Dortmund performed in the league. Milwall won the triple crown and broke the dust. The long five-game winning streak in the league has been spotlighted for a while, and the election is not a surprise. However, this award will not cause much controversy for UEFA to give a champion team any chance, because the champion division of each league cannot proceed. Compared.


    When the lottery ceremony began, the head coaches of the clubs present looked serious, as if waiting for a trial.


    Aldridge looked at the lottery calmly.


    After the draw result came out, Tigana smiled, and Ancelotti smiled.


    Both coaches were satisfied with the draw.


    Monaco is in a group with Leverkusen, Atletico Lisbon and Lias, avoiding the championship and runner-up teams in the three major leagues of England, Italy, West and Spain.


    Tigana is full of confidence in the prospect of qualifying.


    Ancelotti''s signing is not particularly good.


    Palma is in the same group as Dortmund, Sparta Prague and Galatasaray.


    However, An Fang just defied the defending champion Dortmund. In his view, as long as Dortmund is eliminated, the qualifying situation is also good. He has confidence in himself.


    The two shook hands with each other, congratulated each other, and then looked at Aldridge with a compassionate look.


    Millwall''s sign, a bit back.


    In the same group, in addition to La Liga giants Barcelona, ??there are Dutch champions Eindhoven and Ukrainian champions Dynamo Kiev.


    This group almost did not send the boys kind of team, especially in the same group with the strong Barcelona, ??coupled with the possible disruption of Dynamo Kiev and Eindhoven, Millwall even if they get second, maybe Points will also be less than the second place in other groups.


    Seeing the eyes of the two, Aldridge stretched out his hands to cross in front of him, shook hands with the two, and said with a smile: "Good sign, good sign."


    It''s no wonder that others looked at him with such sympathetic eyes. Although Millwall defeated Barcelona just a few months ago, in the traditional impression, Millwall is an upset. In terms of overall strength, the outside world will not think of Mill. Wall has been able to sit on an equal footing with Barcelona, ??which is quite normal. The big players buy stars every day, and the popularity they have accumulated actually reflects the strength of the impression.


    However, this "impression" is often incorrect. Have you ever seen the Real Madrid Galaxy Battleship traveling through the universe, but you have stopped in the top 16 every year...


    "Alas, your Premier League champion''s draw is not as good as that of the Premier League runner-up over there."


    Tigana glanced at Manchester United''s group and immediately sighed.


    Manchester United, Juventus, Feyenoord, Caesus, a team of four.


    In addition to the strength of the Serie A champion Juventus led by Lippi, Feyenoord is the runner-up of the Netherlands, Caesars is from Slovakia, and it is almost the fishmeal that scores the teams. Even if Manchester United can¡¯t compete for Juventus, Beat Feyenoord, and then score points from the Slovakia champion, the second team in the top two is no problem.


    Aldridge was not envious of this, and smiled: "If you are jealous, why not be jealous of Real Madrid? Look, Rosenberg, Norway, Olympiacos, Greece, Porto, Portugal, Real Madrid have suspense in qualifying. ?I think my signing is good. Barcelona is a big hit. Millwall can fish in muddy water."


    This sentence was definitely from Aldridge''s heart.


    Malle Gobi, became a target in the Premier League. They were almost destroyed by defensive counterattacks. It is better not to be hot. It is better that other teams meet Millwall and feel that they have hope. You all **** Don''t be a tortoise, give Lao Tzu a real sword!


    Humph!


    Aldrich''s voice had just dropped, and there were two sneers from behind him.


    He, Ancelotti and Tigana all looked back, only to find that it was Barcelona coach Van Gaal sitting behind them. His expression was a little cold, and he glanced contemptuously at Audric and then withdrew his eyes. He lifted his chin and looked forward.


    Aldrich turned around casually and sat down.


    Tigana smiled and patted the back of his hand while Aldridge made a grimace.


    All first-team players from Millwall in London watch live TV at home. After determining Millwall''s grouping, they picked up the phone and told each other to their teammates.


    "Have you watched TV?"


    "Look, it''s a good sign."


    "Yeah, Barcelona, ??Eindhoven, Dynamo Kiev, we have no problem qualifying."


    "Done right, I dreamed with Real Madrid, Juventus, Barcelona last night to a group that scared me."


    "Eh? How is it possible? The group stage with the same national team to avoid."


    "Who can control the dream? That''s how it is divided, and then it''s dim and dark."


    "Did we finally qualify?"


    "I don''t know. When I dreamed of the fourth game and Juventus was dead, I was awakened by urine."


    "What about the first three games?"


    "Ah? As a result, I forgot. I scored four goals anyway. I undressed at Bernabeu to celebrate."


    "what about me?"


    "I think about it, as if you weren''t there, yeah, who''s on the right back can''t remember it."


    "roll!"


    The above dialogue took place between Trezeguet and Schneider.

 Chapter 255： Old friends meet again

    After returning to London from Switzerland, Aldridge received an invitation letter from the British royal family.


    He was invited to attend the funeral of Princess Diana on the morning of September 6.


    In the past three years, Aldridge has been working in London and is the most popular football field for the public. His popularity has skyrocketed. He will also attend some charity activities in his free time. His positive image and his family are active in the business world. It is not surprising that Aldridge can receive an invitation from the royal family. After all, he is only one of more than two thousand VIPs.


    On the morning of the funeral, in Westminster Abbey, Barnett, who has not been seen for a long time, also rushed back from the United States to attend the funeral.


    The two brothers sat in a black suit expressionlessly, listening to the priest''s eulogy, and some big figures or princess Diana''s close friends also came to the stage to give mourning speeches.


    Aldridge didn''t feel sad. After all, he hadn''t spent much time in England in the past many years. He paid tribute to Princess Diana, that''s all.


    "You also have friendships with members of the royal family?"


    Aldrich asked quietly to his elder brother.


    Barnett replied softly: "At the turn of the head, occasionally I met in social occasions. Sometimes when I was doing charity in order to improve my image, I would also invite the members of the royal family to show their faces.


    "Oh, how about in America?"


    "Very well, you can''t imagine how rich we are now. I can immediately give you 200 million pounds to pay off the club''s debt."


    "No, if I run a club with the principle of burning money at no cost, I can''t burn anyone else."


    "Exaggerated, soon, the Hall family is the richest boss in all the clubs in England."


    "Hum, don''t be arrogant, there are more people in the world than you, and the more terrifying is the consortium. Burning money, we will never burn others, there is no need to mess up the rules of the game."


    "That money should always be spent. I am looking for someone to help me find a few luxury homes in London. Do you have any special requirements, estate design or geographic location."


    "No, I think my apartment is just fine. It doesn''t look luxurious, but it''s comfortable."


    "Poor life!"


    "Thank you."


    Cough.


    The members of the royal family who didn''t know which country in the front probably heard the whispers of the two brothers, looked back at them with a little dissatisfaction, and then coughed softly as a warning.


    Aldrich and Barnett concealed their middle fingers together after turning around each other.


    The funeral ceremonial specifications are very high, and should be the most sensational funeral in the world in recent years.


    Not only did more than one million people in the city of London watch the princess on the sides of the street, but the funeral live TV broadcast was watched by more than one billion viewers worldwide.


    In addition to attending the funeral, Aldridge sold its classic costumes at a sky-high price of millions of pounds in the subsequent auction of Princess Relics. The London Museum of Art collection is for the world¡¯s appreciation.


    This allows Aldridge to gain greater visibility and image in this sad moment of all England.


    He was really selfish in doing this, just to shape his public image, he represented the Millwall Club, ordinary people pay attention to him, and part of the attention will be transferred to Millwall.


    A few days after the end of the funeral, it was FIFA International Competition Day, and Aldridge had a lot of leisure.


    One day before lunch at noon, Aldridge received another invitation, but it was an invitation for lunch.


    He came to an apartment in a secluded neighborhood close to the eastern suburbs and gently knocked on the door with a bottle of red wine in his hand.


    Soon, someone opened the door, and a mature and gentle female face came into view.


    "Aldrich, I haven''t seen you for more than two years? You are more like a man than when you first met."


    Aldrich saw the mature woman in home casual clothes in front of her, completely unable to see from her how she felt helpless when she first met.


    He walked into the apartment and smiled: "Ms. Rowling, I can hardly recognize you."


    "Please call me Joanne, just like we did in the letter."


    At this time, Rowling is completely like a personal change, gentle and generous and flying, and the eyebrows reveal a happy taste.


    Aldridge smiled after raising his eyebrows: "Okay, then, Joanne, a little polite, not respectful."


    He handed the red wine to him, and Rowling accepted it generously.


    There is already a rich meal on the dining table in the living room. A little girl with a jade-like finish sits at the table watching a cartoon on TV. When Rowling and Aldridge walk in, she looks back and straightens her eyes. Staring at Aldridge, he suddenly shouted, "Uncle Hall."


    Aldridge was surprised and surprised: "The last time I saw you was a baby, did you know me?"


    "Know, my mother showed me your photos and said you are the best person in the world. Sometimes I can see you on TV, sometimes you can be scary."


    Rowling''s daughter Jessica, a four-year-old girl, put Aldridge in embarrassment.


    Rowling immediately raised her face and said, "Jessica, I have said it many times. Uncle Hall was working, like a strict teacher."


    Aldridge, who appeared in the TV footage, was naturally directing the game. Sometimes with adrenaline bursts, roaring or crazy body movements were normal.


    Fortunately, he doesn''t look ugly or evil, otherwise he will frighten the child if he is angry.


    Sit down at the dinner table, Aldridge looked at a sumptuous lunch and sighed with emotion.


    "What''s wrong? Are these unpleasant?"


    Rowling asked with a nervous expression, fearing that she would neglect Aldridge, as she told her daughter, Aldridge looked like a **** in her eyes, helping her out of the most difficult period of life.


    Aldrich quickly shook his head and said: "No, it''s just that unless I go home for dinner, I always cook by myself, and I rarely sit back and enjoy it."


    "Don''t you have a girlfriend?"


    "Uh, her work is busier than mine."


    "Then you can try my craft today."


    Aldridge thanked him and chatted with the mother and daughter.


    "You came to London in April? Why didn''t you tell me?"


    Aldridge¡¯s expression was a little dissatisfied. In fact, he didn¡¯t have many friends outside his work. In addition to the few friends who grew up, Rowling was one. The two had established a delicate relationship in the past. Able to talk openly about many topics.


    Sometimes Aldridge also encounters confusion in life, although he actually lived a long time, and his life experience is rich, but some changes are fresh, such as how to face friends because his family is getting better and better, most of the time To take care of the feelings of friends, etc., he rarely talks with others, but will talk to Rowling.


    "You are busy at work, I don''t want to disturb you, and I want to work, now I can finally relax."


    Rowling said as usual, only she knew that she came to London in April and still had nothing. She was still the single mother who needed Audridge to support her creation, but now, it is different. Although the money is very vulgar, she is now It can completely survive independently, and can appear in front of Audridge with a brand-new image without relying on anyone.


    After Aldridge froze, he said with a beam of joy: "Has Harry Potter been published?"


    Rowling nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, it was already available in June."


    Aldridge said apologetically: "I''m sorry, I don''t know, because I rarely visit bookstores, I only visit once every six months, buy a lot of books at a time, and buy new ones after reading on the shelf. It¡¯s my regret not to congratulate you for the first time, no matter what, congratulations on your success! Great writer, respect you a cup!¡±


    Rowling smiled softly and turned to Aldridge after clinking with Aldridge.


    "I heard that you have been in trouble at work recently?"


    "What''s the trouble?"


    "It is written in the newspaper that you are banned. I''m surprised. Are you not a coach? Will the coach be suspended if he doesn''t play football?"


    "Oh, yes, I can''t direct the team to play. It''s not too much trouble. This kind of thing is normal for the coach."


    "Then you have trouble?"


    "No, I actually encountered new challenges, which made me more excited."


    "Can''t you give me a chance to comfort you?"


    ...


    After lunch, Rowling returned to the bedroom and took out two things and handed them to Aldridge.


    "This envelope is a check. It''s the money you funded me over the years. This is "Harry Potter and the Magic Stone." I wrote a message on the title page as a gift from a friend."


    Aldridge accepted without hesitation.


    Even if it was a check, he didn''t have any idea to quit.


    It¡¯s not that he has to worry about money, but he knows that only by accepting this cheque can the relationship between him and Rowling return to the level of equality. She can bury that gratitude in her heart. , At least not materially owe each other.


    "Mom, can you hang out today?"


    Jessica stared at Aldridge, and she seemed to be thinking of going out for fun through Aldridge''s east wind.


    "Joanne, are you busy here?"


    "Well, yes, because I want to write the follow-up series of "Harry Potter", I usually don''t have time to take her out, and I''m not too familiar here."


    After thinking for a while, Aldridge said, "Well, I will take a rest today, and take her to a fun place in London in the afternoon."


    Rowling looked at her pitiful daughter and smiled and agreed.


    Throughout the afternoon, Aldridge accompanied the mother and daughter to play in various attractions in London, let Jessica ride around her neck, Aldridge took her little hands, Rowling followed silently with a handbag, eyes soft Staring at the picture ahead.


    There are many museums, castles, libraries, parks, and scenery in London, and Aldridge has basically been there, so this guide deserves to be competent.


    When night fell, Aldridge brought Jessica, who was tired to sleep, into Rowling¡¯s arms downstairs in Rowling¡¯s apartment, then waved with a smile: ¡°It¡¯s not too late, I should go, today Had a great time."


    "Well, you are welcome to be a guest. Aldrich, thank you. Jessica hasn''t been so happy for a long time, she likes you very much."


    Aldridge shrugged his head shyly, scratching his head embarrassedly: "I found out today that I also like children, ha ha, I''m gone, goodbye."


    "Goodbye."


    Rowling smiled and watched Aldridge turn away, disappearing at the end of the block.


    Aldridge went a long way, he did not drive out today, because BMW sent it for repair, and did not want to drive a sports car out of the market.


    On the street under the moonlight, Aldridge strolled forward with his hands in his pockets, whispering in his heart: It seems that I am very happy with the children, is it really time for the psychological age to want the next generation?


    Shaking his head said he wasn''t sure, maybe it just felt fresh today. He didn''t know whether he was ready to have children as part of his life.

 Chapter 256： Why are crazy lions crazy!

    After FIFA International Day of Competition, Aldridge is glad that the players have returned to the team intact.


    Only three days away from the weekend league, Aldridge and his coaching staff awaited players early on the training ground.


    Benitez, Jensen, and Babu stood beside Aldridge, and the four discussed in a serious expression in a circle.


    The players who came out of the locker room after changing the jerseys gathered together to discuss the grouping situation of the Champions League.


    They are full of longing for the Champions League, which can be heard from the words.


    When the players assembled, Aldridge preferred to scold them with a straight face.


    "You seem to have forgotten that we have an important league to play in three days! I understand your mood very well. Life is about to usher in the highest level of the club''s intercontinental competition. I am also very excited, but you cannot forget your identity, you are Premier League defending champions, we are now ranked tenth in the league! Shocking tenth! Liverpool have successfully left scars on us, Wimbledon and Leicester City have also satisfactorily got their hopes from us As a result, this weekend, when we visited Stamford Bridge, do you still want to send a weekend gift to the dead enemy? Forget the Champions League and go all out to prepare for the weekend league!"


    The players heard Aldridge''s stern warning, and they casually put away their relaxed expressions, facing the next training seriously.


    When the players did the warm-up exercise, the coaches did not participate, and Aldridge was still discussing the tactical training focus with the coaching staff for some time to come.


    A week after the first round of the Champions League group stage, the main players have returned from the national team, Aldridge should implement a rotation plan to face the weekend league.


    But the situation in the Premier League table forced him to send the strongest team to face the derby against Chelsea.


    The league has already won three rounds before, and this decline must be stopped immediately, especially after the start of the Chelsea league. The momentum is very fierce, and it is necessary to suppress the upward trend of the enemy.


    The only good factor is probably that Millwall played at home in the first round of the Champions League. The game was played in London to minimize the adverse factors brought about by continuous combat.


    After the players warmed up, Aldridge called six players to the front, and Benitez called eight players to his side.


    Six members of Barak, Schneider, Nedved, Larson, Trezeguet, and Shevchenko stood in front of Aldridge in a fan shape.


    Aldrich said to them with a tactical book: "Listen carefully to my next words. If you can''t understand my requirements for you, then our team can''t continue to improve."


    The six nodded solemnly.


    Millwall is in trouble. This is something that all the Premier League knows.


    No matter how many people watch the fun or secretly laugh at them, there are still many people looking forward to how Millwall can break through the difficulties of the new season.


    How to break intensive defense?


    Liverpool, Wimbledon, Leicester City, have successfully tasted the sweetness in Millwall, but this is not the mainstream of the Premier League.


    In addition to Liverpool playing Millwall with a very thorough defensive counterattack, playing other teams is still a fierce offensive, the same is true of other teams.


    Therefore, Fleet Street does not worry about this defensive counterattack of "unhealthy winds and evil spirits" becoming the main theme of the Premier League.


    Because of Millwall''s outrageous strongness, last season''s firepower was fully opened in the Premier League. This **** storm made other Premier League teams shudder. Therefore, only when facing Millwall, most teams have to avoid losing. , A negative posture that does not want to win.


    This is a critical period for Millwall. Once it is unable to reverse the current decline and face the intensive defense and helplessness, it is likely that other teams will continue to implement this tactical idea, then Millwall will become the Premier League. Laughing handle: playing well and playing fart, still can''t win the ball!


    Aldrich knew in his heart that only once, twice, and three times in a row, the team that put out the ultimate anti-anti tactics would eventually lose, would they get rid of this situation.


    When the opponent feels that the passive defense can''t even get a draw, the tactical thinking will return to the original point: still fight your own style, just beat it, you can''t get points, what is the picture of playing!


    Aldridge showed his tactical board to the six players. The running path of the offensive player, the passing path, the dotted and solid lines are very clear.


    "This is the team tactics we have built over the past three years. It was a great success last season. From the perspective of passing and running, we are advancing layer by layer. The simplest description is: the player in the backcourt hands the ball to Midfielders, midfielders pass to frontcourt players, wait for players in other positions to move up, use the width of the court and the lateral transfer of the ball to tear the opponent''s empty, and then the scorer takes the opportunity to threaten the opponent''s goal.


    The six players listened very carefully. Even though they did not have a deep understanding of tactics when they first came to the team, they may not be able to describe the essence of the tactics they performed in language after training and game training day after day. , But closed his eyes and knew how to play football.


    "In the past, our midfield and offensive players used horizontal runs to rip off empty space. For example, David, who ran horizontally in front of the defender, attracted defensive attention, which gave Andre and Henrik a sudden internal threat. Goal opportunities, but now, our opponents will often arrange heavy soldiers within the first 40 yards of the penalty area. They use the number of defenders to make up for the defensive vacancy that may be exposed. This requires that our offense players have a change in running coordination, and It is more tacit and requires higher reading ability. Maybe it used to be a chance for one or two players to run, but now requires three, four, and five players to run together to create a chance for the partner to break the goal."


    After Aldridge finished speaking, turn the next page of the tactical board to show them that new tactical training started today.


    Player positioning is complicated, and simply relying on a fixed and rigid route to run will not have much effect. Aldrich is often creating a variety of environments for players to try and then point out, Today''s tactical board, the route map is also very simple, but the real difficulty is to form a tacit understanding in actual combat.


    "We want to strengthen the deep tear in the frontcourt. The opponent uses two layers and three layers of defense to strengthen the lateral interception, but I don''t think their midfield players can form a perfect fit with the defender. They will have the flaw of instantaneous transposition when marking. , The loopholes of man-to-man will also be exposed between the roles."


    Aldrich explained the tactical key points to the players and allowed them to communicate with each other.


    There is no change in the general direction of tactics, but the changes in details require players to understand more deeply, and they also require higher cooperation.


    When the training started, Aldridge asked them to play half-court offense and defense.


    The attacking side is a group of six men who raised his fate.


    Benitez let eight other players form a two-tiered defense.


    In addition to the goalkeepers, guards Mills, Elgra, Southgate, Zambrotta, plus four midfielders: Gattuso, Makelele, Glenshare, Duff.


    When training started, Aldridge stood on the sidelines to observe the performance of the offensive group.


    At the beginning, they still played the old tactics of horizontal tearing. In the reminder of Aldridge''s constant shouting, the offensive team gradually found a state and showed a little bit better. They had been playing together for more than two years. The cooperation between two or three people has already formed, but now they are required to have four or five people. Five or six people form a team tacit understanding in an attack, interlocking, and no one can do without it.


    And this is not the best tactic in Aldridge''s ideal, Millwall still lacks an element.


    A super player who can tear the opponent''s defense line with points!


    Larson is the perfect terminator. Shevchenko can pass and shoot. Trezeguet''s involvement and impact are top-notch. However, none of the three players on the front line have the ability to change the situation with their own efforts.


    In Aldrich¡¯s plan, the team will have the last element of a world-class team after the fastest two seasons, and that element contributor is the Brazilian who is working hard to score goals and assists in the reserve team: Ronald Dinho.


    This is still the fastest time, because the team has to wait for Ronaldinho to grow up, wait for him to gain a foothold in the Premier League, wait for him to catch up with the water, and wait for him to transform into a green magician.


    Even though the previous opponents were afraid of Millwall, at most they were only eight players in the backcourt, and then the two were looking for fighters in the front. However, this season, the opponents they met in three consecutive rounds were nine people defending in the second half. People harassing in front, counterattack is almost luck.


    Under such circumstances, Millwall''s lack of personal breakthrough ability is exposed at a glance.


    Aldridge did not complain that under the current conditions, he will strive to be the best and to maximize the integrity of Millwall¡¯s team football.


    Three days later, the London Derby struck.


    Aldridge was banned, and even the pre-match press conference was gone. Benitez came forward for him, but the scene was deserted. Fleet Street did not want to waste time on the Spanish fat man.


    The East London Derby has definitely disappeared in this season¡¯s league. It is also unknown when West Ham United will climb back into the Premier League. However, the war between Millwall and Chelsea is not only hot, but also because of Chelsea¡¯s one step in recent years. The accumulation of power in the footprints has made the Blues a force to be reckoned with in London and even the Premier League.


    Millwall has proved himself with the champion, the Blues have accumulated a lot of money, and only have a trophy to announce the rise.


    This is not only a derby battle between the dead enemies of London, but also a focal battle between the two upstarts of the Premier League.


    Chelsea have fought a lot of beautiful tough battles in the past two seasons, allowing teams such as Manchester United Liverpool to overturn their ships, making them praise giant killers. Although they are not the hottest league champions in the new season, they are no problem as spoilers.


    Aldridge appeared in the box at Stamford Bridge, and there was Ewen beside him. The handsome men and beautiful women appeared in the live broadcast. The two looked like a solemn **** overlooking the stadium.


    At the stands of Stamford Bridge, fans of the Blues Chelsea played a arrogant banner.


    "Milwall, who is the leader now? Where is the crazy lion?"


    Since Millwall has made it to the Premier League, he has never ranked behind the London team after five rounds in the new season. However, after five rounds this season, Millwall ranked tenth in the league. Surprisingly, Chelsea topped the list!


    Millwall fans stood shirtlessly in the stands of the visiting team and scoffed at the arrogance of Chelsea fans.


    Brady directly directs the members of the Lions Roar to act immediately. The Lions Fan Organization is now the most influential fan group in Millwall, especially their behavior in the stands not only encourages the players, but also cheers with the fans of the other party. The wind won''t fall.


    Soon, the roar members in the stands adjusted their positions spontaneously. Then Brady waved his hand and five rows of members turned around. The striking English letters on their backs formed a declaration in response to Chelsea.


    champion:


    Chelsea: 4


    Millwall: 5


    Someone has been waiting for 26 years,


    Someone only had a carnival four months ago!


    This slogan composed of a word or number or punctuation behind each fan quickly caught the attention of the live camera.


    At the same time, Brady pulled up big comrades in arms and sang in unison: "Hey, Chelsea, look over, look over, and answer our question: who waited twenty-six years, who watched the mad lion win the FA at Wembley Cup, who lost all the Premier League records to the Crazy Lions? Chelsea, Chelsea, answer me, answer me, or you will cry cry cry cry cry..."


    Chelsea¡¯s most loyal fans watched the counterattacks of the crazy lion fans, some of them gritted their teeth, some of them remembered the fiasco at Wembley a few months ago, that was when they were closest to the trophy in recent years, but relive the old dream Was hopelessly crushed by the crazy lion.


    The hateful Millwall has clearly won three consecutive rounds. Obviously, Chelsea ranked first in the league standings with four wins and one loss.


    Why are you crazy?


    Why?

 Chapter 257： Bus

    The London Derby is on the verge, the players of both sides have entered the field, Chelsea coach Gullit is slightly relaxed on the sidelines. In addition to the unexpected defeat of the first game in the new season, his team has also damaged the new summer aid Poyet. The next four games and four victories are in full swing.


    On the other hand, Millwall is in poor condition, with three games losing points in five league games. The main players, Pirlo and Capdevila, still have a month and a half to heal. Lampard is close to the comeback time.


    In addition, coach Aldridge''s penalty suspension made the Mad Lions worse. This game was temporarily directed by Benitez. The Spaniard also stood on the sidelines and his face looked very dignified.


    "Hello everyone, the sixth round of the Premier League focus game London Derby is about to start, and the leader of the standings Chelsea sits at Stamford Bridge today against the defending champion Millwall, who has always claimed to make Chelsea a **** football representative. With a partial defensive formation, hehe, Andy, do you think Chelsea is afraid of Millwall?"


    "Why not? If Millwall stays for the Champions League, Chelsea will be criticized for such a platoon formation, but today Millwall sends his strongman and Gullit lost to Hall three times last season. Today He also studied Liverpool and Leicester City, maybe he will easily win the game, after all, the single arrow Zola ability is stronger than Liverpool young teenager Irving."


    "Look at the starting lineup of both sides today, Chelsea starting lineup 541.


    Goalkeeper: De Huye


    Defenders: Clark, Duberg, Le Bouf, Baba Yarrow, Le Saux midfielders: Petrescu, Di Matteo, Sinclair, Wise Forward: Zola.


    Millwall''s starting formation is still 433.


    Goalkeeper: Bute


    Guards: Schneider, Elgra, Southgate, Zambrotta Midfielders: Makelele, Barak, Nedved


    Forwards: Larson, Trezeguet, Shevchenko


    Andy, I¡¯m thinking about a question. Now that Millwall¡¯s opponents have actively contracted in the second half to defend against counterattacks and gave up control of the midfield. What if Millwall played the same way? Will the game be boring? "


    "Martin, this is what Hall admires. He firmly believes that his team can win, so he did not let the team actively give up control to entice the opponent to attack. As he said, the coach should have his own ideals, Mill Wall will not give up his aggressiveness in pursuit of victory."


    At the start of the game, Chelsea kicked off.


    Zola passed the ball back to Di Matteo, Millwall played a defensive formation, Wise took the pass and took two steps to Zola in the middle, the latter tried to break through Barak and was squeezed out of position, lost Ball right.


    After Chelsea kicked off, few people crossed the half, waiting for Millwall to organize an offensive big pressure.


    Makelele passed the ball to Zambrotta on the wing. The Italian full-back took the ball and strode forward. After making a wing pass with Nedved, the player strode forward.


    But there was Petrescu behind, Clark before, Di Matteo and Duberg also formed a spatial compression of the backcourt area on this side.


    Zambrotta shifted the ball laterally, Nedvide kicked the ball and shifted the ball laterally, and then Ballak inserted the ball in front of Sinclair and transferred it to the foot of the wing Schneider.


    Gulit on the sidelines saw a horizontal transfer ball like Millwall, and the corner of his mouth moved slightly, and he smiled as expected.


    This lateral transfer ball is the most handy for Millwall. When the ball is shot with a high rhythm, it is used with the forward to pull the ball horizontally to find the empty space. The winger suddenly cuts in the empty space and then receives the straight ball to penetrate the entire defense.


    But when the backcourt space is filled with dense defensive players, it is difficult to find a good opportunity for the forward to move.


    What next?


    Should Millwall end the attack with a long shot?


    Schneider brought the ball to the 45-degree area of ??the side, and then passed the ball to Shevchenko. The Ukrainian turned his back to the penalty area and prepared to receive the ball. At the same time, Larsen and Trezeguet were moving to his side. .


    Le Saux held up Shevchenko, put the wing outside, did not mind Millwall to play the bottom cross tactics, they have one more guard today, as long as they do not make low-level mistakes, the cross ball can not beat their defense.


    Baba Yarrow followed Trezeguet, and Duberg also moved to this side. Beware of Larson cutting in on the right, all three Millwall forwards swarmed to the right.


    At the moment Shevchenko touched the ball, he turned his head to look at the two striker partners.


    Shevchenko also kicked the ball, and he passed it to Schneider again.


    After completing the pass, Shevchenko immediately turned around to make an in-cut and LeSaux kept close to the enemy.


    Trezeguet pulled outside the penalty area, and Baba Yarrow immediately followed, fearing that he would give the opponent space to turn the ball.


    Larson pushed to the middle position and drove forward. Duberg quickly hurriedly put his body on it. The scavenger Lebov also moved to this side at the moment, intending to block the opponent''s penetration.


    However, five of Chelsea''s backline didn''t notice that when Shevchenko returned the pass, Millwall''s two midfielders ran forward like beasts purposefully.


    Di Mateo and Sinclair, who defended Nedved and Barak, were quickly thrown away by the two when they suddenly started.


    Schneider concentrated on it, a beautifully curved ball passed into the penalty area, over the top of the entire defense, and then went straight to the back point of the small penalty area.


    Scavenger Loebov saw the trajectory of the ball flying and suddenly his scalp numb. He quickly moved to the right to make up the seat. Nedved first came to the back and clicked the left foot to wait for the ball to land and then returned the ball to the middle. The ball passed from Lebouf''s legs, and Lebouf himself smelled the smell of death. Before he could turn around, there was a thunderous shot from behind.


    boom!


    Barack cleanly hit the ball to the goal!


    Stamford Bridge was silent for a moment.


    The home team stands silently, Chelsea fans, coaches, players, all dumbfounded, such as thunderbolt on a sunny day.


    The visiting team stands where the fans of the crazy lions are boiling.


    "Chelsea, you are arrogant! The leader? Shabi, the Premier League only has five rounds?! It won''t take long for our crazy lion to kick you down, and then step on your body to climb to the championship podium as before! Do you guys laugh anymore, and ask us where is the crazy lion? We are here, we are crazy celebrating at Stamford Bridge!"


    Fans of the crazy lion cheered, shouted passionately for the team, and shamelessly humiliated the enemy.


    Aldridge, who was watching from the box, was also very excited after seeing the goal. He stood up and waved his fists to snarl and snarl.


    "Put the bus! Pose the tortoise array! Lao Tzu is not afraid of you. Placing it to your heart''s content, putting it to the end of the world, to the sea and the rocks, the Lao Tzu team will blow you up! Let you not only play football but also lose your face Nothing! Lao Tzu wants the world to understand why the crazy lion is crazy!"


    Millwall scored, the first goal after the first three league matches.


    Ballack rushed around excitedly after scoring a goal.


    Not only because he scored a goal, but he and his teammates know that they have created a classic team with goals!


    Narrator Martin Taylor couldn''t be more excited.


    As a football commentator, the happiest thing is to witness the birth of the classic.


    "The fastest goal so far this season was born, 1 minute 07 seconds! Millwall scored a lightning goal. This is a great goal. If you only watch Nedved assists Barak, you will not think this How special the ball is, because Barack¡¯s chances are so good that it is almost impossible to fly. But if you appreciate this goal from start to finish, you will know how wonderful it is, in both teams What a wonderful game in offense and defense!"


    "Yes, Martin, Millwall''s goal must have come from a careful tactical drill. From the attack to the goal, after 9 passes, the ball was scored. In the process, the ball quickly passed laterally in the frontcourt. Chelsea¡¯s The defensive center of gravity moves from right to left. This is the Millwall offensive routine that we are very familiar with before, but through slow-motion playback to analyze the next attack, you will lament the beauty of Millwall offensive players."


    "Andy, you are right. Shevchenko turned and cut inwards after passing the ball. This attracted the Chelsea defender to focus on him. Trezeguet pulled outwards to attract Baba Yarrowo, Larson. Appearing in the central position directly opposite the goal of the line in the penalty area, Millwall''s three forwards tore the Chelsea line from different directions and shattered, and a large air appeared on the other side. At the same time, Nedved and Barak''s high speed The plug was obviously purposeful, Nedvide went to catch the ball, Barak grabbed a spot in front of the goal, Dubergry was completely dumbfounded, he did not know that at that moment, he should continue to defend Larson in front of him Or follow Barak who passed by him! Nedved assisted and Barak broke the goal. During the entire offensive, Zambrotta, Millwall, who sent a cross from the left side of the set, was counted Every offensive player played a role in this attack, and they worked together to create this classic goal! Hall¡¯s team did not bow their heads to the defensive counterattack, and Millwall became stronger!"


    The coach and bench players on Millwall''s bench were taken aback by this goal. In fact, they knew best that Aldridge never arranged rigid tactical training in training.


    Like this goal, it is definitely not a fixed routine exercise.


    Aldrich just told the players the most basic ideas, and then let the players play in their own training. They have the tacit understanding and ability to create the most beautiful moments when they are unexpected.


    This is Aldrich''s training idea: Laconian thinking.


    When everyone was celebrating, Benitez still had an unmoved expression. Instead, he calmly pressed his hands to the players to make them not overjoyed: the game has just begun, don¡¯t get overwhelmed!


    Chelsea fell behind just after the opening game, and Gullit''s face couldn''t relax.


    Today''s platoon formation is most afraid of losing the ball. Once the ball is dropped, this 541 formation instead restricts Chelsea''s offensive hands and feet.


    Damn it!


    Millwall missed a goal against the Reds, Wimbledon missed a goal, and Leicester City also missed a goal.


    Chelsea''s staff is definitely not inferior to these three teams, how come he lost the ball as soon as he came up? Is it really the wrong use of the scavenger, should an extra interceptor be added?


    Evans led the Reds against the mad lion to a point where they couldn''t afford to lose, and won a victory with a defensive counterattack in Anfield.


    Gullit also reached the point where he could not afford to lose. Last season, he not only failed to defeat the Crazy Lions in the league, but was also snatched away by the opponent in the FA Cup final. If he loses again today, Mo Chelsea, he may be afraid I felt dull on my face.


    The opponent does not have a team that the coach is directing!

 Chapter 258： Stamford Bridge Massacre

    Chelsea had to kick off in the middle lap in less than two minutes. The guys fell behind before they were hot enough. This start was really bad.


    When Zola kicked the ball to Di Matteo again, Chelsea''s formation began to press forward and fell behind, it was necessary to score a goal to chase the score back. This is normal thinking.


    So their midfielder ran forward and Di Mateo was entangled by Nedved. He was looking for the spot in front, but his teammates were all guarded, so he had to pass the ball back.


    "Passing mistake! Di Matteo didn''t pay attention to the situation behind him. His return pass was weak and was interrupted by Larsson halfway. Larsson moved the ball laterally. Trezeguet pulled out in front of the penalty area. When the ball was empty, Shevchenko made an in-cut and Larsson passed the ball. He handed the ball to Barak who was assisted from behind. There is a large undefended area between the Chelsea defender line and the midfield line!"


    Chelsea was originally an offensive. The midfielders all crossed the center line. As a result, Di Matteo returned to the team with a pass. The midfielder and the defender were disconnected. Millwall quickly organized the attack.


    Barak took the ball and strode the meteor forward. He was unblocked until the ball came to the penalty area before gently rubbing the ball. The ball flew diagonally behind the penalty area.


    The offensive players who were concentrated in the middle were stared at by Chelsea''s three central defenders.


    But it is still leaking!


    Nedved ran forward quickly at the moment of Di Matteo''s return error, accelerating all the way straight into the penalty area without hesitation.


    The moment Barak passed the ball, Nedvide just passed Dubelli, and it was never possible to go offside, because there was Lebov in front, but Lebov moved to the other side to prevent Shevchenko from cutting.


    The Czechs jumped up to meet the ball and used their foreheads to move forward. After the impact, the ball went straight to the dead end of the goal.


    Dutch national mendhuye looked at the ball and sighed, stepped backwards a few steps, his body leaned on the net to stabilize the center of gravity.


    Lerberf was mad, and he yelled at Clark where Nedvide attacked: "You **** should come over to make up!"


    Clark looked angry and nowhere to vent.


    Malle Gobi¡¯s, put it bluntly, you come to play as a full-back, one side is the opponent¡¯s full-back attack, the other is the wing inward, both left and right sides must be considered, and now even the other midfielder is inserted after How much money do I need to earn in a year with a full-back?


    After scoring a goal, Nedved beckoned all his teammates who ran to him.


    When everyone wanted to hug him after he ran in front of him, he smiled and asked, "Where is the boss?"


    Larson pointed to the direction of the stand on the side of the box where Aldridge was. Nedved beckoned everyone to run over with him.


    And underneath the stands were Chelsea fans. They thought that these rival players were provoking, and they all stood up and screamed angrily.


    Nedved and his teammates battled in a row, and then everyone put away the smile on their faces, and they all held their heads in a serious and solemn manner and bowed a military salute.


    Chelsea fans are choking, and even their hearts admit that the team on the opposite side is so enviable! Unity, strong, and general, this **** is the master of the king!


    "Oh roar, Dehuye, who had zero opponents in the first five rounds of the league in three games, was pierced through the gate twice in less than five minutes today. Although the second goal came from Chelsea¡¯s own mistake, we can see that In the final blow, Millwall¡¯s two goal routines were the same. The three-forward running position attracted defense in a short period of time. Two midfielders inserted at high speed. One assist and one unexpectedly appeared in front of the goal. After breaking the goal, of course, Chelsea was too big in front of the penalty area after losing the ball. No one interfered with Barak. The ball he passed to Nedved was very comfortable. Now they greet Hall in the box after scoring. This is Millwall, the Mad Lion Army!"


    After the second goal was scored, Aldridge stood up directly in the box and raised his fists with a dazed face.


    When the players saluted on the sidelines below the stands, Aldridge''s expression calmed down, applauding, and smiling at Yiwen, showing an intoxicated smile.


    Aldrich said: I know, I know you can do it, you are the best!


    Players can implement the tactical intentions of the head coach and do better than expected. There is nothing more exciting than the head coach.


    It is a sense of accomplishment, a wonderful enjoyment that is beyond description.


    But first of all, this group of players has the ability to do this, otherwise, Aldridge will be given a group of wood knots, even if the coach has a variety of tactical systems, it can not play the most basic effect.


    What satisfied him most was the trident of the striker who nearly scored a hundred goals in various events last season. All three players have the star¡¯s most valuable sacrifice spirit. They used the running position to cover the teammate who inserted the back, and In the running position, attracting defensive forces achieved a tacit understanding.


    If it was Millwall last season, this kind of ball must have three forwards to attack the opponent''s defense from three directions, but today the three of them tore the rear defense, consciously involved the Chelsea defense leaning to one side, creating for the other side Unavailable, Millwall''s attack strategy during the offense has also changed.


    In the past, it was a link from back to front. Everyone did their own good job. The defender gave the midfielder, the midfielder gave the striker, and the striker came to break the goal.


    But after a new round of transformation, Millwall¡¯s offensive routines are more full of changes. The forwards begin to form a cover for the midfielder. The midfielder¡¯s fatal pass forward is more calm, and the full-back assist is no longer the usual way. Find the striker as the end point.


    Chelsea was completely stunned.


    Gullit had a black face on the sidelines, Chelsea are now two goals behind, what should the team do?


    Attack, play their original "sexy football".


    However, the next game completely entered Millwall''s control rhythm. Chelsea''s starting lineup was defensive, and it was impossible to take the initiative to attack and unable to gain the upper hand in the midfield area, which made their offense difficult.


    In contrast, Millwall, when the opponent is no longer a tight defense in the second half of the contraction, their offensive firepower was strongly released.


    In the 28th minute of the first half, Millwall launched another quick counterattack.


    Nedv¨§d withdrew the ball and gave it to Barak who was plugged in. The strikers ran out again. This time LeBov was smart. He no longer focused on the situation in the penalty area, but more concerned about the opponent outside the penalty area. Player''s running position.


    Ballack moved the ball horizontally and then passed a long pass.


    Shevchenko started at the top corner of the penalty area, and LeSaux and Baba Yaluo sandwiched him, but the ball crossed the top of their heads. When the ball fell near the bottom line of the penalty area, Chelsea''s back defense thought unbelievably. The man who stopped the ball at that position: Schneider!


    The forward players not only provide cover for the midfielders, but also attract defensive forces for the full-backs.


    Schneider took the ball on the bottom line. When Chelsea''s back defense was overwhelmed, the mark made a loophole. Before Schneider knocked on the door, Trezeguet was marked by Leberf, but from Trezeguet. Larson emerged from behind but grabbed the point with a toe to poke the ball into the corner of the goal. Duberi of Larson, who was chasing all the way, knocked Lebov and Trezeguet to the ground.


    Chelsea''s goalkeeper turned back, but the ball was already scored.


    Larson ran out with a big laugh after scoring with a big laugh...


    Gullit went crazy and roared angrily at the players, and then he began to make substitutions.


    "What is Chelsea doing? Less than 30 minutes of substitutions? Gullit is slapping himself!"


    "No way, Martin, as you said, less than thirty minutes later, Chelsea are already three goals behind, Gullit can no longer use a five-back, anyway this platoon formation will definitely be bombarded after the game, He also realized that he was wrong, and he used substitutions to correct his pre-match mistakes. Even if he could not save the game, if he could score one or two goals, he would not be under much pressure after the match."


    "However, I don''t think Chelsea can reduce a defender and replace a striker to score. What if more goals are dropped?"


    "Mark Hughes replaced teenager Baba Yarrow, Lebev will change from a scavenger to one of the two central defenders, Chelsea returned to their previous 442 formation. Hey, teenager Baba Yarrow and Gullit had an argument, I He said he understood that there was no injury and the player was replaced within 30 minutes, and it happened in such an eye-catching game, which would make the player feel humiliated."


    Gullit also wanted to shake hands with each other when Baba Yaro ended, comforting him.


    But Baba Yarrow didn''t give braid handsome face at all, and shouted excitedly at the other party: "If you don''t trust me, don''t **** let me play!"


    Gullit also countered: "The team lost three goals. How do you trust me?"


    "You don''t want to put the responsibility for losing the ball on my head! It''s your bad tactical arrangement! The shit-like tactical arrangement!"


    Baba Yarrow quarreled excitedly with Gullit on the sidelines, the assistant coach had to come out and drag the players into the player channel, Gullit looked extremely ugly.


    Gullit''s substitutions also made Chelsea players unhappy.


    It''s not that there is anything wrong with replacing Baba Yarrowo.


    The team fell behind and had to attack, withdraw a defensive player and return the formation to their usual 442. Everyone thought it was justified.


    But why is it 34-year-old Mark Hughes.


    Whether it''s training or limited appearances, Viali, who has a low scoring rate, is still placed on the bench.


    Not only inside Chelsea, the outside world knows that Gullit and Viali are different, but at this time, teammates hope that Viali will come on to help the team.


    At least during the offensive, there were three Italian teams in the frontcourt, Di Matteo, Zola, and Viali.


    The substitution of Gullit caused controversy and also caused dissatisfaction among the players.


    This time, Chelsea''s morale was even weaker after the substitution.


    Just ten minutes later, Shevchenko was knocked down by Lubbov in the penalty area and the referee awarded a penalty.


    The stand at Stamford Bridge was silent, and the fans looked numb and did not protest the referee''s penalty.


    Originally, Millwall led by three goals. If the foul was not particularly obvious, the referee would not blow the penalty. But Lebov directly overturned Shevchenko from behind when he clearly couldn''t get the ball. He didn''t even touch the ball. If the referee didn''t blow the penalty, it would be too obvious.


    Larson took the penalty and it was done overnight.


    Millwall players came to the visiting team''s stands and danced rhythmically around to celebrate.


    Fans of crazy lions also twisted and danced in the stands with the movements of the players. Today is undoubtedly a game enjoyed by fans.


    Gullit sat back with his hands hidden, as if there were signs of letting go.


    The halftime has not yet arrived. After the fourth goal was scored, fans in the stands of Stamford Bridge have begun to line up and leave the stadium in an orderly manner.


    I can''t stand it anymore!


    At midfield, Benitez used two substitutions.


    Glenshare replaced Larson and Neil replaced Zambrotta.


    Millwall began to shrink in the second half, and Chelsea was defeated by Millwall''s defensive counterattack after the attack.


    When the final whistle sounded, the stand at Stamford Bridge was already blank.


    Many fans who stayed in the stands were angry and clamored for Gullit to get out, and some people cried in hiding.


    There is a **** score on the scoreboard.


    0: 7.


    International practice, the home team is ahead.


    Millwall created the "Stanford Bridge Massacre" that shocked English football.

 Chapter 259： Landmark moment

    Millwall had a 7-goal away victory, the Stamford Bridge was turbulent after the game, Chelsea was beaten in the first half of the poor performance, plus the team''s internal locker room problems broke out, Gullit''s handsome position is in jeopardy.


    Fleet Street disclosed exclusive news that Bates had instructed Viali and Gullit to jointly control the coach.


    In Aldrich''s opinion, this was another extremely wrong decision.


    However, Chelsea is going to rise, not only to strengthen its strength, but also to increase its reputation. Gullit''s coaching level is not an objective evaluation. However, he has a superstar halo as the head coach in the era of players, which brought Chelsea''s reputation. It is far stronger than some good but not famous coaches.


    Millwall successfully won the game and the confidence of the players also increased over the same period. Before ushering in the first European Championship in the history of the club, Millwall quickly adjusted the state.


    At the UEFA press conference the day before the game, Aldridge did not continue the excitement because he defeated Chelsea with 7 goals in the league, but solemnly expressed to the media reporters Millwall¡¯s Pay attention to it and emphasize that the team can''t underestimate the general intentions and cannot be complacent because of the victory in the league.


    "The league and the Champions League are two different stages. Our first match was the division of the Champions League last season. There is no doubt that this is a test. We are not familiar with the opponents. Therefore, if the players think As long as you face the Champions League game with a normal mentality, you can easily win the game. This will be a dangerous mentality, especially the situation of our team is very cruel. Maybe you lose a game and you will fall into a passive situation. Bury the hidden dangers of being out."


    "Will Millwall strive for the top spot?"


    "This question is stupid. We were the Premier League champion last season, representing England. We did not come to the Champions League to run the dragon. Of course, we will take the qualifying as the group goal. In view of the qualifying rules, we will play every game well and fight for Having won the first place in the group, I will never be lucky to become the second best group than other groups."


    "Millwall is confident of winning an overwhelming victory over Barcelona in the two group matches?"


    "There are also Dynamo Kiev and Eindhoven in the same group. Barcelona is just one of our opponents. We will play every game well and will not treat the three teams differently, because each opponent is very strong, they represent Different football styles have proved themselves in their respective national leagues. Millwall will not deliberately value or despise an opponent because of the attention of the outside world."


    "This is just your opinion, maybe the players don''t think so."


    "I have confidence in the players. They are playing the Champions League for the first time. They will play every game seriously and strive to advance to the knockout. I don''t believe anyone in the Millwall team can easily beat their opponents. "


    As always, Aldridge kept a low profile before the game. He never made a big speech before the game because it was obviously an unwise approach. Even if the final result was to win without suspense, it would only let the outside world see an arrogant coach. If you lose, it will be even worse. Outside public opinion and inside the club will point the finger at the coach. On the contrary, the low-key before the game, no matter after winning or losing, the coach''s pressure will not be very great, winning will be sent praise, the loss will also make the coach appear to have a foresight, you can justify going to the locker room to criticize players.


    The game is played in the evening, before the players go to warm up, Aldridge speaks in the locker room.


    The players changed their jersey shoes and stared at Aldridge from their seats.


    To be honest, they both "remember" Aldridge a little. In the past two leagues, Aldridge did not walk into the locker room, which made them awkward. Benitez likes to emphasize tactical discipline before the game, which makes the players They can''t stand it.


    Can''t say that Benitez is right or wrong, but in the head coach position, he and Aldridge have a very different style. The players are glad that Benitez is an assistant, and he just temporarily commanded the team. .


    Therefore, Benitez talked about tactics before the game, most of the players were not interested in listening, how to play the game, the previous day''s game preparation meeting was arranged, although after a day, the players are used to I digested the head coach''s tactical arrangement in this day''s time. When the game was over, I had a clear heart.


    Aldrich looked around the players and said softly: "This is our first Champions League game and the first Champions League game in club history. You will experience the enthusiasm of the fans and you will feel it before the game starts. I¡¯m excited inside, but I want to emphasize one point, don¡¯t get too excited. Most of your players came back from the national team a week ago and played another league on the weekend. Today, physical fitness is a test for you. I don¡¯t ask you to spare no effort Run on the ground, but play smart and adjust the speed according to the rhythm of the game. We can¡¯t run at a high intensity for 90 minutes. Even if you do, then you will need a longer recovery period. The game is very unfavorable, we want to win, but the opponent also wants to win, we must use this."


    The players looked at each other. Before this game, Aldridge never talked about the Champions League in training. After the group results came out, the players were excited to talk about these in training and will be severely reprimanded by Aldridge. , Obviously do not want them to be distracted by the Champions League.


    "Boss, I have a question. We want to win, and the other party wants to win. How can we use this?"


    Bout asked curiously.


    Aldridge calmly said: "In our group, Barcelona is a big hit, then we are, then Eindhoven, and finally Dynamo Kiev. However, we have not played in the Champions League before, although last season we Winning the championship in the Winners'' Cup, but the increase in fame and influence has not been so extensive. The Dutch champions certainly want to qualify, so they must at least beat us and Dynamo Kiev, and finally Barcelona At least a draw or a victory, in fact, you probably think so too, Dynamo Kiev thinks so too, we have to kill the two weaker teams in the group, the real tough battle is with Barcelona. I think so Can¡¯t be wrong, but it¡¯s psychologically biased. I believe that Eindhoven and Dynamo Kyiv will have the conviction to win when facing us. Take advantage of this, we can defend ourselves before we can attack ourselves. Your fate, in fact, you all know me about the tactical arrangements before the game, and you should guess what I am doing."


    The players smiled strangely.


    Twenty minutes before the game, Aldridge walked out of the locker room and went to the coach seat in advance.


    When he walked out of the channel of Wembley Stadium, he was suddenly shocked by the atmosphere of the scene.


    The stands were full of seats, and fans of the crazy lions swarmed into Wembley today.


    The members of the lion roared a shocking cheering picture on the side stand.


    In the stands, the fans outlined the lion on the Millwall emblem in blue, and then there was a text below.


    Millwall, let us be more proud!


    There is no limit to football, and there is no limit to the love of fans for the team.


    The success of the Millwall Club directly affects the life of every crazy lion fan, which makes local fans more confident and happy in London. Even if foreign fans can¡¯t visit the fans in person, they can enjoy the Millwall game on TV. , Especially when the strong passion is overwhelming, it will make them excited, excited and happy.


    On the side of the main stand, a large number of fans pulled out huge portraits and passed them across the sea.


    The protagonist of the giant portrait is the figure that Aldridge directs on the sidelines.


    He was like a commanding general who pointed his right hand to the side, and his figure was straight and cold and sharp.


    The dense signs on the stands have various words to cheer for the team and the players, and there are also many posters printed with the stars of the team stars.


    I don''t know when, the singing started gradually, and the mad lion''s team song enveloped the entire Wembley for a long time.


    From Eindhoven to coach to player, the atmosphere of the stadium was shocked.


    This is Britain''s greatest stadium, and it is to spread the imitated culture of British fans to the world.


    With the emergence of mad lions in Europe, fans in many countries are borrowing slogans from mad lions.


    "No one likes us, it doesn''t matter!"


    When teams in many other countries are relegated, or when fans believe that they have suffered unfair treatment, there will be such slogans from the fan community.


    This is a spirit of perseverance and perseverance.


    Aldridge took the initiative to walk and shake hands with Eindhoven coach Dick Edvokat, and the two separated in a courteous conversation.


    Aldridge returned to his position and stood, putting his hands in his pockets, thinking about the game.


    There are two big stars in the Eindhoven team, one is Koko in the midfield, and the other is winger Zenden. The former is the core of the team''s absolute midfield and the latter is an offensive wing weapon.


    But more importantly, the team has an excellent head coach.


    Ed Vokat studied with Michels, the founder of modern Dutch football tactics, and developed his own football philosophy under Michels. In addition to leading the Dutch national team to be eliminated by the final champion Brazil in the World Cup three years ago He proved his coaching ability by defeating the other two giants in the Dutch last season.


    Aldrich looked at the players from both sides with his chest up, and he really wanted to see if Eindhoven today could play the essence of the Dutch full attack and defense.


    The pre-match ceremony was still in progress. Millwall''s starting players all had serious expressions and their chests were high. The live shots swept their faces one by one, recording this landmark moment.


    This is not only the first time in the history of Millwall to compete in the Champions League.


    It is also the Champions League debut of these players!


    They are full of respect for their opponents and full of expectations for this game.


    "The first round of the European Championship Cup Group C in the 97/98 season is about to start. This is the Wembley Stadium in London. The home game is the Premier League champion Millwall last season. It is worth mentioning that Wembley and Not their home stadium, because their stadium Lions Stadium doesn¡¯t meet UEFA¡¯s requirements for the UEFA Champions League game, so Millwall borrowed Wembley to play at home, although the media analysis of Millwall¡¯s home court advantage before the game In view of the impact of the venue, but look at the atmosphere in the stands today, there is no doubt that in this stadium that can accommodate more than 80,000 fans, Millwall fans have created a more terrifying home atmosphere!"


    In terms of economic income, Millwall¡¯s Champions League home game day is held in Wembley. Only his own house can sell more than 70,000 tickets, and the price will be higher than the league. In Wembley, we will definitely earn more At the same time, the FA also increased the rental cost, requiring ticket shares to be increased by 5 percentage points from last year. Aldrich did not want to lie in this regard and directly agreed with Wiseman¡¯s proposal.


    After all, Wiseman wanted to calm down the internal voice, allowing Millwall to use Wembley justly, without paying a little money.


    This year is really different from last year. Last year¡¯s Winners Cup, Millwall can play at the Lion¡¯s Den Stadium without borrowing Wembley, but this year¡¯s Champions League, if we can¡¯t borrow Wembley, we can¡¯t find it It is questionable whether Millwall can play in the Champions League. The FA has taken the opportunity to blackmail a deal, but it is not unexpected, but they dare not kill too hard. In case Millwall does not accept it, he will not be able to play. The Champions League will only cause losses to English football, not to mention whether the league can replace the third champion, UEFA agreed to not agree, Millwall agreed not to agree to this possible chaos.


    But for the small fortunes, everyone continues to live in peace, why not?

 Chapter 260： Hidden Critical Strike

    Millwall''s starting game of this game is exactly the same as that of playing Chelsea on the weekend.


    After the game started, Millwall''s offense hit a plate, and he was more calm and lacked passion.


    When attacking, the ball is passed forward at once, and the player''s running range is not large. Often, before the ball is received, there are Eindhoven players watching and then catching the ball, or completing the breakthrough through personal ability .


    Eindhoven also played 433 today, with three midfielders retreating during counterpoint defense, against Millwall''s midfielder, the side contracted back to half, and Millwall''s full-backs will not be too easy to assist. .


    Nedved used his body to squeeze Koko, and then passed the ball to Trezeguet, who withdrew the ball from the front line. Trezeguet kept knocking the ball to the left wing and Larson took the ball laterally Take a long shot homeopathically.


    This long shot made all the players in Eindhoven stunned with cold sweat, and the ball flew up to the stands while rubbing the beam. If it was lower, the goalkeeper could only look at the ball.


    Eindhoven, Larson is no stranger. He used to play in Feyenoord for two years. Now he still has impressions of several veterans in Eindhoven.


    Those players who had played against Larsen in the Dutch League in Eindhoven looked at Larsson. Although Larsen, who played as a winger in Feyenoord, performed well, it was definitely not a terrifying striker. Killer.


    Unexpectedly, he transferred to England. It took only three years from the first league to become a top scorer. The heavy European Golden Boot Award in his hand is the best proof.


    Although Eindhoven also played a defensive posture at the beginning of the game, it was different from the iron barrel array.


    It¡¯s not that 11 players all recycle halftimes or put the bus. As Aldridge said to reporters, when seven or eight players on one side rushed over to participate in the offense, the defender naturally had reason to use more people. To lay out the lines of defense.


    Whether a defensive player intensively shrinks the restricted area does not mean that he is a bus.


    Aldridge believes that the negative tactics of criticized buses are more important for the defense after the success.


    If the defensive side has organized an offensive behavior, then their defense is for a better offense, even if 11 people are defending in the penalty area, this can not be blamed.


    However, if the defender did not choose to organize an offensive after the success of the defense, but directly released the ball, no offensive players rushed to fight for an offensive opportunity, then this situation is called a bus, passive football, because it is obvious that there is no willingness to attack, it is equivalent Give up for victory, this is anti-football, utilitarian football outright for points or a favorable draw.


    Therefore, when Eindhoven defended, almost all of them retreated, but after the defense was successful, their formation immediately spread out and pushed forward, organized and planned to attack, although they did not invest much force, they were only performing. The most normal tactic, not a bus.


    Eindhoven¡¯s offensive pursuit after the opening was stable, and he never made any progress when passing, trying to ensure that he did not lose the ball, but this also slowed down their offensive speed, because the route of passing the ball is often by Millwall The defending player blocked consciously.


    Millwall''s offensive failure will immediately organize an anti-robbing. The anti-robbing of the frontcourt is to give back time to the backcourt players who come up with assists. Once the first time cannot be grabbed, the frontcourt players will also be in the backcourt. Withdraw.


    The two teams played more cautiously in the first 20 minutes. After all, it was the first game of the group stage. There was nothing wrong with being careful. Often the team that was over-excited and played unprecedentedly was extremely dead.


    The Champions League is a stage that tests more patience and experience. The more mature the team, the better the chance.


    Aldridge looked at it for more than twenty minutes, and he was not disappointed, but his sense of this Eindhoven was: But I''m a Er.


    He wanted to see the Dutch attack and defense, almost impossible in this era.


    Full-attack and full-defense tactics are not just a literal understanding of all players participating in offense and defense.


    For example, a defender can attack forward with the ball, can do the job of a midfielder, or may complete the job of a forward, and achieve an unexpected effect in tactics. The more difficult part of this three-line offensive role change is defense, the defender rushes up By the way, who will fill the empty space behind? If the midfielder rushes to the goal to form a threat but encounters a counterattack from the opponent, the forward at the rear needs to complete the role change to fill the gap in the midfield defense. The principle of other positions is the same.


    This is too demanding on the players. How high is it?


    Michels, the father of the full attack and defense, said personally: To make the Dutch full attack and defense strategy fully play out, then at least seven world-class players are needed in the formation!


    Seven world-class players, this is at least!


    Players without a certain level of ability are unable to understand or even consciously understand, but are unable to meet the requirements of full attack and defense.


    Unfortunately, the requirements of this tactical concept are so high that no one can carry forward the Dutch football after its glory. Even the Dutch giants can''t play this kind of striker can play the defender, the defender can play the high forward Freedom tactics, as for the Dutch national team, they have insisted on this style of play, but there is no absolute number of world-class players to perform, the scene can be played in a cloud, but the result is always unsatisfactory, because this gives players a high degree of freedom Tactics, if something goes wrong in a link, it may cause a big crash.


    The concept of full attack and full defense tactics is ideal, but it is difficult to have room for survival. The most primitive tactical idea will first be resisted by players: you let world-class forwards suddenly become midfielders in the game, How many people will be happy?


    However, it is hailed as the third attack of the tactical revolution in football. It still provides new players with new tactical ideas, removes the idealized elements, and draws on the practical and feasible characteristics to build the team. Many coaches study the full attack. Full purpose.


    Aldrich can admit generously that Millwall''s offensive and changing many players are running and transposing, and the role is ambiguous and diversified.


    Subsequent "Space Team" Barcelona, ??its tactical essence also has the shadow of full attack and defense.


    Eindhoven can''t afford a full attack and defense. The apparent 11 players are attacking and 11 defense. This is basically inseparable from the true Dutch full attack and defense.


    So Aldridge was disappointed, he didn''t even see even one time, a role change of Eindhoven players in the formation position.


    The forward is the striker, the midfielder is the midfielder, and the defender is the defender.


    Thirty minutes passed.


    Eindhoven withstood the threat posed by Millwall''s six-foot shot. They also had two shots, but they had not invested much offensive force before, with one midfielder and three forwards.


    After half an hour, Eindhoven began to invest more troops in the offense, and an extra midfielder inserted in the attack!


    When Cocu tried to pass Millwall''s side defense behind the ball and handed the ball to Zenden, Southgate predicted the opponent''s pass in advance. A precise tackle blocked the ball and consciously The ball was blocked to Larsson who pulled back.


    Facing the rolling ball, Larson made a cross without any hesitation, and then turned around and rushed forward.


    Aldridge''s eyes suddenly became hot on the sidelines: now!


    The rhythm on the field suddenly changed.


    In the previous attack, Millwall passed the ball at the first glance. At this moment, when he turned from the defense to the attack, he began to continually kick the ball and mostly hit the ball.


    Makelele received a pass from Larson and passed the ball to Nedved in the forward position.


    The opponent''s midfielder immediately put it on to stop Nedved from turning around, but Nedved lightly knocked the ball again, and Barak stepped forward to take the ball and make a big step to break through the opponent''s midfield defense line. When Vchenko made an in-cut, he attracted the opponent''s full-back, and Barak made a diagonal pass. The ball rolled to the side and inserted into the foot of Schneider at high speed.


    The opposing defender immediately turned back to block Schneider, but the German still kept the ball and stuffed the ball into the penalty area. Shevchenko rushed to the bottom line and swept the ball back to the penalty spot.


    Trezeguet rushed forward to grab the point and took away Eindhoven''s defender. Just behind them, Larson inserted the ball diagonally at the penalty spot and took the ball home. Then came a foot shot.


    The ball rolled into the goal from between the goalkeeper''s legs.


    The big and small doors also declared lost!


    Millwall leads by one goal!


    Wembley screamed loud cheers.


    Aldridge closed his eyes and clenched his teeth, waving his right fist in front of him.


    That''s it!


    In the first 30 minutes, Millwall played conservatively. This was a tactical requirement. First, he was based on defense. Don''t be too unrestrained and cause the back defense to be hit back.


    Originally, the Dutch team was not afraid of the fast team. The Netherlands used 433 offensive football as the mainstream, playing in the civil war in the league. It is not a fast team. Millwall does not need to speed up as soon as he comes up.


    Furthermore, according to what Aldridge requested before the game, using the psychology of the opponent also wanting to win, although Eindhoven did not make a big attack, but the increase in the strength of the troops, it was not as easy as the previous one when turning from attack to defense, Milwaukee Er then suddenly accelerated the rhythm, playing them best at advancing quickly, and in the process of advancing, the ball shifted from one side to the other, shifting the opponent''s defensive center of gravity, and on the final blow, the attack was returned to the other side, causing the opponent Unprepared!


    Aldridge called Barak and Nedved before the players celebrated, telling them to unite their minds and never take it lightly or change established tactics just because they took the lead.


    The two midfielders nodded solemnly and agreed to come down.


    Millwall took the lead, but after re-kick-off, did not chase after the victory.


    After Eindhoven''s city gate lost, it was necessary to stabilize his mind first, so there was no big counterattack, and the offensive and defensive rhythms of the two teams became as fast as before.


    Aldridge didn''t dare to care about the moment with his arms around his chest, always observing the situation on the court, especially the performance of his disciples.


    Today, Millwall¡¯s tactics are very simple. If he is caught in a positional battle, then he will play more traditionally. The point-to-point pass, the forward players can intersect at more points, but the players in the midfield and backcourt are mainly stable.


    When Eindhoven attacked, Millwall should pay attention to it. Defensive is only the basic work they should do. More importantly, when the defense successfully switches between offense and defense, the timing of the attack at that time suddenly accelerates the pace of the game and exerts pressure on the opponent''s goal.


    It''s kind of like hiding the most threatening blow in a boxing match behind a series of tentative attacks.


    In terms of personal ability, Millwall''s players are not inferior to their opponents. In addition to playing in London, Millwall formed a more powerful rule of the game after scoring a goal.


    The first half ended in the regret that Trezeguet grabbed a header and missed the goal post. The two teams walked back to the locker room.

 Chapter 261： Very important first battle

    In the second half, the two sides changed sides and played again. The team''s lead did not make Aldridge''s spirit slack. He stood on the sidelines and put his hands in his pockets. He continued to monitor the battle seriously.


    Eindhoven is only one goal behind, of course, some chase, some time.


    After the game restarted, PSV accelerated the speed of counterattack when it was transferred from defense to defense, which directly led to a decline in their pass success rate, especially the success rate of forward penetration and penetration.


    Zambrotta won the cheers twice after successfully breaking the opponent''s straight pass on the left side. Perhaps his team''s offensive ability is not as good as Capdevila''s, but his defensive ability seems to be a general.


    Ed Vokat saw the opponent''s defense tightly closed, and immediately frowned, Eindhoven''s strongest winger Zenden was completely frozen today, and there was no bright spot in the offensive. Koko was also restricted by Makelele in the midfield. Live, Millwall players may be really unknown on the fame.


    Schneider and Barak were only recruited by the national team in a friendly match. They also took the bench. Makelele did not have the chance to play in the French national team. Zambrotta couldn''t even enter the national team, only at the lower level. The national team of China plays such a group of people, and they have gathered together to form a powerful fighting force.


    Seventy minutes into the game, Ed Wokart couldn''t sit still. Anyway, he lost zero points anyway. If he really wants to compete for home and away matches, let''s not say how low that probability is. If Eindhoven has a draw Or if you lose a game after scoring a goal, it is better than ending the game at 1:0.


    Therefore, under the coach''s on-the-spot adjustment, Eindhoven began to invest more troops in the offense. The three midfielders took turns to insert. When the offense and defense were converted, the role conversion was completed according to the position.


    Aldrich only saw the shadow of Dutch football''s full attack and defense.


    The center pulls the edge and becomes the winger. The winger inwards force the front to become the center, the back is inserted into the front, and the counterback is hit back to the midfield and the back is changed...


    There is definitely a tacit understanding among the players in a small single line. It is not difficult for the Dutch team to play such a dazzling exchange of roles and roles.


    And these, Millwall is no stranger, because they have this set in training, the players'' thinking is no longer staring at a player "loyalty".


    In response to the Eindhoven''s surprise offense that relied on transposition, Millwall was like a big mountain, letting east, west, and south winds, I wouldn''t move.


    After Eindhoven''s offensive was terminated by Southgate again in front of the penalty area, Millwall launched a wave of devastating counterattacks.


    In addition to Trezeguet¡¯s cruising forward in the frontcourt, Millwall contracted back to the second half in this defense. Southgate passed the ball directly to left-winger Larson after the defense was successful .


    Larson took the ball and crossed the middle of Nedved, and then Larson started to run forward, attracting the attention of the defender of Eindhoven.


    Nedved kept the ball on the left and saw it was a pass. Larson and the defender could not catch up, but when the ball came out of the sideline, the speed was amazing Brota poked the ball forward and then ran forward at full speed.


    The ball shocked the Eindhoven line of defense, a simple straight kick was counterattacked, and the line of defense was completely exploded.


    Zambrotta sprinted on the left, seeming to go straight, without any intent, and rushed to the bottom line with the ball.


    The Eindhoven defenders were farther away from Millwall¡¯s two forwards in the back defense. Although Trezeguet was at the highest position when countering, he attracted the attention of the central defender and was received when he rushed forward. Harassment, but he also slowed down the speed of the opponent''s central defender. Instead, Larson and Shevchenko on the other side rushed to the opponent''s penalty zone as if they were off the horse.


    At forty yards from the goal, Zambrotta was already two meters ahead of the opponent''s entire back line. When the 30-yard area was reached, the audience stood up and watched the attack.


    Millwall, including Zambrotta, has three people who are approaching the opponent''s goal. There is no defensive player at all!


    This scene is more exciting than a single-handed ball.


    Zambrotta vigorously crossed the ball in a parallel position on the line of the penalty area.


    Larson flew out at the previous point, trying to poke the ball with his toes, but he took a slow step, because before Zambrota passed the ball, he had a pause, fearing that he would be offside, After all, he runs faster without the ball than Zambrotta.


    The audience sighed, but the sigh was not over. Larsson''s missed ball rolled in front of Shevchenko. He was on the other side, farther away. The speed and pace of the passing ball were just right.


    The Ukrainian nuclear warhead chose to directly hit the door without hesitation. In order to ensure accuracy, he chose to shoot with his arch.


    Even if it is pushed with a foot arch, the speed of the ball is still too fast. It is almost a match with the in-place force. I saw the ball meteor generally entered the goal. Eindhoven goalkeeper was shoveled by Larsson. ''S movements were confusing and there was no interference with Shevchenko''s angle of shooting.


    "2:0! Millwall led by two goals! Shevchenko, Shevchenko, Shevchenko! The Ukrainians scored their first UEFA Champions League goal, this wave of counterattack Millwall completely destroyed the opponent, The audience must have seen blood boiling, simple and efficient, a fatal blow, Dutch football is good at playing fast, but they met a faster opponent today, this attack from the start to the end, it is likely to be in about 10 seconds, Millwall Today¡¯s play was impressive, when it should be fast, and when it was slow, it didn¡¯t give Eindhoven any chance, and they dominated the game!¡±


    Shevchenko smiled as he stood on the spot after scoring a goal. He still looks like the young and shy young man. When he changed to the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium, he must have celebrated frantically, but in the game that more than 80,000 people watched, He became shy again.


    Larson first rushed to Shevchenko after climbing from the ground to congratulate him on his goal, otherwise Larson would certainly blame himself for missing the previous point and wasting such a good opportunity.


    The fans in the grand lion''s stand are set in their hearts.


    Two goals lead, we won.


    This will lay a very good foundation for the group to qualify.


    Aldridge was excited, but after the celebration, he still made a pressure sign to the players. There are still 20 minutes of stoppage time in the game, and you must not give your opponent a chance to overturn because of your own care.


    This game is so important!


    The result will directly affect the next five games, Aldridge must win.


    If after the Champions League expansion, it becomes 32 teams to play in the group stage, then the first two qualifying groups in the group stage, as long as they can get 12 points in theory, in the 15 years after the expansion, only Naples alone is 12 points out of the group stage. of.


    But under the current group qualifying rules, can 12 points be guaranteed? Suspense is great!


    In other words, getting 4 wins is not enough to ensure the qualifying.


    If Millwall loses or only draws a tie in the game, the more pressure to play back, the opponent will not play conservatively because Millwall strives to qualify and will be more targeted in tactical arrangements.


    On the contrary, Millwall won the first victory, and other teams in the same group were passive, so in the next game, Millwall would be more favorable in terms of mentality and tactical choices.


    Ed Vokat saw the team lost the second ball, and suddenly felt powerless.


    Eindhoven has no chance at all, Millwall''s calm and calm control of the game rhythm makes people chill!


    The generals of Eindhoven on the court were unwilling, they also understood that to qualify for the group, every point must be contested, there is still time in the game, and the gap between the two **** is not enough to make people despair!


    Eindhoven continued to launch the offensive after the game restarted, and the more and more fierce, for a few minutes, the overall formation of Millwall was compressed in the second half. Even if Millwall returned from the defense to attack, they also used The most fierce and accurate interception and then regain the ball.


    Aldridge looked a little bit anxious on the sidelines. The players were a bit rigid when they calmed down. The counter-attack would require a few feet to pass. The pass-cut transition will penetrate the opponent''s defense.


    Dead brains, dead brains!


    Aldridge kept gesturing to the players on the sidelines, allowing them to look further when passing the ball.


    After the players awakened, Eindhoven once again approached the city. Cenden shot the angle from the side of the sideway and cut the angle. The shot was blocked by Elgra and the ball fell to Barak''s foot. He drew the ball laterally One step, and then a seemingly free kick kicked the ball towards the opponent''s half.


    But the audience looked at the area where the ball fell, and burst into cheers.


    Shevchenko struggled to get rid of the opponent''s entire back line with speed. The opponent''s defender had been snatching and snatching, just wanting to break Millwall''s counterattack.


    But this time, Barak played directly behind the ball, no longer playing the pass-cut transition, and Shevchenko unreasonably shook off his opponent, rushing forward with a speed to go to the meeting!


    Eindhoven goalkeeper immediately abandoned the goal, Shevchenko took the ball to pass the opponent''s goalkeeper, the ball was turned to the side, this ball, the ball was a bit big, the opponent''s goalkeeper lost focus and then immediately back .


    Shevchenko almost came to the bottom line when he caught the ball. He didn''t have a lot of shooting angles, so he directly crossed the ball and kicked in front of the goal.


    The Swede rushed to the ground. Under the interference of the opponent''s defender, he chose to shovel down this time. He even drove the ball into the goal.


    "Larsen scored twice! Millwall beat their opponents! They will usher in the first UEFA Champions League game in club history. Eindhoven was beaten without a fight, they should not give their opponents too much Behind them is empty, but if they do not accumulate the number of offenses in the frontcourt and maintain close contact with the three lines, they cannot get a decent offensive opportunity. Undoubtedly, this reflects the difference in the strength of the two teams!"


    Larsen stood up from the goal and jogged to find Shevchenko, with a big smile, he pointed his finger at each other.


    Aldridge was relieved.


    That''s right, in that case, the problem can be solved simply and rudely, so don''t play with it.


    He was really afraid that the players forgot Millwall''s self-made counterattack.


    The so-called "Milwall Track and Field Team" sprinting offense has been tried and tested under suitable circumstances.


    We are the forward who runs faster than your defender, we just can breathe before running 30 meters, and who is not convinced? I am not convinced that you run faster than me!


    Aldridge chuckled straight, thinking that Millwall had been playing in the position in the past season. The opponents will not give Millwall more than 30 meters of sprint space in the second Premier League season. So This group of players probably forgot: as long as there is a lot of free time in the frontcourt, the offense can actually play the simplest and most violent, a long pass, the striker catches the ball first, and the offense ends, Millwall celebrates the goal.


    Ed Vokat sat back in the coach seat silently in the loud cheers of Wembley.


    Eindhoven lost the game.

 Chapter 262： Want to beat someone

    Six or seven minutes before the end of the game, Eindhoven''s defeat has been decided, and fans of the crazy lion have already begun to celebrate.


    Eindhoven players were frustrated and began to slow down the game.


    Millwall players also have the idea of ??"just finish it."


    But Aldridge shouted to the players who slowed down on the sidelines: "Who made you slow down! The game is not over, and anyone who doesn''t want to play will walk off the field!"


    The players were in a sudden shock, good guys, this is a powerful one!


    Suddenly, Millwall''s players no matter what the formation or not, they rushed to the team members of Eindhoven like a beast, and they were caught by surprise with the crazy force.


    Trezeguet turned the ball in the penalty area and attempted to get rid of it horizontally. He then kicked the goal directly. As a result, he was violently put down by the defender. He had not had time to ask for a penalty from the referee and follow up Nedved. Just in front of him slammed the ball into the opponent''s door.


    Millwall 4:0 Eindhoven!


    The time has come to stoppage time.


    Eindhoven players stared at their opponents angrily with hands on hips.


    Fuck, you guys are too kind, this is to kill them!


    We won¡¯t attack if we won three, you still don¡¯t stop, and it¡¯s only three points to win ten more fucking!


    After losing three goals, Eindhoven can accept the whole team, the skills are not as good as people have nothing to say, but the fourth ball, the other party is bullying.


    When the whole game was over, Aldridge walked to shake hands with Ed Wokart, but the opponent turned to the player''s channel with a sullen face. Obviously, Ed Wokart felt that Aldridge was young and arrogant.


    Staying alive for a while, I''ll see you soon!


    You¡¯re all right, both players have lowered their speeds and are ready to kill the last time. You won to celebrate, I won¡¯t lose and I won¡¯t even stay here with the underpants. In the end, I have to humiliate us again, it seems that we are fighting a little bit. There is no spirit.


    This young handsome **** fucking!


    The fans in the stands were addicted, and they did not want to leave for a long time after the game. The players of the two sides exchanged after the game, some exchanged jerseys, then the players of Eindhoven left the field, and the players of Millwall remained. On the court, they expressed their gratitude to the fans in the stands, shaking hands and waving to the stands in a row.


    Aldrich also joined them, talking to each player a few words, praising their performance today, and encouraging them to continue to cheer.


    "Boss, the last ball seemed to upset the opponent."


    Schneider whispered to Aldrich. Aldrich hugged his shoulders and whispered in his ear: "They are right when they are unhappy. When they go to the Netherlands next time, they will definitely want to take revenge. I just want to make them angry."


    After listening, Schneider was relieved in his heart, grinning and not speaking again.


    When he greeted the fans in the stands, Millwall''s mascot, the lively blue cartoon lion Leo, ran over to make trouble.


    He hooked Aldridge''s shoulder and didn''t let go, but also patted Aldridge''s chest, as if to show the fans in the stands how great Aldridge was.


    "All right, let me go, I''m going to the post-match press conference."


    Aldridge almost wrestled with the little lion. The unlucky lion didn''t know what went crazy today, and pulled him to dance again.


    "Ronaldinho, won''t it be you again?"


    Aldridge pressed the punch and knocked "Leo" down on the ground, asking depressively.


    Sure enough, the two hands of the mascot pushed the lion''s head up, and Aldrich had not seen all the faces of the other party, and confirmed that it was Ronaldinho.


    No way, the mouth of the snow-white big buck can''t cover it!


    "Hey, boss, it''s really me."


    Aldridge frowned: "Aren''t you supposed to watch the game in the stands today?"


    He remembered that when Nagiso asked for a ticket, it happened that Aldridge was also on the side of the club. By the way, he looked at the list and vaguely remembered that Ronaldinho had today''s free VIP ticket.


    Ronaldinho said with a smile: "My ticket was given to Joe Cole. Anyway, I can watch the ball for free. I just sat on the sidelines just now."


    Aldridge was speechless for a while.


    In fact, many young players can watch the ball for free. On the home game day, Millwall''s caddies are all from the youth echelon.


    Leaving Ronaldinho and the players on the court to continue to enjoy the applause and cheers of the fans, Aldrich turned and walked to the post-match press conference.


    When Aldrich came to the scene, all the reporters on the stage raised their chests and raised their hands to ask questions.


    Aldridge took a sip of water before answering all questions without arrogance.


    For the performance of the Millwall players, Aldridge only took a few words in an understatement, thinking that this is the normal play of Millwall, and the players should play this level of the game, with this level of play.


    As for Eindhoven, Aldrich also has a lot of beautiful words. He praises his opponents with short speeches. As for the opponents losing, Aldridge said: As the Dutch champions last season, Eindhoven lacked With a touch of luck, they also did not show their full strength because of the away game. They will definitely show their true level the next time the two teams meet.


    The following day, the Times reported on this game with such a title: Absolute Domination!


    Fleet Street unanimously believes that Millwall¡¯s historic debut in the Champions League cannot be described as stunning, but rather spicy!


    In addition to the overall dominance of each game, throughout the game, Eindhoven did not have a threatening shot, and they shot 8 goals in the whole game and hit 4 goals, all from a very reluctant environment, Most of this kind of shooting can only break through the opponent''s goal through superb play, but Bout''s performance is quite satisfactory, the opponent did not test him, and the four-footed shot was easily resolved by him.


    Millwall passed the ball with an incredible 100% success rate in the midfield and backcourt!


    David Miller, who wrote the column, commented: If Millwall wants to control the score after the lead, they can completely let the opponent not touch the ball until the end of the game, but this is not Millwall¡¯s football philosophy. Many times Eindhoven wanted to control the rhythm of the game, but all failed to return. When they strengthened the fight, Millwall would find the defensive flaws exposed by the opponent after the grab. Eindhoven, the Dutch League Last season¡¯s champion became Millwall¡¯s touchstone. This game tells us that Millwall¡¯s football can not only rule England, but is also very competitive in Europe. If Millwall can beat more mainstream league champions So, this is enough to prove that Millwall''s football concept is the most advanced.


    After finishing the Champions League in the middle of the week, Aldridge will lead his team as a guest at White Hart Lane to play a London derby on the weekend.


    The main players have to take a break, and Aldridge does not think Tottenham is still a strong team.


    To say that Millwall was the most beautiful among the London teams last season, the summer transfer looked a bit shabby, and was ridiculed by Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham fans: the small team is always a small team, there are The money will not be spent, so I know to go outside to pick up the tatters.


    But after the start of the new season, the fans of Arsenal and Chelsea were completely beaten.


    One 5:0, one 7:0.


    Is the King of London worthy of fame?


    The Tottenham fans'' mouths have been closed for a long time. They are now overwhelmed. Tottenham bought Ginola, Ferdinand and other famous players in the summer. As a result, after six rounds of league games, they ranked in the downstream of the standings and won only two games. Draw one game and lose three games.


    Especially in the last round, they visited Leicester City and were washed by Martin O¡¯Neal¡¯s five-ball team, which directly broke Tottenham.


    From the point of view and status, Tottenham are no longer a strong team. The new aid came to the team and could not play with the original teammates.


    Before the start of the league, Aldridge had a headache when he asked the reporter about Luca Tony.


    "With a head-to-head kick against the Spurs in the previous round and scored three goals, Tony is now the top scorer in the Premier League. The loan agreement between Millwall and Leicester City is only half a season, right? Millwall will Considering giving him a chance in the second half of the season after recalling him in winter? He obviously has a lot of goals for Bitrezeguet, and his role on the front is also more prominent."


    Aldridge glanced at the newspaper that asked the question.


    Guardian.


    This question really makes Nima people want to drag the other party to beat it.


    Aldridge said after two coughs: "Trezeguet performed very well. In each of his new games this season, my evaluation of him is different, but on the basis of qualification, the number of goals does not reflect his All the team¡¯s contribution, Tony has performed very well recently, and I am happy for him. As for what will happen in the second half of the season, after the winter, let¡¯s take a look."


    In fact, before this game, Martin O''Neill had called Audridge: Tony sold it to me!


    Regarding Tony''s future, Aldridge has actually made a decision in the summer. He certainly has no future in Millwall.


    This idea will not be shaken by Tony''s excellent performance in Leicester City.


    The reason is very simple. In addition to the goalkeeper, the other ten players, if Aldridge has only nine general players and one Tony, then the team''s tactics must be around Tony, or only one Larson, Shevchen Ke, that must be other players serving this obviously stronger player.


    But in Millwall, how many players are inferior to Tony?


    It is impossible to take him as the core tactically. Even if he is left, he must not perform as well as he does on other teams.


    Not selling in the summer, just want to gamble to see if Tony will appreciate.


    There is no doubt that if Tony was sold three months ago, it would be impossible to sell it for more than 1.5 million pounds. Now he has performed well in Leicester City and won the attention of Martin O¡¯Neill, only a few games. It may be concluded that he can take the Premier League Golden Boots, but as long as he has a stable performance throughout the season and scores double figures, it seems that there is no problem now. Then, his transfer value will double, maybe double maybe.


    After all, Tony is still a Millwall player. Aldridge can¡¯t say anything in front of the media. He can only send reporters ambiguously.


    With this depression, Aldridge sent most of the bench to challenge Tottenham.


    But he did everything, and he didn''t expect that Tottenham, who always advertised gorgeous football, actually put his turtle array to greet Millwall.


    Aldridge sank like water on the sidelines, and even wanted to rush over to the coach seat opposite to ask Francis: You fuckingly **** wool, the last round as a guest to fight Leicester City, aren''t you very happy? Although it was a terrible loss, we should also look at our last game against Chelsea. We slaughtered the Blues with seven goals. Are you afraid? Are you afraid? Turtle array!


    Francis has a miserable comment. Tottenham''s newly-acquired players are all strong soldiers, but they can''t cooperate with each other. It is strange to say that Ginola and Ferdinand are directly transplanted to Newcastle United''s frontcourt side. The combination of "Why?"


    In the past few games, the offensive has been a complete mess. They lost Manchester United at home and Middlesbrough away. After two straight defeats, they won two straight wins. The home team scored a small victory over Derby County teams at this level. 3:2 victory over Aston Villa, then North London Derby and Arsenal ended flat, two wins and one tie in three consecutive games made Francis think that Tottenham passed the run-in period at the beginning of the season and can do a big job, but Unexpectedly, in the last round, Leicester City was cleanly cleaned by 5 **** of blood!


    Oh shit!


    The offense can''t be achieved. First defend well and don''t lose the ball. If you really attack, you can''t be beaten by Millwall.


    Just stick to it, as long as you don''t lose a 0:7, 0:5, anyway, on the three-point land of London, you can still save your face.

 Chapter 263： Kneel!

    The focus of the seventh round of the Premier League Tottenham Hotspur against Millwall at White Hart Lane made everyone depressed.


    Not to mention the fierce enthusiasm of this London Derby, even a spark did not burst out.


    Aldridge really felt miscalculated.


    He all sent off the bench to play, but the result is to let the bench lineup to fight tough battles!


    After playing the game for half an hour, except for Tottenham''s ability to play alone in the frontcourt, he could not see the signs of their soldiers'' pressure. Aldridge realized that his opponent did not know that I would be on the bench.


    Francis does not dare to bet on what lineup Millwall sent to play, only when the opponent will come up with the strongest strength to play this league, after all, it is the London Derby, Millwall is also a guest.


    But Aldridge boldly activated the bench.


    Fans on both sides of the stands were frustrated.


    Tottenham fans feel useless.


    Grass, your ancestor, Francis, the other party is a group of hairy boys in their early twenties, you **** at home but put a bus, you shameless, don''t let Tottenham faceless people!


    Home fans booed against their coach.


    Francis sat down calmly, quite unpretentious.


    I''m afraid he thinks more: if he loses to the gang of gangsters at home, then he has no face!


    Crazy lion fans came to White Hart Lane with the prestige of the victory over Eindhoven in the middle of the week, and they were full of joy to watch a wonderful match.


    Haven''t Tottenham fans always felt superior?


    I think Tottenham''s football is the most beautiful in England. Although we dared not to call it the most beautiful, we are definitely the most passionate football. As neighbors, we play well.


    Millwall and Tottenham basically have no hatred. Well water does not violate river water. At best, Tottenham defies Millwall''s poor ghosts, and Millwall''s hatred of riches fights back Tottenham.


    Fans are generally safe.


    But in the first half an hour of this game, the fans of the crazy lions shouted in a dumb voice, and finally could not help but sneer at the Tottenham fans.


    Tottenham, don''t be a turtle, okay?


    The Tottenham fans burst into tears and were despised by the rednecks!


    After the second half started, most of the crazy lion fans cried too: Malle Gobi, please, please attack, you are using human flesh to build the goal barrier so that the mosquito can not fly in, is it interesting? As far as you play, the ticket is half as expensive as our crazy lion, is that right?


    Tottenham players are not tired today, but it hurts. Except for the forward Ferdinand who is cleaner and the jersey is like a new one, the other players have retreated back and out of the penalty zone. They are either working as engineers or have a consciousness of sacrifice at all times. .


    Aldridge almost broke on the sidelines.


    Today, the trio of Duff, Fanny, and Glenshare were discharged from the front line. Fanny can fish in muddy water, but the people around him are too dense. The king of the small restricted area has not yet reached the level of the throne, and it is estimated that Fanny himself is fainted. , I can¡¯t figure out which direction the goal is in, raise my head, it¡¯s all humans, lower my head, all my feet, God knows which direction is southeast, northwest.


    The ability of Duff and Glenchard can''t reach the level of intensive defense now. Glenchard needs space, and Duff''s skills need to be hone.


    Aldridge¡¯s fantasy before the game was very beautiful. According to the Tottenham fight against Leicester City, Millwall didn¡¯t need to use Tony as a bridgehead like Martin O¡¯Neal. We had a speed winger, as long as Tottenham attacked, When Millwall moved from defense to offense, the two wings flew together.


    But Tottenham today was so determined that he and Millwall were dead. The success of the defense was a one-footed siege. Brothers watched in the backcourt: Les Brothers, it''s up to you! One of the defensive players on the opposite side is your nephew, let him indefinitely, your goal bonus can be given to him halfway home!


    Ferdinand robbed at the beginning of the first half to fight for a fight, and then simply walked so as not to be used as a monkey by the other party.


    The three midfielders today are Lampard and Gattuso who have recovered from Nedved''s injury. The 25-year-old steel-like Czech is an exemplary model in the team. There is nothing to say about professionalism, so the physical reserve is naturally no problem. Coupled with the inherent talents, the physical strength of continuous battle can be sustained.


    However, Nedved alone brought these young men with no problem in their mental appearance, but the teamwork was very threatening.


    You can¡¯t blame them either. Tottenham had been frantically looting in front of the penalty area. A group of engineers were conscientious. Nedved wanted to kill the thieves, but he still found the opportunity to patiently follow Duff, Glenn Charles, Fanny. , Lampard and other players communicate.


    How much can you grow by just talking and kicking in the game?


    Aldridge couldn''t stand it anymore. He went to the sidelines and called Materazzi to the front.


    Materazzi was also very clean. Except that Ferdinand tried to break through the opening and was easily resolved by him, the rest of the time, he played in the midfield, or the opponent''s goal kick he ran to the spot.


    "Marco, go up and play the striker."


    In fact, when Materazzi was called by Aldridge, he expected what he was expecting, and he went to the front with excitement without saying a word.


    Aldridge gave the players a few more gestures to make them understand how to play next.


    Glenshare took a long shot close to the middle and gave the side to Mills behind to pass the cross. The same was true on the other side. Duff was close to the middle and the side was handed to Neal.


    In this way, Millwall''s formation almost became 1144.


    The defender has one Rio Ferdinand left.


    Add Tusso on the waist.


    From left to right on the avant-garde line are Neil, Nedved, Lampard, Mills.


    The strikers are Duff, Fanny, Materazzi, and Glenshare.


    Although the formation is such a swing, but this is just the hierarchy of the offensive, if defending, the avant-garde line will quickly recover.


    Aldridge looked at the immobile Francis next door with a grieving look: Brother, I have done it to the point where you are a man, just attack it!


    At least on the bright side, Millwall gave his opponent a lot of offensive space.


    This is adventurous, but Aldridge can¡¯t help. They don¡¯t give the frontcourt players more space. They can¡¯t play. Some players are younger, they are weaker against the competition, and they are compressed. The advantage of the technology underfoot If they can''t play it, let alone the speed, they want to sprint, where do they sprint? Grandstand?


    The narrators Martin Taylor and Andy Gray are also extremely depressed, and feel that this ninety-minute game is simply torment.


    The coming and going is Millwall''s offensive, Tottenham makes a clearance, Millwall shoots long, Tottenham players block...


    When Millwall''s twelfth long-range shot was blocked by the opposing defender''s body, Martin Taylor almost wanted to smash the microphone!


    This cannot be explained completely.


    If they are radio commentators and there is no TV screen for the audience, then eight of the ten sentences in their commentary are Millwall offensive, passing, straight, passing, shooting, infinite loop.


    Listening to such explanations, the ghost knows whether they are explaining Millwall''s offensive training...


    The fans at White Hart Alley were almost numb with a dull look.


    Aldridge became the most active person besides the players on the court, he constantly adjusted the formation.


    The quality of Mills''s pass is poor. Although Glenshire''s pass is not good, but at least stronger than Mills, so that Glenshire and Mills transposed.


    The same is true on the other side. Duff has no space in the penalty area and gives him the ball under his feet. He can''t even touch it. He repeatedly falls in the penalty area and suffers from physical confrontation.


    So Aldridge sent the tougher Neil to the penalty area, and Duff used the gold left foot to pass the ball outside.


    This time Millwall had a very strange scene on the offensive end.


    "Uh, if it weren¡¯t for us to watch the game progress, I¡¯m afraid the audience would think that Millwall¡¯s players are all drunk today. Materazzi, Neil, Mills, three starting defenders rushed to the front for contention Header, act as a forward."


    "Hall really has no choice. On his bench today, there is only one van der Meade for the striker. The Dutch guy estimates that it is impossible to make a difference in this kind of scene, or let the defender use his body to expand the space in the penalty area. Grab the header, maybe a miracle will happen."


    "Miracle...I think today''s game is already a miracle."


    There is no room for personal penetration, and there is no room for personal breakthrough. Even if Aldridge is given a Maradona, he will not be able to give him an England half-time defense formation to break through!


    With a long-range shot of no more than 15 feet, Millwall estimated today to set a new record for the number of shots and the number of misses in the frame.


    When the game came to the last five minutes, Aldridge was ruthless in his heart, pointing at Leo Ferdinand and letting him rush up too.


    After the game started, the audience found that Rio Ferdinand was on stage and thought that today''s game will be particularly interesting.


    Les Ferdinand, as Leo¡¯s uncle, not only competed in the same game, but also defended one offensive and one defense, which will certainly be rumored.


    But when the game was about to end, everyone shook their heads and silently said in their hearts: This **** is a joke!


    The two were too free to sit together with Millwall goalkeeper Keller to fight the landlord.


    sports?


    Whose clothes are cleaner is almost the same.


    After Leo rushed up, Gattuso retreated to play the defender, what formation is Millwall now?


    145, or 127...it''s definitely a retro team.


    Not to mention, as soon as Leo rushed up, Millwall clearly prevailed.


    There were many high points in the penalty area, and the threat of passing the ball suddenly increased.


    A few consecutive passes made the Tottenham back defense frightened. They hurriedly made a clearance. Nedved, who consciously snatched the point outside, did not give Tottenham a chance to fight back.


    When the injury time came in the second minute, Lampard moved to the sidewalk and a very high-quality oblique long pass was suspended into the penalty area.


    Aldridge saw this pass from the sidelines, and the landing point was definitely good. At that landing point, there were three Millwall players in contention.


    Ferdinand, Materazzi, Neil.


    Good guys, three guards, if they just turned on the TV, they thought it was a set-off attack.


    Materazzi grabbed the Tottenham defender and grabbed a beautiful header.


    Aldridge saw the ball flying towards the goal, and he looked very happy.


    It took less than a second to let him fall into the lost abyss from the paradise he was about to celebrate.


    boom!


    The ball hit the lower edge of the beam and then bounced to the ground, surrounded by the goalkeeper.


    Aldridge knelt for Tottenham.


    Really kneeling.


    He covered his face and knelt on the sidelines to hide his loss.


    When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the match, Bailu Lane booed!


    Aldridge adjusted his lost mood, then did not shake hands with Francis, and walked straight into the player''s channel.


    After being interviewed in the mixed area, he led the team to leave White Hart Lane, a sad place.


    During the interview, without waiting for the reporter to ask questions, Aldridge said solemnly: "Congratulations to Tottenham''s victory."


    The BBC reporter was stunned and speechless.


    He immediately asked his colleague: "What''s the score?"


    "0:0."


    "determine?"


    "The whole world is sure!"


    This time the reporter turned back to look for Aldridge, but Aldridge had already left, he immediately caught up and said hurriedly: "Mr. Hall, you made a mistake. The match was just a draw."


    Aldridge turned back impatiently and said: "Yes, it is a draw. For Tottenham, a draw is a victory. In their eyes, the football game has two results. Losing is a failure. Draw is a victory. Winning? What is that stuff?"


    Aldrich turned around and walked away, not wanting to stay in White Hart Lane for another second.


    The BBC reporter smiled. He immediately said to the camera: "At Tottenham''s home, the defending champion suffered a fourth game of seven league losses in the new season. This is their third draw, although Hall showed Very unwilling, but Millwall¡¯s performance today should be worthy of respect, and Tottenham, perhaps as Hall said, Tottenham has no idea what it means to win, losing is not terrible, what is terrible is the loss of determination to win ."

 Chapter 264： Before the hard fight

    Not only was Aldridge depressed, but the players on both sides of the game today were also depressed. Oh, the Tottenham players felt useless. After the game, they left the court in a hurry to avoid the interview.


    Only Rio Ferdinand and Les Ferdinand seemed to have experienced a fierce battle between their uncles and nephews. After the game, they exchanged their shoulders with each other and officially exchanged jerseys.


    Leo did not meet the test today, and Rice also had reason to leave the stadium with his head held high today.


    That''s right, he walked almost the whole court, but this was arranged by the coach. His teammates didn''t even give him a chance. The backcourt shot was very blind, and Rice wanted to grab it.


    Millwall players left the stadium in extreme disappointment. In the player channel, facing the interview lens, most of the passing players were not in a mood to say anything, but the reporter grabbed the local teenager Lampard and insisted on asking him some thoughts about the game.


    Lampard had a bad luck in the new season. The community shield scored but was shoveled by Keane. He returned to the game more than a month later, but he encountered a tough and tough battle. He was very active in the game and repeatedly inserted far. The shot, but did not hit the target, all hit the opponent player or flew to the stands.


    "I don¡¯t know what Tottenham¡¯s players are thinking or how they understand the sport of football. I don¡¯t want to play against each other anymore. It doesn¡¯t make sense. If it¡¯s a knockout, give us stoppage time and we will definitely win. They But there is no chance of winning. This is White Hart Lane. Tottenham, as the host, did not shoot a shot, so I can¡¯t believe that this is the team I have seen Reinkel and Gascoin play together. The Tottenham back then was pleasing to the game, now? Are they also worthy of the Premier League?"


    A few other Millwall players also complained about the opponent''s unsuccessful approach.


    Aldridge did not criticize the performance of the players when he returned to the club. They showed a strong desire to win and a fighting spirit. The failure to win the game was a hard power factor, reflecting the deep problem is the thickness of Millwall¡¯s lineup. In the strict sense, Millwall only has a strong lineup of 1.5 sets. The first team is not the third goalkeeper. There are 27 players in total. There are almost seven or eight players. The practical significance of sending them to the game is to improve training, accumulate game experience, and digest. The knowledge they learned during training, at the same time, age is about equal to physical fitness. In the Premier League''s game environment where physical confrontation is important, if you can''t play the technical advantage and teamwork advantage, fight your body, Millwall''s bench lineup is really not obvious. Competing with many teams does not fall, it takes time to accumulate, and it will only be effective if the players exercise and strengthen day after day.


    The following day, Fleet Street sparked a fierce debate in all England football based on the final result of this game.


    It''s nice to say: Tottenham stubbornly draw the defending champion at home.


    But Millwall played most of the bench, but Tottenham beaten for 90 minutes. He didn''t even hit back. The zero field goal data is the best proof.


    Tottenham fame, retired only three years after Reinkel criticized the team''s performance, think Tottenham performance **** is not as good...


    All famous places also joined the debate, and for a while, anti-"bus tactic" public opinion was very popular.


    The clubs will pursue a better result for each game for the practical significance of the standings, but fans, spectators, commentators, media, etc. watchers only want to watch wonderful offensive football.


    What is more, the wailing of "English football is on the verge of death".


    But there are also sensible people who analyze such situations in depth.


    For example, Liverpool famous Alan Hansen.


    He published a column comment, the title is: the difference between putting a bus and defensive counterattack.


    The subtitle is: The defending champion is 3 points behind Leicester City.


    Hanson resumed Leicester City¡¯s first seven league games this season. Martin O¡¯Neal¡¯s team is impressive. Although his tactics are also very conservative, it is definitely not a bus, but Very pragmatic.


    In addition to tying Millwall in the new season, Leicester City won Aston Villa and Tottenham at home. Anfield captured Anfield to win Liverpool. They tied Manchester United and Arsenal at home. Elland Road took advantage of Leeds United.


    Seven wins, three draws and seven wins and two draws of Manchester United have maintained their undefeated momentum.


    Judging from the results, O''Neill''s team lost three conversations with the recognized strong teams. They are the weak side, but they slammed their opponents. Because in the face of these top strong teams, the tie is a small upset. Especially for teams like Leicester City.


    However, in the face of teams such as Tottenham and Liverpool who are definitely stronger than them, Leicester City still tenaciously scored three points, especially in Anfield can take away the victory is even more shocking.


    Alan Hanson believes that O''Neill''s tactics are reasonable. What''s wrong with the weak man''s defensive posture? But on the basis of the defensive posture, the goal is to fight for victory. If it is not Arsenal''s two consecutive goals at the last minute, the score will be fixed at 3:3. Leicester City will have to beat the strong team. Add the name of the arsenal.


    In the final summary, Alan Hansen believes that the broadcast contract of the Premier League in the new season has soared, and the economic benefits of the Champions League expansion and so on directly stimulated the goal of the All Premier League teams in the face of the game is not so pure.


    In the past, only champions could play in the Champions League. Once the points of other teams were pulled away by the leader, only one or two teams would catch up, and that also prompted them to emphasize offense to win.


    But now that the runner-up can also play in the Champions League, the competition of the First Group will be more intense, but it will also suffer from gains and losses, especially in the strong confrontation, for fear of losing to the opponent and losing the "6-point battle" widening the gap.


    Although the middle and lower reaches of the European team can¡¯t get involved, the temptation to stay in the Premier League is too big, forcing them to fight every point. Staying in the Premier League means that every season, the broadcast fee is more than six million pounds. In the past few seasons, it has more than doubled. In this case, a strong team can get one point, not a victory? Perhaps when relegating at the end of the season, these two points are worse.


    Aldridge ignored the outside discussion, although most people were praising Millwall, but what about fart? !


    Can you give Millwall a little more points?


    Millwall has become the target of the Premier League, directly cheaper Manchester United, Manchester United is not on the cusp of the storm, unbeaten in the seventh round of the new season, and has opened a 5 point gap with Millwall, even Leicester City are better than Millwall 3 more points.


    This directly caused Tony''s topic to be pushed to the front again. Some people also thought that if there was Tony in the Millwall formation during the tough battle, why would Aldridge use the defender to play the center?


    Aldrich was angry, and he didn''t want to ignore the reporters who were too busy to watch.


    Millwall''s 38th round of the league is not a tough game, Wenger, Dalglish, these coaches are self-respecting, let them put the bus? What a joke! Ferguson is even more so. Some other teams either can''t stop Millwall or they disdain the bus. The big thing is losing, and it''s not the end of the world. Why do you make the team look like nothing?


    The key is the thickness of Millwall''s lineup. If he gives Duff, Glenn Charles, Fanny, Lampard and other players to his peak, playing Tottenham away, it is estimated that the problem has been solved long ago.


    Before the Champions League started in the second round, Millwall had three league games and a League Cup.


    The club was filled with anger to be promoted to Barnsley.


    Aldridge put all the main players off the weekend.


    The newly promoted horse also came to put the bus, and wanted to get a gift from the Premier League on the defending champion, but they overestimated their strength.


    Even if all the staff retreated, Millwall led by three goals in the first half.


    Nedved kicked a hat-trick in the first half.


    Aldridge paced back and forth on the sidelines, chattering.


    The bus is a bus, but Barnsley does not have Liverpool, Tottenham''s team of players, nor the tactical command ability of Leicester City Martin O''Neal.


    At the level, it seems that the inner three layers and the outer three layers are watertight. The guard, the avant-garde line, plus a forward, the front to back layer is more stable than the barrier.


    But their defenders only know how to mark the opponents. The guards'' attention is focused on the opponent''s forward. The Millwall forward trident uses the running position and the pass to provide firepower to the rear Nedved, Barnes. Lee''s bus was smashed by goals.


    In the second half Aldridge directly replaced Nedved, and Barak went up to continue to press.


    Barnsley, who has conceded three goals in a row, started to fight back, which made Millwall play even better. In the second half, he received a fight under the direction of Aldridge. He scored three more goals and Larson scored two points. The ball, Trezeguet sports also scored a goal.


    Millwall away from the blood to promote the new horse.


    The next game against Everton was yet another draw. Millwall players were probably also confused by the bus-breaking tactics, thinking that they would definitely put the bus on the opponent. As a result, Everton sneaked into the company as soon as they came home. Played two goals, then pulled back in a tough battle.


    Aldridge is not disappointed, even if the main attack, can not ensure that every game wins absolutely, this is the law of football games.


    What''s more, Everton is getting worse, but before leaving the team, Joe Royal spent a lot of money to introduce many players to the team. The team''s poor record is the problem of the head coach. It doesn''t matter, such a team is leading by two goals away from the road, but hasn''t been able to win. It''s no wonder Everton has begun to enter the rhythm of relegation every year.


    In early October, Millwall challenged Southampton away. Following the **** victory over Tottenham''s relegation at White Hart Lane last season, Southampton''s tactical play this season is more unrestrained. Presumably, they feel that if they want to survive in the Premier League, they must If you dare to fight and dare to fight, the more you are passionate, the more chance you have, which makes them at least not in the embarrassment of relegation at the beginning of the new season standings.


    As a result, in a fierce battle, Millwall won Southampton 4-1 away.


    In the three rounds of the Premier League after Tottenham¡¯s draw, Millwall scored two wins and one draw. At the same time, the leader Manchester United won three matches and lost one game each time, narrowing the gap between the two teams to two points. This made Aldridge feel a little relieved, at least bit United and didn''t let the weaker chase after half a season.


    The signing of the Millwall League Cup in the new season is good. The first game is to play Lincoln City, and the second game is to play Notts County at home.


    Due to the second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, and that will be an absolute hard fight, Aldridge certainly chooses to train newcomers in the League Cup.


    He doesn''t care much about the domestic cup now. Millwall has such young rookies who need to exercise. The main players are the league and the Champions League. The domestic cup will be handed over to the young teenagers. If they can reach the final, Aldridge will Consider choosing the main force to win the trophy.


    Although Notts County has a conservative away game, but it also has the courage to attack. Such a game can train the abilities of the new Millwall people.


    Commanding the bench game is more difficult than commanding the main force. Aldridge has always reminded young players on the sidelines to let them run on the field and change their tactics according to the opponent''s situation. Eventually, they rely on Duff¡¯s score twice and Fanny¡¯s goal. , Millwall defeated Notts County with three goals at home and advanced to the next round.

 Chapter 265： Labor expedition

    The chilly Kiev airport landed a small passenger plane flying directly from London, England.


    The first one to walk out of the cabin door was Audridge in a suit and leather shoes. He had just taken two steps but then turned back. After a while, the suit on his body disappeared and was replaced by a warm jacket.


    A group of colleagues in the coaching staff behind him was wearing a warm jacket. At this time, he took the opportunity to make fun of Aldridge. Before coming, he said that he must be graceful and wear a suit to be decent. As a result, it was blown by the cold wind of Ukraine. Behind the demeanor, the temperature is still relatively real.


    In the second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Millwall made a guest challenge to Ukrainian class Dynamo Kiev Dynamo.


    Before the expedition, Aldridge made the team pay attention to this game. Before the game started, it had been declared that it would be an arduous battle.


    After entering October, the temperature in Ukraine began to drop sharply. The lowest daily temperature was close to zero. The competition was held at night. Although it was only five or six degrees lower than the temperature in the United Kingdom, the temperature of ten degrees and the temperature of five degrees felt Definitely different.


    The team''s expedition expedition, unlike last season when they went to France or the Netherlands to compete, the flight journey was less than two hours fast and three hours slow. They expeditioned to Ukraine and spent almost ten hours on the flight journey alone.


    On short flights, players can recover after a short break. Long flights are more tormenting, especially mental exhaustion, which is more likely to increase fatigue, and also count the time spent outside the flight.


    For more than 12 hours from the morning departure to the hotel in Kiev in the evening, Millwall did one thing: from London to Kiev.


    At the right time, the geographical position, the people, and Milwall were the same as the guests to challenge Dynamo Kiev.


    So Aldridge thinks it will be a tough game.


    The first team players rest early after staying in the hotel. In order to achieve the best quality of rest for the players, Millwall gives each player a separate room, so that each player can recover from fatigue in his favorite and comfortable way.


    For example, if someone likes to listen to some soothing music, some like to read a book, some want to talk to their family on the phone, etc., this allows them not to be disturbed by having teammates in the same room.


    The coaches have a room for two.


    Before going to bed, Aldridge played cards with two assistant coaches in the room.


    Gambling with joy, while spending time, entertaining yourself in this foreign country.


    They played Texas Hold''em. Oudrich had a bad hand in this game. Especially when his opponent was Benitez, who was still in the wind, he immediately fold. He hastily chose to be a pig and eat a tiger. The end.


    "Really sympathetic to Barcelona."


    Benitez raised a note, and then suddenly came out such a sentence.


    It is estimated that the blood of Real Madrid was boiling again.


    People who have worked in Real Madrid for such a long time always think of Barcelona in a special mood.


    Jenson called and said with a chuckle: "This schedule is the most beneficial to us. The second round of visits to Kiev is now in October. When Barcelona comes to visit, hehe, it is December in the snow and ice, At that time, the temperature difference between Spain and Ukraine exceeded fifteen degrees, and Barcelona really deserves sympathy."


    Aldridge took a sip and said lightly: "Even if the external factors are eliminated, Dynamo Kiev has enough strength to beat Barcelona. The upset in the first round of the group stage has proved this."


    Millwall''s team, the first round of Millwall''s four-ball victory over Eindhoven may not be a surprise to the outside world.


    The Premier League champion defeated the Dutch champions. From the perspective of the investment and personnel of the two teams, Milvoge won the victory unexpectedly, but the score was a bit larger. The outside world generally believed that the gap between the two goals was normal.


    But another game in the same group burst into shock.


    Barcelona''s Camp Nou was defeated by Ukrainian champion Dynamo Kiev 3:0!


    For a while, people began to pay attention to this summer coach to take office, or the third time the coach returned to Eastern Europe.


    Aldrich pondered with his chin, when someone knocked on the door, Aldridge shouted and asked to come in when he came back, only to see Najib walked in without a frown.


    Aldridge immediately asked: "How is it?"


    Najib shook his head and said: "Alonso and Pedretti have rested under the care of the team doctor, but tomorrow''s game will definitely not be played. Fortunately, it is just a common cold, not flu, otherwise it is really troublesome."


    Aldridge sighed: "Otherwise, tomorrow''s game will be cancelled. The youth team brought 16 people over. The two of them couldn''t play at once. Maybe they will go to bed tomorrow, and someone has a cold."


    Najib thought for a while and said: "Look at it tomorrow. If only two players are missing, the game will continue as usual during the day. If there are no players who can''t play, cancel it. That''s a pity."


    "It''s nothing, don''t worry, it''s also an exercise."


    Because of playing the Champions League, Millwall¡¯s youth team had three opportunities to go abroad for the second half of the year. They were all Millwall¡¯s guests to play in the youth team friendly match in the same period in Europe. As for Millwall¡¯s invitation to these opponents to come to London to take guests The youth team, all three teams refused without exception.


    After all, there will be club costs, and it will also disrupt the youth team¡¯s plan. Aldrich will just give up. If people don¡¯t want to come, let¡¯s just go and challenge.


    As Millwall sent the challenge to the door, these teams could not refuse, anyway, it was a matter of face.


    When there is a well-known star in Millwall''s first team, the youth team''s players will also be given the name of II.


    For example, Harvey Alonso, his ability to organize and dispatch in the midfield is very good. With the name of Pirlo II, Pedretti has the shadow of French predecessor Makelele, known as "Little Makelele" .


    Therefore, the ability of these two people to overwhelm those players who are one or two years older than them is included in the youth team''s roster, allowing them to receive diversified training earlier.


    After the end of the game, the coaches rested one after another.


    The next day, the players reported their situation, especially their physical condition, after getting up, and they must not conceal any uncomfortable physical reactions.


    Players are very careful in this regard. They all know that a healthy body can ensure good performance. Millwall is also very human under the management of Aldridge. He has been seriously injured and neglected for a year like Neal. It took a lot of energy and time to return to the team, and these players all remembered it in their eyes.


    Learning that the youth team did not add a cold to the sick, Aldridge breathed a sigh of relief. During the day, the youth team''s game with the Dynamo Kiev youth team will continue as usual.


    In the eyes of ordinary people, cold is a very common disease, and most of them can heal without medicine.


    However, for football players, a cold is a big problem. During strenuous exercise, it will cause respiratory diseases, and the body will become fragile. Perhaps an irregular movement will cause injury.


    Like historical Chiellini said in history: I hope Krasic will get the flu.


    It sounds like a joke to ordinary people.


    This is actually one of the most vicious curses in football.


    In the afternoon, on the court used by the Dynamo Kiev youth team, the Millwall youth team played a friendly match with the opponent. Audric did not go to the game. The final result was that Najib told him after the game: 4:2.


    The Millwall youth team lost by two goals.


    Aldrich left behind when he knew it.


    A match that was not expected to be too high originally caused a swarm of European media.


    At the site of the press conference before the Champions League, Aldridge was sitting still.


    Journalists from all countries want to see how the competition between the first two of this group will develop.


    "It¡¯s just a round of group games. Millwall¡¯s current group first is meaningless. We have neither made it out nor the other teams have been eliminated. Therefore, the rankings have no meaning, maybe only to the fourth round. After the fifth round of the group stage is over, we will know who is qualifying and who is determined to be out."


    Aldridge seemed very calm, he did not want to cause too much attention, which in turn made the team popular.


    Therefore, he highly praised Dynamo Kiev at the press conference.


    "This is a team that participates in the UEFA Champions League all the year round, but sometimes they have a bit of luck and cannot enter the main game. But this year they entered the European War very early and eliminated the Welsh champion and the Danish champion in the qualifiers. There is no doubt that Dynamo Kyiv stepped onto the stage step by step, plus the legendary coach Lobanovski who returned to the team this summer, Dynamo Kyiv is very strong, they beat in the Camp Nou Barcelona is not accidental, and Millwall played only one UEFA Champions League game. Although it won, I don¡¯t think we have a Champions League better than Dynamo Kyiv, and even the tradition of European wars. I will not allow players to despise here. , Because then, we will definitely leave here with disappointment and failure."


    When talking about the prospects of the game, Aldridge expressed the utmost importance to Dynamo Kiev. Some English media reporters put forward a hypothesis, which attracted the shame of their counterparts in Europe.


    "If Dynamo Kiev also uses an extremely conservative defensive counterattack at home, will Millwall still have a chance?"


    This is the original words of the English reporter.


    Journalists in all major European media shook their heads secretly.


    Aldridge also smiled and said: "A team that can enter the Champions League stage has its own unique label style. Second, the fierce and brutal competition situation makes every team have to give every effort to each game. Victory. I said just now that Dynamo Kiev is very strong, and Millwall is not a favorite to win, so the question I should think about is: Should Millwall play extremely conservatively."


    The English media reporters were a little bit dissatisfied. They felt that Millwall played for England on behalf of England, so he had to show his confidence as a champion division, and he was confident to win here.


    Other European journalists nodded again.


    The young commander was quite sober, no matter whether he really valued Dynamo Kyiv in his heart, he was at least eloquent in speaking.


    On the stage of the Champions League, what kind of onion is Millwall?


    If you think you won the European Cup Winners Cup last season, you can say that this team is still a frog.


    Real hero, how many have you encountered?


    The media outside of England have also heard that Millwall suffered a tough bus tactical sniper in the Premier League, but because the impression of the tactics behind the Premier League tactics is still rough, they did not take it seriously, only thought it was England''s unknowable teams were stunned by strong European-style teams.


    The journalists in England were indignant at the contemptuous eyes of their colleagues.


    They firmly believe that if the weather factor is excluded, even if Milwall plays away, Dynamo Kiev will not be able to dominate.


    In this context, the second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage kicked off, and the highly anticipated Premier League champion Millwall came to challenge Dynamo Kiev, and the war was on the verge.

 Chapter 266： Play against the legend

    Fans who like Shevchenko may be overwhelmingly because Ukrainian nuclear warheads detonated Apennine. Shevchenko on the court, regardless of highlights or sinking, has left fans with countless moments of immortal life, while off the court, even the last generation of Audrey Qi is not a fan of Sheva, but there is still a picture that impressed him and will be unforgettable for a long time.


    Shevchenko in that picture wears a black coat and stands next to a figure with a European Golden Globe in hand. It is calm but shocking: if you understand the story behind this picture.


    The master of the statue is the teacher of Shevchenko in history: Lobanovsky.


    The legendary coaches of the three European Golden Globe winners Blokhin, Beranov, and Shevchenko have been tuned in the original history. On this merit, another legend is comparable: Michels, The three names under the head of the Netherlands are: Cruyff, Gullit, Van Basten.


    Unfortunately, before Shevchenko won the Golden Globe, Lobanovsky died at the national funeral.


    Aldrich felt a bit cruel. He took away the head coach who fought against the disease and would stay in the ground five years later.


    In every glory of Dynamo Kiev, you can almost see the figure of Lobanovsky, this time is no exception, and the third time he began to take charge of Dynamo Kiev, it was the summer of 97, Audrey Qi Xian started strong and took Shevchenko two years ago.


    At this point, Aldridge feels cruel, but he does not regret it, because he thinks Shevchenko is better and more famous than the same period in history! For both Millwall Club and Shevchenko, it is a win-win situation. Dynamo Kiev may have regretted the sale of Shevchenko, but who let them accept the check issued by Millwall. ? This is a free choice.


    Aldridge walked with respect to the home team coach. Lobanovski was a wise coach. If it were not for the worse, he would definitely stand on the sidelines and command the disciples as before.


    Today, he stood on the sidelines, Aldridge came to him, greeted respectfully, and sent his respect in the simplest English.


    Lobanovsky was surprised by the humility of the young marshal from England. He had read the news and had a vague impression of the young marshal.


    The arrogant and arrogant boys who were rendered by the media couldn''t match the young man in front of him.


    Especially in the last game with a three-goal lead, Aldridge also madly let the team continue to attack, showing a strong and compelling characteristics.


    Lobanovski knew that he lived to be more than half a year old. There was no need to be tit-for-tat with his juniors. He seemed more veteran and calm, but it was also very easy to talk to Aldridge.


    Aldrich paid tribute in his way.


    Senior, we have a good fight!


    Lobanovsky laughed that Millwall was a strong team that could not be ignored. Aldrich was a young man and used a tone that encouraged his juniors.


    Aldridge shook his head slightly as he turned away.


    He knew how much he weighed.


    If he hadn''t occupied the gold mine in advance, how could he be rich?


    Compared to the success of other coaches, it''s true skills, Aldridge dare not think that he can compete with others, let alone compete with legendary coaches such as Lobanovsky.


    Of course, when you come to a match on the court, you should do whatever you want, and the humble heart towards the legend will be put away immediately.


    When the Champions League theme song sounded in the stadium, the players of both sides were already standing on the field, and their heads were solemnly waiting for the game to start.


    "The second round of the 97/98 season UEFA Champions League group stage started. Today at Dynamo Kyiv, they will face Millwall, who is ranked first in the group. The two teams have the same points and are all three points. But Dynamo Kyiv has one less goal difference than Millwall. Today''s game is a crucial battle for the two teams. If the final result of the match is to win or lose, then the winning team will occupy the qualifying position. The first glance."


    Aldridge watched the starting lineups of both sides on the sidelines. In addition to discussing the situation with the team before the first game, he let the players forget the standings afterwards. Every game is right.


    The most taboo thing about this kind of group game is to figure out how many games are left and how the situation will develop.


    It¡¯s very unwise to think about it and think about it. It¡¯s very unwise. Unless the team¡¯s status and strength are completely at a disadvantage, then the goal is set realistically. It¡¯s reasonable to be careful about the gains and losses in each game. middle.


    But Millwall is not afraid of any team in the same group, the head coach is not afraid, the players should not be afraid, psychologically, with the idea of ??"I can beat the opponent", I will go all out to get the tickets for the knockout.


    Millwall started today with a formation they don''t often play: 4321.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Elgra, Southgate, Zambrotta.


    Three midfielders: Ballack, Makelele, Lampard.


    Front waist: Larson, Nedved.


    Forward: Shevchenko.


    The English reporters and crazy lion fans who watched the ball on the spot saw that the team was in such a formation today, and an illusion suddenly appeared in his heart: Aldridge was really afraid of Dynamo Kiev!


    In fact, this game is a guest, and it is normal to be conservative. Secondly, in combination with the opponent''s situation and the weather of the venue, Aldridge believes that this Christmas tree formation is the most suitable.


    Speaking of the Christmas tree formation, perhaps the most talked about in two thousand years is Ancelotti''s favorite.


    However, this formation is not really a trick in contemporary Europe. No one would think that this formation is anything new.


    Capello used it very successfully in Italy. Last season he went to Real Madrid and basically used this Christmas tree formation, but it was often switched between 4321 and 4312 in the game, so that Real Madrid suppressed the possession in the league. Alien Barcelona, ??two points advantage La Liga won.


    In this game, due to the weather, Dynamo Kiev has the advantage of playing at home, and the players will definitely be more active than Millwall. It is not that Millwall players did not play in the weather of six or seven degrees, but suddenly From a dozen-degree environment to a six-seven-degree environment, normal people will have some discomfort, the weather suddenly becomes colder, the player''s self-protection awareness will sound the alarm, plus the unfamiliar with the venue, the running aspect is definitely Not as flexible as opponents.


    For this reason, Millwall''s 433 is often too risky and aggressive. Even for 4231, Aldridge believes that it is not safe, because in the case of running may be inferior to the opponent, once the frontcourt players retreat speed changes If it is slow, it will be penetrated.


    So today Aldridge uses three midfielders, of which Ballack and Lampard are all players who can compete and can grab. They stabilize the back line and cover the defense in the second half in an all-round way.


    Larsson is only a guise for playing the front midfielder. In fact, he is a second striker. He can pass and shoot. Just like Raul was under Capello, the single arrow Aldridge chose the Ukrainian. Obviously, he was Bitrezege More adapted to today''s game.


    The Dynamo Kiev side, although it seems to be a group of non-European mainstream famous players, but under the training of Lobanovsky, it has begun to shine, especially next season, when Dynamo Kiev is more mature It is simply a big kill. If in history, it was not 3-1 in the first leg of the semi-finals that Bayern pulled two goals in a row, it was Dynamo Kyiv that failed to achieve the triple crown.


    Today the opponent has a 451 formation.


    Goalkeeper: Shovkovsky


    Defenders: Luzny, Khrovka, Vashkuk, Karaze.


    Midfielders: Haskovic, Husin, Kadash, Kosovsky, Belkovic.


    Forward: Rebrov.


    In this starting lineup, two people will rise in popularity in the future, one is Carrazzue who is devoted to San Siro, and the other is AC Milan who also wants to bring Rebrov with Shevchenko to reorganize the gold frontline in history, but In the end, Lebrov moved to the Premier League and ended in failure.


    Most of them are not well-known, because they have not traveled west to the stage of the European mainstream league. In addition to Rebrov and Karaze, only Luzny also landed in the five major leagues, but in Arsenal and The Wolves did not show the level of power in Dynamo Kyiv. What is strange is that there are two players who did not travel west but went east to Asia and played briefly in China.


    Why did Aldrich admire Lobanovsky in his heart?


    But it''s not because of seeing the worship of famous people.


    It¡¯s because Dynamo Kiev has obviously lost Shevchenko, but Lobanovski still allows the team to perform very well, although slightly inferior to history, such as they did not at Camp Nou Can score the fourth goal, and Rebrov looks better and better than in the history. Without Dynamo Kiev¡¯s better forward seedlings, Lobanovsky simply took Belkovich. The attacking midfielder created a more comprehensive offensive player, able to organize and break the goal. Under the cover of Rebrov, he inserted the goal when the role was changed and it was beyond defense. In the Camp Nou, Belkovich entered very well. Beautiful ball.


    Because of this, Aldridge feels that changing to someone else is definitely not going to be better than Lobanovski. He can transform a midfielder into an excellent wing forward in just a few months. For example, Kosovsky, which exemplifies the superiority of the head coach. In this regard, Odrich Ghanby has the disadvantage and allows him to change the position and role of players on the field that are not known by "prophets." Researching and pondering at home for a few weeks will not dare to make a decision, because he is afraid of ruining the player''s future.


    The game is about to start, the two teams opened their positions, and only hundreds of fans came to cheer for the fans in the stands today.


    After all, it''s too far, and the game is in the middle of the week. To come here to cheer for the team, working fans have to take at least two days off, flying back and forth for more than 20 hours, let alone delays before and after the journey.


    Hundreds of fans can come here, which is enough to touch Aldridge.


    But the crazy lion fans in the stands were dumbfounded.


    Among the Dynamo Kiev fans, a group of people shirtless with open arms shouted frantically and cheered for the team.


    Crazy Lion fans would like to ask them: Are you cold?


    There are crazy fans all over the world, and if fans of Dynamo Kiev know what the fans of the crazy lions think, they will inevitably replied with disdain: cold? Where is this? Good luck, if you come in December, you will know whether we are cold or not.

 Chapter 267： Forget the champion status

    From the first minute of the game, Aldridge''s heart hung.


    It''s not that Dynamo Kiev performed too well, and it is estimated that it is only playing at a normal level.


    But there are few players who play well on Millwall.


    At the beginning of the game, Zambrotta slipped to the ground while defending on the wing. If it wasn¡¯t for Lampard, he would shove the ball under Haskovic out of the bottom line. During the acceleration process, Millwall''s entire defense line was broken, and Rebrov was out in front of the penalty area. It was a fatal pass for his teammates.


    Dynamo Kyiv followed with a corner kick. The two defenders in Millwall''s penalty area seemed to be slow to respond and moved significantly slower than usual. Schneider at the later point just asked for a header but was pushed back by a man behind him The ball hits the goal.


    "Karazze''s header! Butter made a difference! He held the ball firmly in his arms, this is a world-class save!"


    According to the past habits, as long as Bout controls the ball, he will definitely choose to counterattack, but now he is more mature in the goalkeeper position, he notices the abnormal play of his teammates, so he hugs the ball and slowly slows down the rhythm to let the teammates There is a cushioning space for breathing and calming.


    Seeing this situation, Aldridge gave a gesture to the frontcourt, and both front waists and forwards contracted back. Starting from the backcourt, the space between the fronts was compressed to strengthen the danger. Protection of the area.


    Although Millwall players were very serious when they warmed up, after the warm-up, in this cold temperature, their bodies quickly cooled down again, giving them a powerful feeling.


    This is the most normal human reaction. Ordinary people do strenuous exercise in cold weather, and the frequency and rhythm are deliberately controlled. This is the self-protection nerve that plays a role. Millwall is not as familiar as his opponent. Leng Qiu, running is not as good as opponents on the one hand, and not daring to make large moves is on the other hand, which limits their play.


    What''s worse, because they can''t show their strength, the players become agitated after the opening.


    I always feel unwilling, as if the opponent is hanging up, but he is put on a curse, how can this make them not worry?


    Aldrich conveyed instructions to the players that it was impossible for the on-the-spot command to discuss the adjustment of mentality with the players.


    But the head coach can make adjustments by letting the players act through the game.


    The front line shrinks, pass more **** first, it doesn''t matter if you pass back, first make sure you don''t lose the ball, and run up in the process of passing the ball.


    In this way of running and passing, boring ball control, Millwall''s ball control rate exceeded 80% for 20 minutes before the game!


    However, this 80% possession rate has no effect on the intuitive trend of the game.


    The deep-seated impact is: Millwall players'' bodies have run hot during these twenty minutes of passing the ball, their mentality has stabilized, and self-confidence has returned.


    This ball control is not to threaten opponents, but to adjust themselves.


    Dynamo Kyiv did not dare to push the ball across the board, so when Millwall fell in the backcourt, doing seemingly meaningless back-and-forth running, and passing the ball back without success, Dynamo Kyiv The players don¡¯t understand, they probably think that Millwall is going to spend time in the backcourt and then leave Ukraine with a draw.


    Dynamo Kiev fans stopped, booing in the stands and making fun of it.


    "This is the Premier League champion?"


    "Don''t you dare to live through halftime?"


    "This is the best team in Europe last season? My son''s school team plays better than them."


    "Pass it, pass the head, tortoise!"


    The fans of the crazy lion were all worried.


    What''s wrong with the team?


    The starting lineup is conservative and the play is conservative. Are you really afraid of Ukrainian classmates?


    It wasn''t until the 26th minute of the game that Millwall ushered in a threatening offensive.


    Schneider participated in the offensive on the wing, Barak assumed the premise of the attack, Nedved retreated from the front waist, and the three completed a continuous pass in the midfield and Schneider broke through on the wing. Kosovsky''s defense.


    But Schneider couldn''t play the advantage of speed today. He had an illusion that the Ukrainians on the opposite side ran faster than him. Although he was not known for his speed, but when there was room to move forward, he aimed at the opportunity to start bursting. Rushing for 30 meters, not many people in the Premier League can catch up with him, because the opponent has to turn around and start again.


    But after he passed Kosovsky today, he still couldn''t distance himself from the opponent. Under desperation, Schneider knocked the ball back to Nedved.


    Nedv¨§d did not stop the ball, but a straight pass made the ball pass precisely between the Dynamo Kiev Karaze and Vashchuk, and penetrated the entire line.


    At the same time, Shevchenko, who entered the game today the fastest, played almost without any impact, inserted the rib at the bottom line, and got the ball at the bottom line. Just when Dynamo Kiev retreated the entire back line and pressed against him, she Puchenko returned the ball to the top of the penalty area.


    Larsson, who was following up, came out of Husin and Kadash''s bag and shot the ball!


    This is a great opportunity, but last season''s European striker king kicked the ball away.


    In this unsuitable weather and playing field, Larson failed to play the normal level. At least this ball, even in poor Premier League, can hit the goal range.


    Aldridge applauded the disciples on the sidelines, praising the offense and keeping them discouraged.


    After seeing this attack, Jenson stood up and walked to Aldridge, whispering: "It is better to let the players play like they did just now, and it feels amazing."


    After listening, Aldridge shook his head and said, "No, that''s not our style. If we win the ball like this, the players will include this in a tactical choice. I don''t want that kind of thing to happen, and this tactic May not penetrate the defense of top teams."


    After thinking for a while, Jensen didn''t insist, and turned around and sat back.


    In fact, Millwall kept the offensive suddenly launched after a long period of ball control. It is a bit similar to Guardiola''s Barcelona. Patience is guaranteed on the basis of ensuring ball control.


    This has a very different effect on the morale and mentality of the two teams.


    Millwall players are in motion, and their thinking rhythm is getting faster and faster, while the Dynamo Kiev players are fighting in the frontcourt, but one unsuccessful, two unsuccessful, three times unsuccessful, they will gradually lose their minds, defense There will be loopholes in the link, and the distance with teammates will be opened in the unsettled fight, and the players on the defender line have been "hypnotized".


    They watched the ball passing in front and back, from left to right, from right to left, the local players couldn''t touch the ball, their surging fighting spirit was gradually worn away, and their bodies also cooled down.


    Under such circumstances, Millwall suddenly launched a wave of forward penetration offensive, the other side will be suddenly accelerated by the rhythm and exposed to empty.


    Just now Nedved''s straight ball is, if it is a high-speed running rhythm, how will Karaze and Vashkuk watch the ball roll between them, let alone Shevchenko The rib went to catch the ball, and Khrovka slowed by at least two steps. When they reacted, the defense line was full of loopholes. In anxiety, they all rushed to Shevchenko, but they missed it and inserted the follow-up pull. Nelson.


    But such an offensive is based on the transfer of 20 feet and 30 feet. Aldrich does not think this is a tactic that can be popularized or that the crazy lion can be used to fight.


    Relying on ball control is not enough to solve the problem.


    The reason why Dream 3 Barcelona is brilliant is that there is a single ball combined with Messi who can continuously break through anyone within a meter. When the situation where Barcelona can¡¯t pass the threat, always Messi stands out and solves it alone. Battle, and when Barcelona lose the key battle, the biggest problem is not whether they will pass the ball, whether they can control the ball, but Messi is not in the state, so whenever Barcelona loses, Messi will be punished. It¡¯s very strange, because Messi is the offensive core, but not the tactical core. Probably because this tactic has achieved incomparable brilliance in the Spanish national team, so the outside world will not question the tactics, but rather the one who should solve the battle alone. Messi.


    Now Millwall does not have Messi at his peak, or a player who can compete with it. Larson is the core of the offensive, because the threat of passing the ball gives him the most chance of breaking the goal, but he does not have a single heads-up defense. Ability, Aldridge can not allow the team to play this ball-control oppression tactics, in case of a world-class back line, it will look like a crazy lion.


    Lobanovski stood up from his seat and gave instructions to the players.


    Strengthening the pressure on the midfield cannot allow Millwall to comfortably control the ball.


    With the emergency line in the offensive that sounded the alarm bell, the Dynamo Kiev players no longer dared to take it lightly. The frontcourt players were more aggressive, and they were more adapted to today''s game and were better at playing. This led to a fierce fight between the two teams in the midfield.


    The two teams lost the ball quickly, Nedvide retreated and Ying Gang had to cooperate with Barak, but the ball was stopped at the foot of the plan to pass again, but Hu Xin was cut off, Hu Xin immediately plugged the side Kosov SKY.


    Kosovsky, who changed to the midfielder from the waist, touched the ball and completed the emergency stop change. He completed the inward in front of Schneider.


    Schneider gritted his teeth to chase.


    Today is really weird. In the face of Figo, McManaman, and Giggs, the top wing players can keep up with the rhythm of their opponents on the premise of defensive, the unknown Kosovs. Ji was able to stop in front of him in one go, his mental consciousness was keeping up, but his body was slow.


    Kosovsky saw Belkovic being followed closely by Lampard, and Rebrov did not run out of space. He chose to take the ball himself, just took a step, Makrele killed, he hurriedly He took the ball to the sideline and was squeezed out of Schneider''s position.


    Aldridge nodded secretly on the sidelines. This was a successful team defense.


    Millwall''s three-waist configuration today can make up for the weakness of the player''s personal play.


    As for how to play Millwall''s offense, it depends largely on Dynamo''s offensive strategy.


    If the opponent wants to rely on a small number of troops to solve the battle, as they did when winning against Barcelona, ??then Millwall will not give the opponent such a chance, because Millwall can put down the body and can forget the identity of the Premier League champion, don¡¯t mind Play more conservatively.


    If Dynamo Kiev is determined to win at home, they must invest in the offensive.


    In this way, Millwall is good at speeding up the offensive and defensive transition and finding opponents'' flaws.


    This is the case with football games, where risks and opportunities coexist, whether offensively or defensively.


    The boring first half ended, the first half can be divided into two sections, Millwall "dominated" the ball for the first 20 minutes and the next 25 minutes. Counting, Karaze''s header and Larson''s missed shot are the best opportunities for both teams.

 Chapter 268： Counterattack

    In the visitors'' locker room, Millwall players sat down to rest, and the masseur came to relax the muscles of the players and asked about their physical feelings.


    Aldrich didn''t walk into the locker room for a long time. He lit a cigarette outside the bathroom.


    He knew that the players were tired without going to the locker room.


    Although today''s first half was not the half with the longest running distance nor the most intense 45 minutes of scrambling, it was their most exhausting first half, in addition to the physical load and psychological pressure after the long journey. Invisibly increased their physical consumption.


    The situation is worse than he expected.


    On the basis of not wanting to lose, tactics should not be too unrestrained.


    Even though Millwall controlled the midfielder with a three-pointer midfield, patiently created opportunities, but could not form an effective continuous pressure, so the two teams began a fierce strangling in the midfield at the end of the first half.


    After a cigarette was smoked, there was a general idea. Aldridge walked back to the locker room. The players looked up at him in a coincidence. The quiet locker room, everyone was waiting for him.


    All players understand that if Millwall really plays their usual offensive football in this game, then the three lines will inevitably be disconnected, and the opponents will counterattack and destroy the city gate.


    Under such circumstances, Millwall did not give his opponent too many opportunities in the first half, which was considered to be a success to limit the opponent, but they want to win, and the other party must also think that the second half is the most critical point of victory!


    Aldridge clapped his hands and said: "Okay, I won''t say much nonsense. We will make some adjustments in the second half. Everyone remembers my words. When we are attacking in frontal positions, we play a little simpler. Opportunities are also tried as much as possible, but this is not the point. The point is that we need to contain the counterattacks initiated by the opponents after they are transferred from the defense. The most direct cooperation in air combat. In a word, we have to fight back with our opponents!"


    A counterattack against an opponent?


    The players all understood clearly and nodded one after another after understanding.


    In the first game of the new season, they played Arsenal. This is how several **** penetrated the opponent''s defense.


    When Arsenal turned from the defender to attack Millwall to counterattack, in those few seconds, the other party made a mistake, or Millwall defended successfully, quickly launched a second attack, directly destroying Arsenal.


    What is different from that game is that in the London Derby, in addition to catching the opponent''s counterattack mistakes, Millwall will also use a strong offensive fire to suppress the opponent''s nervous nerve at other times, as long as he makes a mistake, he will immediately Used by Millwall.


    But today, Millwall can''t exert continuous pressure. This kind of continuous pressure needs to be based on super physical fitness and accurate midfield and backcourt interception.


    The energy of the players is limited, and we must make the most of it today.


    Aldridge began to lay out tasks on the tactical board and focused on reminding defensive players of possible changes in the second half.


    Dynamo Kiev is bound to change.


    Aldrich did not believe that Lobanovsky would only be willing to draw at home.


    The biggest advantage of the Eastern European team is the home. Dynamo Kiev failed to participate in the Champions League main game in the past two years. The reason for the stoppage qualifier is that the away game is not good, and the home is often a **** of death.


    When the second half of the game started, the situation on the field suddenly changed, and the cautious style of the two teams disappeared in the first half. Instead, they decided to attack more firmly.


    Larsson took the ball in the front waist area, and after getting rid of Husin horizontally, he could not pass the second person. He handed the ball to Nedved, and the Czech broke through Kadash. Before Luzny came over to grab Long shot, the ball is a bit outrageous.


    Dynamo Kiev launched a fast break, Kosovsky took the ball on the left of the center line, cut in the middle horizontally, just took the ball two steps, and handed the ball to the left before Barak came to block him. Karaze The rim came up and took the ball just a step before Schneider cleanly broke the ball out of the sideline.


    Karaze threw the throw-in directly to Rebrov, who responded widely, which surprised all Millwall defensive players. After the ball was stopped in the chest, Rebrov suspended the ball into the penalty area. Belkovic was The outside of the penalty area actually chose a header to attack the goal. Although it was not threatening, it also made Southgate and Elgra startled. The defender''s most fearful thing was that the forward staring at him was gone, and he changed another name. The player who knew where he came from rushed up.


    Both teams started to play football in an unreasonable way.


    Larsson tried to stop the ball three times in front of the penalty area to get rid of it and then took a long shot. Nedvide took the ball and seemed to be going directly to the goal, but was defeated by Vashchuk in the last two consecutive times. .


    Dynamo Kiev is even more exaggerated. Forty yards away from the long shot hit four.


    Bute had just blocked Rebrov''s long shot, and Belkovic, who followed up, rushed into the penalty area to prepare for a supplementary shot. Southgate flew out to shovel the ball away. He climbed up and exchanged two words with Bout , Hope that the opponent will save the ball outside, it is best not to block the ball in the penalty area.


    Bute was very helpless. Just now Rebrov''s long-range shot was a bit floating. He couldn''t control the ball''s falling point. The goalkeeper was most afraid of such a long-range trajectory.


    Time went by one minute and one second, and the two teams came and went, and they seemed to want to solve the battle by the ability of individual soldiers.


    Shevchenko is the poorest on the front line, he almost disappeared into the camera, because he has been using the running position to create opportunities for his teammates.


    Twenty-five minutes after the start of the second half, Mad Lion had never waited for a chance, never.


    Dynamo Kiev does not seek to fight fast, so even if the counterattack from the defense to the attack will always stabilize the momentum forward, so that Millwall wants to fight the counterattack counterattack counterattack, and find no good opportunities.


    After seventy minutes, the pace of the game started to get faster and faster. Dynamo Kiev couldn''t hold back. It was their pursuit to win at home. The further back the game, the more unfavorable the situation was for them.


    Shevchenko''s dribbling breakthrough was broken. Khrovka delivered the ball to the side of Karaze''s side for the first time. Karaze took the ball forward and he scored the ball before Barak''s side defense blocked him. Going to the middle road to Belkovic, Belkovic was later intercepted by Makelele. He stumbled to the ground and complained to the referee for a foul, but the referee ignored it.


    At this moment, Makelele passed the ball to Barack, who had already started running forward.


    Barak and Karaze passed by, and Dynamo Kyiv was left undefended!


    This is the opportunity for Millwall to wait for a long time. The frontcourt players know that they can no longer rely on individual soldiers at this moment, and the Millwall team machine needs to operate precisely.


    Barak takes the ball forward, and Karaze will catch up with him when he returns to the defense. Barack kicks the ball forward. Larson actively catches the ball and attracts the attention of Kadash and Vashchuk. force.


    After receiving the ball, Larson directly put the ball straight behind the Dynamo Kiev defense line. Shevchenko, who had already formed a tacit understanding, ran into position. After turning the ball, it was the entire defense line of Dynamo Kiev. When shrinking, he calmly knocked the ball back out of the penalty area. After passing the ball to Larsen, Barack ran towards the middle of the road. Husin, who was marking Nedved, had to give up the Czech. When he came to Barak In front of him, he was shocked to find that the Germans took the ball straight into the left front.


    Hu Xinrumang is on his back, he turned around to chase desperately, there was a person there, a dangerous person he gave up a second ago!


    Nedved rushed forward, rushed forward after touching the ball, and rushed past a meter from Khrovka, single-handed!


    The goalkeeper Shovkovsky abandoned the door and Nedvide, who had always liked to vigorously volley, pricked his toes abnormally at this moment, and the ball rolled from the side of Shovkovsky into Kiev Di against the turf. Nemo''s goal!


    "In seventy-nine minutes, the guest Millwall took the lead! Nedvide scored! Millwall played a subtle counterattack and brought the team to full play! Can Dynamo Kiev tie the score? The two teams competed well in the past, and no one has a clear advantage, but Millwall first knocked on the opponent''s gate."


    After the goal, the players rushed to Nedved, the Czech did not go to the sidelines to celebrate, there were not many visiting fans coming here, and in order to save physical energy, he chose to stand on the spot to celebrate with his teammates.


    Aldridge saw the goal appear on the sidelines and immediately substituted.


    Gattuso, who has been warming up for twenty minutes, comes on stage to replace Lampard, who is obviously unable to keep up.


    After all, Lampard just recovered from his injury, and in this tough away game, he can stick to 80 minutes, and Audridge is very satisfied with him.


    And the opponent''s offense is to play on the wing. Belkovic cannot manage in the middle, playing a role of tandem with the wing players.


    After getting on Gattuso, the position of the three midfielder was rearranged.


    Makelele went to the right to help Schneider resist the impact of Karaze and Kosovsky, and Gattuso went to the left to help Zambrotta against Luzny and Haskovic''s side combination.


    Barak dispatched the organization in the middle, attacking and retreating.


    Hundreds of mad lion fans in the stands cheered and waved mad lion flags to celebrate.


    Dynamo Kiev fans are more depressed.


    They can''t see the strength of this championship team from England.


    Except for the subtlety of the goal just now, they don''t have the shadow of a super team.


    Like European shooter King Larson, it''s just one pass, the quality of the shot is not high, Shevchenko has not touched the ball too much, and it feels no threat.


    They apparently forgot that even Barcelona, ??with its star-studded stars, did not play well at the Camp Nou, enough to show how well Dynamo Kiev defended.


    Millwall also seized such a chance, if I missed it, I am afraid that this game will not have a second time.


    Just after Millwall''s substitutions, Dynamo Kyiv took out his determination to break the wreck, and the midfielders came back together, and the army was under pressure!


    However, the stadium is so big, if there are too many people, it is necessary to pass the ball more accurately. Millwall''s midfielder back line plus front midfielder Nedvide recovers the area within 30 yards in front of the goal. When the opponent''s attack is in danger In the area, Millwall''s fierce interception ability is manifested.


    Gattuso, Makelele, Barak, plus Nedved, which is not a defensive player?


    Dynamo Kyiv really can''t find a spot, they probably aren''t used to this kind of overwhelming kick.


    Those who rushed directly to the front line, there is no sense of system hierarchy, Millwall''s number is not inferior, and the defense distribution is also targeted.


    Belkovic can only choose to pass the ball and bet luck after getting the ball from the side!


    Southgate and Elgra didn''t touch the ball. The ball was blown by Bout.


    The ball rolled forward outside the penalty area, and Larson ran back to take control of the ball. Vashchuk also pressed back from behind. At the moment when the opponent wanted to steal his ball, Larson was ready to rush up. , The ball was pulled horizontally, and then started to accelerate, Larson came a roundabout, but quickly thrown away Vashchuk.


    Khrovkaben was against Shevchenko, but now he was the only one in the backcourt. Seeing the opponent''s striker rushing the ball, he gave up Shevchenko before Larsson was about to enter the penalty area. Shevchenko also moved laterally with the offside line. After Khrovka moved, Larsen dexterously passed the header and the ball fell firmly in front of Shevchenko. He faced the old club¡¯s The gate chose a very calm way to shoot the ball.


    Push.


    The speed of the ball was not fast, but Shovkovsky failed to touch the ball because the angle was too tricky. The ball was shot inside the goal post on the other side.


    Shevchenko lowered his head and slowly walked towards the backcourt after scoring a goal.

 Chapter 269： Sleepwalking Leo

    Teammates know that Dynamo Kiev is the old club of Shevchenko, so when Shevchenko helped the team to lock in the victory, Larson walked over to just touch his head, and other players also used a calm way. Come congratulate him on scoring.


    The stadium fell silent, and the home team fans seemed a bit frustrated.


    The group stage had a good start, even the top-flight Barcelona was killed by them on the road. It is expected that the team that sits at home against the Premier League. It will be ten-ninth with 3 points.


    Throughout the game, Dynamo Kiev¡¯s really threatening offensive is numbered. The closest to the goal was Karaze¡¯s header at the beginning of the game. Rebrov¡¯s long-range shot was beautiful in the second half, but the distance was too Far, giving the goalkeeper enough reaction time is not too threatening.


    Aldridge used two substitutions in a row to consume time. When the game was over, he calmly walked towards Lobanovsky. Although he won, he didn''t show the slightest publicity.


    After the two shook hands, Aldridge turned and walked into the player tunnel.


    Millwall players were relieved at the end of the game and then shouted.


    This uncomfortable and hard game finally ended, and they got the result they wanted!


    3 points, exclusive to the top of the group.


    The other two teams in the same group, Barcelona attacked away, but only got a draw in Eindhoven.


    Barcelona scored only one point, and the situation for the qualifying hot team was precarious.


    At the press conference after the game, Aldridge''s expression was calm, but there was a sense of pride in his speech.


    "We have achieved a great victory. The players not only defeated their excellent opponents on the court, but also defeated themselves. Under such unsuitable weather and field conditions, they need more mental quality. Overcoming the unfavorable factors, I am glad that they did it. Today¡¯s victory is crucial to Millwall. I am not referring to the ranking of the group standings, but this group of players will have new improvements after this game. Help them become more mature and make Millwall stronger."


    Since Millwall is the Premier League champion, although Dynamo Kiev is at home, but after all, it is not a champion in the European mainstream league, so the outside world thinks that Millwall is a popular winner, which is why Audrey before the game Qi has always emphasized that Millwall is not a popular reason and should be understated.


    Therefore, after the game, the reporters did not think there was any surprise. Millwall won the game and won Dynamo Kiev. This is not a great achievement.


    After all, the mad lion''s players are clear at a glance. How many players are the names of Dynamo Kiev well known in the mainstream European media? It¡¯s good to hear it.


    Dynamo Kyiv is not interested, and a reporter asked: "Milwall has already occupied the qualifying initiative, but in these two group matches, we have not seen Millwall in the Premier League. As the coach, don¡¯t you Don¡¯t want the team to show it on the European stage?"


    Aldridge replied indifferently: "First, we have two consecutive victories, and our destiny is in our hands, but this is not an absolute advantage, and it can even be ignored. Next, we will play Barcelona back to back for two rounds. Well, maybe after these two games are over, we will have no so-called initiative. Second, I am not a head coach, I will line up based on the team, opponents, environment and other factors, set foot in the Champions League On the stage, every minute, we are demonstrating ourselves, not just the skills and tactics themselves, but also our mental outlook, fan culture, club traditions, etc. We have won the game, this is the most important, facing Eindhoven Wen, a strong team like Dynamo Kyiv, I will only choose the most suitable tactical style, not what the outside world wants to see the most. No one can affect me at this point."


    The reporters at the scene were discouraged.


    To be honest, if it were not for them to study Millwall''s game last season, I am afraid they would not have high expectations for Millwall at all.


    Outside expectations are not Millwall''s wins.


    They just want to see passionate football games.


    As long as the game is broken, Millwall will be the focus even if he loses, and there is a topic that can be hyped.


    In a game like today that lacks creativity and highlights, what is the point of Millwall defeating Dynamo Kiev?


    On the stage of the Champions League, teams with far more influence and fame than Millwall are, if Millwall can¡¯t play style, make the game more exciting and ups and downs, unless they can finally achieve unexpected results, otherwise But it''s the run of the stage on this stage, to accompany those real heroes to sing on stage.


    In addition to the media in England, the enthusiasm for Millwall''s pursuit of mainstream media in other countries suddenly dissipated.


    After watching two of their UEFA Champions League group matches, they won or won, but none of them touched the touchstone of the team''s quality.


    The scene was not playful enough, the only thing that people looked forward to was the third and fourth round of the group stage, Millwall and Barcelona''s matchup.


    Aldridge led his team back to London is the next day, the players who are physically and mentally exhausted after a long trip back again dizzy, Aldridge had to give them one more day off, let them go home and have a good rest.


    This situation is really worrying.


    This year''s luck is good. Expedition to Ukraine in October. If you visit Ukraine in the last two rounds of the group stage, you really don''t know if the crazy lion will become an ice lion.


    When Aldridge thought about the future expansion of the Champions League, he had a greater chance of going to Northern Europe and going to Russia in the east to play the Champions League. This journey could not even endure people who did not play football.


    Weekend League against newly promoted Bolton, Aldridge was almost mad at Ferdinand!


    Playing the Champions League in the middle of the week, for the sake of insurance, Aldridge brought two backup central defenders. The final moment was to use Materazzi to play time. Ferdinand sat on the bench for 90 minutes.


    Playing Bolton on the weekend, the main rest, the double central defender is Materazzi and Ferdinand.


    As a result, Ferdinand on the field entered the state of sleepwalking from the beginning!


    Bolton used his luck to take a long shot as soon as he opened the game. When Ferdinand hit the bottom line, he gave the opponent a corner kick.


    As a result of the corner kick taken by Bolton, Ferdinand pushed the ball into his door.


    Aldridge really didn''t want to put too much psychological pressure on the other party, after all, he was not yet 19 years old.


    But within the next twenty minutes, Ferdinand continued to give the opponent a penalty.


    Aldridge stood on the sidelines with his arms crossed. When Bolton made a penalty, he immediately called Ferdinand to the front.


    Ferdinand didn''t speak with a sullen face, presumably he didn''t feel ashamed.


    "Leo, if I change you off now, you can¡¯t stand your head on the team, it¡¯s uncomfortable. It¡¯s now 27 minutes. We are behind two goals at home. I can¡¯t give up the game, but Bolton is really brave today. If you want to play against us, your position will still be tested. You tell me now that you still want to stay on the court?"


    Ferdinand said in a deep voice: "Boss, I will adjust the state and make no mistakes!"


    "Don''t tell me this, you tell me, do you still want to kick?"


    "miss you."


    "louder."


    "miss you!"


    "Go back and be energetic. Oolong ball and penalty kick will make you very worried. Take out a man. I will not replace you before the game unless you apply for it but stay on the field. Not enough, you have to prove it to your teammates and let your teammates trust you!"


    Ferdinand was finally awake and gradually entered the game after running back, but this late entry made Millwall fall behind by two goals at home.


    Aldridge really felt too tired to command the bench.


    "Andy, Andy! Come back and defend!"


    "Michael, tell Damien, don''t always take the ball to the dead corner, be patient with your teammates, you tell him I said it!"


    With Lampard and Nedved resting, and Pirlo still unhealed, Aldridge played a 442 formation today.


    Letting Duff and Van der Mead go to the winger is a bit demanding of them now, and they are both 18 years old.


    In order to give them a sense of defensiveness and develop defensive skills, let them play as a full-back.


    Gattuso and Barak form a double midfielder. The double forwards are Trezeguet and Fanny who did not play midweek.


    In previous rounds of the English Premier League losing points, Aldridge felt that he had too high demands on Duff and Van der Mede, not only to balance the defense, but also to work as a modern winger. They played away while playing. Team tactical system.


    The subconsciously high expectations of them are actually wrong.


    So let them do simpler tasks in the game, they are more competent, at least they can play together with their teammates.


    The modern winger''s active area is too large, and they certainly can''t find the feeling. The wing forward is simpler, the defense retreats, the attacking side, and occasionally can penetrate the middle when it is empty.


    At the end of the first half, Millwall still trailed by two goals.


    However, in the second half, as Ferdinand no longer became a hidden danger of defense, Duff and Van der Med were also more active on both sides, making Millwall''s offensive one wave higher than another.


    Aldridge watched Van der Meide and Duff on the sidelines and left the ball from the left and the right to make a cross after the bottom. They nodded secretly, and the two 18-year-old newcomers began to find a feeling on the field, more and more confident, able It is a good proof to control the ball in a small area.


    The body is still a little weak, and head-on confrontation does not rely on foot technology, and will basically be hit by Bolton players.


    As the two wing players gradually emerged, Millwall began to take advantage.


    In the 71st minute of the game, Van der Mede made a cross from the bottom of the right and Trezeguet nodded a header to break the goal to get Millwall back.


    After the goal, the team''s morale soared, and the offensive surged for a while, playing Bolton began to shrink 30 yards in front of the goal.


    Duff made a foul on the wing, Van der Mede took a free kick, Neal nodded the ball in front, and Ferdinand in front of the goal relayed the ball into Bolton''s goal.


    After this goal was scored, Ferdinand finally got his head up, with less than four minutes left in the game. After scoring, he immediately ran back with the ball in his hands, and his teammates all wanted to stage a reversal.


    Aldridge still akimbo on the sidelines, his eyes firmly determined.


    Bolton retreats across the board, and Millwall''s army is under pressure!


    When the stoppage time had passed, Millwall also had a corner kick.


    Bolton coach Colin Todd raised his hands to the referee in protest, thinking the game should be over.


    Todd also roared at the fourth official.


    "Thirty seconds have passed since stoppage time, how long will it take? How long? Is it necessary for Millwall to score another goal before the game ends?"


    Aldridge just stood beside him, staring at Bolton goal seriously.


    The crowd was dizzy.


    Van der Mede took the corner, the ball flew to the back point, Mills scrambled to reach the landing point, and then headed to the middle!


    Damn, what ferry is this?


    People ferry, the ball comes from the sky, he ferries, the ball hit the ground.


    But the Bolton players were terrified. The ball bounced in the penalty area, and then I didn''t know who was kicking. I saw the fans behind the goal all stood up and waved their arms excitedly.


    The goal is scored!


    Aldrich rushed into the court and jumped and jumped, waving his fists after applauding and he was very excited.


    Although it is the promotion of the lore, but two goals behind to reverse the game is very encouraging morale.


    The player who ran out of the crowd to celebrate was Van Nistelrooy. Anyway, he didn¡¯t know what was going on. The ball obviously didn¡¯t bounce in his direction, but it bounced in the penalty area. I don¡¯t know who it hit. , And then a ghost appeared at his feet, he didn''t want to be a foot, and the result really entered!


    Ferdinand took Fanny''s head and kissed it.


    With this lore, Ferdinand sleepwalking after the opening had finally relieved all mental pressure.

 Chapter 270： Leisure trip

    The team reversed the victory at the last moment, and Aldridge was in a good mood.


    After the interview in the mixed area, the reporter caught two questions.


    One is that Bolton coach Colin Todd complained that after the stoppage time the referee gave Millwall almost 40 seconds, which directly affected the result of the final game.


    Although Bolton only changed from 1 point to 0 points, relegation teams not only need a golden point, but the morale of the defending champion on the road is also indescribable.


    Aldridge did not want to get too entangled in this issue, but formulaically stated that the referee had his own standards. At the last moment, Bolton had a time-delaying behavior. It is normal to add more time appropriately.


    "Rio Ferdinand¡¯s performance today was half a disaster after the opening. It was a disaster. He scored an own goal and recklessly fouled a penalty in the penalty area. Do you think he deserves Millwall? Will Millwall consider introducing a better backup central defender?"


    Aldridge heard this question, his expression was still relaxed, but his tone was exaggerated a lot.


    "Wow, pay attention to your wording, the disaster is too much, yes, he didn''t enter the game at first, but later he found the feeling, helped the team score a goal, and did not commit any more on the defensive end. Wrong. I think he has the potential to become a world-class center defender, and Millwall will have to rely on him in the future, so I will not consider finding his replacement. He is only 19 years old and his career has just started."


    "Wit witnessed the low-level mistake he made today, you still insist that he will become a world-class defender?"


    "No one is born perfect. The difference between good players and ordinary players is the strength of willpower. In the face of adversity, some players gave up and surrendered, so the achievements are stunned by everyone, but Leo is not , He has a strong heart and willpower, so he can quickly make up for his mistakes, today''s game is definitely unforgettable for his life, I also hope that he does not forget, so that he can become more excellent on the basis of lessons learned , I hate the external stingy to give young players patience, ridicule and sarcasm for the players who have played badly in one or two games, concluded that his future is bleak, but too many people ignore their age, you should take a look, more 18, 19, Can a 20-year-old player play in the English Premier League at this age?"


    Aldrich took this opportunity to attack the outside world, protect his disciples, not to mention that young players are still immature in terms of technical ability and experience, even if they are world-class stars, there will always be ups and downs in a season. It''s quite normal, but it produced an annoying sound under the media rendering.


    After the European War in the weekend league, the Premier League upset.


    Manchester United draw to Derby County, Arsenal draw to promote Crystal Palace, Liverpool lose two goals in the Merseyside Derby, Aston Villa lose to the gang Wimbledon at home, Newcastle United are beaten by Leeds on the road United 4:1 thumps.


    In the top six Premier League teams last season, only the defending champion Millwall won a victory at the last moment, the other five teams either lost or lost, plus Leicester City lost to Chelsea away, standings The situation has changed dramatically.


    Millwall is back!


    He scored with Manchester United in the standings, but relying on the advantage of the goal difference, Millwall returned to the top of the standings after two months.


    Next year is the World Cup year, so the FIFA match day is earlier than in the singular years. Just after playing the league, the players have to fight for the national team.


    On a sunny afternoon, Aldridge sat in the stands of the youth team''s playing field to watch the youth league game.


    Some players who were not included in the game list were all sitting in the stands, and Ronaldinho was doing nothing.


    He sat next to Aldridge with a smug look.


    At first, Aldridge thought he was happy when he encountered something good, but slowly, he felt a little weird.


    Ronaldinho''s teeth grinned as if he was coming at him, with some "targeted" demonstrations in his eyes.


    "What are you doing?"


    "Hey."


    "Don''t do this, it makes me creepy."


    "Hey."


    "I''ll change seats."


    It is estimated that Ronaldinho is the first player who can scare away the head coach.


    Ronaldinho hurriedly raised his eyebrows: "You are about to fulfill your promise."


    Aldridge''s expression was stunned, and he suddenly understood what the kid''s smile meant.


    "How many goals did you score?"


    "you guess."


    "Shall I change my seat?"


    "Eh, boring, I have scored 11 goals."


    "What about assists?"


    "12. Hey, that German is so good, he can pass the ball over his head, he can put the ball into the opponent''s goal, I like him more, the Dutch are almost."


    Aldridge was surprised, not expecting Ronaldinho to do so well in the reserve team. It was a surprise to play such a stat as a winger.


    The German is Klose and the Dutch are Van Nistelrooy.


    Ronaldinho''s "clear love and hatred" is too obvious.


    "The two have different characteristics, your evaluation is biased, especially don''t tell your teammates this."


    "I''m not a fool, just tell them directly, I like you, don''t like him, isn''t this looking for me depressed?"


    Aldridge grinned, shook his head and stopped talking.


    Ronaldinho explained in detail why he likes Klose and dislikes Fanny.


    Because the Germans are humble and not so strong.


    Ronaldinho gave him high-ball assists, the opponent has a high chance of breaking the goal, for Ronaldinho, brushing assists is easy.


    In addition, Klose will take the initiative to cover the two wingers, Ronaldinho''s goals are mostly from Klose''s assists.


    The two had a little meaning of "good friends".


    After all, Ronaldinho played the reserve team game to know how hard it is. He has some disadvantages in physical confrontation, especially the reserve team members of other teams, many of them are players over 23 years old. Therefore, it is impossible to kick the ball and play with players of the same age. He is so good. In the reserve team, this trick is not easy to use, and people directly knock him over with his body.


    As for Fanny, Ronaldinho didn¡¯t like him because the opponent only used his center, plus his team qualifications. When playing in the reserve team, Fanny would always ask two wingers to pass to him and let the winger give him Serve, and make the ball for him compared to Klose, it is not so easy, often Ronaldinho has to find the free time to pass the ball to him, and then he wants to insert a goal, but the opponent does not pass the ball. Choose a shot.


    After listening to Ronaldinho''s long exposition, Aldridge sighed.


    The team is different.


    Over three years, Millwall has undergone tremendous changes.


    The team in the summer of 1994 was definitely not the best Millwall. The club not only had nothing but a notorious reputation.


    However, the players who came to the team have almost nothing, and both fame and fortune are blank.


    So everyone can be very united and sacrifice each other, just to make the team better, everyone''s interests will also increase over the same period.


    But now, the club has a reputation and a champion aura, the competition has become cruel and fierce.


    Perhaps the first thing players think about is not to contribute to this team, but first what their status is here, especially if they can''t play the main players.


    Because everyone knows that as long as they can gain a foothold in the first team and become the main player, then the contract will be doubled, and the focus of the outside world will be soaring.


    In the Youth League today, the Millwall youth team finally defeated their opponents 3-1 at home. Vassel, Cahill and Bresiano each contributed to the team''s victory.


    There were only more than a thousand local fans who watched the game. Because it was not a weekend, the attendance was much lower than usual.


    Najib, who led the youth team, has led the team to a strong performance since the new season. The youth league has won all the games. The Youth FA Cup has also sung forward. The goal statistics have also won the England Youth League. The only loss in the new season is to be a guest. Dynamo Kiev was defeated by the opponent.


    Aldrich came to watch the game to kill time. Tomorrow the team is still on holiday. When he walked out of the court, Ronaldinho followed him and asked, "Boss, where will tomorrow go?"


    "No, why?"


    "Would you take me to another city to play? I heard that you took a new Italian kid around the European countries in the summer."


    "How do you know it?"


    "I saw the picture in the cabinet in his dressing room and asked him."


    "Oh yeah, summer is just the way."


    "Then take me to play tomorrow."


    "Uh, I think about it, go to the gym tomorrow."


    Ronaldinho looked reluctantly and shook his head: "That''s boring? I''ve broken two treadmills in the gym. Is your home repaired?"


    "No, I plan to step on my bike and go to the countryside to see the scenery, so that I can exercise."


    After thinking for a while, Ronaldinho said: "Take me, anyway, I don''t have a place to go anymore. I plan to give myself a holiday tomorrow, no more practice."


    Aldridge stared at him suspiciously and asked, "What about your girlfriend?"


    "It''s early."


    "Why?"


    "I don''t like her friends, they are all students, and I feel some people look down on me."


    "Really?"


    "Uh, and she''s not beautiful enough."


    "You are really demanding."


    "All right."


    Aldrich agreed to Ronaldinho''s proposal, and then shook his head home.


    It is definitely not a good education to always let players stay in the club to train boringly. For young players who live in club dorms, Millwall will arrange them to enter a nearby school to study, and the schedule will be slightly free.


    Occasionally, some activities will be organized to enrich their lives.


    So the next day, Aldridge rode a bicycle from home and brought a lot of people.


    Ronaldinho''s big mouth informed his friends last night, and he took a vote to travel together.


    Even Aguero and Messi stepped on the bicycles behind them, Aldridge led the bicycle in the front, his face burned panic, he looked like a "king of children".


    I don''t know why, when I saw the young Messi, Aldridge naturally thought of Ronaldo, and once again saw the players.


    Villa, Carrick, Mex, Alonso, De Rossi, Messi, Aguero, and Ronaldinho, really did not see the figure of Ronaldo.


    Before leaving the community, Aldridge deliberately went to the training base, and as a result, C Ronaldo was caught.


    Whether he was happy or not, Aldridge dragged him anyway, got him a bicycle, and let him go with the gang.


    At the age of 12, Ronaldo was not happy at first, and felt that this was a waste of time.


    But until the afternoon when they were enjoying the beauty and food outside the village, the kid hardly wanted to go back to the training base.


    It happened that in the countryside where they walked on their bicycles, there was an elementary school holding an autumn sports event. Audric visited them, and then Ronaldo and Aguero broke the 100-meter record of this elementary school...


    When he went out, Aldridge looked embarrassed, because passers-by saw their gang of people on bicycles, with strange eyes and a smirk on their faces, but when dusk came and set foot on their way home, Aldridge looked at the boys , I really have indescribable joy in my heart.


    Hate, I forgot to bring my camera.


    Otherwise, taking pictures of them sitting in a row by the river will definitely be a classic in the future.

 Chapter 271： Bole and Maxima

    At the end of October, the cold wind blew, and the footsteps of winter were getting closer and closer, but European football was full of flames.


    The Millwall first team boarded a passenger plane flying to Barcelona for the third round of the Champions League group stage.


    They were sitting in the first-class cabin, Aldridge was sitting on the window and watching the scenery with his face sinking like water. He was upset.


    In the middle of this month, the players who finished the national team journey on the FIFA match day returned to the team. As a result, Trezeguet was injured when playing for France. He needs to be cured for five weeks, and other internationals have returned to the club exhausted.


    There will be a World Cup next summer. At this time, players recruited by the national team will have to work hard to get tickets for the World Cup if they have the opportunity, and some internationals destined to miss the World Cup will also do their best for national honor or a silver lining.


    Especially the international players like Shevchenko, Nedved, Larsen, who have traveled to the national team for a long journey back and forth, are very affected.


    The FIFA virus caused Millwall to lose points against weak players in the last two rounds of the league.


    Away with Coventry, the home team defeated Crystal Palace in the London Derby.


    Manchester United scored big scores in two consecutive rounds. In the game against Barnsley and Xie Wednesday, Manchester United scored a total of 13 goals and only lost one goal. Not only was the goal difference close to Millwall, but also Directly, the gap between the two teams'' points was opened by two points.


    The league only played 13 rounds, which seemed irrelevant. During the same period in the League Cup, Millwall continued his good luck, drawing to the relegated Nottingham Forest last season and easily defeating his opponent at home to advance to the quarterfinals.


    What worries Aldridge is the FIFA virus. Millwall can play only about 1.5 sets. With the young players, some people in the national team are fighting to enter the 23-man roster, while others are The main force of competition, especially in the national team of traditional powers, this causes players to consume very much when they go to the national team.


    Before leaving Barcelona, ??Aldridge held a fire from yesterday.


    Despised, despised, and even made Adrige feel trampled on dignity!


    The Barcelona coach Van Gaal published the Spanish football press.


    Van Gaal¡¯s original words were: In view of the backwardness of English football, it¡¯s no big deal for Millwall to become a Premier League champion. As a 21-year-old head coach, he did well, but the European Champions Cup is a very different stage. He must be very good now. Proud, but after two games, he will know the gap between Millwall and Barcelona.


    In the long report, Millwall was worthless by Van Gaal, not only disparaging Millwall''s achievements, but also despising Aldridge, even disdain to regard Aldridge as an opponent, he felt that Millwall and Barcelona met Is an opportunity for Millwall to learn, and an opportunity for Audric to learn from him.


    As for Millwall who defeated Barcelona six months ago to win the European Cup of Champions, Van Gaal was blunt: the British defeated the British, Barcelona should have won, but no, Barcelona should have won the league, nor, so Rob Sen is gone, and the head coach who is really rich enough to come here is right. I am talking about myself.


    How arrogant can this be said?


    There are a lot of lunatics in the coaching profession. Mourinho, who is famous in the future, is a model, but Audridge feels that Van Gaal is 100 times more arrogant than Mourinho!


    Mourinho entered Chelsea, to be fair, it is indeed a championship coach "condescending" coaching the team, he is a bit crazy.


    But Van Gaal went to Barcelona to pursue his new career. The press conference said bluntly: I have won more honors in Ajax in six years than in Barcelona in 100 years!


    The Dutch coach who now has a "football tyrant" in the media''s evaluation made Aldridge anger.


    From this, he finally focused his attention on Barcelona and Van Gaal.


    Ten years later, fans who knew Van Gaal knew that he looked down on English football and was arrogant and arrogant. Even if Ferguson opened up several generations of the Red Devils and won the European Championship twice, Van Gaal still despised Ferguson¡¯s Achievement, I think that no famous coach can match him. In the words, Ferguson''s achievements were obtained in the Premier League, which proved nothing.


    After the plane took off and looked at the beautiful clouds outside the window, Aldridge calmed down suddenly.


    Is this **** thing a psychological war?


    Van Gaal defies himself, angers himself, and makes Millwall play aggressive football even if he plays away.


    Aldrich felt his chin left and right, and suddenly sighed, "I was almost fooled. Uh, even if the other person said everything in my heart, wouldn''t it be cheaper if I lost my mind?"


    As he muttered to himself, someone near him suddenly approached him, reaching out to him friendly and saying, "Mr. Hall, would you mind me sitting down next to you?"


    Aldrich looked up. There was no one next to him. It didn¡¯t matter if he sat for the other party. Anyway, there was a problem with the crew.


    He shook hands with the other party only when the other party wanted to change seats.


    I''m a celebrity. Some people recognize it on the plane. There''s nothing to be fussed about.


    "This is my business card. Introduce yourself. My name is Smith Carter."


    Aldridge took a look at the other party¡¯s business card and realized that the other party might have deliberately found himself.


    Executives of the British Standard Chartered Bank.


    "Uh, what''s your job?"


    "Oh, I plan to go to Barcelona to watch the game, it is Millwall''s game."


    "Then you should go again tomorrow."


    "It''s nothing. I''ll take a break for myself and play in Barcelona for a day."


    "Mr. Carter, if you have something, please explain directly. I don¡¯t like to spend time with conversations that are not salty."


    Carter is a talented man, dressed in suits and leathers, and has an age of about forty. He looks very mature and attractive.


    He made a special trip to check Millwall''s itinerary today and went to Barcelona with Millwall. Fortunately, Millwall did not have a charter flight. This did nothing but reflect his sincerity, and also prevented Audric from refusing his door-to-door contact.


    Carter then opened the door and told Aldridge his intention.


    Actually want to cooperate with Millwall.


    Next summer, Millwall¡¯s two important sponsorship contracts will expire.


    One is jersey sponsorship. The club has already been renewed with Puma. In addition to this kind of sponsorship, the industry is nothing more than a few international first-tier brands, the most famous of which are Adidas and Nike.


    The second is the advertisement on the chest of the jersey. There is no movement on the side of Balek Bank. It seems that it is not planning to renew the contract in the summer.


    Carter is on behalf of Standard Chartered Bank to fight for the new shirt chest advertising sponsorship, becoming Millwall''s partner.


    "According to the information we have received, Balek Bank has no intention of renewing the contract with Millwall. They want a more influential publicity platform, such as the naming rights of the Premier League."


    Aldridge listened most of the time and did not make any remarks. This kind of thing was supposed to be in charge of Adam. He also told Adam very clearly. However, if someone came to him to find him, he could not dispel the other party¡¯s interest.


    If you say you want the other party to go to Adam, you might be suspicious.


    "Can you show me the introduction of Standard Chartered Bank?"


    Aldrich felt that there was nothing to do on this flight anyway, so let''s talk about it.


    Carter came prepared to explain the situation of their company to Aldridge.


    Although Standard Chartered Bank is headquartered in London, it is a British bank, but its banking business is within the scope of globalization. On the contrary, there are few customers in the UK.


    Therefore, they chose Millwall, the most important factor to consider is the influence of propaganda outside the UK.


    "I think you should go to Manchester United."


    Aldridge looked at the Standard Chartered bank introduction document and said casually.


    "It''s true that Edwards is asking for too much. We want to have long-term partners, and we can''t be sure of Manchester United''s prospects."


    "Huh? What do you mean?"


    Carter''s expression was slightly surprised, and then he smiled and said: "Don''t you know yet? In the English football circle this should not be a secret. Martin Edwards wants to sell Manchester United. The FA is obstructing, but they are helpless, so they have already Start contacting the government to suppress it."


    Aldridge froze for two seconds and shook his head: "I haven''t heard that because I don''t care about the political struggle of the club, and I''m not interested in other clubs'' equity transactions."


    "Oh, in your capacity, of course you don''t care about this."


    Standard Chartered Bank is not sure that Manchester United''s prospects are valid.


    If Aldridge remembers correctly, it should be during this period that media tycoon Murdoch is brewing Manchester United¡¯s acquisition case, which will be officially launched next year, and the purchase price will exceed 600 million pounds!


    But the British government came forward to obstruct the acquisition, and the Edwards family missed the time when Manchester United sold the highest price.


    In fact, this kind of deal looks like nonsense to foreign fans. If the club changes its boss, the government can control it? Buy one and sell one, Tongsuo has no bullying, why?


    But Manchester United is, after all, a symbol of British football. People¡¯s concepts have not changed. There is no such thing as ¡°capitalism¡± in the football industry ten years later.


    It is no exaggeration to say that if the Hall family is not local to London, even if it is a non-London family in the UK, the acquisition of Millwall will be rejected by the fans and even set off a huge opposition movement.


    This has nothing to do with whether outsiders can revitalize the team, but a question of ownership.


    The club belongs to the community and belongs to the fans. This old concept is deeply rooted, not the owner of the club!


    The commercialization of Manchester United made the fans hate because they blatantly turned the football club into a money-making tool. Edwards became the first salary-receiving chairman in football history, turning a charity job into a role of a migrant worker, not only In this way, the FA''s regulations specify the nature of the club''s non-profit organization, but Manchester United still pays dividends annually.


    In the development of commercial football, Manchester United is the leader, the first to eat crabs, and the most controversial.


    However, when the club became a joint-stock company, the FA or the government disappeared.


    The Edwards family became smart after Murdoch¡¯s acquisition, and waited a few years to secretly complete the equity transaction to sell Manchester United. When the FA and the British government reacted, all transactions have been completed and the water is difficult to recover.


    Aldrich closed the documents in his hand and said lightly: "Can you explain the reasons for the cooperation of Standard Chartered Bank? You want to sponsor Millwall, but I think you should have competitors, I don''t want to sit down and start, I just want to know , Why did you beat your competitors?"


    Carter talked freely and said confidently: "I am a person who believes in a visionary vision. I try my best to promote this cooperation because we want to be a long-term partner of Millwall and firmly believe that Millwall will bring us a good Market effect."


    "The reason for faith?"


    "First, Millwall has a strong financial background. The Hall family is still looting countries in Southeast Asia. The result of this financial war has been irreversible, and the Hall family conservatively estimates that it already has more than one billion pounds of assets. Although you are not involved in this, I believe that as the owner of Millwall, you will not lack financial support. Judging by your devotion to this team, you will not watch the team decline, and will continue Maintaining the competitiveness of the team may not guarantee a Premier League title every year, but after you lead the team to the European stage, I think that Millwall will stay on this stage for a long time to come. Second, Millwall is now a potential stock. The sooner you start, the greater the profit. Third, Millwall¡¯s own propaganda efforts. During my research on Millwall, I found that you are trying to use the emerging Internet to make propaganda influence. Almost every website about football has your advertisement. In other words, becoming a sponsor of Millwall¡¯s chest advertising, our bank itself has publicized it through the Internet."


    Aldridge turned his head to stare at Carter, and suddenly smiled, saying something that made Carter confused.


    "It turns out that in your eyes, you are Bole, and Millwall is a Maxima."

 Chapter 272： "Injured"

    Some people see it as usual, and some people know that they don¡¯t match their own characters at first sight. During the conversation with Carter, Aldrich quickly fell in love with the guy on the opposite side.


    Because the two talked straightforwardly, neither of them was the kind of old-fashioned and feminine character who was so clever.


    "No, no, it''s impossible, a six-year contract? I''m not willing to do it for four years, unless you give me ¡ê5 million in sponsorship every year."


    "The sponsorship fee of 2.3 million pounds per year is already a very high price."


    "Yes, the sponsorship fee of ¡ê300,000 six years ago was also sky-high, but now?"


    "Do you think the commercial value of football clubs will increase?"


    "Of course! Broadcasting technology is becoming more and more developed. For football clubs, this is just the beginning. Don''t see the Premier League broadcast contract has more than doubled this year, and the next contract will double. Your future for Millwall Have confidence, but you have overlooked the prospects of this market."


    Although Aldridge also felt that Carter was a friend worth making in a short time, at least he was very comfortable in chatting and communicating, but he would not sell the club''s future benefits cheaply.


    Carter¡¯s sponsorship fee looks super high this year, and he also proposed that both parties sign a long contract for six years!


    In this way, from a conservative point of view, Millwall''s long-term interests are guaranteed, but if there is a situation, Millwall''s interests will obviously suffer.


    This situation is: Millwall enters the Champions League every year, in other words, to maintain the position of the first Premier League group in the next six years.


    Aldrich will not be greedy for the long-term and ignore the long-term. This kind of loss is the worst in history.


    When moving into the new stadium, Arsenal signed an eight-year chest advertising sponsorship contract. At that time, the ¡ê5.5 million sponsorship contract was in line with Arsenal¡¯s value and economic environment. Coupled with the collapse of the football bubble, people thought that the market Already saturated.


    However, in the past eight years, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool, won the chest advertising sponsorship contract has soared, about 20 million less, more than 30 million.


    Arsenal''s first year of signing such a contract feels like it is not profitable, but the more time goes by, the more ridiculous it is. The cumulative addition before and after is reduced by about 100 million pounds compared to other teams at the same level.


    Although Aldrich would not lose so much if he signed a six-year contract in this era, he is such a person. When he manages the club carefully and changes from the head coach to the boss role, he is a bit stingy. Jiner.


    At this point, he also reminded Adam that the club''s sponsorship contract, with a deadline of moving into the new stadium, should not exceed three seasons at most.


    When they move into the new stadium, all sponsorship fees will have to be renegotiated on the new price tag.


    Carter insisted for a while and found that Aldridge could not be persuaded or defeated by temptation. He had to admit that Aldridge also possessed extraordinary vision.


    Specific contract details, when Carter returns to London, he will negotiate with Adam again, Aldridge does not give a commitment, in case there are other competitors to open a higher price, Millwall certainly chooses the option with more income .


    There was not a short time before the plane landed. The two left their jobs and started chatting like friends. What surprised Audridge was that as the British, the other party was actually a Maradona fan. It''s just the appearance of the British, so he never felt emotionally hurt by Maradona.


    Speaking of Maradona, the two were very sighed.


    Because just in the past two days, Maradona is the focus of football in the entire world.


    The Argentine football king officially bid farewell to Luyinchang and announced his retirement from the players.


    Aldridge really felt like making a good friend today.


    At least he is a rational fan like Carter.


    Worship Maradona, just worship Maradona on the court, as for Maradona outside the stadium, the two talked about a smile and shook his head.


    It is estimated that the world football can no longer find such a great combination of angels and demons.


    When the plane landed in Barcelona, ??Aldridge and Carter were separated. Before leaving, Carter wished Millwall good luck at the Camp Nou.


    Aldrich looked up outside the airport to see the clear skies of Spain in the cold autumn. Is it good luck? Who can pin hope on luck?


    After coming to Barcelona, ??Millwall completely entered a low-key, staying in a hotel farther away from Camp Nou, closed training, in addition to attending the pre-match press conference arranged by UEFA, Aldridge refused all interviews.


    This focus war has been chased by the media of various countries.


    Van Gaal''s bold words have been released.


    Aldridge never said a word.


    At the press conference, when Aldridge attended, the lights flashed. Everyone wanted to take a picture of Aldridge''s first visit to Nou Camp.


    What gesture will he come here?


    How would he fight back Van Gaal''s contempt?


    When Aldridge sat down, he seemed very calm, and the opening remarks were the same in Spanish and English.


    "I will only answer questions about today''s game, not questions about the game, I will treat it with silence."


    The reporters were depressed.


    We just came to see you fighting van Gaal!


    Last season, Aldridge was particularly stalemate with the Spanish media, especially the Catalan media.


    The cause was the debate about the Golden Globe Awards, and later it was because of the European winner Cup Millwall''s victory that such contradictions were fermented.


    It¡¯s just that the outside world is ridiculous. The Catalan media is in conflict with Audric because of whether Ronaldo deserves the Golden Globe. But Ronaldo flew only after staying at the Camp Nou Meazza.


    The source of the contradiction is gone, but the contradiction has continued.


    Now, they are on Van Gaal''s side, belittling and attacking Millwall and Aldridge.


    When the reporters asked about Van Gaal''s comments on Aldridge, Aldridge said nothing.


    As he said, he did not answer any questions that had nothing to do with the game.


    Until someone asked: "Barcelona''s first two games were tied and lost, are they hopeless in qualifying?"


    Aldrich only calmly said: "Of course they have hope, defeating Millwall in two rounds, and then Dynamo Kiev and Eindhoven have no team to win two consecutive games in the two contests at the same time, then, Barcelona will take control of their own destiny, and they will have the first chance with two rounds left."


    Catalan reporters curled their mouths, feeling that the young man finally spoke a human word.


    Well, it sounds right.


    Barcelona is only one step away from falling into the abyss.


    In the last four games they won, they had 13 points, and they will definitely make the top spot.


    This is also thanks to Millwall sniping Dynamo Kyiv away from the road to minimize the negative factors of Barcelona''s loss of points and the situation in the same group has become extremely delicate.


    "Listening to your tone, it seems pessimistic about the two games against Barcelona? Don''t you have the confidence to score in Barcelona?"


    Aldridge sighed and turned to the press officer: "Can I leave? I don''t want to waste time with some idiot here."


    He said this, and immediately angered the person who just asked the question, that is the reporter of the "World Sports News".


    "Mr. Hall, are you humiliating me in public?"


    Aldridge ignored the man and just looked at the press officer. The other party looked at the time and shook his head, indicating that the prescribed time had not yet arrived.


    Aldridge had no choice but to turn around and say: "I don''t know how the public views Barcelona''s game against Millwall, but I think some people think Millwall should give 6 points directly to Barcelona, ??and Millwall is convinced Accept the failure and kneel in front of Barcelona to flatter and flatter her. Sorry, the reality is cruel. Barcelona is a giant of Catalonia, a flag here, not only for football but also for Catalonia Spirit and fighting spirit, but this does not make Barcelona special in the arena, it must be able to overwhelm all opponents, it can become arrogant and rude, it can lack the most basic respect for foreign teams, and it¡¯s nothing to be arrogant. But a group of people are arrogant, I think this kind of psychology is morbid."


    Everyone except the Catalan reporters at the scene laughed.


    Haha, just a few minutes after I lost it, I was expecting it.


    "Who is that arrogant person in your mouth? Was it insinuating Van Gaal? Mr. Hall, when you first appeared in public, did you seem very arrogant? Declaring Millwall will enter a new era, huh, huh, But in Europe, you are nothing."


    Journalists in Catalonia are mad.


    I don¡¯t know why, they just don¡¯t like it.


    At a young age, he dared to bombard the Golden Globes, questioning Ronaldo''s list and stealing the trophy from Barcelona.


    Today, he came here as a guest. He seemed to be in a low profile, but actually gave people the feeling of ignoring them with silence.


    No matter what questions the reporters asked, Aldridge did not answer. Some reporters directly left the seat angrily. Aldridge looked at the press officer from time to time. After the other party indicated that he could leave, Aldridge got up and left.


    It¡¯s only the Catalan media who doesn¡¯t like him, and everyone else likes him because he has news, or where the 21-year-old head coach is, it¡¯s news itself.


    On the night of the game, the players stared at Aldridge in the locker room.


    The atmosphere in the dressing room is very weird today.


    Aldridge can''t stand it.


    Half of the players stared at Aldridge with a high-spirited look, and half of the players stared at him with a comforting look.


    They all know the news.


    Some players are also angry.


    They have struggled hard, and the championship achievements that they fight back with one shot at a time are trampled upon by others. Who can turn a blind eye?


    It''s normal to have fire in mind, but some mentally mature players are more calm, but more worried about Aldridge''s situation.


    From the start of preparing for this game to 25 minutes before the game, Aldridge was too calm.


    It''s kind of like being bullied and not reasoning but hiding your grievances in your heart.


    Think about it too. It is clearly a young handsome who has been recorded in history, but it is easily denied by others. It is normal to be hurt in the heart.


    Aldridge just felt unwise to fight back.


    The game was not played, and the pre-match battle was divided into situations. As is the case now, Aldridge believes that there is no need to ignore each other.


    Unexpectedly, he did not fight back, but was misunderstood as "injured" by the players. When he was preparing to give the players pre-match training, there was a scene in the locker room that made Aldridge feel dreaming.

 Chapter 273： Wait for the other partys trick

    Schneider suddenly stood up with a determined look on his face and said, "Boss, today we will definitely win the game!"


    "Yes! We hold our breath!"


    "Let Barcelona know clearly who is the strong!"


    "Don''t Van Gaal just win the Champions League? What''s so great! Crazy!"


    "Fuck Barcelona! We won them half a year ago, and we will convince them completely today!"


    "Yes, do it Barcelona!"


    ...


    Aldridge didn''t say a word, but the atmosphere in the locker room became excited.


    When the players shouted slogans for three minutes, they suddenly closed their mouths, because Aldridge stood there calmly, letting them shout for a long time, unmoved.


    "Boy, are you okay?"


    Southgate asked anxiously, thinking that Aldridge''s spirit would not be overwhelmed.


    Aldridge closed his eyes and lowered his head to smile lightly, then sighed: "You have such a strong fighting intention, I am very satisfied. However, I think that you are not in a good state."


    The players looked at each other, puzzled.


    There is something wrong with fighting spirit?


    Aldridge whispered: "Sit down first, I don''t think the more angry or aggressive the football team will win the game, Barcelona despise us, I think this is a normal thing. All Europe When the top giants of all countries meet us, they will despise us and look down on us, but some people hide this contempt in their hearts, and some people say it unabashedly. When I heard Van Gaal''s remarks the first time , I am also very angry, but calm down and think about it, even if this is the psychological battle of the opponent, I think it is a good thing, you have to remember a sentence, the more the ball of the world on the stage of the European Champions Cup Most of the team will fall miserably. Why have Italian teams been able to reach the Champions League finals these years? Because they are low-key and pragmatic, they are criticized for their conservative tactics, but they cannot question the excellent results achieved by the Italian team."


    The players calmed down, and they weren''t mindless. When they first heard it, they really believed that Van Gaal was playing psychological warfare.


    "Almost fooled, yeah, we are now the top team, Barcelona is going to break through, we are in a hurry."


    Southgate said with a touch of his head, the other players nodded with fear.


    Mentality is an important factor that affects the team¡¯s performance. They feel that if they shouted, killed, and rushed out to compete with Barcelona, ??they might be sifted by their opponents. In fairness, the two teams met in the final half a year ago. Millwall Winning hard, the final score is 4:1, but this is related to Barcelona''s last back-to-back all-round defense.


    Aldrich saw the players showing reflection, and smiled with relief: "Now is not a time for self-blame and thinking, this is also an experience, it is worth your slow digest after the game, the mentality of the strong will not be Interference from the outside world, especially not being interfered by the opponent, the more interference from the opponent, the less the opponent can succeed. How to play today''s game, everyone is very clear, I just want to ask you a word, is there Confidence wins?"


    "Of course!"


    The Millwall team shouted in unison.


    Aldridge twisted out of the locker room.


    This is not the first time Aldridge has come to Camp Nou. Many years ago, he came here to watch the game.


    But when he appeared on the sidelines, the fans in the nearby stands booed at him.


    When the broadcaster said his name, Camp Nou was booed.


    It''s normal not to welcome him here.


    If Millwall lost to Barcelona half a year ago, when Barcelona is visiting London, fans of the Lions are not welcome in Barcelona.


    Although this mentality is not positive, from the perspective of neutral fans, the side who lost before should welcome the winner, so that they can have a chance to justify another contest and defeat their opponents.


    Aldridge did not go to shake hands with Barcelona coach Van Gaal, the other side was sitting on the coach seat, Robson was fired in the summer, but Mourinho remained, but now Mourinho''s position in the team has plummeted, like Van Gaal This kind of super control freak won''t give others a chance, especially Mourinho, whose title is "translation", can intervene in the team''s power.


    Millwall''s young handsome stood on the sidelines, the weather turned cold, he was wearing a black Armani coat, stylish and cold.


    "The focus of the third round of the UEFA Champions League Group C is about to be staged at the Camp Nou. Barcelona, ??who is at home, plays against Millwall from England. The situation in Barcelona''s qualifying situation is precarious. After two rounds, they only got one point, but their fate is still. In their own hands, as long as they beat Millwall in two rounds, their prospects for qualifying will remain optimistic."


    Aldridge looked at the starting players on both sides. As for the formation, wait and see after the game to get a general idea.


    Millwall played 4231 today. Except for Trezeguet''s absence due to injury, the lineup is relatively neat. Fanny replaced Trezeguet as the starting arrow. Larson, Nedved, Shevchenko are in Behind the striker, the double backs are Makelele and Barak, Schneider, Elgra, Southgate, and Zambrotta. This line of defense has also played a lot of games this season. Goalkeeper Bout There are ups and downs in the Premier League, but the recent two games have been adjusted quickly, which can be a little reassuring.


    Barcelona''s starting lineup looks like a 451, but it can change to 442, 424, or 433 at any time.


    Goalkeeper: Baia.


    Defenders: Reziger, Cotto, Abelado, Sergi.


    Midfielders: Guardiola, Giovanni, Rivaldo, Figo, Enrique.


    Forward: Anderson.


    Aldridge didn¡¯t say anything. In reality, for the first time, Van Gaal, who looked at each other across the distance for the first time, was already wicked, but it is undeniable that the other party is a famous coach and the highest number in the history of Dutch football. Characters.


    Barcelona is also a great club, and the war with Millwall is the most normal thing between clubs.


    In the eyes of the handsome, it will not be more true to what the starting formation is, nor will it start to use its brain to decrypt because of what the starting formation is.


    Italy''s coach can put 442, 433 and other seemingly balanced aggressive formations, but in fact, in the game, the four forwards can devote more than 70% of their energy to defense, who can say that such a 442 is balanced?


    Today''s Barcelona starting lineup is the same, the key lies in the changes in the player''s position in the game.


    Rivaldo is obviously the focus. His position determines the change of formation. He moves forward, and the formation can become 442, or 4231, or 4141, etc.


    It would be an irreparable mistake if Rivaldo ignored him because he started behind two wingers and forwards.


    The opponent is an invisible killer!


    In the next two World Cups in the next five years, the Brazilian team shines with the number one person being Ronaldo, but the two games have only scored one less goal than Ronaldo, named Rivaldo, and the goals are like gold As precious.


    At the beginning of the game, the guest Millwall took the lead to kick off. After Fanny kicked the ball, Larsson passed the ball back, and the formation did not press forward. Millwall played a simple unilateral long pass, Shevchen After taking the ball on the wing, Ke tried to break through and was resolved by Sergi. Barcelona counterattacked!


    Guardiola, Giovanni, Figo, after three passes, the ball came down to Rivaldo through Figo''s foot.


    Aldridge was watching from the sidelines, not surprisingly.


    Rivadol broke forward after taking the ball, and saw that he had passed Makelele, but the Frenchman obviously turned around and put a shovel at the same time after being wiped. The toe kicked the ball and Rivaldo fell to the ground.


    The Barcelona player asked the referee for a foul, but the referee ignored it.


    Makelele is really reassuring!


    Even if his frontal interception fails, he will not be easily broken through. Even if he is broken, he will quickly go back to fill the position. His contribution to the defense is irreplaceable.


    Millwall was transferred from the defense, and Zambrotta handed the ball directly to Larson who ran out in front. Larson took the ball and used his body to resist Guardiola, and then used the passing fake to confuse the opponent. Then he went it alone, broke through the opponent and then moved forward, but was destroyed by Reziger.


    After the opening, the two sides played together rather quickly, with a fast pace.


    Guardiola is still the pivot of offensive and defensive conversion, but he has too much energy to focus on defense, so the offensive talent cannot be released.


    Bailey paid for a Brazilian to land in Europe. This player is Giovanni. He was arranged from the striker to the midfield position. Van Gaal must have valued his transmission and control technology.


    Coupled with Rivaldo, who is free in the frontcourt, Figo and Enrique, who can play on both sides, Barcelona''s offensive system is very threatening. This period is called the "spiral system".


    The ideal is always good. Van Gaal just wants Barcelona to play the best offensive football. The offensive system during the spiral advancement, tearing the opponent''s defenses layer by layer, is expected to be a three-dimensional comprehensive oppression.


    However, this also requires the implementation of world-class players. Today they just met Millwall, whose defense strength is quite tough. During Millwall''s midfield and back and forth, they clearly couldn''t control the scene.


    Figo tried to break through Schneider and was kicked off the sideline by the latter.


    Half a year later, Schneider became more mature in the position of the right back. He could keep up with Figo''s rhythm and could not break the ball. As long as the destruction was done, he could contain the opponent''s offense and slow down the opponent''s rhythm.


    Rivaldo collaborated with his teammates in the midfield and when Enrique passed the ball back to his feet, Makelele killed him and stretched his feet to block the ball. In the two players, Makelele won and the ball was converted again. Control.


    Barcelona quickly realized that the opponent was still the crazy lion half a year ago!


    They have no absolute advantage in one-on-one. When the number of offenses in the frontcourt and the number of defenses of the opponent are at a disadvantage, it is difficult to penetrate the opponent''s defense line with a small range.


    Millwall also did not press forward, relying on personal ability to fight back.


    Neither team has a superstar who can single out the opponent''s entire defense line. Even Ronaldo half a year ago, there was no bright spot in that game except for one goal.


    This game is not exciting enough, but Aldridge feels that this game is more important to the team!


    Will test their patience, overall view, mentality, will and other qualities.


    It is far more empirical than an uncontrolled mad attack.


    The game was played for ten minutes without a shot. Both teams focused on fighting for control of the midfield.


    Aldrich looked at the Barcelona coach seat intentionally or unintentionally. Van Gaal, who looked at the expressionless face, still seemed confident.


    Van Gaal, let''s do it.


    Now Barcelona doesn''t shine at all!

 Chapter 274： Oppressive offense and defensive counterattack

    What is the status of Van Gaal in Aldridge?


    To use a more popular word to describe it is: awesome!


    This "superb" evaluation and admiration is not a star chasing mentality from the perspective of the audience, but Aldridge is treating the other party as a living textbook on the road of learning how to be an excellent head coach!


    Once, he spent the longest time in the Netherlands, because in addition to personally observing the training and competition of Ajax, he also repeatedly studied the video of more than two hundred games of Ajax during the Van Gaal era.


    The Ajax built by Van Gaal has been upgraded on the basis of the traditional 433, and established a system of large diamonds and small triangles. The three-dimensional line connection makes the tactical advantages clear at a glance.


    Ajax also has a No. 4 position under his hands, but it is very different from the quarterback on the football field and the No. 4 position in Barcelona.


    The fourth position of Ajax is served by a defender or midfielder who can attack and defend. When defending, the fourth position is a defender. When attacking, the fourth position is a midfielder and the formation has changed from 433 to 343.


    The point of organizing the core retreat, Van Gaal put forward in the early 1990s, and is more bold than Cruyff''s core theory of the midfield, using the central defender to organize the attack!


    At that time, Ajax had four large diamonds on the field and countless small triangles, including goalkeepers. They all became passing points. They ruled the game through the passing of the ball and could not allow a certain player. Excessive ball holding and breaking away from the tactical system.


    In view of this, it is not difficult to understand why Van Gaal and Rivaldo are in conflict. The more free-playing superstars, the less they are tolerated by Van Gaal. At this point, Audric believes that Van Gaal is right. Yes, because he is also a head coach, he also does not allow players who disrupt the team¡¯s tactical system.


    Less than half a year after joining Barcelona, ??how did Van Gaal transform Barcelona?


    At least he didn''t dare to let the team attack 343 against Millwall.


    In the thirteenth minute of the game, Van Gaal got up and gave orders to the Barcelona generals. They were about to start putting pressure on them!


    Soon, Aldridge saw Barcelona''s sense of hierarchy become more and more clear when attacking, and the small triangle system was clear at a glance. They wanted to use this closely related pass to consume the opponent''s physical fitness, and also sought to tear The defense is empty.


    But every time they attack deep, the offense ends.


    Millwall had at least four defenders and three midfielders to withdraw while defending. The winger would also press the defender and harass the opponent to take the ball.


    This tactic is inherently oppressive. As Millwall''s defensive formation shrinks, the opponent''s pass back and forth is just useless.


    As a result, the stars began to exert their abilities. Figo was shoveled the ball forward by Elgra in the wing, Schneider took the ball and observed the situation in front, then passed the ball to the inside of the running position. De Verde.


    Before the Guardiola came up and rushed, the Czech passed the ball back to Barak.


    Van Gaal asked the players to fight back on the spot, so they rushed to the player where the ball was. Barak figured out how to play the ball before receiving the ball. He made a long pass to the left and Larsson withdrew the ball. The genius right-back Reziger, who hadn''t come out yet, hadn''t pressed it up yet, but he was horrified.


    They all know that Millwall''s biggest threat is Larsen, not just because of the top scorer in Europe last season. In Rotterdam six months ago, the Swedes destroyed Barcelona with two goals.


    Therefore, they all focused on watching Larson.


    But the Swede is very cunning today. He took the ball straight behind Serezig.


    Van Nistelrooy, the king of the small penalty area, rushed over to catch the ball.


    The biggest weakness of the oppression style is that the backcourt is too big.


    The defender does not press to form a ball point, the compression effect is greatly reduced, the defender line is pressed, then the counterattack is hit, and the space behind is too large. This play requires a top guard and a defensive midfielder to protect the space. Diola did not obstruct Nedved''s pass for the first time, allowing Millwall''s counterattack to brew, which laid a hidden danger for the subsequent series of passives.


    Fanny touched the ball on the left in front of the penalty area. Before Cotto posted it, he forcibly turned and knocked on the middle. After he passed the ball, the whole person fell to the ground, but he successfully passed the ball.


    After knocking the ball back to Barak when he counterattacked, Nedved ran forward into the ribs of Barcelona''s penalty area. Fanny''s pass was just right, when goalkeeper Baia and defender Abelado came to block him. At the angle of shot, Nedved again passed the ball.


    Shevchenko rushed up and pushed the ball into the empty goal before Sergi.


    Camp Nou was silent!


    "Shevchenko opened the record! Millwall''s swift counterattack destroyed Barcelona''s defense! The guest Millwall led by one goal and Barcelona had stepped out of the cliff with one foot! If they could not reverse, they would fall Abyss, desperation, desperation, Millwall has forced Barcelona into desperation!"


    Shevchenko rushed to Nedved after scoring a goal, jumped and hugged by Nedved, they celebrated in front of Barcelona!


    Van Gaal didn''t change his face, Aldridge didn''t see any change in his expression, he didn''t even laugh.


    He stood calmly on the sidelines with his hands in his trench coat pockets.


    The players habitually looked to the sidelines, and when they saw Aldridge¡¯s reaction, they all knew that they could not be taken lightly, and they could not be embarrassed by the advanced ball.


    The game only played for twenty minutes.


    When the players waved their fists with each other and walked back to the halftime formation, they also reminded each other to improve their concentration. There must be no slack.


    Barcelona''s offensive force is even stronger, but Millwall is like an iron plate.


    The situation on the court gives an intuitive feeling that Barcelona is more active, and Millwall is like a swamp. Whether it is a person or a ball, as long as it enters a dangerous zone, it will sink into the swamp.


    After studying Van Gaal¡¯s small triangle passing system, Aldridge did not transplant this offensive method, but instead, on the basis of chain defense, he applied this triangle system to defense, at the defensive station. In terms of position, Millwall''s small-area defense system is a small triangle. In the game of constantly changing sports, players complement each other and maintain this advantageous small triangle system.


    They rarely use offside tactics, unless it is a team that encounters a super midfield organization, it will make the midfield line oppress the organization''s midfield, and it is easier to predict the moment when the opponent takes the ball and contact the forward striker. The chance of success in offside is greater, such as last season''s first round match against Paris Saint-Germain.


    Barcelona''s spiral system offensive requires opponents to rush out to compete for the ball to have more depth. But Millwall uses a slightly static defense to ensure the safety of the forty yard danger zone in front of the door. Forty yards In addition, how do you love how to pass, as you play happily, anyway, the goal must be Barcelona, ??not Millwall.


    Almost 13 years later, Mourinho, who is sitting next to Van Gaal, used Van Gaal¡¯s Bayern Munich to desperately watch Inter Milan ascend to the top of Europe in almost the same way.


    Seventeen minutes later, Barcelona seemed to have the advantage, but it didn''t even have a decent shot. Giovanni made a mistake in the pass. After Marklele broke the ball, it was a long pass to find the forward arrow. Fanny.


    The Dutch took the ball horizontally near the middle circle, and after swinging the angle, a straight plug left.


    Larson took the inward route and went side by side with Rezige.


    During the sprint, the distance between the two became larger and larger. Reziger did not choose to foul because Cotto had already chased back the route that blocked Larson.


    However, after two steps with the ball, Larsson went straight to the right, and Shevchenko rushed inwards on the other side quickly. After catching the ball, he went straight into the penalty area and chose to volley without interference!


    The ball rolled towards the bottom left corner of the goal against the turf. Baia made a slow jump and the ball penetrated the goal from under his arm.


    "Shevchenko scored twice! The Ukrainian striker performed really well today. The forward with such superb shooting speed is what Barcelona is most afraid of!"


    Many fans in the Camp Nou held their heads in disbelief.


    The first half was not over yet, two goals fell behind!


    Shevchenko rushed to Larson again, the two shooters hugged together, and at the same time opened arms to Fanny who ran over and hugged each other.


    "Barcelona has invested at least seven players in the offense, but they didn''t even have a threatening shot. In contrast, Millwall hit two or three people in the counterattack, but had scored two goals. This is a typical oppression offensive attack. Compared with the defensive counterattack tactics, at present, the England young coach Hall is superior."


    The head coaches of both sides of the game are very strange today.


    Barcelona missed two goals and Van Gaal was still.


    Millwall led by two goals and Aldridge was indifferent.


    Leading two goals is the most dangerous mentality. Aldridge still does not have any celebration action, just slightly raised his chin.


    It seemed to be defying the entire Camp Nou, posing as a strong man.


    When the situation creates heroes, Audridge believes that Van Gaal''s great success in Ajax has a special background factor.


    The Ajax he led was still before the Bosman rule. The club¡¯s absolute authority over the players allowed him to firmly control a large number of geniuses. When the players were in a weak position, they did not dare to make mistakes. Fate is from.


    Therefore, Van Gaal can perfectly implement his ideal tactical concept by the players.


    However, in the post-Bosman rule era, the stars are becoming more and more popular, and his stubborn management model is difficult to unblock.


    In this era, Barcelona controlled by Van Gaal did indeed suppress Real Madrid in the league, but Aldrich believes that it is not Barcelona that has become stronger, but Real Madrid self-destructing the Great Wall.


    This season La Liga has entered a new era of 20 teams. Although Real Madrid played four games less than last season, their points are nearly 30 points less than when Capello coached! Even subtracting 12 points in four games, it is more than 15 points less than last season!


    In the context of Barcelona''s direct competition overwhelming Real Madrid, Barcelona is still the top six teams in La Liga with the most losses in the stadium, and it is also the fourth team among the 20 teams to concede the fourth goal! It can be seen how bad their defense is.


    This kind of badness stems from the fact that the defensive line caused by the oppressive play is too large. Once the mad attack can''t suppress the scene, it will be defeated by the opponent''s backhand.


    As for the 3331 tactics talked about by fans, it is just a digital game. The essence of the change is still in the role change of the same player between the midfielder and the defender. Once the player cannot complete the role change, The fragile line of defense is even more vulnerable.


    This oppressive play requires a high level of teamwork, so Ajax once reached the top of Europe after a few years of running-in, and still advanced to the final the next year to defeat Juventus.


    Afterwards, the third dream Barcelona was deeply influenced by Dutch football, but only when a group of players who have played together for several years or even more than ten years together can the tactical effect be maximized.


    Once this tactic meets the top teams when it is immature, it will encounter unprecedented difficulties. Van Gaal''s European performance in coaching Barcelona is the best proof.


    However, offensive football is the most marketable, so fans like Barcelona.


    Today''s game, Aldridge will not give the opponent a better look than who plays.


    Barcelona can take away the glorious praise, Millwall only wants to take away three points.

 Chapter 275： humiliation

    Barcelona fell behind by two goals, Van Gaal did not make any adjustments, the team''s offense still looks like a storm, but it has been dry and thundering without rain.


    The players in Barcelona are getting deeper and deeper, and the more they play, the weaker their offense is. There is no way to break the goal.


    Millwall''s defensive players cut the opponent''s formation in an orderly manner in the backcourt. Once the ball enters the dangerous zone, it will sound an alarm, sometimes at the cost of fouling to obstruct the opponent''s attack.


    Several of the team''s top positioning players also played abnormally in front of the free kick, with two consecutive free kicks on the stands.


    Aldridge supervised the battle on the sidelines, and suddenly a complex emotion rose in his heart.


    Now in this scene, I don''t know if it is the sadness of Dutch football.


    Thoughts fluttered around my head, and I unconsciously thought of the semifinals of the European Cup three years later in history, the match between the Netherlands and Italy.


    The Italian team, who was sent off in the first half, had very few opportunities. The Dutch team attacked the Italian team and bombarded the Italian team. Two penalties were not penalized in regular time, and three of the four penalties were not penalized Progress, and eventually eliminated by the Italian penalty shootout.


    That game made San Toldo, who only allowed one in the face of six penalties.


    It was an unforgettable victory for all Italian fans.


    But, in turn, how much damage did that game do to Dutch fans? How much harm do fans of all over the world who like gorgeous offensive football have?


    Dutch football has won the hearts of fans around the world, but it always fell on the greenery, a well-deserved uncrowned king.


    Aldrich shook his head, trying not to think about it as much as possible. He was afraid that he would also become idealized. Gorgeous is indeed a compliment, but he can''t make the score change invisible.


    The contest between the top teams, who want to win the game and want to play magnificently, is a state of luxury and unreachability.


    In the first half of injury and stoppage time, Barcelona strived to rewrite the score and overwhelmed the whole line, which made their back line full of holes when facing back.


    The biggest problem for Barcelona today is that the midfield interception is not enough.


    Guardiola alone wants to kill Millwall''s quick counterattack after being transferred from the defense, that is too small to look at Millwall.


    Giovanni, Rivaldo, Enrique, Figo, Anderson, among these people in the frontcourt, only Enrique contributed the most to the defense, but unfortunately he was placed on the side, and the defensive space is limited.


    Schneider made a short pass to Barak, who swiftly passed the ball behind Giovanni''s symbolic counter-robbing time. Nedved took the ball back to the plugged Makelele, and the French will then The ball is handed over to Larson in front.


    The sights of the Barcelona generals shifted with the ball, and suddenly saw the location of Larson, making them scalp numb.


    How did he get to the center position?


    Larson was holding the ball on his back, and Cotto was standing behind him, but Fanny started running forward at three meters beside Larson. Cotto chose to give up Larson and stare at the guard to avoid being beaten. Behind the ball.


    So Larsson easily turned around to attack head-on, he drove the ball forward, and the Barcelona back line began to retreat nonstop.


    Shevchenko once again cut the middle from the side. At that moment, Larsen also brought the ball to the penalty area. Everyone in Barcelona thought Larsen would pass to Fanny or Shevchenko.


    However, the Swedes broke through the entire line of defense while the center of the opponent''s guards moved, and easily pushed the goal dead end in the guards'' regretful eyes, expanding the score to 3:0!


    "0:3! 0:3! Is there still a chance for Barcelona? Is there any? Larsen has basically declared the death penalty for Barcelona. With Barcelona losing two home games, they are almost impossible in the group. The team is out of the box, the first name of the group is extravagant hope, and the second group is promising, but they certainly cannot become the top two of the six groups with the best results."


    With the goal scored, the game ended in the first half.


    Larson became the focus of the lens. He and Shevchenko, who scored twice in the first half, were the key players in rewriting the game in the first half of the Camp Nou.


    Camp Nou''s huge booing, I don''t know if it was directed against Aldridge.


    In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Aldrich chose to sit on the coach''s seat, his expression was still slightly grim, as if he was born unsmiling.


    Millwall''s bench players were warming up.


    Barcelona''s offensive was still fierce in the second half, but they still couldn''t find the password to break the goal.


    When the game came to the 60th minute, Millwall made a substitution.


    In the shocked eyes of the fans, Shevchenko and Larson, the two goals were replaced by Aldridge.


    It was replaced by 19-year-old Lampard and Gattuso who is about to turn 20.


    Millwall changed 4321, added a Gattuso in the midfield, Nedved and Lampard played double midfielders, and Fanny was still a single arrow.


    Barcelona fans kept shaking their heads in the stands.


    This is humiliation!


    This is humiliation!


    This **** is naked humiliation!


    Aldridge stepped forward to shake hands with the two players who were replaced when he replaced the player.


    "Save energy, the season has just begun."


    Aldridge concisely expressed the purpose of substitution to the two players.


    Larson understood that his attendance rate was very high last season, but in the end he was injured. At his age, he understood the importance of protecting his body.


    Shevchenko was a little depressed. He felt that he could still score goals and stage a hat-trick or something.


    But Larson didn''t complain, and he didn''t dare to complain.


    The two celebrated with each coach high-five, then sat down and chatted with a smile.


    Gattuso, who had just played, fouled Figo defensively and received a yellow card.


    There are a lot of experienced players in Barcelona. Of course, they will seize the opportunity of Millwall''s substitution substitution to change the most vulnerable part of the opponent.


    But this time, Gattuso quickly entered the game feeling. On one-on-one defense, he relied on hard work and hard work. The technical link cannot be said to be weak, only to say that there is a gap with the top, so he will use the team Consciousness to make up, in this regard, under the adjustment of Audridge, he did very well.


    Barcelona''s mad attack is still not over, but their back defense is frequently urgent.


    After removing two forwards who were originally in the wing, Millwall''s offense was more direct. From the defense to the attack, he cooperated with the forward after a small range in the middle of the road. The counterattack relied on three people.


    After two consecutive pass errors, Lampard sent an exquisite over-the-top pass, Nedvide rushed to the front like a striker and succeeded in an offside offense.


    In front of the goal, when Baia came out to block the angle of his shot, Nedved crossed the ball, and the follower Fanny sent the ball into the empty goal. Barcelona didn''t even have a back guard!


    "The Spanish giant Barcelona seems to have surrendered. They have no way to face the opponent''s sharp and deadly quick counterattack. Van Gaal''s tactical system has not worked today. There is no way to attack, and the defense is easily penetrated by the opponent. Maybe Van Gaal Should put down the shelf of the champion coach, carefully understand the characteristics of Millwall players, Larson, Shevchenko, Nedved, these are players with very obvious speed characteristics, Barcelona''s backcourt is so big, the defender Facing the opponent''s forward sprint, can you stop it except fouls?"


    Van Gaal is still in a state where Tarzan collapsed without changing his face, and Aldridge continues to make substitutions.


    Glenn Charles went on and replaced Fanny who had just scored.


    Fanny was very happy today. He had an assist at Camp Nou and a goal.


    When Trezeguet was injured, he felt he could challenge the main position with this bench.


    In the first team, things like Ronaldinho and Aldridge¡¯s Fanny is too "selfish and overbearing" will not happen. The reason is simple. Fanny plays in the reserve team, he is the protagonist, in the first team, he is Supporting role, if you want to become the protagonist, then do the supporting role first.


    At this point, Fanny is still very clear in his heart.


    After changing to Glenchard, Millwall has no center for Indians. If Glengard is seen as a full-back, Millwall doesn''t even have a forward.


    Barcelona fans only acted as Millwall humiliated them.


    Aldridge is too much, and the killing is not too much, he does not leave the last dignity to Barcelona!


    Replace the heroes of the goals and let a group of Maotou fight against the La Liga giants.


    If everyone on Barcelona''s coaching staff thinks this is Millwall''s humiliation, then Audridge will be happy.


    Because of this, the other party will lose further reason, and lack of calm thinking, unable to recognize the reality.


    Barcelona can''t reverse the result of the game, but, for the sake of face, should they always score a goal at home?


    Should I get one?


    At home, Dynamo Kiev didn''t score a goal, but now, the score gap is even greater, or the goal is not scored, what is the face!


    As a result, Barcelona''s front is still very high, and the offensive system has long collapsed. Anyway, it is to accumulate the number of attackers forward, and it seems that it will use wheel wars to crush Millwall''s defense.


    Seeing the situation on the court develop like this, Aldridge was determined.


    The game has become simpler.


    Zambrotta made a big save, and Glencharr, who started from the center line, did not give Abelado a chance to pull him down, killing himself forward.


    Aldridge''s substitutions were really not to humiliate each other. They replaced Lampard and Gattuso, one to strengthen the defense, one to completely release Nedved, and the reason for replacing Glenchard is simpler.


    The Danish Golden Wings are much faster than Fanny!


    Baia stepped out of the door, and Glennshire came to meet him when he was about to meet the opponent outside the penalty area.


    Camp Nou¡¯s home fans couldn¡¯t bear to watch it anymore. The lightly leaping ball traversed the beautiful and unpredictable trajectory in the sky, apparently heading towards the empty goal of Barcelona.


    when!


    Glennshire stunned, the ball hit the beam and bounced back.


    Baia turned around and went back to chase, Glennshire was preparing to celebrate, but he didn''t expect the ball to go in. He would definitely not be able to catch up with Baia again.


    However, some people never give up on the court. Nedved almost went side by side while Baia turned back and chased. When Baia speeded up, Nedved had already led him by one position, and then welcomed The ball that bounced back was shot with confidence, and then the ball flew back and went straight into the net nest!


    "0:5! The only suspense left in the game is whether Barcelona can score a goal at home? The final result of this game will definitely arouse the reflection of Barcelona''s top management. For the giants of their level, not only to win The ball must also be beautiful, but when they can¡¯t win, what good is it to play beautifully? Dynamo Kiev, Millwall, these are opponents they do not pay attention to, but Barcelona are at home Even if they don¡¯t even score a goal, they play gorgeously, which is indisputable, but they are the loser and the loser.¡±


    After scoring a goal, Nedvide went back and hugged Grenchar, who stood on the spot with a wry smile, kissed him on the head, the two walked back with their shoulders, and the other Millwall players ran directly There were fewer than two thousand visitors fans celebrating wildly near the stands!


    In the last few minutes of the game, Barcelona had no desire to attack.


    Anyway, the offense has no effect. Instead, it will be counterattacked by the opponent. They will pass the time and then urge the referee to end the game early.


    At the time of injury stoppage time, on the visiting team''s coach''s bench, Aldridge stood up indifferently, stepping into the player''s passage steadily with his hands in his coat pockets.


    All the fans who have watched this game remember that this seemingly honorable young coach, people have an illusion: instead of van Gaal despising Aldridge, it is better to say that Aldridge does not want to compete with Van Gal is generally knowledgeable and even disdains shaking hands with each other.

 Chapter 276： Golden ball

    The atmosphere of the press conference was strange after the game.


    Aldridge sat indifferently on the stage, waiting for reporters to ask questions.


    Media outside Catalonia are waiting, waiting for Audric to counter Catalan media.


    The game itself has no hot topic to ask any questions.


    In other words, Millwall¡¯s 5:0 away massacre in Barcelona was originally a shocking news, and there is a market for everything.


    Time passed by one minute and one second, the scene was silent, and those Catalan media reporters did not take the initiative to ask questions, which must be a shame.


    Seeing this, the other reporters were unhappy, so they began to fan the flames.


    "The game is now over, Mr. Hall, what do you want to say to Van Gaal?"


    Aldridge sipped his lips and said softly: "No, I don''t know him. In view of his previous remarks, I don''t want to discuss anything related to him."


    ...


    During this trip to Barcelona, ??Aldridge felt a bit indifferent from before to after the game.


    Van Gaal didn''t seem to care about Millwall and his belittle.


    He just feels that he can''t make a villain''s face, and he won''t be mad if he wins the ball.


    Now it is rampant, and one day it will be repaid.


    He is not the coach of Mourinho who has a grudge against Barcelona. He will meet Barcelona two or three times if he is unlucky throughout the year.


    After scoring three points away from Barcelona, ??Odric left Barcelona behind for the second time two weeks later.


    He led his team back to London. As soon as he got off the plane, Aldridge took a car alone to a high-end restaurant, and saw a lot of people waiting for him in the box.


    Andrew took two assistants, Yiwen and Adam, and Puma''s sponsor representatives.


    They are here to discuss important matters.


    Voting for the Golden Globes is still half a month away.


    Although this award is used to judge the performance of players in the past season, the performance of the players in the first half of the new season has a great influence on the vote. This is a problem of impression. After a summer, the players who were more eye-catching last season, the heat has also faded. Players who have performed well in recent seasons are more likely to affect the judges'' judgment.


    So this time, clubs, agents, and sponsors must work together to help players hit the Golden Globe Awards!


    The Millwall club is sure to be shortlisted by two players, Larson and Nedved.


    Nedved was actually shortlisted for the final selection of the Golden Globes last year, but the score was single digits. The Premier League runner-up and the European Cup runner-up only let him go around the Golden Globes, and his compatriot Poboski was shortlisted. The top ten.


    Sweden didn''t make it to the England European Cup in the competition year, leaving Larson out of last year''s list.


    But this year is different. There are no big competitions this year. The Confederations Cup is a training stage and its influence is extremely low.


    However, the competition is still very difficult.


    The biggest competitor is naturally the alien Ronaldo who was in full swing in Barcelona last season. In the club''s honor book, only the Spanish King''s Cup. In the national team honor, he also has the America''s Cup champion in the summer of 1997.


    The good news is that the America¡¯s Cup is another continent.


    Who is Larson and Nedved?


    Aldrich didn''t want to participate, but if he didn''t participate in this kind of momentum, maybe neither of the two disciples would have the opportunity to reach the summit.


    Last year''s European shooter king was Larson''s biggest weight.


    In the forthcoming full-blown propaganda campaign, Larson''s season data, annual data, club honors, and personal honors will all be powerful weapons that impact the judges'' judgment.


    After six hours of talks, representatives of all parties left the hotel one after another, and everyone started their tacit actions in accordance with their duties.


    Sponsor Puma is not only a partner of Millwall, but also intends to maintain a long-term cooperative relationship with Millwall. At the same time, many stars in the Millwall team are their brand spokespersons.


    Larson endorsed the Phantom of the Shoe, and the promotional film began to be broadcast on TV stations in various European countries.


    The cooperation advertisement of Millwall and Armani also landed on the billboards in the landmark squares of major European cities. The young and strong Millwall "male model" team set off a wave of fashion.


    The club propaganda department led by Yiwen puts elaborate Larson performance highlights on the Internet. As long as football-related websites are used throughout Europe, these videos occupy popular positions.


    Larsson played Millwall for three and a half years, and the total number of goals in various events has become the first in club history.


    Sometimes looking at one goal alone and two goals, you don¡¯t think how great a striker is.


    But the goal highlights have the most shocking visual impact.


    Ewen spent a lot of money to find the team to produce the best video highlights, a total of four.


    The first is the All Goals Collection, which records Larson¡¯s more than 150 club and national team goals in the past three and a half years.


    The second is the highlights of assists. In order to show his comprehensiveness, his clever assists as a forward are also presented, which is bound to give people a greater impact.


    The third is the highlights of the key battles. This video summarizes the key goals of Larsson in the most crucial games of the Millwall Premier League last season, helping Millwall to climb the Premier League throne in an unstoppable manner. In the finals, the European Cup Winners Cup finals, he all scored goals, which made his performance in key competitions soaring! This video is also targeted, especially in the European Cup Winners'' Cup final, Ronaldo became the background.


    The fourth video is a bit like a textbook, telling the world how Larson can break the door.


    Grab points, long shots, headers, left foot, right foot, volley, volley, regular movements, irregular movements, all his past movements of breaking the door in different ways are presented. This is like a breaking textbook .


    As an agent, Andrew also became active, meeting with senior leaders of mainstream newspapers on Fleet Street, and communicating privately with the leaders of the TV station. Not only did these videos be promoted on TV, but also began to build momentum for Larson from different aspects such as newspapers and football programs. .


    Nor do they require them to sing hymns for Larson, as long as they discuss Larson''s performance and allow Larson to maintain higher exposure, then it is a help.


    The Millwall Club itself was calm, Aldridge said easily in an interview with reporters: "Larsen, Nedved, Makelele, Shevchenko, Trezeguet, Southgate ...Uh, sorry, I think my players are eligible to be selected for the Golden Globes, who will win? Who will be in the top ten? In fairness, can help clubs like Millwall from the second level in just three years The league became a top-level league champion and won honors in the European arena. My players are all amazing. They may not be well-known, but considering their achievements, I think many of them are qualified for the Golden Ball Top ten prizes."


    British media will inevitably focus on the Golden Globe Awards. Last year, Hiller was the third in the Golden Globe Awards. This year, the local players in England did not have the best players to compete for. Second, they naturally hope that players from the English club will win.


    Millwall players naturally became popular.


    Larson has also become the most popular player.


    Premier League champions, FA Cup champions, European Winners Cup champions, Premier League top scorers, Europe top scorers, helped Millwall to create a new five-game winning streak record, Larson''s name has already become golden.


    In mid-November, just before the deadline for voting for the Golden Globes, Millwall ushered in the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage against Barcelona, ??who played against him two weeks ago.


    In this sensitive period of the Golden Globes selection, Barcelona was very depressed.


    Only two of them can compete for the Golden Globe, Figo and Enrique.


    Another favourite for the Golden Globes was Barcelona, ??but now he belongs to Inter Milan.


    Moreover, according to the situation of Barcelona in the group stage, they have no energy to participate in the alloy ball award.


    Two losses and one tie in the group stage, is there any hope of qualifying?


    Yes, a little bit.


    Before this game, Van Gaal was visiting London and experienced the horror of Fleet Street.


    At the press conference before the game, although Van Gaal said that Barcelona still has the hope of promotion, as long as he defeated Millwall, what will happen in the last two rounds of the group stage, only God knows.


    Fleet Street is ridiculous and ironic, reiterating the old words, and taking out Van Gaal''s remarks half a month ago.


    "Mr. Van Gaal, English football may not be as strong as you think, and there is nothing to be proud of in the team that has succeeded in the Premier League, but in the Camp Nou, you led Barcelona to set a very embarrassing record of losing, you Do you still stick to the previous point?"


    "I don''t want to discuss topics not related to this game."


    "Oh, it''s really funny. You made a lot of remarks that have nothing to do with the game half a month ago, but today you have changed your tone?"


    "Millwall''s victory is ugly. They will only shrink to defend at halftime. In addition to a quick counterattack or a quick counterattack, they just stole a big victory, nothing more!"


    Van Gaal is still an arrogant van Gaal. Even if he loses his face, he still refuses to accept his words.


    When the two teams met at Wembley, Aldridge was exactly the same as he was half a month ago.


    Instead of shaking hands with each other, he stood on the sidelines and supervised the war.


    His mood is not good or not. In the past half month, Millwall has tied and won in the Premier League. His state has remained good. Manchester United have won and lost, and the gap between the two teams has narrowed by one point.


    Although at this time last year, Millwall had led the second place by more than 10 points, but this year it was one point behind Manchester United.


    But the outside world still highly praised Millwall.


    The team''s record is most afraid of horizontal comparison.


    Millwall played the league last year with no distractions. He had a huge lead in the second half of the season. He freed up his energy to share some energy in the FA Cup and the European Cup Winners'' Cup, and finally won the championship.


    The Manchester United rookies, as defending champions last season, were the first time to play in the Champions League as the main force. They were not qualified to play the previous season.


    At that time, Manchester United in the European war and the league double-line battle, almost collapsed across the board, the UEFA Champions League group stage was difficult to advance, and the league also hit a losing streak, many records were wiped out, and the fall of the Manchester United dynasty was very loud.


    Millwall not only played in the Champions League for the first time this year, but also played for the first time in club history. Under the influence of double-line combat, Millwall not only did not leave the league, but the prospect of the Champions League promotion is very bright .


    Being able to hit this share is enough to make the outside world''s evaluation of Millwall go further.


    The Wembley Stadium was full.


    The match between Millwall and Barcelona is a rare high-end enjoyment for fans.


    The fans of the crazy lions came to Wembley with a relaxed mind. The supporting team group should have no suspense. Today, I want to see what Barcelona has against the aura of giants.


    We were instilled five at home and came to Wembley. Isn''t that just the surrender of raising our hands? !

 Chapter 277： Score a goal

    Although a football game is a competitive sport in which two teams fight for victory in 90 minutes, if one side does not even have a retreat for a draw, then this is obviously disadvantageous.


    In the UEFA Champions League group stage, Aldridge''s first three rounds of the game have put a lot of energy into each game, because once the loss is lost, the situation will immediately turn sharply.


    Fortunately, Millwall won three games and Barcelona won three games. Now, the fool knows that Barcelona is in a situation where they have to win.


    In this way, whether it is from the team''s mentality or the head coach''s formation, Millwall can be more leisurely than the opponent.


    In addition to Van Gaal injecting an offensive football factor into this team, Barcelona will not attack, even on the road, but also to attack aggressively.


    Wembley attracted a lot of attention. The players of the two sides began to shake hands on the court. Barcelona''s starting lineup was no different from two weeks ago.


    Millwall changed his midfield, and Pirlo, who recovered from injury, ushered in the Champions League debut today.


    In the new season, Barak has played successively and reached the peak of a fiery state. In the league ten days ago, he showed a downturn after Zen exhaustion, which directly led Millwall to the midfield organization of that league. Chaos and frequent mistakes resulted in a draw.


    Fortunately, Pirlo recovered from injury at the right time. In the last round of the league, he only played 70 minutes and showed a good competitive state. He helped Millwall to lock in the win early. He was holding back to this Champions League game. Enthusiasm.


    How can I lose Pirlo when I play Barcelona?


    Without me Pirlo, Millwall''s offense reduced at least 20% of its power!


    Now Pirlo is so confident. Odri? helped him to the top two years ago. Although he did not play as many times as Barack, but he has a higher tactical position in the team. Everyone knows that in the team In the role of "brain", Pirlo sat firmly in the top spot.


    When the pre-match ceremony ended, the two teams opened and a loud voice rang from the stands.


    "Milwall, rush!"


    The fans'' pre-match singing was also over, and finally turned into a roar in unison, inspiring the team''s fighting spirit, and also making the visiting team feel great pressure.


    "At the whistle of the referee, the game officially started. Millwall took the lead. When Van Nistelrooy passed the ball back to Pirlo, Millwall''s formation quickly pushed forward. It looks like they are It¡¯s going to be a blitz!"


    Barcelona must score and must win!


    They thought Millwall would play a conservative defensive counterattack as he did last time.


    There is basically nothing wrong with this.


    Under normal circumstances, Millwall has 9 points in hand, and can guess that the opponent will attack wildly, and the contraction of the defense line to fight back can play their speed advantage.


    As a result, Barcelona players immediately fought for the ball after the start of the game, and did not pay attention to the defensive formation. Most of them thought that Millwall even if the ball was forward, it was only a small cooperation between the two.


    This is a directional mistake they made while preparing for the game, and the consequences were disastrous!


    Pirlo controlled the ball by cooperating with the wing players, the full-backs quickly inserted assists, the ball passed between three passes, and Millwall''s formation quickly moved forward.


    Only eighteen seconds after the kick-off, Pirlo passed to the front of the Barcelona penalty area in the running position. All the opponents who grabbed the ball were left behind by him, Guardiola staring at the back waist position Nedved, however, was surprised to find that Pirlo had actually attacked the front of the penalty area, which made him annoyed.


    After the start of the match, the forward players pressed up. After the midfielder failed to intercept, there was no large-scale retreat to follow up. What is this for? !


    Guardiola abandoned Nedved to mark Pirlo. The latter easily took a side pass. Sergey pressed against Shevchenko, the ball passed over the two of them, and Schneider killed from behind. At the same time, Nedv¨§d and Shevchenko ran forward to move forward, and Fanny moved to the left and back to meet at the latter point. Only these three men mixed up Barcelona''s defenses.


    Schneider caught the ball and swept directly in front of the door. Larson, who was killed from behind Fanny, blocked the ball with his feet like a ghost, and the ball was shot obliquely into the net nest.


    "In the first half minute, Millwall scored! Larson! Golden Globe contender Larson! He scored again! He was running and pointing his finger at the sky. I can imagine how happy he is in such a team. He is the happiest in scoring goals! Oh, Schneider hugged him, Larson knelt on one knee and motioned to do a shoe-shine celebration for Schneider, the super shooter knew very well, His excellence is also derived from the excellence of his teammates! Van Gaal has always emphasized the ugliness of Millwall¡¯s play, but Hall has shown the world to Millwall¡¯s unique style. They will not rigidly play only one type of football. They can use different tactics flexibly. When they want to play beautiful football, which team can play better than them?"


    Barcelona has a terrible start!


    Their determination to make a comeback before the game was immediately hit hard.


    Van Gaal still sits still on the coach seat, but his expression looks far less calm and calm than half a month ago, more like a kind of numbness and death.


    How strong is Barcelona after he entered the club early this season? !


    In the first nine rounds of the league, they scored 8 wins and 1 draw. Just before playing against Millwall half a month ago, they even played Real Madrid in the Bernabeu away!


    But after playing against Millwall half a month ago, the 0:5 defeat at home suddenly made this team break up the invincible momentum, losing for two consecutive rounds, and the state suddenly had the performance of the first nine rounds. huge difference.


    Today the game again predicted the situation incorrectly. As soon as it came up, it was hit head-on, and Barcelona lost everything.


    Aldridge stood on the sidelines and applauded the team with a smile.


    He rarely celebrates frantically now, really rarely, but the handsome young man standing on the sidelines is a chic landscape, and he is still the focus of TV cameras.


    Especially in such games, the less he celebrates, it seems to be silently declared: playing Barcelona, ??Laozi''s team scores for granted, need to be particularly excited?


    In Wembley, Millwall did not have the ultimate home advantage, so he must not lose control of the game. This is the case when playing Eindhoven. In Barcelona, ??it is possible to fight against the road. In Wembley, it is not impossible. , Is not necessary.


    In terms of control of the game, Millwall¡¯s overall ability to pass and control the ball is definitely better than Barcelona. Just like half a year ago, Millwall is definitely not as good as the opponent¡¯s reputation and personal ability, but on the team¡¯s chemical reaction, Millwall It must be better.


    The outside world can''t figure out what kind of style Millwall is, is it synonymous with playing offensive football? Unlike, at least the first three Champions League games, they did not show the shadow of excessive offensive football.


    In Aldrich''s opinion, over-emphasis on style is not conducive to the team.


    For a strong team, it is only the rarest ones that can reach the peak, and this kind of team with obvious style is also difficult to continue its glory. Only a team that can keep pace with the times and be flexible and changeable from time to time can be sustained. brilliant.


    He believes that there are many teams that fall into "style constraints". For example, Arsenal ten years later, Wenger overemphasized beautiful football, but he has forgotten what kind of football Arsenal started in his own hands in this era. Yes, Cruyff¡¯s dream one Barcelona completely collapsed when he became obsessed with beautiful football.


    It is not uncommon for a team to stick to a style and eventually succeed, but the cycle time of this success is too long, and the continuation after the glory becomes extremely difficult.


    What other coaches have to pursue, Aldridge can¡¯t control it, and don¡¯t comment on it.


    However, he does not have the great ideals of an open school. He just wants to make the team successful and continuous success, reducing the period between the peak and the trough to the shortest. Therefore, his team must inevitably diversify in style and cannot go. The ultimate route, using the best talents, the most suitable tactics, to steer the team from person to person.


    He did not mind the criticism of Millwall as an athletic team, nor did he mind being ugly for winning with a defensive counterattack on the road.


    He got the victory, the victory and defeat were clear at a glance, what others love to say, he really does not mind, living under the influence of other people''s public opinion, it is estimated that he will not be happy for a minute in his life.


    Barcelona didn''t recover quickly after conceding the ball. They became handicapped, afraid of losing the ball and wanting to equalize the score.


    This mentality makes their front and back field disconnected, and the midfielder is completely passive!


    In the eleventh minute, Guardiola couldn''t find a spot in the midfield, so he risked a straight shot and wanted to use a scalpel-like pass to tear Millwall''s defense straight from the midfield and backcourt. .


    This is too despising!


    Makelele refused to give Guardiola an opportunity to score a straight assist. He accurately intercepted the ball and passed it to the foot of Shevchenko. The Ukrainian drew the ball horizontally and knocked back to the inserted Pirlo. The Italian handsome guy hid Kai Giovanni''s snatch, and then used a scalpel-like plug to return to Barcelona.


    The ball passed between Abelardo and Sergei. Nedved unexpectedly scored into the opponent''s defense ribs. After receiving the ball, he turned a half and turned to find the back point.


    The ball flew to the back post. At a small angle, Larsson rushed to the horse. After jumping high, he easily pushed the ball into the gate guarded by Baia.


    "Larsen scored twice and he responded to Nedvide''s passing header and broke the goal! Millwall is the rhythm of crazy, Barcelona is like losing his soul, the defense line is full of loopholes! It is also strange that before the encounter with Millwall, Barcelona''s defense was criticized, but their number of goals conceded was only close to one goal. Since they were bloodbathed by Millwall five goals half a month ago, they have played in recent games Averaged more than 2.5 goals per game, and the defense line seemed to be vulnerable to a blow!"


    Teammates rushed to Larson to congratulate him on his goal. At this critical moment of the Golden Globes selection, Larson and Nedved are in good shape, which is very important for their rankings, like Barcelona. Their opponents also show how good their abilities are.


    The Barcelona generals were completely awakened after losing the ball.


    They are free!


    Yeah, what are the psychological burdens of two goals behind?


    Don''t think about whether you can win the favor of the goddess of luck after defeating your opponent, forget the meaning of the points behind the game, and forget whether the group stage can qualify.


    Play the rest of the game purely!


    The status of Barcelona is a bit strange. At 0:0, 1:0, they felt they would not play football, and morale fell to the bottom.


    But after 2:0, they cheered up, and from their offensive, they couldn''t see the kind of momentum that was going to fight back.


    On the contrary, they seem to start playing normally in a tie.

 Chapter 278： Sparks offensive football

    When Barcelona completely relieved the burden, not only did the performance become normal at once, but it also surpassed the normal level.


    Barcelona will control the rhythm, will oppress the ups and downs, but will not keep the formation to shrink and play. Therefore, when Millwall is also a pair of players who want to dominate the game and press the momentum, the two teams meet. Sparkle.


    From the fifteenth minute of the game, the audience on the scene seemed to have completely entered another world.


    The players on both sides of the field are competing against each other, and the fast pace is unimaginable. It seems that even the camera can''t keep up, and the commentator has no time to drink.


    The ball rolls back and forth, and the ball will change its ownership several times in a short period of time. At a high level of play, it will capture the opponent''s defensive loopholes and give a fatal blow. On average, the two teams will make a threat ball every minute, which directly makes the game Be thrilling!


    In the 28th minute, Anderson did not choose to force a header after receiving a pass from Figo, but instead made the ball to the inserted Rivaldo.


    In the narrow air in front of the small penalty area line, Rivaldo rushed forward to stop the ball and broke through the defensive line between Elgra and Schneider. Then he waited for the ball to land, and the left foot pushed the ball. Bout rolled over between his legs when he went out to meet!


    Rivaldo broke through Bout''s door, and scored a goal for Barcelona!


    Eight minutes later, Nedved accelerated to break out of Guardiola and hit a cold arrow, a long shot was shot by Baia Canghuang, but the blocked ball landed in front of Larsson near the top corner of the big penalty area , The Swede greeted the rebounded ball, kicked a four-seater volley and hit the ball into the gate of Barcelona!


    3:1!


    Millwall not only quickly opened the score gap, but Larson also staged a hat trick!


    In the first half stoppage time, Pirlo fouled before the penalty area. Barcelona took a free kick. Figo took a free kick to deceive everyone. Instead of shooting, he knocked the ball horizontally and then inserted Guardio La also used a world wave to penetrate the gate guarded by Bout and gave a strong counterattack!


    3: 2!


    Both parties walked back to the dressing room.


    In the second half, the two sides changed sides and the two teams continued to fight. None of them took the initiative to retreat, or chose to conservatively control the pace of the game.


    Just at the beginning of the second half, Figo combined practicality and speed on the wing. In the first three defeats of Schneider, he succeeded this time and sent a foot second to the cross. ball.


    Elgra made a misjudgement, and after the top, Anderson between him and Southgate headed the ball from close range, but Bout was unable to return to the sky!


    3:3!


    Go crazy! Completely crazy!


    Both teams have entered a crazy state.


    Barcelona saw hope of reversal, and Millwall ushered in a huge test after being equalized.


    The players looked at Aldridge, but they saw the young handsome smile and gave a thumbs-up gesture to Barcelona''s half.


    At this moment, you can''t retreat, you can''t be conservative, and you can''t suffer gains or losses.


    The players also quickly recovered from the ball-losing blow, igniting a higher spirit of fighting.


    Such a game is not only the most advanced enjoyment by fans, but also the stage that players dream of.


    Not afraid of the strong, the stronger the opponent, the stronger the sense of accomplishment over the opponent!


    When Barcelona continued to attack, Millwall showed a calm and calm side, withstood the pressure, and quickly gained the advantage again.


    Pirlo made a good pass on the left rib. Larson was under a key guard and deliberately missed the ball. The ball rolled unbelievably under Reziger¡¯s eyes and assisted Zambrotta to keep the ball high. After the mass pass, the ball was sent to the back point. The Ukrainian nuclear warhead rushed to the top. The ball was blocked by Baia, but Van Nistelrooy caught two points and made the shot to the goal.


    4:3!


    The roar of the king of the small penalty area did not defeat Barcelona.


    Since then, the game is still full of passion, but because the two teams are more precise in defending the key points, there is not a slight loophole, and the goal battle seems to be in a deadlock.


    In the last ten minutes of the game, Barcelona completely entered the rhythm of breaking the wreck and madly pressed the attack. Five minutes before the end of the game, Millwall''s fatal counterattack completely ended the suspense.


    The steel giant Nedved''s physical advantage at the last moment is very obvious, and the speed rushed to the front without any delay. After playing a role in Larsson''s counterattack, Nedved won a one-on-one ball and Baia one-on-one .


    Nedved sent the ball into Barcelona''s gate with a vigorous volley and scored the last goal of the match.


    5:3!


    Although Millwall is not a dominant game, but in such a passionate game, they showed more outstanding qualities, and finally laughed to the end.


    At the end of the match whistle, Wembley thundered with applause.


    The applause of the fans not only gave Millwall but also Barcelona.


    After witnessing the whole process of this game, many old fans of the crazy lion couldn''t help but think of Millwall''s first game in the Premier League. That game has been played by fans to Manchester United to 5:5.


    As for Millwall''s 0:6 blood-washing of Manchester United last season, it is completely inferior to 5:5 and today''s 5:3 from an aesthetic point of view.


    Obviously, the fans are also judgmental. Manchester United, who suffered a slaughter last season, has an uneven lineup and low morale. It is also a tired teacher. Despite Millwall¡¯s win, Manchester United has no power to fight back. Such a game can''t fully reflect the fierce and exciting football game.


    Just like a boxing match, you come to see me.


    Today''s 5:3 is more appreciative in terms of sensory quality than the 5:5 that fought with Manchester United.


    Because Millwall is stronger than before, the team is more mature, and the style of play is more abundant. Even though Barcelona today has a sluggish performance in the European War, it is more powerful than that of Manchester United.


    Wembley, England''s greatest stadium, was born here today as a great game, becoming one of the classics in the history of Millwall''s confrontation with Barcelona.


    Barcelona won only one point in the fourth round of the group stage, and was definitely out of the game. Millwall won in four games. In the case of Dynamo Kiev ranked second in the group with 6 points, as long as Millwall does not lose to Kiev Di in the next game. Namo will also lock in the precious places for the team to qualify.


    The players of the two teams exchanged jerseys with each other after the game. After such a hearty battle, the stars in the two teams inevitably regret each other.


    Larson and Rivaldo exchanged jerseys, Nedved and Figo, Pirlo and Guardiola...


    Some are of the same age and are the leading figures in European football in this era, while others are representatives of the new and old generations. For example, one of Guardiola¡¯s "four talents" is the same as a superstar who already has a supernova name. Pirlo.


    Aldridge twisted into the player channel after the game.


    He still didn''t take the initiative to ask Van Gaal to shake hands, because he was not the kind of person who "lost to you, I hate you, and won you and I can be your friend."


    The principle of treating people in the football world will not be affected by the result of the game.


    This ball shocked the fans on the spot, shocked the audience in front of the TV, and even the media was shocked.


    Offensive football is of course the most marketable.


    A team playing offensive football will be sought after.


    The two teams play offensive football and will be compared.


    And when two teams playing offensive football meet, it is that Mars hit the earth!


    Maybe the outside world did not have a high degree of appreciation for the game before the game, thinking that Millwall could easily use the defensive counterattack tactics to win the game. As long as Barcelona lost the ball, it is estimated that it will collapse.


    This is also a disadvantage of the Dutch offensive football.


    However, no one expected that the performance of the two teams in the game was unexpected.


    Millwall is not conservative, Barcelona will not give up after losing the ball, the two teams will perfectly present the offensive football match.


    Too many goals, too many offensive offenses, and so many offensive and defensive key collisions. People will marvel at the exquisite cooperation being strangled, and they will also be turned into a threat by a threat offensive to detonate the passion.


    When Aldridge was sitting on the stage of the press conference, the reporters off the stage seemed to be pondering the game.


    In fact, before the game started, most reporters thought about what to ask after the game.


    Most of them mocked Barcelona''s failure and ridiculed them out.


    However, after witnessing such a game, it is obviously unwise to laugh at Barcelona, ??Barcelona deserves respect.


    No matter how good the drama is, it can''t rely on the protagonist who has the strength, but also has to have a supporting role with a good level.


    So the reporters put away the "dirtyness" in their hearts and turned to ask the topic about the game seriously.


    "Why did Millwall change tactics today? Why didn''t he use the last defensive counterattack against Barcelona?"


    Aldridge looked relaxed and smiled: "The opponent is the same, it is Barcelona, ??but the environment has changed and the situation has changed. The charm of the football game is that the same two teams meet and will not play the same two. In the game, even if the score is the same in the end, the process must be completely different. So, for today¡¯s game, I made choices and judgments during the preparation process and thought that the tactics used in today¡¯s game are the most appropriate."


    "Millwall had two goals in the first half with two goals ahead of him, when they were 2:0 and 3:1. At that time, did you ever think that Barcelona would pull them to 3:3? Make some changes, maybe the suspense of the game will not be completely ended by the goal of Nedved."


    Aldridge sighed and shook his head with a smile: "To be honest, at 2:0, I think Barcelona has surrendered. Next is the performance where Millwall completely ruled the game. But I was wrong. Barcelona is a Admirable and learning opponents, when I think they have no combat power, they broke out the unimaginable combat power at the most difficult time. This is worth learning. I have to admit that the players were in that period of time. There should also be some psychological slack, thinking that the game is over, but Barcelona''s goal woke them up, then, the game continues, the battle continues."


    "Given Van Gaal''s previous comments, do you still praise Barcelona''s performance?"


    "Of course, why not? What Van Gaal said, that is his opinion, and it does not represent a long-established giant like Barcelona. I have no personal grievances with him, Barcelona and Millwall are competitors, the relationship is simple, between us It should not be a hostile relationship, but competition, and fight for the group''s qualifying."


    "Barcelona is completely out, what do you think is the reason?"


    Aldrich said after a moment of contemplation: "It is the reason for the first two games. The first game lost to Dynamo Kyiv made them fall into a total passive. This is also the reason I have always warned players to take all opponents seriously. The reason is that in such a highly competitive group, there are so few qualifying places. The cruel reality makes us unable to treat each opponent lightly, nor can we think that if we don¡¯t play, we will have at least a draw or all three points, no one. It will easily give you victory. Conversely, if you give victory to your opponent, then all subsequent games, mental pressure, tactical choices, etc. will fall into a disadvantage."


    "Milwall should be able to qualify. What are your goals for the journey after the Champions League?"


    "We haven''t determined the qualifying, the goal is simple, go all out to play the next game..."

 Chapter 279： Mr. Golden Ball

    Millwall maintained the victory in the first four rounds of the group stage, scoring 16 goals and only losing 3 goals. This data alone won 24 Champions League teams this season.


    In other teams that are equally unstoppable, Manchester United, Dortmund, Real Madrid and other teams are not as good as this Lion from London.


    It may be expected that the outside world will have good results for the traditional tycoons, but the recruits like Millwall can be proud of the heroes in the death group, and the sensation they create is absolutely shocking.


    The hot state of Larson also leapt into the ranks of top stars.


    In fact, during the annual transfer period, whether in summer or winter, Millwall received the most quotations for Larson. From the name of the buying club, it can reflect the rise of Larson''s level.


    Manchester United has been tirelessly pursuing Larson.


    Outside of England, the Italian first-tier clubs are also pursuing him, but just this summer, AC Milan, Barcelona, ??Inter Milan, Paris Saint-Germain and other names appeared in the buying club. After the war with Barcelona, ??these Real Madrid was added to the name.


    All European giants want Larson, which embodies his value.


    Galliani wants Larsen to wear a red and black shirt to shoulder the heavy responsibility of Milan''s revival. Moratti has the dream of Ronaldo + Larson''s two super forwards with two swords. Sanz invites Larsen to Bernabeu to continue The battle against Barcelona...


    It''s impossible to sell people in winter. This will disrupt the plan for the second half of the season. Aldridge doesn''t know Larson''s idea, but he will not go to the players to talk about it first.


    The feedback from Andrew''s side was positive, and Larsson''s response to the invitation of the giants was relatively flat.


    The Swedish national team missed the European Cup of 96, and the tickets for the 98 World Cup may not be available. Larson knows that his chances of obtaining honor in the national team are slim, and even the chances of appearance in international competitions are scarce. At the golden age of 26 years old, he can only work harder to earn honors in the club to make his achievements even greater.


    Millwall is a team that Aldridge has cultivated for three and a half years, and his strength is on the rise. The future is promising. It is just when the results are about to come out that Larsen has no reason to choose to leave.


    In the misty early morning, it was less than five o''clock. Aldridge had got up and put on his sportswear, with a walkman in his pocket. He planned to listen to music and go jogging for fitness early in the morning.


    As soon as he went out, he found that there was movement in the neighbor''s house. The door was wide open. Yiwen in a pure white sportswear was almost the same as Aldridge''s equipment. She was holding earplugs into her ears. When Aldridge stood at the door, she walked over to smile and asked, "Exercise?"


    Aldrich looked at her up and down. The graceful and graceful figure was beautifully presented in sportswear. The ponytails bundled up showed youthful vitality, but Su Yanchaotian added a natural beauty.


    "Well, exercise. Together?"


    "Go."


    The two jogged along the sidewalk of the block under the dim light, and ran all the way into the nearby park. They chatted casually on the road. When the morning light was bright, the two had breakfast outside, then returned to their homes and said goodbye and turned around. Go to the club to start a new day''s work.


    Even though Aldridge has been hailed by Fleet Street as the legendary young commander of England, his legend is nothing more than an age factor, which has nothing to do with achievements.


    People are looking forward to him playing the myth of green shade, leading the team to create unprecedented glory.


    But he was sane and sane, and he was nothing until he got the honor.


    As time passed, Millwall went hand in hand in the league and the European War.


    In the fifth round of the UEFA Champions League, at Wembley, Millwall played against Dynamo Kyiv. For Dynamo Kyiv, who is 5 points behind Millwall, a draw also means getting out. Hope is also very slim.


    But if they win two victories, the points will reach 12 points, there is hope to fight for the second two teams to advance to the knockout.


    However, in Wembley, Millwall did not give Dynamo Kiev any chance. Aldridge faced the main force and sent away Dynamo Kiev with the same score, 2:0.


    Millwall won all five games, and the points reached 15 points, but also confirmed the top of the group.


    In the final round of the group stage, Eindhoven, the Dutch champion has been eliminated, but it is about the battle of honor. They played extremely unrestrained at home, and Millwall sent a bench to appear.


    After the half-year rehabilitation and recovery, the new aid Good Johnson in the summer transfer can finally enter the game.


    Aldridge sent him on stage in this game with Eindhoven as he wished, and the Icelanders were still grumpy about being swept out of Eindhoven. In this game, Millwall played a defensive counterattack. , Goodjohnson and Van Nistelrooy were double forwards. The scene was awesome, but the score made Eindhoven very depressed.


    2:4.


    Van Nistelrooy and Goodjohnson both scored twice, the latter madly celebrating at home in Eindhoven, as if it was a big feud!


    The UEFA Champions League group stage came to an end. Millwall''s six-game winning streak advanced to the knockout stage, and the 22 ends and 5 goals offensive and defensive performances shocked Europe!


    In other groups, Ann Fat was very depressed. His Palma was planted on the defending champion Dortmund. Dortmund scored 15 points and advanced strongly. The weakness of Palma''s forward weakness was exposed, and he ranked second and only scored 9 points.


    Manchester United pressure Juventus also advanced to the knockout with 15 points.


    Real Madrid won the top spot in the relatively weak group without accident.


    Bayern Munich relies on a better defense to beat Paris Saint-Germain with the same goal advantage to advance.


    Tigana, who lamented her good draw during the draw three months ago, got what she wanted. Although Monaco was more thrilling to win the first place in the goal difference, even if the goal difference was at a disadvantage, they could compare second in the group. Directly into the knockout.


    In the second of the six groups, Leverkusen and Juventus received the remaining two promotion places.


    In the quarterfinals, the German team accounted for three. In addition to the German runner-up last season, Dortmund also entered the Champions League by relying on the defending champion status. This makes the German team look particularly strong this year, especially when they all from The group stage broke out.


    The eight teams are all from the five major leagues. In addition to Germany''s strongest, the Premier League champions and runners-up have also advanced to the quarterfinals. The remaining three teams are the champions of their respective leagues last season.


    There is no doubt that although the UEFA Champions League this year has expanded, it is hard to imagine the intensity of the knockout. The champions of the five major leagues gather in the quarterfinals, the Champions League, the Champions League, and the deserved championship stage.


    December 22.


    Golden Globe Awards presentation site.


    Aldridge did not participate in this feast, because the Premier League drives fast, he will lead the team to train and play games.


    Millwall had two players on leave to attend the festival, Nedved and Larson.


    When the voting result was revealed, there was applause.


    Larson defeated the alien Ronaldo with a very weak advantage and was elected Mr. Golden Ball!


    Before he took the stage to receive the award, Larson and Nedved embraced for a long time. While holding Nedved, Larson''s eyes were wet.


    Nedved was congratulating in his ear and had to urge him to take the stage to receive the award.


    Larson said the first sentence after receiving the Golden Globe Awards: This Golden Globe Award belongs to the Millwall team!


    The second sentence is: If I did not meet the head coach of Audrey Hall, I would definitely not stand here.


    ...


    In this year''s Golden Ball final vote list, the third place is the striker Mijatovi? of the La Liga championship team last season, the fourth place is Zidane of Juventus, and the fifth place is Nedved, followed by Bergkamp.


    In southeast London, the Millwall radiated community, all fans were thrilled at the moment the Golden Globe Awards were announced.


    We have Mr. Golden Ball in Millwall!


    This will bring Millwall''s popularity to a higher level, and Aldridge''s reputation has also skyrocketed.


    Young Master, I have tuned out a Mr. Golden Ball!


    This is a great stimulus for Millwall players.


    Young players aspire to reach the pinnacle of Larsson!


    This year''s Christmas War, Manchester United and Millwall fans are blessed.


    The two teams will usher in a confrontation between the first group of teams in Old Trafford.


    Millwall has been able to put more energy into the league one month after defeating Barcelona in the fourth round of the Champions League.


    In the past few games, they have performed well. Only one tie in the league, other wins, and at the same time the quarter-finals of the League Cup, the young players also won from the Manchester City team Manchester City. In January, they will welcome In the two semi-finals of the League Cup, the opponent is Middlesbrough.


    In Old Trafford, Aldridge''s lineup lacked Nedved and Larson, and the two had a week''s vacation.


    It''s Christmas and it''s time to test the team again.


    At Old Trafford, Ferguson took the initiative to shake hands in front of Aldridge before the game and said quietly: "Congratulations, you have cultivated a Mr. Golden Ball. This achievement is very remarkable. It seems that Manchester United cannot have Chance to get Larson."


    Aldrich shook his head and said: "There is also some luck. Last season''s Champions League champion was Dortmund. Somer won the Golden Globe last year. This year the judges will no longer favor defensive players. Ronaldo went to Inter Milan. There is no Champions League. Can play, Larson happened to be very eye-catching last month, so that he has added a lot of impression points, if not, the Golden Globe Award must still be Ronaldo."


    "What do you want to do? Your players won the Golden Globe Awards, and they were happy."


    Aldridge lowered his head and smiled slightly, then nodded: "Yeah, just be happy, don''t think about other things."


    "It''s me and you fighting for the championship again this year. Are you confident that your defense will be successful?"


    "What do you say?"


    "Oh, a drink after the game?"


    "Is 82 Rafi ready?"


    "It''s been in my thermostat for a long time."


    Ferguson and Aldridge separated after talking, then Ferguson sat on the coach, Aldridge stood on the sidelines.


    Players from both sides enter the stadium in an orderly manner.


    Aldridge let Lampard take the place of Nedved today. Barak seems to have completely emptied his status at the beginning of the season. He has not recovered in the last month, and his performance has fluctuated. At the festival, Aldridge really feels uneasy about Barak. Lampard can at least psychologically adapt to the Christmas Express than foreign players. What level of performance can he show? Let''s take a look at the game.


    After returning to health, Goodjohnson played for Larsson. The Icelanders had no problem with their strength. More than two years ago, they played for the UEFA Champions League on behalf of Eindhoven. If it was not the incompetence of the Eindhoven team doctor, Millwall Can''t find this ready-made bargain.


    Manchester United has been overpowering recently.


    Millwall remained undefeated and only tied one game. As a result, Manchester United were victorious, and all of them won by a big score. They did not win 3-4 opponents. It seemed that they were sorry for the name of the Red Devils.


    This widened the gap between the two teams to three points.


    Today''s game is undoubtedly a six point battle.


    Will decide the Premier League half-time champion!

 Chapter 280： Christmas war

    Old Trafford, Dream Theater.


    As Aldridge talked to Ferguson, the mild sunlight was still shining on this field, but when the game took less than ten minutes, there was light rain in the sky.


    Aldridge stood on the sidelines, his coat was already wet, he seriously commanded the team, Lampard and Goodjohnson could not replace the role of Nedved and Larson, the two played one midfielder and one winger. Are the most important roles in the offensive link.


    Millwall trailed by points, and Aldridge was here as a defending champion. Naturally, he would not let the team be conservative. If only a draw was needed, he would lose to Manchester United in momentum.


    He thought Ferguson would play more conservatively, but even if Ferguson was double-destroyed by Aldridge last season, he is still playing the team''s best at home today.


    Manchester United has changed, a new generation of Red Devils under Ferguson''s training, and it''s time to get results!


    Not to mention technical and tactical, but the player''s running, Milvolmo said that it is an advantage, and even the most basic balance can not be maintained.


    Especially the two sidelines in Manchester United''s tactical link, Giggs and Beckham, this pair of golden wings not only can one pass and one can pass, but also the hardworking king on the court!


    In the past, Millwall hit the Manchester United side and the back of the avant-garde failed to defend the picture, now almost can not see.


    Ten years later, a player can run 10,000 meters in a game is the normal level, can run 12 thousand, 13,000, that is the iron man symbol.


    However, Beckham''s average running distance per game is now more than 13,000, and the highest can break 15,000!


    The same is true for Giggs on the other side, so when the two full-backs can run to the full line to make up for the defense, and at the same time, they must not be neglected when attacking, even if there are only two Manchester United midfielders, Keane and Scole Sri Lanka, but they will never be at a disadvantage when defending.


    Scholes, a player who changed from a shadow striker to an offensive midfielder, also made a leap this season. Last season, the performance was average, but this season, the offensive and defensive ends are becoming masters, with tough guy Keane, and Manchester United. The combination of four players in the midfield is like any giant!


    The only bad thing is the striker combination. Solskjaer truce due to injury. The combined power of Andy Cole and Sheringham can¡¯t be complimented. Of course, they all have goals, but they don¡¯t deserve to be a big striker. The number.


    In the bleak wind and rain, Aldridge was helpless.


    Lampard not only failed to replace Nedved, but also had a completely different style from Nedved.


    He is in the position of the front waist. If it is a long shot from the back, then the position should be further back. He can¡¯t do the consciousness of the ball under the cover of the striker to break through the opponent¡¯s defense. Whether he has the ability, Aldridge does not know, But Lampard has habitually shot from within the range outside the penalty area.


    Pirlo cooperated with him and it was difficult to form a tacit understanding. After seeing the free time, he gave a straight ball, but Lampard always thought that it was for the striker, not for him.


    On the sidelines, Aldridge pointed to Schmeichel and shouted to Lampard: In the attack, your opponent is the Danish goalkeeper, not Keane!


    Lampard was a little bit confined to the confrontation of the position on the court. Perhaps in the Millwall formation, Audridge should fix him in the position of Pirlo or Makelele.


    But the former Lampard is going to be behind Pirlo and Barak. In the latter, Gattuso is also in front of him.


    This is really a headache for Aldridge, no way, who makes Millwall''s front waist more like a second forward.


    Today''s game is a confrontation between the Premier League powerhouses. The pace of the game is exceptionally fast. Manchester United was originally known for playing fast. By relying on the speed of the side lanes, they can directly create the biggest threat.


    Scholes advanced forward in the attack, and after completing the cooperation with Giggs, he continued to move forward, but was put down by Makelele.


    There was endless light rain, and in front of Millwall''s wall, Beckham stood.


    A free kick less than thirty yards from the goal, Aldridge paced back and forth on the sidelines, looking a little heavy.


    Beckham''s free kicks have been repeated this season, and English football has also set off a pursuit of Beckham.


    When the ball flew out of his feet, Aldridge''s heart sank.


    That track looks too familiar!


    A free-kick with a clear arc crossed the wall and flew over Southgate''s head. It was almost a bit short of hitting the ball.


    Butt didn''t make a save, the ball was originally playing on the side of the wall, and it was a banana ball with an exaggerated curvature. It was hanging at the dead end of the goal. When he reacted, he could only rely on luck.


    "Beckham''s signature free kick broke! After Elvin, a free kick player no longer takes a free kick, Manchester United finally has another free kick master! This is their nuclear weapon! Beckham grabs The only weakness in the Millwall defense is the height of air defense! The only combination of Elgra and Southgate is the height that can be criticized. Beckham¡¯s free kick will be higher than Southgate. Special''s head, and then flying under the beam to score the goal, Hall may be thinking: If it is Stam, this ball will definitely be pushed out by the defender''s head, but unfortunately, Stam is already the person opposite. "


    Millwall players were slightly frustrated and were scored free kicks, leaving them without temper.


    Is it really to blame Southgate for not growing two centimeters tall?


    The Red Devils fans in Old Trafford celebrated wantonly.


    Leading, we finally lead the fuck!


    Since the upgrade of Millwall, the Red Devils have only defeated Millwall in the community shield. In the first season, the two teams drew in the league. In the cup, Millwall defeated the opponent. In the second season, Millwall directly doubled. Not even the community shield.


    In the third season, the Red Devils finally took the lead in the contest!


    Referee, the game is over, you can blow the whistle, we will win one!


    Millwall fans are more calm.


    This was only 29 minutes in the first half, and even half of the game didn''t arrive. Anxiously, the mad lion could pull it back sooner or later. Don''t look at the fact that we are missing two main forces and still abuse the Red Devils!


    Today is Christmas, and fans who come to cheer on are going to collect Christmas gifts from the Red Devils.


    In the first half of injury time, Millwall also received a direct free kick for the first 30 yards of the penalty area.


    Keane didn''t know if he had an enmity with Lampard. The community shield shoveled the opponent and hurt himself. Today, when he defended Lampard, his movements were obviously too large. The referee couldn''t stand it anymore. Wall free kick and gave Keane a yellow card.


    Three people stood in front of the free kick.


    Schneider, Lampard, Pirlo.


    The characteristics of the three free kicks are different.


    Schneider''s arc shot angle, Lampard pays attention to straight and straight, Pirlo is still scoring into his own fallen leaves.


    Seeing these three standing in front of the ball, Schmeichel shouted loudly at his teammates'' position, looking fearless and fearless, but in fact he was trembling.


    Grass, who are you to fight? Which side? Do you play Yin or hard?


    Schneider ran past, and Lampard ran past. After the two crossed, Pirlo finally took the penalty. The ball did not cross the wall, but he got through the cracks and played the same thing. This side of the wall.


    Schmeichel turned his head and looked at the ball quietly under the net.


    He angrily shouted at his teammates at the platoon.


    "What am I talking about? Who the **** did you do? Who the **** jumped sideways and gave the gap to let the ball come over? If Lao Tzu becomes a loser again today, be careful!"


    Schmeichel hated Millwall too. After playing with Millwall for the past two years, he couldn''t sleep well a week. Once, twice, three times, how many times can''t be counted. Is he still the Danish goalkeeper? As long as you play Millwall, you will soon become a plague!


    "Uh, Millwall equalized the score with a free kick. Although it seems that Pirlo¡¯s free kick is not as beautiful as Beckham¡¯s, the effect is the same. The crazy lion equalized the score before entering the locker room. This is A very crucial goal, if you take one goal behind and enter the second half, the situation will be very unfavorable."


    Aldrich midfielder spit out tasks with the players, especially focusing on adjusting the offensive routine on the front line.


    Goodjohnson, Trezeguet, and Shevchenko could not form a joint force. His running position was a bit dead, and he would only hold the left side. Aldridge kept repeating him to go to the middle and right. Concentrate on one side to break Manchester United''s position defense.


    It also made Lampard observe the situation more calmly. As long as there is time in front, he can go to the position. Don¡¯t always think about connecting another foot from his front waist in the frontcourt, and don¡¯t rigidly block the front zone Either take a long shot and try to break through bolder!


    After coming out of the locker room, Aldridge returned to the sidelines and looked up at the sky anxiously.


    The sky in Manchester is no different from a woman''s face.


    Say it changes.


    No, it was clear that the rain stopped before the halftime break, but the result was less than 20 minutes, and the rain started again, and it was getting bigger and bigger!


    The two sides probably did not expect the weather to become so fast, but Manchester United have been playing in Manchester for many years and have long been used to this kind of weather change.


    At the beginning of the second half, Zambrotta slipped to the ground while defending on the left, not only fell on the court, but also injured himself!


    Although Beckham has a long running distance, he is not fast, and it seems to be an ordinary stop ball moving laterally, but Zambrotta fell down while moving laterally, so Beckham took the ball forward to the bottom, Then a precise cross ball hit the goal, Sheringham headed the ball, Bout blocked the ball, Cole caught up with the foot, and Bout blocked the ball.


    Crazy Lions fans have not yet marveled that Bout is extremely brave in high and low blocks, but the ball that hit the big penalty area line was sent into the goal by Scholes.


    The ball was still reflected on Makelele''s calf.


    Bute stood up with his hands on his hips, his face helpless.


    Manchester United fans burst into tears, and it was not easy for his mother to score a goal.


    Sheringham, Cole, two forwards, can you two be more reliable? So the ball cannot be scored at close range, and we must rely on Scholes to solve the battle. Grass, our heart disease is about to explode!


    Aldridge looked a little ugly on the sidelines, walked to the bench to allow Neil to warm up quickly, and then replaced Zambrotta who sprained his ankle when he fell.


    The Italian guy is very depressed.


    Capdevila recently recovered from his injuries, but he firmly occupied the main position. Seeing that he could stabilize the main position and be able to clarify the status of the team, he was injured again in this rain battle.


    God doesn''t help him!


    The fans of the crazy lion face were worried, and they were still in the first half, but the second half was different. The team fell behind and the main force hurt one. It was really unfavorable for years.


    After Neil took over from Zambrotta, this passive substitution would give new players some time to adjust to the rhythm of the game, so Millwall actively contracted for five or six minutes, after Neil fully entered the game. , And then broke out across the board.

 Chapter 281： Often walking by the river

    In the last 20 minutes of the game between Manchester United and Millwall, Millwall began to attack like crazy, suppressing Manchester United to beat in the half.


    The defending champion now has a taste of being forced to a dead end.


    The gap between the two teams was originally 3 points. If you lose this game, the gap will expand to 6 points. According to the momentum of Manchester United in the first half of the season, it is estimated that Millwall will have difficulty catching up with such a gap in the second half of the season.


    At least a draw is needed!


    Aldridge made another substitution in the 75th minute of the game, replacing Elgra with Fanny, allowing Lampard to retreat, double forwards on the front line, bilateral forwards also take care of the defense, the back line shrinks, and Makelele defends The position moves backward.


    After such a change, Millwall''s offensive went up and down.


    But repeatedly passing by with goals, Shevchenko''s two consecutive shots were very close.


    The Red Devils fans were holding their heads in the stands and couldn''t look down.


    The mad lion is not a mad lion at all now, but a mad lion!


    Lampard withdrew from the position and then inserted the offensive for a long shot. The effect was better. This was due to the concealment of the offensive point. Unfortunately, he shot back on the goal post in the 79th minute of the long shot, and the position was further back. Pirlo''s foot shot unexpectedly, Schmeichel ran back in embarrassment, seeing the ball will fall into the goal, he jumped up and hit the ball out of the crossbar, but he rolled into the goal.


    It was really exciting to play this part of the game!


    Pirlo took the corner and once again deceived his opponent. He didn''t cross, but knocked back to Schneider.


    Schneider dribbles the ball along the wing, intending to use his personal position to the bottom line to let Manchester United''s back line overflow when he leaked in front of the door. As a result, he did not expect that when Elvin retreated in front of him. Slipped to the ground, the fans suddenly went crazy.


    Schneider smiled at the big gift, took the ball under the ball more incisively, then cut inwards, observed the situation after rushing into the penalty area, and then crossed the ball vigorously.


    The Manchester United defenders saw that the scalp was numb, not to mention that no one could make it, even if they could touch the ball, but they faced their own goal. On this slippery field, there was a slight deviation in the movement. Own goals.


    Fortunately, none of the Manchester United players touched the ball. Good Johnson at the later point got a golden opportunity. He shot a small angle at the rear point. This full shot was miraculously saved by Schmeichel. !


    The ball popped out of the periphery, and Southgate, who had not retreated, saw that the ball had come to him.


    Schmeichel, who had just completed a close save, was still holding the incredible Good Johnson in his head. Unexpectedly, the ball flew back again. He looked around and the whole person was blown up.


    Grass mud horse!


    How many times do you want Lao Tzu to come to the world!


    "Strange, too weird! This game is full of magic. Both teams scored a direct free kick in the first half. In the second half, Millwall had a player slip first, and then there was a loophole in the defense that allowed Manchester United to score a goal. The result is now Manchester United. There were also players who slipped and gave Millwall a chance to equalize the score. The most amazing thing is that the two teams scored the same way. You can¡¯t blame the goalkeeper for not doing well. Bout continued to save and Schmeichel was close. It blocked GoodJohnson''s imperative goal, but the opponent''s second set point was still grasped by the opponent, and then a long shot penetrated the gate. 2:2, Millwall returned the game to the starting point."


    The Red Devils fans at Old Trafford stared blankly at the players on the field, especially Elvin.


    Alas, he has already blessed his body. In such a game, it is a rain fight, and his feet are slipping. Who can expect it?


    Fans of the crazy lion shouted with joy and shouted with joy, "Reverse! Reverse! Reverse!"


    The draw is of course unsatisfactory. Only by defeating Manchester United can we regain the position of leader of the standings.


    Aldridge made another substitution, replacing Trezeguet with Matrazzi to balance the offense and defense.


    In the away game, the previous reliance on Manchester United continued to put pressure on the players. The physical fitness of the players could not be sustained. Because of the rain, the physical consumption was faster.


    The players on both sides saw a red bayonet and frequent fouls, and no one wanted to give the opponent an opportunity to attack again, but this time, the Welsh king turned his back.


    Giggs sprinted on the left, Schneider stepped forward and assisted madly in the previous 20 minutes. This round of running made him consume a lot of physical energy. In the 86th minute of the game, he was still speeding like a jig. After the breakthrough, Makelele quickly replaced the seat and strangled Giggs'' threat on the edge of the penalty area, but the price was foul.


    Makelele received a yellow card and Manchester United received a direct free kick.


    In the restricted area, around the 40-degree angle, the Millwall line of defense is facing the enemy.


    The handsome guy Beckham stood in front of the ball, but Bout looked at the wall of small people, and his heart was cold.


    No way, a tall man like Materazzi must have defended the cross from inside the penalty area.


    Millwall retired to guard against the opponent''s direct free kick.


    There were four people on the wall, Schneider, Pirlo, Shevchenko, Makelele.


    The average height is less than 1.8 meters, the highest is Sheva, 183CM...


    When Beckham''s free kick came out, all of the wall jumped, and everyone struggled to use their heads to clear it. It seems that Beckham''s moon scimitar was aimed at the near corner of the goal behind the wall.


    Schneider''s scalp reached the ball.


    Although I am not tall, I jump high!


    When he reached the ball, he turned his head and looked at it, watching the trajectory of the ball flying, and his heartbeat thundered.


    Grass, don''t say anything!


    Beckham''s free kick went to the goal. As a result, Schneider made a sudden change of direction and became a pass.


    Fanny was closest to the trajectory of the ball. Everyone could see that the ball was going off the goal, but suddenly flew towards the door, all in shock.


    The king of the small penalty area hurriedly wanted a header to clear the ball, but the ball rubbed against his head again and bounced back, and the speed became slower.


    The distance was too close, Materazzi shook his head immediately after seeing the ball, but the ball flew past his head. When he finished his head shake, he only heard that the old Trafford broke out like a mountain tsunami. Cheers!


    Everyone looked back and saw that Stam turned and ran to the sidelines to celebrate. The Manchester United team rushed to the summer transfer and showed a solid center defender.


    On the day, he was killed by the traitors!


    "Manchester United staged a lore! There are less than five minutes left in the game. This game may, perhaps, also become a classic. The whole process is unforgettable. If it is a neutral fan, I think this ball will be open. Laugh. At the end of this lore, Beckham shot, but after being disturbed by Millwall, Millwall played a header relay in front of his door, and then assisted Stam after the point, they may still I thought Stam was his own... At the last moment, can the defending champion even the score or stage a big reversal? But Manchester United are not Bolton, and they are not at the Lions Stadium today."


    The Millwall players are almost insane, and today the game played strangely and weirdly.


    Three lost goals, one free kick, one was caught by the opponent with a two-point attack and a long-range shot. The third lost goal, although there is an accidental factor, is obviously related to the nervousness at the last moment. It was more like a ball hitting his head, and then he fell backwards and took Captain Southgate.


    Seeing this goal, Aldridge covered his eyes with his hands as if he didn''t believe the picture in front of him.


    Ferguson rushed out of the coach seat and ran into the rain-drenched stadium, raising his arms with joy as if he had led the team to the first top league championship in the first year of the Premier League.


    Aldrich wiped his face, wiped off the rain, and pointed at Materazzi. The Italians knew what to do next without using Aldrich''s ears.


    Materazzi said two things to Southgate, meaning: Captain, I''m going to charge and you are at home.


    There is not much time left in the game, Manchester United is determined to defend the victory, and Millwall wants the whole army to suppress the situation and stage an anti-mortality!


    Pirlo''s straight ball was not successful. Fortunately, the ball was released and still under Millwall''s control. Schneider''s side pass was released by Stam. The ball fell to Scholes and the **** head was calm. It was outrageous that he dared to pass it back to Neville!


    Good Johnson immediately grabbed Neville, who gave the ball to Beckham, who ran out of the sideline.


    Beckham turned around without a ball, and made a long diagonal pass to the left.


    Welsh King Giggs jumped forward in front of Schneider, stopped the ball on the chest and landed on the ground.


    Schneider couldn''t keep up with Giggs.


    Too much pressure!


    When Giggs was flat, Makelele returned to protect the space in the restricted area. When Giggs came near the penalty area, he moved over there and forced to grab. Giggs wisely did not get close by Makelele and knocked the ball horizontally. After receiving the ball, Sheringham played a triangle pass, the ball was directly inserted into the restricted area of ??the penalty area, Cole kept pulling the ball directly to the far corner, and Bout was unable to return to the sky!


    4:2!


    Manchester United counterattacked the victory in the first minute of injury time.


    The Red Devils fans celebrated wildly with songs and dances in the stands. They waved their fists and demonstrated to Millwall.


    Very strange scene.


    If it were three years ago, four years ago, would the Red Devils fans be excited by defeating Millwall?


    I''m afraid it''s probably a natural feeling.


    Aldridge shook his head and smiled bitterly on the sidelines.


    Often walking by the river, and finally fell into the river.


    Perennial geese, blinded by geese today!


    In the past, the giants fought back against Feng Shengshui, but today Manchester United used this way to destroy the hope of equalizing the score.


    Although Aldridge was somewhat lost, his mentality was fairly stable.


    Manchester United had been waiting at home for a long time, and the advantage at home was more obvious when driving fast, and no one expected that Millwall would drop the third ball in such a bizarre way, and the battle situation became very passive at once.


    The crazy lion fans in the stands suddenly sang in unison, singing the team song of the crazy lion in unison.


    Today, it should have been a rather depressed Christmas for three and a half years since Aldridge took over. However, they only had a brief disappointment.


    "The end of the game, the last league match in the first half of the Premier League came to an end. In this focus battle at Old Trafford, guest defending champion Millwall lost 2:4, not only failed to narrow down with Manchester United The gap between the two teams has increased the difference between the two teams to 6 points. At the same time, Arsenal, who is chasing behind them, has also narrowed the points gap with Millwall to 4 points, which will undoubtedly make the Premier League in the second half of the season. More nervous and exciting, maybe the final round of the Premier League this season ends, Millwall''s home game against Manchester United will become the final battle for the championship! This game is over, friends, Merry Christmas! Three days later Goodbye!"


    Aldrich walked into Ferguson¡¯s office after the game. The two briefly talked for 20 minutes on a special day like Christmas. Although Ferguson no longer tentatively dug Millwall¡¯s players, he aimed at Mill. Wall''s coach.


    Manchester United wants Mullenstein. This kind of digging does not require Millwall to nod and agree. Ferguson is only a courtesy to inform Aldridge. Aldridge seems calm. If Mullensteen wants to go, Milwax Er can''t keep it, but Aldridge''s confidence in staying Mullenstin is very strong, because Millwall has something Mullenstein is more yearning for.


    That is a large number of talented players let him to adjust skills.

 Chapter 282： Millwall makes headlines

    After losing the key battle with Manchester United, the morale of the locker room players was very low after the game. On Christmas day, everyone was not happy. Aldridge walked into the locker room after the game but clapped and said: "Man Forget about the game, take a bath and change clothes, then we take a plane home and have a happy new year with our family. Don¡¯t let your family be affected by this defeat. Only today, we can completely treat Football as a job, go home, forget about work, and spend time with family, children, and be a competent father, husband, or child."


    Hearing Aldridge''s words, the players recovered their spirits.


    Life still has to continue, especially in the cheerful atmosphere of the New Year, they should put the family first. This is understandable. Aldridge is not an inhuman head coach, and there is no need to blame the players today. Too many, losing to Manchester United away, they were not the absolute winning side, there are many factors to lose, but they can not all blame the players, so that they increase pressure.


    When Aldridge was chatting with Ferguson, Millwall players also took a shower in the locker room, changed their clothes, and then the team took the bus to the airport. Because today is a special day, they came to fight The game is a charter flight and you can save time when you go back.


    After less than an hour of flight, the plane landed at London Airport, Aldridge directly disbanded the team at the airport, and also gave them Christmas gifts prepared by the club.


    Aldridge returned to his parents¡¯ home for the holidays. Today the family is more lively. In addition to his second brother Andrew, his eldest brother Barnett came here with a family of three. There are also mothers and daughters of Rowling¡¯s orphan and widow in London.


    The family prepared a sumptuous dinner, all waiting for Aldridge.


    "How are you feeling?"


    Rowling asked on the sofa with a gentle smile.


    Aldrich asked in surprise: "Of course it is very good, why do you ask?"


    Rowling pointed to the TV, which still shows the ball review program for the Premier League game.


    Aldridge sighed bitterly and said, "Uh, I don''t really care much. I think if you lost today''s game a month ago or a month later, no one should specifically ask me if you would Well, football has losses and wins, it¡¯s a normal rule, sometimes it¡¯s just bad luck, there¡¯s no need to worry about it. But today, I want to forget the game as much as possible, but when I think about how the players look lost, It seems that I gave them a very bad Christmas, and I felt a little uncomfortable."


    "Your job is really hard. Ling Zun said that there will be a game after three days. You haven''t even had a holiday. I think if you feel uncomfortable, you should stop and relax, but you don''t seem to have this space."


    Aldridge chuckled and nodded, "There is no time. The pressure of the job of the football coach is really beyond the imagination. My plan is to retire at the age of 50, otherwise the heart may not be able to bear it. By the way, Jesse What about cards?"


    Rowling glanced at the direction of the garden behind her and said, "He and your nephew are playing behind. The two little guys are of the same age. Bowen is a very polite child. It is easy to be friends with children of the same age. Jessica is rare. I am very happy to meet such a child."


    Aldrich shook his head and whispered: "In fact, I always think that my elder brother and sister-in-law''s education method is wrong. They are too repressive of the child''s nature. Bowen is only four years old, but he feels independent and stable, never If you say the wrong thing, you won¡¯t be coquettish. I really don¡¯t know what they want to teach their children."


    Rowling closed her blond hair in her right hand with a smile, and said with a smile: "When you have children, you may understand them."


    "time to eat!"


    Mother Amelia yelled in the dining room. The typical civilian housewife made a pie. Even if she had been honored for so many years, she still could not learn the lady¡¯s set. It was definitely not like Aldrich¡¯s sister-in-law. Aldridge and his sister-in-law would say nothing more than a formal greeting.


    Because he feels that his sister-in-law has become somewhat pretentious, it seems that she is deliberately creating the image of a famous lady celebrity, but this temperament is difficult to develop the day after tomorrow, so Barnett has never been able to take off the hat of a ¡°starter¡±.


    "Son, come here, sit here."


    Arthur, who was not very good-looking, beckoned to let Aldridge sit beside him. The Hall family didn''t have the kind of high-low table ordering. Aldridge sat next to his father.


    Arthur started a long talk, reviewing the game between Millwall and Manchester United.


    This made Aldridge laugh and cry, especially since Arthur put forward many incredible theories.


    For example, Beckham''s shoes and game **** are Manchester United''s secret weapons!


    Beckham has been the focus of the British football circle since he became famous, and the news about him has been talked about. One of them is: every game, he wears different shoes.


    While Zambrotta slipped and injured on the court, Arthur firmly believed that Manchester United intentionally!


    In order to make Beckham perform better on that side, he poured water on the side of the court!


    Aldridge and others laughed back and forth.


    This is the theory of God!


    As such, Elvin also slipped in the second half, is it also Manchester United''s conspiracy? Is it to scrap their own main force?


    After a pleasant dinner, Arthur Mum Mum ran upstairs, and then came down with a pile of gift boxes, and sent Christmas gifts to the juniors in the posture of elders, even Rowling was no exception. Barnett was two or three years old, and there was nothing wrong with Arthur treating her as a junior.


    Rowling came home today to prepare a novel for Harry Potter and sent some ordinary gifts to others. Aldrich''s was a tie.


    Barnett made a generous shot and originally prepared a lot of valuable gifts at home. He selected a Cartier necklace and gave it to Rowling. As for the other two brothers, they were generous, two mansions in the suburbs of London.


    Neither Andrew nor Aldridge refused, and readily accepted that the mansion worth more than a million pounds, but Aldridge was not interested in enjoying it, felt too troublesome, and was a bit far from the training base. He still liked to live in his small apartment .


    When night fell, Aldridge drove Rowling''s mother and daughter home, and Jessica and Bowen played for one night. They were already tired and slept in the back seat. Aldridge drove the car very slowly, avoiding the express train. The inertia of the turn woke her up.


    "I''m sorry to invite you here today, sorry. Actually, I don''t know if this will make you embarrassed. After all, my family, you are not familiar with it."


    "It feels good. At least I know you and Andrew. I also imagined what the Hall family would be like when they were called London upstarts. I was afraid of meeting some domineering guys, but Arthur and Amy Leah made me feel very warm. The Hall family turned out to be just an ordinary big family. Compared to ordinary people, you just have more money, but money has not changed you."


    In the past years, Rowling spent Christmas at her sister¡¯s house. Although she was with her family, she was under the status of a host, but this year was different. As a guest at the Hall¡¯s, it made her very happy. Especially her daughter Jessica made a new friend.


    Rowling¡¯s working hours are relatively free, so she invites Audridge to attend her reading club. She has also established a social circle in London. She can be regarded as a literati and scholar. Recommend, Aldridge readily agrees that he usually uses books to play time when he has time. Some professionals can recommend some reading materials, and it is better than nothing.


    On the way back to her apartment, Melanie called from the phone in the United States. She and the hot girl group entered North America with great success. They have begun planning a global tour after the New Year. It is estimated that in the new year, the young couple will still With less gathering and more separation, the concert schedule of the Spice Girls is extremely horrible. It is estimated that there will be at least dozens of concerts in various places throughout the year.


    Back home to take a bath and sleep, Aldridge involuntarily began to think about the Premier League three days later.


    Millwall will visit Highbury to challenge Arsenal.


    Thinking about falling asleep, he was awakened by a phone call, rubbing his sleepy eyes to see the time, less than 5 in the morning.


    After picking up the phone, he heard Yiwen''s voice, and he spoke very solemnly.


    "I was at your door, opened the door, and something went wrong."


    Aldridge got up and sat up. He didn''t care about the meter in his pajamas and went downstairs to open the door. Yi Wen, who was wearing a warm coat, stood at his doorstep.


    It''s still dawning, what can happen?


    After Yiwen entered the door, he said straightforwardly: "In three hours, the headlines of the major newspapers on Fleet Street on the first day of the new year will be: Millwall Christmas Sex Party!"


    Aldridge was holding the sofa in his hand, his expression was extremely wonderful, surprised, shocked, angry, and then suspicious.


    "Where did you hear the news?"


    "I was responsible for the club''s publicity. I met a lot of friends. Someone told me about it half an hour ago. It was just for telling, it was impossible to cover it."


    Aldrich turned around, leaning his hands on the sofa and lowering his head, Shen Sheng asked, "What the **** happened?"


    "Last night at about 11 o''clock, a reporter followed a number of Millwall players into a nightclub, and then disguised to look into the news at close range, and took a lot of photos. The general content is that, in addition to Millwall players, other The men should be their friends, then the women present, basically all call girls, more than 30 people!"


    Aldrich squeezed the sofa with both hands, but his voice was soft and steady: "Who are there?"


    "I watched some photos and I was able to confirm their identity: Rio Ferdinand, Frank Lampard, Daniel Mills, Richard Wright, Ashley Cole, Paul Robinson, Joe Cole, David Dunn. But I didn¡¯t see all the photos. It is said that there should be Vassel and Jeffers, but how many people are participating in the whole process or leaving early, I don¡¯t think so. Know."


    Aldrich repeated the names given by Ewen one by one.


    Finally, he lowered his head and grinned.


    "In this way, all the **** is a native of England? That is to say, except for Parker, Carrick and King, all other English players as long as they are adults, all the **** went to have fun, Okay, it¡¯s so **** good. Lao Tzu is worried all over the day. You¡¯re all right, but you¡¯re not at all, but you can¡¯t wait to be happy. Haha. More than 30 women, are they so rich?"


    Yiwen took a step closer and whispered: "It is said that these call girls are paid several hundred pounds per person. It is estimated that the cost of one night is about 200,000 pounds. Are you not sure?"


    Aldridge grinned and said, "Why would I know this? I really want to have **** parties, and look down on women who open their thighs for a few hundred pounds, and play the most advanced!"


    Yiwen Wenyan turned her face to the side and sneered.


    Aldridge took a deep breath and straightened up, apologizing: "I''m sorry, just annoying."


    "They don''t fight for themselves, you don''t have to do this."


    "It''s just because they don''t fight for themselves that I am more angry!"

 Chapter 283： Big Brother

    The club was on holiday on the first day of the new year, but Aldridge came to the club¡¯s conference room before dawn. A man sat on the main seat with Erlang¡¯s legs, and the other hand tapped on the table slowly. , As if we can''t tune the music.


    The British Paparazzi, in addition to the shocking exposure of the scandal, is more pervasive than journalists from other countries. In terms of work efficiency, their follow-up work after the news broke is also the best. This is obviously compared to the following. German journalists can''t talk about professional ethics, it''s just that there is a gap between news acumen and the ability to master the overall situation.


    I have been dealing with the media for more than three years. Aldrich has experienced the storms and waves. Naturally, he will know what kind of scene he will encounter today.


    So, he slipped first and slipped from his home to the club.


    In this way, the reporters who swarmed in front of his house would definitely return with disappointment.


    The door of the meeting room was pushed open, and Naji, the servant of the air, came in. He canceled the ticket that flew back to his home in Hungary today. He was about to board the plane, but hurried back to the club.


    "I heard about it, what should I do with this kind of thing?"


    Najib was worried, he had never encountered such a thing.


    In fact, Aldridge is also the first time. Simply talking about club management, as long as the players do not deliberately slack off, the head coach will not make a fuss, especially the Millwall first team has three exemplary captains as models. During the team''s training, the other players did not dare to make mistakes.


    But can the head coach manage private life off the court?


    Maybe it doesn''t matter.


    However, when the image of the player¡¯s private life damages the image of the club, Aldridge feels that he is absolutely in control as a boss and head coach.


    Najib sat down without even drinking, and frowned and worried.


    "They''re very fledgling, and it sounds normal to find women, but why look for call girls? Even Joe Cole is involved, alas, he..."


    Najib was really afraid that these players would be ruined by the chaotic private life, and issued a series of worries.


    In addition to his anger, Aldridge was disappointed, but seeing Najib''s distressed appearance, he really felt distressed for the brother, and he was even more angry with the behavior of the players.


    Look, your coach is working hard for you, eating and drinking Lhasa all the time thinking about cultivating you into talents, making you famous, but what have you done!


    "I have called their agent, and the news has been in the news now. I let the agent tell them: I am waiting for them at the club."


    Aldrich comforted Xia Naji, and then closed his eyes to recuperate.


    This kind of thing makes him feel embarrassed to deal with.


    Fortunately, during the Christmas period, the foreign players of the youth team and the reserve team were all accommodating, allowing them to go home on holiday and their family for the holiday, Ronaldinho flew back to Brazil, and De Rossi returned to Rome. Otherwise, it is not known how many players will be involved in this peachy storm.


    From a legal point of view, the behavior of the players is not a violation of the law. The call girl exists legally. Some people pay money and some people undress.


    But from the moral level, it is too unsightly!


    Although most men would have thought about secondary addiction if they had the opportunity, occasionally fantasizing about group P or fighting with the handsome call girl, but it¡¯s the same thing in the heart, and it¡¯s public on the countertop, then Is another matter.


    "Alas, English players are not easy to manage, so **** fucking!"


    Aldridge waited impatiently. It is estimated that the protagonists in the center of the vortex were exhausted overnight and still sleeping soundly.


    Najib nodded and sighed: "Yeah, foreign players, especially young players, come here to live in a decent manner, and even some people are afraid of outside socializing. I used to think that this is not good for them, but they can really treat It doesn¡¯t seem to be good to be a local.¡±


    Aldridge shook his head helplessly.


    Most foreigners come here to be more introverted. It is impossible to feel free in unfamiliar surroundings, and they may be afraid of going wrong.


    But the local players are different. They are familiar with all the trees and trees. They are not afraid of being bullied outside, but also have a huge network of interpersonal relationships. A large number of fox friends have money and want to have fun. Do people help?


    In fact, Aldridge is more humane and enlightened about player management.


    It is completely unrelated to the iron fist, because he is more able to put down the shelf and communicate with the player patiently, and will not list a lot of "military discipline" and let the players execute. Anyone who violates who will be punished will have no chance to appeal to the player.


    Benitez disagrees very much on this point. He feels that managing a team is like managing an army.


    Aldridge continued to guide Benitez, allowing him to think more about the player from the player''s perspective.


    If Aldridge remembers correctly, Benitez and Alonso fell in Liverpool in history. The reason is that Benitez is too unreasonable.


    Alonso wanted to go home to look after his sick daughter, and Benitez said with a cold face: Go, then never have to come back.


    Alonso came back, and then left again, saying goodbye to Anfield.


    There is discipline within the team, which is normal, but not too rigid management.


    For example, Trezeguet had a lot of leave for a period of time, and he still took the way of lying in the same way as elementary school students. He was sick and had an accident. He even made up a friendly match of the French National Youth Team as a reason to ask for leave.


    Aldridge later searched all the French team''s echelon games, and did not find the French youth team and the Swiss youth team mentioned on his leave.


    Aldrich did not blame him, but took out the coach game score, the training report to him, let him see with his eyes, his performance decline, before and after the difference in the quality of his training, then, let Trezeguet think for himself, he Whether it is to continue to ask for leave to date with his girlfriend, or to honestly play football to achieve childhood dreams, and to achieve a leap in self-life value.


    In this way of management, Trezeguet surrendered to the cliff, took the initiative to apologize to Aldridge and confessed everything, and then never took another leave, and quickly recovered.


    The player''s private life, Aldridge really didn''t want to ask, thinking that it would make him a mother and nanny.


    Like Lampard, who was originally a **** player, Aldridge kept his eyes closed.


    He loves to change a few girlfriends, it¡¯s his own business. As long as it doesn¡¯t affect the training, and doesn¡¯t make the relationship into a disturbance, Aldridge doesn¡¯t care how long he changes a girlfriend. Not normal.


    Considering players as individuals, as long as personal behavior does not affect their job, that is, playing football, then there is no need to restrict the players in club management.


    Ten years later, Giggs'' "brother-in-law" shocked football.


    However, from the perspective of the head coach, Giggs is only a personal behavior. He did not interfere with his teammates, nor did he make himself a team tumor on the court. He judged fairly and objectively. He is a moral scum, but he is still on the green field. Model, other players still have to learn Giggs, but only to learn the part of his football.


    The spicy buddies like Liverpool are very different. They are combined by individual behavior and become a collective behavior. This not only directly affects Liverpool¡¯s team performance, but also causes the Liverpool club image to suffer. In this era, Liverpool missed the championship. , The outside world is ridiculed and ironic, they all feel that they deserve it!


    You drink and pick up girls on weekdays, playing smarter than anyone else, and want to hold the championship trophy at the end of the season to be worshipped by fans. How can there be such a good thing in the world?


    Therefore, Lampard changed his new girlfriend''s gossip news on weekdays, but Aldridge was only invisible, but invisible.


    But the **** party last night was unforgivable.


    Regardless of this unhealthy trend, God knows how many players will be affected by them!


    Especially so many promising players in the Millwall youth team.


    After noon, only players entered the meeting room.


    Joe Cole walked into the conference room in a casual attire, and he looked at the expressionless Audridge and the worried Najib in fright.


    "Boss, Coach Najib, me, me, I left early yesterday! Really!"


    Joe Cole has never seen Aldridge with such a cold face. After all, Aldridge is older than him, and when Aldridge has been free to go to the youth team, he will encourage him or object to his performance. Evaluation, and then guide him.


    Just a month ago, when Joe Cole turned 16 years old, the club gave him a very good professional contract. Joe Cole recently was the spring breeze, and I didn¡¯t expect the big brother in the team on Christmas night. Called out to play together, so the end came out!


    "What happened last night, you tell me first."


    Joe Cole was so calm that he didn''t dare to sit, but fortunately, Najib asked him to sit down, and then he began to talk about what happened last night.


    In fact, he just had nothing to do with egg pain, had a Christmas dinner with his family, and then received a text message from Ferdinand. The guy who was also curious about the nightclub suddenly realized that he was an adult and should see the "adult world". Several little friends went to the nightclub together.


    But Joe Cole was sleepy until midnight, but Ferdinand gave them a big stimulus. As soon as more than thirty call girls appeared, Joe Cole almost got scared.


    Although he was not a good man in his bones, he was ashamed to be "shy" at the age of sixteen, so he panicked and took the friends to leave the nightclub. As for what happened later, he didn''t know, uh, he All the vows are true.


    Ashley Cole, who was one year older than him, was very relaxed. At least when he walked, Ashley Cole had already embraced the two big sisters with a smile on his face...


    In fact, Aldridge was just curious. He wanted to hear the story of last night. As for the punishment measures, he had a record in his heart. Of course, he would not be sentenced because of whether there was a woman or a few.


    The two coaches and the fearful Joe Cole continued to wait in the conference room.


    The players notified by the agent came one after another.


    Every time he came, Aldridge asked the story last night. Some people said it in great detail. As a result, Aldridge had to shut the other side up, and some people were ashamed to talk, but this time they started. Pretend to be pure.


    It wasn''t until the evening that the three protagonists appeared last night. It is said that this party was organized by the three of them.


    Mills, Ferdinand, Lampard.


    When the three arrived, the atmosphere suddenly became very depressed.


    Aldridge sat on the main position with his chin and stared coldly at the three players. They were sitting on the needle felt one by one, and then lowered their heads, seeming uncomfortable.


    Fleet Street was addictive. It was a big news that the defending champion lost yesterday was not enough. Millwall gave them even more headlines.


    Yeah, Millwall''s game against Manchester United, everything will be news, but Millwall players open parties like the atomic bomb has a sensational effect.


    Aldridge, who once despised Liverpool''s spicy brother, but his disciples are repeating the same mistakes, is this not enough?


    Hey, it''s really not enough.


    Why are there no louder names?


    If there were Pirlo, Schneider, Southgate, Trezeguet, Nedved, Larsen, it would be great!

 Chapter 284： Humiliation

    The three protagonists did not dare to face Aldridge. The silent atmosphere of the conference room made many young players unbearable. They simply lowered their heads and closed their eyes as if they were waiting to beheaded.


    "You gave me a Christmas gift that I will never forget!"


    Aldridge said coldly.


    Ferdinand raised his head, still avoiding Aldridge''s gaze, and said awkwardly: "Boss, the truth is not what the newspaper said, in fact, it was not my idea, but a few of my friends."


    At least the original intention of going to the nightclub, Ferdinand really is not a party.


    These players won a new contract six months ago and their salaries have soared.


    At this time of Christmas, friends also have time to come out to play, so everyone gathers together to go to the nightclub. At first, they just drink some wine, dance, sing, but as more and more people find out, there is no woman. "It''s not pretty, so I found some beautiful call girls. This was Ferdinand''s friend who cut it first.


    Ferdinand is less than 20 years old. If he loses his face, he will just let it go.


    Men, all women involved in social activities are very sensitive. Once they refuse, they will be laughed at or misunderstood.


    Aldridge sneered several times when he heard his explanation.


    My friend, yeah, which superstar fell down by himself? Don''t you have a group of friends around?


    "This reason is so **** funny, Gascoyne also has many friends."


    It must be said that at this time, Gascoyne is the most typical living example.


    When Gascoigne became a national idol and landed in Italy, the BBC specially sent a film crew to follow Gascoigne 24 hours a day, making a bit of his life a week to be broadcast in England, and the ratings were not low. , Which is enough to prove the reputation and influence of Gascoigne.


    Gascoigne had a group of friends wherever he went. He dragged his car and drank. Hey, he had a lot of tricks. He even handcuffed himself to a chair and spent the night in a hotel like a prisoner.


    Can such a player, such a life, rest?


    Even if it gave you the gift of God, hasn''t it been squandered one by one?


    Gascoigne, who scored the most exciting goal in the European Championship in the local European Cup in 1996, came to London in the summer of a few months after a lapse of one year, following the Glasgow Rangers as a guest to challenge Mill Wall, it was just a friendly game, but it detonated the enthusiasm of the city.


    Unfortunately, in that friendly game, Gascoigne''s performance was not worth mentioning. Millwall players really wanted to compete with Gascoigne once, but 30-year-old Gascoigne gave People feel like they are 40 years old. At the very least, many 30-year-old veterans on the Premier League are more threatening than him, not to mention Cantona, who also led Manchester United to win the championship at 30 years old.


    The players were disappointed after that game, whether they were young players or players in their prime.


    The audience sighed after the game: Gascoigne, finished.


    This is the pain in the hearts of all British fans, but also the scar of the heart that does not want to tear.


    Aldridge stared at Ferdinand indifferently, and said with a deep voice: "Leo, if Henrik is sitting in your position today, I will be very sad, because he stopped after reaching the peak of the player¡¯s personal honor. Footsteps, I will regret him, but today is you, Frank, Danny, three of you, I only have anger and disappointment in my heart, anger is more serious, because you not only did not play a role model, but also introduced them Misguided and disappointed because you could have reached the height of Henrik, but you don¡¯t seem to have confidence in yourself and don¡¯t want to work hard for it. I never ask every player to become a saint, but you must understand that life and career They are closely related and affect each other. If your life is terrible, then of course it will affect your work."


    "Boss, I..."


    Ferdinand hurriedly said that he and Lampard and Mills were in the same mood, and they were afraid that Aldridge would talk to them with this indifferent expression, as if they were completely strangers to each other.


    "Listen to my words! We are all men, there is no need to cover up, it¡¯s normal to like women, but I don¡¯t advocate playing with women for fun, especially when you want to do this, and also call your teammates. On the top, this has not only damaged your own image, but also caused a serious blow to the club¡¯s image. I won¡¯t allow this kind of thing! It¡¯s already happening, life is your own, and it¡¯s going to happen again next time, so please Be ready to take off the Millwall jersey. As for today¡¯s punishment, three of you, two weeks¡¯ salary fine, decentralized to the reserve team for a month. If the reserve team coach tells me that you are not performing well after a month, then you continue Stay there."


    Aldridge turned his head to look at the players of the youth team, and said lightly: "Your punishment will be decided by coach Najib. I just want to give you a piece of advice: If you don¡¯t take it for granted, then ten years later. Twenty years later, you watch some of your former teammates become superstars and become legends in football. Don¡¯t envy you."


    After talking, Aldridge got up and left, and then Najib took the other youth team members facelessly.


    As for the four players in the first team, Richard Wright is the third goalkeeper. This is a marginal role. The goalkeeper is going to be in position. It is too difficult. His sense of crisis is not as good as Lampard, Ferdinand and Mills. People are so strong.


    The three men lost their faces.


    After a night of affair, we will report to the reserve team.


    In the past, they could not enter the first team roster, and then participated in the game to maintain the state and improve their training on the reserve team''s match day, but the training still followed the first team. Now it is better, and it has directly become the reserve team''s standing lineup.


    Aldrich not only punished their salary, but also prevented them from playing for the first team within a month, which also led to a reduction in their income in disguise, a double blow.


    Originally, anyone likes to play whatever he likes. Aldrich doesn''t bother to care. Even if he plays a game of N Feng, even if he is exposed by the outside world, it is only the personal behavior of the player. In Aldrich''s eyes, only the performance of the player on the court is the standard.


    However, the collective behavior of multiple players will directly make the club the focus.


    When Millwall was at Highbury''s pre-match press conference, no reporter asked questions about the game, and all pointed at the Christmas party event.


    Those call girls also sold their stories to tabloids afterwards, and the overwhelming amount of news reports were all news that negatively affected Millwall Club.


    For example, what posture does XX players like, how do they have perverted hobbies, or someone who is too generous and some people are stingy and even reluctant to tip.


    Aldrich seemed calm at the press conference, but was a little bit overwhelmed by the reporter¡¯s acute problems.


    A player Xunhua asked Liu, no big deal.


    A group of players like this, obviously the spearhead will point directly at the manager''s management failure.


    Why has Aldridge, who won the best coach in the league for three consecutive years, fall into such an awkward situation?


    Last season''s Triple Crown, this season''s Champions League victory, qualifying a Mr. Golden Ball, how beautiful is it?


    But less than a week later, he sat on the stage and was bombarded by reporters with the peachy problem.


    What a **** shame!


    When a reporter asked: "Mr. Hall is about the same age as the players, why didn''t he stop the players in the first place? Is he hesitating to participate in such a party? After all, your girlfriend is in the United States, you should also feel Are you lonely?"


    Aldridge was ruddy and bloody.


    Strongly resisting the urge to get up and leave, this is a shame!


    His heart was slightly sad, he could only maintain a serious and solemn voice: "I will not allow such incidents to happen under my management, because this is not conducive to the professional development of the players, the penalties within the team have been issued, Ferdinand, Mills, Lampard''s three players decentralized to the reserve team, when to return to the first team depends on their performance in the reserve team."


    The reporters on the stage did not take it seriously, and some people continued to ask: "So if it happens again next time? Is it still the decentralization of the reserve team? Maybe some players are tired and want to rest, you can use this reason to relax the reserve team For a while."


    Aldridge lowered his head and sneered, then raised his head sharply and said: "If this happens next time, no matter which player I am, whether it is the first time or the second time, Millwall will give up this name forever. Players."


    "Oh, that thing became simple. If a player wants to transfer, he only needs to have a party and invite reporters to attend, so that he will not become a traitor of Millwall, but he will be sent away by the club. Ha ha ha."


    Aldridge was left running with nothing to say, and finally got up and left the press conference. After entering the corridor, he asked his face, Yiwen, who was keeping up with him, "Where did the reporters come from?" "


    "Most are tabloids that run lace."


    "Permanently disqualify them from attending the Millwall press conference, remember me, it is permanent!"


    Aldridge''s life is really not so embarrassing in the public.


    Today¡¯s press conference is more lively than before, but those big newspaper reporters and professional reporters are watching good shows. Reporters like The Times and The Daily Mail did not even ask a word.


    They knew that the tabloid reporters would jump out like clowns, and then they would get the news, the next thing, let those clowns do it, and offend Millwall, they don¡¯t need to do so conspicuously, In Aldridge''s identity, he will obviously stay in Millwall for a long time, and will not be able to stalemate the relationship.


    Several tabloids were listed on Millwall''s official blacklist, and permanently lost their qualifications for interviews.


    The first-team players also knew what happened on Christmas from the news.


    They had no sympathy for Lampard, Ferdinand and Mills, who were sent to the reserve team.


    In particular, I saw Aldridge attacked by those tabloid reporters at the press conference, slandered, run, ridiculed, and even three people who could not forgive the initiators.


    Aldridge, who led them to the trophy of honor The behavior of these compatriots is angry.


    On weekdays, they have a lot of leisure methods, like Southgate, Larson, Shevchenko, Nedved and others will play golf or snooker together.


    Even if women are really inseparable, can''t they be like Makelele?


    Is it necessary to marry a beautiful daughter-in-law and put it in a golden house at home?


    Under the negative influence of this promiscuous party, Aldridge came to Highbury with the lack of major general Millwall to challenge Arsenal, who are four points behind them.


    Wenger waited and waited for this long-awaited London Derby. The war between the arsenal and the mad lion, in the Wenger era and the Hall era, was really a comparable battle of the same level, and officially opened.

 Chapter 285： The most powerful gunman

    British people enter the Christmas holiday, but the Premier League is in full swing, Highbury is full of seats, there is a festive carnival atmosphere, and the Gunners fans do not forget to satire Millwall at this time.


    Millwall was shrouded in scandals, aftermath, and many gunman fans in the stands slogans mocking Millwall, such as depicting the crazy lion as a lewd club...


    "Hey, Andy, the defending champion seems to be in big trouble, do you say yes?"


    "Maybe, they lost to Manchester United and were widened by 6 points. At the same time, there was a scandal on the team. Hall has already punished the perpetrators. It looks ruthless. The three rising English stars are at least. It will not appear on the top field within a month. For them, this may be a good opportunity to reflect."


    "I think Hall still has his reason to do so. One is to protect the players. At this time, let those players appear on the court, it will inevitably be ridiculed and accused by the public. The second is discipline, Lampard, Ferdinand. Mills, this is the main force of the England national youth team. If everything goes smoothly, they will also be the main force of the future national team. For such players, the head coach should be more rigorous. It depends on whether the three players can think Passed, I hope they will not have resentment against the head coach."


    "According to the current information, there should be no. The three players followed the reserve team and had played a reserve league match with the Arsenal reserve team earlier. They performed well and helped the Millwall reserve team get After a big victory, I just don¡¯t know if such a big victory will bring good luck to the Millwall first team."


    "Since Arsenal suffered a defeat at the Lion''s Cave Stadium early in the season, Wenger quickly adjusted his team and no longer aggressively overused young players. After a period of adaptation, Arsenal''s record is good, although now with the leader Manchester United The gap of 10 points, but only 4 points away from Millwall, but also behind the Liverpool, Chelsea, Leeds United and other strong teams, so that Arsenal have the opportunity to compete for the runner-up, enter the Champions League next season. "


    "Yes, especially when Millwall¡¯s schedule will be extremely difficult in the next few months. The factor that is detrimental to Millwall is that the thickness of their lineup is worrying. To be honest, their summer signing is to target the future. , But they cannot guarantee the current results, and in the second half of the season, they will play a lot more games than Arsenal. In addition to the FA Cup, they will have two League Cup semi-finals next month. One more League Cup final, and before the Champions League knockout begins, Millwall will play two more European Super Cup matches with Dortmund. The further Millwall goes in the Champions League, then when the sprint at the end of the season, they The more difficult the situation is."


    Aldridge and Wenger talked a few more words on the sidelines. Wenger did not expect Millwall to have such a problem at this time. Arsenal is at ease and in excellent condition. Today¡¯s game will definitely be more against Arsenal. favorable.


    Aldrich didn''t talk about the party event deeply, and the two quickly returned to their respective positions, waiting for the game to begin.


    Millwall''s lineup is not complete. Originally he would let Schneider rest, but Mills went to the reserve team, Schneider had to drag his tired body hard.


    Larsson and Nedved are expected to return to the team after this game. Aldridge doesn¡¯t like to make the players¡¯ schedules very tight. The two attended the Golden Globe Awards and were so close to Christmas at the same time. Just let them take a good rest during the second half of the season to recuperate and recuperate, so as not to rush back and forth and hurry to train but may not be able to play better, especially Larson¡¯s 97-year attendance rate is very high, and the team went south and went to war It''s time to arrange his rest time more liberally, as does Nedved.


    The average state of Ballack replaced the last starting Lampard. After 21 years old Ballack, the technical ability has tended to be stereotyped. The rest is to accumulate game experience and physical fitness to strengthen and improve the ability to adjust the state, A few days ago, when he was in a trough, Aldridge gave him a rest. It was not the planned return time, and Barak¡¯s condition had not recovered to his best, but today it can only be hardened.


    "Today''s Millwall is clearly not the strongest lineup.


    Starting goalkeeper: Bout.


    Guards: Schneider, Elgra, Southgate, Capdevila.


    Midfielders: Makelele, Pirlo, Barack.


    Forwards: Good Johnson, Trezeguet, Shevchenko.


    Arsenal''s side has only one change compared to the last lineup where the two teams met.


    Goalkeeper: Seaman.


    Defenders: Dixon, Adams, Keon, Winterburn.


    Midfielders: Ovimas, Vieira, Petit, Pires.


    Forwards: Wright, Bergkamp.


    The referee whistled and Arsenal kicked off first. "


    As the game started, Aldridge observed that the Arsenal players entered the game very quickly, the running position was clear, the pass and catch success rate was extremely high, and the attack and defense rhythm changed quickly...


    Wenger has completely changed the former Arsenal, making it impossible to associate the Arsenal of the Graham era with this sought-after person.


    A few months ago, the biggest problem of Arsenal was that the double backs did not cooperate well. The defense from the defense will have flaws against the top teams, the rhythm control is lacking, and the cooperation of the offensive players in the frontcourt has not reached a qualitative change. Level.


    But a few months later, this Arsenal is invulnerable. The top line of defense includes not only an individual with super powers such as Ovimas, but also a Bogkan that attacks in series or solves the battle by itself. Pu, Vieira and Petit''s cooperation is maturing, the purely 11-man starting lineup energy, just like any Premier League team.


    It''s no wonder that in the history of Manchester United, some contemporary stars later lamented that the 97/98 season of Arsenal is the strongest, not the 03/04 season!


    Ovimas took the ball on the right and turned forward to take the ball to break through. Capdevila defended the position. Ovimas easily leaped away with a change of direction to accelerate Capdevila.


    After the success of the bottom, Peter Pan passed the ball in time, and the timing was just right. This was very different from his performance outside the free gunner tactical system a few months ago.


    Ian Wright outflanked the middle and grabbed a header to make a goal. Butt made a wonderful save and raised the ball above the crossbar.


    Aldridge saw this scene on the sidelines and squeezed the bridge of his nose with a headache.


    Capdevila was broken by Ovimas twice in a row, and he felt his defense was useless.


    The Spaniard''s injury came back earlier than planned, but Aldridge is expected to let him play in January, but no one expected the last game at Old Trafford, but Zambrotta He was injured again, which forced Capdevila to play ahead of schedule, and his condition was deeply worrying.


    There are many foreign players on the **** Christmas Express. It is often during the winter break of other leagues that the performance of foreign players will decline. In the past three years, Millwall''s record has fluctuated greatly around January.


    Some old players gradually overcame this difficulty, but young players started to slump at Christmas.


    Arsenal created pressure through two sides in a row. They never dragged their way from the defender to the offense. They hit the air like a storm, attacking the clouds and flowing water. Almost every counterattack can hit the Millwall gate, making the mad lion restricted.


    After playing for thirty minutes in the first half, Capdevila was obviously out of shape, almost completely overwhelmed and played by Ovimas in various ways.


    Jenson came up and suggested to replace Capdevila with Neal, fearing that the confidence of the Spaniard would be beaten in this game.


    Aldridge rejected this proposal. Players need to recover from the injury after the injury. If this game replaces Capdevila, the confidence in him is a heavy blow to him.


    He needs to keep up with the rhythm in the game and continuously improve his feeling.


    After all, it was a bit of luck, and he came back to the first game after he recovered from injury.


    Aldridge continued to shout and let Goode Johnson return to the left to reduce the pressure on Capdevila, but the Icelanders did not do well enough for the double defense on the same side, Aldridge had to let Shevchenko swapped with Goodjohnson to let Shevchenko defend the left wing.


    This time, the threat of Ovimas plummeted, at least Shevchenko''s wide-scale retreat can block the opponent''s internal line, Capdevila can concentrate on guarding against the opponent''s bottom.


    But as a result, Millwall''s attack was almost paralyzed.


    Arsenal contracted deeper when defending. They learned the lesson of the last defeat. Six or seven defensive players alone are not enough to limit Millwall''s overall progress. Even Bergkamp also returned to harass Peel in the second half. Lowe''s organization, which directly led to Millwall''s passing and receiving errors in the frontcourt.


    The whole first half was very passive, and the fans in the stands also saw it. The most intuitive is that Arsenal can hit the Millwall goal and form a threatening attack, but Millwall is in There is no way to advance to the other party''s restricted area.


    Gunners fans saw this scene, before denounced Wenger''s doubt that the voice is weakening, it is not unreasonable.


    Being able to suppress Millwall at home, but lacking luck, is enough to show Wenger''s skill, and he is well-tuned for the team. It also looks passionate and beautiful.


    At the end of halftime, the score is still 0:0.


    Aldridge walked back to the locker room expressionlessly and directly adjusted the team''s tactics.


    As they used to do, the offensive players in the frontcourt attacked the ball with a magnificent offensive cooperation, and they couldn''t play today!


    In addition to the fact that Arsenal have top defense and midfielders and the wide range of front-court players withdrawing harassment factors, Millwall''s own problems are in the basket.


    Good Johnson has good ability, but he still lacks tacit understanding with his teammates. The kind of dazzling offensive cooperation, lack of a suitable jigsaw puzzle in the frontcourt, the threat of offensive is greatly reduced, coupled with Barack¡¯s play. Unsatisfactory, Capdevila was suppressed and unable to move forward to assist, Schneider''s physical strength is a worry, and the difficulties Millwall encountered today is far from being as simple as it seems.


    Aldridge can''t let the team pursue any gorgeous cooperation anymore. One foot kicks the ball, teammates run position, pass the cut and cooperate, and tear the opponent''s defense line. It seems very simple. In fact, the skill required is very high.


    Millwall will play simple and rough in the second half, at least to threaten the opponent''s goal, can not always spin in front of the penalty area and be counterattacked by the opponent!


    In the second half, the two sides changed sides and played again. After Aldridge''s adjustment, the team formation also changed, from 433 to 4231.


    This adjustment soon received a strange effect!

 Chapter 286： Veteran

    As soon as the second half came up, Millwall fought a blitz.


    When the tactics cannot overwhelm the opponent, it is necessary to make a fuss about the pace of the game.


    Aldrich likes this. Although the infiltration attack returns without success in the first half, it will inevitably paralyze the opponent, making the opponent think that Millwall will still play like this, then once Millwall suddenly changes his playing style and rhythm, The resulting global shock is not trivial.


    The first five minutes and the last five minutes of each half of the game are the biggest flaws in the player''s spirit.


    In the first five minutes, different players need different time to enter the game rhythm. In the last five minutes, because the game is about to end or come to an end, it is inevitable that some players'' attention will decline.


    After Millwall kicked off in the second half, Pirlo didn''t pass the ball forward, but slowly walked like a twilight old man in the midfield, evading Wright''s **** easily with a half-turn to protect the ball, and then and Markle Lei made a two-on-one and made Bergkamp go back without success. When Pire took a step toward him and seemed to be defending, Pirlo took the ball lightly and took it to the right.


    Piret was shocked, and the ball rolled over his eyes. He knew that he didn''t need to look at it. Someone must have passed by behind him, Schneider!


    Schneider drove the ball rushing forward. Today, he continues to fight, especially for the straight linebacker. He will naturally be tired, but he clenched his teeth and insisted on a reasonable allocation of physical fitness. Just at the beginning of the second half, he rushed first. !


    Schneider''s dribbling breakthrough disrupted Arsenal''s defense. GoodJohnson walked in the ribs. When Winterbourne had to come to **** Schneider, the Germans seized the opportunity to rush to the bottom. In front of the baseline came the foot pass.


    The ball seemed to pass a big pass, flying directly over the front of the door, and then began to fall. Adams and Keon did not touch the ball, but when they turned their heads, they found that the Ukrainian had thrown off Dickson bravely The ground rushed up.


    Probably he punched a little hard, obviously it was impossible to stop and adjust the shooting action, so Shevchenko directly jumped to the top, the forehead had a perfect contact with the ball, the ball was vigorously like a volley shot with his foot Fly to Arsenal''s goal.


    This was Millwall''s third shot in the game, far less than Arsenal''s nine in the first half.


    But it was such a rare opportunity that Shevchenko seized it!


    Seaman didn''t touch the ball, the ball went straight to the corner of the goal!


    "Wow! Ukrainian header header! This header is so beautiful, there is definitely a chance to challenge the best goal of the round! Millwall led in the beginning of the second half, Arsenal was really unlucky, the opponent shot the third time. A goal was scored, and they scored nine times, hit the goal six times, but missed a goal!"


    Shevchenko helped the team lead by one goal, Odri? received a surprise, but he encountered a difficult choice.


    Leading away, is it defensive or offensive?


    There is still a lot of game time. If it is adjusted at this time, it seems not very wise. Moreover, the team is now playing 4231, and the front line has shrunk when defending. It is already considered conservative.


    Wenger was speechless.


    Highbury¡¯s gunman fans were even more speechless.


    There is no reason!


    You mad lion wins when you play well, and you can lead when you play badly. Mallor Gobi, did the goddess of luck also participate in the Christmas **** party and your players took turns and did it!


    The ball didn''t hurt Arsenal''s players, but rather angered them.


    Obviously they have the advantage, but the result is still behind. Are you **** all German?


    Reinkel said: Football is a game where 22 people play 90 minutes and the German wins.


    The gunman''s counterattack was quick and extremely fast!


    Six minutes later, Good Johnson''s kick from outside the penalty area was blocked, and Trezeguet shot from close range was blocked by Seaman and the ball was caught in his arms.


    Arsenal fight back.


    This counterattack initiated by the goalkeeper from the goal position, Adams passed the ball to Dixon, then Dixon to Vieira, who gave the ball to Ovimas again, Peter Pan broke through the edge, with a dazzling emergency stop Turning the technique to shake Capdevila, then passed the ball to Bergkamp.


    In the course of this series of counterattacks, Arsenal did not let Millwall players touch the ball, as fast as lightning.


    Aldridge watched the players on both sides of the court running, but his eyes were attracted by one person.


    That man was Adams running up from the small penalty area.


    The opponent ran forward at a constant pace, approaching Millwall''s defense line like a ghost.


    Aldridge shouted at Adams on the sidelines, "Bernd, stare at him!"


    Schneider was the closest person to Aldridge. When he heard Aldridge''s roar, he immediately gave up Pires and turned to stare at Adams who had come to the penalty area.


    But one step late.


    Bogkamp, ??who took the ball, made a breakthrough fake, swayed the angle in front of Southgate, and then kicked the ball with a longbow to the other side of the penalty area.


    This was a diagonal pass. Wright in front of the goal attracted Elgra, but neither of them touched the ball in the confrontation. Butt thought it would be Wright''s end of attack. Unexpectedly, the ball was from the front of Wright. Mi rolled over, and when Bout''s eyes shifted with the direction of the ball''s rolling, he was shocked to find that Adams, who was a big man, killed him and volleyed in front of Schneider to send the ball cleanly into the goal.


    Schneider kicked angrily on the doorpost.


    He didn''t blame him for the lost ball.


    But he is more self-blaming. Adams killed all the way from the defender line to the striker line. Who can think of it?


    Last season, the opponent also had a center-back assist, but at that time the opponent was a five-back formation, and now is a four-back. The use of a knife guard is very risky, but Arsenal seems to have such a tradition.


    This unexpected offensive threat is even greater, because the offensive points are extremely concealed, and the central defender comes up to break the goal in the sports battle, which is beyond defense.


    After Adams scored a goal, he slowed down and stood in front of the bottom line billboard. He looked proudly at Highbury¡¯s grandstand as if the king had returned!


    Yeah, how long has Arsenal not been so domineering?


    Now they not only restored the king''s temperament, but also possessed a more gorgeous coat than before.


    The Gunners fans were so excited that they saw the domineering posture of Adams breaking the door and screamed with his fists.


    now it''s right!


    What the **** king of London!


    When Arsenal ruled in England, the mad lion didn¡¯t know where!


    "The Gunners captain Adams stood up! He evened the score for the team! Arsenal, suppressed by Millwall for more than two years, today this game finally has the momentum of court resistance, they have the advantage, no doubt, although they They are more conservative than Manchester United, but they are pursuing goals again and again through counterattacks to see what the outcome of today''s game will be."


    Aldridge held his arms on the sidelines with a serious expression.


    Arsenal at this time is frustrating and more difficult and powerful than Manchester United. Because Manchester United must surpass its opponents in its posture, so Manchester United''s counterattack can make a lot of articles.


    Arsenal, which Wenger tuned out at this time, is mainly defensive, and the offensive relies on counterattacks, making it impossible to start.


    For Arsenal ten years later, even if the positional warfare is gorgeous, but it is in a strong posture, it is often killed quickly when it is hit.


    But now, with Vieira and Petit sitting in the double back, Arsenal''s old gold back line, if it is static defense, as long as the frontcourt players come back to support, they are almost invulnerable.


    After the problem of changing from defense to offense was solved a few months ago, Arsenal had undergone an essential transformation and could attack and defend well!


    Then the game became more intense, and the fact that you came and went was to make the stands repeatedly exclaim.


    Seeing that the game came to the 84th minute, Ovimas dribbled off the sideline by Makelele, who gave the ball to Pirlo. This is a golden opportunity to fight back!


    Pirlo made a precise pass to the ball in front of Barak.


    The German took the ball and turned it to put the ball straight into Trezeguet who inserted the rib diagonally.


    However, Vie stretched out a ball and broke the ball under Barak''s feet.


    Arsenal fight back again!


    Aldrich felt bad, this scene is too familiar.


    It was the rhythm of Millwall playing Arsenal a few months ago.


    When the opponent counterattack made a mistake, he then turned the muzzle to counterattack, which made the opponent undefeated.


    Recycle, recycle, protect space first, protect space first!


    Aldridge roared in his heart, and the players consciously did so.


    Vieira divided the ball to the side and gave it to Ovimas. Peter Pan suffered a loss just now, and dared not break through again. He knocked the ball across the side for the first time. Vieira strode the meteor forward and retreated. After Bergkamp made a two-by-one breakthrough to Pirlo''s defense, Vieira was already facing Millwall''s last backline in the penalty area.


    Makelele was defending Ovimas just now, and at this time he would look back and make sure to put in place.


    Wright attracted the attention of two central defenders, and Bergkamp also inserted the ribs of the penalty area at the same time, distracting the two central defenders.


    Vieira passed the ball before Makelele''s defense was in place.


    The route of the ball was a surprise.


    Neither to Wright nor Bergkamp, ??but to Pires who cut in from the left.


    Pire went inside and did not go deeper into the penalty area, but took the ball horizontally, pulled out the angle of the shot and cut off the long shot!


    The ball flew in an arc from Southgate and Elgra towards the back of the Millwall goal, it was a dead end!


    Aldridge saw this shot on the sidelines and prayed in his heart: slam it out, slam it out, slam it out!


    boom!


    Highbury is boiling!


    "A long shot from Pire''s penalty area line penetrated Millwall''s gate! 2:1, Arsenal reversed the score! Millwall was defeated by the cooperation of two veterans, Vieira and Pire, This is exactly the excellent player produced by Millwall, but in the end they have made a merciless cut on Millwall! Andy, will the defending champion suffer a two-game losing streak?"


    "If there are two defeats in four days, this New Year is probably the most depressing of Millwall in recent years. I have to say that this game Arsenal performed better and their offense was more threatening, thanks to their solid Back line, Adams, Keon, these players have regained their youth and vitality under Wenger. You can hardly feel that the average age of this line of defense is close to 30 years old. Millwall, who is lacking a major general, is in a bad state today. Maybe It was affected by the loss to Manchester United and the scandal, but even if the ball is lost, they are not the end of the world. From another perspective, Hall should be thankful that the team is out of condition at this time, not in Two months later! If the team¡¯s problems are exposed again after two months, the effort for a season may be devastating!"


    After being reversed, Aldridge did not surrender on the sidelines. He risked a forward and let Fanny go up with Trezeguet. There was not much time left in the game. Millwall played more directly. Entering the penalty area, but this style of play didn''t get much effect. In the last few minutes, they didn''t even have a shot.


    At the end of the game, Highbury¡¯s gunman fans were reveling. The crazy lion fans retired silently without any accusation against the team, even if they lost to the gunners for the first time in four years, even if he played in the first class, the cup In meeting Arsenal led by Graham, Millwall won, but today, they lost in the first London Derby with Arsenal.

 Chapter 287： Wrong direction

    "In the same round, Manchester United won Everton 2:0 at home. Ferguson should thank Arsenal for successfully sniping the defending champion. In this way, Manchester United opened a 9-point gap with Millwall. Arsenal despite Winning the game, but there are 10 points away from Manchester United. We have witnessed this scenario last year. It was just a swap of Manchester United and Millwall. The gap between the two teams at that time made the second place desperate. 16 points. I hope Millwall can quickly adjust the state, otherwise it will not make the final round of the Premier League, Millwall will directly watch Manchester United on the home stage to win the championship, Hall once said that if possible, he It will make the ball team welcome opponents who have been crowned champions in advance, but I think he will do his best to avoid this possible situation."


    After losing, Aldridge took the initiative to go to Wenger to shake hands. At this time, he probably could understand Wenger''s mood. After shaking hands, he didn''t say much. He didn''t leave in a hurry, but walked to the court and every player. Shaking hands and exchanging, some players were more depressed, and their mood fell to the bottom, and they did not want to talk much.


    After the game, the press conference was turbulent. Although there was no intention to find fault, many problems were still very sharp.


    Aldridge tried his best to defend the players, especially Barak.


    He denied that if Lampard played better than Barack, it was a fact that the German played poorly in this game. The reversed goal was lost because of his mistake in the counterattack and was caught by Vieira Opportunity struck back again, causing Millwall to lose even a draw.


    Capdevila¡¯s state after his return from injury was also worrying. The problem of the thickness of Millwall¡¯s lineup was completely exposed. Aldridge tried to interpret the team¡¯s problems with his usual mentality. He thought that the loss was normal and there was no Any team does not lose, especially under such a tight schedule, the team is not in good condition, so it is necessary to take the right medicine. After adjustment, the team will be on the right track again. This will take some time, unless it is all the way down The momentum of suppression is the big problem.


    Just before losing to Manchester United and Arsenal, Millwall remained undefeated for several consecutive rounds and performed very well, but the outside world will not be tolerated. Millwall¡¯s glory last season made them the target of this kind of cusp. On the team, many people are holding a good play mentality, don¡¯t want to see Millwall continue to be glorious, and tired of Millwall¡¯s continued success, they want to watch the defending champion grow up and watch this team fall. At the bottom, it was exciting.


    The next two weeks are the cup time. Millwall will play two consecutive cup games, one is the FA Cup and the other is the first leg of the League Cup semi-final with Middlesbrough.


    Aldridge held a coaching meeting after returning to the club.


    In the game against Arsenal, for some time, he reflected.


    Because Arsenal are based on defense, they don''t give opponents room to attack. In this case, they often encountered in the first half of the season.


    Putting the bus is the situation they have encountered the most in the past few months, but when the other side has a large number of people, they contracted for half, Millwall broke through the famine and the opponent counterattacked one or two, two or three.


    But Arsenal''s counterattack advancement is another way of playing. It is an organized and planned position counterattack. The reason why Aldridge reflected is derived from such Arsenal, which was the original Millwall.


    In the first year after the Premier League and the promotion, Millwall played 442, and Larson was a retreat in the double forward. Similar to Bergkamp, ??the two sides have both speed and breakthrough. They rely on defense to give themselves. Fight for the offensive space and move forward quickly after changing from defense to attack.


    This set is the foundation of Millwall''s former life, but now it is rarely played in the Premier League. At least they still use this style of play in the Champions League game, but the formation is different.


    The reason why they can''t play in the Premier League is because the opponents are also defensive. They are defending champions. If they defend, it is estimated that the opponents will be very happy. Everyone will spend time to finish the game, and each of them will be happy.


    In terms of mentality, Millwall is a strong man, which has led to the new aid and the teenager also pretentious.


    Aldridge and the coaches focused on the growth of several new players for the past six months, and finally found a sad fact.


    In addition to their training skills and physical improvement on weekdays, tactical literacy, especially the understanding of Millwall''s football philosophy, can''t be complimented.


    The cause of this fatal flaw was still in the game against Arsenal.


    Aldridge found that Goodjohnson had a particularly large loophole in defense. When he switched to other weaker teams, he could not see the problem at all. After all, his opponent¡¯s attack power was limited, but Arsenal was different. Two Side, Pires and Ovimas, the individual soldiers are all powerful.


    Good Johansson takes a step slower and will be thrown off the street. A second of hesitation will make the entire defense system vulnerable.


    In the offense, whether it is Good Johnson, Duff, or VanderMead, the performance is unsatisfactory, because in the limited playing time, they do the same work: attack, attack, attack...


    In the Premier League''s competition-oriented field, skills alone are not enough. When their physical confrontation does not say they have the upper hand, even when they are not even close to their opponents, the tough battle is undoubtedly a **** exam for them.


    In the conference room, Benitez continued to point out the mistakes of the players in the game on the big TV screen. The other coaches took it very seriously. A large part of their work was aimed at the mistakes of the players in the game. And let them improve.


    Aldridge swam away, and after a long time, Aldridge knocked on the table suddenly, and everyone looked at him.


    "I think the rotation strategy we developed in the first half of the season was wrong."


    "Are you going to make the main lineup go all the way to the league to close the point gap? Aldrich, it is also dangerous to do this, because no matter the league or the Champions League, it is more than six months of events, you must make sure The overall sustainability of the team, once the physical distribution is unreasonable, then in the last 1/3 and 1/4 of the season when the most need to exert force, the team may already be at the end of the crossbow!


    Jenson frowned and offered his own opinion.


    Craig also supported Jenson, saying: "Our rotation strategy for the past three seasons is correct, which not only guarantees the results, but also improves the young players."


    Aldrich waved his hand: "No, I''m not saying there is a problem with the rotation, but that, er, there was a directional error based on the opponent''s rotation."


    Everyone was confused, not understanding what he was talking about.


    Aldridge stood up and walked to the blank blackboard, writing a series of numbers.


    Pointing to 1-14, said: "Before the season, we will eliminate the intensity of the game and the impact of injuries. We will let the main lineup face the first two teams we have divided, which is what we think of the upstream team and the midstream. Team, their standings are probably between 1-14, and the remaining 15-20 will be handed over to the bench, right?"


    Everyone nodded.


    Aldridge continued: "In general awareness, the 15-20 team is definitely not as good as the 1-14 team, so we are letting the weaker bench lineup play the weaker Premier League team. That¡¯s right. But we overlooked the fact that we are the Premier League champions! Even the 15-20 team, they will choose tactical conservative for a draw for points, and we substitute players and The lack of excellent ability to attack and attack, which directly leads to a result? That is, players such as Van der Mede and Duff who have speed and skill cannot play their advantages in the game, nor can they exercise their defensive awareness, They rarely stand the test of the opponent''s violent offense. They have been in the offensive offensive offensive offense, but the offense has been messed up. The defense cannot be practiced in the game. This is the biggest problem! We made a directional error!"


    The coaches looked at each other, and found the question raised by Aldridge somewhat surprising.


    Isn¡¯t it normal to change any of the giants¡¯ teams and let the substitutes play the underdogs when they need to rotate?


    However, many giants simply lost sight of the weak and faced the game in a "Tian Ji horse racing" way of thinking.


    Millwall did this in the first half of the season.


    Benitez asked with a deep face, "How do you think you should adjust?"


    Aldridge wiped the tactical board clean and wrote a series of numbers on it again.


    "The teams of 1-8 and 15-20, the strongest and weakest teams in the Premier League, are handed over to the main lineup. The former is the top contest, the latter is the main attack and the battle is more certain, which can maximize the avoidance of losing points. The rest, the 9-14 team, is handed over to the bench!"


    "That way, our bench lineup is not dominant in strength, or even completely at a disadvantage."


    Aldrich said firmly: "So we have to adjust our tactics and play in the bench. We have to play conservatively and let the opponent attack, so that we can train the defensive ability of the newcomers and improve their team''s defensive awareness. At the same time, we are playing On the basis of defensive counterattack, they can also exert their advantages, making them more and more confident and steadily improving."


    "But if the opponent is also conservative? Like Tottenham, we sent a substitute lineup at White Hart Lane, but the opponent is still satisfied with a draw."


    Aldrich spread his hands and said: "So, we have to let our opponents know that we will be on the young lineup and spread the news before the game. Of course, this is my task. I have to play psychological warfare with the opponents. "


    Benitez asked curiously: "What are you going to do?"


    "Like I said, announce the starting list in advance, and then wait for the opponent''s reaction, we have a group of children in the eyes of the other party to play the game, the other party is still embarrassed to defend? As I said, the 9-14 Premier League ball Team, they are carefree, the pressure for relegation is not so great, and they are further involved in the European war and are limited by their ability. They are just looking forward to a breakthrough in the domestic cup, so in the league, they can¡¯t commit themselves without even dignity. The average age of opponents is less than 23 years old, are they embarrassed to be conservative? Do their fans agree? The wrong direction of our strategy is that the weakest team is actually the best able to give up everything and try to stay in the Premier League. Yes, so if we want to strive for points as much as possible and also train young players, we must change this strategy."


    The coaches nodded after looking at each other. They had to say that they thought that Aldridge made sense.


    The midstream team played Millwall''s backup lineup. At least he couldn''t make a mistake. He also encountered Millwall''s main lineup. The opponent''s deadline was also blameless. The strength of the team was huge. But if the bench lineup is still dead, this If it is impossible to say, the pressure of public opinion will be very great.


    The coaches began to re-develop the rotation strategy according to the schedule. When Aldridge is trying his best to adjust the team''s status, the winter transfer market is making waves again!

 Chapter 288： Total enthusiasm

    In the summer of 1995, Van Gaal led Ajax to the top of Europe, defeating AC Milan, and from then on, the Milan dynasty began to enter the tomb.


    Last season, AC Milan finally ranked in the middle of Serie A. This season, they returned to Capello, a meritorious coach. However, after more than half of the season, AC Milan is still weak.


    Berlusconi as the owner of the Red and Black Legion, the club has a meaning beyond football in his hands, that is to win over the hearts of the people for his political career. Because of this, Berlusconi cannot sit back and watch the decline of AC Milan. The rise and fall of honor and shame are tied to his political career.


    The most intuitive problem for AC Milan''s troubles is the striker. Weah is injured. Cruyvert and Anderson have too low a goal rate. AC Milan needs a striker. This is hardly a secret in the transfer market. Galia Niman World is looking for a striker, it seems that the top names in the top five league goalscorer lists and AC Milan can spread scandals.


    Galliani himself is also under great pressure. The transfer operations of the two summers of 96 and 97 have similar trajectories. When commenting on the summer, the outside world was praised. AC Milan''s sales were beautiful, and Galliani contributed.


    But until the middle of the season, the outside world was criticized: AC Milan bought all the horses!


    The goalkeeper Tybee, who bought it for $6.5 million half a year ago, was mediocre and could not even reach the level of AC Milan.


    The freely introduced Kluivert sounded great, but in Milan, he scored a goal and a slap in the half of the season. Moreover, Kluivert, who was defeated because of a lawsuit, was called a "rapist" wherever he went. This is a direct impression of Milan''s great image.


    The free introduction of Bogarde also gives the impression that he is a capable player, but the Dutch like to talk to the coach''s theory, which makes him quickly disgusted by Capello. He can''t even sit on the bench and spend his time directly in the stands.


    Although Anderson, a striker from Sweden, is always used by Capello as a stranger, Capello has been disappointed again and again.


    Even Zig, the German golden wing, came to Milan and began to go downhill. The transfer itself was controversial, because Zig was obviously unable to shake the position of native Martini.


    As for other transfer referrals, most of them are not qualified for the replacement or simply a rush of Milan, only Leonardo Capello personally selected can reach the expected level.


    In this context, Galliani wants to bring fresh blood to Milan, but also to prove his ability in the transfer market.


    In January 1998, three days before the opening of the FA Cup, Aldridge read at home these two nights, Rowling recommended a novel to him, he was reading with relish.


    Dingdong!


    The doorbell rang.


    Aldrich sat up on the sofa, put down the book and went to the door to open, and saw Shevchenko in casual clothes standing outside the door.


    "Hi, boss, good evening."


    "Come in, do you want to talk to me about AC Milan''s intention to introduce you?"


    Aldrich was ready in his heart.


    Although AC Milan only sent a secret inquiry, it is impossible to complete the transfer in winter, because Shevchenko does not have an EU passport, and AC Milan has no non-European quota for recruitment. It can only wait for the summer after half a year.


    Aldrich didn''t hide this from the players and the agent because it was useless.


    Shevchenko sat down on the single sofa and took a cup of tea from Aldridge as usual. He nodded and said, "Yes, I want to talk about it."


    "What conditions does AC Milan give you?"


    Aldridge asked quietly.


    Shevchenko shook her head blankly: "I don''t know, has the club agreed to my transfer?"


    Aldrich shook his head and smiled: "No, AC Milan is only asking for a price, and the club responded by refusing to discuss."


    In the previous question, Aldridge just wanted to test it out to see if AC Milan had contacted Shevchenko privately. Judging from the expression of the other party, it should not be.


    Shevchenko held the teacup and said softly: "Boss, I can talk to you and I always think you understand me, so I am grateful to Millwall and to you, I I will always remember it, but I want to go to Italy, AC Milan has been chasing me for a year, the other party has shown enough sincerity, so..."


    Some people want to go. As Aldridge is the head coach, how can he be at a loss?


    Shevchenko only used the Premier League as a springboard before joining Millwall. This can''t be blamed on him.


    Moreover, when he renewed the contract last summer, his hesitation had revealed signs.


    There are many clubs chasing him in Italy, but the most famous ones are AC Milan and Inter Milan. Inter Milan introduced Ronaldo last summer. AC Milan checked in Cruyvit free of charge. Shevchenko feels that if he wants to Going to Italy, certainly not as a substitute, but now things have changed, Cruyvert has a sluggish performance in Milan, and Via is injured again. As for the state after the injury comes back, it is still a mystery.


    This type of striker Shevchenko is preferred by Serie A clubs, because he doesn¡¯t seem to have free wings, and he won¡¯t play alone on the court to be happy but free from the whole. On the top, Millwall¡¯s players who are famous for their team and training are more favored by the Serie A team. The difference is Robert Baggio. It is undeniable that Baggio¡¯s talent and ability, but when such a talent is talented Players have conflicts with coaches such as Capello, Lippi, Trapattoni, Ancelotti, Saki, etc. Then, this is the player''s own problem. Coaches of big clubs rarely ask for a free Players outside of the whole.


    Aldrich asked calmly after a moment of contemplation: "Andre, if, if I give you a new contract, would you consider staying in Millwall?"


    Shevchenko shook her head slightly: "Boss, this is not a matter of money."


    Aldridge nodded and smiled: "I thought I could keep you for two more years, so at least you can get a British passport, which is also very convenient for you, but since you want to go to Italy earlier, I understand that in the second half of the season, you have to work hard. Don¡¯t let AC Milan dispel the idea of ??quoting you in the summer. The non-European quota is very precious to the Italian team. They will be very careful in their choice."


    Shevchenko nodded with a smile, and said, "Relax, boss, for the next few months, nothing else, desperately no problem."


    He stood up and took the initiative to hug Aldridge and then said goodbye to leave.


    After sending off Shevchenko, Aldrich muttered to himself: "Fortunately Henrik is 26 years old."


    Larson was also hot, but he seemed indifferent to the transfer.


    He is at the golden age of his career. If he transfers to another club, the new contract is less than 4 years. After all, if other teams want to get him, they will definitely have to pay a lot of transfer fees. The contract period is impossible to sign. short.


    If the trajectory after the transfer ends in failure, I''m afraid it will be difficult for Larsson to return to the peak. This peak refers to his peak of winning the Golden Globe!


    Although Millwall is small, the club¡¯s reputation is indeed inferior to that of the giants, but the competitiveness is obvious to all. What is lacking is the achievements and trophies. Larson is more willing to reach new heights in this team that he likes, rather than go Other giant club adventures.


    Shevchenko is young, only 21 years old, he can afford to lose, he still has a chance to stand up after falling down, Larson is unwilling to do this, his age is when it is time to harvest honors and trophies, not to shoulder any renaissance Milan, in the end can get a few trophies, no one dares to pack tickets.


    Aldrich sent Galiani a text message before going to bed: Shevchenko''s transfer, we can talk about it.


    At this time last year, Millwall and AC Milan were very unhappy, because AC Milan seduce Larson to use some means other than the rules to seduce players through the media, and at the same time privately contact the players, Aldridge was furious at the time, Speaking at the press conference, AC Milan lacked respect for Millwall.


    Galliani is not that kind of self-confident person. Most of the managers who have done a good job in the transfer market are mostly exquisite. They can afford to let go and know when to be tough and when I''ve played with fire again, when should I use what gesture to make up for the mistakes I made.


    So this year, Galliani has been making up for the rift in his relationship with Millwall, and at the same time, he has also used a milder way to show his favor to Millwall players.


    In fact, Shevchenko said AC Milan had enough sincerity, and Aldridge sneered.


    The big club''s recruitment is all over the net, and all the players who are optimistic or concerned are included in the friendly list. No matter whether the club ultimately wants this player or not, the relationship is first established. When you really want it, then hit the iron while hot. It seems natural.


    Fortunately, Shevchenko is not someone else''s spare tire, or he may be too, but with a louder name, AC Milan can''t afford it or people don''t want to go.


    After he fell asleep, Aldridge saw that the phone had text messages, and many of them came from Galliani.


    What Adrich did not expect was that Galliani flew from Milan to London overnight.


    Although Galliani has been busy digging the corner of Inter Milan recently and wants Gantz from the other side, Galliani clearly understands that he has no expectations for this season and will now lay the foundation for a new summer transfer.


    He came to London secretly, and then booked a box in an unremarkable Italian restaurant, and sent him a text message in Aldridge within 18 hours, and the other party sent the dinner invitation to the door.


    Aldridge had telephone conversations with him before. In fact, Aldridge had telephone conversations with the managers, CEOs, and chairmen who were in charge of the transfer in the circle. Because Millwall is a star gold mine, others want to dig a hand , And Aldridge is the person who controls the transfer of Millwall players, of course, to talk to him.


    Aldridge is not a rigid person. He does not sell people. It does not mean that someone calls the phone. He just coldly said: Lao Tzu does not sell. Then hang up the phone.


    Like Moratti, who would call him almost every few months, Aldridge would always chat with each other for half an hour to an hour, and then no deal was reached, but he had established a good relationship.


    In the Italian restaurant, Galliani came alone, and Aldridge also went to the banquet alone. The two met in the box after a friendly handshake and successively seated. After ordering the meal, Galliani could not wait to ask: "Apart from Shevchenko, are other players sold by Millwall? Er, don''t get me wrong, I mean, does Millwall have any players who are not planned next season, maybe Milan will need them."


    Aldridge laughed dumbly and shook his head: "Today I just want to talk about Shevchenko."


    "Well, okay, then talk about Shevchenko. Ten million dollars in Milan, what do you think?"


    Aldridge smiled and took a piece of paper from the inside pocket of his suit, put it on the table and pushed it in front of Galliani.


    Galliani glanced down at the content on the paper and suddenly looked a little ugly.

 Chapter 289： The fledgling Moyes

    Galliani glanced down at the note, the content was relatively simple.


    R: 1500


    B: 1350


    M: 1200


    L: 1000


    J: 1000


    Unit: ten thousand pounds.


    With the wisdom of Galliani, he understood what the English letters meant in less than two seconds.


    These are all quotes from the giant club!


    Real Madrid, Barcelona, ??Manchester United, Liverpool, Juventus.


    Aldridge went on to say: "This is an offer from some clubs to Shevchenko last summer."


    Real Madrid is a rich and handsome man, as long as they are famous geniuses, they all want it, and the price is not low.


    Barcelona left the aliens last summer and wanted to take one from Larsson and Shevchenko to replace Ronaldo''s position, but none of them succeeded.


    Manchester United and Liverpool also threw olive branches at Shevchenko.


    Serie A champion Juventus and Lippi also want Shevchenko. Last summer, Vieri went to Madrid, Bocic joined the Blue Eagles Lazio, Padovano has passed 30 and other factors, but Juventus Sis was not particularly enthusiastic and eventually Inzaghi was introduced.


    "Last summer, Shevchenko only proved himself in the Premier League, but now, his performance in the UEFA Champions League group stage is more convincing. Sir, AC Milan is rich, but not the best one, if I want to Selling Shevchenko at a high price, I will not come here to meet you, the reason why I did not meet with the representatives of other clubs, there is only one reason, AC Milan is Shevchenko¡¯s childhood dream, he longed for San Siro, I hope he can realize his dream, but please do not trample on his passion for AC Milan."


    Galliani took a long breath after listening to Aldridge''s remarks.


    Things seem a lot simpler.


    In the past, he must be more sure, because the players want to join AC Milan, this is very important in the post-Bosman rule era.


    But in the face of Aldrich, Galliani felt that things were tricky.


    It''s hard to negotiate the price!


    Bargaining to death is like really trampling the player''s enthusiasm.


    But if the record transfer fee really comes out, it seems to be worthless, and the boss on the head is not easy to explain.


    "Mr. Hall, to be fair, what do you think Shevchenko is worth?"


    Aldridge shrugged: "At least not less than 25 million pounds, Real Madrid opened 15 million pounds last summer. With Real Madrid''s plight in La Liga today, if I sit with them at the negotiating table, they should not be stingy. Plus, not to mention Shevchenko¡¯s performance over the past six months, it really increased his worth a lot."


    Galliani smiled and shook his head: "25 million pounds? Maybe Real Madrid can get it, but Milan is definitely not good."


    Aldridge sighed: "What you are going to take away is the future Mr. Golden Ball, and a forward who has dedicated at least 20 goals to the team each season. How many goals have AC Milan scored in the league this half? Does the team add up to 20 balls?"


    Galliani''s face became ugly, he said depressed: "Mr. Hall, if you come here today to laugh at Milan and want me to retreat, then you are really not kind."


    Aldrich pressed his hand to signal that the other side was restless, and said softly: "So, how much can AC Milan make?"


    "12 million pounds."


    "20000000."


    "13 million."


    "The gap is too great for us to reach a consensus."


    "A bargain, 16 million pounds!"


    Aldridge rubbed his temples for a long time, then said: "I am a person who likes to make friends. If you open 16 million pounds, then I must add a clause to the contract."


    "What terms?"


    "30% of the next transfer."


    "impossible!"


    "Well, you do me a favor, and then add two million pounds, 18 million pounds, we made this deal."


    Galliani thinks right and wrong, 18 million pounds, this is almost a gamble, but Milan has fallen for two seasons, it really needs to inject fresh blood, and it can play a cardiotonic effect.


    He asked in a deep voice, "What do you need me to do?"


    Aldridge''s lips turned up and said, "We talk while eating."


    After dinner arrived, Audridge and Galliani whispered to discuss "help".


    After dinner ended, Galliani looked sad and said, "I can''t give a promise."


    "As long as you do help me, in the summer, my commitment still counts, huh, happily."


    "Cooperation, pleasure, and quickness."


    Galliani flew back to Milan that night and continued his transfer operation for Milan to make up the pot.


    Aldridge couldn''t sit back.


    Shevchenko''s departure is a complete one. Aldrich only hopes that in the second half of the season, Ukrainian nuclear warheads will be able to do what they want, for Millwall to fight **** multiple fronts!


    Another player in the club decided to leave in the winter.


    Martin O''Neill also invited Audridge to dinner.


    Aldrich has a lot of invitations throughout the year, some are gatherings of celebrities, some are personal friends, he always takes some time to decline certain invitations.


    O''Neill didn''t want to wait until summer to buy Tony.


    He was afraid that Tony''s outstanding performance in Leicester City would make Tony the goal of other big clubs.


    Tony still has a real heart in mind. Martin O''Neill reuses him. He also wants to work for Martin O''Neill. So, after ending the half-season loan and returning to the club, Tony asked Aldridge to discuss his future plans. The second half During the season, he did not want to go to Leicester City on loan, but moved permanently. At least, his salary would increase.


    In the dinner negotiation with O''Neill, Odridge agreed to Tony''s transfer, and the transfer fee was not incurred, as long as 3.5 million pounds.


    Before the FA Cup roared, Aldridge handled some invitations at the club. Most of them were charity dinner events. Those organizers who did not know him wanted to let him attend, and they would send them to the club.


    After processing these invitations, Aldridge looked again at the appointment form brought by the club staff.


    Throughout the year, he often has to deal with the player¡¯s agent at work, and not all Millwall players are under Andrew¡¯s ownership. Therefore, to talk to the agent, you must make an appointment first so that both parties have a preparation. process.


    However, he saw a name on the appointment schedule that is now unfamiliar with the English football coaching circle, but very familiar in the future.


    David Moyes.


    After seeing his name, Aldridge made a special call to the assistant to ask the other party for information. After confirming that this Moyes was indeed the Moyes he knew in his previous life, Aldridge asked the assistant to see his purpose. .


    "He said he wanted to rent players."


    "Oh? Where does he work?"


    "Preston Club."


    "Preston? Isn''t that exactly our opponent for the FA Cup tomorrow?"


    "Yes."


    "What position is he in Preston? When studying Preston''s data, the other coach is not him."


    "Oh, he is the acting coach now. The coach had just finished class three days ago."


    "Oh, it''s interesting. I canceled my appointment. I talked to him directly after the game."


    "Ok."


    Preston is now in the third league, the English League.


    In the FA Cup, they were out of luck and they reached Millwall while still being a guest.


    When researching opponents, Aldridge will not understand the low-level opponents too deeply, generally understand the opponent¡¯s play, threaten the players, and have advantages and disadvantages. After all, the club¡¯s intelligence collectors don¡¯t have so much time. Spend energy on low-level teams.


    The next day.


    Aldridge met Moyes at the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium. The opponent stood in front of the visiting team¡¯s coach in a sportswear. He looked dignified and commanded the game. However, due to the limitations of Preston¡¯s players, he did not play much. Room.


    The entire game, Aldridge did not move in the seat, did not enter the locker room at halftime, let Benitez go, because the team in the first half lead 3:0.


    This kind of vegetable abuse game, the three groups of GoodJohnson, Duff, and Van der Mead have played well.


    And an important factor is that Preston''s morale is low. They are now ranked in the relegation zone of the British Second Division, so the former coach was fired and Moyes was promoted from assistant coach to acting coach.


    This man''s ability is still good. At least before he coached Everton, Manchester United sent him an invitation as a teaching assistant, but at that time Moyes also wanted to be independent, so he refused Ferguson''s invitation.


    As for the later story with Manchester United, er, Moyes is a bit of a tragedy, even daring to take the legendary class, this porcelain work, even with diamonds, may not be able to do well.


    At the end of the game, Aldridge stood up and walked to shake hands with each other, feeling a little embarrassed, and met Moyes for the first time, giving each other five eggs.


    Moyes did not have much disappointment, Preston lost 5 Millwall away, and the outside world is estimated to feel normal.


    Arsenal have also been beaten 5 here.


    "Mr. Hall, hello."


    Moyes now has a sense of humility in his body. It is estimated that when he takes up his position halfway, he is still an agent.


    Aldridge smiled after holding the opponent''s hand: "Go to my office and talk about it, and talk about the loan of players."


    There was a smile on Moyes'' face. He was really afraid of the young man who was so domineering. He could not see Preston Club and did not want to lend players to them.


    After coming to Aldrich''s office, Moyes looked at the layout curiously. It was very simple. The decoration was only four photo frames nailed on the wall. Inside is the family portrait before the Millwall season every year starting from the summer of 94 photo.


    Moyes looked at the players inside with emotion.


    It''s like going back in time to see the family portrait in 1994. At that time, who would think how great are the players Larson, Trezeguet, Nedved?


    Aldridge poured two glasses of wine and took a glass to Moyes. The opponent took it and sighed: "Mr. Hall, your ability to develop players is really admirable."


    "It has little to do with me. The players are talented and hardworking and obedient."


    "Oh, there is no need to be arrogant, saying that maybe you don''t like to listen. In fact, Millwall has a lot of players. It doesn''t seem to have any talent, but now they have become powerful players."


    "That''s how we understand talents differently. If talents only refer to players'' skills, professional football is no different from fancy football."


    Moyes was silent for a moment after hearing the words, and then said in earnest: "Mr. Hall, I would like to loan a few players from Millwall on behalf of Preston. The loan period to the end of the season, the guarantee I can make is, as long as the loan is I will treat the players who come to Preston equally and give them the opportunity to exercise as much as possible. Originally, I hope these players help the team out of the plight, but due to financial difficulties, the loan fee and the salary of the loan period, we are unable to bear."


    Aldridge touched his chin and nodded: "Although I have recently studied the Preston team, after all, you are now the coach, so, forgive me, I need to delay you for some time, you must Tell me a few points, first, who do you want to loan, second, how to use this player after the loan, and third, the minimum number of appearances for the loaned player."


    Moyes was shocked, reached out and asked, "Then we will sit down and talk in detail."


    "it is good!"

 Chapter 290： There are words in the words

    It is normal for professional football clubs to have young players on loan to exercise, but Aldridge is very strict in this regard. In the past few seasons, players who could not play in Millwall, such as Fan last season Nigeria played very few times, and there were also low-level teams who wanted to loan him, but Aldridge refused after considering it.


    He couldn''t let the tragedy like Ramall repeat.


    The loan of players is to gain game experience, exercise and improve their abilities, but this has a big premise, that is, the players have a place in the loan club team and can play their strengths, if technical players like Lamore are rented out The high-playing high-passing long-play team plays the role of high center. Obviously, the player will not gain any experience in the game, and the failure of the loan will also hurt confidence, which is contrary to the original intention of the loan.


    Because of this, Aldridge needs to communicate in depth with Moyes to understand the opponent''s tactical assumptions, the role of players on the field, so that he has a deep bottom in his heart, and then make a judgment based on the characteristics of the players: whether it is suitable for players to exercise on loan.


    Moyes is a Scots, the birthplace of short pass and tactics, and a hometown of football that pays attention to teamwork. Under the concept of Scottish miner culture, the Scots emphasize the team, the whole and the unity, although Moyes will not show in the future. Too much fine football coaching style, but at least it is not a simple and crude football style.


    In front of Aldridge, the champion coach, Moyes is more like a primary school student. When elaborating his tactical ideas, he always uses a questioning tone and seems to be consulting Aldridge.


    Aldrich just couldn¡¯t hear. He was very self-aware and wouldn¡¯t really put up a shelf for the other party. Maybe Moyes was asking for advice now, but he wanted to come afterwards. The other party is about 15 years younger than himself. Not convinced? Aldrich didn¡¯t know, but there was no need to claim himself as a master.


    After Aldridge understood Moyes''s coaching ideas, Moyes spoke out the first name he wanted to rent and shocked Aldridge.


    Ronaldinho.


    Aldrich kept shaking his head, shaking his head constantly, his mouth repeated: NO, NO, NO...


    It''s as if someone is here to rob his baby.


    Not to mention, Ronaldinho really looked like Aldridge¡¯s baby pimple at Millwall.


    The whole team, from the first team to the youth team, coaches and players, everyone knows that Audridge is the most rigorous training for Ronaldinho. When Ronaldinho is still in the youth team, Audridge will have time To see him training, from time to time he has to be called to the sidelines to instruct alone.


    Ronaldinho is also the least afraid of Aldridge among all players. As long as it is not training time, Ronaldinho dared to play a joke on Aldridge, dared to go to his house to steal food and eat, and repeatedly made Audridge "embarrassed" For example, playing the mascot and pulling Audridge to dance on the sidelines.


    But this kind of relationship makes everyone understand how high Aldridge''s expectations of Ronaldinho and how good Ronaldinho''s relationship with Aldrich!


    Ronaldinho did not appear in the first team''s official game after his stunning appearance in the FA Cup final last season. Everyone knows that this is Audric''s more cautious approach to Ronaldinho''s growth, so he has a transition to the reserve team. To avoid being directly destroyed by the fierce confrontation in the Premier League.


    On this road, many players who had high hopes from Aldridge have traveled, such as Pirlo and Shevchenko. When they came to the team, their technical ability was enough to play the game, but in order to adapt them to the English football environment, You must come over step by step in the youth team and the reserve team to judge whether you are on the Premier League stage according to the results.


    To say, among the players who Millwall did not play, who is the most eye-catching? Naturally, Ronaldinho, his first show was so amazing, but was also put on the reserve team by Aldridge, the outside world is looking forward to Ronaldinho''s performance after officially on the Premier League stage.


    So Moyes wanted to rent Ronaldinho, and Aldridge refused if he didn''t want to. He didn''t say he was afraid that the opponent would be used up. At least, Aldridge plans to let Ronaldinho appear in the first-team list in the second half of the season.


    Moyes was a little disappointed. He had known Ronaldinho''s performance in the reserve team and lamented that Millwall was so talented. Is such a good player actually resting on the reserve team to brush data? Is it interesting?


    He then proposed many names. Aldrich deleted one by one. Some of them were young. Some of them were technically incompatible with Moyes'' tactical concept. In the end, he only agreed to the loan of four players.


    Goalkeeper Paul Robinson, full-back Paul Ferreira, frontcourt Mark Bresiano and Tim Cahill.


    They are all players around the age of 18, and their physical fitness is better than other young players. They will not lose in confrontation, but such a loan is a bit troublesome for them, because the club will ask them to take time to come back every week to receive special items. Technical guidance, this is the case for Tony who was loaned out in the first half of the season. Every week, he will return to the club training ground to be trained by Moniz alone, 2-4 hours each time.


    Moyes left with satisfaction. On the basis of not spending a penny on the club, he strengthened the team lineup in the winter. When he started his coaching career, he was very happy to get the help of Aldridge. At the same time I also keep this kindness in my heart. After all, he is a rookie in the coaching profession. Other clubs do not dump him. They will not worry about lending players to him. Even if they are willing to lend, they will also ask for a rental fee or bear the player''s rental period. wage.


    Aldridge found the four players on the second day and discussed the loan with them. In this regard, he was more democratic and would communicate frankly with the player instead of imperatively making the player obey the club arrangement. If the player does not agree , Aldridge will not force, after all, the loan period is half a season, players have to go to a strange environment, which directly affects their lives.


    Fortunately, these four players have agreed to loan, because they are really invincible in the youth league, the opponent is rare, and the youth team competition is also very fierce. Those 16-17 young players, some of them sit firmly in the main position, perform Much better than them, like Alonso, Pedretti...


    As soon as the conversation with Paul Ferreira ended, the door of the office was not closed. Someone rushed in from outside. Before seeing anyone, he smelled sweaty.


    "Boss!"


    Ronaldinho appeared in front of Aldridge in a sweat shirt wearing a winter jersey. Before Aldrich asked, he shouted with joy, "23 goals, 26 assists! I did it!"


    Aldridge was almost stunned by him, and he laughed stunnedly: "Strange, before you returned to Brazil, you scored 19 goals and 26 assists. Did you score four goals in the first game you just returned?"


    Ronaldinho walked to the corner to open the refrigerator, took a bottle of mineral water from it and opened it to drink. As soon as the reserve team''s game was over, he ran all the way. His teammates thought he was crazy. The referee just finished blowing the whistle. I saw Ronaldinho ran for 90 minutes and resurrected and flew away.


    In the winter, there was still steaming on his head. He drank a bottle of mineral water in one breath, then exhaled happily, with a happy expression on his face: "Frank and the German are very interesting. I gave them a lot today. Ball, eh, boss, why didn¡¯t you send Frank and Leo to the reserve team earlier?"


    Aldridge smiled silently, holding his arms to the ceiling.


    Dare to feel that Lampard and Klose sent Ronaldinho assists in the reserve team.


    "They are disciplined and will return to the first team sooner or later. Okay, you start training with the first team tomorrow and perform well. I will give you the opportunity at the appropriate time, but you have to remember that you are prepared from If you don¡¯t want to go back, don¡¯t let your performance decline.¡±


    "Relax, boss, are you cooking at home tonight?"


    "Why? You want to rub your rice again?"


    Xiao Luo smiled and then ran out like another gust of wind.


    From the preparation for the FA Cup match with Preston, the Millwall coaching staff began to adjust the tactical thinking of the second lineup. The road returned to the 442 they had played before, and they were conservative, similar to just playing with them. Arsenal.


    The defeat of Preston was a crush in strength, but the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals was completely different from the Middlesbrough match.


    Aldridge still sent a substitute lineup to let the main players rest. At the riverside stadium, Millwall''s backup lineup scored a 0:0 away game.


    This is a good result, not losing at home, returning to the home game to determine the outcome, at least occupy the profit at home.


    When the Premier League''s battle reignited, Aldridge really put Ronaldinho on the roster and was a starter.


    On the day before leaving for St. James''s Park Stadium, at the pre-match press conference, there were plenty of questions for reporters.


    "While encountering a two-game losing streak in the Premier League and widening the gap with Manchester United points to 9 points, has Millwall started to shift its focus? For example, concentrate on playing the Champions League, or try the FA Cup three consecutive championships!"


    Aldrich talked freely and said at random: "The policy of my coaching team is never to give up any official game, so Millwall will play every game well, there is no so-called shift of focus, that is the performance of the weak. Even if Manchester United have won the Premier League championship, we will still take the rest of the game seriously, because the game itself has other meanings than victory or defeat."


    "So Millville will send the strongest lineup against Newcastle United tomorrow?"


    Hearing this problem, Aldridge smiled strangely and said lightly: "I can tell you the starting lineup tomorrow. Goalkeeper: Bout, guard: Neil, Materazzi, Elgra, Capdevila , Midfielder: Grenchar, Gattuso, Barak, Ronaldinho, Forwards: Van Nistelrooy, Good Johnson. This is the formation and starting list that Millwall will play tomorrow. "


    The scene was silent.


    The reporter who asked the question raised his hand again and said depressively: "This is completely contradictory to what you just said. Millwall played against the bench. This is the sign of giving up the Premier League defending. Does Millwall care about three? The bad effects of a losing streak? This is a very heavy blow to morale!"


    Aldrich shook his head and said: "No, the game is not played, you can not arbitrarily conclude that Millwall will definitely lose. Of course, Dalglish is a great coach, and Newcastle United also has the offensive football factor , I remember when Keegan coached, Newcastle United was called the most beautiful football in England. Shearer was still the threatening killer. He will definitely cause us trouble."


    "Since you also know that Newcastle United is not easy to deal with, why do you let the substitute players play? The main players have rested for so long, why not let them play?"


    "Uh, to be honest, because I want the main players to play a more critical game, for example, the next round of focus battle with Liverpool!"


    As soon as Aldridge''s voice fell, the reporters who had gone back to the taste stopped talking.


    Handsome, there is something in this remark.


    Isn''t this just contempt for Newcastle United?

 Chapter 291： Perfect debut

    The weather on the Tyne River was good on the day of the game, and fans at St James Park Stadium were comfortable watching the game, but they were a bit depressed.


    They don¡¯t like Dalglish. The opponent¡¯s cautious tactical style is completely incompatible with the traditional Newcastle United team. What makes them resent is that Dalglish sold Ginola and Ferdinand, and then transferred to the market. No player can get what he deserves.


    Newcastle United was criticized for being poorly defended during the Keegan era. Now the Newcastle United under Dalglish can''t see how good the defense is. Looking at the Premier League, the defensive level is quite satisfactory.


    The striker''s power has dropped sharply. Hiller was injured and missed in the first half of the season. He has been unable to find his status after the recent comeback. This directly caused Newcastle United to slide down the second half of the standings. The number of goals was the countdown of the Premier League, only Wimble. Deng''s firepower is slightly stronger.


    This is really a sad reality for the fans. In the "Keagan era", Newcastle United''s offensive firepower was firmly in the top five and often ranked in the top three. Now that it is once back to liberation, how can the fans suffer? Got it?


    Today, playing Millwall at home, the fans can''t make any effort in the stands, Newcastle United''s offensive threat is not big, Millwall also actively contracted, yesterday Adrich defied Newcastle United, which makes the opponent very upset, really There was a real fight, but the two teams were fighting fiercely, but there were not many exciting scenes.


    Millwall said it was playing 442, more like 451 when defending.


    After playing the game for more than 20 minutes, Aldridge got up and called Barak to the front to let the opponent give the ball more. Unless you are absolutely sure, do not try to threaten the ball.


    Today Millwall''s offense relies on two flank, Ronaldinho on the left, and Glenshare on the right. Barack always gave in advance before the ball, and there were a lot of errors.


    The two teams strangled in a fierce pair in the midfield. Millwall turned from the defender and then quickly advanced through the sideline. Barack was inserted in the double back midfielder. Gattuso defended the backcourt and guarded against the counterattack.


    Ronaldinho and Glenchard performed very eye-catching today. When the opponent''s offense ended, he turned around and Millwall counterattacked. Ronaldinho and Glenchard''s wing breakthrough was unstoppable.


    "Ronaldinho took the ball and passed it with a beautiful ball over Gillespie. He continued to advance with the ball, inwardly? Wow, he used emergency stop again. Xiang broke through the defense of the full-back Watson, took the ball to the bottom, controlled the ball and observed at the same time, passed the ball in the spot, the quality was extremely high, Good Johnson grabbed the point, headed the goal! Wow, The Icelanders lacked some luck and the ball flew slightly out of the bottom line with the post!"


    Goodjohnson turned his head to give Ronaldinho a thumbs-up. Ronaldinho didn''t see it. He ran back to defend at halftime.


    The colleagues in the coaching staff saw Ronaldinho''s Premier League debut today. Although the game only played for dozens of minutes, Ronaldinho''s performance made everyone satisfied.


    Aldridge kept applauding from the sidelines.


    After more than two years of training in Millwall, Ronaldinho cut off the South American players'' free and easy style of play, but he still plays very gorgeously. This gorgeousness is perfectly combined with practicality. Dragging mud and water will not delay the fighter for the sake of passing.


    Actually, being outstanding is never complicated. Was Messi at the peak very fancy? Control the ball to change direction and accelerate, the human ball is integrated into the perfect state, and it can''t be blocked by the rush.


    But to make the players easier to pass, it is necessary to test the training level of technical coaches. Mullenstin is recognized by the whole club in this regard. He makes many fancy players become more concise when they are superior. Practical, Ronaldinho is a member of the carefully tuned, Van der Mead''s technical improvements are also obvious to all.


    Before the end of the first half, Ronaldinho once again took the ball on the wing. This time he directly kicked off Gillespie with the start running position. After he got the ball, he had no choice to continue to break through. Everyone thought he was still The old routine, ripping Newcastle United''s defense like a ball after catching the ball, but he suddenly stopped and then hit the ball over the top to hit the opponent''s penalty area.


    Fannie, who succeeded in the offside offense, shot the ball in front of the falling ball after rushing for ten meters. The goalkeeper predicted the error and watched the ball enter the goal. Barton raised his hand to signal the offside, but the referee did not say anything.


    "The goal has been scored! Van Nistelrooy opened the record for Millwall. He would like to thank Ronaldinho for assisting him. This Brazilian player is unforgettable and his skills are clearly superior. The long pass of the assist just now reflects his excellent overall view! Why didn¡¯t Millwall use him earlier? How can he be defeated by Manchester United and Arsenal consecutively with him?"


    If Aldridge could hear the commentator, he would be depressed for a while.


    Ronaldinho is in a good state and has strong confidence, which is also accumulated after the reserve team gradually adapts.


    If you don''t care about why Ronaldinho should be used earlier, Aldridge would slander: Lao Tzu wants C Ronaldo to play.


    Fannie ran to celebrate after scoring, Ronaldinho also participated, and the two came to hug.


    Although Ronaldinho Rodriguez privately complained to Aldridge that Fanny would not give him an assist, but the two cooperated with each other.


    Millwall walked back to the locker room with a one-ball lead.


    The tactics remained unchanged in the second half, contracting while defending, making use of two flank when defending to attack, weakening the midfield organization, and it was enough for the double back to play a smooth transition role.


    Newcastle United was behind at home, not too aggressive in the second half, at least they did not press much, but the overall tactics were not defensive counterattacks, so their position in the attack of the positional warfare was quite satisfactory, giving Millwall the wing The player''s playing space is not too big, but it is enough.


    Dalglish kept shaking his head on the sidelines.


    Unstoppable, totally unstoppable!


    Starting from behind the center line, Glencharr broke through the opponent head-on, sprinted on the right, made a fake move in front of the penalty area, then stopped and then cut in, directly pressing Newcastle United¡¯s rear line back. Created a greater free space in front of the penalty area, before Batty came to rob him, Glenn Charles hit the ball on the left.


    Ronaldinho, who cut in from the side, rushed to the ball. The foot ball was too comfortable. Just like training, he took the ball and shot the ball. The ball flew into the goal.


    "Ronaldinho''s debut was perfect today! Not only did he send an assist to his teammates, he also scored a goal that gave Millwall the winning ticket!"


    Ronaldinho shook his head and ran to the sidelines after scoring a goal. At the same time, his hands shook back and forth with a "six" gesture.


    Today, Millwall ruled two sidelines, and Newcastle United lost to the sideline defense. They simply couldn''t stop the personal play of Ronaldinho and Glenchard.


    Aldridge sat down and Millwall played very easily because of a tactical retro taste.


    The backcourt player does not attack, the offense is played by the frontcourt player. The two forwards send the two forwards with shells. This is very simple, and has been used by England for many, many years. The tactics of Millwall are threatening. The reason is also very simple. The opponent does not put the bus, giving the wing players room to play. In terms of personal ability, Ronaldinho and Glenshire are both good players, but in terms of rhythm, the two still owe Huohou, so their breakthrough success rate is extremely high, but the pass success rate is very general.


    In the last ten minutes of the game, Newcastle United broke through, and Millwall waited.


    "Shearer is still out of shape today. He took the ball three times and was intercepted by Materazzi. Now, he can be hit by Materazzi directly. Materazzi intercepts the opponent''s attack and passes the ball. To the left, Capdevila, the Spaniard performed badly against Arsenal in the last game. Today, he didn''t move forward with assists, but he didn''t have any flaws in defense. He found a long pass in the backcourt and found Fannis in front. Truy. Fanny took the ball sideways and accelerated directly to get rid of Albert, single-handed!"


    Fanny quickly rushed into the penalty area of ??Newcastle United in the dust, facing the goalkeeper, the single-handed ball success rate has always been a scary king of the small penalty area. This foot ball hit the goalkeeper''s leg, the ball rebounded out, ancient De Johnson grabbed a ball before Barton and thrust the ball into the empty goal.


    Millwall eventually defeated Newcastle United 3-0 away.


    In an interview with Aldridge in the mixed zone after the game, the reporter smiled and asked: "How is Ronaldinho''s performance today?"


    "It''s okay, almost what I expected, but this is just the level he should have, and it''s far from reaching his peak."


    "Can''t you be satisfied with the performance of one pass after another?"


    "Speaking of this game alone, he performed to my satisfaction, but if he stops at this level, then he can only become a good player. I think he should be more demanding on himself and let Your own name can be associated with greatness."


    "Oh, you''re really demanding of him. Just now our colleagues were discussing, what did Ronaldinho''s gesture with his hands sign after scoring a goal? Was it mocking Newcastle United? But he scored After that, it should be seven pairs. In the two rounds of home and away games, he scored the seventh goal."


    This has puzzled many reporters, not knowing the meaning of Ronaldinho''s gestures.


    Aldrich raised his hands, made a "six" gesture, and asked with a smile: "Is this this?"


    The reporter nodded: "Yes, does this have any special meaning?"


    Aldrich replied: "Well, it''s a normal gesture in Brazil, meaning: hello."


    "Hello? To whom did he compare this gesture?"


    "I think it''s everyone."


    "Oh, he''s a joyous celebration."


    "Yes, watching him play is a pleasure. He passes happiness to the outside world through football, infecting everyone, and his teammates like him very much."


    "I hope he will always perform well in the future."


    Aldridge led his team back to London, and at the same time, the results of the selection of Mr. World Football also came out.


    The alien Ronaldo won the award again this year after winning the World Footballer in the previous year.


    The European Golden Globe prize pays more attention to the performance of players in the European League, but the judges of Mr. World Football are the national football associations and national team coaches. They more value the national team performance and the player''s international influence.


    Ronaldo jumped into an international superstar on the Barcelona platform last year, and then performed well in Serie A. Although Inter Milan has no Champions League to play, Serie A in the small World Cup is still the most watched league in the world. At the same time, Ronaldo helped Brazil get a farewell. For many years, the America¡¯s Cup champion, on this point, from the national team honor, Larson really can not compare.


    Larson ranked second in the selection, behind him was Real Madrid player Roberto Carlos.


    In any case, this result is also very impressive, adding a lot to the Millwall Club.

 Chapter 292： Victory over the opponent

    Before the start of Liverpool vs. Liverpool, Larsen returned to the team and took a photo with the whole team. He was holding a golden ball with a smile on his face. On the stands of the Lion''s Cave Stadium, the fans applauded enthusiastically and chanted Larson''s name.


    The Lion Roar fans organized a banner on the South Stand with the hand-painted Larson''s head, which was particularly shocking.


    After the photo with his teammates ended, Larsson walked to Aldridge and embraced the opponent.


    "Boss, thank you, I cannot express my gratitude in words."


    "No, this is what you deserve, Henrik, and I want to thank you. You set an example for other teammates and made Millwall more famous and glorious."


    The live television camera has always locked this picture, and Martin Taylor lamented in the live broadcast room: "Audrich Hall and Henrik Larson, this pair of mentors and disciples have achieved each other. It is difficult for us to change to the past. Imagine a 26-year-old player exuding such emotions in front of a 21-year-old head coach, but the true story that happened to the Millwall Club has always been subverting tradition."


    After the two embraced, Larson packed his emotions and grinned at Aldridge: "Boss, I will show you today!"


    Aldridge lost his smile: "Of course, this is what you should do."


    Larson returned to the field to prepare for the kick-off. Before kicking the ball to Trezeguet, he turned his head and shouted at his teammates: "Milwall!"


    "Chong Chong Chong!"


    The teammates replied loudly and loudly!


    Liverpool, Liverpool, Liverpool at the beginning of the season when the coach put Millwall at Anfield to hate!


    If Millwall won that game, maybe they will not encounter so many opponents in the subsequent league.


    But the fact is that they lost and let other teams start learning Liverpool''s winning tactics. Millwall players don''t hate others. Although sometimes they will complain privately that their opponents are kicking, but they hate themselves even more.


    Why did you lose to Liverpool?


    It''s as simple as neglecting the enemy, being careless, and being killed by Irving.


    They are always looking forward to the second round against Liverpool.


    Today, I finally waited for this moment!


    Millwall did his best, and it was a good phenomenon that none of the starting lineups who won the Triple Crown last season were absent.


    Liverpool¡¯s strategy today is almost the same as in the first round. Evans is not slamming in the accident world. The points are more realistic. Although Liverpool is far from the leader Manchester United, but there are some realistic goals. There is still great hope for the runner-up. Therefore, direct dialogue with competitors like Millwall is not to be missed.


    This extreme defensive counter-attack tactic is difficult for any strong team, but Millwall has been psychologically prepared, plus the tactics they began to practice a few months ago, and now has reached the stage of free use, even if Liverpool is the third The field was rushing to grab, but Millwall still firmly seized the initiative, making the most of the space on the field to pass the cut and match, and at the same time used the running position to cover other teammates and hide the deadly offensive point.


    The situation on the field was Millwall''s main attack, Liverpool took the initiative to defend, and after turning from the defense to the attack, he directly looked for Irving in the frontcourt.


    An 18-year-old talented boy, the English Golden Boy Owen season has provoked Liverpool''s offensive beam.


    This season is very strange. The strong teams have almost no outstanding players on the front line. Millwall is distracted from the European War. In addition, the frontline players score more averagely. Therefore, they do not have the top striker on the shooter list. Arsenal''s strike combination goals are less than half of the team''s goals. On the one hand, it shows that the strong teams are blooming more, on the one hand, it also shows that the Premier League team is more defensive than before, and has become a famous star. Special care.


    For example, Irving shocked England when he first came out, and now ranks in the top three of the shooter list. The scoring rate is about 0.5 goals per game, which means that he will score a goal in two games. This is not the efficiency of calculating the playing time in 90 minutes. That way, his goal efficiency is even more amazing.


    The last game was penalized by a penalty made by Irving. This game paid special attention to his marking, plus Millwall took advantage of the home to wait for work, and Nedved and Larsen The lead attack line stirs the Liverpool line of defense upside down!


    After the game started, Aldridge let the players speed up, speed up, speed up, and then stabilize the game rhythm at a super high rate that Millwall players can usually achieve in training, and then keep it, their teammates can keep up with this Rhythm, Liverpool is always half a beat slow.


    The players are highly focused, passing, running, and thinking about the next step before catching the ball, whether to pass, break, or shoot.


    In this way, the game was completely under the control of Millwall. Pirlo also took off his "sleeping" coat today. Although the area of ??activity is not large, he is very active in organizing and passing. Precise and commanding Millwall''s offensive direction is particularly threatening.


    Less than half an hour after the game, Millwall completed ten shots. Although he did not score a goal, he was constantly striking Liverpool''s confidence.


    At the end of the first half, the score was still 0:0, but the Liverpool players were exhausted and panted. They repeatedly resolved the danger in front of the door, relying on desperate running and the defensive players to complement each other, able to hold the city gate. Lost, it is a miracle.


    In the second half, the two sides changed sides and continued to fight. Millwall maintained a high rhythm and continued to oppress Liverpool''s defense. When the 70th minute of the game arrived, Liverpool finally couldn''t withstand it.


    There was a mark-and-sight loophole in the back line. Shevchenko did not choose to shoot but made a cross. The front point was missed by Trezeguet, but Nedved unexpectedly outflank the ball and hit the goal. The lying Liverpool defensive players looked at each other, and finally did not tell their teammates a word of complaint.


    Who is responsible for marking Nedved?


    In the face of the dazzling team of Millwall, it is impossible to find someone to mark a player full-time. Is it possible to follow Nedved around the frontcourt?


    "Millwall¡¯s play is a wonderful football from a neutral fan¡¯s perspective, but from the opponent¡¯s perspective, it¡¯s terrifying. They frequently shift the ball laterally to force the opponent¡¯s defense interval to become larger, and Can the defensive line and the defensive line be disconnected through deep offensive, Andy, why can''t Millwall continue to show such a level?"


    "Player, 11 players are unique. Hall puts each person¡¯s advantages to the maximum. They are combined into a whole. Like Pirlo, his role cannot be replaced by anyone. In the previous attack, he passed two Foot ball, but both **** have a very important role. The cross pass makes the Liverpool defense move horizontally and appears to be free. After the ball returns to his foot, he plugs in again, a deep attack penetrates the defense line, if you look alone It seems that players with a level of two can pass these two balls. For example, Barack, can''t he pass the ball? No, of course, but Barak cannot replace Pirlo. The reason is that Barak cannot be short. Such a two-footed ball is continuously passed within the time, and not every forward can pass the timing like Shevchenko with such precision, and calmly crosses in the penalty area. Nedved runs like a wide range Interfering with the defensive player, one did not pay attention, he completed the deadly forward and broke the goal. These players are unique. Therefore, Hall¡¯s team sometimes only changed two or three players, but the game played was very different. The reason right here."


    Ronaldinho sitting on the bench in this game felt a great shock.


    He felt strange in his heart. In the past, sitting in the VIP area to watch the ball, although Millwall played very well, he basically can predict the development trajectory of football from a bird''s eye perspective, but watching on the sidelines today is completely different He couldn''t keep up with the rhythm of the players on the court, and he couldn''t guess where, where, and where the ball would play.


    Aldrich walked to the bench after the goal appeared and called Ronaldinho to his side. Ronaldinho thought he would be replaced, and he was very happy, but Aldrich said to him in earnest: "There will be a long time in the future, you I will sit here and watch the game, but I can¡¯t just watch it, I have to learn, I have to think about it. See how our two wingers and front midfielders run, when to provide opportunities for teammates, and when they become their fatal blows. Ronaldinho, in my plan, your future is not a substitute for Nedved or a pure winger. If you want to become the main force, you must learn to change roles in the game."


    Ronaldinho''s excitement cooled down, nodded solemnly, and then sat next to Aldridge asking how to change roles.


    Aldrich explained Ronaldinho''s performance on the court patiently and in detail through the development of the game.


    Ronaldinho is a very comprehensive offensive player, he is omnipotent, can break through, can assist, can break the goal, and can also organize offense.


    You can''t ask him to achieve balance, that will only make him mediocre, not like it.


    Fixed on a role, it will waste his talent.


    Therefore, he must learn to play more calmly and wisely. In Millwall''s tactical system, he must not only keep up with the rhythm of the team, but also be able to integrate into the team, play his full ability, and also promote the performance of his teammates. Positional relationship, he will learn to switch between the role of the front waist and the winger in the game, not only the position exchange, but also a role change.


    Ronaldinho listened carefully beside Aldridge. In the days of living in London, the most trusted person in his heart was Aldridge. In the face of this young man who changed his life, he respected and loved it from the heart.


    Liverpool lost the ball, conservative tactics failed, their formation began to push forward, Millwall''s high rhythm still did not stop, in a wave of quick counterattacks, Larson knocked the ball back after cutting inward on the left, followed up The Nedvide on board again entered the penalty area, and a heavy artillery blasted the ball into the door of Liverpool to lock in the victory.


    The strong dialogue ended with Millwall''s victory at Liverpool at home 2:0.


    Liverpool''s replay of old tricks encountered different results, even without the slightest chance. With this game, Millwall gave a strong response to the ultimate defensive tactics!


    If other teams still want to defend, they have to think about it and give up control of the game to Millwall. This is very dangerous. Once a goal is scored, the situation will be completely passive.


    Aldridge shook hands with Evans after the game, and then left the club in a hurried interview.


    The hot girl group''s global tour is about to start, Melanie has a few days of vacation, and will return to London in the evening. Aldridge is going to meet her in person. After all, she hasn''t seen her for a long time.

 Chapter 293： Surprise

    The city of London is colorful under the night, and the cold wind at the end of the winter is still bleak. Aldridge rarely drives the windy Lamborghini out of the house. When the lantern was on, he drove steadily and came to the street parking space near the airport, dressed in leisure He in the overcoat got out of the car and waited with a cigarette.


    The street lamp is a little far away, the light is dim, and if the passerby is not close to him by one meter, he cannot see his face.


    After waiting for more than twenty minutes, a woman came hurriedly and could judge it by listening to the sound. Of course, if a man wears high heels, it would be bad for Audridge, and the night road hits abnormal.


    The woman carrying a duffel bag approached Lamborghini, accelerated her pace, threw the duffel bag on the ground, and threw it directly into Aldridge''s arms, kissing without emotion.


    Melanie was sticking to Aldridge like a little girl at the moment, hugged him after a kiss, whispered in his ear, and talked about farewell.


    Aldrichla drove the door to let her sit in the co-pilot position, and then into the driving position, Lamborghini soon disappeared on the street.


    "Hehehe, this one is for you."


    Melanie sat in the co-pilot seat and pulled out one after another weird decorations from her luggage. They were gifts she bought abroad for Aldrich. Necklace is very non-mainstream.


    She told Aldridge that it was a lucky stone, and it would bring good luck to the family.


    There is also a cowboy hat, which is worn on the head of Aldridge. There is a special cowboy fan. In the luggage she sent back in advance, as well as riding boots, it is also dedicated to Aldridge.


    She tirelessly stuffed all the gifts she bought into Aldridge, and dressed Aldridge in a nondescript manner.


    Wearing a cowboy hat on the head, a retro pocket watch hanging on the chest, a series of different decorations on the wrist, and a tie directly around the neck...


    Aldridge''s expression became turbulent since he got on the bus. When Melanie found out that Aldridge didn''t say a word, he immediately asked with consternation: "Are you in a bad mood?"


    Aldrich shook his head.


    Melanie lowered her head and scrutinized herself.


    "I''m sorry, I''m busy with Christmas work and didn''t come back. Although I miss you every day, I can''t make up for reality."


    Aldridge parked the car on the side of the road, then turned around and took out a long handkerchief from his pocket and said to her expressionlessly: "Blindfolded, not allowed to take it off, OK?"


    Melanie looked at the clean white handkerchief and said suspiciously: "What perverted game do you want to play?"


    Aldridge couldn''t help but say that the handkerchief was folded into a strip, then covered her eyes, tied a knot behind her head, and warned: "Do not remove it anyway, otherwise I will be angry."


    Melanie was still guilty in the past. Her work is getting busy, and she is not in London many times, for fear that this will affect her relationship with Aldridge.


    However, she now had a corner of her mouth and guessed what Aldridge was going to do.


    "Okay, okay, all listen to you, do men have this hobby? Play with you to the end today."


    She said so in her mouth, but her heart was sweet.


    I must have prepared a surprise for me.


    cake? Party? New car? Or a romantic dinner?


    She thought about many answers, but none of them guessed right.


    When the car stopped, Melanie listened carefully to the surrounding environment, and Wan Lai was silent, as if she had come to a quiet wilderness.


    Aldridge got out of the car, then walked to the co-pilot¡¯s side, took her out of the car, and held her like that. Melanie hugged his neck and licked him with the tip of her tongue. Licking his earlobe, then asked softly, "Can I remove it?"


    Aldridge stopped and said, "Okay."


    Melanie grabbed the handkerchief in front of her eyes, and in Aldrich''s arms, she looked at the scene in front of her inexplicably.


    This is indeed not the noisy central London, but the suburbs, a large manor located in a secluded suburb under the dark sky.


    Aldrich held her and stood in front of the main building of the manor. The light in front of the door was extremely bright, extending from the door to the stairs to the location where Aldridge was located, covered with a red carpet, and the flowers were in front of the gate. The roses are woven into a heart shape, with the gate in the middle, waiting for the master to push it open.


    Melanie fell to the ground and looked at it all in surprise. Aldridge put a bunch of keys in her palm. When she turned her head, Aldridge smiled and said, "Send it to you."


    This mansion was given by Barnett to Audridge. He himself prefers small apartments. On the contrary, it is more appropriate to give Melanie, because if Melanie wants to avoid the public''s sight when she is on vacation, a suburban mansion is a good choice. And, he has been dealing with the media almost all the time except summer, so he can¡¯t hide even if he wants to hide. This place is too far away from the club, which is really not suitable for him to live. It is possible to have a long vacation for ten days and a half months.


    Melanie said conditionedly: "It''s too expensive!"


    Aldridge stared at her helplessly, and after reacting, she shook his hand and shouted excitedly: "Aldridge, I was so moved, but I''m sorry!"


    "Sorry? Why? Break up?"


    Melanie blamed herself: "It should have been more touching at this moment, but seeing your current image, I just want to laugh!"


    Aldridge also wore a cowboy hat on his head, a tie tied around his neck, and a necklace of strange stones... If he could look in the mirror, he probably wanted to laugh.


    Shrugging indifferently, he took Melanie''s hand and walked forward, saying, "It''s okay, laugh if you want to laugh, and I like you to laugh."


    The two came to the door and stood under the heart-shaped red rose cluster, and Aldridge asked her to open the door in person.


    Melanie bumped his chest with his head, looking happy and sweet.


    Holding the key to open the door, I found that the door could not be opened.


    "Luck is so bad that I didn''t select the right key once."


    Aldridge mocked her clumsily inexplicably.


    Melanie tried the second key again, the third...


    When none of the keys could open the door, Melanie couldn''t help crying: "Aldrich, am I dreaming, or is this a prank you prepared?"


    Aldridge also froze and said quickly: "Try it for me."


    After he held the keychain in his hand, he suddenly realized that he had made a mistake and laughed a few times. He suddenly pointed to the sky behind him and shouted, "There are meteors!"


    Melanie looked back immediately and turned her face when she saw nothing, Aldridge returned the keychain to her again and said, "Let''s try it, the key is fine."


    Melanie''s expression was puzzled, and she took the key again to understand what the man next to him was doing.


    She smiled angrily, humming: "This is obviously not the keychain you just gave me! The first time you gave me the wrong one? Also said that I was unlucky!"


    The cheeky Aldridge did not hear it, took off the cowboy hat and made a flicking movement.


    With a clear sound, the door opened.


    After pulling out the key, Melanie raised her hand demonstratively and smiled: "A success! This is the symbol of the owner."


    "Hostess, please come in."


    Aldridge made a waiter action, then bent over and opened his hand.


    Melanie couldn''t wait to pull Aldridge''s hand into the hall.


    This mansion has a long history. After the renovation, the interior does not look magnificent, warm in style, and more homey.


    Melanie pulled Aldridge around in the magnificent chandelier in the middle of the hall. She asked excitedly, "Is this our home?"


    Aldridge raised his eyebrows and nodded to confirm.


    "This is our home?"


    "Yes."


    "This is our home?"


    She shouted excitedly.


    Aldrich was infected by her excited emotions, and threw a loud voice: "Yes, yes, it is our home!"


    "Then I have to figure out the way here, how many rooms are there?"


    "I have not counted more than twenty rooms."


    Melanie ran up the stairs like an Aldrich wind and began to wander around each room, seeming to be reluctant to let go of every corner.


    After browsing the entire house, they returned to the lobby.


    Aldrich felt a little tired standing downstairs.


    Melanie stood on the platform upstairs and stared at Aldridge. She shouted again: "This is the home of Aldridge Hall and Melanie Chisholm!"


    Aldridge couldn''t look directly at her excitement, but lowered her head but couldn''t make the smile on her face disappear.


    "Hey, Aldridge."


    She suddenly said softly, sideways.


    Aldrich looked up, and she was wrapped in a soft cashmere coat, posing like a model.


    "This is our home, so we should declare ownership here."


    Aldridge moved his foot slowly towards the stairs and said casually: "What should I do?"


    "What will the host and hostess do at home?"


    Melanie bit her lower lip charmingly and took off the cashmere coat, revealing the curve that made her rich and full of love.


    "Cooking?"


    "That''s the chef''s job?"


    "Clean the house?"


    "Some couples never clean."


    The two had come together. Aldrich stroked her face, her forehead pressed against her, and asked in a low voice: "Maybe it has nothing to do with home."


    "It''s you, nothing else."


    When Melanie''s voice fell, the two completely changed from the previous slow rhythm. They took off their clothes wildly and violently. They seemed to forget the tenderness, just want the skin to be close to each other, and feel the temperature of the other.


    There is no need to suppress heavy breathing in every corner of the room. The moaning is ecstasy and the two are tirelessly repeating and repetitively occupying each other''s behavior, and constantly changing the location, hall, study, bathroom, balcony, interior garden¡­¡­


    The newly married couple stayed up all night. When dawn dawned on the horizon, the two were lying on the carpet in the gym. Melanie leaned on Audridge¡¯s chest. Zhang Bo sheets.


    "If we continue, will we starve to death here? There is no food in the kitchen, right?"


    Melanie hooked Aldridge''s neck with her backhand, twitching her fingers around his ears.


    Aldridge looked at the sunrise outside the floor-to-ceiling window and said, "Yeah, nothing. But we can challenge the limits."


    "No, I''m about to fall apart. Hey, how do we arrange this? The lawn around the house is also ours?"


    "Yes, you can build a new garden outside, pretending to be a lady and drinking afternoon tea inside."


    "Oh, so vulgar."


    Melanie closed her eyes and leaned on Aldridge, and began to imagine how to transform it, such as building a new swimming pool and raising some pets...


    During her vacation, Aldridge will spend time with her outside of work every day. For Melanie, the following will be a very tiring global tour, and Aldridge will also have to Usher in the second half of the second half of the season.


    He only has time to relax now, and in the next four months, Millwall will usher in the most difficult time, they have never experienced a four-line battle!

 Chapter 294： World War One

    Since Millwall made a rotation strategy adjustment in the middle of the season, Aldridge has transformed. In the past, the high posture that only appeared in front of the rival Chelsea and West Ham United became his commonplace.


    It also has a "poison tongue" attribute.


    When he wants to train young players, he will provoke his opponents in all directions, which makes him spend a lot of effort, such as studying the historical glory part of the opponent club, talking about it in public media.


    It roughly means: how brilliant the team was once, how freehand and passionate the game was, but now, I really can''t see the shadow of a star.


    There is only one purpose of his psychological warfare: to irritate his opponent!


    Let those opponents dare to play against Millwall''s bench.


    This has advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that the opponent''s anger was provoked by Millwall. People really showed their prestige, and Millwall could not win. It seems that Millwall blamed himself.


    The good news is that this can better train young players.


    Like the first half of the schedule, young players are going to attack and fight hard, not to mention how weak the offensive players perform. On the defensive end, Ferdinand, Materazzi and other players have nothing to do for most of the time. Attack, always be counterattacked by the opponent, don¡¯t attack. And they just got a draw steadily. They can¡¯t stand the test. How can they improve their level?


    Aldrich didn¡¯t care that Millwall became a public enemy of the Premier League. They succeeded. It¡¯s normal for other teams to be jealous. Anyway, the opponent¡¯s bus attack on Millwall is essentially aimed at Millwall. The game becomes more beautiful, and young players can get a better exercise environment, and grow as quickly as possible in more stressful and more complex and changeable games. This is very important for Millwall''s future in the next three to five years.


    In this context, Millwall has entered a tense rhythm since January. Every game, regardless of whether it is the main game or not, is sparking, although not all games have won, but the team as a whole The performance is still worthy of the championship status, at least no horse losing the game happened, sometimes lost the ball or tied, that is, the opponent played better, with hard power to fight to win or draw.


    In the second round of the League Cup semi-finals, Aldridge still used the bench. At Lion¡¯s Cave, Middlesbrough and Millwall played 1:1 in 90 minutes. Due to the strange rules of the League Cup semi-finals, After entering overtime, Millwall had to break through!


    If the 180-minute match in the two rounds is tied, the away goal advantage is invalid, but if the game is over 30 minutes in overtime and the score is still a tie, the guest goal advantage is valid.


    In the first round, Millwall visited the Riverside Stadium and his opponent stood at 0:0. In the second round, they returned to the home court at 1:1. In overtime, if Millwall cannot score, there is no penalty shootout, Middles. Fort will go straight to the League Cup final.


    Aldridge replaced three players in one breath before the start of overtime, and the three young players with plenty of physical energy had an immediate effect.


    Ronaldinho, Klose, Van der Med.


    Middlesbrough is not familiar with Ronaldinho. When they are exhausted, Ronaldinho''s personal play has a huge advantage on the field, plus on the other side, the defender gives two forwards Klose and Fanny. Van der Mede, who transported the shells, Millwall scored three goals in overtime, and finally advanced to the final with a total score of 4:1.


    When the game finally came to an end, Fleet Street shouted: Mad Lion Dynasty!


    Because Millwall¡¯s road to the League Cup hardly sees the main players. Other strong teams do not value the League Cup and use it for training. Millwall is also the same, but the result is obvious. Millwall¡¯s young team is even more Dazzling.


    Millwall is no longer satisfied with showing the advantages of their talent reserve in the Youth League, the Reserve League, and the Youth FA Cup, and it has directly set off a youth storm on the League Cup stage!


    Ronaldinho has become the leader of his group of young Millwall players under 21!


    Millwall made the kid the head of the domestic cup. The league, as the foundation for club survival, is the main force to carry the banner, while fighting for honor in the European arena.


    After the winter breaks of other European leagues passed, the flames reignited.


    In late February, Millwall traveled to the Ruhr area of ??Germany with great attention and expedition to Westphalia!


    Aiming to win the European Super Cup last season qualifier!


    This year''s European Super Cup is different from the future restructured events.


    The future European Super Cup will be held around September, which can be regarded as a championship contest before the opening of the new season in Europe.


    The current European Super Cup is not only performed after the winter break, but also the two-round system of host and guest.


    As the continuation and end of the European Wars last season, Millwall, as the European Cup Winners Cup, will compete with the European Champions Cup champion Dortmund last season for the honor of "King of Europe"!


    Dortmund, who defeated Juventus in the final last year, was eye-catching in the Champions League in the new season. In the context of the departure of the meritorious coach Heathfield, he still overwhelmed the strong enemy in the group with absolute advantage.


    However, their situation in the league is getting worse. Last season, they only won the third place in the Bundesliga. If they are not in the Champions League, they can only move to the UEFA Cup.


    The performance of the new season in the league is even more terrible. Bayern Munich is still strong, Kaiserslautern is suddenly emerging, where is Dortmund? The middle and lower reaches of the standings.


    The two Super Cup games will be a prelude to Millwall''s return to the European War in the second half of the league. Next, they will usher in a very frequent schedule. In addition to the League Cup finals, there will be the FA Cup and the league, the Champions League knockout.


    The league hopes to maintain its title. The Champions League knockout will be played as a decisive battle. The FA Cup will definitely be handed over to young players, but if it goes further, it will certainly affect the rotation of other games.


    In view of this, Aldrich made it very clear to the players before he left Germany: the battle is set!


    We are going to put an end to the European Super Cup championship suspense on the road!


    Although Dortmund was badly beaten by Waterloo in the league, the Champions League performance in the first half of the season was exceptionally good, and they did not attach importance to Millwall who performed better than them in another group.


    First of all, they are Champions League champions. Millwall is blown up by the outside world again. In terms of real honor, the two are different.


    Secondly, they are fighting at home, and they deserve to show their vigor.


    Aldrich took Dortmund''s preparations very seriously and studied their performance in the Bundesliga this season. The opponent''s weaknesses were not hidden. After all, they performed badly in the Bundesliga and were bullied by many teams that are not as strong as their team.


    In the past three seasons, Dortmund''s performance over the same period has a trend that is very obvious: the attacking power has declined and the defense has weakened.


    This directly led them from the championship to the third place, and then to the middle and lower points of the current standings.


    Seizing the question of the opponent''s defense, Millwall played very targeted at Westphalia Stadium. Speaking of the old routine, he was low-profile, defended and then attacked, and caught the opponent''s seven inches to death during the attack. hit!


    Since Larson won the Golden Globe and the personal honor of the second place in the World Footballer, his scoring efficiency has dropped significantly!


    So much so that the media began to attack him for his lack of initiative.


    In this regard, Aldridge has been defending Larson, and even hesitated to fight against the media reporters. In the weekly fixed column of the official website coach, and in articles published on some media platforms, he spared no effort to defend his disciples and despise those slander. Larson''s people.


    Larson''s state, mentality, ability, etc. are no problem.


    There is only one problem: he is too famous!


    As a result, all opponents'' defensive focus is concentrated on him, so whenever he runs on the field and has the threat of threatening the goal, he will encounter the opponent''s full stranglehold.


    His scoring rate declined because of this.


    While Aldridge defends him and still appreciates his reasons, Larson is smarter in playing. He knows that he is the target of the attack and the number one threat in the eyes of his opponents, so he starts to serve his teammates more in the game. , Use yourself to attract the opponent''s defense, cover other teammates offense.


    Milwall¡¯s firepower is still fierce, except that the protagonist of the rifle has turned into Trezeguet, Shevchenko, and Nedved.


    In the first round of the European Super Cup at Westphalia Stadium, Larson staged an assist hat trick to help the team achieve a huge 4:1 away advantage.


    Nedved scored twice, Trezeguet and Shevchenko scored one goal each.


    With the victory on the road as the basis, they can save a lot of physical energy in the second round of the game. Aldridge even boldly decided to let young players play the second game to enhance their sense of honor and belonging.


    After returning to London, Mill Wal-Mart continued to go to Wembley immediately, ushered in the first championship of the season.


    League Cup final.


    The opponents are old acquaintances, old neighbors, endless Chelsea!


    Chelsea''s performance this season is polarized. The League Cup broke into the finals and ranked high in the standings. It was their best performance in the same period of the Premier League. At the same time, the European Cup of Winners has not yet been out, but the European Cup of Winners was originally for For the teams in the five major leagues, the real tough battle is only two or three games. Like Millwall last year, people only remember that Millwall defeated Barcelona in the final and even forgot the battle with Paris Saint-Germain in the semifinals. .


    Gullit''s romantic and beautiful football made Chelsea start to succeed, but the disadvantages are also very obvious. It can be seen in the league that Chelsea is the team with the least number of draws in the Premier League.


    After playing well, they are invincible and unrelenting. For example, in the semi-finals of the League Cup, they advanced to Arsenal in the five-ball killing of Highbury, but faced with adversity, they seemed to have no way, either they were beaten a thousand miles, or were powerless. Turn over.


    The Blues Chelsea lacked a unique spiritual temperament and soul, and today they are no different from the mercenary Blackburn.


    For many consecutive years of strong recruitment, Chelsea has a luxurious lineup and has become a new force in England.


    However, Gullit was not blessed to withstand it. He has been fired by the club, and now the player and coach is in charge of the team.


    Viali''s first coaching debut was the League Cup final against Millwall.


    He did his best to bring Chelsea the championship, before the game issued a bold statement to encourage the team.


    The new coach took office, Chelsea''s three forces served, and Millwall seemed a lot low-key.


    Do you need to mobilize to play Chelsea?


    Aldridge just made some changes in the starting list.


    Let some of the main force beat the battle and lead half of the bench players to impact the championship trophy.


    This is different from the semi-final. The semi-final fell. Aldridge really didn''t feel any pity. The League Cup, all the giants did not work, and Millwall''s schedule is dense. .


    But since he came to the finals, he won a trophy, won a trophy, and lost to be laughed at as a background, he must take enough attention, the stimulation of winning and the blow of losing are too strong, no Not important.


    Moreover, the opponent is Chelsea!

 Chapter 295： Cheated!

    When the League Cup final kicked off in Wembley, the reporters watching the ball couldn''t help but scolded Aldridge: You liar!


    Chelsea have been very hot recently. In addition to playing well in the league, the standings in the standings exceeded expectations, and their elimination from Arsenal''s first promotion also appeared to be more valuable than Millwall.


    Coupled with the dismissal of Gullit, Viali took office, and Chelsea stood out for a while.


    In fact, no one can explain whether the fame brought by the media attention and the fame of the team''s strength each account for a few percent.


    However, Chelsea is the party that has received more attention. At the same time, due to psychological worries, neutral fans and the media hope that Chelsea defeats Millwall to win the championship. This kind of mentality is very strange, but it is widespread in society. People always don¡¯t want to see it. The winners have always succeeded, and hope the challengers can stage a counterattack.


    Aldridge praised Chelsea''s results in the pre-match interview. Because the team just played a European Super Cup, he said that he would still let the whole substitute play the League Cup, which is a challenge for the team, but there is no way. Millwall wants to look to the future, the European Super Cup still has one round, and will soon usher in the Champions League quarter-finals. Their opponent is Serie A giant Juventus!


    After Aldridge calmly told reporters the starting list, the outside world believed it.


    Because in the past two months, as long as Aldridge announced the starting list in advance, there will be no deviation during the next day!


    It was such a preconceived impression that no one doubted Aldridge''s words, and felt that the young commander was a sincere man, and Chelsea was mixed with joy and anger.


    Fortunately, Millwall was on the bench, and his chances of winning would be much higher.


    It''s annoying that the opponent is a little bit despised, Mallorbi''s, all substitutes in the finals, the world, only Milwall can do this?


    Millwall really can''t do it!


    If the whole substitute really lost the game, Aldridge is to blame, especially the loss to Chelsea, the fans are expected to riot again.


    The main force is hard, but the fans can understand the loss.


    But if you can''t make it, the loser will lose a little bit of anger!


    Fans of Mad Lions who went to Wembley to cheer for the team came full of worries.


    They also believe that it is true that Aldridge will send all the substitutes, who can have the bottom of his mother''s heart?


    But when they started to wave their flags in the stands and found out that the starting players came out of the player channel, they all smiled and laughed in the stands.


    "Chelsea, be fooled!"


    Aldridge lost a big smoke bomb!


    All Fleet Street reporters scolded the street!


    The All England-focused League Cup final, whether it''s a TV show or today''s newspaper, is making analysis and predictions against Millwall''s full bench play against Chelsea.


    But look at who are the players?


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Mills, Elgra, Southgate, Neal.


    Midfielders: Makelele, Barak, Nedved.


    Forwards: Ronaldinho, Goodjohnson, Glenn Charles.


    This Nima counts carefully, at least five players are the absolute main force!


    And Barack and Makelele¡¯s double midfielders, Elgra and Southgate¡¯s double centreback combination, this is a backcourt partner with no defensive running-in problems!


    And compared to the combination of Pirlo, Barack and Makelele, the defensive hardness has increased by at least one grade!


    Neil was the main force before. After a serious injury return, he played the role of Wan Jinyou this season. Except for the goalkeeper in the backcourt, his performance was very stable. He was in the left back position. The problem is not big. He started from this position. . Mills defended and attacked weakly. Schneider played Dortmund in the last game. He was very tired on the right and straight up and down. He was right to play. Overall, the configuration of Millwall''s four backs and double backs is definitely top. of.


    Cheated!


    Aldridge, you big bastard!


    Aldridge felt awkward today.


    It''s the weirdest game he has ever coached.


    Before the game, he and Viali shook hands, and then the other took off his coat, wearing a jersey, twisted to prepare for the game.


    The seat of the Chelsea head coach is empty.


    Viali player and coach, this game played in person!


    Aldrich habitually observes the opponent''s team players on the sidelines and feels uncomfortable as soon as he looks across Viali''s face.


    "Oh, all of us have been shaved by Hall. Looking at the starting lineup he sent today, the outside discussion is a joke."


    "His smoke bomb confuses everyone, just don''t know if Viali is fooled."


    "I think this will definitely disrupt all of Chelsea''s pre-game deployments, and I will compare my heart. If I am Viali, I will be afraid of the other 11 main players. The tactical play must be targeted, but if it is to fight each other The bench lineup, the tactical layout must be completely different. To be honest, Chelsea''s strength has not yet reached the opponent''s face, as long as you play your own style to ensure the victory."


    "Then the game situation will develop today."


    ...


    In the finals, morale must be much higher than usual.


    In addition, Millwall put smoke bombs, Chelsea slammed his opponent to kill his opponent in one breath, and suddenly the scene changed, and Viali was very entangled.


    Is it the same?


    The game is about to start, how to change? At this time, if the whole team can''t unify their thoughts and lead to self-disruption, wouldn''t Millwall succeed?


    Chelsea finally chose to implement the pre-match layout and attacked from the beginning of the game!


    With their offensive firepower approaching 2 goals per game this season, they have given them great confidence.


    There is no unbreakable gate!


    Millwall played well from the start of the game.


    None of the players on the field are Wu Xiameng. They have seen the big scene in the past two years. The main players have also played many finals and won many championships. Their calmness on the field has reflected the influence of the championship temperament. With other young players, their psychological pressure on the final stage is not so big, anyway, there is a big buddy backing up.


    Chelsea attacked fiercely, pressing Millwall to play, and each player was very active in running, paying special attention to the return from defense to attack.


    Millwall''s formation contracted and he counterattacked his opponent. In the first half, he targeted the right and the right. He was determined to explode the opponent''s left defense!


    Both Barak and Nedved closed in the midfield and backcourt. Hierarchical positions also attracted opponents'' defensive attention in the counterattack, but today the ball is not given to them.


    Rarely, Ronaldinho appeared in the front waist position in the counterattack and was doing the work of the front waist organization.


    Cooperating with Glenchar on the right, he frequently threatened on the right.


    However, only Good Johnson is on the front line, and Glennshire can create a threat, but it cannot reach a fatal level.


    Aldridge sat with his chin up to watch the ball, his expression fluctuating.


    From the scene, Chelsea pressed Millwall to attack, and their players were more active and hard-working.


    When Millwall attacked, there were only two or three players. Barak and Nedved did not go up. Ronaldinho was only active in the midfield area.


    But probably no one is deeply aware of a problem: the overall formation is involved.


    Millwall is like a mountain. Most players stay in the middle and protect the goal in the fortress. Chelsea is like a spring. When attacking, it is attacked. When defending, Millwall is afraid of recovery.


    The role of Glenn Charles on the wing is very obvious, that is, the depth of attack. He can drive the ball from the wing and break through to the bottom line. Even if he can¡¯t give a good shot to the well-marked Good Johnson, it can be He and Goodjohnson''s offensive in the frontcourt caused Chelsea''s seven or eight players to run back in the second half to defend.


    This is a severe test for physical exertion. Even if it can last for 90 minutes, but the further the game is dragged, the minimum burst will start a short distance sprint, and there will be a clear difference.


    Viali is a good player, but not a top coach, at least he has not proved it.


    Aldridge certainly is not as good as him. One hundred Aldridge has the ability to play together. I am afraid he is still not as good as him.


    But again, in terms of coaching ability, Aldridge has been immersed in it for more than ten years. He is also confident that he is stronger than Viali, especially how much can Viali play on the court now. Mind thinking from the position of the head coach to think about the overall situation?


    The other party is now a bit like carrying a handle, raising his sword and ordering: Brothers, rush!


    But the head coach really can''t just rely on blood.


    In the first half, the score was 0:0 and both parties returned to the locker room.


    In the second half, Chelsea seemed to be aware of Millwall''s tactical intentions, and began to converge, to save energy and energy consumption.


    They couldn''t attack for a long time in the first half, and realized that Millwall''s defense was excellent. They didn''t get a decent chance to hit the door, but they were tired enough to go back and forth on both ends of the attack and defense.


    When Aldridge saw Chelsea''s attitude from the second half on the sidelines, he turned his head directly and smiled at Benitez: "We won."


    Benitez said with a stretched face: "It''s better to be careful."


    "The first half is a game. In the second half, we dominate the game."


    Aldrich got up and walked to the sidelines after the talk. Chelsea hit the wall in the first half and closed in the second half. Not only did the situation reverse on the court, but the psychological blow to them was also huge.


    Millwall still made a fuss on the right in the second half. With the premise of Chelsea''s recovery, the full-backs assisted boldly, and Glennshire''s play shined tremendously.


    His characteristic is a breakthrough, so suddenly, it makes Chelsea''s defense on the left turn upside down, making them have to shift the focus of the defense to the left.


    When the seventieth minute of the game arrived, Aldridge replaced VanderMead with Glenn Charles.


    When he came off the field, Aldridge took the initiative to hug him and praised his performance today. Although he didn''t score or assist, he completely implemented the tactical arrangement and achieved results.


    Van der Mead''s appearance was a signal. Millwall took the initiative to suppress the offense for up to seventy minutes. The team''s players, except Goodjohnson, are still full of energy, and the most expensive Glenchard also came off.


    Barak is avant-garde from the premise of the lower back, Nedved returns to the front waist position, the God of War returns!


    Ronaldinho returned to the winger position and began to completely release the offense. Van der Mede contracted to play the wing forward. On the one hand, this is the defense, on the other hand, the tactics require him to make a series of responses.


    Millwall stopped playing on the right, and the offensive started from the center and left.


    Chelsea''s right defense, which had not been impacted for 70 minutes, suddenly discovered that Ronaldinho no longer organized the offense, but played the role of offensive knife, which made the Chelsea defense very uncomfortable.


    Ronaldinho loves Chelsea, very much, seeing Chelsea will evoke wonderful memories.


    Last season''s appearance in the FA Cup final was his career debut and he scored.


    Today, he also wants to leave a good memory!

 Chapter 296： Trophy Harvester

    From the 70th minute of the game, Millwall fully pressed Ursi in the attack. The further the game was dragged, the more the two teams performed differently, and the gap was obvious.


    Millwall played better and better, and Chelsea couldn''t even fight back. The previous energy consumption began to intuitively affect their performance.


    Ronaldinho''s personal breakthrough and breakthrough threats in a small area are huge. Just over 80 minutes after the game, he broke through Petrescu before the penalty area and then suddenly had a pause, which made Chelsea overall. There has also been a change in rhythm.


    After a pause, Ronaldinho passed the ball forward, the ball jumped lightly, crossed a parabolic trajectory and fell to the left of the penalty spot.


    Duberg just turned around to grab the spot, but someone around him was faster than him.


    Crazy Lion God of War, Nedved!


    Elegant blonde hair, determined eyes, and brave body struck Chelsea''s defense like steel!


    Ronaldinho and Nedved''s passing timing is just right. Nedved rushed forward, and the Chelsea defensive player turned back to chase, which was obviously slow.


    Moreover, Ronaldinho¡¯s rhythmic pause was wonderful, which made Chelsea¡¯s defensive players pause for a while. This time, Nedvide took the lead when he entered the penalty area.


    Without waiting for the ball to land, Nedved volleyed!


    Dehuye made a subconscious save, and the palm hit the ball, but the direction of the ball changed after the refraction was not large, and it flew into the goal of Chelsea!


    "In 81 minutes, Millwall took the lead! The most recent goal was Nedved. After puncturing the Dortmund gate twice in the last game, the Czech scored again today! Millwall is away from this season. The first champion has less than 10 minutes left."


    Nedved screamed after scoring a goal, saluting the fans in the stands.


    Champion, champion, we were the champion last season, and we will remain the champion this season!


    This goal hit Chelsea players a lot and hit the fans even more.


    They were looking forward to it for nearly thirty years, and the championship trophy was within reach, but they were destroyed by Millwall again and again, which made their hatred for Millwall even more memorable.


    Viali also made a substitution and replaced Zola to strengthen the offense while encouraging players to not give up.


    Aldridge stood on the sidelines with hands in his pockets, and without saying that, Nedved knew what to do.


    With players like Nedved, Aldridge really feels his blessing.


    An impeccable player who was arranged by him to play the midfield but could do defense!


    Even in the era after ten years, in an environment where players have a higher balance between offense and defense, it is unlikely that there will be many midfielders like Nedved.


    Chelsea counterattacked, but it was already the end of the crossbow and turned around. At the last moment of the game, Ronaldinho took Van Demeide''s oblique long flyer knife to the meeting. After seeing Dhuye abandoned the door, he chose to shoot outside the penalty area. !


    "Ronaldinho''s long-range shot! Dehouye must not be able to recover, oh, it''s a pity, this footshot actually hit the beam after rebounding on the ground and hit the beam again. Dehuye ran back and will Hug the ball."


    Ronaldinho saw that the ball didn''t advance, he was angry and smiling, shook his head and hurried back.


    In the end, Chelsea failed to rewrite the score. Millwall beat Chelsea by one goal and won the first championship trophy of the season.


    "The 97/98 season of the English League Cup was born, the champion was Millwall! Although Chelsea performed well in this game, on the tactical level, it was Hall¡¯s victory over Viali. Recall that two years ago , 95/96 season League Cup final, Millwall and Aston Villa battle, today Chelsea is very similar to Millwall at that time, lack of honor, eager for success, I hope to eat the opponent from the first minute of the game, In that game, Millwall eventually won by reversal. Chelsea had bad luck. Their opponent was not Aston Villa, but Millwall."


    "Yes, today Milwall is unhurried and shows a strong temperament. They do not fear the other party''s offense and control the game rhythmically. They will not be anxious because the other party''s offense is strong or they have not scored. They know they will score. In the first half, the opponent''s physical energy was consumed. In the second half of the second half, he suddenly exerted force. The score is only 1:0, but the number of threatening offenses created by Millwall in more than 20 minutes is a threat created by Chelsea. Several times offensive. A good player may not be a good coach. Viali just took office, and we can¡¯t demand too much from him. That¡¯s the decision of the Chelsea club. Outsiders can¡¯t interfere, but from an objective point of view, Viali In front of Hall, like a pupil, Hall gave him a lesson today."


    ...


    After winning the League Cup, Aldridge did not get overly excited after the game and hugged and celebrated with each player.


    This season their promotion to the League Cup has been easy, without encountering serious challenges, which is the biggest factor to win the championship.


    When the awards were over, Ronaldinho took a photo with Aldridge. He and Aldridge held the side of the small trophy of the League Cup together, and Ronaldinho, with a big buck, showed great pleasure in the other hand than the thumb.


    Aldridge and the players thanked the fans who helped the field. For winning the championship, the trophy is important, but the mental stimulation is more important. When a series of battles is about to be ushered in, a championship can be used to boost morale. The team is an effective stimulant.


    The next day, Fleet Street gave Aldridge a new title: Trophy Harvester!


    Aldrich himself did not know how many nicknames he had.


    Coach killer, civil war expert, derby demon...


    Millwall, who has not had an important championship trophy in the past 100 years of history, has harvested two League Cups, two FA Cups, one Premier League championship, and one European Winners Cup when Aldridge has coached for less than four years. The championship trophy, six heavy trophies made Aldridge complete transformation, he is no longer just because of his youth in the English football, but has been fully affirmed, the outside world has won him the height, has As much as Manchester United coach Ferguson.


    "The Sun" even exaggerated the production of a picture as the headline of the football sector.


    In that picture is a Q version of Aldridge. Although he is dressed in a suit and leather, he is more like a cute child. He has three trophies, league, FA Cup and league cup in front of him.


    In the Q version, Aldridge''s chin frowned, and there was text on his head explaining his distress: Should I take one, two, or three?


    The headline at the top is: the troubles of each season.


    The unproductive newspaper also designed cartoon children sitting in two rows below, no more than two, and there are exactly 19 people in each of the two rows. Each person is wearing a different jersey, representing the other 19 clubs in the Premier League. They look up at the top. Aldridge.


    The sales of The Sun on this day were staggering. Many fans could not help but see the headlines on the cover, but they also offended people, especially the fans of 19 other clubs.


    Aldridge is helpless. He likes fame because it will make it easier for him to manage the club, but he does not want to be a public enemy, but Fleet Street wants him to be a public enemy.


    He became a public enemy, which means that he will face a lot of wars, so that the news will roll in.


    With the good momentum of winning the League Cup, Millwall ushered in Dortmund again at Wembley, the second round of the European Super Cup started.


    This time Aldridge sent a large number of young players, guessing that the opponent will play more aggressive in order to make a comeback, Millwall will use a defensive counterattack tactic.


    However, Aldridge overestimated the pressure resistance of young players in the big game, the defense is still reliable, and the offense is a mess.


    Duff obviously played abnormally, and the ball on the wing was either a big trip or a ball control error.


    Fortunately, the defensive line of the bench is not fragile. Gattuso, Materazzi, Ferdinand are all players that can be trusted.


    After Ferdinand was sent to the reserve team for Christmas, he and Mills and Lampard helped the reserve team to win and win in a month. With an active and hard training attitude and a focus on the reserve team, they won Audrey seriously Strange trust.


    At the same time, after returning to the first team, they took care of themselves and reintegrated into the team through their professionalism in their spare time.


    Millwall fell behind by two goals in the game. After adjusting in the second half, Fanny pulled one back. When the total score reached 5:3, Dortmund was discouraged.


    In the end, Millwall won the European Super Cup championship at Wembley.


    As the continuation of last season, after Millwall won the championship, on the Wembley Stadium stands, the fans made the slogan: Five crowns!


    League, FA Cup, European Winners Cup, European Super Cup, Community Shield.


    Millwall won a total of five championship trophies in the 96/97 season!


    Aldridge is known as the trophy harvester, and it is really not aimless.


    But he was too late to celebrate, and he had to keep his head clear at all times, because a powerful enemy was about to come to London for a fierce fight!


    Serie A giants, Juventus Zebra Legion!


    When the Champions League quarter-final was about to kick off, Millwall fell to third place in the league.


    It''s not that they haven''t performed well in the past two months. They have narrowed the points gap with Manchester United, only 7 points, but another team that was originally behind them has become more courageous and has an unstoppable sign.


    Wenger''s Arsenal stepped into a consecutive battle after winning in February and will win every battle!


    Overtake Millwall by 2 points, only 5 points left with Manchester United.


    Aldridge has no way to deal with this. This is the case with the league. You can only make yourself perform better to ensure that you win the championship.


    Millwall has finished two league games with Arsenal this season, one win and one loss. If he wants to snipe Arsenal, he has no chance.


    Millwall''s young lineup occasionally played out two draws, and the score lost was 4 points, which is the price. The cruel Champions League knockout has also begun, and Millwall has no energy to balance the league.


    In this regard, Aldridge was very hard-mouthed at the press conference: Millwall has not yet been out, the league is temporarily ranked third, the gap with Manchester United is only 7 points, there are only 10 rounds left in the league, Manchester United can win 8 games , The champion they took away, won''t win 8 games, then let''s wait and see.


    He cannot show weakness, otherwise it will weaken the young players'' aggressiveness in the game.


    Fleet Street is very puzzled about this. They all feel that Millwall can reach this point this season, which is already amazing.


    You want to attack the Champions League, but also to train young people, do you have to successfully defend the league?


    The outside world believes that Millwall''s goals in the league this season should be realistic, based on the results of the Champions League knockout.


    If you are out of the game against Juventus, then you will fully impact the league''s defending, and there will be chases. After all, the main energy is no problem.


    But if the Juventus pass is passed, Millwall''s realistic goal in the league should be the runner-up to ensure the qualification of the Champions League next season.


    Anyway, it is impossible to give up the Champions League, really eliminated Juventus, that is, the semi-finals, put the knife around Aldridge''s neck, he will not give up!

 Chapter 297： Challenge the Throne

    After the Champions League group stage qualifying this season, it was the quarter-finals, the draw division, there is no avoidance of the same team in the country, there is no group first against the group second, after all, there are six teams that are the first group qualifying.


    The three German teams advanced strongly, but the lottery was tragic, all in one and a half districts, plus a Real Madrid.


    Millwall and Juventus, Manchester United and Monaco, four teams in the same half.


    The situation in the two halves is quite similar. To reach the finals, there will inevitably be a fierce battle. Millwall will play the Champions League two years ago. Last season¡¯s runner-up Juventus, only listen to Juventus in the Champions League in the past two years. Know the strength of this opponent!


    At the press conference before the game, Fleet Street was relatively pessimistic, thinking that Millwall''s luck was back home, and facing Juventus in the sky, there was little hope of promotion.


    From player strength to coaching level, Juventus'' advantage is obvious. Although Aldridge is highly praised, he can''t really compare with the famous coach of Lippi such as Champions League champion and Serie A.


    In the final of the League Cup, smoke bombs were put on, and before the psychological warfare in the league, Aldridge came to the Champions League, low-key and pragmatic. At the press conference, even if the media from Italy had the "over the dragon" momentum Force him to ask the goal of the game and compare the strength of the two teams.


    Aldridge admitted frankly: "Juventus is a giant club in Italy. First of all, they have a great coach. The achievements of coach Lippi make me envious. Juventus'' lineup is also very powerful. In recent years, they have been in Serie A. The achievements in the Champions League are glorious. You think Millwall is weaker than Juventus. I don¡¯t refute. In fact, we do have a gap with Juventus. Judging from the ability and experience of players, Juventus is stronger. If I emphasize that Millwall is stronger than the opponent or is on the same level, I am afraid that fans around the world will think that I am too arrogant. However, football games are often not strong winners, Millwall wants to advance, first Take the courage and determination to advance to death! My players are eager for honor, the European Champions Cup, in front of this club''s supreme honor, of course, we must take the super fighting will to go further, if we are destined to be eliminated by Juventus Then, the game at Wembley and the Alpi Stadium is our final! Losing is not terrible, and being eliminated is not the end of the world, but Millwall will have to leave his head even if he loses!"


    This kind of low-spirited speech has won unanimous praise from the media.


    Even the Italian media who had mocked Aldridge before thought that opponents like Millwall deserved respect.


    The style of a coach often reflects the style of the club. Moreover, Audridge''s identity is not only the coach. On the stage of the UEFA Champions League, he sets his position very clearly.


    It feels humble, but it does not make him feel confident.


    I thought that when he met Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona last year, Aldridge never uttered any rhetoric. The young commander gave his opponent enough respect. As for whether the opponent respected him, he did not mind, just like Barcelona¡¯s Coach Van Gaal defies him, he hasn''t fought back in the public.


    Fair and comfortable, Aldridge is not a chameleon, he is not a gentleman, he is a gentleman, he is a scumbag, he is a rogue, he has his own principles, others like to ridicule him, belittle him, defame him, maybe not a personal grudge, It''s psychological warfare. It doesn''t matter. The manners he displayed gave Millwall a special spiritual temperament.


    Juventus coach Lippi also talked about the importance of Millwall when talking about the confrontation between the two teams. He believes that the England team has begun a full recovery. Manchester United reached the semi-finals last year and this year in the group stage In the midst, Manchester United let Juventus endure hardships and advanced to the knockout tournament hard, while Millwall was the Premier League champion last season and is comparable to Manchester United in strength. More importantly, Millwall is young, motivated and players They and Aldridge are also teachers and friends. In adversity, the general can always overcome the difficulties together. Juventus wants to advance and must not underestimate each other.


    When the day of the game came, Wembley''s tickets sold out early. Not only were fans of the Lions, many neutral fans were eager to walk into Wembley to watch this peak matchup.


    Millwall was the Premier League champion last season. This season''s UEFA Champions League group stage is in full swing. Juventus dominated the Serie A in the world''s first league. At the same time, in the past two years, the Champions League champion and the Champions League runner-up, said Juventus is the strongest in Europe. The team is not an exaggeration. Even if some people disagree, it is undoubted that the top three teams in Europe are among the top three.


    What kind of spark will the two teams collide with each other?


    Compared with the other three quarter-final matches, this Millwall vs Juventus battle is the most watched game.


    Manchester United vs Monaco


    Leverkusen vs Real Madrid


    Bayern Munich vs Dortmund


    These three games are far less impressive than Millwall and Juventus'' focus battle.


    At the beginning of the Chinese lantern, Wembley Stadium shined the audience.


    The players of Millwall and Juventus warmed up before the match, the substitute players sat directly in the bench, and the starting players returned to the locker room.


    Aldridge stood in the locker room, gazing calmly at the blank tactical board, as if contemplating.


    When the starting 11 players were all in the locker room to change the jersey for the official game, everyone looked firmly at Aldridge.


    He turned around and opened his mouth lightly.


    "From the day I took over the team, every morning when I woke up, I asked myself a few questions: What is Millwall missing? How far is it from the world''s first? Every day, I ask myself this way, and then myself Thinking about the answers while washing my face, brushing my teeth and taking a shower, day after day, year after year, until recently, I asked myself these questions again, and could hardly think of an answer that convinced me."


    He glanced at everyone in front of him, and then continued: "The 11 of you came to the team four years ago at the earliest, and three years ago later, playing together for almost three or four years, over 1,000 here. In the long process of the sky, you have changed from an unknown player to a star. Your technical ability has matured and you have experienced many important games. Your mentality will not be as trembling as when you were young. We have created brilliant together, which represents our progress. With maturity, technical and tactical aspects have also reached their peak. Although they are not perfect, they are close to the limit of what you can do. Yeah, what is the difference between your team and the world¡¯s first? Can you still say that you are young? But your average age is now 24 years old. It was your year of playing. Can you run and be aggressive? We still lack experience? We have played more finals than any team in these two years. Some of you also play a pivotal role in the national team. We are the champions, we have proved ourselves in England, and now, I think it¡¯s time, it¡¯s time to prove to the world that you are the world¡¯s first, we have Ability to impact European champions, use trophy to prove our strength!"


    The players'' eyes became sharper and more energetic.


    Captain Southgate stood up and exclaimed passionately: "Boss, we will not find any reason for ourselves, never will! In the past, we can think in our hearts that we are still immature, we need more competition to improve, need to grind Practicing skills requires establishing a tacit understanding with teammates, but now, we can no longer give ourselves any excuses! Now we are the most powerful team! Of course, Juventus are also very powerful, they have honors that we do not have, but Isn''t such an opponent exactly what we hope to meet?"


    At the end, Southgate turned his head and asked each teammate with his eyes.


    Everyone nodded and nodded in spite of battle!


    In the past three or four years, they have grown and improved from a nameless one to a champion player. What other reasons can they give themselves to fear of enemies?


    Aldrich was happy when he saw the confident and determined expression of the players. He needed the players to be psychologically incapable of fearing their opponents in order to play better. Otherwise, it would be terrible to be afraid of the future. The battle is not open, the defeat is revealed!


    "Today''s game, to play well, we have to play our own style, to show a stronger fighting spirit than our opponents. I believe you can do it. If we want to challenge the championship throne, we must first defeat the former king, Juventus. !"


    Aldrich turned and left after finishing the talk. The remaining three captains will also inspire the teammates'' fighting spirit.


    When Aldridge walked out of the player''s tunnel and came to the sidelines, he deliberately went to shake hands with Lippi. The silver fox Lippi was still middle-aged, and he could still see the handsome appearance of his youth. The two greeted in Italian, and then Austrian Deric turned around and the war will be on. He and Lippi must have one fall after two wars!


    Sitting down in front of the coach seat, Aldridge sipped his lips, Benitez and Jenson, the two assistants were very nervous today.


    Strange to say.


    It''s hard to measure whether it is the FA Cup final, the Premier League competition, the League Cup final, the European Winners Cup final, which of the four final scenes and the UEFA Champions League quarter-final scene is more stressful .


    But Benitez and Jenson just felt unusually nervous today. In fact, Audridge was not at ease in his heart. After thinking about it, he thought that maybe it had nothing to do with any occasion, but an opponent.


    Manchester United, Arsenal, Barcelona, ??Paris Saint-Germain, etc., these teams are not as good as Juventus, which is why people are more stressed.


    "It''s unlucky to play at home first! Lippi''s old fox has an advantage in platoon formation."


    Jenson repressed too much and said something to ease the tension.


    Aldrich''s rare game drank half a bottle of water before the start, which was actually caused by tension.


    After hearing it, he smiled and said nothing.


    Host first, guest second, guest first.


    Which one has the advantage?


    Statistically, the customer first has the advantage.


    But the statistics are dead and not absolute.


    In particular, such statistics are not objective and fair, because there is a difference in strength between teams.


    If there are two teams with strong and weak disparities, the strong team will come first and then the home team, then the weak team is very unfavorable. In the first round of the contest at home, is it conservative or unrestrained? If you are conservative, the fans don¡¯t agree. If there is no goal, is there hope for going away? If you are unrestrained, the strong team will play against the weak team.


    Against this background, it is of course beneficial for the strong team to come first before the host, but conversely, even if the weak team comes first before the guest, the estimated probability of promotion is not necessarily much higher.


    When there is no obvious difference between the strengths of the two teams, first come first, then come first, then there is no absolute advantage. Anyway, this theory will be subverted from time to time. Time again thinks that it is better to host first and then guests.


    The key is to play on the spot, everything else is a secondary factor.


    Players from both sides enter the stadium and the Champions League theme song resounds from Wembley.


    The peak match between the Premier League champion and the Serie A champion is about to begin!

 Chapter 298： Blood Splash

    "The focus of the first round of the quarter-finals of the Champions League quarter-finals in the 97/98 season, Millwall''s match against Serie A giant Juventus in Wembley is about to start! Both teams performed well in their respective leagues, Milwaukee. Although he is temporarily ranked third in the Premier League, there is still hope of defending. Juventus is in the Serie A alongside Inter Milan, and is also on the road to defending."


    "Although Millwall entered the Champions League for the first time in the history of the club, they showed an incredible state. The six wins in the group stage opened the history of the Champions League in the English club. The offensive is tough and defensive. I have to say that last year The European Cup Winners'' Cup experience is crucial to their growth. This youth team led by Commander Audridge Hall has faded away. They are fully capable of competing against Juventus. Juventus didn''t need to talk about it. The previous year''s Champions League winner, unfortunately lost to Dortmund in the final last year, and Lippi''s team showed stability and strength in the league and the European war. It tells people why Serie A can laugh at Europa. !"


    "The starting lineup and the list of the two sides are as follows:


    Millwall started 433.


    Goalkeeper: Bute


    Defenders: Schneider, Elgra, Southgate, Capdevila Midfielders: Makelele, Pirlo, Nedved


    Forwards: Shevchenko, Trezeguet, Larson


    This is Millwall''s strongest lineup!


    Juventus starting 4312


    Goalkeeper: Peruzi


    Defenders: Torricelli, Montero, Ferrara, Pesoto


    Midfielders: Davis, Conte, Deschamps


    Front waist: Zidane


    Forwards: Piero, Inzaghi


    Fans are blessed today, the main lineup of the two teams is in order, and the key players will not be unable to appear because of the lack of major generals. Although the first round is not decisive, the two teams may be conservative in tactical play, but 180 minutes The first 90 minutes of the game will be an important foreshadowing, let us wait and see what the result of the 90 minutes will be. "


    A glance at Juventus'' starting player, Aldridge came up with an adjective in his heart: Stars shine!


    These 11 people are all famous people in Serie A.


    Peruzzi has been playing for the Serie A giants since his debut. The goalkeeper with the motto "I want to fly higher" only looks at the ability to save. It is even better than the future Buffon!


    All four of the defenders on the line are resounding characters, and the central defender combination Montero + Ferrara is the golden partner.


    Three midfielders Davis, Conte, Deschamps, all of them are unstoppable offense and defensive characters, plus the tactical literacy cultivated in Serie A, this combination arrangement is not inferior to any future "black and hard" animal waist defense hardness!


    The superstar Zidane is very strange, really strange!


    When you think that he is the best him now, but as you grow older, you will find: he is the better Zidane tomorrow!


    Almost all superstars in history have won the Golden Globe at their peak, but Zidane has subverted this phenomenon. Zidane when he took the Golden Globe is far less than Zidane.


    This also proves that his career trajectory is abnormal from the side. Others are parabolic, go from low to high, and then start to decline at the end of his career, but Zidane goes all the way and does not fall. The final battle of his career is the World Cup The final, and playing against the soul characters with absolute core, is the best proof.


    Piero, a twin star on the front, is very bright from his debut. Among the young stars in Europe, Piero, Raul, and Ronaldo are synonymous with the new era of European football. The Italian media will look at Piero. Played a role as a courtesy against Ronaldo, and before Ronaldo''s rise, Piero was definitely the most popular among young European players. It was the green first love of most young contemporary fans! Although the performance in the national team competition in the next few years is disappointing, it is undeniable that Piero is in a good state today, and Prince Zebra is well-known!


    Another person Inzaghi also performed well in Juventus in the new season. Perhaps the most sensational transfer in the summer of 01 was Zidane¡¯s record high price transfer to Real Madrid, but Inzaghi was set at the time by transferring to Milan. The conservative estimate of his value has also exceeded US$30 million. This value is what he scored one goal after another in Juventus!


    The Juventus lineup can be described as the past, present, and future, three generations of European football top team of integrated teams, the strength can be imagined.


    "Milwall, rush!"


    "Milwall, rush!"


    On the Wembley Stadium stand, fans of the Lions shouted in unison. They had just finished singing the cheering song. After the end, they continued to repeat the climax of the lyrics, louder and louder, passionate and encouraging the team to bravely Serie A giants fight!


    The crazy lion is never afraid of losing, but he never loses on his knees!


    When the game started, Aldridge got up and stood on the sidelines, arms over his chest, Lippi on the other side sat firmly on the coach''s seat.


    From the first minute of the game, Millwall showed an excellent competitive state, which stems from their full preparation in the past period. For this reason, Aldridge sacrificed a league and only scored a draw. To allow Arsenal to overtake in the standings.


    Juventus played away, when he first came up, he first fenced the fence, but he was not in a hurry to compete with Millwall for the ball.


    However, they feel fresh. In this era of front waist organization, Millwall''s organization is under the feet of Pirlo at the lower back.


    Pirlo¡¯s precise and sharp shots made Millwall¡¯s every attack offensive, because his overall view was more able to find the opponent¡¯s weak defense. Of course, this is a relative concept. Juventus¡¯ defense system is simply Impeccably, they have the least number of goals conceded in the Serie A, where masters gather, enough to show their defensive strength.


    But today Millwall is prepared and ready to work, he has to be surprised by the other party!


    Conte and Davis were startled when they saw Millwall''s offensive player running out of position!


    What is Millwall doing?


    Hu kick?


    After the opening, Millwall''s offense was completely right-handed. Nedved, Larsen, plus Trezeguet and Shevchenko who were already on the right. Pirlo''s ball was frequently given to the right. All offensive players piled up. On this side, using the advantage of a small number of people in a narrow area to play the match, after the ball is out of the ball, see the stitches and go to the right rib to straighten the ball, which suddenly surprised the Juventus defenders.


    The other side of their defense is completely empty, without Millwall players, aren''t they afraid of being counterattacked on this side?


    Davis and Conte immediately supported the other side of the defensive pressure.


    Millwall players run more aggressively and at a faster speed.


    Their dish-shaped trio offensive in the frontcourt, Larson, Nedved, and Shevchenko, all have speed characteristics, so the running pass is more agile and quick, and can be shortened between one and the other. Time is completed quickly.


    In the first ten minutes, Millwall concentrated on the right and played. When an attack failed and the ball was cleared, Schneider got the ball on the right and passed it to Pirlo. The latter suddenly took the ball forward , Forced Deschamps to kill him and rob him, Pirlo scored the ball to the right, Schneider assisted and took the ball forward, then observed the situation in front, a precise oblique long half-ball flew to the penalty area !


    Trezeguet and Shevchenko did not push forward at the same time, but attracted defensive attention near the line of the penalty area.


    Larsson took the midfielder away, and Nedvide consciously ran to the back of the penalty area before Schneider''s pass. It was a slash run, very concealed, Torricelli and Davis I realized it, but I was completely thrown away by Nedved on the way to speeding up the chase!


    After the ball bounced off the penalty area and fell to the rear point, Nedved quickly rushed forward. Torricelli couldn''t catch up and wanted to use a flying shovel to interfere with the opponent. His feet flew out towards the ball, but inside De Verde is still the first to rush and head the header!


    He seemed to fly out in parallel, the head of the head firmly hitting the ball, and then his eyes stared firmly at the trajectory of the ball.


    Peruzi made two wonderful saves before, refusing the shots of Larson and Trezeguet, but this time, Nedved''s offensive point was too concealed, Schneider''s cross, his running position , Almost psychic!


    Perucci, who was a little fat, stretched to the extreme, but still watched the ball drilled into the goal against the post.


    Nedved saw that the ball was flying and scored a goal, but he was not yet happy, but his head was just biased, and a severe pain came from the left side of his forehead!


    Torricelli closed his foot, but it was still too late. His spikes scratched the left side of Nedved''s forehead, and blood flew out.


    "The goal is scored, the goal is scored! Millwall made the first record at Wembley! The person who scored was Nedvide. Since 98 years, Nedvide has burst into a state! This is from Hall¡¯s His role changed. In the past, he used more offensive tandem to provide fire support for the front trident, but now he is closer to the goal, and he has transformed into a hidden killer! He has repeatedly scored key goals in the league. It was also his goal that helped Millwall win the League Cup, Nedved... Wait, he seemed injured, fell to the court after scoring, he covered his forehead and seemed to want to sit Rising, but Torricelli and Ferrara pressed him, beckoning him to lie down. From the slow-motion goal we can see that Torricelli''s flying shovel is too dangerous, although he has Closed his foot, but still hurt Nedved."


    On the sidelines, Aldridge saw his goal high and celebrated with fists. The coaches behind him rushed out, but they rushed to half, but found that Nedved did not celebrate, and he suddenly had an ominous hunch!


    Torricelli immediately apologized to Nedved, who was afraid that his action would cause his red card to end. To be precise, he was not considered to have raised his foot too high. It was because Nedved''s diving distance was too low. However, he was behind Nedved on the initiative to grab points. In such a situation, he still chooses a flying shovel. It is up to the referee to judge. The foul is affirmative, but the goal must be valid.


    If the referee dares to cancel the goal and award a penalty, then it is not a lack of level, but purely stupid, smashing his job is also hateful!


    The Millwall players rushed to Nedved.


    In order to reduce Torricelli''s foul play, the Juventus players showed a friendly side even if they lost the ball. They calmed Nedvide and explained to the Millwall players.


    They are too experienced. At this time, they can''t commit to anger Millwall. After all, they are playing away and losing the ball. If one less person is fighting, today''s game will be completely suspended. Maybe there will be hidden dangers of getting out of the game!


    Nedved finally stood up. He could definitely stand up, but Juventus players wanted him to lie down and wait for the team doctor to arrive.


    When Nedved stood up, the live TV shot only dared to take a close-up shot, and then focused on the event center with only the distant lens.


    Half of Nedved''s face was red with blood, and he looked like a ghost coming back from hell!

 Chapter 299： Offensive and defensive choice

    Nedved took the towel from the team doctor and wiped his face first. Then he used the towel to hold the wound and walked to the side of the court accompanied by the team doctor. Aldridge walked solemnly to ask about the injury.


    Who knows, as soon as he approached, Nedvide solemnly said to Aldridge: "Boss, I''m fine! I can continue the game!"


    Aldridge didn''t listen to him and stared at the team doctor.


    The fans in the Wembley stands were worried. They were afraid that Nedved could not stick to the game, which was a heavy blow to the team.


    Even if they lead by one goal now, the fans are not optimistic.


    After Nedved went off, the referee showed Torricelli a yellow card.


    Obviously, Torricelli''s attitude of admitting mistakes is good, and the Juventus team members'' reactions in the first time have also received emotional commutation. Moreover, the game has just been played for more than ten minutes. From a point of view, the game is bound to be greatly reduced.


    The goal was not controversial, Torricelli suffered a yellow card penalty.


    The fans in the stands stopped, but Wembley was filled with harsh boos and could not understand the referee''s penalty.


    The blood in Nedved''s face showed how dangerous the opponent''s foul move was. If there was a deviation, there might be life worries!


    Aldridge was too late to protest to the referee. He was more concerned about Nedved''s injury. After the team doctor treated the wound, Nedved insisted on playing. The team doctor thought that the problem was not big, but the wound needed to be stitched, so Nedved Endure the pain and urge the team doctor to close the wound quickly without anesthesia.


    Millwall¡¯s medical team was really prepared for everything, and he sewed the wound to Nedved on the sidelines. Because Nedved urged everything, the stitching speed was very fast, and then he bandaged his head. When the team doctor Qian Dingwan asked him to avoid the header, Nedved did not respond, and quickly changed a new jersey and stood on the sidelines waiting for the referee to signal to return to the court.


    When he was allowed to return to the court by the referee on the sidelines, Wembley thundered and the fans were thrilled. Nedved, with bandages on his head, once again deepened his heroic image!


    Many fans lit up the flags and posters waving before the game. The figures are all Nedved. The roaring fans sang songs in praise of Nedved. The scene was both shocking and moving.


    Aldridge stood on the sidelines. He only allowed Nedved to continue to play under the professional evaluation of the team doctor. As long as the team doctor said no, Aldridge will immediately replace Nedved.


    Fortunately, Nedved can continue to fight.


    This sudden incident became a turning point!


    A turning point for Millwall''s situation.


    Nedved battled with wounds and returned to the field stubbornly. The steel-like will infected every teammate, making Millwall''s fighting will stronger!


    On the contrary, after Juventus witnessed Nedved return to the field, no matter how he thought in his heart, he must be impacted. At the same time, Torricelli''s yellow card made them into a passive state.


    Lippi saw from the first goal drop that Millwall relied on the speed advantage of the offensive player in the frontcourt to make a surprise attack.


    This is related to the slower Juventus away game entering the game. The first ten minutes left the road frequently, and there was a free time on the right. Millwall suddenly shifted the ball to the left and Nedved suddenly killed. In front of the door, this is indeed a wonderful tactical cooperation, not accidental, but premeditated tactical design.


    This is also where Millwall is strong. This main team does not rely on individual abilities to absolutely crush opponents one-on-one and make local fuss, but teamwork to defeat opponents from a global perspective.


    Silver Fox stood up to convey instructions to the players and made some adjustments.


    Juventus'' back line quickly shrank and placed two sides to the opponent to concentrate on protecting the dangerous area, compressing Millwall''s attacking player''s forward insertion space and reducing its penetration speed advantage.


    After Millwall leads, the offensive shifts, hitting Torricelli, and fighting!


    Torricelli was afraid to take another card, and he didn''t dare to move too much. If it wasn''t Davis and Conte making frequent replacements, I''m afraid that Millwall would be hit on this side!


    Fans of the crazy lions in the stands have been cheering for the team. They feel that today''s game is very enjoyable.


    Millwall pressed Juventus to attack!


    It seems that Serie A giants are nothing extraordinary.


    But the fans did not know that Millwall was using unprecedented running physical energy to build up an advantage!


    Juventus turned from the defender and Deschamps handed the ball directly to Zidane in front.


    Zidane controlled the ball well and turned to face Pirlo, making a fake move, but Pirlo lowered his center of gravity and was unmoved.


    In today''s game, Aldridge has analyzed the characteristics of all Juventus players in detail. Whether it is offensive or defensive, players are required to concentrate and not make mistakes!


    Zidane''s strengths are ball control technology and flexibility, and he is creative in his overall view.


    If you take the initiative to rob him, most of you will get rid of it cleanly.


    He doesn¡¯t dominate the speed, so don¡¯t worry about rushing.


    Pirlo''s task is very simple, hold down Zidane, as long as the first time is not passed, slow down the pace of Zidane.


    Zidane looked at the six lanes while controlling the ball, and he frowned when he found the spot.


    Millwall''s defense is very targeted. Makelele is in the area behind Pirlo, standing just in position to block Piero. If Zidane passes the header, Piero will be caught in the header. In the situation, and waiting for the ball to land and then control the ball, Millwall will be given more opportunities to defend in time.


    Elgra did not seem to be staring at Inzaghi, but held up Piero, with Southgate trailing behind, keeping a distance of one meter from Inzaghi.


    Inzaghi, it was a super striker who was born offside and settled there!


    Aldridge can''t bet that Southgate or Elgra will keep staring when Inzaghi counters offside.


    So today Southgate is more like a scavenger, dragged in the end, even if Inzaghi gets the ball, as long as there are defensive players in front of him, his threat is definitely not as strong as a single-handedly.


    Millwall''s two full-backs also shrank the penalty area while defending, ready to make up positions and assist defenses. After all, Juventus did not have a positive Indian winger, and the side impact was pushed by the midfielder behind Zidane.


    Zidane stepped on a bicycle and took a step forward. Pirlo also took a step back. Zidane stepped on a bicycle and took a step forward. Pirlo also took a step back.


    Zidane was depressed. What did the Italian guy do? Isn''t it a lower back? You come up to grab me from the waist!


    He took another step to cross the ball and made a fake change of direction. Pirlo took a step back and pulled away some distance, but there was still room for face-to-face defense of Zidane.


    Zidane saw that the kid would never take the initiative!


    Pirlo wanted to grab the ball at the opponent''s foot, but the head boy emphasized before the game: No!


    If the defensive player only stares at the ball and then grabs the ball under Zidane¡¯s feet, not to mention 100%, but the chance of being missed is too high!


    Zidane¡¯s outstanding career scenes will be repeated once. Many of the defensive players who have been passed are actively robbing. Zidane can use balance and dexterity and excellent ball control technology without speed. The grabbing player loses his center of gravity, and then passes the opponent at that moment.


    As Pirlo defended Zidane''s first gate today, Aldridge''s arrangement for him was very clear: don''t stare at the ball, stare at people, follow people! Don''t lose your position!


    Zidane still couldn''t find the spot, so he took the ball to break through, and Pirlo didn''t really grab him. He stuck the position and followed Zidane''s people. The opponent was a master, not a sledgehammer, so Pirlo Physical confrontation is worse, but in front of Zidane, it is not necessarily disadvantaged.


    Zidane pulled the ball laterally and then pulled to the side. When he brought the ball to the position near the side, he suddenly realized that Millwall''s defensive tactics today.


    Pierre Roca is on the inside position, and at the same time, other offensive players have been defensively returned!


    As long as Zidane can''t pass the deadly threat from the first time of defense, Millwall''s frontcourt players will quickly return to the defense and then use the overall formation to compress the space. Juventus will attack, then From counterattack to positional battle.


    The people who really came to rob him were Nedved and Trezeguet.


    However, Zidane¡¯s ball protection ability is really world-class. Even if Nedvide was killed from behind, Zidane turned around and the ball was still at his feet. Nedvide rushed over his head and did not return. He came to Pirlo to increase the defensive lateral area and wait for Trezeguet to grab Zidane.


    Zidane was depressed, but it wasn''t a stubborn one who had to pass. The pressure in the backcourt was less, Davis and others could attack, and he distributed the ball to his teammates. The attack was slower. Anyway, the ball can be guaranteed.


    Millwall''s ambition today is to strengthen the offense and defense by running back and forth with no effort.


    Juventus'' attack was very difficult. After all, Millwall''s overall back defense was too strong. They fell into the quagmire after halftime. Piero touched the ball last time in this attack. After shaking, he barely kicked the ball and the ball was blocked by Elgra. Juventus''s attack ended.


    Millwall counterattacked again. The players in the midfield and frontcourt advanced forward. Juventus did not fight back in the midfield. Pirlo''s scheduling from the defense to the offense was relatively easy. After taking the ball, he directly divided the two sides. Road, and then moderately forward the joint, tearing the opponent''s defense line through the ground pass cut combined in the side.


    Juventus contracted quickly and did not give Millwall a better forward insertion space. When he quickly pushed near the penalty area, he would encounter Juventus strong defensive resistance.


    Millwall began to deter opponents with a long shot, wanting to seduce each other''s back defense premises, giving more space behind him.


    However, Juventus is not afraid of Millwall''s long-range shooting. They have three midfielders who protect the back line. They are all capable fighters. Even if Millwall is long-range, the threat is not great unless it is a dog. Shit hits the world wave, giving Peruzi reaction time, and the success rate of the save is very desperate for the shooter.


    Juventus started playing heads-up with a counterattack, and the midfield line is not so hard, it can only be so hard.


    Piero, who is in a state of shock, is wonderful. Before he was seriously injured, he was also a striker combining speed and dexterity. He played elegantly and artistically, but he passed a pedestrian, and if several people could succeed, Milwaukee I still go home early and don''t come out and it''s disgraceful.


    More depressing is Inzaghi, almost invisible in the first half, no chance to get the ball, few touches, were completely destroyed by Millwall''s defensive players.


    Before entering the locker room at halftime, Aldridge called Benitez and Jenson to whisper in the aisle.


    1-0 lead, is it an attack or a defense in the second half?


    Aldrich feels that this time the decision will be very difficult.

 Chapter 300： Heaven and hell

    1:0 seems to be a weak advantage, but in the case of a two-round knockout game between home and guest, when the home team can win the opponent at 1:0, the significance of 1:0 is not trivial.


    First of all, the opponent didn''t get a guest goal, so in the second round, Millwall can play anti-reverse. As long as he can score an opponent''s goal on the road, Juventus will score 3 at home!


    This is where Aldridge hesitated.


    He is satisfied with the score of 1:0, but there are still 45 minutes in the game. Is it necessary to fight back from the beginning in the second half?


    Benitez and Jenson each expressed their opinions.


    They all think that the 45-minute variable is too big. If Juventus gets back from the beginning of the second half to play a counter-attack, in case Juventus scores an away goal and Millwall wants to attack again, I am afraid he will be powerless.


    Aldrich thought it over and thought they both made sense.


    Just like Chelsea in the League Cup, Chelsea attacked as soon as it started, and when the score fell behind when the second half began to shrink, they wanted to attack again, but they couldn''t speed up.


    The players entered a state of excitement in the first half, suddenly dropped from a high rate, all aspects of the body "cooled", it is not easy to mobilize again in a short time, once the opponent equalized the score, psychological pressure With anxiety, it is highly likely that the team will collapse.


    When Aldridge walked into the locker room, the team doctor was reprocessing Nedved''s wounds. Aldridge asked a few words, and after getting reassuring results, he began to inspire the team and also made some tactics. change.


    In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. The Millwall team still maintained a high-frequency and fast-paced play. Every player is in good shape today. The pass is accurate, the ball is delivered quickly, and the idea of ??passing and cutting is clear.


    After adjusting to the first half of the game, Juventus also started to exert force in the second half, but their force is obviously controlled, and they exert force little by little.


    Judging from their running position and player participation in the offense, Zidane''s shots are no longer forward, but more lateral pulls after the side, allowing other teammates who come up with assists to respond.


    The game is gradually getting hotter. Both sides have arranged a strict defensive line from the midfield. Compared with the mad rush of many teams without individual levels, the defensive tactics of the two teams have shown the top level. The Serie A team is already good at chain defense. Mill Under Aldridge''s training, Wall never emphasized one-on-one rushing. Each defensive point is connected with the defensive line as a whole, and will not give the opponent a chance to break one by one.


    Both sides failed to create a better opportunity in the sports battle, and both teams began to frequently use positioning **** to create kills.


    Juventus'' two consecutive corner offenses were within a minute of the goal, which caused the fans in the stands to panic and exclaim.


    Southgate yelled at his teammates to make everyone pay more attention. They suffered a bit from defensive positioning. That is the defensive height. This requires their more accurate predictions and more appropriate positions to contain their opponents.


    When the game came to the 70th minute, Aldridge paced back and forth on the sidelines, hitting this time node, Millwall''s physical energy consumption has begun to panic.


    Judging only from the perspective of observation, Aldridge knew that the players ran out of the usual 90-minute distance of the game in 70 minutes today. It is estimated that the average running distance has exceeded 10,000 meters.


    And Juventus closed in the first half and gradually pushed in the second half. In contrast, the gap between the two sides began to decline from Millwall''s dominance, and has now become balanced. If it continues to develop, it may be Juventus. Fully dominated.


    Experienced Lippi estimated that he planned this from the beginning, and he defended and then attacked as a whole. This is understandable. If not, Millwall played a wave of surprise attacks in the opening stage of the first half. Maybe Millwall will be due to Unable to score and involuntarily overwhelm, giving Juventus more offensive opportunities.


    It''s time to collect them.


    1:0!


    This is an acceptable result!


    As Aldridge was about to replace Trezeguet with Barak, the situation on the field was abrupt.


    Millwall hit a wave of offense.


    Trezeguet and Larson swapped positions. Trezeguet, who was pulling on the left side outside the penalty area, rarely passed the ball to the right rib.


    Shevchenko inserted a non-stop ball at high speed, carrying Pesoto was a long shot!


    The ball flew towards the Juventus gate like a heavy artillery, Peruzi flew, and blocked the ball with one hand, but the speed of the ball was too fast, and he could not control the trajectory of the saved ball. I saw the ball bounced towards the small penalty area line nearby.


    Ferrara and Montero wanted to make a clearance when they reacted, but Larson jumped a header between them and pushed the ball towards the other side of the goal!


    Peruzzi was unable to return to the sky and looked at the ball!


    Ferrara and other Juventus will immediately raise their hands to signal Larson to make an offside shot, but the flag in the hands of the referee has been in a state of sag.


    "Larsen''s supplementary shot scored the goal! Millwall led Juventus 2-0! This is a golden goal. If Juventus can be scored with two goals at home, Millwall''s promotion hopes It¡¯s going to be very big, very big! Does anyone question Larson¡¯s lack of aggressiveness? He countered all doubts in the key game with a goal. He is the most important point that Millwall can¡¯t ignore. This attack It''s a match between Millwall''s front trident! Trezeguet, Shevchenko, Larson, they work together to help the team expand the score!"


    Wembley''s stand was boiling, and fans of the Lions happily jumped on the stand, leading by two goals, the probability of promotion increased greatly!


    Aldridge also thrilled excitedly on the sidelines to celebrate, and then quickly turned back to let Barak complete the substitutions, and at the same time let Gattuso also warm up. At this time, do not hesitate, you can be determined to hold the score of 2:0!


    Under such a score, Millwall was a guest in Turin in the second round. As long as he scored a goal from Juventus on the road, his opponent would score 4!


    Barak went up and Treze covered.


    Three minutes later, Gattuso went up and Shevchenko went down.


    Millwall changes to 4411.


    Lippi looked solemnly to the sidelines and made adjustments, but they were tactical rather than personnel adjustments.


    He knew that the gap between the two goals was a very dangerous situation. According to Millwall''s performance in the three away games in the group stage, Juventus may not score at least three goals for his opponent even if he returns to the home court.


    According to Millwall''s formation adjustment, Juventus saw a move, two defenders boldly stepped forward to assist, plus three midfielders also advanced in a level way, Juventus countered the main goal in the last ten minutes to counter Jedi counterattack!


    By this time, although the Millwall players were still able to run, they had begun to lag behind Juventus in speed. They spared no effort in the first 80 minutes of running, making the final 10 minutes into a passive in this regard.


    Aldridge kept pressing his hands to keep the players steady, taking more rest and adjusting the breathing rhythm, even delaying the time.


    However, Juventus did not give them a chance. At this time, they had better physical fitness. They almost adopted the basketball tactics of full-field pressing strategies and forced crazy to grab.


    Zidane made a long shot, Inzaghi grabbed the spot, Davis made a long shot after the breakthrough, Conte sent a good pass, Piero swayed the ball and flew the ball, Torricelli made a high pass, and then inserted Conte Header...


    Juventus''s offensive wave was higher than the wave, hitting Millwall before the storm, but fortunately did not give the opponent a perfect chance to break the goal, otherwise Bout might not be able to withstand.


    Even if Millwall wants to use his down feet to consume time, he can''t bear the few capable players who can fight and grab in the opponent''s midfield.


    Deschamps snatched the ball from Pirlo''s foot and then passed the ball. Piero shot a long shot outside the penalty area. Southgate blocked the ball and blocked the ball with his body.


    The game time has come to the injury stoppage time, Juventus army pressured, Millwall retreat.


    Juventus kicked the corner and the ball reached Pesoto¡¯s feet. Schneider defended him head-on. Pesoto unexpectedly didn¡¯t pass but took an in-line shot and chose a long shot at a 45-degree angle outside the penalty area. !


    No one thought that he would be in this position, so choose a long shot at such a long distance.


    And the ball is a half-height ball, almost flew towards the goal almost against the turf.


    The penalty area was overcrowded. This ball hit Maklele''s calf during the rolling, and then turned to the front of the penalty area. The speed is still very fast. I don''t know who touched it on the line of the small penalty area. The ball is slow. Rolled into the goal.


    Bout, who was deceived by the refraction twice, could not save it!


    "The goal was scored! Juventus pulled back a goal in stoppage time. This goal will allow Lippi to leave London with satisfaction. 2:1, Millwall was scored by an opponent to score an away goal. This result made them The gold content of the second goal dropped slightly, and it can even be said that the score of 2:1 is far better than 1:0! Who actually scored this goal? In the slow-motion goal replay, we saw Pesso Tolle''s shot was blocked by Makelele, and then Bout had lost his center of gravity. He went to the corner of the goal. If Makelele did not block, he was sure to save the ball, but Makelele stretched out. The ball was refracted by the foot, and Elgra defending in the small penalty line was caught off guard. He hurriedly made a leg but the kick was flawed. The ball slipped over his foot and rolled into his own door! After the ball was dropped, Egypt Elgra fell to the ground and looked very guilty!"


    When the Juventus generals frantically celebrated the goal, Lippi smiled on the coach''s bench, and then chatted with the coaching staff to celebrate.


    Aldridge''s expressions are similar to those of the fans in the stands, and his expressions are slightly pale.


    Feelings fall from heaven to hell!


    Yes, 2:1, far worse than 1:0.


    The most intuitive interpretation is: the score of 2:1, Juventus can be promoted by returning to home as long as 1:0, and if it is 1:0, even if Juventus play 1:0 at home, the two teams will play plus Time.


    Southgate pulled Elgra in one hand, did not know what was said in his ear, and then gently pushed his head to make Elgra quickly cheer up.


    The injury stoppage time has come, Millwall restarted the ball and quickly played a wave of offense, and finally Pirlo missed a long shot to make the game to the end.


    The fans in the stands also cheered up, and they were still optimistic anyway.


    At the very least, he won the second round with a leading score, not a draw or a total score behind.


    The two teams did not play a match-breaking match like the Barcelona group stage today. The first ten minutes and the last ten minutes of the game were the two teams dominating, and the middle 70 minutes was a tug of war. But there are still many exciting scenes between offense and defense.


    Aldridge went to shake hands with Lippi without saying much, and then turned to comfort the disciples who were feeling a bit lost.


    The last goal was judged as an own goal. Audric first came to Elgra and hugged the opponent for a long time, constantly encouraging him in his ear and letting him forget the own goal.


    "Don¡¯t blame yourself, look forward so that you can continue on the path of a world-class center defender. I have confidence in you. No one will blame you. On the contrary, today you are doing very well and successfully restricted Piero. , I am very satisfied with you!"


    Elgra escaped the psychological shadow in Aldridge''s comfort.


    Aldrich knew he had to help Elgra in the first place, otherwise, the seed of self-blame would take root in his heart.


    At the end of the game, Millwall players and Juventus players exchanged jerseys, and then they came to the sidelines to thank the fans for their support.

 Chapter 301： Cream and chocolate

    At the post-match press conference, Audridge appeared very late. He summed up the game with the players in the locker room. At the same time, he also inspired them with words to wipe out the mental blow of the goal before the end.


    Not that the score of 2:1 makes the team unacceptable, but they are more motivated than any previous game, playing very seriously, seeing that the good game of 2:0 has become 2:1, and the psychological gap is A matter of course.


    2:0 and 2:1, those are two very different situations.


    The Italian media hoped that Aldridge would talk about Juventus'' performance in this field. They were fault-finding on the basis of a good result for Juventus, thinking that Juventus did not show the momentum of Serie A giants.


    "If Juventus must win or get a draw, then this is disrespect to Millwall, we paid everything to win, this is what Millwall deserves, Juventus played well and achieved A away goal, the total score is only one ball away, this is the reality, not Juventus easily take more here, on this basis, Millwall faces Juventus in the next round Slovenia, I think the probability of promotion is still 50%. Although we are ahead of the score, Juventus have home advantage next round, so the chances of both sides are equal."


    The Italian media still have some sense of superiority, even though Millwall is not a small role, but Juventus played on behalf of Serie A, Serie A champions play Premier League champions, it should be a clear advantage.


    The mood on Fleet Street is very complicated.


    Before the end of the game, they are all ready to sing praises for Millwall. If Juventus can be won at 2:0 at home, the next round will be very easy to play. However, the goal before the end of the game directly reversed the situation.


    The Fleet Street reporter frowned and asked: "When the team took a 2-0 lead, why did you choose to play with two midfielders to passively defend? If you keep the team oppressed, you might not lose the last bad luck The ball may also kill suspense while Juventus is attacking."


    Aldridge said calmly and said: "I don''t think my choice is wrong, I don''t want to argue about this, because it is unnecessary, I am the coach, I am responsible for the team, the outside world has nothing to do with me. But I What I want to point out is that in normal games, the average running of Millwall''s team in 90 minutes is between 10,000 meters and 12,000 kilometers. Today''s players'' running distance should increase by two kilometers on this basis. It¡¯s about three thousand meters. When you go back and look at the process on the basis of the results, there will always be different voices, and no one can give a correct answer. Maybe I continue to let the team press the offense and score goals, maybe lose more. Who knows? God, but neither you nor I am God."


    The Fleet Street reporters no longer troubled Aldridge and turned their finger at Juventus.


    "Nedved was violated by Torricelli when he scored a goal. He was injured and the opponent''s action was clearly enough to get a red card, but the referee only showed a yellow card. What do you think of this? Will complain to UEFA? ?"


    Aldridge pondered for a moment and did not answer the first time.


    In fact, the situation at that time was a bit subtle.


    Assuming that Nedv¨§d didn''t score that goal, Aldridge thinks the referee will tend to show a red card.


    However, the goal was scored, Juventus fell behind, and the whole team pleaded for Torricelli. There was no excessive conflict between the parties. The referee awarded a yellow card and Millwall players did not protest.


    This is probably caused by Aldridge''s style.


    It''s hard to say whether this style is right or wrong.


    Aldridge just disgusted that the team really cares about the role of referee.


    Originally, a qualified or excellent referee should be "invisible" in a game.


    If the players are used to putting pressure on the referee and protesting to the referee, this does not in itself give the team an advantage, because the referee also has thought and law enforcement authority, he will resent the protesters, and may even cause psychological inclination, but instead The protesting party imposed stricter penalties. Once this happens, the players'' psychology will fluctuate greatly, and some attention will be paid to the head referee, which is very unfavorable to the development of the game.


    The normal game may be nothing, but if this happens in a key battle, the team is likely to collapse on its own.


    The person who protested was the coach. Aldrich also communicated with the fourth official after returning to the field from Nedvide, but the sentence could never be changed. This is the fact.


    "The referee has his own standard of punishment. The yellow card against Torricelli really made Millwall feel too lightly sentenced, but excluding this controversy, the referee performed well today, and Millwall will not report this matter to Europe. The Football Association complained that Torricelli apologized again to Nedved immediately after the game. Nedved also accepted the apology from the other side. They exchanged jerseys with each other. The foul was indeed dangerous, but on the football field You can¡¯t let this phenomenon disappear. I remember a long time ago, I called on the FA to increase the penalty for dangerous moves, but the FA and the British football media practitioners scoffed at me at the time, Millwall Surviving in England, if even the local football community condones this dangerous behavior, will Millwall still complain to UEFA? This is a sad joke."


    In the traditional concept of football in England, the football game is full of intense confrontation, instead of passing the ball back and forth in an ornamental way to tear the opponent''s defense. Becoming barbaric is another matter, but there is no obvious definition, so Aldridge is helpless, but there is no way.


    Not to mention Millwall¡¯s historical position in England, even the traditional giants, it is impossible to change the status quo with their own efforts. If the FA really adopts Aldridge¡¯s advice, it is a big problem. It will come like a tide, and people will accuse the FA of defending Millwall and making regulations for them that are more in line with their style.


    Therefore, everything remains the same, what the convention is, or what it is, the various forces will be at peace with each other, and what is changed in a hurry is often a war of interests that triggers a whole body.


    It was almost midnight when I returned home, and Aldridge couldn''t sleep.


    2:1.


    What tactics should the team use in the next round to Turin?


    He was still thinking about the Champions League.


    This is understandable. In fact, this season, Millwall''s main players have mostly put their energy in the Champions League.


    Even though the league is now ranked third, it seems that everyone does not think there is a big problem. First, they are confident. They think they will not be left behind. Second, they are attractive. The Premier League champions, the main players have got it last season, the first this season. The second round of the Champions League will naturally pay more attention to the Champions League results.


    It''s like tasting a cream cake. Suddenly there is a chocolate cake that I haven''t eaten before, so I naturally focus on the chocolate cake.


    Maybe their performance in the league was not as good as last season, but it is definitely better and more stable than their previous season. Everyone does not think that the gap with Manchester United is an unattractive distance.


    However, when the players have to concentrate on playing a game, the state of preparation before the game and the energy consumption of the game will affect at least two leagues during this period.


    Aldridge still knows clearly, if you want to talk about the importance of the major and secondary, this season must be the Champions Cup heavier than the league! Mo said players, even he thinks that the Champions League is more important!


    Millwall''s line-up team decided that they would not be able to take a 100% status in two-line combat. Since the Champions League is not out, it is of course based on the Champions League.


    2:1 is a tangled score.


    It is a situation where the head coach cannot make up his mind to take the ultimate route.


    It is impossible to choose in the total score of 2:1 in both cases if you are determined to prevent it from going to the end or take great risks.


    Dingdong!


    As Aldridge pondered, the doorbell rang.


    He looked at the time, it was already 11pm, and he didn''t know who came to the door.


    When I walked to the door and looked at it, I found that the neighbor was opposite, so I opened the door and asked curiously, "Yi Wen, is there something wrong?"


    Ewen apparently bathed, with a ponytail hairstyle on weekdays, long blond hair behind her shoulders, and a fresh fragrance in her home casual outfit.


    She carried a plate of waffles and smiled, "Can''t you sleep?"


    Aldridge asked her to come in and smiled and sighed, "Yeah, uh, thinking about the team."


    Yiwen put the plate on the coffee table and said, "Generally, you haven''t slept at this time, I know you are worried about the team."


    "why?"


    "Because often when the team loses or performs poorly, you will sleep late, and I live opposite you."


    "Voyeur, I''m going to sue you."


    "Randomly. I made some waffles, they were delicious, they were all eaten anyway.


    Aldridge took a piece and tasted it. In fact, the taste was not unique, but he still exaggerated his expression of enjoyment and exclaimed: "Well, if anyone marries you, that is really his blessing."


    Yiwen smiled indifferently and sat down and asked, "When are you going to sleep?"


    Aldridge pours her a cup of tea, then sits on the sofa and tilts Erlang''s legs and says, "I don''t know. I keep thinking about things in my head.


    "It just happens that I can''t fall asleep. Stay here with you."


    "Then you should always find something to do? Why not clean up for me? Haha."


    "Think beautiful, look for a movie."


    Having said that, she got up and looked on the disc rack next to the TV, and really found a movie that she hadn''t seen in less than half a year.


    When the title of the film appeared on TV, Aldridge lamented: "Okay, if you watch this film twice, it is estimated that the sky will be bright."


    Yi Wen sat down on the sofa next to him, watching the movie with a soft and calm face.


    "Titanic"


    New movies that have been hot in the past few months.


    Aldrich didn¡¯t go to the cinema. If he watched movies with the players, he wouldn¡¯t watch this kind of movie. Most of them were action movies or science fiction movies. When Melanie had no time, he missed the movie. When I walked into the cinema to watch it, I just bought the disc and kept it at home.


    Aldridge continued to think about the team''s affairs. There was a big beautiful woman watching the movie. He was really so absorbed in thinking. Perhaps subconsciously, he regarded Yiwen as a family member, so he was not seen, so he didn''t take it seriously.

 Chapter 302： Real woman

    Aldrich tried to analyze Juventus'' second round arrangement from Lippi''s perspective.


    However, in terms of tactics, it is hard to say that there is a trick in this level of competition. It is very risky to change the team''s mature technical and tactical style. Juventus'' situation is not dangerous.


    The overall score is behind, Juventus is going to attack, this is certain, but how to attack, when to force, there are especially many articles that can be done.


    Is it to control the game to accumulate advantages little by little or to bombard like a violent storm?


    Aldrich thought about it all the time, and he almost got into trouble.


    Before any important game, he had such a thought process.


    In addition to playing Juventus, Millwall did not rely solely on Aldridge. In preparation for the war, the team trained in the confrontation game. He would arrange for the substitute players to exclude Juventus¡¯ technical and tactical formations from the home team. In the contest, in order to make up for the poor strength, the main lineup is appropriately downsized to play less.


    Although this is not an absolutely suitable exercise, it cannot be said to be useless.


    In the history of the strongest Hungarian gold team, in the context of the national system, all domestic teams are supporting a team. What are the roles and tasks of studying with the prince? Is to play different opponents.


    In order to play against England, Hungary even specially selected players with similar characteristics to England to form a team, and completely copied England''s tactics. Accompanying the national team to practice early and greedy, it is no wonder that England was double washed by Hungarian hosts and guests. At least, there is no secret in tactics, it is completely eaten up by the opponent.


    When he decided to end the brainstorming, the film on TV was not finished.


    Yi Wen looked very fascinated, and the quiet appearance had a special charm. Suddenly, Aldridge saw a mist in her eyes and coughed two times: "To be honest, I can''t stand you crying here."


    Yi Wen blinked and let the tears go back, she smiled sideways: "Just remembered some past."


    "Oh? Wasn''t the movie plot moved?"


    "That''s right, that line, you jump, I jump too. Ha ha, much like when we were kids, go play, you go, I go, fight, you go, I go, we do everything together. "


    Aldridge turned his head to look at the TV. Sure enough, the plot went to where Jack and Ross jumped.


    He smiled with his head in his head and said, "Yeah, I used to be together often when I was a kid, but later, probably after you started high school, I would only play with you again after a few months. When I heard Brady say, that When you are rarely together, it seems to realize that there is a difference between men and women, ha ha ha, it is funny to think of it."


    Yiwen''s expression was soft, his chin raised to the ceiling, and he said softly: "Yeah, when we went to school step by step, you left London alone in pursuit of your dreams. Why did Aldrich do this? Obviously we are together The grown-up child, but you are different. From the age of 10, it seems that you grew up overnight. At that time, we thought you were a reliable partner. Now you want to come. Your story can be used to make movies or It''s out of order."


    Aldridge smiled and said: "Not to mention, Andrew told me that there was really a small film company in London who wanted me to make a movie, describing me as making Millwall rise in England and struggling to be strong from the age of 10, Hall When the family bought the club, I became the head coach, and then condensed the history of the club for the past three years. Oh, I refused. It felt too exaggerated, and it was suspected of being famous."


    Yiwen''s lips rose, her smile was so sweet that she suddenly turned around and asked softly, "How is Melanie?"


    "Okay, I am very busy myself. She and the Spice Girls toured the world this year. She often sent text messages about the performance. It seems that they are very popular. The tickets for the concert will always be sold out, hehe."


    "Why would you like her?"


    "I don¡¯t know, I¡¯m not the kind of man who suddenly sees a woman and then falls in love at first sight. How can I say, maybe at a certain time, I have a feeling and want to continue to get this special feeling, so I tried to develop, Then everything is logical."


    "Why don''t you like me?"


    When Yiwen asked this question, Aldridge was stunned, and then found Yiwen turned his head to stare at him. His eyes were a little complicated, but his expression was still soft.


    Aldridge looked away and pretended to say easily: "Who said? Why don''t I like you?"


    "Aldrich, you know what I mean."


    Aldridge''s heart beat suddenly a little bit, which was a sign of nervousness, which surprised him.


    Why should I be nervous?


    He put away a smile and remained silent.


    I don''t know how to answer this question.


    Yi Wen saw his reaction and said softly: "Aldrich, this problem has troubled me for three years. I don¡¯t know, I really don¡¯t know, I¡¯m prettier than her, better than her body, I know you better than her, know What kind of clothes do you like to wear, what kind of food do you eat, all living habits, where is I worse than her? Fame, or she is richer. But I know that this is not the standard, otherwise, you are not Aldridge. "


    Aldridge said incredulously: "We know each other so much, and have known each other since we were young. That''s why, why did you ask me such a question? Brady, Fred, Saul, our common friends, I don''t think I am special than them. You must be with them longer than with me."


    Yiwen said with a little excitement: "No, you are very special, very special since you were young, no matter what you do, you have a plan, organized, and will not make mistakes. Even if we make mistakes, you will use the most correct way. Help us make up, when we panic, you are the most calm, when we encounter difficulties, you will never be helpless, you are not the oldest of us, but the gentlest and most considerate to us, so that we can Relying on can be unscrupulous when you are with you without worries. Aldrich, you are not a romantic man, but you are the man who makes me feel most dependable and trustworthy."


    "Why do you have to find someone to rely on? Are you not very good now? Why do independent women rely on men?"


    "I don''t mean relying on life, but spiritually! You answer me, no matter what happens to me, will you help me by my side? Accompany me through all difficulties?"


    Aldridge cut the railroad: "Of course!"


    Yi Wen said with a serious face: "This is what a woman needs to rely on and trust, not money and material."


    Aldrich replied: "Do you think I will not?"


    "No, you still will."


    "What''s the problem?"


    "The problem is that you can do this as a friend, but I want more! I don''t want to be just your friend! I want to have more stories with you."


    Aldrich looked up at the ceiling, and he was always willing to lend a helping hand to friends, but this relationship of friendship between men and women seemed very delicate.


    Man, woman, man, woman.


    Aldridge suddenly realized a problem: It seemed that before Yiwen asked the question of piercing the window paper, he never regarded Yiwen as an independent woman.


    Yes, more than ten years ago, his child''s heart was covered by the appearance of his skin, and he was an old man in his forties.


    When he first saw the lively and lovely girl, he treated other friends and even his own two brothers with the mentality of looking at children with elders, and he also had this mentality.


    Therefore, when he is with his friends, he is always a caregiver, caring for them, giving more than the children should be considerate and tolerant, caring and helping.


    He is a trusted partner in the hearts of his friends, and it is from this.


    Even in these more than ten years, friends gradually grew up from children, Aldridge¡¯s mentality has not changed, but he is young, has not been so chic in his previous life, just want to play, play, eat and drink, and friends Together and indulgently indulge, let him experience the superiority of youth, the youthful vitality brought by this body.


    Even the 18th female college student changed into a beautiful woman Yiwen, in his eyes, has always stayed in the impression of the junior.


    Today, he realized that the lively and lovely little girl has become a pretty girl with a charming girl.


    Aldridge has not changed, but Ewen has changed.


    When Aldridge recovered from his contemplation, Yi Wen had already gone, and the film on TV had come to an end.


    The heroine of the old Dragon Clock sinks the heart of the ocean to the bottom of the sea, and meets Jack again in his sleep...


    Aldridge turned off the TV and went back to the room to turn off the lights to sleep.


    Yiwen just expressed his emotions without asking for anything further.


    Now that she understands Aldridge, she should understand that Aldridge never likes being bullied, even friends.


    If she were aggressive, it would only be counterproductive.


    Of course, she has the power to express and how she will develop next. She doesn¡¯t know, and Aldridge doesn¡¯t know.


    To be honest, Aldridge was counted countless times.


    When signing fans at the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium, sometimes he often meets crazy female fans and shows his love to him at close range. Audridge mostly laughs and does not speak, and occasionally a little girl under ten also tells him :I love you. Aldridge will also generously reply: I love you too!


    In his mailbox, there are many confession letters from strange female fans every week. Originally, he had a fan organization similar to entertainment stars, most of which were organized by female fans.


    For such a stranger who was never masked and only had photos, Aldridge¡¯s response was simple. All the letters were sent to the shredder, and the photos were no exception, even if the women in the photos were so beautiful.


    But in the face of a very familiar person like Yiwen, Aldridge really felt tricky.


    In the following days, Aldridge deliberately and unconsciously avoided Ewen, but everyone worked together and occasionally met, he tried to stay as normal as possible, and ended the matter on the same occasion as quickly as possible.


    Soon, Yiwen couldn''t take it anymore.


    She broke into Aldridge''s office, closed the door, and cursed with a straight face.


    "Aldrich, I don¡¯t care what you think, but I want to tell you that whenever and wherever you want, I will be there for you! Yes, now you have a girlfriend, I will not Harassing you and embarrassing you, so don¡¯t deliberately hide from me, as usual, just as before, and, I don¡¯t look at you and Melanie¡¯s future at all, she doesn¡¯t look good from the beginning, she will leave you ''S life is getting farther and farther, and one day you can''t stand the life of not seeing a girlfriend for more than ten months a year. By then, you will know that a woman like me is true, I wish you happiness, but allow me to curse you in my heart and break up with her soon!"


    Aldridge widened his eyes and said, "True woman!"


    Yiwen twisted and walked, and raised a **** towards him...

 Chapter 303： Rookie and Silver Fox

    Turin, Alpi Stadium.


    There is a clear difference between this course and that of England, because in addition to the regular football field, there are track and field tracks, which allows the spectator stand to be far away from the court for easy management, but it cannot be made like the English stadium stand. Crazy fans cheer the momentum.


    The much-anticipated UEFA Champions League quarter-final round 2 is about to start. The players on both sides are already waiting to play in the player channel. Aldrich stands on the sidelines. He has previously communicated with Lippi. Both of them said: no matter who can Advance to the semifinals, I hope the other party can win the final championship!


    This is naturally a polite rhetoric. In fact, the two of them have exactly the same idea: you fall, I fight for the championship!


    This stadium, which can accommodate 40,000 people, seems to have a high occupancy rate today, close to full, but some places can still see an empty seat.


    Originally, there were not many urban populations in Turin. Even the giants such as Juventus, the attendance rate still did not reach a hot ratio. However, today is the European Champions League game, there is no reason to have empty seats.


    Aldrich looked around the stadium. Italian fans were no less enthusiastic about football than fans of any country in the world. They shouted for the team and laid out huge banners to deter their opponents. Loud slogans and loud singing were all expressions. The love of the team and the oppression of the opponent.


    Aldridge looked around and frowned.


    Where are the visiting fans?


    What about Millwall fans?


    The expedition away cheering with the team, this is a measure of the loyalty of a fan, at least in England, if you do not follow the team to watch the away game, and then brag about your loyalty to the team, this will be ridiculed among the fan community With sarcasm.


    No one else knows that before Aldridge led the team to Turin, Millwall had at least three large fan organizations that sent cheering letters to the club, among which he vowed that he would serve Mill at the Alpi Stadium. Wall cheer to cheer and make the players more fighting on the road.


    But now at Alpi Stadium, Aldridge can hardly see a large slogan or banner related to Millwall. Only a few of the banners have the emblem of the mad lion team, so that people are far from knowing that it is Milwaukee. Fans.


    Those fans have no reason to deceive themselves, this is not a child''s play, in the matter of loyalty to the club, many fans regard it as dignity.


    In the end what happened?


    Where did the missing Millwall fans go?


    As the players from both sides lined up, the Champions League theme song also echoed in the Alpi stadium.


    "Juventus and Millwall in the second round of the Champions League quarter-final are about to start. Both teams are currently in a good state in the league. The score of the last confrontation was 2:1. Millwall was in front of the final. Lost the ball so that they only got an advantage of one ball and let Juventus score a guest goal. For this game, Juventus must score, but Millwall may fall into a passive, in the Serie A championship At home, Millwall''s control of the game will be greatly reduced. Lippi and Hall''s second match will test the ability of the two coaches on the spot. When the game starts, the situation is different every minute. "


    "The starting list of the two teams is no different from the previous one. Millwall''s formation changed from 433 in the previous game to 4231, and Juventus followed the 4312 in the previous game. The two teams are ready to kick off after shaking hands with each other. Now."


    When the referee whistled, the game officially started, and Millwall contracted the defense line as soon as he came up.


    Juventus''s state after opening today is very different from the previous one. The last time they were expeditioned, the situation was right and the people were not all kinds of things. Today, the reverse is the case. On the court, naturally enter the state faster.


    Davis, Deschamps, Conte, these three offensive and defensive midfielders provide fire support behind Zidane to help Zidane share the pressure of organizing the offense and also use it for the first time when defending Actively fighting to contain Millwall''s counterattack, Inzaghi and Piero also showed a very good competitive state today. Just after the opening, Zidane passed the header in front of Pirlo and Piero ran diagonally. Stopping the ball with the chest and waiting for Elgra to block was a volley. The ball flew to the lower right corner of the Millwall goal with a strong rotation. Fortunately, Bout was fully prepared and saved the ball bravely.


    Juventus took a corner kick and the ball was released in the penalty area. Deschamp who followed up passed the ball straight into the penalty area. Inzaghi directly volleyed the ball, but it was a pity.


    As soon as the opening began, Juventus put tremendous pressure on Millwall.


    When faced with this situation, the players also know what to do.


    They will stabilize first, slow down the opponent''s rhythm, and kill the opponent''s exuberant state, but this set is a bit young for Juventus who can fight and grab.


    Piero and Inzaghi consciously stuck between the defender and the full-back, Zidane also held between Pirlo and Makelele, which created a pressure to force Millwall to dare not frequently in the backcourt To stumble, you must attack forward!


    Lippi apparently carefully studied Millwall''s style of play, playing 4231 away, the two wing is the focus, counterattack Larson and Shevchenko make a fuss on the wing.


    Both of them have extraordinary abilities, but they definitely haven''t reached a height that can sharpen Juventus'' back defense. In the Serie A stadium where masters gather, Juventus'' back defense is the most stable, that is after Thousands of hammers are cast after hard work, and no one can cast wild in front of them.


    However, Larson and Shevchenko are not the kind of wingers who hold the ball and stick to one side to "over die". In the fast forward, the side is a series of excessive coordinating roles, reaching the combination of the side and the middle, using the pass Cut the running position and tear open the opponent''s defense line.


    Because of this, when Nedved was counter-attacked by at least two of the other three midfielders, neither Larson nor Shevchenko could connect to the center, and Pirlo was also consciously blocked by Zidane Following the route, Larson and Shevchenko fell into a one-on-one confrontation with the opponent''s extremely capable full-back, and the offense was in vain.


    Millwall''s full-back was still in the rear and they didn''t move. They always led the score. Even in counterattacks, the overall formation is still based on solid defense in the offense to avoid counterattacks.


    Juventus''s advantage is very obvious, the offense hit the wind and water, just one goal away.


    The confidence advantage established by Millwall in the first round of playing Juventus is fading little by little, and the crazy lion generals are really beginning to realize the horror of this Serie A champion.


    In addition to the twin stars on the front line, Zidanega''s configuration of the three midfielders behind them gives them a huge advantage in the midfield, the transfer and coordination are very smooth, and they can be relaxed in offense and defense.


    Aldridge constantly reminded players to pay attention to the defensive formation on the sidelines to avoid being penetrated by the opponent in the middle.


    He still chose Pirlo as a starter today. He didn''t choose Barak. The defensive hardness naturally declined, but he needed Pirlo''s organization when he was transferred from defense to offense.


    Playing a team of Juventus level, even if the opponent has flaws, it is only a fleeting moment. Whether you can seize this moment will test the ability of the team commander. At this point, Austria Derich believes in Pirlo even more. This is undoubtedly. The kind of scalpel-like pass, the most reasonable threat to pass, Pirlo is stronger than Barak.


    Silver Fox Lippi''s suit and leather look smart and handsome today. He sits on the coach''s bench like the first round of the game, and he also holds a cigar, like a spectator leisurely enjoying the game.


    Compared with Aldridge, who uses the body language to command the team from time to time on the sidelines, the visual contrast between the two is great, and there is a movement.


    Aldridge is like a rookie in fear, Lippi is even more clever.


    Excluding the factors of the two''s style of command, if he gives Aldrich Juventus the group of people, he will not be on the sidelines and will sit down comfortably.


    This group of people is too experienced, and the team is already mature. There is no need for the coach to remind or make any changes on the sidelines. If the Millwall players have been playing the mad lion, Aldridge can reach one in three years. The state of "rulelessness", because the players have gone to the north and fought in various battles, the mentality, skills and tactics, adaptability on the field, self-adjustment, etc. will reach their peak, and the work of the head coach will also change accordingly It is to maintain the peak state of the team, instead of expecting them to make greater improvements and progress. Basically, players are over 23 years old, and the goal is to increase the ball by experience and experience. That is to maintain and adjust the physical and competitive state.


    Millwall couldn''t control the pace of the game today, they wanted to "slow down and kick", but Juventus did not give them the opportunity to force Millwall to attack with a reasonable frontcourt position, but once attacked, no Millwall''s frontcourt offensive team, who dare to make a big push, was cut into pieces by opponents with experience. Juventus'' successful defense will quickly launch a new wave of offense and maintain the pace of the game at a faster rate. on.


    The crazy lion attack was not ideal, but the defense was very desperate. After gradually adapting to the rhythm, Juventus'' stormy attack also began to reduce its power.


    As long as he didn''t concede a goal, Aldridge didn''t think it was necessary to change anything.


    Millwall''s offensive play was not ideal, mainly because the number of offenses was too small, and four people actually hit the frontcourt. Under the premise that the Juventus players are in better shape, four people must defeat the opponent''s chain of at least seven people. Defensive line, then it requires a shocking personal play!


    Hold on first, hold on to the defense, wait slowly, don''t worry, the time is passing by one minute and one second, and the situation is becoming more and more disadvantageous for Juventus.


    Aldridge did not believe that Juventus could always sit down. The force they invested in the attack was about six or seven people, and the four defenders did not move. If it was not based on experience and personal superpowers and home profit, Juventus Tus couldn''t shake Millwall''s defense at all.


    After playing the game for half an hour, Aldridge also became quiet and watched the game with his hands on the sidelines.


    The two teams have entered a delicate balance, Juventus'' advantage has also been drawn closer by Millwall. If they do not invest more troops in the offense, Millwall will become more and more experienced in defense. Say, even if it takes 90 minutes, it''s no problem.


    The cheering of Alpi Stadium was shocking. Fans were also setting off fireworks in the stands, and smoke was billowing from a certain stand, but this failed to attract the attention of the players of the two teams.


    This powerful dialogue is still fierce and not exciting enough, because neither side will give the other a great opportunity, and some players want to solve the battle by individual combat. Piero and Larson have tried, but in the end The result was that the opponent was disturbed by the attack, but gave the opponent more confidence.


    In the first half, the two sides shook hands and made peace and walked into the locker room.

 Chapter 304： Seamless

    Today Millwall abandoned the "whirlwind sprint" feature that they are good at, and mainly stabilized the defense. Aldridge thought back and forth during the preparation period, and finally gave up the idea of ??anti-guest.


    The reason is very simple. In Wembley, Millwall played his own style, but there were not many absolute opportunities created. One of the two goals was an unexpected win, and one was a supplementary shot with accidental factors. The frontal offensive all the way to deter the opponent''s goal of the offensive cooperation, and did not hit much.


    If you still play like this on the road, Juventus might be happy to give it a big gift. On the basis of better performance and physical strength, they have a higher success rate in countering Millwall''s counterattack. Originally, in the Italian game, almost all the **** The team will fight back, because chain defense is the mainstream, everyone is defending, and then the defender quickly turns to attack the opponent to counterattack.


    Another factor is that the two teams have met once, and they have confidence in the opponent''s technical and tactical characteristics. In the second round, they can make stronger restrictions.


    Based on these factors, Aldridge decided to fight back on the basis of a solid defense, but judging from the situation in the first half, Juventus'' defense line is really leak-proof, and Millwall''s counterattack threat is very few.


    At halftime, Aldridge is not needed to boost morale, because everyone knows that there are still 45 minutes left, and as long as they don¡¯t let their opponents score, they will advance to the semifinals.


    This season, every step in the Champions League, they are making club history, but they are not satisfied with the history of the top 8 and the top 4.


    They have the ability to challenge the highest honor! The crown of the crowned king!


    Back in the second half, Aldridge was still standing on the sidelines. He specially observed Lippi''s expression, trying to find clues from the opponent''s face to reflect the opponent''s mood.


    Silver Fox, are you in a hurry?


    Aldridge was disappointed, Lippi walked out to sit down, his feet were steady, his expression relaxed, and his **** swallowed elegantly with a cigar.


    Somehow, Aldridge felt chills in his heart.


    Even Ferguson, under adverse circumstances, Aldridge can see a hint from the opponent¡¯s red nose and dignified expression, and then speculate on the opponent¡¯s subsequent technical and tactical changes, and have an intuitive grasp of the situation on the court. Not to mention Wenger, his body language was obvious when he was anxious on the sidelines, but Lippi did not even frown today, which made Aldridge not only lament the opponent''s unpredictable but also chilled in the bottom of his heart.


    Because the other party obviously has some reliance on it, but Aldridge cannot guess the other party''s true intentions.


    Are there any strangers?


    Juventus sent the strongest team, no one can get better results than these players.


    That can only be tactics.


    Tactics can be ever-changing, and the power is infinite. If there is a faint move, it is to destroy the Great Wall.


    If it is a fighting game, Lippi will not be as calm as it is now. Fighting is likely to damage the enemy by one thousand and damage by 800.


    At the beginning of the second half, Aldridge gazed at Juventus players'' running position changes and passing routes, which was the most critical offensive.


    But in general there is not much difference from the first half.


    After all, the player''s running range is already large, and the game rhythm is fast. Without a static contrast, it is difficult to notice the subtle changes.


    Inzaghi received the ball at the forefront of the strike line, did not pass, forced to turn and hit the goal, the ball was blocked by Southgate, and Macclelet grabbed the ball and passed the ball to Pirlo, which directly scored By the side, Shevchenko turned the ball and moved laterally. The front point of the Zhisai also ran to the foot of Trezeguet on the same side. Trezeguet was oppressed by Ferrara and also forced to knock back before dribbling to the bottom line. Outside the penalty area, Nedvide got the ball under Conti''s pressure, and then gave Shevchenko a horizontal knock. Shevchenko took a step but was accurately intercepted by Pesoto.


    Pesoto took a step forward after a successful steal. Aldridge saw his move, thinking that Juventus'' full-back was going to start forward assists.


    However, he guessed wrong, Pesoto just brought out the passing free time, and then handed the ball to Deschamps, who then distributed the ball to Davis who rushed forward.


    Davis drove the ball through the half, and Larson rushed over to rob him.


    Juventus still has no advantage in the ratio of offense and defense. Millwall has six people in the backcourt and four backs with double backs. Juventus has only five people including Davis, plus double forwards in the front and some forwards. Deschamps.


    How will this attack be played?


    Aldridge stared diligently at the opponent''s frontcourt. According to the habit of the first half, the ball should be handed over to Zidane, and then horizontally rid of the space created to pass directly or to the back to follow up. The field continues to move forward.


    However, when Aldridge saw Zidane''s position, he was startled.


    Zidane suddenly ran to the left-winger''s active area from the front waist. This position confuses Pirlo and Makelele. Pirlo chased two steps and suddenly hesitated, fearing that he would lose his defensive position. , Makelele is retreating deeper to protect the space behind.


    At the same time, someone ran to Zidane''s original position, and Aldridge saw the man and felt his scalp tingle.


    How can you forget such an important thing!


    He is not just a striker!


    Piero and Zidane completed a reverse running position in the left field of the front field, Zidane, Zidane was to the left and front, Piero ran back from the right and the two started almost simultaneously , And ran to the destination at the same time, and then in the process of 4 seconds, Millwall''s defensive players appeared flawed.


    Davis''s pass came as expected, the pass route remained unchanged, and it was still given to the front waist, but the person who received the ball was already Piero, and the Prince Zebra kept the ball straight to Zidane in front of the left, Peel The defensive line between Luo and Makelele was hesitant because of Zidane''s running position. Just a momentary flaw was caught by Juventus!


    Zidane received the ball near the line of the big penalty area, and the eager Schneider chose to destroy the ball under the opponent''s foot outside the penalty area. Zidane stepped on the ball and pulled a turn gracefully. In my heart: Forgot!


    Defensive Zidane, never stare at the ball, that is his puppet, will confuse your mind, let you be teased by the other side.


    Zidane took another step forward gracefully and calmly, and Elgra had to defend Zidane. He lowered his center of gravity and forced him up, preparing to rely on his body to squeeze each other.


    But as soon as he moved, Zidane picked up the ball with his foot, and a half-height ball less than one meter from the ground passed behind Elgra. Elgra lifted his leg to block, but the result made him hateful. His toes were less than twenty centimeters away from the ball, and he watched the ball fly towards his back.


    He had already seen a black and white figure rushing towards the ball in the corner of his eye, which made all defenders feel like they were on their backs.


    Green shade killer!


    When Elgra went to defend Zidane, Southgate moved laterally to make up the position, while Makelele also shrunk back to watch out for Piero''s forward insertion.


    However, Zidane''s pass was wonderful, and Inzaghi''s position was almost seamless.


    When Inzaghi sideways volleyed against the ball, Southgate almost did the same as Torricelli in the first round, flying shovel used his body to block the opponent''s shot.


    However, it is late!


    Inzaghi''s shot was impeccable, and the one thing he paid attention to was: ruthless!


    From the touch of his foot to the goal, the ball flew in the blink of an eye. Even if Bout blocked the near corner, he still couldn''t respond. The ball flew into the dead end of the goal from the top right of him!


    Southgate''s flying shovel is not over yet, he has turned his head to witness the ball slow down from the goal in the net, and then roll out...


    "Inzaghi, Inzaghi, Inzaghi, Inzaghi, Inzaghi! Inzaghi''s goal helped Juventus lead Millwall 1-0, with a total score of 2:2, Juventus rely on away The advantage of scoring has the right to advance! The game has a turning point in the 55th minute. From Millwall to ensure that the opponent can be eliminated without losing the ball, it becomes Juventus. As long as the ball is not lost for the next 35 minutes, then Juventus Sri Lanka will advance to the semi-finals! This offense is so wonderful. Zidane¡¯s running position and in-place performance are top performances. His assist for Inzaghi is also awesome. A light pick. Zaji turned around and volleyed, which is a wonderful cooperation between top players!"


    After Inzaghi scored, he frantically rushed to the sidelines to celebrate, and Juventus teammates all rushed past.


    Millwall''s players suffered a thunderbolt.


    They are no strangers to this goal.


    Because this is what they often type out!


    The forwards and the front waist reverse running position, which makes the defense of the opponent''s defender line and back waistline panic briefly. The opportunity is in the fleeting moment. The strong man can grasp it and then give a fatal blow.


    Millwall can also play this kind of cooperation. They rely on such exquisite cooperation to break the opponent''s fortress when they break the intensive defense. Can not reach the level of Juventus players, therefore, when Juventus in the short 10 seconds, from Davis to attack to be scored, the rate of Millwall defense line adjustment did not keep up with the opponent!


    Aldridge still put his hands in his pockets on the sidelines. Juventus'' goal can not be said to be accidental. This is definitely tactically well designed, but it is impossible for every such attack to be scored at a specific time. The next goal that evolved through the tacit agreement between the offensive players reached the peak, just like Millwall¡¯s first goal in the first round. day.


    Before Juventus came off the bench, the players and coaches were very excited, Lippi seemed to hold a lot, but just smiled and continued to smoke cigars.


    Aldridge pulled his hands out of his pockets, bent over to applaud the court, and cheered the players up.


    This is not the end of the world!


    After losing the ball, when some players were in a daze and appeared to be hit hard, Nedved quickly ran to the goalkeeper''s ball and then turned to run towards the frontcourt. He didn''t say a word, but he encouraged the team with action. Sgate also inspired his teammates after climbing up.


    With half an hour left in the game, Millwall could regain his initiative as long as he scored a goal.


    Aldridge was relieved now.


    At 2:1, as long as the ball is not lost, the team can advance.


    At 2:2, Millwall needs to score. If he can¡¯t score, he will be eliminated. Even if he plays a lot and is scored by his opponent, Millwall¡¯s prerequisite for promotion is still the same, he must score!


    Another Juventus hit, Millwall can pull the game into overtime as long as he pulls one back, although there is no home advantage, but at least will not be out in 90 minutes!


    Think of it like this, but not so afraid of losing the ball!


    If the destiny of the crazy lion to the European Champions Cup stage for the first time is down to the quarterfinals, then the final 35 minutes, as a decisive battle!

 Chapter 305： Fight in desperation

    The Alpi stadium was thunderous, and Juventus fans cheered for the sky. This made the 11 players on Millwall seem to have entered the tiger''s den. It was a feast of Juventus.


    After the game restarted, Aldridge adjusted his tactics. The team changed from 4231 defensive counterattacks to 433 oppressive offenses. The most intuitive adjustment is that the two full-backs are more involved in assists, and the two lower back positions are also premised. Interpolation, the scope of defensive pressure to expand.


    At the same time, Aldridge let all players on the bench except the goalkeeper warm up.


    Juventus wanted to anticipate the situation after scoring a goal, but they also changed the way of playing and became more flexible.


    Isn''t Millwall going to attack?


    We will keep!


    And the defense is very deep, and there is no room for deep offensive. In this way, as long as Millwall anti-robs the mistake, the backcourt is a flat horse, which is more conducive to the play of Juventus offensive players, and does not need to invest more troops. Zidane organized in the midfield, Inzaghi and Piero have more room to improve their personal abilities.


    If Millwall didn''t snatch, and withdrew to defend the first time, Juventus would be happier, kicking slowly, advancing little by little, if the offensive could not be reached, then retreat to reorganize the attack, patiently Consume opponents.


    In just 5 minutes from 55 minutes to 60 minutes, Aldridge had an insight into Juventus¡¯ wishful abacus. It¡¯s not difficult to guess. If he is replaced, he will do the same. Before the goal was scored, Millwall and Juventus played the same way now.


    If you can''t follow the rhythm of your opponent, you must first disrupt the rhythm. Even if Millwall can''t control it, you can''t let Juventus slowly eat up Millwall''s will.


    grab!


    Crazy rush from the striker line!


    This is risky, but there is no way to do it.


    After Millwall changed his style of play to 433, his own offensive had not improved. Instead, Juventus played like a fish, and the counterattack hit the wind.


    After taking the ball, Piero played unreasonably and suddenly. When he had room to start, Piero was one of the best players in the striker at this stage!


    When the ball went into the penalty area, he passed Capdevila who made a defense, and then he shot from left to right when he grabbed on Southgate. Fortunately, Makelele killed from behind, broke the ball and returned. Passing the goalkeeper, Bout kicked the ball to Schneider on the other side.


    The German took the ball and strode the meteor forward.


    In the case of tight defense by the opponent, if Millwall wants to break the balance, he can''t pass the ball without attracting the opponent''s defensive player. Some team members must play a role in involving and disrupting the opponent''s defense.


    Zidane¡¯s offense is world-class, but the defense does not dare to compliment. After all, the characteristics of the players are there, without too much demand. God is always fair. A player cannot be a combination of Nesta and Maradona.


    So he moved to the side symbolically, Schneider threw Zidane behind him as soon as the speed increased, and Schneider was still driving the ball forward. His forward assist was suddenly tricky.


    Juventus'' defense is very solid. Four defenders and three midfielders retreat to form a barrier. The two defenses form a tightly coupled iron chain. Schneider rushes along the sideline to try to attract the opponent to the midfielder. To rob him, but people don¡¯t rob him. By compressing the space and keeping the distance from his teammates, the center of gravity of the defense is slightly tilted. Schneider took the ball to the side of the wing and then faced Pesoto¡¯s frontal interception. At this time, only one foot can be crossed, but Juventus'' defense line is ready to fight for the header, which is not a test for them at all.


    Millwall''s offensive players pass through the fast-moving offensive routines that cannot completely shake Juventus'' chain defense, because the opponent does not give you layers of space to tear the defense.


    When the pass-and-cut pass was used for the running position, the ball was just passed by the ball and the opponent''s defensive player pressed the team member from behind, which prevented Millwall''s pass and cut from going smoothly.


    Instead, Juventus'' counterattack was more threatening than once. Zidane shook Pirlo in the midfield and rushed back, evading Makelele with a dazzling Marseille maneuver, and then handed the ball forward Inzaghi, who succeeded in anti-offside, saw Inzaghi going to the meeting alone. Fortunately, Bout abandoned the goal in time and destroyed the ball, otherwise Juventus is likely to expand the lead.


    Millwall''s oppressive offense and defense requires the goalkeeper not only to participate in the offense, but also to take care of the scavenger''s responsibility when defending, or to say, the scavenger goalkeeper. Area, acting as a scavenger.


    Butt did just fine, but Aldridge was too late to praise his performance.


    The game has reached 75 minutes, with less than 15 minutes left.


    He called Barak in front of him, then put his arms around the other''s shoulders and began to arrange the tasks after the game.


    "After playing, you and Nedved play a double midfielder. Our formation will be 4222. We will take 100% attention to read the game. Not only to observe the forward running position, but also pay attention to Nedved''s position. , He rushed to the first line, you are the responder, if he catches the ball and connects in series, you have to run forward to threaten the opponent''s goal, understand?"


    Barak nodded blankly.


    Aldridge replaced Shevchenko with Barak, allowing Larsson and Trezeguet to play double forwards, with a formation of 4222 to strengthen the offensive midfield.


    Originally, the side attack was the state of the pair of the full-back and the full-back, but the position of the full-back was not pushed forward. If Millwall needs to pass the ball, the full-back can complete the early pass in the full-back area, it is not necessary. Go to the opponent''s full-back.


    The position is 4222, and the key is how to run.


    Especially the double front waist Barack and Nedved, swapped with the double forward position, and reverse the interplay, this is the key point for Millwall to score goals.


    After this substitution was completed, in the next 5 minutes, Millwall''s two full-backs assisted and frequently used a cross to hit the goal to threaten the opponent.


    The tactical purpose is more clear, that is to lead the snake out of the hole.


    After all, there are many good players who can header in the middle, Larson, Trezeguet, Nedvide, Barak, these are all powerful roles to grab a header in front of the goal.


    However, Juventus''s defense was still intact, and even contracted even more. The full-backs also shrunk the restricted area and gave the side to Millwall.


    If the passing ball can penetrate Serie A''s top line of defense, is this too despising?


    Lippi sat steadily and smoked cigars leisurely, as if not worried about the game.


    Millwall''s offensive thunder and rain were small, and the actual threat was negligible. Lippi did not feel half-urgent. On the contrary, he had another inexplicable determination in his sly eyes that could not clearly see the colors.


    In the 82nd minute of the game, Millwall attacked the opponent''s goal with another wave of attack, but Larson grabbed the ball and was violently snatched by Montero. Then, Juventus launched a wave of seemingly devastating counterattack!


    Deschamps and Conte used two to one to get rid of Nedved''s counter-robbing, then Zidane and Conti made two over one and flicked away Pirlo. Zidane took the ball forward and put the ball in front of Makelele Passed to Davis, at this time, there were only four people left on the Millwall line, and Capdevila, who was assisting, was chasing back at full speed.


    Zidane ran to the left, Inzaghi was at the forefront, Piero moved to Millwall''s defense as a larger right, Davis drove the ball forward, and Makelele continued to retreat, but he was also distracted. Conti ran up, Juventus played 5 4!


    "Juventus counterattack! This is a great opportunity, they suddenly force when Millwall is unable to press back before the attack, this will be a key attack!"


    Makelele still didn''t grab, but retreated to protect the space according to the opponent''s offensive center of gravity. Davis had to pass the ball, otherwise Millwall had only four defensive players, but if he contracted in the penalty area, Juventus Sri Lanka may not be able to play a better offensive, just to fight fast!


    He saw Piero''s position, and then passed a ball to go there, but on the pass, Southgate suddenly killed and broke the ball accurately.


    Piero opened his hands in anger and made a madness.


    Early pass!


    Southgate''s steal is crucial, and he used a retreat to confuse Davis when he returned to defense. The timing was just right. He even looked back at the slow motion. Before Davis passed the ball, he consciously Go forward and block the pass.


    "It was a pity that this attack failed. Juventus missed a chance to expand the score. Lippi stood up for the first time in the game. He was very dissatisfied with this counterattack, as can be seen from his expression. He knew that if this attack could be made, Juventus would destroy Millwall¡¯s will!"


    There are six or seven minutes left in the game, and it is estimated that it will not exceed 10 minutes in stoppage time, because the second half of the game is very smooth, without excessive fouls and delays.


    Aldrich stood on the sidelines with his hands on his hips. The offense seemed to be in vain. Millwall''s offense seemed fierce, but in reality there was not much threat.


    Desperate, never experienced before!


    This feeling made him feel helpless, confused, and at a loss.


    What should he do?


    Have you given up?


    Juventus is outrageously spicy.


    Offensive and defensive, the counterattack just failed, Lippi''s anger was justified, Juventus had been brewing for so long, and was also seduce Millwall''s mad attack, the formation was pressed forward, and then suddenly a wave of counterattacks broke out, but ultimately failed. The chance just now was a hundred times better than their chance to score!


    Aldridge didn''t know if he should learn Guardiola at this time, so he went ahead and congratulated Lippi.


    This kind of confused thought only existed in his mind for a moment, he shook his head, and his heart was cruel: fucking, I didn¡¯t congratulate the other party, now is not the time for hypocrisy!


    At the end of the game, Aldridge was okay to show his manners, but now the game is not over, and encountered unprecedented difficulties, Aldridge did not want to bow his head, do not want to!


    If God will give Millwall a miracle, then Audridge will take the initiative to fight for this miracle!


    Millwall hasn''t made it out yet!


    Taking advantage of the chance of a dead ball, Aldridge rudely called Schneider to the side of the court, almost dragging the opponent''s jersey to him in front of him.


    Schneider was taken aback by Aldridge''s movements, thinking that he was angered by his poor performance.


    "Bernde, from the next second, never pass, take the ball inside, cut in, and then cooperate with his teammates and tell the same to Capdevila!"


    Schneider nodded when he heard it, and then quickly ran to Elgra, repeating Audridge¡¯s request, Elgra communicated to Southgate, and Southgate again to Capdevila .


    With less than 5 minutes left in the game, Aldridge loosened his tie and showed a stubborn look.


    Juventus, let''s gamble on whose life is harder!


    After Millwall makes further adjustments, he will put seven players on the offensive and press the whole line. In defense, the double guards add a single midfielder against the double forward and single midfielder of Juventus. Juventus will definitely have the upper hand. Even though Marklele¡¯s defense is master-level, it is definitely not as good as Zidane. Elgra and Southgate, and Piero and Inzaghi. If you are attacked by the opponent, the speed alone is far behind, and the backcourt has such a large space that the chance of Millwall''s defense being beaten is extremely high.


    Lippi saw Millwall''s two full-backs defending against the center line and was still on the sidelines when attacking. Only when the opponent''s dog jumped the wall and wanted to come, let the offensive players also recover and strengthen the defense, but still need to maintain a counterattack Deterrent.


    The game came to the final climax.

 Chapter 306： hero

    In preparing for the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Aldridge really imagined what to do if Juventus scored a goal.


    The first is 4231, which is radical 433. If there is no immediate effect, then change 4222, strengthen the attack on the middle, and the wing is responsible for delivering shells.


    But his pre-designed contingency strategy was completely ineffective. Juventus was not afraid of Millwall passing the ball. After compressing the midfield space, in the narrow area, the five-player attack combination in the frontcourt area of ??Millwall middle road fell into Surrounded by layers.


    At this time, the soldiers were needed, but it was not a player who changed the position to change the situation. On the bench of Millwall, the strongest personal ability is Ronaldinho. However, in this situation, Odrich does not think Ronaldinho will play. The performance is better than the players on the field, in particular, at this time, the team''s tacit agreement is even more needed!


    At this point, Ronaldinho and the main lineup have not reached a state of "heart and soul".


    There is one minute left before the game to enter the stage of injury stoppage time. Juventus fans in the stands of the Alpi Stadium are nervous. In the final stage, the Millwall army is under pressure. It can be intuitively seen that the mad lion has broken the ship!


    Juventus'' substitutes stood on the sidelines, it seems Lippi is preparing to use substitutions to delay the time. If the opponent completes this substitution, Juventus'' rhythm will be completely stabilized and the game situation will also occur. The earth-shaking changes, Millwall''s violent attack, and Juventus''s strict defense will produce an extremely powerful effect, then the game is over.


    "The game is about to enter full-time stoppage time, Millwall is still tirelessly attacking, Schneider dribbling the ball forward, hehe, Juventus does not seem to be worried about the German teenager on the wing. Threatening, pass the ball? Scramble for the landing point will not test the Serie A champion''s defense."


    Schneider brought the ball to the area about 35 yards from the bottom line. The three meters in front is Pesoto who defended him more successfully today. Unless Schneider does not make a one-on-one direct cross with the opponent, otherwise it is strong. The sudden success rate is not high.


    Time to pass?


    Pesoto lowered his center of gravity and went forward to defend. He was not even afraid that Schneider would want to pass him. What if he succeeded? The closer to the bottom line, the fewer choices Schneider has. With his tacit understanding with his teammates, transposition and defense can easily resolve the opponent''s offense.


    However, Schneider made an unexpected move, he buckled the ball under his foot to the inside, dribbling the ball inward!


    Deschamps and Conte saw in the middle of the road defense. The conditioned reflex blocked on the ground. Schneider stopped and turned to pass. He successfully passed Conte, but the ball space was compressed very narrowly. His foot The dribble was blocked by Deschamps and the ball flew towards the middle of the road. Zidane prepared to catch the ball. It seems that Millwall failed to attack this time, and Juventus fans were completely relieved. .


    Lippi saw this scene on the sidelines, and his pupils shrank suddenly.


    He even hoped that Zidane had a big foot to take the ball out of the sideline to allow Juventus to complete the substitution. He also went to give the bench a few words.


    The signs that Millwall''s full-back went inside made Lippi uneasy.


    In regular play, this is definitely a faint trick!


    Some teams can only use the wing forward but not the winger. The reason is that the winger cuts in or rushes into the penalty area to grab a point. This is very dangerous. The offense is a good threat. However, once the offense on this side cannot be played, the winger is behind Empty is the fertile ground for opponents to counterattack.


    The hidden danger of the winger brings pressure on his own defense, which makes many teams unable to use the wing role in tactics, not to mention the offensive linebacker? The full-backs are also very dangerous to assist on the wing, and the full-backs cut in again. Once the ball is intercepted, the defense on the same side of the backcourt is not weak, but it is completely undefended!


    But in turn, if the full-backs succeed inwardly, they will tear the Juventus line of defense. In the center area, Millwall''s attacking number is more than the opponent''s defending number! Because it cools Juventus'' full-back on the periphery.


    To make such an attack, the requirements are too high, the player''s ball control skills, the overall running position and the interplay, the timing and the accuracy of the fast ball.


    Schneider accidentally cut through Conte, but failed to pass the final threat, which is enough to attract Lippi!


    Zidane prepared to catch the ball with his back, and of course, he knew that his right back, that is, the area behind Schneider''s assists went up. There was a lot of space in Juventus'' counterattack. Offensive in the dead game!


    However, he hadn''t touched the ball yet. Makelele, who played against him in the match, and Pirlo, who was in the disadvantage of the game, came out from behind ghostly, and broke the ball with a foot. Zidane quickly robbed, but Makelele broke If you do not stay after the ball, you kick the ball and go to the left.


    Capdevila rushed before catching the ball, and took the ball to take the inward route. Juventus'' midfielder had just suffered a loss on Schneider''s side, which came back in less than 5 seconds. In the period of time, Millwall''s shock after a quick steal was even more threatening!


    Capdevila attracted Davis'' defense, he did not choose to pass, but passed the ball to Larson, who retreated, and then he rushed forward, like a winger. Rush forward to the opponent''s ribs.


    The same is true for Schneider on the other side. The two full-backs run straight into the ribs, plus Trezeguet in the middle also turns to counter offside. Two Juventus full-backs plus two central defenders Suddenly panicked on the last line of defense.


    Deschamps oppressed Larson, and Larsen stepped on his feet after receiving the ball. When Deschamps just moved, he pushed it sideways. Nedvide rushed forward with the ball bravely, and it was about to break through Juventus. A line of defense, between the electric light and the flint, Ferrara rushed up to intercept Nedved, and even made up his mind to knock down the opponent outside the penalty area!


    However, Nedved made an unexpected move, he suddenly stopped, and then pushed the ball sideways, Barak rushed forward in front of Conte and rushed forward to break through Juventus. The whole line of defense!


    Half single pole!


    Everyone in the Alpi stadium is nervous, and his scalp is numb and gazing!


    Trezeguet pulls horizontally to pull out his free time, screaming at Ballack with a stern expression!


    Nedvide also went around and prepared for an outsourcing. Larson could also receive a return pass from Barak to form a goal on the right side behind Trezeguet.


    Juventus four defenders squeezed towards the middle, all three midfielders plus the trident ran towards the goal!


    Life and death!


    Barak swings his legs and chooses to shoot himself.


    He wants to be a hero!


    At this moment, he remained calm, dared not to force too hard to hit the flying ball, and chose to push the far corner!


    Aldridge didn''t dare to blink his eyes. He didn''t know that the clenched fist was trembling at this moment, and his fingernail had already cut his palm.


    The whole audience was in an uproar!


    Barack''s shot was saved!


    Although Peruzzi was a little fat, he didn''t fall down slowly. After falling sideways, he blocked the ball with one hand and the ball bounced out!


    Just when the Juventus fans lamented the great disaster, the ball landed on the middle of the inside of the big penalty area line, and a silhouette came, and the ball was a volley against the falling ball!


    The ball flew to the bottom right corner of the goal like a meteor. It was still the side of Peruzi that fell to the ground, and it passed through Deschamps, and then quickly crossed between Montero''s legs. Finally, at the goal Rotate continuously in the net nest, the speed is getting slower and slower, and become static!


    "Pirlo! Pirlo! Pirlo saved Millwall! He lore Juventus! Lore! Lore! Lore! Millwall climbed back from the death line and only had one ticket to heaven , Just as Juventus was about to open the door to heaven, Pirlo kicked Juventus to hell. He led Millwall to start the countdown. As soon as the game was over, they would laugh and open the door and bathe in In the light and glory!"


    In the 90 minutes of the game, within 90 minutes, Pirlo, who directly threatened the goal of Juventus, was zero. At this moment, perhaps he should be thanked for his speed, so he was not as fast as his teammates when attacking, and he was not as good as Juventus. The speed of Slovakia''s back defense, therefore, the players of Juventus rushed past him to return to the defense, and he only ran to the line of the restricted area when he blocked Barak''s shot at Peruzzi.


    But because he didn''t rush his head, it happened to catch the ball landing point, and then put the ball into the Juventus gate with a calm mind and excellent footwork.


    After Pirlo scored, the whole person looked like a wild cat with a blown hair. He roared and ran to the away bench. The Millwall players were chasing his back.


    The bench was boiling, the coaches and the players all rushed out. After seeing the goal, Aldridge saw the referee''s finger at the center line confirmed that the goal was valid. He also fell into a runaway and his expression slightly roared distortedly. , Conditioned reflexively rushed into the field to find Pirlo, he ran a few steps and jumped up and waved his fists wildly in the air, his body trembling uncontrollably, that was excitement, that was caused by the adrenaline surge Physical response.


    After Pirlo and Aldrich rushed together, the two embraced each other''s face with both hands, and together let out their passion with a roar.


    Players and substitutes from all over the field crowded them in the center, then hugged and tightened, and gathered into a big circle.


    The Alpi stadium was silent, and the fans in the stands could not accept the result of the lore by holding their heads with both hands.


    Juventus players were even more unacceptable, and Perugia hit the ground with fists and roared.


    Lippi was expressionless on the sidelines. He canceled the substitution because he was originally a defensive player and removed one of the strikers.


    Now, Juventus need to score goals, and even if he can score a goal, but also play overtime, so he can not replace the offensive player.


    After the celebration at Millwall, Aldridge quickly picked up Materazzi and Gattuso wearing substitute shirts, and quickly arranged the tasks for the two after playing. At the same time, he pointed to the two to the sidelines. Jensen gestured, and Jensen immediately understood that the substitution!


    Before returning to the sidelines, Aldridge kept reminding each player of the change in position on the court. There was one minute of stoppage time, maybe another minute, but Millwall had to change his formation.


    Also play 4222, that will definitely not work.


    When Juventus set the formation for kick-off, Millwall used the last two substitutions.


    Materazzi went on and replaced Trezeguet.


    Gattuso replaced Pirlo.


    After Materazzi played, he cleared the scavengers, and the Millwall line fully withdrawn and compressed the backcourt space.


    The barriers in front of the back line are Gattuso, Makelele, Barak, Nedved.


    Only one Larson is left in the middle as an arrow character.

 Chapter 307： Who he is

    When Juventus kicks in again, there will be only 40 seconds left in injury time, but the referee will definitely make up a little more time as appropriate.


    In this regard, Aldridge does not care, as long as it is not exaggerated for more than 2 minutes, he can accept it.


    Now the situation on the court has completely reversed.


    Especially with regard to mentality.


    Millwall scored a goal, the flames soared, Juventus lost the ball in stoppage time, this blow is almost thunderous.


    The most important thing is that Millwall is not afraid of losing the ball, even if it is lost, the big deal is playing overtime, and if Juventus can¡¯t score in the last few minutes, then it is definitely out.


    The Juventus kick-off formation is more like a rugby ball. In addition to the goalkeeper, other players line up in the center line to prepare for a sprint. When Inzaghi kicked the ball to Piero, all Juventus players Run away to the front field.


    Millwall is a scavenger + four guards + four backs + single forward contraction position to protect the goal strictly.


    Zidane took the ball in the centre line and waited. When Juventus players all rushed to the opponent''s penalty area, he took another big foot to directly hang the ball into the penalty area. To fight, but the faster one is Bout, he chose to attack, and then jumped high to hit the ball out of the periphery, and was fully prepared to consciously hit the ball to the right without the Juventus player. .


    Barak rushed over to receive the ball and then controlled the ball in place. When Juventus'' frontcourt players threw up like a wolf, he chose a ground ball.


    Larsen received the ball and rushed forward, almost a single-handed ball, but Juventus'' excellent physical defenders quickly rushed back, Larson''s physical strength can not be rushed, and the distance between the two sides Larsson wisely chose to use moderate force to kick the ball out of the sideline near the bottom line when he was about to catch up.


    It took a lot of time just for the ball to slowly roll out of the sideline. Peruzzi did not catch up with it, and then waited for the Juventus player to run back when he got the ball out of bounds to serve the ball. .


    After Pesotto received the out-of-bounds ball, he turned and turned a big foot to the frontcourt, but was snatched by Nedvide to make a save. Larson received the ball again, and then did not rush, went directly to a big foot Hanging the goal, Peruzi finished the sideline, Juventus goal is empty.


    But the distance is too far, Larson''s long-distance hanging ball is a bit outrageous.


    When Perugia ran back to the goal and kicked the goal kick, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game.


    "The second round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals ended with a focus battle at the Alpi Stadium. Millwall from England scored a 1-1 away draw with Juventus by a lore goal before the final, with a total score of 3 : 2 to advance to the semi-finals! This is Millwall''s first time in the UEFA Champions League. Young coach Audrey Hall has made history today. This is not only written into the history of English football, but also the history of the European Champions Cup. A 21-year-old head coach led the team into the semi-finals of the Champions League, maybe they can go further because they defeated Juventus, who has won a championship and a runner-up once in the past two years. Today¡¯s hero is an Italian. Pirlo, his goal defeated the Italian giant Juventus, but we should note that the two successful steals made by Makelele and Southgate on the team''s full line are crucial, if not twice Successfully stifled Juventus'' counterattack. Juventus may not let opponents **** the semifinals. In any case, the young Millwall is worthy of our expectations. I hope that in the semi-finals, we can still see their wonderful performance. ."


    At the end of the match, all Millwall players were relieved and then excitedly celebrated today''s hard-won victory.


    Southgate knelt on his knees and shouted, while Schneider was directly tired lying on the turf, closing his eyes to reveal an intoxicating smile. Larson squatted on the field and suddenly vomited a few bitters of water, and Pirlo was replaced. He has been standing on the sidelines for the next time, and now sits down, with his hands behind his back, panting but laughing happily.


    ...


    Aldridge temporarily suppressed the excitement in his heart, walked to shake hands with Lippi calmly, Lippi encouraged a few words in his ear, and then patted his shoulder to leave first, Aldridge was glad to accept each other¡¯s Blessings and praise, and then walked back to the field, the camera next to him has been following him, recording his words and deeds.


    Aldridge, who has not celebrated for a long time, sent a classic scene to the press today. It was a moment of sentiment, and he could not use reason to drive behavior.


    Aldridge first came to Larson, the team doctor was checking his condition, Aldridge asked with a smile: "How is it? Need a big break?"


    Larsson was just too tired. Millwall¡¯s tactics required a large range of offensive players to withdraw. Larsson has always been conscientious and well done, so his running distance has always ranked second in the team. The first is Nedved.


    "Oh, I will not miss the semifinals and finals."


    Larsson replied feebly. Nedved came over to support him. The two came to hug and advanced to the semifinals. They were one step closer to conquering Europe!


    Pirlo was also dragged by Materazzi, and Gattuso took two bottles of mineral water to open the lid, pouring the water on top of his head behind Pirlo.


    Aldridge walked over to Schneider, bent down and patted his chest, and asked, "How do you feel?"


    Schneider sat up and said, "The whole body seems to be falling apart. Boss, who will we fight in the semifinals?"


    Aldridge shrugged and smiled, "I don''t know who he is."


    Schneider laughed and nodded, "Yes, no matter who he is, no one can stop us from reaching the finals."


    "Wrong, wrong, no one can stop us from taking the trophy home!"


    ...


    After the team members have alleviated the exhaustion of high-intensity games, everyone stood together to thank the fans on the sidelines.


    At this time, Aldridge noticed that there were only about a thousand lion fans scattered in the stands, and the places where there were empty seats before the game were also the seats of the visiting team fans.


    It is very strange that the official sales of away tickets are more than 2,500, plus some scattered fans will buy tickets on the black market, and the fans of the visiting team should have at least 3,500 talent pairs on the scene today.


    Aldridge suppressed his doubts and joined hands with the players to thank the visiting fans in the stands.


    Some of these crazy lion fans wept with joy, some kept applauding, and some kept cheering.


    They witnessed a great game. Although the viewing was not enough, they were full of emotions. Millwall attacked tirelessly when the score was behind. The team''s dedication paid off.


    The wild lion Millwall entered the semi-finals, and as long as they defeated two opponents, three games, they will rule Europe!


    When all this is over, the players go back to the locker room to pack up their clothes, and Aldridge will go to the post-match press conference.


    The English reporters really felt so angry today, Millwall lived up to their expectations, carried the flag of England, and eliminated their opponents at home by the Italian champion known as the world¡¯s first league. This was a difficult victory. It was also a great victory.


    Italian journalists are more depressed. Parma is out of the group stage. Juventus fell to the semi-finals before Italy¡¯s Champions League ended this year.


    In the case that the Italian team can finally reach the Champions League final for six consecutive years, this year''s momentum was ended by Millwall. To be bigger, the Italian team has missed the Champions League final only once in the past nine years. In the past ten years, the Italian team has reached the final 8 times, which is also a remarkable achievement, proving the dominance of the Serie A team on the European stadium from the side.


    After the game interview, there was no sword and sword, Aldridge calmed down, eliminated Lippi''s team, and did not show an attitude of contempt for each other, but instead praised Juventus and Lippi, frankly his team won by will and luck It is the players'' belief in winning that ultimately determines the outcome of the game, and Lippi is respectable, and he is still far away from the opponent.


    His humble attitude won the favor of the Italian media, which everyone knows.


    In the course of the game, everyone who has seen it will not think that Millwall wins with an overwhelming advantage, or that they don¡¯t have much advantage at all. The goal at the last minute does have luck. Juventus has two absolute advantages. The good chance is not grasped, this is the turning point of the game.


    This game can summarize the questions commented on, Aldridge answered them one by one as usual, and when he faced the question of looking forward to the semifinals, he smiled.


    "When you advance to the semi-finals by eliminating opponents of the Juventus level, you will be greatly encouraged by your confidence. At the same time, you will see the shadow of the championship trophy. The opponents of the semi-finals will come out tomorrow. Is it Monaco or Manchester United? I don¡¯t really care, because no matter who the opponent is, we will go all out to fight for the finals. My team is young, but because of the youth, we need to prove ourselves through the trophy! I believe Millwall has reached Europe The top level, but this level is not at an absolute height. Like us and Juventus, I think there is a gap between the two, but it is not big. This situation also exists between us and other top four teams. This will be a contest between the strong, but no one can easily win. Without paying more than usual, you can''t beat your opponent!"


    "Then Millwall will focus on the Champions League next, but the team is only in the third place in the Premier League, have you given up defending?"


    This is a question from a Fleet Street reporter.


    On this occasion, at a press conference arranged by UEFA, journalists from other countries did not care much about the news about the Premier League.


    Aldridge still answered the question.


    "The energy of the players is limited. I can¡¯t hypocritically tell the players to divide their energy and physical energy evenly, so that the league and the Champions League are kept at the same level. That is impossible. We will do our best to play the Champions League and maybe play. Out of 90 points, but if it is averaged, it may be only 70 points. The league is not over, we have encountered difficulties in the intensive schedule, but the club will make the most of resources in difficult situations, and respond appropriately and appropriately to the next I firmly believe there is hope for the league¡¯s title, but Millwall does not take the initiative."


    The answer to this question is a true truth. Millwall is behind in points and ranked third, of course, no initiative.


    After the press conference, Aldridge boarded the bus with the team members, preparing to go to the airport and leave Turin.


    But just after he got on the bus and took out his mobile phone, he found many missed calls and text messages. After reading the text, he immediately called the bus to stop. He got out of the car and took a taxi to Turin. Police station.


    It is very strange that Brady, Fred, Sol and a group of roar fans were put in the police station...

 Chapter 308： Aldridge is a football hooligan

    The city of Turin is full of charming colors at night. As a famous car city in Europe, this city is a combination of modernization and classics.


    Aldridge sat on a taxi and watched the city view here. He didn''t take Brady''s distress message as seriously.


    But when he got out of the car and walked into the police station, he realized that things were not what he thought.


    The police in Turin asked about his identity, while Aldridge said he was the owner and head coach of Millwall.


    The Italian policeman in his forties curiously asked him to take out his documents. Audric took out his wallet, took the documents out of it, and then walked to the place where Brady was temporarily detained under the leadership of another policeman.


    On the way, Aldridge curiously inquired about the cause and passing of the leading police.


    "What laws have they violated in Turin?"


    "They are football hooligans."


    "Ah? Are they in trouble?"


    "No, but when we were about to deport them, they protested together and refused to cooperate with us, so they were temporarily detained, and after a while, they waited for Juventus and Millwall after the game. Fans go home and they can be released."


    Aldridge heard that his face became unsightly, and asked: "They did nothing, you will deport them?"


    "Yes, because they are football hooligans."


    "They didn''t do anything, how do you know they are football hooligans?"


    "This is the job of our police, it has nothing to do with you. It''s here."


    Aldridge was taken to the hallway and saw the overcrowding in the detention room through the doors and windows. The three of Brady, Fred and Sol leaned against the wall. The three dressed in the same dress as the others and wore Millwall jerseys. There are club scarves hanging around the neck, and some people still hold a rolled banner.


    Judging from Brady''s text messages and phone time, it was about half an hour before the start of the game. At that time, Aldridge had entered the game and would never let the phone distract him, so the phone was silent. Mode, there is no vibration.


    Then their phones were confiscated.


    If the police judges them as football hooligans, doing so can avoid causing riots. As for whether they have power or not, they are treated differently. There is no absolute equality and freedom in this country called the free world.


    When the police opened the door, they used batons to warn the people inside not to act rashly.


    But when Brady saw Aldridge, they immediately rushed towards him.


    "Are we promoted?"


    A group of people gathered in front of Aldridge and asked anxiously.


    Aldridge nodded with a smile: "1:1, the total score of 3:2 eliminated Juventus."


    "Yay!"


    The crowd burst into cheers, Brady kissed Aldridge with a face, and others followed suit, scrambling to kiss Aldridge.


    Frightened, Aldridge stepped back and forth. At this moment, a policeman ran from the corridor, pointing to Aldridge and said to the policeman who led the way: "He is also a football hooligan, shut him up first!"


    Aldrich understood Italian, and was pushed by the police before turning back. The whole person stumbled into the detention room, and then the door was closed. Aldridge beat the door incredulously and shouted: "Hey, there is No mistake? I am a football hooligan? I am the head coach of Millwall! Do you really not know who I am? Look at the football newspaper. Have you watched the live TV broadcast of the game just now? I must have appeared on the TV screen. !"


    A door opened, and the police outside said coldly: "We don''t watch the Juventus game, we are Turin fans, the whole family, don''t quarrel, let you go after two hours, don''t make trouble. "


    Aldridge was so angry that no one said anything no matter what.


    Brady smiled at him at the back: "Stop shouting, they will ignore you. What were you talking to them just now?"


    "I told them I was the coach of the team, but they were Turin fans and didn''t care about Juventus news at all."


    "Oh, I have the strength, I appreciate this kind of fan."


    Aldridge gave him a blank look and chuckled: "Do you think these Turin fans are the same as Millwall fans? Even if the team is unknown, they are loyal and honest?"


    Brady and the others looked at each other and asked: "Isn''t it?"


    "It''s a fart! When Turin swept through Italy, Juventus was nothing. When they were cattle in Turin, there were 11 main players, and 9 of them were the main force of the Italian national team. Unfortunately, a plane crash hurt Turin. Juventus has risen in this city, and Turin is more profound than Milwall than history. Unfortunately, Turin is not Manchester United. If Turin can rise again after the air crash, hehe, the three giants in northern Italy, maybe Who and who is inside?"


    Brady and others listened and listened, as if they were stories.


    Aldridge sat down next to the wall and felt his luck on his head.


    "Why are you locked in too?"


    Fred asked curiously.


    Aldridge sighed in a low voice: "They say I am a football hooligan, just like you, speaking, what the **** are you doing?"


    Salton shouted excitedly: "We didn''t do anything! Just like before, hurried to Turin, and then was denied entry by the police when we entered. Many of us were accused of being football hooligans. They A lot of buses were prepared, and many companions were taken directly to the buses and sent away. Of course we disagreed, so we rebelled, and then we are here."


    Aldridge touched his pocket. The other party just shut himself in without confiscating his cell phone, so he called Jensen to save him.


    After he finished the phone call, Brady and the others were relaxed. They came to watch the game. The game was over and the most desired result was obtained. The mentality suddenly became calm.


    "Hey, Aldrich, what the **** is going on with you? Is it Juventus'' conspiracy? We can''t go into the court to cheer for the team."


    Brady lit a cigarette and handed it to Aldridge. After Aldridge took it, he took a breath and found that many of the fans next to him looked at themselves with surprised eyes.


    Although they are members of the Roaring Fan Organization, there is really no chance to get in touch with Aldridge. The club will talk to the fan organization representatives every month, and it may not necessarily select the Roaring Fan Organization every time.


    Aldridge grinned and said, "I''m not a player, what''s wrong with smoking a cigarette? I''m not a big deal. You didn''t go to the game today. If you watch it, you know that men smoke cigars. Who is it."


    "Who?"


    "Rippy."


    "Head coach of Juventus?"


    "Yeah, I commanded the team on the sidelines. He just sat there smoking a cigar. It seemed that I wanted to blow him up, but I was very envious in my heart. There was a kind of elegance that I couldn''t imitate."


    Brady sniffed: "What''s the use? It''s not lost to us mad lion."


    Aldrich shook his head and said, "When you go back and watch the game video, you will know what''s going on."


    "To tell the truth, do you know what''s going on?"


    Aldridge''s expression became a little dignified and said softly: "Do you know what the English fans'' reputation in Europe is?"


    Mentioned this, everyone was silent.


    To be honest, although England fans have a deep cultural heritage, they are imitated by fans around the world.


    But in this era, English fans are notorious in Europe, especially in Italy.


    People look at English fans with discrimination or even a grudge. 99.9% of the fans are law-abiding, but they are still regarded as football hooligans.


    Debt repayment!


    Contemporary England fans have to pay off debts for the notorious football hooligans of the last era!


    England did have a long period of rampant football hooligans, riots continued, troubles continued, and even tragedies such as the Heather tragedy, especially Belgian and Italian fans, I am afraid that they will never be able to forgive England¡¯s football hooligans, which led to the two countries. The loss of innocent fans turned Heather into a purgatory.


    And a dozen years later, English fans enjoyed the "second-class citizen" treatment in Europe.


    Aldridge said heavily: "You should all know how other clubs arrange their fans in the European War?"


    Speaking of this, Brady nodded with a serious expression, and some fans in the crowd sneered: "Like Manchester United is a vampire, fans have to go to cheer for the team on the road, but they have to pay three times the normal bills. Let¡¯s go for the away package! Mr. Hall, you admire this without learning Manchester United, otherwise we will also protest and resist."


    Aldridge sighed softly that the away package was provided to fans by the European War England Club. Such a package is a round-trip air ticket, watching tickets, and travel costs bundled together, which is about 3 times higher than normal consumption. If you don¡¯t accept it, you won¡¯t be able to buy away tickets from the club. This away game is just a European competition abroad.


    The origin of this model is that England fans will go to other European countries to play away with the team, and they will be attacked by some extremists. In order to ensure the safety of fans, the club is arranged for easy management.


    However, this lacks humanity, and it is natural for fans not to accept it. It costs a lot of money, but the result is to get on the plane, get off the plane, take the car to the stadium, watch the ball and then take the car to the airport and fly back to the UK.


    You don¡¯t even have a chance to visit the scenery of a foreign country, and you don¡¯t have a chance to taste delicious food. Who would be happy to be the wrongdoer?


    Millwall did not use this "away package", but when selling tickets for the European War away, negotiate with the opposing club in advance, so that the opposing party should definitely separate the away team''s seat from the home team''s fan seat, so at least it can be guaranteed When the game is going on, the fans of both sides will not clash in the stands.


    Does Millwall still have football hooligans?


    There may be, but no such organization can blatantly appear in the stands.


    In addition to the team¡¯s attention in the Premier League game, after the police maintained the order of the game, after two or three years of vigorous remediation, Millwall¡¯s former football hooligans either disappeared or moved to the loosely managed low-level team game stands to make trouble In addition, Aldridge had asked Andrew to bribe the chief of the London Police Department, killing many of the main members of the football hooligan. Now the Millwall fans are fanatical, passionate, rational, elegant, but not intentional Troublesome.


    Therefore, Millwall is playing in the group stage, visiting Barcelona, ??Eindhoven, Dynamo Kiev, and the fan groups are all at ease, and there are no hidden dangers.


    So why did the Italian police decide that Millwall fans are football hooligans?


    Aldridge thought of a possibility.


    The opponent has a list, a list of football hooligans.


    The initiator of this list is, without a doubt, the British police.


    Going back further, then, the source is Mrs Thatcher, the Iron Lady.


    During her ruling, she severely hit football hooligans, and politely issued a blockade order. The attacking face was "I would rather kill three thousand by mistake, and leave one person alone!"

 Chapter 309： Play by question

    Nearly an hour after Aldridge finished the phone call, the door of the detention cell finally opened again.


    Ewen''s arms around her chest, dressed in a black lady''s suit and narrow skirt, appeared in front of everyone with a playful smile.


    "Oh, you are really uneasy like a child."


    Although Aldrich and others were put in the police station, Yiwen came here to see their appearance and felt very happy.


    Is Aldridge so ugly!


    But she hadn''t been proud for a few seconds, and like Aldridge''s previous, the Torino police passed the investigation and listed Ewen as a football hooligan...


    boom!


    The door of the detention cell was closed.


    Yi Wen slammed the gate in anger.


    Aldridge and Brady laughed together!


    Yiwen turned around and said angrily: "What are you laughing at? These policemen are rude and rude! I will sue them!"


    Aldridge put his smile away and asked, "What about people in other clubs?"


    Yiwen didn''t have a good air: "All have gone back to London by plane."


    "You came alone?"


    "I am alone, who knows what is going on."


    Yiwen bulged half of her cheeks to help sulking.


    I laughed at them just now, and in a blink of an eye, I fell into the jaws with them.


    Aldrich understood this. Today, the British can''t do it.


    There are only two options now. One is to wait. After more than an hour, they will be released.


    The second option is to find an Italian to come forward.


    Aldridge pulled out the phone and looked for Galiani¡¯s phone number in the phone book.


    After playing in the past, I found that the total is now in Turin!


    He also went to the Alpi Stadium to watch the ball, and closely inspected Shevchenko''s performance and status on the field.


    After the game, I went back to the hotel and planned to return to Milan tomorrow morning.


    Galliani heard Aldridge''s story and once thought that the other party was joking about himself.


    The three sons of the Hall family, the owner and coach of the Millwall Club, had just eliminated Serie A giant Juventus in the highly anticipated Champions League game. It was when the spring breeze was successful that they entered the police station and were convicted of football hooliganism.


    This Nima is ridiculous!


    Galliani quickly drove from the hotel to the police station. He was definitely a celebrity, inquired about some news, and then saw Aldridge in the detention room.


    Aldridge was free, but other partners were still being held. When they saw Galiani''s face, Aldridge came out first.


    Galliani invited Aldridge to rest at the hotel, but Aldridge was at the gate of the police station. He had learned the inside story from Galliani.


    As expected, the Italian police had a blacklist. Brady, Fred and others were on the list. Even Audridge and Ewen were no exceptions.


    Aldrich was curious about the origin of this list. Galliani was inside the police station to explore the inside through his personal connections. It was learned that many years ago, police around the UK cracked down on football hooligans, and the suspected list will be shared with Europe. Police in various countries, some fans who are on the blacklist will be refused entry even when passing through customs, and many are like the fans of Millwall today, when they want to enter the game to be taken away by the police to avoid riots.


    They determined that these blacklists provided by the British police were hidden dangers in the stadium and the game, and were the key targets.


    Aldridge has always been on this blacklist, but since he became the manager of Millwall, whether it is to enter or fight in the European War, it is with the club. The police will not put his name in the blacklist information database. Troubleshoot.


    Unlucky today, I ran to the police station and caught the net.


    After learning the inside story, Galliani''s eyes changed when he saw Aldridge.


    "Mr. Hall, uh, if I remember correctly, you are 18-year-old coaching Millwall, that is to say, you were included in this blacklist before the age of 18, and I didn¡¯t expect that before the age of 18, you were a An avid fan."


    Galliani used the adjective of enthusiasm, not daring to use "hooligans" to cover Audric.


    Aldridge gave him a blank look and said angrily: "I am a fanatical! Why am I being judged as a football hooligan? I don''t even know it, somehow."


    Galliani touched his nose and did not argue with the other party. He asked curiously: "What are you going to do now? I checked the flight. If you want to go back to London, you have to wait for tomorrow morning, so I can book a hotel for you Right?"


    Aldrich stood with his arms akimbo outside the police station, annoyed: "No, it can''t be counted like this! Is there any human rights? Is there any other law? I am a law-abiding good citizen who has been treated so unfairly, I won''t give in!"


    "Succumb? I think it''s just a misunderstanding."


    Galliani hadn''t turned his head for a while, but when he saw Aldridge pretending to be angry, but his eyes had another meaning, he looked at the police station again, and suddenly realized: This kid is really the ghost of his mother! This is to take advantage of the topic to play the hearts of people! Grass, the Hall family quickly went bankrupt, so that Milan can dig him as a coach, both to win the championship and make money!


    Galliani really guessed right, Audric is to use the question to play, by the way, buy the hearts of people.


    He turned to Galliani and said sincerely: "This time, thank you, you go back first, I will deal with the rest."


    Galliani roughly thought of what the other party was going to do, and staying here would have a negative impact, so let''s just walk away.


    After saying goodbye to Galliani, Odri? immediately called Andrew and asked him to arrange for a lawyer to come, and also called the reporters on Fleet Street who he knew well.


    The reporters who came with Millwall from afar did not leave in advance. Most of them rushed to the manuscript at the workstation or hotel, and then sent it back to their headquarters for publication tomorrow. David Miller of the Times was in the hotel. He is still working. He has just collected and compiled the game data and information. He is writing a technical and tactical analysis and review of the game report and summary. The phone rang for a long time before he picked it up to answer.


    "Mr. Hall, Millwall is already on his way home. Are you too happy to be promoted and now it is a prank?"


    "Believe it or not, you don''t want the news to fall down!"


    Dududu......


    David Miller frowned and looked at the phone. He thought: This young handsome really doesn''t stop.


    Shaking his head, he called other colleagues in Turin and asked his colleagues to follow up on this breaking news. He was originally a very professional reporter for football. This kind of news has little to do with the football game itself. He is not very keen.


    Thompson and Richard, who have a close relationship with The Sun and the Daily Mail, also reside in Turin. Their work is over. Half an hour after the press conference after the game, they I sent the news manuscript back to London and am now relaxing in the bar.


    But as soon as they received a call from Aldridge, the two immediately rushed to the place of the incident, and at the same time called other colleagues, they naturally understood that the news that was about to come was not written by a pen, and took a few photos. The photo is so simple, it needs a full-length camera to be attractive.


    When this information is constantly spreading, I don¡¯t know who leaked the wind. The first Italian media arrived on the scene, and then the mainstream TV media such as the BBC also swarmed in.


    Outside the Turin police station, the reporters saw a very strange sight.


    Aldrich, who has just made a big news in the Champions League, actually sat cross-legged outside the Turin police station. Whether it is a policeman, a pedestrian passing by, or the reporters who rushed to the scene to ask, he said nothing. The face stared at the police station seriously.


    Sit in protest? !


    Until midnight, the game of Millwall''s guest challenge to Juventus has long ended. After the game, both fans also returned home. When there would be no disturbance or conflict on the street, the Turin Police Department finally detained them temporarily. Some Millwall fans were released.


    When Brady and others walked out of the police station, they saw a spectacular sight.


    In the middle of the door, Aldridge sat cross-legged, a person behind him, a camera, a microphone, and a TV host who was holding a microphone to live broadcast the incident on the camera. The lights flashed and the crowd was crowded.


    Brady, Fred, Sol, and Ewen are the ones who know Audridge''s style best. They don''t need Audridge to say anything. Even if they don''t need to look at one, the three men walk directly behind Audridge. He sat down cross-legged, his face becoming serious.


    Yiwen couldn''t sit down in a narrow skirt, so she took the initiative to go to the reporter to be interviewed.


    Other crazy lion fans were already holding their grievances, and spent money to watch the game and travel. As a result, the game was not regarded as a dry night in the detention room of the police station. I have to pay another sum of money to go to the hotel, and I just protest here.


    This time, there were more than a hundred protesters gathered outside the police station. Brady privately said a few words to a fan to let them contact the crazy lion fans detained by other police stations. Everyone met here.


    There are more and more people protesting.


    Yi Wen protested facelessly to the TV footage of media in various countries to protest the brutal and brutal law enforcement methods of the Turin police.


    "Our fans came here to cheer for the team. If there are indeed people who are troublemakers, the police have enough evidence and reason to detain these people and keep them away from the stadium to avoid disaster. However, our fans have nothing. I¡¯ve suffered unfounded accusations and punishments. Of course, you can think of me as a fan of defending Millwall. This is my side of the word. However, as the team¡¯s head coach Odrich Hall, he came here. Understand the situation, want to help fans detained for no reason, but also detained by the police. The reason for the Turin police is: Audridge Hall is a football hooligan. I don¡¯t know what evidence they have, Hall as a public figure, Whether he is a football hooligan or not, everyone knows that Millwall¡¯s coach is accused of being a football hooligan and detained. This is something we cannot bear, and we must be treated and responded fairly.¡±


    Just as Yiwen was interviewing, a local outside the crowd suddenly shouted: "British scum, get out of Italy!"


    Many TV cameras went back to take pictures of the man, and Yiwen immediately said: "Look, maybe the root of the problem is not what the Millwall fans came here to do, but we have suffered discrimination and resentment. This in turn leads to unfair treatment."


    Journalists from various media scoffed.


    This kind of thing is commonplace.


    If the scene changes, the Italians are protesting in London, it is estimated that the British will also clamor for the Italians to get out.


    In which country does the league have no excessive fan base? Not to mention whether they can calm down and welcome foreign fans, their internal struggles have not stopped, Italy is not only the security of Derby off the court, the North-South confrontation is a long time, this kind of scene is also common in Britain.


    It¡¯s just that Millwall¡¯s fans are in trouble. That¡¯s definitely not going to happen. But today¡¯s lead is Aldridge. This is not the same. Especially, Aldridge himself is accused of being a football hooligan. The place was detained, which is not easy to end!

 Chapter 310： National idol

    The incident was a bit big.


    The Torino police had to explain to the public, and the Mayor of Turin also spoke with Aldridge.


    This incident continued until late at night before it came to a close.


    The final freeze in front of the public is Audric and the Mayor of Turin smiling and shaking hands with each other, revealing to the outside world that the incident was perfectly resolved.


    The Italian media began to ridicule Britain.


    Although the Turin police are suspected of blindly enforcing the law, the evidence for the detention of Millwall fans comes from the British police.


    Their blacklist information database is provided by the British police.


    This is really a slap in the face!


    In fact, Aldridge did not aim at the Turin police station or Italy from beginning to end, he would not represent England to stir up the wind and rain here.


    He wants to buy up people''s hearts.


    Whose heart is buying?


    Millwall fans are primary, and all-UK fans are secondary.


    The root cause of the incident was the overkill of the British police against football hooligans in a long period of time in the past. This not only caused Millwall fans to suffer indiscriminate disaster today, but also made many other club fans complain. Such incidents are not accidental or independent. It has happened to Manchester United, Arsenal, Newcastle United, Liverpool, etc., including even neutral fans.


    Even though many club fan organizations write to the FA, the FA ignores it.


    The reason is very simple. If the FA wants to solve this problem, they will have to deal with the British police. They are not willing to go outside the circle, especially the political forces, and it is best to maintain a safe and sound state.


    Therefore, even the FA has secretly supported the club''s "away package", which can indeed reduce the incidence of fan trouble.


    Millwall fans who stayed in Italy flew back to London with Aldridge generously chartered the following day.


    They returned to England as heroes. Aldridge not only led the team to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, but also took the lead in protesting against the unfair things that happened to the fans, which made his image in the hearts of the British people a little taller.


    After returning to London, the BBC interviewed him for the first time. Aldrich declared that he would negotiate with the British police and asked the other party to explain: Why am I listed as a football hooligan?


    Football Association President Wiseman contacted Aldridge privately and revealed a meaning: don''t let the fans make trouble, just do it yourself, the FA supports you mentally!


    Yes, the FA wants to use Aldridge as a gun this time. It is impossible for the FA to come forward and deal with the British police. However, as a public figure, Aldridge suffered unfair treatment because of the work of the British police. He already had enough reasons to ask the British police for a statement.


    Aldrich came true.


    He thinks that he was judged as a football hooligan is a big stain, and if the solution is not good, he will be nailed to the post of shame.


    Andrew prepared a lawyers team for him. Aldrich publicly stated that if the British police could not give a reasonable explanation, he would resort to legal means to solve this problem, to recover his reputation loss, and he would also help Millwall fans Come and wash the shame together.


    If the British court does not accept it, Aldridge will sue the EU!


    The incident continued to heat up, but Aldridge''s life was normal.


    The British police finally gave an answer: the predecessor made a mistake.


    Aldridge was blacklisted before 1994, probably when he was around 17 years old.


    When investigating what happened at the time, it was supposed that Aldridge watched a FA Cup game at the Lion''s Cave Stadium. At that time, Millwall was still the top team of football hooligans, so it was closely monitored by the police.


    As for whether Aldridge was involved in some minor riots in the stands or clashes with opponent fans on the streets before and after the game, the police have also failed to explain. .


    This "suspect" is the key.


    Perhaps the person sitting behind Aldridge was a football hooligan, and he was also judged to be a football hooligan.


    This is the British police''s strategy of "preferably killing three thousand mistakes rather than letting go".


    Many other fans may be judged to be football hooligans just because they appeared on the same occasion as football hooligans. The police have no time to investigate whether they know each other, whether they have spoken, and whether they have really participated in football hooligans.


    In view of Aldrich¡¯s public influence, especially his good image of public charity in recent years, the British police had to "confess" his name from the blacklist.


    In this way, with the precedent of Aldridge, the British football has set off a "flip craze". Those innocent fans have to wash their grievances one after another. !


    Perhaps only Chelsea, Crystal Palace, West Ham United, the enduring enemies with Millwall, will be dismissive of Aldridge. Other competitors such as Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool and other rival fans mostly deal with Aldridge from the heart. With respect.


    The fans of other clubs are envious, they also hope that the coach of their own team is the second Aldridge, and he can stand firm and loyal to the fans as he is, neither a slave of money nor Will ignore the plight of fans.


    Millwall players respected Aldridge, and Southgate joked on the training ground: "Boss, can you cut your brain and see what is inside?"


    Aldridge heard it suddenly and felt that the opponent was scolding his brain for water, but the players looked at him with admiration and smiled.


    After being a public figure for a few years, wasn''t it a good idea to make a show?


    Thanks to the cooperation of the Turin police, he was also arrested in the detention cell, otherwise, even if he asked for an explanation, he was only a spectator role, and most people would think he was fine.


    But it''s about his own reputation. Aldrich gathers people''s hearts on the basis of the show, why not?


    In April, Millwall played in the third line. The FA Cup was first planted and fell to the quarterfinals. The substitute team''s ability to play hard battles is still limited and tight. Especially if there is no main force to press the line, once the offensive can''t open the situation If his mentality becomes impatient, he will give his opponent an opportunity. In this respect, even Ronaldinho is no exception. After all, he hasn''t experienced many professional games. The mentality training is a hurry.


    The performance in the league is also very good. The gap with Manchester United has not been widened, but it has narrowed by one point. However, the situation in the league has become very stale. , God can¡¯t stop it, Millwall is still third, but Arsenal and Manchester United are only one point away, especially in a focus battle between the Champions League quarter-finals, Arsenal defeated by one goal away Manchester United, which not only directly narrowed the points gap, but also caused Manchester United to be hit hard mentally.


    With five rounds left in the league, all three teams are likely to win.


    Aldridge is normal for the league. The main game is held once a week. If the Champions League match is in the middle of the week, the main players will definitely be rejuvenated. The previous weekend''s league will let the bench players charge.


    The opponent in the Champions League semi-finals is Monaco from Ligue 1.


    Coincidentally, the two teams met before the preseason warm-up match. The scene was full of Mars. Millwall and Monaco dedicated a goal fight at home, 4:4 between the flowers.


    Aldridge feels that God''s will is fooling.


    Last year''s European Cup Winners Cup semi-finals, he faced Fernandez, this year''s Champions League semi-finals, he met Tigana again.


    Not only are they French teams, but they are all coaches who have a good relationship with him.


    The day before the semifinals started, Audridge participated in the UEFA official press conference at the club.


    Millwall still played at home before playing away.


    "I don¡¯t think there¡¯s any difference between the lead and the guest and the lead and then the lead. If Millwall first considers the advantage of scoring away goals to eliminate opponents, focusing on this point, then we can never step in In the final, because this is a mentally weak performance, although Manchester United was eliminated by Monaco as a guest goal advantage, this is not a decisive factor. The deeper meaning is: Monaco performs better, although they draw at home 0:0 It¡¯s Manchester United, but we eliminated our opponents 1:1 away. This is not a digital game, it¡¯s a team play. Maybe some people think it¡¯s a factor of luck, but without strength, good luck won¡¯t come to you for nothing.¡±


    In the end, which is more advantageous, first guest first and second guest first?


    Aldrich is not interested in thinking about this issue, anyway, the reality is: he must emphasize that the first host and the second guest will not affect the team!


    Otherwise, isn''t this increasing psychological pressure on players?


    What''s more, they eliminated Juventus from the lead and then they should not take this kind of schedule seriously and concentrate on playing well instead of letting other factors affect their mentality.


    Fleet Street analysis believes that Millwall has little suspense to enter the final, and the strength of Monaco and Millwall simply cannot be compared.


    Monaco is the leader in the Ligue 1 this season. Lyon, Paris Saint-Germain, Bordeaux, Marseille and other traditional strong teams are behind them. Unfortunately, Monaco is still only ranked third in the league and is far from the top two. Unless the Champions League wins the championship, next season the traditional Ligue 1 giants will miss the Champions League, and the two teams in the Ligue 1 championship are eye-popping: Lance and Metz.


    Although Monaco''s situation is similar to that of Millwall, its performance in the Champions League is not the same.


    Aldridge said low-key that the matchup was a fierce fight between two teams of equal strength, and no one had a clear advantage.


    His words were indeed hypocritical.


    He is very confident of entering the finals, and the players are also confident.


    Playing Monaco, he will play the style of Millwall, there are not as many tactical restrictions as against Juventus.


    There was a light rain in London on the night of the game. The rain was not heavy, but it would definitely have a certain impact on the game.


    While the players were preparing for the player aisle, Aldridge and Tigana stood on the sidelines and talked happily.


    "Fernandez texted me and let me kill you."


    Tigana''s words made Aldrich laugh, saying, "He really has a grudge, yes, where has he been recently?"


    "He was invited by some Spanish clubs and is considering."


    "Spain, um, at least there is a similarity to the style of Ligue 1, the Latin style, is that guy in your team still able to survive?"


    "You''re so annoying! It''s estimated that I can''t keep it at this time. Why, are you interested? Now I might consider selling him to you in the summer, but after the World Cup ends."


    "Will he come to the bench?"


    "It is unlikely to be willing."


    Aldridge frowned for a long time.


    Henry, Henry, after the World Cup, it is estimated that there is no less than 10 million pounds that cannot be won, and after being taken down, the main position must be given. Even if Shevchenko leaves, Ronaldinho will take the top position.


    If you buy him, would it take another season to practice him?


    And he started off the bench.


    Aldrich said to Tigana before the game: "Keep in touch and give me a message before selling him. I haven''t made up my mind that money should not be a problem."


    Indeed, money will not be a problem. If Shevchenko leaves in the summer, it will bring a lot of transfer income.

 Chapter 311： Who is more advantageous?

    In the first round of this semi-final with Monaco, Aldridge¡¯s tactical arrangement was relatively straightforward, and he played a strong offensive. Monaco¡¯s defense is definitely not at the level of Juventus. Millwall is at his disposal, as long as he can get two goals at home or With the above advantages and zero opponents, the promotion to the final is bright.


    In fact, Aldridge still has a little selfishness in his heart. There is still a chase on the side of the league. There is not much difference between Manchester United and Arsenal. If there is one of the two games in the Champions League semi-finals that will let him breathe, then take a look at the league. Maybe it will be a last-minute reversal!


    His thinking is similar to the two rounds of the European Super Cup in Dortmund.


    In Monaco¡¯s away game, since it was a steady counterattack, Millwall wanted to launch a blitz, and exerted full pressure from the opening to try to crush his opponent in the shortest time.


    But perhaps Juventus was eliminated to build a huge confidence advantage and stunned the senses. The players'' unprecedented attacks became unscrupulous. Aldridge discovered this sign at the beginning of the game. He didn¡¯t have time to let the players lower the rhythm slightly. To maintain the rationality of the formation, Monaco gave Millwall a heavy blow!


    Schneider assisted up with Shevchenko for a quick pass and cut. After the bottom pass, the ball was blocked by the opposing defender, and then Monaco turned from the defense to a big foot long pass on the frontcourt side.


    It happened to be Schneider assisting the space behind him. There was a sharp knife on the side of Monaco. The ball control technique was very skillful to remove the ball and then go inward.


    The crazy lion fans in the Wembley stands were dumbfounded.


    Why is the opponent''s winger so fast? why!


    After cutting in from the side, riding a perfect dust, not only throwing away the distance of Makelele from the waistline, but also passing the ball directly over Elgra, Southgate saw that the other side would break through the entire back line. So the tackle from the side, the opponent fell heavily in front of the penalty area, the ball rolled out of the baseline.


    Referee Nelson halted the game and walked without hesitation towards Southgate who was trying to pull down the Monaco player. On the ground was the talented young man: Henry!


    Southgate just turned around and Nielsen''s red card was already on top of his head.


    "In the first 2 minutes, Millwall captain Southgate got a red card! The penalty is strictly uncontroversial. If it weren''t Southgate''s shovel that caught Henry''s leg, the French winger would definitely go to the meeting alone! With a shocked expression on his face, he constantly explained to the referee that Millwall¡¯s players were also pleading with the referee, but the referee¡¯s penalty would certainly not change. Hall exchanged two sentences with the fourth official on the sidelines and went to the bench. Xi, he called up two players to warm up, it seems that he is about to change, this is an accidental accident, no one can guess the start, the top of the finals, Millwall, the nominal home, At the beginning of the game, one less player will be played. The situation is completely reversed, and all pre-match predictions will be overturned!"


    Damn it!


    Monaco''s counterattack made people speechless. After the successful defense, the ball did not fly very high. Because it was not high, the speed was guaranteed. The ball fell just in front of Henry. After he started to accelerate, he took advantage of the trend. After winning the ball, he didn¡¯t even give Makelele a chance to sweep horizontally. Elgra passed by Henry who was rushed. There was nothing to say. The speed winger really rushed. Not many defenders could block it from the front, but Henry was also too fast, causing Southgate to slow down even if he consciously dragged behind and waited for the opponent to pass Elgra and then intercepted. He could only put a shovel and wait for the opponent to enter the penalty area, that is a single-handed ball.


    Wembley fell into a silence, Southgate was more inked before the end. He was warming up for the bench players to fight for more time. Larson was still communicating with the referee of the Nordic fellow, also to delay the time. Gate walked in front of Nedved, took off the captain''s armband and put it on the opponent, and then bowed his head and slowly walked off the field.


    Aldridge paid attention to the situation on the sidelines. When Southgate passed him, Aldridge raised his hand and patted lightly on his back, saying nothing.


    Man, don''t be too greedy or too proud.


    Eliminating the powerful Juventus did indeed give Audridge a sense of pride, and at the same time, he also started the dream of going forward in the Champions League.


    There is no such good thing in the world!


    Reality poured cold water on him mercilessly.


    But then again, the opening team gave a red card to the home team, the referee was really selfless.


    Football is a closed circle, and there are many open fights in it, and the referee is also a territory where the forces compete.


    Aldridge believes that if the referee who played against Juventus in the first round and today''s Nelson change.


    Then the penalty of these two games is likely to be all in favor of Millwall.


    Torricelli''s foul on Nedved will be shown a red card by Nielsen, and Southgate will knock down Henry, perhaps only a yellow card.


    Of course, the referee has his own subjective will for each sentence, and the sentence is discretionary.


    Nielsen enforced his law strictly, and no one could tell him anything.


    Behind them is the UEFA President Johansson who is backing up. Nordic football is not strong, but there is a duty chairman. At least in the field of referees, the Nordic factions are extremely strong. Nelson and Frisco are representative. People and word of mouth are also good.


    Millwall started with one less man, and Aldridge let Materazzi and Gattuso warm up.


    He cannot simply fill the gap in the back line, but to change the tactical arrangement and goal pursuit of the game.


    Do you want to attack a little less?


    Defensive counterattack to fight character.


    The first priority is to ensure that the opponent does not have an away goal.


    After waiting for a free kick outside Monaco''s penalty area, Millwall made a substitution.


    "Hall replaced two players in one go. Is this necessary? Under normal circumstances, a guard is sent off, and the head coach will remove an offensive player and replace with a defender, but he does. Two forwards, a defender and a defensive midfielder. It seems that he has no hope of winning at home, but it also makes sense that Manchester United did not win Monaco at home and was also made a guest by the opponent. To score a goal, Hall must first ensure that the team does not lose the ball. Trezeguet and Shevchenko walked to the side of the court together. Their expressions were a bit depressed. In such a high-profile Champions League semi-final, they only They were replaced in less than 3 minutes. Although they were passive substitutions, they should understand Hall¡¯s decision, but they felt uncomfortable in their hearts. The replacements were Materazzi and Gattuso. Millwall watched It''s coming to play a 4311 formation."


    It is normal for Trezeguet and Shevchenko to be unhappy. Instead, Aldridge was ready to go and was replaced within two minutes of playing. Of course, he was depressed and unhappy.


    But unhappy, unhappy, Aldridge has no time to comfort them, they are professional players, they should have professional qualities.


    At this time, you should adjust your mentality yourself. If it is tantrum or awkward, it is unprofessional performance.


    Fortunately, the professional qualities of the two are no problem. After sitting down, they just looked at the stadium with frustration, without any extra words and deeds.


    Aldridge played for ten minutes on the sidelines. After the two substitute players were fully in the state, he walked back to sit down.


    After Southgate was sent off, if Aldridge changed to a defender, it was only to make up for the defense gap, but he also replaced a defensive midfielder, which is to change the team''s attitude.


    Mainly defensive.


    It is also a means to lure the enemy.


    Makelele and Gattuso have double backs. Pirlo moves up and down. Nedved is behind Larson. Both of them have a large range of activities. Now it is up to Monaco to give them no chance to fight back.


    Aldridge couldn''t help but looked at the visiting coach''s seat, and Tigana sat there without any signs of directing on the sidelines.


    Aldridge sighed, it seems that the other party is really unwavering.


    Anti-guest-based, anti-guest-based, Monaco, you come up against anti-guest-based!


    If there is one less team, the gorgeous offensive will definitely not be able to be played. This kind of strong contest, one less, is equivalent to a master''s broken arm. Millwall can only respond to the opponent''s rhythm under limited conditions.


    In particular, there will be one less person in the opening. If you play unrestrainedly, the difference in physical fitness between the two sides will become larger and larger.


    Millwall can only send his home to get rich and run off well.


    The Fleet Street reporters who watched the ball all wanted to scold the street!


    Malegobi, Millwall is now happy to play!


    Really cheap.


    In the Chelsea League Cup finals, the smoke bomb made Fleet Street a joke. The predictions came and went, even the most basic situation was not clear.


    When playing Juventus, the outside world was not optimistic about the crazy lion, but the crazy lion played ups and downs and achieved an epic victory.


    Now it¡¯s good, everyone is optimistic that the mad lion can enter the finals, and your **** diarrhea at home!


    The most hateful thing is that Millwall really counseled when there was one less fight!


    You are fighting hemorrhagic with Monaco, kill!


    Singing gradually started in the Wembley stands, and now the game has entered the "garbage viewing" stage. The fans of the crazy lions entertain themselves and start singing to inspire the team.


    Even if the mad lion¡¯s offense is not threatening at all, the overall formation shrinks in the midfield and backcourt, the offense relies on Larson, Nedved, Pirlo, and they often fall into the trap and declare the end of the offense. The same is true in Monaco. Millwall actively contracted. They attacked with patience when they attacked. Without a good chance, they did not pass the ball forward. Their investment in attacking force was very limited.


    Since Monaco kicked a free kick outside the penalty area after the opening, the two teams had only a total of three shots before the end of the first half, and the two feet came from the positioning ball...


    In the second half, the mad lion¡¯s tactics remained unchanged, and he still played a defensive counterattack, but Aldridge reminded the players that once the formation of Monaco began to press forward and the strength of the attack increased, then there must be a sense of counterattack.


    However, Tigana was determined to die with Aldridge. Even in the last ten minutes of the game, Monaco was still not under pressure. If they played one more person, they could not see the offensive advantage. The advantage in defense was obvious. It was very easy to resolve Millwall''s offense.


    The first round of a drowsy semi-final ended in Wembley.


    0:0!


    Both parties exchanged nothing.


    Aldrich exchanged two sentences with Tigana, then walked to be interviewed.


    Today he suffered a lot of public opinion pressure and failed to win the game in London, which made experts from all walks of life stunned and the voice for Millwall to advance to the final was also much lower.


    This is a more conventional view. Can''t you win opponents at home, do you want to go away and make waves?


    Aldridge responded patiently to some extreme questions. He looked depressed and disappointed.


    But when he left the press conference and went back to the locker room, he said with excitement to the listless players.


    "Hey, be happy, give me happiness, what''s wrong with 0:0? Everyone says there is an advantage before the guest, why don''t I think? Monaco didn''t score a goal on the road, when we went to visit their home, Have you ever thought that if we score one goal, they will score two of us, and if we score two, they will score three! Whose situation is more favorable?"


    It sounds like this reason, as long as Millwall scores in the second round, the opponent must score one more than they can advance.


    In fact, there are some strong words.


    However, the players felt comfortable and were in a good mood. They regained their strength and waited for the second round to get the final ticket in France.

 Chapter 312： Reversal

    Before the second round of the UEFA Champions League semi-final, the Premier League had a sudden change, occupying the second place in the Manchester United rankings for more than half a year!


    Gutter overturned!


    Manchester United did not expand their lead in the league after the Champions League was eliminated by Monaco. Instead, they drew Newcastle United in Old Trafford, which is still in danger of relegation. In the same round, Arsenal swept the same city Derby opponents 5:0 at Highbury in the same round. Bourdon, overtaking Manchester United with 1 point to top the list.


    With the final three rounds remaining in the Premier League, the championship situation has changed dramatically. Not only has Manchester United lost its initiative, but it may not even be able to keep the runner-up!


    In the last three rounds, Manchester United¡¯s opponents, in addition to Leeds United and Crystal Palace, also had a final round at the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium to challenge Millwall. The difference between the two teams¡¯ goal difference is only two. Manchester United leads, but in points, Manchester United leads Mill. Wall scored 3 points.


    Arsenal''s opponents in the last three rounds were Barnsley, Everton and Aston Villa.


    Millwall was 4 points behind the leader and 3 points behind second place Manchester United. With only three rounds remaining, Audridge declared straight: the defending failed!


    Fleet Street found that today''s situation is very similar to the final championship situation of the previous season, except that at the time the top three were Newcastle United, Manchester United, Millwall, and now Arsenal have replaced Newcastle United, and Newcastle United In the same way, with three rounds remaining, still leading the standings, the only difference is that Arsenal no longer have to compete with direct competitors, but instead Manchester United and Millwall will have a confrontation. Obviously, the probability of Arsenal winning the championship Far more than Newcastle United two years ago.


    From August to April, Millwall was completely relieved in the league. Although the failure to defend the title was a blow, they have been chasers since September. The psychological blow is definitely not as strong as Manchester United. Furthermore, they are determined It¡¯s no longer a secret in the Champions League, no matter how hard Audric used to be, their attitude is to attack the Champions League, the league can always maintain the pressure on the leader, Fleet Street said that this is still a very successful Millwall This season, at least the trophy has been harvested.


    In the second round of the Champions League semi-final, the life and death battle is imminent. Millwall''s team has no psychological understanding of the situation in the Premier League. They all set their feet on the journey to Monaco.


    Luis II Stadium, Monaco.


    Aldridge led his team here today, showing a very low profile attitude before the game, even slightly pessimistic.


    He emphasized that Monaco has the advantage of home court. Millwall did not win the first round. With Southgate suspended, they have lost the opportunity to advance to the final.


    This time, Aldridge did not talk to Tigana before the game. As the host here, the other party came over to shake hands with Aldridge before the game, and then patted each other''s arms to separate. The two of them were actually not calm.


    As a new generation of young coaches, no matter who gets the ticket to the Champions League final after this game, it will be the peak moment of his personal coaching career, which will undoubtedly bring personal fame and achievements to European football and world football. the height of!


    "In the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, the game of Monaco against Millwall is about to start. Before this season, not many people will guess that one of the two teams will enter the Champions League final. Monaco will continue to be the last coach. Wenger has led the team in the Ligue 1 championship and has not played in the Champions League for nearly a decade, but the new coach Tigana won the Ligue 1 championship last season. This season he stepped on the Monaco Champions League for many years, from the group stage to the knockout In the first round, they made a 0-0 draw with Millwall, and now at their home court, the situation in the finals is very beneficial to them. Millwall is led by young coach Odridge. Headed by Hall, the club played in the Champions League for the first time in more than 100 years. He also achieved a brilliant record. The group victory was a shock to Europe. The double play Barcelona was two classic games. The quarter-finals relied on tenacious will at the last moment. Eliminated Juventus, the winner of the championship. Although they are not optimistic at the moment, they must not be underestimated. In Turin, they created a miracle. In Monaco, what will they bring? We will wait and see!"


    Southgate, who was suspended for a penalty, took his family to the away to sit in the stands to watch the game. His suspension is only one game. If the team advances to the final, he will definitely be able to play as long as he has no injuries.


    Today Millwall''s starting lineup is 4231, and there are two changes in personnel.


    Materazzi replaces Southgate as starting center guard partner Elgra. In the past two leagues, Odri? has specifically made Elgra and Materazzi partner in the league, and consciously put opponents to attack to test the two. The tacit understanding of the people is not bad. Matrazzi has been on the team for four years and has been steadily improving. Moreover, his brave and tenacious style of play is also very suitable for the characteristics of the Premier League. His technical ability has reached the final stage. This season The performance of more than 25 appearances in the league plus cup has won unanimous praise.


    Another personnel change is that Shevchenko sits on the bench and is replaced by the Danish Golden Wing, Glenshare.


    Today Millwall wants to play more conservatively, but needs some personal abilities when attacking on the wing, especially the speed characteristics. Larsen and Glennshire two Nordic wingers are the most crucial point in the team''s counterattack.


    The game started quickly, Monaco took advantage of the home game first to control the rhythm of the game, playing slowly and slowly, first try to test the status of the opponent.


    Millwall is not so polite. Once the defense is successful, he will quickly pass forward. Although the number of offenses is not large, the attack threat from the side is very intuitive.


    The dribbling line after Glenshare and Larson took the ball today is very clear: inward, inward, crazy inward!


    Glenn Charlburn is the best player in the team. He has ranked first in the Premier League in the number of appearances in a limited number of appearances, giving Larsen room to start. He also has a very fast dribbling speed, but only Due to his role, he didn''t often pass by, but instead ran out of the opponent''s penalty area and directly threatened his opponent with a shot.


    The two were deliberately told by Aldrich before the game today to take the ball and go inside. It''s good to pass, as long as they pass a defensive player of the other side, and don''t continually pass, as long as they pass a person, their minds must start soberly. Observe that when the opponent has a second player to intercept, the defense must be available, then we must seek cooperation with teammates.


    In the static defense, Nedved was guarded by two opposing midfielders, and Trezeguet was also caught by the opposing double central defender, but in a dynamically running game, as long as the side gap was opened, the inward line was taken. The opponent must pay attention to the players who have the ball, especially Larson. If he takes the ball in front of the penalty area and no one goes up to block it, he will penetrate his own door if he misses the long shot.


    The Monaco fans are more optimistic. At the beginning of the season, they played a friendly match. Monaco played a 4:4 away game against each other. The first round ended half a month ago. Monaco also took away the draw from the away, today at home There is great hope for winning the game.


    But they are wrong.


    The friendly match was negligible. After the last Millwall kicked in, the opponent counter-attacked a fatal counterattack and led to Southgate''s red card. With an early loss of one player, Millwall naturally seemed to have no threat.


    But in this game, Monaco wants to win, and solve the battle within 90 minutes. In addition to playing at home, the posture is definitely more positive than playing the last round. On the contrary, Millwall built a fence wall. Relying on a small number of troops in the attack to attack the opponent''s defense line in the frontcourt in a targeted manner. Between this opening and closing, Millwall''s characteristics and power are far stronger than the previous game.


    Monaco wanted to rip off Millwall¡¯s defense in a positional battle. They found that Millwall was a piece of iron. Even Henry, who made the Southgate red card in the last game, was unable to play in the wing position without sprinting space. Directly threatening the opponent''s door, in a sense, he is not the Henry of the Highbury King, not only in terms of technical experience, but also in the sense of playing!


    The two teams have come and gone. Twenty minutes of game time have passed, and no one has got a great opportunity, but the situation has changed little by little.


    Aldridge watched the game with his chin on his side and his hands in his pockets. Monaco''s defensive formation has fallen into a passive rhythm. After being hit by Glencharr and Larson''s inward route, their two full-backs began to gradually Approaching the center, the intention is to compress the forward space after the two wingers cut inwards, and at the same time, in order to prepare for the replacement when the teammates are blocked.


    In the 28th minute of the game, Makelele broke the ball and handed it to Pirlo. Pirlo passed the ball to Glenchard. The latter''s incessant breakthrough made Monaco the first time when he turned from attack to defensive Someone was watching him personally, but this time Glenchard wisely kept the ball, directly knocked the ball back to Pirlo, and then ran forward.


    Pirlo faced the ball back and also kicked the ball, turning the ball to the left, Larson led the ball forward, and at the same time behind him, a teammate was flying forward at high speed, Larson wiped out the other''s defense After the midfield, the ball was passed to Nedved who ran out of midfield.


    Monaco contracted the defense in the middle, Nedvide controlled the ball and observed the situation, then picked a pass to the left side of the bottom line area. The assisted Capdevila surpassed the opponent''s entire backline position unexpectedly. This time Monaco The entire back line was shocked.


    Capdevila controlled the ball without rushing, waiting for Monaco''s entire defense to move backwards, and then knocked the ball back to the front of the penalty area before someone forced him.


    Pirlo appeared in that position, the position that chilled the Juventus fans'' spine. It was in this position that Pirlo killed Juventus!


    Monaco also realized that Pirlo should not be allowed to get up here, absolutely!


    The line of defense was pressed out again for a while. Between this close and release, their mark had a loophole. Pirlo calmly did not lift his foot, but instead passed the ball from the Monaco defenders.


    Trezeguet ran horizontally on the left side of the small penalty area line, facing the wonderful assists from Pirlo, he kept pushing the ball without stopping the ball.


    Monaco goalkeeper Bartz struggled to save, but the reaction was still a bit slow, the ball rubbed the goal post and rolled into the goal!


    "Trezeguet! Millwall opened the first record away, Millwall team scored a goal through pleasing cooperation, the whole process is endless, Pirlo''s last calm pass can be called the master''s hand, everyone He thought he would have a long shot, but he passed the ball, and it was passed when his teammates were not offside. Trezeguet¡¯s shot also reflected the killer character. He did not hesitate and pushed with the inside of his foot. The speed of the ball is not particularly fast, but the angle is very tricky, rubbing the post and rolling into the goal of Monaco! Millwall leads 1:0 away, Monaco is in danger, they must now score two goals in the remaining time to advance, when After this goal appeared, this game announced that there could be no overtime."

 Chapter 313： Poorly estimated strength

    After Trezeguet''s goal occurred, he ran to the corner of the corner flag and roared to celebrate, teammates swarmed, everyone knows that this goal has fundamentally reversed the situation, originally Millwall was slightly at a disadvantage , The score is a draw, everyone is on the same starting line, but Millwall played away, naturally at a disadvantage.


    But after this goal, Monaco was directly forced into a desperate situation. Even if they scored an equalizer at home, that is not enough. On the basis of Millwall¡¯s next goal, they still have Score a goal!


    Seeing this goal, Aldridge pulled his right hand out of his pocket and punched heavily in front of him. His eyes were very firm and firm. Other coaches and players were cheering for this goal. They took a solid step towards Amsterdam. !


    In the process of preparing for the game before the game, Audric resolutely withdrew Shevchenko and turned to Glenchard to start. Many coaches did not understand it and thought it was too risky. In the coach evaluation, Intuitively, it is undoubtedly that Glencharr''s scoring ability is not as good as Shevchenko.


    And even if you want to have outstanding personal abilities, the coaching staff tends to let Ronaldinho play, but Aldridge still uses Glennhill firmly.


    When he wants to use a player, the purpose may not be particularly direct. He needs a player to serve the team tactics, rather than expecting a player to directly rule the battle after playing.


    Ronaldinho''s comprehensive assessment of his personal abilities has surpassed Glenchard, but his invisible ability is still far behind Glenchard, that is: teamwork and tacit understanding!


    To produce a team chemistry reaction and make the 11 players'' personal abilities superimposed beyond the expected strength, team tacit understanding is especially critical.


    Like Millwall¡¯s attacking coordination and solid defense in the past two seasons, these players have polished them out through two or three years of playing together, especially the continuous offense. It takes a long time to play football together to reach the realm of "heart and soul".


    Glenn Carr did not disappoint Aldridge. Not only did he force the Monaco defense to shrink through his personal ability, so that the other side valued his presence, the defense was to distract him, but also to pass the ball decisively when it was time to pass. He has performed better than the classic winger in history, and he deserves today''s starter!


    Aldrich made a depression gesture to the players on the court after the celebration. Even if the goal was celebrated, he did not show a smile. He just wanted to tell the players: Now, it is not the time to laugh!


    Nedved''s position retraced deeper. When he counterattacked, he quickly plugged in to cooperate with his teammates to strengthen the defense.


    This time Millwall was more determined to fight back defensively, and in rhythm control, they were also more calm.


    Now, we can play slowly!


    Tigana was grim after being scored, and he discovered at this time: Perhaps, overestimating the strength gap between Monaco and Millwall.


    Before playing in the semi-finals, he did not think that Monaco and Millwall were at the same level. Millwall was stronger. There is no doubt that after changing Monaco¡¯s group in Millwall, they certainly could not get a winning record. Going to Juventus, maybe go home.


    However, the outside world does not think so.


    The Monaco players did not think so.


    Millwall is a young team. It is a strong team of young talents. Monaco does not allow much, and there are many young talents that are appreciated and paid attention to by the outside world.


    Moreover, when they played against Manchester United, Manchester United''s traditional strong teams were more impressed, and they suppressed Millwall in the league. They eliminated Manchester United. Are they afraid of Millwall?


    Playing more conservatively on the road, getting the desired draw, and returning to the home, it is natural to pull off the situation and cut off the opponent.


    Tijana held his forehead in contemplation. If from the beginning, Monaco played an absolute defensive counterattack tactic, even at home, it would be more conservative. Perhaps, the probability of promotion will be higher, but it is the wrong estimation of the strength of the two teams. When Millwall was on this stage that needed more caution and care, Monaco was forced to the edge of the cliff in an older way.


    Millwall drew on the last game that was overbearing at the beginning of the home game, was a low-key guest, and was very tactically targeted. The two wingers cut in the middle and the wing was empty. At the beginning, Monaco The full-backs are still afraid, but Millwall''s full-backs did not boldly assist.


    However, Millwall''s tactical design must be premeditated.


    Defensive counterattack, attacking 4 people.


    Defensive counterattack, attacking 4 people.


    Defensive counterattack, attack 4 people...


    In the first twenty minutes or so, Millwall was at this rhythm, but Millwall suddenly worked hard!


    In the counter-attack against the goal, Millwall added a midfielder and full-back to the dangerous zone, and it was Capdevila¡¯s underside that attracted the Monaco defense to retreat quickly, and then Pirlo pressed to Near the line of the big penalty area, the Monaco defense line had to be premised again and again. In this short period of time, there was a fatal loophole in the defense line adjustment. Pirlo, the master passer, easily assisted Trezeguet to break the goal.


    Tigana turned his head and looked at Aldridge. Although he was younger than himself, he was amazed: the Aldridge who watched the European Cup together two years ago. Most of the French coaches who have been in the past are still predecessors who watch the rising star. Mentality, but now, Aldridge is more sophisticated than many famous coaches!


    Now that Monaco is in a desperate situation, Tigana has only one choice left: aggressive attack, aggressive grab!


    The reason for making the players crazy is to prevent Millwall from controlling the rhythm of the game, and the crazy attack is to score goals.


    With one hour left in the game, Monaco is going to score two goals. There is really no room for it.


    In terms of personal ability, Millwall is not weaker than its opponents on every front. In such a situation, even if Monaco started to rush, they still have the initiative.


    Millwall would not use boring feet to kill time, but increased the number of lateral passes, so that Monaco must have a center of gravity tilt no matter how it is grabbed, no matter how fast the person is, it can''t run the ball.


    Whenever Monaco struggled to enter a short period of physical energy consumption and needed a breather, Millwall launched another wave of offensive, which was more threatening than before!


    But Monaco changed from defending to attacking after the defense was successful, but because of the fight, he could not start the first burst of rush forward at the highest speed. He could not fight back and could only fight in positional battle.


    The first half ended quickly and Millwall returned to the locker room with a one-ball lead.


    In the intermission, Aldridge mainly arranged the defensive task of the second half, with 45 minutes left, they will get the final ticket, even if they stay for 45 minutes, it is not bad.


    Tigana obviously adjusted the team''s tactics during the intermission, and also mobilized the morale of the team.


    In the second half, Monaco no longer pursues quickness in position battles, but strives to stabilize the rhythm and organize infiltration offensives through patiently falling feet.


    However, Millwall''s defense was strengthened, and Nedved almost turned into a midfielder, allowing Pirlo to move forward. He and Makelele defended on both midfielders. The defense turned to attack Pirlo and organized forward.


    Monaco could not penetrate the offensive attack, and began to frequently try to threaten the opponent with a long shot, but also hoped to lure Millwall''s defense line out.


    This is foreseen. Millwall is not afraid of the opponent''s long-range shot, and his mentality is more calm. If the opponent can really reverse the two world waves, it is really that the goddess of luck becomes the opponent''s crotch minister.


    When the game came to the 65th minute, Tigana was about to fight.


    He replaced a forward and removed a defender. The offense became simple, rough and direct!


    In this way, the opponent''s backcourt was empty, Millwall saw a move, Aldridge replaced Pirlo with Barak, played a three-back strategy, and attacked by two flank attacks.


    Between this attack and the defensive, Monaco''s attack began to threaten. Before the threat area, they used their patience to organize the attack to move forward. Within 30 yards in front of the goal, either long-range shots depended on luck. Great opportunities for scoring when attacking. For example, if Bute saves the shot, the striker can make up the shot, or like Juventus when he played Millwall in the first round, who hit the long-range ball on the path of refraction, This is by luck.


    Either Monaco just split the ball to the side and made a 45-degree high pass, but today the pass clearly cannot threaten Millwall¡¯s goal, and Materazzi¡¯s air defense is absolutely okay.


    Millwall''s counterattacks are rising, and the threat is also growing. The opponent''s formation begins to push forward, and the midfield and backcourt are out of touch, giving Millwall an opportunity to break one by one.


    Glenn Charles counterattacked the ball on the right and saw that the striker could get a good chance if he was out in place, but Trezeguet was carried by the central defender and failed to grab the spot.


    Seeing the crux, Aldrich replaced Trezege with Shevchenko. Shevchenkobit Rezege was faster in speed!


    This substitution had an immediate effect. Shevchenko had just come on the field, Glennshire took the ball on the right, and the opponent came up and forced him from behind. This time, he did not choose to be superior, but gave the foot straight The ball was inserted and Shevchenko inserted into the right rib. After taking the ball, he rushed forward. He took the ball towards the penalty area. The Monaco defender retreated desperately. When the ball entered the penalty area, Shevchenko''s position was in the big On the right side of the penalty area, he didn''t greet forcible shots, but crossed the ball to the middle, and Larsson rushed from the left to rush in the counterattack.


    Bartz abandoned the goal and Larsson scored the goal. Bartz was deceived. Larsson made a false shot. He slanted the ball to the side and shook the goalkeeper behind the empty goal. He easily broke the goal!


    "Larsen killed the game! He calmly shook the goalkeeper and pushed the empty goal. Millwall led Monaco 2-0 away, and in less than 10 minutes, unless Monaco scored three goals in a row, otherwise They will be blocked from the final!"


    Larson pointed to Shevchenko with a smile after scoring a goal, and the two came in a hug, and then walked to the visiting team''s fans stand together, each waving one arm.


    Fans of the mad lion were thrilled in the stands, waving their arms to Larson with their faces flushed, one by one as if they were playing hormones.


    Aldrich turned and hugged Jenson.


    2: 0!


    2: 0! !


    We definitely want to go to Amsterdam and definitely set foot on the highest stage of the Intercontinental Club competition!


    This goal completely made Monaco lose its fighting spirit, scoring three consecutive goals in less than ten minutes. It is not impossible, but the hope is very slim. In particular, if they continue to play like this, they may not be able to block Millwall¡¯s next goal. Wave counterattack.


    Millwall closed, and two minutes later, Aldridge replaced Larson with Gattuso, strengthening the defense more thoroughly.


    In the final time of the game, Monaco''s offensive was weakened by a few points. After not receiving results, Millwall consumed the final time.

 Chapter 314： Friends who love smelly

    "The second round of the UEFA Champions League semi-final against Monaco against Millwall ended. Monaco lost to Millwall at 0:2 at Louis II Stadium. Unfortunately, they lost the opportunity to enter the final and objectively evaluate the game. Mill Wall¡¯s victory is well deserved. They defeated their opponents with a solid defense and a sharp counterattack. Hall overcame the difficulties again when the outside world was not optimistic, and miraculously led Mill Wall into the Champions League for the first time. The Champions League final next month! The opponents of the final have already come out yesterday, Millwall will face the Spanish white giant Real Madrid, one is the first team in the history of the Champions League, the other is the six times in the history of the club Real Madrid, who won the Champions League, Millwall must want to replicate the miracle of Nottingham Forest, and Real Madrid will be full of ambitions to win the championship after 32 years in the Champions League. What kind of spark will the two teams produce? ?May 20, please wait and see!"


    At the end of the game, Millwall''s backup players all rushed into the stadium. They hugged with the main players and celebrated the joy of advancing to the final.


    Aldridge took a breath, closed his eyes and adjusted his mind, then opened his eyes and strode towards Tigana.


    "Congratulations, next month, I''m going to the Netherlands again. To be honest, I''m envious and unwilling, but you really won my persuasion."


    Tigana maintained his demeanor and blessed Aldridge gently.


    Aldridge said modestly: "I just have a good hand."


    Tigana shook her head and smiled without saying a word, which was better or worse, there was no need to find a reason to comfort his failure.


    Aldrich shook hands with him after the game and turned to look at the court. The rushing players were excited, and the Monaco players were sad.


    This is almost the same trajectory as last year.


    Eliminate French friends in the semi-finals, and then go to the Netherlands to play in the finals.


    It''s just that the venue is slightly different. It was Rotterdam last year and Amsterdam this year.


    When the two players lined up before the game, Henry had a conversation with Trezeguet.


    The pair of friends who are partners in the national youth team face this game with the belief that they will win.


    "Remember to check your mailbox next month."


    Trezeguet said to Henry before the game.


    Henry froze for a moment, then asked: "Why?"


    "I will send you the UEFA Champions League final ticket, and I will also include a ticket to and from France, and you will be responsible for the rest.


    Trezeguet was not ashamed. After Henry responded, Trezeguet had already moved forward shamelessly. Henry turned his head and shouted at him: "I have accepted the ticket. You still have to keep the ticket and watch it on site. Remember to bring it Get on the camera and take a picture of me on the field!"


    The dialogue between the two made both teammates couldn''t help but bowed their heads and smiled, and when the game started, the players of the two teams were fully engaged, and the real swordsmanship began to fight...


    At the end of the game, Monaco fell, and Henry fell.


    He lay on the turf and looked at the night sky, and his heart was full of unwillingness, but he was recalling his half-single ball in the first round, which made him blame.


    Why is it no longer faster?


    why?


    Faster, Southgate may not even have a chance to foul, or maybe he will fall in the penalty area, not only let the opponent red card off, but also a penalty!


    If Monaco can beat Millwall away in the first round and return to home, they will win the game. Millwall will attack more aggressively. Monaco will fight back and their speed advantage will have more room to play!


    "Hey, get up, you should thank the fans of the home team. The boss asked us to do this every home. This is the tradition of the club, and Monaco should do the same."


    Henry opened his eyes and found Trezegue leaning over him and reaching for him. He reached out and shook hands with each other, and then Trezeguet was pulled from the ground. Henry sighed heartily: "I really envy You are going to play in the finals, if you are lucky, you can also become the Champions League.


    Trezeguet grinned and said: "What is good luck? Good luck, we will be the Champions League, bad luck, we will also be the Champions League!"


    Henry smiled bitterly: "I don''t know where your confidence comes from. The opponent in the final is Real Madrid."


    "We don''t care who our opponents are in the finals, are we confident? Maybe."


    Trezeguet could not help looking at Aldridge, who embraced Bout on the other side of the court.


    Henry followed his gaze, his eyes locked on Aldridge''s back, the magical younger one year older than him, oh no, if he could win the Champions League, he would not be magical, but Legendary handsome!


    He suddenly remembered that his agent had talked to him. Millwall was interested in acquiring him last summer. Although he did not formally negotiate with the club on the countertop, privately, there have been temptations between the two coaches and the agent. Sexual communication, Monaco rejected Millwall, Tigana did not want to let him go.


    In fact, what he did not know was that Aldridge pursued him three times. The first time was in the summer of 1994. Wenger did not let go. Aldrich took Thuram from Monaco. The second time was half a year later. Two months after Wenger''s class, the winter transfer window, Aldridge again sought Henry, Monaco refused, the third time was a private exchange with Tigana last summer.


    Before there was no agent, Henry¡¯s information channel was closed, and Aldridge was also known for being low-key in the transfer market. He never seduce players through media platforms, which would damage the relationship between the clubs, so Mill Whether Wall is a signing or player transfer in the transfer market, it has a strong mystery and unpredictability. As soon as the media arrives at the transfer window, there are many speculations, but they are far from the truth.


    Trezeguet gave Henry a hug, then turned around and thanked the fans who came to cheer them on with his teammates.


    Henry stared at the friend''s back, and his mood suddenly became very complicated.


    On the background of football, Henry from Klein Fontaine can be regarded as the arrogant of the sky, but Trezeguet came out of playing wild ball in Argentina. Before moving to Millwall, he played in the low-level grassroots club in Argentina.


    But in Millwall''s four years, Trezeguet''s progress has been rapid every year, and the development prospects are very good, because in these four years, he has laid a very good foundation, regardless of the ball skills or physical or game awareness.


    And the champion, with his soft hands, swept the English domestic field, and also won honors in the European War. Now, he is making great strides towards the highest honor of the club...


    At the post-match press conference, Aldridge was late. Today¡¯s victory is of great significance. He stayed with the players for a long time after the game, and the locker room is now full of joy.


    The French journalists present were in a low mood, the media in other countries were very excited, and Fleet Street simply wanted to celebrate Millwalla!


    This is the second time the English team has reached the Champions League final after Liverpool advanced to the finals in the 1985 Heisel Massacre!


    English football has experienced a five-year European war ban. After lifting the ban, it stopped in the qualifying rounds. The group stage was a terrible end. Manchester United entered the semi-finals of the Champions League last year. Millwall advanced to the finals this year. Such an obvious recovery trajectory.


    After 13 years of separation, there is finally another team in England that can strike the highest honor of European clubs!


    Some older reporters on Fleet Street couldn''t help but express emotion. No one could have imagined that Millwall, a notorious rogue team four years ago, could carry the flag of England in the European War.


    This can not help but evoke their good memories.


    Once, England was the king of Europe. There is no doubt that the English team has ruled an era, just like Italy in recent years. From 75 to 85, the English team reached the Champions League final 9 times, 7 times and 2 runner-ups. It has also created the unprecedented six-time champion of the Premier League.


    In this kind of memory, many Fleet Street reporters were smug, thinking that the trough of England had passed, and it was time to announce to Europe that the king of England had returned and once again rise up powerfully in Europa!


    The scene of the press conference turned into an argument between reporters and mocking each other.


    The English reporter talked about the Premier League''s impact on the throne of Europe''s first league. The progress in the European War is clearly evidenced, and it also proposed the rule of the European League in the last era.


    This makes French journalists totally unbearable.


    You **** won the game, and you have to show off your power here, which is a little bit deceiving.


    So they proposed that Real Madrid had five consecutive championships, 11 years in the Champions League, 8 times in the finals, 6 times in the championship and 2 times in the runner-up. This is a record set by a team, almost comparable to all the European Championships in the 70s and 80s. Brilliance created by the team.


    Fleet Street reporters sneered: the Champions League in the 1950s was just beginning to be held. It was an invitational plus friendly game. Real Madrid, which won five championships in a row, even with the 66-year championship, only looking at the number of trophies, it is really amazing, but And after that? In 30 years, he only participated in one final and lost to Liverpool. In the history of European football in the past three decades, Real Madrid? Sorry, it was just a La Liga giant, second only.


    French journalists and English journalists are struggling. Other journalists are very good at the show and find today''s press conference particularly interesting. The news is actually from their peers.


    Aldridge didn''t say a word, and when the two sides were arguing, he took the opportunity to ask back: "Can I go?"


    "No! Mr. Hall, what do you think?"


    No one wants Aldridge to stay out of the way and hopes that he will express his views.


    Aldridge glanced at the press officer at the scene, and the other party seemed unwilling to let him go, although the designated time had passed.


    He had to say, "I have a friend who loves smelly beauty. When she was a child, when summer came, she saw the new dress in the window of the fashion shop, and she felt very beautiful, and she liked it so much, so she kept telling me: If I wear that How beautiful a dress will be. I said to her at the time: But you haven¡¯t put it on yet. Later, I bought the dress and gave it to her. After she put it on, I said to her: You put it on Sure enough it was beautiful. Goodbye gentlemen."


    Aldridge got up and left.


    There was silence at the scene, and after about half a minute, the voices of reporters from various countries bowed their heads and snickered gradually and gradually grew louder.


    The reporters on Fleet Street looked sullen.


    Come on, Aldridge, elbows out!


    This young marshal is so abominable that he taught everyone to turn around.


    Isn''t it ironic that Fleet Street reporters are delusional?


    The reporters from other countries nodded, but the young commander was a clear man: the honor did not come, he was proud of it!


    Aldrich actually does not resent the arrogance and sometimes arrogance of Fleet Street. The voice they represented was originally in England, which also conformed to the national characteristics. The arrogance and arrogance. The 13-year depression and suffocation became ill. , Nothing to blame.


    But he must remain sober, and at the same time, the strong rise of the Premier League is also a fact, but it is far from being able to impact the strength of the first league.


    It is still a stage of striving to catch up, and when it really has a concept of strong impact and dominance against Europe, it will be seven years later in the original history. In the eight years after 2004, it will advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League and the semifinals. The number of Premier League teams in the finals is the most. Although Barcelona won three championships by virtue of its own strength, the overall strength of the Premier League is obvious to all. At that stage, Europe has also entered a modern super strong team creation mode. There is only one core factor that changes the pattern of the old era: money.


    Millwall led by Aldrich changed history, but he also knew that Millwall could not represent the strength of the entire Premier League. He just used the advantage of the prophet to build a super strong team in advance. It does not represent the level or competition of the entire Premier League. The force has reached a qualitative level.


    When boarding the bus to the airport, Aldridge had been seated by Jenson, but today was robbed by Ewen. She grumbled at Aldridge grittedly: "You have a friend who loves smelly Why? I don¡¯t remember!"


    After she finished, she stepped on Aldridge''s feet mercilessly...

 Chapter 315： Battle of Amsterdam

    It was late at night to return to London. After walking out of the airport, Aldridge disbanded the team, hugged each player again, and tirelessly said in everyone''s ear: "Go home and have a good rest."


    However, there must be a lot of players who can''t go home immediately and fall asleep. The body''s hyperactivity continues, and it requires a "cooling time".


    Aldridge pulled out his mobile phone on his way home to reply to his friends who sent him congratulations. Among them, Smith Carter sent five text messages in a row, and the lines were full of excitement.


    Whether he is a friend or a representative of Standard Chartered Bank, Aldridge would like to congratulate him.


    Millwall advanced to the Champions League final and was naturally even more excited than the fans as the sponsor.


    When they reached the semi-finals, the sponsors acted collectively. Although Millwall may not absolutely be able to reach the final, it is appropriate to prepare early. If you really wait for the results of Millwall''s game today, everyone will brew again. When propaganda builds momentum, the best propaganda phase will inevitably be missed.


    Before the season Puma wanted to launch a new jersey, Millwall officially rejected it, but now, they propose to make a UEFA Champions League final jersey, Millwall Club readily agrees that before today''s game, the Champions League final jersey sample will be done It came out. If Monaco was eliminated, it would be mass-produced immediately and then put on sale. At that time, the players would also wear a special final jersey to play.


    Millwall reached the Champions League final. The fans were very satisfied with the team''s performance. Even if the defending defeat in the league this year, everyone seems to be even happier than last year.


    After a little excitement, Aldridge suppressed the joy of advancing to the finals. He knows that if he is ecstatic, he may soon have unforgettable regrets.


    On the team''s training ground the next day, most of the main players gave vacations. They were going home late at night. When to fall asleep was still a problem. Even if the training came the next day, there would be no effect. Aldrich always pays attention to the combination of work and rest. He should never be stingy when it comes to giving players a holiday.


    The team¡¯s outstanding performance in the European War has caused a sudden increase in pressure on the young players in the team. Perhaps it is the motivation. They are very serious on the training ground today. They don¡¯t even say much gossip. They concentrate on training. They will debut on the weekend¡¯s league. Opportunity to appear.


    There are still three games left in the Millwall League, and Aldridge has plans. This weekend¡¯s league and final game are played by the substitute players. The middle game allows the main players to play slower and keep the game in a state like this. The main players have almost half a month to prepare for the Champions League final. The closing game could have allowed the main players to play, but Aldridge did not want to take risks. The variables of that game were too great to play very badly. He cannot risk the main injury.


    The players train hard, and the coaches work a lot easier.


    Aldrich was wearing sportswear and talking with Benitez on the sidelines. On a sunny afternoon, both of them were in a good mood. Aldridge looked at the blue sky with his chin and couldn¡¯t help but murmured: ¡°It¡¯s just one step away. Top of Europe!"


    It''s a legendary height, a football sanctuary that only a few coaches can reach. Hasn''t Aldridge dreamed of it? No, he thought long and hard!


    Now there is only one last step!


    "But this step is not as close as expected."


    Benitez smiled.


    Aldridge nodded and sighed, "Yeah, it''s close to the horizon, and it will be clear in two hours. Rafael, you''re leaving, right?"


    Benitez replied: "Your insight is amazing, yes, I am going back to Spain in the summer to take over a second team."


    "Without you, my work will get worse."


    "With Millwall''s reputation, it is possible to hire a sufficiently good assistant coach."


    "Here in the club, everyone plays their own role, but it''s not just work. I will miss the time we have spent together carefully preparing for each game."


    "me too."


    Aldridge is well prepared for Benitez¡¯s planned departure. The other party is not in the pool, and it is impossible to nest in the position of Millwall¡¯s assistant. In the past two years, Benitez has also opened From the perspective, at least you can see the football landscape that was never seen in Real Madrid B team.


    He personally regained his confidence in the bleakness of the early coaching career, and summarized a set of his own football philosophy. In this industry, the copied doctrine can not achieve high achievements. The top figures in the coaching field, everyone It has its own unique style. Even the head coaches from the same football style faction have very different personal characteristics, and the successful team created has a unique brand.


    Aldridge will wish Benitez to return to Spain for development, and also look forward to the bottom of his heart: Where will he meet when he meets again in the future?


    The time and place may be uncertain, but it must be a tit-for-tat enemy. Such a scene must be particularly interesting.


    In the weekend League Millwall at home 2:0 soldiers bloodlessly sent away Southampton who just relegated successfully and desperately. In the same round, Arsenal beat Barnsley with two goals away, Manchester United defeated Crystal Palace with three goals away, Milwaukee In theory, the probability of winning the title becomes little, the realistic runner-up also has little hope, and Manchester United has expanded the number of goal difference.


    At the end of April when there was no competition, Millwall officially held a press conference, and Fleet Street reporters swarmed, wondering what Millwall suddenly held a press conference to announce.


    Reporters from all walks of life inquired about each other before coming.


    Are there players who want to transfer?


    Like Stam last year!


    Not too possible.


    There are players who dare to privatize music with other clubs at this time, which is simply a matter of anger. Last year¡¯s Stam event left a deep impression on everyone. No player did not want to play in the Champions League final, even if they were not the main players. Don''t you want to go to the Netherlands with your team? If you are sent to the reserve team, you really can''t go!


    Everyone guessed what was going on.


    So in doubt, he rushed to the Millwall club.


    Aldrich did not appear at the press conference, but Yiwen came forward.


    The scene of the conference was arranged differently than before. The reporters sat down on the stage with a large TV screen on the wall.


    Ewen stood next to him and smiled decently: "The theme of today''s press conference is Millwall''s launch of the UEFA Champions League final jersey and two promotional videos of the Champions League final, as well as the announcement of the Millwall Junior Football Charity Cup."


    The reporters looked at each other, and suddenly felt like they were being played.


    Dare to love Millwall to call them to help them propagate.


    But since it''s here, let''s take a look. It''s a piece of news anyway. Moving the pen can give the boss a job, and it''s not bad to enrich the content of the newspaper.


    There is only one set of dark blue in the Champions League final, because Real Madrid will wear a traditional white jersey, and Millwall does not care. Their home and away jerseys are dark blue and black this year. There is no hit shirt with the traditional white jersey of Real Madrid. Possibility.


    This special edition jersey of the Champions League final changed the neckline style, and embroidered the big ear cup pattern on the arm position, and the year is marked below: 1998.


    In fact, there are no particularly big changes, but with some elements of the Champions League, this will make the club make money and excite the sponsors.


    The reporters took photos of the special jersey, and then Yiwen took the remote control to control the large screen and introduced to the reporters on the spot: "This is the first promotional video of the Champions League decisive battle. Please enjoy."


    Most of the reporters on the scene were expressions with little interest, but they gave Millwall a face, but when the big screen began to broadcast the promo, they were suddenly shocked: this is definitely a big deal, not crude production. !


    At the beginning of the promotional film is a series of scenes of rapid jumps, there is the East London community radiated by Millwall, the jumping shot can see the children playing football, the fans watching the ball, the trained players... the last ending picture It is a lion''s cave stadium shot from a high altitude, and also has special effects. The blue lion on the Milwall team''s emblem is looming on the court. The senses are extremely shocking.


    After the end of the first stage, the picture was dark, and then the music was heated. The picture flashed, and the shocking eyeball scored the goal and the highlights were staged.


    The combination of the goal pictures edited from the game is just right, and the moment of seeing a goal can be seen in less than a second. The effect like a machine gun shot is exciting.


    When the goal feast ended, the player''s celebration slow motion appeared in the picture, clearly showing the player''s facial features, and under the rendering of special effects, they showed their unique man''s wild charm.


    Larson, Trezeguet, Nedved, Shevchenko are the four protagonists.


    Then the screen once again entered a series of quick highlights, Pirlo, Barak¡¯s good pass, Makelele, Gattuso¡¯s steals, Schneider, Capdevila, Zambrotta¡¯s sharp assists, So Sgate, Elgra''s tough defense, Bout''s wonderful save, and finally added some wonderful moments from the bench.


    This highlight is made and plays at a slightly faster rate, which is particularly eye-catching.


    Then, the picture returned to the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium, but this time the lens angle was flat. On the court, one figure after another appeared out of thin air. That was Millwall¡¯s main lineup. They appeared on the court in a V-shape wearing a special Champions League final jersey. After them, they are the replacement players, forming a large V-shaped formation.


    The picture changed, and a man appeared in the dark scene. He only saw the front chest below his neck. He put his hands on the tie with his hands neatly. Then he reached for a suit, shook his shoulders, and wore the suit. .


    The scene changed again, and it was the player channel of the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium. The blonde man in a suit and leather came out of the dark channel and stood at the front of the V-shaped team, turning around with a serious face and sharp eyes. , It is the mad lion commander: Aldridge.


    Immediately afterwards, the screen switched to the stand of the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium, which was also a screen edited from the game video. It was the fans who cheered for the team¡¯s flag and cheered passionately. They selected the most exciting and shocking pictures of their classic classics. The moment is played in slow motion.


    Finally, once again returning to the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium, Aldridge led the team into a V shape, and on the empty stadium stands, the fans appeared little by little out of thin air, and the flag of the mad lion covered the stands, making the whole picture full and full. Shocking.


    A line of flashing words appeared on the turf in front of the team formation.


    Battle against Amsterdam!


    When the video was over, there was silence at the scene, and then the reporters started applauding and talking and talking.


    Millwall made this promo really **** passionate!


    And from the community culture around the club at the beginning to the final appearance of the fan group as the "Twelfth Man" role, if this propaganda film removes the last "decisive Amsterdam", it can be used as Millwall''s promo every season. Of course, it is necessary to ensure that the players appearing on the screen are still wearing crazy lion jerseys.

 Chapter 316： Battle of Kings

    When the reporters were discussing, the BBC reporter suddenly raised his hand and asked Yiwen: "Excuse me, can we broadcast this video on TV?"


    Yiwen immediately smiled and replied: "Of course, any media platform can be taken. We will broadcast it on the official TV station and official website, and the website also provides free download."


    After receiving this answer, the BBC reporter nodded.


    This kind of eye-catching promotional video, although it is suspected of advertising for Millwall on the TV station, but at the same time, it can also increase the ratings. They certainly will not be broadcast separately, then it will really become an advertisement, but it will be in some football. Give the audience appreciation in the program, and use the promotional video to improve the ratings of the football program.


    Other TV stations such as ITV naturally thought of this, but they didn¡¯t say anything. Anyway, it can be downloaded for free on the Internet. Millwall doesn¡¯t need any copyright at all. This kind of propaganda film is made for maximum dissemination unless there are other goals. The team copied their promotional video, and then there will be a rights movement.


    Yi Wen gestured to everyone and smiled: "There is also a promo, please enjoy it."


    Participants will no longer use a perfunctory attitude, calm down and wait and see.


    When the second promotional video started playing, everyone had an illusion.


    Is Millwall wrong?


    cartoon!


    The promo started with a classic animation style, which opened a map of Europe with scrolls, and then narrowed the focus from top to bottom, bringing together the United Kingdom and the Thames in southeast London.


    In a jungle, a lovely blue lion cub emerged. The sun was shining and the flowers and grass were everywhere. It fluttered carefreely about the butterflies. Suddenly, it raised its neck and looked east, as if attracted attention. Li, then began to run east.


    In the process of running, his young body began to grow and became larger and larger, and the running speed was also faster and faster. The wind and electricity triggered a gust of wind. The camera turned and aimed at its firm eyes, and then pulled the picture closer , Straight into its eyes, in the depths, a picture appeared in the darkness, from small to large, and then occupied the entire screen.


    That was the historic first game of the Millwall Champions League against Eindhoven and Larson scored a goal.


    While Larson scored, the passionate commentary also lingered in his ears.


    "Larsen scored a milestone goal in the history of Millwall Club! This is their Champions League debut and the first goal they scored!"


    Screen switching, goals against Dynamo Kiev and goals against Barcelona are all accompanied by crazy commentators.


    Against Juventus.


    "Pirlo! Pirlo lore Juventus! Lore, lore!..."


    Against Monaco.


    "Trezeguet helped the team open the first record, Millwall reached the final with one foot!"


    ...


    After the passionate game screen ended, the screen returned to the animation scene. A boundless sea was near, the sun shone on the waves, the picture turned around, and the blue lion standing on the seashore had already gone from the lion cub Become majestic and powerful, with the domineering style of the king of the jungle.


    Facing this beautiful seascape, the blue lion continued to run forward, and suddenly the road of crystal appeared at its feet, all the way to the east, it continued to run forward, and the road to the sea continued to appear in front of it. At the top of the castle, there is a trophy shining brightly in the sun!


    European Championship Cup!


    When the blue lion came to the gate of the castle and looked up at the trophy and showed his determined gaze, the sky was suddenly shrouded in shadow, and a white giant appeared at the other end of the castle, the same as the blue lion. The champion trophy stared at me, the blue lion made a loud roar, and jumped toward the champion trophy. At the same time, the white giant also stepped on the earth to make the world tremble. The moment the two touched the trophy, the screen ended, one line Metallic characters appear heavily in the center of the screen.


    May 20, 1998


    Battle of Kings!


    "WOW..."


    When the second promotional video ended, cheers broke out on the scene.


    The reporters now felt that this trip was true and that they had come to the right place.


    All the thoughts previously played by Millwall disappeared.


    It must be said that even Millwall''s promotional film made with cartoons as a carrier is very shocking and exciting.


    And the meaning is clear.


    After a battle, they grew up.


    The Netherlands is in the east of England, just across the sea.


    Amsterdam is a water city, simply reflected by the sea castle.


    The white giant that appeared at the end must have implied Real Madrid, but did not use any Real Madrid elements, such as the team logo, the name or something, otherwise Real Madrid may not agree to your use, but the effect is very good. , Everyone''s heart is not declaring, and the animation does not feel at all inconsistent.


    After watching this video, I was involuntarily looking forward to the final on May 20th.


    As for why Millwall wanted to make such a cartoon-style promotional film, it was very simple, capturing children fans.


    In 1994, the cartoon Lion King was deeply loved by a generation of teenagers, and its influence was far-reaching. Millwall borrowed this model. When some children who like football see such animation promo, they will naturally have a feeling for Millwall. Concern, they will not always be children. When they were young, Millwall planted seeds in their hearts. Maybe not every child who has watched the promo will become a fan of Millwall in the future, but for sure It will be more than the growth of fans without such publicity.


    The number of fans is one of the important criteria for measuring the influence of a football club, and then becomes a commercial influence.


    In the era of Aldridge, Millwall was difficult to change the older generation of football fans who had a firm belief in football. He could only "loot" the new generation of fans as much as possible, neutral fans, just like he built the team, others His eyes are staring at being a star, but he loves tomorrow''s superstar. It is not that he does not want to be a star, but it is forced by reality. This is the same as the plight of the fan market.


    However, he is young, so he has patience, he will be at the stage of maturity in this streaming media era, and he will occupy the market to the maximum extent, especially the online market, young people are the main body of the online market, and Millwall¡¯s propaganda focus is also Mainly over there.


    After enjoying two wonderful promotional videos, Yiwen then announced a heavy news to reporters.


    "From this summer, Millwall will hold a one-month junior football championship charity cup every year. The participating teams are not limited to the team composition. The participants cannot be more than 15 years old. The city is the point, and the city champions are determined by region. The champions of each district, and then the champions of each district in the finals in London, the city champion has a prize of 2,000 pounds, the regional champion has 3,000 pounds, the final champion has 10,000 pounds, the runner-up has 5,000 pounds, and finally, Millwall will take the championship ball In the name of the team, donate 500,000 pounds to the Children¡¯s Charity Foundation! The amount of bonuses and donations will increase in the future as appropriate. The tournament organization will be borne by the FA, and the event costs will be borne by the three sponsors.


    At the scene, reporters took the lead in applauding salutes, others followed suit.


    In any case, Millwall does charity in the name of the club, which is an act that can win applause.


    You know, they are also carrying hundreds of millions of pounds of debt!


    This move was a precedent, and at the same time it could further scour the negative effects of Millwall''s football hooligan''s club.


    The plan for this charity cup match was discussed with Adam last summer and Adam, and it took more than half a year to formally finalize it.


    The first is the FA side. At first they just took the attitude of bystanders, but CEO Kelly soon realized that this would be an image project!


    The FA must intervene to take a slice of the pie.


    Millwall wants to spend money to enhance the public image and influence, but not just money, you have to have someone and time.


    How to arrange the game, who is responsible for the referee, and coordination of the game schedule, these can not be solved unilaterally by the Millwall Club alone.


    But the Football Association can, they are out to organize the game, the referee is also responsible for them, as for these costs, Millwall found three business partners from responsibility.


    Don¡¯t look at this is a U15 non-professional football match, but it¡¯s a mess with charity. Sponsors are rushing, and sponsorship fees are not too high anyway. The British cities are all over the courts. Organizing a group of teenagers to play football, the cost is not originally Big, the referee''s FA team must also use amateur, only in London to play the finals, may make some famous referees to show their faces, but also fame and fortune.


    Millwall is happy to be the shopkeeper. Although the charity money was donated in the name of the champion team, everyone knows that the money was actually paid by Millwall. In addition to the title competition, it will get the most from the beginning to the end. Aldrich also has a meaning in his popularity income. He hopes to try his luck through the annual competition. Like a draft game, can he meet good seedlings and dig Millwall.


    The format of this charity cup is finalized, and the schedule is also placed in the summer of each year. Even if the car crashes in the competition year, it is a group of young people under the age of 15 who play football. They can never have a slight relationship with the national team.


    Millwall used the propaganda of this cup to catch people''s hearts in all major urban areas of England and enhance their image. At least in the British mainland, they have begun to compete with Manchester United for the first fan market throne, although they are only just getting started. .


    Millwall''s press conference held in the middle of the week without a game ended perfectly, and journalists from all walks left with satisfaction.


    On the same night, a football program began to broadcast Millwall''s promo. For a time, the most popular films in England were Millwall''s two promos.


    The two promo films cost the club nearly a million pounds of budget. Don¡¯t watch the promo for a short time. The two together do not exceed 8 minutes, but the special effects can be done so well. The production of the team behind the scenes The cost is also very expensive, and it will be completed in a short period of time.


    The enthusiasm of these two propaganda films ignited the craze for neutral fans to pursue Millwall, and at the same time, it also triggered some conservative fans.


    They believe that Millwall, like Manchester United, has embarked on a thorough commercialization road, which is completely contrary to traditional football!


    Do you guys play football or make movies?


    Isn''t the little girl who has painted the club''s image like a flowery show attracting attention?


    The criticism of extremely conservative fans, Aldridge does not care, he is right or wrong in this way, time will give the answer, or that, when the number of Millwall fans surges again, the answer has already appeared Too.

 Chapter 317： Desperate Red Devils

    Three o''clock in the afternoon on May 9.


    This is a traditional start time for the Premier League. The Premier League has not begun to take care of the Asian market and will start the premise of the start time, but it is too fast. It will cause strong criticism from local fans. After all, the start time will become their lunch time.


    In the 38th round of the Premier League, 10 goals from 20 teams will start at the same time.


    In the last round of the league, Millwall did his best to win two goals away on the road. Xie Wednesday, the main players are mainly adjusted, and the opponents also declared success in relegation. As long as they are not ugly at home, the team can accept , Xie was at least relieved on Wednesday, Millwall did not open a killing ring because he wanted to catch the goal difference with Manchester United. If it was really a real weapon, Xie Wednesday was at home to take care of his face, even if he was clear Can''t kick Millwall, at least he will fight with Millwall for bleeding.


    Aldridge didn¡¯t even consider a goal difference on Xie Wednesday. This idea is extremely stupid. The Premier League teams want to play a big score. Even the two teams with great strengths will be a specific factor. The result is a big score result, the strong team is super strong, the weak team is facing a situation of having to attack heavily, etc. Xie Wednesday relegation successfully played at home, Millwall dare to score the third and fourth goals on the road , Maybe the opponent¡¯s dog jumped the wall and hurt several Millwall players, but it is not necessarily a deliberate injury, but the fight, the confrontation will definitely be very fierce, everyone has a three-point fire, no tree bark, people have faces!


    In the same round, Manchester United defeated Leeds United 3-0 at home, Arsenal defeated Everton 4-0, Millwall¡¯s defending hope was also declared to be broken in theory, and only the runner-up existed in theory, demanding Milwaukee. Not only did Manchester United beat Manchester United at home, they also won 6 opponents...


    This season''s Premier League finale is not much to watch. There are only two relegation battles. Barnsley and Crystal Palace are relegated in advance. Everton and Bolton fight for the last landing spot. The difference between the two teams is one point. Bolton points lead.


    The Premier League championship will be generated between Manchester United and Arsenal, the gap between the two is only 1 point, Arsenal lead.


    The authentic trophy was sent to Vera Park Stadium. Arsenal challenged Aston Vera as long as they won the game and won the championship steadily.


    Another replica was taken to the Lion''s Cave Stadium, which was prepared for Manchester United.


    Aldridge seemed calm today, and he spoke to the players who will be playing in the locker room before the game.


    "Arsenal are our derby rivals in the same city. They lost or tied. Manchester United won us today. Manchester United is the champion and will celebrate the championship at our home carnival. This is something our fans cannot accept, and I cannot accept it. I don¡¯t wish Arsenal to win the championship, but I can¡¯t allow Manchester United to hold the trophy at the Lion¡¯s Den.¡±


    If today''s opponent is not Manchester United, Aldridge has no need to put pressure on the players, but today''s situation forces him to make the players aware of the consequences of losing!


    After taking over from Aldridge, Millwall has not been double-killed by any team in a single season in the league. The Cup has a history of being double-killed by Newcastle United, but that doesn''t matter.


    But if he lost to Manchester United at home today, Millwall has remained undefeated at home for nearly two years and will have to end, and he will be double-killed by his opponents in the league. He may also witness the other party winning the championship at home to celebrate, which is absolutely intolerable. Things must be avoided.


    Aldrich returned to the coach seat after shaking hands with Ferguson before the game, looking at the field calmly as if he didn''t care about the game.


    Manchester United will give Arsenal the top spot in the top half of the year, who blames it?


    In the first half of the match, they even defeated the powerful defending champions, but did not expect that Arsenal will be in the second half of the season.


    Yes, Arsenal is against the sky.


    In 18 games in the second half of the season, they scored 15 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, which is 47 points.


    If Arsenal have such a performance in the first half of the season, then they will have about 95 points, and it is not counted as the result of the final round.


    Obviously, Arsenal, who was tuned by Wenger, exploded into amazing power after he matured.


    This situation is not uncommon. Whenever a team ushers in a new stage of technical and tactical play, there will be a good wave of record climax, like Millwall, who won 18 consecutive victories last year.


    One of the laws of football that changes coaches such as changing knives also embodies this aspect. The new coach takes office and the players¡¯ military services are used. The new coach brings a novel tactical system. The players work hard and often play a good performance at a stage, but wait Once the peak period has passed, the opponent''s targeted research, his own dynamic fatigue, and other factors, will fall from the peak, tend to normal or be swallowed by the opponent and fall into a trough.


    Millwall also performed very well in the second half of the season, with 13 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses in 18 games, and scored 42 points. This is not the last game. If there is such a performance in the first half of the season, Millwall has at least 85. In the past few Premier League games, they have been champions, but their draws were too much in the first half of the season, and they also lost two games.


    But the upward trend of the team is obvious, especially when the main players are going to the European war in the second half of the season, the league''s excellent record is achieved by the backup players picking the beam.


    Compared with the two teams, Manchester United obviously played a lot worse in the second half of the season, from leading Arsenal by 10 points to being overtaken by 1 point, and now it is only 3 points away from Millwall. What is Manchester United missing? Fleet Street unanimously believes that after Cantona retired, Manchester United lacked a spiritual leader, Keane is the successor, but unfortunately Keane was injured from the field in the second half of the season, which has the most intuitive impact on Manchester United''s record.


    Ferguson''s face looked nervous, unable to relax at all.


    Perhaps it is unhappy.


    Change who is leading the majority of the season results in the final battle can not grasp the initiative to win are not happy!


    "The final round of the English Premier League in the 97/98 season is about to begin. The focus battle at the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium was the last season¡¯s Premier League champion Millwall vs. the runner-up of the previous season. Manchester United still have hopes of winning the championship. The media has made various predictions of the final round of the championship. Arsenal wins, Arsenal wins, Arsenal draws, Manchester United wins, Arsenal still wins, if Arsenal loses, Manchester United must also lose , Arsenal can win the championship, this situation is the opposite for Manchester United. Their theory of winning may not necessarily beat Millwall at the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium, but in the state of Arsenal, losing to Aston away The probability of Vera is too low."


    "Martin, I don¡¯t think it¡¯s necessary to discuss the situation anymore. No team can easily win the league championship. If you want to win the championship, you have to show the courage and will to win the championship! Arsenal want the championship, Manchester United want, Do the two teams have to stare at their opponents and then adjust their rhythm in the final battle? No, not at all, forget the points and fight for victory is the team that wins the championship. The situation is not good for Manchester United, but if Manchester United is in the heart Thinking about whether Arsenal will lose, will they only get a tie to play, so how can they play 100% or even 200% of the strength to win the game and compete for the championship?"


    "Oh, Andy, you are right. Manchester United must first consider winning Millwall, but Hall does not seem to want the Red Devils to easily take the victory here. Although he sent a full bench today, against the Red Devils. The main force, but from the perspective of Hall¡¯s platoon formation, this is exactly a posture to snipe Manchester United. 4312, three midfielders, Gattuso, Lampard, Barak, this is all able to fight The ruthless role, coupled with the solid performance of Materazzi and Ferdinand in the second half of the league, it is difficult for us to look at them with the usual eyes of a team substitute."


    "Yeah, although Hall declared the league defending defeat this season, but I think this is a season of their harvest, a season to lay the foundation for a better tomorrow, many young players grow up through the game, the main force and the substitute The gap between the strengths is constantly narrowing, and Millwall¡¯s overall has become stronger. This season, they are planted in multi-line combat, and they are planted under the intensive defensive sniper strategy that each team has been playing last season. They still have a lot of improvement. The excellent performance in the European field proves this. The second half of the season is better than the first half of the season is also a strong proof, and this is Millwall distracted from the premise of the European war. "


    ...


    Aldridge sat on the coach seat, watching the game with his chin, seeming casual.


    Manchester United has been anti-guest since the opening, and the offensive played a wave higher than a wave, but it was all thunder and rain.


    After adjusting the strategy in the second half of the year, Millwall and the psychological warfare in the Aldridge league, these bench players have been greatly trained in the league, especially the defensive end is more stable, and today is more focused than usual Defensive, three midfielders have a large running range, tough defense, and actively withdraw from the posture. Manchester United''s attack only relies on two sides to play high shots. The shot in the threat zone is zero, and even a long shot cannot be found. The timing of the kick.


    Today''s front waist is Ronaldinho, and the strikers are Good Johnson and Fanny.


    Millwall''s counterattack from the defense to the attack was simple and straightforward. Ronaldinho was free in the front field. After receiving the ball, he could pass the ball and pass the ball. The forward was marked to death. He came by himself. Anyway, the opponent attacked fiercely. Midfield defense is a Bart.


    Manchester United''s players are desperate today, but the striker is not good.


    Today is Andy Cole and Solskjaer.


    Babyface has been plagued by injuries this season. The number of goals is very low. Sheringham''s goals bought in the summer are also unpleasant. What is the lack of staffing for Manchester United, which already has a gold midfielder?


    If Ferguson asks Aldridge, Aldridge will tell the other party generously: Black Wind and Double Sha.


    You lack a York that can pass and shoot.


    Of course, according to the historical trajectory, Manchester United and York will soon come together.


    Aldridge would not hinder this kind of ethics, the players he bought must be planned, and Millwall did not go to the point where some giants bought players just to keep competitors out of reach.


    Manchester United continues to rely on two sideways to hit the dangerous area, but it is always close to the goal. Solskjaer''s state after recovery from injury is uncomfortable.


    Aldrich could not help but sigh softly after seeing the love of the past who struggled **** the field.


    Before the end of the first half, the Manchester United army pressed for another wave of offensive force, Neville also assisted, but unfortunately the sideline ball was accurately intercepted by Materazzi, then, Millwall turned his gun towards Manchester United Pull the trigger!


    Ronaldinho got the ball in the frontcourt and drew the ball horizontally out of play. He made a two-on-one match with Goodjohnson and then inserted the ball. After passing Bart, he made another two-on-one with Fanny before the penalty area. Within a few seconds, two consecutive passes directly penetrated Manchester United''s defense line. Ronaldinho took the ball into the penalty area and faced the attacking Schmeichel to push the goal to the far corner.


    After the goal, Ronaldinho shook his head and made a symbolic gesture to pay tribute to the fans in the stands. The Lion Cave Stadium cheered thunderously. They liked the Brazilian so much, magical footwork, smart body, plus the goal after the goal. Happy celebration, every crazy lion fan firmly believes: Ronaldinho, Millwall''s next king!


    The Manchester United fans who came on the road held their heads in despair. They were as sad as Ferguson''s expression.


    If they didn¡¯t lose to Arsenal at home, why would they have to play Millwall in the final battle and be radical and lead to being counterattacked and losing the ball? The happy celebration of the opponent makes Manchester United feel as if humiliation.

 Chapter 318： Kick another champion

    After the Premier League ended in the intermission, Aldridge took the lead to return to the locker room. The tactics remained unchanged, but he told the team to control the pace of the midfield in the second half and used Manchester United''s eagerness to equalize the score to counterattack.


    Strong competition, the most taboo is the opponent''s intent to guess, Manchester United wants to attack, it is not a secret from the beginning of the game, this is similar to the situation when Millwall and Manchester United played in the first half, because the points are behind and they are eager to narrow the distance and go on the road It also weakens the defense and puts more energy into the offense. Although there is a lot of pressure on the frontal offense, the defensive pressure of being counterattacked by the opponent will also increase.


    After the halftime break, the players from both sides walked back to the field, while Aldridge still sat on the coach''s seat.


    Ferguson''s turn could not stand, he stood on the sidelines from the beginning of the second half to direct the players to run, allowing Manchester United players to make unremitting efforts to impact Millwall''s defense.


    The Red Devils started to fight and launched a Jedi counterattack.


    Millwall kept the fight. The opponent''s pair of gold wings continued to make a fuss on the wing. Fortunately, the Manchester United striker was not powerful and did not pose too much threat.


    Manchester United''s three strikers, Cole, Solskjaer, and Sheringham, who are sitting on the bench today, even if Scholes is counted, the total of four people''s goals is less than 40, even Manchester United 60% of the goals were not reached. Sheringham¡¯s scoring rate of less than 0.3 per game is really not complimentable. Solskjaer¡¯s scoring rate is similar to that of Sheringham even though he is troubled by injuries this season. , Has scored 16 goals, and hope to impact the Premier League striker king, as long as he plays a hat trick in this game.


    Millwall was distracted from the European War this year. In the Premier League shooter list, Larson and Shevchenko have already scored 18 and 17, and Trezeguet has fewer and 15 goals. The number of goals scored last year has dropped significantly, but in terms of playing time, the goal efficiency is still amazing.


    When the game reached the 60th minute, there was a commotion in the stands.


    Fans of the crazy lions watched the game with a relaxed mind. To be honest, if they think about the Premier League competition today, their mood will be very contradictory, and they will simply be left behind.


    Manchester United came to close to three thousand fans, they originally did not have so many tickets, more admission fans are tickets bought from the black market, the ox party took the opportunity to make a fortune.


    The place where the commotion occurred was in the stands of the visiting team fans. Manchester United fans got the latest news, and then started a new round of cheering.


    "Oh, somebody scored over Villa Park."


    "Let me guess, it is definitely not Arsenal, otherwise Manchester United fans will not be the reaction."


    "Yes, Aston Villa led Arsenal at 1:0 at home. Wenger''s team has been rushing from the second half of the season, but at the last moment of the championship, they look too nervous, they actually fell behind. ."


    "They are actually the same as Manchester United. The win is the most stable. The draw is not safe. The away game may be too much to be counterattacked by Aston Villa. This is what Aston Villa is best at."


    "Manchester United should be happy, as long as they can even the score, Villa Park''s game will no longer change the score, then they will tie with Arsenal, and then win the Premier League championship through the goal difference!"


    The Manchester United coaching staff also got news, Ferguson urged the disciples to fight harder!


    Millwall was originally a substitute player. If Manchester United could not win the game, it would be too much to say.


    Now Aston Villa has helped. For the time being, a draw will allow the Red Devils to see the hope of the championship, and as long as the Red Devils score a tie, Arsenal will get the news and will be hit, maybe they can Let Aston Villa play a few more.


    Manchester United launched a violent attack around Millwall''s penalty area and did not expect to reach the forward line. Manchester United can only rely on two sideways and Scholes'' personal play to make a fuss. The Giggs sideline has repeatedly threatened inside, Beckham Mu also tried a few long shots, Scholes frequently moved forward after the midfielder responded, almost the same as the forward.


    The danger in front of Millwall is constant, and Keller, who has been sparse for a long time, has performed well. Since being the No. 2 goalkeeper of Millwall, he has only played in the cup in no time, but just before the game today, he last time The appearance was in a game where the FA Cup was eliminated, the time interval is a little far away, but he is in good shape, and the successful ball has never made mistakes.


    From 63 minutes to 70 minutes, Manchester United launched a storm-like attack without success. When they were more and more pressured, Millwall''s counterattacks gradually became larger.


    In the 72nd minute, Scholes'' long shot on the penalty area was blocked by Ferdinand''s body, to be precise, with the shoulder. The Manchester United player raised his hand to request a penalty. The referee ignored it but turned around. Manchester United''s half-time run, because the popped ball landed at the foot of Barak, Millwall immediately launched a counterattack.


    Bart consciously focused on Ronaldinho''s position, but Barak did not pass Ronaldinho but handed it to Lampard who ran forward.


    Midfield is empty, Manchester United is not defensive, defensive midfielder Butt stares at Ronaldinho step back and back, Lampard rushes the ball forward, no one comes up to force him, Beckham rushes back from behind and is chasing At the time, Lampard passed the ball to Good Johnson, who was retreating forward.


    The Icelander took control of the ball and did not rush forward. After Barak rushed from the other side, he passed the ball to Barak.


    At this time, Millwall pressed five people before Manchester United''s penalty area, and Manchester United also had five defenses. However, Millwall managed to penetrate the opponent''s defense line by actively running through the pass.


    Barak wants to break into the penalty area, which makes Bart have to give up Ronaldinho, but Bart immediately moved the ball to Ronaldinho in front of the big penalty area.


    Ronaldinho took a long-range shot and forced the Manchester United defender to have to press out. Stam came to grab. Ronaldinho shot a true pass and it was a positive pass. The ball rolled from between Stam''s legs. Goodjohnson took the ball diagonally and attracted Paliste''s attention. When Pallister''s center of gravity was tilted, Goodjohnson passed the ball gently, Fannis, the king of the small penalty area. Truy succeeded in the offside and faced Schmeichel with a close shot to beat the opponent!


    "Fanny scored! He has contributed 10 league goals to the team in a limited number of appearances this season. Compared to Manchester United''s thin striker, Millwall''s striker is really talented! 2:0 score Let Manchester United smell the taste of death, Villa Park Stadium is still a score of 1:0, today''s Premier League title is too dramatic, if Manchester United knows that Arsenal will lose before the game, they will definitely not play on the road It¡¯s so radical, but who can tell the prophet? Hehe, the situation is now reminiscent of a scene two years ago. Andy, what do you say?"


    "Hahaha, did you mean that Millwall was visiting St. James Park Stadium two years ago? In the final stage of the league, Newcastle United champions are in sight, and the result is lost to Millwall at home, Keegan''s dream league champion was Huo Er kicked the ball ruthlessly, and today''s Manchester United seems to be dreaming in front of Hall!"


    Aldrich stood up calmly and called Duff and Van der Meade before the warm-up. Although there were less than 20 minutes left in the game, he still hoped to pass the game with Manchester United, especially in this big scene. Let the two clearly tactical instructions, calmly play after playing.


    Regardless of how much time is left, and what is going on in the game, the bench players must perform well.


    Millwall made a substitution, and there was no suspicion of delaying time because Aldridge changed the two at once.


    Goodjohnson and Barak were replaced.


    After all, Barack is the first substitute in the Champions League midfielder. He played more than 70 minutes today, and he still needs some energy.


    Ferguson also substituted. He added a striker to put Sheringham on the field and replaced Palistre.


    Manchester United is really fighting, playing 343 instead. There are only four defensive players in the backcourt. Except for Stam, there is no one-on-one player who absolutely eats Millwall offense.


    Millwall changed 4231.


    Manchester United is about to break through, Aldridge can foresee that when the second goal appears, Manchester United has no escape route, Millwall, with more than 15 minutes left, deadlock is not a good choice, use counterattack The 4231 formation with more points in the frontcourt is more suitable.


    Manchester United''s substitutions took effect after 5 minutes.


    Beckham lifted his feet from the right side of the penalty area and shot the far corner of the goal. As a result, the ball hit the crossbar and flew towards the penalty area.


    Manchester United has one more striker, Millwall staring in the penalty area has not adapted, missed an opponent''s forward, plus the opponent is shot after the shot, the two-point attack is originally a weak defense line, this Red Devils striker is smart Ground shot to get started.


    "Solskjaer! He pulled a goal back for the team, with about 10 minutes left. Manchester United will tie the score as long as it scores another goal, the score at Villa Park Stadium has not changed, Manchester United has been from the death line Shanghai is back, at least, they see a ray of life!"


    After Solskjaer scored a goal, he hugged the ball and ran back. Manchester United¡¯s teammates ran back breathlessly while encouraging each other.


    After losing the ball, Aldridge walked to the side of the court and calmly gestured to the team to press down, let them stabilize, do not panic.


    Millwall had nothing to worry about. If Manchester United really tied the score and won the championship, it would have to be given by Arsenal.


    There is not much time left, after Millwall restarts the kick, Manchester United will aggressively press on the offensive, which forces Millwall players in the backcourt also began to make frequent big-footed clearance.


    Aldrich never prohibits players from opening big feet. Although he said that the style of the ball is mainly based on ball passing, he can''t face the game with brains.


    Materazzi''s big feet opened high and far, but Aldridge really appreciated his move.


    This kind of relief ball can make everyone slow down the psychological pressure, and also consumes the physical power of Manchester United''s retreat. Although not all the staff retreat, at least each front line has opened the distance, giving Millwall time to re-arm and cut the opponent''s attack. Formation time.


    When the game came to the last five minutes of regular time, Manchester United frequently raised the ball to the penalty area. Millwall quickly adjusted after experiencing the ball just lost. Lampard retreated deeper when he returned to the defense and the two defenders also shrank. restricted area.


    Neville came up with an assist and just wanted to catch Beckham''s pass to the bottom, but Zambrotta intercepted Beckham''s straight pass. Zambrotta sent a pass to Duff in front.


    Duff crossed to Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho passed straight to the left. Duff broke through the half and took the ball on the sideline at full speed. There are only three defensive players in the backcourt of Manchester United. Only four are the goalkeepers. And Millwall''s counterattack is to fight more and less.


    Duff followed the sidewalk to the threat zone and then cut in. When there was already an empty shot, Stam had to come up and rob, although he knew this was a dangerous move, but he couldn''t just watch the opponent kick. Shot.


    Sure enough, Stam moved, Duff passed the ball to Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho single-handed, Schmeichel attacked, Ronaldinho crossed the door.


    Van Nistelrooy easily pushed the empty goal.


    "Fanny Ni scored twice! Millwall leads Manchester United 3-1. It looks like Manchester United has no hope anymore. Hall will not let Manchester United win the championship trophy at the door of the crazy lion''s house!"


    Ferguson''s nose was red on the sidelines, and his lines were still for a long time. Before the game restarted, he waved his hand and told the Red Devils generals a clear signal: attack!


    No matter how much time is left in the game, even if there is only one second, you have to fight for a miracle!

 Chapter 319： Prepare for battle

    The Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium was full of laughter and laughter. The crazy lions fans sang in the stands, with only 3 minutes of stoppage time remaining until the end of the game. After the referee whistled, Millwall¡¯s journey to the Premier League this season will be painted. In the end, there is only the FA Cup final in the domestic competition, and it has nothing to do with them. Therefore, on this last home game day, the fans are happy and relaxed, as long as Manchester United do not win their home championship, other results can be accepted.


    Manchester United overwhelmed the offensive to no avail. Instead, Millwall played another wave of counterattacks before the end of the game. Fanny pretended to pass the ball after getting the ball in the front field. Stam was cheated, and then Fanny went to the meeting alone. Stam was After shaking, a look of loss of soul: no chance.


    Fanny took the ball forward and found that Stam wasn''t chasing him, so the rate began to drop, and it seemed that he would improve the grasp of this shot to the highest.


    Schmeichel stepped forward slowly to expand the defensive area, he beware of the opponent hanging the door.


    Aldridge has stood up to prepare for the whistle at the end of the game. When he saw that Fanny slowly walked, he didn''t shoot. The whole person seemed to be in a state of entanglement. Aldrich turned back and gestured to the coaching staff: This kid suddenly think about life!


    Perhaps Fanny thought of scoring this goal, he faced a hat-trick against Manchester United, so he even wanted to put this ball into the opponent''s door accurately.


    When he was thinking about getting up, someone squeezed his position from behind and shoved the ball to Schmeichel.


    The Lion Cave Stadium sighed and fans shook their heads silently in the stands.


    You think too much!


    Just shoot a kick, it doesn''t matter if you can''t shoot!


    Fanny stabilized his body after losing the ball, and turned his head to look at it. The person who steals him is not Stam, but a person that everyone can''t think of: Solskjaer.


    The other Manchester United players gave up. Stam, who was the closest to the ball, was rushed by Fanny when he was in a hurry. After pulling away, he looked at his door numbly.


    But one person did not give up. Baby-faced Solskjaer, from the moment Manchester United failed to attack, he desperately returned to the defense. When Fanny took the ball, he had ran close to the midline position. As long as Fanny played normally, It was impossible to give Solskjaer a chance to steal the ball from behind, but his brain suddenly crashed and missed the chance of a hat trick.


    Aldridge applauded on the sidelines, his applause was given to Solskjaer, the game can be lost, the will can not collapse!


    But Solskjaer''s defense only allowed Manchester United to avoid the fourth goal drop.


    When Schmeichel drove the ball to the frontcourt and was headed back by Lampard, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game.


    "At the end of the game, Millwall beat Manchester United 3-1 at home. In the first round of the league, they met at Old Trafford. Millwall lost to Manchester United 2:4, but ended after half a season. In the battle, Millwall also beat Manchester United by the same two goals, and this defeat was a huge blow for Manchester United. The game at Villa Park Stadium was over. Aston Villa defeated leader Arsenal 1-0 at home. , Manchester United actually only need a draw to win the championship trophy, but they failed to achieve, this season Manchester United are all empty, the closest league champion also dreamed of breaking the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium. Aldrich Hall¡¯s team after defeating Manchester United The score is the same as the opponent, but the goal difference is at a disadvantage, so they are ranked third. They are just like Manchester United, only 1 point behind the Premier League new Arsenal. In the third season of the Premier League, Millwall refreshed the league ranking. The new low record, they only won the league third, the first year is the runner-up, the second year is the championship, huh, Hall¡¯s team is in danger, because if they can not beat Real Madrid in the Champions League final to win the championship, then next season, they Will miss the Champions League game, this may be the punishment for him, who makes him a man who the Premier League coach doesn¡¯t like. In the past three years, Millwall has won the championship or snatched the championship. Aspirations, both Newcastle United and Manchester United have suffered from him, but Manchester United should at least remember that if it was not Hall that defeated Newcastle United two years ago, they may not be able to achieve a major reversal to win the championship. 97/98 season The 380 games of the Premier League are all over. Congratulations to Arsenal. The French Wenger has fulfilled his promise. He has made Arsenal a new look. The giants who once ruled England¡¯s football revisit the championship dream. This is a good phenomenon. I believe that the Premier League next season The championship will be fiercer. If Liverpool can work harder, the Premier League will undoubtedly become very exciting. Friends, we look forward to the Premier League next season together, and also wish England''s French World Cup trip to achieve good results. "


    After the game, Aldridge went to shake hands with Ferguson. The old Scottish man shook hands with him and left.


    The copy of the Premier League trophy was also taken away.


    The FA really thanked Millwall for scoring Manchester United at home.


    Although the Premier League trophy at the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium is a replica, it¡¯s harmless.


    But those important figures in the FA Football Awards guests all went to the Vera Park Stadium, and no one expected that Arsenal would be sparse on the road. If Manchester United really draws Millwall or reverses, the FA will fall into a very high level. In the embarrassing situation, at least the guests who gave Manchester United awards were some people with insufficient weight.


    Manchester United players quickly left the court and walked into the player''s passage, Neville kicked the wall unwillingly...


    Aldridge raised his hands above the head and applauded on the court, then walked to each grandstand to make a gesture of gratitude to the fans.


    The players are also thanking the fans and leaving early. Their season is not over yet and everything has to be done step by step.


    There was nothing to say at the press conference after the game, but a reporter asked mischievously: "Manchester United and Arsenal, Millwall would like to see Arsenal win?"


    Aldrich replied without thinking: "I would like to see Millwall win the championship."


    "But Millwall had no chance of winning."


    "Then what do you mean, should we give water to Manchester United?"


    "..."


    The Fleet Street reporters sneered at the mirror man.


    Millwall hasn''t put water yet?


    All of them are on the bench, and the main one is not on. How do you want to release the water?


    People want to play in the Champions League final, fearing that Manchester United will kill their eyes and avoid injury to the main players, but also to recuperate. Everyone understands that Manchester United did not take down the game and has nothing to do with Millwall, that is, the forward is not awesome. The field provided enough firepower support, but the striker could not grasp the opportunity, this is his own problem.


    After the press conference, Aldridge drove home.


    Back home to sit on the sofa and take a rest, took out his phone and sent Wenger a congratulatory message.


    After sending the text message, he threw the phone aside. He lay on the couch and turned on the TV, but his eyes were out of focus.


    The performance of the team throughout the season came to mind.


    He needs to summarize and reflect.


    Millwall''s four-line battle this season, the overall number of games is similar to last season, and the performance on the basis of rotation is not bad. The key reasons for the defeat of the defending are two. One is that various teams use the bus to snipe Millwall. The second is that the strategy of "playing weakly with weakness" ended in failure in the first half of the season, and lost many points that should not be lost.


    When he was thinking, the phone suddenly shook. It was a text message. He thought Wenger sent him a text message. He picked it up and saw it. It was not at all. Wenger estimated that he would celebrate with the players.


    The text message was sent by Moyes. He led Preston to have a new look in the second half of the season. At the end of the first half, Preston fell into the relegation zone. In the second half of the season, under the leadership of Moyes, the rushing storm led not only to get rid of the relegation zone early At the end of the season, he reached the upgrade playoffs. Several of his players on loan were very good in Preston. Moyes invited Aldridge to watch the ball on the spot to see them. Competition finals.


    Aldrich thought about it, or politely refused the other party, refusing the invitation on the grounds of preparing for the Champions League.


    Multiple friends and multiple paths, especially having a good relationship with other club head coaches, will help Millwall''s future outsourced players to exercise.


    Premier League season reviews began to be broadcast on TV. Arsenal winning the championship is the focus. Chelsea is second only to Arsenal. Chelsea, ranked fifth in the league, has made a huge leap this season. The Cup also broke into the final.


    As for Manchester United and Millwall, they all belong to the lamented role. The numb thing is Liverpool. Every year, it is like this, very stable ranked third or fourth in the league...


    The number of goals scored by Premier League goalscorer King has reached a new low this year. With 18 goals, they can get the golden boot. Blowout has four people to win the prize. Although Larson is tied with the other three, it is also regarded as the defending golden boot. The other three Those who scored 18 goals were Dubring, Sutton, Irving!


    In the selection of individual awards, Millwall is relatively bleak this year, except for Larsen''s golden boots.


    Dingdong!


    Doorbell rang.


    Aldridge got up to open the door, Yi Wenqiao appeared at the door with a smile, smiled: "Did you eat?"


    Aldridge nodded, not interested.


    Yiwen walked in and said, "I called the restaurant to deliver the meal. Wait, you can eat in an hour."


    Aldridge looked at the clock on the wall and asked strangely: "How do you know I haven''t eaten at this time?"


    "Because you can''t eat, there is something in your heart."


    Aldridge leaned his arms around the wall with his arms clasped and asked, "What''s the matter?"


    "The team will be in the Champions League next season."


    Aldridge shook her head helplessly, which really made her guess.


    Millwall only ranks third in the league. If the Champions League cannot win the championship, they will go to the UEFA Cup next season, which will undoubtedly make Millwall''s player''s confidence greatly.


    "Hey, don''t think about it, wait for dinner, Brady and they told us to go out and drink at night."


    Aldridge sat down, temporarily throwing away his troubles, and made a joke: "I hope to go out to drink at night and don¡¯t run into Arsenal fans."


    Yi Wenman didn''t care: "It''s better to meet a few, I especially want to see how Arsenal fans are proud."


    Aldridge said with a strange expression: "What kind of mentality is this?"


    "It''s a normal mentality. I don''t know what day Arsenal won the parade. It''s better to be later, after the 20th."


    "Rely, don''t lose your character?"


    "What do you mean?"


    "Guess yourself."


    Chatting with Yiwen while waiting for dinner, Aldridge quickly adjusted his mood. He knew that in the face of the Champions League final, all factors outside the game should not become his own troubles, otherwise it will not be conducive to the team¡¯s preparation and the game. Play.


    The rest of the teams are on holiday, but all three teams in London are still in a state of intense preparation.


    Arsenal will play in the FA Cup final.


    Chelsea will play in the European Cup Winners'' Cup final.


    Millwall is going to play in the UEFA Champions League final.


    London has become the centre of English football this season!

 Chapter 320： Dating with lover

    The morning after the Premier League ended, the Leo Training Base and Millwall returned to the training ground to start training. Media reporters from various European countries watched on the sidelines.


    This open-to-media training session lasts for four days, open in the morning and prohibited in the afternoon.


    In addition to the propaganda to warm up the Champions League final, it was also a signal that Aldridge actively released to the outside world.


    The outside reporters will have spying information for each game, want to get the starting list, tactical formation arrangement, team''s attitude to the game and so on.


    These can be seen from the training, but may not be correct.


    Is Millwall spending more time on offense or defense? Is it to increase the positioning ball or strengthen the penalty training?


    In fact, the training effect at this stage will not be too great, mainly to adjust the player''s state and maintain feeling.


    It¡¯s unwise to really want to attack a rival by re-engaging a set of magical tactics in less than half a month, and Aldridge has no reason to give up the inherently mature technical and tactical play to find another way.


    The players are very relaxed on the training ground today. Everyone talks and laughs. There is no intensity in the training. More is to reduce stress through some small games.


    Aldrich also participated in the game of walking the monkey with the players. He could not grab the ball for a long time. He was turned around by the players. Not only did the players laugh forward and backward, the reporters on the sidelines also found this scene very interesting. Released into the press.


    During these four days, Millwall practiced a penalty kick every morning, and did not play in the match, just to keep the players'' sense of ball through ordinary football games.


    When the reporters studied the content of Millwall''s training, the news immediately revealed: Millwall will definitely play very conservatively in the Champions League final. Using defensive counterattack tactics, even if he can''t break the opponent''s door, as long as he does not drop the ball , Their penalty kicks will come in handy.


    Fleet Street focuses on two teams in London are about to make it to the European finals. Chelsea have the English team on the final stage again after Millwall won the European Cup Winners'' Cup last year. This makes Fleet Street very proud and makes Chelsea boss Bay Ci exhaled and raised his eyebrows, but the greater limelight was on the side of Millwall, there is no way, who will let this dead enemy want to play in the Champions League final!


    "The Times" made a special report on the Champions League and published an article: The trajectory of miracles is repeated!


    It is hard to believe that David Miller wrote this large-scale article with the suspicion of the title party.


    But he really wrote the headlines and listed many seemingly convincing arguments.


    Last year, Millwall set foot on the European Cup of Winners for the first time, and finally broke into the final to win the championship.


    This year, Millwall entered the final for the first time in the European Champions Cup, and the result is temporarily unknown.


    Last year, the French team was eliminated in the semifinals.


    This year, the French team still eliminated the semi-finals.


    Last year, Millwall faced La Liga giants Barcelona in the final.


    This year, it is facing another La Liga giant: Real Madrid.


    Last year Barcelona had just experienced a national derby before playing the final.


    Real Madrid has only five days before the final this year, and Real Madrid still hopes to compete for the runner-up in the league. Therefore, on the day of the La Liga finale on May 15, Real Madrid may not choose to stay in order to ensure the qualification of the Champions League next season. .


    At the end of La Liga 37 rounds, Real Madrid ranked fourth in the league. The championship was won by Barcelona a few rounds in advance, and Real Madrid scored evenly with Valencia, 2 points behind second place Bilbao and closed in the final round. In the official battle, there is still the possibility of boarding the runner-up.


    The last argument to replicate last year''s trajectory is: Millwall''s final last year was to Rotterdam, the Netherlands, this year''s Champions League final, or to the Netherlands!


    Not to mention, this media analysis immediately felt that Millwall was destined to increase the probability of holding the cup.


    This is pure nonsense, but from the side, Millwall can also step onto the final stage with confidence.


    The Premier League ended a week earlier than Serie A and La Liga, so Aldridge''s preparation time is more than that of Real Madrid, and when other mainstream leagues come to an end, annoying things are coming.


    The major teams in Serie A and La Liga are very interested in Millwall players. If you want to make a list of players who have sincere purchases from the buying club, huh, Millwall estimates that there is only one head coach and five or six bench players left.


    Aldrich sent a message to other clubs through Andrew: Before the World Cup ended, Millwall¡¯s transfer door was closed!


    The World Cup is a stage for players to increase their value. No team will do business in advance in the competition year, unless the player misses the competition and there is no fluctuation in the price.


    Four days before the Champions League final, Millwall held a press conference before the expedition. In addition to attending the UEFA press conference before the Champions League final, Aldridge also gave the Fleet a face before the battle.


    The press conference was full and Aldridge greeted reporters in sportswear with smiles and acquaintances. Everyone was very relaxed. At least at this moment, Fleet Street was definitely on the side of Millwall.


    In recent days, media reporters who have a good relationship with Aldrich have been sending him news.


    For example, who did Real Madrid close in the battle, not who.


    How is the weather in the Netherlands.


    Turf situation at the final venue in Amsterdam.


    Real Madrid''s data analysis of La Liga and Champions League this season, who is the most threatened and where is the weak link of the defense.


    Aldridge is very grateful to these media friends, some of the data is really not collected by the scouts sent by the club.


    "Let''s talk about Millwall first. Recently, you practiced penalties every day. Are you planning to go to the penalty shootout in the final?"


    The reporters at the scene laughed, everyone knows that this question is ridiculous, and no one really thinks it is running against Millwall.


    Aldrichto smiled with his chin: "The penalty kick is only part of our preparations. As the head coach, it is necessary to prepare for the possible situations in the finals in advance. There may not be a penalty shootout, but no one can be sure for 90 minutes. Or we can score the victory or defeat within 120 minutes, we just take the penalty as a link in the training, well prepared. The team is in good shape, the players are eager to win this championship, and they firmly believe that we will win the cup, they can¡¯t wait. It''s going to be desperate with Real Madrid."


    "Millwall played in the Champions League this season. From the start of the group stage to the finals, he played a total of 10 games. 8 wins and 2 draws remained undefeated. However, there is still a certain gap between the team''s technical and tactical skills and the Premier League. Obviously conservative, there are some voices outside the world, thinking that Millwall will only play defensive counterattacks in the Champions League. On the day of the finals, will it be mainly defensive counterattacks?"


    Aldridge laughed: "Well, defensive counterattack, since we can achieve 8 wins and 2 draws undefeated with one tactic, then in the final, we have no reason to change a successful technical and tactical play, I emphasized Many times, I never care how others view Millwall¡¯s tactical play. Some people like it, some people don¡¯t like it. It¡¯s impossible to cater to everyone no matter how the team¡¯s tactics change."


    The reporters nodded frequently and heard Aldridge''s words, as they had previously predicted: defensive counterattack.


    All ball critics also think that Millwall is best to play their defensive counterattack in the Champions League.


    The game is mature, and the defense is solid. In the final, a victory or defeat is played. Real Madrid, which has always been pursuing a gorgeous offensive, does not strengthen the defense?


    "What do you think of Real Madrid?"


    Faced with this problem, Aldridge opened his palm and asked, "Is it important?"


    "of course."


    "Well, Real Madrid''s reputation and status need not be repeated. One thing I want to mention is that Real Madrid''s desire for championship trophies may exceed Millwall in a sense. I am not talking about Millwall players. Don''t care about the championship trophy. But think about it, Millwall can enter the final, people applaud Millwall, even if Millwall is the runner-up, there will be many people applauding. But Real Madrid is different, they have been waiting for 32 years For them, this final is not to win the trophy, but to regain the trophy that the club has been away for 32 years, to get back the glory that should belong to them from the depths of their hearts, so they not only desire, but also There is still a lot of pressure, which turns into motivation. This obsession will be extremely powerful in the game!"


    "So how should Millwall respond?"


    "I tried to make the players face the final with a more relaxed mind, so I called this final a date with a lover in the team."


    As soon as Aldridge''s words fell, the audience froze.


    Dating with a lover?


    Is this humiliating Real Madrid?


    Seeing the reactions of the reporters, Aldridge suddenly froze for a second, and immediately asked, "Is my football history wrong? Is Real Madrid not a Champions League lover?"


    "Oh¡­¡­"


    The reporters suddenly realized.


    Speaking of this Champions League lover, Real Madrid won the five consecutive Champions League reputation in one breath.


    It¡¯s just that there is a 32-year-old era without Champions League champions. The time span is too long. Real Madrid only reached the finals once and lost the match. The reporters on the scene almost didn¡¯t remember Real Madrid for the first time. Wearing the nickname of the Champions League lover.


    "This Champions League lover has been left out for 32 years..."


    A reporter joked that there was a burst of laughter at the scene.


    Everyone thinks that Aldridge¡¯s coaching idea is really unique. He needs to decompress the players in the battle, but you can¡¯t help mentioning the finals. An alternative way to smile at the corner of your mouth.


    "I heard that Puskas will also watch the game, right? Does he support Millwall or Real Madrid?"


    Aldrich has always avoided talking about Puskas in the public, because it will make people feel that he is playing Puskas''s sign to increase his influence.


    But it''s okay to mention it today, anyway, he has no doubts.


    "Yes, he will go live to watch the game. At the same time, the club also helped him contact an old friend. They will meet again in Amsterdam after many years to watch this Champions League final together."


    The reporters looked at each other, listening to Aldridge''s words, it seemed that the man had a big head.


    "Can you tell who the Puskas friend is?"


    Aldridge smiled curiously: "Can''t guess? Uh, give a hint, he is afraid of flying."


    The reporter from the audience immediately excitedly said: "Di Stefano?!"


    Aldridge nodded.


    The reporters really didn''t expect that in the future finals, there will be two such classic football legends to watch the game on the spot, and they are also a pair of best friends and friends who have absolutely legendary stories like Puskas + Stefano.


    However, they frowned again.


    "The two legendary Real Madrid stars went to the field to watch the ball. Does this have any effect on Millwall''s morale? Stefano must be inclined to support Real Madrid, Puskas?"


    Aldrich shook his head and said, "I don''t know, I didn''t ask, I don''t think it matters. I just hope they can enjoy the game together."


    The reporters on Fleet Street were satisfied. Today, they got a lot of news. There are heavy and interesting news. No matter how good it is, before the Champions League final, they had an appetizer.

 Chapter 321： On the go

    Before leaving for Holland, Aldridge passed a special ceremony when he left home. Arthur firmly asked the whole family to go to the church together. In the deserted church, Arthur, who had a big belly, knelt down under the statue of **** and shut his eyes religiously. prayer.


    The family has a tradition of faith, but it has not reached a point of fanaticism. Aldrich is drifting with the waves, and occasionally walks through the field with his family. There is not much consciousness in the heart.


    Parents hugged him one after another, kissed him on his forehead, his eldest brother also hugged him, and even his nephew Bowen wanted to hug Aldridge seriously.


    After a prayer ceremony like sending Aldridge to the battlefield, Aldridge led his team to Amsterdam, the Netherlands three days in advance.


    During this year, Millwall really had a fate with the Netherlands. He came here last year to play the finals. He visited Eindhoven in the second half of the year. Now he visits the Netherlands again. He comes here three times a year. The probability is really not high.


    But this is good. The players will not be strangers to the Netherlands. The neutral fans here are also familiar with them. When they got off the plane and walked out of the airport, the enthusiastic fans who greeted them this year more than tripled their momentum last year.


    Their plan is similar to the past. The first day off, the whole team can go sightseeing in the city, as long as it is not to go to the red light district to play in person, hi other, casually.


    Stepping on the field training the next day, taking a half-day rest on the third day, and then preparing for the final.


    When Real Madrid came to Amsterdam one step later, it completely detonated the enthusiasm of football in the whole city. The focus of Europe was on this water city, and the peak battle was on the verge!


    May 20, Amsterdam Arena.


    The Champions League final is about to be staged. Millwall and Real Madrid fans are the main spectators in the stadium. Real Madrid has a larger number of fans because their fan base is more rich and they can spend a lot of money from neutral fans. Bought tickets.


    The colors on the stands are clear at a glance. Real Madrid''s traditional noble and elegant white and Millwall''s traditional loyalty and dignity are incarnation of blue.


    Although blue has the symbolic meaning of nobility in Europe, Millwall clearly has no connection with the nobility. Their blue represents loyalty and dignity.


    There are pre-final entertainment programs for fans to enjoy. The live camera is also capturing the focus. The fans of the two teams waving flags on the stands, cheering slogans, and some famous people who came to the scene, including in the box, The warm embrace of Stefano and Puskas became the most notable scene before the final.


    Real Madrid President Sanz also came to the scene to watch the game, he was more depressed, because Puskas and Stefano as Real Madrid''s legendary superstars, one is one of the immobile spectators in the stands of Millwall''s home game day, the other The one who appeared here was also invited by Millwall, and it seemed to have nothing to do with Real Madrid. This came from the vigorous promotion of Fleet Street before the game. The heavy news of "Legend Reunited" was used to increase sales. Madrid became very passive.


    When everything went in an orderly manner, everyone looked forward to the moment the finals started, and in the locker room, Audric was doing the final pre-war mobilization.


    The players were unharmed and disease-free, and Millwall attacked with the strongest team.


    Aldrich stood in front of the players and said seriously: "The outside media said that today''s final is me. Aldrich Hall becomes a legendary milestone. As long as I win the championship, I will become one of the legendary football coaches. I will not deny this statement, but I don¡¯t think that if I lose the game today, then I will become worthless. I still have 20, 30, 40, 50 years to fight. I firmly believe that I will become a legend. However, for you, your career will not have another 20 years, 30 years... European Championship finals, the highest honor of the club state competition, I will not tell you: your life Maybe this is the only chance to play in the finals, that is impossible! We are already extremely strong. In the future, we will be the champions. I have such self-confidence, and you should have it too. But you should cherish your career, In such a final, playing one game, missing one game, missed, lost, certainly not as good as winning, standing on the podium, holding up the trophy like glory. Whether I can become a legend is not important, before 40 years old, 50 If I was unsuccessful before the age of 20, I can still fight for another 20 years, but you don¡¯t have such a long career, you reach the finals and tell yourself: Win it, win with no regrets!"


    After Aldridge finished speaking, he turned and opened the locker door to leave.


    In the locker room, the three captains took the lead to boost morale. They all waited for the day to wait and see, and there was no reason for stage fright at this time.


    When Aldridge walked out of the player channel and came to the sidelines, the live broadcast shot was directed at him, and countless reporters around him also took pictures of him. The handsome coach looked calm and looked at the Real Madrid coach seat and found that the other coach was still Did not come out, it is estimated that speaking time in the dressing room is longer.


    After a period of time, Real Madrid players appeared in the player channel, lined up with Millwall players, almost all of them were strangers, and there was no communication before the game. Soldiers about to step on the battlefield.


    Real Madrid¡¯s coaching staff also came out, and Aldridge was waiting outside for the coach of the opponent: Heinkes.


    Heinkes led Real Madrid to a mess in the league this season. The final result was the same as Millwall. They failed to get the top two in the league. The qualification for the Champions League next season was suspended, and Real Madrid ranked third in the league.


    However, both teams reached the Champions League final historically. Millwall is the first time and Real Madrid is back from the final stage after many years.


    Heinkes spent most of his career in coaching with many other famous coaches. He has coached many teams, and there are only a few of them. Before coaching Real Madrid, the most famous team he coached was Bayern Munich. Once being watched by the giants, they were favored by coaching the small team to achieve a breakthrough outstanding record.


    His achievements came over step by step, Aldridge respected each other very much.


    Before the game started, Aldridge shook hands with each other and expressed admiration in person. After the pleasant and friendly conversation, the two walked back to their respective coaches and stood still.


    Under the leadership of the referee team, both players stood up and walked into the court.


    "The 97/98 season UEFA Champions League final is about to start. The two teams that came to the finals this season are Millwall from England and Real Madrid from Spain. I believe that the audience who follow this game already know that Mill Wall was the first time in history to enter the Champions League and reached the finals. They were only the last victory away from replicating the miracle of Nottingham Forest. Real Madrid was far away from the Champions League for 32 years, which gave Real Madrid the Champions League The name of the king is not true. They won the most championships, but failed to achieve convincing results on this stage in 32 years. The best time was the runner-up, defeated by the then European king Liverpool. No matter who wins the cup today, they will Is a champion with special significance."


    When the Champions League theme song was played in the stadium, the starting lineup of both sides was also introduced to the audience by the commentators.


    Millwall started 433.


    Goalkeeper: Bute


    Guards: Schneider, Elgra, Southgate, Capdevila Midfielders: Makelele, Pirlo, Nedved


    Forwards: Shevchenko, Trezeguet, Larson


    Real Madrid starting 442


    Goalkeeper: Ilgena


    Guards: Panucci, Sanchis, Hierro, Carlos


    Midfielders: Calumb, Redondo, Seedorf, Raul


    Forwards: Mijatovic, Morientes


    Millwall''s starting lineup today is not unexpected, as to whether it is 433 or 4231, this must be analyzed according to the posture in the game.


    Real Madrid''s players are no strangers.


    To say that Aldridge most admires Real Madrid, it is their goalkeeper.


    Igna started today, with a Canizares sitting on the bench and Casillas in the lower echelon.


    As for Real Madrid players in other positions, Aldridge does not think that Millwall is worse than the opponent, or that in a suitable tactical system, even if Real Madrid players are stronger, they may not be able to play well in Millwall. .


    Real Madrid''s midfield today is a small diamond-shaped position, a red midfielder, synonymous with elegance.


    Seedorf, Karenbu is a midfielder, he can pull the edge, he can attack and defend well, and his midfielder is Raul. He is more like a nine and a half. He can pass and shoot. He played a double 20+ season under Capello. Horror data.


    Last season''s partners Mijatovi? and Suk were taken apart. Suk, who can play the violin on his left foot, seems to be incompatible with Heyncks. Haishuai prefers high centers like Morientes. Has a high degree of hardness, can take the ball can be a fulcrum, forward skills and speed are not bad.


    Aldrich stared at Sanchis slightly, this is a Real Madrid legend. Not only did he finally play for Real Madrid, his father also has a long history of playing in Real Madrid, and the Sanchis family is a myth in Real Madrid¡¯s history.


    Aldridge was envious, not knowing when Millwall would have such a legend.


    Real Madrid, Barcelona, ??these two teams are the most admired in Aldridge''s heart!


    The first admiration is that they maintain the traditional nature of the club, not for profit, even if Real Madrid embarked on the road of international commercialization, but it is never a purpose for private profit, and members do not expect the club to pay dividends from the club at the end of the season. To make a lot of money is to enrich the team''s strength and give the fans the most advanced football enjoyment. This should have been the public welfare nature of the traditional clubs. When other rich clubs were either reduced to private property or became money-making machines, Real Madrid and Barcelona became A special case of the Jinyuan football era.


    Second admire these two giants can toss!


    They can dismiss the best coaches, dismantle the best team lineups, and overthrow development strategies that prove to be right...


    In short, the football world may find one or two teams to do such self-destruction of the Great Wall, it is not difficult to find, everyone is dizzy.


    However, if you want to say which team can do this repeatedly in the long history, to go over the history of Barcelona and Real Madrid, this has the answer.


    The presidential election alone means that the team will be turned upside down. The phenomenon of the emperor and the courtiers is more vivid than any other club. With the pressure of fans, the support of members¡¯ votes, etc., the club has a gap of three to five. When the news of the turmoil came, it seemed strange.


    Aldridge regrets that although Heinks is a good coach, from his personal point of view, he would like to touch Capello''s Real Madrid.


    Last season, Real Madrid, who won the La Liga against Barcelona in the La Liga!


    Unfortunately Capello couldn''t stand the accusation of Real Madrid fans and left the coach.


    Aldridge regrets, maybe Real Madrid fans are more regretful, if Capello is still there, Real Madrid may not be thrown away by Barcelona so far in the league.

 Chapter 322： happy Birthday

    Real Madrid kicked off in the first half. Although there were many Real Madrid fans in the court, there were more fans of Millwall, but under the coordination of the leaders of the various fan groups, from the beginning of the game, they Just sing Millwall''s songs repeatedly, especially the climax part, and repeat it endlessly: Millwall, rushing!


    Millwall rushed, really rushed.


    Unexpectedly, the defensive counter-attack tactics that have been emphasized, rendered, and disseminated before the game have gone to hell!


    In Aldridge¡¯s memory, the final result of this final in history was Real Madrid¡¯s one goal victory over Juventus, and the goal that appeared, although it was suspected of being offside, the way it appeared was the two-point attack. That is to say, in the frontal attack, neither Real Madrid nor Juventus have a great opportunity, unlike in the history of Bayern who completely kneeled the goal post beam in the final next year.


    It''s understandable to play conservatively in the finals, especially when Real Madrid meets Juventus, a team that defies counterattacks against Italy as if it were a commonplace team.


    Millwall can play a defensive counterattack, but Aldridge doesn''t want to fight that way.


    Real Madrid''s offensive line is gorgeous. Not only are all the abilities in the midfield and frontcourt super, but even the full-backs have Carlos'' perversion of one side.


    But Real Madrid¡¯s defense is not necessarily very good. They changed from the defensive record of only 32 goals in 42 leagues when Capello coached last season to the record of 45 goals lost in 38 leagues this season. Obviously , Their defense is not particularly good.


    Therefore, if Millwall plays a defensive counterattack and does not press up, the offensive investment is small, and Real Madrid''s back line is estimated to be happy.


    Millwall will play full attack and defense today!


    This is not the most secure tactic, there is no tactic of winning, but Aldridge chose the former between the offensive and defensive counterattacks, thinking that the former has a higher chance of bringing a championship.


    After the opening, Millwall''s oppressive offense and defense surprised Real Madrid players.


    If the opponent is so fierce and aggressive, is not afraid of being counterattacked?


    afraid? Afraid to be useful?


    When the narrow road meets the brave one wins today, he is desperate to fight today!


    Millwall has taken the initiative since the opening, relying on Pirlo scheduling in the midfield when attacking, and the full-backs plug in at the right time. They play as a team with the whole team. Due to the delay in the organization area, Real Madrid has concerns about blocking the starting point of the attack. Pressing the defensive line forward makes it easy for the three lines to stretch the distance to give the opponent a chance to break through.


    In the fourth minute just after the opening, Pirlo passed straight to the left, Capdevila went directly to the ball in front of Karenbu and forced a breakthrough. When he went side by side with the opponent, the ball was distributed to Nedved, who was on the side. After Vader took the ball and waited for Redondo to press it over, he returned the ball. Makelele received the ball, Raul was about to get close, and the ball was returned to Pirlo.


    Pirlo made a sublime pass after the ball was stopped. The ball passed directly to Real Madrid''s penalty area. Trezeguet retreated. Redondo was attracted by Nedved just now, making the middle pass empty. Wide open.


    Larson''s diagonal insertion of the ribs made Yerola sound the alarm, and Trezeguet went straight to the side, but Larson ran past, is it a pass error?


    of course not!


    The ball rolled over from behind Larson. Nedvide inserted it in time. After the ball entered the penalty area, he volleyed at a 45-degree angle. Igna did not dare to neglect and directly blocked the ball from the bottom line.


    The corner kick did not wait for Pirlo to run, Larson ran over and chose to open fast, not giving Real Madrid a chance to completely set up a defensive formation. Capdevila took a ball and stopped after a rhythm, then suddenly kicked In the pass, Shevchenko nodded the ball afterwards. Although the ball was deviated, it still won the applause of fans on the scene.


    "Today Millwall entered the game very quickly since the opening. No one expected that Millwall, who advanced all the way to the final with a defensive counterattack, would actually press Real Madrid in the final! Maybe? This is Hall¡¯s gambling, and I don¡¯t know what the result will be.¡±


    Under such circumstances, Real Madrid will certainly have to fight back against Millwall.


    Every time after a successful transfer from the defender, they immediately organized a quick counterattack. Two minutes later, Redondo received a ball from Yero and turned around to make a long pass. He was looking for Raul in front.


    However, Raul failed to receive the ball, but was first caught by Makelele to catch the ball''s landing position and the header passed the ball to Schneider on the wing.


    Redondo''s midfielder has accurate interception predictions and elegant steals. What''s more sharp is that he has an excellent overall view, and occasionally sends an ecstasy to the striker.


    Faced with this role, Millwall is no stranger, at least when playing Barcelona, ??Guardiola is such a similar role.


    Whenever Millwall''s offense ended, Trezeguet would go to Redondo for the first time. No matter whether the ball passed to Redondo, he would have to interfere with each other, and Nedvide would go faster. Run back and drag in front of Seedorf and Kalumb''s forward line.


    Pirlo and Makelele formed a pair of midfielders while defending, preventing the opposing midfielder from marching.


    Millwall relied on the overall forward pressure to play with the flow of water and flow. The opponent had at most 7 defenders in the second half, while Millwall and the full-backs who came up with unilateral assists, there were 6 offensive, although the number was different by one. However, in order to maintain a static and reasonable defensive formation, Real Madrid fell into a passive situation in the face of Millwall''s offensive players concentrated and strong.


    In the 9th minute, Larson crossed with Trezegue in front of the penalty area. He made a hole in the defense of Hierro and Sanchez. Trezeguet got a shot in the left rib of the penalty area from Ned. Vader''s goal came straight, but Trezeguet''s goal was definitely blocked by Ilgener.


    In the 13th minute, Capdevila made an oblique long pass. Shevchenko took the ball and made an in-cut and then pulled out of the penalty area. Nedved pressed into the penalty area and took Redondo away. Pirlo assisted to take the assist. Fuchenko''s return pass was a long shot slightly higher than the beam.


    Two minutes later, Schneider''s 45-degree cross, Larson nodded a header to the goal, the ball hanged to the back point, Igna surrendered, seeing this ball must enter, but Sanchez rescued the ball in front of the goal Push the bottom line.


    Real Madrid was completely beaten in the first 20 minutes.


    They threatened to pass the ball directly from the defender and could not pass the Makelele level. If they stabilized the rhythm and slowly moved forward, Millwall returned to the defense in a layered manner and then furiously snatched it, causing them to quickly lose. Ball right.


    Aldridge watched the turbulent offense on the sidelines without scoring goals, and said in his heart that it was not pity that it was false.


    The 11 players on the field, with a short period of three years and a long period of four years, have been fully tuned and shaped, and their technical and tactical play has reached a great success. Coupled with the maturity of their physical and technical characteristics, their team has become impeccable.


    But this does not mean that this team is invincible in the world, but within their ability, they have reached the peak. If there are any deficiencies and what can be improved, then only have time to let them accumulate more Multi-experience, from mature to spicy, from a brave lion to an impenetrable old demon.


    Millwall is to play all their advantages today.


    The perfect physical strength required for full attack and full defense, the team''s tacit understanding and proficient technical ability to control, at least in these two aspects, Audridge believes that Millwall is definitely above Real Madrid!


    The fans in the stands did not sigh for the team¡¯s shots again and again, but after each sigh, waves of applause rang from the stands. The fans in the stands all watched the game and saw the team¡¯s fighting spirit today. With courage, they are extremely proud.


    Today, Millwall and Real Madrid were evenly divided in their championship predictions, but the scene fell to one side after the opening.


    Millwall''s overall advancement has reached an amazing degree. Even when facing a team of Real Madrid level, their goal kicked out, the players swapped positions, and the game was brought into a Real Madrid. Players are at a loss in rhythm.


    Passing fast, clear running position, threatening the ball frequently.


    With Millwall''s unremitting efforts, in the 24th minute of the game, they played an exquisite cooperation.


    After Nedved and Pirlo exchanged two passes, Pirlo distributed the ball to the inserted Capdevila, and then Pirlo inserted, Nedved directly rushed to the hinterland of the penalty area.


    Capdevila crossed the middle and Pirlo was clearly able to take the ball on the ball¡¯s rolling path. Redondo was also ready to steal him, but Pirlo missed the ball and Shevchenko retreated on the other side unexpectedly Facing the ball straight, Trezeguet and Larsen crossed again to run. Larsen slanted from the left to the right. He and Trezeguet made Real Madrid''s back line dizzy while Larsen Faced with a straight ball, after a forcible turn, he vigorously passed the goal behind the goal. Seeing his action, almost everyone thought he was shooting!


    However, when the ball rolled behind the goal, Nedved easily pushed the ball into Real Madrid''s goal.


    "Millwall scored a goal! Nedvide helped the team to open the record. His goal came from Larsson''s assist. The two Millwall stars completed a subtle cooperation, but enjoyed the goal from beginning to end. , Millwall left a classic team with the goal in the Champions League final! Pirlo, Nedvide, Capdevila, Shevchenko, Larsen, five pass a few times, special Although Rezeguet had not touched the ball, his running position attracted defensive attention. Shevchenko penetrated the opponent''s defense. Larsson made a surprise cross, but Nedved was not surprised. It can be seen from the beginning of his running position that he consciously outstriped the goal and the ball arrived as expected! This goal is never tire of!"


    On the stands of the Amsterdam Arena stadium, the crazy lion fans jumped up and down, excited about the goal. The fans on the sidelines even hoped that Nedvide ran over to celebrate quickly, and they wanted to cheer for the hero from close range.


    However, after scoring, Nedved ran to the coach''s seat, and at the same time, he beckoned to his teammates on the road, and everyone followed his footsteps and ran towards this side.


    Aldridge was ready to hug and celebrate with the players, but Nedved they slowed down on the sidelines.


    Jenson rushed out from behind Aldridge and threw a jersey to Nedved.


    Nedved took up the jersey and held it high, showing the back to Aldridge.


    It is a number 22 jersey with the name above: Audrey Hall.


    There are two English words below the number: HappyBirthday!


    Millwall''s starting 11 and the players on the bench clearly had a premeditated plan. They surrounded Audric and yelled in unison: "Boss, happy birthday!"

 Chapter 323： concentrate

    Of course, Aldridge remembers his birthday, but he never happens to make a name for a celebration party, nor does he preach publicly, as if others don¡¯t know and don¡¯t bless him, he is very hard.


    Furthermore, on May 20th, it was the day of the Champions League final. At this time, the head coach jumped out and said, "Today is my birthday." Isn''t it all right to find something to distract the players?


    When the head coach Chrysostom opened, did the players and the colleagues around them pay attention or not?


    Not paying attention, will the impression score in the head coach''s mind plummet immediately?


    If you value it, how should you value it?


    Reasonably, Aldridge does not even want to let outsiders know that today is his birthday.


    Today, he received blessings from friends and family by phone, and that''s all. Three hours before the game, he was completely forgotten. Even when Nedved raised his jersey and the team wished him, he realized again : The birthday I just forgot is back.


    The disciples had this intention, Aldridge was so moved that he didn''t even know what to say, he could only hug each player.


    On the stand where Brady was, he smiled with arms around his chest, and the stand quickly attracted the attention of the live camera.


    Because the Roaring Fans organization used their traditional way to slogans on the stands.


    Several rows of fans turned around, and the extra large English letters formed words, which were arranged in an orderly manner to form a slogan.


    Aldrich Hall


    Legendary Master


    Having you equals happiness


    Tribute to you: happy birthday!


    On May 20, 1994, Aldridge returned to East London on his 18th birthday and received a birthday gift from his elder brother: Millwall Football Club in the Premier League.


    Four years later, on May 20, 1998, in the European Champions League final, Millwall now leads Real Madrid by one goal!


    "It turns out that today is Millwall coach Hall''s birthday. This is really a special moment. Millwall players congratulated him after scoring. Fans in the stands also showed blessing slogans. This is definitely The classic scene in the history of the Champions League final, the 22-year-old young coach, officially in charge of the team for four years, four years, giving others four years, what can he do? Aldridge has a team in the second level of English football The team reached the height of the UEFA Champions League final step by step in four years. Even after excluding the Community Shield and the European Super Cup, he still has 6 golden trophies. He is indeed young. We should not underestimate his coaching level as a young man. No one is qualified to question this. On this special day, we should also send our blessings: Aldrich Hall, happy birthday!"


    Aldridge was so embarrassed by the players that he rarely showed shyness under the command of the sidelines.


    After the celebration, the players encouraged each other, scoring a goal is only a temporary lead, their tactics will not change, this was emphasized by Odridge three times before the game, unless they can lead three goals!


    Even two goals ahead is not safe.


    Real Madrid tried to counterattack after losing the ball, but they found that the opposite Millwall had no intention of recycling. They still oppressed the attack and used their mercury-like team to threaten Real Madrid''s door again and again.


    Heinks frowned deeply on the sidelines.


    In fact, many teams have challenged Real Madrid for a few points, and they are all used to play against them.


    This kind of play can¡¯t be wrong, but it helped Real Madrid in disguise, because the opponent¡¯s weakness is defense. Once the pressure on their defense is not so great, then Real Madrid¡¯s attack will destroy the opponent like a Taishan pressure. This is a A tactical mistake.


    Millwall went the other way, oppressive offensive, Real Madrid wanted to defend, then it would invest more troops to defend, and in turn weakened their offensive.


    Since the opening today, Seedorf and Karenbu have barely played in any offense, because their absolute speed is not fast, when they are turned from defense to offense, their starting position is close to the penalty area. Choose forward dribbling, then Millwall''s overall retreat speed is faster than their dribbling speed, and then form a rush.


    But they played, because the front stretched, the pass success rate dropped, and Millwall defensive players were prepared to intercept.


    After losing the ball, the offense did not hit, and the defense was not stable. Real Madrid immediately withdrew across the board. First, the situation was stabilized to avoid being crushed by the opponent in one game period. No need to kick.


    As Real Madrid contracted, Millwall played around, Pirlo hit a long shot on the beam and flew out, and the fans in the stands gave a huge sigh.


    If this ball scored, it would be great!


    At this time, no one would think that Pirlo''s long shot hit the beam in the 31st minute, which became the mad start of Millwall''s game!


    Before the end of the first half, Millwall corner dangled into the penalty area. In a chaos, Trezeguet shot from a close range and was blocked by Yero. The ball hit his leg and flew towards the top of the goal. He hit the crossbar, bounced out and landed on the ground. He was held in the arms by Igna.


    The beam was twice.


    At halftime, Aldridge walked into the locker room to ask the status of the players. Today they played full attack and defense. The physical consumption was a severe test. They tried to solve the battle within 90 minutes. Real Madrid had no chance in the first half and was Mir. Wall''s opening stance was stunned. Without a timely and good response strategy, he was getting deeper and deeper. However, Heinkes will definitely make adjustments at halftime, and Millwall cannot face the panic in the second half. Of Real Madrid.


    In the second half, the two sides changed sides to fight again, and Millwall''s fighting spirit was more vigorous. It was still the rhythm of the first half, pressing Real Madrid to fight hard. The first attack received a strange effect. Larson and Shevchenko ran to the same On the one side, using a quick two-on-one anti-offside to successfully play a single-handed ball, Larson pushed the goal at the far corner, seeing Ilgner can only look at the ball, but the ball hit the goal post and flew out!


    At this time, the fans in the stands realized that this luck is too bad!


    In Mali Gobi, less than 50 minutes, two beams and one goal post, Millwall does not need much, only one can also rewrite the score to 2:0.


    Aldridge shook his head slightly with his hands on his hips.


    It''s hard to say that this is a factor of luck, because whether the ball is in or not is a scientific question of whether it will enter the goal range. Even if a strong wind blows the ball out of the door, the gust is not called by Real Madrid.


    Real Madrid can only play a defensive counterattack, and made a clear change in the second half. After changing from a defense to an attack, he no longer passes through the midfield, but is on the sidelines.


    Three minutes later, Nedv¨§d entered the penalty area to receive a header from Schneider''s side pass. Igna held the ball firmly, then ran to the penalty area line and threw the ball to the left. .


    Schneider had already withdrawn at full speed after the cross, but someone was faster than him, Brazil Carlos left foot Robert Carlos!


    He is faster, which is beyond doubt, especially when the attack is initiated, he does not need to stop the ball and move forward. Igna¡¯s hand throw is the empty space behind Schneider. Carlos accelerates along the side road. Shi Ned changed his route halfway through. He did not chase Carlos, but ran towards the ribs of his penalty area, intending to make Makelele block Carlos. After slowing down his opponent''s rhythm, he went to make up for himself.


    Makelele knew Schneider''s intention only by looking at Schneider''s running position, glanced at the situation around him, Pirlo retraced and also stared at Raul. Milvoldo was alone in the number of defenders.


    He moved to the right and did not dare to rush too hard, fearing that Carlos would pass the middle to Sidorf.


    But Carlos has a rib, which is to take the ball to the bottom line. Near the 45-degree angle, Carlos unexpectedly chooses a long shot!


    Yes, at least it seems that the ball is going towards the goal.


    This heavy bombardment of the door was surprising. Although Bout was fully prepared, he was also taken aback. In addition, the ball was so strong that he could only block the ball outside. Pirlo did not turn around after taking the ball outside. But he was stolen by Raul, and Raul also shot long shots from outside the penalty area.


    Bout fell to the ground and the ball was blocked again. For a time, the area was barren.


    Mijatovic got the ball, he took the opportunity to go forward, Southgate stretched his foot to block, but did not touch the ball, Mijatovic fell to the ground and the referee stopped the game, pointing Ball point.


    Southgate roared angrily at the referee: "I didn''t touch him! This **** misjudgement!"


    Aldridge also raised his right hand with his index finger and shook back and forth for the first time, shouting towards the fourth official: "That is definitely not a penalty, absolutely not! Mijatovic fell deliberately, he Just want a penalty! If the referee doesn¡¯t want to be laughed at after the game, he will be fined!


    But the fourth official ignored Aldridge. In Europe, what is Millwall?


    Even if Aldridge was promoted to the altar in England, in front of the UEFA behemoth, it was as small as gravel.


    "Uh, this penalty is debatable. The slow motion shows that Southgate is extending his foot, but he didn''t touch Mijatovic at all. Mijatovic fell to the ground when he fell to the ground. Special, but between the electric light and the flint, the referee is not excused, but this will inevitably become the focus of the debate after the game."


    The referee insisted on the penalty, and Aldridge stood on the sidelines showing a sneer while shaking his head constantly.


    Although the opponent is suspected of a fall, the chance of a fall is still obtained by Real Madrid to capture a two-point attack. Their first position offensive or counterattack on the first wave of attack can''t threaten Millwall''s door, but it is against all tops. For the defense of strong teams, frontal defense is not difficult, the difficulty is the unpredictable second and third attacks.


    Raul stood in front of the penalty spot. When the referee blew the whistle, Raul approached, and exerted a moderate force, kicking the ball into a theoretical dead end. Butt did not guess the right direction and watched the ball into the net.


    "Real Madrid equalized the score by a penalty kick! 1:1. Although they were not dominant on the court, at least they were not behind the opponents, which made their mentality at least not become anxious with the passage of time. "


    Aldridge continued to applaud the players on the sidelines to make them recover from the loss of the ball, but also to encourage the fans to make their cheers even louder.


    "Forget the penalties just now, focus on the football, don''t think about anything else, there are times in the game, we can win!"


    If it is a normal and reasonable penalty, Aldridge will not shout at the players.


    But a penalty that is suspected of a fake throw will make the players dissatisfied, Audridge must let them focus on where to put it!


    If you feel wronged in your heart, if your attention starts to argue with the referee and fight with your opponent, then this game will definitely lose!


    Southgate shouted firmly to his teammates: "Come on, we will score again!"


    Nedved, who never talked much but infected his teammates with actual actions, ran at a high speed after kick-off, driving the offensive position, which made Millwall immediately cheer up and maintain the previous high level of performance.

 Chapter 324： Make a contribution

    Real Madrid equalized the score, and their mentality could be stabilized.


    After playing for more than an hour, they gradually became familiar with the rhythm of the field, especially when they began to give up fighting for the initiative, they were determined to fight back on the sidelines. Capello played the Italian defense for this Real Madrid last season. The foundation of the sphere began to work.


    Millwall''s offensive is still fierce and powerful. Their pass-and-run position is a good pass, and the offense plays well. Especially the sudden acceleration in front of Real Madrid''s threat zone shows the maturity of a team.


    However, today''s striker seems to have forgotten to take the shooting boots. Millwall, who is far ahead of Real Madrid, has never been able to score the second goal.


    Nedv¨§d had exactly the same running position as he scored in the first half, and once again got better in the back door, but this time he ran to the right, Shevchenko gave him a cover, and Larsen was on the other side. Passing, Real Madrid consciously noticed Nedved, but the initiative was half a shot behind, still let Nedved grab a point, but he no longer had a shot angle, Igna and Sanchez one before the other Left blocked him. Nedved did not choose to shoot this time, but knocked back to Shevchenko, who ran out of space and left unmarked. The Ukrainian nuclear warhead shot and shot!


    He still consciously went to play on the other side of the goal, Illgner certainly can''t save it!


    boom!


    The ball hit the goal post again and the bottom line was ejected.


    Shevchenko kneeled on the ground after shooting and blamed himself, but he didn''t put the ball into the gate this day.


    Nedved walked over and pulled him up, said nothing and then prepared to fight for the corner.


    Pirlo''s corner kick was a good place, but Nedved was defeated by Yero in the fight and Real Madrid header was released.


    Raul got the ball outside the penalty area, then split the ball to the left without looking at it.


    Carlos repeats the forward scene, dribbles the ball forward, and Real Madrid fights back!


    The counterattack was fast and fierce. Carlos made a long diagonal pass after the midfield. Makelele and Capdevila dragged in the final double attack Morantes, and the result was a big one. Morientes just grabbed the ball under the circumstances of the envelope. Originally grabbing the high ball landing point, Makelele and Capdevila met Morentes, and they must be in the disadvantage, and Morantes kept on. The ball, just head back and do it.


    The follow-up Mijatovi? received the ball and then plugged it into Morientes. This match made the Milwall defense completely lose his temper, because Mijatovi? passed a top pass, Morente. As soon as Swan turned and squeezed away Capdevila, he headed the goal directly against Makelele''s harassment.


    Slam!


    The ball also hit the far post, but it bounced into the gate.


    Real Madrid reversed the score simply and roughly by counterattack!


    The Real Madrid fans in the Amsterdam Arena all stood up and cheered, while the crazy Lion fans were stunned in shock.


    This Nima is too unbearable!


    Millwall''s attack on Mercury is really good-looking.


    But Real Madrid reversed the score unreasonably.


    Another threat from Carlos on the left, and this counterattack was tasted like Italian football. The offensive force was not much, not counting Raul¡¯s pass to Carlos. The entire counterattack was made by three people. Offensive, the two strikers on the front line cooperate to get everything done within five seconds.


    It''s not unreasonable that Heinks likes to use a high center, and in the face of Millwall''s "only" weakness where the overall defense line is obviously not high enough, Morrentes'' natural advantage has been maximized.


    "Real Madrid reversed the score in the 69th minute of the game. Now they are leading Millwall 2-1. In the first 70 minutes, Millwall took the initiative. They also played a very exciting offensive football, but the football game did not It¡¯s not that who attacked more fiercely, played better, and seemed to decide the outcome. Real Madrid seized the opportunity with few opportunities. Compared with it, Millwall wasted several opportunities in front of the goal. They can score the two **** that hit the crossbar and the goal post. I''m afraid Real Madrid has already lost the opportunity. Hall may have to reflect. Why didn''t the team shrink back with a 1-0 lead? Of course, fans and spectators want to enjoy an attack from start to finish."


    Aldridge stood calmly on the sidelines, not knowing why, at this moment, there was no panic and loss in his heart.


    On the contrary, he is very excited!


    Did Heinks teach him a lesson?


    No, there is no such feeling.


    Originally, Millwall¡¯s tactic today was to take the ultimate route. Either I broke down and crushed you, or the space behind my oppressive attack became a natural corridor for the opponent to counter. The opponent can seize the opportunity to counterattack. There is nothing to complain about the ball.


    Even if he loses the game in this way, Aldridge does not regret it. It would be very useless compared to losing the game with a moderately conservative tactic.


    And the game is not over yet, Millwall''s offense is not an unopenable situation, but a slight difference from the goal, as long as the attacker continues to accumulate an offensive advantage, the striker can calm down and improve the quality of the shot, with 20 minutes left to score It is not a wish.


    However, Real Madrid is ahead, will Heinks adjust?


    of course.


    Heinks allowed Real Madrid''s frontcourt players to receive another one on the sidelines, and Raul returned to the midfield and backcourt to harass the opponent''s midfield organization.


    Three minutes after the restart of the game, Aldrich saw Real Madrid¡¯s changes and gestured decisively to the players on the court. Shuiqi''s offense will encounter greater obstacles, which will affect the quality of the offense, then the team''s offense needs to be slightly changed.


    As long as Real Madrid hold on for another 15 minutes, they will again win the European Champions Cup after 32 years!


    Millwall''s previous set of attacks was a little difficult. The most intuitive is that Pirlo was stuck by Raul and his play began to decline.


    However, Millwall''s tactical adjustment played a role at this moment.


    After receiving the ball, Pirlo gave it directly to Makelele, and then Makelele returned. Elgra took the ball on the back line. After making a two-on-one match with Makelele, he moved on. He strode the ball and struck the ball. Midfielder.


    Raul was originally watching Pirlo, but after seeing Elgra dribbling forward from the three-meter position beside him, he gave up Pirlo and went after Elgra.


    Isn''t this central defender driving the ball forward?


    When Ra¨²l moved, Elgra immediately passed the ball back to Pirlo. Raul then turned around to harass Pirlo, and Pirlo kicked the ball back to Elgra again.


    Makelele retreated, almost parallel to Southgate, and after Pirlo''s pass, he also retreated and stood on the defensive midfielder area.


    Elgra continued to move forward, and Calumb on his side ran over to grab his ball. Elgra divided the ball again, and Capdevila drove the ball forward along the side road.


    When Karenbu assisted the side again, Capdevila passed the ball across the penalty area. Nedved ran to catch the ball before Redondo. Without stopping the ball, the ball went straight and the ball crossed. Real Madrid''s entire line of defense, and Millwall players got the ball in the penalty area!


    The Real Madrid players were shocked and looked incredible when they saw the player who broke through their back line in front of the running position.


    Elgra?


    Why didn''t you **** go back?


    The central defender rushed to this position, kill it!


    Panucci rushed into the penalty area at full speed, and Yero also blocked Elgra''s shooting angle, but although Elgra got a good position to shoot, he really did not dare to shoot, fearing that he wasted the attack. good chance.


    When Yero moved to his right front position to compress his shooting angle, Elgra calmly passed the ball to the defensive gap between Yello and Sanches.


    Trezeguet attracted Sanchez''s attention, but Larson was unmarked at this moment, and he rushed forward and kicked the ball.


    I dare not force it!


    Frightened by beams and gate posts.


    Larson tried to push the goal into the corner of the goal steadily, but the strength was not big, but the angle was tricky. Igna was really powerless this time, the distance was too close, he couldn''t reach the ball when he fell to the ground.


    Watching the ball into the dead end and drilling the bottom of the goal net.


    "Millwall quickly equalized the score! The person who scored was Larson! The assist was sent to him by an unexpected player, central defender Elgra! Millwall''s attack was carried out by Elgra from the defender The line was launched all the way, and the opponent''s defense line was torn apart by two consecutive ones in the middle. Real Madrid''s defensive players seem to have a collective brain crash. They may have an illusion: Is Elgra crazy? He rushed all the way up, once lost After the ball was counterattacked, could Millwall¡¯s defense be able to withstand? But we replayed the whole process of this attack from the panoramic camera playback and found: Millwall played a classic wave of full attack and full defense cooperation from El As Gera moved forward along the way, his role and teammate''s role were constantly changing. He changed from a central defender to a midfielder, midfielder, and then to a frontline midfielder role, while Makelele retreated The defensive line took over the role of central defender, Pirlo turned into a defensive midfielder, Nedvide also returned to play the role of midfielder after the straight, even if he was counterattacked, Millwall was not in each defensive position The lack of people. It is in this tacit understanding of the role conversion that Real Madrid''s defense was completely exploded by Millwall!"


    Larsson saw the ball rolling into the door, and the referee signaled that the goal was effective. He smiled with relief, then ran the goal and picked up the ball and ran back, not planning to celebrate at all.


    In the process of Larsson holding the ball and running back, his teammates ran to celebrate with him high-five, or simply hugged.


    With ten minutes left in the game, Millwall wanted to score another goal, otherwise their physical fitness would be reaching their limit.


    Aldridge did not celebrate, but wiped the sweat on his forehead, turned around in a circle and called the players on the bench to warm up.


    He didn''t want to play overtime, but now 80 minutes immediately, the score is still a draw, he must prepare for overtime.


    Elgra inserted all the way into the opponent''s penalty area. The previous attack was a surprise attack. It was very difficult to copy. Real Madrid suffered a loss and could not be fooled again.


    Heinkes also let the substitutes warm up. The conflict between him and Su Ke is mainly due to Su Ke''s physical problems, but at this time in the game, Su Ke no matter what, 10 minutes or playing overtime, sure no problem.


    Mijatovic + Suk + Raul.


    This is the Real Madrid striker Trident under Capello last season, the offensive end is to switch back and forth between 12 and 21.


    At this time, Heinks intends to put this combination on the battlefield. As for others, he is at ease to do defense.


    Real Madrid took the lead in substitutions. Davao Suk, who can play the violin on his left foot, replaced Morientes. In the whole game, Morrentes did not have much highlights other than that goal.


    Under the premise of Real Madrid based on defense, Millwall''s physical fitness also began to expose problems. He went all out for more than eighty minutes. The youngest Pirlo reached the stage of running out of lights, and Aldridge also replaced. Replaced Pirlo.


    After these two substitutions, the game tended to be dull. Millwall replaced the midfield commander, the core of the offensive and defensive conversion, so Barak has to adapt to the time, and also follow the fast-paced style of play. Barak can''t adapt, and his position mistake will be fatal.


    Under such circumstances, both teams are afraid of losing the ball, and the game is moving towards overtime step by step.

 Chapter 325： What left

    At the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium, a tense atmosphere entered the scene. Fans from both sides stood in the stands and prayed for the team: Never drop the ball again!


    Less than 3 minutes left after the end of the 90 minutes of the game, the two teams entered a weird "peaceful state", because everyone has scruples: In case of an attack and a counterattack, the ball lost at this time is a heavy thunder Hit!


    If you enter overtime, the game will have 30 minutes anyway.


    Under such circumstances, the two teams did not invest most of their forces to suppress the offensive, relying on individual soldiers to try their luck, in case anyone suddenly came out against the sky, it would be equal to winning the jackpot.


    However, the defense of the two teams refused to become the background of personal heroism. After that, the two sides resolved their opponents'' offense, and the 90-minute game came to the end in the referee''s whistle.


    "Unfortunately, after Millwall equalized the score, we did not see a more threatening offensive of the two teams. In the last ten minutes, the two teams made substitutions, and after the substitutions, the two sides entered a In the conservative state, they are afraid of losing the ball and being killed by their opponents. Now they can only wait for the start of overtime to see how the two teams will perform in overtime."


    Before the start of overtime, there will be a ten-minute break. The first thing Aldridge needs to confirm is the physical condition of the players. At this moment, the whole team''s mind is in one place: the trophy!


    Therefore, there is no benefit in concealing your situation, it is hindering everyone''s dreams.


    Capdevila couldn''t hold it anymore, he went straight up and down on the left for 90 minutes, and also reached the edge of exhaustion, Schneider on the other side was slightly better because he didn''t dare to rush too hard, or, he said It was suppressed by Carlos.


    Aldrich first confirmed the substitution and replaced Capdevila with Zambrotta.


    After that, his encouragement to the team was only one sentence: take away the Champions League and reward himself for a season!


    Yes, Aldridge didn''t say anything to dedicate the trophy to the fans, to the audience, to XX, tell them bluntly, win, and treat yourself!


    Rather than let them pursue great and lofty goals at this time, it is better to be selfish and realistic.


    When they got the Champions League, they would be coated with gold!


    This set of truths was very useful to the players. After nodding, they rested as much as possible. The masseurs were so busy that they were dizzy.


    When the overtime started, Millwall was replaced. Aldridge took off his suit jacket and stood on the sidelines. His tie was on his hips and his strong body made him look particularly heroic.


    In the VIP box of the stadium, Arthur looked down at the stadium with a nervous look. His tie had been loosened and skewed. He seemed to be unaware, because his tension made the atmosphere of the whole box depressed.


    Andrew and Barnett stood beside Arthur, no matter who talked to Arthur, he couldn''t listen as if he were enchanted, his eyes always staring at the court.


    Aldridge¡¯s little nephew, Bowen, stood up in Millwall¡¯s jersey. Only he and Arthur had the same expression in the whole box. Worrying about Millwall, he suffered from the trophy within reach.


    Aldrich¡¯s sister-in-law and Rowling, who were invited to watch the ball today, can only sit next to them without saying a word. Jessica has a lot of lessons and has run to Bowen, but she may not understand today¡¯s game Meaning.


    Most of the fans in the stands are in this mood. At the beginning of the game, everyone can calm down, but when there is not much time left in the game, the result is that when the moment is approaching, it can''t calm down.


    The referee whistle and the overtime starts!


    Real Madrid launched a fast break, Millwall successfully defended, and also played fast after changing from a defense to an attack!


    The two teams have entered a fast pace this time, it seems that Aldridge and Heinkes have the same idea: Fight!


    Millwall''s physical fitness is no longer dominant, and now he is desperately relying on a persistent belief.


    Real Madrid gradually developed a ball control advantage in the midfield, Millwall adjusted to quickly promote the attack on the sidelines, Zambrotta just came on the court, there is no problem with sprinting up and down, Barack is more focused on defense, and the attack is inserted in time. .


    Between the offensive and defensive, the two teams you come and go have played very threatening offense.


    Karumb cooperated with Redondo and handed the ball to Raul in the frontcourt, but Raul missed the ball, causing the ball to cross the Makelele line. Mijatovic wanted to reapply the trick and turned halfway. Heading the ball was a straight pass. Elgra grabbed the header before Souk, but he exerted too much force and seemed to strain his leg. After landing, he made a gesture towards the side of the court.


    Aldridge¡¯s only remaining substitutions are now in use. Although he doesn¡¯t want Elgra to go off, this time the people who adjust the defensive line, especially the position of the central defender, are very unfavorable.


    However, this situation, he did not complain, but quickly let Materazzi put on the jersey to play, and told Materazzi a few words before playing.


    "Millwall used the last substitution. This is a passive substitution. The situation seems to be very unfavorable for Millwall. Elgra performed well in this game, with a solid defense and assisted Larsson to tie the game. One goal, this is probably the epitome of his performance at Millwall this season. The combination of the central defender composed of him and Southgate is reassuring. Before him, this position was Stam, but now, Millwall Fans probably have forgotten Stam and will not miss the Dutch halfway."


    Elgra limped and said regretfully to Aldridge, "I''m sorry, boss."


    "There is no need to apologize to me. You have done a good job. Can you still watch the game next to you?"


    Elgra felt that he could not stick to the game, but he was treated by the team doctor in the end, and it was okay to watch the game.


    After he nodded, Aldridge patted his shoulder and smiled, "Then watch it below, cheer for your teammates, and wait to prepare for the prize!"


    Elgra smiled at the news, Aldridge¡¯s self-confidence affects every player on the team, through his confidence to infect the players, so that the players also become confident, regardless of any opponent, can stand upright Waist board!


    The central defender''s injury was a very bad change, but Millwall changed the score before the end of the first half of overtime!


    After the start of Schneider''s overtime, he honestly stayed at the full-back position until the 103rd minute. He saw that there was 1 minute left in the first half of extra time. At this time, he chose to rush up, as long as it was not immediately After being counterattacked by the opponent, he may end up in the referee whistle after he rushes up.


    He inserted an assist forward, and Barak also diverted the ball to the right. In the face of Carlos, Schneider passed the ball to Shevchenko after pretending to be a passer. , So Carlos was taken away.


    Shevchenko also made a pretending pass after taking the ball. Sanchez''s center of gravity was deflected. Shevchenko suddenly dabbed the ball past him and then went straight into the penalty area.


    Sanchez hated the sky, this Ukrainian did not try to break the ball, pass the ball, pass the ball in the first 100 minutes of the game, all in cooperation with his teammates or his own empty space!


    Wan Wan did not expect that he would suddenly come here for a while!


    When Shevchenko drove the ball into the penalty area, he observed the situation in the middle of the road. Redondo ran back to the penalty area to make up the seat. Shevchenko turned his head and observed the movement to confuse everyone, because Trezeguet and Larsen also In the open space, Yero and Redondo thought that Shevchenko would pass the ball, but the Ukrainians accelerated again, and actually took the ball to the top corner of the small penalty area!


    Cheated!


    This kid has to do it alone!


    Shevchenko''s single-handed trend has already formed. He looks at the ball under his feet firmly. Igna is attacking. His foot will be a golden opportunity.


    It has been three years since he came to Millwall. In three years, he has become a hot-selling striker in Europe from a stunned debut in the first show. The transfer agreement with AC Milan has basically been reached, and only the insider is he. With Aldridge and AC Milan.


    Neither teammates nor fans know that this game will be his last game for Millwall!


    Thanks to the boss, still let me play, trust me!


    Not that I am dissatisfied with Millwall, but AC Milan, that was my childhood dream!


    What do I have to leave here, what to leave, what to leave...


    BOOM!


    "Shevchenko vigorously volleyed the goal from close range! Igna did not respond. The ball was too fast and unimaginably fast. The ball flew past Igna''s head and straight into the corner of the goal! Milwaukee At the end of the first half of overtime, Al led again, and now they are 3:2 ahead of Real Madrid! Only 15 minutes left in the club¡¯s first UEFA Champions League history will be in the pocket, won from the first Champions League The champion¡¯s myth is only 15 minutes away! Millwall, the devilish lion, can Europe be king after 15 minutes?!!!"


    Aldrich looked at the ball with his head shaking from side to side because he was blocked by players on the field. He had to probe left and right to find the line of sight. He did not see how Shevchenko got his feet, but saw the ball flying The process of popping up after entering the goal.


    The goal drove all Millwalls crazy, Aldridge snarled with fists clenched.


    "Damn, the ball is so beautiful! Andre is awesome!"


    Jenson rushed to hug Aldridge, in his hometown, and on Ajax¡¯s territory. Although he appeared here as an assistant, it was impossible for him to set foot on the stadium four years ago. Today''s game thrilled him. He was more excited than Aldridge and rushed to the sideline to wave his arms and celebrate.


    After she scored a goal, Shevchenko ran to the stands of the fans, before he took off his jersey, and then a slide came to the side of the court. The expression was very weird, crying like a smile, who didn¡¯t understand, probably thought he It was caused by excitement.


    In the box, Arthur knelt down directly, his fists held high and roared "Long live Millwall"


    Everyone else in the box was stunned.


    Although Andrew and Barnett are also happy, they have been fanatics since childhood, but as they grow older, they really can¡¯t do anything like Arthur that can desperately express their inner emotions. Perhaps, growing up, they learned to disguise. .


    The first half of overtime will end soon. Generally speaking, there is no rest time, but the referee will be reasonable and allow the players of both sides to take a sip and rest for a minute or two.


    Aldrich had to change his strategy at this time. He took out a tactical board and told the players where to stand. The team had to play a 451 formation, with a two-sided striker retreat, five midfielders, and a very thorough defensive tactic.


    As long as the last 15 minutes are kept, Millwall will reach the peak of Europe!

 Chapter 326： Man with stress

    Although Millwall is leading again, but a ball is not safe, the fans in the stands are still very nervous, and Real Madrid fans are more worried, after all, the team is behind.


    Aldridge stood standing on the sidelines, not pacing back and forth or having extra body movements, which would only make him look restless.


    At this time, you need a stable mindset!


    At the beginning of the second half of overtime, Real Madrid pressed the army, the premise of the full back position, the premise of the midfielder, the two central defenders were set up to form a simple and fragile defensive line. There is no way, they must sacrifice defense to strengthen the attack!


    The whole game hit this part, except for the 90 minutes and the last few minutes, the two teams were conservatively conservative. At other times, Millwall was aggressively suppressing Real Madrid in an offensive posture.


    Aldrich believes that when the second half of overtime comes, the last 15 minutes of the game are left, the physical strength of the two teams is almost exhausted, Real Madrid is no better, and it ran for 105 minutes. It should be tired. The offense should not be played. Now!


    But he was wrong. After playing for 5 minutes in the second half of overtime, Aldridge regretted his decision to shrink the team by half.


    Real Madrid has indeed reached the limit of physical fitness, but Millwall''s collection, the physical fitness that has reached the limit is quickly exhausted, and Real Madrid''s advantage is shown. During this period, the best performers, Real Madrid''s midfielder Seedorf, the Dutchman who represented Ajax in the European Championship three years ago.


    Seedorf calmly organized the schedule in the midfield, and every pass was quite threatening. He made Real Madrid''s offense raise the level.


    In the 113th minute, Seedorf passed the ball to Raul, who was in the penalty area, and Raul half-turned the shot to be blocked by Bout. Real Madrid missed a good opportunity.


    The blocked ball came to Southgate''s feet, and he turned to make a big foot!


    Single Arrow Trezeguet succeeded in an offside attack.


    It''s a pity that Trezeguet, who started from the center line, couldn''t pick up the speed after he got the ball. He was almost running cramps. Real Madrid''s two central defenders are both over 30 years old. Instead, Redondo ran back. , And then broke Trezeguet''s foot ball.


    Trezeguet fell on the court, but no one ignored him, Real Madrid was in a hurry to attack, and Odri? did not blame Trezeguet on the sidelines. He didn''t even reach the penalty area with his ball. Don''t move.


    The oppressive full-attack and full-defense requirements are too high for physical fitness.


    The other two forwards, Larson and Shevchenko, have completely become a barrier in front of the full-back. When Trezeguet is close to cramping, Millwall''s attack is ruined.


    After that, they defended with all their strength, and the Real Madrid army pressured Millwall to bombard them.


    Calumb made a long shot outside the penalty area, Carlos made a diagonal pass to Raul header from the centre, Redondo straightly sent Semijatovi? to force the kick...


    In just 5 minutes, Real Madrid had five kicks to the front of the goal. Fortunately, Bout played bravely and kept the goal high and low.


    With the last minute left in the game, fans of the Lions looked forward to looking at the team to reach Europe, and Real Madrid launched its final attack.


    Real Madrid''s central defenders have all rushed into Millwall''s penalty area to try to catch the high-altitude ball, so that Millwall compression in the penalty area must have more talents to defend the position. This is the player''s subconscious choice in the last tense moment.


    Aldridge was very anxious to see this scene on the sidelines. The scene was a little messy. Can he withstand the pressure at the last moment? This can no longer be viewed with the eyes of normal moments.


    Card pass route, card pass route!


    It doesn''t matter how many people are in the penalty area, what matters is how the ball will pass!


    Walk on the ground, go to the pass pass, go high, and there are defenders in the area competing for the top. It is not necessary to have a one-to-one marking with a balanced number of people. Such a defense will never be able to stare at the opponent, because the attacker¡¯s The initiative of running is always more advantageous than the defensive side!


    Sure enough, Raul, Mijatovic, and Suk returned to the running position after two central defenders entered the penalty area and disturbed the defense. Redondo passed a pass to Raul, and Raul quickly kicked the wall. Two passes to Suk!


    Su Ke opened the door in the penalty area, Materazzi stretched his feet to block, but Su Ke pulled a step horizontally, shaking out the free time and then using the left foot of the violin to open the bow!


    The ball flew to Millwall''s goal like a cannonball. Aldridge had desperate thoughts in his heart, but Bout staged an incredible save. He threw the ball out!


    Hero!


    The crazy lion fans in the stands have not been excited for a few seconds. The ball that flew out of the penalty area fell to Carlos'' feet. He also fired long shots. Under the turmoil, all the surrounding Millwall players rushed to block with their bodies. , But Carlos calmly knocked the ball horizontally, Seedorf adjusted the ball one step after taking the ball, followed by a long shot!


    The speed of the ball is not fast, but the angle is very tricky. After flying over the defender''s head and falling down to the right side of the goal, Bout just got up from the ground. This time, he was not prepared enough. When he faced the ball, he couldn''t touch his fingertips The ball is gone.


    boom!


    The Real Madrid fans in the stands of the Amsterdam Arena are boiling!


    "Seedorf helped Real Madrid equalize the score at the last moment! 3:3, 3:3, Millwall was originally only 10 seconds away from the top of Europe, or as long as they successfully defended the offense, they would You can wait for the referee to blow the whistle and run towards the champion, but Seedorf let the champion¡¯s suspense come back at the last moment! Penalty shootout, the two teams will have a penalty shootout! The referee confirmed that the goal was valid and ended the plus In time, the next two teams will have a penalty shootout!"


    Real Madrid equalized the score at the last moment, which was a heavy blow to morale!


    The fans in the stands were struggling and unbelievable.


    Arthur barely dared to look down with his hands hidden in the box.


    This is not a good sign, the team will soon win the championship, but at the last moment the buzzer equalized the score.


    There will not be much time to prepare for the penalty shootout. Although Aldridge has also suffered a strong shock in his heart, his expression is still very calm.


    The expressions of the players are different, and many people are affected by Seedorf''s goals, and their eyes are a little lost.


    Aldridge made 11 people on the court stand together in a circle, and then let the players on the bench also join them. He was the last to walk in, and then bent down with his left and right hands on his shoulders, and the players all bent over. Listen to Aldridge¡¯s speech.


    "This is the case with football games. You may score in the first minute, or you may be scored by the opponent in the last minute. We have to face it with ordinary hearts. If I say that, I still cannot cheer you up, so please be careful. Recall that in September last year, when we got the lottery result, was Millwall a hot hit? No, but we stepped on Barcelona, ??Dynamo Kyiv, PSV to qualify for the knockout, when we met Juventus Are we going to be popular at this time? No! When we went to the Louis II stadium to face Monaco, the outside world was still not optimistic about us, but we came here, came to this stadium, and the six-time Champions League winner Royal Madrid fight for the trophy! We have never been optimistic, but we have proven ourselves, you make me proud, make me proud, me, Aldrich Hall, worthless, all my achievements are thanks to you, because I I have always been confident in you and still have it! We will face the penalty shootout next. I will not tell you to forget the pressure. That is unrealistic. You should not deliberately ignore the pressure. We are men, men shoulder the world, Men dominate the order, men defend the family, ethnic groups, men should have pressure, face the pressure, overcome the pressure! Those who dare not face the pressure are cowards, weak! You are not, you have to stand up and go to the penalty spot It doesn¡¯t matter if you take the penalty or not. The important thing is whether you dare, can you play your normal level! Millwall?"


    "Chong Chong Chong!"


    All the players shouted in unison.


    Aldrich''s words quickly cheered them up, completely forgetting the heavy blow brought by Seedorf''s buzzer leveling!


    Each player''s eyes firmly encouraged each other.


    Seeing this scene, the crazy lion fans in the stands stubbornly raised their chins: even if they lose today, the crazy lion is still the strongest in their hearts!


    Aldrich walked to Real Madrid after submitting the order list of penalty shooters. He shook hands with Heinx again. The two men exchanged arms for a minute and expressed their respect. The greeting was before the game. Now the game has come At the end, the two didn''t know each other.


    When the penalty shootout was about to begin, Millwall players stood near the middle circle, all with their heads up and solemn faces, their arms rested on the shoulders of their teammates in a line.


    On the sidelines, Aldridge also played in a row with all the coaching staff, even the bench players.


    Such a scene is extremely shocking at the scene.


    Live TV shows the world''s unyielding side of Millwall!


    Millwall took the penalty first. When the first person walked to the penalty spot, Real Madrid goalkeeper Ilgena spread his palms and shouted to the other side: "Hey, you made a mistake, I will defend the goal!"


    The narrator is crazy, there is no one who is not shocked except Millwall''s coaches and players!


    "Milwall''s first penalty kicker was goalkeeper Bout! Goalkeeper! Goalkeeper! Grass! I have never seen a goalkeeper take a penalty in the first round of a penalty shootout! Hall is crazy Is he crazy? With so many good players on the team, why is Bout the first? Why? This is crazy, crazy!"


    Real Madrid players were shocked when they saw Bout taking the first penalty.


    Millwall up and down trusted Bout very much. After training, he would practice penalties, not saving, but shooting penalties, the standard is not worse than anyone.


    Igna faced bout with no expression. According to the goalkeeper level, Igna should be above Bout. Bout also has self-knowledge. He knows that the outside world has been criticized. He is gradually not worthy of Milwall¡¯s main goalkeeper. The outside world has always To give Millwall an idea to buy a better goal in the future to replace him, but Aldridge has never had a sign of introducing a goalkeeper.


    Keeping the goal is the basic task, and the guard team can contribute in the penalty shootout. Butte is incumbent.


    In the first ball, he approached the run like he usually did, and then steadily pushed the ball to the corner of the goal. Illgner judged the direction of the ball, but the speed of the ball plus the angle made him guess right. Helpless!


    Millwall led the penalty game with a 1:0 lead.


    Bout walked directly to the goal after the penalty kick, and then he had to defend the goal.


    His breezy posture gave Real Madrid players great pressure.


    This goalkeeper is too calm!


    Although Aldridge didn''t celebrate on the sidelines, a big stone fell in his heart.


    The penalty shootout is sometimes a psychological battle. The calmer the side, the greater the psychological pressure on the opponent.


    Millwall dared to be the goalkeeper, and it was the first, and the goalkeeper also scored a penalty, which will undoubtedly have a psychological impact on Real Madrid!

 Chapter 327： King of europe

    The penalty shoot-out test is more psychological quality, which is different from the regular 90-minute game. It is very different. The penalty shoot-out is a sign that the outcome will be announced. At this moment, the more you care about the outcome, the more you are determined to win. , But may not be able to play better, plus the 120-minute game, the player''s physical fatigue, physical overdraft, under the dual pressure of psychological pressure and physical load, the ordinary technical action of kicking the penalty, may be deformed !


    Butte''s physical fitness is no problem. As long as he overcomes the pressure, he can play a normal level. Sure enough, he scored the first penalty. It seems easy, but it is not simple.


    Real Madrid¡¯s first penalty shooter was Mijatovic. The shooter who helped Real Madrid create a controversial penalty came to the penalty spot. The audience was solemn and watched the ball at his feet. What kind of trajectory.


    Mijatovic has been staring at the bottom left corner of the goal before the run. This is a deceptive action that allows the goalkeeper to care about the defense in the bottom left corner. In the end, only Mijatovic knows.


    After the run, he chose a volley and Bout flew in the direction of the lower left corner. Bout was cheated!


    Mijatovic''s penalty was shot to the other side!


    but!


    The ball missed the post and missed!


    "Mijatovic missed the first penalty, he missed it! He failed to withstand the pressure, although Bout went in the wrong direction, but Mijatovic was too angled, so the ball was slightly off Out! At the end of the first round, Millwall leads Real Madrid 1-0."


    Bout got up from the ground and walked aside in a turbulent expression, changing for Igna to keep the goal.


    Millwall players in the middle lap had no extra celebration when Mijatovic missed a penalty, but many people closed their eyes and waved their fists.


    When the second person who made a penalty for Millwall approached the penalty spot, the commentator collapsed again.


    "Matrazzi! Matrazzi is the second person to take the penalty! What about Millwall''s striker? What about the midfielder? First the goalkeeper and then the defender, don''t others dare to take a penalty? It¡¯s incredible. The first round was a goalkeeper and the second round was a defender. Is Hall¡¯s order of penalty shooters in the wrong order?"


    Materazzi is an excellent penalty shooter. Of course, it is difficult for people who do not pay attention to the Premier League to use the bench to play for the English timeout in Millwall. Anyone who scores a goal is Materazzi. In all competitions this season, he contributed 11 goals to Millwall, 6 of which were penalty kicks.


    He came to take a penalty, of course, and he only played in overtime. The whole life is alive and well. In the team, his prestige is sometimes higher than that of Larsson, the third captain, because he often wears the captain. The armband led the substitute players to play.


    Facing Ilgner, Materazzi looked serious. After the referee blew his whistle, he approached and shot hard!


    The ball flew into the upper right corner of the goal swiftly, and it might fly a little higher, but it also made the goalkeeper completely impossible to save. Igna almost stood still. The opponent''s foot shot was too handy. Helpless, fast and accurate!


    "Matrazzi also made a penalty kick. Although it was a bit risky and crazy for Butt and Matrazzi to be the first and second penalty shooter, both of them made a penalty. All of a sudden, Real Madrid suffered even more pressure. In the invisible battlefield, Hall¡¯s team now has the upper hand! Real Madrid¡¯s second appearance is Seedorf, who helped the team to equalize. The hero of the score, can he withstand the pressure to help Real Madrid restore morale?"


    Seedorf calmly, facing a penalty kick, he slowly approached the run, and then suddenly exerted force, the ball speed was also fast, but Bout still guessed the wrong direction, he flew in the same direction, and West Dorf''s penalty kick went towards the corner of the goal.


    boom!


    The ball hit the beam and bounced out!


    "Wow, Seedorf¡¯s penalty was rejected by the crossbar, Millwall hit the frame four times in 120 minutes, this time Real Madrid hit the frame, but this time, it is undoubtedly very heavy for Real Madrid. Hit!"


    All Real Madrid fans in the stands were silent. Many people shook their heads in absentmind. Seedorf walked back with their heads down. Many Real Madrid players crouched on the turf and seemed extremely lost.


    2: 0 lead Real Madrid.


    In theory, as long as two more penalty kicks are made, Millwall will win the championship.


    At this moment in the game, Aldridge was really nervous. His left arm rested on Jenson¡¯s shoulder, and his right arm rested on Benitez¡¯s shoulder. If not both of them also watched nervously on the court, they You must be able to notice the unnatural shaking of Aldridge''s arm.


    The European Champions Cup is within reach!


    Millwall''s third penalty shooter, Nedved!


    "I finally saw an expected penalty shooter. Nedved started the second half of the season and performed very well. Hall further stimulated his attack potential, if said in the attacking midfield or before Who in the waist position can score more goals than Nedved in the first half of 1998, and I am afraid that they will not be found in the five major leagues. In particular, many of his goals are very critical. He is worthy of trust and has become Millwall. Banner characters."


    Faced with Igna, Nedved came naturally and kicked the shot. Igna was almost crazy, he guessed the right direction, but the angle of Nedved''s shot was very tricky, he was bad. Then a little bit can keep the ball out.


    When Nedved scored this goal, the fans of the crazy lions finally burst into cheers.


    This pushes Real Madrid to the edge of the cliff. Even if Real Madrid does not fall for the time being, the next two penalties, as long as they get one more penalty, they will win the European Champions Cup!


    Nedved walked back with his eyes closed, his clenched fist trembling gently at his mouth, and when he opened his eyes, his teammates welcomed his return!


    "The pressure is completely on Real Madrid''s side. The third appearance is Su Ke, he must penalty kick, otherwise, they will watch their opponents climb to the top of Europe."


    Before this, Su Ke observed Bout''s habit of saving two penalties. The opponent made a pre-judgment to save in advance. He planned to deceive Bout''s center of gravity this time and then easily penalty kick.


    Bute didn''t make the first two penalty kicks, especially Real Madrid players were particularly chasing angles and hit the ball.


    If Su Ke can shoot the ball into an absolute theoretical dead angle, even if he predicts the right direction, he will not be able to save 80%. Therefore, in the case of the team leading 3:0, he chose to seek stability and expand the goal. In the central defensive area, if the opponent hits a tricky shot, he can''t.


    When the referee whistled, Su Ke started to run. He kept staring at Bout. During a short run-up time, he hesitated and began to be nervous.


    German, you fucking!


    Bash!


    Bash!


    The left and right sides are up to you, bash! ! !


    But Bout was standing on the cat''s waist, looking like a sculpture.


    Su Ke came to the ball and couldn''t stop after a penalty run. He had to complete the shooting action. Like Ronaldo''s penalty kick, it was very controversial that there was a rhythm pause in front of the ball, but from the beginning to the end, his action was Coherent, that is to say, running, supporting feet standing, swinging legs, shooting, these actions have not completely stopped or changed their mind after making it, so C Ronaldo''s deceptive focus is actually a quick To the slow movement process, the whole is coherent, so the referee allows such a penalty kick.


    And Suk has now run to the penalty spot, he must shoot, but Bout did not move, so that he panicked, and can only seem to arbitrarily kick the ball to the left of the center of the goal, It''s a half-height, the goalkeeper is not good.


    However, when the ball is not fast, Bout waits for the ball to come out and then save. At this time, Bout and Suk are like good friends who tacitly agree. Embracing him in his arms, Bout, who had been expressionless, threw the ball into the direction of his teammates.


    He shouted distortedly, "What are you waiting for? The king of Europe! Let''s revel!"


    Millwall''s ten teammates in the midline area suddenly rushed towards Bout as a cage beast, roaring with fists held high!


    The substitute players on the sidelines rushed to the court for the first time. Millwall''s coaching team centered on Audridge also rushed forward. Audridge widened his eyes and his facial expression became strange, and he also turned Forward, but I don''t know which unlucky **** got him kicked, and the handsome fell to the ground with a snap.


    Fortunately, the coaching staff next to them all knew each other, and immediately played Di Luohan, directly pressing Aldridge to the bottom, so that at least it didn''t seem that Aldridge fell, but he took the initiative to celebrate...


    "It''s over! Sucker''s penalty was easily taken into the arms by Bout. Millwall''s penalty shootout defeated Real Madrid 3:0. They became the champion of the European Championship in the 97/98 season! Millwall''s 11th Champions League this season Remaining undefeated, they did not reach the final with a dark horse, but came here with absolute strength and finally won the cup. This myth is a miracle and is destined to be a classic season in the history of the European Champions Cup. Millwall, a well-deserved European champion! Real Madrid is more regretful. After 32 years, the Champions League Champions League dream was completely smashed by Millwall in the penalty shootout. This final was described in the mouth of Hall. Wall made the Champions League lover dream Amsterdam!"


    The commentary from England was completely crazy on the live broadcast.


    "The English club returned to the top of Europe after a lapse of 14 years! The last Champions League championship was Liverpool in 1984. In these 14 years, English football has experienced the most painful dark era. We were banned and we were attacked by football hooligans in Europe. , We were beaten by the strong European teams again and again, but we made a comeback, we stood up one step at a time, at this time, a great young coach appeared in England, he was Audridge Hall, every Englishman Cheers for him, he made England the focal point of Europe again! He built a division of kings that swept Europe in four years! We absolutely can¡¯t think of it. It¡¯s Millwall who carried the flag of England and Millwall. Let the England team return to the peak of glory in Europe! In this game, Hall once again showed his wisdom. In the regular time, Millwall lacked luck, and they were all scored four times. The door frame refused, but in the penalty shootout, Hall first used the goalkeeper, then the defender, and then the midfielder took the penalty kick, step by step breaking the psychological defense of Real Madrid, this is definitely premeditated! Austria Derich Hall, he used his wisdom to achieve Millwall, this young team, and even more himself! Starting today, Hall is the champion coach, Millwall has also become King of Europe!"

 Chapter 328： Future things, think again in the future

    Amsterdam Athletic Stadium.


    After a 120-minute battle and a brutal penalty shootout, the Real Madrid players fell on the turf at the moment when the results were clear. The expressions on the players'' faces were different, some were lonely, some were sad, some were numb, Some eyes are red...


    Heynckes came on the court to comfort every player, he was also frustrated, but probably because of his age, he can bear the blow of this moment more than the players.


    He told every Real Madrid player: We will make a comeback!


    Of course, Heincks knows that his journey to Real Madrid is over. The league is third, the Champions League runner-up, missed the European Championship next season, Real Madrid club can not tolerate his record this season.


    But he hopes the players can cheer up and not leave here in despair.


    In the stands, Millwall fans were reveling. At this great moment, they witnessed their beloved team ascending to the top of Europe as if to die.


    Aldridge was relieved after a long time. The companions of the coaching staff almost crushed him to death. The suit jacket was already on the seat. The shirt and trousers. He stood up and looked untidy. He looked untidy. Slutty boy.


    The joy of winning the championship did not make him cry in tears. It is strange that when many fans in the stands and even several players on the field have wet eyes, Aldridge seems to have become a fledgling young man, just wanting to show off at this moment. Unleash young passion.


    He hugged and shook hands with his colleagues in the coaching staff, and spoke words of gratitude in their ears. Without them, the team would not be able to get here and reach today¡¯s height. Millwall¡¯s success is not his own, and never will be. It may be that a good coaching team is an indispensable element of a successful team.


    In four years, Aldridge has already won the respect and admiration of his colleagues in the coaching staff. Now he can thank them for the first time after winning the championship. It seems that in their hearts, Aldridge has changed from a person to a god.


    The players hugged each other on the court, and after embracing Pirlo, Materazzi walked behind Aldridge, held his calf with both hands, crossed his heads between his legs, and stood together, leaving Aldridge whole Sitting on his shoulders.


    After taking off his shirt, Materazzi showed strong muscles and took Audridge to the fans stand.


    "Marco, doesn''t it need to be this way?"


    Aldridge asked, bowing his head.


    Matrazi laughed: "But they like it!"


    That''s right, all the fans of the crazy lions in this stand made a gesture of worship, and the scene was extremely shocking.


    The Brawl fans organization led by Brady suddenly sang cheerful songs in the stands. The lyrics were prepared by them long ago. It was a birthday song specially written for Aldridge.


    At the end of the song, more than two thousand fans in the stand shouted in unison: "Audridge, happy birthday!"


    Aldrich jumped from Materazzi, to be honest, a big man with a high shoulder width hugs someone like Materazzi, but he still hugged Materazzi and turned his head to smile and asked: "Is there any notice Friends and family come to watch the game?"


    Materazzi said lightly: "I didn''t inform anyone. Besides, I don''t know if I can make it. People who care about me will pay attention to this game. As to whether it will come, I don''t know.


    Aldridge sighed slightly. Materazzi''s childhood was very tragic. He was fierce on the field, but outside the court was a person who kept his peace.


    "Remember this moment today, and I''m sure you will start in the Champions League final in the future!"


    Materazzi grinned and asked, "How do you know I won''t leave?"


    Aldridge chuckled: "Go? Are you willing?"


    Materazzi raised his eyebrows as he looked at Aldridge''s far away view. Perhaps he was really reluctant to leave.


    However, for his hometown in Italy, like many players who came to Millwall, he had a plan before he came: after all, this is not a destination.


    Aldridge walked in front of Larson, said nothing, hugged the other side and patted the other''s back, but Larson kept telling the joy in Aldrich''s ear.


    Nedved, Schneider, Bute, Southgate... Aldridge embraced each player, and in the end, he came to Shevchenko wearing the Ukrainian flag.


    For players from non-mainstream league countries, there are not many moments to reach the highest peak of the European Champions Cup, especially like Ukraine. Although there are factors in the disintegration of Eastern Europe that have not occurred in the past few years, Ukrainian players can win the Champions League. Perhaps Shevchenko is now the first, and Aldrich is not sure, if not, it is absolutely rare.


    Shevchenko burst into tears when she embraced with Aldridge. The two hugged tightly. Shevchenko choked with gratitude in his ear.


    He is leaving.


    Unlike Stam who reached an agreement with Manchester United in advance to leave, Shevchenko expressed his intention to leave to Aldridge half a year ago, but he strictly adheres to the player''s duty and he has never had private contact with AC Milan. It was Aldridge and Galliani who agreed to let Andrew tell Shevchenko.


    In the event that the player wants to leave, Aldridge is already very open.


    Solskjaer, Pires, Vieira, Stam, there are many good players who left under his command. He can already face these with his ordinary heart. At the same time, he is more concerned about the players. Shevchen Co dreams of AC Milan, Aldridge blesses him without any obstacles on the road to his dream.


    Fans and players of the crazy lion watched Aldridge cuddle with Shevchenko strangely, too long? And Shevchenko''s excitement is beyond imagination.


    Some players probably guessed something, but did not ask. At this moment, it is not the time to talk about parting sadly.


    After embracing with the players, Aldridge stood alone in the center of the field, looking at the award-winning grandstand with his hands on his hips. The surrounding cameras were always aimed at him. The young head coach wrote a football legend today. On his 22nd birthday, he led his team to the top of Europe!


    The awards ceremony began soon, Aldridge came to the end. When he stepped up the stairs, the audience on both sides applauded him and his team in unison, and excited female fans hugged him and kissed him...


    "Son, son, son!"


    At the corner of the podium, Arthur stood there, with his family and Rowling mother and daughter beside him. Arthur made no secret of his love for Aldridge. When Aldridge came over, he grabbed Aldrich Qi, and then wrapped around his neck, repeating like a neuropathy: "Son, you are too great, too great, too great..."


    In the end, Andrew and Barnett took the power of nine cows and two tigers to pull Arthur away, otherwise Oddridge was delayed to receive the award.


    The guests invited by UEFA, Aldridge almost did not know, but it did not prevent him from courteously talking to them. Finally, UEFA President John Pine bent down to talk to Aldridge for a long time before giving He hung a medal.


    "Head, come here!"


    Southgate and Nedved stood on the left and right, and Southgate suddenly wanted Aldridge to come over and win the trophy.


    But Aldridge smiled and shook his head, saying: "If you don''t want to hold it up, many people will rush to take your place."


    Southgate turned his eyes to his hot teammates, and then looked at Nedved, the two held up the trophy high, left and right, the fireworks salute, they shouted excitedly: "Milwall, King of Europe!"


    The players took the trophy to take a group photo below. Aldridge went to the post-match press conference after participating in the first group photo.


    When the players and their families celebrated this milestone moment of glory on the court, Aldridge just walked into the press conference and heard deafening applause.


    The reporters at the scene stood up and applauded, staring at Aldridge while still nodding, which was a tribute.


    Aldridge sat down with a smile, and suddenly a reporter asked: "Mr. Hall, you should put on a suit. To be honest, now we take a picture of you, which really damages your image."


    Aldridge spread his hands helplessly and said, "But I lost my suit."


    "lost?"


    "Well, I put it on the seat during the game. I just looked for it. I don''t know who was taken it. I didn''t find it anyway."


    "Uh... are there any important items lost?"


    "No, it is estimated that what you said, the image is lost."


    He now looks a little sloppy, with obvious traces of dirt on his body, that is, he was pressed against the turf to stain his shirt.


    Aldridge sat down and the reporters asked questions in order.


    "Let''s talk about the tactics in the finals. Before the game, we predicted that Millwall would continue to use defensive counter-attack tactics, but during the game, we saw Millwall have been taking a radical offensive play. Why did they make changes?"


    Aldrich was calm and able to talk and laugh at the moment.


    "I have reiterated countless times that I am not an immutable coach. For different games and different opponents, I will let the team take the tactics that I think are most suitable, maybe effective, maybe invalid. Today''s tactics are played in the game. I am satisfied with the effect afterwards and it has been very helpful for us to win the championship.


    The reporters nodded. They thought that if it weren''t for Millwall''s bad luck, the game should be over within 90 minutes.


    "Can you comment on Real Madrid''s performance?"


    "This is a great opponent, and I have to admit that their ability to seize the opportunity is stronger, we have created more offensive offense, but after 120 minutes, the score is 3:3, and finally passed the penalty kick The battle won the championship."


    "Millwall won the championship for the first time in the Champions League. Does this mean that Millwall starts to imagine the next championship? Your lineup is so young that you have every chance to hit the second, third and even more Champions League trophy. "


    Faced with this problem, Aldridge shook his head after a moment of contemplation: "I will not think about the second Champions League trophy now. It is disrespect to the players. Although we won the championship with an undefeated record, this is the player. We have made great efforts and serious achievements. If I talk about the second Champions League trophy, it will seem how easy it is to win the championship. No, I don¡¯t think so. Now my team and I only need to do one. One thing, just one thing, that is to celebrate, to celebrate the honor this season''s hard work earns, this is what the players deserve, the future, when the time comes when I should think about it, then discuss."


    ...


    Aldrich did not talk about the future at the press conference, which made the reporters have many suspicions.


    No matter what other people think, Aldridge led the carnival team to glorious triumph!

 Chapter 329： Summer of france

    Millwall, who returned to London with the European Championship trophy, not only stimulated Millwall fans, but also stimulated two London neighbors.


    Chelsea won the European Cup of Winners a few days in advance. The Arsenal FA Cup defeated Newcastle United and won the double crown this season.


    After these two clubs struggled for many years, suddenly the waist was hard and they could take out the trophy to show off, but the dead neighbor Millwall, who hated his teeth, was actually **** with the big European ears. The cup is back!


    London fans are proud.


    In this year, English football has nothing to do with Liverpool and Manchester. Three domestic trophies, two were received by Arsenal, one was won by Millwall, and the European Championship with the most influential European war was also won by Millwall. In return, Chelsea won this honor as the England team after Millwall won the European Cup Winners'' Cup last year.


    London is not only the focus of English football, but also the focus of European football.


    This makes Fleet Street more arrogant: England football is back to its peak!


    A series of activities such as a huge parade to win the championship, a celebration at home, interaction with fans and so on lasted for a week. Finally, the players packed their bags and returned home, some went directly to the national team to report, preparing for the World Cup in France .


    Millwall¡¯s management has not yet entered the holiday. CEO Adam is busy dealing with sponsors. Not only is the old contract to be renewed, new sponsors are also coming, and it is conservatively estimated that before the start of the new season, Millwall There will be more than 20 business partners, and sponsorship income will more than double than last year.


    The new sponsorship of the team¡¯s chest advertisement has been finalized, Standard Chartered Bank has defeated all competitors, and Puma¡¯s jersey sponsorship has also been successfully reached with the contract doubling as a contract renewal condition.


    Millwall''s prosperity has led to the growth of business value with excellent competitive results. At the same time, they tirelessly promoted and cooperated with excellent records and began to receive generous returns.


    Only the number of registered members on the official website has exceeded 300,000. The club has also received letters from fan organizations in other countries to help them set up a foreign website for the team approved by Millwall.


    This year is the World Cup. As a person in the football world, Aldridge doesn¡¯t want to stay in the UK, especially London, because he will be harassed, invitations to some programs, and even invitations to comment on guests on site, reviews and interviews after the game, etc. The newspaper has self-knowledge and will not stick to you like a dog skin plaster, but the tabloid is different. Those paparazzi are always annoying. You must say a few words before you stop, and then you will repeat the trick the next day.


    Carter invited Aldridge to travel to Switzerland in the summer. After thinking about it, Aldridge agreed, but before he left, it was a group trip. Aldridge would bring some friends with him.


    Leo training base.


    The youth team did not put on a holiday, but training in summer was more relaxed.


    Some homesick players have been approved to take a leave to return to their hometown.


    Aldridge and Andrew stood beside the deserted court, watching the 7VS7 half-court match on the field.


    Now those young players'' eyes on Aldridge have changed.


    Before it was respect, now it is awe.


    Aldrich didn''t know what little children like Aguero, Messi, Ronaldo feared him.


    It is estimated that he won the Champions League, and the coach level has improved a lot, making them involuntarily afraid of Aldridge.


    Inside the stadium are a group of U15 youth teams playing football. After the World Cup, they will represent Millwall in the first Millwall Charity Cup. The leading figures are 13-year-old Ronaldo and 15-year-old De Rossi.


    Watching Ronaldo play football is anxious.


    Cristiano Ronaldo is very strong in training, not afraid of the earth, and just likes to be the protagonist, but his ability is absolutely crushed among his peers, so he usually jumped to the U16 echelon in training, with players under the age of 16. Train together.


    There are many problems he wants to get rid of.


    One of them is that he likes to play football in his own way.


    In layman''s terms, it is a person who plays on the field, and can often watch him take the ball alone, break the ball, break the ball, and then be pushed into the dead by the defensive player, but the teammates are often out of position. It¡¯s not that his teammates didn¡¯t have the consciousness to run, but his teammates didn¡¯t even know when Ronaldo would pass the ball. When he passed, when no one received it, Ronaldo would complain loudly that the teammate had not kept up with his rhythm...


    This phenomenon has changed little by little, which is why Aldridge let Cristiano Ronaldo jump training. His peers can''t prevent him and can''t keep up with him, but talented players who are two or three years older than him Different, the physical conditions restrained Ronaldo, and his personal performance was continuously reduced. Ronaldo gradually realized that his kicking method was unreliable and was slowly improving. At least he worked hard with Mullenstin to practice his personal skills. More, often secretly practice at night.


    The situation of Messi and Aguero is ideal. The technical talents of the two are undoubtedly. The technical moves they can make are much more coherent than their peers. Plus the age of the two is the youngest in the echelon. Teammates take good care of them. The two usually take care of themselves and receive the most care. They both won applause and praise on the training ground. The days are very moist. Sometimes Odridge will take them out to go shopping and eat, after all, they are I came to Europe from South America at such a young age that I should always take them out to meet the world, get familiar with the environment, and strengthen my sense of belonging.


    When the players began to take a break, De Rossi ran over, took a bottle of water and unscrewed a few sips, and asked Aldridge while wiping his sweat: "Boss, are you coming to play in summer?"


    "What game? World Cup?"


    "No, the Charity Cup."


    Aldrich shook his head: "No, I''m going to travel."


    De Rossi was very depressed. He was the captain of the team sent by Millwall this time.


    Andrew smiled next to him: "Are you going to let him watch your performance in the game and bring you to the first team next season?"


    De Rossi scratched his head and said, "Is this impossible?"


    Aldridge rolled his eyes and chuckled twice.


    Of course not.


    With his 15-year-old body, what do he do in the first team?


    Playing the Premier League is abused, playing the reserve team is abolished.


    "Are you confident to win the championship?"


    Andrew stared at De Rossi with a playful look.


    De Rossi frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "It should be fine."


    He looked back at his teammates.


    The boy on the front line is Ronaldo.


    Midfielder depends on him and Jenas.


    Anyway, just press the opponent to attack.


    After he left, Aldridge turned to Andrew and sighed, "Did you be so crazy when you were 15 years old?"


    Andrew shrugged and passed.


    "Have you thought about it?"


    After being urged, Aldridge sighed and smiled bitterly: "It seems that Millwall''s supermarket is really about to open."


    Andrew interfaced: "I think this is a good thing. These players have won the highest honors of the club. In addition, they won the league championship last year. To be honest, their aggressiveness will be a question. Furthermore, the club sells is to give Newcomers make room, otherwise what are you doing with the youth team? Since they want to leave, you stay strong, they are unhappy, and you feel awkward when you see them.


    Aldridge stared straight at Andrew and asked, "I sold all of them, will I be relegated next season?"


    Andrew also asked: "Do you need to let me tell you if you want to develop players'' abilities?"


    Aldridge pouted.


    On the second day of winning the European Champions Cup, the bidding quotations of the European giants were not accidentally sent to Millwall.


    Who is on the buying list?


    Even Bout, there are as many as three first-tier clubs to buy, and the names of other players are all connected with the real giants.


    It is Nedved, Larsson, Southgate, Schneider, Bute, Pirlo, Makelele that will definitely leave their position to the agent.


    In addition to Shevchenko''s previous departure plan, three other people also had a decision to go. It was a decision, not an idea, an idea. Perhaps it was already in mind.


    Trezeguet also wants to go to Italy, he thinks he has conquered England, it is time to go to striker touchstone''s Serie A to meet new challenges.


    Elgra''s agent is his uncle. As a Spanish, he wants Elgra to go to Real Madrid to wear a noble shirt. Elgra also has this intention.


    Capdevila¡¯s desire to leave is not a competitive factor. He can¡¯t adapt to the life in London. Here, besides playing football, he has almost no extra-work activities, because he can¡¯t integrate into the environment here, and he can¡¯t stand it. The weather in London, or the sunny Spain, made him yearn for it. Aldrich did not doubt his reason, because he offered to transfer the club to A Coru?a, not two other Real Madrid. And Barcelona, ??if he was dedicated to entering the giants, he went to Real Madrid as a substitute. If he wants to shake Carlos'' main position, there is no hope for five years.


    There is another person who wants to leave, Barak.


    He came to the club four years ago, but Pirlo, who came to the team three years ago, pressed him on the bench. Especially as Pirlo grew older, his body became stronger and the density of the game increased. Even more compressed Barack''s appearances.


    The three main midfielders established by Aldridge, Makelele, Pirlo, Nedved, and their respective functions run perfectly. Barack is indeed only a substitute in the Aldridge plan, but Barak does not want to play a substitute. In order to enter the German national team faster.


    In particular, he couldn¡¯t see the hope that nature would become the main force at all. Millwall¡¯s three midfielders were all in the year of playing, and Pirlo was only twenty years old. Barrack could only sit unless someone left or had a serious injury. Stable main force.


    Aldridge couldn¡¯t blame Barak¡¯s ideas, especially if the other party talked openly with himself.


    The opponent is not a man with a higher heart than fate and thinner than paper. It is really a collection of Millwallian tigers. He can¡¯t see the day when he is in the first place. It¡¯s not his strength. It¡¯s Aldridge. Aldridge prefers Pirlo. The creativity, coupled with the guarantee of Makelele¡¯s defense, unless under special circumstances, he does not need to delay the organization of the core to allocate more capabilities to ensure the defense line, but uses the offensive to compress the opponent¡¯s offense, which is itself a kind of More successful defense!


    Transfers should be fast or not slow, but in the World Cup year, how to wait until the end of the World Cup to come into operation, Aldridge first suppressed these transfers, while also preparing for the departure of these players.


    Before the World Cup in France, Aldridge had a place to go before vacation.


    Brussels, Belgium.


    In a business meeting room of a hotel.


    There are high-back chairs at both ends of the long table, with an English abbreviation written on the front of the chair.


    On the back of the first chair on the left hand of the head read: A.


    There are chairs like B, I, J next to them.


    In the middle, M is written on two adjacent chairs.


    The door of the meeting room was pushed open, and people kept coming in. They dressed in suits and shoes, and looked for the letters on the backrest chairs.


    On the chairs on both sides of the long table, it was very clear to see that the chairman of Barcelona was sitting on the chair of letter B, and the chairman of Ajax was sitting on the chair of letter A.


    Galliani, Moratti, Mogi, Sens, etc. There are 13 people sitting here, and beside the only vacant seat, Manchester United President Edwards frowned and stared at the letter on the chair: M .


    Is it wrong?


    It should be L.


    Liverpool.


    While 13 people were waiting, footsteps were heard outside the door. They turned their heads and saw a young and handsome blond young man with one hand in his pockets, strode into the conference room, turned and closed the door, and walked straight to Edwards, Open the chair and sit down.


    Edwards looked like a ghost and his eyes widened incredulously: "Aldrich Hall! Why are you here?"


    Aldrich asked in response: "Why? It turns out that you want the Liverpool chairman to come here?"


    Edwards said sharply: "Milwall is not worthy of being here!"


    Aldridge smiled and said nothing.


    Galliani calmly said: "Millwall is the champion team in England and also won the European Championship. The impact of these two years in European football cannot be ignored."


    Aldridge and Galliani glanced at each other in a secret manner.


    "No, no, Millwall is not enough for our level."


    Edwards still insisted.


    Galliani said helplessly: "Then vote to see it."


    When the representatives of Real Madrid, Juventus, Inter Milan and AC Milan took the lead in raising their hands to agree, the presidents of other clubs also raised their hands in succession. Although not all, Barcelona did not agree, but there were still ten votes.


    Aldridge turned his head to look at Edwards, the other party had no choice but to acquiesce Millwall to replace Liverpool for their meeting.


    Aldridge looked around the representatives of the big clubs, some of them lobbied by Galliani, and some wanted to do business with Millwall to get Aldridge to vote in the same way.


    In any case, Millwall came here, whether or not there are wealthy background and background, at least, it is to play games with the wealthy.


    In the summer of 1998, the first generation of mad lion swept across Europe under the command of young commander Aldridge.


    G14 brewed the European Super League, which kicked off the war with UEFA.


    Forever the "strongest in history" England team came back in France.


    The Lion King Stadium is expected to be completed in less than two years...


    Volume 5 Dynasty Overture

 Chapter 330： One billion

    With the increasingly advanced television broadcasting technology, the benefits of football games through broadcasting have increased rapidly, and the value of star players has only risen. The operating costs of the club have been increasing. In order to pursue profits and reduce business risks, the G14 organization came into being.


    Edwards took the "European Super League" that he often talked about at the Premier League boss round table to the G14 meeting. Although this organization has not yet been formally established, when forming the prototype, there is a goal and position to let everyone Bundle together.


    This is to fight against the UEFA Chamber. There is no doubt that UEFA is just the organizer. Its biggest brand is the Champions League, and the pillars of the UEFA Champions League are all these European clubs. Therefore, the clubs are united in order to obtain more benefits. , And then put pressure on UEFA, this is a kind of "class struggle" common in all walks of life.


    "European Premier League" is just a vision, but this vision is enough to panic UEFA, Aldridge almost silent during the first G14 meeting, he has self-knowledge, he sits here is only a supporting role, and is very unremarkable The supporting role of this organization needs the most influential club in Europe to join. Compared to history, Millwall is definitely not as good as Liverpool, nor is it comparable to the teams that have won the Champions League here, but Milwaukee, which has set off a youth storm in Europe in the past two years Well, there is no doubt that it has enough popularity strength. At least, Millwall compares to Dortmund, Ajax and Ligue 1 teams. No one dares to say that Millwallson is inferior to them in terms of influence.


    However, Aldridge put his position in place, but he didn''t listen to it. If he really talked, he would only be offensive and rejected.


    Millwall was able to join here, because he already had a bargain, so he didn''t have to be too tight.


    At the very least, G14 is a quantitative expression of a club''s status in Europe.


    They held a secret meeting in Brussels, but the organization was not mysterious and did not want to be mysterious. After they reached agreement internally, they needed to disclose their decisions and plans to UEFA to hear, or UEFA gave in to them, Either, everybody beats twice, we do the European Super League ourselves, not to participate in the Champions League, to see who wins and who loses.


    In addition to attending this meeting for the first time, Aldridge will not attend the G14 summit in the future, but will be represented by Adam. In fact, this organization will also be stunned in the future, forcing UEFA to reform, the UEFA Champions League schedule has been changed very strangely, the game More games, indeed more broadcast income, and more bonuses, but let the giants fall into the quagmire when multi-line combat, multi-line combat that could not be taken into account at the end, it is not surprising that the chicken fly egg fight.


    UEFA began to contact the heads of these giants immediately after hearing the news of the rebellion of the European giants. However, everyone formed an alliance and agreed in advance. UEFA has no plans to do anything, and it has begun to brew the UEFA Champions League next season. The regulations, the 98/99 season is impossible to change, there is no room for time.


    The World Cup in France was in full swing, Audridge and Ewen, Brady, Sol, the four and Carter and some of his friends went on a trip to Switzerland, skiing in summer, do not have a tasteful.


    Before the World Cup ended, England fell into a mixture of anger and disappointment.


    England-Afghanistan war, England was eliminated again. This time it was not the miracle of Maradona¡¯s hand and midfield attack that had connected five people. The media and the public aimed at the English supernova Beckham. He irrationally The retaliatory action led to a red card appearance.


    Beckham went directly to the United States to seek comfort from his girlfriend Victoria, and the British media''s condemnation of him became more and more fierce.


    Even when France beat Brazil cleanly in the final, the British media''s condemnation of Beckham is still not over.


    Aldridge has never had a great time in Switzerland, but after the World Cup, his vacation is over.


    Back in London, he held a press conference in mid-July.


    Fleet Street newspaper tabloid reporters swarmed.


    The theme of today''s press conference is that he wants to announce the team''s transfer situation.


    But when he sat down, the reporters under the stage could not wait to raise their hands to ask questions.


    Aldridge was surprised: I didn''t say a word, what do you have to ask?


    Because the outside world did not know the theme of today''s press conference, someone directly raised his hand to ask a question, which made Aldrich puzzled.


    But he still let Richard speak.


    "Coach Hall, how do you think Beckham was sent off with a red card at the World Cup in France?"


    The other reporters put their hands down. It seems that the questions they want to ask are the same.


    About Beckham.


    Just before the start of the World Cup, the British media believed that there are many new generations of English football idols, but the most popular are Aldridge and Beckham, Irving is also exciting, but when the World Cup is over, everyone¡¯s views It changed, after all, Beckham became the sinner of the England national team.


    Aldridge calmly said: "If you are asking about the red card, I think there is no problem, Beckham has revenge, and the referee''s penalty is not controversial."


    "How do you think Diego Simone fell to the ground in exaggeration?"


    "This has nothing to do with Simone¡¯s actions. The nature of Beckham¡¯s foul is a red card action. No matter how big or small the damage is, it¡¯s like I¡¯m walking on the street and attacked by a gangster. Maybe I¡¯m just bruising, but I hold Is it wrong to scream at the wound? Whether or not I exaggerate the injury, the fact of being attacked is not fabricated."


    "So, should Beckham take full responsibility for England''s defeat?"


    Aldrich shook his head and smiled, saying: "I don''t think this is the case. The media is very strange. When Beckham did not play in the group stage, you complained that Hodell did not give Beckham a chance. When he made a mistake, you put it again. He is a sinner. The England national team has coaches and more than 20 players. It¡¯s not all Beckham¡¯s credit for winning. It¡¯s not his responsibility to lose. He¡¯s still young. I believe this experience is right For him, it is a precious experience that will make him more mature in the future and more suitable for the big scene."


    "There is news that Beckham will leave England in the summer."


    "Impossible, Ferguson will not let him go, and I am sure that his stay at Manchester is the most correct for his growth and development. Okay, this is the end of Beckham¡¯s topic. If you want to know me In the end, I can only say one thing: failure is the past, look forward. Beckham is a good player, but he is not a god, please give him more tolerance, he will return England with action. "


    As soon as Aldridge''s voice fell, the scene was quiet.


    In fact, the reporters are not too much to watch the excitement. They fan the flames in the public opinion, causing many extreme fans in England to run to the door of Beckham¡¯s house to abuse and throw stones to attack the mansion. Beckham temporarily left England to take refuge, but also There is no way out of the situation.


    After the reporters put down Beckham''s topic, they looked up at Aldridge and waited for him to reveal the answer to the press conference.


    Aldridge cleared his throat and said calmly: "Today I am here to announce the transfer of several players. The signing of Millwall is in progress. There is no comment yet, but there are a few players who will transfer and leave. "


    The reporters were shocked.


    Several players!


    Millwall This is the rhythm of supermarket opening!


    Good fellow, can''t Ajax in England escape the fate of being hollowed out?


    Aldridge said lightly: "Shevchenko transferred to AC Milan with a transfer fee of 18 million pounds. The transaction has been reached."


    Many reporters have guessed that Shevchenko will transfer. After winning the Champions League final, Shevchenko''s abnormal emotional expression is a sign of leaving the team.


    "Trezeguet''s ¡ê18 million transfer to Juventus."


    The reporters were surprised.


    Fuck, both forwards sold?


    But thinking about it, Trezeguet club''s top honors have been taken, and the World Cup just ended has become the World Cup champion. This kid is really good life!


    However, the situation of Millwall is too surprising. The three main forwards have gone to the second one, Larson? Will he also leave?


    "Barack transferred ¡ê15 million to Real Madrid."


    Barak? !


    That German.


    The reporters looked at each other, Real Madrid bought Barak, may squeeze out Karenbu''s position.


    Barack + Redondo + Seedorf, the combination of these three midfielders is really top.


    In fact, the outside world has always been arguing about whether Barak and Pirlo should occupy the main midfield position of Millwall, and this debate is deadlocked, because each has its own strengths, and now the answer comes out, Barak takes the initiative to leave, Pirlo¡¯s main force No one can shake it.


    Lampard? Even Fleet Street doesn''t think that local rookie Lampard can challenge Pirlo''s status in the short term.


    "Elgra transferred ¡ê20 million to Real Madrid."


    Spanish central defender is going away?


    It¡¯s no wonder that they are going to Real Madrid again. The Spaniards are still joining the top giants in their hometowns. Poor Southgate, watching the partners around him leave one by one, first left Stam, Elgra now gone.


    "Capdevila transferred ¡ê12 million to A Coru?a."


    The Spanish full-back has also returned to his motherland?


    Not to mention that at this stage, the La Liga teams have money, which originated from the broadcast rights war, which has allowed the La Liga club to have a lot of money to enrich the lineup. When Real Madrid and Barcelona sell the broadcast rights separately, the revenue of other La Liga teams will plummet. .


    A Coru?a is ambitious, not only invited Irueta in the summer, but also introduced many powerful cadres in the transfer market, Pauletta, Pablo, Romero, and now Capdevi Pull, if you can really pinch into a synthetic type, the future should not be underestimated.


    The scene was silent, and everyone was waiting for Aldridge to continue to announce.


    Aldridge spread his hands and said, "No, other players have signed a new contract with the club."


    After winning the Champions League, Millwall will make a big leap in the new season regardless of the Champions League bonus broadcast fee or commercial sponsorship income. Therefore, Aldridge directly increased the salary of the first team players by 30%. This is also his usual practice. After waiting for the team¡¯s salary to have a huge gap with the giants¡¯ team, they will talk to the players about salary increase and renewal. In that case, Millwall is very passive both emotionally and posture, and renews the contract early. Players raise salaries, players are happy, the club also sleeps steadily, even if the player wants to transfer, the contract is absolutely safe, and the seller can sell a good price.


    The reporters took a pen and dragged it on the notebook a few times, and then came to a surprising number.


    Grass, Millwall''s net income this summer just started, net income of 83 million pounds!


    You are more ruthless than the real Ajax!


    Counting the transfer market revenue and expenditure in previous years, Millwall made more than 100 million net profits in four years!

 Chapter 331： Transfer recruit

    After Aldridge announced the list of transfer players, the scene was fried.


    The reporters raised their hands to ask questions.


    The focus of the question is two: How is Millwall''s transfer income spent? Who will fill the vacancies left by these five players?


    Aldridge looked calm and calm, but he didn''t have the kind of grievances after being robbed of nearly half of the team''s main force, as if the sky had fallen.


    "We got a lot of transfer income through the departure of these players, part of the money will be invested in the operating costs of the club, part of it will be used to pay off the debt of the new stadium, part of the budget for the summer transfer recruitment, the rest, We will build a new youth football academy next to Leo Training Base."


    In the past, the youth team stayed at the youth training base, which was specially trained. Now Millwall wants to create a more comprehensive youth football academy to provide a more humane environment for young players from all over the world, helping them not only play football Grow, but also provide guidance for them when they cannot become professional players.


    Last year, the Leo training base was expanded, the first team moved into it, and the youth team expanded the echelon. The growth over the same period made the youth team¡¯s space smaller than before. Aldrich¡¯s construction of a new youth football academy is based on actual development needs. The plan made.


    Reporters are more concerned about Millwall''s lineup next season.


    "As the Champions League champion last season, Millwall has released at least four main players in the new season. Although there is sufficient capital income, is the team''s competitiveness next season worrying?"


    Aldrich said: "After these five players left, it was a fact that Millwall''s strength has declined, but I don''t think the team fell into **** from heaven, and Shevchenko and Trezeguet, but we have enough talent reserves to replace them. Fanny¡¯s performance last season proved that he can take the place of Trezeguet. Ronaldinho will also get more opportunities. We There are also Duff, Van der Mead, Glenn Charles, Good Johnson, including Klose who joined the team last season to adapt to the English football season. At the very least, I don¡¯t worry about the forward, and the defender online, Materazzi can completely replace Elgra. If Zambrotta was not affected by injury last season, he may have been the main left back of the team. The only thing worth worrying about is the team''s bench depth. Of course, as I have It is said that Millwall has a rich talent reserve, and we have vigorously invested in the construction of youth training for many years. Of course, I hope that the young men of the youth team can enter the first team after reaching a certain level of strength and become a part of the team¡¯s southern expedition.


    After listening to Aldridge, the reporters at the scene bowed their heads and pondered.


    At first glance, Millwall sold five important players, as if it were a very cruel reality.


    But when I think about it, it seems that there are enough substitutes in every position.


    Fanny picks Trezeguet.


    Ronaldinho picks Shevchenko.


    Materazzi picked Elgra.


    Zambrotta picks up Capdevila.


    Barak was originally competing with Pirlo for the main position, and the main frame of the three midfielders did not move.


    As Aldridge said, Millwall''s team strength has declined slightly in the new season, but it is definitely not a sharp decline. The only thing worrying is the depth of the bench.


    "Then, according to your statement, will Millwall make a big move in the summer? I mean buy direct strength players to add to the first team."


    The reporters probably think the same. According to Aldridge¡¯s style over the past few years, Millwall fans may be in tears again this summer.


    Expecting the team to buy big-name stars to boost morale is probably not realistic.


    Aldridge is now the Champions League Champion. His level has improved a lot. He may have worried about buying a famous star before. Now, he doesn¡¯t worry about this at all, but he has a talent pool and can¡¯t spend the money. Go gamble.


    "No, our recruitment work is in progress. I want to emphasize that Millwall is a rational club. We will not recruit for the purpose of recruitment. We will only make decisions for the club''s reality."


    After the news conference, the news published on Fleet Street the next day caused a sensation.


    Five Millwall stars each have their own future!


    Fans of Mad Lions responded relatively flatly. The experience of the past few years tells them: Millwall doesn''t care which player comes, nor who walks, as long as there is one person who hasn''t changed, that person is Aldridge.


    It''s not so much numbness as it is fans'' absolute trust in Aldridge.


    "The Times" column reporter David Miller published an article: The second generation of mad lions is in the ascendant.


    With the win of the Premier League and the Champions League as the hallmarks, Millwall has created the first generation of mad lions in Europe in the past four years.


    After announcing the transfer of five team players and the absolute departure of last year¡¯s league champion Stam, early departure, half of the main lineup of the first generation of crazy lions has taken off the dark blue jersey.


    After a huge success, it is normal for some players to choose to leave, and in order to continue the glory, the time for the Aldridge to test Aldrich is coming. From the summer of 98, he will start to build the second generation Crazy Lions, although we will still see iconic characters like Larson, Nedved, Southgate, the whole team will inevitably change greatly, and the composition of different players will inevitably require Aldridge Tactical transformation, although it will not be an earth-shaking change, but if it remains unchanged, I am afraid that it is difficult to replicate the miracle of the Champions League in 1998. Therefore, the fans of the Lions can expect the growth of the second generation of Lions, Millwall¡¯s competitors It is necessary to seize the opportunity during this period, otherwise, once Hall¡¯s team becomes extremely powerful again, Hall will prove his nickname with action: trophy harvester!


    Aldridge''s work before the new season officially kicked off. He first had to see off some people, not players but coaches.


    Ben¨ªtez is going back to Spain. Torop was formerly a Belgian player. Ajax took the spotlight. Unfortunately, he did not play in Ajax and turned into a coach. Tolop, 30, is a Mill. The first team of Wall¡¯s coaching staff, Millwall¡¯s success, also has his credit. At the same time, the Belgian Second League club Saint Tourden sent him an invitation. Tolop was given sufficient time and a long-term contract by the promise of the opponent¡¯s boss. In the case of, submitted a resignation to Aldridge.


    In Sand¡¯s bar, Aldridge and the coaching staff practiced here for Benitez and Torop. All night, they remembered the hard work of the past together, and also enjoyed the joy of success after all. The drunken couple spent the night in the bar.


    Millwall directly entered into a termination agreement with Tolopda and Benitez, allowing them to leave freely, avoiding the new owners paying for their contracts and incurring a fee, which would have been little money.


    At the same time, Tolop brought back his experience of studying and summing up in Millwall to Belgium. He wanted to implement a new management model and construction plan at the St. Tourden club. Although the club there was a little simpler, Tolop was full of energy. , He lends players to Millwall, Aldridge suppresses the loan application, and does not want to lend players of age to the past, because the level is too low than B, Millwall youth team like Paulson, Cahill, etc. The 18-year-old youth players have limited improvement when they go there.


    Millwall is now much easier to do the signing work than before.


    In the past, I came to ask for players to join. Now, not only has the team level been improved, but the aura above Aldrich''s head is also shining.


    Especially for young players, Millwall is even more attractive than world-class giants!


    The reason is very simple, go to the giants, the space is almost zero.


    But Millwall is different. Aldridge vigorously promotes young players, daring to use them and using them well. This is evidenced by the record.


    Among the 14 players who made the top of the Champions League, Millwall made his debut. In addition to being young, he was more unknown before coming to the team, but he became the European champion under Audridge!


    The signing process has become easier. Aldrich does not need to come in person. As long as he makes a phone call, young players are basically willing to come to Millwall. Even if there is no guarantee that they will be able to start in Millwall in the future, they will receive training here. It can at least become a good player.


    In addition to Millwall itself, Moyes has also become Millwall''s advertising promoters!


    Moyes, who took over Preston midway last season, was amazing. When he took over the team, the team ranked in the relegation zone. At the end of the season, he led the team to the playoff finals, and finally led the team to defeat the opponent to upgrade success.


    Although he was only promoted from the British Second Division to the First Division, his attention was enough. Among them, the four players he loaned from Millwall contributed to the team¡¯s contribution, Robinson, Cahill, Bresiano, Fei Leila, the performance of these four players in Preston also quickly attracted the attention of other teams. The outside world believes that this is a reflection of Millwall''s youth training, plus the top value of the players they sold before. The sign of Millwall''s youth training has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, with a good reputation.


    In the summer of 1998, the Millwall youth team continued to recruit and buy horses. In the local area, the youth team introduced 17-year-old Crouch, London locals to try out 14-year-old Darren Bent, 16-year-old Jermaine Defoe The 17-year-old goalkeeper Chris Kirkland signed Kevin Nolan at the age of 16, Matthew Taylor at the age of 16, and Lescott at the age of 16 before signing a professional contract in Birmingham.


    Following last year''s youth team recruiting 8 potential local English small players, Millwall again introduced 7 local potential rookies this season.


    Of course, this is the list in Aldridge''s mind. In fact, they recruited nearly 20 English players, but others have not been very popular in the future history or may not even set foot in the top league.


    The Millwall Summer Reserve also sold a lot of players. The names of those players were not loud, but they were favored by the teams in the First Division. A total of six players provided Millwall with nearly 3 million pounds of income.


    This is a virtuous cycle. Mediocre players play football with most excellent players. As long as they are aggressive, at least the achievements are higher than playing with a group of mediocre players.


    After the recruitment of youth teams in England ended, Aldridge turned his attention to other European countries.


    This year he did not plan to go out and wander around, but let the club staff go to activities. If necessary, he would personally communicate with the players by phone.


    Because he is busy with the team''s trip to Asia for the new season.

 Chapter 332： Point out

    The club¡¯s recruitment is still in progress. Aldrich has paid attention to many young players through the Andrew agency¡¯s scouting network. This database is very large in Andrew¡¯s company, and for others, even if you get these The data is not particularly useful, because there are too many players, and one by one can not be investigated, but Aldridge has the bottom of his mind after reading the information.


    Early in the morning, the weather was a little sultry. Aldrich and Ewen jogged in the park. After the jog, the two rested on the fence beside the Thames. Ewen handed her handkerchief she had just wiped sweat to. Aldridge hesitated, but still took it, wiping the sweat on his face naturally.


    Before switching, he didn''t hesitate at all, but after some things were clear, he felt weird.


    Even if the two play together this summer, it seems that there is nothing embarrassing about going out and going in and out, since they are too familiar.


    "The club runs a lap in Asia, does it affect the new season?"


    Yiwen asked with some concern.


    Aldridge breathed a sigh of relief, saying: "No way, commercial development sometimes requires the team to make some sacrifices, not taking advantage of the Champions League''s momentum to gain popularity, and rescheduling in the future may not be the best. effect."


    If we simply consider the competitive factors, Aldridge does not support the team¡¯s preparations for the summer in Asia. The time difference between the teams and the players¡¯ distractions in commercial activities are all negative factors for the new season. However, from The club''s long-term departure, expanding business channels and the club''s international influence, this is the only way, and the timing is also very rare. The team has just won the Champions League, a new era of rapid development of media communication, this time to open up the market, it is to catch up The best time for giants to get popular.


    Yi Wenchao smiled and said to him: "Do I need to accompany you?"


    Aldridge said without looking back: "No, I heard that my popularity is not low in Asia."


    The Millwall Club quickly launched its Asian tour in late July. The Shinco European Championship will play five friendly matches in Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, China, Guangzhou, and Singapore, with an average stay of two days in each place, although Millwall is in A lot of main players have been lost in the summer, but there are players such as Larson, Nedved, etc., plus the not-so-popular new-generation football idol Aldridge, when Millwall arrived at Tokyo Airport, Detonating the enthusiasm of the whole city, the sight of the tens of thousands of people all scared the European players who have not been to Asia: they think the Japanese are crazy!


    Although the friendly match is the second in the first match, Millwall has a strong strength, especially their technical and physical advantages. In five consecutive friendly matches, they have won five consecutive victories without being able to play. Aldridge Following the old habit, the team replaced 11 players in the second half, and took the opportunity to inspect the player status.


    The Asian tour is actually about making money. On the one hand, it promotes the club to attract fans, on the other hand, it directly reaches cooperation agreements with sponsors.


    However, some sponsors really made Audridge feel speechless.


    Big companies in Japan and South Korea hope to help Millwall sponsor their players to land in the Premier League, and they will pay for both transfer fees and salaries, as long as the players can wear Millwall shirts.


    In the face of such a proposal, Aldridge directly refused without hesitation. Although Millwall will increase his income and there is an unplanned idler on the team, he will smash the signboard and also make Millwall attacked. Become a slave to money.


    It was already early August when I returned to London. The new season Premier League will kick off on August 14th, and Millwall does not have to participate in the community shield competition, just waiting for the league to start.


    In the office, Aldridge checked the progress of the team¡¯s recruitment.


    The club¡¯s working team brought Viana from Portugal and three from France. In addition to Le Talay belonging to the category of Chong Yongyong, the other two will be loud in the future, the first is Warcraft Drogba, 20-year-old Drogba differs from other stars early in the show, but he is not a late master. Before the age of 20, he has been in a state of "playing around" until he was 20 years old. Realizing that he had to make a living by playing football, when Millwall¡¯s team sent him an invitation and proposed a contract, he readily agreed, because he tried in many big clubs in France, and the results were rejected. .


    The other is 17-year-old Patrice Evra.


    From the German amateur team, Millwall brought back 18-year-old defender Christopher Metzelder and 17-year-old midfielder Hano Balic.


    Two Spanish players returned to their homeland in the summer, and Millwall brought back a younger player from Spain, 17-year-old Joaquin Sanchez Rodriguez.


    Aldridge intends to go to the youth team for a lap, picking a few substitutes to enter the first team, but he just walked out of the office door, but saw Good Johnson standing in the door with a hesitant look.


    "Something?"


    Aldrich asked curiously. During his trip to Asia, Goodjohnson was very worried. Aldrich did not care. He was not the kind of person who had to ask everything.


    GoodJohnson nodded heavily, and seemed to have made great determination.


    Aldridge turned around and walked back to the office. After GoodJohnson sat down, Aldridge also went back to his desk and waited for the other to express his intentions.


    "Boss, in the new season, I will be a substitute, right?"


    He heard such a question, Aldridge sighed. In fact, he hoped that these players did not have any thoughts, just like a puppet.


    He nodded and said: "Yes, although I don''t want to say that, you are not the number one choice in the offensive four, but you have the potential, at least you have to have a tacit understanding with your teammates, then you have You need to be patient when you compete for the main position."


    GoodJohnson said after a moment of silence: "But I think more games will keep me improving."


    Aldridge was in deep contemplation, and the shortcomings of the team''s young lineup were also reflected.


    Young bench players can''t see hope!


    At least Good Johnson has no advantage in competing with Larson, Ronaldinho, and Fanny. Even if his personal ability is reached, tacit understanding is also a problem.


    These main players are young again. How long will it take him to get ahead?


    This is where Barak left.


    Aldridge was also free and easy and asked softly, "Are you determined?"


    Good Johnson nodded.


    "Okay, I agree to your transfer. The club will list you. Good luck in the future."


    Aldridge stood up and formally shook hands with each other. GoodJohnson held Aldrich¡¯s right hand with both hands and said in a deep voice: "Boss, although I have only stayed here for a year, I am very grateful to you for my help."


    Aldridge smiled and shook his head.


    Grateful, grateful, grateful, he is grateful to many players, but this is not what he wants most...


    On the contrary, if the opponent can stay, Aldridge will be grateful to the other side, just like Glenn Charles, he can listen to the advice of Aldridge. He has a stable playing opportunity every season and will play hard once he plays.


    The night of pushing Goodjohnson into the market, Aldridge got another bad news.


    Millwall¡¯s work team asked the Red Star Belgrade to buy Vidic, the young player of the opponent. The club agreed to let it go, but the player refused.


    The other party must not have obtained a labor certificate, and Aldridge cannot apply for a genius clause for a defender. If the FA passes, then the backdoor will be too open.


    The plan proposed by Millwall is to introduce the other party, and then lease it to Belgium. After three years, Vidic obtains the EU passport and returns to Millwall.


    But Vidic did not accept this arrangement.


    Aldridge didn''t lose much in his heart. If he missed it, he missed it. In the future, if there is still a chance to win the opponent.


    The next day, when Aldridge appeared on the side of the training ground of the youth team, the atmosphere of the entire training ground changed, and the young players trained as if they had played hard.


    Najib said to Audridge: "It''s better to come as a part-time youth team coach."


    Aldridge had a big roster in mind for the new season.


    Now he doesn''t need to pile up too many players to enter the first team, because the main active age is up, the rotation does not need to be too frequent, and he can insist on playing more games than two years ago three years ago.


    Basically, it is enough to ensure that there are rotation players in each position. Unless there is a large-scale injury or stoppage, a large list of 23-24 people is enough for a season.


    Aldrich turned his head and said to Najib: "Call Ashley."


    Najib turned to the assistant who was not far away, and Ashley Cole, who was returning from the field with his teammates, was called alone.


    When coming to Aldrich, Ashley Cole smiled excitedly.


    "Why are you laughing?"


    Aldrich felt strange.


    Ashley Cole said, "Boss, did you ask me to go to the first team?"


    "Huh? How do you know?"


    "Because the first team is missing."


    Aldrich pouted, Capdevila¡¯s transfer undoubtedly made Ashley Cole happy, the same thing is not uncommon in the club, Trezeguet and Shevchenko transfer, who is the most happy? Fanny!


    "In the new season, you will enter the first team roster and train with the first team. If you can''t enter the game roster, go to the reserve team. Don''t be too happy."


    Ashley Cole nodded quickly when he heard the words. He turned his head and concealed a face at Joe Cole and David Villa, seeming to show off.


    Joe Cole and Villa both pointed at his **** at the same time.


    Grass, if it were not for our young age, we would have gone to the first team!


    Aldridge then called Paul Ferreira to the front, and also informed the opponent to enter the first team in the new season.


    He does not plan to transfer the central defender from the youth team, because the central defender needs strong physical qualities. The outstanding young players of the central defenders under the age of 18 must go through a tempering process, and the first team Mills attacks the weak and defends the strong. Let him play as a substitute for Schneider, the offensive power will be greatly reduced, it is no problem to make him a guest central defender when needed, plus there is also a millionaire Neal can also play the central defender, after Elgra leaves, the central defender position There will be no shortage of people.


    Aldridge was pacing back and forth on the sidelines, Ferreira and Cole were talking, they were already excited at the moment, and the other players were staring at them with envy, jealousy and hate, and also looking forward to Aldridge Call yourself.


    Aldridge is calculating. The midfielder is not in the midfield position. There are still four players. Gattuso and Lampard play off the bench. There is no need to add extras. Does Nedved need to be replaced?


    If the Czech Ironman does not rotate, he can really stick to it.


    Aldridge finally shook his head. Forget it. Ronaldinho could also play in that position. Occasionally changed his tactics, and he didn''t need to set a front waist when rotating.


    Good Johnson, who was originally on the front line, is going to go. There are a lot of clubs buying him. The key is how he chooses, and he will definitely go.


    Aldridge suddenly looked up and asked Najib: "How is that Ramor?"


    What happened when the former Liverpool prodigy came to Millwall for a year?

 Chapter 333： Waiting for your expression

    Although Najib is in charge of the construction of the youth team, he will also pay attention to the situation of the reserve team. In terms of player growth, ability evaluation, and status inspection, Audridge trusts Najib very much. Whenever he needs to adjust the lineup to enable the non-first team standing main force At that time, Najib¡¯s opinions were the first he would listen to.


    "Ramor, if you only watch him training, you still think he is a genius, skill, physical fitness, running position, coordination consciousness, everything is okay, but in the game, he will avoid confrontation intentionally or unintentionally, serious injury plus The shadow of Doncaster has not disappeared in his mind. In the second half of last season, after Ronaldinho left the reserve team, Lamor''s performance began to improve, but I don''t think he is ready to report to the first team. Let¡¯s wait and see if he can further overcome the psychological shadow of physical confrontation in the reserve team in the new season."


    Najib''s words are very pertinent. He will not recommend the players because the first team needs a striker. That is unprofessional and will lay hidden dangers for the first team''s record.


    When it comes to players, seeking truth from facts is the first principle.


    Aldridge nodded when he heard the words and said nothing more.


    This kind of thing cannot be forced, and the player''s ability to do so is a realistic issue, which has nothing to do with his subjective will.


    "If some players need to go out for exercise on loan, then you can consider it and make a list for me. I have a lot of low-level club loan requests."


    Aldrich chatted with Najib and took Ferreira and Cole to the first team.


    Najib will decide the fate of the young players based on his judgment. If he thinks that some players have reached the first team level, he will definitely recommend it to Aldridge as soon as possible. If not, the youth team or the reserve league is not suitable. This player is further improved, and loaning out is a good way to exercise, but it should also be treated with care and seek the most suitable exercise environment for the player.


    This kind of work is not easy, because the first team of Millwall is full of talents. The higher the level, the more difficult it is for the youth team players to squeeze in. Players like Paulson and Cahill, who are already 18 years old, go to England. The first-level team can already play the main force, but in the Millwall first team, the bench can not be played.


    Of course, they still have room to grow, and the loan is to tap the potential, but the potential of different players is naturally different. If the coaches determine that the player¡¯s potential reaches the limit but it is still not enough for the first team level, then the players are listed and let them leave to suit their level. The club''s career is also a very good result. Perhaps these mid- and downstream teams, these players are valued, can break into a world.


    At night, someone invited Aldridge to dinner.


    The head coach of the Shinco Champions League and former Champions League members sat in a high-end restaurant.


    Martin O''Neill.


    The opponent once won the Champions League twice under the legendary coach Clough, which is the glory of the player era, Audridge can not compare, but in terms of the level of coach, Audridge is clearly better than O''Neill.


    Martin O''Neill is also a blockbuster coach, but the sensation of his coaching fame is not strongly impactful. In the Premier League two decades later, people will always say how well Moyes led Everton''s small business. In fact, Martin O''Neill is more impressive than Moyes.


    Since he led the City of Leicester to overtake, Leicester City has never been in the predicament of the relegation battle, and is ranked in the middle of the Premier League every year. The honour room can also add trophy honors. This record is comparable to Moyes. The veteran powerhouse Everton nearly relegated the record ups and downs more outstanding.


    "Usually you don''t see any difference between players. When they are good, they are very good. When they are bad, it makes people feel depressed. When you always think that the team can play better, but the players don''t seem to think so. They I feel that the results that have been achieved are the best, and no effort can get more rewards. This is probably the difference in temperament between the strong team and the weak team."


    O''Neill sent a few complaints to Audridge. After hearing it, Audridge only laughed. It was probably a complaint that had been pressed against the other party for half a year.


    Small teams have the limitations of small teams, and rising to a high level is a matter of team temperament.


    Leicester City ranked in the top seven of the Premier League at the end of the last half of the season, but only 11th in the Premier League at the end of the season. The crux of the team¡¯s record decline is obvious: once the record declines, it is pushed out of the upstream group, the team His impulse and anger suddenly lost half.


    "Then you can try to change the environment. I heard that Tottenham didn''t intend you to replace Francis?"


    As a friend, Aldridge can only explain him this way.


    Leicester City does not have the capital to complete a major exchange, so it is impossible for players to replace O''Neill with a batch of players. Then O''Neal will either move the nest or continue to endure this situation.


    It''s easy to understand. Leicester City''s overall strength is estimated to be the downstream grade every year. Once they get the middle and upper rankings, the players are satisfied.


    Many teams want to dig O''Neal to coach. He can lead Leicester City in the middle of the Premier League for two consecutive years. This achievement is no less than the achievement of the middle and upper teams to squeeze into the top three.


    O''Neill shook his head slightly and sighed, "I''m not too willing to give up. I went to a new team. Everything has to be overturned. Not every team can accept my management model and technical and tactical system."


    Aldrich nodded in agreement. O''Neal knew that the two were considered to be the same.


    During the dinner, the two chatted a lot about football. After the dinner, O''Neill asked Audridge: "Can Good Johnson sell it to me?"


    Aldridge tapped on the table lightly and smiled: "But it is not Leicester City that is the highest bidder."


    "Are you going to sell him to Chelsea?"


    Aldridge chuckled and said, "Well, ¡ê51 million, I don¡¯t want to worry about it. In fact, I called Good Johnson before dinner and told him that the club agreed to Leicester City. Offer."


    Martin O''Neill widened his eyes unbelievably: "Why didn''t you say it early?"


    Aldridge smiled at his face: "Because I''m waiting for you now!"


    There are many clubs that want to buy Good Johnson, even Manchester United are involved, but Good Johnson left to play for the main force, go to the giants or strong teams, he is mostly still a substitute, so the middle and lower teams will give him a starting position The team is the first choice.


    The highest bid was Chelsea, with an offer of 8 million pounds.


    But Aldridge doesn''t want to do business with Chelsea. They are dead enemies. No matter if there are Millwall players who will play for Chelsea in the future, at least he can''t allow Millwall players to transfer directly to Chelsea.


    Leicester City only offered 6 million pounds, this price is not low, O''Neill wants to make Goodjohnson and Tony form a double forward. The two forwards produced by Millwall have their own characteristics and can be complementary in tactics. I think this is an important foundation for Leicester City to achieve greater achievements. At the same time, Leicester City has signed a defender Sinclair from Chelsea for two million pounds to strengthen the defense.


    Tony scored 17 league goals in Leicester City last season, only one difference to get the Premier League Golden Boots, the team is ranked in the middle, the bonus is at least more than the team behind, plus the Premier League broadcast With a substantial increase in income, it is still possible for the team to invest nearly ten million pounds. The pressure on the salary system of their team is not great, and there is room for growth.


    Martin O''Neill smiled dumbly. He shook his head and sighed at Aldridge: "I still want to talk to you about the price."


    "Although 6 million pounds is not a reflection of Good Johnson¡¯s future worth, but he only played on the bench at Millwall last year. The Leicester City offer is sincere and should be the limit of your transfer budget. This In terms of time, I don¡¯t want to delay the time, some players want to go, then go as soon as possible, so as not to stay in the team and affect the military."


    O''Neill sighed: "Yes, 6 million is the highest price we can give, even if it is 500,000 higher, we can''t afford it."


    It sounds like 500,000 to 1,000,000, but in this era, it may be the salary cost of a major player for one or two years. The small clubs are careful and budgetary, and the budget must be carefully planned. Aldridge also takes this into consideration. I don''t want to bargain with Leicester City. It doesn''t make much sense. There will be no big progress if you are struggling to the end.


    The two formally shook hands again before going out of the hotel together. This scene was captured by the squatting paparazzi. While Good Johnson was still considering, Fleet Street published an article prediction: Good Johnson will transfer to Leicester City. The team, after Tony, flew to O''Neal''s Millwall forward for the second time.


    Goodjohnson almost didn''t have any intersection with Tony. When he came to the team, Tony was no longer on the team. Occasionally, he could meet when he came back to receive technical special training during the loan period.


    But Tony''s outstanding performance in Leicester City seemed like a beacon, and Odrich also respected O''Neill. Good Johnson decided to move to Leicester City after O''Neal personally persuaded him.


    Two days later, Millwall and Leicester City officially announced that Good Johnson had reached a transfer agreement worth 6 million pounds.


    Aldridge has a missing striker in the plan, he wants to find a replacement, and only Fanny and Klose are in the center position. Klose first entered the Premier League. If Fanny is injured, it is also a key moment to rely on it. Doubt, although the Germans have performed well in the reserve team for a season.


    While Aldridge was checking the European transfer market news, Andrew sent a bunch of materials to his door.


    "We have the results of the draft event held on the African continent. These are the information of the players who signed up for the competition. You see."


    In Aldrich''s office, Andrew flipped Erlang''s legs to read the book at will, while Aldridge put down his work to see Andrew''s achievements in Africa.


    The African continent is also a gold mine for players. Because of poor material conditions, children in Africa, like children in many slums in South America, dream of becoming famous and leading their families out of poverty.


    This has allowed many black-hearted agents to take advantage of the loophole. Unlike the professional football system in continental Europe, which has matured, each club radiates local or national regions, and the scouting network covers a wide range. Although there are also some missing fish, most of them are talented. Young players will enter the professional football field early.


    The children in Africa have no way to play football, and the football on the African continent is also lagging behind. Therefore, they dream of going to European clubs for trial training. There are often lawbreakers who pretend to be brokers or themselves are bad brokers to come to the house to swindle and lie to help young people. Go to the European team for trial training, and then swindle the money the opponent''s family paid for their dreams, and that money may be all the savings of the whole family.


    Under such a background, Andrew¡¯s company held a local football draft event in Africa and was warmly welcomed. The event propagated for three months. The young people who came to participate in various countries of the African continent conducted trial training within the continent. It is easier to cross the ocean and cross the sea to Europe.

 Chapter 334： Unlucky or time to run?

    Aldridge suddenly thought of something when he read the information. He opened the drawer, took out a document and handed it to Andrew, saying, "You are more familiar with me than Africa. This matter needs your help."


    Andrew opened the file to browse and was surprised: "What''s the use of Millwall going to Africa to build a football school and training camp? Is it a waste of money? If it is for the market, then it should be to another region."


    Aldrich patiently explained: "Not only Africa, but in the next ten years, Millwall will promote the football brand to the world. Every continent and as many countries as possible will have Millwall football schools and training camps. This will broaden the team¡¯s selection."


    "Are you over-obsessed with young players? If possible, are you planning to label the Millwall Observer in your womb?"


    Aldridge chuckled and said, "I have my own thoughts. I will tell you in detail, you are not interested in listening."


    Andrew shrugged his shoulders, believing the other''s statement.


    To put it bluntly, Aldridge wants to build football schools and training camps around the world. Its core is the foundation of club selection. The second is to respond to the new FIFA transfer policy ten years later: prohibit international transfer of players under the age of 18.


    But FIFA''s policy itself is contradictory.


    Now, Millwall can directly bring players under 18 years of age from the EU, Portugal, Italy, Spain and other EU member countries, but it will not work once the ban is issued after ten years.


    However, there are workarounds.


    More than ten years later, there are still many foreign players under the age of 18 in the young echelons of the big clubs.


    The key is how the players came to the club.


    If it is a transfer between clubs, the player is under 18 years old, the door of the international transfer is closed.


    If the player does not belong to the club, if he directly joins a foreign club, he will not be under 18!


    The only feasible way is: when the club has football input in other countries, the players are recruited through the football school or training camp draft, then these players can be brought back to the country to continue training, the core essence is more like a young player Is a student, studying in an affiliated high school of a university, and then directly promoted to the university to continue their studies.


    If there is no such process, it is more like the player went directly to foreign employment, then FIFA does not recognize and prohibit it. In the history, the more famous case of punishment in the future is La Masia. Barcelona¡¯s success with Dream Three let Rama West Asia¡¯s reputation has attracted young players from all over the world to go there for training, so many players have entered the Barcelona lower echelon and violated the FIFA ban, but small players like Japan are not included in the punishment at the same time, the reason is The Japanese players stood out in the training camp draft event in Japan through Barcelona.


    Aldrich is planning ahead, and he can¡¯t wait for the policy to come out and deal with it, not to mention excluding the policy factors. This is the advantage of investing in construction, which will help Millwall increase its international influence and popularity.


    After reading through the information sent by Andrew, Aldridge really had a windfall.


    "This teenager, signed a contract with him to help him come to Europe, and Millwall is all inclusive."


    Aldridge pulled out a player¡¯s file and handed it to Andrew.


    Andrew looked down at the dark-skinned boy and muttered: "Michael Essien, help them emigrate?"


    Aldrich shook his head and said: "The cost of immigration is too high, he can''t come in London, there is no EU passport and no labor certificate, just rent him to Belgium and let Tropp take care of me. I look for training The coach stared specifically. He was under 20 years old after four years, and he got an EU passport and returned to London. During this period, Millwall could bear the cost."


    Andrew didn''t say yes, but he was very motivated. In these years, he has been a player. He has watched all the unknowns grow into stars. His inner pride is particularly strong. In the circle of agents, he has become a real The British predator, a force not to be underestimated in Europe, has also become fiercely competitive with brokerage companies in other countries. Some places can stand firm, such as in Spain and Germany, but some places are really fortified. Fingers, such as Italy.


    Days passed by, and there was only one week left before the Premier League was unveiled, and Fleet Street¡¯s focus on Millwall began to decline.


    Millwall¡¯s summer sellers, young players¡¯ leases, the signings on the transfer market are still the same as in previous years, the first team is zero investment, the young team¡¯s little ass, Fleet Street knows I know, but when it is published as news, there is really no selling point. Who cares about the young people who have not heard these names?


    But Aldridge didn''t really plan to close the door to the transfer market.


    He needs a striker, to be precise, a center.


    In this way, there is one more choice in technical and tactical changes.


    Only Fanny and Klose are obviously thinner in the center position.


    Especially considering that Nedved does not have a counter substitute.


    After entering August, the opening of the major leagues is imminent, most club transfers have been settled, whether the buzzer trade will happen, and it is currently only a soap opera.


    Millwall, the new Champions League champion, was a bit shabby. The net income of the seller was 92 million pounds, and the first-team recruiting investment was zero.


    Manchester United bought York, and York + Cole''s Black Wind Shuangsha was formed.


    Arsenal had won the Premier League and the FA Cup last season, but Wenger bought Yongberg plus two children for only ¡ê3 million.


    Liverpool''s supplementary defense line introduced Hypeia and several players worth around three million pounds. With the addition of Gerard, Carragher and other youth training products, the strength has also been significantly improved.


    Chelsea spent more than 5 million pounds from Lazio to introduce striker Casiragci, and from Barcelona cost 2 million pounds to introduce guard Frere, plus 4.6 million pounds from World Cup champion member De Seli joined from AC Milan, etc. Chelsea continued to spend lavishly on several free transfer players attracted by high wages, but its strength has been greatly improved compared to last year.


    Tottenham''s poor record last season, the average investment in the summer, five or six million bought five notorious players, the overall strength has not changed much.


    But no matter what they do, they invest one by one, but Millwall can only get in and out, the fans are not in a hurry, and the reporters are anxious to scold their mother.


    92 million pounds, you are flowers, flowers!


    Some sensational transfer news!


    Aldridge couldn''t find a good striker on the market that was listed or rumored, so he checked the earlier news again to see if there were any cases of transfer failure.


    This search really found a suitable candidate.


    He picked up the phone and dialed the club''s transfer team. He said bluntly: "8 million pounds from Monaco''s striker Henry."


    Henry, who became a member of the World Cup in the summer, was a bit unlucky. Before the World Cup began, there was a rumor that Juventus would sign him, but Trezeguet helped Millwall take the European Champions Cup at the club and Mogi finally made the decision. Determined to buy Trezeguet, who played a significant role in Millwall''s scoring rate for four years.


    However, there are many clubs that buy Henry, and the bid is not low. Henry¡¯s bad luck is that he will be injured when he returns to the team training in the summer. Now, the big club¡¯s high bid is afraid that Henry¡¯s injury will become a hidden danger. Low, Monaco is unwilling, and Henry does not want to go: the value of the world champions, if you go to the small team, it is better to stay in Monaco, although there is no Champions League to play.


    Because of this, Henry remained in Monaco.


    Aldrich feels that this candidate is undoubtedly the best. He can be transformed into a center, plus he has played as a winger and his technical condition has matured. Whether it is 433 or 442, whether to let him play center or winger, he has a place to play.


    Millwall''s offer was faxed to the Monaco Club, and within an hour, Tigana''s phone number was calling Aldridge.


    "Henry is healing, don''t you know?"


    "It''s fine, Millwall can take the risk."


    Aldridge smiled back at the phone.


    In fact, the physical examination of the player transfer is not a mandatory requirement. The physical examination is more about checking some hidden diseases that are not visible to the naked eye. Like the introduction of players in big clubs, they are observed for at least half a year. If they are stuck in the physical examination The link is a joke. Although this kind of case does occur, it may have nothing to do with the physical condition of the player. The club regretted it and did not want to introduce players.


    Many players'' transfers were announced before the medical examination, and then they went through the physical examination and signed the contract.


    Aldridge is confident in his own medical system, and Henry came here to recover from the injury, maybe better soon.


    "Do you really want it?"


    "Talk about money."


    "Fifteen million!"


    "US dollars?"


    "GBP!"


    "You''re robbing money, we won''t talk about it, ten million pounds, the final offer."


    Tigana hesitated for a long time, the price is not too low, in terms of the value of the players sold by the Ligue 1 team, it is worthy of Henry.


    Moreover, if he refused, what would Henry think?


    He wanted to go to a bigger club, but also yearned for Italy, but unfortunately Juventus bought Trezeguet.


    Monaco will not qualify for the Champions League next season, which makes him even worse.


    Tigana finally compromised and agreed to Millwall''s transfer offer of 10 million pounds.


    Next, Aldridge flew to France in person to visit Henry.


    Henry was surprised that Aldridge appeared at his doorstep. He knew that the club had agreed to his transfer offer, but he was flattered by Aldridge''s sincerity to come home.


    After the two sat down, Aldridge couldn¡¯t wait to discuss the business and came straight to the point: ¡°Tieri, Millwall lacks a strong striker in the new season, a striker who can guarantee the team¡¯s goals and can help the team improve The striker with the probability of winning a trophy, I believe that if you come to Millwall, you are the one we need."


    Henry heard such an opening speech, and somehow, there was a sign of excitement in his heart.


    He was the one who played against Millwall and knew how powerful that team was. Even if he left a lot of the main force in the summer, Millwall''s strong guarantee is that the outsider is the champion who is in front of him.


    He began to ask himself if he would transfer to Millwall after the team''s position and status.


    Status does not mean the authority of the locker room, but the commitment of the main force or substitute.


    Aldrich did not rush to answer, first asked: "Do you trust me?"


    Henry asked in surprise, "Why do you ask?"


    Aldridge said in a deep voice: "Because I want to make you better and make you a world-class striker, but you must trust me, we trust each other and work together to achieve this."


    Henry is not a fledgling young player. He played hundreds of games in Monaco in five years and scored 20 goals as a winger. This number is not much, but there are not many, which will make him have his own ideas. If he is stubborn, Aldridge may just buy back a bomb.


    It¡¯s Wenger, I don¡¯t expect to ask such a question. After all, Wenger promoted Henry to the first team of Monaco, which is regarded as an enlightenment mentor.


    Henry thought of Aldridge¡¯s resume, one of the outstanding stars tuned in the past, he nodded and said: "I trust and will obey your request."


    Aldrich nodded and continued, "Okay, then if you want to be a world-class striker, you must first change your mindset. You have to treat yourself as a center and as a scorer. If you come to Millwall, you will be in charge. Winger or center, no matter where you are, you must further increase the direct threat to the goal. Like Larson, you can play center and wing. The interaction area is large, and the offensive end threat is high. If you can do mine Request, I believe that you will be one of the most powerful competitors of the European Golden Boot Award."


    Henry was dumbfounded.


    He is a winger who wants to transform into a single-season scoring machine with at least 30 goals?

 Chapter 335： New season goals

    To deal with Henry, a player who has already won the World Cup, Audridge must be very patient and show enough sincerity, so he personally came to the door and communicated openly with the other party. He never put himself in a position above the players. Position, the authority of the head coach is one thing, but the communication between generals is another.


    Henry''s inquiries about the team''s status, Aldridge is also very frank.


    If Millwall plays three forward tactics in the new season, the only forwards over the age of 20 are Fanny, Larson, Klose, and Glenn Charles, which are four people, Ronaldinho, Duff, VanderMeder, all Not yet 20 years old, no matter from the perspective of physical fitness or protection of players, Aldridge will give them no more than thirty appearances. Of course, there will be major and minor points, like Ronaldinho, Aldridge will let him in More importantly, Van der Med and Duff are still standing players on the bench.


    How many games will Millwall play in the new season?


    The Champions League, the League, the League Cup, the FA Cup, the four-line battle, plus the European Super Cup, the Toyota Cup, if the cup is not the first game to return, then the density of a season is likely to be close to 60 games.


    This doesn''t count as a game where the players themselves are going to play for the national team in one season.


    Moreover, the player''s state itself has ups and downs. When the state is not good, it should stop and rest, and wait for the state to return to the game.


    Aldrich said frankly: "If you are worried about the number of appearances, I can at least assure you that you will get a fair chance of competition. As long as you are in good shape and performing well, I cannot put you on the bench. At times, too many games are not a good thing for players of your age. You need to combine work and rest. You need to calmly adjust yourself when the state is ups and downs, rather than insisting on playing games."


    Henry estimated that he was thinking about it.


    Several Millwall strikers, Larson and Fanny should be the main players. The characteristics of Glencharr make him play with limitations. Van der Med, Duff, Ronaldinho are all younger than him, and their own ability and In other words, Henry does not think he is worse than these people, is he the main force of competition?


    Only when there is competition can there be pressure, and if there are better competitors, can we inspire our potential.


    After three hours of in-depth talks, Henry nodded and agreed to join Millwall. The rest is about the details of the contract. Millwall is not short of money and the finances are very loose. The introduction of players like Henry will directly give the second grade. The salary of the team will not be controversial, after all, Henry is the World Cup winner, not an unknown.


    Aldridge returned to London with Henry. Henry first stayed in the hotel. The club was looking for a house that met his needs. The small community of Millwall was a bit shabby for Henry players. Of course he was There is a need for a larger house to live a more pleasant and comfortable life.


    The next day, Henry received a medical examination from the Millwall Medical Department. The medical department''s feedback to Audridge was: minor injuries, as fast as two months, and as slow as March.


    Another day later, less than three days before the Premier League was unveiled, Millwall held a press conference to announce the addition of new aid.


    Henry in a casual outfit attended the press conference with Aldridge to show the new jersey.


    Fleet Street was caught off guard by Millwall.


    The other day, I was doing the pre-season tour of all the Premier League teams in the new season. Other teams may still be recruiting. The media will also use speculative or uncertain comments to evaluate.


    But for Millwall, Fleet Street is extremely detailed, and the analysis is based on the fact that Millwall has absolutely no new aid.


    As soon as the outlook work of various media was completed, Millwall announced the new aid to join, which is indeed a heavy news.


    World Cup champion, young winger Henry, who scored three goals for the French team, joined Millwall from Monaco for a transfer fee of 10 million pounds!


    "The Sun" reporter Thomson laughed: "Congratulations, Mr. Hall, Millwall has set a record for signing."


    Aldridge was in a good mood, and Henry smiled as he sat next to him.


    "Oh, yeah, this is the most expensive signing in the club''s history, but I think it''s worth the money. I won''t look at Thierry with the eyes of Mr. Ten Million. He needs a bigger challenge. A good stage, Millwall can give him here. At the same time, with his joining, Millwall''s competitiveness will be improved to a higher level. I am confident in the new season."


    It sounds a little bit shabby in fact.


    Champions League champions, the single record of transfer expenses is only 10 million pounds, which is too lacking in strong teams.


    With the full recovery of the Premier League team and the rapid improvement of competitiveness in Europe, last season was the two most influential Cup champions in Europe. Many foreign media also sent reporters to track the Premier League and pay attention to the performance of the English team. Giancarlo of the Milan Sports News is one of them.


    He doesn''t use money to measure Millwall''s transfer operation. On the contrary, he believes that Italian clubs should learn Millwall''s business model.


    Don''t buy expensive ones, only buy right ones!


    Giancarlo asked Aldridge in Italian speaking English: "Millwall has won a league title and a Champions League championship in the past two seasons. At the same time, he has also won two major domestic cups in England. It was successful, so where is Millwall¡¯s pursuit in the future? What is the realistic goal this season? Henry is an excellent striker, but Millwall¡¯s overall strength has declined, which is obvious to all.¡±


    Aldridge replied calmly: "We lost a few very important players in the summer. This is a fact. The outside world is saying that Millwall''s strength has declined. I don''t think it is particularly correct because everyone overlooked a little. My ball The team is in an ascending period. Fanny scored 11 league goals last season. He can score at least 15 this season. Ronaldinho had 7 assists and 5 goals last season. He will also score this season. The performance is even better, as well as the improvement of players such as Van der Mede, Duff, Lampard and so on, which has not caused the team''s overall strength to decline seriously. Now that we have Henry, you want to know what Millwall is pursuing this season. What is it? Quite simply, the league title is the number one goal!"


    Aldrich¡¯s calm confidence that was revealed in his conversation was not a disguise, so he should say this: Millwall is a popular team to win the league!


    Giancarlo was in deep thought, and Aldridge¡¯s confidence made it impossible to believe that he was a hard-spoken man.


    Ajax also faced a corner after winning the Champions League, but the team can only sell people little by little, and dare not directly sell the team¡¯s main force. After leaving freely, Millwall immediately sold five important players and a good substitute after winning the Champions League. The reason is that in addition to the team¡¯s debt and the huge profit through the transfer market, the team¡¯s foundation It is also one of the important factors.


    In the past few years, it has always been said that Millwall is young, but no one will say that Millwall has a thin lineup. Their large number of young players are constantly growing, and the age structure is also very reasonable. There is a clear stepped order. In this way, they even Players who have been sold for the year they were playing will immediately have their successors in place, and there will be no personnel faults.


    The deeper Giancarlo thinks, the more unfathomable it is to Aldridge. It is not difficult to construct a pyramid team. The difficulty is that each brick of the pyramid is of excellent quality. If there are young players who are embarrassed, they cannot Inherit the mantle left by the predecessors, then this pyramid will collapse instantly.


    "Milwall is regaining the league title, what do you think are the biggest competitors this season?"


    Aldrich did indeed focus on the league this season. There are too many uncertainties in the Champions League. First of all, the time span is very long, and the interval between the games is long. No one can say what accidents will happen during the interval. After a group of stars, the league is the foundation of the club¡¯s survival, and Millwall must first allow a new generation of crazy lions to be integrated into the league.


    One of the most important reasons is: to measure whether a team is dominant, it depends on the league first. Millwall won the league championship, but if they can¡¯t continue to win the league championship, even if they perform well in the European War, It is also not persuasive enough to improve the team''s influence and dominance. The first league, the Premier League champion Blackburn three years ago, who cares about them now?


    If Millwall is unable to regain the league title in the next two years, their success will be greatly compromised.


    "The biggest competitor is Manchester United first and Arsenal second."


    Aldridge replied bluntly.


    Richard of the "Daily Mail" asked strangely: "Why didn''t Arsenal, the league champion last season, rank first, but instead Manchester United, who was snatched by Millwall in the last minute of the last season, was the biggest threat? ?"


    Aldridge laughed: "It''s very simple. Arsenal are going to play in the Champions League this year. They have been away from the Champions League for many years, but their team lineup is not thick enough to support the double-line battle. Even if they are out of the group stage, it will affect them as a whole. Half-season game. Maybe many people think that the UEFA Champions League group is not just six games? How much impact can playing six more games? In fact, if you consider each of the six group games to be unmissable Games, then these six games will affect 12 leagues before and after! Especially when the group stage is going to play away in the middle of the week, the test for the team is very big. Last season, a new generation of young Manchester United played in the Champions League, October and 11 What''s the performance of the month in the league? Millwall''s failure to defend his title last season was also due to too many draws in the first half of the league due to the impact of the European War. I believe the same problem will also happen to Arsenal. Manchester United are ranked first Because their lineup is not worse than Millwall, if Keene was not injured last season, they may have won the championship early. Although they also want to play in the Champions League, they have been in the Champions League quarterfinals and once in the past two years. So that they can handle it calmly, so Millwall¡¯s biggest opponent to the league title is Manchester United, not Arsenal."


    "What about Liverpool and Chelsea?"


    "I don¡¯t know Liverpool, but Chelsea, yes, they have spent a lot of money to buy people, and they don¡¯t know how much their debts have already been, but it doesn¡¯t matter, Millwall and Manchester United Arsenal, Chelsea is not enough. Qualified to play with us."


    After Aldridge finished speaking, the reporters all smiled.


    This young marshal is really firm in his stance and contempt for the dead enemy!


    After the press conference, Aldridge took Henry to the training ground to officially meet with the team, and asked him to put on a jersey and take a group photo with the team.


    After the shooting of Millwall''s family portrait in the 98/99 season, he just waited for the start of the new season.


    Attached to the new season Millwall lineup list.


    Goalkeepers: Bute, Keller, Wright.


    Guards: Schneider, Ferreira, Mills, Materazzi, Southgate, Ferdinand, Zambrotta, Neil, Cole.


    Midfielders: Makelele, Gattuso, Pirlo, Lampard, Nedved, Duff, VanderMead.


    Strikers: Larson, Fanny, Henry, Klose, Glenshare, Ronaldinho.


    A total of 25 people.

 Chapter 336： Run in new formation

    On August 14, 1998, the new season Premier League kicked off.


    The first round of the Millwall League guest visit Xie Wednesday.


    Before the game started, the players warmed up and returned to the locker room. The starting and replacements were all in the locker room, waiting for Audric''s training.


    Aldridge is as smart as ever, he looks around the room, looks at each player''s expression, and then speaks lightly: "This season, we must bring the league champion back to the Lions Stadium, this is my The requirement is also a requirement for yourself."


    The players listened with a serious expression and nodded consciously.


    Aldridge continued: "The outside world said that Millwall''s strength has declined. I don''t think so. Although some of you did not play in the Champions League last season, it does not mean that our success is all achieved by 11 main players. , We are a team, relying on only 11 players, no matter how good it is, it is impossible to create great success! Players who will get more opportunities in the new season, I hope you will put all your attention on the court and put you The best is shown, and for old players like Gareth, I hope you can set an example for young people, work hard, forget what honors you have won, and don¡¯t stop chasing victory. Have a firm belief: We are far from the peak and far away! I am confident to continue to create glory with you, but it also requires you to have the same confidence and show me with action!"


    Southgate laughed: "Boss, rest assured, the taste of the champion is like a drug, and it makes people want to stop!"


    Nedved also nodded: "Yes, we will fight for the day when we can''t kick!"


    The young Ronaldo touched his nose and said softly: "Me too."


    Other players have expressed their attitude one after another, seeming to make a military order, the atmosphere in the locker room is gradually rising, and the morale has suddenly increased.


    Aldridge looked around again and said: "Okay, take the temperament of the champion to go to the game and tell everyone that Millwall is the league''s biggest favorite. No matter who doubts, we will fight back with action!"


    After all, Aldridge took the lead out of the locker room and walked into the court along the player tunnel.


    When he appeared, the live camera was directed at him. There is no doubt that he is now the most popular among the Premier League coaches. In addition to the jaw-dropping record, his own image of the England coach also made him more concerned.


    "The first round of the new season Premier League is about to start, Andy, what do you think of Millwall''s prospects for the new season?"


    "I think the most important thing is the performance of several players. Whether they can play well will determine Millwall''s fate this season. I think the first important person is the Dutch Van Nistelrooy, who succeeds Trey. After Zegue left, his task as a center was to score goals. This criterion required him to score more goals than last season in order to guarantee Millwall¡¯s offensive firepower. The second is Ronaldi Neo, from the perspective of Hall¡¯s formation, he was placed on the left-wing position, Larson moved to the right, and after observing few games last season, I found that he and Shevchenko have significantly different characteristics. , Shevchenko does not stick the ball, the pass is passed, the first time when the running position is empty, but Ronaldinho is more like a midfielder, he likes to take the ball, likes to pass in the frontcourt Individual ability to tear the opponent''s defense, alone, he is a very good player, but in the past four years, Millwall has been emphasizing the overall team, whether the Brazilian can play with Nedved, Larson, Pirlo, etc. The combination of the core players will be the key to affecting the quality of Millwall''s offense. As for Henry, who transferred from ¡ê10 million, we have not seen his game in the Premier League, so we can''t make a comment for the time being."


    "Hall has made a bold statement. This season is to regain the lost league title last season. Do you think his remarks will put pressure on the players?"


    "There must be pressure, and this group of players also needs pressure. Like Southgate and Makelele, they have won the league championship, the Champions League championship, the club has two of the highest honors. They have to give orders to the head coach. What do you want to do to keep them motivated? If, as in the past few years, Hall keeps a low profile and thinks that Millwall is not the hottest champion, it will hurt morale. What would the players think? We are already European champions Isn¡¯t it comparable to other teams in the local league? Set a goal and work hard together. Although Millwall is not as old as new, the team has young power injected, Hall It also needs to stimulate the enthusiasm of young people."


    "It seems that Hall''s diplomatic rhetoric has a clear purpose, so we will wait and see to see how the new Champions League championship will perform in the new season."


    Players from both sides began to enter the field, Millwall''s main formation is still 433 last season.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.


    Midfielders: Makelele, Pirlo, Nedved.


    Forwards: Larson, Van Nistelrooy, Ronaldinho.


    The formation is still that formation, but there must be some changes in the play style, because the player''s personal characteristics are different, especially Ronaldinho Rodriguez on the offensive end, Aldrich can not let him copy Shevchenko''s role in the winger position It is no exaggeration to say that because Ronaldinho entered the main lineup, the focus of the team work in the summer preparation for Aldridge is to tailor a new tactical system for him.


    Xie is not a strong player on Wednesday. The middle and lower level teams have just started the new season at their home ground. They don''t have to use the bus tactics, but they are definitely defensive.


    When the game started, Aldridge stood on the sidelines with a full face.


    Even though he achieved great success last season, at the beginning of the new season, his work is heavier than at the beginning of last season, and it is not easy to command the team on the spot. He needs to observe the performance of the new team of the team in the game. Insight into every drop.


    Millwall played a fast break at the opening, and Zambrotta rushed along the left road, along with Makelele, Ronaldinho made two two-on-one crosses, Fan Nistelrooy failed to grab a point, and the ball that was released fell to Pirlo''s feet. He then made a sublime straight through the opponent''s defense. Larson cut the ball from the right and directly volleyed the ball. The ball hit Unfortunately, there was no score on the goal-side network.


    "Milwall looks good in the new season, but Larsson changed from left to right, and the shot feels worse. If he cuts in on the left, in the same position, he has scored many wonderful goals. Ball, although this foot is not ugly, it is out of standard."


    Xie Wednesday''s offense can only rely on a long pass. Because of the ground coordination, the player''s level gap is obvious. They need more time to pass the control organization. When the ball cannot reach a very precise level, Millwall The probability of interception is very high.


    Millwall has Materazzi on the defense line this season. At least the air defense is no problem, and the long pass can''t penetrate their defense line.


    After playing the game for 20 minutes, Millwall was on the offensive, but only to no avail, Aldridge saw the crux of the problem.


    Ronaldinho and Nedved lack a tacit understanding.


    Unlike counterattacks, which have a large advantage in speed and forward speed, positional warfare requires higher precision in passing and cutting, and the tacit understanding of passing timing is also higher.


    When Millwall is in control of the rhythm, Ronaldinho and Nedved often appear to "crash".


    In other words, Ronaldinho took the ball, Nedved did not run, Nedved ran out of position, Ronaldinho thought that the other party would catch the ball in place, and vice versa, Nedved was used to closing in the smooth attack The eye gives the winger a straight shot, whether it is Larson or Shevchenko, as long as there is time, it will inevitably be in place from the side.


    So when Nedved took the ball and wanted to get it out, Ronaldinho didn''t run, he could only pass the ball. The attack was eventually pushed to the limit and ended in a simple and rough way, or the pass, Fanny closely guarded the opponent Nothing to show, or force shot, the quality is not high.


    Xie fouled in the frontcourt on Wednesday, the opposing player was arguing with the referee, and Aldridge called Ronaldinho and Nedved on the sidelines.


    When the two came in front of him, Aldridge simply said: "Before the first half, Ronaldinho, you take the ball, Nedved runs, Nedved takes the ball, Ronaldinho waits for the ball in place , Nedved passes the ball to you, he runs, you pass again, understand?"


    Ronaldinho and Nedved nodded at the same time.


    Aldridge can''t expect them to have a tacit understanding from nothing. They can only stipulate the rules, let them cooperate in the most rigid way, first fight out the cooperation, and then wait for each other to become familiar with each other, so they can use it freely.


    In essence, the role is fixed, no conversion.


    Ronaldinho first fixed on the role of the tandem, Nedved was fixed on the role of the terminator after the break.


    Whenever the two have a strong heart, they can tacitly complete the exchange of roles.


    After such adjustments, Millwall''s offensive end played much smoother, and the threat was more intuitive.


    Ronaldinho and Nedvide pass and run one by one on the left. After Nedvide''s speed advantage, inserting into the penalty area is like a sharp knife, which often threatens the opponent''s goal.


    In the thirty-ninth minute of the first half, Ronaldinho took the ball and Nedved forward. Xie Wednesday players also realized that the other side will pass to Nedved, so the card pass route, focusing on Nedved .


    Ronaldinho pulled the ball backwards and made another cross. Pirlo, who was inserted later, received the ball in the middle. A delicate straight pass broke the opponent''s defense. The opponent stared at Nedved, so he made a heavy effort on the left. Instead, the defense on the right is relatively loose. Ronaldinho shifts. Pirlo plays straight and plays extremely fast from left to right. Larson takes the ball in the right and only has a 30-degree shot space. Calmly knocking the ball back into the middle, Fanny just consciously withdrew from the opposing defender''s mark, pushed the ball in front of the incoming ball, and the ball went straight into the bottom right corner of the goal.


    "Millwall broke the deadlock in the end of the first half, and the goal scorer was their new main center Van Nistelrooy! Millwall played a subtle match, with the ball from Nedved, Ronaldinho, Pirlo, Larson, and then broke the ball at the foot of Fanny. The offensive players in the frontcourt were all involved in this attack. This is the way that Millwall is best at. The sudden straight plug after the lateral transfer is used to penetrate the opponent''s defense line, as long as the opponent''s rhythm follows Failure to do so will inevitably reveal flaws in the defense. Millwall¡¯s goal is not unexpected, even later than expected.¡±


    Aldridge applauded the team for a goal and then sat back.


    Van Nistelrooy was very excited about the goal and he hugged Larson to the corner to celebrate.


    He will also fight back the doubts of the outside world and tell everyone that he can not only take Trezeguet''s position, but also do better than the other party!

 Chapter 337： Waiting for touchstone

    Before the end of the first half, the score was not rewritten, the two teams entered the locker room.


    During the intermission, Aldridge did not make too many adjustments, but only demanded a more level of attack.


    There is nothing defensive to mention. In the first half, the opponent did not even have a shot. Millwall completely suppressed the opponent on the road.


    At the beginning of the second half, Millwall still had the advantage on the field. Xie strengthened his marking and harassment on Ronaldinho on Wednesday. Ronaldinho still suffered a bit from the physical side, and he was disadvantaged in the confrontation, especially when the opponent unreasonably used his body to collide. To undermine Millwall''s attack.


    After discovering this situation, Nedved took the initiative to walk over and whisper to Ronaldinho.


    The two reversed their roles in the first half. Nedved returned to the role of the Indian midfielder, allowing Ronaldinho to return to the winger and take less of the ball organization. Once he moves forward, it directly threatens the opponent''s goal. There will be scruples about fouls.


    In the case where the front offensive players are closely marked, Millwall''s full-backs came forward to become the focus of the game, plus Pirlo is more mature than last season, and the control rhythm has reached a qualitative level. Millwall¡¯s offensive now looks like he didn¡¯t want the storms of the previous two years, but through continuous control of the scene, even if the threat of the offense is resolved by the opponent, he can launch two or three attacks in a row, constantly hitting the opponent¡¯s defense. To challenge the other party''s nerves, at this rhythm, Xie quickly couldn''t withstand it on Wednesday.


    Schneider is now in the full-back position, and when he comes forward to assist, he has reached the point of perfection.


    His skillful and delicate footwork combined with efficiency-oriented kicks, he kicked the wind on the right, and continued to threaten the right in the second half.


    In the 63rd minute, Schneider passed the opponent''s full back and knocked back to the top of the penalty area. Nedved deliberately missed the ball. Pirlo followed up and seemed to shoot, forcing Xie Wednesday''s back line pressure When he came up to block him, the audience was stunned. Pirlo gently pushed the ball forward. When Nedvide rushed forward when the ball passed, it happened to pass the entire defense of the opponent. The ball, Come on schedule!


    But this ball is a bit high, Nedved must jump up and header the ball, otherwise the goalkeeper will certainly not give the ball a chance to readjust Nedved.


    Nedved faced the goal and the ball went towards the goal again. He didn''t work well, so he jumped and headed for the ferry, giving Larson who followed up on the right and was completely unmarked.


    Larson didn''t wait for the ball to land, it was a volley shot!


    The ball flew into the upper left corner of the goal like a cannonball, and the goalkeeper looked at the ball with sigh and had no time to react.


    Larsson and Nedved embraced tightly after the goal!


    "This goal was brilliant! Schneider''s knocking back on the top of the penalty area was not surprising. It was not surprising that Nedvide didn''t kick the ball when the player blocked the angle in front, but he missed the ball. , We all thought that Pirlo, who followed up, would have a long shot, but Pirlo used a shocking four-pass pick to pass Xie Wednesday through the entire line of defense. The most amazing thing is that Nedved clearly turned his back. Pirlo, he directly pushed forward after missing the ball. It seems that long eyes behind his head knew that Pirlo would pass the ball to him. When facing the goalkeeper one-on-one, Nedved chose to give the ball a more confident Larsson, the Swedish super shooter, received a big gift and blasted the ball into Xie Wednesday''s gate with a violent volley! Millwall led Xie Wednesday 2:0!"


    Aldridge sat and nodded, but he still had some regrets in his heart. Ronaldinho and Fanny did not participate in the whole process of scoring, and it was still completed by the mainstay players in the team.


    However, this kind of thing can''t be rushed. When there are too many matches, as long as the training is done, it will naturally come to fruition.


    When the game came to the 70th minute, Millwall made a substitution.


    Aldridge replaced Nedved with Klose, and replaced Larson with VanderMead.


    The formation changed to 442.


    "It seems that Hall put his mind on the next game after leading by two goals, allowing Nedved and Larson to rest and prepare for a focus battle with Manchester United a week later."


    As the narrator speculated, Aldridge did let the two main players take a break. After a week, they will face Manchester United at home.


    From 433 to 442, the formation has become balanced, Millwall can play away, the full-backs do not have to go straight up and down, the offense is driven by two full-backs.


    Ronaldinho and Van der Meide are on one side, delivering shells to Klose and Van Ni on the forward.


    With two **** in hand, Ronaldinho began to let go of his courage to play, and he didn''t treat his opponent as a person on the sidelines. The ball played a fancy technique under his feet.


    Aldrich allows Ronaldinho to play like this, but there is a premise that Ronaldinho must provide firepower for his teammates.


    When Ronaldinho attracted two defensive players on the left, he stepped on a bicycle and quickly passed the ball back to the middle. Because he was closely guarded, the opponent''s defense in other positions would be free. Pirlo''s skill after receiving the ball Reapply, then divide the ball to the right.


    Van der Mede is much stronger than when he first came to the team last year, and his foot skills also honed the characteristics of concise efficiency. He received the ball while stopping and took it directly over the opponent''s full-back. After breaking through the bottom, a high ball was passed. Klose grabbed a spot in front of the goal, jumped high and headed the ball, the ball hit the net.


    "3:0, does anyone doubt that Millwall''s strength has declined? Andy, have you found that Millwall''s current style of play has become more abundant?"


    "Martin, you are right, Millwall is more varied than before. This change comes from Ronaldinho, who can attract the attention of two three defensive players on one side. And to ensure that the ball is not lost, after he passes the ball to his teammates, the opponent''s defense will have a loophole, plus today''s debut striker Klose, he makes Millwall''s passing ball more threatening, VanderMead also has a place."


    Klose ran to the sidelines after scoring a front flip to celebrate, this is his first goal in the professional league, of course, it is worth celebrating.


    Aldridge then put Lampard on for Pirlo and then sat quietly.


    Jenson laughed next to him: "It seems that we have a tradition where the striker can score in his first show. Shevchenko was also on the bench at the time, and Klose has now scored."


    "Oh, this is a good tradition, and I hope to continue to carry forward."


    Aldridge replied with a smile.


    Before the end of the game, Klose controlled the ball in front of the penalty area and used his body to carry the opponent''s harassment. Before being sacked, he gave the ball to Lampard who inserted it later. The latter made a long shot and scored the score. Locked in 4:0.


    "Klose, seeing his performance on the bench less than 20 minutes today, we understand why Millwall dared to sell the two main forwards in the summer, and Hall also dared to release the rhetoric of the league championship. They lack A striker? No no, do they lack good strikers? Look at Klose, one pass and one shot is not enough to describe his contribution to the team, if not Fanny wasted two brilliant shots from Klose Perhaps, Klose can play an assist hat trick, and he can still score. I remember Trezeguet¡¯s first game in the Premier League three years ago. It was definitely not as good as Klose."


    At the end of the game, Aldridge looked unhappily shaking hands with the opponent coach, and then entered the player channel.


    It''s no surprise that the Millwall League won the first game away.


    Facing Xie Wednesday''s team at this level, victory, victory, are not convincing enough, especially when Millwall can easily master the rhythm of the game on the field, is there any problem with their defense, which is completely invisible from this game , Unable to get results.


    The real touchstone is the next round at home against Manchester United.


    After the game, Aldridge walked into the locker room to congratulate Klose, and then hurried to the interview in the mixed area before returning to London.


    Millwall was ranked first in the standings with a 4-0 away victory in the first round of the league on Wednesday.


    The long-awaited new season of the Premier League has begun, and the result of the first round of the league is disappointing.


    Five of the ten games are tied, four of which are 0:0.


    The most exciting game was when Manchester United were almost killed by Martin O¡¯Neal¡¯s team at Old Trafford. The final result was 2:2. Martin O¡¯Neal claimed to be disappointed with the result in an interview after the game. He thought Lecce The city has a chance to take away the victory.


    The league has just begun, and the standings have no meaning.


    During the preparation for the match with Manchester United, Aldridge specially arranged a small range of cooperation between Ronaldinho and Nedved during the offensive and defensive exercises.


    Before the start of the season, Aldridge regarded Manchester United as the biggest competitor in the new season league, so when the two teams will talk directly in the second round, the press conference on the day before the game was very lively.


    "What do you think about Manchester United losing to Leicester City at home? Do you still think Manchester United is Millwall''s biggest competitor?"


    The reporters'' argument has begun to look down on Manchester United.


    Aldridge said lightly: "Manchester United has underestimated the enemy. They did not correctly recognize the strength of Leicester City in the new season. If you don''t pay enough attention to your opponent, then you have to accept the punishment. Millwall will not make mistakes. Manchester United The result of the last round of the game will not change the fact that Manchester United is strong. If I think Manchester United cannot win even Leicester City, it means that Manchester United is weak. Then this is a very stupid idea, and Will have a negative impact on the team."


    "This is your fourth season with Ferguson. In the first two years, Millwall sold important players such as Solskjaer and Stam to Manchester United. This summer, Ferguson is said to be interested in acquiring Van Nistelro. Yi, have you talked about this?"


    The transfer window hasn''t been closed, everything can happen.


    Klose has also attracted the attention of many teams.


    Does Manchester United want Millwall players?


    Of course I think, and more than one.


    Faced with this problem, Aldridge said bluntly: "My players are being pursued by other clubs. This is a normal thing, because they are very good. Millwall used to sell the players before, but it is a must. After winning the Champions League, the attractiveness of other clubs is declining, and my players prefer to stay in Millwall, where they can achieve greater achievements, and I trust each other."


    "Although you say that, Millwall still let go of a lot of important first-team players in the summer."


    "That''s different. Some players'' departure is not a competitive reason. I''m sure their departure will not cause a heavy blow to the team."


    Aldrich¡¯s speech today showed a gesture to the outside world.


    Even if Millwall sells players, they will only be players they can let go.


    For the main players like Capdevila, Trezeguet, Shevchenko and Elgra, there are suitable replacements in the Millwall team, and there will be no personnel faults caused by the players leaving.


    As for the absolute main player, even if Aldridge sells, he will not choose to sell to Manchester United.


    Ferguson buys Larson every year, and Aldridge is too lazy to return to him now.

 Chapter 338： Unhappy Ferguson

    On the afternoon of the match between Millwall and Manchester United, the fans entered the field early to prepare for the match. As the first home game of the new season, the fans will release all the enthusiasm they have accumulated throughout the summer.


    The small Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium has undergone a simple renovation in the summer. Although it is planned to move into the new stadium two years later, all of Millwall¡¯s games are now the focus. Although the stadium is small, it represents Millwall¡¯s image.


    Now the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium is small and exquisite. The top turf looks green and particularly eye-catching. The seats of the stadium stands are mainly blue. The seats of the main stands are printed with a huge blue lion pattern based on the seat color. Visual beauty.


    Today, almost no red can be seen in the stands. At a glance, there is a blue ocean. The Red Devils fans have fewer than two thousand people here today, and they are also arranged in remote corners.


    Before the game started, fans sang new songs after the mad lion won the Champions League, and major fan organizations also raised banners and flags.


    On the side of the main stand, a large ear cup was painted on the curtains of the whole stand. On both sides of the big ear cup were the hand-drawn drawings of the Millwall players. The bottom is the serious half-length of Aldridge Like, the arms around the chest are firm.


    In the other stands, the flag of the crazy lion was constantly being waved by fans, men and women, young and old, **** fans of all ages held up the self-made slogans to support the team, they uniformly wore Millwall¡¯s new season home jersey today, at least let the jersey sponsor Shangle blossomed, and Millwall''s commercial value quickly manifested before the start of the new season. In less than a month, jersey sales exceeded one million.


    In the top seat of the VIP seat, Arthur and Puskas are still reviewing the Champions League final three months ago.


    Puskas reunited with his old friend Stefano in that game. Not only were the two legendary when they played, but they also became good coaches after retiring. Puskas talked about that game with coach''s eyes. In the wonderful part, he admitted to Arthur that the team''s technical and tactical play tuned by Aldridge was impressive and set off a trend.


    Arthur listened to the joy in his heart, but was very modest in his mouth, thinking that Audridge was lucky, and finally won Real Madrid by penalty shootout.


    Yi Wen sat next to him and smiled secretly. No one who knew Arthur knew how stinky he was. He hung Aldridge in his mouth every day. It was not the eldest son with more than one billion dollars who was most proud of him. The youngest son, Aldridge, who led the team to the top.


    On the side of the court, the team mascot, the blue lion Leo naughtily interacted with the audience on the sidelines. When Aldridge entered the field, the fans on the sidelines stood up and applauded him. Thank you again for his team Contribution.


    He not only made Millwall an important part of the English football map, but also made the fans behind Millwall proud and proud. The team''s brilliance and the fans'' inner pride, this is the football club In one of the public meanings that should be carried in the first place, Millwall achieved this, enabling these fans to gain happiness and pride while supporting the team.


    Aldrich came early, he didn¡¯t need to mobilize everyone in the locker room every game, the players are not horses, if you don¡¯t whip, it won¡¯t run...


    If there is enough time, if Aldridge does not sit in the stands with reporters or friends and chat, then he will sign a group photo with the fans to meet their requirements as much as possible.


    Today, he smiled and signed the fans on the sidelines. Those fans will hand him jerseys, hats, commemorative books and other things for him to sign. At the same time, he will say two words of blessing or pat him. The arm encouraged him.


    "Boss, save me!"


    Aldridge just signed a fan and suddenly looked up, he seemed to hear De Rossi''s voice.


    Turning his head, he did not see De Rossi, but he saw the mascot Leo leaning his head near the stands not far away. The ears on the head of the little lion were held by a young child fan in his arms. Clenched.


    Aldridge''s face suddenly appeared a charming smile.


    Deserve it!


    "Boss, I don''t want to hurt him hard, help me!"


    De Rossi''s voice came from the lion''s head, and Aldridge smiled at the smiling young couple: "Does this kid like him very much?"


    The child''s father happily said: "He likes to grab things, and he doesn''t let go when he catches."


    The child''s mother said excitedly: "Mr. Hall, today is my son''s birthday. He is two years old. We gave him a Millwall jersey. I hope you can sign it."


    Aldrich readily agreed that after taking the pen from the young mother, he walked in front of his father and said to them after thinking about it, "Please wait a moment."


    He turned and walked into the player''s tunnel, and De Rossi shouted behind him: "Hey, boss, you help!"


    Aldridge came back quickly, with a small football in his hand. He walked in front of the couple and smiled and asked, "What''s the name of this angel?"


    Mother excitedly said: "Ben Sen!"


    Aldridge wrote a pen on football: May Benson grow up healthy and happy! Aldridge.


    He placed the football in front of Little Benson for more than ten seconds. Little Benson was really attracted to the attention and let go of Leo the Lioness. After De Rossi was saved, he immediately took two steps back, fearing that he would be trapped again. .


    "Mr. Hall, thank you very much."


    "No, I want to thank you for being able to see Benson here and make me happy."


    Aldridge signed his name on the big children''s jersey on Benson and waved goodbye to the couple.


    Turning to the coach seat, Aldridge still smiled. He was not in a pretentious manner. He was able to see the young couple take the children to the ball to see the ball at ease, which really made him feel strangely satisfied.


    This was impossible to see three years ago, four years ago, five years ago!


    At that time, Millwall¡¯s stands were not safe. Mo said that children, even teenagers, might be in danger because of the small disturbances that often occur in the stands.


    The atmosphere in the stadium is still hot. From the time Aldridge came in to sit down, in more than ten minutes, the singing in the stands had not stopped. The waves of flags were rising one after another. Millwall¡¯s home field was indeed small, but Entering here seems to have entered a different world, where you can appreciate the purest charm of watching football.


    When Ferguson walked past the sidelines, Aldridge took the initiative to greet each other.


    Ferguson''s face was not very pretty.


    In the past three years, at Lion''s Cave Stadium, Manchester United''s memories have never been good.


    In addition to the first year, Manchester United finally reversed Newcastle United to win the league title, but also thanks to Millwall¡¯s last minute sniper against Keegan¡¯s team, and that year, the Manchester United host and guest did not beat Millwall in the two rounds of the league. , Was also eliminated by Millwall in the cup.


    Cause and effect cycle, just three and a half months ago, in this field, Manchester United was snipered by Millwall, allowing Arsenal to achieve a 10-point fall in the winter and the final reversal of the final season!


    But this is not the reason why Ferguson is upset.


    He deliberately talked with Aldridge on the sidelines for a while today.


    "I thought you would be happy now."


    Aldridge and Ferguson stand very close. The conversation between the two is relatively low, which is a kind of whispering in public.


    Ferguson frowned: "I thought I would be happy, but if Millwall can sell to Manchester United at a low price, I can be happy."


    "What does it have to do with us? Your question with Edwards, don''t touch me. Furthermore, you look at your quotation, 3 million for Fannie, 4 million for Lampard... if I disclose these quotations Give Fleet Street, ha ha, Manchester United may be a laughing stock."


    Aldridge was outspoken.


    The most annoying thing is that Larson still bought 15 million pounds last year, and this year it has become 12 million pounds. Millwall did not reply, and he silently told Manchester United: take his own shame!


    Ferguson asked softly, "Do you sell people in winter?"


    "No! Millwall doesn''t do business in winter."


    "In the winter, Manchester United can offer a normal price, or a higher price."


    "No, this is our principle. It has nothing to do with the bid. Our season plan is complete, unless there is a big change in the winter, but we can solve it internally. At least I will not recruit in the winter. Let go of any planned players in winter."


    Aldridge replied firmly.


    Ferguson said to be angry, but he couldn''t get angry.


    Does Manchester United have money?


    To make a joke, Edwards and his son, who sold pork, made at least several hundred million pounds through Manchester United, and then converted Manchester United''s current share price, it is estimated that they can make more than one billion pounds.


    Unfortunately, Ferguson and Edwards have a bad relationship. Edwards has always been the target of Manchester United fans. Ferguson is the coordinator in the middle, but Edwards stingy, especially after spending a lot of money to introduce Stam last season, Manchester United actually In the single season, the four majors are empty, and the process is also very shocking. The advantage at the end of the half of the league is so large that Arsenal snatched the championship at the last moment. Edwards has a very weak word for Ferguson.


    The transfer budget for Ferguson is less, and the summer supplementary lineup has more York.


    Just looking at Manchester United''s 11-man lineup, there is not much that can be picky. Perhaps Elvin is indeed old, but he has a Giggs rush in front of him. As long as Elvin is defensive, it is enough.


    However, to compete for the league championship, it is not enough to rely on 11 people alone, which is far from enough, especially in the face of a strong opponent such as Millwall, a main force and a substitute.


    Recently Manchester United is the focus of the United Kingdom, because Manchester United is caught in the deal.


    Edwards wants to sell Manchester United to media tycoon Murdoch. The deal between the two has reached the point of signing, so the crowds are so crowded that the fans are fiercely opposed. This is an important reason for Ferguson''s unhappiness.


    Such a turmoil will undoubtedly affect the team, but he does not exclude Manchester United from changing the boss. As long as he guarantees his coaching status, and the new boss is willing to invest, Murdoch is strong. No matter what happens, it is impossible to follow Edward from pork. I am like a wealthy slave.


    Ferguson also didn''t want to go to the board of directors every season to make a big deal about the transfer budget.


    "Can this deal succeed? Do you have any special news channels?"


    Ferguson asked in a low voice, staring closely at Aldridge''s eyes.


    The Hall family has a cooperative relationship with Murdoch. Sky Sports and Barnett have 20% of the shares. At that time, tens of millions of shares were invested, and now they are at least worth more than 500 million pounds.


    Aldrich shook his head and said: "My family can''t get any news from Murdoch, let alone that we have no core interests in cooperation with each other. In fact, my elder brother turned his back on Murdoch since last year, the two No longer speaking, the shareholders'' meeting is always sent representatives to attend, if you need to communicate, all through the middleman."


    Ferguson laughed twice, and didn''t understand what the rich people thought. Sometimes they were just like children.


    Aldridge finally added: "But you still have a psychological preparation, I don''t think this deal will be successful."


    "why?"


    Ferguson just said that the reason why there is money in winter is that he thinks that before the arrival of winter, Manchester United will exchange for a new boss. The new boss is coming, and it is a rich gold owner. That must not be paid tens of millions to the team. Well please the fans.


    Aldridge shrugged and said: "This incident is in full swing, and the people''s opposition is too strong, which will directly affect the government''s decision."


    Voting politics, whether the government does it or not, depends on whether it can win over the people.


    Ferguson shook his head and said, "Manchester United can all issue shares on the market. Why can''t they change their boss?"


    "Look and see, anyway, don''t be too optimistic."


    Aldrich shook hands with the opponent, turned and walked back to the coach seat, the game was about to begin.

 Chapter 339： Dancing Samba

    "The second round of the Premier League in the new season is about to start. Both Manchester United and Milwall, who are at home today, have sent the strongest lineup. Although the new season has just begun, the result of the direct confrontation between the two teams may be It will have an intuitive impact on the ranking at the end of the season. In the past three seasons, in addition to the season in which Millwall won the championship, in the other two seasons, the gap between the points of Millwall and Manchester United is within one goal. In other words, If the two teams can beat their opponents, the precious three points will have more gold than other games."


    Manchester United''s starting lineup is still 442, Millwall continues to use 433.


    Aldridge stood on the sidelines and supervised the battle. Now Millwall''s momentum against Manchester United is very different from the past, especially compared to three years ago, when they were facing Manchester United with the consciousness of the challenger, and even felt vaguely in their hearts: fight The Manchester United game is more important than any final.


    Different from the past, Millwall has gone from players to fans. No one thinks that Manchester United is a behemoth and can¡¯t be shaken. In the past three years, they have proved that they can compete with Manchester United on the same level and also have an overwhelming record of defeating their opponents. In the heart of the heart, there is no need to be afraid, and the rest is the majestic warfare. Show yourself, and have a high level of opponents to reflect a high level of self!


    At the start of the game, Manchester United kicked off first.


    After receiving the ball in the midfield and backcourt, Scholes calmly distributed the ball to Giggs on the left. Giggs did not rush to attack, but fell first with his teammates, let everyone touch the ball first, and stimulate the state. come out.


    Millwall did not **** for the time being. The two teams did not look like gunpowder. It seemed that even the determination to win was flat.


    In fact, today¡¯s league is not a life-and-death battle. Both teams are on a balanced level in terms of posture. Winning is the desired result, but first of all, it is necessary to ensure that there is no loss, and the phenomenon of aggressive attack is not changed in the score. It did not happen before.


    Beckham took the ball on the right and Ronaldinho harassed him on the side. The fans in the stands of the Lion''s Cave Stadium reacted dull. If they changed the fans of other stadiums, they might not be so polite to Beckham.


    The 98 World Cup''s Yu Wen is not gone. Beckham''s accusation has not been washed away. He just returned to Manchester United to play with peace of mind. As for Millwall fans, he did not accuse him, because Aldridge said in an interview that it should be given to Baker. Ham has some tolerance, waiting for him to return to the national team with action in the future.


    Beckham can only pass the ball when Ronaldinho is closely guarded on the right, breaking through not his strengths. Ronaldinho¡¯s defensive mission today is to stare at Beckham, no matter where the opponent goes, as long as it is defense, Ronaldinho It must stick to each other like a dog skin plaster.


    Keane didn''t dare to plug in a wide range of offense. He always stared at Nedved''s running position. Scholes is more like a midfielder, Cole and York on the front line, a forward. , A little behind, its position responsibility area is basically the same as the role of contemporary mainstream 442, how important is York bought by Manchester United? In the middle of the offense, York can hold the ball and make it for his companions. In this way, Manchester United¡¯s offense can be enhanced infinitely. In the past, Cantona also did this kind of work. At the same time, it also has the role of spiritual leader. Now, at least Manchester United has reached a limit in tactical play.


    York took the ball and gave it to the incisive Giggs. Giggs looked at Schneider and caught the incisive route and then took the outside line to cross the cross. Cole missed the front point, but York took the place and thanked him. Sget''s retracement speed is fast, and the ball is directly cleared out of the baseline.


    The performance of the two teams after the opening is striving for stability, the rhythm is tepid, the play is suddenly accelerated to create a killer, and the rhythm will not be pulled too fast all at once, which is risky, the attack is powerful, and the defense will also Expose more flaws.


    After Materazzi, Millwall''s high-altitude ball against the positioning ball was really reassuring. Beckham''s corner kick was directly pushed out by Materazzi, and he did not give Manchester United offensive players any chance. .


    There was applause from the stands, and the fans were very happy about the team''s new mainstay.


    Aldridge looked serious on the sidelines. Whenever Millwall turned from the defense, their offense would hit Ronaldinho''s side.


    The reason is also simple. Keane and Scholes want to cover the midfield defense. If it is a side defense, Pirlo and Nedved can explode their midfield defense.


    At first, Aldridge was worried that Ronaldinho could not be the key point in today''s tactics, but after ten minutes of watching, he felt relieved.


    "Ronaldinho took the ball, Beckham returned to the defense, he went to the inside route of the Brazilian, Neville lowered the center of gravity and was ready to block Ronaldinho''s forward route. How would he choose? Back Passed to reorganize the offense? Ronaldinho made a wonderful pass! He first made a breakthrough to the right, making Neville and Beckham''s center of gravity to the inside, followed by a spike change line, he Dribble the ball, then pass the ball! Fanny headers the header, but the header is too good, Schmeichel easily gets the ball."


    Aldridge praised the attack by applauding from the sidelines.


    Larson¡¯s threat on the other side required Giggs to withdraw widely. Manchester United was already familiar with Larson, and he did not need to say much about him. Therefore, Ronaldinho on the other side is the key figure to break the balance. At the same time, he As long as one-on-one can overwhelm Neville, it will force Beckham to put more energy into the defense. In this way, although Millwall may not necessarily have a greater advantage, but at least greatly weakened Manchester United¡¯s wings. power.


    If last season''s Manchester United, Millwall as long as he suppressed the opponent''s two sides, it is almost equal to the legs of the victory goddess, but this season''s Manchester United, there are more York in the frontcourt that can use the ball to make the ball, Manchester United even two All sides are suppressed, there is still a middle road that can be strong, and as long as York controls the ball, Manchester United''s two wings can then attack to respond.


    Ferguson also walked to the sidelines, instructing the disciples.


    Manchester United''s offensive advancement is too slow!


    Beckham''s speed is not fast, and when he rushes from the backcourt, Millwall has already completed the defense, and even if he receives the ball, the position of the ball is not very good.


    Zambrotta guarded the danger zone today and kept Beckham from approaching. If the opponent entered the 35-yard zone, he must stick to the opponent and steal the ball fiercely.


    Beckham is far from the penalty area, and his passing ball is threatening again, but the ball flight time is too long. As long as Millwall''s defensive player does not lose his position and does not miss people, his passing ball threat is close to zero.


    Ronaldinho once again gave a wonderful performance on the left side. When he drew the ball forward, he continuously stepped on the bicycle and swayed through Neville, but he was knocked back by Beckham.


    The referee came over to show Beckham a yellow card, and Ronaldinho stood up to pick up the ball.


    After putting the ball, Ronaldinho and Pirlo stood in front of the ball, the two bowed their heads and whispered, and then Pirlo walked away.


    Ronaldinho''s eyes have been staring at the opponent''s goal, everyone feels strange, does this guy have a free kick?


    He really has it, but he hasn''t been home yet, and he has planned to improve his free kick ability in training.


    Pirlo is standing in front of the arc of the penalty area. In such a stop, Manchester United must devote his energy to defend Pirlo, for fear that Ronaldinho will make the ball for the other side.


    When Ronaldinho stared firmly at the opponent''s goal and drove the ball out, the Manchester United player was not surprised to see the ball rolling towards Pirlo.


    The Brazilian kid really scared people!


    Ronaldinho didn''t directly attack the goal and passed the ball to Pirlo. Pirlo took the lead and Keen had already made a blocking action in front of him.


    However, Pirlo''s thigh with a bow was slowed down, and the ball rolled in front of him.


    Keane''s eyes widened in wonder, was Pirlo not ready?


    When the Manchester United players saw the ball rolling the course, they suddenly fell into a panic.


    Pirlo deliberately missed the ball. On his right, Schneider rushed to the position. He was in a very good position. He had sufficient shooting space and angle. It was almost the same as the starting point of the last time he broke the Manchester United gate.


    Manchester United players swarmed forward to block, but Schneider did not shoot a heavy artillery after swinging his legs, but instead set aside four or two kilograms. The ball jumped lightly and took an arc to the left of the depth of the penalty area!


    Pass the ball!


    A Millwall player outflanked the ball and volleyed against the falling ball. The ball hit the net!


    "Ronaldinho helped Millwall set the first record! This free-kick match was so wonderful. Ronaldinho took the free kick and inserted forward. Manchester United players are all concerned about the trajectory of the ball. Pirlo The ball was deliberately missed, and Schneider unexpectedly didn''t have a long shot but a high-ball diagonal pass to Ronaldinho''s forward point. The Brazilian teenager cleanly sent the ball into the goal without a mark. Inside. In the 28th minute of the first half, Millwall led."


    After Ronaldinho scored a goal, he ran to the corner flag and started a samba dance. The audience in the nearby stands blushed and applauded him.


    Aldridge touched his head on the sidelines and the team took the lead. Although it was not a goal scored by the offensive battle, at least the positioning of the offense also threatened.


    Ferguson adjusted the tactical layout on the sidelines.


    The Manchester United generals were depressed and depressed, but their spirits were not exhausted. There was more than an hour in the game. Even if they played away, they could not surrender early.


    Next, Manchester United''s posture has been adjusted, and it has not yet reached the level of radicalization, and focused on the left to make a fuss.


    Double forwards plus full midfield scheduling all left, Beckham dragged the ball without speed advantage on the right, and passed as many passes as possible. Even if it was not his assist before the final blow, the long pass transfer was also correct. The offense is of great help.


    York moved to the left in front of the penalty area, Scholes ambushed behind him, Cole pulled in a small area in the penalty area, plus Giggs made a threat on the left to break through, and Millwall defended on the right. Encountered very great pressure.


    Aldrich saw this scene and knew that the test for his team was coming. The key to mastering the trick was whether he could keep up with the changes of his opponents. Manchester United concentrated on the left. Millwall must respond in time to the defense and also adjust Focus on offense.


    When Cole tried to catch the ball in the penalty area and was squeezed by Materazzi, Millwall launched a counterattack. Makelele went straight to the left and Ronaldinho took the ball.


    After he took the ball, Aldridge looked at Ronaldinho to see how he would decide next.


    As a result, Ronaldinho disappointed Aldridge with a personal breakthrough.


    Now that Ronaldinho is talented and capable, but lacks game experience, he should notice that Beckham''s position is directly in front of him, and consciously formed a joint defense with Neville. Ronaldinho broke through Beckham, but was blocked Will saw the timing when he succeeded in stealing.


    If Ronaldinho is mature enough, he should divide the ball directly into the middle of the road immediately after receiving the ball. Manchester United is now obviously on the right to defend the heavy soldiers, focusing on the left, then there is a loophole on the left.


    Aldridge had to point to Ronaldinho, and then gestured to him to just pass the ball to the other side.


    When Ronaldinho saw it, he gestured to him, meaning he understood.


    The pair of masters and apprentices communicated in this way, as long as Ronaldinho could understand, he would use his thumb to signal.

 Chapter 340： roar

    Manchester United''s advantage in attacking on the left continues to accumulate, and Millwall''s counterattacks are increasingly threatening. After the score changes, the battle between Audridge and Ferguson and the war between the Red Devils and the Mad Lion become more and more intense.


    In the thirty-ninth minute of the first half, Giggs crossed from the left. York just took the ball in the penalty area and was about to swing his leg. Makelele succeeded in stealing and turned the ball straight into Pirlo running from back to front.


    Pirlo passed the ball straight to Nedved, who then passed the ball to Ronaldinho who cut in from the left. Ronaldinho took the ball laterally and looked at the gap to take the ball from Manchester United Passing between the back line and the midfielder line, Larson slapped the horse and used the speed of the rush to catch the ball and then passed Elvin. John Pine came up to stop him and Larson changed again. Going straight inside, as long as the breakthrough is past, it is a single shot, but the speed is too fast, Johnson also defended him fiercely, the two collided together, Larson fell, the referee signaled the game to continue, thinking that it was reasonable Clash.


    Larson stood up and sat down again, making a substitution gesture with one hand on the thigh.


    "Oops, Larson seems to be injured. He took the initiative to signal a replacement to the head coach. Millwall is going to be replaced passively."


    Aldridge''s face became ugly on the sidelines. The collision just now was not foul by the standards of the Premier League, and the collision of players is common on the football field. Whether it will be injured depends on physical fitness and whether the body is in time when the collision Self-protection makes posture changes.


    Larson has just made a move to change forward, and at this time they collided together. He was slightly passive during the collision, and the chance of injury became higher.


    Aldridge asked Glenchard to warm up, which was a passive substitution. At the same time, he simply exchanged two sentences with Jenson and asked Jenson to give Glenchard the task on the field. The rest of the first half of the game Not many, specifically, Aldridge will tell Glenchard in detail at halftime.


    Larson walked off the field with the help of the team doctor. Aldridge walked over and patted his shoulder as a comfort, then turned his head to watch the game.


    When Larson was not on the field, Aldridge immediately gestured to the offensive players in the frontcourt, allowing them to return to defense first to make up for the disadvantage of the number.


    But it was still a question of game experience. Both Fanny and Ronaldinho did not pay attention to the situation of the team temporarily playing one less player.


    The retreat was not large enough, giving Manchester United a good time to push the offensive.


    Especially Elvin, Larson came off the field, he had no defensive pressure on this side, so immediately took advantage of this opportunity to step forward.


    Manchester United still creates opportunities by forcing the left.


    Schneider didn''t fall against Giggs. Even if the opponent can pass the ball, the rhythm has been slowed down. Millwall''s defense has been arranged and it is very easy to defend.


    When Elvin came up, Giggs returned and Elvin continued to move the ball forward, Schneider was depressed.


    At this time, if Fanny is smart or has enough experience, he will either retreat to take the position of Nedved and let Nedved to help defend the side, or he will take the initiative to harass Elvin himself. Like the previous defense, follow Keane...


    Schneider had no choice but to go forward to squeeze Elvin. As a result of his move, Elvin unexpectedly passed the ball back to Giggs, and Giggs consciously inwardly, just entered the big penalty area After taking the ball and pretending to shoot, it attracted Millwall''s defensive attention, then faked a true pass, knocked back to the top of the penalty area, Scholes seemed to have a long shot, but the ball was missed and Baker ran up from behind. Ham slammed through Millwall''s defense. Cole and York, who had been pressing on the left, moved to the right almost at the same time. Southgate was disturbed by York. Cole pulled the ball laterally and vacated the space. Butt kicked the ball, but Bout fell to the ground to save but it didn''t help. The ball was drilled into the dead end against the post.


    "Manchester United equalized the score before the end of the first half! This time the offensive team played extremely well. They have been attacking the left and suddenly turned to the right. It is this rhythm change and the sudden transfer of the torn off that broke Millwall¡¯s Defense, Cole calmly fired, continuing the good competitive state last season."


    Ferguson saw the goal and kept applauding and was very satisfied with the disciples'' performance.


    Aldridge questioned Fanny and Ronald angrily.


    He looked angry, which was hard to see before.


    In the past, they played conservatively and played defensive counterattacks. Players tend to be more defensive in their consciousness and put the defense first.


    But it¡¯s different now. Although Millwall is not yet a big man, it is definitely a well-recognized strong team. Most of the time, he is playing against his opponents. Players like Shevchenko and Trezeguet are defensive, because they are From this stage, the housekeeping skills will not be lost.


    But Ronaldinho, Fanny, they hit the main force, is the offensive posture, in the order of attack on the defensive!


    Aldridge didn''t remind them either, but they didn''t take it seriously, the team took the lead, the first half was almost over, and their attention dropped.


    Fanny''s defensive position is problematic, Ronaldinho followed Beckham, followed, and when Beckham came to the frontcourt, he suddenly accelerated and ran forward, Ronaldinho slowed down a step, Beckham did not stop the ball, A straight kick in the ball, Ronaldinho watched his gate was broken.


    The crazy lion fans in the stands of the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium didn¡¯t expect this drop to make Aldridge so angry. It¡¯s strange that although they were a little depressed, they weren¡¯t lost or angry.


    Aldridge doesn''t care about losing the ball, which team can not drop the ball? But the key is the way to lose the ball, playing Manchester United, Beckham used a free kick to break the goal, he has nothing to say, some goals can not be blocked by God.


    But if losing the ball is a problem of his own, he can''t tolerate it, and it can be done within the player''s ability.


    Before the game restarted, Aldridge replaced Glenshare with only two minutes of stoppage time in the first half. Millwall first defended and allowed Glenshare to join the team.


    Manchester United equalized the score on the road and did not rush to attack. Under the situation of a balanced number of people, their so risky attack could not continue to be used. They were not countered by Millwall. It was their cooperation on the offensive end that was not tacit enough. Ronaldinho He and Fanny still need to accumulate a lot of game experience.


    Especially this critical battle!


    Aldridge walked into the player¡¯s tunnel with a sullen face. When the players walked into the locker room one by one, Aldridge closed the door heavily and scolded Fanny with angrily, "When I deliberately let you strengthen the defense, You have to realize that you need to do more than just the standard required before the game. Henrik got injured and we played one less. Elvin assists. Can''t you see it?"


    Fanny bowed his head and dare not show up, nor did he justify.


    Aldridge turned and roared to Ronaldinho again: "I said before the game that you would stare at Beckham while defending. You patted your chest to assure me that it could be done. The result? He assisted his teammate in front of you. Break the goal!"


    Ronaldinho did not bow his head, but sincerely whispered to Aldridge: "I''m sorry, boss."


    Aldridge waved his hand and said, "Don''t apologize to me, you have failed your teammates."


    He looked around all the players again and said coldly: "In the past four years, we have created glory and achieved certain achievements. If this makes some of you think that you can enjoy your success in the future, trophies and honors will be sent to you automatically. , Then you are over, completely over, there will be no more achievements in your career! You can¡¯t forget the greatest condition for creating success, that is, your own efforts! Work harder than others, work harder than your opponents, because you pay more than others More is the chance to succeed, not to be born with success! In the second half, I need to see you take the highest concentration, the strongest determination to win, defend our goal together, and destroy the opponent''s goal together!"


    Ronaldinho immediately said: "Boss, I know."


    Aldridge immediately replied: "I don''t know! You should say I can do it! I can do better than expected!"


    Ronaldinho said loudly, "Boss, I can do it! I will do better than you hope!"


    Fanny quickly raised his head and shouted, "I will do it too!"


    Aldrich''s face eased a bit, he didn''t want to get angry, but he couldn''t get angry, that is, the young players who had just been promoted to the main need to understand the reality at the right time.


    I have to say that many young players who "marry into the giants" have some thoughts that it will be easier to come to the strong team to succeed. You cannot say that such an idea is wrong. The reality is that it is easier for the giants to get results However, if this kind of thinking lowers its own requirements, then the giants may always have good results, but when it comes to merit rewards, the contribution of the players must be different. Those players with fluke psychology, I am afraid that most All are marginal figures.


    Aldridge began to adjust the tactics in the second half, not to mention against the opponent, just need to adjust itself, Larson and Glenn Charles, that are obviously two different styles of players.


    Before the second half started, Aldridge walked back to the sidelines, he sat down and waited quietly for the game to start.


    Ferguson also sat down. Manchester United equalized the score. Although he wouldn''t say it, he was satisfied with the draw.


    The Manchester United club is in a troubled autumn. Of course, the team''s record should be mainly stable, lest his coach be criticized, especially when there may be a new boss.


    At the beginning of the second half, Millwall''s style of play completely changed.


    Ronaldinho rarely made a breakthrough after taking the ball on the left, but organized on the spot. After attracting Manchester United''s defensive attention, Ronaldo scored the ball for Nedved or Pirlo.


    The transition from the midfield to the right side allowed Glenchard to hit Elvin. Last year, Glenchard did not fall against Elvin. This year Elvin is one year old, but Glenchard is more mature. Playing football is sharper.


    In the second half, Millwall''s attention was very concentrated, and at least there was no problem with the attitude of the offense and defense.


    "Ronaldinho''s position and role on the field are more like a frontal midfielder. It''s a bit weird to say so, but it''s true. With his active cooperation with Pirlo and Nedved, Millwall''s control of the midfield suddenly improved, and the taste of samba football was faintly played. It was really a pleasure to see Ronaldinho''s technical move from the spot. Pirlo stopped the ball and turned the ball, elegantly and calmly, Ned Vader''s play is concise, and with the speed impact of the Glenshire launch on the right, the Lion''s Cave Stadium is Hollywood by the Thames!"


    Glenn Charles broke through the bottom pass on the right, the bottom pass, the bottom pass, three consecutive bottom passes, two Fanny grab points, one shot was saved by Schmeichel, one original After buckling Stam, Keane returned to defend and destroyed the shot from behind. Gradually, Manchester United paid more attention to Fanny''s marking.


    Ferguson looked slightly nervous.


    The problems of the left back, left back, Manchester United left back are exposed again, Elvin is indeed old, and now is the world of young people, facing Glenn Gill and rushing him with speed, Elvin can only except fouls Shrink the bottom line to prevent the opponent from cutting inwards...

 Chapter 341： Give and return

    The focus battle at the Lion''s Cave Stadium has become fierce. After Millwall actively speeds up, Manchester United has more opportunities to defend against the counterattack.


    But Manchester United encountered a new problem.


    When Larson was on the court, the impact on the wing was actually not large, because Larsen''s greater threat was to run back to the goal after an empty cut.


    So Giggs didn¡¯t have to go back too deep on defense, but Glennshire was almost tortured Elvin after playing. Giggs could not turn a blind eye on the opposite wing, knowing that Millwall is missing Larson, the threat from the middle to the goal has been reduced, but always let Glenchard make a bottom pass. Who dares to ensure that the defense can be foolproof? Just now Fanny missed two good opportunities to grab points.


    Giggs can only pull back deeper, so when counterattacking, Manchester United''s wings cannot fly. If you go in the middle, the speed of advancement is slower. Without talking about Makelele, Pirlo is not a transparent person.


    In fact, Manchester United and Millwall have now reached the point where they are in a fierce pair.


    Keane v Nedved, Scholes v Pirlo.


    If Makelele would step forward and participate in the offensive, York¡¯s retracement would be deeper.


    Both sides are a center defender, a center defender is responsible for interception in time.


    Millwall''s main offensive end was changed by two, plus Larson''s end, it means that the Trident is not the main force of last season, so the tactical level has been unable to gain an advantage.


    Aldrich recognizes this, so he gives them more freedom and allows them to use their technical characteristics boldly.


    Ronaldinho did not break through in the second half, and the ball possession increased, more like a classic front waist, but the position was on the left side of the middle.


    In the nineteenth minute of the second half, Pirlo handed the ball to Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho faced the front and back of Neville and Beckham''s sandwiches. He suddenly drew the ball laterally and broke out. He took the ball to the middle of the road. Nedved forward, and Keane immediately followed Nedved when he saw it, so Ronaldinho had room to move forward.


    Scholes withdrew from the situation after seeing a bad situation. Ronaldinho passed the ball to Pirlo who inserted it. Pirlo just stopped the ball. Scholes, who came back halfway, chose to release it. shovel.


    Pirlo pulled the ball away, but he didn''t avoid Scholes'' shovel, and the whole person fell to the ground.


    Aldridge collapsed, because Pirlo fell to the ground and did not get up.


    "Fuck fuck!"


    Ferguson came out and explained to the fourth official that the player''s action was not a malicious foul. Audridge asked Lampard to warm up, the team doctor entered the field, and the referee warned Scholes with a yellow card.


    Aldridge walked to the fourth official with a sullen face. Ferguson just finished speaking and said to Aldridge: "Paul is not a malicious foul. You see it clearly, it was just an accident."


    "What I see is very clear, my player is injured, and it is two, the main force!"


    Larson first, then Pirlo.


    It''s really bad for years.


    Ferguson took the initiative to comfort him and said: "Everyone will encounter this kind of thing. Larson''s collision is normal. Paul''s tackle, uh, he actually won''t tackle at all. It was an accident just now."


    Aldridge doesn¡¯t want to make trouble for no reason. Scholes will defend, but won¡¯t tackle. It¡¯s a strange phenomenon.


    He walked back to the sideline to explain to Lampard, and then substituted.


    Pirlo was lifted down by a stretcher, and the wound was not serious. It was known after inspection.


    Then as soon as the Manchester United players get the ball, the fans in the stands will boo.


    From a neutral point of view, Larson and Pirlo''s injuries are not malicious fouls, but the two main players were injured in a game, of course the fans could not accept it.


    Lampard needs to be familiar with the rhythm after playing, so do the defensive work first.


    Manchester United thought that they could get a chance to counterattack. Giggs made a 45-degree fast pass on the left and was beaten by Bout.


    Makelele passed the ball to Ronaldinho in the frontcourt. Ronaldinho shot the ball and knocked on the middle of the road. Lampard stepped forward and then the ball was also shot. The ball came to the feet of Glencharr. There was a lot of space, and Giggs hadn''t returned yet. Elvin was frightened by him. He had already returned to stand in advance, fearing that he would be exposed when he threw himself behind him.


    Glenn Charles observed the situation, Keane still defended Nedved, Scholes stared at Lampard, Ronaldinho''s running route was inward, so that Neville and Stam were facing the enemy.


    After launching, Glenchard staged the kind of speed shock that looked like "the stadium was going backwards."


    Elvin saw his pupil shrink when he saw Glenchar''s running path after rushing.


    Little Bunny, where the **** are you!


    Come to me!


    I''m here!


    After 40 yards from the bottom line, Glenshare directly shifted the ball diagonally towards the penalty area, and Elvin was directly cooled on the sidewalk. At the same time, Johnson grabbed and intercepted Glenshire.


    But Glencharr rushed up really could not stop!


    Johnson was a step slower, and Glennshire was almost knocked down by the opponent. He almost readjusted the pace at a rhythm of two or three steps, and took a decisive shot from the right side in front of the penalty area!


    The ball crossed a beautiful inner arc and appeared to be out of the bottom line after flying, but it came back around during the flight. Then, the audience saw Schmeichel flying to the limit, but his fingertips could not touch When it comes to the ball, it''s the dead end of the goal.


    The goal is scored...


    The audience briefly fell into two seconds of silence, followed by the cheers of mountains and tsunami!


    "Glencarre''s wonderful personal performance! He went straight from the right to the middle. Johnson failed to stop him. The referee''s whistle was in his mouth. When he saw that Glenchart did not fall, he signaled the game to continue. Lenchard used a kick to stun four long shots and penetrated Manchester United''s gate to help Millwall lead the opponent 2-1. This will definitely be one of the most wonderful goals Glennshire has left in his memory!"


    Aldridge waved his fists on the side of the court, his face ugly, and his mouth did not know what he was talking about.


    Of course, he and the people behind him can hear clearly.


    He was scolding.


    "Grass, grass, grass, **** football! Grass mud horses! This game is so terrible! The two main forces of Lao Tzu are hurt, and I won''t give Lao Tzu a victory anymore. Where can I justify it?"


    After Glencorre scored the goal, he took off the jersey and rushed to the coach seat with excitement. He dropped the jersey on the grass and ran to hug Moniz who was sitting on the coach seat.


    In the new season, because of the departure of Benitez and Torop, Moniz entered the first team coaching team, but his work task has increased, not only to be responsible for the first team training, but also to consider the youth team to cultivate young player skills guide.


    It''s been the fifth year for Glenchard to come to the team. This is the fifth year. Since Millwall hired Mullensteen and Moniz, the technical guidance for Glenchard is that Moniz is in charge.


    His goal just now comes from the superb technique of combining other people''s **** and the long-range technology that has been significantly improved from three years ago.


    This is done day after day, year after year, and it¡¯s hard work. Grenchar is most grateful to Moniz. It is Moniz who accompanied him to watch the video and personally guided him in technical movement training. He today The improvement is inseparable from the painstaking efforts of Moniz.


    After embracing Glennell and Moniz and high-fiving with Aldridge, he waved his arms to the stands on the sidelines, which caused fans to applaud and cheer.


    The referee''s yellow card punishes Glenchard for stripping to celebrate.


    Ferguson''s expression was a bit tangled, not anger but more depressed.


    Thinking of his digging Mullenstin was rejected, he felt very sorry.


    The technical capabilities of the new batch of young talents in Millwall are clearly superior, and they have maximized their strengths.


    Ferguson had hoped that Mullensteen would come to Manchester United to help Manchester United develop a rookie, but Mullensdin told Ferguson simply: Not that the conditions given by Manchester United are not good, nor that Manchester United is not attractive to me, but that Manchester United''s talent reserve is completely better Not on Millwall.


    Cultivate and train, teach according to the aptitude, a player with a famous teacher may not be successful, he must also have talent.


    Aldridge is very pleased. Glenn Charl has now kicked off the habit of classical wingers, but combined with the play of modern wingers. The goal just now was typical.


    With less than 15 minutes left in the game, Manchester United started to counterattack, but they could not control the ball. Millwall firmly controlled the rhythm. Aldridge let the team shrink back. If Manchester United dared to make a big push, Millwall was ahead. The trident is not slow, and it is not as easy to cut back and cut vegetables.


    Aldridge sat back, and Jenson suddenly turned his head and asked him: "I was thinking just now, if Giggs is brought to us, can he be transformed into a wing like Glennshire."


    After thinking about it, Aldridge shook his head and said: "I don''t know, the two are in different positions. One wing forward, one is a winger, Giggs is more assists than goals, my requirement for Glenn Charles is that goals are greater than assists, Nothing is unclear about what has not been tried."


    "If Giggs can have the number of goals that Ovimas scored at Arsenal last season, Manchester United may become very scary."


    "I don''t see it that way, so Giggs'' assists have dropped, it doesn''t mean that Manchester United''s goals will increase more."


    After thinking about it for a while, Jenson shook his head and sighed. This kind of problem can only be thought about, but there is no fact but no conclusion.


    Last season, one of the heroes of Arsenal''s championship was Peter Pan Ovimas. He scored 12 goals in 32 league games. Although Giggs broke through sharply, he was not a winger but a left in position and function. Midfielder or left-back, the number of league goals per season is very stable, about seven, but more assists, although there are also thousands of miles to perform alone, but that is not a common way to break the goal.


    He is a typical team player, using his own characteristics to help the team win.


    Although Aldridge did not completely abandon the wing''s tactical play, he has not used much. Occasionally, Van der Med and Duff will play this role. He prefers to use the winger and has higher requirements for the ability of the winger. That is, it is necessary for the winger to break the stalemate or change the situation on his own in a situation of stalemate.


    Ronaldinho and Glenchard both played such a characteristic today. Ronaldinho attracted each other''s key defense through his personal ability. Glenchard suddenly gave Manchester United a fatal blow.


    At the end of the game, Manchester United rushed to the court. Millwall played another counterattack at the right time. Ronaldinho and Glencharre replaced. On the right, Ronaldinho also took the ball and followed Glenchart. The course of the ball rushed forward. Facing Manchester United''s last line of defense, Stam and Johansson, Ronaldinho did not choose to take a long shot, but instead passed the ball to Ned after the Fanny attracted Stam. Vader, Nedv¨§d made a heavy shot in the penalty area and Schmeichel had surrendered, but the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar.


    In the regret that he could not expand the score, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the match.


    Crazy Lions beat Red Devils Manchester United at 2:1 at home. The price of victory is a bit big. They lost two main forces!

 Chapter 342： Dont want to be mayor

    When the whole game ended, cheers broke out in the stands of the Lion Cave Stadium like the deep blue ocean. The first home game of the new season, they not only won, but also defeated the traditional giants like Manchester United, a new generation of crazy lions There was no sign of a sharp drop in strength.


    Aldridge walked quietly to shake hands with Ferguson, and the two simply exchanged words and turned and left.


    In the VIP box, Aldrich¡¯s two elder brothers are here, and there is a man next to them, a man about thirty years old, who looks ordinary but gives a stable and reliable temperament.


    Barnett in a suit and leather suit stood among the three. He did the same as Andrew. He put his hands in his pockets and overlooked the court. From time to time, he whispered with the man next to him.


    "Barnet, I admit that this little cousin is a genius, but from his resume, the advice he can give me may be very limited."


    Barnett smiled.


    Andrew turned his head to the man and said, "Brights, don''t question Aldridge''s ability to surprise people. He never gives anyone any advice easily, but once he speaks, then you only need to do one thing, Remember every word he said carefully, and then execute it accurately and without error, in the end, you will get an unexpected return."


    Blaze shrugged noncommittally and asked: "Even if his suggestion will affect your life? Do you obey?"


    Barnett turned to hug Blitz and chuckled, "Then you should do what he said! Because that will definitely change your life."


    Blaze smiled bitterly: "Are you listening to every suggestion?"


    Barnet replied: "I hope he gives me a suggestion every day so that I will soon become the richest man in the world."


    Andrew laughed, and the three quickly left the box.


    Aldridge returned to the locker room to praise the team''s performance in the second half. Even though Ronaldinho and Fanny failed to make intuitive statistical contributions, their defensive efforts are obvious to all. This is worthy of Aldridge to praise them.


    Coming to the post-match press conference, Ferguson has left. He expressed his disappointment with the results of the match. He believes that Manchester United and Millwall are comparable in strength. Manchester United should be more dominant. Even if they play away, they should at least get a draw. , But luck did not stand on the side of Manchester United.


    He always believed that Glennshire''s winning goal belonged to the lucky ball.


    Facing the reporter''s inquiry based on Ferguson''s remarks, Aldridge''s expression was as usual as usual: "He is right, there is not much strength difference between the two teams. The key is to play on the spot. We restricted Beckham most of the time. , Giggs, Scholes play, this is the reason why we finally won, failed to allow Manchester United to score more goals, first of all the defensive credit, second on the offensive line, Millwall played today Not very good, at least I am not satisfied, our two goals, one is the positioning ball cooperation, the other is relying on the player''s personal ability, now these main players are far from meeting my requirements, they still have potential, can slowly Digging is expected to reach its peak within two to three years."


    "How are Pirlo and Larson''s injuries? Will it affect the team''s recent games?"


    David Miller is more concerned about this issue.


    After Barak was released in the summer, once Pirlo had an injured stop at this critical position, Millwall''s attack would be inestimable.


    Although there is still a Lampard in the team, his performance in the past two years has not impressed the outside world, or that football professionals who care about Millwall are discussing where Lampard should play.


    Millwall''s three midfielders have a reasonable division of labor, defensive midfielder, postponed organization, and attacking midfielder.


    Lampard seemed to be able to play in every position, but he didn''t play well in every position, a little versatile but mediocre.


    "According to the initial diagnosis by the team doctors, the two may be absent for at least one month of the game. The detailed results need to be checked before they are known. Of course, losing these two will have a blow to Millwall, but this is football, there is no club. The main player is not injured, and mature teams, especially strong teams, should face this situation with ordinary heart. As the coach, I will do my best to make up for the loss of strength that will result from the loss of the soldiers. Millwall will Overcome this difficulty."


    After the game, Aldridge''s mentality has calmed down. When the player is injured, his mind is hot, of course he will be angry or worried, but when the facts cannot be changed, he will think from another angle: this is also his challenge.


    Which top coach has not experienced the dilemma after a major injury? If you can lead the team to overcome the difficulties and come out of the quagmire, then you are a dragon. If you can''t get out, then you are just a mess.


    Millwall has gone through so many main forces in the summer. At the beginning of the new season, he injured two more. Audric also wants to win the league title. Deep down, he thinks that it is more exciting than in the past.


    After the press conference, Aldridge drove away from the club. He was going to the airport to meet Melanie. The hot girl group''s global tour is about to sing in North America. She stole two days of vacation and returned to London to meet Aldrich.


    While driving to the airport, Barnett called.


    "Eating? Can you change the sky?"


    "I want to talk to you about something important."


    "Do you want to keep it secret?"


    "What do you mean?"


    "I''m going to pick up my girlfriend, can I go together?"


    "Melanie, it''s okay, come on."


    After hanging up the phone, Aldridge was curious and didn''t know what important thing the elder brother had to find himself.


    If it is a business matter, he is really not interested, mainly because he is out of stock.


    He can say everything, as long as Barnett grasps the mainstream direction and trend, and divides the Internet market as soon as possible. After the market matures in the future, the company will go public and get rich overnight. It is no problem that now it is billions of billionaires. .


    Aldrich now owns how much money he has, with nearly ten million pounds in his private account. In the past two years, Barnett will pay the company dividends to his account, and the value of his shares in the company is not very concerned. The Millwall Club is now his private property, the club¡¯s estimated value has exceeded 200 million pounds.


    On the street outside the airport, Melanie was carrying a leisure bag, a refreshing white dress, and sunglasses covering her face. When Aldridge parked the car on the roadside, she pulled in the car door and sat in. The sentence is: "Victoria let me thank you."


    "no need thank me?"


    Aldridge sent a car to the hotel to meet Barnett.


    Melanie laughed: "Of course speaking for Beckham."


    Aldrich shook his head and said: "It has nothing to do with personal relations. I just expressed my opinion and changed others. I will say the same."


    He was right and wrong, letting the outside world tolerate Beckham, but not to see who face, just like he would not whitewash Beckham''s red card.


    Red cards for retaliatory actions are not controversial, but how to look at them is another matter, and ascending to national sinners is indeed overkill.


    "Anyway, she thank you. Where is this?"


    "Barnet please eat."


    Melanie was in a hurry, and she took a two-day vacation and ran back to London to only want a world with Aldridge.


    Aldridge showed an apologetic expression to her and said, "He said he has important things to talk to me about."


    Melanie smiled and said, "I understand, then go and see what''s delicious."


    After waiting in the hotel''s box, Audridge discovered that today''s dinner was not just Barnett''s invitation, not only Andrew was present, but also a man he didn''t know.


    Barnett took the initiative to open a seat for Melanie and smiled: "Your influence in the United States surprised me."


    Melanie sat down and asked curiously: "Will you go to the concert?"


    Barnett shook his head: "It''s too busy, I don''t have time, I will go to the show next time."


    He is not a compliment to Melanie. The sensation caused by the Spice Girls'' group''s entry into North America is obvious to all. The tickets for the concert were sold out early.


    Aldrich politely extended his right hand to the strange man and said, "Hello, first meeting, Aldridge Hall, this is my girlfriend, Melanie Chisholm."


    Instead of shaking hands with him, the other person opened his hands and hugged Aldridge briefly.


    He smiled: "No, we are not meeting for the first time. The last time we met was fifteen years ago. At that time, uh, you should be around six or seven years old, probably, so high."


    He gestured off the ground with his hand, Aldridge looked surprised, and asked: "Is it? Fifteen years ago? The memory is not clear."


    Aldridge recalled carefully. Although he was ten years old when he traversed, his previous memories are still preserved, but it is normal for a long time.


    Andrew laughed aside: "Aldrich, he is our cousin, Blaze Hall. Before he became the mayor, he would visit our house once a year, but every time he came, you wouldn¡¯t At home, who told you not to be home for almost ten months a year."


    Aldridge suddenly realized this, and said, "So you are the son of Uncle Brook. I often hear Arthur mention you."


    Brook and Arthur are brothers, but Brooke pursued his current wife to settle in other counties when he was young. I don''t know if it was because the Arthur family was getting richer, and their relationship became dull.


    Arthur would visit his brother at Brook''s house many times a year, and Odridge would occasionally hear him mention Uncle Brook and his son Blitz.


    This is the right number.


    Everyone was seated one after another. Aldridge was sitting on the left hand with Melanie, opposite Blitz. Before the meal came, Aldridge and Blitz gradually became familiar through conversation.


    This nearly thirty cousin is really amazing. He is a civil servant. He is the mayor of Kent and a member of the Conservative Party. Unfortunately, his rank is a bit low.


    Aldrich admires the other party sincerely. If he does not have the advantage of a prophet, he will certainly not be as high as the other party.


    But Blitz was even more appreciative of Aldrich. Arthur¡¯s three children were really brothers and brothers. His business was booming. Who wouldn¡¯t envy?


    When the dinner started, Aldridge communicated with Melanie which dishes were delicious and delicious, and when he ate, he suddenly turned his head and asked Barnett: "Did you say there is something wrong with me?"


    Barnett took a napkin and wiped his mouth, and said seriously: "Blaze doesn''t want to be the mayor."


    Aldridge looked at the cousin unexpectedly and asked, "Is the mayor bad? Are you planning to switch? Do you do business?"


    Blaze shook his head with a smile.


    Barnett continued: "I mean, he wants to go further on his career, the mayor, and his position is a little low."


    Aldridge was confused and asked rhetorically: "But I''m not a politician, and I don''t know big figures in politics, I can''t help."


    After he said this, he was stunned, then bowed his head and began to think deeply.


    It seemed that he thought of something...

 Chapter 343： Careers

    Aldridge roughly understood what Barnett said earlier about important things.


    Until the end of the dinner, everyone said that Aldridge didn''t say much. No matter whether Barnett and Blaze tried or bluntly asked, he used a cautious tone to say that he would go home and think about it.


    He knew his position in Barnett''s heart, and once he opened his mouth, it would make Barnett make decisions quickly.


    On the way back to the villa in the suburbs, Melanie yawned on her journey. She leaned back in her seat and turned to stare at Aldridge, who was thinking about driving.


    "Your cousin wants to be promoted. What does this have to do with you? Even your eldest brother made a special trip. I think it''s a big deal."


    Aldrich stretched out a hand to squeeze her face and sighed: "It''s not as simple as you think, things can''t just look at the surface."


    Melanie held his palm, put half of his face in his palm, closed his eyes comfortably, and thought, "Is it complicated?"


    "That''s right, my elder brother''s idea is very simple, that is to make the Hall family become the top celebrity giants in the UK. This can''t depend on riches, even if I received the knightly medal from the royal family two months ago. No matter what, Blitz is a member of our big family. The elder brother wants to support him in political development. In the short term, he may not see anything, but in the long run, my elder brother is really ambitious."


    Melanie laughed: "Brights is still a mayor at the age of thirty. What can he do in the future by himself? By the way, show me your medal."


    "Uh, it''s in the apartment, let''s change the sky."


    The Knight Medal was awarded to him by the British royal family, commending his achievements in leading the English team in the Champions League. This kind of honor is not equal to the football score. It is not that Aldridge will be awarded the Champions League. It is the positive influence he has constantly created over the years and the influence it has brought to the British society. The team won the Champions League championship is just an opportunity.


    Aldridge is still thinking about things while driving, whether it is a family or a consortium, but anyone with strong capital can''t bypass the field of political connections. Barnett specially brought Blitz to Aldridge today. Because Blitz doesn¡¯t want to be the mayor?


    If it is, there is no difference from what Melanie said: make a big fuss.


    To support a small councillor to climb up, the lower the level, the more money can be piled up, but at a certain level, money is only a basic guarantee.


    Behind the ballot politics is the war of money. Those who have more campaign funds behind them can make more influence and get more votes.


    What Barnett wants to invest in is politics. In addition, he specifically pointed out that Blitz is a little conservative MP. Obviously, the other party is considering whether to become the conservative party''s behind-the-scenes sponsor.


    In fact, Barnett¡¯s choices are few, because the Labor Party has just come to power, it is when the spring breeze, when he ran to open relations with the Labor Party, even if it is a lot of money, but it is only icing on the cake, but now put the investment on the Conservative Party, then It¡¯s different, it¡¯s a matter of giving away from the snow, but the key to the problem is that no one can guarantee when the Labor Party will step down. If the Conservative Party has been suppressed for many years since then, Barnett¡¯s financial support will be floated. Of course, there are measures to avoid risks. , European gaming companies will open the political campaign, as long as they put down some bets on their opponents, then no matter what the outcome, at least the loss will be minimized.


    When Aldridge drove home, Melanie was asleep. He carefully took her back to the villa, and then the two bathed together before going to bed.


    An idea lingered in his mind.


    At midnight, he got out of bed, walked to the balcony and smoked a cigarette, and then took out the phone to call Barnett.


    The eldest brother has fallen asleep, and after a long time before answering the phone, the voice is normal.


    "It''s so late, there must be something important, say it."


    "If you want to support Blaze to make a difference in politics, go find someone."


    "Who are you looking for? The big one on Downing Street?"


    "No, if I remember correctly, he has orthodox royal lineage. I don''t know how it is mixed up now, but you can bet on him. This man''s name is Cameron."


    "Cameron... is it a surname or a name? What about the full name?"


    "I forgot."


    "Aldrich, I don''t understand. You can''t even remember a person''s name, but let me bet on him."


    "In short, he should be a member of the Conservative Party. Well, I''m going to bed, good night."


    Aldridge hung up the phone.


    In the future, the British Prime Minister, he still remembers the name, but where is the goods now, how could he possibly know.


    It is not difficult to find a person with orthodox royal lineage in Britain. Although the royal family has only a symbolic meaning, it is still a face. Therefore, the death of Princess Diana has also been accused of conspiracy theory as a black hand under the royal family.


    Aldrich stands on the balcony and looks up at the stars, the stars are shining brightly, waiting for Cameron to come to power, which is a dozen years later, but investment politics is definitely a long-term investment. The longer the time, the stronger the alliance barriers. And before Cameron took down Downing Street, he will surely become the leader of the Conservative Party, and big figures like the party whip are all energetic. Under such circumstances, even if Blaze¡¯s career cannot be smooth, as long as he himself If you do not make a mistake, you can sail smoothly.


    Just as he dug up football superstars in advance, the development of the family business can also take shortcuts in this way.


    Now that Cameron had been thought of, Aldridge took out his phone and sent a text message to Barnett.


    Only two lines were written.


    Germany, female, Merkel.


    America, male, Obama.


    ...


    Speaking of European and American leader-level politicians, Aldridge can only remember these three in the future. Cameron is because he is young, Merkel is because she is a woman. Needless to say, Obama is the leader of the US emperor. Who doesn''t know the characters?


    It''s not that Aldridge didn''t know Blair, Bush and other people, it''s useless to know, and football is the same reason, everyone is well-known star, do you need to say?


    After thinking about it, Aldridge returned to the bedroom, but Melanie woke up. She was sitting on the bed, and the half of the sling in the silk pajamas fell on the elbow. She stared helplessly at Aldridge and asked, "Do you not want me?" ?"


    Aldridge made a standing start and smiled, "My answer is here."


    After saying that, he took two steps and then fell directly to the bed. Melanie screamed on his back, and was then pressed by Aldridge.


    ...


    The next day, the team was on vacation for half a day. Aldridge accompanied Melanie to go shopping in the early morning. In fact, neither of them was a shopaholic. Shopping is to relax and relax. There are many parks with beautiful scenery in London. When they are together, they often look like old men. Wife walked hand in hand in the park.


    After lunch at noon, Melanie wanted to return to Liverpool to reunite with her family, while Aldridge had a job. The two had been tired of being in the airport waiting hall for a long time before they were reluctant to part.


    On the way to the club by car, Aldridge received a strange call.


    "Hello, Aldrich Hall, hello, which one?"


    "Aldrich, how are you doing?"


    He heard this voice and asked hesitantly, "Mr. Bobby Robson?"


    "Yes."


    "Oh, I''ve been doing well recently. I heard that you have gone to the Netherlands to teach again. Congratulations."


    Bobby Robson returns to Eindhoven as a firefighter. Eindhoven¡¯s summer player supermarket opens. Cenden, Koko and other generals are swept away by European powers. His life should not be easy, but the coach I have seen any big winds and waves, and should be able to live with it.


    "Oh, I called you because I wanted to ask you something."


    "Oh, you talk about it."


    "Milwall is recruiting first-team coaches and assistant coaches, right?"


    "Yes, two of my assistants left in the summer and there are vacancies in the coaching job."


    "I recommend a person to you, I hope you can agree to use him, this person is a little young, but I think, in your style, this is not a problem."


    A man appeared in Aldridge''s head and smiled: "Is Mourinho? If he is willing to come to Millwall, he will go to work without an interview."


    "Ah? Jose? No, he has a job in Barcelona. I''m not talking about him."


    "what?"


    Aldridge was confused.


    Came to Millwall as a coach, Bobby Robson personally recommended, and said that this man is young.


    Aldridge only thought of Mourinho.


    Does the Magic Bird like to stay in Barcelona?


    "Oh, what''s the name of the person you recommend?"


    "Vilas Boas. He used to be my assistant four years ago when he was 17 years old and 21 years old this year. He did not come to the Netherlands with me. His dream is to lead the team as a master. Coach, I think if he goes to study with you, it will be of great help to him in the future. Of course, he will definitely complete the work you have arranged for him. Don¡¯t look at his youth. His understanding of football is far beyond Peers."


    Aldridge remembered it now, his feelings were Boas.


    Mourinho¡¯s younger brothers were all coaches or assistants who initially followed Robson.


    Looking at Boas in the eyes of more than ten years later, objectively speaking, it is remarkable.


    Although he failed to prove himself in the mainstream leagues and first-tier teams, he is young. Considering his age, he can stand in the position of coach of the Premier League, and he is still an inexperienced player. Head coach, this is similar to Aldridge.


    "Boas, um, I know, let him come and come to work as a first team coach. We have many young people here and the atmosphere is very good. At least he doesn''t have to worry about the pressure caused by his age."


    "Oh, okay, I will let him go to Millwall for a formal job search."


    Aldridge then chatted with Robson again, then hung up, and soon he came to the club.


    Without worrying about going to the training ground, he first went to the personnel department to ask for application information.


    Millwall recruits talents, there are many people who come to recommend themselves, and even some of the coaches in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League also want to change jobs, but that will pass the information through the middleman, and will not send the cover letter to the door, otherwise if it is exposed Isn¡¯t it right?


    Aldridge went through the job resumes one by one and found Velas Boas inside.


    In fact, Boaz''s cover letter was delivered to the club the day before yesterday. After waiting for two days, there was no news, so he asked Robson to come forward.


    He wanted to study at Millwall very much. What Aldridge didn''t know was that Boas almost regarded him as an idol...


    Yeah, the young coach who has never played football is almost a template with Boas. With the knowledge of football since childhood, Boas can become Robson¡¯s assistant at the age of 17, but it¡¯s not a pie in the sky. The accumulation of hard-earned football knowledge has helped him get such an opportunity.


    Aldridge took out Boas¡¯s resume and handed it to the staff. The person who replaced Tolope¡¯s position chose Boas, withdrew the recruitment information, and responded to the results of other candidates.


    He began to look at another stack of cover letters, the position of assistant coach, Benitez''s departure also needs a successor.


    Looking back page by page, Aldridge stopped suddenly, and he saw a familiar name, and it was no stranger to European football.


    Klinsmann!

 Chapter 344： Shiny Schneider

    Aldrich took out Klinsmann¡¯s resume, and the German golden bomber was very serious. He wrote his resume on his resume, and then wrote clearly that he does not have a coaching license, but he will pass the assessment as soon as possible. At least get the qualification of a general coach, at the same time, he believes that his player experience will help Millwall.


    Mo said that Klinsmann¡¯s name is irresistible to European football. The German tramp also left a glorious footprint in the Premier League. His club¡¯s final journey ended in Tottenham and played again in the second half of last season. Tottenham''s Klinsmann turned the tide and scored 9 goals to help Tottenham successfully leave the relegation zone. He was regarded as a legend by White Deer Lane.


    I don''t know if I was stimulated by my younger partner, Loew. Klinsmann announced his retirement after the World Cup and did not settle in the United States according to the original history, but immediately applied for a job from Millwall.


    Luff¡¯s player career is not brilliant, but he used to be a teammate with Klinsmann and assisted each other. After retiring, he became a more famous young coach in German football. He led Stuttgart and Chelsea to the European Winners Cup final last season. It¡¯s a pity In the end, he missed a small goal and missed the championship, otherwise, Loew will also be hailed as the leader of the new generation of young commanders.


    Aldridge began to think about Klinsmann¡¯s cover letter.


    The first thing he thought of was the disadvantage.


    Klinsmann is a good player and a well-known head coach in the future, but now, he is a rookie among the coaches. If Aldridge uses him, it is estimated that in the early stage, he will have to adapt him to Millwall and the job.


    There are more favorable factors, first of all, fame, Klinsmann will bring more popularity to the club.


    The second is that Klinsmann¡¯s players have rich experience and cross-country European countries. This advantage allows him to provide the coaching staff with many things that the general coach does not have.


    Finally, there are contacts. Although Klinsmann has a similar relationship with some big players in the German national team, he must have his own personal network in German football. Taking advantage of this, he can also help Millwall as a coach. Outside contribution.


    According to such calculations, Aldrich believes that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. At the current level, there must be many other job applicants who are more capable than Klinsmann, but as long as Klinsmann¡¯s work is on track, he Can do better than others.


    He notified the staff of the personnel department to remove the assistant coach¡¯s recruitment information, and then personally called Klinsmann, the other party was on vacation in the United States. It was not unexpected to receive a call from Aldridge. With his player qualifications, he It was normal to think that the application of Millwall was successful, and Aldridge said on the phone that he looked forward to the future cooperation between the two.


    Klinsmann started packing luggage to London, Aldridge put down the phone and changed to sportswear, and then went to the training ground to prepare to urge the players to perform restorative training.


    Yesterday beat Manchester United, the players were very excited, today''s training is full of enthusiasm, the training after the game day is mainly restored, the training content is simple and easy, but it is not a mess.


    Aldrich saw a player on the sidelines, so he whistle, and hooked his finger at Schneider, who was thinking about something.


    Schneider secretly groaned in his heart, trotting to Aldridge.


    "Any troubles?"


    In more than four years of getting along, Aldridge can guess one or two from the player''s expression.


    Schneider nodded after a moment of hesitation: "It''s true."


    "Look at your expression and know that it must be, can I help? If not, you need to find someone who can solve your troubles, dragging is not a way, it will affect your life and work."


    Schneider looked back at the other teammates who were training, and then whispered to Aldridge: "Boss, let''s go farther and talk."


    Aldridge''s expression was stunned. It seems that the other party''s troubles, can he really help?


    He is not very happy to be a "sister-in-law" role. If the other party treats himself as an audience, Aldridge will be very disgusted.


    Solve the problem if there is a problem, just use your mouth to say that it is useless.


    However, he still took Schneider to the sidelines, at least 30 meters away from other trained players.


    Schneider scratched his head, it seemed difficult to speak.


    Aldridge was depressed, and said, "If I can help, you will say happily."


    The subtext is: If I can''t help you, you still don''t think of me as the object of confession. It has no practical significance.


    Schneider made up his mind and said: "That''s it, lord, I can earn millions of pounds a year now, but I don''t know what to do with the money."


    Aldridge''s mouth widened slightly, his expression froze, and he felt a little thunderous.


    Don¡¯t know what to do with money?


    After his expression returned to normal, he touched his nose and said lightly: "Bernd, this is easy to handle. We are going to sign a new contract now. Your weekly salary will be reduced from two thousand five hundred to two hundred and fifty, and you will not be troubled."


    Schneider also opened his mouth in surprise, then smiled bitterly: "Boss, I''m not kidding. I mean, my wife and I discussed it and there was no result. Part of my income entrusted Mr. Andrew to help me with financial management Management, he did very well there, and the annual rate of return is very high, so we want to give the remaining money to Mr. Andrew, let him continue to use it for financial investment, but Mr. Andrew refused, he said no insurance , And finally, he asked me to ask for your suggestions."


    Aldrich, holding his arms, roughly understood the other''s worries.


    Most of Schneider''s income depends on the salary and bonuses of playing football, and a part of it is income from advertising endorsements and business activities.


    Andrew, as his agent, is obliged to help him manage his finances, but it is impossible for Schneider to hand over all his belongings to Andrew. Andrew does not dare to ask because he is also afraid that he helps his players manage their finances. Barnett¡¯s investment company now looks at a high annual rate of return, but no one can guarantee that there will be no overnight poverty after the financial crisis...


    Schneider''s troubles originated from the consciousness of worries about peace of mind.


    Playing football is a youth meal, don''t look at how much he earns now, but how long can it last?


    Even if he retires at the age of 40, he still has about 15 years to run on the green field, but what about after 40?


    Ordinary people often say that there are 5 million, and 10 million is enough for a lifetime.


    But life is actually not like this.


    When you live a life of 5 million, you will yearn for a life of 10 million and then a life of 15 million.


    In particular, once the standard of living begins to decrease due to the depletion of property, this is a phenomenon that is difficult to accept.


    Therefore, the basic requirement for investment to maintain and appreciate property value is not to depreciate.


    Aldrich touched his head, it was hard to say that Schneider''s idea was wrong.


    Or use the reason "you have enough money to spend" to convince the other party.


    At his age, he has both family responsibilities and longer-term and more mature ideas and plans. Even if he spends enough, he has to make better preparations for the next generation.


    In a sense, his worries are very mature and rare. Compared with too many players who are drunk and who are drunk today and are sleeping on the street tomorrow, Schneider wants to increase his property and plan for the future. It is the way of life wise.


    Aldridge is thankful that the opponent is really a good player.


    Want to make more money, but no signs of asking for the club.


    This is much more valuable than the players who want to make more money and ask the club for a big contract.


    In this way, Aldridge looked at Schneider again, as if the other party''s body was gleaming with gold, and had a halo of noble quality.


    "Give me two minutes to think about it."


    After Aldridge finished speaking, Schneider stared at him curiously.


    Ordinary players have no financial skills, like the stock genius Hernes, after being scammed to save their savings, they can start a rich Bailey from the top, and take off the jersey to be a successful investor Robbie Fowler... these are football Alternative, does not represent the public, most of the financial management of players are entrusted agents.


    Aldrich intends to help a group of Schneider, even if the other party retired one day, wealth protection is no problem.


    After thinking, he asked, "Bernd, do you like red wine?"


    Schneider''s eyes flickered and nodded.


    "Then invest in a red bar, buy some good wine storage in the vintage, and when you retire, if you are short of money, take out some and sell it. The value added should be at least five times higher."


    Aldridge said lightly.


    Schneider''s eyes widened unbelievably: "Five times? 5000% return?"


    Aldrich said: "Some red wines with a high rate of return may increase their value tenfold and twentyfold."


    Schneider scratched his head and asked, "Why?"


    "Because the output of good wine is limited, maybe the wine made this year is good. Next year, because of the material problem, the wine made is not good. As time goes by, the good wine was consumed ten years ago and twenty years ago. More and more, then the rest is less and less, and the price will naturally rise."


    Aldrich said it right.


    Although he is not good at red wine, but since sitting with Ferguson to drink red wine, in order not to lose face, he has done a minimum of theoretical knowledge.


    In addition to the news that high-priced red wine will appear from time to time in the future, he thought of it, and once combined, he gave Schneider such an idea.


    Perhaps the rate of return on buying stocks is higher, but my heart is not at ease.


    Aldrich can allow Schneider to invest all his wealth in the stocks of Wal-Mart, Time Warner, etc., which will definitely make him a billionaire twenty years later.


    But in these two decades, he may not have a good day''s sleep.


    Who can guarantee that there will be no stock market crash tomorrow?


    Especially for ordinary people who know nothing about financial markets, the larger the investment, the more worry.


    Don¡¯t turn things upside down. Investing is to get a good night¡¯s sleep, not to worry about tomorrow, not tomorrow, but today I¡¯m scared that I can¡¯t sleep...


    Schneider asked after a moment of contemplation: "If the return is so high, then not many people will do so?"


    Aldrich shook his head and said, "Ordinary people don''t have the patience and financial resources. Buying a bottle of wine requires at least 5 years of storage to have a visible return. Buy one box of two boxes, ten boxes of twenty boxes, and put it for five years? Who would do this? Moreover, there is no condition to store it when you buy it. The storage requirements for top wine are very high. The constant temperature and humidity environment is one of them. This requires someone to take care of it. You don¡¯t invest hundreds of thousands at once. With millions of dollars, storage costs are high."


    Schneider understood that he planned to go home and discuss with his wife. He suddenly stared at Aldridge again.


    "Why? Any troubles?"


    "Uh, boss, you think of a way to get rich in two minutes. Are you a human?"


    Aldridge kicked him, Schneider did not dodge in time, and then quickly ran back to train with his teammates.

 Chapter 345： Depressed neighbor

    On the weekend, Millwall was going to Monaco to participate in the European Super Cup. This season began the European Super Cup restructuring, which became a single game win, and was carried out before the start of the new season of the European War. The European Super Cup returned as a continuation of the European War last season. The traditional game time with the end.


    Therefore, in the third round of the weekend league, Millwall chose to play in the middle of the week. Unlike their European Super Cup opponent Chelsea, the game time was adjusted to the December supplement. After all, their opponent is Manchester United. , And play Millwall again this weekend, that''s the Devil schedule.


    But Millwall can''t adjust the schedule in this way. They have to go to the Toyota Cup in the winter, and they can''t compress the game in the time when the Premier League drives fast.


    Before visiting Coventry, Aldridge got feedback from Barnett.


    Cameron found it, and the intervention time was very good, because the other side lost consecutively in the past two years of elections, not to mention the career trough, but it has not yet reached the stage of flying, and it is definitely the best time to take a relationship.


    Merkel in Germany has also found it, because the other party is a female politician who is more conspicuous, and the party to which she belongs has just lost the election. It is also a good opportunity.


    As for Obama, he is already the governor in the United States. Barnett asked his partners to focus on funding Obama¡¯s cause, but everyone has doubts because Obama is a black man. In this year, women¡¯s participation in politics and black participation in politics are not new. However, to reach the position of supreme leader, not many people can believe it.


    Aldrich didn''t express any opinion on this, and it''s a matter of conspiracy, and he didn''t want to participate in such things too much, which would make him tired.


    Schneider wanted to invest in red wine, and it happened that Larson and Nedved also had a hobby of collecting red wine. The players co-funded privately and entrusted Andrew to buy a small winery in Bordeaux. Collecting and storing top wines with investment value, in addition to these three people, Schneider also brought in compatriots Bout and Klose, plus Southgate and Makelele, seven of them heard that they had invested almost two million pounds Klose didn''t have that much money. Schneider lent him generously. Schneider was confident in Klose that he would have no problem earning millions of pounds in the next year.


    Schneider originally asked Aldridge to also participate in the shares, but Aldridge politely refused. He did not want to have a relationship with players other than football. In addition, his account left three million pounds as expenses and emergency. For the purpose, others are used to make investment portfolios in the financial market, and they are also entrusted to manage by Barnett''s company.


    Boas came to the club to report on this day, Millwall was preparing to travel to play an away game, Aldridge just attended the pre-match press conference, and then at the office door opened to the suit and leather-faced Boas.


    "Hello there."


    Aldrich formally shook hands with each other, Boas was only one year younger than him, but Boas clearly showed respect to Aldridge, he became nervous after holding Aldridge¡¯s hand, even for a while Neither did Aldrich let go.


    When Aldridge smiled and glanced at the hand he was holding, Boas hurried away awkwardly.


    Opening the door of the office, Aldridge reached out and said, "Come in and sit down and talk. Although you are recommended by Bobby, I don''t mean to hire you on his face. I hope you can show it. Your ability allows me to trust you."


    Boas followed Aldridge into the office. He looked at the layout of the office. When he saw a row of five Millwall family portraits on the wall and a row of photos in a new photo frame below, his eyes became Can''t erase it.


    In the new season, Aldridge''s office has two more photo frames, one is the family photo of the new season, and the other is a photo before the match of the Millwall team in the Champions League final last season.


    These simply symbolize the history of Millwall in the Audridge era. When seeing these photos, it naturally comes to mind the honor this team has won.


    Aldridge poured a glass of water on the coffee table for the guests, Boas was sitting on the single sofa, Aldridge was sitting on the couch, he opened the door and asked: "Before you were by Bobby What kind of work do you do?"


    Boas just picked up the glass and immediately put it down again. He quickly said: "I am responsible for collecting intelligence, observing opponent players, analyzing their personal characteristics, team technical and tactical styles, strengths, weaknesses, and then sorting this information and handing it over to Coaching team."


    Aldridge nodded unexpectedly. This is Boaz''s best job.


    When Mourinho''s success in Chelsea''s success, the outside world deeply explored the reasons for his success, one of which caused a sensation when it was later disclosed, that is an intelligence report by Boas, which was as long as twenty On the left and right of the page, the opponent is analyzed in a comprehensive manner, and the opponent is only a team in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League. It can be seen how serious their work attitude is. Having such a person working for the team is a guarantee for the success of a team, although The outside world usually does not pay attention to such people.


    Although he admired Boaz''s work attitude and ability, Aldridge said: "But for intelligence gathering, Millwall has five such intelligence officers."


    He gestured to the opponent with a slap. When he first took the team, there were only three intelligence workers. From the collection to analysis, the whole process of submitting the first team tactical meeting room was completed by these three people. Later, the team played There are many more such workers, and now there are five people who just collect intelligence. Two of them are responsible for foreign intelligence. For example, Millwall played the Champions League last season. One month before the game, such intelligence officers appeared continuously. In the stands of the opponent''s team, observe the opponent''s status, style, technical and tactical characteristics and so on.


    Boas immediately said anxiously: "I can also establish a team player database for the team, which is also what I am good at, so that in the game, if the opponent activates unfamiliar players, my intelligence can be used for the ball The team provides the most direct assistance on the spot."


    Aldrich spread his hands and said: "But we also have such a database."


    Boaston''s expression was stunned. It seemed that his advantages were not special here in Millwall.


    Player database, many clubs and private coaches have.


    Boas¡¯ player database information is later described as more detailed than any database of professional football organizations in the world. If he is not a coach, he can go to a professional football organization or compile data for a football game company.


    Aldridge didn¡¯t want to attack each other. He looked at Boas, who had nothing to say, and asked with a smile: "Do you only want to be an intelligence officer when you come to Millwall?"


    Boaz said after a moment of silence: "No, I want to learn to be a coach, but I always have to make a contribution before I can learn here."


    Aldrich said: "Well, you join the club, you don''t need to collect intelligence, but after the club''s intelligence information is organized and submitted to the first team, you first look at it. If you think there are deficiencies, or areas that can be improved, Then you can propose it to help the club¡¯s intelligence collection work more complete. In addition, after you are familiar with this, you will also be responsible for updating the player database. Finally, for the first-team training, you can be responsible for individual training sessions."


    Boas didn''t respond in three seconds, then asked: "You, you hired me?"


    Aldridge nodded with a smile and said frankly: "If you want to be a coach, then of course you have to start with the simplest coaching job. If I let you do what you were good at before, when will you realize your ideal? "


    Boas was very moved, and he made repeated guarantees that he would do all the work well. Audric stood up and shook hands with each other again, a little to encourage him.


    After Boaz completed the entry procedures, he wanted to follow the team to watch the team''s game away. Aldrich readily agreed that the other party''s work enthusiasm is high, which is a positive element.


    Being young is never a problem for Millwall.


    In the game of Coventry, Millwall played a new formation, 442, or 4411.


    Aldridge had to change the team''s formation, because the medical department gave him a bad message.


    Pirlo was truce for three months due to injury, and Larson was longer, four months.


    Announced that the two main forces said goodbye to 1998...


    In the away game, Coventry''s tactics were very simple, that is, to play a defensive counterattack. In the opening game, they cut down the strong Chelsea, and in the second round, they played Nottingham Forest. For Millwall, who had just beaten Manchester United, Coventry shrank again and ran away in a draw.


    Their conservative timing was very appropriate. It happened that Millwall¡¯s two main truces were injured due to injuries, and their offensive power was reduced sharply. In addition to Audridge¡¯s change in formation, this game enabled Lampard and Makelele double midfielders. A midfielder with two midfielders, Ronaldinho and Grenchar, offensively. Fannie and Nedved are on the line. Nedved is more like a shadow forward.


    The team''s defense is okay, but the offense has been unsatisfactory, especially in the tough game. The efficiency of the last part of the offense is low. Millwall and Coventry were flat in 90 minutes and each scored a point.


    The practice of new formations and tactics always comes at the cost of the game. If you don¡¯t practice, you can¡¯t play the weak team. You can¡¯t see the problem. If you play the strong team, Millwall¡¯s summer change and the main injury stop, then use the unrestrained 433, sure Can not play the previous effect.


    After finishing the third round of the league ahead of schedule, Millwall went to Monaco, and Aldridge first went to Switzerland to participate in the UEFA Champions League group draw.


    At the same time, Millwall submitted an application to the FA and hired Klinsmann as an assistant coach of the team. However, Klinsmann did not have a coach qualification certificate and hoped that the FA would be able to be accommodating.


    Klinsmann is an old acquaintance of the Premier League. The Football Association also needs more internationally renowned football figures to come to England. At this point, Millwall is not embarrassed. Klinsmann works while studying, etc. It¡¯s time to take the assessment.


    Before the UEFA Champions League group draw, the FA Football Club specifically approved Millwall''s application.


    This incident made the other two clubs in London extremely depressed.


    Tottenham was one of them. Klinsmann had just left White Hart Lane, but after retiring, he moved to Millwall.


    Arsenal is the second. Dane hopes that Arsenal will also rent Wembley in the Champions League. Highbury only has a capacity of 30,000. The specifications are enough for the Champions League level, but the money is not enough to go to Wembley. If the ticket income is at least doubled, and it attracts attention in the Wembley game, it can also play a big role in the promotion of the club. Millwall¡¯s influence has rapidly increased, and it is a good game to play in the European war in Wembley. The obvious factor.


    However, the FA rejected Arsenal''s application.


    Wembley has lent to Millwall, and the partnership between the two parties is also good. The FA made money, Millwall also made money, and also contributed to the promotion of English football in Europe. The Champions League will be next season. To expand the army, it is obvious that Millwall won the Premier League undefeated last season and earned points.


    If you lend them to Arsenal again, the FA will terminate the loan agreement with Millwall. Otherwise, will the FA still run to discuss with UEFA to prevent them from scheduling Arsenal¡¯s schedule and Millwall¡¯s schedule? on the same day? Or stray away from home and away?


    Originally safe and sound, the FA rejected Arsenal just because they wanted nothing to do.

 Chapter 346： Conspiracy!

    At the scene of the draw of the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 98-99 season, Aldridge obviously felt very different from last year''s treatment.


    Last year, he was just a fledgling rookie on the occasion where the handsome men gathered. Since they didn''t know him, they didn''t bother to take care of him.


    But this year is different. Many people who don''t know come to greet Aldridge and talk a few words cordially. Most of them are formal greetings and have no meaning.


    Aldridge sat down and waited for the lottery to begin. After a while, there were more people around him. He turned his head and looked at him with a smile.


    "Oh, your deputy chairman recently denounced Millwall, saying that the FA has given Millwall special care. It¡¯s weird. I really want the FA to take care of us and take all our future Champions League matches. Arranged into the home game, but in the next three months, after six Champions League game days, we actually have to play 5 away, but Arsenal only have two away, I really don¡¯t know who the FA favors."


    Aldridge said playfully.


    Wenger smiled bitterly, saying: "Actually I don''t agree with Dane''s proposal. Arsenal suddenly went to Wembley to play the Champions League home game, which will greatly reduce our home advantage. For Arsenal who will return to the Champions League after many years. , It would be unwise to lower the home advantage."


    Aldridge spread his hands and said: "But my team played the Champions League for the first time last year."


    "But your team was familiar with Wembley through the European Cup Winners'' Cup exercise last season. Although the home advantage is still weakened, at least there is a process of adaptation."


    Aldridge does not make any rebuttals. The fact is that, as Wenger said, renting Wembley in the previous season is to prepare for the Champions League.


    "How? Is there any ambition for the new season?"


    Wenger stared at Aldridge with a smile and whispered: "Did you say that? Arsenal is not enough to fight in two lines, the league is not your competitor, the Champions League, who would think Arsenal is popular?"


    After returning to the Champions League for many years, Arsenal estimated that even the top ten rankings won the championship.


    Aldridge shrugged: "Can''t look at it that way, Millwall was not popular last year."


    While he was talking, Aldridge seated two people on the other side of the seat. He turned his head and looked at it with pleasure.


    One is Inter Milan coach, Hodgson, and the other is Manchester United coach, Ferguson.


    Hodgson, the England coach, is able to take charge of a giant like Inter Milan in Italy, and his ability and fame are not bad.


    As soon as Hodgson sat down, he talked warmly with Aldridge. The two shook hands and then Hodgson began to suffer.


    The Millwall Summer Players Supermarket opens, and the six players left by the first team are all quoted by Inter Milan. The quotation is basically the same as the value of these players to leave. Moratti blew out Aldridge¡¯s calls. However, in the end, Aldridge did not sell to Inter Milan alone.


    He and Hodgson are both English people, and they don''t slap their eyes when they communicate.


    "Inter Milan still buy people? Also buy? You have more than 30 first-teams. Are you going to run a team or form an army to conquer the universe? It''s not that I don''t sell people. I know Morati almost. For three years, I have agreed to his offer, but the players themselves do not want to go to Inter Milan, the players directly refused Inter Milan, so there is no negotiation, it really has nothing to do with me."


    Aldrich explained innocently, like Elgra, Capdevila, people want to go back to Spain, Shevchenko to Milan, Trezeguet to Juventus, which are not less attractive than Inter. Good Johnson wanted to play the main role, going to Inter is definitely a substitute, Barack hesitated, but glanced at Inter Milan''s first team lineup, he was terrified and directly rejected the opponent.


    The transfer window will be closed in two days, the signings of the major teams are basically over, Hodgson packed his mood and began to compliment Aldridge.


    Aldridge even said that he did not dare to act.


    The two people''s intimate conversations made Ferguson and Wenger feel tired and crooked. At the moment, the two people had the same idea at the moment: Hodgson, Aldridge, can you not be such a disgusting person?


    He had no business communication with Hodgson at all, basically sing and slap each other...


    When the **** made me feel stinky, Aldridge smiled and looked at Huo Taigong, asking: "Inter Milan''s lineup is so luxurious, Ronaldo, Djokov, Baggio, Simone... uh, last season you Having won the UEFA Cup, unfortunately, Serie A is under Juventus. Should there be a greater pursuit in the new season? The outside world is very much looking forward to the performance of the Inter Milan Champions League."


    Huo Taigong nodded. His coaching career has so far been high. Although he re-acquired Inter Milan in the summer is a second move into the palace and has a little relationship with Odri, he is guaranteed. Now is the stage to climb proudly in life, and occasionally wear cool black sunglasses fashionablely.


    "As long as they are not in the dead group, Inter Milan has the strength to enter the knockout, and then look at the luck of the draw."


    As soon as Huo Taigong''s words came out, in addition to Aldridge keeping a smile and nodding, both Ferguson and Wenger scoffed at the bottom of their hearts: Luck? In the knockout, who will be the soft persimmon in the quarterfinals?


    "What about Millwall? Have confidence in defending this year?"


    Hodgson reciprocated, and also asked Audridge.


    Aldridge said low-key: "It''s too difficult to defend. Millwall will try to qualify for the group first. My team hasn''t been a synthetic player yet."


    He said so, Ferguson snorted.


    grass!


    Just defeated Manchester United a week ago, but now it is said that the team has not yet become a synthetic!


    Aldridge noticed Ferguson¡¯s reaction, hey laughed twice, and did not continue to speak.


    Before the lottery ceremony began, Johansson still talked about European football¡¯s achievements in the past year. Millwall won the team of the year. After all, they still took the Champions League as a dark horse in the eyes of the outside world. This is a myth. Coupled with the dedication of many exciting games, the final against Real Madrid is a classic battle, Millwall won this award, there is not much controversy.


    Critics will accuse Millwall of winning only the second season in the Premier League, but Millwall is tied evenly with the runner-up and third with only one point away from champion Arsenal, plus they also won the League Cup Millwall performed a lateral comparison among the strong teams in the roads, and had enough confidence to be elected the best.


    Millwall won the championship with two consecutive years of European wars, and is an undefeated record for two consecutive years, was listed as the seed team.


    In the group draw, Millwall was directly drawn out of the first gear, waiting for other opponents to join the same group.


    When the second-tier team was drawn, Aldridge''s face was green.


    When the second team in his group appeared, many people on the scene turned their attention to Aldridge, not only to see him, but also to see Huo Taigong!


    Inter Milan!


    Hodgson''s face was expressionless, more like stunned.


    Aldridge was embarrassed...


    Malle Gobi, the two just talked like old friends, complimenting each other and wishing each other a good result in the Champions League.


    Isn''t this nonsense?


    6 groups, 8 qualifying places, this is the rhythm of death!


    Ferguson and Wenger held back for a long time, neither of them held back, twisting their faces to one side, and the corners of their mouths raised slightly.


    After accepting this reality, Hodgson smiled dryly: "Oh, the second group can also qualify."


    "Oh, yeah, yeah."


    Aldrich echoed two sentences.


    No further calls.


    Yes, the second group can also qualify, but six groups are second and only two can qualify.


    Two of us, who is willing to be the second in the group and give the destiny to luck?


    The two who had previously happily talked fell into silence, quietly watching the lottery ceremony proceeding, and even their faces did not twist to the other side.


    UEFA of grass mud horses!


    This is a conspiracy!


    Aldrich secretly slandered in his heart. If he wants to say how strong Inter Milan is, he doesn''t think it is just an embarrassing scene at this moment, and he is in a depressed mood.


    After the other two opponents in the same group came out, Aldridge couldn''t hold back and bowed his head and scolded the sentence.


    Hodgson saw Aldrich¡¯s reaction, looked up at the big screen, rubbed his eyes, convinced that he was right, and turned to ask Ferguson: ¡°Inter Milan is with Millwall, and Graz in Austria, and Moscow in Russia. Are the scores in the same group?"


    Ferguson looked up and nodded: "Yes, congratulations, the group situation is good, as long as you don''t lose to Millwall, there is a high possibility of promotion to the first name."


    Hodgson nodded slightly, Aldridge was next to him, and he couldn''t make any more brazen words.


    strange!


    Graz, Spartan Moscow, this is definitely the fish belly in the impression!


    Of course, they are the big guys in their national league, but in the Champions League, the impression is that the meat is slaughtered.


    Why did Aldrich react so much?


    Wenger also expressed surprise. He whispered and asked: "Are you mistaken?"


    Aldridge looked up suddenly and said in disappointment: "Yes, I read it right."


    "you are not happy?"


    "Not happy."


    "why?"


    "Because the team is going to Moscow to play, grass! With this grouping, you can''t divide Millwall in the circles of Central and Western Europe!"


    Wenger immediately understood it when he heard it.


    Britain and Russia are almost the westernmost and the easternmost in the European territory.


    Although Millwall only needs to play one away game and expedite to Moscow, the fatigue of the round trip and the fatigue of the game will directly affect the upcoming league after the match day.


    A league sounds irrelevant, but considering Millwall¡¯s defeat of defending last season, the only difference is a ball! What''s worse is that turning a loss into a draw or turning a draw into a victory, then they can defend their title successfully.


    Why the league''s performance in the first half of last season was worse than in the second half of the season, the expedition to Kiev is a factor, it seems small, but it cannot be ignored.


    The draw ceremony was over, and Aldridge soon left behind the depression.


    He stood up and shook hands with Wenger, congratulations.


    Wenger smiled bitterly and said: "I''m not easy in this group, congratulations on me? I''m going to lead the team to Ukraine to challenge Dynamo Kiev. I have to face Ligue 1 champion Lance last season. Greek giant Panathinaikos."


    "In short, congratulations."


    Aldridge turned around again and hurriedly shook hands with Mrs. Huo. The two of them had nothing to congratulate or bless each other. Anyway, it wouldn''t take long for them to meet again. At that time, it was the day when the swordsmen met.


    Finally, Aldridge shook hands with Ferguson again and congratulated each other.


    Ferguson looked ugly and said, "Are you deliberate?"


    Aldrich turned his head to look at the big screen at this moment, and asked uninterestingly: "Well, when I didn''t say."


    Manchester United fell blood mold, and the other three opponents in the same group were Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Bloomberg.


    In addition to the Danish champion may be a child of points, the other three giants fight each other, this group is the death group, the worst thing is that the internal friction between the three giants may lead to the group''s low second score and can not qualify...

 Chapter 347： No one is handsome

    After the draw of the UEFA Champions League group stage in the new season, Aldridge went to Monaco to meet the team.


    In this European Super Cup this season, there are not many people concerned, because it is the English Civil War, and it is still the same city derby, more profound than the same city derby: this is a contest between two feudal clubs.


    But fans of other leagues, fans who are not interested in English football, naturally have little interest in such games.


    At the press conference before the game, the reporters did not care much about the game itself.


    Since Aldridge was in charge of Millwall, the results of the Civil War in London have been outrageous. In the face of Chelsea, they have maintained an absolutely overwhelming record advantage.


    Only Fleet Street reporters asked with great interest Aldridge what he thought of Chelsea''s lineup for the new season.


    Aldridge didn''t really want to talk about Chelsea. Every year, some people advocated Chelsea''s strength in front of him. How much did Chelsea put in, who did it buy, and which former world-class player was added to the lineup.


    The purpose is actually very simple, that is, to fan the flames and make the war between dead enemies more intense.


    "Chelsea is improving every year. This is a fact. However, I think there is still a considerable gap between Chelsea and Millwall. A team with super combat effectiveness does not rely on the superposition of stars. The key is the team''s chemical reaction. , Can it play a role of 1+1 greater than 2. Yes, Chelsea has added a lot of European names that are familiar this year, World Cup champions Deseli, Frere, Lauderup Jr., Kasiraki... but then again What about? Football games are not one-on-one players in each position. Chelsea''s people come and go every year. Where is the team''s style? Where is the team''s technical and tactical tradition? Where is the team''s temperament? They are too far from Millwall."


    The reporters at the scene were very happy.


    Think about it too, Aldrich is already worth the Champions League, what about contempt for Chelsea? Chelsea had nothing to show off in front of Millwall.


    "Mr. Hall, but Millwall also ushered in a large area of ??blood exchange this summer."


    "That''s different, absolutely different, Millwall has traditions, Fanny, Ronaldinho, Materazzi, etc. These players have been in Millwall for a long time, they are familiar with the team, they receive Under the main position, there is no problem of integration into the team. Chelsea needs to explore and need to shape a new lineup, and Millwall only needs a short run-in period, and then our combat effectiveness will quickly increase, even if tomorrow¡¯s game, I I don''t think Chelsea will cause any trouble for Millwall."


    Aldrich''s words excited the reporters.


    This is different after taking the Champions League!


    Crazy!


    But no one at the scene disputed Audric''s remarks.


    People are the best, and the youngest and most handsome young coaches in European football today look down on Chelsea. What''s wrong?


    Aldridge''s posture is a bit unpretentious, and he doesn''t take Chelsea in his eyes at all.


    The press conference gradually ran out of questions. The reporters did not care about the next game. Millwall''s previous record advantage was too overwhelming. Although Chelsea has become stronger every year, the suspense seems to be not much.


    Everyone began to care about the grouping situation in the Champions League.


    Speaking of the draws drawn by Millwall, Aldridge calmed down a bit and sighed: "After the draw results, I only heard outsiders talking about Millwall and Inter Milan. Indeed, we are two spending lines The popular team, Inter Milan stars are gathered, Millwall is the defending champion, it seems that even my players think so, as long as they beat Inter Milan, it will make sense to qualify, I think this is very wrong. We There are six group matches to play, only two matches against Inter Milan, and a total win of 6 points, but if we lose in the other four games or tie two, we will lose 4 points or more , I¡¯m not emphasizing that Graz or Moscow Sparta are very strong, so the outside world will think that I am hypocritical, I think the key to qualifying is how Millwall players treat each opponent, such as if they despise Graz and Moscow Sparta , Maybe even if we beat Inter Milan, they will be eliminated."


    Aldridge did find signs of underestimating the team. When the team ate breakfast in the hotel today, everyone at the table was talking about Inter Milan, especially Ronaldo. The old players who had played with him before were young players. Talk about how difficult Ronaldo is to mark in the game.


    This is not a good sign.


    In fact, Millwall wants to qualify. As long as he won all four games without losing to Inter Milan, the points he holds will ensure his qualifying. Even if it is not the first in the group, the second in the group will also be stable. This is similar to Tian Ji Horse racing strategy, but Aldrich can¡¯t tell them in front of the players: Hey, we don¡¯t care about Inter Milan, we can get 12 points with all our efforts.


    This is the case, but telling the players this way is tantamount to admonishing yourself!


    The next day, the European Super Cup is about to start, the stadium of Louis II is full, and the VIPs of the UEFA and Monaco royals are waiting in the box to appreciate the wonderful battle.


    Aldrich appeared early on the sidelines and sat directly on the coach''s bench. The reporters around him immediately took pictures of him.


    Millwall is still playing as the defending champion today.


    The European Super Cup last season was half a year ago, and they defeated Dortmund to crown the championship two rounds.


    Chelsea coach Viali is now officially transferred to coach, no longer need to take off his suit and run to play football game, he took the initiative to shake hands with Aldridge after coming out, the two just patted each other''s arms and separated, no extra words exchange , Not even greetings.


    Aldridge''s remarks made headlines in major media yesterday. Those who focused on the European Super Cup know that Chelsea is worthless in Aldrich''s eyes.


    Even if Chelsea''s lineup is already luxurious, but compared to Millwall, who was a big change in the summer, Aldridge still dismissed Chelsea.


    "This year¡¯s European Super Cup is about to take place at the Stadium of Louis II. Last season¡¯s Champions League champion Millwall played against last season¡¯s European Cup Winners Cup Chelsea. Both teams are from England and London. In terms of club relations, the two teams are even more The endless enemy, the London Derby staged in the European Super Cup, which is also a rare sight in European football."


    When Millwall and Chelsea players walked out of the player channel, the commentator introduced the two teams'' starting lineups today.


    Millwall 4411.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.


    Midfielders: Glenn Charles, Lampard, Makelele, Ronaldinho.


    Forwards: Van Nistelrooy, Nedved.


    Chelsea 442.


    Goalkeeper: De Huye


    Defenders: Freire, Deseli, Le Bove, Le Saux.


    Midfielders: Petrescu, Di Matteo, Boyette, Wise.


    Forwards: Zola, Flo.


    Millwall played the tactics they played after the team lost the two main forces, but they were in the era of the League One.


    Its tactical characteristics are very similar to the current Arsenal.


    Arsenal defended and counterattacked 442 based on defense. The offense was based on two wing Pires and Ovimas. When defending, Petit and Vieira doubled their backs. When attacking, they took turns and forward. Bergkamp could pass Can shoot, last season''s partner is Wright, this season will be Anelka provoked the beam.


    Millwall defended with a double midfielder, Lampard and Makelele, Ronaldinho Ronaldo and Glenchard on offense, Nedved played a free man in the frontcourt, it was passed to shoot his current Experience and game reading ability, without the need for Audric targeted arrangement, he is fully capable of the role of shadow striker, more intuitively threatening the opponent''s door.


    Chelsea''s playing style is more inclined to the traditional 442. The front line is a combination of high and fast Floga Zola. If they want to say what they have improved, it is naturally a defense. The French combination of Le Bove Gadselli makes the back line stronger. .


    In the enthusiastic cheering of fans on the spot, the referee whistled and the game began.


    Aldridge sat from start to finish, his face unsettled.


    At the beginning of the game, Chelsea took control of the midfield. The combination of Di Matt Ogaboyet is more powerful than Makelele Garampard in terms of experience and ability. This refers to the control of the ball. ability.


    Millwall contracted back to defend. Chelsea did not force the middle but attacked on two sides.


    Today Boas sat behind Aldridge. He leaned out of his head and asked Aldridge: "Do you still think Chelsea is not strong enough to challenge Millwall?"


    Ten minutes before the game, Boas looked shocked, Chelsea''s offensive was fierce, and the Millwall defense was screaming.


    Aldridge smiled and said nothing, and Jenson, who was sitting next to him, turned back and smiled at Boas: "Do you believe what he said to the reporter? Hehe, that''s for Chelsea."


    Boas frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"


    Jenson pointed to the court and replied: "Don''t look at Chelsea''s offensive now. Millwall now needs this attack to attack this set of tactics."


    Aldrich turned his head and smiled at Jenson: "It''s a trial and error.


    Chelsea''s big players grab a lot of hands, not to mention that Audridge won the Champions League at a young age. This is very attractive in itself. In addition, Audridge provokes the opponent to anger the opponent. Can Chelsea serve?


    Their average age is about 5 years higher than the average age of Millwall''s current lineup.


    Of course, it took a breath to beat Millwall to find his teeth to relieve his hatred.


    Boas still asked puzzled: "But the same lineup and tactics, we did not even win Coventry on the road."


    Aldridge leaned back slightly and wrote lightly: "The attacking ability of this set of tactics itself is slightly inferior. Its greatest power is in counterattacks, and it needs counterattack space. When playing Coventry, the opponent''s defense tends to be statically compressed. Players can''t play and need to hone, but today you can play Chelsea, you can take a closer look, we will have more opportunities than playing Coventry, as long as If we can do a good shot from the defense to the offense, Chelsea cannot intercept successfully the first time, then our counterattack will destroy the opponent''s defense line when we advance quickly."


    Boas listened carefully and nodded and watched the game intently.


    Millwall''s back line did not lose the ball after accepting the opponent''s 20-minute oppressive attack, which allowed the players'' mentality to be completely stabilized, the defense was more calm, the organization of counterattacks became clear, and the ball Clearly, gradually, Millwall found a sense of counterattack.

 Chapter 348： Persistent belief

    "Chelsea''s offensive routine is clear at a glance, the wing can suddenly burst, and if it can''t, he can find the top guy Flo, once Flo can control the ball, he will cover Zola. In a narrow range, Zo La definitely has the ability to change the game, but Millwall¡¯s defense is also very targeted today. If Materazzi counters Flo and fights for the high-altitude ball, because Materazzi is a frontal defense, the success rate is more High, but if Flo is retreating to receive the ball, Chelsea¡¯s offensive fulcrum will play a role. Makelele draws back to mark Zola personally, while distractingly blocks the opponent''s midfielder to give the forward a straight ball, Lampard and return. Withdrawing Nedved against Di Matteo and Poyet, Millwall played for 25 minutes after the game, the defense created a strong fortress level, even if the middle defense appeared one-on-one In the situation, Southgate also escorted the goal on the last line of defense in front of the goal. In addition, Bout''s defensive area is already large. Although Chelsea has the advantage on the court, it has not been able to turn the advantage into a victory."


    Chelsea try their best to keep the ball and try not to lose the ball as much as possible, so they seem to have the advantage, especially in the offense, they dare not invest too much force, fearing that after being counterattacked, most players of the other party will insert the next wave of belts go.


    However, if you play less and attack more, you need to play a super strong personal ability, but Millwall''s personal defensive ability is not inferior. In this way, in the last link, Chelsea failed to create much threat.


    When Millwall stabilized his defense, the frontcourt players contracted deeper, increased their scrambling efforts, and suddenly launched their forces in the 30th minute of the game. This was a period that Aldridge requested during the pre-match deployment.


    In the process of building the second generation of mad lions, they cannot be allowed to enter a continuous high-paced game state at the beginning.


    Zambrotta withdrew from the penalty area to break the delicate straight from Di Matteo to Zola. After the goal was successful, he half-turned and went straight to the left.


    When Ronaldinho took the ball, the fans in the grand lion cheered suddenly.


    Now Ronaldinho is like Ronaldo at the time of his fame. Every time he takes the ball, he will be expected. The fans hope to enjoy his magical performance.


    Ronaldinho took the ball, turned and strode the ball forward.


    His eyes are very firm, and now he is very different from Ronaldinho in the original history. At the very least, his motivation and pursuit of playing football are more intense.


    He knew that on the sidelines, there was someone who stared at him without blinking his eyes, his mentor and friend: Aldridge.


    His relationship with Aldridge is the most wonderful in Millwall, and he is meticulous in training. Aldridge is like a devil coach in front of Ronaldinho. The requirements for him are as cruel as hell. If he is lazy in training, Aldrich Qi will talk to him immediately. If he commits another offence, Aldridge will punish him without hesitation, or even get furious.


    But in life, Ronaldinho can mess up Aldridge''s apartment, but Aldridge has never been angry.


    Outside of the training competition, Ronaldinho was bored. He asked Aldridge to go to the movies, to play video games, and so on. Aldridge never refused. There were often paparazzi and filming with them at the video game center. ¡­


    Ronaldinho knew from the bottom of his heart: He shouldn''t be just the expected next generation of mad lion king, he should do it! Must do it! He is about to become a new generation of lion king, show it to that person, show it to him! ! !


    Rodriguez, who drove the ball forward from the left side of the backcourt, had Petrescu ready to intercept him five meters before Ronaldinho turned to look at the middle.


    From the defense to the attack, Lampard plugged in for the first time, and consciously approached Ronaldinho''s side, becoming a fast-advancing receiving point.


    Ronaldinho always looked at Lampard during the two steps of the ball. Petrescu believed that when Ronaldinho''s rhythm stopped, the opponent would pass the ball to Lampard, so the center of gravity also tilted, and when his defensive movement changed After that, Ronaldinho suddenly accelerated to overtake from the outside after the rhythm stopped!


    Petrescu was furious and fooled!


    When Ronaldinho brushed over him, he chose to lay the shovel on the ground. Ronaldinho was faster. He was hooked. After three steps, he regained his balance. The referee hesitated for a moment and signaled the game to continue.


    Ronaldinho continued to take the ball forward. When facing Frere, he continued to turn his head and looked towards the middle. With the lessons of Petrescu''s deception, Freire lowered his center of gravity and did not give the other party any chance to deceive him to move.


    But this time, Ronaldinho passed the ball.


    And it''s a long pass!


    Grenchard''s hedging was originally intended to be inward, but Ronaldinho''s pass was a bit big, and he immediately received the ball under the hedging.


    After Ronaldinho passed the ball, he inserted a running position forward in the penalty area. Glenn Charles took the ball and crossed the ball. LeBov saw the ball line to break the ball, but Nedvide stepped in from the back to touch the ball and moved forward. The opponent''s entire defense line was broken during the impact, but the shooting angle in the penalty area was very small.


    Desaili personally stared at Van Nistelrooy. Vanni retreated back consciously to pull out the empty space for catching the shot. Desaili followed suit.


    Nedvide still passed the ball before Leboff stretched his feet to block it. The ball''s trajectory was still in front of Chelsea''s goal, close to the small penalty line. Originally Deseli was able to steal the ball, but he was caught by Fanny Attracting forward, the ball is out of reach.


    The ball rolled across the area directly in front of the center of the goal. The audience''s eyes shifted as the ball rolled. When they saw the situation at the back point, they all breathed out.


    Ronaldinho and Frere go hand-in-hand to catch up, but Ronaldinho is a strong inward player and takes the lead.


    After the ball rolled over, Friel slammed Ronaldinho with his body, and Ronaldinho fell to the ground and shoveled, almost hitting with the sole of the foot!


    It was too late when De Huye came over from the other side of the goal. Ronaldinho was hit by Ronaldinho!


    "Ronaldinho helped Millwall open the record! Chelsea couldn''t get a long shot, Millwall quickly counterattacked through the door. The attacker was Brazilian Ronaldinho, and he finally grabbed the left side of the small penalty area. The ball was shoveled into the net, and the assist was provided by the Czech Nedved. Millwall has had a strong power in the past two seasons when the striker''s golden trident or left the team or missed the line. Killer, Hall¡¯s contempt for Chelsea before the game does not seem to be blind arrogance!"


    Ronaldinho ran to the sidelines and jumped up to Samba after scoring a goal. Finally, his right hand gracefully swung from the bottom to the sky in front of him.


    Except for Chelsea fans, other audiences were cheering for his goal, and even the Monaco royal family members in the box were no exception.


    Ronaldinho''s personal technical characteristics are very pleasing to the eye. Just now he broke through Petrescu, the long pass found his teammates, and then broke the door in front of the door. This series of events that occurred in less than fifteen seconds, but reflected his The comprehensiveness of the offense, the individual play has a strong samba taste.


    Aldrich got up and applauded Ronaldinho''s goal on the sidelines, saw the other party''s iconic dance celebration, secretly said: let the world know your name!


    Beside him, the coaches and the bench players were jubilant, and Boas was stunned. After the celebration, he immediately asked Audridge: "Why did his last performance be so different from the current one?"


    Aldrich shook his head: "It''s not that he performed poorly, but the environment is different. Coventry compresses the backcourt, there is no room for him to break back and forth like this, the interaction between teammates is also very narrow, and there is no very high tacit understanding and pass. When the running position is the foundation, the team''s ability to make a fatal blow forward has not yet reached the point of qualitative change. You can refer to today''s Chelsea. If they encounter a team with a tactical play, you will think Their offensive threat is very big, Di Matteo organized, Poyet inserted the goal, Flo was the fulcrum on the front line, Zola''s individual ability was super strong, Chelsea could hit the ground and cut, and he could open the wings to Flo. There is a prerequisite for delivering artillery shells, that is, there is room for them to play."


    Boas was thoughtful, and indeed it was. Before today¡¯s game, he studied some videos of Chelsea¡¯s past games and believed that Chelsea¡¯s offense was very threatening, but today he counterattacked Millwall¡¯s defense and felt the opponent¡¯s There is a difference between the attack and the previous impression.


    In the past few seasons, Chelsea have repeatedly knocked down the giants and won the praise of the Giant Killer. This is related to the fact that the giants attacked them too much and attacked them.


    Viali stood on the sidelines and looked at nothing.


    Chelsea''s fighting spirit is very strong today. Before the game, Aldridge''s contempt angered them. There is no doubt that it is Aldridge''s psychological warfare, which is to let Chelsea''s brain heat up on the offensive.


    Viali also reminded players in the locker room not to be fooled.


    Chelsea can be regarded as an offensive and defensive balance today. The attacker didn¡¯t invest too much force in the offense, so the full-back didn¡¯t dare to plug in. Fearing that he would be exploded by the opponent¡¯s two speed-type forwards. A huge role, Ronaldinho and Glenshare on the premise of advancing space, Chelsea''s side defense is shaky, the side is unstable, the middle of the empty space is large, plus the opponent''s fast attack, the opponent''s hidden attack point is inserted In the new season, the Chelsea defense changed two people, Frere and Deseli, and player understanding is also a problem.


    Their league opener was defeated by Coventry 2-1, it has exposed defensive problems, but it takes time, not artificial adjustments to have an immediate effect.


    The biggest headache for Viali is that most of these players are famous. How can they be happy if you let them face up against Milwall, who is much younger, to shrink the defense and fight back?


    Millwall scored a goal and then played better.


    Aldridge waved to the backcourt on the sidelines, the players all understood what he meant, and continued to play, don''t get embarrassed.


    In today''s Super Cup, Chelsea''s opponents who have become combatants to hone the team, Aldridge is happy. Although this kind of defensive counterattack tactics in the league is difficult to break the intensive defense, he can consider more Is it to prepare for the European War? Unlike many opponents in the league who are satisfied with a draw and score one point in the Champions League, do their opponents simply give up the opportunity to qualify? Even a champion team such as the third-class league of Graz, it is impossible to stop at home for a draw at home.


    In the first half, Chelsea failed to equalize the score. In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought. Millwall played a defensive counterattack. When Ronaldinho was heavily marked on the left, Aldridge asked him to exchange with Glenshire. After changing the position, Chelsea strengthened the marking on the right, but Glencharr showed power on the left.


    Almost the same routine, Glencharr blasted Petrescu on the left, unlike Ronaldinho who passed the ball after facing Friel, Glencharr crossed the ball after the outside line, Fanny grabbed The attack was blocked by Dehouye at the previous point, but he did not hold the ball, and the blocked ball was shot into the net by Nedvide.


    Millwall defeated Chelsea at the 2-0 with a bloodless edge and successfully defended the European Super Cup!

 Chapter 349： Turning your face with the chairman of the FA

    "Milwall, after defeating Dortmund to win the European Super Cup title in the two rounds of the first half of the year, defeated Chelsea in a single game with a 2-0 victory at Chelsea today. This game is reminiscent of almost half a year ago. , Viali just took the first game led by Chelsea, that game was the League Cup final, Hall strategically defeated Viali, today is a tactical knockdown of the opponent, through the results of two championship battles, Hall showed excellent tactical platoon formation and commanding ability, which was awkwardly viali, but this should also be normal, viali can show off his player''s achievements in the era of the player, Hall You can use the coach''s performance to return color, and God is really fair."


    Millwall won the European Super Cup again at Louis II Stadium. After the game, Aldridge was naturally the focus. He defied Chelsea before the game, but defeated his opponent with a conservative counterattack tactics during the game. This process is subversive. But the result was enough for Audric to start facing the media.


    He accepted the post-match interview directly on the sidelines and was surrounded by a group of reporters in the center.


    When someone asked him if he was proud to beat Chelsea again, Aldridge said helplessly: "I don''t know what the source of this pride? Is it because of the championship trophy, or because the opponent defeated is Chelsea. If it is the former, I can''t I am proud, but I am satisfied with the performance of the players. If it is the latter, I think this is ridiculous. Chelsea is not a big deal. You always say that Deseli, Leberf, is better than Southgate and Materazzi. Strong, saying that Poyet Di Matteo is also stronger than Lampard and Makelele, and so on. I think this is the most erroneous comparison. The ability of the two teams to compete is not meaningful, and Southgate Will not be one-on-one with Deseli, and Materazzi¡¯s defender is not Lerberf, who is stronger and better, is it important? The point is that Southgate and Materazzi freeze Flo and Zola, Makelele and Lampard restricted Poyet and Di Matteo, but Chelsea could not prevent Millwall''s offensive players, Millwall is stronger, there is nothing to dispute So, should I be proud of beating a team that is already weaker than us?"


    Aldrich was tired of the media raising Chelsea''s strength indefinitely.


    Chelsea has made progress and improved its strength. This is a fact, but it does not mean that it has really reached a point where it must be viewed by a first-class strong team.


    Especially when the media is bored, it will vertically compare the strength of the teams, and the way is ridiculous in his eyes.


    From a normal perspective, the comparison of the strength of the two teams is to compare the strength of players on the three fronts. Everyone''s back line, midfielder, and forward are more capable.


    But as coach, Aldridge never compares the team''s strength in this way.


    That doesn''t make sense. The contrast when he analyzed his opponent was transferred.


    The midfield line may be a direct collision, which is related to the control of the midfield.


    But how does a defender compare with a defender and a striker compare with a forward?


    He will only use his opponent''s striker to compare his defenders, his own striker to compare his opponent''s defenders, and then targeted deployment.


    If the opponent''s defender is slow, then play the advantage of speed. If there is a problem with the defender''s air defense, then play high altitude.


    If the opponent''s forward is fast and sharp, he will adjust the position of the back line. After the Southgate drags, he will intercept the penetration of the opponent. If the opponent is playing a long pass, then the defender''s layout It is mainly to occupy regional control rights.


    He can frankly admit that the combination of Makelele and Lampard midfielders cannot form a control advantage over Chelsea during the offense, so he adjusted tactically and attacked the wing. Millwall flew both wings today to maximize his advantage. , To minimize the disadvantages of the short board, this is the key point of winning.


    After the game, the interview broke up, and Aldridge finally turned to criticize the media, thinking that they always compared, not only did not respect his players, but also affected the mood of the players.


    Anyone who hears that they are not as good as their opponents is not happy!


    But as long as the game is won, the players will be happier.


    After the award ceremony, Millwall celebrated in a low-key manner, and then many players of the team returned directly from Monaco to participate in the FIFA international competition.


    Aldridge returned to London with the few remaining players.


    The next league will be played after ten days.


    In addition to the main force of the national team like Nedved and Southgate, basically the young players of the main lineup are either on the national team bench or are called by the lower echelon. Let them go to the U23 and U21 international games, which will help them grow, although this will affect Millwall''s next league, the so-called FIFA virus.


    After returning to London, Aldridge''s life was in order, jogging with Ewen in the morning and working during the day.


    Just as the national team was in full swing, Aldridge received an invitation to dinner from Wiseman, the FA''s chairman.


    In the evening, celebrities and gentry of the Leeds Hotel came in and out, and a steady stream of guests came to the door, and the business was booming.


    Aldrich came here with a brand-new Audi. He used to be too old for BMW, and he went to repair and maintenance from time to time. It was better to buy a new one, so he accepted the Audi from the team sponsor in the summer. He drove the car to advertise, and it was a normal exchange of interests.


    Under the guidance of the waiter, Aldridge came to the box. Wiseman and CEO Kelly were looking forward to it. When Aldridge came in, the two got up to meet.


    "Congratulations, there is another trophy in Millwall''s honor room, Aldridge, you can get a trophy faster than you can take a rocket, hahahaha."


    Wiseman''s opening statement surprised Audridge.


    This flattering is too conspicuous.


    Strange, abnormal!


    In the past, the exchanges between each other were based on an equal position, or Wisemanto, who relied on the identity of an elder and spoke to Audridge.


    Aldridge did not care about the position of the senior team of the Football Association, but many people in the football circle are thinking about it. The chairmen or executive officers of the teams in the Premier League are all staring at that position. Climbing up in the circle, one day he will go to a high position in the FA.


    Therefore, when dealing with such people, the other party loves face, and Aldridge will give it to the other party, no big deal.


    But today the other party''s attitude is obviously abnormal. Aldrich guessed that there was a mystery in this meal. If something goes wrong, there must be a monster!


    He humbly answered with two sentences and sat down. Kelly was also enthusiastic. He smiled and gave the menu to Aldridge. Aldridge smiled and refused. He turned his head and asked the waiter to order his own dinner. The number of times he came here Quite a lot, I like to eat what I know.


    In the first half of the dinner, Wiseman and Kelly sang together, and the dinner entered a moment of recollection. The two began to review the achievements of Aldridge since he became the head coach more than four years ago.


    The trophy honors one by one came out of their mouths.


    In the middle, they bear the brand of witnessing the growth of Aldridge.


    Wiseman talked about the excitement of awarding Millwall in every domestic event, and prides himself on his wisdom. He has long believed that Aldridge can achieve today''s achievements...


    Aldridge was just eating, and the other two said, he nodded with a smile, without talking.


    Waiting for the dullness of the two to talk about it can no longer be touted, Wiseman gave Kelly a wink, and the other understood, and took out a document from the briefcase and handed it to Aldridge.


    Aldrich wiped his mouth, secretly said: finally it''s time for the business.


    He took the file and opened it, and didn''t understand the other person''s intention for a while. After putting down the file, he asked, "Is this not related to me or Millwall?"


    Wiseman smiled and said: "No, it does matter! The FA invites you to join our team. Isn''t the Lion King Stadium completed in two years? By then, at the 2006 World Cup, the Lion King Stadium will become a game. One of the main arenas."


    06 World Cup?


    Yes, that document contains the content of the FA to compete for the bid for the 2006 World Cup.


    After thinking for a while, Aldridge said, "But I am the head coach and I have no time."


    "It doesn''t take up much time for you. Now that you are so popular, it also has a certain influence in the European football circle. With your image, your presence as a member of the English delegation is also good for you."


    Wiseman stared eagerly at Aldridge.


    The English delegation went to bid for the 2006 World Cup, and the FA hopes that Audridge will become an ambassador.


    As the chairman said, it seems that this matter is beneficial to Aldridge. He becomes an ambassador and can further enhance his reputation.


    But there is a premise, that is the success of the bid in England.


    Aldridge shook his head after thinking for a moment: "Sorry, I still want to do my job well enough."


    As a result of thinking about it, he thought that rejection was the best choice.


    There are three reasons.


    First, England¡¯s bid to host the 2006 World Cup was a fiasco. Aldridge didn¡¯t want to be labeled as a ambassador.


    Second, England¡¯s bid to host the 2006 World Cup is morally untrustworthy and unpopular.


    This originated from the European Cup of England in 1996. Aldridge remembered that he had read the professional report analysis of Fleet Street at that time. The reason why England was able to successfully host the European Cup in 1996 was that in the bidding process, England and Germany had a gentleman agreement privately. Germany gave up the bid for the European Cup in 1996 in exchange for England¡¯s support for the 2006 World Cup.


    Now England has benefited. After finishing the European Cup, but wanting to continue to bid for the World Cup, not only does it not support Germany, or even directly competes with it, this is a bit of a meaning.


    If Aldrich is involved, although the previous agreement and football politics have nothing to do with him, the negative effects will certainly affect him.


    The last reason is that Germany is too powerful!


    For the 2006 World Cup, Germany is almost a political and business backing for football. The delegation is gorgeous and the country has spared no effort to support the hosting of the World Cup. It has reached the point where it does not hesitate to vote and carry the national interest. What does England compete with others?


    Knowing that it will be a surefire, will Aldridge still participate?


    The World Cup is such a huge and complicated project in front of and behind the scenes. Aldridge is no match for strength, and he has no endurance to turn the tide. The English division is unknown. He does not want to go to this muddy water.


    Wiseman and Kelly persuaded Aldridge tirelessly, hoping that he could join England''s bid to host the World Cup delegation, but Aldridge refused to enter, no matter what the other side said, they refused each other on the grounds that they wanted to coach the club.


    The dinner ended with Wiseman and Kelly scuffing away.


    The three-year friendly relationship between Aldridge and FAFC Chairman Wiseman also broke down directly.

 Chapter 350： Want to provoke war?

    Aldrich, who left the Ritz Hotel, did not go home directly, but parked his car on the Thames road. He stood in front of the fence on the riverside and smoked.


    Actually, he was annoyed.


    Why should he listen to others?


    What did the FA chairman want him to do? As soon as Aldridge refused, the other side was immediately unhappy. The earth was neither around Aldridge nor around Wiseman. Everyone was calm, cooperation was possible, cooperation If you can''t, you can''t make a face.


    Aldrich finished smoking a cigarette and looked at the unsteady river, lying on the stone fence tiredly. If he and Wiseman are of the same age, his refusal will not cause the other party¡¯s reaction. Unfortunately, His appearance is just a 22-year-old young man, who turned back to the absolute side in front of him, and when the other party was so enthusiastic about flattering at the beginning, he could not hold his face, but Aldridge had no choice, if he insisted, maybe He should say that he thinks about it and waits for a period of time before telling the other person his answer in private, at least not as embarrassing to refuse in person.


    Although the FA has no control over the Premier League, the Premier League has been out of the control of the FA since its establishment. The Premier League runs the league independently, and even the revenue is not divided into the FA, and the conflict between the FA and the Premier League committee comes from It has been a long time since the prosperity of the Premier League has sacrificed the interests of three low-level professional leagues in England.


    But the FA can¡¯t manage the Premier League, but it has a strong influence on the individual clubs. Aldrich has operated the club these years. In addition to the club¡¯s internal management, it has also been slightly drilled in diplomacy. There are megaphones on Fleet Street. They all have Millwall''s exclusive brand, they can render Millwall''s positive image in the news, and Millwall will also reveal the first-hand information to them, maintaining a good cooperative relationship with each other.


    As for the FA, Aldridge rarely intervened in order to avoid suspicion. There was Arthur, the club chairman, on the side of the Premier League committee. On the FA side, Andrew was unblocking the relationship. Throughout the sky, at least it is a situation in which people in the DPRK and China are easy to handle things.


    Now with Wiseman directly overthrow, Aldridge does not know whether it will affect the relationship between Millwall and the FA.


    After enjoying the night view of the Thames for more than half an hour, Aldridge put his worries behind him and drove home to take a shower and sleep.


    After the FIFA game day, the players returned to the team.


    On the training ground, the returning players saw a stranger.


    Klinsmann completed all the formalities and officially joined Millwall.


    Fortunately, Klinsmann¡¯s application for the teaching assistant qualification was completed before Audridge and Wiseman turned their faces. Otherwise, this matter would have to make waves again. The boat has become a boat, and the FA will not dry up and smash himself. Foot thing.


    The arrival of Klinsmann made the players very excited. He is also a legend on the green field, especially the scene of the tearful tears of the World Cup in 1990, which will make this generation unforgettable.


    Schneider came in front of this senior and teased: "We also played hands six months ago, and now we work together!"


    Klinsmann in sportswear, holding his arms and chuckling, said: "My experience with you makes me very unhappy, now it''s okay, if you dare to be lazy, hum."


    He played for Tottenham for one and a half seasons, and scored 30 goals in 56 league games. The efficiency was amazing. However, when he played for Tottenham for the first time, Millwall was still in the Premier League and had no chance to play with him. After last season The half-time confrontation was the only one. Millwall managed to limit him and gave Tottenham a defeat.


    Schneider raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Come on, you won''t have a chance."


    When the other players came out one after another, the team warmed up before training. Aldridge called Klinsmann aside. He and Jensen briefly explained Klinsmann¡¯s training tasks for today.


    There is a good saying, haven¡¯t you eaten pork and haven¡¯t seen the pig run?


    Klinsmann has nearly two decades of player career. At least 100 days of training are needed throughout the year. He has worked in different leagues and clubs. He is well-versed and certainly familiar with training.


    But players can train themselves and become coaches to guide player training. It cannot be said that they are two completely different worlds, but the difference is definitely obvious.


    Aldrich first made Klinsmann a coach.


    Klinsmann listened carefully and wrote down the key points. He wouldn¡¯t give up his personal opinion. Aldrich described the task. He listened, accepted, and executed. It was that simple. He waited until he became comfortable with his new role. Will express his views and suggestions. Now, no matter what he says, most of them are based on player thinking, which is obviously immature.


    With the addition of Klinsmann, the training enthusiasm of the players has been much higher. Perhaps they also want to give Klinsmann a "down horse power": Do you know why we are strong? Just look at our training attitude and effect!


    During the break, Klinsmann can play his strengths, he can teach young players some game advice, forward skills and other knowledge.


    At the end of the first day of training, Aldridge invited Klinsmann to dinner at home. The two walked to Aldridge¡¯s apartment together. When the sun went down, Klinsmann seemed worried.


    Aldrich looked away from the beautiful view of the horizon, turned his head to look at Klinsmann, and asked with a smile: "Is my invitation too abrupt?"


    After recovering, Klinsmann shook his head and frowned: "I think Millwall''s training is too easy and the intensity is very low. Is this the secret? Let the players accumulate energy while training and stay all in the game. Released? So the team''s record is so good."


    Aldridge smiled dumbly and said, "No, these two days are just special cases. Many players have just returned from the national team. They are tired of training. If the training is demanding, they will not only be unable to recover from physical fatigue, but also have conflicts in their hearts."


    Klinsmann suddenly realized, and laughed at himself: "Sure enough, he forgot everything after retiring from the player."


    "Wait a week or two, you will re-enter the state, hehe."


    "It won''t take so long. Starting tomorrow, I will be assistant coach Jurgen Klinsmann."


    ...


    At the weekend''s league, Millwall ushered in the London Derby at home, the opponent is mad help Wimbledon.


    As the poorest club in the English Premier League, even if the Premier League broadcast contract has soared, their strength is still declining, because they do not have their own stadium, and the salary of the players is rising. Will be poached by other teams, what remains is a group of blue-collar fighters who sledgehammer.


    Playing this kind of team, if you play the game of Yangchun Baixue, it is estimated that even if you win the game, it will not be worth the loss, it is likely to add a few names to the injury list.


    Aldrich continues the old traditions and is hard to beat!


    To fight madness is to play rough and simple violence.


    Because of the Champions League next week, it just happened to let some main players rest. Ronaldinho and Glenchard didn¡¯t make it. Aldrich had an unprecedented 343 formation in the starting lineup.


    The defender line is Mills, Materazzi, Neal.


    The midfielders are VanderMead, Lampard, Gattuso, Duff.


    The striker lines are double forwards Fanny and Klose, with Nedved lurking behind them.


    The gang must be dead-locked, and now it¡¯s no wonder that in the past few seasons, the gang¡¯s attitude towards Millwall has been declining all the way, from dare to dare to attack to a dead-end draw, the only constant is their rough ball wind.


    At the Lion''s Cave Stadium, at the very beginning of the game, the opponent still used the old tactics. When he first came up, he invaded his opponent and gave him a chance to dismount.


    Duff took the ball on the left to break through. The ball passed, but the person didn''t pass, but was knocked out of the sideline, and then Duff did not stand up.


    Aldrich just sat down and saw this scene. He suddenly rushed out of the coach seat and yelled at the fourth official: "Fuck! This **** is not a foul? The lineman is blind? Is the opponent a foul?"


    Yes, the lineman over there did not wave the flag to signal a foul, nor did referee Horne punish Wimbledon for the foul. Instead, the opponent was awarded a foul.


    Duff fell out of the border, so it didn''t affect the game. Millwall''s team doctor had to enter around the sidelines. Aldridge grabbed the team doctor''s arm and pointed to the court and said, "Just go here !"


    The team doctor heard the words change the route, trot into the court, the referee can only temporarily interrupt the game, at this time, the lion cave stadium sounded a thunderous boo, that was given to Wimbledon and the referee team.


    There was a lot of pressure on the sideman. Just behind him, many fans roared and shouted at him, insulting him blindly!


    The team doctor checked Duff''s injury and gestured directly to Aldridge.


    Aldridge''s face was somber that Zambrotta warmed up, and the frontier, Zambrotta could also play, or, in history, he was famous for playing avant-garde.


    Duff was lifted off the field, and he sprained his ankle when he fell.


    Aldrich didn''t want to always stand on the sidelines and would overplay the pressure on the players. Like the European Super Cup ten days ago, he sat on the coach seat almost all the way.


    But the signs of today''s game are a bit wrong.


    Very wrong!


    Wimbledon''s opening action was not fouled, which seems to be the tone of the penalty scale. Next, Wimbledon''s players frequently used brutal fouls to contain Millwall''s offense, almost reaching the level of allowing Millwall''s players. One meter close to them will inevitably be blocked by violations or beyond technical moves.


    Some of the referees awarded fouls, some did not blow, and it is incredible that a warning yellow card has not been taken out!


    Aldridge watched the game for 30 minutes on the sidelines, and finally shook his head, giving the team instructions: no need to play the ground pass, useless! Just hit the long pass!


    As a result, the game became a bit boring, and the audience watched the ball flying around in the sky, and there were very few exciting moments.


    Before the end of the first half, Klose handed the ball to Fanny around him after stopping the ball in the penalty area. In the case of a three-person sandwich, Fanny shot directly with his toes and the ball rolled into the dead end of the goal. When Fannie was about to celebrate, the referee signaled that the goal was invalid. His gesture was Klose''s handball when the ball was stopped.


    Aldridge''s expression was similar to that of nearly 20,000 spectators on the scene.


    Klose''s arms were raised when the ball was stopped on the chest, but the two arms were on the sides of the chest. If you look sideways, it does seem to be suspected of handball, but when you look at it from the front, you can clearly see that the ball is not in contact at all. In his arm, the head referee could not run to the side to observe the game. He must be in the middle of the road. Even if it is skewed, the angle will not be too far, and he is outside the restricted area of ??Wimbledon. Less than five meters from Klose, he actually sentenced Klose to handball!


    When the penalty appeared, Aldridge understood it, completely understood.


    Wiseman, your mother-in-law is too small!


    Is it a threat or a revenge to play this kind of abuse? Do you want to force me to follow or do you want to provoke war?


    What a disdain.

 Chapter 351： Play less

    At the end of the first half, the Lion''s Cavern Stadium booed, Aldridge was waiting for the referee on the sidelines, and he walked over to try to communicate with the referee.


    However, Horn did not enter, and did not look at Aldridge. No matter what he said next to him, Horn was always a straight-eyed gesture of holding the ball toward the player''s channel.


    Aldrich had a fire in his heart, and there was nothing to say in the locker room. He could only mobilize the morale of the players so that they would not be affected by the referee''s penalty and concentrate on the game.


    There is nothing to adjust tactically. Millwall kept pressing his opponents in the first half. If they were not blown away by a goal, they would have taken the lead.


    Before the second half of the game, Aldridge stood with his hands in his pockets and stood on the sidelines. Everyone could see that he was very angry and pointed at the referee.


    "Today¡¯s punishment scale is too lax, which obviously benefits Wimbledon, and with a goal being blown away, Hall¡¯s dissatisfaction with the referee is reasonable. Horne is the first time to enforce the Premier League game today, maybe he is too nervous Maybe he wanted to make the game run smoothly and didn¡¯t want to interrupt the game too much, but he obviously didn¡¯t do it. It¡¯s really strange why a referee with no Premier League experience would enforce this game. Millwall always won the championship. Popular teams, the FA should ensure that their game is fair and fair, and the excellent referee is the guarantee for this."


    Even the live commentator could not explain Horne.


    The level is there, at a glance.


    As a matter of common sense, a referee who has no Premier League experience to advance to the top court for law enforcement must definitely hone his experience from a game with a relatively low level of attention. However, any game involving a hot team that competes for a championship will generally make everyone familiar. Come to law enforcement.


    Millwall''s players were a bit scared in the second half.


    For example, Van der Mede barely dared to take the ball and immediately passed it after receiving it.


    He was not afraid of the normal confrontation, but today the opponent¡¯s aggressiveness was scary, and the referee did not suppress Wimbledon¡¯s violent momentum in time. The players were successively violated by actions beyond the scope of technical actions. Who can not be afraid?


    Perhaps everyone except Nedved was a little worried.


    Wimbledon, it was the gang who kicked Liverpool in tears.


    So Millwall''s long pass was even more determined, not only from the side, but also directly from the backcourt to the penalty area.


    In the 63rd minute of the game, Zambrotta passed the ball on the left and the ball fell to a great spot. Fanny was about to jump to the top. As a result, he was hit directly by Wimbledon''s defensive player from behind.


    All the fans in the stands of the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium stood up and raised their arms in unison, shouting in unison: "Foul! Penalty!"


    The referee Horne crossed his hands in front of him, indicating that there was no foul.


    Aldridge gave a sneering smile.


    He knew it was useless to protest, but someone stopped it. Klinsmann, the newly appointed assistant coach, walked to the fourth official and pointedly pointed at the other person¡¯s face with indignation. It¡¯s shit! Shit! You don¡¯t deserve your clothes!"


    "Judge in Black" was angry, the referee quit the game and ran to the side to show a red card to Klinsmann. Klinsmann was a little emotional. He didn''t want to talk to the referee. Use, so block him and let him go back.


    Klinsmann glared at the referee three steps back, but the fans on both sides of the player''s passage applauded him.


    I have to say that his performance just now won the favor of the fans.


    In the boos, Aldridge applauded and mocked the referee.


    The referee Horne hesitated for a moment and dared not continue to send Audridge out.


    But here is the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium, Millwall¡¯s home court. Is he notorious for wanting to smash the court?


    As the game continued, Horne could not resist the continuous boos, and finally began to draw a card to warn the Wimbledon players, but the game time was less than half an hour. It didn¡¯t matter if the Wimbledon players took turns to take the cards. The game has been Intermittently, with Wimbledon deliberately delaying the time, the score has remained 0:0.


    When it came to the last fifteen minutes, Aldridge let Materazzi also top the line.


    However, when Wimbledon withdrew across the board, they could always set up a defense line, because as long as there was danger, they fouled, and then delayed the time. After the defense in and out of the penalty area, Millwall could only find opportunities by positioning the ball.


    When the regular time of the game is over, the fourth official plays stoppage time: 4 minutes.


    Aldridge shook his head and smiled.


    With so many fouls in the second half, Wimbledon also changed three people, delaying the time if there was a chance, but finally gave only 4 minutes of stoppage time.


    However, in the injury stoppage period, Nedvide used his personal play to break through the other two players in the front of the penalty area. Seeing that he was knocked down by the third player outside the penalty area, he poke the ball in the penalty area in advance. Klose.


    Klose successfully took the ball against offside and was about to shoot. The referee Horne''s whistle sounded.


    Klose ignored the whistle and shot the ball directly to Wimbledon''s goal.


    But Horne pointed outside the penalty area, indicating that it should be Millwall''s direct free kick.


    After climbing up from the ground, Nedved shouted incredulously at the referee: "It was a good ball, we have scored!"


    Horne explained solemnly: "But I whistle ahead."


    Millwall''s players all surrounded Horn. After Horn was "siegeed", he showed three yellow cards and one red card in succession. Materazzi was directly sent off for insulting the referee!


    Aldridge was expressionless on the sidelines.


    After the game resumed, Lampard''s free kick missed the crossbar and the referee Horne directly blew the whistle at the end of the game.


    Lampard ran to Horn in amazement and said: "Four minutes of stoppage time, the opponent''s foul is in the second minute, at least 2 minutes left!"


    Horn ignored anybody and waited for the ball to get out of the referee team.


    Aldridge twisted into the player channel.


    The lion''s cave stadium boos, and a weird scene appeared.


    The big fat man Arthur ran into the court all the way from the passage beside the VIP seat.


    The staff next to him probably realized what the club''s chairman, the handsome father wanted to do, but he was an out-and-out old rogue!


    So the next person swarmed up and grabbed Arthur, who was full of anger. Arthur was grabbed his arms by the two. He shook his arm and did not break free, so the two arms were pulled directly from the suit, and then continued to rush forward .


    When he was less than three meters away from Horn, the people behind finally dragged him again. Arthur was dragged by three people from behind but stepped forward step by step. He roared like a madman at the referee team. stand up.


    "You **** robberies! Help Wimbledon robbed us! Football war criminals! Disgrace! Grass mud horses, come over for me, I want to beat you!"


    Arthur was finally dragged down by six people before he stopped walking. With a stern look, he stared at his eyes, gritted his teeth, and very reluctantly watched the referee team moving away.


    When the referee walked in front of the player''s passage, a line of security guards stood on both sides to prevent angry fans from rushing down, but the fans in the nearby stands still used lighters, coins and other debris to attack the members of the referee.


    In the end, the referee''s retreat was the image of a slap in the air...


    "About five years ago, if we saw this scene at Lions Cave Stadium, we would not be surprised or surprised, but at this moment, the scene is rare, but emotionally normal, and Millwall feels very unfair treatment. The fans just made the normal reaction when normal people encounter injustice. The game is over. Millwall draws 0:0 at home to Wimbledon. I hope today''s game will not affect their next game."


    After the game, reporters from all sides of Fleet Street gathered at the press conference. Originally, Millwall played against Wimbledon at home. Its attention was not as good as that of another simultaneous London derby: Chelsea vs Arsenal.


    So many reporters went to Stamford Bridge before the game, but now they are all rushing to the Lion''s Cave Stadium.


    Aldridge took a long time to appease the players in the locker room after the game. He needed the players to face all this calmly. Anger was useless. Anger would make them irrational.


    When he appeared at the press conference, the seats under the stage were already full, and many reporters were standing in the aisle, a scene full of people.


    Aldridge sat down indifferently, picked up the mineral water on the table and took a sip.


    Richard can''t wait to ask directly: "Mr. Hall, what do you think of today''s game?"


    Aldrich looked pale and calmly said: "The opponent is too strong, we have a difficult draw."


    The reporters in the audience were stunned.


    Richard asked exaggeratedly: "Don''t you have any opinion on the referee''s enforcement?"


    Aldridge looked baffled, but also asked the other party: "Is there a referee for today''s game? Why didn''t I see it? I only saw that from the beginning to the end of the game, Millwall played one less person than Wimbledon... we used 11 people later turned into 10 people to challenge the powerful Wimbledon 12 people, thank God we didn¡¯t lose."


    The reporters on Fleet Street suddenly realized that they were all excited.


    Waiting for you to fire!


    However, no matter how they fan the flames, Aldridge only said that Millwall played one less person and there was no referee on the court, regardless of the process or result, the game was reasonable.


    Aldrich''s calm irony, plus several controversial penalties in the game, made this game the focus after the game.


    Millwall did not complain to the head referee and the FA would naturally not investigate.


    However, the FA''s ticket was issued very quickly.


    Aldridge improperly banned five games after the game and was fined 100,000 pounds.


    Klinsmann was expelled from the court, with three additional fines and a fine of 30,000 pounds.


    Materazzi played with a red card, suspended two games and fined two games with a fine of five thousand pounds.


    Club President Arthur threatened the referee after the game, prohibiting admission to watch the game at home.


    At the same time, after the riots at the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium, the fans attacked the referee team, and the FA launched a stadium safety investigation. The penalty will be announced after the investigation results. During the investigation period, some stands of the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium were closed and fans were prohibited from entering the stadium.


    Football Association Chairman Wiseman also made a public statement: In view of the chaos caused by Millwall fans, the Football Association is reconsidering whether to continue to lease the national image of Wembley to the other party.


    Millwall¡¯s response was dull, neither appealing nor paying the penalty as soon as possible.


    Aldridge and Andrew met in the park on the eastern outskirts of London the night after the game. The two didn''t go home until late at night.


    This incident also caused a fierce reaction from the entire English Premier League. The unprofitable Premier League would have to use the title to play a war to fight for power and profit.


    Professional Event Officials Limited (PGMOL) has the authority to supervise the referee committee, and this company is initiated by three parties, the FA, the Premier League, and the Premier League committee, which are naturally filled with power struggles and intrigues.


    Now that the Premier League wants to expand its voice, Millwall''s game gave them an opportunity to take a table with the FA.

 Chapter 352： Hidden killer

    Recently, there has been a lot of enthusiasm in English football. The soap opera of Manchester United''s changing host continues to be broadcast. The Red Devils fans have fiercely protested the storm, but Murdoch''s acquisition is nearing completion. The transaction price is said to be around 620 million pounds.


    Although Manchester United fans have spoken out against Edwards for many years and believe that its crimes against Manchester United are overwhelming, but even if Manchester United fans want Edwards to get out, they cannot accept that Manchester United, which has a British tradition, has become the private property of Americans.


    In order to appease the fans, Manchester United officials even announced that the new boss will retain the club¡¯s traditions after entering the club, hoping that the fans can reasonably accept the reality and let the club¡¯s change of hands deal peacefully.


    Everything seems to be fixed, Manchester United will usher in a new boss, but the British government suddenly intervened in this transaction. The Fair Trade Commission prevented the parties from completing the final transaction procedures on the grounds of reviewing the transaction.


    Murdoch has a huge industry in the United Kingdom. If he does not have an industry in the United Kingdom, he can justly buy Manchester United. But when the British government intervened, he began to have some scruples.


    A wave is unsettled, another wave is rising.


    The match between Millwall and Wimbledon caused an uproar after the game. The FA made a series of heavy tickets to Millwall, and the first to send a huge response, instead of Millwall, Millwall looks like he is angry. Bao, the FA''s penalty, they accept, no further words.


    However, there were strong opposition voices within the FA first.


    Perhaps not many people knew that Aldridge and Wiseman had changed from friends to enemies in a single meal, but it was right that Wiseman¡¯s ¡°political enemy¡± in the football world was the first to claim that Millwall suffered Very serious injury, that game was a disaster, rose to such an exaggerated height of the All England Premier League, the disaster of all England.


    This is the same as the method used by the English Premier League to exaggerate the effect of the facts as a handle to attack opponents.


    The referee committee chairman even publicly apologized to Millwall, directly acknowledging that the referee''s law enforcement level caused the mistake and damaged Millwall''s court interests.


    When Wiseman made the remark that "the FA reconsiders whether to lend Wembley to Millwall", Aldridge has already led the expedition to Italy.


    In Milan City, before the official start of the Champions League press conference, Aldridge was sitting under the stage with David Miller next to him. He wanted to have a short interview with Aldridge. Aldridge did not refuse.


    "Did the last league hit you hard?"


    "You can''t say no, but sometimes this kind of thing happens on the football field. Some misjudgments are indeed mistakes, and some misjudgments are premeditated."


    David Miller frowned: "Are you accusing Horne of deliberately preventing Millwall from winning?"


    "I don¡¯t know, but the people who watched that game all have their own criteria for judging. In fact, I admire Horn, really, as the referee, blown away two of our goals and missed one of our penalty kicks. Oh, he changed another head referee and made one of the mistakes. It is estimated that he couldn¡¯t sleep well for a month. He can withstand the pressure of public opinion. His inner strength makes me admire. This is not ironic, but honest. "


    Aldrich¡¯s remarks are sincere. Some people are born to be used as guns, but it is not easy to be a gun.


    David Miller sighed: "It is said that the referee committee has deprived Horn''s qualification for the Premier League. Without a new opportunity, he will not be able to enforce the Premier League or the important cup in the future."


    Aldrich secretly said: Rabbits and dogs cook.


    "Have you heard of Wiseman''s remarks?"


    "About Wembley? Well, I heard that this is nothing. Originally, Millwall was the borrower. The FA has the power to rent it to us, and of course it has the right to refuse, but even if they decide not to rent, then it must be Wait for next season."


    "Aren''t you worried? Millwall''s new stadium should not be available next season. If you still want to play in the Champions League, where do you go to play? Do you spend a lot of money to upgrade the stadium specifications of the Lions Stadium? Site requirements."


    Aldridge smiled after thinking for a moment: "I don''t know yet, things haven''t reached that point yet, there is no need to think about what to do in the future now. If the FA doesn''t rent the stadium to us, Millwall will definitely not be in Lions There are major changes to the cave course, especially if we expect to move into the new course in two thousand years."


    Miller hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively: "Are you and Wiseman, the FA''s chairman, not friends? Why would he raise this matter at this time?"


    Aldrich nodded and said: "Yes, I am a friend and he has always been in a good relationship, and it is the same now. But work is work, personal ties are private, Wembley is not Wiseman''s, and the FA is. In England, when Arsenal also want to rent Wembley, maybe the English Football Club always considers the issue of rental income before rethinking this matter. I think this is normal. In the case of Wiseman, I will also think about it and listen to Arsenal¡¯s rental offer to see if it can bring more revenue to the FA. Everyone knows that the FA¡¯s finances have not been very optimistic.¡±


    David Miller looked at Aldridge with deep eyes and found that the other party''s expression was as usual as usual, and he forgot the thought he had just in the heart.


    At that moment, he had an idea: Aldridge''s words implied murder.


    Yes, everyone knows that the FA has financial problems. Since the Premier League has left the FA¡¯s control, the FA¡¯s revenue has declined year after year. It used to rely on the fourth-level professional league to maintain its livelihood. Not only did they become independent portals, but they also sacrificed the benefits of the following three-level professional league.


    Everyone in the English football circle knows this kind of thing, but Aldridge suddenly raised the FA¡¯s financial problems at this time, especially in the context of factional rivalry within the FA. Odridge is not a friend. Wiseman''s scar?


    After thinking about it, David Miller thought that it might be that Aldridge was young and inexperienced, and he was straightforward and the city was not deep. Otherwise, this kind of avoidance problem should never be spoken from the inside.


    Other media reporters came to the scene one after another. Aldrich came back on stage. He came early today, so he chatted with Miller and accepted a simple interview. Then, it was the official press conference of the Champions League.


    Everyone knows that Millwall suffered a heavy penalty in the Premier League, but no one cares. Everyone is looking forward to tomorrow''s game. Millwall challenges Inter Milan away.


    The newspaper with the largest circulation in Europe is the ¡°Gazzetta dello Sport¡±. Giancarlo started tracking the Premier League this season. He is very happy to see Millwall visiting Italy again in the Champions League.


    Here, as if he was home, Aldridge also gave him face, first answering his questions.


    "As the defending champion, what was the goal of the first round of the group stage?"


    Aldridge thought without hesitation: "Of course it is winning! I have good memories in Italy. Inter Milan is very strong. They have the best strikers recognized in the world, plus such talented players as Baggio, Djokov, etc. Millwall likes powerful opponents. Only by defeating them can we experience special pleasure."


    At the scene, many reporters from the Italian media heard Aldridge''s words, and suddenly felt that this population made rants!


    Millwall is a good defending champion, but the strength of the two teams is comparable. Inter Milan, from the strength of the starting player to the thickness of the team, is not weaker than Millwall.


    Giancarlo heard the words but smiled slightly and said, "Is this your psychological warfare? I want the people of Inter Milan to hear your rants, and then tomorrow in Meazza, Inter Milan will make a big pressure, your team can Use your speed advantage to fight back, so you can easily take away the victory, right?"


    It must be said that in a country of academic tactical paradise in Italy, professional journalists have more tactical knowledge than journalists from other countries.


    This doesn''t mean that other reporters can''t think of this, but it''s not so fast. In particular, they don''t understand Audridge''s style better than Giancarlo.


    Even if Aldrich was exposed to his heart, he still had a breezy smile.


    "Psychological warfare? Haha, think about it from another angle. Isn''t Inter Milan focusing on Meazza? Will they be conservative in the face of the young Millwall? Mr. Giancarlo, I just told the truth, I can¡¯t always say that Millwall will be happy when he gets a draw on the road, but we are defending champions.¡±


    Giancarlo asked with a smile: "Even if the Millwall lineup is incomplete, you still insist that the team must win tomorrow?"


    "I rarely give a death order to the team, requiring them to win a certain game and get a certain championship. I have different requirements for the players. My standards are based on their performance. Some People can achieve 90 points, but only 60 points in the game, even if we win, I am not satisfied. So, tomorrow¡¯s game, I will only ask the players to play better than usual, as for victory, I believe that as long as they do what I ask, the end result will be what we want to see."


    Aldridge talked freely, but a reporter from the audience asked a question that made him very helpless.


    "After Inter Milan''s former coach Simoni was out of class, he said that the reason for his get out of class was because you suggested to Moratti to invite Hodgson to coach again. Is this the case?"


    Aldridge sighed.


    He felt innocent.


    Moratti has invested heavily in the past few years, but the most wanted league title is untouchable. Even if Simone led his team to win the UEFA Cup championship, he was still dissatisfied, and at the same time Millwall climbed to the top of Europe. Rati didn¡¯t know what was going on. He seemed to think that England¡¯s coach was awesome, so he remembered Hodgson who once coached Inter.


    To be honest, when Hodgson coached Inter for the first time, the cards in his hands were not as good as they are now, but he was able to take Inter to the second-season runner-up, the UEFA Cup runner-up, but missed the championship with a penalty. Unfortunately, Moratti thought that if it was Let Hodgson take over the current team, it must be more than Simon Niu.


    So, Moratti called Aldridge in the summer to ask Aldridge¡¯s suggestions. At that time, Aldridge felt strange and didn¡¯t know why the other party asked him. He couldn¡¯t say that Hodgson was not good. Meaning to reply to each other, Moratti finally made up his mind and directly invited Hodgson in the summer. Therefore, when the Champions League lottery was drawn, Hodgson talked enthusiastically with Aldridge as soon as he came up...


    "Inter Milan''s choice of coach is nothing to do with me."


    In the face of the media, Aldridge can only pervert things.


    There are too many wrongs to say, and the relationship should be clear and simple.

 Chapter 353： Inter star gathered

    On the night of the game, Meazza was full.


    Serie A started a little late, Inter Milan just finished playing a league game, a small away victory over Cagliari, Hodgson''s second debut in the palace made a good start.


    Before the game started, Aldridge and Hodgson spoke on the sidelines, and the atmosphere was not as warm as before the draw results.


    From Hodgson''s expression, he can be more worried about today''s game. He has a solemn face. If Aldridge hates him, he will probably be sullied in his heart: that expression looks like he just attended the funeral.


    Aldridge in his suit and leather shoes sat down and waited quietly for the start of the game.


    Players from both sides started to enter.


    "The first round of the 98/99 UEFA Champions League group stage is about to begin. The game played earlier on the first match day can be regarded as the opening game of the Champions League in the new season. The defending champion Millwall challenged the runner-up of Serie A last season. Inter Milan, such a powerful dialogue is indeed awaiting the opening of the Champions League football feast. Unfortunately, today¡¯s Millwall, compared with Millwall, who won the Champions League championship in Amsterdam four months ago, has In view of the earth-shaking changes, in the starting list, we can''t see more than five starting players who have appeared on the finals.


    Millwall started 4231.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.


    Double waist: Lampard, Makelele.


    Avant-garde: Grenchar, Nedved, Ronaldinho.


    Forward: Van Nistelrooy.


    Aldrich Hall spent four years building a champion division that was dismembered by European giants in the summer. Now he has to lead a new generation of youth army to start a new journey. Fortunately, there is still a team on his team. Main players like Sgate, Nedved, etc. sit in town.


    Inter Milan''s starter today is 442.


    Goalkeeper: Palyuka.


    Defenders: Zanetti, Bergomi, West, Galante.


    Midfielders: Simone, Coe, Djokov, Baggio.


    Forwards: Ronaldo, Zamorano.


    When Hodgson coached Inter for the first time, he took Inter Milan on the verge of the relegation zone to the seventh position in the league in the first four seasons. In the second season, he won the joint second runner-up and the UEFA Cup runner-up. This is his second coaching of the international. Milan, the previous league victory and a good start for the new season, but even if it is sitting at home today, facing the new generation of Millwall youth, the English coach may not feel relaxed, this is very The strange feeling is that Millwall has so many main players, but you just can¡¯t look down on him and can¡¯t change Millwall¡¯s strength. It is such a young team that defeated the powerful Manchester United in the league. What kind of match will the two teams devote to the fans today? Well, the game starts immediately, Inter Milan kicks off first. "


    After the referee''s whistle, the match began, Inter Milan played fast as soon as he came up, Djokov and Baggio quickly passed through the midfield, and then Baggio directly overcame Lampard through his personal ability. A short pass gave the ball to Ronaldo. The alien dribbled out of the penalty area outside the penalty area and took a free kick. Only a bang was heard. This shot missed the outside of the post.


    "Inter Milan have almost opened the record! Ronaldo''s shot and goal are within a minute. If this goal is scored, it will refresh the record of the fastest goal in the Champions League! The opening is less than 12 seconds!"


    Aldridge''s heart just jumped a little bit. Fortunately, Ronaldo''s shot didn''t score, otherwise the game would be difficult to play.


    Lampard is still young, and in the Premier League, he rarely encounters opponents with particularly delicate skills at his feet. As soon as he came up to face Baggio, plus the factors of playing away, he was easily broken by Baggio. The process was terrible, like the world champion in the boxing ring knocked out a rookie in boxing.


    What is the strongest lineup in Inter Milan? Undoubtedly, offensive chant.


    Alien Ronaldo is on the front line, as well as the horror Ivan Zamorano.


    How strong is Robert Baggio''s individual ability? They are the great gods who played well in the football world cup.


    Djokov, Wenger''s early coach in Monaco.


    Coe is also an unfamiliar opponent to Millwall. Coe was the main force in the Paris Saint-Germain formation in the European Cup semi-finals two years ago.


    Argentina international Simone, defending a tough midfielder.


    Just looking at Inter Milan''s midfield and frontcourt, you will find a very intuitive problem: attacking the strong and defending the weak.


    Especially Baggio and Djokov behind the striker, both of whom are strikers.


    The strongest defender in the midfield is Simone, followed by Coe, and then there are no comparable players with the remaining four forward attributes.


    As for the opponent''s defense line, Zanetti is really a teenager now. Bergomi is close to retiring. This is a weak link in their defense. It is also the tactical requirement for Audridge to make Ronaldinho focus on the left today.


    Glennshire is just a guise on the right. The breakthrough of personal ability is to attract the opponent''s defensive attention. Then as soon as the ball can be divided, it will immediately move to the left.


    Nedved competed with Simone in today''s matchup. The two attacked and defended one by one.


    After fifteen minutes of playing, Millwall first adapted to the game with a steady rhythm.


    After fifteen minutes, Millwall began to increase the offensive, but just attacked and was counterattacked by Inter Milan.


    Simone cut off Nedvide trying to catch Glennshire''s pass. Glenn Pass''s pass was not good. It was a knife mountain ball. Nedvide bravely climbed the knife mountain, but he still failed to touch it. ball.


    Simmons intercepted the ball while passing the ball directly to Djokov in the front. The latter turned the ball and distributed it to Baggio. Baggio continued to try to break through Lampard, Lampard step Stepping back, Baggio faked the true pass, Djokov did not compete with national teammate Makelele, and passed the ball diagonally to Zamorano leaning back against Southgate, who took the ball and knocked back to Baggio plugged in, and Baggio passed the ball to Ronaldo again.


    This series of fast and small passes was dazzled. Ronaldo took the ball and made two consecutive fake moves to deceive Materazzi''s center of gravity, and then faced Bout with a single pole. This alien almost even shot. Action, when the ball rolled to the goal, Bout did not make a save action at all, because the opponent''s shot was not like a shot, the toe poke, the ball entered the net, Mo said that the thigh was pressed, and the calf did not swing. Forceful action.


    "The goal has been scored! Inter Milan led the ball at home and the goal was Ronaldo. This goal was brilliant! Inter Milan sent the ball to Ronaldo''s feet through a series of beautiful small areas. Ability defeated Materazzi and Bout."


    Ronaldo ran to the sidelines with his arms spread out to celebrate, and his teammates gathered around him.


    Aldridge went to the sidelines and beckoned to Schneider. After the opponent came to the front, Aldridge told him how to adjust next.


    Inter Milan is completely abandoning the sidewalk today!


    Just hit the middle, and it has been very effective.


    Say they are 442, more precisely 4222.


    Hodgson estimated that he also studied the recent state of Millwall. Although Lampard''s defense is stronger than Pirlo, but when he can''t occupy a strong advantage in midfield control, the number of trials will increase, especially Millwall''s tactics. More critical when defending is the return of the wing players.


    Aldrich''s adjustment is to allow the two full-backs to shrink the restricted area. As long as there is no pressure on the side defense, Schneider will have to make up the position. What position? It is the empty space after the success of Ronaldo, or the forward area of ??Baggio''s forward interception.


    Meazza¡¯s Inter fans were thrilled, and they returned to the highest stage of this European club after nine years after the Champions League. Inter Milan¡¯s start was very wonderful!


    After Aldridge''s adjustments, Millwall''s midfield defense has been strengthened, but the offense has made him frown.


    Underestimated!


    Before the game, he felt Ronaldinho had the upper hand against Zanetti, but in fact Zanetti was very successful in defending Ronaldinho today.


    In the past three seasons, Zanetti, who played the main role in Inter Milan, has undergone the training and training of the Serie A field. Facing countless talented and offensive players, his defense has not reached a high level, but he has reached a very high level.


    Ronaldinho seems to be on the bar with Zanetti. After two consecutive unsuccessful breakthroughs, he had to pass Zanetti before taking the ball.


    As a result, Ronaldinho''s power plummeted!


    The most critical quality of defensive players is pre-judgment, and offensive players are changes. Once Ronaldinho loses his unpredictable magic power, Zanetti knows that the other party wants to live on his own. Who wins loses.


    Eight minutes after the first goal was dropped, Ronaldinho took the ball inside and was intercepted by Zanetti. The latter drove the ball forward and rushed forward. Millwall''s attack was just hit and was suddenly counterattacked. Lampa De desperately ran to the backcourt, and Nedvide struggled to chase back and harass Zanetti.


    The Argentine teenager decisively scored the ball, Djokov took the ball in front of him and made a long pass. Terror Ivan flew the ball from the back. Ronaldo did not touch the ball, but Baggio, who was killed from behind, was in the ball beautifully. After landing on the ground, the ball rolled over between Materazzi''s legs, and Baggio also rushed past him. Seeing that there was a one-on-one goalkeeper, Schneider flew the shovel from the side, he touched first When the ball arrived, he brought Baggio down, and the latter fell to the ground. The referee whistled and fingered the ball.


    "Inter Milan got a penalty! Although Schneider''s tackle first hit the ball, but four years ago, FIFA banned behind tackles, and strictly enforced in the World Cup just ended, UEFA A new tackle penalty rule has also been introduced. The oblique side tackle is also a dangerous action and is not allowed. UEFA began to implement this rule in the UEFA Champions League this season, and it will be used in the European Cup in 2000."


    The Millwall players explained to the head referee that Schneider got up and went to see Baggio to make sure that the opponent was not injured. He stood on the spot with his arms akimbo.


    It¡¯s not that he didn¡¯t know that the action he just took would be awarded a penalty. It was forced by the situation. When the brain was hot, he would forget everything.


    The referee¡¯s sentence will not change, and Millwall¡¯s players have not been entangled after the explanation. At the very least, Schneider has not been shown a yellow card, and the referee is merciless.


    Aldrich stood on the sidelines and did not protest to the fourth official. This is different from their game with Wimbledon. The penalty penalty just now is not controversial from the new UEFA policy regulations. In other words, If a Millwall player is tackled from the side and back in the opponent''s penalty area, the referee should also award a penalty, not whether the tackle is scored.


    Regulations are regulations, they are equal to each other.


    Although this rule is very fucking.


    Just like FIFA bans tackles behind the back, ordinary people clap their hands when they hear it. This is to protect the players and protect the offensive side''s offense from malicious destruction.


    However, how many top defensive players, especially those with superb tackle skills, are crying?


    Even in the contemporary era, the continuous modification of the penalty standards for tackles has directly led to a phenomenon: ten years later, almost no first-class defensive players with tackle technology can be seen.


    There is no way, the rules are restricted, the defenders basically don''t work hard, what if they are done? How many of the top defensive players in the Argentine national team''s tackle technology can only watch Owen''s reputation as a teenager in pursuit of the wind? If the rules remain unchanged, not to mention 100%, at least Irving can never put the ball into Argentina''s goal so easily.


    Aldridge was not angry with the penalty kick, he didn¡¯t even care who was going to take the penalty kick, he called Ronaldinho to the front, Inter Milan took the penalty kick, as if it had nothing to do with him. Ronaldinho''s performance in time.

 Chapter 354： test

    Ronaldo stood in front of the penalty spot to prepare for a penalty kick, which is the most watched place in the audience.


    But the staff in the live broadcast room had a hard time.


    Aldrich called Ronaldinho to the front. The young coach did not go to see the penalty. This is obviously an interesting scene. But should the live picture always broadcast the penalty?


    The staff had no choice but to let other cameras take pictures of Aldridge''s process and replay it after a while.


    Ronaldinho came to Aldridge, but his mind was still on the side of the penalty kick. He turned his head from time to time to see the situation in his penalty area, but Aldridge reached out and poked his chest, said with dissatisfaction: "Hey, Turn your face, I¡¯m talking to you!"


    Ronaldinho turned his face to face Aldridge and only listened to Aldridge''s implied anger: "What were you doing just now?"


    Ronaldinho looked away and said humbly: "It''s all according to what you said, didn''t you say that I should try to break through there before the game?"


    Aldridge was annoyed and scolded: "Don''t quibble! Do you need me to bring you a headset, what should you do every time you touch the ball, do you want me to tell you? I know what you''re thinking, and have been continuously stolen by opponents. You don¡¯t want to be convinced, so you thought about playing with your opponent, right?"


    Ronaldinho was speechless.


    His defense was pale and weak.


    If he is telling the truth, it''s over!


    A player does not know how to make the right choice at the right time, what is the future?


    Playing football dead, playing football dead, no matter how good the talent has a fart!


    Aldridge said sternly: "The pass should be passed, the pass should be passed, remember, the game is not a one-to-one match with whom you play, your play is for team service, then give me a good kick, don''t let I will change you before the end of the first half!"


    Four years ago, it was impossible for Aldridge to talk to players in this tone, but now he has coaching qualifications, so it is normal to say so.


    Ronaldinho nodded, then Aldridge turned his body, pushed his back, and let him go to the game.


    At this moment, there was a huge cheer from the Maya viewing station.


    Ronaldo scored a good shot, but the ball was not fast, but flew into the dead end.


    "Inter Milan led the defending champion Millwall at 2:0 in the first half of the 26th minute. It seems that after losing many main forces, Millwall''s overall strength has been overestimated. After the game began, they almost No threatening offense was created."


    Hodgson was relieved on the coaching staff, showing a smile.


    With two goals in hand, Inter Milan started pretty well.


    Aldrich gestured to the team, decisively changed the team''s offense and defense posture.


    One goal behind can still maintain the balance of offense and defense, two goals behind, you can only attack with all your strength, lose more and lose less, all are zero points, if the final group stage result is a tie and competition record, that probability is not very high.


    Inter Milan slammed the middle of the road today, and Millwall''s disadvantage in the middle was too obvious, so Aldridge took the opportunity to abandon the attack of the middle and threatened the opponent through a side attack.


    After Millwall kicked in again, Lampard no longer intervened, and the middle dispatched a kick to give the side.


    Zambrotta and Schneider boldly advanced the attack.


    After such changes, Millwall''s offensive threat immediately showed.


    The reason is also very simple, the side attack has a number advantage!


    Ronaldinho once again encountered Zanetti. After the opponent''s continuous defense success, he has already been alert to Ronaldinho''s breakthrough line. As long as Ronaldinho starts, he will follow suit and see the chance to break the ball. under.


    Ronaldinho pulled the ball unexpectedly and withdrew, Zanetti was about to step forward to snatch, Zambrotta from the side flew past him, Ronaldinho picked up the ball gracefully, and the ball flew over Zanetti''s head In the past, Zambrotta received the ball on the bottom line and dribble sideways.


    The full-back went into the bottom line and Inter Milan''s defense was penetrated. The defense contracted to protect the dangerous area in front of the goal. Zambrotta knocked the ball back before Zanetti and Bergomi formed a bag. Ronaldinho just entered the penalty area. Kicked the ball from the position.


    The quality of this shot is extremely high, and I ran to the dead end of the goal.


    It is a pity that Inter Milan goalkeeper Palyuka showed bravery and blocked the ball with one hand.


    There was a cry of exclamation in the stands, and applause followed, applauding Palyuka''s performance.


    Aldridge first expressed a little regret on the sidelines, then applauded the team''s attack.


    Just hit it!


    Inter Milan''s defense is a weak link. When Millwall quickly passed the midfield, the opponent''s attacking player failed to return to the defense. There were only four defenders and two midfielders on the back line. With less play, Millwall can pass the running position to achieve a high success rate. Even if the Coe defensive side is balanced and the number is balanced 2 to 2, Millwall does not fall. Simone dare not act rashly. Knowing that if he left the middle, Nedved will become the killer of a fatal blow.


    Millwall kicked the corner quickly, Zambrotta took the ball from the side and made a bottom pass to deceive Zanetti, and then walked the inside line and started a long shot at a 45-degree angle in front of the penalty area!


    Palyuka made another contribution, although he was caught off guard by the ball, but blocked the ball.


    However, the ball''s landing point was right in front of Fanny. He stopped the ball steadily. West hurriedly fell to the ground to block his shot space. Fanny calmly dunked the ball and moved laterally. Move the ball in one shot with a coherent movement and send it into the goal!


    "Millwall quickly pulled back a goal! The goal was Van Nistelrooy. Palyuka saved Zambrotta''s long shot, but he blocked the ball in the penalty area, and Dutch Fan Ni was very calm. He didn''t shoot the ball for the first time, otherwise the ball was not easy to say. After West was deducted, Fanny sent the ball into the goal and Millwall is now just one goal behind."


    Fanny rushed to the goal and held the ball in his arms and ran back.


    It stands to reason that he scored Millwall¡¯s first UEFA Champions League goal of the season and deserves to celebrate, but Millwall already has a tradition of consensus across the team: goals in a backward state, as long as the score is not a draw , The goal scorer will never celebrate, hurry to restart the game, and strive to equalize the score or overtake the opponent as soon as possible!


    Aldrich nodded appreciatively when he saw the disciples'' collective move back.


    Although Millwall is not as powerful as before, his inner temperament has been significantly improved.


    They are not like the second- and third-tier teams now, as long as they can score a goal for the strong team, no matter how the game wins or loses, they will be excited and rushed to the edge...


    Hodgson has nothing to say about the team''s lost ball. Obviously, this ball has unexpected factors, but on the football field, this kind of accident often occurs when the advantages accumulate.


    Inter Milan''s aggressive attack on the middle of the road has a good effect. They are regarded as preemptive players at home. This was not expected before the game. All media concerned about this game did not guess when they analyzed and predicted before the game.


    Hodgson''s dangerous moves, concentrated advantage to hit the middle, weakened the side attack.


    If this tactic is used in the Serie A field, it is estimated that Inter Milan will die very badly, especially when it comes to the anti-anti-tactics of the Christmas tree''s partial defense or the unilateral flying wing, the middle attack will fall into the quagmire of intensive defense.


    But it has a very good effect on Millwall. Aldridge focuses on creating Nedved''s offensive power. The individual ability of the two sides is also a **** that plays a magical effect. The space of the central defense is not compressed into one. The extreme situation, Inter Milan''s offensive combination of the frontcourt and each ability is super strong, indeed played Millwall in the middle is very embarrassed.


    Especially for Lampard, today he feels like he is acting abnormally and is repeatedly abused by Baggio. Aldridge did not have any dissatisfaction with Lampard on the sidelines.


    This is a normal situation. In the past games, Lampard has never been to the first-class strong team, even the semi-strong team, even in the league or the cup. Even if it is encountered, the opponent may also be in the cup. Did not go all out.


    So he used to look good in the past. Today, he met Baggio, Djokov, Ronaldo and other extremely powerful offensive opponents in series. Under pressure, he did not lose his mind to curb the opponent with rough fouls, but It is a good phenomenon to constantly strive to adapt to the opponent''s rhythm and gradually increase the success rate of frontal defense.


    This is the stage that he must go through. Young people are going to be bullied by masters and then bullied. They are used to bullying and have adapted to it. If they improve themselves, then their strength will increase.


    It was thought that Millwall''s midfield would not be dulled by Socrates'' younger brother La Yi.


    After Millwall pulled back a goal, the two teams entered a rhythm of playing fast break each other.


    The Millwall wing players assisted, and the backcourt''s vacancy became greater. When Inter Milan was turned from defense, their frontcourt players played more freely, which was a very big test for Millwall''s defense. .


    In the 42nd minute of the first half, Glenn Carr broke through on the right. Schneider made a two-on-one match with him after the side came. Glenn Carr drew the ball laterally and came to the penalty area. After that, West stepped forward to **** him, Glennshire saw the opponent move, and immediately passed the ball behind him.


    "Straight! Glennshire passed a great ball and Schneider scored a goal against the goal!"


    Schneider took a decisive shot and saw Palyuka flew out without hitting the ball, but the ball hit the beam and popped out!


    Aldridge sighed, holding his head.


    The invisible deterrent of a goalkeeper is absolutely there.


    When you face a top goalkeeper, subconsciously, you will feel that ordinary shots cannot beat your opponents, so you need to hit the quality of the shots a little higher and pursue the angle more.


    Schneider was probably thinking that way at the time, and the result was a little bit worse, a little bit!


    After the ball popped out and was caught by Coe, he quickly passed the ball straight ahead, Baggio withdrew the ball and turned, and quickly drove the ball forward, Lampard tried to block the front, but Baggio consciously left the ball to the left Soaring, that is Schneider''s position, no one now!


    Baggio used his speed to break through Lampard in the open area and then slowed down when approaching the penalty area. Facing Materazzi''s defense, he easily passed the ball diagonally behind the opponent. Ronaldo inserted the ball near the bottom line. Then, pulling the ball back, facing Southgate with his hands on his back to prevent him from moving further, Ronaldo made a scissor foot fake and then swayed the angle at that instant, then picked the ball lightly and passed.


    Makelele returned to the restricted area to mark Zamorano, who wanted to cry without tears. Zamorano was about 5 centimeters taller than him. He jumped hard to fight for the header. Seeing the ball passing over the top of his head, he was sure. , Zamorano should not be able to touch the ball.


    However, just behind Zamorano, the Djokov inserted was out in place, and a header shot sent the ball into the gate.


    Makelele looked at the ball in the eyeball when he landed, and then turned around to take a look at Zambrotta, who had contracted slowly.


    "Inter Milan once again expanded their lead. Djokov scored the goal with a score of 3:1. Today Inter Milan played a very beautiful cooperation on the offensive end. This is the Inter Milan we are looking forward to. Their offense is gorgeous. Unbreakable!"


    Aldridge has no complaints about this goal. He cannot accuse Zambrotta of failing to stop Djokov¡¯s header. The offense and defense is a system. When Millwall dared to insert an assist, he was counterattacked. The odds of losing the ball are particularly high. If Schneider scored just now, the situation is completely different.


    Sometimes it depends on the ability to seize the opportunity, like Juventus last season, if you can grasp the counterattack exposed by Millwall during the final attack, then it is not the turn of Millwall to buzz them out at the last minute.

 Chapter 355： Stress and accelerated growth

    At the end of the first half, the score was never rewritten and Inter Milan led by two goals.


    Aldridge turned indifferently and walked into the player aisle. In the locker room, he waited for the players to come back and opened his palms and asked softly: "Does anyone think Inter Milan is unbeatable?"


    The players looked at each other, and they faced too much offensive pressure today. There were many factors for losing three goals in the first half. The most intuitive is the decline in the strength of both offense and defense. Any excuse is pale.


    Larson is more threatening than Glenchard on the field. Pirlo''s ability to control the situation on the field can also allow Millwall to find a perfect balance in the offensive and defensive rhythm, rather than running back and forth hurriedly.


    No one answered, Aldridge said lightly: "You need this kind of match, really need it. I''m thankful that our opponent is Inter Milan today. I really don''t hide it. I hope that when the Champions League group draw is drawn, we can draw us In a dead team, what do the more powerful enemies represent? Is it difficult for the team to qualify? No, I don¡¯t care. I only care about your growth and improvement at this stage. Only by fighting with more powerful teams can you accelerate your team¡¯s strength. growth of."


    The current stage of the team is exercise improvement and rapid growth, rather than a hard indicator to bear the pressure of performance, especially in the Champions League. This is very different from the league. The league compares endurance and stability. Champions Cup stage masters gather, Mill Wall is about to posture, forget the identity of the defending champion, and the experience gained from the game. Young people grow up to withstand the pressure, which is far more important than the game.


    "As long as you don''t show any cowardice in your heart, you can play better in the game. We can play better. The score in the first half is not a true manifestation of the strength of the two teams. We have enough time to pull the score back in the second half, but this requires you Come up with a more vigorous fighting spirit and a higher degree of engagement in the game!"


    Aldridge looked around each player, the sweat on their faces kept dropping to the ground, but everyone stared at him, especially Lampard, who knew that Pirlo¡¯s injury was his best chance during this period Although he knew he could not challenge the main position, but he could play more games, especially when playing against a strong team at the level of Inter Milan.


    The locker room during the intermission today was relatively calm. The players listened carefully to Aldridge''s tactical adjustments and noted down his assigned tasks.


    After the intermission, the players of the two teams returned to the field, and Inter Milan players now feel very relaxed.


    Being able to score three goals for the defending champion in the first half gave them a strong confidence.


    Juventus only scored Millwall two goals in 180 minutes, and one of them was Oolong.


    Real Madrid scored only 3 goals for Millwall in 120 minutes.


    Inter Milan only took 45 minutes to do it.


    Aldrich, who has been commanding the team for more than four years on the sidelines, has a lot of experience. He is used to observing the changes in the opponent''s first and second half. When he sees that Inter Milan players can talk and laugh, his mouth slightly raised. , With a sneer: Do you really think that Millwall made you abuse food today?


    At the beginning of the second half, Millwall kicked in, Nedvide passed the ball back to Lampard, Inter Milan''s formation began to press forward, Lampard divided the ball to Makelele, who then returned the ball It was handed over to Zambrotta plugged from the left.


    The Italian drove the ball on the left and made no progress.


    When he took the ball to the dangerous area, in front of Zanetti, Zambrotta crossed, Ronaldinho took the ball, Zambrotta continued to insert, Zanetti immediately turned back to chase Zambrotta to prevent the opponent Ronaldinho''s pass in the penalty area.


    But Ronaldinho took the ball but went inside and moved towards the middle.


    This time Inter Milan''s defense line is very unsuitable, Coe stepped forward to block, Ronaldinho stopped and turned away from the opponent, Simone had to stop Ronaldinho''s forward, otherwise the opponent directly rushed the ball into the penalty area, then It''s dangerous.


    But when Simone moved, Ronaldinho immediately plugged the penalty area.


    Fanny attracted West''s defensive attention. Nedvide used his body to block Belgomi. When Ronaldinho''s ball came over, Nedved just blocked Belgomi on the other side of the body. Following the trajectory of the ball, Nedved led the ball forward, directly breaking through the entire defense of Inter Milan, single-handed!


    In the face of Palyuka, Nedved no matter whether it is three, seventy-one, a direct shot!


    As if a meteor had crossed in front of him, Palyuka''s forehead oozed out with cold sweat, and his heart was hairy. He didn''t respond. The ball flew past his head and went straight into the goal.


    "Nedved''s close shot drove the ball into the goal of Inter Milan. Just less than a minute after the opening of the second half, Millwall returned another goal and now the score is 3:2. Inter Milan''s lead is again Zoom out!"


    Nedved''s action after scoring is exactly the same as that of Fannie before, running the goal to hug the ball and immediately running towards the middle circle, and also beckoned to let his teammates hurry back.


    Hodgson''s face is a little unsightly, although Inter Milan has a somewhat relaxed attitude, but actually the bigger factor is Millwall''s momentum and tactical changes in the second half.


    Ronaldinho became a variable, instead of holding the wing, he walked from the midfield to the midfield, and Nedved instantly entered the penalty area. Such a change, Inter Milan failed to keep up. , It is not surprising that they were penetrated by the defense line.


    Hodgson is curious what role Ronaldinho is.


    It is also easy to understand that until the world fully understands Ronaldinho, no one knows where his limits are and what he can do on the court.


    When he plays well on the wing, people think he is a wing player, a wing forward and a winger.


    When he appeared excellent in the front waist position, people thought he could hit the front waist again.


    When his abilities are more and more displayed, people will realize that Ronaldinho is omnipotent in the frontcourt!


    Organizing, cascading, breaking through, assisting, breaking the door, he can do everything.


    But this is Ronaldinho''s peak period, not Ronaldinho now. Of course, the use of Ronaldinho by Aldridge certainly did not give him a lot of freedom at the beginning, so Ronaldinho is likely to play a mess in the game.


    Need to fix his role and position first, change little by little, and stimulate his ability little by little, just like leveling, accumulating enough experience in one stage, then upgrade to the next level.


    He is very happy that Ronaldinho will occasionally show his personal emotions in the game, just fighting with Zanetti at the beginning, but in such a high-level game, the motivation and desire to win that he inspired are also stronger and concentrated. Attention, every time you touch the ball to improve your play as much as possible, better, better, and better... It is under such continuous self-incentive that his play contributes more intuitively to the team.


    Inter Milan were narrowed down and they organized an attack immediately after kick-off. With their super capable offensive combination, they did not believe that Millwall could stop their attack.


    Ronaldo once again tried to break through Materazzi. He succeeded. The problems of Materazzi and Lampard are similar. Even if they have played a lot in the past, but there are not many opportunities to meet high-level opponents. Ronaldo, who is recognized as the best striker in the world, Materazzi was almost shattered.


    However, after Ronaldo succeeded, Schneider shot the ball and cut him off.


    In the second half, Millwall''s two full-backs had to increase their defense in the penalty area, and they could not be continuously penetrated by the opponent.


    Schneider returned the goalkeeper Bout after a successful pass and returned the goalkeeper in the penalty area, and it was still the goalkeeper''s life when the opponent had an offensive player by his side!


    But Bout picked up the ball unhurriedly and then distributed it to Schneider who passed the ball and ran out of position.


    The time they play together is not short. Since Bout became the main goalkeeper, the cooperation he needs to practice in training is the same as the team''s standard. The goalkeeper is the point of attack and the point of response. Although it is impossible to say that you can attack and retreat, but Millwall''s goalkeeper is not as simple as keeping the goal.


    This is also the reason why Aldridge has been reluctant to go to the transfer market and hit a better goalkeeper. Mo said that the world-class goalkeeper has no price and no market. Even if the club agrees, the players are not necessarily willing to come. Even if the players are willing to come, Derich''s request for the goalkeeper, the other party has not necessarily adapted.


    With Bout, Aldridge doesn¡¯t want to change the position of the goalkeeper any more. Originally, this position needs stability. Although Bout¡¯s ability is not super first-class, he can be ranked third in the German national team. The strength is obvious to all. Coupled with his adaptation to Millwall''s tactical system, the requirements for Aldridge, he can do his best to be within his ability, then Aldridge does not need to consider the change of goalkeeper selection.


    Schneider dunked the ball on the wing and handed it back to Nedved near the middle circle.


    Nedvide made a non-stop shot and rushed to the ball before Simone harassed him.


    The Danish Golden Wings jumped directly after touching the ball. Nedved and Ronaldinho helped him attract two defensive midfielders. Now he is facing only the last defender in front of Inter Milan. line.


    He walked inside is an oblique route, but in front of West, he suddenly stopped and changed direction, the super explosive power and speed advantage are most vividly reflected at this moment.


    It feels like he is like a sharp knife with a sharp edge, the knife flashes, seeing the blood seal!


    After changing the ball into the penalty area, Wester turned slightly slower. He hurriedly stretched his foot to block. Glenchar was caught by the opponent''s foot and fell to the ground. The referee made a penalty kick for the first time. !


    "Millwall scored a penalty! Glenchard broke into the penalty area and was knocked down by West. This penalty was not controversial. Glenchard was too fast, such a very fast winger Interception in front of the Inter Milan defender line is not enough! If you let Glencharr face the defender line directly, he can break through the defense line with speed. But if Inter Milan want to strengthen the defense, it is necessary to sacrifice the offense, if Millwall this point The ball is scored and they will enter a dilemma."


    When Glenn Charles got up from the ground, his teammates rushed over and hugged him, thanking him for the penalty he created.


    Nedved stood in front of the penalty spot and faced Palyuka. After the referee signaled that he could make a free throw, he calmly approached, followed by a volley, the ball was heavy, and Palyuka flew On the right, but he didn''t regret it until he threw it out.


    Nedved is playing in the middle.


    Paljuka made a mistake and turned his head to watch the ball fly into the gate.


    "Nedved scored a penalty and scored twice. He helped Millwall to equalize the score in just 8 minutes of the second half! 3:3, 3:3, this is a wonderful match, the two teams There are excellent personal performances of outstanding stars, and there are more than half an hour left in the game. Who will know the result?"

 Chapter 356： Half an hour

    When Nedv¨§d scored an equalized goal, he rushed to the side of the court, with a look of ambition, and his right hand patted the team logo on his jersey.


    The crazy lion fans who came to cheer on the road cheered, and there was a fan group waving a huge Nedved portrait banner.


    Aldridge also closed his eyes and clenched his fists and waved, the score equalized, and Millwall''s morale would rise a step further.


    In today''s game, Millwall and Inter Milan can hardly say that there is any fierce competition on the tactical level, because the game situation is clear at a glance, Inter Milan hits the middle, Millwall plays the wing, whoever has the advantage of counterattack is big, but if the counterattack is If you can''t make it and turn your head, your goal will be facing the opponent''s soldiers.


    The key is the star''s personal play. Inter Milan''s offensive quartet is infinitely powerful, and Millwall''s offensive quartet is also in full swing.


    Admittedly, this is not the game that Aldridge wants to see the most, but it is the reality, helpless.


    The defense is tempered. In the face of Ronaldo, Baggio and other offensive super first-class opponents, Millwall will either weaken the offensive defense or boldly fight with the opponent to see who gets more.


    If you are defensive, it doesn''t make much sense for defensive training, because it is more difficult to defend more and less.


    It doesn''t matter if you drop the ball. Any top line of defense comes from constantly dropping the ball to losing the ball to making it very difficult for the opponent to score.


    In the second half, Millwall clearly defended much better than in the first half.


    Defensive players were abused a lot in the first half, their experiences were abused, and their experiences were abused. Unlike the first match in the first half, they felt very strange to their opponents, even if they kept watching the opponent¡¯s video before the game to analyze, but really In the game, the truth and the theoretical analysis are very different.


    Less than ten minutes into two goals, Millwall''s morale soared, the players looked like hungry beasts, full of greed for the goal.


    After the relaunch of Inter Milan, they pounced more fiercely, trying to use this momentum to destroy Inter Milan.


    Aldridge didn''t make any adjustments. If he lets the players take it now, it is likely that they will convey the wrong instructions to the players. The players may think that the boss wants a draw.


    As long as players like Schneider, Makelele, etc. can keep their heads clear, then the problem will not be too big.


    Aldridge comforted himself, but in the next second, Millwall had a dangerous situation in front of him, Glenn Carr was dribbled out of the bounds by Galante on the wing, the referee considered it a reasonable collision, and Inter Milan immediately In a counterattack, Galante handed the ball to Baggio. The latter''s exquisite straight plug directly penetrated Millwall''s defense. Ronaldo would see a single-pole ball at first sight. Fortunately, Bout abandoned the goal in time to the penalty spot. The ball is in your arms.


    Bute hugged the ball and began to delay the time, because Glenn Charles has not entered the field.


    He stood up and just ran into the field and went out again. He walked in front of Aldridge and unexpectedly frustrated at Aldridge: "Boss, I feel some pain in my leg muscles. I''m afraid I can''t hold on to the game. "


    Players feel bad for themselves, this is a very obvious sign of injury.


    Aldridge didn¡¯t blame him, but instead admired his candid heart. He didn¡¯t carry his teeth and insisted on the game. Once the technical player was injured, although the spirit of the game was commendable, the consequences are very serious. Once the injury is exacerbated, it will directly Affect the future career, because the technical players'' body is weaker than the strong players.


    This is difficult to change with training. Although intensive physical training can make technical players stronger, there is a limit. For example, excessive weight gain will reduce their technical movement frequency, so there are many smart players. The 20-year-old figure and the 30-year-old figure have barely changed. It is not that they do not want to become stronger, but that they must maintain the status quo so that they can maintain the best level of technical action.


    Aldridge patted his shoulder, praised his performance today, and then let the team doctor take over, he turned to let Van der Med warm up.


    Heart is breaking.


    Less than a month after the start of the new season, Millwall had another name on the injury list, but looking at Glenchart¡¯s situation, the injury should not be serious. Of course, this is Aldridge¡¯s optimistic idea.


    Jenson gave Van der Mede a task on the field, Klinsmann learned from the sidelines, and Van der Mede nodded frequently to understand.


    After Van der Mead played, Millwall''s offensive routine changed again.


    Turning from defense to attack is faster, because VanderMead is placed in the position of the full-back, and he invests more in defense. When attacking, he mostly focuses on receiving the pass. The ball must fly faster than the person, and he passes The accuracy, the technical foundation laid in Ajax in the past, and the simple and supreme team concept have made him able to satisfy Aldridge after strengthening his physical confrontation.


    Just five minutes after he played, Inter Milan''s offensive soared, but this period was a highlight moment for Bout''s brave play.


    In addition to the attack just to avoid being single-handed by Ronaldo, he saved the world wave that Baggio and Djokov would almost enter with one foot, and also resolved Zamorano''s penalty in the penalty area.


    After slowing down the attack, Millwall again launched a sharp attack.


    Ronaldinho took the ball in the midfield and backcourt, an oblique long pass to find another winged van der Mede, this long pass transfer is amazing, overlooking from the height, Inter Milan is turned from attack to defense, the front court players retreat to go to siege Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho''s transfer ball shows his vision of the overall situation.


    Van der Meide took the ball and then knocked the Lampard in the middle. The latter passed the left side diagonally and the ball returned to Ronaldinho''s feet, but his position has moved from the midfield and backcourt to the frontcourt, avoiding being hit back and forth. Unfavorable situation.


    Ronaldinho walked inside again. This time, Zanetti consciously narrowed the penalty area to prevent the opponent from infiltrating the ball and threatening the goal, but Ronaldinho turned to go outside and went down.


    He finally passed Zanetti.


    After the end, Ronaldinho improvised a cross-scissors foot cross.


    Zanetti failed to block the pass because he was confused by Ronaldinho''s scissors feet, thinking that the other party would use his left foot, and Ronaldinho''s left foot was supported, and his right foot crossed behind the left foot. The dazzling pass ball flew out, Zane Tee lifted his leg significantly slower.


    Fanny nodded a header and threatened the goal.


    Paljuka reached out to block, but the ball hit the goal post and rebounded.


    Follow-up Nedved headed the ball in Bergormi''s frightened glance and pushed the ball towards the other side of the goal.


    West rushed to the goal, but on the goal line he wanted to clear the goal but couldn''t stop the car. He even led the ball into the goal.


    Meazza, instantly silent!


    "Hat trick, hat trick! Nedved scored the third goal, he staged a hat trick, and helped Millwall overtake Inter Milan 4:3! Millwall performed significantly better in the second half, they passed the midfield After the adjustment, the offense played quickly and decisively. The performance of the key players was unforgettable. Ronaldinho''s extraordinary breakthrough and crosses were extremely gorgeous. Will he be the next Ronaldo? Will it?"


    Nedved rushed to the sidelines, but was thrown to the ground by his teammates. Even the players on the bench couldn''t help but rushed out. They played a stack of Rohan over there.


    1:3 behind half, half in the second half, Millwall overtake 4:3!


    Now that this game is up, it''s completely crazy!


    Inter Milan went from leading to being reversed, suddenly dizzy and unable to find North!


    Even though they are surviving in the Serie A field where masters gather, but they have been away from the Champions League for too long, they don¡¯t know enough about the top teams in other leagues, and the early lead has given them false blind confidence, and the current blows let them Unprepared.


    Hodgson''s expression was pale, and Aldridge''s chin was calm.


    Before the game is over, anything can happen.


    He doesn''t want the team to be out of balance at this time.


    His non-celebration was to remind the players that when Nedved stood up and greeted the visitors fans in the stands, Aldridge just nodded and applauded Nedved''s performance.


    This is what he deserves.


    In the situation of constantly inspiring Nedved''s offensive ability, Aldridge has spent at least two seasons, plus Nedved''s playing year, it is time to get the results.


    Therefore, he was not surprised that Nedved could perform a hat trick.


    Inter Milan started to counterattack and put into the attack more aggressively. The scene looked thrilling, but the potential risks were also huge.


    Three minutes later, Baggio wanted to break Lampard after his physical fitness fell, but Lampard broke off the ball. The latter directly passed the ball to Schneider on the side, and the latter rushed forward with the ball all the way.


    Encountered by Coe in the middle, Schneider and Van der Meide quickly made a two-by-one, and then continued to move forward, Van der Meide and him rushed forward together, encountered Galante, Van der Mede bottomed, Schneider passed After Van der Mede took the ball and swept the ball in front of him, West turned around and dared not stretch his feet, fearing that he would throw his own oolong and the speed of the ball was too fast.


    In the area directly in front of the center of the goal, Van Nistelrooy grabbed in place in front of Bergomi and pushed it with his foot arch, the ball went straight into the net nest!


    Palyuka''s angry teammates roared angrily.


    "Vanister Ruij scored twice, he scored Millwall''s fifth goal of the game, Millwall trailed by two goals at halftime, and now there are 15 minutes left in the game, but the score became Mill. Wall 5:3 two goals ahead! This is at Meazza, at home at Inter Milan. The guest defending champion made the Serie A giants laugh at halftime, and now they not only can''t laugh, they even want to cry. On the stands Millwall fans are celebrating, and they have reason to do so. Inter Milan fans are mostly blank, and many people shook their heads dullly, unbelievable for the team¡¯s second half performance. Perhaps, not Inter Milan. The second half performed poorly, but Millwall performed too well in the second half."


    Moratti watched the ball in the box, and every time Inter Milan scored a goal in the first half, he got up and cheered once, the excitement was not inferior to Arthur''s celebration performance at the Lion''s Cave Stadium.


    But now, Moratti is suffocating in the box, and his expression looks like the end of the world is generally depressed.


    He really can''t figure out what Inter Milan lacks!


    Yeah, what''s missing?


    There are many celebrities in the football circle who will be troubled by many problems. Keegan does not understand the reason for the defensive sparseness of the team. Moratti does not understand why Inter Milan has invested heavily in the past years. There is no team whose performance is not as good as Inter Milan. outstanding.


    Some people can find the answer to the trouble or the comfort of luck. For example, England national team coach Hoddle, he blamed everything on witchcraft...


    Aldridge started to make substitutions on the sidelines, Ronaldinho could not run, and he had no signs of rushing forward in the attack just now.


    He called back Gattuso who was warming up on the sidelines and asked him to put on his jersey and prepare to play.


    Hodgson also did not make a substitution, and his big hand directly swung the team into a lifeless attack.

 Chapter 357： Face is gone

    In the final period of the game, Millwall couldn''t attack. It wasn''t that the ball couldn''t be passed, but the player couldn''t maintain a fast-paced high-speed run and plugged in the ball.


    The two full-backs were exhausted and panted. After being led by Inter Milan 2:0, Zambrotta and Schneider frequently plugged in. The running intensity of the straight up and down is really amazing. Now the game comes to the end, Aldridge Replacing Ronaldinho with Gattuso is a signal to strengthen the defense.


    Aldridge sat back to drink a sip of water and watched the game with a long face.


    Inter Milan suffered four consecutive blows in half an hour, and the players were crazy.


    However, they still have a very poor effect in the middle. With Gattuso joining the middle defense and Nedved''s active retreat, Millwall is now not worried about the other party''s attack from the middle. In the dense defense area, the international Milan''s superstar wants to make a fuss, it is indeed very difficult.


    Coe also inserted assists and participated in the coordinated attack of the middle road, but in this way, there were more people in the middle road, there was no room to pass the cut, Inter Milan''s turnovers were frequent, and Baggio was cut off by Marklele. The latter passed the ball diagonally to the unmarked van der Meade on the right.


    After catching the ball, the Dutch went straight to find his compatriot. Fanny succeeded in the offside, but failed to stop the ball on the line of the penalty area. The ball landed on his instep and was far away from him. Palyuca Attack the ball and receive it in his arms.


    Inter Milan''s two full-backs also stepped forward at this time. Zanetti drove the ball on the wing and worked with Djokov to break through Nedved''s defense. Zanetti continued along the side With the ball on the road, Zambrotta''s **** at a 45-degree angle is a cross.


    Materazzi made a header and Inter Milan grabbed a drop from the outside. Coe shot a long shot and was blocked by Bout. Ronaldo grabbed a shot before Southgate. Unfortunately, the angle was not good enough. With standard movements to save, the ball was blocked by his upper arm again.


    In a mess, Baggio suddenly shot out, almost pushing the ball into Millwall''s door with his knee.


    "The ball has scored again! Inter Milan pulled one back. Baggio''s goal gave Inter Milan a ray of life. There were 4 minutes left in the game and the score was 4:5. Inter Milan is now only one goal behind Millwall! "


    Meazza¡¯s Inter fans seemed to be resurrected in an instant of blood, struggling to roar in the stands, encouraging the team to make persistent efforts, score goals, score goals, and **** a few more!


    This is a crazy game.


    Aldridge was unimpressed by the team''s goal loss.


    When Millwall restarted the kick, Nedvide returned the ball and did not run forward. Millwall delayed the time by falling feet. They could not run, the score was leading, and the game was about to end. The tactics of delaying time do not feel shameful to use. Others can accuse Millwall of delaying time. They can be interpreted as controlling the rhythm and patiently looking for opportunities.


    In the case of Inter Milan''s pressure on the court, Millwall fell back in the backcourt for a minute after the kick-off, and finally Schneider opened the ball to the frontcourt with a long pass in the backcourt.


    Fanny really got the ball, but he wanted to take the ball and turned around but was directly destroyed by West with a big foot and opened the sideline.


    At this moment, the head referee signaled a substitution on the sidelines.


    Millwall used up the last substitution, with a clear intention and delaying time.


    Ferdinand came on to replace Van Nistelrooy who scored twice today.


    Inter players urged Fanny to get off the court quickly, the referee also ran over to let Fanny go quickly, Fanny first shook hands with the referee friendly, and then made a trot action, but the pace was very small, etc. When he walked to the sidelines to complete the substitution with Ferdinand, it took at least another thirty seconds.


    Inter Milan''s anger does not hit one place, the most hateful thing is, the ball is still Millwall.


    Nedved held the ball and looked away, waiting for the team member to come up, and it took seven or eight seconds to throw the ball to VanderMead.


    As soon as Van der Mede took the ball, there were many Inter Milan players rushing up and looting, and Van der Mede passed the ball back to Nedved.


    Inter Milan''s players rushed to Nedved again, but the Czechs suddenly broke through.


    His choice made his opponent unexpected.


    He broke through the opponent''s entire line of defense directly at the sideline!


    However, if you take the ball inwards towards the goal, it will definitely be blocked halfway, because he is farther from the goal.


    Nedved took the ball all the way to the corner, and then took the ball back to the Inter Milan player. No matter how they grabbed the ball, Simone was furious and pushed directly from behind to Ned. Vader, the referee whistled for a foul, and Millwall continued to keep the ball.


    "Two minutes have passed since the injury stoppage time. Millwall hardly allowed Inter Milan to get the ball in the past three minutes. If Inter Milan can''t even get the ball, how can they even the score?"


    In the frontcourt, Millwall had two people in front of him, a van der Mede who kicked off, and a Nedved who was ready to catch the ball.


    Baggio ran to Nedved, Van der Med did not kick the ball, reached out to the referee to signal: the opponent''s back distance is not enough!


    The referee warned Baggio, and Baggio complained to the referee that Millwall deliberately delayed the time.


    The referee disregarded it, and Baggio had no choice but to go far.


    Nedvide really took the ball to the corner flag after receiving the ball, and Inter Milan fans of Meazza began to make a huge boo.


    The defending champion has lost his face in order to win!


    Aldridge doesn''t mind very much. This is just a very common strategy on the football field. When the game is over, no one will accuse Millwall of doing this wrong. At most, it looks a bit ugly now.


    What''s more, this is to kill the opponent''s fighting spirit, so that the opponent''s formation must be withdrawn, otherwise the front line will be extended, even if the ball is received, the requirements for passing accuracy are too high.


    Nedved protected the ball again, and Simone and Galant broke the ball from under his feet this time, then opened a big foot to the frontcourt.


    Lampard, who was stuck in the header, cleared the header, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, and Inter Milan lost face to the reversed ending.


    "The wonderful match ended, the two teams each played a wonderful half. The winner of the first half was Inter Milan. Millwall scored four goals in 30 minutes and directly grabbed the victory from Inter Milan. After coming back, the team''s qualifying situation is not unpredictable. Inter Milan and Millwall are popular in the qualifying, but Inter Milan, who lost in the first game, want to get a promotion. I am afraid that they will kill the other two opponents in the same group. They can no longer afford to lose. If they lose another goal, Inter Milan can only get 12 points in theory, and there is a duel with Millwall. The good factor is that the other two opponents in the same group are not strong. It¡¯s too strong. Congratulations to Millwall¡¯s victory. We originally thought that the defending champion¡¯s competitiveness fell sharply, but we didn¡¯t expect them to fight back with 5 goals on the road. They can take away the victory at Meazza. Champions Cup champions are popular."


    Millwall players smiled at the end of the game, and many young people were very excited about today¡¯s victory, because they played against Inter Milan, or more precisely because the opponent¡¯s lineup had a super like Ronaldo Baggio Star.


    Aldridge got up and shook hands with Hodgson, and the two did not communicate.


    He couldn''t see the joy in his expression.


    There were 9 goals in the game, and there were a lot of wonderful shots. Audiences would appreciate this game as a classic match-up.


    But Aldridge was not happy.


    He is more concerned that the team lost 4 goals, there are many factors that can score 5 goals, the most important thing is that Millwall is not the game leader, they are passively based on Inter Milan''s attitude of attacking the strong and defending the weak Adjusting the countermeasures, behind the game, Millwall failed to rule the game, but relied on the player''s personal ability and fighting spirit to change the game trend.


    Entering the locker room after the game, Aldridge calmly said to all players: "Today''s victory is very valuable, I am very happy that you have shown the desire to win, but the championship has just begun, we have a good start, tens of millions Can''t be complacent."


    He didn''t put too much emphasis on it, it was unnecessary, as long as the players kept their heads clear.


    As for the problem of losing four balls, he will not mention it again until he returns to London in training.


    When attending the post-match press conference, Audridge faced Giancarlo''s sharp questions and remained silent for half a minute.


    "Although Millwall scored five goals in this game, he lost four goals in the back line. This number almost equaled the total number of goals conceded in the six games of your group match last season. Millwall''s Is the reason for the substantial decline in the back defense quality?


    After being silent, Aldridge replied calmly: "Our back defense is not a big problem, it is actually caused by the game situation. After 2:0, we have to attack. The more we attack, the greater the pressure on the back defense. At 3:1, I also realized that since I couldn''t keep it, then it depends on who gets more."


    "Inter Milan have conceded four goals in 30 minutes in the second half. Why?"


    "Football is not a science. It is difficult for you to use reasoning to find all the reasons, morale, mentality, performance at critical moments, etc. in a certain goal or goal drop. I cannot describe it in words, but in general In the second half, Millwall was more adapted to the game and played better. We entered the game at the beginning of the first half a bit slow, and our opponents quickly scored 2 goals. We did not get rid of the pressure until the second half. We played away, Unfavorable factors such as backward scores have played a top level."


    Aldridge doesn''t think what this victory represents, especially that Millwall is not far from last season''s level.


    If it was the Millwall last season, even as a guest, it would not give the opponent so many opportunities to attack. The final result of the game is the play of the goalkeeper, not a more stable accumulation of dominant rule Beat the opponent in the game.


    After finishing the press conference, Aldridge was ready to return to London, but he received an invitation from Moratti.


    Let the team go to the airport and return to London. Aldridge and Moratti have a supper in an upscale restaurant in Milan.


    The restaurant is close to closing, and there are not many people, but there are still paparazzi who follow up and follow the scene of Moratti and Aldridge sitting opposite the restaurant.


    In the past, the two always talked on the phone, and they met once in the summer. Today, they sit together again, which is a small gathering between friends.


    Moratti consulted with Audridge to run the club, especially the team management experience.


    He hopes to learn from Aldridge and help him quickly turn Inter Milan into a Serie A giant.


    He is not short of money, but also puts his effort into it, so there are not many chats between the two above.


    Aldridge unreservedly explained his experience to him, with particular emphasis on the importance of stable lineup, team stability, and stable technical and tactical play.


    From the player to the head coach, as well as the team''s technical and tactics, if there are frequent changes in these three, then the team will naturally have an impact.


    In fact, to put it bluntly is to make Moratti a little patient, and at the same time give the coach more trust and let the coach build the team according to his own ideas.


    But this is still very difficult in Serie A. The head coach here is the head coach. Unlike the Premier League, the head coach has managerial attributes and can participate in transfers. Basically, Serie A coaches, even big-name coaches, will also have problems in player transfers. Shanghai and the club were very unhappy.


    Regardless of whether Moratti listened or not, the news headline of Milan City the following day was: Moratti will meet the Hall to discuss the transfer of Nedved and Zambrotta.

 Chapter 358： Behind the scenes

    After finishing the first match day of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Aldridge''s days were in order. He was suspended in the domestic field in England, so he spent more time on training and game preparation. Klinsmann was also suspended. , But even if not, the power of on-the-spot command will still fall on Jenson.


    Fighting with Aldridge for more than four years, and the players in the team are familiar with Jenson. At work, everyone agrees with Jensen, so Jensen directs the game, and the players are very obedient.


    Before the start of the second match day of the Champions League, Millwall played five games in the domestic arena, which happened to be the suspension of Aldridge. The League Cup dished up easily and the opponents in the four leagues were: home vs. Liverpool .


    Away vs Nottingham Forest.


    Home vs Southampton.


    Away vs Blackburn.


    In these four league games, Millwall only won the home game against Southampton. The other three games all suffered a draw. The battle with Liverpool was that Southgate scored the header before the game and equalized the opponent. The other two On the road, because of the opponent''s inadequate strength, they put on dead tactics and were snipered.


    At the beginning of the new season, Millwall has three wins and five draws in eight league games and has 14 points.


    Manchester United have 4 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses with the same points as Millwall.


    Followed by Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool, the same record, 3 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss.


    At the beginning of the new season, the top five teams in the Premier League last season still occupy the position of the first group in the standings, but there are no particularly outstanding teams. The results of each round of the league can make the top rankings of the standings happen. Big change.


    Millwall topped the standings, but was still picky, especially the Fleet Street reporter, who believed that if Millwall used Ronaldinho more in the league, Millwall¡¯s draws would become victory.


    Aldridge was banned from attending the press conference, and Jenson was forced into scalp numbness by reporters.


    Regarding the use of Ronaldinho, there is also controversy within the Millwall coaching staff. Jenson also tends to let Ronaldinho play in the league, but Aldridge firmly denies.


    Perhaps because of Ronaldinho''s excellence, Audridge will use him more cautiously, even if Jenson cites the example of Irving. Last season, Irving almost played in the league last season. The 18-year-old chasing boy performed amazingly. It is famous all over the world.


    Aldrich does not debate with the other party, it does not make sense, time will give the answer. At the beginning of the career of young players, the density and intensity of the game should be appropriate, otherwise the future impact will be invisible to the naked eye.


    In early October, Aldridge returned to the side of the court to command the team. At Wembley, nearly 70,000 mad lions rushed into the court to welcome the return of the young commander after leaving the chair briefly.


    The flag flying on the stands is a hand-painted full-length portrait of Aldridge, which is particularly eye-catching.


    Aldridge applauded with his hands above his head as he entered the field, thanking the fans for their enthusiasm.


    The opponent they ushered in today is the Russian champion team Spartan Moscow, the strength difference between the two teams is more obvious, but for the sake of insurance, Aldridge still sent the strongest lineup.


    Glenn Carre¡¯s injury against Inter Milan was not serious. He had already trained with the team, but he was not able to enter the game. Aldridge let Van der Meide start. The formation is still 442. Practicing this tactical formation in the past month, Millwall The playing is getting better and better, the offense and defense have become more balanced, and the understanding between the players has also improved significantly.


    In the 90 minutes of the game, Millwall had a clear advantage. With Fanny, Nedved and Lampard scoring goals, Wembley sent three goals away from Moscow Sparta.


    The two-game winning streak of Millwall in the Champions League in the new season is in good shape.


    After the game, Aldridge simply gave an interview and disbanded the team to go home and rest.


    He feels that the team is on the right track. Everything but the thickness of the lineup due to injuries is starting to work well.


    The doorbell rang when I was just preparing for dinner while watching TV.


    Aldridge went to open the door and found that it was Andrew. The other person came into the door and came to the kitchen to get the cutlery. Then he pulled half of Aldridge''s dinner to himself and opened a bottle of red wine from the constant temperature cabinet. .


    "You lose weight?"


    Aldridge looked at the little food left on his plate and asked with a frown.


    Anyway, at this point, he must not be able to eat enough, but it is better to wonder when Andrew''s meal volume has dropped?


    Andrew chuckled and said: "I called before I came to let the nearby restaurant deliver the meal. It''s estimated that it''s coming. Eat it first. It won''t let you go into the kitchen again."


    Aldrich¡¯s life has always been regular and planned. Like cooking, he has time to plan. Now that he¡¯s done cooking, letting him go into the kitchen to work hard will make him feel against him. Andrew knows him, so he has arrangements .


    The two began to eat dinner, and Andrew picked up the remote control to turn down the TV volume.


    "I want to hear the news."


    "The thing you asked me to do, you have a look."


    Andrew whispered with a smile on his face.


    Aldridge stopped and raised his head, asking quietly, "What''s the situation? Work or life?"


    "Work, their buttocks are not clean. What do you plan to do next?"


    Aldrich thought for a moment and said, "Then poke Fleet Street."


    Andrew chuckled and said: "Then send this news to your friends on Fleet Street."


    Aldridge didn''t have a smile on his face, just stared at Andrew lightly.


    After staring at him for a full minute, Andrew suddenly patted his head and said: "Sorry, I''m stupid again, and leave the rest to me."


    Aldridge continued to eat.


    On the same night, several media on Fleet Street got secret news, and these media have a normal relationship with Millwall, and even occasionally did not get the opportunity to speak and ask questions during the interview.


    London, midnight.


    Wiseman was sleeping soundly around his wife in his bedroom, and he was awakened by a phone call. When he picked up the phone, he was confused and heard the voice of assistant Kelly.


    "What time is it now? Don''t you have to sleep?"


    "Sleep? Tomorrow you will step down from the FA''s chairmanship, can you still sleep?!"


    Kelly''s panic-stricken voice made Wiseman awake, he got out of bed, walked to the living room and asked the phone: "What''s going on? What are you talking nonsense!"


    "It''s hard to say on the phone. I''m on the sidewalk at the south gate of the park outside of your house. Let''s interview!"


    "But now it''s time."


    "What you need most now is time! But God will not give you time. When the day comes, everything is over!"


    Wiseman had almost never seen Kelly''s panic, but today was only on the phone, and he could imagine Kelly''s restlessness.


    He put on his clothes and left the house.


    Kelly waited a long time before seeing Wiseman arrive. The two met on the deserted street, and the two of them met on the street, deliberately hiding in a dark corner.


    "Why are you here?"


    Kelly''s tone revealed a strong blame.


    Wiseman waved his hands impatiently and asked, "What the **** is this?"


    Kelly took out a newspaper from his arms and gave it to the other party. Wiseman looked down. The black lamp was blind, what could be seen?


    He took the newspaper and walked under the street lamp to look closely, and found that it was not a officially published newspaper, but a sample before it was printed.


    When he read the headline of the sample page of the newspaper clearly, his eyes widened with a shock.


    He hadn''t recovered for a while, and it wasn''t until Kelly waved at him in the corner that he walked softly.


    "Who did this leak out of?"


    Wiseman asked in shock.


    Kelly gritted his teeth and said: "I don''t know."


    "How did you get the news?"


    "A reporter friend told me that it cost me two thousand pounds."


    Wiseman calmed down after the initial panic. He asked Kelly about the detailed process, and found that the newspaper company where Kelly got the news was not a more influential mainstream newspaper. Like the Times, it didn''t seem to get the news.


    "This **** is someone who deliberately killed us!"


    Wiseman immediately guessed that someone stabbed in the back.


    This is also relatively speculative.


    Newspapers have wider channels of information. Generally speaking, particularly heavy news will not be the first to be published by tabloids. Of course, scandals such as the private lives of public figures, it is not uncommon for tabloids to publish exclusive headlines. After all, their level is That grade.


    But the news level of the newspaper in Wiseman''s hands is definitely not the field where tabloids will go to camp to establish information channels, and only the tabloids will follow up.


    However, if the major newspapers do not receive news, the source of the news is very suspicious. If ordinary news sources make money by selling information, the first choice is to sell the information to the major newspapers, so that the income will be higher.


    Therefore, the source of information must not be for the purpose of drawing money.


    "Who wants to kill us?"


    Kelly had some six gods without a master at this time, and his face became as brutal as a beast.


    Wiseman was pondering, frowning about the principal behind the scene.


    "Will it be an enemy within the FA?"


    Kelly asked directly.


    Wiseman directly denied, saying: "Impossible, this scandal has hit the entire FA too much. If it is our opponent, it will indeed let us step down. Will they get support? Our Infighting also has a bottom line and principles. If it damages the collective interests, it will only hurt both sides."


    Kelly was restless and stomped and asked, "Who would it be?"


    Wiseman really wanted to thank Kelly, the other party''s questions made his thinking clear at once.


    Since the factors of internal struggles have been ruled out, then there are only enemies outside the FA.


    Suddenly he thought of a person and lost his voice: "Aldrich Hall!"


    Kelly stunned, and then suspiciously said: "He? He did so, aren''t he afraid of enemies with the entire FA?"


    Wiseman thought more and more likely.


    He said eloquently: "No, he is not afraid, because there is no evidence. Afterwards, we accused him of making trouble, more like throwing dirty water on him. Moreover, we have no position to accuse others, and there is also him inside the FA. Friend, after that incident, his reaction was very abnormal!"


    "Abnormal?"


    Kelly recalled that after the match between Millwall and Wimbledon, in addition to taunting the referee wearing the Wimbledon jersey at the press conference, he did not act violently, obediently paid the penalty, and silently accepted the suspension. And do not appeal.


    Even if the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium was punished during his suspension and part of the grandstand was closed, he still said nothing.


    It''s very abnormal!


    Where is it like the East London Derby who was so handsome and handsome after that?


    It turns out that dogs that bite are not barking!


    Isn''t Aldridge, a grassy horse, just a little unhappy?


    Your **** mother is so ruthless, it is going to destroy us!

 Chapter 359： a new day

    In the early hours of the morning, the community of the Millwall Club in East London, there were no people on the streets, and the dim light of the moonlight and street lights filled the scenery with soft scenery.


    Aldrich had long fallen asleep in the apartment, lying on the side of the bed with a calm face, when the human sleepiness was the strongest, his mobile phone on the bed rang.


    After being awakened by the mobile phone, Aldridge turned on the bedside lamp and took the phone to look at the caller ID. It was a caller saved in the phone book.


    Kelly.


    Aldridge pressed the answer button, then put the phone to his ear, closed his eyes and continued to lie in bed.


    "Mr. Hall, I''m sorry to bother you at this late hour. I''m Kelly. I have something to talk to you. I''m just outside your house. I know you''re awake. I saw the faint light in your bedroom... ¡­"


    Kelly said for a long time, and heard no one respond.


    He was standing in front of Aldridge''s house, and he was cautious about being seen.


    Deliberately lowering his voice, he could not hear Aldridge¡¯s speech. The silent ¡°answer¡± made Kelly chill, so he hurriedly continued: ¡°Mr. Hall, we had some misunderstandings before, we can completely eliminate the misunderstandings. , Mr. Wiseman, the chairman of the FA and I have always regarded you as a friend..."


    Kelly has now confirmed Wiseman''s speculation that the black hand is indeed Aldridge behind the scenes.


    And the purpose of his coming is also very simple, Aldrich does not seek money, so as long as the misunderstanding is eliminated, Aldridge spends some money to buy the news back, although the operation is a bit troublesome, but it is not infeasible. The energy of London, it is normal to prepare a lawyer''s contract within 20 minutes.


    Kelly said dryly in front of Aldridge''s house, but there was no sound coming from the receiver. He doubted whether his phone was broken.


    Kelly''s mood fell into the abyss when he saw the dawn of heaven from the time Audridge Ken answered the phone to ten minutes after it was connected.


    Aldridge didn''t say a word, which made Kelly more desperate than he said thousands of malicious complaints.


    In desperation, Kelly invited Wiseman again, and at the same time he was complaining in his heart: when the **** is he, pretending to be uncle!


    Yes, Wiseman asked Kelly to negotiate with Aldridge. To put it bluntly, he asked Kelly to plead, and he couldn''t put it down.


    Kelly didn''t get things done, Wiseman sneaked in from outside the community, and he was also afraid of being hit by someone.


    It was his turn to take Kelly''s cell phone to talk to Aldridge.


    When the chairman speaks differently, he is gentle, like a gentle elder. Let''s talk about the good old days first, and then explain the previous "misunderstanding" lightly.


    Aldridge¡¯s response remained the same, saying nothing but listening.


    Wiseman said that he didn''t get any response for five or six minutes, and he was a little annoyed. He began to threaten Aldridge with words.


    "Hall, even if you ruin my career, I still have a lot of friends in the FA. I have a lot of people. I''m out of luck. Don''t think of a good life!"


    Dududu......


    When the sound of a disconnected phone came, Wiseman raised his legs to kick the door of Aldridge''s house. Kelly saw him and stopped him immediately.


    The two stayed here for too long. The patrolling security guard came from a distance, and Kelly immediately dragged the scolding Wiseman away from the other side.


    In "escape", Kelly''s heart was full of sorrow, no one can think of the dignified FA Football Club Chairman and the FA Football Club CEO actually want to run like a thief in the middle of the night...


    Aldridge hung up the phone and opened the bedside drawer, which contained a Walkman. He put on the headphones and listened to the "Lullaby" to get to sleep again.


    There is no way. The occupation he engaged in sometimes made him sleepless late at night, especially when he led the team to play in the middle of the week. It was already close to midnight to return home after the game. If the team won, he would be excited. If the team If he loses or is flat, he may be depressed. In short, he cannot fall asleep normally, and he needs to listen to "Lullaby" to adjust his physiological state.


    After the two of Wiseman and Kelly fled the community where Millwall belonged, the two walked along the Thames and looked like a walk, but the heavy pace made them feel more like going to the execution ground.


    When dawn dawned, the two ushered in a brand new day in pale chairs.


    The general public began to usher in a new day of life. Most of the workers on Fleet Street stayed up all night. The wind leaked quickly, almost like a prairie trend. At three or four in the morning, almost all the media on Fleet Street got The most powerful headlines, and the communicators are all insiders who resell information.


    They work overtime and some work, and some directly overthrow the content of the newspaper that has been prepared for the new day, and resume the system.


    In the early morning of the morning, major newspapers on Fleet Street were on sale. Whether it was delivered to the door or a tabloid newspaper distributed free on the street, there was only one front-page title!


    "The shocking scandal! FIFA Chairman Wiseman and CEO Kelly embezzled public funds to bribe the Welsh Football Association to obtain the 2006 World Cup bid and seek a high position for the two of them at FIFA!"


    Reporters gathered outside the FA Headquarters building, and the inside of the FA has become a mess today.


    Wiseman and Kelly did not show up, and the spokesperson did not respond positively. When the time passed, everyone was convinced that the FA had already accused the accusation.


    The people are watching the lively mentality.


    There has been a lot of news in English football recently. The Manchester United club''s transaction was stranded after government intervention, and now there has been another FA Football scandal.


    In fact, everyone''s heart is not in the air. If Wiseman and Kay use the funds for the World Cup to bribe the Welsh Football Association to vote, this is an open secret and there is nothing to blame.


    The bid for each World Cup is not just a fair and equitable vote before and after the stage. Countries that can host the World Cup have a series of canvassing actions behind their backs, some of them are hidden, and some passersby are known, Everyone defaults to this game rule.


    But Wiseman and Kelly blamed the fact that the two used public funds to pave the way for their football political future, which could not be accepted by the public.


    They want to go further to the FIFA for a key position, which is not a secret within the FA, and has received a lot of support. If there are English people in the FIFA holding a key position, this will definitely be good for England.


    But the reality is that you can only do it with your eyes closed, you cannot say it.


    The sensational news became the focus of the day, and even the media of other countries in London flocked to track the progress of the scandal.


    Aldridge was disturbed for half an hour in the middle of the night, and it was a little late today.


    In the morning, he ate breakfast at home, knocked on the door of the house in a buzzing manner, ran in and turned on the TV and switched to the BBC TV station. The reporter on the scene reported the progress of the incident outside the FA Building.


    Yi Wen cheered and cheered, Aldridge''s expression was as usual. After drinking the juice, he cleaned up the tableware and went to the gym.


    His days are in order, and Millwall''s training will not be affected.


    No one would contact him anyway.


    After the match between Millwall and Wimbledon, Aldridge had a firm idea: he did not want to have any intersection with Wiseman and Kelly.


    But is it possible?


    They are the chairman of the Football Association, and it can be said that it can directly affect Millwall''s game. Even if Millwall''s domestic competition wins a cup, it will definitely meet with the other party.


    Either Aldridge left the coaching position and left the English football circle, or Wiseman and Kelly got out of the FA!


    What choices should I make?


    The chairman of the Football Association is not a saint, no matter whether it is work or life, there must be a handle. Consider the endless scandals in English football. Aldrich pleases Andrew. The matter is very simple. Find someone to stare at them 24/7, as long as they are wrong. , Then please ask for happiness.


    At three o''clock in the afternoon, outside the FA Building, Wiseman arrived by car, accompanied by Kelly.


    The two of them were surrounded by reporters when they got off the bus. Facing many acute problems, the two avoided talking and entered the FA Building with the help of security guards.


    When the discussion in the FA''s internal meeting was completed, it was time for the evening.


    The FA held a press conference, and Wiseman personally announced on the spot: resign and blame!


    The FA Football Club officially stepped down!


    He can''t step down, he stays in office for a day, and the scandal that has contacted him is how the FA still bid for the 2006 World Cup?


    This is now the top priority for the FA.


    Kelly also announced his departure at the same time, and the two highest power players within the FA have stepped down at the same time on the same day.


    While walking out of the FA Building, Wiseman declined to interview and went home directly, while Kelly faced the bitter smiles of countless microphones and cameras: "Sometimes, a small mistake can cause the most painful consequences. "


    The reporters on Fleet Street thought he was bribing the Welsh Football Association, but only the person concerned, who knew the insider, knew what he meant by the error.


    That night, it was still a park where Audridge met Andrew a month ago.


    In the golden autumn season, the vegetation is dying, stepping on the orange leaves, Aldridge wears a slim coat and gazes dreamily at the woods by the lake.


    There were footsteps behind him, Aldridge recovered, and turned around. Andrew threw a cigarette at him, and the lighter flame flickered. The two met and lighted cigarettes at the same time, taking a sip and exhaling smoke.


    "Next, do you have any ideas?"


    Andrew asked playfully.


    Aldridge shook his head: "No."


    This is his truth.


    Andrew said, "Then I am in the FA''s activities, don''t you object?"


    Aldridge frowned: "There is no need to ask me."


    "Isn''t it necessary? Will you and I look at each other separately?"


    Aldridge sighed and said, "Just do what you want, there are many things you don''t need to show yourself, do things smarter."


    "So I asked you, is this not smart enough?"


    Aldridge looked at him helplessly, Andrew hugged his shoulders and the two began to walk out.


    "Why haven''t you seen a woman by your side recently?"


    "Troubled."


    "So what are you usually busy with?"


    "The countries in the south and the north are wandering around and dealing with sponsors. The elder brother''s career in the United States is booming. I have met many people.


    "It''s not bad. In your business, networking is more important than anything."


    "How about you? Singer''s girlfriend has concerts everywhere, isn''t she lonely?"


    "Now, I suddenly feel a little bit."


    Aldridge and Andrew have nothing to say, and his true mood will not be hidden from each other.


    Andrew asked curiously: "I thought you would say okay. Isn''t that always the case?"


    Aldridge looked up at the night sky and said with regret: "I don''t know, I feel like my mind has changed. In the past, except for sleeping, I used to sleep in the toilet for 24 hours. In my head, I had football in my head. After the team won the league championship, the Champions League championship, I have no previous job. Busy and thoughtful. Sometimes I feel at home that something is missing at night. I have recently been showing signs of madness."


    "Oh, go, I will take you to a fun place."


    "This is fine, don''t want to cause trouble."


    Aldrich declined the invitation, bid farewell to Andrew outside the park, and drove home by himself.

 Chapter 360： Young handsome hair

    In preparing for the mid-week league, Millwall ushered in a good news: the club''s history transfer signing king Henry returned to participate in training!


    He has been injured since the summer transfer. Millwall''s game, he did not spend in the stands, Aldridge let him sit on the bench with the team, the task is to read the game and observe Millwall Teamwork, especially offensive routines on the front line.


    Wenger can allow Henry to complete the transition from winger to center in two months. Audridge does not have much demand on himself. As long as Henry can make a perfect transition this season, Millwall''s frontline power will not be inferior to the 98 Champions League final next season. She was evaluated as the "Diamond Trident" front combination by the media.


    Henry is just restorative simple training now, the intensity is not high, when he rests, Audridge will let him stand on the sidelines to watch the team''s offensive and defensive confrontation, especially let him observe Klose''s running position and role on the front line which performed.


    In the comparison between the two centers that Klose and the Fanny team are currently printing, Klose is more in line with Aldridge''s tactical requirements, because he has a stronger ability to play for his companions and can cover the hidden attack points on the wings and behind him. , And Fanny is an excellent center in the traditional impression, needs teammates to provide him with fire support, he is a killer to solve the problem.


    Aldridge knows to what extent Henry''s ability can be achieved, so he hopes that Henry will not only score goals but also activate the team''s offensive line.


    The gun king who faced the goalkeeper in Highbury single-handedly but consciously passed the ball to his teammates doubled the scoring probability, which was the core of the gorgeous Arsenal unity in history.


    Henry is very serious in training, especially when Aldridge talks to him personally, he not only writes down, but also thinks, and occasionally issues questions, Aldridge will answer him in detail. In addition to training, Jenson Organized some videos for Henry to let him have time to watch, which is the essence of Millwall''s past offensive line, let him focus on the choice of running position and offensive players.


    After playing the Champions League in the middle of the week and then playing in the league, and it was to challenge Charlton away, Millwall showed a little fatigue. Fortunately, the game was played in London, and the two clubs are not far away, but there is no gap between the two. How many hatreds and enmities, Charlton is a very strange team, located in the south of London, surrounded by Crystal Palace, Millwall, northeast and West Ham United, but they are like air, with whom The relationship is not tepid, the derby war is as bland as water, and there is no smell of gunpowder.


    Millwall passed Zambrotta''s long-range away goal and scored a difficult victory over Charlton, but slipped second in the standings. Manchester United slaughtered Wimbledon at 5:1 at home and overcame Mill on the goal difference. Wall.


    To be able to win, Aldridge does not have to be critical of the team.


    After returning home from the game, he was disturbed by the phone while bathing in the bathroom.


    After answering, it was found that it was Melanie, and the other party was making a fuss today. After the phone was connected, she could occasionally hear her laughter, and there was an inexplicable excitement mixed in few words.


    "Something good happened? Strange, shouldn''t you be bothered now? Halevier announced her withdrawal from the Spice Girls, aren''t you sad?"


    Aldridge lay in the bathtub with the phone.


    He doesn''t care about the entertainment industry, but he will also pay attention to the news of the hot girl group in his spare time every day.


    At the beginning of the North American concert, Haliver suddenly announced that he would leave the Spice Girls after the tour and may permanently withdraw from the entertainment industry. This news has no effect on people like Aldridge, but it has no effect on the Spice Girls. The fan is a thunderbolt.


    "Oh, I don''t want those things for the time being, yes, I''m in a good situation. You are so smart, guess what!"


    Aldridge shouted exaggeratedly: "I know! You have betrayed!"


    "What do you mean?"


    "Today''s Merseyside Derby, Liverpool draw with Everton away, you have become an Everton fan, so you are happy, right?"


    "Aldrich, you really owe it! It has nothing to do with football, guess again!"


    "You signed a big contract with the record company?"


    "Cut, it has nothing to do with business! Guess again!"


    Aldridge continued to guess, but he didn''t guess, he said to the phone with a smile, "Should I give me a hint?"


    "Okay, then give you a little hint, you have to use your brain to think of two names."


    Aldridge did not respond, lamenting: "What kind of hint is this?"


    "Hum..."


    In her pleasant hum, Aldridge suddenly stood up from the bathtub, and with a splash, the water splashed and spilled outside the bathtub.


    He was nervous, holding the phone tightly, panting heavily, and after a while he swallowed and asked, "You, you, are you pregnant?"


    "Yeah! Guess right, congratulations! You are going to be a dad!"


    Aldridge''s heart trembles fiercely, and he asks excitedly: "Really? Did you lie to me?"


    "Really! I just came back from the hospital, absolutely true!"


    "Wow! Wow...I have children? I have children..."


    Aldridge danced naked in the bathtub like a mental patient.


    Melanie listened to the sound of Aldridge screaming and cheering from the receiver, and her smile also passed from the receiver to Aldridge''s ear.


    "You wait, I will go find you now."


    Aldridge quickly hung up the phone, then booked the ticket, and at the same time called the club''s person. He had to take two days off, and there was no competition in the middle of the week.


    When he confirmed from Melanie that he would have the next generation, he felt an irresistible joy in his heart. At this moment, he confirmed that he wanted a child and hoped to have his own child in life. Have a complete family of your own.


    On the way to the airport, Aldridge called Arthur.


    The old man did not return home at midnight, and took his wife to play with his former friends in the bar. When Aldridge called, the noisy environment in the bar made him unable to hear what Aldridge was talking about.


    He came to a place with a better environment and listened to the phone and asked, "Son, what did you just say?"


    "I''m going to be a dad! Melanie is pregnant."


    "Oh, is it yours?"


    Aldridge sitting in the taxi heard Arthur''s rhetorical question, and suddenly looked helpless.


    "Are you trying to play against me?"


    "No, hasn''t she been abroad?"


    "She came back last month, and it''s time. It''s almost now that she''s responding. I''m going to tell you what these are doing! I know you don''t like her..."


    "Okay, since you are definitely your child, then I will be happy for you, son, congratulations, you will soon feel the pain of my father, give birth to you, and then feed your three **** by hand, Lao Tzu How much hardship did you know?"


    "Really? Didn''t you say that I picked it up from the dump?"


    "..."


    After hanging up, Arthur closed his eyes and couldn''t stop smiling.


    When he walked back to the main hall of the bar, he climbed up directly to a table and shouted after standing up: "Today the whole court invites guests!"


    His group of old friends looked stunned, and Amelia grabbed his trouser legs to cry without tears: "Old bastard, are you drinking too much?"


    Our family has money, but it''s not such a trick!


    Arthur was sober. During the cheers, he jumped off the table, hugged his wife and picked up a beer bottle to clink with his old friends. Haha smiled and said, "Aldrich is going to be a father, Hall II is coming." !"


    He had self-knowledge. He dared not call Aldridge¡¯s children Hall III. Aldrich¡¯s great achievements for Millwall, he couldn¡¯t compare. Having such a son is enough for him to be proud, and he can¡¯t commit himself to face again. Paste gold.


    Amelia also froze in surprise.


    The old friends next to me joked: "Isn''t the child born yet? How do you know it''s a boy? Or a girl, or Hall II?"


    Arthur whispered: "The three children of Lao Tzu are boys, and the children of the eldest son are also boys. This is the fine tradition of the Hall family."


    "Probably, it''s impossible to be a boy..."


    "Probability to learn your sister, you **** sell yellow videos on the street without graduating from elementary school, you know the probability of fart!"


    "Hahahaha..."


    After chatting and farting together, the old friends toasted together to congratulate Arthur and Amelia.


    After being happy, Amelia secretly asked Arthur: "Who gave birth to Aldridge?"


    Arthur rolled her eyes and said, "Chisholm."


    Amelia didn''t speak anymore.


    The old couple didn''t like the singer, neither because of her appearance nor her character, just because she was a singer, and she didn''t have time to spend time with Aldridge. Women together, that''s like life.


    Just like they never waited to see Andrew''s supermodel girlfriend, he directly led Andrew to stay single now, even with a short-term female companion, he would never take home to find him unhappy.


    Aldrich kept sending messages to his friends while waiting for boarding in the airport waiting hall.


    It¡¯s strange that he rarely shares some privacy matters, such as his birthday, and won¡¯t celebrate if he won a career honor, but today, he can¡¯t wait to let the world know that he will be a father. Made him very happy.


    Both Barnett and Andrew called at the first time. Barnett happened to be in the United States and said he would pick up the phone in person.


    He has some neuropathy today.


    While waiting in line to board the plane, he turned to smile at the middle-aged woman behind him. The other party stared at him cautiously, but he took the initiative to shake hands with the other party and smiled: "I''m going to be a father."


    The middle-aged woman shook hands inexplicably, said congratulations dryly, then stared at Aldridge''s face for a moment, and finally shook her head.


    She was sullen in her heart: the young man was very handsome, and it was very much like the handsome young man in England, but unfortunately, there was a problem in her mind.


    Aldridge also shook hands with the stewardess warmly when he boarded the plane, and also said to the other party: I am going to be a father!


    The flight attendants thought that the other party was going to wipe the oil, maintaining an awkward smile. After Aldridge entered the cabin to find a place to sit down, the flight attendants whispered and reminded each other: Be careful of the man.


    Aldridge didn''t know that his head was labeled "sex wolf".


    The flight time from London to New York was not short, but Aldridge didn''t feel sleepy at all, he was suffocating.


    Unfortunately, the seat next to it is empty, and no one can talk about passing time.


    Since idle, Aldridge began to plan his future life.


    With a child, he couldn¡¯t live in that small apartment. The place looked a little small. To put it bluntly, he didn¡¯t want to grieve the child, even if the child didn¡¯t grow up.


    He happily wrote a future life plan on the paper with a pen, and regarded it as a treasure to manage a good family, but he never thought that the dense paper he wrote would eventually become waste paper scraps.

 Chapter 361： Disagree

    After Aldridge arrived in New York, USA, Barnett came to meet him in person and sat in the extended Lincoln. Aldridge stayed up all night but was still energetic, and he had a long talk with Barnett. If the topic is not open, he will soon become Father''s joy.


    Barnett was frightened by him and kept reminding him to be calm. He was a father and he could understand the joy of Aldridge, but he could not understand the excitement of the other party beyond the ordinary range.


    Of course he couldn¡¯t understand it. Aldrich is actually a ¡°old son¡±. He has lived for more than forty years before he had his own children. It¡¯s not that he was so unsatisfactory before, but only in strange It was only after the sudden shock of joy that he became more excited.


    Barnett invited Aldridge to stay in his American mansion. Aldrich disagreed. He couldn¡¯t wait to see Melanie. Barnett called the driver to drive him to Melanie¡¯s hotel.


    When Aldridge entered the hotel and came to Melanie''s room, he faced Melanie who opened the door for him and suddenly became very calm.


    Melanie, dressed in casual clothes, looked at him with a slight squint at the corner of his mouth, waiting for him to rush over and hug himself, but Aldridge walked into the room, gently closed the door, and turned to look tenderly Stare at Melanie.


    "Damn, Aldridge, what are you waiting for? Hurry, hug me!"


    Melanie rushed over and threw himself into his arms, hugging each other tightly.


    Aldridge also hugged her, but carefully.


    "Be careful, be careful..."


    He gently pressed her back to prevent her from making large movements.


    Melanie grabbed his face and smiled repeatedly: "I don''t feel anything if I''m nervous about you. If it wasn''t for the recent official holiday, who knew she would be pregnant."


    "Even if you didn''t know it before, now that you know it, you need to be careful."


    Aldridge let go of her, took her hand to the bed and sat down.


    Melanie saw the bloodshot eyes in his eyes and asked distressedly: "Did you not rest?"


    Aldridge smiled: "Can''t sleep."


    "Then sleep now! Must!"


    Melanie took off his clothes with his own hands, and then let him lie down in the bed. He also took off his coat and drilled into the bed in underwear, leaning on his shoulders, resting one hand on his chest, laughing: "Let you sleep better."


    Aldrich sniffed her fragrance and closed her eyes contentedly. It was really tired, and he spoke to Melanie more and more before his consciousness became blurred.


    "I think of the child''s name. The boy is named Burt and the girl is Bonnie."


    "Bert, Bonnie, a nice name."


    Two names that Melanie let him think about, Aldridge completed the task.


    She thought about it, Burt, symbolizing brilliance and glory, Bonnie, symbolizing grace and kindness.


    "I wish our children could be as famous as you are. Aldridge, the wise ruler, Hall, heroic glory, Aldridge Hall, huh, wise and glorious hero ruler."


    "This is the best wishes parents have for their children..."


    Aldridge fell asleep, Melanie stared at his face with his chin up close, closed his eyes and kissed gently, then closed his eyes and lay peacefully in his arms.


    When Aldridge woke up, he opened his eyes and saw that the sky was dark outside the room window, and the clock on the wall in the room showed that it was 11pm.


    Melanie was staying in a suite. In addition to the bedroom, there was also a living room outside. She was watching TV in the living room at a low volume.


    Aldridge was in a hurry this time. Apart from the documents, he didn''t even bring the clothes that he changed. So he got up and put on his suit again, but he didn''t tidy up.


    He went to the living room, Melanie turned her head and smiled, "Wake you up?"


    If you don¡¯t walk into the living room and hardly hear the sound from the TV, Aldridge walks over and leans over to kiss her, and then sits down next to her, Melanie calls the hotel to deliver the meal.


    He had prepared the waiter to prepare hearty food before, and waited for Aldridge to wake up and bring it in.


    The two enjoyed a meal in the living room, and halfway through the meal, Aldridge suddenly said, "Let''s get married."


    Melanie froze, and Aldridge continued, "You go back to London and we buy a new house, or live in the eastern suburbs. Although it is a little far from where I work, it doesn''t matter."


    Melanie recovered her expression from the surprise and frowned: "Audric, what are you talking about?"


    Aldridge laughed: "I''m talking about us, we get married, of course we have to live together, and there will be a child soon, we''re going to raise children together, don''t we?"


    Melanie asked, "What about my work? What about my career?"


    Aldridge took it for granted: "Halley has decided to quit, and the other members of the Spice Girls, Victoria also wants to quit? If it was not for Beckham to be a sinner in England in France, they should all be married now. Your career It has achieved brilliance, and now, I think it is a good time for people to enter a new stage."


    Melanie shook her head when she heard the words, "You mean let me be a housewife? Aldridge, I can''t influence others'' thoughts. Haliver wants to quit, it''s her choice, if Victoria wants to marry It¡¯s her choice to be a full-time wife after giving Beckham. I haven¡¯t been satisfied yet. From the debut till now, my career has only started for three or four years. That¡¯s right, the babes have been successful. Crisis, but it does not mean that my career is also over. Without other members, I think I can also succeed."


    Aldridge also frowned slightly and said softly: "I''m not wondering if you can succeed if you break away from the hot girl group, I just think that we are together and form a complete family, at least we should live together, and have children in the case of."


    "I don''t think that having children will affect the fact that we are together."


    "But I need you by my side and my children to see my mother at home every day, and if you continue your current career, you will definitely not be able to take care of the family most of the time."


    Melanie and Aldridge had a violent quarrel, the two of you came and went, and they did not give in to words.


    "Having a child doesn''t mean you need to stay at home 24 hours a day! Many couples or couples come here like this, I don''t think this is a problem!"


    "No, you don¡¯t understand me. I need a complete family. There is me, you, and children. Let me go home after work. I can see my wife and children. I can sit together at the dinner table and talk. Any topic in life, not the feeling that lovers are always in love."


    Aldridge stood up and said loudly, his face very serious.


    Melanie also stood up and said: "You have a career, I also have a career, why do you let me give up? Why didn''t you give up work to accompany me?"


    Aldridge was speechless.


    Yeah, why did he ask Melanie to give up her career to fulfill his desires?


    Having lived in Europe for more than ten years, Aldrich thoroughly experienced the difference between Eastern and Western concepts at this moment.


    He is somewhat conservative in the concept of family. He believes that a family should be a man who works hard outside. When conditions permit, a woman stays at home, especially if there are children.


    The atmosphere in the living room became tense. The two did not speak or even looked at each other. Melanie turned her head to look away, while Aldridge bowed her head slightly with her arms akimbo and one hand.


    He was obviously thinking.


    But his thinking panicked Melanie.


    Aldridge is not the kind of person who will make a fuss about unreasonably. After getting along for so many years, she knows this man.


    His thinking must be a choice.


    He is a stubborn person, especially when a person desires something, the power of desire will make the attitude very firm.


    Melanie felt aggrieved, her tears dim, and used the woman''s most normal reaction to break this depressing silence.


    complain.


    "Aldrich, I love you, and you love me too, but you said you wanted to marry me, but you didn¡¯t even have a proposal ring. I said it lightly, I don¡¯t ask you to give me much romance, at least it should be formal Propose marriage?"


    She spoke about the marriage, just to remind Aldridge where the relationship between the two was a realistic step.


    Aldrich raised his head and said calmly, "Marry? I don''t know, if our state has not changed before and after marriage, what is the point of getting married? Just now I was wrong, I should not take it for granted You give up your career, but if we can¡¯t agree on this matter, I don¡¯t think things will go in the direction we are expecting. Melanie, please consider my request carefully, I know, let you start from singer Mei Lanny Chisholm becomes Melanie Hall, it is for you to make some sacrifices..."


    Before Aldridge¡¯s words were finished, Melanie shook her head with tears: ¡°No, I don¡¯t, you have spent so many years studying, traveling all over Europe, and asking for various football academies. What about me? My contribution before becoming famous is also at the expense of sweat every day! You can¡¯t give up easily, why can I? Aldrich, we can not get married, but we can stay in our current state, even if we have children, There will be too much impact, we can ask the babysitter and let the elders help take care..."


    "But this is not what I want. My job is different from yours. You are in Berlin today, and tomorrow in Paris. You can enjoy different scenery after work, but me? Most of the year is the training ground, the competition ground, Club, I need to give me more elements of life in my life, I need to go home at the end of work with enthusiasm, knowing that someone is waiting for me at home, I can see the figure of my wife, I can see the face of the child, it can make me Forget all the tiredness and feel the fullness of life! This is what I want, can you give me? Can you?"


    Aldridge''s tone was soft, more like a request.


    But Melanie was silent, her tears slipping down her face.


    Aldridge has already got the answer.


    He lowered his head and laughed at himself.


    Thinking too naively.


    Sometimes love and life are two different things.


    He walked back to the bedroom and put on leather shoes, and came to Melanie''s side when he walked to the living room, trying to wipe the tears from her face, but Melanie''s extended hand was opened directly by Melanie.


    "take care of yourself."


    "What do you mean? Break up?"


    Melanie turned her head to look into his eyes.


    Aldrich said softly: "I just hope you can calmly think about it for a while."


    "No need!"


    Aldridge took a deep look at her, then walked to the door, opened the door, and went out.

 Chapter 362： Before winter comes

    When he came to the hotel during the day, Aldridge''s suit and leather shoes were high-spirited. When he walked out of the hotel at midnight, his shirt was not tucked into his pants and his buttons were not fastened. .


    When I stepped out of the hotel and looked up at the sky, I didn''t see it. The surrounding high-rise buildings were dazzling. The prosperity of concrete even blocked the sky.


    Aldridge felt his pocket and wanted to take out his mobile phone to make a call, but he first touched a piece of paper.


    Take it out and look down. It was the life plan he wrote on the plane. He laughed ridiculously, put the paper into a group and thrown it away. He went back to the hotel and asked the waiter to call for a taxi.


    On the way to the airport after getting a taxi, he called Melanie''s family.


    He didn''t know what he would become with Melanie next.


    The worst ending is to break up. As for whether Melanie will take away the child in her belly, Aldridge never thought about it. After all, he subconsciously thought Melanie was not so cruel.


    Unlike Aldridge¡¯s family who doesn¡¯t like Melanie very much, Melanie¡¯s parents really like Aldridge. Of course, there are always two or three days each year that affects Aldridge directly from liking to hatred. That was the day Millwall played against Liverpool.


    Melanie¡¯s parents also learned of her daughter¡¯s pregnancy. Aldridge called them to make them spend more energy to take care of the pregnant women. Their parents understood that because Aldridge¡¯s work made it impossible for him to accompany With Melanie, the couple are already planning to come to the United States to take care of their daughters.


    Aldridge did not mention the quarrel between him and Melanie, and they should understand when they come to the United States.


    On the phone, Aldridge said a lot of patience, and even bluntly mentioned that Melanie had mild anxiety. As long as she was unhappy, she would overeating and the like, hoping that her parents could Pay more attention when taking care of her...


    Back in London, Aldridge rested at home for a whole day. After adjusting the time difference, he put all his energy into work. Only in this way, he would not think about the troubles.


    He was about to become a father, told his family and friends, and some colleagues, and he did not particularly tell the players.


    So when he became more severe on the training ground and did not usually see a smile, most of the players thought that Aldridge was more demanding of them.


    However, the colleagues in the coaching staff saw that Aldridge was unhappy and asked in private, but Aldridge kept silent.


    Anyone with a discerning eye can guess that Aldridge has a problem with his private life.


    The day before, he said happily that he would have a child.


    The next day it seemed like this hadn''t happened at all, and it became unhappy.


    When Craig talked to Jensen about this, he also speculated: Is the child not his?


    It wasn''t until the next beer night for coaches that Aldridge told them the truth.


    Older people like Jensen and Craig, Klinsmann and others all understand it better.


    They are all married, and they can see their wives and children every day when they come home. It is hard to imagine that if they are married like Aldridge, they still live a solitary life every day. What a meaning in life!


    In the end, everyone comforted Aldridge. Although Aldridge was the leader in work, the authority was unquestionable. But in life, Jenson felt that Aldridge was more like a little brother.


    Klinsmann told Aldridge in a terrible way: You and her, with similar attributes, cannot complement each other in life.


    Aldridge thought about it and thought it might be.


    Both of them are very serious about their careers. Since they are all busy with their careers, there is no time to run a family. If they are married, the couple should have one such role.


    At the weekend at home against Southampton, Aldridge sat on the coach''s seat to watch the game. The team has reached the point of grinding into a form. Now all it needs is stability, and then wait for the injury to return to the team, Millwall''s strength Will go to the next level.


    For Ronaldinho, Aldridge did not give him a lot of games, but maintained the density of one game a week, and adjusted his appearances according to opponents and time.


    He played in the Champions League in the middle of last week. He didn''t play in the weekend game. Today he played in Southampton and made him debut. The League Cup in the middle of next week is not going to let him play.


    Ronaldinho, who suffocated for nearly ten days, played well on the court today, especially as he began to find a sense of role change on the court.


    This change is now passively adjusted according to Nedved''s position.


    When Nedved appears in the front waist position, Ronaldinho wants to insert the penalty area to threaten the goal. When Nedved starts running forward, Ronaldinho will move to the front waist position for the final strike tandem.


    Today at the Lion''s Cave Stadium, the two men''s back and forth transposition in the frontcourt caused great trouble to their opponents, which upset the opponent''s defense, and there were frequent marking holes.


    In addition, the right-hand Glennhill single-handed ability also requires Southampton to focus on marking. Millwall''s weak offense began to change a while ago, and the offensive firepower was gradually released.


    "Ronaldinho took the ball in the penalty area in front of the penalty area, Nedved''s straight ball was just right, Ronaldinho pulled the ball horizontally over the spot, and he swung his leg to make a shot. Southampton The defender rushed over to block, WOW, Ronaldinho did not shoot, but in front of the cross, Fanny who was completely unmarked easily pushed and scored! 3:0, 70 minutes into the game, Millwall again Scoring a goal, Glenn Carr, Fanny, Lampard scored one goal each, with 20 minutes left in the game, but there is no suspense in the victory.


    Ronaldinho, who has received two assists today, is very hard. At the last moment of the game, he gave up the opportunity to score. After breaking through the opponent''s defense, he faced the goalkeeper with a single pole but passed the ball to Nedved, who followed up. They are also easy to push and shoot.


    "Assisted by a hat trick, Ronaldinho''s performance today shows his potential to become a superstar. Millwall''s star-making ability is too scary. In Hall''s lineup, there may be strange names. , But strange today, maybe tomorrow, this name will become the hottest topic in Europe!"


    The team''s four-ball bloodbath came to Southampton, but Aldridge didn''t have too many joyful expressions from beginning to end. He only smiled and applauded when he scored.


    Ronaldinho became the best player in the game, but in the post-match interview, Aldridge poured cold water on Ronaldinho.


    Faced with the interview lens, Aldridge said seriously: "Yes, he performed well, but this is his normal level, I think he can get better, we are a strong team, he deserves it It¡¯s time to do this, but I can¡¯t overestimate him for the time being. Why? Because if he goes to the middle and lower reaches of the team, there must be no current performance. The teammates around him are the guarantees of his outstanding performance, and if he is satisfied , Proud, stopped, and soon, he will be thrown away by excellent teammates."


    Since the UEFA Champions League and Inter Milan, Ronaldinho has become the first object of attention of the European giants, all the giants want to take him away from Millwall.


    However, Ronaldinho was not interested in any transfer information. When Aldridge poured cold water on him during the interview, many media would fan the flames and want to provoke this disagreement between the mentor and the student.


    In an interview outside the Leo training base, Ronaldinho made it clear that he accepted all the opinions and suggestions of Audridge. He said it very straightforward: the boss is for my own good.


    Aldridge has no personal grievances with the players. He has communicated personally with every player who came in. If he can¡¯t talk, he won¡¯t come, such as Liverpool Sanjie, or Ibrahimovic, who called on the phone during the summer. .


    Every word he said was of course for the players to become better.


    Just like many coaches always warn players who are famous at a young age.


    As long as the players are not arrogant and think they can touch the sky with their hands, they will understand the pain of the head coach.


    Ronaldinho was able to maintain his peace of mind, and Aldridge naturally liked it.


    His attitude determines his future.


    Ronaldinho''s name has become the focus of recent European football.


    In the next period of Millwall''s game, the most notable stars are Nedved and Ronaldinho.


    With the goals of Van der Med and Klose in the League Cup, Millwall successfully defeated Burnley and advanced to the quarterfinals.


    In the eleventh round of the Premier League, Millwall expeditions to challenge Newcastle United on the Tyne River. Since Kevin Keegan''s class and a half season, Newcastle United quickly fell. Dalglish was fired by the club in August and the successor was the former Chelsea coach Gullit.


    Newcastle United hopes that Gullit can bring the team''s style back to the offensive football. Dalglish set the lowest goal score in the Premier League era of Newcastle United last season. It is unbearable. 38 rounds of the league Only scored 35 goals and scored fewer goals than conceded. As a veteran powerhouse, Newcastle United still competed for the previous season. Who can bear the result!


    It''s a pity that Gullit didn''t have a good card. Newcastle United had no big players except Hiller.


    When Ginola and Ferdinand switched to Tottenham, Newcastle United''s offense plummeted.


    Moreover, their defensive problems have not been resolved, and the decision of the club''s top management is a series of mistakes in retrospect.


    The reason for Keegan''s departure was weak defense. Dalglish was hired to improve the defense. As a result, the defense was not done well, and the offense was lost. Now, Gullit is invited, and he wants to resume the offense, but the defense is still a big one. problem.


    Newcastle United''s current situation is that it is difficult to care about. At home, facing Millwall, Aldridge is still sitting and watching the game.


    The new set of 442 lineup is to quickly counterattack through the opponent''s defense. Newcastle United want to attack at home, then attack, anyway, except for a Hiller, no one else is threatening, they can not play a sharp team pass Cooperate with each other and stare at Hiller.


    Aldridge did not let Ronaldinho play today, but Duff replaced him.


    Dafga Glennchart''s two wing assaulters played an important role in the game, delivering enough shells for Fanny and Shadow Nedved on the front line.


    At the end of the game, the scoreboard showed 0:2, Newcastle United lost two goals at home.


    Fanny and Nedved scored one goal each.


    Aldrich shook hands with Gullit and talked a little more today.


    When Gullit is no longer Chelsea coach, there is no hostile position between Aldridge and him. If it is at the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium, Aldridge can also invite the other to go to the office for a drink It depends on whether Gullit can stay in the position of Newcastle United coach until the second half of the season.


    In the next Champions League, Millwall created a massacre.


    7:0 The visiting Austrian champion Graz was bloodbathed.


    Ronaldinho staged a senior in the game to shock Europe.


    The winter has not yet arrived, but the quotations of the European giants are secretly faxed to the Millwall Club, and the highest bidder is even up to 20 million pounds!


    The target of the purchase is naturally Ronaldinho who don''t think it is the next superstar!

 Chapter 363： Miss

    Thursday night, Black Hotel London.


    This is a very expensive five-star hotel in the city of London. In the VIP suites of the hotel, four men and two women sit in front of a round table.


    A card game is in progress, with chips, fine wine and snacks in front of the six.


    Aldridge was sitting Ewen on the left hand, and also a beautiful and elegant beauty on the right hand, a senior executive of British Airways, Ms. Alina.


    The other players at the same table were Carter from Standard Chartered Bank, Fitz from Fathom Insurance, and Rudis from Ladbrokes.


    The six people at this table, except for Yiwen, have cooperation with Millwall.


    Millwall went to war everywhere and has long become a British Airways VIP.


    Standard Chartered Bank is now the sponsor of the Millwall jersey chest advertising.


    When the club signs a contract, an insurance company is required to intervene, and France Insurance also lists Millwall as a key customer.


    Ladbrokes Gaming Company is one of the sponsors of stadium advertising.


    Aldridge''s leisure activities have increased significantly. In addition to the beer nights fixed at the club, he will also participate in poker nights like today, and there will be a reading meeting organized by Ms. Rowling.


    If he wants to lead a team to play in the middle of the week, he basically has activities every night of the week.


    This is just to keep myself from worrying about staying at home.


    He has a good luck tonight, and the stack of chips in front of him is obviously more than others.


    Rudis had a very bad hand, and he folds directly. He picked up his glass and looked at Aldridge. He asked softly: "I received news that Ronaldinho has a lot of giants to buy, and the offer price is not low, Mill. Will Wall take the risk to keep him?"


    If young players receive an expensive offer if they are less than 20 years old, the club''s choice of selling or not is debatable.


    If it is sold, a lot of transfer fee income is very realistic.


    If you don¡¯t sell, you have to take risks. There are many talented players who end up hurting Zhongyong. If you don¡¯t sell at a high price, it will be a loss and it will drag the team¡¯s record.


    Aldridge withdrew the card, threw some chips to the front, turned his head and smiled: "What are the odds that Ladbrokes Ronaldinho''s transfer? I can bet five million pounds to bet him not to transfer Yes, do you accept it?"


    Rudiston was speechless and others laughed.


    At the end of the game, Aldridge turned into a confrontation with the beautiful woman Alina. Alina smiled lightly, pushed all the chips in front of her, and said to Aldrich: "Should you Will it disappoint?"


    Aldridge looked at his watch and said, "It''s not too early, then it''s over."


    He pushed the chips and did not play the mystery. He directly showed the bottom card. Elena also lifted the bottom card. Compared with the board, Aldridge lost.


    Elena chuckled, "Thank you."


    Aldridge raised his eyebrows: "It is estimated that this is related to my recent luck. I always thought it was a good start, but the ending was very bleak. God likes to give people a reverse drama."


    After finishing the game, Yiwen put on a white coat and waited outside the door for Aldridge. After greeting other people, Carter stayed at the end to talk to Aldridge.


    "Three months after the start of the new season, Millwall''s momentum is good, especially because many newcomers on the team are on the top, which has focused on European football. Now the first team of Millwall is estimated to be worth more than 200 million pounds. People are curious about you. How many future superstars are still hidden?"


    Carter''s words left Aldridge puzzled.


    Millwall and Standard Chartered Bank are commercial partners, not to mention any exchanges in the field of football. Carter told him what is the use of these?


    How much is Millwall''s first team worth?


    In Larson alone, Nedved combined for more than 50 million pounds.


    Aldridge looked at Carter in confusion, and the other party continued: "Now the outside world is not only concerned about the Millwall first team, but also very interested in your reserve team and youth team. After all, these subordinate echelons are also very amazing."


    Aldridge shrugged, and the other was right.


    Millwall¡¯s reserve team won the reserve league championship for two consecutive years. The league started three months this year and also left the back team far away, like Vicente, the injured Henry, Pedretti and others. All are playing in the reserve team, the record is guaranteed.


    The youth team has dominated the youth league for many years in a row. In addition to missing the youth FA Cup championship the previous year, the youth FA cup has been included in other years, plus the youth teams from various European teams since last season. It also achieved a decent record, and the youth team received unpredictable attention from the outside world.


    Many European giants also want to steal Millwall''s youth team players, but the youth team players don''t have much to leave, unless the giants personally promised to give the opportunity, but this point, the giants can''t give it.


    The middle and lower reaches of the team can dig up young players, which can give the main force, but the young team players can¡¯t look down on them. They want to stay in Millwall first to see how the competition is. If it doesn''t work, then transfer to other teams to develop.


    Now the voice that haunts the most over the Millwall youth team is: XX player is Nedved II, Larson¡¯s successor, the next Pirlo...


    "Can you tell me what you said? But what exactly do you want to say?"


    Carter faced Aldridge''s question and whispered: "There are my friends over Umbro. They want to test your response through me."


    "Umbro? They want to cooperate? But we just signed a new contract with Puma in the summer for two years. If we want to cooperate, we will talk about it after a year and a half.


    "No, not the first team. They want to sponsor the reserve team and the youth team. Even Millwall has all echelons except the first team!


    Aldridge was lost in thought after hearing this.


    The reserve team and the youth team have sponsors, which are rare in football around the world, and there is no precedent in mainstream European leagues.


    But in the future, Manchester United''s reserve team sponsorship contract is higher than the sponsorship income of many mid- and downstream clubs!


    It is also the first club in Europe that allows the reserve team to generate huge income.


    Aldrich didn''t think about it for a long time and was able to generate income without any hesitation.


    "Very good, as long as the price is right, Millwall welcomes one more partner, but before that, we must first say hello to Puma and see what they mean, if they are to the reserve team, the youth team If you are not interested in sponsorship, then we can talk to other sponsors."


    Carter nodded when he heard the words. He admired Aldridge most in his career: the other party respected its partners.


    There is no such thing as profit-making.


    On the way home by car, Yiwen sat sideways in the co-pilot''s seat and stared quietly at Aldridge.


    Of course she knew about Melanie¡¯s pregnancy. Others sent Aldridge blessings and even a lot of gifts, but she did not respond.


    "Talk?"


    Yiwen broke the silence.


    Aldridge drove the car, knew what the other party wanted to talk, and said lightly: "I don''t want to talk."


    Family members, friends, colleagues, and many people gave him advice, relieve him, comfort him, he seems to have become a victim of life, full of grievances, this is not the image he should have, he also disgusted himself in the eyes of others Became a helpless person.


    No need for anyone''s comfort and advice. This is the thing for him and Melanie. If you can talk together, you can talk together.


    "Why don''t you give me a chance?"


    "Especially now, I don''t want to talk about this matter."


    Aldridge turned on the radio and listened to the radio.


    Drive to the door of the apartment, get off Ewen, Aldridge parked the car in the garage, and then went home to rest.


    Just finished the European War in midweek, and in the weekend league, Millwall went to Derbyshire. The guest game was a bit ugly. This season, Derbyshire¡¯s image of a weak traveler has been ranked in the middle and upper reaches from the beginning of the season, which is impressive. Fighting Millwall, they have strong fighting spirit, Millwall is a little concentrated in the game, trying to control the game but being counter-attacked by the opponent after a continuous counterattack, less than 30 minutes after the opening two goals behind, Derby County will lead after two goals Start to die, and strive to put 3 points in the bag.


    This choice was wrong. As soon as they contracted, Millwall¡¯s inherent disadvantage of continuous combat was reduced, and he could control the rhythm calmly. In addition to the game time, the strong temperament accumulated by Millwall began to play a role. In control of the game, he scored two goals in the second half of the 56th and 77th minutes to equalize the score. When the score came to a draw, Derbyshire rushed wildly and rushed. Millwall''s final counterattack penetrated the opponent''s defense line. Unfortunately, Van der Med ''S single-handed ball kicked off and eventually shook hands with his opponent.


    Aldrich¡¯s work has been really busy recently. In addition to the team¡¯s training and games, he held secret meetings with sponsors, club seniors and other people. The content of the discussions in the same period last year was roughly the same.


    Golden Globe.


    Millwall rallied Larson last season, and this year there was little discussion of differences, and the first choice must be Nedved.


    Larsson¡¯s annual goals have declined, and he has been injured from the beginning of the new season. The other main members who helped Millwall win the European Championship last season, especially the offensive players, Trezeguet and Shevchenko Already leaving the team, Millwall wants to fully pack the Golden Globe competitor.


    With 98 years as the time period, Nedved''s club data crowns all European midfielders!


    In all the competitions he participated in, as of November, he has scored 27 goals and 20 assists. Especially in the first half of the year, Millwall scored a key goal in the European War. Wall is the number one hero on top of Europe.


    His valuation has exceeded 20 million pounds. This is a comprehensive assessment, not an actual transfer value. If other clubs will sell players like Nedved, they will at least ask for more than 30 million pounds. The sky-high price, and Millwall''s label on Nedved from beginning to end is not for sale!


    Similar to the operation in the same period last year, Millwall began to propagate through traditional and emerging media networks, highlighting Nedved¡¯s annual performance, and then let the ball critics talk about Nedved¡¯s performance and contributions. De Verde became the focus of Europe.


    In the thirteenth round of the Premier League, Millwall ushered in the powerful Leicester City at home, and he once again had a direct dialogue with Martin O''Neill''s team.


    This game makes Audridge feel very painful, because after Martin O''Neill has Tony + GoodJohnson, the tactics of playing the strong team is simpler.


    7 player defense + 3 player attack.


    Leicester City has performed well for two consecutive years, which has attracted the attention of the midstream and downstream teams, so Martin O¡¯Neal began to have a headache when playing a weak team, but he played the strong team, but he was more calm and his team was unable to attack. The counterattack is blunt.


    After 90 minutes, the two teams drew 1:1.


    Aldrich really began to miss Pirlo, who was in the midfield and dispatched the spectacle...

 Chapter 364： People can kill

    After the game against Leicester City, Odridge invited O''Neill to chat in the office.


    He opened a bottle of good wine, and the two sat on the sofa with emotions.


    "The idea before the season is still naive. Leicester City''s capital wants to make a difference in the Premier League. The difficulty is not ordinary. Even if the players maintain their concentration and devote themselves to the game, poor strength is not morale. Make up."


    O''Neill was drinking, full of bitterness.


    Aldridge nodded in agreement. Leicester City''s performance in the new season is polarized. The strong team has a good record and basically does not fall off. However, it is unfortunate for the weak team and it is extremely difficult to win.


    When the weak team is more defensive in the face of Leicester City, even if Leicester City has the Tony + Goodjohnson combination, it is still weak.


    Once attacked by opponents, Leicester City''s overall defensive strength is not as good as the opponent''s striker.


    "Yeah, you want to bring Leicester City to the Premier League First Group. I''m honestly speaking, basically impossible, Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, even Leeds United, the lineup is better than Leicester. City is stronger. The strength of a team depends first on the player''s personal ability, although not absolute, like Tottenham and Everton in the past two years, the lineup is not bad, but unfortunately the team can not be combined. Lecce Sturt City is a good striker. It is okay to play in the Premier League. You can score enough goals to limit the attack in the middle and lower reaches. Basically, there is no problem. However, the more you go to the standings, the more important is defense. Of course, the team that can be in the forefront must have no problem with offense. The rest will be better than whose defense, who can suppress competitors in key battles."


    O''Neill thought about it, suddenly came to interest, asked Odric for a tactical book, and began to discuss tactics with him.


    Aldridge was also very happy. The game was over. He didn''t want to go home for the time being. Someone could chat more and pass the time.


    O''Neill mainly discussed with Aldridge about the midfielder.


    This man¡¯s coaching ability is unquestionable. When Ferguson announced his retirement several times in history, O¡¯Neal was a successor of the successor, but for the first time he chose to go to the high school Scottish Celtics, and the second time he was still in With the Celtics in charge, Ferguson repented himself.


    O''Neill specifically mentioned two teams, one is Arsenal and the other is the new team World Cup champion France team.


    The two teams have a midfielder and one has no midfielder.


    Aldridge told O''Neill very calmly, in fact, the only difference between the two teams'' tactics is that Arsenal weakened the offensive midfield, fast break by the side, and the French team weakened the front line.


    The same points are the same, with double backs.


    The goal is clear: to strengthen defense.


    And this is the future trend. It¡¯s not that people don¡¯t want to see talented front waists performing magical football skills, but that in the context of more and more utilitarian football, the defense of a single midfielder is really not reassuring. Understand, if the opponent has a super midfielder, how high will the one-on-one success rate be against his own single midfielder? The barrier in front of the guard line is almost useless.


    Arsenal don''t need a front waist, they are attacking the sidelines, and someone is in the middle of the middle to give a response.


    The French team weakened the front line, it can be said that they are 4231,433, or 451, and the double back is to **** Zidane from the world.


    O¡¯Neal¡¯s tactics didn¡¯t have a front midfielder before. He counterattacked and stepped forward. However, now that he¡¯s fighting in a positional battle, he has drained his front midfielder again, but the effect is very unsatisfactory, especially if he doesn¡¯t have a good front midfielder. When he lost the ball while organizing an attack, his line of defense was crumbling.


    Aldrich gave him the idea to consider using the unilateral flying wings common in Italy. That is to say, the double back waist remains unchanged, plus a front waist, plus a full-back, the attack focuses on one side, when defending, the front waist association The defense against retreat is relatively balanced in at least the system.


    The small team, who can¡¯t afford to fly on both wings and has no good players, can only look at the food. The offensive power is weaker, but at least it won¡¯t be beaten without tears.


    He and O''Neill discussed until 9pm, and then the two went out to dinner together, still discussing tactics at the table.


    After the league, another week of doubles was ushered in. Millwall went to the European War and ushered in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage at Wembley. The opponent was the Austrian champion Graz.


    In the last round of 7-ball slaughter of opponents, and then against each other, Aldridge sent a lot of young players and said lightly at the pre-match press conference: Millwall can declare the team''s success as long as he wins this game again By the way, the game is not difficult. I will send a lot of young players to let them get exercise.


    Aldrich did what he said and directly announced the starting list.


    Goalkeeper: Keller.


    Defenders: Ferreira, Neil, Ferdinand, Ashley Cole.


    Midfielder: Pedretti, Gattuso, Lampard.


    Flanking: Van der Med, Glenn Charles.


    Forward: Klose.


    This is no longer a substitute lineup, and three strange names have entered the media.


    Two full-backs Ferreira and Cole appeared in the UEFA Champions League at a young age, and Pedretti has long been named as Markle Claire.


    Fleet Street reporters familiar with Millwall smirked in their hearts.


    Hall is too bad!


    Defiance of opponents, and indeed sent a young lineup, looks like a precursor to arrogance against the enemy.


    But look at his starting lineup.


    This **** is 451!


    All three backs can fight and grab, this Nima is to lure the opponent to hook to attack.


    Graz had no hope of qualifying anyway. He lost three consecutive games in the group stage, and he was defeated in shame at home. He came to the road and was a bit of a routine.


    But they came to London to prepare for battle.


    The London media showed that Millwall wanted to win, and it was a despising lineup that used 2 teams + 3 teams to piece together.


    Shishi can not be humiliated!


    Grass your whole family, Millwall!


    The Austrian champion was furious.


    In Wembley, anti-guests are dominant, and the offensive is fierce.


    Unfortunately, this is exactly what Millwall wants to see, and is also the purpose of Aldridge''s pre-match remarks and announcement of the starter.


    He sat on the coach''s seat and dragged his chin to watch the game. Just four minutes into the first half, Graz, who was extremely motivated, was defeated by Millwall''s wing.


    Pedretti succeeded in stealing the ball before the penalty area and counterattacked the ball. Ferreira also did not make any ink.


    Van der Meide handsomely and swiftly stopped the defender who had passed the opponent, and then a straight ball was handed over to Klose who succeeded in the offside.


    Klose did not live up to the expectations of his teammates. The single-handed ball calmly pushed the far corner and the score was rewritten. Millwall led 1:0.


    The number of fans entering today has declined.


    After all, the last round of 7 goals slaughtered Graz, and fans of the crazy lion almost agreed that the second round of fighting was also a mere abuse.


    The process of the game also looks like a dishonour, but it is inseparable from the psychological warfare of Aldridge.


    If Graz doesn''t take the initiative to attack, it will take a lot of hard work to attack and fight hard. People are the second-tier league champions anyway. Really defensive, Millwall is not half of the main force. Can the game be stable?


    Graz didn''t feel discouraged after losing the ball and continued to attack.


    Thirteen minutes later, Glencharr alone broke through the two in the counterattack, and made a two-on-one match with Klose before the penalty area to counter-offside the ball and sent the ball into the goal.


    "Glenchard also scored! Millwall opened the lead with two goals in less than 20 minutes. This looks like a slaughter again. Millwall''s youth storm continues to continue, even if we are all familiar with the grid. Lenchar, now only 21 years old! Will Pedretti, Ferreira, Cole, and Millwall''s three young debut young players in the future become the mainstay of the mad lion?"


    When Grenchar and Klose embraced, Aldridge stood up. He walked to the sidelines and called Lampard, allowing him to play the role of B2B (restricted area to restricted area) in the premise of counterattack.


    A few words of confession were enough. Aldridge turned his head to search for the figures of Ashley Cole and Paul Ferreira. They did not see them in the backcourt until they looked at the celebrating crowd.


    Good guy, Glenn Charles scored in the opponent''s penalty area, and both fullbacks rushed from their own penalty area to participate in the celebration...


    As they walked back, Aldridge pointed his finger at the two, and then waved.


    Call the two in front of them and tell them to boldly advance to participate in the offense in the next game, just as they did in training.


    Graz¡¯s players and coaches almost burst into tears. Looking at Aldridge¡¯s posture, he didn¡¯t plan to stop.


    Graz started a little counseling. Two goals behind reminded them of the match they had half a month ago. That was a nightmare. Will it be repeated today?


    They began to shrink their formation, set up fences, and consciously focused on Glencharr and Van der Med, as well as Klose who scored.


    Aldridge foresaw this, so he allowed players who had both midfield and backcourts to come forward and support.


    Before the end of the first half, Lampard inserted a long shot and was saved by the goalkeeper. Klose followed up to make up the shot and expanded the score to 3:0.


    In the second half, Aldridge used Glenn Duff to remove Glennshire, and Henry also replaced Van der Med.


    However, in the second half, the opponent defended more firmly, and the danger in front of the door continued, but he relied on the human wall to protect the city gate, and the final score was fixed at 3:0.


    At the end of the game, Aldridge took the initiative to walk and shake hands with the opponent''s coach, but the opponent was angrily angry, thinking that Aldridge was humiliating him, and left.


    Aldridge showed a very helpless expression, had to shake hands with the assistant of the opposing coaching staff, and then twisted into the player channel.


    "Champions League defending champion Millwall is unstoppable, with four wins in the group stage, and they have two games left. In the next round they will go to Moscow to challenge Moscow Sparta. The last game will welcome Inter Milan at Wembley. Millwall, who holds 12 points, basically announced that he will advance to the knockout. Unless they lose in the next two games, they may not be able to miss the knockout, but the probability is not great. Considering the points of other teams, 12 points should get the best. Of the group¡¯s second place, especially their advantage in goal difference is too great."


    In an interview after the game, Aldridge changed his face before the game and highly praised the Austrian champion Graz. Yeah, the game is over. At least it is impossible to meet again in the next six months. Aldrich will of course give The other party has enough respect, and the gesture of contempt before the game is nothing more than to win the game.


    The reason why Aldridge did not send the main force in this Champions League game is very obvious. Fleet Street does not need to know to ask: nourish the spirit and prepare for the London Derby!


    Just three days later, Millwall is heading to West London to challenge Chelsea, the leader of the Premier League standings, at Stamford Bridge!

 Chapter 365： Mourners

    After many years of continuous investment, Chelsea has been listed as a member of the championship group since this season. Although it is the bottom of the popular team, as the league is about to reach halfway, people begin to realize that Bay Ci''s investment gradually paid off.


    Chelsea won the European Cup Winners'' Cup last season. Once this champion was taken, the team''s temperament was different. With the addition of Deseli, a player who has just won the World Cup, Chelsea seemed to start on the road to the rich and handsome. March forward.


    The competition for the First Group in the Premier League is very fierce.


    Millwall has slipped to the fourth place in the standings following the draw after the European League.


    But they are only 2 points away from the first place Chelsea, and only 1 point away from Manchester United and Arsenal.


    Chelsea fans began to raise their eyebrows. They reached the top of the standings. The goal now is to sit firmly in the seat and then continue until the end of the season. If possible, they are more willing to end the Premier League now.


    After noon, the crowds outside Stamford Bridge were crowded. Millwall fans and Chelsea fans faced off in a chamber. Both fans were very arrogant and humiliated each other in their words.


    Chelsea fans shouted: Who is the leader now?


    Millwall fans responded: Did Chelsea win Millwall in the past three seasons?


    In fact, the fans on both sides are very depressed.


    Chelsea fans were stabbed in the soft underbelly, shit, they beat Manchester United, slaughtered Arsenal, beat Liverpool, and he didn''t even get a bargain on the crazy lion, not to mention winning, even the draw seemed extremely difficult.


    Millwall fans have to admit that Chelsea now has the capital to compete in the Premier League. After 13 rounds of the league, the opponent can occupy the top position, which in itself is enough to explain the problem.


    Even King Aldridge in their hearts said frankly at the pre-match press conference: Chelsea is strong! Very strong!


    This left reporters puzzled.


    Right?


    Just three months ago, at the European Super Cup, Audrey was another statement.


    At that time, he belittled Chelsea and despised each other, thinking that the Premier League''s title fight had nothing to do with Chelsea.


    Three months later, the handsome man''s face was a bit red. Was it played by Chelsea?


    Reporters don¡¯t think so. There are still 25 rounds in the league. Chelsea now has a fart on the top of the list. The gap with the following four teams is one ball. Even Leeds United can overtake in one ball. they.


    Recalling that Millwall just double-played the Austrian champion Graz in the middle of the week, Aldridge used psychological tactics, and the outside world agreed that Aldridge still used the unskilled aggressive method.


    The difference is that it irritated each other, but now, he pays attention to kill each other.


    Doesn''t Chelsea want to be recognized by the outside world?


    The new Champions League champion Millwall and his rivals admit that you are very strong. At Stamford Bridge, does Chelsea play conservatively?


    After hearing Aldrich''s remarks, Viali pointed out bluntly: Hall is good at psychological warfare, his purpose is well known to everyone, and he wants to make Chelsea confused, we will not be fooled!


    Before the game started, when Aldridge walked out of the player''s channel and put his hands in the pockets of the slim coat, he walked silently toward the coach of the visiting team. Chelsea fans in the nearby stands launched a fierce attack on him, boos, clamoring, roaring, middle finger... No one tried to attack him, after all, the consequences will be very serious.


    After Millwall and Wimbledon were investigated by the FA for the safety of the stadium, the Premier League launched another wave of court safety sweeps. Fans watching the ball can insult and mock their opponents in the stands, but they must not have physical contact. If the opponent is physically abused, the FA''s ticket will be super heavy!


    Ears lingered in foul language that greeted the whole family, Aldridge looked as usual.


    The pace walked steadily to the open space in front of the coach''s seat. Aldridge half-turned to face the court, his hands pulled out of his pockets, crossed and folded on his chest, and stared indifferently at Stamford Bridge.


    "The fourteenth round of the Premier League focus war is about to begin. Hello everyone. I am Martin Taylor. I am with my friend Andy Gray to explain the war between the dead in London. Andy, who do you like? "


    "Chelsea has gained momentum since the new season and they have reached the top of the standings, but I still like Millwall."


    "Why? Hall¡¯s team did not perform well after the European War, either hard to win or a draw. Although they have not lost the new season, they did not perform as expected. Hall claimed to be They are competing for the league trophy, but they obviously haven''t got the momentum that the winners should have, and they always lose points on the weak players to get the league championship."


    "I don''t agree with you very much. Hall''s team has undergone a major exchange in the new season. Many newcomers have become the main force. It is normal for their status to fluctuate. Plus they want to play in the Champions League and play two consecutive games in four days. It''s a tough test for the team, but I think the good factor is that although they only played in the Champions League a few days ago, the team played in Wembley, and Hall rested most of the main players for today''s game. They will not be affected by double-line combat today, and there is a trend that we should realize. Hall needs time to train the team. I think this Millwall is currently in an uptrend. If they are before March next year Being able to stabilize performance at a high level, Millwall will enter a stage of full-scale outbreak."


    "That''s about three or four months later, but what about today''s game?"


    "This will test Hall''s ability, but this does not seem to cause people to worry too much, he has always surprised us at such moments."


    "So what do you think Millwall will do today?"


    "Defense to counterattack. After all, Chelsea has become strong, and it is an away game. Millwall strives not to lose the ball. When Chelsea can''t shoot for a long time, it will expose the defense loopholes. Millwall is also good at having a wide space. Fight back."


    "Oh, Millwall defeated Chelsea in this way, it seems that Hall is going to reappear.


    Players from both sides are on the stage.


    "Chelsea started today with 442.


    Goalkeeper: De Huye.


    Defenders: Freire, Deseli, Le Bove, Le Saux.


    Midfielders: Petrescu, Di Matteo, Boyette, Wise.


    Forwards: Flo, Zola.


    Millwall started 4231 today.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.


    Midfielders: Makelele, Lampard, Nedved.


    Forwards: Henry, Van Nistelrooy, Ronaldinho.


    The French striker Henry, who bought Millwall for ¡ê10 million in the summer, finally ushered in his first start. He had a short bench time in the middle of the week and his performance was dull. Hall made him debut in today''s game. I don''t know if this striker will surprise people. "


    Under the intense attention of 40,000 fans at Stamford Bridge, the London Derby Wars started.


    Vialli stood on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets, Chelsea took the top spot in the standings, he was naturally proud, and looked at Audridge not far away, Vialli said: I will not be fooled again!


    In Viali¡¯s memory, he was most impressed by the first game he coached. Last season¡¯s League Cup final, he did not help the team to win the game, plus the European Super Cup defeat before the season However, Viali was not convinced. His team lost to Millwall twice in the final, but both lost to the opponent''s counterattack.


    Isn''t Millwall the three axe?


    Counterattack, speed, forward insertion.


    Today Chelsea is mainly stable!


    Before the season, Millwall, who made a bold statement to win the Premier League championship, is now ranked fourth in the standings. It is them who are anxious!


    Viali¡¯s tactical purpose today is very clear. Consumption with Millwall depends on who can afford it. If the other party wants to fight back, we will see who can¡¯t hold it first.


    With static defense, Chelsea''s defense will not be easily penetrated.


    But at the beginning of the game, Viali suddenly felt caught off guard.


    Is Millwall conservative today?


    not at all!


    When the referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game, Millwall players were more like beasts in clothes, and they started a crazy rush in the midfield.


    Before Chelsea predicted that Millwall would play a defensive counterattack, this prediction was completely miscalculated.


    Lampard Ganedved entangled two opposing midfielders. Behind him was Makelele¡¯s cutting the striker¡¯s connection with the midfielder. Ronaldinho and Henry were on the wing and the defender. Wing forward, such a high-pressure **** is very risky, because once the opponent passes the ball to the forward, it is a situation where the front line is against the back line, and the teammates may not even have time to fill the position.


    But Chelsea didn''t expect the opponent to be so fierce. He was caught off guard by surprise. The midfielder couldn''t control the ball. He could only pass back. Fanny harassed the opponent''s back line, forcing the opponent to play the ball. Clearing the ball, in the midfield and backcourt, Makelele grabbed the ball in front of Zola and stopped the ball, then passed the ball to Ronaldinho in the frontcourt.


    Ronaldinho took the ball to the inside line, and then made a two-on-one match with Nedved. He broke through the opponent''s backline and faced the defender line directly. Fanny was ready to counter offside, Leberf went to mark, Ronaldinho Crossing to the right, Henry also pressed to the middle. After Lerboff went to the guard, Henry took the ball directly from the rib into the penalty area.


    Dribbling to the top corner of the penalty area, he already had a chance to shoot, Deseli moved over and snatched close, Henry knocked back to the middle, Nedvide who was facing the ball was a kick Heavy shelling.


    Chelsea, who is fully defensive in the middle, has no way to face this shot.


    De Jouy hit the ball on the ground, but the power was too great, and the ball reflected and flew into the goal.


    "In the first three minutes, Millwall made his first goal as a guest! The goal scorer was their spiritual leader, Nedved! Unexpectedly, so unexpectedly, who said Millwall would play conservatively? Their opening gesture was extremely aggressive, Such a high-pressure forced tactic is risky. Once the opponent partially tears the defense line, the rear defense line may face the danger of playing less and fighting more, but Millwall¡¯s adventurous spirit has paid off, and Chelsea is very uncomfortable with the other party¡¯s madness. Pressed, after the ball was released to the opponent, Millwall immediately penetrated the goal through the team cooperation. Millwall led 1:0 away!"


    Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge were numb, and even many fans showed sad faces.


    I don''t know why, they just have a feeling of powerlessness, or despair.


    Their foe, Millwall, the 11 foe players on the field, where are they like players?


    It''s more like a ghost who is dying!


    Aldridge, who stood by the side with a chin on his chin and smiled, was more like a mourner who sounded the death knell.


    Many Chelsea fans have an unwilling thought in their hearts: **** lion, when and how can we beat them!

 Chapter 366： Are you fooled?

    When Nedved rushed to the visiting team''s stand to celebrate, he glanced to the sidelines, Ronaldinho, Fanny, Henry three followed with a dashing kneeling to celebrate "kneeling" taxiing.


    On the stands of the visiting team fans, every mad lion fan waved his fists excitedly, cheering the players while thinking about how to mock the Chelsea fans next.


    Are you crazy, leader of the standings?


    You will be behind us after 90 minutes!


    The Chelsea players were a bit stunned after hitting the ball.


    Damn it, why did Millville lose the ball again?


    Viali clenched his teeth on the sidelines and turned his head to look at Aldridge with a chuckle. He has to say that in the position of head coach, no head coach in the Premier League can remain relaxed when looking at Aldridge. .


    Some coaches will be suspicious, while others have no idea, and Viali is shocked.


    Is Chelsea throwing the ball back by the opponent?


    Not really, because Chelsea''s free ball didn''t pull the offense at all, Millwall was just launching a fast break.


    And this goal is the opportunity created by Millwall''s crazy forcing.


    Will Millwall only play defensive counterattacks?


    To make a joke, anti-anti-revolution is just the basis for a strong team to settle down. After two thousand years of the Premier League, even the mid- and downstream teams have super-strong counter-attack capabilities, playing fast, playing the defense line when attacking and defending!


    Millwall has many skills.


    Especially for opponents who do not deliberately strengthen their defense, they have a lot of room to play.


    Milwall¡¯s fighting spirit is very high today, especially the offensive combination.


    Van Nistelrooy, who wanted to prove himself, chased Nedved, who was never satisfied with his victory, Henry, who fought hard to fight, and Ronaldinho, who was full of enthusiasm.


    Chelsea kicked off again, and after they kicked off, Millwall''s offensive player threw himself up again to furiously snatch.


    Chelsea''s players are very puzzled, the opponent is leading, and still grab so fierce?


    In this situation of high pressure, Chelsea''s offensive advancement has become very difficult. The time for the controlling team to process the ball is very short. Once the ball is not found to be empty, it will mess up.


    Nedved succeeded in stealing Di Matteo and immediately handed the ball to Ronaldinho. The latter then scored a goal and went straight to the rib of the penalty area. Henry defeated Le Saux with speed and at the bottom line Before catching a cross from nearby, Fanny had already made a shot, but Deseli was the first to make the clearance!


    Mo said that the Chelsea players on the field, even the Chelsea fans in the stands were shocked by the cold sweat.


    Ronaldinho ran to take a corner kick, he deliberately drove the ball forward, Henry rushed to meet the landing point, and then headed to ferry, his choice was unexpected, the ball flew over the Chelsea generals, just In the middle of the goal, a figure jumped high, the head hit the ball fiercely, Dehuye raised his hand subconsciously to stop it, but the ball flew between his arms, hanging upright on the goal net.


    "2:0! Millwall scored a two-ball lead in just 13 minutes after the opening. Henry, who made his first show, assisted his teammates in scoring. This time it was central defender Materazzi who sent the ball to the Chelsea gate. After Henry''s header ferry, Materazzi was unmarked. He easily put the ball into the goal. Millwall played fiercely on the road today. Will Stamford Bridge usher in another disaster?"


    While Matrazzi was celebrating, Aldridge smiled.


    Chelsea did not expect that Millwall would be the main player here. In the past three matches, Millwall always controlled the rhythm slowly, either to fight the opponent to counterattack, or to drag down the opponent''s physical fitness first, and won Chelsea before the game. So high, Viali said that he would not be fooled, really not fooled?


    After the opening, Chelsea apparently kicked fearfully, fearing Millwall''s counterattack, but did not expect Millwall''s momentum to resemble a rainbow. He would devour them like a mountain tiger!


    Chelsea, who trailed by two goals, tried to speed up the tempo to quickly score the goal. The tactics of Millwall''s crazy **** did not change, but after 15 minutes of Chelsea, the whole team became familiar with Millwall''s tactics of snatching. The players took the initiative to respond to the ball. The enthusiasm is obviously increased, and in order to seek stability, there is no outgoing spot in front, immediately pass back, and never let yourself fall into the trapped situation.


    The game was bogged down in a slightly dull scene, but Chelsea''s situation was getting better bit by bit.


    In the 27th minute, Poyet tried to send Zola a cannonball, but the ball was accurately broken by Southgate. After the ball was broken, Southgate directly drove the ball to the left.


    Ronaldinho controlled the ball with a beautiful outside-foot unloading technique when the ball was about to come out of the sideline. He didn''t wait for Petrescu to **** from behind and he started at high speed.


    When Di Matteo came to defend him, he dunked the ball in the high-speed dribble, then drew the ball to the front of the penalty area, stopped the pass in situ, Chelsea took a step back to prevent him from passing the ball. , But Ronaldinho hit the spot with no signs of effort.


    The moment the ball jumped from under his feet, Deseli and Lerberf were stunned. Leboff inadvertently used his head to block the flight path of the ball. Dehuye¡¯s vision was obstructed. When the ball crossed the sky in a wonderful arc As he entered his eyes, he moved one more step laterally, but stopped again, listening only to the most pleasant sound.


    when.


    The ball hit the goal post, but it hit the inside of the goal post and bounced into the goal.


    "Ronaldinho entered and scored! Damn! What a wonderful goal! What a gorgeous goal! After he took the ball from the sideline, he drove the ball all the way and passed Di Matteo, and again In front of the penalty area, he tricked Chelsea''s defender with fake moves. When everyone thought he would pass the ball, he kicked the ball in place and hit the ball in an arc. The speed of the ball was not fast, but the angle was tricky, it was definitely a dead end. After playing inside the goal post and scoring a goal, Dehuye looked at the ball! Ronaldinho, he is the next Ronaldo, no, he was originally called Ronaldo... Millwall''s strike line is more powerful than before. At least Shevchenko, Trezeguet, they couldn''t do this to get the ball into the goal, Ronaldinho''s threat was far greater than a simple forward! Millwall was less than 30 minutes from the start of the game They have scored three goals in a row, and now they are three goals away from Chelsea!


    Ronaldinho''s goal surprised the audience.


    The fans of the crazy lion opened their mouths after the goal appeared, and clapped hard after a long time. The fans nodded to each other, recalling the goal process just now, and praised Ronaldinho.


    Chelsea fans are reluctant to admit it, but they admire that goal deep down in their hearts.


    Ronaldinho scored a goal and then jumped into Samba with a smile on the sidelines. Teammates rushed over to wait for him to finish the dance and hugged him one by one. Teams like Nedved and Southgate Inner brother touched his head, and they laughed on their faces, marveling at the performance of the little brother from the heart.


    Aldrich looked at the Stamford Bridge stands with a stern look on the sidelines after scoring a goal!


    Although he was insulted by Chelsea fans when he walked into the court before the game, he was able to vent when the team led by three goals.


    This aroused a strong rebound from the fans of the home team. Some fans in the nearby stands even tried to cross the stands to find Aldridge''s real PK. The surrounding security guards quickly came to stop the fans who had lost their senses. Three fans were taken away directly by the stadium security staff.


    The fourth official and the referee also ran to stop Aldridge, not to hope that he would not provoke the home team fans, but to warn him directly.


    The referee said righteously to him: If you have any more aggressive behavior, I am sorry, I will ask you to leave the court, and will focus on recording this event in the game report!


    Aldridge was completely uneasy and walked back to the coach seat. Jenson and Klinsmann, who was sitting in the assistant position, talked enthusiastically about Ronaldinho¡¯s goal, and Klinsman marked the goal. The route, Jenson outlined the arc of the shot with his hand...


    After the players celebrated, Aldridge made a gesture to the players and the tactics were about to change.


    The players gave him consistent feedback, and Ronaldinho raised his hands to show his thumbs towards Aldridge.


    Originally in the planned pre-match plan, Millwall''s high-pressure **** tactics were only played for 30 minutes in the first half. Few teams can maintain a 90-minute high-pressure **** at the court. Even Guardiola''s space team is established. On the basis of ball control, go to high-pressure counter-robbing, unless Millwall''s all-round fighters can''t die, otherwise they have been forced to grab like this. After their physical fitness declines, they will encounter a strong counterattack from their opponents and be easily penetrated through the defense.


    Now the time point is just right, and the situation is not bad, three goals lead, you can play.


    Vial was a little pale, and he still refused to accept it!


    Millwall was too lucky today.


    In addition to the first ball he lost nothing to say, the next two lost the ball, one set ball, one is Ronaldinho''s personal performance, this **** as long as Chelsea''s luck is slightly better, it will not at all The scene of conceding a goal.


    And when Chelsea kicked off again, Viali really wanted to rush to find Aldridge heads-up.


    Malle Gobi, now Millwall is not going to grab in the midfield, and the formation is back to fight back!


    Fuck you uncle!


    Can''t you be so insignificant!


    If Viali can accuse Aldridge of being insignificant in person, Aldridge must sneer.


    Obscene?


    If Millwall was to be insignificant, he could set up a technical and tactical formation that made all Europe desperate.


    Six steel muscular men came to the defense, plus Nedved and three forwards, Henry, Ronaldinho, and Larson who returned to the team after the injury came back. Victory, but the defense absolutely despairs the strikers across Europe.


    It''s a pity that Aldridge doesn''t like that kind of play. It is too depressive of the talents of the players. The game is also monotonous. Especially when he meets a team that is also defensive, he will feel boring as a coach standing on the sidelines. Perhaps the game will be dull. To die.


    After thirty minutes of crazy rushing, Millwall took the initiative to shrink and fight back. This was a change made for the physical fitness of the audience. In this way, Chelsea fell behind by three goals but got a chance to breathe.


    Within five minutes of restarting the game, Chelsea kept the ball and finally eased up. In the case of no siege in the midfield and backcourt, the players were relieved from the tension and were able to play more calmly.


    It''s just that Chelsea fans in the stands seemed to be discouraged, with a sad face, they couldn''t see the possibility of the team defeating Millwall.


    Millwall scored three consecutive goals in half an hour and hit Chelsea too hard.

 Chapter 367： First-line life

    Thirty minutes of high pressure at the opening was a tactical choice for Audridge before the game. This choice made Millwall receive a surprising return.


    But thirty minutes later, when Millwall took the initiative to shrink, the choice seemed not as good as expected.


    The outside world is saying that Chelsea has become stronger. Where is it?


    Does the lineup just look strong?


    Of course not. There are so many teams that buy stars every year, but there are too many records that are in a mess.


    The most obvious Chelsea promotion is offensive!


    Since 1995, Chelsea''s league goals have been increasing every year. From the middle of the league, the offensive firepower has risen all the way. Last season, it was the second-ranked team in the offensive firepower of the league, second only to Manchester United. 73 Goals, they scored 71 goals, more than Millwall, of course, Millwall focused on the European War last season, the offensive firepower in the league has declined, which is obvious to the outside world, plus defense Ability, so the outside world does not think Chelsea is a team within the top three of the championship group, but their offense has been greatly improved compared to the past few years is an undoubted fact.


    It¡¯s just that they haven¡¯t encountered a strong team¡¯s high-pressure forcing. Even if Manchester United is tough, they will not risk a forward formation. Arsenal are playing counterattack tactics. Only today¡¯s Millwall has caused Chelsea to encounter. Unprecedented pressure on looting.


    They regained their enthusiasm after losing three consecutive goals. Millwall''s contraction gave them room to stabilize their mentality and rhythm. When they could calmly pass through the midfield, their offensive advantage began to manifest.


    This is not difficult to understand. Chelsea¡¯s main lineup has been relatively stable over the years. Even if there are changes in each season, it is also stronger. For example, Flo replaces Mark Hughes, who is close to retirement, Frere replaces Clark, Deseli Replace Duberg and so on.


    As long as after a period of running-in, confirm that the new and old players can cooperate together, then the team''s combat power will immediately appear.


    In the 34th minute of the game, Boyette took a long shot with Lampard outside the penalty area, and the ball flew out of the bottom line against the beam.


    There was a sigh of loss in the stands of Stamford Bridge, but soon the fans applauded the team.


    Three goals behind, Chelsea fans are estimated to have no hope of reversing the score or equalizing, but at home playing Millwall, if they do not score a goal, this face will be lost to grandma''s house.


    Enter one, **** one!


    At least don¡¯t even lose your dignity!


    The bearded Bates in the VIP stands is as black as carbon. He is a chairman who likes to show his head. When he looked ahead at the game before the game, he said in a big way: Chelsea has surpassed Millwall in a comprehensive way. The difference between us is only honor. , But in the not too distant future, Chelsea can also be far ahead on this point.


    When Chelsea Village, which he invested heavily in, started to receive returns after the team''s record improved, he can''t wait to announce that this painstakingly built "Roma" can have a place in English football and European football.


    But at this point in the game, the live shots were frequently aimed at Bates, seemingly mocking.


    Compared with Chelsea¡¯s large loan investment, whether it is English football or European football, people appreciate Millwall¡¯s successful model. Aldridge¡¯s team has invested heavily in the construction of youth teams. It is no exaggeration to say that In the past four and a half years, Millwall''s investment in youth training has far exceeded that of the first team.


    When analyzing the success of Millwall, youth training is always regarded as one of the important factors. Because of the success of Millwall youth training, there is only the guarantee of the success of the first team, and it is more expensive than many teams to introduce excellent players. Risk is lower.


    The English Football Association has also changed its tone. They used to thank Chelsea because Chelsea can bring the late-night superstars to strengthen the attractiveness of the Premier League and increase the visibility of the English football.


    But now, they hope that other teams refer to Millwall''s business model, invest rationally, and focus on youth training, especially the cultivation of local players.


    Millwall rushed out of the outstanding local players such as Lampard, Ferdinand, etc., is a great hope for the English football, not to mention Joe Cole in the youth team, such good youngsters like Carrick waiting to grow Pick the girder.


    Bates didn''t say a word in the stands. He was probably still fortunate about his wise decision. At the time of the game, Arthur sent a text message to ask if Chelsea had a box. He wanted to watch the ball with him.


    Bates responded wisely, deleting the text message and shutting down.


    Otherwise, it may be ridiculed by the old rogue at this time.


    Under Chelsea''s main attack, Millwall''s counterattack was even sharper.


    When Wise passed Floo''s header and was taken into the arms by Bout, Bout directly rushed to the side of the penalty area with the ball, then vigorously tossed the ball to Schneider who ran forward from the right road at high speed Under German feet.


    After Schneider took the ball, he no longer dribble, but chose a direct pass. Henry responded to the striker. After taking the ball, he directly chose inward. The speed of the wind and the power could not be stopped. When the stands Chelsea fans felt worried When the team missed the fourth ball, Henry''s straight ball outside the penalty area didn''t expect to go with Fanny. Fanny wanted to get the ball, Henry gave the ball, Henry gave the ball and Lerberf caught up with the ball easily. Passed the ball to Frere.


    Fanny and Henry looked at each other, Fanny pointed at his feet, Henry sighed helplessly.


    Tacit understanding is not enough.


    After all, Henry returned to the team after recovering from injury and played too few official games. This is his second appearance, the first start. Like his first assist for Nedved, the ball is very safe. Nedved runs forward. Position, he passed the ball in front of Nedved, ten in a row.


    But this counter-attack, whether to pass the ball under the foot or a straight ball, the choice seems to be 55 open, without a tacit understanding between teammates, it is prone to pass errors.


    Without waiting for Millwall to lament an excellent counterbalanced counterattack, Chelsea''s defense was successful, and right-back Friel took the ball forward.


    Ronaldinho was originally sandwiching Petrescu, but Friel did not pass the ball forward, he could only go forward and harassed. After all, Frel still passed the ball, just at the moment Ronaldinho grabbed, He passed the ball behind Ronaldinho.


    Petrescu dribble the ball in a 45-degree pass, Flo grabs the point, and header is put into the back of Poyet. The latter seems to have to take a long shot again, and Makelele comes to him. Blocking the shot space, but Poyet chose to pass again when the ball fell.


    He wanted to pass the ball back to Flo, but when the ball passed the ball hit Makelele''s leg, the ball changed direction, and the ghost rolled to Zola.


    Southgate defended head-on, Zola pulled the ball at 45 degrees and turned and then forward. Southgate faced this small clever opponent, plus the ball rolled unexpectedly and stretched his foot a step slower , Zola wiped him out and faced the goal from a small angle!


    "Zola takes a shot, but Bout has done a good job! Wise made it up! Chelsea pulled one before the end of the first half!"


    Bute fell to save Zola''s shot, but Wise, who was inserted at the start of the attack, was just in front of the goal line and made a shot to send the ball into the goal.


    After Wise scored, he immediately hugged the ball and ran back, celebrating with Zola high-five on the road.


    Chelsea fans in the stands of Stamford Bridge are delighted.


    Not easy, and finally scored!


    Millwall¡¯s players were a little depressed about the goal and it was difficult to blame who had the problem.


    Aldridge akimbo on the sidelines, his face calm.


    He doesn''t blame the players, this kind of ball-losing offender can''t be held in the heart.


    If Millwall finished the counterattack just now, the score would be 0:4, not 1:3.


    It''s not that Millwall has a problem with defense, but Chelsea''s offense has been strong to a certain degree.


    Millwall faced the middle and lower reaches of the team, if it is to play, to reduce the risk of being counterattacked by the other side, then Millwall guarantees that the probability of not dropping the ball is very high, almost 100%.


    In frontal defense of positional battles, the possibility of Millwall being attacked by the midstream and downstream teams is almost non-existent.


    But against the top seven teams in the league, even if Millwall is playing, there is a possibility that the opponent will penetrate the door. The stronger the opponent, the higher the probability. This is normal, unless he replaces all the players in the backcourt. Become a full-time defensive player.


    After losing the ball, the players'' mentality is still stable, there is no need to worry, and two goals lead.


    Hold on, don''t panic.


    They didn''t panic when they were two goals away when playing Inter, and now the score is still leading. Their mentality will not be affected too much.


    Chelsea pulled a goal back, morale recovered a lot, and the first half was about to end, but they refused to waste a minute and a second. As soon as Millwall kicked off, they all rushed to force it, Lampard decisively made a long pass. , Fanny carried Deseli on his back on the front line, the latter jumped the header to make a clearance, but the ball fell to Nedved''s foot again.


    Di Matteo grabbed Nedved for the first time, and the latter accelerated the start to get rid of Di Matteo.


    When Nedved brought the ball to the front of the penalty area, because he was a frontal impact, this attack benefited from Chelsea''s header. Deseli and Lebov were not in a good position. The two were parallel, so Desai Lee gave up Fanny and turned to force Nedved.


    As soon as he got into the game, Nedved chose to go straight behind him.


    Fanny took the ball and faced the goalkeeper with a single pole, pushing the ball easily to get started.


    But after scoring, Fanny heard the referee''s whistle, indicating that he was offside first.


    Fanny turned his head and looked at it, as the edgeman held the flag, indicating that he was offside.


    Lerberf just knew that Deseli just had to go up, and he would definitely be too late to stare at Fanny, so he chose to step forward and gamble!


    He bet on the win, the premise of his and Deseli''s position, when Nedved went straight, Fanny was just in the offside position, just a distance away.


    The fans in the stands were crazy.


    In fact, their hearts are now "fragile", as long as there is a penalty against them, they will feel oppressed. The game with Wimbledon hurt their hearts too much, as if there is a lingering Shadows shrouded in Xintian.


    Fannie''s goal was blown away, and the fans of the crazy lions booed to the referee with excitement.


    Aldridge accepts this reality calmly. He observes the game. Although it is impossible to see as clearly as the lineman, when Fanny ran out of position, he observed that Lebov moved forward. He waited for the midfield. Look at the replay during the break and confirm again. If there is a dispute, he will communicate with the head referee. After all, the head referee''s law enforcement is allowed to have errors.


    With the dangerous situation just now, Chelsea did not dare to attack too fiercely. After the first half of the game, there was no waves. Millwall entered the locker room with a two-ball advantage.


    The team pulled back one before the end of the first half, which made Viali look a lot better. He turned into the player''s channel with a dignified look. It seemed that the expectations placed on the second half were very large, and he deeply understood The game between Chelsea and Millwall is by no means an ordinary game, which may be more important than the championship!

 Chapter 368： The abyss after dawn

    After the halftime break, the two teams returned to the field to prepare for kick-off.


    Aldridge walked back to the position in front of the coach and stood in war.


    This is a gesture, he can sit on other teams, but playing Chelsea, especially Chelsea, who occupy the top position in the standings, he must send a signal to the players and fans: attitude towards the game!


    Although he doesn¡¯t necessarily mean he is underestimating who he is sitting on, standing on the sidelines and watching the game seriously is a powerful gesture.


    Millwall still contracted to fight back after the second half started, and Chelsea observed it for a while.


    After five minutes of play, Chelsea determined that Millwall was not overwhelmed, and they began to patiently organize the attack.


    Vialli was nervous on the sidelines. He was thinking about countermeasures. Millwall''s defense was solid. After shrinking, Chelsea attacked to play less. Once the space was compressed by the opponent in a small area, he would quickly lose the ball.


    After being counterattacked, the goal of his own home was rather loud.


    Aldridge was slightly disappointed on the sidelines, Lampard''s choice of the ball when he was transferred from the defense always dissatisfied him.


    Once in the sea, he was used to where Pirlo was pointing and where he was to catch his opponent''s seven inches to die. When he saw that Lampard''s timing and route selection did not reach the best, he was inevitable. Disappointment rose in my heart.


    This feeling made him think in a good direction, that is: let Barak go without regret.


    With Lampard, there is no need to accumulate so many people in the role of midfield organizer.


    This difference in player level is more evident in the counterattack.


    Hesitating for a second, maybe the single-pole ball becomes a half-single pole.


    The route is not the best, it can''t threaten the opponent''s goal most directly, maybe half a single-handedly becomes a positional battle.


    But it is undeniable that Lampard has grown up well enough. At least the success rate of the pass has reached a satisfactory level. What he needs to improve in the next stage is the overall situation and the reading ability of the game. When to plug in and what Time to retrace deeper defenses, when to make up for positions, when not to pass the ball and choose to be superior...


    Chelsea had to invest more offensive force to break Millwall''s defense in the positional battle, so the full-back started to plug in.


    But they did not dare to allow two full-backs to plug in at the same time and could only move forward with one assist.


    Freire reappeared, he stepped forward and did a two-on-one with Petrescu, passing Ronaldinho, but Zambrotta consciously pressed forward and snatched it, accurate when Petrescu turned to catch the ball The ball was broken and Ronaldinho was directly plugged.


    Ronaldinho made a fake move in place after pretending to get the ball, pretending to go outside and dribbling the ball laterally away from Frere, followed by a diagonal pass to find Nedved.


    Nedvide made a short pass for Fanny who retreated in front of him. Fanny then knocked the ball back to Ronaldinho. After Ronaldinho stopped the ball, an overpass passed diagonally into the penalty area. Henry kicked the ball and rushed to the header. Attacking the goal, the ball slightly missed the goal post.


    Henry closed his mouth with his hands folded, regretting wasting this great opportunity, and then he gave a thumbs up to Ronaldinho.


    De Huye quickly set the goal kick, kicked the ball to Deseli, Chelsea launched a fast break.


    Chelsea''s fast break was very pleasing to the front of the penalty area. From the backcourt, it moved forward quickly. The players cooperated with each other along the way and used the kick wall to tear the Milwall defense line.


    Before reaching the penalty area and finally facing Millwall''s defender line, Wise kicked the ball and handed the ball to Flo. The latter took the ball from the back and Materazzi did not give the opponent a chance to turn around. Flo He returned the ball to Poyet who inserted it.


    Makelele gave up Di Matteo and turned to intercept Poyet. Lampard was attracted by Wise, but Millwall clearly made a mistake on the defense line. Schneider had contracted to defend Wise, Lampa. Germany counted as a blow, but the middle road revealed a little empty.


    Boyet faced the ball and lifted his foot to shoot.


    A meteor-like trajectory appeared in the eyes of the audience.


    Bute flew to the end but failed to touch the ball. This foot ball can obliterate all goalkeepers, hanging the goal dead end, the world wave!


    "Boyet''s world wave! World wave! Chelsea pulled another one in the 58th minute of the second half, and now the score is 2:3, Chelsea is only one goal behind! This goal is extremely exciting. From the backcourt, Chelsea passed a series of short Passing the attack to the front of the penalty area, Poyet''s long-range shot penetrated Bout''s ten fingers. This ball can''t be changed for anyone, which can compete with Ronaldinho''s first half goal. This round, no, the best goal of the Premier League of the year!"


    Boyet''s goal detonated the passion of Stamford Bridge. Chelsea fans stood up and cheered. It seemed that the soul that had been drawn from the body in the first half returned to the body, giving them a new life.


    Chelsea fans waved their fists, clamoring for the team to work harder, harder!


    Viali was also infected by the atmosphere of the stadium and Poyet''s goal, or he got a chance to release his emotions.


    Faced with a powerful opponent like Millwall, no one can imagine his pressure.


    Viali jumped up and shouted his arms, then applauded the players, and excitedly returned the players to the position. Time is still, they have to equalize the score, no, not only equalize the score, but also reverse!


    Great reversal!


    Viali finally paid tribute to the stands, let the fans encourage the players more violently!


    Aldridge smiled bitterly with his hands on his hips after losing the ball.


    Not convinced!


    Millwall couldn''t score a header at close range, and the opponent''s world wave outside the penalty area left you speechless.


    Give Poyet another ten shots from the same position, he may not be able to score the ball, but this time he **** in!


    To say how sharp Chelsea''s previous series of cooperation was, Aldridge didn''t think that let Chelsea try to develop into the penalty area. The deadliest straight ball, did they have it? Are there any breakthroughs in the threat zone?


    Being beaten into the world wave is the most helpless thing for the head coach.


    Not even a venting gap can be found.


    Blame the Millwall players?


    No team can completely block the area within the first 35 yards of the penalty area. It is definitely a helpless shot to start a long shot. If you are sure to get closer to the goal and shoot again, who will take a long shot?


    However, after losing the ball with emotion, Aldridge made quick adjustments and replaced Van Nistelrooy with Van der Mead.


    After this substitution appeared, the Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge suddenly burst into flames.


    Millwall counseled!


    It seems to be the case, withdrawing a striker and replacing a full-back.


    Millwall''s formation changed from 433 to 451 or 442, at least it must be 451 when defending. After all, Nedved''s ability to run up and down is too strong.


    Viali¡¯s expression has become a bit daunting at this moment, full of confidence in the reversal, and Chelsea generals also have unlimited confidence.


    Aldridge regained his calmness on the sidelines.


    His substitution is a signal, and he doesn''t need to gesture to the players.


    It''s really time to lose the second goal.


    After the kick-off, the game has reached the 60th minute of the game.


    Aldridge secretly said: In the last 30 minutes, let''s try again!


    When Millwall kicked in, the Chelsea players furiously grabbed the ball and Frere broke the ball from the foot of Ronaldinho and immediately launched a fast break. Unfortunately, after seeing the equalization hope, they played a bit of adventure, long distance The long pass on the ground wanted to penetrate Millwall''s defense zone, which was whimsical. Makelele intercepted the pass from the opponent and passed it to Lampard. The latter almost closed his eyes and transferred the ball to the other side. At the feet of virtue.


    Henry moved from the winger to the center position and pulled the ball free. VanderMead cooperated with him. After two, the ball was handed over to the foot of Nedvide who came to the penalty area. The Czech was shot long-range. Dehouye made a lateral save.


    Chelsea''s ambition is to make a big reversal at Stamford Bridge, but when they hold the ball to attack, they suddenly find that Millwall''s tactics have changed again.


    The high-pressure **** is back!


    That''s right, Millwall''s tactical strategy today is to exert force in the first 30 minutes and the last 30 minutes of the game, with the opponent in the middle.


    Before the game, Aldridge''s idea was: as long as the goal is not to lose the ball, Chelsea will definitely not be satisfied with the draw. Then in the last thirty minutes, the opponent will play more risky, and Millwall will be more aggressive than the first thirty. Minutes are more threatening.


    As a result, he did not realize his idea in the game, but the reality is better than expected.


    Millwall lost the ball, but scored more. Now Chelsea is one goal behind, eager to equalize the score, and when organizing the offense is not as patient as in a draw, so the turnover rate will be greatly improved.


    Coupled with Millwall''s crazy rush, they suddenly fell into a panic.


    The ambition to equalize the score has not yet been realized, but his own line of defense is crumbling.


    Viali looked straight on the sidelines, and Chelsea fans in the stands were also worried.


    How did it happen?


    Obviously pulled back two goals, the opponent also withdrew a striker, how could he be beaten by the opponent!


    Millwall pressed the opponent''s attack from the 70th minute of the game. Chelsea even dared not pass the ball in the backcourt, fearing that he would be intercepted and then directly launch a second attack to penetrate the defense line.


    But their big foot clearance was controlled by Millwall''s back line, and they quickly launched a fast attack.


    The level of Millwall''s offense is very clear. It is the regional position that depends on the consistency of the team to cut the formation of Chelsea layer by layer, so as to force the opponent to dare to pass the ball within a small range when the high pressure is pressed.


    Henry couldn''t say that he couldn''t find a feeling in the center position, but moving to the center was a bit unsatisfactory, and even got the opportunity to kick the door and it was out of standard, and the rush to kick the foot seemed to lack confidence.


    But the performance of players in other positions is very reassuring.


    Millwall has accumulated advantages, constantly oppressing the nerves of the players who challenged Chelsea, threatening the opponent''s door after the success of consecutive snatches, and the offensive is higher than the wave.


    In the 84th minute of the game, Ronaldinho took the ball to the middle and crossed to Van der Meide, who then made a cross.


    The Chelsea player reached the ball, but the clearance was not far away. Lampard, who was inserted later, rushed forward in front of Di Matteo, stopped the ball with the chest to remove the ball, and then gave the ball to Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho Looking at the Sixth Road, one foot passed to the right side of the penalty area.


    After passing the ball over the top, Chelsea stared at Van der Mede on the left and stared at Van der Mede. The opponent did move forward before Ronaldinho''s pass, which attracted Le Saux''s defense.


    However, it was faster to kill a person from behind Van der Mede. Le Saux did not expect Schneider to come up with an assist to enter the penalty area. He could not distract him from marking Schneider, causing the latter to easily get the ball in the penalty area. Then, with a cross, Henry outflank the ball this time and pushes the ball through to get started!


    "Millwall completely suppressed Chelsea in the second half of the game. They scored again. The gap between the two teams returned to the distance of two goals. The goal was the transfer of the signing king in the history of Millwall Club. Henry! He performed very well today, with one goal and two assists, and Hall can sleep well, worth 10 million pounds!"


    Henry was very excited after scoring. This was not only his Premier League goal but also his first goal for Millwall.


    If it wasn''t for him wasting two golden opportunities before, he should have scored!


    Aldridge smiled and applauded on the sidelines, while Viali not far away was numb.


    When he and Chelsea saw the most dazzling dawn, Millwall covered their sky like a devil, and then thundered and threw them into the abyss of despair.

 Chapter 369： Three little starving ghosts

    In the final period of the game, although Chelsea slammed the counterattack, Millwall mastered the game rhythm through the skillful transmission and control technology, and did not give Chelsea even a chance to threaten his door.


    When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the match, Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge silently retired.


    Crazy Lions fans are cool from head to toe, more enjoyable than playing on their own to win the game.


    "London Derby focus battle, Chelsea lost Stamford Bridge to the rival enemies Millwall 2:4, they fell directly from the leader of the standings to fourth place, although Millwall won the ball, the ranking has only risen One, they are still one point behind Manchester United and Arsenal, but Hall should be satisfied and fans will be happy, at least Chelsea are already behind them."


    Aldridge took the initiative to go to Viali to shake hands. The opponent seemed to have suffered a huge blow. He stood there in a daze. After Aldridge approached, he patted the opponent''s arm and walked into the player''s channel without saying anything.


    At the press conference after the game, Audridge was asked whether the view of Chelsea had changed.


    He emphasized that Chelsea were extremely powerful before the game, but Millwall beat Chelsea away.


    Aldridge''s tone is unchanged, and he still claims that Chelsea is very strong.


    The higher Chelsea is, the more valuable Millwall''s victory is, and it proves that Millwall is stronger from the side.


    If Chelsea were to be devalued, Millwall''s victory seemed to be greatly reduced.


    In the locker room, the players were praised for their performance today, and then the team returned by bus to East London, where they disbanded.


    After returning home, Aldridge changed into casual clothes, jeans, T-shirt and windbreaker. The sky was dark. He wandered to the door of the community, where three teenagers wearing casual clothes were chatting together.


    De Rossi talked eloquently about Ronaldinho¡¯s goal in the game today and said, "Did you see him buckle the opponent¡¯s action? The rhythm is too good to grasp the right side, forcing the opponent to focus. Leaning, then suddenly the ball broke through from the left side, and it was the same before the shot. He stopped to pretend to pass, Chelsea''s back line was startled, and he reflexively intercepted his outgoing route. It was just a shot. The arc ball was actually very common. I used to watch him train before. This kind of ball is commonplace."


    Both Messi and Aguero raised their heads and looked up at De Rossi, as if listening to a "senior senior" commenting on the ball.


    After De Rossi finished speaking, his face was smug, as if he had gained knowledge of these two boys.


    Aguero said crisply, "I can also score that goal. Yesterday, I played four games against the primary school team in the southern community."


    Messi scratched his head and said softly: "I entered five."


    De Rossi frowned: "How many games did you play?"


    Aguero said with a sneer: "They ran before they even played."


    "90 minutes of a game?"


    "Uh, 40 minutes, 20 minutes each in the first half and the referee didn''t make up time, it''s annoying!"


    Aguero had a grudge against yesterday''s game. When there were 5 minutes left in the game, the opponent said he would not play.


    "What''s the score?"


    "13:0."


    "Are you kicking kids under 10?"


    Messi shook his head and subconsciously touched his shoulders, saying: "They are both around 12 years old, and they are really strong. They hit my shoulders and they still hurt. It was uncomfortable to sleep last night."


    De Rossi was speechless for a while, then coughed twice, and said with a straight face: "Hey, then you are a rookie, they will definitely not play football. Three months ago, I, as the captain, took a gang The average age of 14-year-old teammates won the first Millwall Junior Charity Cup championship. When entering the regional championship knockout, the opponents are almost all 16-year-old lineups. Some people, I suspect that they may be 18 years old. Mi Ba."


    Aguero looked envious and asked, "How many goals did you score?"


    De Rossi almost vomited blood, his eyes dodged faintly: "3."


    "Three finals?"


    "Uh, all games."


    "How many games are there?"


    "10 games."


    "..."


    Messi and Aguero Ang turned to De Rossi''s gaze, all changed.


    De Rossi suddenly shouted: "What do you know? My position on the court is not a striker. I am a spiritual leader, a leader. Do leaders understand? I am a leader who can defend and can attack, and can help and release!"


    Aguero looked left and right, while Messi was thoughtful, and suddenly asked: "How many goals did that Portuguese kid score?"


    De Rossi touched his nose and said, "24."


    "Wow!"


    Aguero''s wide open mouth was slightly surprised.


    Messi sneered.


    Speaking of which, he and Aguero didn''t like Ronaldo. The kid was a bit "treacherous".


    If training and playing together, Cristiano Ronaldo will give Messi and Aguero Yi instructions and let them serve him.


    However, if he reaches the echelon of the senior age, Ronaldo can only do his part and do his job well, and strives to make no mistakes.


    "What are you talking about?"


    Messi and Aguero suddenly shrunk their necks, and their heads were gently pressed by a big hand. There was no way. Both of them were small. Aldridge raised his hand and felt the top of their head.


    The three saw Audridge''s arrival, and they were all happy. De Rossi rubbed his hands and asked, "Boss, where are you going to eat tonight?"


    Messi and Aguero also raised their heads and looked at Aldridge, a look of hope in their eyes.


    Aldridge suddenly felt a sense of guilt, seeing the hunger in the eyes of the three of them, as if he had never had a meal in Millwall.


    It can only be said that the taste of eating is not good.


    Nutrition and deliciousness are sometimes difficult to combine perfectly.


    Milwall¡¯s dietitians tend to match the food tastes of the players, especially meat, more fish, and chicken but not oil. Other foods such as french fries, cakes, pizzas, high calories and high cholesterol are taboo Goods.


    Fortunately, the first team players can say that, in addition to training and playing in the team, the catering at home can be adjusted according to taste.


    But these young players living in the Millwall community or dormitory are more miserable. The three meals a day are arranged by the club. Occasionally, they run home to let the family open a small stove to eat.


    Although Aldridge advocates that players pay attention to health and nutrition in the diet, after all, it is not a hard indicator. Especially for these small players, you must always give them some sweetness. You can¡¯t hold back for too long, otherwise you will probably take the opportunity to die. It would be terrible.


    He occasionally takes these little players out for dinner, or cooks food at home. Today, he plans to go out for dinner with these three people, and then go to a movie together.


    In a high-end restaurant, Aldridge had a steak in front of him and a glass of red wine on hand. His eyes dipped around, glancing across, the three people on the left and right.


    Messi, Aguero, De Rossi, really like the reincarnation of the starving dead, sweeping the steaks in front of them, Aldridge did not eat half of the stack of steaks, these three have already eaten two portions!


    It''s no wonder that they rarely come to such high-end restaurants to enjoy food, not to mention steaks, and most importantly, someone treats them!


    In fact, the amount of a steak is not much. Aldrich only has a small amount of food, so the diet is relatively balanced. He will eat some vegetables besides the steak. The three kids are only staring at the beef, and the knife and fork are in the dish. The jingling bells rang, attracting dissatisfied eyes from the surrounding guests.


    Aldrich didn¡¯t mind either, because he didn¡¯t pretend to be a gentleman, they ate with pleasure, so they didn¡¯t remind them of the table manners.


    The three chatted while eating, and each order was ordered with different tastes and different parts of the cow''s body.


    After finishing the third set, Aguero wiped his mouth with a napkin and asked Aldridge curiously: "Boss, why do we and Chelsea seem to have a deep hatred? Today we watched the game in the dormitory, and the dormitory administrator has been Curse Chelsea."


    This kind of thing is very rare. On the home game day, they will win the ticket to watch the ball through the performance of personal training. If they play away, they will watch the live TV in the dormitory. The dormitory administrator is the one who watches the ball. Partners, when playing against ordinary opponents, even if Millwall can¡¯t win the game, the dormitory¡¯s response is very ordinary. When the young players show frustration, the dormitory¡¯s manager will in turn comfort them: don¡¯t win today, it doesn¡¯t matter, We will perform better in the next game.


    In the match with Chelsea, the dormitory administrator seemed to have transformed.


    Aldridge smiled: "In the past, London had a saying that real Tottenham fans live in Fulham, real West Ham fans live in Cambridge, real Chelsea fans live in Millwall, and others Most of the people are fans of Manchester United or Arsenal. Now, excluding the influence of the team¡¯s radiating community, most of the neutral fans in London are fans of Millwall."


    Aguero looked at Aldridge seriously, but the fork in his left hand secretly reached Messi''s plate. Messi bluntly pulled his hand away while moving the plate to the other side. Move, protect with your arms.


    Aldridge saw his movement dumbfounded and said, "Are you having nothing to look for to relieve your embarrassment? Haven''t you been full yet?"


    Aguero smiled and said, "I''m full, but I still want to eat. Today''s beef is very tender and refreshing. It''s awkward."


    It happened that De Rossi had finished the third set. He was thick-skinned and asked the waiter to have another set.


    Aldrich said to De Rossi: "Don''t eat too much. In the next set, you are half of KUN."


    De Rossi glanced at Aguero and nodded helplessly.


    At this time, Messi raised his hand and said: "Also share it with me."


    De Rossi stopped, saying, "Then we will call another set, two sets, three points."


    Good fellow, the three boys have the same position. Aldrich shook his head and sighed, then asked the waiter to place the order.


    After taking a sip, Aguero hiccuped, smirked, and then continued to ask: "Why don''t Chelsea fans live around Stamford Bridge?"


    "The land price is expensive and the material consumption level is high. They have to move to a place with low consumption level. Therefore, they have an intersection with our fans in life, which leads to conflicts."


    Aguero nodded, and De Rossi and Messi both heard the reasons for Chelsea and Milvorn''s complaints.


    This kind of thing is common, every country, every region, every city happens, nothing more than a local cluster that excludes outsiders.


    At the end of the dinner, the waiter looked at the three boys as if they were monsters, but at checkout, he was full of enthusiasm. Aldrich not only had a high consumption, but also paid a lot of tips, which made the waiter smile.

 Chapter 370： Toyota Cup is here

    The movie I was going to watch in the evening was Leonardo starring "The Iron Faced Man" which was released this year. Audric sat on a seat with a bucket of popcorn waiting for the movie to start. De Rossi sat next to him. Messi and Agui Luo and the two boys are not interested in the movie. After sitting down, they are drowsy, and may also be caused by too much food.


    At the beginning of the movie, De Rossi came together and grabbed a handful of popcorn and asked, "Boss, is this movie telling the truth?"


    Aldridge shrugged and said, "I don''t know. I don''t have a high degree of education. I don''t know anything about French history, but the movie is definitely different from history. At least the background of the movie is wrong. The time in the movie is 1662. This group of people is in the Palace of Versailles, which is nonsense. The construction of the Palace of Versailles only began in 1664."


    "Eh? Don''t you understand history?"


    "But I have been to the Palace of Versailles."


    He and De Rossi chatted while watching, the two spoke very quietly and would not disturb others.


    Talking and chatting, De Rossi suddenly said: "Boss, are you going to Japan at the end of the month?"


    Aldridge replied, wondering: "Yeah, who doesn''t know about it?"


    At the end of the month, Millwall will leave for Japan to participate in the Toyota Cup.


    De Rossi turned his head to lick his face and smiled, "Bring me too! I want to see the world."


    Aldridge looked weird and said, "Do you think that going to Japan is called meeting the world? Isn''t it because you want to be lazy to travel and play?"


    De Rossi was broken through his mind, but he was also thick-skinned, saying: "Of course not! I am a training model! Haven''t Japanese football been very popular in recent years? Didn''t England famous Reinkel play in Japan? Brazil Isn¡¯t Captain Dunga also in Japan?"


    Aldrich said with a curse: "Don''t think that you can cover up your evil thoughts by saying a few star names. Rest assured, going to Japan will of course take you."


    De Rossi''s eyes lit up and asked, "Really?"


    "There is no need to lie to you, not only you, your teammates will go."


    Drosie''s face didn''t taste right, and sighed: "I can go in the original plan? I knew I wouldn''t tell you."


    "Ha ha."


    When the movie ended, Aguero woke up confusedly, yawning, his eyelids still fighting, and stood up and walked out. Aldridge grabbed him, crying and laughing: "You are going to get lost yourself Rhythm."


    The exit is on the left, but Aguero turned to the right...


    Messi was awoke after being hit by Aguero and got up and rubbed his face and said, "The movie is so beautiful."


    Aldridge pulled Messi''s wrist up, put his hand on Aguero''s shoulder, and said, "Don''t lose it."


    He and Aguero are now more of a joke, Aguero has eyes and shit!


    When he walked out of the cinema, Aldridge took the three boys to get back in a taxi. As a result, several reporters snapped and snapped in front of them with the camera. After the shooting, he smiled at Aldridge and waved goodbye.


    Saying goodbye, actually just covering up, the paparazzi ran to the corner to hide and continue to observe Aldridge where they would go next, even if Aldridge got in a taxi, they followed closely until Aldridge 4 was confirmed People return to the club community before they give up tracking.


    Originally, Aldridge didn''t worry about it, but the news he saw the next day made him almost spit out blood!


    Lace Tabloid vaguely pointed out that Aldridge has a "pedophile"!


    Some of the big newspapers that also got this news still have professional ethics. From Aldridge to take young players out to dinner to watch movies and in-depth analysis of Millwall''s youth training success.


    Aldridge had to ask Andrew to come and help send lawyers letters to some newspapers.


    No way, the young man''s private life has begun to be suspected.


    The outside world thinks that his girlfriend is just a shield. He is either **** or really pedophile.


    Another day later, Millwall held an official press conference.


    Club CEO Adam Public announced that all echelons below the Millwall first team have reached a sponsorship agreement with the British company Umbro. The reserve team and youth team training competition clothing and equipment are provided by Umbro.


    This news shocked the English football, and even made the entire European football closely watch.


    Millwall even the reserve team, the youth team can be favored by the sponsors?


    The sponsorship contract is two years, ¡ê1 million per year!


    This fee is already higher than the sponsorship fee of many first team teams in the Premier League!


    Umbro''s business representatives are full of confidence in this cooperation.


    They believe that Millwall''s success is due to the success of youth training. Statistics from the past two seasons show that the number of spectators in the Millwall youth team and reserve team is between twice and twice the average number. .


    In addition to Millwall''s fans'' support, other fans also have the interest to spend low prices to enter to watch their games, and may have admired a future superstar before he became famous.


    The Millwall reserve team has won the reserve league championship consecutively. The youth team¡¯s three consecutive championships in the youth league plus the two wins of the Youth FA Cup is an important reason why Yinbao is willing to invest in them. The team will also play against the powerful European youth team when playing in the European War. It has a lot of influence and topics.


    All the giants were shocked.


    Millwall even packs reserves and youth teams to generate benefits, and it is not a small profit.


    Other giants were jealous, but even Real Madrid, Barcelona, ??Bayern and so on, such as the excellent youth, they dare not say that the youth team record and the number of talented talents can match Millwall.


    The most important thing is, maybe there is still chaos inside the giants. The first team is worried about the pressure of performance. Who cares about the youth team?


    Aldrich adhered to the development of the youth training policy and committed to it. After four and a half years, he has laid the prototype of a complete system. As long as the first team can continue to succeed, it will also drive the future business of their reserve team and youth team. income.


    CEO Adam is ambitious. He plans to at least double the price of the sponsorship contract with Umbro when Millwall moves into the new stadium two years later!


    The club can earn an extra income, Aldridge is naturally happy to see, although Millwall''s profit report last season made 14 million pounds, this season will definitely make more than 60 million pounds, because they just sell people in the summer It has earned more than 80 million pounds. Although the salary of the players has been increased and the cost of expenditure has been increased, as long as the record can be maintained, the club''s revenue and expenditure can be balanced by excluding transfer income.


    But this is not enough, far from enough. The current scale of the club can no longer support the huge consumer market. After the new stadium is built, the overall diversified business chain attached to the new stadium will make the club''s income a qualitative leap.


    After announcing a new sponsorship contract, Millwall immediately announced his itinerary to Japan at the end of the month, not only to play in the Tokyo National Arena finals, but also against the South American Libertadores Cup champion, Vasco da Gama from Brazil. .


    At the same time, Millwall and the Japanese Football Association reached a friendly match agreement. When Millwall went to Japan, he would bring two echelons, a youth team, and a junior team to play two friendly matches on the day before the Toyota Cup. The opponents were Japan. The U21 and the National Junior Team.


    In recent years, Japanese football has been vigorously revitalized. In addition to attracting late twilight stars to join the league to increase public attention and enthusiasm, the focus on youth training is coming step by step.


    Perhaps these two youth and junior team friendly matches have little intuitive value, but the influence behind them cannot be evaluated with monetary benefits, including incentives for young people, stimulation of football thinking for the public, and so on.


    Among them, the sponsor¡¯s behind-the-scenes matchmaking is indispensable. The Millwall youth team played against the European giants¡¯ team. That was Aldridge¡¯s initiative to apply for a match with the other party, but with the Japan Football Association, he really did not want to let Millwall young players use the Japanese youth echelon to train their troops. It feels unnecessary. Even though Japanese football is developing at a high speed, it is not strong enough to be impressive. Millwall is also a tourist mentality.


    However, the other party offered an invitation, and some companies gave sponsorship, and Aldridge had no reason to refuse.


    Before leaving for Japan, Millwall still has another league game to play, still the London Derby, and the opponent is Tottenham in the north.


    The London Derby was rendered as a confrontation between the "Lost Hero" and the "New King".


    Fleet Street likes to make eye-catching news.


    This does not mean that between Millwall and Tottenham, Tottenham itself can not be called the king of the old era.


    It''s a comparison between Tottenham''s new coach George Graham and Audrey Hall.


    Almost when Aldridge was in charge of Millwall, Arsenal, the master of Graham¡¯s creation, entered the stage of decline. The last game played by Arsenal with Graham was the British League led by Aldridge. Millwall was eliminated after defeat.


    Then Graham was dismissed. After being banned from coaching by the FA for a year, Graham returned to the Elland Road stadium, but unfortunately the heroism no longer, Leeds United¡¯s record is also very ordinary. When playing with Millwall, As Millwall is in full swing, Fleet Street can''t create much topic.


    Moreover, Millwall and Leeds have a contradiction. When Aldridge hits Leeds, he always treats the opponent''s coach with color.


    The reason is that Leeds United fans made racial discrimination against Millwall players when Millwall first appeared in the Premier League season, and it was very serious. There was a large amount of racial discrimination in the stands.


    Like Makelele, he still holds his arms. As long as he plays Leeds United, he will be particularly active. Even if he eats on the field and the red card goes off, he doesn¡¯t matter. Aldridge never accuses him. He will defend him after the game. Players It''s also a person who needs to vent when he is angry. Under certain circumstances, Aldridge will keep his eyes closed.


    Although Millwall fans used to be troublesome, they were very open on racial issues, because East London was originally the region with the most immigrants. Everyone is used to friends with different skin colors, although there are very few extreme fans who have a racist tendency. .


    Over the past two years, Aldridge hasn¡¯t said anything to Graham, and he hasn¡¯t shaken his hand. Aldridge is because the opponent is the Leeds United coach. Graham is probably because Aldrich was Saliva humiliation.


    Before the Fleet Street game, the flames ignited the two''s former hatreds. After all, the two people''s positions are different now. London Derby!


    Unfortunately, Aldridge is not fooled, Graham is in a worrying situation, Tottenham''s bad luck is ranked in the second half, and he has no capital to provoke Millwall.


    In such an over-rendered "war", Millwall sat at home with a bloodless edge to defeat Graham''s Tottenham, and Fanny staged a hat trick in the game. It is probably that Henry''s injury came back and gave him pressure In the game, he defended the main position with a bursting state.


    Millwall went to Moscow after winning the fifteenth round of the Premier League. He came off the bench and held a draw. The UEFA Champions League group stage 5 wins 4 draws 1 draw, leading the group stage second place 5 wins 4 wins 1 Negative Inter Milan announced their qualifying ahead of schedule.


    After the end of the European War, they began to prepare to travel to Japan to participate in the Toyota Cup itinerary.

 Chapter 371： Injured future superstar

    The night before his departure to Japan, Aldridge went to Poker Night as usual. Tonight he had good luck and won 3,500 pounds. When he returned to the community with Yiwen in the evening, he saw a man sitting at his doorstep. On the steps in front of his house.


    After Yiwen got out of the car and saw the door of Audridge''s house, he turned his head to say goodnight and went straight to his home.


    Aldridge came out of the garage, and the man at the door stood up. Aldridge raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was more than eleven o''clock in the evening. Why didn''t he run to his door without sleeping?


    "Something?"


    Aldrich came to this person, and couldn''t understand what Ronaldo did.


    Ronaldo lowered his head as if there was something hard to say.


    "Bullied?"


    Ronaldo shook his head.


    "Miss your mother?"


    Ronaldo hesitated for a moment, but shook his head.


    Aldridge was a little impatient and said, "Then you talk."


    Ronaldo raised his head and looked away, whispering: "I want to ask you to borrow some money."


    Borrow money?


    Not to mention, Ronaldo is a poor kid.


    His training, living, studying and other expenses in Millwall are all paid by the club. The apprentice contract that Aldridge signed with him is paid, but they are all symbolic, less than two hundred pounds a month. At the time, Cristiano Ronaldo insisted that the money be given directly to his family every month. He did not know that when he came to Millwall, Aldridge had given his family 500,000 pounds for free, and he also helped his brother to get rid of drugs. After his brother''s successful detoxification, his family was doing small business in Portugal, and his life was much better than before.


    This kid is short of money, so why not ask the family?


    It is estimated that he thought the economic conditions of his family were very poor.


    Aldrich asked curiously: "What do you want money for?"


    Ronaldo, who will be 14 years old in three months, since money is needed, it is definitely not as simple as buying a bottle of beverage and having a snack.


    Ronaldo started ink again, and Aldridge could not bear it.


    This baby''s self-esteem is too strong, asking for help is like going to the execution ground.


    Aldridge opened the door and motioned for Ronaldo to come in. Ronaldo walked in with his head down.


    Sitting on the sofa, Aldridge said: "You first talk about how much you want."


    Ronaldo replied: "Three hundred pounds, two hundred pounds will do."


    Aldridge was speechless.


    The future Mr. 80 million pounds is actually hard to tell for two or three hundred pounds.


    Well, hero heroes can really be suffocated by a penny.


    "Where is the money going to be spent?"


    Ronaldo also sat down and said embarrassedly: "I want to buy a camera, better and more expensive."


    Aldridge smiled.


    I probably understood what Ronaldo thought.


    He not only has a strong self-esteem, but also loves the smelly beauty. In the youth team, his hairstyle is the most coquettish, changing from day to day, and when he takes a photo with the youth team, he is almost as cool as the male model of the catwalk.


    Young guys, understandably, after all, they are the typical high-end handsome in the future.


    Aldridge got upstairs, took a camera down after a while, stuffed it into Ronaldo¡¯s hand, and smiled: "This is a new digital camera I bought during my summer trip. Heaven will be familiar with the function."


    Ronaldo looked at the brand new camera in his hand. After all, he hadn''t used it a few times. In the summer, Aldridge traveled to Switzerland. The photos he took were also washed out, and the camera has been idle.


    He fiddled with it, looking like he could not put it down.


    In fact, he just wanted to have a camera so that he could take some more pictures for his family when he went to Japan. He also admitted that he was indeed more beautiful, but maybe it was more from the embarrassment in his home when he was young. The more the environment is, the more you want to show and leave that moment, as if you can use it as your proud capital.


    "how much is this?"


    Ronaldo raised his head after playing for a while, and Aldridge was very tired and shook his head: "Send you, don¡¯t need money, as long as it¡¯s not something that will make you plaything disappointing, what you lack is just talking, I know that your life here is very lonely , I can find some recreational activities in my spare time, which is good for your growth."


    Ronaldo nodded silently, Aldridge chatted with him for a while, and finally saw that it was too late, so he let him spend the night at home.


    Before going to bed, Ronaldo put batteries in the camera and photographed his shirtless appearance in front of the mirror. He was stronger and taller than before. Don¡¯t look at 14 years old, as far as physical fitness is concerned, The person who is not weaker than 16 years old also directly led to the beginning of the U16 echelon to "take power and become the king". It is estimated that when De Rossi graduates from U16, the next U16 captain''s armband will also be directly delivered to C Luo hand.


    Waking up the next day, Millwall''s third-tier echelon chartered to Tokyo, Japan.


    In this trip, Millwall''s clothes were neat and uniform, and even Messi Aguero was no exception in a tailor-made suit, but their short stature put on a suit. .


    Something went wrong when boarding, and someone was late.


    Not a player, but a coach.


    Boas arrived at the airport almost half an hour late, raging into the cabin with his suitcase intact, the others were already seated, and the players of the first team were old and heavy, unlike the youth team and the temporarily formed elite junior team Never seen the world, Cristiano Ronaldo took a camera and took a picture, Dero suit matured to run next to Materazzi to play poker with Pirlo Gattuso, Messi and Aguero held Audridge for two months I watched the cartoon on the portable DVD player, er, a full set of "Soccer Boys", a group of young people under 15 years old, like Jenas, Letale also watched with interest...


    Boas entered the cabin and packed his luggage, apologizing frequently to his colleagues in the coaching staff.


    Aldridge and Klinsmann were also playing poker. When Boas came to them and apologized, Aldridge turned his head and looked startled.


    Klinsmann also asked worriedly: "Are you all right? Hey, are you sick?"


    Boas''s pale eyes were puffy, and his eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, and he obviously did not rest well.


    Boas sat down opposite Jenson, the plane began to take off, he signaled that he was okay, and then took out a stack of reports from his arms and handed it to Aldridge.


    Aldridge pressed the card, took a look down, and was surprised: "Aren''t you sleeping?"


    Boas nodded gently.


    Aldridge sighed: "Workaholic."


    His report is an analysis of the opponent''s analysis made by Boas for several days in a row.


    Unlike the opponents in the Premier League or the English domestic cup, it is easy to understand, even if it is the opponent in the Champions League, Millwall¡¯s intelligence work will not be too difficult to do. Millwall¡¯s Toyota Cup opponent is Vascoda in Brazil this time. Gamma team, intelligence collector is obviously impossible to fly to Brazil to continuously observe the opponent''s situation.


    Aldrich wants to say how obsessed he is with the Toyota Cup, which is unlikely, but a trip to Japan definitely wants to win the trophy. There is no emphasis on the Vasco da Gama team in the heart.


    There are two reasons. One is that he needs Millwall to take the initiative. The other is that the strength of the South American team is rapidly declining. In the post-Bosman Act era, the frequency of outstanding South American players landing in Europe has increased significantly. After all, making money in Europe More, the transfer is also convenient, which has a direct relationship with the European football clubs in the increase in broadcast revenue to become financially slack.


    Boas'' report was heavy, and Aldridge was ashamed.


    Talking better than nothing, knowing more about your opponents and more targeted pre-match deployment are also beneficial to the game''s chances of winning.


    Boas did not feel that it was a great contribution to continuously stay up late to analyze his opponent to make this report, or that he felt that this was his internal affair, and he should do so.


    Young peers in the football coaching circle are extremely envious of Boas. Millwall¡¯s coaching staff has always been a longing place for young coaches. Many new coaches hope to work with Audridge and rule out some wrong coaches. Audrey Qi is well-known in the coaching circle, and the cover letters that came during the summer recruitment are the best proof.


    "Flight time is more than 12 hours, you take a break first."


    Aldrich put away his report and couldn¡¯t always work on the plane. Boas¡¯ work attitude satisfied him, and even moved him. This spirit is needed behind a successful team.


    Boas took a thin blanket and went to the empty seat in the corner, then closed his eyes and rested.


    "That kid really fights, it makes me very stressed."


    Klinsmann said lamentedly.


    Jenson smiled and said, "Yeah, we were not as good as he was when we didn''t have many people.


    Aldridge waved his hand: "Everyone''s situation is different."


    It''s really different. Like Klinsmann, he has made a reputation for his career. Even if the coach is not doing well, it doesn''t matter. But for a person like Boas, if he can''t succeed in this line, it doesn''t mean he can''t go on, he can live. The height drop will be very strong.


    Just as Aldridge said to Barnett that year, if he can''t be a successful head coach, he will eat and die and be a playboy.


    Can''t fight it!


    The time on the plane went a little long, and it even made people feel painful.


    After almost 14 hours of flight, they finally arrived in Tokyo, Japan.


    The future Narita International Airport is now Tokyo International Airport. The airport exit hall is full of people, countless Japanese and international media reporters gather here, and there are fans from all over the world.


    When the Millwall team came out under the leadership of Aldridge, a high-decibel scream broke out.


    The lights flickered, the mountains and tsunami cheering echoed in my ears.


    Mo said the reporters were shocked, and the fans, especially the female fans, jumped and jumped with excitement.


    Who said the Millwall football team came to Japan?


    Obviously the Millwall male model team!


    The first team of Millwall headed by Aldridge wears a dark blue suit from the coach to the players, and the Millwall team logo is printed on the left chest.


    Aldridge, Klinsmann, Boas, Jenson, Pirlo, Nedved, Larson, Lampard, Southgate, Schneider, Bout...


    No matter how critical a woman''s vision is, here, there will always be a male **** who makes them intoxicated!


    "Milwall!"


    "Aldrich Hall!"


    "Pavel Nedved!"


    "Henrik Larson!"


    ...


    The sound at the scene was a bit confusing, and the sounds of three or five groups shouting someone''s name collided together, forming a noisy hustle and bustle.


    Aldridge didn''t show off coolly, smiling and waving to the fans who greeted them at the airport, and the players behind him would all say hello symbolically.


    As they walked out, the crowd rushed out.


    When the youth team came out behind the first team, the leading elite junior team came out.


    Ronaldo, with a camera around his neck, stood in situ and looked down at the back of a group of people who were chasing the first team in the face.


    Yenas came to him and asked curiously, "Why don''t you go?"


    Ronaldo said: "We are also Millwall players!"


    Messi and Aguero, two cute boys in suits, also stopped.


    I have to say that the picture in front of them is a bit hurtful.


    It felt like they were roadside grasses that no one cares about.


    Najib walked around at the end and saw that the youth team was standing at the exit and did not go forward. He then looked at the scene of the crowd in front of the first team chasing out, and he understood everything.


    These gangsters, who are the focus of the youth level, are hurting their self-esteem.


    Najib stepped forward and patted Cristiano Ronaldo''s shoulder, and smiled lightly: "Remember today, those who turn around and leave will regret it."


    Ronaldo nodded heavily, and everyone nodded with a firm face.


    Who doesn''t care about playing fame? Who doesn''t want to be more famous and more influential?


    This group of teenagers made up their minds at this "injured" moment to regret the fans who didn''t look at them!


    Najib is very happy, and can stimulate this group of kids, of course he likes to see it.


    Look and see, and after ten years, no one in the world knows the king!

 Chapter 372： Previous lesson

    Millwall airborne to Tokyo, detonating the enthusiasm of football in the city. The Millwall first team attended five business events for two consecutive days. If Aldridge is only the head coach, he will inevitably object, but he is also the team owner. The popularity of commercial development can only be involved, and the players are not against it. After all, commercial activities can intuitively increase their income.


    At 1:30 pm on November 31, at the Tokyo National Sports Arena, the friendly match between the Millwall Junior Team and the Japanese Junior Team officially kicked off.


    On the spot, the Japanese people naturally want to support their national team from a close distance, and one ticket can watch two balls. After the competition of the junior team, there will be a competition between the youth team.


    In the VIP box, Aldridge and the first-team coaching staff sat here to watch the game. Next to him was a Japanese: the president of the Japan Football Association, Kawabuchi Saburo.


    This person has made great contributions to Japanese football. He has established a 100-year football plan for Japanese football and has firmly implemented it. Now he only serves as the chairman of the Football Association for four years, but in history he has been in power for more than 20 years and can be in power. It is also an important factor in the long-term development of Japanese football.


    Kawabuchi Saburo frequently whispered with Aldridge in the box, most of the time the other party said, Aldridge rarely voluntarily spoken, because he couldn¡¯t stand the other¡¯s crappy English, and sometimes it took a long time to understand one or two words. The other party''s words.


    Japanese football learns Brazil and takes the technical route. This is also the choice to teach according to the aptitude. If you take the power route, Mo said that if you break out of Asia, they may not even be able to dominate in East Asia, let alone the power shock with players in West Asia.


    In the junior team''s game, the age of players is limited to under 17, the Japanese junior team is almost all 17-year-old players, and Millwall''s players drawn from each echelon are not close in age.


    17-year-old Evra, Balzali and 16-year-old Lescott, Meeks formed the back line.


    Parker and Carrick, 17, and Alonso, who just passed his 17th birthday last week, form a midfielder.


    17-year-old Joaquin and Vicente form a bilateral avant-garde.


    On the front line is David Villa, who has his 17th birthday in four days.


    The goalkeeper chose a person casually.


    In Japan, although football is not the first sport, with the rise of the national football wave, in a small country with a population of more than 100 million, the number of fans is huge. Today, they must support the Japanese youth team, but From the beginning of the game, the cheering cheers on the stands became smaller and smaller.


    Although the players of the Japanese junior team mainly hone their skills, they are completely disadvantaged when facing Millwall players of the same age.


    The offense simply couldn''t move forward, and the mistake of passing the ball directly led Millwall to unhurriedly launch a fast break.


    Parker successfully intercepted in the backcourt, and then passed the ball to Alonso. Then, Alonso and Crick continued to do a wall kick in a small range to complete a 2 over 3!


    With the ball forward, Alonso hit the sideline with precision. Vicente blasted the opponent on the left and drove the ball back to the top of the penalty area. Alonso faked a true pass and Villa counter-offside Successfully put the ball into the opponent''s gate easily.


    The opening was just 3 minutes.


    The audience in the stadium stands dumbfounded.


    Is this a junior team game?


    Alonso and Carrick were dazzled by the continuous kicking of the wall, and it took a few seconds to kick the ball through the wall and it did look amazing sometimes.


    Kawabuchi Saburo was speechless. He knew that there was a gap between the technical flow of Japanese football and the tactical flow of Millwall, but he did not expect that the gap would be so large!


    After scoring, Villa trot back to celebrate with Alonso high-five, and then ready to restart the game.


    Aldrich didn''t care about this opponent today, and actually had little effect on Millwall''s training.


    If you meet a power opponent, there may be exercise value, but when you meet a half-skilled opponent, Millwall and the young people play like a fish, because as long as they can dominate the game through simple control, physical confrontation The intensity of the game is not as good as that of the England Youth League. On the real big stage, in the game where the soil is competing, even if you can pass the ball into the opponent¡¯s gate, you need physical confrontation to catch the ball. The kind of exercise is More meaningful.


    The Japanese junior team can''t control the rhythm of the game completely. As long as they pass the half, they will definitely lose the ball. The passing coordination will not exceed the success of the three-legged.


    The Millwall Junior team played steadily and did not have a good chance to make a fuss in the middle. Alonso, Carrick and Parker plus the retired Villa. The four of them did not try in one match. The breakthrough, completely created a chance by passing the ball and passing the ball to create a chance. Finally, Alonso''s dead end in the penalty area line helped the team score again.


    2: 0, the time is the 11th minute of the game.


    "Mr. Hall, how long have these children played together?"


    Kawon Saburo asked thoughtfully.


    The current scene not only makes the audience dumbfounded, but also the face of Japan¡¯s President Kawon Saburo is not good-looking. If Millwall defeats the Japanese team with his personal skills, this gap is acceptable. The physical qualities of European players are there. But just now the two goals were not scored by Millwall players who crushed their opponents with technical skills.


    After thinking for a while, Aldrich said: "This question is not easy to answer. Some players came to the club for training earlier. For example, the child who scored the first goal, he came to Millwall three and a half years ago. Others People, some two and a half years ago, and some one and a half years ago, only three players on the field joined the club half a year ago."


    "It''s no wonder, they have a high level of understanding."


    Aldridge stopped talking.


    In just 11 minutes, the Millwall Junior Team made the Japanese Junior Team aware of the gap between the two sides, and the Japanese Junior Team could not fight back!


    After achieving a two-goal lead, the Millwall Junior team played more openly, and their personal skills showed more. Hua Jin and Vicente spurned Japan''s young full-backs on the sidelines, forcing the other party to have a central defender. Or a midfielder to assist defense, but this will expose the defense in other areas.


    Villa played very well today. Two wing players attracted the defense. Alonso and Carrick delivered shells behind him. At the end of the first half, he scored four goals.


    And the score in the first half made all Japanese fans on the scene regret buying tickets to enter.


    7:0.


    This score is too cruel!


    The Japanese junior team collapsed across the board after 20 minutes, the defense was unruly, and there were many loopholes.


    This is why Aldridge believes that this game has no training value for the young players of Millwall U17. The gap is too large, and the opponent''s tactical awareness is too weak, and the psychology is fragile. Immediately after the ball, defensive dislocations occur frequently.


    During the halftime break, the Japanese Football Association leaders whispered under the leadership of Kawon Saburo. I don¡¯t know what they are discussing. Kawon Saburo looked very serious. Maybe this game let them see their own shortcomings, maybe they saw more With their strong football style, they did not become angry and angry. Originally, the game was sponsored by Japanese sponsors to spend a lot of money on Millwall to play. The Japanese junior team cannot do it by themselves, and they cannot blame Millwall for being merciless.


    The head coach who led the junior team today is Dean Richards, who replaced five people at halftime.


    Jenas, Nolan replaced Parker and Carrick.


    Ronaldo, Messi and Aguero came on to replace Joaquin, Vicente and Villa.


    The first two substitutions are still normal, and the audience cannot see that Jenas is only 15 years old.


    But Ronaldo, Messi and Aguero all appeared on the scene, and Japanese fans were all crazy.


    Millwall is so **** crazy!


    Ronaldo looks 15 years old at best. Messi and Aguero are more like 11-12 year olds, especially Messi. No one doubts you are 10 years old.


    The Japanese junior team also changed a group of men and women in the second half. The slaughtered team in the first half has already collapsed. No experience can be gained after the game. It is better to calm down and calm down.


    Kawabuchi Saburo returned to his seat to prepare to continue to watch the second half of the game, but after seeing Millwall''s substitutions, he frowned and whispered: "Mr. Hall, is this Millwall''s contempt?"


    Aldrich turned his head and asked, "Mr. Kawabuchi Saburo, does the Japanese Football Association hope Millwall attaches importance to this game or perfunctory?"


    "Of course I hope you will do your best!"


    "Then let''s sit here and enjoy the second half of the game."


    Kawabuchi Saburo depressed his anger. He had the same idea as the fans. He thought that Millwall was going to "play" with the Japanese junior team in the second half. You can substitute, but don''t use this humiliating substitution!


    The newcomers from the Japanese Junior Team saw three people on the opposite front, two of them were still short of them, and they were suddenly angry.


    Look down on us!


    But when the game started, the audience was dumbfounded.


    After a successful steal, Jenas handed the ball to Alonso, who directly gave Aguero in front.


    Messi ran next to Aguero. In a small area, Aguero and Messi played together.


    Two over one, two over two, the third defender learned well, and consciously wanted to block the opponent to continue to kick the wall, but Aguero, who took the ball, suddenly turned to break through. When facing the back line, one Straight foot ribs are free.


    The winger C Ronaldo rushed, and the opposing defender immediately put a shovel to block his shooting angle. C Ronaldo stopped the ball and pulled the ball to the middle. He had faced the goalkeeper one by one, and he could score with just one shot. In today''s game, he played.


    With the ball rushed to the goalkeeper, and then stepped on the bicycle twice to turn the heel and kick the ball into the opponents goal.


    There was a total silence in the stadium, and then Japanese fans gave Ronaldo a wave of applause.


    This player is obviously much younger than the others, but he plays so chicly and gorgeously, and he also scored a goal. Even if the audience stand firm, they cannot restrain the urge to applaud him.


    Aldridge shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly.


    This kid is guilty again.


    But the friendly match doesn''t matter. It''s not bad to satisfy his vanity.


    Kawabuchi Saburo was dumbfounded. Because few Millwall players made such technical moves in the first half, he did not know whether all Millwall players could do this, or the horizontal line was such a height.


    In fact, in the second half, Richards replaced C Romesi Aguero to let them go to play and feel the atmosphere of the game.


    When the small Messi guarded the ball back and forth to get rid of attracting the opponent''s three defenses, the audience''s mind was numb.


    The Japanese junior team has no chance of fouling. The little **** was so **** up, suddenly left and right, suddenly before and after, with the ball usually not fast, seeing being close, immediately accelerating and changing direction, their waists are fast Twisted!


    Cristiano Ronaldo also played happily, and the fancy moves attracted a lot of applause, but after he was intercepted twice, the side coach Richards was also angry.


    Let you go up and play, not as if playing street football!

 Chapter 373： Highlights

    Dean Richards pointed at Ronaldo on the sidelines and roared at him. Ronaldo immediately bowed his head and ran into the backcourt to defend.


    Messi and Aguero smirked under the heart: It''s a mess!


    Although the two of them also started to frequently break through with the ball, the pass should be passed. The reason for the excessive sticking of the ball was that the goal was not found. In addition to the goalkeeper, the Japanese junior team all ran back to halftime defense, which was quite good. The big space became narrow in an instant, and Millwall''s midfielder Alonso and Jenas came to the frontcourt to organize or respond. Before the attack hit the dangerous area, it was necessary for the player to get out of the defense by personally getting rid of the defense. .


    Ronaldo had spent a lot of time on the job, and playing it in a situation where it was already destined to be a massacre really meant to humiliate the other party.


    Although Richards has not played for a few seasons in his career, after all, he is a defender. He deeply understands that Ronaldo continues to play like this. Maybe this game is nothing, but it will be very unfavorable for his future growth. If he encounters a green field The villain on the road, this is the rhythm of finding his own leg!


    Ronaldo didn''t dare to continue to play with fire, after all, he had been stunned by the ball.


    He thinks it''s ugly. The audience doesn''t think so. Cristiano Ronaldo is obviously playing football with his opponent who is three or four years older than him. He dares to play like this, and his attitude is very strong. Even if it fails, the audience appreciates it.


    Especially the sponsor representatives in another box of the stadium.


    Andrew came to Tokyo earlier than Millwall, and he came to meet the sponsors.


    Sponsors who have a cooperative relationship with Millwall are very much looking forward to Millwall''s winning the Toyota Cup. Today''s junior team and youth team''s game also surprised Umbo. Just sponsoring Millwall''s subordinate echelon, there was immediate publicity. Return.


    The sponsor representative of NIKE and Andrew stood together and they whispered. When the sponsor representative asked each person, Andrew would give a brief introduction to that person''s situation.


    Villa, Alonso, Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Aguero... Junior players who performed well in this game, NIKE seems to be interested in signing directly.


    In fact, NIKE is more interested in the superstars of the Millwall first team, but because the team first cooperated with Puma, and Nedved and Larson are also more loyal to the sponsors, NIKE wants to dig and can¡¯t dig. If it were really taken away, Millwall would be unhappy, because it would cause a series of negative effects on business cooperation.


    Andrew is very friendly to the representatives of NIKE. Deeply in his heart, he hopes that in the near future, NIKE can become a sponsor of Millwall and replace Puma. After all, the ambitions exposed by the NIKE exhibition are terrifying in the industry. The NIKE can almost bring Ronaldo under the title of the 1998 World Cup, enough to reflect its strength and expansion ambitions.


    In terms of capital strength, NIKE is the top in the industry, and spares no effort in publicity. The cooperation between the star and NIKE is definitely a win-win situation.


    If it is a first-team star, Andrew will also consider it, but younger players, he has no worries.


    NIKE intends to invest in advance, which has the meaning of spreading the net everywhere, especially according to Millwall''s ability to make stars. As long as they invest five or six players now, one or two players can finally make it to the top stage and become a star. Compared, it is negligible.


    Cristiano Ronaldo started to play well on the court, assisted Aguero to score a goal before the end of the game, and then the corner kick was scored by Barzali, Millwall Junior eventually washed the Japanese Junior Team 10:0.


    Even Aldridge did not expect that Ronaldo, Messi, and Aguero played halftime and received a sponsorship contract from NIKE. Although they were paid tens of thousands of pounds, considering their age, this is enough Make them proud.


    Alonso and Villa are also favored, but the contract will be carefully considered, Andrew did not have the conditions to promise NIKE in the first time, after all, Alonso and Villa, according to age, may be able to get to the front line within two years Team, and C Romessi Aguero''s three boys still have a long way to go.


    After the junior team''s game, the youth team will play.


    Rest half an hour in between.


    The youth team brought by Millwall this time is not as "star dazzling" as the youth team.


    The strikers are led by David Lamore, Joe Cole, and Drogba.


    The midfielder sent young veterans De Rossi and Pedretti.


    Metzelder and Ledley King guard the middle line on the back line, and Ashley Cole and Paul Ferreira will serve as the left and right gates.


    There are also three young players on the weekday reserve team.


    There is no way, like Bresiano, Cahill, these more capable U21 players, loaned away at the beginning of the season.


    Seeing the start of Millwall¡¯s youth team, Kawabuchi asked Audridge with some doubts: "Mr. Hall, the rules we have discussed before seem to be the echelon of U21?"


    Aldridge knows what the other party is asking about, like De Rossi, Pedretti and others, who seem to be under 18 years old.


    "We have not enough manpower, and some players in the 18-21 age group are on loan, so we put together such a lineup."


    Kawabuchi Saburo said nothing more.


    The U21 echelon of the Japanese youth team did not send the strongest lineup. The age of Nakata, who landed in Serie A, is at this stage, but he is already a national team. The Japanese football association cannot commit Nakata to return from Italy for a friendly match.


    They mainly focus on learning and communication.


    Even though the game just ended was too ugly to lose sight of, but Kawabuchi Saburo felt that game was very valuable. Of course, Aldridge felt the opposite. They came to give Japanese football insights.


    It is not convincing to say how strong the national team can play, but the youth echelon of a club can play such wonderful football. The Japanese Football Association has seen it with its own eyes. It is not acceptable, not only is it convincing, but also has a lot to learn from. experience.


    The youth team''s game skills and tactics content is not as high as the youth team.


    Although Millwall still took the lead early, Aldridge never laughed.


    When Ramor sent the ball to Drogba in an over-the-top pass, the latter squeezed the opponent like a tank and then blasted the ball into the opponent''s goal. This is the innate condition of the crush, which has little to do with the technical and tactical gold content. .


    In response to this game, the Japanese youth team really picked strong and strong players to play, but his mother came across an unprecedented World of Warcraft Drogba, as if it was a real beast war.


    Drogba only came to the team for half a year, and the technical roughness was unbearable, but he just could hold his position. The Japanese players couldn''t push, they could hit with their bodies, good guy, Drogba didn''t move, they flew out by themselves. .


    Six minutes after the goal, there was a scene that caused Audridge to laugh.


    There is a defender in Japan who wants to steal from Drogba before taking the ball from the back. Drogba realizes that he half-turned to protect the ball-holding space. The opponent rushed up from behind and stretched his leg, then half of his body hit Drogba''s back. , Then he fell to the ground and rolled 180 degrees in the air...


    The referee played Drogba foul.


    Drogba opened his palm very innocently, and turned his head inexplicably to the Japanese player who fell to the ground and covered his hip.


    The rush was too fierce. Drogba just moved his leg when he stretched his leg. He hit himself and was bounced. He also blamed his support foot for not standing firmly. It is estimated that he was eager to grab the ball.


    This ball seems to have a low training value. The player lineup is temporarily pieced together. The tacit understanding is not enough. You can only rely on the ability of a single player to play the game. There are not many opportunities. It is a bit boring to play.


    But Aldridge still found a bright spot in the game.


    David Lamore, the former prodigy, was very active on the court. Perhaps he did not fall physically against the Japanese players. Not only did he pass a few excellent shots, but he also attacked with Joe Cole in the frontcourt. End-to-end play an efficient cooperation.


    Before the end of the first half, it was Joe Cole who dunked the ball through the ribs and Ramor reversed the offside and then volleyed the goal. Aldrich applauded, Ramor¡¯s running awareness, the game Reading ability is very good, as long as you can improve the physical confrontation, although it may not be able to play the main striker in Millwall, but the bench is certainly no problem.


    Aldrich no longer cared about what Kawabuchi Saburo and the Japanese Football Association had to say about the game. He turned around and started a long exchange with Jenson.


    The center of the conversation between the two is Ramall.


    At the end of the game, the Millwall youth team defeated the Japanese youth team 3-1.


    At dusk, the audience on the scene stood up and applauded the players on both sides.


    In just four and a half hours, Japanese fans on the spot saw the gap between Japanese football and the top European teams.


    Although this is not a match between the Japanese national team and the first team of Millwall, but the contest between the echelons can vaguely see the future.


    The Japanese Football Association invited the Millwall coaching staff to dinner, and Kawabuchi Saburo had many questions about youth training and wanted to ask Audridge.


    Although Aldridge was Chinese before crossing, but in the face of Kawabuchiro''s invitation, Aldridge did not refuse. This is pure academic exchange.


    It was almost nine o''clock in the evening before returning to the hotel. Aldridge was standing alone on the balcony of the suite smoking with an ashtray.


    The prosperous night view of Tokyo came into his eyes, and he was smoky in front of him, looking at the scene of neon flashing traffic, as if he could see through the world of flowers and papers, and the air seemed to show a fallen smell.


    Somehow, he suddenly had a sad emotion lingering in his heart.


    Leading Millwall all the way, he changed from an unknown soldier to a top-level marshal. At such a time, he hopes that someone around him and a partner can share with him, no need for a passionate carnival, even just standing beside him Watching him smoking, looking up at the night sky together, and enjoying the night view of the city will give him a special sense of satisfaction and happiness.


    However, no, nothing, only the noise from the street intermittently came to my ears, and the location around me was empty.


    He took out the phone and called Melanie.


    Now Melanie is also in a stage of very chaotic career and life.


    The Spice Girls group ended their global tour, Halivell withdrew, Victoria wanted to get married, and other members were also pregnant. It seems that this star group, which has become a household name in the British music scene just a few years after its debut, is on the verge of falling apart.


    They don''t know what the future will be, they are in a stage of joint discussion, but no matter what, the glory they can achieve has begun to discount.


    Aldridge didn''t know how Melanie was in contact with Aldridge for a month and a half.


    After he called, no one answered and was hung up directly.


    Twice in a row.


    Aldridge put the phone down a minute later and received a text message from Melanie.


    "Don''t contact me again, I will not change my mind, I will raise the child myself, it has nothing to do with you!"


    After reading the text message, Aldridge grabbed the ashtray and turned and fell into the room...

 Chapter 374： Utilitarian football

    Cristiano Ronaldo excitedly took the phone in his room to announce the family news. Just now Andrew came to inform him and helped him get a NIKE contract.


    He made money!


    ¡ê50,000!


    That was a huge sum in his eyes.


    He was telling his mother about it, and there was a sense of pride in it.


    His mother kept telling him to listen to Aldridge on the phone...


    Aguero and Messi play video games in the room.


    De Rossi and Balzali sneaked into the room to watch Japanese love action movies.


    Drogba called Pedretti to sneak out of the hotel to see Tokyo''s nightlife, but was caught on the spot by Craig and was being reprimanded in the room.


    Villa and Alonso have a room, the former wears headphones to listen to music, the latter reads a book...


    And their boss, the club''s ultimate boss Aldridge, was in the room with Andrew to discuss the custody of future children.


    The room was a bit messy, Aldridge''s ashtray was smashed, and he wasn''t in a good mood.


    When Andrew arrived, he saw the scene in the room and knew that Aldridge was in a bad mood.


    And it is unprecedented.


    He had never seen Aldridge use slamming to vent his anger.


    Aldrich leaned against the sofa, his eyes closed, his hand resting on his chin.


    After he had finished speaking things in an expressionless tone, Andrew didn''t speak for a long time.


    When Aldridge opened his eyes to stare at him, he sighed: "You and she are not married, there is no question of custody! The child is hers, she is willing to be a single mother, this is her decision, you want to raise children Even if you go to court, it is impossible to win. Her economic conditions determine that if you go to court, you will definitely lose. However, you have the right to visit. This has nothing to do with whether you are married or not. You can visit the child."


    Aldrich kept shaking his head and said in a cold voice: "I will not appear to my own child like a stranger in every conspiracy!"


    Andrew whispered after a moment of thinking: "If you have to maintain custody, then it is not impossible."


    "how is it?"


    "If, I mean if, she took drugs..."


    "No, no, no, Andrew, you shouldn''t have such an idea, let alone say it!"


    Aldridge stood up, still shaking his head.


    Andrew''s words are too dangerous.


    Perhaps, the Hall family is getting richer and more and more acquaintances, but it does not mean that they can be traitors and ignore the law.


    Andrew''s words are a hint that Aldrich cannot accept it, and must warn Andrew that he must cut off any signs of similar thoughts in everything.


    "Aldrich, do you know what the end of this lawsuit is?"


    Aldrich turned his head to stare at him, he said: "Men and women turned against each other, slander each other, attack, magnify each other¡¯s shortcomings, expose each other¡¯s possible illegal or morally corrupt behavior, if you decide to go to court, Melanie¡¯s The lawyer will also let her attack you like this."


    Aldridge fell silent.


    If the end of things would be like this, it would be cruel


    Andrew sighed and stood up, pressing his shoulders and saying seriously: "I also heard of her news, think about it from her standpoint, she is now a double blow to career and love, maybe she just sent it to you just now The text message is just a moment''s talk, wait for her to calm down, you also calm down, instead of going to the final court, this will definitely end with a step of mutual hatred, you also said, if you think she continues her music career She will definitely ignore the family. That¡¯s not what you want. When she realizes that she can¡¯t spend more time with her children, she may have a change of concept? I advise you to wait patiently.¡±


    Aldrich was indeed fascinated by some authorities, but Andrew made sense, but he was still uncomfortable.


    After Andrew left, Aldridge lay directly on the bed, his eyes staring blankly at the ceiling.


    The next day, Aldridge did not rest well during the day and drank a lot of coffee to keep his spirits. The first team confirmed the starting list and conducted the pre-match preparation meeting yesterday morning.


    The game took place in the evening and came out all over the place. Millwall and Vasco da Gama, a European Champions Cup champion, a South American Libertadores Cup champion, will join the Toyota Cup!


    Even though Millwall has had a trip to Asia in the summer and has a very high popularity in Japan, the support of the Brazilian team in Japan is not low in view of the fact that Japan and Brazil have a deep relationship.


    Tokyo National Sports Arena.


    Aldridge stood coldly on the sidelines, waiting quietly for the game to begin.


    With the foreshadowing of the game yesterday, Japanese fans are more curious about what level the Millwall first team will play in this final.


    Larson and Pirlo are still recuperating, and are expected to return to the team for training in ten days. They also came to Tokyo with the team in suits and leather shoes sitting in the stands to watch the game.


    The Vasco da Gama team began to show their players'' personal technical ability after the game started. This is a characteristic of South American teams. South American teams have always been behind tactics in Europe, but they can make up for the gap through personal capabilities.


    However, in the post-Bosman rule era, the South American team continued this characteristic, but the club''s strength has declined for years.


    Millwall played transmission control today, reducing the space given to opponents in the counterattack process.


    They have a higher rate of possession than usual, and will not rush to shoot, patiently looking for opportunities.


    The game was a bit dull since the opening, and there were not many exciting scenes.


    It wasn''t until the 37th minute of the first half that Millwall assisted Ronaldinho with a series of short passes to help Van Niles score a goal.


    "This is the typical European continental style of football. Millwall played very dominant today. They fell continuously and the offensive players ran back and forth in the frontcourt to tear the line of defense, but they were very cautious on the final pass, which seemed to be only 100%. Only when it is grasped will the threatening pass come out. Vasco da Gama has no shots. It seems that the gap between the strengths of the two teams is very disparate. There are only 8 minutes to end. The two teams combined only had 5-foot shots, all from Millwall. On average, we only saw one-foot shots over 7 minutes. Such a game cannot stimulate the audience''s nerves."


    Aldrich does not care, what he wants is an economical victory, minimum consumption!


    Millwall''s long-distance travel and the presence of players in business events will inevitably affect his physical condition. After this game, he will return to London. It is immediately a consecutive week of double matches, the League Cup, the final round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, followed by the Christmas Express, the team The victory of this game must be obtained at the minimum cost.


    After 1:0, Aldridge waved a big hand on the sidelines, Millwall began to shrink and hit his opponent to counterattack.


    When it was halftime, Aldridge directly replaced Nedved and Fanny.


    Behind is a 7-man defensive line, and the offense relies on Ronaldinho''s organization to transition, and then Henry and Glenshire crush the opponent with speed.


    The Vasco da Gama team was angry and wanted to scold the mother. They could not touch the ball in the first half. As long as the attack hit the 40-yard dangerous area in the second half, they would encounter Milwall¡¯s steely defense. They did not have the advantage in physical confrontation. On Millwall''s interlocking chain defensive system, they shoot a lot of times, but most of them are flying.


    The offensive force is invested again, and when the backcourt players also press up, Millwall''s counterattack is like a sword breaking into the heart of the opponent!


    Schneider cleared the ball from the backcourt and drove the ball to the frontcourt. Vasco da Gama defender came to the top. Henry went to the meeting with a single shot. After the goalkeeper attacked, he passed the ball back to Ronaldinho, who was almost 40 yards away from the goal. In the distance, Ronaldinho directly lobed the goal and sent the ball into the other goal.


    "Millwall expanded the score through a counterattack. Following this trend, the suspense of the game has disappeared. European football called Aldrich Hall a tactical master. Today he showed us a very utilitarian use of tactics. On the side, they did play a very smooth team cooperation in the first half, but there was no exciting scene, more like a lullaby, lethargic, their defensive counterattack was simple and efficient in the second half, using the player''s speed characteristics to find opportunities, But this is not what we are expecting from Millwall, the division of the European king who has fought against Real Madrid for 120 minutes."


    Aldrich didn''t care what other people thought, he scored another goal, he continued to replace, let Ronaldinho also rest, Henry just came back, the plan will give him the density of one game a week, stay on the field today, return to London After the league will let him rest.


    After the substitution was completed, he walked back to the coach seat and sat quietly waiting for the time of the game to pass.


    Today the Vasco da Gama¡¯s offense has no way, and his personal play is completely suppressed by Millwall¡¯s tough defense. This is also due to Boas¡¯s report. The analysis is very thorough, combining the characteristics and each player¡¯s characteristics. The game habits are analyzed, and Millwall is very targeted when marking. For example, Schneider¡¯s side-forward who is marking the opponent¡¯s frontier is perfect, because the opponent is a one-legged monster, forcing the opponent to use a weak foot when defending, the opponent It¡¯s basically a break.


    When the game ended, the score was fixed at 2:0, Millwall''s coach and players stood up from the bench to congratulate each other, and Pirlo and Larson also came down from the stands and smiled with their teammates Embrace and celebrate.


    Millwall won the Toyota Cup with his wish.


    During the celebration, Aldridge deliberately pulled Boas to his side and took a photo with his arms around the other side.


    In Boas'' ear, Aldridge sincerely said: "Thank you, today''s victory is your greatest contribution. We need a partner like you, which is both the guarantee of our success and the foundation of our new glory."


    After hearing this, Boas was both moved and excited, and was able to be affirmed by Aldridge''s own mouth. It was a great encouragement to him, even if the other party was only one year older than him, in Boaz''s heart, Aldridge was like a must-see Looking up at the high mountains.


    Ronaldinho, who had one pass after another, was elected the best in the game and got a Toyota car key.


    After receiving the reward, he ran to Aldridge and threw the car key to Aldridge. He laughed and said, "Boss, this car is for you."


    Aldridge scolded: "You just gave it to me because of trouble?"


    Ronaldinho laughed straight and didn''t explain.


    Aldridge turned his head and threw the car key to Boas again, laughing: "It''s a reward for you."


    Speaking of which, the salary of the coach is not as high as that of the players, not even 1/20 of the top salary of the team. Boas received the reward, and then the client sold the car and converted it into money before leaving Tokyo. Own account.


    Before Millwall won the title and returned to London, the Times published a highly ridiculous title.


    "For the Grand Slam, will Millwall consider withdrawing from the top three? ¡·The article counts the trophies, league cups, FA cups, league championships, community shields, European super cups, European winners cups, European championship cups and Toyota cups that Millwall has won over the years.


    What is the difference between Millwall and the Grand Slam?


    League Cup.

 Chapter 375： Little girl in the countryside

    After winning the Toyota Cup, Millwall set off on his way home. The players had not rested for a long time on the plane. The quality of the rest was not high. Returning to London, Aldridge took another day off for the team. They did not return to training until two days before the weekend of the league. field.


    After jogging with Ewen in the morning, Aldridge had breakfast with her. Something went wrong with her car and sent it for repair. Aldridge drove her to the club with her.


    On the way, Yiwen asked curiously: "Is Japan fun?"


    Driving the car, Aldridge shook his head and said: "I didn''t go to play, it was either a commercial event or a game."


    "Don''t you have an affair?"


    "Oh, huh, no."


    "Find time to go to Japan and have fun once?"


    "Without this idea, there are too many people in that country. I have to work in a stadium of tens of thousands of people every week. When I travel, I must first try to be quiet."


    "Eh? Is this crowd phobia?"


    "Two things, I''m not afraid to communicate with people."


    The two chatted happily along the way, the club arrived soon, Aldridge came early, had a rest yesterday, and wanted to get to work early today.


    At the gate of the club, he stopped the car and looked curiously at the gate security guard and a little girl in a confrontation.


    The little girl looked about ten years old, with a beautiful appearance, good facial features, plain dress, and no fancy visual sense of boys and girls.


    "What happened?"


    Aldrich export inquiry.


    The person on duty at the door is Berry. He is in his thirties and has worked here for more than four years. He is a veteran employee of the Aldridge era. He can often chat with Aldrich.


    The conscientious man replied: "Mr. Hall, this kid said he was going to find coach Fiona, but coach Fiona has not yet come."


    Aldridge looked at the little girl, his mouth flattened slightly aggrieved.


    Taking out his mobile phone to find Fiona''s phone, Aldridge dialed and found the other party''s phone turned off, so he smiled and asked, "What is your relationship with Ms. Fiona?"


    "She is my mother."


    "What''s your name?"


    "Rosie Whitley."


    Aldrich thought about it, and security guard Bailey was afraid that Aldridge mistakenly thought he was not close to humanity, and explained: "Mr. Hall, she can''t prove this, I can''t let her in."


    Aldridge nodded with a smile, understanding Bailey''s difficulties.


    Two years ago, little fans posing as club staff or relatives of players mixed into the club just to get close to idol stars.


    At that time, there was a farce still fresh in memory. An Eastern European immigrant posing as Nedved¡¯s younger brother... The club staff was really deceived at the time, and received the other courteously and courteously. When Nedved came, the so-called "" The half-brother directly threw himself up to hug Nedved, and Sergey told his admiration in his ear.


    "Get in the car, I''ll take you in, and Ms. Fiona will come to work within an hour."


    "it is good."


    Whitley glared at the security guard Bailey before getting on the bus, and was very dissatisfied with the behavior that Bailey had rejected her just now.


    Bailey pouted, little child, not as general as her.


    "You get on someone else''s car so easily, don''t you have no sense of crisis?"


    Ewen turned his head in the co-pilot position and smiled at Whitley sitting in the back seat.


    Whitley didn''t take it seriously: "I knew him, I saw it in the newspaper, and my mother also talked about him, Aldridge Hall. I''m not a stupid kid, I came to London from the country alone, There is no danger!"


    Aldridge drove to the parking lot and smiled: "Ms. Fiona has talked about me? What did she say about me?"


    Whitley rolled her eyes and said, "She praises you and says you are a great person!"


    "Ha ha ha ha... Yi Wen, she is an elf ghost, where is the simplicity of the countryman?"


    Yiwen also smiled.


    Who would just praise when talking about others in private?


    Still great?


    Yiwen said to her, crying and laughing: "You talk to please him, he won''t give your mother a salary increase or a bonus."


    Whitley''s eyes rolled again, a serious one: "Actually my mother said that he is sometimes rigid."


    "Very good, your mother''s salary this week is gone!"


    Aldridge said solemnly with a stretched face.


    Whitley was anxious and shouted, "Hey, why are you like this? Praise you, you don''t appreciate it, just say a little bad things, you are so bad!"


    Aldridge replied unkindly: "You have a lot of thoughts, why should you deliberately be hypocritical?"


    Whitley groaned her cheeks and said, "My dad told me, let me come here to talk to adults and have a sweeter mouth."


    "What is your father?"


    "Run my family''s farm."


    "Don''t listen to your father, people in the city are not stupid, and flattering is not as direct as you."


    When the parking lot arrived, Aldridge got out of the car. He touched Whitley¡¯s head and smiled: "This sister will take you to wait for your mother. If you want to visit here, we are very welcome. Let¡¯s get acquainted. Aldrich Hall."


    Aldrich probably used to be in an equal posture with the child, the big hand touching her head fell, and bent down to shake her hand.


    Whitley stared at Aldridge''s face up close, seeming to become a little nervous, his hand reaching slightly cramped.


    When the big and the small hands were held together, Aldridge could not help but say: "This is the first time you shake hands with others?"


    Whitley nodded embarrassedly and said, "Yeah, so grown, someone shook my hand for the first time."


    "Big? How old are you, don''t say it, bye."


    Aldridge made eye contact with Ewen for a moment, then waved his hand and turned away.


    Whitley stared at his back thoughtfully, and Ewen then took her to the club''s office building, and along the way, Whitley Twitter asked Ewen about Audric.


    When the training time was approaching, the players came to the training ground one after another. Aldridge and Klinsmann were exchanging the training plan. The team¡¯s laborers returned from the expedition. The training intensity is usually not good. Adjustment.


    The fitness coach Fiona was late and walked in front of Aldridge as soon as she arrived, saying earnestly: "Audrich, sorry, my daughter came to London to visit me and caused trouble for the club."


    Aldridge waved his hand and said, "What trouble? Without any trouble, she is very sensible and a good boy."


    Fiona didn''t say much anymore. After working with Aldridge for more than three years, she knew that Aldridge''s temperament was not the kind of selfless and impersonal guy.


    Under the warm-up of mature fitness coach Fiona, Millwall''s new day of training began again.


    The weekend league opponent is Leeds United. Millwall not only has more away games after the European War, he even has to play away after playing a Toyota Cup. This schedule is really bloody!


    At Elland Road Stadium, Aldridge stood on the sidelines to direct the team. He felt a sense of powerlessness from scalp to ankle.


    The team played so badly!


    Obviously, a pair of opponents can''t beat the opponent''s visual sense, and the success rate of passing and receiving has also dropped significantly.


    In the 41st minute of the game, Schneider made a direct pass in the backcourt to find the winger Glenchard. The result was a little light. Glenchard wanted to be behind the ball. As soon as the ball came out, he rushed forward and found the ball in two steps. He couldn''t get through at all, so he wanted to go back and catch it, but late, Leeds United full-back made a quick counterattack after grabbing the ball.


    Australian star Kewell took the ball on the wing and cut in directly and then hit Matrazi behind. Hasselbaink pushed the goal diagonally and shot the far corner of the goal.


    "Leeds United led Millwall at home 1-0. This goal came from Schneider''s passing error. After being counterattacked by Leeds United, the cooperation between Kewell and Hasselbaink was impressive. David O''Reilly''s team is much better than people expected. Does anyone still miss Graham on Elland Road? They already have a young coach O''Reilly, er, sorry, with Hall present , The word marshal really shouldn''t be used on other people."


    David O''Reilly, who played Arsenal''s legend for more than 15 years, spent the last two years of his career at Leeds United. After Graham''s Spurs, he took the pointer and led Leeds United in the Premier League for a while. The youth storm, its momentum is not inferior to that of Millwall''s time-honored debut.


    Aldridge was helpless on the sidelines.


    In the past week, the team spent nearly 30 hours on the plane, two days of business activities, one day from the preparation to the end of the Toyota Cup, the most terrible thing is to pour two jet lag, adjust the body clock, the players are not here today State, he was prepared, but he did not expect the gap to be so great.


    The reason for the poor performance is clear at a glance, but the head coach''s adjustment on the spot can''t make the player''s extremely poor physical condition full of blood.


    Originally, Millwall was playing anti-anti, deliberately strengthening the defense, but there was a desperate Sanlang Alan Smith in the opposing team. The youngster who just got a contract in the new season will never stop running on the court. It is not to say that other Leeds United players are not as hard as he is, and the key is his position. O''Reilly made Smith a partner for Hasselbaink. Smith is more like a defensive striker, tirelessly harassing Millwall''s defense.


    Schneider''s passing error came from Smith''s aggressively killing him, and the pressure of the pass was not well controlled under pressure.


    In the box at Elland Road Stadium, Leeds United Chairman Ritzdale and his assistant watched the game here. After Leeds United scored a goal, he celebrated. When the score at the end of the halftime did not change, he turned his head and started to communicate with the assistant. Human expressions are a little serious.


    "In a recent football professional agency evaluation report, Millwall''s club value reached 170 million pounds."


    His assistant said.


    Ritzdale was thoughtful.


    Before 1994, or before the summer of 1995, how much was Millwall Club worth?


    Worthless, and still lose money!


    Because they defaulted on the new stadium plan, the contract with the contractor was nearing the deadline for breach of contract.


    If there is no capital injection from the Hall family, Millwall must be on the road to bankruptcy or borrowing debt.


    But in just a few years, Millwall''s value has soared, and it is now second only to Manchester United, Liverpool, and Arsenal.


    "What is the focus of this value assessment?"


    Ritzdale asked quietly.


    The assistant quickly replied: "Player value accounts for more than 70%."


    This is not surprising, Millwall¡¯s club infrastructure is not worth much at all, and even Leo Training Base surpassed the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium in its asset evaluation.


    And when their players are included in the club''s asset evaluation, their value will not be held high. Larson is valued at 10 million pounds, Nedved is also 10 million pounds, and Henry is devalued, 6 million pounds.


    The reason is that the value of the players fluctuates too much. In addition, there is a relationship with the contract period. In case the players transfer freely after three or four years, the club will not receive a penny, so the value of the players will be discounted in the evaluation. .


    Ritzdale murmured: "If there are no good players, how much is Millwall worth?"

 Chapter 376： Fight for the League Cup?

    Ritzdale''s exclamation sounded awkward in the assistant''s ears, and he was groaning free of illness.


    Nonsense.


    Without good players, the club is definitely worthless.


    If Manchester United do not have 92 top players such as Schumacher, Keane and Stam, what will Manchester United do to get a good record? What do you make money for?


    "Cough, Millwall ranked seventh from the bottom of the Premier League in the summer of 1996. One year later, in the summer of 1997, they ranked sixth in the Premier League. In the operating income statistics half a month ago, they Second only to Manchester United, it ranks eighteenth in Europe. If you count their revenue from selling players, there is no doubt that they are the most profitable team in Europe."


    Ritzdale listened and thought that Millwall¡¯s income was mainly supported by excellent records. The European Cup Winners¡¯ Cup + League Championship made them the sixth-ranked team in the league. Let their income be second only to Manchester United.


    "It is predicted in the evaluation report that if Millwall can maintain the results of the past two years, then in 2001, they will become the Premier League, and even the highest operating club in Europe."


    Why is it 2001?


    Because Millwall will move into the new stadium in 2000, operating income will leap forward again.


    Ritzdale said sternly: "Maintain the record of the past two years? Take an average league championship and a Champions League every two years? Plus the FA Cup and the League Cup? What a joke, the Champions League is so easy to get Did they have a lot of luck in winning the championship last season? Eliminating Juventus by the last minute lore, winning Real Madrid is a penalty, and come again? See if they can also Juvetus lore."


    The assistant said: "In fact, as long as Millwall can keep entering the Champions League and entering the knockout, their operating income will steadily rank among the top ten in Europe after moving into the new stadium. It¡¯s not surprising to win a few championships and become the richest club in Europe. When they returned from Tokyo, Millwall¡¯s club CEO Adam Jane made a statement. I don¡¯t know if you heard it.¡±


    Ritzdale was not interested and shook his head: "I haven''t heard it, it''s just that Millwall won another championship trophy."


    "No, it has nothing to do with the Toyota Cup. Adam Jane announced that Millwall already has more than 10 million fans in Asia."


    "What if Millwall has 100 million fans in Asia?"


    Ritzdale scoffed.


    The broadcast of the Premier League is packaged and sold, as is the Champions League. The number of fan groups does affect the distribution of the Premier League broadcast. However, the Premier League has its own assessment method, not what Millwall unilaterally declares.


    There are so many fans in Asia, how much can the club''s operating income increase?


    Will 1% of them buy genuine jerseys?


    Will you buy season tickets?


    On the most intuitive income, foreign fans bring benefits to the club.


    Ritzdale¡¯s point of view, his assistant did not agree, patiently explained to him: "Adam Jane¡¯s words are not meant for the club owner Hall, nor for the fans, he just used A tactful way is to tell the sponsor: Millwall¡¯s influence in Asia! Although it is possible to exaggerate the facts, the effect is definitely good."


    This is how Ritzdale reacted. It turns out that this is a marketing strategy of "surrounding Wei to save Zhao".


    The greater the number of Millwall fans abroad, it does not intuitively bring huge revenue to their clubs, but it allows sponsors to pay more for the sponsorship fee. This trip to Tokyo, Millwall not only brought back a The Toyota Cup trophy also signed 5 new sponsorship contracts. The sponsors are all Asian companies, which is an important way for international influence to bring business income.


    Finally, the assistant summed up: "Millwall has been able to rise rapidly in recent years, from a worthless club to a wealthy club in Europe. The most important thing is two points, one record, the second, commercial development, specifically snatching In the fan market, all commercial income of the football club is directly or reversibly paid by the fans. In other words, the team earns all the money of the fans."


    Ritzdale looked at the stadium without a word, and the second half was about to begin, but he was thinking about how to make the white roses of Yorkshire bloom!


    "You said, if we seduce Millwall''s players, can we achieve our goals?"


    Ritzdale also wants to make Leeds United into a strong team that can make money. In his heart, he thinks that it is so little, just a little!


    Last season Leeds United ranked sixth in the league. Although this season temporarily ranked fifth, the gap with the top four has been widened. In the context of the UEFA Champions League expansion next season, he naturally hopes that the team can share that attractive At the beginning of the season, he was still very disappointed, because he wanted to dig in and Martin O''Neill declared a failure. Unexpectedly, O''Reilly surprised him.


    His assistant shook his head and said: "The first team''s main force will definitely not come to Elland Road. The replacement team is promising, but it must be bought, not to mention how much the transfer fee will be blackmailed, at least to the players in Millwall More than 1.5 times the treatment."


    Ritzdale said lightly: "If Leeds United can enter the UEFA Champions League all year round, and there is hope to compete for the league title, the price is worth it. Didn''t Millwall spend a lot of money to rebuild the team in the summer of 1994? I remember that all of England was laughing at Hall at that time. He spent the transfer fee of the total of the top three teams in the Premier League at that time and gave a higher salary than the total of the first team of Manchester United. The outside world thinks that it will not take two years. Millwall It will definitely go bankrupt, but after two years, Millwall''s value has more than ten times."


    His assistant nodded. At this point, he couldn¡¯t refute Ritzdale. To make this white rose bloom in Leeds United, it¡¯s simply not enough to have the excellent players trained by the young coach O''Reilly and a few youth players. They must introduce high-level players so that the record can be improved immediately and qualitatively.


    In the second half of the game, Millwall''s attack was simple and rude. Since the player''s physical fitness can''t keep up, the straight up and down push can''t play the speed advantage, and the back row is plugged in and can''t be pulled back from the attack to the defense, then the easiest to play attack.


    But Leeds United really came into being today. Like their young coach David O''Reilly, with a sturdy sharpness, there is really a bit of the shadow of Millwall.


    In the second half, Aldridge dispatched troops to adjust his tactics. But Millwall¡¯s offense was to fight thunder and not rain. The only result was a result of no results. He needed to hide a deeper offensive point. Like Lampard plugged in the attack, Leeds United¡¯s The defense has been alert to him.


    In the last twenty minutes, Aldridge let Southgate also insert an assist. This adjustment is the same as putting Real into the attack when playing Real Madrid. The result is good.


    Southgate plugged in all the way. Because of the inertia of Leeds United''s mark, Southgate suddenly caught up and caught them off guard. The tight defense showed flaws. As a result, Southgate went all the way to the penalty area and received Nedwig. Germany''s straight ball hits the goal!


    The ball flew directly into the stands.


    Aldridge looked at this unbearable shot, but only felt a little regret in his heart, but did not complain about Southgate. Originally, he was a defender, but he went to the opponent''s penalty area to complete a kick...


    After the shot, Southgate touched the back of the thigh, and his expression suddenly became a bit painful. He saw Leeds United about to kick the goal kick. He killed him, and the back defense was lacking. So he sat down and the referee had no choice but to see him. Blowing stopped the game.


    Elland Road Stadium booed, thinking Southgate was not kind to do so.


    You **** rushed up to complete a free kick shot, we are going to fight back, you start to defraud our excellent fighter, really fucking!


    Southgate is not a scam, it is a real injury!


    The team doctor gave Aldridge a substitution gesture. After Southgate sat down, Aldridge asked Ferdinand to warm up. After receiving the confirmation from the team doctor, Aldridge reluctantly handed over the exchange list.


    The price of a Toyota Cup is a bit big.


    Looking at Larsson and Pirlo''s comeback, the captain is hurt again.


    After Southgate came off, Millwall''s situation was a bit passive. The opponent slammed the newly played Ferdinand. This forced Millwall''s midfielder to return to the defense deeper. When Millwall was about to change from defense to offense, but Advance slowly.


    At the end of the ninety minute game, the score was still 1:0 and Millwall lost to Elland.


    Fans of Leeds United were as happy as they were during the New Year. Aldridge went straight to shake hands with O''Reilly, and the other party took the initiative to walk towards him. Aldridge didn''t want to talk more, but the other party was very enthusiastic. Derich didn''t listen, and nodded and left the court.


    In the press conference after the game, the reporters on Fleet Street looked serious. When Aldridge arrived, someone asked: "What is the reason why Millwall lost this game? Are they underestimating the enemy?"


    Aldrich shook his head, belittle the enemy? surely not.


    "Leeds United performed better today. They deserve to win. My players are too tired. We haven''t eased from the fatigue of the journey to and from Japan. I believe that the performance of the next players will improve. If If not, then we have to adjust the season goals. Maybe we should consider considering next season to compete for the UEFA Cup championship trophy to complete the club honors slam."


    As soon as his words fell, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly changed, from serious and dull to relaxed.


    As Millwall has come over the past few years, the reporters who have followed the report for a long time are all a few years older, and the Audridge in their eyes is slowly changing, growing, and mature.


    Like his mentality now is a good expression.


    Losing a goal is not as if the end of the world is coming. Find the cause and solve the problem. Don¡¯t make things complicated. It will not put more pressure on the players and make them nervous because of the loss.


    There is no losing team on the football field, but to become a winning general, one must learn to face the defeat more calmly.


    After commenting on the game, Fleet Street sent praises to both teams.


    He praised the strength of the Leeds United Youth Army and praised Aldridge''s glorious style.


    As a result, four days later, when Millwall¡¯s backup lineup lost to Leicester City in the League Cup quarter-finals, the tone of Fleet Street changed completely...


    Two consecutive losing games in the League Cup, which is very rare in Millwall.


    Before the advent of the Christmas Express, Millwall¡¯s state was clearly not ideal. Audridge hoped to give the main force more rest time to adjust the state in preparation for the Christmas Express, the League Cup was eliminated, he was not lost at all, the original stage Even training is the main, and the status of the substitute players is not good. It is also reasonable to be eliminated by O''Neill''s team. It is just that Tony abused Mills to make him look ugly.

 Chapter 377： Play happily

    When questioning Millwall in the outside world, in the 17th round of the Premier League, Millwall played away continuously and beat Middlesbrough 1-0 at the Riverside Stadium.


    The scoring method was a penalty. Henry broke through in the penalty area and was tripped over by the opposing defender. Nedvide rushed. In the absence of Larsson, he was the first penalty player and the second pick was the small. Luo.


    Such an unconvincing victory left Aldridge with a problem bombardment after the game, but he calmly stated that he won by 3 points.


    He is adjusting the team''s state. For the next period of time, Millwall''s game will be at least very stable. Before the Champions League knockout begins, they will fight in the homeland.


    Before the final round of the UEFA Champions League group match, the media calculated the points of each group and came to a conclusion: Millwall and Inter Milan''s last match will be a battle of garbage!


    The two teams have joined hands to qualify!


    Thinking of the first round of the group stage, the two teams played apart. Millwall in Meazza 5:4 Lectra Inter Milan, everyone is looking forward to the last game when the two teams meet again will be a life and death battle, but unexpectedly, the other two **** The team, Sparta Moscow and Graz, are completely out of line, giving each team 10 points and 12 points.


    Millwall scored 13 points to make the finals. There is no difference between the first group and the second group with the best results. Inter Milan scored 12 points. In the case of other teams generally having fewer points, they are also sure to get the best results. The top two in the group second, so Inter Milan also qualified in advance.


    In the final round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, the encounter between the two teams was completely routine.


    Does Inter Milan want revenge? Want to save face?


    Sorry, they are in a dire straits in Serie A. They ran to Wembley and Millwall to die. Isn''t it fun to ask for it?


    At the UEFA official press conference, Odri? heard from an Italian reporter that Inter Milan would send a full substitute to play this game. Ronaldo and Baggio did not even make the roster.


    All in all, Huo Taigong is also unlucky. This season, when he entered the Inter Milan, he just happened to meet Ronaldo and he was closely watched by Serie A teams, as well as the so-called World Cup syndrome of many players. Inter''s record is not as good as last season, as are other strong teams At the beginning of the season, the situation in Serie A was just as chaotic as the dominance of seven players. When it was almost halfway, Lazio and AC Milan began to sing against Taiwan.


    And Ronaldo Gabbaggio''s Roro combination is very powerful in imagination, but in fact never formed, Moratti began to change his mind again, but the team advanced to the knockout tournament in the UEFA Champions League, during this period, the change of coaching is a bit unreasonable.


    "Inter Milan sent a full substitute, what about Millwall? Will it also be a perfunctory attitude towards the game?"


    Faced with such a problem, Aldridge shook his head seriously, saying: "We take every game seriously and seriously, we will not despise the game because we are out of the game, let alone against an opponent like Inter Milan, Maybe they will send most of the substitutes, but their team masters are like clouds. Even if they are substitutes, the combat effectiveness is also very strong. Millwall must go all out to win the game."


    The reporters were excited when they heard it.


    Very good, Inter Milan came off the bench, Millwall went all out at home, it is best to wash Inter Milan bloody, big ears seeds fiercely smoke the other side!


    "So which players will Millwall send tomorrow? Nedved? Who will start Henry and Fanny?"


    "Huh? What are you asking?"


    "Is it easy to reveal tomorrow''s starting lineup?"


    Aldridge coughed twice and said, "No problem, I can tell you.


    Goalkeeper: Keller.


    Guards: Ferreira, Ferdinand, Mills, Neal.


    Midfielders: Van der Mede, Gattuso, Lampard, Duff.


    Forwards: Klose, Glenshare.


    If there are no surprises, this is the starting line. "


    Aldrich''s words just fell, and the reporters on the stage stared at him with fiery eyes.


    This Nima also said to go all out?


    You **** people who can''t even get into the league bench list like Ferreira have put it out, saying that they value the game?


    Fleet Street understands Aldridge''s temperament, and he is not surprised.


    But the Italian reporter was angry, and some people stood up and accused: "Mr. Hall, you are all playing with us! Is this your attitude towards the public media? ?"


    Aldrich asked inexplicably: "Which sentence is deceiving me?"


    "..."


    Some things are that everyone¡¯s heart is unspoken, there is a consensus in understanding, but they can¡¯t say it.


    Millwall not only sent a substitute, but he was even more ruthless. Even U20 players were sent directly to the starting lineup, but who can say that this is an absolute contempt?


    Think about the superstars that Millwall has created, aren''t they all on the big stage around the age of 18? And some also provoke girders.


    David Miller of The Times came out to round the field, and he used new topics to resolve conflicts.


    "Can you look forward to the Champions League knockout? Which team does Millwall least want to meet?"


    Aldridge shrugged: "The qualifying teams of the other groups are not sure, and I don''t know which opponents Millwall has a chance to meet.


    "Then expand the scope and talk about it, for example, will you be afraid of meeting Manchester United, Bayern Munich? Their shooter status is very good."


    Aldridge shook his head slightly and said, "We are defending champions. From the bottom of our hearts, we should not have the idea of ??avoiding a certain team. In the knockout, no team is a weak player, so I want to follow it. Naturally, just face it with your heart."


    Speaking of this, so far this season, the most focused shooters in Europe are four people.


    The first was Batty, who shot a machine gun in Serie A.


    The second is Bayern''s Elber.


    The third is Manchester United''s York.


    The fourth is Millwall''s Nedved.


    Strictly calculated, Nedved cannot be called a shooter.


    However, he counted more than 30 goals in various events of the year. He hasn''t ended in 1998. He is likely to break the 35 goals mark. Now he has 32 goals and 22 assists.


    In the case where Millwall sold Trezeguet and Shevchenko in the summer, and Larson was injured at the beginning of the new season, the first half of the season was almost relying on Nedved to carry Millwall in advance. Because of his repeated standing at critical moments, Ronaldinho, Lampard, Fanny and others did not have so much pressure in the game, the sky collapsed, and the **** of war Nedved was on top!


    So now regarding the Golden Globe winners, the most popular candidates are Nedved and Zidane.


    After the pre-match press conference, before the start of the game the next day, there were obviously large empty seats in the Wembley stands. The stadium was too large. There were fewer than 50,000 fans buying tickets to enter the stadium. Everyone heard that Inter Milan sent The bench lineup, there is a fart to watch!


    Before the game started, Aldridge came to the court early to chat and fart with Mrs. Huo.


    Huo Taigong''s expression has changed significantly compared to when he played three months ago, and the two of them have a great time talking.


    It is very strange that although Aldridge and Hodgson draw from the group to today, the time span is more than three months, but the time for the two to meet and talk is less than 20 hours, but their attitudes and atmosphere have been changing.


    When Inter Milan killed Graz in the last round, the points reached 12 points and then observed the situation of other teams, after confirming that he could qualify, Huo Taigong was relieved in spirit, he could play with Audridge again happily.


    Hodgson and Aldrich chatted eloquently as if they could not say anything.


    Aldrich speculated: It is estimated that this product was drowned in saliva in Milan City, and he did not dare to spread it when he was angry. Finally he returned to the United Kingdom. This is to say what he wants to say in a lifetime!


    When the game started, Hodgson''s topic returned to the game.


    Aldrich was very puzzled. The opponent told him a lot of things about the players sent by Inter Milan in this game. He wants to check the status of someone and see if his level is worth the price...


    Does this have anything to do with me?


    However, when Hodgson finally closed his mouth and looked at Aldridge, Aldridge realized.


    Huo Taigong''s eyes can talk!


    Aldridge knew what he wanted.


    As if Hodgson was saying: Let''s play a tacit ball!


    Come to a draw and shake hands, no one hurts face, Millwall is still the first qualifying group, we hand in hand happily qualify for the knockout, as long as we no longer meet, we are good friends for life!


    Aldridge only chuckled.


    When he turned and walked to the coach seat, he apologized to Hodgson: sorry.


    It''s not that he doesn''t want to play tacit ball, but that the conditions are not allowed.


    If Millwall had only one team, the main force was supporting the last game. Under today''s situation, it will definitely not work hard to fight. The dull game will be dull, it does not matter if it is flat.


    But Millwall is on the bench today. Maybe Lampard is a little tired, but Pirlo is about to come back. As long as Pirlo¡¯s status can quickly return to the normal level, he will go to the bench and he bites. Teeth will be desperate in the game.


    Not to mention other young players, they usually play in the League Cup, the FA Cup, and most of the opponents are unknown low-level teams.


    Today, the pie fell on the head and hit Serie A giants Inter Milan, and it is the stage of the Champions League. .


    Young people, cherish the opportunity, maybe you will become famous!


    When the game started, Huo Taigong''s eyes were almost staring out.


    Glenn Shahr assisted Klose after breaking through two people in a counterattack. The game had just started for 6 minutes.


    Inter Milan was suddenly brought up by Millwall''s fast pace.


    The two teams played another earth-shattering game this time.


    The substitute players on both sides tried very hard to perform, and were very enjoyable in attack.


    After all, Inter Milan encounters chain defense every day in the Italian arena. How could it be as smooth as playing Ma Pingchuan against Millwall.


    After all, Ferreira is still young. Once the timing of the assists is not appropriate, he will lose position behind him. Inter Milan''s offensive focus is on his side, completely undefended.


    You come and go as much as you like, the game is pretty good and the goals are one after another.


    At the end of the game, Huo Taigong looked a little ugly.


    Inter Milan lost, 4:3, and lost another goal.


    Such a loss is more painful than a 1:0 loss.


    It will give people the feeling that Inter Milan vigorously worked hard with each other, and finally knelt down with blood.


    Hodgson shook his face when he shook hands with Aldridge. Aldridge laughed and said, "Haha, hahaha, good luck, a little bit better luck."


    Tai Huo shook his head and left Wembley.


    Aldridge was at a loss, wondering if he and Tai Huo could play happily in the future.


    At this point, all the quarterfinals of the European Champions Cup in the 98-99 season have been released.


    The three Premier League teams returned home in the Arsenal group stage. Manchester United advanced to the quarterfinals with Millwall with the better team in the second group.


    Dynamo Kyiv in Ukraine beats Premier League champion Arsenal and Ligue 1 champion Lance in the group stage.


    Germany''s Bayern Munich overwhelmed Manchester United and Barcelona to advance from the death group. Last season Bundesliga champion Kaiserslautern won the group''s first qualifying group in a relatively mediocre group.


    Italy''s Juventus was lucky to have the three teams with 8 points, making the team qualify first.


    Greek champion Olympiacos also qualified for the first place in the relatively weak group.

 Chapter 378： Lucky gunman

    Before Christmas, Millwall defeated relegation team Everton 3:0 at home, Ronaldinho became the protagonist in the game, and in the absence of Nedved, Aldridge still posed The formation of 442, but Ronaldinho''s role on the field changed from a full-back to a midfielder, activating Fanny and Henry on the front line. In the game, he made two shots and became the best player in the game.


    After the game, Aldridge was interviewed in the mixed area. Ronaldinho did not return to the dressing room and rushed directly to the mixed area. He yelled and rushed in front of the camera to hug Aldridge.


    "Boss, win!"


    He is excited for a reason, not just winning the game.


    The camera locks the two mentors and apprentices who have a good relationship. Aldridge smiles and pushes Ronaldinho away, and then looks at the camera seriously: "Chelsea lost? I don''t care much about them, yes, the situation in the standings after this game There have been changes, we were overtaken by Chelsea after losing to Leeds United, and now we are leading again, but Millwall¡¯s goal is not to exceed Chelsea, there are two teams in front of us, Manchester United and Arsenal, our season final The goal is: there is no team in front of us."


    "You said before the season that Arsenal will be dragged down by the European War. Now that they are out of the Champions League, they can concentrate on playing the league in the second half of the season. In this regard, do you think the situation has reversed? ."


    "Arsenal have performed surprisingly. It is important to know that in the first season of the Manchester United and Millwall players playing in the European War, the first half of the league has had a lot of ups and downs, but Arsenal are very stable, but their price is the Champions League. Failing to advance, I thought they would go all out to get tickets to the top 8 of the Champions League. As a result, they paid more attention to the league than I imagined. In the second half of the season, Arsenal may be easier from the schedule. They don¡¯t have a European mission. Fighting with Manchester United on the third line, starting from myself, I think Millwall will be stronger, because after Christmas, Pirlo and Larson will come back, and in March next year, Southgate will return to us. , When the team needs them most, I still believe that Millwall will succeed this season."


    "Okay thank you."


    After finishing the interview, Aldridge hugged Ronaldinho and said, "How long will you go back?"


    Before today''s game, Ronaldinho asked Aldridge for leave, and he wanted to return to Brazil to reunite with his family at Christmas.


    At this time, the team is going to play Christmas wars, and there are cheats for the Christmas Express schedule. It is when the staff is needed. Ronaldinho will take a leave at this time and change the other head coach. It is estimated that Chengdu will not agree. Unhappy and unable to concentrate on the game, it is better to let him go back to the festival happily. For the players who are drifting from different countries, Adrich has always given them holidays in this traditional festival.


    Before the game, Aldridge did not give him an accurate answer, only to say that he won Everton to talk about it, so Ronaldinho came to find Aldridge as soon as the game was over.


    After thinking about it, Ronaldinho extended a slap and said: "5 days, 2 days before Christmas and 3 days after."


    Aldrich thought about it and replied: "Give you 12 days, starting tomorrow, and report back on January 1, is there any problem?"


    Ronaldinho was overjoyed and nodded in a hurry: "No problem, I can definitely return to the team on time!"


    "Okay, stop playing, pay attention to safety, and take me to say hello to your family, Merry Christmas."


    "Well, boss, I also wish you a Merry Christmas, I will come back from Brazil to bring you gifts.


    "That''s not necessary."


    Ronaldinho hummed and left cheerfully.


    Aldrich just thought about it. Before January, Millwall had two more games. One game was the Christmas War on Christmas Day, and the other was three days after the Christmas War. Ronaldinho took 5 days off, just right. To cover these two games, simply give him a few more days. He wants to return to Brazil to reunite with his family, to relax and have fun at the festival, then have a good time, and don¡¯t be able to devote himself to the game without returning.


    This season''s Premier League competition is very stalemate, the top four first group competition is fierce.


    Manchester United, Arsenal, Millwall, Chelsea.


    The following Leeds United has been opened by a 6-point gap, but it is not too much. The ranking of the top four teams will always change after each round of playing, especially the position of the top team, after 18 rounds of league games. , The four teams take turns sitting, the average time for each team to sit in the top position for three or four rounds.


    Aldridge watched the European Golden Globe awards ceremony at home before Christmas.


    Nedved''s absence from Everton was due to Aldridge giving him a holiday, letting him go to the Golden Globe ceremony, and also taking a break at Christmas. He played a lot of games in the league and the Champions League this year. Under the special holiday background, he can have a happy holiday with his family.


    In front of the TV, when the voting result of the Golden Globe Awards was announced, Aldridge concealed his face and sighed, disappointed.


    The winner of the 1998 Golden Globe was Zidane, and Nedved came second.


    On the field statistics, Nedved finished Zidane, regardless of goals or assists.


    But in terms of club and national team honours, Nedved cannot be said to be defeated.


    Zidane has the league championship and the World Cup championship, especially the two goals in the finals is too high light, Nedved alone with the League Cup champion and Champions League champion, it is really difficult to compare with it.


    Before the results were revealed, Aldridge was actually mentally prepared.


    If the World Cup champion loses to the Champions League champion, this is indeed a bit unreasonable in the selection, especially in the context of Zidane and the league champion.


    The reason for his pity is: Nedved lost 2 votes to Zidane!


    2 votes!


    If two judges rank Nedved first in the voting order, Nedved is elected.


    His stats for goals and assists this year are so beautiful, almost leaving the vast majority of European strikers without self-confidence.


    Aldrich texted Nedved: Don¡¯t be disappointed, there is still a chance.


    The bad luck is only in the singular years. Nedved was not elected this year. The judges are going to be thundered. But in the year of the competition, the proportion of the national team honors selection is too large.


    He did not congratulate Nedved on winning the second place in the Golden Globe Awards. Perhaps in his heart, the second place is worthless, and people rarely remember that a certain star has won the Golden Globe Award, even if he remembers how? Isn''t the first one pressed on the head?


    Nedved smiled when he took the stage to receive the award. He hugged Zidane. After receiving the award, he saw Audridge''s text message and smiled back. I certainly knew that there was a chance, and I was not disappointed. Zidane¡¯s election was not controversial.


    He is very optimistic. He is only 26 years old this year. It is the year when the player is playing. It is the beginning of the player''s golden age. As long as he does not encounter major injuries, he maintains his current state of himself, even better than the full year performance of 98. Better has absolute confidence.


    Perhaps this confidence also stems from the trust in Aldridge. The two of master and apprentice together will definitely create greater glories.


    Christmas is approaching, the club is busier than usual, preparing Christmas gifts for each player, Aldridge will personally send a greeting card to each player, write a few messages, blessing for older players, and encouragement for young players Mostly, the players of the youth team are no exception. They are very excited to receive Aldridge¡¯s autograph cards. Most players will save them as treasures. Like Villa, when he does not train well or the game does not perform well, He would go home and open the drawer to see the greeting cards Aldridge gave him in the past two years. When he saw some inspirational words written on it, he would immediately sweep away his depression and rejuvenate.


    Many fan organizations will also send gifts to the club, even overseas fan organizations are no exception, so the club''s work is very busy.


    Friends and family asked Aldridge''s Christmas plan, and he responded without exception to the "diplomatic decree" to lead the team to play.


    On Christmas Eve, Aldridge attended a pre-Christmas press conference.


    In previous Christmas Wars, Millwall''s game was the focus, and the game was also exciting.


    But this year''s expectations are greatly reduced.


    Not because of opponents, their opponents are Arsenal, who are only one point behind them in points, and another London derby.


    The key is that Millwall has experienced a serious loss of personnel in the new season, plus a major injury stop.


    "When such a crucial game is coming, Ronaldinho returned to Brazil. Is this allowed by the club? Or did he decide it privately?"


    Fleet Street can no longer see Ronaldinho''s figure on the Millwall training ground. In addition, the Brazilian media has photographed Ronaldinho appearing in Rio de Janeiro, and the news is still negative. He and his friends played in the nightclub until late at night.


    Aldridge said lightly in the face of the problem: "He asked me for leave, and I agreed."


    The reporters felt incredible.


    The next game of the crazy lion is not to abuse food, it is to play the defending champion of the Premier League, and it is still away!


    Richard asked puzzled: "Why would you agree to his request for leave in the absence of a major general? We know that many foreign players will complain about the Premier League schedule at this time, but they are professional players. There should be a certain professional quality and obedience to reality."


    Aldrich did not agree, shaking his head: "My management philosophy does not need to be explained to outsiders, the players are also humans, and if they contradict the environment and reality, you cannot expect them to perform well. I am not accusing foreigners Players lack professionalism, but need to give them a certain amount of time to adapt. The fact that happened to Millwall is that during the first two years of my coaching, during the Christmas Express schedule, the foreign players such as Schneider and Makelele all performed well. Under normal levels, they have been very stable in the past two years."


    Richard frowned and asked, "Even if Ronaldinho returns to Brazil and stays at the nightclub, do you think it is good for him?"


    "I don¡¯t advocate that the players¡¯ nightlife is too rich, but I will not restrict them. As for Ronaldinho, wait for him to come back and see his performance. If he does not perform well, then he goes to the bench, Mill. The competition within the Wall team is very fierce. I believe he understands it. It is normal for young people to indulge occasionally. Many of you should have had the experience of staying out with friends for a long time, especially when I allowed him to return home. I will not blame him when the vacation is relaxed."


    Aldrich is telling the truth. Ronaldinho can play whatever he wants when he returns to Brazil. Anyway, it is less than half a month, and it is completely isolated from the team. Unlike the party scandal that occurred last year, the nature is completely different.


    Professional players are not saints. After work, they have fun and fun, as long as they don¡¯t want to lose their fun.


    "Talk about Nedved, will he appear in tomorrow''s game? Yesterday he has returned to London."


    "No, he will return to the team in the 20th round, and he will not be on the roster tomorrow."


    The Fleet Street reporters were depressed.


    Compared to last year¡¯s Christmas War against Millwall¡¯s star-studded star, this year¡¯s lineup has been greatly discounted, and neither of the team¡¯s hottest players in the first half of the season will play.


    Ferguson said in his comment: Arsenal is really lucky.

 Chapter 379： Unbelievable young handsome

    On Christmas Day, Millwall went on the roster and the coaching staff took the bus north on Seven Sisters Avenue.


    In such a day today, Millwall played lightly. On weekdays, the team administrators all took vacations in advance to let him go home for the holiday.


    Highbury Stadium is full of seats, Christmas atmosphere haunts the stadium stands, many fans dressed as Santa Claus to watch the game.


    The atmosphere of this London Derby was suddenly different from what it once was.


    In the fall of Arsenal and the rise of Millwall two or three years ago, even though there was no hatred between Arsenal and Millwall, there was a bit of hostility between the Gunners fans and the Lions fans. Now, the two teams are in the same city due to the same city. The hatred of the Derby relationship is very weak, and it can be said that there is no, but only that the competitors are not weak.


    Competition and hatred are two different things, just like Millwall and West Ham United, Chelsea is hatred, and it does not change because of the opponent or their own league rankings, team strength, and competition is more like Manchester United and Millwall. The relationship between the fans of the two teams is almost no friction, but no one wants to lower the other side in the stands. The passion of the war between the fans in the stands is more than enough.


    Aldridge didn¡¯t talk to Wenger today. He sat early on the coach seat waiting for the game to start.


    Wenger was more depressed. Arsenal maintained the initiative to defend the league, but ranked third in the Champions League and eliminated. At the end of the UEFA Champions League draw, everyone felt that Arsenal had no problem in that group, but unexpectedly even The team couldn''t catch the second.


    "Happy Christmas, audience friends. Today at Highbury, we will see the same city derby battle between defending champion Arsenal and Millwall. The difference between the two teams is only one point. Arsenal are ahead, Millwall Afterwards, Manchester United have one more point than Arsenal, Chelsea have one point less than Millwall. The top four teams are only one point away from the first to the fourth. There is a saying in the media that it is now London. The team is besieging the Manchester team. In fact, it looks the same. The focus of the English football is now undoubtedly from Manchester to London, Millwall, Arsenal, Chelsea. This is the backbone of London power."


    "Martin, don''t you talk about today''s game?"


    "I just don''t want to give the audience too high expectations. Although the two teams are ranked second and third, but Millwall is missing a major general today, Arsenal''s offensive firepower has also declined slightly this season, so this game I don¡¯t think it¡¯s as exciting as the Christmas War that Millwall participated in the previous two years."


    "Both teams are defensive teams. The league is about to finish halfway. The number of goals conceded by Arsenal is single digits, only 8, and Millwall lost 13 goals. The defense of the two teams is The Premier League is ranked in the top two, and the offensive firepower, the two teams are not much different, but compared to last season, both have dropped significantly, Arsenal''s French teenager Anelka began to cooperate with Bergkamp, Millwall''s golden trident last season completely disappeared in the first half of this season, and the best performing Ronaldinho and Nedved in the first half of the season are not on the big list. I think the game is definitely brilliant. Will be greatly discounted."


    "Oh, Wenger''s match with Hall last season was evenly divided. He defeated Millwall last season and scored 3 points. It was one of the key battles for Arsenal''s last championship. Coupled with the away defeat of Manchester United, I think Wenger To defend in the league, the game against Millwall at home must be won. What Hall''s idea is, I can''t predict, points behind, according to common sense, he should also take the initiative to attack, but in the team When there is clearly a lack of key players, he has few options."


    Arsenal''s defense this season is simply against the rhythm of the sky. The average age of the defenders is more than 32 years old, but they have radiated unparalleled energy. Their defensive level is directly catching up with the few goals conceded by Graham that year. However, considering that it was a 5-guard ultimate anti-anti-tactics, and now it is a 4-guard regular defensive counterattack, Arsenal''s defense line under Wenger has reached another level.


    Millwall''s lineup today gives a feeling that he can''t match Arsenal.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Materazzi, Ferdinand, Zambrotta.


    Midfielders: Van der Mede, Gattuso, Lampard, Makelele, Glenn Charles.


    Forward: Van Nistelrooy.


    Aldridge put out two defensive midfielders and put four people in the offense, two full-backs Garampard and Van Nistelrooy. The attacking formation is the big diamond four.


    Wenger came to the sideline fifteen minutes before the start of the game. He also sat on the coach''s bench. After learning of Millwall''s starting list, he frowned and felt a sense of misstep.


    According to the experience of last season, Millwall should play 433 or 442 even when playing away. I never thought it was a 451. The midfield is obviously focused on defense.


    This is troublesome.


    Arsenal''s offensive firepower has declined in the new season. Although Anelka is also known as a genius, the number of goals has not reached the level of a world-class striker, but according to his age, he can average two games. A ball is really amazing. Think of Alan Smith as a genius killer after scoring a goal in four or five games. Anelka is expected to be a future world-class killer.


    Aldridge also conducted a self-examination when he summarized the reasons for the defeat in the league last season.


    Millwall lost in two key battles, one against Manchester United and one against Arsenal.


    Although they won the opponent at home, they lost to the opponent by a three-point away game. At the end of the season, they lost one point to win the championship.


    Where did Millwall lose?


    Aldrich thought it was his problem.


    In the first half of the league, Millwall was behind in points, but he took the initiative to attack on the road, which increased the risk of losing the ball and eventually lost the game.


    If Millwall can stabilize his mind, or Aldrich can stabilize himself, forget the points gap, and face it with ordinary heart, maybe Millwall will have better results in those two games.


    Today he told the players clearly: Our goal in the game is not to lose.


    It sounds a bit ambitious, but this is the reality. Millwall hasn''t been arrogant enough to come to Highbury to face Arsenal, the top defensive player in the league.


    Nowadays, the Premier League is no longer able to break out of the world with blood and courage. With the influx of foreign players, the strength of each team has steadily improved, and the overall level of the Premier League is obviously rising.


    It would be naive to crush opponents only with **** fighting. Half of the teams in the Premier League kneel in front of Arsenal defenders.


    Aldrich believes that the league won not only rely on hard power, but also has very high requirements on the level of the head coach. He can¡¯t instill the passion of the team on the pole as before. When appropriate, learn to brake. Tolerantly, to maintain morale on the basis of not losing the ball, so that the team''s state avoids large fluctuations, the league is ultimately more stable than who.


    When the game started, the postures of the two teams were almost the same. Six-man defense, four-man offense, and even Millwall in defense, Lampard invested more.


    Ten minutes passed, and the commentator Martin Taylor was depressed.


    "Ten minutes after the start of the game, the two teams carried out a brutal strangling in the midfield. No one had a better chance to advance the attack to the dangerous area, and no shots appeared."


    "Wait, I think the head coaches of both teams want to win the game. They are mainly cautious in the first half. As the game time passes, they will definitely let go in the future."


    Wenger looked at the situation on the court with optimism.


    The players of Arsenal have almost reached the strongest state in his hands. The offensive and defensive transition is very smooth. The team''s offensive and defensive system is also difficult to be demanded, but there is a specific background, that is, they play defensive counterattack and the other party attacks. .


    Positional warfare is not what they are good at. Therefore, in the Champions League, when other teams are more patient and conservative, Arsenal are not as good as their opponents in terms of mentality and experience. The reason why Dynamo Kiev won the top position is to win the experience .


    To change this situation, Wenger must change the midfield. The combination of Vieira and Petit''s defense is no problem, but the offense, especially the positional battle, is lacking in talent, just like Aldridge vs. Lampard. The usage preferences are the same as Pirlo.


    Despite Bogkamp in Arsenal, there are really no traditional players in the starting lineup.


    Wenger believes this is what Arsenal lacks. When opponents also play defensive counterattacks, there are not many opportunities for Arsenal''s positional battles. The lack of team creativity is the fatal reason that restricts the team''s more abundant play.


    In the 17th minute of the first half, the first foot shot of the audience finally appeared, which came from Pirenec''s long shot to the defensive bag and rushed the foot.


    Butt easily put the ball in his arms, and then Millwall counterattacked, Glennshire also hit a long shot after breaking through Petit''s assist in the frontcourt, and the ball slid out.


    The two teams did not create a good opportunity in the positional battle. Almost all of them tried to rewrite the scores based on the individual abilities of the offensive players, but the effect was not good.


    The atmosphere in the Highbury stands was warm, and the game was dull. It didn¡¯t matter. The fans were entertaining themselves. Why not cry at Christmas?


    Aldridge sat motionless, watching the game with his chin resting.


    Strong teams play weak teams, and the offensive can be extremely powerful.


    The strong dialogue is sometimes a bit dull, with different defense levels.


    Especially in today''s Arsenal, the outside world appreciates Arsenal''s play very much. To put it bluntly is to be particularly passionate when fighting back.


    As long as the opponent attacked and the attack was frustrated, Arsenal had a large amount of offense when he turned from the defense. The midfielder played the speed advantage and cut the running position, tearing the opponent''s defense layer by layer in the 40-50 yards of advancing space. And then score goals, this way of scoring, Millwall is still handy, but can face the top teams that focus on defense and the formation is not pressing, such an offense is difficult to play.


    The rhythm of the first half of the game was fouls, interceptions, long shots, star players'' dribbling breaks...


    The two sides did not have an absolute chance to break the goal, and then the first half ended.


    Before entering the locker room, Wenger observed Aldridge''s expression deliberately, and found that the other party''s expression was indifferent. Wenger somehow felt cold in his heart.


    This feeling is like Aldridge seeing a cigar smoking Lippi in Turin.


    Wenger would like to see Aldridge disappointed or worried, even if he is happy, so he can guess Aldridge''s mind.


    It can be seen that Aldridge, whose expression is still unsteady, Wenger can''t guess the other side, but will also think that Aldridge is invulnerable.

 Chapter 380： Martial arts

    The pace of the game in the first half of the second half was exactly the same as the whole first half, dull.


    When the game came to the 60th minute, fans of the gunmen in the stands became slightly anxious.


    Millwall is their big enemy. The new season''s decline in strength, plus the absence of Nedved and Ronaldinho in today''s game, this is a good time for Arsenal to win the key battle. This battle is worth 6 points!


    The fans of the crazy lions are comforting themselves. Our strength has declined, but the scene has not fallen. Today we played away and the team performed well.


    Wenger struggled and looked frequently at Aldridge, and he hoped Millwall would attack.


    You are behind in points, don''t you fight for the half-time championship?


    Arsenal''s positional battles do not have an advantage in the midfield at all. The two teams are completely in the state of the midfield pair. Millwall strengthens the midfield and has one less forward. Arsenal has little room for positional battles or counterattacks. , No threat at all.


    The same is true for Millwall, where the offensive force is too small and is restricted by the Arsenal line of defense.


    After another 5 minutes, Millwall made a substitution, two at a time.


    Aldridge was still sitting. Klinsmann took Henry and Larson to the sidelines to prepare for substitutions. He held a tactical book and raised the task with the two after playing. The two nodded while listening carefully.


    Seeing this scene, the narrator was excited.


    "Millwall is going to be replaced by two heavyweight players. Larson is back from injury, Hall is about to give him about 25 minutes to see what he can do, Henry has been in good shape recently, he is a threat on the court Very intuitive, Millwall seems to be working hard in the final stage."


    Wenger is more excited than the narrator.


    He stood up to remind the defense to pay attention.


    Millwall finally couldn''t help but attack!


    Is this a good thing?


    Wenger seems to be a good thing. As long as the opponent attacks and provides firepower for the striker, then Arsenal only needs to withstand the offense, and the counterattack after turning from defense to offense is their specialty.


    Larson came on to replace Van Nistelrooy.


    Henry came on to replace Glenshire.


    "Hall seems to use substitutions, but the offense should change. Larson is the center, Henry plays the winger, the two can complete the offense in the offense, and Van der Meide provides the two with firepower on the other side. support."


    Wenger thought Millwall would attack aggressively after the substitution, but he was wrong and frowned on the sidelines.


    Millwall really is a substitution and the tactical style has not changed.


    Henry¡¯s role in replacing Glencharr is no different. Relying on individual soldiers, Larson is on the front line and the same as the vanity Van Nistelrooy. There is no fire support. As for Van der Med, his pass It is useless to hit the ball. Larson is caught. How can he get it?


    Wenger didn''t understand. If you don''t change your style of play and don''t invest more troops in your offense, what will Millwall do?


    With less and less game time, Aldridge watched the game lukewarmly from start to finish.


    He found that in fact, as long as the goal is set lower, he himself does not have any pressure.


    See who is suffocating!


    Millwall''s first goal today is not to concede a goal. What about Arsenal''s lead? When testing the depth of the bench in the second half of the season, Millwall''s main force will return to the team one after another. Arsenal rely on this group of people to see who can make it to the end!


    Wenger is really anxious. Arsenal can''t win Millwall at home and may be distanced by Manchester United.


    Even if Aldridge claims in front of Fleet Street to win the league title this season, can Wenger believe it? Who knows if this is a psychological battle!


    In order to encourage the morale of the team, Aldridge set a high goal for the players to struggle. In fact, this season is only to train young people?


    Let Ronaldinho, Van Nistelrooy, Van der Med, Duff, etc. these players further grow and improve, the real strength will be next season, whether in terms of player ability or technical and tactical maturity.


    For Arsenal to defend their title, they must win the game, morale and points, both of them need to win!


    Wenger makes the team more adventurous and direct.


    However, Millwall''s seven-man defense was impenetrable. Arsenal advanced to the middle of the attack in the 83rd minute. Pires'' pass was intercepted by Gattuso and turned around. Millwall''s counterattack came!


    Lampard handed the ball to Van der Mede and immediately inserted. There was only Petit in front of him in the defensive line. Vieira just went to the middle to meet the failure and was chasing back at full speed.


    Van der Mede hit the ball immediately after receiving the ball, Larsson retreated to receive the ball, the Arsenal defense was like a big enemy.


    Larsson did not wait for Adams to come up and then passed the ball back to the inserted Lampard. The latter kicked the ball and hit the left side of the penalty area.


    Henry!


    After Henry Inchee took the ball, Arsenal fans seemed to smell the death in the stands.


    But Henry passed the ball diagonally to the other side of the penalty area. Who is this ball for?


    Adams stared closely at Larson, but his eyes were full of incredible, Henry''s ball, not actually passed to Larson!


    Aldridge''s eyes flickered and he focused on this attack.


    Larson is just a guise in the center position. He has just recovered from injury, and the actual threat will be greatly reduced. However, as long as he plays, he can attract the opponent to defend heavily. If he wants to directly threaten Arsenal''s goal, I am afraid that some strong men will be difficult.


    So Aldridge actually put him in the middle of the game.


    As for Henry, who Wenger named and promoted in Monaco, wouldn''t Wenger focus on reminding the defense before the game?


    There are only a few people left in Millwall''s attack. Will Henry of the summer transfer king be ignored?


    When Henry takes the ball, the Arsenal defense will surely focus on him.


    This golden defense line is easy to defend against 1 person, it is no problem to defend against 2 people, but the attention is above, there is Larson and Henry as guise, Millwall''s real killer, it will be created when the third person appears The real threat!


    Henry''s diagonal pass is behind Arsenal''s defense and rolls directly behind the goal.


    There, a man outflanked him and pushed the ball into the top corner of the goal.


    "The goal has been scored! VanderMead has become a hero! The Dutch haven''t entered the penalty zone once in more than 80 minutes! Even one time! But this time, he scored the goal and scored the goal, Millwall away one The ball is ahead of the defending champion Arsenal. This ball is really unexpected, but this ball reflects the characteristics of Millwall''s quick counterattack. The team cooperated tacitly and the offense was unexpected. We all think that Henry or Larson will become the finisher. , Even if the Lampard is plugged in, Arsenal may focus on marking, but the Vandermead, who is usually more inclined to assist, has become the terminator. This is definitely the tactical arrangement before Hall, otherwise VanderMead will not risk Behind the risk of leaving a huge piece of empty space behind, they entered the penalty area, and they knew how fast Arsenal''s counterattack!"


    Aldridge finally stood up after scoring a goal, his arms shaking slightly up and down in front of him.


    Wenger shook his head angrily.


    Millwall''s tactics have not changed, but the offensive focus has changed.


    No one can imagine that Aldridge replaced Henry and Larson to actually cover VanderMead!


    In Highbury''s stand, the Gunners fans were depressed.


    Is this Christmas a tragedy?


    The crazy lion fans were excited.


    Good fellow, this Christmas gift is not bad.


    They think it''s a good draw, after all, as a guest game, plus the team really lacks a few generals.


    But now there are less than 10 minutes left in the game, and the victory is in sight, which makes them overjoyed.


    With a one-goal lead, Aldridge gestured to the team to stabilize them, concentrate on the defense, and attack more cautiously. Without a good chance, he controlled the ball first and waited for Arsenal to come up and grab Time, space is bigger.


    Wenger stood on the side of the court with his arms around his chest, his brain running fast.


    Arsenal played in the usual way, it seems that it is impossible to break through Millwall''s door.


    In terms of the thickness of the bench, Arsenal are not as good as the opponent, especially the rare soldiers who can play.


    There are not many personnel transfers he can make, so he can only change his tactics.


    He gave the players a gesture.


    In the last 3 minutes of the game, Arsenal''s style of play changed completely.


    Seeing the situation on the field, Aldridge rushed to the sidelines to gesture Lampard and told him to return to the penalty area!


    Arsenal actually started a long pass again!


    And their players have good footwork. The pass is not to find the head of the person, but to directly pass the area behind the defender, let Bergkamp go to the grab point, and Bergkamp''s stopping technique is master-level.


    If it were normal, Millwall was not afraid of the opponent''s long pass.


    But 85 minutes before the game, Arsenal has always been playing ground pass and cut cooperation, Millwall players have been subconsciously used to the opponent''s style of play. The sudden change of the opponent will definitely make Millwall uncomfortable, just like Arsenal Suddenly faced van der Mead''s pre-intervention by surprise!


    Just three seconds after Aldridge¡¯s adjustment, Lampard had not ran back to the penalty area. Pire made a long diagonal pass on the left side. The half-height ball bypassed the gap between the defenders. Seeing the ball going out of the bottom line, the front was inserted. But Bergkamp touched the ball. Ferdinand, who was eager to defend, rushed over and stretched his foot to destroy the ball, but Bergkamp''s foot stopped and the ball rolled out of the bottom line. Ferdinand kicked in Bergkand Pu''s feet.


    Bergkamp fell to the ground in the penalty area, the referee blew his whistle, and took a penalty kick!


    "Arsenal scored a penalty! The game was nearing the end, they scored a penalty! Ferdinand is complaining to the referee, he thinks that Bergkamp missed the ball, he is not a foul."


    Aldridge went to the fourth official theory, he also felt that it was not a penalty.


    "The ball is out of bounds first, the referee can award Ferdinand foul without the ball, but it is not a penalty, you can give him a red card! But the game should be in a static state!"


    Not all fouls in the penalty area are penalty kicks. For example, if the ball is out of bounds and the ball is not sent out, there is a foul between players in the penalty area. The referee may award a foul, but not a penalty.


    This is a matter of opinion. If the referee thinks the ball is out of bounds, then the game has entered a suspended state. At this time, Ferdinand''s foul does not interfere with the game, but simply harms Bergkamp.


    However, between the electro-optical flint, the referee''s finger took a penalty.


    Aldridge was difficult to accept. He had been talking to the fourth official for a long time, and finally talked to Wenger on the sidelines.


    "The refereeing level of the Premier League must be improved, it must be, otherwise it will hinder the progress of the overall league level."


    "I agree with this."


    He also didn''t want to argue with Wenger about the penalty, it didn''t make sense, and neither of them belonged to the unreasonable kind.


    Bogkamp personally fought, and the penalty kick was done in one fell swoop.


    Both teams were slightly conservative in the final injury stoppage time period, and no one was afraid of losing the ball again. The two teams finally shook hands 1:1.


    Aldridge specifically waited for the referee to leave the field after the game. They communicated with each other. The referee insisted on his judgment. He determined that the foul occurred before the ball went out of bounds. At the same time, the action between Bergkamp and Ferdinand was What happened coherently was not an independent technical foul.


    Aldridge has nothing to say about this, and he can''t always tell the referee: Go and watch the replay.

 Chapter 381： New Diamond Attack Group

    The Christmas War came to an end and Millwall had an 1-1 draw with Arsenal.


    In the press conference after the game, Audridge expressed his opinion on the penalty received by Arsenal at the last moment. He did not aim at the referee. Perhaps 10 referees, 5 of them will definitely be awarded a penalty, and 3 will remain. Arsenal took a penalty because it was in Highbury, and the last two will hesitate.


    He just vaguely hoped that the referee''s level would be improved, and the punishment would make people more convincing. Of course, this is his side of the word, and it seems wishful thinking.


    After all, if the penalty is not awarded, Arsenal will definitely protest.


    This penalty incident became the focus after the game, but there is no conspiracy theory. In the British football program, the more discussion atmosphere is academic exchange.


    Some senior referees tend to support Aldridge''s remarks.


    Looking back at least in the slow motion of the game, Bergkamp made a mistake in stopping the ball. After the ball went out of the bottom line, Ferdinand couldn''t stop the car and then kicked on the opponent''s foot.


    The whole process was within 3 seconds. Afterwards, Zhu Geliang could of course talk about it and put it in the fierce competition at that time. The head referee''s judgment immediately took the lead.


    Aldridge praised the team''s performance and made them happy to go home for Christmas.


    He was alone. He spent Christmas Eve at his parents¡¯ house. On Christmas night, he returned to his apartment. In the community, some of the immigrant players¡¯ homes were lit. When he returned to the community, he happened to meet Villa. With a 16-year-old girl heading out, the two looked like golden boys and girls. They were his first girlfriend. Aldridge greeted them and went home.


    Back home, Aldridge leaned back on the sofa. After a while, the doorbell rang, and he knew who it was without guessing. He opened the door, and as expected, Yiwen was carrying a large dinner plate with a lid on his head, with a smile. : "I roasted turkey and I can''t finish it."


    Aldridge said nothing, turned around and went to the kitchen to get the cutlery and opened another bottle of good wine.


    "Will you worry about the club?"


    "Why? Because the team points are behind?"


    "I don''t know. It''s unhappy to see you. The team has been doing well recently. The Champions League draw has also drawn good opponents."


    Aldridge thought about it with a glass of wine. Millwall¡¯s quarter-final opponent was Dynamo Kiev. He said it¡¯s a good sign. He doesn¡¯t think that this old opponent is more stable and powerful this year. He is still worried about the ball. The team will be underestimated because of the double-game kill last year.


    "Sol has organized an amateur cycling team and asked if you are interested in joining. I usually exercise during my free time."


    "Very good, count me, it''s best to have some games occasionally."


    Aldrich will now participate in social activities that have a positive meaning, so that he will not worry about things.


    Ewen cut a large piece of chicken into Aldridge''s dinner plate and laughed: "Well, two weeks later, the event will officially start. Do you need me to pick your clothes?"


    "I went to the specialty store to buy a bicycle some other day, and I bought it by the way."


    ...


    Three days later, Aldridge led his team to play at home against Coventry. The team washed Coventry at 4:0 blood, Henry staged a hat trick, and Larson, who returned from injury, also scored a goal to announce his return.


    After this game, Millwall ended all games in 1998. The next game will be the FA Cup a week later.


    Aldridge and the coaching staff held a half-time summary meeting, and everyone analyzed all the games in Millwall''s first half, from technical tactics to player performance.


    There is a phenomenon that he is not satisfied enough, that is the striker.


    Fanny scored 10 league goals in the first half, this data is already amazing for other teams, even in the giants, it can be justified.


    But Aldridge watched the game on the sidelines and analyzed the game. He always felt that letting Fannie serve as the center would sacrifice Millwall''s sharpest bilateral forward.


    To put it simply, Fanny''s goals were passed, but when he played center, the winger or his partner did not score very efficiently, either in the 433 or 442 system.


    When everyone had a heated discussion, Aldridge went to the tactical board and wrote five names.


    Ronaldinho, Henry, Larson, Nedved, Pirlo.


    The first three are tridents, and Nedved and Pirlo are in the back row.


    He knocked on the table, and the meeting room fell silent, saying, "Can these five people form the strongest offensive group in Europe or even the world?"


    If he asks the media outside such questions, he will be laughed at.


    From a single point of view, the superposition of player capabilities may not be the strongest in Europe, but the combination of the top three in Europe should be no problem.


    But in the eyes of the coach, this problem is very complicated and must be treated very carefully.


    There are not many teams hoarding strong soldiers, Inter Milan is typical, but their offensive combination is strong?


    In the final analysis, it is the team chemistry that is the key point.


    If 1+1 is less than 2, give him 5 gods, I am afraid that the effect of kicking is 5 feces.


    "If you want to play 433, I think Rud''s tacit understanding with the team should be stronger than Thierry."


    Craig first commented.


    But Jenson shook his head: "If Van Nistelrooy hits the center, then he will basically die in the middle. Aldrich, are you going out of such a quintet, are you going to weaken the full-back assists?"


    Aldridge nodded and said: "Yes, I hope to improve the defense a bit more. Once the full-back assists have been counterattacked, the risk of losing the ball is too great."


    Klinsmann thought about it: "If we can defend 5 defenses and 5 successes, then our offensive team will have to play 5 5s."


    Aldridge said in a deep voice: "Yes, this offensive combination, I hope to achieve 5-5, 5-6, and even 5-7. There will be a good success rate."


    "Ronaldinho, Henry, Larson, Nedved, these four can pass and shoot at the offensive end, the most crucial thing is how to position."


    In Jensen¡¯s words, Aldridge chose these four to add focus to the organization of Pirlo.


    Speaking of abilities alone, Fanny is definitely not as comprehensive as they are. Because Fanny''s characteristics are slightly simpler, he can''t pull the side, he can''t complete the transposition with the winger, and the offense can''t be rich in the style of attack.


    Therefore, Fanny''s best partner is Klose, Van der Med, Grenhard or Duff.


    Klose, Van der Mede, Duff, Glenn Charles, from the side, from the middle to provide him with fire support, he is responsible for scoring.


    "Larson, Pirlo, and Nedved have little problem, it depends on whether Ronaldinho and Henry can quickly integrate into this new attack combination."


    "Yes, let''s try it now, specify the tasks assigned to them in training, and instill in them the idea of ??role change."


    Aldridge finalized, and set out to create a new generation of "diamond attack line."


    On a new day in 1999, only Southgate was still recovering from Millwall''s injury list, and Pirlo also returned to the team to start training.


    Ronaldinho, who returned from Brazil, appeared on the training ground. He ran to Aldridge for the first time and reported back to the team.


    Everyone else is already training, Aldridge looked at his watch and said: "Late 23 minutes late, go for 5 laps first."


    Ronaldinho smiled embarrassedly. His vacation should end yesterday, and he officially trained today. Aldridge did not say anything wrong, which means he was late.


    After he finished the lap, it was considered warm-up, he came to Aldridge again and smiled: "Boss, I brought you a lot of gifts."


    "After that, let''s talk and have fun back in Brazil?"


    "Happy."


    "Enough play?"


    "Uh, uh, enough."


    "Are you going to ask for leave later?"


    "Nope."


    "Then concentrate on playing football."


    "Observe!"


    Aldrich nodded in satisfaction, then called Ronaldinho, Henry, Nedved, Larson, and Pirlo to the front, and began to tell them new tactical ideas.


    Pirlo''s role has also changed slightly, and he also needs a role change. This role is interchangeable with Ronaldinho.


    When the ball is in the midfield and backcourt, the organization task is Pirlo. The ball is at Ronaldinho¡¯s feet, and he will be responsible for the organization when he has no breakthrough space or forward insertion opportunity. At this time, Pirlo needs to step forward and become the scorer. Or continue to keep players organized.


    Henry and Larson are both fake centers, which can be called free forwards. Pulling to meet or break the goal in the middle, this requires them to observe the game situation at any time. Teammates can''t run, they can''t overlap, and they must do it in the first place. Make a correct judgment, whether it is a breakthrough or a pass.


    Nedved is already familiar with his role. The pass is the pass. The pass is inserted before the break. It is flexible in the game. The game data of the past year proves how good he is.


    In addition to offense and defense, it can be said that Aldridge is instilling in them not a strange tactic, but all attack and all defense!


    It''s just that this is not the whole team of players to carry out this tactic, just five of them, no matter how much, it is estimated that the team is likely to collapse.


    And once this tactic is not good for these five players, the team''s offensive power will be greatly reduced.


    This is an ultimate choice, either, gorgeous, or just the best.


    Full attack and defense requires a large number of world-class players. At least two and a half of these five people have reached the ability requirements. The rest is tactical awareness.


    Aldridge began to let these five people start practicing this tactic in the training match.


    During the drill, they were ordered not to make breakthroughs!


    Just pass the cut to defeat the defensive group.


    In the training, Aldridge was particularly harsh on Henry, and made the most mention of him.


    Needless to say, Pirlo, Larson, and Nedved. Under Aldrich, flexible running is a basic skill all year round, especially the ability to see stitches without a ball is world-class. Larson¡¯s "Forbidden Spirit Fox" The nickname wasn''t obtained for nothing.


    Ronaldinho just came back from vacation and was particularly active in training. Except that he sometimes gets ridiculed by Aldridge for sticking the ball, there is no problem in running position.


    The biggest headache was Henry. He was born as a winger and asked him to move to play as a center. He really regarded himself as a center and stood a bit rigid in the center area.


    Henry was slightly aggrieved at the beginning. Their five offensive team was against a six-man defensive team. It should be a matter of course when it was difficult to find a running position, but he looked at the performance of the other four and found that he did. It''s not good enough, so I can only strengthen my running to improve my performance.


    On the other side of the training ground, Fanny was distracted. He watched Aldridge focus on training the five men, and his heart was very lost.


    He realized that the boss was recreating a powerful attack line, but he came to the team for four and a half years, but he was not as good as Henry who came to the team for six months. He was excluded.


    The competition within the team itself is fierce, and the rule of the strong is the first rule. No matter who subverts this rule, or favoritism or confusing people, then the end will be very bleak.


    Aldridge doesn¡¯t need to explain too much to the players. Whether it works or not, depending on the actual performance, if Henry does not work, if Fanny does not work, he will give Klose a chance.


    When the new year arrived, the young commander Aldridge began to build a diamond attack group that he had high hopes for!

 Chapter 382： Talking about Fengsheng and Turning Face

    Millwall''s 442 tactical system, which was honed after being downsized due to injuries due to injury, began to show its power when used in the bench.


    The first game in 1999 was the FA Cup. Millwall went to challenge Cambridge United on the road. Millwall, who came off the bench to play, scored 5 goals away. Although the opponent was weak, the team''s offensive and defensive conversion and offensive coordination made Aldridge. Satisfied.


    Klose partner Fannie, plus the bilateral Duffa Glennchart, the offense is very smooth.


    After defeating Cambridge United and advancing to London in the next round, Andrew invited Aldridge to dinner.


    The two chatted while eating in the restaurant.


    "Recently, Leeds United launched an offensive against several players."


    Andrew said this matter seriously.


    Aldridge didn''t care, the winter transfer window opened, Millwall received countless offers, but he did not have the habit of doing business in the winter.


    "Leeds United? Ha ha."


    Aldridge dismissed it.


    Seeing his attitude, Andrew quickly reminded: "They are not making low prices."


    Aldridge picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, saying: "The player eats a youth meal, does not take more honors, and the high treatment will not be maintained for a while. I am not a nanny, nor a life mentor of the player, if someone Stupid enough to think that going to Leeds United is more promising, so what else can I say?"


    Andrew sighed: "Aldrich, don''t underestimate the magic of money."


    "I''m not denying the attractiveness of money, but this account, smart people are good. A contract for five years, if Larson went to Leeds United even if he got a weekly salary of 100,000, earning 3 million a year, 5 years It¡¯s 15 million. Five years later? After five years of unacceptable treatment at Leeds United, what will be the price of the next contract? How much will his price drop? In Millwall, even if I give him ¡ê60,000 Weekly salary. While gaining the championship and personal honor, how much will the off-site sponsorship contract help him earn? The sum of them will definitely exceed 15 million in five years. Will he be stupid to run to Leeds United?"


    Aldridge has no worries about the digging of non-great clubs. He believes that such digging does not pose a threat to him.


    Andrew said after a moment of silence: "You are talking about the club''s absolute main force, but what about Ferdinand?"


    Aldridge scoffed and shook his head: "What''s the difference? As long as he grows steadily in Millwall, the future will be the team''s main force. The English national team''s main force. In Millwall, his chances of gaining honor are definitely better than in Leeds United. High?"


    Andrew knows that Aldridge''s statement is correct, but in fact not everyone has such patience.


    On the weekend Aldridge will lead his team to Manchester. At the press conference before the game, he said that this game is just an ordinary league. He will not put pressure on the players. The league still has five months, not a single game. The game will not determine the league champion.


    Ferguson attaches great importance to the game, or he not only attaches importance to his heart, but also speaks out.


    "Milwall is the biggest enemy for Manchester United. Since 1996, Manchester United has missed the league championship for two seasons. This is not what we should have. It is thought that last season we lost the championship at the last minute. It is Mill. Wall sniped us, and now Manchester United need to defeat Millwall to prove: we have enough strength to win the league title! Especially in the case of the first round of the league when we lost 1-2 to the opponent, this game we There is no room for failure, and I will not accept results other than victory!"


    Ferguson is ambitious, Manchester United are strong and strong, and 92 classes have spurred the beam. Both the technical and tactical play and the player''s ability have reached maturity. With the new season''s black wind double-sharp strike line partner power, Manchester United must use the champion to support this The team added quality and brought their temperament to the next level.


    This is related to the long-term development of a team. When the team is impeccable in terms of ability, the psychological level is extremely important. It can win the championship, improve the temperament, and make the psychological quality more mature. The transformation after winning the championship will make the ball The team rose to another level.


    Manchester United even needs a championship more than Millwall. Ferguson knows this. If he continues to miss the championship of a major event, these players will be self-doubt and will start to doubt and negate from the psychological level, and the fighting spirit will be worn away.


    Ferguson''s remarks reminded Odric of Arsenal, who had no championship for the next eight years. Sometimes it takes an accidental factor to win the championship, but the team with and without the championship has really different temperament. The team that fails to win the championship seems to owe it. Then in one breath, the chain is often dropped at a critical moment.


    When visiting Old Trafford''s league, Aldridge believes that this is not an appropriate time and is very unfavorable to Millwall.


    The selection of his personnel in the formation is no problem. The key is that he is building a new offensive combination. When he suddenly encounters a team like Manchester United, the offensive power will inevitably decrease.


    But just like his mentality when facing Arsenal, the league is a long-distance race, and there is no need to compete with the opponent for a momentary strike. Millwall defeated Manchester United at the beginning of the season. As long as the guest game does not lose, the strong dialogue with Manchester United, the record Is satisfactory.


    At Old Trafford, Millwall¡¯s latest attack combination debuted at Dream Theater.


    Ronaldinho, Henry, Larson.


    Nedved.


    Makelele, Pirlo.


    The combination of such an array in the front and center field made the first show.


    Ferguson and Aldridge stood on the sidelines at the same time. The two did not communicate before the game, but just greeted each other.


    The Premier League this season''s championship drama has entered a fierce stage since the beginning of the season.


    Millwall, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, the semi-finals, Chelsea have some problems recently, they have encountered a situation where the Christmas Express has plummeted, and teams with foreign aid are basically troubled by this phenomenon. To solve this problem , Not overnight.


    Millwall''s performance at Old Trafford was unsatisfactory.


    Defensive full score, offense failed.


    To play for a team like Manchester United, every opportunity on the offensive end must strive to be the best, and the opponent will be completely frozen in one step.


    The new attack group created by Aldrich needs every player to cooperate with his teammates. If someone can''t keep up with the rhythm, the quality of the entire attack will be greatly reduced.


    Henry¡¯s passing in the center position is still unsatisfactory, but Aldridge is not angry. Henry hasn¡¯t played football with Larson, Ronaldinho, and Pirlo for a long time, at least. Derich will give him two months to see the effect. If there is no obvious improvement, he will consider replacing other forwards to replace Henry.


    However, under the new tactical system, the backcourt defense has been significantly stabilized. The full-backs stepped forward to participate in the offensive response, reducing the coverage area and avoiding the chance of being beaten by the opponent. The two wings of Manchester United fly together today, every attack is The frontal impact on Millwall''s overall defense, the offensive effect also feels different.


    Ferguson watched the game for thirty minutes and was depressed.


    At first glance, Millwall''s offensive and defensive system strives to maintain a balance. The former full-back defender''s situation of rushing upwards can''t be seen. Manchester United attacked the opponent at a glance, and it is indeed difficult to break through the opponent''s defense line.


    Ferguson walked to Aldridge and the game was still going on, but the two exchanged with a smile.


    "Millwall kicked back and forth? Fear of losing?"


    "Jiqiangfa? Ha ha ha, useless to me!"


    "No, no, do you remember when you first came here?"


    "That scene 5:5?"


    "That''s right, Millwall''s play was very sharp at that time. He pressed Manchester United''s two sides to play. How can it be retracted now?"


    Aldridge chuckled his forehead, knowing that Ferguson was still going around.


    "The times are different. At that time, Millwall had better physical fitness than Manchester United. Don''t you deny it?"


    Ferguson chuckled, really didn''t deny it.


    It was just not obvious at the time. In the second season, when Millwall slaughtered Manchester United in the Dream Theater, Ferguson launched a hair dryer in the locker room after the game. At the same time, he also realized that the physical strength of Manchester United players fell behind the other party. In order to improve the physical strength of the whole team, and then in the two seasons later.


    "We don''t have the physical advantage, Manchester United''s wing offense is also sharper than before. Beckham and Giggs, should be the top three wing configuration in Europe? My full-back can defend well, I just Satisfied, honestly."


    Ferguson hit Aldridge''s arm with his arm and smiled: "I believed it, but you specifically emphasized the truth behind the truth, and I don''t believe it now. Millwall''s frontcourt players are very strong personally, you Are you planning to rely on their individual ability to solve problems in the future?"


    At this time, Ronaldinho had the ball intercepted by Keane, and Aldridge spread his hands and said: "Can the individual ability solve the problem?"


    "He broke through ten times, and as long as he succeeds once or twice, maybe a goal will appear."


    "He has been stealing three times in a row, is he still confident to continue to break through?"


    "Hahahaha, he can''t. He can change Larson and come again."


    Ferguson hopes that Millwall¡¯s offensive players will all play personal heroism. His most fearful thing is that Millwall¡¯s fast-breaking pass and cut through the position. The team cooperates and can kill after 5 seconds in midfield. When the goal was completed in front of the goal, the speed was too horrible, and the player dribble too much, the rhythm must be down. Manchester United arranged the defense line, he did not believe anyone could single out the entire Manchester United defense line.


    At the current level of Aldrich and Ferguson, especially to the point where the team is in control, it is impossible to talk about the frequent instructions to the team on the spot.


    Ferguson doesn¡¯t need to raise more points for players like Beckham, Giggs and Scholes, nor does Audridge need to make more demands on Larson, Nedved, and Pirlo unless it is tactical Changes in the general direction.


    So the two coaches have free time to talk and laugh on the sidelines.


    Both teams are afraid of opposing each other''s counterattacks. The frontal attack is often thunder and heavy rain. There are not many opportunities in the danger zone. The pace of the game is not fast. Manchester United can''t control the rhythm. Millwall also can''t rule the game. In the second half, it was the same in the second half. It was only the climax in the last ten minutes. Manchester United¡¯s ground warfare was attacked. Millwall seized a limited chance to fight back. The defensive players of the two teams played a top level and repeatedly made wonderful Defense.


    Millwall was visiting Old Trafford for 90 minutes, shaking hands with the opponent 0:0.


    After the game, Ferguson''s tone changed, and he never mentioned the pre-match remarks, but instead criticized Millwall for starting to play conservatively, unlike the league championship that year.


    Aldridge also satirized Manchester United. The two teams in the league played against each other this season. Millwall won and drew. Even if Manchester United finally won the league title, they would not have the qualification to be proud in front of Millwall.


    The two coaches chatted and laughed before the game and during the game, and the relationship of "turning their faces" directly after the game became the focus of the Premier League. Fleet Street thinks: Ferguson and Hall are perfect opponents!

 Chapter 383： Show power

    After the New Year, Millwall had a series of battles in the league, just ended the battle with the Red Devils, and then to be another guest Anfield.


    Red Army Liverpool''s record this season has fallen sharply. At the beginning of the season, the board of directors let Holier and Evans jointly control the team. As a result, the Red Army''s record was terrible. Evans resigned in November last year, and Holier turned to lead the team alone.


    Although Hollier did not value the youth training of the Red Army as much as Evans, he still selected some good seedlings from the youth team to give opportunities to promote the future mainstay of teams like Gerrard and Carragher.


    Aldridge and Hollier once had a relationship in Auxerre, France. At that time, he was a French coach who watched the European Cup with him. Except that Wenger was an old rival in the Premier League and a neighbor in the same city. Coaches like Fernandez and Tigana They also met in the European War, and now, they meet Holier again in the Premier League.


    In the first half of the season, the two teams did not communicate, because Evans is still the boss of the team coach, and Hollier is really unknown.


    As a guest of Liverpool, Aldridge came to Liverpool alone half a day earlier than the team.


    He came to Melanie''s parents'' house.


    It was her parents who took the initiative to invite Aldridge to be a guest. If in normal times, this is absolutely abnormal, after all, this family is a Liverpool iron.


    Her parents also knew that Melanie and Aldridge had a problem, but it was not a rift. The key was that they had differences in their ideas. The two of them were unwilling to compromise and were considered to be in a cold war.


    Melanie''s mother privately disclosed to Audrey that Melanie will return to Liverpool in February to start a baby. She has a lot of ambitions and plans to rest for a month after giving birth to the rest of the three with the hot girl. People continue to complete a record. Although Halvell withdrew, they still want to continue their career development based on the popularity foundation they laid before, and then made an agreement that single flight will not be disbanded.


    Aldrich¡¯s attitude is very firm. He speaks bluntly even in front of the family. He doesn¡¯t want Melanie to continue singing career. She can change her career to do anything else, as long as she can take care of the family. It''s not that there are no concerts to see people all year round. His state of separation from Melanie must end, and this is also crucial to the growth of their children.


    Melanie''s parents can only convey his ideas. They also hope that their daughter can have a happy family. In their eyes, Aldridge''s career is brilliant enough, and the family background is also good. The daughter can''t commit to continue to fight for her career.


    When leaving Melanie¡¯s parents¡¯ house, Aldrich knew there was no result from this conversation. To put it bluntly, Melanie still hoped that he would come to a compromise and restore the two to their former state. Children, nothing will happen.


    When he stepped into Anfield again, Aldridge forgot about his private life, which he did very well, or that he no longer had expectations for Melanie, women sometimes persevered and were more stubborn than men, psychological expectations It has been decreasing, and there is no too strong sense of loss.


    The turmoil in Anfield, the Red Army''s record of decline is obvious, the victory is less, but the enthusiasm of KOP is not diminished. This is very worthy of respect.


    Aldridge and Hollier talked about their arms before the game. They talked about the current situation and had no relationship with the game. They were in a hostile state. Hollier did not have an absolute calm position at least as Ferguson did. The traditional giants of Liverpool are in the lowest valley in recent years.


    "Oh, it seems that Hall and Hollier are also old acquaintances. Although Hall has no playing experience and is very young, he really knows a lot of friends in the football world. Many times, our commentators are also surprised. It seems that he has friends wherever he goes."


    "This is definitely a good thing. Hall likes to make friends and has extensive connections. Think again about Sunderland and Preston who are doing well in the Premier League. Reed and Moyes are both with Hall. The personal relationship is good. They have loaned some players from Millwall to help the team play very good results. Phillips introduced by Sunderland is in a hot state. If the second half of the season can continue to perform well, Sunderland upgrade is just around the corner. ."


    "Well, the head coach¡¯s contacts are very important to the team. At least Millwall¡¯s players have suitable places to rent and get training. At the same time, the relationship between the clubs has also improved. The mention of the Premier League reminds me of Fleet Street. Analysis of a previous report. Around Christmas, West Ham lost to Sunderland and Preston, Fleet Street called it a Millwall conspiracy, and they loaned outstanding young players to Sunderland. And Preston is to snipe West Ham to return to the Premier League. If this is true, then Hall is really painstaking to fight the dead enemy!"


    To prevent West Ham from returning to the Premier League, Aldridge certainly did not have this intention when lending young players. Today''s situation is considered unintentional.


    After the players from both sides entered the field, Aldridge stood indifferently on the sidelines.


    Today he continues his starting list against Manchester United.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Materazzi, Ferdinand, Zambrotta.


    Midfielders: Pirlo, Makelele, Nedved.


    Forwards: Larson, Henry, Ronaldinho.


    If there are no injury factors, Millwall¡¯s main lineup will not change. After Southgate¡¯s injury comes back, he will replace Ferdinand.


    Liverpool''s starting lineup hasn''t changed much from the past, but the team''s combat effectiveness has been deteriorating, especially the influence of the "spicy brother" has changed from the initial pull to a complete negative, and the team''s record has declined. Refers to one of the reasons.


    Compared to Manchester United who has both offensive and defensive attitudes and can sit on the Diaoyutai mentality, Liverpool is in a worrying situation, but it is Millwall''s favorite opponent.


    The opponent thinks he has the power to fight, and the situation in the standings forces them to not be conservative at home. Millwall does not say how much he can fight back in the counterattack, at least he will not face intensive defense, not to mention that the opponent''s defense is not top , Liverpool is the third-highest number of goals conceded in the top ten teams.


    At the beginning of the game, Millwall is still in a balanced attitude of attack and defense. The defender line and the midfielder Makelele focus on defense. Pirlo and Nedvide plus the balance of the bilateral forward defense. Center Henry interferes with the opposing organization''s midfield.


    Liverpool''s offensive failed, and Millwall turned around to play the fast break.


    Larsson drove the ball on the wing, and there was a lot of space in front. The quick and effective pass and cut began to play its power. After Nedvide inserted the ball and tapped the Pirlo who followed up. When Pirlo touched the ball, it felt like It''s completely different. A precise long diagonal pass sent the ball to the foot of Ronaldinho on the left. The choice of this ball is the best from the line and the threat level. This is also Aldridge''s firmness Reasons for not using Pirlo.


    Ronaldinho took the ball and made a fake move to break through the bottom. When he moved to Hypeia to mark him, he knocked the ball back and passed the triangle to the Nedved.


    In the penalty area line, Nedved shot from a distance and the beam popped up.


    Although the ball was not scored, the threat came out, intuitively and effectively, Aldridge nodded slightly, but Henry''s running position was still a little bit worse. If he could run out of space just now, Nedvide might pass the ball to He chose not to shoot long.


    When playing against Liverpool, the pace of the game will be very fast, the difference is only whether the offensive is smooth.


    When Millwall''s frontcourt offensive team has stronger ball control, Liverpool''s crazy push by intercepting the pass line does not necessarily work.


    In the past, they had caused trouble to Millwall with such tactics, because Millwall had to pass the ball. Like Trezeguet, Shevchenko had a low breakthrough success rate when faced with a double, but like the current one Ronaldinho, Nedved, Henry, and ball protection skills are very strong. Pirlo is improving every day, especially the ability to control the ball. While playing elegantly, the practical effect is also very intuitive.


    In the 22nd minute of the first half, Ronaldinho attracted two defensive players on the left. In the situation of being caught, he still pulled the ball and passed it to Henry of Labian. Henry did with him After a wall kick, Ronaldinho directly took the ball to break through the penalty area. When Hypia came to rob him, he lightly passed the ball to Larson, who was unmarked and killed in front of the door. The ball is easy to get started.


    "Beautiful goal, Millwall''s attack completely destroyed Liverpool''s defense. Ronaldinho attracted defense on the side. Henry also took a defensive player in the past. After the two cooperated, Ronaldo El Dinho broke through another opponent''s defensive player. When the defender line only left Hypia in the middle, he could only block Ronaldinho''s shooting angle. Unfortunately, the Brazilian put the ball Passed out, Larson started to throw off the full-back of the full-back, pressed the assist in front of the door and sent the ball into the opponent''s door. Millwall''s attack seemed to have changed."


    "Yes, Martin, I have also noticed that from the last round of playing against Manchester United, there have been such signs. Hall¡¯s team used to use a wonderful team with a foot-to-foot pass to tear the opponent¡¯s defense line. Breaking, in response to Millwall''s team cooperation, many Premier League teams use intensive defense to compress their pass and cut space. Now Millwall''s offense has more personal play in the midfield and frontcourt, it is no exaggeration to say The four of Millwall¡¯s frontcourt, Ronaldinho, Henry, Larson, Nedved, have a one-on-one breakthrough success rate of more than 70%, so marking them must have teammates to help, because of In this way, when a player attracts multiple defensive players and can pass the ball, the opponent''s defense in other areas will become weak. The goal just now is typical."


    Aldrich is very satisfied with the goal process. It is not that he does not want to continue to cooperate with the overall team of the running water, but that he has to play the best card strategy according to the cards in his hand. The different talents of the players determine the technical ability. There are differences in characteristics. If he does not let Ronaldinho show his talents, is it a waste?


    Don''t let Henry play the speed and dribble breakthrough characteristics, is this 10 million pounds worth?


    To put these players together to exert great power, Aldridge can not formulate tactics according to his own ideals. The new tactical system is built by their technical characteristics.


    Ronaldinho is to use the ball control technology to attract the opponent''s defense in the offense and create opportunities for other teammates.


    A goal was scored and Liverpool will attack even harder. Aldridge has no worries. He knows that when Liverpool is behind, Millwall¡¯s attack line will have more opportunities to show his power, but what kind of score can be scored? Qi can only observe slowly.


    Holier had a headache, and he could not have imagined that the young man who had watched the ball with them then became almost a nightmare for all the coaches who watched the ball together.

 Chapter 384： Magic Attack Group

    Many giant teams can¡¯t play pleasing games with gorgeous attack groups. Even the number of goals is unsatisfactory. The fundamental problem is that the division of responsibilities is not clear. If five offensive players want to break the goal themselves, four Scoring, leaving an organization to attack, then the attack can not play a smooth cooperation is not unexpected.


    Regardless of the technical characteristics of the players themselves, in any positional offensive, it requires the organizer, the tandem, and the final killer. Different players play their roles in different regions, and the first-line team can play higher than expected. The record is often to straighten out this point. The players in the offensive routine play their roles and do their job well. The organization of the organization, the response of the response, the goal of the break, unlike some of the critics. Offensive line, each offensive player wants to be the highest light terminator.


    Millwall''s new generation of attack groups, the top priority is the role of Ronaldinho and Henry, if he can meet the expectations of Audridge, then Millwall''s attack will set off a "flesh" in European football!


    In the past, Pirlo¡¯s postponed role was unexpected, which made the opponent team feel a headache, but after the opponent gradually became familiar with the Millwall routine, the harassment of Pirlo gradually increased, if too much ball power was at Pirlo¡¯s feet, The offense will be blocked to a certain extent. Ronaldinho also loves to take the ball in the front field. He can share the pressure of Pirlo, making Millwall in the midfield, the front field, and have dual core!


    Henry as the center, flexible substitution with the winger, and cross-back with the front midfielder Nedved, this will make Millwall''s offensive point unpredictable, making the opponent undefeated, in a balanced number of offenses and defenses or even if the opponent is one more In the case of defense, as long as it can achieve a pass and a tacit understanding and play a cover effect with each other, Millwall will easily break the opponent''s defense line, unless it meets the top defense line, passive dense defense.


    Liverpool launched a counterattack after losing the ball, but Millwall''s defender line was basically immobile, and the frontal defense was extremely successful. He played for 30 minutes in the first half and only gave the opponent a kicking opportunity under an unmarked mark.


    Millwall''s attacking line hit the mercury in the attack, dazzling, but he still lacked the success rate of the final blow.


    In the 33rd minute of the first half, Ronaldinho got rid of a person on the left side of the midfield and handed the ball to Pirlo who inserted the ball. Pirlo kept the ball and passed the ball to the right. Larson.


    According to past experience, Larson must take the ball inwards, but Henry consciously moved to his side to cooperate, Larson did not break through, chose to play a 2 with 1 cooperation with Henry, directly tearing Liverpool''s defense line, in the penalty area After going inside and out, he knocked the ball back to the top of the penalty area. Nedved hit the horse. This triangle pass is almost completed within 3 seconds. The speed is so fast that people will miss it in the blink of an eye.


    Nedved is the person who focuses on the opponent. When he appears in the top of the penalty area, the Liverpool players are both in front and behind. The back is harassing him to shoot. The front is the angle that blocks his long shot.


    However, Nedved unexpectedly took the ball directly into the penalty area, a diagonal dribble broke the opponent''s defense, and then knocked in front of the door.


    This was an absolute empty goal opportunity, but Henry was one step slower. After finishing his cooperation with Larson, he thought Larson would shoot, so his rate dropped, and he was looking for opportunities to make another shot. When pulling When Wilson passed the ball to Nedved, Henry thought that Nedved would have a long shot. After the latter broke through, he also had a better shooting opportunity. However, Nedved and Larson were disrupting the Liverpool defense. And when the goal was completely undefended in front of the goal during the last pass, Henry was still a beat slow. If he didn''t start in place, he would definitely be able to easily put the ball into the opponent''s door.


    When the ball slipped past the goal and was finally cleared by the Liverpool defender, Henry apologized to Nedved, and he felt a little guilty.


    If the goal was scored just now, how beautiful would it be?


    Nedved ignored him, because he didn''t see Henry''s gesture at all. After Liverpool made the clearance, he ran back at full speed to defend.


    Aldridge saw the slightest offensive and realized that Henry was still a winger. He decided to look for opportunities after doing the ball. He didn¡¯t put himself in the center position. It doesn¡¯t matter. He has the patience to wait for him to know. After all, the new tactics are right. Henry''s requirements are also very high. In different regions and situations, the role change is the conversion of consciousness and thinking. He just completed a transition from center to winger and made the ball to Larson. The latter went into the penalty area and then the thinking stopped. Down, if he can continue to run, he will keep up with Nedved''s last great pass.


    "One time, two times, three times! How many golden chances will Millwall squander? First, Henry missed the empty goal, then Ronaldinho made a good pass to Larson, but Larson slipped before the shot, Henry The goal was for Ronaldinho, who cut the ball, but the Brazilian kicked a soft shot! Millwall¡¯s offense was pleasing today, but in the fast-paced game, their ability to seize the opportunity is really impressive. People don¡¯t dare to compliment, what¡¯s the matter with Liverpool? Although their defense has been criticized since the start of the season, today they are completely undefended!"


    "Martin, it''s not that Liverpool are performing badly, it''s because they can''t keep up with Millwall''s rhythm. As an narrator, we watched the game. In the past, we always had subconscious judgments on the players on the court, but today, you can guess Milwaukee. Is the attacking player''s choice after taking the ball? Liverpool has to prevent Nedved''s long-range shot and mark his breakthrough. He also needs to pay attention to the situation behind him, fearing that he will pass the ball and the other players will do the same. El Dinho, Larson, Henry, these are all players with super personal abilities. If they only rely on individual soldiers, the threat will not be too great. One person can¡¯t resist, and the two people will not fall at least, but they It is impossible to guard against your personal abilities based on teamwork."


    Jenson and Klinsmann whispered on the coaching staff.


    "Substituting Henry for Fanny, I didn''t expect the effect to be completely different."


    "Perhaps it was because Fanny was dead at the center position. Henry was fast and had a wide range of activities. He also had the ability to break through and flexibly defensively. As a center, he replaced the two wings and the players behind him in the game. There are many changes."


    "Aldrich first bought Henry, was this the intention?"


    "I haven''t talked, it''s not very clear. All along, we all think that Henry is a winger, and Ronaldinho and Larson take turns playing."


    In the first-half injury stoppage period, Liverpool launched a wave of fast breaks, which looked violent and extremely fast, but was accurately intercepted by Makelele before the penalty area. Instantly, the Red Army''s offensive disappeared.


    Makelele calmly passed the ball to Zambrotta on the wing. The latter took the ball to the center line and then passed it to Ronaldinho who pulled out of the running position.


    Ronaldinho turned and drove the ball forward, with Nedved and Henry playing a 3-2 match. He scored the penalty area and got a half-single shot opportunity. Today he doesn''t seem to have a shot. He doesn''t want to waste opportunities. , So he looked at the timing and knocked back to Nedvide, who stopped the ball in situ and kicked the ball to Henry, who was against offside, when he snatched it from the backline of Liverpool. Henry faced the goalkeeper and crossed the ball again. Knocked, Pirlo plugged in just in place, easily kicked the ball and sent the ball into the empty goal.


    "Fantastic goal! Millwall passed the ball into Liverpool''s door! This ball will definitely be among the best team of the year to match the goal! Look at them, look at them! Launched a counterattack from the backcourt, no way along the way A personal breakthrough, the player ripped Liverpool''s defense layer by layer through the pass, and it was twice! Two times! Ronaldinho had been able to take Henry''s pass and he could already shoot, but he again The ball was given back to Nedved, and the Czech tried to assist Henry again, but Henry was not greedy, and he sent an assist to Pirlo, who slowly ran up into the penalty area and was completely unmarked. This goal was again Millwall¡¯s Is the classic team scoring a goal, is this what Hall wants? Is this how he threw down 10 million pounds to introduce Henry''s offense? Now the fans of the Lions, who still misses Shevchenko and Trezeguet? "


    Pirlo probably because the scoring method is too simple. After scoring, he turned around and showed an elegant and charming smile. Henry, Ronaldinho, Nedved, Larson, the four closest to him The individuals also walked slowly in front of him. The five people smiled at each other, stretched their arms around each other''s shoulders, and bent down to head together.


    Aldridge nodded with his hands on his hips and nodded. The former Millwall "Diamond Attack Group" has the advantages of speed and pass-and-run positioning plus excellent ability to seize opportunities. Now he wants to build a better attack power than the 98 Champions League final. A more terrifying new generation of attack group, although the goal just now was all completed by pass and cut, Liverpool clearly feared the personal breakthrough of Millwall players. They did not dare to press too much in one-on-one defense and the distance was slightly pulled. Opening, I am afraid that the other party will suddenly change to a clean one. Under such suspicion, Millwall''s teamwork is more threatening.


    At the end of the first half, the guest Millwall led by two goals.


    In the locker room, Aldridge did not make tactical adjustments, the team was leading, and he wanted to continue to blend in with the tacit understanding of the attack group, so he did not let the team stay and play.


    He is more concerned about the golden opportunities missed in the first half.


    Liverpool are really not a strong team now, but they still consider themselves as a strong team, so they are not conservative. Such opponents are very suitable for Milwall training.


    Aldrich needs a new generation of attack groups to take shape quickly, especially to seize the opportunity to improve as soon as possible. When the master passes the trick, the opponent will not give you so many offensive opportunities. Once there is an excellent opportunity, you must grasp it. Come again!


    In the second half, Millwall is still playing well. This tactical system is also a test of defense. It can be regarded as a balance of offense and defense. It will give the opponent a certain offensive opportunity. The fast attack will also be more threatening than the previous tactics.


    In the 45 minutes of the second half, Millwall created a lot of good opportunities, but wasted a lot of times, except for Ronaldinho¡¯s 70-minute pass to assist Larsson''s header and other goals. All good opportunities were squandered, especially when Nedved and Henry crossed the back-and-forth to catch Henry''s single-handed pass. He was too depressed to hit the post and pursued the angle too much.


    Millwall eventually defeated Liverpool, the poor Red Army, at 3:0, and once again captured Anfield.

 Chapter 385： Good thing? bad thing?

    After the game, Aldridge walked into the locker room. After 90 minutes of intense competition, the players had just returned to the locker room to prepare for a shower to change their clothes. They sat down and talked and laughed while taking off their shoes and clothes.


    When talented players are placed in a tactic that is extremely creative and has good results in practice, they will enjoy the game themselves and will continue to be excited even after the game.


    Before Aldridge walked in, they were making fun of each other, who wasted a single shot, who had a golden chance to shoot outrageously, and who made a small mistake in the game.


    After Aldridge walked into the locker room, everyone closed their mouths and looked at him with a smile. Perhaps they wanted a few words of praise.


    Aldridge stood by the door with his hands in his pockets, and indeed praised them first, then he said lightly: "Remember, today is just the beginning, you have not met my requirements, I hope you never have an idea: today After scoring a lot of goals, it should be the best? It¡¯s okay to continue this performance in the next game. No, this idea must be put an end, you have to tell yourself: today¡¯s performance is good, but I can do more Good! There is nothing to be proud of beating Liverpool. At least 7 teams in the league have beaten Liverpool this season. What we are after is not to beat a team and win a championship, but to play for less than a year In a one-year career, leave your glory on the green field, create your own history, let the latecomers talk about Millwall, talk about this year, talk about next year, will relish the team at that time Who owns, remember, you have the ability to make history, we can rule together, yes, rule, rule European football!"


    The locker room was silent, and the players stared at Aldridge for a long while. Ronaldinho asked: "Boss, what is your goal? I mean, the coaching club you have got the highest honor, the limit you pursue is what?"


    Aldrich didn''t change his face and said indifferently: "My goal? There is only one. I want to let the tomb of Millwall''s mad lion cover the entire continent. The dark blue of the mad lion covers the European sky, and Millwall''s name resounds in the world. In fact, no matter what my goal is, I have to pin it on you. It is you who help me achieve all of this. If you do not want to help me, please tell me in advance."


    After talking, Aldridge turned to open the locker door, and behind him came Ronaldinho''s excited cry.


    "Boss! I will help you achieve all your goals!"


    Aldridge left straight, the players could not see his expression. At that moment, his mouth was raised, and his expression was both gratifying and moving. No matter how ambitious a coach is, no matter how ambitious the ambition, he must rely on it. To achieve good players, Aldridge does not think he has any skills, he just hopes that the players under his account can at least reach the heights in the original history, don''t hit them in his hands, otherwise he will regret for life.


    After the press conference, Millwall''s victory was naturally the focus.


    Fleet Street appreciates Millwall''s gorgeous offense in this game.


    However, there are also criticisms, asking Audridge why Millwall''s performance before and after the difference is so huge, one against Manchester United, one against Liverpool, Millwall''s attack group, when playing Manchester United is inaction, but playing Liverpool is prosperous.


    "Comparing the number of goals scored by Manchester United and Liverpool in the league, it should be understood why Millwall''s performance will be different. Both offensive and defensive are stronger than Liverpool. The offensive is strong. Our defensive pressure is large. There are fewer opportunities, the defense is strong, our attack formation is cut, and the team¡¯s tacit understanding is higher. This is the reason. You can¡¯t ask a team to play the same stats when facing two teams with a difference in strength. ."


    The victory at Anfield has greatly improved the team¡¯s confidence, because they are trying new tactics, weakening the full-back assists, and relying on the five-player attack group in the frontcourt, which can play a good effect and prove the correctness of the tactics. It''s an inspiration to the players and an affirmation to the coaching ability.


    Next, before the Champions League reignite in March, Millwall''s performance in the league is getting better and better.


    Round 23, Millwall 5:1 Thanks Wednesday


    Round 24, Wimbledon 0:2 Millwall


    Round 25, Millwall 3: 0 Nottingham Forest


    Round 26, Millwall 2: Middlesbrough


    Round 27, Millwall 1:1 Blackburn


    Round 28, Southampton 1: 4 Millwall


    Round 29, Tottenham 2: 4 Millwall


    In a game without a strong dialogue, Millwall¡¯s new generation of attack groups began to take shape gradually. Counting their victory against Liverpool, they won 7 wins and 1 draw in 8 league games, averaging 3 goals per game. The firepower shocked England.


    And the good momentum of this wave made Millwall reach the top of the standings, and after leaving behind Manchester United 4 points, Arsenal 6 points, Chelsea 8 points.


    All came out of the FA Cup and sang forward. All third-line operations still maintained the hope of winning the championship.


    Millwall''s rapid momentum has made them the focus of all Europe, and the scouts of the giants frequently appear in the stands of their games, trying to observe their players up close.


    The magical mad lion on the River Thames attracted the attention of many European teams. Fleet Street swept over Millwall and defended the European defending European Champions Cup.


    They seemed unstoppable, and there was no line of defense they could not break.


    The first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals was held at Wembley. Before the game, Audridge, who seemed to be proud of himself, attended the conference seriously.


    In the past three months, Millwall has been held up from the inside out, and even he is no exception.


    But he was low-key, because he knew Millwall did not encounter a real strong enemy, maybe Dynamo Kiev is a touchstone.


    The atmosphere of the conference was very relaxed. As soon as Aldridge sat down, a reporter smiled and asked, "Will Dynamo Kiev cause trouble to Millwall?"


    There is no doubt that Millwall is a big hit in the semifinals.


    But this question really lacks respect for Dynamo Kiev, as if the other party is not worth mentioning.


    Aldridge frowned: "Will a team that can beat the Ligue 1 and Premier League champions trouble Millwall? This question is stupid. The probability of promotion between Millwall and Dynamo Kiev It¡¯s a fifty-five, and their chances of advancing to the semifinals are the same as ours."


    The reporters shook their heads, feeling that Aldridge was too cautious.


    "Millwall double-killed Dynamo Kyiv last season. So far this season, your condition is so good. If you think that Millwall and Dynamo Kyiv are at the same level, will it hurt Millwall itself? Morale?"


    Aldridge confronted the reporter, saying: "Football games are never simply a comparison of strength, status, and you have to consider climate, venue, adaptation, and other issues, especially psychological impact. If Millwall is like As you said, you think you can easily step on Dynamo Kiev to advance, and then after 180 minutes, Millwall ends the Champions League tour."


    Today''s press conference Audridge and reporters broke up.


    Not only Fleet Street, but other European media concerned about the game also thought that Aldridge was too low-key.


    They believe that Millwall should take advantage of the recent momentum and should be stronger in its posture. Even if there is no good condition to support it, at least Millwall is the defending champion.


    At dinner, Aldridge drove to a western restaurant in the city, Yiwen was waiting for him here early, Aldridge sat down and ordered a meal, then he was startled.


    "What are you thinking?"


    Yiwen asked with a smile on his chin.


    Aldrich shook his head and said: "Nothing."


    "Tell me, let me worry about you too."


    Aldridge raised an eyebrow and said, "Work, it''s the team''s business."


    "Millwall is very good lately. There is a voice saying that Millwall is the most gorgeous team in England and the most feared opponent of all the big players in Europe."


    Yi Wen''s eyes flickered, staring at Aldridge''s eyes glowing inexplicably, as if Aldrich was covered with a magical aura.


    Aldrich put a napkin in front of him and said lightly: "It''s like studying in school. Usually, the small test can always get a high score. Before the big exam, I feel that there is no problem and I don''t review the homework. When I found out that the test questions were completely unfamiliar, I was suddenly lost in my brain."


    Yiwen Miaomu turned around and said, "Are you worried about the team underestimating the enemy?"


    Aldrich nodded and said, "Mentality is actually the most important thing, but this is not something that the coach can change with just a few words. Now that I think about it, I hope that the game against Manchester United is within the last month."


    There has been no strong enemy for almost three months in a row. In the case of Lien Chan and Lian Jie, the morale of the team is good, but if blind confidence is accumulated, it is a bad thing.


    At the end of the dinner, Ewen suddenly said: "Chisholm is back to Liverpool, don''t you go to visit her?"


    Aldridge didn''t answer, and his eyes were out of focus.


    The news of Melanie''s pregnancy has long been exposed. She herself admitted that she was pregnant in an interview. When asked about the child''s father, she did not conceal it and revealed the name of Aldridge.


    Originally, due to the working relationship between the two, the outside world was accustomed to the situation of gathering less and separating more, but she did not choose to settle in London but returned to Liverpool, which caused a lot of suspicion.


    Aldridge was blocked by the paparazzi a few days ago and asked if she broke up with Melanie.


    During the Cold War, neither of them claimed to break up.


    Both he and Melanie are waiting for the other party to compromise.


    But Aldridge''s patience was almost worn out.


    Aldridge likes to look at himself. After all, he has lived for decades and will not like to blame others when he has problems.


    He has changed, and he has changed before. Maybe he has really compromised and achieved success. Even if he is not the head coach, he feels like a perfect husband. After changing his life, he may have gone to find Melanie.


    But now, he can''t do it, he can''t do it at all.


    Success and fame made him a special kind of arrogance.


    Men, they are aggressive in their posture and like to take the initiative.


    He will not compromise.


    If it wasn''t for considering the children, he had already decided to draw a line with Melanie.


    His mood is very contradictory. When he closes his eyes before going to bed every day, he will imagine his future child. But when he thinks that the child may not have a complete family, he will feel inexplicably sad in his heart. Perhaps, he was an orphan in his previous life and wants to give himself Child complete family happiness.

 Chapter 386： Fight the legend again

    Wembley was full of lights and was full.


    Very rare scenario, Millwall''s Champions League game, actually had a full attendance at Wembley.


    The opponent is Dynamo Kyiv from Ukraine. It is very strange. Last season, Millwall played Barcelona in the group stage and played against Juventus and Monaco in the knockout. The highest attendance on the stadium was only 93%.


    Just in the last three months, the number of Millwall fans has surged again.


    The Arsenal of Wenger''s training has become smooth and delicate, pleasing to the eye.


    Millwall, who was tuned by Aldridge, began to become magically gorgeous. They had the teamwork of the Mercury Lagoon and dazzling personal skills.


    Fans come in to watch the game, looking forward to Ronaldinho''s dance steps, Henry''s attack, Nedved''s burst shot, Larson''s ghost, Pirlo''s exquisite pass, etc., this series is the most attractive to fans When the factors of concern are concentrated on Millwall, it is not surprising that fans flock to Wembley to watch the game.


    Club CEO Adam stood proudly in the VIP box, and he stood hand in hand. Today, many Millwall business partner representatives were specially invited to watch the ball together on the spot. It was just entertainment. In fact, his mind is well known. Just show it to partners: see how popular Millwall is!


    That hate in his heart!


    He is urging the new stadium project again and again, but the contractor can¡¯t deliver the stadium in the summer of 1999 even if he speeds up the project. If Millwall cannot move into the new stadium before August 1999, he can only do so in 2000. In the summer, it is not possible to carry out such a big project to move the stadium in the middle of the season. It will obviously affect the team''s record. The boss Aldridge certainly disagrees.


    If it can move into the new stadium, the attendance rate is better than expected in the previous two years, and now there are more than 40,000 people booking season season tickets.


    Adam is also a popular figure in English football. He holds a few quotations from first-tier clubs, but he is unimpressed. He is similar to the CEO of most Premier League teams. He also looks forward to one day in the future. Going to serve in the FA, and he knows that he can make a name for himself, and it is inseparable from the glaring record of Millwall. This is the case, everything depends on the performance of the field. Chelsea of ??Bates a few years ago It''s a joke, Chelsea Village Mencora, now with the record of improvement in performance has also improved, but Chelsea debt is too high, the increase in operating income is a slap in the wind.


    When Aldridge in suits and suits appeared on the sidelines, the warm atmosphere on the court suddenly rose several levels. The fans of the crazy lion no longer need to use more words and deeds to express their adoration and trust in the young handsome. So many heavyweight players have been sold, and the reaction of the fans is relatively flat. In addition to some pitiful voices, everyone''s mood is very weird, and they have changed to other teams. Even if they are big players, selling so many stars will inevitably be among the fans. There was an uproar in the group, but the fans of the crazy lion didn''t seem to worry at all.


    After an interval of more than a year, Aldridge and Lobanovsky once again played against each other. He took the initiative to shake hands with each other and briefly greeted each other. From a close observation, it can be seen that the other party¡¯s appearance is slightly worse than last year. Perhaps his physical condition is already Some are not ideal.


    When the Champions League theme song sounded, players from both sides stood in line on the field.


    "The first round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals is about to start in Wembley. Last season''s champion Millwall played against Dynamo Kiev from Ukraine. The two teams should be familiar with each other. They were in the group stage last season. After playing, Dynamo Kiev¡¯s memories are not good. They were double killed by Millwall host and guest. Today their starting lineup has not changed from last season, and Millwall has changed a lot. After all, they have lost in the new season. Half of the main force of last season, this may be the key point of the game, how does Dynamo Kiev prevent the attack group of Millwall''s blossoming point? Perhaps this is also concerned by neutral audiences, Millwall''s recent state is surprisingly good , People are asking: How to contain their offense?"


    Aldrich raised his chest and calmly stood on the sidelines.


    In the second year of Lobanovsky''s third move into Dynamo Kiev, the team was more mature and has been tuned to the limit of combat power.


    Their staff has not changed. According to the ability of these players on the field, hegemony in the Ukrainian league is not a problem. It is not only a bonus of the player¡¯s own ability and the role of the team. Out of the ultimate advantage of the Eastern European team, that is the advantage of home.


    Even if the giants are visiting Eastern Europe, the weather and the venue, plus the effect of adjusting the time difference, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. Dynamo Kiev won 3 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss and 11 points in the group stage 6 games. Is to score 3 points at home and draw a draw away.


    Today Millwall ushered in Dynamo Kiev in Wembley. If you can''t win the game in the first 90 minutes, it will be very dangerous to be a guest in the second round.


    The other guest made a 451 formation and strengthened the midfield interception.


    Goalkeeper: Shovkovsky.


    Defenders: Luzny, Khrovka, Vashkuk, Karaze.


    Midfielders: Haskovic, Belkovic, Husin, Kadash, Kosovsky.


    Forward: Rebrov.


    Dynamo Kiev''s offensive sharpness, which lacks the nuclear warhead Shevchenko, must have declined. This is a good thing for Millwall. At least the pressure encountered when the opponent counterattacks will not be too great.


    Henry and Larson stood in the middle to prepare for the kick-off, and the **** attacking group, who were vigorous, looked at the other party clearly in a defensive posture, and their hearts were full of war.


    Millwall led the Premier League with points, the FA Cup reached the top 16, the Champions League is now playing in the quarter-finals, and the outside world has a very high call for them to create a new glory this season. This is what they are now pursuing, entering the third. In fact, it actually entered the sprint stage of the championship across the board!


    At the start of the game, Millwall is the main attack!


    Henry kicked the ball to Larsson, who passed the ball to Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho rushed forward with the ball. The momentum to break through forced the Dynamo Kiev midfielder to grab him and Ronaldinho''s heel kicked the ball Knocked to the back of Nedved, the Czech kept a straight pass, Larsen forward and Henry also made a two-on-one shot with one foot, Millwall broke the first wave of offense after the kick The opponent''s midfield defensive line.


    Larsson made a fake pass pass and directly broke through the penalty area himself, volleying the goal at a 45-degree angle!


    "Larsen shot! Shovkovski made a wonderful save. He climbed up from the ground and shouted at his teammates to remind his teammates to wake up. Millwall completed the game by touching the ball with four people at the opening. Shot, it seems that Dynamo Kiev did not quickly enter the game after the opening."


    After the opening, Dynamo Kiev did enter the game slowly. They were used to playing in Eastern Europe. When they came to England, they naturally needed to adapt.


    Millwall not only has the advantage, but also dominates the game in an all-round way. From the beginning of the new year, the attack of the three months before and after the run-in, the team''s attack has indeed entered a mature stage, and further improvement is to improve.


    Aldridge asked the team to attack after the start of the game and did not give the opponent a time to transition to a firm foothold. This tactical arrangement has received special effects. Millwall has been pressing the opponent to attack.


    The two full-backs Zambrotta and Schneider also crossed the center line to make countermeasures and compete for two points in the periphery.


    In the sixth minute of the opening, Schneider made a straight pass to Nedved. Nedved stopped using his body to turn around and drew the ball over Hu Xin, followed by a cold shot!


    "Nedved made a long shot! Unfortunately, Khrovka was blocked with his body, the ball popped out of the penalty area, Ronaldinho stopped the ball, and he also came with a long shot! Karaze blocked with his body. This foot shot."


    Two consecutive long shots made Dynamo Kiev''s defense line panic, and the defensive position also lost contact. After the ball popped up, he was picked up by Pirlo in the middle. He was also about 30 yards away from the goal and could also get up. Long shots, it seems that he intends to do so.


    But when he swings his legs to make a shot and Kadash flew to block, he lightly slammed the ball and rushed past Kadash, then a straight ball was inserted and the ball was passed to everyone unexpectedly. There was no one to mark Larson on the right side of the penalty area.


    Larsson took the ball a step forward and then swept the ball across the door. Henry pounced and the ball rolled into the gate of Dynamo Kiev.


    "In the first 7 minutes, Millwall scored! Although the assist was Larson, this ball must be praised by Pirlo. He passed Kadash and calmly passed the ball to the open position. Larsen, Dynamo Kyiv Although there are many defenders, the defense position can be chaotic after being continuously shot. Larson''s ability to find empty space is unmatched. The rest depends on whether his teammate can pass the ball. Give it to him. Fortunately, Millwall owns Pirlo. His overall view and passing vision are amazing."


    After scoring a goal, Henry pointed at Larson, but Larson beckoned to Pirlo. Millwall''s other teammates ran over, and they greeted the fans on the side of the stands with their arms around each other.


    The fans of the crazy lions are indescribably happy. They see the team performing a beautiful and passionate football. With the happy element Ronaldinho has injected into this team this season, the fans are very dedicated and support the team firmly, even They didn''t even have a glance at other giants'' interest, because they decided that Millwall''s game was the most exciting and the best.


    Aldridge''s response to the goal was very calm, simply applauding and giving up.


    But the heart is full of expectations.


    The time of this goal is very important. Dynamo Kiev is behind in the opening less than 10 minutes. In the two rounds of the knockout, each goal is like gold.


    What will Lobanovski do next?


    Still keeping?


    As long as Dynamo Kyiv invests a little more force in the offensive and presses out before the formation, Millwall''s attack will be more threatening.


    Nobanovsky was also very calm. He sat on the coach''s bench without moving, and his expression did not change at all.


    He feels bad about the draw of Dynamo Kiev. Not only did he get Millwall who was double-killed last season, the opponent is also the defending champion. In addition, the status of Millwall recently has attracted attention throughout Europe. Dynamo Kiev Even more unlucky is to play away in the first round, he hopes that Dynamo Kiev will play better at home in the first round, so that the other party''s performance is more limited than expected, and Dynamo Kiev has more opportunities As long as Dynamo Kiev can score at home, the mentality of the opponent coming to the road is completely different. Unfortunately, Dynamo Kiev was the guest of the first round, but was unable to defend.


    What next?


    Lobanovski had really imagined it before and reminded the team.


    Therefore, Aldridge was disappointed.


    He didn''t see any changes in Dynamo Kiev. Even if the ball was dropped first, the fence was still built first.


    After losing the ball, Dynamo Kiev quickly entered the state and began to restrict Millwall''s offense in a hierarchy.

 Chapter 387： Stone scissors cloth, good pit

    Due to the appearance of the Champions League last season, this season has also made a big round from the UEFA Champions League group stage. Many Dynamo Kiev players have been targeted by European first-line clubs, of which Karaze has even been favored by the AC Milan, the striker Lei Brov also holds several invitations from midstream teams in mainstream leagues.


    This group of players knows well that this season''s Champions League should be their most promising opportunity to impact better results for Dynamo Kiev. By next season, their lineup strength will inevitably decline.


    They all wanted to keep an acceptable score at Wembley, and then returned to Kiev to play at home and then win the opponent.


    If Dynamo Kiev is placed in an equal environment, their strength is certainly not enough to get tickets for promotion from Lance and Arsenal, which can be added to the obvious advantage of home profit. They use tactics and strategies properly. Then an amazing fighting force broke out.


    Aldrich will not underestimate this Dynamo Kiev. Originally, in this year, who was the opponent that Dynamo Kiev eliminated in the quarterfinals?


    Defending champion Real Madrid!


    They scored 1:1 away from home and returned home to cleanly and cleanly win 2:0.


    Aldridge hopes Dynamo Kiev will counterattack in a backward situation, but this team''s tactical qualities are admirable and timid.


    Even if Dynamo Kyiv fell behind by one goal, it still played defensive counterattack. The midfielder intercepted madly. The counterattack relied on the cooperation of two or three people.


    As Dynamo Kyiv adapted to the away game and entered the game, they no longer gave Millwall a chance to deliver a continuous multi-legged pass.


    The Millwall attack group that scored a goal thought that the opponent was a soft persimmon, and he was going to go to the next city. But Pirlo was ready to take the ball after receiving the ball in the midfield and suddenly frowned.


    There is one point in the coordination of these five-player attacking groups that Aldridge focuses on in training. No matter who the ball is under, there must be at least two people who run out of the ball in different directions to serve as the goal.


    However, Pirlo found out that Nedved and Larson were running alongside each other, Ronaldinho was too far away, and Henry wanted to wait for the next pass before responding, so Pirlo could only put the ball back Biography, handed over to Schneider who came across the midline.


    Schneider faced someone intercepting in front, he could not find the spot, and after barely making a two-on-one with Pirlo, he passed the ball back to Pirlo.


    Aldridge saw this scene on the sidelines and gave a gesture to the players in front to make Ronaldinho and Henry retrace a little deeper, at least pass the ball to the frontcourt, and then let them personally play to tear the opponent''s defense and play Chaos opponent''s defensive deployment.


    Even if the ball is lost, it is also in the frontcourt.


    The midfield is the most taboo area for losing the ball. Once the opponent successfully steals the counterattack in the midfield area, the consequences are unbearable.


    ¡°Dynamic Kiev¡¯s defense has been unassailable in the recent period, and Millwall could not form an effective cooperation in the frontcourt. They should try to make the full-backs also come forward to assist, increase the attacking point of the attack, and force the defense line of Kiev Dynamo. Lengthening, this is more conducive to their offensive players to find a free running position. After all, even if Dynamo Kiev counterattacks, they can only reach the front line when they move forward in the first time. Only two or three people."


    In the first half, Millwall did not create a good chance. The score was fixed at 1:0, and the two teams entered the locker room.


    Aldridge made some slight adjustments to the tactics during the halftime break, which is considered to be the response to the Dynamo Kiev defense strategy today.


    When the second half started, Millwall''s attack group started to do quite hard!


    "It¡¯s weird that Millwall¡¯s front line is empty. Henry, Ronaldinho, Larson, lined up and retreated. Uh, look, their position is close to Nedved. Millwall is more like four front waists."


    The area before the Dynamo Kyiv restricted zone was too crowded, but at least Millwall could control the ball here.


    As a defense leader, Khrovka communicated with Karaze and then went to ask the head coach.


    Their back line was not under pressure, but they didn''t dare to overpress, fearing that the opponent would throw them away after hitting the ball.


    But looking at the front midfielder has no advantage, they are also anxious.


    Lobanovski gave instructions to the players on the court through assistants.


    The back line is steady, don''t press forward!


    After playing for 15 minutes in the second half, Aldridge saw Dynamo Kyiv''s back line not moving!


    He smiled silently with his arms akimbo.


    Let the strikers collectively retreat, really want to play a trick to pull the snake out of the hole, as long as the opponent''s back defense presses forward, or a player can''t hold back, then the back defense will show flaws, Henry, Larson, Ronaldinho, Nei Derwed, which of the four has a sprint space, which one can''t finish the opponent''s defender at all speed?


    Since the opponent is not fooled, then the next move.


    There is no need for Aldridge to remind players that they have been mentioned during the halftime break.


    Fight alone!


    "Ronaldinho''s old problems have been committed again! Obviously when he can pass to Nedved, but he doesn''t pass the ball, but he has to pass the previous defensive player, oh, look, the ball is broken, Wait, the referee made a foul, and Haskovic made a move when he broke the ball. This foul is not obvious, but the referee is clear."


    The position of the free kick is not bad, it is 37 yards from the goal, the shot is remote, and the pass is more appropriate.


    The Dynamo Kiev team participated in the defense, and Millwall defenders also came up to prepare for the header.


    Ronaldinho, Pirlo, and Schneider stood in front of the ball. The three looked at each other, seeming to face each other.


    There are rules in the team. Long-range free kicks are given to Schneider and Pirlo within the shooting range. Ronaldinho ranks second in both.


    However, in the case of Pirlo''s absence in the first half of the season, Ronaldinho''s direct free kick is also good, with assists and goals. At least the level has reached the level of data.


    The trio looked around, and Schneider opened as the most senior in the trio squadron.


    "Guess the fist."


    Pirlo and Ronaldinho raised their eyebrows and agreed.


    Stone scissors cloth, Ronaldinho eliminated.


    Schneider won the stone scissors.


    "Hahaha, there are a lot of players with good free kicks in Millwall. The three people standing in front of the ball are good. They use guessing to determine who will take the penalty. It seems that Ronaldinho is the first. One out, he walked to the side with a depressed face and akimbo, the camera told us that Schneider won, and Pirlo backed away."


    The members of Dynamo Kiev were nervous, and seeing their opponents play guessing on the field so easily, they couldn¡¯t get angry, but there was no way to fight on the road or defend honestly. Return to Kiev and teach them!


    Schneider smiled at Pirlo before taking the penalty: "I will cover you."


    Pirlo blinked silently.


    Schneider approached, everyone thought he would take the free kick with a guess, then it was a pass!


    However, Schneider ran in front of the ball, and Pirlo stepped forward after the Schneider figure flashed in front of the ball.


    Ronaldinho, who was unmarked in the middle of the road, received the ball and avoided the shooting angle blocked by the opponent''s wall and shot directly from a long distance!


    "Milvor''s free kick is a great match! Ronaldinho''s long-range shot! Strongly attached to the turf, went straight to the dead end! Eh! Materazzi did not dodge, the ball hit his leg and refracted , The goal is scored! The goal is scored! Millwall... wait, wait, the referee raised the flag and Materazzi was offside! The goal was invalid!"


    Wembley''s boiling stand was quiet again. The fans also enjoyed the cooperation of the free kick just now. Millwall can even praise the free kick.


    Ronaldinho looked at Materazzi running back with a wry smile.


    Materazzi was also depressed, and Schneider''s fake trick deceived everyone.


    He was ready to grab the header, so he rushed forward, and Dynamo Kiev''s back line naturally followed him, but after Pirlo pushed the ball to Ronaldinho, Dynamo Kiev''s defense line began to rush out to block the opponent''s shot. Angle, he walked back a little slower, and was startled. Ronaldinho shot the ball flying to his eyes like a meteor. He jumped and did not jump off, hit the leg and flew into the other side of the goal.


    But no matter whether he hides or not, the ball will be blown away, the rules are the same.


    "Next time you have to play fake moves, don''t even pit your teammates! Grass!"


    When Materazzi ran back, he shouted at Ronaldinho disappointedly. Ronaldinho bowed his head and smiled, and then regained his energy to mark the opposing player.


    In the following time, Millwall continuously made fouls through the front-court players'' superb ball control technology, and then threatened the opponent''s door by positioning the ball.


    Pirlo tried a two-foot shot, the first foot slid out of the door, the second foot hit the crossbar and popped out of Dynamo Kiev. He touched his head and felt a bit of luck today.


    When the audience arrived in the 84th minute, Millwall got another chance to set the ball. Henry pulled to the left and swapped with Ronaldinho. Seeing that the ball was going to overtake from the outside, he was brutally knocked down by Luzny. The ground was clearly a foul that blocked progress, and the referee decisively penalized.


    Pirlo, Schneider and Ronaldinho stood in front of the ball again.


    "Strange, it should be better to hand this ball to Schneider. His in-spin ball can help Millwall''s header. The goalkeeper also has a headache when defending. Pirlo and Ronaldinho should Give the opportunity to Schneider."


    The three continued the stone scissor cloth. Schneider was lucky and he won again.


    But all three were still standing in front of the ball. Schneider turned to Ronaldinho and asked, "It feels good to shoot today."


    Ronaldinho nodded. If Materazzi didn''t appear on the route just now, his long shot would slam into the opponent''s goal corner.


    "Then you come."


    "Are you running for cover?"


    "No, you shoot directly, I guess they all think it is fake."


    Ronaldinho thought about it, maybe it was true that they had a cover for the first few positioning balls, and now a sudden kick should have an unexpected effect.


    This is a free kick at 45 degrees to the left of the penalty area. Ronaldinho took a free kick after the referee indicated that he could take a free throw and aimed at the goal.


    After the ball flew out, the Dynamo Kiev players were stunned.


    How did he shoot?


    Did you **** guess that the boxing lost?


    Do you understand the guessing rules?


    Is your game the first shot to lose?


    The ball crossed a fascinating and beautiful arc in the air. Goalkeeper Shovkovsky didn''t expect the opponent to directly spin the goal. He hurriedly reached for the ball without touching it.


    The fans in the Wembley stands have already got up ready to applaud this wonderful goal.


    But when!


    The **** ball hit the post and bounced out!


    Just when Dynamo Kyiv was fortunate to die, someone jumped on the flight path of the ball that popped up and hit the ball with his forehead, and consciously pressed down to control the angle.


    "The goal has been scored! Millwall leads Dynamo Kyiv 2-0. Nedv¨§d''s header shot gave Ronaldinho''s free kick no regrets, they scored another goal! To be honest, Ronald Dinho¡¯s direct goal without a goal was a bit disappointing. If that goal was scored, what a wonderful goal, but Nedvide made up for the disappointment of the crazy Lions fans, and now Hall should rest assured By the way, they are leading by two goals and are in the top four of the European Champions Cup!"

 Chapter 388： Sad Fanny

    After Nedved scored a goal, he was picked up by Ferdinand next to him. He raised his fist with one hand, and he tasted the title of a champion. He was like a drug addiction, victory, championship, honor, never satisfied!


    Dynamo Kiev players are slightly discouraged.


    The strength gap is a bit big.


    The opponent''s offense depends on five people. Behind them, Makelele, Zambrotta, and Schneider only responded and did not overwhelm. After their defensive success, the counterattack could not be reached. Rebrov was from beginning to end. The body is cold...


    The one-on-one defense is completely irresistible. It must be defended by teammates, but it is suddenly broken by the opponent. In anxiety, he can only take fouls. The opponent continuously positions the ball to attack. Dynamo Kiev only lost a ball. .


    Two goals fell behind, what should I do next?


    Lobanovsky¡¯s instructions remained unchanged, and he defended his counterattack.


    Not to mention that there are only five or six minutes left in the game, Lobanovsky knows that if the team presses up to attack, they may lose the ball within a few minutes.


    However, this second goal drop was too bad for morale. The situation is completely different. They have to score at least two goals to return to home to hope to advance. Once the opponent scores one, they will score four!


    Aldridge sat back, leading by two goals, indeed stable.


    One advantage of this tactic is that he does not need frequent on-the-spot adjustments.


    The team''s offense and defense are balanced, and under the premise that the offensive power is huge, if the defense encounters an offensive attack by the other party, in other words, turning around and turning back, Millwall can be destroyed.


    Therefore, he does not need to adjust, so that the opponent should attack, and the opponent wants to attack. He welcomes with both hands. Even if the opponent also poses a balanced attitude of attack and defense, Millwall will occupy a greater offensive advantage and be crushed by hard power!


    Dynamo Kyiv was really suffocated. After two goals behind, they still played anti-reverse. In the last few minutes of the game, Millwall did not create a very good chance, and the score did not change.


    "At the end of the game, the first round of the quarter-finals of the European Champions Cup, defending champion Millwall defeated Dynamo Kyiv 2-0 at Wembley and achieved the advancement opportunity. The second round of the game seems to be suspenseful. Big, according to Millwall''s current state, they have a very high probability of advancing to the semifinals. We will wait and see how far Millwall, who is called by the British media as Hall''s second-generation mad lion, will go in the Champions League this year. "


    Aldrich and Lobanovsky shook hands with each other, and left without talking.


    In the post-match press conference, Lobanovski was criticized by many European media for being too conservative.


    In the eyes of many people, the loss of Dynamo Kiev is normal, but the key is to lose some.


    Lobanovski was quite honored and disgraced at this age.


    He calmly stated that there is a clear gap between the strengths of the two teams, which is beyond doubt, but back in Kiev, he is confident that the team will score at least two goals.


    When Aldridge was asked about Lobanovski¡¯s excuse for failure at the press conference, he said frankly: "There is indeed a gap between the players of the two teams, Millwall is stronger on paper, we deserve to win, in fact the game Dynamo in Kiev has caused us a lot of trouble. If it is not the final stage to expand the score through the positioning ball, maybe we will not go to Kiev with an advantage."


    The reporters were depressed.


    Why is this young handsome low-key?


    I can''t imagine how he would look if he lost the ball.


    Aldridge just felt awkward in his position.


    He has a good deck, played well, won, and won, but if he loses, it is really inferior.


    Therefore, winning is not triumphant, the fact is that his players are more capable, and his personal ability has become a decisive factor in the game.


    "Guest Dynamo Kyiv in the second round, Millwall leads with two goals, what kind of tactics will be taken? As long as you score an away goal, it will kill the game."


    "I don¡¯t think Millwall can easily score a goal at Dynamo Kiev. You should know that it is still March. The temperature in Kiev at night is likely to be zero. The players will play away. The weather and the adverse factors of the venue will be serious. It will affect our performance. At that time, I will observe the team status and choose the most suitable tactics to face the game."


    ...


    On the afternoon of the next day, the players returned to the training ground for restorative training. The training content was relatively easy, and Audridge reviewed the game with them, summarizing and analyzing.


    Players often have a coach''s disgusting mentality, that is, after winning the ball, they think that their performance is impeccable. Emotionally, they should really not be criticized by criticism, but in fact, Aldridge must let them recognize the reality.


    "Dynamo Kyiv restricted our play through intensive defense. One-on-one we are stronger, forcing the opponent to have 2 defenses 1 and 3 defenses 2. Let''s assume that we meet a top defensive team, your pair If you don¡¯t have an overwhelming advantage, will you still get so many opportunities? Can you still dominate the game?"


    Aldridge''s words made the players look at each other, he also made Makelele and Gattuso demonstrating defense for Henry.


    Makelele defends Henry one-on-one. Gattuso does not need to approach Henry. As long as he stands in the area, Henry one-on-one fails and Gattuso can immediately spur a counterattack.


    "A large number of people in the defensive area does not mean that it will weaken the offense. On the contrary, it makes the forward movement of the offense more unpredictable and difficult to mark. We must continue to improve the team''s ability to cooperate in a small area and increase the running range. Change your role flexibly in the game. Otherwise, when you encounter a top defensive team, especially a team with excellent one-on-one defense, not only will our offense be contained, but when we are counterattacked, we will also double the pressure on the back line."


    The players nodded with serious expressions, especially the attack group of five. Although it is also a means to create a positioning ball attack through their personal abilities, they are even more yearning for the mercury warfare positional battle to cooperate with the attack. Once that attack is played, and In the end, he scored a goal and his personal sense of accomplishment is unparalleled.


    After a Champions League battle in the middle of the week, Aldridge sent to the bench for the weekend league.


    At the Lion''s Cave Stadium, Millwall''s bench lineup 4-0 victory over the West Magpie Newcastle United.


    When Van Nistelrooy staged a senior in the last minute of the game, the audience applauded, and the commentator was excited to cry for him.


    "Fannistrui! He scored the fourth goal of the game, senior fourth! Senior fourth! Is he announcing his existence to Hall? When Henry was healed he squeezed away His main position, I am afraid he has been asking why?! He can also score goals, can score a lot of goals! Unbelievable, really incredible, Van Nistelrooy, who has scored 16 goals in the league, is in the shooter No. 1 on the list! Hasselbaink, Irving, and York behind them all scored at least 2 goals less than him! But Van Nistelrooy couldn''t actually start the striker at Millwall! Hall, Is this your happy trouble?"


    Aldridge has a headache, really a headache.


    It is not that Van Nistelrooy is not good enough, nor that he cannot score.


    However, the head coach is to manage a team, not a certain player, not to see whether the player in a certain position is playing well.


    The outside world saw that Van Nistelrooy''s personal goals were very high, but the statistics within the club showed that Van Nistelrooy + Ronaldinho + Nedvide + another winger''s offensive quadruple in the first half The performance of the season was not stable enough, and in the new attack group, except for Pirlo, the other four were completely activated. Perhaps the number of personal goals is not as good as Fanny, but the total number of goals they added is far more than In the half-season attack group, the average goal can reach 3 goals per game, much higher than the average of 1.8 in the first half of the season!


    Aldridge needs players to be able to achieve an effect of 1 + 1 greater than 2, using Fanny, that is, others serve him.


    Even Klose was sacrificed, covering Fanny and making the ball.


    It was at this time that Manchester United suddenly sent an inquiry asking Fanny about the possibility of transfer.


    Ferguson appreciates that Fanny is not a day or two away, but he was completely dead before the season. He and everyone in the world have basically the same view: Fanny is about to take the position!


    But I didn''t expect the situation to change before the end of a season.


    Aldrich likes to use Henry instead of Fanny. Ferguson understands that, in his view, Henry''s playing center makes Millwall''s offense rich and flexible and powerful. This is a problem of Millwall''s tactical system.


    On the contrary, Ferguson believes that Fanny is very consistent with Manchester United''s tactical system.


    Fanny needs someone to do the ball, someone to cover, Manchester United''s wings flying together, plus Scholes behind, the double forwards on the front line can pass and shoot, is the need for Fanny''s ability to seize the opportunity.


    Fanny was also very emotional after hearing the news that Manchester United was interested in him.


    It seems that the Dutch who were suffering together with Tony in the youth team have to follow Tony''s trajectory.


    He was really sad, but he couldn''t raise his anger.


    Millwall''s new attack group is unmatched. The game not only played wonderfully and beautifully, but also scored a lot of goals. When he played with Ronald Verde Jr. in the first half of the season, he could not play this effect.


    He also knows the characteristics of his football. His talents influence the direction of development, and he cannot change into Henry''s.


    Manchester United''s mature wings are flying together, Beckham passes right, Giggs can pass on the left, Scholes is centrally dispatched, and they each deliver firepower to the forward, which is very suitable for him to play.


    Ferguson even came to London to interview Aldridge in order to get the 23-year-old Fanny in the summer.


    Now the situation is different from before. As long as Manchester United let out the wind and do work in private, digging people from Millwall is basically safe, like Solskjaer, Stam, not all are digging from Millwall. Is it?


    But now, if Millwall sells people or not, it depends on Aldridge not letting go. If he is determined to leave a player, Manchester United may not be able to win the bill even if he smashes money. If you want to prevent players from going to Manchester United, it is still based on team building.


    Manchester United wants Millwall players. Millwall first considers whether this player is indispensable to the team.


    Fanny, now look at the kind of players that are really indispensable.


    At least on the front line of Aldridge, Henry, Ronaldinho, and Larson are unlikely to transfer in the summer of 1999. Ronaldinho and Larson are loyal. Henry has just arrived and he has three months to recover from injury. Let go after five months?


    Aldridge had an open and open conversation with Ferguson.


    He clearly informed the opponent that Fanny is not a non-sale product, but the team will need him to play off the bench.


    If Manchester United can promise Fanny''s main position, Fanny will definitely be seduce away and stay in the team in a contradictory situation, Aldridge does not want to see it, then, it depends on the attitude of Manchester United.


    Ferguson feels tricky again. Manchester United''s strike line, the black wind and the double wind have just begun to show great power. It is impossible for him to introduce Fanny to defeat York or Cole. Liang, after all, Fanny is young.


    After learning that Manchester United could not make the main position promise, Fanny temporarily suppressed the transfer idea.


    Go to Manchester United to play the bench?


    It might as well stay at Millwall as a substitute, at least the value will not fall.

 Chapter 389： Professor forced to help

    In the same round of Millwall''s 4-0 victory over Newcastle United, Manchester United won Everton at home, Arsenal beat Coventry at home, Chelsea beat Aston Villa away, and also returned to the league. With the remaining eight rounds, the four teams in the championship group opened the gap with the latter team. The Premier League has maintained a stimulating competitive atmosphere from the beginning of the season to the final sprint, and now Millwall takes the lead. machine.


    Millwall''s three-line battle, all fronts have high voices to win the championship, which is obviously the biggest focus of English football.


    In the FA Cup quarter-final battle, Millwall will go to Highbury to challenge Arsenal.


    At the pre-match press conference, Aldridge announced the roster and starting lineup in advance without concealment.


    He still uses the bench in the cup, even if his opponent is Arsenal.


    David Miller was very puzzled. He asked directly in front of Aldridge: "What is Millwall worried about? You have two goals in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals next week, leading the league 4 points, the FA Cup away from Arsenal, if you win, you can enter the semi-finals, there is a chance to win the championship on the third line, why not play the full main force now? Half of the main force is also okay."


    Aldridge had a good relationship with Miller, so he answered the other party''s questions frankly.


    "I pay more attention to the long-term construction of the team and give young players the opportunity to exercise in important games. Maybe you will say that these substitute players usually play a lot of games, but the intensity of the game, the degree of importance, and the strength of the opponent vary. , Facing Arsenal tomorrow is a test for them, and I choose to trust them."


    "If you lose?"


    "It is normal to win or lose. I can accept any result of the game. The key is the process of the game. The rule of the football world is that the winner is strong, not the strong. The tomorrow''s game, we are the weaker side, it does not matter, the players play on the spot The effect is what I care about most. As long as we play well, we also have a chance to win."


    The next day, Millwall left Highbury.


    The stadium, which can accommodate 30,000 people, was full, and even the newly appointed FA Football Federation Chairman came to the scene to watch the FA Cup strong dialogue.


    After Wiseman resigned and took the blame last year, the position of the FA''s chairman was vacant. Thompson, who came from the local league, became the acting chairman for six months and became the chairman of the FA.


    Thompson from the local league naturally has the support of local league forces, and the power of the Premier League in the English Football Association opposes his election. However, in the formal elections, some opponents within the FA have come to the rescue, contributing to Thompson A big victory.


    On the day Thompson was successfully elected, Andrew invited Aldridge to dine out and talked about it lightly, hinting vaguely about the effectiveness of his activities on the FA side.


    Aldridge is not too concerned about this kind of thing, especially who is the chairman of the FA, and he does not care. Before the establishment of the Premier League, the position of the chairman of the FA has been almost the same as that of the iron rice bowl. The chairman has been in office for an average of more than ten years. However, after the establishment of the Premier League, the rate of frequent changes of the FA chairman has become faster and faster. Due to the full-blown conflicts of interest between the Premier League and the local leagues, the struggle within the FA has also been fierce. The position of the chairman is not only as simple as showing glory in the circle, it is also a hot potato, and the incumbent is like sitting on the needle felt.


    No matter who you go to stagnate, or who you intend to support, I am afraid that this person will not sit in this position steadily for a long time. In this case, why should Adrige waste time?


    Wenger looked serious when he appeared in Highbury. Arsenal trailed Millwall and Manchester United in the league. There was only the FA Cup left to hit the championship. He attached great importance to today''s game.


    In contrast, Aldridge seemed to be relaxed, appeared on the sidelines and sat on the coach seat, chatting with Klinsmann and Jenson.


    "The FA Cup quarter-final match between Arsenal and Millwall is about to start. The players of both sides enter the field. Arsenal do their best, but Millwall sent a full bench lineup. It seems that Arsenal wins more. Bigger."


    Millwall really sent a full replacement today.


    Goalkeeper: Keller.


    Guards: Ferreira, Mills, Neil, Cole.


    Midfielders: Van der Mead, Lampard, Gattuso, Glenn Charles.


    Forwards: Klose, Van Nistelrooy.


    442 against Arsenal''s 442.


    The tactics between the two are basically the same, but the paper strength seems to be significantly stronger in Arsenal.


    When the game started, Millwall retired across the board and compressed the backcourt space. When the opponent''s attack advanced into the dangerous area, he used a combined defense to force the opponent. After the steal was successful, he launched a quick counterattack through the side, which is consistent with Arsenal''s style of play. basically the same.


    Wenger is depressed, Arsenal sits at home and the opponents are on the bench, his team must be pressed out from the momentum!


    But in positional battles, their team creativity is really limited. The frontal attack does not have a good effect. Instead, Millwall fights back, and the back defense frequently sounds the alarm.


    In the 17th minute of the game, Bergkamp shot was saved by Keller, Keller handed the ball and launched a counterattack. The beautiful ball turned and turned away from Pires, and then took advantage of the speed to open the distance and found two forwards in the penalty area on the sideways 45-degree diagonal long pass.


    Klose was killed from the rear point, and ran to the front to head the header. Seaman was caught off guard by the header. The distance was too close. He didn''t make a save and the ball hit the net.


    "Millwall won first in the away game, Klose made a header, and Van der Med''s assists are really beautiful. Now Millwall is really terrifying. They not only kill the main lineup, but also have amazing fighting power on the bench."


    The 442 formation, which has been honed since the beginning of the season, matured and formed after more than half a year, especially the power of the side attack.


    Aldridge felt relieved and worked hard for most of the season. Seeing that the rest of the season is getting fewer and fewer, he can watch the team become stronger and young players have improved significantly. He has a special sense of accomplishment in his heart.


    Especially in the case where the strength of several main teams was lost last summer.


    Arsenal kicked off in the middle, and the players were also depressed, facing the Millwall backup lineup. If they can''t take it off, they will obviously lose their face.


    Anelka called the ball to Bergkamp, ??who returned to Vieira, Klose and Fanny stepped forward to furiously grab, Vieira sent the ball straight to Bergkamp.


    But Bergkamp is moving forward, and did not expect Vieira to pass the ball back to him so quickly, as it should be given to the wing player in the past.


    However, as soon as the opening van der Mead and Glenn Carre played against Pires and Ovimas, Vieira either passed back or forward. He chose the latter and was successfully intercepted by Lampard.


    After Lampard steals, Van der Mede runs out of space and pulls out his free time. Lampard minds to give the ball to the opponent.


    After van der Mede stopped the ball, it was another straight ball.


    Klose was on the receiving line, but he suddenly leaked a foot and shook Arsenal''s defender. The leaked ball directly penetrated the entire back line, and Fanny successfully counterattacked the ball and went to the meeting.


    Seaman did not abandon the goal, Fanny took the ball into the penalty area and steadily pushed the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal.


    Adams screamed directly at Vieira!


    The midfielder was intercepted and quickly counterattacked. The defenders suddenly faced the opponent''s straight ball, plus Klose''s flashing ball missed everyone. This lost goal was arsenal. Arsenal blamed it!


    "Millwall led by two goals in less than 20 minutes! They scored two goals in a minute, Arsenal conceded a second pass from Vieira, a pass error, Van der Meide again assisted his teammates to score, Clo Ze used a running position and a missed ball to cover Fanny. The Dutch shooter was in good shape. The single-handed ball scored very calmly. Did Arsenal give up the FA Cup?"


    Watching Millwall''s players celebrate, Arsenal''s players looked a little frustrated, Wenger hated the sky!


    Aldridge forced him back today.


    If Millwall has all the main force and Arsenal can play a defensive counterattack, then that is their most powerful game routine. But Millwall has all the substitutes. Are Arsenal embarrassed not to attack?


    But playing like this, Arsenal''s advantage can''t be brought into play. Positional warfare lacks creativity. Playing one shot at a time can only rely on the player''s personal ability to create opportunities.


    He walked to the sidelines to let Ovimas and Pires focus on the two defenders of the opponent.


    Both Paul Ferreira and Ashley Colco are down-to-earth recruits. This kind of soft persimmon is delivered to the door.


    Not to mention, with Wenger''s adjustment, the individual play of the wing players immediately helped Arsenal gain the upper hand in the positional battle.


    Orvies faced Ashley Cole on the right side of the road, two consecutive emergency stops, one 90-degree turn, one 180-degree turn, Ashley Cole also followed, waiting for the second 180 degrees After turning around, Ashley Cole fainted, and could not see Ovimas and the ball in front of him. When he came back, the opponent had already cut the ball inside him.


    He was shaken a bit terrible, Ovimas caught the defensive attention after cutting, and then knocked back near the penalty area line, followed by Petit kicked a shot to help Arsenal get a goal.


    "Pettitte''s long shot opened Millwall''s door. Arsenal narrowed the score gap in the 28th minute of the game. Millwall''s goal drop was from Ashley Cole''s defensive error. He was not Ovi at all. The opponent of Maas, but considering his age, this responsibility should be borne by Hall."


    Indeed, no matter what the team''s problems, the head coach is to blame.


    Even if he conceded the ball, Aldridge still sat on the coach''s seat immobile, even with a hint of smile on his chin.


    Ashley Cole spit out after losing the ball, then glanced vaguely at the coach seat, fearing that Aldridge was not satisfied with his performance.


    Dutch Peter Pan''s feet are fast in frequency and turn around quickly, and his body is so aggravating that Ashley Cole is still growing up regardless of his technical ability and physical quality. Is it strange that Ovimas is playing?


    Since Aldrich chose to let Ashley Cole and Paul Ferreira play, it is natural to foresee this happening, but this is a necessary stage.


    Defenders, early abuse is too normal, as long as you don¡¯t get abused and have a psychological shadow, you can face the setback with your ordinary heart, which can accelerate their growth and improvement.


    Arsenal''s unwillingness to take advantage of it, he was determined to kill Ashley Cole, forcing Grenchar to become a full-back, and defending Ovimas.


    But Arsenal''s offense has been very flexible. Ovimas failed to make persistent efforts. They quickly turned the offense to the left. Pire''s advantage over Ferreira was not as obvious as Ovimas'' crushing Cole, but Pires stopped the ball to get rid of the inward movement smoothly, and the world wave helped Arsenal equalize the score in the penalty area after an inward cut.


    "In the 40th minute of the first half, Arsenal equalized the score! It looks like they have found the state, and Pirel even shot such a world wave, which is very surprising."

 Chapter 390： Shameless young handsome

    Arsenal equalized the score before the end of the first half, from two goals behind to equalizing, which was too much morale. In the boiling Highbury, Wenger rarely showed his passion for celebration, took off his suit. He clenched his fists on the sidelines and applauded the players.


    Aldridge rose calmly from his seat and walked to the sidelines.


    He can accept the result of winning or losing, and won. He entered the FA Cup semi-final and lost. He will not be disappointed. If it is a draw, it will be better. Another match will be given to give the young players one more exercise opportunity.


    Mentality is such a face, but the game can not be an indifferent attitude.


    Before re-kick-off, he called Van der Mede and Glenn Charles in front of him and told them to take it back to the defender. Don¡¯t watch the game has reached 42 minutes, less than 5 minutes from the end of the first half, according to Arsenal The momentum is not good, then the next step is to complete the reversal in the first half.


    Ferreira and Cole must be decompressed, at least until the intermission, so that they have a psychological buffer space.


    After the kick-off, Aldridge stood on the sidelines to watch the battle, the frontiers also shrunk back, and the backcourt defense was an eight-man two-line defense. Arsenal wanted to make a fuss on the wing.


    "At the end of the first half, Arsenal 2:2 Millwall. Arsenal seemed to enter the game at home slowly. After being scored with two goals, he was finally awakened. Fortunately, he entered the locker room with a draw. Otherwise, it will be hard to beat in the second half."


    Aldrich carefully arranged the tactics of the second half during the halftime. It is strange to say that he actually enjoys playing time with substitutes. Because the substitutes are young and the fighting power such as the main lineup, he needs his coach to play more. The role of the team to help the team win. If it is the main lineup, Aldridge basically adjusts the midfield in three words. If he leads in the first half, the midfielder may not need to say a word.


    Paper strength, Millwall now these young players are certainly no match for last season''s Premier League champion Arsenal.


    With weak resistance, great fun.


    At the beginning of the second half, Millwall seemed to retreat across the board. The two full-backs and the full-backs kept their distance. If Pire and Ovimas were fighting alone, they would be trapped in layers.


    Wenger frowned. Was Millwall trying to hold a draw?


    Or entice Arsenal''s two 35-year-old full-backs to step forward and assist?


    If Winterbourne and Dixon really dare to go deeper to assist in the hinterland, it is almost the same as finding death. They can come up, but can they go back in the first time?


    Overmars led the ball to break through Glennshire''s defense, Ashley Cole saw the opportunity to grab, Peter Pan took a quicker step and then changed the ball to the penalty area, Ashley Cole Seeing ghosts and spirits, he thought he could break the ball 100%.


    Fortunately, Neal had been prepared when Ashley Cole was passed, and Ovimas was finally stolen after almost losing his weight.


    After Neal steals the ball and passes straight to Glencharr in front of the left, the Danes do not hesitate and pass the ball forward to Lampard, who then passes the ball diagonally to the right.


    Van der Meide rushed forward from the right wing at the moment when he was turned from the defender. He threw Piray behind him early. He received the ball at the center line and hurried along the side.


    Lampard''s pressure forced Petit and Vieira to guard the dangerous area in front of the penalty area, especially when Klose also pulled out close to the right, Van der Mede singled against Dixon, pretending to pass Later, he used a turn similar to Marseille''s turn to pull the ball past the opponent.


    "Vandermead, 19, defeated Dickson, 35! Vandermead took the ball and crossed the middle. Klose, who had previously pulled out of the penalty area, slid in again. He took the ball in the penalty area and shot it. It turned out to be a fake Action! He shoved the space to give Fanny, afterwards, Fanny, the goal was scored! Fanny Strui scored twice and Millwall led Arsenal again in the 53rd minute of the second half! This is a young man ''S victory, Millwall''s youth storm swept the old Arsenal line! VanderMead, another talented wing player in the Netherlands, will he be the next Ovimas? Hahaha."


    Fanny roared to the stands with excitement after scoring a goal.


    He likes the teammates around him very much now, Van der Mede, Klose, and Glenchard, each of them has good individual ability, and can always create opportunities in a small area. As long as he can flexibly out of space , The ball will come to his feet, then, he scores a goal, celebrates, enjoys...


    But he also knows that their people are not the main characters of Millwall. Although they have played a good game this season, there is still a clear gap with the main lineup.


    If the strength of Millwall''s main lineup is S-level, they are barely considered A-level.


    When Millwall''s main attack group played a destructive offensive football, they became the focus of England''s football. Fleet Street lamented Millwall''s strength, especially in this season''s bench lineup after two or three consecutive seasons. After growing up, the entire first team became a monster.


    Hearing the word substitute, the first reaction of almost everyone is "weak", placed on other teams, even the rich, almost the same.


    No one would think that Millwall¡¯s bench lineup is now synonymous with underdogs. Even professional journalists like David Miller pointed out: If Millwall doesn¡¯t have 11 main players, then add 7 to the bench lineup. With a team of -8 benches, without injury, Hall can lead them to the top three in the Premier League.


    It is certainly impossible to win the championship, but it is no problem to score in the first half of the standings. It is a bit hopeful to compete for the third place.


    Millwall led again, and the game came to the second half again, Arsenal began to become a little anxious.


    Fifteen minutes later, Gattuso blocked Vieira''s long shot, and the ball landed at the foot of Paul Ferreira. He faced Pire''s rush but calmly smashed the ball to avoid the other party, and then came Feet made Aldridge raise his head to applaud the good shot for him.


    This is a long pass to transfer the ball, diagonally from the right to the left, Glennshire got the ball on the left, and then began an unreasonable long-distance attack.


    Petit wanted to help defend the wing, and after running two steps, he immediately turned around and ran to the back line.


    Fuck, speed is not a level at all!


    Glenn Charles brought the ball to the left in front of the penalty area. Facing Winterbourne, he did not have a more skilled skill than Van der Mede. His choice was very simple and rude, and he stopped in front of Winterbourne. Reversing, horizontal dribbling.


    Winterbourne changed from a frontal defense to a move to the middle, and his eyes could only see the face of Glennshire.


    "21-year-old Glenn Charles made 35-year-old Winterborn completely untouchable with his jersey! How would he choose? Will he continue to be outstanding? Fanny leaned back on Adams, Klose inserted, Pei Titt was about to rob him. Just before Pettit touched the ball, Glenn Carre slammed the ball under his feet. In the middle of the penalty area, Lampard killed and shot long! The ball came in! Lampard''s Violent long-range shooting, the ball hit the goal in the corner, Seaman looked at the ball and sighed, Millwall''s youth storm swept Highbury, and Arsenal fell again by two goals!"


    After Lampard shot, he was knocked down from behind, it was Vieira, and after the pass of Glencharr, he was knocked down by Petit.


    Even though the ball has been scored, the referee still showed Petit a yellow card, thinking that the move he just grabbed was a dangerous move.


    Lampard got up from the ground, ran to pull up Glenshire, and hugged him to the side of the court, Millwall fans cheering for them in the stands.


    It seems that these young players are like a group of lion cubs, fighting heroically!


    Aldridge couldn''t restrain the pleasant smile on the sidelines.


    It''s really right to send the bench lineup today.


    They are full of energy and strong fighting spirit, and it feels weaker than Arsenal, forcing Arsenal to be the main attack. Both teams are good at anti-counterfeiting, but Millwall has more opportunities.


    Wenger kicked the water bottle on the sidelines.


    It''s hard to say whether Winterburn or Dixon were completely exploded by Glenn Carre and VanderMead today.


    After all, they are the main attack, the avant-garde line and the back line will be disconnected when they are counterattacked, especially on the basis that the opponent''s side players are super fast.


    The frontal defense is passed by the fast and flexible players, which is understandable, plus they are already 35 years old. When they were anti-counterfeit, they first stabilized the defense. After compressing the space, they can guarantee the success rate of the defense and can be counterattacked. , The opponent''s two winged swords, how many defensive players in the Premier League can guarantee a 100% defensive success rate in one-on-one defense? And when the opponent''s speed has fully rushed!


    Wenger was annoyed that he did not see Millwall''s counterattack during the first goal loss in the second half.


    In the second half, the two goals were almost exactly the same. Millwall had two wings flying in the first half, and the second half changed. He cut off one side and played a single side, but he was very particular about which side to play.


    The first time was a successful defense on the left, and the counterattack was transferred to the right. Because Glencharre participated in the defense on the left, it was not so fast from the defense to the attack.


    The second time was a successful defense on the right. The counterattack was immediately transferred to the left. This transfer offensive and forward, not only allowed Arsenal to defensively focus on the defense, but also gave the wing players the start to move forward. Space and time.


    This is also the focus of Aldridge''s adjustment of tactics in the second half.


    2:4, Millwall led two goals, with 20 minutes left in the game.


    Aldridge got up and started to play with some shameless tricks.


    "Mirwall substitutions, three substitutions at a time? Glenchar, Van der Med, Klose three were replaced, Pedretti, Duff, Ronaldinho came on, uh, Peder Retty claimed to be Pony Clare. He played defensive midfielder. Isn''t it to liberate Lampard? Let''s see, Millwall''s static formation should become 4321, Gattuso, Lampard, Pei Dreti formed a three-pointer midfielder, Duff and Ronaldinho played on the sidelines, and Fanny singled the arrow. Aldrich seemed to be holding the victory."


    Aldridge smiled as he stood on the sidelines.


    Wenger''s face was as black as carbon.


    The gentle professor wanted to scold the dirty words.


    The Millwall soldiers were strong and strong, and when Glenn Carre and Van der Mede ran tired, they replaced Duff and Ronaldinho, and more shamelessly put out a three-pointer.


    This made Arsenal even more tactical.


    Isn''t it nonsense that Midway wants to penetrate the defense area of ??the three-backs?


    Ronaldinho and Duff have just played, and they seem to be defenders. But if they are counterattacked again, these two men will rush to Arsenal''s defense line. Can Arsenal stand up?


    Aldrich is indeed more shameless. In fact, he was scared of Ronaldinho when he replaced Ronaldinho. No matter on which side, Winterburn and Dixon, who ran for 70 minutes, could resist Ronaldinho?


    If there is no offensive attack on both waists, can Arsenal fight against the sidelines and fight, can it be effective?

 Chapter 391： Dynasty foundation

    Rarely, Highbury''s stands booed, not for the guest Millwall, but for the home team Arsenal.


    Arsenal fans claim to be the highest quality fans in the Premier League, because they are too quiet, like scholars watching literary films, and rarely like other fans in the stands to continue to support the momentum of fanaticism, but this does not deny them to the team Loyalty.


    Since Arsenal reversed Manchester United and Millwall last season and won the long-standing top league championship, Arsenal fans have been sincerely convinced of Wenger, but today the game is played like this, the home looks like to lose to Millwall For the 2nd team, Arsenal fans naturally cannot accept it.


    Wenger was determined to kill the thief, unable to return to heaven.


    The cheeky Aldridge put up the bus, so angry Wenger wanted to rush directly to the other party and roar: take some demeanor!


    He always thought that the two played a little bit like a gentleman playing chess, or a duel between knights, winning is winning, losing is defeating, and decent, there is no need to use other such as psychological war smoke bombs in his eyes. Tricks.


    But he really misunderstood Aldridge, this kid has no lofty ideals, and he never even thought about opening a sect in football, maintaining a tactical or style-oriented thing, he is not interested, and he can help the world. If things can''t be done, it is enough to win the game alone and happy to achieve the goal.


    Knowing Wenger for many years, today Aldridge "broken" the professor''s heart.


    Arsenal captain Adams stepped forward. When the team was in distress, he rushed to the first line unfailingly, and the front line was supported by the fire line.


    I have to say that Tony Adams seems to have a domineering nature. When he killed him, the single-handed horse caused the Millwall defender to turn over. Pedretti was knocked down by him directly. The referee also Without fouling, it is considered a reasonable collision. After all, Makelele is still small. Moreover, Makelele is not originally of the burly type, and Pedretti, who used him as a template, can also be imagined.


    "Arsenal started playing long pass again? Remember that during Christmas War, Arsenal played long pass when hanging behind, Bogkamp got a penalty, and now they replay the trick, I don¡¯t know if it will There will be no more amazing results. Adams headers the goal! Kyle, the sly Kyle kicks the ball away, Millwall fights back, Ronaldinho rushes forward, gets the ball, he starts the long-distance attack."


    Ronaldinho overwhelmed Vieira''s harassment with his body after halftime, followed by Duff''s beautiful cross running position to make Petit hesitant in defense, Ronaldinho changed his direction and passed the opponent, then Going forward, Fanny pulled out and Ronaldinho faked a fax to break through Arsenal''s last central defender.


    What about the rest?


    The full-back went up to pass and Adams didn''t run back after the header.


    Seaman abandoned the door and Ronaldinho''s series of moves shocked the four seats.


    He accidentally shook Seaman''s defensive angle laterally, and then shot with one foot!


    Empty door!


    Aldrich stood up when Ronaldinho passed Pettit and walked to the side of the court step by step, feeling it would be a classic personal heroic goal.


    However, after Ronaldinho shot, Aldridge almost knelt on his legs and covered his face with his hands in disbelief.


    "No goal! Ronaldinho! What are you doing? We are all ready to cheer for your magical performance! You can hit the ball with just a push! Uh... sorry, I''m a little bit My emotions are out of control. As an narrator, I should remain neutral, but after seeing Ronaldinho get rid of Vieira, break through Petit, and pass Keon and Shaman¡¯s performances, I think in addition to Arsenal¡¯s Everyone except the fans will be like me."


    Ronaldinho''s last shot made a little effort, and the ball deviated from the goal post by about 20 centimeters. He probably wanted to keep all his movements from the touch of the ball to the shot, so there was no more after shaking Seaman away. Adjusting, but shooting directly, this choice cannot be said to be right or wrong, some shooters adjust to adjust, that is, they can¡¯t shoot, and some people can send the ball to the goal without adjusting the kick. Anyway, Ronaldinho missed The empty door.


    After finishing the shooting, he saw that the ball did not advance, his body moved forward, chose to kneel and slip, and he smiled helplessly.


    He didn''t care, but shocked Seaman in cold sweat.


    Seaman quickly got the ball, then kicked the goal kick, it is estimated that it is not a tactical quick start, it really is to compete against time.


    Millwall players were sighing for Ronaldinho¡¯s failure to hit the ball, and the ball flew back immediately, and crossed the midfield. Pedretti was closest to the landing point. He went to fight for it, but it was a tall figure. Blocked in front of him, then jumped and knocked him away, and Tony Adams running back went back to attack. The goal kick came out and he just grabbed the landing point and rubbed directly after the header, Anelka Originally in front of Mills, when the ball bounced towards him, instead of catching the ball, he turned around and circumvented Mills. Mills judged that the ball was wrong, and the ball bounced off the ground and then flew across his defense zone. Behind him.


    Anelka didn''t wait for Neil to make up the position to block him and then he turned half and turned and volleyed. The ball was hanging at the corner of the goal.


    "In the 81st minute of the second half, Arsenal recovered a goal. Adams assisted Anelka. After a beautiful header, Anelka was really smart. He played Mills with a turn and ran, and his shot was impeccable. There is no doubt that he is a trusted killer for Arsenal in the future!"


    Wenger jumped up excitedly, and then kept beckoning to let the players hurry back to prepare for the kick-off.


    Aldridge was depressed, Ronaldinho did not enter the door, originally 2:5, now it is 3:4.


    He stared at Ronaldinho with some fierce eyes on the sidelines, and at the same time he pointed at him to make him strengthen the defense.


    Ronaldinho is speechless, why is Arsenal so lucky, Adams can send assists from back to goal, why he is so unlucky, he didn''t make an empty goal.


    When the gap between the two balls, the players'' mentality will be easier, but when the score becomes a gap between the balls, the players themselves will take it seriously.


    Fools all know the gap of a ball. As long as Arsenal enters another one, they will win.


    Next, Millwall really retired from the bus, and Arsenal, except Keon, all overwhelmed the half.


    Every time the defense is successful, Millwall will control the ball and open the ball to the other half, and consciously kick the ball higher and farther.


    Wenger kept signaling to the head referee to pay attention to the stoppage time, and Audridge couldn''t help but watch.


    Millwall not only swings the bus, but also delays the time. This delay is used to control the ball, not "laying tactics" or "fraud."


    Maybe these young players have a lot of room for improvement in technical ability, physical quality and tactical literacy, but one thing is commendable, that is, the ball control technology and mentality, playing "walking the monkey", they come in handy.


    Pedretti took the ball to the sideline after successfully stealing Pire, Pire came to grab, he passed the ball to Ferreira behind him, Pire just moved, Ferreira passed the ball back to Pedder Di, the latter continued to protect the ball, Piret became angry and a bit cruel, but did not kick the ball, but Pedretti fell to the ground.


    The referee whistled for a foul and showed Pire a yellow card.


    Pedretti was kicked to the foot, which is considered a "hard" injury, and the pain will pass. If it is a joint, it is easy to be injured.


    "Injury stoppage time of 3 minutes, Arsenal fans booed again, they think the stoppage time is too little, but it is fair to say that the second half of the game is still very smooth, even if the last minute Millwall took the tactic of delaying time , But the game is not interrupted frequently."


    In these 3 minutes, the ball flew in the air. Arsenal had no space to play the ground pass. Long shots would also be blocked by the body. Keller expanded the defensive area. When the opponent was injured and stopped, With 30 seconds remaining, Kyler ran directly out of the penalty area to catch his hands. Then, he was knocked to the ground by Bergkamp. The referee also sentenced Bergkamp to the goalkeeper for a foul.


    After Keller inked for 20 seconds, he also took a yellow card and was sentenced to delay the time. Then he kicked the ball out with a big foot and the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game.


    "The quarter-final of the FA Cup in England ended in a focus battle at Highbury. Arsenal, who was at home, lost to Millwall 3:4. According to the prediction before today''s game, the result should be regarded as a small upset. After all, besides Ronaldinho who came off the bench, Millwall did not send any extra main force to start the full lineup against Arsenal''s main lineup, but they got tickets for the semifinals on the road. I think this victory will also temporarily bring an argument out of the outside world. When Wenger led Arsenal to the top of the British team last season, people are discussing who has stronger coaching ability with Hall. Today Hall can use such a lineup. Arsenal, who defeated Wenger on the road, I think there should be more people who support Hall. Moreover, Hall itself shines more than Wenger in honor."


    Aldridge wanted to shake Wenger after the game, but the other party shrugged off angrily.


    He had to shake hands with Wenger''s assistant and turned his head to look at the young guys who were celebrating the victory in the field. Aldridge couldn''t help but smile, but tried to keep a low profile and left Highbury.


    In an interview after the game, Aldridge stated that he was able to win the game for three reasons.


    "Physical skills, Arsenal players have to cope with the league. Physical fitness is definitely not as good as my players. They are in their early 20s and have more energy. Fighting spirit, I think Arsenal players may still be thinking about the league in their hearts, but my Players, they only think of one thing, that is, victory. They are eager to win every game, give themselves confidence, exercise and improve, show themselves, and prove that they can compete for the main force in the future and become the main force of Millwall. This kind of stimulation is very important for the fighting spirit of young players. The last reason is to play on the spot. Vieira is not in the state today. His position is critical. If he is not in the state, Arsenal will be in trouble, and Millwall has several names. The players performed particularly well. To be honest, I was also surprised. Glenn Carrell, Van der Mead, Lampard, and Neil, Gattuso are quite satisfactory. As for Fannie, hehe, I think I scored two today The ball is just his normal level."


    After eliminating Arsenal to advance to the FA Cup semi-finals, Fleet Street shouted in unison after the game: The mad lion dynasty is about to be born!


    Millwall is now strong and strong. Unlike last season that won the Champions League, the main bench gap is large. Now Millwall has a strong bench thickness, can handle multi-line combat, and maintain an excellent record, plus the main lineup. The talented player, Millwall obviously has the foundation to start a dynasty.

 Chapter 392： Gattuso sets a record

    When the FA Cup lottery results came out, most fans complained about the FA.


    In the FA Cup semi-finals, Millwall and Manchester United met.


    Everyone hopes that the two will meet in the finals. If the Champions League has better luck, maybe Millwall will compete with Manchester United on the third line!


    What an exciting script this will be!


    The third-tier championship was a bit far away, and Millwall fell off the chain in the 31st round.


    In Vera Park, Millwall faced Aston Villa, who was determined to get tickets for the European War, and the result was a tie.


    Surprisingly, Manchester United tied Wimbledon away, Arsenal also tied Southampton away. Only Chelsea beat Charlton in the first four teams and re-entered the championship.


    With 7 rounds left in the league, Millwall leads Manchester United by 4 points and Arsenal and Chelsea by 6 points. For the rest of the schedule, Millwall wants to talk directly to Chelsea and Arsenal. It is still unknown who will kill Deer.


    There is no problem with the depth of the bench. Aldridge has no trouble facing the continuous battle platoon formation. Before going to Kiev, he attended the press conference and announced the 18-person roster.


    Media reporters all over Europe who followed Millwall were stunned.


    Giancarlo asked everyone''s voice.


    "Will Millwall take the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals and bring two strikers?"


    Aldridge nodded and said, "Yes, I think it''s enough. Larson started and Henry came off the bench."


    The reporters had the final say, two goalkeepers, seven guards, two forwards, and seven midfielders left.


    A closer look at the enrollment list, everyone guessed Aldridge''s plan.


    This Nima is going to swing the bus!


    Makelele, Gattuso, Pedretti, Lampard, Van der Med, Nedved, plus one more Duff.


    Ronaldinho and Pirlo don''t bring...


    In the first round, he had a two-ball advantage. Aldrich could not run away to play against Dynamo Kiev. Obviously, there are many unfavorable factors for visiting. Does he have to fight against the weather and the venue to tell the outsiders to win?


    Bring a part of the bench, the starting point is also to let them familiarize themselves with the rhythm of the game in Eastern Europe. At least there is a psychological adaptation. In the future, they will not be caught by surprise.


    Flying to Kiev was another short flight time. After Millwall stayed in the hotel in Kiev, the night before the game, local fans in Kiev held a massive harassment outside the hotel.


    A group of people played rock concerts outside until late at night, and the fans also put up slogans to combat the morale of Millwall.


    It cannot be said that this effect will be fatal, but at least it will have a certain effect.


    Van der Med and Duff were mentally weak the next day, and the hotel had poor sound insulation. They didn¡¯t sleep until four in the morning. Fortunately, they were not the main force. Like Nedved, they had experience in the main force. They wore headphones before going to bed. Listening to the sleep music, there is the movement of the gods and beasts crossing the sky and the thunder and the thunder, and they cannot stop them from falling asleep.


    In the evening game, Aldridge put on a slim coat and commanded the game in London. He could take off his suit, but Kiev was so **** cold at night.


    Fucking temperature.


    When he appeared, the Dynamo Kiev fans gave him a boo.


    They all heard that Millwall would put a bus here.


    When the starting list came out, their boos increased.


    The most intuitive feeling of the lineup that Millwall discharged is hard!


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Mills, Materazzi, Ferdinand, Neal.


    Double waist: Gattuso, Makelele.


    Bilateral avant-garde: Pedretti, Lampard.


    Front waist: Nedved.


    Forward: Larson.


    Millwall put on a 451, and the midfield is completely a sight that is armed to the teeth.


    From the start of the game, fans of Dynamo Kiev booed Millwall, and as long as they took the ball, intercepted the ball, and stolen and destroyed Dynamo Kiev''s offense, the boos in the stands would be deafening.


    Aldridge was very puzzled from the coach seat.


    Dynamo Kiev went to Wembley to put a bus, and Millwall was a guest in the iron bucket. What''s wrong?


    Why boo us?


    The fans of Dynamo Kiev boasted that the other party was right and strong.


    Who makes you defending champions?


    Before coming, Millwall announced the 18-man roster. Lobanovsky heard about it, but he couldn''t believe it.


    Can the information from the opponent itself be trusted?


    Even at home, Lobanovski was still taboo against Millwall and lost to him at home last season.


    He is not afraid of Millwall''s mad attack, so Dynamo Kiev will have more opportunities.


    He was most afraid of Millwall playing defense.


    Today, Millwall is extremely inclined to defend.


    This is the most troublesome. Once the strong team is emaciated, its weaker opponents have almost no choice.


    Observing the running of both players after the opening, it can be clearly seen that Millwall''s players have a slow rate. In the weather that is about 6 degrees lower than the average daily temperature in London, the players are not very comfortable and the venue is also awkward to kick.


    Henry was shrinking his neck in a warm coat. He was sitting in the back row. The probe came out right in the ear of Aldridge. He asked curiously, "Head, don''t you feel embarrassed?"


    Aldridge asked strangely, "What is embarrassing?"


    Henry took it for granted: "Boo."


    "Oh, what''s embarrassing?"


    "Cough, you are the coach of the Champions League."


    "So what? If you were to go up and kick hard, hum, maybe you will have to be injured in ten minutes."


    Henry didn''t ask anything after hearing it. He thought Aldrich would rather be booed and protect the players.


    Although not all for this reason, there must be this consideration.


    The weather is cold, and in unfamiliar venues, the probability of injury will increase.


    This is completely different from the situation of playing against Dynamo Kiev in the group stage last season. At that time, the situation of the group''s qualifying was unclear. Dynamo Kiev can play at home. Today, Dynamo Kiev is completely against Milwall. Desperate posture!


    Once Millwall pulled away from the opponent and the distance between the three lines shrank significantly, then Millwall''s players will inevitably do more start-up acceleration in order to keep up with each other, and it is easy to be injured.


    Today, the five midfielders formed all-round protection of the defender line, compressing the space. The Dynamo Kiev''s positional attack could not fully advance into the dangerous area. It only had a long-range peripheral and personal breakthrough.


    Millwall¡¯s offense is also very unsatisfactory. Most of the time, he can¡¯t find the frontcourt. The force invested in the attack is too small. When Larson is marked to death, Nedvide will not take a ball. Rushing forward, today Millwall¡¯s speed characteristics are weakened to the limit, and they can¡¯t break through the opponent¡¯s defense line by speed, but they control the ball and wait for the opponent to grab, which in turn consumes the opponent¡¯s physical strength and psychologically will also make the opponent Become anxious.


    "The first 45 minutes of the game ended. Dynamo Kiev got only three shots in the first half, including two long shots and Millwall zero shots. Looking at the data, we can''t see Milwaukee. He has the momentum of the defending champion, but considering that they hold a two-ball advantage and lead by a total score of 2:0, Hall wants to get the ticket to the semifinals at the lowest cost, which is reasonable, but the fans do not seem to agree As long as Millwall''s players touch the ball, the audience will make a huge boo."


    Lobanovski walked back to the locker room with a sullen face, but Aldridge didn''t change his face, even if the fans booed harshly, he was ignored.


    With less and less game time in the second half, Dynamo Kiev invested more and more troops in their offense. They must at least score a goal before they can see the hope of promotion.


    Aldrich seems to be telling the outside world through this game that if his team puts on the bus, it will make the opponent feel desperate.


    When the game reached 75 minutes, Dynamo Kyiv pressed all over, and the back defense was exposed. Gattuso steals Belkovic and successfully opened the frontcourt with a big foot.


    Larson walked almost in the previous time, waiting for such an opportunity. After successfully countering the offside, he rushed forward and the other goalkeeper attacked.


    Shovkovsky rushed out of the penalty area and wanted to clear the ball. As a result, he judged that he had made a mistake. The ball bounced three meters in front of him. He jumped and used his body to block the ball, but the ball jumped over the top of his head...


    Larson rushed past him, the ball bouncing and jumping slowed down, Larson didn''t touch the ball, looked back to see Shovkovsky''s position, the other party completely gave up.


    Larson followed the ball slowly and watched the ball roll to the goal.


    "Millwall scored a goal with a total score of 3:0. Dynamo Kyiv had no chance unless they scored 4 goals of the opponent in 15 minutes. Uh, the initiator of this goal should be Gattuso, Larsen deliberately didn''t touch the ball and let the ball roll into the goal. This goal is probably the longest goal in the history of the Champions League. The home length of Dynamo Kiev is 120 yards. He is about 15 yards behind the middle circle The distance is the starting point, that is, the distance of about 75 yards is broken! Uh, whether it is a record, I need to check the historical data of the Champions League. I¡¯m sorry."


    Gattuso''s original intention was a big pass. He didn''t expect the opponent''s goalkeeper to send a big gift, and made a mistake. He directly let the ball fly from the head and flew past his head. Then Gattuso saw Larson running past. He was already low. The fist was celebrated.


    Larson obviously did not offside. If this ball can kick, Gattuso must break Larsen''s leg.


    When he bowed his head and celebrated, Maklele pushed him around and shouted, "You scored!"


    Gattuso just got happy, suddenly stunned, looked up and looked forward, and found that Larson was slowly walking back to him with a smile on his face.


    Gattuso realized that Larson didn''t touch the ball.


    Uh, I scored!


    His reaction was very funny, froze for three seconds, and then suddenly began to rush to the sidelines, while also taking off the jersey and waving it on his head in his hands.


    Millwall went up to the coaching staff and then came to the bench. Each of them stood up and applauded him. Regardless of how good it was, it was a bit incredible to score at that distance, but the process was not so exciting.


    Dynamo Kiev was completely defeated by this goal. Not only did they fail to perform a reversal at home, but they were also scored by their opponents.


    The narrator also confirmed after rummaging through the records. Gattuso''s goal became the longest goal in the Champions League!


    At the end of the game, Millwall''s bench players stood up and celebrated with the players on the court.


    "The defending champions defeated Dynamo Kyiv by a total score of 3:0 to reach the semi-finals. This achievement was quite remarkable. Millwall was only two rounds away from the defending and one victory in the finals. Of course, they must first defeat the half. The opponents in the finals do not yet know which team they will meet, but Hall¡¯s team will not be afraid of their opponents. It should be the other semi-final teams praying to avoid this seemingly impossible to be defeated. Mad lion!"

 Chapter 393： Most suspenseful season

    The Premier League has entered the sprint stage. In addition to Millwall''s obvious advantage in the top four teams, Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea are watching from behind. From Kiev to London, Millwall is about to usher in a game. London Derby, the opponent is the nearest Premier League team Charlton.


    In the early morning of Friday, Aldridge drove to the club to work and gathered many reporters at the door of the club. Their characteristics are more obvious. They are young and belong to the newcomers in this industry. Generally, experienced senior reporters will not squat down to find In the news, especially in the football circle, famous reporters have their own information channels, use the network to get the latest news, and even exclusive reports.


    Aldrich¡¯s car slowed down at the club¡¯s door, and the rookie reporters swarmed to take a picture of him by the side of the car, and asked him questions in a hurry.


    "Mr. Hall, Millwall''s Champions League semi-final opponent is Bayern Munich. Do you think this sign is good or bad? Is Millwall confident to reach the final at the Camp Nou?"


    "Manchester United and Juventus have drawn together. If Manchester United wins, Millwall will also enter the finals. The two Premier League teams will meet in the finals. Do you think such a situation will appear? Does this mean that English football is opened in Europe? The prelude to the rule?"


    "I heard that you and Juventus coach Ancelotti are close friends. If he asks you for tips on restraining Manchester United, will you help him beat Manchester United?"


    ...


    Aldrich just drove down the corner and entered the club normally, but the reporters were surrounded by the car. He was very disgusted with this kind of situation. He didn¡¯t pretend to be a big player, so he closed the window and drove in without answering any questions. The club.


    Some reporters showed disappointment, while others bowed their heads and whispered a few swear words.


    The quarter-finals of the Champions League came out, and the Millwall soldiers defeated Dynamo Kyiv.


    Manchester United Lectra Inter Milan advanced to the semifinals.


    Bayern Munich swept Kaiserslautern 6:0 in the German Civil War.


    Juventus beat Olympiacos in a semi-final with a shocking 3:2.


    Millwall and Manchester United from the Premier League appeared in the semi-finals list, which excited Fleet Street. The strong recovery of the Premier League in European football is undoubted. Now everyone is looking forward to the English Civil War at the Camp Nou!


    Aldridge felt a bit of luck, and Millwall reached Bayern Munich, the strongest of his three opponents in his opinion!


    Bayern Munich in the 98-99 season, in the hearts of many Bayern fans, may be the decade of the 1990s, the first decade after the new millennium, the strongest Bayern Munich in these 20 years, even the 2001 Champions League champion Bayern Munich also seems to be slightly inferior.


    On the training ground, the players are also talking privately, they are eager to try, and ambitious to fight against the Bundesliga giants.


    Aldrich''s life is organized step by step, keeping a low profile of public opinion and keeping his work focused.


    But the London Derby on the weekend made him rarely get angry at the team after the game.


    At the end of the 90-minute game, Charlton''s players cheered with a score of 1:1.


    There is no Derby atmosphere in this game, but the degree of importance is undoubtedly. Millwall met Charlton in the relegation zone in the penultimate round of the league. If it is against this opponent who is not strong on paper, With less than 3 points, could Millwall be sure to win against Chelsea and Arsenal?


    However, the players are obviously distracted. It is estimated that they feel that the opponent is coming to send points, and the difference in strength is obvious. As long as they play the usual level, 3 points will be captured.


    Before the game, Aldridge told thousands that the relegation team¡¯s fighting power should not be underestimated, but Millwall lost the ball in the middle and frontcourt at the beginning of the game and was directly counterattacked by the opponent. Materazzi was in the penalty area Inwards knocked down the opponent''s striker and was awarded a penalty. This penalty is not controversial. The opponent opened the record with a penalty kick.


    In the following time, Millwall carried out an indiscriminate attack on Charlton, and under the obstruction of the opponent''s crazy fight and frequent fouls, Millwall failed to achieve a reversal, only Larson passed the penalty area. Tripped and scored a penalty to equalize the score.


    Aldridge walked into the locker room and threw the door directly after the game. After a loud noise, he roared at the team with a stern face.


    "Today''s game is simply shit, what are you guys playing? Trash! Your worth is more than 10 times that of the opponent! Your salary is more than 5 times that of the opponent! Then, you have to come up with 5 times stronger than the opponent Fighting spirit, fighting spirit 10 times more brave than the opponent! Fuck! You **** treat football as a game! I tell you, every game is a war! For us, a draw or a loss is just Damn it! A complete failure! Go back to bed early today, get up tomorrow morning and buy all the newspapers, turn on the TV and watch football news, what will happen? Mock and ridicule! You remember all the mockery and humiliation from the outside world! If you do not want to be treated like this again, wake me up and value every opponent!"


    The game failed to win, and the players themselves felt very lost, but this time, Aldridge did not choose to comfort them and inspire them.


    Comfort a fart!


    If the game is not won by the team''s best efforts, he will of course not criticize the players.


    But today''s game, he found that the players are a little fluttering, the team''s momentum looks very gratifying, the league points are leading, the FA Cup and the Champions League have entered the semi-finals, the third-line championship, plus they have played the wonderful The offensive football is highly appreciated by the outside world, and perhaps subconsciously believes that it is invincible.


    Ronaldinho and Henry are not good at attacking today. The two are a bit arrogant. In many one-on-one situations, they choose to be aggressive. Yes, they have a very high breakthrough success rate, but they can wait for the breakthrough. What? Immediately caught in the opponent''s double-entry situation, resulting in an offensive abrupt stop, either the ball was killed or directly steal.


    But Aldridge did not want to blame one or several players. He has always emphasized the team and lost points on Charlton. This group should be criticized.


    After the game, the players of the first team of Millwall did not leave. They stayed in the club to hold a team meeting. In the next game, Southgate will take the lead and stabilize the military. Let all the players in the next one For half a month, I put my mind in the game and value every opponent!


    Aldrich¡¯s anger is not unreasonable. In the middle of the season, Millwall¡¯s performance can definitely win opponents like Charlton, but he emphasized before the game that he came to the end of the season. The opponent¡¯s paper The strength of the face is a secondary factor. The opponents of the two big groups in the league will be stronger than usual.


    The top-ranked teams need to compete for tickets to the European War, and the bottom-ranked teams must strive to relegate. Every game will be head-to-head with opponents.


    On the contrary, those mid-stream teams who seem to have good strength have no desire, and the game is better.


    In the same round, Manchester United struggled at home to defeat Derbyshire, who strive to enter the UEFA Cup, 1:0.


    Arsenal thrashed relegation team Blackburn 1-0 at home.


    Chelsea were 1-0 Lectra at Stamford Bridge, almost smashing the opponent''s dream of hitting the top three for the Champions League tickets.


    The top four teams either faced the relegation team or the forefront team for the European War in this round. The other three teams won extremely difficult, but Millwall was tied. This time, the Premier League competed for the championship More exciting.


    The following day, the front page headline of the Times was: "The most suspenseful season!"


    Millwall is only 2 points away from Manchester United, and only 4 points away from Arsenal and Chelsea. In the case of 6 rounds left in the league, Millwall still has the initiative to win the championship, but Manchester United¡¯s championship compensation The rate soared wildly, almost the same as Millwall, because Millwall will encounter Chelsea and Arsenal in the last four rounds, and the probability of Manchester United fisherman profit is very high.


    Millwall''s first team was fully engaged in preparation.


    In the middle of the week, Aldridge attended the UEFA press conference, and Millwall and Bayern Munich will start the first round of the Champions League semi-finals.


    When Aldridge walked into the press conference, the spotlight masterpiece was on the spot, and the handsome man sat down as usual, briefly answering reporters¡¯ questions.


    "Although Millwall is the defending champion, we are not popular. I think from the team strength comparison, Bayern Munich is even stronger than us. Look at their lineup, Matteus, Effenberg, Kahn, Lizarazu... Millwall is younger, but Bayern is more mature. At the level of the Champions League semi-final, mature and experience I think will have a more important impact on the game, but Millwall is not without opportunities If we want to go to Camp Nou, we must fight the other side with bleeding and will."


    "Will Millwall be distracted by the fierce competition in the league? At least Bayern Munich doesn''t have this worry. They have a huge advantage in the Bundesliga."


    After thinking for a while, Aldridge said: "For the 180-minute game, I need the players to concentrate and concentrate on the game. If we will be distracted by the league, then we cannot win."


    "Can you talk about Heathfield? He said it was a test for Bayern Munich after the lottery results came out. He called you a marshal of magic and thought you have a magic power that can make such a young team extremely powerful. It is absolutely wrong for the outside world to underestimate Millwall before the season."


    Aldrich smiled, and he replied: "I respect Coach Heathfield very much, he is a senior, and compared to him, I am obviously a child. Ha ha ha, he led Dortmund to win the Champions League, and now he has to lead Bayern Munich is going to impact the Champions League. His ability to tune the team is admirable."


    "Will Millwall fully attack in posture in the first round?"


    "The offense is definitely going to happen. If you can''t win the opponent in London, then going to Munich, the team''s situation is very dangerous, but the premise is that we must defend well, we want to limit the opponent to score away goals."


    "Southgate has just returned, will he play tomorrow?"


    "Yes, the captain of his team, his comeback will bring positive factors to the team."


    "But can he limit the combination of Yankel and Elber''s striker?"


    "I never think that defense is a one-on-one contest between an offensive player and a certain defensive player. We will limit the opponent''s overall play layer by layer from the forward line, the forward line, the back line, the back line. Only in this way can the best be achieved. In other words, if Yankel and Elber cannot get support, they will have no chance to play."


    ...

 ~： The first round is about to start, Wembley seats are full, a ticket is hard to come by!

    Mo said that fans of mad lions, countless neutral fans also want to visit the scene to watch this peak matchup.


    Players from both sides are waiting to play in the player channel.


    The 38-year-old Matteus found that someone had been staring at him. He turned his head and looked at Schneider, and the other person greeted him respectfully.


    Why does German football have always had the unique sight of Bayern Munich?


    Wasn''t Dort, Menxing, ever dominating the rivers and lakes?


    There are too many factors in this. In addition to the support of the consortium, Bayern Munich is one of the most important factors for the contribution of the German national team to the championship in the competition year. In particular, Caesar Beckenbauer of the German football team is the chairman of Bayern. It is to further expand the influence of Bayern Munich in the country, which forms the tradition that at least half of the main team of the German national team comes from Bayern Munich. In turn, because of this, the excellent German local players want to go to Bayern Munich, which will increase in disguise. In view of the hope of entering the national team, the pattern of this cycle will be difficult to be broken afterwards.


    Now the main members of Bayern Munich, except for Lizarazu, Elber and Kufuor, are all local German players. Although Kufuor is a Ghanaian player, he is produced by Bayern Youth Training.


    Seeing this group of big brothers, Schneider should greet him respectfully anyway. He also has to substitute Babel for the German national team.


    Ronaldinho''s eyes were tumbling, and Mattus was very annoyed. Ronaldinho was curious. The opponent was twice his age, but he could also start in this level of competition, just like a monster.


    ...


    Aldridge and Heathfield greeted a few words before the game, and then stood in front of the coach to wait for the game to start.


    Players from both sides entered the stadium, and the Champions League theme song resounded from Wembley.


    "Good evening, audience friends, the tense Champions League semi-final kicked off. The defending champion Millwall broke into the semi-finals in the second year of the Champions League. Their opponent is Bayern Munich. Both teams sent today. The strongest lineup against the opponent.


    Millwall started 433.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.


    Midfielders: Makelele, Pirlo, Nedved.


    Forwards: Larson, Henry, Ronaldinho.


    Bayern Munich start 532.


    Goalkeeper: Kahn.


    Guards: Babel, Kufuor, Matteus, Link, Lizarazu.


    Midfielders: Jeremys, Effenberg, Basler.


    Forwards: Yankel, Elber.


    Millwall is undoubtedly the best attacking team in the European strong team, Bayern Munich is a very defensive team. What kind of spark will the two teams make today, we will wait and see! "


    Aldridge stared at Bayern Munich''s starting lineup with some excitement.


    Yes, Millwall encountered a complete and powerful Bayern Munich.


    It''s not the history of Manchester United that Bayern Munich, which lacked Lizarazu and Elber, is missing!


    In the classic 99-year Champions League final in history, Bayern Munich fans who might not be able to put it in their hearts may say: If Lizarazu and Elber can play...


    Manchester United fans will definitely fight back: if Keane and Scholes can also play!


    If Matteus was not replaced in the last 10 minutes of the game.


    in case¡­¡­


    The football world is a king and defeated, there is no if.


    But the reality is that Bayern Munich, which Millwall encountered, is in full swing. After twenty years, this is almost the most legendary team that has been talked about!


    Needless to say, Kahn, the strongest goalkeeper in German history, is in the golden age of the player''s career.


    Babel, Germany won the European Cup championship lineup in England in 1996!


    Kufuor and Link are the main players in the history of Bayern from the 99th runner-up to the 01 Champions League championship.


    Matteus, the 38-year-old evergreen Matteus, in terms of honor, perhaps German football only Beckenbauer is above him, the national team¡¯s World Cup, European Cup champion, runner-up, third runner-up The club''s honor is only one Champions League champion, and he is fighting for it.


    German football has emerged with 352 or 361 tactics in recent years. The key position is a character like Matteus, a free man!


    It is a scavenger when defending, and he can provide support during the offense. Wherever he needs it, he will be there. Therefore, Bayern Munich''s tactical formation can be 352, 343 during offense, and 532 when defending.


    This position has a very high degree of freedom, almost relying on personal consciousness, reading ability of the game to play, and played well, Summerer won the Golden Globe in 1996, and played badly, then this role on the court is downright rat shit, Not only can it not help the team, but it will harm the team, and Matteus is obviously not rat shit.


    Lizarazu, the strongest left-back in the history of France, just helped France win the first World Cup trophy last year.


    Jeremys, Germany''s strongest defensive midfielder of this period, has characteristics similar to Gattuso in the future peak period, and has a strong sweeping ability.


    Effenberg, bravely carrying the banner of German football during this period, has a distinctive personality, is a natural leader, and has no eyesight for sand. In the original history, he mercilessly criticized Mattus for taking the initiative to end in the 99 finals. Thing, and after Mattus left, it was an incentive for Bayern Munich.


    Although this "bad boy" is a superstar in the midfield, his organizational ability is quite different from that of a master. If it is intuitively said that Barak is his successor, but his leadership temperament adds to his color. To become a top midfielder.


    Basler, an aggressive offensive midfielder, played well in the Bundesliga and also won the Bundesliga golden boots, but the German tanks pay more attention to solidarity and spirit on the field, and it is not surprising that they are not reused by the national team. .


    Elber, the most successful foreign aid in the Bundesliga''s history so far, came to the peak of his professional career after coming to Bayern Munich.


    Yankel, a traditional German high center, complements Elber''s partner.


    Even so, Bayern Munich sits on the bench with a big vote.


    Sauer, Tannat, Ziegler, Fink, Strendz...These benches are either talented or crowded on the bench by stronger teammates, like Strendz, Tannat, but Both are members of the national team, and Strenz is the final player who reached the European Cup in 1996.


    "The game started, Millwall kicked in first. After Henry put the ball to Larsson, we saw three players from Bayern Munich threw up, Yankel, Elber, Basler running in a level way. Pushing forward, Bayern Munich seems to be fighting for the land, and does not give the home team Millwall any breathing space."


    After taking the ball, Pirlo didn''t expect his opponent to rob him like a hungry wolf. He couldn''t find the spot in the frontcourt and then passed the ball back.


    The intuitive feeling at the beginning was: Millwall was cut by Bayern Munich!


    The distance between the midfield line and the striker line is widened, and there must be Bayern Munich players blocking the pass or preparing to press.


    The tactical literacy of the German team is unquestionable. They are not as romantic and beautiful as the Latins. They are brave and **** on the court, with a murderous spirit.


    Today, when Millwall¡¯s attack group meets Bayern Munich, the offensive quality is very different from the destructive momentum that can often be played before.


    The offensive was blocked, blocked, the offensive was intercepted, and then re-interrupted and then straightened, still not hit.


    Effenberg, who can''t run, and Jeremys, who has been sweeping and fighting fiercely, completely suppressed the Pirlo organization. Even if Ronaldinho retreated, Nedved retreated, but the frontline was isolated.


    Especially Mattus, who is mature and mature, is obviously 38 years old, but you feel that he is everywhere!


    Whenever Millwall''s offense improved slightly, Mattus appeared in the focus of attention in the most critical area, and it seemed that even the audience would question: is he 18 or 38?


    At his age, playing football is no longer mainly based on blood, as long as 20 years of playing experience will allow him to see the game situation on the court, plus he is a free man and has no fixed defensive zone. He has no worries, accurately judges the development of the ball, and then appears in a key position to intercept.


    The game played for 20 minutes, and Millwall had no better offensive chance except Henry started a shot when he first entered the penalty area.


    Aldridge didn''t move on the sidelines. He wasn''t restless and mastered overhands. The first thing he thought of was to limit the opponent. Bayern Munich has done a good job today and can even be said to be perfect!


    At the same time, he also hopes that players will cherish such opportunities.


    Abuse of food cannot be a god, and you must fight bravely with such top-level masters in order to detect your own shortcomings and make them realize that there is a sky beyond the sky and move towards a higher goal.


    Bayern Munich played away today. The first thing they had to do was defense. Naturally, they weakened the offense. Even Yankel and Elber were actively harassing the offense. Their counterattack basically relied on singles. Bath Le made a personal breakthrough and passed Pirlo cleanly. Fortunately, Makelele stabilized his center of gravity and did not eat, and then succeeded in stealing. Otherwise, Millwall''s defense line must be urgent.


    In a high-paced game, the players are more demanding, and they need to make the best choice in the shortest time so that they can exert their strength to compete with their opponents.


    Although there were few opportunities for both sides of the game, the confrontation was fierce, and the audience did not seem to feel the passage of time.


    Half an hour later, Millwall still did not get a decent good chance, and it seems that they did not have an advantage in Wembley.


    Aldridge saw the crux of the problem. The previous wave of winning streak and the easy elimination of Dynamo Kiev put the attack group into a fixed pattern.


    Whether it is Ronaldinho, Henry, or Nedved, they want to pass the offense into the opponent''s penalty area through ground pass or personal breakthrough.


    Changed the opponents I faced in the past. This is okay. As long as you are patient, you can get at least 3 excellent opportunities in 90 minutes.


    But in the face of Bayern Munich, especially when there is a Bayern Munich, Mattus, who served as a scavenger during the defense, Millwall played this way and would only return without success.


    Aldridge gave Pirlo a gesture, and he nodded immediately, and Aldridge gave the players in front of him two more strokes with simple and clear instructions, and they immediately understood.


    To put it bluntly, such attack groups require more offensive means.


    They succeeded in playing the ground pass and cut the ground pass all the time. This way of play, when they meet the opponents, they will use their personal breakthrough. Time changes.


    This is a matter of mating and shaping.

 Chapter 395： Falling Meteor

    Wembley, the greenery filled with smoke, Millwall and Bayern Munich struggled inseparably.


    Heathfield sat solemnly on the coach seat.


    Bayern Munich is mainly defensive on the road. This is understandable. In the two rounds of the knockout, the team playing the first round in the first round will not be too aggressive. Unless the score change within 90 minutes makes the suspense begin to disappear.


    He led Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, so they lost far fewer goals at home than at home, which made them perform well at home and away. suspense.


    With 5 minutes left in the first half of the game, Heathfield found that Millwall¡¯s offense started to change, the rate was faster, the handling of the ball was easier, and he took the opportunity to shoot.


    In such contests where the offense and defense are top-notch, Millwall''s attack group is actually very uncomfortable after the opening. Like Ronaldinho, he can take the ball to do at least three actions before, stop the ball, get rid of, pass, and pass. Suddenly he seemed to be unhurried, but today, as long as he touches the ball, the opponent has little room for him to move, and he will be forced to go out of the way with a little hesitation, so when dealing with the ball, it must be simple and fast, before the ball is received To think about the next development of the ball.


    After 40 minutes, Millwall began to dominate, and after getting acquainted with Bayern Munich''s defensive routines and rhythm, the players adjusted themselves to respond.


    "At the end of the first half, the score is still 0:0. Although neither side scored, but it can not be denied that this is a very high quality offensive and defensive first half, especially the defense of the two teams, Bayern Munich strangle Milwaus in the position battle Er''s passing and running position and individual play, they have done a good job at this point, especially Matteus, he almost makes the ghosts of running position Larsen and Henry feel desperate, and there is often a moment of passing space , They ran out of time, as long as the ball is a great opportunity, but Matteus always accurately intercepted the pass line or returned to defend the card in time to resolve the opponent¡¯s offensive. The all-round king of German football is not old. With respect to everyone, Bayern Munich¡¯s counterattack after being transferred from the defender was also suppressed by Millwall¡¯s rapid counter-attack from the frontcourt. Nedved played a key role in suppressing Effenberg when he returned to the defense. Markle Ley and Pirlo''s attack on Basler gave Bayern Munich an advantage in the midfield. If Elber and Yankel retreated deeper to get the ball, then the forward development into a positional battle would not be able to beat the speed. Personal breakthrough, they may be able to pass a player, but will always be destroyed by Millwall''s defense."


    After returning to the locker room, Aldridge looked at the sweaty players with his arms around his chest.


    They wiped sweat while whispering to discuss the game in the first half. Larson and Nedved exchanged ideas about the running position. Schneider and Materazzi reminded each other of the marking of Elber. The first half was poor. A little bit by Elber to break through the defense to form a single-pole ball, but fortunately Materazzi long legs shoveled the ball out of bounds in advance.


    When they are fully engaged in the game, they will forget the surrounding environment. After about three minutes, they are all stunned and turned to look at Aldridge.


    It¡¯s time to listen to Aldridge¡¯s tactical adjustments, which is the most beneficial magic weapon when they are often unable to open the situation.


    Seeing everyone looking at themselves, Aldridge gently asked with a smile on his face: "Enjoy?"


    The players'' expressions were frozen, and Nedved suddenly smiled after ten seconds: "Enjoy!"


    Other players nodded.


    This high level of competition is what they are after.


    If the opponent is a fish belly, chopping melons and chopping vegetables to fill the opponent with four or five balls, even if it will make them happy, but it will be happy for a while.


    But meeting Bayern Munich, 45 minutes in the first half, gave them a sense of joy in the heart of their opponents, shaking with excitement!


    Failing to win Charlton''s game at home is also a kind of slack on the battlefield. Everyday, pigs are slaughtered and dogs are slaughtered. Anyone will have an interest in chatting with each other. The confrontation only directly despised Charlton.


    Aldrich is satisfied with the status of the players today and is pure and dedicated.


    There is only one thought in my mind, that is to defeat the opponent.


    He didn¡¯t make any more adjustments, he just asked them to shoot faster, move more flexibly, and improve his confidence in grasping opportunities. Sometimes he should shoot and not have to think so much. If he deliberately pursues the offensive cooperation of moving clouds and water, If you want to pass the game three times and two times, you are upside down.


    As he walked out of the locker room, Klinsmann frowned and asked Aldridge: "Why not try to make them focus on one side? We also have this link in training."


    If the frontcourt offensive relies on a five-man attack group, behind the back plus bilateral guards, then Millwall must be richer in play.


    Therefore, in the training, Aldridge will let them deduce the tactics to the extreme, the key point is Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho is on the left, then Henry and Nedved are also pressed to the left, and the three people attract each other in a small range. The heavy soldiers came to defend, and then suddenly shifted the ball to the right, let Larson come to the finisher, or Ronaldinho ran to the right, let Nedved wait for the opportunity on the left, Ronaldinho, Larson, Henry Strong pressure on the right, attracting the defense and drawing space to the left, then suddenly transfer the threatening ball.


    This offensive routine is the focus of the next link, but in today''s game, Aldridge dare not use it.


    "It''s too risky. If the players don''t grasp the timing well, they will give Bayern Munich more opportunities in the counterattack."


    This is the problem of ability. The two are equal. Once Millwall runs out of a certain area when there is no one in the attack, the counterattack will expose a very large empty space, and then be caught by the opponent.


    If you play a weak brigade, you can suppress your opponents with your personal abilities, but Ronaldinho can change the position with Nedved, but he is still under fire on the impact of the change. He needs more games to accumulate experience and improve the reading ability of the game. With tactical literacy.


    In the second half, the two sides changed sides, and Millwall players did not feel tired. When Aldridge asked that question during the halftime break, they completely relieved the pressure and forgot the utilitarian pursuit of the home and away double round knockout.


    Enjoy?


    Yes, it is possible to meet the strong Bayern Munich. Such an opportunity may not be seen many times in their long career. If they are not cherished, they will regret it for life.


    Unleash your energy and enjoy this game!


    In the second half, the two sides still carried out fierce strangulation in the midfield. You came and went to restrict each other''s offense, and no one got a better chance.


    When the 60th minute came in the second half, Aldridge gestured to Schneider and Zambrotta, and they understood it.


    The full-backs have one-sided assists. Once one of the full-backs assists, Pirlo will suppress the thoughts inserted, while the other full-backs must be vigilant in defense.


    This change quickly took effect.


    Pirlo took the ball in the midfield and backcourt, Basler came up to **** him, and Elber was rushing to try to steal from behind. Pirlo''s eyelids did not lift, and the ball was elegant. He calmly kicked the ball to the right. , Schneider strode the meteor forward, and after catching the ball, went forward and directly passed the half.


    Lizarazu withdrew from the defensive line to prevent Larsen from cutting, and Effenberger blocked the pass between Schneider and Nedved.


    Schneider drove the ball all the way forward. When he came to the penalty area forty yards, Larson retreated, Schneider played with him, Henry also pulled out, and Lizarazu saw the opportunity to terminate Ned''s foot ball, but Schneider continued to play with Henry to kick the wall, he pulled to the side to catch the ball, observe the cross after the foot.


    This foot pass looks unreliable!


    The ball didn''t fly towards the penalty area at all, but went to the penalty area sideways. The landing point was right in front of Babel and Coufer. They both had some misunderstandings and were watching Ronaldinho.


    Matteus and Link add Lizarazu on the other side, and the three guard against Larson and Henry''s inward cut.


    Jeremys didn''t expect Schneider''s foot pass to hit the penalty area, but directly over the top of his head. When he turned his head and chased, the roar of Tiger Effenberg was already heard in his ear.


    "Defend him!"


    Effenberg''s original position was stuck between Nedved and Schneider, which was against the opponent''s ground pass. As a result, Schneider''s foot pass hit the ball behind him. He The first time to find Nedved, the other party started faster than him, and obviously will grab the landing point.


    Jeremias could not catch the landing point, so he was consciously alert to Nedved''s breakthrough or pass after stopping the ball.


    But the steel giant Nedved ran forward, the ball landing point was at his step point, the running position was just right, he didn''t wait for the ball landing point, he stood his feet, and hit the ball to shoot and anger!


    Kahn''s scalp was numb, and Kufuor and Jeremy just blocked his vision. When he saw the ball, his pupils shrank, and he moved two steps to the left, then jumped, and the whole body opened to the limit , The left hand tried to keep the ball out of the door, it seems that he is more like trying to touch the limit of the sky!


    The moment Nedved finished the shot, his firm eyes glowed sharply.


    When Schneider passed the ball and the ball flew in the air, the fans in the stands were somewhat disappointed, thinking that Schneider made a mistake in the pass.


    But on the track of the ball''s landing point, Nedvide hit the horse and didn''t give Effenberg and Jeremys any chance. The ball he shot was strong and he blinked as if it was rising into the sky, but after flying up Falling quickly again, the parabolic trajectory is not only obvious, but also wonderful, even the most exquisite artist can''t describe this perfect parabola that falls after exaggerating to the extreme rise!


    Aldridge stared at the side of the field. The remote scene seemed to be in slow motion. He seemed to be able to see Kahn saving to the extreme. His left hand was only 20 cm away from the upper left corner of the door frame. The roar is unparalleled, but the ball just slipped over his fingertips and crashed into the dead end of the goal!


    Wembley seemed to be detonated by an atomic bomb, and 90% of the visitors were fans of crazy lions in the bleached stands. They witnessed this foot enough to load the classics, and they stood up and cheered with excitement. The blue ocean on the stands , Boiling!


    "Wow, wow, wow! Super world wave, super world wave! Millwall opened the Bayern Munich gate, Nedvide defeated the new main goalkeeper Kahn of the German national team! This foot volley shot The effect is like a meteor falling into space from space! Even in the first second, you will think that the ball will fly to the stands, but the ball falls down halfway, hanging the goal dead end! Millwall leads Bayern Munich 1:0!"


    After scoring a goal, Nedved ran wildly towards the corner flag with his fists and open arms, and he kept waving his fists at the fans in the stands.


    The other teammates rushed over to surround him and roared together.


    They have the same belief: beat Bayern Munich, step into the Camp Nou and defend the European Champions Cup!

 Chapter 396： Victory spelled out

    Aldridge knelt and knelt to celebrate when he saw the goal.


    beautiful!


    Fortunately, seeing such a goal appear on the sidelines, he felt it was a fantastic enjoyment.


    Nedved''s explosive shot was heavily angled, and Kahn''s save was only a little bit worse. This is incredible, because Nedved made a far angle and shot the ball from the front left side of the penalty area. In the upper right corner of the goal, Kahn''s reaction is like a god, but unfortunately, God and God''s confrontation, the **** of war Nedved defeated the goalkeeper Kahn.


    After the celebration was over, Aldridge quickly gestured to Schneider and Zambrotta to let them withdraw and never plug in easily.


    In fact, before that attack, before Schneider''s cross, Aldridge''s attention was not in his own team''s attack.


    As the head coach on the sidelines, he is more concerned about the running position of the opponent''s players, plus today''s game both sides must limit the other party''s offense for the first time, making him more attentive.


    After Schneider assisted, Aldridge saw Elber consciously moved to the left. It was Schneider''s defense as a full-back. Although Pirlo also intentionally contracted to the right rear after the pass, but once After being counterattacked, Aldrich did not think that Pirlo could keep up with Elber or directly block the passing of the opponent. Once Pirlo went to the defense of the right rear and only Makelele left in the middle of the defense, it appeared weak. In the defensive link, Bayern Munich has a lot of experience in the field. If Millwall''s attack was frustrated just now, their counterattack will certainly be launched from the left.


    If there is no goal, Aldridge may take risks, but since he has scored, he must be more cautious.


    Heathfield was still sitting on the coach seat, but his expression was more dignified, but the situation was not too bad to be out of control.


    Millwall leads 1:0 and Bayern Munich can accept it if the score is kept at full time.


    Under such circumstances, although Millwall still has an advantage, Bayern Munich''s defense is still solid.


    The goal just now cannot be said to be entirely accidental or lucky, but it is almost impossible to replicate.


    Generally speaking, goals are accumulated by advantages. If the probability of scoring is defined by probability, maybe the chances of the middle and downstream teams are about 10%. A goal can be scored in 10 opportunities, and the upstream team is 15%. The top team is more than 20%.


    The goal scored by Nedved just now is 5% chance at best. It will be repeated 20 times. No matter how it develops, Nedved will shoot or break or pass the ball after the stop. Maybe only one time can succeed, but he put the ball I hit it and wanted to do it again, it was a fool.


    Aldridge wanted to see if Bayern Munich would push the lineup a little bit behind, and weaken the defense to invest in offense.


    As a result, he was disappointed. The tactical qualities of the German team were unquestionable. Bayern Munich''s advantage in the Bundesliga also allowed them to prepare for the game with all their strength. There was no problem with their physical fitness. Even if they were one goal behind, the defense was still intact.


    The goal did not seem to have any impact on the game. The two sides were still in a fierce confrontation in the midfield. At this time, the competition was willpower. Although Millwall took the lead, if he was slack in thought, he would be Opponent seizes the opportunity, if Bayern Munich is discouraged or the tactical thinking is not unified, and there is a flaw in the hand link, then Millwall can take advantage of the victory to expand the victory.


    Time goes by one minute and one second. At this point, it is more stable than who is more concentrated. Once the opponent makes a mistake, it will bring irreparable consequences.


    Basler made a long shot from outside the penalty area, but Bout bravely blocked the ball!


    "Basler suddenly shouted a cold arrow. Bute, who is also a German, rejected the shot of his compatriots. The angle of this foot ball is exactly the same as that of Nedvide''s goal. They all ran away from the corner of the goal, but Bath. Le''s shooting power is lacking, otherwise it is hard to say if Bout can save."


    Three minutes later, Ronaldinho swam to the middle in the frontcourt, catching a shot in front of Jeremy Mays, and also hit a long shot with a very high quality. Kahn also rejected this long shot from the door. .


    Ronaldinho sighed in the sky, this was his fourth shot in the field hit the frame of the shot was rejected by Kahn.


    "Today, the goalkeepers of both teams performed exceptionally well. Bayern Munich hit the goal frame with a seven-foot shot and all were successfully resolved by Bout. Millwall made an 11-foot shot within the door frame. Kahn successfully saved ten times, the only one who failed to save What succeeded was Nedved¡¯s goal, and that goal could not be helped by any goalkeeper."


    "I think this is related to the fact that the two teams cannot penetrate into the dangerous area of ??the penalty area to form a shot. Most of their shots are outside the penalty area. Although the shots are all good, but the distance is long, the reaction time for the goalkeeper is longer, but it is undeniable that the two The German goalkeeper is the focus of this game."


    Even in the last 5 minutes of the game, the speed of Bayern Munich players has not decreased.


    Aldrich felt emotionally, and now the German team with the German steel tank on his head, if there are physical problems, it is a joke.


    However, this is also balanced. Ten years later, the German national team is full of talent and aura, but it is a little softer on the visual sense. Don¡¯t say that the spirit of the key battles shows that even the physical performance is criticized. 70-80 minutes can''t run, which is obviously different from the current German team.


    Of course, this kind of change cannot be blamed. If a team is both blood-bound and romantic, this is unlikely.


    In the last minute of injury stoppage time, Larson unexpectedly took the ball over Lizarazu on the right and made a strong cross after breaking through.


    Kahn didn''t move on the goal line and dared not attack hurriedly. For Millwall, happiness came too suddenly. Ronaldinho made a slow start after outsourcing. He shoveled out and tried to hit the ball with a shot. When he scored, he was a little bit worse, watching the ball slide across his toes, and was surprised that Kahn and Bayern will sweat.


    "Ronaldinho was lying on the ground with his face covered, and was annoyed that he missed this great opportunity. The referee blew the whistle at the end of the match. The defending champion was today at home 1:0 Lectra Bundesliga Bayern Munich, It laid a solid foundation for the second consecutive year to enter the finals. Think of them in the knockout game last year. They beat Juventus 2-1 at home and tied 0-0 with Monaco. Obviously, today¡¯s 1:0 is better than last year. The first-round record when facing a strong enemy is better. Whether Millwall can enter the Camp Nou, at least they have the first chance."


    At the end of the game, Aldridge walked to shake hands with Heathfield. Bayern players hurried out. It is not time to exchange jerseys. They may only communicate with their opponents when the final result comes out in the next round.


    Millwall players thanked the fans in the stands on the sidelines, and Aldridge walked to the post-match press conference.


    Fleet Street is proud and proud of today¡¯s Millwall¡¯s victory. Millwall has swept powerful enemies in the country in recent years and also defeated Barcelona, ??Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Juventus, Monaco, Paris Saint-Germain, etc. in the European War. In the Bundesliga team, only Dortmund met in the tasteless European Super Cup. Today''s victory over Bayern Munich in Wembley, Millwall is not as simple as taking the lead in the final?


    They have declared their status to Europe, and this is proved by the results of a series of powerful dialogues.


    In the end, how long will it take for Millwall to raise his head and head over to Europe, proclaiming that he has become a giant from a strong team? !


    "Aldridge, congratulations to you and your team. Today''s victory is very valuable to Millwall. Can you comment on the performance of both sides in this game?"


    David Miller of The Times first congratulated Aldridge.


    Aldridge said calmly: "As you can see, this is a high-level game, there are not many goals, only one, but if you are an audience, you will forget the time when watching the game, and even hope that the game will be This has been going on, and there has been suspense. In this game, Millwall and Bayern Munich have played a very high technical and tactical level. We are restricting our opponents on both sides of the offense and defense, but after being restricted, we will make changes and seek changes. The method of the battle, and then the two sides found new ways to restrict each other. We are tit-for-tat, like a cat-and-mouse game. In the process of continuous change, the game has shown a rich and exciting confrontation."


    "But Bayern Munich eventually lost the game, and the two sides combined have more than 30 shots. It seems that the mutual restriction between the two sides has not been the best."


    Richard of the "Daily Mail" asked questioningly, and David Miller shook his head slightly, thinking he had a slightly shallow question.


    Aldridge replied seriously: "If you look at the data, you will think that this is a game of offense. Both sides have very low ability to seize the opportunity. Only more than 30 shots scored a goal. In fact, it is not the case. Both teams There is no way to get a great chance. Under limited circumstances, no one can get 50%, 40%, 30%. Such a shooting opportunity can only be hoped for a better shooting ability on the last blow. So usually the goal is chosen when there may be only 10% of the confidence, and the goalkeepers of the two teams are very stable. As for Millwall¡¯s final victory, Nedved¡¯s goal can be seen by everyone, I I believe that fans will talk about it for a long time in the future, but the chance of shooting is actually the same as that of Basler''s long-range shot, Effenberg¡¯s push shot on the left side outside the penalty area, etc. The difference It¡¯s just that at that moment, Nedved showed a goal that surpassed the world-class shooter. I will praise his goal, but I will not blindly think that Millwall will definitely score again after 10 such opportunities."


    "So do you think 0:0 should be the most reasonable result?"


    "Of course not. The two teams are equal. Millwall''s fighting spirit and performance in the game are satisfactory to me. If the score is 0:0, I can still accept it, but Nedved scored such a wonderful world wave. , Which surprises me and the fans. It is difficult to describe it on the football field with reasonable words, because sometimes the result of the game is unreasonable. Some teams do not score a goal with 30 feet. Some teams I scored a goal in 90 minutes but got the victory. I wouldn¡¯t think about whether the score of 1:0 is reasonable. My players performed well. From the first second to the last second, we maintained a high fighting spirit. We deserved to win. Let¡¯s focus on the future, that¡¯s it.¡±


    Aldridge led Millwall at home 1:0 Lectra Bayern Munich''s report became the focus of the British football news the next day, the outside world is also full of expectations for Manchester United, they play a day later, everyone expects Manchester United to play against Juventus Si Shi got a good first-round result and then met with Camp Nou Camp Millwall.

 Chapter 397： The troubled Premier League

    The next night, Old Trafford.


    Aldrich''s suit and leather shoes are sitting on the stands, and beside him is Boas, who is as young as him.


    The first leg of the Champions League semi-finals between Manchester United and Juventus is about to start.


    When the live television camera spotted Aldridge in the stands, it quickly caught the attention of the speaker.


    Andy Gray even said with a smile: "Hall seems confident about the result of defeating Bayern Munich 1-0. Now he comes to check the status of the opponents in the finals. Oh, think about it too. Yesterday''s semi-final results, Juventus had a better result than they faced Monaco in the past. They swept away from Dortmund on their last trip to Germany, and in the second leg of the Munich Olympic Stadium, Hall clearly won.


    Aldrich appeared in the stands to watch the game in person, but it was not to check the opponents in the finals. That was too far away. Whether the Bayern Munich pass can be passed, the suspense still exists.


    But he did come to observe Manchester United. He needs to make a bold decision: whether to send a substitute in the FA Cup semi-final.


    The FA Cup semi-final takes place in the middle of the league after the first round of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals. It is a great test for the physical strength of the main lineup. Now that the three-line championship is over, Audridge needs to do it in the platoon formation. More nuanced.


    When the game started, just one hour away in Liverpool, Melanie¡¯s house, her brother watched the game while cursing Manchester United losing and found that Aldridge was approaching Old Trafford, so he went upstairs. Shouted: "Sister, Aldridge is in Manchester."


    Melanie, who is expected to be born in less than three months, appeared on the stairs of the second floor, overlooking the hall on the first floor, and asked in surprise: "Did he call you?"


    "No, he was watching Manchester United on Old Trafford on TV."


    Melanie suddenly turned her head into the room and slammed the door.


    It was less than an hour''s drive away, and Aldridge didn''t even visit her, which made her very sad.


    But the two are still in the Cold War, no one has offered to compromise, and Melanie has no reason to blame Aldridge.


    Boas was sitting next to Aldridge and constantly asked questions about the game. Aldridge patiently communicated with him. At Old Trafford, Manchester United took the lead in conceding the ball. Conte¡¯s shock hit the heart of all Red Devils fans. Was hit hard.


    "Man United''s situation is not good."


    Boaz made such a sigh.


    Aldridge did not change his face and said: "When the Ferguson-trained Red Devils have reached their peak, the average age is the golden stage of a team, the experience accumulated in high-level competitions, the team is fully mature Degree, what is the most terrible? Do you know?"


    Boas asked curiously: "What?"


    "Magic! Spiritual tenacity! This is far more important than paper strength. There are many star-studded teams that have become scattered after the first ball is lost, but you see Manchester United, they have never had signs of retreat. In the undefeated journey of nearly two months with more wins and fewer draws, Manchester United¡¯s stability is stifling.


    To put it bluntly, it is mental temperament, and it is also the most headache thing for Aldridge every season.


    Millwall has old people leaving every year and new people coming, especially young players. To train young players'' technical and tactical skills, this can be done slowly, but the cultivation of spiritual temperament is very difficult. Fortunately, he has Ned Wade, Southgate, and Larsson are the three captains. He can hardly imagine that if they have not stayed in the team for these years, even if he has more young geniuses, I am afraid he can¡¯t fight. tough battle!


    At Old Trafford, Manchester United only tied the score with Giggs'' goal in the 91st minute of the game. The first round got a 1:1 result at home.


    Although Juventus took over Lippi''s Ancelotti, although he was disappointed with the goal, it was not enough to see that he was still very happy. Not only did he not lose in the first round, he also scored an away goal and Juventus entered The prospects for the final are very optimistic.


    When Manchester United''s game ended, Fleet Street''s tone changed immediately. Seeing the decline of Manchester United and slamming Millwall, both Premier League teams played first at home. Manchester United tied and Millwall won. It seems that Millwall reached the final. Hope is greater, and the voice of the civil war in England has gradually diminished.


    On the weekend, the 33rd round of the Premier League kicked off, and Audridge led the main lineup to attack, guest challenge to Martin O''Neill''s Leicester City.


    Martin O''Neill and Aldrich are private friends, but on the court, the two are ruthless.


    Under the leadership of Leicester City, he unfortunately lost to Tottenham in the League Cup finals this season, but in the standings, they still have the opportunity to win tickets for the UEFA Cup. Martin O¡¯Neill still continues the tradition and let his The team played a defensive counterattack at home.


    Millwall was underperformed by the UEFA Champions League and Bayern Munich in the middle of the week and underperformed. In the end, the two teams made a 0-0 handshake.


    Aldridge still maintained his demeanor and shook hands with O''Neill after the game.


    Both are actually a little unhappy.


    Because everyone wants to win.


    In the same round of the league, Millwall harvested good news and bad news.


    Manchester United are also affected by the European War. The weekend league away game was tied by Blackburn, who is determined to relegate. The score is also 0:0. Millwall''s advantage over Manchester United is still 2 points.


    However, Chelsea and Arsenal both won in the same city derby.


    Chelsea beat Wimbledon 2-1 on the road.


    Arsenal triumph 3-1 at White Hart Lane!


    The situation in the Premier League is unpredictable.


    Millwall leads Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal with 2 points!


    With 5 rounds left in the league, who dares to say that Millwall is the biggest favourite to win? They also have to talk directly with Chelsea and Arsenal. The only good factor is that they have the advantage of sitting at home, but they also have to take into account the European war!


    Fleet Street is going crazy!


    In this country''s most watched football game, such a chaotic situation in the top league affects the nerves of countless people. They do media, even if they only report some trivial matters every day, the newspaper will sell.


    Surprisingly, the coaches of the top four teams seem to be invisible to the championship situation, and they all kept a low profile.


    No one tried to put pressure on the opponent, and the sword and sword were not visible in public opinion.


    The reason is simple. The two tigers fight, the opponent is clear, the top four fight for hegemony, Audridge or Ferguson, even Wenger and Viali, who are they fighting psychologically?


    At this time, it is not the situation of who beats anyone down.


    Like Ferguson''s collapse of Keegan''s mental collapse, Newcastle United eventually collapsed. Now, who exactly does Ferguson expect?


    Now it¡¯s time to do your own best, and let your team devote yourself to the game to avoid making mistakes.


    Who is more stable now.


    The wrong team will fall behind, and the penalty may be fatal.


    Next season, the Champions League will expand to the top 32, with only 3 places in the Premier League. In the top four, who the **** would like to play in the UEFA Cup.


    But Ferguson still bombarded in front of the media, not the opponent, but the FA.


    The FA has placed Millwall and Manchester United''s FA Cup semi-final at the home of Leeds United, Elland Road Stadium.


    Ferguson''s Thunder was furious, thinking it was the FA''s partial help to Millwall.


    Perhaps in terms of popularity support and geographical factors, Millwall is considered a neutral stand, and there are no positive factors.


    But running to Yorkshire was extremely difficult for Manchester United.


    The hatreds of Leeds United and Manchester United are well known, and this hatred does not originate in football. The root is the **** war between Lancashire and Yorkshire that fought for the throne hundreds of years ago. This hatred has continued, and Opposition in various fields is not just in football.


    No matter how Ferguson criticized the FA, or even issued a ticket by the FA, the game still has to proceed as usual.


    This season has reached the final stage. The game will see one less game, and Millwall and Manchester United have the hope of winning the third line. Therefore, the game of the two teams, no matter who the opponent is, will be a hard-to-find scene. What''s more, the two teams played directly. After a game, a team was destined to bid farewell to a front.


    At Elland Road Stadium, Millwall''s starting lineup came out, everyone was shocked!


    Manchester United sent most of the main force, and the frontline attack group is not bad.


    Millwall sent a full replacement!


    Goalkeeper: Keller.


    Guards: Mills, Ferdinand, Neal, Ashley Cole.


    Midfielders: Grenchar, Gattuso, Lampard, Duff.


    Forwards: Klose, Van Nistelrooy.


    Just looking at the tactical characteristics of both sides, the two teams are very similar, both playing 442.


    Whether it is the configuration of one attack and one defense in the midfield, the role of a sudden pass on the side, or the partner of the double forward, it is almost the same.


    However, in terms of attitude, Millwall sent a substitute, which is mainly defensive counterattack, let Manchester United attack.


    Aldridge and Ferguson, the two described by Fleet Street as "unmatched players", stood on the sidelines to oversee the battle.


    Ferguson couldn''t figure out what the **** Aldridge was doing!


    According to the situation, Millwall is definitely better than Manchester United.


    The Champions League won the first round and the team''s fighting spirit was high. Although the league was tied, Manchester United was also tied, and Millwall is still the leader.


    Manchester United went all out in this game, but Millwall seemed to have the urge to give up.


    Maybe not, wasn''t Arsenal upset by this team at home?


    Aldridge dared to take the full bench, and his courage and courage were appreciated by the outside world.


    But if he loses the semi-finals, it is estimated that he will be sprayed into a stupid cap.


    His thinking was clear.


    If the full main force is used, it will not be conducive to the next continuous multi-line battle. The main players have played two consecutive games in the past week. At this time, physical fitness must be allocated reasonably.


    Secondly, if Millwall is in a strong attack, Manchester United will at least tend to balance in the offensive and defensive system. In that case, the game may become a fierce strangling like Bayern.


    And Manchester United suffered two consecutive draws in a row, and their heart was frustrated. The unfavorable situation in the first leg of the Champions League will distract them. With the stimulation of Millwall''s dispatch of the bench, they will inevitably attack.


    The essence of Millwall''s bench formation 442 system is to counterattack instead of advancing layer by layer in frontal positions.


    Manchester United really attacked as soon as they came up Elland Road, probably wanting to score early to take the lead, and then save their energy consumption opponents, in exchange for the biggest victory at the smallest cost.


    Aldridge stood on the sidelines and watched the line of defense sway, the black wind and double-sharp performance were active, and he was still breathless.


    Ferdinand, Mills, and the two defenders have made very obvious progress this season. They are becoming more and more popular, allowing them to withstand more high-level strikers, which can accelerate their growth.


    This game is also needed by Gattuso, Lampard.


    In the opening 20 minutes, Manchester United''s combination of rushing and hanging tactics did not achieve good results. The offensive was played with thunder and heavy rain, and it only blossomed and did not bear fruit.


    Beckham''s passing ball is now called the master class.


    Because his cross is no longer looking for a striker''s head, but directly leading the striker to break the goal!


    But Ferdinand and Neal''s double-half defense is very stable. Compressing the defense in the penalty area does not give the opponent any chance. Especially Ferdinand is in a good condition today.


    Seeing that the team can withstand the offensive pressure of Manchester United, Aldridge showed appreciation on the sidelines, and then his eyes became more severe.

 Chapter 398： Triple Crown is in sight

    In this FA Cup semi-final, Millwall and Manchester United actually had the same idea. The battle was resolved within 90 minutes. In the semi-final, a single game was won. Overtime in 90 minutes was tied, instead of a rematch.


    Neither team wants to drag the game into overtime, even if Millwall plays off the bench.


    There will be a loss for a long time, Manchester United is like this.


    They attacked wildly for 30 minutes, but the goal was not scored, but Millwall seized the opportunity in the 32nd minute.


    Neil scored a big goal in the backcourt and was snatched by Klose''s back. Then he knocked back on the back flank. Glenn Carre started full speed to catch the ball. After touching the ball, he rushed directly along the wing and came in Bart. When defending him, he knocked the ball horizontally, Lampard inserted the ball and kicked the ball again. The ball returned to Klose''s feet. He did not stop the ball. He pushed the foot and pushed the ball diagonally behind his back.


    Fanny was in line with Stam, but this ball Stam was going to turn around, but he was accelerating head-on. After successfully counter-offside, after taking the ball and calmly pushing the goal into the corner, Schmeichel fell to the ground and saved nothing.


    Millwall leads Manchester United 1-0.


    "Fan Nistelrooy scored and Millwall opened the record!"


    Fans who came to Elland Road Stadium to cheer for the crazy lions cheered up and down, and now there is a voice calling the Triple Crown slogan!


    As long as Millwall defeats Manchester United today, the prospects are good!


    Ferguson''s face was green on the sidelines.


    He realized that maybe he and Wenger had made the same mistake.


    They were all confused by Millwall''s dispatch of substitutes.


    Even as a substitute, Millwall¡¯s players are also very powerful, enough to fight in one battle. In particular, Aldridge has built a defensive counterattack tactics tailored for them, to ensure the record with a stable defense, if it is a big offensive football, then It may be beaten by a strong team.


    Ferguson scolded a dirty word in his heart.


    Damn, Fanny should be dug to Manchester United earlier!


    Watching Fanny celebrating after scoring a goal, Ferguson was both envious and annoyed at Aldridge.


    Such a good striker can''t even play the main role in Millwall!


    If Manchester United had lured Fannie before this season broke out, maybe Ferguson would really succeed. Now, if there is no main position, Fannie would rather play at Millwall. At least as long as he plays, he is very comfortable playing. , Look at Klose''s assists, and he is really intimate.


    Aldridge was also struggling with Fanny.


    In the absence of injuries, Fanny can only play off the bench.


    As Fanny grew older, his demand for the main position became stronger and stronger.


    Keep it, worrying that he will abuse himself.


    Don''t stay, who will sell it to?


    Fannie, the midstream and downstream team, can''t look down on it. Aldridge hopes that a wealthy club abroad can take Fanny away, so that he will not abuse him in the future.


    Vieira, Pires, Stam, Tony, Goodjohnson and other players left Millwall to continue to play in the Premier League, which in a sense caused trouble to Millwall.


    After losing the ball, Ferguson gave instructions to his disciples.


    The attack must still continue to attack, otherwise give up the game?


    However, the offensive and defensive system must be balanced, and cannot be caught flat-footed because of an over-attack, as they just lost the ball. Just like they played Arsenal, once the opponents are given a large amount of counterattack space, then the two sides and the midfield suddenly accelerate. Hitting the ground to pass the cut can''t prevent it at all.


    After the adjustment of Manchester United, the pace of the game slowed down slightly, and the Red Devils steadily played in the middle and frontcourt to accumulate advantages.


    But Millwall''s defense is solid and he doesn''t give the opponent any chance.


    In the first half, Millwall walked into the locker room with a 1-0 lead.


    Aldridge praised the team''s performance and told them to continue to cheer in the second half.


    Before walking out of the locker room, the team shouted "Kill Manchester United" to boost morale...


    Aldridge happened to meet Ferguson in the player channel. Ferguson said a little dissatisfiedly: "Is Millwall learning to play Arsenal? Is your traditional 433?"


    Aldridge smiled, indeed, Millwall''s 433 power in the season when he won the league title in 1997, and now the main lineup is also playing 433, the outside world seems to have labeled Millwall with 433.


    Aldridge walked side by side with Ferguson and raised an eyebrow: "I played 442 when I first coached the team in 1994. When I played anti-anti, Arsenal was still playing 5 guards. Wenger just went to Japan. What does my team learn from Arsenal?"


    Ferguson murmured: "Your Premier League debut in 1995 did indeed play 442 at Old Trafford, but was the 442 at that time the same as the current 442? At that time, you were like a people''s warrior defending peace. What''s it like? It''s like a man who has had a **** cut off.


    Aldridge burst into tears with a smile.


    I have to say that 442 is just a formation, the key is how to arrange tactics.


    Like their backup lineup and Arsenal''s midfield contraction and retreat to advance quickly in the counterattack, it is indeed a bit tedious.


    "Playing like this, the record is guaranteed, how much less have Arsenal''s goals conceded so far than Manchester United? Almost 20!"


    "But Manchester United have 20 more goals than Arsenal!"


    "You have the same league points, you really have the confidence to attack Arsenal?"


    Ferguson was silent.


    After the two walked out of the player''s tunnel and separated, Ferguson suddenly turned his head and stared at Audridge with fierceness.


    Damn, I attacked Millwall''s tactics today!


    Aldrich, cunningly heinous, changed the concept by stealing the concept!


    With a good mood on the sidelines, Aldridge found that Manchester United still had no trouble in the second half.


    This is commendable. In his view, the team is not strong. How many goals are followed and how many goals are thrown are not directly related. Instead, in a backward adversity, the team¡¯s posture is the standard for intuitively reflecting strength.


    Elland Road Stadium seems to have attracted a lot of local fans because of the loud singing from the stands.


    "There is only one team (Thereisonlyoneuntied)."


    This is a song that both Manchester United and Leeds fans will sing, and their hostility points directly at each other.


    Aldridge looked around the stadium, and it seemed that Millwall did take a bit of the advantage.


    However, he felt that this group of Leeds fans were helping to see the game!


    This singing voice passed into the ears of Manchester United players, it is completely adrenaline to stimulate the opponent!


    Manchester United really jumped up, but with one shot at a time, Beckham''s pass was good, but Ferdinand and Neil were completely prevented from falling, and Scholes'' long shot always returned without success.


    Time passed by minute by minute.


    Aldridge replaced Duff in the 75th minute of the second half to allow Van der Meade to play.


    It seems that Millwall will defend a small victory and then advance to the final.


    But in the 88th minute of the game, Giggs stood out. He dunked the ball on the left, swayed Lampard, and then avoided Mills''s grab. The rhythm was completed in a hurry. Stop changing and break through Ferdinand, who was distracted by Cole''s forward insertion. At a small angle, he volleyed and broke the goal!


    "Giggs'' personal performance! He scored the ball after connecting three people. It was a wonderful goal. Giggs, he saved Manchester United!"


    Aldridge smiled helplessly when he saw the lost ball, clapping his palms to make the players cheer up and continue the game.


    The goal of Giggs is similar to that of Nedved in the Champions League super world wave, and it is almost impossible to replicate. It is like Maradona has five players. This kind of performance is a flash of performance on the spot, especially The choice of breakthrough, every change of direction, acceleration, spiking, getting rid of, etc. are almost subconscious, and also need the cooperation of opponents, let Giggs repeat 10 times, may not be able to score another goal .


    Aldridge is not lost. Although he doesn¡¯t want to play overtime, if he wants to fight, then he will fight. The longer the time, the worse for Manchester United, especially for the league and the Champions League.


    Ferguson is also applauding Giggs'' goal.


    However, he was only happy for less than a minute.


    Millwall reopened the ball, Manchester United pressured up, and Millwall fell calmly. Van der Mede received a pass from Lampard on the wing and passed it straight to Klose in front.


    Klose stopped the ball and turned directly past Bart. Bart had a problem with his position and did not cling to Klose. At the same time, he subconsciously grabbed the ball when the opponent received the ball. Klose turned around and obliterated him.


    Klose forwarded the ball to observe Van Nistelrooy''s running position. Stam and Johnson guarded Fanny strictly. They both thought Klose would pass the ball. In the previous time, Klose Ze almost does this.


    But when he realized that no one was robbing himself, Klose dribbled the ball himself, and rushed past between Stam and Johnson.


    The two of them were stunned.


    The sudden acceleration of this big tall was really not slow. Johnson turned around and didn''t catch up. Klose shot through Schmeichel''s ten fingers.


    "Lore! Millwall scored another goal less than 1 minute after Manchester United scored, 2:1, Klose lore Manchester United! What is Manchester United''s back line doing? Bart, Stam, Johnson, three One of them was easily passed. The two central defenders almost watched Klose into the penalty area and broke the goal. What are they thinking? Don¡¯t want to play overtime?"


    Klose rushed to the sidelines to celebrate after a goal.


    Aldridge was also ignorant.


    He is well prepared to make substitutions for overtime and wants Pedretti to play for Glenchard.


    This goal was so unexpected that Aldridge looked slightly surprised.


    After recovering, he still made substitutions. This substitution was to delay time and strengthen defense.


    But Pedretti came on to replace Klose.


    Ferguson''s face was as black as carbon.


    This fuck, Klose''s goal made Giggs'' goal worthless.


    How did it happen?


    Why does Millwall have so many good forwards?


    Look at that German big man''s technical ability is good, especially the teamwork consciousness is commendable, the breakthrough into the restricted area just now is clean and neat.


    Millwall front has no worries for ten years!


    Ferguson cursed Aldridge in his heart while making his disciples work hard to score another goal.


    It''s really strange that Millwall is not a giant, but they are at least more comfortable and comfortable in their choice of players.


    Manchester United failed to score a second goal at the last moment. Beckham tried to drive a long shot at the last moment to turn the tide, but the ball missed the post and ended the game.


    "Millwall beat Manchester United 2-1 in the FA Cup semi-finals. They entered the final and will compete with Newcastle United for the FA Cup title this season. They will lead the league and take the lead in the UEFA Champions League final. The FA With the Cup reaching the finals, Millwall fans can imagine the dream of the Triple Crown. If Millwall can accomplish this great cause, there is no doubt that they will become the most successful club in single season in English history!"

 Chapter 399： Psychological battle succeeds

    After defeating Manchester United in the FA Cup semi-finals and advancing to the final, the British media''s call for Millwall to win the Triple Crown is getting higher and higher.


    The season has reached the final stage, looking at all Europe, there are only two teams left to hope to impact the Triple Crown, one is Millwall, and the other is Bayern Munich.


    Millwall won the Triple Crown two years ago, but the European Champion at that time was the European Winners Cup inferior to the Champions League. The outside world believes that this year is a good time for Millwall to hit a new peak. If this feat can be completed , Aldridge Hall will be among the legendary coaches.


    In the past, Aldridge must pay close attention to the mentality of the team, but now it is unnecessary.


    For players like Ronaldinho who will suddenly have ups and downs, the big brothers on the team are his best tranquilizers.


    Larson, Nedved, Southgate all played very calmly.


    During training breaks, they will sit on the sidelines and share their experiences with young players.


    They have made quick gains on the road to hunger for honor, and have tasted the loss of defeat. What they can¡¯t forget is the season when they first entered the Premier League. In the final stage of the league, people now only remember Manchester United¡¯s big reversal of Newcastle United, but only Fans and fans of the crazy lion will never forget that when they had the initiative to win the championship, they were even better than Manchester United, but they collapsed after losing their calmness in continuous combat.


    The big brothers who were full of honor talked about their experiences at that time, but they were able to maintain their mentality about the same situation after that because of the experience.


    The advice to young players is simple: forget everything, train normally, play seriously, suppress all the excitement that you are looking forward to, and wait until the end of the season to release it.


    Millwall is going to Munich next week, so in the weekend league, Aldridge still sent off the bench, although they just played with Manchester United in the middle of the week.


    At the pre-match press conference, Aldridge played another psychological battle.


    "I am more concerned about playing against Bayern Munich in the second round, Derbyshire? They want to win tickets for the UEFA Cup next season? Really? I am not interested in this, it is a war on another land of the Premier League, I The bench player has beaten Arsenal, beat Manchester United, what will Derby County do at my home? Ha ha, I can already guess how the game will develop, Derby County has a 10-0-0 formation , Using a human wall to block the penalty area, and then their minds fantasized about taking a point away at the end of the game. Does it make sense for such a team to play for the UEFA Cup on behalf of England? In particular, even if they take one from the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium What''s the point? The difference between Middlesbrough and Leicester City and their points is within 3 points, can they do so to improve their rankings? I''m afraid they can''t even hold the eighth position now, let alone exceed Aston Villa and Liverpool."


    Aldridge''s remarks before the game completely angered Derby County. Players from the coach to the team expressed their desire to **** Millwall at the Lion''s Cave Stadium.


    This may be the easiest game for Millwall in the last five rounds of the Premier League. There is also a game with the relegation team Everton. Because of the guest factor, it is more difficult. Derbyshire is more difficult.


    Derbyshire ranked sixth in the standings after winning the match against Liverpool a month ago. Not only did they relegate early, they suddenly found that they had a chance to enter the European Championship, so their mentality changed, and then they lost vigorously at home. The Newcastle United team behind them ranked 3:4.


    Then they lost to Manchester United and Leeds United. After three straight defeats, they defeated Nottingham Forest in the last round and almost declared their relegation at home.


    In general, there is hope to recapture the League Cup tickets, so Aldrich chose to provoke them at this time, not only in public opinion, but also in platoon formation, he sent a bench, which is seen from the outside. Coming is a kind of contempt. Unlike Manchester United and Arsenal in the cup, losing is not the final, and once the chain is lost at this stage of the league, the entire team''s efforts will be lost.


    Aldridge was frivolous at the press conference, no one in sight.


    But in the pre-match meeting, he was a different face to the players.


    He attaches great importance to this game and has very high requirements for tactical discipline.


    Anti-anti, anti-anti, anti-anti!


    No player is allowed to be taken lightly.


    Relatively speaking, if this soft persimmon is not crushed, the latter situation is really very unfavorable.


    Before the start of the game, Aldridge tried to shake hands with the Derby County coach. As the host, he did all the friendship of the landlord, but the other side ignored him with a cold face.


    He didn''t care, and he was very happy.


    The other party is angry, this sign is very good!


    He is not afraid of an opponent who is emotional, as long as his emotions are shown, he will be calm in his heart.


    But he is most afraid of his opponent who doesn''t change his face and calm down as if he wants to become an immortal. For example, Lippi last year, Heathfield who just played, you can''t guess what the other person is thinking!


    Less than three minutes from the start of the game, Derbyshire looked like an anti-guest from the start, and came to the Lion''s Cave Stadium to score three points!


    As a result, Glenn Charles hit two people in the counterattack, and the individual broke through the opponent¡¯s last defensive player to face the attacking goalkeeper and knocked the ball to the unmarked Van Nistelrooy, who easily pushed the empty goal. succeed.


    "Fannistrui! Van Nistelrooy scored 17 goals in the league. This is a season that promises to win the Premier League Golden Boots! It is simply incredible. He scored 10 goals as the main force in the first half of the season. In the second half of the season, he was better in limited appearances and scored frequently. Now he is no longer the main force. There are still four leagues in the back. Maybe he does not have many chances to appear, so he must grasp every time Opportunity, expand your own goals! Uh, the number one killer in the Premier League¡¯s top scorer list can¡¯t beat Millwall. Hall¡¯s team is incredible.¡±


    The Derby County coach was sullen and roared at the players, making them work hard to reverse their opponents.


    Damn, it''s a full substitute on the opposite side!


    Aldridge was very relaxed, sitting on the coach seat and chatting with Klinsmann.


    He is really suspicious, just to show the opponent coach.


    Lao Tzu chats with colleagues and laughs and wins you!


    Annoyed? Anger?


    Then abuse my team on the court!


    This is destined to be a game that Derbyshire does not want to remember, and it is also a classic psychological battle that Aldridge has been talking about in the long-term coaching career of fanatic fans.


    When the game was over, Derbyshire lost everything from coach to player.


    Lost, not many people optimistic about them before the game.


    However, a record loss of 0:8 on the road, the score will pin them on the stigma of shame for thousands of years.


    In the first half, Fanny finished the hat trick. Derby County attacked madly. He was hit by Millwall''s counterattack. Glenn Carr played hi. Watching this game alone, no Few viewers thought that this Danish golden wing was the possession of the king of the ball, and every long-distance attack made people warm.


    In the second half, Derby County started frequent fouls, shoveled Gattuso, and injured VanderMead, paying two red cards and losing three consecutive goals in the last 10 minutes of the second half.


    Duff scored twice off the bench. The commentator lamented that Duff was like Manchester United¡¯s Solskjaer. In the last 10 minutes of the game with Nottingham Forest, he scored 4 goals and Solskjaer also from Milwaukee. Leir left, the final score of that game was 8:1, Manchester United beat wildly, Millwall swept Derbyshire today, 8:0 is also the game of the biggest score gap in the Premier League this season.


    In this game, Fannie, who was a senior, took away the game ball, and then let him send the assisted Glenn Charles, the injured left van der Meade, and also scored and assisted in the hat trick Klose in the ball Sign and name.


    He held the ball and was interviewed by reporters in the player channel.


    "Rud, congratulations, you have scored 20 league goals so far, and you have at least 4 goals from the player behind the scorer list. Are you satisfied with your performance?"


    Fanny replied with a smile: "It''s not bad today, especially the shooting feels good. I want to thank my teammates, who gave me assists selflessly is the key to my goal."


    Everyone with a discerning eye can see that everyone in this game is more active in giving Fannie a ball, and Glenn Charles has two single-handedly facing the goalkeeper who made the ball to Fannie.


    "You are the striker with the most goals in Millwall''s league, but you have to sit on the bench in important matches. Have you communicated with Coach Hall? Why did he not trust you in the key battles? "


    The smile on Fanny''s face disappeared and became silent. Then he shook his head and turned away without answering the question. His back gave the outside world unlimited imagination.


    Does he communicate with Aldridge?


    Yes, but not many.


    Because it is not necessary.


    He does not need to prove to Aldridge whether he can score a goal, his personal ability is affirmed in the team, but he is out of step with the attacking group of the main lineup.


    At this point, Fanny knew that Aldridge would not sacrifice the scoring ability of Larson, Nedved, and Ronaldinho to build a super shooter Van Nistelrooy.


    When Manchester United¡¯s interest in Fanny appeared, Fanny talked with Audridge, and he probably guessed Audridge¡¯s attitude.


    Millwall will not show his utmost sincerity to retain him.


    This sincerity is not money, but the main commitment.


    He has made plans to let Andrew help him to contact his home after the season, but as a forward who averages about 1 goal per game in a single season, his value is unbearable for more than half of the first-tier clubs, and he still has to find It''s difficult for a club that suits him and makes him stand out.


    At the end of the same round, Manchester United defeated Xie Wednesday 3-0 at home and Arsenal swept Wimbledon 5:1 in the same city derby.


    Chelsea, off the chain.


    Leicester City led by Martin O''Neal tied Chelsea 2:2 at Stamford Bridge.


    Tony and Goodjohnson each scored a goal, Fleet Street commented that this was Millwall''s strategic sniper against Chelsea...


    At the same time, Leeds United was tied 1:1 by the relegation team Charlton on the road, the theoretical opportunity for the championship disappeared, and the gap with the top four teams almost declared that they could not get the top three rankings, but the theoretical opportunity still exists. Just looking at the result of the next league will not let the suspense disappear, and in the next league, they will be a guest to the Lions Stadium.


    In order to prepare for the second round of the match with Bayern Munich, Aldridge took a rest of the main lineup for almost 8 days. Then, the team boarded a special plane and flew to Munich, Germany, preparing to step on the Olympia Stadium in Munich and play against Bayern Munich!

 Chapter 400： Blitz

    Munich, Olympia Stadium.


    The players of both sides stand in the player channel and wait for their appearance.


    Here they can clearly hear the massive cheers of Bayern fans in the stands.


    The players on both sides are full of spirit and fighting spirit.


    Even Ronaldinho, who often looks like a lot of landslides without changing his face, seems dignified at this moment. Before stepping out of the locker room, he and each teammate gave a high-five to encourage morale.


    The firm eyes reveal the faith to move forward.


    Last season''s Champions League final, Ronaldinho was on the bench, and he only entered the first team in the second half of the season, there are not many opportunities to play.


    This season is not only a season where his real reputation has risen to the attention of the entire European football, but also a season in which his accumulated experience is getting better and better and his ability is advancing by leaps and bounds.


    The Brazilian national team has called him.


    In this game, they are determined to win. As long as they have undefeated results, they will advance to the Camp Nou to play the final battle of the defending European Champions Cup!


    Ronaldinho may not be able to match many prestigious predecessors, but in today''s football, if he can help Millwall defend the Champions League as a main player, then he can''t be said to be a **** of war, at least, he will be affirmed by the football, A firm foothold in the position of first-line star.


    Players from both sides began to enter the stadium, the Champions League theme song echoed in the stadium.


    Aldridge looked serious in front of the coach.


    At the pre-match press conference, he expressed the importance of this game, let the players forget the advantage of 1:0 and concentrate on the wholeheartedly. Only in this way, it is possible to leave Munich with a relaxed and happy mood.


    "In the second round of the 98-99 UEFA Champions League semi-final, a focus battle is about to start at the Munich Olympia Stadium. Bayern Munich sits at home against the defending champion Millwall. In the first round, Bayern Munich was defeated by Nedved The super world wave defeated them, and they were temporarily behind by a total score of 0:1. If they want to advance to the final, then in the next 90 minutes, they must score goals without any retreat, and they will definitely be eliminated without scoring! Wall and Bayern Munich haven¡¯t changed in the first round and the first round. Both teams have sent the strongest lineup. The starting lineup is as follows..."


    The number of crazy Lion fans who came to the Munich Olympics site to support Millwall is about 4,000. With the stable record of the team, newcomers come out, the main lineup plays beautifully in the key battles, and Millwall¡¯s fan base continues to expand. There are also more and more fan organizations, and even fan organizations have formed alliances. Brady''s Roar Fan Organization is the backbone of the frequent coordination of various fan organizations.


    Today they collectively gathered in the stands wearing a crazy lion blue jersey, like a blooming blue rose, the collective singing of more than 4,000 people can vaguely rival the momentum of Bayern Munich home fans.


    This is a great incentive and encouragement for the team to play away.


    Sometimes, under certain circumstances, the players just need the outside to give strength and give them the motivation to persevere and fight, and the support of the fans is the most direct source of power.


    Aldridge''s eyes were bright, and he saw that the Bayern Munich players'' mental state was very different from two weeks ago.


    On the road, they may also exude a sense of fear, but at home, they seem to be all steel fighters, forming a powerful German steel chariot.


    This is the rule on the football field, otherwise what is the difference between home and away?


    Today''s game tactics, Aldridge did not make big changes, 433 changed to 4231, the core offensive routines did not change, the difference is that the winger withdrew more to participate in defense, running back and forth during the offense is a great test for physical fitness, But he trusted Ronaldinho and Larson, a full fighting spirit, a field-tested, is also the mainstay of the team.


    "At the start of the game, Bayern Munich kicked off first. From the opening, we can see that Bayern Munich quickly launched a fast break. Yankel and Elber quickly forwarded and pulled out to meet Basler''s goal. Beautiful interception, Makelele didn¡¯t let Yankel¡¯s pass through his zone. If this ball was jammed, Millwall¡¯s defense would be in danger. Bayern Munich may be a bit impatient for such an attack. Against an opponent like Millwall, the attack It should be more patient!"


    Aldridge was slightly nervous on the sidelines.


    Bayern Munich is like Hitler¡¯s Germans, trying to launch a blitz after the opening!


    This is not a difficult start to guess. One of the advantages of the home and away advantage on the players of the two teams is: If the away team needs 10 minutes to adapt to the strange field and environment to enter the state, then the home team may only need 3 minutes to quickly The best condition is played out.


    At the opening stage, did Millwall enter the state by passing control or destroy the attack to form a fast attack to hit the ball back to relieve the danger?


    Aldridge chose the former. He feels that if he frequently launches fast breaks without entering the best state, the effect will be very unsatisfactory, and it is easy to encounter counterattacks when the offensive player runs forward and the three lines are disconnected.


    Millwall¡¯s players perform the tactical requirements very well. They use the transfer ball to stabilize the military, pass the ball and adapt to the conditions of the field, especially the difference between the length and width of their home field. This is very important in the top contest. It is two or three meters wide, which does not seem to be big. In fact, it is a difference in several positions. There will be details of the defense. The difference in length will also affect the compactness of the formation.


    But when Millwall players are seeking stability and control of the ball, Bayern Munich ventured into the frontcourt to launch a crazy push.


    They know that the opponent must not have entered the state so quickly. As long as they pass the ball, they will have a good chance. Even if they can''t make the opponent''s mistake, they can''t watch the opponent slowly adjust to the best state.


    Millwall attacked with a wave of attack, Henry lost to Mattius in the grab, Pirlo''s over-passing strength was not well grasped, it can not be said that the play was ups and downs, but the offensive opportunity changed from making Henry fight speed It became a fight and grab a position.


    Bayern Munich quickly launched a fast break after blocking Millwall''s successful attack.


    They quickly passed the midfield in today''s blitz, and shot when they found a chance in the frontcourt.


    Basler''s cold shot outside the penalty area was blocked by Materazzi''s foot, reflecting the bottom line.


    Butt was shocked by the cold sweat. He had already made a save and rushed to the right of the goal. Materazzi refracted the ball. If the ball was flying towards the goal, he basically surrendered.


    Bayern Munich corner.


    Basler went to take the penalty, and the backcourt players quickly crowded into the penalty area and did not give Millwall enough time to arm.


    Basler quickly took a corner kick. The quality of this curved ball hanging into the penalty area is very high, but it seems that the landing point is not good. It is the back point of the goal.


    Materazzi stared at Yankel. The two were fighting on the left in front of the goal, but after the ball flew out, Yankel immediately retreated and moved backwards to fight for the landing point. Matera Too much distance from the opponent at the same distance, but still keep up and jump to interfere with the opponent''s header.


    Yankel unexpectedly headed to the other side of the goal!


    This kind of ball is the most difficult to defend. The ball comes from the right, flies to the left, and then is made back from the left to the right.


    The pendulum-like trajectory directly defensive players need to turn around to focus on the development of the ball.


    Southgate stared at Link, and Makelele leaned against Elber, who was about his height.


    Nedved stared closely at Effenberg, and when Basler corner kicked out, Nedved suppressed Effenberg without letting him jump, but when the ball flew back and forth, Yankel Nedvide lost to Effenberg in the position after the header ferry, close to 1m9, the 180-pound Effenberg jumped like a sturdy beast, Ned Vader also jumped and only played a disturbing role, but Effenberg, who was burning with a fierce and fierce light, ignored him, staring at the ball with his eyes open from beginning to end, and then struck the ball fiercely with his head.


    Head shot from close range!


    Bout jumped out and reached out enough, but it was obviously too late...


    "The goal was scored! Bayern Munich took the lead in the opening six minutes. The total score is now 1:1. The two teams are back to the same starting line! Yankel''s header ferry is crucial, and Tiger Effenberg stands out. , He pressured Nedved to head the ball from a close range, this goalkeeper has no way, the distance is too close, and God can''t stop it! Effenberg, a well-deserved leader!"


    Watching Effenberg celebrate with his teammates wildly and passionately, Aldridge''s expression was solemn, but he pressed his hands down and tried to send a message to the players: Hold on, don''t panic!


    Millwall¡¯s players really don¡¯t panic.


    The game just returned to the same starting line.


    Bayern Munich has the advantage of home court, Millwall has the opportunity to score away from home, as long as they score a goal, Bayern will have to beat them in the total score to advance.


    Hessfield celebrated with his fists and arms, and then came out and gave the players a gesture.


    Aldridge''s pupils shrunk, and he looked at the champion coach with a surprised look.


    He naturally couldn''t understand the meaning of Heathfield''s gesture. This gesture, which only Bayern Munich players understand, certainly has no way of knowing its meaning.


    Aldridge''s surprise is that the opponent has just taken the lead and equalized the total score. Is it adjusted so quickly?


    Somehow, he felt a chill in his heart, like a man''s back.


    This game will be more difficult than he thought.


    It turns out that Aldridge''s hunch is correct.


    Bayern Munich did not chase after victory!


    After scoring no more rushing to fight blitz, more offensive in the offense, the defense is not leaking, at their home, they can play better than the first round!


    Millwall players did not panic after losing the ball, and gradually came out of the good state.

 ~： In the rhythm of the first round, every inch of the soil is competing, restricting each other.

    Aldridge saw Heathfield''s calculation.


    The total score was equalized and the two teams returned to the same starting line.


    As long as Bayern Munich does not lose the ball, the passage of time will benefit them. Whether it is physical consumption or mental confrontation, how can Bayern Munich be softer than Millwall in the massive cheering of these tens of thousands of **** fans? !


    The German chariot is to drag the game into the competition of willpower today.


    Perhaps, Heathfield was afraid of Millwall¡¯s gorgeous attack group, so when defending, there must be seven people, four guards Gamatus Scavenger, plus midfielder Jeremys and midfielder Effenberg, These seven people restricted Millwall''s offense. In turn, the amount of troops they could invest in the attack was very limited. If they can create opportunities, especially Millwall''s own mistakes, Bayern Munich will be able to march steadily. Camp Nou.


    Aldridge looked at the situation on the field and was impressed by Heathfield''s old tricks.


    Millwall''s invincible gorgeous attack group, facing such an iron-blooded master, with less play and more, the opportunities that he can create are really limited.

 Chapter 401： Contest of will

    "After Bayern Munich scored a goal, the two sides entered a balanced state. Once the offensive advances to the midfield, they will be blocked by the opponent''s tight defense. The first half of the game is about to end. Bayern Munich and Millwall The score is 1:1 and neither side scored away."


    Aldridge is troubled by the situation today.


    He didn''t expect the team to lose the ball, but he never expected to be scored by his opponent in the opening less than 10 minutes.


    The two teams entered a mutually restricted rhythm, which was more intense and conservative than the first round of confrontation, and even the chance of a long shot rarely gave each other.


    Everyone is afraid!


    Especially for Bayern Munich, if Millwall scored an away goal, they would have to score two more goals, which would be too difficult.


    In fact, Millwall has been passive.


    Dilemma.


    The opposing team does not invest more troops in attacking, nor dare to take it lightly.


    Even if Millwall is conservative to draw the snake out of the hole, Bayern Munich is not fooled.


    At the end of the first half, Aldridge turned into the player''s tunnel.


    The question before him is actually the same as Heathfield.


    Only by scoring again can the opponent be eliminated within the regular time.


    So Millwall alone attacked the group with five players in the frontcourt, and Pirlo did not dare to risk it. The actual players on the front line were four players.


    Bayern Munich only rely on Elber, Yankel, Basler, and Effingberg running around the field, these four people are also difficult to make in front of the Millwall line.


    To score a goal, we must create a better chance. In today''s confrontation situation, we must invest more offensive forces.


    Can invest in offensive forces, then the defense will definitely be weakened.


    Who moves first?


    Aldrich was so worried that he bowed his head and walked forward, almost hitting the wall with his head.


    He was worried that this was Heathfield''s enticement.


    If Millwall is attacking away, the two backs can provide support in the backcourt. Once the back defender is attacked and counterattacked, the defense of the defense is very obvious.


    It''s not yet time for desperation. When it''s time to take a risk, Aldridge can save his life, but the total score is a draw. Millwall hasn''t reached the cliff yet.


    In the locker room, the players are sweating and fighting away, and their physical energy is consumed quickly.


    Ronaldinho was very depressed today. When he met Bayern Munich, he was always suppressed to death. In the last confrontation, he had no highlights except for a few long-range shots. The one-to-one success rate fell linearly compared to the Premier League. , Even in today¡¯s first half, the success rate is 0!


    Babel used his experience and the experience of the last confrontation to completely freeze Ronaldinho today.


    Aldridge has nothing to adjust to tactics. If it was last year¡¯s squad, he can make the team play a bit more tedious, but the current offensive system is to rely on a small range of cooperation. If he lets the team take back some more, maybe the offense Just relying on individual soldiers to fight, it would be self-defeating.


    He stood in the middle of the dressing room, calmly speaking slowly.


    "European Champions Cup, the highest honor of European clubs, all teams, whether grassroots teams or big clubs, have longed for this championship. We won the championship last year, when we encountered many difficulties, But through willpower and faith, we finally won the championship. I don¡¯t want you to think that the championship will come to us actively, every club will give everything to fight for the championship, we are, Bayern Munich too. Today¡¯s game, you are present I can experience the power of Bayern Munich first, what should we do? First, calm down and stay focused. Secondly, you can¡¯t let yourself down in a minute and a second. I hope to see you in the second half Demonstrate the qualities I demand, because I¡¯m sure that players of Bayern Munich, unless they break their legs, they will not stop the pace of running, and will not stop the pursuit of victory. If you want to defeat them, you must be in technical and tactical Beat them in a contest outside!"


    At this level of competition, there is no one who has a clear advantage on the technical and tactical level. If you want to win, you must defeat the opponent in the spiritual level of the competition.


    Most of the players present have deep experience.


    Like the Juventus lore last season, it was the power of the team''s faith that paid off at the last minute.


    The defeat of Monaco to advance to the final is a strategic mistake made by Monaco after getting a good result in the first round. If Monaco can play a little conservatively like Bayern Munich at home, the defense does not leak. What is the final result, who do not know either.


    "Guys, come on in the second half, we fight, we all want to go to the Camp Nou, Bayern Munich also thinks that they won the championship more than 20 years ago, they may be more hungry, but we will tell them by action, we Have a stronger determination to defend!"


    Southgate stood up to inspire the team. Everyone nodded, and their mental outlook was refreshed, as if the fatigue in the first half disappeared.


    Aldridge observed Bayern Munich on the sidelines in the second half.


    If there is any change, then Bayern Munich''s tactical discipline becomes stronger, they are not anxious, and they are steadily frightening.


    Although Bayern Munich Club has been away from the Champions League for more than 20 years, most of their players have international honours. They are experienced and calm, and will not be as imbalanced as Monaco for quick gains and short-term gains.


    "This is a game where the players on both sides are more stable and who makes the mistake first. To be honest, this game is less exciting than the first round. The two teams played for an hour and the combined shot It¡¯s less than 10 times. They put more energy on how to limit their opponents. This is understandable. Millwall has Henry, Larson, Nedved, Ronaldinho and other offenses. A sharp weapon, Bayern Munich also has such terrible players as Elber, Yankel, Basler, and Effenberg. They are afraid of being partially torn apart by the opponent, thus weakening the offensive investment At the same time, this is also the battle between Hall and Heathfield on the field, the two are competing for endurance and mentality, see who is more lethargic, who can''t help making adjustments first, adjust the team at this time, no doubt it will be Gambling may increase the probability of victory, but it also increases the risk of failure."


    The game time passed by one minute and one second, Aldridge still stood on the sidelines, he paced back and forth without anxiety, that would affect the players.


    What medicine does Bayern Munich sell in the gourd?


    In the opening blitz, the effect was received and the game was brought back to the starting point.


    But next, he has been playing defensive counterattacks, the offensive does not speed up, relying on individual soldiers, the cooperation between two or three players can''t penetrate the Millwall defense line, and Millwall passively attacks because the opponent''s defense is stable. Lack of room to move forward, especially Mattus played wonderfully. The match between the offensive player of the one-on-one Millwall and the Bayern Munich defensive player was half a catty, but there was one more Mattus to disrupt the game. He was always able to kill offenses halfway, causing Millwall to repeatedly fail.


    But what about this?


    How did Bayern Munich advance to the final?


    Aldridge didn''t guess Heathfield''s calculation until the end of the regular time of 90 minutes.


    "At the end of the 90-minute game, Bayern Munich and Millwall have a total score of 1:1 and will enter overtime."


    In the first half of overtime, Millwall and Bayern Munich were still inseparable. The physical fitness of both players has reached the limit, but neither side has made substitutions.


    Dare not to change, fearing that the players who are replaced cannot enter the game for the first time, then there will be loopholes in the defense area.


    When the second half of overtime started, Aldridge''s eyes suddenly became fierce.


    Bayern Munich suddenly accelerated, pulling up a mad attack!


    With bilateral defenders, midfielder Effenberg, Basler plus Matteus, and strikers, Bayern Munich''s attacking force has nearly doubled!


    Aldridge gritted his teeth.


    Does Bayern Munich really want to maximize the benefits of home? !


    In the first half of the first half, they entered the game faster and scored goals.


    After playing the game for 105 minutes, Millwall''s physical energy consumption on the road is definitely more serious than the opponent. Although they are almost reaching the limit, the German chariot is to grind his teeth and play a period of oppressive attack to destroy Millwall!


    Bayern Munich lost in the first round and they have a clear lead in the league. They have plenty of time to prepare for the second round at home and should be physically ahead of Millwall.


    But did Millwall despise it?


    Against Manchester United and Derbyshire, Aldridge came on the bench, considering that this game may enter overtime, giving players a short period of rest and physical preparation.


    Lizarazu made a diagonal pass to the penalty area. Yankel was defeated by Materazzi in the header. After the header was cleared, Basler took the ball in the periphery and pushed it to Effenberg. The latter made a long shot, but Bout was well selected, and the ball was swept into the arms.


    After the successful save, Bout immediately got up and strode forward, throwing the ball at the edge of the penalty area and throwing the ball directly to the sideline near the center line.


    Larsson rushed to get the ball, Lizarazu quickly back, but the speed is obviously not faster than Larsson.


    Larsson drove the ball forward along the side road, quickly matched with Henry of the middle road 2 over 1 kick wall, then hit the bottom of the penalty area and then knocked back to the middle road, Nedved shot the ball with a kick, the ball Coufer stretched his leg out of the bottom line.


    Nedved looked regretful.


    If you stop abruptly, you may be able to shake off Koufor''s defense, or shoot or pass to become better.


    He was annoyed that he failed to score the ball.


    "Wow, after the game entered the second half of overtime, the situation changed suddenly, and the two teams each made a threatening shot in 20 seconds."


    Heathfield also stood up and walked to the sidelines, his face dignified.


    It was completely unexpected that Millwall players could still run so fast after 110 minutes of play!


    In the attack just now, Larson, Henry, Nedved, Ronaldinho all rushed up, and after a long sprint, Bayern Munich''s defenders were thrown away.


    Estimated wrong!


    Of course, the schedule of the Premier League was denser than that of the Bundesliga, and there were more games. The physical training of these players is no problem. Although it has reached the limit, when it is time to rush, it is no problem to grind your teeth.


    Aldrich hesitated on the sidelines whether to replace him.


    Pirlo couldn''t run anymore, just after he chased Effenberg and failed to defend the opponent''s long shot, even he couldn''t even make the harassing action.


    However, considering that a penalty kick might be taken after less than 10 minutes, Aldridge could not replace him.


    After experiencing the scene of almost losing the ball just now, Bayern Munich, although it still increased its offensive force, did not dare to press it.


    In the last 5 minutes, the two teams had consecutive player cramps and the game was frequently interrupted.


    Seeing it, Aldridge used substitutions to delay time and prepare for a penalty shootout.


    Lampard replaced Makelele as a penalty candidate and Mills replaced Schneider with a calf cramp.

 Chapter 402： Rugged kings, defeated Munich

    Bayern Munich replaced two players, Sauer and Ziegler when 120 minutes into stoppage time.


    Obviously, it is a penalty kick.


    "90 minutes of regular time plus 30 minutes of overtime, the score has not changed, and then we will enter the cruel penalty shootout! This reminds us of the Champions League final last season, Millwall in the penalty shootout 3-0 victory over Real Madrid, the order of the penalty players discharged by Hall has also become a hot topic after the game. How will Millwall perform at the Munich Olympic Stadium today? Bayern Munich takes advantage of the home court, the scene Tens of thousands of fans put pressure on their opponents and support Bayern. This is their positive factor. Can they move forward to the dream of chasing for 23 years?"


    The players from both sides prepared for a penalty shootout on the sidelines. Substitutes and replaced players also came to cheer for their teammates. Team doctors and masseurs massaged the players who had worked for 120 minutes.


    Aldridge is thinking about the order of penalty shooters.


    This matter is basically unable to prepare before the game, you can practice penalties, but it is difficult for the head coach to think about the list of penalty players in the mind, because the penalty players may not be able to stick to the last minute in the game. Then the plan will be disrupted.


    Klinsmann said to Aldridge with a solemn expression: "How was it like last season''s final? Goalkeepers, guards, as long as they are penalized, the pressure on the opponent will be very great."


    Aldridge looked at Butt thoughtfully, and the other person looked calm. He turned to look at Kahn, not far from the next door, and finally shook his head: "That might be too risky."


    For the first time, the strange move had an unexpected effect, but Heathfield could not have expected that Millwall would arrange a penalty shooter in this way. In addition to last season¡¯s Champions League final, Millwall gave goalkeepers, defenders, and midfielders the order to take the penalty. Penalties caused a sensation after the game. It can be said that it almost became a classic.


    Bayern Munich players are psychologically prepared even if they see Millwall send a penalty shooter.


    Plus, letting Bout first face Kahn, Aldrich thinks this is not putting pressure on Bayern Munich, but putting pressure on Bout.


    But all generations of goalkeepers almost killed a lot of excellent goalkeepers in the same period. Born in this era, Bout was very unlucky. Although he was not a goalkeeper, he had only been able to fall under Kahn and Lehman in the national team. What is the psychological impact?


    Kahn has just been promoted to become the main goalkeeper of the national team this season. It was when the spirit was strong that Bout won many honors with Millwall, but still ranked third in the national team.


    Aldrich decided the order of the penalty shooters.


    Before the penalty shootout started, 11 people on the court went to the middle circle. Butt hugged each teammate before walking to the goal. Then he walked to the goal. Bayern Munich took the penalty first.


    The 10 remaining Millwall players in the middle circle hooked their shoulders together and stared at the goal with a serious expression.


    On the sidelines, Aldridge called the coaching staff, team doctors and other staff to the side, they also joined the battle in a row, and the bench players followed suit.


    This seems to have become Millwall''s tradition.


    When the brutal penalty shootout comes, they will stand together from a sporadic individual to a powerful whole, not only showing absolute confidence, but also giving players strength on the field.


    When the Bayern Munich players walked to take the penalty kick, the stands quieted down, the home team fans hoped to reduce the pressure and noise caused to the players.


    Basler was the first to stand in front of the penalty kick.


    Bumping, the ball hung upright in the dead end, but Bout guessed the right direction, but the ball was too fast and the angle was tricky to do nothing.


    "Bayern Munich has a good start!"


    There was a huge cheer from the stands. Next, there was a hustle and bustle. They wanted to make more noise to disturb Millwall players.


    "Who will Millwall send? Bute? Or Materazzi? Oh, Butt didn''t come out. It was Larson who went to the penalty spot. He came to take the first penalty."


    In the face of Kahn, Larson calmly pushed the dead end and succeeded. Kahn made a mistake and rushed to the other side.


    "Larsen withstood the pressure and helped Millwall score the first goal."


    Sauer, penalty.


    Henry, penalty.


    Yankel, penalty.


    Pirlo, penalty.


    Matteus, penalty.


    Materazzi, penalty.


    "In the first four rounds, the penalty kicks of both teams all hit! At the beginning of the fifth round, Bayern Munich beat Effenberg. It was the Tigers who broke the header at the beginning of the game to help Bayern Munich equalize the total score and face this penalty. , Will he give Bayern Munich another peace of mind?"


    Effenberg stood in front of the penalty kick, his expression was not scared, and it was also a vigorous volley with a tricky angle. Butt guessed the direction again, but this kind of ball made the goalkeeper impossible to catch.


    "5:4, Bayern Munich completely lost the pressure to Millwall, now look at who is the last player Millwall played, as expected, it is Nedved!"


    Nedved didn''t look at Kahn, he directly ran a volley to send the ball into the net. Kahn was also very annoyed. He was really in the right direction this time, and his fingers also touched the ball, but he just failed. Turn the ball away.


    "Five rounds of penalty kicks are made by both sides! Next, a sudden death penalty is added!"


    Bayern Munich took the sixth place to take the penalty kick, Ziegler, he kicked Bout, shot the ball into the opposite direction of the goal.


    The sixth player of Millwall played.


    But no one went out.


    "Hey, it''s your turn."


    Southgate touched Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho seemed to recover from a daze and then loosened his teammate''s shoulder to prepare for a penalty kick.


    "Wait, or I will go!"


    Southgate was worried when he saw Ronaldinho''s condition.


    Ronaldinho shook his head firmly, then walked towards the penalty spot step by step.


    After entering the sudden death method, the penalty shooter can play casually, but the players who have been fined cannot go to the main penalty before all 11 players have been fined.


    Aldridge just said lightly before the penalty shootout: If five rounds of penalties did not lead to victory or defeat, Ronaldinho, Lampard and Zambrotta went first.


    What he meant was that three people could go anywhere, and there was no order, but maybe he read Ronaldinho''s name first. Everyone thought that Ronaldinho must be in the sixth round.


    In the noisy Munich Olympic Stadium, Ronaldinho slowly came to the penalty kick, picked up the ball and kissed it, and then set the position. After a few steps back, he ran for a kick and the ball hit the net.


    But he just scored the goal, the referee signaled that the penalty was invalid.


    Ronaldinho stunned, the referee signaled that he hadn''t whistled yet.


    Seeing Ronaldinho''s performance, Aldridge''s heart suddenly hung.


    The referee didn''t blow the whistle, he took a penalty, although the goal was scored, but this reflected from the side how nervous he was!


    Ronaldinho free throws again, this time he waits for the referee to whistle.


    Looking at the ball, his ear echoed with the noise from the stands, and Ronaldinho thought.


    Defending the European Champions Cup, this supreme honor, the expectations of teammates, the support of fans, and their own moments of shine...


    This goal must be penalized, must, must...


    Running up, stepping on a fixed point to prepare for a shot, Ronaldinho''s movement just made, the audience exclaimed.


    He slipped!


    When he slipped, his toe touched the ball. The **** ball rolled slowly towards the goal. Kahn was tricked by Ronaldinho¡¯s slipping action, but he responded quickly. After moving to the right, he braked and tried hard again. Zhong Lu reached out and threw the ball away from the goal line!


    Ronaldinho, who slipped to the ground and watched the ball didn''t enter, was hit by a sunny day. He didn''t even notice that after 120 minutes of fierce battle, he just slipped after exerting force, and his thigh was already strained. I was totally unaware of the physical pain that had penetrated into my mind, because his heart hurt a hundred times more than that!


    The hustle and bustle in the ears turned into the cheers of the sky, that was the fans of Bayern Munich at home.


    Kahn stood up and ran to his teammates with open arms, rushing past Ronaldinho.


    Ronaldinho, lying on his back on the ground, covering his face with his hands, tears poured out of his fingers like a flash flood...


    Self-blame is like the devil swallowing all his emotions, as if there has been a voice echoing in the bottom of my heart.


    You, disappointed everyone, fans, coaches, teammates!


    Both Bayern Munich players and coaches rushed from the bench to celebrate the reversal!


    "The penalty shootout is over, Bayern Munich and Millwall have a total score of 1:1 in the Champions League semifinals, 6:5 in the penalty shootout, Bayern Munich wins, and after 23 years, the Champions League will be launched again! Despite the defending champion Millwall fell in a penalty shootout, but their performance made us awe-inspiring. Ronaldinho missed the most important penalty, but he could not be blamed too much on him. He was only 19 years old. Reminiscent of Henry, Pirlo, Materazzi, Bute, Zambrotta, the guys in their early 20s, Millwall has done their best, but in such a powerful way, their fans may I will regret it."


    In the stands, thousands of crazy lion fans sang in unison after a brief silence.


    At the glorious time, the fans woven many catchy fresh songs, but at this moment, they sang the original, persistent songs again.


    "No one likes us, it doesn''t matter! No matter where you are, we will die together..."


    Thousands of people collectively sang the singing, even overshadowed the celebration of the Bayern Munich fans at home.


    When Ronaldinho slipped and Kahn rejected the ball in front of the goal line, everyone around Aldridge lowered his head in frustration, but he still stared at the court with his head high.


    Bayern Munich was celebrating, and many of Millwall''s players in the middle circle fell.


    Henry sat on the ground with his hands on his knees, bowing his head and sighing deeply.


    For two consecutive seasons, he fell to the semifinals, lost to Millwall in Monaco last year, and today lost to Bayern Munich in Millwall.


    Zambrotta, Lampard bowed his head in a blank expression, Materazzi lay directly on the ground and looked at the night sky, and closed his eyes in remorse.


    If he could stop Yankel''s header ferry at the beginning of the opening, Effenberg would definitely not be able to break the goal!


    Larson, Nedved, and Southgate comforted their teammates.


    At the end of the game, reporters and cameramen on the sidelines also flooded into the field, wanting to capture the look of the post-match players and coaches at close range.


    When the camera came to Aldridge, Aldridge pushed away with one hand, then he turned to Heathfield and smiled and shook hands with each other.


    "Congratulations to Bayern Munich for advancing to the final, you deserve the victory."


    Hessfield didn''t expect the young man to be so graceful at this moment. He only said thank you and didn''t know what to say. Did he comfort each other?


    Aldridge congratulated Hesfield after turning around again, striding the meteor towards the goal.


    At this moment, the promotion of Bayern Munich seems to become unimportant.


    The focus of the live camera was on Aldridge, watching him step by step towards the Brazilian guy who fell to the penalty spot.


    People are curious, how would he treat Ronaldinho who missed a penalty?

 Chapter 403： Hold your head up and start sailing again

    In the afternoon before the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, the Millwall youth team came to Munich with the first team and played a friendly match with the Bayern Munich youth team.


    The attack line led by Joe Cole, Villa, Vicente and Joaquin completely destroyed the Bayern Munich youth team and won a big victory 5:2.


    Under the leadership of Najib, the youth team did not go around Munich. For example, they looked for the Munich 1860 youth team for a friendly match. Instead, they sat on the stands behind the visiting coach to watch the game.


    Such an important game, the members of the youth team also want to enjoy it up close.


    This is also a way for the club to cultivate a sense of belonging among young players.


    But when they saw the team eliminated by Bayern Munich, the young players also showed their lost colors.


    On the field, Aldrich came to Ronaldinho. Everyone didn''t realize that Ronaldinho had been injured. He just thought he was sad when he slipped and missed a penalty.


    Aldrich bent down to stretch out his hand and saw a face full of tears.


    That smile would make the happy faces of all Millwalls in the entire Lions Cave stadium disappear.


    "Boss, sorry!"


    Ronaldinho knows how much the team values ??and expects the defending European Champions Cup, but he kicked off everyone''s dream.


    Aldrich showed a gentle expression to him, could not see any bitterness, he did not speak, pulled Ronaldinho off the ground, when he saw Ronaldinho''s unsteady leg showing pain on his face, Aldridge realized Ronaldinho was injured.


    He put Ronaldinho''s arm on his shoulder and then hugged him to the middle circle.


    Ronaldinho still couldn''t stop tearing against Aldridge''s shoulder, he kept apologizing to Aldridge as if he had made a big mistake.


    As Aldridge walked towards the middle circle, there was always a camera around him. The live broadcast was still not over. Maybe the audience in front of the TV was more curious about how the young coach would react next.


    The narrator is very sighed, especially from the British commentator, Martin Taylor.


    He said with a heavy tone and full of reverence: "This scene is new to us and the fans of Millwall, it is not that Millwall will not lose, they have lost, and they have fallen close to the league champion The next defeat, but today¡¯s defeat is a milestone in the history of Millwall Club and will be recorded in history. Bayern Munich defeated Millwall at home 1-0, this is the first European match in Millwall club history. Lost in war, lost in the Champions League! After embarking on the European war in the previous season, Millwall in the European Winners Cup, the Champions League has maintained an unbeaten record of 31 games, the first season in the European Winners Cup with only one game The winning record won the championship. Last season, if they counted as the finals, they won 8 games and 3 draws in 11 games. Among them, the regular time and overtime in the finals were a draw and won the penalty. This season, Millwall participated in the first 9 games. With 8 wins and 1 draw in the Champions League, we have reason to pay tribute to Millwall and pay tribute to Audrey Hall! They are never optimistic, even if this season as the defending champion in the Champions League, the outside world is still Not optimistic about them, because they lost too many excellent players in the summer, almost the loss of the main force of the half team, but Hall quickly tuned out a new generation of crazy lions, and came to the semi-finals, with multiple World Cup, European Cup Champion member Bayern Munich played against each other. In the game, we did not see Millwall fall into the disadvantage. Eventually we regretted that the penalty shootout was eliminated, but I believe that they will come back and will again hit the European Champions Cup. Never lose faith in Hall¡¯s team, they can create miracles, can give fans supreme enjoyment, can write the history of the football sanctuary!"


    Aldridge took Ronaldinho to the middle, facing the frustrated players with their heads down, he asked the three captains to pull up the players lying on the ground.


    He beckoned to the sidelines again, beckoning both the replacement and the players who came off the court.


    Finally, he pointed to the stands behind the coach seat, so that the members of the youth team also joined them.


    The stadium security staff hesitated for a moment, and finally let these young men in suits and leather suits walk into the court. They were dressed uniformly, and they wore suits at a young age.


    After everyone got together, even if the next cameraman and reporters got together, Aldridge was also deaf.


    He glanced firmly at everyone''s expression, and then said in a deep voice: "We lost this game! Yes, lost, but lost is lost! Lost to Bayern Munich, we will feel sorry, but we do not You should blame yourself, be discouraged, and lose. Being able to confront such a powerful opponent is your wealth, losing, shameless! Your present expression is like attending a funeral, mourning what? Is it that we have reached the end? No! This is not the end! Absolutely not! This is the starting point, the beginning, a more powerful milestone for Millwall in the future! Ronaldinho, put away your tears, you are only 19 years old, you deserve what you are today Be proud of your performance! You must have at least 1.5 people on the defense of Bayern Munich to mark you! Materazzi, raise your head, I¡¯ll give you 9 points for your performance today! In the future, on the way to struggle, we have to leave here with our heads raised, not to convey any message to the outside world, but to tell yourself: we still have the future! The future is in your hands, in your hearts, the key is how you are To face it, is it really down after falling here, or to make ourselves stronger, and make our team stronger! Now, head up high, throw away the sorrow, we, set sail again!"


    Aldridge''s expression, speech, and body movements were recorded by the camera next to him from start to finish, and the players'' expressions were refreshed immediately.


    Southgate shouted: "Milwall!"


    All Millwall players and coaches on the scene chanted in unison: "Chong Chong Chong!"


    Aldrich turned and led the team away.


    This scene is extremely shocking.


    The losing Millwall was led by a young handsome man with a strong expression. Everyone''s expression could not see sadness, but they could see an unyielding tenacity in their firm expression.


    Even with tears on his face, Ronaldinho, with Villa and Joe Cole on his shoulders, had sharp eyes.


    In this fallen field, Ronaldinho made an oath in his heart.


    He will lead Millwall to kill again, and give all Millwall a championship!


    Will!


    Will! ! !


    After the team returned to the locker room, Little Rolla was injured and Schneider cramped. The team doctor was doing the treatment. The players calmly began to take a shower and change their clothes without saying anything, preparing to leave Munich.


    Aldridge went to the post-match press conference.


    When Aldridge walked into the press conference, the reporters from Fleet Street in England invariably welcomed him with applause.


    Millwall was eliminated, which caught Fleet Street by surprise.


    But Millwall was not a disastrous defeat, but was out in a tragic penalty shootout. In the 120-minute game, Millwall succeeded in limiting Bayern Munich¡¯s offense despite the goal, except for the positioning head Outside the door.


    "Regarding the result of this game, Coach Hall, do you have anything to say now?"


    Aldridge calmly replied: "Congratulations to Bayern Munich for their advancement to the final. They deserved victory. I said before the first round that Millwall and Bayern Munich deserved to be in the final. The strength of both teams Unmatched, the suspense will be decided in an instant. Nedved scored a good start for us. Effenberg¡¯s header was also scored by Bayern Munich, and finally won by penalty kick Negative, although cruel, but it seems fair. Our luck is a little bit worse. This is also normal. The penalty shootout is inherently unpredictable, and no one is completely sure."


    The Fleet Street reporters nodded and agreed with Aldridge''s statement.


    Judging from the 210 minutes of the two rounds of the game, Bayern Munich and Millwall are inseparable, and the goals of the two teams are not created by the excellent opportunity. It will definitely be called accidental in the usual. But in this top-level contest, chance is actually inevitable.


    A reporter from Germany''s "Photo" asked: "Ronaldinho, the criminal who missed the sixth round of penalty kick, before he took the penalty, we noticed that Millwall captain Southgate had After a short speech exchange, did he take the initiative to take the sixth penalty?"


    Aldridge suddenly changed his colors and said sharply: "Sinner? You **** treat me with respect! None of my players are sinners! You can blame me, the team is eliminated, the responsibility is mine, it is me Let him take a penalty! I neglected his physical limit and caused him to be injured. If you must find a sinner, it is me!"


    Having said that, Aldridge got up and left, not wanting to argue with reporters again.


    "Photo" reporter was dumbfounded.


    He turned his head inexplicably to the group of British journalists on Fleet Street.


    Male gobi.


    Isn¡¯t it your best to find a sinner after a penalty kick?


    Isn¡¯t it the tradition of England?


    I respect your traditions, your young master is crazy about sending wool!


    The reporters on Fleet Street raised their eyebrows, not surprisingly.


    This young man is famous for protecting the calf. From the time he choked for the Southgate and the media, as long as it is within the scope of football, he will never let the outside world exert mental pressure on the players.


    Not to mention the heavy burden of the "loser".


    Millwall defeated Munich, and the return plane landed in London early in the morning.


    When Aldridge led his team out of the airport and was going to take the bus home, he saw that nearly a thousand crazy lion fans actually gathered outside the airport. They shouted the name of each player and cheered for them.


    If you haven¡¯t watched the game and you don¡¯t know the results in the first place, you must think that Millwall is the winner.


    Seeing many fans come to support them for the first time, the players were very moved, and some people even had wet eyes.


    Aldrich was also infected by this scene, making a gesture of worship to peripheral fans before embarking on the bus.


    After returning home, Aldridge was sitting on the sofa, although he encouraged the team to cheer up immediately after the game, but who would inspire him?


    Looking at the ceiling gave a bitter smile.


    There is a long way to go to defend the European Champions Cup.


    Sorry?


    No, he didn''t feel that way.


    Being able to play against Bayern Munich this season, as the head coach, he thinks it is a precious memory. When he is old, he should be able to smile when he remembers it. The victory and defeat of the soldiers are common. Studying is one of the joys of his job.


    Dingdong.


    Doorbell rang.


    Aldridge really laughed this time. It turned out that some people would come to comfort him and inspire him at this time.


    Opening the door, unexpectedly, I saw Yiwen holding a fruit salad...

 Chapter 404： Aureli

    After the situation of the four teams in the semifinals came out, Fleet Street looked forward to Millwall and Manchester United division finals, playing an English civil war. If this feat can be achieved, it will be the first time in the history of the Champions League. Final Civil War!


    But after Millwall was eliminated by Bayern Munich, Fleet Street felt a tragedy.


    Not to mention the civil war now, even an English team may not appear in the Camp Nou.


    Manchester United scored only a 1:1 result at home in the first round and gave Juventus an away goal. Who can be optimistic about Manchester United advancing to the final?


    But in Turin, Manchester United created a miracle.


    In the second round of Juventus and Manchester United, Inzaghi scored twice to give Juventus a 2-0 lead and a total score of 3:1. At this time, no one would think that after the 90-minute game, Manchester United Actually, Juventus was reversed with a 3:2 reversal. The shock of its great reversal was even stronger than that of Millwall''s lore of Juventus last season.


    Ann Fat also tragically kicked off the prologue of the habit of being criticized and reversed in the future.


    Aldridge watched the game on TV at home, and sent a text message to Ann Fat to comfort the opponent after the game.


    Before I went to bed, I received a reply from An Fat.


    Roughly means: the same is the end of the world!


    Not to mention, before the semi-finals kicked off, the two had agreed to compete in the finals when text messaging.


    As a result, both were tragic and could only watch the final at home.


    Why did Aldridge cheer up the team in the first place?


    Because he must make sure that the players'' spirit has not collapsed due to defeat.


    Next, their tough battle is one after another, the season is not over, the Triple Crown is gone, but it can''t be broken, and the league and the FA Cup are not needed!


    In the weekend''s league, Aldridge sent a substitute lineup. The main lineup not only has two players who can''t be determined, Schneider and Ronaldinho, plus their 120-minute battle with Bayern Munich in the middle of the week, they can play The combat strength is really limited.


    They greeted a difficult opponent at the Lion''s Cave Stadium.


    In the first half of the season, Millwall had a defeated Leeds United at Elland Road Stadium.


    David O''Reilly led his brilliantly tuned team to the Lion''s Cave Stadium.


    Leeds United is 10 points away from Millwall, but only 8 points away from the two or three Manchester United and Arsenal. There are 4 rounds left in the league. In theory, there is a possibility of entering the top three.


    Aldridge played another psychological battle before the game, but instead of provoking Leeds United, he showed weakness.


    He calmly consumed the main force too much in the middle of the week, in order to prepare for the next round of the derby with Chelsea, he will send a substitute player against Leeds United.


    O''Reilly was not fooled.


    He is very clear that against opponents like Millwall, no matter whether the opponent is on the main force or on the bench, once the initiative is attacked, the opponent will increase the chance of counterattack.


    He did a better job than Graham, as if he had the title of "Second Miss", the first is of course Aldridge.


    At the Lion''s Cave Stadium, the tactics he played were exactly the same as when the two teams confronted each other, defensive counterattacks, crazy midfielder rushing, and forward harassment.


    Although Millwall was eliminated by Bayern Munich, the enthusiasm of the fans continued, especially at this time, the Lions Stadium has been echoing cheering, even if the situation on the court is very unfavorable for the home team.


    Leeds United was defensively defensive. Defensive counterattacks relied on Kewell, Smith, Hasselbaink, and even the new star known as the genius of the English football team, Bower, worked in the midfield and backcourt.


    Although these benches did not consume physical energy during the week, they also suffered a journey because of the team''s expedition. In addition, the position battle was not their leader, and the Leeds united by the O''Reilly was born.


    When the 90-minute game was over, the fans at the Lions Stadium stadium still applauded the performance of the home team.


    The score is 0:0.


    "Millwall was eliminated in the Champions League semi-finals in the middle of the week, and the penultimate round of the league was tied by the visiting Leeds United. This result was both defeats. Manchester United and Arsenal respectively beat Aston Villa and Derby at home. County, now the top three teams in the Premier League have the same points, and Millwall''s top position is given to Manchester United. They directly slipped to the third place in the standings. They have one less goal difference than Arsenal and three fewer than Manchester United. Leeds United After this draw, the points from the top three teams have been expanded to 10 points, and the theoretical possibility of entering the Champions League has completely disappeared. Chelsea beat Everton 3-1 at Stamford Bridge. Now, the top four teams have three Points, the fourth place Chelsea is only 2 points away from the top! This is not only the most intense season of the championship since the establishment of the Premier League, it may also be the most exciting season in the history of England¡¯s top league, with three rounds left in the league, who Will it win? Maybe the answer will only be revealed on May 15th."


    After the game, O''Reilly was proud, and he took the initiative to shake hands with Aldridge, and wanted to talk more with Aldridge.


    Aldrich stretched his hand to not smile, and it is estimated that O''Leary''s psychological expectations are not high. Let Leeds United get the impossible task of the Champions League qualification. He certainly will not think so far, so there is no psychological gap.


    May be able to play a record of one win and one draw against Millwall in a single season. Not only O''Reilly, Leeds United fans also felt exasperated. Ritzdale, who came to the scene to watch the game, was simply happy and crazy. He seemed to see Yorkshire White The sight of roses blooming.


    Aldridge chatted with O''Reilly on the sidelines, but it was all nonsense, but he wanted to appreciate the complacentness of the other side.


    The pattern is a bit low.


    When he indirectly attacked Newcastle United to help Manchester United reach the league title, he did not have the joy of O''Reilly.


    At the end of the conversation, Aldridge said before the ghost leader: "Maybe Manchester United would like to thank Leeds United."


    O''Reilly was thunderbolt on the spot.


    grass!


    Yeah, fuck!


    Leeds United sniped Millwall, making Millwall slip to the third place in the standings, but who is the top now?


    Leeds''s enemy, Manchester United!


    Aldridge walked into the locker room without too much criticism of the bench, and even encouraged them.


    He couldn''t be more demanding of these bench players, especially when there were only three rounds left in the league and one FA Cup final, which ended this season.


    In the next four games, he will definitely send the main force to play, except for Ronaldinho''s position to find a replacement.


    In an interview after the game, Aldridge was very calm about the team dropping to third place in the standings.


    "This is the league. At the last minute, you won''t know the final result. There are three leagues left. If Manchester United wins and maintains the goal difference, then the champion is theirs. Since February, they have only played in all competitions. After losing a FA Cup semi-final, their performance is commendable. If they win the championship, it means they are strong enough to be worthy of the championship."


    Aldridge began to save character.


    At this time, Newcastle United coach Gullit stood up to make a speech and mocked Millwall.


    "Triple crown? Ha ha, maybe after playing Chelsea in the next round, they will not even get the qualification for the Champions League next season. Millwall will pay for their youth. Youth represents passion, but there will also be ups and downs. Cost. Who can win? I hope it is Chelsea."


    Even though Gullit had a contradiction with Viali, he hated Millwall even more. The scene of his blood washing at Millford Bridge was lingering in his mind for a long time. It is estimated that he will never forget this life.


    Moreover, he is also fighting the popularity of the enemy for Newcastle United.


    In the FA Cup final, Millwall''s opponent is Newcastle United led by Gullit.


    When he was asked about Gullit¡¯s remarks in the middle of the week, Aldridge said lightly: "I don¡¯t care much about the voices of some people. Millwall will always beat many teams. The losers will hate and be angry. Will use another way to fight back the winner, which is actually a kind of cowardice and sadness. If every Millwall¡¯s defeat will laugh at us with words, humiliate us, and then I fight back one by one, sorry, I don¡¯t have that We spend a lot of time playing football, not kids scolding."


    In preparing for the Derby against Chelsea on the weekend, Aldridge emphasized a point within the team: fight for victory, but don''t care about the goal difference!


    Millwall is now evenly tied with Manchester United and Arsenal, the goal difference behind the two teams.


    He is not afraid of the team''s lack of fighting spirit, but he is worried that the players will lose their minds.


    The last three opponents, one is Chelsea and the other is Everton, playing Arsenal in the final game.


    Even Everton will desperately want to relegate.


    No opponent will give them a goal difference, this kind of thing is very morale and face, even if relegation and worry-free, the European midfielder team with no door in Europe will not open the door to shoot at will!


    But most of the players still care more, because fate is not in their own hands.


    The game against Chelsea is on Sunday, and Manchester United''s game is ahead of Saturday.


    All players of the Millwall first team watch the live broadcast of this game at home.


    Everyone seemed a little nervous.


    Manchester United is visiting Elland Road and challenging Leeds United.


    After the 90-minute game, not only the fans of Leeds United were cheering, but also Millwall players and fans applauded for Leeds United.


    O''Leary has undoubtedly won the hearts of all Leeds United fans.


    Not only did he score one win and one draw against Millwall, but he also shot Manchester United at home in such a fierce stage!


    1:1!


    Ferguson''s face was dark and his disciples left Elland Road Stadium. The fans there did not welcome them. From the beginning to the end of the game, they provoked, humiliated and mocked them.


    Manchester United''s advantage over Arsenal and Millwall became 1 point.


    Millwall and Arsenal will start at the same time.


    O''Reilly''s enthusiasm, the Leeds united by the training is so amazing that everyone!


    They are undoubtedly the biggest spoiler in the final stage of the Premier League.


    The leader Milvora was dismounted, which slowed down Manchester United.


    Seeing the team achieve such a good record in the box at Elland Road Stadium, Ritzdale finally made up his mind.


    After the game he found an assistant to start the offensive of the summer transfer.


    The night after the game, Aldridge was woken up by the phone.


    Andrew''s deep voice was heard from the phone.


    "The Leeds Federation will send an offer to Ferdinand, Duff, Mills, Neil, Lampard, Klose, Van Nistelrooy."


    "and then?"


    "They can''t buy so many players at once, but they can take away one by one. From the information I received, Leeds United will come up with a transfer budget of at least 30 million pounds in the summer."


    "Do they want to go bankrupt?"


    "I do not know."


    "The offer is rejected."


    "Then you have to prepare a new contract for Ferdinand players. Leeds United will give them twice the salary now."


    Aldridge suddenly sat straight from the bed and gritted his teeth: "Really?"


    "Ferdinand told me personally that although he didn''t say it directly, if Millwall gave him the same contract with Leeds, he would stay."


    "Damn it! Let him go!"

 Chapter 405： Chelsea fans fixed mode

    Aldridge manages the team now only to grasp the general direction, transfers to the market to recruit or sell players to negotiate directly with the opposing manager, as for player renewal or signing of contract treatment for recruitment, Aldridge will not personally question, all The work is given to Adam.


    For example, if he feels that it is time to give a new contract to a player, he will tell Adam that he will roughly mention a salary grade, and Adam will have a deep heart, and then he will come forward and talk to the player agent or talk to the player directly.


    As the head coach, Aldridge communicates with the players only within the scope of the essence of football, and will not bargain face to face.


    In the home game against Chelsea, Ferdinand was kicked off the bench, Neal was replaced, and Audric needed Ferdinand to calm himself down.


    It is not that the future Ferdinand is not valuable, but that the club is a pyramid structure, the locker room has been established for many years to establish a stable order, how other teams manage, Aldrich does not care, under his rule, the "following" things can never be tolerated .


    Ferdinand is not challenging the authority of his coach, but is disrupting the order in the locker room, causing negative factors for this stable structure.


    In the guard''s salary, he came to the team neither as well as Materazzi nor Neil. He contributed to the team. He is only a substitute and his ability is still improving. Obviously not the mainstay of the team. , Aldridge admits his future potential, but if he now wants a higher salary than Neal and Materazzi, second only to Southgate¡¯s first-team salaries.


    Aldridge will apologize to him and let him go!


    This is a very simple choice, if Aldridge meets him, he will stay, then? What do other bench players think? What do the main players think?


    Their big contracts are all won by one victory after another, and they are rewarded after making more contributions to the club to add honour and honor. Why should a substitute double the contract because of other teams'' seduce? So can they do the same? When the giants come to seduce them, they also demand higher compensation?


    The current fame and strength of Leeds United has no match for Millwall''s team. Naturally, like Chelsea, it is necessary to invest heavily in the transfer market and give players high treatment beyond their value. Otherwise, why do people deign go to your house?


    Even if Ferdinand only asked for a 30% contract increase, Aldridge would not directly kick him out of the big list. He didn¡¯t have time to analyze his career prospects for Ferdinand. The players also had eager achievements. It is natural to become famous in the world, to make "quick money", casually.


    The Lion Cave Stadium is full of seats.


    Millwall and Chelsea players are preparing to play in the player channel.


    Viali stood dignified in front of the visiting team''s coach seat, while Aldridge appeared calm and chatted with Jenson from time to time on the coach seat.


    His relaxed and confident gesture is to show the players.


    At this time, if the coach sweats nervously as if the mansion will fall, it will of course affect the mentality of the players.


    "A London Derby in the 36th round of the Premier League in the 98-99 season is about to start. Millwall ushered in Chelsea''s challenge at home. In yesterday''s match, Manchester United were tied by Leeds United at Elland Road Stadium. This result Unsurprisingly, Leeds United is under the leadership of O''Reilly this season. If Leeds United''s bench depth and the team can be more mature, perhaps they will also join the chaotic and exciting championship drama this season! Manchester United are now independent Sitting at the top of the standings, but leading by only 1 point, Millwall and Arsenal kick off at the same time today, once the two teams win, Manchester United will change the top position. Chelsea are 3 points behind Manchester United, behind Arsenal and Millwall have 2 points. They also seem to have the hope of winning the championship. There is no doubt that today''s game will be the biggest uncertainty for the top four teams to compete for the championship!"


    Both players played, Millwall played 433 as usual today.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.


    Midfielders: Makelele, Pirlo, Nedved.


    Strikers: Larson, Henry, Glenshire.


    Chelsea also use their 442.


    Goalkeeper: De Huye.


    Defenders: Frere, Le Bouf, Deseli, Le Saux.


    Midfielders: Petrescu, Di Matteo, Wise, Boyette.


    Forwards: Zola, Flo.


    At the entrance, you can clearly see the players of the two teams holding their heads up and fighting.


    After Manchester United was leveled yesterday, the initiative to return to the championship returned to Millwall.


    This allows players to focus on their own games without distracting themselves, without having to look at others.


    It doesn''t matter now that they are evenly tied with Arsenal and the goal difference is behind.


    In the remaining three games, playing Chelsea today, Everton next week, and ending the Premier League against Arsenal. If you can¡¯t win it all, the Premier League champions belong to others. You can only blame yourself for not being disappointed.


    To win the championship, defeat all powerful enemies!


    With three rounds left in the league, Chelsea''s hopes of winning the title are slim.


    Even if they win today and evenly score with Manchester United, they may still fall behind to Arsenal, not to mention that their goal difference is too big.


    However, they still maintain the ambition to compete for the championship. No matter how bad it is, they will also make it to the top three to enter the Champions League next season!


    This battle, there is no doubt that the battle of the Heavenly King Mountain!


    Before the game, Aldridge did not engage in a psychological battle with Viali. There was no need for it. The remaining three opponents did not have to doubt the battle intentions. Chelsea came to the Lions Stadium. It is impossible to come to a draw at all. Will it only make them farther away from the dream of entering the Champions League, their first three teams are at least 2 points away, and it makes sense to draw 1 more points?


    When the game started, the two sides carefully prepared for the game and the two sides launched a counterattack!


    "The rhythm is very fast at the beginning of the game. Both sides are competing against each other, the goal is simple and fast, and the purpose of forward is very clear. Strangely, is Millwall''s rear defense using offside tactics today?"


    At the beginning of the opening, Di Matteo picked Zola, and the dwarf tiger took the ball in the penalty area and directly kicked the hole through the goal. The sideman raised the flag to indicate that the offside was first, and it was very obvious.


    Offside?


    Of course not. Aldrich also started the next stage of team building after defeating Munich.


    The back line seems to have a lot of premises. In fact, it started a high-pressure **** and launched a quick counterattack after the steal. This tactical arrangement is also the future trend. Often a picture will be seen in a football game: A hits B counterattack. Interception was intercepted, B turned around and immediately counterattacked A, back and forth, depending on who killed the opponent''s offense more efficiently, who made mistakes when the offensive and defensive rhythm was extremely fast, and whose offensive player Can seize the opportunity!


    In fact, this is the premise of defensive key areas. It is not the opponent¡¯s last blow that kills, but the opponent¡¯s fatal pass, which destroys the opponent¡¯s offensive organization. Once the midfield interception is unfavorable, the high-pressure force will not be effective and will be penetrated. The odds are very high, and the rest can only be seen by the goalkeeper and the opponent''s ability to seize the opportunity.


    The players of the two sides let each other fight in the midfield. Di Matteo just turned the ball and passed it to Petrescu on the sideline. Zambrotta went straight to steal the ball and then passed the ball to Nedved. The player then knocked the ball back to Pirlo. Pirlo kicked the penalty area and Henry lost to the opponent in the confrontation. However, Deseli header the ball out of the ball, and the small Wise scrambled to win. Lost to Larson.


    Larsson headed the ball to Pirlo and Millwall continued to attack.


    "Today''s game is so dazzlingly fast, Millwall doesn''t seem to give the opponent a breathing second."


    Pirlo faxed over Di Matteo and then passed the left side diagonally. Glenchard dribbled inwards and traversed the middle. Henry succeeded in an offside and Glenchart grabbed the front stop in Leberf. After the ball went behind the opponent, Henry went to the periphery of the ball''s rolling path in the running position, hit the ball with a kick, and the ball hung directly on the side net at the far end of the goal.


    "In the opening 11 minutes, Millwall scored a goal! Henry opened the record, and the shooter who changed from a winger to a center shot in the penalty area feels better and better! Hall has tuned out a hopeful world class forward!"


    Aldridge shouted at the sidelines.


    After scoring a goal, Henry pointed to Glennshire and laughed, and they ran to the side of the court together to pay tribute to the fans in the stands.


    After the defeat in Munich, the fans'' unwavering support allowed them to go all out to return them.


    In the European Champions Cup, they have fallen apart, the league champion, they vowed not to miss it again!


    After being eliminated by Bayern Munich, Aldridge rethought. Although he was eventually eliminated by the penalty shootout, he believes that such a way of exit is not the majesty described by Fleet Street, but a fool!


    He believes that he should take the courage to take risks at the time of the blog!


    Even if you lose, it will be vigorous, but in the process of adventure, the odds will be improved.


    So playing Chelsea, he does not play psychological warfare, Millwall will take the initiative, even if Chelsea''s situation forces them not to be conservative, Millwall still gave up the seemingly more stable defensive counterattack or offensive and defensive balance system.


    High pressure to snatch, mad attack!


    The ability to fight players with the opponent, the willpower, to see who can''t keep up with the opponent''s pace in this frequent offensive and defensive rhythm, and to see whose striker has a better ability to seize the opportunity!


    What if I lose?


    Now is not the time to lose.


    Years of coaching experience tells Aldridge that there is simply no safe way to win the final victory on the football field, so that adventurers have the opportunity to become winners. .


    Viali watched the situation on the court and frowned, and Chelsea fans entered a familiar state: pessimism.


    Every time they meet Millwall, they will start a fixed mode: the first stage, full of expectations, ambitious to kill the dead enemy! In the second stage, the game started, Chelsea dropped the ball first, and fans began to pray. In the third stage, Chelsea lost the ball again, and the fans fell into despair. In the fourth stage, the game ended, Millwall won, Chelsea fans retired, waiting for the mode to be turned on again when the next confrontation...


    It is said that Aldridge is the most hated man of West Ham United, but to ask who Chelsea fans hate most, they can''t count how many Millwall players have broken through their own doors, but basically everyone will answer Aldrich Odd, cursing him to get out early, the Hall family had better go bankrupt quickly, and Millwall also disappeared from the Premier League.


    Today, they seem to have entered a familiar rhythm.


    If Chelsea lose this game, Mo said the hope of winning the championship, I am afraid that even the chance to enter the Champions League will also disappear.


    Chelsea fans almost roared in the stands with grief and anger, cheering for Chelsea players.


    Work hard, fight, get rid of Millwall, they won the championship or not, we don¡¯t care anymore, but we hope to see you on the European Championship next season!

 Chapter 406： See tricks

    The hustle and bustle of the Lion''s Cave Stadium


    Most of the slogans played by the fans in the stands are support for the players and the team. It is rarely seen that fans are calling on the team to cheer for the championship.


    Fan organizations are also agreeing privately: don¡¯t put any pressure on the team, no matter what the ending is, we accept it!


    This requirement is only understood by the most **** fans.


    I think that when Millwall was in the lower league, most of the fans'' mentality was "there is wine and drunk now, and one win is one count."


    As long as they enter the stadium to watch the game today and win the game, they will be as happy as winning a big prize. Although they also hope that the team can perform better, rush to the top league and stay there, but in most cases the team can¡¯t do it. By the way, the lineup was there, plus there was no glorious history in the past, the fans could not have too many demands on the team, it was simply unreasonable.


    But now the situation is different. Too many neutral fans fall in love with this magnificent division, so they have requirements for the record. Of course they hope that the team will win the championship. Let them witness with their own eyes, so that when they are old, they can proudly tell their children and grandchildren how they once saw the "legendary master of the king" dominate.


    The organizer of the fan organization reached an agreement after negotiation. At present, it is better to let the team not face the pressure to face the game. Only when the team plays more freely can it bring a better record, which is in line with the higher expectations of fans. There is no conflict.


    The only difference is that you want the team to win the championship in your heart, but don''t say it becomes a hard requirement, which puts pressure on the players, but may make the players play badly.


    After Millwall took the lead, the team''s tactics remained unchanged and Chelsea were very uncomfortable.


    Unless they encounter a team that lays on the bus, they will encounter such a large interception pressure in the midfield, and the most defensive teams often block in the midfield and backcourt, which will not make the offensive organization chaotic.


    But Millwall directly made Chelsea even the defender''s ball will make mistakes. Looking up, Millwall''s midfield and backcourt, there is a goalkeeper Bout in the 35 yard area in front of the goal, the guard line is close to the middle circle, unless Chelsea''s offensive players retreated deeply in the frontcourt, the overall formation of the opponent will be withdrawn later, but once Chelsea''s offensive advances to the midfield, the formation will press up again, and the compression will continue to surround and suppress in the midfield.


    Wise handed the ball to the sidelined Boyette. Schneider quickly pressed up to steal after the opponent stopped the ball, forcing the opponent to control the ball and making the ball out of the sideline.


    Schneider immediately stepped out of the sideline to take the ball and threw it to Larson who retreated in front. Larson stopped the ball and then knocked back to Schneider. The latter found a long pass and found the empty inside accurately. De Verde.


    Nedved swayed Di Matteo with a fake movement, straight ahead of the penalty area, and then ran forward, but the man crossed the ball and stopped the ball in the back heel.


    This change in rhythm confuses Chelsea''s defensive players. After a pause, they saw Larson rushing towards the ball outside the penalty area and took a volley.


    The shot from outside the penalty area was so strong that it flew into the upper right corner of Chelsea''s goal like a shell.


    "Larsen! Larsen! Larsen, the king returned in the second half of the season! He scored the league''s 10th goal this season, considering his only 14 appearances in the league so far, this goal efficiency It¡¯s amazing! I have to praise Nedved, who played football with Larson for five years. The tacit understanding between the two is unparalleled. Nedved doesn¡¯t need to look at it to know where Larson is. At the moment when everyone gave the ball to Larson at the heel, the Chelsea defensive player was dumbfounded. LeBov was even subconsciously chasing Nedved, and Deseli was slow to grab a step. Shot without interference, this ball is really beautiful!"


    Larson ran on the sidelines with his arms open and closed his eyes, listening to the cheers of the fans.


    This season, he missed the first half of the game, but as long as he comes back, he can enjoy the game.


    why?


    Because there are teammates who know his running position best, and they don¡¯t need too much verbal communication. When he moved, Nedved observed that he could almost predict where he would appear after 3 seconds and after 5 seconds. !


    At the end of the run, Larson turned to hug Nedved.


    2: 0 now.


    Closer to victory, closer to the league champion.


    Aldridge asked the players to stay focused on the sidelines.


    1:0 is not insured and everyone knows it.


    2:0 is the most dangerous and must be reminded.


    Vialli was not angry because he lost the ball. This was the season when he coached Chelsea, and it was also a season when his coaching ability began to gain. He had an insight into Millwall¡¯s tactical intentions and knew the crux of Chelsea. .


    If there is a huge gap between the capabilities of these players and Millwall, the whole world will not agree, but in less than 30 minutes, they were hit a 2:0, and Chelsea did not even have a shot, this is completely the main The problem with coaching ability.


    Viali called his fellow Di Matteo to the front and asked him to convey his tactical adjustment instructions to the team.


    If he loses his composure at this moment, he will only lament the team''s poor strength or blame others, then Chelsea can''t hold on to the hope of maintaining the championship in this round!


    Viali''s adjustment soon received a special effect!


    Pirlo put in a long shot and was taken into the arms by Dehouye, who directly threw the ball to Frere on the wing.


    Freyre is a big-foot pass without waiting for Glennall to come up to intercept his pass.


    The ball fell very well, just 5 yards before the penalty area.


    When Dhuye hugged the ball from Pirlo''s long shot, striker Zola pressed against Millwall''s defender line. As soon as Frere''s pass came, he rushed forward and passed Matt. In the middle of Lacy and Southgate.


    This ball also blocked Millwall.


    It¡¯s been a long time since Chelsea played such a long pass. Since Gullit took over this team, he has focused on creating a romantic and beautiful football style. The long pass is a simple and rude thing. The five leagues are not shameful for England. .


    Viali is an Italian, and he should look down on the long pass, but he is used to coaching in the field of England. He is used to it, and it is more or less assimilated.


    "Zola succeeded against offside! Chelsea got a golden opportunity, but Bout abandoned the door!"


    Bute was originally in front of the position. He was not afraid of the opponent''s midfield hanging door, but he was afraid that the opponent would be hit by a single shot in a straight ball. The current situation is also a straight ball, but it is just a top ball.


    Originally the ball fell, the distance between the two was about the same, the chance of competition should be half a catty, but Zola was faster, the bantam strove to rush forward, and later Materazzi and Southgate chased back and farther away After all, Zola is sprinting at full speed without the ball. This type of forward rushes up. As long as there is no physical problem, the defender can''t catch up.


    Bout saw that he couldn''t get a quicker step than the opponent, so when the two were about to meet, they opened their arms and swung left and right to disturb the other, while continuing to move forward to block the opponent with their bodies.


    The short-legged tiger Zola was extremely calm at this moment. After stopping the ball, he did not move forward, but turned to pull horizontally. After a certain angle, he kicked the ball. The ball rolled over two meters from Bout. He turned his head and looked. A look lost.


    "The goal has been scored! Zola calmly shoved the angle and pushed the shot. The Millwall''s defense had a problem. They didn''t stare at Zola for the first time. Let the striker who helped Chelsea attack the city go alone! 2: 1. Chelsea pulled one back, and there is still time, Chelsea did not surrender, no!"


    Viali saw the goal and roared with passion to celebrate, not only did his adjustments have an effect, but also directly helped the team to quickly return a goal, which is crucial to morale.


    Millwall''s midfield interception is too strong, and it is too difficult to count on Di Matteo, Boyet, etc. players to penetrate the defense line, and Millwall apparently targeted Chelsea''s side before the game. Road offense, viali''s adjustment is to organize offense? Go to hell!


    Everyone can organize an offensive, just hit each other''s central defender behind him. Isn''t that Ma Pingchuan''s counterattack against fertile soil, isn''t Zola''s best stage to gallop willingly?


    Aldrich must admit that Chelsea has sent a group of outstanding players after these years of investment. Just now Flair¡¯s pass was just right. That landing not only made the guards unable to catch up, but also made the goalkeeper¡¯s attack become embarrassing. A good player like Rael will pass such a shot, I am afraid that the same strategy of Chelsea may not work.


    If this kind of high-pressure coercion is most afraid of, it is that Chelsea just fought back quickly.


    No matter where the attack is initiated, as long as the ball penetrates the defense line and the defender cannot catch up with the defense, basically Hallelujah can only pray.


    Aldridge also adjusted to the sidelines.


    He made Makelele and Southgate swap positions. Southgate played to intercept the centreback. Makelele was faster. Materazzi topped the top guy Flo, if the opponent''s high-altitude ball looked for Flo At the top of his head, Materazzi must guarantee the success rate one-on-one!


    After the adjustment, Millwall still pressed for a high pressure, and Chelsea played a strong straight, but the pass landing was not so good, plus Makelele consciously guarded, Chelsea wanted to copy the first goal. The ball is almost impossible.


    At the same time, Millwall''s two full-backs also consciously guarded against the opponent''s top pass. If it was a diagonal pass to the area near the full-back, Zambrotta and Schneider would definitely go back to defend quickly.


    The two teams are very lively.


    "Andy, Millwall''s offense has become unpredictable. Except for Glenchard''s position is fixed on the left, other offensive players, Henry, Nedved, Larson, and the three frequently change positions. We simply It is impossible to guess who will appear on the sidewalk and who will appear in the penalty area."


    "Yes, this has a clear Hall tuning color, like Trezeguet''s picture of being fixed at the center position and entering the center role first in the offense. We will not see this Millwall, They will appear in the area of ??the front waistline when the attack is launched, and they will derive countless changes through the coordination of the running position when the forward development continues, which makes it very difficult for the defender to mark."


    "Why don''t other teams follow suit?"


    "Because the quality of the players is too high, the first is consciousness and ability, and the second is tacit understanding. The former two points are hard indicators, not every striker can hold the ball and control the ball to pass a good ball, or even a personal breakthrough , Not every player who plays a midfielder or winger has excellent scoring ability. The value of Millwall''s offensive players also reflects from the side how high their ability is. After having these players, they still need to pass long Time running in to achieve offensive smoothness and display of power, it is necessary to come over step by step to achieve this effect. Unfortunately, many coaches do not have Hall¡¯s absolute authority and free coaching environment, or they can¡¯t get the players they want, or The record demands too much pressure."


    "Okay, Andy gave us an in-depth analysis of the reasons why Millwall''s attack was strong. The first half of the game was also over. Millwall 2:1 Chelsea. 45 minutes in the second half is likely to determine the final fate of the two teams this season. Worth our expectations!"

 Chapter 407： Shameless?

    In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought, the fighting spirit is still full, everyone knows the importance of this game to the team''s destiny!


    "News from another venue tells us that Arsenal have already taken a 4-0 lead in the first half at Riverside Stadium. It looks like Middlesbrough can¡¯t cause Arsenal trouble. Arsenal topped the list without too much Great suspense. If Millwall can win this game, they can not care about the results of Arsenal. If both teams win in the next round, Millwall still has his own control in the final game. Destiny, as long as they beat Arsenal at home, they can win the lost league title last season."


    Fans in the stands have long been informed of this news, but they don''t care too much.


    Manchester United fell off the chain yesterday. Do you expect Arsenal to encounter Waterloo again today?


    Millwall doesn''t need to look at others, they can''t win these three tough battles, they can''t deserve the championship!


    "In the second half, we saw that Millwall''s offense seemed to have some changes. He no longer blindly pursued speed, and played more patiently in front of Chelsea''s penalty area."


    "This kind of cooperation seems familiar, I always feel that I have seen..."


    Nedved took control of the ball in the frontcourt, Di Matteo defended him head-on, he handed the ball to Larsson who was passing by, Larsson passed the short pass to Henry in the middle, and the Chelsea defense was like Adversary.


    Henry took the ball on his back and knocked it back to Nedved. Nedved opened the legs in place, the ball leaked behind him, Nedved ran forward, and Larson also ran forward. Forbidden area.


    Chelsea''s back line is facing the enemy. At this moment, three Millwall players pressed near the middle of the restricted area, forcing Chelsea''s defensive focus to be on their side.


    Pirlo stepped forward to stop the ball that Nedvide missed, and then under the intense attention of the Chelsea players, he decisively plugged the ball.


    For whom?


    Henry, Nedved, and Larson didn''t move. Deseli and Le Bouf turned their heads and saw the ball penetrated the defense. The diagonal pass to the other side of the penalty area. Glencharner overtaking, in Friel After stopping the ball in front of him, he took another step horizontally to prepare for a foot shot. Frere saw a bad situation and knocked down Glenchar from the back.


    "Glenchard fell in the penalty area! The referee decisively stopped the game and took a penalty! Millwall scored a penalty in the 59th minute of the second half!"


    Chelsea players surrounded the referee, but the referee was ruthless and did not listen to Chelsea players'' explanations or protests at all. He didn''t say a word and Chelsea players walked away helplessly.


    Aldridge was not too judged. He raised his hand on the sidelines to signal that he should take a card, at least for the yellow card!


    Although the yellow card is not enough to let Frere off, but with a yellow card on his body, Millwall can focus on his side, forcing him to be afraid of large-scale fouls.


    The Lion''s Cave Stadium was quiet, and everyone was watching Larson heading towards the penalty spot.


    Originally, this was usually a penalty, but the penalty was just lost in Munich, and the fans were subconsciously nervous.


    "Larsen came to take a penalty unexpectedly, he should be fine."


    But Larson got up after running, but Dehuye guessed the right direction and blocked the ball with one palm!


    "Wow, Dehuye''s wonderful save, Larson actually missed the shot! Wait, Larson header shot, the goal scored, Millwall expanded the score again, 3:1, this penalty has Helping them to lead Chelsea by two goals without any risk."


    Larson himself felt the ups and downs from **** to heaven.


    De Huye''s ball was just in the penalty area. He took a step back and didn''t dare to stop the ball. He directly scored the goal. Otherwise, Chelsea players would harass him. It is estimated that the ball was hanging.


    After scoring, Larson turned around and smiled bitterly. His teammates gathered around and hugged him. No matter what, the goal was enough.


    The game has been played for 60 minutes. After the team has led two more goals, Aldridge began to consider whether to make substitutions to make adjustments to strengthen the defense and defend the victory to get the victory.


    But he looked at the momentum displayed by the Chelsea players, and he dismissed the idea again.


    Chelsea didn''t give up at all and must continue to suppress the opponent with an offensive.


    Wait a minute.


    In the second half, Chelsea did not blindly play a long pass. On the contrary, when Millwall''s two full-backs consciously helped to defend each other''s high-altitude ball, Chelsea''s wing was not completely crushed.


    Six minutes later, Chelsea helped Aldridge make up his mind.


    After receiving the ball on the wing, Poyet made a diagonal pass and Zola and Makelele started at the same time, but Zola ran to the ball and Makelele ran to the penalty area first. After Zola took the ball and passed Mark When Lai Lai, Materazzi tackled the ball from the back. As a result, Zola drew the ball before Materazzi tackled and was kicked by Materazzi.


    When Zola fell in pain and wailing, the referee''s whistle also rang, without hesitation rushing to the place of the incident, and then showed a red card to Materazzi.


    "Matrazzi paid a price for his reckless tackle. This red card is not controversial. Although Zola is not a single-handed tackle, the oblique rear tackle has also been banned by UEFA. Materazzi has not yet tackled The ball is a shovel! Although he has the action of closing the foot, the fact has already caused that Zola''s painful expression did not last long, but we cannot accuse him of gaining sympathy and affecting the referee''s penalty."


    Materazzi regretted it after the tackle. At the end of the game, Aldridge walked over and patted his shoulder, and did not blame him for anything. Materazzi apologized to him in a low voice, Aldridge just smiled, Said nothing.


    The game is too important, and Aldridge let them play defensive tactics today, forcing Materazzi to be chased back after being beaten, saving the eager mind, Aldridge feels that he also has a certain responsibility, will not blame Materazzi.


    Originally, when the defender lost his position behind him, he would sound an alarm in his mind. Previously they were all defensive fronts, and now it is easy to be beaten behind by a high position.


    Before Chelsea took the direct free kick, Millwall completed the substitutions, and the two were replaced at once.


    "Hall passively made adjustments. Neal came on for Glenshare and Gattuso came on for Henry. It seems that they will play a 441 formation. Say in detail that the midfielder will be a three-back midfielder Garnett Vader."


    Aldridge gave instructions to players on the court to play one less. They not only need to slow down the rhythm, but also be targeted.


    Chelsea''s direct free kick hit the ball and Millwall was ready to kick the ball.


    Bute grinded for about 20 seconds before the ball was kicked out. Chelsea players complained to the referee that Millwall had delayed the time, but the referee only verbally warned Butte that he just gave Millwall a red card. Continue to yellow cards?


    Bout kicked the ball to Schneider on the wing.


    After receiving the ball, Schneider stood still.


    Zola came to grab, Schneider kicked the ball to Neal in the middle, Flo came to grab, Neal kicked the ball to Southgate again.


    Not to mention, both Neil and Southgate are not pure central defenders. Although they do not dare to speak first-class ball-handling skills, they can pass the ball without errors.


    Chelsea saw Millwall start shameless.


    Viali is also desperately corrupt!


    Speaking of the delay in ball control, Mo said that no team in the Premier League has a match with Millwall. Even looking at Europe, Millwall has an advantage.


    Ball control not only depends on the accuracy of the pass, but also requires the player to take the initiative to position and connect in a small area.


    In the dead position, if there is no running without the ball and pulls out the free space, it will only be marked by the defensive player and then the ball will be intercepted.


    Millwall''s players practice teamwork from the beginning of the youth team, and have a strong sense of running and receiving the ball without the ball.


    Chelsea don''t say that they rely on two forwards to grab four defenders. Even if they add two forwards to grab, they can still pass back the goalkeeper.


    Viali watched his forward being played by the opponent through the pass, doing wasteful running wasting his physical energy, time passed by one second, he walked angrily towards Hall and growled.


    "This is Millwall? Do you want to win the league title this way? Shameful!"


    Aldridge turned his head to look at him, his mouth slightly upturned, showing a disdainful smile.


    Laozi''s team played less and didn''t use the bus or lay grass tactics, nor did they increase their aggressiveness in the fight. We are still playing. You can''t grab the ball. Why do you blame me?


    shameful?


    Aldridge didn''t feel shameful at all.


    I just feel that Viali is almost losing his mind under pressure.


    Isn¡¯t it shameful to have Millwall take the initiative to attack, and then Chelsea will fight back with more defenses and less successes?


    Don¡¯t complain if you have the ability to go crazy.


    Chelsea really came up crazy and forced to grab.


    What Millwall waited for was the opponent''s overall formation forward pressure, almost exactly the same way Chelsea scored in the first half.


    Schneider made a big long pass in the backcourt. Larson succeeded in an offside and went straight to the meeting. Unfortunately, the ball fell a little bit forward. Dehuye abandoned the goal and headed the ball out of the penalty area.


    "Nedved followed, and he volleyed a long distance after stopping the ball in the chest! Oh, a little deviation, almost a bit, the ball rubbed the post and hit the bottom line."


    Aldridge raised an eyebrow on the sidelines and was not disappointed.


    It is now Chelsea''s formation that has taken a high position strategy and pressed Millwall to attack, but Millwall has contracted back to protect the restricted area very well. The four guards and Gattuso and Makelele have a layered defense. Pirlo is more offensive initiator after changing from defense to offense.


    Flo headed the goal and slid out the door. Poyet made a long shot and was successfully saved by Bout. Zola faced Southgate in the restricted area with a small angle shot and hit the post to pop up!


    Chelsea started bombing with 15 minutes left in the game, but there was no perfect opportunity. The accumulated shots of the attack were not a big threat.


    Aldridge used the last substitution in the 80th minute.


    "Lampard played and replaced Pirlo, it seems that he is determined to defend in the end!"


    Aldrich stood behind the court with his hands behind his back, and Viali eagerly urged the players to attack and attack!


    However, after Lampard played, Chelsea''s offense was even less threatening. The penetration ball could not be scored, and he could only rely on a long-range shot or rushing to find the tall guy Flo.


    "At the end of the game, Millwall beat Chelsea 3-1 at the Lion''s Cave Stadium. The match lost its balance after Materazzi was sent off in the second half, but Millwall defended his hand through strict defense. Three points, Chelsea coach Viali''s expression was very unwilling after the game. He and Chelsea players should be in the same mood. After working hard for a season, they climbed to the top of the list and were beaten by Millwall. They want to enter the Champions League. In the game, Millwall crushed hope again. Of course, they still have the possibility of entering the top three in theory. At the riverside stadium, Arsenal defeated Middlesbrough 6:1 away, and the 36th round of the Premier League all At the end, Arsenal topped the standings, Millwall ranked second, behind the opponents in goal difference, Manchester United ranked third, 2 points away from the top of the list, Chelsea ranked fourth, 5 points away from the top, 3 from third Points, the last two rounds of the Premier League, don¡¯t miss it."

 Chapter 408： Finale and the top three fate

    After the game, Aldridge and Viali turned around and walked away without leaving the other side. They did not mean to shake hands.


    According to the situation in the final stage of the game, it would be nice if they did not clash again.


    Viali almost lost his gaze, Chelsea had no space to attack, and Millwall played several consecutive counterattacks and nearly lost the ball. This was not his expected scene. In the face of the stronger Millwall, once the other side strengthened The defense weakened the offense and Chelsea''s chances of scoring fell sharply.


    Aldridge didn''t want to be entangled with his opponent. He felt this kind of feeling, especially when Millwall suffered a continuous bus tactic at the beginning of last season, he was crazy on the sidelines.


    After the game press conference, Aldridge arrived a little later. He first went to the locker room to praise the players and let them sink their hearts. Regardless of Arsenal¡¯s score, both teams won, but Arsenal It was a wild victory. The gap in the goal difference is no longer a ball that can be pulled back, but it does not matter, as long as the last two games are won, Millwall will be able to reach the Premier League again.


    Viali first interviewed, angered Millwall''s passive attitude after being sent off, thinking that such a team even if it won the league title, it is a shame.


    When Aldridge sat down at the press conference, the reporters relayed Viali''s remarks to him intact and asked him to respond.


    "I don''t have much to say about Viali''s comment, but there is a problem. If Chelsea is leading 3-1, what will Chelsea do if there is one less player with 23 minutes left?"


    The reporters at the scene smiled.


    In fact, Viali¡¯s anger was more like the out of control of Kevin Keegan after he was angry and angry.


    I want to win!


    Not only want to win too much, but also can not afford to lose!


    After losing this game, Chelsea basically declared that they missed the Champions League next season.


    They are three points behind Manchester United, and it is impossible to catch up with the top three teams in the goal difference. Even if the top three lose one game in the last two rounds and win one game, Chelsea have won two games and have no chance to enter the top three.


    "Can you talk about Millwall''s penalty and red card?"


    The subtext is: the referee!


    Aldrich said seriously: "There is no problem with penalty kicks and no problem with red cards. The referee played very fair today. I think he did well."


    On the referee issue, the head coach''s speech has always been a restricted zone, but since someone asked, Aldridge responded with a diplomatic decree, as long as the FA will not impose a penalty on Materazzi''s suspension, he has nothing to complain.


    "Matrazi''s tackle was directed at the ball, but Zola moved faster. Materazzi failed to tackle the opponent. The referee''s red card was the correct penalty, but it was not a malicious foul or Behaviors against the spirit of sports."


    Aldrich¡¯s words were to reduce Materazzi¡¯s sentence so as not to make a big fuss for the FA.


    "In the same round, Charlton and Blackburn had a draw and announced that they had relegated with Nottingham Forest two rounds ahead of time. Everton had landed. Will you be a guest to face them in the next round? Won''t you easily win? "


    The news surprised Audridge quite.


    Is Charlton and Blackburn tied?


    Ha ha, both sides hurt.


    No matter who wins the two teams, there is still the possibility of relegation, but after a tie, the two teams will be handed down to the Premier League.


    Aldridge said lightly: "Maybe it is good news, maybe not, Everton can face the game without pressure, but after all, the next home game is their last home game this season, they will fight for the fans, if we because The other side succeeded in relegation and despised them, maybe 90 minutes later we can only leave with sadness from Goodison Park."


    ...


    There are only two rounds left in the Premier League, and there seems to be a **** above the sky of England who is debating who can laugh to the end.


    Fleet Street launched various debates, guessing, and simulating any results of the last two rounds of the three teams competing for the championship to preview the championship.


    Millwall killed Chelsea and kicked the opponent out of the championship group. They and Arsenal are on par with each other in the probability of winning the championship. Manchester United are chasing afterwards. Many people look forward to what will happen to the most exciting season in history. Come to an end!


    On May 7, the Millwall team arrived in Liverpool, drove to the Goodison Park Stadium, and challenged Everton as a guest.


    In the league played the previous day, Manchester United had a difficult 1-0 away victory over Middlesbrough and returned to the top of the standings, but no Manchester United fans will be pleasantly surprised by this result. They are watching the other two games with great heart. ''S live broadcast, praying that Millwall and Arsenal will both encounter Waterloo.


    Before the game, Aldridge encouraged the morale of the team in the locker room.


    "I know this is a difficult season. Before the season started, we had six important members leaving. At the beginning of the season, there were a few players who could only sit in the stands to cheer for us. Tribulation and difficulties have made our willpower more tenacious. After overcoming all kinds of difficulties, we still maintain hope for the championship. The Champions League is unfortunately out of the game. It doesn¡¯t matter. We will make a comeback next season, but now is not a time to relax, only this season. In the next three games, each of them is the final! Under such a big scene, take out your fighting spirit of a season of hard work, completely release the determination of the strong, reward yourself with the champion, and let yourself have a happy The holiday, even years later, can be enjoyed secretly in my heart."


    Aldridge''s words just fell, and all the players in the locker room stared at him with strange eyes.


    Aldrich touched his nose and asked curiously: "Is there something on my face? Why is looking at me like this?"


    He also touched his mouth, thinking that he forgot to wipe his mouth after eating.


    Schneider said weirdly, "Boss, are you questioning our fighting spirit?"


    The others nodded.


    They are not children.


    There are only three games left. The field is very important. All wins and won two trophies. It is also the two most important trophies in England.


    Who the **** doesn''t want to add a glorious record to the honor book?


    Although the FA Cup, they have won the league championship.


    But when I look back on my career when I retire, who doesn¡¯t want the honor book to be filled with all kinds of awards, big and small?


    Aldrich raised his hand to make a surrender, and smiled: "Well, I apologize, when I said all nonsense, but I hope you don''t give me a chance to go crazy."


    The whole team of players laughed and then put away their smiles, their eyes became greedy and hungry like a hungry beast.


    At Goodison Park Stadium, Millwall players showed a clear intention to overpower their opponents.


    Everton has just succeeded in relegation. Although it is the last home game, the degree of fight is limited. Their best fight is in the previous stage of grabbing relegation. When the goal is reached, the spirit has been relaxed.


    As long as Millwall doesn''t fall off the chain, he will not give the opponent any chance to play away.


    In the first 21 minutes of the first half, Henry responded to Nedvide''s pass, pulled the ball horizontally, then turned and then started. After swinging the angle, he volleyed on the penalty line and the ball rolled into the bottom right corner of the goal against the turf.


    "Henry Henry scored a goal, he started playing center under Hall, and his performance is getting better and better. Because of his presence, Fanny sitting on the bench seems reasonable."


    Before the end of the first half, Glencharne was saved after a long shot, Larsson followed up to make up the shot, Millwall lead Everton 2:0.


    Walked into the locker room at halftime, Aldridge let the team play in the second half, two goals in hand, don''t have to score, as long as they don''t lose the ball, don''t downsize, they can meet the Premier League finale in a better state.


    Everton''s performance in the second half was still not improving, but Millwall was also actively controlling the rhythm, and the game rate began to drop. Until the end of the game, Nedvide added icing on the outside foot, making the team 3 on the road: 0 victory.


    Just after the game, Aldridge got unexpected news.


    Arsenal, lost.


    Who is the opponent lost to?


    The White Rose of Yorkshire: Leeds United!


    Even if the Premier League entered the final battle immediately, Leeds United could not go up and down, sitting firmly in the fifth position in the standings, but Leeds United still became the focus of England.


    O''Reilly became a prominent figure for a while, and the young imperial guard Leeds United became the focus.


    Ping Millwall first, then Manchester United, and then at such a critical time, the leader Arsenal was cut off in one fell swoop.


    It is said that Chelsea is a giant killer, and in just one month, Leeds United kicked three different league leaders from the top of the list three times.


    With the rise of Manchester United Class 92 and Millwall Class 95, plus Wenger''s Arsenal has also begun to update and boldly enable young people, Leeds United has emerged this season, Fleet Street has begun to "whether to use young people as the team + The model of excellent coach can achieve success quickly"


    The 37th round of the Premier League is over.


    Crazy lion fans are happy.


    Millwall topped the standings.


    The fire of hope in the hearts of the Red Devils is burning.


    Before the 37th round, Manchester United ranked third, now, Manchester United ranked second, two points behind Millwall, one point ahead of Arsenal, as long as the last round Arsenal can be undefeated at the Lions Stadium, Manchester United in Old Trafford To win, the league champion may still come to Old Trafford.


    Chelsea fans were sad.


    Already had no expectations of entering the Champions League next season, but the result of Arsenal''s loss could have rekindled their hopes, but Chelsea themselves did not struggle, in the same round of the London Derby, in White Hart Lane 2:2 Tottenham draw, Chelsea''s 4-point gap from Arsenal directly declares the end of the league. If they can win Tottenham next season, if they can win Tottenham, they are only 2 points away from Arsenal...


    Before the close of the Premier League, the championship situation became clear.


    Millwall leads Manchester United by 2 points and Arsenal by 3 points.


    Millwall have the same goal difference as Manchester United. Arsenal lead Manchester United by one.


    Fleet Street was mad with excitement, and the final round of the game was still confusing for them.


    Millwall won and won.


    Millwall won, Manchester United won, and Manchester United won the championship.


    Millwall, Manchester United won, Millwall won the championship.


    Millwall lost, Manchester United won, Arsenal won!


    The fate of the top three is in the hands of Millwall.


    Arsenal''s hopes of winning the championship are slim, and Manchester United definitely hope that Arsenal can fight off or tie Millwall.


    On May 15, the Premier League finale kicked off.


    The relegated team has been generated in advance, and no one is interested.


    The news that Premier League champion Blackburn said goodbye to the Premier League and fell into the Premier League four years ago is also outdated.


    Nottingham Forest and Charlton still haven''t been able to stick to one more season at the top.


    The finale, the British-focused game, bears the brunt, the London Derby!


    Millwall sits at the Lion''s Den Stadium against the defending champion Arsenal!


    Who will kill deer, see you in 90 minutes!

 Chapter 409： Not seen after the game!

    Lion Cave Stadium.


    Less than 10 minutes from the start of the Premier League finale.


    Aldrich stood on the sidelines and looked up at the sky. Rarely there is a sunny day in London today, which makes people feel good.


    With the cheering of fans cheering in the ears, the passion in the stands can easily infect everyone present.


    Wenger appeared on the sidelines, which is a little different from the fact that he used to come to the court about 20 minutes earlier. Presumably for today''s game, he was also chatting with the players in the locker room for a while.


    Aldridge took the initiative to Wenger.


    "Alsena, have you ever thought about this day? I and you are competing for the championship at the last minute."


    Wenger consciously took Aldridge''s hand, and he was surprised by the smile on Aldridge''s face at the moment.


    He could clearly feel that it was not disguise.


    why?


    Millwall hasn''t steadily won the league title, is he just so confident?


    Or, Wenger heard the loud singing reverberating in the stands.


    He thought that Aldridge is a different kind of coaching.


    Not because of his youth or record, but his teaching environment, no pressure!


    Fans will not put pressure on Aldridge, and no one can fire him. In the club, he can completely enjoy the joy of being a head coach at this moment.


    Fighting for the championship, the Premier League, or the most exciting season in the English Premier League, Millwall withstood the pressure and stuck to the last moment, only 90 minutes away from the championship.


    Wenger has also met many opponents, some of them are clever, some of them are unpredictable, and some of them are arrogant, which may make him deeply shocked and fearful. Perhaps the smile in front of him has shown the bottom card. Aldridge.


    He was full of energy, and it was not difficult to guess Millwall''s tactics and posture today.


    Attack!


    Millwall is going to win the league championship. At this moment, any calculations will appear pale. If you fail to do so, you will mislead yourself and ruin your future. You will forget all the "conspiracy" of the stadium. The battle lost at the last moment, Aldridge did not regret it, at least it was not a kneel kneel! No regrets afterwards.


    "This may be one of the most memorable moments in my coaching career."


    Wenger talked to Aldridge and said frankly that there was nothing to hide.


    Aldrich also said sincerely: "Arsenal, you surprised me this season. I did not like Arsenal before the season. Everyone knows that if Arsenal can beat Millwall today, no matter whether they win the championship, I will Become a laughing stock in football."


    Wenger shook his head and said, "No, your prediction before the season was correct. Arsenal really did not have the strength to support the two-line battle. It''s just that we have been out of the Champions League early to stay in the league until now. Today''s situation is really true. It''s frustrating, I want to defeat you, Arsenal will defeat the rival in the same city, Millwall, and then hope to be on our dead enemy Tottenham, hoping that they will attack Manchester United at Old Trafford, hehe, destiny, **** it ."


    "Oh, 90 minutes later, I invite you to drink, and stay here to drink Millwall''s champagne."


    "Arsenal celebrated their defending success at Lion''s Cave Stadium, and you wouldn''t mind it, right?"


    "Hahaha, no see after the game!"


    "Well, I won''t see you after the game!"


    The two coaches were on the sidelines of the center line of the stadium, one to the left and the other to the right. Confidence appeared on their faces. This scene was filmed by the live camera and became a classic scene of this season. It was taken as one of the clips of the Premier League promo.


    "The 98-99 season of the Premier League finale is about to begin, and 20 teams will start 10 games at the same time. The most concerned game is naturally the London Derby staged at the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium. The top ranked Millwall and the top ranked Arsenal of the third will be here to fight for the championship battle! Millwall¡¯s situation is simple and clear. As long as they win, they are the league champions. If Arsenal want to win, in addition to defeating Millwall here, they also expect Manchester United can¡¯t beat Tottenham, huh, who made the situation today? Arsenal accidentally lost to Leeds United in the last round. This should be the last game Wenger should not lose this season. The game, but the young Leeds United has become the biggest spoiler of the championship, it seems that Millwall fisherman Deli, but it is thought that Leeds United only allowed Millwall to score 1 point this season, it is estimated that Millwall is right Leeds United is love and hate."


    "Both players entered the field and today the two teams sent the strongest lineup to play.


    Millwall, 433.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.


    Midfielders: Makelele, Pirlo, Nedved.


    Strikers: Larson, Henry, Glenshire.


    The only regret for Millwall here is that Ronaldinho was injured in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals. He needs to be cured for a month. He is sitting in the stands behind the coach of the home team to watch the game today.


    Arsenal, 442.


    Goalkeeper: Seaman.


    Guards: Winterburn, Keon, Adams, Dixon.


    Midfielders: Ovimas, Petit, Vieira, Pires.


    Forwards: Bergkamp, ??Anelka.


    The teenager Anelka has scored 17 goals in the league this season. He is tied with Andy Cole. Only four people in front of him, Irving, Hasselbaink, York, these three Everyone scored 18 goals, Fanny scored 20 goals and topped the scorer list, maybe Fanny did not have the chance to play today, Anelka has the opportunity to compete for the golden boots, as long as he can stage a hat trick, this difficulty is a bit Big, but worthy of our expectations, this is a season in which his performance deserves everyone''s appreciation. "


    The players on both sides are already on the field, and the referee grinds for a long time to kick off with Old Trafford.


    After the referee whistled, the two teams immediately started a fierce fight.


    Aldridge stood on the sidelines with a slightly chin on his side and his expression was slightly arrogant. Millwall was similar to his posture. After the opening, he pressed it up and launched a high position to snatch. After a successful steal, he immediately hit a fast break.


    At first glance, Millwall''s players are concentrated in the midfield and backcourt to the area in front of the opponent''s penalty area. No one directly withstands Arsenal''s strike line, but as long as they get the ball to start the fast break, Millwall''s frontcourt attack group will Will immediately expand the formation, interspersed with running positions.


    Millwall is in a violent attack, and Arsenal is playing a defensive counterattack that they have been very successful in recent seasons. Arsenal''s goals conceded this season so far have averaged 0.5 per game! Don''t say that it is the best Premier League game, and even fewer than the Serie A giants with chain defense, the number of goals dropped is very small!


    Grenchar took the ball on the left and took it inside and out of the penalty area. Winterbourne was cheated. After the ball was smashed by Glenchard, the ball went to the bottom. Winterbourne went back and blocked the opponent. Foot pass.


    Once again Glennshire stopped and changed direction, Winterburn was connected twice, and suddenly felt regretful.


    forget!


    This kid **** won''t pass!


    It can''t be said that Glenshire will not cross, but the quality of his cross is desperate.


    Aldridge asked Mullenstein to focus on the technical skills of Glennshire in the combination of man and ball and long-range shooting. He could not expect Glennchard to pass, shoot, break... everything was perfected. Not having the energy to fully exercise, but also limited by talent.


    Grenchar turned back into the penalty area again. Before Petit came back to defend him, he did not have a shooting angle, so he gently pushed the ball to Pirlo who was inserted later.


    Pirlo took the ball outside the penalty area, pulled the ball down to his right foot, and then it seemed to move slowly and kick his leg.


    The ball jumped up, drawing a beautiful arc of inward rotation in the sky, and then a clear voice reached the ears of everyone in and outside the penalty area.


    when.


    "The goal is scored! In the first 8 minutes, Pirlo opened the record for Millwall! He made a shot from the spot after passing the pass from the outside of the penalty area. This is a banana ball. Seeing the ball spin out of bounds, he hit The goal post hit the goal, Seaman can only look at the ball, Pirlo, Mr. Key, this is his fifth league goal of the season. Considering that he missed all the games of the first half of the season, this data is already very Beautiful."


    Pirlo turned around after scoring a goal, raised his arms, and looked confident, Southgate rushed up to hug him, and every fan of Lions Stadium was shaking with excitement for the goal In addition, countless female fans made huge screams.


    In the court box, Arthur let his grandson Bowen ride on his neck and danced rhythmically.


    "Haha, there is nothing to worry about. We will beat Arsenal to win the championship. There is no need to tell me from Manchester United. They will only be the runner-up, hahaha."


    Puskas stood in front of the box overlooking the stadium, his eyes focused on the sidelines of the suit and leather and Klinsmann embraced and celebrated Audric.


    His eyes are full of tenderness and kindness.


    It seemed as if I could see the hairy kid who defeated Aldridge with passive tactics combined with sneak attacks.


    Now, are you happy?


    In this sport, only happiness is the motivation to move forward.


    Wenger stood on the sideline with his arms crossed, he was watching the expressions of the players.


    Arsenal''s hopes of winning the championship are slim. His biggest worry is that the players will be discouraged after losing the ball first.


    At this moment, the assistant came from behind and whispered in Wenger''s ear: "Tottenham scored, Manchester United trailed 0:1 at Old Trafford."


    Wenger''s wide-eyed eyes were full of incredible.


    He turned his eyes and immediately said to the assistant: "Tell this news to the players on the court!"


    The assistant immediately rushed to the sidelines and shouted to the players.


    "Oh, we got the latest news. Manchester United actually fell behind at home to Tottenham! Old Trafford now has a score of 0:1, but Millwall also scored, Millwall leads, if Manchester United Can¡¯t reverse the victory, then Millwall only needs a draw to win the league title, and the current situation is extremely beneficial to Millwall!"


    The fans in the stands also heard the news, and the enthusiasm for celebration was upgraded to another level!


    Arsenal players communicated the latest news to each other, and their spirits were immediately restored before the kick-off, and the fighting spirit was high!


    Unexpectedly, the rival Tottenham had such a force, and advanced the ball at Old Trafford!


    As long as Manchester United won, Arsenal will definitely have a chance.


    The game time is still long!


    After the kick-off, Arsenal immediately organized the offensive, and their positional combat cooperation was indeed not ideal, so the offense was concentrated on the side of Ovimas, relying on the Dutch Peter Pan alone to open the Millwall defense line gap, in order to To drive the offensive.


    "This is a more open game than expected. We all thought Millwall would play conservatively before the game, using Arsenal to urgently attack to counterattack, but Millwall did not withdraw to play defensive counterattack, but After the attack, the game becomes very fast, the offensive and defensive transition is fast, the two teams play simple and direct attacks, and they are brilliant."

 Chapter 410： Big battle

    Arsenal took the lead in conceding the ball. The reason was the opportunity created by Glenchard on the left. Arsenal quickly adjusted the defensive strategy and succeeded in limiting Glenchart''s performance for a period of time.


    This kid''s ball combined with dribbling is an advantage, and the disadvantages are also obvious. As long as the defensive player can prevent him from cutting inwards, he can basically pass the bottom pass and basically declare the defense successful.


    After a period of observation, Aldridge made adjustments on the sidelines.


    Let Glencharr and Larson swap positions, Glencharr shifts to the right, and then Schneider sets up to assist him in the offense, so that the side attack can change more.


    He did not dare to let Zambrotta from the left go directly to assist. After all, there is an Ovimas on the same side, and the threat is too great.


    With such an adjustment, the entire offensive will be rejuvenated and no side will be frozen.


    In the 23rd minute of the game, Millwall intercepted the ball in the middle, Southgate intercepted Vieira''s straight ball to Bogkamp, ??then passed the frontcourt to retreat to Larsen, Larsen backed Wen Terbourne, swept the ball directly to the other side, Glennshire took the ball and drove it forward, Dixon defended him inwardly, after stopping the ball, he flicked the ball to the right and Schneider put it on and took it away The ball passed directly to the bottom. Henry nodded the ball and failed to get the goal. Seaman reached out and blocked it.


    The ball that popped out of the penalty area landed at Petit''s feet. He was about to turn around. Nedvide extended a kick from the back to poke the ball to the penalty area. Henry hit the ball horizontally, Larsen cut into the ball and shot directly. Hope Mann made another successful save. Arsenal''s morale was greatly boosted by two successful saves.


    Seaman hugged the ball and threw it to Adams. The latter made a long pass to the frontcourt. Bogkamp retreated to the court to stop the ball and walked straight into the left.


    Schneider''s back defense wasn''t in place yet, and Piret passed the ball directly across Millwall''s entire line of defense.


    But he was on the sidelines, so Millwall''s defense had enough time to retreat.


    Pires drove the ball diagonally into the penalty area. When Materazzi was back in place and was ready to snatch, Pire stopped the ball and passed it back to Anelka who followed up.


    "Will Anelka shoot? Or break? Pass! Anelka passes the ball to Bogkamp, ??who plugs in!"


    After Bogkamp led the ball, he broke through from Southgate directly. Southgate was originally marked against Anelka. Makelele withdrew from the penalty area to defend Bogkamp from the front. The latter skillfully turned to protect the ball Turning back again, the toe pokes the ball after the fake movement, the ball rolls towards the back of the goal, and Bout goes to chase the ball, but Pire, who is in front of the goal, reaches the back to sweep the ball into the goal net.


    "Arsenal equalized the score! The goal scorer was Pires. I don¡¯t know whether Bogkamp was shooting or passing. In short, Pires scored the goal and scored the goal. The goal was very beautiful. Arsenal saw it. Hope to win!"


    After scoring, Piret just celebrated with his teammates in a low-key manner, and then walked with the teammates to the backcourt.


    Either way, he is a player who walked out of Millwall. As a regular guest, he will visit Aldridge in the dressing room about an hour before the game to show respect and gratitude.


    Today is the battle for the championship, he did not go to the Millwall locker room, but did not celebrate after the goal.


    Aldridge¡¯s expression did not change at all.


    Henry and Larson missed the opportunity and turned around. Arsenal counterattacked to equalize the score. At this moment, Arsenal''s ability to grasp the opportunity was slightly stronger than Millwall.


    Don''t be discouraged, just continue attacking.


    If you want to completely limit Arsenal''s offense, then Millwall can only play a defensive counterattack, but Arsenal can also play a defensive counterattack. It is difficult to say whether Millwall can win the game.


    Now I am taking risks, not taking risks, why should I compete for the league championship?


    Arsenal seemed to overshadow Millwall after equalizing, and the offense played a bit fierce.


    In the 38th minute, Ovimas flicked Larsson''s back defense on the wing, and then tried to break through Zambrotta. The Italian clung to Peter Pan. After being pressed, he predicted that the other party would stop. At the moment when he stopped the ball and was about to turn, Zambrotta stretched his foot to break the ball, then drew the ball forward, Larson also started to rush forward, Zambrotta passed the middle to Pirlo, and Pirlo stopped After the ball, a precise ball was inserted into Larsson''s free rib.


    Keon posted Larson to block the opponent''s shooting space, but Larson spoiled the pace of the ball and pulled away from the opponent''s defense before pretending to shoot.


    Keon posted it again to block his shot. Larson accelerated to break through the opponent''s defense, almost facing the goalkeeper with a single pole, but the angle seemed to be very small.


    Larson passed the ball unexpectedly. The ball didn''t move fast, but crossed the front door. At the later point, Nedved almost jumped towards the goal post, and then the header hit the ball into the goal!


    Vieira''s hands, which followed Nedved, patted his thighs.


    When Larson crosses, Nedved starts first, and Vieira keeps up, where can he keep up!


    Who would have thought Larson would not shoot?


    "Nedved scored! His 17th goal in the league! Unbelievable statistics. As a midfielder, Nedved has scored 17 goals in the league this season! This ball reflects the pull The tacit agreement between Jensen and Nedved was terrible. Nedved seemed to be injured. He hit the goal post after a successful header, and he demonstrated his bravery with action! But at this price, Is it too big?"


    Nedved scored a goal, and the stands were jubilant, but the Lions Stadium quickly and quietly fell down, and the fans of the lion stared with anxiety at Nedved, who fell in front of Arsenal.


    He will never fall easily. If he cannot fall to the ground, he must be injured!


    Millwall''s players were around Nedved, and Aldridge couldn''t laugh from the sidelines.


    When Nedved stood up, there was a wave of applause from the stands.


    Nedved pressed his right shoulder with one hand, it appeared that his shoulder was injured when he hit the post.


    When he came to Aldridge, he said directly: "Boss, I''m fine. I can continue the game with a fixed shoulder."


    The team doctor told Aldridge that Nedved had a dislocated shoulder and may have a slight bone fracture.


    Aldridge turned his head and said to Nedved: "You have a rest, I have the final say, even if I lose the game, I will not regret it. You can blame me, but my decision will not change."


    Nedved and Aldridge stared at each other for three seconds, and finally reluctantly accepted the decision to be replaced.


    Will he blame Aldridge?


    Even if you think about it, it is difficult to raise such a psychology.


    Before changing to Lampard, Aldridge gave him simple and clear instructions on the sidelines.


    "When defending, put yourself in the midfield, you can return to the penalty area, when attacking, you put yourself in the forward, you understand?"


    Aldridge doesn¡¯t use Lampard as a midfielder anymore. I don¡¯t know why. Lampard¡¯s direct impact on the goal from the midfielder position was unsatisfactory. Letting him play Pirlo¡¯s bench, he unexpectedly plugged it in and back up. Better, just a little lack in organizational creativity.


    Lampard nodded solemnly.


    "Millwall made a passive substitution in the 40th minute. The teenager Lampard played to replace the injured Nedved. The score is 2:1, and Millwall is very optimistic about winning the championship."


    After Lampard played, Millwall had to stabilize the negative impact of morale brought by Nedved''s injury, so the overall formation contracted first.


    In the last half of the first half, Arsenal took possession of the ball, but did not play a threatening offensive. After being released by Millwall three times in a row, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half.


    Aldridge saw the signs at least at the last moment.


    Arsenal can¡¯t be allowed to attack aggressively. In other words, Millwall can¡¯t play a defensive counterattack. As long as the opponent is strong in fighting spirit, it may be more difficult for them to attack, but if they accumulate a certain degree of strength, they may score.


    Aldridge doesn''t need to inspire the team''s morale at halftime, but it must be adjusted tactically.


    The replacement of Ronaldinho by Glenchard on the court reduced the offensive flexibility. Lampard replaced Nedved, which made Millwall''s offensive flexibility drop by one block. Aldridge needs to renew Arrange your offensive strategy.


    After the halftime break, the players from both sides walked out of the player channel and returned to the court. The fans in the stands kept their enthusiasm and cheered Millwall with the greatest momentum to suppress Arsenal''s momentum.


    Arsenal kicked off in the middle circle, after a simple pass, Anelka took the ball in the frontcourt, took the ball for two steps and chose a long shot in the first 40 yards of the penalty area!


    The quality is extremely high.


    Fortunately, Bout was focused and blocked the ball with one palm.


    "Wow, Anelka almost hit the world wave!"


    Arsenal went to corner kicks and the defenders all came up to participate in corner offenses.


    Overmars kicked the ball out, and a figure jumped out of the crowd, grabbing a point and headering the goal.


    This time Bout had no choice but the opponent had a close corner and was still dead.


    "Adams! Arsenal captain Adams header header, he equalized again for Arsenal, just opened the second half, Arsenal rewrite the score, 2:2, they are not far from the league champion! Wait, at Old Trafford News came from Germany that Manchester United also scored a goal at the beginning of the second half. The score of Manchester United and Tottenham is now 1:1. Millwall, Arsenal, Manchester United, there is still hope of winning the championship. If Manchester United wins, this The game is a draw and Manchester United will take the league title!"


    Just a few seconds after Wenger celebrated the team''s goal, the assistant ran up to tell him the situation at Old Trafford. Wenger''s expression suddenly changed from joy to a bit depressed.


    Spurs are working on wool.


    Put the bus when you are ahead, put the bus!


    With so much time left now, Manchester United equalized the score, and still at home, how much resistance can Tottenham have?


    Adams'' goal, and Manchester United equalized the score, a small number of fans in the stands began to worry.


    The score was equalized at the beginning of the second half. Millwall''s players were not affected. They did not care about the score process at Manchester United.


    Today''s game with Arsenal is the final!


    And it is the final that must be won in 90 minutes!


    Arsenal''s momentum has come up completely, but Millwall is not weak, and strengthened the fight in the midfield after restarting the ball.


    With Lampard and Makelele in front and behind, with Pirlo in between, Millwall¡¯s control of the midfield began to gradually gain the upper hand, and the routine in the offense was not difficult to predict. By using the transfer ball to involve the Arsenal defense line, once the rib space appears, Larsson and Glenshire will firmly advance to create a threat.


    The situation on the court has become somewhat stalemate, Millwall''s offensive routines are lacking in change, and offensive power has declined. Aldridge feels tricky. With this kind of transfer ball torn the ball straight, Arsenal this all-Europe this season They all envy the solid line of defense, which is estimated to be difficult to penetrate.

 Chapter 411： Countdown lore!

    The game time passed by one minute and one second, and the closing game at the Lion''s Cave Stadium made all the people concerned about the game nervous.


    Perhaps the next goal will determine the ownership of the league champion.


    Whether it is a fan of a crazy lion or a fan of a gunman, someone has closed his eyes and clasped his hands in front of him to pray to heaven.


    Aldrich never prays, even in his heart.


    After playing for 20 minutes in the second half, he made tactical adjustments decisively. He wanted to use a wide range of cuts to tear the Arsenal defense.


    He let the offense concentrate on the left!


    Larson, Henry, Lampard, and Pirlo frequently shot to the left to focus on suppressing Arsenal¡¯s right offense and defense, forcing Ovimas to retreat to participate in defense on a large scale, and also suppress Arsenal¡¯s right An offensive strategy, Schneider no longer stepped forward and assisted on the right, and successfully frozen Pires after 2:2.


    Arsenal''s away game, Wenger can make very few adjustments, defensive counterattack can only hit the center, but if the center can''t hold the ball, Arsenal''s counterattack can not play the power.


    Perhaps at this time, it depends on who made the mistake, who lost the position in the mark, who rushed to be broken through, and penetrated the opponent''s entire defense system in a small range.


    When the game came to the 80th minute, the physical fitness of Arsenal players obviously began to fail to keep up with Millwall, especially the back line. After all, it was a line of defense with an average age of over 34 years old.


    Millwall''s concentration on the left is actually purposeful, and he is violent!


    After suppressing and suppressing again, the number of Arsenal was equal at the beginning. With the decline in physical fitness, Larsen easily broke through the Winterborne pass and let Henry nearly break the goal. Arsenal will realize that they must More defense and less support right defense.


    The game became very tight. When the time came to the 89th minute, the fourth official played stoppage time on the sidelines: 3 minutes.


    "3 minutes! There will be 3 minutes left in the game. If it ends with the current score, Millwall will win the league championship trophy! Manchester United still has a 1:1 score."


    Aldridge is actually following up on the situation at Old Trafford in real time. Now the situation looks better. As long as Millwall draws and Manchester United draws, Millwall will win the league title.


    However, he can''t let the team back, he must attack!


    Now is the real adventure.


    Arsenal still haven''t given up, now they can achieve a big reversal and win the championship as long as they score a goal!


    "Wow! Manchester United kill Tottenham! 2:1, the news from Old Trafford tells us that Manchester United scored in the 90th minute! 2:1, 2:1, Manchester United are now just waiting for this The result of the game is over. As long as Millwall cannot win, Manchester United will win the league title! Who can guess the current situation? With 2 minutes left and 2 minutes left, will Millwall fall to the last minute? ?Arsenal has no chance! No!


    Just at Old Trafford, Ferguson celebrated the team¡¯s reversal happily. Tottenham¡¯s players no longer resisted. Manchester United started to waste their time. All their minds were put on the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium, eager to know The result over there.


    Ferguson and his assistant were whispering. The assistant listened to the radio broadcast and told Ferguson the score over there every 3 seconds.


    2:2!


    2:2! !


    2:2! ! !


    Ferguson frequently looked at his watch and muttered: "It''s **** 2:2!"


    At the Lion''s Cave Stadium, Wenger learned that Manchester United''s 2:1 Tottenham, and suddenly looked ashamed.


    Tottenham of grass mud horse!


    Did you deliberately play us?


    The fans of the two teams in the stands also got the news in the first time.


    Arsenal fans are frustrated.


    Even if they now kill Milwall, the league champion is not theirs.


    Millwall fans also suffered a mental blow.


    However, at this moment Brady turned his head and shouted to all the members of the Lions Roar fan organization: "Let''s call a word together!"


    Everyone looked at him, and most people thought Brady would tell them to slogan like cheer.


    However, Brady shouted loudly: "We shouted: Manchester United 2: 1 Tottenham!"


    Everyone immediately understood the meaning and understood the meaning of this sentence.


    In an instant, a deafening voice came from the Lion''s Cave Stadium.


    "Manchester United 2: 1 Tottenham!"


    "Manchester United 2: 1 Tottenham!"


    "Manchester United 2: 1 Tottenham!"


    ...


    Arsenal players on the field do not know the score of Manchester United, even if they can''t guess through the fan reaction, because if they don''t score, there will be no championship, and the fans will have a sense of loss.


    Of course, Wenger will not tell Manchester United the score on the side. Isn''t this a rock thrown on his feet?


    However, when the Lion''s Cavern Stadium echoed the sound of "Manchester United 2: 1 Tottenham", Arsenal''s players were suddenly struck by lightning.


    Malle Gobi, a rival enemy Tottenham, how about a good bus to snipe Manchester United?


    Sure enough, you can''t count on the enemy!


    Arsenal''s hope of winning the championship is completely shattered, but Millwall still has hope.


    Just when the morale of Arsenal players fell sharply, the time had come to the last minute of injury stoppage time.


    Zambrotta snatched Ovimas from behind and passed the ball to Larson in front. Larsen took the ball horizontally for two steps and then straightened the ribs. Henry took the ball diagonally from the middle to the left penalty area. , Half-turn without stopping the ball and sweep the ball to the right.


    "Arsenal''s left defense has a lot of free time. Glenchard got the ball in the penalty area before Dickson. Adams was coming over to block the angle of his shot. Glenchard knocked back to the top of the penalty area. Lampard followed Go in!"


    Both Vieira and Petit came to block Lampard''s long-range angle, but their apparent rate of rhythm had dropped significantly. Maybe it was physical fitness, or maybe the fighting spirit after the team''s hope of defeat was broken.


    Lampard calmly did not lift his feet at this moment, but gently pushed the ball sideways, and then inserted Pirlo took the lead to take the ball and go forward, directly breaking through the entire Arsenal defense line, single shot in the penalty area Facing goalkeeper Seaman.


    Seaman abandoned the goal and stepped forward to expand the defense area, Pirlo calmly pushed.


    This ball is worth a lot of money. He chose the safest way, at least he will never miss it!


    Too close, Seaman subconsciously shrank his legs as the ball rolled towards him, but it was still a step later. The ball rolled over between his legs and then straight into the goal.


    "Blood! Lore! Lore! Pirlo staged a lore! His shot penetrated Seaman''s door! Millwall crushed Manchester United''s dream of winning the championship at the last minute! Hero Pirlo, he is in this field The game scored twice!"


    The Lion''s Cave Stadium was boiling, and many fans cried with joy, and some even wanted to rush into the court to embrace the players.


    Pirlo rushed to the corner flag position before being celebrated and drowned in the crowd of teammates, and then they crushed into a mountain!


    Aldridge had learned of Manchester United''s lore, and his heart beat uncontrollably.


    Calm?


    Fuck, who is calm at this time?


    In order to stabilize his mind, he took two sips of mineral water and was drinking. Suddenly he saw Pirlo scoring a goal. He sprayed the water out in one gulp and then flicked the mineral water bottle as if he had hit the ball on the sidelines. child¡­¡­


    Then, Aldridge''s expression began to run wildly, rushing towards the players along the sideline.


    The ups and downs of life are too exciting!


    In the previous second, Manchester United lore, the next moment, Millwall lore!


    Aldridge had a messy hair style, a messy dress, and nearly fell, but he still ran to the players in a roar, just as Materazzi turned around, Aldridge jumped to a jump On the other side, Materazzi hugged his waist in front of him, and took two steps back to stabilize his body. I saw Aldridge single-handed waving above his head and roared: "Damn football, **** the goddess of luck, you are super Mad lion! Millwall, we are the champions, we are the strongest, we want the **** to let everyone bow down!"


    "Wow, Hall once again staged a passionate celebration to see his expression, just like the devil crawling back from hell. It turns out that handsome people will also have this expression. Hahaha, his team is absolutely Killing Arsenal will soon be crowned the Premier League again. This is very important for him and Millwall. Hall is very clear in his heart that he must make a difference this season and lose most of his main force. Under the circumstances, tell the outside world that Millwall will not collapse and will not withdraw from the competition between top teams, because Millwall still has him! This will give players confidence and will allow more excellent players to join Mill. Wall is full of longing. Today, Millwall has done it. As long as they win the championship, this season will last forever. The most fierce and exciting season in the English top league. Millwall beat Manchester United at the last minute. Arsenal , The top three Chelsea heroes win the league title!"


    Millwall''s players ended the stacking of Luohan, each player embraced Pirlo, and even Gattuso rushed from the bench to kiss Pirlo''s cheek.


    After Aldridge embraced Pirlo, Aldridge took off his messy suit, turned and threw it to the stands. After the fans scrambled, Aldridge continued to raise his arms to make the fans louder and witness together Millwall once again ascended the throne of the top league.


    Arsenal players stood akimbo, Wenger sat back on the coach seat.


    Unless Arsenal can score two goals next, otherwise their ranking will not change. Even if they score two goals, they will only get the runner-up. The good factor is that they will not have to play in the Champions League next season.


    When Aldridge walked back to the coach seat, he saw the assistants on the sidelines and some players surrounded him. He walked over curiously and saw Aguero standing innocently in the middle. The team doctor was bleeding his nose.


    Aldridge frowned: "What''s wrong with him?"


    Today, Aguero came to the court as a caddie, as did De Rossi. At this time, De Rossi laughed and said: "Boss, you smashed him!"


    Aldridge inexplicably said: "What''s about me?"


    Aguero wanted to cry without tears, still holding a murder weapon in his hand.


    Aldridge looked at it and suddenly laughed twice. Aguero was holding it. Wasn''t it the bottle of water he had just thrilled to throw away?


    At that time, the scene was also filmed by a live camera. There must have been a lens locked on the Audric at the scene. When he sprayed water and dropped the water bottle, the lens followed him. When the celebration was over and I looked back, I found it. When he dropped the water bottle, the water bottle with half a bottle of water directly hit Aguero standing on the sidelines and starting to run.


    Aguero was unlucky. He saw Pirlo scoring a goal and was too excited to run to celebrate. De Rossi rushed past.


    As a result, he just ran a step and felt the wind blowing in his ear. He turned his head and slammed. He was dizzy and splattered with blood, and then fell to the ground dizzy. The mineral water bottle flew into the air and fell slowly...


    Aldridge touched Aguero''s head, apologized, and then let him stay on the sidelines, waiting to celebrate the championship together.


    Looking back on the court, Arsenal''s players are ready to kick off, how much time is left in stoppage time? No one knows, only the referee grasps it.

 Chapter 412： Troubled times dominate the world!

    Arsenal''s players set the posture to restart the kick. They did not put up a string to prepare for a full-speed sprint, and Millwall did not put out a sign of the iron barrel to block the door in the penalty area.


    Originally, this critical moment to prevent opponents from counterattacks, Aldridge also practiced in training. The focus is not on how many defensive players accumulate in the penalty area, but on harassing the opponent to take the ball and blocking the opponent''s pass route in a layer. Empty the midfield and return to the vicinity of the forbidden area, that is a very dangerous situation.


    After Arsenal kicked the ball forward, Anelka took the ball from the back and was pulled by Marklele from the back to poke the ball. Henry withdrew to protect the ball.


    Well, the ball is kept steady.


    Aldridge came up with an idea on the sidelines: Uh, his ball was like Henry.


    Subconsciously, he laughed, he was Henry.


    After the opponent came to grab, Henry then passed the ball back to Lampard, Lampard couldn''t calm down, Vieira appeared in front of him, he immediately kicked the ball to the court with a big foot, no response Point, he deliberately opened the ball to the sideline of Arsenal''s backcourt.


    This choice is also correct. Rather than making mistakes, it is better to give the opponent a backcourt ball, which takes more time.


    The referee saw Arsenal''s players seemingly lacking enthusiasm for the sideline, and blew the whistle at the end of the match.


    "The 1998-1999 English Premier League ended perfectly! With Pirlo scoring the Arsenal in the 93rd minute, Millwall reversed at the last minute and won the top league title for the second time in Manchester United history! Why is it said to be a reversal? What? Because at 91 minutes, Manchester United ranked first in the real-time standings, but Manchester United only took 30 seconds to win the three-year league championship, and was eventually crushed by Hall¡¯s Millwall. Old Trafford must be immersed in the loss now, but the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium is unprecedentedly passionate, the fans in the stands flooded into the field, they are surrounded by players and coaches, throwing them to the sky, thanks The joy and glory they bring to fans this season! Congratulations Hall, Congratulations Millwall, two three-time Premier League trophy, one Winners Cup champion, one Champions League champion, plus one FA Cup, two For the League Cup champions, whether they can win the FA Cup final one week later, Millwall has proved that they will not sink like Blackburn, but continue to go forward and continue to hit the unfinished dreams, maybe crazy Lions fans will regret losing to Bayern Munich in the semi-finals, failing to achieve the great achievement of impacting the Triple Crown or defending the Champions League, but they will not be disappointed with Hall and this team. Millwall is young, passionate and rich Motivated, with dreams in mind, they will definitely make other strong opponents tremble in Europe. We are fortunate to witness the most fierce competition, the most exciting process, and the most exciting season in the English Premier League, and this is not the end. I think everyone and me, Martin ¡¤ Taylor¡¯s mood is the same, we have already begun to look forward to it, looking forward to this team that will be more mature and stronger in the future, and what greater glory can be created in Europe! Andy, do you agree to emerge now? One point in my mind is that Hall¡¯s Millwall is creating a dynasty of their own!"


    "Agree, absolutely agree! Since Millwall''s ascension to the Premier League, today''s league title, they have won eight championships in important events, two league championships, two FA Cup and League Cup, two European Wars The championship trophy, there is still no FA Cup final this year. If you count other awards such as the Super Cup, it is no exaggeration to say that Hall¡¯s Millwall won the championship and is worthy of the trophy harvester. But in addition to honors, I think that Hall¡¯s rapid improvement of various factors such as the team¡¯s play style, stars, and influence of the club¡¯s popularity is an important proof that they are developing a dynasty!¡±


    There were crowds of people in the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium, Aldridge and the players were surrounded by fans, some were thrown into the sky, some were hugged tightly by the tearful fans, and some crazy female fans took the opportunity to wipe the oil...


    Arsenal''s players and coaches left the game at the end of the game. Wenger and Audridge did not see each other after the game.


    At Old Trafford, Manchester United soldiers moistened on the sidelines to thank the fans, Ferguson kept shaking his head on the sidelines.


    Damn London team, Damn London team...


    Tottenham, Arsenal, Millwall, and three London teams are all objects of Ferguson''s curse.


    However, after leaving the game, Ferguson still took out his mobile phone and sent a congratulation message to Audridge, adding a sentence at the end: How much is Fanny?


    This season''s Premier League Golden Boot winner can only play a substitute at Millwall. It seems that as long as Henry and Ronaldinho do not leave the team next season, he will still be a substitute, Larson? Ferguson has not reported any expectations. If the Swedish striker hangs Milvolken on the transfer market, Manchester United will also win the pot and sell the iron. Unfortunately, the purchase has been rejected for several consecutive seasons, and Larson himself is firmly not tempted. , Ferguson can only give up.


    But Fanny, Ferguson may not be able to make the main promise, but the number of appearances can certainly be guaranteed, plus Fanny can give a better contract.


    Will Millwall give a new contract for Fanny¡¯s main player treatment?


    The same is a substitute, but Manchester United can earn much, and the higher position is also more hopeful, after all, Henry and York, Cole are more than five years old.


    ...


    The new FA President Thompson came to the Lion''s Cave Stadium to watch a false alarm.


    He finally realized how Wiseman was feeling in the Premier League over the past two years. It was really frightening.


    Manchester United also have the Premier League trophy, which is a replica. The authenticity is here in Millwall. The important guests for awards are also here. If Manchester United wins the championship, there will be trophy, but the award ceremony will be much shabby.


    Before the award, the fans returned to the stands and gleefully celebrated the team''s victory.


    The relatives of the players all appeared on the sidelines. Most of their children were still young, but they played innocently on the turf in a jersey with their own name printed on the father''s number. The ignorant young children must not know this now. What a moment means to their father, but their appearance will make everyone''s memory better.


    Before the award guest remembered his name, Aguero called Aguero to his side. KUN''s nose was stuffed with paper balls, and the bridge of his nose was red. I didn''t know if I had a painful cry just now. The corners of my eyes looked wet.


    Aldridge took his hand and walked into the room with a smile in the cheers of the audience.


    Aguero turned his head and grimaced at a group of friends before stepping on the red carpet.


    Messi sneered and gave a grimace, while De Rossi turned his head and said to Ronaldo: "Why is this kid so lucky?"


    Cristiano Ronaldo holding a ball pointed at Materazzi and said, "I gave him the ball, he smashed your face, and then you let him take you with you."


    ...


    Before leading Aguero to the podium, Aldridge let go of Aguero''s hand. Instead of rushing to receive the award, he stood in front of everyone and made a gesture of bowing and bowing with both hands.


    This season, they had a difficult start. They took a risky tactical change halfway through the league and became successful if they did not succeed.


    Aldridge could not have expected that the competition will be so cruel and fierce this season. The top team in the final stage is constantly changing, and even the victory and defeat are only known at the last minute.


    He is grateful to these players, and he is grateful to them from the heart.


    It''s them who made him. At this point, Aldridge won''t take pride in thinking that the world is his own fight.


    Thank you for their steady performance, for their exemplary professional qualities, and for their ambition in the big scene!


    All the team players applauded Aldridge. They also thanked the young coach, whether it was the first veteran who came to the team or the newcomer who joined or joined the first team in the new season.


    If there are any regrets in the league this season, then there is only one point: Ashley Cole and Paul Ferreira have no championship medals, and their appearances are not up to the mark.


    When Aldridge walked onto the podium, he first walked in front of the two young men and hugged them, saying something encouraging in their ears.


    Although the two have no medals, they are also very happy in today''s scene. The present glory does not belong to them, but they have the future, which is very worthy of expectation and longing for the future. Even, they can''t wait to wait for the new season to begin.


    Southgate won the championship trophy, echoing the championship song.


    Ronaldinho in casual clothes showed the best rookie of the season award, Fanny won the Golden Boot Award, Nedved won the best player of the season without dispute, not only scored 17 goals in the league, away from the Golden Boot With only three goals, and the player with the most assists throughout the season, Millwall has also won the individual awards this season, even if they do not win the championship.


    Aldridge stepped down from the podium, came to Aguero to squat down after taking a group photo, and sent his championship medal to Aguero¡¯s hand, smiling and said: "This medal is for you, it is just to me The unintentional loss as compensation."


    Aguero stared at the medal in his hand with luminous eyes, and he felt an excellent touch, and he looked very excited.


    Aldridge continued to smile again: "It belongs to you, but it is not your hard work. You can take it home to collect it, occasionally take a look and tell yourself that you will get one, two, three, more in the future. More medals that you can earn from your own hard work are a hobby of your own. Medal collectors can use it to show off with friends, make family proud of you, or take it out when you start a family. You are proud."


    Aguero showed a thoughtful expression, and then nodded heavily. Aldridge helped him hang the medal around his neck and patted his head with a smile: "Is there a star you like?"


    Aguero turned his head to look at Larson holding the child in the distance, and Audridge said: "Go and take a photo with him, he will not refuse you."


    Aguero rushed towards Larson, and his friends could not calm down.


    This gas is so good!


    A mineral water bottle smashed a champion medal!


    It''s really unpleasant to see him with a smug look on his face.


    Aldridge looked at Aguero''s back and smiled, turned around, and many reporters gathered around and began to interview his feelings about winning the championship.


    "This is an extraordinary season. I think it will be a player. The fans have always remembered a season in the future. The competition is more intense and intense than when we won the championship two years ago, but we persisted to the end and won the championship. With some momentum, we have always believed that we can win the championship. Without this persistent belief, we will not win the trophy at this moment. Although the league won, but our season is not over, now, I will put my mind In the FA Cup final."

 Chapter 413： Ronaldinhos obsession

    The league won the championship. Millwall''s team was on vacation for two days. In the evening, the three captains of the team organized a grand party and invited the team''s players to bring their families to participate.


    Aldridge went alone to a party that Carter specially organized for him at night. It looked like a kind of social celebrity upper class party. The handsome men and beautiful women gathered together. There was no sign of depravity and indulgence on the surface, but what would be the appearance in private , Who knows.


    Aldridge stood by the window smoking with a glass of wine. Carter was in the same position as him, with one arm pressed against the window sill and leaning against the other.


    "Why didn''t you see Ewen today?"


    Aldrich spit out the smoke and said unabashedly: "I''m hiding from her, and some things can''t be controlled."


    After more than a year of meeting Carter, a friend who had always seen him, Aldridge and he have been able to talk about each other, and they are intimate with each other. Everyone understands people and is sensible, and the topics between friends stay between friends. This is also the reason why Carter can become a celebrity in the social circle. It feels reliable and has a good reputation. He will never stab him in the back.


    Carter chuckled, turned his head to look around the banquet hall, and glanced at some beautiful girls who gazed at this side frequently, laughing: "You are the prey in the eyes of many people. It seems that the person who finally captured you is Yiwen. "


    "I don''t know, maybe it''s just a man''s character, I don''t hide it, I have been abstinent for almost a year."


    Aldrich could feel that there were a lot of strangers'' eyes locked on him, so he came here to smoke.


    Carter was stunned and surprised: "Are you even masturbating?"


    Aldridge shrugged: "That''s true, once every three days."


    "Only once every three days? Do you know our bank financial trader once every few days?"


    "Ok?"


    "Three times a day! They say that the financial market is too exciting, and the mood is easily ups and downs, and you must always let your blood flow, or just forget everything and get a brief relaxation."


    Aldridge said thoughtfully: "If I have to lead a team to play every day, and play at least two games a day, I estimate it will be three times a day."


    Carter stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud.


    His laughter attracted the attention of others. Everyone was curious about what Carter and Aldridge were talking about, and their eyes were full of envy.


    Even though many people on the scene knew Aldridge, the relationship did not reach a certain level. When communicating with Aldridge, most of them were just formal greetings.


    Carter looked at the night scene outside the window and smiled, "Are you still motivated?"


    "Yes, but I have already felt that my mind is not completely on football, or that the motivation is not enough as it was five years ago."


    "If you go to coach the England national team, will you rekindle your passion?"


    "Oh, I guess there is no chance."


    "The national team led by Hoddle performed very well in the European Cup qualifiers. He was under a lot of pressure. As a fan, I don''t like him, and England can hardly find a good coach who can take over the national team."


    "You can hire foreign coaches. There are not many good coaches in the world."


    "Impossible! England, we are talking about England, the proud and proud England of the British people, let foreign coaches lead? Ha ha ha, this is a big joke."


    Aldrich thought for a moment.


    If he remembers correctly, England later hired Eriksson as coach.


    Isn¡¯t Eriksson English?


    After thinking, he was relieved again.


    Of course, historical facts are like that, but the process does not necessarily come naturally.


    After living in the UK for so many years, he should have been immersed in the English football world. He should have known that after 2000, no matter how arrogant England is, it can''t afford to be noble.


    There is no way to find a local coach who can do it, and a really talented coach like Bobby Robson, who once coached the national team, has declared that it cannot be done again.


    who cares.


    It has nothing to do with yourself.


    "What are your plans for summer? Do you travel like last year?"


    "No, I''m going to buy a house in Liverpool. Melanie has a baby around August. Anyway, I should always be with her at this time."


    Carter suddenly realized this, and said, "Oh, I almost forgot, also for this reason, so you are hiding from Yiwen now?"


    Aldridge nodded and said: "Well, I don''t care what other people think of me, but at this time, in case my animal is making a big deal, um hum, um hum, I will definitely feel guilty afterwards. Thank God, the season is still It''s over in 7 days."


    "Boys and girls?"


    "Boy, two."


    "twin?"


    "Ok."


    "Congratulations."


    "I wish it was a dragon and a phoenix."


    Aldrich talked about his upcoming child, and his expression suddenly softened.


    But Carter seemed to deliberately cause trouble for him, so he asked, "What about her having children?"


    After a long silence, Aldridge said: "I don''t know. Before she came, she called me and talked a little. She would have another record with three other babes to see the market reaction. The child lives in Liverpool and her parents take care of it. , I can visit at any time, fucking, it makes me very uncomfortable, I feel like a shameless father. But I can¡¯t bargain with her, and in the end it will be unhappy, everyone is not Happy."


    "If you were a woman, it is estimated that like her choice, wouldn''t your child be kept in your own home? You are not going to marry her."


    "I don''t want to marry, but I want to marry a wife, not a lover who meets once a month."


    "Oh, who made you and her both celebrities. Don''t talk about it anymore, it just seems to make you more and more unhappy, I don''t want to hear you complain all night. By the way, I heard your big brother is in The US has made a lot of good investments. How much did your big brother invest in Google, which was established last year?"


    Aldridge recalled that every time he saw Barnett, he talked about his career in the United States.


    "It seems to be 500,000 US dollars. He is actually an investment model that spreads over the Internet. As long as he is connected to the Internet and emerging ideas, his company will invest generously, attracting many entrepreneurs to come to apply for investment."


    Since Barnet specifically set the company''s development direction a few years ago, he has actively launched targeted investments. He can only invest. Just like investing in Microsoft, he does not need to manage the company or worry about talents. Just invest the money in the right Places, profits will roll in.


    Before the establishment of GOOGLE in 1998, Barnett invested 500,000. Maybe ten years later, twenty years later, it will become more than 3 billion US dollars.


    Carter suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Three months ago, the first online bank started business. Do you think this will be the future trend?"


    "Of course, because the Internet will continue to grow and develop, and the speed of popularization will be very fast. When people can''t do without computers, they can''t do without the Internet, they will naturally sit in front of the computer to consume, in fact, our club''s souvenir online sales trend reflects At this point, the difference is that it is still by mail order. Registered members need to send money to the club account by bank transfer, and then provide information to confirm, we will then mail the designated goods, another angle, if the registered member can sit in front of the computer directly through the network Bank transfer payment not only improves efficiency, but also makes people feel simple and relaxed. In fact, many people give up buying our fan souvenirs because they are too lazy to go to the bank to transfer money. We are also waiting for the network banking system to mature and then find One company to cooperate."


    The card nodded and agreed with it.


    The two chatted casually for more than an hour, and before the separation, Carter sent a bottle of good wine to Audridge, and Audridge returned a jersey signed by the team players to him.


    Aldridge drove home by himself.


    At the door of the house, he accidentally saw Ronaldinho sitting on the ladder in front of the door and playing with his mobile phone. Aldrich thought he was texting with someone. As a result, he saw that he was playing a very simple mobile game with a high score. High, it seems to be a master.


    "Boss, I have something to tell you."


    Ronaldinho put away his mobile phone and stood up. Under the moonlight, Ronaldinho''s expression was very solemn.


    Aldridge was startled.


    Would you come to tell me that you want to transfer?


    Aldrich took out the key with solemn expression and opened the door of the house, turned on the light and put the wine that Carter gave him directly on the shoe cabinet near the door. His mood was suddenly bad because every time a player like Ronaldinho came to him , Basically is the showdown to be transferred.


    Ronaldinho sat down, and Aldridge also sat on the single sofa. With one hand on his head, he adjusted his mood and said lightly: "Say something now."


    Ronaldinho is sitting on the sidelines, facing Aldridge sideways, and said in a deep voice: "Boy, I''m sorry, I, we won the league, the opponents in the FA Cup final are also a good deal, I firmly believe that we can still get the football I won¡¯t be happy with the championship, really, I¡¯m not happy at all. I can hardly fall asleep. The picture of playing a penalty kick in Munich has been repeated in my mind. I let the team¡¯s efforts be lost. We We could have gone to Camp Nou in half a month. We can become the Triple Crown and defend the European Champions Cup. Blame me, I..."


    At the end, Ronaldinho choked.


    Aldridge looked shocked.


    False alarm.


    Not only did Ronaldinho come to the showdown to transfer.


    Moreover, his words shocked Aldridge.


    It has been more than half a month since the defeat in Munich. Ronaldinho is still holding a grudge and full of self-blame.


    The other party couldn''t confess to coming to Aldridge. Every word, every word, and the painful expression on his face came from the heart, and Aldrich was very certain.


    How strong is this sense of ownership?


    From the youth team to the first team, Ronaldinho spent three years here, he is expected to have high hopes, and he is also ambitious.


    But maybe he has too much burden and puts too much pressure on him.


    Aldrich stared silently at Ronaldinho without saying a word.


    Ronaldinho didn''t see Aldridge speak for a long time, turned his head and looked, but saw Aldridge''s eyes smiled.


    "Boss, you..."


    "Ask you a question, do you know who the last team in Europe is called the Great Dynasty?"


    Ronaldinho thought about it and said, "AC Milan."


    "Then do you know how many championships AC Milan have won in the eight years before and after Sacchi and Capello?"


    Ronaldinho shook his head.


    Aldridge smiled and said: "16, this is still counted as the European Super Cup, the Toyota Cup and the like are not worth mentioning in my eyes. How many trophy have Millwall won in the past four years?"


    Ronaldinho began to reckon in his heart.


    "13..."


    "Don''t count the European Super Cup and Toyota Cup, and the community shield."


    "8, there is no FA Cup final this season."


    Aldrich leaned forward to look at Ronaldinho up close and smiled: "Even me, I can''t ask for myself anymore. I ask you to win the Triple Crown this season. You must go to defend the European Championship, Ronaldini. Oh, you think too much! But your attachment to the championship surprised me. I must give you a thumbs up. I hope you can keep this attachment until the day you retire."


    Ronaldinho stared at Aldridge.


    He doesn''t understand, he really doesn''t understand.


    Why is Aldridge not angry at all?


    There doesn''t even seem to be any loss!

 Chapter 414： Good luck

    General players have three different reactions after suffering a game loss, especially a major loss.


    The first is to have no heart and no lungs. It doesn''t matter if a mercenary spends a day.


    This kind of player cannot be seen in Millwall. If there is, Aldridge will clean up the team as soon as he finds such signs, which has a negative impact on morale and unity.


    The second is to suffer a mental blow, and the mental state will be very low.


    This is a normal reaction, but morale will quickly fall, which will affect the player''s performance, so Aldridge in the first time in Munich to encourage the team to minimize the morale blow caused by the defeat.


    The third is to be unwilling, holding a breath, a wicked fire to vent, this situation is usually good, because it will make the team''s fighting intentions erupt more strongly in the face of the next game, so usually the giants Or a strong team will be killed in the next game immediately after an unexpected loss. Of course, such a situation is not absolute. It depends on the cause of the unexpected defeat of the next opponent and team after the loss and the team¡¯s Self-adjusting ability.


    Ronaldinho''s situation is roughly the second kind. Other players can''t say that they have relieved the defeat of Munich, but at least because of the task of the game, so their attention is focused on the future, but Ronaldinho was injured after the defeat. His mind and attention still remained in Munich, nightmarish and lingering.


    Aldridge was surprised that Ronaldinho once again came to the house to apologize to him and confess his own demon!


    That''s right, surprise!


    He saw a strong sense of responsibility and honor from Ronaldinho!


    As the next Millwall leader to focus on training, Aldridge needs Ronaldinho to have this kind of consciousness, be heartbroken at the loss, keep a longing for victory, carry the flag of the club, and combine honor and shame!


    But perhaps the defeat in the semifinals was too heavy, and Ronaldinho''s reaction was a bit overdone.


    After all, they maintained an undefeated record of 31 European Wars for three years and were ended!


    Of course, even if Ronaldinho scored a penalty, the sudden death penalty continued, Millwall won, their undefeated record is still ended, because the score of 120 minutes is 1:0, but this is the final record, everyone You can leave with a smile, and you won''t mind.


    He put all the blame on his head, and Aldridge believes that he has too much demand for himself.


    Or maybe it was because of the unusually strict demands that Aldridge placed on him in the team for several years.


    Aldrich doesn¡¯t know how to comfort people with words, to explain people, when Melanie is not happy, he will accompany her to practice boxing to vent, or go out shopping, go sightseeing, in short, he is used to doing something Distracted.


    For Ronaldinho, Aldridge used the same method.


    A coach, a player, the two played all night games, playing and playing, when thinking is all invested in the joy of the game, they will gradually forget the depression in their hearts.


    Afterwards, Ronaldinho can adjust himself even if he thinks about it again. After all, his boss, instead of immersed in sorrow, played with him all night long.


    At two o''clock in the afternoon of the next day, Aldridge woke up on the floor of the living room. Summer was coming, and he did not catch cold when he wore clothes, especially when he probably couldn''t stand and fell asleep directly on the floor when the sky was dark.


    Ronaldinho is gone, the game console has been put away, the living room is quite neat, it is estimated that Ronaldinho has packed it up.


    Aldrich scratched his hair, then went to bathe, and when he got some food to eat in the living room, he remembered the wine Carter gave him. He looked for a long while in the living room. He never found the bottle of wine and went to the kitchen. After searching, I still found nothing.


    He racked his brain to remember where he put the wine last night. At that time, his mind was all on Ronaldinho. Wherever the wine was placed was a subconscious action, and he could not remember it afterwards.


    He went to the garage again to see if it had landed in the car, but he did not find it.


    Until dinner time, he was looking for the missing bottle of wine, and he was almost crazy.


    Finally, he sent Ronaldinho an SMS to ask.


    "When you came to my house yesterday, did you see me take a bottle of wine home?"


    "Yes."


    "I took it home?"


    "You have a bottle of wine in your hand when you come back."


    "See where I put it?"


    "Just put it on the shoe cabinet at the entrance."


    Aldridge ran to the door with his mobile phone. The sweeping shoe cabinet had nothing to hide except for neatly arranged leather shoes, slippers, and sneakers.


    "I didn''t find the bottle of wine."


    "Oh, I took it by the way when I left in the morning, it was delicious, thank you."


    Aldridge looked at the text messages on his mobile phone and was almost mad.


    This kid doesn''t expect to be able to get rid of the trouble of getting sheep from his family in this life!


    Regaining the league title after a lapse of one year is a spiritual stimulation for Millwall, and also buffers the psychological impact of the Champions League defending defeat. In the preparation for the FA Cup final training, the atmosphere of the training field is very Harmony, Aldridge''s requirements for the players have been relaxed.


    This relaxation does not mean underestimating the enemy, but try to keep the players from stepping into the finals under pressure. After the finals, they will be on vacation. At this time, if Aldridge picks up his face and picks up the leather whip to let them train to death, not only Increased pressure will also make players disgusted.


    Boas is still diligently collecting information and collating information, and then before the pre-game preparation meeting, he produced a report for Aldridge¡¯s reference. Klinsmann and Jenson analyzed the follow-up player status. Aldridge¡¯s current job is to More and more relaxed, the coaching team gradually got on the right track after replacing two important people last summer. Everyone cooperated with each other in a tacit and efficient way.


    The FA Cup final is Millwall against Newcastle United. If it were Newcastle United a few years ago, this game will be full of suspense.


    However, Newcastle United led by Gullit only won the 14th place in the league this season and was able to reach the FA Cup finals. It can only be said that they have not withstood too much test. Millwall is only to cut Arsenal and Manchester United. To the finals, plus just crowned the Premier League champions, this FA Cup final, in the outside world, there will not be much suspense.


    So the British media focused on the game is that Manchester United later with Bayern Munich peak European matchup.


    Fucked reporters were stuck outside the training ground and asked Audridge about the game.


    Fleet Street is very pessimistic anyway, Bayern Munich''s power is undoubtedly, Manchester United lacks a major general, it seems difficult to escape doom.


    Millwall''s Triple Crown is yellow, and Manchester United is not playing. The only team left in Europe that can hopefully create a Triple Crown Albert this season: Bayern Munich! They won the league, next they will play in the Champions League final, and finally, the German Cup final.


    Against this background, the German tank¡¯s fighting intentions need not be doubted, and the propaganda naturally overshadowed the Red Devils.


    In his interview, Aldridge can only reply with diplomatic decree.


    "The two teams are not equal in strength and have opportunities."


    ...


    May 22.


    Aldrich¡¯s 23rd birthday has just passed two days ago. He hid in his parents¡¯ house on that birthday and deliberately avoided all social activities. In the past year, he met many new friends, especially the British ¡°elite¡± brand friends. I want to celebrate Aldridge with great fanfare. Aldrich doesn''t know if these people are all idle. I will make a noise when I get a chance. Maybe it''s because of work pressure.


    Magpie fans coming from afar pour into Wembley together with fans of crazy lions. The number of fans of crazy lions is obviously much larger than that of fans of magpies.


    Before the game started, the singing in the stands started.


    After the players warmed up, they returned to the locker room. Aldrich looked at the time. He talked to the players straightforwardly: "It was my birthday two days ago. I made a wish. This wish is a happy one. Summer, okay, two hours later, I hope you will not let my wish go directly."


    The players looked at each other, raised their eyebrows at each other, and no one spoke.


    Aldridge left the locker room.


    After he left, Southgate said energetically: "The boss seems to be a father in two months."


    "Uh, that seems to be written in the newspaper."


    Larson''s words were confirmed by Bout.


    "That really can''t mess up his summer vacation."


    After Henry finished speaking, everyone laughed.


    What to do, they know it.


    Fight it!


    The players of both sides walked into the player channel. Newcastle United is in the middle of the world, and now only relying on Hiller to support the facade. It can¡¯t be said that other players have no strength. Like Berrisford, a full-back who is known as a genius in England, has risen from the debut The amazing feeling, then immediately stayed at a strength level steadily. If it is a contest between the midstream teams or the first-tier clubs, it is comparable, but the gap is still obvious with the top teams. Only Hiller can be included in the individual level of the top contest.


    Aldridge walked into the field with one hand in his hands, without looking at the coach seat on the other side, and went straight to the coach seat of the visiting team.


    Newcastle United reached the home team, and Gullit stood in front of the home team coach with a serious look.


    After the live camera shot this scene, the commentator suddenly started to tease Aldridge.


    "Hall said he didn''t care about other people''s comments. Actually? He must be against Gullit. He usually takes the initiative to shake hands with his opponent''s head coach, but today? He sat down directly on the coach seat. It seems that they are confident in the game and they don¡¯t have to stand and command. Oh, I want to come too. Half a month ago, Millwall was third in the league slippage, and Gullit also supported Chelsea to win the championship and mocked Millwall. It is impossible to win the Triple Crown, and it is best not to get even the top three in the league. As a result, Millwall staged a miracle scene and counted down the lore to the top of the Premier League championship. Now, Hall may be thinking: Triple Crown I didn¡¯t get it, but I defeated Newcastle United in the final and added another FA Cup. It¡¯s not bad to win a double crown this season. The trophy harvester seems to be using the shortest speed to fill Millwall¡¯s honor room.¡±


    Aldrich did have an idea in mind, but it was not the kind of ostentation that the commentator had speculated, but a bit dark.


    Gurit, you are so lucky!


    Millwall''s two main stoppages!


    Ronaldinho will have a week to make his comeback, and he will go directly to the Brazilian national team to report playing the Copa America.


    Nedved also made a sideline today, expecting to be completely healed before the new season and return to the field intact.


    Without these two men, Millwall¡¯s offensive power will definitely decrease sharply, but Aldrich thinks it is enough. Hard power is there. The physical condition and fighting spirit of the players plus the experience accumulated in high-level games, especially this year In the league, almost the second half of the field are the finals, accelerating the growth of players.


    Now, Millwall''s first team lineup has stabilized, and there will be no big leap next season, but it will be more mature and sufficient.

 Chapter 415： Four years nine crowns

    When Millwall''s starting player entered the field, the narrator focused on introducing the audience to people who made a slightly unexpected appearance.


    "If you only focus on Millwall''s focus campaign this season, a player who appears on the starting list may make you feel strange. His name is Miroslav Klose, who replaces the injured Nedvi De played, he came to Millwall two years ago, this season as a substitute for Millwall played 18 times in cups and league games, scoring 8 goals and 12 assists, very efficient, is already England football The next Millwall star candidate to focus on, but he has always been a double striker partner with Fanny, and has always been a role to give Fanny a response or cover. Today Hall will score a total of various events this season. The 27-ball Fannie was placed on the bench and Klose was chosen, which made people feel puzzled. I hope his decision will not be the focus after the game."


    Millwall played today more like a 4222, with two forwards Henry and Klose, with two wings behind van der Mede and Larson, Glenn Charles also sitting on the bench, and the midfield partner is Makelele and Pirlo.


    Aldridge believes that the strength is stronger than the other side. Newcastle United must be playing a defensive counterattack. Van der Med''s cross quality is guaranteed and the effect will be better than that of Glennshire.


    Before the kick-off, the big brothers of the team came to Klose to encourage him, and some let him not be nervous.


    Is Klose''s expression serious and nervous?


    No, it''s exciting.


    This is the first time he has entered the main lineup and can play football with these honorable top players. It seems that his football dream has begun to fulfill.


    Aldridge sat on the coach to watch the field, he had high expectations for Klose, and Klose''s progress in the past two years was also his joy. Even, because the opponent''s intentions to play football, Aldridge could not Requiring stricter requirements for him, but this does not mean a kind of neglect.


    Klose is also a transformation. Like Henry, he is a winger.


    The difference is that Henry is a winger in Ligue 1 and Klose is a winger in the regional amateur league.


    Therefore, there are obvious technical differences. Fortunately, Klose was still young when he came to Millwall. In the past two years, he has strengthened his technical training. Although it is impossible to drive the ball like Henry, he has a great ability to control the ball. The improvement and ability to play the ball have also achieved excellent results with 12 assists this season.


    At the beginning of the game, Millwall grasped the initiative from the start of the game and controlled the overall rhythm. Newcastle United could only passively defend.


    The opponent is very hard, and often sees the opponent player do a 20-meter sprint to grab the ball, but Millwall does not panic and steadily control the rhythm. Pirlo and Schneider pass back and forth three times so that Hiller can only run back and forth in a pendulum style. Later, he suddenly passed the sideline to Van der Mede, and the acceleration from slow to fast rhythm is Millwall''s most handy trick.


    Van der Mede saw Henry put a pin into the rib to Henry, Henry stopped the ball and kicked back the ball to Klose, Klose shot the ball and lost the ball!


    He wanted to pass the ball to Larson, and Larson was indeed running forward, but did not run out of time, Newcastle United''s marking of Larson is definitely the focus.


    Aldridge watched off the field for 20 minutes, Klose touched the ball 11 times, all 11 passes were selected, 7 passes were successful, 4 turnovers, and these 4 times were all straight forward to Larson or Henry''s.


    Aldridge is also an experienced coach, and immediately sees the crux of the problem.


    He stood up and walked to the sidelines, taking advantage of the dead ball to call Klose in front of him, and simply said: "Get yourself in front!"


    After saying this, Aldridge turned his head back to the coach seat and then sat down.


    Klose recorded this sentence and turned and ran back to the front court.


    He spent a season as a green leaf, always playing for Fannie.


    If he is going to strike Fannie, then Henry and Larson, needless to say, it must be aiding them.


    This kind of thinking of playing football cannot be said to be wrong. On the contrary, it is emphasized in Millwall''s training. It requires the offensive players to have a strong sense of play and cooperation.


    But again, it also requires a sense of goal.


    In the bench lineup, Klose and Fanny have a clear division of labor. Fanny is the main scorer, which depends on Fanny''s playing style.


    In the first team, Klose did not need to play like that, as long as he was conscious of scoring and ran to the correct route and area, Larson and Henry would give him back assists.


    After Aldrich mentions points, Klose will take the initiative to take the ball during the attack, and then take the initiative to move forward to enter the threat zone. Newcastle United obviously does not pay enough attention to him.


    In the 28th minute of the game, Van der Mede crossed on the right, Henry was in front of the goal, Larsson was at the back point, the two were the key point guards of Newcastle United, and Klose outflanked the front point, there was only one The defensive player was harassing him and fighting for the header. Klose defeated the opponent and put the ball into the door of Newcastle United.


    After scoring, Klose excitedly ran to the side of the court to make a perfect forward somersault. The people who practiced gymnastics were different. The celebration movements made people unable to surpass even if they imitated.


    "Klose! The Milwall star Klose we highlighted before the game, he helped the team open the first record in the FA Cup final! After the goal, he also made a beautiful front flip! He is reminiscent of two years In the previous FA Cup final, Ronaldinho turned out in that game. Today, Millwall has another young star standing out. We have to write down his name now, Miroslav Clo Ze! Probably in the near future, he will shine in England and even UEFA!"


    Seeing this goal, Aldridge stood up and applauded Klose. He was very happy with a smile on his face. Not only was the team leading, Klose was able to score, but it was very important for his growth. This is a kind of self Rewards can help him grow up faster.


    Many teammates ran to celebrate with Klose, and Materazzi rushed up to hold Klose''s forehead and smiled and asked: "Carpenter, how does it feel to score in the final?"


    Little carpenter?


    Uh, since Klose once climbed on the roof to repair the house after being discovered by his teammates, everyone knew Klose''s hobbies and hobbies, so he gave him the nickname: Little Carpenter.


    Klose replied with a smile: "Superb!"


    Larson hugged his neck and smiled in his ear: "When you get used to this feeling, you won''t say it''s great."


    "What would it be?"


    "That''s drugs! Make people want to stop!"


    Millwall started a good game, and the players were still fully committed to the next game. For them, the remaining game time of the season is also counted down by one minute and one second.


    "Newcastle United have averaged 1.24 goals per game in the league this season and 1.56 goals per game. Millwall has averaged 2.34 goals per game in the league this season, although there are no goals per game. All of them are so horrible, but only 0.73. Both offensive and defensive, Millwall ranked second in the Premier League, Manchester United attacked first, Arsenal defended first, and the result was lost to Millwall with both offense and defense. Therefore, in this scene, Newcastle United is in a passive position, and it is almost impossible to create a shooting opportunity. It is reasonable. Although Materazzi has a frantic upswing or a calm foul this season, his overall performance has exceeded. It is expected that his combination with Southgate''s centre-back is reassuring, especially with enhanced air defense and confrontation with powerful centers, Millwall''s rear defense triangle, Materazzi + Southgate + Makelele, speed, consciousness, body, etc. complement each other effectively, making most opponents feel desperate when facing them. Newcastle United counterattack, Hiller takes the ball, he put too much attention on In front of the Southgate who defended him frontally, he didn''t notice Marklele''s steals from the back. Millwall then fought back. This was a good chance. There was a lot of free time in the Newcastle United defense area. They just attacked and returned now. The speed of defense is obviously not fast enough!"


    In this counterattack, Van der Meide withdrew and then took a Makelele pass and then passed the triangle to Pirlo.


    Pirlo turned around and straightened the sideways. Henry, who pulled back, pulled the ball and drove forward to withdraw from the air. In the running position, Larson completed the role change with him. Now Larson has become the center.


    Henry crossed the middle from the left side of the penalty area and Klose pulled the ball out of the penalty area. He passed the ball diagonally. Larsen successfully countered the offside and volleyed the ball with the goal.


    "Wonderful goal! Millwall''s classic quick counterattack! As long as the opponent''s overall formation is stretched, Millwall can tear through the opponent''s defense layer by layer when they strike forward, they attack the player''s running position, and deal with the ball The calmness of the pass and the choice of the passing route are impeccable. Klose¡¯s pass to Larson is just right. The empty side of Newcastle United is too big, but there is no way they can resist the positive impact of the opponent¡¯s counterattack. Gullit has always declared that he wants Newcastle United to play beautiful romantic football. Perhaps Hall¡¯s team is not romantic, but they play the speed and skill and the team¡¯s beautiful football. Imitate objects that cannot be copied!"


    Gullit frowned on the sidelines, then stretched out again.


    He insisted on saying that his skills were not as good as that of others.


    He thinks it is a strength gap.


    What is the value of the Newcastle United team?


    What is the total value of the players on Millwall?


    Aldridge didn''t celebrate the second goal too much, just smiled happily, and then talked with Klinsmann.


    Millwall should have won this game.


    There is neither the pressure of intensive schedules nor the impact of a decline in fighting will, nor will there be a factor that slacks against the enemy.


    In the second half, Aldridge directly used two substitutions to replace Pirlo and Larson.


    Gattuso and Lampard came on stage to strengthen defense, Millwall strengthened midfield control, lowered the rhythm without giving opponents any chance of fast break.


    Newcastle United counterattacked wildly in the second half, but was completely destroyed by a wave of Millwall counterattacks in the 71st minute of the game. Van der Mede unexpectedly succeeded in the counter-offside in the middle. In response to Schneider''s overly long flyer knife, the ball was sent to the opponent. The goal locked the victory of the game.


    Aldridge finally let Ashley Cole debut to feel the atmosphere of the game.


    "At the end of the game, congratulations to Millwall, who defeated Newcastle United 3-0, Millwall won the third FA Cup championship trophy in four years, becoming the league and the FA Cup double crown this season! Millwall has won the 12th important championship trophy since the Premier League in the 95-96 season. This is definitely a dynasty team''s record. Audrey Hall opened a dynasty for Millwall And how long can this dynasty last? We will witness together in the future!"


    The fans in the Wembley Grandstand seemed to be organized in an organized manner before the game. At the moment when the whistle sounded at the end of the match, the fans in the stands collectively performed a gesture of worship towards the court, which was shocking.


    Aldridge stood up and came to the sidelines, still clasping the bag with one hand, his expression thoughtful.


    In four years, the ninth important event championship trophy has been made.


    He didn''t count two European Super Cups and one Toyota Cup.


    If he is really opening up a dynasty, then this dynasty should not just rule England.


    Aldrich looked up to the sky.


    European sky.


    Is there really no motivation?


    No, I will create a dynasty that will rule Europe!

 Chapter 416： Unfinished business

    May 26, 1999.


    Manchester United and Bayern Munich division Nou Camp, the European Cup final matchup.


    At the beginning of the game, Aldridge was already in Liverpool''s newly bought house, leaning on the sofa with beer to enjoy the game.


    Bayern Munich broke the ball with a free kick at the beginning of the opening.


    Aldridge watched the game with an absolute bystander mentality, and felt a bit of torture.


    When the game reached halftime, the doorbell rang at home, Aldridge went to open the door, and saw the two sisters Melanie, the younger brother carrying a large box of luggage, Melanie was wearing a wide dress.


    "Hi, Aldridge."


    Her younger brother was very polite. Even though she knew that there was a problem between Aldridge and his sister that was unresolved, she did not pose a hostile gesture.


    Instead, he knew in his heart that his sister was right and wrong. As soon as Aldridge bought a house in Liverpool, she immediately packed up and moved over.


    Either way, Aldridge and Melanie hope to witness the birth of their children as parents.


    Aldridge helped bring the luggage upstairs, and then left Melanie to organize in the bedroom. He and her brother went downstairs to continue watching the game.


    "Manchester United is going to be empty again this season, haha."


    Bayern Munich is dominant in the scene, and no matter how Manchester United fans emphasized the strength of 99 Manchester United ten years later, in fact, in this year, Bayern Munich is definitely stronger than Manchester United, and Juventus is also the same, so Manchester United won the championship and called it a miracle. Just as the Federal Republic of Germany defeated Hungary in the past, it was an incredible miracle because it was weaker than the other side. Otherwise, if the strong team defeated the weak team, who would call it a miracle? Even if two goals are scored in stoppage time, they will not be deliberately praised afterwards.


    Aldridge feels even weirder.


    He, Millwall''s coach, sat with a Liverpool die-hard fan to watch Manchester United''s game, and then listened to Liverpool fans mocking Manchester United for nothing...


    What kind of mentality is this?


    Liverpool haven¡¯t tasted the championship in years, right?


    Perhaps, Liverpool fans support Bayern Munich.


    At the end of the game, Heathfield really replaced Matteus. Now it seems that this substitution is more like letting Matteus accept the cheers of Bayern fans.


    He is almost one Champions League champion, no regrets in his career!


    But maybe, God gave Mattus a joke, and this day, this substitution has become the biggest regret of his career.


    Melanie¡¯s younger brother has been drinking wine from the beginning of the second half of the game, ridiculing Manchester United from beginning to end, recalling the glory of Liverpool¡¯s **** of Europe...


    But after 45 minutes, he thundered.


    "grass!"


    Manchester United pulled one back.


    "Damn, Bayern Munich played a good 90 minutes and knelt in the last 3 minutes!"


    He lifted the bottle in his hand and was about to fall to the ground. Fortunately, the cliff strangled him and realized that this was not the place where he should be wild.


    Aldridge didn''t want to listen to Martin Taylor''s passionate praise of Manchester United''s greatness, so he turned off the TV.


    Perhaps just outside the house, many Liverpool fans in this Liverpool city reacted to Melanie''s brother.


    And Manchester, not far away, is bound to be a passionate celebration of carnival.


    Coincidentally, last year Millwall won the first Champions League championship in club history. That day was Oudridge''s birthday.


    Today, Ferguson led Manchester United to return to the top of Europe after 31 years. 31 years ago, the man who led Manchester United in Europe, named Matt Busby, today is the 90th anniversary of Busby¡¯s birthday. Perhaps, In the dark, Busby was watching the game in the clouds above Camp Nou.


    Bayern Munich opened a good game, played twice the door frame, and then was magically reversed by Manchester United when preparing to celebrate the championship. The Premier League team reached the European Championship for two consecutive years. The new European football pattern has also entered a reshuffle. stage.


    Melanie''s brother left in a depressed mood. After he left, Aldridge sat on the sofa with his eyes closed.


    Manchester United still won the championship. This championship is the tireless pursuit of Manchester United in the past three years. It can help Ferguson survive the crisis of trust, and it can also make the temperament of Manchester United players change. However, Manchester United¡¯s attractiveness and influence will still be somewhat different. improve.


    As he pondered, a hot, delicate body was posted in his arms.


    "Who''s winning?"


    "Manchester United."


    "Are you upset? Envy?"


    "No."


    "You can''t hold me?"


    Aldridge placed her in her arms, and put the other hand on her lower abdomen naturally, touching it gently.


    Melanie sat up, took off the dress, and then took Aldrich''s hand, put his palm on his stomach, and covered it with soft colors: "Can you feel it?"


    Aldrich concentrated, but still shook his head, Melanie smiled: "I can already feel it, and sometimes it makes me uncomfortable."


    "troubled you."


    Aldridge bent down and kissed gently on her bulging belly.


    Melanie gently stroked his hair and asked softly, "Are you coming to Liverpool because of me or because of your child?"


    "I don''t want to discuss this because it will make you unhappy in the end."


    "Because I won''t change my mind?"


    "I don''t want to discuss."


    "Well, then we will not discuss this matter before the child is born. Aldrich, answer me seriously, have you betrayed me in the past six months?"


    "No."


    "Really?"


    "Really."


    Melanie hugged Aldridge and whispered in his ear: "I believe you. Since you have already started on vacation, let us forget all the worries and spend the summer here."


    ...


    The next day, Manchester United returned with a cup, and Fleet Street sang praises, and it was at this time that it was able to pull the news to Millwall.


    The title of the "Sun" football section is: Millwall''s "Revenge"!


    Looking at the title is related to Millwall, but the content is completely unrelated to Millwall, but it does have some origins.


    The writer described the goals of Sheringham and Solskjaer as Millwall¡¯s revenge against Bayern Munich. Both of them have played Millwall briefly, and in calculations, they both debuted from Millwall , Is a star trained by Millwall youth training.


    The "Sun" news made Aldridge feel sick, as if Millwall had no strength to compete with Bayern Munich.


    Aldridge started his vacation to accompany Melanie in Liverpool. Liverpool''s local media "Echo" went home five times to try to interview him, but Aldridge rejected them one by one.


    He is now only interviewed once a year, and he was interviewed by the BBC after the season.


    One is to maintain his fame, if it is news every day, he will become ordinary.


    Secondly, I don''t want to create an image that is too high-profile and proud.


    Although he entered the holiday, the club''s summer operation has already begun.


    The first is the player contract. The first-team player contracts are all in a safe state. In addition to the renewal after winning the Champions League last season, even if he won the double crown this season, Millwall has no plan to renew the contract for the first-team players. , But some youth team players will update the contract based on performance.


    Last season, Millwall sold most of its main force in the summer, making European giants start digging corners against Millwall before the summer transfer.


    Next year is the competition year, unless this summer is a high-ranking player, generally speaking, the star who strives for the national team¡¯s main qualification will be considered to play stably on the field, and the main framework of the Millwall first team will not change, players We all want to be more brilliant in the new season.


    The main player in the team''s disappointment, Aldridge confirmed that there is one person: Makelele.


    In fact, he thought about the transfer in the summer of 1998, but he chose to stay, and there was a kind of gratitude in it. He was grateful to Aldridge for continuously recommending him to the national team in the media before Yakai, and finally He also successfully boarded the French chariot and became one of the local World Cup winners.


    So he stayed last season, but according to the feedback from the agent, Makelele really wanted to leave and go to a more "noble and glorious" club. When he renewed last summer, his agent Disclosure to Millwall Club: This is the last contract signed between Makelele and Millwall.


    The contract period is four years, and not all agents are ugly and insidious. At least Makelele hopes that even if he leaves, he will say goodbye to Millwall in a friendly way and disclose this information to Millwall. The subtext is to let Millwall He prepared for his departure early, and don''t drag it until the contract period is approaching, so as to avoid a loss in transfer fees.


    However, in the summer of 1999, Makelele was really reluctant to listen to the offers of other clubs. He was afraid of going to a new club and did not perform well. He could not enter the French roster for the European Cup next year. At least next season, he was happy Continue wearing a blue shirt to fight for Millwall, so as to ensure the selection of the national team.


    With Millwall''s outstanding record for several years in a row and their youth training success gaining a reputation in Europe, many teams now not only tap Millwall''s main force, but also increase their efforts to buy Millwall''s young players. I hope to train the next Shevchenko, Ronaldinho, Pirlo one or two years after I bought it back...


    So this summer, the severe situation facing Millwall is not whether he can retain the main force, but whether he can retain younger bench players.


    Aldrich cannot rely on 11 players to make a difference in a season, he must have reliable substitutes, so keeping the substitutes is the focus of this summer''s work.


    He asked Adam to take an active role and convince those substitute players who were seduce to be patient and stay in Millwall. If a new contract is needed, as long as the conditions are not too excessive, Aldridge is willing to make some concessions.


    This summer, he neither travels nor plans to go to Europe to collect the Star of Hope. He is expecting his child to be born.


    Millwall, who has been touted by the outside world for 12 years and 12 crowns, is opening up a dynasty, and his reputation in the European football world has further increased.


    The war between G14 and UEFA achieved a staged victory and further began to crush the profit sharing of the Champions League.


    The Manchester United acquisition completely disappeared, and media tycoon Murdoch was subject to pressure from the British government to withdraw his plan to enter football. Edwards learned his lessons and began to shift to a low profile.


    The England national team did not perform well in the European Cup qualifiers and had to participate in the European Cup qualifier play-offs in the second half. The England national team coach Glenn Hoddle began to write his own autobiography. In the unpublished manuscript, he recorded his The superstition of witchcraft, the world view of reincarnation, after the publication of this autobiography in the future, the coach of the England national team will be caught in the storm of public opinion...


    The fans of the crazy lion are full of anticipation, and the countdown has begun, and their eyes are on the new millennium. When this magnificent division moves into the Lion King Stadium, what kind of team will stand in Europe?


    Volume VI giants

 Chapter 417： The smell of copper in the air

    In the summer of 1999, Aldridge''s life was unsettled, ordinary as water, just like the daily life of the general public.


    She is accompanied by Melanie every day. The two walk and shop during the day, cook at home, watch movies at night or sit on the balcony and read books quietly. She is prone to fall asleep and often falls asleep early.


    Although such a plain life is not magnificent, nor romantic, it is the most real and comfortable time.


    Melanie often sighed in his ears that such a time made her enjoy it in peace.


    Aldridge always laughed and said nothing.


    When July is approaching, the transfer market door is about to open, and the transfer news of various clubs has also begun to clamor.


    The main force of Millwall''s first team began to "habitually" relate to the European giants, but the scandal has always been a scandal.


    But the different news flowing from various media channels is directed at the incident to an unexpected player.


    Rio Ferdinand!


    The club with whom he had a scandal was Leeds United.


    At the same time, there are several players in the Millwall formation who are connected with Leeds United.


    David O''Reilly, who is now known as the White Rose Marshal, is highly anticipated, and people are also opening their eyes to prepare for his next season''s performance.


    However, this requires more support from the Leeds United club. With O''Reilly''s hand alone, after a successful season, Leeds United will obviously be targeted by the teams if they do not strengthen their strength in the new season. Ground sniper.


    In the Leeds RUF, Kewell used the relationship with the Australian national team to persuade three Australian nationals, Neil, Cahill and Bresiano, to join Leeds.


    Lucas Neil is an old team member and has followed Aldridge since the beginning. His loyalty is unquestionable. Even if Cowell came to persuade, Neal was unmoved. Originally, Neal was not famous or football Achievements are now above Cowell. If they exchange positions, Neal persuades Cowell that the success rate may be greater.


    But Cahill and Bresiano were a little bit more emotional. They couldn''t even play off the bench at Millwall. They were loaned out for two consecutive years. They performed well under Moyes. They helped Moyes lead the team to the previous season. In the First Division, last season helped Moyes'' team not only succeed in relegation, but also finally ranked in the first half of the First Division. Their performance has also attracted the attention of the first-tier clubs in England.


    In the transfer messages that are followed by different media on Fleet Street, Ferdinand is the largest potential trading partner of Millwall¡¯s name, followed by Mills, Duff, and Van der Med, all of which have been rumored with Leeds United. .


    Actually much more than that.


    In Adam¡¯s message to Aldridge, the summer transfer offensive launched by Leeds United was almost to wipe out the talent reserve of the Millwall youth team between the ages of 18 and 20!


    Ritzdale¡¯s ambition is to build a strong Leeds United. He can¡¯t afford Bates¡¯s generous investment, but he trusts the successful models of O''Reilly and the Young Army, hoping that Leeds United can replicate Millwall. The road to the sky''s rise.


    On the day of July 1, Aldridge got up in the morning and planned to take Melanie to the park for a walk. Just out of the house, there was a high-end car parked at the door. I put on my own business card and introduce myself.


    He is an assistant to Ritzdale, who is in charge of the senior executive of Leeds United this summer.


    Aldrich did not squint, throwing away his business card casually, holding Melanie''s hand out, and passing by the stunned young man, said lightly: "If you don''t understand the rules of the game, go home and don''t come out a shame."


    Melanie snuggled and snuggled up next to Aldridge, pinching his arm slightly.


    Ritzdale''s assistant looked blushed, as if he had suffered great humiliation.


    O''Reilly can come and talk to Aldridge about the player transfer in person. That was a conversation between the two head coaches.


    Ritzdale can also take the initiative to come and talk to Aldridge. Aldrich will open the door of the office and let the two sit down and talk slowly. There is no righteousness in trading. This is the normal communication between the two club owners.


    But if Leeds United sends a high-level manager who is neither the head coach nor the boss or chairman to come to Aldridge to discuss business, their identities are not equal. In the established rules, this lacks respect and courtesy.


    He can come, but don¡¯t look for Aldridge. Instead, look for Adam. That¡¯s in line with the rules and bypassing Adam. This is the CEO who defies Millwall.


    At this point, Moratti is the opposite model. So far, Millwall and Inter Milan have not done a deal, but Moratti will never let others call Aldridge. The relationship between the boss and the boss is direct communication, whether it is a transaction or not. This is the most basic kind of respect. It also allows the two to establish friendship, but friendship should be treated as friendship and business as business.


    Two days later, Cahill and Bresciano personally came to Liverpool to visit Aldridge.


    After two hours of talks, Aldridge embraced Cahill and Bresciano one after another, and then sent the two off in person.


    Melanie stood by the window upstairs and watched Cahill and Bresciano leave with a loss. When Aldridge came home, she went downstairs and sat next to him, softly: "The two of them It seems like I''m feeling down. What did you talk about?"


    "I agreed to their departure."


    "If you let them stay, would it make them happy?"


    "That''s not good for their career."


    Aldridge''s mood was also somewhat affected.


    The two hope to stay in Millwall, but they do not have a main position, and even playing off the bench is difficult, especially at their current age, and need more games to improve.


    Aldridge suddenly thought of Ferguson again, and he suddenly felt that his current mood is probably the same as that of Ferguson letting Phil Neville out. It is reluctant, but it must be done. Everything is just for the player. Thinking.


    "What are you thinking?"


    Melanie poked his face with her finger, trying to make him laugh.


    "Think of Ferguson."


    "Well, what''s the old man doing? Isn''t it uncomfortable? You won the Champions League, he also won the Champions League, and as a result he was knighted, you won the block knight medal."


    Aldridge froze for a moment, then shook his head and smiled: "Not the same, it has nothing to do with this."


    Ferguson was knighted for the championship, although in terms of green record, Aldridge must be stronger than Ferguson in these years.


    But Millwall¡¯s Champions League and Manchester United¡¯s Champions League have very different influence in British society.


    One is the giants that have been popular in England since the 1960s, and the other is the newly-raised dark horse team.


    Millwall won the Champions League, everyone will only feel surprised, fans surprise, nothing more.


    But Manchester United won the Champions League, how many generations of British Red Devils fans are excited? In terms of local influence, Millwall is at best able to beat Manchester United in London. Looking at the whole of England, the Red Devils are still the master. The vast majority of fans in England are not the head of the wall. After some championships, he immediately turned down and abandoned his former football beliefs. Aldrich saw it very openly. He didn''t want to compete with Manchester United for the glory of the past, but for the future.


    In addition, the social and political stances of London and Manchester will also play a big role. It is normal for the royal preference to be based on Manchester¡¯s belief in absolute loyalty to the Queen.


    Aldridge saw nothing.


    In the history of the Red Army, the great Xiangshuai and three Champions League champions opened up Paisley, which ruled the Liverpool dynasty in Europe. No, only the OBE medal, that''s a ball! Who made Liverpool''s political stance exactly opposite Manchester? Against Manchester, is it not the same as the royal family?


    The Manchester United club is not only the title knights of Busby, Charlton and Ferguson, but also countless players have received medals of honor at all levels. Like the Knight Medal of Aldridge, that stuff is bad street.


    Therefore, this kind of thing really goes to my heart. I can do it all my life, as long as I don''t take the royal family seriously, the British royal family has already existed in name only, wearing the emperor''s new clothes.


    Two more days later, Rio Ferdinand also ran to Liverpool from London.


    "Boss, I will be 21 next season and I need more stable playing time."


    "Boss, a season of cup games and league bench, 25 appearances is not enough for me."


    "Boss..."


    Aldridge and Ferdinand stood in the back garden and talked.


    The two did not talk about "money" from beginning to end.


    Ferdinand''s stern expression is sincere, and he seems to be persuading Audridge to let him go from the perspective of career development.


    Somehow, maybe it was the heart of Aldridge''s villain.


    He always felt that there was a smell of copper in the air.


    Did Ferdinand really leave for money?


    He didn''t even ask if Millwall would let him compete for the main position in the new season.


    It seems that the starting point of his remarks is that he will be an absolute substitute for the new season, playing from the beginning to the end, and will not appear to be a superior position after his outstanding performance.


    Today is only July 5.


    How did he know if Millwall would sell Materazzi or Southgate in the summer?


    If he wants to stay in his heart, he should wait at least, wait patiently, wait until the new season is unveiled in August, then it is not too late to transfer.


    However, maybe he can''t wait.


    Can''t wait to sign a new contract with Ritzdale''s 30,000 weekly salary!


    This is nearly double his weekly salary of 16,000 at Millwall!


    Moreover, there may be a signing fee of almost ¡ê1 million!


    Aldrich did not give Ferdinand a positive answer, only saying that he would consider his appeal and then let him go home and wait for news.


    When he sent Ferdinand out of the house himself, Aldridge watched the other person get in a taxi, and when he turned and walked home, he sighed slightly.


    He needs to make a choice, Ferdinand''s showdown, so he must make a decision as soon as possible.


    Whether to let him go, or to force him to stay.


    Whatever it is, you must make a decision as soon as possible, even if he is forced to stay with him, it will allow him to adjust his mindset for some time.


    Ferdinand¡¯s contract with the club is still three years away. If he stays for a long time, he will not be able to take the position within two years, and Millwall will lose the transfer fee on him. This is a predictable scenario.


    But can Ferdinand, 23, challenge the steady position of Materazzi and Southgate?


    Unless, really these two people have serious injuries or transfer to leave it.


    Ferdinand has rejected the club¡¯s weekly salary of 20,000 pounds. This salary is already the top of the Premier League team¡¯s treatment for substitute players, and it is more than 60% of the salary of the Premier League clubs. Too.


    However, he seemed to have decided.


    Aldridge smiled self-deprecatingly when he returned home.


    With a weekly salary of 20,000 pounds and a weekly salary of 30,000 pounds, the difference in one year is almost 500,000 pounds, plus the signing fee...


    Human beings die for food, there is nothing to complain about Ferdinand.

 Chapter 418： White rose walking towards the grave

    July 8.


    Aldridge called a conference call in his study at home.


    He is the initiator, and the other three participants are Nedved, Larson, and Southgate.


    None of the three players were in London, Larson returned to Sweden, Nedved returned to the Czech Republic, and Southgate took his family on a Mediterranean vacation.


    "I believe you have heard from the news that some players on the team have been caught in the rumors of the trade. The most important one is Ferdinand. He has applied for leaving the team verbally, but I hope he stays and may not get his heart. What is your opinion? If the club forces him to stay, will there be any problems in the locker room?"


    The locker room is orderly and has leaders. The Millwall team is the three captains. The leader is naturally Southgate.


    As a coach, Aldridge has a sense of distance between players on weekdays, but to master the locker room, players need to support him wholeheartedly, so many times he only needs to communicate with the three captains.


    He does not advocate iron-fisted management methods, but flexible and free management methods.


    Originally, he used an iron fist to manage the team with his young image, which will inevitably arouse the psychological resistance of many peers.


    "He wants to go? Then let him go, and he will regret his decision today."


    Larson first expressed his opinion.


    Over the years, he has witnessed the departure of many players. Obviously, those who left can¡¯t say that they are not mixed well. Like Vieira and Shevchenko, they have all gone to a new team and quickly become the mainstay. Players, but in terms of their green achievements, the players who remain in Millwall are more brilliant.


    It¡¯s going to rain. Niang is going to marry. The old man is going. The new one is coming. Larson thinks this is normal. Besides, Ferdinand is not the main force. Since he has no patience to wait for his superior to leave, leave. Ten years later, twenty Years later, on the day of retirement, I will look back at this decision today. I am sorry or fortunate.


    Anyway, he thought that there was no other place where he could be more comfortable than Millwall.


    "He stay will help the team a lot, but if he can''t concentrate on playing for the team, leaving it is a hidden danger."


    Nedved still wants Ferdinand to stay, but he also understands that if a player''s heart is no longer here, it will cause a united collective to have potential problems. Such problems are difficult to see on the surface, but sometimes Behind the inexplicable difficulties, it is actually this invisible problem that is playing a negative role.


    "Boy, let''s put it this way, if he doesn''t want to stay but eventually stays, then we have no problem when we win, but if the team loses in the game he played? What would everyone think? There will be an idea in the bottom of my heart: Has he tried his best for the team? This condemnation is unfair, but this is the most real idea, the idea that will come out involuntarily, head, I also hope that he I can stay, but if you can¡¯t convince him to stay wholeheartedly and stay alive for the team, then I don¡¯t want to see him in the locker room, it will be awkward in my heart, really, gradually, we will lack communication and affect the unity of the team. "


    Aldrich sat on the chair with his arms folded and thought deeply.


    He has never encountered this situation.


    In the past, when a player wanted to leave, Aldridge would let go. He just didn¡¯t want the player to stay to affect the unity of the locker room.


    Southgate''s words made Aldridge want to understand.


    Think about it, too, if his colleague "is in Cao Ying''s heart in Han", can he work hard together? Do you have any other thoughts in your heart? Speculate about the other party''s attitude or value?


    It''s just that he feels that now he has the confidence to force a player to remain, which is considered a strong stance to suppress the players, but this can be done. In the end, it will be pros and cons for the team, and it needs specific analysis.


    The unity of the locker room is extremely important. A team that is not united from the inside can not expect a strong fighting force to erupt on the court, and it will even be greatly discounted.


    Aldrich chose the anti-micro-step method to prevent the appearance of cracks in the dressing room.


    "Boss, we walked from nothing to today, and we are full of confidence in you. In the final analysis, we don¡¯t expect how much more Ferdinand will make the team stronger, although he stays in a better situation, but there is no What about him? We still believe that you can lead us to continuous success. Henrik is right. Ferdinand will regret his decision to leave. He should cherish his chance at Millwall. How many players want it now? Join us? Want to play under your men? He should think about it."


    In the end, Southgate comforted Aldridge in turn, presumably he thought that Ferdinand''s decision to leave was sad for Aldridge.


    Aldridge suddenly laughed.


    A substitute wants to leave, although Aldridge attaches importance, but has not reached the point where it is difficult to let go or feel sad.


    As a coach who has won nine championships in five years, if Aldrich bets on Ferdinand, then he is still a fart, of course he is more confident in himself.


    However, as a head coach, he must be more comprehensive than the players.


    One more Ferdinand does not seem to give Millwall qualitative and powerful changes, but if there is one Ferdinand on the rise, how long will Millwall spend to develop a substitute with the same strength? This kind of training will inevitably come at the expense of the record. Originally, the thickness of Millwall''s central defender was a short board last season. Neil changed to play as a central defender. Mills sometimes made a cameo. Now if Ferdinand really leaves, Milwaukee The new season''s bench may not even have a central defender who was born in India.


    The high-backed back defender, Aldridge did not want to spend money to buy, his own youth training has reserves, but he has to practice again, this kind of thing makes him a little headache.


    Leeds United has launched a full offensive in the transfer market, and it is very high-profile. Ritzdale seems to be proclaiming that Leeds United¡¯s big investment is for the team¡¯s strong rise, which can not only win the hearts of fans, but also allow players to join. More exciting.


    Compared to Leeds United''s aggressive attitude, Manchester United, who has just won the Champions League, is relatively low-key. Manchester United communicated a 10 million pound quotation to Millwall for Van Nistelrooy.


    Regarding whether or not to leave Fanny, Aldrich respects Fanny¡¯s personal choice. In fact, he is not indispensable. It is only that Audrich prefers to sell him abroad, but there is no foreign giant or Fanny. The club issued a sincere offer.


    If you continue to let the Premier League golden boots sit on the bench, it makes no sense.


    Millwall had a secret bargain with Manchester United. When Manchester United''s price increased to 12.5 million pounds, Millwall agreed to Manchester United''s offer, allowing the other party to contact the players to discuss the transfer.


    Ferguson personally called Fanny to invite the other to join Manchester United.


    Manchester United can''t make a specific commitment for Fanny next season. Last season''s killing of the Quartet, the black wind Shuangsha for Manchester United in winning the Champions League will still be the team''s main strike partner.


    But Ferguson persuaded Fanny¡¯s focus on Fanny¡¯s career prospects.


    First of all, he has almost no future in Millwall.


    Millwall¡¯s tactical system requires only one center, and is a center that can cover the winger with a wide range of activities. It is now Henry, and Klose is in the bench. Through the performance of Klose in the FA Cup final, it is clear that Luo Ze is more in line with Millwall''s tactical system.


    This has nothing to do with Fanny''s ability, it is a matter of playing style.


    Secondly, Fanny conforms to the characteristics of Manchester United''s tactical system. Manchester United''s side attack is to serve the striker. Fanny joins, and may temporarily be a substitute. However, if he can perform well, at least there is no problem that the tactical system does not integrate with personal characteristics.


    On July 13, Millwall and Manchester United suddenly announced a transfer agreement: last season, Premier League Golden Boot winner Van Nistelrooy transferred from Millwall to Manchester United for ¡ê12.5 million.


    Millwall published Fanny''s farewell letter on the official website, and the club thanked him for his past contributions to the team and wish him good luck.


    Once the news of the transfer was released, one stone stirred up thousands of waves, and the major European giants thought that the Millwall supermarket opened again because they let go of the Premier League golden boots!


    The giants once again launched an offensive against the main team of Millwall first team, but all failed, and Millwall refused without exception.


    Italian giant Juventus manager Mogi called Adam to inquire about the possibility of Henry''s transfer, which was also rejected on the spot.


    Juventus'' biggest disaster in the past season may not have been reversed by Manchester United in the semifinals, but Prince Zebra Piero was seriously injured for nine months!


    Juventus began to worry about the state of Piero after returning to the field, and Mogi deliberately digs into Henry to form a French attack group!


    Zidane + Henry + Trezeguet.


    Juventus often do this transfer strategy or team building strategy of copying powerful combination. Now that Palma is in the midst of a defending gold combination, will it be directly moved to Juventus in the future?


    Ritzdale couldn''t sit still.


    Millwall even sold the golden boot shooter. He just wanted to buy a few substitutes, but the transfer process has been stuck in a stalemate. He personally ran to Liverpool to interview Aldridge.


    It was a sunny afternoon, Aldridge was sleeping on the recliner in the garden, and Melanie was lying beside him, holding a baby-care book in her hand. There is a mother''s style.


    A phone sounded in the living room. It was Aldridge''s cell phone. Melanie got up and walked over to get the phone. She woke Aldridge and asked him to listen to the phone.


    Adam said on the phone: "Leeds United President made an appointment to see you."


    "When?"


    "After an hour."


    "This is also called an appointment?"


    "Are you inconvenient, boss? Then..."


    "It''s okay, let him come."


    Aldridge hung up and continued to lie down with his eyes closed. Melanie asked curiously, "Are there visitors?"


    "Well, the chairman of Leeds United, came home in an hour."


    "Then don''t you need to prepare?"


    "No, he led Leeds United to the grave, and it was better for me to see him off with Leeds."


    Melanie''s mouth was bent and she couldn''t understand the mystery of Audric''s words. She turned and walked into the living room to prepare some refreshments for the guests.


    An hour later, Ritzdale came to Aldridge¡¯s house in a high-end car. Many paparazzi were squatting nearby. They found the Leeds United President came to see Aldridge immediately. It¡¯s not difficult Reminiscent of the two clubs will conduct transactions.


    Ritzdale brought his assistant to the door, well-dressed and very decent, Aldridge was more formally dressed, shirt and trousers, hot in the summer, meeting guests at home, and could not wear a suit.


    But Ritzdale looked a little unhappy when he saw Aldridge.

 Chapter 419： Give you a ride

    In the back garden, Melanie brought the brewed black tea and a plate of waffles. She greeted Ritzdale and said, "The craftsmanship is not good, the greetings are not good, forgive me."


    Then he turned and left, leaving space for the men.


    Aldridge and Ritzdale sat across a small round table. He ate a waffle and sipped tea. He tasted it and felt that Melanie''s craft had actually grown.


    Ritzdale is not in a mood to drink tea.


    He said solemnly: "Mr. Hall, let''s get to the point."


    "Wait, I know the purpose of your coming, but before we get into the subject, I have a question to ask you."


    "Excuse me."


    "Don''t you consider Leeds United''s operating income and expenses?"


    "Sorry, this is the secret of our club, I am not convenient to reveal."


    Aldrich looked to the sky and didn''t ask anymore.


    "Mr. Hall, we are quite sincere in asking for Ferdinand. Whether Millwall accepts our offer or not, please give us a timely response, at least, it will allow us sufficient time to find new targets."


    Ritzdale wants to bring Ferdinand to the team, but if Millwall does not let go, he can do nothing. It doesn¡¯t matter. Anyway, Leeds United seduce many Millwall players. If the opponents all refuse to offer, these players will stay. It is probably not conducive to Millwall''s future development in Millwall.


    But he was most worried about Millwall playing tricks, specifically hanging on the appetite of Leeds United, and dragging it until the transfer window was closing, which would make Leeds United¡¯s summer transfer operation very passive, so Ritzdale personally Come to the door to talk openly with Aldridge.


    "Ferdinand is only 20 years old. He is the rising star of the England national team. He is hailed as the backbone of England''s defense in the next ten years. Similarly, it is also Millwall''s plan for the next ten to fifteen years. Liz Lenovo takes him away? Ha ha , Own him, and then join a high-level central defender, and have no worry for ten years of defense."


    Ritzdale was disdainful when he heard Aldridge''s words.


    Blowing Ferdinand into the sky is nothing more than trying to sit down and raise the price. Otherwise, why not just refuse Leeds United¡¯s bids again and again?


    "Mr. Hall, let''s be frank, tell me directly, what is your reply offer?"


    Aldrich turned his head to look at Ritzdale with a serious expression. After three seconds, he said lightly: "Then be frank. Bring your purchase list and I will see it."


    Ritzdale hesitated for a moment, then turned to help his assistant.


    The assistant took out a piece of paper and handed it to Aldridge.


    Aldridge opened his head and looked down, ha ha ha, a long list of lists.


    Ferdinand.


    Mills.


    Duff.


    Van der med.


    Klose.


    Neil.


    Lampard.


    In the first team alone, there are 7 players that the opponent wants.


    The reserve team and the youth team also have a group of players that they look at.


    Joe Cole.


    Villa.


    Bresciano.


    Cahill.


    Carrick.


    Paulson.


    Robinson.


    Wasl.


    Dunn.


    Miguel.


    These are players between the ages of 18 and 20 next season.


    Some of them have been rented out to play some famous halls, while others have always attracted attention in the youth team, but they can¡¯t make headlines, and their reputation is.


    Aldrich had a heart after reading it.


    He hopes that the transfer, especially when the player leaves, will end as soon as possible.


    Turning his head to look at Ritzdale, Aldridge asked, "Is there a pen?"


    Ritzdale took a gold pen from his suit and handed it to Aldridge.


    Aldrich looked at the gold pen in his hand and felt very impressive. He also had a similar one. He got it from the gifts he received, but they were all used for collection. They were not used normally, and they did not want to show off their wealth.


    He used this pen to scratch out the names of some players on the paper.


    Only the names of Ferdinand, Duff and Mills were left in the first team.


    Below are the names of Joe Cole, Villa and Carrick.


    The names of 10 players are left on the note.


    Most of this is the player''s own choice.


    Duff, Mills, and Ferdinand all expressed the idea of ??leaving the team to Leeds United to make big money in communication with the club, while other players, like Cahill, wanted to stay, but there was no future to stay, Aldridge would rather send them away Go to a suitable stage for them to show themselves, and players like Paulson, Robinson, etc., are not within the club¡¯s long-term team-building plan, they are cultivated. Now that it¡¯s time to send away, it¡¯s better to sell them in exchange for some. Transfer fee.


    Aldridge returned the paper to Ritzdale.


    Ritzdale was shocked after looking around, and asked: "Will Millwall sell these 10 people to Leeds United?"


    "Well, pack, 10 players at a time go to Leeds United."


    Ritzdale''s face looked excited, as if his nostrils were thickened.


    His assistant was also very excited.


    After being excited, Ritzdale asked: "What is the transfer fee?"


    "60 million pounds, one pound less, I will not sell alone."


    Ritzdale and his assistant were stunned.


    60 million pounds!


    "This¡­¡­"


    "Is it expensive? Do it yourself."


    Aldridge lifted the tea cup and smiled at him.


    Ritzdale really started thinking.


    In fact, they are more offensive, as long as they can take 4-5 players from Millwall, they will be satisfied.


    The focus is on several goals of the first team.


    Now Aldridge agrees to transfer from Ferdinand, Mills and Duff.


    How much are these three people together?


    Leeds United''s quotations for these three are 15 million pounds, 6 million pounds, 6 million pounds.


    Adding up is close to 30 million pounds, and it is when Millwall did not make a counter-offer.


    If bargaining, it is likely that the final transfer fee will be close to 40 million pounds. Who will let Leeds United lose their strength and cost money? Why should Millwall agree to the offer?


    As Aldridge said, Ferdinand, Mills, Duff and other players can be bought back for ten years.


    With 7 players remaining, the average value of each player is 3 million pounds, which is 20 million pounds.


    What''s more, like Cahill, Bresiano''s outstanding performance in the Premier League is highly anticipated by people, and the value is definitely above 3 million pounds.


    "Why? Don''t you want it?"


    Aldrich asked Ritzdale when he didn''t speak, and asked with a smile.


    Ritzdale immediately said firmly: "No, yes, everything!"


    Perhaps this surprise was much larger than expected, leaving Ritzdale at a loss.


    Introducing 10 players all at once, the club will be under tremendous pressure regardless of transfer fees or salary costs.


    "This, can you subtract four players? We only need six!"


    Ritzdale began bargaining.


    Aldridge shook his head with a smile and reiterated: "Either you take all these 10 people, or you won''t get any of them."


    Since Leeds united to dig Millwall''s corner, the two positions were opposite.


    In dealing with the enemy, Aldridge will not give in.


    Is it a victory if you don¡¯t sell players to the opponent?


    No, Aldridge thinks it will be a victory for Leeds United, because the other party''s offensive through the transfer market can create chaos within Millwall.


    On the contrary, Aldrich sells players to each other, not only sells them, but also sells a lot to them. There are at least 6 players that Millwall would have listed in the transfer market. They will not sell this year, and they will definitely sell next year. Otherwise, when the contract expires, will the player move away freely?


    Once the transfer agreement is reached, so many players flock to Leeds United, what will happen to Leeds United''s dressing room?


    What will happen to Leeds United¡¯s finances?


    Since the other party is going to find his own way, Aldridge doesn''t mind sending him away.


    Ritzdale hesitated after hesitating for a long time: "If Millwall doesn''t allow them to transfer, I''m afraid it will make the players unhappy?"


    Aldridge shrugged and said easily: "They are dissatisfied? There are many ways to solve it. I can sell them to other clubs, or I can give them a new contract. If they are still dissatisfied, it is a big deal to put them in the lower echelon. , Isolated from the first team, maybe a year later the value will plummet, but does not matter, Leeds United can afford it? Or, you can now find a new transfer target."


    Ritzdale was unpredictable, and he couldn''t guess whether it was Aldridge''s negotiation tactics or the opponent''s heart.


    Perhaps, at the beginning, the opponent said that allowing the player to transfer is a smoke bomb. In fact, he set a difficult condition for Leeds United to retreat.


    Ritzdale gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Okay, 60 million! These ten players will move to Leeds United!"


    Aldridge nodded and said softly: "There is an additional clause in the transfer contract. If these players transfer to other clubs from Leeds United next time, 30% of the transfer proceeds from Leeds United will return to Millwall."


    "Hall! You are a robber clause!"


    Ritzdale was completely angry. He thought Aldridge had raised the price tag again and again, which was an insult.


    The breezy Aldridge was silent, waiting, and waited until Ritzdale''s mood calmed down, he said lightly: "Sir, you have your position, I have my position, I just make sure that Leeds United is not putting Mill Wall is just a cash machine."


    Ritzdale and his assistant felt baffled.


    You **** knocked us 60 million pounds, and now that Leeds United uses Millwall as a cash machine?


    "Your words make me laugh."


    Ritzdale pouted.


    Aldrich justly said: "David O''Reilly is an excellent coach. He can tap the talents of young players. The ten players I sold to you are all in the ascending period. Once they are famous in Leeds United. Wouldn¡¯t the value increase? Suppose they moved to Leeds United this year and had a successful season. Next summer, like Duff, if the value rose to 10 million pounds, Cahill, the value rose to 6 million. Above Sterling, Leeds United sold them, and in general they would make a fortune, and I would be blamed by the fans for their decision to sell them today, ridiculed by the outside world, and even the fans of Leeds United would laugh at me It¡¯s stupid. Ha ha ha, to avoid this from happening, I want to make sure that Leeds United bought them, indeed for long-term team building, not buying my good young players to make a fortune business.¡±


    Ritzdale and his assistant thought carefully after listening.


    Aldridge is not without reason.


    In fact, they are willing to spend 60 million pounds, it must be determined that these players'' future worth will definitely exceed 60 million pounds, which is a value-for-money investment and brings greater benefits to Leeds United.


    Ritzdale convinced himself in his mind that this group of players went to Leeds United, and indeed expected them to play for Leeds United for more than ten years, not to make money by reselling players.


    In the end, Ritzdale agreed to Aldridge''s conditions.


    Next, Leeds United will conduct personal treatment negotiations with these 10 players.


    When Ritzdale and his assistant were leaving, Aldridge took the initiative to stand up and said enthusiastically, "I will send you a ride."

 Chapter 420： Shock trading

    The summer transfer curtain opened, and Millwall, as always, was astonishingly calm in the signing work.


    Fans are used to it, and the media are used to it.


    Almost no one now expects Millwall to introduce heavyweight stars in the summer.


    In the past few years, facts have proved that many giants have not been successful in buying famous stars. Millwall also showed the outside world a position interpreted as adhering to the development policy of youth training from the operation in the transfer market.


    Aldrich actually wants to buy some players who can come out with immediate results.


    But after searching in the transfer market, he always dispels the idea.


    He doesn''t like it at an older age, and his price is too high.


    Young people do not sell.


    Even though the young stars that money may bring, it seems that it may not bring positive effects to Millwall.


    Some stars are not easy to use. Genius shooters like Irving and pure shooters. If Millwall spends money to buy him, why not let Fanny go?


    Some stars bought it as a bomb, and Anelka would occasionally publish an ambiguous declaration of leaving the team in front of the media. Aldrich was not interested in spending money to pay for it.


    And like some stars of hope that can''t stay in other giants, such as Kanu, Aldridge doesn''t want to grab with others, really grab the hand, how much money is spent next, maybe make the player self-confident with a high nostril.


    In the end, he discovered the reason, not that he couldn''t find a player he liked, but the player he wanted. The youth team had been dug long ago, and the ones that could not be dug were basically held by other clubs and posted as non-sale items. label.


    After Manchester United reached the Champions League, the goalkeeper Schmeichel left Old Trafford and moved to the Portuguese Super League. Ferguson bought Bosnich as a successor. At the same time, he also dug French star Sylvester. Coupled with Fanny''s transfer, Manchester United spent almost 20 million pounds.


    Arsenal have spent a lot of money this summer. Pennant, Kanu, Diawara, Luzni, Mars, Silvinho, Suk, Wenger added the Gunners lineup to almost 20 million pounds.


    Tottenham still give people a mixed attitude, buy some "broken copper and rotten iron" from the midstream and downstream teams, Lin Lin''s total investment of 10 million pounds is considered an explanation for fans.


    Chelsea''s "superstar policy" is still continuing. Deschamps, who is over 30 years old, came to Stamford Bridge. Sutton, who once achieved a brilliant record with Hiller, also put on the blue shirt, plus Melchio In particular, Ambrosetti, Tome and others, Bates wrote another 20 million cheques on the signing, but I don¡¯t know how Chelsea¡¯s fiscal deficit has reached.


    Liverpool have been sinking for many years in a row. This summer has been painful. Hollier not only started to clean up the spicy buddies, but the club also gave an expensive budget. Husky, Harman, Smitchell, Westerveld, Hensau Yes, Kamala... Liverpool spent more than 35 million pounds! Net investment also exceeded 20 million pounds.


    There are other clubs making waves in the transfer market, and Millwall does not seem to be interested.


    But on the day of mid-July, Millwall and Leeds United officials announced a transfer news at the same time shocking England.


    "60 million pounds! Ten Millwall players transfer to Leeds United!"


    Many crazy Lion fans who lived step by step heard the news at first glance, and their noses were smoked and exploded!


    60 million pounds!


    How much beef can I buy?


    Ten players left?


    Simply renamed Millwall directly to Leeds United!


    But if you calm down and think about it, the fans themselves think it might be a fuss.


    I used to be used to a poor life. It¡¯s okay to buy a Millwall and buy three for ¡ê60 million.


    But it¡¯s very different now, 60 million? Even in the main lineup, at best three or four people.


    Fans waited to take a closer look at the official announcement of the deal, especially the ten players who left.


    Basically, only three players are familiar to most fans.


    Ferdinand, Duff, Mills.


    As for the youth team and the U20 players of the reserve team, many fans do not know it. Of course, if they do not watch the reserve team or the youth team, they will certainly feel strange.


    After understanding the details, the fans were relieved.


    The main force didn''t go, and all of them were taken off the bench. It can be exchanged for 60 million pounds, which is beneficial to the long-term development of the team.


    Some high-profile young players have not left, such as Joe Cole and Villa. As for the Miguel flow that feels like a leafy role in the same period, the fans directly ignored it, and the greenery was afraid. Contrast and contrast, young players like Paulson, Dunn, Wasser, etc., put them in the reserve team or youth team of other Premier League teams, that is definitely a potential new star to focus on, but it can be placed in Milwaukee. I¡¯m sorry, the youth team is a little weak, and there are more people who are more outstanding than them.


    This transfer news not only caused a sensation in England, but the entire European football community is paying attention.


    People are curious, Leeds United almost bought a team integrated by Millwall 2 + 3 team, is this transfer strategy effective?


    Millwall¡¯s excellent youth training is well known, but some semi-finished products have been taken away by packing, can they be adjusted and shaped?


    If Leeds United can really achieve a breakthrough success through this summer''s sensational signing, other clubs will certainly follow suit.


    This triggered a wave of public opinion on Fleet Street.


    Some insiders believe that Leeds United is betting their lives!


    A transfer of 60 million pounds, what a joke, do they have a net income of 60 million pounds a year?


    The club with the highest operating income in Europe two years ago was Manchester United. What was the income? In the early 50 million pounds, if you count the expenditure, you will earn more than 10 million pounds a year.


    Millwall has made a lot of money every year in the past two years. In fact, operating income and expenditure are in a state of balance. The money earned is based on the transfer market to sell people, but their prospects are worth looking forward to, because their income on the game day The top ten of the Premier League can''t be ranked in. When they move into the new stadium, their operating income does not dare to say that they have used the top position. At least the top five in Europe are no problem.


    Chelsea''s debt problem has begun to surface, and Leeds United has emulated a large amount of lending investment like Chelsea. Many people are not optimistic about the prospects of Leeds United, and even predict that Leeds United and Chelsea will go bankrupt in four years.


    Not only the transfer fee of 60 million, but also their sudden increase in salary expenses, which is the same as Chelsea¡¯s problem. In order to attract high-level players, the salary treatment must be higher than normal. When the accumulation is difficult to return, the club will fall into In order to survive the dilemma for years.


    However, a considerable number of people in the industry believe that such a large investment as Leeds United represents their ambitions. Ritzdale and O''Reilly work together to make a real fight in the Premier League or European football!


    Didn¡¯t they make it to the UEFA Cup next season?


    Team expansion is imperative to increase the thickness of the bench.


    Of these 10 people, there are only three who can challenge the main force. Others could not have been on the bench at Millwall. If they can get to the bench at Leeds United, their career is going up.


    As for the investment of 60 million pounds, it sounds very shocking. In fact, Leeds United cannot make such a big investment year after year. They spend the future money. Assuming that only 5 million pounds will be invested each season in the future, then four seasons later Looking back at the account, they only spent ¡ê20 million on the transfer market on average each season.


    Compared with Tottenham, Liverpool have bought a few non-competent players every year in the past few years. Compared with the transfer policy of 10 million to 15 million pounds per season, Leeds United has only one test: Improve your track record as soon as possible!


    Any club that has invested heavily in the club does not just want to make a difference in the Premier League, but also wants to share the big cake of the Champions League.


    This season, the Champions League has expanded to 32 teams. The mainstream league places are also increasing. The Premier League has only three teams participating this season, but with the points earned by Manchester United and Millwall in the past three years to carry the Premier League flag in the European War, In the next season, the Premier League will definitely be able to get four Champions League places. At that time, if Leeds United can go further than the previous season this season, from the fifth league to the fourth league, next season there is hope to play with the giants. Games, follow the giant **** to make big money.


    Did Ritzdale write?


    Has Liverpool invested more than 30 million pounds in the summer? Their chairman even smashed the pot and sold iron to pay for the club, is it just a love?


    Can¡¯t Bets see Chelsea¡¯s debt increase?


    Arsenal is brewing a new stadium plan, but in the summer, the expansion of the lineup hit 20 million pounds.


    Various tyrants have come up with money to increase their strength. Everything is for greater benefits.


    If it is said that Leeds United will challenge the order of the Premier League powerhouses in the next two years, it is a fool''s dream, but as long as they can enter the Champions League and are not playing soy sauce, then Leeds United''s investment today may be the foundation of the glory of the next decade.


    Admittedly, no one can guarantee that Leeds United will definitely play a highly anticipated record, but if Leeds United wants to make a difference, Ritzdale must give O''Reilly a better card.


    Turning decay into a magical thing is not a common thing in football. The magic of turning a stone into gold is now only recognized by the media as Aldrich Hall. However, if O''Reilly holds the deck of last season, he wants There was a breakthrough in the new season, not because the outside world looked down on him, but the law of the Premier League. However, if a team performed very well in the previous season, if there is no obvious improvement in the second year, it cannot be said that it was beaten back to its original form. However, the difficulties encountered are obvious, and those defeated in the first year will not be willing to be knocked down continuously on the same enemy.


    The white roses in Yorkshire seem to be blooming, and O''Reilly held a press conference with enthusiasm to welcome these newly joined players and display their new jerseys in high-profile.


    Ritzdale was also full of red light in an interview, and the spring breeze talked with pride.


    "Leeds United already has an excellent team of players and excellent coaches, coupled with our loyal fan base, I firmly believe that Leeds United can become an unshakable force in English football in three years, we will bring back for fans The trophy will also recreate the glory of Leeds United''s climb to the top league championship."


    Leeds United has become the focus of England this summer. Their transfer transaction with Millwall is also destined to last forever. Whether it succeeds or fails, people will often mention this summer for many years to come.


    Many people want to know what Aldridge thinks of Ritzdale¡¯s speech.


    Millwall made money and Leeds United got good players. Did Millwall establish a strong enemy for himself?


    Aldridge didn''t have time to deal with the public opinion storms, and the club was going to be cleaned up. Millwall was slightly confused in the first half of this summer, but everything was with the transfer of a group of players led by Ferdinand to Leeds United. When the curtain came down, Millwall was on the right track and began signing in summer.

 Chapter 421： 5 minutes to **** and heaven

    From Melanie''s due date is getting closer and closer, the days of Millwall''s pre-season training are also in sight, and Aldridge will be absent for a while during the team''s summer training.


    Club CEO Adam came to Liverpool with a guilty face to meet Aldridge.


    "Sorry, boss, I failed to convince them to stay."


    Adam was angry and frustrated that Ferdinand and others left the team.


    Almost since June, his work has focused on retaining Ferdinand, Duff, and Mills, but the efforts for more than a month have not achieved any results.


    Aldridge warmly entertained Adam in the living room at home. Although Melanie stood her belly, she also took the style of a hostess to treat guests. Both of them liked this feeling and made them look like ordinary couples. the feeling of home.


    "Don''t care, our conditions are too far away from the conditions of Leeds United. They choose to sign a better contract, which is natural."


    Aldrich no longer wanted to think about why Ferdinand, Duff, and Mills were determined to transfer.


    Maybe it''s making a lot of money, maybe it''s not wanting to play in Millwall.


    Regardless of him, just leave.


    not give a **** about.


    "Boss, we should make a decision on the preparations for the summer."


    Adam put the teacup behind his depressed mood and turned to the topic of the conversation.


    "Well, say sorry to Inter Milan, Ajax, and Dortmund. The plan discussed last year was temporarily canceled, but it can be carried out in the future. In addition, help the club contact Atletico Lisbon, Feyenoord, Lever Kusen, the Genk Four Club, invited them to play pre-season warm-up in London. Tickets can be divided into more. We will move into the new stadium next summer. We can arrange as many games as possible at the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium. Come on, there are still quite a few of the fans who are hard to give up on the old stadium."


    Adam remembered everything Aldridge said.


    In fact, at the G14 summit last year, Aldridge had some ideas with some of the rich family members, that is, the European giants organized a team to play pre-season friendly games on other continents. They had agreed with Inter Milan this summer a few months ago. Ajax and Dortmund went to North America for a turn. Although it may not have an immediate market effect, it is good for the future to lay the popularity base in advance and have a familiar face.


    When UEFA has not fully entered the capital era, some old ideas and hypocritical arrogance still hang over the heads of many giants. They believe that Europe is the center of the football world, representing the top level in this field, at the club level. If the backward countries or regions do not send invitations, they will seldom take the initiative to promote their own brands, and even if others come to ask, they will also ask for a high appearance fee, which makes some sponsors or organizers retreat. In the era of rapid development of media consulting, many quasi-majors with outstanding performance and some giants lag behind their competitors at the same level in the market share, especially the influence of global international reputation. Until ten years later, this gap is reflected in business operating income. In the middle of time, many giants began to catch up in the global strategy.


    Millwall has always focused on international publicity. Taking the United States as an example, Americans may not care about football. Football does not even rank in the top five in American sports, but there are still football fans in the United States, and these care about football or love football. Of the fan community, which is their favorite club? Millwall! why? Because in the US Internet, all the websites that are linked to football, throughout Europe, only Millwall is promoting, and the fans of other teams are mostly attracted by sports brands such as Nike and Adidas.


    Due to the rapid development of Millwall''s business operations in recent years, other giants have heard Millwall initiate such business operation proposals and want to give it a try. Millwall does not want to go to other continents to engage in preseason games and become a unicorn. Like last year¡¯s trip to Asia, it was almost all the way to abuse vegetables, and the influence of manufacturing is really limited. If you find a few giants to go together, its sensation, influence, and attention will bring you the same, cake. Very large, one person can''t finish.


    Aldridge can''t get away at this time, and the plan to prepare for the preseason will also change.


    "Boss, that club''s summer signing plan?"


    Adam is still more concerned about the construction of the club lineup. The only thing he is criticized in the industry now is that he is not like a football manager, but more like a simple businessman.


    It''s not that he didn''t want to intervene in team building, but in this respect, Aldrich was in the dark. Players'' introduction or transfer was decided by Aldridge. Adam wanted to find a newcomer, but what did he do? In vain.


    "You don''t have to worry about this. I have called the club''s negotiating team. They have already started work. I want to talk to you about another thing."


    Aldridge talked to Adam in the living room for an afternoon.


    Three days later, Millwall officially announced that the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium will undergo small-scale reconstruction after they move into the new stadium. In the future, it will be used as a venue for the youth team and the reserve team, and will not be abandoned or auctioned for other uses.


    Once the news was announced, the fans of the Lions, especially the local fans, were extremely excited and applauded the club¡¯s decision.


    They still have feelings for the old stadium, even though the club is now famous in Europe and has won a lot of honors, but the lion cave stadium symbolizes the past and is an indelible part of their club history and fans'' memories.


    Aldridge hadn¡¯t thought about how to deal with the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium before. He envisaged learning from Arsenal, after moving into the Emirates Stadium, to convert Highbury into a special residential area for sale...but it seemed to have lost hundreds of millions of pounds.


    Now that he has money and the club has sufficient funds, Aldridge hopes to preserve Millwall¡¯s historic buildings intact as a heritage of memory. After ten years, twenty years, fifty years, whether it¡¯s Fans are tourists. When they come here, they can walk through these buildings, look for traces of the past, and explore the historical context, so that their club culture is more complete and continuity.


    At the same time, Millwall is also building new football schools in Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. Each school has 10 free learning places each year, and rewards the most talented ten young players in the summer training. .


    This is not only a strategic plan for the club to expand the material selection channel to promote the club brand, but also expand the club''s influence in various fields of the football circle. For example, if they build a football school, there will be more coaches, but not all coaches are in line with Mil. Wall¡¯s requirements, so the coaching textbooks written by Aldridge last year became a must-have for Millwall¡¯s training coaches. Millwall not only cultivates excellent young players every year, but also trains many young coaches. In Wall''s future global promotion plan, they will all be useful.


    Fleet Street was shocked by Millwall''s big moves.


    David Miller ridiculed in the column: someone spent a lot of money only to build a comfortable house, but Hall wanted to build a skyscraper.


    France, Lille Youth Football Academy.


    A young boy with a scarred face walked out of the academy with a backpack and lost his soul, looking back at the academy signboard reluctantly.


    He was abandoned.


    After spending three years in this college, at the age of 16, he became an "abandoned child".


    He walked on the street aimlessly, not knowing where the road was. Maybe, he should go home and start again.


    When walking across a street corner, a grand car stopped in front of him. A young man in a suit and leather got out of the car and stood in front of him, blocking his way.


    Poorly born, he subconsciously gave way and didn''t even raise his head to look at the other party.


    "Hi Frank, can we talk?"


    The scar-faced teenager raised his head in surprise, looking at the well-dressed young man, very puzzled, why would the other party know me?


    "Introduce myself. My name is Clayton and I work for the English football club Millwall. We have been following you for a long time. Now we are inviting you. If you want, you can go to London with me now. The club manager Mr. Hall said However, you don¡¯t need to try out the training, just enter the team¡¯s youth team."


    The scar-faced boy was shocked and speechless.


    He had just been abandoned by Lille Youth College, less than 5 minutes out of the door, but Millwall, a four-time champion in Europe in four years, took the initiative to invite him to join? !


    Is this **** prank?


    "Frank, oh, maybe I am too presumptuous, Ribery, can we find a place to sit down and talk? If you need your family to be with you, you can call them now, and you can also consult the Millwall official , To verify my identity, find a computer with Internet access, log on to the official website of Millwall, you can find the contact information of the club, it will never be faked, if you are not at ease, we can contact French acquaintances to let you I believe, for example, Lear¡¯s new coach Harry Hotzic, Mr. Hall and he are old friends, but Mr. Hall specifically said, try not to alarm Mr. Harry Hotzic, otherwise, Lille may prevent you from leaving."


    The young Clayton was the first time to persuade players to join the club on his own. He didn''t want to mess up. He opened his mouth and played all the cards.


    If Aldridge is present, he must be scolded.


    You say this, if 16-year-old Ribery is a personal elite and doesn¡¯t want to leave France, he goes directly to Harry Hodzic and tells the other party: Millwall is interested in me. Will Lill still want me now?


    In 1996, Harry Hodzic, who was watching European Cup together with Aldridge, occasionally chatted with Aldridge over the phone over the years, especially when he led a team to France, so his friends are still in a circle. As for disassociation, it is the norm of communication.


    With Harry Hodzic just taking over Lille in the French second division, it is estimated that his eyeliner can not reach the youth college. It really let him know that Millwall sent an invitation to Ribery, and it is estimated that Ribery will definitely be left. And focus on training.


    Fortunately, 16-year-old Ribery didn''t have so many flowery intestines, and followed Creighton cheerfully to the nearby cafe to learn more about joining Millwall.


    Ribery is concerned about money, he can¡¯t afford to go abroad to play football, but Millwall will give him a professional contract, and the advantages of the English football are directly reflected. Although he can¡¯t earn big money in London, he has enough food and clothing. No problem, it can grow in a better environment.


    Clayton was relieved, and the invitation to Ribery did not fall into his hands.


    Two days later, he took Ribery back to London. Club CEO Adam personally signed a contract with Ribery, leaving a commemorative photo, and then Ribery entered the youth team.


    PS: Harry Hotzic, the coach who led Algeria to a 4-2 victory over the stick a few days ago, is well known for his iron fist, and he was very tough after winning the stick game...

 Chapter 422： Sad Moyes

    The expansion of youth team players will never be published on the club¡¯s official website, and there will be no news. The media is not interested in reporting. The club also wants to be low-key and excessive. It does not want young players to become famous and enter the public¡¯s vision prematurely. Bringing mental pressure to the players, on the other hand, it also avoids the imbalance of young players'' mentality due to concern.


    Due to the distraction from the transfer of players some time ago, the progress of the recruitment process was unsatisfactory this summer. At the end of the recruitment process, Millwall introduced only four young players in addition to the local trial training.


    France¡¯s Rib¨¦ry was the first, and Reyes, who chose Millwall in Seville and Millwall, was second. McFadden and Richardson also joined in succession. They are both 16 Years old, I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t make any contribution to the Millwall first team for at least three years.


    Millwall sold 11 players in the summer, 4 of them were first team players, 7 were U20 players, and the departure of 4 first team players had a certain impact on the club, while the departure of 7 U20 players had another effect People and clubs have a huge impact.


    The man representing his club came to Liverpool with a bitter face.


    Aldridge worked at Liverpool¡¯s remote command club all summer, and the living room at home almost turned into a studio, where he talked with various characters.


    Today¡¯s guest is David Moyes.


    Moyes was extremely depressed.


    Millwall sold 7 U20 players, at least 4 of whom were players who had worked with him in the past two years.


    He led Preston to gain a foothold in the Premier League and is preparing to fight for the Premier League next season.


    But his team''s strength is really unsightly, not to mention bad, but the ability to be strong is limited.


    The club is reluctant to spend money to buy people, they do not have Millwall scouting system all over Europe or even outside Europe.


    If you spend money to buy some players who have limited strength in the year of the fight, the club thinks this is a loss-for-money deal. At the time, Moyes was put on fire halfway, which was to save money. No one gave him, but Moyes caught it. Aldridge''s line hit the luck, relying on loaned players to bring Preston to the first division, and the second year was only 6 points away from the promotion playoffs.


    Not only did the club''s top executives appreciate Moyes, he valued Moyes, and he was given all other powers except money. He also supported Moyes to continue the fighting policy of lending players to help the team. In short, if you don''t have money, you can do anything else.


    Moyes also accepted his fate. His ability to lead the team has been affirmed by the English football team. Many first-line clubs have invited him, but not to let him take charge of the team, but to be an assistant. Moyes does not want to be trapped, and he is determined. Breaking out of the sky on his own, even now with tears to help Millwall''s young players level up don''t care.


    No matter how hard or tired, as long as you can lead the team to the Premier League, everything will be different.


    Preston executives also gave Moyes a promise that as long as they enter the top league, we will definitely give you a large transfer budget, and then you can build your team as you like.


    This has to mention the contradiction between the Premier League and the lower leagues. The prosperity of the Premier League is based on the sacrifice of the interests of the lower leagues. Before the establishment of the Premier League, the broadcasting rights of the English League 4 were packaged and sold together. The Premier League is independent of the FA. The portal and TV broadcasters have also contributed to this situation. They are willing to give the Premier League a very high broadcast fee. In fact, they broadcast the broadcast fee of the other three leagues to the Premier League, so the lower leagues have become orphans. As the days passed, the pain continued. This phenomenon continued and became worse, which directly led to the value of more than 100 million pounds in the final of the Premier League play-offs more than a decade later! It is no exaggeration for the Premier League team to advance to the Premier League to call it rich overnight. Similarly, the contradiction between the local league and the Premier League is deepening and irreconcilable.


    Moyes is dedicated and hardworking. For clubs with no money, there is no special emphasis on the summer transfer period, and the lineup is repaired.


    But Moyes has an ambition. He renewed his contract and left some key players. He also reserved some positions for the players he has in mind, and these players are the ones he has worked with, such as Cahill, Bresiano, Dunn...


    He likes these players very much. He has cultivated excellent tactical discipline and professionalism in Millwall. When he came to the team, he didn''t make trouble, he played football with peace of mind, and cherished every appearance. His fighting spirit was reflected in his sweat.


    But Millwall sold them to Leeds United in the summer.


    Before Moyles came to Audridge, he called O''Reilly and asked if he could rent the players. O''Reilly refused him easily and happily.


    What an international joke.


    Leeds United just rented it out?


    They still have to play in the UEFA Cup in the new season, and O''Reilly feels that there are not enough people.


    At the very least, it is necessary to support a 30-man roster. Who will let them have more young players?


    Then O''Reilly communicated with Moyes for a long time and asked the players how they played under Moyes. O''Reilly had watched the video of their game, but in addition to the appearance of the information, of course, the coach is the most Clear.


    Moyes helped Millwall''s young players level up, and then Millwall sold all the small and fruitful leveling players to make money, and Moyes also had to exchange experience and experience with O''Reilly to make the opponent use it handy. .


    Thinking about it, Moyes was so sad that he wanted to cry.


    Aldridge can''t stand Moyes today. The opponent often gets distracted. It seems that Millwall sold several young players and sold Moyes'' son.


    After Moyes adjusted his condition to squeeze out a smile, he went straight to the subject and understood.


    Still have to rent players.


    Millwall sold so many young players that directly disrupted Moyes'' summer preparations.


    His frustration is understandable.


    If he can continue to loan Cahill, Bresiano and other players, there is almost no problem with the team running in.


    But now he has to fill in the vacancies of these established candidates, and then rent players from Millwall. Even if the new players have the strength, they will still practice from scratch.


    Aldridge discussed with Moyes about loaning players in detail.


    He thought he was quite interesting to Moyes.


    Knowing that Preston is stingy, the player''s past wages are all paid by Millwall.


    As long as Moyes can help leveling, and a little money, we can ignore it.


    Other coaches also want to rent Millwall players. Aldridge is not willing to rent it to the opponent.


    So I prepared to leave it to Moyes, so interesting!


    Aldridge finally gave Moyes five players. When recommending these five players, Aldridge only said one sentence: used, the Champions League champion is just around the corner!


    Moyes is bleeding: if you give it to me, I can rest assured.


    He was most afraid of renting a season, and Millwall sold the people again next season, and then gave him a new batch of demon to practice again... Is this infinite loop mode a human job?


    Parker, Carrick, Jeffers, Matthew Taylor, Drogba.


    These five players are all midfield and frontcourt players. Moyes wanted to rent a back line player to use it. Unfortunately, Millwall also returned to the back line for emergency. Odrich can only say sorry to Moyes.


    When Moyes got up and said goodbye, a guest came again. Aldridge happened to open the door and found out that Klinsmann and Jenson came.


    They greeted Moyes and nodded, and then Audrich sent Moyes out of the house, then walked into the living room and smiled at Klinsmann and Jenson: "The old man was just a little bit alive."


    Klinsmann and Jenson did not care about this. They came to discuss the preparation plan for the new season with Aldridge.


    "The first team walked four players, two defenders, two offensive players. The club did not plan to introduce substitutes from outside. You went to the youth team and the reserve team these two days, looking for 4 to 6 substitutes to enter the first line. Team, the schedule for next season will be more difficult than we thought."


    Aldrich doesn''t have to play the virtual one when he talks to himself.


    Klinsmann and Jenson nodded at the same time.


    G14 intimidated UEFA and demanded a greater share of the UEFA Champions League. UEFA was quite good. Not only did the UEFA Champions League expand, to ensure that the giants will basically not miss this feast, but also the **** arrangement of the schedule into a two-round group match .


    The top 32 is divided into 8 groups, and the first two qualify.


    The top 16 is divided into 4 groups, and the first two qualify.


    After the quarterfinals, play in the knockout.


    In other words, if you want to reach the quarterfinals, you will play one more round of group games than in previous years, 6 games!


    Aldrich did not approve of UEFA doing this from the bottom of his heart, but at the G14 summit, Adam came back after this year''s participation and said that other giants were very in favor.


    If you can play 6 more games, you will earn 3 more tickets, and you will definitely get more broadcast fees.


    If you only look at the immediate benefits, you can naturally count like this.


    But how much will the team load increase?


    What is the impact on the domestic league cup?


    This, most of the wealthy bosses are not very concerned, making money is king.


    The pre-season command is temporarily handed over to Klinsmann. As for when Aldridge can return to the team, it depends on when Melanie will give birth to the child, and it is estimated that it will be within a few days.


    After Klinsmann and Jenson left, the next day, the two came to Leo training base together, the two found Najib, the three first had some exchanges, and then came to the sidelines to watch player training.


    To say that the past period of time has been a period of turmoil for the youth team. After so many people have gone, a new group of people has arrived.


    But these young players are also used to it.


    Especially the lower echelon, the old people go to the newcomers every year, and the people who leave are basically eliminated from the competition.


    Even if someone like Wasser moved to Leeds United, thinking of the players left behind is also a kind of elimination.


    Being able to stay in Millwall means they have the opportunity to put on the first team of Millwall and directly set foot on the top stage, playing against the top teams in Europe, instead of going to Leeds to fight for any league. The first four, in the League Cup, show their fists and the like.


    The young players also know that their boss is going to be a father, so they can¡¯t see his figure in the summer. Gossip tabloids can see photos of Aldridge appearing on the streets of Liverpool every day.


    So when Klinsmann stood on the sidelines with Jenson and Najib, the young players knew what was going on.


    The club sold so many people, and there were no capable players in the transfer market. There is no doubt that the club is preparing them for more opportunities for these young people.


    It is also the tradition of Millwall that has made more and more young players willing to join Millwall¡¯s youth training camp. Here, as long as they have strength, they can come forward. It is not an empty talk, but it can be fulfilled. committed to.


    Seeing the young players training and demonstrating themselves harder than usual, Najib and two assistant coaches on the sideline both showed conspicuous smiles.

 Chapter 423： Diamond Generation

    Even though the Millwall youth team is full of talent, there are not many options for Klinsmann and Jenson.


    The reason is the age of the players. Between the ages of 18 and 20, most of the players with mature bodies and strong bodies able to play in the Premier League have been poached by Leeds United. There are still many left, but they are all unknown and stay in the team. Inside is basically the role of accompanying the prince to study.


    "Vanister Ruiy left, first of all a striker."


    After Klinsmann said to Najib, he glanced across the training ground.


    Going to a striker level in the Premier League Golden Boots, looking for a perfect replacement, this is not realistic, but at least there must be one that is not too bad. .


    Najib looked at the youth team players and shook his head: "There is no suitable one here."


    In terms of age, there are only two people who can replace Fanny¡¯s replacement, one of whom has been on the loan list, Drogba.


    Najib pointed to the training ground of the remote reserve team and said: "David Ramall, 22, once shined in the Liverpool youth team. He was abandoned by Liverpool three years ago and came to us last season. After scoring 24 goals in the reserve league, Aldridge has been watching him. I think he can now play in the Premier League. The bench should be no problem."


    Klinsmann didn''t know much about this player. He looked to Jenson, but he saw Jenson thoughtfully.


    The falling prodigy was reborn in Millwall, but no one knows whether he can fly again.


    Jenson frowned and asked, "He seems to be afraid of confrontation. What is happening now? In the Premier League, regardless of body size, confrontation is the most basic technical requirement."


    Najib replied: "It depends on what kind of task he is given. If he emphasizes confrontation blindly, he is not the ideal choice. In training, our requirements for him are more like shaping him into a nine and a half, His technical ability has honed more than most of the Premier League''s technical players. The reading ability and overall view of the game are also outstanding. The only weakness is confrontation. Therefore, he cannot be a substitute for Fanny, but if he is ambushed Behind the striker, taking on the role of cascading and coordinating, and then scoring, he may surprise you."


    "What kind of standard are you talking about?


    Klinsmann asked with a frown.


    After thinking for a while, Najib said: "Probably, it was the case of a tough impact on the back line of the top eight teams in the Premier League. He can score 24 goals in the reserve team. The normal level of confrontation is no problem, and I said He doesn¡¯t rely on absolute confrontational advantages to play in the game. On the contrary, he is a team player. He cannot be a fixed tactical fulcrum, but he can become an important part of the complete puzzle."


    Klinsmann understands roughly, that is to say, Ramall is green leaves, but not flowers, but can make flowers more vivid.


    After a period of communication, the three decided to put Ramall into the first team for the new season.


    Najib asked the young coach next to him to call the reserve''s Ramall.


    After spending three years at Millwall, Ramall has emerged from the shadow of a serious injury three years ago. The 22-year-old boy is alive and well-beinged.


    Probably from a prodigy to a mortal, holding a weekly salary of 3,000 pounds in Millwall, which is much different from the main salary of the middle and lower teams of the Premier League. He is also satisfied, and may only be less than that. In terms of the team''s situation, he is very grateful to Millwall. Even though he and Aldridge have only had less than 10 exchanges in three years, he is still very serious about this club, Millwall''s young handsome. Gratefully.


    "Coach, what are you looking for?"


    Ramall wiped his sweat, without half a nervous look, and looked at Klinsmann, Jenson, and Najib with ease.


    "In the new season, you go to the first team to report."


    Najib smiled softly.


    Ramall froze for a moment, then nodded indifferently and asked, "Are you all right? Then I went back to training."


    "Well, go."


    As soon as Najib''s voice fell, Ramall turned and trot back to the reserve''s training ground.


    Klinsmann was stunned, and Jenson was very surprised, asking: "Does he not want to enter the first team? Why is this reaction? Like you just told him the weather forecast for tomorrow."


    Najib sighed: "Torture will make people grow. Don''t look at him as 22 years old. He is more mature than his peers. He used to be a genius. Now he is a mortal. What he just thought might be: What about going to the first team? It doesn¡¯t mean it will succeed. So, he continues to go back to training."


    Jenson was immediately relieved, thinking about how proud Lamor was when he was dug by Liverpool. The transition from heaven to **** is enough to transform a young man''s mind.


    Klinsmann nodded: "Well, this mentality is very good. Let''s continue, Duff also left, the first team needs two new people, be prepared."


    Najib turned his head to look at the youth team and said, "Now the young people on the team are all under 19 years old. The schedule is more dense next season. They can''t provoke the girders, and the state is difficult to guarantee. Here are four of you. Multi-rotation inspection status, usually let them play in the reserve league."


    Klinsmann and Jenson talked about each other, Millwall is now using the League Cup and the FA Cup for training, the focus is the League and the Champions Cup, more young people, or save the future to be dug into the bench Again stretched.


    "Which four?"


    "18-year-old Joaquin, 18-year-old Vicente, 17-year-old Joe Cole, 17-year-old Villa."


    Jenson knows all about the characteristics of these players.


    It is no exaggeration to say that if the combination of Vicente and Joaquin''s left and right wings can grow as expected, the future will be the golden wings that are envied by the whole of Europe!


    Klinsmann asked seriously: "Is there anything to pay attention to?"


    Najib frowned and said, "Although Villa is Spanish, he came here four years ago when he was less than 14 years old. His physical fitness has grown better than we expected, and Joe Cole is also the same. So, what worries me the most is Joaquin and Vicente. They have outstanding skills and are typical technical players. In the next 5 years, they must avoid serious injuries. In other words, the first team is arranging them. According to the characteristics of the opponent when playing, if the opponent is accustomed to killing tactics, he would rather lose, and don¡¯t send them to take risks. It is not that they are not brave enough, but if they are seriously injured at this age, maybe a genius is destroyed. In our hands, there is nothing to notice about training. The first-team training system strengthens the body more strictly than the youth team, which is good for them."


    "You can rest assured that Aldrich has always done a good job in this regard."


    Jenson''s answer reassured Najib a little.


    Everyone in the youth team Najib is a treasure in his heart, but no matter how precious, he must also be taken out to meet people. He hopes that every player who leaves the youth team can have a brilliant career, whether or not in Millwall.


    Aldrich chooses people to let Najib rest assured that it is impossible to dry eggs and touch stones. Such a famous and brutal team as Wimbledon. Aldridge usually sends a group of muscular men to each other. Hard hit.


    "Aldrich said Makelele might leave the team in the next two years. I don''t think it''s as good as adding a young midfielder in the new season in case of need."


    Jenson''s proposal was accepted by Klinsmann.


    Najib spread his hands and said, "Well, 17-year-old Harvey Alonso, please take it away."


    Glancing at the players on the youth team who suddenly became nervous, Najib might be happy for them at this moment.


    You look forward day and night, and finally waited until the day to enter the first team.


    Villa, Joe Cole, Joaquin, Vicente, Alonso.


    Well, swept the Youth League last season to set a new record in history, won the championship with an undefeated and 90% win rate, and all the way through the victory record to win the Youth FA Cup, and also in the European war with various giant youth teams clash Almost all the youth teams on record will be in the first team.


    Plus Carrick, Evra, Metzelder, Balzali, Robinson, Mex.


    If it is the headline news of Millwall in 1999 that Millwall made the domestic double crown, then Millwall''s 99-year youth team is simply Millwall''s biggest surprise and expectation.


    This is a group of players hailed by the media as "diamond-like shine"!


    They are considered to be the cornerstone of Millwall''s continued glory for the next ten years.


    Of course, Millwall wanted to ensure that they would not leave as early as Robinson.


    "The first team must find a substitute for Ferdinand and Mills? Metzelder and Balzali, they are completely okay to play off the bench. Pay attention to Metzelder''s physical condition. He had three minor injuries in the past year. Although the healing time is not long, the doctor recommends paying attention to this situation."


    Najib really put almost all the players of the 99 generation into the first team this time, but he didn''t feel a sense of loss. On the contrary, he felt happy after he was relieved.


    Being able to deliver blood to the first team and tune up the good seedlings, he can be satisfied with this job.


    The youth team players were hard at first, but their attention was of course attracted to the three coaches on the sidelines. They saw Ramor called and talked in the past, then ran back to the training ground, and then there was no In case of any movement, the three coaches saw their mouths moving around, that is, they did not summon themselves and made them anxious.


    Coach, call me!


    Call me!


    Tell me to play the main team in the first team!


    Uh¡­¡­


    Substitutes are also good!


    When Najib walked to the front line of the training ground, all the young players on the court were nervous, as if their breathing had become abnormal, and they were about to suffocate.


    "Villa, Joe Cole, Vicente, Joaquin, Alonso, Metzelder, Balzali, come here."


    Naji''s voice was thin and straight and stood on the sidelines. The seven men flew to their feet, and the other friends were slightly lost.


    His grandmother, what **** luck they have gone!


    Najib turned around and brought the seven people to Klinsmann and Jenson.


    Klinsmann put his smile away and said seriously: "Tomorrow is the day when the first team gathers. You will clean up after today¡¯s training. Go to the first team to report tomorrow. I will arrange the staff to arrange your own in the locker room. Wardrobe, you are a member of the first team in the new season, but whether you can play or not depends on your training performance and attitude. Remember, you are still young, don¡¯t dream of going to the first team tomorrow, you will become a good player the day after tomorrow Superstars, down to earth can really succeed, you understand?"


    The seven young, youthful faces said in unison: "Understood."


    They were very excited.


    I couldn¡¯t even wait. After the training, I ran to the first team¡¯s locker room. I didn¡¯t bother the staff. I put my own name on the vacant wardrobe and took a group photo in the locker room to commemorate the landmark in their hearts. A moment.

 Chapter 424： Surprised butter hands!

    On August 1, Wembley, one week before the opening of the new season of the Premier League, Charity Shield was the first to start as the opening game of the new season in English football.


    Fans from both sides poured into the stadium, looking forward to the strong dialogue between Premier League champion Millwall and Premier League runner-up Manchester United last season.


    Since Millwall also won the FA Cup last season, it is necessary to have a pre-season contest with Manchester United this runner-up.


    In the past ten days, Millwall played four warm-up matches, and the results were decent, with 2 draws and 2 wins.


    Klinsmann appeared on the sidelines to command the team, he was a bit contradictory.


    Aldridge was not there. He took over the team''s on-the-spot command. During the warm-up games, he was sitting on the coach''s bench and spent four informal games with ease and joy.


    Today''s charity shield is also almost warm-up, should he sit? Or do you command on the sidelines?


    "Before the start of the new season Premier League, let''s first enjoy a Charity Shield match. Premier League plus FA Cup double champion Millwall played at Wembley against last season''s Champions League champion Manchester United. Both teams have retained in the summer. At the end of the main lineup, there is not much change in personnel. In Manchester United¡¯s starter today, we regret to see Schmeichel¡¯s figure. Even if he played bravely in the second half of last season, he still decided to leave Manchester United in the summer. Ferguson The Jazz hired Bosnich as a substitute. In the warm-up match, the goalkeeper did not withstand much test. If Millwall shows his true skills today, can Bosnich take over the goalkeeper Schmeichel? The position of this is the biggest question in the hearts of the Red Devils fans. On Millwall, we can¡¯t see the familiar figure on the sidelines. The fans of the crazy lions don¡¯t have to worry, Hall can¡¯t attend the game because of family matters. The assistant coach Klinsmann is in charge of on-the-spot command. Oh, this is also a test for Klinsmann. His opponent was Sir Alex Ferguson who won the Champions League last season. According to the usual practice, the charity shield game, both teams will play more open , We hope that the two teams can send fans a wonderful game."


    Manchester United and Millwall, this is already recognized as the top English strong team in UEFA. In the new season, all major European players will focus on their performance. The two teams not only have a reasonable lineup age, but also have first-class player abilities in Europe. Chelsea, Chelsea, Leeds United, Liverpool, but can not enter the attention of European giants, because Arsenal anti-aging, Chelsea''s locker room problem began to surface, Leeds United is only on the road to rise, Liverpool is in the rise Holier''s men began to rebuild, and the king''s recovery was far away.


    Millwall''s main lineup has not changed from last season.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.


    Midfielders: Makelele, Pirlo, Nedved.


    Forwards: Larson, Henry, Ronaldinho.


    The winning team will not take the initiative to change, plus the team as a whole is on the rise, there is no physical possibility of aging and regression, so the new season of Millwall is not only receiving much attention, but also people are alert to their outbreak More powerful energy than last season.


    Although Manchester United said that the team achieved glory in the Champions League last season, the team''s overall lineup seems reasonable and young, but there are still some concerns.


    Goalkeeper: Bosnic.


    Guards: Neville, Sylvester, Stam, Elvin.


    Midfielders: Beckham, Keane, Scholes, Giggs.


    Forwards: York, Cole.


    The attack power of this lineup is unquestionable, but the goalkeeper and defender have new faces on the back line, and Elvin¡¯s age will reach 34 in the fall. It is conceivable that Manchester United¡¯s back line can¡¯t be surpassed. Last season, it was still a question whether we could maintain a stable performance last season.


    At the beginning of the game, the two teams started the offensive posture from the first second. Due to the nature of the game, although the fight is positive, the action is not too large. No one hopes that in such a game, there will be a high possibility of injury. The range has increased, and the new season has not yet started strictly!


    Klinsmann finally chose to stand on the sidelines to show his attention to the game.


    But he found himself standing here, really nothing to command.


    Aldrich''s new tactical system, which he shaped in the first half of last season, has taken shape.


    This set of 433 is mainly based on offensive and defensive balance, it seems that the defender defends, the frontcourt players attack, this is a more retro tactical blame arrangement for players.


    The reason for this arrangement is clear: the offensive players are super capable!


    When the 5-player attack group in the front field can play the attack effect of a combination of 6, 7, and 8 from other teams, Millwall can of course strengthen the defense, balance the offense and defense, and improve the stability of the defense line.


    The tacit agreement reached by the gorgeous attack group half a year later has begun to show power.


    Manchester United are attacking, and their defense really can''t resist Millwall''s already formed attack group.


    In the 6th minute of the game, Henry pulled the ball and drew the ball away from Neville. When he slid into the penalty area diagonally, Sylvester grabbed it frantically, and Stam yelled at him in sight: "Don''t go! "


    But late, while Sylvester took a step forward, Ronaldinho diagonally inserted into the rib of the penalty area from next to Henry. Henry unintentionally straightened, Ronaldinho took the ball in the penalty area, and Stam foresaw this time. The attacking trajectory, he blocked the shooting angle of Ronaldinho the next second after Ronaldinho took the ball and posted it.


    Ronaldinho stood in place. After a second, kicking the ball back to the top of the penalty area lightly, Henry moved straight there and Keane was watching him. Henry faced the rolling ball, and the ball rolled from the side. However, when Keane responded, he could not reach his legs, Nedvide shot from behind, and then hit the ball with a straight kick. Larsen inside cut into the penalty area on the right to form a single-shot, and Elvin could not catch up. Nelson.


    In the face of Bosnich, Larson faked a real shot. After Bosnich was knocked down, he easily pushed the empty goal and succeeded.


    "Millwall scored in the seventh minute of the game. Larson scored the goal. He scored the goal too easily. He would like to thank Nedved for his assist. At the same time, Manchester United exposed There were too many problems. Neville couldn''t defend Henry one-on-one. Sylvester rushed to **** Ronaldinho''s loose space after the insertion. After Stamm''s replacement, the other side of the penalty area was completely empty. By the way, Elvin can¡¯t catch up with Larson, who can blame him? Millwall¡¯s cooperation played well, and their four offensive players penetrated the Manchester United five-man defensive line within 5 seconds, Sir Ferguson It''s time to pay attention to this issue. Just now that Bosnich cannot be blamed for losing the ball. Larson is very calm in handling the single-handed ball. Even if Schmeichel is still there, I am afraid that he cannot avoid losing the ball."


    Wembley thundered, most of the fans in the stands were fans of the Lions. They cheered for the goal and cheered for the team.


    Playing Manchester United today is a highly anticipated game. Didn''t Manchester United win the Champions League last year?


    Isn''t Ferguson knighted?


    Sounds amazing.


    We like to play against awesome teams.


    Fans of the Lions who have watched the final between Manchester United and Bayern Munich are a little disappointed.


    It''s not that they look down on Manchester United''s championship, but that Bayern Munich is not as good as expected.


    The game took the lead and hit the two door frames before losing the game. The crazy lion fans naturally thought of the final of the Champions League last year between Millwall and Real Madrid. Millwall has always taken advantage of the attack and also played a basket of doors and beams. The number is definitely more than Bayern Munich twice. In the end, Millwall won the championship. This is the absolute strength.


    Ferguson, who was in a happy mood all summer, realized at this moment that the good mood was over!


    He felt a little weird today, and it was awkward not to see Aldridge in front of Millwall¡¯s coach seat.


    As for the problem of just conceding the ball, the back line revealed problems, but he looked at it from another angle.


    Now that the problem is exposed, it is better than breaking the chain in a critical battle.


    Like Sylvester, he bought it to get him to start, but he didn''t expect him to become the Dinghaishen needle on the back line.


    Solve problems if you don¡¯t make mistakes, it¡¯s strange.


    Ferguson was not happy, but still calm.


    However, after 10 minutes, he could not calm down.


    "Wow! Pirlo''s long shot to the middle of the goal actually went in! What is Bosnich doing? There is no threat to the ball, neither angle nor speed, the ball rolls against the turf, if A little less force, this is a defender back pass! But Bosnich was short and received the ball, the ball rolled over between his palms, passed between the legs, and penetrated the Manchester United door! "


    Ferguson was furious.


    This Nima, this buttery hand is too slippery, right? !


    Male Gobi, Lao Tzu gave up Van der Sar for you. Is the first show of this official game to kill Lao Tzu? !


    Manchester United has two choices in choosing Schmeichel''s successor: one Ajax''s Van der Sar, a free agent Bosnich, Ferguson gave up the former, and Van der Sar then transferred to Juventus for Serie A. And Bosnich, the successor to the goalkeeper who had high hopes, the first performance made the Red Devils fans seem to be witnessing a disastrous disaster.


    Everyone in the audience, it is estimated that only Bosnich realized that the ball was going to leak through the moment it touched the ball!


    Others, including Pirlo who tried to take a long-range shot, didn''t expect the goal to be scored.


    Losing such a ball is too bad morale, even the Manchester United players are hit by Bosnich''s butterman''s face with a depressed expression.


    Less than 20 minutes later, Manchester United was two goals behind. This is really a charity shield training, and it seems to give Millwall a greater feeling of training.


    Klinsmann ignored the three, seventy-one and twenty-one, saw the second goal scored, and passionately punched on the sidelines to celebrate.


    He was also under a lot of pressure, in case the temporary commander lost the game, which made him unable to explain to the fans and Audridge. Even if the mosquito is small, it is also meat, a charity shield.


    Schneider is terrible!


    Pirlo didn''t plan to celebrate the goal, but he ran to Pirlo and learned a bosnich''s poorly receiving action just now.


    He looked at the front with a serious face, and then suddenly lowered his body to make a gesture of holding the ball with his hands on one knee, but his expression changed and he looked down at his crotch...


    The crazy lion fans in the stands are all happy and crazy.


    Although our own goalkeeper has not been highly commented by the outside world, but he will not miss the ball he missed, and he will not be able to do so.


    Butter''s low-level mistakes have never been seen by Bout. He has always maintained a level that is trustworthy but cannot be expected to be magical.


    Fans think this is enough, we are very satisfied.


    Bosnich''s Wembley debuted in the Red Devils shirt. He heard a lot of ridicule, and his mind began to lose balance.

 Chapter 425： The prologue of the son of the miner

    Aldridge was watching the Charity Shield game at a local hospital in Liverpool. Melanie''s due date is within these two days. He was sent to the hospital early to avoid accidents.


    His family came here from London, not only parents and brothers, but even cousin Blaze, who is now following the future Prime Minister Cameron, came here, and everyone looked forward to the birth of Aldridge''s children.


    Aldridge and Andrew sat in a high-level ward watching live TV. Andrew cut Apple and saw Bosnich¡¯s mistake. He smiled, and that smile made Aldridge feel hairy and weird.


    "Why are you laughing?"


    "It''s nothing."


    Aldridge kicked him gently, and Andrew smiled chuckled: "Remember Jason?"


    "Which Jason?"


    "Jason Ferguson."


    "Oh, Ferguson''s youngest son, remember."


    Andrew halved Aldrich''s cut apples and continued to laugh: "Manchester United are looking for goalkeepers throughout the summer. Jason called me in the summer and asked if I am a good goalkeeper who is not under the company''s contract name."


    Aldrich didn''t turn his head for a moment, curiously: "What does it have to do with him?"


    "He resigned from Sky TV last year, and earned little, and now works in a brokerage company in Manchester, understand?"


    Aldridge suddenly realized, so he asked: "Is this Bosnic recommended by you?"


    Andrew shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with me. In fact, if he asks if I have a good goalkeeper under the company, I will recommend Wright to him. Anyway, Millwall has never been able to play the game. Unfortunately, I guess he is uneasy. , Want to withdraw from Manchester United, so I want to recommend a player to Manchester United, but do not want to find players from our company."


    Aldridge laughed dumbly.


    Richard Wright has been a third goalkeeper in Millwall for five years. It is just a piece of cake to put it bluntly. He has not experienced the test of the official game. The training alone is unable to test the true level of a goalkeeper. Other teams Looking at Millwall¡¯s players, even the reserve team has many unknown people who were taken away by the lower league clubs, but Wright has no one to care about. If it is really sent to Manchester United, Aldridge is very happy, this is to send a bomb To the Red Devils.


    Talking about Jason Ferguson, Aldridge suddenly lost his mind and fell into contemplation.


    Not everyone in this world is a heroic man.


    Ferguson Jr.''s direct involvement in Manchester United''s transfer and making a fortune has set off a big scandal in the future, directly leading Ferguson to open a ban on interviews after the game for several years.


    Aldrich didn''t care about other people''s family affairs. He was about to become a father. He naturally entered the role, thinking in his head what his two sons would look like in the future.


    If it is a prodigal son, what''s the matter?


    Wembley, the Wembley that the Red Devils have hated for all generations, they have countless glory moments here, but as long as there are non-Red Devils fans who have a stand, they don¡¯t like Manchester United, even if the Manchester United players wear the national team shirt, the fans We will still sing songs against Manchester United in Wembley stands, humiliating and satire them.


    Today, they became a joke!


    Great joke!


    In the 39th minute of the first half, Millwall got a corner kick. Pirlo''s corner kick went to the goal. Bosnich attacked and knocked over teammate Stam. He bumped the ball in the air when he lost his balance. After a while, the ball was drained into the penalty area. In front of Stam, Materazzi''s header was empty, but he looked down, but the ball was in front of him. The ball drilled into the net.


    "Millwall scored the third goal! Thanks again to Manchester United''s own mistakes! Stam had originally stared at Matrazzi for a header and he was knocked over by goalkeeper Bosnich. Bosnic also lost his balance, but before reaching the ground he reached for the ball and stopped the ball in front of Materazzi. Materazzi smiled and gave the ball to Manchester United. Bosnich actually Complaint to the referee on the ground that he was violated? Stam yelled directly at him after he got up. What the **** are he doing? Too bad, his performance is too bad, although Schmeichel has also been scored a lot by Millwall The game of the ball, but that is the beautiful goal of the opponent, not this low-level mistake led to the goal!"


    Infighting happened after Manchester United''s third goal conceded!


    Stam was hit badly, and the team lost the ball, making him look like a clown. The laughter on the stands was ridiculous.


    So he rightfully began to blame Bosnich, who was a newcomer, but still a temper, and quarreled with Stam.


    Ferguson''s face was green on the sidelines, allowing substitute goalkeeper Vandergut to warm up.


    Bosnich apparently suffered the second goal drop, and his own butterman''s mistake made him lose his composure.


    Just because he was too nervous, he made a mistake in corner kick defense. He only neglected the position of his teammates by looking at the trajectory of the ball.


    "Until the first half of the game, Manchester United will be replaced, and the goalkeeper will still change. Ferguson may not be able to stand Bosnic. Substitute goalkeeper Vandergut debuts. This goalkeeper is impressive regardless of his strength or performance. Satisfied, in the past two seasons, when Schmeichel was unable to make his debut, Vanderbilt always reassured Manchester United fans. Unfortunately, he is already 41 years old this year. Otherwise, why should Manchester United find a goalkeeper all over the world?"


    Ferguson can¡¯t be replaced, and replacing Bosnich is also a protection for him. In addition, it can also stabilize the military. Otherwise, it is forbidden that this game will be played by Millwall, oh, no, yes Manchester United sent Millwall a few!


    Klinsmann could be calm on the sidelines.


    At 3:0 in the first half, he could give the fans an explanation with Audridge.


    But at halftime, he was nervous again.


    Aldridge sent a text message to the coaching staff to make substitution instructions.


    While the fans were waiting for the second half of the game to start, the live footage captured a strange scene.


    "Pirlo, Nedved, Larson, Ronaldinho, Henry, Millwall five starters returned to the sidelines early in the intermission, and put on a clean coat to sit on the bench At the table, they were chatting, and their faces looked relaxed. What happened? Did Millwall change people? Do they change five at a time?"


    Really change five people at once!


    At the beginning of the second half, there was a warm applause from the stands, which was given to the five new Millwall players. To be precise, most fans of the Lions are cheering for two of them!


    Who?


    David Villa!


    Joe Cole!


    Since coming to the team four years ago, Villa and Joe Cole are the gems of the youth team!


    "Millwall led 3-0 in the first half. The three-ball lead made them replace five players in the second half. Klose replaced Henry as the center and Joe Cole replaced Nedved as the midfielder. , Villa replaced Ronaldinho as the left winger, Van der Mede played the right-winger for Nelson, Lampard came on to replace Pirlo in the midfield, I don¡¯t know if such a large-scale substitution will anger At Manchester United, Millwall simply treated the Charity Shield as a warm-up match."


    Ferguson did not expect that such a game that he could not care about would make him feel so bad!


    Millwall''s substitutions made him dull, and he saw two other rookies out of Millwall''s players. He envied envy and hatred!


    Putting on some young players to attack, the offensive quality must have declined, and it could not suppress Manchester United, so Klinsmann decisively let the defense line retreat and play anti-anti.


    At the beginning of the second half, Beckham took the ball on the right and dribble forward. Villa ran for 20 meters and then steals and knocked down Beckham. The referee awarded Villa a foul, but the fans in the stands struggled The ground applauded Villa.


    "Good job!"


    "It''s this momentum!"


    "Crazy Lion Prince!"


    Villa was so energetic that he ran into the defensive role in the backcourt without looking at Beckham.


    Beckham didn''t care about him, it was unnecessary.


    Manchester United started to suppress Millwall''s aggressive attack in the second half and quickly pulled back a goal.


    Giggs played the ball inside with Scholes to make an exquisite pass and cut, Scholes long shot was blocked by Bout before the penalty area, Beckham passed the ball on the right in front of the penalty area and then passed the ball. Good, it was the goal behind the goal, Cole outflanked the goal.


    "Manchester United pulled back one in the 62nd minute of the second half! Beckham assisted Cole to break the goal, Manchester United''s momentum!"


    Manchester United will be more powerful afterwards, and Millwall has strengthened the protection before the penalty area. As long as it is not the kind of two consecutive attacks that disrupted the defensive rhythm, Manchester United did not get a better chance.


    Ferguson also replaced in the 70th minute of the game. He replaced Solvinia with Solskjaer and added a forward to the front line. In the past period, Manchester United''s defense has hardly stood any test.


    But Solskjaer didn''t make Manchester United''s offense more sharp after playing, but instead had a feeling of self-disruption and not knowing how to fight.


    That''s right, they have more forwards, but they can''t pass the ball. If they pursue ground coordination, the space is compressed, but the attack becomes cumbersome and increases the error rate.


    After 8 minutes, Yokra came out of the penalty area and tried to catch the ball, but Southgate was caught on time and intercepted successfully. Then, Millwall''s counterattack kicked off!


    Southgate took the ball directly to the right and Van der Mede took the ball all the way.


    Joe Cole, Klose, Villa, the three of them rushed forward, and behind them was a follow-up who observed the situation to avoid being snatched out of the spot by Lampard.


    Before meeting Sylvester''s defense, Van der Mede handed the ball to the middle of the road. Joe Cole was confident today. Facing Keen''s fierce pressure, he stopped the ball and turned the ball to make the opponent throw. Empty, the ball is not sticky under the foot, the ball is delivered to Klose in front.


    Klose turned his back on Stam and wasn''t strong, and then handed the ball over to Van der Mede.


    After stopping the ball, VanderMead observed the situation and made a long diagonal pass to the left side of the Manchester United penalty area.


    Neville turned around and accelerated again, gritting his teeth at the young back that had never passed offside, as if he could see the firm light shining from the man.


    Van der Mede''s long diagonal pass penetrated Manchester United''s defense line. Who made them lack a guard, the defense line became longer, and the defense area became larger!


    Millwall has players who are in place and stop the ball steadily in the penalty area. The homeopathy is a volley. The ball is like a cannonball hanging on the side net inside the goal. Vanderbilt is obviously slow to save!


    "The goal was scored! At 4:1, Millwall scored another goal, and the scorer was the young player who debuted for Millwall, David Villa! David Villa!"


    If Aldridge is on the sidelines, Villa will definitely run to the coach seat to hug each other, but now, he can only rush to the sidelines, his handsome face shows off his jersey with a wild expression, and he kneels on the turf , Facing countless fans cheering on him in the stands.


    I, the son of the miner, finally ushered in this day!


    Today is the first show of my career, and it is the first time I have put on a robe of a mad lion!


    Now, I am not the protagonist, but I will try to be the protagonist!


    I am going to be a mad lion and leave my legend!


    Villa did not know that in a corner of the stands, his father, a former miner, and now a man who runs a grocery store in the community of Millwall Club, at this moment, tears burst into tears...

 Chapter 426： Burt and Earl

    Even when leading 3:0 in the first half, Aldridge¡¯s expression in front of the TV did not change at all, but when Villa scored the first official game of his career, Aldridge jumped up and was in the room. Celebrating with a punch, as if he was on the side of the court.


    As one of the first batch of star seedlings introduced by the club, Villa is the prince of the mad lion. If he is not younger than Ronaldinho, perhaps the outside world can see Audric more than Villa The expectations, this has nothing to do with abilities and talents, but a deep mentorship.


    Aldridge sat down again after the celebration. He grabbed the fruit from the stunned Andrew and stuffed it into his mouth. His gaze towards the TV suddenly softened. The focus of the lens lock: Villa, Aldridge seemed to be I saw the young boy who walked out of the club community with him to the training base.


    In Wembley, several players who were replaced at halftime all stood up and walked to the sidelines to applaud Villa''s goal.


    Nedved communicated with Larson with a smile, nodding frequently.


    They can witness another young player in the club begin to shine, and feel happy for these "little guys" in their eyes.


    Once upon a time, the "little guy" watched them secretly with envious eyes. In his spare time, he slipped into the first-team training ground to watch them train. Occasionally, he asked for a photo in private.


    Now, they are playing together and become teammates fighting side by side. The club¡¯s persistent and persistent youth training policy has also made the feelings of players between all ages extremely delicate, forming an emotional hub, like Nedved, Larson, Southgate, will naturally shoulder the role of a model and take the initiative to guide and help young players grow up.


    In the final stage of the game, Beckham broke the ball to help Manchester United pull another one, but time was running out. In the end, Millwall defeated Manchester United at Wembley with a score of 4:2 and once again won the charity shield. A good start for the club''s new season.


    Two days later, the British football and entertainment media focused their attention on a hospital in Liverpool.


    Aldridge stood outside the delivery room with his arms around his chest without saying a word. Many people gathered around him. His family, Melanie''s family, some were praying and some were whispering.


    After a while, a person came from the outside, and the dress was completely different from the formal dress characters present. Aldrich turned his head and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"


    The person coming is his player, Ronaldinho.


    He was dressed in hip-hop, and he was wearing a peaked cap. Perhaps he felt very self-satisfied, and Aldridge only felt non-mainstream.


    Ronaldinho was very carefree on weekdays. Today, seeing so many people present, all suits and tactics of a big man''s style, his speech and manner of behavior have converged somewhat casually.


    "Coach Klinsmann gave me a holiday. I have nothing to do. I heard that the first son''s son was born today, so I will take a look. Congratulations in advance.


    Ronaldinho said in a low voice.


    Aldridge sighed, but still smiled: "Thank you. But giving you a holiday is for you to rest, not for you to run around."


    "Hi, it''s only two hours back and forth by plane. I''m sitting here quietly, waiting, watching, when I''m air."


    Ronaldinho said that he really sat down on the chair.


    Pre-season preparations for Ronaldinho is the most special person. The training is arranged separately, which is relatively easy. In addition, he was given an extra day today.


    The reason is that he didn¡¯t have much rest this summer. As soon as he ended his injury last season, he returned to Brazil and went to the America¡¯s Cup with the national team. Although he can¡¯t grab the limelight of Ronaldo and Rivaldo, anyway, the 3R combination is also considered the first meeting. Help Brazil to win the America''s Cup, then Ronaldinho participated in the Confederations Cup.


    In this year''s Confederations Cup, traditional European strong teams are boycotting, and the Shinco World Cup champion France team simply does not participate. The other participating teams also send 2 or 3 teams. Ronaldinho''s expedition with the team is as a leader. , And outstanding performance, not only won the best shooter and best player two awards, but also subverted the original history, helping Brazil to reverse the host to win the Federation Cup champion.


    Throughout the summer, the rumours of Ronaldinho have been spread among European giants. Among the bids received by Millwall, Real Madrid, the highest bidder, has made a heavyweight offer of 30 million pounds.


    If Millwall is willing to sell Ronaldinho and bargain with Real Madrid, it is estimated that it is no problem to raise another 5 million pounds, and the transfer price will certainly break the 50 million just set by Vieri transfer to Inter Milan. The US dollar is equivalent to 34 million pounds worth of world transfer records.


    However, Aldridge resolutely rejected all bids for Ronaldinho, and Ronaldinho did not care about the transfer at all, even if Millwall did not give him a new contract to increase his salary in the same period.


    Aldrich was worried about Ronaldinho feeling lonely on this strange occasion, so he sat down beside him and asked him casually about his schedule in the summer.


    At the end of the chat, Ronaldinho suddenly turned his head and asked seriously: "Boss, you are going to be a father, what is your mood now?"


    Aldridge looked subconsciously at the delivery room, and then whispered: "Suppressed with joy, unable to restrain, uncontrollably nervous, and a little bit moved but not in the mood."


    "Uh, it''s a complicated look."


    "You will be able to experience it in the future."


    Ronaldinho raised his eyebrows and said nothing.


    It wasn''t until evening that Melanie gave birth to twin babies.


    The atmosphere in the hospital was filled with joy, when Aldridge was holding two babies with rumpled faces, his arms were shaking with excitement...


    "Uh, nurse, who is the elder brother? Who is the younger brother?"


    Aldridge suddenly asked this question, and everyone looked very curiously at the smiling nurse.


    "Mr. Hall, you have your brother in your left hand and your brother in your right hand."


    Arthur leaned in front of Aldridge, smiled and looked down at the baby that Aldridge held in his left hand, tapped his head gently with his finger, and smiled and said, "Well, then you are Burt."


    He looked at his brother again and said, "Then you are Earl."


    Aldrich handed the baby to the nurse, who had to be taken for an Apka medical examination.


    Instead of accompanying the nurse with his two sons, he accompanied Melanie.


    Ronaldinho followed the nurse curiously, staring intently at the two little guys who did not look good at all.


    Newborn babies basically don''t look beautiful and beautiful as soon as they are born. If that''s the case, parents should worry whether they will become ugly when they grow up...


    When Melanie recovered, she couldn''t wait to see the two little guys. After the physical examination, all the twin babies were also brought back and put them under her arms to sleep peacefully.


    Aldrich sat quietly on the head of the bed, staring at his two sons with his head tilted, and he could not say anything at all in the end.


    Andrew walked in suddenly, beckoning to Aldridge, begging him to go out to speak, but Aldridge shook his head and smiled: "Something to say directly."


    Andrew rolled his eyes and said, "There are a lot of media calling me. They want to spend a lot of money to buy exclusive news. These two little guys can make money just after they were born."


    Aldridge chuckled and turned to look at Melanie and asked her what she meant. Melanie was powerless and said: "If you don''t let them shoot, they will be followed by someone the other day. It would be better to let them get the news. Will soon lose interest."


    Aldrich thought about it too. In Britain, it is easy to prevent thieves, and it is almost impossible to prevent paparazzi.


    "Then let them come, shoot casually, without charge, I don''t want to use my son to make money."


    "Don''t you listen to the offer?"


    Andrew looked a little helpless.


    "No, no interest."


    "Ah, all right."


    Andrew turned around with the phone and went out.


    The next day, the biggest news from England was released.


    "Hall II is coming!"


    "The supreme leader of heroic glory! Burt and Earl, the leader of the next generation of lions?"


    Fleet Street, a good thing, really likes to make a fuss.


    Deliberately interpreted the meaning behind Aldridge''s name acquisition for his two sons.


    Burt, hero and glory, Earl, noble leader.


    The combination of the two became the headline of The Daily Star.


    "Times" is more subtle, published photos of Audridge holding a son in his left and right hands, and then turned out the old news below, and published photos of him holding the trophy in his previous hand for comparison.


    As one of the most public figures in England, people can see Aldridge¡¯s enthusiasm, courage, enthusiasm and enthusiasm when he holds the trophy, but the pictures of his two sons in his arms can be seen at a glance. He was in happiness, and his face was soft and full of warmth, as if he had suddenly transformed into a mature man from Maotou.


    On the last day in Liverpool, Aldridge stayed at home all day long, almost looking after the two babies in close proximity to Melanie. Even though they were asleep, Aldridge and Melanie still stared without blinking. they.


    When the night came, Aldridge packed his luggage and he was going back to London. Three days after the opening season of the Premier League in the new season, he had to go back.


    For more than two months, Aldridge and Melanie have spent the most peaceful and peaceful days since they met, but also the most peaceful and comfortable time for their hearts.


    But before this separation, Melanie fell into a long silence.


    She helped Aldridge organize her suit and tidy up her suitcase. After Aldridge kissed her two sons from the upper floor and went down the stairs, Melanie could not restrain her inner emotions when she put on leather shoes by the door. He rushed to his back and hugged him.


    "Aldrich, we just keep going like this, can''t we?"


    Aldrich didn¡¯t turn around and lowered his head and sighed, ¡°The past two months have been the life I am after. I¡¯m with you like a real family, but now, that kind of time won¡¯t happen again, you have yours Career, I also have mine."


    "Can''t you just accommodate me once? Just this time!"


    "But how long will this time be? How long will I wait for you?"


    "Ten years, no, five years, I don''t want to give up, really don''t want to give up!"


    "I know, so, I gave up. Sorry, forgive my selfishness, my time, and unwilling to wait for others."


    Melanie cried suddenly, her cheek pressed against Aldridge''s back, and kept asking why.


    Perhaps from her standpoint, Aldridge will be satisfied with a love that will never break up, but Aldridge does not want to go on like this.


    Aldridge gently held her hand and said softly: "My name is Aldrich Hall. I am a club coach. Five years ago, I traveled all over Europe to gather football talents. I took out more than 300% of my sincere invitation to others, and almost faced the world with a pleading and humble attitude. During the past five years, some people have left, some have come, some have betrayed, some have stood firm, I am just a mortal, but I can¡¯t Fame and fame are no more than vanity. Today, I don¡¯t need to look at other people¡¯s eyes, and I don¡¯t need to put my success on others. It¡¯s going to rain, and I¡¯m going to marry someone. Staying staying, instead of feeling sad for those who go, I would rather show more sincerity and kindness to the loyal adherents. The world does not change for me, but I just want to shake the world in a simple way. From now on, the center of my world must It¡¯s me, it¡¯s selfish and arrogant, but I just want to continue to be crazy, maybe, I just want to prove that people who leave me will regret that my world will not collapse because of who is missing, me, Aldridge ¡¤Hall, who wants to live chicly but also want to live in an overbearing way, Melanie, I will let my career continue to shine, and I and you can have happiness together, the only difference is that the one who will make sacrifices, not I''m sorry."


    Aldridge let go of her hand, took the luggage and opened the door to leave.

 Chapter 427： There are stories of people

    The next day, Aldridge deliberately started early and wanted to arrive at the training ground early to wait for the players.


    When he drove to the Leo training base, someone congratulated him whenever he met the staff, and he naturally laughed.


    When he came to the training ground in sportswear, the scene in front of him surprised him.


    Most of this group of players usually come to the training ground on foot, actually standing on the training ground one by one, looking at him with a smile on his face.


    When Aldridge approached them, the players suddenly shouted to him in unison: "Boss, congratulations on being your father!"


    Aldridge smiled at them and said, "Don''t you want to please me in this way and be lazy in training, tell you, I have endured for three months, I want to die you! Finally, let me enjoy Who is roaring!"


    "Hahahaha!"


    The players laughed out loud, and Southgate came out, holding two Millwall jerseys in one hand and a ball in the other, and sent them to Aldridge, saying, "We have discussed and we don¡¯t know what to send. What to Burt and Earl, so the team signed the two jerseys, and also wrote a short blessing, and this football, which also has our signature, is given to them, I hope they can grow up healthy and happy ."


    Aldridge was moved. Looking at the neat handwriting on the jersey, it was definitely not the signatures of these stars when they were doing business activities. Instead, they wrote their names neatly and added a blessing.


    He hugged each player one by one and thanked them for their blessings.


    On behalf of the coaching staff, Jenson also sent two "mini mad lion" puppets to Aldridge''s son.


    After the warm scene was over, Aldridge asked the staff on the sidelines to send the things back to his office. Then, he turned to face the players and toured their mental appearance.


    Well, very good, every player seems to contain a hot flame of victory.


    They can''t wait for the start of the new season, and they will fight hard.


    "Some people say that we are a dynasty-level team, because in the past four years, we have won 13 big and small championship trophies, but I do not agree with this view, yes, in the past four years, we have won two league titles But, if a team that develops a dynasty level, if it can''t even defend the league champion, can it still be a king? Can it be a ruler? We have the will of the strong, the strength of the strong, the strength of the strong Awareness, but we still lack the absolute dominance of the strong! This season, I will give you a very difficult goal, but I believe that you can withstand the pressure, and turn the pressure into motivation, work together to achieve my goal The next goal, starting today, we will work towards May next year and tell ourselves that on May 14 next year, we will once again win the trophy of the league championship and achieve the success of the league defending! And on May 24 next year , Tell me, where will you guys appear?"


    All players spoke in almost the same way: "Paris!"


    Paris, France Stadium, that is the venue for the Champions League final next year!


    "Very good, it is this momentum that has been maintained. I hope that when May comes next year, you will not be disappointed to watch live TV at home. Now, the training begins, and how much you return depends on how much you pay. This reason, I I don''t want to say more."


    At the command of Aldrich, the players started a new day of training. The fighting spirit is more vigorous than before. The players will have their own feelings. When they realize what the team is in, the team¡¯s Atmosphere, if the minds of teammates can all aim at the same goal, then they know that as long as they work hard, there will be a huge return in the future.


    When the day¡¯s training ended, the dusk came, and the club¡¯s new season¡¯s family portrait was delayed, because everyone was waiting for Aldridge to come back. Now, this afternoon, they photographed 1999-2000 on the green field Millwall family portrait this season.


    Aldridge was sitting in the middle, next to two assistants and first-team coaches. He deliberately put young players in the front row, showing great spirits.


    For the new season, there is no need for Audridge to mobilize again. The club is full of expectations and meets new challenges to create a real dynasty!

    ...


    On August 7, the Premier League new season league opener.


    The sunny afternoon was clear, and Aldridge hadn''t appeared in the Lion''s Den Stadium. News about him spread throughout the streets.


    Major Millwall was absent from the Premier League official pre-season interview, which caused the FA¡¯s commercial publicity to suffer a certain loss, so the FA issued a token ticket, warning a fine of 3,000 pounds.


    Aldridge is not absent for no reason, he is in a hurry.


    In the past two days, after training every day, he rushed to the airport and flew to Liverpool as soon as possible, and then rushed back to London early the next morning.


    The young handsome man of Hidaka thought about his two sons, but he could only travel to and from two cities every day. He wanted to propose to bring the children to London to raise them personally, but Melanie disagreed, and her family also disagree.


    Perhaps, Melanie felt that as long as she left her child, Aldridge would naturally appear in front of her every day, but when she returned to rest and returned to the hot girl group of four people to start working, she might not have time to watch. A glance at the child.


    When Aldridge appeared at the Lion''s Cave Stadium, the audience cheered, and the fans were very happy. They not only liked and supported the young handsome from the heart, but also proud of having him.


    As always, the stands of the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium are blue.


    But what is different today is that the name printed on the back of the jersey worn by Brady¡¯s Roaring Fan Organization today is the name of two non-players.


    Burt, Earl.


    When Aldridge walked in, the Roaring Fans organization greeted the young commander with their iconic moves. Some people turned their backs, and the large single letters behind each person formed a striking slogan.


    "Bert, Earl, son of Hall, peace and health will go along for life!"


    Aldrich stood on the side of the field looking at the striking slogan on the south stand. His eyes were almost moved, and the endless applause lingered in his ears. He felt very happy. If the time went back to five years ago, he would not Hesitating, not frowning, will definitely say to Barnett: Give me Millwall! This is what I want most!


    Adjusting his mood, Aldridge came to the coach''s seat and stood ready, ready to start the game.


    "The first round of the 1999-2000 season of the English Premier League is about to start. I am Martin Taylor. My old friend Andy Gray and I will give you a live explanation of the focus of the first round of the Premier League. The London Derby! Defending champion Millwall There is a lot of stories about the scene of the neighbour Tottenham in the north at home."


    "Hehehe, yeah, Millwall and Tottenham, Derby opponents in the same city, Hall and Graham, and the new and old generation of Millwall coaches, plus Graham once coached Arsenal to create brilliant, Speaking of which, he is really unbelievable."


    "I don''t understand, I really don''t understand. Graham left Millwall and went to Arsenal at the time. This seemed normal at the time, but the older lion fans said in the interview before the game that Graham abandoned it. They, they were very angry at the time, now, they think that Graham is no different from the innumerable mad lion coach, they are only inconspicuous roles, which have long been forgotten. The mad lion now has the history of the club and the history of the Premier League. In the future, it may even be the best coach in the history of English football. This is their pride. As for Graham¡¯s achievements in Arsenal, he was dismissed because of the scandal. At that time, the media was raving about it. Hall beat him. After the class, Hall also got the nickname of a coach killer. Oh, Arsenal fans missed Graham, but when he risked the world to enter White Hart Lane, Arsenal fans may be afraid of all Graham Nostalgia was thrown into the trash can and turned into anger. Now, Tottenham fans also have a deep grudge against Graham, thinking that he is unable to bring Tottenham to glory. If, if Tottenham cannot open a new season, Fortunately, Graham¡¯s life may be more difficult."


    "He was really unlucky. He led the team to Millwall in the first round of the league. What is left for Tottenham? The old, weak and sick team has unbelievable fighting power and only the center defender Sol. Campbell can still do it."


    "Millwall is in a strong attack today, and it seems that he will take a three-pointer at home. Let''s see if Millwall can play the expected exciting game in the new season. A new rating breakthrough."


    Aldridge stood on the side of the court, his eyes exuding awe-inspiring, he stared at the players on the court with high spirits.


    The gorgeous attack group started in the last half of the season, from the staffing to the player''s physical state, has been improved in the new season, coupled with the tacit understanding of the exercise, and the key players Pirlo and Ronaldinho Physical strengthening is close to qualitative change, and Henry is starting to get a lot of water at the center position. In the new season, he can drastically allow the attack group to carry out further transformation and burst out more powerful power.


    When the game started, Aldridge observed the situation on the court, saw Tottenham''s formation and player positions, and immediately raised a disdainful smile in the corner of his mouth.


    Swing the bus?


    See you again!


    It is not difficult to predict that Graham played 5 guards against the counter in Arsenal. He led the strong teams to play this tactic. He led the weaker team against Millwall to be the guest. Is he also expected to attack? ?


    Now Aldridge is really not afraid of encountering the team that lays the bus, especially when attacking with the main lineup.


    In 1998, the mad lion''s intensive defense that won the Champions League mainly relied on a more active and tacit running position. Today in this Millwall, Aldridge believes that hard power is a bus that can tie the weak team.


    The Millwall players played freely on the field. They were not surprised that the opponent''s formation withdrew and displayed a intensive defensive posture. This was expected by the coaching staff at the pre-match preparation meeting, and their current technical and tactical play. It can be changed constantly, adhere to the tactical style of self, and be indestructible!

 Chapter 428： The potential of super players

    Millwall''s main lineup has not changed in the new season, but the player has changed significantly.


    From the beginning today, a Millwall player has become the protagonist on the field, but it feels quite strange to the audience.


    Ronaldinho!


    Tactics required him to form a first-line defensive barrier when the opponent attacked, and launched a counter-robbing on the spot. He did it, and it did better and better than Aldridge expected.


    He was like a beast, fighting wildly and aggressively. The first yellow card after the opening was actually for him!


    Aldridge reminded him to pay attention to the action on the sidelines and refrain from eating the second yellow card. Ronaldinho nodded seriously and raised his thumb on the top of his head to continue to focus on the game.


    There are often unfair treatments for players on the green field.


    Some active players are always marked with more engineering colors, as if pure technical players are disdain for such dirty work, and it is their job to concentrate on playing with the art of their feet.


    Therefore, Nedved''s technical talents are ignored. His success rate of the ball breakthrough is even higher. It seems that it is difficult for the audience to associate him with technical talents.


    And Ronaldinho''s performance today subverted this impression.


    He thoroughly demonstrated the two extremes.


    Crazy anti-robbing when turning from attack to defense, more diligent than the engineers, and actively shifting position when turning from defense to defense, showing his talents from the first second after touching the ball.


    It''s a trivial thing to stop and pass. The pass with closed eyes and back is amazing. The continuous change to a small range of breakthroughs is even more unsolvable.


    What''s wrong with him?


    Fans of the crazy lion seemed to ask questions in their hearts, it was not like Ronaldinho they had seen before.


    That mistake or bitter ball will show a bitter smile. The Brazilian guy who apologizes to his teammates or regrets for himself. Even today, even if he failed, he will never hesitate for a second and immediately launch a counter-robbery. It seems that he is running and breathing all the time. Don''t give yourself space.


    Aldrich believes that Ronaldinho may still be entangled by the demons. Of course, it seems that making him so full of hardships may be more beneficial to his career development.


    Tottenham''s defense with equal numbers is certainly not enough, so they put nine players in the defense, and the three layers and the third layer cast a solid fortress.


    Millwall had no pressure in the backcourt, and the striker pressed the front to make room for the back, and Zambrotta and Schneider pressed up to take measures in the periphery or fire long-range shots.


    Although Millwall didn''t score 25 minutes before the match, he had an absolute advantage in the scene, bombing Tottenham''s goal repeatedly, destroying the nerves of the opponent''s defensive player.


    Millwall''s frontcourt attack team can pass and pass. Players are also pursuing simplicity and speed when dealing with the ball. To break through, they will firmly pass the opponent directly after touching the ball. To pass the ball, then the ball is kicked out and the rhythm runs. It''s fast and smooth. Even though Tottenham defenders are many, but the markings are still dizzy, the danger is in front of the door. If it is not against the human wall, it may have lost the ball.


    "Larson was tipped on the right in front of the penalty area. The referee made a foul. This was a free kick. Schneider came up. He chose to open the free kick fast and gave the ball to Nedved. Tottenham just seemed to be preparing for a wall, and there was a lot of empty space in the back line. Nedved started the ball with a high speed and entered the penalty area. He crossed the bottom line! Henry grabbed a spot in front of the goal and the ball entered! Millwall was playing The goal was scored in the 29th minute, the goal was Henry!"


    Henry''s goal ignited the fire of passion in the stands, and Aldridge also jumped up and fisted to celebrate, showing a wild expression.


    Graham''s expression is grim. Tottenham is more of a defensive counterattack than Tottenham is completely passively beaten!


    As Millwall''s players celebrated the end of the walk, Aldridge glanced at Graham, not far away.


    You guys lost the ball first, why?


    Don''t try one?


    Don''t gamble?


    After losing this game, can you still go back to White Hart Lane?


    Graham didn''t move on the sidelines. He didn''t make any active adjustments, but the Tottenham players started to change on the field.


    They don''t want to lose, or who can bear it if they can''t just fight back? Simply summon the courage to take a punch!


    After Tottenham reopened the formation, the formation began to go up and added a touch point on the front line. However, they could not control the midfield. After the midfield fell into the downwind, the third line was completely disconnected and was forced by Millwall''s high pressure. Cut the formation into pieces.


    After making a successful steal, Makelele handed the ball to Pirlo. The latter found Henry with an accurate long pass. Henry went to the meeting with a single shot but shot slightly higher than the beam, causing a sigh in the stands, and then gave applause. , Henry shot a single-handed ball and turned back to give Pirlo a thumbs up.


    After 4 minutes, Tottenham hit the high ball to find the striker fulcrum, Materazzi headered the ball, Nedvide retreated and faced the ball with a bow to the side Zambrotta, who took the ball forward at high speed After a half-time trip, someone came to **** the ball, and then gave the ball to Ronaldinho.


    After taking the ball, Ronaldinho first got rid of the opponent''s defender laterally, then took the ball inwards, facing the Tottenham back line of the defense of the sea **** Needle Campbell, Ronaldinho''s speed did not decrease, but turned his head two meters in front of the opponent Looking back at the retreating Henry, Campbell was confused by Ronaldinho''s movement, and the movement was a little hesitant. Ronaldinho did not hesitate to kill the ball from the other side. When Campbell turned around, Ronaldinho cut inward and left his back. Give the opponent, facing the attacking goalkeeper, Ronaldinho suddenly stopped, and then gently moved the ball to the right, Larson faced the ball and hit the empty goal.


    "My God! Martin, did you blink just now? Did you blink? Ronaldinho ravaged the Tottenham defense! An incredible performance! Unbelievable!"


    "I believe that at this moment, in addition to the Tottenham fans, the audience watching this game are all convinced by Ronaldinho''s performance. In this game, he touched the ball is the highlight! Get rid of the wing, run at high speed, Campbell watch Seems to be easily broken, but looking back at the slow motion we can find that Ronaldinho''s movement of turning his head to look at Henry before breaking through him is strongly confusing, and Campbell''s center of gravity is deceived by the other person''s eyes! In fact, Ronaldinho can finish the shot by himself. Although the goalkeeper has attacked, I believe he is fully capable of shooting the ball, but he has selflessly assisted Larson. Now let¡¯s not doubt Real Madrid summer It¡¯s crazy to buy Ronaldinho for 30 million pounds! He is much more than this price!"


    "Ronaldinho has potential and is becoming a superstar! Martin, if he can continue this performance, he is definitely one of the superstars in football!"


    "Andy, how do you define this superstar?"


    "We often see a phenomenon in football that a good player has an explosive performance in a season, and was suddenly praised as a star, but then the player''s performance will not reach people. The expectation is actually not that this player¡¯s ability is reduced or his status is reduced, but that when he has a reputation, then his opponent will study him and restrict his play in the game. The average star is in a season The overall performance of China is not bad, but what about superstars? I think even when the opponent focuses on studying him, restricting him, marking him, but still can''t stop him from playing, then he is a superstar, Ronaldinho The season has become famous, and Tottenham''s marking is very strict today, but we often see that in the game, he can still show his talent in the face of the defense of the team!"


    "Maybe Tottenham''s defense is too bad?"


    "Maybe it is, so I said that he has the potential to become a superstar. Now he can''t make a conclusion. He can improve further, but at his current age, we can''t find a better player than him."


    Larsen¡¯s outsourcing was driven by the forward consciousness, but he really didn¡¯t expect Ronaldinho to pass the ball out, the steps were a little messy, and finally he leaned his body to keep the shooting action as far as possible to stabilize the ball. Pushed into the empty goal, and fell after shooting.


    Ronaldinho walked to support him, Larson smiled and asked, "Why didn''t you shoot?"


    The goalkeeper was attacked, but Ronaldinho was so big that Ronaldinho paused. As long as he calmly pushed, the goalkeeper would definitely be unable to return to the sky.


    Ronaldinho scratched his head, glanced at Henry, and said, "He just shot a single-handed knife. I was afraid that he would fly as well. The insurance will pass."


    Henry smiled bitterly, "Is it related to me again?"


    Ronaldinho finally showed a smile, the familiar smile that the fans were familiar with.


    Aldridge was also caught in a "happy tangle" on the sidelines. He turned his head and asked his colleagues in the coaching staff: "Why did he pass?"


    It''s not that he can''t pass, but in fact, the pursuit of shooting efficiency is a very strict part of Millwall''s training. Let the players don''t think too much. Take the opportunity in front of the door and be neat, you should shoot!


    In the most dangerous shooting area, the consciousness of scoring must absolutely suppress the consciousness of cooperation, otherwise excessive pursuit of cooperation may not be a good thing to develop.


    Klinsmann and Jenson shook their heads with a smile. How could this question be answered?


    Between electro-optical flint, the player''s choice may be subconscious, for no reason.


    Klinsmann turned to Jenson and whispered: "He has never played football. If he has a career of more than ten years, he rarely thinks too much about touching the ball. Sometimes, many actions are similar to conditioned reflex."


    Jenson shook his head and said, "I haven''t played before and I was eliminated by Ajax before turning to coach."


    Klinsmann''s expression became awkward, and Jenson laughed.


    Graham''s face was no different from emoji.


    Tottenham, Tottenham is not Millwall''s opponent at all. When the strength of the players reaches a certain level, even if the skills and tactics are restrained, the situation cannot be reversed.


    Tottenham are old, small, and relying on veterans to spend their lives, and buy some broken copper and rotten iron to supplement the lineup every year. After accumulating, it has become such a mess. There are young people in the team, but it''s a pity that they can''t pick up Liang. Say push down and rebuild? But all the money spent in the past was lost, and the economic situation of the Tottenham club was not good. Who let the current chairman be pitted by the black gold coach Venables...


    Millwall''s fast-paced pass-and-match and high-pressure **** tactics only lasted 60 minutes. In the 15th minute of the second half, the score was already 3:0. Zambrota built another long-range attack and Millwall began to slow down. Beat the rhythm patiently.


    Aldridge made consecutive substitutions to rest some of the main players, but Ramor, who debuted, gave him a surprise and made him play Nedved. Although the defense has dropped by a grade, he played in 70 minutes and after 5 minutes. Larson played an exquisite two-on-one match. After passing the ball, he went straight into the penalty area. Larsen knocked back to him again. Larmor volleyed the goal from a small angle to expand the score.


    The offensive coordination seemed simple, but Aldridge saw the advantage of Ramall cutting through the opponent''s weakest link in the running position.


    In the end, Millwall''s 4-0 victory over Tottenham did not make a good start for the road to defending the new season.

 Chapter 429： I love Anfield

    Millwall defeated Tottenham 4-0 in the first game of the new season, and this result was not unexpected.


    After the game, Aldridge only lightly stated that there was nothing fuss about winning the game. Although happy, the team''s mentality will not fluctuate due to victory over Tottenham.


    The unspoken message passed to the outside world is: Tottenham''s strength is not good, and Millwall cannot be complacent because of the victory over Tottenham.


    In the new season, Manchester United tied with Millwall to win the championship, but they were tied by Everton in Goodison Park. It seems that they have not recovered from the poor performance of the Charity Shield.


    Next year is the competition year, the Premier League opening was already early, and the schedule is compressed densely, and Audridge can¡¯t wait to face his opponent three days later.


    Because the opponent they face in the next battle is the traditional and powerful Liverpool.


    After defeating Tottenham, the team took a day off and came back to training the next day. Aldridge''s work enthusiasm was high, and he smiled when he attended the press conference before going out.


    The reporters on the scene could probably guess Aldridge''s thoughts.


    "Aldrich, you seem to want to play against Liverpool, why?"


    Aldrich sat on the stage with his mouth upturned and said casually: "Because Liverpool is a young team, coach Holier is also my friend. I will look forward to playing with friends on the sidelines. This is the fun of this job. One, and I also want to see the performance of the three players Irving, Gerrard and Carragher."


    "Why? Is Millwall interested in them?"


    The unknown reporter asked seriously, Richard, who was sitting next to him, smirked. He followed Millwall for many years, and had already seen Aldridge''s misalignment at a glance.


    Aldridge put his smile away and said seriously: "Yes, Millwall was very interested in them, but it was only four years ago, when I personally invited them to join Millwall, they were rejected by Liverpool media. It has been reported that Liverpool later gave Gerrard their professional contract. From that day, although Millwall did not intend to introduce them in the transfer market, I still kept my attention on them and wanted to see their professional development. "


    The reporter who questioned frequently nodded and recorded every sentence of Aldridge in his notebook. For him, it may be considered a big news. The transfer market door has not been closed. The manager of Millwall publicly declared that he is concerned about the three young players of Liverpool. Performance, who dares to guarantee that there will be no heavyweight transfers in the next 20 days?


    Even if there is a heavy transfer, it can only happen to Owen, as for Gerald and Carragher, even the stars are not counted.


    Some of the reporters at the scene bowed their heads and laughed. They felt that the questioning reporter was being tricked. Richard simply smiled and asked: "Aldridge, if, tomorrow''s game is Liverpool''s guest Millwall, you will still be today. Are you excited?"


    Aldridge smiled silently, and nodded for a long while: "Of course, Liverpool, England''s traditional giant Liverpool, of course I will be excited!"


    "Who believes? Have you been excited before Liverpool came as a guest in the past two years? Obviously because you can go to Liverpool to see the children, why don''t you say it honestly?"


    "No, no, Richard, are you questioning my professionalism and work attitude? It¡¯s impossible for fake public welfare to happen to me. I tell you that I love Anfield and from my first step into Anfield as coach At that time, I fell in love with that glorious and historic stadium. No coach will refuse to play there. Although it will make people feel dangerous, this is what the head coach enjoys!"


    Not only Richard, but many reporters present booed at him with a smile!


    Aldridge spread his hands helplessly, and finally gritted his teeth with a smile: "Believe it or not, whatever you want, tomorrow''s game will make you realize that I am fully committed to the game!"


    When Aldridge got up and left, Richard shouted loudly: "You are too hypocritical. You want to spend more time with your son. Does this have anything to do with whether you value the game?"


    Aldridge hastened his pace and left the field quickly.


    The next day, the team left Liverpool, the team got off the plane and took the bus to Anfield.


    On the road, some players are listening to music, some are reading books, some are chatting, or some are simply looking at the city street scene outside the car window.


    Aldridge had no special feelings for Liverpool before, but now his mentality becomes slightly more subtle when he comes to this city. This is where his son was born.


    The thought of today''s newspaper hype that he led the team as a guest to Liverpool actually held the mood to visit his son... Uh, Aldridge was stunned for a second. This idea always felt a little weird.


    Shaking his head, he worried that the players would also be distracted.


    Before arriving in Anfield, Aldridge stood up and clapped his hands, so that the players on the expedition looked at him, listened to the music, took off the headphones closed the book, closed their mouths in chat, they were curious He looked at Aldridge without knowing what the boss said.


    "Liverpool, I don¡¯t want to emphasize how powerful they are. In fact, these years, or since we were on the top league stage, the Liverpool face is not as good as one year. Powerful players also affect the dressing due to life style issues. The team started to cleanse or break into the cold palace. Maybe you have no longer treated Liverpool as a strong enemy. You may even feel that they are not much different from Tottenham, but I want to say that in the past few years, Liverpool''s away record is a fatal factor restricting them to challenge the champion, but their home record is very stable. In some seasons, they will only lose two games at home, and in some seasons, they will lose at most four games. In other words, on average, each season It is to lose three games. The 19 Premier League teams are visiting Anfield, only 3 or 4 teams can take the victory from there, we are not here for sightseeing, if you are interested, you can stay here after the game City for a while, but for the game, we definitely want to take the three separation, so even if you think Liverpool are not strong, I allow you to despise Liverpool players, but I hope you pay attention to the Anfield stadium and can take it in Anfield. Taking victory, I don¡¯t think it can be used as a proud capital, but at least it will make our sense of accomplishment and satisfaction more fulfilling!"


    The players nodded at each other after listening to Aldridge.


    They came to Liverpool, the mood is very calm.


    They were so calm that they all felt weird.


    Liverpool, once famous in Europe, created Liverpool to rule the European dynasty!


    Why play Liverpool, but now they have an unhappy response in their hearts?


    Perhaps, as Aldridge said, they have played Liverpool every year in the past few years. They have suppressed their opponents in the league. The encounter in the cup has only been eliminated once, and they have been eliminated by replacing young players.


    After really fighting and defeating the opponent several times, my heart naturally lightened that sense of importance.


    But the game still has to be played. Peace of mind is a good thing, but if the fighting spirit drops, it is a bad thing.


    Aldrich now mobilizes their fighting morale to divert their attention.


    If you just stare at Liverpool''s team of players and put your opponents in a Tottenham jersey, you really don''t think there is much difference.


    Therefore, Aldridge needs players to have as strong a desire as possible due to Liverpool''s history, and to stimulate the players with Liverpool''s past glory.


    Anfield, still the terrifying atmosphere of the home field in the Premier League, the Red Army fans sing loudly and never stop singing It¡¯s not because he is a dead enemy with Millwall. He just enjoys it. It¡¯s a rare team that can make the team stronger because of the fans. Liverpool happens to be one of them. Kile is in it.


    Before the game started, Aldridge whispered to Gilad Hollier on the sidelines. It wasn''t Aldridge to greet the host, but the host voluntarily ran to communicate with him.


    The content of the conversation between the two was focused on "Whether Millwall is going to dig Irving!"


    After receiving Aldrich''s verbal promise that he had no interest in Owen, Hollier was relieved.


    As for Gerrard and Carragher, to be honest, they didn''t make a name at all.


    But since it was the player Aldridge personally invited to visit a few years ago, the Liverpool club naturally paid special attention to it.


    But they also don''t know what kind of excellent players Carragher and Gerrard will become in the future, and in what direction? I''m not sure.


    Aldrich has always believed that Gerald can only become a "Legend of Liverpool", the biggest reason is that at the beginning of his career, he never had a clear positioning on the field.


    Aldridge likes role players, has a clear specialty, and can use it to divide the work reasonably and clearly, so that the team¡¯s 11-person puzzle can effectively complement each other. For example, Makelele is a defense, Pirlo is an organization, and Nedved is an offensive. The midfield system is not to be confused.


    For players like Gerrard, the positioning is vague.


    Can he defend him? Row.


    Can you organize him? Row.


    Is it OK to attack him? Row.


    He can do all three things, but he is not top of all three!


    Let him play defense, he will be ravaged by the top offensive players, let him go to the organization, it is difficult to penetrate the top defense in the offensive scheduling, let him go to attack, the ability to seize the opportunity seems to be unsatisfactory, especially with the ball to break through this Xiang Ling, who is also an offensive player in the midfielder or No. 9 and a half, is definitely more powerful than him.


    The future development trend of UEFA is that even the top team, the team allows at most one player can only attack and not participate in defense, other players except the goalkeeper, 9 players must shoulder the defensive task.


    In other words, a player like Gerrard has defensive ability as the basis, then next, he needs to strengthen his technical characteristics in the offense.


    In the future, the most comprehensive evaluation of Gerrard is the comprehensiveness. However, this comprehensiveness just means that his comprehensive strength is very strong, but it does not seem to be able to compete with those top players with special skills.


    Especially in the mediocre England national team, overview of Gerald''s national team career, it is almost difficult to find a game he played particularly well, and those players with special characteristics, even in the weaker national team, also Can shine.


    It is a pity that in the early stages of his career in Liverpool, Gerald did not meet the key and properly trained his famous teacher in the most critical period of improving technical ability and fixed position on the field. Waist, sometimes hitting the midfield, sometimes hitting the midfielder, he sometimes assists, sometimes scores, the whole game runs fast and never dies, but what is his role? It changes every year.


    Carragher is even more tragic. He is still a substitute in the new season, but Hollier defines Carragher as a substitute for the full-back. Therefore, for a short period of time in the future, Carragher is a flaw that has been exploded at Anfield. .

 Chapter 430： Absolute suppression

    In order to become the head coach, Aldridge has prepared for eight years. He has been officially employed for more than five years. He has been immersed in the field of football for 13 years. He already has his own concept of training players.


    Like Lampard, he is similar to Gerrard, but in training, Aldridge has set him in the midfield, playing Pirlo''s bench. Perhaps the organizational talent is certainly not as good as Pirlo on Lampard, but he can To strengthen the defensive hardness of the midfield, the offense only requires him to shoot long shots like Pirlo, the B2B activity area has not changed, but the task on the field is fixed.


    Another example is Pedretti. That is to practice directly on Makelele''s path, so that 80% of his energy is devoted to defense, and the remaining 20% ??is involved in offensive response. Other things, don''t worry!


    It is definitely more valuable to practice these two items and make them more colorful than to be comprehensive.


    Players who can advance, retreat and defend can sound strong, but as the game gets more intense, the gap between top teams is very small. You want to attack when you want to attack. The defense is as steady as Taishan. It seems that you are dominating the stadium. !


    As for Irving, Aldridge no longer has expectations after being disappointed four years ago. Irving¡¯s development trajectory is the same as in history. Pure shooter plus frequent games at the beginning of his career, almost full attendance for two consecutive seasons, without reasonable rest It¡¯s no wonder that in the future he is covered with injuries and can¡¯t be completely cured. The typical overwork is sick. This kind of star needs to be bought as soon as possible, and then buy it when it becomes famous. And, he has to change his style of play. Anyway, it is impossible for the team to rebuild the technical and tactical system for a player.


    "The second round of the Premier League in the new season is about to start. Liverpool, who defeated Xie on a 2-1 away game in the first round, ushered in the first official home game of the new season. They will face last season¡¯s league champion Millwall, Millwall In the new season, he quickly entered the game. In the first round of the league, he easily defeated Tottenham in the same city at home. Hall declared before the game that he was looking forward to this game. He wanted to compete with young Liverpool. The words are true and false, but Liverpool have indeed used a lot of young people in the new season."


    "The guest Millwall continued the first round of the league and Liverpool''s starting lineup was 442.


    Goalkeeper: Sander Westwerde.


    Hollier started to clean Liverpool''s spicy brothers in the summer, and goalkeeper David James was sent away, replaced by Westwed imported from the Netherlands.


    Defenders: Rigobert Song, Stephen Henkitz, Sami Hepia, Dominique Mateo.


    Hepia was unexpectedly awarded the captain armband by Hollier in the new season, hoping that he could shoulder the important role of the team and lead Liverpool on the road to recovery.


    Midfielders: Dietmar Harman, Stephen Gerrard, David Simpson, Danny Murphy.


    Forwards: Titi Camara, Michael Owen.


    There are some new recruits in the Liverpool formation in summer, and there are also rookies trained by their own youth training. Such a team looks young regardless of age or team maturity. I don¡¯t know whether it can withstand the offensive firepower Millwall today. . "


    Aldridge looked at the batch of young rookies in Liverpool''s lineup, especially the midfielders. Except Dietmar Harman was 26 years old, the other three players were all around 20 years old.


    Harman plays a defensive midfielder. The other three players may be in a small diamond midfield, perhaps lined up. Who knows, watch it during the game.


    Players like Simpson have also belonged to the 96 Liverpool youth academy in the past few years. In the future, they will soon prove that they cannot stand on the top court, and their careers are more tortuous. Having entered the England national team has become an inspirational story, but that''s all.


    Danny Murphy, besides being able to associate him with being talked about as a Manchester United killer, this Aldridge can''t think of any earth-shattering actions he can make on the court.


    After the game started, Liverpool took the lead and kicked in the backcourt, entering the rhythm of the game, and then passed the first foot forward and made a mistake.


    Simpson''s direct pass to Kamala was easily intercepted by Makelele.


    Millwall counterattacked on the spot, and Makelele handed the ball to Pirlo. Gerard had already posted it behind him. Pirlo knocked the ball to Schneider on the side, and the latter passed forward. Giving back to Larsson who received the ball, Larsson did not turn and knocked Nedved.


    As a result, Millwall''s offense became a positive push, running extremely smoothly.


    Nedvide broke through Harman''s defense and then went to the penalty area before the penalty area. Henry slanted into the penalty area and kicked the door. The ball rubbed the post and flew to the stands.


    In the past, when facing Liverpool in Evans, the opponent will withdraw a forward and add a midfielder to defend, but today Liverpool has 4 players in the midfield. Instead of reducing the double forward configuration of the striker, instead of compressing the midfield defense, Weakened the wing defense.


    Millwall hit the middle after the opening, and Liverpool''s four midfielders continued to retreat. They just madly grabbed in front of the defender line. Sometimes they failed. Millwall found a shooting opportunity. Sometimes they succeeded. The striker opened the distance too long, and the defender could not find the spot from the attack, quickly lost the ball, and then continued to enter the defensive rhythm.


    Liverpool fell into a passive position after the opening.


    Hollier''s expression is solemn, Aldridge doesn''t know what he is thinking, maybe he hopes that Liverpool''s young players and new players can grow up quickly under pressure.


    Aldridge raised his wrist and looked at his watch. The first fifteen minutes of the game passed away quietly.


    He made a gesture on the sidelines to remind the players on the court.


    Before the game, the tactics have not changed, he just let the players notice the time.


    Reminded by the coach, the players have a unified mind.


    Nedved''s retreat to the midfield to catch the ball attracted the attention of Gerald and Murphy. His return to such a running position will make those players who follow him subconsciously follow up. Then, Nedved After a two-on-one match with Pirlo, the ball returned to Pirlo''s feet. The latter passed the ball to the right side of Larsen''s foot with a direct pass. Larsen took the ball laterally to get rid of Matteo''s defense and then the ball Hand Henry out of the penalty area to catch the ball.


    Larson ran forward, seemingly going straight into the ribs. Hepia saw Matteo failed to keep up with Larson, so he moved slightly to the left and blocked Larsen''s course.


    Everyone''s attention was attracted by Millwall''s right attack, but Henry passed the ball to the left.


    Ronaldinho received the ball while cutting in from the wing, directly throwing Song behind him. After entering the penalty area, he faked and fooled Henkels. He pulled the ball horizontally and pulled out of the neutral position.


    This ball shot is so powerful, Aldrich thinks it must be on the sidelines!


    But the goalkeeper Westwerd bravely blocked the ball with his body!


    The ball popped out of the penalty area, and before Harman was about to clear it, someone took the ball forward before him, Nedved!


    He was followed by a sparse and ordinary volley. The Liverpool goalkeeper fell to the ground after saving and did not get up. It was too late to get up in a hurry. The ball went straight into the center of the goal!


    "Ronaldinho''s shot was saved and Nedved followed up to make up the shot! Millwall made an ideal start as Anfield!"


    After scoring, Nedved made a "don''t come" gesture to his teammates. He was afraid that he would be caught by his teammates or fell to the ground. He trot all the way to the visiting team''s coaching seat and pointed at Audric , Came to the sidelines and smiled at Aldridge: "Boy, this goal was given to your two baby sons. Unfortunately, I failed to score in the last game. Today''s goal came a little late, but , Or bless the two little guys!"


    Aldrich hugged him tightly and said in reproach: "Then you should stop me from replacing you in the last game."


    "No, I know the boss needs us to maintain our physical fitness for the entire season."


    "Good thing, come on, you are already a legend of Millwall, but you can become a legend of world football!"


    "Well, I will work hard and keep working until the day I can''t kick!"


    Other players also rushed to join in the celebration, which symbolized the unity of this team. This is what Odrich thinks is more important than anything.


    Watching the players walk back on the field, Aldridge''s gaze changed and was satisfied with the players'' performance.


    Liverpool compressed the midfield defense, Millwall stormed the midfield to attract defensive attention, and then through a rapid large-scale transfer, from right to left, Larsen moved to attract attention, Henry suddenly shifted, Ronaldinho suddenly killed, in When Liverpool''s defense was stretched laterally in an instant, Ronaldinho''s personal play played an immediate role.


    The ball, although Nedved scored, but Ronaldinho flicked away Song, and there was room for activity to sway Hengzi, this is the key to the goal. If he shoots more tricks, the ball is still round. It wasn''t until Nedved made up.


    In fact, the top players in the Liverpool array who can handle it are almost invisible. Hepia has not really stepped into the ranks of top guards. Irving should be counted as one. However, when the midfield is suppressed, he is pure. The shooter is completely invisible.


    Song and Henkez are the side of Millwall''s focus, but Millwall does not hit this side as soon as he comes up. Instead, he attacks the middle first, then starts from the right, and finally strikes a fatal blow on the left.


    Aldridge didn''t pay much attention to Rigbet Song, and it was no different from most ordinary players in the Premier League. One-on-one, certainly not Ronaldinho''s opponent.


    But if he knows that Song has a nephew, and of course his surname is Song, but his name is Alexander Song, he is estimated to have a good chat with this Mr. Song.


    After the goal, Millwall still suppresses Liverpool. The opponent wants to force, but he can¡¯t control the midfield. Aldridge never gives players privileges on the court. Everyone must participate in defense. Henry, who plays center, is no exception. Therefore, even if the offensive is frustrated and the ball is lost, the frontcourt players'' active anti-robbing on the spot makes Liverpool unable to organize an effective attack.


    To defeat Liverpool today, Aldridge believes that the most critical link is the suppression of a player in Liverpool''s midfield: Harman.


    This person is in the midfield and defensive steal is a strong point. Once he is stuck, the consequences are unimaginable, and his pivotal role in turning from defense to defense is very obvious. Handling the ball is not gorgeous, but the next option to control the ball is very good. reasonable.


    So Millwall should avoid Harman during the offense. Henry should harass Harman when defending. At the same time, other players blocked his shooting line when marking the defense. This is what Millwall does today. It is also sustainable. Reasons to suppress Liverpool.


    In addition to singing, the Red Army fans in the stands could only sing.


    Playing against ordinary opponents, they will feel that Gerald, Murphy, Simpson and other players can be expected to have high expectations, but today, they only saw Gerald rushing, the ball is not stable Murphy, passing forward continuously Simpson made three turnovers, but Haman had the highest pass success rate, but could not support the midfield.


    The most troubling thing for the Red Army fans is that today the opponent is Millwall who they do not want to face, especially the man standing on the sidelines: Aldrich Hall!

 Chapter 431： Attack group upgrade

    Three years ago, the final staged at the Wembley FA Cup became an everlasting pain in Liverpool fans¡¯ hearts. Millwall not only blood-washed Liverpool on record, but pinned Liverpool to the FA Cup¡¯s oldest cup of shame. In the first place, he was utterly humiliated by Aldridge''s rant after the game.


    When Millwall blood washed Liverpool, people were discussing team discipline. Liverpool''s spicy brother became a classic. Hollier started to clean up the spicy brother. The fans looked at Liverpool, which has not been in the past few years, and they all defaulted. Football After all, it is football, fashion and trendy. No matter how much it shows off the court, it can''t make the record on the court more dazzling, even negative.


    And when Millwall bloodied Manchester United at Old Trafford and left Ferguson with a series of humiliating records, people were discussing the secret of Millwall training and what made their physical fitness advantage so obvious in the game. ? And then defeat Manchester United?


    Now, Millwall has no need to make news through the victory of the focus battle. They are the focus. From club management to team training, even the youth team reserve team, are closely watched by the outside world.


    In addition to relying on the champion to establish his own name, Aldridge''s training of the team has also been emulated by many people in the European football and even the world football.


    The rise of the modern winger, the abandonment of the organization''s front waist, and the postponement of the organization''s use, including the current high-pressure snatch.


    Millwall has always maintained the source of creativity and has become a leader in modern football.


    In today''s game, Aldridge knew that Liverpool fans did not welcome him. In addition to leaving a scar on them, he also succeeded in leading the team. It just reflected how correct he was to criticize the spicy brother a few years ago.


    Today, he still needs Liverpool to practice his hands and practice tactics.


    At the beginning, Millwall was still developing his offensive in the same way as people can guess.


    There is a certain imagination in this kind of offensive routine itself, which requires the opponent to either have rich experience and strong strength to counter or suppress, such as Bayern Munich or Juventus, or the opponent needs to be compressed by more defensive numbers Space reduces Millwall''s offensive coordination success rate, which is the usual intensive defense of the bus.


    Millwall''s offensive rhythm is fast, using continuous rapid transfer and transfer of the ball to tear open the air, while the opposing player can unexpectedly choose personal play to disrupt the opponent''s defensive rhythm.


    This kind of routine is not enough, and there is room for development. Aldridge pays attention to building the team step by step, and there is no possibility of one step to build the team''s technical and tactical system.


    History has shown countless times that leading 11 geniuses to success will not be easier than leading 11 stupid people, and most giants are spending huge sums to buy a batch of talented players and hope that the team will immediately be gorgeous and powerful in their play style. Shooting, the result is ultimately a bleak ending.


    From the formation to the formation of Millwall''s attack group, it has been kneaded together in the shortest time. Now, Audridge wants to add more abundant offensive elements on this basis.


    When they have the consciousness and ability to do a good job of anti-robbing after losing the ball, Aldridge can let them go to the offensive transposition without worrying about being counterattacked after the transposition, but the player is because of their position." "Unfamiliar area" and neglected the defense.


    Although Harman has good stealing ability and lateral interception is also a specialty, but his speed is a bit slow. At this point, Millwall pays attention to the fast ball when attacking, allowing the ball to move faster than he covers the area. Active speed, so that he can penetrate his defensive line.


    After Liverpool conceded the ball, the three midfielders retreated deeper, almost forming an eight-man defensive line, four backs and four backs!


    The positions are not parallel in two rows. After Harman drags, Gerrard and Murphy protect the sides. Simpson sees who bites who is like a mad dog!


    Aldridge made a gesture in the 30th minute of the first half to allow the offensive player to start trying to change positions.


    When the number of Liverpool players defensively increases significantly, the effect of positioning and positioning advancement will be greatly reduced. The opponent uses a sea of ??tactics to defend, and Millwall must change the routine.


    This change requires the right opponent and the right environment. Liverpool today is a good opponent. The opponent is young, especially the midfielder. The top league experience is very pitiful. It is the easiest to catch up with the ball and lose the defensive position. When encountering an experienced team, Aldridge can''t do this, as it will increase the risk of being counterattacked and losing the ball.


    Pirlo came to the frontcourt to meet Nedvide''s return pass. Simpson rushed up on the head at any cost. Pirlo calmly drew the ball through the opponent. Simpson couldn''t stop the car. When he turned back, Pirlo took the ball forward He has been thrown away by two meters.


    After Nedved passed the ball, he started to run, and Harman followed him closely, but after running two steps, Harman began to hesitate.


    Where does Nedved go?


    He ran to the left. At the same time, Ronaldinho ran across Nedved from the left. He came to the middle of the front road in the penalty area. When Harman reacted and returned, Ronaldinho had received a pass from Pirlo. The ball, Liverpool players in front and left and right, Harman, Murphy, Hepia.


    Even Gerald pushed from the rear. In the circle of four, the space became narrower and narrower. Ronaldinho turned to protect the ball and passed the ball back from Gerald to the unmarked forward. Pirlo.


    Just before Ronaldinho''s pass, Henry ran to the right, Larson crossed with him, Henry came to the area of ??the right wing, the position of the top right corner of the penalty area, Pirlo passed the ball to Henry, Henry kept a ball Straight, and Larsen, who entered the role of center, directly formed a semi-single pole with a diagonal insertion position!


    The Liverpool line was turned upside down. Henry and Larson¡¯s cross running position had completely dislocated Matteo. Hepia came to block Larson¡¯s shooting angle, but the other side crossed the middle and Henkelz reacted slowly. In one step, Ronaldinho grabbed a kick in the middle of the goal. He aimed at the bottom left corner of the goal and scored with confidence.


    But with a bang, the ball hit the goalpost and bounced out.


    Henkitz turned his head and looked in the direction where the ball popped out. When he saw the person following him, he immediately flew to block the gun!


    Nedvide again hit the ball again, this time vigorously volleyed the near corner of the goal, the ball entered the corner of the near goal post from bottom to top.


    "Nedved scored another goal! scored twice! It''s weird. This time Ronaldinho''s shot failed to score. Nedved made a supplementary shot to score the goal. Ronaldi Neo, I''m really lucky today! But this goal was very beautiful from the start to the end. Millwall only penetrated the defensive line of Liverpool''s 8 players with only 5 offensive players! Simpson looks very hard and can watch defensively No effect, Gerard and Murphy are unconvincing in addition to being rash and frivolous. The worst is Song. Both of the goals conceded are related to his defense. For the first time, Ronaldinho Austria easily broke through and failed to keep up with Nedved for the second time to prevent the opponent from making another shot. The reconstruction of Liverpool seems to have a long way to go."


    Nedved raised **** towards Aldridge after scoring a goal, which seemed like a gesture of victory, but Aldridge understood that Nedved should mean: two goals, just for Your two sons.


    Then he greeted Ronaldinho and asked, "Without shooting boots?"


    Ronaldinho felt his head helplessly said: "I don''t know, I feel a little worse."


    Larson said with a smile: "Generally, if I don''t feel good at shooting, I will not pursue the angle. No matter where the goalkeeper is, it will shoot the ball firmly within the goal range. But you just got kicked by the goalkeeper. Splashed out, the angle of the second foot was too tricky to hit the goal post, I really don''t know how to suggest you adjust the shooting feeling."


    Ronaldinho joked: "Then I close my eyes and pull my foot down. I can''t get in, looking at God."


    Henry patted his shoulder and said, "It doesn''t matter if you don''t enter. Anyway, someone makes up the shot."


    The four went back and celebrated with Pirlo one by one.


    Aldridge rated this goal very highly, as can be seen from his excited expression of a fist swinging up and down in front of him with one hand.


    Ronaldinho and Nedved''s transposition, Larson''s and Henry''s transposition, it seems very simple, the cross-running position itself is not complicated, but this will disrupt the opponent''s defense line, so that the opponent''s mark defense is short There is a loophole in the ground, but when this short-term loophole appears, it needs someone to pass the ball to the most dangerous area. This is the key.


    Ronaldinho faced the ball defense and turned the ball back into Pirlo. Pirlo quickly transferred to Henry. These two **** are the key to this attack!


    If there are only cross-transposition running positions, and there is no timely and accurate transfer pass to penetrate the defense zone and send the ball to the opponent''s weak defense zone, then no amount of cross-positioning is just in vain.


    Then Millwall''s attack entered the rhythm of the attack group''s crazy transposition, but not every attack can be achieved, and the turnover rate is constantly increasing.


    Aldrich didn''t care at this time. The team led by two goals and could bear the risk of increased offensive turnovers.


    Henkels, Hypia, Harman, this 3H defensive iron triangle is the mainstay of Liverpool''s defense for some time to come, but this season has just begun to form, and the tacit agreement is not complimented, so the defense cannot be reassuring.


    In the case of Liverpool having the opportunity to fight back, Aldridge saw the weakness of Liverpool''s attack, especially the lack of creativity in the midfield organization.


    If Redknapp Jr. was not seriously injured, maybe he is still a good candidate for midfield organization, but unfortunately, Liverpool now has a tendency to move towards engineering in the midfield. If the forward attacking organization is not creative, the ball will be routed. The offensive routines are easily predicted by opponents, and the threat is greatly reduced. This is similar to the problems encountered by the England national team since the 1998 World Cup.


    Liverpool''s defense can''t be tightly matched, and the offense can''t be pushed forward.


    Before the end of the first half, Henry and Larson swapped positions again. Larson received the ball in front of the penalty area and was shoveled down by Murphy. Fortunately, he protected himself in time to avoid falling down, otherwise he was really shoveled. Legs up.


    Seeing this scene, Aldridge shouted angrily to the fourth official on the sidelines: "Then **** is a red card action!"


    While he was angry, the referee did show a red card to Murphy. The height of the opponent''s foot off the ground was too conspicuous. If Larson didn''t hide, he might kick directly on Larsen''s knee. The protection of the shin guards is likely to break the leg on the spot!


    Although Anfield sent a boo to the referee, the referee''s sentence has not changed.


    Southgate even came close to Murphy for Larsson. When the incident subsided, the injury stoppage time passed 5 minutes. The referee intends to wait for the direct free kick to complete the first half of the game. The ending whistle.


    Pirlo, Ronaldinho, and Schneider stood in front of the ball. In the end, Ronaldinho directly took the penalty. The ball crossed the wall after a beautiful arc and fell. After rubbing the lower edge of the beam, he got into the goal.


    Larson looked back and laughed at the goal: "Recovered feeling?"


    Ronaldinho shook his head and said, "I don''t know, I kicked with my eyes closed.


    After he finished, he closed his eyes and made a prayer cross.

 Chapter 432： Rebirth of child prodigy

    "Millwall and Liverpool ended the first half of the game. Liverpool at home fell behind by three goals and was sent off. Hollier''s team is like a set of sand. There is no resistance to the defending champion and there is no way to make opponents. Trouble, maybe Hollier complained that the schedule was justified before the game. They met the defending champions too early. The team did not wear at all. Some of the starting players were newly promoted young players, and some were transferred during the summer. The new aid came, they didn¡¯t even play for a month together, and now they are completely suppressed by the top teams in the Premier League. Everything looks natural.¡±


    No matter how Aldridge boosted the morale of the players before the game, after halftime, they may not have reached the point of disappointment, but they have completely relaxed.


    Beating Liverpool and conquering Anfield is not a difficult task at all...


    Especially seeing the opponent''s poor performance on the court in person, unable to match Liverpool and the giants.


    Aldridge did not expect a three-goal lead in the first half, and Liverpool was sent off, so he made some adjustments at halftime to allow the team to stay in the second half and slowly play.


    This is also a good environment to improve Pirlo''s ability to master the global rhythm.


    At the beginning of the second half, Millwall began to master the game rhythm steadily, improve the pass success rate, and did not risk to play the penetration ball, Pirlo dispatched in the midfield, 10 minutes of the game may not see him in 9 minutes There are any characteristics, passing, running, receiving, and passing again, the speed has been maintained at a slow and stable level, but there is only 1 minute in 10 minutes, Pirlo suddenly accelerates, which can allow the team to The offense suddenly accelerated, and the threat was greater than the sustained fast pace in the first half.


    This change in rhythm and the speeding of the offensive have higher demands on Pirlo, and he is also improving little by little, which makes Aldridge very pleased.


    Liverpool played one less. The players on the field didn''t give up, fighting aggressively and fiercely, but it was like playing a Taiji with Tai Chi. It couldn''t be used effectively. The rampage had no effect at all.


    Instead, they often rushed too hard and Millwall seized the opportunity to penetrate the defense.


    In the 57th minute, Larson broke into Mateo again after cutting inside, forcing Hypia to make up for defense, and Hypia''s heart was broken. He knew that he would expose the middle road after the defense, but He had to come to make up for it, otherwise? Let Larson shoot directly?


    Sure enough, he moved and rushed halfway, Larsson passed the header, the ball flew from Hypia''s head, Henry headered the goal in front of the goal, and his head was completely unmarked. The ball is high.


    "Wow, Henry, he missed a golden opportunity!"


    After scoring a goal, Henry rushed into the goal, his head was caught in the net with both hands, and he looked annoyed.


    It seemed that no one was putting pressure on him to stare at him, but he felt a little lacking in the final blow.


    When the game came to the 60th minute, Aldridge made a substitution.


    Klose and Ramall were replaced and Henry and Nedved ended.


    Nedved scored twice and hugged Ramall on the end, encouraging him in his ear.


    Henry and Klose handed over the hand, and Aldridge said to Henry, who was slightly frustrated: "It''s not because you are in poor condition to change you, but because we still have a game four days later."


    Henry nodded and sat on the bench. In fact, besides not scoring goals, his performance was very good. The running position involved, covering his teammates, he did a very good job. If there is a goal, then he is in this game Will score very high.


    When Ramall played, Anfield¡¯s stands were as usual, and the vast majority of Red Army fans did not know this guy.


    However, the Liverpool players on the field stayed in Ramor for a long time.


    Gerald, Simpson, Irving, and Carragher who were replaced.


    Once upon a time, the four of them were teammates fighting side by side with Ramall in the youth team, and in that generation of youth teams, the most shining figure was Ramall, the one who was hailed as a prodigy, and Owen could only give him a substitute. Ramall!


    The human situation is wonderful. When Ramor was seriously injured and healed, Owen began to take the position. When Ramor rented Doncaster to sink in a simple and rough tactical system, the other teammates got new contracts one after another. Moore returned to Liverpool with a half-season loan of 0 goals and 0 assists. When his teammates were swept out of the house, the other teammates were indebted, and a generation of prodigy fell.


    Ramall played. At 22 years old, he was more like 25 years old, or older, because he looked mature and calm, like a turbulent lake.


    Finally, he stood on the turf of Anfield!


    It''s just that he became an enemy of Liverpool, and never again, it was impossible to put on the Red Army''s shirt.


    The childhood dream was completely smashed at the moment when he was swept out of the house, and when loneliness and confusion almost ran into the abyss, Millwall opened another door for him, reinvigorated him, and worked quietly, prodigy? There is no prodigy anymore, just an ordinary Ramor, a Ramor who is grateful to Zaid in a dark blue shirt.


    Pirlo is still driving the team with a tepid rhythm. Ronaldinho has also started to catch up, running to catch the ball, kicking the ball out, handing the rhythm control to Pirlo, and continuously stretching to tear Liverpool''s defense. .


    Lamor scored a goal in the last game. Aldridge wanted to see more of his performance on the field. Now that he is on the field, he enters the role very well and runs to meet the position. He does not wait for the opponent to get out of the ball. The frontcourt players interacted well and connected.


    At first glance, he can''t see anything special about him, especially his personal play. He hasn''t done it once, and the football will not stay under his feet for more than a second. Who can pay special attention to him?


    However, when he is on the court, he can prevent the ball from passing into a deadlock, actively running, pulling out a neutral response, and one point of activity can often affect other points, especially the front waist position. The front waist is in a dead position and is completely stared to death, then the entire offensive of the front court will fall into the quagmire. Even if the sideline is played, the sideline will not find the empty ball.


    Obviously, Ramor''s teamwork, ball-free running and receiving consciousness, the overall situation, and the ability to read the game have performed better than Aldridge expected!


    In the 79th minute, Liverpool made a big pass in the backcourt. Materazzi walked away, but the header didn''t clear the ball, but the top. The high position made the goalkeeper and the guard line longer. , Became an indirect assist, Owen quickly started to chase the ball.


    The wind chasing boy ran fast, but it was still so close. Butt was fully absorbed. After Materazzi headed, he immediately abandoned the goal and expanded the defensive area. When less than two meters away from Irving, he flew the ball. Shooved back to Materazzi in front, who then kicked the ball to Schneider on the side, then raised his hand to Bout to apologize.


    Bout quickly got up and showed a helpless expression towards Materazzi.


    No matter how the two communicate with each other, Schneider gave the ball to Pirlo. Pirlo saw Liverpool involuntarily push up the formation because of this attack. The back defense was loose, and the speed was immediately increased. The ground pass through After receiving Liverpool''s midfielder, he directly gave the ball to Ronaldinho on the wing.


    Ronaldinho quickly started after touching the ball and made a two-on-one match with Klose who was approaching. He continued to move laterally and passed the ball to Ramall when facing the envelope.


    Ramall stopped the ball, and afterglow in the corner of his eyes had seen Gerrard rushing towards him.


    Gerald? long time no see!


    Ramall knocked the ball back in the heel, and Pirlo pressed up. At the same time, Ramall quickly moved forward. Simpson, who was dragging in front of the defender, passed him, and Ramall glanced at him.


    Simpson? At that time, I really don''t think how much you can do in the midfield, but you can also start in Liverpool? !


    Simpson chased back. His chase made Hypia have the illusion that Simpson could completely stare at Ramor, but Simpson did not chase thoroughly, just when Ramor and the defender line interlaced and parallel, Pirlo did not pass the ball. For Larson or Ronaldinho or Klose, go straight to the top and plug directly, and find Lamor!


    Simpson jumped halfway to try to clear the header, but the ball fell into the penalty area. Before he landed, Ramall had already adjusted his shooting posture to the open position, and he did not exert any force against the falling ball. The ball was refracted and flew to the upper right corner of the goal. Westwerder made a wrong judgment and could only look at the ball with sigh. He thought that Lamor would stop the ball!


    "4:0, Millwall scored another goal in the 80th minute of the game. The goal was the substitute teenager David Lamore. He has scored in the bench for two consecutive games. The state is really good! According to our understanding According to the news, this teenager was a Liverpool youth player, but did not get a professional contract from Liverpool. He was abandoned by Liverpool and then entered Millwall youth training. This season, he officially played for the first team of Millwall. It can be seen that he was reborn in Millwall!"


    After scoring, Ramall did not have resentment because Liverpool gave up on him, and then frantically celebrated in Anfield. He jogged to the sidelines, took off his jersey and smiled as he faced the camera.


    On the T-shirt worn in his jersey, there is a simple sentence: Thank you, Najib!


    In the conference room of the Millwallio training base, Najib watched the team''s game with the coach of the youth team. When he saw Ramor''s gratitude in the camera, he closed his eyes and showed a charming smile. .


    It was Aldridge''s decision to bring Ramor to Millwall, but in the past, Najib has been with Ramor, teaching him carefully, walking him out of the shadows, and cheering him up again.


    Aldridge was heartily happy with Ramall¡¯s behavior.


    Happy to be happy, but he will not consider him the main force because he has scored in the bench for two consecutive games. Obviously, the main goals of Liverpool''s marking are Ronaldinho, Larsen, Klose, and Lamor. Being neglected and having more powerful teammates to cover, can unexpectedly become a point of attack for a fatal blow.


    If the offense had just been replaced by Nedved, Mo said that Simpson could not catch up, and Hypeia would certainly not expect midfield players to limit the opponent.


    But such a good substitute is what Millwall needs.


    Liverpool''s players were frustrated, especially Owen, who was staring at Larmor who was surrounded by his teammates to celebrate from afar.


    The picture that appeared in his mind was the scene when Aldridge personally came to the door but was rejected by him.


    If time could go back in time, would he still refuse?


    "At the end of the match, defending champion Millwall defeated his opponent with the same score in two consecutive rounds. Tottenham and Liverpool became the victims of their defending road in the new season. Two games 4:0 also announced Millwall in the new season. With what momentum will they face all competitors, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Leeds United, these teams that claim to be eyeing the champions in the new season, they may only play against Millwall twice during the season. The unstoppable momentum of Millwall will bring them unimaginable mental pressure, but this is the Premier League, this is the game of the strong, overcome the pressure, and surpass the self to be able to laugh at the heroes!"

 Chapter 433： Ibrahimovic, what champion?

    After the game, Aldridge hurriedly shook hands with Hollier, without any conversation. He just patted Hollier''s arm and turned away. The other party made a good start in the new season and struggled to beat Xie Wednesday on the road. Unexpectedly, the first Four home games were given to the league, and one person was sent off, losing and losing.


    It''s not that Liverpool can''t lose, but the timing of losing is very bad. This is the key period for the new Liverpool team to improve their growth. Any blow may take a long time to restore adjustment. Hollier''s situation is somewhat similar to that of Aldridge. When he first started Millwall, he played a conservative anti-anti-tactic, not afraid of not winning, or losing morale.


    In the post-match interview, Aldridge seemed a little impatient. When faced with a reporter¡¯s question, he all spoke lightly and quickly and perfunctoryly, then returned to the locker room to praise the team¡¯s performance, and then let the team sit on the bus. Back in London, he continued to stay in Liverpool and enjoyed his happy time with his children.


    This season''s Millwall has completely transformed, especially in the 27-year-old Nedved, 28-year-old Larson, 29-year-old Southgate and other experienced mainstay, and 26-year-old Schneider. With the help of the old minister, Millwall''s overall stability and lineage age are more powerful than ever.


    Three days later, Millwall went to Vera Park, Henry scored twice, Larsson added icing on the cake, and Millwall won the game easily with no suspense 3:0 away.


    The league has won three consecutive games and scored 11 goals without loosing one goal. Millwall, who was listed as the top champion before the season, has lived up to the expectations of the fans and showed momentum that no one can stop!


    As he was preparing for the fourth round of the league, Aldridge received news that shocked him!


    "Anelka''s ¡ê22.9 million transfer to Real Madrid!"


    It wasn''t until the end of August that Arsenal and Real Madrid''s transfer soap opera came to an end. Last season''s brilliant Anelka switched to La Liga.


    This transfer news did not surprise Odridge in the slightest.


    However, on the next day, Arsenal officially announced a transfer news that made Aldridge slightly distracted in front of the TV.


    He stood in the office and looked at the news broadcast on the ceiling TV. It was an Arsenal press conference.


    Wenger handed the No. 9 jersey to a young, tall and handsome young man beside him.


    Behind the jersey, above the number, the player''s name is printed.


    Ibrahimovic!


    God of War Lu Bu, uh, God of War Ibrahimovic joins Arsenal, the transfer fee is 3.5 million pounds!


    This transfer fee sounds low, but think about where Ibrahimovic transferred to Arsenal, it can be relieved, Malmo!


    The Nordic League can''t retain the stars, nor retain the good seedlings. Ibrahimovic made the club earn 3.5 million pounds six months after joining Malm?. The other side may be happy to cry.


    And this money, even 20% of Anelka''s switch to Real Madrid!


    Why did Fengxian go to the arsenal?


    Aldridge looked thoughtful.


    Suddenly, his expression relaxed.


    Ibrahimovic disclosed in the original history that before he switched to Ajax, Arsenal did send him an invitation, and he is also preparing to join Arsenal, but Wenger''s attitude makes him think he has not been respected , And then rejected Arsenal, and immediately went to Ajax.


    At that time, Wenger had Henry + Bergkamp, ??who sold Anelka''s transfer fee, and just took half to introduce Henry.


    But now, Wenger can''t beat Henry''s idea at all. The next thing he can''t afford is Audric. It''s impossible to sell. Why should Henry go to Arsenal? He has the main force in Millwall, has a championship, plays like a fish, and goes to Arsenal to get used to it? Just to continue the relationship with Wenger?


    Wenger also had a headache for the striker. Even if he was grateful to George Weah for his recommendation, Wenger still politely rejected the opponent. The opponent is too old to meet the Arsenal''s youthful team-building strategy.


    Arsenal plans to announce the new stadium plan in the second half of the year. The team is about to enter the difficult and simple life of saving money. Wenger has to spend a small amount of money to do big things, and the striker still has to buy it.


    So he can''t say to Ibrahimovic in the original history: We are interested in you, you can try it out.


    Ibrahimovic was irritated because the other party asked him to try out instead of directly inviting himself to join, giving up the idea of ??joining Arsenal.


    But now, Corporal Wenger Lixian directly offered Malmo a bid to introduce Ibrahimovic. Ibrahimovic not only landed in the five major leagues, but also joined the Premier League giant Arsenal. He immediately came to London for a medical examination and quickly completed the transfer transaction.


    At this moment, Yiwen knocked on the door and asked curiously, "What are you thinking?"


    Aldridge grinned. He thought of a good paragraph, but no one knew it.


    It seems that, Ibrahimovic, what champion?


    Uh huh... Did Arsenal buy a patron saint of league champions?


    Yi Wen saw him smiling strangely, walked in and looked up at the TV, suddenly said: "He, he said, he is not the player you want to introduce before? Why didn''t you buy it?"


    Aldridge looked at her with a strange expression: "How do you know I wanted to buy him before?"


    Yiwen''s expression was even more weird, and he said in surprise: "The newspapers are all written! Haven''t you read the newspaper?"


    Aldrich shook his head and said, "I haven''t been free recently."


    Yiwen whispered.


    Speaking of this, there has been a wicked evil spirit in UEFA in the past two years!


    Many young famous or self-recognized talented players, their agents will give out fake news: Millwall young coach Odridge is interested in my players!


    Some news is true, such as Ibrahimovic, but Aldridge invites Ibrahimovic to come and hope he can join the Millwall youth team. The other party refused with arrogance and he was still free.


    Some news is false, such as 18-year-old Gareth Barry who has played for Aston Villa. His agent once claimed that when Elgra left the team, Audridge wanted Barry to go to Millwall. Vacancy after replacing Elgra, central defender!


    Now Barry is playing as a defender in Aston Villa. Even if Adrige really wants Barry, he will not let him play as a defender. And because Barry was caught in a transfer transaction dispute that year, Adrich did not like it. Trouble, he would not be interested in him at all.


    This agent used other team''s interest rumors to sell players is to use tricks, the story between Audridge and Ibrahimovic is true, so Audridge heard the other agent when he sold Ibrahimovic. Moving out to increase Ibrahimovic''s gold content, he didn''t think there was any problem. The fact is the fact that Ibrahimovic is a good player, and he didn''t change because he rejected Aldridge.


    "how are things?"


    Yiwen asked with a smile.


    Aldridge smiled bitterly: "A little tired."


    "But sweet in my heart?"


    "Well, my diaper changing skills have reached full level."


    "Oh, pay attention to rest, don''t be exhausted."


    After speaking, Yiwen turned and left.


    At the press conference before the start of the fourth round of the league, Aldridge was asked the most by the reporter about Arsenal''s transfer.


    In particular, he was asked about his views on Ibrahimovic. Perhaps people want to verify whether the rumors in the newspaper are true.


    "I know what you want to ask, yes, once, I sent an invitation to Ibrahimovic, but he refused me, there is nothing to hide, I respect the choice of players, and I will not be sad and lost because of his rejection, Life is still going on. Looking forward, my club has hundreds of players from the first team to the youth team. We don¡¯t depend on a certain player. We don¡¯t expect anyone who is strong to be powerful, and we won¡¯t be lacking because of who we are. And the results have plummeted, we are a whole, a team, now the players who are united in the team, they are the best I think, the most suitable for Millwall, we will use the record and performance to prove this point, As for Ibrahimovic, he has great talent and the potential to become a top player, but he is not yet."


    "In the future, is it possible for Millwall to introduce Ibrahimovic? For example, after Arsenal improved his abilities."


    "Who knows about the future? But I don¡¯t think so. We have neither the striker of the year nor the frontline talent reserve. I appreciate the ability to understand the team¡¯s tactical system and form a tacit understanding with teammates. Players, but it all takes time. Like Henry, it took him about six months to fully integrate here after he came to the team. Now, he performs better than last season, but if other players suddenly Joining Millwall, I¡¯m not sure how long it will take him to integrate into the team."


    "After Arsenal introduced Ibrahimovic, will their strength decline or rise compared to last year?"


    "They not only introduced Ibrahimovic, but also bought a lot of other players. Although at the end of each season, the outside world will always comment on each club''s single-season transfer, some clubs do spend money but they seem to have the strength instead. It has dropped, but I think Arsenal introduced Ibrahimovic, which is a great value. Otherwise, I will not invite Ibrahimovic to join Millwall. Looking at his figure, the Premier League defender will have a headache. "


    "Ibrahimovic..."


    "Gentlemen, can we get the topic back to the main line? Please give Leicester City enough respect, okay? Today is the pre-match press conference between Millwall and Leicester City, not A seminar on Arsenal transfer signing."


    Aldridge had to knock on the table to ask the reporters to ask something relevant.


    But the reporters were depressed.


    Leicester City?


    There is a fart news!


    The most lively thing recently is Ibrahimovic. Not only was Wenger charged to the account, but he was also fancy by Aldridge before. This is what everyone is curious about.


    The scene you all want to see is: Ibrahimovic came out at Arsenal, and then led Arsenal to challenge Millwall!


    This combined the story of Aldridge and Ibrahimovic''s miss, and it''s **** news!


    The reporters in the audience looked through the information. Leicester City is actually amazing enough. In the new season, they only lost to Arsenal on the road. They won Coventry at home and tied Chelsea. They had felt last season. It''s no surprise that the midstream team played this record.


    But Fleet Street''s evaluation of Leicester City led by Martin O''Neill in recent years is: create miracles, continue to create miracles!


    Leicester City¡¯s club budget is the countdown to the Premier League. This is not only the transfer budget, but also the operating cost and club salary cost budget. Therefore, they can¡¯t buy more high-level players. Tony and Goodjohnson can''t keep it anymore, they can''t afford to raise wages.


    Martin O¡¯Neill is not like this. Not only did he not relegate the team, but he has been in the middle and upper reaches for years. Occasionally, he took a League Cup to make fans happy. Under the increasingly fierce competition in the Premier League environment, his coaching level no one can. Doubt, on the contrary, everyone is watching how long the Leicester City miracle can last.

 Chapter 434： hard power

    Martin O¡¯Neill and Audridge are not business partners, because they have never worked together and are not good friends in life, but if they meet, they will be opposites during the game, before or after the game. , Get together and always talk about some positive topics related to football, the development trend of football tactics, the changes in the roles of some players on the field, express their opinions on a focus game, express their opinions from different perspectives, and often both can get Benefits.


    Although Leicester City is not the hardship of Millwall, but the two teams meet, O''Neill''s team will always make Millwall into a hard fight.


    Don¡¯t look at O¡¯Neal¡¯s conservative anti-anti tactics every time he plays against Aldridge. Even Leicester City is almost a year of defensive counterattacks going to black. There are not many teams in the Premier League that play anti-anti Relegated, some ranking behind O¡¯Neal¡¯s team, richer than Leicester City, there are more teams with better squads, but the record is not better than Leicester City, which also reflects O¡¯Neal¡¯s Coaching ability.


    When the two met again at the Lion''s Cave Stadium, Audridge smiled at O''Neill: "Do you want to snipe me again today?"


    O''Neill pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and calmly said: "I feel that it will be dangerous today."


    "Winger, Ferguson, Vialli will come here, just like you said, shouldn''t you come here, shouldn''t you feel a sense of crisis?"


    O''Neal looked depressed, shook hands with Audridge and then turned around and walked back to the coach''s seat.


    Aldridge teased the opponent and then gave up. He also walked back to the coach and stood to direct the game.


    After the game started, Aldridge saw the situation in Leicester City and raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.


    In the past few years, Leicester City played Millwall, and the defensive formation has been difficult to interpret with conventional 442, 4141 and the like.


    It''s exactly like a 631.


    The four guards compress the penalty area, the bilateral forwards can defend the bottom, or they can defend the area at the top corner of the penalty area. There must be three people intercepting in front of the penalty area, leaving an offensive fulcrum Tony in front, as long as he fights back, Tony controls the ball first Then, the opponent counterattacked with a unilateral flying wing. Tony scored the ball and continued to develop the offense.


    The reason for this stable defensive posture is that even if it is a counterattack, the defensive formation in the backcourt is still static. Only one of the full-backs has stepped forward to participate in the attack. In addition, Good Johnson also followed up. The counterattack relies on three people to fight back. Success, failure to pull down, at least the back line will not be exposed because of the premise of the formation or the number of defensive players is reduced, but Millwall is caught and torn off the line of defense.


    In the past, Millwall''s individual ability was still under fire. In the face of Leicester City with super tactical discipline, the success rate of one-on-one was good, but one-on-two was completely unable to withstand. If you invest more offensive force, Come over and be counterattacked by the opponent, the chance of losing the ball increases instead.


    But today Millwall has a strong ability to stand alone, and the offensive players in the frontcourt are one-on-one, as long as there is enough space on the defense line to continuously get rid of the opponent within a small range.


    Leicester City''s player abilities are really limited, even if tactics are used to make up for it, they were beaten in front of the goal 20 minutes before the first half.


    Pirlo''s long shot was blocked by the defender and almost flew into the goal.


    Henry took the ball away from the spot and turned away. Then he shot and was shot by the goalkeeper with one hand out of the crossbar.


    Nedv¨§d made a header and hit the crossbar in the penalty area.


    Larson was tripped inside the penalty area, the referee signaled that there was no foul.


    After playing for 20 minutes, Leicester City failed to make a counterattack. Today Millwall¡¯s marking on Tony was very successful. Materazzi held Tony and did not let the opponent catch a high-altitude ball. Makelele was in his The area in front of you blocks the ground pass.


    Twenty minutes later, Aldridge touched his nose and inadvertently gritted his teeth, as if to open a large mouth of the blood basin.


    Millwall continuously hit the ball into the restricted area of ??Leicester City, compressing the opponent''s defense line and then compressing it. Almost the opponent''s defender almost blocked the goal in parallel with the goalkeeper.


    On the court, Nedved did not move forward after taking the ball in the frontcourt. Instead, he turned back and knocked on the left. Zambrotta had a large area in front of him. He shot the horse and stopped the ball and dialed forward. Adjust the step point, long shot!


    Martin O''Neill smashed a mineral water bottle on the sidelines and shouted to the players on the court: "In front of the top corner of the restricted area, they are putting back players to cover the long shot!"


    Slam.


    Zambrotta, who had plenty of time to choose the angle and force, this long shot was blocked before entering the penalty area, directly smashing a Leicester City defender, the ball bounced out and landed at Pirlo''s feet , The opponent immediately someone came up and rushed, Pirlo scored the ball to the front right, Schneider killed unexpectedly, almost the same as Zambrotta, stopped the ball, dialed, and selected a long shot from a good angle.


    He didn''t deliberately choose to exert force on this ball, the strength was moderate, but the angle was extremely tricky, and the banana ball flew towards the goal with a strong rotation from right to left.


    Looking from the front, I felt that the goalkeeper could definitely hit the ball the first time, but when the ball flew to the goal, the goalkeeper rushed out, the hand seemed to be farther and farther away from the ball, and then I saw Schneider''s long shot actually On the sideline, of course, the goal is scored! Hit the side net inside the goal!


    "Schneider''s super-world wave! How did this goal get in the end? That arc is so beautiful, this is definitely the best goal of the round, absolutely!"


    Schneider didn¡¯t celebrate after scoring a goal, but like Zambrotta, he trot to the Leicester City player who was Zambrotta¡¯s long shot and fell on his chest. Not getting up makes people very worried.


    Zambrotta knew how strong he had been in the long-range shot just now, and the loud sound made by the opponent was enough to show the force generated during the collision.


    Leicester City conceded a goal, but Millwall did not celebrate. They and the Leicester City player were surrounded by the downfall player.


    The team doctor quickly entered the field, and not only called the stretcher, but also let the ambulance wait outside. After the team doctor''s preliminary diagnosis, this player may have broken ribs...


    Zambrotta patted the man''s shoulder and whispered apologetically, while the other Millwall players wished him well.


    Aldridge and O''Neill exchanged two words on the sidelines, and people with clear eyes can see that it was an accident just now. If Zambrotta really shoots towards that player, he will not necessarily hit it.


    O''Neill was a little frustrated and said to Audridge: "You just arranged the tactics before the game today? You pressed the penalty area in the first 20 minutes. When the penalty area was left empty, the two fullbacks plugged in for a long shot."


    "Well, it can be said."


    "What if you can''t score from long range?"


    "Then you can''t always watch my players take long shots?"


    "Alas, hard power."


    O''Neill doesn''t ask anymore. In fact, O''Dridge''s tactics are nothing strange.


    Personal breakthrough, positioning ball, long shot.


    O''Neill has allowed players to compress their defenses without giving the opponent a space to break through. The opponent can pass a player, but may not be able to make continuous breakthroughs. He also pays attention to actions during defense and tries not to position the ball for the opponent.


    Before the change, when the difference in strength was not that great, especially when Millwall''s offensive player''s personal ability was not as strong as it is now, it rarely gave the opponent such a loose long-range space.


    It just means that the opponent''s personal ability is now stronger, so more people are needed to defend, and the lateral protection before the penalty area is naturally weakened.


    This is the gap in hard power, but O¡¯Neill doesn¡¯t think that changing whoever leads this Millwall can beat himself. Just by combining the offensive players in the frontcourt to form a stronger fighting power than expected, it¡¯s not Anyone can do it.


    Although Aldridge holds a good card, even if he wins O''Neill, he will not feel the victory is invincible. If the attitude of the two teams is the same, he can''t win, he would rather resign instead. However, the opponent was defensive, and now less than 25 minutes, Millwall fully suppressed the opponent and successfully tackled the problem. He can enjoy the joy of this moment.


    The team fell behind and O''Neal changed people, and then let the players try to take the initiative and increase their enthusiasm for the offense.


    However, this batch of Leicester City players has been anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti.


    Especially in the face of Millwall''s enormous offensive pressure, they involuntarily just go back to defend, and the offense is still the old routine.


    Defensive rely on us, attack to find Tony!


    After 13 minutes, Ronaldinho dribbled the opponent''s defender in the penalty area and was dragged to the ground. This time, the referee took a penalty.


    The Leicester City players did not protest, O''Neal sighed and sat back on the coach''s seat, his eyes filled with helplessness looking towards the court.


    Millwall is so strong that he feels overwhelmed.


    He also does not blame the players, the strength is that level, almost the level of the top three in the Premier League, in other words, the value is not far from the value of the Premier League relegation team players.


    Ronaldinho can''t help it, so he can only get started.


    Larsson stood in front of the penalty kick, without any pressure, Millwall took a 2-0 lead in the first half, and this score remained until the end of the midfield.


    In the second half, Aldridge still made substitutions in 60 minutes, replacing Larson and Ronaldinho, and let Glenshire and Ramall play.


    In the leading position, Aldrich signaled to let Pirlo master the rhythm and hone the "metronome" skills. This improvement in technical level not only depends on himself, but also on the cooperation of his teammates. He is slow, his teammates are slow, he Quick, teammates also need to be fast, especially when speeding up or slowing down suddenly. If a teammate cannot understand his intentions, he will not be able to cooperate.


    Ramor, who has scored two consecutive goals, was very excited after playing, but today this game, he did not allow Audridge to continue to see his flash side. On the contrary, Audridge saw his flaws.


    In the 80th minute of the game, Aldridge called Ramall to the front and said lightly: "If you find that you and your teammates are not in the same game rhythm, then you have to find your own problem, remember I change you up Your tactical requirements!"


    Ramall wanted to score, so he was very excited, but when the team¡¯s rhythm was controlled by Pirlo, he was out of this rhythm. When he touched the ball, he would speed up the rhythm, regardless of whether his teammates were Slow is fast, he is like a bull, thinking of breaking through the opponent''s door.


    Before changing him up, Aldridge specifically reminded him, but he did not do it, which means that his tactical discipline still needs to be improved.


    After being taught by Aldridge, Ramall returned to the field to calm down and his performance became better and better. At least he was at a rhythm with his teammates. Finally, before the end of the game, Glennall shot from outside the penalty area. Saved by the goalkeeper, Henry followed up to make up the shot and locked the score at 3:0.


    Millwall led the league table with four straight wins in the new season.

 Chapter 435： Little prince dyed red in half an hour

    Early in the morning, Aldridge woke up from his sleep. He was confused for a while. After 5 minutes, he woke up completely and walked into the gym wearing a pair of boxer briefs.


    Opening the curtains, the bright sunlight shot into the room, he put on headphones to listen to the morning broadcast, and then jogged on the treadmill, the whole person was energetic, as if there was something happy to be with him all the time, his face kept smiling unconsciously .


    After getting up and finishing his fitness, he walked into the bathroom, took a shower, looked at a photo next to the mirror while brushing his teeth, and said to himself with a smile: "Bert, Earl, good morning."


    After having breakfast at home, Aldridge drove to the club alone. On the way, he bought two cups of coffee at a street fast food restaurant. When entering the training base, he handed one of the coffees to the young doorman.


    "Hi, Aldridge."


    "Good morning, Robert, please."


    Robert took the coffee and shook his head slightly with a smile.


    Since returning to work in the club in the summer, Aldridge feels different than before, he is relaxed, happy, full of enthusiasm every day, and can infect everyone around him.


    He also thought that maybe after having a child, he will settle down and his passion will decline, but in fact, every day now, he is more energetic, it seems that every day is bright and brand new.


    Because he had to lead the team to play the home league today, he did not go to Liverpool yesterday. When he came to the training ground to prepare for the start of training, Klinsmann told him bad news.


    "Ronaldinho accidentally knocked his leg while swimming last night. I''m afraid I can''t race today."


    Hearing this news, Aldridge did not feel any worries in his heart, but felt that it was nothing but a laugh.


    "What is he doing?"


    "I don¡¯t know. After yesterday¡¯s pre-match preparations, he and Villa and several other players were swimming in the club¡¯s indoor pool. It seemed that the legs knocked against the wall when they turned back and forth. The injuries were not serious. Will be fine."


    Aldrich scratched his head and sighed: "Then let him take care of his injuries, training depends on the situation, and heed the advice of the team doctor. Find a player to start for him today, uh, let Joe Cole take his place. Right."


    Player injuries are sometimes weird. Of course, Gascoin¡¯s kind of standing on the ball with his feet and being injured by his teammates for a few months is a special and funny negative example, but accidental injuries in life are very common.


    Before the training started, Klinsmann threw the shirt of the main player to Joe Cole. Everyone could not see Ronaldinho appearing on the training ground. They were all suspicious. Klinsmann then announced that Ronaldinho would have a wound. This week, the league is expected to be absent today and four days later.


    Villa and Joe Cole actually knew that Ronaldinho would be absent from the game last night. They swam together and were by Ronaldinho''s side when the incident happened, but neither of them took it seriously. The bench lineup only.


    But Van der Mede and Glenn Charles were not scheduled to start. Aldrich wanted to see it again in the next game. Ronaldinho could not go on and sent Van der Mede to play.


    Joe Cole ecstatically took over the main jersey, immediately put it on himself, then turned his head and grinned at Villa Vicente and others, and Villa and others bowed their heads and scolded: What dog did Joe go? Shit!


    There are two Cole in the team, one of them is Ashley, one is Joe, Villa and other teammates, including Ronaldinho, are all called Joe Cole Xiaoqiao...


    To play in the afternoon, there is no intensity in the morning training. Basically, it is a multi-touch skill. After a reasonable meal and rest arranged by the club, we must step on the court to welcome the game.


    In the fifth round of the Premier League, Millwall continued to sit at home and ushered in an opponent who had nothing to do with the power: Saint Southampton.


    This team has two of the last three seasons and the final ranking is the penultimate. In other words, they are relegated by only one step.


    The comment on Fleet Street said: Southampton did not relegate last season, it is unreasonable!


    They are the second-lowest goal-scoring team in the league and the second-highest number of goals conceded in the Premier League.


    In other words, their defense is sparse, their offense is weak, and the audience wants to see goals, is a wonderful defense, they obviously can not please the public.


    However, last season they announced the success of relegation two rounds in advance, and finally ranked fourth from the bottom.


    In the face of such an opponent, even though Millwall lacked Ronaldinho, Joe Cole entered the starting line instead. As long as Joe Cole did not help on the court, winning the opponent was no problem.


    Under the circumstances of the big brothers'' pressure, Joe Cole was not attracting attention and was not the focus of the opponent''s defense. Therefore, when he was covered by the team stars, he played well and could not talk about the surprise of being famous. Feeling, at least it can make people shine, hold the ball on the field, dare to make moves, not afraid of losing the ball, even if the ball is lost, it will be the first time to fight back.


    Aldridge only gave Joe Cole 65 minutes, he did not score or assist, but Millwall has achieved a 3-0 lead, two of which he has participated in the offensive response, in the end Won the applause of the audience.


    Aldridge also applauded him when he came down, hoping that such a game would improve his self-confidence.


    This was Millwall''s fifth league game, and it was also the fifth consecutive game that Aldridge had replaced two players in less than 70 minutes. The team''s posture also slowed down from the offense, allowing Pirlo to master the rhythm.


    "It''s not good, it''s really bad! We watch Millwall''s game, we want to see their wonderful performance in 90 minutes, but now we can only enjoy the wonderful football they played in 70 minutes, even 60 minutes."


    Narrator Martin Taylor sees Millwall substitutions and can basically guess what the next game will look like.


    "Martin, this can''t blame Hall, his team is too strong, he needs to give the bench some time, and needs to save the team''s physical fitness. If you want to find someone who should be responsible, I think it is the FA, they In the scheduled schedule, Millwall will not encounter a strong enemy in the first nine rounds. Until the tenth round of the league, Millwall will meet the challenge of Arsenal. Once, Millwall is in the new season UEFA Champions League group stage group Entering a group surrounded by strong enemies, Millwall has entered a difficult schedule since the tenth round of the Premier League. On average, there are tough battles every week. It depends on their luck in the Champions League draw."


    "Although Manchester United quickly adjusted after averaging Everton in the first round, they won a four-game winning streak in a 2-1 victory over Coventry in the match that ended yesterday, but it can absolutely kill the game in 60 minutes compared to Millwall. It¡¯s really impossible to imagine which team in the Premier League can stop Millwall, you know, they haven¡¯t even lost a ball! Even the number of absolute opportunities given to opponents is zero!"


    "So the fans of the crazy lion are also looking forward to the start of the new season Champions League in the interview. They can''t wait to play against the strong teams in Europe."


    In the end, Millwall won again with 4:0. Even if Millwall started to recover in 60 minutes, the opponent who had been nearly destroyed has no resistance, especially when Millwall took the initiative to slow down. The opponent will be confused, thinking that Millwall will put the game into garbage time and close it when he sees it.


    But Pirlo suddenly speeded up to play a wave of fast break, the effect is to see the blood seal the throat!


    Larsson scored twice, Henry and Nedved scored one goal each. In the Premier League standings, Millwall not only won five games, scored 18 goals, but also scored three Millwall players in the scorer list. , Assisting Pirlo''s ride.


    Four days later, Manchester United swept Newcastle United 5:1 at home, and Millwall defeated the newly promoted Marl Bratford with a 2-0 away game to declare the league temporarily ended.


    FIFA match day is coming, which has nothing to do with Aldridge''s work, but before that, he will lead his team to play a League Cup at home.


    The opponent drawn by Millwall is unknown: Mole Camby.


    For such opponents, Aldridge is very happy, can be used to train troops, Moore Camby also spent flowers to celebrate, they have drawn the strong team Millwall that is concerned throughout Europe!


    Because of their home battle, the income of tickets plus broadcast fees will make their club seniors have a happy mouth. Perhaps the prospect of promotion is very optimistic, but it does not matter. For the League Cup and the FA Cup, many games are not necessarily profitable. It''s best to play at home, but it is a big prize to be able to meet a hot team that won the championship at home.


    In Mole Camby, Aldridge didn''t have a main force and played all the substitutes. This season, Millwall has a large number of backup lineups. He intends to come in a big rotation, which is also to stimulate competition between substitute players.


    Mole Camby¡¯s management welcomed Millwall, but their fans did not.


    In a smaller and simpler stadium than the Lion''s Cave Stadium, every time Millwall''s players touched the ball, boos sounded in the stands.


    Aldridge is more involved in directing this kind of game than leading the main force, and behind him, Villa, Joe Cole, Vicente and others sitting on the bench are all nervous, they are all looking forward to the Olympics. Derich can give them some opportunities.


    After the first half, Klose scored twice, Lampard made a long-range shot, Millwall led 3:0 away, and in the second half, Aldridge sent Villa, Vicente, Hua Jinsan People, directly reorganized the attack line.


    However, less than 5 minutes into the game, Villa defensively chased the opponent player in the penalty area and gave the opponent a penalty.


    After being pulled back by a penalty kick, Villa seemed to be out of balance. He wanted to make up for his mistakes through meritorious service. Not only did he waste his chances frequently, he also got a second yellow card in the 75th minute of the game and was sent off. .


    When he was off the court, Aldridge ignored him and let him go back to the locker room to calm down.


    Molcambi was dominant in numbers, and launched a fierce attack at the last moment. However, Vicente and Joaquin scored a goal each with a speed counterattack. Millwall played a 5:1 substitute lineup to win Molcambian and advance to the next round.


    After the game, Aldridge said in an interview in the player channel mixing area: "I know that there will be a lot of criticism from the outside world pointing to Villa tomorrow, but I just want to say that those are shit, he just commits I don¡¯t care. He is growing and improving. Isn¡¯t it possible to make mistakes? I am confident in him. He will learn from the lessons learned, and he will become better step by step in the future."


    When we returned to the locker room, everyone had simply changed their clothes after taking a shower, and got on the bus to return to London.


    Next, some players will go to the national team, and some young players will also be recruited by the lower echelon.


    The team won the ball, even if the red card came off, Villa''s mistakes will not be amplified, especially will not have a negative impact on the team.


    However, he was in a low mood and sat in the corner of the last row of the bus, looking out the window alone.


    Aldridge suddenly sat down beside him.

 Chapter 436： Anti-general

    When Aldridge sat down next to Villa, Villa turned his head and then quickly lowered his head, as if he looked like Jiang Dong''s father.


    "The team won, are you not happy?"


    Aldrich asked softly.


    Villa pursed her lips for a long while before whispering: "Sorry, I let you down today."


    "No, I think it''s fine now."


    Aldrich''s understatement answer filled Villa''s eyes with a puzzled expression.


    "David, it''s not that I don''t want to see a good Villa, but I want to see a Villa who can recognize myself without interference from the outside world."


    "Boss, I don''t understand."


    Villa felt that Aldridge''s words were very profound, and thinking about it would make him even more confused.


    Aldridge raised his right finger to the window and smiled, "This is the UK, the European News Center, and the world''s most popular place for news. Football is the most popular national sport in this country. As long as it touches football, there is nothing No hype. David, what was your mood before today? Um? Pride, publicity, and confidence, as written in the Fleet Street newspaper: Oh, Villa, Prince Billy, a fan of the fans Ya, he scored a goal against Manchester United in the first game of his career. Is there a better story to begin with? He will become Millwall¡¯s next generation Lion King, he is very talented, he is very talented, he is born to be a stadium The killer on the road, look at his running, look at his calmness when shooting, then look at his handsome appearance, he will definitely become a star, will surely become the dream lover of thousands of girls..."


    Aldrich''s exaggerated tone and arm movements made Villa look ashamed. The teammates in the front row heard their heads bowed and laughed.


    "Boss, that''s enough. Do you want me to see people without a face?"


    The blushing Villa had to stop Aldridge to go on.


    After Aldrich said this, Villa probably guessed the content of Aldrich''s conversation with him, and his mentality did not continue to deteriorate due to the red card being sent off. Instead, he laughed.


    "David, here, there are two kinds of people who can never believe it. The first is a politician and the second is a reporter. Even if they talk about you, they don¡¯t care about you at all, especially the media. , They want you better today, tomorrow tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, so that they can always use you as the news focus to support their families, I can make a bet with you, as long as you have Millwall tomorrow Most of the football news of the relationship will criticize your voice, ridicule your voice, and criticize you for being exhaustive."


    "Boss, I won''t bet with you, I believe what you said is true."


    "So, you can''t be fooled and disturbed by the media. If they think you can do it, do you still need training? Do you still need a coach to guide you? Also need the club staff to take care of you to train you? They don''t care about you , But we, everyone around you care about you, maybe my words will make you feel cruel and cold in your ears, but I just tell you the reality, let you recognize yourself, and then you decide, Are you living in a false confusion, or living in a cruel reality. You are still a long way, long, you have the potential to become a top star, but this requires your patience and hard work, perseverance, and rejection of external interference, step by step Going forward, you can become a star, a teammate''s trust, and a part of relying on."


    Villa looked at Aldridge nodded solemnly and said, "Boss, I understand, thank you."


    Aldridge smiled and said: "Okay, then let''s talk about the technical problems of you getting two fouls and eating red cards in the game. The first foul in our penalty zone is completely unnecessary. , You didn¡¯t calmly and carefully observe the position of your teammates, Metzelder stared at the opponent¡¯s receiving team, Barzali also blocked the opponent¡¯s shooting angle, Gattuso and Lampard had already blocked the opponent¡¯s continued activities. Route, but you frantically gave the opponent a penalty after the foul. The second time, your defensive action was almost rough..."


    Villa patiently listened to Aldridge''s analysis of his performance in the game, which is certainly not enough. He went back to watch the video, review and summarize the errors.


    Two days later, Aldridge flew to Switzerland to participate in the UEFA Champions League draw of the new season.


    In the lobby of the lottery, Odri? came early to find a seat and sat down. This year there were many more people and many strange faces, such as Lazio coach Eriksson and Valencia coach Cooper. , But there are many faces that used to be familiar, such as Barcelona coach Van Gaal and Kiev Dynamo coach Lobanovski.


    In the new season, the Champions League has expanded, and the number of participating teams has risen from 24 to 32. There are many new faces in the crowd, and it is reasonable.


    "Old friend, summer is your son, congratulations."


    Aldridge turned his head and looked familiar. He felt right when he heard that voice, AC Milan manager Galliani.


    The bald head smiles, and if it gets fatter, it is estimated that it can endorse Maitreya.


    He sat down next to Aldridge with a smile of complacency.


    AC Milan won the Serie A championship last season, and he contributed a lot, because all the transfer operations of the club are handled by one hand, which makes him quite exasperated.


    But man, it¡¯s easy to be punished for being too proud. In the summer, he basically has no operation. He wants to rely on the winning team to continue to create brilliance. In fact, AC Milan¡¯s competitiveness has dropped significantly compared with the previous year. Why? The players are old and can''t expect Bierhoff to be magical all the time. Shevchenko quickly became San Siro''s darling.


    "That, Ronaldinho..."


    "I recently lacked a defender. If Martini is willing to sell AC Milan, I can pay 30 million pounds."


    Mr. Ga just picked a word and mentioned Ronaldinho''s name, and Aldridge interrupted him with a smile.


    Cough.


    Galliani smiled after coughing twice: "You really love joking."


    "Oh, maybe."


    "Don''t you! Whom do you like the other players? It''s all right, not him."


    Galliani was so anxious now that his head was sweating.


    If Aldrich showed absolute sincerity to attack Maldini, Galliani could not guarantee that San Siro would remain the loyal minister.


    Loyalty, in Aldrich''s opinion, is often not doomed from one end to the other, but when he looks back at the end, he finds that he has become a loyalty because of the facts.


    Although Martini is 31 years old, he can still maintain a world-class level for at least 5 years. If Aldrich hits 30 million or more to impress AC Milan, AC Milan must at least consider two points. The first is the transfer fee income. Whether to make this money or not, the second is the age of Maldini.


    However, if such a loyal clerk is sold, the club will always need someone to act as a scapegoat. If the transaction can be established, Lao Bei collects money and Galliani blames the boss. This is a matter of course.


    So Galliani wanted to know with his buttocks, even if he helped AC Milan make money, he might get out or be threatened by the death of fans...


    Aldridge just bet against Galliani''s mouth, and Galliani became fine. Seeing Aldrich no longer talks about it, and knows that the other party is just scaring himself, the intention is that he does not want to do business. .


    He obediently followed and started talking about other topics.


    "Did I receive the gift I sent you a month ago?"


    "Well, on behalf of my child, I thank you for your care and blessings."


    "That''s good, there will be opportunities to bring them to San Siro to watch the game in the future."


    "There must be a chance, maybe Millwall and AC Milan met in the European War."


    "Well? That probability is still very low, very low..."


    Galliani hopes that AC Milan can win in the new season. Needless to say, the league champions, it is best to play a record that can satisfy the fans in the European war. Anyway, let the fans cheerfully look forward to the renaissance of the Milan dynasty. ?


    But if his mother met Millwall, Galliani thought it was blood mold!


    The two chatted casually, one after another, and each expressed their opinions.


    "The UEFA is pure nonsense, two rounds of group games, six more games than in previous years? Is it a **** league? Looking at it now, I thought I was making money. After two years of looking back, I know if it is Earn or lose."


    "But the expansion of the top 32 can guarantee our interests. For example, if Millwall won the league third in a certain year, he will definitely be able to participate in the Champions League."


    "I don''t deny that the expansion of the army can protect our interests, but that the schedule, the top 32 and the top 16 will play the knockout, just two more games than in previous years."


    "Uh, maybe what you said makes sense."


    Galliani didn''t take it for granted. It was more realistic to play in the Champions League and earn more tickets.


    In fact, after UEFA played the Champions League in this way, it directly caused the giants'' dominance of the league to plummet.


    Real Madrid won the Champions League in 2000 and 2002, fifth and third in the league, the points are significantly worse than before.


    Although Bayern had a double crown in the Champions League in 2001, the points in the league were only 1 point more than Schalke 04, which was 10 points less than the previous season. The more the team hit the back, the more the league Difficult to control, Leverkusen Sanya Wang said that he crashed, it is better to say that the thickness of the bench can not keep up, and finally fight to kill the thief and go back to heaven.


    Therefore, as long as Aldridge has a stable game in the league, he will try to let the main players rest. As the new season begins, everything seems to be moving in a good direction, but the first half of the league is to lay the foundation. The real decisive battle is almost the beginning of the New Year. It will start from the aspects of endurance, stability, lineup thickness, player status, locker room unity and so on.


    This year I didn¡¯t see Ang Fat, nor did I see AC Milan coach Zaccheroni. After Adrici and Galliani talked nothing, the lottery ceremony also began.


    Johansson is still those clich¨¦s. When the draw began, Aldridge clearly felt the surrounding atmosphere changed.


    Tension and dignity.


    Galliani also smiled.


    With this year''s expansion, there are a lot more small roles in the second-tier European leagues. For them, being able to draw a good draw means that they may be able to double or even share the profit of the Champions League, and naturally they will become nervous.


    Aldridge didn¡¯t care much about the result of the draw. Everyone touched everybody. Anyway, there were only a few strong enemies. He was really crowded in a small group. He was not afraid of it, and he was in line with his heart. In the second round of group stage and knockout, the schedule is relatively easy, which will benefit the second half of the season.


    Perhaps UEFA heard Audridge¡¯s voice, he thought so, UEFA certainly can not do what he wants!


    When the group draw was drawn, Aldridge''s hand was suddenly shot on the back, a bit painful.


    He turned his head and stared at him in a complicated manner.

 Chapter 437： There are dragons and tigers in my heart

    Aldridge had been distracted by him during the lottery. He lowered his head and took out his wallet to open it. Looking at the photo of himself holding his two sons, he was silly.


    After Galliani patted him, he realized that Galliani''s expression was strange, and then looked up at the big screen.


    A group looked down side by side.


    In fact, after the Champions League expanded to the top 32, the attention of this group group draw has declined year by year, because the strength difference is too large, and the top two teams can be steadily qualified. Generally, the strong and powerful are divided into grades, and basically there will be no death. Even if there is a group, a dead group will break through the sky, and most of the time, UEFA does not want to see the strong team out prematurely, and the group stage should be a good foundation for the Champions League.


    This year is also the same. Aldrich swept away at a glance. If the death group, Barcelona, ??Arsenal, Florence, AIK Sona is a group?


    Count?


    Arsenal are not considered the Champions League team?


    Florence is also a recruit.


    Further down, Valencia, Bayern Munich, Glasgow Rangers, Eindhoven, are they considered dead?


    Aldridge looked sullen, but when he saw the problem, what about Millwall?


    Not to mention, Millwall was assigned to the last group, Group H.


    The opponents in the same group are Hertha Berlin, Galatasaray, and AC Milan!


    What is this?


    Millwall European War first gear? AC Milan second gear? The latter two are casual.


    Aldrich understood the reason for Galliani''s strange expression this time. He turned his head and smiled at Galliani: "Sorry, my son will only be at full moon tomorrow. He shouldn''t be able to go to San Siro to watch the game."


    Galliani''s muscles twitched in his face, and his heart was roaring: I said a polite word! I don''t want to see you in San Siro in this life!


    He felt unlucky, thinking that Hodgson, who sat with Aldridge last season, also witnessed Inter Milan and Millwall split into the same group, and Galliani was in tears in his heart: Why am I sitting here!


    But thinking about it, the first two of the group can qualify, and unlike the Inter Milan team who got the best result last season, Millwall can work together with AC Milan to qualify. Last year their neighbors did not Did you happily go to the quarterfinals with Millwall?


    Galliani squeezed out a smile and reached out to Audridge: "Hehe, go hand in hand, go hand in hand."


    "Well, go hand in hand."


    Aldridge shook hands with him, with a smile on his face.


    In fact, the coaches of other strong teams all have similar expressions, and they don¡¯t like it or not. This year¡¯s group stage situation is much easier than in previous years. There are more points for children, and the group quota is also loose. Maybe everyone thinks more, or second Cycle group games, when the time comes, there will be no fish belly in the same group.


    Although FIFA match day is approaching, most of the players on the team went to the national team, but Aldridge really did not take a holiday to accompany his family due to private waste. He still maintained a professional attitude on this point. During this period, only when the whole team was on vacation, he ran to Liverpool to share the relationship with his children, and then returned to the club to focus on the reserve team in a few days.


    When the national team''s game day ended, people wondered whether Millwall would encounter FIFA virus, Millwall ushered in the newly promoted Waterford at home.


    Watford shocked everyone and scored a goal with Millwall in the first 2 minutes of the kick, making everyone think that Millwall really started to decline because of FIFA game day.


    But Aldridge was not nervous. At the end of the first half, Millwall not only equalized the score early, but also scored 3 goals, leading by 3-1.


    In the second half, the two main players still rested. The newly promoted Waterford was weak and the defense was sparse. The set of the bus was useless. Besides, it was already behind. The second half was a deadly blow. Finally, it was vigorously filled with 3 more. At the end of the game, Millwall defeated the newly promoted Waterford 6:1 and led the standings with 7 consecutive victories.


    After the game, Fleet Street commented on Watford''s performance when they commented on the game: They broke through Millwall''s gate, and they are proud to be nothing more than that.


    In the same round, Manchester United visited Anfield in the Derby of England, and beat Liverpool, the enemy of the Red Army, 3:2.


    The media across England are exclaiming: Who the **** is going to stop these two teams! ! ! ! Can anyone stand up!


    The new season is not as intensely stimulating as last season''s semi-final semifinals, and it has completely turned into a double-team meeting between Manchester United and Millwall.


    Millwall won 7 games, Manchester United 6 wins and 1 draw. The two undefeated teams not only arrogantly excelled, but also had unmatched offensive firepower.


    Manchester United''s frontcourt attack group, led by the Black Wind and Double Sha, continued the good momentum last season.


    Millwall is incredibly crazy for offensive football, and it is when the discerning people know that they only play 60 minutes to secure a victory!


    On the defensive end, Millwall only lost 1 goal after 7 rounds. Manchester United can''t compare with Millwall at this point. The back line is not only convincing for the goalkeeper, the elderly Elvin, the immature Sear West, are all hidden dangers.


    Aldridge was in a high mood after the seventh round of the league. During the training, players could feel obvious happiness and ease.


    Everyone knows that Aldridge really wants to play in the next round.


    Their opponent is Everton, Fleet Street speculates whether Everton can snipe Millwall, just as they tied Manchester United in the league opener.


    The unruly "Sun" used an unreasonable title to look forward to this game: Why doesn''t Liverpool have 19 Premier League teams?


    The outside world knows Aldridge''s schedule, Liverpool, London, away games.


    In the article, the young coach wrote: "If Liverpool have 19 Premier League teams and the Football Association allows double-loop leagues to allow Millwall to play away, Aldridge Hall will definitely raise his hands in favor. He may be in I also thought about it, just move Millwall to Liverpool!


    Of course, these are jokes written by the newspaper for readers to enjoy after tea and dinner, and Aldridge will laugh when he learns.


    In the middle of the week, Millwall ushered in the first match day of the Champions League. They defeated the visiting Hertha Berlin 4:1 in Wembley and made a good start for the new season.


    Everything is no different from what the outside world expects. Millwall, with his rich European experience in the past three years, is no stranger to the Champions League, both coaches and players, and can enter the state faster than many recruits. This is a good example. The German team visited Wembley. The players on the court were either nervous or over-excited. If it wasn¡¯t for Pirlo¡¯s 4:0 lead in the second half, his attention slipped and an assist came from Oolong. This game will be Millwall''s victory.


    Just after the first match day of the UEFA Champions League group stage, the Premier League sent shocking news.


    Newcastle United coach Gullit was fired by the club!


    Braid Shuai was unfavorable for the new season. He led the Magpies to a losing streak. After seven rounds, the Magpies ranked first in the Premier League. The club could not bear it, and finally let the Brave Shuttle finish class.


    Gullit, the world footballer who came to English football four years ago, bid farewell to England and embarked on the next journey. He took the teaching point here with the slogan of romantic football, but failed to fulfill his promise.


    Gullit is gone, but he didn''t come in vain. His contribution to the Premier League, especially to Chelsea, is inestimable.


    On the road of the Premier League''s resurgence in the European territory, Gullit joined the Premier League team, brought attention to the Premier League, and played a sentinel battle for the subsequent stars.


    Although he has played for Chelsea for a short period of time, he should be classified as a legend because he is an important person in the development of modern Chelsea clubs.


    If the modern history of Chelsea is divided into several stages, then Bates took over the club and started to build Chelsea Village is the first stage, Gullit joined Chelsea in 1995 is the starting point of the second stage, until now, in the future, the third stage of Chelsea At the moment of life and death, the appearance of a man who seemed to fall.


    The outside world will not ignore Gullit¡¯s contribution to the English Premier League and the English football. Therefore, even if Gullit is out of class, people are sighing, and several coaches like Aldridge have made positive positives for Gullit. evaluation of.


    At least Gullit has ideals, aspirations, fame, and self-identity. When he is an opponent in the same game, Aldridge and he can draw their swords. .


    Aldridge has won Gullit many times in the field of coaching, but he will not be used as a superiority because it is stupid, just like Gullit will not laugh at Odridge because he is a world footballer. It is a reason not to play football, not to make a political decision in its place, Gullit became a free cloud wild crane, Audridge sincerely sent a blessing, human nature.


    Just after Gullit left, Newcastle United officials immediately announced another heavy news.


    "Bobby Robson returns to English football and takes over the Newcastle United coaching position!"


    This news gave Newcastle United fans great encouragement, and at the same time, it made the entire English football game boiling.


    Bobby Robson, Aldridge had a head-to-head matchup with Barcelona, ??which he is in charge of.


    And the coach has been "traveling" for nearly ten years, and finally chose to return to his hometown.


    British fans are full of admiration for this coach. Bobby Robson can be described as highly respected. He has created the best World Cup record since the 66-year home win of the England national team. It has continued in the original history. Unfortunately, 90 years, His England semi-final lost to the final champion Germany, and even more tragically, four years ago, his England was eliminated by Maradona with an angel and a devil.


    The flaws are not hidden, the coach has been watching the scene for decades, and it is not the kind of iron-fisted coach, so it is popular. Plus that he was diagnosed with cancer seven years ago and has been fighting the disease, which is enough to inspire people. Therefore, the England football team The altar welcomes his return, and British fans also welcome his return!


    Before Aldridge attended the pre-match press conference, he received a phone call in the hallway, unexpectedly it was Bobby Robson.


    "Hi, Bobby, welcome back, wouldn''t it be Boaz who asked me?"


    "Oh, no, I just called my old friend to greet you. Vilas did a good job with you, I will not delay his future, but I invited Jose before I came back, I hope he can come to help me, etc. After two years I couldn¡¯t move and let him take over, but he seemed to have his own ideas and refused my invitation."


    "Mourinho? He has dragons and tigers in his heart. He has certain ideas, but he refuses you. I think it is his loss. He can learn a lot from you."


    "Maybe, now it is the world of your young people. I don''t know if he can challenge you in the future. Oh, you have surpassed many people now, and I can''t compare with you."


    "I hung up the phone, and you let me know where I am, hehe."


    "Well, greet Burt and Earl on my behalf."


    "Thank you."


    Aldridge was disappointed after hanging up.


    Mourinho, why don''t you promise Robson?


    I can''t wait to see you in the Premier League!

 Chapter 438： Unbeaten but 6 points

    Aldrich has spent more than five years in the green lakes and rivers. He has seen many Taishan Beidou-class characters. His various faces are like albums kept in the memory hall, but he can let him be respected and yearning from the heart. Bobby Robson was the first to bear the brunt.


    When he was young in Portugal, he had seen Robson''s training. In Ronaldo''s blockbuster season, he also paid attention to Robson''s performance in leading Barcelona.


    The coach is both a true gentleman and a full green adventurer. His profound football knowledge can turn the tide. Last season in the Netherlands, Eindhoven, who lost the five tigers, was eventually brought into the Champions League. The match is the best proof, and in the season of fighting with Capello, Barcelona has been performing magic and shock all the way from the crazy game of Atletico at the beginning of the season. The coach dare to take risks in the desperate situation. The reversal performance of almost 235 formations is even more classic.


    Aldridge led the team to beat Robson''s team, and it is the highly anticipated European Cup Winners Cup final, but this does not make Aldridge complacent or think that he is far better than Robson, on the contrary, there is a kind of style, he is Envious.


    There are not many iron fists and handsome coaches in the coaching circle. For example, Van Gaal, who is rendered as a tyrant by the media, is a typical example of success, while Robson is another extreme. It is the extreme that Audridge aspires to. Not an exaggeration.


    This is a realm. Some coaches can only use iron-blooded wrists under pressure, as if to make football full of the killing spirit of Jin Ge iron horses, while some coaches can laugh at the situation and make football cheerful and unrestrained. Passion.


    In the face of Robson''s return, Aldridge expressed great welcome in front of the media, thinking that the return of the coach can bring fresh elements to the English football and make the rivers and lakes more exciting, but Newcastle United''s strength is limited. Derich also admitted that Newcastle United would still not be able to become a top strong team in the short term. Joining the championship game, the clever women could not cook without a meter, Aldridge did not dare to claim to be the chef, but if Ferguson and Wenger were to coach Newcastle United Team, it is impossible for the team to suddenly burst into the table.


    In this intricate working environment where research, learning, hostility, etc. are interrelated, being able to have one more knowledgeable and experienced opponent is good for the Premier League, for the teams and coaches of the Premier League. One of the conditions for the progress of a league. If it is a group of people fighting together, can we expect an eagle soaring here?


    In the first two seasons, Everton escaped from the relegation zone at the end of the season. In the new season, they felt painstakingly renovated. It seemed like they had learned a lot. It was better to fight with the opponents instead of being tepid and calm and win the final flight. Die, watch again after 90 minutes.


    So this season they are not conservative whether they play strong teams or weak teams. They can cause trouble for the strong teams. For example, they have tied Manchester United at home. They have also nearly overturned Tottenham at White Hart Lane, but their strength is not as good as theirs. They often play heartily, such as 4:1 win Southampton, 4:0 win the newly promoted horse, away 2:0 win Xie Wednesday, of course this kind of lifeless play, encountering the kind of perennial defense is quite good. The team will also die miserably. It is a classic to lose to Aston Villa 0:3.


    Everton couldn''t care about that much anymore, at least they felt like playing, there was drama!


    After 7 rounds, he scored 10 points and ranked in the middle. Compared with the fact that in the past one and a half months of the past the league will struggle in the middle and lower reaches, this year''s start is quite good.


    In Goodison Park, Everton is still such a play, just look at their momentum, crazy!


    Facing Millwall, more than 5 troops were put into the attack, and a pack of wolves hunted.


    Perhaps the first 7 rounds were all dishonourable, Millwall really didn''t adapt to his opponent''s crazy posture, and two goals fell behind in the opening 15 minutes!


    Aldridge was angry on the sidelines. In the past month, the team has won consecutive games and won the game in 60 minutes. This made the players feel too comfortable and comfortable, and was suddenly shocked by the opponent¡¯s crazy momentum. , Directly dizzy.


    Millwall took the initiative to push forward as soon as he opened the game. According to past experience, the opponent¡¯s formation will retreat, compressing their forward space, but Everton does not play according to the routine, and the defense depends on the number of equals. A wave of offense didn''t make it, they turned around, they rushed forward, grabbed the ball and the response point by the number of people in the frontcourt, and then really played like a fast-breaking fast break score.


    Millwall reopened the ball, Everton simply did not retreat, the striker plus the midfielder directly pressed up and madly grabbed, Makelele passed the ball forward and was quickly hit with a wave of counterattacks. Within a minute, Mill Wall concedes two goals!


    Goodison Park Stadium seems to have entered Christmas in advance, and there is a smile of joy in the boiling.


    Aldridge really wanted to thank Everton.


    They can be regarded as their own way of doing things, but also played a high-pressure snatching tactics, but this kind of high-pressure snatching is not the whole team, but a partial, Millwall has not encountered before, all of a sudden I didn''t get used to violent rushing in the local area, but it was also very simple to break this kind of defense. As long as the ball was calm and the ball transfer was accelerated, a circle can avoid the opponent''s key rushing and quickly form an offensive advantage.


    But he is still angry, angry that the players are too light on the enemy!


    On the court, he showed a slightly lazy gesture, as if it were coming to slaughter pigs and slaughter dogs today.


    After losing two consecutive goals, Millwall''s players were completely irritated.


    I lost a ball in the first seven rounds, and I lost two in one minute today. What a shame!


    Everton led by two goals, and players began to diverge in their thinking.


    With two goals in hand, do you still fuck? But can you keep it?


    11 people couldn''t think of it together, forcing the decline in quality, and the attack and defense system was full of loopholes.


    After Millwall adjusted his mentality and paid great attention to his opponents, they accelerated the transfer of the ball, especially using a wide range of lateral transfers to consume the opponent and tear the opponent''s defensive formation.


    In the 19th minute of the first half, Millwall attacked and cut with a pendulum-style transfer. He first started from the right side Schneider, and after the transition between Pirlo and Nedved, it was divided into the left side. Ronaldinho shoved across the middle of the road, Henry took the ball from behind and passed the ball diagonally to the right. Larsen cut the ball into the far corner and succeeded.


    After scoring, Larson ran back with the ball in his hands. Millwall didn''t have a player to celebrate, and there was no joy in his face.


    For them, falling behind to Everton is unacceptable, absolutely unacceptable!


    Everton¡¯s players saw that the lead had turned into a ball again, this time the thinking was unified, attack, grab!


    They replayed their tricks, and after the kick-off, they swarmed up. Millwall was calmer this time. The offensive players did not rush forward and concentrated on the midfield and backcourt. Southgate firmly controlled the final defensive line. , Blocked the opponent''s pass, followed closely, Millwall came a wave of swoosh.


    Henry, Ronaldinho, and Larson were as if they had run off from the midfield. Nedved did not keep up. It was not because he ran slowly, but everyone rushed forward. There should always be something to do.


    Zambrotta drew the ball forward and passed the free Nedved forward. The latter touched the ball and directly made the ball to Pirlo. Pirlo stopped the ball and passed the spot. The ball flew diagonally. Off the left side of the opponent''s penalty area, Little Roller stopped the ball steadily, and then swept the door directly with a near volley. Henry threw away the opponent''s defender and chose to shoot with a foot arch pad.


    "What kind of game is this? Everton scored two goals in a minute to lead Millwall. Ten minutes later, Millwall also scored two goals in a minute to equalize the score! After Millwall scored Still not celebrating, Henry held the ball back and ran high with Nedved and Pirlo respectively to celebrate and put the ball on the center teeing point. What else did the game have to do with Everton? Is it defense or attack?"


    If it was before the start of the game, Everton players knew that the game had reached a 20-minute score or a draw, it must be very peaceful.


    However, they were equalized after a two-goal lead, and the score was still a draw, but the psychological gap appeared.


    Attack, continue to attack!


    When the first half of the game finished, Aldridge''s face finally looked better, the score is 2:4, the home team is in front.


    He returned to the locker room or criticized the team''s performance in the first ten minutes with a serious expression. He believed that it was one of Millwall''s current weaknesses. On the spot, the player''s mentality adjustment ability to cope with the game still needs to be improved.


    They are now used to dominating the scene, unable to withstand unexpected shocks.


    If they change to a strong team, they will naturally pay attention, but if the weak team plays the game in their unexpected way, especially when they disrupt the rhythm and plan of the game, there will be a moment of panic.


    The first half and the second half are completely different trends.


    The two teams played terribly in the first half, but in the second half, they were unsettled. Everton was beaten back from 2:0 to 2:4 at once. His heart was terrified, and he was afraid of losing more balls. Reluctantly, there was no way to play in the second half, Millwall had several opportunities to be unsure, Aldridge changed people, and at the same time began to actively slow down the game rhythm and consume opponents, but the opponents were not active in robbing, and they could not talk about it. On consumption, it has become a half-court drill for a tough position battle.


    Pedretti, who debuted at the last minute of the game, refracted a long shot and bounced into the goal, locking the score to 2:5.


    Millwall made an eight-game winning streak in the new season. In another game that ended at the same time, Manchester United unexpectedly broke the upset. The home team was tied by the newly promoted team. The new season still remained undefeated, but Millwall opened it. 4 points gap.


    A week later, Millwall continued to play away, taking Coventry 3:0, Manchester United was once again upset, and Southampton tied at home 3:3.


    The two teams that have remained undefeated in the new season have opened a gap of 6 points in the standings.


    "The Times" column reporter David Miller wrote: "This may be a repetition of the 96/97 season. Millwall rides the dust, and does not give competitors any chance from beginning to end! For fans who want the Premier League to be more exciting and intense, they may be disappointed. The suspense of the Premier League title may end before January, as long as Millwall starts from the match with Arsenal in the 10th round, while taking into account the Champions League. Can achieve a good record in the strong dialogue in the first half, then, the Premier League can declare the end early, perhaps the suspense left to us is: in the end, how good is this Millwall? Can they surpass themselves and have a better record than they won in 1997? How far can they go in the Champions League?

 Chapter 439： The actual combat parade begins

    All Premier League fans will focus their attention on October 2nd, at which time Millwall will usher in the first real strong enemy in the new season league: Arsenal in the same city.


    The top-ranked teams hope Arsenal can snipe Millwall, and their fans are naturally unable to do anything and ignore them.


    But before that, Aldridge will lead the team to play a third round of the League Cup.


    Millwall had a lot of luck, and he met Tranmere in the draw. He is also a low-level opponent, and Millwall still plays at home.


    Aldridge led the energetic youth army to the visiting Tranmere at the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium, Glen Charle scored twice, Klose staged a hat trick, and Millwall scored 5 goals for the fans present. Sent a goal feast, Metzel De Barzali''s center-back combination is still not very stable. After all, he was young and scored two goals by Tranmere. Millwall was considered to be advancing to the next round. .


    Before the tickets for the derby battle between Millwall and Arsenal were sold, there were already long queues outside the club''s ticket offices. Naturally, fans with season tickets need not worry, but because of the limited number of qualifications for applying for season tickets throughout the year, only For fans who can buy on a per-game basis, Millwall''s home game is an alternative torment for them.


    I want to enter the stadium to watch the ball, but one ticket is hard to come by. I am not afraid of queuing.


    Now, the fans of Mad Lions even have a more urgent desire not to win any championship, but to move quickly to the new stadium!


    The number of season ticket sales will also double at least next season. The original new stadium capacity was 55,000, but in the new season, the club found that the number of applicants has exceeded 50,000 when approving candidates for season tickets, so the club and Construction contractors communicated to expand the stadium capacity to 60,000, and the number of season ticket sales next season will fluctuate between 40,000 and 48,000, the rest will be reserved for ordinary single-ticket ticket sales and provided to the visiting team Club fans.


    The development of the club can have such a prosperous situation today, not only by the efforts of the club itself, the team''s record is only the basis, which can attract a large number of fans to watch the ball and consume their football. At the same time, the club attaches importance to the fan market and pays attention to the organization of fans. Communication is also one of the important factors in development. In England alone, there are more than ten large fan organizations recognized by Millwall, and the total number of fans exceeds 80,000. There are countless loyal consumers.


    Three hours after the tickets were sold, the Millwall Club closed the sales window and put on the sign: Sold out!


    A large number of fans are still very disappointed because they can''t buy tickets. They can only watch the game at home or in themed bars in the radiation community around the club.


    In the tenth round of the Premier League, Millwall and Arsenal''s derby in the same city was the finale. On the day before the game, there was another focus battle.


    Chelsea vs Manchester United.


    The result of the game was beyond everyone''s expectations.


    Manchester United, who remained undefeated with six wins and three draws in the first nine rounds, was completely beaten by Chelsea!


    5:0!


    The game completely entered the pace of the Chelsea massacre from the moment the first minute Poyet knocked on the Manchester City gate. Mr. Sutton scored his first goal of joining Chelsea (the only goal of the season), In the second half, it was Boyette and the next city. Manchester United center defender Borg helped Chelsea rewrite the score again. Manchester United¡¯s nightmare did not end. Another goal was lost in the final stage. 5 goals were washed by blood and hit 31. The biggest score loss in Manchester United''s confrontation with Chelsea in years!


    Chelsea''s massacre of Manchester United shocked England, and at the same time, both Millwall and Arsenal were snickering.


    At the beginning of the new season, Arsenal''s performance followed the top two. In the first nine rounds, they won 6 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. The two losses were lost to Manchester United and Liverpool. Although the points were only two points behind Manchester United and eight points behind Millwall, However, they feel a lot lower than last year, especially on the defensive end. Last season, they only lost 18 goals in the defense line. They lost 7 in the first 9 rounds of the new season. As long as they play against a slightly threatening team, their The line of defense will be in danger.


    In the afternoon of October 2, London began to drizzle.


    In the face of the wind and rain, the fans still came to the Lion''s Cave Stadium to watch the game, and the loud singing surrounds the stadium, which is really unstoppable.


    At the pre-match press conference, Aldridge did not comment on the game too much, only one sentence: competition, began.


    Millwall thanked the FA for the schedule. Although he did not encounter a strong enemy in the first nine rounds, he gave Audridge enough time to adjust the team''s status. It was found that the problem was solved in time and the team spent the holiday. The period of adaptation after returning is now when it is getting better. When it comes to Arsenal, huh, huh, and Arsenal, who is one year older on the back line, why not Manchester United? Aldridge also hopes to take the Champions League champion Manchester United to open the flag!


    Aldridge in suit and leather suit is walking in the player aisle with a smile. The game is about to start soon. He just stayed in the office for a while and made a phone call, because Burt had a cold. Fortunately, there is no harm. This made him happy.


    The players from both sides stood in the player tunnel and were ready to play. They were wearing long-sleeved jerseys today. Audrey walked past the middle of the two teams with one hand in the bag. Pires and Vieira in the Arsenal array nodded when they came over. Derridge returned with a smile. Arsenal was at the forefront with captain Adams. Behind Adams was a player of the same height. He was looking forward with his head on his face, and he seemed to be looking forward to the game.


    Suddenly he was tapped on the shoulder and a voice came in his ear: "Hi, Zlatan, let me see what you have today."


    He reacted and turned his head to look around. The person who patted his shoulder had walked out of the player''s channel and gave him a back view.


    "Who is that kid!"


    "Boy, you are the kid, be respectful! That''s our boss!"


    Southgate, standing in the forefront of Millwall, scolded the big tall with discontent.


    Adams raised his hand and said to Southgate: "Garez, don''t be nervous, he just said that, not without a lack of respect."


    Ibrahim looked out of the head, Aldridge was gone, he lifted his chest again, the belief in his heart was very firm: I will definitely let you see my ability today!


    Ibrahimovic is proud, and there is no contradiction between him and Aldridge. At best, he wants to prove that Aldridge made the wrong decision.


    Instead of inviting him to join the **** youth team, he should directly throw the team''s main forward jersey into his hands!


    Aldrich walked into the field and stood directly in the wind and rain. The fans on the sidelines would be very happy to see him, cheering and applauding. This has become the practice of the Lions Stadium. Aldrich also applauded to thank the fans Enthusiasm, then walked to Wenger and shook hands with each other.


    Wenger put on his coat, the rain was not heavy, and it didn''t matter if it rained a bit. The two held their hands and said a few words.


    "Before the game started, Hall and Wenger met the enemies of their friends outside the court again. A lot of things could be interpreted from their expressions, right? Andy."


    "At a glance, Hall is relaxed and full of energy. He feels that he will always be a fledgling newcomer. He likes challenges and likes to meet strong enemies. I hope that his stronger opponents will make him excited. I think it is this temperament and talent. Let his team break through the limit day by day, beyond the reason we think of becoming stronger and stronger. And Wenger, it feels very heavy, as if he has predicted that he will lose this game, maybe just one Worry and attention, but because of the Hall, you will have the illusion: Wenger is sitting next to a gambling table with all his net worth."


    "Hehehe, are you saying Wenger can''t afford to lose?"


    "It doesn''t matter whether you lose or not. Anyway, he has lost and won. The football game has no end. It''s just that he usually feels calm, winning, and confident, but in the hall with a confident smile. In front of you, you will subconsciously feel that Arsenal has no confidence, what kind of psychological reaction will the players see?


    "So what should he do?"


    "I don''t know, maybe expressionless expression like Ferguson might be better."


    "Haha, to be honest, Millwall has a lineup today and sent the strongest lineup to face this London derby. Arsenal''s starting lineup today has two changes in the starting lineup compared to when the Premier League closed against Millwall last season. .


    Goalkeeper: Seaman.


    Guards: Dixon, Keon, Adams, Silvinho.


    Midfielders: Ovimas, Petit, Vieira, Pires.


    Forwards: Bergkamp, ??Ibrahimovic.


    Brazilian Silvinho replaced Winterbourne, and Ibrahimovic also replaced Anelka who left in the summer. The Swedish guy performed well in the first nine rounds. Although he only scored two goals, he The role is still very obvious on the field, at least Arsenal position battle has a high point, and also has a fulcrum that can control the ball on the front line, Arsenal also have Kanu, Su Ke and other powerful cadres on the bench, but Wenger still Choosing to trust this Swedish guy, maybe he will be the next Anelka in the future. You know, Anelka made Arsenal earn 22 million pounds, which is really great value. "


    "Martin, don''t talk about super value here. Compared to Millwall''s rich transfer market in recent years, there is no club in Europe that can presuppose them."


    "Haha, I forgot about this. Maybe Millwall is too strong now, and I never worry about the main candidate because of the players sold."


    Aldrich stood on the sidelines and waited for the game to begin.


    It is raining today and the venue is wet and slippery, which may affect the player''s running, but the effect is the same. Both teams are playing ground pass teams, and there is no factor who has the advantage of the weather.


    When the game started, Millwall nearly knocked on Arsenal''s gate for the first attack.


    Perhaps Arsenal''s double central defender, 33-year-old Adams and Keon are not too obvious, but Dickson, 35-year-old Dixon, is the shortcoming of the back line defense!


    Millwall had no reason not to seize the opponent''s seven inches and hit the dead!


    Ronaldinho directly pulled the side after the opening, received a pass from Nedved without looking at the running position of his teammates, and took the ball to Tuxon, which Aldridge had told before the game.


    "Take all your skills to defeat Dixon!"


    Ronaldinho passed the opponent after shaking continuously in front of Dixon. The elderly Dixon had to defend only one side, so he chose to prevent inward cuts, but Ronaldinho took the ball from his side.


    Waiting for the bottom line and then going inside, Dixon caught up, Ronaldinho stopped again and pulled away from the ball, and passed the opponent twice within 10 seconds!


    Immediately after the angle was very small, the foot shot coldly, shocked Seaman with cold sweat, and blocked the ball with one hand from the bottom line.


    The fans in the stands gave Ronaldinho applause, and Ronaldinho ran slowly to take a corner kick.


    Wenger''s face was solemn, and playing against Millwall was like a full-scale combat parade. The team''s problems were immediately exposed.


    The other teams generally don¡¯t see the problem. Overmars directly suppressed the opponent on the same side. Did Dixon get blasted?


    Aldridge saw Ronaldinho missed the goal and bowed his waist a little bit regretfully. If he scored, how beautiful!

 Chapter 440： balance point

    At the beginning of the game, the rhythm is not fast. Both sides need to adapt to the slippery venue. To ensure the success rate of passing and receiving, some people seem to have played chicken blood today!


    Arsenal were pressed within ten minutes of the opening and could only retreat at halftime. Both Ovimas and Pire came back to participate in the defense. The most tragic thing was Ovimas. If he did not return, Dixon could not find North completely.


    In the 11th minute of the game, Arsenal made a big clearance in the backcourt, and Ibrahimovic grabbed the ball in front of the middle circle to stop the ball and then directly turned the ball. Makelele ran from behind to seal his forward route, Matera Qi himself was against Ibrahimovic, but Ibrahimovic retreated to get the ball. After turning around, Materazzi had a good tacit understanding with Makelele. He was the closest to Ibrahimovic and directly took the first course. The interception line, and forced Ibrahimovic to move to the other side if he wants to pass, will fall into the interception circle of Southgate and Makelele, Zambrotta has been staring at Bogkamp¡¯s Positioning, unless Arsenal are not in a hurry and slow down to reorganize the offense, now they are sure to resolve the opponent''s fast attack.


    Ibrahimovic chose to burst, although the technology under his feet has not yet reached a perfect level, but on the three-point acre of the Premier League, it can also be touched with delicate words.


    Materazzi was tragic.


    He dropped the shovel from a slightly oblique front and would definitely not foul. Ibrahimovic would hide. That would definitely be intercepted by Makelele. Ibrahimovic did not hide. Instead, he took the ball a step further and the result was the same. Makelele The ball was taken away halfway.


    Materazzi didn''t get up, the turf was wet and slippery, his usual shovel was slipped at the moment of his foot, and his thigh muscle was strained!


    Makelele kicked the ball out of the opponent''s half-court, and Millwall''s team doctor entered the field.


    Aldridge felt incredible covering his head on the sidelines.


    Male gobi.


    Does Ibrahimovic in the Taekwondo black belt have a lethality bonus?


    The dry frame is hurt, we have to serve, they are black belt masters.


    But Ibrahimovic took the ball a step. An ordinary shovel that basically shows no pressure can hurt Materazze himself. Is it a disadvantage for the years? It¡¯s still a bad character!


    Aldridge called Neil Neil and asked him to warm up.


    "Oh, Millwall is going to make a passive substitution. Materazzi was injured and left the field. It may be the reason for the venue. I don¡¯t know whether this substitution will have a fatal impact on Millwall. From a physical point of view, Matt It is absolutely no problem for Lacy to defend Ibrahimovic. Whether Neal can suppress Ibrahimovic''s play can only be observed from the game."


    Before changing to Neal, Aldrich hugged him and said to him: ¡°Don¡¯t struggle with one-on-one with him, observe the position of teammates more, and don¡¯t blindly grab your feet, as long as you don¡¯t get a breakthrough from him, freeze He is not difficult."


    Neil nodded frequently. In fact, Ibrahimovic was younger than him. In fact, he looked tall, had long legs and thin feet, and could not underestimate the opponent''s ability, nor could he ignore the opponent''s natural advantages. remind.


    In fact, Neil¡¯s replacement of Materazzi did not have much impact on Millwall, because on the scene, after both teams adapted to the rain battle, Millwall took advantage of the home game and played more obviously than Arsenal. Even better, plus the team''s strength is stronger than Arsenal, with the attack has been suppressing the opponent.


    Ronaldinho has ravaged Dickson three times and five times, one-on-one is very exciting, and can also be called a complete victory, but this partial victory has not helped the team knock on the door to victory.


    Aldrich gestured to Ronaldinho on the sidelines to stop him from undue brutality.


    Originally, in his expectation, Dickson was defeated, so the double center defender will tend to focus on the defense side of Dixon, and the defense on the other side will naturally be exposed.


    However, Ovimas retraced very deep today to help Dixon defend, which makes Ronaldinho''s play even if it is brilliant, but it has little effect.


    Millwall began to change positions, and the attacking pass cut off the center line and the trident''s dazzling running position was unpredictable.


    Ronaldinho made another fake move in front of Dixon. The other party looked back and shrank subconsciously. As a result, Ronaldinho gave the ball to Nedved. Nedved did not run to the penalty area with the ball, but instead Crossed with Ronaldinho and handed over the ball to Ronaldinho at the same time, Vieira was confused in this cross-transposition, just passing Ronaldinho, but the ball was changed to Ronaldinho''s feet behind Vieira.


    Larson and Henry also completed the transposition at the same time. Ronaldinho handed the ball to Henry who was completely unmarked on the right. Silvinho subconsciously went to Larson. After Henry ran over, there was a large empty space. After the ball, Henry took a direct shot.


    Seaman held the ball firmly this time, and then launched a counterattack!


    Wenger''s eyes suddenly burst into fierce light on the sidelines.


    good chance!


    Millwall''s offensive player has just completed the transposition, and now almost no one is in his own position. At this time, launching a counterattack, Millwall cannot build the first line of defense in the frontcourt in the first time. !


    But, in the next second, Wenger was shocked!


    That''s right, Nedved is on the left, Ronaldinho is in the midfield, Larson is at the center, and Henry is on the right. They are indeed not in the active area they were in when they started.


    However, when Arsenal started to counterattack, the four did not hesitate, fully entered the role and task they should undertake, and turned back straight to defend.


    Larson and Ronaldinho interfered with each other''s two midfielders Vieira and Petit. Henry and Nedved followed Ovimas and Piret. They did not have a sense of stagnation. The overall defense did not appear a trace. Panic.


    Arsenal''s counterattack came to an abrupt halt when Ovimas made the transition.


    Borgkamp was pre-judgmented by Pirlo before taking the ball, and intercepted the counterattack.


    Wenger is unbelievable. It is normal for defensive players to chase back and fight to make a defensive running straight line. The straight line is recent and very simple knowledge.


    But the most important thing is that each player needs to understand who is the opponent who is responsible for marking, where is the occupied area, and where is the effective position of the interception route. If two people stare at the same opponent and collide with the car, Then there will be leakages.


    Millwall''s thinking in the frontcourt offensive players was still so clear when he was counterattacked after completing the offensive transposition!


    Aldridge, what kind of perverted team did you teach!


    This already has the shadow of the glorious team once recorded in history!


    "Unbelievable, Andy, before that, Millwall was confronting opponents with a relatively large gap in strength. Today, they met Arsenal, and we saw their almost impeccable defense, which was impressive."


    "If you analyze from a tactical perspective, Millwall''s defense in the frontcourt is that 99.9% of the teams can''t achieve full attack and defense! Take Ronaldinho as an example. When attacking, he is on the left. It was the winger. He moved to the middle and replaced Nedved. He was the midfielder. At the same time, Nedved also entered the winger role. While defending, Ronaldinho should have been responsible for marking or assisting. Brota went to strengthen the defense on the left, but in the front waist position, he did not chase Ovimas, but went to defend Petit, who was the one Nedved should mark, In the same way, Nedved¡¯s defensive marking became Ovimas. The defense itself sounds theoretically very simple, but when multiple players appear in new positions in the new position Once a player failed to stay awake and stared at his opponent who was supposed to be marked, then he would find a clear gap when the opponent attacked. Millwall did an excellent job and they successfully restricted Arsenal Counterattack, Ovimas had Zambrotta in front and Nedved in the back. He did not choose to break through, nor did he want to turn the offense into a positional battle, so he could only pass the ball forward, and there was no point in the middle. Ella and Petit were marked by Larson and Ronaldinho in front of him. He chose to pass to Bergkamp, ??Pirlo steals, and Arsenal''s counterattack ended."


    "To do this, players need a very high tactical literacy and game reading ability. Millwall can limit the rapid counterattack of Arsenal to survive to such a point that the team that Hall tunes is terrible."


    "As Michels, the father of full attack and defense, said, to play the true power of full attack and defense requires at least 7 world-class players. For the time being, Hall did not pursue the ideal full attack and defense. , He only allows the top four players in the frontcourt to carry out such a tactical concept. The back line from Pirlo is not dare to move, and I think that this crazy tactic needs to be combined with reality, you can¡¯t ask for it. The team implements this concept. The defender and the forward are transposed. The forward can also complete the defensive task of the defender. This only exists in idealization. Hall is very realistic, so he is looking for a balance point. One can make the offensive power explode. The balance in the strength assessment is stronger, and the defense has become more stable. Perhaps now, he has found this balance."


    In the cold wind and rain, drops of water fell on Wenger''s face, and it was not known whether it was cold sweat or rain.


    The situation on the court suffocated him.


    Arsenal''s invincible quick counterattack in the Premier League, three consecutive times, were perfectly restricted by Millwall in the midfield!


    He also saw that Millwall''s high-pressure forced tactics, the most critical defensive area is the midfielder, once the midfielder is penetrated, followed by Pingchuan!


    Arsenal had a fast horse, but Ovimas was pulled back deeper because of the sideline attack. The starting position when countering was too late, it was impossible to hit the speed.


    Going forward, Bogkamp, ??Ibrahimovic, Pires, can not say that there is no speed, but there is no speed advantage!


    Arsenal players also felt great pressure on the court, so they accelerated their pace in the counterattack. The players sprinted forward faster and the ball was faster. They tried to quickly penetrate Millwall''s defense through the midfield.


    But on the football field, the blind pursuit of speed is often accompanied by another problem: mistakes!


    Pire took the ball on the left and waited for Schneider to **** it. He wanted to pass the ball to Ibrahimovic. The ball was not in position and was intercepted directly by Neal. He jumped the ball and pushed the ball forward. field.


    Vieira ran too fast, and Pirlo didn''t run as fast as Vieira, but he got the ball as soon as he turned around and ran forward, then split the ball and went to the right. Behind Piret, now Ronaldinho is over there.


    Ronaldinho directly played with Nedved and played a two-on-one match, throwing off Petit''s defense, and then facing the fellow Silvinho directly faked the ball through the opponent to take the ball to the bottom and put Arsenal whole. The line of defense was brought to the bottom line, and he kicked it again.


    The ball leaped over the heads of the Arsenal defenders, and also over the heads of Henry and Nedved.


    How did this ball pass?


    How to fly outside the restricted area from Arsenal''s bottom line?


    Near the top corner of the restricted area on the left side, Larson stood with his feet up and lifted his right foot to meet the falling ball and volleyed!


    "Larson volleyed outside the penalty area! The goal was scored! Larson, Larson, Larson! Millwall''s super shooter pulled Larson!"


    The ball that was vigorously shot by the foot without any rotation, as if the electric light flashed, it penetrated into the upper left corner of the Arsenal goal, and Seaman''s pattern remained motionless.

 Chapter 441： Look at heaven

    When Larson volleyed the ball into the goal, the arc of the four-footed shot kicked the audience and the audience felt a visual impact and shocked everyone''s eyes!


    After witnessing this goal, Aldridge first put his hands on his head and looked surprised and pleased, then his hands were stretched out to the sky, and his open mouth could not say a word.


    It was like Zidane''s flying fairy outside of the sky, aside from the importance of the event and the environment, in the drizzle, witnessing such a goal, Aldridge was too excited to express.


    Larson rushed to the side of the court to kneel, his legs gliding along the turf for a long distance, a wild and confident smile on his face, and behind him, teammates kept coming to him, and they all used the kneeling movement. .


    This goal made the audience forget the rain, and forgotten the fear of strong dialogue, completely immersed in celebration.


    Wenger was expressionless, but the whole heart seemed to have been falling in the bottomless hole, not falling to the end, making him helpless and having to suppress the panic.


    Larson''s goal, afterwards, there must be countless people who say it was an accident.


    Indeed, giving him ten more chances, he may not be able to score the same effect.


    However, people will not be surprised by Millwall''s goal in this way, believing that this is due to luck.


    Even if the relegation team of the Premier League, there will always be so many wonderful goals that will be elated after a season, but this kind of goal is often not caused by a chance derived from a familiar offensive routine. Most of them All belong to the kind of "world wave" without warning.


    For this kind of goal, even Millwall will always be scored by opponents every year, and Aldridge will not criticize the team¡¯s defense when summing up after the game. This is inevitable. Football The chance factors on the field are too large, and no one can fully control the uncertain factors.


    But Millwall¡¯s offensive system is mature and the tactical thinking is clear. They can score many wonderful goals. The goal opportunities created are familiar to the audience. The difference is only how to score. Larsen volleys. Or stop the ball first and adjust it with a normal push. The head coach often thinks more about the process of creating opportunities. How to seize the opportunities is just a question of the player''s individual ability.


    So Wenger didn''t want to admit it, but he had to face this reality: Millwall''s ability to create opportunities is terrifying!


    On the basis of the player''s ability, when the perfect balance of the team''s consciousness and individual ability is reached, their offense is on the surface of the mercury, which is actually threatening frequently. Arsenal defend once, twice, three times, if only simply Defense may also limit Millwall, but once they can''t keep up with Millwall''s speed in the offensive and defensive rhythm, they have a very high chance of being penetrated when the offense and defense are converted.


    This was perhaps the most difficult time for Wenger since he joined Arsenal. He couldn''t figure out how to control Millwall today.


    One way is the easiest and most effective, that is, long pass rushing, not entangled with Millwall in the midfield, attack directly behind the opponent, as long as the striker runs fast, the pass is accurate, simple and rough can be overcome Millwall''s defense, but in fact, this requires Arsenal to have world-class forwards and passers. The pass is not allowed, and the point cannot be grabbed. The long pass is just a relief to give the ball to the opponent.


    Precisely, this type of forward or midfielder, Arsenal did not.


    Wenger and Aldridge are like the same kind of people, tactical skywalkers, stubborn, and unswervingly realize their football ideals, so these people will refuse to bow to reality, even in the battle of trapped beasts In a bad situation, too, Wenger, it is impossible for the team to abandon the original style. Even if he can see that Ovimas and Pires can hardly exert any side counterattack power, Wenger still will not Change, a kind of persistence, like dignity, can never be abandoned.


    And Aldridge, the Aldridge who directs the game on the sidelines, is really not recognized by the six parents!


    At this moment, his mind was running fast, Arsenal''s score fell behind, Millwall continued to insist on the original style of play will certainly maintain the advantage, but this is not enough, far from enough!


    Arsenal will not let mermaids, when the butcher knife is on their necks, they will resist, and will be deadly, even if their hands and feet are cut off, they will open their mouths like a beast using their teeth to fight back.


    What changes will they make?


    When the outside world talked about France winning the first World Cup, Yakai reduced the classic tactical evolution of the striker and strengthened the midfield, Wenger''s Arsenal won the Premier League championship, what is the strength of the front waist?


    Counterattack!


    That side road storm that is regarded as gorgeous by the outside world is as beautiful as poetry!


    Ha ha ha, Pires, Ovimas.


    Aldridge raised his lips and meditation: Pires in his left hand and Ovimas in his right hand.


    He extended his hands flat and closed his eyes, as if entering the ethereal realm, making his senses more sensitive.


    A raindrop first fell on the back of his right hand. He opened his eyes and smiled more.


    Then bet Ovimas!


    Aldrich gestured to the players on the sidelines and pointed at Ronaldinho.


    Ronaldinho was slightly puzzled when he understood Aldrich''s gesture.


    Wasn¡¯t he not understanding Aldridge¡¯s tactical adjustment instructions, but rather confused: Ye changed back?


    When the game restarted, Arsenal took the initiative to speed up the offense, but as in the previous case, the faster, the more anxious they are, the more bottomless they are, and at the same time, the more likely they are to make mistakes!


    Aldrich paid special attention to the position of Ovimas. Unsurprisingly, Ovimas really weakened Dexon''s defensive support.


    This is not God''s will.


    Because Pires also weakened the support for Silvinho, Arsenal wanted to attack, except for the side attack, they did not do anything at all. Vieira and Petit were both offensive and defensive, but they were never a breakthrough in the middle. They It''s just a series of connecting points for excessive attacking midway.


    Aldridge just made a choice, whether to press Pires or Ovimas, God helped him make a decision.


    Since then, Millwall has focused on attacking Dixon, not only by Ronaldinho alone, Nedved, Henry also used to support, which forced Arsenal''s midfielder and defender to focus on that side.


    Arsenal''s formation and offensive and defensive system were completely disrupted. The defense on the right was dangerously threatened and forced by high pressure. When the defense was successful, he could only make a big foot and save the ball to Millwall.


    Petit made another save, but the ball didn''t kick far. Makelele rushed in front of Bergkamp to kick the ball back to the frontcourt. Nedvide retreated and kicked the ball to Ronaldinho.


    Five seconds ago, Arsenal had just completed a defense on this side. The midfielder and defender were all concentrated on this side. The formation had just spread out. Suddenly saw Ronaldinho taking the ball again here and subconsciously rushed over to defend again. But this time Ronaldinho did not stand out. He looked up and observed a half-height cross from the spot.


    Pirlo, who was inserted in the middle, took the ball in a large free area in the penalty area and pretended to take a long shot, forcing Adams to rush to block him, but he faked a true pass and kicked the ball behind Adams.


    Larson shot out laterally, without giving Silvino any chance, and took a step after touching the ball and chose to push.


    This is not as shocking as the volley volley when he first scored the goal. The ball pushed out drew a straight line against the turf and rolled towards the corner of the goal. Seaman fell on the ground and his fingertip just touched At the ball, the ball refracted slightly and then hit the inside of the goal post, still rolling into the goal.


    This goal scored four or two pounds, and he completely defeated the goalkeeper with a tricky shooting angle, which made Seaman unwilling, but helpless.


    "Larsen scored twice! Millwall scored another goal at the end of the first half and Arsenal couldn''t resist the opponent''s tidal attack!"


    "Millwall can continue to attack in the face of Arsenal, creating huge pressure on his opponents. Petit''s goal may be due to rain, or it may be really a rush between the decline. Who knows, but Millwall The player¡¯s calmness when handling the ball is admirable, Ronaldinho crosses the middle, Pirlo assists Larson, this is the performance of the top players!"


    When the first half ended, Wenger''s face looked slightly pale. He took the lead in the player channel. It seems that he might be too short for this halftime break.


    Arsenal fell behind by two goals at halftime. At the beginning of the second half, Wenger saw the position of Millwall players and suddenly glanced at Aldridge standing on the sidelines with surprise.


    Is Millwall going to guard?


    The situation on the field looked like Millwall had withdrawn about 15 yards in the key defensive area, which can be seen from the position of the defender line. At the same time, he did not panic when attacking. momentum.


    Is two-ball insurance?


    At least from the scene of the first half, Arsenal has no chance.


    Plus three days later Millwall is going to play in the Champions League away game, and it seems logical that they started to stay behind.


    Arsenal also have to play in the Champions League, but they are playing at home. At the same time, their players cannot think about the Champions League game in a few days!


    Although this is just a London derby, it is not as full of hatred as their rival rival Tottenham. But with Arsenal winning the previous season, Millwall has won twice in the past three seasons. The two are direct competitors. The attention, importance, and gold content of the derby in the same city can not directly affect the competition situation of the league. It is a straight-line upward trend.


    As a result, Arsenal¡¯s players could not accept the defeat. Last season¡¯s final game was finally killed here. Now, they have been beaten without a fight. It seems that Millwall is getting stronger and Arsenal are getting weaker. They It is impossible to send such a signal to the outside world, and it must not, this has a great impact on morale!


    There is no need for Wenger to give any instructions on the sidelines, Arsenal''s players start to fight, start to grab, and start to press forward in formation!


    if not?


    Did Ibrahim, Bogkamp, ??Pires and Ovimas turn things around?


    Relying on them alone, Millwall''s midfield defensive line cannot be broken, and even the goalkeeper''s face is invisible!


    The double backs come up to respond, and the full-backs must also come up to exert pressure. This is not to play the weak team. It can create opportunities by playing less and playing more. Against Millwall, at least the number of offenses cannot be different by 2 or more!


    Millwall played tepidly. Whenever the defense succeeded and the ball reached Pirlo''s feet, Arsenal''s players immediately ran to the backcourt to set up a defensive position, fearing that Millwall would fight back quickly.


    However, when they returned to their position and looked at it again, Millwall''s offense chose to play steadily, and Pirlo was not in a hurry to control the ball.


    After three consecutive offensive and defensive transitions, Pirlo failed to threaten the ball or increase the strength of the forward pass. Arsenal¡¯s players did not withdraw deeper when they returned to the defense. They chose to fight back directly on the spot, but their thinking was unable to unify. Some players are back in position, some players are intercepting.


    In the 63rd minute of the game, Aldridge suddenly said to himself: "It''s time."

 Chapter 442： Same score

    Many years ago, when the young Pirlo watched the Super Bowl live in the United States, Aldridge explained to him the significance and advantages of the delayed organization, and the importance of hiding the offensive point in the game.


    At that time, he could not fully understand Aldridge''s words, but as time passed, his game experience increased, and in actual combat, he began to understand Aldridge''s original intention to shape him.


    From the second half of last season, he originally thought that he was good enough before, but then until the formation of Millwall''s new generation of attack groups, he only knew that he could really dominate the game.


    He acts as a postponement organization and is not afraid of being targeted by opponents. That is because of his position on the field. At least four teammates with huge threats in front of him cover him. In the list of objects that the opponent wants to focus on, he can never be In the first place, even if there are opponents who try to freeze him with one or two players, he can in turn cover his former teammates.


    Now, he looks at the six ways on the court and sits in command. His every move will directly affect the team''s offense.


    Seeing the Arsenal players running back and forth in a hurry, fearing his shot, Pirlo said that he was unintentional that it was false, and when he did not pass the threat, the Arsenal player suddenly relaxed and Pirlo wanted to laugh, Smugly.


    You guys, really cheat!


    Arsenal played another strong attack, the attack ended in the connection between Bergkamp and Ibrahimovic, Ibrahimovic header ferry to Bergkamp, ??passed Neil, never passed Southgate, Millwall passed Passing both feet, the ball came to Pirlo''s feet.


    Ovimas ran directly towards Pirlo, Petit also rushed towards Pirlo, and Vieira retreated to find Nedved.


    Three meters, two meters, one meter, just when Petit was about to catch Pirlo from the diagonal side, Pirlo made a straight pass and passed the ball forward.


    At that time, Nedvide was running diagonally, Vieira had just moved, closely following the former teammate, and for a few years he was also an old rival Czech, but he watched Ronaldinho pass by him. , With Nedved completed a transposition, received Pirlo''s pass in the middle.


    Millwall''s counterattack suddenly accelerated.


    Ronaldinho brought the ball forward to face Arsenal''s back line. When Keon came to the front of the penalty area, Adams consciously assisted in defending Larsen internally. Ronaldinho decisively handed the ball to the lateral running position to pull out the empty Henry.


    Henry took the ball, turned around, Dixon assisted, Vieira could only come to grab him, but Henry did not give them a chance to get close, a short pass in front of the spot, the moment Nedved passed from Pirlo The starting trajectory is more like running a semi-circular arc, going from the middle to the left. After half a circle, he cut into the penalty area and Vieira gave up chasing Nedved at the moment Henry got the ball. He wanted to come, when he went to rob Henry, Dixon should defend Nedved.


    35-year-old Dixon chased Nedved?


    Nedvide, who scored the ball in the penalty area, took a step horizontally and chose to kick the ball. The ball penetrated the Arsenal door again without suspense.


    Keon, Dixon and other players raised their hands to indicate that Nedvide was offside, but the lineman did not respond. The referee''s finger was in the middle, indicating that the goal was valid.


    "3:0, 3:0! Millwall leads Arsenal 3:0, the goal is Nedved, his running position is really beautiful, this goal should have killed the suspense of the game, Millwall They will have a ten-match winning streak. If you count two more League Cups, a Champions League and a charity shield, they will win all official games in the new season!"


    Aldridge smiled and turned to the bench after seeing the goal, called Glenshire and Klose, and picked up a tactical book, let the two warm up, he wrote in the tactical book himself Write pictures, circle out the two people''s areas of activity during the offense, the main main responsibilities they are responsible for, key positions during defense, etc.


    He turned his back to the court and knew what would happen on the court without looking at him.


    Although Arsenal have the ambition to equalize, they now need a goal to save their face.


    Losing to Manchester United, they just lost 2:1. If they lost Millwall to 3:0, they really have no face and no confidence to compete for the championship. The first ten rounds directly lost to two competitors. , Fight? What fight? Do you expect Manchester United and Millwall to continue to lose to the weak team in the gutter dump?


    After Klose and Glenchard warmed up, Aldridge called them to the side and arranged tasks for them on the field. After both of them understood, Millwall began to substitute.


    "The mad Lion fans stood up and applauded Larson and Henry. Today they performed awesome. Larson has goals and Henry has assists. They are one of the guarantees of Millwall''s victory."


    Aldrich''s substitution is an instruction. No need for him to say more, players on the court will understand that there will be adjustments in tactics.


    They can''t play like they did in the previous 70 minutes.


    The phenomenon of crazy offensive players changing positions will not happen again.


    If the attack group of this generation excludes Pirlo, the remaining four players, the power of the outbreak is geometrically increased, but if one is removed, and still play according to that routine, the power will definitely be greatly reduced.


    Klose was fixed at the center position, and Glenshare was also fixed at the right side. Millwall is now starting to play 4231, which is really a defensive counterattack.


    Aldrich should indeed be preparing for a visit to Turkey three days later.


    Lion fans on the stands of Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium sang cheerful songs on their shoulders to celebrate, but the Gunners fans who came to see the game away have already begun to retire.


    Arsenal¡¯s players still did not give up on the court, Ibrahimovic and Bergkamp continued to run actively, but the ball just couldn¡¯t pass under their feet, and running back and forth uselessly made them more and more frustrated. Arsenal kept pushing forward to try to score Instead, the fight was in the midst of Millwall.


    Defensive counterattack, defensive counterattack, first defense and then counterattack!


    Silvinho''s long pass was topped by Neal to Schneider on the wing. The latter also directly took a big pass to find Klose in the frontcourt. Klose did not turn around after stopping the ball in the chest. , Directly knocked to the side of the Glenshire, the energy-filled Danes began a long-distance raid, dribbling all the way from the position just past the center line to kill.


    In the face of Silvinho''s defense is not strong, pass the ball to the middle, Nedved then transferred to Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho took the ball inside and crossed the top pass to hang the ball diagonally into the penalty area. Klose followed the header before the later point, and the ball was saved by Seaman. Keon hurried to make a clearance, but the ball kicked on Nedvide and rebounded towards the goal. Seaman fell Watching the ball roll back on the ground, and rolling towards the other end of the door, he was already powerless to save. Dixon chased the goal line and tried to sweep the ball out, but it was still too late, watching the ball roll into the goal within.


    "4:0! Millwall''s goal is not over yet, not yet! Oh my God, Arsenal have completely collapsed, Keeong''s free kick hit Nedvide and then hit the goal again, Millwall is powerful The offensive firepower and the mastery of the overall rhythm allow Arsenal to chaos in the suffocation!"


    Wenger lowered his head to cover his forehead on the sidelines.


    In fact, the score of 3:0 is not necessarily a big disaster, but this process has made Arsenal feel great pressure. If it is realistic, it is more appropriate to use despair.


    To say that Millwall¡¯s defense is really not the top of Europe, but because of fear of their offense, forcing opponents to have to weaken the offense, and once the risk of full attack, unable to score goals, Millwall then penetrated the defense line No matter from the player''s mental state or the morale of the whole team, it will form a huge blow.


    It is precisely this gap on the field that makes Arsenal players feel unprecedented despair.


    Aldridge has sat down, watching the rest of the game calmly.


    At the end of the game, Millwall scored another goal through a corner kick. Klose scored, but he had not scored with a header. The first drop of the ball in the penalty area was not captured by anyone!


    This is a taboo for the defensive corner kick to set the ball before the penalty area. The ball landed. Arsenal seemed to have signs of collapse. Even the corner kick defense had a loophole. Klose shot the ball after the ball bounced.


    When the whole game ended, the Lion Cave Stadium burst into cheers.


    "5:0, who would have thought that Millwall had washed Arsenal 5:0 in the same city derby? This score is the same as yesterday''s Chelsea blood washed Manchester United, but for the situation of the entire Premier League, the meaning is very different, three A few weeks ago, Manchester United followed behind Millwall, and the gap between the two teams was only 2 points. After three rounds, just entering October, Millwall ushered in the league¡¯s ten-game winning streak, and Manchester United has fallen behind after three rounds. Millwall has as many as 9 points, and there are 28 rounds in the league. However, the gap of 1 point between the championship teams is very far away. We don¡¯t want the suspense of the Premier League championship to end prematurely, but we must admit that it is Milwaukee. The power of Seoul has led to this situation. They have told all the Premier League competitors with ten straight wins and want to **** the championship from them. Then you need to improve and you need to work harder. I don¡¯t want my Christmas this year. The wish would be to see the Premier League have a title fight in May, but Hall¡¯s team seemed to force me to make such a wish at Christmas, congratulations to Millwall, a ten-game winning streak away from the league they once created With eighteen consecutive victories, there is still a long way to go in the five European leagues, but we have reason to believe that they may be able to create a better record. Obviously, they are stronger than they were then."


    The game was over, the rain stopped, the sky cleared, and the sunlight near dusk shot into the stadium. The undispersed raindrops gleamed with a faint glow. Aldrich looked up at the sky, then turned his head and looked back at the visiting coach, Wen. Ge has long disappeared, it seems that the two handshake after the game is impossible.


    He stood up, hugged with Klinsmann, Jenson, Boas and other coaching assistants, ears haunted the cheers of the fans in the stands, he walked onto the court, hugged each player, before leaving, The players walked around the field hand in hand for a week to express their gratitude to the fans who did not want to leave and enjoy the moment.


    Aldridge walked into the player''s channel with one hand in his pocket, his expression naturally accepted the post-match interview with a faint smile.


    In fact, the reason for Arsenal''s defeat is not complicated, that is, the back defense is aging. It can''t withstand the full impact of Millwall''s world-class forward. From the midfield line to the forward line, you must support the defense, but Arsenal must attack. The speed between offense and defense can''t keep up, it is reasonable to be beaten.


    However, in the face of the camera, Aldridge couldn¡¯t help but say that Dickson was old and Silvinho¡¯s newcomers hadn¡¯t integrated the team¡¯s comments, which would make him look slapstick.


    So he just said that Millwall played better at home, Arsenal failed to adapt to the comments like the rain battle, the player''s personal performance, he also responded with diplomatic rhetoric, unwilling to talk deeply.

 Chapter 443： Whose hell?

    Istanbul, Turkey.


    Once the capital of Constantinople, the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the Latin Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and now the capital of Turkey, this political center that once ruled Europe was full of complexity and conflict, economy, culture, religion, It is conceivable that a city located on the dividing line between Europe and Asia will not simply be like a clear sky.


    As the sky turns, the curtain of daylight is replaced by dark light and shadow. On the way to the Ali Samian Stadium, home of the Galatasaray Club, the closer the Millwall bus approaches the stadium, the ¡°welcomers¡± on both sides of the road more.


    Aldrich didn''t have time to enjoy the alternative scenery of the city, but he evoked the memories of many years in the banging sound.


    On the street outside the Galatasaray club, fans wearing red and yellow jerseys bravely held up banners, and some even held torches, set off fireworks, and were barely carried by the crowd, screaming wildly at Millwall''s bus Tao: "Welcome to hell!"


    Henry glanced at the car window to see the outside scene, just didn''t know which fan flew a small stone towards him, slammed it against the car window in front of him, terrified that he lowered his head like a reflex, attracting Fans outside laughed rashly.


    Not only did the fans laugh outside, Larson, who was sitting next to Henry, saw Henry''s head shrink and laughed.


    Henry felt terrified. Although he knew that there was a window obstruction and wasn''t worried about being hit, he suddenly saw a UFO flying from far to near. Who is not afraid?


    He turned his head to find Larson laughing at himself, then said in fear: "The people outside are like a group of devil, the stadium security will not be a problem?"


    After playing in the United Kingdom for more than a year, Henry also learned about the Turkish football atmosphere from the British media reports.


    It''s nice to say that it is fanatic, but in the British media, it is the chaos of criticism.


    The crows in the world are generally black, and the British media are also short-sighted. A few years ago, Manchester United visited Turkey. At that time, both inside and outside the court caused a large-scale riot. Denying this, the British media investigation found that in fact, the Turkish government¡¯s mismanagement made the situation worse, but when the British fans walked out of the UK, they were treated as football hooligans, killing a group of people, so these years, ordinary There are Premier League teams visiting Turkey. From the media to the club, they will focus on security. Everyone does not want to see the riots. It will be the sadness of football.


    Larson closed the books he was reading along the way and turned his head to smile at Henry: "If you came to the team earlier, you would not be touched by the current situation, see, Pavel, Gareth, Bernd, They are as calm as me."


    Henry asked curiously: "Earlier? Millwall hadn''t been to Turkey before?"


    "Well, for the first time, but we used to have an opponent. Their fans are not like the Turkish fans outside. They really hate us. You haven¡¯t experienced the East London Derby. I think it¡¯s your regret. Let¡¯s see if we have a chance in the future, and I don¡¯t know if West Ham have relegated in the Premier League."


    West Ham United?


    Henry thought about it. Speaking of which, when he joined Millwall, he really had a detailed understanding of Millwall''s history at the stage of rehabilitation.


    In Millwall¡¯s official diplomatic relations, only Manchester United is a competitor to leave London. In London, Arsenal is a competitor. Tottenham all belong to a role that is safe and not in a level contest. The most important thing is that the team¡¯s rivals, As a Millwall player, you must understand who the club¡¯s worst enemy is. West Ham United bears the brunt, followed by Crystal Palace. Now, the second-ranked player should become Chelsea.


    Coincidentally, Aldridge was thinking about West Ham United in the front row.


    To get to the competition venue, a police car is needed to escort, a policeman escort, and the bus is besieged by fans like monsters.


    "Babu, does your head still hurt?"


    Aldridge suddenly raised his head and asked loudly, the whole car was stunned.


    Babu sat in the seat behind him and asked inexplicably, "Why does it hurt?"


    "West Ham United, East London Derby."


    "Grass! Sure enough it started to hurt again!"


    Babu involuntarily touched the back of the head, knowing that the players and coaches in this segment were all laughing.


    In the popular East London Derby, Babu was hit by a hostile fan with a metal lighter in the back of the head, and was escorted to the hospital on the spot. The fan was not only sentenced to be banned from entering the stadium for life, he even sat for half a year because of intentional injury. Jail, that''s not a joke, an accident could kill someone!


    "Oh, how is West Ham United?"


    Aldridge turned to look at Jenson.


    Jenson looked weird and said: "In the first season after relegation, they sold a lot of people and reduced the salary pressure of the team. Lao Lei failed to lead the team to the Premier League in the first season of the League One and was fired by the club. Then, the team was in a mess last season and almost fell to the second division. This season, it seems that Glen Rodell of the youth team took over the team and stabilized the situation again. Why? Do you miss them?"


    Aldridge chuckled and said: "I don''t feel much, but recently when I visited the club''s official website forum, I found an interesting picture, 13% of the fans actually hope to see West Ham return to the Premier League next season, hehehe ."


    "Haha, there was actually such a sign last year. They hope that we will meet West Ham United in the draw and let the East London Derby reignite the battle again."


    Aldrich spread his palms and shook his head and smiled. He had to say that the fan''s psychology is actually very easy to understand. The enemy, no matter how good the opponent is, trying to step the opponent into the abyss is the most wanted scene. West Ham United Fans must also hope to meet Millwall in the cup match. This mentality is the same as when Millwall was in the lower league and West Ham was in the top league. Millwall also hoped to be able to compete with West Ham in the cup. The touch is the same.


    Millwall''s bus drove safely into the Ali Samian Stadium, and when the car stopped, the noise of the outside world became smaller, and Millwall players felt that they had come from one world to another.


    The game was played in the evening, the team warmed up before the game started, and there were already many fans in the stadium waiting for the game to start.


    After the players returned to the locker room, Aldridge stood in the center of the locker room and wrote lightly: "This is a stadium called hell, which will exert a great psychological impact on you. In itself, the fanatic home atmosphere will not Let your technical abilities decline, you won¡¯t deform your football, you won¡¯t let mines appear on the court out of thin air, but don¡¯t laugh!¡±


    Before Aldridge''s words were finished, Ronaldinho burst into laughter and immediately suffocated when Aldridge glared.


    "However, this will distract your attention, so that you should be 100% focused on the game and football. Attention is attracted to other things. This is the key point that will affect your performance. I have only one request for you. : Ignore the fans in the stands and play our style of football in 90 minutes, which is enough."


    After all, Aldridge turned and left the locker room.


    When he walked out of the player''s tunnel, he frowned, his feet didn''t step on the turf of the court, he smelled a pungent smell, and turned his head at the exit, good guy, some fans set fireworks on the backstage At first glance, his mother thought the stand was on fire!


    Galatasaray¡¯s fans stand in the stands with their "supernatural powers", the mainstream are singing, singing their team songs, repeating the words like crazy, passion, championship, etc. Aldridge is curious What does Garem mean.


    The huge variety of banners on the stands came into view. The most shocking one was the huge banner of "Welcome to Hell".


    Crazy fans greeted Millwall with exaggerated body movements, looking around the stadium, Aldridge couldn''t help but bowed his head and smiled.


    The crowd of demons dancing in the stands is a bit hell.


    But whose **** is this?


    Aldridge was booed by the home fans when he appeared. He calmly walked to the coach seat and sat down. Sometimes the head coach had to learn how to judge the situation.


    If he remembered correctly, an English coach coached Turkish giants in history, and then won the decisive battle between the two rival clubs, and then made an exaggerated provocative behavior, which directly brought him a death threat. Almost all flesh and soul stayed in Turkey forever.


    Afterwards, the coach explained his behavior and believed that his provocative behavior was commonplace in England. He did not expect Turkish fans to react so much.


    This has nothing to do with the quality of the fans, but the legal system of the social environment and the difference in management efficiency in the field of football. The same provocative behavior will cause fan dissatisfaction in England, and fan conflict may erupt outside the court, but the personal safety of the coach It is guaranteed, but in Turkey, especially among the deadly enemies, any excessive provocation can cause its own tragedy.


    Aldrich couldn''t make it come to "Hell" to show his arrogant attitude. He came to lead the team to play the game, not to invade.


    "The second day of the Champions League Group H match is about to start. Galatasaray is at home against Millwall from the Premier League. Currently Galatasaray is going to qualify from this group. The situation is fairly optimistic. They leveled AC. Milan, now welcoming Millwall, as long as they can score points from Millwall, they still have the hope of advancing to the top 16. Millwall easily defeated Hertha Berlin 4:1 on the first match day in London and ranked in the group. First, their powerful offensive firepower is the guarantee of victory, and it is not known whether they can play normally in front of Galatasaray, which Turkey claims to have **** at home."


    When the game started, the fanatical atmosphere continued, Millwall first entered the game through ball control, and got a corner kick 3 minutes later.


    Ronaldinho ran to take the corner kick. As a result, he encountered a "coin rain" in the corner flag position. He held his head and complained to the referee, but that was obviously useless.


    Nedved ran over to stop Ronaldinho''s entanglement with the referee. After pulling away Ronaldinho, he whispered to him: "Don''t be disturbed by factors outside the court."


    Ronaldinho picked up a coin on the ground and asked, "Is this also an off-site factor?"


    Nedved nodded with a serious expression and said to him: "If you continue to complain to the referee and your attention is distracted by the fans'' behavior, isn''t this Galatasaray''s most desired situation?"


    Ronaldinho reacted and listened to Nedved''s advice. After a hundred battles, Nedved accumulated a wealth of experience in the experienced East London Derby. This coin rain is nothing to fuss about. Sometimes the players are We must endure the attacks of hostile fans, abuse, humiliation, and even threats, come forward, resist the pressure, and be undisturbed, in order to temper a big heart, a psychological defense line that cannot be broken.

 Chapter 444： King of hell

    Before coming to Turkey, Aldridge was very low-key at the press conference. Even if the outside world thought it was a "war between good coaches", he deliberately avoided all the suspected problems of incitement.


    Since the beginning of the European Championship in 1996, Turkish football has started to rise in Europe. These years have been on an upward trend. In the past few years, Galatasaray has achieved a series of excellent records in Turkey. Among them, Galatasaray ''S coach has attracted the attention of European football: Fatih Trim.


    This is a coach who will be favored by Real Madrid, Barcelona, ??AC Milan and other giants in the future. It is also a person named by IFFHS as one of the eight best coaches in the world in the investigation of more than 80 countries.


    He is not a changer or a savior, but he is called the emperor in Turkey. Perhaps it is related to his inviolable personality traits. Anyone who challenges his authority or violates his boundaries will be counterattacked by anger.


    Aldrich hates trouble, so in his eyes is just an ordinary game, and does not want to cause trouble because of speech or body movements during the game.


    Trim is not as calm as Aldridge. He is eager to prove himself further, and he is in the same group as AC Milan and Millwall. It seems that Galatasaray is unlucky, but he thinks it is Galatasa Ray''s opportunity to further revise his name in Europe.


    He discharged the 4312 formation at home today, mainly with a short pass penetration in the middle.


    From the beginning of the game, Trim frowned, and Galatasaray''s ground attack could not be advanced from the middle.


    Millwall went from the striker to the midfield, the back defense of Henry and Nedved, plus the midfield line formed by Pirlo and Makelele, the interception success rate is very high, plus the opponent does not have a winger, two sides The guards Zambrotta and Schneider contracted, giving Southgate the environment to play the characteristics of an interception centreback.


    Aldridge sat down and watched.


    He studied Galatasaray and Boas joined the club last year. This year the club has improved the efficiency of the preparatory work.


    He is not afraid of Galatasaray''s tactical play with a focus on midfield penetration. Superficially, this tactic is too simple.


    The stadium is actually very large, and the real top teams can reasonably use the length and width of the stadium to achieve a combination of side and middle, which can not only break through from the middle, but also use the two sides to launch an offensive to expand the offensive surface and points. Millwall played very easily on the middle or side.


    Of course, this also depends on the player''s personal ability.


    Galatasaray''s mid-way propulsion effect is not ideal, but there is no winger, and the midfielders dare not take the initiative to pull the side, fearing that they will be too far away from the defensive area when being counterattacked, causing them to lose their position. The backline is also premised. In this way, the offense will give Millwall more pressure, but the risk of being counterattack is also greatly increased.


    During the fifteen-minute period from the tenth minute to the twenty-fifth minute of the game, Galatasaray seemed to take advantage of the field and played a wave of oppression, but they just forced Millwall The defense line withdrew and did not create a better opportunity in the dangerous area in front of the door.


    In the 27th minute, when Galatasaray went all over again with a crazy offensive midfielder, Neal steals and successfully passes the ball to Schneider, who has a big foot on the right to the vacuum of the frontcourt zone.


    Nedved certainly couldn''t grab the ball. He was running forward from the backcourt, but Ronaldinho moved from the side to the middle and stopped the ball at the landing point.


    Galatasaray quickly returned to the defense, but Ronaldinho was not in a hurry. He held the ball steadily, turned the ball in place and passed a rushing player. After Nedved rushed up, he passed the ball diagonally , Nedved rushed forward with the ball.


    Larsson and Henry crossed the running position to confuse the opponent''s back line. Nedvide passed the rib of the penalty area diagonally. Henry successfully stopped the ball and adjusted the ball from a small angle. The ball flew into the goal from the goalkeeper''s foot.


    "Millwall opened the record and Henry scored a goal! A simple but lethal counterattack helped Millwall lead Galatasaray away. Trim''s team has always had the advantage, but they are the first to concede the ball and calm down. ''S Hall is not anxious about the team being attacked. On the contrary, he may be waiting for Galatasaray to give them a counterattack."


    Henry didn''t run to the sidelines to celebrate after scoring a goal. Was it just asking for trouble, looking for letting the home team fans vent?


    He and his teammates hugged in front of the door to celebrate, then trot back to halftime together.


    Aldridge has been sitting, seeing the goal and chatting with Klinsmann next to him with a smile, praising Henry''s progressive superb shooting.


    Although this Galatasaray has excellent players such as Hakan Suk and Emre, the gap between the overall strength and Millwall is still relatively obvious.


    On the football field, it is common for strong teams to be pressed and played. This is not necessarily a manifestation of strength and weakness. Most of them are the tactical intentions of the head coach.


    When the weak team attacks, the strong attack, the strong attack, the attack is crazy, the attack is numb, and the attack is unreasonable, the strong team''s counterattack can easily defeat the opponent.


    In the contest between the top teams, it is almost difficult to create opportunities in positional battles, and counterattack is the first weapon for siege. So in the future, you can often see the confrontation between the strong, but the game is boring and lacks bright spots. That is, they are afraid of each other''s counterattacks. They are unwilling to give the opponents space to counterattack. Defensively, they must not have an absolute disadvantage of playing less and playing more.


    Galatasaray began to slow down after losing the ball. If you want to hit the success rate, you can pass the cutting position densely in the middle. The ordinary pass is no problem, but the threat of forward penetration will be Milwaukeed the first time. Strangled.


    Millwall¡¯s players are not in an ideal state today, and may be a factor in the away game. In short, there were undesirable mistakes between the first half of the match.


    "At the end of the first half of the game, Millwall walked into the locker room with a one-ball lead. Trim needs to think about some countermeasures. If Galatasaray loses this game, it will be 1 point in the two games. Then the prospect of going out will be very optimistic."


    Aldridge made tactical adjustments for the errors in the first half offensive coordination.


    Sometimes players can play 95 points today and 85 points tomorrow. Within a short period of the first half of the game, the head coach cannot make a qualitative change in three words. Never demand that a player be **** in the first half, and become a **** in the second half. That is unrealistic. The choice he can make is to adjust the tactics according to the player''s performance, or to make substitutions.


    It is normal for players to make mistakes, but as long as it is not an individual who has been playing abnormally for a long time or is so bad that he can''t look directly at it, Aldridge will not use a similar means of capital punishment.


    He let the team slow down the rhythm, reduce the choice of "adventure", and also pursue the success rate. It doesn''t matter if the rhythm is slowed down. The team leads, and there is no reason to be anxious.


    Back in the second half, Aldridge sat down again with the boos from the nearby stands.


    After the game started, he watched it for 5 minutes, and then looked at Trim in surprise.


    The opponent is like a general who is fighting with the army, and he frequently uses the body movements to direct the players to fight.


    Galatasaray changed in the second half.


    From 4312 to 4132.


    Intuitively looking at the position of players on the field, Galatasaray changed from a three-back to a single-back.


    The style of play hasn''t changed, or it''s concentrated on the middle.


    Aldridge reminisced about the fierceness of Trim, the Turkish emperor, and immediately relieved.


    Trim led the Turkish national team to the semi-finals almost in the form of a lore in 2008. Finally, he almost staged the same plot to Germany, but unfortunately was killed by Ram.


    Aldridge stood up, walked to the sidelines and put his hands in his pockets without saying a word.


    He stood here, the players knew he had a new perspective on the game, what players need to do, without words, can understand.


    Galatasaray changed in the second half. If they were really allowed to tie the score after scoring, the game would be completely different.


    Soon, Aldridge''s boys did not let him down.


    With a solid defense, they did not give Galatasaray a chance. On the contrary, in the 64th minute of the game, Millwall returned with a quick counterattack and Henry went to the next city.


    Pirlo made an accurate long pass to find Larson. Larson led the ball and drove straight in. When he passed the last defender of the opponent, he faced the goalkeeper and chose a cross. Henry outscored the ball and scored twice.


    Galatasaray greeted the second half in a desperate way, but the emptiness of the backcourt when fought back made the defense more vulnerable.


    Seeing the second goal scored, Aldridge turned and sat back.


    "Millwall is leading by two goals. It seems that the problem of winning the game will not be too big. How will Galatasaray face the remaining 25 minutes?"


    Two goals behind, Galatasaray had no choice but to attack.


    Ronaldinho played unsatisfactory today. He didn''t have any more highlights except for the goal after the turn of the guard when the goal was scored in the first half. Aldridge replaced him with Glenshire in the near seventy minutes. Perhaps, this **** home has really caused a negative impact on Ronaldinho''s play.


    Ronaldinho was quietly seated after being replaced. Boas came to him and asked him in a low voice. Ronaldinho frowned and began to pour water.


    He is on the sidelines and always cares if fans will attack him on the sidelines.


    It¡¯s one thing to listen to Nedved¡¯s suggestion, it¡¯s another thing to be really unaffected. The attack by the coin rain at the beginning left a shadow on his play in the later time. The flash in the first half was also his run. In the middle of the road, you don''t have to worry about being attacked by fans to achieve normal levels.


    After listening to it, Boas didn''t know how to resolve Ronaldinho. Just think about it. After all, not every week will come to "Hell" to play the game.


    Although the players tried not to be disturbed by the atmosphere of the stands, Millwall did not play his best today. Perhaps it was Aldridge who had run into an "Emperor". The opponent was not afraid to play crazy attacks with himself before allowing Milwaukee. On the contrary, in a bad state, it seems to have won the game very easily.


    From 70 minutes, Millwall entered the rhythm of a complete defensive counterattack.


    Three people were left in the frontcourt, Henry, Larson, and Glenn Charles.


    Galatasaray''s attack on the entire line was unsuccessful, and he turned around. Millwall''s counterattack approached the city and destroyed Galatasaray''s defense line through his personal ability.


    In the 79th minute of the game, Henry completed a hat trick.


    Three minutes later, Glenn Charles scored a goal with icing on the cake.


    Galatasaray pulled one back with a set ball after 2 minutes.


    After another 4 minutes, Larson went to the meeting with a single goal and was knocked down by the goalkeeper. The referee sent the red card goalkeeper out of the court and gave Millwall a penalty. Larson scored the goal in one fell swoop.


    At 5:1, Millwall went to Turkey to get a victory.


    After the game, Aldridge got up and walked over to shake hands with Trim. Without a word, he shook his hand and left.


    Hell at home?


    It''s not that the teeth are open, it means powerful.


    Sorry.


    I have world-class strength to demon demon.


    Even if this is really hell, then I am also the king of hell!

 Chapter 445： Narrative season

    In the post-match press conference, Aldridge listened to Fleet Street and said that he was a bit tired of praising him. Some reporters used Manchester United''s defeat here to support Milwall''s victory over Galatasaray today.


    Aldridge won''t be fooled by this fascinating soup.


    Mo said that Manchester United 6 years ago is not the same as Manchester United today. Even if the same game allows Millwall to play a game with Galatasaray, he is confident that he can win, but may not be able to win 4 .


    Galatasaray''s draw at AC Milan in San Siro may have given Trim false confidence that he can play against Millwall at home and the second half of the change is the biggest defeat, but these, Aldridge did not want to It doesn''t make sense to discuss with reporters.


    The UEFA Champions League group stage victory in both games, Millwall is considered by the outside world to have advanced the group qualifying, Aldridge severely refuted this argument with a frosty face.


    In fact, Millwall maintains this kind of play, and there is definitely no problem in qualifying, but if it is rendered by the media, it will inevitably have a psychological impact on the team. He hopes that the team will be arrogant and restless. In the third and fourth rounds, the back-to-back match with AC Milan was the key battle to qualify.


    To this end, he also specifically emphasized that AC Milan, who only scored 1 point in the two wars, will be a desperate fight. Millwall will easily qualify and AC Milan will definitely disagree.


    In the same round, AC Milan visited Germany and unexpectedly lost to Hertha Berlin.


    On boarding the return bus, Aldridge just sat down and a football appeared in front of him.


    Henry, who was frightened when he came, was excited now. He staged a hat-trick, took away the game ball, asked his teammates to sign it, and wrote down the date and location of the game, against the opponent.


    Aldridge took Henry''s smiling pen and signed his name on the football, and also specially added a title in front of the name: the head coach.


    After winning the ball, the players were very excited, but they would not discuss the content of the game anymore, but talked about some light and pleasant topics. When they got on the plane, most of the players chose to rest tiredly, and Henry loved to hold the football and closed. Eyes closed.


    He is full of longing for the new season this season. He was injured in the first half of last season, and the game played in the second half was not bad. It was a transitional period into the Millwall tactical system to adapt to the center position. In the new season, when he and his teammates When performing a beautiful offensive football together, he knew in his heart that he should have the consciousness of a striker to fight for the personal honor of a great striker.


    But such aggressiveness does not make him selfish on the court.


    Millwall¡¯s football philosophy is that the team is above all else. In the tactical system, creation belongs to the entire team. From the guard to the forward, you need to be creative and serve the team, not the midfielder to create. The striker is so monotonous. The rigidity, the end, is just the play of personal ability. When Larsen can pass the ball to Henry with a single-handed goalkeeper, Henry knows that if he is replaced, he should make the same choice, because they keep each other. With the consciousness of creation and cooperation, their opportunities are infinitely increased, and there are more opportunities. When it is his turn to grasp, he must grasp it, and don¡¯t have to worry about personal data at all. If you can¡¯t get good-looking data, it¡¯s an individual. The problem of ability has nothing to do with team support.


    Aldridge led his team back to London. In October, the weather began to turn cold. His life was in order. The schedule was very tight. He spent at least three nights a week in Liverpool and could not get very good. Rest, because he will be awakened by two noisy sons in the middle of the night, but he is not tired. Melanie came to London in late September, and she and the three remaining hot girls started to create new records.


    Millwall''s schedule in October, due to the FIFA International Competition Day in the middle, so the game is less than in other months, and the real hard battle is not in the league. It is a game to visit the Turkish **** at home, and then, it will be ushered in late AC Milan''s challenge, during this period of two league games, Audridge put some benches to play, giving the main players sufficient rest time.


    Middlesbrough 1:3 Millwall.


    Millwall 3: 0 Sunderland.


    At the end of the twelfth round of the Premier League, Millwall had a 12-game winning streak in the Premier League of the new season. If they counted their four consecutive victories in the final stage of the league last season, Millwall won a 16-game winning streak across the season.


    At home against Sunderland, there was no suspense in the result of the game. Millwall resolved the battle in 70 minutes and then began to stay prepared for the Champions League game.


    But after the game, the photos of Aldridge and Sunderland''s leading striker Kevin Phillips at the end of the game chatting with each other and making a friendly conversation became the headlines.


    Phillips, who left from Millwall that year, was Sunderland¡¯s biggest hero in returning to the Premier League in two years. Under Peter Reed¡¯s, Phillips was given a heavy responsibility. At the beginning of the new season, Sunderland has not entered the rhythm. But in the past month, they have performed very well, and in the player''s personal performance, Phillips is undoubtedly the biggest star of Sunderland, he alone has arranged more than 50% of the team''s goals!


    In fact, after the game, Aldridge and Phillips hugged and talked together. It was just a kind of old-fashioned apprenticeship. Phillips also consulted Aldridge about his personal development or skills on the field from time to time in the Sunderland in the past two years. The problem, his training in Sunderland, naturally did not get more professional guidance and training like in Millwall, but the foundation he laid in Millwall helped him to play better on the field and in the shooter list. Second only to Larson and Henry is the best proof.


    Fleet Street did not have good intentions to think that Aldridge wanted to bring Phillips back to his command. Aldridge directly denied it after the game.


    The bleak autumn season is more like a time of nostalgia and nostalgia.


    When the strong dialogue between Millwall and AC Milan was about to begin, Aldridge was asked about the topic of old people at the pre-match press conference.


    "Do you regret the decision to sell Shevchenko?"


    "No regrets, he dreamed of Milan. He went to Milan and realized his dream. I bless him and hope that he will always be happy. This is the whole story."


    "If there is a chance, will you buy back Shevchenko?"


    "No matter what kind of world, there is no if."


    "Who do you think Henry and Shevchenko are stronger?"


    "I never compare two players separately, it doesn''t make sense. Successful teams have successful players, but successful players may not be suitable for every successful team."


    "Your subtext is that Shevchenko is no longer suitable for Millwall?"


    "I didn¡¯t say that, but if you pay attention to Millwall for a long time, you will find that Millwall two years ago is very different from Millwall now. Shevchenko was an important member of Millwall at that time. Henry is now an important member of Millwall, the two have different characteristics, but under different backgrounds, the importance of the two is the same. Now Shevchenko has been doing well in AC Milan, I don¡¯t know you Why would he want him to leave AC Milan so much?"


    Aldridge was asked a little impatiently.


    The reporters kept their hearts together.


    Lest the world will not chaos.


    Otherwise, where is the news?


    "If Millwall wins this game, he can basically declare that he has advanced to the top 16 in advance?"


    "I said, there is no if, we won this game with 9 points and can not qualify in theory. Moreover, I don''t think Millwall can easily win this game, we are against AC Milan."


    Aldridge was very tangled by the reporter''s problems.


    He can''t show a gesture of underestimating the enemy, but he can''t exaggerate the strength of AC Milan too. It is really difficult to balance this degree.


    The next night, Aldridge saw Shevchenko in the player channel, and the two talked for a while.


    Last season helped AC Milan win the league title, Shevchenko became San Siro''s new darling, but the performance of AC Milan in the new season is not enough.


    Serie A started the battle at the end of August, and the league now has only 18 teams in 34 leagues. The schedule is relatively loose. The Premier League has played 12 rounds, and Serie A only played 6 rounds. AC Milan remained undefeated in the sixth round, but only Having won 2 victories, there are so many big draws that the fans are very enjoyable, but from the side, AC Milan''s defense is very problematic.


    After Aldridge chatted with Shevchenko, he patted his arm and left with a smile. Shevchenko stared at Aldridge''s back for a while.


    In his memory, he never seemed to see Aldridge showing disappointment or regret. Even if a player like him who helped Millwall win the Champions League was going to leave, Aldridge did not say it three times or five times. If you keep, the negotiation between the player and him is completed quickly. Audridge keeps, the player refuses, OK, Audridge let him leave.


    Of course, Shevchenko was not abandoned. Instead, he abandoned Millwall and Aldridge to pursue his childhood dreams.


    But Millwall and Aldrich will not enter the role of an abandoned child. Shevchenko, as one of the most important players ever, found that now in Aldridge''s eyes, he is just an ordinary friend at best.


    The past is like smoke, scattered with the wind, Aldridge never tangled in the past.


    When Shevchenko stepped into Wembley wearing AC Milan''s jersey, his heart suddenly shuddered.


    Not because the fans here welcomed his return, on the contrary, the treatment he received here was no different from that of ordinary AC Milan players.


    Looking around, no fans in the stands will welcome him with slogans, or, hate him, he is like air, like a stranger coming here for the first time!


    He may have forgotten who the fans in the stands belong to.


    It''s a group of fans who can sing "No one likes us, it doesn''t matter!"


    Shevchenko and those who had already left, even though they would arouse the regret or hatred of the fans at the time, but it didn''t take long for the fans to be relieved.


    You are going to pursue your dreams, you are going to wear the "noble" shirt, then go!


    Our survival never counts on others. It is brothers, family members, and strangers or enemies that leave.


    The psychology of fanatic lions is reflected from the social life norms.


    Should they be grateful to Shevchenko?


    Why would you be grateful?


    In the opinion of fans, it is not Shevchenko who has achieved Millwall''s glory, but Millwall has achieved him!


    They are most grateful to Aldridge, and the players who have always stayed to write the legend of the club with loyalty. Even if Bout is a goalkeeper, the status of the fans is 100 times higher than Shevchenko. It is worth their efforts to Butura Acura!

 Chapter 446： Expect a surprise

    "The third round of the UEFA Champions League Group H is about to start. Group leader Millwall faces Serie A giant AC Milan at Wembley. Millwall''s starting lineup is still 433 today, AC Milan starting 352, and the Italian media pointed out 6 before the game. If AC Milan, who lost 10 goals in the round of the league, still uses 352 to play against Millwall, it will be very disadvantageous. Their number of goals dropped is the same as the number of goals dropped by Millwall in various events in the new season..."


    Millwall today, in addition to Materazzi''s recovery from the start by Neil, the other players got enough rest time, and the state was adjusted to a level that satisfied the coaching staff.


    Starting 433.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Neal, Southgate, Zambrotta.


    Midfielders: Makelele, Pirlo, Nedved.


    Forwards: Larson, Henry, Ronaldinho.


    AC Milan used a 352 formation.


    Goalkeeper: Abbiati.


    Guards: Sarah, Costa Kuta, Maldini.


    Midfielders: Ambrosini, Albertini, Boban, Gugli, Serginho.


    Forwards: Bierhoff, Shevchenko.


    Sometimes 352 is just a word game, in fact, it is no different from other lineups when the full-backs step forward and assist. 352, 532, one attack, one defense, flexible switching during the game, but there are higher requirements for the speed of attack and defense conversion , Just like 361, it is actually 541 when defending.


    But Zaccheroni''s 352 really looks like 352, or asymmetric 442.


    Brazilian Serginho, who has received much attention after joining the new season, is a take-all on the left.


    Aldrich stood on the sidelines with one hand in his pocket, gazing calmly at the field.


    When the game started, Millwall''s formation advanced, and the ball began to run at high speed, rolling back and forth on the turf. Millwall first passed the ball back, then moved laterally, and all the team members touched it out. Ball, this process is dazzling.


    AC Milan''s players came up for pressure, but the overall formation did not over-press. Their midfielder expanded the interception with a number of advantages, but Millwall''s forward pass was initiated from the side, almost passing the ball to the sideline. Ronaldinho''s feet.


    Ronaldinho took the ball forward, cut it in front of Sarah, then took the ball to the bottom, and then passed the triangle down, handing the ball to the forward Nedved, Ambrosini interfered with Nedved, Czech Republic The man chose to kick the ball, then kicked the ball back to the wing. Zambrotta, who came from the side of the rim, hit the ball again and the ball was returned to Nedved.


    At this time, Nedvide then put the ball straight, just returned to Zambrotta, just to fight for time, let Ronaldinho ran back from the offside position, and this time again straight, Ronaldinho succeeded in counteroffside, Deeper into the middle of the penalty area and closer to the opponent''s goal.


    Costa Kuta came to press, Ronaldinho calmly dunked the ball, and then when Ambrosini returned to the defense, the ball was unexpectedly passed to Nedved, Henry attracted Albertini''s Defensively, Nedvide was unmarked against the goal, but the ball was a kick. Abbiati moved two steps from the left side of the goal to the right and flew to save, but the result was still slow. Into the goal.


    "In the opening 36 seconds, Millwall Blitz broke the goal! After a 23-foot pass, they broke through the door of AC Milan! Classic coordination, classic pass and cut position, classic team performance! Nedved became the finisher, AC Milan¡¯s 3-guard system did not hold on for 1 minute under Millwall¡¯s powerful firepower!"


    After scoring a goal, Nedved rushed to Ronaldinho, jumped on the opponent''s body and raised his fist with a roar.


    The other teammates also rushed over, and the backcourt players were no exception. They all directly participated in this attack. Perhaps, only Southgate and Bout were a little depressed. They didn''t touch them in the 23-foot pass. Over ball.


    Aldridge smiled faintly, and then returned to calm. It was a good thing to score as soon as he started, but if he is proud now, it would be too early.


    AC Milan is strong in the midfield, although the three guards have stunts, but the natural conditions cannot be broken.


    The field is so wide, the four guards stand there, and the defensive space will be narrow. The three guards stand on parallel lines of the same width. Can the space be the same?


    Millwall opened the offensive, without going around with the opponent''s mid lane, he walked on the sideline, as long as he bypassed the midfield, directly hit the opponent''s defender line, and then combined with the middle to find the time, Ronaldinho''s anti-offside and detained Costa Kuta were Magical strokes, wonderful can''t ask for more.


    AC Milan entered the state slowly. After re-kick-off, it stabilized the situation first. Millwall took the lead and was not in a hurry.


    Take it, don''t use it.


    The opponent''s three-back system allows the opponent to attack, and the space behind is bigger than the four-back system!


    AC Milan''s midfielders are dominant. Even if their positional offense is frustrated, the rapid counter-robbing and the expanded lateral interception have allowed the two teams to start a tug of war in the midfield for a period of time.


    Millwall still continued the tactics of crossing the midfield, looking directly for the forward, but the three forwards against the three guards, plus the opponent''s midfielder defense, I really couldn''t find a good opportunity for a while.


    After 25 minutes, Aldridge made a gesture, allowing Larson and Ronaldinho to retreat widely.


    Directly crossing the midfield line to find the striker will always fall into a state of isolation.


    Before the game, he told the striker to reduce singles, especially on Larsen''s side. For Maldini, if you get close to the opponent, you can basically declare that the midfield and backcourt players are defensive and ready to be counterattacked.


    To destroy AC Milan''s defense, you still have to rely on the opening and closing, from the point to the surface, with a finer attack and more patience, and deliberately taking away the opponent by an outburst, really underestimating AC Milan.


    At this time, Pirlo''s metronome began to show its power.


    He controlled the rhythm in an orderly way, making his opponent think that Millwall would slowly consume AC Milan, but ten minutes later, when Schneider inserted from the side of the high speed, Pirlo decisively shifted the attack with a long diagonal pass. He observed In the frontcourt, the positions of the offensive players are scattered and reasonable. The advancement of the offensive points is available, and the speed is suddenly increased!


    Schneider took the ball on the wing, and he threw away Serginho during the run, then passed the ball to Larson.


    Larsson took the ball to the inside. Maldini moved the inside to the front of Larsson. Larsson passed the ball decisively to Schneider on the side.


    The German''s big-footed long pass shifted horizontally, making Milan''s defending players caught off guard. They were moving to the right, compressing the area over there, but Schneider''s long pass shift made them want to turn around to observe another. The situation on the side.


    Ronaldinho didn''t wait for Sarah to defend after stopping the ball, directly hitting the opponent''s central defender with a ground straight, Costa Kuta''s turn speed was already criticized, Henry was killed from behind him, and even when he turned, he even had the opportunity to foul No.


    Henry ran diagonally from right to left. After getting the ball in the penalty area, he chose a low-angle low shot. The ball was thrown down by Abbiati, but the ball rolled slowly in front of the goal line in the center of the goal. Tini and Larson are chasing this at the same time. Larsen, who had been consciously outspoken, is faster than Maldini, sliding down the shovel and hitting the ball into the goal.


    "2:0! Millwall expanded the score to 2:0 in the 36th minute of the first half. Larson scored the ball with a supplementary shot. If AC Milan has one more central defender, will this goal be avoided? We I don¡¯t know, but Zaccheroni¡¯s problem now is that the 3 guards can¡¯t resist Millwall¡¯s offense! Although they have one of the best defenders in the world.¡±


    After scoring, Larson and his teammates easily jog to the sidelines and kiss the stands...


    Lion fans who cheered for Millwall at Wembley cheered Larson whenever they saw a goal.


    Regardless of any game, as long as Larson scores a goal, he is refreshing the history of the club. In the past five seasons with the Lions, he has become the player with the most goals in the history of the Millwall club. Now, It is to continuously increase, increase, and increase this number so that the latecomers will look up.


    Moreover, he is also refreshing his own record: the number of goals scored in the European War.


    Aldridge called Pirlo to the front and told him that the next game would be played just like before. There is no need to deliberately pursue the speed of the counterattack. As long as the acceleration of the rhythm is well grasped, the opportunity will be more effective than blindly seeking fast.


    Pirlo nodded and ran back to the field.


    AC Milan is two goals behind and the UEFA Champions League team is in a precarious situation. They will inevitably increase the force of rushing, but this is what Millwall is most afraid of. You are not afraid of robbing, or you are not robbing but statically intensive defense!


    Zaccheroni looked stern and said nothing on the sidelines, while Aldridge looked breezy and even made people wonder if he was fascinated.


    "People are always asking why Millwall is so powerful? Why? Because they have a lot of stars? Don¡¯t those giants not have a group of stars? But if you watch Millwall carefully every game and pay attention to the details of the changes on the field, You will know that Hall¡¯s attitude and work efficiency for each game, on-the-spot command, and tactical adjustment are the reasons why Millwall is more powerful than expected. Yes, we rarely see him passionately celebrating now, because For him, his job is different from before. In the past, a victory may seem difficult, but now, he must ensure that the team can continue to win. This is his pursuit, and he is also to lead Mill Wall is a must-have for the European giants. The first half of the game is coming to an end. I believe that no matter what the result of the game, after the game, this first half will still be the focus of many football professional critics. "


    At the end of the first half, Aldridge was slightly disappointed.


    Millwall and AC Milan''s cards are different, but the head coach has these cards, how to play is his own idea.


    Zaccheroni failed to surprise Audridge.


    He hopes that the opponent will cause some trouble to Millwall, some unexpected before the game, can bring a strong impact on the game changes during the game.


    However, he did not see these.


    Bierhof walked for 45 minutes, Shevchenko was intercepted again before retreating and waiting for the ball to be isolated on the front line, and he wandered for 45 minutes. Serginho and Guli were on the sidelines. Can create problems for Zambrotta and Schneider. Albertini played unsatisfactory under the envelope of Henry and Nedved. Boban can bully Pirlo. It is a complete defeat against Makelele.


    Aldrich does not think that 3 guards can bring more changes than the 4 guard system. The 4 guards seem to have more defensive numbers, but when there is a need to change in the offense, it is important for the full-back to step forward. AC Milan played 3 guards, increase the midfield, in fact, in the case of limited offensive players, they can provide fewer points of change instead.


    As he walked into the locker room, Aldridge looked forward to Zaccheroni''s surprise in the second half.


    This is not that he is looking for abuse, but he is still on the way of learning. He hopes that the famous coaches can "learn" him in actual combat and let him learn something new, especially like now, AC Milan two If the ball falls behind, if Zaccheroni can reverse the tactics, Aldridge is happy to see that, then, he can find that he is insufficient to tune the team. It is better to find problems in the group stage than in the knockout stage.

 Chapter 447： 2VS4, burst!

    AC Milan''s head coach Zaccheroni, the team''s 11 players and substitutes, and the majority of Milan fans, they are very clear about the fact: If AC Milan cannot win this game, the situation of 1 point or 2 points in 3 games will be So that their future in the Champions League are bleak.


    Aldridge still stood on the sidelines in the second half, his eyes were still, and his eyes moved back and forth. It seemed that the whole person exuded a little dignity in static.


    He is observing that AC Milan did not make personnel changes in the second half, but was more aggressive in tactics, and showed a courage to break through.


    They attacked fiercely and the formation was overwhelming. For a while, Millwall''s formation had to passively move backwards, compressing the space to defend well.


    At the beginning of the second half, Shevchenko got a not-so-good chance. After a kick in the penalty area, Bout fell to the ground with one hand and blocked the bottom line, shocking the audience in the stands.


    Aldridge watched for another 5 minutes, then gestured to Larson and Nedved, and gave them different tactical instructions.


    Larsson retreated to participate more in defense, and Nedved strengthened the left defense in the backcourt.


    AC Milan is not just as simple as it is. If so, then Audridge need not worry, don''t look at the other party''s aggressive attack, but the risk of being counterattacked in the backcourt is higher.


    The opponent is purposely playing on the left, using Serginho''s personal ability and the cooperation of players such as Boban, Bierhof, Albertini and other players to force the left.


    During this time, Schneider can only be exhausted on the defensive line. When Larson retraced deeper to expand the defense zone to the bottom line, Schneider was a lot easier. He could concentrate on defending the team in the other side.


    Aldrich¡¯s only uncertainty is whether the opponent¡¯s pressure on the left is a real hit, or whether he is slamming a shot!


    After 3 minutes, Aldridge''s eyes changed slightly.


    Serginho suddenly hit a return pass, Albertini kicked the ball in front of Pirlo and passed the ball to Bierhof, who was pressing the back line. The German also kept the ball and knocked it. Shevchenko!


    Sure enough, it was just a feast to attack the left, and to force the left!


    Makelele¡¯s position is on the left of Shevchenko. Shevchenko should have room to drive the ball to the right and break through the ribs of the penalty area. That is one-on-one between him and Southgate, but he is in After taking the ball, it was found that Nedved actually blocked his route, and Southgate firmly stood in position, not rushing to grab him, even if the Ukrainian nuclear warhead is at the foot of the big penalty area, in such a dangerous area , Millwall''s defense is still unscathed.


    With the ability, you can hit the world wave on the spot, if you move, you will definitely lose the ball!


    Between the electro-optical flints, Shevchenko chose to take the ball and passed the ball diagonally to the right front rib. The line of Gulineche was exactly in that position, but Zambrotta guarded the opponent''s move. Put the outside line to Guli, you have to pass on the side, casually, but if you enter the restricted area inside, there is no way!


    In the training of Millwall''s defensive system, the full-back defense is the first priority. The full-back can allow the opponent''s side players to pass, but they must never allow the opponent to enter the penalty area to take the ball. This is the most basic requirement. Obviously, the threat of endo is much higher than the sidewalk activity.


    For this reason, before Gouli touched the ball in the running position, Zambrotta took the lead and took the ball away, and at the same time, immediately launched a counterattack.


    AC Milan''s attacking midfielder immediately turned back and ran back, and Shevchenko also immediately robbed Zambrotta.


    Overlooking the stadium, in the second half of Millwall, the Red and Black Legions swarmed and retreated, and the scene was like a big escape!


    But man, after all, no ball runs fast!


    Zambrotta didn''t wait for Shevchenko to grab a direct pass. In the frontcourt, Millwall had only two players, Henry who had just passed halftime, Ronaldinho at the sideline of halftime.


    Ronaldinho received the ball without marking, immediately turned around the ball, and at first glance, he faced a choice.


    AC Milan has four defenders in the backcourt, three guards and a midfielder Ambrosini.


    Millwall had only two people, Ronaldinho and Henry.


    Is it to wait for teammates to plug in at high speed or directly on their own!


    Waiting for his teammates, then AC Milan''s rushing back to defense will inevitably cause interference.


    Said to be a choice, Ronaldinho actually made the decision in the blink of an eye, and Henry also seemed to have a good heart, and immediately started running.


    Ronaldinho prides himself on life, 2VS4!


    on!


    He didn''t need to warm up, he started directly, took the ball on the left and ran for a long distance. There was Sara in front of him. Ambrosini withdrew first. Seeing Ronaldinho single-handedly killed, Ambrosini chose to gradually Close to Ronaldinho''s side.


    Ronaldinho drew the ball forward for fifteen meters, and then suddenly changed direction, it seemed to be a duel with Ambrosini!


    Sarah was attracted by Ronaldinho''s change of direction, and gradually moved closer to the middle. He and Ambrosini were getting closer and closer. It seemed that he wanted to work together to close the door and defend Ronaldinho''s way.


    Just when the two AC Milan defensive players were less than three meters away from each other, Ronaldinho was two meters in front of them. The next step was to decide the success or failure!


    Ambrosini is ready to grab, leaving the right side empty, if Ronaldinho changes direction, it will definitely fall under Sara control, this is a defensive cooperation.


    However, he was not close to Ronaldinho, but the ball had come.


    Sarah and Ambrosini watched the ball roll between them and slanted towards the back.


    Henry had started all the way from the middle to kill forward. When Ronaldinho turned to the middle, Henry turned to the left. There was a large area there. Behind Sara, Ronaldinho''s pass arrived as scheduled!


    Sarah immediately turned to chase Henry, and Costa Kuta also moved to the right to intercept Henry head-on.


    Ronaldinho''s speed did not decrease after the ball came out, and he ran forward all the way. Ambrosini turned and chased and couldn''t get close.


    Just when Costa Kuta and Sara want to envelop Henry, Henry also chose to take the ball, straight and straight, Ronaldinho inserted the ball in front, almost a half-single trend!


    Maldini used his experience to predict Ronaldinho''s running route, so he made a defensive midfield. At the moment Ronaldinho received the ball, he had become a central defender and stood in front of Ronaldinho''s right. Ronaldinho did not have a shooting angle. At the same time, he gradually approached Ronaldinho, fearing that he would be swept away by an instant, especially if the opponent has entered the penalty area and must not give the opponent a penalty!


    Sara and Costa Kuta also immediately turned around to defend Ronaldinho.


    Ronaldinho has Maldini in front of him, and there are two AC Milan defenders on the left side behind him.


    He didn¡¯t move, he knew that if he moved again, top left, right, southeast and northwest, he would be the worst decision no matter which side he moved. To the bottom line or the outside line, AC Milan defended successfully. Inwards, he thought the odds Not high, just seeing Maldini''s calm expression, he knows that the other party is not easy to deal with.


    Ronaldinho suddenly stood in the same place for a second, still there, giving a very strange visual sense, as if he gave up.


    But a second later, he kicked the ball with his legs raised by his legs!


    The ball went to his right back, and Henry, who moved laterally after passing the ball, just happened to kill, and Maldini gritted his teeth!


    Sarah and Costa Kuta, Ronaldinho alone is enough! Why did both of them come back, but they let Henry out of position!


    Maldini had to move to Henry''s side. Henry touched the ball forward and backward and gently pricked the ball to the right with his toes. At the same time, he paused in rhythm. Maldini watched the ball roll from his front to himself The left rear, and Henry, was passing him.


    The ball is divided!


    Maldini had to turn around in the future, he fell to the ground.


    He was knocked down!


    who is it?


    Ambrosini!


    Ambrosini chased Henry from behind, and when Henry''s ball passed, he couldn''t stop the car and collided with Maldini!


    Henry no matter what happened behind him, after the ball was successfully scored, he controlled the ball inward and made a slight adjustment to pretend to volley voluntarily. Abbiati abandoned the door and Henry came with a seemingly weak push. The shot, but the angle is too tricky, rolled over from Abbiati''s feet, against the inside of the goal post and rolled into the goal.


    "What kind of goal is this! What kind of goal! Audience, who blinked just now? Is there? If so, it is your regret! Ronaldinho and Henry joined forces for us, For the European Champions Cup, for the European football, for the world football dedicated a wonderful goal that can be recorded in history! It is impossible to describe the beauty of this goal with words, what do you need to appreciate from football? ?This goal can satisfy you! Cooperation between teammates? This goal can satisfy you! The shock of speed and passion? This goal can satisfy you!"


    When Henry''s goal was scored, he looked back. AC Milan attacked the players in the frontcourt. Except for Bierhof, everyone else returned to the second half, and even four players have rushed into the penalty area. However, they are late, so maybe it is one second, maybe 0.5 seconds.


    Both Maldini and Ambrosini fell to the ground, but they did not cause much trouble. Ambrosini stood up and apologized to Maldini with a blame. The team comforted him with a serious expression, but did not The slightest anger or blame for teammates.


    He has witnessed the glory of the Milan dynasty, witnessed the decline of this dynasty, stepped on the altar, fell through the trough, no matter how great the achievements can not be stunned with reason, no matter how painful failure can not defeat the will.


    When the team needs it most, he gives it to the team.


    In the current situation, this team does not need to complain and blame, but also needs tolerance and calmness, patience and time, and the team''s will to stick to the bottom line of collapse.


    Henry trotting towards Ronaldinho, smiling at him.


    Ronaldinho came to the side and jumped up Samba...


    Aldridge raised his head and closed his eyes and smiled on the sidelines. Klinsmann and Jenson rushed out to hug him and jump and jump.


    The goal just now, in their view, is both visually stunning and pleasing to the eye.


    Aldridge silently said in his heart: there is no waste in paying.


    To succeed, you have to pay. When success comes, it can be understood as a matter of course. If you still cannot succeed, then you have not paid enough.


    Ronaldinho Henry, 2 of 4, hit AC Milan''s three-back and added a midfielder.


    This is not a flash of their aura, but a skill that has been tempered through training.


    If the outside world knows how they were arranged by Aldridge during training, then they will not be surprised by the tacit understanding of the two in this attack.


    On the Millwall training ground, in a group match, the main offensive group is often 3 to 5, 4 to 6, 5 to 8!


    The applause in Wembley''s stands has been enduring, both fans and neutral fans will feel that today''s game is worth the fare, and it is super value!


    In the opening blitz goal and the third goal, Millwall gave them a higher visual enjoyment.


    Only Milan fans who rushed to cheer on the road were sad at this moment.

 Chapter 448： Top Battle

    Aldridge thinks he looks like a face.


    It shouldn''t be to look forward to Zaccheroni.


    When the third goal was scored, Aldridge realized this.


    Not to deny the opponent''s coaching ability, but to change him to Zaccheroni, in the situation of two goals behind, there are not many options, especially considering the background of the UEFA Champions League group stage.


    Of course, when he coached the current AC Milan, as a guest against Millwall, although it is impossible to play a defensive formation of 5 guards, the configuration of 4 guards + 2 defensive midfielders is essential, except for tactical counterattacks. , Can there be more choices?


    But maybe AC ??Milan came to London with the arrogance of the world¡¯s first league champion, maybe it¡¯s just that Zaccheroni didn¡¯t dare to risk changing the team¡¯s mature skills and tactics, even if this set has been in the new season of Serie A. It proves that there is a big problem with defense.


    If the time goes back 80 minutes, the game restarts. After 80 minutes, the situation may not be as it is now. The ball is less than one minute away from the opening, which directly declares the basis of AC Milan being fully passive.


    Three goals ahead, is there any suspense in the game?


    The remaining time is a lot, and there are nearly 30 minutes.


    Aldridge still stood on the sidelines watching the game. He wanted to see how the red and black army faced the last half hour.


    Will you give up?


    Will it actively shrink to avoid the next goal drop?


    Or delay the game time and escape the nightmarish Wembley as soon as possible?


    The realistic picture is that AC Milan seems to be behind a goal, or the score is a draw, they are working hard to score goals, as if scoring a goal, they will win.


    The midfielders run up and down, at all cost of physical strength, and their performance has won the respect of the audience.


    But on the football field, winning or losing has nothing to do with respect.


    In the 81st minute of the game, AC Milan''s defense line, which had problems with excessive physical fitness, was in a hurry.


    Pirlo eased past Boban in the midfield and then took the ball forward, passing diagonally in front of Albertini to Nedved, who ran out of space.


    Henry pulled to the right, Larson crossed with him, Nedvide passed the ball on the right and handed the ball to Henry. Henry kept passing the ball and sent a straight plug to Larson. AC Milan''s defense was unbearable. On one blow, Costa Kuta grabbed the ball and cut it in a hurry. Larson stopped the rhythm of passing the ball and wiped him off, then shot hard at the far corner and went to the next city.


    "4:0, who could have imagined such a score before the match? The Premier League champion defeated Serie A champion AC Milan at Wembley!"


    Ronaldinho ran to kneel in front of Larson and took the initiative to do the shoe-shine celebration for him.


    Larsen, who scored twice, was quickly replaced by Aldridge to greet the audience with cheers and tribute.


    Aldridge replaced three of them in one go, the striker Trident.


    This weekend, they have another important league to play.


    After the substitutions were completed, Aldridge turned to the coach seat. In his eyes now AC Milan, just doing a battle of trapped beasts on the field, bursting out of sorrow.


    "The end of the match, the third round of the UEFA Champions League Group H group match ended, Millwall defeated AC Milan 4:0 at Wembley, winning three games and scoring 9 points, almost locked a qualifying place, AC Milan scored only one point in one draw and two losses in three games. The next three rounds will be a life-and-death match for AC Milan. This is probably a situation that everyone did not expect after the result of the group draw. People think that AC Milan will Together with Millwall, AC Milan is probably the first team to be out of this group! Two weeks later in San Siro, the two teams will meet again. The result of that game may be the fate of Millwall. Not much impact, but for AC Milan and the other two teams, it will have a direct impact on the qualifying situation! We will see you in San Siro two weeks later!"


    Aldridge shook hands with Zaccheroni calmly and then twisted into the player''s tunnel.


    The process is enjoyable, but the result does not give him too strong a sense of accomplishment.


    Originally the group qualifying was the right thing to do. After three games were completed, according to the current situation of this group, as long as the next three games won a match, the qualifying would be stable.


    This gives him more room for platoon formations and player arrangements, which is a positive factor.


    Can beat AC Milan, but not enough to make him proud and proud.


    When he came to the post-match press conference, reporters asked him questions.


    "Millwall beat AC Milan 4-0. Has your team reached a perfect level?"


    "The score of 4:0 is shocking, but in fact the score does not prove the gap between the two teams, I would say Millwall is stronger, but if we say that we will win 3-4 in 10 games with AC Milan, That is obviously not possible. I think this is just an ordinary victory. AC Milan, regardless of the pressure from the qualifying situation, the recent state, and the guests coming from afar, etc., they are all passive. In an equal environment, they have no pressure for points and no expedition for expeditions. I think the competition will be more intense and exciting."


    Aldridge kept a low profile as always.


    In fact, Fleet Street has already deciphered Aldridge''s intentions.


    He doesn''t want to boast in front of the media and sing praises for his team, which will lead to complacency and fluctuating mentality.


    Be humble, low-key, victory or defeat is commonplace among military strategists. Today, it seems like you can reach the sky with your hand proud. When you are defeated tomorrow, you may not be able to get to the point of falling into the well.


    This attitude that has accumulated over a long period of time is also a temperament that Aldridge needs to give the team as the head coach: Never think that you are already the best, and work tirelessly to break through the peak boundaries set by others for you!


    "Except for a few factors you mentioned, what caused AC Milan to defeat the score?"


    "The ball was conceded in less than 1 minute at the start. The ball was thrown to the edge of the cliff by AC Milan. Next, we scored two more goals for them through counterattacks. Finally, they could not keep up and lost the fourth. If they hold 6 points, then even if they lose the ball in the first minute, they can still feel suffocated. After all, there is still a chance to return to the home game, but they did not win in the previous two group matches. The defeat has buried a fortune. However, I have to praise my players. They performed well today, and they have met my requirements, whether offensively or defensively. This is why we are strong. Players¡¯ personal abilities are only the foundation and tactical discipline. Factors such as game engagement, team awareness, etc. are invisible to the naked eye, and they are the key to their ability to form a strong team."


    ...


    The next day, Millwall became the focal point of European football.


    It wasn''t their three-game winning streak in the group stage, nor was it because they defeated AC Milan.


    Instead, their two goals in the game are continuously broadcast by football programs in major European media.


    With a 23-foot pass, Henry and Ronaldinho teamed up to explode the 4-player defense line of AC Milan''s backcourt. The process of these two goals, the previous one was pleasing to the eye, like a rhythmic poem. However, with the cooperation of the mercury, the smooth running and passing, the goal is like a natural one, and the team football is interpreted to the extreme. Many ball critics repeatedly review the whole process of this goal, and each single pass Factors such as choice, standing on the field, space utilization, etc. are analyzed in detail, like Millwall being studied as a precision machine.


    The second goal, from Ronaldinho''s touch to Henry''s goal, took a total of 9.3 seconds before and after, in less than 10 seconds, the two people through their personal abilities and mutual cooperation, torn apart the opponent''s defense line, fast Ingenious, coupled with the collision between Maldini and Ambrosini, this goal is more exciting when appreciated.


    The commentary when the narrator''s passion broke out was also directly used as the background.


    No matter what you want to see from the football match, this goal scoring process can satisfy you the most.


    The world of football will never be frozen in the past. No matter how exciting the game was yesterday, tomorrow, with the new game becoming the focus, the past wonderful will be replaced, and the battle between Millwall and AC Milan can continue after the game It has been commendable to receive attention, but life is still going on. The war has just ended, and a new war is coming quietly. Wolf smoke will never be extinguished.


    Only 12 rounds have been played in the Premier League this season, but after 12 rounds, all European bookmakers have lowered the odds of winning the Premier League¡¯s first popular team Millwall to an outrageous level, which is only higher than the bank¡¯s regular interest rate. The return rate of 0.2, the odds of winning the Champions League in the same period, Millwall has also risen from the third-most popular championship to the first place before the season, the odds of winning the plunge!


    Judging from the current situation in the Premier League, if Millwall cannot finish the trophy at the end of the season, then this may be the most incredible reversal in the history of the Premier League.


    At the end of the first 10 rounds, Millwall led Manchester United by 9 points and Arsenal by 11 points.


    After 12 rounds, Millwall led Manchester United by 12 points, and Manchester United lost again. The defeat of White Hart Lane made Ferguson''s team drift away from the league championship again. Arsenal won two battles, especially at Stanford. Bridge all scored three points to win the key battle, they ranked third in the standings, but still 11 points away from Millwall.


    As the weekend approached, Fleet Street began to ignite a new battle.


    "The top battle is coming this weekend!"


    In this weekend''s league, Millwall is going to fight the top of the list. The opponent is the league runner-up. A team that should not be surprised is now occupying the second place in the standings.


    The White Rose of Yorkshire: Leeds United!


    The young guards led by Ole interest rate played well in the new season, once won 6 consecutive victories, after 12 rounds of league games, they won 8 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, with 26 points, behind Mill Wall scored 10 points, a big gap from the top team, this is clear, but they stepped on Manchester United and Arsenal, and Chelsea occupy the second place in the league, which is much better than they expected before the season. The outside world expects them It''s a fight for four, and now, it may be a fight for a championship!


    In addition to the gimmick of the top game in this game, there are too many interesting points to watch.


    O''Reilly and Aldridge are both representatives of the youngsters in English football, and the duel between the two young coaches is enough to attract attention.


    Last season, Millwall had a one-on-one record against Leeds United. O''Reilly had the upper hand. The outside world regarded this game as Aldridge''s revenge!


    In the summer, the two reached a transfer transaction of up to 10 players for 60 million pounds, not to mention hatred, but it is also a big show for the old anti-Go.


    Moreover, it is not a player. In the Leeds RUF, several former Millwall players joined forces to fight against the old club.


    The fierce confrontation of the youth army is on the verge!

 Chapter 449： Conquer the masses

    On Friday night, Aldridge went back to his parents¡¯ home in the eastern suburbs to spend the night. When he got up the next morning, his mother Amelia prepared breakfast early.


    Even if her family is still rich and expensive, but Amelia, who has lived half her life as a working class, is still used to doing her own work, especially housework, and does not feel tired, or if she is not a complete housewife, she doesn¡¯t know what to do. Kill time.


    "When will Burt and Earl be brought to London?"


    Amelia put breakfast in front of Aldridge and asked while pouring milk for him.


    Aldrich casually said: "They live well with Melanie''s parents."


    "Don''t Melanie work in London?"


    "Yes."


    "Have you met?"


    "No."


    "Then this issue should be discussed carefully. You are parents, but you are not with your children. How can this be done?"


    Aldridge sighed and said softly: "I don''t want to be in the situation now, but I have the power to be a father, but not the right to take away the child. Simply put, I can go to see the child, but where does the child live , Who is taking care of it, it¡¯s Melanie¡¯s decision, unless my son is poorly cared for and grows badly.¡±


    Amelia frowned.


    This kind of thing is not uncommon. In an international metropolis such as London, interpersonal relationships are intricate, and it is also now popular for single mothers as long as their children are not married, or women who only want children but not men.


    She heard something, and left behind when she heard it, but it happened to her own son, but it felt tricky again.


    Arthur came downstairs in pajamas, yawned and sat at the top of the dining table. He picked up today''s newspaper to watch it, looked at it, glared his eyes, snapped the newspaper on the table, and scolded: "Dasha! "


    Aldrich turned his head and smiled at Amelia: "If my son is here to hear his swearing every day, I would rather let his son live in Liverpool."


    Amelia rolled her eyes and was helpless to Arthur. The man had done more than fifty in this virtue. Can he still change it?


    Aldrich knew that Arthur must have been upset by the content of the newspaper. Sometimes the old rogue just likes to be horny. He writes unpleasant comments or specious news in the newspaper. If he doesn¡¯t want to read it, he throws it away. Well, I always get mad at myself.


    He didn''t speak and ate breakfast quietly, but he didn''t eat two bites. Arthur couldn''t hold back and said to him, "Son, why do you say some people are so arrogant?"


    "Oh, what did the newspaper write?"


    "I''m surprised, the old **** Bates has said from time to time that Chelsea will become the Rome he built, but Chelsea doesn''t even have a Premier League champion, he is crazy! Oh, now, Leeds United is temporarily ranked second in the league. Well, Ritzdale actually said that they would not be able to surpass Millwall in a few years, and they wouldn¡¯t piss... Alas, when we mad lions killed the Quartet in the Premier League, I didn¡¯t seem to say anything? It¡¯s not a shame, these people are getting shameless as they live!¡±


    Seeing Arthur sigh, Aldridge chuckled.


    Arthur asked curiously: "What are you laughing at?"


    "Smile you are simple."


    "I am simple?"


    "Ok."


    "Are you scolding me?"


    ¡°No, I¡¯m just telling the truth. Their shamelessness is a fact, but they¡¯re not arrogant, they just want to increase their visibility and exposure to their team. In the past few years, Millwall and they have gone Is a way."


    Arthur looked at the smiling Aldridge and wondered: "One way? I rarely interview all year round. I haven''t made any arrogant declarations."


    Aldridge bite his face and said unclearly: "They made a high-profile appearance when the team had a good record, made some high-profile comments, and let the outside world pay attention to their team. In a sense, this is a publicity strategy. If you have a good record, However, the club has no voice and will soon be forgotten, because it is difficult for you to ensure that the team has always performed well, and the outside world''s eyes will soon change, they just want to make a sensation with speech. What about Millwall, It¡¯s not by mouth, but by actual actions in this area of ??publicity. Our public relations department has been working hard to establish good relations with major media, using some exclusive news in exchange for their publicity in the news, otherwise , Why do you think the outside world talks about Millwall every day? There are so many strong European teams, there are goals every week, and every time there are strong teams playing a winning streak or exciting game, Millwall has a 6-game winning streak. , 7-game winning streak can be hyped, Hitler¡¯s propaganda minister, do you know who it is?"


    Arthur''s chubby face shook and said, "I came out after finishing high school. I know Hitler. I don''t know who his propaganda minister is, but you dropped out after graduating from elementary school. do you know?"


    The bread in Aldrich¡¯s mouth was sprayed out, and he grinned after wiping his mouth: ¡°Goebbels. He has a good knowledge of public propaganda, for example, if he said that if he wanted to lie, he would lie in a lie! Because lie in a lie often has a certain credibility Power. From a psychological perspective, ordinary people have lied, but they all lie, they dare not lie, they subconsciously think that others do not dare, so when someone lie, they think that there is a certain Credibility. I¡¯m sitting here with you to talk about Bates and Ritzdale¡¯s remarks, believing that it is brazenly distorting the facts, Chelsea, Leeds United, and the real giants are a huge difference, but in Chelsea''s huge investment in succession, Leeds United''s sensational recruitment in the summer, supplemented by a good record in the background, they laid a huge lie, there will be some people who choose to believe or expect them, even if the mind remains calm, but will continue to pay attention to Chelsea and Leeds United, see if they can succeed, waiting to puncture their lies, but the result is not important at all, the attention and continuous attention effect that can bring Chelsea and Leeds United is what Bates and Ritzdale want most. !"


    Arthur narrowed her eyes and said to herself: "These two **** are quite a set! It turns out that this is the case, I thought they were shameless, it seems that I am ignorant."


    Aldridge laughed happily, and Arthur was like this. He scolded people painfully, but he never pretended to be a nobility, not a deep, or a gentleman.


    He began to eat breakfast, and he cleared his doubts, and there was nothing to be angry about, even though the Leeds United chairman made him feel uncomfortable with remarks beyond Millwall.


    "Son, do we also lie occasionally? For example, Millwall will become the most powerful club in the entire earth, the universe, and the entire history of mankind?"


    Cough cough cough.


    Aldridge burst into tears with laughter. He had a terrible breakfast this morning, but he was in a good mood.


    When he cleared up the mess in front of him, he sipped his lips and mellowed his throat. He turned to Arthur and smiled: "Goebbels also has a famous saying that the goal of propaganda is only one, that is to conquer the masses!"


    Arthur chewed the sausage and asked, "What do you mean? Has something to do with us?"


    Aldridge explained to him: "We tirelessly promote and make the team uninterrupted to become the focus of discussion. After the accumulation of days and months, Millwall will be deeply rooted in the hearts of people. Even if a person who does not care about football may hear Mill in the future. Wall''s name will know that this is a football club, and no matter what position the fans will know, Millwall, in order to keep up with the mainstream, will also roughly understand Millwall, this is the purpose of our propaganda, of course It is impossible to complete in a short period of time, it takes a time to accumulate, compared to the high-profile publicity strategy that actually cannot be fulfilled. I think this is the most correct way."


    The means of propaganda are varied, but there are also differences between right and evil.


    It¡¯s just like hype. Some people are famous for their scandals, and some people rely on real talents. This kind of story is played every day in England. A woman who has become famous is like a crucian carp. Can''t continue to be brilliant.


    After listening, Arthur nodded and said, "Son, I support you and I believe you can do it."


    After having breakfast, Aldridge chatted with his parents for a while and went to work with ease.


    The game to Leeds United took place on Sunday, today I completed the morning training at the club, and the pre-match preparation meeting was held in the afternoon. When Aldridge was preparing to participate in the pre-match press conference, the Premier League war report on Saturday also came out. .


    He doesn''t care what other teams play, but everyone else cares.


    Manchester United defeated Aston Villa by three goals at Old Trafford and washed down the White Hart Lane.


    Arsenal were still at home with the magpie Newcastle United. After Bobby Robson returned to the Premier League, Newcastle United''s record improved significantly, and he made Wenger suffer.


    Before the game with Leeds United, Leeds United slipped to the third place in the standings, and it was tied with Arsenal, one point behind Manchester United.


    Aldridge''s spiritual appearance at the press conference today is completely new. It used to be calm and calm. Occasionally it feels relaxed, but today it seems to be full of energy.


    When he walked into the venue, he felt a different aura. Before sitting down, he smiled at all the reporters present: "Hi, gentlemen, do you have anything to ask? Unfortunately, tomorrow is not the top battle. Leeds United dropped one place."


    The reporters were shocked, and they felt that from the young man''s mental appearance, he could feel the fighting spirit he exuded.


    Think about it too, Leeds United has been a bit crazy lately!


    Ritzdale''s remarks are still gone. People are the chairman. Imagine the future of the team and draw a pancake for the eagerly anticipated fans. What''s wrong with this?


    Which club¡¯s chairman doesn¡¯t often do such a lack of virtue that promises to earn applause?


    O''Leary of Kleeds United claimed that he won Millwall last season and remained undefeated. He has enough experience to deal with Aldridge and Millwall, which is a bit unpredictable.


    Ferguson, Wenger, and Chelsea¡¯s three coaches in recent years, including Keegan, who led Newcastle United to fight for the championship, who dare to pack a ticket and say that he can deal with Millwall? Everyone saves character in a low-key manner, and throws the pressure to Millwall. O''Reilly does not know whether it is to motivate the team, but actually rants!


    Oh, Keegan seems to have been crazy, and indeed eliminated Millwall in the single-season double cup, but what is the final result? Keegan was kicked directly to the coveted league title, unable to raise his head in front of his rival Ferguson.


    Not only was O''Reilly, Leeds United soldiers were preparing for this game in an interview and vowed that they would defeat the incredible Millwall at Elland Road Stadium.


    Players such as Alan Smith, Bowyer, Kewell and others were murderous.


    Instead, Millwall, such as Ferdinand, Mills, Duff, etc., will deliberately avoid this topic. I don¡¯t know if they are afraid of Millwall or not wanting to make evil with the old club.


    Aldridge is very happy today and has a high morale.


    Well, it''s good. I''m not afraid of no provocation, I''m afraid that the Premier League is all a group of counselors!


    It hasn''t been despised in a long time. The last person who despised him seemed to be Van Gaal.


    I have forgotten how many Barcelona hits.


    It doesn''t matter, the rising Leeds come to the door, let''s start a war with all our firepower!

 Chapter 450： Occupy Elland Road!

    The commander-in-chief is in a good state, and the reporters are happy when they see it, so that they can get a lot of news.


    Giancarlo witnessed the defeat of AC Milan in the middle of the week and was the first to raise his hand to ask questions today.


    "Millwall played in the Champions League in the middle of the week. Will this affect tomorrow''s game? Especially Millwall will have to play away."


    Aldridge replied with a smile on his face calmly: "It can''t be said that there is no impact at all, but this is what the strong teams must face every season. We have been participating in the European Championships in the past few years. The years of accumulated experience have made the team face intensive schedules, especially the short schedule between the European Wars and the league. We have a set of methods to cope with it. I believe that Millwall will play a good state tomorrow. No matter what the result is, I will not make excuses for the team in advance."


    Giancarlo nodded: "What about Millwall''s goal for tomorrow''s game? Although Leeds United''s performance in the past few years is not at the same level as Millwall, but since the beginning of this season, they have performed amazingly."


    Aldridge didn¡¯t want to reply directly: ¡°Millwall has only one goal in all competitions, and that is to win. Although not all competitions can be won by us, we just play every one with the determination to win. Games."


    Giancarlo stopped asking questions and smiled at Aldridge.


    It took a long time to get in touch with Aldridge for a long time. Naturally, I can understand what the young marshal is now. When answering the questions, it seems to be a murderous one.


    Richard of the "Daily Mail" has a lot of thoughts, and of course he has to add fuel and vinegar. He smiled and asked: "What do you think of Leeds United? Especially, the chairman of Leeds United seems to define Millwall as the goal of Leeds United catching up. ."


    In the old days, Aldridge doesn¡¯t expect to take the trouble, but today, he really talks about it.


    "I don¡¯t think it¡¯s surprising or weird. Millwall has won so many honors in recent years, especially after winning the Champions League, Leeds Lenovo surpassed Millwall, very good, which means they are aggressive, who will Do you hate an ambitious club? I like Leeds United. I really like them. They are young, passionate and full of energy, and the general psychology is normal. I hope to see new power in the Premier League, not every season. Millwall, Manchester United, Arsenal are fighting for the championship, I understand this mood, like you, Richard, you won¡¯t want to see your head boss stay in his place, you and your colleagues There will definitely be alternative ideas. If there is no such idea, then your company''s performance will decline all the way. This is the most basic rule of social progress. Competition! I like competition. Without competition, the strong will slowly become weaker. The Premier League The more intense the competition, the better Millwall will become stronger and, in turn, will make Millwall more competitive throughout Europe. So, I like Leeds United, now ranked third in the league, and hope they Don¡¯t leave behind, it¡¯s better to see them in the top of the standings next May."


    The reporters at the scene felt refreshed.


    The young master is different.


    Simply listening, I feel that Aldridge''s words are nothing.


    But if they think about it carefully, they can all find that Aldridge has always placed Millwall in the position of an absolute strong, and it is the fact that Leeds United is challenging them. This is an unspoken fact, but It''s definitely different when it''s declared, it''s a bit domineering.


    Richard asked with a smile: "If Leeds United ranked in the top of the standings next May, but it was in front of Millwall, would you still like them?"


    Aldrich spread his hands and said: "Of course, why not? In this way, they are equivalent to helping me find the team''s problem, but I question your assumption, unless God helps you, my team is seriously injured. Ill, if this is the case, Richard, you will regret it, I will go to your company to set a fire and put all the blame on you!"


    Richard and the reporters around laughed.


    "There are several Millwall veterans in the Leeds RUF. Will this be good for Millwall''s game tomorrow? Because of their technical characteristics, you definitely know better than other teams and know how to limit them better."


    "You are saying that you are rejecting O''Reilly''s work. Since the summer, he has been training a stronger team. Ferdinand is no longer Millwall''s Ferdinand, and Cahill is not Millwall''s Cahill. They have changed. We will face Leeds United with the same attitude towards other opponents. We will not take it lightly because we know more about Ferdinand and other players and think that the winning ticket is in hand."


    ...


    The next day, the major media focused on the battle between Leeds United and Millwall. The title of The Times is: Hall looks forward to the challenge!


    Millwall was energetic and headed to Yorkshire. The game was hard to find. The Elland Road stadium was full. One hour before the game began, Leeds United fans went from all directions to the stadium. They were even more aggressive than the soldiers.


    Hall is looking forward to the challenge?


    They disdain.


    It seemed as if Leeds United was not worth mentioning in Aldridge''s eyes.


    Imagine that when Tang Liwei created the flourishing age of white roses, Millwall still didn''t know which pit was holding it!


    In the opinion of Leeds United fans, the current Leeds United is not a rise, but a revival!


    Compared to history, although they are not comparable to the traditional three giants such as Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool, they are definitely more valuable than the new upstarts like Millwall in recent years.


    In street interviews, most fans of Leeds United responded to the expected expectations of the game basically the same.


    "We beat them last year. They are nothing. This year we are stronger than last year. And at home, we will definitely win the game!"


    Yeah, they won Millwall 11 months ago and were in the league.


    There is nothing wrong with this statement. If the fans of ordinary research games look at the history, they will also find the history of Leeds United defeating Millwall 1-0 at home last season.


    Everyone seems to have forgotten what the state of Millwall was at the time and what the general environment was like at the time.


    Millwall multi-line combat is a fatigued division, and the two main forces of the team were absent at the time, and Henry was still recovering from injury.


    Leeds United is stronger than last year?


    Is Millwall the same as last year or weakened?


    When Millwall approached Elland Road Stadium, the home fans greeted them with a high-profile declaration of war.


    Among the dizzying slogans in the stands, there were those who supported Leeds United players and those who supported O''Reilly, and the overwhelming majority were the declaration to defeat Millwall.


    Aldridge sat quietly in the locker room. After the players warmed up and returned to the locker room, he stood up and remained silent for half a minute. After the players changed their jerseys, he walked in front of Henry and looked down at each other, asking lightly : "Tieri, tell me, what is the goal today?"


    Henry Ang looked up at Aldridge and took it for granted: "Winning the game."


    "wrong."


    Aldridge turned his head to look at Ronaldinho again and asked, "What is the goal today?"


    Ronaldinho grinned: "Let Leeds United always remember us."


    Aldridge snapped his fingers, then turned to look at Makelele and asked, "Claude, what is the goal today?"


    Makelele said with a blank expression: "Destroy this stadium, make it a hell, let all the players, fans, coaches, and **** people of Leeds United get into pain, not May I recall this day!"


    Who is the most exciting to play Leeds United?


    Makelele!


    Aldridge looked around, Southgate, Nedvide, and other players who had followed him for many years in the South and North Wars had already been grasped, and their heads were serious.


    "I wouldn¡¯t say how powerful Leeds United is. If you take it lightly, you will be punished. Then the **** is a lie, and the kids won¡¯t believe it! Who are we? Millwall, the number of championship trophies we have received over the years is The number of starting 11s in Bilds United adds up! We are champions, we are kings, we are the targets of countless teams, Leeds United, they are just one of the challengers!"


    Aldrich said there was a pause here, and the players nodded involuntarily.


    They also never feel that there is a difference between Leeds United and Tottenham, opponents like Aston Villa. If it is to be said, it is that Leeds United has been in the limelight recently, and can compare their team''s winning record since the new season. The other party has no capital to be proud of.


    Aldridge continued: "Leeds United is a challenger, we can imagine how they would affect them if they beat us today? Especially how would their players'' self-confidence be affected? That would give They are greatly encouraged, just like the morale impact of the defeat of Manchester United, Arsenal, Barcelona, ??Juventus and other strong enemies in the past few years, and you? Become a loser and only leave York County, can we raise our heads again, and come here, in front of Leeds United fans, do we still have the dignity of the strong? Do we have the confidence of the strong? Thinking of these, we have no escape route, only one option, tell me, loud Tell me, what is it?"


    "win!"


    "Yes, it is to win, to win, to continue to win, I can''t accept losing points on Leeds United again today, if you can accept, then take off the jersey and get out. We want to tell all challengers, throne, not who Can sit up! Champions, not easy to give away! Leeds United? Ha ha ha, which one of them is stronger than us? Top event experience? Team understanding? Unity and will? We are not here to fight one An ordinary league, by no means, we are here to teach Leeds United, and tell them a reality: Leeds United, from the really strong, the road is still far, far away! We came and occupied Elland Road Stadium, Is here to let them know what is the real top team, let their fans see the gap with us, let their players feel the dominance of the championship team! Challenge us? Leeds United''s white Daydream should wake up!"


    Aldrich was imposing, and the players also became murderous, shouting again and again to teach Leeds United!


    When walking out of the locker room, Aldridge took 10 seconds to calm down and then walked out of the player''s passage with a smile. There are no opportunities for Ferdinand, Cahill and other Leeds United players to say hello to him.


    Today, Aldridge does not want to reminisce about old times.


    After entering the stadium, under the bright sunshine, Oddridge heard the call of the fans of Leeds United. The noisy stand was like a set stage, waiting for the players to appear on stage to sing.


    In the past years, Millwall was over-distracted in the European War and will be relaxed from time to time in the league, but this year, Millwall can easily face it at least in the European War group stage, without having to be over-distracted. After all, the group qualifying is loose, European War The competition intensity of the group stage also declined, so today, Millwall can definitely come up with the best state and the strongest strength, and come here to really compete with Leeds United.


    In front of the coach seat, O''Reilly cheered many fans in the nearby stands.


    Aldridge stood in front of the visiting coach¡¯s bench with his hands behind him. He could hear the fans in the stands looking for O''Reilly, just like when he coached Millwall in the early days, but now he does not have the former kind at the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium. Fanatic, because crazy lion fans are accustomed to Aldridge, like their friends, family, and a part of life. Perhaps, when Aldridge is not there, it will cause a huge response.

 Chapter 451： Believe in yourself and work miracles

    "Hello everyone, the 13th round of the Premier League focus battle Leeds United vs Millwall is about to start. This is really a young contest. The two teams have only one player over the age of 30 in the starting list, and the oldest is three. Ten-year-old Rad Bay, Leeds United ranked third in the league, 10 points away from their today''s opponent, Premier League defending champion Millwall, of course they want to beat Millwall at home to shorten the point gap, and also be able to regain The second place in the league standings, and this situation is also the result that their rivals Manchester United most want to see. It has to be said that Manchester United and Arsenal must also pay attention to this game. Arsenal have already fought in the first half of the league. In the middle of being bloodbathed by Millwall, Manchester United definitely hope that when they play against Millwall, the gap between the two teams'' points should be kept in single digits..."


    The blue-and-white battle on the field today really gave people a very positive visual sense. The players were full of enthusiasm and a youth storm seemed to be brewing on the court.


    Leeds United started 451, or 433.


    Goalkeeper: Martin.


    Guards: Kelly, Ferdinand, Radbe, Hart.


    Midfielders: Bowyer, Bresiano, Cahill, Duff, Kewell.


    Forward: Smith.


    Standing on the sidelines, Aldridge''s eyes swept through the players of Leeds United, and his chances of winning the game increased by one point.


    why?


    Because the starting lineup sent out by the opponent gives Audridge the feeling of only one: Yelang arrogant!


    On the back line, both of the full-backs are full-backs with strong assist capabilities, Hart and Kelly, who were born as forwards in their early years, have also appeared in the front-back before. This kind of full-backs have very strong assist capabilities, but the problem is, What about defense?


    In the midfield line, Bresiano, Bowyer, Cahill, Cahill should play the midfielder, can play the role of shadow forward in the offense, assist Smith, but there is not even a pure defensive midfielder in the midfield!


    In the first 12 rounds of the league, Leeds United played very well, the offensive storm was ruined, and a wave of winning streak was even more jaw-dropping. It is estimated that the league ranking and the good record that exceeded expectations have made O''Leary unbalanced.


    He may have forgotten how the record of one win and one draw against Millwall came last season, and what did he rely on? It is definitely not a brave attack, but an extreme defensive counterattack!


    After the game started, Leeds United started to launch a mad attack, and Millwall played on the scene, which lasted for 5 minutes, and within 5 minutes, they had 6 shots!


    The Leeds fans in the stands cheered and the game entered their expected rhythm from the beginning.


    Leeds United, beloved white rose, great!


    O''Reilly was a little annoyed that the six-foot shot missed the door frame, but the team could create an opportunity to prove that the team had the advantage. He inadvertently looked at Aldridge not far from the next door. The opponent was calm. It''s no hurry to put your free hands behind your back.


    Should Aldridge be in a hurry?


    Of course not. On the road, it is necessary to give the team some time to enter the state of the game. Besides, the opening tactics are the pre-match tactics. This is a completely opposite tactical arrangement to the opening attack of AC Milan.


    What''s more, Leeds United''s 6-foot shots are almost all shots. The players ran into the position and started directly. They did not do the next step at all. The quality of the shots can be imagined. The team''s defense did not expose the big shots and give the opponents absolutely. Before the good opportunity, if Aldridge was in a hurry to get angry, the coach has been in vain in recent years.


    He was still a little bit happy at the moment.


    Without giving Liz some sweetness, how can the other party obediently expose his life door?


    In the 7th minute of the game, when Kelly''s forward-back was coming up with an assist and was going to pass Zambrotta, Zambrotta did not hesitate to steal and succeed.


    After Leeds United defended against emptiness, there were three players in the second half, two central defenders and a goalkeeper.


    Regardless of three, seven, twenty-one, Zambrotta passed straight to Ronaldinho.


    As soon as Ronaldinho took the ball, the situation on the court completely changed.


    When Glenn Carr took the ball to break through, it gave a great visual shock, as if the entire stadium was going backwards, and Ronaldinho took the ball at the moment, and the football field was like a track and field race.


    Players in blue clothing run significantly faster than players in white clothing.


    Nedved, Henry, Larson, and Ronaldinho, the four started at full speed, and the speed was very good. The fans of Leeds United in the stands were tense, and they could naturally look at the overall situation. At the same time, the three players of Millwall Center and the right side overtake one after another, and the speed is astounding. The players of Leeds United chasing and defending are obviously 108,000 miles behind.


    Aldridge grinned on the sidelines, as if showing **** fangs.


    Leeds United does not play defensive counterattack?


    Half-time sprint, how many of you guys are faster than mine?


    Millwall''s counterattack was like a lion preying on the grassland.


    Ferdinand and Radbe stepped back and forth, but they retreated as if they didn''t have a small compass with a fast speed.


    In the first ten yards of the penalty area, Ronaldinho directly behind Ferdinand. Ferdinand turned around. At first glance, he didn''t see the ball. He saw Henry''s back. He couldn''t reach the opponent''s jersey with his hand, so he simply moved. Hand gestures for the offside.


    Henry''s first option to touch the ball is to pass the ball. The inverted triangle returns to the top of the penalty area. The follower Nedvide touches the ball. Radebe grabs the ball. Nedved goes straight to the right and Larson shoots the horse. Come, go to the meeting alone!


    Facing goalkeeper Martin, Larson observed Ferdinand''s position, and then returned the ball to the left of the penalty area. After the pass, he quickly withdrew, beware of being offside.


    Martin had moved to the right of the goal in order to block Larson. Larson passed the ball unexpectedly again. Ronaldinho touched the ball just after entering the penalty area, then a volley shot sent the ball into the goal and approached him. On this side, Martin didn''t even flutter, obviously too far away, unless he could fly.


    "Millwall''s decisive counterattack! Ronaldinho opened the team''s first record, and Leeds United paid a painful price for their excessive offense!"


    Elland Road Stadium is silent.


    Today''s game, Leeds United officials are really shameless, only gave Millwall less than two thousand tickets!


    They were also bullish. When no one had paid attention before, the home tickets were not clean. The tickets for the visiting team must be how much. But now, in order to create the best home atmosphere, they are particularly stingy to the away team of the strong team. Tickets.


    The **** Lion fans who came to cheer on the road did not celebrate wildly, and everything seemed to them as a matter of course.


    Brady was wearing a Millwall jersey with his arms standing on the stands with a smile on his face. Standing next to him was Sol. As a photo reporter, he was taking pictures with a high-power camera today. Brady saw his camera lens pair. The standard is the stands, asking curiously: "What are you doing?"


    Saul put the camera down and smiled: "It''s interesting to shoot the reaction of Leeds fans."


    "Hahaha, yes, it should be taken. Before and after the game, the photos must be shown to me."


    "of course."


    Crazy Lion fans also dismissed Leeds United.


    Challenge us?


    Are you worthy?


    The media is extremely important in rendering this battle, and fans of crazy lions don''t buy it.


    If playing Leeds United is all tense, Millwall won the championship in these years.


    O''Reilly was a little dissatisfied with the situation where the team lost the ball first. He let the team stabilize first.


    After the kick-off, Leeds United did indeed conservatively, and Millwall players were not in a hurry on the court. They were used to leading, and they knew how to play when leading.


    After 10 minutes of conservativeness, Leeds United started to push forward again. Just after halftime, Makelele cut off Cahill''s pass, glanced and found that Pirlo was strictly guarded by Bresiano, and the wing players also All were closely guarded, Nedved was retreating, and Bowyer followed closely.


    Makelele looked at this posture, and suddenly his blood was upset.


    Laozi will also take the ball, okay?


    So, a very strange scene appeared.


    Makelele took the ball forward alone, from the backcourt to the midfield and frontcourt, directly traversed the opponent''s midfield defense line, and no one stopped!


    O''Reilly looked angry on the sidelines.


    Oh shit!


    Before the game, the defensive tasks were indeed arranged so that the disciples kept their eyes firmly on Pirlo, Nedved, and the trident on the front line.


    However, Makelele doesn''t play cards according to common sense, you **** a pure defensive midfielder, rushing with the ball! Are you afraid of losing the ball and being hit back?


    It can only be said that a very wide straight corridor appeared in front of Makelele, and Millwall players used the width of the field to the extreme.


    Ronaldinho and Larsson pulled the side, the full-backs followed inside, Nedvide also pulled outwards to pull the air, Pirlo ran forward, the two took away the other two midfielders, Cahill and Kewell realized that Makelele was chasing forward again, too late!


    Makelele took the ball all the way to the penalty area, then, what?


    It seems that the Leeds players have not recovered, and they still have no defense against Makelele.


    Makelele didn''t think too much, and he no longer continued to take the ball forward. He couldn''t find the very detailed route of the ball, simply, come by himself!


    Believe in yourself and work miracles!


    Because there was no interference, he had plenty of time and adjusted the shot. Outside the penalty area, he vigorously volleyed the ball with a low foot, and at first glance, this long shot is really reliable!


    The goalkeeper Martin rushed to block the ball, and the inward Larson jumped up to stop the ball against the popping ball chest, waiting for the ball to land, volleyed his leg!


    Martin has fallen to the ground, as long as this shot is not too outrageous, it should be no problem.


    when!


    The ball actually hit the bottom edge of the beam from the bottom and bounced out again. Radebe faced the ball and found the ball bouncing towards himself. He almost swung his own goal and subconsciously headed the ball and the ball bounced behind him.


    Nedved kept up with the ball and volleyed!


    After the shot came out, Nedved wanted to cry without tears, he couldn''t bear to look directly, the ball actually hit the outside of his calf, and flew to the left rear.


    Makelele saw the ball missed after a long-range shot. Larson started to retreat when he made another shot, fearing that he would be counterattacked. As a result, Nedved''s volley volley kicked, and he had 100,000 why in his heart!


    Brother, Nedved, you turned your back to me in front of me on the right, shot with a foot, the ball flew towards me!


    Makelele subconsciously stopped the ball in the chest, and then he didn''t get up without waiting for the ball like Larsson and Nedved, waited for the ball to be controlled by the foot, and then hit the spot.


    Martin had already climbed from the ground. Makelele''s second shot was to hit the middle of the goal. It seemed to be no threat. Martin was already set to prepare to hold the ball firmly.


    But halfway, Ferdinand stretched his leg to block, the ball changed direction, after refraction, he flew into the bottom left corner of the goal, dead end!


    Martin immediately waved his arms and snarled at all his teammates.


    You **** sleepwalking!


    Let the opponent take a ball from the backcourt to the penalty area directly to the penalty area without interference, then shot from the opponent one after another!


    Finally, there is no way to help opponents break the door!

 Chapter 452： Leeds United, great!

    Millwall''s second goal left the commentator speechless.


    From Makelele''s ball to the penalty area, he kicked a long shot, and finally the ball was blocked by Ferdinand. The whole process was between 6 and 7 seconds.


    In the course of these 6-7 seconds, whether it is Makelele''s first long-range shot or Larsson''s supplementary shot, even Nedved''s volley volley''s movements and opportunities seem very threatening. The single long shot of Clare made everyone think that Millwall''s attack was coming to an end, but the goal was scored...


    "Cough, maybe Ferdinand still misses the days of playing for Millwall. At that moment, he saw the familiar dark blue jersey, saw Makelele, Larson, Nedved so hard to hit the ball. Enter, so he extended a foot to help them, this goal is counted on Makelele, but the biggest hero should be Ferdinand, I hope Ferdinand can now recognize his jersey color, otherwise, Leeds I am afraid that it will not be as simple as 0:2 behind."


    Makelele saw that he had scored a goal, and happily ran to the sidelines to celebrate, especially at the Elland Road Stadium, to demonstrate to the home fans in the stands. Those fans who had insulted him, he was here to celebrate and sing and dance. Dance, sing and revel on the body of Leeds United!


    O''Reilly bowed his head in the second moment of losing the ball, as if thinking of countermeasures.


    Aldridge smiled with his hands on his hips.


    He is very happy.


    This kind of happiness is different. If he faces a team with a bus, and the team succeeds in breaking through the wasteland, he will be happy, but he will not have the idea of ??opponents asking for trouble or disgrace.


    However, Leeds United dare to play the attack, Millwall less than two consecutive cities in two minutes, so that Audridge is extremely happy, perhaps, because of the stupidity of the opponent to dig the grave from the strategy.


    O''Reilly hadn''t figured out a countermeasure yet, and he looked sad.


    Leeds United reopened the ball, and they actively attacked forward. As a result, they missed a straight pass after halftime. Neal snatched the ball in front of Smith. This kind of long-distance ground forward looking forward, The center defender is given space and time to grab, unless the striker also actively withdraws the response, for example, the Millwall forward is required to do so, and must never wait for the ball on the front line.


    It is a pity that Alan Smith, a killer known as a genius by England, Odridge never thinks that he has anything extraordinary, what a desperate title such as Saburo, this is far away from the work of a striker, and time goes backwards. For a hundred years, the desperate Saburo is typical of English football, but now, even if it is successful only by fighting, the standard of success on the football field is too low.


    After Neal steals the ball, it passes diagonally to Schneider on the wing. Schneider starts an outbreak, directly breaks through Duff''s defensive line, and then crosses forward and back to Pirlo. The latter looks at the fire and is now really on the field. At home, he did not hesitate to kick the ball to the left of the frontcourt with a diagonal pass.


    Pirlo''s rare thing is that he can give the ball according to the characteristics of his teammates'' running position. Some players are used to the ball. He gives the ball to the foot. Some players are used to the ball in advance. He will pass the ball in advance. Terrible.


    Ronaldinho''s running position is inward, the ball''s rolling trajectory is on the route of his running position. At the moment of receiving the ball, Ronaldinho also got rid of the defender Kelly''s defense at the same time. Facing Ferdinand directly!


    Ferdinand''s spirit is highly concentrated. Between the electric light and the flint, Radebe is marking Henry. Between him and Radebe, someone intervenes. Ferdinand knows who it is without guessing: Nedved!


    Therefore, he judged that Ronaldinho would pass the ball and put it behind Nedved. When his center of gravity tilted, Ronaldinho spun the ball directly into the penalty area unexpectedly and wiped him off easily!


    When Ferdinand gritted his teeth and chased to the bottom line to block, Ronaldinho suddenly stopped again. The rhythm stopped. Ferdinand stretched his foot to break the ball. Ronaldinho gently poke the ball in front of the goal. The ball rolls between Ferdinand''s legs In the past, Nedvide scored the ball at the front point, and the shooting angle was almost no, but he had attracted Radebe''s defense, so he knocked the ball back to the position and pulled back to Henry on the small penalty line. Henry was right The goal was vigorously volleyed. The ball flew into the goal from a meter next to Martin. He still didn''t respond. It was so close. Who has the time to judge?


    "Henry scored again! Millwall scored two goals in 1 minute! Is this Leeds United going to be blood-washed? In 20 minutes and 20 minutes, three goals were lost! They didn''t even shoot a shot from the main frame. !"


    Henry wanted to thank Nedved after scoring a goal, but the Czechs evaded, Henry chased, and Nedved again, the two seemed to play cat and mouse... Ronaldinho and Larson also joined In the pursuit of Nedved, it was finally Pirlo who unexpectedly hugged Nedved, and then they played Delaware on the field.


    Ferdinand looked at the Millwall players in the distance, frantically arrogant and arrogant in the distance.


    When he played Millwall in the past, he witnessed the team sweeping England unstoppably. At that time, he felt that his opponents were all dishes. Today, he only knew that he was also a dish.


    O''Reilly still has no countermeasures, but he keeps clapping on the sidelines to encourage the players, no matter how tactically adjusted, at least mentally, they cannot be destroyed by opponents.


    The team scored the third goal and Aldridge still seemed calm.


    He just turned around and spread his hands towards the coach seat, with a slightly radiant smile on his face.


    Then he looked to the stands of Elland Road Stadium.


    The faces of Leeds United fans came into view, Aldridge silently apologized in his heart.


    Sorry, really, sorry!


    I lied at the press conference yesterday!


    I like Leeds United?


    Sorry, I don''t care what kind of bird Leeds United looks like!


    Whether it''s **** or gold, it has nothing to do with me!


    But since Millwall is here, we will continue to smile on the body of Leeds United, continue to be in a state of incompetence, and God will kill God!


    Also, please forgive my public relations rhetoric.


    I like to praise opponents, all opponents, I will send the highest praise, even if it is hypocritical.


    This is my philosophy as a head coach. I praise my opponents, not to be a gentleman, but to be selfish and to make my team''s success more dazzling.


    Even if Leeds United **** is not as good, I will brag about you and beautify you. In this way, my team defeats you and wins only make sense. If I devalue you to nothing, what is the point of defeating you?


    So, the white roses in Yorkshire, you are really, really, really powerful!


    Three goals were conceded in 20 minutes. Regardless of how arrogant the pre-match arrogance was, all pride was shattered to the point.


    Mo said that offensive, think about how to defend first.


    O''Reilly sacrificed his tactics last season and defended his counterattack!


    At this moment, he was probably awakened by reality and realized that he came to play against Millwall and wanted to rely on the offensive to suppress the opponent.


    Defensive counterattack, no matter whether the counterattack can break through the opponent''s door, at least don''t drop the ball is the top priority.


    When Leeds United retired and started to play a defensive counterattack, the game''s initiative was completely under Millwall''s control.


    Although the opponent did not have a pure midfielder, Cahill and Bresiano had achieved good results before retreating to the back line.


    In particular, Desperately Saburo Smith tried hard to defend, which played an obvious harassing role on Millwall''s offense.


    However, this is based on his sacrifice of physical fitness and the role of the forward.


    The articles that Duff and Cowell can make on the wing in counterattacks are very limited, because the midfielders are back, and Smith counterattacks are also difficult to support. Leeds United counterattacks are often brought to the wing players. The Millwall defender then either intercepted the ball, or could not find the receiving point to return the ball to Millwall, and even had no chance of kicking the goal.


    Bowyer, a midfielder who is also hailed as a genius in England, seems to be in touch with genius today, and even the talent may not be called.


    Millwall took the advantage to conduct comprehensive oppression, and he repeatedly obtained the opportunity to position the ball in front of the penalty area. Ronaldinho kicked one and Pirlo kicked two in the first three direct free kicks.


    In the fourth free kick, Pirlo took the penalty. He kicked a free kick that was actually not ideal, but hit the wall and refracted and flew into the goal.


    Martin picked up the ball from the goal for the fourth time, and the whole person''s expression looked numb.


    "At the end of the first half, defending champion Millwall led Leeds United 4-0 at home. Reminiscent of Millwall''s state since the new season, if the whole game score is this result, I believe many people will not be surprised. However, they actually completely destroyed Leeds United in just 20 minutes, the league leader, the third away game against the league, and the battle was resolved in 20 minutes. This is a situation that no one can think of. We are not doubting whether Leeds United can be in the second half. Equalizing the score, everything is possible on the football field, but from the scene, after 30 minutes, Leeds United did not have a shot. The hope that they can score 4 goals is very slim."


    After the halftime break, before the start of the second half, Aldridge used two substitutions.


    Lampard came on and replaced Pirlo.


    Grenchard came on for Ronaldinho.


    These two substitutions made the Leeds United players angry.


    Millwall¡¯s 60-70 minute substitution is no longer a news. Many strong teams will do so after leading two goals early, but the substitution will be made at halftime, and the two will change. Leeds United seems to have suffered a great deal of humiliation.


    But they also have no better way to break through Millwall''s gate to save the game.


    In the second half, Aldridge saw Leeds United players start to foul frequently, using killing tactics!


    When Alan Smith shoveled Makelele from behind and caused the other side to be injured, Aldridge applauded coldly to the stands.


    Keep applauding, and finger Smith continues to applaud.


    Leeds United, great!


    That''s it, you can only treat the game in this way.


    Aldrich did not go to the theory with O''Reilly, nor complained to the fourth official. He walked to the center line, facing O''Reilly, and likewise applauded the other side.


    The live shots locked Aldridge for a long time, and all viewers knew that the young master was satire on Leeds United, humiliating each other in a way that was not angry.


    Smith was sent off with a red card and spit at him when passing by Aldridge. His movement was very obvious. The sputum fell on the sleeve of Aldridge''s suit. Millwall''s coaching staff and substitute players all rushed out to surround him After Smith, before the referee came, Aldridge took the initiative to separate Millwall''s people. Then, in full view, he took off his suit and dropped it on the ground, then smiled dismissively, turned around, and walked back to the sidelines , Concerned about Makelele''s injury.


    Makelele was shoveled from the back. He actually hid, but he slammed his foot in a hurry. At the end, he and Gattuso whispered for a long time, and patted each other¡¯s chest to cheer on the other. He was leaving the field. Before walking into the player''s channel, he held one hand high and compared four fingers.

 Chapter 453： friendship all way long

    After the substitution at Millwall midfield, although this may seem to be a humiliation to Leeds United, Millwall is about to retire with Ming Jin, and there are still 45 minutes in the game. They actively let the two main players take a break because they have already Has achieved a huge lead.


    Whether he was young or arrogant, when Smith recklessly shoveled Makelele behind his back and was sent off, he spit at Aldridge who applauded. His behavior angered all Millwall players.


    The bench players sitting on the bench, Ronaldinho and Pirlo who were replaced, and the members of the coaching staff, they are no longer an expression of laughter and laughter, and the 11 players on the court are even more cold-faced. iceberg.


    Originally, they really want to slow down the rhythm and play, as long as they have the right to play and defend well, this is enough to let them win the game, but now, they forget the score, 4:0, go to hell, the game, only now Start!


    "Alan Smith paid a red card for his unsettled behavior. He was a clear malicious foul after shoveling. He may be subject to an additional penalty after the game, and he spit at Millwall coach Hall on the end. The bad behavior of water will also inevitably bring him more punishment. This kind of behavior will not be appeased by the FA. O''Reilly made a substitution adjustment and replaced Duff with Mills. Now they play 5 Guard, 0 forward."


    Aldridge took off the suit he threw on the ground and was picked up by the staff at Leeds United Stadium. Then he walked and placed it on the seat of the visiting coach, but just after he put it down, Klinsmann took the suit and dropped it directly to the ground. .


    The staff had no choice but to pick up the suit again and bring it into the player aisle. In any case, this could not be so conspicuous on the grass. The audience who witnessed the process would think of Smith¡¯s unethical behavior as soon as they saw it. This will definitely have a negative impact on Leeds United.


    Aldridge stood on the side of the court with his face crossed and expressionless, and he did not look at Aureli next door.


    Makelele was injured, Gattuso replaced, Millwall¡¯s three substitutions have been used up, Aldridge has no cards to play, and now Leeds uses a five-back to prevent the ball from being lost, and there is no power to counterattack.


    It was supposed to be closed, four opponents were poured in the first half. In the second half, Millwall couldn''t commit any more desperation with the opponent. The two teams were not at the same level. Millwall also pursued more than the opponent. They wanted to compete for the championship. At the same time, we must also consider the European War. Aldridge must maintain the physical fitness of the players and maintain their status. Try not to let them continue to erupt on the court in the short term. This will easily make the status a bit in the next stage. Down.


    But Leeds United only wanted to die with Millwall, holding the illusory strong team consciousness not to be humiliated, but within the rules, limited ability, outside the rules, played a killing tactics.


    This cannot be tolerated, absolutely not!


    It would be nice if Materazzi was on the court.


    If Aldrich thought about it, it was not that he felt that a villain like Materazzi could give Leeds a little color on the court. He thought more about tactical changes.


    Materazzi can directly reach the strike line on the field. As long as Aldrich reaches out his finger and then points to the striker line, Materazzi can immediately understand that his big tall and header ability is The inherent advantage of the column center is that it doesn''t matter if you don''t participate in defense.


    Now Millwall is in control of the midfield and is oppressive at halftime. Although Leeds United has one less player, it has one more guard and a defensive line. However, it can frequently rely on the advantage of the number of people.


    In the 60th minute of the game, Aldridge no matter whether the game is still in progress, he shouted directly to the court: "Lucas! Lucas!"


    Neil and Southgate are honestly staying in the middle of the circle, they are leisurely enough, even if the other counterattack, it is often a layup ball, high ball they grab the drop point, the ground pass has Lampard and Gattuso intercepted, and Leeds United could not organize an effective counterattack.


    Neal heard Aldridge''s shouts and looked at the situation in front of the court. He felt strange. The game was still in progress. The boss suddenly called him. Are you afraid of his distraction?


    When he saw Aldridge beckoning at him, he jogged past.


    Aldridge waited for him to come to the front and began to arrange the next task for him in detail.


    He let Neal push to the front line as a fixed-point forward, regardless of whether it has an actual role, but multiple people can interfere with the Leeds back line and also give Henry a cover.


    To put it bluntly, it''s just a **** stick...


    He must not be able to directly threaten the opponent''s goal with a high point like Materazzi, but after hearing the instructions and requirements of Audridge, he rushed up and was active in the area near Ferdinand and Radebe.


    This adjustment was considered by Fleet Street to be another tactical adjustment for Aldridge after the game.


    Neal does not run deep on the front line, that is, does not move forward. When Millwall''s attack hit the front of the penalty area, he did not care about the position of his teammates. His focus was only on the defense area of ??Ferdinand and Radbe. And then run horizontally towards the free zone.


    In this run, Ferdinand and Radbe will be distracted. Although they will not lose their positions easily, someone must go to Neil, who will? Midfielder, either Mark Bresciano, Cahill, or Bowyer.


    As a result, the barrier in front of the defender''s line was loosened, and the second adjustment made by Aldrich after adjusting Neal immediately took effect.


    Zambrotta, Schneider''s position premise, press up, and Lampard, formed a long-range threat from the three directions of the three people outside the penalty area.


    Glenshare dunked the ball on the left, swayed through Kelly, took a long shot in front of Mills, the ball was blocked by Radbe, Lampard grabbed the second drop header and gave the top to the left Zambo Rota, who also followed a long shot, hit Mills again. The ball bounced back and got by Glenchard. He didn''t kick again and chose a cross to give to Schneider.


    Two consecutive long shots disrupted Leeds United''s defense. They thought Schneider would also shoot long shots, but the Germans just looked at the empty penalty area. Larsson counter-offside successfully rolled the ball before the bottom line. Henry pressured Radebe to shake his head at the front point and the ball flew into the goal from the goalkeeper Martin''s hands.


    "In the 64th minute, Millwall scored the fifth goal of the game, 0:5, this is already a blood-washed score, and every minute will be a torment against Leeds United. Torture."


    After scoring a goal, Henry turned and walked towards the backcourt, raising one hand with a slap and five fingers.


    Aldridge raised his chin and looked dazed after seeing the goal.


    Leeds United, you **** came to you!


    Four minutes later, Bowyer got the second yellow card in the game for two consecutive fouls.


    "The referee is enough to take care of Leeds United. This is Bowyer''s seventh foul in the game. He received a yellow card in the first half. He just hit the body with the body when he couldn''t reach the goal. Germany, this is obviously a card-eating action. If the score is not 0:5, and Smith has already been sent off, he should get the second yellow card after the action of pushing Glennshire from behind. This time, the referee cannot Tolerate him again, otherwise, I really don¡¯t know what kind of situation the game will be heading towards. There are still more than 20 minutes left in the game. Leeds are five goals behind, and two less."


    O''Reilly was expressionless on the sidelines, replaced Kewell with Matteo, and added a defender.


    6 guards!


    Aldridge really wanted to applaud the opponent this time, well done, O''Reilly!


    The legend of Arsenal is different, mixed with Graham, the blue is better than the blue, 6 guards!


    If you have the ability, you can bet on the goal with a human wall!


    After the game, O''Reilly''s two consecutive substitution adjustments are considered to be the failure of the defeat. Despite the disadvantage of the number of people, the practice of increasing the guard has caused a greater disaster.


    Without a midfield interception, Millwall''s perimeter long-range shot is even more unscrupulous.


    In the last 20 minutes of the game, that scene was a nightmare for Leeds United players.


    The five of Glennshire, Neal, Henry, Nedved and Larson were on the front line and were marked by six defenders.


    Then, midfielder Cahill and Bresiano were played by Zambrotta, Lampard and Schneider!


    Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang...


    Millwall fired continuously in the periphery. Most of the long-range shots were blocked by the opponent''s human flesh. After the long-range shots flew, Leeds United kicked the goal but delayed the time.


    In the 81st minute, Lampard shot a long-range world wave and once again let Leeds United''s city gate fall. He tried 5 feet and finally got some results.


    Three minutes later, Nedvide was blocked from a long shot in front of the penalty area and the ball fell in the penalty area. Larsen, who made a supplementary shot, deceived the goalkeeper and sent the ball into the goal.


    In the last minute of the game, Neal picked up Schneider''s cross and scored the top of the goal with his knee.


    When the time on the big screen flickered from 89:59 to 90:00, the referee directly blew the whistle at the end of the game, regardless of whether the fourth official played stoppage time, he chose to end the game.


    At the beginning of the second half, the Leeds United fans could still be heard in the stands. After 0:5 plus Bowyer''s end, the atmosphere at Elland Road Stadium became very strange.


    Silence!


    Then, it turned into a burst of cheers, that is from the fans of the crazy lion, they are coaxing, playing, enjoying, carnival!


    As long as Millwall players touch the ball, there will be cheers in the stands, even counting, one, two, three, four... The more the Millwall passes, the louder the counting sound And this kind of sound like a wave will always end in a wave of uproar, which is Millwall''s shot.


    At the end of the game, Aldridge did not care about the stoppage time with the referee. He looked up at the stands of Elland Road Stadium. The large stands were already empty.


    Aldridge loosened his tie and turned coldly into the player channel.


    In the stadium box, Ritzdale was split.


    What did he witness in the two hours just now?


    what? !


    massacre!


    massacre!


    shame!


    The White Rose of Yorkshire, on this day, was ravaged by a London Lion. The score of 0:8 will also be included in the record of the Leeds United Club for a long time. In the Premier League record, unless they will encounter bigger The bloodstaining of the score, but then, it will definitely be another nightmare.


    Snapped!


    His shoulder was suddenly patted lightly, and he looked up at the fat palm with a bloodless face, and what he saw in the eyes was a rather happy feeling that made him very disgusted at the moment. Years face.


    Belly, Arthur, came to watch the game today and sat with Ritzdale.


    He patted the other person''s shoulder as if it was a kind of comfort. Ritzdale stared at Arthur staringly, but saw Arthur blowing his whistle as usual.


    The melody of the whistle was familiar, and Ritzdale watched as Arthur whistled and slowly waved goodbye to him.


    Ritzdale clenched his fists when Arthur disappeared outside the box, and his face was grim.


    Perhaps the most exciting thing for him is that the melody coming out of Arthur¡¯s whistle is "Friendly forever"...

 Chapter 454： A fart

    Leeds United 0:8 Millwall!


    The 13th round of the Premier League finale drama, the team ranked third in the standings against the league leader. This was originally the most concerned game for Premier League fans on this day. The media naturally focused on Elland Road. However, when the game ended, the Olympics Derridge walked into the post-match press conference, but the scene was quiet.


    In silence, all the reporters present stared at Aldridge with a complex look.


    No one congratulated him on his victory, and no one sympathized with Leeds United.


    On the contrary, after the extreme shock, the reporters who had stayed out of the game and had nothing to do with the result of the match score, but inadvertently gave birth to a chill in their hearts, there is a thought: terror!


    Before the game, public opinion believed that Leeds had a lot of fierce attacks, but considering the unbeaten record against Millwall last season, that is to facilitate the loss of the ZI League, it should not be so ugly, so embarrassed, so unbearable, in this way¡­¡­


    Leeds United, ranked third in the Premier League, was beaten to no avail and was slaughtered at home!


    Arsenal, who ranked third in the Premier League last season, has been bloodbathed by 5 goals at the Lions Stadium!


    Every day, people are asking: Can anyone **** stand up to stop Millwall?


    Have you ever expected Arsenal and Leeds United? Even when AC Milan came to Wembley, the outside world thought that Millwall was likely to encounter the first draw of the new season, losing? It is unlikely that Millwall has only one defeat in the history of European wars, and is still away, expecting Millwall to lose in Europe in London? It''s too unrealistic.


    This game of 0:8 is not only that Leeds United failed to fulfill the brazen words before the game, to see the lively and unsuspecting masses'' expectations, but also directly made the media have a tremendous change to Millwall.


    They are strong, this is a fact.


    But at this level, no one wants to believe, but now he has to admit it.


    Who can we count on?


    Manchester United?


    Before today, maybe people really look forward to Manchester United, but now, most people think that the Premier League is over!


    Yes, this season the Premier League is over, there will be no suspense for the champion, there is only one suspense in Millwall: can they set a new historical record?


    Aldrich didn¡¯t see a reporter asking a question after sitting down, and said lightly: "If you have no questions, then I will say goodbye first."


    As soon as his voice fell, the news conference suddenly changed dramatically.


    A second before, there was silence.


    At this moment, all the reporters present raised their hands and their expressions were eager to be crazy, asking questions.


    Aldrich spoke quickly and accepted questions, almost without any thinking time.


    "Can you think of a score like 0:8 before the game?"


    "Of course not. If I said that Millwall would win 8 Leeds United before the game, the people of the earth would think that my brain is in trouble, but I always believe that my players can beat their opponents to win."


    "If you didn''t replace Ronaldinho and Pirlo at halftime, would the score be even bigger?"


    "I don''t make assumptions about things that haven''t happened and can''t happen again."


    "Why did you replace these two players in the midfield?"


    "I have my considerations. I focus on the entire team. I have to bear the team''s past, now, and shoulder the future. Every decision I make will be from a global perspective."


    "You said you like Leeds United before the game, but in the game you applauded and ridiculed Leeds United because of Smith''s foul. Smith made an insulting move towards you when you end. Will you still like Leeds United?"


    When the focus of the question turned to Smith''s spitting event, Aldridge didn''t reply in the first place, but was silent.


    The reporter stared at him without blinking.


    Aldridge whispered after being silent for nearly half a minute: "No one is perfect, the team is the same. I like Leeds United¡¯s youth, passion and enthusiasm. However, I hate Leeds United on the court today, especially in the second half. The performance is dirty, ugly, and dare not face the competition like a real man. The football match is not a fist, not a savage, not a brutal, I regret the behavior of Smith, he thought that spitting on me, I Will it become dirty? Will I become dirty? In front of countless Premier League audiences around the world, he is tarnishing his own image."


    "Mr. Hall, will you forgive Smith''s actions?"


    "Forgive? I''m not angry, don''t jealous of him, forgive? Very strange question, you see a rogue on the street, would you care about the rogue? My life continues, my work continues, sorry, Smith I will forget him tomorrow, and he will not re-enter my sight until the next time I meet Leeds United."


    "No, Mr. Hall, my question is not clear, I just want to ask, will you forgive Smith for malicious fouls on the court?"


    Aldridge''s expression turned cold and said lightly: "Do I forgive him? It doesn''t matter. What matters is that the Premier League can tolerate such behavior? And it directly caused my player Makelele to be injured. Millwall would To file a complaint with the Football Association, please ask the Football Association to investigate the malicious fouls of Leeds United players in the game. I don¡¯t want to hear any more English football is a feature of fierce confrontation, and so on. If the essence of the fierce confrontation is indistinguishable, then English football is a joke, ha ha, tomorrow someone will say that I am playing a big word, not qualified to evaluate English football, but please these people shut their mouths, or you lead the team to defeat I, either, you¡¯d better not provoke me. I don¡¯t care whether you are a famous England national team or a legend of a rich generation. First of all, you should recognize the fact that Millwall is the Premier League champion and represents the pinnacle of English football. Millwall¡¯s record in the European War in the past three years proves that we are the representative of English football. I am not qualified? Now in English football, who else is qualified to attack this ugly evil?!¡±


    Aldridge thundered loudly, and was shocked.


    The reporters stared at Aldridge with a serious and irritated expression.


    Is this going to kill Smith?


    This is the first thought that emerged in the reporters'' heads.


    However, everyone soon denied this view in their hearts.


    If Aldridge is going to die with a player from the other side, it''s too small to be arrogant. Contrary to the remarks made by him that ignored Smith, is this not his own mouth?


    Things are definitely not so superficial.


    Soon, everyone realized that Aldridge actually played on the subject, to put pressure on the FA, increase punishment, and try to avoid the possibility of Millwall players encountering malicious fouls.


    There is no way, the technical advantage of the Premier League, the team with the best ball control advantage is Millwall. In other words, if they dominate the game and the opponent can¡¯t resist it with conventional means, then it can only be used by means other than conventional, even if the foul is fouled. It''s a normal phenomenon.


    In the past, technology flow met the power faction. If the technology flow prevailed, the power faction would be rushing to limit the opponent.


    Although the barriers of technology and strength have been completely broken, fusion and sublimation have been carried out, and new types of players have been spawned, but some means have not changed.


    The following day, the sensational football news of England was of course that Leeds United was slaughtered by Millwall at home. Not only was Leeds United unprecedentedly washed by blood, but also lost and lost, Elland Road became a "world purgatory", the fleet Street even edited a short film to record the massacre that happened on Elland Road that day.


    From the beginning of the Leeds United fans rushed to the stadium with enthusiasm, the enthusiasm of their confidence in the interview before the game was full, and the reaction of the fans in the stands when they lost the ball one by one in the game. The game was not over, the stands were empty, and the pictures of some **** fans tearfully adding to the sad day.


    Also making headlines are Alan Smith''s malicious fouls and unethical behavior of spitting on Aldridge.


    The FA immediately announced an investigation into Smith''s malicious foul.


    After returning to London, Aldridge asked the club to make two reports, one to submit to the FA, which recorded the frequent fouls of Leeds United in the game, focusing on Smith¡¯s malicious fouls and the fact that Makelele was injured.


    The second report secretly gave Fleet Street to keep the media concerned about the incident.


    In fact, the second report has nothing to do with that game, but under the advice of Aldridge, the club staff still worked overtime to make a fairly reliable report.


    This report is actually sorting out the development of the British over the past few years and the trend with the world''s first league Serie A.


    There is no doubt that the current Premier League is an upward trend created by overseas names in the future. Millwall is a pioneer in this regard, and Chelsea also made great contributions to the Premier League in the same period.


    If no one after another high level of foreign aid came to the Premier League to serve as a pioneer, the British exceeded the obsolete employment mechanism and the lack of local talents. Why should the sky of the Premier League be supported? There is no Gascoyne, Reinkel, Hoddle, Barnes, Keegan, etc. one after another English star enough to support the facade, Beckham? Even the British have not forgiven him, the Golden Globe Awards are coming soon, and the British media''s support for him can be seen in their emotional tendencies.


    When international football is already developing towards the offensive trend, should the Premier League stand still?


    In this way, why should it attract more overseas names to play here in the future?


    Come to England to recover?


    The newly appointed chief executive of the Premier League Skoda Moore announced in the new season to promote the Premier League to the world.


    If the Premier League cannot strictly manage this malicious foul, then who can promote it to the world, who can guarantee the ugly side of English football?


    In the same period, the Serie A has already shown signs. Due to excessive utilitarianism, there are many ways to win the game, which are boring and boring. The foul aggressiveness is beyond the normal scope. The entire league¡¯s injury list and a series of big-name stars, this is good today. By the way, tomorrow that one entered the wounded barracks again, the attendance rate of Serie A declined, the audience passed, the sponsor¡¯s enthusiasm turned to hesitation, coupled with the uninterrupted scandal questioning, this is not a glorious and prosperous Serie A grand scene. .


    Fleet Street is gaining momentum in public opinion, Millwall exerts pressure on the official, plus other intricate network of relationships play a role, although Aldridge did not achieve the best results, but at least can get psychological comfort.


    Smith''s ticket was issued. In addition to a certain fine, the suspension was suspended for 10 games. At the same time, the referee committee also issued a voice and would not condone malicious fouls on the court.


    It sounds strict, but think about it carefully, as if you just heard a fart.

 Chapter 455： First defeat

    Destiny fools, Millwall, who will be victorious since the new season, and in the two days after the eight-ball massacre Leeds United, All England is touting this seemingly impossible team to beat.


    But just two days later, Millwall''s first defeat of the new season came.


    In the fourth round of the League Cup, Millwall had a bit of luck, got Arsenal, and played away.


    When he went to Highbury, Millwall played lightly and came off the bench.


    Arsenal put out the strongest team at home.


    Aldridge felt incredible when he got the Arsenal starting list.


    He guessed wrong, completely wrong.


    Arsenal were tied by the Magpies in the last round and lost points again. The gap with Millwall''s league points has reached a level of despair, but they always have to guarantee the first four. After four days, they will play the London Derby. As a guest, White Hart Lane fights with the enemy Tottenham. Seven days later, they will fight the Champions League life and death, with the group of Barcelona and Florence, ranking above Arsenal, Arsenal two fierce battles in the next seven days, Aldridge predicts When Wenger lined up, he thought that the opponent should despise the League Cup. This is not to give up the game, but to avoid serious losses of the team and use the bench to face the battle.


    Millwall also had a London derby four days later. Coincidentally, it was also a dead enemy and a guest. They will be heading to Stamford Bridge at that time, and they will be visiting Milan City seven days later.


    Originally, the League Cup was used to train troops. Until the finals, Aldridge was generally not the main force unless he had a match that had to win, such as West Ham United or Chelsea.


    Before the game started, Aldridge walked to the coach and frowned and asked Klinsmann: "I said before the game that Millwall will be on the bench, and we did make it to the full bench. Arsenal will be in the next week. There are two key battles, but they are all the main force, what is Wenger thinking?"


    Aldridge is not a god, but he is used to controlling the situation. According to general thinking, in such a situation, is it necessary for Arsenal to die with Millwall in the League Cup?


    Klinsmann and Jenson both shook their heads after looking at each other.


    "What if I declare that Millwall will be the main force before the game? Will Arsenal send a bench?"


    Aldridge is a bit horny, especially when psychological warfare is useless or counterproductive, he will reflect for a long time.


    Klinsmann sighed: "I think this has nothing to do with Arsenal''s future schedule. Last season in the FA Cup, Arsenal lost to Millwall''s bench lineup. A month ago, we again Arsenal, Aldridge were blood-washed 5:0 in the league. If you were Wenger, would you still think so much? The most important thing right now is not the nature of the game, the League Cup or the league, even if it is a friendly match I''m afraid Wenger doesn''t want to lose to Millwall anymore. Now for Arsenal fans, he may lose to Millwall again, and the injury will be more painful than Tottenham!"


    Aldrich was caught in deep thought.


    Klinsmann was right, not because of his psychological warfare failure, but because he still didn''t consider comprehensively before the game, but only considered external factors.


    Maybe Millwall has always won or lost against Arsenal under his command. He did not put Arsenal in a completely hostile position. The psychology of fans is mostly the same, but Arsenal is different. Millwall is better than them. Won the Premier League title one year earlier, and also have their Champions League championship, which is not a traditional English giant. Like Arsenal despise Tottenham, Millwall now does not take Arsenal in his eyes, but Arsenal does Millwall has been listed as the biggest enemy in the city of London, and even the number one enemy of the entire English football.


    When Aldridge talked to the coaching staff, the game had already started. He was thinking about his back to the court. Suddenly he saw the coaching staff and substitute players standing up and applauded. He looked around.


    What the hell!


    Millwall scored at the start!


    Klose was running to the sidelines to celebrate. Aldrich asked other people to know that after the opening, Lampard, Ramall, Klose and Van der Meide made a continuous triangle pass and Klose scored.


    The team took the lead, and he was certainly happy, and he left behind the depression of the pre-match psychological battle.


    However, the next game completely entered the rhythm of Arsenal.


    Last season, Arsenal lost to Millwall''s backup, completely because they despised their opponents and took the initiative to be counterattacked continuously. Today, they played all their main forces. Even at home, they also showed a low posture. The offense should never be too hasty.


    Ten minutes later, Ovimas staged an amazing performance, first abused Ashley Cole, and then Metzelder turned to fall behind and slipped, hitting the middle of the road after the bottom of the penalty area. Ibrahimovic pushed and scored the score.


    Arsenal players didn''t celebrate after scoring a goal. Instead, they seemed to be very worried and unhappy.


    The same is true of the fans in the stands.


    Probably, they felt aggrieved that they faced such a team at home, especially Millwall, whose average age on the back line was only 19 years old.


    After reaching a certain level of strength, abusing vegetables can''t abuse a sense of accomplishment, but it must win. If it loses, it becomes the laughing stock of the world.


    For this goal, Aldridge was a little helpless.


    Metzelder''s speed is slow. The important thing is the link of Ashley Cole. If he can''t hinder or harass the opponent''s super winger, one-on-one, Metzelder is completely blasted by Ovimas without any suspense. .


    Six minutes later, Bergkamp responded to Vieira''s pass and then knocked back to Pire. After the pass, he turned and turned offside. Pire''s straight ball arrived as expected, and the ice prince reversed the score with a small angle volley.


    It was Balzali who defended Bergkamp, ??and he was completely defeated by Bergkamp in this defense.


    For the first time since the new season, Aldridge showed a helpless expression on the sidelines.


    Balzali + Metzelder, the two central defenders were completely exploded by the opposing line.


    At this time, the commentator said in the commentary: "If it is Ferdinand + Neil''s central defender combination, Millwall will never be so easily penetrated the last line of defense."


    For Aldridge this season, the main lineup is a new glory, but the bench lineup, especially the growth of a large number of young players is also crucial. No team can ignore the thickness of the bench. He could have made it today. Balzali or Metzelde partnered with Neil to play in the center guard combination. Neal''s experience and ability will definitely play a positive role in the back line at a glance.


    But he didn''t expect Arsenal to play Millwall''s backup lineup and also dispatch the main force. The opening less than 20 minutes, is it to change the center back? How much will this hit the player''s confidence?


    After thinking about it for a moment, Aldridge was relieved again. It was originally training, and the back line was abused, but he wanted to make sure that Balzali and Metzelde were beaten by Arsenal.


    He began to adjust his tactics to make Lampard retreat deeper and parallel to Gattuso''s position to strengthen the interception of the backline. At the same time, the distance between the backline and the back line was kept more compact, and the full-backs also retracted inward.


    Uh, a little bit of a wall to block the goal, it doesn''t matter, Aldridge''s face is not red at all, Millwall is still Millwall, but the strength of the players on the field is obviously much weaker than Arsenal.


    Arsenal step by step to break the Millwall defense layer by layer, Aldridge made the midfield line and the guard line closely connected, he did not believe that Arsenal can rely on double forwards and bilateral forwards to fight the Millwall defense line. wear.


    After his adjustments, although Arsenal had the advantage on the field, the number of opportunities created in the danger zone decreased significantly.


    Today''s game, Arsenal players are very aggressive, only to be caught flat-footed in the opening stage, and since then, Millwall has only a few opportunities to counterattack.


    The score has not changed until the middle of the second half, Millwall through the positioning ball assisted by Lampard assisted Klose header scored twice to equalize the score.


    However, as the defense contracted, the counterattack forward, running back and forth and the disadvantaged scenes, more physical energy was needed to defend. Although Millwall dragged the game into overtime, in the overtime, the Olympics Joe Cole, Alonso, and Neal, who were replaced by Derridge, did not make the offense more effective. Instead, Arsenal led the score again with a corner kick in overtime, and then Millwall pressed on the offense. Was hit with a counterattack and lost the fourth ball.


    At the end of the 120-minute game, although Arsenal eliminated Millwall 4-2, Wenger was not happy.


    In this game, he not only played the main role, but also played 30 minutes more, thinking of the next two weeks of fierce battle, Wenger''s heart sinking to the bottom.


    Millwall''s first defeat in the new season was born in Highbury. Although the boys on the field were lost, they did not feel the heavy feeling of being hit.


    Victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists. If you don¡¯t play, you will definitely win, and if you don¡¯t play, you will definitely lose. Staying calm and actively facing the future is the football philosophy that Aldridge instills in the players.


    Especially for young players, to avoid their psychological pressure, to face the defeat from the good side, to see their shortcomings through the game, know how to improve themselves in the future, and to compete with opponents who exceed their strength, is to learn to look in the mirror and face squarely We will make up for our shortcomings and further improve our own shortcomings.


    Aldridge has almost no sense of loss for the team¡¯s League Cup out, and can only say that there are no surprises.


    If you want to train troops and achieve results, you can''t be too greedy for fish and bear paws.


    Therefore, after being asked about his impression of Millwall''s first defeat in the new season after the game, Aldridge looked light and able to smile at the camera.


    "In the past few seasons, the result of this game will not be of much concern. Millwall was eliminated by Arsenal. What is strange on the stage of the League Cup? All along, the League Cup has been strong every year. The team was upset, not to mention that I was not disappointed with this defeat. At the beginning we scored a lightning goal, but then the defense performance was very bad. I am satisfied that after the players self-adjusted and stabilized, they played 70 minutes. They are still young, just like I used to lead Nedved, who was in his early 20s, and Larsen, they played. At that time we lost, did anyone feel surprised? As long as they maintain a stable attitude, step by step Improve, learn from the game experience, in the future will definitely become a good player, excellent team. We are Millwall, fans and the team are united, for us, winning becomes a hero, losing becomes an orphan The scene will not appear, so please don¡¯t put too much pressure on my players. Yes, we lost, but I will not blame the players. No one outside is qualified to criticize my players. Goodbye."

 Chapter 456： Stamford Bridge Haze

    The elimination of the League Cup did not affect the morale of Millwall''s preparation for the next game.


    The main players are also used to it, especially in England, the FA Cup and the League Cup are becoming less and less powerful. The big club¡¯s contempt for the League Cup is well-known to passers-by, and the FA Cup depends on the situation, if the conditions Loose, it is okay to hit the champion of this oldest cup game, but if at a critical time, the necessary focus on key battles is unavoidable, and the FA Cup has only the English Premier League team at the end of the year, hitting the second half The strong teams will either have to compete for the league title or they will be distracted by the European knockout.


    The odds of these two cup matches have always been extremely high, which is directly related to the attitude of the strong teams to participate in the battle.


    Millwall will be visiting Stamford Bridge on the weekend. During the preparations, the atmosphere at Millwall''s training ground is relatively relaxed.


    But in ease, the players are very serious and committed.


    During the break, Aldridge saw the players sitting together and chatting, and he walked over to hear what they were talking about.


    "I bet Henrik."


    "I bet Pavel."


    "I bet Thierry."


    "I bet..."


    Hearing their words, Aldridge was suspicious.


    Are these guys gambling?


    It doesn''t sound like it.


    "Hey, what are you talking about?"


    Aldrich asked curiously.


    Materazzi, who resumed training, laughed: "We are guessing who will win the Golden Globe this year."


    Aldridge realized it was like this.


    Recently, his work has been relaxed, the training enthusiasm of the players, and his work attitude are all models.


    To put it bluntly, they are also selfish.


    Many players in the Millwall are shortlisted for the Golden Globe Awards. In addition to the main striker Trident, Nedved, the runner-up last year, Pirlo was nominated for the first time, and Schneider .


    Last season''s Champions League semi-finals, league champions, and FA Cup winners made Millwall successful despite their failure to defend the Champions League, but it was enough to become the focus in the UEFA world, especially the strong posture since the new season, it is a bonus for them Quite a lot.


    The Golden Globe Awards are coming soon. Millwall''s watch appearance in the past two months is the best publicity offensive.


    These players also understand that only by maintaining such an excellent state and record can they get a higher evaluation when they impact the Golden Globe Awards.


    Aldridge smiled and walked away without disturbing them to continue "gambling."


    "What are they talking about?"


    Boas was also very curious about the players'' conversations.


    Aldrich told the truth.


    "This year''s hit is Rivaldo, and Manchester United''s Beckham, our team inside Larson, Nedved, Henry, there is a chance, Ronaldinho is a pity, he is in the limelight of the national team Not as good as Rivaldo."


    Boas seemed very concerned about the selection of the Golden Globe Awards.


    He came to the team last year and witnessed that Nedved could only be second, feeling very uncomfortable.


    He objectively judged that if Zidane did not have a retrograde performance in the World Cup finals, then the Golden Globe award should be given to Nedved, who is not only in a stable state, has continued to score goals, and helped the team win the Champions League. player of.


    Aldridge¡¯s enthusiasm for the Golden Globes has begun to fade.


    Previously, the club needed the influence of the Golden Globe to serve the club''s development.


    Now, half of Millwall''s main force can enter the Golden Ball Awards candidate list, the club is really not good to come forward and swear by a certain player, such a thick and thin approach may make this united team crack.


    "Beckham has no advantage, except for the Champions League champions, the team honors are nothing, Rivaldo has an advantage over our players, nothing more than the America¡¯s Cup champion, best shooter, best player, he scored in La Liga 24 league goals, Millwall really did not have more players than him in the league last season, but what about that? Where did the Barcelona Champions League go? How have Barcelona performed in the league in the last two months? Vilas, In fact, even if the Golden Globe award is not given to Millwall players, I think it¡¯s okay."


    "why?"


    Boas has a puzzled face, and the club has one more Mr. Golden Ball, isn''t it?


    Aldridge smiled: "Because we are already a phenomenal team in UEFA, all Europe is watching our next performance. In the eyes of the outside world, Millwall is a whole, a team, deducing football It''s shocking, and it''s continuous. If the Golden Globes can make a player last in history, then what I want to do is to let my players form a team together forever."


    Boaz froze for a moment, then nodded with a smile.


    In fact, the most intuitive impact of the Golden Ball Award is attention. When Millwall has become the most watched team in UEFA, Aldridge does not care how many Golden Ball players there are in the team. Nothing is ignored.


    However, the public relations work to be done still needs to be done, but the focus can no longer be tilted on a certain player, neither the head coach nor the club owner. Aldridge always puts the club¡¯s overall interests first.


    Chelsea have been high-profile in the past few years, whether from signing up or treating the Premier League ambitions, but this season Chelsea is very quiet before Chelsea meets Millwall at Stamford Bridge, as if to reveal a breath of unpretentiousness. .


    At the end of the tenth round of the 5:0 Massacre at Manchester United, Chelsea once reached the top of the standings, but they were quickly beaten.


    In the last three rounds, they lost Liverpool away, lost Arsenal at home, and lost to Derbyshire in the last round.


    Chelsea, who has suffered a three-game losing streak, has signs of infighting.


    In the second year of Viali''s coaching, Chelsea''s locker room entered a turbulent period. There is no way. Who will let Chelsea always be a veteran? These veterans have made a name for themselves. Viali, as a player, is only on an equal footing. As a coach, he has no immediate achievements. What can he do to convince the public?


    This situation is also the original intention of Aldridge''s reluctance to buy a famous star in the past few years, but he is still young, but in the field of coaches, there are not many people who can question his authority in the team It was also completely erected, except that he no longer needs to spend a lot of money to buy a star.


    On the personal homepage, Lerboff slammed Viali''s coaching level mercilessly. Deschamps who had just arrived on the team also had a very unpleasant experience. One after another negative reports formed a haze over Stamford Bridge.


    The bookmaker adjusted the odds of the head coach at the end of the English Premier League season. The number one player is Chelsea coach Viali.


    Three-game losing streak against Chelsea''s 13-game winning streak against Millwall, the outside world does not need to guess who knows who should be optimistic, even if Millwall is the guest side.


    At the press conference before the game, Fleet Street felt that Chelsea wasn''t chaotic enough, and wanted Audrich to fan the flames, but Audridge refused to comment on any issues related to the internal affairs of the Chelsea club.


    Millwall and Chelsea are right rivals, but Aldridge¡¯s role as coach cannot be lost, nor can he lose the bottom line. If he mocks Chelsea or dictates his club¡¯s internal affairs, this seems to be a chance to catch On the way of stepping on the enemy, it is actually Aldridge who suffers the image loss.


    Just like the spit that Smith spit at him, it looked like he was dirty in Aldrich''s clothes, but the audience saw how many people would applaud for Smith?


    On Sunday, Arsenal and Tottenham''s North London Derby proceeded ahead of time. Aldridge learned the results while waiting for the start of the game at Stamford Bridge.


    After listening to the radio broadcast, Babu told everyone the result there.


    2:1!


    Tottenham 2, Arsenal 1.


    In the middle of the week, they played Arwana with Millwall for 120 minutes and lost this game of derby between the deaths of White Hart Lane.


    Can fish and bear paws have both?


    Wenger won a League Cup and saved some of Arsenal''s face in front of Millwall, but then suffered a defeat in the face of the enemy Tottenham. Next, he will have a headache for the Champions League.


    Aldridge no longer thought about the score. He stood on the sidelines of Stamford Bridge Stadium to direct the game.


    Chelsea, investing huge Chelsea year after year, Bates may be bleeding in the stands.


    It is not enough to have good players, especially a group of outstanding players who have been recognized. They need honor, need trophies, and need a larger stage. But once Chelsea cannot give them, then the conflict will be like a torrent of torrents, which cannot be stopped!


    Viali also stood on the sidelines, looking lonely.


    The three-game losing streak of Chelsea''s morale is low, and also knows that against the thirteen-game winning streak of Millwall, he is fierce and fierce. He lowered his posture at home and built a fence wall.


    Chelsea still put a lot of money in the transfer market in the summer, but in front of Aldridge, there are a lot of familiar faces.


    For example, Mr. Sutton, who has only scored one goal so far, is the icing on the cake for the Manchester United slaughter. In the remaining time, his suspense for people is: Will you ever score a goal?


    There is also world champion Captain Deschamps, who once met Millwall against Juventus. He met again at Stamford Bridge today, giving him the feeling that he is old, but his style is still the same.


    Chelsea successfully defended for 64 minutes in the first and second half, and Henry broke the city in the 65th minute. Then, they suddenly seemed to be frustrated. The recent three-game losing streak was too heavy, plus the generals were inconsistent, and the locker room was in conflict. There are many other factors. It is okay not to lose the ball. As soon as the ball is lost, the team''s mental appearance seems to have changed.


    From 65 minutes to 80 minutes, Millwall scored three goals in 15 minutes, and in the last ten minutes he mastered the rhythm to induce his opponent to attack.


    But Chelsea really did not attack.


    Even their own players have lost confidence in Sutton, attacking a fart, there is a striker who is offensive to attack, Zola is stared to death, the midfield is overwhelming, and he has not been counterattacked by the opponent!


    "Four losing streak, within 20 days, Chelsea Premier League four losing streak, they need to adjust their status in a timely manner, there are many problems to be solved, the first is the problem of the striker can not score, Sutton spent the club 10 million pounds this summer to buy The incoming striker disappointed all Chelsea fans. Millwall¡¯s Henry transferred to the club last year and spent 10 million pounds, but Henry is now the top scorer. He averaged nearly 1.1 goals per game. , Sutton, 14 league games, scored one, if Chelsea can not solve the problem of forward weakness, Zola alone, then this season it is almost impossible to achieve a better position than last season. At the same time, Congratulations to Millwall, they have achieved a 14-game winning streak in the new season. If they counted the four-game winning streak of last season¡¯s final stage, they have achieved an inter-season 18-game winning streak. This record tied them 96/97 The winning streak record of the season that won the top league title for the first time in the season, which is also the winning streak of the five major leagues in Europe. We can now expect them to break the record they once created!"

 Chapter 457： One pit, two drops

    The league against Chelsea gives the outside world a strong contrast. In the past few years, Millwall and Chelsea have always played very fierce games, but in this game, the intensity has declined and the atmosphere of hostility has also subsided. The interpretation of the outside world is: Millwall disdains to place Chelsea on the level of competitors, and Chelsea''s more attention is distracted by the locker room problem.


    Aldridge was not interested in Chelsea¡¯s chaos, and said lightly after the game that he should leave early for the next game.


    Next, Aldridge will lead the team to Milan, he announced the big list before Tuesday.


    This time, he is neither dispatching all the main force nor sending all the substitutes. It uses a mashup combination. The front line player is the main lineup, the backcourt lineup is the backup lineup, intending to use the offensive to suppress AC Milan, and also let the young defense line Withstand more violent tests and accelerate their growth.


    On the morning of the expedition, Aldridge heard the phone at home as soon as he got up.


    "Hello, how are you?"


    "Aldrich, can you guess who I am?"


    "Jessica, you deliberately lowered your voice and thought I couldn''t hear it?"


    "Hee hee, Aldridge, my mother and I are also going to Milan, do you have time to play with us?"


    Aldrich thought about it, Ms. Rowling has been very busy in the past year, because the "Harry Potter" series is selling well, she wants to continue to create follow-up works to continue this good momentum.


    It should be occasional to relax.


    "But I don''t have much time. There is a maximum of one day after the game. I will return to London on Thursday night.


    "Enough is enough. We only play in Milan for two days. We go on Wednesday morning, go shopping during the day and watch your game at night. If you have time on Thursday, we can go shopping in other parts of Italy and then go home at night. "


    "Well, there should be no problem. You should be careful on your way to Italy."


    "Yes, thank you for your care, goodbye, oh, yes, I wish you a winning game!"


    "Thank you and say hello to your mother on my behalf."


    Aldridge smiled when he hung up, and his mood suddenly became good.


    He took the team to Milan with a very relaxed mood.


    However, the Italian media described the AC Milan team''s UEFA Champions League group match against San Millo in San Siro as "a decisive battle".


    AC Milan want to qualify, must win!


    Millwall holds nine points and can definitely qualify as long as he wins again. Their situation is very comfortable.


    When Millwall arrived in Milan City, the Italian media followed the whole process, from their ease of preparation to the seriousness of stepping on the field, and they all reported everything about Millwall in detail. It seems that the media of Milan City want to AC Milan''s move, looking forward to the Red and Black Corps can stage a Jedi counterattack to defeat this incredible team.


    On Wednesday night, Aldridge stepped into San Siro and wore a slim coat. In this fashion capital, he is a football coach who is not behind the clock.


    He stood around the court and looked around the court, which was his habit, especially when he first stepped into a court.


    In fact, this is his second time here. Last time, last year, there was a lively battle with Inter Milan, and Millwall staged a big reversal.


    The last time I visited was called Meazza. Today, the name here is San Siro. The stadium hasn''t changed, but the atmosphere has changed, the color has changed, from blue black to red black.


    Before coming to Milan, Aldridge called Galiani and asked the other party for two VIP tickets to Rowling¡¯s mother and daughter. During the day, Galliani had already asked for delivery. Now, the mother and daughter are sitting The stadium looked down on the stadium, and the seats had a good view, but they couldn''t see the details on the court at all. However, they still saw Aldridge standing still on the sidelines, and the surrounding cameras or reporter cameras were aimed at him.


    A man who is bound to be the focus as long as he walks into the football field.


    Aldrich put his hands in the pockets of his coat and calmly observed the court before walking to the coach''s seat.


    The fans of the Red and Black Legion created a huge momentum in the stands, cheering for their beloved team.


    "The fourth round of the UEFA Champions League Group H group stage is about to begin. AC Milan, the bottom of the three games, scored against the three-game victory of Millwall. Two weeks ago, the two teams fought a battle in Wembley. Millwall won the match and AC Milan lost. The result of that match led to today¡¯s AC Milan if they could not win, it is likely to be out of the group, and even the theoretical chance to qualify has become slim or directly disappeared. We saw today¡¯s Mill Wall did not send the strongest lineup, the midfield and frontcourt staff composition did not change, Pirlo took the midfield as the commander, Nedved, Larson, Henry, Ronaldinho siege in front, The person who protected him behind Pirlo was Gattuso. Millwall¡¯s midfielder Makelele was absolutely unable to play due to injury. Today, Gattuso¡¯s pressure will be extremely great because he needs to protect a young defender line, Ferre La, Neil, Balzali, Ashley Cole, this is Millwall''s four-back, no player is the absolute main force of Millwall, only Neil is over 20 years old, Bout guards City Gate, he has to be careful today, there is no Southgate and Materazzi in his presence that he can trust."


    AC Milan is still a strong attack today. After losing to Millwall two weeks ago, they played in three league games and performed well. Two wins and one draw, especially in the Milan derby, beat Inter Milan.


    From the morale point of view, in addition to the huge pressure on AC Milan, at least the past three leagues have allowed them to recover their confidence and status.


    The Red and Black Legions are back in the water today. Millwall has no pressure for points. Aldridge chose to use an attack to deter opponents.


    Zaccheroni''s expression was serious, and Aldridge''s expression was calm.


    When the game started, Zaccheroni¡¯s expression changed several times, regretting the team¡¯s missed opportunity, disappointed or annoyed by the player¡¯s mistake, but Aldridge did not change his expression from beginning to end, calmly observing the situation on the field , Do not easily reveal your inner thoughts.


    Galliani was sitting in the stands to watch the game, he was also very nervous. If AC Milan is eliminated in the group stage, the Serie A champion will lose too much. Assuming that it was the qualifying rules last year, it is better to say that this year, as long as the group is second Can firmly enter the 16th round, but Millwall, the fans complained at most, but can be squeezed out of the top 16 by Hertha Berlin, Galatasaray, Milan fans, who can accept? Then Galliani, who is in charge of the transfer operation, will be in a situation of accusation and questioning. Who made him fail to help AC Milan summer to add stronger players.


    AC Milan still played as a three-back today. Aldrich didn''t understand, really didn''t understand. Zaccheroni had no guts to change, or faced with this AC Milan lineup, I didn''t know how to change.


    Sometimes the change is easy to say, but it is actually very difficult. First of all, there must be suitable players after the change of formation. Second, whether the team can adapt to the tactical system after the change. Finally, the personal situation of the players after the change must also be considered. Some players don¡¯t accept it, some players are sacrificed because of a change, leading to conflicts and other factors.


    What Aldridge didn¡¯t understand was that the three-backs clearly couldn¡¯t resist Millwall¡¯s attacking group. Now that it has proved to be a failure, what¡¯s wrong with it? Anyway, if it does not change, then fail again, which is justified.


    After a 10-minute trial and adaptation phase at the opening, the two teams pulled apart and made a real move.


    In the 16th minute, AC Milan''s three-back system was penetrated by Millwall.


    Pirlo''s scalpel-like straight plug not only penetrated the midfield line, but also sent the ball directly to the left rib of the penalty area. Ronaldinho inserted the ball in front of the air and Sarah ate under Ronaldinho''s last game. Losing, today I intentionally kept my distance from the centre-back and contracted inward.


    He defended Ronaldinho head-on, near the bottom line of the penalty area. When he thought Ronaldinho would move the ball and pull out a neutral pass or shoot, Ronaldinho did the opposite, less than one meter from the bottom line. Ronaldinho chose a straight line at the bottom of the distance. When passing Sara, Ronaldinho left the ball in the bounds and half of his body was out of the bottom line. That scene made everyone look dumbfounded.


    Ronaldinho''s left half was out of bounds, and his right foot was in the bounds. After passing Sarah, AC Milan defender was shocked and attracted the defensive players to come over to contain. Ronaldinho kicked the ball back into the restricted area arc. At the top, the forward Nedvide volleyed the ball into the goal.


    "This is a goal with almost the same trajectory as the two teams met in the first round. Ronaldinho scored the penalty area on the left to attract the attention of the defensive players, and then passed the top of the triangle penalty area at the right time. Nedv¨§d inserted and grabbed the ball before AC Milan''s midfielder broke. AC Milan didn''t seem to learn the lessons of the last round''s defeat. This goal was the most disappointing and was used by opponents. Defeat twice in the same way, which also shows that the three-back is the most wrong choice in Millwall!"


    Aldridge smiled on the sidelines and then gave thumbs up to Ronaldinho and Nedved.


    Since AC Milan still insists on using a three-back, the goal of Millwall is not unexpected.


    A more intuitive interpretation is that if Sara is far away from center defender Costa Kuta, Ronaldinho can insert the space between the two. Sara shrinks to approach Costa Kuta, and the sidewalk is free. The full-back could not return to defend Ronaldinho in time. Ronaldinho only had positive defensive pressure after taking the ball. After killing Sara, Milan''s defensive system collapsed.


    If it is a four-back, the space between the center-back and the full-back will become narrow. Even if the winger advances, the center-back does not have to worry. The short-back is close, so you can quickly defend and form a front-back.


    AC Milan has reached the edge of despair, but the loss of the ball to the players is not too heavy, because they knew before the game that if they want to reverse their fate, they must win the ball. One of the basic conditions for winning is to score a goal .


    Aldridge watched the game on the sidelines, frowned as he watched it.


    Although AC Milan said that the three-back is not good at defending in his eyes, but when attacking, the midfielder does have a great advantage. This advantage comes from the increase of forward points.


    Millwall''s frontcourt player returned to defend against marking, so that he would not be able to stare. If he can really stare to death, unless he uses the full-court tactics on the basketball court, this tactic is unconventional and cannot be 90 minutes. They all use this kind of defensive strategy. In particular, it is dangerous to mark people. If one-on-one fails, it may be the end of a full-line defense collapse.


    AC Milan automatically adjusts the defensive strategy on the field, strengthens the control of the midfield, and never gives Pirlo the opportunity to remotely command and dispatch the defense through the defense line. If Millwall wants to attack smoothly, the frontcourt players must retreat in a wide range. And Millwall¡¯s players do the same, playing very offensively. AC Milan is almost relying on the advantage of defensive numbers and hard work to make up for the weaknesses in technology and tactics. However, their offensive means seems a bit monotonous, and they are sidelined. Road player personal ability to make a fuss.


    If it was two weeks ago, Millwall didn¡¯t have such an offensive means, and he just couldn¡¯t wait for the other party to play like this, but today Millwall¡¯s two fullbacks are newcomers to the top arena, and they can¡¯t stop AC Milan¡¯s two sides. The road initiated the shock.

 Chapter 458： Mang Gattuso

    Aldrich''s requirement for defense before the game is to make the back line tighter. At the same time, Gattuso needs to have a brain fever to see the other party attacking in the midfield and rush up to sweep, always pay attention to protecting the back line.


    This is to prevent the full-backs from being exploded. The full-backs are close to the center-back. The defensive line forms a whole. It is okay for the full-backs to be passed. There are teammates who can fill in in time. If the distance is widened, it may be attacked by the opponent. Break down one by one.


    Nearly 30 minutes after the opening, such a defensive strategy was very successful. Even if AC Milan can pass through the midfield smoothly, but it needs to play some delicate cooperation in front of the defender line, it will be destroyed by the strict defense. If it is adjusted two more times The return of Milwall''s frontcourt players can completely end AC Milan''s offense.


    Zaccheroni thought of the way to deal with it and gave instructions to the team. He let the team play finer before the game because the players did not have an advantage in the one-on-one attack in the last round, but Millwall today With such a defender line, the deployment before the game was defeated. Now they have one-on-one advantage for the offensive players. Instead, they pursue excessive cooperation and did not play the expected effect before the dense defense of the defender line.


    His adjustment quickly received good results.


    Serginho took the ball all the way forward on the left. Millwall just played an attack. Larsson didn''t get the ball in the front, was successfully intercepted by Maldini, and then directly handed the ball to Sel Ginho.


    Now that Millwall¡¯s players are back, Pirlo must not be able to catch up with Serginho, so when he retraces, he is staring at the midfielder Boban who was inserted by the opponent. Gattuso also retreated and followed the defender line. Keep a distance of about three meters, beware of Albertini, Ambrosini and other players coming forward to respond.


    AC Milan has been playing like this before, with a combination of passing and passing, but this time, Serginho was also unmarked on the sideline, Ferreira did not go up to grab the other side, and stayed away from Neil as long as the other party dared Come here, then make a forced snatch.


    However, Serginho made easy adjustments and observations on the left side and got a pass.


    Bierhoff moved to the right from Neal. Balzali reacted a step slower. The ball fell just over the head of the German. Bierhoff made a counter-angle. The ball came from the left. In the right run, he pushed to the left of the goal. His compatriot Butt did not make a save. He was also moving to Bierhof, blocking the near corner of the goal. There is no problem with this choice. The goalkeeper can be shot into the far corner. Scoring, but must not be scored in the near corner, otherwise it is a low-level performance even if it is a mistake, of course, if he did not move the position, but saved a header from Bierhof, the commentator would not think that It''s a god-level save. It can only be said that Biehlhof''s header is out of angle.


    "AC Milan equalized the score, Bierhof header, Serginho''s beautiful cross, good shot!"


    Aldridge was not annoyed by the goal.


    The defense chooses not to allow the opponent to infiltrate the restricted area. When the side is released, it will bear the risk of the side pass.


    The ball was a bit ugly. The reason was not how beautiful the header was from Erhof, but the problem with Barzali.


    In the process of Bierhof moving from Neal to Barzali, Barzali did not move in advance to jam the landing point. As long as he stood in the position and took off, Bierhof even jumped up. Catch the ball.


    This has nothing to do with Neil, and the place is not with him.


    The relationship with the height of the central defender is not great, Bierhof 1.91 meters, Neil 1.85 meters, Balzali 1.86 meters, the gap is really not obvious.


    Losing the ball is ugly but ugly, but Aldridge is not angry and can''t expect Barzal to defend as fast as Tarzan at once. Just now he lacked experience.


    Take your time, 18-year-old boy, the road is still long.


    After thinking about it, Aldridge called Gattuso to the front and made some adjustments.


    Don''t let Ferreira and Ashley Cole not shrink too much, properly increase the defense on the sidelines, and at the same time let Gattuso increase the awareness of the replacement in the penalty area.


    If Millwall is counterattacked, it takes time for the offensive players to retreat. AC Milan directly hits the side pass. Bierhof is indeed a big threat. The full-back must harass him. If he does not pass, he will break through and penetrate. , Gattuso''s retraction of the penalty zone is very critical, AC Milan''s best chance, or the biggest hole in the Millwall defense line will become the frontline of the restricted zone, if Nedved returns to the defense speed is not enough Quickly, Pirlo alone is expected to break the food, but the loophole appears within seconds. Once Nedved returns to the penalty area to defend, AC Milan''s threat of counterattack dissipates immediately.


    Aldridge sweated with his hands warm in his pockets, he drew his hands and shook them, and then fell behind.


    Suppression, anti-suppression, opportunities, and killing opportunities. This is the case with football games. Today, Millwall will definitely have a lot of defense problems. It depends on whether AC Milan can catch it, but AC Milan also has to solve a fatal problem: defense.


    AC Milan tried a few side passes after equalizing the score, and the effect was general. When Gulli and Serginho were forced and harassed by the full-backs, the quality of the pass will definitely decline.


    In the first half, the two sides drew 1:1.


    Before entering the player''s tunnel, the camera captured Aldridge''s smile...


    He walked into the locker room and waited for the players to come in one after another. Some of them were communicating with each other, while others were silent. For example, Balzali, he also knew that it was too much for him to score a header. It''s ugly. I obviously have a better position, but I can''t guard the other party.


    Aldrich first encouraged Balzali to make him care less about losing the ball, and then he shouted to the players: "I want to tell you something, an important message that can help us win on the road."


    Everyone looked at Aldridge curiously and waited for the following.


    Aldridge wrote a number on the tactical board: 90.


    "When the first half started, the whole game was 90 minutes. What can be done in 90 minutes? We can create more than 30 shots, we can win Leeds United 8:0, and Arsenal 5:0. When At the start of the second half, how much time is left?"


    Aldridge wrote another number on the tactical board: 45.


    "45 minutes. There must be no more than 90 minutes in 45 minutes. Do you think I am talking nonsense?"


    Many players who do not understand Aldridge''s purpose in saying these words have strange expressions.


    His remarks are simple and easy to understand, and are plain facts.


    "Think about it first, and think about it quietly. If you are AC Milan, will you be treated for 90 minutes and 45 minutes?


    As soon as Aldridge''s voice fell, the players in the locker room suddenly realized that it was like a taco.


    90 minutes, you can also tell yourself to be patient.


    But 45 minutes, when the time passes by one minute and one second, who can calm down?


    This is a must-win game for AC Milan!


    "Telling you this information is to let you better understand our tactical adjustments in the second half. Okay, now listen carefully to my tactical arrangement in the second half. I hope that today we can lock in the Champions League to advance to the top 16."


    Aldridge started to arrange tasks, made some targeted adjustments, and after leaving the locker room, let the bench players warm up.


    At the beginning of the second half, Aldridge found that AC Milan tried to speed up the game, they were eager to score, of course, to play faster to increase the number of opportunities.


    The biggest change in Millwall''s second half was that Nedvide returned to the midfield instead of staying in the midfield, and Pirlo was also back, with the formation becoming 42121 or 451.


    In this way, AC Milan has become a tough battle.


    Henry started a walk on the front line.


    Nedved, Pirlo, and Gattuso protect the back line, and Ronaldinho and Larson are waiting for a counterattack on the sidelines.


    Zaccheroni gritted his teeth on the sidelines.


    Millwall began to be shameless!


    AC Milan must invest more offensive players to create opportunities, and once they can''t attack, they will be immediately counterattacked.


    In the 57th minute of the second half, Larson took the ball all the way and dribble forward until he was five meters from Maldini before stopping and then passing the ball back to Nedved in the midfield.


    Nedved observed the situation and found that AC Milan players ran back to defend, so he simply made a big long pass to find Henry on the front line.


    Costa Kuta headed the ball and Ronaldinho didn''t rush forward. At this time, he saw that the ball came to his side. The chest stopped and the ball was shot from inside.


    Suddenly this long shot came, Abbiati flew to block the ball, but the blocked ball was followed by Henry''s follow-up shot to send the ball into the gate.


    The AC Milan defenders were all raising their hands to signal that Henry was offside first. Maldini ran directly to the sideline theory, but the sideline ignored it.


    Aldridge saw Henry hit the ball with a supplementary shot and laughed.


    To be honest, this is not the expected picture after his tactical adjustment, but the goal scored is an unexpected joy.


    "The situation is very unfavorable for AC Milan. They need to score two goals in the next 30 minutes and guarantee that they will not lose the ball to hope to take a three-pointer. Millwall leads the score and can stabilize the position against AC Milan. Now."


    Then AC Milan''s offensive became more and more fierce, Millwall''s offense was very monotonous, and the ball was handed over to Ronaldinho or Larson from the defense. The two men launched the ball forward from the side and kept the ball , Bring to the opponent''s defender line and then slowly adjust, at the same time, it will allow many AC Milan players to run back from the frontcourt and participate in defense.


    Zaccheroni saw a flash of fire.


    Aldridge was calculating what he was doing, and he understood it after ten minutes.


    This is to consume AC Milan''s physical fitness.


    Knowing that the other party wants to do this, but can AC Milan not be fooled?


    The offensive player really does not return to defense, in case the opponent really accelerates suddenly, the midfielder plugs in later, can he guarantee that he will not lose the ball?


    Especially in Nedved, Millwall moved forward slowly when he counterattacked, as long as he saw AC Milan players running back, he would not move forward, but once AC Milan players did not return to defense, who Dare to guarantee that this slow Czech will not suddenly break out and start running like a lion?


    Aldrich figured everything out, but there were too many uncertainties on the football pitch.


    In the 71st minute, AC Milan made a big pass in the backcourt. Bierhoff held Niel back and flew the header. Shevchenko headered the ball and pushed it into Millwall''s goal.


    Aldridge covered his eyes with one hand for the goal.


    Shevchenko''s header is very beautiful.


    But it was Gattuso who could not bear to look directly at Aldridge.


    Bierhoff leaned back against Neal, back to goal, what was Gattuso''s choice?


    Fight for the top!


    He might think that from the front and Neal from the back, the two could grab each other by holding Bierhof one after the other.


    After hiding his face, Aldrich shouted back to Janson: "After going back, let Gattuso see the process just ten times, no, one hundred times!"


    Don''t **** fuck!


    Gattuso is 1.74 meters taller than Erhoff. He is close to 20 cm. Going to grab a header with him?


    Gattuso should go to Shevchenko to prevent running position, or predict Bierhof''s choice, the opponent''s back to the goal, is it really a header after the header?


    Gattuso can do whatever it takes to defend. Aldridge will not be angry after losing the ball, but he has made a choice that makes Aldridge speechless.


    San Siro was overwhelmed by Shevchenko''s goal. The audience looked forward to the reversal of the Red and Black Legions. Time, some are!

 Chapter 459： Technical knockout

    2:2!


    AC Milan is back to life, and the atmosphere in San Siro has skyrocketed!


    "With 20 minutes remaining in stoppage time, can AC Milan score another goal? Can it? The Serie A champion refuses to bow his head to the early exit! The Red and Black Legions must take out the fighting spirit of the Italian giants at this time, if they want to go in the Champions League Going further, you must now show the courage and determination to stay on this stage!"


    Aldridge''s mouth was slightly raised, and the score was equalized, so what?


    Millwall can sit back and relax even if he loses the game.


    But he never gave victory to others.


    The real killer, it''s time to go!


    Before the game restarted, Milvolti exchanged the list and the referee also signaled for a substitution on the sidelines.


    "Milwall used three substitutions at a time. Pirlo, Larson and Ronaldinho walked off slowly. What is Hall going to do? He will threaten three players on the field. They all changed the field, is this about to die? Lampard replaces Pirlo, Glenn Carrell replaces Ronaldinho, Klose replaces Larson, looks like a counter substitution, Klow Ze¡¯s position needs to be observed. I heard that the young German was serving as a winger in the amateur league. Will he be a winger like Larson?"


    Klose ran to the middle lap to prepare for the kick-off after playing, and he talked to Henry two times and told Henry to adjust his position.


    Except for the goal in the second half, he rarely participated in defense at other times. Henry, who had been staying at the forward position, was just waiting for this moment. His physical fitness was no problem at all. He moved to the winger position and Klose played the center. The winger on one side handed over to Glencharr.


    AC Milan fans may also think that Millwall is weak and is going to draw.


    But Zaccheroni looked sad and looked at the court solemnly.


    Is Millwall really to guard?


    If you really want to defend, why not Pedretti on the bench?


    At first glance, Glennshire is not as capable as Ronaldinho, Klose is not as good as Larson, and Lampard''s offensive talent is far inferior to Pirlo.


    But that was the usual contrast. After playing for 70 minutes, Ronaldinho and Larsson went straight up and down the sideline in the second half. The two men used their own power to restrain AC Milan''s overall formation from stretching back and forth. They were tired. After the break, energetic and faster-looking Glenchard came on the court. At least at this moment, is Glenhall''s threat really lower than Ronaldinho who is exhausted on the field?


    After the substitutions, Millwall reorganized the 433 formation, but this 433 is very different from the opening 433.


    Gattuso and Lampard have double midfielders, Nedved midfielder, Glencharr and Henry left and right wingers, Klose single arrow.


    This time, the problem was thrown to AC Milan.


    Millwall almost vacated the midfield, the defender line did not leave the penalty area, the front double back of the penalty area Ganedevade retreated and the two walls completely isolated AC Milan''s attack.


    Zaccheroni was split, Millwall was defensive with 7 players, AC Milan attacked, 5 players went up with pebbles, 6 players were trying their luck, and only 7 players might be put into one. In a balanced situation.


    This can no longer be used to compare the strengths and weaknesses of players'' individual ability values.


    Aldridge played this hand, and Zaccheroni had no choice but to complain in his heart.


    He didn''t really scold Aldridge in his heart.


    This is a common scene in the Serie A game. In this country where defense is known as art, chain defense has been criticized for many years. It is called passive football. Strong teams play weak teams. , 8 or even 9 layers of defensive barriers.


    It''s just that Millwall is not a weak team, but he also used such a trick. Zaccheroni can''t afford to be half hated. It is Aldridge to change Zacheroni. It is estimated that most of them will use similar tricks.


    AC Milan¡¯s enemies are not only broken defenses, but also an enemy that can never be defeated: time!


    With the passage of time, AC Milan''s offensive speed is getting faster and faster, and at the same time it is getting more and more impatient.


    After six minutes of oppressive attacks, doom came.


    Albertini couldn''t find the ball out of the way, so he made a long shot, and the ball hit Barzari''s chest to block it.


    Lampard was half-turned on the popped ball and swept the ball towards Millwall''s right.


    After taking the ball behind the centre line, Glencharre quickly started to move forward. AC Milan was still the same and all the staff retreated.


    However, they can''t run, and the dragon is like a flying Danish with a wing on his back.


    Maldini didn''t come up to intercept, but quickly narrowed the penalty area. He knew that if he was going to grab, he must be passed by Glenchard to pass the defensive line before he was close.


    Grenchar cut in front of the penalty area, Klose retreated and took the ball and turned to straight. Henry ran the ball and cut the ball forward, still breaking through the line of defense of Sara and Costa Kuta, Mal When Tini went to chase again, Henry kicked the shot!


    Nearly a single-handed ball, Henry took a tenth place, rubbed the ball to the far corner, Abbiati was unable to return to the sky.


    "In the 80th minute of the game, Millwall led again, 3:2, this is a score that almost declared the AC Milan Champions League group stage out. If 1 point in 4 games, AC Milan may lose, not just the qualification to advance to the top 16. , And the glory of the Serie A champion..."


    Henry, who scored twice, kept beckoning Klose, who sent him assists. They jogged together to the away fans'' stand to pay tribute to the fans.


    Aldridge closed his eyes and raised a slightly unbridled smile.


    The current situation of the Italian giants is really not caused by Millwall, the big reason is their own problems.


    If they could score 6 points, 4 points, or even 3 points in the first two games of the group stage, why did they become a sorrow when they met Millwall in the third round?


    And now in this game, AC Milan will have to race against time and beat Millwall. With such a good chance, how could Aldridge watched slipping through his fingers?


    The 70-minute adjustment tactics must be familiar to fans who like the Premier League. Five years later, when the "special one" under "God" approached Stamford Bridge, 433 swept the Premier League. What did it rely on? Duff, Robben, Drogba, Lampard, the offensive group of diamonds, 90% of the others are defensive, compressing the backcourt space, counterattack!


    The "Fireworks" in the San Siro stand was completely extinguished by Millwall''s third goal.


    Aldridge opened his eyes and looked around the stadium, looking at the stand that was no longer hustle and bustle, and he could not help showing a smile.


    He can''t blame his villain, but he just likes it.


    Quiet a great stadium, as the head coach, he enjoys this second scene.


    In the last ten minutes of the game, the scene became extremely tragic. AC Milan was completely crazy and attacked in general.


    However, in the 88th minute, Henry replaced the ball from the left side of the midfield to start the long-distance attack. The routine is the same. After attracting the defense in front of the penalty area, Klose responded, and then he passed the ball to a Unexpected people.


    Maldini stared at Glencarre who was in front of the running position this time. Sara followed the opponent after Henry''s ball. If Klose tried to break through Costa Kuta with the ball, then it must be a lost goal. The game went off, but Klose passed the ball and passed it to a position two meters away.


    Nedved, who had been holding back for almost half an hour, was still at the same speed as he was at the beginning. He plugged in at a high speed. The AC Milan retraced midfielder couldn''t keep up with him. Ambrosini reached out and pulled his arm. Nedved shook the opponent away with a flick.


    When receiving Klose''s pass, Nedvide still didn''t slow down, greeted the ball directly into the penalty area, instantaneously broke through the opponent''s entire back line, single-handedly faced the goalkeeper, abandoned the goal in Abbiati When he just ran two steps forward, Nedved pushed the dead end and watched the ball roll into the goal.


    After scoring a goal, Nedved turned around and hugged Klose, his other hand raised his fist!


    "4:2, AC Milan has no chance, Nedved''s goal completely killed the suspense of the game, Millwall will usher in the fourth consecutive win of the group stage, they will also be qualified for qualifying early. Very Regrettably, the chances of a Serie A champion being promoted are very slim, leaving only theoretical possibilities."


    AC Milan''s players'' expressions were slightly numb. After re-kick-off, they organized a wave of offensive and failed to make it. Then they gave up signs. Millwall used the backcourt to waste time and spent 3 minutes. After that, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game.


    "Congratulations to Millwall, who scored 12 points in four games, 6 points from Herta in the same group, 4 points from Galatasaray, and 1 point from AC Milan. Millwall came out early, according to their 4 at home: In the record of 1 victory over Hertha Berlin, they also almost locked the first place in this group. If AC Milan want to advance to the top 16, the remaining two rounds not only have to win all of them, but also hope that Millwall The last two rounds also won! Destiny is no longer in their own hands."


    After the game, AC Milan players were either dazed or downcast on the court. Some Millwall players exchanged jerseys with them, and some comforted each other. For example, Larson walked to Shevchenko...


    When Aldridge was going to be interviewed, a scene of "dissonance" happened on the sidelines.


    Pirlo was chased by Gattuso and ran into the player channel.


    After Pirlo was replaced, he heard the coaches talking about Gattuso¡¯s header error and Bielhof assisted Shevchenko to break the goal. After the game, he walked into the field and carried on the gleeful Gattuso. Laughing, Gattuso, who is a hot character, will beating Pirlo on all occasions.


    If the situation is caught elsewhere, the media will definitely think that the two players are in trouble, but it is not surprising that the Italian media saw it.


    The two started in the Italian youth team, U21 echelon, etc., the relationship has been very good, often playing slapstick.


    Other players may be really playing, but both of them are playing.


    In today''s game, Aldridge didn''t have much idea, he won when he won, and he didn''t need to be grudged when he lost. Now the result is only very good. The young defenders who exercised the training let them see the big picture Even though there are mistakes and shortcomings, it doesn¡¯t matter. His head coach has always been doing the work of planting trees to grow trees and then cool himself.


    However, he had never imagined that the double killing of AC Milan in two rounds has caused an attitude change in the Italian media that has always been very harsh on him. Not only did he recognize Aldridge, but he also actively praised him in the post-match press conference With congratulations.


    In Wembley''s first match, AC Milan finished the defeat, the Italian media can find excuses, good conditions and the team strength and other factors.


    But in San Siro today, they could not release AC Milan. In terms of overall strength, Millwall''s offense is stronger, but the defense is definitely a short board. This Millwall victory can be described as a technical knockout of AC Milan.


    Reminiscing over the past three years, Millwall has won one and one draw against Juventus. Inter Milan, AC Milan, and Italy¡¯s three giants were beaten by the same team and the same coach. The Italian media has reached the point where it has nothing to say. Apart from applause and praise for the strong, what else can it do?

 Chapter 460： Despair

    Millwall took away the victory and 3 points from San Siro, leaving AC Milan with some confusion in addition to the pain of losing.


    The defending Serie A champions did not perform well in the league and did not meet the expectations of fans. The Champions League can only expect miracles if they want to advance. In addition to Zaccheroni''s trust crisis, Galliani''s work has also been questioned. .


    Aldrich left San Siro with pride.


    Here, especially after the game, he enjoyed the praise deserved by the winners, especially to make these former mockers ridicule him, despise and ridicule his arrogant head of the Italian media, why is he unhappy?


    The Italian media had long laughed at Millwall''s background and historical heritage a long time ago. Even if they defeated Juventus two years ago to advance, they also thought Millwall had a good life.


    And now, who will stand up to mock or degrade Millwall? That man is either stupid or crazy, and will only make himself a clown.


    Aldridge stayed alone in Milan City and declined Moratti¡¯s invitation. The other party must still want to do business with himself to buy players. In the summer, Moratti just completed a record transfer and brought Inter Milan Vieri, after the start of the new season, everything is developing in the same way as he dreamed. In the first five rounds, Inter Milan 4 wins and 1 draw, domineering, but in the last 4 rounds, that is, in the last month, Inter Milan four games 3 Losing only one draw, Moratti can still stand? Losing the Milan Derby is a matter of popular sentiment, but lost to Bologna and relegation team Venice in two games, can he not worry?


    It is one thing for Aldridge to have a good personal relationship with him, but the player transaction has not been done so far, and Millwall is not ready to sell players. In order to avoid embarrassment, Aldridge simply rejected Moratti in Milan. The city stayed for one night and went to other cities in Italy with Rowling''s mother and daughter early the next morning, and spent the day happily.


    After relaxing leisurely for a day, Aldridge returned to the club to re-enter work. When he entered the office on Friday morning, Yi Wen knocked on the door and walked in, putting a pile of newspapers on his desk.


    "what is this?"


    "Uh, I think you need to take a look. Today''s news from Italy."


    "Hehehe, I''m not a kid, do you coax me with Italian compliments?"


    Aldridge said half-jokingly, but he was still somewhat proud.


    Can the Italian media praise an English coach, can anyone do it?


    People, you can be proud, don''t forget to look.


    After Aldridge picked up the newspaper, he gazed at his expression with a smile, and saw Aldridge''s smile instantly solidified and slowly turned into anger.


    He reads one and then reads the next.


    Yi Wen suddenly said: "The news that praised you was in the Italian newspaper yesterday, do you need me to coax you?"


    "This bunch of bitches!"


    Aldridge dropped the newspaper on the table and began to adjust his mind.


    Even if the Italians praised him, there would be a degree. Yesterday, the praise was over, and the flag was over. They ate enough to praise Aldridge every day?


    Today, the topic is coming, and almost all Italian media are promoting a point of view: Pirlo, Gattuso, Zambrotta, Materazzi and other Italian players, why not return to Italy to play!


    This is not a question mark, so it is not a question.


    The purpose of the exclamation mark is to remind all Italian teams, especially the rich and famous Italian strong teams, it is time to bring the Italian children back to the motherland!


    Just like Capdevila, Elgra''s Spanish players are back home.


    It sounds a bit like playing emotional cards, and there are reasons for Aldridge calling them bitches.


    If you really want to bring Italian children back to your motherland, why is there no Balzali name? He is not in the youth team like De Rossi. Barzagli''s performance in the game the day before yesterday is unbelievable.


    Essentially digging the wall!


    Aldrich understood that the Italian media praised him as a sugar-coated cannonball and secretly wanted Millwall to fall apart instantly!


    If there is really an Italian team that can persuade these Italian players who have made a name for Millwall to return to Serie A, Millwall will not fall apart, but a serious injury is inevitable.


    This kind of media-made offensive will definitely have certain effects. For example, they are listing the key points. Serie A is the world¡¯s first league. The glory of playing in the Serie A giants. The Italian players returned to Serie A, and they are supported by fans in the local area. Convenience, especially to communicate freely in Italian with everyone around you, instead of your own crappy English, which insults the arrogant British secretly.


    Although all the benefits are only one aspect, but the media manufacturing offensive, it must be only to promote the positive factors.


    Although the media in England sometimes "have no shame and no bottom line", during this period, foreign players, especially those from mainstream powers, were very tolerant and respectful. Zola was praised as a demigod, and Ginola has always been a star. They may not get this kind of media treatment in their own country, which is one of the reasons why more high-level foreign aid has landed in the Premier League.


    But once this advantage is eliminated or brought closer, it will inevitably make the player''s determination to start to decline.


    It must be said that Aldridge cares very much about whether the player will leave, and it is impossible.


    Even if Pirlo will submit an application for leaving the team tomorrow, Aldridge will not frown.


    If the fate of a club can only be sustained by a few players, then the lifeline of this club is extremely fragile.


    Even if Aldridge disappears tomorrow and all the players in the first team disappear, will Millwall suddenly die?


    No, the achievements of these years, combined with the financial resources accumulated by the club, will allow Millwall to be at least steadily maintained at the level of the Premier League first-tier clubs. The club can hire qualified coaches to recruit players with a certain reputation and strength. Continue Moving forward, but whether it can recreate the glory of the past, or achieve more dazzling achievements than before, this possibility is very low.


    Even if these Italian players leave the team tomorrow, Aldridge is nothing more than spending time re-cultivating successors.


    But this is not what he most wants to do now.


    What is a dynasty?


    It is a dynasty that will lay down a vast area of ??land, continuously expand territory, stabilize the kingship, and continue to rule for an era?


    If the empire established yesterday collapsed tomorrow, it would be a fart dynasty!


    For Millwall and Aldridge themselves, the stage of fighting is over. Once again, Aldridge can still be confident. It is nothing more than three years and five years, but he does not want to come back. He hopes to start the glorious history of the dynasty from now on!


    Ewen saw that Aldridge was silent and her expression returned to calm. She turned away without saying anything. She just wanted to pass the news to Aldridge.


    Aldridge called Andrew before going to the training ground.


    As it happens, the agents of these Italian players are Andrew.


    Andrew has been a celebrity in the UEFA football transfer market since two years ago. Even if other clubs cannot deal with Millwall, it is normal PR work to have a good relationship with Andrew, and Andrew¡¯s company has already Established a huge network of relationships in England. There are more than 100 players in the Premier League, League One, and League Two leagues. Although the number of players in other countries'' leagues is not that much, the total number exceeds 200 players. Now, when Andrew is mentioned in football news or reports, he will add a title in front: the predator.


    The voice on the phone was lazy, and it was estimated that Andrew had just got up.


    "Ah, I have heard. In fact, several powerful teams in Italy have been contacting me secretly in recent years. The most they want is Nedved, Pirlo is behind. Today''s news is just It¡¯s the Italian media who broke the window paper and made a secret that was unspoken.¡±


    "What do you mean?"


    "I mean you don''t have to worry."


    "What am I worried about?"


    "Don''t you worry about Pirlo they leave?"


    "Oh, why should I worry? Have you seen me show a sad expression for even a second when Shevchenko left? When Trezeguet left, Elgra..."


    "Uh huh, I understand what you mean, okay, so are you calling?"


    "I just want you to tell me a word, if someone wants to leave at a certain moment in the future, you tell him: There is no chance of a career return, and the glory you miss will always be missed."


    "Is it conveyed in your name?"


    "Yes, in my name, I don¡¯t want to repeat this for every player who wants to leave. Time and time again, I¡¯m tired of what I can give them, I can¡¯t give them, they can¡¯t, I want to go, too No one has ever stopped, that''s it, goodbye."


    Andrew is not in London at the moment. He bought an old mansion in Edinburgh last year, and now he is wearing pajamas standing on the balcony. On the big bed in the bedroom, the two naked girls are still sleeping, in front of him is a beautiful pastoral Scenery, he suddenly shouted towards the sky: "Aldridge, grass! Can you make me more proud? My brother!"


    After shouting, he closed his eyes and laughed.


    Over the years he has seen countless people who bow down in front of him, and managers who are hungry for good players have to whisper to him, especially in the negotiations repeatedly withdrawn.


    I have seen the weak and the tough, but Aldridge has made him unpredictable and admirable. His younger brother, the free and easy interpretation of these years, is very different.


    What about good players?


    What about being hailed as a superstar?


    With you, we are happy together.


    Without you, I am still free.


    Neither oppress you to cause contradictions nor ask you to come up with false loyalty When looking back, will anyone regret, regret, and hope to go back in time? Anyway, I won''t!


    Aldridge put the matter behind after he called.


    Anyway, he couldn''t make the Italian media shut up and seduce his players. The rest is the players'' choice.


    Despite playing a Champions League in the middle of the week, especially with two offensive players in the frontcourt playing for 90 minutes, Aldridge sent the main team to play in the weekend league, because after this league, it will enter a period of time. On FIFA match day, many national teams play friendly matches. Players who go to the national team can rest properly. Only a few European national teams are going to play in the European Cup qualifiers.


    In the 15th round of the Premier League, Millwall defeated visiting Xie Wednesday at the Lion''s Cave Stadium 5:1. He scored a fifteen-game winning streak in the new season. At the same time, the league record of 19 consecutive victories across the season also refreshed the club''s history.


    Other competitors, Manchester United and Arsenal have won. Leeds United suffered a bloodbath in the 13th round. They lost to the newly promoted team in the last round, but they were lucky. This round again encountered the promotion team. O''Reilly at least The conditions were loose in the schedule, and it was difficult to win at home. Chelsea, after four straight losses, tied Everton in Goodison Park this round and the league won five rounds.


    The Premier League is quiet, and no coach wants to talk about Millwall. Even Ferguson and Wenger are reluctant to mention this team.


    They understand that as long as Millwall is mentioned, not only will it not affect Millwall, but it will also make their own team a lot of pressure. The horrible gap in the standings is an invisible mountain that will allow chasers behind them despair.

 Chapter 461： Storm of a book

    In late November, Liverpool.


    Aldrich sat on the floor in the hall of the mansion, with soft carpet on the floor, and a soft quilt under his butt. He watched the game video on the TV with the remote control in hand. In front of him, almost four Month-old Burt and Earl were 14 centimeters taller at birth and more than doubled their weight.


    The two little guys are wearing small and cute baby shirts, and Burt is playing with big blocks. Whenever he intends to put the blocks in his mouth, Aldridge will stop him with a smile, and then make a prohibition gesture to him. Sometimes, he would talk to him for a long story, although Burt couldn''t understand it, and he would still try to bite the building blocks over and over again. Aldridge didn''t get bored to repeat this kind of behavior.


    Earl sat looking curiously in front of him, not as active as Burt, but a pair of small eyes seemed to radiate smart light, especially watching the video of the football game on TV, he seemed more interested than Aldridge.


    During FIFA match day, Aldridge gave the team a few days off, which can be regarded as a praise for the team¡¯s exceptional performance since the start of the new season. Of course, this is for players who do not have the task of the national team.


    He came to Liverpool as a full-time dad. During his time with his son, he watched some videos of the national team''s games at home and studied the skills and tactics of the teams he was interested in.


    The England national team performed poorly in the European Cup qualifiers in 2000 and needed to qualify for tickets through the play-offs. In the just-finished play-offs, Scholes became a national team hero and scored two goals to help England. The team locked in the qualification for promotion.


    The whole country is jubilant, this is a seemingly normal situation at first glance, but if we think back to England¡¯s attack on Hoddle at the end of the qualifier group stage, and the pressure of public opinion on the poor performance of the national team, now the celebration, It''s just a relief catharsis.


    According to Aldrich¡¯s guess, within a week, the media¡¯s tone will change immediately, and continue to criticize Hoddle and this national team. The arrogant British, the birthplace of modern football, is so determined by such a citizen Every time it is the national team of the World Cup European Cup to win the championship, how can it be reduced to the point of playing the playoffs? !


    Aldridge turned off the TV and took away the building blocks from Burt. Burt didn¡¯t cry. He just reached out and asked Aldrich for it. Aldrich didn¡¯t give it back to him. He turned his back on him and turned his attention to others. thing.


    He picked up his two sons and let them sit in a double stroller. He was ready to go out and took the two sons for a walk to let them feel the breath of dusk.


    There is a common mistake in common sense. People say that the air quality is the best in the early morning. In fact, it is the evening when the air quality is the best.


    As Aldridge was about to go out, the doorbell rang, and he opened the door and found that it was Carter.


    "How did you come?"


    "I''m talking about business here in Liverpool, and the negotiation ended half a day earlier than expected, so come over to visit you and look at these two little guys by the way."


    Carter came with a gift. An exquisite wind chime made of colorful metal thin tubes. It made a pleasant and clear sound when colliding. It sounded a bit wonderful.


    "The salesman said that the stimulation of light and shadow reflection of this wind chime according to different colors will be very beneficial to the baby''s intellectual development. I don''t know whether it is effective. Let me give it to Burt and Earl as a decoration. "


    "Thank you."


    Aldridge accepted the gift and went back to the house and hung it on the bed of Burt and Earl.


    In the beautiful park nearby, Aldridge strolled side by side with Carter, and the two chatted about life trivia, just like the general public.


    "Oh, by the way, I will send you this book. I just finished reading it, and I think it has no collection value. I will give it to you as a pastime."


    Carter took out a book from his briefcase and handed it to Aldridge.


    Before seeing the cover of the book, Aldridge sneered: "You think it has no collection value, and give it to me?"


    "A book written by England national team coach Glenn Hoddle, are you not interested in reading it?"


    "Autobiography? It is estimated that there are some clich¨¦s, and I''m really not interested."


    Aldridge sneered.


    He has seen the autobiography of many stars or coaches, most of them are the same, of course, not the content of the book, but the content of the book.


    Basically, it is to review the career, and then in order to attract readers, deliberately broke some scandals or secrets.


    But in the pervasive environment of British paparazzi, there are basically no secrets at all.


    For example, when a star retired and disclosed the secret stories of ten years ago in his autobiography, in fact there must have been news hype at that time. The autobiography is nothing more than a positive response to confirm the outside world''s conjecture or denial.


    Aldridge in the previous life also followed Beckham''s autobiography, and the well-selling "My Story" has not yet arrived, but he has no interest at all, not because he is closer than in the previous life. Beckham knows Beckham better, but instead he feels that he was being fooled in his previous life. That autobiography is purely using fans'' "idol worship psychology" to make money. The previous and postscript invite Brian Robson respectively. Coming with Piero to tout Beckham, the content of the story tirelessly writes every international game of Beckham. To be honest, can''t the fans themselves watch the game video? Need to read the text description? The only readability is perhaps the process of popular psychology, peeping into the privacy of celebrities, and understanding how Beckham and Victoria combined.


    But there are also books about the deeds of the stars that Aldrich highly admires. For example, in his life, he read Maradona''s "Hand of God". Carter is also a fan of Maradona. There were also more than 3 hours of discussion.


    In addition to philosophical words and poetic descriptions, this book explores Maradona¡¯s life, especially its protracted cold war with FIFA, as well as his personal grudges with Avilandre. At the same time, You can also learn about Maradona''s sinking path.


    In a sense, the connotation of this book has surpassed the star biography itself, and it is more profound to expose the dark side of society.


    This book has also been on the first row of Aldridge''s bookshelf.


    Aldridge single-handed cart and looked down at the book with the other hand.


    Glenn Hoddle: "The 1998 World Cup Story"


    Carter suddenly said, "Are you surprised?"


    "and many more."


    Aldridge finished and read the eye book again: ¡ê17.99!


    He exclaimed suddenly: "Hodel is crazy!"


    "Huh? You didn''t read anything."


    "This book looks at the title and the selling price. Haha, if Hoddle doesn''t make some sensational news in the book, the publisher will sign a contract with him? Who will buy his book?"


    Carter smiled and couldn''t help but gave thumbs up to Aldridge, Aldridge''s inference was correct.


    For a penny or a penny, the price of this book is much higher than the prices of other stars or coach publications. Hoddle itself has no great achievements, and he dares to sell "high prices", which is naturally the material in the book.


    "This book is very readable, but after reading it once, I don''t want to read it a second time, so it has no collection value."


    Carter''s words really interested Aldridge.


    "Since you have seen it, tell me roughly."


    "Oh, well, in fact, this book is full of secrets about the national team players, such as why Andy Cole has performed so well at Manchester United in the past two years, but he has not been appreciated by Hoddle. Scone was furiously angry at the hotel when he learned that he had lost..."


    Aldridge has been listening to Carter telling him about the book. The two had dinner in a nearby restaurant, and they didn¡¯t get a general idea of ??the book until the evening.


    Aldrich lay quietly in bed after returning home to coax his two sons to sleep.


    I don''t know what kind of nerve Hoddle is.


    A large number of secret stories of members of the England national team were revealed at once.


    This book is bound to sell well, but Hoddle has become a traitor!


    Even if the members of the national team have not disclosed his privacy, but with this written world, who can be honest with Hodel? Do not be cautious in front of him? What I said today or some actions might be the material of Hoddle''s next publication.


    Why exactly?


    Is it because Hoddle leads the team''s poor record, knowing that there is not much time, so while still in place, can it attract the public''s attention and make a lot of money?


    He must be able to get a generous reward from the publisher.


    Aldridge couldn''t figure it out.


    Many well-known publishing houses in Europe have also invited manuscripts every day, hoping that Aldridge can write an autobiography to publish, even if it is to make money, and write a boring autobiography, but Aldridge has always refused.


    The brain is tired, sleepy, and asleep...


    The question that puzzled Aldridge did not get an answer in the future, but Carter really ignored a detail that quickly caused an uproar when he read this book.


    In addition to the secrets of many British feet, Hoddle also published his opinion on the disabled in the book, thinking that it was their destiny to repay debts in this lifetime.


    When Aldridge woke up and sent his two sons to Melanie''s parents'' house, he boarded a plane back to London. Just as he got off the plane, a storm kicked off.


    Today¡¯s training will start relatively late, because it is necessary to take into account the national team schedule of some players. Maybe the country is not far from London, but if the national team goes to play an away match, especially if they go to a non-European country, the return time is It will be later.


    In the morning, the coaching staff will have a short meeting. Aldrich came to the club conference room at the time. I saw that the other coaches were already there, and they watched the TV news intently.


    "Is there any news?"


    Aldrich pressed Boas on one hand, and Boas looked up to see him, and then pointed to the TV and said: "A large number of people protested outside the FA Football Headquarters and asked Hoddle to leave immediately!"


    "Ah?! So fast!"


    Aldrich had guessed the bad influence of the book. He thought that even the bad results would take some time to ferment, but he did not expect the storm to come.


    Everyone was paying attention to the news, and Aldridge did not want to disappoint, so he sat down to watch the BBC live report.


    If the public sees the secret news of the stars, it is because they watch the lively pictures of Le Zitu, and it is impossible to cause large-scale protests.


    But Hoddle''s fateful reincarnation view angered the people, especially those with disabilities among relatives and friends.


    The incident became louder and louder, and finally the British Prime Minister was alarmed and stood up to criticize Hoddle bluntly.


    The FA is under pressure to announce that Hoddle is out of class.


    Half a year before the opening of the European Cup in 2000, the England national team has no coach!

 Chapter 462： England national team

    Just an hour after the FA announced that Hodell was off get out of class, Aldridge¡¯s phone was blasted.


    Andrew asked if he had any intention to lead the national team to the next year''s European Cup and temporarily serve as a temporary leader.


    Andrew is a lobbyist, a lobbyist for Thompson, the FA''s chairman.


    Football Association Chairman Thompson believes that to stabilize public sentiment, there is still hope for this national team, to avoid the FA becoming a target, then you need to let a coach who can absolutely reassure the public immediately take office.


    There are not many people on the England national team''s candidate list.


    Because the conditions for coaching are very harsh, in the past 100 years, the English national team has never had a foreign coach. Thompson, who is the chairman of the FA, naturally does not want this tradition to be broken by him. This tradition is also what the English people are willing to follow. They It is not a free and open Spain, they will be willing to use only local coaches like Germany and Italy. This is the tradition of a strong football country.


    Aldridge asked Andrew to reject Thompson without any thought.


    What a joke, Millwall is full of momentum this season. The most important thing now is stability. The internal calm has made Audridge very satisfied. At this time, he will take over as the coach of the England national team. With a negative impact on Millwall, he will not do unplanned things, it is simply destroying the Great Wall.


    In addition to reporting the news of Hoddle¡¯s class, Fleet Street, which has a good sense of smell, is naturally going to analyze the next England national team coach. Because of this, countless reporters called Aldridge for internal information and inquiries. , But Aldridge chose to refuse.


    The media''s call for Aldridge to take over as the national team''s handsome voice continued.


    The front page title of The Times is: Football Association, what are you waiting for? !


    Below the title is a photo of Aldridge¡¯s upper body, and below is a lot of trophies, each with a year written on it.


    From the beginning of the 95th season to the end of the 98th season, all the trophies that Aldridge led his team in the four seasons, even those charitable shields that count on the skin.


    But some media predicted that Aldridge could not be the coach of the England national team.


    There is only one reason: Aldrich cannot give up Millwall''s position.


    The controversy on this matter has continued, which has also had a great impact on Millwall.


    In preparation for the weekend league, countless fans gathered on the training ground and held high banners, all of which were words of hope that Aldridge would not leave Millwall.


    Millwall now has money and can hire a coach to coach. I believe there must be many famous coaches willing to command this group of talented players to earn honors.


    But the fans of the crazy lions are reluctant to see that scene, and even in the street interviews, most fans said that they were not interested in other so-called famous coaches. Even if Aldridge began to lead the team''s record all the way down tomorrow, they would also like to see Audrey Qi continued to coach Millwall.


    At least, they have been brilliant. At the peak, Aldridge was with them. If the team would fall, they would be willing to stay with Aldridge. This is a habit, just like a family, even if there is no Any passion, but just getting used to each other''s existence, when you can''t see it, everything will become different.


    Ronaldinho ran straight in front of Aldridge during training and asked him: Boss, are you going to coach the England national team?


    When the opponent directly asked such a question, Aldrich realized that this public opinion must stop immediately. Ronaldinho may have just asked everyone''s voice. Other players did not ask, but they must have thought about it in their hearts.


    At the pre-match press conference on Saturday, no reporter asked questions about the game, all focused on the focus of the England national team.


    Aldrich took this opportunity to make a solemn statement: "When I took over the club of Millwall at the age of 18, I made a decision. In this life, I will only coach a club, that is Millwall, And I don¡¯t want to retire now, so I will continue to work in this position. I hope that the England national team will become better and stronger, and have an excellent record in international competitions. However, I will not lead England The national team is going to compete for next year¡¯s European Cup, which is not in my work plan. Now, my work goal is only one, that is to lead Millwall to fight for the defending league title and have a breakthrough in the Champions League field than last season. Please stop guessing whether I will coach the England national team, thank you."


    Aldrich''s statement immediately made the fleet stand down, the parties all spoke up, and no matter how the other people coaxed, it was just a sensation.


    At the weekend''s league, he awaits the visit of an old friend at home.


    Bobby Robson led Newcastle United as a guest at Lions Den Stadium.


    Robson took over this team when Newcastle United scored the bottom. At the end of the half-way of the league, Newcastle United had already left the relegation zone and opened a certain distance. Robson contributed to this, which is also Aldrich admires each other.


    Some coaches will only play a good hand, and if they have a good hand, they can win, but they have no way to deal with a bad hand.


    Some coaches can play both good and bad cards, and the results are not bad. Robson belongs to this type. They can lead Barcelona to play crazy offensive football. They can also lead the Eindhoven to the Champions League. Now And rescued the magpie from the bottom abyss.


    Of course, this is not to improve Robson''s coaching level. For example, he failed to beat Capello in La Liga and lost to Aldridge in the same season, but his ability to use his coaching experience and knowledge flexibly Recognized and respected, anyway, Aldridge feels that this kind of coach is worthy of admiration. Compared with many so-called "famous coaches" who have a poor record of coaching, he blames the players for their lack of professionalism. Robson''s type of coach is really commendable.


    Newcastle United are out of the relegation zone, and this season cannot produce too high a pursuit, so they don''t have too much pressure to come to the Lion''s Cave Stadium. It''s right to play well.


    Aldridge and the white-haired Robson had been standing together talking before the opening.


    The two talk about nothing to do with the game, or about the coaching of the England national team.


    Robson supports Aldridge to coach the national team, but Aldridge feels that the FA should not agree to his concurrent role and is a long-term leader.


    The long term he refers to refers to a complete competition period. For example, if he now takes over the England national team, it can only be regarded as a short term, and it is incomplete. The European Cup qualifiers have ended, he is nothing more than leading the team to play a few A friendly game, and then go directly to the European Cup, this kind of short work, Aldridge feels that the possibility of failure is very, very, very big!


    "Actually, do you also have an idea to accept the invitation from the FA?"


    Robson heard the sound of Aldridge outside the string. At least, Aldridge did not deny it and talked about this topic. Then, it definitely proved that he had an idea in his heart.


    Aldridge closed his eyes and smiled bitterly, then replied: "It may be bewitched."


    The bombardment of public opinion in the media these days has indeed caused him psychological shock.


    I didn''t think about this before.


    He wants to lead the team, but also the Premier League team, and then serve as the England national team coach? The FA agree?


    Stop dreaming!


    But seeing the voices of the outside world so high, Aldridge said that there was no idea in his heart, and there was no temptation to move, it was impossible.


    When the players started to enter the field, Aldridge and Robson embraced and walked back to their respective coaches.


    Today''s game, Robson''s tactical arrangement is more pragmatic, and the strength of Newcastle United is no less than that of the previous year, oh, the strong period was also defeated by Millwall, which was not as good as it is now.


    Millwall¡¯s players are playing steadily on the court today. The rhythm is not fast, playing more patiently and securely. This is what Aldridge deliberately told before the game. It is not a fear of Newcastle United. It is his own adjustment.


    In the new season in the league, they have won 15 consecutive victories. If you count the four consecutive victories in the Champions League, this wave of winning streak and status of the main lineup is almost to the limit!


    Even if the strongest team, the state can not always maintain the highest peak, the state curve is bound to fluctuate like other teams, the difference between the strong team and the weak team is that the trough period of the strong team is shorter, the peak The period is longer and the fluctuation frequency is lower.


    Millwall has set a new record, with 19 consecutive victories across the season, and now every league, they are likely to refresh this record.


    Players need to slow down and let go, but now they are also breathing a sigh of relief, the goal is the Golden Globe Awards, every weekend game day, even if it is not the British media, the media of other European countries will also pay attention Millwall, to see if they can create a new league winning streak, this is the Golden Ball''s best publicity offensive. As long as the players perform well, they will be magnified by the microscope and published by the media.


    But Aldridge needs the players to be in a state of pressure in this game, don¡¯t break out, don¡¯t keep a stable state, and break out, wait for the next game!


    In the next league match, the Battle of Kings Mountain in the Premier League, Millwall vs. Red Devils Manchester United!


    At the end of the game, a huge cheer broke out at the Lion''s Cave Stadium.


    "Millwall has won the 16th league victory in the new season, winning 20 consecutive seasons! The streak records of the five major European leagues have been refreshed again. Although the score is 2:0, the scene is also unrest, but Millwall is in The strong dominance in the game is not to be ignored. Newcastle United only had 3 shots in the game. Robson lost to Aldridge for the second time. The veteran took the initiative to take the initiative with Aldrich after the game. Qi shook hands, the two old and new England coaches had a short post-match exchange. It seems that they are sympathetic. Now, all fans who care about Millwall can look forward to the next league. Millwall will be welcoming at home. Manchester United, whether the Red Devils can break Millwall¡¯s winning streak is crucial to the Premier League¡¯s suspense. Friends, see you in a week.¡±


    Winning this game is very important for Aldridge.


    Whether Millwall is terminated for a winning streak to face Manchester United, or with a 16-game winning streak in the new season to face Manchester United, morale must be diametrically opposed.


    After interviewing the reporter in a hurry after the game, he left. Aldridge seemed to be very worried. He walked out of the club and got into a luxury car.


    Today, Andrew, who was specifically called to watch the ball in the stadium, sat in the car. When he saw Aldridge getting in the car, he asked, "Where are you going?"


    "Some things to think about, just go around in a secluded place."


    "What do you want?"


    "The England national team is handsome."


    "Don''t you already make a statement?"


    "I just stated that I would never lead England to play next year''s European Cup."


    Andrew''s eyes rolled and he smiled and said, "That''s what it is."

 Chapter 463： Plan ahead

    Outside London, in the evening, Aldridge leaned against the fence of the river embankment to smoke. Andrew bought some fast food and returned. Two young billionaires with a net worth of over 100 million passed the dinner with cheap fast food.


    Andrew packed up the trash and lit a cigarette. He turned and leaned back against the fence, smiling: "Why are you suddenly interested in the national team?"


    Aldridge turned his head and stared at Andrew indifferently, and said softly: "I am now the Premier League champion coach and the Champions League champion coach. If I lead the national team, I can also get good results in the competition. Do you think that I am a football Will the coach''s achievements and personal influence be greatly improved?"


    Andrew stared at him for ten seconds, and suddenly pointed at Aldridge''s nose with a smile and scolded: "I thought you were thinking for the England national team and want to save the national team by turning the tide. It turns out that you are a completely selfish ghost! "


    Aldridge raised his lips slightly and smiled lightly: "Yes."


    He did not have the consciousness of worrying about the country and the people. The England national team is alive or dead, and has nothing to do with him.


    The idea of ??becoming a coach is entirely out of selfishness. It is related to the height of his personal coaching career and the creation of a stronger football influence, which makes his "famous coach" aura more dazzling. Millwall is also more beneficial. The more famous he is, the higher his achievements, the easier it is to attract players to take effect, and the more he can convince players.


    Andrew recalled after a while and said: "I seem to remember what you said, you can''t be the national team coach."


    "Yes, I said a long time ago, because my coaching of Millwall is a constraint on me. Even the second-class national team cannot allow me to serve as the national team coach. The third-class national team may allow it. , But I am definitely not interested. But at that time, there was a factor that I ignored."


    Andrew blinked and asked, "What?"


    "I am a citizen of England."


    "Nonsense! But will the England national team allow you to work part-time?"


    "Under normal circumstances, it will not be allowed, but now you look at the reaction of the outside world, I am not saying that the people call me to be the national team''s voice, but instead, Fleet Street to the present, it seems that except me, I can not find the second The head coach of the national team is selected!"


    Andrew thought about it carefully.


    Yes, it is strange.


    After the speculation of Fleet Street ended, Aldridge had no results, and no one could stir a strong response next.


    Hodgson? Redknapp? Wilkinson? Keegan? ...


    Aldrich also noticed this phenomenon after paying attention to today''s news.


    He believes that Fleet Street has made a fatal hype.


    They shouldn¡¯t put Aldridge first in the first place, because Aldridge shines!


    After Aldridge publicly expressed his position, other names listed will be automatically brought into the comparison with Aldridge by the audience.


    Other homegrown coaches in England are either at home and their coaching experience is not convincing, or they are not coaching top teams at all. Don''t be amused, there is not even a champion who can make it, what are the results!


    That is to say, because of the existence of Aldridge in the shortlist of local coaches, others have opened a huge gap due to the recognition of coaching ability, which has led to a strong drop in external reactions.


    Andrew spread his hands and asked, "So what? You don''t resign from the position of club manager to coach the national team. The FA must choose someone else."


    "You''re right, at least it seems right now. First of all, because I can''t give up the position of club coach, so I have only one choice, that is to serve as the national team coach, and because of the conditions, there are only left England national team. Secondly, who will decide the England national team coach? The FA, from the stand of the FA, face this problem. They are selected from the list of local coach candidates, and now I have been excluded, What''s next? If they choose the one they think is the best, but if they can''t achieve satisfactory results when they choose the best person, what should the FA do? Another one is worse than their predecessor. Does your coach take office?"


    Andrew pondered for a moment and then shook his head: "No, Aldridge, you think this is too simple. It''s not like that, it''s not that simple! Thompson won''t risk being slammed by the hostile forces within the FA. The risk to let you serve as the national team coach, the Premier League will not agree! The FA will not agree within the uniform! Thompson he wants to balance the interests, let you, the Millwall club coach to serve as the national team coach, you too Crazy, you want the entire English football to incidentally make an international publicity for Millwall!"


    Aldridge¡¯s expression was serious and he said in a deep voice: ¡°Of course it will be difficult, and it will be very difficult, but I also have an advantage. As I said before, I am an English national. The record of public satisfaction, Thompson and the entire FA, are in a crisis of trust. They are in a dilemma. Either they choose a worse local coach to take office, or they choose an excellent foreign coach. It will break the 100-year-old tradition of England! From then on, it will be more difficult for England, Brazil, Germany, and Italy to raise their heads in front of a football powerhouse that will never use foreign coaches!"


    No matter how the outside world evaluates the England national team, at least the English people and the media have always expected the England national team to exceed the common sense, as well as the consciousness of the football power.


    It is not difficult to understand that England has won the World Cup, England¡¯s clubs have ruled Europe, and have made great contributions to the tactical change in the history of football. There are many invisible factors that have contributed to the formation of this kind of psychology and have developed for a long time in the past. Go on.


    Although England can''t do a good job like Italy to export overseas, but at least it still adheres to the tradition of "power football": do not use foreign coaches.


    In countries like France and Spain, either because of national openness, or the last foreign teacher has a long history and the coaching period is very short. In the modern era, all countries with developed football basically use local coaches. The reason is the popular support.


    In the original history, England ushered in the first foreign coach Eriksson in history after 2000. More than 40% of English fans strongly protested, and the support rate did not exceed 35%. The neutrals had no way. England really arrived at that time. "There is no general in Shu".


    Andrew thought about it carefully and said, "You have some reason to say. If the next England national team coach still ends in failure, the FA has little choice, whether it is hiring a foreign coach or hiring a current candidate. The third and fourth places are not satisfactory to the public. Especially when hiring foreign coaches, it is simply unimaginable. In England, there are obviously such excellent coaches in your country, but foreign coaches are invited. If it still fails, it is simply The FA''s disaster."


    Snapped.


    Aldridge snapped his fingers and said: "Yes, please me, please a worse local coach, and a foreign coach. These three options are very difficult for the FA, and there are certain self-harms, but in this situation. What is the smartest way to do this? Weighing the gains and losses, choosing the option that hurts the least, and let me also serve as the England national team coach, just because I can bring positive influences that others can¡¯t bring, such as the smallest public protests, The image of the national team has improved, and there may be more sponsors to knock on the FA''s door."


    At this point, Aldridge is very confident. Mo said that local coaches, and few coaches in Europe can overwhelm him in these years, and his personal influence, his reputation is in the sky, one championship after another. Not everyone has the popularity.


    Andrew still frowned, saying: "Your hypothesis has a premise that the next England national team coach will definitely fail, and it is a failure that the public cannot accept."


    Aldridge shrugged and suddenly smiled: "Christmas is coming, my Christmas wishes have been well thought out, I hope the England national team will be defeated in the European Cup next year!"


    Andrew was stunned, pointing at Aldridge for a long time and unable to say a word, it was really irritating and laughing!


    In the end, he could only bow his head and smile bitterly.


    Yes, only if the England national team suffered a defeat in the European Cup, then it can prove the succession of the successor, otherwise, even if the England national team failed to reach the final or semi-final, as long as the results are not shameful, the successor has an excuse, the English football There is always an excuse: there is not enough time to take over the team hurriedly!


    Then, the successor will definitely lead the team to the next major competition cycle, the World Cup in 2002!


    The longer the time, the greater the variable.


    Success or failure depends on the performance of the England national team in the European Cup next year.


    Andrew understands Aldrich''s thoughts, and without Aldrich''s confession, he himself is conscious.


    Aldridge didn¡¯t specifically call him to talk, let Andrew understand his overall idea, Andrew will help him next, and use the established relationship network in the FA to start the activity. The foundation is not a bad thing. Aldrich likes to prepare early. Even if he does not get the opportunity in the future, he will not be disappointed. If the opportunity arises, he misses because he is not prepared for it. It is the biggest regret!


    After being separated from Andrew, Aldridge hid this matter deeply in his heart and put all his thoughts in the club.


    Due to the follow-up Premier League 17th round Millwall will face Manchester United at home, so the fifth round of the Champions League group stage went to Germany to visit the Hertha Berlin game, Aldridge simply played with a full substitute.


    This time, he offended the Italian media, at least the "Gazzetta dello Sport", and incurred a storm-like attack.


    AC Milan was shameless and brave, defeating Galatasaray in this round, and improving the possibility of theoretical promotion.


    However, Millwall came off the bench for Hertha Berlin, the opponent ranked second in the standings, and Galatasaray lost, but they all came together and eventually made a draw at home, expanding the second place and leading the first. The advantages of the three Galatasaray also completely wiped out the theoretical possibility of AC Milan''s promotion!


    The Italian media slammed Millwall for his lack of respect for the Champions League and being too utilitarian. He made a full substitute in advance, which is a contempt for opponents in the same group.


    The English media murmured, thinking that it was AC Milan''s own disappointment that led to the elimination. Millwall played off the bench to get a draw, which reflects Millwall''s strength from the side. If AC Milan came out early, three days later There is also a game of Milan Derby or Juventus, I do not know if AC Milan will be the main force at the meeting!


    Aldrich has no intention of fighting for words. In his view, this may also be a blessing for AC Milan and can focus on the league.


    Since the new season, Aldridge has been quiet, and few people outside the court will actively initiate a war with him.


    This kind of silence has become more and more strange.

 Chapter 464： Come fight!

    Before the arrival of October, Millwall had an 8-game winning streak and 9-game winning streak. The entire British media was calling for a team to stand up to stop Millwall.


    The analysis of most football experts believes that October will be the most likely time for Millwall to encounter Waterloo. Millwall has encountered strong enemies in the Premier League and has to fight back-to-back with Serie A champion AC Milan in the European War.


    However, Arsenal, Chelsea, Leeds United and AC Milan have fallen under the gun of Millwall''s crazy fire. Before the 17th round of the Premier League, people should have had strong expectations for Manchester United.


    It is reasonable to regard Manchester United as the most likely person to **** Millwall''s winning streak.


    But now, the mindset of outside visitors has changed from anticipation to numbness, and it has been completely conquered by Millwall.


    Manchester United, Manchester United, huh, Manchester United sniping Millwall?


    No, it''s Manchester United''s turn. Finally, Millwall, who is unstoppable with firepower, finally aimed his gun at Manchester United!


    The outside world is cheering for Millwall, praising their merits with beautiful words.


    What is Manchester United? !


    Now, it is the moment for everyone to witness the record of the five major league games winning streak. It is perhaps a magical moment in which it is impossible for a team to surpass in ten, twenty or thirty years!


    Want to achieve 20 consecutive victories or more in the five major leagues, in the context of the era of the major league clubs'' rapid advancement, to achieve such an achievement is tantamount to the difficulty of reaching the sky, and Millwall, the current enemy, is day! It''s on the road to the extreme!


    As of the 16th round of the league, Manchester United ranked second in the league with 11 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, with 36 points. Millwall won 16 games with 48 points, which is 12 points away from the second place.


    Perhaps it is such a huge gap that makes the Manchester United club and Ferguson himself become calm and weird when ushering in such a crucial battle.


    There was no war of words and no change in attitude. It was like treating a sparse ordinary league. Ferguson was expressionless at the pre-match press conference. All he said in his mouth was diplomatic rhetoric.


    At the same time, Aldridge also faced the battle with a calm attitude, which is understandable to the outside world. If Millwall is provocative and proud, he will inevitably lead to the possibility of underestimating the enemy. With weakness, it is possible to pour cold water on his team.


    The team created by Aldridge is already strong enough to not have to look at others. At the same time, they do not need to play conspiracies and tricks. Calm off the court is the best gesture.


    On the weekend, the Red Devils fans came from afar to gather the Lion''s Cave Stadium. The crazy Lion fans ignored them, but raised their heads high and walked into the Lion''s Cave Stadium orderly to watch the game.


    On this day, the sky was gloomy and densely clouded, but there was never a drop of rain, which affected people''s mood and felt a little depressed.


    Aldrich did not walk towards Ferguson when he walked into the stadium. He walked to his position, with the same expression as Ferguson, and could not see any sorrow and joy.


    "The 17th round of the Premier League focus war is coming, defending champion Millwall vs. Manchester United, this is the first battle, but the leader Millwall has left the second place of Manchester United by 12 points, and the league has not finished half of the game. , But this game has been regarded as the end of the league championship suspense. If Millwall wins at home, the gap of 15 points ahead of Manchester United will hardly give the opponent a chance to make a comeback, so, as a live commentary on Mill over the past few years The narrator of the Wall game, I, Martin Taylor, I hope that Manchester United can let the Premier League championship fight not end early. If they can beat Mill Wall and narrow the point gap to 9 single digits, then there is left In the next 21 rounds of the league, we can also witness the process of winning the championship."


    "Martin, why? Although I like Millwall very much, and I don¡¯t want the Premier League¡¯s suspense to end before Christmas, today¡¯s game must be a milestone. Millwall¡¯s winning streak, winning streak record Refreshing to 21 games across the season, Manchester United''s draw or victory will end the opponent''s record, and at least can suppress Millwall''s momentum and keep the points gap from being further expanded, so let us enjoy this game, Hopefully, the two teams will not play too conservatively."


    Aldridge looked solemnly at the Manchester United players on the sidelines.


    The goalkeeper did not use the new aid Bosnic, which was launched in the new season. It was a disappointing goalkeeper. From the media reports in the past few months, this goalkeeper is not only worthy of Manchester United, but also has professional qualities. Dare to compliment, the character is still very hot.


    Manchester United has enabled substitute goalkeeper Vandergut. In addition to being older, this goalkeeper can only be regarded as quite satisfactory in the lineup of the top strong teams. There is no problem with the bench. If the main force is long-term, you can ignore it.


    Elvin was scored on the defender line, and the main champion of the Champions League, Ronnie Johnson, who returned from the injury, returned to the starting lineup. Silvester served as the left back, and the offensive line in the frontcourt remained unchanged.


    In addition to the replacement of Makelele''s injury and Gattuso, Millwall''s other main players are all starting.


    Aldridge said: Manchester United''s team still cannot solve the defensive problem.


    He is full of confidence in the game. At least this time playing Manchester United is also a mental stimulus for the players. If you play a mid-level team that is not high or low, the fighting spirit may decline. The last game was against Newcastle United. Derrick¡¯s team status is actively adjusted, but the player¡¯s fighting spirit has declined in the game. Especially after the two goals lead, they don¡¯t wait for Auderridge¡¯s tactical adjustment, they have a tendency to relax, if not Newcastle United''s strength is not good, maybe there will be a mess.


    The referee whistled and the whole game started. The cheering in the stands was deafening. The fans of the crazy lion seemed to be doping. Their beloved team is making history and attracting the attention of the whole of Europe. How can this be done Are they not excited?


    Manchester United kicked off, passed back, and then passed horizontally. It seemed that it was going to enter the state slowly.


    When Millwall''s players began to press forward, Aldridge frowned suddenly.


    He found an unusual place. While he was still thinking, Manchester United''s attack suddenly accelerated!


    Neville made a direct pass to Beckham in the frontcourt. Beckham took the ball to turn around and did not accelerate. Behind him, Ronaldinho was chasing, and within three seconds he must be close to him. There was Zambro in front. Tower, Beckham chose to pass, unexpected short pass.


    Scholes came over to get the ball and then passed the York who pulled out of the penalty area. The latter kicked the ball before Gattuso forced the ball and hit the straight. The route was reverse cut and the triangle passed.


    Southgate stared at Cole, and Materazzi, who had recovered from the injury, and Schneider defended Giggs''s inner line, but between the two central defenders, there was a figure straight forward, It happened to receive York''s straight ball, lead the ball forward, and easily penetrated Millwall''s defense!


    Single pole ball!


    The man chose to shoot and shot from a close range. Butt was unable to return to the sky and could only stare at the ball.


    "Opening 29 seconds! Manchester United broke through Millwall''s gate! The goal scorer was Roy Keane! The Manchester United captain unexpectedly went into the penalty area to complete the goal, Andy, you are right, this is a landmark Game, this should be the fastest record in the Premier League in Millwall Club history!"


    Keane rushed to the visiting team''s stand after scoring a goal, patting his chest towards the jubilant and encouraging Manchester United fans, a face of resoluteness pointing to the Manchester United team logo.


    Crazy lion, stop **** dreaming!


    Want to refresh the record on us, what are you as a red devil? !


    This lost ball made Millwall''s players a bit veiled. The most remorseful person was Nedved, who did not resolutely return to the penalty area at the last minute. When the attack was on Manchester United after the opening, Keane stepped forward and Nedved The German defense followed closely. Keane''s B2B range of activities. Nedved was also used to marking defense in recent years. When Keane had a pause in front of the penalty area, he seemed to be responding to Scholes. Nedved also stopped to stabilize his focus and prepared to undermine his response, but Scholes did not pass the ball to Keane, who was in a better position, but risked to York, Keane started at the same time, and Nedved followed again. A step slower, a short distance burst, a second or two slower, that is a gap of 5-6 meters!


    However, the players cheered up quickly. Southgate took the lead to inspire the morale of the players and made them forget about the lost goal. It''s no big deal. Even this season, they have almost forgotten the taste of losing the ball.


    Aldrich turned his head to look at Ferguson. Although the other party was also cheering and celebrating for the goal, there was still obvious tension, and the excitement was more profound than usual.


    In a sense, Millwall¡¯s strength has made the old Scottish man relive the pressure of the uncapped first when he took over Manchester United. He couldn¡¯t be relaxed. He had to work hard all the time, and make every effort to make Manchester United stronger. In this key battle, don''t look at his calm before the game, but the preparations may be more than the Champions League final.


    When Ferguson won his third Premier League title in four years in 1996, he thought that as long as he could win a Champions League and bring this great team to the top of Europe, then he should retreat and enjoy his retirement. But when he won the Champions League in 1999, he had no such idea at all.


    retirement?


    He would not even consider retiring now, and would not tread Millwall led by Aldridge under his feet, his retirement would only be a retreat and timidity!


    After applauding Keane''s goal, Ferguson held his glasses and inadvertently glanced at Audridge and found that the other party was looking at himself. Ferguson showed a provocative smile.


    Aldrich, the war between us has just begun!


    You dragged my retirement plan back into the game!


    This was probably a situation that Ferguson would never have imagined when he first met the young Audridge at home in the summer of 1994.


    The "kid" who challenged the tradition in his eyes and should be eliminated by the mainstream, grows year by year to the strength of today''s almost dominating side!


    Aldridge saw Ferguson''s smile, and also gave a smile, seemingly simple but revealing a sense of fun.


    He looked away.


    Today¡¯s Manchester United is not the last season¡¯s Manchester United nor the Charity Shield.


    At least in terms of tactical play, there is indeed something unexpected.


    It was Keane, or more precisely, Manchester United''s midfielder and back defense system that made Aldridge frown at the opening.


    Ferguson probably knows that the conventional style of play has been penetrated by Aldridge, one shot at a time, Giggs breaks through, Beckham crosses, Scholes plugs in, this kind of play that the Premier League knows, wants to play in Millwall In front of the wilderness, too underestimated the mad lion brushing 20-game winning streak!


    Therefore, today United concealed the offensive point, the offensive group in the frontcourt remained unchanged, and Keane became a key figure in the penalty area.


    He came straight to the door with a midfielder, which is really unexpected, which is more deep than the scope of his B2B activities.


    But what about defense?


    This is where Aldridge was surprised. Johnson, the Norwegian central defender, one of the excellent central defenders recognized in Europe in the past two years. If it is not an injury, he and Stam can ensure that the Manchester United defense line has no worries for five years. After returning, after Keane attacked, he immediately moved to the lower back position to take over Keane''s defensive mission. Once he was counterattacked, he was the barrier of the defender line. Then, Manchester United left three guards.


    This process of losing the ball at least made Aldridge figure out Manchester United''s tactical arrangements today.


    Ferguson, calm before the game, it was the **** who fought in the game!

 Chapter 465： Ferguson

    Aldridge was not worried about the nightmarish start that took the lead at home, and the goal was lost in less than a minute. Perhaps his mood at the moment is the same as the fans in the stands.


    Millwall''s offensive firepower is powerful, no worries no goal!


    The source of Aldridge¡¯s confidence is Manchester United¡¯s tactical arrangements today. Once the three-back system is counterattacked during the attack, Millwall¡¯s creative power will more easily dominate the game.


    However, the ball was probably lost at the beginning of the game, coupled with the pressure of winning streak, Millwall players made Audridge caught off guard.


    The player lost a ball in the opening, and naturally the players did not decline their fighting spirit on the court. They could not be discouraged so easily. However, in order to avoid losing the ball, the players paid more attention to defense during the process of self-adjustment. Big, this leads to a problem at a glance: when countering, the starting position of the offensive player is too late.


    Basically, they started from the second half. After Manchester United was counterattacked, the frontcourt player took a tactical foul. The midfielder, especially Keane, ran to the backfield no matter what, as long as he attacked at Millwall Return to the position before advancing to the midfielder line, then Johnson''s position immediately retreats, Keane continues to act as a midfielder, Johnson and Stam form a double central defender, and Manchester United becomes a four-back defender.


    This tactic of flexible switching of the defense system is commonplace. For example, when Millwall''s full-back assists up, the defender line naturally becomes a three-person. When he is counterattacked by the opponent, he will quickly grab the block or slow down the opponent''s rhythm. Give players time to return to their positions and arrange a tight defensive formation.


    Breaking such a tactic is nothing more than quick, three passes and two advances quickly, and the opponent is defeated when the opponent briefly exposes the defense line.


    But Millwall¡¯s offensive player¡¯s starting position is too late, and the Manchester United team¡¯s tactical discipline is very strong. Midfielders can fight and grab, especially not in a rampage. Millwall¡¯s Counterattacks often turn into positional battles, failing to seize the defensive emptiness caused by the time difference between Keane''s assists going up and back in place.


    In the tenth minute of the game, when Aldridge was about to make gestures to make some adjustments, something changed on the court.


    Keane, Scholes and Giggs pressed together in front of the attack, and Beckham had to cross at a 45-degree angle on the right.


    The three rushed to the door and pressed the back line. Schneider followed Giggs. Scholes and Keane were attacked by Gattuso, Nedved, Southgate, and Matt. Lacy stared.


    Aldridge''s eyes changed slightly.


    At the moment Beckham was preparing for a foot pass, Manchester United''s offensive line changed unexpectedly.


    York and Cole, where did this pair of black wind double sha go?


    The two forwards ran counter to the midfield line, the midfield line was pushed into the penalty area, but the two forwards withdrew.


    Between this electro-optical flint, both Gattuso and Nedved were attracted by the midfielder who advanced into the penalty area for the first time, but Beckham''s passing ball was not in front of the goal!


    When Nedved and Gattuso saw the trajectory of the ball, they suddenly realized that the two rushed out again to block York and Cole, but it was too late.


    York leaned on Pirlo''s header and easily gave Cole. Cole took the ball from the front. Gattuso was rushing up. He turned to the ball and entered the penalty area. Gattuso failed to brake and was passed directly.


    After shaking the angle, Cole shot a low shot, but Bout flew to save the ball with a single palm, but Cole''s foot shot did not work, and Bout successfully saved it. The ball was still in the penalty area. Scholes made a supplementary shot next to Materazzi, pushing the ball firmly into the center of the goal.


    "In the opening 10 minutes, Manchester United will be the next city! Millwall, a 16-game winning streak in the new season, has a terrible start in the game! Scholes continued his excellent state this year, and his goals have been seen by Manchester United. Defeating the hope of this invincible team, if the Red Devils Manchester United can win on the road today, this will be their first away game in the Premier League against Millwall!"


    Seeing this goal, Ferguson was so excited that he couldn''t extricate himself, almost exactly the same as when he led Manchester United to reverse Bayern Munich.


    The fans in the stands were stunned.


    Ten minutes behind two goals, what is the rhythm?


    Aldrich still had his hands behind him, his expression indifferent.


    At the bottom of my heart, I really appreciate Manchester United''s goal. If it is the striker who covers the midfield line, it is not surprising.


    But Ferguson''s dangerous moves actually allowed the midfielder to cover the striker line, and the alternating depth of movement created Millwall''s defensive chaos in a short time.


    This is also due to Manchester United''s offensive play. If it can''t be played, turn around and turn around. Manchester United''s entire midfield defense is empty. There is no other option than tactical fouls.


    Klinsmann came up and asked if Aldridge would change his tactics. Now he is two goals behind, and Millwall¡¯s position is too late when attacking, and the speed advantage of the advancement is reduced.


    Aldrich shook his head, and he observed a change in the expression of Millwall players.


    This lion, which he has tuned in one hand, may have some thoughts of gains and losses when he lost the first ball. He has plenty of time, is well defensive, and can certainly score goals.


    But the second ball was lost, they were not defeated, there was no slight depression, the players were silent, but they did not blame each other or entanglement on what went wrong.


    Now, the players are more irritated!


    Originally, Aldridge wanted to make adjustments before, but after losing the second ball, he chose not to move.


    With an elusive light shining in the quirky eyes, Aldridge glanced at the Manchester United generals celebrating near the corner flag.


    Two goals ahead, what will you do?


    One ball is not insured, the whole world knows.


    The two goals are quite different. There is a retreat on the psychological level. If you lose one, you will lead one. As long as you don''t lose two, the victory falls into the bag.


    Aldridge did not believe that Manchester United could predict a two-goal lead in ten minutes before the game. They were extremely eager to win, but Millwall''s sharp offense could not be ignored.


    0:1!


    The pressure is on Millwall.


    0: 2!


    Millwall was completely irritated, with Manchester United having two goals in hand, will the offensive strength decrease somewhat? Should defensive counterattack be the most appropriate choice?


    "Millwall fell behind by two goals. Hall''s expression on the sidelines did not change. He neither annoyed the two mistakes made by the defense in a short period of time nor inspired the players. What the **** was he thinking?"


    "Adjustments are made immediately after the situation changes. This has always been Hall''s style, but the game time is still close to 80 minutes, and he can understand now without making changes in a hurry."


    When the game restarted, the Millwall generals who were scored two goals and their expressions became extremely solemn controlled the situation steadily. In particular, they held the midfield advantage firmly in their hands. A certain factor is that Manchester United began to strengthen the defense, based on anti-anti.


    Aldridge raised his eyebrows, as expected, the Manchester United team automatically entered the rhythm of holding the victory.


    Ferguson watched the game for about 10 minutes after the second goal. He suddenly stood up from the coach seat and rushed to the sidelines to roar at the Manchester United players.


    "Who the **** let you take it back! Attack me! Attack!"


    When Manchester United started to defend, the midfield was completely ruled by Millwall. Under the tactics of high pressure, Millwall''s offensive wave was higher than the wave. Ten seconds after Ferguson rushed to the side, it happened again on the field. Variety.


    Larson grabbed the ball on the right and Silvester dared not step forward. Before he and Giggs grabbed Larson, Larson gave the ball to the inside that moved over to run. De Verde.


    When the Czech touched the ball, he used the heel to knock the ball, so he could run to the door without looking at it.


    He cross-runs with Henry at the moment, Henry pulls back, Nedved forward, and the ball kicked back at the heel of Nedved, unexpectedly falling under Pirlo''s feet.


    Stam watched Nedved rush to the door, just as he pleased!


    He could already guess the routine of Millwall''s attack.


    Henry ran out to cover Nedved forward, so that in order to disrupt the defensive player''s attention and strict defense, Stam would not be fooled. He was fully absorbed and waited for Pirlo to pass the ball to Ned. Vader, at that time, he could kill Millwall''s offensive.


    Pirlo''s handling of the ball did not drag the water. Before Scholes touched his jersey, Pirlo passed the ball forward with moderate strength and was a ground ball.


    Stam was a little surprised when he saw the passing route. The ball was actually for Henry.


    Henry turned his back to face the goal, and Johnson also posted it behind him. If he took the ball and turned it over to Nedved, this time will surely have a general effect.


    Facing the ball rolling towards him, Henry looked back at Johnson''s position and suddenly turned to run to Johnson''s left.


    Johnson moved subconsciously to the left to block Henry''s route.


    But after just taking a step, Johnson was shocked.


    Henry is indeed in front of him, but there is no ball under Henry''s feet!


    Henry chose to miss the ball.


    On Johnson''s right hand side, the ball rolled slowly over, a figure strode into the penalty area, and the speed of the toe touched the ball without declining, directly breaking through Manchester United''s defense line.


    Ronaldinho!


    Cut into the running position, enter the penalty area to get the ball, go forward, rub the foot and shoot the far corner of the goal!


    Within two seconds, Ronaldinho completed this series of actions smoothly and naturally, from touching the ball to completing the shot, all in one go!


    Van Dergu didn''t rush to the ball, which couldn''t blame him. He didn''t get penetrated by the opponent even if he passed the corner.


    Cheers burst into the stands at the Lion''s Cave Stadium.


    In this hustle and bustle, Ronaldinho ran indifferently and ran into the goal door to pick up the ball and hugged his arms and ran towards the backcourt. Nedved patted his head on the road.


    "In the 23rd minute of the game, Millwall pulled back a goal, the goal was Ronaldinho, the Brazilian guy had a good feeling for the ball. There is no doubt that in the Millwall lineup, the ability to control the ball and threat The biggest person is him!"


    Aldridge closed his eyes and nodded, feeling satisfied with the team''s goal.


    It also proved that he did not make the correct decision when he was behind two goals.


    He turned his head and looked at Ferguson, who was blasted quickly.


    Haha, Millwall also ruled his own way with his own way, and it was a frontal attack that shattered Manchester United''s defense step by step.


    Want to keep?


    You can go to guard as much as you like and watch the results after 90 minutes.


    Ferguson rarely launched on the sidelines towards the disciples.


    The performance of Manchester United in the past 10 minutes is the source of his anger.


    It''s not that the players don''t work hard, but it is definitely not the gesture that Ferguson asked the players to do before the game.


    Putting the bus is not the style of Manchester United, and they did not put the bus.


    Defensive counterattack, on this play alone, Manchester United may not be as handy as Arsenal, but Arsenal played defensive counterattack, how many were Millwall beat? Five, no power to fight back.


    If a defensive counterattack can take away the victory on the road, it will not be Manchester United''s turn against Millwall, who had a 16-game winning streak last season.

 Chapter 466： Conscience discovery

    The coach may explain his tactical ideas to the players during training, and instill a philosophy of the game, but when it comes to a specific game, it is basically impossible for the coach to tell the players why they want to play like this and how to play. Improve your odds.


    Because the game changes rapidly, the layout before the game may need to be adjusted during the game, once, twice, or even more. The head coach has no time to explain the reasons for the changes to the players. All he needs is the execution of 11 people on the field. To be precise is tactical literacy.


    How do I let you kick, just give me how to kick.


    Regardless of whether you win or lose, the biggest responsibility is definitely the head coach, so you must have such authority.


    Ferguson naturally has such authority in Manchester United, he is the ruler of Old Trafford.


    He knows well against Millwall today, coming to the away game, the result of a dead-end is to lose and be humiliating. The loss is not terrible. What is terrible is the loss of dignity. Manchester United¡¯s dignity is never under any circumstances. It is a completely different concept. Dead defense is the sacrifice of all offenses, and conservatism is a tactical strategy.


    And what about defensive counterattack?


    Arsenal''s defeat is the best case of failure and must not be followed.


    Manchester United must attack, and be bold in taking risks, desperate to attack the ball without fear of losing the ball!


    Only by exerting offensive pressure and lengthening the front can we have the possibility of confrontation with Millwall.


    But perhaps it was a two-goal lead in 10 minutes. This unprecedented excellent situation has made the Manchester United generals suffer and suffer.


    The players are not puppets, or virtual data in computer games that do not have ideas that absolutely obey orders. When their hearts fluctuate due to game trends, with their long-term game experience, they subconsciously choose what they think is the best option.


    When Ferguson discovered this, he immediately rushed out and yelled at the players, reminding them to attack, and don''t be afraid of losing the ball!


    The more you are afraid of something, the more you come!


    "Sir Ferguson found that the signs on the court were wrong, he reminded the players, but the players had a little time to understand, Millwall''s goal proved Sir Ferguson''s insight into the game, but failed to help Manchester United avoid losing. ball."


    Ferguson stood on the sidelines and supervised the battle. He had the majestic momentum of the unified army. In contrast, Aldridge appeared calm and quiet, standing on the sidelines as usual.


    This is quite in line with the attitude of the two people in their respective ages.


    After Manchester United lost the ball, the generals seemed to be awakened. Although still leading, Ferguson''s roar reminded them of the tactical requirements before the game.


    Attack, mad attack, don''t look at the score, Ferguson does not wave the flag to change the combat policy, they don''t make any changes!


    This time, the game scene became wide open.


    It seems that the two teams are no longer in the midfield, hardly seeing the two teams making too many passes in the midfield, basically a three-leg pass is bound to hit the front court.


    It seems that the midfield is not fortified, but in fact it is not.


    Instead, the two teams entered a pair, Manchester United double forwards, bilateral forwards against Millwall''s back line, Scholes and assists Keane against Nedved and Gattuso, Peel Because of the obvious speed difference, Luo cannot be straight up and down in the fast pace, so he is also pressed into the midfield and backcourt area.


    At this time, the two teams attacked each other, and the offensive threats all came from the opponent''s quick counterattack after the attack failed. To play fast, it is necessary to quickly cross the midfield. Because of this, the scene seems to be that the two teams have no defense in the midfield and are not The midfield is an obstacle to the opponent unless it is a tactical foul.


    In such a splendid situation, Millwall is not as threatening as Manchester United.


    Aldridge watched it for another ten minutes, and finally made up his mind to make adjustments.


    No adjustment is not possible.


    Today, Pirlo¡¯s defensive problems were exposed and at the same time, Millwall was not as aggressive as Manchester United. Larson and Ronaldinho were back. The starting position of the counterattack was in the midfield and backcourt. This small number of counterattacks is prepared to slow down the rhythm or to break the offense with fouls to give the midfielders back defense to gain time.


    Taking advantage of a dead ball, Aldridge called Ronaldinho closest to him.


    Ronaldinho''s expression is solemn, thinking that Aldridge will give him some secret missions and let him serve as a surprise soldier!


    But what Aldridge said made him think he had heard it wrong.


    "From now on, you don''t need to go back to defense, just stay in the middle and frontcourt, and tell Henrik and Thierry the same instructions."


    Ronaldinho was puzzled. He really thought he had misheard, perhaps he had misheard keywords.


    "Uh, boss, you say it again."


    "You, Henry, Larson, stay free in the frontcourt without having to participate in defense."


    "My grass! Boss! Why did you suddenly find your conscience at this time!"


    Ronaldinho opened his mouth wide and exclaimed.


    To be honest, with his ability, Henry, Larson''s ability, placed on most teams has a lot of field privileges, not participating in defense is one of them, Ronaldinho is not particularly important in the Brazilian national team Defensive mission.


    In Millwall alone, participation in defense is an important indicator. Offensive players are not required to achieve 100 points, but at least to pass 60 points, midfielders must start with 80 points. The defender must be 100. One hundred percent.


    So Ronaldinho was very surprised.


    Aldridge shoved his head blankly, Ronaldinho ran back and looked back at Aldridge, only to hear Aldridge impatiently shouted at him: "Go!"


    Ronaldinho grinned and reached over his thumb.


    Ronaldinho ran back and conveyed the instructions of Audric to Henry and Larson. The two of them did not believe it and believed that it was Ronaldinho''s false preaching.


    Isn¡¯t this nonsense!


    Manchester United''s offensive is so fierce that we are not allowed to defend now.


    Ronaldinho, the little boy, is not the time to play with fire!


    Henry and Larson didn''t believe it until they looked at the sidelines and nodded confirmation from Aldridge.


    After 20 seconds, Aldridge again sent tactical instructions to Nedved, a very simple sentence: you and Pirlo swap positions.


    Nedved not only had no doubts about this, but also raised his hands in favor of this adjustment by Aldridge.


    The key to defense is to mark people. Pirlo is in that position, but the mark people have loopholes or one-to-one breakthroughs. Then this is a huge hidden danger. As a teammate, seeing him in defense, can he help him? Such doubts will disturb yourself.


    This situation is very rare, because few teams will face Millwall with such a crazy pair of tactics. Even if there is, the strength is not enough, but Manchester United is different. The frontcourt offensive group is already ranked in Europe. The front row, coupled with a back-to-back Keane, is more worrying than letting Pirlo stand in that defensive position, but rather liberating him and replacing Nedved.


    Such adjustments can also allow Pirlo to maximize its power when turning from defense to offense.


    Both Scholes and Keane attacked, and Pirlo was behind them. When Millwall attacked, Pirlo''s starting position, the ball area, and completely unmanned defense, the possibility of being restricted was greatly reduced!


    Ivan, sitting on the VIP seats in the stadium stands, turned his head and smiled at Puskas: "Look, Aldridge made another on-the-spot adjustment, and Millwall will soon score."


    Puskas smiled: "Football, anything is possible, not adjustment means that good results can be achieved."


    "Otherwise we make a bet, Millwall will score the next goal and the score will be equalized."


    "What bet? Little girl."


    "Well, I think about it, dinner, autographed photo."


    "Oh, I win. Will you invite me to dinner?"


    "Well, there is Elizabeth."


    "You won, do I just need to sign it for you?"


    "Yes."


    "It seems not fair, I take advantage."


    "I took the advantage, hehe."


    "Okay, the gamble is established."


    "Look, I won!"


    Just as Ewen believed in his fists and raised his smile, the whole lion''s cave stadium was silent.


    She turned her head and looked at the stadium overlooking, the Manchester United generals frantically ran to the corner flag area to celebrate.


    Puskas smiled and turned to look at the dull Yiwen, saying: "This game, I won very easily."


    "how is this possible¡­¡­"


    Yi Wen muttered to himself, as if he didn''t believe everything he saw.


    It''s a pity that there is no big TV screen on the Lion''s Cave Stadium, so you can''t see the goal playback.


    If Yiwen was watching TV, she must now hear Martin Taylor¡¯s crazy cry.


    "Scholes! Scholes! Scholes, who scored twice, helped Manchester United lead by two goals again, and now they lead Millwall 3-1! There is one minute left from the first half stoppage time. With two goals behind, Millwall¡¯s winning streak is likely to end here today!"


    During the replay of the TV lens, Scholes took a long shot forty yards before the penalty area. This long shot was originally played very well, but Gattuso, who was three meters in front of Scholes, blocked it with his body. The ball hit his calf and refracted, turning into a hanging shot, and still hanging into the dead end of the goal, Bout sitting on the goal line a little speechless.


    Since the new season, the goal he has guarded said that he lost three goals in a single game. On average, he only lost 0.3 goals per game!


    Millwall''s frontcourt players looked at each other, Henry touched his head and walked in front of Larson and asked in a low voice: "Is this really okay?"


    "what?"


    "The boss told us not to participate in the defense, and as a result, the ball was lost again."


    "This is not something we should think about."


    Larson''s mentality is still very stable. He has seen Millwall for many years. He has seen all the scenes before the kick-off. He said to Henry: "If there is usually time, go and see all our previous video games with Manchester United."


    Millwall and Manchester United played a fierce battle, which was not unexpected, which has a direct relationship with the style and strength of the two teams.


    The first Premier League game in the history of Millwall Club was against Manchester United. The 5:5 process was still in Larson¡¯s memory. How could Wall come to this day?


    When the whistle sounded at the end of the halftime game, Ferguson''s face glowed red, and Audridge inserted his hands into the coat pockets, his face lightly entering the player''s passage.


    The third goal drop has nothing to do with tactics. Use a word he never wanted to use but must use it today: luck.


    If a long shot from forty yards away from the goal can ensure the goal rate, Manchester United is already against the sky.


    The lost ball will not interfere with his thinking, the score is changed, but the tactical confrontation between the field and the coach has not changed.


    This kind of goal, Millwall can score a few in a season, but never really pin his hopes on a long shot beyond 40 yards. It is one thing to be able to score, can it be used as a regular scoring method, then It''s another matter. Most of the time, long-range shots either serve tactics or have no chance to penetrate and try.


    Manchester United led by another two goals. With Ferguson''s previous roar, it seems that at least Manchester United players will not actively adjust themselves in the second half.


    Aldridge looks forward to the second half.

 Chapter 467： Red and Blue War

    Don¡¯t look at Aldridge being very calm from beginning to end. This has something to do with the team¡¯s backward score. He can only be calm. Especially when the player¡¯s fighting spirit is not a problem, he encourages the players on the sidelines to let the players Confused, as if they did not work hard.


    In fact, he was enjoying the game in his heart, and gradually became excited.


    Ferguson gave him a problem, and the game went into a situation he didn''t expect before the game.


    There is no doubt that Manchester United will attack, but Manchester United has fought their crazy attacks, which is beyond the expectations of Aldridge. I believe that many coaches who are paying attention to this game will think that Ferguson is playing a gamble. .


    What is it blocking?


    Life!


    Keen rushed up, killing up, not gamble?


    Do you want to defend?


    By the way, the result of the first half looks like Ferguson won.


    Now that the opponent has lost his life, Aldridge lay down his life to accompany the gentleman, let''s gamble on our lives!


    The adjustment in the second half of the first half is the case. The offensive players in the front court do not return to defense, allowing Manchester United''s wing players to attack head-on, without worrying about the pressure of anti-robbing behind.


    If the Italian school head is watching this game, it will definitely not be included in the teaching case. This is a game that completely violates the principle of teamwork.


    The two teams don''t have to play midfield anymore. It''s simply that you have finished attacking. It''s time for me to attack, defend and attack. This was originally a whole, but it was completely separated in this game and became two separate battlefields.


    Manchester United''s four midfielders plus double forwards against Millwall''s four backs plus double midfielders, Millwall''s single front midfielders plus trident against Manchester United''s single midfielders plus three backs.


    Because Millwall is passively adjusted, and the time is at the end of the first half, its adjusted effect will not be revealed until the second half.


    At the end of the halftime, Manchester United players continued their strong fighting spirit in the first half of the walk out of the locker room. When they played, they were murderous. They had 45 minutes to conquer the stadium for the first time in the Premier League.


    The generals of Millwall kept their minds steady.


    In the first five minutes after the start of the second half, Aldrich instructed the team to maintain the integrity and return to the tactics at the beginning of the game because he needed to observe and prepare for both hands. In the event that Manchester United¡¯s tactics changed in the second half, he The adjustment at the end of the first half may be wrong.


    But Ferguson, the stubborn old Scottish man, even if he led by two goals in the half, still allowed Manchester United to continue the aggressive attack of the first half in the second half.


    Both he and Aldrich deeply understand the iron law of a green field: scoring goals, only in the blink of an eye!


    45 minutes, it sounds short, but how many goals can be born? Who dares to pack tickets?


    Manchester United can reverse Bayern Munich in two minutes, Solskjaer can score four goals in 10 minutes by himself, and Millwall beat Chelsea in 15 minutes.


    Give the strong team 90 minutes, the odds are very high, and give the crazy team 90 minutes, the score may be an incredible number.


    The situation on the court behind the goal is the most critical.


    Since Manchester United was going to attack, Aldridge no longer hesitated, waved his big hand, and sounded the fighting horn.


    In the 53rd minute, Cole took the ball in the penalty area and tried to turn to pass Southgate. He was cut off by the opponent. Nedved ran back to catch the ball that should be rolled out and directly knocked Zambrotta on the side. The player kept the ball and a long pass to the frontcourt.


    Pirlo stopped the ball steadily, he stood alone in front of the middle circle, there was no one around ten meters!


    Keane and Scholes started struggling to chase back. Beckham and Giggs also returned at full speed. Pirlo had plenty of time and space to turn around to make adjustments and take the next step.


    He took the ball and turned forward to take the ball. Johnson, like a ghost, retreated directly from the distance. Neville and Sylvester immediately collected from the penalty area. Together with Stam, they formed a dense three-backer single. The line of defense in the lower back did not give Millwall free space in the ribs.


    Ronaldinho, Larson, and Henry stayed in the frontcourt without returning to the defense. Henry started to move out. Henry pulled out to respond. Ronaldinho was also asking for the ball. Pirlo gave the ball to Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho didn''t play cards according to common sense and directly dribble the ball from left to right.


    His oblique movement from the left to the right confuses the Manchester United defense.


    Neville was very relaxed, and no one was in front of him!


    Ronaldinho brought the ball in front of Johnson and then distributed the ball to Pirlo. Manchester United guards thought they would play two over one, but they actually did not.


    Pirlo took the ball to the right in front of the penalty area and directly passed the reverse line diagonally, and then passed the ball diagonally to the left side of the penalty area.


    As Ronaldinho killed the ball to the right, Larson and Henry started running to the left at the same time, and the trident crossed horizontally!


    Neville initially stared at Ronaldinho, and after seeing Ronaldinho''s route, he moved involuntarily to his left. When Pirlo passed the ball, he looked again, and his heart suddenly became angry!


    Just now no one''s left, this time, Larson and Henry are here!


    Stam was completely attracted by Ronaldinho who inserted forward after the pass. Pirlo may give Ronaldinho a straight ball. This is foreseeable. However, after Pirlo''s pass, all Manchester United defenders were dumbfounded.


    Neville went to chase down Henry at the landing point. Henry backed the header and gently tapped the ball. Neville turned around again. His eyes looked desperately at Larson''s non-stop ball and chose to shoot directly!


    Seeing Larson¡¯s posture as a volley, Van Dergu also abandoned the door and opened his arms to expand the defensive area, but Larson calmly pushed the ball with his arch, and the ball almost attached to the turf was from Van der Gu rolled between his legs and then rolled into Manchester United''s goal.


    The most dazed person was Sylvester. In the first second, he was on the side of Alexander. After the second, he was completely hung on the right side. There was no pressure. He could only see his door being broken.


    Larson''s goal made the Lion''s Cave Stadium boiling again, and everyone firmly believes that they can still score!


    Aldridge¡¯s arms are still not exciting, and the team is still behind.


    But he quietly asked in the bottom of his heart: how long will he find out?


    Ferguson was frustrated when he saw the team losing the ball, and frowned at the feeling that the lost ball seemed to make him notice something, but for a moment, it was hard to think.


    The rhythm of the game is fast. As the head coach, it is necessary to concentrate on watching the game and to think at high speed. Sometimes it is a huge test.


    Three minutes later, Millwall reappeared with his old skills, and once again came to the city, but this time Henry missed the opportunity, and his shot was too confiscated by Vanderbilt. Then, Manchester United launched a counterattack. It was a simple two-foot long. pass.


    Neville made a long pass to Beckham. The latter used the full moon scimitar skill. The ball took a beautiful arc and went around the large penalty area on the left side of the penalty area. Giggs forward rushed to stop the ball with his chest. Schneider has stretched The foot was about to break, but Giggs took the first step to blast the cold arrow, and a world wave once again penetrated the gate guarded by Bout.


    Seeing this lost ball, Aldridge finally failed to suppress his mood. He turned angrily and walked to the coach''s seat with a punch on the baffle.


    "Hello, Aldridge, calm down. It wasn''t the player''s fault that lost the ball just now."


    "Of course I know! Manchester United is so lucky! This kind of ball makes Giggs ten more shots and certainly won''t score one!"


    Stop the ball in the chest, don''t wait for the ball to land, and there are defenders rushing around. The goalkeeper blocked the near corner. He volleyed with a free kick, and the outer arc of the pocket went around the far post to shoot the goal. Unstoppable!


    Giggs took off his jersey and ran on the sidelines with his chest and thick chest hair, Manchester United soldiers chased him.


    When they got together and faced the stands, the Manchester United generals roared with arrogance on all sides.


    Millwall, a 16-game winning streak, a 20-game winning streak!


    so what!


    Who is 2 on the scoreboard? Who 4?


    After Aldridge calmed down, he knew he had to boost the morale of the players!


    Two goals behind the opening, chasing one, throwing one, chasing one, throwing one, can this not hurt morale?


    But he didn''t go to cheer for the players, saying "non-nutritive "dry daddy".


    His just one punch on the bench baffle has attracted the attention of players on the field.


    At this time, he walked to the side of the court, raised his chin and raised his right arm, his index finger extended, pointing in one direction.


    The players on the field looked in the direction of his finger, and at the intersection, their eyes were red!


    It was the celebrated Manchester United generals.


    Against the backdrop of the hustle and bustle of the entire stadium, the celebrations of the Manchester United generals are particularly conspicuous. Originally, they are now the focus.


    Come on? Hard work?


    Is this kind of fart useful?


    Aldridge needs to give the team excitement, mental stimulation!


    Did you see it?


    Red Devils Manchester United are celebrating crazy in our territory!


    Can you tolerate it? !


    Southgate threw the ball to Nedved ahead, and the latter took it to Larson ahead.


    Larson held the ball to the kick-off point, put the ball there, and then he stood up and stepped on the ball with one foot. Henry stood opposite him.


    Manchester United¡¯s celebration is not over yet, but Millwall¡¯s 11-man formation has already stood.


    They did not urge Manchester United to end the celebration earlier, which is what the other party deserves.


    However, the game is not over!


    Suddenly there was applause from the stands. After a long period of applause, the crazy lion fans did not make a harsh move for the team to throw another goal. Instead, they applauded and praised them for their quick kick-off formation.


    There are still half an hour in the game, as long as there is a fighting team, there are too many things that can be done in half an hour.


    Aldridge never thought Millwall would lose today, nor did he think when two goals fell behind, but Manchester United¡¯s luck made him incredible.


    Even so, he still firmly believes that the team can win.


    Ferguson took a long breath, feeling relieved.


    Just after being scored by Larson just now, he immediately became extremely nervous, but Giggs''s goal changed Manchester United''s lead back to two goals. This situation is great!


    If Millwall loses his mind and starts to attack, especially if the tactical discipline is reduced, Manchester United can still score goals, surely!


    Aldridge, Millwall can¡¯t make history today!


    It''s the day Manchester United left scars on Millwall!


    Although it is still not possible to relieve the hatred and to heal the scars of Manchester United from the league champion to the runner-up in the last period of last season, it is possible to slap Millwall who is committed to making history, which is enough to make Manchester United dance in full swing!


    Millwall, today, you can cry as much as you want!


    When Aldridge saw that Ferguson was still sitting on the coach seat without making substitutions or making adjustments on the sidelines, his corner of mouth unconsciously slightly upturned.


    Quietly think about it, it seems that Manchester United scored another goal, this situation is not too bad!


    A temporary victory can also be taken lightly.


    Sir Ferguson, your disciples are at least very obedient children on the field, right?


    As long as they obey your words obediently, I will rest assured!

 Chapter 468： why!

    When Manchester United led by two goals after the opening, Manchester United players adjusted themselves and took the initiative to shrink and fight back. At the time, there were 80 minutes left in the game. Ferguson''s performance on the players was violent, but were the players really wrong?


    This group of players has rich experience, competes in the top league every day, and still surpasses the top of Europe. Are they wrong through their own choices?


    It is not necessarily wrong, but it is certainly not as good as the head coach''s vision, especially considering the overall situation.


    Not only did Ferguson roar at the players in the first half, he must have deliberately urged him at halftime, whether or not to turn on the hair dryer, no one knows, but the possibility is not high, after all, Manchester United leads.


    Therefore, in the second half, even if the score is 2:4, when Manchester United still leads two goals with 30 minutes left in the game, the players dare not make adjustments themselves, and they must firmly implement Ferguson¡¯s tactical arrangements. The implementation of coaching arrangements has received good results, and they are also happy to continue to execute.


    However, Ferguson only woke up when Pirlo sent a subtle assist again in the 66th minute of the game and Larson sent the ball into the Manchester United door after a successful offside offside from Sylvester!


    Although the detailed process of Millwall''s goal is different from the second goal just now, the routine is the same.


    Manchester United''s attack was ended, Millwall counterattacked, the ball came to the frontcourt, 4 of 4!


    When the Manchester United offensive player returned to the defense and ran back, the goal was already scored.


    The two goals are the same.


    Ferguson wakes up like a dream!


    He gritted his teeth again and rushed to the sidelines.


    Finally, he found the problem!


    Millwall didn''t celebrate after scoring a goal and immediately ran to the backcourt.


    In the process, Ferguson turned his head to look at Aldridge. Aldridge slightly tilted his head and stared at him sharply.


    Old man, did you finally find it? !


    Ferguson''s face changed slightly, suppressing his anger. He couldn''t blame the players. This was his fault. He was negligent as the head coach.


    This game is in the second half, the pattern is completely different from the first half!


    Millwall scored a goal in the first half, when it was a positional battle that patiently advanced and tore apart Manchester United''s defense.


    Manchester United is really helpless in this kind of goal concealment.


    It is also to avoid the end of the game that Ferguson made Manchester United more adventurous and aggressive than before!


    The two goals conceded by Manchester United in the second half were exactly the same.


    The most deadly place is the comparison of the offensive and defensive situation of the two lost goals.


    4VS4.


    Pirlo, Larson, Ronaldinho, Henry vs Johnson, Neville, Stam, Sylvester.


    Where is the problem?


    At a glance, is it strange that Manchester United lost two goals in such a 4VS4?


    And it''s the backcourt that has so much room for the offensive side to cooperate.


    Ronaldinho was so refreshing that he hadn''t encountered the scene of Yipingping in the offensive for a long time. He could play whatever he wanted.


    Going back, what about Manchester United?


    6VS6!


    Ferguson regrets it!


    Whether it is 1:3 or 2:4, Manchester United are two goals ahead!


    Actually, the offense is 6-6, but the defense is 4-4.


    The number of people is balanced, but the space at half time has not changed, and the difficulty of playing 6-6 is naturally much higher than that of 4 4!


    When did this phenomenon appear?


    In the 51st minute, when Aldridge ordered an attack.


    The adjustment that the offensive players did not return to defense in the first half was just made. Manchester United scored again, and there was not much time left. Manchester United took the initiative to stabilize and defend well, so this change was not seen.


    Only in the 51st minute of the second half did such changes show up clearly on the court.


    Ferguson should have discovered earlier, but just after Millwall scored the second goal, Giggs quickly scored another goal, joy, let him ignore the problems he noticed.


    Now that the problem has been found, Ferguson will start to solve it.


    He immediately ordered Keane and Scholes to withdraw!


    This does not conflict with the initial tactical assumption that Manchester United will use offensive suppression.


    Ferguson just wanted to reverse the scene, making Millwall 6VS6 when attacking and Manchester United 4VS4 when attacking.


    When Aldridge saw clearly and confirmed Manchester United''s on-court adjustment in the 70th minute of the game, he waved his fist heavily.


    He is convinced that from this second, the game will be completely dominated by Millwall, unless there is really a **** goddess of fate being ravaged by Manchester United.


    Ferguson stood on the sidelines and watched the battle. From 70 minutes on, he has been frowning, unbelievable.


    Manchester United, almost no decent offense!


    Yes, not at all!


    why?


    why!


    Because Millwall is in the middle of three midfield control, Manchester United has only two midfielders. What is the balance of 6VS6?


    Millvoldo has a midfielder and Manchester United have a guard!


    Manchester United''s four guards defend against three forwards, but Millwall is three midfielders oppressing Manchester United''s double midfielders Keane and Scholes.


    Once Beckham and Giggs participated in the midfield defense, Millwall''s back line will be pushed up and become a high-pressure snatch. Manchester United will not be able to talk about the 4VS4 offensive, and will enter the first goal in the first half. In rhythm.


    When Beckham and Giggs two full-backs did not know whether they should continue to press the wing to maintain the offensive starting position, or support the defense in the midfield and backcourt, Millwall¡¯s fourth goal quietly And here!


    Millwall, who firmly occupied the midfield, passed Pirlo''s long shot in the front of the penalty area after patience!


    Millwall fans in the stands are crazy!


    If football really drives people crazy, this is the moment!


    Ferguson has completely lost his clutter at the moment, but he is not angry, and put the blame on the players.


    If you must find a reason, then the Millwall team is very strong in itself, plus an Aldridge that makes him chill at the moment.


    The midfielders have the world, Manchester United can''t take the risk to let Johnson also go to the midfield to match, so it is a matter of course that the midfield is passive.


    Can three guards and three midfielders defend Millwall?


    Not necessarily, but in the face of changing the position to play three guards, AC Milan has told all coaches the effectiveness of this tactic with actual combat, especially the three guards in the array have good names.


    Aldridge bowed his eyes and waved his fists slightly.


    4:4, I haven''t won yet, there are 8 minutes left in the game.


    Pirlo didn''t celebrate after scoring. Millwall''s players were like an army. Henry hugged the ball from the goal and turned around like everyone else. Jogging away.


    The eyes of Manchester United players are full of incredible, and there is a faint light of fear in people''s eyes.


    Millwall, what a monster!


    Ferguson bowed his head on the sidelines and waved his hands to allow the players to fight back defensively.


    Perhaps the offensive threat will be greatly reduced, but at least it will not be used by the other party''s huge midfield advantage to leisurely organize the offense to play with Scholes and Keane. It looks really sad and has an inexplicable pain.


    Seeing Manchester United start to defend, Aldridge instructed Klinsmann to perform substitutions.


    In the 85th minute of the game, Millwall made a move.


    Klose came on.


    The next player is: Materazzi! ! ! !


    "Hall actually replaced a central defender with a striker! What is this for? What is he for?! Are you really afraid of Manchester United''s counterattack? Or is the dedication to victory already crazy? Now the score is 4:4! 4:4! Draw!"


    The fans on the scene responded with cheers to Audridge''s substitutions.


    Of course, fans can¡¯t wait for Millwall to be a 0-0-10 formation, with ten strikers.


    A minute later, Aldridge replaced Gattuso with Lampard again.


    This substitution looks nothing.


    But Aldridge stared at Lampard on the sidelines.


    He needs to know how Lampard''s tactical execution is in the time left.


    The game was close to the end of the game, Manchester United played a defensive counterattack, Ferguson replaced two players in a row, let Solskjaer wait in the front to counterattack, Elvin played to strengthen the defense of the back line, after all, Millwall had a forward .


    Whether it is Ronaldinho, Henry, Larson, Nedved, Pirlo, by this time, either because of physical fitness, or because of the concentration of all the attention of the opponent, the play must be limited.


    Millwall wants a victory and needs a soldier.


    Will this Krishna be Klose?


    Wasn¡¯t Manchester United surprised when Aldridge replaced Materazzi with Klose?


    Klose ran directly into the penalty area and was at the forefront of the front line. Will his threat be ignored by Manchester United?


    If he can become a strange soldier, he must have the strength to crush Stam or Johnson. Unfortunately, he has not yet.


    Therefore, changing Klose to cause an accident is just a cover.


    The real killer is the player who was replaced later: Lampard!


    In terms of defense, Lampard is not as good as Gattuso, but if he talks about offense, Lampard is definitely better than Gattuso. After playing, he not only helps Millwall to control the midfield more firmly, but he can also make his own. Threat.


    When the game was about to enter stoppage time, Millwall created a good opportunity in the frontcourt.


    Ronaldinho saw that there were too many people in the penalty area. He had no room for an inside running position. Manchester United are now a five-back formation.


    So he pulled it out, dribbling twice after taking the ball on the left, Beckham knocked him from behind, the referee signaled Beckham foul and gave Millwall a free kick.


    Ronaldinho stood up and quickly pressed the ball. Without a straight waist, he kicked quickly.


    He kicked the ball towards the middle.


    Scholes stared at Pirlo, Pirlo had a better chance, but he chose to miss the ball, Nedvide inserted forward, Keane closely followed him, the leaked ball landed on Lampard In front of him, Giggs caught Larsen a little far from Lampard, and it would be too late to defend again.


    Lampard chose long-range under unmarked.


    Aldridge raised his chin on the sidelines and said everything to himself.


    "All you need is a long shot from you! Boom into Lao Tzu!"


    This long-range starting position is just two meters before the penalty area. This is an area where the long-range shot should hit the quality, not as accidental as the long-range shot from forty yards.


    All the fans stood up, watching the long shot from Lampard nervously.


    I saw that the ball passed through Manchester United''s rear line like a shell and went straight to the goal.


    However, the angle is somewhat positive!


    Vigorously banging the door less than half a meter from the ground almost flew a meter to the right of Vanderbilt.


    Van der Gu fell to the ground with both hands to block the ball, blocking it, but blocked it, but Lampard''s long-range shot was too strong, and Van der Gu could not hold the ball at all.


    Lampard saw the ball blocked, holding his head in his hands, and the next second, the ball that popped out suddenly flew to Manchester United''s goal.


    I saw the ball hanging upright and then rolled down.


    All Manchester United players are stunned if they are struck by lightning.


    Henry climbed up from the crowd and ran wildly on the sidelines with open arms!


    It was him. When the ball bounced back into the penalty area, the whole person flew out and kicked the ball back into Manchester United''s goal with the sole of the foot. It also allowed Manchester United to be kicked into **** directly after landing from heaven.


    Keane, who scored the first record for Manchester United, kicked fiercely on the goalpost, and he kept muttering with a greasy expression: "Why? Why? Why? Why!"


    Why Millwall is not to be defeated!


    0:2, 1:3, 2:4!


    Why don''t you **** give up!


    Why not crash!


    Why not surrender!


    Why not... in the end... why...


    After Henry scored the ball, Aldridge slowly raised his arms, clenched his fists in both hands, and then waved down heavily. When he raised his head again, the calm look disappeared and replaced with a beaming smile.


    The moment when the record of winning streak in the five major European leagues is in sight!

 Chapter 469： What is football?

    Martin Taylor''s crazy commentary, Aldridge is impossible to hear on the spot.


    But he can see the fans who stand like crazy lions in the audience, can see the red devil fans who are sad and numb, can see the blue waves in the stands of Henry who is running, and can see the coaching staff The members and the substitute players rushed out obliviously to participate in the celebration of the players on the field.


    Of course, he could see a Scottish old man standing resolutely in the cold wind just a short distance away.


    The live footage turned to Aldridge immediately after Millwall players gathered on the sidelines to celebrate.


    Perhaps, the live broadcasters must be looking forward to it: Come on, Aldridge, to celebrate with passion, we will give you the best close-up shots!


    However, Aldridge walked steadily to the players, reaching for one of them.


    Everyone saw Aldridge hooked Neal''s neck and walked back while telling something in his ear.


    The fourth official played full stoppage time at this time: 3 minutes.


    Before the game restarts, Aldridge uses the last substitution.


    Neil went on and replaced Henry, the hero of the goal.


    The audience applauded, and Henry raised his head and raised his hands above his head to applaud the audience.


    When he was off the court, Aldridge put a hand in the pocket and stretched out the other hand. The apprentice and the apprentice passed each other after a high-five.


    Millwall changed back to a 4-guard formation, and because of Lampard''s appearance, he and Nedved can still form a defensive barrier.


    Manchester United, because of the previous removal of the Black Wind and Double Sha, replaced Elvin, and now only Solskjaer is left on the front line, not even a high point.


    When Manchester United kicked off the first wave of attack was too anxious, Beckham missed Solskjaer''s pass and was resolved by Millwall. In the following time, Millwall firmly controlled the ball. Manchester United In the frontcourt, they took the ball to the midfield, and then controlled the midfield again. Manchester United''s defender did not dare to press it, especially when watching the frontcourt players being teased.


    When the time on the scoreboard reached 92:40, Lions Cave Stadium sounded a huge countdown from the fans.


    5, 4, 3, 2, 1...


    The head referee was very reasonable and didn''t give more than a second, even if Millwall changed his person during stoppage time.


    Because in the past two minutes or more, Manchester United has not touched the ball, Schneider stepped on the ball at the sideline position and no one grabbed it. Giggs was slipped back and forth and gave up. He could not grab it alone. Drop the ball.


    The audience burst into thunderous cheers when the whistle sounded.


    "In the 17th round of the Premier League, Millwall vs. Manchester United''s focus game ended the game. The score was 5:4. Millwall scored three goals in the second half of the second half to reverse Manchester United! Congratulations Millwall, 21st consecutive season Victory, they once again set their five consecutive league winning records, and we should also applaud Manchester United. The game between Millwall and Manchester United will inevitably remain a classic in the history of the Premier League. Hall and Sir Ferguson, in the long-term confrontation between the two, Hall won again, I think this victory brought Manchester United a blow, as much as Millwall at Old Trafford 0:6. The painful result of blood washing, because Manchester United started from the first minute to 81 minutes, and they have been leading for 80 minutes, and they have been leading by two goals for a long time, but in the end, they did not even have a draw Yes, English football should thank these two teams. They are the mainstay of the Premier League and have dedicated such a wonderful game to us. Next, we will still focus our attention on Millwall, because they are likely to continue to refresh Record, friends, see you next week."


    The game was settled, and Millwall players shouted their arms.


    Aldrich turned his head to look at the players who stood up from the bench and smiled at them: "Go, go to celebrate."


    These players also walked into the field to celebrate with their teammates.


    Some of Manchester United¡¯s players are full of sadness, some are full of sadness, and they are even more frustrated. They are like a body with a soul stripped away. Withdrawing from the field, as if he had just failed in a life-and-death war and became a national slave...


    Aldridge walked indifferently to the immobile Ferguson, and asked softly, "A drink?"


    Ferguson recovered and turned his head to stare at Aldridge for thirty seconds. His expression became calm and natural. He shook his head and walked into the player''s channel without a word.


    Aldridge turned around, applauded to the stands, and then walked into the player channel.


    Just walked in, I saw the staff nervously walked in front of him and whispered: "Just now a Manchester United player kicked the door of the visiting team''s locker room. In order to avoid conflicts, are there more security guards coming over?"


    Aldrich shook his head and said: "There is no need to block the news internally in this matter, don''t spread it out."


    Manchester United lost an absolutely unwilling game. The players have emotions to vent, but it is normal. It has nothing to do with the game. The players of the two teams have not made extraordinary moves on the court.


    One more thing is worse than one less. The next time I meet Manchester United, I don¡¯t know when it will be. The negative news is bound to make Millwall the focus. This kind of mischief is not involved.


    At the press conference after the game, Ferguson used diplomatic rhetoric to deal with the media''s rhetoric.


    The reporters believed that Manchester United had two two-ball lead opportunities, but none of them made adjustments to maintain the victory and aimed at Ferguson.


    After Manchester United experienced a small goal but a mentally severe match, Ferguson must stabilize the internal military, so he did not have the energy to fight the media, so he used diplomatic rhetoric, which will inevitably make the Fleet Street fall.


    But in this way, Ferguson has become a "victim" image, how do others not matter, what do Manchester United players think? The game was lost, and their head coach was slammed by the outside world, which would actually strengthen the cohesion within Manchester United.


    Aldridge also used diplomatic rhetoric in the interview, but his gesture made the Fleet Street praise.


    Won''t you be arrogant or defeated? Millwall won Manchester United. What''s there to be proud of?


    Originally, from the outside, this was a confrontation between defenders and challengers. Millwall was defending the throne. Manchester United''s challenge failed. Millwall should face this result calmly and low-key, because as a defender They must also meet one challenger after another. If the mindset cannot be set squarely, the position of the king cannot sit for long.


    Millwall wanted to be low-key, Fleet Street did not agree.


    This is the most exciting and exciting game of the Premier League this season, and it is also a game that all Europe is paying attention to before the start of the game.


    The following day, the headline title of the "Times" football section was: Millwall League 21-game winning streak, congratulations to Millwall''s successful defending Premier League!


    It''s hard to imagine that in the beginning of December, a rigorous newspaper like The Times will use such seemingly unrealistic headlines.


    The point emphasized in the content is strongly persuasive: there are 21 rounds left in the league, Millwall points exceed Manchester United 15 points, and the goal difference exceeds 12 opponents. If Manchester United will reverse, then the remaining 21 Win 5 more games than Millwall in the round! Analyzing Millwall''s losses in a single season in the past, Millwall''s league loss statistics show that in the 21 round of the league, they will only lose at most 2 games. In other words, if Millwall gets a draw, Manchester United need to win The number of games will increase, and at the same time, Manchester United must first ensure that they lose less than Millwall, that is, in the 21-round league, they can only lose one game!


    The Premier League title fight is over.


    All Premier League fans, and even fans who occasionally watch Premier League news all over the world, are extremely convinced of this.


    Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Leeds United, they can go to the runner-up, or, three Champions League seats.


    "Daily Mail" used the game process to report the game.


    "0:1, 0:2, 1:2, 1:3, 2:3, 2:4, 3:4, 4:4, 5:4! Millwall scored a small victory over Manchester United, the first in the cross-season league A 21-game winning streak was born!"


    The unorthodox "Sun" was popular, with the title of the interview with the famous Reinkel.


    "What is football? Football is a sport invented by the British. After 22 people on the field fought hard and after 90 minutes of hard work, Millwall finally won the game!"


    Not to mention, the Sun¡¯s sales skyrocketed this day, because British fans naturally bought a copy when they saw the title.


    Very familiar!


    This sentence is still said by Reinkel, which is one word away from another famous quote he said.


    England has an unbeaten record for more than 20 years. Because of this, Reinkel once said: What is football? Football is an invention invented by the British. After 22 people on the field fighting fiercely for 90 minutes, the Germans finally won the game!


    Today, he changed the German to Millwall.


    Especially after witnessing Manchester United seemingly unable to defeat Millwall, Reinkel may have the same feeling as many fans: Will Millwall lose?


    "The Sun" also listed the same type of speech.


    What is the Premier League? The Premier League is composed of 20 English clubs. After 380 brutal and fierce battles, three teams were relegated, sixteen teams competed for the league runner-up, and Millwall won the league!


    The impact of Millwall''s 21-game winning streak is too strong, just like the influence of the Milan dynasty that swept the hearts of fans around the world.


    "The Guardian" did not report the results of the game, it was unique, and used a combined picture in the front page of the football news of the day.


    In the picture are four coaches, Ferguson, Wenger, Viali and O''Reilly.


    The close-up actions of the four selected coaches are the same, all of which are instant close-ups of the four looking up.


    It seems that there are subtexts suggesting that the four coaches raised their heads and asked Cang Tian: Where is the road? !


    News content is more direct.


    0: 8!


    0:3!


    0: 5!


    4:5!


    This is the result of these four coaches leading the team against Millwall in the new season.


    At the bottom is a black ink bold score.


    4:21!


    Millwall scored 21 goals in these four teams and only lost four.


    With the attention and sensation brought by this game, Fleet Street is also building momentum for Millwall players'' Golden Ball Awards.


    This is something that all European media have to do over the past period of time.


    Millwall sets a new record, and this is the biggest news.


    Aldridge didn''t care much about the results of the Golden Globe Awards. He was about to enter the Christmas Express soon, and he began to think about "holiday" for the players.

 Chapter 470： Sign shipping

    As the head coach, you can''t passively adjust the lineup. For example, if you find that a certain player''s status has started to decline, let the players rest or adjust, find out the reason to solve it.


    The head coach has the obligation and responsibility to detect problems early and prevent them from escaping. This is a manifestation of the ability to control the team.


    Sometimes the player¡¯s own stubbornness is also not correct, such as taking a wound to play, the spirit is commendable, but the actual effect may not be good.


    Two days after the battle with Manchester United, on the evening of Tuesday, Aldridge sat in the office to sort out the information. He just had a pre-match preparation meeting with the players. That meeting was easier because the next game is tomorrow¡¯s Champions League group In the final round of the game, Millwall had already qualified in advance and planned to send a full bench to play against the visiting Galatasaray. As a result, he didn''t have to worry about anything. The important thing is whether the purpose of training players is achieved.


    Dangdang!


    When someone knocked on the door, Aldridge looked up and said, "Please come in."


    The door opened and a head leaned in. Ronaldinho.


    Aldridge saw him come over with a hippie smile, sat down opposite the desk, and pushed an envelope on the table before Aldridge.


    Aldridge frowned, and asked, "Short holiday?"


    That envelope was given to Ronaldinho in the morning. At the same time, he also sent a copy of the first-team players, especially the offensive players, with Christmas cards in them, as well as vacation notices for the players.


    Since Millwall has six players shortlisted for the Golden Globe Awards and Christmas is approaching, the recent schedule is relatively easy. Aldridge simply gave them a collective holiday and let them go to the Golden Globe Awards ceremony. After the end, they directly spent Christmas with their families Festival, after ten days of rest, come back to report and start preparing for the second half of the league.


    Ronaldinho shook his head with a smile and said, "Boss, I only need three days of vacation, three days before and after Christmas."


    He is different from other players. His family is in Brazil. Besides the summer, he can only go back to Christmas once a year. Even if he goes to the national team to report, the schedule is very urgent. After all, if he goes to the national team, he also needs to Training competitions are not vacations.


    Aldrich leaned back in the boss chair and stared at Ronaldinho for a minute, then laughed lightly and said, "Is it too much for you?"


    Ronaldinho shrugged: "I don''t want to make myself look special on the team."


    Aldridge nodded and said, "Well, I understand, then you will return to the team on the 27th."


    Ronaldinho stood up and laughed and waved goodbye to Aldridge, closing the office door lightly.


    A few minutes later, Pirlo, Nedved, Larson, Henry, Schneider, the five players who were also selected for the Golden Globes list, also placed the envelope on Aldridge''s desk.


    They had the same idea as Ronaldinho. Some people think the holidays are too long, and some people simply don''t want them.


    Aldrich stood up after sending them away, walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked at the beautiful scenery of the setting sun in the distance, closing his eyes and smiling happily.


    The following night, Wembley.


    Aldridge stood in the locker room before the game. Today, 11 players wearing starting jerseys are nervous. Some people are nervous. Villa is one.


    He sat there early to sort out the jerseys and sneaker guards and other equipment, and sat in wait for Aldridge''s pre-match training.


    "We have already qualified for the UEFA Champions League, and today we have only one requirement: you can play at the level you need for training."


    After talking, Aldridge turned and walked out.


    Villa looked shocked.


    This, this, this is over?


    Other players such as Glenchard, Lampard, Gattuso, etc., even though they are substitutes, have also stood the battlefield. Treating such a stress-free game, they actually have to do what Aldridge said: perform well It is enough to show the results of the training.


    At Wembley, Aldridge met with Trim again. This time, he stepped forward and took the initiative to shake hands with the other party, and then left with a simple greeting.


    The attendance on the court has dropped a lot, because Millwall has already qualified in advance, and before the game Aldridge said that he will be on the bench, it is normal for the enthusiasm of neutral fans to subside.


    "The final round of the UEFA Champions League Group H group stage will end today. Millwall has 5 wins, 4 wins, 1 draw and 13 points ahead of the group. Galatasaray has 5 wins, 1 draw and 3 draws. With a negative score of 4 points, there is a gap of 3 points from Hertha Berlin, the second place in the group, and they have to beat their respective opponents in the same situation as AC Milan to have the possibility of promotion. At least this opportunity, Millwall sees It came to Galatasaray, and today they sent a full bench to face it."


    Goalkeeper: Keller.


    Defenders: Ferreira, Neal, Balzali, Cole.


    Midfielders: Gattuso, Lampard, Ramall.


    Strikers: Van der Mede, Villa, Glenn Carr.


    Aldridge sat down today and watched the game with his chin.


    Don''t look at him on the bench, but he has no worries about the game.


    He likes this kind of game the most, not specifically who the opponent is, but the game situation.


    Galatasaray came away and wanted to advance, Mo said a draw must win!


    And because there may be situations where the three teams have the same score, they must also score a big victory.


    The other party has no other choice, they must break through the wreck, and attack the hostile opponents!


    Having learned the lesson of playing AC Milan away from the road, Aldridge asked Neal to partner with Barzali to provide experience and strengthen protection in the back line, at least it is a peace of mind.


    And this young back line has fought against AC Milan, and his confidence has improved. At least he will not be overwhelmed. At the same time, Galatasaray is not as hard as AC Milan. In the face of the other party¡¯s mad attack, the pressure will be lower than the previous year. .


    The trend of this game is about the same as Aldridge''s expectation.


    Trim put on a radical 4123 offensive formation, and at the same time let the players compete for goals on the sidelines.


    On the basis of Millwall''s good defense, the defensive counterattack hit very well.


    Less than 10 minutes into the opening, Glennshire and Villa each missed a single-handed opportunity!


    The scene is very exciting, especially eye-catching, because Galatasaray attacked fiercely, Millwall counterattack is also deadly.


    Unfortunately, at the end of the first half, the score looks unhappy.


    1:0!


    Neither Grenchar nor Villa scored goals, but instead Van der Mede and Ramall played a match. Eventually, Ramall calmly pushed the shot in the penalty area to rewrite the score.


    In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought back. The Turkish "Emperor" simply didn''t even need a lower back. He went straight to 433, three forwards, one midfielder and two front midfielders.


    Soon, his team was punished. The defense without a midfielder interception was full of loopholes. In the 49th minute, Lamor assisted the anti-offside successful Villa and sent the ball to the door.


    2: 0!


    Substitution, Aldridge.


    Klose went up and Villa went down.


    Joe Cole went up and Ramall went down.


    When Villa is off the court, he may want to be praised by Aldridge. He deliberately walks slowly and slowly in front of Aldridge, but Aldridge''s expression has not changed, but he nodded to him.


    what is this?


    Villa sat down with some loss and accepted the congratulations from his teammates.


    After a while, he remembered what Aldridge said to him on the bus, and his heart was relieved.


    Yes, he scored a goal, but at least three golden opportunities were wasted. Should he be praised?


    If it was Henry or Larson who got such a chance, at least they could go in.


    Be calm and keep working hard.


    In the 68th minute of the game, Klose assisted in a wave of counterattacks to Glencharr, who succeeded in a long shot at a 45-degree angle and extended the score to 3:0.


    Aldridge used the last substitution and allowed Vicente to play for goalkeeper Glenshare.


    Since then, the game has returned to normal. Galatasaray fell behind by three goals. It is undoubtedly a fool''s dream to want to reverse it. Their players also accepted the reality. In order to prevent it from becoming a massacre, they chose to be conservative and solid defense to avoid dropping one. ball.


    After 20 minutes of unrest, the slow pace came to the end.


    Aldridge got up and walked with Trim and shook his hand before turning into the player channel.


    Millwall Champions League group stage 6 games 5 wins 1 draw undefeated posture strong promotion to the top 16.


    In the last round of the same group, AC Milan still failed to win the Hertha Berlin and got a draw. The Hertha Berlin entered the top 16 in the second group, while AC Milan benefited from Galatasaray¡¯s double killing by Millwall After getting the third place, you can move to the UEFA Cup.


    The dust of the UEFA Champions League group stage was settled. The next day, the first round of the UEFA Cup group stage also came to an end. Another day, Aldridge and his colleagues from the coaching staff gathered in the club''s recreation room at night. They drank beer and chatted to watch TV.


    The draw of the four teams in the UEFA Champions League 16 teams is in progress. Aldridge and his coaching staff have a lot of talking and laughing, and there is no slight tension in their mentality.


    When Millwall''s second round of group draws came out, Boas excitedly stood with his fists up and cheered, and the other coaching staff roared with excitement.


    Millwall''s signing is simply not good anymore!


    Bordeaux, Feyenoord, Lazio, Millwall.


    The top 16 draws, 4 teams, 4 teams in each team, two teams first and two teams second.


    Millwall itself is the first qualifying group. In the new group, Lazio is also the first place in the previous round of the group round. The second only to Lazio in strength is Rosenberg and Sparta Prague. The key is two The second in this group, Feyenoord and Bordeaux, should be the second weakest two of the eight groups, which ruled out Hertha Berlin that could not be in the same group as Millwall.


    In this way, Millwall''s signing is very good.


    While others were celebrating, they found Aldridge''s thoughtful look.


    "Audrich, are you upset?"


    Klinsmann asked in surprise.


    Aldridge smiled slightly and said, "I prefer to be in a group with Bayern Munich, Barcelona, ??Florence or Porto."


    "what?!"


    Everyone''s expression became shocked.


    Aldrich said that the grouping situation is almost the strongest death group with the lowest probability of the second round of the group stage!


    Jenson wondered: "What''s the benefit?"


    "In this way, two or one strong enemies can be eliminated first, and the probability of encountering the strong enemies in the knockout will be lower.


    Everyone suddenly realized, and listened to Aldridge continue to say: "It is also for the players to maintain their status. We were divided into relatively weak groups. That is to say, before the knockout, the test and pressure were not great, and when we entered the knockout, Suddenly encountering a strong enemy with a disparity in strength from previous opponents is not a good thing."


    Hearing this, the joy of the coaching staff suddenly dissipated.


    When they summed up the reasons for the UEFA Champions League last season, one of the things that everyone cannot ignore is that before encountering Bayern Munich, Millwall was too smooth, defeated Dynamo Kyiv in two rounds of the quarterfinals without suspense, and then suddenly Playing Bayern Munich, this kind of opponent with obvious gap in strength, will cause certain play restrictions in the game.


    If you compare the schedule of winning the Champions League last season, they will face Juventus directly in the quarter-finals. The quarter-finals and Monaco were sent off for the opening game. The difficulty of the game has actually increased a lot. It is also such a difficult victory that came over. In the final, Millwall was more calm and able to play his best and extraordinary level.

 Chapter 471： King

    The result of a game occurs within 90 minutes, but the factors that lead to this result are not all the content of the 90-minute game. It may be one week, one month, or even two months before the game. One of the decisive factors that formed in the past is the 90 minutes.


    This is one of the reasons why sometimes when the two strong teams with balanced strength encounter each other, the strong teams that seem to break the table occasionally encounter a fiasco.


    With years of experience leading the team, Aldridge has not only looked at the success or failure within 90 minutes, but the preparation for a game is no longer such a short cycle of one week and half a month before the game.


    It will be longer, one month, two months.


    The team''s state is divided into physical state and competitive state. The physiological state is scientifically analyzed by the club''s medical team as a reference. The competitive state must be adjusted by a high-level coaching team and the head coach himself.


    Under normal circumstances, Henry''s ability is stronger than Klose, the gap is a half level, which means that Henry is already a first-class striker in Europe, but Klose can only be considered average.


    When Henry''s competitive state is at the "excellent" level, he may have surpassed Klose''s two strength levels, but if Henry''s competitive state is "poor", and Klose''s competitive state is "excellent", Maybe Klose will perform better than Henry on the field!


    How to maintain the competitive state of players is a test of the ability of the head coach.


    In general awareness, there is probably a hard indicator requirement for excellent head coaches: the competitive state of excellent players must be maintained at all times.


    But the reality is: this is impossible!


    No player is able to maintain from the beginning to the end. The 90 minutes of each game are maintained at the pinnacle of the competitive state. In the long history of history, all the selected ball kings cannot do this.


    Therefore, in reality, those strong teams that only rely on the main 11 players to play the world seem to be luxurious, but due to the fluctuation of the player''s competitive state, the probability of achieving glory is very low.


    It can also be seen that many famous coaches will unexpectedly make lineup adjustments during the long season, which is unexpected: Why are there excellent players who are not injured or sick, but do not let him play? Then the outside world began various suspicions, whether there was a problem in the dressing room, whether the general was in disagreement, whether the player was leaving the team, etc. In fact, the answer is very simple, is to adjust the player''s competitive state.


    A veritable and excellent head coach should know how to use the players flexibly. According to the situation, a good employment strategy can achieve twice the result with half the effort.


    This is not to say that players in poor condition must not be used. If this is the case, then it is too rigid.


    For example, Henry in poor condition may be busy in front of the defense of the top giants, but he can still be awesome in front of the defense of the fish belly team, because even if the condition is worse, there will be a limit. It is useless.


    This employment strategy is similar to Tian Ji horse racing, the key is the strength assessment knows each other, whether the head coach can be insightful, grasp the game situation accurately.


    Millwall has made a jaw-dropping record since the new season, not only by himself, but also by the schedule. The schedule has helped the team to better adjust the competitive state.


    At the beginning of the league, they played against Tottenham in the middle, Liverpool in the middle and upper reaches, played confidence, and played out the state, followed by a wave of schedules against the middle and downstream teams to maintain this state. By October, the strong dialogue began. The state was quickly stimulated again, and began to burst out. The league with the downstream teams could be properly rested and adjusted slightly until the game against Manchester United continued the state and hit the final limit. The influencing factors include Many other aspects, such as the selection of the Golden Globe Awards.


    At this time, Aldridge will not ask the team to work harder. The peak of the competitive state has reached the end of the crossbow, and after the dust of the Golden Globe Awards is settled, the player¡¯s physical state will also begin to decline, so, He gave the players a holiday, even if the players didn''t want to, but in the next schedule, he will still actively adjust.


    Therefore, he hopes to complete the intermittent adjustment of the team before mid-February, and then start the sprint of the second half of the season. At this time, the Champions League is divided into a relatively weak group, which he thinks is not a good thing.


    As for preferring to be divided into the group of death, he was joking.


    At the very least, he hopes that there will be a super strong team, a first-class strong team, a quasi-first-class strong team in the same group. This will be better for Millwall who can focus on the Champions League in the second half of the season. To play in the state to meet the knockout, it doesn''t matter if you lose in the second round of the group stage, it is better than the abuse of vegetables and the confidence to go to the knockout to face the strong enemy.


    It¡¯s already impossible for Audridge to run to UEFA to request a new draw, or to exchange with other teams with more strong teams. Even if the other party is willing, UEFA will not agree, and the other three teams will definitely We also have to sue Millwall: We have angered you? Can''t you live with us? Must have a group with us!


    The key to the next work is the ability of Aldridge himself and his colleagues.


    The weekend league played Derbyshire at home, Millwall played lightly, withdrew a few main players, and used some young players to play. He won the 2-0 position in the middle and upper reaches of last season, but this season has fallen into relegation. The ranks of mediocre teachers.


    The 22-game winning streak came across the season, and at this time, the entire European football are numb.


    Swipe, swipe, depending on when Millwall can swipe this record!


    At night, Aldridge put on his coat and walked out of the house, went straight to the door of the apartment opposite, and gently pressed the doorbell.


    Yi Wen, who was wearing casual clothes at home in winter, was surprised to see Aldridge standing in front of her door. She hurriedly opened the door and looked a little flattered, saying, "Please come in."


    Aldridge smiled and said, "I am alone and want to go outside. Is there time to accompany me?"


    Surprised by Yi Wen, she turned back and pointed to the TV in the living room. In the TV picture, the Golden Globe ceremony was being broadcast live.


    "sorry for disturbance."


    Aldridge still smiled and turned to leave.


    "Wait! I asked, don''t you read it?"


    "Oh, come home at night to know the result."


    "Then wait 5 minutes for me, no, 3 minutes!"


    After finishing speaking, Ewen ran upstairs, and within two minutes, he hurriedly cleaned up his appearance, put on a white coat, and walked out of the house with Aldridge.


    ...


    At the golden ball selection scene, six Millwall players attended. They sat together and became the focus. The suits and leather shoes were handsome and handsome, and their families also came to the scene.


    Ronaldinho and Schneider talked and smiled easily.


    The two knew that they were here to join in the fun. Although they were shortlisted, there are more people with dazzling data than their stadium. Today, it also means cheering for teammates.


    The big screen constantly broadcasts the candidate¡¯s annual exciting moments of the stadium. This kind of clips are the most beneficial for the offensive players or forwards, because the most shocking thing on the court is the moment of scoring. Others, such as defenders In the midfield, scoring is not their first priority, and they can''t fully reflect their talents.


    When the final result was announced, the audience applauded.


    Nedved stood up from his seat.


    Millwall''s second Mr. Golden Ball, was born!


    Nedved pressed Rivaldo, and Beckham won the 99th Golden Ball.


    Maybe he lacks the honor of the Copa America than Rivaldo, and also has fewer Champions League titles than Beckham.


    However, the European Golden Globe Awards also have a certain taste for compensation. If Zidane won the World Cup last year, how would Nedved get second?


    This year, as a midfielder, he has more goals per year than Rival, with only 6 fewer assists than Beckham, and Beckham can¡¯t match the goals, and led Millwall to last season. Double crown, since the start of this season, Millwall has become the most shining team in Europe, and has just set a record for the five major European league winning streak, 22 games, this record may be refreshed, Nedved contributed.


    He kissed his wife at the scene, and he did not walk up to the stage because he was embracing with five other teammates who were present.


    Shevchenko, who ranked sixth in the final selection results, also sat not far away. He took the initiative to stand up and congratulate former teammate Nedvide. The two also hugged.


    When Nedvide stepped on the stage, he stared at the Golden Globe for ten seconds, then raised his head and smiled, but his eyes were already wet, a tear fell down his face, and he wiped it off with a smile.


    "In the summer of 1994, I came to London from the Czech Republic and played for Aldrich Hall¡¯s team. At that time, he said that in the future, I will become a star. I believe that he, like my teammates, is convinced Undoubtedly, I am standing here five and a half years later. I thank my family and teammates for accompanying me to today, but, boss, I will not be grateful to you here, no, because You and Millwall will always be here, forever."


    Nedved held the Golden Globe in his left hand and stroked his right hand with his right hand.


    Larson, Ronaldinho, Pirlo, Schneider, and Henry all stood up and applauded, and then there was a burst of warm applause.


    In the selection, Larson and Henry ranked fourth, fifth, Ronaldinho tenth, Pirlo thirteenth, and Schneider only got a poor vote and ranked twenty-fourth.


    In any case, there are four Millwall players in the top ten, and Nedved won the Golden Globe Awards, which is a bumper harvest for Millwall.


    At the same time, beside the Thames, Aldridge leaned back against the fence and looked up at the starry night sky. Ewen boldly threw himself into his arms and hugged tightly. Aldridge closed his eyes, letting his fragrance linger and sniff straight into the heart.


    ...


    Millwall made two Golden Globes in three years. Larson and Nedved won the Golden Globe Awards. In addition, as many as six players were selected this year, and young players such as Pirlo, Ronaldinho, and Henry In the first place, people have no doubt that in the future, they will also become popular candidates for the Golden Globe Awards.


    People are already familiar with the success of the Millwall, insisting on the development of the club¡¯s route with the youth training policy, and harvesting two golden balls. The Leo Training Base of the Millwall Club has been known by the outside world as: Superstar cradle.


    At the same time, young coach Aldridge, only 23 years old, was given a new name.


    Kingmaker!


    The outside world is beginning to look forward to who the next player will be trained by Aldridge to enter the Golden Globe Temple. There are many candidates for the king. Ronaldinho, Henry and Pirlo are all ready-made. Candidates, and those young players who have grown steadily in the club, who can guarantee that they will not shine in the future?

 Chapter 472： Win the title seal

    This year''s Christmas War is not on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, but on the 27th.


    As the last league match in the first half of the league, Millwall will go away to challenge the newly promoted team, while also struggling in the relegation vortex Milton Keynes.


    Due to the obvious gap between strength and weakness, at the pre-match press conference, Fleet Street paid more attention to the Golden Globe Awards just passed. If not unexpected, Mr. World Football will also be included in Nedved.


    When Aldridge was asked about Nedved''s awards, he smiled and replied: "In the past few years, some people have been picking faults, saying that Nedved is no better than a player, and it seems to be a little worse. , I have been saying that such a comparison makes no sense, because no player is absolutely perfect, no player is a decathlon, but Nedved has become a phenomenal player, and at the same time, it will also become the next fifteen years For the template of the midfielder, the club will use Nedved as a standard to require players in the same position, physical fitness, defensive awareness, interspersed running in a large range of activities, tandem offense, and the threat of breaking the door after the right time. I am very happy that his efforts have paid off and I am honored to have a professional player like him. I hope every Millwall player, especially young players, can follow Nedved as an example. Seoul will become stronger and stronger."


    Now that Audridge has said this, the media can''t refute it.


    But for a long time in the past, people always liked to criticize Nedved for his lack of talent.


    This is an ignorant prejudice. Indeed, on the court, there are too many front waist players who play football and look aura, and the style of the game is pleasing to the eyes.


    But that''s about it. Playing well doesn''t mean playing practically. It doesn''t mean that it has a positive effect on the entire team. This is not a fancy performance. Doing a few actions to win applause won''t make the score rewrite.


    For this reason, Aldridge often responds in only one way: you can find me a player who can replace Nedved!


    Then this battle of words will end without ill.


    On the one hand, someone is saying who is better than Nedved, but on the one hand, it is impossible to find a candidate who can actually replace Nedved in Millwall. This situation makes the media very crazy, the situation is so subtle, it seems obvious A common star, but just can''t find a suitable candidate who can be absolutely replaced.


    When Nedved began to score, all the media closed their mouths, and after a period of silence, the tone changed and began to sing praises for Nedved.


    On the day of Game 27, several players who participated in the Golden Globe Awards returned to the team on time. They just missed the two days of training during Christmas, but they returned to the team and still did not enter the game roster.


    On the road, the lively substitute team was very motivated, and Milton Keynes was killed 3-1 on the road.


    Millwall ended his first half of the league with a 19-game victory.


    This is no longer news, and Manchester United have also won in the last two rounds. The gap between the two teams is still 15 points. The hope of reversal is extremely slim.


    Two days later, the Premier League drove a fast train and Millwall returned to London to play away, and played a London Derby with Graham''s Tottenham.


    Graham used the old tactics of the dead, successfully sniping Millwall in White Hart Lane, 0-0 closed.


    Millwall''s winning streak was set at 19 consecutive wins in a single season and 23 consecutive wins across the season.


    In response, Aldridge said with a smile after the game: "Well, we stopped the record-setting pace, maybe it is a good thing, which can reduce the pressure on the players and help our next performance."


    It¡¯s bound to be an exciting process to set a record and create a new history, but in this process, pressure will gradually accumulate. The new record has been rewritten. At this time, the pressure should be removed. The timing should be pretty good. In a few league games, it was almost time for the start of the European War in February. At that time, the psychological condition was not as easy as it is now.


    Nedved won the Golden Globe Award, which has a positive stimulation on the spirit of his teammates.


    Players like Henry, Larson, and Ronaldinho will fight immediately after the arrival of January.


    For them, to get more personal honor, there is no doubt that they need to rely on the field data to support.


    The striker does not have a beautiful number of goals for the capital, why compete for personal honor?


    Their desire to fight is strong, but Aldridge still needs to adjust the team.


    Therefore, in the league, he began to use the main force of the offensive group, and the strategy of using the substitute in the midfield and backcourt.


    In the newly opened FA Cup, the offensive team is used as a substitute, and the main defense strategy is used.


    January 4th.


    Nedved presented the Golden Globe to the fans at the Lion''s Cave Stadium. The team took a group photo. The fans also applauded the steel giant. The fans of the Lions believe that Nedved won the award. It¡¯s like the club¡¯s declaration every summer that it refuses to buy Nedved from another club: even if it¡¯s ¡ê100 million, we won¡¯t sell it!


    The visiting Liverpool players watched Millwall starters take a group photo, especially in the middle of the Golden Globe in the hands of Nedved, saying that they are not envious, it is definitely deceiving, but what about it? Can only envy.


    Aldridge chatted with Holliday, and the other congratulated Aldridge on cultivating a Mr. Golden Ball. The famous name of "King Builder" is now awesome.


    Aldridge had no choice but to be humble.


    When the game started, the two''s positions instantly became hostile.


    Millwall made six absolute main players today.


    The striker Trident Ganedved, Southgate and goalkeeper Bout in the backcourt.


    Pirlo rested on the bench, with Lampard as the midfielder.


    It seems that Millwall''s starting strength has declined, but this situation has left Holier a problem.


    Millwall is obviously attacking the strong and defending the weak, of course, this is based on their comparison of starting the main force as the standard.


    What about Liverpool?


    Is it offense or defense?


    Shou''s words, isn''t that letting the other party''s gorgeous attack group wreak havoc?


    What should I do if I get attacked?


    Offensive and defensive is a whole, no matter what choices are made, risks cannot be avoided.


    This game really exploded Hollier''s heart attack. He did have a heart attack...


    Liverpool played a defensive counterattack at the start.


    However, the counterattack did not dare to invest too much force, so relying on two or three players to counterattack had little effect.


    So Liverpool increased its investment in counterattacks.


    In the fast pace, Liverpool''s counterattack did not hit, turned around and was counterattacked. Carragher, who was serving as a full-back, was stunned by Ronaldinho. He was not a full-back material, plus lack of top-level Ronaldinho''s playing experience collapsed quickly.


    Carragher hardly ever made a defensive prediction correctly.


    He cut inside, Ronaldinho came to the bottom, he blocked the bottom line, Ronaldinho easily broke past him.


    If it were not for the 3H defensive combination that had a better tacit understanding than the beginning of the season, Liverpool estimated that they would be screened in the first half.


    At the end of the first half, the score was 2:1.


    Ronaldinho and Henry scored one goal each.


    In the second half, it turned into Millwall playing a defensive counterattack. Liverpool were not willing to score a point away from the road, and they must attack. This attack, the 3H back defense combination also couldn''t stop Millwall''s sharp counterattack.


    Larson scored twice in the second half to help the team defeat Liverpool 4-1.


    The league with Manchester United and the league with Liverpool became the two case matches after Fleet Street.


    Football commentators unanimously believe that if you face Millwall like Liverpool, fear of the tail, and choose conservatively from the beginning of the tactics, then the result will inevitably be the bitter fruit of the defeat. The reason is simple. Can resist the super strong attack group of Millwall!


    Although Manchester United lost, they have seen hope of victory! If luck is better, such as Lampard''s last long-range miss, or Vanderbilt''s successful save to save the ball, even if it is out of bounds, Millwall may not win in the end.


    Public opinion believes that to get points from Millwall, you must attack boldly and vigorously and targetedly.


    As for whether the iron bucket array can be set up like Tottenham to run away from the end, the risks and benefits are not proportional.


    This is an arithmetic problem.


    Draw a draw, and get 1 or 0 points.


    Attacking boldly, 3, 1, 0 points are possible.


    And Tottenham got a tie?


    Instead, fans¡¯ support for Graham fell, and White Hart Lane fans calling for him to get out are everywhere. Why? Because such a draw makes the fans look down even more than failure!


    In the following month, Millwall scored two wins and two draws in four league games, scored a lot of goals, and the number of goals conceded also increased, because in addition to their own starting strength decline, they did not send the full main force to fight, and also compete with opponents Indeed started to actively attack related.


    In the same period, Manchester United only scored 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in the second half of the six league games. In February, Manchester United lost to Robson-led Newcastle United. The score was an embarrassing 3:0, which led Manchester United to Millwall instead. The gap has been widened again.


    The gap from 15 points to 16 points.


    There are 13 rounds left in the Premier League, major European bookmakers have made adjustments, Premier League betting, Millwall¡¯s option to close the championship, Manchester United¡¯s winning odds have soared to 60 times, followed by Arsenal¡¯s winning odds of 150 Times.


    It is three months before the end of the Premier League season. It is a long time. There seems to be room for miracles in the 13th round of the league, but now only fools will bet on Manchester United or Arsenal to win.


    Don¡¯t look at Millwall¡¯s shift of focus, and slightly underestimate the league, but Aldrich is empathetic. The league can not be Ronaldinho, Nedved, or Pirlo, but Henry, Larson are Inevitably, the two men are scoring goals against the League!


    Even Phillips¡¯ league goals were behind Larsson and Henry, and Phillips opened a gap of 7 goals with the fourth-ranked player in the shooter list. There is no doubt that the Premier League golden boots, Even comparing with other European League shooter list data, this season''s European Golden Boot winner, a large probability is born between these three.


    Henry scored two more goals than Larsen, and his evaluation this season was rising all the way, starting to surpass Larson, because most of Henry¡¯s goals were scored by sports, and a few of them were set balls. Correspondingly, Larson had five penalty kicks.


    In mid-February, the Champions League battle was rekindled, much earlier than in previous years. After all, there were more matches.


    After winning two consecutive matches in the FA Cup, Millwall began to attack the Champions League with all his strength.


    But just as the Champions League was about to start, Aldridge was caught in the whirlpool of public opinion outside the court.


    Just after attending the press conference before the Champions League, Aldridge drove away from the club in the evening, and a high-end car stopped in front of the door, which just blocked Aldridge''s path.


    When Aldridge sounded his horn, the window of the opposite car fell, and the face of an old man who had not seen him for a long time came into view.


    "Aldrich, get in my car, let''s talk about something important."

 Chapter 473： Wave after wave

    Years of work experience, especially in decision-making positions such as head coach and club owner, Audridge does not like accidents in life or work.


    He likes step by step, likes everything in order, his life can be unrest, but can not tolerate accidents.


    There is a car in front of the club blocking his way. This is even an accident. It is a phenomenon that makes him feel disgusted from the bottom of his heart. Even if the person in the opposite car is with goodwill and sincerity, it is also an inexplicable consideration to do so.


    Aldrich did not reflect the displeasure in his heart on his expression. He drove the car and followed the car to leave the club. He stopped until the remote road in the suburbs.


    Then Aldridge got out of the car, opened the door of the car and sat inside.


    The driver is an old opponent and hasn''t seen him in a long time.


    Kevin Keegan!


    The King Keegan of Newcastle United first reached out to shake hands with Aldridge, then smiled: "You must be curious why I came to you."


    Aldridge smiled and said, "Yes, I did not expect it. I thought the next meeting would be at some banquet."


    Such as occasions such as the awards ceremony at the end of the season of the Professional Players Union.


    Keegan smiled slightly and said solemnly: "Aldrich, I want to confirm one thing. Are you friends with me?"


    "Why not?"


    "This is good, this is good."


    Keegan stared at the smiling Aldridge as if he was relieved.


    The two had fought a war of words when they met each other, and there were wins and losses on the field. It¡¯s just that in terms of the severity of the defeat, Keegan should belong to the side that suffered more damage, but he does not think there is a "deep hatred between him and Aldrich." "In particular, it is impossible for him and Ferguson to fight against the war stance as long as there is a chance.


    The two talked about the wine and spoke openly, even though Keegan was a little bit taught by Aldridge in person, he really admired Aldridge''s achievements from the heart.


    Keegan said slowly after a minute of silence: "Football President Thompson called me. The FA is interested in hiring me as coach of the national team. Do you know the news?"


    Aldridge shook his head slightly.


    In fact, he knew three days ago, maybe, earlier than Keegan himself knew.


    Because within the FA, Andrew''s eyes and ears always relay the latest information.


    Among the current local football coaches in England, the prestige, excluding Aldridge, can be higher than Keegan, I am afraid that only Robson, but Robson is already old, and once coached the national team, it is obviously impossible Then go to the New England national team.


    Keegan¡¯s prestige is largely due to the success of his player era, plus the achievements made in Newcastle United. If you only look at the resume, fans who are not familiar with the top leagues in England may think Keegan has nothing to say because he The coaching record does not even have a league title, but everyone who knows him knows that after he took Newcastle United from the second-level league to the Premier League, it directly turned Newcastle United into one of the championship teams, and the distance The championship is only one step away.


    On other England coaches, Redknapp, regardless of player era or coach era, achievements are not as good as Keegan, its prestige can be imagined, but Hodgson has been left because of too long to leave the football world. Unable to trust, plus Hodgson has not been able to achieve results in these years.


    It is still four months before the opening of the European Cup jointly held by Belgium and the Netherlands in the summer. The position of the coach of the England national team has been unresolved. The former head of Leeds United coaching, led by Leeds United to win the last top league championship of the last Premier League. Wilkinson is now in charge The caretaker coach leads the team in a friendly game, but the possibility of correcting is not high, and there are certain factors that are the impact of the mediocre player era.


    Of course, playing football and teaching are two different things, but when Wilkinson left Leeds United, it was at the low point of Leeds United¡¯s decline in the Premier League. His departure had a visual sense of leaving. In the impression, it will give the public his Breaking away from modern ideas, the glory of winning the championship in the summer of 1992 is far from 2000.


    Keegan''s departure is not short. When he left Newcastle United, Newcastle United had been third in the league for the past two seasons. It can''t be said that it was brilliant, but he maintained a high level of impression, but after he left Instead, the successor allowed Newcastle United to leave the contention group and fall into the relegation zone. Now Robson is in charge of the whip to stop the decline and start to rise steadily.


    Therefore, Wilkinson became the caretaker coach and the FA contacted Keegan, which was an unexpected situation.


    Aldridge just didn''t know now that Keegan came to him and expressed something in front of him.


    Keegan leaned in front of Aldridge and said, "Aldrich, let¡¯s join forces! I know you can¡¯t leave Millwall, it doesn¡¯t matter, you just have to spare a little time and work overtime on FIFA Day, We are leading the England national team to the European Cup together. I¡¯m working with you. What a wonderful combination! You can rest assured that all the pressure is on me. This time the European Cup is just a trip. When we are familiar with the team Now that the chaotic national team is back on track, we can focus on the World Cup in 2002 and the European Cup four years later. I believe that the FA will give us this time and the English fans will understand and support !"


    Aldridge froze on the spot.


    old man!


    You really treat me like a three-year-old kid!


    Keegan''s words are very beautiful.


    Cooperation, pressure, prospects...


    In a short time, Aldridge flashed countless thoughts in his head, he knew Keegan''s idea.


    There is no other player in the world, and the coach of the England national team must have only one person. That must be Keegan.


    Keegan now invites him, and the best position is nothing more than an assistant coach.


    It sounds wonderful. Aldridge is an assistant coach and doesn¡¯t need to spend too much time on the national team, but he can use the attention of the national team to improve his reputation. Even if he loses, he loses, Keegan said, he came to carry !


    However, if the British, the English national team in the center of Europe, really fail, this responsibility, Keegan, can you afford it? !


    And once Aldridge agreed, it was equivalent to giving Keegan a long-term meal ticket. He can stay at least two and a half years in the England national team until the end of the 2002 World Cup. Unless, in the 2002 World Cup qualifiers, England is out .


    Aldridge smiled secretly: the other party''s words must be listened to in reverse.


    The two teamed up, if the national team really made a difference, then most of the honor must be Keegan. He is a righteous head coach, and he may still belong to the ascension of the chicken!


    What if the national team fails? Keegan bears the brunt, but Aldridge¡¯s existence will also be magnified indefinitely. Never underestimate the ability of Fleet Street to fall into the trap!


    This is simply a thankless job.


    Risks and benefits are not directly proportional.


    Aldridge made a serious thought, Keegan stared at him fiercely. After waiting for a long time, Aldridge turned his head and frowned: "Kevin, thank you for your invitation. It really makes me feel honored, but I can¡¯t accept it. There are two reasons. First, you have such a brilliant player career. You are the idol of the England internationals now. They will convince you and worship you, and I will leave Millwall for nothing. No, I can''t get the trust of the players when I go to the national team. I just dipped your light, which is not fair to you. Second, you should be able to understand my pressure in the club. I want to manage Millwall, its difficulty As much as a big national team, if I work part-time in the national team now, it will definitely have a negative impact on the team. Tomorrow, we will go to the Champions League game. Right now, it is necessary for me and my team When uniting together, there can be no trace of internal problems."


    Keegan was silent for a few minutes, and finally sighed softly.


    He should understand Aldridge.


    Simply put, enumerating the players of the England national team, and then enumerating the members of the first team of Millwall, the comparison between the two, Millwall''s hard power, definitely exceeds the England national team!


    In other words, the number of stars, player value, fame and other factors combined, managing Millwall itself is much more difficult than managing the England national team.


    Of course, this is Aldridge''s concept of stealing the change to Keegan.


    The national team coach and the club coach must manage the team in two very different modes, and it is impossible to make an analogy.


    Keegan showed a regretful look on his face when he parted.


    Aldridge recalled Keegan''s expression on the way home.


    Perhaps, it is the heart of his villain.


    Keegan may really want the two to join forces to lead this national team that has been expected by the people for more than thirty years to achieve glory.


    Even if it is true, but, I am very sorry, Aldridge does not have such a noble realization.


    He must protect his football reputation from being lost. At this worst moment, he has become involved with the England national team. Four months later, the European Cup was in flames. Aldridge did not think what it would do to be an assistant coach.


    The next day, Millwall Wembley defeated visiting Feyenoord by 2-0 and achieved the opening goal of the second round of the UEFA Champions League.


    After the game, Aldridge was suddenly asked by a reporter: "There is news that the FA will appoint Kevin Keegan as the national team coach. I heard that Keegan has sent you an invitation to invite you as his assistant to lead England National Team, is this news true?"


    Aldrich himself will not take the initiative to leak the news, he did not mention it to anyone.


    The only possibility is that Keegan may have talked to other people around him before being leaked.


    Aldridge thought for a second and immediately smiled and replied: "Fake! I have never received an invitation from Keegan coach. I and other fans are in the same mood, looking forward to Keegan leading the England national team, He is absolutely qualified, so please do not fabricate such false news to harass Keegan and the England national team. This is a very unethical behavior and will negatively affect the England national team."


    After giving a positive answer, the reporter no longer struggled.


    Aldridge was glad that his head was turning fast.


    If he admits, he is not good for himself first, and he is also playing Keegan''s face.


    Keegan will certainly not admit this matter, no matter what his thoughts are, it does not matter. Once he admits to the invitation of Audric in front of the media, it is bound to be interpreted as his lack of confidence.


    This is the end of this matter. For Keegan, he was able to invite successfully, and the two of them were happy together. If they failed, as now, he and Aldrich will inevitably choose to forget, and when asked, they will deny it. .


    Aldridge now puts all his thoughts on Millwall. The team''s final sprint in the second half of the season has been officially launched, but some players in the club have caused trouble and made him feel headache.


    The person who caused the disturbance this time was a wild boy: Drogba!

 Chapter 474： Captain Warcraft!

    Drogba is very different from the traditional African players. This difference refers to the trajectory of life.


    Most African players landed in Europe when they were still unknowns. They either entered the professional arena to start their football careers, or failed trial training and ran into the streets of Europe.


    Drogba had been in France since he was very young, and he was not alone. Until he was 20 years old, he had to be independent. He began to seriously use football as a career tool.


    Before he was 20 years old, he was playing, playing, or playing. He didn¡¯t have so many big ideals and ambitions. After playing with France all the time, it was time for him to support his family, but this time he went to Paris Saint-Germain for training. Instead, he was rejected. At that time, he was brought to London by Millwall. From this moment on, he really put all his energy into the football career.


    As for the inspirational stories that people bragged about when his teenager started to hone his skills when he became famous, it was pure nonsense.


    Otherwise, African players who have really played football since childhood, at the age of 20, will definitely beat Drogba in terms of playing skills. Even Klose, who comes from the amateur league, has better foot skills than Drogba. Because Klose came earlier than Drogba and received a year of professional technical guidance and training, the gap was obvious. When Drogba came to Millwall, in addition to the inherently strong physical quality and technology? One word is enough: rough.


    The detailed description is: It is so rough!


    He should be grateful for his talent, yes, it is talent. If you change someone else and don¡¯t have this strong body, you will still be at this skill level by the age of 20. You can¡¯t say that you will definitely say goodbye to professional football, but at least you want to be based on the top field. , That''s whimsical.


    Although Drogba has also hone his skills in the past two years, he has a poor foundation and can not catch up in a year or two. In particular, Millwall is not a third-rate team or a second-rate team. It is impossible to completely abandon the record.


    In the UEFA Champions League, League, FA Cup, Millwall, who plays in the third tier, has to go through a week of double matches almost every week. In such an intensive schedule, Audridge also has to deal with the troubles caused by Drogba.


    Relative to the endless peachy news of most local players, Drogba''s reputation is quite manly and bloody!


    On Friday evening, Aldridge was sitting in the conference room. He had a long conversation with Moyes.


    Drogba went to Preston on loan at the beginning of the season and now suddenly returned to the club himself. He didn''t want to stay there anymore, and Preston could not accommodate him from the fans to the locker room interior.


    Moyes was disappointed in this situation.


    Drogba, so **** easy!


    In the simple and rude game of the League One, it is simply the Warcraft battlefield. Drogba is like a world devil raging in the League One. As the end of the 30th round of the League One, Drogba took the first place in the shooter list and scored 21 goals. To help Preston firmly occupy the fifth place in the league. If this performance can be stabilized, I will not dare to pack the ticket at the end of the season and say that I will directly win the championship or runner-up, but the tickets for the upgrade play-off will definitely not be able to run.


    But this time, Drogba became Preston''s public enemy.


    This incident did not cause much repercussions in London. After all, it is the news of the Ligue 1 club, and it is not worthy of a major book in the mainstream media.


    The simple incident happened when Drogba and Captain Preston had a dispute over the parking space. The two played in the parking lot outside the club''s training ground. Without any suspense, Drogba took the other to the hospital.


    This time, Drogba, even if he was a scoring hero, dare to beat the native team captain, the locker room did not allow him, the fans also called him to get out, Drogba is also free and easy, here is no lord, his lord !


    He returned to London the same day he took the luggage.


    But when he returned to London, the boy had counseled him, and he dared not go back to Millwall Club when he was in a small hotel. He seemed to worry that his actions would lead to club dissatisfaction and punishment.


    After all, the team that paid him the salary was Millwall, and other teams may not be able to afford the weekly salary he received.


    After the East Window incident, Millwall got the news, it was two days later.


    Drogba had never been able to contact him, and Millwall sent people to France and C?te d¡¯Ivoire to hunt him down, thinking he had fled back to Africa or France.


    Fortunately, Lamore, who had been with him for a while in the reserve team, had another private phone number, a secret contact phone number between his friends who had fun, which only brought him back from the small hotel.


    Moyes still wanted to persuade Drogba to return to Preston. His heart was almost broken. He was determined to lead Preston to super success. Seeing this season is much better than expected, Aldridge The young players who gave him are really easy to use, and the record is enough to explain everything.


    It''s time for the sprint, the team''s main striker ran home!


    After learning about the beginning and end of the matter, Aldridge made a final decision.


    "Drogba can''t go back, really can''t, David, you should consider it for yourself, really, I understand your mood, you want to lead Preston to achieve greater success, but now, anger is burning Fans, the original Preston players in your locker room, they can no longer accept Drogba, if you take him back, no matter what Drogba will be, he will be isolated there, and you ? You will also face what thousands of people have pointed out. At that time, you may fall into a dilemma of betrayal."


    Aldrich really thought about Moyes, and after thinking about it, the other party had no choice but to accept the reality.


    He was just a helpless man who wanted to succeed and was crazy.


    If it doesn¡¯t change from the beginning to the end, then it¡¯s going to fall over after this season, but it can be obviously in the immediate vicinity but ruined. Moyes¡¯ mood, Aldridge can feel more or less, except for frustration. Acceptance can only be adjusted by yourself, there is no other way.


    After Aldrich sent Moyes away, he asked the staff to find Drogba. He stabbed him in the conference room.


    It didn''t take long for Drogba to come in with a serious expression and a fearful look. He seemed to be a tough tough guy, but in front of Aldridge, there was a trembling smell.


    Since he returned to London, his mood has changed immediately, from being soaring in Preston to sending the captain to the hospital without changing his face, it has become tense and anxious.


    Maybe it¡¯s the bustling city that made this wild kid have to pick up his tail, maybe Millwall is one of Europe¡¯s leading contemporary successful teams that convinced him, or, because the club is holding his Life checkbook.


    Aldridge saw him standing near the door as if he didn''t dare to approach him, and said softly, "Come, sit down."


    Drogba walked to the nearest table and pulled a chair. Aldridge said, "Come and sit beside me."


    Drogba immediately pushed the chair back, walked to the seat next to Aldridge and sat down. Aldrich turned his head to look at him, but he bowed his head and dared not stare at him.


    "What did you do wrong?"


    "what?"


    "Why don''t you even have the courage to look at me?"


    "Uh, I''m causing trouble for the club."


    "Well, this is a fact. Tell me first why you want to beat someone?"


    Drogba scratched his head, seeing that Aldridge did not show any signs of reprimanding him, so he told the incident with great care, of course, from his perspective.


    When he went to Preston, he brought simple luggage, the accommodation was settled by Preston, and his salary was paid by Millwall.


    The day before he started beating people, he found that he had already saved a lot of money in his account.


    As a result, the proud World of Warcraft wanted to be more coquettish. He went to buy a new car, happily drove the new car to the club to participate in training, and was ready to show off with his teammates.


    As a result, he parked the car in the parking space belonging to Captain Preston. Originally, he did not have a car, so he didn''t care about it, so he didn''t care.


    However, the captain of Preston arrived by car and found that his car was occupied by the **** man.


    If people lack communication, especially those who are impatient in character, they are most likely to cause conflict.


    The Preston captain of the English hukou regards the behavior of Warcraft as a provocation.


    From his standpoint, Drogba is in the limelight, and the credit for the team''s impressive record is mostly snatched by this outsider. Captain Preston directly taught Drogba directly.


    Warcraft himself felt innocent, did not recruit anyone, did not mess with anyone, bought a car and parked in the wrong place, but it led to a reprimand. The most important thing is that not far away, some teammates who came early saw this scene. Face can''t hold on!


    In order to keep Captain Preston shut up, Drogba''s head slammed his opponent''s face as soon as he was hot. Then, the two staged a live-action PK, the Warcraft victory, and the other was sent off by the two teammates. hospital¡­¡­


    Aldridge declined to comment after listening, and he picked up a piece of information and began to open it.


    Drogba was very happy when he hit someone, but now he was worried, saying, "Boss, why don''t you talk?"


    "What do I need to say?"


    "Uh, I beat the captain of Preston."


    "Oh, hit it, hit it, anyway, it''s all done, I said nothing. I don''t think the other party will prosecute you for the crime."


    "Sue me? No, don''t you? Do you want to sue me in a fight?"


    Aldrich turned his head inexplicably to Drogba, who was surprised, and asked: "He can''t beat you and was taken to the hospital. If he doesn''t want to give up, he will revenge you, or he can only resort to law Means, is this weird? If the injury does not break the law, at least two of the lawyers will be unemployed."


    Drogba really changed from nervous to terrified.


    "Boss, will I not go to jail?"


    Aldridge laughed inwardly: scared you! See if you dare to provoke trouble!


    He comforted him lightly: "It''s okay, it''s just a small thing, you can also ask a lawyer to defend you, but I think the possibility of the other party suing you is not high, don''t worry, it''s just a lesson, think twice in the future. Going backward, beating people sounds very majestic, but things are going to be serious, and the loss makes you in a dangerous situation, but you yourself."


    Drogba nodded in a hurry, and then think about it, really, the fight is also divided into degrees, a careless accident is really a good thing, the money of the prison cannot be erased.


    "Boss, since he can''t beat me, why not sue me?"


    "He''s stupid, sue you? Would the world know that he was beaten by you? A person who can be a captain, can you save face? If you don''t love face, you won''t be in conflict with you. I heard that he was not seriously injured. After two weeks in the hospital, you can recover your health. I said, you should keep a lesson in mind. One thing I must tell you clearly is that in a team, everyone is equal except for the last game. In normal training life, you must know to respect seniors, such as when we go out to play games, on the bus, my seat, you can not sit, Captain Gareth¡¯s seat, you can not sit, and so on, if you are not careful Sit and correct this mistake immediately after being reminded, understand?"


    Drogba nodded again, and then asked, "Boy, what do you mean, I hit him wrong?"


    "It''s definitely wrong to hit someone. This is illegal, you know? But the captain is also responsible. If it''s Gareth, he smiles at most to remind you that it is his parking space, so you can pay attention to it later. So, that is Preston, we are Millwall, they are fighting in the Premier League, we are the top Premier League team."


    Drogba laughed, and Aldridge shook his head with a smile.


    The relationship between the locker room order and the team is still very conservative. Although it is not as hierarchical as feudalism, there are at least some prestige rankings. The captain is a player with more off-site privileges and deep prestige than his teammates. It is also higher than the average player''s treatment. This is the reward they have earned and is essentially different from differential treatment.

 Chapter 475： Firepower full open competition

    The data that Aldridge holds in his hand is related to Drogba, and is the performance statistics loaned by Warcraft.


    22 goals, in addition to 21 goals in the league, there is one in the cup, the number of assists: 0!


    Putting it in other coaches, such data is close to full score. The striker is to score a goal and solve the problem. It is a crime to demand that the striker does not have an assist.


    Judging by Aldrich¡¯s standards here, Drogba is a pass at best, scoring 21 goals in the first 30 rounds of the Premier League, which can only be said to be slightly better than the 17-year-old Trezeguet.


    This is far from the standard he requires of the forward. If Henry will not assist, Larson will not assist, and Millwall''s attack group will definitely not be able to play gorgeous data.


    Next, Aldridge discussed professional issues with Drogba and put forward further requirements for Warcraft, hoping that Warcraft will work hard in this direction in the future.


    Drogba was happily taught, but his whereabouts in the next few months became a problem.


    Aldridge let him stay in the team to play in the reserve league. Drogba himself was in trouble. The consequences are always to be borne by himself. In the past few months without professional league play, he can only blame his impulse.


    Before Drogba left, he sincerely apologized to Aldridge. Aldridge nodded and accepted that there was no word to actively teach the other side.


    This is one of his habits of managing players, and he has rarely warned players what to do and what not to do, but directly pointed out the consequences and let the players think for themselves.


    A week of double games, and even a week of three games, Aldridge''s work is heavier than in previous years, he also put all his energy into the club.


    However, when it arrived in mid-March, Millwall''s recent record was not satisfactory.


    The league won one game and tied a game. The Champions League second round group match suffered two consecutive draws.


    With three rounds left in the Champions League, Millwall only has 5 points.


    This situation is almost invisible in the past. Millwall was able to score at least 7 points in the first three rounds of the group stage to gain the initiative to qualify. After the peak period of the record, they seemed to become mediocre at once. .


    In fact, Aldridge is not only adjusting the team status, but also because the opponents he encountered during this period are not strong. He used actual combat to train troops, and it is a bit exaggerated to use the old and new descriptions.


    In addition, the Premier League team encountered Millwall is a gesture of death, either vigorously die, or win gloriously.


    In the Premier League, the opponents frantically attacked Millwall''s young defense line by frame, often playing big score results and ups and downs during the game.


    For example, Everton 3:3 Millwall, Coventry 2:2 Millwall.


    It feels like Millwall''s super strong attack group can enter a few, and the back line dares to give back a few to the opponent.


    At the same time, the gap between Manchester United and Millwall in the league is narrowing, but it has not crossed the warning line.


    The Champions League had two consecutive draws, and Millwall did not meet the outside expectations. This has nothing to do with Millwall training, but at this stage, even though the opponents are not well-known, anyway, they are fighting from the first round of the group stage, so they face Millwall was also very cautious at home, tying Lazio and Bordeaux. Audridge didn''t think there was a big problem, because after going away, Millwall''s posture was mainly defensive.


    There are six rounds in the group stage. The best start is naturally to win at least two of the first three games, but what is the worst start? The scores in the three games must be below 3 points, which is too far away from the 12 points that the highest score was eliminated in the theory, and Millwall scored 5 points, and there are three games. At least from the overall perspective, it is an absolute possibility In the accepted situation, if you want to start, you must think of defeating the opponent, and the opponent is playing a defensive counterattack. In case of a loss, the situation will be extremely bad. Audric does not want to become AC Milan. One point, in the next three games, there was only one way to Huashan, and the tactical arrangement suffered great limitations.


    From the beginning of January to mid-March, in more than two months, Aldridge completed training and adjustments and other goals set in the middle of the two seasons. February began as a warm-up for the end of the season. Now, it¡¯s time for the real When the fire is fully on!


    On Wednesday night, the home team''s locker room at Wembley Stadium.


    Aldrich stands among the players. Now his work is easy to compare. Due to the maturity of the team''s technical and tactical system, he only needs to focus on analyzing the opponents to make targeted deployments before the game, without having to change the general direction of technical and tactical.


    This is a necessary process for professional football clubs to accumulate, and no club can be successful overnight.


    Tonight, the fourth round of the Champions League second round group match will be launched. Millwall faced Bordeaux. In the last round, Millwall played a 1:1 draw with the opponent on the road.


    The team lineup is complete, Makelele recovered from injury a month ago, and has recovered his status in recent games.


    Aldridge said softly: "What did we work hard for a season? Not to set a certain record, not to score how many goals, or to have a carnival at the end of the season, so that we can get a trophy In return, now that we are getting closer to these goals, I need you to put all your energy into the game. Every game, in the next two months, you will hit all the trophies you can get. This is our tradition. , Is the tradition of Millwall, let us meet the harvest season in the best state!"


    The players got up and gave each other high fives to encourage.


    When Aldridge walked out of the player''s tunnel, he looked up at the gloomy sky.


    It''s raining.


    There was no rain when we arrived in Wembley. The weather forecast also informed that there might be light rain tonight. Millwall was ready to prepare the players for the rain.


    With the cheers of the fans in the stands, Aldridge went to the coach of the home team to stand still.


    Bordeaux¡¯s coach is Ellie Boop, who is called young and handsome by the French media. It sounds exaggerated. The opponent is already 45 years old, but in the football industry, if the 45-year-old coach is a newcomer, he will indeed be called In order to be less handsome, the opponent led Bordeaux to beat Marseille to win the league title last season. At the same time, he led the team to the top 16 this season. It is not too much to be praised by the French media.


    Only today, there is only one young coach on the field, that is Aldridge.


    "Millwall is in a bad situation, with only 5 points now. If you can''t take all three points in Bordeaux today, the last two games will be dangerous. By this time, the goals of the teams have become very clear. Feyenoord scored 0 points in three games, almost declared out, Millwall 5 points, Lazio 7 points, Bordeaux 4 points, today''s game will be a watershed for the group''s qualifying situation, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a life and death battle, Will set the tone for the next two games."


    The situation looks grim, but Aldridge is not nervous.


    Or that he will think about his heart, Bordeaux, Lazio, these two opponents, is not the situation tough? With the points situation so tight, it is possible to lose a goal and fall into a passive situation. However, Bordeaux does not win and still ranks third.


    In the long drizzle, the game kicked off.


    Millwall took the initiative, the rhythm played slowly and slowly, and he controlled the overall situation moderately. Because of the rain, deliberately playing fast will not be too good.


    Bordeaux, like the last game, defended and counterattacked.


    Just when they are away, they must not have played so well at home.


    Pope stood dignified on the sidelines.


    If Millwall¡¯s undefeated probability reaches 80%, and Bordeaux has only a 20% chance of winning, then, to convert to the number of opportunities on the field, Bordeaux will have to seize those few opportunities.


    In the 17th minute of the game, Bordeaux counterattacked into the frontcourt, and it was about to kill the penalty area, but was intercepted and resolved by Materazzi. Immediately, Millwall also played a fast break. The ball passed through the midfield quickly. In the frontcourt, it became a balanced attack and defense contest.


    Henry took the ball on his back and turned to start. He unexpectedly did not pass the ball and then ran out of position. He directly took the ball over the opponent''s defender and entered the penalty area. A low shot broke the Bordeaux city gate.


    After 18 minutes, Millwall continued to exert pressure to catch the second fighter. Pirlo passed the ball and cut the ball to Ronaldinho. The latter swept the door and swept the door before plugging in Nedvi. De Pai shot through.


    In the first half, Millwall led by two goals, giving all fans of the Lions who followed this game a peace of mind.


    Steady.


    Aldridge walked into the locker room with an uneasy look.


    What is a strong team?


    As long as you don¡¯t fall behind, the team that won¡¯t make trouble at the critical moment is the strong team.


    Millwall has cultivated this temperament. This intangible temperament has been honed in the league in the past few years, especially the experience of winning the championship to the last moment. There are ups and downs, both in failure and victory. A valuable experience learned in a completely different taste.


    Bordeaux launched a Jedi counterattack in the second half, but their away game was significantly lower than the previous play. After being scored by Millwall in the fourth goal at 70 minutes, Bordeaux players fell into despair.


    Can''t win!


    Pope sat down, and he didn''t change.


    He knew in his heart that no matter what adjustments he made at this time, he would be criticized for nothing after the game.


    Change the striker to strengthen the offense?


    Unsurprisingly, the ball will be lost in the remaining 20 minutes.


    Then such a substitution is a failure.


    Change the backcourt players to strengthen defense?


    0:4 Behind, but also prevent a fart!


    Will it be criticized for lack of courage after the game?


    So, Pope did nothing at all.


    The strength is not as good as the other, the skill is not as good as the person, the persuasion of losing is oral.


    Like the results of other French teams fighting against Millwall, Pope''s psychology is quite peaceful.


    Now that the Paris Saint-Germain is in hot water, when it was glorious, wasn''t Millwall double-killed? Monaco was blocked by Millwall from the Champions League final.


    Not to mention France, Serie A, known as the world''s first league, and the top three in the North haven''t asked for anything cheaper at Millwall.


    Shameful?


    I feel ashamed!


    At the end of the game, the result on the scoreboard was 5:0 and Millwall scored three points.


    Aldridge shook hands with Bob after the game and left the court.


    The Millwall team simply left the court after thanking the fans.


    At the weekend Derby, Millwall and Arsenal fought for 90 minutes. At Highbury, Wenger and Audridge shook hands and the score was 1:1. On the standings, the gap between the two teams has exceeded 20 points... ¡­


    When the fifth round of the Champions League second round of the group stage was about to kick off, there was a calm press conference for a while, and Audridge was embroiled in a war of words.


    This time, the person who provoked proactively was a Swede. The team he coached was named Lazio, and his name was Eriksson.

 Chapter 476： Shut up

    In the summer of 1994 when Aldridge took over Millwall, his arrival was a farce that was not optimistic at the time, but it turned out that he changed Millwall¡¯s fate. At the same time, another changed the club¡¯s fate. The character also joined the Serie A club at the same time. This man''s name is Zeman, and he is the one who is now in Serie A. The blue eagle Lazio.


    Now many fans in Europe will say that Millwall¡¯s offensive football is a mess, but Serie A neutral fans or Blue Eagles fans will never agree. When the mad lion is still in the Premier League, the Blue Eagles led by Zeman to 433 Offensive football has emerged in Serie A. With the status of Serie A in Europe at that time, its influence and the overall style of Serie A, it is not that there are teams that dare to play offensive football, but it is too difficult to play a remarkable record. Man did this, bringing Lazio into the seven sister members of the "Little World Cup".


    5:1 Naples, 4:0 AC Milan, 8:2 Florence, 4:1 Inter Milan, 4:0 Genoa and other big score results appeared in the same season, how can such an offensive football not make people feel complacent?


    Although Lazio failed to win the league championship in the 94-95 season, but scored 9 more league goals than the champion Juventus, this data is commendable, the offensive firepower crowns the Serie A, especially in the overall defense and league competition. The team has only 18 teams in the background.


    Since then, Lazio has continued the style of offensive football under the leadership of Zeman, but it is not difficult for the head coach to attack. The offense and defense are integrated. The hidden defensive risks behind offensive football are year-on-year growth As a result, Lazio''s game was in disintegration. He often saw big scores, but he was often disgraced by Italy''s old players. The important factor for missing the trophy was that their game either won or lost, and there were very few draws.


    It wasn''t until Zeman''s get out of class that Lazio''s magical and offensive football charm began to decline greatly, and then after the Swedish Eriksen took over, the Blue Eagles opened a new era.


    In the summer of 1998, Lazio was recognized as one of the four favorites to win the championship before the start of the new season in Serie A. However, they are not giants and lack the championship temperament after all, just as Eriksson took over the first season, it can be as powerful as Hong has frequently scored a winning streak and ended up with a six-game losing streak at the end of the season. Last season, Lazio was only one step away from the Serie A champion. In the penultimate round of the league, he gave the champion to AC Milan. Poor runner-up, the most exciting part of this story is not the amazing 7-game winning streak reversal at the end of AC Milan season, nor Lazio¡¯s 4 wins and 1 draw but was ruined in that draw, but in the final sprint, Rome In the city derby, Lazio was strongly attacked by Rome led by Zeman!


    Last season, Lazio only had the last European Cup Winners'' Cup as a consolation, filling in the shortcomings of the league champion at the last moment.


    Lazio''s strong rise is directly related to the boss''s burning money at all costs, and this phenomenon has become very common in Serie A. There are many gambling people. Seeing there are winners, other people are tempted to understand.


    "We unfortunately only got a draw at home. We have a better chance than Millwall in the whole game. We are not afraid of Millwall, even though they have just created a new record of the five major European league games."


    "They are the Premier League team. We are the Serie A team. It is unfair to compare domestic achievements. It is more difficult to win the championship trophy in Serie A than the Premier League. The competitiveness is not on the same level."


    "Hall is an excellent coach, but he is not invincible. We have ambitions for the Champions League. If we can win at Wembley, it will be a good spiritual inspiration for Lazio, even if Millwall is in Europe. Not lost in London."


    ...


    Eriksson talked a lot before the fifth game of the second stage of the Champions League group stage.


    Maybe he wanted to disturb Millwall, for example, to make Aldridge lose his calmness.


    Who knows?


    In short, adding fuel and vinegar to Fleet Street put the Swedish remarks in front of Audridge as a provocation.


    Aldridge did not respond, and left the press conference calmly.


    In the group standings, Millwall has climbed to the first place in the group with 8 points.


    Lazio lost to Feyenoord in the last round and still only has 7 points.


    Bordeaux scored 4 points and Feyenoord scored 3 points.


    The situation of Millwall''s qualifying situation has undergone a subversive reversal after only one game. Now, as long as they do not lose in the last two games, they will steadily advance to the top 8.


    At this time, Aldridge could not lie against an Italian team coach, wasting his lips and wasting time.


    Aldridge did not respond, but Fleet Street did not want to let this gimmick go.


    So, the silence of the mad lion commander turned into a silent contempt.


    Eriksson or Lazio.


    You are not qualified to spread wild in front of the mad lion!


    The sky is beautiful, the night sky is clear on the day of the game, and the temperature is also very suitable for the players.


    Aldrich heard the fans of the mad lions in the stands pinching against the fans of the Blue Eagles when they entered the stadium. The fans of the mad lions ridiculed each other in the arrangement of songs. The few Blue Eagles fans also responded with the Italian national curse.


    Aldrich put his hands in the pockets of his coat and walked straight to the coach seat. It looked like the team''s current situation: sit back and relax.


    In the last two games, today I will play Lazio at home, and finally go to the Netherlands to play Feyenoord. If Feyenoord has a draw, Millwall will get a promotion regardless of the result of the game because they and Bordeaux Has an advantage in the engagement record.


    Players from both sides started to enter the field, and the commentators introduced the starting list of both sides in turn.


    Millwall is at full strength and the staff is in order.


    Lazio is also strong.


    Goalkeeper: Machegiani


    Defenders: Pancaro, Mihailovich, Nesta, Favalli.


    Midfielders: Consicao, Belon, Simone, Winter.


    Forwards: Inzaghi, Salas.


    There is only one change in this lineup compared to the original history, that is, the left avant-garde, which was originally where Nedved should appear, and now is Dutch Winter.


    Winter returned to Lazio in the summer of 1998 and continued to play for the Blue Hawks. His original club status in Lazio was no less than that of Nedved. He was one of the important members of Zeman who led Lazio to play offensive football.


    Simone was the one who played against Millwall last year at Inter Milan, and the one who fell to the ground after being violated by Beckham, defensive fighter.


    Lazio is listed as the Serie A champion hot team is guaranteed, the wizard Bello, the Portuguese golden generation representative Consicao, world-class center defender Nesta and other well-known figures in international football, and other such as Pancaro, Inzaghi, Salas, Favali and others are all well-known in European football.


    "At the beginning of the game, Millwall kicked off first. After the kickoff, we saw that Millwall pushed the game faster and the formation was also pushed forward. It seems that Hall¡¯s tactical choice in this game is to use a pressurized attack. Fuck, huh, that¡¯s right, football is kicked out of the field, but not from the mouth. What about Eriksson¡¯s ambitious long talk before the game? After 90 minutes of playing, there is plenty of time to come back Chat."


    Millwall''s qualifying situation is stable, but can''t be taken lightly. In case of a loss of the ball, Bordeaux and Feyenoord will win and lose, and the situation will be reversed immediately.


    Combat at home, aggressive offensive, reasonable.


    What''s more, Aldridge is targeted.


    Fight fast today and bring down Lazio.


    Simone is really strong in defensive ability, and he still shows his sticky skills today. If he sticks to him, basically this player will be frozen.


    But Millwall had so many offensive players in the frontcourt. Lazio could hold one or two and wanted to limit them all. That was a fool''s dream.


    In the first half of the game, Lazio passively defended and kept up with the rhythm, but the scene was extremely ugly. Eriksson stood up from his seat and walked to the sidelines with his hands on his hips.


    Lazio, he can''t even organize a decent attack!


    Millwall''s high-pressure forced tactics, the offensive players counter-robbed on the spot, leaving the opponent very little time to organize the attack.


    The midfield organizer Belon has only 3 successful attempts in 8 catches, 3 failed attempts to get the ball, 3 was directly intercepted by Pirlo in advance, 2 was a pass error by teammates, and after 3 successful picks, But was directly destroyed by Pirlo and Nedved after defensive.


    Concecao and Winter are very old, 33-34 years of age experience is enough, can not withstand the impact of Zambrotta and Schneider in the year of fighting, and there is also a pull Combining the back defense of Rosin and Ronaldinho, compressed in the midfield area, Millwall''s extremely high tactical literacy cut the Lazio formation into pieces while defending, and the Lazio player who received the ball will fall into less than 3 seconds In isolation, the one-on-one breakthrough defeated the battle, and the entire offensive was declared over.


    In the 26th minute, Simone went straight to the frontcourt in the backcourt. He had experience playing against Millwall in Inter Milan. Seeing the paralysis of the midfield, he simply took a chance.


    Unexpectedly, his long pass almost formed an assist.


    Inzaghi saw off Matellaz and the goalkeeper one-on-one, but Bout had already prepared and ran out of the penalty area to header the ball in advance to the fellow Schneider on the wing.


    Under the high-pressure forced tactics, the goalkeeper must not just stay in front of the goal, must expand the defensive area, become a free man, can become a pass receiving point, and can also act as a scavenger. If he dies before the goal, he will become a team Fatal loopholes in tactical system.


    Aldrich was very satisfied with what Bout did.


    Gradually, Millwall''s advantage in playing a fast-paced, offensive offensive is getting bigger and bigger. After the defensive strength of Belon, Consicao and Winter fell significantly, Simone could not withstand it in the middle.


    In the 32nd minute, Pirlo inserted the ball afterwards, and Belon backtracked at a distance of three meters behind him, a little bit waiting for his teammates to successfully defend himself and then quickly organize a counterattack.


    Ronaldinho moved to the middle and played with Pirlo to break through the Simone''s defense zone. Larson and Henry swapped. Pirlo sent a scalpel to Henry. After the bottom of the penalty area, Henry swept the ball. In front of the goal, Larson deliberately dragged Nesta and let the ball roll in front of him. Nedved sent a sliding tackle from Mihailovich to send the ball from the back of the goal into the gate.


    "Nedved helped the team to open the first record! This is a typical Millwall-style goal. The offensive player suddenly changed position and interfered with the defensive player''s mark. Pirlo''s pass broke the line. The forward player either directly attacked or unexpectedly. Pass it back to the player who inserted it later, beautiful goals, never tire of it! Eriksson, who had made a bold statement before the game, should now close his mouth, his team has no fight back at Wembley! "


    Aldridge stood up and applauded, giving a thumbs-up to the players on the court.

 Chapter 477： Congratulations on the 100th anniversary celebration

    Millwall''s success can make fans feel the glory and happiness most directly. For those who enjoy, the most disgusting to hear negative voices.


    Therefore, the fans of the Lions hate the media to belittle Millwall¡¯s achievements from the side.


    They are already the kings of London and England, but occasionally they can hear comments such as: Millwall in La Liga, Serie A cannot be so brilliant.


    This makes the fans both uncomfortable and always angry.


    After Nedved broke the Lazio gate, the grand lion fans greeted a huge declaration before the game.


    "Lazio has a kind to come to the Premier League! Lazio has a kind to come to the Premier League!"


    Aldridge heard the cry from the fans and suddenly burst into tears.


    Although this is not as unreasonable as Guan Gong and Qin Qiong, he likes to laugh at Millwall''s derogatory comments from the outside world.


    If there is no European war, there is no Champions League, such as the UEFA Cup, the vertical comparison does not exist, only exists in the assumption, that is, public justice is reasonable, and the woman said the woman is reasonable.


    But since there is a stage in the European War, and some people think that Millwall''s record in the Serie A or La Liga will plummet, then this kind of comment is silly.


    Most of the remarks are made by the media reporters, and some professional commentators like football will never say such ridiculous comments.


    A good kick is a good kick. If you can''t kick, you can''t go anywhere.


    Millwall has played against European league champions or runners-up in these years. The record shows everything. Does the hard power need to go to Serie A to play 34 rounds?


    AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, Millwall have played, and without defeat, 5 wins and 1 draw!


    Lazio, even though he has been in Serie A all these years, regardless of strength or influence, there is still a certain gap with the top three in the north.


    For this reason, Aldridge did not bother to respond to Eriksson before the game. Aldridge did not want to waste time to understand what exactly the opponent said.


    Aldrich''s gestures are the same from before the game to the progress of the game, which is indifferent.


    Now he is sitting on the coach''s bench, and the situation is light.


    Eriksson''s contrast was exceptionally obvious. Before the game, Lazio was thrown away, and the whole person was tense, even the expression was unnatural.


    Before the start of the fourth round, Lazio was the first in the group and was well placed.


    Now that the ball is lost, Lazio''s situation is suddenly reversed!


    If Bordeaux defeated Feyenoord, Lazio finally lost the game now, they will share with Bordeaux, and the last round of direct dialogue has become a life and death battle!


    This is the Champions League. Laughing early and maybe crying without tears in the end, as long as the strong do not fall behind in the early stage, they can force the situation at a critical moment.


    Eriksson was thinking about it at this moment. No one knew. Perhaps it was Sarah¡¯s single-handed goal that was not scored at the last moment of the last round of the game. Unfortunately, he lost the victory.


    Now, when Lazio has to score goals, they can''t do anything at all, because they can''t control the midfield.


    Belon, known as a master midfield organizer, like a wizard who can use illusions, today''s performance is simply terrible.


    Defensive defense is not in place, offensive and offensive offense can not hold the ball, the confrontation is hit and can not find North.


    In the most critical part of Lazio''s offense, Millwall completely suppressed the opponent.


    While Lazio took the wing, the wing players quickly fell into isolation, and Winter and Consicao''s forward role was greatly reduced.


    Before the game, Aldridge also worried that Belon would play against the sky today, but came to London to play away, Belon''s performance was bleak, Pirlo and Nedved successfully managed to contain him, and Makelele seemed relatively relaxed.


    In the 38th minute of the game, Aldridge got up and walked to the sidelines, gesturing to the players on the field.


    In the following time, Millwall apparently adjusted tactically.


    Right-back Schneider boldly forwarded assists, and Winter on his side was repressed by death and could only be exhausted on the defensive line.


    Schneider and Larson have a high level of understanding. Both can control the ball and have a certain breakthrough ability. Lazio suddenly defended the left wing frequently.


    Schneider''s three consecutive crosses were quite threatening, but it was a pity that Henry didn''t get a deal in front of Nesta.


    When the time came to stoppage time in the first half, Ronaldinho launched an offensive attack on the left and crossed the 45 degrees to find the back point on the other side.


    Larson grabbed a bit close to the bottom line, but there was absolutely no angle of attack.


    He can only head the ball, otherwise it will give Favalli a chance to steal.


    Nesta and Mikhailovich caught Henry and caught the ball. As long as Larsson headed for the ferry, they would definitely be able to make the clearance.


    However, Larson unexpectedly chose to head back.


    It looks more like a defender''s header.


    Lazio''s back line was moving backwards. Everyone didn''t expect that Larson actually put the ball to the top of the penalty area. Looking at the trajectory of the ball, he realized that Larson had given the ball to Schneider!


    Schneider stopped the ball and made a long-range posture. Simone quickly came over and blocked. After Schneider touched the ball, he knocked accidentally. Nedved was alert to Mikhailovic before the ball was stopped. He approached, so he gently played the ball.


    Pirlo plugged in, and a rock-shattered long shot penetrated Macheginia''s ten fingers.


    "Millwall''s second goal! Pirlo, a very powerful long shot, is another wonderful goal, the first half is about to end, Millwall expanded the lead, Lazio''s situation can not be worse Now."


    Eriksson''s face was green, one goal behind and two goals behind, especially at halftime, the situation was very different.


    Lazio wants to make a comeback, hope is slim.


    Before the start of the second half, Eriksson replaced Winter and replaced Stankovic, the same one in history who later joined Inter Milan and won the Triple Crown in Mourinho.


    Aldridge did nothing, and only made tactical adjustments.


    In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought.


    Eriksson stood on the sidelines and looked at Aldridge, who was sitting on the coach''s bench with a bland expression, and said: Millwall has two goals in hand, should he keep the victory?


    In the opinion of the Swedish coach, Millwall may be relaxed in the second half.


    Lazio made an overwhelming gesture as soon as he opened the second half.


    Aldridge was not surprised at all. Isn''t this normal?


    There have been variables in Lazio''s qualifying situation, and now two goals are not behind yet? What are you waiting for?


    As a result, Saras was intercepted by Southgate before the penalty area and Millwall played a quick and deadly counterattack.


    Ronaldinho killed Consicao and Pancaro alone, and was knocked down by Simone from the side and back in the penalty area. The referee awarded a penalty.


    Eriksson was anxious on the sidelines, complaining that the referee''s penalty was a misjudgement, and the fans on the scene were mad, thinking that the referee should show Simone a yellow card.


    If the Argentinian bears a yellow card, his defense in the lower back position will be restricted, but the referee will give no penalty to the penalty. After all, Millwall leads by two goals. It was a bit unreasonable, at least Ronaldinho was not injured.


    Larson took a penalty and made an accident. His penalty was actually saved by Machegenia. Fortunately, Henry followed up to get the ball back. Or Ronaldinho would be depressed.


    "In 47 minutes, Millwall led by three goals. Does Lazio still have a chance? Maybe."


    The fans in the stands were very excited.


    Now they stopped shouting for Lazio to come to the Premier League and changed some words.


    "Lazio! Do you dare to come to London?"


    Yes, Millwall cannot go to Serie A to win the Serie A championship.


    However, the Serie A team dared to come to our site, let you go back with a nightmare!


    The Premier League is indeed not the world''s first league, but our Premier League champion is to destroy the world''s heroes!


    Our King: Aldrich Hall, he will lead the team to do all heroes!


    Eriksson?


    No matter how famous you are in Serie A, Feng Shui, in our eyes, arrogantly called a handsome!


    Eriksson thought Millwall would become conservative in the second half and played a defensive counterattack.


    If this is the case, Belon may be recovering because the pressure on the markings he has suffered will be reduced. In that case, given him enough space, the wizard can play magic.


    But Eriksson was wrong, wrong!


    In the second half, Millwall not only continued the high-pressure **** tactics of the first half, but the two full-backs crazily alternated forward assists!


    Even with a three-goal lead, Millwall''s offensive did not decrease but increased.


    Zambrotta and Schneider became the main protagonists of the wing. When Ronaldinho, Larson, Nedved and other key attackers were closely marked, their plugs appeared unexpectedly. Opportunities have also greatly increased.


    The scene on the court made Lazio fans unable to lift their heads, yes, they could not lift their heads.


    The Blue Eagles will return to the forbidden zone except Saras and Inzaghi who walked near the middle circle, but after the defense is successful, the personnel will get together and face Millwall¡¯s in-place counter-robbing. They simply No effective offensive can be organized.


    Lazio under siege was like a trapped beast trapped in a circle, and the lion, Millwall, was allowed to ravage at will.


    In the 64th minute, Millwall, after a long attack, went to the next city.


    Zambrotta''s cross from the bottom, Nedv¨§d nodded the ball before the goal and turned into a ferry. The ball flew to the rear point and Larsen used his knee to score the goal.


    Aldridge got up and started to replace, one at a time.


    Klose went up and Larsson down.


    Ferreira went up and Schneider down.


    After such a substitution, Millwall played unilaterally, Zambrotta assisted, Ferreira put all his energy into the defense.


    Millwall mainly attacked on the left and attacked Consicao and Pancaro.


    In the 78th minute, Ronaldinho and Klose played two consecutive matches and then entered from the rib of the penalty area. After successfully breaking through Mikhailovic, the ball was sent into the goal from the near corner of the goal.


    "5:0, Millwall slaughtered Lazio, this score made Fleet Street a joke, they tried to render the war between Hall and Eriksson before the game, and described the game as the focus of a strong dialogue, but No matter from the process or the result, there is a big oolong on Fleet Street, which is ridiculous. Millwall and Lazio should not be listed as the same grade team. People should be curious why they were in Rome before. , Millwall was almost killed, only got a draw?"


    If Aldridge was asked this question face-to-face and he was willing to answer honestly, he would be frank: Lazio deliberately suppressed the player''s state and played away, except for the single-handed ball that was almost killed. , And other factors.


    When the whole game ended with the enthusiastic cheers of fans, the score on the scoreboard was fixed at 5:0.


    Aldridge got up and walked towards Eriksson, but he stopped again when he saw that the other party was lost.


    After a moment of hesitation, he walked directly into the player channel.


    In preparing for this game, Aldridge thought about exchanging two sentences with Eriksendo, not to make friends, and because this year is Lazio''s centennial celebration, he just wanted to send congratulations on behalf of the club.


    Well, the gift has been sent.


    Lazio, a hundred years of celebration, Millwall presented 5 eggs to you with both hands, thank you.


    Fate will meet again!

 Chapter 478： Bewitched

    A hearty victory came to an end. Millwall scored 11 points after the fifth battle, and made an early appearance. At the same time, he locked the group first.


    As for the other opponents in the same group who will live and die, this is not what Millwall will care about.


    Millwall stars stared on the court and returned to the locker room for a brief celebration. The battle was over, and everyone bathed and changed clothes, but the excitement in their hearts had not subsided. Even if they returned home, they could not sleep, so some players agreed Go play two sets of snooker and go home.


    Outside the parking lot, Ronaldinho left the car window when he was leaving and beckoned Henry who was just about to open his door. He laughed and made a provocative action of drag racing. Henry smiled helplessly and did not intend to play this adventure game with the other party.


    When Henry got in the car, his cell phone rang suddenly and took out to answer.


    "Tieri, where are you?"


    "I am going to a billiard room in the city to play two sets of snooker with my teammates."


    "Let''s meet now."


    "why?"


    "There are important things to talk about."


    "it is good."


    After noting where he met, Henry drove to the car, and on the road, he looked very worried.


    The person who called was his agent.


    This is his second agent.


    In the summer of 1996, Henri, who was born out of the blue, led the French U18 to win the European Cup youth group championship. At that time, it attracted the attention of many European teams. This meant that Henry needed a professional agent to help him plan his career. Career and handling related matters, he hired a broker himself, at this time Real Madrid threw an olive branch to him, it was precisely the broker hired by Henry himself to negotiate the conditions of joining, just when everything seemed to come to an end, Monaco did A paper was handed over to the FIFA table because Henry¡¯s agents did not have FIFA-approved broker qualifications. At the same time, Monaco spared no effort to leave Henry and introduce Henry to a professional The broker of FIFA decided that Monaco won the lawsuit, and the agreement between Henry and Real Madrid was invalid, so Henry continued to stay in Monaco, and this new agent will also serve him.


    Henry sent a text message to his teammates on the way to meet his agent, and he seemed unable to play snooker.


    The meeting point with the agent was in the suite of a hotel in the city.


    Henry sat opposite his agent.


    "What are you talking about?"


    "Talk about your future."


    "I don''t understand, I feel good now."


    Henry is hitting the English Premier League gold boots with all his might, and it can even be said to be European gold boots. At the same time, Millwall defending the league champion is in sight, and the Champions League has also advanced to the quarterfinals. Is there anything more wonderful than this?


    His agent Svenvin, with a solemn expression and a deep voice, said: "I know, Thierry, you are now the first person on the Premier League shooter list. You will definitely get the trophy this year, but are you satisfied?"


    Henry frowned and asked, "What the **** are you questioning?"


    "Do you still have the ambition to become the world''s first striker? Become the top-ranked figure among the great strikers in history?"


    "You shouldn''t question my aggressiveness."


    Henry''s expression is slightly unpleasant. He is not a child and does not need to show his determination to his parents, especially if the other party is only his own agent, and he does not need to prove anything to the other party.


    "Then you should go to the World First League to prove yourself! Become the world''s first striker in the World First League!"


    The agent''s words sounded loudly and knocked Henry''s heart heavily.


    He lowered his head and crossed his fingers against his forehead, and asked in a low voice: "Which club are you persuading me to join?"


    "Juventus, they have shown enough sincerity, but this is not the main reason. Think about it, you go to Juventus, there is your national team friend Trezeguet, and Zidane, the world The champion''s frontcourt works together, what else can''t be done?"


    These words are indeed very tempting.


    Henry closed his eyes for a moment and said, "But I can also get a lot of honor in Millwall, and Millwall''s achievements in recent years are not lower than Juventus."


    The agent replied loudly: "Don''t you understand? How important are you in Millwall? Larson is Mr. Golden Ball, Nedved is Mr. Golden Ball, and Ronaldinho is almost taken by the outside world. Described as Hall¡¯s half-brother! You? You will always be in their shadow! If they value you so much, why did you perform so well in this year, but did not mention the things about continuous appointments? After? You and Ronaldinho, the Brazilian, earned as much, but you are the world champion! What does he have? You have more than twice the number of goals!"


    For the club, no matter how beautiful it is, no matter how good the personal relationship is, even the main commitment is far less profound than the sincerity that money can embody.


    Henry said flatly: "Maybe the boss thinks that it is not time to talk about money now. Our attention must be on the court."


    "Don''t be stupid, Thierry, I tell you, Larson and Nedved, the annual salary is one million pounds more than you, and the bonus is one million pounds more than you!"


    Henry raised his head in surprise and asked, "Really?"


    The agent nodded solemnly and said, "It''s true!"


    He absolutely didn''t lie about this.


    I don''t know from which channel he heard the inside information of Millwall.


    Larsson and Nedved have a higher weekly salary than Henry. At the same time, there will be an additional 1 million bonus this year. This bonus is not only the two of them, Southgate also has a million, other players such as Schneider , Materazzi, Makelele and other players also have 800,000 bonuses.


    The appearance of this bonus is not accidental, and it was not given to the player on the whim of Millwall, but the "loyalty clause" in the player''s contract came into effect.


    Any player who played Millwall five years later will have a "loyalty bonus" in the sixth year!


    The loyalty clause is not a reward for loyal players to chew on the old ones. It will be directly linked to the attendance rate. For example, after a certain number of appearances in the season, you can get the full amount, and the insufficient will be discounted.


    Henry''s agent did not state the content of this bonus, nor did he point out that Ronaldinho and Pirlo did not have this bonus. Their intentions, if they can''t deepen their speculation, positive understanding cannot be insightful.


    Millwall''s team salary structure is not the highest level in the Premier League. For example, the highest-paid player in the Premier League is Manchester United player Roy Keane. Just three months ago, this midfielder renewed the contract with Manchester United and got Weekly salary of 50,000 pounds.


    The three captains of the Millwall club are representatives of the highest salary, their weekly salary is 40,000 pounds.


    But if the "loyalty clause" bonus is taken into account, on average, their weekly salary is more than 60,000 pounds, which has reached the highest level in the Premier League, but the bonus is ultimately a bonus. Compared with the dead salary, there are uncertainties. of.


    Henry¡¯s weekly salary is indeed not very high at Millwall, it can only be regarded as a middle grade. His weekly salary is 25,000 pounds, which is a significant increase from the weekly salary when he played in Monaco two years ago. , Even though he came to the team with the highest value of Milwall¡¯s history, the contract treatment he received at that time was indeed ordinary, because players such as Nedved and other players have made different increases since winning the Champions League. salary.


    Henry''s head was a bit chaotic. After being bewitched by the agent, he always felt his thoughts turned. Some places were strange and unreasonable, but he couldn''t find where the unreasonable place was.


    If Aldridge is here, he will tell Henry outspokenly: You in the summer of 1998, a weekly salary of 25,000 pounds, what are you dissatisfied with? Will you get a salary increase within a year of coming to the team? Half of the time last season, you were healing, healing!


    After Henry left, his agent took out the phone and called.


    "I have begun to convince him."


    "how is the progress?"


    "In the summer, you move faster and you should be more stable."


    "Then I will wait for your good news."


    "What about my 400,000 rewards?"


    "As long as he agrees to transfer, he will transfer it to you that day."


    "It''s a word."


    The football circle and the various small circles in the society have common characteristics, and are full of invisible conspiracies, rebellion, bewitching, betrayal, and choice. Even though the story here does not affect the trend of the world, it does not rise to life or death, but the invisible sword and sword. The invisible smoke still makes this game impossible to be pure.


    ...


    At the weekend''s league, Millwall went away to challenge the Black Cat Sunderland.


    In the game, Aldridge still used the back line of defense and the main offensive group.


    A game that should have won the game, but failed to win because of Henry''s abnormal performance, he wasted at least three excellent opportunities.


    With 7 rounds left in the Premier League, the gap between Millwall and Manchester United has shortened to 12 points.


    In the locker room after the game, Henry took a shower early and sat in the seat. He lowered his head and looked very blamed.


    What the **** are you thinking about!


    Zhou Zhong''s conversation with his agent kept haunting him, which distracted him severely.


    "Hey, don''t get too entangled in the game. Sometimes it''s strange. How to play, the ball doesn''t go to the door."


    Larson patted him on the shoulder as he passed by and smiled and unwrapped.


    Southgate did not play, and spent 90 minutes on the bench. He walked neatly in front of Henry and asked, "Is it okay to see what you think?"


    Henry raised his head and cheered up. "No problem."


    Sausguet nodded and asked no more, the conjecture might be the influence of Henry''s private life.


    On the return bus, Aldridge asked Henry to sit beside him, and Jenson went to another place to sit down.


    Aldridge turned his head to stare at the depressed Henry, did not think too much. The opponent was named the worst player in Millwall after the game. It felt that the state of the game was too strong. Only in the middle of the week did he score in the Champions League At the weekend, several golden opportunities in the league were squandered. This contrast has no sign, and it is also one of Aldridge¡¯s greatest concerns.


    Even if the state of most players declines, they will slide down bit by bit. You can see the signs through the specific data on the field. However, the short time interval like Henry''s performance is very rare.


    "Did you take a rest before the game?"


    Henry shook his head.


    "Hide the injury?"


    Henry still shook his head.


    "Tieri, I don¡¯t understand. I¡¯ve kept the density of at least 4 days for you to have a game this season, and it¡¯s not necessarily 90 minutes of playing time. Your status should be fine recently, but you are on the court today. I act like I can¡¯t play football. I never think that firing a player can immediately improve the player¡¯s performance. My principle is that if there is a problem, then solve the problem, maybe you can¡¯t solve it yourself, but We work together and should not be stumped."


    Henry looked at Aldridge and said in a deep voice: "Boss, I''m fine, but I feel bad today. I promise you will be satisfied in the next game."


    Aldridge stared at him for a long time, and finally nodded: "I don''t need your guarantee, but I trust you, Thierry, now at this moment, the team needs you, what can we harvest at the end of the season, the team still counts on you Well, okay, sit back and take your place."


    Aldridge took his eyes off, and Henry stood up and walked to his seat, circling Aldridge''s words all over his mind.


    Team, count on him!

 Chapter 479： Youth army

    When it returned to London, the sky was dark, Aldridge returned to the community apartment, parked the car in the garage, and walked straight to Ewen''s house opposite.


    There was no light in the living room, and flickering candles were on the table. Her elaborate and precise dinner was laid on the table. When she saw the arrival of Aldridge, she smiled happily: "Just right, the time to sober is just over."


    With that said, she poured two glasses of mellow red wine from the decanter.


    Aldrich opened his chair and sat down, suddenly his face was a little lost, obviously thinking about something.


    Yi Wen sat across from him, supporting his chin as if smiling, "Let me guess what you are thinking."


    Aldridge recovered and picked up the glass and raised his compliments, saying, "Thank you."


    "Are you worried about the team''s status? Is it possible that Manchester United will reverse it?"


    Aldridge snorted and shook his head: "Manchester United may indeed be able to achieve a winning record, but want Millwall to lose 5 of their last seven games. This is a miracle for Manchester United. How could it happen? ?"


    The league was tied again today. This is the sixth league draw since the second half of the season.


    "Are you really not worried?"


    Yiwen seems to be unwilling to drop his guess.


    Aldridge raised his eyebrows and said, "Actually I am satisfied with the current situation. Even if I lose points in the next game, I might laugh when I get home."


    "Ah? How is it possible? This lie is too lame."


    "it is true."


    "Someone will believe you will be happy for the team''s inability to win?"


    "Only in the current situation and in the league."


    "why?"


    "Because I don''t want the team to win the championship before mid-April."


    Yi Wen looked puzzled. The man in front of him was always different from what others thought.


    Seeing the doubts in her expression, Aldridge smiled and explained: "There is a voice outside that thinks that Millwall can create a more brilliant history and criticized me. They think that as long as Millwall uses the most in all competitions, With a strong lineup, you can set a record for many, many rounds of defending success in advance, and you will also refresh the data of wins, goals, etc. to an unprecedented height. I don¡¯t deny that this statement is correct, but I can¡¯t let the team They won the championship before mid-April. No, but fortunately Manchester United has played well recently. If they give up, it will not be good."


    "What''s wrong? The defending was successful in advance, and the center of gravity was shifted to the Champions League and the FA Cup early. Is it wrong?"


    "In theory, this is true, but after all, the league is the most important field. If the defending is successful before mid-April or even earlier, it will inevitably relax the player¡¯s spirit, in the most demanding situation. The body is ok, but the spirit may not be able to achieve the best state of excitement. I need the team to maintain a certain sense of urgency and crisis. It is better than nothing. It is better than nothing, so that this fighting spirit is not interrupted, there is continuity, think One thought, they have been working hard from August to April, the league''s successful defending, will not be relaxed in spirit?"


    Nodding according to Wen Wenyan thought, it sounds reasonable.


    "Then what were you thinking?"


    Aldridge sighed after more than ten seconds of silence: "Bert and Earl, they have reached the stage where their cognitive abilities begin to improve. I don''t want to always see them and become strangers in their eyes."


    This is human nature, and it is also the instinct of almost all creatures. At the stage of cognitive ability at birth, whoever is close to them and frequently appears in front of them, deepening the cognitive impression, will produce a sense of closeness and trust.


    Ewen thought for a while and said: "Maybe you should talk to Chisholm, she can''t often accompany Burt and Earl. From the child''s point of view, at least you are not as long as she is. Concerts or publicity abroad."


    Aldridge regained his spirit after half a minute of silence, and smiled: "Don''t mention these, talk anymore, but you will waste your carefully prepared dinner."


    The two raised their glasses and looked at each other, and enjoyed dinner.


    ...


    In the final round of the second group stage of the Champions League, Aldridge not only sent a full replacement to the Netherlands, but the starting list was also criticized by many people.


    Lazio had 7 points, Bordeaux had 5 points, and Feyenoord had 4 points.


    Feyenoord has been eliminated.


    Lazio had a direct dialogue with Bordeaux in the final round, and Feyenoord played against Millwall.


    So for Feyenoord, it was a battle of honour. It was their curtain call performance in the Champions League this season. They hoped to compete against the powerful Millwall again.


    But Millwall did not cooperate, the other side was out, but Millwall still had to prepare for the ensuing quarter-finals.


    In Millwall''s starting list, there is only one player over the age of 21.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Ferreira, Barzali, Metzelder, Cole.


    Midfielders: Pedretti, Alonso, Joe Cole.


    Forwards: Vicente, Villa, Joaquin.


    In such a Champions League game where victory or defeat is irrelevant, Aldridge training is a bit outrageous.


    But he just wanted to use this high-profile game to train young players, stimulate their growth, give them the opportunity to let them feel all of this.


    In the locker room before the game, Aldridge looked at the ten energetic players, plus a silent but quiet bout.


    These heroes are full of fighting spirit, they dreamed that they would start in this level of competition!


    "I am a young head coach and naturally like young players, Capdevila, Elgra, Pirlo, Ronaldinho, Trezeguet and so many of your predecessors or have been here Players who played, they have become the main force of the team when they are about your age, and have won the honor for the team, time does not wait for people, the world does not wait for people, I will not ask you if you are ready, even if you I have no idea in my heart, and now I have to lie, deceive myself, and tell myself countless times in my heart: Now, our time has come!"


    Aldrich''s words made this group of young people with a slightly green face stand tall and their heads up, as if they were expressing their determination.


    "However, I will not ask you to do anything other than ability, but you must take the level of training, keep calm on the court, apply the knowledge that the coaches taught you to the game, and show the best possible Good self, today is an assessment. I will give you a score during the halftime break. The three worst performers will be replaced at the midfield. Now, start."


    Aldrich left the locker room as soon as his voice fell.


    Of the 11 starters, Bout is definitely impossible to be replaced. The remaining 10 people each ignited a flaming flame in their hearts, showing themselves, and not wanting to be replaced, which is very effective for their mental stimulation.


    The three giants in the Netherlands are known for their youth training, so from time to time you can see the emergence of a young army in Europe.


    Today, Aldridge came to Feyenoord with his youth army.


    The Netherlands is a blessed place for Millwall. There have been two wonderful experiences of winning the European War, but the fans of the three Dutch giants do not like Millwall, and only neutral fans will welcome their arrival.


    When Millwall''s youth army entered the field, the home team''s fans exploded with boos.


    In their view, it was a shame that the other party sent this lineup.


    Not even the idea of ??competing with Feyenoord, it is purely "entertainment" with Feyenoord.


    Feyenoord will use a victory at home to give back to the fans, even if they leave this glorious stage, they will leave with their heads up!


    Therefore, Feyenoord fully attacked at home, which is in the same vein as the tradition of Dutch football. A Dutch team that does not attack can hardly be imagined.


    Although Millwall''s army of young soldiers can''t compete with the experienced and field-proven Feyenoord, they are making up for the gap through other aspects.


    Under the influence of years of tacit understanding of playing together, the indoctrination of the overall team football philosophy, the cultivation of extremely high tactical literacy and discipline, etc., Millwall has been passively beaten since the opening, but the youth army is present The method is orderly, the formation is not disrupted because of passiveness, and the mentality becomes anxious.


    Offensive, failed, offensive, failed, time and time again, Millwall''s boys filled Aldridge''s eyes with admiration.


    Because he saw the toughness that these young players can''t beat, his mentality remained stable and he continued to try, and there was no sign of collapse in the face of continuous failure.


    Pedretti and Alonso defended the front of the penalty area and defended in the middle, occasionally embarrassed performance, but a good sense of replacement and a tacit understanding can always bring danger.


    Until the 37th minute of the game, Joaquin played with Joe Cole after two consecutive defeats and succeeded. He finally showed his power on the side. He took the ball to the bottom and pretended to pass, and then deducted the opponent. The full-back went inside and when Villa was stared to death, he returned to the top of the penalty area and Vicente appeared there.


    When Feyenoord defender rushed to grab, Vicente relied on flexible foot technology to change direction and break into the penalty area, direct volley at 45 degrees.


    The goalkeeper blocked the ball, but did not expect Villa to follow up and shoot the ball into the goal.


    After scoring, Villa frantically ran around the sidelines. On the field, except for Bout holding high fists in front of the door to cheer for the goal of Villa, other young players rushed to Villa.


    This goal is very encouraging to them, because they are no longer hiding under the wings of the mainstay of the Nedved, Southgate and other teams.


    Their 10 young players, through unremitting efforts, stubbornly defended after a series of offensive frustrations, and tirelessly pursued victory. Now, they are at least standing in front of the victory. This is a goal that can make them feel self-affirmed. Young them.


    Aldrich lied to them and did not replace any of them at halftime, which had nothing to do with the score. It was a complete lie to say that substitutions before the game.


    In the second half, Feyenoord finally equalized after a long attack.


    When the score became 1:1, Aldridge was still indifferent sitting on the coach seat, but he silently said in his heart: withstand, withstand, let me see more!


    What kind of team can you expect?


    This was the case with this young army in front of Aldridge. After being equalized, they were still in chaos, waiting patiently to give their opponents a chance to make a fatal blow, and never squandered any precious opportunity.


    At 69 minutes, Joe Cole took Villa back in front of the penalty area and made a long shot to overtake the score again.


    This time, Aldridge jumped out of the coach seat and jumped in the air to celebrate.


    The energetic guys let him see hope, see the future of Millwall, and see the rewards paid. In such a game where the outcome is irrelevant, he believes that so far, the fruit has been harvested too much. More games are more.


    It is not just training, its significance is by no means so superficial.

 Chapter 480： Thanks UEFA

    An uncompetitive league is an absolute powerhouse that cannot breed European football. A club that does not have fierce internal competition is also difficult to hit the peak, and the dominance is far from being discussed.


    Millwall is strong, which is an intuitive impression from the outside world. But in Audridge¡¯s view, to keep Millwall strong, it must intensify internal competition, and let Henry, Ronaldinho, Nedved, Pirlo, etc. When the absolute main force has a sense of crisis, they must not only defeat all strong enemies externally, but also defend their position internally to meet the challenges of newcomers.


    Therefore, after the main frame of the Millwall first team has formed steadily and reached a certain level of strength, Aldridge¡¯s work has begun to shift its focus, training troops and training rookies. This seems to be a precaution, but its purpose is by no means to cultivate whom. A successor, or a regular replacement with a strong replacement, or a surprise soldier in need of emergency, he needs young players like Alonso, Villa, Barzali, Ashley Cole, etc. Growing up quickly, giving the first-team members a sense of pressure and urgency.


    Don''t slack off, relax a little, they will be replaced by newcomers!


    Natural selection, survival of the fittest, this is the rule of the whole world, of course, in the football world, it applies.


    In the game against Feyenoord, Aldrich has seen the potential shown by these teenagers and started to turn his talents into real strength one by one. This is a very good phenomenon.


    1:2!


    Feyenoord is behind.


    Substitution, Millwall.


    The youth team can lead the score in 70 minutes, Aldridge is very pleased, now, he can not demand more, Joaquin and Vicente are on the sidelines, close to the exhausted lights, Joe Cole in the frontcourt Everywhere, has reached the end of the crossbow.


    At this time, Aldridge wants to play his role as the head coach to help these young soldiers maintain their precious victory in their eyes.


    Grenchar, Van der Med, and Gattuso played together.


    Millwall changed to 4213, Gattuso and Pedretti formed a double midfielder, Alonso was a midfielder, bilateral striker and Villa attacked the city.


    When Vicente, Joaquin and Joe Cole came off the field, Aldridge took the initiative to get up and hug the three.


    Feyenoord''s players are almost irrationally attacking. If they lose to Millwall at home, this team should be called the 2 team, they will become a laughing stock.


    Once the battle is over, the rise of stars on the greenery field is always accompanied by the fall of one enemy after another, and it becomes the glory of the winner against the background.


    With Gattuso strengthening the midfield defense, despite Feyenoord''s fierce attack, he was farther away from breaking the goal.


    In the 83rd minute, Grenchar received the long pass from the right side of Van der Meide on the left and faced Feyenoord, who was behind the emptiness. He drove the ball for a long distance and killed in the cover of Villa''s running position. Into the penalty area, facing the goalkeeper kick shot Millwall''s third goal.


    1:3!


    Millwall locked in the victory.


    When the whistle sound at the end of the game started, Millwall¡¯s youth army jumped and jumped with excitement. This was originally an insignificant game, but for them, it may be a milestone battle in their career!


    After the game, the media tirelessly put the junior nicknames for these young soldiers and began to give them the nickname of XX II, but Millwall from the club to the fans, everyone does not care about the game public opinion, their eyes are on the top 8 lottery!


    In the draw ceremony, when the sign of vs was drawn between Millwall''s name and the name of another team, the picture was frozen at the moment that shocked the soul.


    Bayern Munich vs Millwall!


    "The Champions League peak matchup is staged ahead of time!"


    This is the title of almost all the media the next day the lottery results came out.


    In this season, the two UEFA teams recognized as the most powerful meet early in the quarter-finals!


    Millwall is the hottest champion, ranking first.


    Bayern Munich is the No. 2 favourite, followed closely.


    Even if Bayern Munich hated the Camp Nou last season, Bayern Munich and Millwall still left Manchester United and Real Madrid behind.


    Although Millwall did not encounter strong enemies in the two rounds of the group stage, their unimaginable performance in the league made them the most popular championships. Bayern Munich, although it was not surprising to ride in the league, was not unexpected, but they were in the Champions League. China is using a strong posture to overwhelm the champions, for example, in the group stage, the total score of host-guest encounter is 8:3 victory over Real Madrid.


    (Originally, Bayern suffered a challenge from Leverkusen in the league this season, and the competition was stalemate, but because of the lack of Leverkusen in this book, the record of important people such as Bout, Schneider, and Barak is affected.)


    In the countless taverns on the Thames, Millwall fans cheered when they got the news of the lottery results the first time!


    A year ago, they defeated Munich, and all the crazy lions were unwilling. From the players to the fans, everyone wanted to fight against Bayern Munich. If possible, they would really like Millwall to participate in the Bundesliga and remove Bayern Munich from the Bundesliga. Banba kicked from his position.


    Early Friday morning, Aldridge came to the training ground to start a new day of work.


    Now, the players will not be particularly excited about participating in the Champions League, and will not talk about the opponents in the game with interest.


    They are accustomed to facing all the enemies with their ordinary hearts, but today, an unusual sign is still spreading in the team.


    The players kept silent while training, their expressions were serious and focused, as if they were all newcomers to the team with their tails together, they dared not make jokes, dared to gossip, and strived to be the "three good players" in the eyes of a coach.


    Aldridge is like thanking UEFA.


    Thank you so much!


    Draw us together with Bayern Munich.


    He was originally worried about how to keep the team fighting, not because of the huge advantage of the league and slacking off.


    As soon as the UEFA quarter-finals draw result came out, hehe, it was like giving Milwall a stimulant.


    At this time, the only founder of the defeat of the Millwall Club in the history of the European War, Bayern Munich!


    Good can''t be better!


    "It seems that everyone did not forget the game last year."


    Klinsmann stood beside Aldridge with emotion.


    After a lot of battles, he naturally has a memory of losing the ball until the day of his death.


    However, it can make a team, everyone invariably memorize the loss, from another perspective, Bayern Munich is also very good.


    "At this time, among the top 8 opponents, the best is Bayern Munich, huh, luck."


    "Do you think Bayern Munich is the best result? They are very popular to win the championship."


    Klinsmann looked surprised.


    Aldridge smiled and stopped explaining.


    The success of the league''s defending is imminent. If the quarter-finals cannot draw an opponent who is absolutely stimulating and fighting, then Millwall is likely to fall off before the UEFA Champions League semi-final start, and then it is too difficult to mobilize. It''s like a person who is already sleepy begins to squint his eyes, and no matter how hard he tries, he just struggles with his eyelids.


    In the afternoon, Aldridge called Nedved and Ronaldinho for a long time.


    In order to prepare for Bayern Munich, this time, Aldridge needs to pre-empt.


    In fact, before encountering Bayern Munich last year, Millwall was in a stage of self-change and timely adjustment of posture.


    Before that, they were dark horses. Regardless of the strength of the opponents they encountered, they would treat them as an intraday meal.


    But when playing Bayern Munich, Heathfield lowered his posture to make Millwall move. Bayern Munich later made a stop, Millwall, or Aldridge, he was a little uncomfortable and used to cracking opponents. How to adjust after being cracked by opponents, he was not fully prepared.


    But this year, Aldridge is quickly making up for his shortcomings in coaching ability, so he always expects his opponent to cause trouble for himself. Just like playing chess, he always hopes that his opponent will break the game to hone himself. .


    This weekend, Millwall will usher in the challenge of Leeds United at home.


    In the first half of the season, before the two teams met, O''Reilly was now high-key and prestigious.


    Beat Millwall?


    This possibility is never mentioned.


    Use a diplomatic rhetoric to deal with the media, such as the team will go all out, as long as the player does his best, he will be satisfied.


    Aldridge gave the opponent an 8:0 a few months ago, and now there is no arrogance. He said lightly that it was just an ordinary league.


    Millwall only waited to announce the ownership of the league title, but the situation of Leeds United was still caught up in the fierce competition.


    In the first two points in the standings, Millwall opened the third place Arsenal by more than 20 points, Manchester United also exceeded Arsenal by more than 10 points, first, second, third, divided into three grades, and the third place The gap between the sixth place points is within 6 points of the two games.


    Arsenal, Leeds United, Liverpool, Chelsea, the semi-finals, oh, wrong, it is the semi-finals of the semi-finals with the Champions League qualifiers.


    There are only seven rounds left in the league, and the four teams will fall behind if they are not careful.


    The good news for Leeds United is that they are not at least ranked sixth, but ranked fourth, even if they lose, they will not fall into the chase of the chaser.


    Over the weekend, Aldridge welcomed O''Reilly and his team at the Lion''s Cave Stadium.


    Today, Millwall sent the full main force to play, regardless of the upcoming Champions League quarter-finals, and the first round was still a guest.


    "Milvor''s starting lineup is strange today, Andy, did you find out?"


    "The main force hasn''t changed, do you mean Millwall should send a substitute?"


    "No, I mean, Ronaldinho appeared in the midfield and Nedved went to the left."


    "Maybe it''s just a change of position. Millwall''s offensive players often do this and change positions."


    "No, Ronaldinho has been active in the front waist area for 20 minutes after the start of the game, and he has not gone to the sidelines."


    "But it looks good."


    There is a big gap between the player''s ability requirements in the side activities and in the middle activities.


    So many players can only play the side, because playing the side can ignore one side, one-on-one only need to consider the defensive players on the side of the court.


    On the middle road, front and back, left and right, in all directions, if you want to break through one by one or firmly control the ball, the area to be observed will become larger and the ability requirements will become higher.


    Ronaldinho can play the midfielder, and it cannot be said to be the first time today, because in the previous game he often swapped with Nedved to create a threat in the midfield area. Today, Aldridge fixed him in the front In the waist position, Ronaldinho is not hoping to make a breakthrough in the middle, he needs Ronaldinho to play more creativity in this area!


    And this hand is specifically against Bayern Munich!

 Chapter 481： revenge?

    Nedved has an impact and an advantage over Ronaldinho.


    But Ronaldinho is more creative and free than Nedved.


    Leeds United''s midfielder is a short board. As long as Ronaldinho is not waiting for the ball lazily, he and Pirlo have not only greatly improved Millwall''s control of the midfield, but also made the offensive unpredictable.


    In the 26th minute of the game, Ronaldinho, Larson, and Pirlo completed a shocking performance!


    Larsson made a free pass on the right and caught the ball.


    Perhaps, this ball is a pass error, because the passing point of the pass is obviously not on the line of Henry and Nedved''s running position, but in front of the penalty area, where only Ronaldinho is.


    Ferdinand rushed out to stop Ronaldinho from catching the ball to complete the shot or the next pass.


    However, Ronaldinho saw the movement of Ferdinand rushing out, and rushed toward the opponent abnormally!


    "What is Ronaldinho doing? Won''t he header?"


    When Ronaldinho rushed to Ferdinand, he clearly ran past the ball landing point, one step, one step!


    Just when his head was already half a meter ahead of the ball, he suddenly braked and faced Ferdinand with a strange smile.


    Wow!


    The audience exclaimed!


    Ronaldinho slightly sideways with the back to do the ball!


    He didn¡¯t use his head, but his back. Not only did the ball drop and bounce on the back into a back pass, but the angle was appropriate. After the ball unloaded, it slowly bounced back on the trajectory. There is no need to adjust at all. The ball is just right in terms of speed and rotation. Don''t stand still is better, because it is rolling towards him, it is easier to exert force.


    boom!


    Pirlo vigorously blasted through the gate of Leeds United outside the penalty area, and all players in the midfield and backcourt were dumbfounded.


    "What a wonderful goal! What a wonderful goal! Pirlo responded to Ronaldinho''s assist to complete the long-range goal. How should we describe Ronaldinho''s assist? He completed the assist with his back. , Use the back! As we have evaluated Millwall, they are a combination of the European core and the Samba coat! Both have strong tactical discipline and teamwork, and there are many individuals who are full of free imagination! Come on, everyone, cheer for this goal and indulge in the goal process!"


    Pirlo ran to Ronaldinho after scoring a goal, turned his body so that the other side turned his back, and touched the back of his head, as if to determine whether he had grown his eyes!


    Aldridge was also crazy about the goal. He smiled with his mouth wide open, but his expression was full of incredible.


    Robbie Nedved has creativity, which is beyond doubt, but can accurately assist Pirlo with his back, which is beyond imagination.


    If you change Nedved, you can''t do this kind of action. Even if you pass the ball back to Pirlo, the limit is the heel kick.


    And Ronaldinho¡¯s creativity in this position is unpredictable. In a flash, his movement created Leeds United¡¯s defensive chaos. Rodriguez players who were behind him were all used by Ronaldinho to use the back to make the ball. The action was shocked.


    If the action is to wait for the ball to land, Leeds United will have more room to defend.


    Millwall played the ball relatively easily. Pirlo provided global stability in the midfield to ensure that the team will not fall into a passive rhythm change due to the improvement of Leeds United. He maintains the team''s stability on the court. .


    Ronaldinho, who is in the midfield, provides rhythm changes during the offense, using his breakthrough and imaginative passes to suddenly change the local situation.


    Although Leeds United has recruited heavily this season, its hard power has been greatly improved, and it can be accompanied by too many new aids. The stability of the team has problems. In addition to the rationality of the team''s lineup, there is a lack of a strong midfielder. The defensive key points are easily suppressed by strong teams. For these reasons, Leeds United has become the top six teams with the most losses and the fewest draws.


    In other words, they will either crush their opponents in one go, or they will be restrained and defeated by their opponents, and it is difficult to keep the draw.


    Even though O''Reilly is good at training this team, he can''t break the shortcomings of his own short board. Even if he loses many times, they still leave Chelsea and Liverpool behind.


    In the face of such a strong team that is good at grasping the weaknesses of opponents, the full passiveness of Leeds United cannot be compensated by will and fighting spirit.


    Before the end of the first half, Ronaldinho was focused on marking. He didn''t stick the ball too much. Pirlo was premised after Ronaldinho attracted the defensive center of gravity. At the three meters next to Ronaldinho, he responded to Henry''s return and then passed the anti-cut route. The ball, Nedvide successfully countered offside and successfully sent the ball into the goal at 45 degrees, expanding the lead.


    In the second half, Henry, who squandered several golden opportunities in the last league, took the pass from Ronaldinho Ronaldinho, which convinced Aldridge to continue to trust him.


    In fact, Aldridge didn¡¯t have many choices. If Henry¡¯s state really fell uncontrollably and played badly when he seized the opportunity, then Millwall was disastrous. He had to change the lineup. Klose also Unable to replace Henry''s role, the center must let Larson play. This change will have the effect of pulling the whole body in one shot. In April and May of the battle, this is definitely a heavy blow.


    Fortunately, Henry performed a new look today and proved himself with the efficiency of scoring and offensively handling the ball.


    O''Reilly looked numb in the coach seat.


    He should be aware at this time, but also Ritzdale, the chairman of Leeds United, should clearly understand: Rome cannot be built in a day.


    White roses in Yorkshire want to bloom like a mad lion heading to Europa. Not only is the road long, but it will not necessarily succeed if you work hard. This road will be accompanied by difficult obstacles and countless challenges.


    The good news for Leeds United is that if they can adjust their mentality, they will minimize the mental blows caused by Millwall''s inevitable double killing.


    In the interest of thinking, at least before the season, their goal was neither to win the championship, nor to defeat an opponent, but the wave of winning streak at the beginning of the season gave the club and fans unrealistic expectations.


    The initial goal was only to score in the Champions League, to obtain a huge share of benefits, and to make the club one step at a time towards success. Now, they have not fallen behind, losing to Millwall is not the end of the world, as long as the last six rounds of the game play well, get the top four Quota still holds the initiative.


    After leading three goals, Aldridge made substitutions to adjust for the upcoming Champions League.


    In the end, the game score was fixed at 3:0. Millwall double-played Leeds United this season and reported the revenge of the two battles last season.


    In the stands of the Lion''s Cave Stadium, fans cheered for the team''s victory, and at the same time, many fans slogans and cheered for the team''s upcoming trip to Munich again.


    After the game, Aldridge and O''Reilly shook hands and separated. In an interview after the game, Aldridge responded to the question with a formal tone. Manchester United also won the round.


    No one believes that Manchester United can complete the reversal with 12 points behind in the remaining six rounds. They are only slowing down the time of Millwall''s successful defending.


    Before going to Munich, Aldridge attended the official UEFA press conference.


    Fleet Street and the German media are the protagonists, and they are looking forward to the battle between Aldridge and Heathfield again.


    But Aldridge didn''t give face very much. He answered any questions with the smell of gunpowder lightly, or digressed and answered unanswered.


    Before the team set off, Arthur came to Aldridge''s apartment, shouting and cheering for Aldridge, wishing Millwall a successful revenge.


    "Why are you doing this?"


    The suitcase was already in the living room, and Aldridge looked at Arthur in a puzzled way.


    Arthur''s expression was stunned. He had been clamoring to kill Bayern Munich just now, to revenge for Millwall''s outburst last year.


    "Son, am I doing something wrong?"


    Aldridge bowed his head and sighed, "This is the way the media is, this is the way the fans are, and you are the same. It seems that Millwall and Bayern Munich have a common hatred! This is wrong, completely wrong."


    Arthur rolled his eyes and said softly: "Sometimes, football is war, and the losing side will definitely want revenge."


    Aldrich sneered and shook his head, saying: "Revenge? There is actually no hatred, but Millwall is covering up the cowardly heart. You are like a fan, shouting and killing, revenge, hehe, hey, it is better to say that Can¡¯t lose it! Was it because the game last year was the only European defeat we had in a few years, so the blow was particularly heavy?"


    Arthur''s mouth moved, and he couldn''t seem to refute Aldridge.


    After a long while, he looked like a deflated ball and asked, "Son, what do you think? What happened when we lost last year?"


    Aldrich raised his eyebrows: "Of course it is impossible, but what kind of mentality is the most important to face failure. The wrong mentality is not good for us. If we lose a ball, we will hate an opponent. Then it will only make us lose more and more! The strong man is used to victory, and at the same time, the strong man is not afraid of failure, he can climb up when he falls, and make himself stronger, instead of hating his opponent and shouting revenge. On the contrary, there is no Strong opponents, there is no strong self! I don¡¯t want to hear any words of revenge anymore. I have been tired of hearing these days. I have heard too much. It will have an impact and will mislead my team. Especially, I don¡¯t I hope you, and the people around me, are also misleading Millwall."


    After the results of the draw from the quarterfinals, the voice over the Millwall team was revenge, revenge against Bayern Munich.


    Aldridge hates this argument.


    Although he admits that meeting again with Bayern Munich in the knockout is the best result, but he is not holding a revenge mentality. For Millwall, this mental stimulation is to let them get up at the place where they fell! It''s not that you have to live with Bayern Munich.


    When normal competition is misguided into hatred, it will directly affect the mindset of the person concerned, blinded by hatred, and stunned reason, which is absolutely wrong.


    The media is not too much to watch the lively, I wish Millwall and Bayern Munich is a centenary feud, fans just simply vent their emotions.


    As a party, Aldridge, he led the team to Munich this time, the purpose is not revenge, the goal is only one: prove that Millwall is stronger than Bayern Munich! Use the results to prove!


    Arthur figured out Aldridge''s words and apologized: "Son, I''m sorry, you just treated me as if I didn''t say anything, oh no, you still have to remember what I said: return with victory !"


    Aldrich knew that Arthur was just crazy, and he was indeed an avid fan, even in the position of club president.


    He walked over to hug Arthur, and said in the opponent''s ear: "My goal is to lead Millwall to become the deserved king team in Europe, so I can''t let the emotion of hatred affect my judgment and action, I I will do my best."


    Arthur closed his eyes and smiled, and said in a deep voice, "Let me be more proud."

 Chapter 482： Bundesliga Giants

    When the hatred of Millwall and Bayern Munich was overstated, Millwall players were inevitably affected.


    Originally they were the losing side last season, which makes it easier to unbalance their mentality.


    On the flight to Munich, Aldridge used one hour to explain the correct football values ??to the whole team, so that the players knew that with the determination of revenge, they could not go further on the stage like the Champions League, to become the king. , Can''t rely on hatred to stimulate motivation, even if it really beat Bayern Munich with anger, it is not conducive to the long-term development of the team.


    "Think about our first game with Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Juventus, Real Madrid, Barcelona and so on. At that time, what were you thinking about?"


    The plane had already taken off, but Aldridge was baptizing his thoughts for the team.


    Larson replied: "We want to prove that we are not weaker than the other side, we can beat each other."


    Aldrich said with approval: "Yes, Henrik said our initial state of mind, and that state of mind is the most correct one. We should keep it forever. We lose the game because we have no opponent. Powerful, we win the game and prove that we are stronger than the opponent. It¡¯s that simple, and now we want to be the strongest and have always occupied this position, then in the face of every opponent, our mentality should be the same, strong because of victory , You must win because you are strong! I hope you remember this. This time when we go to Munich, we want to defeat Bayern Munich, but not because we lost to each other last year, but because we want to defeat all the enemies that stand in front of us. That''s all."


    When the plane landed in Munich, a large number of fanatic fans in Germany rushed to the airport to welcome them. Millwall set up a club-recognized fan organization in Germany the year before, and sowed a lot of seeds throughout the European territory. Millwall''s outstanding record, the star flocked, these seeds quickly took root and germinated and grew stronger.


    Aldridge led his team to stay in the hotel. The whole team spent a quiet period of preparations. The next day, they conducted a simple step-by-step training.


    Millwall and Bayern Munich''s two winning teams met early in the quarter-finals, which directly caused the attention of the other six teams to catch the fight to decline!


    Media from Europe to all over the world are stationed in the Munich Olympic Stadium. Even media agencies without UEFA''s broadcasting rights are also updating the game progress in real time.


    As night fell, the sky was cloudless, the Munich Olympic Stadium was packed, and the star-studded stadium awaited the debut of the two protagonists.


    When Aldridge walked out of the player''s passage like a walk, the surrounding lights flickered, and the number of reporters on the sidelines obviously increased compared with other games on weekdays. There must be a lot more shots.


    Aldridge stood on the sidelines and looked around the stadium. Speaking of which, Bayern fans were mixed with the fact that they played against Millwall again today.


    The good news is that the visitors are defeated.


    Worryingly, this defeat will be significantly stronger than last year!


    For them, the word revenge is just a joke.


    How many years has Bayern been in Europe and which giants haven''t played? If you lose a ball and form a grudge, you should not write a dense list of enemies.


    "In the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, Bayern Munich and Millwall will be the first to start in the Munich Olympics. Unexpectedly, the two teams that met in the semi-finals last season, one year later The finals met again. Last year, Bayern Munich had a 1:1 draw with Millwall in two rounds of 210 minutes. They eliminated Millwall through a penalty shootout, but in the end they lost to Manchester United in the final. He feels unstoppable and unbeatable. At least in the Premier League, they still have not lost this season. Only Arsenal have defeated them in the League Cup on all fronts. Such a good and stable team will Falling in front of Bayern Munich again? Bayern Munich also performed well this year. They are also a big favorite in the Champions League. This is a considerable contest, but after two rounds, there must be a team to leave. This is for other ambitious 8 For a strong team, it must be a good thing."


    The Champions League theme song began to play on the stadium, players from both sides entered the battlefield in a row.


    "Bayern Munich started 541.


    Goalkeeper: Kahn.


    Guards: Babel, Link, Anderson, Kufuor, Lizarazu.


    Midfielders: Salihamidzic, Jeremys, Effenberg, Sauer.


    Forward: Elber.


    Millwall started 433.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.


    Midfielders: Makelele, Pirlo, Ronaldinho.


    Forwards: Larson, Henry, Nedved.


    The starting list we got did not know if there was any mistake. Nedved was placed in the left-wing position. Brazilian Ronaldinho appeared in the front waist position. If the two are swapped, there will be no problem. Too. "


    The game started quickly, Millwall kicked off first, and was lucky.


    Kick off first in the away game, Millwall can drive the whole team into the game together through his skillful ball control.


    After all, the time required for individual players to enter the game state is different. If the opponent kicks off to launch a fast break, if a certain point has not yet entered the state, it is easy to make mistakes.


    Millwall opened the formation on the court, reasonably used the width of the court, and mainly played back and forth with the midfield.


    Bayern Munich is not too fierce in grabbing, this is due to the formation.


    Single forward Elber, bilateral forwards Sauer and Salihamidzic, the pair of Angel Wings, plus Effenberg, Bayern Munich has only 4 players at most in the frontcourt, and the two sides are defenders at Millwall After pulling to the sideline, can they grab it?


    What''s more, Effenberg didn''t dare to press too hard, fearing he would lose his midfield position.


    Millwall gave Bayern Munich three minutes without hitting the ball, and then Millwall started to attack.


    Pirlo took the ball forward, Effenberg kept the distance from Jeremys and entered the **** rhythm. Pirlo passed the ball to Ronaldinho, who was close by Jeremys and actively leaked in front of the ball. Afterwards, Nedvide on his side and back voluntarily ran back to catch the ball. Without stopping the ball, it was a horizontal push. Ronaldinho returned to run forward after leaking the ball. Bayern Munich''s third defender.


    boom!


    Ronaldinho made a decisive long-range shot, the ball slightly higher than the beam.


    "Ronaldinho''s long shot slipped out of the door, it was dangerous! Bayern Munich''s midfield defense seemed to be not strong enough. With Millwall''s sudden acceleration, Effenberg and Jeremys were 2-2. The defense is okay, but once the Millwall strikers retreat and cooperate, they will miss 2 of 3."


    Heathfield was expressionless, but his heart shivered slightly.


    Millwall is indeed stronger than last year. The most intuitive manifestation is that Pirlo and Ronaldinho, one is excellent in organizational ability, and the other is more unpredictable in teamwork.


    Last season was Ronaldinho¡¯s first season as the main player to start playing for Millwall. At that time, he performed amazingly, mostly due to his personal ability. However, when he was familiar with his opponent and targeted and restricted in advance, he The performance in the key game can not be said to be bad, but it will lose the magic power.


    This season, he is more integrated into the team, his understanding with his teammates and his ability to improve, especially the ability to read the game, so that his threats have skyrocketed, and the manifestation of creativity is unpredictable, which has surpassed Nedved , Because his ability to control the ball is stronger than Nedved.


    Bayern Munich attacked, Henry started to retreat, and Ronaldinho also retreated, but neither of them had specific defensive marking tasks.


    Bayern Munich passed the forward through the full-back, and the ball came to Salihamidzic''s feet. He realized he was in isolation before receiving the ball.


    Nedvide returned to the defense to suppress Babel who came up with assists. Midway Makelele and Pirlo watched Effenberg one after the other. Jeremys did not dare to come up because Ronaldinho and Henry were beside him. One behind him, if he came forward and was counterattacked, the defense line was almost undefended!


    Salihamidzic is in front of Zambrotta. If he wants to find his teammates through the pass, short pass is basically impossible. Long pass can either find the opposite Sauer or Elber, and both of them are also Schneider and Materazzi stared.


    He can only personally break through.


    Angel Wings plucked the ball to the outside, then suddenly turned inward in front of Zambrotta, Zambrotta defended the opponent, turned around and stuck his position, poked the ball back, the ball came At the foot of Southgate.


    Millwall defended successfully.


    Southgate took the ball a step forward and immediately knocked the ball to Zambrotta, who was running at the edge, when Salihamidic made a move towards him.


    Zambrotta passed the ball straight to Nedvide in front. Nedvide also knocked out the ball to Pirlo. The latter made a slight adjustment and then passed forward.


    The ball crossed the top of Jeremys''s head, Henry turned his back to meet the ball, and Anderson pressed back behind him, and after Henry jumped, the header point to the side.


    Ronaldinho passed by both Henry and Anderson, seamlessly cooperating with Henry. He took off the ball while accelerating forward, and one faced the shrinking guard line of Link and Kufuor.


    Before the big penalty area, Ronaldinho fired a long-range shot again. This long-range shot was extremely threatening, but unfortunately Kahn flew to save the ball.


    "Kahn''s world-class save! Ronaldinho almost penetrated Kahn''s ten fingers!"


    Heathfield stood up, his expression dignified.


    The Bayern Munich campaign was too weak!


    The two sides of the offensive and defensive match against Millwall last season seem to have dropped by one grade, even if they are still known as one of the top European teams this season.


    Originally, when the two teams met last season, Bayern Munich did not break through Millwall''s gate, relying on the opportunity created by the positioning ball.


    Intuitively, Bayern Munich''s formation has one less forward than last year, but it has strengthened the offensive on the wing.


    The five guards are still five guards, but their roles are very different.


    Matteus has finalized his next home and will move to the US Major League to dig for gold. The UEFA Champions League farewell is staged in the second group stage.


    Anderson can''t replace Matteus, although the starter looks like he is in the same position as Mattus last season, but his role on the field is never the same.


    One is a free man, who can attack and retreat, and one is a central defender who simply defends. The areas and tasks limited by his duties are firmly nailed to a position. Bayern Munich lacks a free man when attacking. At the point of defense, there is a lack of Matteus who can flexibly switch between the interception center and the scavenger while defending.


    No matter how strong the Bayern Munich is, Aldridge will make Bayern Munich submit to Millwall in this game!

 Chapter 483： No way!

    "It seems that the list of starting formations is not wrong. Ronaldinho is indeed playing the midfield today. Nedvide played the left winger. For the time being, it seems that Nedvide''s role in the attack is not obvious. Ronald Dinho is very active."


    After playing for 15 minutes, Bayern Munich was slightly passive on the scene, due to their lack of offense.


    This is a team that emphasizes the whole. It is the same as Millwall''s core football philosophy, but Millwall''s current advantage is that the player''s personal talent in offense is better.


    Bayern Munich is relying on frontcourt players to attack, as long as it advances within 40 yards of the goal, the offensive players will be isolated.


    Saul is also good, Salihamidzic is not enough, personal breakthrough is unsuccessful, the pass will be wrong.


    Who will allow Bayern Munich to meet the frontcourt less?


    Elber and Effenberg were stared to death, but Jeremys dared not make a big step forward.


    What should I do next?


    Aldrich squinted his arms and narrowed his eyes to look at Bayern Munich''s full-back, Lizarazu.


    It''s you!


    It''s your turn!


    Why not Babel?


    Because Nedved''s defense is obviously stronger than Larson, Babel''s assists are certainly not as obvious as Lizarazu.


    Bayern Munich is caught in a dilemma, the offensive can not get in, the back line is always singled out by Ronaldinho in the middle, Ronaldinho is the protagonist in the first 20 minutes, but it always gives the impression that he is just a fist and a flower Only one foot of the three-footed long-range shot hit the door frame.


    It¡¯s a good thing not to lose the ball, but here is after all the Munich Olympic Stadium, the home of Bayern Munich!


    This is not the same as the situation between the two teams last season. Bayern played away last year. It doesn''t matter if they can''t win their opponents in 180 minutes in two rounds. The further the game, the more favorable they will be.


    This year, the situation reversed. Millwall played away first. If they can''t win their opponents at home and go to London in the next round, will they play away from home? Will it be more advantageous than Millwall?


    Lizarazu really started to step forward to assist.


    As soon as he went up, he received very good results. On his side, Sauer took the ball and faced his fellow Schneider. Schneider''s eight winds firmly blocked the opponent''s intrinsic route. To get to the bottom, casually, there is an Elber at the center of the road, and it is no problem for the high ball Materazzi to prevent Elber.


    However, Sauer played a two-on-one match with Lizarazu, he passed the ball, Lizarazuura responded, he then ran inside, Lizarazu played the time difference, and took the ball from Schneider. Passed on.


    Sauer had just turned the ball around, but the light around him was dim, and he was suddenly alert. Someone pressed him close and managed to poke the ball under him.


    Who?


    Southgate!


    Today, Millwall¡¯s double central defender has a different division of labor. Materazzi is staring, Southgate intercepts, Materazzi¡¯s mission is fixed, and Elber is killed in the defender area. Southgate is more flexible. By observing the pre-judgment situation on the field, the opponent''s penetration offensive is intercepted.


    On the side of Bayern Munich''s offensive, Southgate moved to the side. In the case of a mark on the back line, he did not mark the task, which can prevent this situation of two-on-one being penetrated.


    Hessfield saw Southgate once again succeeded in stealing the ball, knowing that Aldridge was very well prepared for the game. This was the third time Southgate had succeeded in stealing the ball.


    This is also thanks to the efficiency of Millwall¡¯s intelligence gathering.


    This was not possible last season, because the opponent had double forwards, and now there is only a single forward. Aldridge made a decision between interception and delay, allowing Southgate to intercept, in other words, if he made a mistake in interception, Millwall''s back line will be penetrated in nine or nine times, so although Southgate is not the last person in front of the goalkeeper, he is the most critical barrier in defense.


    After the successful pass, Southgate passed straight to the front right, Larsson received the ball behind the center line, no one was watching him, Lizarazu and Sauer quickly back, but can only watch Larsson belt The ball rushed along the right.


    Jeremys didn''t dare to go to the side defense. At least there was a three-back in the back. If Larson took the ball and cut in from the side, the one close to the three-back could be blocked. The defense was not as big as the double-back.


    But he couldn''t watch Larson take the ball so brazenly. Jeremys saw Effenberg''s running direction, and he was relieved that the tiger had chased Larson at full speed.


    Just before Effenberg was three meters away from Larsen, Larsen suddenly passed the ball back behind Effenberg, Effenberg was hesitant, looking back, Pirlo followed, but the ball was not taken. The adjustment was passed back to Larson, the tiger turned back, and the distance was pulled away again by Larson!


    The tiger was annoyed, and the other party turned his dizzy head.


    He continued to chase, and Larson was almost approaching the penalty zone, and Lizzarazu was back in place.


    Just before entering the penalty area, Larson stopped and made a light pass to the right before Lizarazu reached the ball and then cut quickly into the penalty area.


    Lizarazu turned his head and looked, someone received the ball there and continued to take the ball.


    Schneider!


    Where is Sauer?


    Just behind him, he didn¡¯t chase it completely. When he saw that Lizarazu and Effenberg had caught Larson, he stopped, but at the same time, Schneider surpassed him at full speed, catching up with Larson. When the ball arrives, continue to bring the ball to the bottom.


    Seeing this scene with wide eyes, Heathfield had an unknown hunch in his heart.


    Effenberg and Chasing Larsson, Lizarazu continued to go down to seal Schneider. If the opponent does not pass, and the next adjustment is made, Lizarazu will definitely have the opportunity to haunt the other side.


    Larsson cut in, caught in the bag between Kufuor and Effenberg, Henry also forced the middle of the penalty area, caught in the middle of Kufuor and Anderson, Nedvide also cut in from the other side and outcourt the goal Point, Babel and Link attacked him strongly.


    Ronaldinho also ran into the penalty area, and Jerry Meskin followed him.


    It seems that all of Millwall''s offensive points are marked by highly tactical Bayern Munich players, and it is not a one-to-one mark. Bayern Munich has a defensive advantage in number.


    Schneider chose to start the pass after he got off the floor.


    The ball flew from the ground, crossed a parabola, and began to descend from ascent to the top. Everyone in the penalty area was paying attention to the trajectory of the ball.


    Front point, middle road, back point...


    Grass, Schneider, missed all three points of this foot ball, missed the pass? !


    Like the audience at the scene, Heathfield could look at the whole situation. At this moment, he said to himself inconceivably: "No!"


    The ball landed on the top corner of the other side of the penalty area, where someone received the ball and was wearing a Millwall jersey.


    Left back, Zambrotta!


    Immediately after Zambrotta stopped the ball, he knocked it back to the top of the penalty area and Pirlo appeared there!


    The Bayern Munich crowd will be overwhelmed.


    Pirlo didn''t choose to shoot long after stopping the ball. On the occasion of a long shot, he calmed down like a normal person.


    Although the shooting position is very good, there are no Bayern Munich players around to harass, but there are too many people in the penalty area. This shot will be shot from a long shot, and it will hit the player out of ten and nine times, unless it is pinned on luck. To score the goal or drill through the gap, also pray for Kahn, the door god, to close with his fingers.


    Calm down and observe.


    Pirlo looked at the Six Ways and made the most accurate judgment in a very limited time.


    Jeremys and Effenberg have rushed towards him.


    Ronaldinho should have a chance to get the ball, but Jeremys just blocked the pass.


    Schneider''s position is too far, and Larsson is good for Zarazu.


    Nedved was caught by Link and Babel.


    Someone moved and rushed out to grab his ball.


    who is it? !


    Anderson!


    This midfielder who relocated from the relegated veteran powerhouse M¨¹nchen to Bayern Munich, after all, has not experienced too many games of this level. At this time, he almost instinctively blocked Pirlo from the outside. Maybe He thought that Pirlo would have a long-range shot. When he rushed out, he could enlarge the area of ??the block and use his body.


    Looking down, Jeremys, Effenberg, and Anderson approached him from three different directions in front of Pirlo, but Pirlo chose a direct pass.


    Anderson subconsciously stretched his feet to block, but the ball rolled over less than half a meter from his feet.


    He looked back in horror and saw that Henry was half-turned to meet the ball and it was a shot!


    Whether it is Kufuor or Link, it is very close to Henry. As long as Henry catches the ball and adjusts, turns and shoots again, it will give the opponent the opportunity to destroy.


    However, Henry directly turned half to make a sweeping shot to attack the goal, which made Bayern Munich''s defenders can only look at the ball.


    Close to the goal than the penalty point, Kahn couldn''t stop the shot from the bottom up after this shot.


    The ball got into the net, Kahn made a save but didn''t touch the ball.


    Bayern Munich generals raised their hands to signal Henry offside, but the referee ignored it.


    The referee''s finger is in the middle, Millwall leads 1:0!


    "Henry opened the record! The guest Millwall leads! It''s unexpected. Millwall actually advanced the ball. This goal was definitely a heavy blow for Bayern Munich. Not only did they fall behind, but they also gave After the opponent scored a guest goal, in a contest of this level, the difference between a ball is enough to determine the outcome, not to mention the precious gold guest goal! Millwall''s two full-backs pressed on the assists and received good results. Will this be arranged by Hall before the game?"


    After scoring a goal, Henry climbed up from the crowd in the penalty area and ran along the bottom line towards the corner flag zone in a relaxed manner. He didn''t seem excited or crazy, but he had obvious self-confidence.


    This season is his season of absolute confidence. The number of goals in the league and the Champions League is enough to make him full of energy and become the world''s first striker!


    Aldrich stretched his fists with both hands.


    One goal lead, but also a guest goal.


    Although there is still time, in fact, Bayern Munich is not far from desperate.


    The full-backs boldly assisted, which sounded nothing new.


    Schneider, Zambrotta''s pressure, of course, was arranged by Audridge, but when is the pressure to assist, but also very particular.


    In position battles, the two can only appear at most in the midline position, and can no longer move up.


    But if Millwall plays a fast-break counterattack, the two of them can boldly assist up until the opponent''s bottom line.


    The difference is that when Millwall plays a positional battle, Bayern Munich will launch a quick counterattack once the fight is unsuccessful, the full-back is not in position, and the defensive pressure will be great.


    However, when Millwall counterattacked, Bayern Munich''s thinking changed from offensive to defensive, sounded a defensive alert, retreat across the board, destruction was the first priority, the mentality when being counterattacked and the mentality of confronting the position and wartime Quite differently, in other words, if the probability of being counterattacked by Millwall''s position is 70%, then the probability of Millwall''s counterattack against Bayern Munich and then being counterattacked by the other party may be only 20%.

 Chapter 484： Shocked

    Bayern Munich fans witnessed the scene they least want to see in the stands: conceding the ball at home!


    Masters showdown, the victory is only a few centimetres.


    The gold content of away goals is too big, to what extent? In a sense, it equals two goals!


    Aldridge''s eyes were fierce and he was full of enthusiasm.


    Now, Bayern Munich are forced to a dead end.


    Even though Millwall was eliminated from the penalty spot a year ago, he suffered the first European defeat in club history.


    However, Bayern Munich don¡¯t forget that they didn¡¯t even take away a tie in London, and they didn¡¯t score a goal!


    Heathfield''s eyes looked at the players on the court with anxiety. Under the leadership of Effenberg, the morale of Bayern Munich will not be defeated by a goal.


    But the passive situation on the field cannot be ignored by Heathfield.


    The three-back system originated from Bayern Munich, to be precise is the factor that Matteus can no longer play for Bayern Munich due to his age.


    There is Mattius, who can provide change during offense and switch flexibly while defending. This is not something that Anderson can replace, by no means.


    Now Bayern Munich is based on the whole, but Millwall is not a small fish and shrimp in the Bundesliga. They can be crushed with their personal abilities.


    The fact is that Bayern Munich''s offensive players have individual abilities. Looking at Europe, they are not superstars at all, and their personal abilities are limited.


    Salihamidzic, Sauer, Elber, Effenberg, and the technical ability alone in the Bundesliga, can be compared with the players in the same position of the giants. Which onions are they? It is only if Effenberg scores points because of his spiritual attributes.


    Millwall was eliminated last season, 180 minutes in regular time plus 30 minutes in overtime. The two teams are evenly divided. Bayern Munich is strong in terms of integrity, unity, and spirituality. It is not how powerful the scene is. It equals the total score. The goal still relies on corner kicks. When Mattus is not on the court, Bayern Munich''s overall strength will inevitably decline even if it is united.


    Heathfield didn''t make any changes, and still watched them change.


    Even if Bayern Munich had a weak offense due to the reinforcement of the three-back defense, he did not take the initiative to change.


    Change is sometimes easy to say, but putting into action is accompanied by many risks.


    Especially for a team that pays attention to the whole, a big change in one point, the chain effect caused by it is inestimable.


    In the first half, the two teams made no achievements. Bayern Munich was very passive for 45 minutes.


    In the positional battle, the four-man front team cannot rely on the frontcourt to threaten, and the full-back assists are accompanied by the risk of being counterattacked. Especially when Millwall is counterattacking, the two full-backs also put pressure on Bayern. The goal in Munich was loud.


    "The 45-minute game is over. The guest Millwall leads Bayern Munich by one goal. Throughout the first half, the three best performers are all from Millwall. The first should be Southgate. He did Out of 5 precise interceptions, he was the key player to stifle Bayern Munich¡¯s threat offensive. The second place was Pirlo. Whether it was a positional battle or a counterattack, his role could not be ignored, a stable pass success rate, a critical moment ''S good pass, his assists allowed Henry to catch up with Rivaldo and Raul in the Champions League shooter list, with Jader ahead, Ronaldinho in third place, he was very active on the field and suppressed in the offensive With Jeremys, the defense also forced Jeremys to not dare to insert assists, which directly led to Bayern Munich''s central offense completely passive, now the score is definitely ideal for Millwall, but will Bayern Munich sit still and wait? Will Heathfield make adjustments to reverse the situation in the second half? We will wait and see!"


    At halftime, Aldridge praised the team, but asked the players not to be slack, and then he made some tactical adjustments.


    Heathfield did not change Bayern Munich''s overall formation in the second half, but it can be clearly seen that Bayern Munich''s two full-backs are more bold and aggressive to participate in the attack.


    In the big frame, Heathfield didn¡¯t dare to act rashly. The defense system of the three-back plus bilateral defender is mature, and he played well in the Bundesliga. Sudden changes may cause confusion.


    As a result, the full-back can only let his hands and feet assist to increase the side suppression.


    In an attack in the 55th minute, Heathfield frowned.


    Nedved did not run back to the midfield and participate in defense!


    Babel drove the ball on the right, and after Salihamidzic began to cut in, Babel faced Zambrotta. Salihamidzic was guarded by Southgate. In contrast, Millwall still dominates, with one more midfielder, Pirlo.


    Babel took a cross from the outside and the ball was headered by Materazzi next to Elber.


    The freed ball passed the Makelele header and was pushed forward to Pirlo.


    Pirlo didn''t wait for Effenberg to get a direct pass from the back to the frontcourt.


    Ronaldinho took the ball on his back, and Jeremy immediately lowered his weight to avoid being passed by the opponent.


    Ronaldinho seemed to have long eyes behind his head, but he turned back to Jeremys and knocked the ball from between Jeremys''s legs with his heel.


    Jeremys felt baffled, who passed behind him, to whom? Henry?


    He was shocked when he turned around.


    The man who got the ball behind him was actually Nedved!


    At the same time, Ronaldinho ran to the left of the penalty area.


    This time, the scene seemed to return to normal, Nedved in the front waist position, Ronaldinho on the left.


    The two exchanged instantly!


    When Jeremys went to grab Nedvide''s foot, Nedvide passed to Ronaldinho in advance. Ronaldinho stopped the ball on the left side of the penalty area and greeted the ball. There was a lateral inward movement after the right foot touched the ball. trend.


    Link also quickly stopped and turned to block the opponent''s lateral inward cut. He almost subconsciously tilted his center of gravity to the left, then, watching the ball in front of Ronaldinho''s right foot trajectory reversing unexpectedly.


    Ronaldinho was facing the goal at an angle of 45 degrees. He pulled the ball with his right foot and moved it laterally.


    But his right foot had just reached half of the ball, but it seemed to be magic. He pulled the ball back to the left again. At the same time, Ronaldinho''s movement to the right half of the movement, suddenly changed from the left to wipe out Link , He didn''t cut inwards, still a straight line!


    Touch the ball once and change direction twice!


    The outer and inner insteps completed this magic in the blink of an eye!


    Tossing the bull tail!


    Link was tricked into the center of gravity and Ronaldinho''s extraordinary success, which dazzled tens of thousands of spectators throughout the Munich Olympic Stadium!


    Ronaldinho drew the ball quickly to the penalty area. Link had already been passed. Anderson could only come to make up the position. Ronaldinho stepped on the bicycle with his right foot and left the ball with a fancy left kick to hit the middle of the penalty area.


    Anderson stopped the car and looked back. Fortunately, Henry was not there. Henry went out to take the spot and took Kufuor.


    However, someone still got this pass in the middle of the penalty area and hit the ball with a blast to the gate of Kahn''s guard.


    It was almost the distance of the penalty spot, Kahn once again flew to the extreme but failed to touch the ball.


    "Larsen scored! Millwall scored another goal in the second half, and now they are leading by two goals! Two guest goals! If Bayern Munich cannot score, they will almost be declared eliminated! No one will believe that even if they are strong If Bayern Munich can go to London to beat Millwall with two goals away, in England, Millwall has never lost the European war! Never!"


    An excellent striker combination, when the opportunity appears, the most taboo is the overlapping of running positions, two or more people to grab a point, if such a situation occurs, it can be judged that the striker combination lacks tacit understanding.


    Fortunately, Millwall''s strike line is tacit enough. When Henry moves to the back-point, Larson will not go to the back point to grab a point with Henry no matter whether he is active or passive, so he naturally rushed to the middle. On the route, he also completed a crossover with Henry. Henry took Kufuor. Larson''s killing to the middle was shocking. There was no need to adjust the ball. The consciousness of shooting and the goal was done during the run. Preparation, including observing the goalkeeper position, how to shoot, etc.


    Larsson stood on the spot after scoring a goal, first raised his right fist and squeezed a roar, then smiled and pointed at Ronaldinho, lamenting his shocking performance just now.


    Ronaldinho showed his teeth and laughed, hurriedly jumped over and was hugged by Larson.


    He condescended and looked at Bayern Munich with his head down and silent players.


    He has a demon, planted in this stadium.


    For him, he could not understand the no-hate theory that Aldridge instilled in them, which was too far away, as if the distance between a saint and a mortal.


    He just wanted to get revenge here, burying Bayern Munich with his own hands, if he still doesn''t hate, then cover the coffin with his own hands, dig a pit, kick the coffin in, and fill it with mud, if not happy, then in the grave Jump up for another samba.


    All the spectators at the Munich Olympics, whether they were fans of Bayern Munich or Millwall, were shocked by Ronaldinho''s performance of kicking the ball and assisting the ball in one go.


    Is the flick tail fresh?


    This is not the case, but it can be played in a game of this level, and the intuitive shock is completely different. After all, the game is carried out under stimulation and pressure. Everyone focuses on the game with breathless breath. The level impromptu performance is not only fancy, but also practical. If Ronaldinho plays badly, it will become a laughing stock. If the play is successful, it is enough to make people worship.


    Even more ironically, German fans must not be unfamiliar with the action of bullfighting. The first person in history to be played with by bullfighting is a German player named Beckenbauer. Football emperor!


    In the German land, in the face of the German classmate Bayern Munich, at their home, Ronaldinho did not score, but the blow and shock he brought to the Germans was far stronger than the goal.


    Aldrich stood on the side of the field with his arms akimbo, looking back and looking around, with an incredible smile on his face.


    Ronaldinho will play a variety of fancy ways in training. He can use his shoulders and calf to pass, but training and competition are two different things. In the fierce competition of pressure and time, many extraordinary actions are It is undesirable, even if you are riding a bicycle sometimes, especially when you are not accelerating, it is not important whether you can pass the bicycle. It will often delay the fighter, waste time, give your opponent more time to defend, and make up for the formation. .


    But Ronaldinho''s series of movements just combined skill and practicality perfectly.


    Awesome!


    Aldrich turned to look at the stadium where applause was gradually quiet. Many Bayern Munich fans applauded Ronaldinho''s performance.


    Aldrich said: Millwall, who fell here last year, came back, not only came back, but also, I came here with a better Millwall, fell here, we will be here again Get up, and walk down firmly, to the end of the championship road!

 Chapter 485： Fiasco

    With two goals in hand and a guest goal, when there were 30 minutes left in the game, Aldridge began to change the formation, allowing Nedved to retreat into a 442 midfield diamond formation.


    At this time, Millwall needs to control the rhythm steadily, and it is best to strengthen the midfield. It has a certain advantage in the midfield. Nedved can go back and can firmly control the situation in his own hands.


    Bayern Munich started to attack wildly, the two sides fought against the wind, but they lacked a midfield contact point, and there was no point for a fatal blow in the penalty area. Elber alone, hard to support, even a header. Has no high point.


    While Heathfield was preparing to give it a go, Aldridge got angry on the sidelines.


    He roared angrily at a player on the court, but maybe the distance was too far, and the opponent could not hear what he was calling.


    This player is Ronaldinho.


    Ronaldinho was kicking more and more as long as he touched the ball and he kept attacking nonstop without any hesitation.


    This dribbling forward of the ball involuntarily brought Henry, Larson, and Nedved forward, otherwise he would be in isolation.


    This is contrary to Aldridge''s tactical requirements.


    Blindly playing fast is not the best option. Millwall now needs to consume Bayern Munich through control. As time goes by, Bayern Munich will definitely become more and more irritable. At the same time, Millwall can use the midfield advantage to force all attacks. Players have to participate in the defense, and the defensive players in the backcourt may also take the liberty to come up and press, then there will be a better chance.


    However, Ronaldinho forwarded the ball from the defense and rushed forward. Once the attack was unsuccessful, he would give the opponent space to fight back. At the same time, the attacking player stayed in the frontcourt and the position was excellent.


    Even though Ronaldinho had a wonderful performance beyond expectations, he was not mature enough, and at this time exposed the shortcomings of tactical discipline decline in the state of hyperactivity.


    Heathfield''s substitutions are close, but Aldridge also makes substitutions.


    "Millwall and Bayern Munich are replaced at the same time! Bayern Munich seems to be fighting, Ziegler replaced Anderson, this big close to 1. 9 will directly threaten Millwall''s goal, Sergio After replacing Jeremys, Heathfield hopes that 30-year-old Sergio can help through experience in the middle. Millwall unexpectedly replaced Ronaldinho, who was eye-catching, and Lampard took over. He enters."


    Ronaldinho found that he was a little displeased when he was replaced. When he walked to the side, he asked Aldrich puzzled: "Boss, why did you change me?"


    "This is not the time to talk about this. After the game, I will have an important conversation with you."


    Aldridge responded to him very quickly, then patted him on the shoulder and let him sit back.


    Ronaldinho was inexhaustible, and it was a matter of course that he was suddenly replaced and depressed.


    After Bayern Munich and Millwall were replaced at the same time, Millwall''s number of offenses on the scene weakened, but the midfield control was strengthened. Pirlo went up to play the midfielder. Nedved and Lampard formed a double center forward. Bayern Munich Still mainly based on the offensive offense, and began to make frequent high-ball crosses.


    The game showed a very different situation. Bayern Munich played fast when attacking. Millwall''s defense will control the game rhythm steadily and patiently look for opportunities. When the number of offenses decreases, the threat of offense will increase.


    In the 79th minute of the game, Henry and Larson had two consecutive matches on the front line. Henry suddenly chose a strong attack in front of Kufuor. After hitting the penalty area, he shot and was blocked by Kahn. Pirlo followed up. Long shots flew on the beam.


    "Millwall nearly widened the score again. Although Bayern Munich''s offensive is more aggressive, they are a bit of luck, and Millwall''s offense is threatening at a glance. It is a pity that if Henry''s shooting angle is more tricky Some, or Pirlo can suppress the ball, they will put Bayern Munich into the bottomless abyss."


    The game entered the last ten minutes of regular time, and the scene became more intense, and both sides were competing.


    In the 86th minute, Lizarazu broke the ball with a ball, made a fake cross in front of Schneider and then pulled the ball back to the position. A low pass was passed to Elber to take the ball in the penalty area. When Elber turned around, he was going to shoot, but the result was unsatisfactory and kicked!


    However, his faulty ball hit Materazzi''s leg and deflected towards the middle of the goal. Ziegler, with his long legs, fell down cleverly and kicked the ball into the goal.


    This goal was probably not expected by Heathfield. At least Ziegler wanted to increase the high point in the penalty area.


    "Bayern Munich pulled one back! Revive the life! For Ziegler''s achievements on the field, this ball has luck, but the goal cannot be ignored. 1:2, can Bayern Munich score another one at the last moment?"


    Effenberg boosted the morale of the team and strived to go to the next city in the final stage.


    Aldridge had no tension with his hands on his hips and took a ten thousand steps back. Even if he was evenly equalized, Millwall would definitely accept it.


    At this time, the test is the willpower of the team.


    After the kick-off of the game, Bayern Munich overwhelmed, and there was not much time left.


    Their pressure, and in an instant, Millwall''s attacking players in the frontcourt also started to run, and there was a huge vacuum in the midfield.


    Lampard passed the ball to Nedved, who drove the ball directly over Sergio, and then went all the way forward. Effenberg just grabbed Lampard and threw it. The chasing distance is obviously too far.


    All the way up to the restricted area, Nedved was not hindered. In the dense area of ??the middle road, Millwall suddenly formed a local number advantage.


    After Nedved''s pass to Pirlo, he started to insert, Henry also inserted, and Larson pulled out to make a response.


    Pirlo handed the ball to Larson without hesitation. The latter passed the ball on the other side and the ball passed diagonally from the middle of Kufuor and Link.


    Both thought that Nedved and Henry would be offside, but Babel, who was shrinking towards the middle on the other side, wrapped his tail and caused the middle to be penetrated.


    Nedvide took the ball on the left in front of the goal and made a cross. When Kahn moved to the other side, he could only watch Henry easily shoot the ball into the goal.


    "The two teams scored one goal each in one minute! Henry scored twice, and he helped the team continue to lead Bayern Munich by two goals. This goal was too bad for Bayern Munich. They were eager to equalize the score and were fully pressed. Millwall easily penetrated the back line. Kufuor and Link thought that there would be a central defender in the middle. As a result, neither of them could target the players they should target. In this way, 1:3 Millwall¡¯s advantage is better than 0:2! Because Bayern Munich can¡¯t score again in this game and they will go to London in the next round, if they want to qualify, they must score at least three goals!"


    Just pulled back one and saw a ray of life, but was hit again in less than a minute, and the Munich Olympic Stadium fell into silence.


    On the sidelines, Aldridge made a gesture of depressing with both hands towards the players on the court, allowing them to stabilize their emotions and not to be careless because they scored the third goal.


    Many strong teams are talented and have no tenacity of willpower. In this case, they are often defeated. On the contrary, the willpower of Bayern Munich cannot be ignored. As long as the game is not over, Millwall cannot be relaxed.


    After the kick-off, Bayern Munich learned a lesson and did not dare to overpower it. Millwall began to kill time after gaining the ball. In addition, Aldridge used consecutive substitutions and strengthened the defense. The final score of the game was no longer. Changes.


    "1:3, the end of the game, this score must be beyond everyone''s expectations. It was here last season. Bayern Munich defeated Millwall 1:0 in 90 minutes, and eliminated the opponent after a penalty shootout after 120 minutes. Two years later, the same two teams met again on the same field. Millwall defeated Bayern Munich 3-1 in 90 minutes. On the road to the semifinals, Millwall gained a huge lead. Bayern Munich will go to London in the next game. If the opponent does not score a goal, at least 3 goals can be made to make a comeback. This is probably an impossible task."


    After the game, Heathfield took the initiative to shake hands with Aldridge.


    He had to admit that after fighting against Aldridge again a year later, the opponent made Millwall stronger. The process of three goals reflects Millwall''s progress and improvement. This is the credit of the coach. At the same time, Millwall The tactical discipline and execution of tactics on the court have also reached a qualitative level.


    Aldridge quickly left the court. On the court, Henry raised his fists with a happy face. He was sure that he would enter the Champions League semi-finals with the team for the third time in three years. He was full of confidence in breaking into the finals. No matter who your opponent is in the semifinals.


    The Millwall team thanked the fans who came to cheer for them on the court, and many of Bayern Munich''s players left the court early in frustration.


    At the post-match press conference, Audrey denied that Millwall had reached the semi-finals. He said that the game was 180 minutes. Only at the end of the last second can the outcome be determined. No matter how slim the probability is on the football field, Can happen.


    Asked about the secret of defeating Bayern Munich, Aldridge put the credit to the players.


    "They usually practice hard, prepare for the game, self-adjust before the game, and play on the spot. They used facts to confirm a constant truth: after sweating, they have the opportunity to harvest. This is also Millwall''s In the philosophy of football, we never think that victory will be achieved. Only when we work harder and pay more than others can we win the victory."


    As for the German reporters who think Bayern Munich lacks attention to Millwall, Heathfield also wanted to use last year''s method to deal with Millwall is outdated, but instead was tied to his hands and feet, Aldridge was unwilling to comment.


    It''s hard to say that the responsibility is all on Heathfield. This is to devalue Millwall''s victory. Especially last year, Heathfield was the winner. The winner will not take the initiative to change. This is the unspoken law of football circles.


    Who has ever seen the champion''s division make drastic reforms?


    Who has ever seen a famous coach teach the team''s tactics on the road to victory?


    A winning team, a team accustomed to winning, often only decides to transform into a rebirth of rebirth when it suffers a bitter defeat at a certain point in time.


    Bayern Munich had a great momentum before this, and today''s unexpected defeat at home may be an opportunity for change, but maybe not, because they only lost to Millwall and not derailed from many top European teams.


    After the game, the team quickly packed up and took the plane back to London. Most of the players began to adjust themselves after getting on the plane, calming the excitement. Some players were reading, some players were playing poker together, some Listening to music.


    Ronaldinho was listening to music. At this time, Aldridge sat down beside him, his expression serious and scary.

 Chapter 486： Another way to beat your opponent

    Ronaldinho has been waiting for Aldridge to appear in front of him since he was replaced in the game. He started this conversation. He has a lot to say to Aldridge.


    When Aldridge sat down next to him, he immediately took off his headphones and started talking.


    "Boss, I feel great today, it''s really great, you should let me play the whole game... I think the opponent''s defender can''t defend me at all, then they become two central defenders, and the defense is empty. It¡¯s getting bigger, if I¡¯m on the court, I can... I don¡¯t understand, I think we can score more goals, definitely...¡±


    Ronaldinho has been saying that he sometimes has resentment in his words, like the feeling of a child''s temper.


    When he kept saying that he couldn''t really talk, he closed his mouth and stared at Aldridge, waiting for an explanation.


    Aldridge spread his palms and said lightly: "Look, this is your problem."


    "What''s wrong with me?"


    "Your problem is that you start to become what you want to play on the court."


    "What do you mean?"


    Aldridge sighed and said: "If you play according to your ideas, Pavel also plays according to his ideas. Thierry, Henrik, Andrea, etc., 11 players on the field , All play according to your own ideas, are you sure that this will be a team? Can you cooperate together? You can finally win the game? You will not be conflicted because of conflicting personal ideas?"


    Ronaldinho frowned, saying nothing.


    Aldridge patiently said: "As far as the game is concerned, I let the team stabilize the rhythm. This is my tactical purpose, but you are on the court to attack, and other teammates can''t just watch you take the ball. Rush forward, so you have driven other players and violated my tactical requirements. Me and you will not discuss whether my tactical arrangements are correct or not, and I will not explain this to you because this is not what you should What you care about is what you need to think about. There is only one thing you need to do. I let you do what you do on the court, and you do what you want. Obey my tactical arrangement. My purpose is only one, to lead the team to victory, and your What is your purpose? If your purpose is the same as mine, for the victory of the team, for the team to create brilliance, then you must cooperate with me. Now, you tell me personally that what you are after is wearing a Millwall jersey What is it? What is it?"


    Aldridge''s tone was light and his expression was serious, which brought Ronaldinho''s unprecedented pressure. Under Aldrich''s undoubted words and questions, Ronaldinho swallowed and said in a deep voice: "I also hope to help the team win. "


    "Very well, we have reached a consensus. I hope you can prove this with action, don''t let me down."


    Aldridge pressed lightly on his shoulder with one hand. He stood up again and said with a sigh of relief, he smiled and said, "I did a good job today and scared the Germans."


    Ronaldinho was relieved when he suddenly heard Aldridge''s praise and raised his head to smile. After Aldridge walked away, he shook his head.


    At first, he was bitter in the stomach, but in the end he became self-blameful and frightened.


    Especially when he was questioned just now, and Aldridge''s commanding tone made his heart hang up all at once. He was really not afraid of Aldridge''s anger, he was afraid that the other party would exude a light and majestic gesture.


    For Brazilian players, freedom is a natural thing. Occasionally, there can be one or two stricter players, especially those who can integrate into the European team system. They are regarded as role models. They have technical advantages over European players, but they often lack teams. Centripetal force.


    Aldridge did not want Ronaldinho to become a player outside of the free tactical system because of his talent.


    There are three options in front of him.


    First, Ronaldinho left.


    Second, taking Ronaldinho as the absolute core, betting all the team''s honor and shame on him, giving him absolute privileges, he played well, the team will win in battle, his state has fallen, and the team is in a collective downturn.


    Third, try his best to train Ronaldinho into a team player, restrain his freedom, and let him do what he can to serve the team.


    The first option, Aldridge never thought, whether from the team building or personal emotions, his personal relationship with Ronaldinho also prompted him to never think that Ronaldinho will be sold someday.


    The second option will become the mainstream of many high-end teams in the future. Superstars¡¯ team-building model is commonplace, but the accompanying worry is that superstars will often dominate the team¡¯s trend by one or two people. On the court, there will be a stark contrast to the team''s record. Aldridge has started to train a lot of stars, but he will never give the prestige star a privilege on the field. This is the concept of team building and the purpose of team development. If a star has to have certain privileges, such as not participating in the defense, but only attacking, or arranging goals by himself, other players must serve him around him, then Aldridge¡¯s answer is only one: roll.


    What he is doing now is the third option to restrain Ronaldinho¡¯s freedom. This is not only for the consideration of the team, but also for Ronaldinho¡¯s career. Some talented players must be set up for him. Shackles, giving him a fixed rule to follow, there are many such counterexamples, there is no need to enumerate as many stars as South American players, England¡¯s most talented genius in the past decade, Gascoigne, he has regretted now, why He didn''t go to Manchester United at the beginning. If he was under Ferguson''s discipline, his career should be a different scene, and the impact on his entire life may become very different.


    Millwall triumphantly returned home, and a large number of fans outside the airport greeted their return.


    During this crazy lion''s expedition to Munich, there must be a lot of worries among the fans. After all, they lost last year. Now the result of the first round match came out. Millwall defeated the opponent 3-1. This result made the fans overjoyed. It seems that the team has reached the semi-finals of the Champions League for three consecutive years.


    The following day, Fleet Street sang praises for Millwall.


    "1:0 to 1:3, what happened in one year? ¡·The Times first republished all the speeches when Aldridge encouraged the morale of the team for the first time after the game when the Mill Wall soldiers defeated Munich a year ago. This is the news that was hyped last year. Let the team raise their heads and re-enter the road, and said that the failure was a new starting point, which received a lot of applause from the outside world at that time.


    A team is inevitably unable to avoid failure, or even a period of downturn or sinking, but whether it can be revived, this is one of the important factors to measure the team''s temperament and strength.


    In this year, Millwall was not just talking big words, but was actually showing his promises made at that time.


    A year later, Bayern Munich is still one of Europe¡¯s top strong teams. Millwall is also one of the protagonists on the Champions League stage from a popular perspective, but the difference in strength between the two seems to be much larger than the outside world imagines. Millwall¡¯s huge lead in the Premier League is only considered to be the gap between Millwall and the Premier League. However, when Manchester United, the defending champion in the league who can only mourn in despair, also broke into the quarterfinals of the Champions League At that time, the entire Europe must admit that Millwall is not riding the dust in the Premier League, but is widening the strength gap with the entire European giants.


    There were no leagues on the weekend, and the FA Cup quarter-finals came as scheduled.


    Millwall will face Arsenal at home.


    The day before the game, Aldridge beat the nerves of the bench players as if the generals were reviewing the troops.


    "Recently, the outside world has been extolling Millwall, thinking that we are only as strong as the words "overlord" written on our faces. From the expression of your recent training, I can see that this also makes you feel very proud. However, I think those are all shit, you guys, are too happy to go home and look at the photos to see which one has won in the championship lineup, walk into your honor room and count the number of medals, then you ask yourself : Can you laugh? If you can laugh, would you be an idiot?"


    A cold wind blew through, and these bench players who will play in the FA Cup tomorrow have some goose bumps.


    Summer is coming, but they feel a little cold.


    Think about it carefully, yeah, a smug pride!


    Aldrich recently discovered that the media is a bit weird.


    It is still early in the summer transfer period, but many giants or first-line strong teams have started to gossip with Millwall.


    Especially the Italian team.


    No way, Italy''s traditional traditional top three only AC Milan played in the Champions League this season, and was eliminated in the first stage of the group stage.


    And the other three teams, Palma qualifiers were planted, Florence was out in the second group stage, the only Lazio who reached the quarterfinals was just slaughtered by Valencia 5:2 two days ago.


    The world''s first league?


    Small World Cup?


    In the new millennium, the dominance of Serie A began to waver, which can be seen directly from the results of the European War, which dropped by one gear a year.


    The year before, Juventus'' final tickets were robbed by Millwall.


    Last year, Juventus fell at the foot of Manchester United.


    This year, there is only one of the top 8 Serie A teams, and it will stop the top 8 without accident.


    The decline in the competitiveness of the European War may be related to the serious internal friction in the league, but if the European war stage can not achieve results, the reputation of the world¡¯s first league is really not good enough to rest on its own head. Fortunately, the Serie A team has money now. All are willing to burn money, so digging people is imperative.


    In the football world, Luyin can''t play a club on the field, it can completely defeat this opponent in another way: Dig your people!


    Millwall has become a target, rich, famous, and shameless. Anyway, recently, almost all teams of Millwall have spread scandals with strong teams in the media of different European countries.


    Aldridge is not too worried about the main players. After all, he should be given, but this bench is also taken by others. He is afraid that these fledgling players are really fooled by sugar-coated shells, thinking that they really have the ability Be alone.


    Therefore, he is going to beat these players and wind them up.


    Looking at the benches with their heads in front, Aldridge walked in front of Klose and said softly: "Do you know what I saw?"


    Klose stared left and right, kind of asking for help from others.


    They are already used to Aldridge''s jumping thinking, but they don''t want to be stumped by the problem.


    "Conspiracy. All this is an outside conspiracy. Now, there must be a lot of people waiting to watch a good show. Isn''t Millwall a bull? Isn''t Millwall crazy? Then what if you lose, what will happen? Can I trample you unscrupulously?"


    Aldridge walked past Klose, and the little carpenter finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    "If you become arrogant because of pride, and underestimate your opponents, resulting in defeat, then the outside world, including me, will make fun of you as an idiot, and you will be taken seriously if you say two beautiful words. You are better than a three-year-old kid. Ah! If you don¡¯t want to be a joke, just close my ears and ignore the rumors from the outside world, take every day of training seriously, take out all your fighting spirit to face the next game, and be ready to become a team at any time The main force!"


    As soon as Aldridge''s voice fell, a roar burst from these bench players responded to his instructions.

 Chapter 487： New Arsenal

    As the old saying goes, the New Year and the new weather, the time spanned from 1999 to 2000, this is more than a new year, a new century, a new century!


    At such a historic moment, the Arsenal club also has a historic big move.


    Vice Chairman Dane and head coach Wenger proudly announced: Arsenal is about to build a new stadium!


    Many Gunners fans rushed to celebrate each other, quite a lot of flowers to celebrate the momentum of the popular Daben, after all, Highbury''s capacity makes gun fans who appreciate the "beautiful football" gradually get a ticket.


    I just don¡¯t know how much sadness and tears are hidden behind the pride of Wenger and Dane.


    Arsenal can¡¯t do without building a new stadium or a stadium with a larger capacity. Gradually, Arsenal will fall from the Premier League championship group to the middle reaches. This is not alarmist. As prices rise, stadium tickets also increase. Arsenal Even in London, the ticket income gap between Manchester United and each season is gradually widening. This season, it is conservatively estimated that the gap has been widened by more than 10 million pounds!


    The gap of tens of millions of pounds, and then develop further, may be 20 million pounds, 30 million pounds.


    If there is no new stadium, Arsenal and Manchester United are only the revenue of the stadium tickets, there must be a gap of hundreds of millions of pounds within ten years.


    What can hundreds of millions of pounds bring to the club?


    The most intuitive is competitiveness.


    In view of such a brutal competitive situation, Arsenal''s new stadium plan is imperative.


    Of course, they don''t have to compare with Premier League champion Millwall. They can''t compare it. Millwall has earned a new stadium as a trafficker, and the team not only has a guaranteed record, but can check the new stadium in another month.


    In other words, Arsenal, a traditional giant, has fallen behind Manchester United and Millwall for at least five years.


    Why is it five years?


    Because Millwall''s new stadium started breaking ground almost five years ago.


    Arsenal just announced that it will build a new stadium. The specific stadium design, site selection, sponsors, loans, and other specific businesses are still under preparation. However, their words are better than those of other mid- and downstream club presidents. It¡¯s more reliable.


    Like Chairman Everton said every year to build a new stadium, toffee fans know he is farting.


    Among the Premier League bosses, Aldridge is certainly not the richest. He can¡¯t say too much than he is rich, but there are still a lot of big money. For example, Arsenal¡¯s major shareholders are all richer than him, and even some are Bihuo. The whole family has money.


    But on the plan to build a new stadium, they are all following the most basic principle of operating a business: living within their means.


    This directly led Wenger and Dane to understand that in the next few years, no, and for many years, Arsenal will have to cut down on food and clothing, and open source to cut costs!


    As a result, Wenger sent a bench lineup in the FA Cup quarter-finals as a guest at the Lions Den Stadium.


    There is no way. The war between the 3-6 Premier League players for the last two Champions League places is too fierce. There are 6 rounds left in the league. Wenger must make a choice.


    In the first half of the season, he met Millwall in the League Cup, chose to play against the main force, and eventually eliminated Millwall.


    Then, the league was defeated by Tottenham, the rival of North London. Then, the League Cup did not go to the finish line. Martin O¡¯Neill really created a magic, leading the small city of Leicester to win the 21st century in England. A champion.


    Probably influenced by the lesson in the first half of the season, Wenger simply sent a bench to play today, concentrate on playing in the league, and enter the Champions League to get the benefit of the Champions League, it is more important than anything.


    As the countdown to this season enters the countdown, Millwall¡¯s attendance at any home game is bursting. The FA Cup may be related to the second half of the game. However, in the league, Millwall¡¯s successful defending has almost no suspense, but the fans Still pouring into the stadium on every home game day to support the team, and save the day''s tickets as a souvenir.


    Because Millwall''s first team at the Lion''s Cave Stadium officially played one less game. In the summer, if there is no accident, they will move to the new stadium. Now, it is at the stage of bidding farewell to the Lion''s Cave Stadium.


    In the quarter-finals of the FA Cup with Arsenal, Aldridge and Wenger were sitting on the coach seat, the lion¡¯s stadium shouted loudly, and the fans¡¯ energy was used in singing and shouting. Concerned about the progress of the game, just to be here at the end of the Lion''s Cave Stadium and enjoy the atmosphere here. In the next season, everything will be different.


    In the first half of the game, Millwall basically locked in the victory. The goals of Ramall and Glencharr made the gap between the two teams'' benches more intuitive.


    Wenger is helpless in the game, the main lineup still has many hidden dangers, and the bench lineup is even more embarrassing.


    Look at Millwall''s backup lineup, change the team logo, change the name, it is estimated that he can play the Premier League and enter the middle reaches!


    He turned his head and complained to his assistant: "Why did Millwall have so many good players who don''t need money?"


    Most members of the Arsenal coaching staff chose silence.


    Envy doesn''t come.


    Someone said seriously: "Hall''s insight into talent and the ability to train players are indeed rare in the world."


    "Is there any trick inside?"


    Wenger racked his brains to learn the secrets of Aldridge''s training of players, no, it should be the secret of digging up good seedlings.


    Cultivating players, he believes that he is not under Aldridge.


    The key point is, where to go to cultivate so many good seedlings to cultivate it!


    "This, uh, I did a survey. Players like Nedvide, Glenshare, Solskjaer, etc. in the first team were all excavated from second-tier leagues. Players were discovered by Hall when they did not enter the regular youth training system, such as Villa, Brazilian Ronaldinho, Vicente, Joaquin. There are also some places that are incredible to us, Klose This year, Phillips, who has ranked third in the Premier League scorer list and has scored nearly 30 goals, was discovered by Hall from the amateur league. Some players who have not yet made a name, such as Ribery, Drogba, one Was abandoned by Lille, one was rejected by Paris Saint-Germain, the one who just scored, Lamore, he was also a player who was abandoned by Liverpool, but these were all taken by Hall to Millwall."


    Wenger couldn''t figure it out.


    Amateur league, abandonment of other clubs, gold in second-rate league.


    This Nima, it¡¯s nice to say that it¡¯s Aldrich¡¯s eyes and eyes, it¡¯s hard to say that this man is a wonderful flower that specializes in collecting scrap copper and iron and turning waste into treasure!


    Wenger has been a bit nervous lately.


    I thought about how to improve my hematopoietic ability, but after a couple of months in the youth team, he was a bit discouraged. The processing procedures were fine, but the texture of the material itself was not enough, and the quality was not too bad. ?


    Now you have to spend a small amount of money to do big things.


    The murderous Barcelona recently seduce Ovimas, and even Ovimas himself lamented the team''s two Champions League experiences in the interview, wanting to change the league to meet the challenge.


    Wenger couldn''t sit still, but he didn''t have the strength to keep people. The club could not be indifferent to the transfer fee, but the team''s season was not over yet. The league had to compete for four. There was a rumor that the general was leaving the team first. No, it wasn''t a gossip. It did matter. Peter Pan Ovimas has already expressed his position.


    Arsenal is good, but I can¡¯t wait for the Champions League!


    Wenger is thinking about how to collect more star seedlings, while Aldridge is thinking about how to accelerate the growth of young players on the team.


    Successful teams do not take the initiative to seek change, but they must strengthen the stimulus of internal competition to maintain a high level of competitiveness and even self-improvement through internal competition. AC Milan is a counter-example this season. After winning the championship last season, there is a lack of internal strength. In addition, it is more obvious to lag behind in the league, and Juventus and Lazio were thrown out of the championship group.


    Aldrichto looked into the court with his chin, wondering if he would loan some players to the first-line club for exercise next season.


    Like Klose, Glenshare, you can stay in the team, as long as the main injury occurs, you can immediately go up.


    But players like Vicente, Joaquin Gold and Villa can''t rely on the Cup alone to accumulate enough experience.


    Aldrich¡¯s most feared situation is that it¡¯s easy to go out on loan. After the loan, the players are reluctant to come back.


    Klose scored twice in the second half, Van der Mede staged an assist hat trick, Millwall came off the bench 4-0 and scored a hearty victory.


    However, the live commentator criticized the two teams mercilessly at the end of the game.


    "Millwall, Arsenal, what did the oldest and most influential FA Cup in England do? This is the quarter-finals. Everyone is looking forward to the top match between the two teams. As a result, the two teams have a tacit understanding. He sent a substitute lineup to fight this peak matchup, the peak substitute matchup! The FA should punish these two teams, they lack respect for the FA Cup, lack respect for fans, and lack respect for all spectators!"


    Aldridge certainly did not know what the narrator said. He shook hands with Wenger calmly anyway after the game. Wenger lost the game. It seemed that his mood was not greatly affected, but there should be a lot of losses. , At least his face should show up.


    It¡¯s not that they don¡¯t respect the FA Cup. Before the 1990s, the FA Cup did have more influence than the English Premier League. But in the Premier League era, what is the FA Cup broadcast fee? How much is the bonus? Can I win the Champions League?


    Each team should be more pragmatic. To put it bluntly, it is to keep up with the money. Wherever we make more money, we will focus on it.


    Aldridge was asked about the anger of the speaker after the game, and he looked baffled.


    "I don''t have sleepwalking? Millwall seems to have won the game and advanced to the semi-finals. If we lose the game and hear someone accuse me, I think it''s normal, but if we win the game, will we be scolded? What makes sense?"


    Aldridge scoffed at the unprovoked accusations.


    There is only one truth on the football field: winning is everything.


    Laozi led the team to win the ball, you should give praise, criticism, embarrassment, because Laozi won the ball, so you can not buy it, get out!


    The next day, after the Millwall FA Cup semi-final opponent came out, the fans of the crazy lions cheered.


    The FA Cup is so lucky.


    The opponent in the semifinals is Aston Villa!


    The FA Cup substitute battle ended, and Millwall''s eyes turned back to the European competition.


    In preparing for the second round match with Bayern Munich, Millwall has always been mysterious and declined training interviews, as if to do some secret experiments.


    At the press conference before the Champions League, Aldridge also said that Millwall would strive to end the suspense quickly at home. He talked a lot and said that he was extremely public and confident.


    "We scored one goal at Bayern Munich, Bayern Munich had to score three goals to pull the game back to the starting point! We scored two, Bayern Munich scored four, we scored three..."


    "Cough, Mr. Hall, we all understand what you said."


    The reporters had to interrupt Aldridge who was "declaring war" with physical movements.


    Aldridge paused, then said quietly: "Since you all know, then I have nothing to say, goodbye."

 Chapter 488： Torture

    The Millwall youth team, which swept the youth team''s various fields last season, still performed well on the domestic front this season and was in the leading position. However, when it went to the friendly game with the team, it suffered a fiasco in the last game.


    A year ago, the Millwall youth team swept the Bayern Munich youth team, but the first team was eliminated in Munich. One year later, the first team defeated Bayern Munich 3-1 in Munich, and the Millwall youth team suffered a 1-4 defeat by Bayern. The Munich Youth Team was bloodbathed.


    Since the reform and reorganization of the Bayern Munich youth training system in 1995 to this stage of achievement, Bayern Munich, which has nearly 200 youth seedlings, is establishing cooperative relations with other clubs to form a monopoly.


    The fiasco of the Millwall youth team cannot be regarded as a gap in strength. It is due to the age gap. In friendly games, U19 players can be played. Bayern Munich is almost all 19-year-old players, led by Hargreaves, and Milwaukee. The youth team was led by 16-year-old De Rossi and 15-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo. They suffered a great loss in physical confrontation. During the fiasco, they made these players resentful!


    The Bayern Munich youth team lost last year, and then played again a year later, and it was naturally a shame at their doorstep, so the game became very fierce, eating less two or three meals and fighting against the strength of Milwa It is not wrong for the Seoul Youth Team to lose.


    When Millwall and Bayern Munich played in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals at Wembley, De Rossi and Ronaldo shouted madly on the side of the stands near the coach seat.


    "Head, blood washed Bayern! Blood washed Bayern!"


    The expressions of the two boys were crazy, and the fiasco a week ago made them unwilling.


    The skill is not as good as that of a person who loses, but it is lost in muscle confrontation.


    Before the game, Aldridge declared high-profile to quickly end the suspense of the game. There was a hint of hope in the game that Bayern Munich would be turned into a honeycomb immediately. This made the fans excited. De Rossi and C Ronaldo also came today. Cheer.


    "The second round of the match between Millwall and Bayern Munich is about to start in the Champions League quarter-finals. In the first round, Millwall defeated Bayern Munich 3-1 away and has very optimistic prospects for promotion. This game is against Bayern Munich. It is necessary to break the wreck to be able to survive. Let¡¯s take a look at the starting list of both sides. Bayern Munich changed the formation, played 442 today, removed a center defender Anderson, strengthened the front line, the last goal Hero Ziegler teamed up with Elber. Millwall''s starting lineup, er, is very different from what Hall had declared before the game. They should have formed a 4231 or 451 formation.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.


    Double waist: Makelele, Gattuso.


    Avant-garde: Larson, Pirlo, Nedved.


    Forward: Henry.


    Hall obviously wanted to strengthen the defense and play a defensive counterattack, but before the game, he made a bold statement to use attack to destroy Bayern Munich. It seems that he put a smoke bomb. "


    De Rossi and Ronaldo saw Millwall''s starting lineup, and the two were immediately dumbfounded.


    Whether it is a single midfielder or a double midfielder, whether it focuses on offense or defense, they do not need to have too deep tactical knowledge to understand.


    Can this cleanse Bayern Munich?


    Aldrich''s pre-match smoke bombs were nothing more than disrupting Bayern Munich''s preparations.


    It doesn''t matter if it works, anyway, it''s not tiring to say two lies.


    Heathfield was ridiculed by the young coach.


    Bayern Munich is 1-3 behind, and there is no way out. Will Millwall attack or defend?


    Anyway Bayern Munich has only one way to attack.


    He glanced at Aldridge with his hands in his pockets, and suddenly realized that if Bayern Munich did not have the determination to fight back, he might have strengthened his defense first because of fear of Millwall''s mad attack. In this way, time was spent on Mill. Wall is favorable. It will take time for Bayern Munich to readjust in the match and is more likely to cause confusion.


    Without the cost of disturbing the enemy, why would Aldridge not do it?


    At the beginning of the game, Millwall''s formation contracted, leaving Henry to harass in the midfield, four guards plus double backs and three forwards recovered, Millwall compressed the backcourt space so that no gap could be found.


    Bayern Munich did launch a violent attack as soon as it came up, and the position battle was not effective. Millwall contracted in the second half. Bayern Munich failed 5-9, 6-9, 7-9, and then dared not invest again. troops.


    Millwall didn''t rush to play fast after every successful defense, but moved slowly upward through the midfield, forcing the players attacked by Bayern Munich to quickly return to defense, and then even if Millwall could not play offense, Bayern Munich''s overall formation also dragged on After the backcourt, the offensive was launched again. This strategy led Bayern Munich to almost every position offensive, and could not capture the opportunity and advantage of counterattack.


    Time passed and the physical fitness of the Bayern Munich team up and down was severely tested, and the positional battles were more and more risky. They frequently threatened the ball from the sidelines, but under the strict defense of Millwall, they did not get a decent Chance to complete the shot.


    In the 38th minute of the game, Bayern Munich''s overall offense was overwhelmed, but the ball was cut off in the midfield. After the collision between Effenberg and Makelele, both of them were slightly dizzy. The referee signaled that the game continued, leaving the spot The ball was taken away by Nedved, turned around and launched a counterattack.


    Bayern Munich only has Jeremys and a double center defender in the backcourt. The two full-backs have just pressed and are now turning around and running back. Nedved forwards the ball, Pirlo also runs forward, Lal Sen started quickly on the other side, forming a good four-for-three situation.


    When the ball came to Jeremys''s zone before the penalty area, Nedvide passed the ball to Pirlo, then he rushed directly towards the middle of the penalty area, and Larson also ran inward on the other side. At the same time, Henry, who was originally in the middle of the double centreback, ran to the left.


    Three points, both straight-line impact, in-line and horizontal pull running position, this time Bayern Munich three defensive players can not complete an accurate mark in an instant, especially Jeremys rushed to Pirlo to limit the opponents out Ball case.


    Pirlo took the ball immediately after receiving the ball. The front was very large. His scalpel-like straight plug was inclined from the middle to the left. Kufuor stared at Larson. Link responded to Nedved''s positive impact, but instead was Henry, who initially stared at them, ran out of a huge empty space after pulling.


    Henry received the ball on the left side of the penalty area. With a half-single shot, he pretended to hit the goal and then suddenly dribble two steps across the link and came to the middle of the goal to create a greater shooting angle. Then he didn''t hesitate to kick the ball, and the ball hit the upper right of the goal of Bayern Munich like a cannonball.


    Kahn still judged the right direction at such a close distance, and the palm touched the ball, but the ball was too powerful and even flew into the goal after slight refraction.


    "4:1, Henry''s goal gave Millwall a total score of 4:1 ahead of Bayern Munich! This goal also allowed Henry to surpass Jader in the Champions League scorer list, he now dominates the Champions League scorer list, this The French shooter joined Millwall two years ago, and he recovered for three months. After the injury came back, he was transformed from a winger to a center. After training in the second half of last season, he started a big goal this season. Outbreak! Premier League, Champions League, he ranked first in the scorer list! Coincidentally, Henry''s French compatriot Trezeguet also became a first-rate European shooter under Hall, and Henry''s goal potential under Hall. The outbreak shocked the entire European football community!"


    After scoring, Henry finished kneeling and celebrating in Wembley.


    He slipped out of the sideline, lifted his chin slightly, closed his eyes, he could feel the flash of the camera in front of him, and his ears were filled with cheers from the fans roaring in the stands.


    In Millwall, in the majestic lion formation overlooking Europa, he completed the transformation of the position on the field and completed the transformation of his role.


    He grew into a towering giant tree that became unreachable, turned into a towering high mountain that no one could shake, and turned into a cold blade that was indestructible.


    With open arms, he can own the world.


    With a sharp gaze, the whole Europa shivered.


    World first, world first, how far is it from world first?


    How can you ascend to the throne in the green field?


    Henry turned his head to look at the sidelines and saw Aldridge with his thumbs on the side of the side pointing to the side.


    It was an ambitious young marshal, a man who wanted to lead Millwall to create the prosperous age of the unprecedented dynasty, a man with success labels all over his body.


    Solskjaer, Shevchenko, Trezeguet, Van Nistelrooy...


    Henry''s mind flashed the outstanding strikers who had left Millwall in recent years.


    It seems that no player can reach the height that could be achieved after leaving Millwall, and obtain the honor of being comparable to Millwall.


    His heart began to tremble, he began to doubt, and he became a bottomless pit.


    How easy is it to become the world''s number one?


    If you miss a chance, you will miss it forever.


    Bayern Munich couldn''t beat for a long time. Instead, they worsened and conceded another goal. The overall score of 4:1 made their hopes of turning over even more slim.


    The score in the first half was not rewritten. In the second half, Aldridge took the initiative to replace Larson with Ronaldinho. Today, Larson suffered a minor injury during the first half of the run and insisted on finishing the first half. The game will then end.


    Today''s game was more intense than exciting, and Millwall won the second round without prejudice under the premise of establishing a huge advantage in the first round.


    2: 0!


    In the second half, in a counterattack, Nedvide succeeded in a supplementary shot to expand the score.


    It can be said that Bayern Munich was killed by Millwall under the passive background.


    This way of leaving makes Bayern Munich full of resentment and feels a little humiliated. It seems that Millwall didn''t use any effort to put an end to the second round of the game.


    After the game, many Bayern Munich soldiers attacked Millwall''s tactics.


    Heathfield avoided this question.


    If you lose, you lose. There is nothing to complain about.


    The football game is not only offensive, Millwall just used a "smart" or "treacherous" way to firmly control the game situation, stabilize the defense, 80% offensive rhythm slowed down, consuming Bayern Munich, at the right time Suddenly launched a fatal blow.


    From the side, it can be seen that Millwall is more mature and mature, rather than the most fledgling new molding team, which lacks changes in a rhythm.


    Aldrich praised the whole team after the game, thinking that Millwall''s 5-1 sweep of Bayern Munich is a credit to the players, which is also what they deserve. Now, he will focus on the remaining games.


    Millwall has about ten games left for the rest of the season, and the floating space depends on whether he can reach the finals of the two cups.

 Chapter 489： True nobility

    When the UEFA Champions League list is released, a scene that has never appeared before in the European Champions Cup is presented to the world!


    UEFA Champions League semi-finals:


    Millwall, England.


    Spain, Real Madrid.


    Barcelona, ??Spain.


    Spain, Valencia.


    Three of the top four teams are from the same league!


    This is a grand occasion for the European football in the new millennium and new era.


    This has not been the case before, and because the Champions League has only expanded in the past two years, there have been two or more teams in the same league that have never participated in the Champions League.


    This phenomenon made the Spanish media happy.


    Fleet Street spurred Millwall to kill the encirclement under the encirclement and suppression of La Liga!


    Millwall encountered a powerful blocker in the semifinals: Real Madrid!


    This is another opponent who has a grudge against Millwall. In the final two years ago, it was these two teams that staged the peak match in Europe. Millwall defeated Real Madrid by penalty shootout to win the first in club history. Champions League trophy.


    In the semi-finals, Millwall is still the first to come after the second, to go to Bernabeu to challenge Real Madrid in the first game.


    Aldrich''s work is done step by step, at this moment in the sprint of the whole line, calmness is the first priority.


    On the weekend, Aldridge led his team to welcome his rival Chelsea at home.


    Chelsea have gone high and low this season. The only highlight of the league is Manchester United who has a **** lineup of 5:0 in the first half of the schedule. When they faced Millwall in the first half, they have suffered a three-game losing streak. After giving them a four-game losing streak, until the end of the first half of the match, they won only one game afterwards, which ended in a terrible crash, so Vialli shifted his focus and Chelsea started his best in the cup In the past, the FA Cup entered the semi-finals. The UEFA Cup also advanced to the semi-finals with Arsenal. The London Derby will be played in the semi-finals.


    In the league, they slipped from the first half of the season and have been swaying in the middle and upper positions. Now that they have reached the sprint stage at the end of the season, they are ranked sixth in the league and there are two places behind the Champions League next season.


    At this stage, no matter how turbulent Chelsea is inside, the entire team has returned to peace, the contradictions will be covered up, the anger will be temporarily extinguished, and everything will be resolved after the end of the season a month later.


    Chelsea obviously lacked stamina, especially in the second half of the multi-line battle, and Millwall played almost the same number of games, but by this time, Millwall''s physical advantage is clear on the field.


    After all, Millwall has a strong lineup and is replaced in the FA Cup. It is also appropriate to give the main players a rest in the league. There is not much pressure on the record. On the contrary, Chelsea is competing in every game. The field should not be lost. When the league ends, As a guest, the gap with Millwall is more obvious.


    Viali had nothing to do on the sidelines, Millwall calmly defeated his opponent at the same score over half a season at home.


    3: 0!


    Henry, Ronaldinho and Pirlo scored one goal each.


    At the end of the whole game, Aldridge applauded the fans in the stands. The game at the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium was a game of one game less. Whenever I thought of it, I might not see those faces that I don¡¯t know but who are familiar, from a familiar angle. There will also be a touch of sadness in his heart.


    This is a situation shaped by the traditional history of a club. There are many loyal fans who are not fanatic. Coming to the scene to watch the ball is an essential part of life. They do not participate in passionate celebrations and do not participate in the off-site fans. Season tickets Every season, every home game day, walk into the field, sit in a fixed position to enjoy the game, applaud the team, cheer for the team, but also sad for the team when the team loses.


    Where does Chelsea''s fate go this season? This is not what Aldridge cares about. He shook hands with Viali after the game and turned away.


    Crazy Lions fans are too lazy to ignore Chelsea fans. They hate another team today: Manchester United.


    The **** Manchester United also won.


    There are five rounds left in the Premier League. Millwall leads Manchester United by 12 points. Manchester United seems to be determined to delay the time for Millwall to win the championship.


    Instead, Aldridge is happy about the situation, and winning the title one day later is beneficial to the team.


    The major leagues in Europe have entered the final stage. Serie A is a double team between Lazio and Juventus. The situation in La Liga is stuck. There are 4-6 teams that still retain the hope of winning the championship. Super Laco, Barcelona, ??Valencia, Zaragoza Real Madrid strangled fiercely, but the Premier League was Millwall who had no suspense.


    The eyes of UEFA are focused on Spain.


    In addition to the increasingly fierce competition in the league here, the two semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League will be the first to start here.


    Millwall''s preparation work was well organized. Boas came up with a 30-page opponent analysis data, which seemed to theoretically strip Real Madrid clean. Jenson and Klinsmann scored the player''s status through training observation. The only bad news is that Larson may miss the first Champions League semi-final.


    Although Millwall is claimed to be surrounded by the top three in La Liga, they are still the number one hot spot in terms of winning index.


    At the pre-match press conference, Aldridge quietly expressed fear of Real Madrid''s offense...


    The landscape of Spain is impressive, the Sanctuary of Madrid football: Santiago Bernab¨¦u Stadium.


    Located in the bustling financial district, it is a famous landmark in the capital and even Spain.


    On the way of Millwall''s team to Spain, Aldridge and Boas sat together.


    Boas was worried.


    From the pre-match preparation meeting, Aldridge did not use his opponent''s technical and tactical analysis report.


    Aldridge did not despise his work. The 30-page report, Aldridge read it twice, and at a glance.


    After reading it, he also praised Boas¡¯s work efficiency. However, when finalizing the team¡¯s first round of tactical play and real lineup with Real Madrid, Boas keenly found that he focused on reminding him in the report A few key points, Aldridge did not adopt, or even ignored.


    "Aldrich, is it because we have beaten Real Madrid, so you..."


    Boas spoke half, and then hesitated.


    After all, the man sitting next to him is still his boss.


    Sometimes expressing opinions is one thing, challenging the authority of the boss is the act of smashing the rice bowl.


    He was worried that Aldridge had become arrogant and had no one in his eyes, especially because he had won before, and he did not put Real Madrid in the eye.


    But now Real Madrid and Real Madrid two years ago have undergone tremendous changes, especially the team''s technical and tactical play, formation.


    "You think I despised Real Madrid, right?"


    Aldridge smiled and said what he had not said.


    Boas hesitated for a moment, then nodded.


    "Vilas, you have done a good job, and the technical and tactical recommendations in the report I think are great."


    "that¡­¡­"


    "Listen to me, but this report is in an ordinary state. For example, if you visited Valencia or Inter Milan, I think this is a perfect report, but you are looking at Real Madrid. The report was wrong from the starting point and there was a directional error, so I cannot adopt it."


    Boaz looked shocked and asked, "What kind of error?"


    "You didn''t take Real Madrid''s history into account, did not add Real Madrid''s arrogance to the analysis. Do you know Real Madrid?"


    "I don''t think few people know Real Madrid?"


    Aldridge smiled and shook his head: "In fact, more than 90% of the fans, especially non-Spanish fans, even if they know that Real Madrid is a Spanish giant, they only regard them as Manchester United, Juventus, Barcelona and other clubs. It¡¯s just a giant with the same status, but the fact is that Real Madrid is different, it should be the most special of all the first-class clubs in the world."


    Boas is thoughtful. In fact, the situation of Real Madrid is to the world, just like the most ordinary relationship, if you like it, you like it infinitely. If you don''t like it, there is nothing special.


    No matter how high Real Madrid is in the football world, it is not a Real Madrid fan. If it is objectively evaluated, it will be like that.


    As for the Champions League Champions League, the reputation of the Champions League lover, I am sorry, the age is too long, for the entire European football, Real Madrid has not produced much shock in the contemporary era, especially in the last ten years in the league The limelight is not as good as the rising dream team Barcelona.


    Boas is a Portuguese, and even though it is the most prestigious Latin American country with Real Madrid''s influence, he did not put Real Madrid in a special position when he made his investigation report on Real Madrid.


    "Real Madrid are nobles, born and purebred nobles! Even if Millwall, Manchester United, Juventus, AC Milan and other teams have won more honors, they can''t be nobles like Real Madrid, Vilas, you Understand?"


    Boas seemed to have been slammed into the head, awakening the dreamer with a word. He slapped it on his head with one hand and realized what was the biggest factor he ignored.


    Real Madrid is definitely the most alternative team among all the strong teams in European football.


    The club was born in the financial district. From the first day of the club¡¯s establishment, their supporters, fans, fans, the Madrid aristocracy, the middle class, scholars, and other social groups in the upper middle class, extend beyond the development of the club In the process, the source of funds and the promoter of the increase in influence, they were crowned with noble titles in their swaddling clothes.


    In addition, when Spain was ruled by the dictator, Real Madrid was shaped as an enemy of Catalonia. It was favored by the appearance of the dictator as a target for resolving internal class conflicts, which deepened this image.


    This is very different from other clubs. No matter the now-famous giants or the declining old powerhouses, their clubs rely on the bottom class, the working class, and the blue-collar class during the birth and development process. The beliefs of entertainment or catharsis, such as the development of Juventus club and the Fiat Group¡¯s large number of attracted laborers, are inseparable from the support of the team, forming a backbone of the heritage. As for the Premier League team, let alone At the earliest, most supporters were miners.


    Therefore, the tradition of Premier League fans is to shout. It requires players to struggle on the field, let them vent, and let them show the man''s side. It does not matter whether the game looks good or not. The key is whether the players are soft or **** the field.


    And for those businessmen, scholars, celebrities, and nobles in Madrid, what do they need to vent to support Real Madrid? No, it is simply to enjoy the game, to watch the best game, as the most advanced enjoyment!


    Over time, Real Madrid has formed a unique tradition and style.


    The management of the membership system gives fans members the greatest say, and can dominate the fate of the club, such as supporting who will be the chairman and overthrowing the head coach.


    Fans can call the club directly, they want to watch the best game, but the requirements are very high, must have a champion.


    Therefore, the utilitarian football philosophy cannot survive in Real Madrid. They flutter in white, both elegant and glorious.


    In the Sens era, Real Madrid¡¯s only hero, Capello, who led the team to the league title, still took classes after he won the championship. He left the coach and interpreted this to the extreme.


    Real Madrid may not need a championship coach, but it must be elegant and gorgeous.

 Chapter 490： Im coming

    If an ordinary fan wants his team to play well, what are the specific requirements?


    It is nothing more than scoring and the process of scoring.


    What is the goal?


    attack!


    So when Aldridge saw the Real Madrid standing list in Boaz¡¯s report, he received the most useful information.


    Even Real Blood is a noble color Real Madrid, this rare arrogance is the sword of Damocles hanging above his head.


    On the night of the game, Aldridge deliberately waited for both players to line up in the player channel before entering the field.


    The Madrid Football Sanctuary, Bernab¨¦u Stadium, and high-end facilities make people feel comfortable.


    If Aldrich wants to say any regrets here, it is because of one person: Barak.


    Sending Barak to Real Madrid, he hopes that the Germans will break out of the sky here.


    However, still that question, Real Madrid wants gorgeous, Barak, can only sit on the bench and wait for the opportunity, even if there are occasional wonderful performances in the league, but the game itself is not gorgeous enough, it is enough to make the fans think of him. Dissatisfaction, coupled with Real Madrid buying offensive players every year, I wish to accumulate 5 or 6 forwards, Mo said that Barak has no place in the midfield, Real Madrid itself has almost one pure midfield position left, left to Redondo, who is elegant and elegant.


    Aldrich''s suit and leather bag slowly walked out with one hand, and he swept over the Real Madrid starting players with a smile on the road. He was very determined. At the same time, most Real Madrid players also responded to his eyes seriously.


    Many people showed admiration in their eyes.


    The more the players based on the top giants, the more they can understand the difficulty of winning the championship trophy, Aldrich''s achievement is enough to make them ignore the age and show their sincerity.


    As he walked into the Bernabeu Stadium, which was full of light like daylight, Aldridge stood on the side of the court and raised his chin and smiled.


    In the eyes, there was a shining bright light, and at the foot of it, there was another great stadium.


    As the head coach, he led here for the first time.


    This has become almost an iconic action every time he arrives at a new stadium.


    The surrounding camera lens and the reporter¡¯s camera were all aimed at him.


    "Aldrich Hall, the young man of Millwall! He made another iconic move, standing up and looking up at the stadium, with a confident and charming smile on his face! This is like the British media described As he is, he is Caesar on the football field. He uses action to interpret the famous saying that Henggu passed on. He came, he saw, he conquered!"


    Aldridge has long been rated as the most attractive football coach in the contemporary era. He has poured out the hearts of countless female fans and is also one of the Premier League signature stars.


    Looking far away from Bosque, Aldridge smiled and nodded to each other, then slowly walked towards the visiting team coach.


    Bosque took office in the middle of the season to save the fire, but now he is taking his seat.


    And if Aldridge does not have the identity of the Millwall boss and Real Madrid fans vote for the next coach, there is no doubt that Aldridge is the most suitable for their requirements. He will be the most perfect spokesperson for Real Madrid. Whether it is the coaching level or the personal image, it is a pity that Aldridge has no blessing for Real Madrid''s handsome position.


    Players from both sides entered the stadium and the Champions League theme song sounded.


    "A fierce battle between Mars and the Earth will be staged in Bernabeu today. The two teams that met in the Champions League final two years ago met again. This season, the strongest team in Europe, Millwall, came to Bernabeu to challenge the stars. Real Madrid. Here is the starting lineup of both sides.


    Real Madrid started 532.


    Goalkeeper: Casillas.


    Guards: Salgado, Carranca, Elgra, Campo, Carlos.


    Midfielders: McManaman, Redondo, Raul.


    Forwards: Anelka, Morientes.


    Millwall started with 451.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.


    Midfielders: Makelele, Lampard, Pirlo, Nedved, Ronaldinho.


    Forward: Henry.


    The game will start soon, and we look forward to the two teams giving us a wonderful battle. "


    Just looking at the starting lineup, most of them think that Millwall is mainly anti-offensive and Real Madrid is mainly defensive.


    The fact is transferred, Real Madrid discharged 5 defenders, Elgra served as a scavenger, a big factor is to make up for the lack of Carlos and Salgado assists left behind, one more defender, expand the lateral defensive area, while In the battle of positions, he blocked the penetration of Milwall, who was good at it.


    Millwall today put up a formation that is exactly 4321.


    Makelele and Lampard have double backs, Pirlo is centered, Nedvide and Ronaldinho are not limited in the frontcourt, and the arrow is Henry.


    At the start of the game, Real Madrid mastered the offensive rhythm and entered a picture familiar to Premier League fans recently: siege!


    Real Madrid''s opponent in the quarter-finals was the defending champion Manchester United. Manchester United came here in the first round and was besieged by Real Madrid for more than 20 feet. Bosnic''s poor goalkeeper suddenly possessed his spirit and tried to protect the city.


    Therefore, when Millwall was also caught in the siege of Real Madrid after the opening, Bernabeu''s white fans were not surprised, thinking that this was taken for granted.


    Aldridge took it for granted.


    Look at who Real Madrid got on!


    Anelka, Morientes, Raul, McManaman, and Redondo dispatched in the middle of the attack, over Carlos and Salgado who are almost indistinguishable from the winger.


    Real Madrid live their lives on offense. You let them balance. Will it be a pity for Seedorf to leave in winter? Let them stabilize, hehe, the head coach is applying for layoffs.


    There are such a batch of breakthroughs, breakthroughs, ball control and ball control, and physical and physical players on the court. Real Madrid may not be invincible, but at least the scene cannot be said to be offensive.


    Real Madrid''s offensive is dominant, and it is reasonable that people''s center of gravity is in this part of the attack. Millwall is not determined to fight with each other to score goals, so it is normal to be passive.


    Millwall''s back line was pressed very backward, contracting tightly, and intensive defense was used to block Real Madrid''s offensive.


    Aldridge saw sweat on the side of the court. He thought he would be suppressed by Real Madrid with an attack, but he didn''t expect the scene to be so thrilling.


    Morientes almost broke the header, Carlos'' long shot hit the post through the refraction, Ra¨²l passed Anelka was squandered...


    Resist, as long as you resist this stage, victory is at your fingertips!


    Bosque, a fatherly old man sitting on the sidelines, also sweated out of his head.


    Goals, goals, as long as you can score one immediately, the situation will be completely dominated by Real Madrid!


    Faced with Millwall, the strongest offensive firepower in Europe, Real Madrid actually suppressed its human body at home.


    Bosque couldn''t help it. He wanted to fight back, but Real Madrid''s players had to be able to fight, they had to pull their faces to fight!


    Today, Aldridge, a stinky boy, came out with a defensive formation, and Bosque really wanted to teach him a meal: Real Madrid''s defensive data is so bad, why do you have two lower backs to weaken the attack!


    Yes, Real Madrid''s defensive data is very bad, the top ten teams in La Liga, Real Madrid ranked second in the number of goals conceded!


    Bosque would most like to see Millwall play against Real Madrid. In this way, Real Madrid cannot be said to win steadily, but at least in the offensive link, Real Madrid has local advantages, such as Carlos'' personal play on the wing. Morenster''s height in front of the door, Raul''s stealth kill in the front waist and so on.


    But Millwall played the sign of the first fierce firepower in Europe, but came to the road but played an Italian anti-reaction!


    Four defenders plus four midfielders form a chain defense. If anything worse, there will be a scavenger. Of course, who makes Real Madrid too many offensive players...


    Aldridge was really a bit afraid of Real Madrid.


    He feels that this Real Madrid is a bit of a nerve knife now.


    The performance in the league is obviously ups and downs, and they have not yet ranked in the top four. The number of goals is also less than the other top four teams. Instead, the number of goals conceded is how big the boss is. : 3, but was able to eliminate Manchester United at Old Trafford for two rounds, and it has a strong advantage in the scene.


    This contrast or ups and downs is a bit nerve.


    To put it bluntly, if they attack crazy, you don''t know how to die!


    Reminiscent of the original history this year, Real Madrid won the Champions League, Aldridge really did not dare to play away with Real Madrid in a conventional manner.


    If the opponent''s offense is strong, then limit the opponent''s offense and add a layer of protection to the defense.


    What''s more, such defense is also for the offense, Aldridge is willing to do so.


    Now, just watching Millwall''s defense won''t stand up.


    In the first 20 minutes, Real Madrid had an absolute advantage, but after 20 minutes, their offense became impatient and the pressure was even greater. Millwall players also figured out the opponent''s defensive routines and began to play the power of counterattack .


    In the 23rd minute, Salgado''s pass was cleared by Materazzi''s header. The pop-up ball landed in front of Raul. He had just stopped the ball and Makelele accurately broke his foot, then kicked the ball diagonally Forward.


    Pirlo ran out of space and passed the ball over the top without making adjustments in front of Redondo. Ronaldinho received the ball and there was no one beside him to defend.


    Salgado and Carlos both flew up. McManaman, Raul, Redondo, and the other two strikers are in the second half of Millwall.


    Ronaldinho turned with the ball and there were only three defensive players in front of him.


    The premise of the attack is to play Elgra as a midfielder, as well as double guards Campo and Kalanka.


    In the front court, Ronaldinho took the ball and moved to the side. Elgra chose to move laterally to block him.


    But when Elgra approached Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho passed the ball back, and Lampard who followed up kept the ball and then knocked the ball back to Ronaldinho who was running forward. Opened Elgra and started to drive to the penalty area of ??Real Madrid.


    Henry took the initiative to run to the side from the other side, attracted Campo and also followed. Ronaldinho brought the ball to the penalty area and passed the ball to Henry gently.


    Behind the two central defenders, Henry, after receiving the ball, returned to Ronaldinho. At this time, Ronaldinho just rushed past him and led the ball diagonally into the penalty area.


    Henry seemed to have completed a pick-and-roll cooperation on the basketball court. At that moment, both Karanka and Campo were watching the point of Henry. Ronaldinho circled from left to right and entered the restricted area.


    For the first time, the handsome boy Casillas met Ronaldinho in reality for the first time.


    Thanks to the injury of two senior goalkeepers, Casillas was promoted by Bosque as the first team goalkeeper, and he was shocked.


    Now it is time to test him.


    He chose to abandon the goal and Ronaldinho made a stepping on the bicycle when Casillas rushed out and then took a step to the right. Then he unexpectedly pushed the goal into the corner.


    Although he and Casillas became closer, but he pulled this step horizontally, and the shot was made bigger. The safe push ensured that the ball hit the goal and Casillas fell in a hurry. , The fingertips really touched the ball, but the ball stopped at half a meter away from his fingertips, Casillas watched desperately as Ronaldinho followed two steps and then kicked the ball, the ball was clean and clean Fly into the empty gate.

 Chapter 491： roller coaster

    When Casillas blocked the ball with his palm, the fans of Real Madrid were already cheering, but the next second, Ronaldinho''s supplementary shot sent the ball steadily into the empty goal, as if a heavy punch hit all On the heart of Real Madrid fans!


    Bernabeu suddenly became silent, and then the visiting team fans from afar became the protagonist in the stands. The crazy lion fans were struggling to shout and wave their flags.


    Today, for the visiting team fans, it¡¯s really hard to get a ticket. It¡¯s impossible for all the crazy lion fan organizations to let the main force come to the away game, so they negotiated before the game and let four thousand people from different fan organizations mix together. , Acting in concert, strengthened the prestige of the visiting team.


    The iconic scene of the Lion Roar fans praising the goalkeeper landed on the Bernabeu.


    I saw on the visiting team stand, a row of fans turned their backs, combined to form Ronaldinho''s jersey name: Ronaldinho.


    The following is a brief description: the elves sent by God!


    Ronaldinho gritted his teeth and ran to the side of the court in remorse after scoring. The simplest expression of human emotion appeared on his face: smile.


    In his excited smile, the narrator also cheered and mad at his goal.


    "Ronaldinho! Another gem that Millwall has harvested this season, assists, goals, dexterous and practical excellence, fast speed, he has some of the most prominent qualities of Brazilian players. Now, he is in Bernabeu. A goal was scored, he knocked the door to victory for Millwall, and took a firm step for their final to France. He is the next superstar trained by the Millwall youth training system, which reminds me of Hall When talking about him in an interview a year ago, he was also called by Ronaldo''s name. As a result, the reporters were confused on the spot. Finally, Hall said that Ronaldo of Millwall was not inferior to that alien, but was met by many people at the time. Mocking, now, people don''t have to struggle, his name is Ronaldinho, he is not the second Ronaldo, he is, Ronaldinho!"


    Aldridge''s wild color on the side of the court kept pointing Ronaldinho at the other end of the court. He seemed to be sure of Ronaldinho''s performance, or he was telling the world: remember him!


    What happened to Bosque''s worst fears happened.


    He believes that the attack is the most favorable situation for Real Madrid, and Millwall has used the anti-anti-tactics he least wants to see, but Real Madrid can''t say that there is no chance, but the situation of losing the ball first is extremely passive.


    If Real Madrid can score the first goal first, then he can stabilize the team and go from a crazy offense to a balance. Both players and fans can understand that it is one step away from the finals, and it is the most powerful in Europe. Crazy lion, take it after the lead, of course, if you are ahead and demand to attack, then this is unreasonable.


    But after Real Madrid lost the ball, the remaining time must be attacked, and because the opponent got an away goal, they can¡¯t adjust their posture even if they can draw two consecutively, they still have to attack aggressively and fight for more goals, at least Only two or more goals can be accepted, and even a 2-1 win at home is very unsafe.


    After the game restarted, neither team''s tactics changed.


    Aldridge feels that his heart can be a little more stable. After all, he scored an away goal, leading the total score, and continuing to play anti-anti, there are definitely opportunities.


    However, Real Madrid is really **** amazing this season!


    The domestic battlefield is a mess. The King''s Cup is gone. It is unrealistic to expect three or four teams to lose the league title. However, at the end of the season, they are in a good condition on the European war arena.


    This is probably one of the traits of a strong team. The 8-9 month time span of the league cannot guarantee absolute stability, but it is really a bit unreasonable at the time of the outbreak, and this outbreak is a lot of money for the league, because The league compares to long-distance running, endurance, and stability. Often, this explosion has the greatest impact on the cup.


    Only 6 minutes later, Real Madrid smashed Millwall''s gate with near violence.


    Carlos fired a cold arrow from the long range at the periphery, and the ball was vigorously slammed into the goal of Millwall. Bute was facing the ball, and someone else kicked the corner. It is estimated that most goalkeepers will be stable. Carlos kicked the ball, and the flight trajectory fluctuated. Butt looked at the ball from far to near, and suddenly his pupils shrank, because the ball suddenly changed direction slightly at ten meters in front of the door.


    After receiving it, Bout must not be able to catch it, but Bout hit the ball with both hands.


    Raul outside the penalty area just faced the ball that was popping out. Before the ball came to the ground, the handsome volley volleyed by the foot. Makelele gritted his teeth. If the other party dared to stop the ball, adjust it, he would be able to break it. The ball, but Raul probably also figured out Makelele''s defensive strategy, in the danger zone must fight to play immediately.


    Ra¨²l''s foot volley hit a rebound ball, and the ball went to the inside of the goal post. Butt made a world-class save. He flew to the ground and once again rejected the ball, but can be in the penalty area The ball was followed by Morientes and kicked into the empty goal.


    Carlos and Raul shot twice in succession, leading to chaos in the penalty area. The goal loss made Millwall feel helpless.


    "Morentes made a good shot! Real Madrid quickly equalized the score! Recently, Real Madrid''s status in the Champions League is surprisingly good. If they can also have such performance in the league, they can already leave other competitors far behind. Behind him."


    In the boiling Bernabeu, Boske was slightly relieved. At least the situation on the court no longer developed in a bad direction. It was better to be able to pull back a ball quickly than to fall behind.


    Aldridge waved his hands to prepare the team for the kick-off without having to worry about losing the ball.


    The Carlos long-range missile suddenly broke out. Raul then kept up with a shot that was bound to enter. The continuous two-footed shot made the defense vulnerable, and the man made a mistake. This is normal. Millwall is not afraid of a frontal attack. Two points, after several consecutive attacks, the opponents seized the opportunity, or that no team in the world can guarantee that no one will be missed when they are continuously attacked. After all, defensive players must both mark people and pay attention to the development of the ball. When the ball hits its door, don¡¯t you turn your head and look at it?


    Real Madrid pulled one back and morale was boosted.


    After the kick-off, Real Madrid got up and Carlos almost stopped at the winger position.


    There was no Millwall fixed wing player on his side to threaten his defense.


    Pirlo was aware of this phenomenon, and after an attack from the defender, he voluntarily ran forward to the right field. Nedved drove forward from the left side of the midfield, and Elgra stepped back. When approaching the penalty area, He used to defend Nedved, and at this time Nedved passed the ball to the right. Pirlo got the ball and took a long shot from the right in front of the penalty area. He had plenty of time to adjust. Ronaldinho and Henry gave He made a screen so that he did not encounter a defensive **** from the centre-back.


    Redondo''s back defense was originally running towards the middle of the road. After Pirlo took the ball, he quickly ran towards Pirlo, but he was still a step slower. After Pirlo''s long shot from the dead end of the goal was shot, Redondo only Came to Pirlo''s side.


    Casillas flew to the extreme, but the palm and the upper left corner of the goal were a diametric distance away from the ball, unwilling to watch the ball sneak into the goal.


    "Wow! Real Madrid paid a price for their mad attack. Unmarked Pirlo blasted the perfect world wave. He defeated Casillas, defeated Real Madrid, and now Millwall is on the road. With a 2-1 lead over Real Madrid, the game only took 39 minutes. What kind of situation will this game develop towards? Real Madrid has no retreat anyway. 0:1 and 1:2. The situation is different!"


    Pirlo ran to the sidelines to hug and celebrate with his teammates, and Gattuso, who sprang from the bench, grabbed him first.


    Aldridge held up his fists in excitement and danced with excitement, leading the total score, two away goals, the situation is very good.


    But his excitement lasted only three minutes. In the 43rd minute of the first half, Real Madrid equalized the score again with a corner kick.


    This corner kick, Real Madrid played extremely bad quality, directly flew to the penalty area, Zambrotta header, but the ball from the clearance fell to McManaman''s feet, he passed at 45 degrees Assist Raul nodded behind the goal to break the goal.


    "Bernau¡¯s Golden Boy Raul changed the score to 2:2. Real Madrid showed strong willpower and determination. They will not let Millwall easily take the victory here, but now this score is against Real Madrid. It is still very unfavorable."


    Bosque''s mood today is similar to that of the Bernabeu fans: a roller coaster!


    Throw one, enter one, throw one, enter one.


    It seems that Real Madrid hasn''t lost anything, but here is Bernabeu, after all, at home of Real Madrid, 0:0 and 2:2, how big is the gap?


    This makes Real Madrid''s situation more difficult.


    Entering the halftime, Bosque has nothing to adjust and must attack!


    And can only attack.


    He was worried that if Aldridge changed tactics in the second half, such as increasing the offensive strength, if Real Madrid''s offensive strength declines, it will in turn be passive.


    The two coaches were fighting wisely outside the court.


    In fact, it is to see if you can guess the opponent''s tactical intentions.


    Bosque didn''t dare to change. He wanted to make up for the loophole in Real Madrid''s attack and the emptiness of the backcourt was attacked.


    In the second half, there was no change in the scene.


    Millwall is still fighting back, and Real Madrid is still on the offensive.


    Aldridge is now in a much more relaxed position than Bosque. The score is a draw, but has the advantage of being a guest. At the same time, anti-defense also proves that Millwall can score. The number of offenses is less than Real Madrid, but the offensive threat is more deadly. .


    He didn''t need to change anything, because no matter how Real Madrid changed, Millwall would not fall into passive, after all, Real Madrid could not resist the counterattack of the crazy lion.


    But there are more detailed requirements for players, that is to limit Real Madrid''s two-point attack, try to avoid giving the opponent a second attack, three offense opportunities.


    The chance of being caught by the opponent after the goalkeeper saves or the ball hits the player is sometimes nothing to say, but like Zambrotta header clearance to give McManaman the chance to make a threat in the second pass, try to avoid giving it as much as possible. Opponents can even kick the ball aimlessly to the frontcourt, so that even if Real Madrid reorganizes the offensive, it will also be launched from the backcourt, allowing Millwall sufficient time to rearrange the tight defense.


    In the second half, the two sides changed sides and played again. Aldridge''s team took the lead for the time being, but he still stood on the sidelines to monitor the war. Especially after the intermission, he needed to observe Real Madrid''s posture in the second half. Make judgments and adjustments.

 Chapter 492： Noble

    At halftime, Aldridge''s request to the players was only a countermeasure.


    But in the second half, Millwall''s seemingly blind big-footed clearance, but produced a strange effect.


    This kind of miracle is not a big foot for the defender, Henry became a single-handed as soon as he got the ball in the frontcourt. In that case, Real Madrid could not reach the semi-finals.


    After scoring the ball three times in a row and reorganizing the offensive after being controlled by Real Madrid, Aldridge observed the whole process on the sidelines and then found a message that surprised him.


    After Real Madrid reorganized the attack from the backcourt, it suddenly became difficult, and the attack could not be smooth!


    Aldridge instantly understood the mystery inside.


    During the positional offensive, Real Madrid players, double forwards Anelka, Morientes, false forwards Raul, McManaman, these four are forward, they are often in the restricted area of ??the dangerous zone activities, Carlos and Salgado also assisted. Redondo organized or responded in the middle. In a wave of forward positional offensives, due to the large number of Real Madrid offenses, they have many response points and can Let the offensive move forward smoothly.


    The key link is the final blow, which was destroyed by Millwall''s offensive in the penalty area. Then, Millwall''s defensive player made a big clearance and the ball flew to Real Madrid''s backcourt.


    Elgra is a midfielder when Real Madrid attacks, generally he can grab the landing point, control the ball and reorganize the attack forward.


    At this time, Real Madrid''s problem appeared!


    Those players who have already run to the forefront, if they can''t be withdrawn together to serve as a connection point and play a series of offenses, then Real Madrid''s offense will be out of touch.


    The reason for this phenomenon is also very important, that is, Millwall players'' ability to run without the ball, defensive tactical awareness and discipline, they immediately re-armed after the defensive player cleared the ball, and the player quickly returned to the position Go to the area where you are responsible, form a joint defense with your teammates, layer by layer, cut Real Madrid''s offensive formation, and then completely stare Real Madrid players who have not withdrawn to respond.


    This is the problem that Aldridge tirelessly instills in his players on the concealment of offensive points, and an important manifestation of his awareness of running without the ball and receiving the ball during training.


    The first offensive threat of Real Madrid''s frontal attack is the unpredictability of the player''s running position when he advances from the middle and backcourt to the frontcourt. In a static defense, completely freeze an opponent whose full-speed sprint may change direction on the running route.


    But after the first wave of offensive was contained, the Real Madrid offensive players did not immediately withdraw and re-completed the "back to front" offensive offensive, they fell into the chain defense network woven by Millwall and attacked I fell into the mire.


    In the 58th minute, Real Madrid once again reorganized the offensive from the backcourt, Redondo returned to the midfield to respond, Ronaldinho was harassing him, so he chose to pass to Raul, but this shot has been completely eliminated by Millwall players Predicted that Pirlo halfway out to stop the ball, Millwall then launched a quick counterattack on the spot.


    Pirlo, Nedved, Lampard, Ronaldinho, after four passes, the ball came to Ronaldinho''s feet, at this time he had already reached Real Madrid''s penalty zone, he then did with Nedved After a two-on-one match, the ball was brought to the bottom, and the ball was pushed down to the penalty spot in the triangle penalty area before the bottom line.


    Henry pressed back and forth and pulled back suddenly, waiting for Ronaldinho''s foot pass. In front of Campo, Henry took the ball and calmly smashed the ball to shake the other side. Campo lost his center of gravity. Henry and the first half Ronaldinho''s first goal shooting position is almost the same, but he is more decisive than Ronaldinho, did not shake the goalkeeper, directly kicked.


    Casillas only heard a cry in his ear, and the ball rushed into the goal from the side of his head.


    "2:3, Henry scored a goal, and the shooter opened the gap with Raul again in the Champions League. He scored one more goal than Raul! Real Madrid''s goal drop came from Redondo. Passing mistakes, and we also saw the tacit understanding of Millwall''s offensive players in counterattacks. Only such tacit understanding can play such a smooth, fast and efficient team cooperation! What should Real Madrid do? Bernabeu has fallen into silence, no Young fans shook their heads in the stands and couldn¡¯t understand the team¡¯s performance. Why did they fail to score in the second half and instead conceded a goal!¡±


    When Henry and his teammates celebrated on the sidelines, the live footage captured Aldridge grabbing a Millwall substitute and raised his ears on the player.


    "Strange, Hall''s team has just led Real Madrid again, but he is preparing to change to a striker. Isn''t he still thinking that the 3:2 advantage is not enough?"


    Kroze was the one who was pulled by Aldrich and arranged for the next task.


    When Aldridge discovered Real Madrid''s weakness in organizing the attack from back to front, he immediately asked Klose to warm up.


    This has nothing to do with whether Henry scored or not. It can only be said that Henry''s goal time coincides with the time when Aldridge prepares to replace him, about 60 minutes.


    Real Madrid fans in the Bernabeu watched Aldridge incredulously walk to the sidelines to watch substitute Klose play.


    Last striker, remove a midfielder!


    Real Madrid fans have not seen opponents substitute, but came to Bernabeu to lead the score, but continued to strengthen the offensive and weaken the defense, it is very rare.


    Henry''s goal pushed Real Madrid into desperation. At the same time, Aldridge''s substitution also pushed Bosque to the edge of the cliff.


    Check it out.


    Millwall added a forward and withdrew a midfielder.


    What about Real Madrid?


    In the event of a goal, Bosque dared not move.


    At least in theory, Millwall is missing a midfielder, so Real Madrid''s defensive pressure on offense will be reduced.


    If Bosque wants to move, then he can only maintain enough offensive pressure on substitutions.


    The player replaced by Klose was Lampard. Aldridge severely clapped his hands with Lampard on the sidelines and was very satisfied with the teenager''s performance today.


    Lampard himself blamed himself a little bit. He felt that he was still not stable enough on the court. He was full of energy. Sometimes he ran around blindly. He didn¡¯t use his strength in the right place. The team¡¯s first goal was conceded. Lose had long-range interference, and did not assist Makelele to block Raul, which made him realize that he still had many shortcomings.


    Klose came on the field, Aldridge made a few gestures on the sidelines, Real Madrid has not yet kicked off, the players can calm down to understand Aldridge''s adjustment.


    The mad lion changes.


    From 4321 to 4231, or 433.


    Makelele and Pirlo had a pair of midfielders, one interception and one postponement.


    Nedved is a midfielder, but because he is a perpetual midfielder, he can''t run dead, B2B is completely okay, so he actually has no specific position. The key is where he appears when the offense and defense need him.


    Ronaldinho left, Klose center, Henry right.


    At this moment in the game, Real Madrid must break through!


    However, due to problems with their formation and player''s personal activity area, even if Millwall withdrew a midfielder, at least the defense in the middle was not a problem, and from this moment on, Aldridge was going to take the game from Real Madrid. Dominating, he wants to let Millwall take control of the situation and take the lead in the Bernabeu!


    Now the situation is very different from the opening scene, especially the mentality of Real Madrid players has undergone tremendous changes, the numbers on the scoreboard are like nightmares lingering in their minds.


    Real Madrid launched an attack immediately after kick-off. The wing is their world. After all, their wing players are capable. This is a fact, but the hidden concern of the relatively empty center is the biggest flaw in their defense.


    Then Real Madrid''s attack showed a regular picture.


    They can push the offensive to the two wings of Millwall''s penalty area. Then, whether it is through penetration, personal breakthrough, or passing the ball, the threat they can play is very limited. Millwall compresses the defensive area and does not give the opponent space. .


    After Millwall successfully defended, he immediately formed a huge oppression advantage in the midfield.


    The key figure at this time became Makelele.


    When Real Madrid turns from attack to defense, the offensive players in the frontcourt will immediately limit Pirlo and stifle the most offensive creativity in Millwall''s midfield.


    But Makelele¡¯s technical ability is not a pure defensive player. He just because he did his job well, and because his opponents despised Pirlo at the stage of Pirlo¡¯s rise, Pirlo has a lot of freedom to play. Makelele naturally The light of Pirlo''s offensive talent was obscured.


    When Real Madrid players surrounded Pirlo like a pack of wolves, Makelele stood out. Pirlo wisely made cover for Makelele through the running position, making Makelele a key link in the front and back.


    When the ball came from the backcourt to the frontcourt, Millwall''s offensive advantage was at a glance.


    Klose is also playing with tactical instructions and tasks. In the center position, what he needs to do is to respond!


    He gave Henry a cover to remove the winger. This is not a conventional tactic and requirement, but Klose must do so under today''s special circumstances.


    Because Henry''s advantage is too large, when Carlos assists up and down, Henry is completely free on the right.


    In the 76th minute, Millwall''s offensive twists and turns, Ronaldinho replicated the process of scoring in the first half. After cutting in the middle, he cut the wall in front of Klose and then entered the penalty area, but this time his shot was stuck. Silas turned away.


    Keeping up with Nedved, another long shot was blocked by Kalanka with his body.


    At this time, Real Madrid''s offensive player had withdrawn from the frontcourt and found that the team''s defense was successful. Elgra passed the ball forward, so everyone started running forward and interspersed. As a result, the ball was put on the mark by McManaman. Leila broke off, and the latter went straight to Nedved.


    Nedvide got the ball and turned, glanced at the situation in the frontcourt, and passed directly to the pass from the right side of the penalty area.


    Carlos ran up again, and Henry was three meters away from him, but Carlos had to stop and return to chase, which was obviously impossible to catch Henry without the ball to start the sprint before him.


    Henry cut the ball from the right and took a low shot at the far corner of the goal. Casillas fell a step slower, looking at the ball flying from the right hand to the goal.


    The audience on the spot saw it clearly. This ball cannot be scored!


    Henry''s angle is not tricky enough.


    However, when the ball slipped behind the goal, someone happened to rush to the ball and put the ball into the empty goal.


    "Ronaldinho scored twice! He scored twice at Bernab¨¦u! 2:4, Real Madrid fell behind Millwall by two goals, Millwall played more tactically targeted in the second half, which allowed them to shoot The number of times and the number of threatening offenses have far surpassed Real Madrid in the past 15 minutes, and Ronaldinho has turned their advantage into a victory! If the match is finished with this score, Millwall will step in with one foot The Champions League final!"

 Chapter 493： Red card

    "Boss, come and dance with me!"


    Ronaldinho, who scored twice, came to the coach of the visiting team and invited Aldridge to join him in a samba dance.


    Aldridge laughed and pushed his head, but naturally refused.


    The players who rushed from the bench, plus the players on the field, surrounded Ronaldinho in the center. Under the watch of the audience at the Bernabeu, Ronaldinho danced an iconic samba dance on this stadium to celebrate the progress. ball.


    This is not a humiliation for Real Madrid, it is just a different way to celebrate after scoring a goal. Some players use roar and some use POSE. When Ronaldinho kicks Hi, he uses dancing to express the happiness in his heart. come out.


    Millwall lacks South American players, or fewer black players, so the majority of European players are not as talented as Ronaldinho in terms of rhythm and rhythm. When Ronaldinho jumps from Samba, other teammates are watching with a smile. Although they did not participate in Ronaldinho¡¯s dance, they could feel the joy brought by this Brazilian guy, especially with the passion after the goal. This happiness gave everyone a unique sense of achievement, as if they were victorious and Achievements are full of poetry.


    After Ronaldinho¡¯s celebration, Aldridge clapped his palms to warn the players not to relax, there are more than ten minutes in the game, the most basic requirement is not to lose the ball!


    4:2!


    If the score ends the first round, in the next round in London, Aldridge has absolute confidence to lead Millwall into the Champions League final this season. As for who the opponent will be, no matter who he is!


    Bosque finally made a change.


    He used substitutions to adjust the formation and change the style of play.


    He didn¡¯t adjust at 2:3 because Aldridge was the first to adjust, which apparently weakened the midfield defense. In fact, he used the offensive instead of defensive. After dominating the midfield control, he used the offensive to suppress Real Madrid and force them to disconnect. , Which led to a passing error, Millwall was moved to the next city.


    Bosque replaced Anelka, which lacked highlights in the game, with Barak to strengthen the control of the middle road, while allowing Elgra to be fixed in the lower back position. In this way, Elgra, Redondo, Pakistan Lack, suppressing Millwall''s Makelele, Pirlo, Nedved.


    After Ballack came on the court, the capable German gave Real Madrid an immediate effect. At least in the midfield, Millwall''s defensive pressure and resistance to attack were greatly improved, and Barack was tough. The ability of confrontation makes his physical ability not as good as his Nedved, Pirlo, must avoid his defensive impact when attacking.


    "Real Madrid now seems to have controlled the situation on the court again, and the offensive has renewed its vitality. With the help of Barak, Redondo can not only stabilize the defense, but also play stability during the offensive and deliver shells to the forward players. , Bosque should have played like this. Although Redondo was very good, he was the only one to start in the middle of the midfield. He wanted him to defend and attack, and he was at a disadvantage against Millwall. This is normal. ."


    The narrator started the post-mortem.


    Perhaps many Real Madrid fans on the scene also think so, it seems that Real Madrid is playing the right football.


    If Real Madrid eventually loses the game, Bosque will definitely be questioned, but there is no if on the football field, only the result.


    There is only one truth: winning is everything.


    If you lose, you will be criticized regardless of the preparations before the game and how the adjustments were made during the game. This is the football world, the losers, and even the defense will be a crime.


    Aldridge has already allowed Gattuso and Glenchard to warm up.


    But as he prepared to use substitutions to deal with the new situation, the game changed in the 84th minute.


    Barak took the ball to break through Pirlo''s defense. Pirlo''s physical fitness began to decline and could not stop the Germans'' impact. Barak handed the ball to Raul on the line before the penalty area.


    As the opponent withdrew a striker, as long as a few Real Madrid players suddenly entered the penalty area from the sidelines during a certain offensive period, Millwall''s defensive number is not in the disadvantage, and Real Madrid also fears Millwall''s counterattack. Los came with an assist, but Salgado stayed in the backcourt in preparation for Ronaldinho''s impact.


    Therefore, Raul has Marklele on the side of defense, personally defensive!


    Southgate stared closely at Barak''s route, Morantes was stared to death by Materazzi, and McManaman was blocked by Zambrotta for the inward route.


    Raul knew that Makelele had a strong steal ability, so he played a trick at the moment he touched the ball and directly picked up the ball with his toes to bring it into the penalty area. He wanted to suddenly get rid of Makele without stopping the ball. Lay''s defense.


    Others rushed into the penalty area, but the ball did not pass. The ball was picked up and hit Makelele''s body. Raul froze for a second and immediately raised his hand to the referee to signal Makelele''s handball foul!


    The referee''s whistle sounded at the same time, making Maclele a foul for handball.


    Indeed, the ball hit Maklele''s arm, and Maklele''s arm slightly moved away from the body, but did not take the initiative to open it.


    Aldridge saw the penalty on the sidelines and was only slightly nervous and frowned.


    The opponent was given a set ball, which appeared to be on the line of the big penalty area.


    But his expression suddenly changed.


    "The referee gave a penalty! Penalty! The referee thinks that the position of Makelele''s handball foul is in the penalty area! Let''s take a look at the slow-motion playback now, er, this ball is difficult to define, we can clearly Seeing that Makelele happens to be stepping on the line of the big penalty area, so his handball may be inside the penalty area or outside the penalty area. We don¡¯t have a better angle of playback. This ball is like a few centimetres. The penalty for offside is the same, and the referee settled the penalty and awarded Real Madrid a penalty!"


    Even the Real Madrid players froze for a second, and then clenched their fists to show a firm look.


    Raul was the closest to the incident. He subconsciously reminded the referee Makelele of handball and did not notice whether it was inside or outside the penalty area.


    Aldrich was so far away that it was naturally impossible to determine whether it was a penalty, but he still went to the fourth official and solemnly said: "My player is not a handball intentionally, it is a ball hitter, and it is not obvious, he did not The active intention of the foul, in such a sensitive area, the referee can give a free kick on a penalty area line. We can accept it calmly, but can take a penalty. Does your referee group want to be the focus? Do you want to make a headline?"


    The fourth officer turned his head to cover his mouth solemnly to explain to Aldridge.


    Now Aldridge is not an unnamed junior, not a person who used to be directly ignored in communicating with the referee on the European war field. If he slammed a referee at a press conference, even if he will be punished, but the reputation of the referee Will definitely suffer negative effects.


    And there is nothing excessive about Aldridge¡¯s words. If there is no dispute, absolutely within the penalty zone, Millwall will recognize it, but in a sensitive and controversial area, he will be awarded a foul and then given a penalty. It really doesn''t make sense!


    The fourth official had not explained two sentences to Aldridge, but there was a scene that made Aldridge headache.


    After being fouled, Makelele held the ball and appealed to the referee. Once again, twice, three times and four times, he reiterated that the ball hit his arm. He thought his arm was close to his body, no Should be a foul, he did not expand the defensive area.


    Not only did the referee ignore him, but he also awarded a penalty, and Markley Lei suddenly became furious.


    At this time, if Real Madrid got a penalty and scored, it was really hard to say in the last few minutes of the game.


    The referee ignored his complaint, and Makelele angrily smashed the ball in his hand on the ground.


    The referee was in front of him. The ball bouncing on the ground flew in front of the referee, startled him. Then, the expression of the referee also changed, suddenly angry.


    Suddenly, Southgate rushed up to reach out and gently reached down to hold the referee''s hand in his pocket, and began to plead for Makelele, telling the referee that the move was not directed against him, but the player was under pressure Under the vent.


    Materazzi also stepped up and pulled off Makelele, and Makelele had already exploded, loudly attacking the referee''s penalty, the posture was like a small volcano.


    Even Real Madrid players came to persuade Makelele, Raul and Elgra to make Makelele calm down as much as possible. This was admired by Millwall players. Elgra may have played for Millwall only, Former teammate with Makelele, Raul, showed a kind of court style.


    They could just watch the sidelines and watch the Makelele erupt, or fan the flames to make the situation worse, but surrounded by Raul, Elgra, Nedved, and Materazzi, all around. Makelele finally calmed down.


    But Southgate''s pleading work for Makelele on the other side had no effect. The referee still showed Makelele a red card firmly.


    Makelele turned away without expression.


    After the referee showed the red card, Southgate applauded the referee and then gave a thumbs up.


    The referee showed Southgate another yellow card.


    Southgate didn''t care, turned around and faced the visiting team''s stand with less than five thousand Lion fans waving their arms up and down, and Bernab¨¦u''s singing echoed in an instant.


    "No one likes us, it doesn''t matter!"


    The mad lion¡¯s team song came from the Bernabeu¡¯s stand and broke through the sky...


    When Makelele walked to the sidelines, the referee team staff was already prepared to supervise his departure, but he stopped and lowered his head.


    He couldn''t face the man on the sidelines.


    Coming to Bernabeu, his boss did all he could to help the team get a good 4:2 situation, but he failed to help the team at the last moment, making the game full of variables.


    He was sent off with a red card and will be suspended next time. How much impact will it have on the team?


    Last year fell to the semi-finals. This year, Makelele did not want to have any regrets, but he was afraid that his red card would become the creator of regret.


    His shoulders were gently patted, and soft words came from his ears.


    "Today''s performance is good, Claude, go back to the locker room, take a shower and wait for us, then go home together."


    Makelele''s head was still not raised, but he took steps to pass Aldridge.


    The fourth official came over and asked, "Would you like to change?"


    It is not known whether the fourth official reminded Aldridge out of consolation.


    Substitution, of course.


    However, definitely not now.


    Aldridge didn''t go to the penalty spot and turned to the coach seat. As he walked, Bernab¨¦u cheered. Raul''s penalty kick came and the score became 3:4.


    Aldrich first let Gattuso complete the substitutions, and then let Glenshire return to the bench.


    When Makelele was sent off with a red card, Klinsmann asked all the substitutes to warm up except the goalkeeper. At this time, Audridge called Neal to the front and began to assign him the task after the game.


    Before Millwall restarted the game, Gattuso played and replaced Ronaldinho.


    Ronaldinho also understood the intention of substitution at this time, so he walked slowly from the other side of the court to the side of the court. The referee urged forward. Ronaldinho ignored the opponent and didn''t hear anything.


    Yeah, you **** give me a card!


    The head referee really dare not draw any more cards.


    The substitution was delayed for more than 20 seconds, and Gattuso took over the position of Makelele after playing.


    After a minute, Millwall replaced again, using the last spot.


    Neal comes on and Pirlo comes off.


    Nedved retreated, Klose retreated, Millwall changed to 4311, and the whole team contracted to defend in the second half.

 Chapter 494： An enemy

    Bernab¨¦u¡¯s Real Madrid fans expect the team to perform a miracle, equalizing at least 5 minutes in stoppage time.


    Real Madrid made an absolute suppression of Millwall due to the superior number, and Elgra, the guard with the knife, was also killed.


    Aldrich gave him a clear defensive mission before sending Neal.


    Observe calmly and judge the defensive situation.


    If Real Madrid controls the periphery, Neil is defensive midfielder, if Real Madrid presses the restricted area, Neil will drag back to be a scavenger.


    Neil performs Aldridge''s tactical requirements very well. Under strong pressure, the passive defender must have a flexible defensive role. Those players who have been fighting on the field for nearly 90 minutes are more or less lacking due to inertia. The ability and courage to adapt to the emergency is the normal choice to stick to the responsibilities, but in this case, the most need is the players who dare to be flexible.


    Morientes found an opportunity in the penalty area, but in a hurry, the shot missed and shocked Millwall''s cold sweat.


    Bout placed the ball on the line of the small penalty area and looked at the situation ahead. Real Madrid players formed a forward pressure and almost used man-to-man tactics to defend.


    Unable to find a stable point of delivery, Bout ink for more than ten seconds before kicking the ball to the frontcourt.


    The audience held their breath, and the time has come to the penultimate minute of stoppage time.


    Aldridge stood on the sidelines with a dignified expression. At this time, it was difficult to say that he could definitely defend Real Madrid, especially when Real Madrid''s offense rushed into the Millwall penalty area. He was not afraid of a frontal attack and was afraid of being in such a fast pace. In the event of confusion, the ball is lost.


    Carlos made a cross on the wing. The quality of the cross was very general. Perhaps it was related to his physical decline and mental stress. Materazzi stood at the landing point and shook his head to clear the ball. At this time, he must exert his strength. It is possible to keep the ball away from the restricted area.


    The freed ball flew towards the middle zone after Nedved''s header.


    Henry grabbed the landing spot there, turned the ball and immediately started to attack forward.


    Real Madrid fans saw this scene, and they were screamed: right?


    1VS2!


    Real Madrid only have Kalanka and Campo in the backcourt.


    Henry had no choice, he had to take the ball forward, and none of Real Madrid''s players in the frontcourt ran back to defend.


    If Millwall could have one or two players running at high speed to support Henry at this time, this attack would be very threatening.


    But Nedv¨§d didn¡¯t move, nor did Klose, who was full of energy. If they played 11, they would definitely rush up, but they didn¡¯t dare to step forward when they saw that the Real Madrid players around didn¡¯t retreat to defend. After losing the defensive position, if they are hit back and the ball is lost, they really have no time.


    Kalanka and Campo have two defenses and one defense, but there is a lot of free time in the field, but Henry is just a single man, and he rides alone. Karanka follows Henry and slows down Henry''s rhythm. Campo guards the key position behind him, Karan It doesn''t matter if Ka Wan is broken, he is making up.


    Seeing the defensive strategies of these two men, Henry felt helpless.


    His physical fitness is already at the end of the crossbow, and at most one more short-range outbreak. If Kalanka and Campo are in parallel positions or rush to grab him, he will have a good chance to break through their defense.


    But the opponent didn''t give him a chance at all. Henry was slowed down by Karanka and gradually deviated from the track towards the goal of Real Madrid. He made a choice, suddenly accelerated, and used his last energy to complete a speed increase.


    Karanka and Campo saw Henry''s intention to accelerate the dribbling.


    He took the ball to the bottom corner.


    Now the two of you are welcome, and rushed directly to rob Henry.


    Henry noticed that the two had come to fight. He stepped on the football at the top corner, and then turned around. It happened that Karanka rushed up. Henry made a forward leaning action for the breakthrough and slightly picked up the ball.


    Karanka rushed up and hit the ball directly out of the bottom line.


    Henry couldn''t make a breakthrough at all, he just pretended to make a breakthrough and let Kalanka help him get a set ball to delay the time.


    "The whole game entered the last minute of injury stoppage time, Millwall got a corner kick, we saw a very strange sight, no one went to kick the corner! Oh, it turned out that Klose went to kick the corner. The trotting trot went to the corner area. Real Madrid players complained that the opponent was delaying the time. The referee ran to Klose and showed him a yellow card. Klose was in theory with the referee. Hehe, this can not be consumed. Less time."


    When Klose backed a corner with a yellow card, there was only 15 seconds left.


    Henry walked from the penalty area to the corner area again, and stood in front of Klose. After Salgado rushed up, Henry extended a hand to signal Klose not to kick the ball. He turned to the referee to show his hand. The distance of Salgado.


    When Klose passed the ball to Henry, the injury stoppage time had passed.


    Henry took the ball and turned to protect the ball at the bottom line. Salgado and Kalanka came to grab. He pulled the ball back and then suddenly closed the foot. Salgado''s extended foot poke the ball out of the bottom line. Millwall continued to take corners.


    The head referee blew the whistle at the end of the game.


    Bernabeu booed, wondering whether it was Boo Millwall''s final time delay or Boo Noble Real Madrid lost this crucial battle at home, perhaps, both.


    "After a 90-minute fierce battle, the first round of the Champions League quarter-final ended in the Bernabeu battle. Real Madrid lost 3:4 at home to Millwall from the Premier League. This result is definitely for Millwall. Wonderful, they never lost in the European War in London. In fact, in the past four years, they have only lost one in the European battlefield, the score is 1:0, so even if Real Madrid can beat Millwall in the away round, If they can¡¯t make a difference of more than three goals, they will also be eliminated. However, Real Madrid last defeated Manchester United at 3:2 away and eliminated their opponents. The next round they will go to London. They are not without opportunities."


    Millwall players waved their fists in excitement.


    This score is very beneficial for them to advance to the Champions League final.


    Real Madrid players have a grim expression, a cruel score, and a grim situation. They still have a chance, but they can start from reason and hope is very slim.


    Aldridge went straight to shake hands with Bosque after the whistle sounded at the end of the game, and then quickly walked into the player channel without looking back, even if a group of reporters and cameras were following him.


    Everyone seems to want to see how proud the young coach will show at the end of the game, and how arrogant and frivolous at the Bernabeu stadium.


    But the game is not over, at least Aldrich thinks so.


    In the 180-minute game, Millwall won the first half and nothing more.


    This is not a group match, but a knockout, the Champions League semi-finals!


    Premature complacency and relaxation will only plant the seeds of unrest.


    He returned to the locker room and exchanged a few words with Makelele. At this time, Makelele had completely calmed down. After the team returned to the locker room, he stood up and apologized to all his teammates.


    Everyone didn''t care about it. The game won, which is enough. The winning team can ignore all problems, especially the players themselves.


    Aldridge was confronted by reporters from the Marca and Aspen newspapers in a post-match press conference.


    The Spanish football media is basically divided into two camps, pro Barcelona or pro Madrid. Unlike the pure Real Madrid mouthpiece of Aspen, the Marca newspaper is slightly biased towards Real Madrid on the basis of being as neutral as possible.


    Today, Real Madrid¡¯s enemy is Millwall, and it is normal for the ¡°Marca¡± to stand on Real Madrid¡¯s side.


    "Millwall, considered the strongest offensive firepower in Europe, plays passive football in the Bernabeu. Is this Millwall''s style?"


    "Real Madrid scored three, one of which was a penalty, Millwall scored four, all scored by sports, the score is 3:4."


    "But you just got a better chance by counterattack, and didn''t dare to compete against Real Madrid."


    "The score is 3:4."


    "Is this Millwall''s style?"


    "If victory, winning, can be described as a style, then, I will proudly declare: yes, victory is the style of Millwall!"


    "Mr. Hall, you understand that I am talking about the style of football tactics..."


    "My answer is that you don''t understand. The tactics that can''t bring victory are wrong and invalid. Any technical and tactical system should aim at winning. This is our style."


    Aldrich choked the Spanish reporters with nothing to say. When he confronted the reporters, he rarely responded with silence. On the contrary, he would always force the other party to say nothing. The Spanish media could be tomorrow He was criticized in the news, but other European media will sing praises for him, and at the same time ridicule the Spanish journalists. Therefore, in the European competition, Aldridge is also the biggest star coach.


    "Makelele''s red card, do you think the referee''s decision is correct?"


    "Aspen" reporter is not like a leapfrog clown, his problem is that the needle is hidden in the cotton, it seems very normal and normal.


    But Aldrich knew the other party was mischievous.


    I am afraid that the other party is waiting for Aldridge to slam the referee for improper punishment. Then, UEFA intervenes in the investigation. In this way, Aldridge will be suspended!


    "My opinion is no longer important. The live audience, the audience watching the game through TV broadcasts around the world, and the media present. I believe that the penalty will be discussed in the next period, and the cocoon will be stripped of the whole process of the incident. Discussing in a silky way, should Makelele¡¯s handball be judged, whether the foul place is inside or outside the penalty zone, should it be a penalty, there will be many people in the football circle give their own views, Milwaukee Seoul will appeal to UEFA to apply for the cancellation of Makelele¡¯s red card."


    "He nearly hit the referee by hitting the ball on the ground, shouldn''t this be a red card?"


    "That¡¯s just part of the incident, just like if you report Makelele¡¯s red card tomorrow, the description only writes that he threw the football out of his hand and got the red card, this is your performance of dereliction of duty, unprofessional conduct, give Readers who browse your news cause misleading facts. When an ordinary person suffers injustice in his life, he has the instinct to vent, and we often notice how he vents, but he is concealed from the source of the injustice, and that, Is the most critical place."


    "In the final analysis, you still think the referee has made a serious mistake in law enforcement."


    "This is what you said, I didn''t say it."


    After the battle between Aldridge and Spanish journalists ended, the media reporters on Fleet Street asked some questions about looking forward to the round.


    Aldridge pointed out that Millwall had a good first-round result, but when he played in the second round, he had to forget the score and let his mind become stable.


    The key to being able to advance to the finals is the team''s mentality. Now, there is only one enemy in front of Millwall: himself!

 Chapter 495： death penalty

    Millwall¡¯s triumph from Bernabeu has undoubtedly become the most sensational news in Europe.


    But in addition to the report during the game, the two Millwall players have also become hot topics in the media.


    The first is Henry. This season has reached the final stage. Henry has been recognized as a world-class striker through all-season performance, although this is only his first complete season at Millwall. In the case of the domestic competitor Larson, he still played a perfect number, coupled with the performance of the French national team has become stable and excellent, the outside world is convinced that he will become one of the iconic forward strikers.


    The second is Ronaldinho.


    The youth team, the reserve team, the first team, Ronaldinho¡¯s third season at the Millwall first team changed from expectation to reality. They scored twice in the Bernabeu. The cheerful samba dance reversed all living beings. He dispelled the doubts and let Those who criticized his mental quality for being so hard that he missed a penalty kick last year closed their mouths. In 2000, the number one star in world football was no longer Ronaldinho.


    Moreover, he has a completely different name from the young Junyan who often appears together. He is already a real star.


    A large number of green stars of hope defined by people as "the protagonists of the future" will appear in every era, like Barry, Woodgate, Chivu, Apia, Lise, Dona, who are still playing at the center. Ti, Maresca, Pinardi, Leal, Smith, Santa Cruz... some of this large group of young people are hailed as geniuses, and some are wearing prodigy auras, and they can no longer compete with small ones Luo''s name was juxtaposed and discussed by people.


    Xavi, Casillas, Eto''o, Saviola, Aimar, Cassano and others also have a reputation gap with Ronaldinho.


    For those who eat professional football, as long as they kick the ball well, fame and fortune will come naturally.


    When Ronaldinho became a star and was inevitably touted by the outside world, it caused internal conflicts in Millwall.


    Someone in the Millwall team was dissatisfied with the status quo and directly expressed their views on the media.


    On the afternoon of the third day back in London, Aldridge rushed to the road against Xie on Wednesday to prepare for the game. Then he was pulled into the office by Evin, and the other party handed him a news manuscript.


    Aldridge took the manuscript in his hand and looked at it, with the "Star" logo. The manuscript of this news manuscript was accompanied by a picture. The protagonist in the picture was Dutchman VanderMead.


    "The relationship between Ronaldinho and the boss, I think no one does not know, the boss likes him, values ??him, and treats him completely beyond the normal standard, I don¡¯t know, I don¡¯t perform better than Ronaldinho Poor, but I just can¡¯t get the trust I deserve. If the boss asked me to play the main role after the Ukrainians and the French left since last season, I will definitely not be worse than the Brazilians. It¡¯s okay, I don¡¯t think I¡¯m getting the respect I deserve in Millwall, I don¡¯t want to continue wasting time here..."


    Aldrich raised his eyelids and asked solemnly, "Is the news true?"


    Yiwen nodded and said: "The interview ended at noon, there is a recording, and my work team unanimously confirmed that it was VanderMead."


    At this moment, Aldridge''s cell phone rang, and he picked it up, and Andrew called.


    He gave Yiwen a glance, and the other person would turn around and leave the office.


    When VanderMead was signed, Andrew also took the advantage of becoming the other''s agent.


    After Aldridge answered the phone, Andrew''s low voice passed from the other end of the phone.


    "Did you hear about Van der Mede?"


    "Ok."


    "This matter is left to me to resolve. I promise to shut him up."


    "No, you made a mistake. You will see the news tomorrow. Are you going to solve it? Me? Do nothing? Wrong, I will solve it!"


    "that¡­¡­"


    "You find him a house."


    Aldridge hung up the phone when he finished speaking.


    He leaned on the desk, turned around and pressed the hands-free button on the desk phone, dialed Adam''s phone, and gave instructions directly.


    "Notify the sales department that Van der Med''s jersey was removed from the club and the club publicly listed him."


    "what?"


    "Do I need to repeat it?"


    "understood."


    After hanging up the phone, Aldridge picked up the phone again and dialed VanderMead''s private phone.


    After communicating, he did not wait for VanderMead to speak, calmly said: "Tomorrow, if you want to come to the club to train, go to the reserve team, or you can go directly on vacation."


    Van der Mede was eating in the restaurant. He was a little nervous about what he said in the interview at noon. He saw Aldridge calling and thought that the boss would persuade him to give him some peace of mind in the club. committed to.


    However, with a cell phone in his ear, he was dumb as a chicken, and the fork in his hand fell into the pan, making a clear sound.


    incredible!


    He was abandoned like garbage.


    Aldrich didn''t ask or stay, he directly sentenced him to "death penalty" in Millwall.


    The following day, VanderMead''s report in an interview with The Star was published, prompting major media to follow up.


    Millwall went out on Wednesday in the relegated quagmire vortex. In addition to Henry continued to start, all positions were replaced by substitutes. Van der Med should have entered the roster and the starting debut, but he disappeared and was replaced by Hua Jin. .


    Xie had a relegation goal on Wednesday. 1 point and 0 points are not very different for them, so they dare to fight at home, Millwall is targeted to fight back and train the young lineup.


    The process was quite thrilling. Millwall finally defeated Xie Wednesday 3:2 away. Since the Chinese Premier League will drive fast next week, Aldridge let Henry resist the pressure of primary resistance. Anyway, this is what Henry himself hopes, he must work hard Refresh the league goals.


    In the post-match press conference, no reporter cared about the outcome of the match, because Manchester United won Southampton the day before, and Millwall could not win the championship in advance regardless of the result of this game, but they won, with four rounds left in the league, leading Manchester United scored 12 points. There is no suspense in winning the championship. Even if Millwall loses in the next four rounds and Manchester United wins, Manchester United will win the runner-up because of the huge goal difference. Of course, the theoretical possibility still exists, but as long as the next In the first round, Millwall was undefeated, and they will definitely declare the defending success.


    There was only one concern for the reporters present: the storm caused by VanderMead.


    "Mr. Hall, have you seen today''s interview with Millwall player VanderMead?"


    Aldridge looked as usual and smiled, "Look."


    "What is your opinion?"


    "Views? There are countless people in this world who have countless views, but they have no effect on reality. Therefore, views are never important. Yesterday I already informed the player and his agent that VanderMead can go to find a new club. Today, Millwall also officially listed VanderMead in the transfer market. I don¡¯t want to waste his time any more. I wish him good luck. This matter is perfectly resolved. So far."


    There was silence at the scene and many reporters looked at each other.


    Damn this!


    Everyone wants to watch a good show, and wants to see Aldridge¡¯s scorched side, and hopes that Millwall will become a pot of porridge, and a few more players will come out to express their dissatisfaction, it would be better!


    Aldridge had no new problems, he nodded to the reporters and got up and left.


    The reporters who have followed Millwall all the year round are not surprised. Even Giancarlo, the reporter of the Milan Sports News in the Premier League, takes it for granted.


    The following day, the Times made a key report on the Van der Mede incident.


    No way, there is no news in the Premier League.


    champion? Millwall.


    And Millwall has been very hot recently, just defeated Real Madrid on the road, and seeing that one foot has reached the finals. At this time, even if Millwall puts a fart, someone is coming to support!


    David Miller wrote that Van der Mede''s end was due to self-reliance.


    First of all, Van der Mead committed a taboo, this taboo has a lesson, that is, his fellow predecessor Stam.


    The point in time when Stam transferred to Manchester United was in trouble was when Millwall hit the first league title and the European Cup Winners'' Cup also entered the sprint. The situation is about the same as it is now.


    At this time, Millwall needs absolute internal stability. The general is dedicated. Players¡¯ personal interests must not override the team. Van der Mede commits crimes. When Millwall is the focus of all Europe, his speech is paid attention. Straight up.


    Aldrich, like dealing with Stam at the time, was resolutely popular, and he would never delay the time for the event to heat up and ferment, causing a greater impact to disturb the military.


    Secondly, Millwall is no longer Millwall, and Aldridge is not the same as Aldridge. His current authority is even more tolerant of the slightest violation.


    Van der Mead has dissatisfaction in his heart and hopes to be taken seriously. This is human nature. Seeing the other players in the team is very popular and wants to be one of them. What is wrong with this?


    But he used the wrong way. The Millwall team has strict discipline. The first is that the team''s internal affairs are insulated from the outside world. No one can take the locker room things out.


    He can talk to Aldridge in private, but he opened his mouth directly to the media. This choice is no different from "suicide".


    In the end, VanderMead''s remarks were the catalyst for Aldridge''s expulsion as soon as possible.


    If VanderMead just complained, Aldridge will definitely give him a chance, or, everyone will find a solution in a friendly and proper way.


    However, he named Ronaldinho directly in the interview. It sounded like a competition, but some of the words hidden in his heart were a situation. After he said it, the situation completely changed.


    Ronaldinho has proved himself and has contributed greatly to the team''s brilliant record this season, and Van der Meide has also performed well as a substitute, with 4 goals and 9 assists, playing in limited games. Zhong can be called a super bench, but what he said can easily be understood as a provocation, which forced him to definitely not get the support of most people in the Millwall locker room, seniority, time spent, contribution, all aspects He can''t compare to Ronaldinho, can he stay?


    Aldrich must let him go, at least in the two options of leaving and leaving, Van der Mede leaves, Aldrich can not only establish authority, but also stabilize the interior, leaving him, but will bury hidden dangers, and now this At a critical stage, we begin to solve the derived problems.


    David Miller made some thoughts at the end of the article.


    He believes that Aldridge''s role has changed completely.


    Six years ago, Aldridge, the owner and coach, was the boss and the coach. He had authority, but it was a huge question whether he could serve the crowd. Thuram, Solskjaer, Stam, Pires and other players Leaving, maybe the heart questioned the young master''s ability to play a role.


    But six years later, Aldridge, who has become one of the most watched coaches in European football today, has thoroughly established the prestige and authority of the head coach, Nedved, Southgate, Larsen, Schneider Germany and other players who will suffer huge temptations during each transfer period. They follow Aldridge with heartbreak. The key factor is that they are sincerely convinced by this young handsome, follow him, and play under his hand, you can get glory, pull The golden **** and countless medals that Helson and Nedved put in the honor collection room at home are the best proof.


    The era of Millwall has changed. Van der Med should feel sorry for himself. He should not only see Ronaldinho''s skyrocketing. He should also see that there are many, many players who want to play for Millwall. And get no chance.

 Chapter 496： Smash theory

    After spending the weekend evening with his two sons in Liverpool, Aldridge returned to London and unexpectedly found that Van der Meade really did not lack buyers.


    This should be the first player the club has actively sold since Aldridge coached the team.


    Although Van der Mead is a substitute, which of the substitutes sold by Millwall is a signboard?


    Even Phillips, who has been dug from the amateur league for three years, has become a popular killer in the Premier League this year. Without Henry and Larson, Phillips is definitely the first striker of the Premier League this season because he is in the shooter list. The chaser behind him threw the boss a distance.


    Van der Mede was expelled from Aldrich by violating Tiantiao, not because of his own strength issues, which made him more vulnerable to looting. Buyers are looking forward to introducing Van der Mede at a low price, and then watching Van der Mede become popular in his team. , Become a first-line star.


    In the evening at Aldridge''s house, the club''s CEOs Adam, Andrew, Ewen, and Aldridge were sitting in the living room.


    Aldridge held a stack of purchase fax quotations in his left hand, with a cigarette in his right hand, and sat beside him with Ewen. When Aldridge watched the fax, she picked up the ashtray on the table and placed it on his right hand, so he wouldn¡¯t Note that soot fell on the sofa.


    Adam frowned slightly when he saw Yiwen''s move.


    "2 million, 2 million, 3 million, 3.5 million...they really thought we were a big jump sale!"


    Aldridge looked sad after turning over.


    It really took two or three million to sell Van der Mead, which was a huge loss.


    Andrew snatched the document from him and bowed his head quickly.


    There are 9 clubs in the Premier League who have sent bids, 8 in La Liga, 5 in Serie A, 6 in France, 4 in Germany, and others such as Portugal and the Netherlands. There are also several clubs interested in Van der Meide.


    Andrew also looked impatient and grumbled: "I don''t know if they will take van der Med as gold on the road or as garbage that others don''t want. There are many people who want, and the price can be really shameful. Arsenal is just open. 4 million pounds."


    Aldridge got up and took a bottle of beer in the refrigerator and casually said: "I don''t want to see him in the Premier League, so don''t think about the Premier League team, the club will refuse."


    Andrew just eliminated Van der Mede himself and as an agent, his personal opinion that Van der Mede should not go to the club.


    The club is interested in making an offer, depending on whether the player agrees or not.


    After Aldridge came back with his beer, his mobile phone shook on the coffee table. He took a look at the phone while drinking beer and laughed.


    Ewen curiously watched Aldridge send a message with a smile on her face, and sent one by one, one by one, making her curious.


    "friend?"


    "That''s right, Galliani also wants Van der Med."


    If the text is unknown, he said: "You have a good relationship with him?"


    "That''s not true, it''s just that there are many interactions."


    "Need to talk for a long time?"


    "Well... he wants to wear the white wolf empty-handed. This man is good. He proposed to let Millwall rent Van der Meade to AC Milan next season. What do I worry about? I will regret selling him in the future. I will rent it out and decide after a year. , Persuade me to calm down. Hey, hey, I¡¯m not in a hurry to get angry, and I¡¯m calm down. This guy has too much mind, a tone of thinking for me, if I listen to him, if he is sold, he will help him Count the money!"


    Yeah.


    Andrew couldn''t help laughing.


    If Millwall really wants to lend Van der Mead for a year, it means that there is almost no return on Van der Mead. Even if there is, the return will be very low.


    Because VanderMead''s contract has two years left.


    A year later, even if Aldridge wants to take back Van der Mead, it is estimated that the other party will continue to decline the contract.


    When the contract expires, he is free and he doesn''t want to go where he wants to go. He wants his club to give a huge signing fee and salary contract.


    Furthermore, renting Van der Meade to AC Milan, shouldn''t be fooled by Galliani?


    Aldrich knew that he was texting to play with Galliani.


    After Andrew deleted the offer, he placed five copies of the club''s purchase fax in front of Aldridge, and at the moment, Aldridge''s phone rang.


    He glanced at the caller ID and couldn''t help crying: "The same city, the same rhythm."


    Caller, President of Inter Milan: Moratti.


    The others remained silent, and Aldridge answered the phone with a smile on his face.


    Speaking of Inter Milan this season, it was really unlucky. In the summer, it created the highest transfer record in the world football. When Vieri was introduced, the team had two great forwards. Unfortunately, in November last year, Ronaldo suffered multiple injuries and healed for more than four months. After recovering, Inter Milan was in a normal state. Inter Milan also bid farewell to the championship early in the league. Now they are striving for the Champions League seat and the Italian Cup.


    Can Moratti not be sad?


    Spend money every day, all spend generous, but the team''s record has always been unsatisfactory.


    No, I heard that Millwall wanted to sell players. Moratti did not ask the team to send an offer. He simply called Aldridge to talk directly and said that he would take Van der Med.


    Produced by Millwall, it must be a boutique!


    Moratti feels that most of the famous players bought by the club at a large price have a feeling of being unrealistic. On the contrary, Millwall has a lot of treasures.


    Otherwise, why Millwall sells people every year, but his record does not fall but rises!


    In the past, Aldridge and Moratti did not do a deal, this time, Moratti was confident.


    I don''t dig your main force, let alone dig your star of hope, but you have already abandoned tenders for bidding, it''s always cheaper for me!


    "10 million pounds? Well, it''s really high, but Van der Med wants to go to A Coru?a. You also know that A Coru?a has invested a lot in the past two years. This year, he will win the league title in La Liga. They opened 12 million pounds, and VanderMead¡¯s agent has already made an ultimatum to the club and must accept the offer from A Coru?a. After all, the style of La Liga is more suitable for technical players like VanderMead.¡±


    Aldrich spoke to the phone while picking up a fax in front of him. It was indeed A Coru?a''s offer, a sincere offer!


    ¡ê8 million!


    "15 million? Well, I only agree to the offer of Inter Milan and A Coru?a, and then the rest of the matter is left to you to negotiate with the players, and the final choice is left to VanderMead. What do you think? Well, well, well Yes, hey, you¡¯re welcome, normal club player trades, okay, rest assured, um, goodbye."


    Aldridge hung up the phone at the same time, Yi Wen covered his mouth with one hand and finally let out laughter, hitting him with one hand.


    Aldrich stacked the faxes on the coffee table in front of him and prepared to destroy them later with a shredder.


    "Okay, Van der Mede¡¯s business is all over. He will transfer to Inter Milan. We received 15 million pounds. Andrew, you can guarantee that he won¡¯t be involved before the transfer. In case of injury, a scandal or something, right No one benefits."


    Andrew smiled, and Adam questioned: "Boss, what is the offer of A Coruna?"


    Aldrich casually said: "Agree."


    "Who will guarantee that Van der Mead must accept Inter Milan''s conditions?"


    "Moratti''s check would guarantee it."


    Aldrich felt a little hungry, so he invited three people to go out for supper together. This evening was not bad.


    In the 35th round of the Premier League, Millwall visited St. James''s Park to challenge the Magpies Newcastle United.


    This is very likely to be a decisive day for the Premier League this season.


    If Millwall is undefeated, they will declare the defending success.


    If Millwall loses and Manchester United does not win, they will also declare a successful defending.


    Newcastle United fans are more comfortable now.


    This season has experienced ups and downs in mentality. Now, the team is in the middle, but they feel a little satisfied.


    Bobby Robson took Newcastle United out of the trough, the league is not over, the points obtained by Newcastle United have been almost the same as the points obtained in 38 rounds last season, considering that Robson took over the ball in September Team, at that time Newcastle United ranked first in the league, so Robson''s ability to score points has led far beyond Gullit''s coaching period.


    The coach used experience and wisdom to give the Magpie fans hope. From the relegation panic this season, they returned to a stable position. The fans can¡¯t ask for more, and they also believe that under the leadership of Robson, Newcastle United can complete the revival. Great cause, or re-emergence.


    The game was driven fast in the middle of the week, and Millwall will play in the FA Cup semi-finals on the weekend. The second leg of the Champions League semi-finals will be ushered in next week.


    Therefore, in the team arrangement, he let the substitutes go to rest and wait for the FA Cup battle this weekend. In this game, the main team played. Larsen also entered the starting list. The last time he came off the bench, he didn¡¯t make much effort. Poor evaluation, this game can specifically examine the state after a minor injury.


    Aldridge wants to completely end the suspense in the Premier League today, let the main lineup play this game, with the momentum of the defending success against the UEFA Champions League semi-finals round, if everything goes well, they have enough time to prepare for the UEFA Champions League final, combine in time In terms of continuity of player status, this node should be the most ideal, and the team will not be relaxed because of the lack of key battles.


    Newcastle United was desperate and unrestrained. They played extremely unrestrained at home and met Millwall¡¯s full main force. The score for them, the honor is greater than the actual meaning. After 90 minutes of full-struggle, St. James Park Stadium became A place for fans of Millwall fans.


    "2:4, Millwall locked in the Premier League title this season through victory on the road. Congratulations to Millwall. This is their third league title and their first successful defending league title. Hall has gained a new millennium. The first championship, but Millwall¡¯s season is not over yet, they have more ambitious goals to pursue, four days later in the FA Cup semi-final, if Millwall passes smoothly, can we expect Millwall to create A great achievement unprecedented in England? League, UEFA Champions League, FA Cup, Triple Crown!"


    In the same round of the league, Manchester United still won, this is their eighth consecutive win in the second half of the season, but still can not stop Millwall from crushing the possibility of winning the theory, with three rounds left in the league, Millwall leads Manchester United scored 12 points to win the league title!


    Robson took the initiative to walk in front of Aldridge after the game and reached out to congratulate Aldridge. Aldridge smiled and chatted with the coach for a long time. He didn''t stop until he was dragged by Millwall to celebrate.


    After the game, Aldridge received the first congratulation message from Ferguson...

 Chapter 497： Sword Finger Triple Crown

    Manchester City, Maine Road Stadium.


    The FA Cup semifinal match between Millwall and Aston Villa will be played here, Manchester City''s home court.


    Manchester City are still fighting in the Premier League, but they have played well in the Premier League this season and may see the blue moon in the Premier League next season.


    From the environment around the Maine Road stadium, we can roughly understand why Manchester City was suppressed by Manchester United in this city. Even at the earliest, the city''s owner is definitely Manchester City, and Manchester United is only an outsider.


    On the way to the Maine Road stadium, you can see a large area of ??abandoned factory buildings. The sight of the decline of the world''s factories seems to have left traces at this time. This area has become a gathering place for immigrants, and the prosperity can not be talked about. It is the most appropriate description. It is not difficult to understand why Manchester City will move away from this stadium in the future and choose a place with a better geographical environment to settle down.


    The same as last year, Fleet Street is advocating that Millwall will create a great cause and win the first triple crown in the history of English football.


    Last year, there was only one Champions League.


    This year, Millwall, the defending champion of the FA Cup, still sent all the substitutes to play in the FA Cup semi-finals in the All England focus.


    After defeating Newcastle United a few days ago, Millwall won the league championship. This is a good stimulus to the morale of the whole team, especially the young players. Although their contributions are only a small part, they have witnessed the continuation of Millwall. Brilliant, it made them proud, and Aldridge''s trust in them, let them play for the team in the level of the FA Cup semi-final match, which made them both moved and full of fighting spirit.


    A large number of crazy lion fans came to Manchester City in droves. They sang cheerful songs in the stands before the game to celebrate the team''s third championship in the club''s history.


    As for the Van der Mede incident, there wasn''t even a single wave of waves in the fanatic crowd. The timing of the incident was also disgusted by the fans, and there was no hint of support for the Dutch. The club and fans were from top to bottom. I was looking forward to hitting the glory within a month. At this time, someone disturbed the military, and the fans didn''t care who he was. Audridge''s disposal even made many fans feel very happy. For this kind of black sheep, it should clean up the portal as soon as possible.


    When Aldrich in suit and leather walked out of the player channel with one hand, the crazy lion fans who occupied most of the stands involuntarily made a worship gesture of bowing down with his hands in this direction. They smiled and were very happy. To express the highest respect and gratitude to His Majesty the King of the Mad Lion.


    The live footage swept across the stands, and this scene became the most classic fan picture of the season.


    When there are tens of thousands of fans making worship services to a coach at the same time, the scene is absolutely shocking!


    Without him, Aldridge has created a new history. In the era of the Premier League, he has become the most successful coach of the Premier League!


    Not counting the number of top league champions, but only comparing the Premier League champions, after Millwall''s successful defending this season, their number of Premier League champions is already the same as Manchester United.


    Manchester United won three Premier League titles in 93, 94 and 96.


    Blackburn won the 95-year championship and Arsenal won the 98-year championship.


    The remaining years, 97, 99, and 2000, were all Millwall champions.


    Considering that Millwall was only on the Premier League stage in 1994, Audridge compared to Ferguson, and Millwall compared to Manchester United. Obviously, the former took less time to get three Premier League titles.


    If you add the League Cup, the FA Cup, and the European Championship, Millwall is undoubtedly the most successful club in England in the past five years. No one is the most successful!


    Aldridge was also calmed down by the sudden action of the fans on the sidelines. It took a long time for him to relax. Klinsmann and Jenson on the coach seat saw Aldridge''s expression as "frightened". It was rare. He laughed when the game was about to start, and the players sitting on the bench were all respected.


    Aldridge also paid a gesture of worship to the stands where the fans were, and then raised their hands to applaud.


    The current scene made him feel very different. Millwall was different. The FA Cup semi-final was held in the middle position. They came to the stadium to cheer more fans than opponents! This is a sharp increase in the number of fans when they reached the FA Cup semi-finals four years ago.


    Aston Villa coach Gregory saw that Aldridge was so admired by fans, saying that he didn¡¯t envy that it must be a complete lie. At this point, there is no need to deceive yourself. No matter how famous the club is, a coach can convince Thousands of fans'' hearts, this should be one of the pursuits of aspiring coaches, and Aldridge has already done this.


    After the interaction with the fans ended, Aldridge put his mind on the upcoming game. The fans gave their full support. He also had to let the team give the record to give back to the fans.


    "The 1999-2000 England FA Cup semi-final is about to start. Millwall and Aston Villa are fighting for the final tickets at the Maine Road stadium. The highly-watched Millwall sent a full bench lineup today. It is confusing to the outside world, because they are on the bench, you will think that their strength must be greatly reduced, but Millwall¡¯s backup player has a good potential, and he has performed very well after a planned exercise, and this season is the same, voila Look at their bench lineup. Players like Glenn Charles, Klose, Lampard, etc. are fully capable of playing the main role in the Premier League midfield club."


    Millwall started 433.


    Goalkeeper: Keller.


    Guards: Ferreira, Balzali, Metzelder, Ashley Cole.


    Midfielders: Neil, Lampard, Ramall.


    Forwards: Joaquin, Klose, Glennshire.


    Makelele ended with a red card in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals. Not only did he not be able to play in the second round, Millwall¡¯s appeal was also dismissed by UEFA, and he made a three-game suspension for Maclele due to Maclele. Suspected of insulting the head referee after receiving a red card.


    Because of this change, Aldridge let Gattuso rest in this game, preparing for the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals four days later. Neal played as a defensive midfielder. It''s totally trusted.


    The combination of Balzali + Metzeld has hidden worries, but they must be exercised. If not, how can it be improved?


    And today''s opponent, Aldridge believes that it is not too dangerous for them.


    Aston Villa ranked 7th in the Premier League, relying on solid defense. They only have more goals than Millwall, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal.


    The factor restricting them from being able to attack the top six is ??the offensive. Aston Villa is the lowest offensive firepower among the top 12 in the Premier League. Even Robson¡¯s Newcastle United ranked 12th in the league and the league scored more goals. Ston Villa 15!


    The brave young guys showed blood from the beginning of the game. Despite their age and Aston Villa''s gap, they did not fall out of confrontation.


    Neal guarded the midfield defensive gate, and the aggressiveness made Aston Villa''s midfield attack completely unable to advance to the front line.


    Their soft offense did not take effect within ten minutes after the game started, and Millwall gradually began to take control of the midfield.


    Lampard, the captain of England of all ages except the national team, has also been stable this season. After Aldridge fixed him in the midfield position, he began to find the feeling.


    This feeling is to sort out the rationality of the attack, strengthen the overall situation, and timely plug in the attack to form a threat. He has been working hard, but in the past there was a feeling that the force was not used in the right place. Now This phenomenon is disappearing.


    A qualified midfielder can see him while defending, and can also see him when attacking, a good midfielder, then it is everywhere in the B2B activity area!


    It can accurately predict the development of the ball and appear in the most appropriate place.


    Although Lampard has not yet reached a particularly excellent height, he has developed in a good direction on the basis of qualification.


    What makes Aldridge even more delighted is Ramall, who had a very stable start to the bench or played in a secondary game this season. His technical ability has matured. What he needs is game experience and enhanced confrontation. These two points are in There has been a breakthrough development this season. Now it is reasonable to watch him play on the court. He is quite capable. He does not have the excessive excitement of playing on the court like young players. I can¡¯t wait to use all the energy accumulated in training at once.


    Aston Villa''s defense is solid, Millwall wants to penetrate the opponent''s defense in the middle of the road is a fool''s dream, Lampard and Ramall frequently shift the ball to the side.


    Compared with the performance of Joaquin and Glenchard, Joaquin is even better, because he has no space, he can get rid of it in one place. In a small-scale intensive defense, he has passed continuously. Man needs space to use explosive power and speed, but Aston Villa did not give him.


    Instead, it was Joaquin, who used the delicate foot technique to create a lot of threats on the right side. The quality of the passing ball is also very good. Unfortunately, Klose is difficult to make a difference under the attack.


    In the game of commanding the bench lineup, Aldridge made very few adjustments. At the same time, the adjustment time is often after 30 minutes, because he needs to give these young players more time to adapt to the game, enter the state first, integrate into the game and release the pressure , And then make adjustments carefully, to avoid frequent changes that make players confused.


    After playing for 25 minutes in this game, Aldridge started to adjust, the players played well, but Aston Villa focused on defense, Millwall had fewer offensive points, and was easy to be marked, especially in the penalty area. The threat is almost zero, so Aldridge needs the team to have more offensive points.


    He gestured on the sidelines, allowing Ashley Cole and Ferreira to insert assists.


    In the first 25 minutes, these two full-back positions have been pressed near the center line to contain Aston Villa¡¯s side counterattack, but Aldridge observed that the opponent¡¯s side counterattack was not a midfielder or full-back. Instead, the offensive player pulls the edge to form a side impact. In the process of going forward, the middle player runs at a high speed to respond forward. In this way, Millwall can completely allow the full back to press up and defend the side counter to Neil. If he can''t contain it, there will not be a disadvantage in the number of players in the middle. After all, Aston Villa fights back and has very few players. At that time, it will only test the positive defensive ability of the two central defenders.


    Aldrich¡¯s adjustments began to take effect. Ferreira¡¯s approaching assists weren¡¯t particularly obvious, because Joaquin was skilled in ball control and seemed to prefer to control the ball to create threats.


    And Ashley Cole and Glenchard played eloquently, Cole set the bottom, and Glencharne cut, threatening to play well.

 Chapter 498： Eruption of the cradle of superstars

    Although Millwall created eight shots in the first half, he failed to break through Aston Villa''s goal.


    At halftime, Aldridge returned to the locker room, clenched his fists and waved in front of his eyes, inspiring his morale.


    "You have done a good job! But as long as you work harder, we will score goals and take away the victory. Don¡¯t forget that since the FA Cup, you have been fighting for Millwall, If you can make it to the finals, you are the biggest heroes!"


    "Aston Villa ranked seventh in the Premier League. They are also afraid of you. Did you see them? They only dare to fight back and shrink in the backcourt. They only dare to put up to three players when they attack. They are afraid, and we Nothing terrible! Don¡¯t put pressure on yourself, I just need you to fight hard."


    ...


    Aldrich will always appear in front of them in an inspiring and inspiring manner towards young players. This is very different from the mature first team. The first team of old fritters are expecting them to be renewed in a few words. That is not a realistic, fighting player. They have always been fighting, and the players without fighting spirit are Liu Adou who can''t afford it. After all, their age is beyond the point where they can be easily confused or infected by words.


    Under Aldridge¡¯s mobilization, the players also encouraged each other. They are proving themselves and improving themselves. Friends, comrades on the field, are an indispensable part of this road, benign competition between each other, and The solidarity and mutual encouragement when fighting side by side is an important factor to stimulate their success.


    Aston Villa defended the first half, but the counterattack was unsatisfactory and there were few points of attack. The counterattack on the wing was also cleared by Millwall. Neal was not slow and he was aggressive and defensive when defending. It doesn''t matter if you don''t go down, you can smash the ball out of the sideline or foul and create a positioning ball, you can kill Aston Villa''s attack.


    Occasionally, Aston Villa passed from the side counter to the middle, and Balzali and Metzeld did not fall off the chain today. They did not endure a continuous impact. They made when they observed the situation on the static field. Calm judgment and tacit cooperation succeeded in suppressing the opponent''s threat offensive.


    At the beginning of the second half, Millwall kicked off first, and then launched a fast break after the kick. The midfielder pressed and the wing combination was quickly inserted.


    Aston Villa was suddenly beaten up.


    Lampard and Neal played a two-on-one match and took the ball to the 45-yard zone before the penalty area. The score was given to Ashley Cole who was inserted after the wing, and the latter made another pass to the inside. Glenshire.


    Glennshire wanted to spoil the ball, but he was entangled with the opposing defender. The ball was touched by the opponent and fell behind his body. Seeing that he would lose the ball, someone quickly inserted from behind He took the ball and took a big step forward, breaking through Aston Villa''s last line of defense.


    Ramall!


    Excellent game reading ability allowed him to move ahead to support Glenchard. He meant to play with Glencharg to play the wall again. Glenchard passed the ball to him and then inserted forward. He then plugged in and let Glenchard succeeded in counter-offside, but unfortunately Glenchard chose to go it alone, but the area where Ramall appeared just hit forward and formed a threat.


    This may be a result of inadvertently inserting willows, but it works well.


    Ramall decisively lifted his foot in a single-handed situation and calmly chose to push the position of the armpit of the goalkeeper''s side. The goalkeeper Aston Villa fell to the ground is not too slow, but he watched the ball from under his elbow Rolled into the goal.


    "Ramor''s goal helped Millwall set the record! What a wonderful situation. As long as Millwall does not concede a goal, they will advance to the FA Cup final. Looking forward to Millwall''s triple crown last season, they fell. In the Champions League, will this season still disappoint the expected fans? Sorry, it should not be said that disappointment, Millwall¡¯s achievements in the FA Cup double crown last season has been very impressive, but we can¡¯t refuse the dream, the crazy lion¡¯s Fans must also be looking forward to the team accomplishing this great cause, even if they can not do it, I think no one will blame this fantastic team!"


    After officially completing Nirvana¡¯s reborn Rammore goal on the top court this season, he immediately took off his jersey. He ran frantically to the coach¡¯s seat, embraced Aldridge fiercely, and also put Aldrich Qi gave him a hug...


    Most of the players on the field also rushed over. Neal and Glenn Charles came together. They stood near the middle circle and looked at the teammates and coaches who gathered together on the sidelines.


    Glennshire smiled with his arms on his hips: "It seems that we have done this before."


    "Of course I did."


    Neil raised his eyebrows and smiled.


    When the celebration was over, Aldridge and the players were still standing in a circle. He bent down and spoke aggressively to them: "I knew we would score! You can score! What is the most important thing now?" The game is not over yet, Aston Villa definitely thinks they still have a chance, no, they are gone! You will tell them by action, fate is in our hands! Who is going to the final? Who is it? Tell me aloud !"


    "Milwall!"


    "Milwall!"


    "Milwall!"


    Aldrich clapped and waved with them after applauding, and when the players walked on the court, their expressions became firmer and their eyes glowed as if they could burn the earth!


    The referee showed Ramore a yellow card.


    Aston Villa''s players held their breath.


    This is definitely a bad breath.


    They can''t say that they are against Millwall in the league, they don''t even have the qualification to challenge!


    But in the cup match, the two teams really forged a lot of Liangzi.


    What is the first championship trophy in the history of Millwall Club?


    League Cup champion.


    Who snatched it from?


    Aston Villa!


    Originally, the middle and lower teams of the Premier League in the league were well-off and only had luck in the cup, so Millwall and the uncompetitive Chelsea, Leicester City, Aston Villa and other teams were in the cup. Meeting very frequently.


    What about Aston Villa?


    The first five minutes and the last five minutes of the second half of the game are the easiest stages to lose the ball, because the player is either not in the state or the spirit is still in the slack stage. Aston Villa is just at this point, and this Instead, Millwall focused on requiring players in training. If he kicks off first after the start of the second half, he will attack a wave.


    But this is also divided into occasions, such as away combat is not so demanding.


    Today''s position in China must definitely take advantage of this.


    Aston Villa saw that the final tickets had to slip through the fingers, and he was unwilling. While increasing efforts to attack, the on-court confrontation also increased by one level.


    In the 63rd minute of the second half, Hua Jin was knocked to the ground by the opponent. The opponent''s bravery was also deliberately hidden. He jumped and was hit in the air, causing his shoulder to dislocate when he landed.


    Hua Jin lost his face. Today he feels very good and has created a lot of opportunities on the sidelines. It is easy for technical players to play in the Premier League, but the difficulties encountered are also the same: confrontation Shock.


    Once they can''t stand the confrontation, no matter how good the technical players are, they will either cause their own malfunctions or be injured by the collision.


    The referee showed a yellow card to the opponent foul player as a warning, Millwall passively wanted to replace.


    Aldridge called Joe Cole, who had finished warming up, and gave him the task after playing.


    "Millwall substitution, Joe Cole replaced Joaquin, this is a passive substitution, but let us see how strong Millwall''s talent reserve, even if they are passive substitution, they can still not use the main player, Joe Cole went to the left after playing, Glennshire moved to the right, and the game was almost half an hour away. I don¡¯t know if this substitution will affect Millwall."


    There must be an impact.


    When Aston Villa invests more players in the offense than it did in the first half, Millwall¡¯s two full-back assists will take the initiative to decrease, so when attacking, the two wing players must threaten.


    Glenn Charles was liberated, and the space he played became larger, which had nothing to do with substitutions, and was related to side changes and game trends.


    The full-back on this side has just taken the yellow card, and the defensive action must be converged. At the same time, Aston Villa will attack, and the defensive space in the backcourt will become larger, which is suitable for the play of Glenchard speed players.


    On the other hand, Joe Cole has repeatedly created threats through excellent footwork and technical advantages.


    Although he is not a traditional winger or a modern winger, Aldridge gave him clear space for offensive activities when he trained him.


    In the 79th minute, Glenn Charles dipped the ball on the right and then moved laterally. Then when there was no chance to pass a straight and a long shot, he passed the ball to the middle.


    Ramall was at that point, but Ramall didn''t catch the ball. He took the initiative to insert the rib freely, and moved from the other side to the middle of the road. Joe Cole grabbed the ball and immediately straightened to Celamor. It was just right that Ramall got a chance that was almost the same as when he broke the goal earlier, but this time, Aston Villa¡¯s goalkeeper abandoned the goal, Ramall couldn¡¯t get a shot, and knocked down the middle decisively, Klose Outstrip the middle and push the ball into the empty goal.


    "2:0, Klose''s goal helped Millwall to secure the victory! These young players are really exciting, we can believe that Millwall has the best talent group in European football in the next ten years!"


    Klose smiled at Lamor after scoring a goal, then ran to the sidelines and spread his arms to celebrate with a beautiful flip.


    Little Carpenter has played more than 20 times on various fronts in Millwall this season. The data is flawless, with 14 goals and 9 assists. He is the player with the most goals in the FA Cup this season, but the total scorer list In fact, he is not ranked first.


    Because before the Premier League team joined the FA Cup team, in the qualifiers and the first and second rounds, the low-level team always had so many games that ended in a disparity score, there is a Premier League striker list on the scorer list. The field scored 5 goals, the team stopped in the round of 16, but he scored 11 goals...


    Of course, the goals of the game after the dish abuse and the round of 16 are not comparable, and the gold content is not a level.


    Aston Villa players suffered a huge blow, two goals behind, leaving little time for them.


    In the last ten minutes of the game, Aston Villa pressed across the board, trying to create miracles.


    However, few teams have created a reversal miracle of more than 2 goals on Aldridge''s team.


    Today is no exception.


    Aldridge withdrew Ramall after Klose scored, allowing Pedretti to form a double back with Neal and fight back.


    In the last five minutes, Millwall scored two goals in a row with counterattacks. Lampard and Joe Cole added to the team''s icing on the cake. The score of 4:0 remained until the end of the game.


    Millwall advanced to the FA Cup final, one step closer to the championship.

 Chapter 499： Real Madrid final

    Millwall has become a love and hate team in the European gaming industry!


    Their strength can attract the favor of many customers, and even if Millwall plays a tie in the league, the bookmaker will make a lot of money.


    But the biggest headache for the bookmakers is that Millwall played in domestic cups. They sent substitutes to battle. It can be understood as two teams. Their strength should be reduced, but they won. But like today¡¯s semifinals, they are still big. The score won, just look at the score, as if there is no suspense.


    This is inseparable from the youth training system of the Millwall star cradle. Except for goalkeepers Keller, Klose and Ramall, other players came to the team at the age of 18 or before. Not only did the first team have a brilliant record, but also the results of the youth training were further presented.


    Some players were interviewed after the game.


    Many teams across Europe are interested in the main players of the Millwall first team. This is not a secret and everyone knows it.


    Now even their replacements have become hot.


    "Congratulations, Ramor, today you scored a goal for the team to break the deadlock. It is the hero of the team''s promotion to the final. How do you feel now?"


    Ramall was silent for a moment in front of the interview lens, his smile remained on his face, and then said with a smile: "Wonderful, it feels wonderful now, I can help the team reach the finals to win a trophy for an important event , I feel very honored, it makes me feel full of presence on the team, and also makes me have a sense of accomplishment at the end of the season, can play a great club like Millwall, I think it is a fantastic life."


    "There are rumors that Liverpool would like you to return to Anfield to put on the Red Army jersey. We all know that you used to be a member of Liverpool¡¯s youth training. Have you ever thought about going back to Liverpool and Gerrard, Irving? Teammates get together again?"


    The summer transfer window didn¡¯t start, but by the end of the season, many teams¡¯ transfer work had already begun, and some even started in February and March. After all, for some teams, the season¡¯s achievements were already Basically fixed.


    Lamore''s smile eased a bit, saying: "It is true that I used to be a youth player in Liverpool. I am very grateful to Liverpool for cultivating my input. But that''s all. This is the whole story of Liverpool and me. My The official start of my career was in Millwall. Here, I have a good relationship with the coaches and get along well with my teammates. I work hard and get the protection of the club. They ensure my health, discuss career development with me, and try to make me change. Even better, the boss also gave me the opportunity to contribute my strength to the team. I am very satisfied with the current situation. I feel that staying at Millwall feels great. This is like my home."


    Ramall, who fell from the altar, was very calm in the face of the temptation to transfer. Perhaps only if he experienced it as personally as he did, he would know how good it is to meet a knowledgeable person who can inspire his head coach in the football world. It¡¯s rare that he doesn¡¯t want to go anywhere else, really doesn¡¯t want to. The experience of being rented to Doncaster by Liverpool is a nightmare. He can¡¯t bear to look back. He has no complaints about Liverpool, but he is not grateful to Liverpool. After standing up, he attacked Liverpool, because he had no hatred in his heart, he left Anfield and came to Millwall. He thought that this process was his precious experience and wealth, which made his spiritual strength stronger and his will stronger. .


    Ramall made a straight-forward rumor, and another scoring hero was more straightforward in an interview.


    "Hi Klose, you have scored 14 goals this season, but Millwall has Henry. Have you thought about leaving the team for the main position? Now many teams are interested in you, Especially German clubs."


    Klose looked blank and said, "My new home in London has just been renovated and I will not go anywhere..."


    The young players who have just arrived are not high in income. The clubs provide apartments for them in the community, but if they earn money and want to buy a house by themselves, they will basically choose an ideal residence outside.


    Klose really made a lot of money this season. In addition to the weekly salary increase when he renewed last season, as well as his goal bonus, the team¡¯s promotion bonus in the cup, there is a huge gap with the main player¡¯s salary, but There is also a lot of money saved.


    He bought a house in London in February, and he will personally decorate it in his spare time. Young people, earning money in independent living. With his first suite, it may not be luxurious, but his status in the heart is estimated to be better than In the future, the Thousand Marriott Residences will be more precious.


    Now the management of the team is no longer the same as that of the army. The club cannot make the players shut up to the media or ask the players to stop commercial activities. Beckham is a good example.


    However, there are still regulations within the club. Players can be interviewed. If you can¡¯t say it, don¡¯t say it, otherwise it will only catch fire.


    These are basically agents that play a role in teaching players how to face the media, maintain their popularity and reputation to increase business value, and can''t stalemate the relationship with the club unless the agent advises players to leave the club.


    Ramall, Klose''s remarks in an interview belong to the club not only to accept, but also to win the joy of the club management.


    Aldridge was asked in an interview that many teams are interested in young Millwall players. Will the team sell a lot of youth players at once like last year?


    "I don¡¯t want to describe the transfer of players as a convention. Each player is special. Different players are suitable for different clubs. Millwall¡¯s philosophy of treating players is to consider them. When we think that a player is not in the club When there is a future, we will not use abandonment to describe the player transfer, but hope to help the player find a club that can continue to develop his career and develop better. Millwall will not sell young players for sale, like Klose, he is the player Millwall will rely on in the future. I am not saying that he will replace Henry, but Klose is fully capable of contributing his own strength to Millwall, but he is still improving. Now he is on average. Playing a game in 10 days, according to his physical condition and competitive level in the future, he will get more opportunities."


    "But you already have Henry."


    "Who told you that Millwall can only play one forward? Whether they are Henry or Klose, they are not fixedly able to play center. If one day I send two players to play at the same time, is it doomed to two? Can''t people coexist?"


    The reporters suddenly realized that Millwall 433 swept the Premier League in recent years. They won the championship season with 433. They switched between 442 and 433 last season, but they really exerted their power and continued this season. It''s still 433, so a player in the center position and two wingers with scoring ability are the deep-rooted Millwall attack patterns.


    But if Aldridge succeeds with 442 again, will the British be surprised? The vast majority of English fans will think this is normal, they lived on 442 for nearly half a century.


    Millwall passed the semi-finals in a strong way. After the opponents in the finals were released, Fleet Street sighed: The enemy is narrow!


    Millwall¡¯s FA Cup final opponent this year made the crazy Lions fans crazy.


    Chelsea!


    What could be more exciting for fans than winning a championship?


    Have!


    Beat the enemy in the final to win the championship!


    While appreciating the beloved team to win the championship, witnessed the sad enemy of the dead enemy!


    The FA Cup news lasted only two days before being replaced by new news.

 ~： The second round came strong.

    Real Madrid in white fluttering came to London one day in advance!


    After hopelessly winning the league, Real Madrid desperately put all their energy into the Champions League.


    At the beginning of the turn of the millennium, the confrontation between Millwall and Real Madrid was described as a battle of the century by Fleet Street!


    After all, Real Madrid has six crowns in hand and is the most successful team in the Champions League in the 20th century. Even if the glory goes away, history cannot be rewritten after all. As the only team that preserves the authenticity of the Champions League, Real Madrid is certainly qualified to be the focus.


    As the most powerful team in the new millennium, Millwall, this encounter that was rated as the battle of the century, is not exaggerated.


    The gimmick is a gimmick after all.


    Aldridge still has to remain calm, actively prepare for battle, and work with the coaching staff to make the players understand the situation, not to be taken lightly.


    On the evening before the war, Aldridge brought the players together at the end of training.


    "4:3, this is the result after 90 minutes, but in the semi-finals, there are still 90 minutes, or 120 minutes plus penalty shootout, although that probability is very low, but this is the reality, I know you are full of confidence, this is very good , But we can¡¯t relax, we can¡¯t think that the current advantage can easily pass, I think Real Madrid has some advantages, first, their strength, when the top 8 confrontation, public opinion fell to the side that Manchester United will beat Real Madrid, but what about Real Madrid 0:0 at home, the situation looks a bit bad, but went to the away? They once led Manchester United 3:0. We now lead 4:3, but if Real Madrid scored two goals after the game started ?We fell behind at 4:5, can''t they do it? Before going to Old Trafford, everyone didn''t expect Real Madrid to do this."


    Aldridge''s words made the players frown.


    They are indeed full of confidence and are optimistic about the prospects for the finals.


    But think about it calmly, Aldridge is not unreasonable.


    The opponent is Real Madrid, Real Madrid who made it to the semifinals at Old Trafford.


    Aldridge continued: "Second, Real Madrid has no worries, there is no hope of winning in the league. It is conceivable that they will play tomorrow''s game as a final. Therefore, if we are not prepared enough, especially psychological preparation In terms of respect, then it is very likely that they will lose to us. We used to have nothing and once desperate. You can understand the situation where there is nothing to lose. In that case, the fighting power burst out is exactly what you used to be. Experienced."


    Aldridge¡¯s words have caused players to be in deep thought. The team¡¯s situation is now very beautiful.


    Nedved stood up and said solemnly to the players of the team: "When we went to Munich last year, we took a 1-0 lead, but in the end we were eliminated. At that time, we were very similar to today''s situation. Today It may be better because we have won the league and the FA Cup has reached the finals, but I think that last year¡¯s defeat, we have a certain factor that we are too good, which directly affects the game, let us be lucky Psychology. Now the situation is that we have enough time to adjust the state, but if we lose the game tomorrow, our Champions League will be over, no one cares about the semi-final team, people will only care about the final, so, We can¡¯t have regrets. Tomorrow is the final of Real Madrid and it¡¯s ours. We must forget Paris now. After tomorrow¡¯s game, let us devote all our energy to tomorrow¡¯s game. At least, we will not have regrets, we will not regret being stunned by our superiority, and we will not relax our vigilance because of our ease.


    Aldridge nodded heavily, and the other players nodded wildly in agreement with the teammate''s words.


    Millwall and Real Madrid''s Champions League life and death battle is on the verge!

 Chapter 500： Battle of life and death

    London is brilliantly lit and Wembley is overcrowded.


    The life-and-death match between Millwall and Real Madrid will begin in half an hour. The players who have warmed up on both sides have returned to the locker room.


    Today, Wembley took the floor.


    In addition to the importance of the event, this will also be Millwall¡¯s last UEFA Champions League game at Wembley. Starting next season, they will play the Champions League at their own home, unless, in the future, Wembley can undertake In the Champions League final, and Millwall also successfully advanced to the final, then the crazy lion will return to this stadium to fight.


    With such a background, fans of the crazy lion almost occupied the entire stadium stands, the stands were rendered into a blue ocean, various slogans and banners fluttered on the stands, and the scene was very hot and it was easy to make the participants excited In a state of madness.


    Aldrich observed the spirit of the Real Madrid team before walking out of the player channel. Their various faces are serious, not to mention the grief soldiers. After all, the lineup is neat.


    "The second round of the Champions League semi-final match is about to take place. Millwall faces Real Madrid at Wembley. The total score is 4:3. Millwall has a great advantage, but this game is not without opportunities for Real Madrid. They At Old Trafford, they beat Manchester United with a score of 3:2. Anything can happen on the football field. Let''s take a look at the starting lineup of both sides in today''s game.


    Millwall 433.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.


    Midfielders: Gattuso, Pirlo, Nedved.


    Forwards: Larson, Henry, Ronaldinho.


    Real Madrid 442.


    Goalkeeper: Casillas.


    Guards: Salgado, Hierro, Elgra, Carlos.


    Midfielders: McManaman, Barack, Redondo, Raul.


    Forwards: Anelka, Morientes.


    In the last round in Bernabeu, Bosque¡¯s 532 formation failed to suppress Millwall¡¯s counterattack and came to the road. He chose to strengthen the midfield control and balance the 442 formation. Will this choice have a magic effect? Observe slowly during the game. "


    Real Madrid has changed, which is not expected by Aldridge.


    Moreover, this 442, just looking at the starting formation, you can guess that this is an asymmetric 442.


    Raul looks like a symmetrical wing-back with McManaman. In fact, this is not the case. Raul will be active in the front waist area, leaving the side to Carlos alone. At the same time, he strengthened the midfield and Carlos assisted. In the future, Redondo''s supplementary defense can also avoid worries. Barak''s B2B coverage will not weaken them because of the lack of a defender.


    Millwall returned to London, Aldridge chose to play his own style, 433, attack.


    Such a decision was that he learned the lesson of Manchester United out. Manchester United got 0:0 on the road and returned to Old Trafford to control the situation on the field. As a result, Real Madrid was directly stunned.


    At the beginning of the game, Millwall kicked off first and then attacked in the opening. In London, the situation was very favorable, and they were all in their favor. They tried to catch Real Madrid by surprise.


    After a smooth pass in the midfield, the ball passed to Larsson''s foot in the right side of the penalty area. He decisively chose to kick the goal, but the ball was missed under the interference of Redondo.


    Aldridge observed Real Madrid''s defensive position this time and realized that the game had a slight deviation from his pre-match situation.


    Bosque really dare to take the risk and change the mature formation play, let Barak join the midfield, in a sense weakened Redondo''s offense, but strengthened Redondo''s defensive mission, and Barak is not That kind of pure offensive player, in the previous defense, Redondo interfered with Larson, and Barak guarded the frontier threat zone in the middle of the penalty area to prevent Millwall players from plugging in.


    When Real Madrid organized the offensive, Redondo added a Barack who could cope with a wide range of activities in the midfield. The two can guarantee that the face of Millwall''s high pressure and Real Madrid''s attack will smoothly advance through the half.


    Millwall''s first offensive formed a shot, Real Madrid''s first offensive was almost destructive.


    Barak distributes the ball to McManaman who was on the sideline. The latter received a diagonal long pass before Zambrotta reached the ball and the ball crossed the top of Millwall''s defender line.


    Over the top straight!


    Raul, Anelka, and Morientes all rushed forward, Materazzi and Southgate immediately retreated after McManaman''s pass, and Schneider quickly retreated to shrink the penalty area.


    Millwall withdrew very quickly, and this over-the-top straight was really over.


    After all, Gattuso and Makelele are not a type of defensive midfielder. His ability to predict is not top, so he lost Raul and he can only fight back when he catches up. Fortunately, he has plenty of energy and can''t die. , Dare to fight and dare to grab, never give up.


    Raul just got the ball on the left in front of the penalty area. He still wanted to go forward to form a single shot, but he cleverly found that he had no room to move forward. Unexpectedly, Millwall''s withdrawal speed was surprisingly fast. This originated from Mill. Wall''s excellent tactical awareness.


    Schneider contracted to block his forward line, Materazzi and Southgate countered Anelka and Morientes, and now they only need to hold Raul, and then they can create an interception for Gattuso. Timing, how long does it take? Only 2-3 seconds.


    Raul unexpectedly passed the ball back, and then he continued to run forward, seeming to do an offside, and behind him, Carlos was the one who followed up to meet the ball. Shen''s long shot.


    Bute flew to save himself, blocking the ball with one hand, the ball refracted, but still flew to the goal.


    boom!


    The refracted ball hit the crossbeam hard and popped.


    The popped ball flew straight out of the goal 40 yards away, one can imagine how powerful this shot was.


    The audience was too late to exclaim and sigh, or wipe the cold sweat. Pirlo got the ball and turned to start a fast break, but Barak had a big foot to clear the ball. He handled it correctly because he was not sure of it. To break the ball and organize the offense, then in order to give the offensive players back time, destruction is the first priority.


    After a threatening offensive between you and me in the opening, Aldridge immediately gestured to the players on the sidelines and used shouting to ensure that each player could understand his adjustments.


    In Real Madrid''s formation today, Millwall can''t use high pressure to rob.


    Raul, Anelka, even Morientes are actually not too slow, plus their midfielders, Redondo, Barack, McManaman, all have a fatal pass ability The role, like the attack just now, McManaman went over the ball without stopping the ball, and then his teammates quickly inserted, the empty back behind the center defender is very big, so if you play this way, Millwall may be beaten. sieve.


    Millwall and Real Madrid have some similar characteristics. In the midfield, there are role players with excellent transmission and control. Especially today, the formation of the Bosque platoon has almost formed a pair. The comparison is that who can suppress the opponent Midfielder.


    Aldrich''s adjustment immediately after the opening offsets Millwall''s advantage at the beginning of the opening, because they have to re-adapt themselves and unify their thinking, which loses the overall outbreak to take advantage of the beginning of the opening.


    After Real Madrid gradually entered the state, the two teams opened the offense, because they were afraid of the opponent''s penetration and the defense line was dragged behind, the midfield zone was empty, and the tacit cooperation between the midfielders was smooth and smooth. The offense advanced to the front line.


    25 minutes before the game, the two teams completed a total of 13 shots, Millwall 7 times, Real Madrid 6 times, the scene is really beautiful.


    Aldrich did not like this situation.


    However, in the face of Real Madrid, Millwall has no advantage of completely suppressing, unless, they are another set of football philosophy: ball control.


    Real Madrid can''t get the ball, then Real Madrid''s offense can not be discussed.


    But that''s not Millwall''s philosophy or Aldridge''s style.


    When there is a 10% chance of making a goal, Millwall will not choose to ignore it, but choose to attack, attack, attack!


    They just want to play a passionate attack in the continuous offensive and defensive transition.


    Therefore, when the scene opportunities are equal, it is difficult for Millwall to say that they have a clear advantage. They can only say that they have equal opportunities with Real Madrid and are evenly matched.


    This requires a higher level of player grasping ability, and missed golden opportunities are unforgivable.


    "Hall showed a rare expression of disappointment and unwillingness on the sidelines. Larson missed an excellent opportunity. The unmarked supplementary shot in the penalty area was higher than the beam. If he is given the same chance ten more times, believe He can score at least eight."


    Aldrich is naturally under pressure. In this situation, the first goal is crucial, and every opportunity is commendable.


    He just stared at Real Madrid''s penalty area with anticipation, watching Larsson unmarked for a supplementary shot inside the penalty area, Casillas had fallen to the ground, Larsson kicked the ball, Aldridge naturally bent down and bowed his head Sorrowful, shook his head slightly when he raised his head again, indicating incomprehensible.


    In the 34th minute, Anelkara went out of the penalty area to shoot a cold arrow at the periphery, and a long shot was saved by Bout.


    Real Madrid received a corner kick. They took a tactical corner kick and suddenly hit the goal. The ball bounced into the net after hitting the ground in the penalty area. McManaman didn''t expect the ball to enter.


    Butt incredulously asked the defensive players: "Why does the ball land!"


    It is taboo for high-altitude **** to land in the penalty area!


    Whether it is a high-ball pass or a corner kick, one of the defensive players¡¯ responsibilities is not to allow the ball to bounce to the ground, to be precise, it must form damage on the landing point.


    Gattuso lowered his head and walked forward. He was shaken by Morientes. The ball flew in front of him and flew back to the goal corner. Morientes made a header ferry, but he did not Did not touch the ball.


    Real Madrid''s players didn''t celebrate the goal and immediately went back to set up their formation and ready to kick back.


    "McManaman¡¯s unexpected goal gave Real Madrid hope to advance to the final at Wembley. If they can guarantee that they will not lose the ball, then he only needs to score another goal to make a comeback and miraculously score. Champions League final!"


    The Wembley enthusiasm was fierce in the stands, and the fans of the Lions had a brief disappointment after the team lost the ball, but soon they worked harder to cheer for the team.


    They know what the team needs more now.


    Aldridge loosened his tie, and then continued to encourage morale on the sidelines.


    At this time, the team must maintain unity of thought, and there must be no division.


    Do we not allow Real Madrid to score goals, or do we use goals to defeat each other?


    If this kind of ideological disagreement occurs, the game is really over.

 Chapter 501： Fighting firepower

    Why is Real Madrid strong?


    Superficially, the players are strong and the lineup is strong.


    In Real Madrid''s starting lineup, players in almost every position are among the top ten, top five, and even the absolute top three like Carlos in the same position in contemporary Europe.


    With such a team, they still need a coach who can turn 11 people into a team. Even though Bosque has not yet led the Spanish world king, his coaching ability is no doubt.


    Is Millwall weaker than Real Madrid?


    of course not!


    Aldridge firmly believes this. Except for the player strength comparison, Millwall may indeed be inferior to Real Madrid in some positions. For example, Carlos will suppress Schneider, and Barak and Pirlo are in the offensive and defensive contest. Everyone wins offense and defends Pirlo.


    But Millwall''s team is more tacit and more team-oriented than Real Madrid. Audridge did not believe that Millwall would lose at Wembley. He never believed that Millwall could not score a goal, Larson. If it was not just a missed opportunity, the score is not 4:4, but 5:3!


    Aldrich was obviously more worried about the differences in player thinking.


    This group of players can also be considered a hundred battles, have seen all kinds of big scenes, playing Real Madrid today, in Wembley, their goal is only one: victory.


    Real Madrid scored a goal, one goal away from promotion.


    Instead, their mentality has changed: strong attack!


    In the 40th minute, Ra¨²l was knocked to the ground in a fight with Gattuso. Real Madrid players collectively complained about the foul, but the referee signaled the game to continue.


    This kind of confrontation is definitely not a foul in the Premier League. In the Champions League, it is between a verdict and a verdict.


    This is Wembley, which is Millwall¡¯s nominal home court. If the head referee is even more harsh on Millwall, this is really unreasonable, especially in the first round, Millwall preached in Fleet Street public opinion. In the case of unfair treatment.


    For Makelele¡¯s handball, Fleet Street agreed that a penalty kick should not be awarded.


    Gattuso made a counterattack after a successful steal. Pirlo was stared at by Barak. Without passing his mind, he passed the ball to his good friend. Instead, he calmly divided the ball to the side, Schneider.


    Carlos just ran to the bottom line when Raul took the ball. At this time, Schneider moved forward and became Carlos chasing behind.


    Schneider inserted the ball in front and drew the ball at high speed. He was relatively empty on the side and did not encounter an interception. After halftime, Carlos came back and he passed the ball to Nedved. Avoid entanglement with Carlos.


    After receiving the ball, Nedved knew that Redondo was beside him, like a viper waiting for him to turn around, and then he could easily cut off his ball.


    Nedved abnormally took the ball back, pulled away from Redondo and knocked left.


    Ronaldinho also didn''t play cards according to common sense, and Nedvide took the initiative to move laterally to the middle without transposing him.


    Ronaldinho took the ball and dribble forward and walked over Real Madrid''s midfielder. Before the penalty area, he saw the opportunity to pass a straight ball and hit Hierro behind.


    The slow-turning Hierro was snatched by Henry, who succeeded in countering offside and saw a chance of a single shot.


    Elgra understands the characteristics of Hierro. Once Hierro is beaten, it is almost fatal, so after Ronaldinho''s ball, he insights into Henry''s diagonal running position and puts Hierro behind him. Hurrying past and stopping to block Henry''s shooting angle.


    Henry realized that Elgra rushed over and he swept the ball across the door without adjusting.


    Since Yero was left behind and Elgra ran over again, Carlos must not be in place yet, so there should be someone on the right unmarked.


    Casillas quickly moved from the left to the right of the goal following the ball''s trajectory. After halfway, he chose to abandon the goal and rushed towards the ball.


    Larson!


    He responded to Henry''s cross-point after the goal, the whole person flew out of the shovel, poke the ball towards the goal with his toes, and the ball got into the goal from Casillas''s armpit.


    "Larson! Millwall''s hero Larson! He didn''t waste any more golden opportunities. He put the ball into Real Madrid''s door. Millwall''s total score is 5:4 and leads Real Madrid again! This goal is very crucial. If Millwall is unable to score goals and Real Madrid seizes the next chance, the situation will be turned upside down. Fortunately, Millwall has a goal machine they absolutely trust, Larson!"


    Aldridge ran two steps after seeing the goal, showing a wild expression and punching to celebrate.


    Indeed, this goal is too important, it is the goal that determines the trend of the game!


    Bosque went to the fourth official and had a conversation. He thought that if the referee gave Gattuso a foul on Raul, Millwall would not have scored this goal.


    Real Madrid players looked the same as usual, once again quickly setting the formation for the kick-off.


    Wembley shouted, the fanatic fans in the stands had already taken off their clothes to celebrate.


    Aldridge applauded the team''s performance, then held his head high and watched the game sharply.


    The first half of the game ended quickly, and neither team created a perfect goal in the last few minutes.


    "The two sides made a total of 26 shots in the first half and hit 11 times in the goal range. I don¡¯t know if this is a manifestation of the two teams¡¯ offensive firepower or the phenomenon caused by the poor defense of the two teams. In short, this is so that we can Forget the first half of the time lapse, a very exciting match, we can look forward to the second half."


    In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Millwall intercepted frantically from the beginning of the second half. After Real Madrid kicked off, he quickly formed an interception in the midfield. Barack did not expect to encounter such huge pressure at the beginning. The players are running, and Redondo''s position is also watched by Henry. He hesitated and the ball was lost.


    Pirlo received the pass from Zambrotta and gave it to Ronaldinho. The latter made a rush on the left and Millwall quickly launched a fast break.


    Henry and Larson completed the transposition in the forward running position and crossed the diagonal position to disturb Real Madrid''s defense.


    Ronaldinho did not entangle with Salgado on the left, nor broke through. After a decisive stop, a diagonal long pass hung the ball into the penalty area.


    Henry came to the back of the penalty area diagonally, and Elgra was not close. Henry faced the ball falling from the air and used the end of his foot to keep back.


    He seemed to have missed the timing of the ball, Larson rushed past the point, and Hierro was also taken away.


    But someone rushed to the top from behind, like a volley from the head, the ball flew towards the Real Madrid goal like a cannonball, and Casillas once again moved to the other side to prevent Henry from moving ahead. Losing his best position, his save didn''t help, and watched the ball fly into the goal.


    The goalkeeper who climbed from the ground roared and rushed to the sidelines, constantly waving his arms to mobilize the atmosphere.


    "Nedved! Millwall''s God of War broke the goal, 2:1, with a total score of 6:4. Millwall looks like a winning ticket. The whole process of this goal is amazing, Ronaldinho Crossing from the left, Henry made the ball back in the middle at the later point. Nedv¨§d scored a header. In the process, the ball did not land!"


    Aldridge finally smiled, 2:1, Millwall''s suspense for the finals began to decrease.


    With a total score of 6:4, Millwall leads with two goals. At the same time, even if Real Madrid scores two goals, it is impossible to advance. Real Madrid must score at least three goals!


    Under such circumstances, does Real Madrid have any hope?


    Yes, at least Aldrich feels that this situation is already too difficult.


    It¡¯s so easy to master a trick, one ball, two balls?


    Aldridge was probably influenced by the joy of being promoted.


    After 13 minutes, Ra¨²l took McManaman''s passing header and ferried to the middle. Morientes'' header was completed and Real Madrid chased another one!


    "This game is very similar to the last one. Millwall entered one, Real Madrid entered one. They did not give up. This fighting spirit is worthy of all Real Madrid fans."


    Aldridge stood on the sideline with a big wave, firmly letting the team continue to attack.


    Just as he didn''t expect Bosque''s lineup today, he also didn''t expect Real Madrid''s will to be so tenacious.


    Yes, the master is over, and the victory is between a few centimetres.


    The encounter between Millwall and Real Madrid on Mars hitting the earth was doomed to be not a discussion between the two cautious people.


    If it was said that the match with Juventus and Bayern Munich was to catch the opponent''s flaws on the basis of mutual restriction, then today it is the two teams that fully release the offensive firepower to carry out the fierce fighting, who is stronger, decide by the number of goals.


    In this extremely fast-paced game, the two teams played apart, and the fans in the stands as the game time became less and less, they were not as free and indulgent as before.


    Fans of the mad lion are praying that Real Madrid can no longer score.


    Really if 2:2 becomes 2:3, Real Madrid only need one ball to qualify for the final. At this time, the pressure will fall completely to Millwall.


    Real Madrid fans are simply thinking: scoring!


    You guys, score goals again!


    Anelka got an excellent opportunity in the penalty area, but was saved by Butt with a single palm, Anelka held his head in disbelief!


    If Millwall is the best performer on the court today, it must be Bout so far.


    His high and low gears have solved many dangers. This is not to say that he has made many world-class saves, but that he has played more stable than usual, and can bring unexpectedly excellent performance.


    The scene became fierce, and every opportunity for both sides could form a goal.


    Aldridge began to think about whether to adjust his strategy through substitutions.


    Gattuso worked very hard, but after all he lacked experience in this level of events, so he can never replace Makelele. Even at Wembley, he and Pirlo could not restrict Raul + Barak from forming in the middle. The impact of the force forced Nedved to spend more time on defense.


    Millwall started to make substitutions, and Audridge let Lampard and Neil warm up.


    When the two warmed up, Aldridge walked over and prepared to give the two personally the task after the game, the scene changed suddenly.


    He saw Lampard and Neal''s eyes looked at the field, which made him feel tight, and immediately turned his head to look away.


    The scene he saw made his pupils shrink.


    Zambrotta took the ball through the half, and then handed the ball directly to Henry, who was originally holding the ball from the back, but the lateral pull started the ball burst, completed the turn during the lateral movement, and pulled out the shot. The angle, followed by a burst shot, shot a erratic shot.


    The ball flew from left to right towards the goal. There was an arc falling in the air, piercing Casillas'' ten fingers, and hitting the net inside the far post.


    The goal is scored!


    3:2, total score 7:5!

 Chapter 502： The last craziness

    Aldridge saw Henry hit the ball and suddenly couldn''t control his emotions. He rushed towards the corner flag area at the other end of the court, where Henry roared and ran to celebrate.


    The promotion to the Champions League final is indeed a time when Millwall once again hit the Champions League championship. This is brilliant and belongs to the whole team.


    At the same time, this is also the opportunity for Aldridge as coach himself. It is his glory and he will make his name even more shining.


    Under such stimulus, how can Aldridge not be excited?


    "3:2, 7:5 total score! Henry''s goal has caused Real Madrid to suffer a huge blow that may not be able to bear! There are 13 minutes left in the game. They must score at least two goals to see the promotion to the Champions League final. Dawn, do they still have a chance? Wembley is already boiling, the fans of the crazy lion are indulging in singing, Henry, the impeccable shooter this season has further stabilized his position as the leader in the Champions League. This is his A season of perfect performance, but he certainly is not just looking forward to gaining personal honor, he will hope to go to Paris and take the big ear cup on the land of the motherland!"


    Aldridge hugged Henry''s neck in the crowd and repeatedly shouted at him repeatedly.


    "I said! You will be the top striker!"


    "You will be a great shooter!"


    ...


    Henry touched Aldridge''s forehead, also showing a grim smile.


    Perhaps, in Henry¡¯s first years, he passed Aldridge twice, but in the era of Henry¡¯s rise, Millwall also reached a new height due to chance, his injury, special Rezeguet''s transfer resulted in a series of meetings between Henry and Audridge in Millwall.


    Aldridge''s transformation of him has trained him to become a fearsome killer in Europe. This is the story of their apprenticeship.


    At the end of the celebration, Aldridge waved his arms to the stands and then pointed at Henry while walking towards the coach seat.


    Before Real Madrid kicked off, Millwall''s substitution list has been submitted.


    But at this time, Aldridge decided to change the substitution strategy.


    Real Madrid are two goals behind, and if they don''t give up in the end, Millwall will have more chances to fight back. He hopes Pirlo will continue to play a role.


    At this time, maybe Pirlo''s straight foot is equal to a goal!


    He let Neal play first, replacing Nelson.


    Although Larson scored a goal today, he did not reach his best state, wasting a golden opportunity, and at the same time, he also occasionally performed abnormally in grasping other opportunities.


    However, Aldridge will not be too harsh on him. He changed to another level of striker, perhaps not in the state, that is, the whole game is down, Larsen can score, which is worthy of praise.


    With Neal playing, the Millwall team received a signal that everyone knows how to play next.


    However, just after the game started again, there was an amazing turn on the court.


    Real Madrid''s offensive advances to the penalty area. Barak directly chose a long shot in front of Neal. After the ball flew out, it obviously ran to the left of the goal, whether it was within the goal range or outside the range. I don''t know.


    Bout moved to the left of the goal and the ball was broken halfway.


    Neil stretched his leg to block, the ball''s trajectory changed, but it still flew towards the goal, the speed slowed down, Bout was so sweated by the accident, stopped the car and moved to the other side of the goal, but he was still slow In one step, the whole person flew out to get the ball out of the goal line, and the ball was rescued by Southgate.


    The referee''s whistle sounded, his finger in the circle, indicating that the goal was valid.


    "It''s crazy! Real Madrid scored another goal! Now it''s 3:3 and the total score is 7:6. If Real Madrid scores another goal, the total score will be 7:7. Real Madrid''s away goals will be After tying Millwall, the two teams completely returned to the same starting line. This goal has a certain amount of luck. If Barak''s long shot is unblocked, the ball will either go out of bounds or it will be saved by Bout, but Neal After blocking, he changed direction and instead rolled into the goal. From the replay we can clearly see that Bout did get the ball out of the goal line almost half a meter across the goal line. This goal is not controversial."


    Barak didn''t celebrate, turned and trot back into the backcourt without expression, maybe because Real Madrid was still behind, maybe because he used to play Millwall.


    For the first time, Aldridge commanded the game on the sidelines for the first time and produced a near-collapse or crazy mentality.


    At this time, he is probably like Manchester United captain Keane after the 5:4 reversal of Millwall this season, incredible!


    why?


    why?


    Why can''t Real Madrid be stepped on its feet?


    Why can''t you bow your head obediently!


    3:3, 7:6.


    If Real Madrid scores another goal, Aldridge believes that the balance of the game will start to lean completely towards Real Madrid.


    Because the pressure will destroy Millwall''s will, it will inevitably remind players on the field of a scene that fell to Munich last year.


    Aldridge closed his eyes. He knew that at this time, what he needed most was calmness.


    How to do?


    Offense?


    But when Larson was replaced and Neal was replaced, Pirlo''s physical fitness was close to running out of light, and the defense just now, instead of Neil stretching his foot and making a big mistake, it was better to say that Pirlo stood still Failed to play the role of defensive gate.


    Wrong, it''s Aldridge!


    He knew this very well, and he shouldn¡¯t have been greedy just to let Pirlo stay on the court, dreaming of fighting Real Madrid easily.


    Pirlo did play an incomparable decisive ability when he counterattacked a large area, but as his physical fitness declined, his problems in defense also became a fatal weakness.


    Aldridge wanted to make up for this error, he immediately replaced him, replaced Pirlo with Lampard, and at the same time made Lampard play with instructions.


    Tell the team that the defensive counterattack!


    Resolutely implement the changes they received when Neal was on the court.


    Aldridge can''t change things in the near future, let the team defend and attack for a short time, this is the practice of self-destructing the Great Wall.


    Since Neil ordered the whole team to strengthen the defense when he was on the court, even if he lost the ball and the situation became less optimistic than before, the first thing he had to do was to make the team''s tactical thoughts firm and unified, without any disturbance.


    If he loses the game in the end, the responsibility is all Aldridge''s.


    After Millwall replaced Pirlo with Lampard, they completely built a new steel wall in the middle defense.


    Gattuso, Lampard, Neil, Nedved, none of them are tough guys!


    Real Madrid can''t open the attack in the middle, so they must rely on the wing, but Millwall took the initiative to play a defensive counterattack. Real Madrid''s attacking number is not dominant, so their side defender Salgado also pressed Assisted at the winger position.


    85, 86, 87, 88...


    As time went by, the situation on the field was sticking together. Both Bosque and Aldridge stood on the sidelines. Both understood that the final suspense of the game was: Can Real Madrid score a fourth goal.


    If possible, Real Madrid has a huge psychological advantage whether it is playing overtime or a penalty kick.


    The situation is not too bad for Millwall, as long as they don''t lose the ball, they will definitely advance to the final.


    In the 89th minute, Raul ran all the way from the left to the middle to answer. McManaman crossed, Raul headed, but the distance was too far, Bout easily caught the ball, he held the ball in his hands and raised his head forward He glanced at it, then strode the meteor forward and rushed directly to the edge of the penalty area before struggling to throw the ball with one hand and throw the ball to the frontcourt.


    Real Madrid desperately oppressed the attack, and the players in the middle and front courts were all pushed up. At this time, the middle and back courts were empty. Bout''s hand threw a ball across the arc before the middle circle. people!


    Yes, because no one was there, Bout dared to throw the ball so risky.


    Henry received the ball and turned to take the ball and stride forward with a dribble. Only Elgra and Yero were in front of him.


    Ronaldinho''s starting position in the middle line ran forward when he counterattacked.


    Elgra and Hierro defended Henry one after the other, but Henry decisively passed the ball in front of Elgra diagonally to the left. Unattended Ronaldinho took the ball and exploded across the Hierro''s defense line.


    All Wembley spectators stood up involuntarily, as if they could see the pictures on the court more clearly.


    The narrator has started crying frantically.


    Casillas abandoned the door, although Ronaldinho had not yet entered the penalty area, but Casillas had no other choice, Hierro turned slowly, and the recovery speed did not seem to be as fast as Ronaldinho¡¯s dribbling speed, right 32 Year-old veterans can''t be more demanding.


    If Ronaldinho enters the penalty area and then adjusts the shot, Casillas thinks it must be a goal loss.


    Ronaldinho drew forward expressionlessly. On the line of the big penalty area, he noticed that Casillas had abandoned the door and had rushed out half the distance.


    Ronaldinho stopped the ball and flicked the ball horizontally. The swing with a small movement range shot and the ball was rubbed from the inside of the foot.


    Flying with a strongly rotating ball from the ground, under the eyes of everyone, this ball seems to have the magic of slowing the passage of time.


    Casillas gritted his teeth, struggling to touch the ball with his fingertips, trying to change the trajectory of the ball.


    However, his hand, which seemed to touch the sky, was 30 centimeters away from the ball, close to the horizon, the ball crossed the top of Casillas in a wonderful arc, and the face of Casillas looked back, He closed his eyes in despair.


    The ball hits the back net after entering the goal, rubs against the net during the rotation, and stops right after the ball hits the ground.


    Wembley erupted from the mountains and shouted like a tsunami!


    "4:3! Total score 8:6! Ronaldinho used a shot from the end to help Millwall lock the victory! Real Madrid has no time, unless they can score two in the stoppage time The ball, this is unlikely, really unlikely, they have been creating hope for a miracle, but they are all ruthlessly killed by Millwall, Ronaldinho did not celebrate with samba, what is he doing? Like Praying."


    Ronaldinho turned and walked close to the sideline after scoring a goal. Before the group of teammates rushed up, he knelt on Wembley''s turf on one knee, kissed his right hand on his lips, and then put his hand on the turf. Then draw a cross on your chest, and finally hold your head up with your fingers.


    The whole process of this scene became a classic picture. Ronaldinho personally explained after the game that he likes Wembley, but the days when the team played in the Champions League at Wembley are over. In the two seasons when he became the team¡¯s main force , He had a wonderful memory in Wembley.


    That''s right, his first team match was played at Wembley, although it was not the European War, but the FA Cup final.


    Real Madrid''s generals were lonely, and in contrast to Aldridge on the sidelines and the players on the bench to jump and jump to celebrate wildly.

 Chapter 503： Dynasty is coming

    "Hall used the last substitution and Real Madrid also removed a defender and replaced a forward. It seems that Hall feels that the game is not insured, and Bosque has not given up, time, and stoppage time. 3 minutes."


    Aldridge replaced Pedretti, withdrawing Ronaldinho, allowing Pedretti to stand on the right side of the road and form a barrier in front of Schneider.


    Now he is not afraid of Real Madrid''s slow-moving cuts and will not give them the patience to cooperate in the backcourt. What he is most worried about is Barak. Carlos'' unreasonable sudden long-range shot fired and flew and turned into a deviation. It doesn''t matter if the corner kick is taken, but if the long shot does not go out of bounds, it is easy to create chaos.


    Don¡¯t look at the game, there are still 3 minutes, but Aldridge did not relax, or that the shocking aftermath of Bayern Munich¡¯s loss of the championship in the last two minutes last year did not go away. At this level of the game, the top coaches did not dare to completely rest assured.


    Millwall attacked for 80 minutes and began to play anti-counterfeit in the last 10 minutes. Even at Wembley, no Lions fans felt that this was a problem. Instead, they felt it was Aldridge¡¯s advantage, and they were not stubborn.


    All Millwall players and coaches came to the sidelines, whether they were supporting the team or preparing for the finals. At this moment, the fans in the stands also stood up. The fanatic fan organization members sang their songs and danced together. Wembley''s atmosphere pushed to a new climax.


    Everyone thought that the last 3 minutes would be Real Madrid''s mad attack scene, but in fact, in addition to a wave of forward offensive after Real Madrid kicked off, the ball rights have been controlled by Millwall at other times.


    Millwall took a risky pass in the backcourt in a small area, using running to avoid Real Madrid¡¯s crazy siege. When the fell foot could not fall and most Real Madrid players pressed very close again, Millwall again A big foot drove the ball to the frontcourt, then Real Madrid played a high ball in the backcourt to go to the frontcourt, Millwall grabbed the landing point, and began to fall again...


    When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the match, Wembley burst into cheers.


    Most of the backup players and coaches on the side of Millwall rushed into the court, and the players on the court also roared with fists and passion.


    "4:3, total score 8:6, Millwall beat Real Madrid with the same score in two rounds, headed into the Champions League final this season, congratulations Millwall, this is an amazing achievement, they are the second in three years In the UEFA Champions League finals, and in their three seasons in the Champions League, the worst result is the Champions League semi-finals! Audridge Hall, the legendary young master, he led the mad lion Millwall to create New history, we are fortunate to have witnessed him show such a magnificent grand scene in football in this era. Now, we can expect what kind of wonderful performance Millwall will have in the finals, leaving those eternal moments in the green In the Temple of Yin."


    Wembley clamored, Real Madrid''s white fluttering soldiers collapsed on the court, and Millwall generals rushed to embrace and celebrate, and began to exchange shirts with Real Madrid players.


    Nedved and Redondo, Ronaldinho and Raul, Bout and Casillas...


    At the end of the game, Aldridge suddenly had no incentive to celebrate, but instead his whole body was like a collapse, as if standing on the spot would require a lot of effort.


    Now Millwall is no longer poor, and with the rapid improvement of the club''s strength, their record must be guaranteed.


    Didn¡¯t the outside world put pressure on Aldridge?


    Of course there is!


    This is a team rated by the European media as one of the top lineups in Europe. It is the team with the most aggressive offensive fire this season and the most stable state.


    Although this is a team created by Aldridge, the accompanying pressure is unavoidable. It is natural to reach the semi-finals. It seems reasonable to advance to the finals. The strong should laugh to the end, but if you can¡¯t do it, Will be laughable and generous, the head coach will become the target.


    Fortunately, I did.


    Aldrich looked up and looked straight from the top of the stadium to the night sky. The clear night sky was dotted with stars. This is a beautiful scenery.


    When he took back his eyes, the fans in the stands were reluctant to leave for a long time, and Millwall should say goodbye to Wembley. From now on, Wembley will no longer be Millwall''s Champions League home.


    Aldridge walked on the court, embraced the players, and then played with the players in a neat and orderly row. He walked to each stand and bowed and applauded the fans in the stands.


    Thank them for their support during the two years.


    At the same time, Aldridge also thanked the FA in his heart.


    In England¡¯s greatest stadium, Millwall¡¯s influence over the past two years of the European War has brought credit and attention to this stadium.


    On the contrary, income is second.


    When Aldridge retired with the players, almost all Millwall players were shirtless with a Real Madrid jersey on their shoulders.


    At the scene of the press conference after the game, Aldridge was late, but all the reporters were waiting for him. No one was irritable. On the contrary, everyone could not help raising a respect in their hearts.


    The 24-year-old Aldridge is about to lead his team to the Champions League final for the second time. This achievement is absolutely unprecedented.


    Fleet Street feels this is the pride of English football, Aldridge is also their greatest asset in contemporary football.


    Aldrich seemed to be drained from his body, and his body was full of exhaustion while relieved.


    He appeared with a smile on his face, neither publicizing nor overjoying, as if he was not disappointed.


    The reporters congratulated Aldridge and asked him what he thought of the game.


    "As you can see, this is a contest between the strong. Millwall and Real Madrid all played extremely high-quality games. Some voices before the match thought that Millwall advanced to the finals is a breeze, but the fact Yes, when the game started, Real Madrid advanced a ball, the game has been in a state of stalemate, no one minute can be easy, no one minute game suspense disappears, even if Ronaldinho gave us the lead at the last minute It turned into two goals, but no one would be surprised if Real Madrid finally turned over, because the game is such a trend, fierce, cruel, every minute and every second, every inch is possible, every opportunity is possible to rewrite the score, this game against Milwaukee Seoul is very valuable, it tells our players that victory will not come to their heads actively, what will happen on the football field in 90 minutes? Don¡¯t assume, don¡¯t be deceived by illusions, this is very important to us, such Experience is not something that ordinary games can provide. I am very proud. We beat Real Madrid and can make a second impact on the European Champions Cup."


    ...


    The two-round match between Millwall and Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals ended.


    "4:3, 4:3, 8:6, 180 minutes, 14 goals, Millwall advanced to the final!"


    The Times used such headlines as the headlines of the competition.


    "Millwall and Valencia meet in the Champions League final!"


    "Daily Mail" began to look forward to the final.


    "Hall looks forward to the mad lion dynasty coming to Europe!"


    "The strongest voice in UEFA: Lion Roar!"


    ...


    The major media have focused their attention on the Champions League final prospects.


    At this time, from the perspective of the team''s strength and public opinion, Millwall has become a favorite to win the championship.


    Even if Valencia eliminated the Spanish giants Barcelona, ??but no one is optimistic about them.


    On the contrary, while the Spanish media cheered for Valencia, they also began to disturb Millwall''s preparations.


    "Aspen" published photos of Ronaldinho and Raul shaking hands after the game. In the photos, Ronaldinho has worn Raul''s white jersey on his shoulder.


    The Spanish media began to gain momentum, bewitching Ronaldinho to put on a white noble shirt and become a member of Real Madrid.


    ...


    Millwall entered the rhythm of preparing for the Champions League final after this game.


    The club was calm, and the 36th round of the Premier League followed.


    Originally, this game will be full of smoke in the usual time, but now, this game seems to have no meaning.


    Manchester United will face Millwall at Old Trafford.


    This season, Manchester United is destined to be the runner-up of the Premier League, but the reason is not that Manchester United has performed poorly, and the outside world will not put too much pressure on Ferguson.


    He was very calm at the pre-match press conference, and he said with some helplessness: "There are still three rounds in the league. Manchester United now has 81 points. In exchange for the previous season, this score can either ensure that we have won the league championship. Either with three rounds remaining, Manchester United will certainly have the initiative to win the championship, but as you can see, Manchester United¡¯s ranking this season is unlikely to change, we will win the Premier League runner-up for four consecutive years, this is A frustrating result, but I think Manchester United should correctly understand the current situation. First of all, we must realize that to win the league title in the Premier League, we must pay more. Second, we should not be discouraged, Millwall. It¡¯s a champion. Manchester United should compete with them in the future. If we can beat Millwall in the future, such a victory may be more gold than the previous champion. It is more worthy of our pride and pride."


    Ferguson''s "spoken truth" monologue was a bit bleak.


    The last league title of the Red Devils was traced back to the first season of Millwall''s promotion. In that season, Manchester United won the final round and Millwall was the runner-up.


    For the next four years, Millwall champion, Manchester United runner-up, Arsenal champion, Manchester United runner-up, Millwall champion, Manchester United runner-up, this season, Millwall successfully defended three rounds in advance, and Manchester United, with 81 points, left The third place Arsenal had 18 points, but still only got one runner-up.


    Millwall¡¯s progress in these two years cannot be ignored. They threw away 12 points from the Champions League last season. This gap may be widened because the league did not end and they threw away the previous season¡¯s Premier League champion Assen. A shocking 30 minutes!


    In addition to points, what is Millwall proud and proud of?


    This season''s winning streak, plus the end of last season to today, they have created 45 unbeaten league games!


    In addition to the three years of record in the European War, Millwall is now only the last step, the second Champions League title in three years, then, there is no doubt that the entire UEFA will no longer doubt, Millwall opened A dynasty of an era!


    They are ruling European football!


    This phenomenon has made England fans very tangled.


    In the Premier League, they have such a strong team and such a talented head coach, but why is the England national team about to be ripped off as a strong team?

 Chapter 504： Renew in two years

    In the 36th round of the Premier League, Old Trafford''s attendance fell by about 10%, against Millwall.


    Maybe it''s because Manchester United''s season is over and they are all empty.


    Maybe because Millwall will definitely send a substitute.


    Perhaps, the Red Devils fans don¡¯t want to see the team line up at home to welcome their biggest competitor in the league today, but also lose to this opponent.


    Millwall sent a full bench to play. When walking out of the player channel, Manchester United players stood in two lines to welcome.


    Such a scene is rare. The biggest opponent competing for the championship welcomes the other party at home. It seems to be peaceful. The cruel reality behind it can only be felt by the party.


    Manchester United players are extremely bitter.


    In the 35 rounds, they scored 81 points. This is the season in which the Premier League has restructured 20 teams and 38 rounds of the league. They have the highest score in a season, which proves their progress. But the league has not ended yet, Millwall snatched the championship.


    When the Millwall players come out, the Red Devils will begin to applaud, but this applause is obviously not given to this batch of Millwall substitute players. Many Red Devils players involuntarily cast their eyes on the sidelines and walked to Ferguson¡¯s side. Aldrich.


    That man, step by step, made the mad lion strong, and then stepped on Manchester United. At least, when Millwall won the league title in the past four years, the biggest competitor was Manchester United. Perhaps this pattern will continue in the future.


    Ferguson has already lost this season and once again lost. At this time, he did not wince at Aldridge. The two Premier League coaches stood on the sidelines and chatted lightly.


    At this time, Ferguson probably thought about Wenger.


    What secrets does Millwall have to train so many good players?


    Ferguson wasn''t someone who wanted to dig Millwall. Looking around, who else could Manchester United dig? Find a partner for Stam? Left back? Goalkeeper?


    It is not the tradition of Manchester United to rely solely on digging people. Ferguson hopes to achieve the improvement of Manchester United''s youth training level. At this point, Millwall is like no other in Europe.


    Therefore, the topic of the two people chatting on the sidelines is the youth training. Aldrich is not secretive, and the long talk is endlessly saying that what to observe players, targeted training, and teaching according to the aptitude are actually familiar theories.


    When Ferguson couldn''t hear it, Aldridge chuckled and walked back to the coach''s bench to sit down.


    There is no record pressure in this game. As for the undefeated golden body publicized by public opinion waiting for Manchester United to break, Aldridge does not care much.


    However, on the bench, Manchester United is the main force, there is a gap between the strength of the two teams, Millwall is obviously a weaker side, so it is reasonable to play targeted defense.


    The game was very exciting, Beckham opened the first record, Cole went to the next city, before the end of the first half, Vicente assisted Lampard to pull back a goal.


    In the second half, Manchester United seemed to be trying to control the situation on the field and wanted to fight Millwall to counter, but Millwall took hold in limited opportunities. Klose and Glenchard''s goals almost helped the team overturn Manchester United on the road. In the 75th minute, Scholes scored a goal for Manchester United at home.


    Aldrich could see that the Red Devils were a little absent-minded in this game. I don¡¯t know if it was too heavy for the four consecutive years that the blow from the league champion was too heavy. Ferguson got angry on the sidelines. Before the game, he also vowed that the Red Devils would not be discouraged, and the result was completely different in the game.


    Although Millwall played off the bench, they did not want the team''s undefeated gold body to declare an end in their game, so they worked hard.


    The audience score is 3:3.


    Millwall retired at Old Trafford.


    Then Millwall finally ended the intensive schedule of a week of double matches.


    In May, Millwall officially held a press conference, and Yiwen presided over this press conference to promote Millwall Champions League finals.


    Compared to Millwall¡¯s launch of two promos two years ago, there is only one this year, and it is still in the form of animation and reality.


    The content has continuity with the animation promo two years ago.


    Two years ago, a blue male lion symbolizing a mad lion ran to Amsterdam, the Netherlands, to end the picture.


    At the beginning of this year''s promotional video, the blue lion was sleeping soundly in the forest, and next to his belly was a silver ear cup with the 1998 year engraved on it.


    The male lion was suddenly hit by the light. After opening his eyes, he looked up dimly and looked in a direction. The light flashed in the distance, and another big ear cup vaguely appeared in the air.


    The lion started a new journey, defeating one enemy after another on the road, but the picture turned, the blue lion set back from a city scarred, and in the city behind him, a German tank was on the wall Drive around.


    Defeat Munich!


    This is the story of the Champions League last year.


    However, the injured blue lion honed himself in the forest again. Once the camera turned, the male wind was revived and he moved towards the Champions League again.


    At this point, the picture will be interspersed with Millwall¡¯s wonderful goals in the two-stage group stage this season, slashing AC Milan, defeating Lazio, defeating Bayern Munich, killing Real Madrid, when the series of goals feast ends After that, the screen changes again.


    The mighty blue lion stepped on a new piece of land, and the ground trembled. The scene behind it was very dim, the blue eagle fell in the sky, the white giant collapsed, and the German chariot fell apart. The wheels rolled alone.


    There is a strange creature on this land, a group of chickens... Gaul rooster flapping its wings and jumping because of the ground shaking.


    This group of Gaul Rooster Center is a brand new European Champions Cup trophy, silver glittering in the sun is really beautiful.


    The blue lion walks forward step by step. Every step, the surrounding Gaul rooster jumps. The scene is very dramatic. Just after the Gaul rooster separated a road, the special effect rendering seemed to pass through the blue lion full of magic. When the sky suddenly heard a sound, the lion looked up at the sky, like a huge dark cloud moving quickly from the sky, covering the sunlight, making the whole earth dull and dull.


    When the dark cloud was seen from far and near, it was very clear, it was a group of countless bats, with red blood in the eyes, this group of bats hovered over the Champions League trophy like a huge tornado, and then Teams began to dive down, aiming directly at the Champions League trophy.


    The blue lion clapped the ground, the Gaul roosters fled, and a roar of the lion roared through the sky.


    As soon as the picture is dark, three large characters appear in the center of the screen.


    2000-5-24


    UEFA Champions League Final


    Millwall vs Valencia


    In the end, the figures of Millwall players and coach Audridge collectively appeared at the bottom of the screen.


    Although the production cost of this video has been reduced compared to two years ago, the effect is very good, and it has been widely praised after promotion.


    Millwall doesn''t have to be full-bodied to make a promotional film, they just want to visualize and concretize some of the things in their impressions so that they can make money.


    It is like the blue male lion in the picture. Two versions of Millwall souvenirs were sold very hot two years ago. A young blue lion and a grown lion, children under ten years old They all like it, and female fans also like it.


    If these clubs do not take the initiative to materialize them, how can their symbolic meaning appear out of thin air?


    Is it true that a lion dyed blue would represent Millwall? Who fool!


    But the official promo video, club souvenirs, and merchandise on the shelves are different.


    Fleet Street ridiculed Millwall: Millwall can switch to filming.


    This promo became popular in England and became more popular than it was two years ago, because Millwall has more fans.


    filming?


    Aldridge really thought about it, but instead of shooting a personal biography, but shooting the Millwall Club, this can become a part of Millwall''s commercial promotion, bringing wider visibility and benefits to the club.


    Millwall was ready to prepare for the battle, and Audridge worked according to the order. In the penultimate round of the Premier League London Derby, he let all the main players play in this game, and the closing game was left to the bench, away from the Champions League final and the FA. Cup finals, they will have a rest period of more than 10 days, and then play two finals a week.


    In the match against Tottenham, Millwall is in good shape, especially Larson''s further recovery. This is good news for the team. The only worry is that the Makelele Champions League final will not be reached.


    Millwall eventually swept Tottenham with 4:0 and continued undefeated. At the same time, the points in the standings also reached 97 points. If they can win the opponent in the final round, they will eventually win the record with 100 points. This will also be the new record of the five major leagues, with 20 league teams as the standard.


    There is only one game remaining at the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium, which is the final game.


    Therefore, after the game, the team will thank the fans for longer than before, and Audridge also took a group photo with many fans.


    Just one day before the closing game, Audridge discovered that some employees were absent from the day''s training, their fitness coach Ms. Fiona.


    So he called to ask and got a terrible news.


    Fiona accidentally fell off the stairs at home last night and suffered a broken bone and had to undergo surgery in the hospital.


    After the training, Aldridge bought a bunch of flowers to visit the hospital on behalf of the club. Furthermore, he worked with Fiona for many years, and there are still working friendships, especially under the premise that the team is about to open for the Champions League final. Every staff member should enjoy the glory of the club together, but she may not be able to go.


    Arriving at the hospital, Aldridge walked outside the designated ward. After knocking on the door, he heard the sound of entering. He pushed the door in and saw Fiona lying on the bed with a man sitting by the bed. It should be Her husband, the man who runs the farm in the country, and a girl sitting on the bed, swaying two snow-white long legs and observing Aldridge curiously, suddenly smiled and said: "I remember you, Hall Mr!"


    "Rosie, don''t be rude."


    Fiona scolded her daughter on the hospital bed, but Aldridge didn''t remember the little girl. He shook hands with Fiona''s husband, and then put down the flowers, and began to talk to Fiona, asking about his illness, and giving condolences.


    Before leaving, Aldridge handed over five tickets to Fiona, saying: "Everyone in the club wants you to go to Paris with us, even if you are in the stands, but if it is not possible, Don¡¯t force it, health comes first.¡±


    Fiona was also frustrated and sighed regretfully: "There should be great difficulties, and I also want to be with the club, Aldridge, can I please you one thing?"


    "Huh? What''s the matter? Just say, I can promise you as much as I can."


    Fiona''s eyes turned to her daughter, the little girl who made Audridge a little bit against her heart.

 Chapter 505： Carefree

    When leaving the hospital, Aldridge saw a small tail behind him.


    "Aldrich, why do you ignore me?"


    Fiona''s daughter Rosie pouted her face with dissatisfaction.


    At the age of 13, she came to London with her father because of her mother''s accident. She could not go back to school to see what she looked like, and she should be at the age of rebellion.


    Fiona asks Aldrich that things are very simple. I hope the club can help her take care of Rosie. She promised her daughter to treat her to Paris. It is convenient for the club to watch the Champions League final.


    Now that she is hospitalized with an injury, she still needs surgery, and does not want to disappoint her daughter, so she asked this matter to Aldridge.


    Aldridge was still a little impressed by the little girl, especially the last time she came from the countryside alone and the Millwall Club was blocked by security.


    In addition to her mother, Rosie only knew two people in London, one was Aldridge and the other was Yiwen who took her to visit the club.


    In the hospital parking lot, Aldridge got into his car and waited for a long time to see Rosie into the car. He came out of the car again and saw the little girl sulking with cheeks on the other side of the car, no Xie Di spread his hands and asked: "I invite you to dinner, isn''t this what you just asked?"


    In the ward just now, Aldridge had just promised Fiona, and Rosie climbed up the pole, spoiled Aldridge, and knocked for dinner.


    Rosie stared at him angrily, saying, "You hate me!"


    Aldridge closed his eyes and smiled helplessly, shaking his head.


    "You just hate me!"


    "No."


    "I can see that you hate me. I don''t want to be annoying. If you just compromise because of my mother, then I will go back now."


    Aldridge was convinced, and the little girl had a keen insight.


    It''s just exaggeration.


    compromise?


    Aldridge just helped, and he didn¡¯t plan to be a nanny himself. After dinner, he planned to throw her to Yiwen. If Yiwen didn¡¯t like it, she would just throw it to the female workers in the club.


    He opened his eyes and looked at Rosie, and nodded: "Well, you are not outrageous, but it should be precisely, in you, I can''t see the quality that makes me like it, hate? Can''t make it, you are right I am not a special person."


    Rosie opened her arms and asked aloud in doubt: "Why? The last time I saw you, you didn''t have that attitude."


    She was obviously taller than the last time she met, her body developed, she also had makeup on, she knew how to dress up, and at school, I didn¡¯t know how many boys took the initiative to talk to her.


    Aldrich was happy, with his arms on the roof, and slowly said: "Then can you tell me, do you think you are like this, should a lot of people like you? At least, I see young people like this, I don''t want to watch it again To the second glance."


    At the age of 13, she was wearing a navel shirt, denim shorts, and the makeup on her face looked fashionable, but it did not match her age at all. The non-mainstream is true. If there is another explosion, uh, Killing Matt is quite an image.


    Rosie looked down, she couldn''t see the problem, but in the countryside, she was synonymous with the trend, not grotesque, but she definitely had her own personality, and the entourage of the female friends around her was envious.


    She felt that Aldridge was talking nonsense, so she straightened up: "You are just looking for reasons."


    Aldridge covered his face with tears and laughed, and then smiled at her: "Okay, get in the car and go to dinner with me, you will know how many people appreciate you or don''t want to see you like this."


    Rosie got into the car obediently this time.


    Aldrich took out his phone and texted Yiwen before driving.


    Rosie surveyed Aldridge''s cell phone while leaning her neck, then pulled out her cell phone and started to play mini-games on the phone, and also released the sound.


    Aldridge turned his head and found that the little girl had some smug expression in her expression and had a sense of ostentation.


    Aldrich was really amused by her and asked, "Are you despising me?"


    "Yes, who else is as old as you are now."


    "Huh? Just because, I use an old-fashioned cell phone, and you have a color screen cell phone in your hand?"


    "This is the birthday gift my mother gave me half a month ago, is it pretty?"


    She played the mobile game as a drunkard. She flaunted it in plain words, showed it to Audridge specifically, and told Audridge by action: you are outdated!


    Aldrich didn''t know if it was this era, the young girl at this age had this kind of psychology, anyway, he didn''t continue to entangle her with her words, it was too cheap.


    When he was used to using his mobile phone as a handheld computer, is there a big difference between a color-screen phone and a black-and-white phone now?


    He drove Rosie to a low-grade restaurant in the city, and Rosie, who was next to Aldridge, entered the restaurant and became the focus.


    Her dress made the eyes of many guests who dine in amazement.


    It seemed silently saying: Is this where she should come?


    Even if no one stipulates what grade of restaurant, the guests must have what grade of dress.


    But people are all about face, and the rich man wears flip-flops to eat, whether it''s a pig or a tiger, or a pen and a pen, he finds contempt and sees it differently.


    Rosie felt the sight of the other guests and seemed a little scared. She approached Aldridge and grabbed his hand, while some young female guests were about her age or a few years older than hers. In contrast, those People''s dress is very normal, maybe you can''t see any personality or trend, but the visual sense is very comfortable and natural, as if it is silent in the spring.


    After the two sat down, Rosie lowered her head and asked Aldridge: "Is my image really annoying?"


    Aldridge opened the menu and leisurely said, "Why don''t you hate to say you are a passer-by? If you know someone, anyway, I see that I can''t feel like it."


    His words made the little girl lose her appetite.


    She fell into a great loss, Aldridge sighed softly after the dinner and raised her eyebrows with a smile.


    After all, the relationship with Fiona¡¯s colleagues is very good. Her daughter was hit hard because of a few truths. Perhaps, he just hoped that the beautiful little girl he saw for the first time could maintain his original appearance.


    Out of the hotel, Aldridge drove to West London with Rosie, who was silent and frustrated and frustrated.


    Rosie was really like a little tail bowing down to follow him, and he was not afraid of being sold to the trafficker by the uncle.


    When she came to the door of a women''s clothing store, she raised her head and looked up, questioning: "What are you doing here?"


    "Give a birthday present."


    "But my birthday is half a month away."


    "It turns out that you are really a brainhead."


    Aldridge suddenly felt ruled out of her non-mainstream dress. In fact, the little girl still kept the simplicity.


    Rosie followed Aldridge into the store. Aldrich asked the waiter to take her to wash off the makeup on her face, and then he picked out a dress.


    When Rosie washed off her face, she went to the dressing room and put on the snow-white dress that Aldridge chose for her. Standing in front of the mirror, she looked surprised and looked at the beauty in the mirror incredulously.


    Aldrich stood behind her with her hands on her shoulders and smiled: "Look, it''s a very ordinary dress, but it''s beautiful when you wear it. Isn''t that good? If you have to dress strangely, it''s a mess. Yourself. Look, you look like an angel now."


    Rosie was really a beautiful embryo, looking at herself in the mirror for a long time, and the tall man standing behind him.


    Aldridge did a good job in the end, and picked up a pair of black women''s sandals in the store, and after she put them on, the whole person looked new.


    After paying the bill, Aldridge felt that he had done something good and took Rosie away from the women''s clothing store.


    For half an hour, her mood suddenly came to heaven from hell, sitting in the car with a smile on her face, sweet and pure.


    On the way back to the car, Aldridge concentrated on driving, and Rosie suddenly rushed from the co-pilot''s seat. He wanted to kiss Aldridge on his face and startled Aldridge.


    He almost turned the steering wheel and got into a car accident.


    Parked on the side of the road, Aldridge asked incredulously, "What are you doing?"


    Just a few seconds ago, Rosie settled down and said, "I just want to kiss you, thank you."


    Aldridge looked baffled and said, "You almost let us have a car accident! Thank you? No, I said, I gave you a birthday gift. Er, do you all like girls in the country? Thank you for kissing me A moment, especially for different surnames."


    "No, of course not! I just want to kiss you, this is my first time to kiss the opposite sex."


    Aldridge stared at her, and she stared boldly at Aldridge.


    "Where do you want to kiss?"


    "face."


    Aldrich touched his nose. He was really kissed by many opposite sexes. In addition to fans on the court, in many public welfare activities, young girls under the age of 12 are used to kissing his face, and he has kept it. A photo of a pair of 6-year-old twins kissing his cheeks from left to right. It is a simple and beautiful memory. Nature has nothing to do with sex.


    "Okay, then kiss me."


    Aldridge put his face together. He didn''t think it had anything to do with the love of boys and girls. At least, if he wanted to kiss the opposite sex, would he kiss his face?


    "No kiss."


    Rosie seemed to be holding a grudge against Aldridge just now.


    Aldridge was embarrassed, okay, he was a little shameless.


    But the little girl really loved her face, and she clearly did it wrong, but she did not want to admit it.


    Aldridge started the car again, and Rosie was in a bad mood again. She turned her head and looked out the window.


    It seems that she messed up a lot of things today, and what she wanted to do repeatedly, the effect was quite different from what she had imagined.


    Fiona is considered to be Aldridge¡¯s neighbor, but far away. Aldrich drove the car back to the community and stopped in front of Fiona¡¯s house. He looked at the house and found that there was no light in the apartment. Ona''s husband will accompany her in the hospital.


    Rosie plucked up her courage at this moment, and then went over to kiss Aldridge''s cheek, but Aldridge just turned her head to prepare some questions for her: did she have the key to the apartment? Don''t get into the house.


    But he just turned his head, and he and Rosie were facing each other, and their lips were stuck together...


    Rosie''s eyes widened, and a small face quickly turned crimson.


    Aldridge also widened his eyes to reveal an incredible look. He immediately withdrew his head and opened his mouth slightly to speak.


    Rosie grumbled in aggrieved voice: "Why are you turning around? I just want to kiss your face!"


    She didn''t give Aldrich the opportunity to explain, holding the shopping bag and pushing the door to get off, trotting towards Fiona''s apartment, but halfway through, she turned around and ran back.


    "you¡­¡­"


    Aldrich hadn''t asked for the exit yet. Rosie bent down in front of the car window, blushing and said quickly to Aldrich, "It was my first kiss, good night."


    She turned around and headed home again. This time she stopped running and walked.


    Aldridge watched her pull out the key in front of the house and opened the door, and closed her eyes silently and sighed: She has the key, what the **** do I do!

 Chapter 506： Final indulgence

    On May 14, the 1999-2000 season ended in the English Premier League.


    Millwall sat at home against Milton Keynes, who was determined to be relegated.


    The lion''s cave stadium with a capacity of less than 20,000 was fully occupied, and the stands of the entire stadium were rendered in dark blue.


    This is the last game of the Millwall first team team at the Lion''s Cave Stadium.


    The competitive significance of the game itself is directly ignored, because Millwall has won the championship in advance, and the opponent is determined to be relegated.


    All members of the Hall family arrived and watched the battle in the box. The guests of the FA Football Awards also arrived as scheduled. Today, the rare temple in the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium is visited by many great gods.


    The Puskas were invited to the box, drinking wine with Arthur and waiting for the game to start. In the VIP seat, Yi Wen and Rosie also waited for the game to start.


    Rosie glanced at the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium. In fact, she was not a true fan. She knew football, but she didn¡¯t know it. According to her sensory impression, it seemed that the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium was shabby, unlike the three-tier double-decker inside the magnificent stadium The stands and seating facilities are almost similar to public stadiums.


    But today she feels a fanatical atmosphere unique to football here.


    The singing echoed in the stadium, without stopping for a moment, the song sung repeatedly by fans of the crazy lion fans was Millwall¡¯s team song: No one likes us, it doesn¡¯t matter!


    Perhaps it¡¯s best to say goodbye to the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium with this song that belongs to them.


    In addition to the singing, the biggest shock to her was the scene on the stands. Half an hour before the start of the game, starting from the south stand, a huge portrait began to pass on the stand. The center was Aldridge, behind him There are all the first-team members of Millwall. This huge portrait is completely hand-painted, depicting the character''s expression to life.


    Fans are completely entertaining themselves, using their own way to say goodbye to Millwall¡¯s Lions Club Stadium era.


    When the players from both sides started to enter the field, every time the field staff shouted the name of a Millwall player, they would get huge cheers from the fans on the stand of the Lion''s Cave Stadium.


    "This season''s final battle may not have much impact on the entire league. The three relegated teams will be generated in advance before the final battle. The championship, runner-up and third runner-up of the league will not change again. Perhaps the biggest suspense is the league Who will be the fourth place, whether it is Leeds United or Liverpool, this last Champions League qualification winner, will be born between the two teams. For Millwall, they have won the championship in advance, today is more like holding a game Ceremony, bid farewell to their historic Lions Stadium, next season, they will move into the new stadium, usher in a new era, at the same time, if they win the game today, their league points will reach a record 100 points, score The number of goals, the number of goals conceded, the number of goal difference, has almost set a new Premier League record."


    The players on both sides are ready to kick off, and Millwall here except Henri''s starting game, the other main players are all on holiday, ready to meet the FA Cup final and the Champions League final.


    Henry has no suspense in winning the English Premier League Golden Boots. Compared with other European league shooters, he won the European Golden Boot Award, but he still insists on starting in this league and wants to increase his number of goals as much as possible. .


    Aldrich met his requirements at the cost of the FA Cup final, and Henry could only sit on the bench.


    Aldridge was more relaxed today. He sat on the coach seat and chatted with Klinsmann, sometimes smiling.


    Milcaton Ens has been relegated and has no resistance at the Lion''s Cave Stadium. Most players on the field are thinking about their future. The club will be relegated from the top league. There will definitely be a big move in the summer.


    In the 17th minute, Millwall broke the deadlock, and Glennall opened the opponent''s gate with a long shot.


    No one doubts that Millwall will encounter Waterloo in this final battle. After all, in addition to sports, Millwall is more aggressive than the visiting team.


    Everyone wants a perfect ending. Say goodbye to this stadium with a victory. This is what these players want to do.


    Millwall scored three goals in the first half and directly killed the game.


    Henry scored one and Ramore also scored one.


    In the second half, Henry scored twice with a penalty kick, refreshing his league goals to 38 goals.


    When the whistle sound at the end of the game starts, the score displayed on the scoreboard is 5:0.


    "Congratulations to Millwall, they have played fantastic games this season, the league has remained unbeaten in 38 rounds, 31 wins and 7 draws and scored 100 points, the total number of league goals reached 113, only one difference can reach the field With an average of 3 goals, and only 18 goals conceded at the same time, this is a division of the offensive and defensive tough king. It is unbeaten in 48 games across the season and may continue to refresh the record, making them the most watched team in Europe. No one, no one! They are now the focus of the entire European football talk! Premier League striker Wang Henry played 36 times this season, scoring 38 goals, the efficiency reached more than one goal per game, which is perfect, he also Also ranked first in the Champions League scorer list, considering that the final opponent Valencia array does not threaten his shooter king player, there is no doubt that Henry will harvest the league this season, the Champions League, the double best shooter! Fans of the mad lions don¡¯t have to be sad. Farewell to the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium is not going to darkness. On the contrary, it is Millwall who continues to create a new starting point for the dynasty!¡±


    None of the fans at the scene got up and left after the game. They stood side by side and jumped and jumped in the stands. Many people took pictures with digital cameras, and many people raised their slogans again.


    Millwall''s off-field players walked into the field, and the live footage recorded Larson and Henry''s embrace.


    The two of them scored 38 goals and 29 goals. Unfortunately, Larson ended up under Phillips'' 30 goals and ranked third in the shooter list.


    However, Millwall''s two strikers joined together to score 67 goals in the league. If Ronaldinho''s 16 goals were counted, Millwall''s Trident scored a total of 83 goals. This data will also be Forever in history.


    Hiller, Sutton''s SAS combination became famous, and now people only need to remember Henry + Larson''s invincibility.


    Since the team still has two finals to play, there is no celebration to win the championship. It will only be celebrated on the spot today. When they return home today, the players will have to readjust their status to prepare for the FA Cup and the Champions League. finals.


    Aldrich and Klinsmann, Jenson walked into the court, first thanked the fans for their support, and then the three people were like old fritters that had stood in the field for a long time, standing together and chatting with ease, waiting for the FA to award.


    When Southgate won the Premier League championship trophy, fans on the scene shouted loudly, the momentum rushed to the sky, echoing the champion''s song in the stadium, and the fireworks were scattered in the stadium.


    Aldridge was invited to take a group photo with some of the players¡¯ families, and when Arthur took Burt and Earl into the stadium, Aldridge trot to take over the two sons and kissed their faces. , And then let them support the side of the Premier League trophy from left to right, two little guys wearing tailor-made Millwall jerseys, after taking a photo, they crawled and played on the grass.


    Nephew Bowen ran over to participate, and automatically entered the role of "Big Brother", looking after two "brothers" under one year old to avoid accidents on the lawn.


    After Aldridge just embraced with Andrew, he suddenly saw Ronaldinho holding a blackjack. It is estimated that the players just opened champagne to celebrate.


    Ronaldinho had a smirk on his face and walked towards Aldridge obviously with bad intentions.


    Aldridge shook his head slightly at him, smugly smugly: this come again?


    There is no doubt that Ronaldinho wanted to pour all the wine on him.


    Aldridge turned around and ran, but he just ran two steps, his face stunned.


    In front of him, Southgate and Materazzi took the lead and held a 30-cm tall blackjack with a grin and blocked his way.


    Aldridge turned around and ran to the left. As a result, Larson and Henry also blocked his way with many teammates.


    Aldridge is like a trapped beast with no way to escape, and the "door" on either side is closed.


    No, he didn¡¯t run anymore, but turned his head and looked to the right. Gattuso and Pirlogo blocked his way. Ronaldinho and Ramall and others bet on the gap, Aldridge was alone. Standing in the middle, Millwall''s players circled.


    This scene made the fans in the stands laugh.


    Many fans whistled and cheered while laughing.


    "Boss, I love you!"


    Nedved confessed to Aldridge seriously, and then, without mercilessly holding a black glass on top of Aldridge, a full glass of wine, no, that wine glass is too big, just like a normal bottle of wine There is no difference in capacity.


    Aldridge was drowned without resistance, but he didn''t expect it to be just the beginning.


    "Boss, I love you!"


    Uh...


    "Boss..."


    Wow...


    Aldridge could hardly hear the outside voice, the wine was in his ears, the whole person was soaked, and the image was unprecedented!


    In the laughter of the players, they fled.


    Aldridge wiped his face and just took off his suit. At this time, fans who didn¡¯t know where to enter the scene grabbed the suit in his hand, and some people even took off his shirt. Aldridge was almost on the belt before he was rushed into the field by avid fans.


    After the security guards caught the fans who rushed into the field, Aldridge had lost his upper body. He didn''t know whether he should be angry or laughing, his expression was helpless, but he couldn''t help smiling.


    Although he is not a player, he also has a strong physique. The eight abdominal muscles that once drove Melanie and the beautiful upper body are displayed in front of the audience. Aldrich has not taken two steps before he immediately Besieged, the photographer on the sidelines filmed him...


    Ewen and Rosie walked into the field when they presented the award, staring at Audridge from afar, and Ewen smiled softly. It seemed that watching Audridge would be satisfied, and Rosie looked weird. .


    "Yi Wen, he is sitting on the coach seat chatting today, why is it so popular now?"


    At least Rosie thinks that in football matches, players are the focus.


    Yi Wen whispered softly: "Because you don''t understand football, so you don''t understand his world."


    Millwall set a series of records this season, Aldridge has no need to show off the sidelines, he is the best coach of contemporary Europe.


    And the players who are the best in the team, can they be so brilliant after leaving Millwall?


    According to the text, it is not necessary to assume that it is not necessary. Anyway, the mad lion will continue to be glorious because there is Aldrich here.


    The carnival at the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium continued into the evening, which was the last time for the team to indulge the players.

 Chapter 507： Five years of nightmare

    Surprisingly, the sales of major newspapers such as the Times the following day were higher than some lace tabloids.


    Although these major newspapers focused on depicting Millwall¡¯s victory celebration, and Liverpool¡¯s loss of the forefront at the bottom of the league¡¯s fourth-place Bradford, Leeds United won the league fourth in the away draw and won Seats for the UEFA Champions League next season.


    However, their content of the war report reviews, including the review of the Premier League season and other articles, are no match for a photo of the lace tabloid.


    Aldridge has never taken a photo, and his naked photo of the upper body of the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium was published after special effects processing. The text describes what is not important. In short, the sales of tabloids have increased significantly.


    Aldridge is also helpless, not to mention privacy violations, especially tabloids are mostly written in a decent article, that is, citing his photos to earn sales, the effect is surprisingly good, of course, most of the pay is definitely Is a female reader.


    Millwall started preparing for the FA Cup final.


    In his training, Aldridge reminded players to first forget the Champions League final so that they can play well in the FA Cup final.


    If the whole team is thinking about the UEFA Champions League final, then it is likely to miss each other, and because the FA Cup plays first, once the FA Cup final loses, its impact will spread to the Champions League final four days later.


    In the FA Cup final, Chelsea started to disturb Millwall. Viali believes that Aldridge''s coaching level is admirable, but this season is not fair to the players.


    "I don¡¯t know what lineup Millwall will send, even if Hall¡¯s own words are not trustworthy, everyone knows that he will lie to confuse opponents, but if he sends the main lineup to face the FA Cup, I think this Unfair to other Millwall players, Klose, Glennall, Ramall, Lampard, they are the biggest heroes of Millwall''s FA Cup final, Larson Nedved Yes, they are stronger, but they didn¡¯t play for a minute or even a minute before the FA Cup, but they made it in the finals and won the heroes. People don¡¯t remember the real heroes, I¡¯m talking about Lampard, Glenn Charles."


    If Viali''s remarks are spoken by neutrals, it certainly sounds reasonable.


    But from his mouth, everyone understood what it meant.


    Disturbing the enemy, maybe, a little timid.


    In five years, Millwall has not lost against Chelsea since he set foot in the Premier League, and has achieved an overwhelming win rate.


    Viali''s remarks caused a boom on Fleet Street and received a lot of support.


    This is a common occurrence. Fleet Street is not absolutely inclined to Millwall''s position. Once they can create a greater public opinion effect at the right time, they will stand on the opposite side of Millwall without hesitation.


    This wave of public opinion will inevitably affect Millwall, but Aldridge chose silence.


    He is not the team¡¯s nanny, he is the boss, the coach.


    Thinking is something players should do themselves.


    Essentially, Aldridge maintains a collective interest, not a certain player, and he is not insisting on giving Pirlo the honor, Larson, playing the finals, the strongest lineup, wrong?


    If the bench players are unbalanced, then their mentality is not correct.


    They are the same group who are out of the League Cup, and they are also the finals to advance to the FA Cup, but it is undeniable that Millwall did not face too many challenges on the way to the FA Cup promotion. The biggest opponent he met was Arsenal. The main force let them out of the League Cup, the bench played off the bench, Millwall FA Cup pass.


    Only playing Aston Villa in the semi-finals is a particularly wonderful performance. Others still have problems and the result is a win, but they should pay more attention to their own exercise value.


    Moreover, if the eyes are only on a trophy, huh, what can such a player expect?


    It¡¯s so lucky to be on the road to defending the FA Cup this year. It is inseparable from the withdrawal of Manchester United. Manchester United this year¡¯s league is stronger than in the past few years. The league points will not be deceiving. If they participate in the FA Cup, they will most likely be Wall met, either in the finals or on the way before.


    Unfortunately, in January, Manchester United was pointed at the head by the FA with a "gun", forcing Manchester United to abandon the FA Cup and fly to Brazil to participate in the first FIFA World Cup held by FIFA.


    Manchester United have played in the Toyota Cup, but are still forced to participate in the World Cup, so they must withdraw from the FA Cup.


    At that time, FIFA also invited Millwall, Aldridge directly refused.


    The teacher has no name!


    The Champions League champion is Manchester United, and Millwall was only the champion of domestic competition last season.


    The reason why the FA secretly threatened Manchester United must go to Brazil to participate in the World Club Cup, the root is that the FA believes that England must have a team to appear in this FIFA event, and then please the FIFA to host the 2006 World Cup for England Increase chips.


    According to Andrew, he informed Aldridge afterwards that the reason why the FA did not put pressure on Millwall was because the England national team had no coach at the time. The FA was afraid that he could not find a coach before the European Cup started. It''s the best person for emergency, so I don''t want to stalemate the relationship with Millwall, and as long as England has a team to join.


    As a Millwall player, it must be both rational and ambitious.


    Aldrich didn¡¯t talk to the players. Some words were better than words. Being open and honest would only embarrass things that were unspoken and change the atmosphere of the locker room.


    This is a competitive environment. It is important to recognize oneself and measure oneself.


    The point is not whether they can play in the finals. The point is whether they are qualified enough to be better than their teammates in the same position and get a starter with strength.


    Maybe Fleet Street wants to see Millwall''s backup players "getting started", but the rebellion has not happened, and there may also be factors that caused the Van der Mede incident to happen soon. Millwall is calm.


    May 20.


    The FA Cup final was staged at Wembley.


    Coincidentally, today is Aldridge''s 24th birthday.


    Today, two years ago, they won the first UEFA Champions League trophy in club history. Today, Millwall players still hope to reward themselves with a trophy, and at the same time use it as a gift for their success.


    At Wembley, Chelsea wore a traditional dark blue jersey and Millwall wore an away white jersey.


    Aldridge has always stood on the sidelines, playing Chelsea, he does not need to adjust the tactics too much, because knowing the other party well, Viali is difficult to create problems for Aldridge at the tactical level, like the Bosque transformation has no headaches. appear.


    Millwall controlled the midfield, the player''s ability to pass and control, and steadily dominated the situation on the court. They were mainly forced by high pressure while defending. This set, they also reached the point of perfection.


    The only shortcoming is that center, Klose still can¡¯t replace Henry. He needs to keep up with the dazzling rhythm of the main lineup''s offensive pass. He seems a bit difficult. After the opening, he has a lot of opportunities, either running slowly, or It''s just that the timing is not appropriate.


    Henry sat on the bench and steadily got the English Premier League and European Golden Boots. If there is no accident today, Aldridge is not going to let him play. In the last two rounds of the league, the main players have a rest period. Only he insisted on playing in order to fight for the number of goals.


    Viali watched the team''s formation become more and more backward, and the counterattack became weaker and weaker. This scene is familiar to him. In the past two years of confrontation with Millwall, his team did not take any advantage in the midfield.


    Like Chelsea, they often attack Manchester United, but they always take the lead in Arsenal and Millwall, because Manchester United midfielders are sometimes empty, and Arsenal and Millwall, midfielders will not give opponents any chance to pass through and penetrate successfully. At this point, Chelsea do not have the advantage and fight for their personal ability. Their players can make a difference in addition to striker Zola. Other points, one-to-one win is not high.


    In the 34th minute of the first half, Schneider set the edge and made a bottom pass. In the half-height pass from the bottom line, Chelsea created chaos in the penalty area. Deseli made a save and hit his own player. Larsen picked up the leak and sent the ball into the goal.


    "Millwall advanced the ball unexpectedly! Chelsea''s overall strength is far away from Millwall. At this time, talking about tactics is slightly pale. After all, comparing the players of the two teams in the same position will naturally tell everyone who is stronger. Side, while the Premier League champion, the 48-time undefeated record creator, their skills, tactics, mentality, game experience, etc. are stronger than Chelsea. Although this goal seems unconvincing, it has an absolute advantage. The score is leading, which seems natural."


    Fans of the crazy lion in the Wembley stand shouted loudly, waving Millwall¡¯s flag and shouting wildly.


    The Chelsea fans of the Blues collapsed.


    Suppressed by rivals, suppressed!


    This scenario has lasted for five years!


    Five years!


    Who will rescue them?


    Especially in these five years, this is the third time they met Millwall in the finals where the championship trophy was decided. It seems that today will be their third runner-up in front of Millwall.


    This really made the Blues fans collapse.


    Crazy Lions fans don¡¯t want that much, just like they have been suppressed by West Ham United for most of the past 100 years. When West Ham United¡¯s great captain became the legend of England, who thought about Crazy Lions fans?


    Who cares about the weak?


    Aldridge turned his head and glanced at Viali after the goal appeared. The other side closed his eyes with his hands and he seemed to sigh for a long time.


    In the 44th minute of the game, Ronaldinho dribbling laterally in front of the penalty area, just passed a Chelsea defensive player, and was suddenly shoveled from the side and back.


    Aldridge saw this scene on the sidelines, especially after seeing Chelsea¡¯s jersey number of the shovel player, he immediately shouted to Schneider who was closest to him in the court: ¡°Go! Put Ronaldinho and the opponent Separate! Don''t let him conflict with each other!"


    Schneider immediately ran to the place where the incident occurred.


    Aldridge was expressionless. He saw that the shoveling player was the bad boy Wise. Ronaldinho stood up after falling down, but I don¡¯t know what Wise said when he got up at the same time. Ronaldinho really talked to each other. Scolded, but Ronaldinho did not touch each other in physical movement.


    Ronaldinho thought that I was going to play in the Champions League final. Fortunately, he was not injured by the shovel. He naturally paid more attention to protecting himself. When Wise put the shovel, he jumped to hide and fell to the ground. This is not diving, but self. protection.


    Diving is to win fouls under the opponent''s non-foul behavior. Ronaldinho''s action is to avoid injury. Is he just waiting for the opponent to kick on his leg?


    But Wise just satirized that he was performing just now.


    Ronaldinho exploded Mao this time, and knew that the other party was not a good bird, theory? Reasonable use of farts!


    As a result, the two of them simply talked swearing against each other, face to face, their noses were less than 5 cm away from each other, and the scene became daggered.

 Chapter 508： 6 years 11 crowns

    The conflict between the players of the two teams on the court directly spread to the stands. There was a **** outbreak of fanatic Millwall fans. They yelled at Chelsea fans. They eventually developed into a melee in the stands.


    Male Gobi!


    Crazy Lion fans can''t tolerate Wise''s behavior, and no one can touch our Ronaldinho!


    Even if Henry scored so much this season, Ronaldinho''s position is far above Henry in the eyes of fans.


    From the start of Ronaldinho''s blockbuster in the previous season, every transfer period has a team to seduce him. There are many scandals from the giants, but Ronaldinho took the initiative to respond positively to dispel the doubts of the fans and always swore allegiance to Millwall.


    Coupled with the background of his youth players, his position in the minds of fans is gradually rising.


    Fans love the team and support the players, but they are never blind.


    They know that the loyalty of some players is bought with money, and the loyalty of some players is born in their eyes, which is more expensive than the two?


    And Wise, a British bad boy who is beyond the name, the impression that the inferior spots are all the more exciting to the crazy lion fans in the stands. Whether he is intentional or unintentional, anyway, in the eyes of the crazy lion fans, he is deliberately Find fault!


    Maybe it was the purpose of shoveling Ronaldinho.


    On the field, the players of the two teams gathered at the place of the incident. Klose pulled Ronaldinho forward. Larson pointed to Wise and warned seriously. Di Matteo also opened Wise and found that the old man Pirlo was standing in front of him. , So the two simply talked in Italian, and Pirlo shrugged and shrugged, seemingly unable to understand Wise''s behavior.


    As a technical player, he is afraid of being fouled. After all, he does not rely on his body to fight against eating. In this respect, it is easy to lose money. Of course, Pirlo also hates Wise''s behavior.


    When Schneider ran forty meters to the point of the incident, both players had been separated, but Ronaldinho was still a little indignant, and Klose persuaded him to hold his head and attack Wise on the other side.


    "Hey, boss, let me pass a message to you, let you calm down, don''t be fooled."


    Schneider''s "false preaching of the decree", the effect is quite good.


    Ronaldinho turned his attention to the sidelines and saw that Aldridge was arguing with Viali and realized that his boss was taking his place on the sidelines. Instead, he quelled his anger. He knew that Aldridge risked being caught by the FA. The risk of punishment went to the Chelsea coach seat.


    In fact, Aldrich didn''t mean to give Ronaldinho his head. At least he was not that kind of passionate youth. The players lost money on the court. He waved his fists off the court to find the players back.


    He felt that it was not rude to come and go. Viali released words before the game to disturb Millwall''s military heart. Now he will do a gift.


    So he went to the Chelsea coach seat and ridiculed unscrupulously: "No way? Is this the only way? It''s ugly! Vialli, I won''t win, I will admit it, you are not the first The Chelsea manager who lost to me will not be the last one. If you lose, can''t you be honest? As a man? Or does Bates give you an ultimatum? If you don''t win, you will get out?"


    Aldridge''s words caused the anger of all Chelsea coaches!


    All the anger was overwhelming, and they all rushed out, bustling the fourth official next to them, and even the sideman rushed to maintain order, trying to separate the two parties.


    Aldrich no matter what the Chelsea people screaming in opposite directions, he just squinted with a contemptuous smile, even though the fourth officer pressed his chest backwards, he still held his head upright, a stern look. .


    The referee finally quelled the player''s conflict on the court and gave Wise a yellow card to warn, but he did not immediately restore the game. Instead, he ran to the coach of Millwall and solemnly warned Aldridge if Aldridge Stepping over the border again, going to Chelsea, or suspected of provocation, he will be sent off with a red card.


    Aldridge seemed to take the referee''s words as a whisper, and didn''t look at the referee.


    In fact, what he said just now doesn''t matter at all. What matters is whether Viali''s current mood, current reason, can still remain calm.


    The riots in the stands were quickly quelled by security personnel and the game resumed.


    Millwall''s direct free kick in the frontcourt, right in the front of the penalty area, is a good position for direct attack.


    Ronaldinho stood in front of the ball reluctantly, and his determined eyes told everyone that he was going to hit Chelsea with a goal!


    Chelsea set up a good wall, tightly stitched together, unless Ronaldinho can play a beautiful deciduous ball around the wall, otherwise, it is very difficult to score.


    Ronaldinho approached and gently moved the ball horizontally in front of the ball.


    The walls of Chelsea all jumped up, and when they jumped up, these people''s eyes were full of incredible.


    On the ball''s rolling trajectory, Pirlo bombarded the goal without stopping the ball. His angle was very good. He played a slash from the front, which was exactly the goal area behind the wall, and it was the goalkeeper in the free kick. The other side when defending the position, the farther side.


    De Huye struggled to save, but the ball still flew into the goal, the angle was not too tricky, but it was impossible to save, the distance problem, if Ronaldinho directly hit this point, it is absolutely impossible to enter, then it will be blocked by the wall. Out.


    "Aha, Millwall''s free kick matched the goal, Ronaldinho cheated Chelsea, he gave Pirlo a comfortable position assist, Pirlo did not waste opportunities, he was ready to make a final decision, it seems before He and Ronaldinho negotiated that they would play like this, well, they are so cunning!"


    After scoring, Pirlo turned to Ronaldinho, the two raised their hands at the same time, and then the two crossed their fingers and grabbed together on the top of their heads, and then their foreheads smiled against each other.


    Other teammates ran to celebrate with their high-five.


    Millwall has scored two goals, but neither of them celebrated wildly.


    They are suppressing and want to release, wait for the Champions League final to release!


    What about the FA Cup final in a single game?


    In their minds, there is no unbreakable city gate, no unbeatable opponent, the champion, it should be ours!


    The score did not change in the first half. In the second half, Millwall directly used two substitutions.


    Ronaldinho and Pirlo end.


    Grenchar, Lampard.


    In addition to the purpose of protecting them, the removal of the two main forces is also a consideration for preparing for the Champions League. After all, the two goals lead.


    Four days later, there will be a heavier final, the FA Cup final, 45 minutes in the second half, Aldridge simply let the team fight back.


    Aldrich¡¯s instructions to the team are clear and clear: the Trident does not return!


    In the midfield there are Makelele, Lampard and Nedved as defensive barriers in front of the back line. Chelsea see how many people are needed to break through.


    Chelsea is 442. In other words, if they only rely on midfield and frontcourt, they are 6 to 7. With the team and personal ability relatively inferior, Chelsea''s offensive in the second half can''t be threatened.


    Viali was probably really angry, and he made the full-backs press up too.


    As a result, Aldridge felt relaxed.


    Probably, Viali has forgotten how Manchester United was pulled back by Millwall in the 4:2 lead to complete the reversal.


    If Aldridge is determined to face all the enemies with a trifling defense, he believes that he can play the invincible hand all over the world with the cards in his hand, but this is not his pursuit, nor is Milwall¡¯s style. In particular, this style is destined not to survive for a long time, because the sport of football will never refuse to attack football, but it will definitely criticize utilitarianism or passive football.


    Chelsea fought three waves of offensive and found nothing. In the 61st minute of Millwall, Glencharr rushed into the left and blasted the opponent''s entire back line. The backcourt was empty, and he simply used a change of direction in a wide space. Accelerate, change direction to accelerate, one trick to eat all over the sky!


    It was just that he wasn''t sure about the last blow. Dehouye blocked the ball and moved to the middle of the road. Larson just caught the ball and came to the pass. Klose calmly pushed the goal without a mark. Successful in the far corner.


    "3:0, Millwall has locked the victory, they are about to complete another record, the same season defending the Premier League champion and the FA Cup champion!"


    The Chelsea were lost and Aldridge was struggling.


    The last substitution, who will come to rest?


    Nedved or Larson?


    After glancing at the bench, he finally decided to let Vicente play for Nelson. At least Nedved¡¯s body will not be easily injured, and his physical fitness should be no problem. With three goals in hand, Nedved himself You will realize that it''s time to close.


    Less than 70 minutes into the game, Millwall ran out of three substitutions, but three minutes after Aldridge¡¯s third substitution, Klose was knocked down by Deseli in a counterattack, and the referee found two At the same time, people are pursuing a reasonable collision, even if the slow motion shows that Deseli tripped Klose, but the referee did not find it.


    Klose sprained his foot this time and was unable to stick to the game. Millwall was forced to fight one less.


    Aldridge frowned slightly, this situation really hit the head coach.


    But he was not very worried about the game. It was nothing more than defensive pressure. After all, Chelsea played one person, and the pressure on the back line was relatively reduced. He could attack more boldly.


    After all, it is Millwall''s main lineup. He is determined to defend, without a little magical skills, it is impossible to easily destroy Millwall''s defense.


    Millwall is one less person and the situation is more passive, but Chelsea also has no good way to create an excellent scoring opportunity, so he can only shoot frequently from the periphery.


    In the 82nd minute of the game, Chelsea made a corner kick from a long shot, and then Deschamps pulled back one through the corner kick. They all wanted to make persistent efforts, but their goals ended.


    When the whistle at the end of the game ended, Wembley Stadium suddenly sounded an orderly shout.


    "Aldrich, happy birthday!"


    This is probably something that the Lions fans have discussed before the game.


    In May, the harvest season, it seems that every game can make Aldridge remember for a lifetime.


    In the cheers of the fans, all the members of Millwall walked into the field, hugged and celebrated among their teammates, and then applauded. They seemed to be much more convergent than the day when the league won the awards. After all, there will be a more important event after four days. The finals are waiting for them.


    Aldridge looked indifferently in front of the royal box aisle and talked with the FA''s chairman Thompson, then smiled and watched the players win the championship.


    In the sixth year of coaching Millwall, this FA Cup is the eleventh important trophy he has won.


    Putting the medal in the suit pocket, Aldridge spread his hands flat and gave a high-five to the fans on both sides when walking down the stairs, which was a celebration.


    There are already fans shouting the Champions League, the Champions League.


    Aldridge ignored it and walked to the court. He looked at the players who took the trophy and took a photo with one hand. He silently said in his heart: Champions Cup? Need to say? Of course, it is necessary to grab it back. Millwall and my second Champions League have an extraordinary meaning.

 Chapter 509： Fight for selfish desires

    On the eve of the UEFA Champions League final, Yi Wen took Rosie to Paris, went shopping on the Ottoman Boulevard, madly showed the nature of women, and went to do beauty in the evening.


    Women, there are a lot of clothes, but they always feel that they have no clothes to wear, and they are already in good shape, but they still feel imperfect. Whether their faces are ugly or beautiful, in short, they are not beautiful enough.


    Millwall flew to Paris the next day after winning the FA Cup. Three days before the final, one day off, one day to prepare, and the final day, the final battle!


    When he was about to enter the Champions League final for the second time, Aldridge was a lot easier. The team played a lot of finals in recent years. The champion got a soft hand. Players regardless of age and geometry can at least handle the tension on the eve of the war. In response to pressure, the team has been preparing for a stable game since arriving in Paris, and there have been no mobs.


    All European media flocked to the crowd. At the press conference before the Champions League final, Aldridge talked freely, without any pressure.


    "Of course, we certainly came for the championship trophy. No one will be satisfied with the runner-up when they reach the final. The Triple Crown? We have achieved the Triple Crown before, and if we can replicate this year, it is indeed greater than the last time. , My players are ready for this moment."


    When he was asked about the impact of Klose and Makelele''s inability to play, Aldridge said frankly: "The lack of Makelele has a great impact on the team. I will not deny this, but I think Gattuso has ushered in his moment, withstand the pressure, and play his due level, then he can make an unparalleled contribution to the team, I trust him, and his teammates also Trust him. Klose was injured a few days ago and was unable to enter the bench. This is a major loss to us. He was very frustrated. I comforted him and told him that he is still young and there must be a chance in the future because we are one A strong team. As for this game, we have three players who can play as forwards in the bench, including Glenchar, Ramall, and Villa. I think we can handle all the difficulties in the game."


    When talking about his opponent Valencia, Aldridge was very happy and laughed: "In the final, I think it is no longer important who is the hottest. After 90 minutes or 120 minutes, the winning side is the strong and loses. Even the weak, Valencia didn¡¯t make it to the final by luck, and they looked much easier than our promotion to the final. We fought 180 minutes with Real Madrid in two rounds. They played 4:1 at home in the first round. The score ended the suspense, and their opponent is Barcelona, ??a team that performs better than Real Madrid in the league. Valencia has many excellent players, Mendieta, Herald, Lopez, etc., and one An excellent head coach, if Millwall is taken lightly in the final, Valencia will finally win the cup. I think no one will be surprised. Of course, the premise is that we have played badly. During this season, I always believe that if Millwall Seoul can exert its full strength, we can win all competitions, so our enemy is ourselves."


    ...


    May 24.


    Paris, France Stadium.


    Before the official start of the UEFA Champions League final this season, a series of cultural performances will be held in the stadium for fans to enjoy.


    When the performance ended, the entire stadium quickly entered the atmosphere of a football match.


    Today, the atmosphere in the stadium is unprecedentedly warm, overlooking from the sky, especially shocked, will definitely become a classic scene in the Champions League final.


    The turf of the stadium is divided into two, with the emblem of the mad lion team on the left and the emblem of the bat army team on the right.


    In the stands, the fans of the two sides coincided with the visually powerful cheering effect.


    On the side of the stands, Millwall fans created a blue lion pattern through the color of the jersey, as if a mad lion appeared on the stands.


    On the opposite side, Valencia fans also created a huge bat pattern, which symbolizes the patron saint of Valencia.


    The two parties'' chambers were not willing to show their weakness, and used their own methods to create pressure on their opponents.


    Aldridge waited for the players to tidy up in the locker room, he said lightly to everyone: "This is Millwall''s second time in three years to reach the Champions League final. It is the glory of the club and your glory. You have half of the players participating After the final two years ago, some people were the first to reach the Champions League final. I will not talk about letting you fight for the fans and the honor of the club. Now, think about yourself and win. It¡¯s two. The great honour of the Champions League trophy in hand may be the first, but it makes you more hungry, think about your family, will be proud of you, think about your children, and will be proud of the father in the future, this is your Motivation, this is the determination you should have to defeat your opponents, let your name shine in European football, make your career more brilliant, let today, do not leave regrets!"


    Aldridge turned away after he finished speaking. Next, the three captains who will start in the team will inspire the teammates in the locker room. They have experience and are qualified for winning the championship two years ago. They can help the first. Some players who played in the Champions League final, such as Henry, Gattuso, Ronaldinho and others.


    Today, Aldridge, still in suit and leather, walked slowly in the player channel. Except for the staff, the players on both sides did not come out. He would not make a long talk before the game, so he often appeared on the court early. Today, No exception.


    He doesn''t want to change the pre-match mode that a well-known team is familiar with in the final, which will put unnecessary pressure on the team.


    The hustle and bustle in the arena was audible. Aldridge was walking steadily. Looking at the brighter light outside the player''s passage, he looked calm, not cold, not public, and even less worried.


    In the locker room, he just told the truth, in a sense, the idea in his heart.


    Football clubs have divorced from the nature of community public welfare organizations that have undertaken public obligations in the past. For the sake of fans? For the club? Many times people in different football circles are just a slogan.


    People are selfish, especially under the premise of interest-driven.


    In those days when playing football was basically the same as being a miner¡¯s income, playing football was of course glory, and it was easy for the fans to resonate with the team.


    But in the contemporary era, who can avoid the temptation to ignore the fame and fortune?


    For money or personal fame, is this wrong? That''s right, and the premise is to kick the ball well, and fame and fortune income is directly linked to the performance of the stadium.


    At this moment, Aldridge can''t work in the spirit of the club''s honor with a fan''s support in mind.


    At the age of 24, for the second time in the Champions League final, he is making history, a history that belongs to him, a legend that people can discuss for a long time even if Millwall is set aside.


    At this time, he needs to be selfish and make the team selfish.


    Win for yourself, win for selfish desires!


    People do not die for their own sake, can they generate more motivation for others?


    There are such people, but Aldrich always thinks that those people are a few.


    Out of the player''s channel, Aldridge came to the stadium, stood on the sidelines, and looked around the stadium for the first time.


    When he appeared on the sidelines, hundreds of sideline photographers surrounded him and started a long shooting.


    Those professional cameras were more like a shotgun, aimed at Aldridge.


    All of a sudden, with Aldridge as the center, and the flashlight nearby.


    Rosie, who was sitting with Ewen in the stands, leaned over and looked down on the sidelines. When he saw Aldridge being "siegeed" by the camera, his eyes widened in wonder.


    She couldn''t understand how a man can be so sought after.


    Perhaps in her eyes, the reason is that Aldridge looks handsome.


    "The 1999-2000 UEFA Champions League final is about to start. The two teams that entered the final this year were Millwall from England and Valencia from Spain. The two teams each defeated the two giants of Spain in the semifinals. Real Madrid and Barcelona, ??now, Valencia, who has reached the Champions League final for the first time in history, and Millwall, who has reached the Champions League final for the second time in history, will compete against the championship trophy! This is described as an offensive and defensive before the game In the peak battle of the collision, Valencia created by Cooper deducted the defensive counterattack to the extreme, and Millwall was the most powerful offensive firepower in Europe this season under the training of Hall. The English media declared before the game Today will be the second day of the second generation of Lions created by Hall to win Europe! That¡¯s right, compared with Millwall¡¯s final starting lineup two years ago, today¡¯s Millwall has half of the personnel changes. Shevchenko , Trezeguet, Elgra, Capdevila, Makelele, these people can¡¯t play for Millwall today. Makelele was suspended for Ronaldinho because of the suspension Whether the second generation of Mad Lion represented by Henry can stand on top of Europe, this game has a landmark meaning!"


    Valencia coach Cooper walked into the stadium at the beginning of the game. Aldrich turned his head and found that the other party was approaching himself, so he greeted him, and the two coaches separated after a few words, maybe the game There was no chance to meet after that.


    With the Champions League theme song, the players of the two teams began to enter the field with great energy.


    "Now let me introduce you to the starting list of both sides. First, Millwall. Today they have a neat lineup except for Makelele¡¯s red card suspension.


    Millwall 433.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.


    Midfielders: Gattuso, Pirlo, Nedved.


    Forwards: Larson, Henry, Ronaldinho.


    There is also a main player in Valencia''s formation who missed the final due to a suspension. The absence of defender Kaboni may have a great impact on the back line.


    Valencia started with 442.


    Goalkeeper: Canizares.


    Defenders: Angloma, Juki?, Pellegrino, Gerardo.


    Midfielders: Mendieta, Farinos, Herald, Kili Gonzalez.


    Forwards: Angulo, Claudio Lopez.


    From the comparison of the two team lineups alone, Valencia''s disadvantage is not too obvious, especially their midfield combination is known as one of the best in Europe, and Millwall''s division of labor is reasonable and clear. This is also known to everyone, and the key trend of today''s game, Valencia depends on the midfield, Millwall has many points to rely on, which is why Millwall is considered to be the favorite to win the championship. "


    The end of the Champions League theme song, Millwall and Valencia opened the field ready to kick off.


    Aldridge stood on the sidelines with his arms around his chest and looked serious. During the first 10-20 minutes, he must observe the situation on the field. This will be the key to the overall trend of the game and also to test his targeted deployment before the game. Whether the tactical arrangements are effective.

 Chapter 510： Beyond the legend

    Valencia coach Cooper is a defender, and the bat army created has become a climate. Mestalla has also become a burial ground for many powerful people to change their colors.


    His team doesn¡¯t have many secrets, the thickness of the lineup is standard, and it is not at the same level as the powerful team. There are so many pieces that can fight and fight, and can win. The tactical style is not flexible. Changeable, but like a master in a martial arts novel, learning much is better than learning well, Valencia practiced the defensive counterattack and killed the Quartet.


    Cooper used this set of defensive counterattack to come to the Champions League final. The British media mocked Cooper in order to give Millwall a momentum. This Aldridge disagreed, but admired Cooper instead.


    Valencia''s own lineup is inherently insufficient, and defensive counterattack is the most reasonable tactical choice.


    Their main lineup of defenders has an average age of more than 32, and the two full-backs are more than 34 years old. They do not play defensive counterattacks. Do they really make them rush up? It is reasonable to allow the midfield line to protect the defender line so that the team as a whole is consistent.


    And Valencia¡¯s number one star is Flea Claudio Lopez, who is the core of the team¡¯s counter-attack tactics. He often surprises the opponent on the left, causing the opponent¡¯s defense to be turned upside down, and allowing the opponent¡¯s defender to see it. Like every ghost.


    The leader of the team is the Basque tough guy Mendieta. The Valencia midfielder team he leads is one of the best in Europe.


    After all, football is played, not compared to it. Practicability and efficiency are emphasized on the court. There are many big-name teams in the Valencia midfield combination, and there are many stronger evaluations, but they are combined. The effect is different from the reputation strength of a single player, this is the team chemistry.


    After the game started, Valencia launched a wave of offense. Angulo was intercepted by Gattuso before the penalty area. Millwall was turned from the defender, but they did not take the initiative to seek fast, the rhythm was not fast or slow, and the ball was controlled. Very stable.


    The La Liga team pays attention to pass and control, combining personal ball control technology with the team cooperation. Apart from the delicateness, sometimes the offensive can hit the mercury. This is also in the context of the annihilation of Serie A in the Champions League semi-finals after the new millennium. One of the reasons why the league began to usurp the position. In terms of the league environment, Serie A is not as good-looking as La Liga. Even though the Premier League gave birth to Manchester United and Millwall, the Champions League over the past two years, the overall appreciation of the league is not enough. Most teams are still sledgehammers, with physical confrontation as the main, tactical depth is not as good as Serie A, and technical display is not as good as La Liga. Because of this, Millwall ruled England and was sometimes degraded.


    But today, Millwall showed a better ability to control the ball and pass and cooperate.


    Valencia is playing a defensive counterattack, and the area of ??focus is not too much, which gives Pirlo the space to dominate the midfield.


    Ronaldinho, Larson, Nedved, the three are not in a hurry to rush up, they are implementing the Millwall football philosophy with action.


    To rush to the frontline prematurely, you will only be stared to death, and you have reduced the scope of your activity.


    Retreat, stabilize the rhythm, without anxious attack, and then suddenly increase the speed at the right time, creating an excellent opportunity.


    The scene of the game was very different from what the audience expected, and people looked forward to Millwall''s violent storm and Valencia''s invincible counterattack.


    The reality is that Millwall dominates the midfield slowly and attacks, Valencia can''t make it, the players start to become frizzy.


    In the 12th minute, Mendieta took the initiative to grab Pirlo. The latter decisively speeded up and split the ball to the side, giving Zambrotta a forward amount of advance. This is the signal that Mendieta is not in position, Zambro The tower rushed forward, and the speed came together, straight ahead and drove forward.


    The 35-year-old Angelo has been staring at Ronaldinho, and Zambrotta has no one to intercept with the ball. Until he makes an inward action without passing, Angloma abandons Ronaldinho to come and rob, But when he moved, Zambrotta passed the ball to Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho took the ball and crossed the goal in front of the bottom. Canizares predicted the correct. He fell to the ground and pressed the ball under him in advance. Henry then A shot could be formed in one step, he gave a thumbs up to Ronaldinho, and then ran back to defend.


    Valencia launched the offensive, Millwall''s offensive line withdrew from the midfield for a mad rush, the midfield line guarded the key area and marked the man, and the defender line was pressed forward and connected with the midfield line to form an encircling circle.


    Farinos and Herald passed each other twice and risked to pass the ball to Lopez in front of the left. The little flea touched the ball and made people clap, passing Schneider!


    Unfortunately, as soon as he passed Schneider, he didn''t touch the ball again. Materazzi consciously made up the space between Schneider and him. After Lopez passed, the ball was a bit far away from him. Materazzi Go straight up and half turn to sweep the ball to goalkeeper Bout.


    Bute stopped the ball, kicked the ball to Southgate, and returned to Zambro Tara at the position to respond. Millwall again organized the offensive, the pace was not slow.


    Struggling to control at a slow pace is one of the targeted arrangements for Audridge before the game.


    Opponents are good at playing defensive counterattacks. If Millwall deliberately plays fast, even if it can increase the offensive pressure, it is easy to give opponents counterattack opportunities.


    Slow tempo can keep the overall formation reasonable, and will not easily appear empty, and Aldridge believes that Millwall has an invisible advantage that Valencia does not have.


    Champion temperament, calm in the final.


    Valencia played the Champions League final for the first time, the pressure can be imagined.


    And they haven¡¯t had a league title for nearly three decades. Under such a background, Millwall¡¯s mentality should be calm and slow down. Millwall will attack one by one. Valencia¡¯s pressure will become more and more because, The contradictions in their hearts will become more and more fierce. They are eager to win, afraid to lose, without the right to the ball, they cannot control the offense, they cannot control their destiny, what win?


    The intuitive reflection of the situation on the court is that Pirlo controls the ball, can''t Valencia grab it?


    Rob, who will grab?


    The striker can''t grab it, and the midfielder will lose his position when pressed up.


    When Pirlo controlled the midfield with ease, he steadily played the ball from left to right, often able to beat Valencia after a penetrating penetration.


    Especially after Millwall''s offensive players came to a crossover.


    "Milwall¡¯s tactics today are very targeted, completely suppressing Valencia, the Bat Army cannot play a threatening attack, and Mendieta can only pass back under the pressure of Zambrotta, Pellegri Connaught kicked the ball forward and returned the ball to Millwall. It seems that Hall¡¯s preparations are very sufficient, and he does not give his opponent a chance to fight back."


    The outbreak of Valencia this season certainly has a certain relationship with their background.


    Like Millwall''s first season in the Champions League, the European giants despised the mad lion, and Aldridge used the defensive counterattack to fight the heroes.


    To put it bluntly, the opponent despised and thought he could win the game with a strong attack, but was caught off guard by surprise.


    Aldridge is not in a hurry today, to avoid the over-pressure of the team and give the opponents counter-attacks, compress the midfield, and madly **** when Valencia attacks. The speed, Millwall players are faster overall, the opponent can only rely on Passing the cut, this point, Aldridge is confident that Millwall''s tactical discipline and execution can limit the other party''s play.


    In the 36th minute of the game, Kylie Gonzalez broke through Pirlo and was cut off by Gattuso. Gonzalez abnormally stared at Pirlo. Gattuso just about to knock the ball to Pirlo ''S actions stopped abruptly.


    Gattuso seems to be a little bit of a brain crash. He originally planned to pass the ball to Pirlo. He found that he did not run out of time and was stared to death, so he didn''t know what to do next.


    Lopez is coming from behind Gattuso. Pirlo sees the bad situation and reaches directly to the right. Gattuso closes his eyes and passes the ball over there.


    Schneider put on the catch and directly launched a quick counterattack.


    Schneider, who suddenly speeded up on the wing, passed Herad, and easily buckled on the wing. This game was replaced by the main player Kabooni.


    The left-back has played very few games in the league. Today, the performance on the court is very general. Schneider made a sudden stop and smashed the ball laterally and entered the penalty area from Herado.


    Valencia''s back line was shocked, and Schneider was quite calm. After observing his teammates'' running position, he knocked the ball back to the top of the penalty area. Henry reversed the position and pulled out of the penalty area. He faced the ball at the top of the arc The instep of the instep knocked the ball into the hinterland of the penalty area.


    Henry pulled out of the penalty area, Larson slanted into the middle, and the two had a perfect running position. Henry formed a cover for Larson and attracted the attention of the defensive players. This time, he also sent a subtle assist.


    Larsson just faced the goalkeeper after leading the ball in the penalty area, but within a distance of less than two meters, Giukic and Pellegrino formed a double-team against him, he did not have much time to think.


    Stop the ball, swing your legs, push the dead end.


    Larson''s rhythm is just right. After he finished shooting, Juki? and Pellegrino reached out at the same time with their legs blocked. Larson stumbled and looked at the ball all the time, Canizares Swinging out, but the angle is too tricky, he can only watch the ball sigh.


    Larson stabilized his body and ran away with open arms to the sidelines.


    "Henrik Larson! Henrik Larson! Henrik Larson!!! Even though the number of goals this season is lower than Henry, Larson is refreshing every goal. The killer of the first goal scorer in the history of the Millwall club team. How can he be less in such a key game? This is his stage. At the end of the sixth season of Millwall, he was Mill. Wall has scored more than 160 goals, the king of efficiency! This is a cooperation between Schneider, Henry, Larson, simple and fast, a fatal blow, Valencia should not give Millwall this Not only did Larson catch the ball steadily in the penalty area, he even had time to adjust the shot, maybe it was less than two seconds, but for Larson, it was enough! Now, Millwall leads Valencia 1-0, the club¡¯s second Champions League trophy is beckoning to them, and the Triple Crown King Albert is close at hand!"


    Larson came to the side of the court and smiled as he stood in front of the fans'' stands.


    For him, it is too difficult for the national team to honour the honor, so that next year he will be 30 years old and he has the idea of ??withdrawing from the national team. the power of.


    Looking at the crazy lion fans cheering for him passionately, Larson said: Not enough, not enough.


    What is not enough?


    The second European Championship?


    Not enough, not enough.


    Millwall can get more, third, fourth, fifth...


    He is here to bring more trophies to the club, to the fans, to himself, and more!


    He is not as lucky as Henry to be a World Cup champion at the age of 20, but he also has a heart to become a legend and to surpass many legends familiar in football!

 Chapter 511： Giants

    Valencia has created a unique style of play, can score goals, can win, but a threshold before the end of the championship trophy is their lack of quality: smart and sophisticated.


    Millwall didn''t have this quality before, so Aldridge in the European Cup Winners'' Cup final, against Real Madrid two years ago, he gave the team instructions to attack aggressively, forget all the pressure, attack aggressively, and play self Style, don''t care about anything else. Fortunately, I met Real Madrid without the Champions League for 30 years. The other party is also nervous, stressed and unable to calm down.


    The team that played the final for the first time is the most taboo in terms of gains and losses. Valencia may not have this kind of emotion itself, but because the team is inherently lacking, in the case of a backward score, it is inevitable that this kind of emotion will be spawned.


    Millwall has become very sophisticated today, steadily dominating the situation on the court. The rhythm is slow for more than 70% of the time, but suddenly the speed is fast. The impact of rhythm changes makes Valencia difficult to parry.


    Celebrating Larson''s goal, Aldridge also found a detail, a situation that he did not expect before the game.


    He walked back to the coach''s seat and said to Boas: "The opponent''s left-back, Gerardo, give me a brief introduction."


    Boas stood up and whispered next to Aldridge: "He was born in Real Madrid, but did not play for Real Madrid in the official game, and then came up from a low-level team, transferred to Valencia during the season, and played in La Liga. Less, one-on-one, Ronaldinho finished blasting him!"


    Boaz''s introduction is really simple enough.


    Aldridge nodded thoughtfully.


    Herado''s appearance is not unexpected, because Kabooni suspended.


    How old is Caboni? 35 years old.


    How old is Hera? 26 years old.


    The former is obviously older, while the latter is in the year of playing.


    But for Valencia''s defensive counterattack, defend first, then counterattack. If you can''t defend well, you also counterattack!


    If they are able to play on this back line, except for Pellegrino who is 29 years old, the youngest next is 34-year-old Giukic, and the remaining two defenders are 35 years old.


    How do they guarantee defense?


    experience!


    They can''t run down 10,000 meters in a row like a young man, 12, 3 or more.


    But many young players are qualified for running distance, which is beyond the average level, but there may be three kilometers, five kilometers is running blindly, running randomly, is wasting physical energy to do useless work.


    Veterans are different. With their experience, veterans run less, but they all run on the right path. They will appear there when the team needs it!


    Otherwise, with an old line of defense, can Valencia reach the final?


    Boas not only evaluated each other''s abilities, but also provided a very important message.


    Gerardo lacks top-level experience!


    He played from a low-level team all the way, and transferred to Valencia less than half a year ago.


    What game is it today?


    Champions League final!


    Valencia itself lacks the pressure resistance of this level of the event itself, plus a certain point of unsatisfactory performance, this is definitely an important information that can be used.


    Before the game, Aldridge didn''t expect it, because he didn''t know much about Gerardo, and no one was sure as to whether the opponent had become a **** or a mess.


    In the first half of the game, I didn¡¯t find how bad the opponent was, because Larson was good at passing and running. Larson himself didn¡¯t overwhelm one-on-one with his opponent. At this point, you can''t see whether play is good or bad.


    But Schneider''s assist just moved up easily over Gerardo, and that scene made Aldridge take heart.


    He walked to the side of the court and asked Schneider not to rush the ball when a chance for a throw-in occurred. He called Larson to the front and said to him: "You change position with Thierry, let Thierido Charge the gap between the opposing full-back and center-back."


    Larson took the order and went back to talk to Henry, and the two positions were exchanged.


    In the next game, Herado frequently panic.


    First, he couldn''t break Henry''s ball.


    Second, he would lose his position if he rushed to grab.


    Henry got rid of, explosive force, ball control ability, is slightly stronger than Larson, single soldier ability blasted Gerardo on the right.


    This forced the midfielder to defend the Gerado more when defending.


    In the 44th minute of the game, Henry caught Gerardo and Falinos on the right. He didn''t do it very well. He knocked the ball back to Schneider who came to the side. The latter made a straight pass to find the middle. Larson.


    Larsson then knocked Nedvide to start forward at full speed. Due to Falinos'' defense, Valencia''s middle road was empty, and Larsson''s pass also made Pellegrino and Jukic. Unexpectedly, Nedvide hit the ball from the front of the big penalty area and blasted the ball into the gate guarded by Canizares.


    "2:0! The goal of Nedved made the crazy lion fans crazy in the stands! This long shot is really beautiful. Nedved is not a loss for Mr. Xin Kejinqiu. It seems that today can still get a new one. Champion medal!"


    The two goals lead and the first half ends immediately. This time is very good. Millwall can return to the locker room to let Audridge remind the team to calm down, and also make Valencia feel more emotional before entering the locker room. heavy.


    Aldridge applauded Nedved''s goal, with a smile on his face, not overly excited.


    Valencia''s overall performance is much worse than he expected.


    At least, they were not as stunning and unstoppable on the road to the finals.


    Lack of championship temperament and the limitations of lineup tactics, Valencia has begun to collapse!


    It must be said that Millwall''s rhythm of control and high pressure forced the opponent to always collapse with the unfavorable situation. The behavior on the field is to lose tactical discipline, rush to rush, and lose the defensive position in the critical area. , Seemingly fierce, but in fact the dog jumped the wall.


    The first half of the second half is the life and death stage, even if the game is reversed and turned over at the last moment, but the most critical time point in the routine is still in the first 20 minutes of the second half, because in the last 25 minutes, the less time, the less advanced It is easier to crash, and the leading side can also use prolonged time and reduce offense to strengthen the defense to keep the victory.


    At halftime, Aldridge instructed the team to play more stable in the second half, maintain the overall formation, pay attention to not giving the opponent midfield cooperation space, and cut the opponent''s formation when counterattack.


    Cooper can only go to Gerardo, maybe there is a little worry before the game, but optimistically, in a good place, Lopez''s attack on the left side of the front can also put pressure on the opponent and suppress the opponent''s right attack.


    But the reality is that Flea Lopez didn''t get many performance opportunities today.


    Millwall suppressed the midfield, Valencia made it difficult to move forward, rarely allowed the striker to get the ball comfortably, the offensive advancement became difficult, the midfield could not hold back, and the striker naturally did not get strong support.


    In the 58th minute, Ronaldinho controlled the ball on the left, Nedved forward, Larson pulled out the penalty area to cover Nedved, Valencia defensive players are facing the enemy, Ronaldinho in Anglomar After pulling the ball in front of him and taking two steps back, he suddenly kicked and crossed.


    The quality of his pass is extremely high and he is looking for the back point directly.


    The ball bypassed the central defender''s defense and went straight to the goal point. Herado had another problem!


    He failed to keep up with Henry. Pellegrino went after the point but was obviously one step slower. He couldn''t fly faster than the ball. Henry jumped in the back point and headed the goal!


    Canizares blocked the near corner of the goal, Henry headed towards the far post, and Canizares flicked the right hand with his right hand open to block the ball!


    However, the ball he blocked was in the penalty area. Nedved looked to make up the shot, but he did not step on the right step. He fell to the ground and failed to kick the ball.


    But just behind Nedved, Larsson, who is one step faster than Hrad, kept up with the bow and pushed the ball forward. The half-height ball sent the ball into the goal!


    "Larsen scored twice and Millwall led 3:0! This is a game where there is a feeling of watching the game: there is no suspense! Millwall not only suppresses Valencia in less than 60 minutes. The goal also destroyed Valencia! Valencia fans who painted bats on the stands before the game must be very sad, and fans of the Lions are now singing and dancing in the stands to celebrate their team is about to win the second club. The European Champions Cup, and the unprecedented triple crown in England!"


    Valencia players hold their heads on the field incredible, but in a final, they have no resistance.


    Mendieta''s expression was dull, not sure why this happened.


    The midfield combination he leads is one of the best in Europe. Even if he lost to Millwall today, it is still one of the best. This will not change.


    The fact is, Millwall is stronger, it''s that simple.


    Cooper''s cold expression only made people feel stubborn and sympathetic, and he was helpless.


    Aldridge and Klinsmann, Jenson, three people embraced to celebrate the team''s third goal, they can now release a little.


    Valencia did not give up, fight more fiercely, people can not believe that this is a La Liga team, they are more active to use physical confrontation to obtain the ball, although the action is not rough, but compared with Millwall, the two The team seems to be wearing a reverse jersey.


    In the 70th minute of the game, Aldridge made a substitution.


    Neal comes on and replaces Southgate.


    Six-year veteran Neil, today, Aldridge can give him more time to enjoy the Champions League final.


    Southgate put the captain''s armband on Nedved before putting it off, and applauded to the fans. He did not delay the time. He voluntarily ran to the sidelines to hug Neil, gave a high-five to Aldridge after walking out, and finally sat Rest on the bench.


    Valencia fought fiercely and robbed fiercely, but this was not the game rhythm they were good at, but led to frequent loss of position, the defense line was disconnected, and the team was hit again in the 81st minute.


    Ronaldinho hit the penalty area and passed the ball back to the top of the penalty area. Pirlo kept up with the ball and shot a long shot from the world wave again to penetrate the gate guarded by Canizares.


    4:0.


    The game was completely one-sided.


    Aldridge made another substitution, replacing Kut with Keller.


    Is it a shame for the goalkeeper to change the goalkeeper?


    No, it''s his reward to Keller. As a substitute goalkeeper, Keller has limited ability, but he has no complaints.


    In the last 5 minutes he replaced Ronaldinho and allowed Glencharr to play.


    Valencia''s defeat has been decided, there is no ability to reverse the world, and the team is discouraged when time is running out.


    Aldridge stood on the side of the court with a smug smile, and beside him stood the Millwall coaching staff and other players. Everyone was waiting for the game to end, and then rushed into the field to revel!


    When the referee declared the end of the match with a whistle, most players in Valencia sat down on the ground, and the Lions fans cheered loudly in the French stadium.


    "The 1999-2000 season UEFA Champions League final game ended, Millwall 4:0 Valencia, Millwall''s exceptional performance this season has been stable in the league and the Champions League, they have created an undefeated in the league The record of winning the championship and the undefeated record in the Champions League are also winning the club¡¯s second Champions League trophy!

Starting next season, Millwall will play in their new home. The new home named Lion King Stadium welcomes the arrival of the real king. This is the era of the mad lion, this is the era of Millwall¡¯s dynasty. From today on, please mention a brief introduction to Millwall when you mention Millwall! The giant Millwall is coming to Europe!"


    Volume VII Reforming Mountains and Rivers

 Chapter 512： Metabolism

    The blue sea and silver sand, the waves raging.


    On an isolated island beach in eastern Australia, Aldridge, who was only wearing a pair of pants, was lying half-lying, gently touching the smooth jade back of a tempting black bikini beauty beside him with one hand.


    There are only two people on this island, him, and Yiwen around him.


    Looking at the sunset that seemed to sink into the sea, the beautiful scene made Aldridge forget the passage of time.


    It has been half a month since the 2000 Champions League final. After winning the championship, he was put on the altar and regarded as a **** by England, but all topics related to him will become popular, magazines, tabloids, as long as his photos are published It will be a big sale, and there will be a lot of invitations for interviews, and even Time Magazine will include him as a cover character.


    The 24-year-old legendary young master, he spent six years to complete a great cause that no one else can do in his life.


    But after the final, he hurriedly accepted the interview and said lightly: Now, I just want to stay away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy the tranquility.


    He needs to rest, he needs to stop and enjoy life, and he needs to find a balance between career and life.


    The young master left the carnival team, let them become the protagonist, let them enjoy the headlines of the news, and enjoy the glory of their career.


    And he took the hand of Yi Wen that night and walked the Champs Elys¨¦es, feeling the beautiful scenery of the romantic capital of France.


    That night, he and Yiwen enjoyed the most original passion of male and female love in the hotel suite.


    What surprised him was that the 23-year-old Yiwen was an old virgin, and she was not ashamed at all. She said proudly: The purity of retention is waiting for you to ask for it.


    This is more stimulating to Aldridge than any love story.


    Day after day, year after year, Aldrich knew what he wanted, and Yiwen could give him all, which was enough.


    This small island belongs to him and has been his private property for at least 60 years.


    Almost half a year ago, he commissioned Andrew to buy it on a small island officially sold in Australia.


    The island itself is not expensive, and the cost of a mansion attached to the sale of Australia on the island is cheaper than buying a manor in London.


    However, the construction and long-term cost of the island is a huge expense. You have to solve the problems of water supply and power supply, the network, the dock or the airport, the island¡¯s roads, the island¡¯s food and beverages. This is the focus of consumption.


    Aldrich enjoys such a process, creating a paradise for himself. In the past six months, the island has completed the foundation construction, there is a small airport, and a garden has been built.


    "Um... how long have I slept?"


    Yi Wen straightened up lazily, rubbed his sleepy eyes, kissed gently on Aldridge''s face, and naturally showed a faint smile.


    "About three hours. Are you hungry?"


    "A bit, go back and let you try the big lobster I made."


    "Well, you go back first, I suddenly want to go swimming."


    "Not allowed..."


    "Got it, I''m not allowed to swim too far. Rest assured, I don''t want to die, especially I don''t want to drown as a swimmer."


    "Hehehe, the drowned ones are all capable of water, come back within an hour."


    Aldridge lifted her up, and the two separated after a kiss on the beach. Aldridge put on his swimming goggles, put on his swimming trunks, and plunged into the water against the waves.


    The waters around here are very clear, Aldridge enjoys swimming and diving here, can see the colorful corals on the bottom of the shoal, and can also see the swimming fish.


    Swimming alone will inevitably not think about things.


    As he said to all fanatic fans at the championship celebration many years ago: Millwall is part of my life.


    Six years later, in addition to his work, most of his time will still be on Millwall, becoming an instinct.


    He is currently on vacation, but the club''s work is extremely heavy. The first team will move into the new stadium, and the Lion''s Cave Stadium is also undergoing minor renovations and reconstructions.


    The first priority for internal club work is player renewal.


    Aldridge is very generous. He directly raises the salary of all the players who are watching in the UEFA world.


    Southgate, Nedved, Larson three meritorious ministers, before them is a weekly Premier League top salary contract of 70,000 pounds, if you count their loyalty bonus, the annual salary will be close to 100,000 pounds !


    In other words, with these three players alone, the club''s annual salary is close to 15 million pounds!


    The outside world is saying that Millwall has transformed into a giant, and then Audridge will show the courage and confidence of the giant.


    The renewal contracts of other players also increased a lot year-on-year.


    And the team will have more sponsorship income this summer, coupled with the revenue growth driven by the new stadium, Millwall¡¯s financial prospects for the new season are still very optimistic, they can still make money, the most fundamental reason is their team building Among the costs, the investment of buying players is not large. Other giants may buy a player for 20 million pounds. This may be the sum of Millwall''s investment in recruiting for two years or more.


    Against this background, Millwall announced the transfer of the two players in early June.


    The first is Van der Mead, who has long been known to the outside world, with a transfer of 15 million pounds to Inter Milan.


    The second place is Makelele, with 28 million pounds transferred to Real Madrid.


    Makelele''s departure was psychologically prepared by the club a year ago.


    When the contract was renewed in the summer of 1998, Makelele''s agent took care of the Millwall Club. That contract was the last contract made by Makelele and Millwall.


    After the semi-final battle with Real Madrid, Makelele''s agent began contact with Real Madrid.


    In this matter, Aldridge just called Makelele after the season and asked a simple question.


    Really don''t want to play for Millwall anymore?


    Makelele''s answer is also simple.


    I got everything here, and now, I want new challenges.


    Aldridge did not ask what the other party wanted.


    There are always strange or intricate factors in the transfer of players. The competitive factors are significant, but not all.


    On the road of creating great business and striking glory, some people will be satisfied, some will be slack, some will give up, no matter what the reason is, if someone wants to go, there are always many reasons.


    Maybe Millwall''s jersey is not as noble as Real Madrid.


    Perhaps the living environment in southwest London is not as prosperous as that around Real Madrid.


    Perhaps it is tired of the rainy rain in London, and the wind and the yearning in Spain yearning for spring in Spain.


    Perhaps Makelele wanted to go to Real Madrid to turn the tide and meet the challenge he said.


    I haven¡¯t been to the Real Madrid Club and I haven¡¯t been to the Santiago Bernabeu. I can¡¯t feel the shock of that magnificent stadium, I can¡¯t feel the contagion behind that majesty, so many players say they dream of playing for Real Madrid. The flattering words, but in the most comfortable living environment, in the most high-end stadium, in front of the world''s most discerning fans, conquering there is indeed a very difficult dream that many players go to succeed .


    Real Madrid initially offered 20 million pounds. Chairman Sans was facing a general election in the summer. He wanted to inspire people through the success of the transfer market. He voted for himself. Aiming at this, the Millwall Lions asked for 35 million pounds. In the tug-of-war, the Makelele transfer was finalized at a transfer price of ¡ê28 million.


    Before the opening of the European Cup, Makelele had already gone to Bernabeu to complete the medical examination. The transaction could be completed only when the summer transfer window opened.


    Aldridge¡¯s summer work needs to be done based on the results of the club¡¯s renewal.


    To put it bluntly, he just wants to see who will leave the team after the holidays and then carry out targeted reinforcements.


    Van der Mede''s departure was an accident, but after all, the substitute is a substitute. It is not difficult to find an alternative for the substitute.


    Makelele left, and was mentally prepared before. Gattuso could be superior. Although the two have different abilities and different characteristics, Aldridge still thinks it is acceptable and is a good phenomenon in a sense.


    Countless times in history have proved that a team that continues to succeed will eventually become a burden in the later period.


    Because the players are too successful and the contribution to the team is too great, from the fans to the club, they will spoil the players, and even indulge and tolerate the players.


    Until one day, people will accept reality when they realize that the former meritorious veteran has become a stumbling block to hinder the team.


    This is another focus of team building: metabolism!


    People who have nothing will lack the motivation to create when they get wealth, and then become lazy, corresponding to the court, that is, there will be players who will eat the old ones.


    Millwall needs to continue to create brilliance, metabolism, and the frequency of renewal should be fast. It can''t wait for the high-rise building to be in decline. If it is really the time, then the situation is familiar: push down and rebuild!


    Aldrich doesn¡¯t mind someone leaving, someone leaving, the team has fresh blood injected, more energetic, more competitive, let the newcomers work hard to threaten the old officials, force them not to relax, so that the team can Continue to make great strides instead of keeping the lineup intact. Lack of aggressiveness leads to stagnation and being surpassed.


    As long as the team''s main lineup does not change more than 3 personnel, Aldridge is still ambitious for the new season because he has enough young strength to supplement the team and give pressure to the honorable main players.


    It was dark when the swim came ashore, and Aldridge put on his big pants, walked into the forest road, got on a kart, and drove the kart along the forest road back to the house on the island.


    Yiwen prepared a table of food, basically seafood. She also made a candlelight dinner emotionally. Aldridge went for a simple bath and then went to the living room, sitting opposite her at the dining table. Lifted the glass to signal a toast, and then began this warm and romantic dinner.


    "Do I need to wake you up in the middle of the night?"


    At the end of the dinner, Yiwen asked suddenly.


    Aldrich shook his head with a smile and said, "I came here on vacation. I have been dealing with football for more than 300 days a year. I don''t want to be disturbed by football at this time."


    "No, you enjoy all this, and I also enjoy being with you like this, even if I watch the game."


    "No, there are beautiful women around me. I''m in a place where no one will disturb me. Look at the beautiful surroundings and listen to the natural sounds of nature. Why would I enjoy climbing in the middle of the night to watch the game? And it has nothing to do with me."


    Aldridge said of course.


    Yi Wen stared at Aldridge for a long time with his lower lip, and his eyes were quite playful, and finally sighed: "Well, what you say is what."


    In the early morning of the next day, Aldridge was still in his dreams, warm and fragrant jade in his arms. Last night was a night that all men would enjoy, and the house was full of spring.


    He was woken up by the phone.


    Upon receiving it, Andrew roared.

 Chapter 513： Transfer doubt cloud

    Regardless of the club''s position, the Hall family is a big fan of the England national team, except for Aldridge.


    In the 1950s, Arthur witnessed the Hungarian Golden Team sweeping England in Wembley, accompanied by his father. In the half century since then, England played in Wembley, and members of the Hall family will always be present. Go to the ball game and support England.


    In the contemporary era, every time the English national team plays a formal game, Arthur and Andrew will go together, at home and away, the field will not fall.


    Aldrich will always be unable to escape due to work or rest. Besides, when he goes, he will become the focus of the stands.


    While Aldridge was asleep, Andrew directly called the Southern Hemisphere at the scene of the England national team game.


    "Aldridge! Fuck! Your curse is fulfilled! Grass! This bunch of shit, the two-ball lead was actually overturned and lost the game!..."


    Aldridge held the phone in a stunned manner, and when his mind was slightly awake, Andrew''s swearing of the English national team had been echoed in his ears.


    There is no way to expect too much, too long to expect, the reality is always merciless, two words are considered light, extreme England fans have repeatedly staged death threats, this is not normal.


    "what are you saying?"


    "I''m talking about England losing to Portugal! Euro Cup, Euro Cup! 2:0 becomes 2:3, fuck!"


    "Is it related to me? Don''t disturb me to sleep, I''m not in a jet lag with you."


    "Why doesn''t it matter to you? You cursed England''s fiasco, Cao, Lao Tzu thought that they can happily celebrate England''s defeat of Portugal today, fuck, 2-0 lead can lose the game, this still won the championship?"


    Aldridge hung up the phone directly, and then rolled over and embraced Ewen, leaning against her soft body and continuing to sleep.


    For the first time in history, the European Cup, jointly organized by the two countries, opened the battle in Belgium and the Netherlands.


    The England national team''s two-goal lead in the first game of Portugal was eventually reversed.


    Keegan led the division of the Three Lions.


    Aldridge doesn''t care about the progress of the European Cup, and the international competition has nothing to do with him.


    However, because Andrew would wake him up in the early morning after the end of the English game, he would get the first report of the England national team game in the ten days of the European Cup group stage.


    In the first game of Portugal, 2:3 was reversed and overturned.


    In the second war in Germany, England won by 1:0.


    This victory has lifted the whole nation of England!


    Male Gobi.


    Thirty years, thirty years!


    The English **** finally ended the infamous shame record in the competition!


    Kevin Keegan has restored a lot of public trust, and everyone feels that this victory should be a turning point, which means that England can go further in the European Cup.


    After all, the first game was reversed, and you can make a lot of optimistic interpretations, such as slacking after the team leads and taking it lightly.


    But after the third group stage, England returned to the familiar pattern.


    Preparing for the battle with great anticipation, the group stage draw was bad luck, the game encountered difficulties, was eliminated, and began to look for sinners to shirk responsibility after being out.


    2:3.


    England lost to Romania at the last minute and lost the chance to advance to the knockout.


    At the last minute, Phil Neville, who fouled the foul in the penalty area and gave the opponent a penalty, became England''s criminal.


    Every time there is a contest, there must be a candidate for a sinner in the English roster. Pierce, Southgate, Beckham, now, it¡¯s Phil Neville¡¯s turn, uh, Seaman two years later, and Watts four years later. Searle, Beckham, Lu Xiaofan six years later, eight years later, finally no sinners after eight years, sorry, eight years later, England failed to participate in the European Cup race, the penalty criminals will not mention a basket ...


    This situation can also be regarded as a wonderful landscape in international football.


    Aldridge intends to go back to work after the end of the European Cup. Now that England is out, he doesn¡¯t care what the direction of domestic public opinion is. He just wants to enjoy the holidays.


    London.


    Although Millwall has a new stadium with magnificent design, the administrative office is still in the original office building.


    Club CEO Adam has been saddening in the past two days.


    He is very busy, the new sponsorship contract, the team''s summer preparations will go to Asia, all the itinerary and commercial promotion are also his one-handed arrangements, plus the club''s internal player renewal, he is really busy.


    Southgate, Nedved, Larson, Bute, Schneider, Ronaldinho, Materazzi, Zambrotta, Gattuso...


    The official website of the club is refreshing the progress of the contract renewal every day. The players¡¯ contract is updated, which is enough to inspire the fans, and also give the outside world a voice: Don¡¯t hit our players¡¯ ideas, they will stay at Millwall, voila, We signed a new contract!


    Although renewal does not mean that players must stay in the team, how can it be better than not renewal? In particular, most player contract periods are only two years left.


    But in the past two days, Adam has encountered difficulties with Henry because Henry is playing for the European Cup with the French national team. He called to talk to Henry about the renewal. The specific terms and benefits. Henry himself is a football player. Of course he will listen. The agent suggested, so let Adam go to talk with his agent, originally, these things should be the agent and the club to deal with.


    Adam then started negotiations with Henry''s agent. The other lion opened his mouth and demanded a weekly salary of ¡ê75,000!


    The other party''s reason is quite sufficient.


    Henry scored 49 goals last season.


    Premier League gold boots, European gold boots.


    Henry scored one more goal in the league than Manchester United''s Black Wind Double Shark combined!


    Why? Can''t Henry score more goals than Southgate, Nedved, and Larson than he did, and earn less than his big players?


    Henry should be Millwall''s first superstar, earning the most money and giving the highest team status!


    Although Adam entered the business as a non-football player, but six years later, he at least understands that a club is not the one who scores the most and should make the most money.


    Southgate, Larson, Nedved, they came here when the club was worthless, dedicated their youth, and walked side by side with the team to this day, the prestige among the fans is unmatched, it is not a talent Henry, who came to the team for two years, can be compared. Henry is the darling, but his Millwall jersey is far less than Nedved''s jersey.


    At least it is impossible for Henry to complete the "usurpation" in the salary and locker room status this summer. Before those meritorious ministers themselves have no problems, Henry can only wait, wait for the time to pass, wait for Nedved to grow old in their old age, and then It is only a matter of course to complete the inheritance of the king.


    The weekly salary of 50,000 pounds provided by Millwall is slightly different from the weekly salary of 75,000 pounds requested by Henry''s agent, er, much larger, which is a 50% gap of the 50,000 basis!


    Therefore, the negotiations have reached a deadlock.


    Adam repeatedly made phone calls with Henry''s agents, hoping that the other party would calmly and rationally start the conversation.


    But Henry''s agent is very tough and does not meet his conditions, so they will not sign the contract.


    If it doesn''t work, Adam will come out and tell him that the opposing club will not sell Henry, and if he doesn''t renew his contract, it will affect Henry''s position in the team this season.


    The obscurity he said was actually a threat.


    Henry''s agent did not eat this set, and the dialogue between the two parties became a disappointed situation.


    Adam was having a headache, and he could not explain to Aldridge. This was a manifestation of his failure to complete his work.


    Because of the perfect performance last season, Henry was caught in a lot of scandals after the end of the season.


    Real Madrid, Barcelona, ??Inter Milan, Juventus, these four clubs are real swordsmanship wielding pounds!


    Real Madrid''s chairman, Sans, was able to measure up after buying Makelele. As a person in the circle, naturally received the wind, and Millwall and Henry''s renewal work encountered obstacles.


    Therefore, in order to add more chips to his election, Sens intends to make a deal with two birds with one stone.


    Real Madrid proposes ¡ê20 million + Anelka in exchange for Henry!


    Anelka transferred from Arsenal to Real Madrid for more than 20 million pounds last year, but in Bernabeu last season, he did not win the hearts of fans, especially the club¡¯s poor performance in the league, and Anelka himself Uneasy, Real Madrid was eager to send away this burden, Sans wished abacus sounded, told Millwall: Anelka proved himself in the Premier League, although he can not replace Henry, but the difference is not far away, we will post 20 million Sterling, Henry''s transfer of more than 40 million pounds, don''t you lose?


    Losing or losing was second, Adam refused the offer from Real Madrid without thinking.


    Anelka''s elder brother''s agent voluntarily ran to offer courtesy and was also turned away.


    Adam was in a terrible mood. The boss asked him to renew Henry''s contract, leaving people behind, but the transfer was rumored to be full of storms, especially Anelka''s agent''s brother came to London and was not low-key. The outside world was speculating that Henry was coming If you don''t transfer to Real Madrid, you will definitely go to another club.


    The situation in Barcelona is similar to that of Real Madrid, and it is also facing the presidential election in July. The club pulled votes to help the introduction of stars. Van Gaal ordered the Dutch gang before he left. Van Gaal resigned and was out of anger. Attacking the media scene, incidentally, Barcelona wanted to introduce absolutely inspiring stars, so secretly inquired about Henry.


    Adam never returned.


    Inter Milan''s rich money, directly throwing out a quotation of 30 million pounds, Moratti is not to join the excitement, it really needs a striker, need a Divine Front!


    Alien Ronaldo recovered from the injury at the end of last season. As a result, he fell to the ground painfully, without injury and without suspense in the Italian Cup final for no reason and no contact, and this injury was definitely reimbursed in the new season, career Whether the career can continue and whether people can see aliens on the field anymore has become a question for the outside world!


    Moratti is very sincere and wants to take Henry to Meazza, but he also knows that the hope is very slim. In addition to being rich, Inter Milan can''t compete with other competitors in other respects.


    The situation facing Juventus is very similar to that of Inter Milan. After Piero was seriously injured, his former aura disappeared little by little. At that time, the prince of Zebra, which had the top spot in Europe, seemed to be walking down the world from the altar.


    Mogi also sent Millwall a quotation of 30 million pounds, waiting for everyone to sit down and discuss in detail.


    "He won''t go anywhere? He won''t go anywhere! Even if he dies, he will die in Millwall!"


    Adam was a bit of a sign of collapse under pressure, and furious at the secretary in the office. The reporters who flocked to them wanted to know where Henry would transfer. It seems that people have identified a premise that Henry will definitely transfer and leave. !


    The flames of public opinion are getting hotter and stronger, and things have become out of control.


    The reality is getting farther and farther away from Adam''s original work goal. Even the Lion fans have begun to believe that they are about to lose the god-level shooter who killed the Quartet last season.

 Chapter 514： Flat-footed

    July 2, 2000.


    In the Netherlands, France defeated Italy with Trezeguet''s goal in overtime and won the European Cup after winning the World Cup in 1998, creating the myth of the Gaul rooster.


    The victory cheered the French, and the loser, Italy was sad.


    They are not far from the championship. If Vertod didn''t even the score before the end of the game, where would there be extra time? They are already celebrating the championship.


    The European Cup is a success for Italians, and pain is inevitable.


    But for several players in the Italian team, they have mixed feelings.


    Torture, pain, daze...


    Pirlo, Gattuso and Materazzi were selected for this Italian national team lineup, as well as Zambrotta, and of these four, only Zambrotta is the main force, and others, only Pirlo sits Off the bench, but even if he sits on the bench, he does not have a minute to play.


    In fact, their position in the national team is very unstable.


    If we compare the clubs of the members of the Italian national team for the European Cup this time, it is clear that except for Pirona''s four players from Millwall, the other members of the Italian national team are all from Serie A clubs!


    In other words, the Italian national team is dominated by local league players.


    In this era, for Italian players, playing abroad is basically equivalent to saying goodbye to the national team. Zola is in the Premier League and the Italian national team is blind.


    If Millwall did not shine in the eyes of the European War, Italy may not recruit Pirlo and others, but even if it does, it will not be a heavy task!


    In other words, if Millwall now recruits the main force of the Italian national team, the opponent may refuse because he is unwilling to abandon the qualification or main position of the international team.


    If Pirlo is playing for the Italian team today, he may also think about it.


    Fortunately, Millwall caused them when they were penniless and doubted whether they could have a way out.


    But the real problems are in front of them, and they have reached the point where they feel painful.


    Obviously he performed so well in the club. He has defeated the Serie A giants in the past two years, but he has few opportunities to play in the national team. Who can bear it?


    Club honors, they only need one League Cup to get a Grand Slam, who the **** cares about the League Cup!


    Like Pirlo, they naturally want to go further in the honor of the national team. Their situation is very different from Larsen. Sweden¡¯s participation in the international competition is to play a game, how far can it go to see luck, and Italy? It may not be the first favorite to win the competition, but at least the top five and the top three are certain, especially in the Serie A season has not yet fallen, strongmen come out, all top world-class.


    After the European Cup, Pirlo and others can go on vacation.


    But before the Italian national team was disbanded, he told his troubles to his good friend Gattuso in the same room.


    Gattuso didn''t really feel deep in his heart, as did Materazzi.


    Gattuso was originally a substitute at the club. This time he was called up, it was a great joy, perhaps because of his debut in the Champions League final and his outstanding performance. After all, the public opinion "plus points" brought by that victory is too high. Too.


    Materazzi has self-knowledge. Although he is not inferior in honor to his teammates, Konesta, Ferrara, Cannavaro, he really wants to say that he is definitely better than them. Too.


    Pirlo was the starting candidate for the Champions League finals to help the team win the cup. At least, he believes that his ability will not be worse than those of Albertini and Dino Baggio, so the difference in his heart is stronger.


    He obviously found the wrong person to talk to, Gattuso still can¡¯t think of it for so long, excluding the shadow of the national team¡¯s final defeat, he is full of anticipation for the new season, Makelele transfers to leave, it¡¯s his turn, he won¡¯t give it to others. Opportunity, we must firmly occupy the main position!


    Pirlo also temporarily chose to forget about the national team. Look at it in the future.


    At the same time, Aldridge returned to the UK after his holiday, but he did not return to London with Ewen. He asked Ewen to find a new house, and then he changed his way to Exeter City. Rowling heavyweight Return to his alma mater to give a speech and invite him to participate.


    Active and open social activities, Aldridge generally does not refuse if he has time, and Rowling rarely invites to call, he does not want to sweep away the other party''s interest.


    In the auditorium of the University of Exeter, Aldridge sat in the first row under the stage, and Jessica sat beside him, looking up proudly at Rowling who gave a speech on stage.


    The success of Rowling''s creative career in the past two years has made her a public figure. The Harry Potter series has achieved unprecedented success. As her friend, Aldridge is also happy for him.


    "As you can see, I am a single mother, and of course I have experienced the lowest period of my life, but I am lucky, and here, I would like to thank my friend, Aldrich Hall, in my When he was penniless, he generously made me insist on creating and encouraging me. He even believed more firmly than me that I can succeed without his help. Maybe I have long been lost. He is the most important friend of my life. And the most special friend."


    Probably recalling the time when poverty was down and down, Rowling smiled and looked at Aldridge with wet eyes, and applause rang.


    The MC at the venue then unexpectedly invited Audridge to give a speech.


    The vast majority of people on the scene naturally knew Aldridge. When he took the stage, the applause of the audience became more heated.


    And the first sentence of Aldridge''s standing speech shocked four.


    "She is lying! Don''t believe her! Ms. Rowling deceived all of you! She is a liar!"


    Aldridge thundered with a smile.


    The audience exclaimed, but Rowling and Jessica still stared at him with a smile, and did not mind him accusing unreasonably!


    The scene fell into silence, and it seemed that everyone was waiting for Audric to give an explanation.


    "Allow me to make a simple self-introduction. My name is Aldridge Hall. I am a football coach. Part of my job is to train young players, and before training players, my colleagues and I will Evaluation, one of which is the potential evaluation, we think this player has potential, then we will fully cultivate him, if we think he has no talent in this area, there is no room for improvement, then, we will not waste time. So, I It doesn¡¯t make a mediocre person become talented. Ms. Rowling was lying just now. She has potential. She has a talent for creation. This is hers, not from me. Without me, she can succeed as well. You can stand here today to give you a speech and share her secrets of success."


    Aldrich''s words made a false alarm for the people on the scene. Many reporters came today. They hoped that Aldridge really staged a good show against his friends here.


    The big scene has experienced so much, Aldridge can''t be frightened here, even if he didn''t prepare before, he can still win applause.


    "Sorry, I haven¡¯t been to college, I have no profound knowledge, I have not been influenced by elegant art, but I know that if you want to do something, you need to pay. In order to become a football coach, I have paid 8 years. In order to become a successful football coach, I have spent 14 years, and I plan to continue to work hard, work hard. Within my scope of work, I will see successful people, those famous stars, I will also watch To the loser, in May every year, there will be a lot of unknown players who are abandoned by the club. I just mentioned the potential, is the potential important to success? Of course it is important, but everyone¡¯s potential is different, like me, when I was 10 years old I knew I couldn¡¯t be a professional player. If I play football alone, I might be unemployed..."


    "Confusion, frustration, temptation, tiredness, etc. are all enemies. Part of my job is to help my players overcome these enemies, let them calm down, be patient, straighten their mindset, and temper their tough will. These intangible qualities are often That¡¯s the key to success. Look, Ms. Rowling is a good example."


    ...


    Although Aldrich''s impromptu speech may not be particularly exciting, but under the star effect, he still won applause from the scene. When he stepped down, many students even cheered. Probably, they are all fans.


    At the end of the event, Aldridge took a group photo with many people on the scene and signed them. He was busier than the protagonist Rowling.


    When he walked out of the University of Exeter, he was surrounded by a group of reporters who heard the news.


    Since the end of the Champions League final, the paparazzi on Fleet Street have been omnipotently searching for the trace of Aldridge. After more than a month, the legendary young coach finally appeared!


    "Mr. Hall, how did you evaluate the performance of the national team of England''s European Cup group stage? Is Keegan still suitable to lead the England national team?"


    The reporter surrounded him, which of course revolved around the topic of football.


    Aldridge was in a good mood today and responded patiently.


    "I think the national team just lacks some luck. We should also give Keegan coach more time. He hastily took over the national team. It is too early to draw conclusions."


    "Is the England national team defeated because of luck? Isn''t Neville''s final penalty to the opponent not a fatal one?"


    Aldridge smiled and shook his head: "I have been coaching Millwall for six years. Although the club is different from the national team, I have never put the blame on a player because of the team''s defeat. This is unfair. It¡¯s the team going to the game, not the individual player playing the game, Gareth four years ago, David two years ago, Phil today, you must ask me what I think? My answer will not change, he is not Sinner. You may not accept my answer, so think about it from another angle. If England advances in advance, what if Phil made a mistake and fouled in the last game? Will it be defined as a sinner? He can¡¯t decide the victory and defeat of the first two games alone, but fouled in the last game. That¡¯s all. He shouldn¡¯t bear the responsibility of losing for the entire national team. This is too heavy.¡±


    After all, it¡¯s the players of other teams who make mistakes and it¡¯s not their business. Aldrich said two good words. It doesn¡¯t matter whether public opinion condemns him, but it can make him a good reputation in the industry.


    "Mr. Hall, will Millwall introduce heavyweight players this summer? Anelka''s agent announced that he is willing to play for you, that is his honor."


    "Oh, I dare not guarantee anything else, but Millwall is not interested in Anelka, you can report it directly in my original words, he will not wear Millwall''s shirt, nor will we It takes so many strikers."


    "But didn¡¯t Millwall want to sell Henry? Don¡¯t you find a replacement? I know Millwall has Klose, and he is very good, but in case he can¡¯t replace Henry, Millwall still has equipment. Choose?"


    Aldridge smiled and said, "How can we sell Henry nonsense? He scored 49 goals last season, 49! Why do we want to sell such a shooter?"


    "But Henry''s agent has announced that Henry will not renew his contract with Millwall, Real Madrid has offered a player plus cash offer of 23 million pounds, Inter Milan and Juventus have made a offer of 32 million pounds in cash, Milwaukee Isn¡¯t it necessary to keep Henry? He has only two years left on his contract!"


    Aldridge was a little caught off guard.


    However, he still maintained his normal color on the surface and shook his head: "He will stay in Millwall."


    After saying this, Aldridge got into Rowling''s car, and then took out the phone to call Adam, his expression had become slightly gloomy.

 Chapter 515： sad

    Henry thought he would be very moist this summer, but in fact from the moment he returned to the country with the national team to celebrate and receive cheers from the people, the moment the leader received him, he became very upset.


    During a celebration in France, he and Trezeguet began to complain in private.


    "David, do you tell me that my demands are excessive? I only want a weekly salary of 40,000 pounds, but the club can give Henrik a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds. For me, it only increased by 5,000 pounds. Weekly salary? ¡ê30,000? This is incredible."


    Henry entrusts all matters to the agent. This is a practice and an unspoken rule within the football club.


    Players generally don¡¯t run to the head coach on their own. The manager shouts in front of him and talks about remuneration.


    On the other side of the club, Aldridge as the head coach will not come forward to talk directly to the players about the money. It is the club¡¯s CEO who is in charge, and the players themselves will not come forward.


    The traditional rule inside Millwall is "All the information inside the club cannot be publicized!"


    Henry will not publicize his appeal through the media, this is "suicide"!


    No club would like players to have a big mouth, especially when it comes to the internal affairs of the club. At least at this point, Henry is very disciplined. He faced the French media and asked if he would transfer to leave. He was determined. He said he would stay in Millwall, and the matter of renewal is still under discussion.


    The French media does not have so many unreasonable guesses. Only when Henry was crowned the European Cup champion, he is now undoubtedly a world-class star. Then his renewal is definitely different from other players. The negotiation process with the club has been protracted. Reasonable.


    Two years ago, when Millwall eliminated Monaco in the UEFA Champions League semifinal, Henry looked complicatedly at Trezeguet after the game. Today, the two are in a reversed situation and replaced Trezeguet to look at Henry complicatedly. .


    If he did not choose to leave two years ago to pursue his dream of proving his so-called first league in the world, perhaps his current fame would not be lost to Henry at least.


    Unfortunately, there is no such thing as this world.


    Whether it is him, senior Tulam, or Shevchenko, after switching to Serie A, it cannot be said that fame has declined, but assuming that he remains in Millwall, he will definitely be able to go further.


    Trezeguet pressed down the idea of ??"regret" in his heart, the road was already made, the road was chosen by himself, there was no need to be grudged, and besides, he had a good time in Juventus, even though he did not become San Siro in the same way as Shevchenko Attention darling, at least Juventus'' competitiveness is still among the top in Europe, and the overall strength is also stronger than AC Milan.


    "Tieri, you can¡¯t compare with Henrik. I¡¯m not referring to the level of competition. You must know that six years ago, when I, Henrik, Pavel, and Gareth were standing at the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium. What does Millwall have? Nothing! In addition to winning the championship and the Golden Globe in these six years, Henrik also won the hearts of all fans of the Lions, especially in, uh, uh, especially in With the departure of me, Andrea, Lilian and others, his perseverance, his loyalty, made him a club legend, totem, and banner. You must understand that starting from 1995, each transfer period The invitation letter received by Henrik, the club offer, was higher each time, and he faced countless temptations. He chose to use loyalty to return Millwall and Mr. Hall."


    Trezeguet can''t call Aldridge anymore, but he still respects Aldridge sincerely. It was the man who brought him from South America to Europe, making him less than 20 years old and making him famous. Wan, let him break out of his own small world on this land.


    Henry faced bitterness and said, "I am not jealous of Henrik. Of course he deserves the treatment he is doing now. I just think that the gap between me and him is too great, even Ronaldinho has ¡ê50,000. New contract with weekly salary, why can''t I have it?"


    "It¡¯s not clear to me, but in my impression, Mr. Hall is never stingy about salary, depending on the club¡¯s finances, but if you say it is true, this situation is very strange, logically speaking You should at least make the same money as Ronaldinho. After all, your contribution is obvious to all, and Ronaldinho is a Millwall youth player..."


    "My agent told me that Pirlo and Ronaldinho¡¯s new contracts are all 50,000 pounds weekly salary, and the club only intends to give me 30,000 pounds, maybe talk about it, it can be raised to 35,000, This is on the same level as Schneider, Zambrotta, Materazzi, and Bout."


    Trezeguet shook his head after hearing it, feeling unbelievable.


    He has played in Millwall for four years and knows that Millwall has a tradition of preferential treatment to "veterans". This is completely understandable. The team needs outstanding veterans to stay.


    Before he moved to Juventus, Millwall''s contract for him was very generous, but he still refused. He left, and the decisive factor was completely independent of the money.


    Although Henry is not a veteran, he should not make less money than non-offensive players such as Schneider and Materazzi, especially since he played so dazzling figures last season. If Millwall really does, try to ask them Can you keep the newcomers who are famous? Because of seniority, the new aid can never surpass the player who came to the team first.


    Aldridge returned to London and came to the club office building early in the morning. It was half a month before the team¡¯s summer training. He came back early and did not have to stay here to work. Many things that required his decision to be determined by a phone call Get it done.


    He came to focus on asking about Henry.


    The news on Fleet Street was buoyant, and the momentum of public opinion was not good. There was a strong smell of "forcing" Henry to transfer.


    For the media, which of Henry''s departure and stay is more sensational? Of course, the transfer left!


    So they are catching wind and shadows to build momentum, which can indeed make a gimmick.


    Aldridge listened to Adam¡¯s work report in his office.


    The summer preparation schedule is still in full swing. Adam mainly reports on the club¡¯s internal affairs.


    The renewal work is going well.


    In addition to Henry, the first team has all completed the renewal. The minimum period of renewal is four years, and the longest is five years.


    Salary expenses have naturally increased substantially, but they are all controlled within the acceptable range of Millwall.


    The new stadium is about to debut, the summer sponsorship contract has at least doubled.


    Puma, Standard Chartered Bank, one is a jersey, one is a chest advertising, plus a low-level echelon Umbro sponsorship contract, and the arrival of a series of new sponsorship contracts such as on-court sponsorship, Millwall Light can be local With annual sponsorship income of more than 70 million pounds, plus strategic partners outside the country, their annual sponsorship income is likely to exceed 100 million pounds!


    After six years of tirelessly building a business network, it has expanded its territory in the global market. With the unprecedented success of the team¡¯s arena, Millwall began to reap huge profits in real money. This is essential for the long-term development of the club. Signboards, the team''s brand effect, even if the Hall family changes the team one day, the value of the team itself will not shrink significantly.


    Finally, Aldridge paced back and forth in the office, listening to Adam elaborating on the whole process of contract renewal with Henry.


    After listening, Aldridge stopped and said in a deep voice: "He wants a weekly salary of ¡ê75,000? Is it impossible to change?"


    "His agent said so."


    "How about him?"


    "I contacted him by phone before and mentioned the matter of renewal. He said that he would delegate the full power to the broker."


    "I mean, more than a month later, what did he say to the outside world?"


    Adam thought back after a moment: "According to what he said in the interview, when asked about the club''s future, he always responded with diplomatic rhetoric."


    diplomatic language?


    That means nothing.


    After a moment of contemplation, Aldridge said lightly: "Give his agent an ultimatum. Henry does not renew the contract. The new season is a substitute. Until two years later, his contract expires and he can leave as a free man."


    Adam said hardly: "Henry''s commercial value..."


    As soon as he spoke, Aldridge knew what he was worried about.


    Such a super shooter, Millwall placed on the bench, will inevitably have a great influence, which in turn will affect the value of the club.


    Aldridge interrupted his words and said lightly: "Adam, remember, Millwall, now a giant."


    Adam heard a startled expression, then nodded firmly and said: "Understood, boss."


    After Adam left, Aldridge came to the floor-to-ceiling windows. The office building was inside the Leo training base. He could see eight regular training grounds outside the window. At this time, many young echelons were already training.


    He stood down with his hands closed and muttered: "Tieri, you made my heart hurt."


    Players like Shevchenko and Trezeguet left, Aldridge didn¡¯t think it was a betrayal. Millwall was a small temple at that time, unable to hold back the gods, and people wanted to go to a higher level without patience. Millwall is making progress together. Who can guarantee that Millwall will certainly be able to capture this picturesque scene today?


    But Aldrich did it. He made Millwall golden. Especially, he made Henry richer, more famous, more brilliant, more brilliant than the same period in history. At least, the club¡¯s highest honor, As the shooter''s highest personal field honor, he has won!


    League champion, Champions League champion!


    The best scorer in the league, the best scorer in Europe!


    What''s left?


    Golden Globe, Mr. World Football!


    But Millwall has trained two Golden Globe winners, and it turns out that here, you can get the top honors.


    What else is Henry not satisfied with?


    Can Aldridge be stingy?


    Before requesting it, first ask how much you have paid!


    If he wants to surpass Larson and Nedved on the salary, then he has to pay more than Larsen, and the most crucial one is: loyalty!


    For this reason, Millwall absolutely cannot accept the conditions offered by Henry''s agent.


    If it finally breaks down.


    Aldridge will put Henry on the bench. If he is in conflict, he will do another treatment.


    In this era, the club did not impose capital punishment on the players, because the power of the players themselves has been greatly improved.


    With a player like Henry, Millwall must first ensure his power to work, that is, he must be allowed to train, play, and play in the club. Therefore, even if Aldridge wants to hit Henry into the cold palace, he can¡¯t Throw him directly into the reserve team for two years, otherwise Henry can sue Millwall completely, and then get a ruling for early termination.


    This situation is often a special case, and there is no set standard.


    It is like if Van der Mead stays and Millwall throws him to the reserve team. Even if Van der Mede and Millwall play against the thin court, it is likely that Millwall will win.


    Because Van der Mead does not have the ability and fame to start a game at Millwall, the club believes that he is not capable enough to let him go to the reserve team, which is an acceptable category, but Henry, the World Cup, the European Cup, the league, the Champions League Grand champion, throw him into the reserve team? As long as he goes to court, Millwall will definitely lose, and the bottom line is to let him play off the bench.

 Chapter 516： Magic bird out of the mountain

    Henry is about to transfer!


    Bernabeu? Meazza? Camp Nou? Alp?


    Public opinion on Fleet Street is increasingly inclined to Henry''s inevitable transfer and departure this summer.


    Suspense is just where he will eventually go.


    The outside world has noticed the unusual signs inside Millwall.


    Millwall has always been squandering things quickly, and never drags on.


    The news that the first team¡¯s main contract has been renewed one after another continues to inspire fans of the Lions. For the fans, their team is already good enough, and it is not uncommon for any star to come to Millwall, as long as the original class It''s worth celebrating if the horses can stay.


    And to leave, Makelele''s transfer to Real Madrid was announced in June. In July, Makelele''s transaction was also completed without accident.


    Fans have regrets and regrets about Makelele leaving, but as Fleet Street analyzed, they can understand.


    At Millwall, Makelele is really hard to go further.


    Ask a hundred crazy lion fans, who are the most important three or five players on the team?


    Larson, Nedved, Southgate, Henry, Pirlo, and Ronaldinho are the names that appear most often.


    Originally, offensive players are more brilliant than defensive players, and more easily sought after. Remember, this is the practice on the football field.


    Only in a team that has a weak offensive but can succeed, the defensive players are particularly eye-catching and are regarded as the mainstay.


    However, Millwall''s offense was gorgeous and magnificent. Makelele was very important, but he could not get more fame. His light was completely covered by Millwall''s efficient and terrifying attack group.


    Real Madrid, who happened to make a move to Makelele, is the most important team to improve defense. Since Capello left, Real Madrid, which won the league title and ranked second in the league, has been in the league for the past three seasons. The line of defense is terrible. Can someone imagine the defensive stats of 62 goals conceded by Real Madrid in 38 rounds?


    In a sense, Makelele just wanted to come to the Bernabeu with the role of "savior". He is a defensive player, and defense can bring championships!


    This is the "new challenge" he told Aldrich want to transfer.


    Millwall developed from a civilian, or a diminished man, to a wealthy man after six years, and the nobles can''t talk about it, but the club''s reputation, influence, record, and attention have made them become wealthy, especially in the club. When you have a top course that matches it.


    Similarly, player value and income have also risen.


    They are rich. Most of the players who once lived in the Millwall community have moved away from here. That is their freedom.


    Aldrich lives here now and sees the faces of some young players the most.


    For example, De Rossi and Ronaldo, who grew up, do not have to live in the dormitory of the young team''s young players, but have their own apartment.


    Aldrich asked Ewen to choose a new house he wanted. He wanted to end his current single life. He already had the idea of ??getting married in his mind, or that it had come a little late.


    But before that, he still had to live in the original apartment.


    The club''s summer work was in full swing, Aldridge put aside Henry''s thing for the time being, he had other work to do.


    Sell ??players!


    This is definitely not to sell the first team players. If you want to sell the first team players, why do you renew the contract?


    Just like last year, a group of players who had reached the age and needed to play were packaged and sold to Leeds United. This year, Millwall still needs to list some players for sale.


    They have reached the age when they have to play. The strength of the youth team and the reserve team, the quality of the game, can no longer provide them with experience, so that they can better improve. If Millwall continues to keep them, but they cannot play for them. Opportunities will definitely make them "desolate" at the most critical age!


    The cost of the youth team is huge. Being able to deliver blood to the first team is a basic goal, but the first team does not need it. It can be exchanged for real money. Replenishing this investment may be profitable. It is better than smashing it.


    The youth team or the reserve team, every summer, some players are always targeted by the lower-level league teams. After the club informed that they would give up, they let them go freely, and some of them can¡¯t play at the age. , The club will provide a coaching contract for them to transfer, if they are willing.


    The power of the transfer between the youth team and the reserve team players, Aldridge is directly given to Najib, Najib has the right to make decisions, but only for the transactions under the top league, if there is an invitation from a top league club, you need to Aldridge finally decided.


    Najib¡¯s vision and professionalism are absolutely ok, Aldridge trusts him very much. In these years, Najib has not let go of any star of hope in Aldrich¡¯s eyes. It was decided that it was necessary to let go, such as Cahill, Bresiano, and their departure.


    When Aldridge reviewed a player list sent by Najib, he received a call from the club and someone came to see him and wanted to interview him about the transfer of players.


    Aldridge heard the name of the caller and immediately became happy, and notified the club to tell the other person that he was waiting for the visitor to come to the apartment in his apartment.


    At three in the afternoon, Aldridge waited for someone to come.


    He opened the door and reached out to the man in suit and leather outside the door: "Hello, Jose, the last time I met, it should have been almost two years ago?"


    "Hello, Mr. Hall."


    The person named Mourinho.


    The last time he met Aldridge, it should have been in the UEFA Champions League group match the year before, when Millwall played against Barcelona.


    But at that time, Mourinho was not the protagonist, he was only a minor role to assist Van Gaal.


    What is he doing today?


    Is it effective for Aldridge?


    Of course impossible!


    This summer, Mourinho has made up his mind.


    Never go to be an interpreter, and no longer be an assistant coach!


    I will do it alone!


    At this time, Mourinho''s appearance is still slightly green, which is relative to the appearance standard of many coaches in football. In front of Audridge, he can be more mature!


    Mourinho looked serious and restrained. He came alone and walked into the living room under the warm reception of Aldridge. He sat down on the sofa and said straight away: "Mr. Hall, I am the new coach of Benfica. Come here and want to talk to you about the transfer of the two players."


    There was tea on the table, Aldridge prepared in advance. He tilted his legs and sat opposite Mourinho, raising his hand to signal the other side to continue.


    "One is Paul Ferreira and the other is Hugo Viana. They are all Portuguese players. Given that they don¡¯t have more opportunities to exercise at Millwall, I think they can return to the domestic league. With good growth, Millwall introduced them with almost no cost, and Benfica hopes to take the two players away for ¡ê4 million."


    Mourinho said seriously, this is probably the first time in his life to enjoy the power brought by the coach, waving a check to introduce his favorite players.


    Ferreira is a substitute for the first team right back, Viana is still in the reserve team, is an attacker, and performs well.


    The two add up to 4 million pounds?


    This is obviously ridiculously low.


    But adding some more is not too much.


    After all, Viana has never proven anything, and Ferreira only made his debut in the secondary game. Whether the role can be shouldered is unknown.


    "Sorry, Jose, you are late."


    Aldridge smiled frankly.


    Mourinho frowned and asked, "Has Millwall sold these two players? We have not heard from other clubs about their offer."


    Aldridge shrugged: "No, because Millwall''s transfer window is closed in half, we will not let go of any first team players, especially under the premise that Ferreira just renewed the contract. It is our tradition to determine the lineup earlier and prepare for the battle earlier, so as to ensure the stability of the team and lay the foundation for the new season. In fact, if we are to do business, we will basically start from the end of the season to the transfer window. Everything was settled in the middle of the time, so you are late."


    "But, you used to..."


    "Yes, Millwall did release players during the preparation period, but, as you said, before, that was before, now Millwall, not Millwall before."


    Aldridge smiled, Mourinho frowned, he sighed: "So, Viana will enter the first team this season?"


    "No, we are considering renting him out, but not selling, because he has the potential, we will decide his future at the right time, he can play for the first team, we stay, otherwise we will sell him , But not now."


    Mourinho said after a moment of thought: "So, can Viana be leased to Benfica? He returns to the domestic league, and in a familiar environment, it is conducive to his growth."


    Aldridge still shook his head and said: "Sorry, we considered lending him to the Portuguese league, but Benfica is not in the list of clubs we are considering."


    Mourinho didn''t understand it at this time, and asked: "Why? I can guarantee his playing time. I have watched the video of his training in the reserve team, which is impressive."


    Aldridge smiled as before, and said softly: "Jose, the reason is better not to say."


    "No, if you respect me, please tell me frankly."


    "Well, if you insist on listening, then I will be honest. We don''t think Benfica may provide Viana with a stable exercise environment."


    Mourinho wondered: "What do you mean?"


    "Well, Benfica invited a new coach. You, a young coach who has never had coaching experience, Jose, I admire you and are optimistic about you, but I am not the boss of Benfica nor a person with power on the board. So, I have confidence in you, but Benfica may not have enough patience with you. Today we rent Viana to Benfica. If, within six months, you have class, the rest of his time in Benfica may be wasted. ."


    Mourinho showed a smile, seeming to disdain, then shook his head slightly and said to Audric: "Mr. Hall, I originally thought we were the same kind of people, young, passionate, and full of motivation to realize our dreams. I will take action down to earth, but when you become famous, you become vulgar and hypocritical. In fact, your subtext is: I, Jose Mourinho, my promise to you, promise to Viana''s playing time is worthless, not as shit! Right?"


    Aldridge smiled and shook his head, saying: "No, if you know me, you will know that I am telling the truth. For example, I have a good relationship with a coach who coaches the Ligue 1 club. His name is Moyes, he is in In the season of firefighting to take Preston, he loaned players to me, I promised, why? Because I am sure that his guarantee can be achieved, Preston ranked at the bottom of the league at that time, where could it be worse? Moyes will definitely be able to lead the team to play the second half of the season, his guarantee is reliable. But what about you? The club you are currently in is named Benfica, one of the three big names in Portugal. How high is the expectation of Benfica? You can The guarantee is absolutely satisfactory to the board of directors, will you lead the team through this entire season? Is it guaranteed to stabilize the coach with a record that matches Benfica''s status? You can''t guarantee it, so I said that Benfica has unstable factors."


    Mourinho stood up with a ridiculous smile and pointed to Aldridge as if he still wanted to say something, and finally turned away, and when he walked out of Aldridge''s door, his eyes became The sharpness is extremely sharp, and the expression is slightly greasy.


    One day!


    I will prove that I am stronger than you!


    At that time, could you still talk to me with this attitude? Do you question me? !

 Chapter 517： Polydisperse

    In the quiet living room, Aldridge''s expression became a little helpless.


    Mourinho left without saying a word.


    It seems that the conversation between the two broke up.


    Aldrich, as the person who came here, can understand that he just took office and coached the club for the first time. The last thing he wants to hear is the doubts of others.


    Mourinho is enjoying the power of the head coach, perhaps he is excited on the way to the negotiation in person.


    So Aldridge didn''t want to talk about the reasons at first.


    The other party insists on listening and is not satisfied after listening. Who blames it?


    Aldrich was just telling the truth. He couldn''t give the player the opponent because he was Mourinho.


    The future is the future, the present is the present, and of course the situation is different.


    He is responsible for the players, and he is also very cautious on loan. Mourinho''s initial coaching career was not smooth, and he did not stay long in Benfica. If Adrich really gave Viana to the other party, it would be too irresponsible.


    Aldridge didn''t take the Magic Bird into his heart, and he picked up the list sent by Najib and thought about it seriously.


    This list was summarized by Najib.


    Some players recommend listing transfers, and some players recommend renting out to observe growth. In the loan list, there are also clubs that recommend renting out. This is the conclusion made by Naji and his team based on the characteristics of players and the target club.


    Summer is never calm for football, and a giant club is not calm.


    Henry''s affairs are unresolved, and there are players within Millwall who have submitted applications for transfer.


    "How much is Manchester United bidding? 2 million? Ha ha, let 5 million pounds go."


    Aldridge is remotely commanded at home. Richardson of the youth team submitted a transfer application. At the same time, Manchester United sent an offer of 2 million. It seems that they have already privatized the music.


    Richardson is a defender, 17 years old this year, came to the club last year.


    Two million pounds sold, which has already turned over.


    Reminiscent of the lack of Manchester United is the defender, Aldridge estimates that Ferguson also wants to get some good seedlings early, and will be able to seamlessly become the team''s main force in the future.


    Milwaukee, the defender, was too rich, and Richardson didn''t show too much talent. Of course, this is a horizontal contrast. For example, Mex, Lescott is more talented than the other side.


    But maybe it is Richardson¡¯s local account, or Manchester United dare not spend too much money on the players who have not played well, really let them quote Mex, the defender selected for the French low-age echelon national team, Manchester United don''t report a ¡ê5 million wait for Millwall to bargain, is that right?


    Richardson''s transfer was finalized within two days, with a ¡ê3.5 million transfer to Manchester United.


    On the same day, Wenger called Aldridge.


    The professor also took a fancy to Millwall''s young players.


    Seaman is old and Arsenal is going to prepare Seaman for his successor.


    Arsenal missed Millwall''s third goalkeeper: Richard Wright.


    This goalkeeper who has never played in the official Millwall game!


    However, Wright did stay on the ground at Millwall for 6 years, received 6 years of training, the youth team, the reserve team, along the way, 6 years!


    The success of Millwall''s first team can be said that Wright has no substantive contribution, only to accumulate suspected hard work.


    However, the youth team and the reserve team have also been very glorious in recent years, especially for some records, which have his credit.


    He was the goalkeeper of the England U21 national team two years earlier.


    Even so, Aldridge has never expected Wright because Bout is also very young, only 26 years old this year, what does this goalkeeper represent? Represents at least 8 to 10 years of professional life.


    When it is time to find a successor for Bout, Aldridge can have more choices.


    Arsenal estimates that Millwall''s quality is guaranteed. The goalkeeper considers Wright''s age. As long as he can successfully succeed Seaman, this position will be worry-free for ten years!


    Wenger was really not stingy, and offered an offer of 3 million pounds.


    For a player who has never played in the top professional league, especially the goalkeeper, ¡ê3 million, it is really not low!


    Not only Wright, Wenger also fell in love with 19-year-old Jeffers.


    Jeffers has no future in the club. At least this is what Milwall¡¯s internal coaching team has evaluated. He has been listed in the summer. Because at the age of 19, Jeffers is talented and capable, but if he can¡¯t be at the top as soon as possible With the league standing, he may say goodbye to the top league stage forever. Millwall could not give him the opportunity. The players who were on loan were already unhappy, and simply sold them.


    Aldridge and Wenger reached an agreement on the phone, Wright + Jeffers, a total of 8 million pounds packaged and sold to Arsenal.


    Arsenal had just left his forefoot, and Arsenal''s foe also knocked on Millwall''s transfer door.


    Tottenham opened an offer that Millwall could not refuse.


    ¡ê8 million for Ledley King.


    Aldridge really hesitated, and finally decided to sell it directly.


    The central defender first team is not short of people now, leaving Metselde and Balzali as substitutes. Neil Wanjin has no hard work. There is no need to make the lineup too crowded. At this age of King, ¡ê8 million is not low.


    Matthew Taylor moved to Portsmouth for ¡ê1 million.


    German midfielder Balich returned to the Bundesliga with 3 million pounds, playing for Leverkusen.


    In the final stage of selling the players, Aldridge and Robson also made a heavyweight sale.


    The three of Jenas, Parker and Nolan were taken away by Newcastle United. The Magpies paid 12 million pounds plus the floating terms after the three league appearances reached the standard. The maximum price can reach 16 million pounds.


    Robson turned the tide last season. He has a solid coaching position in Newcastle United. This season will naturally have a higher pursuit. Therefore, some players who are not wanted from Millwall are a bit shabby. It may be associated with Leeds United. After the season''s generous progress into the Champions League qualifiers, Millwall''s elimination of players does not mean that it is street goods, you can buy it everywhere!


    These 20-year-old players are really in the early days of Millwall. The first team has the same young and talented talent reserves in these positions. If they are really waiting for opportunities in Millwall, they may be fooled here. Too.


    Players like Parker and Jenas came to visit Aldridge before leaving, solemnly bid farewell.


    They don¡¯t complain that the club sells them. Being a good person before playing football is a training strategy that Millwall has always been. They are inferior to others. They can¡¯t compete in the team and have to go far away. At the moment of separation, they Listen to Aldridge¡¯s last teachings with gratitude.


    In fact, Aldridge just let them play football, concentrate on the field, go to other clubs, can also stand out, some of the truths that are often talked about, different people say it has different effects, anyway, Aldridge preached to them , They listened carefully and kept in mind deeply.


    The selling stage is over and Millwall settles his accounts. This summer, the penny on the transfer market has not been spent, but the club first earned nearly 80 million pounds!


    VanderMead, ¡ê15 million.


    Makelele, ¡ê28 million.


    Reserve team and youth team, 35.5 million pounds + 4 million pounds of floating income.


    Summer preparations are about to begin, and the transfer work of the major clubs is in full swing. The basic results have been shown. Those who can buy it have bought it early, and there is not much hope for it. The soap opera is a game of the giants. For most "poor middle peasants" clubs, the club lineup should also be established, the rest is that they can''t buy it, they can only rent it as a targeted reinforcement.


    Millwall''s first team lineup has not yet been finalized because Aldridge cannot convince the two players to stay at ease and stay on the bench.


    Joaquin and Vicente, the Spanish angel wings.


    The two did not want to wave goodbye to Millwall directly, but they had a strong desire to play, hoping to get more playing opportunities, especially in high-level events.


    It was at this time that Valencia, who was defeated by Millwall in the Champions League finals, ushered in a huge "change".


    Valencia has one of the best midfielders in Europe. What do you think of when you combine the two?


    Was dug!


    Just like Millwall at that time, it is normal for their team to be dug out of a famous star.


    "Little Flea" Lopez went to Lazio for $32 million.


    Barcelona, ??who was born almost free to join Valencia, was recalled by Barcelona. After three years of time, Valencia made 24 million!


    Moratti took Falinos from Mestalla with a $18 million check.


    One of Valencia''s best midfielders in Europe combined with a counter-attack core frontcourt system is almost hollowed out!


    Valencia, who has made a lot of money, wants to strengthen the lineup and sent Millwall a quotation of 20 million pounds. He wants to pack and take Vicente and Huajin.


    After Millwall refused, they raised another 4 million pounds, a total of 24 million pounds. Millwall was still unmoved.


    Seeing that the summer preparations are about to start, Cooper has no choice but to let the club rent people if they can''t buy them.


    Vicente and Joaquin are not interested in the transfer, because Valencia seems to be the place to sell stars. Is the transfer going and waiting to be sold?


    However, the situation is different when rented.


    Valencia was the third place in La Liga last season, and there is a Champions League to play in the new season!


    Go exercise to improve, and then come back to fight for usurpation at the giant Millwall.


    After discussing with the coaching staff, Aldridge agreed to the request of the two players to apply for a loan to Valencia.


    At least under the premise that they have just renewed their contract, Aldridge does not have to worry about the situation where the renter cannot return.


    The work is carried out step by step, and the players of the reserve team are also loaned out one by one.


    Carrick, Squillage, Drogba, Meeks, Hengrande, Crouch, Defoe, Viana, Evra...


    Millwall has leased these players to different leagues through the club relations network established over the years. France and England are the majority, but some also go to the Netherlands.


    When all the dust settled, Aldridge was too late to take a breath, and the club''s upcoming summer training and recruitment work was put on the table again.


    Since the extension of the contract has retained the main force, only Makelele left, Gattuso is logically at the top, so the signing work is very easy, the key is to renew the contract, the signing is definitely slower than others, but it does not matter, Millwall signing has never been No one is robbing or arguing with them. They are leading the way in Europe. They are introducing the future star of hope, a contemporary well-known star, and any giants robbing. Millwall is not involved.


    Tomorrow is the date when Millwall¡¯s preparation for the new season kicks off. The players¡¯ holidays are over, with the exception of some players. Those players who have played in the European Cup and advanced to the knockout have been notified by the club to extend the holiday.


    Aldridge accidentally received a call from Adam on this day.


    "The boss, Real Madrid''s new chairman, Florentino Perez, came to London and invited you to dinner at the Gordon Ramsay restaurant tonight."

 Chapter 518： Six names

    Aldridge was close to the end of get off work when he received the call from Adam. Tomorrow the team will start training. The coaching staff is prepared one step in advance. This is a practice formed in the past few years.


    He smiled while holding the phone: "If I say that I don''t have time to leave the appointment?"


    "Uh, here, then I will forward your reply to Real Madrid."


    "No need, just kidding."


    Real Madrid¡¯s presidential election, the Sens era only won a league title, the best record in the Champions League is the runner-up, no matter how he builds, Real Madrid club members have exhausted his patience, Florentino defeated Sens with an absolute advantage, Ascended the throne of Real Madrid''s chairman.


    Immediately after taking office, Florentino honored his campaign promises and paid the bargain price of Barcelona directly to bring Figo to the Bernabeu. The famous rebellion in the history of the Barcelona club was born.


    Florentino started to form the Galactic Warship. After signing Figo, he immediately came to London to invite Aldridge for dinner. Needless to know, he was definitely looking for the next member for the Galactic Warship.


    Aldridge¡¯s new home is in an upscale villa community on the north side of the Thames. He is very satisfied with the place selected by Ewen. At least it is not like a manor in the suburbs. It seems to be isolated from the world. He lives in the community. Friends may not necessarily be acquainted, but in daily life, you can see familiar faces and say hello to each other. This is a normal life.


    When it was time for get off work, Aldridge made a call to Ewen. He didn''t elaborate. He just told her to eat out, and then he drove home to pick her up.


    The new home is being renovated. She stays at home and works as a supervisor. If there is any dissatisfaction, she will come to the decoration team on the spot.


    By the time Aldridge drove home, Yiwen had changed into a refreshing dress.


    "Is there anything good today?"


    Yiwen asked curiously after sitting in the car.


    Aldridge doesn''t really advocate dining out, celebrities. Sometimes when you go out, you will encounter trivial things. At home, you are quiet.


    Driving on the road to West London, Aldridge briefly told Ewen about the dinner invitation.


    "What do you think?"


    Yiwen''s eyes rolled, and this meal had a lot of promise.


    "Just a meal."


    "Just socializing?"


    "Well, if the other party does not represent a club, I might refuse."


    "Huh, yeah, even though Millwall is called a giant by the outside world, the old masters have not done enough homework with Millwall."


    Aldridge raised his eyebrows and said nothing.


    Gordon Ramsay Restaurant is a Michelin-rated 3-star restaurant. It is a place that is worth all tourists or rich people to "fly" to enjoy dinner. There is no history, but just one thing: the food is delicious.


    The restaurant is located in West London, to be precise, in the Chelsea district!


    Aldrich¡¯s friends, social circles, at least within the scope of England, whether it is playing cards or drinking or partying, basically no one will invite him to West London, even if there is a magnificent, really high-end atmosphere.


    Obviously, many people in West London do not welcome Aldridge, they all have the background of Chelsea fans.


    Richness and quality are two different things.


    Sometimes it is because people have money, so they do things with impunity.


    Aldrich came out after dining at a restaurant in West London with Melanie three years ago, and found that his car was messed up with graffiti on his stool...


    Since then, Aldridge has rarely visited West London. He has no resentment in his heart. This is a normal thing.


    If the Chelsea coach¡¯s car dares to park in the Millwall area for one night, it is estimated that either the car will disappear or the car will become a pile of scrap the next day.


    Football is a popular sport in this country. The most common entertainment, the public, is often not elegant, and there are so many fanatic fans who like to provoke trouble.


    Therefore, the Real Madrid people wanted to discuss business with Aldridge, but they were on the site of Millwall''s enemies. What can be said? It can only be said that the preparation for Real Madrid has not been done well, but it cannot be blamed for the lack of sincerity.


    The chairman has come in person. What more sincerity can there be? Red carpet? That''s not sincerity, it''s brain damage


    It wasn''t until dark that Aldridge drove too late. After all, East-West London was a bit far away, and he rushed to traffic during get off work hours.


    Real Madrid does not have the money to pack up the entire restaurant. After all, the consumption here is very high. You can''t just eat and drink with public funds just after you come on stage?


    They came with 7 people, Florentino is the protagonist, the others, his assistants, club officials, are also supporting roles.


    Together with Aldridge and Ewen, a total of nine people occupy two tables in the corner of the restaurant, and Aldridge has four tables.


    When they met, Aldridge shook hands with Florentino. The two smiled and met for the first time. There was no hindrance to talking in Spanish, and they soon became acquainted with conversations on non-football topics.


    There is a difference between people and people, and the same is true for the chairman and the chairman.


    Florentino has his own business empire. He is Spain''s second-largest construction giant, and he can work hard to make this. His communication skills must be good. As the chairman of Real Madrid, his vision is definitely different.


    Aldrich admires and even admires this kind of person, not to mention that the Hall family is now rich in oil, but its real ability cannot be measured by wealth.


    Florentino has increased Real Madrid''s business value by 20 times in the past ten years, and its personal group''s assets have also increased by more than 5 times. How much wisdom can ordinary people imagine?


    Needless to say, Florentino created the brand of Real Madrid in the new era, and at the same time, through the Real Madrid platform, he rapidly expanded his own business empire.


    What is behind Real Madrid? Supported by the Spanish government, supported by the consortium, and building the brand of Real Madrid, and through the Real Madrid platform to reach various business circles around the world, behind this scene, how can Florentino''s own business empire not benefit?


    Aldrich has no villain''s opinion that the other party is borrowing Real Madrid to use power for personal gain. On the contrary, this is just a win-win-like business model that benefits both. Florentino is not a public servant. The more utilitarian times, the more he wants to be good A public servant who is safe and self-serving may often fail to do great things.


    Selfish desires make people burst out with endless impetus.


    Dinner is not rich, and you can enjoy the food until the end. Everyone is not a villager who has never seen the world. The sea and the sea are like a leopard. If you leave a mess of food on the table, you can¡¯t eat it. Despised by people around.


    Aldridge had dinner with Florentino, and the other guests around him knew what they were witnessing when they saw it. The paparazzi naturally heard the news and took photos from an angle outside the restaurant.


    Throughout the dinner, Aldridge and Florentino had a great time, but no word was about football.


    It wasn''t until the end of dinner that Florentino made sense.


    "Aldrich, we heard a lot of news about Henry. He hasn¡¯t renewed his contract with Millwall. I don¡¯t know what happened between you and him. Out of respect, I won¡¯t ask. But Real Madrid is right. Henry is interested. I hope he can put on Real Madrid''s shirt next season. If he becomes your trouble at Millwall, it will trouble you. I think we can cooperate to solve your troubles and give Mill Wall brings great rewards."


    Florentino spoke with Aldridge in a dull voice. Probably, it was like talking about business. The business they talked about was player trading.


    Real Madrid has bought Figo, but Florentino found that there may be a chance to win Henry, why not?


    Such a super star who became very popular last season also has intercontinental and even world influence, which may be more sensational than the effect brought by Figo.


    After all, the great effect of digging Figo is only for Real Madrid.


    Let Real Madrid fans happy, relieve gas and hate!


    And Henry is the real European Champions League Golden Boot, European Golden Boot, has won many trophies in Millwall for two years, and there are three heavyweights! Coupled with the honor of the national team, if this deal can be reached, what Real Madrid fans think about Florentino is not important. The Galaxy Battleship has at least a prototype, and the brand effect is what Florentino is most concerned about. .


    Aldrich likes Florentino, to be precise, likes the other''s style of doing things.


    Perhaps there are some invisible methods in the process of digging Figo, but that is also the situation.


    When Florentino did not come to power and was not the chairman, he did not have a reasonable and reasonable status to negotiate with the official Barcelona, ??and because of the enemy of the two clubs, the positive conversation must be the ending of the collapse, so use some private means, It''s understandable to be in a place.


    When Florentino officially takes office, if he is determined to bring in a certain player, then it must be with enough sincerity to launch the attack personally, and the offense behind it is very rare.


    Millwall definitely has to deal with many European clubs and do player trading. In the past, now, in the past, this is inevitable.


    However, do you like the other party''s fair and honest negotiation?


    Or do you like conspirators who use dirty methods behind their backs?


    Obviously, the former.


    Aldridge wiped his mouth with a napkin, and was about to refuse Florentino, when the other party pushed a card in front of him with several names written on it.


    "Since we just signed Figo, the club¡¯s debt exceeds 200 million euros. This is not a secret, so we cannot use cash to conclude the transaction, but in other ways, I believe that if Millwall is willing to conduct this time with Real Madrid Cooperation, both parties can get a mutually satisfactory result."


    After Florentino finished speaking, he took the glass and drank.


    He didn¡¯t come to ask Aldrich to do business. It¡¯s okay to be successful. It doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s not successful. In the business of business, the world is not around him. The business is not righteous. Real Madrid only needs to be sincere enough to do this Power, he is worthy of his own conscience.


    If you fail to sign, you cannot sign.


    But if the reason for not signing is that you have not worked hard, this is unacceptable for the successful.


    Aldridge didn''t rush back to the other party, picked up the card and looked down at the name on the card.


    I was really surprised.


    Anelka.


    Ballack.


    Kalumb.


    Redondo.


    Guti.


    Casillas!


    Real Madrid has no cash to pay for Henry''s transfer fee.


    If Henry transfers, it may be a record high price.


    Before Real Madrid sent a quotation of more than 30 million pounds, but that was the era of Sens.


    After Florentino came to power, they bought Figo with the money, so they have no money now.


    The six names that appear on this card are obviously Florentino in exchange for Henry''s chips!

 Chapter 519： Ultimatum

    Aldridge carefully studied the six names on the card and found that Real Madrid had negotiated this time, at least in the transfer negotiation.


    They have no money!


    But without money does not mean business can not be done.


    Anelka is not only a burden that Real Madrid wants to get rid of, but if the deal can be reached, Anelka can become a substitute for Henry. The quality is insufficient, at least the strength is obvious to all.


    In the summer, Millwall sold Makelele, and Florentino wanted to clean the old part of the Sans era after he came to power.


    Barak, Redondo, Calumb, if Millwall wants to use to supplement the midfielder, all can be taken away!


    Guti¡¯s situation is special, and his loyalty is his, but Florentino believes that Guti has no star taste. In his ideal puzzle, there is no place for him, but Guti has talent and strength. If you want, Real Madrid is no problem. The inclusion of his name mainly reflects a sincerity. It is not simply that Florentino fools Aldridge with a group of players he wants to throw away.


    Casillas is a temptation.


    Casillas came out last season, benefiting from Igna''s injury.


    As for Casillas, who was given eight goals in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals for the fifth place in the league, now I want to say how great Casillas will be. Oh, all European fans will laugh, no one takes it seriously.


    But Millwall¡¯s goalkeeper has been controversial for the past six years.


    Keller in the first two years, and Bout in the next four years, it seems that the goalkeeper will always be their most worrying link.


    Casillas has talents, as well as the substantive performance of the top-level exhibitions. From Florentino''s point of view, if Casillas can be exchanged for Henry, this transaction is not a loss.


    Fan reaction will not be too big, after all, Casillas has not formally draped for Real Madrid a full season.


    This is often the case in club negotiations. Secretly, players are sad and do not know when they will become the bargaining chips in power.


    In fact, Real Madrid''s negotiating team also considered adding an African player to this list, but was deleted by Florentino, thinking it was a humiliation to Millwall.


    The African player''s name is: Eto''o.


    call!


    Aldridge took a deep breath.


    These six names really made him think for a long time.


    Simply speaking, if Henry can exchange for Barak, Casillas, Redondo, and Guti, Anelka is excluded by Aldridge for non-power reasons, and Karenbu is completely due to competitive factors.


    One for four words.


    From the perspective of value, this sale is really a big profit!


    He doesn''t consider Casillas. Will Guti, a loyal pronoun, refuse to transfer? Anyway, if he nods and promises, Real Madrid will do the rest.


    Is it difficult for the club to let a player leave?


    Aldridge thought for a long time, and finally sighed in the bottom of his heart.


    Fateless!


    It¡¯s not that he doesn¡¯t want Casillas, nor that he doesn¡¯t want the Guti who always delivers some incredible shots. It¡¯s not bad to continue his apprenticeship with Barak. Redondo can also bring experience to the players. , To promote the growth of pure defensive midfielders such as Gattuso and Pedretti.


    Unfortunately, Millwall can''t take them anymore.


    Millwall became famous and just reached a new peak.


    Now, what the club needs most is stability!


    Where does stability come from? Popular!


    How could he allow Casillas to replace Bouthan in the hearts of the players?


    If even such a two-time Champions League starter can help the team get so many honors can be abandoned, is the club still a little human? Do you still have half respect for the players? How can the united team condense a strong fighting power? Isn¡¯t everyone self-defeating and worried that the next one will be replaced?


    The cohesive force of the united and successful team itself is extremely strong. Ask all Millwall players, who is better, Bout and Casillas? 100% of all players will say bout!


    They trained together, fought side by side, celebrated together, and tasted the taste of failure together. What kind of friendship did they have in such a time? Outsiders can be very light, which star to replace someone, but in fact, the locker room will not accept.


    They succeed, they win, why suddenly give up their comrades? Going to meet a stranger again?


    Unsuccessful teams will make changes, which will be praised, even if they fail, they will still be bold.


    The successful team can make further changes, which is awesome!


    Millwall is today, and there are places where Aldridge can''t override personal power.


    The club can''t sell the main force if the players themselves have no problems! Can not move the player''s main position!


    Players want to leave, they can leave, but the club must not force the players to leave. This will cause a great rebound. Fans, locker rooms, all sides, Audridge must be thoughtful.


    If he did so, with his authority, the locker room wouldn''t rebel, but if the hearts of the people were scattered, could the team take it?


    "Sorry, Mr. Chairman, I can¡¯t lie that we have no problem with Henry. If I say no problem, it seems that I lack the sincerity of dialogue. As reported by the media, we have encountered difficulties in renewing the contract with Henry. If this summer cannot To solve this problem, I will not sell him. Sometimes, the club must show courage and confidence. If Henry is sold by Millwall because of troubles, does Millwall still have a trace of dignity? In the past six years, I have sold many excellent players, but that was before, Millwall needed to transfer the market income, but now, our financial situation is ideal, as a club that has just been promoted to become one of the top European giants, One of our current principles is to never sell the headed player with the goal of economic benefit."


    Aldridge pushed the card back to Florentino, who frowned slightly: "I think this is a cooperation in the athletic field. If Henry cannot play his value in Millwall, it will directly affect Mill. Real''s competitive strength, Real Madrid can''t pay cash, so we use player exchange to complete the transaction, so that Millwall''s competitive strength can be supplemented or even improved."


    Aldrich shook his head and said: "Mr. Chairman, this deal is very tempting, but my focus is on the image of Millwall. If things really go in the worst direction, a year and a half later, Real Madrid can Provide the contract directly to Henry. At that time, you have a good chance of getting him. Now, the probability is zero."


    This result frustrated Florentino, but he was not discouraged.


    There is no way, this is the case of Real Madrid, there is no money for the time being, but if you sell Redondo, Anelka, Barak, after them, Real Madrid may have money, but then, the new season of the Premier League is estimated to begin. In accordance with Millwall''s past practice, after the official start of the new season, they never let go of any player, neither in winter!


    Buy and sell, can''t talk.


    But Florentino and Aldrich still shook hands friendlyly, even if the scene was filmed by the media.


    Florentino wanted to bring a superstar to Bernabeu. He tried hard and would make the fans satisfied. Our chairman is going to talk about big business, but nothing happened. At least I have this heart.


    And Aldridge was not afraid of being exposed to this meeting, he also sent a signal to the outside world.


    Henry, I don¡¯t sell!


    Yes, even the new chairman of Real Madrid, the chairman who spends a lot of money on his face, does not change his color.


    The next day, Millwall players returned to the team.


    Aldridge drove to the club, and he was thinking about things along the way.


    The team began to prepare for the summer today, and Henry''s things have to be resolved. Otherwise, outside public speculation will disturb the military.


    Regardless of Henry''s qualifications at Millwall, at least he was the hero of the team''s triumph last season. No one can ignore a super forward who scored 49 goals and 16 assists in a single season.


    He wanted to resolve this matter quickly, but in the training base, someone wanted to settle the matter more quickly than he did.


    Aldridge was on his way to Adam¡¯s office, intending to let Adam hold a press conference to announce that Henry and Millwall still have two years of contract, and he must fulfill the contract. Millwall will not accept any other clubs during this period. Quote.


    This is a public relations stance, which is very different from the casual interview.


    During the interview, you can say no, no, no.


    But there were countless examples of selling.


    Once Millwall held a press conference, things became very formal. This is related to the public image of a club. If it was sold, wouldn''t Millwall equal his own slapped face?


    Will become the laughing stock of European football.


    Adam''s office door was not closed, and before Aldridge walked in, he heard someone clamoring.


    "Crazy! You must be crazy! 40 million pounds! 40 million pounds! Juventus has already issued 40 million pounds! This is the latest world record for transfers, what are you dissatisfied with? ?If Thierry left freely after two years, you lost 40 million pounds plus the salary paid to him in two years!"


    This year the world record for player transfer value has been continuously updated.


    In the past, Crespo joined Lazio for 36.5 million pounds, and then Real Madrid raked in 38 million pounds.


    Juventus has now raised the price to 40 million pounds and wants to take Henry from Millwall.


    The person who made the unbelievable cry was Henry''s agent. Adam, who was sitting behind his desk, was expressionless. He actually felt that if 40 million pounds were sold to Henry, it would do more harm than good to the club.


    Anyway, in terms of public opinion, Henry does not have an advantage. At least, there have been extreme elements among Millwall fans who let Henry get out.


    What happened to the heroes last season? Awesome?


    Nedved, they have devoted six years in silence, which is worse than you? They signed the renewal without saying a word, never delayed, never once!


    Don''t want to stay, then go!


    Aldridge pushed in, Henry''s agent closed his mouth immediately, and Adam stood up to greet him.


    Aldridge turned his head lightly and asked the agent: "What about the Henry?"


    "He is on vacation and enjoys a happy time helping the French national team to win the European Cup."


    "He sure will not renew the contract?"


    "No! We can''t agree on Millwall''s conditions!"


    "Just because of money?"


    "Of course not. If he goes to Juventus, his career will be even more brilliant! Serie A is the world''s first league, the Premier League, it''s a little bit worse."


    Aldridge nodded and ignored each other.


    He took out his cell phone, found Henry''s private phone and dialed it.


    Henry''s agent''s expression became slightly nervous, focusing on Aldridge''s move.


    "Boss?"


    When the phone was connected, Aldridge heard Henry''s voice.


    Aldridge said coldly to the phone with a blank expression: ¡°Tieri, I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re thinking, but I only say it once, your holiday is over, come back tomorrow to participate in preseason training, except for Mill Wall, you won¡¯t go anywhere. Rather than let me witness you go to Turin to rot, I would rather you ruin Millwall, a place that has made you!"

 Chapter 520： Start signing

    Henry, who is in France, listened to the disconnection sound on the phone, and the whole person fell like an ice cellar.


    He was confused and panicked.


    He was angry and wronged these days!


    The conditions for the club to extend his contract were too chilling for him.


    The agent conveyed Juventus'' sincerity.


    The transfer fee has been opened to 40 million pounds!


    Personal treatment was also very generous, and even Juventus manager Mogi called him and joked that he had already found a new home for him in Turin.


    Henry felt he was about to be driven away by Millwall!


    So he was unhappy and a little angry.


    He didn¡¯t want to go, even though he didn¡¯t have the perception of Larsen¡¯s coming, at least when he could defeat Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Manchester United with the team, he was known as the top team opponent in Europe in the past two years. In Millwall, he can accomplish the great cause that others look up to!


    European Golden Boots, European Champions Golden Boots!


    Was he a winger who had fantasised before? Dare to dream like this? !


    And all this was given to him by Aldrich.


    Therefore, when his boss''s voice was cold, as if announcing his death sentence, he could not bear the sudden blow, and the whole person panicked.


    Aldridge asked him to return to the team tomorrow, but he hung up the phone and immediately packed his luggage to the airport and immediately returned to London!


    At the same time, in the office building of the Leo training base, Aldridge hung up the phone and carried his mobile phone in his pocket. Henry''s agent was suddenly stunned.


    Then he growled at Aldridge.


    "Hall, you are too shameless to do this! Destroy Henry? You even said to destroy him! What is your head thinking? Now let Henry transfer, 40 million pounds! You made two years on him 30 million pounds!"


    That''s right, two years ago, Henry, who was the club''s highest-value recruit in the club''s history, had a transfer value of ¡ê10 million.


    Aldrich didn''t care about this person at all. He was different from many big head coaches. He had absolute authority in the club himself, and he couldn''t confuse his power in his own hands. Therefore, he negotiated with the player''s agent. Let Adam do it.


    At first, in order to avoid suspicion, he did not want to sit at the negotiating table with Andrew.


    "A press conference was held to announce to Henry that he will stay with the team and he will fulfill his contract at Millwall."


    Aldrich dropped this sentence and turned away. Behind him, the agent was still roaring, even grabbing Adam''s collar and shouting: "Go and persuade the madman, 40 million pounds, you don''t want anything. ?what else?"


    Adam said pretendingly: "Be dignified, the dignity of the club."


    The agent ran out of Adam''s office and called Henry in the hope that Henry would not come back to the club.


    But his phone was just connected. Henry, who was already sitting in a taxi and rushing to the airport, said heavily, he didn¡¯t wait for him to speak first. Me, I just want to play calmly."


    Henry knew that he could not leave, and he could not leave as a free man.


    In that case, he may become the biggest traitor in the history of Millwall Club!


    He didn''t want his glorious years at Millwall to end this way.


    I don''t want to recall this tumultuous time in the future but it was accompanied by all the fans of the crazy lion''s spur on him!


    The weekly salary of 30,000 pounds is a bit shabby compared to his performance last season, but Henry can''t imagine him breaking away from the club with a "Judah" image at this time.


    Henry''s agent saw that his deeds of yangfengyin were about to be revealed, and he did nothing at all. When the official press conference of Millwall was held, the scene was very lively!


    Before Adam said a word, the agent rushed into the scene and picked up the microphone to insult Aldridge frantically.


    "Hall himself said that he would destroy Henry! Just because he didn''t want Henry to play for other teams! Is such a coach worth respecting?..."


    He shouted unscrupulously here, discrediting Audridge, trying to exacerbate the conflict between Henry and Millwall, and Henry had to end.


    The reporters at the scene were happy, too. They were worried that there was no news. This is the real time for this drama!


    Adam didn''t block the opponent, anyway, Aldridge could not verify what he said by calling Henry in the office.


    What if Henry and his agent stood together?


    As long as Adam and Aldrich deny, who can prove that these two people are true?


    And Adam has enough confidence to announce that Henry stays in the team.


    After the agent was unable to continue, he was invited by the security guards and followed by a large group of reporters. There were still many reporters on the scene. Everyone should listen to what Millwall said.


    Adam announced on the spot that Henry would stay in the team, and that he would fulfill his contract, and he could still play for Millwall for at least two years.


    When the reporter on the spot asked about the question that Millwall and Henry were renewed, Adam replied frankly: "We prepared a contract for Henry with a weekly salary of 50,000 pounds. This was the top salary of the Premier League last year. We I think this contract is enough to show our sincerity, but Henry¡¯s agent demanded a weekly salary of 75,000 pounds, and it was accompanied by a series of floating terms, including Henry¡¯s bonus of 500,000 pounds after Henry won the league¡¯s best shooter. Millwall can¡¯t accept the conditions they have issued. We don¡¯t deny the importance of Henry, but he can¡¯t override the team, break our salary system, and also bring instability to the locker room. So, Our renewal cannot proceed smoothly."


    "Since no agreement can be reached on the issue of contract renewal, why doesn¡¯t Millwall sell Henry? After Real Madrid withdrew, Millwall received a Juventus offer of up to 40 million pounds. Can¡¯t this move Millwall? Or is it true that the agent said? Hall is going to destroy Henry and let Henry stay in the club and decline?"


    Real Madrid''s withdrawal came after Figo''s transfer. Florentino came to London yesterday and used another way to make the final effort, instead of real money like Juventus.


    Adam shook his head and said: "We signed a four-year contract with Henry two years ago, so he has to work for Millwall for four years, we leave him to let him continue to work for Millwall, continue to work, this What¡¯s wrong? Is it true that the contract is invalid? If the contract is not binding, is Millwall going to quote Beckham now, Manchester United refused, and Manchester United is going to destroy Beckham? Or maybe we go to quote Owen , Liverpool does not sell, leaving Irving, is Liverpool going to destroy Irving? Your assumptions, and the words of the brokerage population, are nonsense."


    ...


    Training teams before the previous season have always begun with ease or high spirits.


    But this year''s preseason training, Millwall seems to be shrouded in a cloud.


    Aldridge regretted his hasty decision. He felt that he should let Adam hold a local press conference when the team set out for Asia three days later.


    This is good, the players have just returned to the team, and the training ground has almost become a circus.


    On the periphery of the training base, journalists swarming in, and a large number of fans with complex expressions are watching them.


    Italian internationals like Pirlo have not yet returned to the team. They can go directly to Asia to meet the team after a week. Although only Zambrotta officially played, the others, after all, went to the Netherlands, Belgium, and Italy. If you don''t play, don''t you train? Is it easy to go on vacation all by yourself?


    Therefore, it is appropriate to give them the necessary time to rest, and some are given back.


    The team lineup is not complete, and the players are also interested. No one wants to be surrounded by reporters on the first day of returning to the team. Based on their experience, they know that as long as they leave the club, there must be pervasive reporters who want to interview them. Ask about Henry''s transfer rumors or club resolutions.


    Nedved, Southgate and the two wore training shirts to jog along the court without supervision. Other players followed up and started to warm up.


    Aldridge was a little irritable and gave Klinsmann training, and he returned to the office.


    In the office, he uses other work to divert his attention.


    Team recruitment!


    Recruitment of the local youth training camp has been completed, and the younger echelons have added, but Najib told him a reality: not optimistic.


    There are not many good players in England.


    This situation is very complicated to say, because it includes the influence of the ethnic, cultural, economic, environmental, and especially the football industry on young players!


    The most intuitive point is that the child is interested in football in the growing stage, so who will he imitate to play football?


    Basically, there are teams in every city. If they support local teams since they were young, they often go to watch the games of these teams. Then the style of playing is imitated, and naturally they will imitate and support the stars in the team.


    In other words, the environment of the English Premier League focuses on confrontation, rough technology, and extends to tactics, teams, etc., which are actually affecting the new generation bit by bit.


    Europe is not big, and the boundaries between countries are sometimes blurred, but here, there are very different football styles and the difference in talent training. In addition to the system and institutional issues of the entire football environment, style cannot be ignored A little bit.


    Therefore, when Spain, Germany, Italy, and France can all produce a generation of leaders, the talents of England are gradually dying. The Premier League itself is blameless. The historical style of football in this region has also been deeply affected.


    When the core of the football philosophy of this land is a style that advocates fierce confrontation and wide-opening, it cannot be expected that the next generation will become delicate and gorgeous under the ears of such an environment, and can show the master level of softness and rigidity.


    So England''s top-tier standard local players are in mass production!


    It is as if a batch of products with the same specifications and models are produced in a processing plant.


    They have strength and good, but it is difficult to see their uniqueness. There are no 11 similar or similar roles on the football field. Often, only those individuals with their own characteristics are united together to form complementarities and play their own characteristics. Then it becomes rich and powerful.


    This phenomenon is regrettable, so outside criticism that Millwall is not local enough, Aldridge has always sneered.


    It is not that he despised England, but history has given the answer.


    Even if it is as glorious as Manchester United in history, is Giggs England? Is York English? Schmeichel, Stam, Johansson, Keane...


    Or more convincingly, the decline of the England national team and the level of gathering the strongest players from all of England to go outside also reflects a lot of information from the side.


    For this reason, players like Joe Cole who are regarded as geniuses will be particularly valued by Millwall, but when it comes to the true level of talent, Joe Cole and the foreign star of hope seem to be half a catty, Not to mention how talented, Aldridge put Vicente Joaquin on loan. In fact, he also wants to cultivate Joe Cole in the new season. The most critical factor is Joe Cole''s account book.


    The club has established a lot of football schools in Europe and Africa in the past two years, but this investment will not have an immediate effect. It is impossible to build a school last year. This year it will send one or two talents, so Aldridge Part of the signing work is to replenish the club with fresh, young blood.


    He picked up the phone and wanted to call Andrew, using the other party''s scout intelligence network. Unexpectedly, Andrew personally came to the door at this time.

 Chapter 521： Calculated

    After Andrew walked into Aldridge''s office, the two brothers disappeared for a long time, and they all smiled.


    "You came just right. I was just looking for you."


    "I''m here, of course I have something to do with you."


    Aldrich first suppressed his own affairs and asked, "What is it?"


    After sitting down, Andrew was silent, and Aldridge asked in a puzzled way: "What is it that makes it hard for you to tell?"


    Andrew smiled helplessly and said, "Because strictly speaking, it''s not something I should ask, Henry''s thing."


    The smile on Aldridge''s face disappeared.


    "Are you here as a lobbyist? Persuade me to sell him? Make a fortune? No, no, Andrew, this matter has nothing to do with money. He wants to go, and he has to stand in front of me and look directly into my eyes. , Tell me seriously and firmly that he is leaving, do you know? I never hated anyone in my heart, Stam, Elgra, Shevchenko, Trezeguet, and they left when Millwall became famous , I was in a bad mood for two or three days at most, and then I accepted. Every day in this world, people are scolding the betrayers around me, saying that they can only share sufferings, not being rich and rich, is this not normal? Seeing more, listening more, I have to experience it myself. The resistance is naturally tenacious. I can accept these. But I can¡¯t accept it. Do you know what? When Henry came to Millwall, we were the Champions League and we also have the league championship. Two years later After that, Millwall entered the status of a wealthy man. Here, he has got the best and can no longer be perfect! I trust him, his teammates trust him, fans support him, WTF! What else does he want? Don¡¯t **** say What Millwall can¡¯t get, can¡¯t prove anything, right here, just under Millwall, just under my hands, he can get everything! Even if it¡¯s money, as long as it¡¯s not his own fault, I can guarantee him The day he retired, he spent ten whole lives! And he was going to Turin? He was going to Juventus? What was he going to do there? Decaying? Sinking? Was his story twisting? I couldn¡¯t understand his head What are you thinking about?"


    Aldridge will not let Henry go, nor will he let him go to Juventus if it fails.


    With a sense of responsibility, the players who leave from him will choose a club that meets the player¡¯s development for the players. Now the only thing he regrets for the players is Barak, letting him go to Real Madrid, he failed to break out of Real Madrid. World.


    Henry goes to Juventus?


    Both the original history and the present reality tell Audridge that this is the worst decision for Henry.


    Even if Millwall defeated the Serie A giant in the European War, it does not mean that Henry went to Serie A, and the overall league style is still fundamentally different from the Champions League. The Champions League has to win, Serie A is to some extent too much The team is afraid of losing, driven by profit is utilitarian conservative, facing the chain defense of most teams, under dense circumstances, this is completely incompatible with the technical characteristics of Henry''s moving ball combination.


    I have to admit that the overall technical and tactical content of the Premier League in this era is not high, especially compared with Serie A, that is obviously behind.


    The overall style of the English Premier League is very suitable for players like Henry.


    Andrew sighed in awe when he saw Aldridge''s words wrong.


    He knew clearly that there was a bit of love, but a bit of hatred.


    It would be a bit hypocritical if Aldridge let Fanny, who has followed him for five years, for Henry, but in fact, Henry was the direct reason to force Fanny away, and from Henry came to the club to start healing, Aldridge Teach him at the training ground, train him with games, and step by step shape him into the king of European killers today.


    If Henry was going three years ago or four years ago, Aldridge might not be angry, lost for a few days, and then blessed the other side. Millwall was not worthy of world-class players at that time, and Aldridge had self-knowledge.


    But to this day, Millwall still has players who can leave, definitely, but if it is an honor factor, this cannot be accepted by Audridge.


    Andrew stared calmly at the expressionless Aldridge, and said softly, "I want to ask you something."


    "what?"


    "As Adam said at the press conference, Millwall prepared a new contract for Henry with a salary of 50,000 weeks. Is it true?"


    Andrew came and asked about it first.


    Even if Adam said the words without changing his eyes, Andrew still expressed deep suspicion that as an agent, he had been in this business for so long, he never easily believed the club''s public statements.


    Sometimes it is just a way to shirk responsibility.


    Aldridge shrugged: "Of course it is true, I think Henry can already get the second-grade salary of the club, and above him are the performance and qualifications of the three captains, Nedved and Larsen. He should definitely earn more than Henry. Southgate is already 30. After fulfilling the five-year contract, he will definitely retreat to the second line. Within five years, Henry may be able to go further and become the club¡¯s top salary. Delegates, but his agent is asking for a weekly salary of ¡ê75,000. Do you think Millwall should agree?"


    Andrew fell silent again, and Aldridge was confused by him, but then thought about it, since Andrew came to ask about it, there must be something wrong.


    "Andrew, what do you know?"


    Andrew hesitated and said after a while: "Henry''s things are so big, the city is full of wind and rain, and the entire European football world is paying attention. After today''s press conference, I actually tried to understand the inside story with gossip, but through my information channels, I have a version from Henry, do you want to hear it?"


    Aldrich raised his hand: "First of all, you have to tell me what your information channel is, don''t be a reporter."


    Andrew sneered with a snort and said, "David, David Trezeguet, Henry talked to him about the renewal of the contract. David told me that Henry said he only wanted a ¡ê40,000 weekly salary Contract, however, Henry¡¯s agent told him that Millwall only gave him a weekly salary of 30,000 pounds, and at the same time, told Henry that Pavel they now have a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds a year, actually saying that 100,000 is almost , But it does not arrive, and it is conditional."


    Weekly salary plus loyalty rewards, plus appearance fees, winning prizes and other income, said that Nedved''s weekly salary of 100,000 is in line with reality.


    Aldridge''s eyes narrowed slightly and frowned. "When did this happen? Wouldn''t it just happen today?"


    Andrew shook his head and smiled: "I know what you are wondering, are you guessing, maybe Henry is eager to repair the relationship with the club and sacrificed his agent, so I just retold such a story through David? I It can be guaranteed by personality, David heard Henry say this two weeks ago, when they were both in France, celebrating the European Championship in France, and then there was no contact, although Juventus seniors asked David to persuade Henry Came to join, but David promised on the surface and did not take action."


    Aldridge closed his eyes for a moment, and after opening his eyes again, Yi Xing said, "So, it was the agent who was stubborn, obstructing Henry from renewing the contract with Millwall, and wanted Henry to leave?"


    Andrew laughed at himself: "All evil agents, yes, all wrong, we are vampires."


    Aldrich nodded and turned around behind his desk, as if the topic of discussion was over in an instant.


    "Hey, knowing this, why are you reacting?"


    Andrew was puzzled.


    Aldrich replied: "What should I do? Weep with joy? Cheer on the chest?"


    "Henry..."


    "Wait until he returns to the club."


    "Aren''t you going to contact him now?"


    "Why should I contact him? Then I told him that your agent was bought by someone? From beginning to end, I, Millwall Club, did nothing wrong! The problem was with him, the agent served him! The broker he hired for money! Millwall has no trace of responsibility!"


    The office fell silent, and Andrew stared at Aldridge calmly, and Aldridge took his initiative to look away after more than ten seconds of eye contact.


    After a long while, Andrew said gently, "Audrich, you have changed."


    Aldrich, like a stubborn child, said: "Shouldn''t I change? The majors write out checks, do I send the star of the house? Millwall is changing, and I must change!"


    Andrew smiled: "No, it''s not this. You were right halfway. Yes, it''s Henry''s responsibility. The agent is his. The agent has a problem. Henry has an inescapable responsibility. But what about the club? Isn''t it the club? Should I help the player solve the problem? In this matter, Henry is responsible, but he is also a victim. You can decide his future in the club and affect his career, maybe you only need a word, a smile, once Shaking hands can make a dramatic change to Henry''s career and life. Six years ago, Aldridge rushed back and forth in various European countries, not only with sincerity, but also sincerely imagined for the players, can be generous Let go, you can become a public enemy for the player, what did you get in return? In exchange for the unwavering loyalty of these players Gareth, in exchange for Solskjaer, Vieira and other players came to Millwall at home respectfully See you in the locker room. You need to change. That''s right, but should you be tough with yourself?"


    Aldridge''s expression was complicated and changed several times, and suddenly kicked on the leg of the desk.


    Head coach, sometimes this is the life!


    You can choose not to allow sand in your eyes, or open-mindedness.


    You can choose to turn a blind eye, or you can choose to reach out within your reach.


    Andrew walked over to Aldridge, his hand pressed against his shoulder, and said softly: "You are actually just not able to put it down now, this is not to blame you, you can''t do it if you change me. You leave it to me Let me help you."


    Aldridge nodded with a sigh.


    To be honest, he really couldn''t let go.


    I just spoke harshly to Henry on the phone. Is the attitude changing 180 degrees immediately?


    Sorry, people are all emotional.


    What about Henry being the victim?


    Aldridge also feels that his prestige has been violated. At the same time, this storm is damaging Millwall''s image. Millwall, who has just been promoted to the giants, must not take a step back.


    Andrew said goodbye, and then left the office. After going out, he took out the phone to call Trezeguet and asked Trezeguet to help him meet Henry in London.


    After Andrew walked away for a long time, Aldridge suddenly shouted in the office: "WTF! Andrew, you really grew up! It counts on my head!"

 Chapter 522： The appearance of the giants

    Andrew''s agent company is booming, and its signed players have exceeded 200, and most of the first-line stars are still Millwall stars.


    His company in the industry must be concerned about every day. For their business intelligence, the most important one is the first-line star''s broker contract.


    As it happens, Henry''s agent is about to expire. Since winning the European Youth Championship in 1996, Henry has had a four-year partnership with this agent.


    The broker''s contract is usually only two or three years. Henry''s contract with the broker is signed once every two years. This year, it is just time to renew the contract.


    This time is not just Andrew. Others, regardless of their fame or strength, want to become Henry''s new agents. The name is for Henry''s service. In fact, it is not about making money.


    Henry''s popularity is much faster than he thought, and he may not have adapted to this change.


    After winning the league for two consecutive years, winning the Champions League, and being the best shooter, the national team has continuously won international championships. In the Intercontinental Competition, dreams may not be able to make such a wonderful dream.


    He hasn''t been able to adapt to the changes yet. There is only one thing that the agent needs to do in the summer: renew the contract with Millwall and try to get a good contract.


    He was not greedy, and his weekly salary of 25,000 rose to 40,000, and he was satisfied.


    To his surprise, the agent messed up.


    The renewal was not negotiated, and he would soon become the target of Millwall.


    So he received a phone call from the agent on the way to catch the plane: Don''t call me again.


    This is obviously not to renew the contract with this agent.


    Originally, the role of the 10% of the agent''s Mr. is to give the player peace of mind to play, and other trivial agents to smooth out, as much as possible to increase the player''s income, but mess up the matter, this will not only question the ability to work, of course The laid-off notice was issued by the employer.


    It took less than 3 hours from the time he received a call from Aldridge to the flight he landed in London.


    During these three hours, a lot of things happened, Millwall held a press conference, and Andrew came to interview Aldridge.


    Henry got off the plane and turned on his phone to get on the taxi, and he received a call from Trezeguet.


    Trezeguet told Henry the truth. He was meeting Andrew at a coffee shop in the city for Henry.


    Henry looked at the time. It was less than the usual training time for the team in the afternoon. He planned to go to the appointment. After all, Andrew''s identity meant that the appointment was of great significance.


    Sitting in the taxi, Henry was very worried. Andrew was the agent. He heard about it. Many teammates are Andrew¡¯s employers, but everyone is mainly playing football together and never talked about it.


    But from the occasional chat of teammates, you can vaguely understand that Andrew.


    Work efficiency is the first priority.


    Klose wanted to buy a new house, and he completed all the procedures in less than a week, and was very satisfied with the new house. This must be Klose entrusted to Andrew to be busy.


    Schneider, Nedved, they have a joint venture to invest in a winery, they are completely hand in hand, and Andrew is the one-handed agent from the beginning to the end, which makes them very satisfied. I heard that they are occasionally interested, and they will go to France with their own. Wine tasting in the winery, winery in France, travel to and from England, only three hours by plane.


    The most important thing is that these teammates have a lot of business contracts, but the timing is very reasonable, and they will never be delayed. They often see endorsement ads that they shoot together in groups in fashion magazines. The handsomeness is certain and can not allow commercial activities. It''s the most important thing that affects the work of my job.


    Henry suddenly had a strange idea.


    Why didn''t Andrew come to recommend himself as his agent when I transferred to Millwall?


    In fact, Andrew is also to avoid suspicion.


    He became the agent of Schneider, Klose, Nedved, and so on, when these players had no agent at all.


    When Henry transferred, there were already agents.


    Also because Henry is playing for Millwall, Andrew is not good to come home and recommend himself. It is easy to be misunderstood as the "overlord clause". If the player transfers to Millwall, is it necessary to be signed by the Aldridge brother company? Player?


    Andrew''s choice of meeting place is not a hidden place, but at least it is not the name of the paparazzi who will often squat in and out of the place.


    Henry was recognized by the waiter as soon as he walked into the coffee shop, but in this place in London, celebrities often haunted, and the people were accustomed to it. At most, they looked at it at most, unless they just hit a fan.


    As it happens, this is North London, where Tottenham''s local influence radiates. The waiter is a female, who pays attention to football, but is not fanatical. When he saw Henry, he neither asked for a photo signature nor showed a special enthusiasm.


    Andrew was sitting in the corner of the deck, just at the entrance of the cafe. When Henry walked in, he stood up and waved and smiled.


    Henry randomly asked for a glass of juice and walked towards Andrew.


    Andrew reached out and asked Henry to take a seat. The two sat opposite each other. After the waiter brought the juice, Andrew introduced himself, and it was formally known to Henry.


    Henry was still feeling a bit heavy. He didn''t know what the man with the status of the elder brother would talk to him.


    Perhaps it was the boss who told him something through him.


    If this is the case, Henry feels that everything has made him feel sad. He and the boss have reached a point where they can''t talk directly, which he could not have imagined two months ago.


    "Tieri, I have a question for you. Do you still want to play for Millwall?"


    Henry heard the other party¡¯s question and raised his head to face bitterness. After a long while, he asked: "The boss asked you to ask me, this is it? Why question this?"


    Andrew shook his head and said: "No, you misunderstood, I am not here on behalf of Millwall, nor on behalf of Aldridge. This is a personal conversation with you. I came to try to solve the trouble for you, Let you be free from trouble. So I need to know what you think, what we will talk about next depends on the answer to this question."


    Henry said after a moment of silence: "Of course I want to stay on the team. If you let me go, my brain will be blank. I don''t know where to go. It seems that it will be a bad decision. But..."


    "However, you feel that you want to stay, and the club wants to keep your will. Compared to the two, you are stronger. Millwall, lack of sincerity, makes you feel that you have not been treated fairly and fairly. Right?"


    Andrew''s words made Henry hesitate for a moment, and finally nodded.


    In this era, there are too many things reflected in money.


    If Millwall had a small business and the club''s top salary was 40,000, even if Henry took 30,000, he would immediately sign a contract extension.


    But the club has made a lot of money, and the financial income in the new season must have been greatly improved. The team''s top salary has reached 100,000 pounds, and he is even less than half. Under such a strong contrast, if Henry feels fair, then he will definitely crazy.


    Andrew took a piece of paper from his briefcase and pushed it forward in front of Henry slowly, saying, "Please review this information."


    Henry glanced down at the information on the paper at a glance.


    Name, weekly salary, loyalty reward, season bonus cap.


    Nedved, 7, 100, 50.


    The first Nedved, followed by Larson and Southgate.


    The fourth place is Pirlo, 5, 50, 50.


    Pirlo followed Ronaldinho, but Ronaldinho did not have loyalty rewards, because Ronaldinho played for the first team, the new season is the fourth season, and strictly calculated, the past was two and a half seasons.


    Ronaldinho is followed by Schneider, Materazzi, Zambrotta, their weekly salary is 4, the loyalty reward is 80, and the season bonus is also 50 cap. Their loyalty reward is higher than Pirlo, also because they come from Pirlo One year earlier.


    Later, there will be some substitute players. The highest weekly salary is Glennshire, 20,000, and the lower one is Lampard, 15,000. Gattuso has been promoted in the new season. The weekly salary is only 30,000. .


    The lowest grades are Keller, Villa, Joe Cole, Ferreira and they have a weekly salary of exactly 10,000 pounds.


    At the end of the list, Henry saw his name.


    The weekly salary is 5 and the season bonus is 50. There is no loyalty reward.


    Henry understands that 5, represents a weekly salary of 50,000. Simply calculating, the club may have to spend 3 million pounds in salary and bonuses on him a year.


    Henry shook his head and said, "I don''t understand."


    Yes, he didn''t know the authenticity of the data, or what the number behind his name represented. It was Andrew''s wishful thinking that Henry should earn so much, or something else.


    Andrew said lightly: "You should know that I am the agent for most of the players on this list. Their summer contract with Millwall was contracted by me personally, so this information is true, and you also You can ask your teammates for verification in private. The point is you, Millwall has prepared a contract for you with a weekly salary of 50,000, a season bonus of up to 500,000 pounds, and a period of 5 years, but your agent refused, and Ask for a contract with a weekly salary of 75,000 and a season bonus of more than 1 million pounds..."


    Andrew didn''t finish his words, Henry interrupted him directly and shook his head: "No, this is not the case, no! I just want a contract with a weekly salary of 40,000 pounds, but the club is only willing to give me 30,000 pounds!" This is the truth."


    Andrew listened to Henry''s decisive words and chuckled, saying, "Truth? Thierry, I think you only need to calm down and think about it to understand what is the truth. You need 40,000 weekly salary, Millwall only gives 30,000, a difference of about 500,000 pounds a year, your contract is only two years left, Millwall rejected Juventus¡¯s 40 million pounds offer, the truth?"


    The players themselves rarely think about these things, especially the terms of the contract, etc., are all handled by the agent, and the players just play well.


    So Henry had never thought about this before, and now the whole person is stunned.


    This is the simplest arithmetic problem.


    Is Millwall risking a loss of 40 million pounds in order to save one or two million pounds?


    "And, when you understand the salary system of the Millwall first team, you should understand that my brother, Audridge, has unparalleled ambitions, and he has the courage that ordinary people do not have. Can compete with the giants, they also have to look like the giants, but you have calculated the salary of the first team? Over 60 million pounds a year! This is the limit, once Millwall won one or two valuable trophies in the season The bonus expenditure will increase this part of the expenditure by another 10 million pounds. Four years ago, as the world''s highest operating income club, what was the net income? Less than 60 million pounds. By this time next year, a professional statistical agency for football data A heavy news will be reported that Millwall is the club with the highest operating expenses in the world! Because the club also bought a dedicated airliner for the team''s global battle, at the same time, the Lion''s Cave Stadium was rebuilt, and the entire commercial chain around the new stadium Build costs, etc., Thierry, do you know what the number of Millwall¡¯s fiscal expenditure budget report this season is? 157.3 million pounds! You would also think that the club will have a weekly salary of 10,000 pounds, or rather Have you spent half a million pounds a year on your expenses to this point?"


    Andrew''s words made Henry shocked and speechless!

 Chapter 523： Concentrate on playing

    In the new millennium and new weather, Millwall''s first season in the new era, moving into the new stadium is only an important part of a series of changes.


    The commercial chain around the new stadium is similar to the "Chelsea Village" created by Bates, hotels, restaurants, casinos, entertainment centers, etc. around the stadium. Is the new stadium just for selling tickets? That Abu in the original history has already built a new Stamford Bridge for Chelsea. The Stamford Bridge with a capacity of only 40,000 is worthy of the name of the Blues Premier League giants? Building a new stadium is never just a matter of capacity. Chelsea is just a little smaller, but the surrounding commercial chain has matured. Rebuild one? Ten years later, the price of 1 billion pounds may not be enough.


    The team''s dedicated airliner, the Lion''s Cave Stadium, was converted into a reserve team for the youth team. This is all shaping the Millwall brand.


    Henry was shocked by the club''s big investment.


    At the same time, a passion ignited in my heart.


    Playing football, who doesn¡¯t want to play for the big club?


    This "big" does not describe the club''s record, but the material.


    Top courses, high-end facilities, from training to competitions, even if you are on the way to the game, not only want to be decent, if you can make people feel enjoyable and proud, this is the most wonderful!


    Millwall is now shaping the material image of the giants, and while rich, infrastructure is built as soon as possible. The more expensive the price, the earlier input and output, and when the golden age of football comes, Millwall also Will not be left behind.


    Henry figured out what Andrew said.


    If what the other party said is true, then he was deceived by his agent.


    But he still didn''t understand.


    "Why did he lie to me?"


    Andrew is not surprised by this, and writes lightly: "The contract period between the agent and the player is relatively short, and the agent''s own capabilities and resources are also different. Thierry, maybe you have not realized how much commercial value you have, And your broker, because of the limitations of his own ability, he will definitely feel a sense of crisis, and soon you will realize that the current broker can not bring you the greatest business income, then he will be abandoned by you This is a normal thing in this circle. In layman''s terms, top stars should have a professional team of brokers. It is not a secret. Although I am Henrik and Pavel, their brokers, but their specific business Value development, serving them, is our company''s team. Each star, according to different circumstances, sets up an independent service team, which is the treatment that top stars should have."


    Andrew tells the truth, he is a person without three heads and six arms. Serving a player has never been a practical matter he has done. Initially, he will personally participate in the negotiations. Now he is also handed over to the team dedicated to the star to operate. As long as you maintain a good personal relationship with the company''s big-name stars, you don''t have to worry about other things.


    However, players like Luo Zhihenhen, he still has to go out in person.


    Henry roughly understood that he was not a burly kid who didn''t understand human relations.


    Andrew couldn''t tell the truth, Henry could imagine.


    Considering that his agent has encouraged him to switch to Serie A six months ago, he has recently mentioned Juventus in his ears. At that time, he was still surprised that Real Madrid, Barcelona, ??Juventus and Inter Milan all quoted. Why did the agent never mention it? After passing the other three individual treatment conditions.


    Now, everything is clear.


    The broker must have collected black gold, or waiting to receive it.


    In fact, this agent didn''t expect Millwall''s attitude to change 180 degrees this summer! In the past years, doing business was a slap in the air. I never dragged a soap opera and basically paid a certain price, then I immediately finalized the transfer, especially Henry, who did not have a loyal background with Millwall. Player, Juventus opened a world record transfer value, in the context of contract renewal and collapse, according to the agent''s idea, with Henry still having 2 years of contract, Millwall will definitely sell it for cash! As long as the transfer is completed and Henry breaks up with him again, he doesn''t care anymore. Juventus'' relatively higher compensation is more than 5 times the amount he earned on Henry in the past four years! But the result is that Millwall is now outrageously hard!


    This is commonplace in European football. Players are accompanied by black gold transactions. Agents, head coaches, and senior club officials are often involved in the protagonist.


    Henry immediately pulled out the phone to call the agent, but Andrew asked him: "Do you want to call the police?"


    "No, I have to question him!"


    Henry¡¯s hand was held by Andrew, and he looked up. Andrew shook his head slightly at him and smiled, "Tieri, you are a big star earning millions of pounds every year, there is really no need to worry about him, call , What can I do? Scold him two words?"


    Henry''s complex expression seemed to suppress his anger and nowhere to vent, he cut his teeth and said: "He made me like this! I..."


    "I just said, I''m here to help you solve your troubles. Your situation is a bit bad, because you want to stay in Millwall, I think staying in Millwall is indeed the best for your career. Now Isn¡¯t it time you spend your time dealing with the broker, isn¡¯t it?"


    Henry felt like he was drinking from the head and woke up suddenly.


    The wood has become a boat, and he will question the broker for fart!


    "Sorry, uh, Mr. Hall, I want to go back to the club now. I want to tell the truth to eliminate the misunderstanding between us."


    Henry was about to get up and leave, but Andrew pressed his hand to signal him a little restlessness.


    "Tieri, you don''t need 5 minutes, just listen to what I said. I think you haven''t really realized your situation yet."


    Henry frowned and sat down again, asking rhetorically: "I''ll go back and renew the contract with the club now, and all the problems will be solved."


    "No, only a part of it can be solved. I''ll be happy to analyze it for you. Maybe you don''t know because your agent broke down with Millwall Club. In the morning, Millwall held a press conference to announce that you would stay in the team. Refused all offers, and on the spot, your agent''s words slammed and slandered Aldridge. This news will soon spread throughout England. Can you imagine how Millwall fans will feel about you now? ?"


    Henry was dumbfounded and could not have imagined that things were worse than before he flew back to London!


    His agent is on his behalf, which need not be said.


    Openly slamming and slandering Aldridge?


    Against the King of Millwall?


    Ruined!


    This is simply a self-existence.


    Fans of the crazy lion are estimated to tear his heart at this time!


    Seeing Henry bow his head in frustration, Andrew comforted: "In fact, it is also very simple to solve, the first thing to wait for you to return to the club is to apologize to the whole team, and then tell the truth to Aldridge, I believe he will not Blame you."


    Henry raised his head and wondered: "Explain to the boss, apologize, no problem, but why should I apologize to my teammates?"


    Andrew asked with a smile: "You think, who is more famous with Anelka? Who gets more support in the club?"


    Henry was embarrassed to answer, the answer was obvious, it must be that he was more famous.


    Anelka is now compared with him and can no longer be compared on the same level.


    Andrew continued to ask: "You have the answer, then, can you recall the whole process of Anelka leaving Arsenal? The impact on the Arsenal team?"


    Henry''s expression was not tasteful.


    Yeah, Anelka''s departure from Arsenal last year was a real twist.


    Favored Real Madrid, refused Lazio, Real Madrid withdrew, played fiercely with Lazio, Juventus joined the price increase, rushed to Rome to join Lazio, the press conference was suddenly canceled, Anelka rebuked Arsenal for being too greedy...Arsenal began to threaten players Stop paying salary, Wenger issued an ultimatum, Arsenal and Lazio agreement reached a weekly salary of 56,000, 5 years 14 million pounds! Anelka refused to transfer, because Lazio lowered the salary of the agreement to make up for the transfer fee, Anelka refused to return to the team training, Lazio boss announced to give up, Wenger broke with Anelka when the new season started, Real Madrid re-intervention , Successfully took Anelka.


    The whole process took nearly two months!


    During the "Sun" survey, Anelka was honored as "the least popular foreign player".


    "Tieri, what happened to you is different from Anelka, but on a certain level, your situation is worse, because your agent has been between June and now, in more than a month. You are shaped as a greedy Judas, and even blatantly fell out with the club, the outside world is easily misleading, and this story is logical, the Serie A club is richer, you want to go to Juventus, the salary can definitely exceed 70,000 pounds a week The salary is more than what you earned at Millwall, doubled or even doubled, so not many people would find it strange."


    boom!


    Henry hit the table with a punch, and then hugged his head in his hands.


    Is it rare for a player to be pitted by an agent?


    This is not the case, the famous aliens are still not crying because of the sadness of the pitted hearers?


    Andrew patted the back of his hand and whispered: "How is your relationship with your teammates in the club?"


    "well."


    "So, don''t you need to apologize to your teammates? Take the initiative to apologize, you will regain everyone''s trust, and you need the support of your teammates, and your boss will also hope you do so."


    Henry nodded, and he probably only now clearly understood his situation.


    "Think in the direction of optimism. At least because you are important to the team, what happens to you will affect the team. This proves that you are important to the collective and to this team."


    Andrew didn''t forget to comfort Henry, only to get Henry''s wry smile.


    But it''s really right to think so.


    "Then you have to eliminate the bad influence of the broker. If you don¡¯t mind, I can arrange an interview for you. You only need to tell your real thoughts to the camera. As for your broker¡¯s business, you can It¡¯s okay to talk about it, but I don¡¯t want to talk about it, but I tend to think that it is better not to mention this person, to dilute the problems you encountered when you renewed the contract with Millwall, and avoid becoming the focus. On the other hand, I will let friends on Fleet Street come Disclosure of your agent. In short, try not to become a plaintiff, because the more you blame the agent, the more it is to shirk responsibility and find a scapegoat. You just need to concentrate on training and playing football.¡±


    Andrew''s words just fell, and Henry Horan looked up, staring at him with a complex look.


    Andrew frowned slightly, thinking that he was wrong, but Henry took his hand and said sincerely: "Mr. Hall, please be my agent, please!"


    Andrew looked stunned.


    Nonsense, I am so busy, of course, I want to be your broker.


    The king of the killers who are all hot in Europe, who doesn¡¯t want to be your agent!


    But, he just moved his mouth, and he hadn''t done anything.


    Henry was actually touched by Andrew''s last words.


    It¡¯s enough to concentrate on training and playing football!


    Yes, from beginning to end, he just wanted to concentrate on playing football, because he had to concentrate on playing football, so he asked the agent to deal with trivia, and the result became like this!

 Chapter 524： Gold signboard

    Andrew took the initiative to come home. Aldrich initially felt that he had saved his time on the phone. After Andrew left, he was immersed in thinking about handling Henry''s affairs. When his mentality was stable, he realized that what he wanted to do was not yet done. of!


    Sign up.


    After the noon break, Aldridge called Andrew¡¯s company and asked for a registration list of all U18 players in England.


    Andrew''s network of relationships established in the FA can now easily obtain the list of players registered with the FA.


    As a non-governmental organization, the President of the Football Association is in charge of football affairs in England, even in non-professional leagues, they also have jurisdiction, but they do not need to be so detailed. The specific affairs are handled by the local league committee, but the basic player registration information, of course Will be filed at the headquarters of the FA Football Club.


    This kind of player registration information is not mysterious, but it is very large, which can make Andrew''s work a lot easier. At least the local England database is updated every year, which can do more with less, save time and improve efficiency.


    Adam is a bit worried now. He answered questions from reporters in the morning and mentioned the names of Beckham and Owen. As a result, England are now rumoring that Millwall may introduce these two players!


    Manchester United officials bluntly denied Millwall''s interest in Beckham and also emphasized Beckham''s loyalty to Manchester United.


    Liverpool''s situation is a bit difficult. After all, it''s been many years since they won the championship. Traditional giants can''t even participate in the championship game. It is a bit of a patience to kill the stars.


    Winds were heard from London. In less than an hour, a reporter from Liverpool had jammed outside Anfield at noon and interviewed Irving deliberately. However, Irving avoided reporters'' questions and drove away quickly.


    His remarks were inspiring.


    Say it out loud if you want to stay!


    What does it mean to avoid interviews?


    This summer is really hilarious about what happened to Millwall.


    After Millwall held a press conference, the outside world also understood that Henry''s affairs were nearing the end, unless Henry followed the example of national teammate Anelka and did not return to the team to participate in pre-season preparations.


    Now, Millwall is caught in rumors of digging in the corners of others.


    Millwall is recognized as the strongest team in England.


    Beckham and Irving, one is the most famous star in England now, the other is the most powerful striker in England. The two, transfer to Millwall, is it hard to imagine?


    In the past, if such news came out, most people laughed.


    But now, the public is watching and watching good shows, at least things really happen, and everyone will not be surprised.


    Fleet Street believes that it is too difficult for Millwall to dig Beckham. To **** Ferguson¡¯s ¡°pro-son¡± is like trying to **** Audridge¡¯s ¡°pro-brother¡± Ronaldinho, with little hope.


    It¡¯s Irving, and hope is great!


    Aldridge received one call after another in the afternoon.


    He directly refused to call the acquaintances of Fleet Street.


    However, from the French national team coach, he can not refuse to answer it!


    Roger Lemer has not dealt with Aldridge very often, but the time span is very long.


    It probably started in 1997, and it has been three years now.


    At that time, Lemaire was Yakai''s assistant. Audridge recommended Makelele to France. When Trezeguet, it was inevitable to deal with Yakai and Lemaire.


    After 98 years, Lemaire took over the coach of Yakai. The two did not communicate much, but before the international competition, Lemaire would still ask Audridge about the status of the French international. Sometimes he can also be in Millwall. He was seen in the stands of the game, especially when Millwall played with Arsenal!


    "Aldridge, I will try my best to convince Thierry to stay in Millwall and concentrate on playing. I always think he is the most correct choice in Millwall. As the head coach, we all have to manage the players, sometimes the players make trouble Some annoying disturbances, we will all try our best to help the players, don¡¯t we? I believe Thierry¡¯s professionalism, as long as he stays, will definitely fight for Millwall."


    "Roger, don¡¯t worry. Millwall has no problems with Thierry. When he comes back, he is still my main striker. I agree with you. Staying in Millwall is his most correct choice. ."


    "Really? Very good, thank you. Sometimes young people don''t think about things. He should focus on how to better serve the club. I believe all these troubles will soon pass."


    "See you."


    Lemmel said nothing to the players. Last year, he stood up and took the initiative to mediate the conflict between Anelka and Arsenal. Although he eventually failed, he still criticized Anelka in public and issued some "suggestions" after the warning. As the head coach, of course I hope my players are getting better and better, and I don¡¯t want the players to walk off the right track.


    Just hung up the French national team coach, another French coach called him, Hollier.


    The Liverpool coach asked Aldridge on the phone with a rare tone of voice: Is Millwall really interested in Irving?


    Hearing Hollier''s question, Aldridge suddenly felt that the other party''s tone was a bit "poor".


    If Millwall digs into Irving, Liverpool may not be able to withstand it. The veteran giants will not say no to the high transfer fee, and the players themselves may have difficulty refusing to join Millwall.


    Hollier couldn''t really fight anything. Aldrich said yes, he went to retain Irving, he couldn''t keep it, then talk about the price, Liverpool itself is not rich, and the investment in these years has not been able to fight the Champions League. The financial situation is very optimistic.


    Aldridge was not interested in Irving, and Holier was relieved.


    Millwall could buy Irving, but what about it? Instead, Owen might be abolished.


    Asking the staff for another piece of information in the club, Aldridge took it back to the office and looked slowly.


    The information in his hand is the U15 of the Millwall Charity Cup. There is information on the U15 teams from many cities across the country. All he needs to see is the player registration information.


    Boom!


    "Please come in."


    Aldridge looked up and Najib pushed in.


    Aldridge smiled and asked, "What''s the matter?"


    Najib sat down and nodded: "Well, there is a player, I''m not sure."


    "Oh, who?"


    "Reyes, did you follow him?"


    Aldridge smiles, little motorcycle?


    "He''s fine."


    The talent that Reyes showed here at the age of 16 last year is amazing and gorgeous. If he is an English player, the British media will not be praising Joe Cole as the next generation of supernova.


    Najib looked tangled and said, "He is also a problem child."


    child?


    Er, probably in their eyes, those who didn''t make it to the first team belong to "children".


    Aldridge converged and smiled. When it comes to the specific situation of the players, this is definitely not a joke. It must be serious and rigorous.


    "What''s the specific situation?"


    "He and Ramor are in a similar situation and are afraid of confrontation. But Ramor grew up in this environment. He was afraid because of the psychological shadow, Reyes, himself resisted physical confrontation, he was more willing to use Footwork, technology to show yourself."


    Aldridge was not surprised after listening.


    In the original history, Reyes was utterly scolded by fans in Arsenal: soft egg!


    In England, you can have no skills, no speed, no height, no weight, thin body, this can survive, but if you don¡¯t have the determination and willpower to fight, then you can¡¯t survive here, it¡¯s not important whether the club is tolerant of you Insults and taunts by fans in the stands will force you to leave.


    He brought Reyes, and he didn''t expect to make Reyes a member of Millwall. It can be used as long as it is available. It can''t be used. If you sell it, you can make money. Why not?


    But at the very least, he had such an idea that made Reyes dare to confront and became in line with the style of the Premier League.


    The two do not conflict.


    Players who combine physical confrontation with technical talents can often become dazzling figures in the Premier League.


    "Teach patiently and cultivate slowly, can''t he let him improve his sense of confrontation and ability?"


    Aldridge didn¡¯t want to decide the future of Reyes when he was 17 years old. In case, Reyes would become very bright in the future because of Millwall¡¯s experience. Millwall gave up on him in advance. But it will be beaten. This is not the same as giving up Vieira. After all, Vieira is age and there is no place in the team.


    Najib''s expression is more complicated, and he is also troubled. He does not want to make a conclusion about a player prematurely, but the reality is not optimistic.


    "People are afraid of confrontation are mostly two cases, the first is fear of injury, the second is due to psychological injury caused by confrontation injury. Ramor belongs to the latter, it took more than two years to overcome, the current situation It can¡¯t be said that it is particularly good, but at least the game environment is suitable, and Ramore has no problem. But Reyes itself belongs to the first kind. In the past year, we tried to improve his awareness of confrontation. He did work hard, but at the end of last season Duan was injured once in the youth team, a minor injury, healed in only half a month, but since then, he seems to have returned to the origin all of a sudden, and is far away from the goal."


    Najib discovered that Reyes'' confrontational retrogression during the training of the youth team recently. This is not a decrease in ability, but a decline in confrontational awareness. Confrontational confrontation requires active action to be called confrontation. He has no initiative to fight. Consciousness, this issue has to be taken seriously.


    Aldridge has been silent for a long time, and many players of the youth team have renewed their contracts in the summer. Reyes is one of them, symbolically increasing their salary by 30%. Those teams¡¯ hope stars and contracts are all It is signed once a year, to ensure that it will not be suddenly digging corners and causing heavy losses.


    In the end, he shook his head and said: "No, it is too early to give up now, and just renewed the contract with him in summer. If you give up at this time, the blow to him will be too great. The club cannot be so ruthless, Najib. Be more patient and hard, one year, or two years to see the effect. If it still does not meet expectations, we will let him go again."


    Najib agreed and handed him a piece of information, saying: "This is a player recommended by an outside agent for the team''s trial training. The youth team decided to hire. Please ask the club to prepare a contract for him. "


    Aldridge is not surprised. Millwall now has the golden sign of "Superstar Cradle". Many young players, players without professional contracts will be recommended to the club for trial training, and some are recommended by agents. Perhaps with The young player reached a certain agreement, such as helping him to build a bridge to try out training, if successful, we sign a contract!


    Aldrich wasn''t very worried about these things, but Najib handed him the documents and he picked it up and looked at it, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face.


    16-year-old Robert Huth.


    Schneider, Klose, Bute, Metzelder, and Barack who left before, Millwall already has a good attraction for German players.


    Aldrich immediately picked up the phone with great enthusiasm and asked them to write a contract for Hut.

 Chapter 525： I cant dream

    Millwall''s signing work is now easier than ever.


    As for the giants, as long as it is not to dig the pillars of the same level of giants, and to the main force of the next-line club, it is really not difficult to dig.


    Not only does the job of actively digging people have so much resistance, there are always countless recommendations from the outside.


    The top teams in the second-tier leagues will also recommend their own stars, such as Porto recommended Jader, the price is 25 million pounds, the scorer in the Champions League last season, second only to Henry, is worth the price. The Millwall striker has no place anyway.


    Aldrich likes young players. This is not a secret. It is not just UEFA. There are also recommended players from South America, but the number is not large because of the obstruction of labor certification.


    But today, Aldridge handed him a deleted list in the club''s transfer department.


    The Flamengo Club recommended a player to Millwall for ¡ê8 million.


    The player is 18 years old, Brazilian, and is a striker.


    The coaching staff with relaxed training tasks will also look at the video tapes of players sent by agents or clubs in their spare time.


    Just looking at the player''s video, everyone has an intuitive evaluation: 8 million pounds, maybe a good deal.


    This person''s name is Adriano, the future King Meazza!


    Ade just joined Flamengo this year, and quickly made a name for himself in Flamengo. The Bundesliga started in April, and now it is almost halfway through. There are 7 goals in this kid¡¯s league. For players in the top league, this is enough to be used as a blockbuster capital.


    Physical talents ensure that he has enough capital to fight against, and based on the hard goals of the Premier League, he has reached the standard at the age of 18.


    And watching his videotape, the technical level is also satisfactory.


    Aldridge sighed softly and rejected Flamengo''s recommendation.


    8 million pounds to buy Ad, is it worth it? Great value!


    But he doesn¡¯t want to. He doesn¡¯t want to add more South American players, especially Brazilian players. After all, Ronaldinho is already in the team. He¡¯s really afraid that Ade will come here and join Ronaldinho. Good friends, that is not a good sign.


    Ten years later, Adelaide was depraved and forgotten.


    But six years after the original history, just after the World Cup, Manchester United and Inter Milan had a secret contact. The content of this negotiation was the transfer of players, the buyer was Manchester United, and the goal was Inter Milan¡¯s Adriano. What are the conditions proposed by Manchester United? 60 million cash, plus a team star, Cristiano Ronaldo!


    Moratti refused...


    It can''t be said that Adriano had completely exploded Cristiano Ronaldo and was worth more than 60 million. After all, Cristiano Ronaldo became a British enemy at the time.


    If there is any player in Brazil that he wants most, then there is only one person.


    Son of God! Kaka!


    It is a pity that even though Andrew established a connection with Kaka under the direction of Aldridge, Kaka''s family is not enthusiastic, they are middle class, and their lives are nourishing, so don''t worry about letting Kaka land in Europe, even if it is a South American star. The road that the times must pass, but Millwall can not guarantee the main position, various factors make Aldridge can only sigh in the heart.


    Most of the players recommended by other clubs were directly rejected by Aldridge, but they were also negotiated.


    Groningen also signed a talented young player this summer.


    16-year-old Alger Robben.


    Ronald Roosevelt did not enter the youth training system of the mainstream three giants in the Netherlands. Therefore, he kind of meant playing football. He hone his skills on his own. This is how he came out. After that, he joined the Groningen youth camp because Talent is different, teammates are not at the same rate and level with him, then, naturally, he becomes, more independent!


    Football is a set of player training standards that are not defined as truth.


    The team is the mainstream, but it''s just that someone can compete against a team with one''s own strength. There are countless heroes fighting alone, becoming famous, defeated, forgotten after being laughed at by others.


    Robben played alone in a match of the same age. When he could score 10 or 20 goals a game, how did the outside world react?


    genius!


    It''s that simple, but no one will accuse him of being too independent, lack of tactical discipline, lack of awareness of teamwork, etc.


    Robben entered the club''s first team from the Groningen youth camp. He has not played in an official game. The Groningen club realized that they would certainly not retain this genius.


    In order to avoid things like Millwall taking away van der Med from Ajax for free, the Groningen club was smart enough to directly recommend players to Millwall.


    Robben himself did not resist the transfer, did he stick to Groningen? Don¡¯t be funny, the goal of the Dutch genius is to conquer the whole of Europe instead of calling for storms in the Netherlands. If a Dutch genius can¡¯t leave the Netherlands slowly, it can only explain the fact that this genius has become an ending.


    Groningen made things public. Robben had a contract and was temporarily safe. In this way, if other clubs wanted Robben, they would have to fight for it. If someone touches the player in private, it will inevitably lose face, and Groningen There is also confidence to make things happen to UEFA, even FIFA.


    In the case of Robben not playing in an official game, other clubs are definitely watching.


    Is there less genius in the Netherlands? Quite a lot.


    But is the 16-year-old genius still 10 years later?


    Who knows?


    No club will easily bet on a 16-year-old player, especially without the experience of a top league.


    Millwall dare.


    Groningen''s recommended price was ¡ê10 million.


    Millwall paid 2 million pounds, with the proviso that Robben continued to play for Groningen for two years. Two years later, he moved to Millwall at the age of 18. At that time, Millwall paid another 6 million pounds.


    Groningen and Millwall signed this strange agreement in UEFA.


    Will Millwall pay the deposit before buying the player?


    The most enthusiastic of this deal was not the Groningen club, Robben¡¯s father, Hans, who was Robben¡¯s agent, and came to London specifically.


    At first, Millwall proposed to buy Robben directly, and then lease Robben back to Groningen for two years.


    The direct reason for the collapse was that Hans was dissatisfied with the contract Millwall had awarded Robben.


    Millwall¡¯s first-team salaries have skyrocketed in recent years, but the youth team¡¯s salary has been declining all the way. This is not to say that from the previous player with a weekly salary of 500, the renewal of the second year became 300, but when Aldridge first waved the pound genius, he could at least give 2000-3000 or more weekly salary.


    Now, Millwall Summer Echelon, a 16-year-old player, has a minimum weekly salary of ¡ê50 and the highest, but only ¡ê300.


    Millwall''s weekly salary for Robben is ¡ê600, which is already a high salary compared to the entire 16-year-old echelon.


    It is impossible for a club to pay a player who has not played in a professional league a high salary. It is a professional league, not a top league.


    In the past, there were not many Millwalls. There were just so many people, everyone was treated the same, nothing.


    It''s different now. There are more than 100 youth echelons. This is a matter of a salary system and reflects the status of the team.


    The rule in the football world is to prove yourself first and then get paid in accordance with performance.


    Hans rejected Millwall''s contract, but still hopes Robben will play Millwall in the future. At least in Millwall, he is known to be faster and earn more money. Naturally, there will be more. Who makes Millwall the most eye-catching in Europe. One of the teams.


    As a result, there is a deposit plus buyout agreement.


    Hans¡¯s idea was to have Robben work in Groningen for two years, and had a certain professional league result. When he negotiated with Millwall two years later, he had enough energy. At that time, Millwall was kind enough to give back the ¡ê600 week Salary?


    If Groningen wants to earn the next 6 million pounds and the 2 million pounds that Millwall paid in advance, then their work in the next two years must first ensure Robben¡¯s improvement so that Millwall maintains interest. However, if Millwall voluntarily gives up two years later, a deposit of 2 million pounds will be given to Groningen free of charge. Secondly, while Millwall remains interested, two years later, he guarantees Robben will transfer to Millwall, or there are other clubs willing to bid more than 10 million pounds, so that Groningen can take out 2 million of them to repay To Millwall, the rest can still make 8 million pounds, otherwise they will have an invisible loss in this transaction.


    The night before Millwall was about to set off for Asia, Aldridge had finalized the list of summer signings and handed them to the club transfer department.


    13-year-old Joe Hart, 15-year-old Glen Johnson and Leighton Bynes were discovered in the Millwall Charity Cup.


    In addition, Aldridge let the club focus on digging an Everton youth player who is under 15 years old in Merseyside, a small fat man, his family is poor, the whole family is Everton iron fans, Aldridge In the contract treatment proposed by the club, the weekly salary is filled with 500 pounds, and when he reaches the age of 16, the professional contract can be given 1,000 pounds.


    This money may be dismissed in the eyes of middle-class families.


    But for poor families, the income of tens of thousands of pounds a year is undoubtedly very important and can change a lot, a lot.


    The little fat man''s name is Wayne Rooney.


    At the same time, the club has also quickly finalized the transfer of Pengler with Le Hafer of the French League 2, because Pengler is less than 16 years old, Millwall and Le Hafer¡¯s 2 million pounds buyout fee, Pengler continued to play for Le Havre, and the transfer time was when the first transfer window after adulthood opened.


    It was quiet at night, Aldridge was ready to take a break, and his new home was still being renovated. He still lived in a community apartment, and he could move into his new home by about September.


    Dingdong!


    The doorbell rang.


    He went downstairs to open the door and found that the man standing outside was Henry.


    "Boss, sorry, I''m here to disturb you so late."


    Henry had originally wanted to visit Aldridge two days ago, but Andrew advised him to wait a few days. After all, two days ago, there were too many news around him. .


    Millwall will start his journey to Asia tomorrow, and Henry takes the initiative to come tonight and wants to eliminate the misunderstanding with Aldridge.


    Aldrich invited him into the house and said lightly as he walked to pour out the water: "I have understood the matter, Thierry, you are willing to stay, I am very happy."


    When Aldridge came back with the glass in his hand, Henry said bitterly: "Boss, you are wrong, not that I am willing to stay, but that I never thought of leaving."


    Aldridge placed the drinking glass on the coffee table in front of the other party and nodded heavily after sitting down on the sofa.


    I have to say that Henry''s words made him both relieved and excited.


    "Tieri, do you hate me? When I said that."


    Aldridge wanted to talk about everything, not wanting to leave any trouble.


    Henry picked up the glass and said frankly: "I had a short period of anger and panic, but after calming down and understanding the truth of the matter, I think I can understand the mood of the boss, boss, sorry, my agent brought the club There is a lot of trouble, I have a responsibility, please accept my apology."


    Aldridge raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Do you need me to apologize to you?"


    Henry also smiled when he heard the words and said, "As you like."


    Aldridge straightened up and leaned in front of Henry, smiling: "Tieri, I will not apologize to you, because I am talking about the fact that if you go to Juventus, you will rot in Turin, You are destroying yourself. If you must do this, I would rather I destroy you."


    Aldrich stretched his hand to poke Henry¡¯s chest gently and continued to chuckle with a smile: ¡°You never thought about leaving, this is good, because you are here, it is clear, you, stay in Millwall, with me, we can create What kind of history? You don¡¯t know, I don¡¯t know, because that might be a greatness that you can¡¯t even dream of!¡±


    Henry put one hand on his forehead and couldn''t help but lower his head to laugh, and Aldridge let out a laugh.


    Two men, a pair of mentors and apprentices, released their suspicions.

 Chapter 526： Hall Sanxiong

    The next day, Millwall went to Asia to prepare for the preseason with an uneven lineup.


    Henry returned to London, but he did not travel to Asia with the team.


    Aldrich canceled the previous call that Henry must return to the team, resumed his vacation, and he had 5 days to rest.


    However, under Andrew''s suggestion, Henry came to the Leo training base alone, and under the supervision of the left-behind coach, he conducted restorative training alone on the training ground.


    When the outside world found that Henry had returned to London, and a person appeared on the training ground, it attracted infinite reverie.


    The first reaction on Fleet Street was: Henry was excluded from the preseason preparation list by Millwall, and Henry was about to be sold!


    But Millwall came out and denied that morning. The club spokesperson announced that Henry would return to the team and renew his contract with the club for five years. He will go to Asia to meet with the team after 5 days. Now, he is still on holiday. What the club does will not interfere.


    Once the news of Henry''s completion of the contract was released, at least his transfer doubts were dispelled.


    And some radical fans who came to the training ground that morning also began to be silent.


    For three consecutive days, Henry appeared on the training ground on time in the morning and in the afternoon. Under the supervision and guidance of the two coaches, the training was very serious.


    During these three days, the fans on the sidelines of the training ground had a radical change in Henry''s attitude.


    At the beginning, there was resistance. I felt that this kid was not kind. After two years of coming to the club and getting full of honor, I wanted to part ways with the club. Only money was left in my eyes.


    However, when the team flew to Asia, Henry was alone on the first team training ground. Because of this, he was training hard alone. This fell in the eyes of the fans. The scene touched the fans. Most people lamented: Well, Thierry is still a good boy, come on!


    As for the previous turmoil, Aldridge is no longer concerned. He is now the helm of the giants and does not have so much energy to confront the agent.


    Andrew is not simply helping Aldridge. He is about to sign with Henry, and the company has another world-class star.


    And that Henry''s agent, Andrew, sent the news to Fleet Street the day after Henry returned to training.


    Throughout the summer, Henry was the focus, and until now, he is still.


    But his image changed.


    He became a victim, and the agent, who had been portrayed as a vampire, bitter him!


    Yang Fengyin illegally blocked Henry and Millwall from renewing his contract. He was determined to promote Henry''s transfer to Juventus. Fleet Street reported the news. It was always catching the wind. If you give them a little wind, they dare to poke a big storm.


    This kind of story is very old-fashioned, and it is not uncommon in football.


    The broker must have accepted the black gold!


    How much can you get from Henry''s salary alone?


    In the past year, Henry¡¯s salary was about 1.5 million pounds, tax deducted, and the remaining amount was only 800,000 to 900,000 pounds. The broker calculated at 10%, or a lower 5%, then the broker could only earn less than one year. ¡ê100,000!


    With Henry''s popularity, Henry''s contract with this broker is about to expire. The other party has no confidence that Henry can continue to renew his contract, so he can earn a fortune at this time.


    After all, he failed to sell Henry from Monaco two years ago. It was Millwall''s aggressive offensive against Henry. Regarding the resources of commercial development, he could not be compared with those grouped or background brokers.


    Andrew was damaging, and he squeezed a knife in his back.


    Not only the news was sent to Fleet Street, but also to the Italian media.


    In fact, in the past two years, Andrew has a great contradiction with the Italians, essentially commercial competition.


    In addition to Pirlo and Materazzi, the players who played Millwall, Andrew is struggling in Italy. If it is quantified, that is, after many years of hard work, the result is zero!


    It¡¯s not that he couldn¡¯t sign the Italian player, some players suggested by Aldrich, he also successfully signed in, but often after finishing the first player¡¯s contract with the agent, these Italian players did not choose to continue About, and turned into the Italian broker company under the door.


    One of the biggest obstacles is the GEA brokerage company with a stake in the Mogi family. Football is a very deep field in Italy. This GEA alone has an unimaginably complex background. Among them are the Italian tier one Family, financial emperor, political crocodile, naturally, the mafia can¡¯t do anything. They control players, coaches, influence to cover many clubs in Serie A, and the company¡¯s operation also has a shady place. Money laundering is the most common. Use club transactions to Pretending to be disguised, so many Serie A players traded bizarrely, which made the fans scold the authorities for the trade of pigs and brains. The reason behind it may not be related to competitive football itself.


    Does Juventus have enemies in Italy?


    Of course there are, there are enemies, then the media platform will attack Juventus when it catches the opportunity.


    Andrew sent the story to the Italian media, and there was a natural "war" there.


    Instead, this story seems normal in the Italian media.


    What is strange about Juventus buying Henry''s agent?


    The news exposure was a bit fake, and some media even exaggerated that Juventus promised to pay Henry broker ¡ê10 million.


    This is pure nonsense.


    But those who claim to know the insider revealed that if Henry successfully transferred to Juventus, the broker can get a generous return of 1 million pounds, which is reasonable for the public.


    As the pervasive reporter dug up the truth, Juventus manager Mogi was on the cusp, and the conspirator exploded.


    Henry didn''t sign it, and the result was a mess.


    Public opinion is to spread influence, when most people are talking about a "truth", then this "truth" will be accepted.


    Fans of Millwall learned about Henry''s enthusiasm for the transfer and immediately took action. When Henry appeared on the training ground to train alone on the fourth day, countless fans outside the training base held high signs to support Henry.


    Henry is different from Anelka. At least he has never commented publicly on his transfer. The previous diplomatic rhetoric was basically a sentence: My agent is negotiating the terms of renewal with Millwall, which will be completed soon. .


    On this afternoon, before Henry left the training ground, he spent a long time taking photos with fans outside the training base and signing them.


    The storm that happened to him saw the rain clearing, and everything was back on track.


    After this day of training, Henry drove to a manor in the suburbs, this is Andrew''s mansion purchased in London.


    Dinner was ready, Henry was a little late than expected, and Andrew was very patient.


    The two had dinner together, and Henry told Andrew what he saw in the training ground.


    It didn''t take a few days before he regained the support of his fans, which swept away the haze in his mind.


    "Tomorrow morning you will train normally. In the afternoon, I arranged an interview with the BBC for you. The day after tomorrow you can go to Asia to meet the team."


    Henry heard Andrew¡¯s words and shook his head: ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s necessary to be interviewed anymore. Now all problems are solved.¡±


    His agent no longer knows where to hide, anyway, there are countless people from outside who want to contact the protagonist of this vortex center.


    I have to say that this agent made a very wrong choice.


    That is to escape!


    What does it mean to escape? That is to justify the accusation and not dare to justify it.


    Henry has submitted an application to the court for the early termination of the broker¡¯s contract. The arbitration in France will be finalized within a week. With his reputation and the influence of public opinion, things should be settled soon. When the time comes, He will sign with Andrew.


    Now, he admires Andrew so much that he is back on track.


    "No, Thierry, you just saved the support of local fans, you have to be conscious, you have to realize your status quo! You are not just a Millwall star, you are a Premier League star, you are a French star , You are a European star! Your influence is greater than you think! So, go to the BBC interview tomorrow, let Europe and the world see you closer and listen to you, this is to shape your image , Let the public feel the real you, not just you in the 90 minutes of the game."


    When Andrew''s voice fell, Henry scratched his head, and he suddenly felt that the people in front of him knew "Henry" better than himself!


    Henry actually has not yet fully adapted to his level, but he must be familiar with this situation and enter this rhythm. Without doubt, withdrawing, hesitating, he can show himself with all his heart, showing all aspects of a world-class star.


    Henry accepted Andrew''s suggestion.


    In fact, he was so happy in his heart, he was very young and red, and who would feel burdened?


    Andrew is happier.


    He also won a Millwall superstar, which is conducive to the expansion of his company.


    This situation is not uncommon in the football world. The status quo of monopoly industry in Italy is a special case, and like Arsenal, the son of Vice Chairman Dane, Dane Jr., he is an agent, Adams, Borg Camp and so on, these are synonymous with loyalty in Little Dane''s company. Little Dane used his father as vice chairman to give players a chance. This is blameless. Andrew also feels at ease, as long as Andrew does not go down like Dane in history. In the following years, Dane Jr. rebelled against Arsenal generals and defected to the Emirates Stadium.


    Winning Henry is a crucial move for Andrew. Henry is caught in the water because of his former agent. In the future, he will definitely expose the news that Andrew has become Henry¡¯s new agent, and also expose the cause of Henry¡¯s public relations crisis. Andrew solved it in one hand, then, this is his beautiful victory, which can be used as a case to promote more players.


    Moreover, Andrew has always been taking the international route.


    Big Brother Barnett¡¯s business empire has commercial networking resources. Can Andrew not use them? So he can contact more sponsors and bring more benefits to the players.


    At the same time, because Millwall stars come from different countries, Andrew has collected them and has a huge network.


    Larsen in Northern Europe, Nedved in Eastern Europe, Germany, Italy, Brazil extend to Latin America...


    The sponsor companies in these places interweave in front of Andrew, forming a huge network of resources, forming a situation of mutual benefit and win-win situation. In this way, the business is getting bigger and bigger, which can be compared to ordinary brokers and small brokers. What about it?


    And now, he can expand his territory in France, Henry is a heavyweight who can bring a star effect more than Makelele!


    While Barnett started the Hall family network empire, Aldridge has already opened up the mad lion dynasty, Andrew, and the three brothers in UEFA, and has become a veritable predator in the broker field step by step.

 Chapter 527： Greater than great

    In the morning, Henry went to the training base to train alone. After the morning training, he went to the periphery of the training base and signed a photo with the enthusiastic fans. The fans knew that Henry was going to meet the team tomorrow. Many fans were close. Cheer on Henry when he contacts him.


    The team went to Asia just to prepare for the battle, but not to compete for the championship. Henry heard it and laughed away. There is nothing to fight for the warm-up game. What a good thing to fight for the new season?


    After returning home for lunch at noon, Henry changed into casual clothes, drove out, and headed north to the area on the south side of the Thames on the East Ferry.


    He got off the car in the empty and clean parking lot, and he looked around. There is a new high-end hotel under the parking lot under renovation. It is a hotel with integrated entertainment and the property belongs to the Millwall Club.


    The surrounding environment is pleasant, fresh and modern, and Henry turned to look at the direction of the Thames, and he was amazed.


    Millwall''s new stadium, Lion King Stadium is in sight!


    The brand new stadium looks from the outside macro, like a giant beast, with a strong metal atmosphere.


    The stadium is not open to the outside world, but there are already a large number of tourists and local fans visiting and shopping here.


    Fan souvenir shops are hot. Adults and children come here without empty hands. Some fans wear new jerseys, and some young fans hold blue lion toys that symbolize the image of the club.


    The club history museum is lined up with a long line, and tourists from other places want to visit.


    Only a small part of this club museum mentions Millwall¡¯s history before 94, most of them are only some old photos, the club¡¯s landmark records, such as the club¡¯s history coach, a handful of stars, the game content is almost No, because before 1994, Millwall had no championship.


    The history after 94 years is the selling point of the museum, and it is also the key content that many tourists come here to browse.


    From the photos that Aldridge appeared at the press conference when he was 18 years old, until Millwall''s triumphant king came to Europe in 2000, the glory created during this period has countless stories.


    People can enjoy wonderful on-the-ground photography here, can see Millwall''s lineup information every year, there is also a brief introduction to Millwall''s tactical formation each season, as well as the emergence of new stars or players with exceptional performances during the season .


    Anyone who visits here can watch the replay of the goals they want to watch, such as each goal in the two UEFA Champions League finals, those classic moments during the focus of the war, you can choose the favorite Millwall star here, and You can choose the most ornamental goals, etc. There are not many interactive activities in the museum.


    Incidentally, the museum also sells personal collections of each star, books and pictures, etc., which can satisfy the collection hobby of many fans.


    Henry slowly walked towards the main entrance of the Lion King Stadium, and suddenly he couldn''t relax easily, and he seemed to have to pay high respect to this new stadium.


    Millwall¡¯s bars, restaurants, and shops are all around, surrounding this stadium to form a business circle. All this, no one thought of it six years ago.


    When he saw all this material become a reality, Henry had to be more pleased with his boss, and he had a deeper loyalty to the club he played for.


    The main entrance of the stadium was closed. Henry talked with the security guard and was released. He walked in. There were people on the stadium. Andrew and the BBC program crew were ready on the stadium. In this exclusive interview, the Millwall Club was obtained. Agree, the BBC will interview Henry at the Lion King Stadium.


    Henry walked into the court along the player''s tunnel, he seemed to walk from one world to another.


    In fact, the stadium is a stadium, and the internal structure will not have too many alternative designs. The Lion King Stadium, which can accommodate 60,000 people, has three levels of stands. At this level, Henry should be no stranger, whether he is playing on behalf of Millwall or in France. In the national team, he has become accustomed to a stadium of this size.


    But after stepping into the Lion King Stadium, he was full of seriousness, stepping on the green top grass, step by step, step by step toward the center of the stadium.


    He didn''t greet people, the BBC film crew had already started recording, and filmed exactly how Henry walked into the stadium.


    Henry stood in the middle of the stadium, turned his head and looked to the left. On the empty stand, the seats formed a huge name through paint colors: Millwall FC.


    He turned his head to look at the right side of the stand. On the side of the stand, the color of the seat set off a huge pattern, the lion on the Millwall team emblem!


    Henry withdrew his eyes and closed his eyes, his arms flat and raised his head, where it seemed that even the air was different.


    People can''t help but burst into blood.


    Unable to start fantasizing.


    Here, under the attention of 60,000 people, Millwall and Mad Lion''s roar echoed in their ears. How many challenges would they face? Henry, what kind of legend can he write here?


    When Henry finished feeling the new feeling brought by this top stadium, he turned around and walked to the BBC film crew. Halfway through, Andrew threw a football in front of Henry. He didn¡¯t dare to kick it. His stinky foot Law, in case of a kick, it will be out of the picture.


    Henry naturally picked up the football with his toes, turned the ball up to the front of the BBC film crew, and finally stopped the ball on his shoulder, shrugged with a smile, the ball bounced, and he reached out to catch it.


    The interview was with a female reporter. She interviewed Aldridge five years ago. In the past four years, she only interviewed Aldridge twice, because Aldridge¡¯s frequency of interviews is now only once a year, but she can do it on weekdays. Get many opportunities to face Millwall stars face-to-face.


    After the interview started, the first question Henry faced was: How do you feel now?


    "Unparalleled, if you are a player, standing in such a stadium, you will naturally feel my mood, especially here is your home court."


    "Compared to the previous Lion''s Cave Stadium?"


    "Of course it¡¯s not a level. I won¡¯t lie about how desirable the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium is. We have left good memories there, but the club is going to develop. The Lion King Stadium is what we need and meets our needs. The strength of the team is undoubtedly, here, it can more stimulate our motivation and desire to fight, making us more proud to fight for the team, for the fans, for ourselves."


    ...


    Although the main content of the interview is about Henry, it is also a propaganda for the Lion King Stadium to create momentum here, a bit deliberately creating a mysterious atmosphere.


    Henry tells the story of him and Millwall, including before joining Millwall, Aldridge "starred" at his history a long time ago, from joining to success, all of which are bit by bit, including him Achievements in the French national team.


    In the 1998 World Cup, Henry only rotated players, but scored 3 goals. It can''t be said that he has made a decisive contribution. At least he made a great contribution.


    At the end of the European Cup, he also scored 3 goals, including key goals in the semi-finals, played the top of the entire competition, and was selected as the best team in the European Cup.


    Combined with his performance in the club, it is no surprise that he became the hottest and most sought-after star in the transfer market this summer.


    But on the question of the French national team, the BBC interview is more acute: who do you think is more important than Zidane? Who contributed the most?


    Henry is a bit of a distinguished character, a little silent, he can use the performance to drive the team, but he is difficult to become the locker room leader, or a team of spiritual leaders, in Millwall, he He rarely expresses personal opinions. When discussing the theme of football in the locker room, he basically does not speak, but the locker room must have the ability to speak boldly, in a sense, the leader of the team¡¯s leader. This role is played by Southgate. , And did a very good job. On the court, the leader with the strongest fighting will and spiritual appeal is Nedved, which is called the team soul!


    Henry is not the leader or the soul of the team at Millwall, nor is he naturally the French national team.


    He is a younger generation and, likewise, is not the tactical core of the French national team.


    Whether it is Yakai''s tactical change that leads France to win the World Cup for the first time, or Lemaire continues its glory to win the European Cup, the core of the French national team is Zidane. Formation, tactics, no matter how changed, no matter how flexible, are all around Zidane of.


    Henry is very self-knowledged and confessed to the camera that he cannot match Zidane. The soul of the French team is Zidane.


    Whether you are the first important protagonist can be seen in training, competition, coaching attitude, coaching and tactical settings, etc., and you can feel it.


    To put it another way, this is also the sorrow of the striker in the new era. The striker is the easiest character to become popular. It can produce a cross-generational European football in the midfield. The mature tactical system has gradually made the striker''s importance start to decline. The dominant and inferior characters in the game are the core characters most talked about by people, often not forwards.


    Perhaps only Brazil, which had barely encountered strong enemies in 2002, seemed to have won the world with an invincible trident. Since then, Greece, Italy, Spain, and Germany have either won by defense or simply pass control of the forward. Formation.


    The interview was conducted lightly and pleasantly, but in the end, the interview host still threw out the issues that people were curious about.


    For a month, he encountered the renewal problem with Millwall and the temptation in the transfer market.


    Henry listened to Andrew''s suggestion and didn''t talk about what his agent encouraged him to transfer to Juventus, but just expressed his position.


    "People always say that the best players play for a great team, so that the best can become great. When I come to Millwall, people rarely say that Millwall is great The club¡¯s strength changes every year, because there are many recognized stars who leave in the summer. In the summer of 1998, it was a very large period of star departure, and I came to the club and started to heal. Two years later, people Start talking about where I will go, Madrid, Turin, Milan, just as in the past few years, people have always talked about Henrik going to Manchester in summer, Milan, Barcelona, ??Pavel are always like this, contacting many top clubs Together, it won''t be now, because everyone knows that if you want to own Henrik or Pavel, there is only one possibility, that is to buy this club. Many giants have sent me invitations, which makes me feel honoured because of the proof My strength is recognized, but I don¡¯t want to leave Millwall, not only because I have changed the role of the court position here, but also gained honor. I also want to play for a great team, who doesn¡¯t want to? , I feel that playing a great club does not satisfy my desire. Staying in Millwall, with the boss, with the teammates, with the fans, all of us, work together to make Millwall into a great club I think that such an achievement should be greater than great, and I am sure that we are enjoying this process now."

 Chapter 528： There is a pit in front

    After Henry''s interview was broadcast, he won the hearts of fans.


    This is also crucial to the image of the Millwall Club.


    loyalty?


    It''s really easy to say. Kissing the team logo, saying two words without giving up is never difficult.


    But it is really commendable to choose to persevere when faced with temptation and to demonstrate loyalty with action.


    Millwall has loyal players, but those who have left over the years are always more than those left!


    Aldrich said no, no, no!


    That is his attitude, he has the power to express his position.


    But what about players?


    Whether the player wants to play for this club is the standard for measuring the attractiveness of a club.


    Henry remained openly stated that he firmly wanted to accompany Millwall to become a great club. At his current level, this exclusive interview is a signal to tell the outside world that Millwall is not only a club that will not sell stars. After making money, the top stars themselves are also willing to loyal to this club.


    With the development of the club, Millwall himself has to adjust the team building strategy and thinking.


    In the past, the top stars cultivated by Millwall were always able to retain a few, so Aldridge tended to prepare for the candidate in advance. In the short term, it is necessary to plan ahead. This cycle is very short.


    Now, Millwall has laid the ground, from the entrepreneur to the defender, intact, at least it can maintain the strength of the top two teams for at least 2 years, so Aldridge is extremely resolute in Henry''s attitude to transfer, Some are even stimulating.


    He was tired of the days when he always made wedding dresses for others, why can''t I enjoy it myself?


    Train one, sell one, train one, sell one...


    During this period of hard work and even worry, how much pressure did he put on?


    It was forced by the situation before.


    Millwall had no money, the club was small, he couldn''t keep his mind, and he couldn''t satisfy the players.


    Even if there is still a gap between the salary they can get from the Serie A club, like Anelka, the salary originally agreed with Lazio in 1999 is a weekly salary of more than 60,000 pounds!


    But now, Millwall has some confidence to retain the god.


    Aldridge has a lot of ease, less pressure on his shoulders, no need to rebuild the team''s tactical system, no need to worry too much about the lineup, a group of meritorious veterans to support the team, and promote young players, forming an ideal cycle And development routines.


    He can sit still and enjoy all this.


    The team reduced the pressure to be dug into the pillars, and it was Millwall¡¯s turn to take the initiative. If the players go, they don¡¯t need them. It¡¯s not that the players go to the top and fly away.


    Millwall summer first team did not have an official signing!


    Only a third goalkeeper was promoted from the youth team to the first team: Chris Kirkland.


    But for them, this team''s brilliant lineup is young, the age group is very reasonable, the old is not too old, only Southgate in the starting lineup is a 30-year-old veteran, 29-year-old Larson, a 28-year-old Nedved, has three generations of young, middle-aged and young, with a reasonable mix of experience and young people''s enthusiasm to intensify competition.


    The contract renewal is Millwall''s achievement this summer, leaving a heavyweight star caught in the scandal is equivalent to an important signing.


    At the same time, the transfer of other Premier League players is in full swing.


    Manchester United also left the mainstay of the team. There has not been much change in the lineup. Bosnich has exhausted Ferguson¡¯s patience. The Australian goalkeeper and Manchester United have been in trouble. Ferguson bought the French goalkeeper Bartz. The criticized defender''s line has also been reformed. Elvin retired to the second line. Sylvester took the position. The young Brown was promoted to the top and partnered with Stam to form a central defender.


    Arsenal seemed to have a generous shot, and Luo sent the French striker Vertod, Cameroon full-back Lauren, the two alone, spent more than 20 million pounds, but considering that Petit and Ovimas went away from Camp Nou The gunman''s actual investment is not large.


    Tottenham not only spent ¡ê8 million to buy gold from Millwall, England¡¯s high-defense central defender, but also made a big deal. ¡ê11 million was bought by Rebrov of Dynamo Kiev, plus Mad gang took Thatcher and other transactions for 5 million pounds, and North London was indeed wealthy.


    Chelsea, internally and externally, began to shrink the money, let alone who bought it, they sold a ticket first, Deschamps, who had worked for a short period of one year, ran out of Spain, and Flo was taken by the superman of the Super League Glasgow, more than 10 million pounds. Going away, Brazilian defender Tome transferred ¡ê4.5 million to Sunderland, Petrescu was washed, and ¡ê1 million left Stamford Bridge. A year ago, ten million-level shooter Sutton only scored one for Chelsea all season. The ball, 6 million pounds, was sent to the Celtics at a discount. More than ten years later, the outside world laughed at Torres who played iron. In fact, in 2000, the person who was the infamous Shenfeng incarnation of the Iron Guard was Sutton. Also at Stamford Bridge.


    This series of sellers, Chelsea must have earned it. Flo alone made almost ten million, and Deschamps also recovered the transfer fee income.


    The seller made a little money, and Chelsea bought people again, looking like he was investing heavily.


    Hasselbaink was bought for 15 million pounds, and Stanic and Goodjohnson spent more than 10 million pounds. As for the free transfer from Barcelona to Bogard, it is a joke. Chelsea played a total of 12 times, including 8 substitutes, and received a weekly salary of 40,000 pounds. At Chelsea, he became the public enemy of Stamford Bridge. He simply exhausted the contract period and left...


    Liverpool looks more shabby than other clubs. More than 25 million pounds were invested in the transfer market last year. This year, not even 10 million pounds. Considering Holier promotes Liverpool rookies. This year is the second year of full coaching. It is reasonable without major changes.


    Two flowers bloom on each table.


    Millwall¡¯s trip to Asia did not go alone. Originally, G14 members were invited, but because Millwall had once released a pigeon, there was a lack of mutual trust in cooperation, such as Bayern and Inter Milan. In preparation for the summer, lest they be pitted by Millwall again.


    Fortunately, Millwall has a good gimmick, and the sponsors are very enthusiastic, hoping that they will perform in Asia, in order to increase brand awareness, expand influence, and expand the market.


    For the Asian trip, if the Millwall Club goes alone, Aldridge will refuse, because the game with the Asian team has a very low significance and effect!


    Even if the friendly game is relaxed and happy, but the strength contrast is too strong, it almost becomes a play, so what is the preparation?


    Even though this preseason has turned into a show, Aldridge still hopes that the team can make a show while making money, but also benefit the new season.


    Ajax, Celtics, Monaco.


    With the joint efforts of the sponsors and Millwall, they invited three interested clubs to travel to Asia with Millwall.


    Millwall Asia has three stops. The first stop is Singapore, where they play a friendly match with Ajax, the second stop is Hong Kong, China, the opponent is the Celtics, the last stop is Shanghai, China, the opponent is Last season''s Ligue 1 champion Monaco.


    After the three stops, they will return to London, the penultimate pre-season warm-up match will be the stadium opener at the Lion King Stadium, the opponent invited is AC Milan, the last warm-up match is before the start of the new season Charity shield.


    In this Asian trip, Millwall did not go to Japan or South Korea, because in the second half of the year, they would go to Tokyo again after an interval of two years to participate in the Toyota Cup.


    From the moment Millwall arrived in Singapore, wherever they went became the focus, setting off a football craze.


    On a hot summer day, Aldridge didn¡¯t have a suit or leather suit to find guilt this time. Instead, he wore a casual T-shirt with the club¡¯s logo on it. When he got off the plane, his neck was covered with bright garlands. The players were no exception. The VIP came to the desert of football.


    The players are very relaxed. The most abnormal person is Ronaldinho. He wears sunglasses and smiles sternly. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this kid is cool!


    Three days before the start of the friendly match, Millwall held open training in Singapore. One day, he also participated in commercial activities. The players in the team collectively attended the promotional activities arranged by the sponsor.


    On the day of the friendly match, at the press conference, Aldridge faced the vast majority of Asian faces on the scene, smiling and waiting for questions.


    Originally a routine business, a friendly match, what else can we talk about? But since it''s here for a show, you must increase your exposure.


    As a result, Asian journalists are really **** difficult for Aldridge!


    "FIFA considers the 02 World Cup to be held ahead of schedule in May. Most European coaches and clubs have issued a statement strongly against it. As Europe''s most successful football coach, Mr. Hall, what do you think?"


    The scene was silent.


    Aldridge smiled bitterly in his heart, and I came to make money, but in the end you guys dug a pit and waited for me, not kind!


    Organizations like FIFA and UEFA often make jokes. It''s not surprising. Sometimes, weird proposals that ordinary people find incredible can be brought to the table.


    The FIFA World Cup was held in Asia for the first time. FIFA took into consideration climate factors and put forward the idea to advance the World Cup to May.


    One stone arouses thousands of waves, European clubs, all opposed!


    Aldrich never mixes things like this. He thinks it doesn¡¯t make much sense. Anyway, he is not a decision maker.


    Asian journalists definitely hope that Aldridge will say something nice about the World Cup in Asia.


    After thinking about it for a moment, Aldridge smiled and said: "First of all, correct your mistakes. I am not the most successful coach in Europe. There are many more than my successful coach. Well, my question about the World Cup is important? I don¡¯t think my opinion can affect the FIFA resolution?"


    The crows in the world are generally black, and reporters at the scene are still asking. Anyway, Audridge needs to express his position, support or not!


    Aldridge was depressed and dead.


    Support FIFA and offend Europe? Support Europe? Offended FIFA?


    After thinking about it, anyway, so many coaches and clubs in Europe have publicly stated that they are right with FIFA. It is not bad for him, let''s follow the trend!


    "I think the FIFA proposal is not considered. If the World Cup is held in May, the European mainstream leagues must change their schedules. Otherwise, the European leagues have not ended in mid-May, especially the Champions League and UEFA Cup finals. It concerns more than 50 national team internationals and at least 20 players who will make their debut in the World Cup. If the schedule is not changed, the players will end the European League and immediately go to the World Cup. There is no doubt that the appreciation of the World Cup will plummet. Tired, there is no time to prepare for the national team training. If the schedule is changed, the time is too late, which means that the league will start at least one month ahead of next year, then the summer rest time will suddenly decrease, which is a chain reaction. Therefore, I I feel that the whole world will be carried out ahead of time with the start of the whole body. The lives of countless players, clubs, leagues and fans will be disrupted. It is better to follow the steps."


    Aldrich is young and gentle, the press conference is very harmonious, some sharp questions, such as Henry transfers, agent shady and the like, Aldridge mostly carried a sentence, negative things, there is no need to preach to become focus.

 Chapter 529： Show

    In this warm-up match in Singapore, Millwall''s starting lineup lacked the sincerity to perform.


    Full replacement!


    The goalkeeper is Kirkland.


    Alonso started and Lampard sat on the bench and chatted with Southgate to fart.


    Ajax is very serious on this side, most of the main force is on.


    After all, Ajax came with full training, and the first Dutch giants who failed to reach the sixth place in the league last season wanted to play against the top European teams, even in a friendly match.


    The audience at the scene was originally interested in being discouraged, and the first feeling was that they were cheated!


    The expensive tickets in hand, what Nedved, Ronaldinho, Henry on the poster when the sponsor promoted... Big Fool!


    There are a lot of fanatic fans sitting in the stands behind Aldridge who constantly shouted his name, and wished Aldridge played in person on the field.


    Aldridge was very popular, but he sat on the coach seat today and chatted with Klinsmann.


    Klinsmann took the initiative to chat with Aldridge. The content was to discuss the current situation of German football. The European Cup, not only England, but also the same group, Germany and the group.


    Even if Germany reached the World Cup finals two years later and won a good second place, it is recognized in Europe that the German team in this period is the bottom of the German team. This year¡¯s European Cup defeat was a major defeat in German football. The upsurge of stock reform, two years later, is at best glorious. The most amazing thing is that Brazil and Germany, the two teams that meet the finals, from the group stage to the finals, almost did not encounter the top strong teams! If England is also included in the top team, then Brazil also won very difficult.


    That World Cup, the strong teams that should have the strength to go to the end were all hacked, which created the South Korean team to achieve the highest ranking and record of the Asian team in the World Cup.


    Aldrich is really pleased with the Germans. Failure is not terrible. What is terrible is the determination not to change after the failure. On the contrary, the rigorous Germans can face these things no matter whether they are war or football, failure, mistakes, and then become angry. make changes.


    So he has a relaxed mind, but he thinks seriously when chatting with Klinsmann.


    The friendly match on the field was unexpectedly broken!


    Ajax is very real, and Millwall''s young players don''t play experience for the opponent. On the contrary, they will fight harder than the main players, and use excellent performance in exchange for more playing opportunities.


    Millwall opened the battle, never conservative, Ajax 433 has long been integrated into the team''s DNA, so that the offensive is fierce, the game rhythm is also very fast, the goal is a plum blossom, one after another.


    The audience on the spot gradually discovered that the game that had no big names on the scene was so intense and exciting!


    Millwall 0:1 Ajax.


    1:1!


    2:1!


    3:1!


    3: 2!


    3:3!


    4:3!


    4:4!


    4:5!


    In the last ten minutes of the game, Aldridge made the last substitutions. In the middle, he has changed twice, once for three or four players, and for the last substitution, he replaced Ronaldinho, Nedved, Larson.


    Thousands of calls came out, the scene was already boiling, and watching the goals of this game was very enjoyable.


    Six minutes after the trio played, Ronaldinho assisted Larson and scored the equalizer goal. Nedvide missed the lore at the last moment, and Millwall and Ajax drew 5:5.


    Although the game lacked a bit of star flavor, at least the scene was wonderful, which made the audience linger.


    Millwall immediately set off for Hong Kong after finishing his first friendly match.


    In Hong Kong, when Millwall arrived, the scene was more shocking than in Singapore, it was almost empty!


    The reason is that Hong Kong is regarded as the back garden of Asia promoted by Premier League International.


    Before 1997, Hong Kong was still a jurisdiction of the British Commonwealth. The successive scandals of local football led to the decline of Hong Kong football. The fans here watched European football. The first choice is the Premier League, which is traced back earlier. That is the Premier League, so there are many Liverpool and Manchester United fans. , And now, Millwall has had a large number of Hong Kong fans through five years in the Premier League, the outstanding performance of the European War.


    At the same time, Pirlo, Henry and other players also arrived in Hong Kong to join the team, pushing this unstoppable passion frenzy to the top.


    The crazy enthusiasm of the fans here scared the players.


    On the training ground, a large number of fans gather outside the hotel, and players who want to go shopping have become inaccessible.


    "Hello, did you really come to travel?"


    Seeing Ronaldinho and Henry whispering lazily, Aldridge reminded them to concentrate on training.


    The first thing after Henry returned to the team was to apologize to the team. The negative impact of his transfer will definitely affect the team. He hopes to regain the trust and support of his teammates.


    He has already renewed the contract, the matter is settled, the teammates laughed away, apparently did not mind.


    Ronaldinho turned around and made a grimaces to Henry that only the other party could see, pretending to be afraid of Aldridge, and Henry gave him a blank glance.


    The two continued to train, and Ronaldinho had many ideas. There were reporters around their training ground, and some fans were watching.


    When the players took a short break, Ronaldinho called Henry, Larson, Schneider, and Pirlo together. I didn''t know what they had discussed. Then, I saw these five people playing the pass.


    Uh, pass each other in sequence, but the ball cannot land.


    Not only that, in the process of passing, the farther they are, the more difficult the passing will be.


    At first, everyone was two or three meters apart, using feet, legs, head, shoulders, like Ronaldinho using the back to ensure that the ball will not fall to the ground and can pass the ball to Henry.


    When they are pulled away at an equal distance, they cannot complete the pass with a single touch. They often stop for a while, and then pass the ball after adjusting the unloading force to keep the ball from falling.


    The reporters on the sidelines and the fans in the stands did not feel new at first, but the more they watched, the more excited they were.


    Especially after the distance between the five of them has been more than 10 meters away, watching them skillfully use the chest or thigh to stop the ball and then wait for the ball to land and then kick it to the teammates. The ball is flying in the air as if There is a sense of rhythm that makes people unable to dance.


    Millwall¡¯s teammates were on the sidelines, Klose¡¯s eyes were full of longing: when can I have such a good sense of ball and ball control skills like them?


    "This can be used to shoot advertisements."


    Jenson stood beside Aldridge and laughed.


    I just saw Ronaldinho use the heel to scorpion swing the tail to pass the ball to Henry accurately. Henry then unloaded the ball with his shoulder and turned the ball up to Larsen.


    Aldrich looked at Ronaldinho, and Schneider showed off their skills and chuckled: "It''s nice to be young."


    Ronaldinho usually has a love side in training, but he will not pull other people. There are many fancy movements. There is no use in the game. Practice is useless. Today, it is really dedicated to the audience. Appreciate it.


    It''s time for the rest, but Ronaldinho hasn''t let the ball fall to the ground. The distance between them has been more than 15 meters. The fans in the stands will cheer every time they pass a ball.


    Aldridge picked up the whistle in front of his chest and blew, instructing the team to restart the next training. Ronaldinho stopped the ball in the chest and then shot a goal towards the goal.


    boom!


    The ball hit the beam and bounced back. It bounced back straight, but it did not land. Larson directly volleyed and added a foot. The ball flew to the empty goal again. This time, he entered.


    The fans in the stands were stunned. They probably thought Ronaldinho deliberately hit the beam.


    Especially after Larson volleyed, Ronaldinho walked over and gave a one-handed high-five. It seemed that he had sent an assist.


    Not only did Ronaldinho know, his teammates and coaches also knew that it was just a coincidence.


    The Millwall team conducted open training in Hong Kong neatly, leaving the audience stunned.


    The climax is not over yet.


    When checking the speed of the sprint, Ronaldinho and Glenn Charles were in a group, and Ronaldinho was exploded by Glenn Charles.


    Aldrich looked at Ronaldinho''s results and was a little dissatisfied. He called Ronaldinho to the symbolic "criticism" in front of him. Ronaldinho was determined that he would seriously recover his physical condition. Then he challenged Aldridge.


    "You compare with him, don''t you claim to be an athlete?"


    Klinsmann was also coaxing beside him.


    Aldridge had no choice but to accept a sprint contest with Ronaldinho.


    Although the team will test the player''s ability of 100 meters, but the training is mainly to practice a short distance 30 meters sprint.


    After all, in the game, no matter where the player is, it is impossible to rush to 100 meters, so a player like Klose who does not have any advantage at 100 meters speed, it feels not fast, but in fact, his speed is not ordinary Fast!


    Because of the 30-meter short-distance sprint, Klose started and exploded well, and with the consciousness of timing, he started half a second before the opponent, one second, the distance after the sprint will be opened in the blink of an eye.


    Aldrich knew that his short-distance sprint would definitely be completed by Ronaldinho, so he decided to increase the distance from 30 meters to 50 meters.


    Ronaldinho protested, Aldridge refused!


    When the two stood on the starting line, Klinsmann was the referee, and Aldridge whispered to Ronaldinho: "Let me."


    Ronaldinho asked: "Is it good?"


    "Please eat the most unique Chinese food!"


    "It''s a word!"


    The moment Klinsmann''s arm fell, Ronaldinho sprang out like a cheetah. Although Aldridge also started, he was dumbfounded.


    In a word?


    Is this the "let me let" statement?


    Just now when you and Glen Charby did not have such a terrible outbreak start!


    This is a contest without suspense. Aldrich prides himself on sportsmanship. It is also in terms of ordinary people. Compared with professional football players, especially players with speed advantages, it is not on the same order of magnitude.


    At 30 meters, the victory has been divided, Ronaldinho led by at least 4 meters.


    But Ronaldinho''s heart was too bad. Not only did he turn his eyebrows at Aldridge, but he also deliberately slowed down a bit, leading Aldridge a little, pressing him towards the finish line.


    This made Aldridge angry.


    Just before the finish line, Ronaldinho was ready to cross the line, Aldridge began to shame!


    He stretched out his hand to pull Ronaldinho''s clothes. As a result, he might be anxious and stumbled under his feet. The whole person fell forward. The hand that pulled Ronaldinho''s clothes still caught something.


    Ronaldinho''s smug expression suddenly petrified. The whole person lost his center of gravity. Not only did he fall to the ground, but he also felt a coldness in his lower body. He looked back: I will go!


    His shorts were picked by Aldridge...


    Aldrich let go of his hands and lay on the floor to roll. He put his forehead on his arm and faced him. The whole person could not help but stand up, embarrassed.


    The scene was dead, and then the audience in the stands were mad.


    The reporters hurried to take pictures.


    Millwall players also laughed.


    Only the team doctor ran nervously to see if the two people who fell to the ground were injured.


    Injured, it was a bit hurt.


    But all are bruises and skin trauma.


    Ronaldinho stood up and put on his shorts, pressing his waist with one hand. He seemed afraid that Aldridge would pick up his pants again. He came to the Aldridge sitting on the ground with a smile, and raised his other hand with a straightforward voice and said: "Boss, you too So shameless?"


    "It''s because you don''t have sportsmanship! Win if you win, and deliberately make me ugly!"


    Aldridge defended his forehead with insufficient energy.


    Ronaldinho rolled his eyes and laughed, saying, "You are the ugly, and it makes me a big ugly!"


    Aldrich was too lazy to get tangled with his words, raised his hand and said: "Pull me up, you liar."


    Ronaldinho pulled him from the ground. At this time, he remembered the agreement he said before the start, and he still didn''t change his color: "I let you, really."


    "con man."


    Aldridge scolded, and the two accompanied by the team doctor went to the sidelines to do some simple wound cleaning.


    At the scene, the cheers were louder.

 Chapter 530： Fighting in a foreign country

    The Celtics also have an unspeakable strength in Hong Kong due to the Commonwealth background, but compared to other Asian regions, they obviously have a better fan base. Therefore, the upcoming friendly match at the Hong Kong Stadium, Millwall and the Celtics, There is no lack of attractiveness in commercial selling points.


    But after all, the Celtics couldn''t grab Millwall''s limelight, Millwall''s training can make headlines, and the farce of the race between Aldridge and Ronaldinho even spread in Europe.


    The colored Audridge wrapped a small piece of gauze on his arm and a band-aid on the side of his chin. His image was "impaired" when he attended the press conference.


    If the outside world does not know what happened, then his appearance will definitely attract people''s imagination. If it is not good, there will also be rumors of him fighting with the players, but all the reporters on the scene know where the injury came from. .


    Everyone was in a happy mood and laughed at the bottom of my heart: deserve it!


    Who made him rely on the race!


    Also pulled Ronaldinho''s shorts, but fortunately the underwear did not pull off, otherwise, the fun will be even bigger.


    Today''s press conference is more like a forum-style interview. The first topic the reporters focused on was Ronaldinho Ronaldo''s non-stop pass during their break.


    "If you have tracked and interviewed the Millwall first team training, I don¡¯t think many people are surprised, because in London, there is a training session in our training base to improve the player¡¯s ability to control the ball and there are machines on the training ground. To assist, players have to deal with difficult volley balls, complete technical actions such as stopping, passing and shooting. Over time, they can help them improve their skills. However, for group training like yesterday, we do not specifically list them as training links. That belongs to the player¡¯s own self-entertainment."


    Aldridge''s words surprised the reporters at the scene and deeply felt how terrifying the strength of the top European teams.


    The kind of high-volume volley ball pass, just play!


    In fact, it can only be limited to the "play" category.


    In a real game, it is very difficult for one after another of volley ball pass coordination to happen. Once you can grasp the volley ball processing, it is possible to create an excellent opportunity, which often has an intuitive impact on the game.


    The reporters also asked Aldridge about his sprint race with Ronaldinho.


    Aldridge didn''t feel dull, and he smiled and replied: "If I win him, then he''s finished. Really, the coaching staff will squeeze him every minute to improve his physical condition."


    "Do you often play against him?"


    "He likes to challenge me very much, compared with shooting, turning the ball, dribbling the ball and the like, I won''t be fooled. In the same way, if I can win him, this is not a question of winning or losing. By the way, his problems will be very big, and the consequences of his loss will also be very serious. Well, hell, he will definitely be trained by the coaching staff for **** devil, but some of our coaching staff will be fooled, such as Klinsmann, he has a record of shooting three times with Ronaldinho, defeated in three games, since then, Klinsmann will not accept any challenge from the player, he will use the player wisely We don¡¯t have anything to suppress them, and experience is the same."


    The vast majority of Asian journalists present, especially a large number of Hong Kong sports journalists, prefer to listen to Aldridge talking about these things related to football but not related to the game.


    There is no need to talk about friendly games. Aldrich talks to them about tactics, prepares for battles, talks about the goals of the match, what''s the point?


    "Sounds like, Ronaldinho is a very active player not only on the court at Millwall?"


    Aldridge laughed dumbly and said: "Yes, he has a natural temperament. When he came to the club on the first day, he was probably so tall."


    Aldrich stood up, compared his height with his hands, and then said: "I talked to him, he seemed absent-minded, and his eyes were fixed on the youth team in the training field. The only thing that seemed to attract him was football. I Let him try on the field, ten minutes, maybe fifteen minutes, he conquered everyone on the scene, passed one player, two, three, more, and then put the ball into the gate, on the field His peers saw his eyes as if they saw a monster. The biggest reaction was the youth team coach, Najib. Najib is rarely a little gaffe. He thinks Ronaldinho will become a veritable genius in the future. Become the devil that hinders the development of the team. In the next two years, Najib fully cultivated Ronaldinho, tapped his potential, and taught him how to use his talents reasonably, integrate into the team, and become a team on the court. The catalyst that allowed the team to react chemically. Ronaldinho did it, and did it better than we expected. As seen from the outside, he is like a happy elf, giving Millwall a unique football. The new element of us, we like him, the fans like him, the people who watch him play football, it is hard not to like him."


    Aldrich''s word for Ronaldinho is indeed from the heart, Ronaldinho has a special contribution to Millwall, that is his happy Samba, his attitude towards football, enjoy the attitude of the game, this The internal atmosphere of the Millwall club, the image of the team, and even the concretization of the football philosophy have all contributed to his positive influence.


    When people tirelessly "war" and "hate" football games, Ronaldinho can use his football to dilute these elements, simply let people enjoy, appreciate, get visual, sensory pleasure, realm, is different .


    At the press conference, Aldridge gave the reporters enough news material, and they all ended with joy.


    In the evening, the Hong Kong Stadium was full of people, and there were obviously more fans supporting Mad Lion.


    Aldridge in casual clothes officially went to shake hands with the Celtics coach after entering the field.


    Old acquaintance.


    Martin O''Neill.


    In the original history, the news of Ferguson''s retirement came out this year. O''Neill was one of the popular candidates to take over, but because of Ferguson''s cancellation of this idea, O''Neill was hired by the Scottish giants Celtic and then took office.


    O''Neill''s resume in the Premier League is absolutely brilliant, and has been creating miracles. When he left Leicester City in the summer, he still added a new League Cup championship trophy to the club that season.


    O''Neill met with Audridge again in a foreign country. The mood was very good, but the opening remarks apologized to Audridge.


    "Aldrich, you should be able to understand that I cannot obstruct the resolution of the Leicester City board of directors."


    "Hi, that little thing, don''t worry, it''s nothing."


    Aldrich didn''t care.


    What O''Neill said was that Goodjohnson was sold to Chelsea by Leicester City, turned around, and the players who went out from Millwall wore the shirts of their rivals.


    Aldridge really doesn¡¯t care. Chelsea and Millwall are not in the same level. Good Johnson is also a passer-by who will soon be forgotten by fans. As long as he is not directly transferred from Millwall to Chelsea, next time When I met, I''m afraid the fans would not have any dissatisfaction with GoodJohnson, just like meeting a passerby.


    This emotion is similar to Arsenal''s contempt for Tottenham.


    Martin O''Neill also fell out with the top management because the board directly intervened to sell Goodjohnson, thinking that there is no future in Leicester City, so he accepted the Celtics'' invitation and took Tony by the way. To meet new challenges.


    Fans unfamiliar with the Super League may feel that the Celtics will not face any challenges in the Scottish league, but this is not the case.


    Just last season, the Super League champion was the Glasgow Rangers and the Celtics was the runner-up, but this runner-up has no face.


    The 10 teams played 36 games in four rounds. The Rangers scored 90 points to win the championship. What about the Celtics? Runner-up, 69 points, a difference of 21 points!


    In this context, Martin O''Neill''s arrival in Glasgow must be to make the Celtics raise their heads again in this city. This is his new challenge.


    Aldridge and O''Neill have been chatting on the sidelines for a long time, and there are many jokes. For example, O''Neal is gone, Leicester City''s strength has dropped, and there are fewer league opponents that cause trouble to Millwall in the new season.


    Leicester City is a small team, but the Premier League''s small team may often be the nemesis of a strong team. Even though O''Neill is not a nemesis of Aldridge, in the past few years, Leicester City Hard bones, Millwall''s mad lion struggled to bite, and sometimes his teeth fell apart.


    In the cheers of live fans, the friendly match between Millwall and the Celtics kicked off.


    The Scottish team pays attention to teamwork. They are the originators of short-pass cooperation. This style has continued. Millwall sent most of the bench lineup in the first half and faced the Celtics most of the main lineup. The kick was obviously not the upper hand.


    O''Neill is a coach who emphasizes defense. Because of this, this game did not play like Millwall played Ajax in the first half. Most of the time, the Celtics controlled the rhythm and attacked. The ground is very patient.


    Aldridge''s preparation for the friendly match in Asia was targeted. In this game with the Celtics, he really wanted to use half time to see Alonso, Joe Cole, Villa, Metzel Germany, Ferreira and other players will face their patience and pay attention to an opponent with organized short pass cooperation, their defense, their will, how will their performance.


    Will it be because of the inability to master the game and become uneasy, unbalanced mentality, loss of tactical discipline, and ultimately lead to mistakes affecting the game.


    The score in the first half was 0:0. Millwall did not have an advantage on the field, but he did not lose the goal.


    In the second half, Millwall replaced Ronaldinho, Lampard, Larson, Nedved and other players. Players like Henry and Pirlo who participated in the European Cup and reached the second half still sit today. Watching the game below, waiting for them is the last match of the friendly match, a contest with Monaco.


    After Millwall had some of the main players and standing substitutes, the situation on the court immediately changed, and it was their turn to master the game rhythm and take advantage.


    Because it is a friendly game, the players will not rush too hard, Millwall is also patiently on the court to pass and cut the cooperation, the effect is certainly not as good as in the official game, there are a lot of mistakes, the success rate of passing and receiving has also dropped significantly, but it can still occupy Advantage.


    Ronaldinho''s improvised play with a cross-foot pass assisted Klose''s header and broke the goal, setting off a passionate frenzy in the stands.


    Before the end of the game, Larsson shot was blocked from close range, Nedvide followed the long shot from outside to lock the score at 2:0, Millwall won the warm-up match.


    Aldridge never insisted on the victory or defeat of the friendly game. After the game, he saw O''Neill''s expression a little helpless. He walked over and chatted with him a few times, saying separately: "I hope we will fight again in the Premier League."


    O''Neill pushed his glasses and frowned: "Why can''t we meet in the Champions League?"


    Aldridge smiled dumbly and nodded with a thumbs up.


    The bottom of my heart said: Martin, how many strong teams in Europe do not want to meet Millwall in the Champions League?

 Chapter 531： A wonderful flower that speaks Chinese

    Millwall''s third trip to Asia was in Shanghai. After they came to Shanghai from Hong Kong, Aldridge took a leave for the whole team in the afternoon and evening. Under the arrangement of the club, the players could go outside to visit.


    Aldrich fulfilled his promise, put on casual clothes, led Ronaldinho, and Klose and Schneider also joined them. Under the leadership of Aldridge, wander around the city and taste Chinese food.


    The general Chinese people, most of them don¡¯t know football stars, Aldridge also used a swindle when he traveled, let those team members accompanied by sponsors and club staff leave the hotel first, and will wait for the fans who are outside. All attracted away, and then he took Ronaldinho, Klose, and Schneider out of the hotel.


    However, in the process of leisurely enjoying the game, they were still recognized by people, or were tracked by reporters, so they staged a good cat and mouse show in the city. When they found that the crowd began to gather around them, they immediately Transfer, hit escape.


    This Asian preparation for the battle, with commercial activities interspersed in the middle, the team''s stars are the protagonists, but in Shanghai, before starting the third friendly match, the atmosphere in the Millwall team began to change.


    The two-day training was only open for half a day. The fans and the media who came to the scene all hoped that Millwall players would come to perform the ball skills, but Millwall did not do what they wanted.


    The team''s preparation intensity has improved. In the past period, the lineup is not complete, and the restorative training is indeed easy. But from now on, it is necessary to go all out to actively train, do a good job in physical reserve, and recover from the competitive state.


    Just when the media was disappointed with Millwall''s "no face", at the press conference before the game with Monaco, Audridge gave everyone and all Chinese fans a big surprise.


    "any questions?"


    After sitting down, Aldridge stunned all the Chinese reporters at the scene.


    "what?"


    Many people exclaimed in doubt.


    "Did I not make it clear? Are you okay?"


    Aldridge said with a smile on his face.


    The Chinese reporter on the spot lit up, and someone hurriedly asked, "Mr. Hall, do you speak Chinese?!"


    That''s right, Aldridge speaks Chinese after sitting down.


    Putonghua with perfect words!


    Maybe he thinks so, but in fact many people hear clearly what he said, but the tone is a little weird.


    After all, language skills also need to be honed. Aldridge can¡¯t speak a few Chinese words throughout the year, but it¡¯s not without opportunities. There are many Chinese in Europe.


    "Well, I can speak Chinese, is there anything surprising?"


    Aldrich said of course, a little suspicious of scumbag.


    The reporter at the scene was excited. He thought that Aldridge could speak many languages, Portuguese, Spanish, French, German, etc. This is the basis for his communication with the players. This is actually not a language genius. Many coaches are proficient in multiple languages, part of which is job requirements.


    He can speak Chinese, and it sounds like nothing to fuss about. It can be associated with the difficulty of learning Chinese. It is impossible for foreigners to do something without effort. In particular, it is impossible to meet the communication requirements smoothly.


    A press conference for a football game evolved into a discussion and exchange meeting between Aldridge and Chinese culture.


    When did you start learning Chinese?


    How much do you know about Chinese culture?


    Why are you interested in China?


    ...


    Anyway, Aldridge couldn''t tell the truth to the reporter. Lao Tzu only approved a layer of foreign skin and declared it to the mouth. It wasn''t that the world was crazy, that is, Aldridge was crazy. Obviously, the ending must be the latter.


    Instead, a reporter asked why Aldridge did not use Chinese in an interview in Hong Kong. Aldrich said frankly: because I don¡¯t understand Cantonese, I can¡¯t speak Cantonese.


    Today''s reporters are very excited and more interested than asking questions about the game.


    Aldrich not only speaks Chinese, but also has a deeper understanding of Chinese culture than many foreigners. Although it is impossible to think of the relationship between this Englishman and China because of the preconceived impression, at least the headlines are no problem.


    Um, what''s the name?


    Yes, the Chinese love of the mad lion!


    After the press conference was over, Aldridge saw the evening news of the day, and he was on CCTV news...


    But the reaction around him made him a little depressed.


    He speaks Chinese, and makes a sensation. How does it feel like a monkey suddenly speaks human language?


    The representatives of the Chinese sponsors around him seemed to want Aldridge to "speak a few words". He really finished speaking in Mandarin. The other person''s expression was like looking at a wonderful flower. After being surprised, he praised his Chinese. Start flattering.


    Probably there is no communication problem, much more work than expected, there are countless invitation functions for interviewing Aldridge, there are already many, but the situation is indeed different now.


    Interviews in English are interviews with foreigners.


    However, if foreigners are interviewed in Chinese without any obstacles, this will not only make the show more attractive, but also make Aldridge more intimate with China in the image, and the audience will certainly feel fresh.


    I would like to ask: Which foreign coach in the field of competitive sports in China can conduct question-based interviews in Chinese fluently and smoothly?


    Considering to do commercial development for Millwall, Aldrich Stone spoke Chinese in shock, which will undoubtedly bring more positive results, he decided to accept an interview, but only in Shanghai, as for CCTV CCTV5 to do a special program , He pushed it to Klinsmann, which was well thought out.


    For Chinese fans, Klinsmann is not only Millwall¡¯s assistant coach, but also a brilliant member of Millwall. His career is also very glorious. He has many fans in China. Although it is impossible for Millwall to have more effects than Aldridge, but Aldridge is pressed for time, and his work is still the most important.


    The schedule was tight, Klinsmann went directly to Beijing, and he was happy to do so. After all, aside from Millwall, he still had a star effect, and he could not continue to work in Millwall, It¡¯s just that he thinks that his work at Millwall is not over yet. In terms of progress, he has reached half of it. He has learned a lot from this team. At the same time, he would like to see more. Faced with the new pattern and new situation, how did Audridge hold this piece of land.


    Aldridge''s interview preparations are not finished yet, he will lead the team to play the third friendly match.


    The show is often the finale.


    The last stop of Millwall¡¯s Asian tour, the opponent is the Ligue 1 champion Monaco, regardless of the reputation and strength of the opponent, they are better than the failed Ajax and the Celtics who failed to dominate the Soviet Super League. .


    At the same time, with the previous two warm-ups, the team''s competitive state has also begun to recover, and the attitude towards the game has become more and more important.


    Millwall''s starting lineup today is the main force!


    Opponent Monaco is not the leader of Tigana. Tigana left Monaco a year and a half ago. He became a neighbor with Aldridge this summer. He entered the first division of the London team Fulham. Qi saw soldiers meet in the Premier League.


    It was their club loyalist Puel who led the Monaco Hao to win the Ligue 1 last season. His career only played in Monaco. After retiring, he worked as a coach in Monaco and climbed step by step. After Tigana left, he was promoted to the first team from the reserve team. After taking over the coach, he won the top league championship in the first full coaching season. It seems that Monaco also has this tradition, with Wenger in the front, Tigana in the back, and now Puel.


    Aldridge and Puel did not meet in the past. Today was the first time they met on the field. The two said a few words on the sidelines, both of which met formally and met as coaches.


    Now Aldridge has become the most talked about football topic for Chinese fans, just because his Chinese language is slippery and incidentally allows fans to extend this concern to the Millwall club.


    Millwall has many stars and is famous, and the coach will also speak Chinese!


    90% of the stadium supports Millwall, and today, the crazy lion is very face-saving.


    Ronaldinho, Henry, Pirlo, Nedved, Larson, etc. all started. After Makelele left, Gattuso took his place. This is the main lineup of Millwall in the new season.


    In the past three years, Millwall, who has swept the European football, has shown a strong dominance on the field even though the competitive state has not been restored to the best.


    Monaco, what about the Ligue 1 champion?


    The league already has a gap, and Millwall is the leader in the Premier League. The difference between the two is obvious.


    Puel opened his eyes today and realized that the gap between Monaco and Millwall, in disguise, is also the distance that Monaco has been pulled away from the top European teams.


    Even if there is Lisse in the Monaco formation, Julie, a well-known European football player in the future, can clearly see the team¡¯s disadvantage.


    In the first 60 minutes of the game, Monaco was suppressed without a fight back. Millwall firmly controlled the rhythm of the field and methodically attacked the mercury.


    60 minutes, 3:0.


    Henry alone took three goals, Pirlo''s two scalpel-like straight plugs made the audience look fascinated, and a team that passed 15 feet passed the goal and broke the door. All the audience stood up and cheered.


    Watching Millwall''s game on the spot is a visual feast.


    However, Ronaldinho had occasionally messed up with several personal performances, attracting Aldridge''s slightly dissatisfied limb movements, and Ronaldinho immediately converged.


    The warriors can not be humiliated, and it is still a friendly game, there is no need to really raise the opponent''s fire, win and win, and then play unscrupulously, it is too much.


    After 60 minutes, Aldridge withdrew a few main players to give substitutes playing time.


    Due to the gap in personal abilities, under the same tactical system, Millwall''s suppression in the frontcourt completely failed to achieve the same effect.


    This is inevitable, but Aldridge did not change his tactics, just wanted to check the play of players such as Joe Cole, Villa, Pedretti under this tactical system.


    Monaco was infused three, saw Millwall replaced multiple substitutes, so began to rebound, scoring two goals in 10 minutes.


    High-pressure tactics are very dangerous. They can''t be suppressed in the front, so it is very easy to be penetrated through the back line.


    Just like last season''s Champions League semi-finals, Millwall''s main lineup couldn''t hold back Real Madrid, and Aldridge had to change tactics immediately.


    Looking at the results now, the young players may be the last one mixed with the main force. There is a big **** to suppress the battle, and there is no big difference. But if many young players play together, the gap is very obvious.


    After 20 minutes, he changed his tactics, playing counterbalance tactics that were in line with their balance of power.


    After this adjustment, Monaco did not easily push the offense to a dangerous zone, and Millwall''s offense also improved.


    In the 88th minute, Klose broke the opponent''s defender with a ball and scored. This ball made Aldridge very excited and got up to applaud him.


    The skill of the carpenter has improved significantly over the past two years, and the technical guidance of the coaching staff has not been in vain.


    4:2!


    Millwall ended the last warm-up match of the Asian tour. In the applause and cheers of the fans, Millwall''s team ended with a curtain call.

 Chapter 532： Continuation

    After Millwall¡¯s Asian tour warm-up match was over, the team left Shanghai that night and returned directly to London. Only Aldridge stayed in preparation for an interview the next morning. In fact, he just canceled his one-day vacation. The players returned to London for a day''s rest.


    Early the next morning, he got up early in the morning, dressed up, put on his suit, and asked the hotel attendant to prepare coffee. On time at 8:30, someone knocked on the door of his hotel suite.


    The interview will be conducted in the living room of the suite.


    This time, Huang Jianxiang was the host of the interview.


    Aldridge is not surprised. These few years are the stage of Huang Jianxiang¡¯s forging ahead. He can¡¯t be said to be very popular, but he is in the limelight. He just went to the scene to explain the European Cup, and he will soon explain the Olympics. The best sports host selected by many Chinese media.


    "Hello Mr. Hall, let me introduce myself for the first time, I..."


    Aldrich has soared in value and his reputation has soared over the years. The host of the BBC''s biggest brand can all refuse to accept an interview. He has long been calm and accustomed to the respect shown by others in front of him.


    The film crew built the equipment well, and Huang Jianxiang took the initiative to chat with Aldridge about the main content of the interview, so that Aldridge had a heart.


    At first, the other party was also worried about whether Aldridge¡¯s Chinese dialect was as well-known as the outside world.


    He was most afraid of media hype. Aldrich would say one, two, three, and the media boasted that the smallpox was arrogant, saying that Aldridge could turn back the ancient Chinese incomprehension.


    After a brief contact, he suppressed his doubts, and at least the communication was fine, which allowed him to ask some in-depth questions.


    After the opening speech, Huang Jianxiang''s interview officially began.


    The content of this interview is divided into topics. The first topic, the focus of discussion is naturally Millwall.


    Questions that Aldridge has been asked countless times have been asked again.


    What is the secret of Millwall''s success? Was it the success of youth training?


    "I have answered such questions many times, and my answer will not change: there is no fixed way of success. As others have evaluated the changes in Millwall¡¯s tactics, I have used 442, 433, 4231, 4321 and other tactics. People will Say Millwall''s 433 is the strongest, then, the question is coming, since 433 is the strongest, why does Millwall still play 442? Will it play 4231? The club''s success is the same as the game, there is no static tactics to ensure you Win all the time, gain success steadily, recognize yourself, observe the situation, and flexibly adapt to the situation to ensure that you have an advantage. To return to the truth, if the success of Millwall is attributed to the success of youth training, I think it is unfair , Especially for Henry, Larson, Nedved, Southgate and other players, they are not strictly included in Millwall youth players, then, according to the outside world, they are not Millwall The important part of success is actually the opposite."


    Aldrich¡¯s words are realistic. Basically, players who came to Millwall before the age of 18 can be included in the team¡¯s youth training team for three years. The Millwall first team, like Pirlo, Gattuso, Grenchar, Ronaldinho, Zambrotta, Materazzi and other players can already be classified as Millwall youth players.


    But if Millwall''s success is simply attributed to the definition of youth training, Nedved will instead become a secondary role.


    Huang Jianxiang was surprised by Aldridge''s explanation, and his eyes rolled. It seemed that he hadn''t delved into this issue.


    Probably the outside world thinks that Nedved followed Aldridge when he didn''t know what to do. Of course, he was a part of Millwall. He directly erased his past history of playing in the Czech league. As if he were born Millwall.


    "So what do you think of youth training?"


    "I think youth training is an important part of the success of a club. For example, Barcelona has a period of time when the team was built to buy stars. Real Madrid emerged five eagles in the same period. During that period, Real Madrid suppressed Barcelona. You can say Real Madrid defeated Barcelona''s gold dollar with youth training, but Real Madrid did not achieve glory in the Champions League at that time, and the Milan dynasty, with Baresi, Costa Kuta, Maldini and other youth players as the basis, At that time they were very strong and very strong, but could they start the Milan dynasty with youth training alone? I don¡¯t think so, because at that time, it was the Dutch three Musketeers who shined in Europe. Initiating the capital of the dynasty. The pinnacle of the success of youth training, Ajax created by Van Gaal, but in the post-Bosman rule era, I think this successful model has been unable to replicate, the players transfer frequently, and are famous The financially capable team will become stronger and stronger, the big-named team will be more and more, and the competitiveness will also rise linearly. Under such a background of the era, only youth training can maintain the survival of a club, but I want to It''s not enough to create great things."


    Aldrich''s words confused Huang Jianxiang.


    Aldridge is happy to talk about this with people in the Chinese football circle. It is better than nothing. The voice that can be spread through the media parties is definitely stronger than the ordinary people.


    His attitude towards youth training is not particularly dependent, but youth training is very important. Now he is working **** youth training. In fact, he is playing the signboard, so that Millwall cannot find the Star of Hope in Audridge in ten years later. After the emergence, star seedlings from all over the world took the initiative to be willing to be put into the arms of Millwall.


    But when youth players cannot be the ideal candidates for the club, it is the best choice to decisively find a more suitable replacement.


    For example, the arrival of Henry and the departure of Fanny, who is absolutely a Millwall youth player for five years, is an example, and this example is numerous in Real Madrid and now in the future, and all major giants also have it.


    Cultivating youth players, in addition to delivering blood to the first team, reducing team building costs, and player loyalty, there is also an important point, that is, their own youth players can bring long-term stability to the team and changing rooms Stability, no matter the success or failure, the cycle of rebuilding the team, etc., AC Milan is the best example. Several generations of veteran Maldini in Milan are not just pure sports arena contributions.


    At the end of this topic, Aldridge expressed that Billia, Ronaldinho, Joe Cole, Pedretti, Barzagli, etc. came to the team at a young age, they are already the team''s youth players. The expectation that I have received training from Millwall since childhood and cultivated their sense of belonging, responsibility, honor, etc. is very important for the long-term stability of the team, but there is a big premise that their personal strength must be It can be maintained at a level that matches the status of Millwall football. Excellent youth training results often benefit the club for more than ten years!


    After the topic about Millwall ended, Huang Jianxiang asked Aldridge to discuss his life.


    To outsiders, Aldridge¡¯s life seems to be the prologue of his journey to study as a coach since he was 10 years old. It¡¯s unbelievable that others want to come here, but perhaps because ordinary people don¡¯t, Aldridge did , And finally succeeded, but it felt like a matter of course.


    Coming to this part, apart from the fact that the lace of love life has nothing to do with football, Aldridge speaks freely, including some of his embarrassing experiences in Europe.


    Foreign footballers do interviews in China. Eventually, they cannot get around a topic.


    Huang Jianxiang was silent for a moment before the third major theme was unveiled, and then asked softly, "Mr. Hall, do you know Chinese football?"


    Aldridge smiled and shook his head, saying: "Please do not understand my disrespect for Chinese football, so to speak, the Chinese badminton team and table tennis team will go to understand the level of competition in South Africa, Norway, Iceland, etc. ?"


    Huang Jianxiang laughed dumbly, and was slapped by Aldridge, but you have to admire him and make you angry.


    Yes, Europe is the center of world football. At best, they will care about the former competitor of South American football. In the past, they still have to fight for who is the boss. But who cares about football in other regions?


    Just like table tennis, badminton, etc. China''s unique global competition, China is the center, not only is it rich in excellent players, but also can export players and coaches overseas to perform in other countries.


    Huang Jianxiang smiled bitterly: "In recent years, we have several players in China who have played in Europe. Have you heard of it?"


    Aldridge smiled: "Yang Chen, Xie Hui playing for the German League, and two neighbors in Crystal Palace, Fan Zhiyi and Sun Jihai, who are also neighbors in Millwall and our club''s enemies."


    Huang Jianxiang heard that this foreigner knows a lot!


    "Have you watched their game?"


    "No, I just heard that if I tell the truth, Chinese fans may not be happy."


    "The things that make us unhappy can''t be counted, just a few words that are not bad for you."


    "Oh, I am the head coach of the Premier League champions and Champions League champions. I will not care about the game of the Crystal Palace of the Premier League, nor the relegation team of the Bundesliga, the Bundesliga, so I certainly have not watched it. Their game is of no value from the perspective of work. Even if we want to study Bayern Munich, but when we study Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, we often choose video games that have not much difference in strength for research. Scouts go to the scene to observe and many more."


    "Your truth is really hurtful, but this is the reality. The current status of Chinese players'' survival in Europe is still far away from the sight of top clubs. What about the future? You said in an interview a few days before the game. The future of Chinese football thinks that there is a huge population base, and the probability of nurturing football talents will be very high. Millwall has opened a football school in Japan this year. I heard that the football school project in mainland China is also in progress. Will there be Chinese players playing for Millwall in the future?"


    Aldridge smiled with his head closed.


    The football school is part of the club¡¯s brand promotion, regardless of whether it has a competitive effect, the club will do so, because the accompanying commercial value itself is very rich, and the football school also makes money, just like they opened a club souvenir shop in Hong Kong.


    "I think it is difficult to achieve in the short term. First, due to the labor certification system, it will be very difficult for non-European players to join the Premier League. Second, if Millwall invests in a player, or cultivates, then the upper age limit will be 20-21 Years old, because the player is basically 23 years old, the technical ability is completely stereotyped, we need to shape the player before that, give him time to integrate into the club, but also instill tactical philosophy, football philosophy, etc., and the older the player, this The lower the effect of work, Millwall is at this level. If we introduce players over 20 years old, we will be very cautious. Once an agreement is reached, it may be an important transaction, such as Henry, Klose, etc., although it is not that The players must come to the team to make an immediate contribution like Henry, but at least have the huge potential that we firmly recognize as Klose."


    Huang Jianxiang asked curiously: "Are no Chinese players recommended to Millwall?"


    "Hahaha, there are clubs around the world recommending players to come to our club, China, of course, but, I am very sorry, maybe the players who perform very well in the Chinese league are still far from our recruitment standards."


    Huang Jianxiang said helplessly: "This is a very sad state of affairs. Chinese football is not paid attention to by Europe, and the excellent players trained by our locals are famous. With the fame to attract the outside world, the age has reached what you say. The technical ability is shaped, there is no stage to cultivate space, then, even if he is a good seedling, he may not have been maximizing the potential and getting the best training at the most critical growth stage. How to describe it, just like a primary school is The top student failed to go to a prestigious school and was opened up at the middle school level. Although he showed a certain ability when he graduated from university, the gap was quite large compared to the height he could have achieved."


    Aldridge thought for a while and thought that the other person''s metaphor made sense, and nodded with a smile.

 Chapter 533： Lu Xiaofan

    At the end of the interview, it is probably the norm. Huang Jianxiang hopes that Aldridge will provide suggestions for the development of Chinese football and express his views.


    Aldrich bluntly said: "I will not say that the most important thing in the development of football in a country or region is the style of football. Each style of football has its own uniqueness, advantages and disadvantages. When you can interpret this style to At the extreme, the strength will also be very strong, so there is no genre and style of football that can be successful without following the example. The law of football development is the same as that of the entire human society, the competition mechanism."


    Huang Jianxiang felt that interviewing this European coach today has gained a lot. In fact, what is the most controversial issue in the development of Chinese football? What kind of master are you looking for!


    Learn Brazil? Learn French? Learn Italian?


    Who is the key to learning from?


    "Mr. Hall, can you talk about it in detail?"


    Aldridge nodded: "For example, Millwall was in London last summer, and 158 young players came to take the initiative to try out. I hope to join our club. Last year, there were 223. There are 379 people this summer. We are only the fourth level in England. One of the nearly one hundred clubs in the league, it is not only that we have a complete youth training system. Manchester United¡¯s 95 golden generation is no stranger to the entire world football. They also have huge influence and attraction in the area radiated by Manchester. Each summer, more than 5,000 young players in the professional clubs conduct trial training for survival of the fittest in the professional club. Year after year, this is the result of a layer of elections after the elimination of competition. Although the younger generation in England lacks genius, the FA Very worried, but this is also relative to the competition of the world''s top national team. At this point, the Premier League has an unshirkable responsibility. More and more high-level foreign aid comes to the Premier League to let those local English players stand on top. The league is more difficult."


    The England national team is going downhill, and it will even be dubbed as the European China team by Chinese fans in the future, but in fact, no matter how the world ranking of England falls, it will not fall outside the group of the general strong team, and the international competition cannot achieve good results. The reason is very complicated. Apart from the technical and tactical level, it is related to England¡¯s own league. As Platini said, even if Bailey plays for England, he cannot be expected to perform well in the competition, and his energy is consumed in the dense schedule. Clean.


    "Do you mean that China should pay attention to juvenile football? This idea was proposed by the leaders of our country a long time ago. Football should start from the baby."


    "I don¡¯t know. I only know that talking and doing are two different things. How many children of all ages are playing? How to play? Are there professional coaches? Are there courses to train them? Number of matches per week Of course, you can refute me that many countries in Africa with poor football standards do not have these, but Africa and China are different. Their football development strategy is to send talented children to the European Professional League at a very young age. Work out in China, wait for the top position, and then return to the motherland to play for the country, so the professional league level of African countries is very low, but some national teams are very strong. I noticed that China is also actively operating players to play overseas, I hope they To further improve and then contribute to the national team, I don¡¯t want to splash cold water, but as I said before, when you send a player over 25 to Europe, there is only one thing he can do in Europe to prove himself That¡¯s all. It¡¯s hard to think of a substantial improvement. Experience is only a part. Without good technical ability as a guarantee, experience cannot be turned into a very intuitive strength.¡±


    ...


    After the interview was broadcast in mainland China, it attracted wide attention from fans. The popularity of Aldridge and Millwall Club in China has risen sharply. His views during the interview were also commented by the Chinese national team coach Milo.


    Aldridge took a plane back to London the afternoon after the interview.


    This trip to Asia can be described as a great success. The club made a large amount of income in addition to commercial activities such as the appearance fee of friendly matches, and the club also took away 23 commercial contracts.


    The earlier this kind of work in market development, the greater the return in the future, especially in this era of media explosion.


    Aldridge recalled the interview on the plane. One topic that lingered in his mind for a long time was the introduction of Chinese players.


    He had no such idea before, because there was a labor certification system, and the age of China¡¯s dysfunctional figures did not meet Millwall¡¯s standards for recruitment.


    It¡¯s not that they are too old, but that their age is the type of technical ability. No matter how hard they try to improve their strength, that¡¯s it. If you want to take a chance at Millwall, it¡¯s harder to climb the sky. Maybe there are still some points in the Premier League downstream clubs. opportunity.


    He mentioned young players during the interview, which reminded him of a person.


    A young genius who is not bragging about the Chinese media and football.


    A Chinese teenager who shined in the World Youth Championship next year and was listed as one of the eight new stars.


    Curve wave.


    To be able to participate in the World Youth Championships is definitely not old, and there is room for shaping.


    Aldrich thought of this, not just for competitive considerations, but for commercial reasons.


    In this Asian trip, there are also many sponsors in China who have proposed Millwall to introduce Chinese players, and even they can pay the transfer fee in private.


    If there are Chinese players who can appear in the lineup of the strongest contemporary clubs in Europe, can you imagine how crazy China''s hundreds of millions of fans are?


    What kind of astronomical figures will the economic benefits derived behind this be?


    Of course, Millwall is unlikely to benefit directly, because Chinese fans may not even buy 1% of Millwall''s authentic jerseys, go to the field to watch the ball, and consume the Millwall club brand.


    However, this kind of attention is invisibly improving the value of Millwall brand. It can jointly let Millwall other sponsors pay more sponsorship fees to promote their brands in the Chinese market!


    A few years later, the "King Dong" introduced by Manchester United, is it really worth millions of pounds? Competitive value, not worth it, but commercial value, great value!


    Aldrich called Adam when he got back to London and asked him to contact the transfer department and Chinese sponsors to see if he could cooperate to win the song. Such a transfer really does not need to be kept secret. Instead, it should be high-profile and create influence.


    The transfer of Millwall is not over yet. The transfer of three players, Joe Hart, Baines and Johnson, is over, and he has successfully joined the Millwall youth team.


    But another transfer set off a huge wave in English football.


    "Milwall Robber!"


    "Crazy lion is looting Everton!"


    For the first time, Aldridge broke into anger with Andrew because of player problems.


    He rushed to Andrew''s office with the newspaper, and fell on Andrew''s desk with a cold voice: "What a good thing you did!"


    The female secretary who could not stop Aldridge stood in a panic, and after Andrew got up and waved, the other party retreated and closed the door by the way.


    Andrew picked up the newspaper and glanced at it before throwing it away. The news has been circulating in England these days.


    There are four parties.


    Millwall, Everton, Lu Chubby, Andrew.


    After the incident, Millwall wanted to dig Lu Xiaofa. Andrew received the news and took the initiative to come home and recommend himself as Lu Xiaofa''s agent.


    The famous Andrew did not make any rhetoric, but just gave the Lu Xiaofa family a promise to take them out of poverty and become rich, first of all, they could own a house without renting the city government.


    The Rooney family is a **** Everton, but it is human nature to live, eat, and live a relaxed life.


    Andrew took Rooney easily as an agent.


    Rooney and Everton were originally just apprenticeship contracts, and there was no guarantee of a professional contract. He was still under his age and could not sign a professional contract, but Everton had high hopes.


    Millwall was originally planning to take his time. Rooney was only 15 years old in October, and the operation time was sufficient.


    But the media exposed the contact between Andrew and the Rooney family, and Rooney said in an interview that Millwall was very attractive, which triggered the condemnation of Millwall in the entire English football.


    It is believed that Millwall is using dirty methods to seduce the star of hope in other clubs.


    Players over the age of 16 are adults in the UK. They have the ability to make independent judgments. It is their freedom to sign a professional contract or not. When Rooney does not sign with Everton when he is 16, he chooses to leave and is at best met by Ever. Dayton''s condemnation, but the public felt that there was nothing to be fussed about.


    However, now that Rooney is only 14 years old, Millwall is interested in him, no problem, optimistic about a genius, what''s wrong with this?


    But Aldrich¡¯s brother appeared, and Rooney¡¯s remarks, when combined, could easily become a moral issue, instigating a 14-year-old child to betray!


    This had to contact Everton''s Everton background again.


    Like Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham, and the fiery West Ham United, their coaches unanimously attacked Millwall, calling on the FA to introduce a young player protection mechanism as soon as possible, and fine Millwall!


    In the original history, the English football team always introduced a transfer ban for young players about ten years later, in order to avoid the giants taking away the excellent young players of the weak small teams almost free of charge.


    But Aldridge, this little butterfly, has changed a lot, especially Brazil has introduced a policy of U18 players banned from transferring overseas to protect local interests. Now, it is possible to accelerate the change of policy for young players in England.


    Aldrich doesn''t care what the policy is, the rules of the game are the same, everyone is playing the same game.


    What he cares about is the negative impact of the club behind this storm.


    This is moral condemnation!


    Moral condemnation is sometimes crueler than the law. You don¡¯t even have the power to argue, and you will be raised and talked about for a long time. There is no chance of turning over.


    Because of this, Aldridge rarely frowned at Andrew.


    Andrew has been a bit overdone recently, so he went to find Rooney personally when he was idle, and he got into trouble. He recently hid in the company and escaped the countless reporters who wanted to interview him. He knew that it was useless as long as he said nothing. Avoid the wind and the wind, the matter will soon disappear, the outside world, fresh news everywhere.


    "Sorry, I can only say sorry."


    Andrew was sitting behind the desk, feeling ashamed, and dared not look directly at Aldridge''s eyes.


    Aldrich reached out to him and finally sighed, saying, "Forget it."


    He hoped that Andrew would quarrel with him. If that was the case, the other party would be better. He apologized directly, and Aldridge''s anger vanished instantly.


    Andrew lost a cigarette to Aldridge and smiled bitterly: "I don''t think about this matter, what are you going to do now?"


    Aldridge lit a cigarette and smiled bitterly: "What else can I do? Give Everton money."

 Chapter 534： New stadium unveiled

    Introducing young players, Millwall can buy out the player¡¯s apprenticeship contract, and reach a compensation agreement with the opposing club to make up for his youth training investment. In this regard, Millwall is very generous, like 13-year-old Joe Ha Especially, how much did the club invest in him before? Another example is Ronaldo who had a transfer at a very young age. The cost of the national team was only dozens of sets of jersey shoes and other football equipment.


    Hart, Johnson, Baines, and Millwall paid less than 4 million pounds in total buyout plus compensation.


    To Rooney, things should have happened this way.


    Rooney is talented, otherwise, will Millwall look at him?


    But if Rooney can kick it out, there is a doubt. There are many geniuses before the age of 16, and there are few geniuses in the professional league.


    Everton can refuse Millwall, and they will have to take a certain risk. If Rooney hits his hand, does it mean that he has money and has not earned it?


    But compared to the old clubs of players like Hart, Baines and others, they have little money and fame. Everton''s record after a large investment in the past few years is not ideal. Now the business situation is getting worse, but it is also a club of the Premier League.


    Now taking advantage of the momentum of public opinion, Everton is a bit suspected of taking advantage of the fire.


    They face two questions.


    First, will Rooney still sign Everton at the age of 16?


    Second, did Rooney still have the value of signing when he was 16 years old?


    So the club decided to get Rooney off as soon as possible.


    But there is a knock on Millwall.


    Aldridge''s vision for recruitment in the past few years is needless to say.


    Manchester United, Arsenal and Leeds United also came to join in the excitement and participate in price increases. They also began to lure Rooney in private, but after all, unlike Andrew''s guarantee, Rooney himself is very determined and wants to go to Millwall to make big money in the future.


    By this time, Millwall had no retreat.


    If you quit, you will be condemned by public opinion, and it seems to tell the outside world in a different direction: We will not buy real players except for those dirty means.


    Knowing that Everton was extorting and passing on risk, Millwall had to jump into the pit.


    Aldridge quickly cut through the mess and directly bought out the Rooney contract, while paying ¡ê5 million in compensation to Everton. This is not a Rooney transfer fee, but under the rendering of Fleet Street, the most sensational transfer in England was born. .


    Millwall bought a player who probably did not belong to him for 5 million pounds!


    Because Rooney just came to Millwall for training from Everton, ¡ê5 million compensates Everton¡¯s training fees for Rooney in the past few years. After a year and a half, if Rooney does not sign a professional contract with Millwall, he can accept Any other club invitation, and Millwall will not get a penny!


    Aldridge is using 5 million to make up for the club''s image. Rather than being accused of robber behavior by the public, he would rather be laughed at by people in the football circle for having more money.


    Knowing that he would be ridiculed, Aldridge also began to avoid the media, did not return home after get off work, and ran to accompany Andrew, both of whom were hiding reporters.


    At the same time, another transfer from Millwall began to replace Rooney''s troubles.


    Millwall will introduce Chinese club Qingdao Zhongneng''s 19-year-old rookie Qu Bo!


    New news replaces old news, but the status quo ridiculed by the British football community will not change.


    Most ball critics think that Aldridge is crazy and Millwall is crazy.


    Bring in players from China?


    Ha ha ha...


    Millwall is a regular operation and offers a quotation to Qingdao Zhongneng. The rest of the work is for the sponsor to go around. In terms of transfer fees, Millwall only paid 1 million pounds. This has been replaced by RMB. It has exceeded 12 million. It is definitely Sky-high price! But if the other party''s lion opens his mouth, I''m sorry, either the sponsor will come out, or, go!


    Even the Chinese Football Association is involved. Anyway, it is very strange to get involved in Chinese football. At least the European Football Association, such an organization as the Football Association, rarely come forward to participate in the club transfer unless there is a dispute or violation of the regulations. Yes, because of their power, they have no position to blend.


    Aldridge once had a phone call with Qu Bo himself. He told the other party bluntly: "Your current strength cannot enter the Millwall first team, the bench cannot be played, and because of the labor certificate, neither do you. May be trained in Millwall and participate in the reserve team. If you transfer to Millwall, the ownership is in our club, but you cannot work in the UK, so you will be loaned to our partner club, Belgium, where , I have a friend I trust to cultivate you, I will follow your growth, and wait for you to meet the national team''s number of appearances in the future, when you can get a labor certificate, we will talk about whether you can return to Millwall, my suggestion Yes, if you have ambitions and dreams, then you are too late to start. Many non-European players are 16 years old and 17 years old alone in Europe. You are now 19 years old. If you do not come to Europe to practice, your talents will be abandoned. I can listen to your questions at any time. There are no obstacles for you to communicate with me, but you must learn to integrate into the collective."


    If the second- and third-rate clubs in Europe are fond of Chinese players, they may be blackmailed by Chinese clubs. The grandeur said: It is more conducive to his growth to stay in a familiar environment.


    But Millwall, a world-class strong team that has been listed as "Europe''s public enemy", sent an invitation. If the Chinese club can still refrain and hinder the transfer of players, the slogans of Chinese fans may drown them.


    Everything depends on the opinion of the player himself.


    Qu Bo''s transfer was settled a month later, his ownership was in Millwall, and he also symbolically came to Millwall for a press conference, and then he went directly to Belgium to join the loan. St. Turden, coached by Tolope of the Old Ministry of Delic, where there are a lot of Millwall players, some of whom are unknown, but there are also Essien who have been mixed for two years. In the first division of the Belgian First Division, Essien is also here to gain a foothold and shine.


    Aldridge looked at his broker company in South America without doing anything in Andrew''s company.


    Speaking of business in South America, Andrew was very excited.


    "Aldrich, I finally realized your mood! Selling players is really a profitable business."


    Talking about the pleasure and accomplishment of doing business, Andrew actually prefers South American business.


    The European side is bright and beautiful, and the work is decent, but the money you earn is really a real investment in work, how much work you do, and how much you earn.


    In South America, it is more like speculation, profiteering!


    His partner with South America can buy out the ownership of the player directly through the agent company, the cost is outrageously low, and then once the player is famous, the agent company recommends to come to Europe, the transfer fee is paid directly to their company, sometimes Need to give a small part to the team, but the big heads are in their pockets, the money is made easy and it seems like the wind is blowing, after all, they don¡¯t have to participate in the specific affairs of training players themselves, like the club Work for them the same.


    "Grass, you can''t feel my mood, you just make money, some people want to buy my players, I still don''t want to sell it. Players who let go of the previous years, if the players are willing to stay, I would rather not make that money , Sold, but lost."


    Aldridge looked at the data and refuted Andrew mercilessly.


    Andrew''s eyes rolled, and he no longer irritated Aldridge with a smile.


    Like Shevchenko, now Millwall can''t talk about how much he earned on him. After all, Shevchenko''s worth is still rising.


    Aldridge¡¯s movements suddenly stopped, and a player¡¯s profile was drawn and handed to Andrew, saying, ¡°What¡¯s the situation with him?¡±


    There are some marks on the material that Aldridge can''t understand.


    Andrew looked down and was a 17-year-old Brazilian player. He said indifferently: "Prove that he was abandoned by the club and worthless."


    "It''s worthless? Then you do me a favor. Your company signed him and arranged a club for him in Brazil. When he was 18, Millwall introduced him."


    Andrew re-examined the information, looked at the player''s avatar and name, and raised an eyebrow: "Will he be valuable?"


    "Who knows, maybe I just retaliated against you and kept you busy."


    Aldridge whistle to make a mystery, and then continue to look at the information.


    Andrew chuckled, walked to the side and picked up the phone to call the South American company.


    Let the other side contact the young boy named Tiago Silva with no ball to play according to the information on the document.


    On August 3, Millwall officially held a press conference. Tomorrow, Millwall will usher in a big day for the club''s milestone: the opening of the Lion King Stadium!


    AC Milan, invited to unveil the friendly match, has arrived in London to prepare for the match.


    Aldrich first announced at the press conference that Millwall¡¯s transfer market door was closed, and no one would leave or come.


    This year''s transfer signing may be criticized in the future.


    Aldridge can foresee, but not at ease.


    For example, when he gave up the introduction of Adriano, when the opponent was red and bright, Millwall would be laughed at and missed an emperor superstar.


    In the future, Rooney''s troubles may be accompanied by Rooney''s entire career. Everything that happened today will definitely be mentioned repeatedly in the future.


    Millwall''s negotiations with Real Madrid, missed Casillas and so on.


    This is normal. Clubs that have become the focus of the football world will always have this kind of story.


    Millwall is now the focal point and the "number one public enemy" in UEFA. Everything around them is the talk of the football world.


    In the evening of August 4,


    The brightly lit Lion King Stadium was fully occupied when the fans were ushered in for the first time.


    A historic year and a historic moment, Millwall fans will not miss it, otherwise it will be regrettable.


    In a friendly match, Aldridge did not put pressure on the team. He left the locker room early before the game and gave the players a lot of time.


    Brand-new wardrobes, modern facilities, and many players stunned in front of their wardrobes when they first came here, gazing at their name tags on the wardrobe for a long time.


    There are also games like Ronaldinho and Schneider who jumped into the spa pool to restore physical fitness and relieve fatigue before kicking the game, like a child who is not growing up in a water fight...


    Instead of walking into the stadium, Aldridge in suit and leather went to the VIP box.


    On the way, he met AC Milan''s manager Galliani.


    He smiled and shook hands with Aldridge, congratulations on the unveiling of Millwall''s new stadium.


    The opening ceremony of the stadium was attended by the Mayor of London. The club also invited popular bands to perform on site. Now that the performance has come to an end, the staff is clearing the stadium to prepare for the two teams to enter the game.


    Aldrich chatted with Galliani in the corridor for a long time. From the perspective of European giants, Millwall¡¯s relationship with AC Milan is good, or it should be the best relationship. In Italy, the contrast is the biggest. It was Juventus, and the relationship between the two clubs fell to a freezing point.

 Chapter 535： milestone

    In Europe, in addition to the club''s strong relationship influence in the country, there are special relationships between the giants, such as rivals, derby, cooperation and the like.


    Millwall has become a new giant. In this circle, he doesn¡¯t want to make enemies everywhere. That¡¯s no good. Just like the G14 can challenge UEFA, you offend all the giants that can affect the rules. Then, this is the self-existence. .


    At the level of giants, you need to broaden your path to doing player business, because you need world-class players. When Millwall is unable to become self-sufficient one day, there is one more way to recruit than it is not.


    Like Juventus in Serie A, Millwall will naturally not establish a good basis for dialogue or cooperation with each other without respecting Millwall.


    However, representatives of clubs like Galliani, who have been on all sides, have not been able to make contributions to Millwall in recent years, but at least they have a good cooperation experience with Aldridge, which increases the basis of mutual trust and respect, and Have a good relationship.


    Millwall can enter the G14, and the efforts made by AC Milan cannot be ignored. Although that is the player Galliani wants Millwall, as far as the cooperation effect is concerned, both sides take their own needs, and there is no one who has lost anything. , Or who has encroached on the other party''s interests, such a situation is like Aldridge.


    He also did not expect Millwall to have the relationship foundation that Manchester United and Real Madrid have close to half a century. Like a generation of Real Madrid great Bernabeu can send charcoal at the lowest point of Manchester United, and can say when Real Madrid, which ruled Europe in the sky, lost to Manchester United: If Real Madrid must lose, I am happy to lose to Manchester United.


    In the past, the intersection of giants, in the past, Millwall had no conditions and no capital. Now, they are actually talking about the topic and the immortal legend after 50 years and 100 years.


    Because of this, the opening game of Millwall''s new stadium, Aldridge invited the last UEFA dynasty ruler AC Milan, Galliani readily agreed, which itself is a manifestation of the continued friendship between the two sides.


    Millwall wants to unveil the new stadium decently. Of course, he needs a decent opponent. Looking at Europe, he can only have a handful of clubs with more historical influence and more influence than AC Milan.


    After the joke with Galliani was over, Odri? pushed open the door of a VIP box, which was full of people. When he walked in, the scene fell silent.


    Arthur haha ??rushed towards Aldridge with a big smile, hugged him, and then put away his smile and took Aldridge''s hand seriously, and said in a deep voice: "Congratulations, son, you have become the Millwall Club The greatest character, well, you are the hero of all Millwalls!"


    Aldridge grinned and put his arm around Arthur''s neck, saying, "Aren''t you also a hero? Mr. Chairman."


    "Hahaha, I just dip your light. Everyone knows that I am a mascot.


    "Ha, mascot? Is the demon exorcism? Ha ha ha."


    Aldrich separated from Arthur, hugged his eldest brother Barnett, and then bent down to talk with his nephew Bowen.


    The box is large and there are many people. In addition to Aldridge''s family, there are also their friends. Aldrich''s friend Carter is also here.


    Finally, he walked to the corner of the box, where Melanie stood, in the comfortable seat in front of her. Two one-year-olds, Burt and Earl, looked curiously at the court landscape outside the window.


    Next to them, there was a little boy over a year old sitting quietly in the seat. Behind the seat, a stylish couple looked at Aldridge with a smile. The seat was the crystallization of their love, the eldest son Brooklyn.


    "Mr. Hall, congratulations, today is a big day for you and Millwall."


    "Thank you, David."


    Aldridge shook hands with Beckham. Beckham was dragged by Victoria, who probably accompanied Melanie.


    Aldrich turned his eyes to Melanie and Victoria and smiled: "Congratulations, the new album is very hot."


    Victoria asked sharply: "Did you buy it?"


    Aldridge was caught flat-footed and embarrassed: "Uh, the work is busy, so, uh, the new season will start soon, I will give each player a copy of your album."


    Victoria smiled like a flower and turned her head towards Melanie: "Look, that''s what men are, flattering you on the mouth, actually doing nothing, and making up after being exposed."


    Melanie smiled and didn''t speak.


    Victoria gave Beckham a wink. Beckham picked up Brooklyn. They walked to the other side of the box and ordered some food to sit down and taste.


    Aldridge went to the seat and crouched down before Burt and Earl''s eyes. The reaction of the two little guys stunned Aldridge.


    "father!"


    Aldridge looked at the two sons incredulously, raised his head and looked at Melanie, and asked, "Do they speak?"


    Melanie smiled as she saw Aldridge''s "frightened" expression.


    When she laughed enough, Aldrich held her two sons and kissed her enough, she sighed: "They seem to have recognized people, you haven''t been to Liverpool before, they kept touching with their hands one day TV screen, because the TV is broadcasting the press conference you attended in Asia, and then I took your picture and taught them to call them dad, the effect is not bad, at least I have not encountered others screaming."


    Aldridge gently held the small hands of two smiling innocent sons, feeling a little guilty in his heart.


    He originally planned to go back to London to Liverpool, but to catch up with Rooney, he canceled the plan, fearing that the media would chase him down and disrupt the lives of his son and Melanie¡¯s parents.


    Aldridge looked at the time, he should go to the game to direct the game, he kissed the foreheads of his two sons reluctantly, then stood up and walked in front of Melanie, asked softly: "Let them stay in London for two God?"


    Melanie stared at Aldridge''s eyes and asked, "Why don''t you let me stay here too?"


    Aldridge looked away and shook his head: "This topic has already been discussed, and it is over."


    He has a new life, but he has not turned against Melanie because he is the father of Burt and Earl and Melanie is the mother. This relationship is estimated to make it impossible for him and Melanie to draw a line in his life. Become a passerby.


    But now Aldridge wants to let the two sons stay in London for a few more days, and the father and son can spend longer time together, which must be approved by Melanie.


    Melanie''s expression was silent for a moment and nodded. "I''ll pick them up after three days."


    Aldridge nodded with a smile, greeted the others and left the box. On the way to the stadium, he murmured: I want two days, you give me three days, what the **** are you thinking...


    From the moment Aldridge appeared on the stadium and walked into the audience''s field of vision, the cheers of the entire stadium did not stop for a moment, and the momentum became louder.


    Millwall¡¯s fan organizations organized an orderly occupation of the stands. At the edge of the upper stands, the fan organizations hung out their own drawn banners.


    One of them displayed the trophy won in each year of the past six years. In the 94-95 season, it was the Champions League trophy. Before 94, the fans wrote a word: Wait...


    wait for what?


    The outside world is interpreted as waiting for the arrival of the king Aldridge!


    Lion Roar fans "occupied" the South Stand, with a huge portrait hanging above the stand. Audrey''s upper body hand-drawn drawing is the image of his finger to direct the game. The background is the male lion on the Millwall team emblem and there is a line next to it. Slogan: King of Europe!


    There are also banners organized by major fans on other stands. For example, Nedved''s avatar is rendered as a steel warrior and marked as God of War!


    Ronaldinho''s smart dribbling action is marked as a wizard.


    Henry and Larson''s fist and roar, marked as the killer king.


    ...


    These fans organize self-made slogans or banners hanging on the stands. After passing the club review, as long as they have positive and positive significance, they are allowed to hang on the stands for a long time. As long as they do not affect the spectators'' sight and meet the requirements of the stadium, then the club official It will not be removed, and it will not allow other fans to change it privately. Even if it is to be removed in the future, it will be the result of consultation between the club and the fan organization. Assuming Larsen transfers tomorrow, he will definitely not be able to continue with his banners and slogans. Left in the stands.


    Before the start of the game, Aldrich first shook hands with AC Milan coach Zaccheroni, thanking the other party for leading the team to this meaningful warm-up match with Millwall, while expressing apology.


    There will be a delay in the game, because Millwall¡¯s family portrait this year is intended to be held on this day, this moment, at the opening ceremony of the new stadium.


    Millwall¡¯s family members were not the only ones taking pictures of Millwall¡¯s family this year. The reporters on the sidelines of Fleet Street had been taking pictures, hoping to take today¡¯s pictures from all angles.


    All members of the Millwall first team wore new jerseys for the new season and debuted, pushing the atmosphere to a new climax.


    The staff set up benches on the court, Aldridge smiled and called the coaching staff to his eyes, and he was still interested in making jokes.


    "Vilas, your tie is crooked!"


    Aldridge shouted, Boas immediately looked down at his tie, and then asked Klinsmann to help him see if it was neat, Klinsmann laughed: "He is playing you!"


    The first-team coaching staff sat on the bench with a smile, Aldridge was centered and smiled, and the first-team players stood behind them.


    The photographer who photographed raised his head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "Audridge, can you control your players?"


    Aldridge put on a half-day expression, but the photographer said OK, and asked doubtfully, "What''s wrong?"


    "Look at who is behind you."


    Aldrich turned his head and looked at a serious expression of Ronaldinho with his hands behind his head and raised his chest. Aldrich didn''t have to guess what was going on, laughing and cursing: "Give me honestly! I don''t want to pack you up today!"


    All the teammates around laughed. Ronaldinho had been making gestures on Aldridge''s head just now.


    After the photographer gave a thumbs up, Millwall''s new season first-team family photo shoot was completed.


    Aldridge beckoned to the sidelines again, allowing Najib to bring in other youth team coaches and players.


    In any case, this year is a milestone year and has a positive impact on the entire club. He hopes that the youth team players can feel all this today.


    A group photo of more than a hundred people is less formal, and Aldrich stands around Najib¡¯s neck and stands in the middle, with people in front.


    Suddenly a head got in front of him, Aldridge looked down and found it was Ronaldo. I saw the boy asked straightforwardly, "Boss, why didn''t I appear in the first team''s roster? I think I can Play the Premier League!"


    Aldridge mercilessly pushed Ronaldo''s face back and smiled: "I let you go to the Premier League. Do you want to be crippled as a minor? Be honest, be patient and take back the Youth League title for me next summer Let¡¯s talk with the Youth FA Cup champion."


    "Can I play the Premier League then?"


    Ronaldo turned back and asked Aldridge, seemingly talking about a deal.


    Aldridge had to keep pushing his face to point him in front of the camera, laughing and scolding: "You get me the championship trophy first! Little boy!"


    "I will be an adult soon!"


    "It''s only half a year before I''m 16 years old, don''t say it right away! Point me at the camera, are you looking for a draw?"


    It took a lot of hard work for these more than one hundred people to keep all their heads, but the effect was not bad. The person who shot the most clearly was Messi. He stood at the front.


    ...

 Chapter 536： Wolf smoke

    In the roaring cheers of the Lion King Stadium, Millwall and AC Milan starters lined up.


    When the players of the two sides shook hands before the match, the Millwall team basically shook hands with the AC Milan players. Only when Shevchenko passed by, they chose to embrace.


    In the club museum outside the stadium, Shevchenko is also one of them. Visitors can check the content of Shevchenko¡¯s game when he played Millwall, and the honors he won, even if Stam broke away. In the same way, they are Millwall¡¯s history, which cannot be obliterated. Fans can choose to support and resist emotionally, but history is history and cannot be changed.


    Ronaldinho and Henry have made fans completely forget Trezeguet and Shevchenko. In the idea of ??establishing a team in Aldrich, the current trident is also stronger than in those years, and the second generation of the mad lion reached its peak. Far more powerful than the first generation.


    When the game was about to start, Henry and Larson, who were standing in the middle circle, suddenly heard Ronaldinho yelled at the team with a smile.


    "Hey guys, let''s do a big fight!"


    Henry and Larson smiled at each other, and raised their eyebrows. Nedved''s mouth slightly raised, and a slightly greasy smile rarely appeared.


    Obviously the ambition concealed behind his expression can be seen.


    New season, new stadium, new honors, waiting for them to harvest.


    The dynasty of mad lions.


    They will try their best to continue all this.


    Who does it surpass?


    AC Milan? Liverpool? royal house Madrid?


    Who knows, move on and fight forever!


    As the new season draws closer, the teams preparing for it will pay more attention to the quality of the friendly game. Even though everyone will not work hard, the attitude of the game is very different from the previous one, plus today is a milestone day for Millwall, The crazy lion has been fully committed from the first minute. The game is not fierce, but the game is very regulated, the rhythm is controlled, and the attack is suppressed. AC Milan has been passive from the beginning.


    AC Milan boss Berlusconi couldn''t sit still before the end of last season, because the AC Milan league defending defeat failed, the Champions League was shamefully out, the boss screamed early to win the hearts of fans to buy big stars to boost morale .


    At the end of the season, Galliani had inquired about Pirlo and Zambrotta, Aldridge refused, AC Milan was down, and Mr. X from AC Milan finally took Redondo from Real Madrid. .


    Just looking at the transfer value, 17 million US dollars, Real Madrid seems to be a big jump sale, but before Redondo''s transfer, AC Milan and many media know that Redondo has a knee injury, 17 million, more like AC bought Fame is just a sensation. This transfer was later criticized by many media and classified as suspected of money laundering.


    Galliani actually brought a lot of strong aid to AC Milan in the summer. If Redondo can heal at the level of Real Madrid, even at 80% level, it is definitely a value-for-money deal. The Brazilian national team''s absolute main defender Junior, Uruguay genius Garcia, and the rookie promoted from the youth team Anthony.


    But as Aldridge said in an interview, it is one thing for a player to have strength, and it is another thing to be able to adapt to their own team. Too many recognized strength officers will have no plasticity and room for transformation. Once they cannot Adapted to the style of their own team, then this signing is to end in failure. It is not that the player has a problem. It can only be said that the player and the team collide with each other and cannot be integrated.


    Therefore, this year AC Milan''s recruitment, the biggest gain is actually only Karaze alone.


    Junior, who is on the court today, has become a sinner of AC Milan.


    Millwall finished the first half, leading two goals. Both goals were found after finding a free second pass. The defense zone penetrated was the area guarded by Junior.


    Zaccheroni saw his head straight on the sidelines and replaced Junior after halftime.


    The Brazilian defender is obviously not suitable for Italy''s defensive system, plus Zaccheroni''s own tactical design is a three-back, the central defender must naturally be extremely stable in this link to ensure defensive efficiency.


    Aldridge replaced Lampard and Pedretti in the second half to give Pirlo and Gattuso more rest.


    The cheering of the fans didn''t stop for a moment. Today''s friendly game is the last time they watched the team game after an interval of two and a half months. Millwall''s good competitive state makes everyone satisfied.


    In the second half, AC Milan created some threatening offensive, but it was only a few inches away from the goal. Villa, who was replaced on the field, replaced Larsen and scored a goal, locking the whole game at 3:0.


    The opening of the friendly match at Millwall¡¯s new stadium has achieved a good ending, which will be written into the history of the stadium and the history of the club.


    After the game, the players of the two sides easily exchanged a few words on the court, and Shevchenko took the initiative to walk in front of Aldridge and greet him.


    Aldridge and Shevchenko gave a hug, and said some words of blessing and encouragement in the other''s ear.


    Even though AC Milan is a little bit mean in Serie A, Shevchenko''s days in San Siro are very good. In other words, AC Milan fans go to San Siro to watch Shevchenko''s performance, which is the greatest fun.


    The unveiling ceremony of the new stadium is over. The Lion King Stadium is officially on the stage of history. In the past years, only some posters will be hung outside the stadium. Now they have a big screen to play the team¡¯s new season promotional video. Passers-by, tourists, fans, will wait and see. Fan.


    Aldridge took his two sons to his parents¡¯ home in the eastern suburbs after the game. Grandparents also wanted to stay with the two little guys.


    Arthur tirelessly held parties at his mansion, his old rogue buddies came, and Aldridge stood at the corner with a dinner plate to chat with Carter.


    "Your son is a bit strange."


    Carter looked at the two little guys sitting on the stall not far away and said with a smile.


    Aldridge wiped his mouth and looked in Carter¡¯s eyes, only to see Burt holding a football to entertain himself. The whole person embraced the football on all fours and rolled around on the stall...


    "You mean Earl?"


    "Well, he doesn''t seem to be interested in football. Hasn''t it inherited your genes?"


    Aldrich sneered: "This kind of thing is not absolute."


    Earl sat aside and watched Bert play quietly, without the urge to participate.


    "Try it."


    Carter went to take a trumpet football and put it in front of Earl. After looking at it, Earl finally turned his attention to his brother. It seemed that he was more interested in watching his brother Burt play football. play.


    Aldrich scratched his head as if he was really hit by Carter. The two sons, Burt, like to play football. Earl has no hobbies in this respect, and he can''t even mention a little interest.


    "It''s weird. I used to watch games when I was with him. Earl was also attracted by the games on TV, but now I''m not interested."


    "Hehehe, I''m just kidding, don''t take it seriously, you certainly don''t expect the son to inherit his father''s business. The Hall family is not a football family. A football family that doesn''t play football is very different."


    Aldridge nodded, not rest assured.


    The two sons stayed here for Arthur and Amelia for three days in a row. Apart from going to work in the club, Aldridge would accompany the two sons at other times.


    The Charity Shield game will be Millwall''s last pre-season warm-up game, although most people think it is an official game.


    The Premier League has won the championship this season, Millwall is first, Golden Boots are popular, Henry tops the list, the Champions League won the championship, Millwall is first.


    Millwall has become the biggest star of the Premier League in the new season. In addition to the huge star lineup, there are also signs like Aldridge, and his account has become a factor that England is craving.


    "The Sun" made alternative propaganda for the opening of the new season.


    In a picture, Aldridge stands on the left side of the court, facing the right side, and on the opposite side of him, stands nineteen Premier League coaches.


    Ferguson, Wenger, O''Reilly, Viali, Hollier, Robson...


    This PS propaganda picture is self-evident.


    Aldridge is now king!


    Nineteen other coaches united against the "dictator"!


    The general public likes giants, who seem to be distinguished and have a strong lineup.


    And myths like Millwall''s successful counterattack and usurpation of the summit have created their legendary and sensationalism, making their brands more widely known, loved and sought after, because **** are still the most, mapped out Psychology is to hope that you can also perform a counterattack in life. The spiritual stimulation and motivation brought by Millwall is indescribable.


    But back in football, Millwall¡¯s enemies are increasing.


    The Premier League contenders group all listed Millwall as the number one public enemy. The European arena is determined to ascend to the top of Europe, and it wants to beat Millwall to make its name.


    The wind direction on Fleet Street is also quietly changing. In the past, they hoped that Millwall, the dark horse, would take the traditional giants off the throne. Now, Millwall has dominated the Premier League for two consecutive seasons, and they turned to support other teams and challenged Milwaukee. The Throne of Seoul, otherwise, have you been singing Hallelujah for Millwall?


    Even the Times columnist David Miller, who has always clearly supported Millwall¡¯s position, is also suspected of treason.


    "Millwall is very strong and everyone knows, but considering the competitiveness of the entire Premier League, I look forward to Millwall''s strong challenges in the new season. We look forward to Manchester United, Arsenal, Leeds United, Chelsea, Liverpool Waiting for the team to stop Millwall¡¯s crazy momentum, otherwise? Is the Premier League ending the championship suspense in January next year? No, this is not the situation we want to see, if this happens for the second consecutive season, I I think this is the sorrow of the Premier League. Where is the dignity of these three traditional giants, Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool? Taking out the determination to catch up with Millwall, showing the fighting spirit beyond Millwall, and messing up the pattern of the Premier League, Otherwise, as I said, there are only three Premier League champions Manchester United, only one Premier League champion Arsenal, and one Premier League champion Liverpool, the traditional three giants of England have to bow to Millwall, because this season if Mill Wall defending success, they will have four Premier League championship trophies, and create three consecutive championships of the first team in the Premier League era!"


    Amidst the clamor on Fleet Street, in an instant, the British media was in flames, and the megaphone media of each Premier League team responded.


    Can''t sit back and watch Millwall harvest the trophy mercilessly!


    You can no longer surrender your hand to Millwall like you gave up dignity!


    Can''t...


    Once he succeeded, Millwall counterattacked and reached the top. Now he is sitting on the throne. A new war has begun, suppressing all princes who dare to challenge them!


    In August, the Premier League was full of smoke.

 Chapter 537： Not change

    The recent media frenzy created by the British media has made Aldridge cry and laugh.


    Millwall is portrayed as a ruthless ruling class, while Aldridge is rendered as a dictator who covers the sky!


    What about other Premier League teams?


    It became a vulnerable group that was oppressed and protracted.


    Now, under the media''s call.


    It''s time to rebel!


    It''s time to subvert the tyrants!


    Very strange, Aldridge has another nickname.


    tyrant!


    Uh, this tyrant and Van Gaal''s tyrant obviously have different meanings. Van Gaal''s tyrant is a means of ruling the army, while Aldridge''s tyrant is interpreted as: ruthlessly robbing others of their dreams of championship.


    When the Charity Shield started, Aldridge ridiculed him at the press conference, constantly denying, denying, denying.


    "No, this statement is very unfair! I want to consider asking a lawyer to sue you media people without professional conduct!"


    "Millwall''s success was not given to us by others, nor was it obtained by unethical means. Why should we accuse us? Is it because we are too successful?"


    "Don''t ask me questions about my greatest achievements, I am only 24 years old!"


    It sounds like Aldridge has gone to war with these reporters. In fact, on the contrary, the atmosphere at the scene was very harmonious.


    "Tomorrow''s Charity Shield, against Manchester United, what do you think? If Millwall loses, will it be a signal?"


    "Signal? What signal? We lost the charity shield, so we will lose the league title? The league has not played yet. Please, the charity shield is the charity shield. No result will send a signal. You think too much. "


    ...


    On the day of the Charity Shield match, Millwall and Manchester United played at Wembley.


    The crazy lion fans were depressed.


    Last season we just said goodbye to Wembley, this stadium has a more special emotion for them.


    But just after their forefoot, Arsenal reached an agreement with the FA to fight in the European War. Arsenal used Wembley as their home court!


    Wenger actually disagreed in his heart, but considering that at the Wembley game, the ticket could double, and the consideration of economic benefits defeated reality, he could only compromise.


    In addition to playing in the final of the domestic cup, Wembley is usually the home of the national team game. Millwall borrowed it for a while. Here, the crazy lion fans have wonderful memories. Now Arsenal borrowed it again, and the time is seamlessly connected. There is always an illusion: the girlfriend who slept with herself yesterday was immediately seduce by others...


    Despite these involuntary rising moods, the fans are still very enthusiastic.


    Playing Manchester United, it''s all right!


    Aldridge walked into the field before the game and shook hands with Ferguson, the old Scottish man looked ugly.


    The loud public opinion on Fleet Street made him very uncomfortable.


    It seems that the outside world has already determined that Manchester United''s Low Millwall is the end, and the **** "Sun", preaching Aldridge''s own power to contend with the 19 Premier League coaches.


    Lao Tzu''s "Rongma Half-Life" has countless honors. Today, he is trampled on the feet by a 24-year-old guy. It seems that his foundation at Manchester United was instantly devalued!


    People are more angry than people!


    Throughout the summer, Manchester United has been very active in preparing for the game. Ferguson can''t swallow this tone and will die with Millwall from the beginning of the new season!


    Aldridge¡¯s mood is complicated.


    He actually wanted to mock Ferguson.


    Richard Millson was poached from Millwall. Aldridge didn''t feel distressed, he just wanted to run against each other.


    As a result, Ferguson first looked at him with a bitter and hatredful look, and Aldridge did not speak well to stimulate the other party.


    "Haha, Martin, did you see the expression of Ferguson and Hall when facing each other?"


    "Of course I saw that Manchester United scored 88 points last season, the highest score that Manchester United scored in the Premier League after restructuring 20 teams. The result was a loss to Millwall, who continued to win Milwaukee in the second half. Well, I was expecting Millwall to crash from the end of February, but they worked hard to the end, not only did they not see Millwall fall off the chain, but they were lined up at Old Trafford to welcome Millwall¡¯s successful defending! That was simply Spreading salt on Manchester United''s wounds, will Ferguson look good?"


    "Hahaha, Ferguson said that Millwall is still the favourite to win the Premier League in the new season, but from the summer preparations, Manchester United has great ambitions for the new season. Ferguson is well versed in psychological warfare. He is now making Millwall become focus."


    "Look at today''s two teams'' starters. Both teams are fully engaged. Well, Millwall left Makelele this summer, Gattuso replaced, other things have not changed, the formation is still 433. Manchester United is on the same side. There were three changes last season. The first was the goalkeeper position. Bartz replaced Bosnich. The young Brown served as the central defender. Sylvester knocked out Elvin and played the left back."


    Aldridge returned to the coach seat and sat down to observe the game quietly.


    Manchester United¡¯s framework remains unchanged, and basically its playstyle will not change significantly.


    While Millwall is listed as the top European team, the outside world seems to have overlooked a very important fact: Millwall still has room to rise and is still improving!


    Ronaldinho, Pirlo, Zambrotta, Henry and other players have room for improvement.


    "York''s shot! Unfortunately, missed, Millwall patiently organized the offense. Today Millwall''s offense seems to be a bit of a rib, and he just beat Brown."


    "This is a matter of course. Brown is young and inexperienced. He is the weakest link on the Manchester United defender line."


    The defender has successfully defended ten times in this session, which may be destroyed by one negligence or mistake.


    Under heavy pressure, Brown made a mistake in the 33rd minute of the first half when Henry and Nedved concentrated and beat.


    Henry took the ball back and knocked it back, and Nedved inserted and carried Keane forward.


    Brown is messy, rob or not?


    Seeing that Keane failed to steal the ball from Nedved, Brown still chose to step forward to support. As a result, he moved, Nedved went straight, and Henry made a small angle after the anti-offside shot and penetrated the national teammate Bates. Ten fingers off.


    "Wow, Martin, I was not surprised by this goal. Henry got such a chance to send the ball to the goal. It¡¯s too normal, but the process is very interesting, Keane, Nedved, hehe, whenever Mill When Wall played against Manchester United, the collision between the two was the focus. This time, Keane failed to defeat Nedved."


    Keane has a strong defense, but it does not mean that every defense can be successful, otherwise, he is a god.


    In particular, his contest with Nedved, the two are half a catty, have a win and lose each other, has always been a major landscape in the Premier League.


    Unlike Keene''s confrontation with Vieira, after all, they are both in the middle of the backcourt and have a large range of activities, but direct collisions are not frequent. People often compare the two because they are in similar positions. And Keane and Nedved are exactly the two who directly compete in the offense and defense.


    Just now, Kean directly confronted Nedved with strength when he inserted the ball in front of Nedved. As a result, he failed to knock down Nedved. Nedved''s center of gravity was a little off, and he took the ball away from Kean. Chasing from behind, there is no other way than foul, the position is not dominant, and now the team lost the ball, the only thing he regrets is that he did not take the foul.


    Watching Millwall players celebrate the goal, Keane reluctantly spread his hand to Brown.


    He didn''t guard Nedved, and he didn''t blame Brown too much, but Brown easily lost his position, which was really unacceptable.


    The younger generation of Brown felt quite wronged. On the opposite side, a Henry was on the middle. He came up to support, and there should be Stam in the back.


    Stam is almost numb to this kind of ball loss. If he can avoid the ball loss by making up the position, then the matter is very simple. However, while Nedved received the ball, Larson ran out of position, West Elvis was clearly behind Larsen. If he went to make up, Henry knocked horizontally and Larsen could almost hit the empty goal.


    Ferguson chewed chewing gum more quickly on the sidelines.


    After all, in the face of top-level attack groups, you have to have top-level defenses.


    Stam is okay, but without a good central defender, a quasi-world-level or above central defender, is it easy to find all over the world? It''s not too difficult, but it can''t be dug!


    Ferguson wanted to try flying two wings against Millwall today, and it turned out that his pre-match tactical arrangement ended in failure.


    The weakness of Brown''s point triggered a huge chain reaction. Keane and Neville have to help him. The frontcourt support is not enough, causing Ronaldinho to press Manchester United on the left but the Beckham changes completely. Become an engineer and work hard in the back field.


    Gattuso himself does not have the powerful characteristics of Maclele''s pre-judgment and accurate interception, but he has run through a large range and decisively defended, either succeeding or fouling, becoming a **** stick, stirring up Manchester United''s central attack. It was turned upside down and frustrated.


    This was originally a charity shield friendly game, but Ferguson was no longer able to stand on the sidelines.


    Manchester United insisted on 442 for many years under his men. Obviously, when the lineup was rated as the top in Europe, Millwall was repressed.


    Controlling the rhythm, Pirlo''s accurate shooting is more difficult than before, and Millwall''s midfield advantage is too great.


    This is not just a player''s personal ability. Originally, their three midfielders, Gattuso, Pirlo, Nedved, and the advantages of the three in the middle are more obvious than Scholes and Keane. The transmission and control cooperation is still a cutting formation to defend against the defense. Millwall''s advantage in the midfield is clear at a glance.


    Ferguson began brewing Manchester United''s tactical changes in his mind.


    It won''t change.


    Otherwise, as long as they play against Millwall, they fall in the middle and the initiative is completely given to the opponent.


    How to change it requires careful consideration. Now, at best, it is to test the player''s personal ability.


    Millwall gave Face to Ferguson very much. Whatever he thought, Millwall gave him whatever he wanted.


    Brown, I don''t know if there will be a nightmare after this game.


    He was passed by Ronaldinho twice in 10 minutes, and the second time he ran into Neville in awkwardness.


    It is a pity that Ronaldinho did not bring a shooting boot. After two inbound breakthrough attempts to get a shot, he failed to send the ball into the goal. Once he flies and once Tai Chi is caught in the arms of Bartz.


    At the end of the first half of the game, Millwall led by one goal, and the Manchester United crowd will suffocate toward the player channel.


    Aldridge also lowered his head to the locker room.


    The targeted deployment before the game was to play Brown. It is understandable that he pinched seven inches to the death.


    The effect is not bad, of course, there is also a hint of malicious pleasure in his heart: it is best to be able to put Brown''s psychological shadow of abuse, and meet Milwall''s feet.


    But Millwall really can''t stay the same in the new season.


    They are targeted, public enemies in Europe, and they are being studied throughout Europe. If they remain unchanged, this advantage may be targeted to be worn away little by little.


    He was thinking about the situation on the field and combined with the advantages of Gattuso to make some changes.

 Chapter 538： Abnormal state

    At halftime, Aldridge explained to the players the fine-tuning of the second half with a tactical board.


    He was gratified that when this group of players had achieved achievements that other players could only look forward to in their lifetime, in a friendly game, Aldridge made tactical adjustments, they did not have any impatience, Even the players who are not at the center of adjustment have their ears listened attentively.


    This is a manifestation of excellent professional qualities. Unlike some players who have become famous, the contrast is huge.


    Arranged tactics, as soon as the second half came up, Manchester United had improved first, Beckham and Giggs, one pass and one burst, played on the sidelines.


    York is clearly out of shape today. Whether it is Beckham''s 45-degree diagonal long pass or Scholes'' straight plug with a stitching in, he stopped the ball too large, which was his own mistake. There is a loss of standards.


    Manchester United¡¯s short-term advantage was suppressed by Millwall after no positive results were achieved.


    Brown was miserable in the first half. Manchester United consciously actively strengthened his defensive density in the second half, but when Millwall''s offensive pressure came up, they found that it was not only Brown who had the problem, and the full-back seemed to be unable to calm down. Get stuck!


    Neville has honed for several years, as long as he is not distracted by himself, the match with Ronaldinho is suppressed, but the key defense is also reassuring. The problem is the other side, Sylvester''s left.


    "Oh huh, Schneider spun the ball beautifully and continuously changed direction. Sylvester was shaken and dizzy. After Schneider''s assist came up, he was on the right side as a nobody! Before returning to the penalty area, beautiful, Pirlo unmarked, long shot, good shot! Millwall scored another goal, 2:0."


    Pirlo was running slowly towards Schneider, but Gattuso fell directly to the ground from behind...


    Schneider smiled face-to-face, and fell proactively to the ground, smiling at Pirlo against the turf.


    Schneider''s heart hurts.


    He can''t be said to be abused in the position of the right back, but when he met Carlos and Figo, these god-level opponents, they were often suppressed in awkwardness during the game. Now, it is his turn to suppress others.


    Sylvester has nothing to struggle with.


    The defender''s life is often abused.


    Two goals lead, Aldridge replaced the trident.


    Let Klose, Grenchar, and Villa charge up.


    Sylvester was so depressed.


    Whether he was defending Larson before, or now facing Glenshire, the opponent rarely meets him one-on-one. After all, for Larson, he plays a one-on-one battle with Silvester. It doesn''t make much sense, but as long as Larsson gets rid of the opponent''s defense and advances to the penalty area in time, he may be able to create a goal, which is more meaningful than passing Silvester ten times.


    In the second half, Sylvester was attacked by Schneider three times. If he closed to the middle, the side was given to Schneider. If he guarded the side, Schneider could pass him, and he could not pass. His teammates cooperated, making him a little unable to find North.


    There is nothing new about the full-back assists. Aldrich is more concerned about defense. The focus of his tactical adjustment is also in this link. It is a severe test for Gattuso.


    Manchester United also gave Audridge the opportunity to inspect Gattuso. When Millwall''s attack was unsuccessful and Schneider failed to return to position for the first time, of course Manchester United will focus on the offensive focus on the Giggs side. .


    Giggs rushed forward after winning the ball on the wing. Gattuso immediately followed the defense. From the moment when Millwall''s attack failed and Manchester United switched from defense to offense, Aldridge observed Gattuso''s first reaction.


    Gattuso observed the position of Manchester United''s offensive player. When the ball passed to the side of Giggs, he had already started and the response was very good and satisfactory.


    At the same time, Gattuso also pointed to the area behind the middle road, obviously to Pirlo.


    Compared to Makelele, who is often calmer, Gattuso''s new main force has the majesty of leadership.


    Occupy the best position of defense, block the route of Giggs short pass, force the opponent to slow down, and then, entangle the opponent.


    It''s hard to say that Gattuso has a leader''s temperament, but he has his own advantage: crazy dog ??spirit!


    Seeing Gattuso''s performance in this defense, Aldridge nodded in satisfaction, his eyes showing admiration.


    The ball has not been snatched.


    It does not matter.


    Gattuso responded quickly to fill the position and occupied the position, which has delayed Manchester United''s offensive speed. In about 6-7 seconds, Millwall''s frontcourt players returned to the defense and the offensive and defensive situation passed every second. Changes are taking place.


    Giggs finally chose to cross with the ball, Materazzi easily header.


    Aldridge got up from his seat and walked to the sidelines to applaud the team''s defense this time and gave a thumbs up.


    It is not only offense that can win praise and defense. It should also be praised. To win the championship, defense is more important than offense.


    Ferguson''s nose was almost crooked.


    When will Millwall have a big thunder explode on his own!


    Why did I come across Bosnich? Millwall walked with Trezeguet, Henry made it up, walked Makelele, and **** another Italian tough guy!


    If you want to score Makelele and Gattuso, obviously Makelele will score higher than Gattuso, but different players have different usages. The coach can¡¯t use fixed tactics to apply players, but in the appropriate Players are flexible in creating the most suitable tactics in the lineup.


    Millwall only changed in the midfield.


    Makelele''s coping ability is lacking in Gattuso. Similarly, Gattuso''s reaction and crazy rushing ability are that he can be used to enhance the team''s strengths.


    Aldridge has used Gattuso all these years. In addition to training him, he is also teaching him to use his brain to play football. You know, he has not been in the team for a long time. When the initial bench came out, the frizzy did not reflect the mad dog. Spirit, but like a mad dog, he has received more yellow cards off the bench than the main player. In the past two years, Gattuso has converged and began to learn to play smart football without losing his mad dog spirit.


    This is not a conflict. Players who are not running around the field must be attached to the black-footed attribute of rashness and frizz.


    In the 73rd minute of the game, Scholes passed a terrible straight stopper, almost letting Matera pull the egg, he stretched his foot to block, but the football slipped over the toe, and the successful offside off York After receiving the ball, he knocked it back to York. At this time, York was unmarked, almost at the penalty spot, he shot hard, and there seemed to be a plane across the sky. York wanted to hit it with a ball!


    "Unbelievable! York''s goal is so outrageous that he can''t bear to watch it a second time. This is a torture to all Manchester United fans. What is he doing!"


    "Maybe he is thinking about something else?"


    "Huh? Andy, what are you suggesting?"


    "No, I have no hint, huh, huh."


    In a charity shield match, Ferguson''s heart attack exploded.


    Can the opportunity just now be easily wasted? !


    Today, York¡¯s absence is visible to everyone, which makes it easy for people to find out why.


    Perhaps, it is because he is related to the third edition of the girl''s love for rape.


    Anyway, the stars in England who are beyond their reputation are often the targets of sugar daddy girls.


    York has shown his limelight at Manchester United and is naturally the subject of tabloid chase.


    Fortunately, Millwall, these big-name stars, have either already established a family business or are foreign players, and their lives are hiding from British paparazzi.


    Aldridge replaced the bench players one after another. The score was never rewritten. At the end of the game, Millwall beat Manchester United 2-0.


    "Congratulations to Millwall for winning the Charity Shield Championship before the opening of the new season. Fleet Street has recently advocated other teams to attack Millwall, but in terms of today''s game, it seems that the gap between Manchester United and Millwall is still very obvious. We can¡¯t imagine anything other than Millwall¡¯s own problems, which enemies can stop them.¡±


    Aldrich shook hands with Ferguson and hugged each player, congratulations, but this champion, it is reasonable to celebrate with restraint.


    The team celebrated the championship in Wembley, took a group photo in the locker room, and then boarded the return bus. Audric unexpectedly discovered that Ronaldinho was missing. When asked, Joe Cole said with an ambiguous smile: "He Anxious to go on a date."


    It was time to leave, Aldridge asked the driver to start, and he asked curiously: "He has a new partner?"


    "Yeah, a beautiful female anchor."


    Aldridge didn''t take it seriously.


    Even, he felt pretty good.


    Players always fall in love and get married.


    It''s much better than going to clubbing and having fun.


    To put it bluntly, it does not affect the football.


    The team has a week off, and then ushered in the new season opener of the Premier League.


    After returning to East London, the team was disbanded and given them a day off. Aldridge drove to his new home.


    In the new season, Yiwen resigned from the club. She does not want to stay in the club, which will affect Audridge''s reputation, so that she and Audridge will become office romances.


    The decoration of the new home is based on Yiwen''s one-person clapboard. It is not gorgeous or magnificent. It is very simple and simple, and Audridge likes it.


    When he returned home, there was no one in the house, so he sat on the sofa alone.


    Burt and Earl sent back to Liverpool, Melanie and three other hot girls released a new album, the market responded well, which means that her career will continue, and then it will be very busy.


    His two sons were not cared for by their parents.


    Someone opened the door and Aldridge turned his head to look around, saw Ewen carrying big and small things, and asked curiously, "What did you buy?"


    "Something for young children."


    "Ok?"


    Yiwen glanced upstairs and said, "I prepared a room for Burt and Earl above. I bought some bedding suitable for their age. If you pick them up to live, at least you will not be in a hurry. If, if you or their mother do not want me to be present, I can go back to the original apartment when you pick them up."


    Aldrich stared at Ewen, looking at Ewen with a hairy heart, and repeatedly asked, "Hey? What''s wrong with you? Speak."


    Aldrich took off his suit, loosened his tie, stood up and walked over to throw things from her hands to the ground, then took her tender face, pressed her whole body against the wall, and lowered her head to stare at her beautiful face, Lightly said: "I don''t want to talk, I just want to kiss you."


    "Maybe you should take a bath first, the smell on your body, um..."


    Aldridge kissed her lips, and after a while, she withdrew her head and hugged Ewen around his neck, laughing: "Mr. Hall, I know you just got a careless trophy today, but you really It¡¯s time to take a shower and tell me, who poured champagne on you again?"


    "Gattuso."


    "Did you fight back?"


    "No, I just plan to give him some special tasks during two days of training."


    "Hehehe, is the communique private?"


    "Of course not. I''m doing it for his good. Don''t question my professionalism."


    "Hahaha, sophistry! Hurry and take a shower."


    Aldridge carried her on his shoulders and took it for granted: "You seem to sweat a lot, well, wash it together."

 Chapter 539： All British support to fight crazy lion

    All Premier League fans are eagerly anticipating the new season. The Premier League is about to start, and the defending champion Millwall has a tough battle in the first round.


    The London Derby between rivals.


    Chelsea vs Millwall.


    Before going to Stamford Bridge, Aldridge''s interview before the game was unresponsive. At his current level, he could not scream and kill Chelsea. On the contrary, it was enough to stimulate his opponent lightly.


    "Chelsea must first stabilize the internal military heart. I don¡¯t know what happened to their locker room, but according to the information disclosed by the media, their troubles have not been resolved last season. Well, I always think that if a team cannot be stabilized internally, , Then it¡¯s impossible to say how strong the overall combat power will be. As for the player¡¯s personal ability, it¡¯s hypocritical.


    Viali responded, warning Aldridge to manage his mouth: Chelsea, it''s not your turn to worry!


    Aldridge led his team as a guest at Stamford Bridge. Although Chelsea have been recruiting for years, and some of the players who have been recruited can directly enter the main lineup, this comes with a problem: running in.


    Each season must be run-in for the new lineup. If it is a non-core role player, this run-in may have little effect, but the main striker, the organization of the midfield position and the like, such run-in is extremely important, affecting the degree of the game very large.


    This year they sold Sutton, Hasselbaink replaced, and Wise, Boyette and others were older.


    Playing such a Chelsea, Aldridge believes that his opponent''s strength has decreased a lot.


    Viali didn''t know if it was too much pressure, he played Millwall at home and dared to play three forwards!


    Zola, Hasselbaink, Good Johnson!


    Aldridge laughed at the big gift, mainly at the Stamford Bridge against the guest, the midfielder got the world, Millwall led by two goals in the first half, Chelsea had many strikers, but basically all were invisible.


    In the second half, Viali changed to 451 again, withdrew two forwards, replaced two midfielders, and strangled in the midfield.


    Aldridge was proud and happily greeted the start of the new season, but at the end of the game, he left Stamford Bridge without throwing Viali and even the interview was absent after the game.


    Nedved is hurt!


    Seriously injured!


    Ronaldinho also suffered minor injuries. The former team doctor did not give the initial diagnosis. Obviously the injury is not optimistic, and Ronaldinho will truce for a month.


    In the second half of Chelsea, 10 engineers were on the field, obviously losing their eyes.


    After receiving the FA''s symbolic punishment the next day, Aldridge spoke to the media.


    "This is Chelsea, I am not surprised."


    A simple sentence is full of Aldridge''s contempt for the dead enemy on behalf of the mad lion.


    Nedved, who has had a very high attendance rate in the past six years and rarely suffers from injuries, will have to stay away from the field for up to 5 months this time!


    The fastest, and will not come back until January next year, this is a clear blow to Millwall.


    At the same time, another explosive news came out of Chelsea.


    The third day after Chelsea lost to Millwall 0:2, Chelsea officially announced that Vialli was fired!


    Bates can¡¯t take it anymore, and Chelsea fans can¡¯t take it anymore. Last season and the new season, Chelsea lost two games in a row to the same opponent. The previous game lost the FA Cup. The last game lost the first game of the new season at home.


    Hodel, Gullit, Viali, Chelsea and Millwall have played in the Premier League for five years, and the three coaches have failed to achieve a fan''s most desired result: victory over Aldridge!


    If there is no enemy sentiment, Chelsea fans will be relieved, not difficult to accept, after all, now Millwall has expanded the league undefeated games to 49 games!


    In the battle record, it is not only the Chelsea family that is definitely at the disadvantage.


    Just after Viali¡¯s class, Bates invited the tinker Ranieri to take over. This old man will shoulder the responsibility of rebuilding Chelsea and rebuilding. After all, Chelsea¡¯s lineup is indeed too old. Who let them In the past, the recruitment was based on famous players. Who would like to come to Chelsea when he was a famous player in his fight? When I arrived, my age was not too small. After serving for two or three years, renewal is inevitable.


    The injuries of Nedved and Ronaldinho have caused Millwall to fall into a gloom after the start of the new season. People are speculating who will replace them.


    In the second round of the Premier League, Millwall vs. Leicester City, Aldridge surprisingly played Klose at the front, and it was not surprising that Glenchard was substituted for Ronaldinho.


    At Lion King Stadium, Leicester City, who changed coaches and lost two forwards in the new season, was beaten by Millwall.


    After 90 minutes, all the fans were convinced that even if Ronaldinho and Nedved were away from the stadium due to injury, their team could still be invincible.


    6:0.


    A slaughter score seemed to dispel everyone''s doubts, and Henry''s hat trick also announced that he quickly entered the state in the new season.


    Larson, Klose, and Materazzi each scored a goal, and everything seemed better than expected.


    Millwall''s two-game winning streak in the new season has panicked the fleet.


    According to this trend, the Premier League may end halfway and **** no suspense!


    Major professional ball critics have offered tips to the Premier League team, and everyone is studying Millwall''s tactics and discussing strategies to restrain them.


    In the end, it really summed up a set of seemingly reasonable methods.


    Liverpool fame Alan Hansen published in his column entitled: How to improve the chances of winning against Millwall. Such an article.


    The football game is unpredictable. Sometimes it is impossible to find. Different players and different teams are naturally impossible to apply a tactical design. Therefore, Hansen only makes targeted suggestions in the big frame.


    First, you can only arrange one striker at most!


    The reason is very simple. If you arrange two or more forwards, you will have insufficient manpower in the midfield and backcourt. The British 442 platoon formation cannot compete with Millwall in the midfield. Is Manchester United a strong midfielder? ? The results of it?


    Second, in midfield, you need at least two full-time defensive players.


    While the number of midfielders does not fall, defensive strategy must arrange for a defensive player to flexibly plug in with the hidden attack point of anti-Milwall, especially when your frontcourt player cannot return to the defense in time to limit Milwaukee. In the case of Pirlo, the core of the organization, a defensive midfielder countered Millwall''s midfield, and a defensive midfielder quickly resolved the impact of the opponent and inserted the offensive player.


    Third, the discipline and tacit understanding of the defense of the back line.


    We have seen Millwall¡¯s offense countless times penetrate the opponent¡¯s defense line, and most of them are defensive players who are out of position when dealing with fast breaks, or are too far away from their teammates to appear defensively empty, Millwall penetrates The ability of the team to pass the cut is the best in the world, so your four or five guards must have defensive tacitness and discipline, calmly judge the situation on the field, and don¡¯t lose your head when the opponent¡¯s attack advances to a dangerous zone. Bit.


    ...


    Aldrich also read this article. In the end, he found that in fact, the suggestions of various famous places are actually vaguely telling other Premier League teams: put a bus and add a midfield frenzy.


    A group of engineers can at least increase your probability of not losing!


    As for how to win, I''m sorry, for most of the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, that is simply a wish, and only strong teams have the strength to achieve the idea of ??how to win.


    It is not practical for others to come up with ideas. Millwall''s madness last season, coupled with the momentum of 50 undefeated records still on the way, most Premier League teams are already afraid.


    Dare to attack is one of the manifestations. Even if it is 442, once the attack is counterattacked in midfield, they can''t withstand Millwall''s impact.


    Needless to say about tactics, Mo said that Ronaldinho, Nedvide, Henry, even Glen Roth, who replaced Ronaldinho, weren''t completely frozen. They couldn''t resist a single point, and the collapse of the whole line was a matter of course.


    In the new season, Millwall''s invincible life is triggering the tactical change of the strong team, and the weak team is also changing in the same period.


    In the third round of the Premier League, Millwall visited Riverside Stadium.


    Middlesbrough''s starter looks like a 442, in fact, they did not pose a full-time forward.


    No front line!


    Two players appearing in the forward position, one is the midfielder and the other is the midfielder. The static formation is completely deceptive.


    In fact, it is a 451 formation, and at the forefront is still a defensive midfielder.


    Double midfielders, bilateral forwards, midfielders, midfielders.


    Middlesbrough is such a dense midfield formation at home.


    This is really a bit different from the pendulum bus I encountered before. The pendulum bus that Millwall encountered in the past was to block the dangerous zone of the restricted area from leaking. Now Middlesbrough is compressing the midfield area. They sacrificed the striker and had a numerical advantage in the midfield, madly blocking Millwall''s offensive.


    Surprisingly, the scene of this game was very exciting.


    Because neither team can control the midfield, Millwall has no space, the time to process the ball becomes less, and he cannot fall quickly and smoothly. There are many opponents, it is very difficult to walk the monkey, and Middlesbrough is successful. Afterwards, he played the ball without hesitation, succeeded, and continued to defend without pulling down.


    The rhythm of the game is very fast, and dangers are constantly being staged.


    The final score was 1:1. Middlesbrough seemed like a blind cat catching a dead mouse.


    After the 16 anti-robbing successes in the audience, the Zhise succeeded only once, only once, but scored a goal.


    Millwall''s 23-foot sporting goal failed to return, and finally the score was equalized by a corner kick.


    Aldridge had this kind of consciousness before the season. The new season will be very difficult. What he can comfort himself is that Ronaldinho and Nedved are not there.


    Whether it is Glenshire or Klose, the ability to handle the ball in a small area is obviously not as good as the original main force. In the case where the opponents are so arranged, the team¡¯s ability to handle the ball in a small area and the situation are judged to be higher. Requirements.


    Fleet Street cheered Middlesbrough, although they almost made Millwall¡¯s undefeated record a success and failure, but at least, they didn¡¯t lose, and the game wasn¡¯t the ugly way of putting the bus in the past, the ball, more The time was in the midfield where you came and went.


    If the scene was when Millwall pressed Tottenham to a fat beat and the result was that Tottenham held a draw, then this is a shame, but Middlesbrough is brave and tenaciously fighting for the ball in the midfield, even if it is At the expense of the striker, outsiders also think Middlesbrough is good.


    Before the start of the fourth round of the Premier League, Millwall sent off the bench to play in the League Cup. Villa, Ramall and Joe Cole shined in the game to help Millwall beat the underdog with four goals. wheel.


    In the UEFA Champions League new season lottery draw, Audridge was absent. He asked Adam to go to the scene on behalf of the club. He did not want to go.


    After the Champions League expansion, how to draw the group draw, the probability of the death group is not great, and Aldridge is not afraid of the death group, what kind of draw, according to the correct.

 Chapter 540： Its YY or hard time

    2: 0!


    Millwall defeated last season''s UEFA Champions League Galatasaray in the European Super Cup, and won the tasteless championship with no blood of blood. Then, the European Championship group draw began.


    Millwall


    Sporting Lisbon


    Hamburger


    Moscow Spartan


    This is the result of the draw of Millwall in the first stage of the Champions League in the new season.


    There is no doubt that this is a wonderful sign.


    Is there suspense in Millwall''s qualifying?


    No.


    But precisely because it did not, it triggered the criticism of the Champions League by the mainstream European media.


    Last season''s Champions League expansion, the outside voice is not strong, most people hold the mentality to watch the lively and good show, and look forward to the birth of the dark horse.


    But this season, everyone will take another look at the results of the first stage group draw, so that everyone is interested in predicting the Champions League 16 qualifying.


    The difference between the strengths and weaknesses of the various groups is too obvious, and only AC Milan, Barcelona, ??Leeds United, Bisidas, four teams are divided into a group with a little taste of death.


    But in this dead group, three teams from England and Italy did not have a league champion.


    The suspense of the UEFA Champions League group stage has plummeted, and the consequences are also very intuitive: the ratings have dropped.


    Even if this is the death group of AC Milan, perhaps Leeds will play Bixidas. It is estimated that no one but the fans of the two teams will be interested in watching the game simultaneously.


    Millwall is also depressed. From the perspective of the development of the club''s business value, they actually hope that there will be one or two challenging opponents in the group, so that their game will attract more fans to watch.


    From the standpoint of UEFA, the expansion of the army will bring benefits to other small clubs, which is a bit preached during the development of socialism: the person who gets rich first drives others to get rich.


    Millwall''s strength in this group is obviously at least one grade higher than that of the other three opponents. Then the game between them, Millwall is the focus of attention. Incidentally, it can also bring influence and attention to the opponent. Seoul is actually the signboard of this group.


    In other words, UEFA''s expansion is at the expense of the attractiveness of the group stage to envelope the support of non-mainstream powers.


    In the group stage, the powerful teams will take you to play. You make a little money, show your face, your strength is not enough to get out of the line, and you have the motivation to come again next year.


    Then, after reaching the top 16, the giant game really kicked off.


    But it''s true that there are giants who were planted in the group stage before the round of 16, which is indeed called an upset, but the decline in the nature of the game''s attractiveness will not change.


    In the past, people were reluctant to miss any game in the Champions League. The group stage players are like Lin. If they miss a game, they may miss a classic.


    But now, Mo said that he missed a group match. It is estimated that all the group matches will not be watched. Unfortunately, it will not be too big, because the good show must be behind, the previous game is more exciting, but the big premise of the qualifying suspense does not fluctuate too much.


    UEFA, G14 and other organizations are driven by interests. The Champions League, which was originally designed to compete with the top teams, has gradually changed its taste.


    Aldrich was worried and useless. UEFA expansion was forced by the situation. When Platini came to power in the future, the Champions League became a charity stage for poverty alleviation.


    From a good point of view, the pressure of a strong team is not so great. When the conditions are relaxed, you can train your troops and give young people more opportunities.


    There are many unfavorable aspects, the schedule is intensive, especially for the England team, this will become a burden.


    When a reporter interviewed Aldridge to ask about his views on the Champions League draw, he looked helplessly at the questioning reporter at the press conference before the Premier League.


    What else is there to say?


    There is no way, the sounding talk about the opponents in the group is very strong, Millwall can not be taken lightly, must go all out to qualify.


    In the fourth round of the Premier League, Millwall guest challenged the black cat Sunderland, the result is 0:0.


    The defending champion suffered a tie in two consecutive rounds, Aldridge became in a bad mood, and Materazzi was injured again.


    It''s normal for players to be injured, and bad luck has come together to cause a lot of injuries. It can''t be said that it is an accident, but it is a severe test for Millwall.


    The league is temporarily suspended, the FIFA match day is coming, the 02 World Cup European zone qualifiers are scorching, and the days of the English fans are coming again.


    For the fans of the England national team, it is painful or YY for only a few weeks throughout the year. After all, the league, the European war is still mainstream, and very few fans simply do not support the national team without club support.


    Even if there is such a fan who simply supports the national team and has no club position, then they cannot focus on the English national team all year round. "After all, the national team gathers training and becomes the focus, and only the fixed FIFA game. In other days, Fleet Street also regards the national team as nothing, otherwise? Who will pay for the hype?


    The England national team has performed well. Everyone can brag about YY. If they do not perform well, they can only vent in the pain of torture.


    Millwall''s team became fragmented on FIFA match day, raising the national team''s upward adjustment, healing the wounded, even young players, were called by the low-level national team.


    Aldridge put the team on holiday as usual, and he went to Liverpool to visit his two sons.


    He found an interesting phenomenon.


    The eldest son, Burt, loves football very much.


    The younger son Earl, on the contrary, has no interest in football as a "toy."


    However, when Aldridge was sitting on the sofa watching England''s visit to Finland, there was an additional audience around him.


    Earl sat next to him in a decent manner, watching the football match on the big TV screen, while his elder brother Bert played football on the carpet.


    At this time, Aldridge took another football to dangle in front of Earl''s eyes, trying to look at his interest value, but Earl turned a blind eye and instead turned on Aldridge!


    Well, when children yelled or waved their arms, Aldridge understood that he was angry.


    Aldridge dropped the football because it blocked Earl¡¯s sight, and then Earl calmed down and continued to watch TV.


    Aldridge picked up the remote control and changed stations, and Earl''s screaming sounded again.


    Aldridge smiled.


    understood.


    It turns out Earl likes to watch football games, probably like children like to watch cartoons.


    Whether the one-year-old son can understand it, Aldridge does not know, but he is happy to put Earle on his lap. The father and son watched the game of the England national team together. Burt lay down after he was tired of playing on the carpet. Sleeping on the carpet with his back up.


    Uh, in a game that was tortured in the eyes of Aldridge, Earl seemed to be interested. Until the end of the game, Earl saw that the TV began to broadcast advertisements, and dragged Aldridge''s hand repeatedly, it seemed that he wanted to let The TV continued to broadcast football games, and it took Aldridge a long time to distract him.


    England and Finland, draw!


    If it is placed in a relaxed environment, England will not be able to win Finland on the road, and it will not be won if it is won. At best, it is a small accident.


    But in the summer when the England national team defeated the European Cup team and did not qualify, this game was related to the World Cup qualifying situation. At this time, the English fans exploded!


    The situation of this group in England is actually more optimistic. First of all, unlike the other half of the group, there are 6 teams. This group has only 5 teams.


    England, Finland, Greece, Albania, Germany!


    There is one place to advance directly to the World Cup finals, and the group will play second in the play-offs.


    At first glance, that is the situation where England and Germany are fighting for the first place.


    And England''s life is good, divided in the same group of Germany, is the German team that has fallen to the bottom in recent years.


    Of course, the German team also has its own background.


    You know, the two World Cups in the 1980s, the two runner-ups of the German team, won the top of the world under the leadership of Beckenbauer in 1990, and began to decline in 1994 and 1998, respectively fifth and seventh.


    The European Cup record, 92nd runner-up, 96-year champion, and 2000, this summer, went home hand in hand with England after finishing the group stage.


    This is the background that the German team is considered to have fallen to the bottom. From the record, the European Cup and the World Cup have indeed been declining all the way. In addition, Germany¡¯s own lineup replacement situation is unsatisfactory. Only in the past two decades has the worst German team¡¯s public opinion. label.


    Comparing England and Germany together, there is really no comparison. England can only say that the record is worse, it is impossible to be better than the worst Germany.


    Therefore, in such a group, Finland, which was listed as a leader, failed to win in England. In 8 games, every point must be contested, and the first game lost 2 points, which makes English fans seem to have foreseen England Ranked second to play in the playoffs, even the nightmare of failing to enter the World Cup in 1994 is about to repeat itself!


    Kevin Keegan was under great pressure and suddenly became the object of condemnation from all over the country.


    This is the case with the head coach. After you do it well, the farts are fragrant. If you do not do well, any decision will be amplified and become a handle for the outside world to attack you.


    Keegan made Adams frustrated and withdrew from the national team. He resolutely reused Hiller, who has been in poor condition for more than 30 years, the old-fashioned defense, etc. It seems that Keegan has no advantages all over the body!


    Aldridge spent a few happy days in Liverpool, and then returned to London. He wanted to continue training for the first team, but there were really few players left.


    Originally intended to go to the club to see the youth team training, because the youth team also ushered in new challenges in the new season.


    In the past few years, the Millwall youth team has fought south and north with Europe in the first team. The record is good. While Millwall itself has become the biggest focus, the youth team has also increased its reputation, and the outside world has begun to tap. The business value of the youth team.


    The French television broadcaster and UEFA have signed a new agreement to form the U19 European Youth League called "Next Generation" in the new season, inviting outstanding European youth teams to compete in order to obtain new benefits.


    Millwall is certainly one of the invited teams. Aldridge did not know that this event was born ten years earlier because of his butterfly!


    After further development, it became the "European Youth Champions League"!


    He only thinks this is a good thing, giving the youth team more opportunities to go out to know, and playing with teams of different football styles, which is harmless to the growth of young players. As for the youth team, it can make money for the club How much money, this is a fool''s dream, it is good to be able to pay the cost of a game to make up for the youth team''s expenses.


    Parked at the Leo training base, Aldridge was on his way to the youth team, but his cell phone rang. He picked it up to answer, and Andrew¡¯s voice was low and solemn.


    "where are you?"


    "Leo Training Base. Anything?"


    "Do you have time?"


    "Well, there is."


    "Twenty minutes later, I will be waiting for you outside and I will call you."


    "What''s the matter? So mysterious."


    "You will know later."


    Aldridge walked around the training base for more than ten minutes. Andrew''s phone call came again. He walked out of the training base. At the door, he saw Andrew''s car. He walked up and opened the door of the co-pilot. After sitting in, he accidentally discovered Someone in the back seat looked around and smiled and greeted each other.


    "Mr. President Thompson, hello."


    The FA''s chairman smiled and shook hands with Aldridge. Andrew drove the car and soon disappeared on the street.

 Chapter 541： Historic moment

    The FIFA competition day is not over yet. England has just drawn to Finland, and immediately returned to their own site to sweep the couch in Wembley to wait for the visit of the German tank.


    On Fleet Street, England fans slammed the national team and condemned Kevin Keegan, but before the life-and-death game, everyone could still paint the peace and create a united momentum.


    One of the procedures that is indispensable in Wembley is that the fans stood up and sang the songs that insulted Manchester United. Millwall was also quite hated. After all, it is a target. But Millwall has not many internationals in the England national team. Even if the fans want to scold, they can¡¯t seem to find the target and become a personal attack.


    Aldridge and Andrew stood side by side in Wembley''s box stand.


    Aldrich in his suit and leather suit crossed his hands under his lower abdomen and asked calmly, "Who do you think will win?"


    Andrew and his standing posture, hands on the lower abdomen are the same movement, said lightly: "At least don''t lose."


    Aldridge grinned silently.


    In his last life, he had a doubt in his heart.


    That is the group of fans around him. It seems that everyone has a very clear big premise when discussing England: England is strong.


    If the discussion is added to Germany, there are still many people who think that England and Germany are half a catty.


    This was confused by Aldridge''s last life.


    You can''t compare the strength of the two teams with style, tactics, and viewing in the football game. Even the Netherlands, known as the "uncrowned king", caused a sensation than the championship after winning the runner-up. This is enough. The altar is rare, but it is impossible to quote the strongest facts in the Netherlands.


    Competitive sports, performance is the hard standard of strength and weakness, others are all floating clouds.


    Regardless of the team''s honor, Germany''s comprehensive scores in previous competitions far exceed that of England!


    What kind of confidence does England have to compare with Germany?


    Now at best it can be on the same level as Spain.


    So Aldrich didn''t understand in his previous life. Yingde and Germany are not at the same level. Is it necessary to argue?


    Now he understands.


    It is the victory of the English League, the victory of star influence.


    Although Germany is also actively exploring overseas markets, due to the competitiveness of local leagues, the difference in the number of stars, etc., leading to the expansion of the Premier League in the world, the Bundesliga¡¯s market potential is very limited. People watch the game, of course The famous team, the famous star, the Bundesliga has been far removed from the Premier League, Serie A and La Liga at this point.


    However, the overseas influence of the Premier League is actually the victory of foreign aid. Local players who can make it out of the game have declined year by year.


    A considerable number of fans transplanted the powerful sense of the Premier League to the England national team, including love and support.


    Today England faced Germany at Wembley, Aldridge appeared here unexpectedly, and the live camera frequently turned the picture to him, with a strong hint.


    Aldrich had close talks with the FA''s chairman and reached some agreements.


    The FA is under pressure and the issue of firing Keegan is on the table.


    There is a voice inside to hire Lazio coach Eriksson.


    The FA''s chairman dare not break the tradition easily.


    Dismissing Keegan may be popular and put all the blame on Keegan.


    But if you immediately hire a foreign coach, the FA will immediately be on the cusp.


    This kind of igniting thing, the FA chairman is not very willing to do, especially when the local coach has a backup candidate, and the support of local fans has not yet been tested.


    The mess of the England national team, other local coaches who are not prestigious enough are not too dared to take it. The qualifiers have already started, and the division is not good. Now? The timing is not good.


    The FA is worried, in case the England national team can''t enter the World Cup, this is simply a disaster!


    So they need a better scapegoat.


    A person who can at least provoke the anger of the people when the worst situation arises.


    Aldridge is a perfect candidate.


    Everyone hopes that everyone wants him to do this job, then let him come.


    If Aldridge fails, the FA has at least countless excuses to hire foreign coaches, and the resistance is very small.


    The best coach in our homeland can not lead the England national team to achieve glory, um, that had to invite the monk outside to read the sutra.


    Aldridge wants to take over the national team because he has ambitions.


    But he will not be stunned by ambition.


    He also gave the FA a deadline.


    Before the end of the year.


    Don''t wait for Keegan to really bring the national team to him when he can''t qualify.


    In that case, the FA can really give him longer, so the goal is the European Cup in 2004.


    Sorry, the cycle is too long, but I''m not interested.


    As a result, Aldridge and Thompson reached an agreement, before the end of the year, as long as Keegan led the team to have any further accidents, Aldridge immediately took over the England national team.


    As for treatment, it is second.


    What is unexpected?


    When England lost two points in the first game, as long as England lost another point, this is an accident and will make the qualifying situation worse.


    So today this England and Germany match, England must win!


    Can''t accept a tie at home!


    The media and fans are more optimistic.


    This German is not strong, not strong, not strong!


    We just won them three months ago, and we are still in China!


    The 34-year-old invincible shame record has been ended!


    Today, England has the advantage of playing at home, do a good job, win Germany, and enter the World Cup still Pingchuan!


    After 90 minutes, Wembley was silent, and then, a conflict broke out on the sidelines, and radical fans insulted Beckham on the sidelines.


    During this period, Beckham had a very bad relationship with English fans.


    In addition to the aftermath of the 98 World Cup, in the summer European Championship, Beckham was exposed to the **** of the fans, and he also escaped the punishment, many fans in England have great resentment against Beckham, in addition to His Manchester United background is also partly because of his style of playing.


    The older generation of English fans rarely adore players with technical skills. In their eyes, they belong to European players. The English players should be hard-blooded, tough, and fearless like a matador on the court. Dressed up brightly and become a headline player of entertainment, let them look awkward, therefore, in their eyes, the "European" English international is often underwhelmed by saliva, but like old Robson, Adams Even if he loses the ball, the captain of the Jagged will win applause.


    The score on the scoreboard is 0:1.


    International practice, the home team is ahead.


    The fall of Wembley and the Germans left with arrogance, just as they took the European Cup here four years ago.


    In three months, the two teams met twice, reaching out and counting them, England seemed to be losing.


    The European Championship group stage defeated Germany 1-0, but England failed to qualify for the group.


    Now in the World Cup qualifiers, after losing in England, Mo said that the group went to play-off second, and the possibility of not being able to enter the World Cup suddenly increased!


    Aldridge and Andrew left Wembley in a booby silently.


    After the game, Kevin Keegan waited for the FA to issue a notice of layoff, and he resigned on his own initiative.


    In an interview, Keegan admitted that his ability is limited, not enough to control and lead the national team to achieve glory.


    Despite the negative emotions caused by his poor record, England football and Fleet Street suddenly sympathized with Kevin Keegan.


    Time goes back to 96 years.


    Imagine that Kevin Keegan''s scenery was infinite at that time, leading Newcastle United to leave Manchester United 12 points in the league. People are looking forward to Newcastle United''s King Keegan defeating Manchester United and let Hollywood on the Tyne shine across England. As a result, Kee Gang collapsed in the psychological battle with Ferguson. Even if there was the factor of Millwall sniping Newcastle United in the end, people looked back four years later and suddenly found that Keegan¡¯s coaching career may have the biggest influence. It is the Lord Ferguson of the Red Devils.


    If Keegan could defeat Ferguson''s psychological battle at the time, maybe he could start another brilliant career at Newcastle United.


    However, the world has no if.


    This hatred is still going on. In the future, Keegan will take over Manchester City, why not want to hit Manchester United and Ferguson to the greatest extent? As for the strength contrast of using Manchester City to play Manchester United, that is the second. After all, the opposition of hatred is more special.


    At the end of the FIFA game day, the major internationals return to the team, the club''s league and European war will once again become the focus of discussion.


    England is a special case, because without the national team coach, this can not be ignored.


    One day later, three o''clock in the afternoon.


    The press hall of the FA Football Office Building is full of people.


    The FA notified the Fleet Street in advance, and held a press conference at 3 pm, with only one theme: to announce the new England national team coach!


    Not only the big newspapers on Fleet Street, but journalists from many European countries in England came to hear them.


    This time the England national team changed hands more suddenly.


    After defeating the European Cup in the summer, the FA firmly expressed support for Kevin Keegan.


    As a result, in just ten days, Ping Finland lost to Germany, and the FA immediately started the coaching process.


    This made the media feel caught off guard. Although the media expected the FA to change coaching after losing to Germany, it was only speculation that it wasn¡¯t until Kevin Keegan resigned that this allowed the outside world, especially the media, to focus on their work. On this project.


    Who is the one?


    Gibson, the Football Director of the FA, presided over the press conference. More than 50 media were present at the scene. Gibson sat calmly on the stage and briefly opened the speech. Thank you for your presence. On behalf of the FA, I express my gratitude to Keegan and accept his resignation. And wish him good luck.


    Then, the highlight came.


    Gibson spoke slowly: "We are honoured to have coach Audridge Hall as the coach of the England national team. He has just signed a 20-month contract with us. The FA firmly believes that the national team is in Huo. Under Mr. Er¡¯s leadership, he will surely be able to get out of the current predicament, successfully enter the 2002 World Cup, and achieve satisfactory results in the World Cup."


    Wow!


    There was an uproar at the scene, with some uproar.


    The reporters whispered and talked.


    Aldridge took over the position of coach of the national team?


    What about Millwall?


    Will this be a sensational news of a chain reaction! ?


    At this time, Aldridge in a suit and leather jacket walked into the scene with a smile and his head high, shook hands with Gibson on the stage, and then turned to face all the media reporters.


    Uh...


    The scene seemed to be attacked by countless flashes. Aldrich, a character accustomed to spotlights, narrowed his eyes slightly to hide the flash.


    When the picture was taken, the scene suddenly applauded.


    All the reporters and the staff of the FA applauded Aldridge.


    This applause is special.


    Because this is a historic moment.


    The youngest national team coach in history, in England, in this minute, this second, was born!


    Aldridge sat down with a smile on his face, and said softly: "Thank you for the invitation from the FA. This makes me feel honored and honored. I will try my best to do the job. Now, do you have any questions? "


    Wow--


    All the reporters from the audience, all of them, raised their hands for the first time, and they were excited!

 Chapter 542： Prepare shame cloth

    This is a commemorative day. Audric is in charge of the three lions. The news will be on the world news list later this day!


    There is no doubt that this is the day of Aldridge.


    His splendid record led by the Millwall Club has made him the most popular candidate for the England national team coach.


    However, when this moment of "all hope" came true, the accompanying questions also followed one after another.


    "Mr. Hall, you have now reached an agreement with the FA to formally become the coach of the England national team. What about Millwall? Who will be the coach? Will Klinsmann take over?"


    This issue is of greatest concern to reporters from the audience.


    If Millwall coach also changes, this news is as sensational as putting an atomic bomb in UEFA.


    Perhaps, it is also a situation of many powerful and direct competitors of Millwall.


    With a confident smile on his face, Aldridge replied in an orderly way: "After consultation with the FA, I took the position of coach of the national team as the coach of the national team, the Millwall Club, and I am still the coach."


    The reporters in the audience looked at each other and new problems appeared.


    "You are coaching Millwall and the England national team at the same time. How do you reconcile your work? There are inevitably conflicts and conflicts of interest."


    Aldrich nodded and smiled: "Yes, there are indeed contradictions that cannot be ignored, such as working time arrangements, energy input, etc., but I am willing to meet such challenges. I think I have a certain advantage. The English players Most of them play in the local leagues. I have been tracking my opponents in Millwall for the past few years. During the same period, I have been well aware of the vast majority of England¡¯s international level, the characteristics of playing, their advantages, and how to limit them. On this basis, my work has a very good environment for development. As for the interests, I personally think that this is not a problem. The national team and the club are always completely different working environments, working methods, and goals. Its particularity, I accept the job of the national team, just want to lead the England national team to achieve good results. In addition, I have nothing to ask for, and I can also use my personality guarantee to serve as the national team coach. At this time, all players will be treated equally."


    In fact, the so-called interest collision, the most worrying situation outside the world is that Aldridge may suppress dissidents.


    Imagine if Beckham was not an England international, how much would he lose in popularity? By the way, how much will Manchester United''s business influence decline?


    This has a tangled interest.


    Aldrich had just taken office, and the media had to give face, and everyone used personal guarantees.


    "What about the coaching staff?"


    "I''m just a person right now. I will submit the list of coaching staff to the FA in the shortest time. At this point, I have reached a consensus with Mr. Chairman, and I can take the lead."


    "What is the goal of the national team? Your contract is 20 months, which means that you will resign after the World Cup. In the 2002 World Cup, what is the minimum record requirement that the FA gives you? Top 8? Top 4?"


    "Hehehe, it¡¯s too early to talk about this. We are still playing in the qualifiers. I think if I can¡¯t lead England into the World Cup, I will be fired immediately. So, the World Cup, I will talk about it after a year and a half. I hope I can still sit in the position of the national team coach to answer your question."


    Aldridge took office today, neither high-profile publicity will lead England to glory, nor appear nervous. His style has won the praise of the media. It seems that he is really like a football gentleman. He is not arrogant and can make You feel his self-confidence, but you can''t relate that to arrogance.


    There are many problems facing Aldridge. The reporters are also full of expectations for the next game in England. In particular, once the emperor and the courtier, after the Three Lions ushered in the Aldrich era, who will leave and who Will stay again, what are the new faces in the team.


    As for the roster, Aldridge responded cautiously without any guarantee. He will announce the new England national team roster before the next national team match day. Until then, he will not disclose any name.


    At the end of the press conference, Aldridge took a group photo with many officials, presidents, CEOs and other officials of the FA.


    The first thing after taking office as coach of the national team, Aldridge met England U21 coach, former head of Leeds United, Wilkinson in his own office in the FA''s office building.


    Peter Taylor has just stepped down, and the U21 national team has also ushered in a new era. Wilkinson and Aldridge had played in the 95-96 season. The two ignored each other at the time because of the racial discrimination that broke out on Elland Road.


    The office is very empty, the glass cabinet is filled with the information of the England national team, and Aldridge is looking at the player''s information while waiting for Wilkinson.


    As the coach of the national team, in fact, in addition to training and leading the game, there are many additional powers. The big ones can intervene to manage the entire league¡¯s youth training system. The small ones also have to entertain many public relations receptions. Although they don¡¯t have the right to make decisions, they have the right to recommend. There is still the right to participate.


    For other coaches who work for the national team coach alone, more appearances and more participation in the management of affairs in the circle can both improve their prestige and maintain their reputation.


    Aldridge gave up a lot in the negotiation with the FA. This is what the FA is happy to see. At least, a peaceful coach is always more reassuring than the coach who is in the limelight.


    Aldrich¡¯s only power is to intervene in the U21 national team.


    He doesn''t want to seize power, but he hopes his work can be carried out better. The management of the national team''s low-level echelon is very important.


    Four years later, Wilkinson and Aldridge met again, this time not on the sidelines, but in the office of the national team coach, the owner is Aldridge.


    The two shook hands, greeted each other, and sat down with a smile on the meeting couch.


    From a certain point of view, Aldridge is half of Wilkinson''s superior. Although there is no affiliation, if Aldridge is not satisfied with the efficiency of the U21 national team, the situation of Wilkinson will be very embarrassing.


    "How does it feel now? Aldridge."


    Wilkinson was also considered to be an unprecedented figure. He used to be unhappy with Aldridge when he played against him. Four years later, everything went away with the wind, and it seemed that he could not make it.


    In addition, there is really no hatred between the two. At some point, they stand in opposition, but they are not the protagonists of the center of the vortex.


    Aldridge smiled slightly and shook his head: "There is a lot of pressure."


    "Of course there is a lot of pressure, otherwise anyone can do the job."


    "Oh, you''re right. I think I''m the same type of coach as you, and they both focus on youth training, right?"


    Wilkinson sighed, he did focus on youth training at Leeds United, but unfortunately his successors have not been able to carry forward, until O''Reilly''s generation, only some improvement, but originally The youth training system that can match Manchester United is now far behind.


    "Talk about work, you have to take care of the national team and the club, the time must be very tight."


    "Well, that¡¯s right, I like this. Let¡¯s go straight to the topic. Your focus is to develop talent for the national team. My focus is to lead the national team to achieve the desired record. There is an intuitive relationship between us because I use the Players, you are promoted and trained. I have a few players here. I hope that in the next time, the U21 national team can focus on training and training them, so that they will become the backbone of the national team in the future."


    Wilkinson stared straight at Aldridge.


    I have to say that it was essentially Aldridge intervening in his work, but this made him comfortable.


    Wilkinson became the hero behind Aldridge''s mouth!


    He promoted and cultivated talents to the national team!


    "If you have optimistic local players, you should tell me directly, everyone knows that you look at the player''s vision, and dig out the excellent young players as soon as possible, which is harmless."


    "Well, this is the list, look at it."


    Wilkinson took a look at the list from Aldridge.


    Carrick, Parker, Lescott, Hargreaves, Crouch.


    Wilkinson smiled unexpectedly.


    There are four players with a Millwall background. Even if Parker leaves, he will still be from Millwall.


    As for Hargreaves, it is Bayern Munich''s youth player.


    Wilkinson smiled bitterly: "Does this player Crouch have confidence in him?"


    Crouch was actually the main force of the low-level national team, but in the World Youth Championship last year, England lost all three games and scored 0 goals. Crouch''s performance as the main striker was terrible.


    Aldridge smiled and said: "He is still very young, and failure is a valuable experience for young people. Well, to be honest, looking at Europe, Crouch''s talent and the height that can be reached in the future, I don''t think it is particularly worth looking forward to, but In the native England, he has the ability to become one of the national team forward candidates in the future."


    Wilkinson said suddenly: "But your contract with the FA is only 20 months. During this period, Crouch..."


    Wilkinson will not need to say the rest, everyone knows it well.


    Aldridge said frankly: "Actually players like Carrick and Parker will certainly not become the main force of the national team in 20 months, but since I am now the national team coach, I hope to lay a good foundation for the future of England. Whether I am still in the future or not, this is about the future of the England national team."


    These words made Wilkinson awe-inspiring, Aldridge did not change his face, but actually had his own calculations in mind.


    He can''t guarantee whether he will succeed or fail in these 20 months. Maybe he will be fired after playing the next two qualifiers.


    However, he has to leave a way for himself, or a little face.


    During his tenure, he focused on cultivating and promoting some future internationals. When someone was talked about in the future, he would be a contributing coach anyway!


    Wilkinson agreed to Aldridge''s request. In the future, the U21 national team will focus on training these players. The two get up and shake hands, and then Aldridge personally sends Wilkinson out of the door.


    The first thing to take office, first find yourself a "shame cloth" that may be used, this work is done.


    Aldridge will do another very important job next.


    Determine the national team roster.


    The World Cup big list is 23 people, but the number of people in the qualifier list usually fluctuates, basically about 30 people.


    Aldridge didn''t want to make the national team''s lineup change too much. Stability is the top priority. Players should not be worried, worrying about their main position, or whether they can make it into the roster.


    Only by letting the players calm down and knowing the trust and support of the coach to him, can the players be determined to serve their lives and their attention will not be distracted.


    The final list will definitely not be determined in the first place, but the big frame certainly does not have much suspense.


    Once the emperor and the courtier, England is not a hundred wastes, some major players can count with their eyes closed.

 Chapter 543： Mix with you!

    The England national team changed coaches, the famous Audridge took office, and the news media on Fleet Street and even the entire UEFA are busy.


    There are joys and worries.


    The media likes liveliness and focus.


    But the most intuitive thing is the England internationals.


    Who will leave the national team with the burden?


    Who can usher in spring again?


    Aldridge, who just took office, also needs to call the determined national team for the first time, not to win their support, but to inform their team status, so that they have a heart and eat a peace of mind.


    Aldridge looked through the list.


    The first is the goalkeeper position.


    On the strength and experience of the competition, Seaman is still the first choice for the country.


    Aldridge started contacting the opponent according to the phone number left on the national team player profile.


    He has nothing to talk with Seaman. The content is to tell the opponent the next time the national team will train, and tell the opponent to keep in good condition. In the future, the national team will rely on the opponent Yunyun, in fact, tell the opponent: you are the main force of my national team. !


    Seaman walked through the wind and waves, without a flattering response, and naturally finished the phone conversation with Audridge.


    The goalkeeper needs three people, and the other two have a substitute.


    In the summer of the European Cup England''s No. 2 and No. 3 goalkeepers, Martin of Leeds United, and now Wright of Arsenal, Aldridge intends to give up.


    There is nothing to change the position of the goalkeeper, after all, the probability is very low.


    Aldridge called James and Robinson directly, informing them that the former is a substitute and the latter is the No. 3 alternative goalkeeper and will compete to succeed Seaman in the future.


    The two were flattered. As one of Liverpool''s hot brothers, James was condemned by Audridge many times in public opinion. Of course, no named surname is just a criticism of the evil spirit.


    Originally, James thought that Aldridge took office, and he had no hope of entering the national team.


    Robinson was grateful for Zaid. Aldridge didn''t think about it. He switched to Leeds United and is still recruited to the national team. Even though the goalkeeper is often invisible, it is better than even the chance.


    The main frame of the defender made Aldridge have a headache for a while, and it would not be too difficult to have a standing candidate.


    He first called his captain Southgate.


    "Hi, Gareth."


    "Boy, congratulations, you should have been the head coach of the national team. England has no more suitable and better coach than you."


    "You don''t get a bonus for flattering."


    "Of course not to compliment you, I am telling the truth."


    "Okay, without further ado, I still have a lot of calls to make. Adams left the national team. Keon''s age also made me plan to abandon him. In the future, you will be an indispensable figure on the guard line."


    "No problem, boss, I should be too excited to fall asleep today."


    "One more thing, next time I train, I will announce that you are the captain of the England national team, is there a problem?"


    "Uh, maybe people outside don''t think I should be captain."


    "I am asking you now, your thoughts, do you have the confidence to be the captain, I know that the situation in the national team is more complicated, Liverpool Department, Manchester Contact and so on."


    "Me, no problem! Absolutely no problem!"


    "Okay, this is the momentum, it should be this attitude, Gareth, bye."


    "Thank you, boss, bye."


    Aldridge smiled after hanging up.


    He knew that his decision to appoint Southgate as captain would be under a lot of pressure to use power for personal gains, favoritism and the like.


    He doesn''t care. From a sports perspective, the Southgate Club''s honor and field achievements are enough to convince others.


    In these years, Milwaukee went to the South to fight for the North. The experience of the top field has accumulated. Southgate is better and more stable than it was in history. Adams has just left. The national team needs a leader, a leader on the field.


    In the position of central defender, who can compete for strength, Aldridge has only finalized Sol Campbell and Rio Ferdinand. Brown and Carragher are backup candidates. Brown is a strength consideration, but Carragher is because he is still in Liverpool. Not used correctly in the centre-back position, and Terry, a youth player like Millwall''s rival Chelsea, did not want to recruit him. At this point he can put aside the club''s position, but if he is in the next big list With Terry recruited, this decision will surely cause a lot of controversy.


    Terry has added up to 20 Premier League appearances in the past four years! Last season, he was also loaned to the Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, and only took six appearances.


    He is a dragon or a worm, no one knows.


    If he can have a stable performance in the next year, Aldridge is willing to give him a chance, provided the coach of the national team is still Aldridge.


    The full-back position is a big problem.


    There are many candidates for the right back. Gary Neville, Mills, and Phil Neville are all acceptable. Audridge first called Gary Neville to determine its main position. As for the summer criminal Phil Neville , Aldridge also ensured its national team status, but did not promise to start the main team, Mills side, Aldridge clearly told the other party that it must stably get the main position in Leeds United, so as to ensure that there is a role in the national team .


    The left-back who gave Aldridge a headache, at this time, the candidates for this position are very scarce.


    He hesitated for a long time, and finally picked up the phone to call Ashley Cole.


    Although Ashley Cole is the main regular of the low-level national team, he hasn''t had a chance to play in the national team''s official game, and there are no substitutes.


    He played for the Millwall first team for two years. He played very few games in the first year. In the second year, last season, he played with a total of 21 appearances in the Cup. He performed well, even if he has played against AC Milan. The experience of the Champions League, but the experience of the competition is still very pitiful.


    Aldrich recruited him and focused on establishing his position, he must withstand great pressure and take risks.


    "Hello, who?"


    "Ashley, it''s me."


    "Ah, ah, boss! Why do you call me now? I know! I know! Boss, are you telling me that I will be on the national team''s 18-man roster, right?"


    Aldridge held his phone with a weird expression.


    The kid was over excited.


    Moreover, listening to his words, it seems very satisfied with being able to play the bench.


    Aldridge was silent for a long time, and Ashley Cole became very upset after being excited.


    "Boss? Boss? You talk! Talk! Am I screwed up?"


    "Ashley, calm down first."


    "Oh, oh, I calmed down."


    "I will recruit you for the next national team training, and let you play in the next national team game. The future of your national team depends on your performance in the next game. If you perform well, I can withstand the pressure. Let you always be the main full-back, you are not performing well, I can only give the opportunity to Bridge, so all you have to do now is to train more seriously, improve yourself harder, meet your own moment, grasp Opportunity."


    Suddenly there was no voice on the phone, and Aldridge waited a long time for no response.


    "Hello? Hello? Should your kid fall asleep?"


    "Ah! Boss! Thank you, thank you, thank you, me, I don''t know what to say, rest assured, I will desperately, I will desperately!"


    "F! The defender didn''t just work hard. You can calm me down. Exciting is not good."


    "Well, I remember!"


    Aldridge hung up and shook his head, and then called Bridge. In fact, the left guard was scarce. Otherwise, if he didn''t choose Bridge, he couldn''t find a better candidate.


    There are many people available in the England national team midfield, but it still makes Aldridge feel tricky.


    It is said that there are many midfield players, but the first type of player in demand is scarce.


    Pure defensive midfielder, or defensive midfielder!


    Both Germans are not purely defensive midfielders.


    Having both offensive and defensive sounds wonderful, but in a constantly changing game, when such players'' offensive attributes come into play, they are suddenly counterattacked in a short time. Can such players play the most efficient defensive role? People are not in position, this is the most critical place.


    They can attack and defend, but it takes time to attack, and it takes time to return.


    Therefore, Aldridge has always used a pure defensive midfielder in Millwall, and he does not really expect one person to play the role of two players. There are such compound players, but the simple effect is difficult to play. To the extreme.


    Manchester United''s Bart is a useful defensive midfielder. But Bart was crushed by Keane at Manchester United and could not maintain his state. In recent years, he has also been a little bit lame and stopped progressing. The strength can no longer be expected. How much can it improve.


    Because of this, he is anxious to hope that U21 will focus on cultivating Hargreaves.


    Seven or eight years later, Hargreaves is a glass man, but in the next few years, Hargreaves has grown very fast, and he can establish a main position in Bayern Munich, and even be selected as one of the best midfielders in Europe.


    Aldridge put aside his troubles, first called Beckham, Scholes, Gerrard, Lampard, four others, like Barry, Bart and others who are still playing defenders, he will have to observe for a while And, like Newcastle United''s Dyer, he directly chose to deprecate.


    In the end, he hesitated for a moment and called Hargreaves.


    Hadridges phone number, Aldridge also took a bit of trouble, through the FA to contact Bayern Munich club to get it.


    There are many choices for Hargreaves'' national team, Germany, Canada, England, all.


    When Aldridge called him, Hargreaves'' blank voice came from the phone.


    "Hello, which one is it?"


    "Hagreaves, hello, this is Aldrich Hall..."


    "Ah? Are you the head coach of Millwall Club? Really fake? This joke is too much!"


    He probably thought someone impersonated Aldridge to tease him.


    The transfer window is closed, what is the manager of Millwall looking for him!


    It took a long time for Aldridge to convince Hargreaves to believe his identity. At the same time, the other party had just learned Aldridge''s new identity.


    England national team coach!


    "Owen, I called you as the coach of the England national team. I hope you can play for the England national team. The U21 national team will soon send you an invitation. You have also entered the Bayern Munich first team this season. When the time is right, I will give you the opportunity to perform on the national team. As long as you work hard, in the future you will be a very important player for me."


    Aldridge''s own national team may not be able to survive, but talking to the players, of course, need to write some empty checks.


    Hargreaves was shocked for a long time, and finally, he agreed without hesitation.


    He doesn¡¯t have German ancestry, but he has enough time to live in Germany, so he can be qualified to choose the German national team, but now that Aldridge, who is famous in Europe, has sent out invitations, he made it if he didn¡¯t want to. Decided.


    Young handsome, mix with you!

 Chapter 544： Abandon 442

    Aldridge felt sorry for himself and felt that he had not caught up with a good era, an era in which England had more outstanding strikers.


    But after thinking about it carefully, he was relieved again.


    It seems that England''s strike line has always been like this bird.


    In the process of determining the status of the striker''s national team, Aldridge only called Irving and Black Panther Husky.


    Irving must use it, Husky reluctantly, he is not a very productive shooter.


    The rest, such as Manchester United¡¯s Cole, Sunderland¡¯s Phillips, the former Golden Boy Fowler, and Aldridge all chose to wait and see without calling them.


    After being busy with this, Aldridge was finally able to take a breath and stretch out to look at the time. It was already 6:30 in the evening.


    When he drove away from the FA''s office building, there were still a crowd of reporters waiting outside, wanting to interview Aldridge, but Aldridge drove straight away without even showing his face.


    When returning home, Yiwen fell asleep with a pillow on the sofa. There were still warm meals on the table in the dining room. Aldridge had something to do at night, so he ate dinner lightly in the dining room.


    "Don''t say a word when you come back? Huh? Mr. coach of the England national team."


    Aldridge was half eaten, and Ewen looked at him with a smile on the wall.


    "Look at you falling asleep, don''t want to disturb you, I''ll go out later."


    "Tell me about today''s experience."


    Ewen sat down opposite Aldridge, holding his chin, bright eyes full of curiosity and joy.


    Aldrich told her what she had done in the afternoon, with some emotions that she pretended to be.


    "I really don''t know why they are so crazy, maybe I will blame and resign next month."


    "Humph, it''s a heartfelt, just enjoy it, what do you do at night?"


    "To finalize the matter of the coaching staff of the national team, alas, it may be necessary to talk about money. I don''t want to talk to people around me on this topic. It seems to be fair and common."


    "Ah, I don''t know if it is good or bad. This is the first day. You are so busy, can you bear it?"


    Looking at Yiwen''s concerned expression, Aldridge shook his head and said, "Okay, compared with previous years, I think it''s almost the same."


    Ewen thought for a while and roughly understood Aldridge''s words.


    In the past, Aldridge''s work energy was in the club. Now the club is organized. The work is a lot easier than before. Now he joins the national team. Compared with the previous work, the workload is almost the same.


    "Since you are going to talk about business, try not to drink and drive carefully."


    Aldridge wiped his mouth and kissed Ewen, then left the house and drove to the club building.


    At the meeting place of their coach beer night, the Millwall coaching staff members are here, some are playing pool, some are watching TV, and some are chatting with wine glasses.


    After the arrival of Aldridge, Jenson put down his glass and applauded, laughing. "Look at who this is? The England national team coach, welcome."


    Aldrich waved his hand and sat down on the ring sofa. He said to everyone: "It''s a good thing to come to you today. Come and sit down and talk."


    Klinsmann, Jenson, Babu, Craig, Boas, and others probably guessed what it was, and they sat down around Aldridge one after another, their expressions becoming serious.


    "As you can see, I am now the coach of the England national team, but by my own, it is certainly impossible to achieve something. I need you to help, so I formally invite you to hope that you can join the England national team Coaching team. This is the treatment I planned after negotiating with the FA. The treatment is lower because Millwall will not dismiss you and work part-time. The salary I can help you at most is so much."


    Aldridge put a contract on the table as soon as his words fell.


    Babu picked it up and looked at it, the salary was lower, and he couldn¡¯t see the corresponding treatment that a national team coach should have. However, as Aldridge said, part-time, can¡¯t serve wholeheartedly, then the remuneration is discounted and reasonable. .


    In fact, how much money they make is not what they care about most now. Like Klinsmann and Jenson, they have been favored by many clubs. They want to dig them up to coach clubs and change from assistant coaches to head coaches. The salary must be Significantly increased.


    In addition to the handy and emotional factors of working in Millwall, they have indeed shaken. Now, Aldridge has given them a new opportunity and a new platform.


    The national team, Aldridge is still the protagonist, but as assistants, once the national team has achieved good results, their personal resume will also leave a strong stroke.


    Boas stared left and right, he actually wanted to agree to it, but he saw that other colleagues hadn¡¯t made a statement, but he couldn¡¯t betrayed so quickly. After all, starting from the attributes of Audridge¡¯s boss, they worked part-time. , Class positions should be consistent.


    Klinsmann smiled with amusement and asked: "Are you really confident that you can continue to work for the England national team for a long time?"


    According to the current situation of the England national team, it''s a bit irresistible.


    Faced with these old friends fighting side by side, Aldridge said frankly: "I have confidence, and I may not be able to do well. It is another matter."


    "The current England national team, IMHO, can''t squeeze into the top five in overall strength in Europe. Even if you lead the team out of the qualifiers and enter the World Cup, England''s homeland has always had high expectations for the team. I think even if you Leading the team to the quarterfinals, the final result may not be ideal."


    Aldridge nodded and said: "So let''s say, if England is strong and powerful, then it will not be my turn to take over. As for the World Cup, I haven''t thought of it that far. I will say it after the qualifier."


    Klinsmann smiled and extended his hand to him, palms up, Aldridge smiled, slapped on the face, snapped.


    What do you mean?


    Just hit it in one shot!


    Done!


    The other coaches also smiled and gave a high-five with Aldridge.


    The coaching staff, Aldridge directly used Millwall, his own people, he was relieved to use, and at the same time there was no such stage of assignment as familiar with the assignment. They had worked in England for many years and knew all about English players.


    To say that the job has changed the most, of course, Boas, he has to collect opponent intelligence for the national team, inspect opponent players, the overall situation of the opponent national team, etc., which are very different from his past work.


    Another aspect is the medical team. The English national team has a medical department. At this point, Aldridge only proposed the cooperation of the Millwall medical team and the English national team medical team.


    Originally the FA disagreed.


    Because this may involve the British foot injury, but considering that Aldridge, the manager of Millwall, has taken office, the player''s health information cannot be concealed from him, and he simply agreed with Aldridge''s proposal.


    Everyone worked together to do a fight, and the next topic will directly focus on the England national team.


    "Did you think about the general roster?"


    Jenson opened the door and asked.


    Aldridge nodded and said: "I think about it, but I am not sure about a player. If I can use him well, I think the new national team''s main force will be directly determined."


    "Who?"


    "McManaman."


    "He, the European Cup is terrible."


    Jenson frowned.


    The transfer to Real Madrid''s McManaman can play the main role in Real Madrid, and the performance is enough to enter the national team, but Keegan used McManaman in the summer, the effect is very unsatisfactory, only giving him a chance to score a ball, then directly abandoned.


    "Not to mention him first, the formation and tactical design of the England national team, do you have any ideas? Who is the core?"


    Klinsmann''s question made everyone nod.


    How to use the players and how to use them well is an important prerequisite for being in the tactical system.


    Aldridge showed a thoughtful expression, and Jenson bluntly said: "If you still play 442, I don''t think it will be possible for this team to undergo qualitative changes in the short term."


    442 is the tactical formation that England is proud of, because it is too balanced, and it can be converted flexibly to give rise to many changes. However, except for the year when the home country won the World Cup, it has continued to be used continuously as a holy thing. 442 does not bring glory to England.


    There are differences in coaching abilities. They may be coaches in the England national team. Even if the ability is poor, there is a limit. If they are not used well, they can¡¯t play a particularly strong strength. The factors inside are complex. The undeniable point is: Aldridge recognizes himself If he continues to use 442, it will definitely not be as good as those famous coaches in the past or the original history, so how can he have the confidence to build a national team that can achieve success?


    "442 is definitely not good. In theory, the original intention of tactical design is balanced, but the individual ability of players will lead to a situation that is not balanced in actual combat."


    Aldridge also denied 442 first.


    Not to mention that he does not have a pure defense in his hand, which can absolutely guarantee the top midfielder of defense. Just talking about the offense, the old-fashioned side pass, the middle one high and two fast forwards, this play is obviously behind, and England is still scarce. The top player of the dribbling type can''t move the ball, but can only pass the ball, which lacks threat from the tactical concept.


    "How about 433? Millwall''s 433 has proved successful."


    Boas gave his opinion, but everyone shook his head unanimously without any hesitation.


    Millwall¡¯s 433, the most intuitive offensive threat is two wingers cutting inwards, and at the same time having the dexterity to get rid of the one-on-one advantage. I¡¯m sorry, England does not have such a modern wing. Even if there are players with the ability, but not the game .


    To put it bluntly, the national team does not train players, the club is training, the national team can only use ready-made team.


    Aldridge could not let Ronaldinho have the England national team, nor could Gerrard and Lampard become Pirlo.


    "I have a tactical idea to build a 4321 formation in the England national team, you see how."


    Aldridge opened his mouth, and the others listened with a solemn expression, waiting for the following.


    Aldridge explained his tactical ideas to the coaching staff.


    4321.


    There is nothing special about the four backs. They only adjust the defensive strategy of the double centre backs according to their opponents.


    The three midfielders are all midfielders!


    In the middle is a defensive midfielder with a midfield player who can attack and defend.


    The two front waists need to have the ability to take the ball, organize, and score in front of the goal.


    The single arrow is used to respond to positional warfare and counterattack.


    This tactical idea is not unfamiliar to Millwall''s coaching staff. They have used it before, but they have many good players, good cards, and many choices. They have only been used in specific games.


    Looking at Europe, this tactical idea is not new. The formation is a Christmas tree, Juventus, Real Madrid, and other strong teams have used it before.


    Such a lineup of troops, at least, strengthened the defense, so that the defense is guaranteed, how to attack the power, said, it is impossible to say, to be specific for an experimental player, the most suitable chess piece is placed in the most suitable position, To know how powerful it is.


    Klinsmann raised his hand and wondered: "Are you going to abandon Beckham, England''s most famous star? There is no place for him in this formation."


    Aldridge rightfully replied: "Why not? His right back is his position. If I don''t expect him to frequently enter the penalty area to form an offensive covert score point, I don''t think I need to put him in the position of the full-back. Above, especially, I don¡¯t advocate frequent side passes as the main offensive."


    Klinsmann asked in return: "Will he agree?"


    Aldridge shrugged: "If he firmly opposes, then I will find the right person to replace, but I think, with his professional qualities, there should be no problem."

 Chapter 545： "War" with women

    For Aldridge as the England national team coach, the reaction of the Premier League coaches varies, but the voices of supporters are mostly.


    Ferguson''s response in an interview was ambiguous, confusing Fleet Street.


    "The FA made a ridiculous and wise decision."


    Wise, probably refers to Aldridge''s coaching ability is recognized as outstanding among England''s local coaches, he took office, and everyone expected.


    Ridiculous, the coach of the dignified England national team actually played part-time.


    Fleet Street interprets Ferguson''s remarks and believes that the old Scottish man is indeed not good at making a clearer statement on this.


    The dilemma!


    Aldridge will be distracted by the national team, which is good news for Manchester United, Ferguson should raise his hands in favor.


    The bad is bad, Manchester United have a lot of England internationals, and a lot of main force.


    As a result, Ferguson was worried again.


    In case, Aldridge uses Beckham, Scholes, Neville and other players as animals. FIFA matches the largest amount of Manchester United players...


    This kind of malicious conjecture cannot be proclaimed, and it will appear to be a villain.


    Affected by the FIFA virus, the Millwall Premier League suffered three consecutive draws, and the London Derby failed to win Tottenham.


    Aldridge drove away from the Lion King Stadium after the game and rushed to a date.


    Melanie came to London with her two sons and told him that the person who initiated the dinner invitation was Mrs. Beckham Victoria.


    On the way to the restaurant by car, Aldridge was thinking about something.


    Today''s game failed to win, the fatigue that the players showed from the return of the national team is obvious, and the state is not so bad, but he commanded the game on the sidelines and always felt that the team was missing something.


    The trajectory of the whole game was: Millwall played well, and unfortunately got a draw.


    There is nothing to care about in the standings. The biggest rival Manchester United in the fifth round of the league has 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, only one point ahead of Millwall. At this time, it is meaningless to consider the standings. Audric is more focused on what the team itself shows. Quality.


    He arrived as expected, walked into the dining room and came to the table, saw his two sons sitting with Beckham''s eldest son, the three little guys looked quite harmonious, and Aldridge bent down to kiss his son''s head A sip, then raised his head to nod to Melanie and Victoria.


    The two babes are dressed today in excellent style and full of fashion charm. They have always been like this in public.


    Aldridge sat alone at the table, casually arranged dinner, and then chatted with the two women about trivia, the atmosphere at the table was very harmonious.


    At the end of the dinner, Victoria smiled with a handful of wine: "Aldrich, when you become the head coach of the national team, you are already a legend in the world football. The situation of the national team seems to be very bad, but you must be able to To turn the tide, everyone has confidence in you. Unfortunately, Adams, the captain of the national team, announced his withdrawal from the national team and failed to catch up with the good times."


    Aldridge picked up a napkin, wiped his mouth, and picked up a glass. He smiled and said to Victoria: "I just try it, maybe I will become a public enemy in a few months. Ha ha, these things are still not good. Like, I¡¯m definitely not going to talk to you about how to sing and dance, and suggest you what to do, hahaha."


    Victoria''s expression did not change, and Aldridge held a glass of wine in front of him.


    But her heart is full of infinite loss.


    The England national team has a new coach, and now there is still a lack of a new captain.


    Adams was gone, Keegan¡¯s son-in-law Shearer was also spurned, and the locker room was headless. At this time, Victoria wanted to tentatively test Aldridge. The best result was, of course, Beckham, her husband, wearing the captain¡¯s armband, Even if this is what Beckham instructed her to come today, it is normal. Players have ambitions, are they wrong? Like, soldiers who don''t want to be generals are not good soldiers.


    When it comes to Adams, it is a hint.


    Aldrich could naturally hear what that meant, and from a neutral point of view, this woman could not blame what she did for Beckham.


    However, Aldrich can only say sorry when it comes to his work.


    Not to mention Beckham¡¯s role as a field leader in Aldridge¡¯s mind, his background alone, it is reasonable to say that he did not appoint Southgate.


    There is no selflessness on the court. Treat yourself and trust yourself. This is the foundation. Doing so may be criticized by anyone for the purpose of seeking personal favors, but not doing so. When you fail, everyone will betray your family and you may end up even more miserable.


    Victoria just tried it, worked hard, if it didn''t work, then it wouldn''t be chanting, what else?


    The world is not spinning around them. In all fairness, she at least feels that Aldridge is a good situation as the national team coach and will be very helpful to Beckham.


    Even if she is not a football fan or a fan of football, she also knows that Aldridge has been deified in Fleet Street in this field.


    Beckham''s effectiveness under his hands is definitely better than that of the old Scottish man who made her hate her and robbed her husband. If it wasn''t for Beckham''s loyalty to Manchester United, she would have hated Beckham''s transfer to Millwall a few years ago. It''s time to harvest the championship trophy.


    At the end of the dinner, Victoria took her son one step ahead.


    Aldridge and Melanie remain, as well as their two sons.


    Earl was sleepy, lying in Aldrich''s arms and sleeping with his eyes closed.


    Aldrich didn''t go in a hurry, and wanted to stay longer with his two sons.


    Melanie stared at Aldridge for a long time, and suddenly said, "You pick them up to live in London."


    "Huh. Huh?"


    Aldrich casually agreed, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Melanie inexplicably.


    Seeing his reaction, Melanie repeated it with her chin: "I said, Burt and Earl, two babies, you took them to London and stayed with them."


    Aldridge was speechless for a long time, and his heart was ups and downs. He asked: "Why did you make this decision suddenly?"


    Melanie looked at the ceiling and whispered, "I don''t know, maybe, I''m really busy. I don''t have much time to return to Liverpool. The Spice Girls set an agreement, so I don''t want to dissolve solo. I want to start again. Time, It¡¯s really a luxury. Maybe, I don¡¯t want to be a villain in the media because I leave my son in Liverpool and you, the England national team coach, have to spend precious time every week between Liverpool and London. God knows if the country of England The team is not performing well, will I be one of the sinners..."


    Aldridge was very moved. In the final analysis, he and Melanie did not turn against each other. The two were more sensible. The reason for the separation was actual needs.


    "Thank you, if, I mean, if I can help you do anything, despite the opening, you know, as far as I can, I will never sting out my hand."


    Melanie shook her head after thinking about it. She sang. She was basically inseparable from the business operation of the Hall family. At best, she could have many ways to perform business, but she did not want to be suspected of being "sent under the fence".


    "Tell me about you, how are you doing?"


    Although Aldridge could not be said to have acquired the custody and custody of his son, at least he was able to bring his son with him, which made him suddenly overjoyed.


    Talking about the current situation, he was a bit smug.


    "Life is still the same, work. Ewen is working as a site planner at Brady''s company. She is more leisurely and does not belong to the kind of girl that will surprise you. However, being with her makes people feel at ease. The days are really unsettled, jogging and fitness in the morning, and walking together at night. I like this rhythm of life. I plan to propose to her at the end of the year."


    Aldrich has a soft expression, he is sure what he wants, life does not need vigorous emotional bondage, for him, love is not important, day after day of mutual love, this is the most realistic and true of.


    Melanie looked at him calmly, and said lightly: "Aldrich, tell me, you will not propose to her."


    Aldridge froze, then asked: "Why not?"


    "Because, if you did that, she promised you, sorry, Burt and Earl, will return to Liverpool, I can''t allow them to live in the family of his father Aldridge and not my Lady Hall. Now, She is just your girlfriend, cohabiting girlfriend, that''s all, it can only be like this."


    "Why? I don''t understand what you mean! Interfere with my life? Melanie, out of bounds!"


    When Melanie looked away, and then turned back to look at Aldridge, her gaze contained firmness that Aldridge did not understand.


    "Because I love you."


    Aldridge snorted and shook his head: "You can''t even face me in the morning and say good morning, but now just say you love me? Ha ha ha, this is a joke."


    Melanie didn¡¯t change her face, instead she smiled confidently and said, ¡°Aldrich, I really can¡¯t give you what you want, but five years and ten years later, I can definitely give you something to satisfy you. , So, you can''t get married."


    "Ridiculous, five years later? Ten years later? Do you think we can go back to the past?"


    "I don¡¯t know, but I will create such an opportunity, and one thing will never change. I am the mother of Burt and Earl. You are their father. If you want to let go of this connection, then you Go get married."


    "You threaten me?"


    "I like your present expression, there is a man''s wild side, why? Do you want to play with me? For the performance, I have been working out, I have not put down boxing, now go to the ring, I can accompany, and promise to take you Get down!"


    Aldridge glanced at her provocative look and closed his eyes and smiled ridiculously.


    "Is it a boxing fight, or are you going to roll the sheets after the fight?"


    "Who knows? Aldrich, more than a year ago, you stated your position, you can not compromise, don¡¯t accommodate me, this is your power, you can do this. At the same time, you don¡¯t underestimate women¡¯s attachment, Maybe letting you take care of two babies is one of my attempts. You can¡¯t imagine that when I looked at Burt and Earl, all my shadow was in your mind. Now, it¡¯s time for me to take the initiative, if I can forget you, you are no longer special to me, then, who do you want to marry, whatever you want, but if I can¡¯t, then I will fight for everything that should belong to me, my man and family !"


    Aldrich felt his forehead. There was always an illusion that he seemed to be caught in a "war" with Melanie.


    "You have complicated things."


    "It''s you that complicates the matter! Maintain the status quo, you can see the two babies every day, what are you unsatisfied with? You want to accompany them, and then marry Ewen? Please, Aldridge, you can''t Would you consider it for me a little bit? Can I watch my son live in such a family?"


    Aldridge looked at Melanie, and he was right.


    Melanie picked up her handbag and stood up, walked to Burt, bowed her head and kissed him on the face, then bent over and kissed Earl''s head in Aldridge''s arms, smiling: "Mom is gone. Be good. Love you, including you."


    Aldridge turned his head away and didn''t taste it.


    With joy and sorrow, the reality of Dog Day cannot be overjoyed.

 Chapter 546： Missing fighting spirit

    Aldridge took Burt and Earl back home, probably came to the new home, the two little guys had a night of trouble, Aldridge seemed to be haggard himself, but Ewen was harder than him, almost staying up all night This made Aldridge feel guilty.


    If he was going to work during the day, he would drive his two sons to Arthur, and he would take him home after get off work.


    The situation is now much better than his time out of Liverpool every week.


    During this time, he was really busy and dizzy. In addition to the work of the club, he went home at night to study the national team information. In the past, he had to take care of his two sons. He was happy to do so. But being tired is another matter.


    The day before the team''s expedition to Moscow, Aldridge was almost late.


    Put on a suit and hurried out of the house to race against time, which made the British paparazzi snapped photos with great selling points.


    No matter Fleet Street or other European media, Aldridge is now disgusted.


    When he was working in the club, he desperately wanted to dilute his identity as the coach of the national team, but whenever the press conference came, the reporters'' questions were circumvented and they were spared the England national team. Aldridge could not He didn''t set the rules and faced it with cold treatment, but he evaded questions about the England national team.


    Millwall ushered in the first round of the new season UEFA Champions League group stage, visiting Moscow.


    Visiting Moscow at this time is much easier than going there from November to December.


    However, when the 90-minute game ended, the Moscow people cheered and celebrated.


    They have achieved an epic victory enough to make a great book!


    Sparta Moscow 2:1 Millwall.


    On the first day of the Champions League in the new season, the defending champion burst into cold!


    It is normal for Millwall to win, and it is a small accident to draw a tie. Can he lose? Who dares to think so before the game?


    One of the achievements in the European War is that Millwall has only lost to Bayern Munich in the European War in the past four years.


    Sparta Moscow is almost able to write the history of the European War in Millwall Club.


    With three consecutive draws in the league and the first defeat of the European War Group Stage, Millwall''s winter seems to be earlier than expected.


    This game allowed Aldridge to determine the problem he discovered in the Tottenham game: what the team is missing!


    After the game, there was a silence in the locker room. Millwall players silently took off their jerseys, showered, put on clean clothes, and then sat in chairs waiting for other teammates to prepare to leave here.


    The soundproofing effect of the locker room is very poor. The sound of the carnival on the side of the home team''s locker room came through. It was extremely harsh, even if it was not intentional by Moscow Sparta, but Millwall players sounded as if it was a mockery.


    Aldridge took full responsibility at the post-match press conference, trying to extricate his disciples.


    There are many international players in the team, and the impact of the FIFA virus has not dispersed.


    Guest disadvantages.


    The team''s prospects are no problem.


    But he personally bears the responsibility for the defeat, admits that the tactics are used improperly, he underestimated his opponent, did not expect Moscow Spartan to be so tough at home...


    After the press conference, Aldridge came to the locker room and closed the door gently, looking at the scene where no one wanted to speak. He walked to the empty seat and sat down, silent for a while.


    He seemed to be accompanying the players to taste the moment.


    The players suddenly looked at him, and no one spoke.


    Aldrich didn''t get angry, if he could solve the problem, he would vent his anger without hesitation.


    But he knew that that was not the way to solve the problem.


    The team has a problem. This problem is a concern for the coaching staff before the season, but it is difficult to avoid by words.


    What is needed now is communication.


    "I lost the game and I''m in a bad mood, right?"


    Aldridge opened his breath with a sigh.


    Some players nodded.


    "Okay, let me do a review first. As you can see, I still serve as the coach of the England national team. I can¡¯t deny that I didn¡¯t spend my energy there. However, I don¡¯t think I have invested in Millwall. Less. Next, I¡¯ll say something that makes you feel uncomfortable, but I¡¯m not blaming anyone. Now this time, we need to unite together. If, you think I resigned from the England national team coach can improve the team Situation, then as long as you tell me, I will return to London and immediately submit my resignation to the FA."


    As soon as Aldridge''s words fell, Schneider said immediately: "Boss, today''s game was lost, but this has nothing to do with your role as England national team coach. What does Boss do in his usual work? We despise the club, we all see it in the eyes, to be honest, I am happy and proud of the boss, boss, don''t worry, now is not the end of the world, we will adjust the state next, and strive to win all the games. "


    Schneider''s qualifications in the dressing room gave him a great say, and his words were recognized by his teammates.


    For these players who play football, after a long battle, after hundreds of battles, there is nothing tangible to lose. There will be games in the future, and the situation is not on the edge of the cliff.


    Aldridge smiled a bit bleakly and said, "Yeah, it''s not the end of the world, but I don''t think it''s a problem with your competitive state. As I said earlier, I will say something that makes you not If you are comfortable, you may be against me or even complaining about me, but I must say that your fighting will has recently declined strongly!"


    The expression of the team players became serious and the atmosphere became dignified.


    The head coach can criticize the player''s status, which the player cannot quibble and deny.


    But the head coach blamed the players for their lack of fighting will. In layman''s terms, they are not fighting like men on the court!


    Who can bear this? !


    Aldridge sighed: "For you, it has been six years, five years, four years, and two years...Millen Wall has been honored, has a soft hand, lives in a mansion, drives a famous car, wears high-end clothing, and walks to Everywhere is a star, it is the focus, it seems that you have become expensive, and you have become a rank with civilian players. We win, win, keep winning, Juventus, AC Milan, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ??Manchester United, Bayern Munich and other European top teams are our defeaters. Who can stop us? Yeah, who else can stop us? But why did we lose to Sparta Moscow? Why did we lose What about a second-tier European league team?"


    Many players suddenly lowered their heads, feeling ashamed and even ashamed.


    "Is it because of Ronaldinho, Nedved, and Materazzi?"


    "Or is it because of the Eastern European environment that we are not used to it?"


    "Or is the artificial turf on this course awkward to kick us?"


    "Or, you, naively think that your opponent should lose to us?"


    "Or, you are afraid of injury, and you feel that it is not worthwhile to collide with your opponent, a group of unknown players. It is not worth it. Or, you take it for granted, this is only the first group game, there are 5 games anyway, we can definitely It doesn¡¯t matter if you go out and lose."


    Aldridge looked around the locker room, and no player dared to stare at him.


    Some words really poke their minds, or subconscious thinking.


    Even though Millwall has had experience in visiting Eastern Europe in the past few years, there is no guarantee that the team will fully adapt to the climate here when they come to Eastern Europe.


    It can only be said that experience has given them sufficient mental preparation.


    Artificial turf is also significantly different from natural turf. Players fall on artificial turf, not to mention bruises, but bruises can cause severe pain.


    The UEFA Champions League group stage is now so loose, and Millwall is in a relatively weak group, which gives players a lot of thinking to retreat.


    What is a lose?


    The trend of the game was that Millwall advanced a goal in the 32nd minute, equalized in the 60th minute, and scored a lore in the 91st minute!


    In the 30 minutes after being equalized, Aldridge identified the team''s problems on the sidelines.


    The will to fight is down!


    Why do top teams always kill opponents at the last moment? Why did the semi-strong team always concede the ball in the final stage during the strong dialogue?


    Sometimes it is not the gap of the team''s basic strength, but the gap of willpower.


    When the player''s fitness comes to the watershed stage after 70 minutes, whoever has the stronger desire to win and who has the stronger willpower will decide the final result of the game!


    Millwall''s situation is diametrically opposed to the vast majority of teams with weaker mental attributes.


    It is because this team is too strong!


    Powerful enough to start ignoring the team under a certain level.


    Playing first-class opponents, playing key games, seeing no problems.


    But encountering teams like Spartan Moscow and Spurs, they made them uninterested, like a kind of "self-confidence" arrogant to compete with opponents.


    Probably think that if you kick, you will win the opponent. The victory will come naturally. In case of injury, the price will be too large, and the player will start to avoid it deliberately.


    It is true that last season, Millwall played many games in 60 minutes and won the opponent in 70 minutes.


    But that was when they quickly resolved the battle with 100% combat power.


    This does not mean that they can now take victory within 90 minutes with 60% combat power.


    After the score was equalized in this game, Aldridge adjusted his tactics and aggressively attacked, but the players on the court did not show more aggressiveness. The decline of confrontation and the decline of impact are the best manifestations.


    Aldridge whispered: "Maybe, I have a difference with your ideas, I don¡¯t question your ambitions to continue to achieve glory, but I think that if you continue to develop like this, Millwall¡¯s glory in recent years will come So far. But maybe you don¡¯t agree, you feel that as you are now, you can still maintain our kingship in UEFA. Over the years, thank you for accompany me, accompany this club that had nothing before, ups and downs, You are the heroes of the team, this is not to be obliterated. I am grateful and do not bear to blame you too much. In this disagreement today, I take a step back and follow your ideas. When we are successful, when we are together, when we fail, I will also accompany you. When the season is over, let''s look at the ending. If I am wrong, I apologize to you. If I am right, we will forget this season and start again. Now, let''s go home. "


    Aldrich stood up and walked slowly towards the door. Southgate shouted at the back: "Boss!"


    In that scene, it seemed as though Aldridge was going to abandon them.


    Aldrich turned to smile, shaking his head to stop what Southgate said in a shocked expression, and said softly: "As I said, success and failure, we will all be together, big deal, come again."

 Chapter 547： Win and stop

    The Millwall Club dedicated airliner is flying back to London.


    Aldridge had fallen asleep on the plane.


    He has indeed lacked sleep recently, and his work density has returned to the previous heavy burden when he took over the team. Sleeping and forgetting food, plus taking care of Burt and Earl at home at night, Yi Wen is sharing his pressure, but Aldridge still sleeps at night. Not practical.


    One or two games failed to win, this is really nothing. From the European Super Cup, the Charity Shield, such a championship-type game, you can still see the top level of Millwall, even if playing Chelsea away, Millwall¡¯s play I don''t see any problems.


    But it is playing the weak team, and the desire to fight will decline very strongly.


    The extremely brilliant success brought this group of players excessive self-confidence and expansion.


    Young is the team''s advantage, but young people who succeed prematurely are also prone to breed arrogance.


    Aldrich knows that if this problem cannot be solved and the players can''t get their minds right, it will be a vicious circle and the team will go down the track.


    But he really can''t be furious.


    Was the whole team nervous because of a game or two? Such a stimulus is likely to have a negative effect.


    Especially the crux of the problem is the will to fight.


    Such criticisms and accusations are very sensitive in the football world.


    If the player is not innately mentally weak, he is accused of having problems in this respect. To be bigger, he is questioning the professionalism of the player. Obviously, if he can score 100 points, he will pay 60 points. This is not a problem of professionalism. What is it?


    In times of trouble, you can use a hard and sharp posture to stimulate the players when playing in the mountains and hills. However, in a well-organized state of peace and prosperity, Aldridge chose to use a more gentle and gentle way to solve this problem.


    He must first ensure that the hearts of the people cannot be dispersed and that there is no conflict between the generals.


    It doesn''t matter what he said.


    Really gamble a season?


    Do not make jokes.


    It is priceless for a year, and he cannot tolerate a year of inaction.


    He has confidence in this group of players, derived from understanding them.


    The players themselves will avoid the problem, the problem will not communicate, Aldridge needs them to face it, communicate, and then, self-regulate.


    As for whether there is a problem with the will to fight.


    It doesn''t matter to the players anymore!


    Aldrich''s words actually had a big trap.


    Fight, don''t fight.


    Which one is correct?


    Need to discuss?


    He just used a gentler way to stimulate the players, remind the team, and imply a warning.


    In the future, they will inevitably come up with stronger fighting spirit and fighting will to face the game, otherwise? Isn''t this a blatant mess? Once the team loses again or loses points in the league, wouldn''t it declare Aldridge''s staged victory and the correctness of the prediction?


    Aldridge is sleeping, and the players have a serious internal team meeting on the plane. What he talked about is specific. Aldrich is not clear. He has never participated in the locker room meeting, nor can he feel that the locker room belongs to the players. Secret.


    When he got off the plane, the players all looked serious and motivated. Southgate, on behalf of the whole team, assured Audridge that he would treat all games equally in the future, and strive to win the game, showing the style of the crazy lion.


    Aldridge made a joke with the players.


    "You just finished a defeated battle, and now you need to rest. Don''t stretch your face as if you are going to the battlefield. The time is wrong. Our next game is three days later, go home and take a good sleep."


    Back in London, the storm of public opinion around Millwall has just begun.


    After three consecutive draws, the Champions League group stage lost in the first game.


    All of a sudden, the collapse of the mad lion dynasty is so clamoring that Aldridge, as the coach, is naturally the object of criticism or ridicule.


    The media believes that Aldridge has become arrogant and underestimated his opponent after serving as the national team coach. Now, the national team has not played a game, the backyard has caught fire, and Millwall''s dominance is crumbling.


    In the storm of public opinion storm, Millwall ushered in a strong opponent in the sixth round of the Premier League, Liverpool.


    Aldrich is the focus of public opinion, especially the news from the Liverpool local media "Echo", people seem to confirm the position of Irving and Husky in the England national team, but another Liverpool striker, but Fowler was found to have missed the national team.


    As usual, Aldridge avoided any questions about the England national team.


    On the day of the game, at the Lion King Stadium, in the crowded stadium, the crazy lion fans faithfully supported their team. Here, it is impossible to see that Millwall is at the center of the whirlpool of public criticism.


    Aldridge greeted Hollier before the game, and then he returned to his seat and sat down to watch the game.


    Liverpool is indeed a strong Premier League team. At the beginning of the new season, they give people a feeling of being able to fight for the championship.


    Five rounds, three wins, one draw and one loss, the same points as Manchester United, are one point ahead of Millwall.


    "In the last four games, three draws and one loss, Millwall seems to have reached the limit! Liverpool caught up with the good times, although the game is not played in Anfield, but if you can end Millwall''s unbeaten record of 53 rounds here, It must also be an exciting result. But I don¡¯t know why. Seeing the atmosphere of Lion King Stadium, it seems that all fans of Lions are not worried and still have confidence in the team."


    Players from both sides lined up and the narrator introduced the starting list of both sides.


    Millwall injured three main forces here, Neil, Joe Cole, Klose replaced.


    Liverpool today presented a 451 formation that has seen Millwall encounter three draws in the past three rounds and looks popular.


    After the start of the game, the two sides fell into a fierce strangling in the midfield.


    Millwall still occupies the initiative, but the offense is very difficult to play, which is not a tough battle, because the main battlefield is in the midfield area.


    The game screen is often Millwall penetration and obstruction, having to pour the ball from the backcourt to ease the pressure on the midfield, and then reorganize the offensive.


    Aldridge sat under the field watching his situation without blinking.


    Looking at the game from a global perspective, you can often find a lot of vacancies and opponents'' flaws. Whether the players on the court are aware of it, most people are aware that they need to cooperate together. This requires experience, and it is impossible to demand every vacancy and every opportunity. Can be firmly grasped.


    As the game lapsed, Millwall adapted to the opponent''s rhythm, and the offense began to make great progress.


    It comes from a point change, full-back.


    Those who looked at Aldridge in the eyes of the world can observe the emptiness, the Liverpool line of defense loopholes, Millwall''s full-backs began to capture, and then use to tear open the opponent''s line of defense.


    Pirlo accelerated the frequency of lateral passes to tear Liverpool''s entire formation and unexpectedly launched a fatal blow while the opponent''s center of gravity continued to move.


    In the 41st minute, Pirlo''s one-foot straight pass passed the ball to Klose''s feet.


    Klose did not stop the ball, but directly passed the ball to the left.


    Aldridge saw Klose out of the ball and lamented that the boy had made the ball faster than expected. This ball passed well!


    Zambrotta plugged in this point, at this moment is the best response point, the regional offensive resistance is not great!


    Joe Korra took the car and took Carragher. Zambrotta unexpectedly took the ball directly from the rib. Carragher moved from the side and then to the middle of the road for a slow shot.


    Zambrotta passed the ball in front of the penalty area to Henry who pulled it out of the penalty area and took the ball on his back.


    Henry stopped the ball, suddenly accelerated the dribble laterally, followed by a straight kick from the back!


    He passed the ball back to Zambrotta, and Zambrotta happened to succeed in the offside, leaving Liverpool''s 3H line of defense behind him, facing Westwest in the penalty area, Zambrotta is estimated to be closed Shooting with your eyes, no matter what three, twenty-one, twenty-one, is a strong volley.


    The ball hit Westwest, but it still hit the goal!


    "Zambrotta scored a goal! A surprising goal! He actually scored in the penalty area and scored!"


    The fans were watching the bustle, and the Lion King Stadium thundered.


    But the experienced narrator is very surprised.


    An assist-type defender like Zambrotta pressed on the frontcourt to respond. Even if he threatened the goal, most of them were outside the penalty area. This attack was inserted from the side all the way and then cooperated firmly into the penalty area to complete the goal. The process was ruined and beaten by Liverpool, which was surprising.


    Aldridge stood up and waved after seeing the goal.


    All opponents are studying Millwall, and even football critics, media, professional organizations, etc. who are not concerned with them are studying Millwall. Does Millwall just wait for people to dissect?


    Of course not. Millwall will change to cope with new difficulties. There is a lot of work to be done in training. At the same time, when such an environment that needs to change appears, the countermeasures are immediately activated.


    The strange effect of Zambrotta is only a manifestation. This is not dead, and it is not only the full-back. This point, this player can play the magic effect, but under the circumstances, Zambrotta had the best effect.


    Because Liverpool''s right back is weak.


    Jamie Carragher.


    It can¡¯t be said that Carragher¡¯s playing as a full-back was terribly messed up, but when he competed with an opponent of this level at Millwall, his defense on the wing was really uncomfortable. He made a mistake in his judgment just now. Rota only came up to assist. Joe Cole was the one who completed the instinct. As a result, Joe Cole took cover, and Zambrotta did the job of the full-back and the winger.


    Liverpool did not catch up with the good times.


    If they met Millwall in the last league match, they might be able to beat Millwall with their stronger lineup than Tottenham.


    But Millwall, who lost to Sparta Moscow in the middle of the week, is holding his grievances, and Audridge has sounded the ideological alarm for the team.


    Today is the battle of the name correction after the Millwall team''s "renovation". We must use practical actions to tell Audridge: our fighting will is absolutely no problem!


    Throughout the second half, Millwall played an alternative style.


    The opponents intensively attacked in the dense midfield, Millwall frequently launched the attack through the accurate long pass transfer, and the back of the full-back made the audience stunned, the opportunity was seized, the role played, and all aspects were impeccable.


    "At the end of the game, Millwall stopped the decline in time after three consecutive draws and declared a state of recovery with a hearty 3:0. Zambrotta should be the best player in the game. He has a goal and An assist, he and Joe Cole left Liverpool''s right defense on the left and suffered a lot. Klose was also commendable. He took a Schneider side pass and scored a goal at the back point. Hopefully, Liverpool will not affect the state because of this defeat, don¡¯t stage the same plot in the past, and don¡¯t see the Red Army in the last moment of the championship, now they are 2 points behind Millwall and behind Manchester United 3 points."


    Aldridge used an understated attitude towards the interview after the game. Even if the spearhead of public opinion has been aimed at him and Millwall recently, he has now won the game. He has not arrogantly counterattacked. The days are still long, and his personal difficult period has not yet Coming.

 Chapter 548： Meet the national team for the first time

    Coventry, Bradford, Ipswich, Hamburg.


    Millwall scored 2 wins and 1 draw in the three rounds after the victory over Liverpool. The second game of the UEFA Champions League first group stage interspersed in the middle. They slaughtered the visiting Hamburg 5:0 at the Lion King Stadium.


    Playing relegation teams in the league, the technical and tactical needles are not so strong, and they have returned to the tough battle. Only three games have unfortunately achieved a draw, also because of the Champions League in the middle of the week to go away.


    The League Cup fell earlier this year and was eliminated by Liverpool. Metzelder was blown out by Owen. At the same time, Gerrard also completed a wonderful play, which made Pedretti suffer a lot when attacking.


    After the cup was out, Aldridge didn''t care much.


    After finishing the match with Ipswich, FIFA match day is coming again.


    Aldridge, which was automatically ignored in the past, continues to be the focus.


    Mo said that on Fleet Street, all England fans focused on him.


    The new England National Team roster is waiting to be released.


    Unlike the other half of the World Cup European zone qualifiers, this FIFA match day will play two rounds of group matches. England has only 4 opponents in the same group. During this period, there will be a friendly match and a third round of group matches. The opponent is the weaker Albania.


    When Aldridge took office more than a month ago, he suggested to the FA to contact friendly opponents.


    The FA didn''t want the laborers to mobilize people to play away friendly games, meaning that Aldridge had just taken over the team. It was easier to boost morale, abuse a dish, and then play in the qualifiers.


    But Aldrich insisted that they contact his friendly opponents, including Italy, Spain and other teams with only 5 teams in the same group, and there is no problem with the schedule.


    The FA didn''t dare to go to Italy. They were the runner-up of the European Cup anyway, and finally contacted Spain to finalize the friendly match.


    The schedule of this FIFA match day in England is to train in London, fly to Spain the day before the friendly match, and return to London immediately after the friendly match to prepare for the qualifiers that will follow.


    Before Aldridge attended the press conference, the England national team announced a new national team roster.


    Goalkeepers: Seaman, James, Robinson.


    Defenders: Gary Neville, Mills, Phil Neville, Southgate, Ferdinand, Campbell, Brown, Ashley Cole, Bridge, Carragher.


    Midfielders: Bart, Lampard, Gerrard, Scholes, Beckham, Barry, Joe Cole, McManaman, Hargreaves.


    Forwards: Irving, Husky, Alan Smith!


    A total of 25 people.


    After Adams withdrew from the national team, 30-year-old Hiller also withdrew from the national team, 34-year-old Keon was not recruited, and Manchester United¡¯s Cole was also abandoned...


    When the outside world saw this new list, they were all confused.


    Who is Hargreaves?


    Is it okay to bring three strikers?


    Also, Alan Smith, when he played against Leeds United at Millwall last season, he blatantly spit at Aldridge on the sidelines. He was later fined by the FA for being overweight, okay? !


    At the press conference, Aldridge answered questions from reporters about the lineup.


    "Hargreaves is a youth player of Bayern Munich. Probably two years ago, when Millwall played against Bayern Munich, the youth team between us discovered him. I have persuaded him to play for England. The England national team played. This season he started playing in the first team of Bayern Munich. He has great potential. He is a role player in England at this stage, but he is still young and needs to further improve his strength."


    "Strikers? I think three are enough. As long as not all three strikers are injured, they can''t play. Alan Smith? There is no problem between me and him. If you think there is, then you are questioning my professional qualities."


    "Goal? My goal is simple. I train well and see the results through a friendly match. Then, I win the game against Albania. The rest will be discussed in the future."


    ...


    Before taking office, Aldridge called very loudly, and when he took office, he seemed to be well received.


    But after taking office, huge public pressure came, and the outside world seemed to have changed the muzzle. If Aldridge made a slight mistake, they would wish to immediately cast him off, not only to see his joke, but also estimate his heart There are also a few people who maliciously expect him to be infamous.


    Ride the donkey to see the sing book, and wait and see!


    In the training of the national team in London, Aldridge directly appointed him at the Leo training base, and said generously to the FA: Free rent!


    The FA has leased Wembley to Arsenal this season, but the issue of Wembley¡¯s reconstruction has been put on the table, lack of money, need money, open source and throttling, can save a sum of money, even if you know the deal Millwall There is no compensation for steady gains, but it is still a favor to make Aldridge succeed.


    The national team training will of course attract attention from the outside world, which will help increase the popularity of Millwall. As for the small rent, you don¡¯t have to worry about it.


    Twenty-five England internationals came to the Leo training base. Some people were unfamiliar with it, some people were familiar with it, and there were places to stay. The building had complete training facilities. The rating was very high long ago.


    They packed up their simple outfits, put on training sportswear, and came to the training ground. Aldrich hadn¡¯t appeared yet. Klinsmann took the other members of the coaching staff to get to know the players one by one and introduce them to them. Responsible for the main training work.


    Aldridge didn''t be late, just came the next step, he had a report from the medical department in hand, and after these internationals came to the training base, he had a simple medical examination.


    The situation is a little optimistic.


    The defenders have no problems and the midfielders are passable, but the forwards, especially Irving, suffered a little injury in the new season. After he was injured, he immediately attacked Liverpool and did not fall. The physical condition was not particularly ideal.


    Aldrich came to the training ground with a report. The players stood in two rows. Even though they were not as well-armed as the military, at least no one had the appearance of a stern look.


    This is the first time the new coach of the Three Lions has gone to the national team to meet. 25 faces are presented in front of Aldridge. The eyes are different, with fanaticism, expectation, calmness, and confusion.


    Aldridge said tepidly: "I believe you all know who I am, I will not introduce myself, and you should also know the coaching staff. I advocate humanized management. Here, if anyone has questions, please To speak frankly and openly, like men, we talk directly, don¡¯t hide in our hearts, don¡¯t speculate about the consequences of communication, and we will solve the problem together. First, when you come to the national team, the first thing you want to forget is where you belong. The color of the club¡¯s jerseys, you play for different teams, there may be conflicts and disputes on the field, no matter what, forget it, put on the shirt of the England national team, you are teammates, you should trust each other, mutual Helping the group, what is the most important of the group? Communication and tolerance, everyone has their own ideas, you can¡¯t expect your teammates to read your mind, when you need your teammates to understand you, please tell your teammates, only one can Only a team that communicates freely inside can condense the basis for cooperation, instead of 11 players with different ideas fighting alone on the court. What I need is a strong team, a team that all of you gather together!"


    Aldridge''s opening remarks made players look at each other.


    The hatred of the jersey color is very common in the national team, familiar with the Spanish national team Barcelona and Real Madrid''s opposition is the most obvious.


    In the England formation, the contradiction between Liverpool and Manchester United is the most profound. The club is the enemy.


    The good news is that Liverpool have not many players in the national team. At least Beckham can assist Irving. This kind of cooperation between Manchester United players and Liverpool players is difficult to see at a certain time. Now, Odrich The situation is not bad.


    "At the end of the year, we don''t have much time in the national team. During this period of training and competition, I don''t have many requirements. What should I observe in the club, the same is true in the national team. The following points I asked for, First, during the national team training competition, no players can enter or leave the entertainment venues, especially nightclubs. You should use the time outside the training competition to take a good rest. If you can¡¯t restrain yourself, then please leave. Second, you can¡¯t participate. For business activities, I need the team to prepare for the national team in a quiet, serious, and dedicated manner. This is the highest goal. Any off-site factors must not affect your distraction. Third, the national team¡¯s problems are resolved internally, and the national team is secretly disclosed. The information of the room is the same as the club, and here, no traitor is needed."


    Aldrich set the military regulations and did not talk about training or laziness. It seemed to be a pediatrics and a play.


    Pulling out the armband of the captain of the England national team from his pocket, Aldridge walked in front of Southgate and handed him the armband. The other players all looked at Southgate.


    "Gares has played for the national team since 1995. He has won many honors in the club and has rich top-level experience. I can honestly appoint him as captain because I know him and understand his fighting spirit. With the will, I am sure that he can be a good captain and serve the England national team. If some of you feel that he should not be the captain, say it now, or, do some of you recommend yourself that you can be a better captain than him? ?"


    Captain of the England national team, this is a glory to the English players.


    The other players looked at each other and were not convinced?


    Why didn''t you accept it?


    People hold three league championship trophies, three European championship trophies, and countless other small awards. This is not convincing. Isn''t it ridiculous?


    Feel free to come up with some evidence and compelling reasons!


    Millwall, the captain of the strongest team recognized by the European club as the captain of the national team, what can be questioned?


    Aldridge also announced the appointment of the captain at the press conference. Fleet Street didn¡¯t think there was a problem. He didn¡¯t even ask. It was logical.


    Of the 25 people recruited by England in this issue, who is more suitable as captain than Southgate?


    The internationals began to applaud, congratulations to Southgate, at the same time, it can be regarded as a formal ceremony for the new captain.


    After everyone''s applause ceased, Aldridge finger Beckham said: "David, you are the deputy captain, please lead Gareth by example."


    Beckham gave a charming smile and asked, "There is a question, what should we call you?"


    "Anyway, um, just call the coach, I don''t really care about this."


    Aldridge replied casually.


    There are clubs called bosses, boss bosses, and MANAGER is also very common.


    "Now, you do warm-up activities first, today we have more training content, don''t be injured due to insufficient warm-up."

 Chapter 549： Advantage?

    The England national team officially started the first national team training in the Audridge era.


    The England international, who had not been trained at Millwall, heard Audridge say there was a lot of training to be done today, which made them doubtful.


    After jogging around the field after jogging, Owen leaned beside Lampard and asked in a low voice: "Is coach Hall''s training cruel?"


    The Gerald, Hargreaves, and others beside them all raised their ears curiously, waiting for Lampard''s answer.


    Lampard replied solemnly: "Okay, I have never felt that training is particularly heavy, and I usually go to the gym after training."


    He doesn¡¯t mean to show off that way. It¡¯s literally. He has time to go to the gym to practice. It must be that the team¡¯s ordinary training did not squeeze his energy.


    No one seemed to believe Lampard''s words.


    Millwall can create today''s brilliant record, their physical advantage is a major feature.


    If when to see Millwall players unable to run on the field, it is definitely a great spectacle.


    These players have just finished the club game, and now come to the national team, I am really afraid that Aldridge will treat them like animals, wield a leather whip to train them for the devil.


    Lampard saw the expressions of his teammates around and smiled helplessly.


    The physical fitness of the Millwall team is good. This has nothing to do with the training intensity. However, the key point is not to conduct **** training, but the Millwall training system has a scientific system. Scientific and reasonable training is more squeezing than simply boring. Physical training should be more effective. Aldrich has always advocated the combination of work and rest. The player reaches a critical point, and training will not have much effect.


    They had misunderstood Aldridge''s words.


    He said that the training content is too much, does not mean that the training task is heavy!


    National team and club training have very different concepts.


    You can''t expect to change the player''s playing habits through training in the short time of the national team training, or improve their personal abilities.


    On the contrary, the training intensity will be lower than that of the club. The main purpose is to adjust the player¡¯s state, its own technical ability, physical fitness, and even extend to tactical awareness, team coordination awareness. This is not the goal that the national team can achieve during training. Do these jobs.


    After the players warmed up and returned to Aldridge, Aldridge immediately entered the next training session.


    "The national team''s record in recent years has not been very satisfactory. I am not criticizing you, but seeking truth from facts. Since I am currently coaching the national team, it will definitely be very different from the previous head coach in tactical play arrangements. If I follow the previous tactics of Hoddle and Keegan, then there is no need for the FA to hire me, and I will not come here. So, you have to be conscious and I will not discuss with you on the tactical arrangements Don¡¯t think it¡¯s because I¡¯m using authority to suppress you. By no means, if you have an opinion, it¡¯s definitely for the team. I won¡¯t question this, but I¡¯m the same. My job is to let you win on the court. , Therefore, our goals are the same, but you are only players, I am a coach, I will think more than you, at this level, you do not have the right to speak, listen, accept, and strive to meet my requirements, which is enough Well, if some of you boycott my tactical arrangements, please say it directly. If you are not happy, you can only apologize, please leave."


    Aldridge''s remarks shocked the spirit of the international team.


    Changes, there will definitely be changes.


    Because the previous European Cup, the qualifiers, proved that they had failed in the previous tactics, of course, it has to change, unchanged, and can only continue to die.


    At this stage, Aldridge must make it clear to the players beforehand, and don¡¯t wait until the actual combat to make conflicts and perform a farce that the generals do not agree.


    Of course, if some players are really placed in positions that they don''t like, there will be great resistance in their hearts.


    In detail, Aldridge didn''t know much.


    However, like Scholes, he withdrew from the national team at the age of 30. There are many reasons for the external interpretation. Manchester United may be one, dislike Eriksson may be one, and he is arranged in the left-back position, but also Probably one.


    Starting from the internal thoughts of these internationals, to come to the national team to play, I definitely hope to have something to do and I will be famous for a long time.


    Aldridge is now coaching the national team, they are full of expectations, hope Aldridge can bring England to the glorious heights like the Millwall club.


    Big name?


    The biggest big name on the scene was Aldridge. He didn¡¯t have to listen, but who would regret it?


    Aldrich continued: "In my opinion, there are two ways to win on the football field. The first is to use your own strengths and maximize your strengths. Then use these strengths to defeat all opponents. Second The main reason is that their own advantage is not enough to contend with all opponents. In other words, the advantage of the opponent is obviously greater than their own. ."


    The internationals nodded, which is easy to understand.


    If the team is strong enough, you don¡¯t have to study your opponents. As long as you play your own style, even if the opponents are targeted, they will also be destroyed. For example, when Millwall now plays against most opponents, the winning point is not how. Restrain opponents, but how to maximize their own advantages. It is no problem to play by yourself.


    But in front of the opponents with strong strength, this set of disregarding the opponent¡¯s strong crushing will cause trouble. When Millwall fights with the European giants, he can¡¯t just consider his own characteristics. He must study his opponents and limit his opponents. On this basis, we will seek ways to defeat the enemy.


    Aldrich asked with arms around his chest, "Let''s talk about the first situation first and give full play to our advantages. Who can tell me, in your eyes, what are the advantages of the England national team?"


    He originally wanted to make the atmosphere of the team easier with a communication.


    However, this problem seems to have puzzled everyone.


    The internationals looked at each other.


    Beckham''s eyes rolled: Is Brother''s Moon Scimitar an advantage? Walk alone!


    But if you say it, is it a bit shameless?


    He turned his head to look at Scholes, as if he wanted Ginger to give him a show.


    It''s a pity that Ginger''s expressionless face seems to be in a daze.


    He turned his head to look at Gary Neville, his good friend, but Neville frowned and thought hard, not looking at him at all.


    Gerald wanted to speak to say that physical fitness has an advantage, but he still didn''t say it.


    Yes, the physical fitness of English players should have an advantage.


    It is a pity that they are exhausted on the domestic battlefield.


    Alan Smith also wanted to say: I dare to fight!


    But when it comes to playing against Millwall last season, he left the game with a red card, which might be interpreted as a disadvantage.


    Five minutes have passed.


    Ah...ah...ah...


    There seemed to be a crow flying across the sky.


    The autumn wind swept away, and it was cold and silent.


    Aldridge glared at these internationals. He felt that he had asked a foolish question.


    God! What are the advantages of England? !


    Aldridge thought for a long time and couldn''t think of a tenable advantage.


    He suddenly said: "Very good! It seems that you all have the gentleman''s character, humility, low-key, unwilling to praise yourself, it is commendable! Everyone knows our advantages, now, officially began training, first of all, a 30-minute game The match. The coach will send you jerseys of different colors, a team of the same color, under the command of coach Klinsmann and me, and the game will start in 10 minutes."


    Aldridge turned his head to prepare for the match, and when he turned around, he wiped the cold sweat from his head.


    What a **** embarrassment.


    In the future, don¡¯t ask anyone in front of him to ask what is the advantage of England, otherwise, he may beat his sleeves and beat people!


    The players received red or white shirts from Jenson and Babu, and the red and white shirts were clear, and the two teams came out.


    But when they came to the court, the internationals looked very strange.


    The red and white teams are obviously divided into a main force and a substitute pattern.


    The main team is Klinsmann''s position and tactical arrangement on the field.


    Goalkeeper: Seaman.


    Defenders: Gary Neville, Southgate, Campbell, Phil Neville.


    Midfielders: Beckham, Bart, Scholes, McManaman.


    Forwards: Irving, Husky.


    British tradition 442.


    When Klinsmann arranged the tactical arrangements, the main points were almost the same as they used to play.


    In other words, their team''s overall combat power is similar to the past.


    And Aldridge''s bench is more excited. It seems that he is going to do a game with the main players.


    Goalkeeper: James.


    Guards: Mills, Ferdinand, Brown, Ashley Cole.


    Midfielders: Lampard, Barry, Gerrard, Joe Cole.


    Forward: Alan Smith.


    The problem is coming, less people.


    Attacking players is indeed insufficient.


    Aldridge beckoned into the distance, and a teenager wearing a white shirt quickly ran to him, and asked enthusiastically, "Boss, where do I play?"


    Aldrich introduced him to these England internationals with his arms around his shoulders, saying: "He is a Millwall youth player, a Portuguese, his name is Cristiano Ronaldo. We are lacking offensive players on the side of the game, he joined we."


    Goalkeeper James is tall, looking at a teenager who is shorter than himself, frowning: "Coach, how old is he? Are you afraid of being injured?"


    "People will pay attention to the training competition. He is almost 16 years old. Well, he has eaten well and slept well all these years. He usually trains hard. See, his muscle lines are very obvious."


    Aldridge said, squeezing Ronaldo''s arm, it seemed to feel his muscles.


    Ronaldo flicked his arms away, and his nostrils looked like he didn''t flick James.


    Seeing him like this, Ashley Cole, Joe Cole, Millwall players who know C Ronaldo''s style in the youth team know that this boy is expected to use the limelight to fight back and question it.


    11 starters are enough.


    Aldridge took the tactical board and started arranging positions for the players on the field.


    Barry is a defender in the club. Today, he is scheduled to play in the midfield as a midfielder. He has no comments. At the earliest, he changed from a midfielder to a defender.


    Gerrard and Lampard were on both sides, playing the same midfielder.


    Joe Cole hit the waist, and the person parallel to him was Ronaldo, the free man.


    Forward, Alan Smith.


    Arranged the position, Aldridge told them in detail the task in the game, the defensive responsibility area is the most basic, what role should be played when attacking, pass the ball, respond to the running position, what to do in the first place and many more.


    Even if this group of people is a national team, you can''t just arrange a formation, you go up and kick!


    That can kick a yarn, it must be a mess.

 Chapter 550： Instill and win trust

    In the first training match of the national team, the players wanted to make a good impression on the new coach, so they played extra **** the court.


    After the training match started, Aldridge and Klinsmann no longer managed the team. The two stood on the sidelines and watched the game to communicate.


    The situation on the court is obviously that the red shirt jersey side is more dominant, after all, their players are significantly stronger than the white shirt side.


    The White Shirt defends Barry Town in the middle. Lampard and Gerrard are two players who can''t die. Aldridge does not expect him to solve the problem of coexistence between Germany and Germany. At least, during his 20-month term Within that, Shuangde will definitely not start at the same time in the national team game. The roles of the two are similar. Only one is needed on the field. In the training game, separating the two with Barry can at least reduce the area of ??activity of the two. ''S own chaos.


    Although the red shirts dominate, they control the ball most of the time, but they have become a tough battle, they seem to have few means, especially in the face of the white shirt team with a three-waist, Scholes is in the frontcourt The organization''s ability to cope cannot penetrate the offensive, Beckham and McManaman, the latter can also burst, the former can only rely on the golden right foot of the meal to launch some threatening crosses.


    The Red Shirts have a good control of the outer points and continue to attack, but the positional battle cannot be played, and the players in the backcourt will come to assist.


    In ten minutes, the red shirt''s ball control rate may exceed 70%, but the shot is only 4 feet.


    Joe Cole couldn''t catch the ball at the beginning, Ronaldo couldn''t even grab the position, Smith was directly invisible.


    Ten minutes later, they were familiar with the rhythm on the court and their performance began to improve.


    What is the advantage of the England team, Aldridge and these international players can not answer.


    But the disadvantage of the England team is very obvious.


    The continuous attack can''t produce intuitive effects, and the high-lifting high-playing has little effect. They began to actively try to pass the penetration within a small range.


    Scholes took the ball laterally to get rid of Barry''s defense and accurately passed the ball to Husky before Gerald''s close defense approached. The latter did not turn one-on-one with Ferdinand and passed directly to Irving, but the two The pass failed to form a tacit understanding, Owen wanted to pass straight forward, Husky gave the ball, the ball passed behind Owen, Brown stepped forward and kicked the ball to Lampard in front.


    Before Lampard took the ball, on the side near him, Ashley Cole pushed forward at high speed, Gerrard on the other side also quickly ran forward, and Joe Cole came back to answer.


    In an instant, Lampard had three points to choose from.


    Before Scholes came to the defense, Lampard passed the ball to Joe Cole in front of him. Joe Cole did not one-on-one with Bart behind him and observed the situation before receiving the ball.


    McManaman returned to the defense to keep up with Gerald, Beckham returned to defend and robbed him, Joe Cole knocked the ball across the side, Ashley Cole quickly moved forward after dribbling the side.


    Joe Cole turned and ran forward, Gerald inserted at a high speed close to him, Ronaldo happened to be on the side of Ashley Cole, and ran to the side to meet, Ashley Cole gave He passed the ball in advance.


    Ronaldo''s active sprint started earlier than Gary Neville. The two chased the ball together. Neville was closing Ronaldo''s cross-line. Ronaldo''s posture to catch the ball in front of the bottom line seemed to be directly passed with his left foot. .


    Neville expected that he could easily resolve the hairy boy''s cross. He stretched his foot to block it, but Ronaldo didn''t make a cross, but left the ball with his left foot while rushing to stop.


    Gary Neville''s wide-eyed eyes were on his back, and he felt embarrassed and suffocated.


    Played by a boy with no hair!


    When playing in Japan two years ago, Ronaldo on the field wanted to trample on the opponent. Ronaldo''s playing style has simplified a lot after two years, combining practicality and skill.


    Even though he stopped Neville''s center of gravity after a quick stop and spike, Ronaldo also stopped and wanted to explode again to start the speed. He is now clearly inferior to the adult player. Neville was just shaken and immediately after closing his foot Quickly occupying the defensive position, but just when he stood to defend, Ronaldo passed the ball to Ashley Cole in the rear, which was running inward.


    Neville immediately moved to block, just ran two steps, feeling the wind behind him, Ronaldo interlaced with others, the ball, rolled in between Neville and Southgate, Ronaldo and Ashley Cole were clean Neat cooperation!


    Southgate blocked Cristiano Ronaldo''s progress or adjusted the angle of the shot. He didn''t rush. If it was robbed, it would definitely be more likely to be out of position.


    But who knows, Ronaldo touched the ball the first time in the penalty area and then passed the ball out, knocking back to the top of the arc in the middle of the penalty area.


    Joe Cole slammed the ball forward before Bart and gave it to Alan Smith.


    Smith swings his legs and volleys. This guy may be lucky today and kicked a beautiful dead end. The ball hit the net.


    Boas, who was the referee on the field, blew his whistle and pointed to the middle circle, indicating that the goal was valid.


    Smith went back to celebrate with Joe Cole after scoring a goal. He smiled happily, invisible for more than ten minutes, and suddenly scored a goal. It was a magical feeling.


    Cristiano Ronaldo strove towards the middle circle with a ruthless look, and he glanced at Gary Neville intentionally or unintentionally during the run...


    Aldridge nodded slightly on the sidelines. Cristiano Ronaldo had at least a little self-knowledge. He knew that with his body, he had a hard time with this group of old fritters. , The effect is at least achieved.


    Recruiting Smith, in fact, Aldrich took a fancy to his willpower and ability to play. This is of course relative. The contrast is a pure shooter like Irving.


    However, in just ten minutes, Aldridge observed Smith''s performance on the court and has been satisfied so far.


    He fulfilled the requirements when assigning tasks.


    Don''t stand on the line and wait for the ball. The early stage is to ambush and hit the threat zone at the critical moment.


    Smith just ambushed on the other side of Campbell before breaking the goal. When C Ronaldo passed the ball to Joe Cole, he had a running track towards the middle. Joe Cole shot straight, he shot immediately, and had some luck. After all, not every shot can hit a dead end, especially without adjustment, but if he adjusts, Campbell and Southgate will close the door and block him.


    After losing the ball, the main team of the red shirt was obviously not reconciled, but the white shirt team''s momentum was soaring. In the next game, the white shirt team seemed to be somewhat smug and wanted to take another shot after the victory.


    As a result, McManaman passed Mills on the left with a personal pass. Husky scored a goal and James was saved by the ball. Scholes followed the shot and sent the ball into the gate.


    Aldridge nodded at Scholes'' goal.


    In his view, Scholes''s national team career in the original history is divided into two parts, the first part is from the selection of the national team to the present, the second half is Erickson took over the England national team until Scholes is 30 years old Announced withdrawal from the national team.


    In the first half of the national team''s career, Scholes performed very well, especially after plugging in the goal scoring ability, so that he can even become the England national team''s goal hero!


    In the second half, Scholes has had the national team''s goal shortage for nearly three years. Of course, for midfielders, scoring is not a hard indicator, but it is obvious that Scholes'' scoring ability is in the national team. Was weakened.


    If you go to watch the video of England¡¯s defeat of the European Cup, Scholes impressed him most in the attack that he can always find the empty space in the penalty area and appear at that point to form a threat, although he does not belong to that one. People carry a team of forward players, but his characteristics of this game are very admired by contemporaries of the same midfielder.


    There is a saying that everyone who watches the ball knows Zidane, and everyone who plays football knows Scholes.


    Knowing the evaluation of Scholes by midfield or midfield stars in this era, such as Xavi, Iniesta, Fabregas, Zidane, etc., I understand that this **** head is an underestimated low-key master .


    The master does not mean that the player must be a delicate and elegant player, but rather the contribution to the team in the game and the threat to the opponent.


    With a player like Scholes, Aldridge can have a certain confidence in the transformation of the England national team. With a good card, he can play better.


    The training match ended 1:1.


    When the players on both sides rested, Aldridge called them together and sat on the ground in a fan shape. The coaching staff brought in a tactical board. Aldridge stood in front of the players and asked as usual: "The game At the end, let''s talk about feelings. You must be able to see that the red shirt team uses 442, and the white shirt team uses the 4321 formation. There is a gap in overall strength, but the score is a draw. There is a threat offensive. "


    Owen complained slightly: "There are too many defenders on the white shirt."


    In the positional battle, they met 7 players with 4+3 defensive lines in the frontcourt, and the range was very narrow.


    Aldrich nodded and said, "The white shirt side compresses the defensive space on the backcourt. The red shirt side needs to tear open the opponent''s defense line. What do you rely on? During this period, you spent about 10 minutes patiently organizing the offensive, playing short pass penetration, The result? Instead, he was hit with a counterattack and lost the ball. What did the red shirt''s goal come from? After the personal breakthrough of the wing, the opponent created a defense against chaos and broke the opponent''s orderly defense system. This 30-minute game told us A reality, the England national team battles on a small scale, and lacks ability. In essence, we lack most of the players who have the ability to get rid of the ball and the ability to control the ball. Especially in the case of contrast, who are your opponents in the international competition? The tactical defense is like the artistic Italy, the united style of Germany is tough, and the Spanish, Argentina, Portugal, Brazil teams such as Spain, Argentina, Portugal, and Brazil, which have more aggressive offenses and sharp control capabilities, will reduce the number of people England can invest in offensive. Even the teammates can¡¯t find the scope. This is the reality and our weakness."


    Reality is the fact that you have to admit.


    England¡¯s league style alone cannot breed a national team that passes control and canon to play a delicate penetration attack. They are used to holding high and playing high, and are used to finding high points in side passes. This is blameless. Eight sides, but now, it is outdated.


    The players listened attentively, and most of them looked thoughtful.


    Perhaps it is precisely because they can not improve the delicate small-range pass, so they can only hold high and play simple and rude.


    Aldridge looked at Bart and asked, "What did you find in the defense that just conceded the ball? If you mark Joe Cole personally, you will definitely be able to stare at him. What caused him to make a series of attacks and finally complete the assists? ?"


    Nicky Bart reluctantly spread his hands: "The entire midfield is basically empty, how can I follow him in every step?"


    Aldridge nodded and said: "Space. Small-scale cooperation is not what we are good at. Therefore, we need to create the space needed for the offense. The space becomes larger, there will be more free time, and the teammates are more likely to form a contact point. David, why did you chase Joe Cole when you turned from offense to defense just now?"


    After recalling it, Beckham said: "His position is close to my defense zone. I backed up to help Nikki and also watched Lampard plug in."


    Aldridge replied: "What''s the result?"


    "As a result, Lampard didn''t plug in, but Cole, who was closer to the side, came up. I ran to the defense again. He moved forward too fast and completed the cooperation with the Portuguese guy. They cooperated too fast. Like the coach you said, they have a lot of room for this kind of cooperation, which can reduce the error rate."


    Aldridge snapped his fingers and said, "Please remember the key points I want to talk about. We need to develop our strengths and avoid our weaknesses. The two most important points are: first, space, second, and hidden offensive points."


    As the players sitting on the ground rested with solemn expressions, Aldridge not only instilled them with new tactical ideas, but also won their respect and longing from the heart. Compared with emphasizing the so-called fighting will, spiritual quality, The things that Aldridge presented to them, such as the hard-working things such as hard work, have aroused their interest, made them curious, and looked forward to this is the magic weapon for the revival of the England national team.

 Chapter 551： Resolution and activation

    If a 30-minute training game is used as a factual basis for transforming the team, this is definitely untenable.


    Aldrich will not naively think of playing a training game, and elaborate on the point of view, this group of players will be pleased to vote for his five bodies, and, in essence, in order to transform the team, it is not an individual who establishes authority on the team, but to build A powerful team that can play combat power.


    Klinsmann posted four pictures on the tactical board. Most of the internationals sitting on the grass saw those pictures, and the expression suddenly became a little depressed.


    Perhaps that was not the scene they were willing to recall.


    The content of these four pictures is the picture of England and Portugal playing in the European Cup.


    The four pictures are all freeze moments before the goal''s final blow.


    Aldridge needs to communicate with the players to analyze the problems and characteristics of the past team. In the selection of valuable game videos, England and Portugal have the best battle.


    First of all, it was a defeat, a reversal that made the English feel incredible!


    From 2:0 to 2:3, in addition to Figo''s stunning long-range shot out of five goals belongs to the magic stroke, it has almost no tactical analysis value, because let Figo repeat 10 times, maybe it is impossible to score another goal.


    The other four goals, whether they are scored by England or conceded, have very valuable analytical value.


    Aldrich looked at many players lowering their heads and seemed unwilling to look up at the tactical board. He whispered: "We have limited time, we can not discuss and analyze the details of each game specifically, but I think it is necessary to make you more Deeply understand our own problems and what kind of attack we are the most powerful. The analysis of this match against Portugal four months ago is not to attack your confidence. Now, look up and listen carefully. Keep every word I say in your heart and think for yourself."


    After the players raised their heads and looked at the tactical board, Aldridge reached for the first picture.


    The content of this picture is the moment before England scored the first goal, Beckham was about to cross from the right.


    Aldridge pointed to the situation in the penalty area.


    "This goal, the routine seems to be a traditional England side pass. In fact, there is a big difference. Owen and Hiller, the two have been stared to death, but their positions are very reasonable, scattered, respectively Attracted two Portuguese central defenders and created an empty front in front of the goal center. Beckham took the ball from the right and the landing point was at this empty spot. Our forward was not on the landing point, but he created a scoring opportunity for his teammates. Coles accidentally inserted from outside the penalty area and grabbed this point. When he was left unguarded, he put the header into the goal. It was a beautiful goal. Even if it was not scored, this attack was also very exciting."


    Whether it is unintentionally or intentionally, in short, the goal of England¡¯s goal is very exciting, because each player has played a role, Owen, Hiller, two forwards made a cover, Beckham assists Coles, McManaman forced the full-back on the other side to fail to shrink back and miss, and the frontcourt players all played their part.


    Aldridge pointed to the second picture, which is also the picture before England scored, and the freeze was still the moment when Beckham kicked the ball.


    "Our second goal also had a very good cooperation. In the picture, we see that Owen''s position is on the wing, but you should all remember that Owen is actively pulling the side and is facing the package of two Portuguese players. The defender unexpectedly turned back and made the ball to Beckham. This was the first point that the Portuguese defense was torn apart. That is, they thought that the limit had killed Owen and squeezed Owen to the side, but Owen could pass the ball. Coming out to his teammates, this disrupted Portugal¡¯s defensive deployment. In the second phase, the Portuguese defense line was in chaos, and the mark had a loophole. Scholes rushed to the middle of the penalty area and attracted the attention of all Portuguese defensive players. Beckham''s passing ball fell behind, but McManaman left the ball unmarked and easily put the ball into the empty goal. The focus of this goal is, first, Owen''s ball. Second, Beckham Crossing and the cover formed by Scholes¡¯ forward threat, and third, McManaman¡¯s back point outsourcing scoring awareness.¡±


    As soon as Aldridge''s voice fell, he glanced at the players and gave a thumbs up.


    Beckham scratched his head and smiled.


    England''s two goals, all from his golden right-footed assists, are indeed very beautiful.


    For a pure shooter like Irving, the first goal-scoring cover may not be his intention, but just did his job, but the ball did not pass to him.


    But the second goal, Owen''s "Aura of Light" is extremely crucial. When two players in Portugal sandwiched him and he was about to break his ball, he could pass the ball. This is his whole game In Aldrich''s opinion, the most "magic" performance, at other times, being stared to death and restricted, he can only rest. If he has the ability to play, even if England plays 442, then the offense can be derived The changes are even more, but the requirements for the players themselves are too high, they can score and can make the ball, such a comprehensive top striker, in the future, worth at least 30 million pounds to start.


    "I think these two goals are typical, telling us what kind of cooperation can better penetrate the defense of the national team''s first-class team, and if we want to break through the opponent''s door, what kind of game awareness and team cooperation characteristics should we have. Offensive and point-to-point confrontation, we do not have the advantage. To create chaos in the opponent¡¯s defense, we must break the deployment of the opponent¡¯s targeted marking."


    The England internationals sitting on the grass sighed.


    At that time, they were leading 2:0, they all thought they would easily win the game, Portugal seems to have no resistance, but the result? That kind of scoring routine is not something they are used to or can often play. It may just be good luck to catch two opportunities at the beginning of the game.


    Aldridge directly skipped Figo''s long-range goal from Adams''s crotch into the dead end.


    He pointed to the third picture with a heavy tone and said: "This is the picture before Rui Costa assists Pinto in the side pass. This process of losing the ball is very bad for morale, because Portugal has passed a dozen We can¡¯t limit our opponents by passing the ball without passing the ball. The advantage of their ability to pass and control is vividly displayed. But at the last moment, I still have to highlight the problem. When Rui Costa assists, the number of defenders in England''s backcourt is more than the number of opponents. A lot more! Especially on the right offensive in Portugal, we have three players in the vertical direction, and there are 2 or can be understood as 3 players in the back defense against Pinto. The result? Rui Costa passes, Pinto From the left to the right, the big air took a local impact and directly shook his head to break the goal. Four years ago, I published an article in the media column to evaluate the game of England¡¯s loss to Germany, especially focusing on criticizing the England team¡¯s defense at that time. In the European Cup, England¡¯s defensive problems are more serious than they were four years ago. Obviously, there are a lot of defensive players. However, the key points are unstoppable! In the case of a larger number of defenders, no one has the consciousness to limit and prejudge this situation in advance. This must be improved!"


    When it comes to defense, Aldridge''s expression is a lot harsher, let''s not mention the offense first, international competition, defensive victory is the main theme of this stage.


    He pointed at the fourth picture again, then sighed.


    "This drop is even worse than the one just before! Rui Costa has four English defenders in front of him, and then he passes the ball and the only Gomez on the front line receives the ball. Breaking the goal completes the big reversal. This problem of losing the ball is exposed through this picture, I think it is clear enough, the waistline is completely vacuum! Rui Costa''s pass rolls out of the gap between the people, and then arrives without any obstacles. The frontline danger zone, and our two central defenders also have a big problem, one was cheated by Gomez, the other was completely watching the show. Gentlemen, I don¡¯t understand, the second goal was lost in the first half , Most players are dead standing defensive position without prejudgment and blocking the pass line awareness, the second half of this ball is the obvious contrast, most people grab a point, and then exposed a larger backcourt, these four bags Even if there is one player of Rui Costa, one of them is standing in front of two central defenders to protect the defender line. I think that Rui Costa¡¯s pass will not easily go to the foot of Gomez, you are very Strangely, in a game, two very different defensive issues were exposed."


    Aldridge began to replay England''s game in the past year after taking over the national team. Only this game with Portugal made him puzzled. Generally speaking, a top team may have many problems exposed, such as a certain This point is penetrated, such as excessive offensive force weakening the defense, but the pure defensive tactics have two problems that are contradictory, which is very rare.


    Just like this game, there is an extreme contrast between the first half and the second half, but the static defense in the first half lost the ball. The second half actively took the initiative to fight or lost the ball. England, what is your defensive strategy?


    Beckham raised his hand seriously and said in a serious voice: "Coach, we failed to limit Portugal''s ground transmission and cooperation in the first half. Coach Keegan asked us to actively fight in the second half to limit them and make them unable to flow smoothly. Play in the frontcourt."


    Aldridge looked up at the sky, slightly speechless.


    Sounds like the correct adjustment.


    However, to fight actively, you must also have a strategy. If you don''t practice at ordinary times, it is useful to rely on swarms of wolves to fight.


    If it works, then the defense on the football field is simple, not just running and grabbing!


    Without a strategy of active scrambling, the most likely problem is that the entire defensive system itself is chaotic, causing the line of defense to become disconnected and lose a sense of hierarchy, but it is more likely to be penetrated, just like England¡¯s third reversed goal.


    To fight, you have to use your brain to fight.


    Four of them sandwiched Rui Costa, and finally let the other team score two assists, which was too big.


    England fans can''t forgive Maradona, all they are thinking about is stealing victory with the "God''s hand".


    And the strength of the England national team was indeed very strong. If it was a swarm of bees that was directly exploded by Maradona, then England planted it and it was not as good as people. Maradona is a layer of breakthrough. With the best goal in the history of the World Cup, this kind of performance may be rare for a century. Even if Messi copied it later, the two goals cannot be compared at all.


    The defense of the England national team of that generation was no problem. It just happened to marry the miracle of Maradona and the "hand of God". Therefore, if the current England national team is ruiled by Rui Costa Break through the layer, then lost the ball, there is nothing to say, can be defeated by the opponent with a seemingly rude and stupid defense, which will raise a feeling of hating iron and steel, gnashing their teeth and scolding them to destroy the Great Wall.


    After reading four pictures, Aldridge also finished the analysis. He saw many players solemnly showing a thoughtful expression. He clapped his hands and said: "Okay, we know what is the problem with the defense and how to attack. Power, now is the stage when we solve the defensive problem and activate the offensive power!"

 Chapter 552： Determine the main lineup

    Aldrich is a man or a god. It is impossible for him to take the position of coach of the national team and bring strength to BUFF.


    The spiritual level may inspire players. After all, he may be the biggest and most prestigious coach in England in addition to Ramsey, and Ramsey only sealed the **** after winning the championship. , The spiritual inspiration brought by Aldrich should be stronger.


    But the England national team itself is not a spiritual problem, so this improvement can be ignored.


    Finding problems, solving problems, understanding the advantages or your own characteristics, and then applying the right medicine and teaching according to the aptitude, this is a scientific and methodical process.


    In just one hour, training Saiga and his own analysis, Aldrich completely won the trust of these internationals through his work attitude and methods.


    At least, the situation seems to be reliable, instead of Aldridge shouting: Boys, rush for Lao, let''s take the championship!


    Such a scene...


    In particular, Aldridge did not seem to plan to transplant Millwall''s technical and tactical play to the England national team, which made the players feel more reliable.


    Millwall''s strength does not mean that Millwall''s tactics are universally used. Whoever uses it knows that many European first-line teams have also imitated Millwall in the past two years. For example, the use of delayed organizations, the transformation of traditional wingers, The results of it? Poor performance, the record is worse.


    Teaching the students according to their aptitude and guiding them according to the situation is the most correct teaching policy.


    After the players got up from the grass, Aldridge suddenly announced the list of players in the main position.


    "I don¡¯t like to leave the players in the bottom of my heart. I like to present everything to you in front of you. Let the players understand their situation and the situation they face. Now, I will announce the tactical formations I will use and each position. The first choice player, please do not feel comfortable, the alternative player will always challenge the main position, everything depends on your status in the club and the performance of the national team."


    Aldrich''s voice fell, and the players looked stern in their heads.


    The main position of the national team is about personal honor!


    "We will not use the 442 formation anymore. After discussing with the coaching staff, we have designed a set of 4321 formations for England. With regard to tactics, I will focus on elaborating with you again in training.


    Goalkeeper: Seaman.


    Right back: Gary Neville.


    Double centre-backs: Southgate, Ferdinand.


    Left back: Ashley Cole.


    Mid-back: Bart.


    Right lower back: Beckham.


    Left lower back: Lampard.


    Double front waist: McManaman, Scholes.


    Forward: Owen.


    Above, if there is no injury and state impact, it will be the current player of choice for all positions of the national team. In a few days, our friendly game with Spain and the World Cup qualifier with Albania. If there are no accidents, these 11 people will be the starters. "


    After the main announcement, most players are not surprised.


    The alternative players, such as Joe Cole, Hargreaves, etc., have little expression fluctuations. For them, they are very young and can not get the main position. It is normal that they can enter the national team, which is the biggest surprise. Any more?


    But some players'' expressions immediately became lost.


    Campbell, the central defender, is still the main force in the European Cup.


    Keegan chose him and Adams as a partner. I don¡¯t know why Southgate was abandoned. Perhaps Keegan felt that Southgate was not enough for Campbell to be ¡°hard¡±.


    Aldridge has chosen the guard combination and has always considered the complementary characteristics of the partner as the main consideration.


    The central defender must have a strong interception and anticipation, as well as a sense of co-defense. To put it bluntly, it must be flexible in addition to the positive impact.


    Southgate is not a kind of tough and rude guard of the tower, but his interception consciousness and supplementary position, pre-judgment ability are tempered in Millwall, whether it is Stam, Elgra, or horse. Trazi, his partner came to be a tough guy, he was more of a contingency to resolve dangers.


    Therefore, Southgate needs a hard enough partner, but also have a height.


    Brown was ruled out, leaving Ferdinand to compete with Campbell.


    Looking at it now, Campbell is stronger than Ferdinand.


    But Ferdinand is on the rise, and the team he plays is currently stronger than Tottenham, Campbell, especially Ferdinand, following Leeds United, can also temper in the Champions League to accelerate growth and improvement.


    Another factor that caused Aldridge to decide that Campbell was on the bench was something he could not declare.


    Campbell''s central defender seems to be slightly weak in psychological quality.


    After making two ridiculous mistakes during Arsenal''s history, he left the game and did not play. His psychological fragility directly followed the future goalkeeper Gomes, who suddenly burst into tears on the court due to mistakes...


    Such a central defender, Aldridge is afraid that he will explode when he directs the game, which will be a devastating blow to the morale of the team.


    The position of other defenders is not too controversial. Except that Phil Neville was placed in the backup position, Aldridge arranged for the Indian left guard Ashley Cole to play the main role. The cloth is four or five months older than Cole. Ritchie has nothing to complain about. He has emerged from Southampton in these two seasons. He played like Cole last season, but even if Cole is a substitute, his performance level has stabilized him.


    The pressure that Aldridge wants to withstand is nothing more than whether Ashley Cole will get more opportunities in the club in the future.


    As for the midfield, Gerrard and Lampard have the same qualifications. They were both selected for the national team for the first time in 1999. Now Aldridge chooses Lampard to start. Gerrard is still a substitute. If there is any dissatisfaction, it is nothing more than that. Lampard failed to play the European Championship in summer, and Gerrard was on the bench as a substitute. However, the European Championship in summer is a memory that can''t be looked back, and it can''t be the basis for Gerrard''s dissatisfaction.


    Fight, grab it, whoever is in good shape, who can perform better, whoever goes on, Shuangde, just one position.


    Aldridge abandoned the 33-year-old Ince and the defensive midfielder Bart can get the main force, completely because the players with this characteristic are now unavailable for the England national team.


    It is not an accident that Scholes and McManaman got the main force. Anyway, they are players who play for the giants.


    The striker shrank and Hiller withdrew from the national team. Hess basically thought he could be in position. As a result, there was one striker. That''s Irving. Alan Smith was ambitious. There was nothing to be dissatisfied. Having the chance to compete was already satisfied.


    After announcing these, the players had enough rest to enter the next stage of the ball team training.


    The coaching team organizes Zhang Luo''s training content to supervise and guide.


    Aldridge called a player to communicate with him from time to time on the sidelines.


    He was the first to call Carragher.


    "Jamie, there is one thing I want to be honest with you. You are a very good player and have a very good talent. I don¡¯t think you will question me. You know why."


    Carragher nodded, of course he understood.


    At that time, Aldridge came to persuade him to join Millwall, but Carragher refused. If he had no talent, would Aldridge come to him?


    "However, in the national team, if I want to use you, you must first prove yourself in the club. At the same time, if I use you, it will only make you appear in the position of the central defender. The right back, Gary, Phil, Daniel, All three can play, and I always think that you can only play your greatest strength in the position of central defender, I hope you can understand and understand."


    What can Carragher say?


    Apart from nodding and leaving, there is no guarantee.


    Anyway, he played right back and was just exploded in the game against Millwall some time ago.


    The diversity and comprehensiveness of player positions are advantages, but it does not mean that every position that can be played can exert the strongest strength.


    For example, Lampard can play in the lower back, midfield, and front midfield, but the effect displayed in each position is different. It cannot be said that because he can show 90 points in the midfield position, he can also play in the lower back. Scored 90 points.


    Aldridge continued to look for Bart and Gerrard, and talked separately, both to determine their position on the national team''s court and their role, but also vaguely proposed that they can get more opportunities in the club.


    When he called Owen to the front, Owen suddenly apologized to Audridge.


    "Coach, sorry, back then..."


    Aldridge was stunned, remembering that when the door came to find Owen, the other party turned him away, even if the house did not let in, and did not give a sip of water, it was indeed rude.


    Aldridge smiled and said, "You don¡¯t have to worry about the past. Michael, although the national team does not train players, you must understand that you are not my ideal center candidate. You can get a temporary main force. Guarantee, because you are really superior in grasping opportunities, but it is not enough, it is not enough, so I have an additional requirement for you."


    Irving didn''t expect Aldridge to say such things, but he was the target of many European giants, and at the same time he felt puzzled himself.


    When I was not famous, you came to me.


    I am famous, but you no longer pay attention to me.


    Millwall is rich, but he has never been interested in Owen. The scandals fabricated by the media often clarify the first time.


    It''s not a question of Owen''s body, it can only be said that Liverpool trained him to be a player who can''t conspire with Millwall.


    If Aldrich is interested in pure shooters, why not let Fanny go?


    "Come on, coach, I believe your request will definitely make me stronger. We all hope to achieve better results in the national team."


    Irving¡¯s response reassured Aldridge. He raised a finger and said, "One pass, I will improve the pass if you can."


    Irving doesn''t understand it. Pass the ball without stopping? It''s not difficult, just what the success rate is, then it''s unclear.


    "Michael, I said a one-pass pass, meaning that when we attack, I need you to be able to observe the situation before catching the ball, and then pass the ball to a teammate who finds it free and faces defensive pressure more easily, one foot , Only one foot is required, after passing the ball, you will then move forward into the dangerous area, instead of the past, as long as you have the opportunity to take the ball forward, more detailed requirements, I will combine training and competition to let you Completely understand."


    Irving nodded and ran to continue training.


    Aldridge''s transformation of the offensive end, the center is a very key point, and he can not make Owen become a strong coping ability, if asked Owen to take more, I am afraid that Owen himself will be confused.


    There is a sentence in Chinese that is appropriate to use on the football field.


    Take a step back, the sea and the sky!


    This is often the case on the football field. It¡¯s not necessarily a good thing to go forward at the forefront. Taking a step back and pulling the scene away will have more opportunities and better, making the offense rich and flexible.

 Chapter 553： Create new tactics

    On the first day of the national team''s training, Aldridge communicated with each player individually. At the same time, the coaching staff also observed the players up close through training to further understand the characteristics of the players.


    This information data will help Aldridge to formulate a more detailed tactical framework. 4321 is just a number. How to play on the field is another matter.


    Just like Aldridge placed Beckham on the right midfield, could Beckham not be active on the right when he was attacking?


    The formation is dead, the initial position is more important is a defensive responsibility and regional settings, printed in the player¡¯s mind, play a role in the game, return to position when defending, contact with other positions, can be aware of other regions when attacking The situation, in the blink of an eye, immediately made the decision to deal with the ball.


    After the first day of training with a lot of content, the next day, line-up and tactical exercises began.


    The convenience of coaching the national team is that the player''s ability value is above a level, there are basically no major defects, and there is no language communication problem for the players.


    At first, players were allowed to practice their own tactics. Aldridge was watching and watching, and the effect was poor, because the players did not seem to understand the essence of tactics.


    Aldrich brought the players together, and with their professional qualities, with a little bit of dialing, they could understand that the rest is the effect of actual combat.


    "You may think that 442 is more balanced and more offensive than 4321, and it looks like this. When 442 is attacking, at least 5 players can invest in the offense, and 4321 seems to have only 3 players in the frontcourt. Come, let''s see Tactical board."


    Aldridge drew a 442 parallel midfield position map on the tactical board.


    "442, when attacking, the side and the center are combined, and more points are forward. It seems that the number of attackers is large, and the direction of attack is also choice. But what is the problem? In this formation, players are easy to be marked and the players in front are marked. After death, the players in the back rush forward, which can easily lead to overlapping positions and increase the pressure on the backcourt.


    These, these internationals who play 442 every day should have a deep understanding, and there is nothing to discuss in detail. They are more interested in how to attack the 4321!


    The players looked at Aldridge curiously.


    "Come on, look at 4321."


    Aldridge drew a 4321 standing formation, and then drew a five-point attack arrow.


    Double front waist, single forward, left back, right back waist, five offensive.


    Aldrich asked: "We can attack like this. We have five offensive players and make full use of the width of the field. At the same time, in the process of back-to-front, we pass triangles to achieve the effect of tearing the opponent''s defense line by layer. "


    The players looked at each other, looking at the plane, indeed, 4321, five players offense, and 442 five players offense, from the location and area, with changes and unpredictability, more use of the field width, and because the players from the guard, to The striker, as long as he can hit the speed, the continuous impact is more difficult to mark.


    Aldrich wiped off the attack arrows from the left back and right back, and painted the attack arrows on the characters of the right back and left back.


    "We can also attack like this, and also keep five offensive players."


    When Aldridge redrawn the arrow of the offensive player, many England internationals sighed.


    They already understood what Aldridge wanted to express.


    Simply speaking, the 442 fixed attack routine, the midfielder finds the wing forward, the wing forward finds the forward, or the wing forward initiates, passes to the midfielder, the midfielder and the like, this routine has been rigid and must be thoroughly studied by everyone. On the basis of this formation, combined with the personal ability of the England international, it is difficult to derive more powerful offensive routines.


    McManaman wondered: "In fact, we have 7 players with offensive abilities!"


    Aldrich nodded and said: "Yes, there are seven players, three in the frontcourt, two backs and two backs in the backcourt, plus two full backs, but the point is that in the offense, only two can be invested in the backcourt. Players move forward, and in order to achieve defensive balance, only one player can move forward on the left and the right. If the midfielder gets on, the full-back cannot move forward. At most, he can move forward according to the situation."


    This tactical arrangement is based on defense.


    If Beckham stepped forward to participate in the offensive, then Lampard on the other side and right-back Neville could not over-press. Similarly, Lampard went up to participate in the attack. Ashley Cole in order to ensure this side Without defending, he can''t play.


    442 is very balanced. The 4321 created by Aldrich is essentially balanced in the number of offense and defense conversions, but it can be flexibly changed in the distribution of offensive points, and there is no position conflict in the change, and there will not be a full back rushing up. Squeezing the edge-forward activity space, simply supporting, it is impossible to increase the situation of intuitive goal threats.


    Aldrich patiently explained: "Part of this tactical focus is the change of attack and defense in the midfield and backcourt. Among the three midfielders, the middle is mainly defensive, and the other two have to bear the responsibility of changing from defense to attack. The ball mobilized the task, for example, Lampard took the ball on the left in the midfield and backcourt. Defensive players in front of him suppressed him, making him unable to bring the ball forward or even having a comfortable space to take the ball, then this time , All he has to do is to divide the ball, to whom? Ashley Cole on the left side will pull forward, and Beckham will also attack forward on the other side as a contact point, which can maintain stability and success With a sharp passing distance, after Lampard initiated the offensive, he could not continue to move forward, still staying behind, preventing the left side from being counterattacked and revealing a lot of empty space. The second part is the midfield and frontcourt response in the attack, The core is Scholes. After his teammates attack in the midfield and backcourt, Scholes will form a contact point in the middle and quickly move the ball to a more threatening area. When the attack advances to the front line, Scholes, McManaman, Irving, including players who come from the backcourt assists, must form a two-row or three-row attack threat."


    The internationals started to discuss with each other. A changeable tactical system is the foundation of the team''s game. The creativity of England''s players is limited. How does this limitation reflect on the field?


    Regardless of the opponent, even the audience can basically guess how they pass the ball while watching the game. Who passes to whom, and there is nothing unexpected about the running position. What about the opponent? It is easy to limit their offense.


    Aldrich cannot change the player''s own ability, so he can only work **** tactical design and provide changes with strategy.


    Scholes raised his hand and asked: "Coach, what you just said, it seems that the best effect is only when you fight back?"


    Aldridge smiled, ginger''s head was stuffy, but the football thinking changed quickly.


    "Yes, this counterattack is the most powerful when counterattacking. As I said yesterday, positional warfare is not our specialty when there is not enough space. Therefore, frontal attack, positional warfare, We play simpler, and this simple method of attack is a strategy. The most important thing is that we removed a striker, we have more midfielders, and when the opponent''s offense and defense conversion is excessive, we can create There is a lot of pressure on the opponent to quickly counter-attack in the midfield and then launch a counter-attack on the spot. This is also one of my requirements for you."


    Scholes thought about it carefully, and then nodded in a definite manner. Aldridge looked interesting, not knowing how much the **** head understood.


    After inculcating the tactical philosophy to the players, the next offensive and defensive drill training is the stage of experimentation and running-in.


    The main team, the substitute team, the offensive rhythm slowed down, Aldridge warned on the sidelines, constantly reminded players to run, and also reminded them of defensive tactical skills in actual combat. In this regard, Southgate played a more important role than the field. The side coach is better. He sits in the back line and observes the situation to remind his teammates to fill in.


    It was only when the exercises and the theory were practiced that these internationals really felt the freshness of Aldridge''s new tactics.


    In particular, it is flexible to change the offensive.


    The deepest feeling is Beckham.


    Lampard on the other side is accustomed to this changeable tactical routine. If the situation does not change, and Millwall cannot use conventional means to open the situation, he has become accustomed to the changes in offensive points. Therefore, he It works well with Ashley Cole on this side.


    The two of them attacked and defended, and they had a good understanding.


    Beckham is full of energy in the transition from defense to attack.


    Launching an offense is not a deadlock, the key lies in the mobilization link.


    Beckham was crushed, he took the ball to Neville who put on the side, and he could also find Lampard or a long pass to the front field to run out of free players.


    His speed is not a strength, although he moved from the wing forward position to the back, but his long pass can play a big role, especially in counterattacks.


    Basically, when the instigation of the offensive link is excessively stable, the offensive after the half-time is burst out immediately. Scholes'' key mid-course scheduling, followed by the forward impact brought by the players, can often break through a line of defense. Let the offensive continue to move forward.


    It''s just that in the last link, the cooperation is still not in place. It takes time to familiarize them and establish a new tacit understanding.


    The substitute team will feel more and more unbearable because they can''t resist the points that are inserted after the opponent. In theory, there are four points that may be inserted. Which two are rushing up is unpredictable, especially in the instigation In the offensive link, the biggest player in front of the space has been selected to attack forward, flexible and threatening, and rushing up within a few seconds, it is really unpredictable.


    Aldridge''s tactical formation is also flawed. The biggest weakness is that when the opponent does not take the initiative to rush, defending mainly compresses the backcourt space, and plays a conservative defensive counterattack. Then, even if England''s rear insertion can cause accidents, However, they can''t tear the line of defense. In that case, they can only rely on attacking the three axes, dribbling through, positioning the ball, and shooting long.


    Dribbling breakthroughs are negligible, with positioning **** and long shots, I have to say that England has a little advantage.


    Beckham''s direct free kick or assist teammates, Lampard, Scholes, and long-range Kung Fu all have the ability to break the ice.


    The second day of training was better than the first day, because the players were full of energy, and in the new tactical system, they were like children who got new toys.


    Towards the end of the training, Aldridge saw Gary Neville running to the edge of the woods outside the training ground.


    Trees will be planted on the edge of the training ground, which is windproof to avoid affecting training.


    Gary Neville is selfless, watering the trees at Leo¡¯s training base.


    Aldridge turned his eyes and called Scholes in front of him, saying seriously: "Paul, how accurate are you?"


    The 1.74 meter **** head slightly looked up at Aldridge, a little more than ten centimeters taller than him, without a word.


    "Try it."


    Aldridge stretched his fingers to Neville, who was a long distance away from the training ground. The other party put his head up to release water, as if he was still whistling.


    Scholes made two runs and cut a football on the training ground.


    Very standard shot.


    The ball traversed a parabolic trajectory lightly in the air.


    Aldrich concentrated on watching the ball fall.


    Boom!


    The ball hit Neville''s back!


    Scholes turned to pretend to be talking to Aldridge.


    Gary Neville, who turned around with his pants on the edge of the tree, shouted.


    "Paul! I know it''s you!"

 Chapter 554： Camacho teased me!

    In just a few days of training for the England national team, the team has established a good atmosphere. Competitive sports are always based on the record. The record is good. The probability of chaos in the overall situation is not high. On the contrary, it may break out. A series of negative events, the English national team ushered in the era of Aldridge, and at this stage, everything seems to be booming.


    As the friendly match with Spain drew closer, Fleet Street focused on this match.


    Jiangshan came out on behalf of talented people, Aldrich''s new national team feels very young, except for the old goalkeeper Seaman and captain Southgate, all other players are under 30 years old, the media speculated The starting lineup is ten or nine, and the players on the court are all playing. It is very exciting. Of course, they guessed the left back and thought that Aldridge would still use Phil Neville.


    Before going to Spain, Aldridge gave an interview. When talking about friendly games, he said lightly: "This is just a friendly game. I want to see the team¡¯s mental appearance, competitive state, nothing more, victory or defeat, it doesn¡¯t matter. ."


    The young commander''s remarks made Fleet Street unacceptable.


    Why did you start to be a national team coach and start to pick up your tail?


    Isn''t this stance just giving yourself a way out?


    As a result, the Fleet Street reporters were arrogant and a little bit forced to force Aldridge into a desperate situation, forcing him to fight back into the water and publicize the fighting will of the Three Lions in a high-profile manner: it must be won!


    The reporters pointed out that friendly matches have a direct impact on the FIFA points in England. If they are not valued, they will likely affect the draw of the World Cup in England.


    Aldridge was confused and asked rhetorically: "Isn''t it enough for England to talk about the World Cup now?"


    Whether it is a World Cup or not is a big question. Consider FIFA points now.


    Originally, the media wanted to give Aldridge a face, but the three lion team''s handle did not have any awareness. How can the glorious England national team be so low-key?


    At this time, Fleet Street simply stopped talking about friendly games and turned over old accounts.


    Question the question of Aldridge recruiting members of the national team and reuse Millwall players. If you break the finger and count, players with Millwall background or history occupy half of the national team, the reporters pretend to be worried whether Aldridge will Be celibate like Keegan.


    Aldrich was fed up with their unprovoked accusations. In this respect, the media said a few days ago that Aldridge has capacity and meritocracy.


    An example is that he recruited Alan Smith, who had a direct conflict with him, and this volume was described as a gentleman''s style.


    Aldridge finally walked away.


    Most of the news published on Fleet Street the next day was pessimistic.


    I think that Aldridge led the team to Spain this time, and the training is indeed training, but it is likely to encounter a defeat and return, and the excuse, Aldridge has already found a good match before the game: the victory or defeat of the friendly match is not important!


    Who is the opponent?


    Spain!


    Compared to history, England should be better than Spain. Spain has only won the European Cup in 64 years, and the best result in the World Cup is the fourth place, and England has a World Cup champion.


    But Spain has a remarkable name at this time.


    king!


    Prefix: Qualifier.


    The qualifier king!


    On the three-point acre of Europe, the qualifiers are grouped, and the top teams encounter San Marino, the French islands, and it is normal to brush 6-8 goals in a single game.


    But what about Spain?


    Just over a year ago, he was able to brush 9 goals in Austria in a single game!


    Just after the European Cup, in the qualifiers, Spain''s offensive firepower was dazzling, with 40+ goals!


    Now in the World Cup qualifiers that have just started, Spain is also in full swing, and the offensive firepower has been a mess.


    England contacted the friendly match, and also specifically found Spain, and it was an away game. Isn''t this the door to death?


    Fleet Street is pessimistic and sees the decline of the national team''s departure to Spain.


    Aldridge''s mentality is not happy, the friendly match, can''t make a big move, the purpose is to train troops, find problems, correct problems, and let the team run in with actual combat.


    The England national team was uniformly dressed under the rule of Aldridge. When he went on the expedition, the suit was worn. The handsome guy went to Valencia, Spain, but many English fans followed.


    The home team of the Spanish national team is not fixed at Wembley as England, but takes turns to bid and bid for the city where the stadium with the hardware facilities meets the standard. This time, the home team of the Spanish national team is arranged in Mesta, Valencia Leah.


    Stayed in the hotel and spent the whole night. The next night, Mestalla was packed and ushered in the battle of Spain vs England.


    There are more than 10,000 fans in England. They are more excited. No matter what the media writes, in short, the best local coach of England has a debut in the A-level event. It is a matter of course.


    Spanish fans hold a good play mentality.


    England?


    Is it awesome?


    Our Spanish bullfighters are on the offensive, and it is a piece of cake to abuse you.


    There is also that less handsome, the coaching club is indeed prestige, but the national team is two different things, today, I will give you a dismountable power!


    When Aldridge came in, the English fans in the stands cheered, and the Spanish fans also made a huge noise just to overshadow the momentum of their opponents.


    "It''s strange that Hall coaches the England national team. Isn''t he going to use Irving? Today he put Irving on the bench and the starting single forward is Husky."


    The live commentators from England were all ignorant.


    England abandoned 442, and they have nothing to say. After playing 442 for so many years, there is no decent result. Give up.


    However, in this starting lineup, I didn''t see Irving, but I saw it on the bench list, which is puzzled.


    If it wasn¡¯t for the press conference to crash with the reporters, Aldridge will tell the outside world in advance that Irving will play the bench when he talks about the friendly match. After all, someone will definitely ask who will start.


    He was unlucky to say that Owen is the biggest card and the most capable striker.


    Unfortunately, Aldridge did not want to overdraw his physical fitness.


    He is not even 21 years old!


    But since the blockbuster in Liverpool, almost all games without injuries and illnesses, plus the national team has also been reused, how much rest time does he have in a season?


    Now, Aldridge can indeed use him, and it seems that it has little effect, but this accumulated physical load will affect his future, frequent injuries, and premature slip from the peak period.


    Doing his best to obey God''s destiny, Aldridge can give Owen some rest and give him more time. This point, he also greeted Owen during private exchanges. Friendly match, you can rest.


    Aldridge stood on the sidelines waiting for the game to start, but when he saw the starting lineup of the Spanish national team, his eyes changed and he looked at the Spanish national team coach Camacho inexplicably.


    Brother Camacho, you''re doing God Horse!


    Amuse me!


    When Aldridge suggested to the FA to contact friendly opponents, he specifically looked for European strong teams.


    Finalizing Spain, he was satisfied.


    The qualifier king can achieve the purpose of testing the team.


    In particular, Spain''s oppressive offensive and aggressive team has attacked fiercely. Even if he abused England, Aldridge doesn''t care. Instead, he can find the team''s defense problems more intuitively and then proceed to solve them.


    He naturally wants to see Spain put on the strongest lineup.


    But who did Camacho go to today?


    Albelda, Harvey, Joaquin, Vicente, Tristan...


    It is undeniable that these players have strength, but it is by no means the main force of Spain now, not the strongest lineup they can come up with.


    Aldridge''s expression became annoyed.


    He thought of a possibility.


    He hopes to use this game to train his troops and face the stormy offensive in Spain to test the team''s defense.


    However, Spain was reluctant to make him happy.


    Spain''s strong team, known as the king of the qualifiers, has a soft foot in the international competitions. The European Cup group stage in summer stumbled and eventually broke through, and was then eliminated by the championship team France.


    Camacho also started to transform the team, revising his Spanish team whose offense was gorgeously messed up, so that the team began to move towards balance, and at the same time enabled more newcomers to test the effect...


    England and Spain seem to have the same idea, and they all want to use their opponents to train troops. As a result, both parties may not be able to do so.


    Aldridge was depressed. He came to play in a friendly match. He wanted to use his opponent''s experience to practice leveling. Good guy, the other party also intends to come and also want to use England to level.


    The friendly did not start, Aldridge was crying.


    After the game started, Spain''s offense seemed to be able to play well.


    Albelda defended in the middle, Harvey organized, Joaquin and Vicente flew on the sidelines, Raul and Tristan stormed ahead.


    The English fan reconciliation was also depressed after watching the game for 5 minutes.


    What the **** is going on!


    The defense line is so backward?


    Grab it!


    Press to attack!


    Vicente and Joaquin seemed to be showing their way on both sides, but Aldridge was not worried.


    These two flying wings are Millwall people, the style of training is pragmatic and concise, and there is no problem to break through when there is a lot of space, especially in the area between the midfield and the first 35 yards of the penalty area. .


    But as long as they enter the area 35 yards before the penalty area, they will be caught on the sidelines.


    Southgate is the busiest person on the field, but instead of running back and forth, he shouted hoarsely.


    "David, **** him! Nicky, follow up, Frank, lean towards the middle."


    Southgate directed the three midfielders to maintain defensive distance, and when the timing was right, he decisively started to block.


    There is no constant defense requirement on the court. For example, fighting is very particular. If you go alone, what should you do?


    When to grab?


    The reasonable and appropriate timing is the right distance from teammates. Even if you fail to grab, you can ensure that you will not reveal more space to your opponents. At the same time, you can also create new opportunities for your opponents to be intercepted when they break through.


    For the first time, Beckham, Bart and Lampard cooperated in the official game. The defensive tacit understanding needs to slowly accumulate. Southgate''s command is critical.


    When Vicente took the ball on the left and went forward to the dangerous zone, he was caught in a double breadcuff. Beckham kept sealing his inner route, and Neville did not rush to grab him, blocking his way forward. .


    Vicente will either pass back or break through. The Harvey reception point in the middle has been stared by Scholes. The reception point of the front line also has Bart stuck in the line. At the same time, he is also waiting for the opportunity to support behind Beckham.


    The ball is on the left side of Vicente. On the contrary, the right defense is easier. So Southgate commanded the waistline to lean towards Vicente. If Spain attacks too much, then England will adjust accordingly. There are three people who do lateral defense, and the personal movement distance is not so far.


    At this moment, Aldridge nodded.


    Spain''s attacking frontcourt was cut by England through a reasonable defensive position, and the number of defenders in England was still dominant.

 Chapter 555： Flat-footed

    Beckham looked at Vicente to speed up after getting caught, so he took advantage of the situation, but he still remembered the defensive points that the coach instructed during training.


    The attack with the highest threat value is still in the middle, centered on the goal, and trying to keep the opponent away from the fan-shaped area of ??30 yards.


    Put him in this position, Beckham can let Vicente pass, but it must not let Vicente such a route into the middle, let him go down there is no problem, there is Neville there.


    Beckham kept the center of gravity to seal the inbound line, and then forced to grab, Vicente speeded up, the ball forward, he just went forward, the ball was slightly away from the distance, Neville looked at the opponent after speeding up and after the next touch The rhythm of the ball was successfully intercepted by Vicente from the side track.


    Beckham saw that Neville had succeeded in stealing the ball and immediately asked for the ball. No one was watching him. Good friends also passed the ball to him decisively.


    Turning the ball around, Beckham observes the situation. Harvey moves to his front, seemingly to block his forward or outgoing line. After Vicente lost the ball, he immediately counter-attacked and strode towards Beckham.


    Observing only in an instant, Beckham immediately passed the ball diagonally to the left front, Lampard came forward to catch the ball as expected, and then took the ball forward, and when it reached the midfield line, he passed the ball to Scole, who ran out of space. Sri Lanka, Ginger took the ball from the back of his head, directly kicked the ball and knocked the ball horizontally to the right. Seeing that the ball was going out of bounds, Neville brought the ball and rushed forward.


    "England''s counterattack looks smooth!"


    The English commentator at the scene sighed.


    Neville seems to be going all the way to black and has been driving the ball forward. When the center of Spanish defense shifted to his side, Neville began to choose the ball.


    McManaman, Scholes, and Beckham on his left are all shots, but if it is passed to Beckham, it is equal to a pass, and the attack will become a positional battle.


    So he passed it to McManaman, who seemed to overlap with Scholes in the running position, both on the right side of the middle, but the two also attracted the attention of the Spanish midfielder and defender.


    The ball only stopped at the foot of McManaman for less than a second, then he traversed to the left side, where Lampard rushed from behind and left unmarked. Shot space.


    Spain¡¯s defense line was facing the enemy, and it was clearly exposed, just centered on the right, and now leaned to the left. During the swing, Scholes, who saw the stitch, inserted forward, Lampard scored the ball and passed to the Coles.


    The English fans were all excited. Looking down at the overall situation, they could clearly see that Lampard attracted the attention of the opposing center defender, Husky attracted the attention of the other central defender, and Scholes inserted from the middle. Ran away from Albelda, got the ball, and went forward, it must be a single-handed ball!


    Scholes did receive the ball and took a step diagonally, but this one was a bit big and the shooting angle was not very good, especially not conducive to his leg swinging force, but Ginger Head noticed that Yero gave up. Skye rushed towards him, so he knocked the ball across and sent it to Husky from between Hierro''s legs.


    Husky, faced with this golden opportunity to make the hearts of Spanish fans jump to his throat, kicked a heavy shot and flew...


    There was a huge sigh at the scene, probably made by the English fans collectively.


    Aldridge''s expression was normal with both hands on his hips.


    Inwardly, he was sighing.


    Black Panther Husky has body, speed, can do ball, can cover.


    In addition to being unable to compliment the ability to seize opportunities, he has no obvious shortcomings.


    "What a good chance! A better chance than a penalty! If it is Irving, the goal will definitely be scored! Hall should now regret it, why didn''t he play Irving? Why? Yes, why? But this time The offense still made our eyes shine. England launched the attack from the backcourt, through a smooth ground pass, from Beckham, after, Lampard, Scholes, Neville, completed right to left, left to right , And in the dangerous zone in front of the penalty area, Neville passed to McManaman, Lampard, Scholes, Husky, and then another right-to-left and then to the right offensive advancement route, so repeatedly passed back and forth , Effectively tearing the Spanish defenses and creating confusion for opponents, Hall¡¯s national team debut, indeed let us see what he brought to the England team is different."


    Popular understanding is naturally that the straight line between the two points is closest.


    But on the football field, attacking from the backcourt, looking directly at the most forward point, it is not without, but modern football plays like this, the success rate is obviously very low, especially the competition between top teams, the traditional long pass of England, but also It is such an idea that the most direct way to attack is the most threatening area, that is, the opponent''s restricted area. This trick wants to make a difference on the international stage. This year, it is difficult, even if it is the best today. Player, playing this way, there is no future.


    Ground propulsion is the most effective, otherwise, organized players are not valuable.


    However, the difficulty of ground advancement is that the contact point is stared to death during the advancement process, or is slowed down to allow the opponent sufficient time to arm.


    The counter-attack made by England just now did a good job of two points. When pushing forward, every ball is almost forward. The ball runs faster than people. Even if it is not going in a straight line, it also ensures that the opponent can¡¯t have There is plenty of time to adjust the defense line. The second point is the coordination of passing and running. During the process of moving back and forth diagonally, Lampard and Neville stepped forward and the impact point and the contact point were probably unexpected in Spain, especially the small one. After Baye played the ball and did not press the half, Vicente and Harvey were both a little surprised. When they realized that Neville stepped forward and answered, it was too late to return to defense.


    Millwall''s most powerful attack on the Trident is when the attacker suddenly cut inwards, as if two sharp knives were inserted diagonally into the opponent''s ribs, causing a fatal attack.


    The final attack on England¡¯s offensive end, however, went the opposite way. The forward and forward attacking players in the forefront were like two shields, attracting the opponent¡¯s double central defenders, tearing open the penalty area, and two fronts. Players with one of the waists or lower back are the killers.


    Just now Lampard and Husky have actually completed the shield''s attention-grabbing effect, but Scholes failed to adjust his shot chance. Although he had a better chance to pass to Husky, if If the offense can be smoother, Scholes should directly adjust the shot after the ball is inserted in the front, but unfortunately, he made the ball bigger.


    Aldridge was pacing on the sidelines and still felt uncomfortable.


    It''s not that the team didn''t score, but Spain disrupted his plan.


    The new officer assumed three fires, and he wanted to throw out a fire to temper the defense first.


    Camacho watched the game more and more startled.


    Today he sent a lot of newcomers to play. It is a certain adventure, but the adventure of the friendly game is always more cost-effective than the adventure of the qualifier.


    Leaving aside Fleet Street and the expectations of English fans for Aldridge, the media of other major European football powers have different opinions on Aldridge''s taking over the national team.


    There are not many people who look down on him, this is not jealous, but lists a lot of theoretical basis.


    Aldrich is good at using his own people. He is a player he is familiar with and cultivated in one hand. This can be seen from the number of times Millwall transferred to the market to become a famous star.


    In the English national team, none of the players who can play an important role on the offensive end was trained by Audridge. He understands it, but how to use it is a question.


    Coupled with the outside analysis of Millwall''s success, the most intuitive offensive wingers chilled the entire Europe, but does England have a winger?


    No!


    After all, to win or to score, the offense must have some power. The offensive in England is unconvincing, and Audridge does not have a handy suitable player. With the club''s record, it is wishful thinking that he can make the England national team change. Strong? It is too arbitrary.


    In this game, other European media are naturally paying attention, and see what Aldridge does after taking over an unfamiliar team in the short term.


    Camacho first had a personal experience.


    On the scene, Spain''s advantage gradually lost, and the offensive fell into the quagmire before advancing to the restricted area on the side of England. While England''s counterattack, in the case of having a large area of ??space, their forward shocks frequently created threats, but just He hanged slightly at the door.


    Spain''s defensive strategy of limiting the offensive from the midfield cannot completely prevent England''s offensive point.


    Beckham, Lampard, Neville, Ashley Cole, these four can all rush forward, but who is going to rush, Spain does not know, in fact, the England team itself does not know, after all, the situation on every attack It¡¯s different, who¡¯s position is good, who¡¯s path is more unobstructed, whoever rushes again, the first one rushes, and the teammates on the other side also echo, which is a manifestation of the flexible change of attack One, and in the frontcourt, Scholes has undoubtedly the ability to run and coordinate. The series attack is very good. McManaman has a larger range of activities than Scholes. Wherever he has time, he will go where he is. When the offensive advances to the penalty area, McManaman will enter the penalty area to form a point that threatens the goal, or attract the attention of defensive players to cover other teammates.


    Camacho is considering whether to make a large-scale substitution in the midfield to reverse the decline. Spain even has a sense of sight at home.


    Aldridge frowned as he stood on the sidelines.


    Strange!


    Obviously, there is more room for counterattack and smoother coordination, but it is impossible to score!


    He knew there was still room for improvement in the offense, but today he was caught flat-footed by Spain, but never kept scoring goals, making him feel speechless.


    He turned back and asked Boaz: "How many times have we shot?"


    "11 times, within 7 feet of the goal!"


    "How long are you?"


    "3 feet, 2 feet hit the goal range."


    Aldridge didn''t think about it anymore. It seems that although Irving''s ability to play on the front line is not satisfactory, as far as this team is concerned, Irving is the most powerful striker.


    Offensive, offensive and violent, still need a final word, Husky is a bit unattainable in this respect, Scholes and McManaman are not really Indian shooters, Lampard, Beckham The long-range shot cannot be a regular scoring method.


    Aldridge looked back at the bench and tried to give Alan Smith some chance in the second half.


    At this moment, the members of the coaching staff in England all smiled and stood up and applauded.


    Aldridge reacted immediately and looked around. Sure enough, England scored!


    Isn''t it?


    Lao Tzu''s first A-level international event after taking office, did not witness the process of scoring goals for the first time!


    McManaman has trot to celebrate with his teammates high-five, he is the center, it seems that he scored.


    Aldridge applauded and his expression was slightly better, but he was not excited. He just wanted to ask the assistant after the celebration period had passed.


    How did this ball kick into the gate of Spain?

 Chapter 556： Faceless opponent

    "McManaman calmly pushed the far corner to score! England scored a goal that seemed to have luck, but this came from the tenacious fighting of the Three Lions! Looking back at this goal, the process originated in Spain. Midfielder Harvey turned away from being intercepted by Lampard in the face of pressure from Scholes. Lampard launched a counterattack on the spot and passed the most forward Husky. Husky passed the middle back. When empty, McManaman won a single-handed opportunity against offside, good shot!"


    Aldridge nodded slightly after understanding the whole process of scoring.


    England is not without organized players, Scholes can do this job, but the position on the field and the original intention of the tactical design are slightly contradictory.


    To better organize the offensive, Scholes'' position must be withdrawn. In the attacking avant-garde area, the defensive pressure will be extremely great. Moving Scholes'' position backward will weaken his opponent. The threat of the goal, therefore, in the requirements of positional warfare, Aldridge does not expect England to play a three-pass two-point small range of exquisite cooperation, that is unrealistic, positional warfare, frontal attack, simple and clear, can achieve success, fight No, it doesn''t matter, but more important is the rhythm of the offensive and defensive transition.


    When turning from attack to defense, the forward retreated to the area between the opposing defender and the midfielder, harassing the midfielder and also waiting for the opportunity to prepare to move forward again.


    The most important thing is to conduct a roundup in the midfield and destroy the opponent''s counter-attack. This is not a dead demand. Once the opponent passes the ball, the player will immediately return to the defense, from the local anti-robbery to the back static defense. Formation, and then face the offense again.


    Six years later, the ball under Harvey''s feet may be difficult to break, especially in the midfield area, but now, he is still a bit young and inexperienced.


    The first priority after the successful counter-robbing is to play speed, to decisively deliver the ball, don''t hesitate, this goal just reflects this, especially McManaman did not receive the ball after Frank Lampard''s goal, but he was not Rushing forward without hesitation, Husky''s assist was just right, and the Spanish back line was caught off guard in almost 3 seconds.


    This is the strengths and shortcomings of Aldridge''s tactical arrangement. England is not good at playing patiently positional battles. The most important thing in this set of tactics is to counterattack, launch counterattacks from the backcourt, and block the other party''s offensive from the midfield.


    The English fans of Mestalla cheered and the Spanish fans were suffocated.


    Great luck in England!


    Camacho looked serious on the sidelines.


    England played very concisely on the court today, and obviously played the speed. The change of the offensive point is the basis to guarantee the speed. Otherwise, according to the previous 442, the counterpoint mark is easily restricted to death.


    At the end of the half, the whistle sounded, and players from both sides walked into the player''s tunnel.


    Aldridge and Klinsmann walked and chatted, preparing to pick up players at halftime.


    "Have you found a problem?"


    "Ok?"


    Aldridge looked to Klinsmann, and the other thought about it: "Today players are very determined on the court, but they are a bit rigid."


    Aldrich nodded and said: "Yes, it is indeed too much to pursue ground transfer. Some good opportunities are not seized in the first place. They can use long passes to instigate the offensive, but the players seem to have only the routine of rapid advancement of short ground passes. Wait a minute and talk to them."


    "At least this is a relief for the national team. Tactical discipline is stronger than the club''s players."


    "It should be related to fewer games and the importance of the game. There are always some games in the club that make players pay less attention."


    After returning to the locker room, Aldridge found that almost none of England''s internationals were idle, and expressed their opinions in groups to discuss the game.


    Southgate was talking to the defenders about the defense problems in the first half. It was a fact that he was not scored, but it does not mean that there is no problem in defense. Occasionally, players are out of position, exposing the empty, but Spain did not catch Opportunity only.


    Scholes and McManaman are also communicating. Although both of them are at the waist, the roles they can play are different. Most of the time, McManaman is pulling the sideways to find time, and the scope of activities is larger. Coles wants to tandem the offensive.


    The ideal situation is that the two can switch roles at any time. In a wave of offense, there are tandem assists, and some are transformed into shadow forwards. This requires more communication between the two.


    Aldrich wanted to give them some time to communicate internally. This is a good phenomenon. A successful team must discuss the game internally, point out the mistakes and shortcomings of teammates, and then solve the problems to create a good Atmosphere within the team.


    However, he found that the players did not seem to stop.


    Beckham also used his hand to indicate the route to Neville to set the route after the offense, how to cooperate, how to create a threat and so on.


    "Cough cough cough."


    After 5 minutes, Aldridge had to speak out to remind them.


    The players in the locker room seemed to be refreshed this time, realizing that the game was only played at halftime. At this time, it was time to listen to the coach.


    Everyone immediately sat on the ground, looking at Aldridge, waiting for his tactical adjustment.


    In fact, Aldridge has nothing to adjust. The first is the friendly match. Secondly, there will definitely be changes in Spain in the second half. Camacho will not sit back and watch such a homeless game at home. The performance of the qualifier king today is really unsatisfactory.


    Spain will change, and any targeted deployment by Aldridge may fail at this time.


    "How do you feel about the 45-minute game?"


    "not bad!"


    Many players immediately answered Aldrich''s question.


    He drew a tactical board, drew a basic formation, briefly described the road map of the team''s counterattack in the first half from the backcourt, basically based on ground penetration and penetration, but the response point is in every attack different.


    "This kind of offense played well in the first half, but I hope that players in the midfield and backcourts, especially those with a long pass success rate, pay attention. I did not require you to play short passes point to point. After observing the situation in the frontcourt, If you find that there is a better response point in the frontcourt, you should decisively use a long pass to launch a threatening attack. In this way, we can sprint at full speed after inserting the assist team, instead of slowing down the response and restarting, so that the attack can be further improved. The speed of advancement."


    The players nodded, in fact, Aldrich was telling Beckham and Lampard, Ashley Cole and Gary Neville that the long pass success rate was not within a guaranteed accuracy range Inside.


    But he still said in front of the team, but also reminded the frontcourt players not to think that every attack is to pass from point to point in the backcourt, to have the awareness of running without the ball in the first place.


    Aldridge emphasized the main points of the midfield anti-robbing, and then, let the players clean up the jersey shoes, preparing for the second half of the game.


    Spain, really made a substitution in the midfield.


    Camacho replaced the three players who attacked in the midfield and frontcourt in one breath.


    Harvey was replaced by Belleron, Joaquin was replaced by Mendieta, and Vicente was replaced by Enrique.


    Belleron, known as Zidane of Spain, Mendieta and Enrique, Valencia and Barcelona stars, now look at it, but it is a bit of the power of the qualifier king.


    Aldridge''s eyes looked at Camacho slightly resentfully.


    You should be so good before the game.


    Now, after playing in the half, Spain is behind, and the English team is in high spirits, even if we don¡¯t count in the first half, the half-time dividing line, but this replaced person, enter the game, the body is excited, can be on the same starting line ?


    Behind the first half, the resistance encountered in the midfield was huge. Camacho let Spain''s frontcourt formation close back. This time, the midfield confrontation became more intense.


    Belleron is expected to improve the offensive in the Spanish midfield, but his weakness is the confrontational softness. In the face of Scholes and Bart''s front and back, Scholes actively robbed, Bart Obey Aldrich''s decree positively, wait until Belleron gets rid of Scholes before he moves.


    Belleron pulled the ball horizontally, but could not get rid of Scholes. Instead, Scholes came to him and formed two gates with Bart.


    Take the ball, two sideways, Beckham and Lampardka are on the line, and Belleron passes the ball to the right. The pass is really accurate. Unfortunately, Mendieta did not stop the ball. To stop and pass over Lampard, the person turned and the ball went out of the sideline.


    Lampard immediately backed away and opened the distance to Mendieta. Ashley Cole came up and served the sideline directly to Lampard.


    Mendieta and Belleron immediately came to grab him, Lampard passed diagonally back to the side, Ashley Cole stepped forward and launched a counterattack. At the same time, Lampard retreated to ensure this side of the defensive zone The security of Ashley Cole can also provide a backhaul point for Ashley Cole when his progress is blocked.


    Ashley Cole only took two steps to pass the ball to the midfield. Beckham, who struck the meteor forward, received the ball, observed the situation in the frontcourt, and then went straight over the top.


    Husky and McManaman seem to have overlapping running positions. Both of them attack the left side of the penalty area. This is also the offensive end Aldridge''s request. The striker and the front waist can press a little at the same time and attack strongly. If the defender does not come to assist defense, then 2 hits 1 or 2 hits 2 have an advantage forward. If another opponent''s center defender comes to assist defense, then the other side will be free.


    The pass was deep and the pass was deep. Husky couldn''t catch up, but McManaman shook off the opponent''s central defender and received the ball just after entering the penalty area line, but because he stopped the ball, he slowed down. Obviously unable to start to form a single-handedly, at the same time, another central defender has rushed towards him, McManaman passed the ball to the other side.


    Scholes hit the ball and took a step while catching the ball, but this time he adjusted well, shot with his right foot, and the ball flew into the goal cleanly.


    Casillas threw the ball, but his strength was too great. After touching his finger, he didn''t change the flight path of the ball too much.


    "Eight minutes into the second half, England led Spain 2-0 away! Beckham launched a quick counterattack in the midfield and found McManaman with a long pass. The latter assisted Scholes to break the goal. Today''s England is easy to play And it is efficient. Both goals reflect the speed of the counterattack. Hall¡¯s national team debut is satisfactory so far. At least from the scene, England does not lose to the opponent, the number of shots The number of dangerous offenses is higher than that of Spain at home, which gives us reason to expect the England team led by Hall to do something in the future!"


    The England team ran to the corner flag to hug Scholes. They laughed unscrupulously. Today''s game made them feel at ease and extremely happy.


    Aldridge still clapped and lost his hands behind him. The friendly match was nothing exciting. Moreover, his opponent Spain didn''t give a face, and he stumbled.


    However, the team''s performance is commendable, but the distance grinding into a combined type, really to achieve the offensive and defensive free, there is a long way to go.

 Chapter 557： Restore confidence

    The sunny city of Europe, the evergreen season of Valencia, who can not love it?


    Even in the cold autumn night, in the stadium where tens of thousands of people gather, Aldridge can still feel the refreshing breeze, making the whole person full of energy, commanding a stress-free game on the sidelines, the tension is Lack some, but can enjoy the fun brought by this job.


    The field-tested star plays on the field, Aldridge only observes on the sidelines, without shouting and directing them how to play. This kind of work is often when he leads young and inexperienced players. do.


    His tepidness made Mestalla''s Spanish fans unpredictable. It seems that the young coach is unpredictable, and the skill of planning is difficult to estimate.


    England, the previous five games, three European Cup 1 wins and 2 losses group out, the World Cup European zone qualifiers 1 draw and 1 loss, especially the last game also lost at home, against this background, today, Audridge England led by the away, two goals ahead of Spain, and prevailed in the scene!


    Whether it is a European fan or a media with a questioning mentality, in the first 60 minutes of a friendly match, Aldridge himself did not have an idea of ??who to fight back, but he has already managed to shut up the questioners.


    In the 60th minute, Aldridge stood on the sidelines, the assistant referee held a substitution card, and England made substitutions, three at a time.


    Alan Smith, Joe Cole, Gerald, three players came on to replace Husky, McManaman, Scholes.


    When the replaced player walked out of the field, Aldridge stretched out his right hand on the sidelines, and the replaced three walked past him and patted his palm.


    After this substitution, England almost became an engineering regiment.


    Scholes and McManaman are all players who can control the ball. Smith and Gerald are on the field. Aldridge is out of trying ideas. Look at the role of Smith on the front line and give Jay Ladd has more freedom in the frontcourt, and Joe Cole is experienced. He comes to play the role of Scholes. In the frontcourt, there must be at least one player who can get rid of the ball.


    60 minutes seemed like a watershed. Spain eased the pressure and began to take the initiative on the active field. It frequently put pressure on the English back line. The other side of England''s attack was not as smooth as before.


    Routines can be played out. Unfortunately, Joe Cole and Gerrard are not as capable of taking the ball in the frontcourt as Scholes and McManaman, so the offense often falls prey to the frontier of the penalty area.


    Spain has regained its oppressive offensive football style. The number of shots has increased significantly. The delicate and smooth coordination has rejuvenated. However, it has not obtained an excellent scoring opportunity. The shots in the area of ??the big penalty area are stable and saved by Seaman. Make sure that the city gate is not lost.


    In any case, Seaman was the most powerful goalkeeper in England during this period. The 37-year-old goalkeeper did not stand a stronger test today. Just like Millwall¡¯s Bout, the success rate of the god-level saves is not obvious, but the The saved ball, no one missed.


    Smith and Gerrard have invested more in defense, and the characteristics of the two desperately Saburo are hardly an advantage in Aldrich''s eyes.


    This should be done on the pitch, but skillful spelling is preferable.


    However, when defensive pressure is high, offensive players can actively participate in defense, which is better than no defense.


    Perhaps the English fans at the scene became nervous because England began to be beaten by Spain, but Aldridge was actually happy.


    A wave of frontal offense was played, and the defense was successful. This is nothing to be fussed about. Two or three times in a row, and the continuous oppression of the attack is like a wave, which is the focus of a team''s defense.


    Today, Spanish striker Raul and Tristan seem to lack a tacit understanding. When the continuous offensive continued to tear the English defense line, Spain won two good opportunities, but Tristan and Raul did not form a pass and run. The ball knocked back for Raul who wanted to complete 2 over 1 and forced a shot. Tristan headed a ferry to Raul, but the other party did not realize that the start was slow and missed the excellent scoring opportunity in front of the goal.


    Aldridge looked at the team''s defense on the sidelines. It can be said that England''s midfield and backcourt defense system is a combination of Millwall and Manchester United.


    Neville, Beckham, Bart.


    Southgate, Ashley Cole, Lampard.


    Plus a former Millwall player Ferdinand.


    In the formation, Manchester Contact is responsible for the right + center, and the Millwall Department is responsible for the left.


    This ensures that players in the local defense are more tacit, and it is easier to communicate defense cooperation.


    In the process of being torn by the opponent''s continuous large-scale transfer of the ball, Southgate directed the movement of the rear defense. He was the lubricant that Mann contacted with the Millwall department and was the leader of the defense.


    For the time being, the effect is not bad. In the successful cooperation of the Spanish penetration, it is basically a defensive injury of the English team, such as Bart¡¯s defensive ability, and the obvious strength of Lampard and Ashley Cole. Too weak, Beckham occasionally made defensive errors in his new position.


    Among these factors, in addition to Bart''s personal ability can not be improved in the future, there is a lot of room for improvement. As long as the improvement can be improved, the quality of the team''s defense will also be improved a lot.


    Time passed by one minute and one second, Spain was unable to score goals, and their formation at home was getting higher and higher.


    Enrique was blocked by Beckham in the side pass. Neville stepped forward to grab the ball falling from the air and Enrique knocked Neville back from the foul.


    Before Neville got up, Beckham had already put the ball on the spot and directly sent the ball to the court with a long pass.


    Yi Mapingchuan''s frontcourt, a very weird scene.


    England striker Smith is not at the forefront, instead Joe Cole caught the ball in front of two central defenders.


    He knocked the ball back to Smith, who was in the back position, and then moved laterally to pull out the free and then catch the ball. At the same time, he completed the turn, followed by a straight over the top.


    When Beckham launched a long pass, Gerrard, who ran all the way forward, succeeded in countering offside and another single-handed ball!


    With the dribble combined with the ball, Gerald''s speed is definitely not good, but Joe Cole is behind the top, Gerald started in advance, and the speed has been mentioned as the highest in the anti-offside. The opponent''s defender turned and chased, obviously slower .


    Aldridge wanted to see if Gerrard''s ability to handle this kind of single-handed ball was calm enough, and whether he had another way to complete the goal.


    However, Spain did not make Aldridge do what he wanted.


    Casillas attacked, and just after entering the penalty area, Gerrard forwarded the ball and felt like a big trip, but he was knocked down by Casillas.


    The referee decisively punished Casillas for a foul and fingered the penalty.


    Mestalla sounded a boo, and Spanish fans thought Gerrard had lost the ball and lost control of the ball. It must have been a fake!


    Aldridge crossed his hips and appeared to be sullen.


    This ball is a penalty. There is no doubt that even if Gerrard made a big trip, Casillas did not touch the ball. If Gerrard was not knocked down, catching the ball is kicking the empty goal.


    It doesn¡¯t make much sense to score one more goal in a friendly match. Gerrard scores a penalty. The result looks good, but he can change the angle. If he is calmer and more capable of handling this kind of ball, the ball has now flown into the gate.


    Aldrich arranged for the national team in the training content, a penalty is a must-have project.


    This is also to make up for tactical shortcomings. If you encounter a top strong team with a defensive focus, it is normal to drag penalties into international competitions. You need to practice more penalties. The content of training will be cost-effective.


    Beckham, the team''s deputy, stood in front of the penalty spot, with 4 minutes left in the regular game time. This penalty was at best a sprinkle of salt on the Spanish wound.


    Beckham took a penalty.


    "3:0! Who could have thought of such a score before the game? The pessimistic argument before Fleet Street was obviously wrong, and England led Spain 3-0 away!"


    Camacho lost his expression and occasionally glanced at Aldridge. This is the first time the two have met. I am afraid there will not be many chances to meet again in the future. Camacho paid a price for his underdog or wishful training and debugging tactics. Friendly match It doesn''t matter, but it will inevitably lead to a storm of public opinion. His honeymoon with the Spanish media seems to be coming to an end.


    When the whistle sounded at the end of the match, Aldridge took the initiative to find Camacho and shook his hand, then turned around and walked towards the player channel. As a result, he was blocked by a group of reporters.


    "Mr. Hall, this is your first official game of coaching the England national team. England won the Spanish 3-0 away without being optimistic. Are you satisfied with the team''s performance? This score is in England''s next World Cup What impact did the qualifiers have?"


    Aldrich looked away and looked casually: "As I answered in an interview with the media before the expedition, this is just a friendly match. The victory or defeat is not important. I regret that the Spanish national team does not seem to take this seriously. In the game against England, we sent the strongest players, but they did not. My players and I attach great importance to the quality of this friendly match. Therefore, in the game, my players invest more and work harder. That¡¯s why we won, but when it comes to the World Cup qualifiers, that¡¯s another situation. Today¡¯s victory will allow us to regain confidence. Others, it¡¯s too early to draw conclusions.¡±


    "We see that England has adopted a new technical and tactical approach today. Is this a change you brought to the England national team?"


    "This is of course. Every head coach has his own style. If I can¡¯t inject new elements into the England national team, especially the changes in technique and tactics, then I won¡¯t be the national team coach. I am very happy that the players accepted my tactical philosophy and implemented it firmly on the court. We have a good foundation for cooperation and the start looks very beautiful, but this is just the beginning, the road ahead is still long."


    Aldridge simply answered a few questions and stopped interviewing, and left.


    The whole England team was more excited after the game. They thought it was a hearty victory. Teammates gave each other high-five hugs and celebrations. The position was more backward but there were still a lot of limelight. Beckham also took off the jersey and the other side. Exchange, show off the muscles.


    A friendly match with Spain restored the England national team''s confidence from the previous defeat in the European Cup and the poor performance of the World Cup qualifiers. Every player''s eyes looked bright and full of expectations for the future, and that After the game they invariably looked for the figure with their eyes: Aldridge was a source of confidence.


    Regardless of black cats and white cats, being able to catch mice is a good cat.


    The England national team''s new tactics were indeed suppressed miserably at certain times in the game, but the power of the counterattack also made them feel fascinated.


    Next, the World Cup qualifiers are on!

 Chapter 558： The Three Lions set sail!

    As soon as the friendly was over, the England national team flew back to London that night. During the flight, the players who had just experienced an international game were still very excited. At this time, letting them rest, psychological need a "cooling down period".


    The national team had a short time together, and Audridge made full use of every minute. At this time, the players were doing nothing. Simply, he and the coaching staff analyzed the game with the players on the plane. Without the video, the coaching staff Take notes while watching the game, and take note of the key points. At this time, take them out to study with the whole team. I hope the players will write them down and digest themselves.


    After the work of analyzing the game was over, the fatigue of the players hit like a wave, and the cabin became quiet. Aldridge sat alone by the window, recording some game gains or improvements in his notebook. local.


    Suddenly someone sat down next to him. He turned his head to look around and saw it was Alan Smith, so he closed the notebook and asked, "Is there something wrong?"


    Today is the debut of the Alan Smith National Team. The performance is not bad, the defense is very hard, the harassment work is in place, and Gerald¡¯s penalty, he played a role in creating a chance for Joe Cole¡¯s fatal pass.


    Alan Smith whispered quickly and said bluntly: "Coach, I want to say two words to you. First, when Leeds United and Millwall played against me last season, I spit at you. Now, I formally apologize to you, hope You can accept it. Second, thank you for recruiting me into the national team and giving me the chance to play."


    Aldridge didn¡¯t change his face and said indifferently: "Well, I will also say a few words to you. First, it is normal for men to have a temper, but as a professional player, controlling their emotions is one of the requirements for professional literacy. It''s easy to get angry, but you have to consider the consequences. Putting on a jersey to enter the game, the team''s interest is the first. If you think that venting anger can help the team, then you can do it firmly, but in fact Quite the opposite. Second, entering the national team does not mean anything. I am sure that you will cherish such opportunities, but just cherish them. It is not enough. You have to work hard to improve your contribution to the team. I believe you have such determination. So, work hard Don¡¯t let yourself down."


    Alan Smith was silent for a while, as if thinking, and finally nodded and got up to leave.


    Aldridge bowed his head in contemplation.


    In fact, he never paid any attention to Smith''s disrespectful behavior. How many games did he lead the team throughout the year? How many players have you seen? On the court, outside the court, there are no players, fans, riots, but there are still a lot of conflicts. Living his own life and doing his own work, he really can''t commit Smith to his heart.


    Simply speaking of the player Smith, Aldridge does not expect him to be a killer of the England national team.


    His goal efficiency is not even a first-rate striker.


    Aldrich is interested in his hard work, if defined in terms of roles, then, it is more appropriate: defensive forward!


    Forming harassment on the front line, coupled with his ability to play ball, making wedding dress for others is his biggest contribution.


    Thinking of Smith, Aldridge couldn''t help but sigh.


    This man''s career is regrettable. In addition to being kicked and severely injured by a heavy artillery, the unsuccessful transformation by Ferguson at Manchester United is also a watershed career.


    What is the most lacking forward who can fight and grab and transform into Keane like a midfielder?


    It takes a long time to develop a good sense of position. Although Smith is desperately Sanlang, but the defensive players of Zhengyin, actively fighting sometimes has disadvantages and benefits. Just like the Italian defender, he never minds to give the opponent''s forward space and turn. Space, they are so outrageously calm, look at the right time to start, and unlike England''s defensive players, Ruying would like to change into dog skin plaster sticking to the opponent.


    Midnight when the plane landed in London, Aldridge gave the players a day off, let them go home to reunite with their families, have a good rest, and then began preparing for the World Cup qualifier with Albania.


    Aldrich came home alone, crippled when he entered, not wanting to disturb his family, but when he walked into the living room, he heard the noise from the children upstairs.


    He hurried upstairs and pushed open the door of Burt and Earl, and saw that Ewen in pajamas was trying to coax two little guys to sleep with toys, but Burt and Earl were very upset.


    Burt kept throwing football in the fenced crib, like entertaining himself, but if the ball was thrown out, he would make a lot of noise, and someone had to bring the ball back to him.


    Earl jumped up and down like dancing on another bed, most of the night without sleepiness.


    "Sometimes they are angels, sometimes they are like little demons..."


    Aldridge lamented, and Yiwen suddenly turned around. She was almost dizzy, turning back to let Earl go to sleep, and to help Burt to pick up the ball.


    Seeing Aldridge, she smiled bitterly: "Yeah, maybe this is inherited from you."


    Aldrich took off his suit and walked to Earl¡¯s bed, coaxing him to sleep. Ewen was a lot easier. Now he just plays with Burt.


    "I watched the game live, why don''t you seem excited on the sidelines? Is it because of pressure?"


    "No, it''s depressed."


    Yi Wenhan said with a smile: "Well, seeing the starting list of the Spanish national team, I also feel depressed for you, as if being despised."


    "Yeah. Even if I won, what will happen? It feels like a victory."


    "Oh, but I think the coach of the Spanish national team must be more depressed than you are now."


    "Hahahaha, besides being depressed, he should have other troubles..."


    After Burt was exhausted and started to fall asleep, Aldridge went to take a bath. When he came back in pajamas, Earl was also coaxed into sleep by Ewen.


    Aldrich wrapped Ewen''s waist from behind, resting his chin on her shoulders, saying, "Please nanny?"


    "Hush."


    Yiwen turned and pulled him out of the room lightly and lightly, turned off the lights, closed the door, and went out. On the way back to the bedroom, she smiled and said, "It''s not necessary, I''m not busy at work. I have time, as you said, Although the two little guys are sometimes like demons, they were still cute when they became angels. Earlier, when watching the game, Earl had been forcing me to eat the fruits he had handed me, and strangling me."


    Aldridge smiled and said nothing more.


    ...


    The following day, Fleet Street published the report of the England National Team friendly match, and the eye-catching news of the crowd was again very popular.


    "England tactically defeats Spain! ¡·


    "The Three Lions reunite unstoppable! ¡·


    "Hall activates England, England kicks off a new era!" ¡·


    This group of shameless people, no one mentioned it just a day ago, the theme of the newspaper on Fleet Street almost sang Aldridge, predicting that England will be defeated!


    Now that the English flag was victorious, they immediately reversed their positions, sang praises to England, and flattered Aldridge to kill people.


    However, some professional technical and tactical review articles still have reading value, pointing out the advantages and disadvantages of England''s new technical and tactical play, and the characteristics of players on the field.


    Like Beckham, the position shifted back, which not only gave way to Neville¡¯s non-conflicting side corridors, but also better inspired his long pass. He made a huge threat in the front field side pass, all opponents Everyone knows that he will naturally focus on marking, but he retreats from his position and suddenly launches a precise long pass when he turns from defense to offense, often creating a greater threat.


    England has reduced one striker to strengthen the midfield, the defensive hardness has increased, and in the counterattack it has also been clear and varied.


    The effect of Aldridge¡¯s work in just a few days at least gave people hope. As for how much they can do on the international stage, it is not easy to draw conclusions.


    In the morning, Aldridge woke up from bedtime. When he got up, Yiwen had already gone to work in the company, leaving a note at the head of the bed. He made a reservation at the restaurant at noon and agreed to have lunch.


    Aldrich got up and washed, first went to the two sons'' room and found that the two children were more energetic than their father and were already standing on the crib.


    Aldrich took them out and took them to the gym, allowing them to move casually on the carpet, but they were not active anymore, instead they sat there holding a baby bottle in the same motion, biting their pacifiers and looking up Aldridge on the treadmill.


    After running for twenty minutes, Aldridge was suddenly interrupted by the phone. He took a breath and answered the phone and found it was Ferguson.


    The old man of Scotland first congratulated his national team for his victory in the debut, and then slammed with Aldridge for a long time, confusing Aldridge.


    He almost said to the phone: What the **** do you call me!


    After chatting for almost fifteen minutes, Ferguson vaguely stated the main purpose of the call, most likely Aldridge guessed it himself.


    The main idea is actually a sentence: "Young handsome man, the national team plays a friendly game, don''t let the Manchester United players exhaust the whole game, right?"


    Aldridge felt crying and laughing when he hung up.


    Yesterday''s friendly match, Beckham, Neville played the whole game, Scholes played 60 minutes.


    Comparing his heart with his heart, Aldridge actually understands Ferguson. In particular, Manchester United¡¯s start this season is not particularly ideal. There are many internationals. The impact of the summer competition on the new season is more obvious. Which is like Millwall and Pirlo is on the bench. Nedved, Larson is simply a holiday, Ronaldinho? What do Brazilian players have to do with the European Cup?


    In addition, Manchester United''s main striker is still caught in the third edition of the girl''s off-court turmoil, and there is no sign of ending. Ferguson''s ambitious challenge to Millwall''s dominance in the new season is still difficult according to the current situation.


    Against this background, if Manchester United''s international team is tired of being a dead dog in the national team...


    Aldridge¡¯s personal coaching will not be affected by others, but from another perspective, the British script will consume a lot of energy in a season. When the conditions are loose, it is not impossible for the players to take a holiday in the national team and take a break. It is not impossible to treat Irving. , He did just that.


    The foundation is the most important thing only when the high-rise building is on the ground. At the beginning of his tenure, he must give the main frame enough playing time to run in. After the running-in period has passed, everything is fine.


    Putting on a casual outfit, Aldridge saw that there were not many ingredients in the refrigerator at home. He carried Burt and Earl into the stroller, put on a pair of fashionable sunglasses, and went out with two sons to purchase.


    The community level of his new home is not low, and everyone who can live here has a certain net worth, so even if he is a celebrity in the football circle, his neighbors will not make a fuss, just like ordinary people say hello, and occasionally there are communities The event brings everyone together. Aldrich is at best the focus of some fans'' neighbors, and it is not a special person.


    Ewen chose to live here, also taking this into account, neither leaving the community, but also not making this family into an alternative. When Aldridge slowly drove out, he greeted many neighbors passing by, and many people greeted him. A thumbs up probably commended him for leading the team to a good job yesterday.


    Aldridge responded with a smile, but he was thinking: If I lost the team yesterday, would it be the **** today?

 Chapter 559： England kicked into shit

    The national team rested for one day. The members of the national team adhered to the team rules set by Audridge. No player dared to show up in a nightclub and other entertainment venues and went home to rest in peace.


    After returning to the Leo training base and preparing for the World Cup qualifiers, the team''s mental outlook has undergone new changes, the spirit is uplifted, and all the spirits are vigorous.


    Although the friendly victory over Spain did not meet Aldridge''s desired training goal, the positive impact of the result was immediate.


    Training is easier, keeping the state is the main one. The national team is not like a club. Even though Aldridge feels that the players have room for transformation, he will not be targeted for training when the national team is training. Like Carragher, Aldridge wants to let him Play as a central defender as early as possible, but this job should be done by the Liverpool club. The national team has no such environment. It only takes a few days to train the players throughout the year.


    After a day of training, Aldridge left Beckham and Seaman behind.


    The two players were unknown, so they stood honestly in front of Aldridge waiting for instructions.


    "David, how many free kicks can you play in a minute?"


    Beckham thought back and said: "5-6."


    Aldridge nodded and said: "In the future, after the national team training, you practice a free kick for 15 minutes. Is there a problem?"


    Beckham agreed to it, but he felt a little puzzled.


    In addition to practicing free kicks, he often works in the club, or it is because he has worked **** this since he started training, and he now has the famed stunt of the B¨¦zier arc.


    Seaman naturally went to guard the goal. He thought he was a sparring partner. When he was his age, he said that he could increase his ability. This is not pure nonsense.


    Aldrich stipulated the distance of Beckham¡¯s free kick training, about 35 yards to 40 yards, let Boas help to put the football on the side and shoot from different angles.


    While Beckham was about to start training for a direct free kick, Aldridge pulled him and Seaman was already standing in front of the goal.


    "Coach, what else to say?"


    Beckham was confused, and suddenly came from a free kick, which is strange in the national team environment.


    Aldridge said softly to him: "There is a requirement to remember that before you take a free kick, first observe the position of the goalkeeper. If he is in front of you, you will hang the door, just hang the door, the other does not need to. , Even if there is a better angle, choose the hanging door, if he is in a reasonable position, then you can practice as you want."


    Beckham was confused, and asked: "Coach, is there any deep meaning?"


    Aldridge smiled inscrutablely: "Prepare for rain."


    Beckham shook his head, and was not interested in getting to the bottom, and he was right.


    Aldridge watched today''s "special training" on the sidelines.


    Seaman faced about 60-70 direct free kicks, about 5-6 of them. He stood slightly forward, Beckham''s hanging door succeeded once, and the others all flew.


    Aldridge never expects a word or two to change a player''s playing habits. The cumulative training is the most reliable.


    Seaman, the 2002 World Cup is not guaranteed, Ronaldinho was stunned, and Ronaldinho''s dazzling rainbow was achieved, and he became a sinner of the England national team.


    Can he correct his shortcomings in front of the long-range direct free kick, Aldrich does his best to see the future effects, after all, his shortcomings have been caught by opponents in the Premier League.


    Hopefully, the hanging door that Beckham deliberately deepened Seaman''s impression time and time again, making him vigilant.


    A few days later, the Albanian national team visited England.


    As usual, Aldridge attended the press conference. Within a week, his treatment was very different, and the atmosphere on the spot was extremely harmonious.


    And Aldridge has always been telling the truth. Today, his big truth makes Fleet Street mistakenly think that the young commander should be high-profile.


    "For tomorrow''s game, we have only one goal: to win. No other result can be accepted."


    Right, this is what the leader of the Three Lions should have!


    In addition to winning, all other shit!


    Aldrich is telling the truth and nonsense!


    England can''t win the weakest Albania in the group at home, why go to the World Cup? Oh no, can I still go to the World Cup?


    The first show, ah, Aldridge ushered in the first show, the national team debut.


    Although the current situation of the team is not good for England, the timing is good now. The team is in high spirits, playing at home, and the opponent is also weak.


    Wembley, such a huge game of strong and weak suspense, English fans still flocked, many officials of the FA also came to the scene, they can no longer be satisfied with the current situation of the national team!


    From an interest perspective, Aldridge and his coaching staff have very low salaries. After all, they play part-time jobs.


    But the benefits from Aldridge are huge, and all sponsors go directly to the FA to submit new sponsorship contracts!


    Aldridge¡¯s image, the appeal, and his legendary color as the youngest national team coach in history... can it not make money?


    Tickets for Wembley are much better than before.


    After the English friendly match victory over Spain, Football Association President Thompson even talked about it at the reception: hiring Aldridge to coach is the most correct decision!


    The goods can''t wait to take credit for themselves.


    "There is only one change in England''s starting game from the start of the last friendly match. That is the striker. Husky sits on the bench and Irving starts! There is no doubt that today''s England is stronger than the last game!"


    England fans sit relaxed in the Wembley stands, waiting to see the good show and enjoy a hearty victory.


    Spain, the king of the qualifiers, have been played three away by us, Albania? Sending 3 points is the most basic consumption, followed by a few more goal difference to make people satisfied.


    But 20 minutes after the start of the game, the English fans in the Wembley stands were dumbfounded.


    The score is 0:0.


    England seemed to show no signs of breaking the door, and threats offensively were also pitiful.


    On the scene, England has an absolute advantage, pressing the opponent to attack!


    Aldridge laughed on the sidelines.


    This group of Britons is just abusive!


    The difference between strength and weakness, Albania came to play away, retreat when coming up, is a normal choice, the strength is not good, then you can only use human tactics to ensure that the ball is not lost.


    And what are the players in England playing on the field?


    Oppressive attack!


    It''s true to play a team with a delicate play style, but England is not good at this kind of small-scale cooperation. It is suppressing the opponent, so what?


    Penetration straights are constantly being destroyed, and the ability to get rid of the ball is still lacking. The ball has been brought back and forth repeatedly from the front of the Albania penalty area to the front center.


    Albania broke the clearance and England scored again. Albania broke the clearance and England scored...


    4321 has almost become 2143.


    They couldn''t get in through such an infiltration play, and they started to cross again.


    Aldridge really wanted to kick Beckham''s ass!


    Who do you pass to?


    Irving at 1.72?


    Scholes at 1.74?


    Or is McManaman, who is the tallest at 1.84 in the frontcourt?


    People just put an intensive defense. If you pass in this way, there is not even a lot of empty space in the penalty area. Do they rely on confrontation and Jordan jumps to make a jump in the air relay?


    Before the game, Aldridge did make a death order in the locker room. This game must be won. The situation is so. Everyone knows that they do not win. I am afraid that even the qualification for the playoffs will be suspended.


    As for Albania''s style of play, Aldridge can also foresee that it is impossible for the opponent to come to Wembley to fight against England with a big sword. It is inevitable to focus on defense.


    Therefore, Aldrich emphasized that the oppressive snatching in tactics must be carried out firmly.


    Well, they performed very well, oppressive snatching, forwards, front midfielders almost encircled the opposing goalkeeper, and the midfielders and fullbacks also stepped forward to oppress.


    The effect is very good, Albania is too scared to dare to pass the ball in the backcourt, just keep the big foot forward.


    But the question is coming, the opponent just clears, what about the players? Naturally, I have been staying in the 30 yard area in front of the goal. There are no signs of loosening on the two defensive lines of the nine players. The remaining one striker is suffering. The teammates released him and rushed forward. Can''t touch the ball, it is estimated that he can cry in the toilet during intermission.


    How does Aldridge hope that the football game will be the same as the basketball game, let''s call a timeout?


    This group of internationals, the victory of the friendly match is back, the opponent''s strength is not dripping, I expect to be able to take the chance to brush the data and show a face, as a result, kicked into shit!


    Aldrich''s tactical essentials are completely forgotten.


    Aldridge took the opportunity of a sideline ball to reach the sideline. Beckham was dedicated. The ball was out of bounds and was immediately picked up.


    "David, wait."


    Beckham was probably in a state of excitement. He heard Aldridge call him. He turned his head and slipped his hands. The ball was thrown to Aldridge...


    The fans at Wembley were stunned.


    "Uh, Beckham serves the sideline and then throws the ball to out-of-bounds coach Hall. Is this an English soldier? But a team on the football field cannot have 12 players."


    The narrator was teasing, Beckham was embarrassed, and the referee awarded Albania the sideline.


    "Coach, what''s the matter? I..."


    Beckham said he was about to put in the game to defend, and Aldridge said to him lightly, "You come first, don''t care about the game, it''s mine to lose the ball."


    Beckham looked back, and Albania was indeed attacking. The forward, who was tired like a grandson, rushed forward, but there should be no play. Southgate has controlled the high altitude ball.


    Beckham rested his mind and walked off the field. Aldridge was reminded by the fourth official not to leave the area specified by the head coach, so he beckoned to Beckham and let him walk slowly back to the command area of ??the home team coach.


    The referee came to ask what happened to Beckham?


    Why did you play when you kicked? The fans in the stands and the audience watching the live TV were also stunned.


    Really wonderful.


    During the game, the head coach took the initiative to call a player out, and it looked very leisurely.


    Aldridge dealt with the referee at will, lied that Beckham felt unwell, and the team doctor wanted to check it out.


    Beckham took a breath and also picked up a bottle of water to replenish.


    "Coach, why did you call me out? Is there something wrong with me?"


    "Well, you all have problems."


    "Ok?"


    Aldridge asked Beckham to turn around, making his eyes look the same as his own, looking towards the situation in England''s frontcourt.


    "David, what did you see?"


    "Uh, we are attacking and the opponent is defending."


    "But what are we doing when the opponent is going to attack?"


    "Press defense, isn''t this what you asked for?"


    "When did I let you go to the opponent''s penalty area to carry out a defensive defense?"


    "Ok?"


    Beckham thought about it, and finally shook his head.


    Aldrich said in a deep voice: "When training, I always emphasized that the siege, anti-robbing, the key area is in the midfield, if it is in the frontcourt, do you think the third line of England can keep in touch? It¡¯s difficult for a stronger opponent to be penetrated layer by layer. Do you know why the Italian team doesn¡¯t pay attention to rob but uses chain defense?"


    "Because aggressively grabbing is easy to be broken one by one."


    "Yeah, the truth is the same, even if we play like this today and win, but this defensive strategy will definitely be ravaged by the top teams. Wait a minute, you will return to the field, tell all players, withdraw, when training If you ask for it, you can play as you please. Don¡¯t think it¡¯s easy to win because your opponent is weak. If you want to win this game, you can only win by luck. Did Michael Owen turn into Michael Jordan and break the header?"


    Beckham also felt that playing just now had no effect, just like the long pass in England, but there wasn''t even a high center on the field.


    He nodded and returned to the sidelines. After the referee allowed it, he ran into the court and passed on to tell the teammates the will of the coaches. After he conveyed the instructions from Audridge, he suddenly laughed.


    Irving turned into Jordan?


    The coach is really humorous.


    He didn''t think about whether his nerve reflex arc was too long, and it only took a while...

 Chapter 560： How great that should be!

    The football game focuses on one attack and one defense. If the attacking side enters the opponent''s threat zone with 5-6 players, the defending side can of course defend with 7, 8, or even 9, 10 players.


    This is understandable. The one-to-one number-balanced contest is the main melody on the football field a hundred years ago. Now, it is a team confrontation, not a personal duel.


    When the offensive and defensive transition occurs, the weaker side of the paper, if it is unable to organize the ground attack smoothly, the rules must require them to drive the ball out, then, the big foot is released to kick the ball forward and away from the goal dangerous area, this It is also normal.


    England''s stronger personal ability starts to press the defense from the front line, resulting in Albania can calmly free the ball every time the offense, the player does not rush forward, preparing for the next defense.


    No one else can blame them for their lack of offensive desire, which is the old-fashioned passive football!


    See?


    England players surround our penalty area, we can''t defend one by one, of course we have to hoard more players to defend, they press our back line, they dare not pass the ball in the backcourt, they can only make a big foot. It¡¯s not that we don¡¯t want to attack, it¡¯s the situation.


    Under such circumstances, the main battlefield of the game between England and Albania is in the opponent''s penalty area and outside the restricted area. The number of attacking and defensive sides is narrow in a narrow area. The attacking England''s offensive is fierce but not threatening.


    After Aldridge issued a command to the team through the deputy Beckham, England''s attack on the field ended, the frontcourt player immediately recovered to the midfield, taking the single arrow Owen as an example, he did not press the opponent''s center while defending Defender, but back to the opponent''s midfield line, leaving space for the opponent''s center defender to pass the ball, and the back linemates also withdraw in layers. At least, the Albanian defender line and the midfield line have no static formation at the kick kick So much pressure.


    In this way, can Albania continue to make a big foot and the players can stand in the backcourt without stopping?


    If this is the case, then they can be accused of playing negative football and putting on buses, "sinful evil"!


    Within five minutes, Albania scored two consecutive goal kicks, and England more easily controlled the landing point, then launched the attack forward, the player withdrew and then moved forward, smoothed a lot, and it was easier to hit the penalty area. Kicked the shot.


    Because they have room to accelerate from the back to the front, a brief explosive impact can make it difficult for opponents to prevent.


    McManaman and Owen''s shot flew with one foot, and was confiscated by the goalkeeper.


    After the attack, England immediately withdrew its defense.


    Albania glanced at this posture and could not figure out what the gang of rich and handsome England were thinking. There was no pressure on the offensive midfield and backcourt. The goalkeeper repeatedly gave the ball back to the opponent, so he began to try to play the ball safely.


    Albania passed from the back to the ground, England set an interception barrier in the midfield, Beckham once saw the right time to grab the ball and successfully intercepted the ball, then immediately passed the left side, Lampard started to move forward and received the ball to initiate the offensive .


    At this time, the formation of Albania is more scattered. When they attack, the formation will be deployed. The ball will be intercepted during the deployment. Now it has to be recovered immediately. The impact of the player''s ability makes their recovery speed as a whole not as fast as the offensive advancement of England. .


    Lampard pulled a free McManaman straight in front of him, McManaman, who turned his back to the opponent''s penalty area, made a beautiful non-stop cross pass, and accurately found Scholes, who shook off the opponent''s midfield defensive player. After Scholes steadily stopped the ball, a good pass from the ball was passed. Owen succeeded in the counter-offside and shot at the penalty spot with his right foot. The ball flew straight to the top left corner of the goal.


    Albania was completely destroyed by England''s fast break. The goalkeeper wanted to make a save, but in the end it just opened his palms and turned his head to look at the ball flying away.


    "Michael Owen! The goal is in! England has finally opened the door to victory. This attack is fast and effective, simple and deadly! We can clearly see that England''s fast attack rhythm after the successful steal is very fast, the ball forward is decisive and direct The coordination between players is also very clear, just like they destroyed the Spanish game, such goals are exciting!"


    Owen, who hadn''t played for more than a week, recovered well. His start timing and speed-up during anti-offside can be seen. After scoring, he rushed to the sidelines to accept the cheers of the fans, and his teammates rushed over to him. Hug.


    Aldridge''s offhand seemed careless behind him, but when the live camera captured his reaction, he found that he bowed his head and kicked the turf.


    Albania counts as a European fish-bellied team, and is still located in Eastern Europe. It is not the mainstream region of the European football circle. When you play away, you are basically given points.


    England wants to win this kind of game, in fact there is no difficulty, hard power can definitely be crushed.


    Speed, body, technology, etc. all have the possibility of crushing.


    But England''s defensive strategy at the beginning of the game directly caused the speed advantage to fail to play.


    The forward is pressing the opposing defender line, the defender line cannot be too far from the goal, and the midfield line also needs to be retracted to assist defense. This leads to the English attacking front line has no space to play speed, a small area with less technical advantages Not enough to crush, but for a strong attack, Aldridge just put on Husky, then put Ferdinand or Lampard on the front line, relying only on Beckham¡¯s right foot, a strong pass and a sure pass can finally be achieved Victory, this is a way of crushing.


    But in that case, the game has no meaning other than the result.


    The Albanian players are depressed.


    Pressed and madly attacked, he never lost the ball. England withdrew. They were just about to attack and tried. This test really scored. Unfortunately, England scored!


    When Albania reopened the ball, Aldridge looked up and his expression puzzled the audience in front of the TV.


    He smiled bitterly when the team didn''t score.


    When the team led, he frowned slightly.


    Aldridge was not dissatisfied with the goal, nor was he masochistic that he should be behind to be happy. He just wanted to see what England would do next.


    At the beginning of the opening, the unbridled pressure on the opening is understandable and can be tolerated.


    However, if the goal reappears after scoring and ignores the coach''s tactical requirements, then this team is not saved, and God can''t save it!


    Training obedient and game obedient are two different things, both of which are important. The former guarantees the team''s strength and quality, the latter ensures that the game is executed according to the coach''s tactical design.


    If Aldridge can¡¯t command this team, he would rather quit his job voluntarily. This can¡¯t be like a club, you can put the players into the cold house, and then look for the right. The best players in England are basically here, they can¡¯t. , Aldridge will not think he can make a difference in the international arena with another batch of obedient melons.


    Fortunately, Aldridge''s prestige is sufficient, and after his on-the-spot tactical order was issued, England soon converted his advantage into a goal. How dare players not accept it?


    Most of the players on the field now feel very magical, and Beckham smiles in his heart: Owen does not have to be Jordan.


    The England team continued to retreat while defending, decisively and quickly when attacking.


    In this way, the scene does not look like England is overwhelmed by the opponent at the beginning, but the offensive threat is to make the opponent almost breathless!


    Before the end of the first half, in the 43rd minute, England again broke the ball in the midfield and backcourt. Bart handed the ball to Lampard. The latter passed the wing diagonally. Ashley Cole from the sideline rushed along the wing. .


    On the other side, Beckham also rushed forward quickly, the two dribbling forward, one running forward without the ball, the position is almost parallel, after all, Ashley Cole can''t take the ball faster than Beckham''s direct sprint.


    After experiencing defensive pressure after halftime, Ashley Cole crossed the other side. In Aldrich¡¯s new tactical system, players are used to playing. As long as they keep their heads calm, they can basically know the fixed without watching. Where is the reception point? Of course, in the official game, it is normal to look up and determine the pass success rate.


    Beckham can no longer dribble forward after stopping the ball. If he dribbles again, the opponent''s defense will have enough time to shrink back to form a dense defensive iron barrel array.


    So Beckham passed straight to the front line, Irving, who took the ball from his back, did not turn around, bearing in mind Aldridge''s request to him.


    Pass the ball!


    In training, Aldridge made them understand the flexibility of this requirement.


    If it''s heading forward, Irving doesn''t have to turn around, that is, when the speed is guaranteed, he is faced with one or two defensive players, then, the chasing teenager can use his advantage to impact, failure does not matter, at least there is Hope for success.


    But if he is holding the ball on his back, he should not hesitate to pass the ball. No matter whether he turns or adjusts, the chance becomes unsatisfactory.


    At this moment, Owen directly handed the ball to McManaman who was rushing forward on the left.


    There were people around Scholes, and Scholes was rushing towards the middle of the penalty area.


    McManaman scored the ball when he rushed forward, without losing the speed and even drove directly into the penalty area to form a semi-single ball.


    Scholes dashed straight into the middle of the goal and Irving passed the ball to the right of the goal.


    McManaman pitched the ball on the left side, Scholes shoveled away, but short legs missed this point in the middle, but he attracted the attention of a defender and a midfielder. Interfering with the goalkeeper''s judgment, the goalkeeper all made a save, but Scholes did not touch the ball.


    There was only one defensive player beside Irving who was behind the goal. He also shoveled down. When the ball was about half a meter away from the goal post, he touched the ball to change the trajectory of the ball. The ball rolled slowly against the inside of the goal post.


    "Owen scored twice! Just when fans regretted that Scholes failed to put the ball into the goal, Owen ensured that this beautiful attack was not in vain at the back point! At 2:0, England will expand the lead and fans Don''t worry."


    The English fans in the Wembley stand cheered for the team''s second goal while cheering.


    3 points is considered stable.


    This is the first 3 points of the World Cup qualifier for England in this group.


    Although it is a fish-fighting team today, the negative impact of the national team in the past few months has been too heavy, and the fans are not optimistic, but seeing the changes in England after Aldridge took office, the fans were slightly in heart. Be practical.


    On the second goal, Aldridge smiled.


    He stood on the sidelines waiting for the end of the first half, and then walked into the player channel. At the end of the half, Wembley applauded and was very satisfied with the team''s performance in the first half.


    There is an absolute advantage in the scene. Although the first half looks rough, the second half is very ornamental. Especially the teamwork during the attack is impressive.


    It would be great if England played so well against all opponents!

 Chapter 561： Thank you

    The winning team does not adjust.


    In the intermission, Aldridge had nothing to say. The offense opened the situation, the score was two goals ahead, and the opponent was not strong. If he changed to a stronger team, under the same circumstances, he would also emphasize the spiritual level. Now, there is no need to praise players.


    Take Albania and take the win for granted. If you lose, take the **** head of your dog for granted.


    Before the start of the second half, Aldridge walked into the stadium and sat on the coach''s bench, drinking a sip, waiting calmly for the game to begin.


    Albania fell behind by two goals, and it didn''t make sense to stay there. The offensive enthusiasm was slightly improved, but the result was disastrous.


    This is also the limitation of the weak team. Once the goal is lost, they can only let go, lose and win, such self-consolation ass, and think about the players on the court. What would they think? He didn''t attack at all. He beat him for 90 minutes and then lost the game. He said to the public: We lose less, in fact, we win...


    Who is the number one star in England?


    Beckham.


    In the first half of Albania''s targeted deployment, Beckham''s marking was very high.


    However, in England''s two goals, Beckham did not actually appear in the most threatening area of ??the offense, but instead Lampard was more threatening on the other side.


    As a result, Albania''s restrictions on Beckham have dropped in the second half.


    In the 52nd minute, Lampard had no free time in front of him. Butt gave the ball to Beckham. Beckham and Scholes played 2 and 1 and then advanced to the right side of the frontcourt. Before being approached by the defensive player, 45 Pass.


    Owen Ding attracted defense in the middle of the penalty area, but the landing point was not with him. At the rear point on the left side of the penalty area, Beckham aimed at this point and passed.


    The opposing defender came to the top, and McManaman outflanked the ball with his right foot and blasted the ball into the goal.


    "In the first half of the second half, six or seven minutes, the England team scored another goal, Beckham assisted, McManaman scored a goal after the penalty area, 3: 0, lock the victory!"


    Aldridge''s chin rested on his face as he watched the English players on the court laughing and rushing to celebrate the uneasy expression.


    As he said during training, the England team must first have room to solve the offensive weakness, as long as they are not fighting in the dense area, they still have the ability to play a smooth offensive cooperation.


    It was not possible to play before. It is also related to the rigidity of the offensive point to a certain extent. It lacks flexibility. Just like the European Cup, staring at Irving and Hiller basically completes 70% of the offensive in England.


    After 8 minutes, McManaman pulled the ball to the left and passed a defensive player of the opponent. After attracting the two defensive players of the opponent, the ball was cut back to the left rib of the penalty area. Scholes inserted the ball in front and returned. Knocking on the middle of the penalty area, Irving pushed the ball without stopping the ball, and the ball rolled into the goal again.


    "Hat trick! Irving staged a hat trick. This ball, made by McManaman, Scholes, and Irving, is extremely exciting!"


    60 minutes, four goals.


    Aldridge stood up and asked Gerald and Husky to warm up, and then he walked to the sidelines, hoping to use this gesture to remind players not to relax.


    He intends to close, but it does not mean he can allow players to relax.


    At the end of the bench player warm-up, the England team scored again!


    Owen is a pure shooter. Offensive positioning is the basis for getting rid of defensive ability. After all, he is not a forward who depends on his body to fight against meals. Flexible positioning and excellent shooting are the capital for him to rank as a first-class impact world-class forward.


    When the England team launches an attack from the midfield, has a sense of hierarchy when advancing, and can rely on personal ability to tear a line of defense to create a local advantage, Owen''s ability to run position has room to play.


    In the 64th minute, Owen slanted into the left from the right side of the penalty area to answer Ashley Cole''s short pass from the ground. He spun the ball and passed a frizzy defender on the other side, then volleyed at a small angle to send the ball again Into the goal.


    "Unbelievable! Irvine incredible! Senior 4! There are more than 25 minutes in the game. How many goals can Irving score? How many more can I score? I can''t stop!"


    Irving couldn''t believe it himself, and ran to the side of Ashley Cole rushing towards him to make a gesture of rubbing his hands in celebration.


    Fans on the scene were cheering up and down, and Liverpool fans were mad with joy.


    And Aldridge just smiled and applauded, then, replaced.


    "Hall used Husky to replace Irving, the biggest hero of the game. Wembley applauded. We saw the big fans in the stands standing up and applauding Irving. This is a day he will remember for his life and a game for the national team. It was a remarkable achievement to score four goals. At the same time, Beckham also came off the court. Today he has performed well on both ends of the offensive and defensive. It¡¯s teenager Gerrard."


    Aldridge stood on the sidelines to greet the two heroes, stretched out his right palm, and Owen slammed it when he passed by, patting Aldridge with pain in his palm, but he had to bear it, his expression must not change a little.


    I thought Beckham could be gentler, and as a result, Beckham also slapped hard.


    Aldridge endured the painful face without changing his color, and naturally moved his hands behind his back, and his left hand quietly rubbed his right palm.


    He thought no one had found out, who knew that the **** live broadcaster had set up more than N camera positions in Wembley, England''s site, the coach was a big name, and the head coach area naturally had cameras shooting all the time.


    When the live broadcaster found his small action from the live shot on the rear side of Aldridge, he immediately edited it and inserted it in the live broadcast screen.


    The picture is also very coherent and narrative.


    Owen, Beckham, two consecutive palms, Aldridge secretly rubbed his palms behind the scenes... Fans on the spot did not know, many fans watching the live broadcast of the game laughed a lot, especially at the end of this screen, they gave one back Close-up of Aldridge''s indifferent expression.


    Aldridge stood for two minutes, and his palms didn''t hurt anymore. He turned and walked back to the coach seat and found that Jenson and Klinsmann had a weird smile, and asked, "What are you talking about?"


    Klinsmann leaned in and whispered: "We are talking, maybe tomorrow the Millwall and Owen scandal will appear again."


    Aldrich thought about it, not impossible.


    Under his men, Irving staged his fourth senior game in the first national team game. Fleet Street will definitely take the opportunity to hype.


    Aldridge turned his head back to continue watching the game without thinking about that kind of thing. Millwall didn''t need a pure shooter like Irving anyway.


    Moreover, today Irving can score 4, which is a dishevell. When it comes to playing against the top teams, not to mention that he can score 4 and keep averaging 0.4. Aldridge is satisfied.


    Albania was scored with 5 goals. At this time, he lost all his energy. The defeat was settled. Without the momentum of the offensive, England also ended up with good results. It played less aggressively, but was more patient.


    The routine remains unchanged, and the offensive still relies on flexible insertion to provide change.


    When the final whistle sounded, the number on the scoreboard was 6:0.


    At the last moment, Lampard caught a long-range goal and the national team scored the goal.


    The two Germans were separated, and the game was abusive again. Aldridge could not see the pros and cons of Lampard and Gerrard when they debuted together. The advantages, the benefits, the disadvantages, and the disadvantages were not revealed. And there are not many opportunities for him to experiment. Moreover, when Beckham has to go on, these two can only start one.


    At the end of the game, Wembley burst into cheers.


    Aldridge stood up and walked to shake hands with the Albanian coach, then applauded the fans on the scene while walking towards the player channel.


    He first went to the locker room and waited for about ten minutes before the players all returned to the locker room.


    Faced with these happy faces, and excited after the victory, Aldridge smiled and said: "You have done a good job today, okay, the nearly two-week national team training cycle is temporarily over, we have a good The start, but the situation is still very serious, no one does not want to go to the World Cup, and no one is willing to play in the play-offs, so, in order to qualify for the group, we still have a long way to go, the game, to play one by one, etc. You can leave in one click and report back to the club. We will see you next month. I hope you can stay healthy and stay competitive. As a coach of the national team, I don¡¯t want to repeat it anymore, because at the club, your head coach will definitely go back and forth five times. Instill it to you, or tell you in a warning way, please understand your position as a coach, we have no likes and dislikes and prejudices, everything is for your better, I want to say that healthy and good habits, Improving your professional qualities will help you to hit a higher peak in your career and extend your career life longer. Well, the national team will be dissolved on the spot. See you in a month."


    Aldrich turned around and walked out.


    "Coach, please wait."


    Beckham suddenly stopped him, Aldridge turned around in confusion, but saw Owen, Beckham, McManaman, and even Scholes'' usual dull smiles.


    I don¡¯t know. I thought they thought about Aldrich¡¯s chrysanthemum.


    "Thank you."


    When the players in the locker room heard the same voice, the voice was not loud, but it seemed to have a shocking penetration.


    Aldridge raised his mouth slightly, turned, and opened the door to leave.


    Today, these international players have completely healed the pain of the European Cup and swept away the haze for months.


    They came here with anticipation or confusion, or numbness of mind. Within half a month, their mindset suddenly changed.


    They are now happy, excited, and full of confidence, and the youthful spirit brought by the young people has also made this team wipe away the tantrum and death.


    Aldridge¡¯s role is very intuitive, and the coaching national team must also be like this, to have immediate results, which is essentially different from the coaching club.


    The club can have more patience. Half a year, or even a season, can be counted as a cycle of adaptation, adjustment, reconstruction, etc.


    And the national team? Two years is a big competition cycle. As soon as each big competition ends, the new big competition qualifier starts immediately. Where can we find time and environment to rebuild, slowly adjust and debug the team?


    No!


    Changing coaches is a tool changer.


    Aldridge took over the team at a time when the national team was in the worst position.


    Put another way, it is also easier to highlight his influence on the team''s transformation, and it is easier to conquer the hearts of the people.


    The worst situation, but also the most wonderful prospects.


    Friendly match, playing Albania, two games, as long as you win Albania, Aldridge will be able to go through the questioning phase of the initial stage.


    Fortunately, Albania is a fish belly.


    Next month, the national team will still play a friendly match. This year''s group stage of the World Cup European qualifiers, England''s schedule has ended. The next round of visiting Greece will be in March next year.


    So this is actually a very beautiful schedule, that is, the external environment.


    In the qualifiers, the strength of England will become stronger and stronger. In addition to the mature technical and tactical skills, the growth of some young players will also improve the overall strength of the team.

 Chapter 562： The war continues

    At the press conference after the game, Aldridge just sat down on the stage, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, and many reporters had a playful expression, and a sense of pre-conspiracy.


    When the question began, Aldridge was asked a question that made him stunned.


    "Mr. Hall, in the 67th minute of the second half, when you replaced Irving and Beckham with Gerrard and Husky, why didn¡¯t you return to your seat? Instead, you stood on the sidelines and put your hands behind you ."


    Aldridge froze.


    What''s the problem?


    Does it make sense?


    When he saw many reporters under the stage showing smirk expressions, he suddenly realized.


    Dare to love the movement of rubbing his palms in the game was discovered.


    Aldridge smirked.


    Since this matter has been asked, you can only tell the truth. After all, he is in the spotlight, and integrity is about his reputation.


    Just like the sexual scandal between US President Clinton and Lewinsky, the scandal is a moral criticism, but when questioned in Congress, Clinton''s denial has turned into a crisis of trust. It is normal for people to be flawless and make mistakes. Sometimes it is more serious than some mistakes and will lose the trust of others.


    Aldridge said with a smile: "Beckham and Owen might be dissatisfied when they end up, so they sent their anger to me. They seemed to want to fight me, and they beat me very hard. Pain, I put my hand behind my back and knead it, eh, is it normal?"


    Hahaha!


    There was a burst of laughter from the audience.


    But a reporter immediately asked questions to stop this burst of laughter.


    "Mr. Hall, do you mean that Beckham and Owen are angry at your substitutions, are they? Owen wants to score more goals, and Beckham wants to play the whole game, right? This contradiction? , How would you solve it?"


    Aldridge''s expression froze, the other reporters off the stage no longer smiled, and turned his head to look at the strange female reporter, probably a newcomer from the media.


    These qualified reporters watched the game live and knew what was happening in the game. They all understood that Aldridge was just kidding.


    Aldridge''s funny speech style in interviews has always been a favorite of reporters, making the atmosphere relaxed and pleasant, not so tit-for-tat.


    People make a joke, you take it seriously!


    This time, instead of choking Aldridge''s expression, I really don''t know how to answer it.


    Oh, other people were surprised. The female reporter who didn''t understand the ball was playing straight and gave them an interesting scene.


    They stared at Aldridge playfully, to see how he answered.


    "When I changed them off, the score on the field was already 5:0. Why do we have contradictions? There are no contradictions."


    "But you just said they were not satisfied with hitting you hard. Maybe it is. Owen has scored four goals. Maybe he can score more goals in a single game."


    "Why do you want Irving to be such a selfish player? We are a team, a collective, he needs to contribute to the team, not just goals, we need to train backup players, we need to have more choices, the England national team is A team of more than 20 players, you can¡¯t see this, don¡¯t ask such a stupid question! Unreasonable trouble!¡±


    Aldridge struck back the reporter fiercely, and the press officer also cancelled the female reporter''s right to speak up again.


    The reporters next to them watched a good show. They had confirmed in their hearts that the female reporter must have just entered the business soon, otherwise, she would not ask such a question of self-digging the grave.


    Coming to the level of the national team, in today''s situation, she actually speculates that Irving will be in conflict with the head coach because she wants to score more goals?


    Even if Irving really has this emotion, he will never express it, never, this is to cut off his future in the national team. Is the national team a stage for performing alone? Is it where you swipe the goal alone?


    Irving needs a break, and it¡¯s not just Aldridge who knows all the English football media knows how tired he is in a season when he analyzes Irving. He changed other coaches. Today¡¯s game may not be in his first half. After two goals, he replaced him and took a rest. It was awesome to brush a record on Albania? has no meaning?


    There is nothing more to discuss about changing Beckham. Beckham started the last game and started today. It¡¯s a five-to-one. Let¡¯s take a rest and enjoy the applause of the fans and give other teammates the opportunity to exercise and grow. This is not very good. ? Do you have to be so exhausted and so hard to beat the audience that this female reporter is so happy?


    It seems that she wanted the news too much, and it was estimated that she was a little nervous. When she heard that Aldridge was joking that the players were not satisfied, she took it seriously.


    The small farce is over, and Aldridge''s happy mood is reduced because of the victory.


    The reporters from the audience were quite happy. Unexpectedly, there was an additional news material.


    The press conference is back on track, and the second formal issue is still related to what happened in the game.


    "In the first half, you took the initiative to come to the sidelines and called Beckham out. Are you dissatisfied with his performance?"


    Not to mention, in a dish abuse game, Aldridge frequently grabbed the spotlight. It is estimated that he took the initiative to call his players out so that the temporary reduction of non-combat on the field can also be circulated as a "good story".


    Aldridge''s expression became serious and Shen Sheng replied: "It has nothing to do with him personally, because he is an offensive player and also a deputy captain on the field, so I need him to convey my instructions. For some time after the opening, England The performance is not good, although it seems that we have a great advantage on the scene, in fact, this advantage is false, but it is not conducive to us to create a more threatening scoring opportunity, so I need the team to make adjustments, and The individual performance of the players is irrelevant, David is fine, and the other players are fine. After David conveyed my instructions, our offense improved and we scored goals."


    "After the English friendly defeated Spain a few days ago, there were many voices criticizing the England national team for giving up the traditional side attack. Today''s game, England is obviously more threatening in the middle attack. Does this represent the traditional two wings of England? Qi Fei tactics were abandoned by you. I did not question the correctness of this approach, I just wanted to understand your point of view."


    Aldrich shook his head and said: "If you judge the offensive routine only by scoring goals, I think it is very one-sided, and we can''t communicate. If you watched 180 minutes of content in two games, you should find that England Did not weaken the offensive on the wing. Ashley Cole, Beckham, Neville. The defensive pressure they created on the wing to their opponents was to play a role in creating a better scoring opportunity, not simply because The assist we scored did not come from the side, so we decided that the side attack was abandoned. Today¡¯s game, Beckham had a beautiful pass on the right side of the frontcourt. Assisting McManaman scored. Before the end, Neville The side pass was cleared by the opponent and Lampard shot long before the penalty area. Is this abandoning the effect of the side attack? I am combining the advantages of England and making up for the disadvantages of the team to build a tactical system. As the team¡¯s technical and tactical play matures further, I think no one will say that England has given up the traditional wing offense. If, just because I didn¡¯t have a full-back or winger in the starting line, it¡¯s undoubtedly superficial And ignorant."


    In answering this question, Aldridge did not dare to fly with both wings, but used the wings to attack.


    Because at present, it is really difficult for two wings to fly together, unless it is the case of Ashley Cole and Beckham attacking at the same time, but as far as probability is concerned, this situation is only 50% of the balance without impact. The situation will appear.


    And when Neville stepped forward to assist, Lampard also stepped forward, but Lampard was close to the middle forward.


    It can be said that the tactical system created by Aldridge can derive a lot of changes in the offense. The changes are based on the characteristics of the players themselves. When the whole team grinds into a combination, the offense changes a lot, and the defense can be firm and unbreakable.


    Aldridge dismissed those who were picky after criticizing Spain and criticized England for being too conservative and giving up the traditional side attack.


    No one stipulates that the player who initially starts in the lower back will stay in the lower back area for 90 minutes, and no one stipulates that there must be two symmetrical position players on the sidelines. Many Italian clubs have unilateral flying wings Tactics are very popular at a certain time, and they can also win.


    English players lack creativity, Aldridge uses tactics to create creativity. Millwall''s offensive and dazzling unpredictable offense is that players are distributed at various points and suddenly change positions in the offense. The role The impact caused by the conversion to tear the opponent''s defense line, and now the England national team, there are large areas and positions in the frontcourt are blank. During the offensive advancement, players fill their positions and form an impact, such as McManaman¡¯s The range of activities is large, and the role of the position has been constantly changing. He can insert the penalty area and break the door, or he can pull the edge to respond. His starting position is indeed the front waist, but he often attacks the shadow forward and the wing.


    The same is true for other players. Lampard is a midfielder when defending and a midfielder when attacking. Beckham is also a midfielder when defending and a fullback when attacking.


    This design is to guard the middle in defense, compress the space for opponents in the danger zone, and strengthen the connection between the defense lines. During the attack, the opponents are distributed in turn to move forward to create chaos.


    Another advantage of this arrangement is that it can maintain the player''s impact.


    If Beckham has been arranged on the right side, he will go straight up and down, the running distance in a game will indeed be 10,000 meters, or even 12,000, but how many times can he sprint?


    In turn, reasonable allocation of physical fitness, whether it is to rush up or back deeper to defend, their own speed can be more guaranteed.


    Aldridge did not think of ending the tradition in England, and then opening up a new tradition with his own brand. It was never his pursuit. The 442 proved that success cannot be achieved, then it must be changed, unchanged, just waiting for death, only Nothing more.


    In the end, the reporters congratulated Aldridge for his national team home victory and asked about his outlook for the England World Cup European Qualifiers.


    "The group stage directly advances to the finals? Of course I have confidence. Without confidence, I can''t do a good job. This is my life creed. But the game has to be played one by one. We have a good start, and there will be many The tough battle is waiting for us. As for the opponents in the same group, I don¡¯t care. This is not a knockout game. We should focus on ourselves, play our due strength, play every game, and wait for Germany. When the team fights, we will focus on the German team."


    After finishing the press conference, Aldridge declined the invitation to the reception from the FA''s chairman. As he drove home, he felt that the job was not as easy as he had imagined.


    A lot of pressure has been relieved temporarily, he has gone through the transition period after taking office.


    It''s just that I used to take a break at this time and relax, but now I continue to work.


    There is no way to be exhausted. The national team has just finished the game. Now he has to focus on the Premier League again.


    The London Derby is about to start, and his war with Wenger sounds the horn again.

 Chapter 563： Unexpected joy

    Early in the morning, Aldridge woke up from his sleep and was woken up by the phone.


    He opened his eyes confusedly, and vaguely saw Yiwen crouching to the edge of the bed, reaching for the mobile phone he placed on the bedside table. When he woke up, Yiwen sighed and said, "I don''t know if it is Who, call early in the morning, you should sleep more."


    "what time is it?"


    "At eight o''clock in five minutes."


    "It''s so late? Give me the phone."


    Aldrich rolled over and lay on his back on the bed, rubbing his face with his hands. It was still a little sleepy, but he didn''t want to sleep anymore. Today is Sunday, and he will lead his team at home against Arsenal this afternoon.


    He has been waking up more than an hour later than usual.


    Without the national team, I don¡¯t know. It¡¯s really tiring to work at the same time as the club and the national team. Aldrich is like an office worker. I hope that there will be a holiday?


    Sorry, there is no winter break in the Premier League, you have to rest, wait for next summer.


    Yiwen handed him the mobile phone and said, "Breakfast is ready. I will take Earl to the hospital for a check in the morning. It seems to him that he is a little uncomfortable. If there is no problem, I will take them to the stadium to cheer for you in the afternoon."


    The phone was still ringing, and Aldridge hurriedly asked, "What happened to Earl?"


    "Just now he was coughing, but now he is better. You can lie down for a while. Rest assured, I will go out and take him to the hospital now, but I will send Burt to your parents'' house first."


    Aldrich scratched his hair, and when Yiwen left the bedroom, he turned to look at the phone, which was the second time it rang.


    It was Andrew.


    It''s a very strange time. At this time, Andrew has always been sleeping.


    "You can''t get up before eight o''clock? Why do you call me?"


    "Eight o''clock? Oh, oh, oh, sorry, I''m not in London, it''s noon on my side."


    "WTF! Where did you go?"


    "Which city in the world has the most beauties?"


    "You simply settle in Ukraine and settle there."


    "Oh, I still have a lunch date. I''ll call you to finish the business first. I have a message to tell you, the Brazilian player, 18 years old, what''s the name? Wait for me to check, oh, Rika Do Izxon dos Santos Reiter, Millwall can stop paying attention and you don¡¯t have to worry about it."


    Aldridge was dizzy and blurted out: "Who the **** are you talking about?"


    The long list of names of Brazilian players is just about to be remembered. Aldridge doesn''t really remember which player Ricardo ¡Á¡Á¡Á¡Á Millwall followed.


    "Eh, I''m going, is your kid really awake? Is that St. Paul''s? Millwall also offered a secret offer in the summer. At first, 5 million pounds, they didn''t sell it. You raised the offer one after another. When it was 8 million pounds, The Sao Paulo club agreed, but the players themselves refused to negotiate, and within a few months, you forgot? Or did you say that Millwall¡¯s summer purchases were unsuccessful and he was not interested in introducing him? Then tell me earlier, save me and send People over there regularly report information about that player, wasting human resources."


    Andrew''s complaint made Aldridge refreshed.


    He was sober.


    He is also aware of who Ricardo is.


    Son of God!


    Kaka!


    He got up from the bed and was about to speak, but Andrew hung up the phone.


    Aldridge immediately hit the opponent again.


    "What else?"


    "I haven''t finished what I just said!"


    "You don''t even remember the players, what else do you want to say?"


    "Don''t talk about that, focus. Just now you said that Millwall doesn''t need to pay attention. What does it mean? There are European giants locking him? Could it be AC ??Milan? Shouldn''t he haven''t played an official match last season I haven''t played this summer, so in the past two months, did he play in the final stage of the Ligue 1?"


    "Playing? You think too much, I''m afraid he has no chance to make his career debut in his life."


    "Huh? You are too scary, what''s wrong with him?"


    "He was in an accident, and his spine was injured by diving. Understand? Do you know what a spine is? How important is it to people?"


    "I am grass! So good luck today?"


    "you are silly?"


    "You come back, do me a favor, go to Brazil in person, wait, wait, let me think about how to operate his transfer."


    "Transfer? Who buys?"


    "Millwall buys."


    "You really are stupid. Buying a player with a spinal injury. Whether he can walk like a normal person may be a question. The most serious may be paralysis. Do you buy him? You want Millwall players to die on the court. Scene?"


    Aldridge said to the phone after being silent for a moment, "I can''t get away. You are going to Sao Paulo on my behalf. I will let Adam go too. This reflects the sincerity of the club. On the other hand, I will prepare for him in London. The best chiropractic doctor, when you arrive in Sao Paulo, say hello to me first, before that, the club official must first communicate with the Sao Paulo club."


    "Do you think the money is burning too much?"


    "I have my own thoughts. In short, you help me to do this. When I come back, I will give you a Ferrari."


    "Well, since you don''t take money as money, I can only accept it with a smile."


    After hanging up the phone, Aldridge called Adam immediately and asked him to take the club¡¯s negotiating team and medical representatives to Sao Paulo. The situation was briefly stated. At the same time, the club once again offered the card to Sao Paulo. The amount of the first quotation is 5 million pounds.


    The second call, he called the medical department, there is no need to elaborate, simply give instructions.


    "Find me the best chiropractor in the world!"


    On a morning when he woke up and thought it wasn''t too good, Aldridge was surprised.


    He got up to take a shower, had breakfast and went to the club. There was a game in the afternoon. The players came to the club today and it would be late. Then everyone would have dinner together at the club at noon and take a break to welcome the afternoon league.


    After he drove to the club, the club staff informed him: S?o Paulo immediately responded to the offer, asking for 6 million pounds.


    Aldridge smiled at the news.


    He offered 5 million pounds, and outsiders seemed to be the second attempt.


    What about Saint Paul?


    If you agree directly, it seems abnormal.


    But because of Kaka''s accidental injury, they were too high to scare Millwall back.


    6 million pounds is 2 million pounds less than the 8 million pounds negotiated in the summer. This gap is still relatively large in this era, especially for clubs that have always done cheap business in Brazil.


    But the situation is different.


    In the summer, Millwall buyers have moderation and rationality. Now that the transfer window is closed, it is impossible for the club to complete the transaction immediately. S?o Paulo wants to cut the mess quickly, first finalize the transaction, and then conceal the injury of Kaka. In two months, the winter transfer window opened. As long as Kaka could recover almost, it was sent to the UK, and the money and goods were cleared, er, the money and wealth were cleared.


    Sao Paulo replied that the transaction amount was 6 million pounds, but must immediately pay 2 million pounds. When the transfer window opens in winter, players will pay the remaining 4 million pounds when transferring.


    In fact, Millwall first paid ¡ê2 million to sign a contract with the Sao Paulo Club.


    Otherwise, everyone has room for repentance. Sao Paulo can stop selling people in January, or raise the asking price.


    Aldridge is very happy that the other party has added such a clause, which is afraid Millwall will regret it!


    Sorry, I''m afraid you will regret it!


    He immediately notified Adam to go to Brazil to directly write a contract with the S?o Paulo Club. As soon as the player nodded, the club immediately paid 2 million pounds for the contract to take effect.


    After lunch at the club at noon, Aldridge hit the keyboard in the office and was writing a letter to Kaka.


    Andrew and Adam, the former represents him, the latter represents the Millwall club, but Aldridge still wants to express his sincerity directly in his personal capacity.


    ¡°When you were under 18, Millwall¡¯s scouts in South America were watching you. I¡¯ve watched your video, studied your technical characteristics, and analyzed your talents. The results show that you are a me I was surprised to find that Millwall had tried to sign you. We missed an opportunity to work together. Now, I know that you have been injured and are in a difficult stage, but I believe that your tenacity will make you overcome the difficulties. , Continue your football dream, come to Millwall, here are the best doctors to ensure your health, have the best coach team to train you to grow, come to the Lion King Stadium, let the fans of the crazy lion appreciate your skills, cheer for you To applaud you, I am a head coach who tirelessly pursues victory. At the same time, I also hope that the players I coach can proudly say when they retire: I have won 5, 6, 7, and even more The Premier League champion, has won the Champions League, the symbol of supreme honor in Europe, once, twice, or more. Kaka, I look forward to seeing you at the top European stadium, Millwall¡¯s jersey, has been prepared for you All right.


    May you recover soon. "


    Aldridge sent the letter to Andrew¡¯s mailbox, and then sent him a text message to have him print the letter after arriving in S?o Paulo and hand it over to him in person when visiting Kaka.


    After finishing these tasks, Aldridge took a nap on the sofa in the office, and waited for assistant assistant Jenson to knock on the door before waking him up, washing his face, organizing his clothes, making a phone call to Ewen, and asking about the situation of Earl.


    Earl had only a small cold. He went to the hospital to take an injection in the morning to take medicine. After a long sleep, he fell asleep for a few hours. After waking up, he was born with a tiger. Ewen took him to join Arthur and drove to the Lion King Stadium.


    Aldridge rested his mind and went to the court with the team to prepare for the game.


    London Derby, the battle for the championship group.


    The FA''s schedule is really **** bad.


    FIFA game day has just ended. At this time, playing such a fierce and important game will undoubtedly reduce the quality of the game.


    Millwall and Arsenal are big international players.


    The fans are as enthusiastic as ever.


    Aldridge is in charge of the Three Lions as a Millwall, which makes the fans of the Lions more arrogant than before.


    Our crazy lion not only ruled England''s top stadium, our crazy lion coach also dominated the fate of the England national team.


    Can it be more awesome?


    When Aldridge walked into the Lion King Stadium to greet Wenger before the game, the professor grumbled and said: "You have such a good relationship with the FA, why don''t you communicate with them? Do you think our two teams are at this time? Fighting, Millwall is absolutely dominant?"


    "Dominant? How can I have an advantage? I don''t want to play such an important game immediately after the FIFA game day. However, in order to avoid suspicion, the FA will definitely not accept my suggestion."


    Wenger suddenly realized when he heard it.


    He slammed the FA''s schedule before and tried to apply to adjust the schedule, but the FA rejected it and put on an unselfish and impartial approach.


    In order to ensure the quality of the Premier League game, it is not impossible to adjust the schedule. Strong dialogue. Everyone hopes that the game will be more exciting. A group of FIFA virus players are playing on the field. Isn¡¯t this a waste of gimmicks?


    But because Aldridge became the coach of the England national team, Millwall''s game can''t be adjusted, and definitely can''t, otherwise, the population will fall and the FA will open the back door.


    This move attracted a lot of non-parliament, especially in the same round. Just a day ago, Manchester United played Leeds United at home. It was also a strong dialogue. The runner-up last season was fourth with last season, and it was still a dead enemy. !


    No one complained, let alone Arsenal and Millwall had another day off.

 Chapter 564： Fall to the ground

    "The tenth round of the Premier League focus war is about to begin. Millwall sits at Lion King Stadium against North London¡¯s neighbor Arsenal. The status of the two teams is worrying. The two teams have many foreign nationals. They have just returned from the national team game and traveled. The exhaustion brought about is unavoidable, but today¡¯s game has a very important meaning. In addition to the 6-point battle of the championship group, it may also be a milestone battle for the Millwall Club. If Millwall can win today Or draw with Arsenal, they will tie a great record: 58 league unbeaten records in the five major leagues in Europe! This is a great record created by the last European dynasty team AC Milan, today, Millwall has the opportunity His name is written in the same chapter of the record as that team."


    The rare attendance of Lion King Stadium is full today!


    In the past few seasons, Millwall''s home attendance rate has remained above 99%. This season, in the few home game attendance statistics, the average attendance rate is only 91%.


    It¡¯s not that the stadium is big, or that the number of fans who want to come in to see the ball is not enough to fill the stadium, but that many middle- and upper-class wealthy fans bought season tickets, either because of their remote residence or because of the lack of attraction in the home game. Let the attendance drop.


    Like playing Arsenal at home today, fans who bought a season ticket are definitely not willing to miss it, and if they are playing relegation teams, some fans who do not care about the loss of money will be absent.


    Arthur, Puskas, Ewen, the trio fixed in the Millwall stands in the past few years have now moved to the box, the audience, and two more, Arthur is sitting in the arms of Bert, Ewen Hold Earl.


    The fans of the crazy lions are more relaxed. They are too confident in the team. They will no longer see 3 points more important than life in a league like ten years ago. I wish I could play hard with my opponents, win or lose. The fans will not be overly nervous.


    Now there is a paragraph circulating among the fans:


    It is Liverpool fans who start talking about the next season in May every year. It was the Manchester United fans who regretted the team''s runner-up in May, and the Millwall fans who celebrated the team''s championship in May.


    It''s not yet November. Millwall fans don''t need to watch anything. The standings are nothing. It''s meaningless anyway. Now enjoy the game. When May comes next year, prepare to prepare and brew. The team will bring them the championship. Great joy.


    In today''s battle of focus, Aldridge and Wenger sat on the coach seat very well. Both of them even had the same posture. They bent their elbows on the thighs, crossed their fingers, and looked like they were half dead. Frowning at the stadium.


    Both coaches are bitter.


    The FIFA virus is raging, the coach shouting and commanding hair while running, the player''s physical state can not be reversed by mental stimulation.


    Wenger should be better, but his opponent is too strong and worried.


    Arsenal have gone two main forces in the summer, the formation change in the new season is not too big, and there are also excellent players on top.


    It is still a 442 formation with double backs.


    Goalkeeper: Seaman.


    Defenders: Lauren, Adams, Keon, Silvinho.


    Midfielders: Yongberg, Palor, Vieira, Pires.


    Forwards: Bergkamp, ??Ibrahimovic.


    Aldrich is much bitter than Wenger.


    Arsenal, at least Adams, Keon, Palor, three English players got a good rest, and Millwall almost all the main team went to the national team to report, even if Materazzi, Bout, Gattuso did not In the last game, there was also fatigue from the boat rider.


    The most tragic thing is that Zambrotta reported to the Italian national team intact and returned to the injury list, requiring 3 weeks of injury.


    Ronaldinho returned to the team at the latest time, due to factors such as distance and schedule. The game of the Brazilian national team ended at the latest. Ronaldinho crossed continents, across the hemisphere, and had a jet lag. The climate also had a contrast between the northern and southern hemispheres. Why is the earth so big?


    Aldridge simply did not include Ronaldinho on the roster.


    The kid was sitting in the box next to Arthur today, wearing a casual avant-garde costume, accompanied by a dignified blonde beauty, standing up before the game and waving to the fans...


    Aldridge enabled Glencharr, Ashley Cole, and Klose to replace players who were injured or need to rest, still playing their usual 433.


    From the beginning of the game, the two teams couldn''t improve their speed. As long as the pace was accelerated slightly, the turnover rate in the final part of the attack was very high.


    Henry and Larson''s performance after repeating the running position repeatedly was a little worse.


    Aldrich turned to Klinsmann and whispered: "I think I should be mean."


    "Ok?"


    Klinsmann was confused.


    mean?


    "I should recruit Keon and Palor into the national team, and then urge Adams to return to the national team, the reason can be said to provide experience. You see, today Adams and Keon are energetic, how good they are, Vieira Playing a bit out of standard, they have become a solid iron gate in the back line."


    Klinsmann was speechless.


    If it is really the original intention to make Arsenal''s main force into a dog and recruit their England international to enter the national team, this, this **** is really mean and shameless!


    Arsenal during this period, the defense is very tough.


    In addition to the old and strong guard line, Vieira + Palool on the waistline, this is the roots of Arsenal''s glorious period in the original history.


    At the same time, the right-wing forward, Yong Berry, the Swed who loves to change his hair, is really both offensive and defensive. The number of defensive steals is always among the best in the Premier League.


    Arsenal''s offensive can''t be said to be of any novelty. The side attack is mainly used. Before there is no purely organized midfielder, it is actually about speed and players.


    In the 23rd minute, Aldridge got up from the coach seat, walked to the side of the court and gestured seriously to Gattuso, his right fist kept hitting the left palm, meaning he was ruthless!


    Arsenal are now without Henry, but with Ibrahimovic, Ibrahimovic has nothing to say about his physical fitness. There are really few defensive players he can''t carry, plus his feet are very flexible, and Gattuso is hard to carry. After breaking through the past two times, the scene is a bit ugly.


    I don¡¯t know if Gattuso went to the Italian national team for half a month and was brainwashed. He lost a lot of the mad dog spirit on the field today. It seems that he is learning to imitate that calm defense and accurate steals.


    The two times just now, he lowered the center of gravity, Ibrahimovic took the ball from his back, he waited for Ibrahimovic to turn around, but he had short legs, Ibrahimovic had long legs, half of the body was stuck in position, and the other foot controlled The ball, Gattuso''s legs stretched out, the ball did not touch, and then, lost his center of gravity, Ibrahimovic accelerated to wipe him.


    Although Millwall does not emphasize that the player blindly grabs, but has reached the key area of ??the foot, you have to go up and stick to the opponent, forcing the opponent to pass you even in the process of getting rid of quickly, but the ball distance will be Pull aside to create space for teammates, and the teammates in the back will intercept, and you will go to make up at the same time to ensure that the defense line will not appear empty.


    For the time being, the team did not lose the ball, but according to Gattuso''s defensive posture, it is estimated that his position will be overwhelmed. After all, there is another Bergkamp who has retired from the national team and has rested for half a month.


    Gattuso felt the dissatisfaction of Aldridge. He also realized that it seemed that he learned the excellent defensive skills of the Italian predecessors. The actual combat was not reliable, so he adjusted it immediately and changed back to the previous way, flying on the waistline. Running nonstop, struggling with opponents.


    There are three players of the Swedish national team on the field today, Ibrahimovic, Larsen, and Yongberg.


    Yongberg and Ibrahimovic both played for Arsenal. They cooperated very well on the court. Pire and Bogkamp played together for a longer period of time. The two of them were very good. This made Arsenal''s wing offense. When hitting the middle, it can often create a great threat.


    Between 31 minutes and 43 minutes of the first half, Arsenal played against the visitors, pressing Millwall.


    Aldridge stood in front of the coach seat and whispered to communicate with Jenson.


    "I don''t know if it''s my illusion, why I always feel that Pirlo has disappeared on the defensive end today."


    Jenson stood up and watched the game while whispering in Aldrich¡¯s ear: "I also feel this way, maybe he is too tired, maybe Arsenal is the main attacker, the speed is fast, and the progress is direct. Pirlo''s area was crossed, so he was rarely seen on defense."


    Aldridge looked back and looked at the field with a frown, the absolute speed is not Pirlo''s strength, the future pace of the Premier League will be faster and faster.


    Today, playing Arsenal, the opponent''s double waist, Pirlo has more room to move forward. As soon as he goes up, Arsenal will quickly hit the whirlwind on the side. Even if Pirlo has the heart to defend, his two legs do not run fast enough.


    Aldridge walked to the side of the court to put Pirlo behind.


    Arsenal was only conservative in the first half. They didn''t dare to step forward with double backs. At best, they shot from a distance of about 35 yards from the goal. After shooting, they immediately turned back to defend.


    I''m afraid Wenger never thought that today Arsenal is not too affected by the FIFA virus.


    But his pre-match worries are not unreasonable. The most critical Vieira is indeed in a normal state, and full-back Lauren is also the most worrying part of his defense. He is afraid that Millwall will explode.


    Today, Millwall¡¯s offense is very general. The whole team suffered from the impact of FIFA virus. If you play in the middle and lower reaches of the team, you may still be able to maintain your advantage. However, when you play Arsenal, the turnover rate is more obvious.


    If Wenger dared to let go today, Millwall may have lost the ball now.


    Will Arsenal''s advantage at the end of the first half make Wenger realize that he can take away the victory away?


    At least, the advantage is a sign.


    If it hadn''t been for the past two seasons to play against Millwall and was confused, perhaps Wenger would not be so afraid, Aldridge''s first priority is now to prevent the other side from expanding the advantage of the scene.


    The first half is about to enter stoppage time, the game is a bit dull, Arsenal is slightly conservative, Millwall''s turnover rate on offense is high, and there are only a few excellent shots.


    When the fans in the stands have already left the seats to prepare for a break in the midfield, to buy some food to eat, drink, **** and the like.


    But at this moment, a big change happened on the field!


    Arsenal''s offensive has been fierce in the last ten minutes, Ibrahimovic is eye-catching, and Gattuso is his opponent.


    Just in the 15th second of stoppage time, Ibrahimovic took the ball back again, Gattuso was behind him, and he quickly stretched his foot from his foot to destroy the ball under his foot. Tusuo, the inside of the foot is going to get rid of the ball from the other side, Gattuso''s foot can''t hold back, kicking in the place where Ibrahimovic''s foot happens to have neither shoes nor leg guards.


    Ibrahimovic screamed and turned around angrily, but perhaps because of the boss, his arm fell on Gattuso''s face, Gattuso fell to the ground in response...

 Chapter 565： New record

    The Lion King Stadium fell into a silence for a second, and then a booing sound broke out. Obviously, the home team fans are putting pressure on the referee.


    Open your eyes and look!


    In broad daylight, there is a lot of ups and downs, the opponents are beating!


    Look, look...look...


    Uh, the Lion King Stadium suddenly fell into silence.


    Gattuso was unprepared and slapped on the face with Ibrahimovic''s elbow. Uh, the height difference was too big. He lowered his center of gravity and bowed his head slightly. He was really beaten!


    The grumpy Gattuso got up from the ground and immediately rushed to Ibrahimovic. He lifted his right hand and pinched the other person''s neck. He scowled at the other party with a terrible face: "Do you want to fight, right?"


    Ibrahimovic pushed away Gattuso''s arm and immediately took a fighting posture. He and Gattuso''s height and body contrasted. He kind of meant to bully, in fact Gattuso was three years older than him.


    Lion fans at the Lion King Stadium were silent for a moment, and suddenly a loud noise broke out, and the atmosphere became more heated.


    It seems that the previous 45 minutes of the game did not look good in this scene.


    Some veteran fans of the mad lion blushed and swore at Arsenal fans and teams directly in the stands.


    Ibrahimovic argued with Gattuso without giving up, and the two came to face to face again. Originally for other similar scenes, the players may have their foreheads pressed against their noses and glared at them, but their combination of tall and short, Ibrahimovic lowered his head. Slightly contemptuous, Gattuso felt that he was inadequate to eat the momentum loss, plus the previous elbow on the face was still swollen and painful, and was pushed by Ibrahimovic again, he pushed Ibrahimovic angrily Yes, Ibrahimovic pushed him back...


    These two people are a bit like a little kid. It''s awkward for you to wait for me, until Materazzi rushed up to face Ibrahimovic and completed the tit-for-tat confrontation. "


    "The game is over, don''t go!"


    Ibrahimovic is still unwilling to show weakness.


    Pirlo ran close and blocked Gattuso, preventing the situation from going in a bad direction. Bergkamp was also sandwiched between Ibrahimovic and Materazzi, turned and pushed Ibrahimovic backward, and Materazzi was still chattering. Pointing at what the other person is saying.


    Vieira rushed up to meet Materazzi again, and the two pushed each other.


    22 players from both sides came to the scene, the referee made a lap in the crowd, and then went out to find an assistant referee to help.


    "Hehehe, there was a fierce conflict between the players of the two teams. The game itself did not have too many highlights. Are the players of the two teams tired? Are they affected by the FIFA virus? Anyway, they now seem to have enough energy to do a fight with each other!"


    Wenger''s face was extremely ugly. The referee had already punished Ibrahimovic for a foul that was kicked by Gattuso. Arsenal received a free kick in the frontcourt, but Ibrahimovic''s elbow turned back and would be sent off. He wanted to talk to the fourth official, but just after halfway, the fourth official entered the field to "suppress" the player conflict.


    Wenger turned to Aldridge''s side and said, "Your players are too dark?"


    Aldrich also stood on the sidelines watching the developments. He heard Wenger''s complaint and turned to walk towards Wenger.


    "His stealing skills are not superb, but if he deliberately puts on black feet, I think Ibrahimovic should have no chance to stand up."


    Although Gattuso has a mad dog spirit, he is not a mad dog. The stealing technique is not as outstanding as Makelele. Ibrahimovic has good ability to protect the ball. Gattuso is a steal and kicked the opponent''s foot and fouled. .


    It''s that simple.


    Can criticize Gattuso for his recklessness, impulsiveness, and rough technique, but he really doesn''t belong to the black-footed butcher player. Like Keane, the foot is to abolish the opponent''s leg. Gattuso will not play in the future. Dry, Aldridge didn¡¯t know that, at least in Millwall these years, Aldridge didn¡¯t believe Gattuso would do that.


    From another angle, he really wants to get black feet. Can Ibrahim turn around and knock him down? It is estimated that he lay on the ground and patted the grass with his ankles.


    "Today the referee imposed a very loose penalty on him, he had at least four fouls against Zlatan!"


    Wenger''s complaint is justified. In the second half of the first half, Gattuso almost stuck to Ibrahimovic, rammed, confronted, small moves, all right, Ibrahimovic was irritated by hair, is a process of emotional brewing and accumulation .


    Aldridge shrugged and wrote lightly: "Arsena, look away, think about the benefits, at least you know that Ibrahimovic will lose control of emotions under such circumstances, you can focus on teaching him in this regard, help him improve, Raise the comprehensive level, don''t you?"


    Wenger heard this and almost wanted to have a live PK with Aldridge on the sidelines.


    Co-author Arsenal also have to thank Millwall, right?


    Wenger said badly: "Aren''t you the same? Gattuso is still out of control!"


    Aldrich carelessly said: "It''s really different! He was knocked to the ground during the non-match. A man has fire. This time, I will not blame him."


    Wenger exploded quickly and shook his head: "Lie."


    Aldridge reluctantly asked: "Why should I lie to you? Should I say to Gattuso: Hey, in that situation, you were beaten down, you should always lie on the ground, covering your face, pretending to be injured and wronged, and gaining sympathy , Waiting for the referee to punish Ibrahimovic, is that right? Sorry, Millwall¡¯s football core is a tenacious battle, not abandoning the dignity of men in exchange for court utility. If I really say that to him Maybe he will submit a transfer application tomorrow. For players like him, it¡¯s too useless to lose money and not fight back."


    Wenger stopped talking now.


    I have to admit that Aldridge made sense.


    In the face of more than 60,000 people in the audience, in the sight of countless viewers on television, Gattuso was probably unintentionally knocked down by Ibrahimovic.


    After all, the game had already been suspended by the referee''s whistle. Why should I suffer an elbow and swallow?


    After the two players on the field were separated, the referee first gave a yellow card to Materazzi and Vieira, the two are not the protagonist of the conflict, but there is a push.


    The referee''s hand reached into another pocket, took out the red card, showed it to Ibrahimovic first, then turned to Gattuso and gave the same penalty.


    The two teams each came with one yellow and one red, each playing 50 boards.


    This is good. Originally affected by the FIFA virus, both teams could not play the strongest strength in this game. Now, Millwall¡¯s main midfielder in the new season and Arsenal¡¯s main center are sent off, and their strength is further weakened. The main defender on the upper side and the main back of the other side had yellow cards on their backs. The game was really messy.


    The referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half after finishing the penalty and wanted the two teams to walk into the locker room to calm down.


    But Millwall and Arsenal were full of grievances. They ate the cards, were sent off, and all walked into the player channel together.


    After the two teams entered the player channel, the sent off Ibrahimovic and Gattuso almost walked together side by side. As a result, there was really no worries in the player channel, let go of the hands and feet and twisted together!


    The teammates on both sides who stepped into the player''s channel in the next step also made the chaos even bigger with the explosion of several explosive barrels!


    The screaming and screaming silhouettes of the black feet flashed in the muddy water, while those like Larson, Klose, Bogkamp, ??Seaman, who suffered from indiscriminate disasters, suffered a lot from them. fist.


    "calm down¡­¡­"


    "Don''t fight, don''t fight..."


    The player channel was a mess, Aldridge and Wenger stood together at the exit of the channel. The Millwall staff, the referee team and so on all stopped the conflict between the two teams. The two coaches coincided. Bowed his head and sighed.


    Although Millwall and Arsenal are rendered as a hatred London derby every time they meet, in fact, the two teams themselves do not have the emotional basis for resentment and hatred, but as Millwall becomes more successful, in England, in London, suppressed the traditional giant Arsenal determined to revive. The competition between them, the smell of gunpowder is getting stronger and stronger, and hatred is also brewing in one game after another, especially in key games.


    The gunner''s red and white, Millwall''s dark blue, and the hatred of the jersey colors became stronger.


    After three minutes, the players from both sides returned to the locker room, and the confusion was subsided.


    Aldridge seemed to turn a blind eye to the previously chaotic situation in the locker room, without mentioning anything.


    Millwall, as a team sitting on the throne, wants to continue sitting down in an elegant and elegant manner, which is impossible.


    There is only one champion, and there is only one king. On the road to the throne, they broke the old order and completed the killing of the king. Now how can they defend their kingship, how can there be no blood? Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester United, Liverpool, etc., which are both strong contenders and opponents in the same city, are inevitable. The confrontation between them is inevitable. The ground will overflow the field and spread outside.


    Henry didn¡¯t know who was punched, the corner of his mouth was broken, and his mouth was swollen. Materazzi probably rushed to the front. There are several obvious footprints on the socks and shorts. Bleeding, but it should not be a problem, it is a skin trauma.


    Aldridge did not stimulate the player''s emotions during the halftime. If he did, God knows whether the two teams will break out on the court more intensely.


    After the players are angry, let them turn their attention back to the game, what stimulates their stronger desire to win.


    Arsenal had no difficulty in tactical adjustment at least. Wenger didn''t need to replace him at all. He didn''t have a center and continued to play like that.


    Millwall replaced Neil Larson with two games in the national team. After adjusting the tactical formation, it was not much different from Arsenal.


    Neil put Bergkamp to the ground as soon as he played, and almost caused the two teams to break into conflict again. The referee directly warned Neil with a yellow card and warned players on both sides to restrain their emotions, otherwise, he would not be soft. Show the red card!


    The technical and tactical performance of the two teams on the court in the second half was poor. Both sides were four back guards and double backs. They had little offensive force and were sent off one person. The attack was quite weak.


    But when the game ended at 0:0, Millwall players and 90% of the audience at Lion King Stadium started cheering.


    The result of the match was a draw, but Millwall players were able to hold their heads up and pose a gesture of contempt for Arsenal.


    "Millwall shook hands with Arsenal and scored one point each, while Millwall tied AC Milan''s 58 league unbeaten record! This is a great record, Millwall is now hopeful in the next This record is set in a league game. In that case, who can question the name of their dynasty? The five-game winning streak record in Europe was created by them. Now, they are going to hit another new record!"

 Chapter 566： one day

    From the beginning of the new season, Millwall''s unbeaten record in the league became the focus of public opinion before each round of the league.


    Such an undefeated division has stood at the apex of the undefeated record in the English top league. Only in the three rounds before playing Arsenal, people began to talk about whether the undefeated record of the 58 leagues created by the Milan dynasty will be miraculous. Wall surpassed, after all, Millwall''s opponents were not strong. At the time point, Arsenal is the most promising team to end Millwall''s undefeated team.


    People have expected Millwall to tie this great record with a hearty victory, and have also fantasized about Arsenal''s dramatic sniper on Millwall.


    In the end, this highly anticipated game is full of phenomena that the critics hate.


    The game was dull, the player''s performance level was not as expected, the court conflict, the group fight in the player channel...


    After the game, Millwall and Arsenal were very different.


    Arsenal failed to attack Millwall. At other times, they retired on the road. This will not let them lose too much, but Millwall has a record on them.


    In contrast, Millwall, having achieved a draw does not bring the joy of the game itself, but can tie the unbeaten record of the five major leagues, which is enough to make them proud and proud.


    Aldrich avoided talking about the group fights in the player channel after the game and only answered questions about the game. His personal interest in the record was not high. How many games were unbeaten did not bring championships and honors, especially in this In the 6-point battle of field strength and strong dialogue, both Millwall and Arsenal lost money, allowing another rival Manchester United fisherman to benefit.


    The conflict on the court, he expressed his opinion: the source of the problem is Arsenal, Ibrahimovic is the fuse.


    Gattuso is just a normal foul, and he is not surprised. When he was used as a substitute for Makelele, Gattuso''s fouls were high, and he was the king of the Mirwall team. The number of major fouls this season has been reduced, but today Ibrahimovic Ibrahimovic played a delicate game, and Gattuso¡¯s fouls increased. This is no surprise. He is not a malicious foul. Is there any reason why Ibrahimovic is angry?


    But maybe Ibrahimovic just unwittingly slapped his elbow on Gattuso''s face. Aldridge was not interested in studying the video to confirm. Anyway, he had to exonerate his disciples and blame the opponent.


    The Football Association announced the investigation of the player conflict in the Lion King Stadium immediately after the game. It seems that Millwall and Arsenal will face heavy penalties.


    Aldridge hurriedly left the club after being interviewed.


    When he got home, he took off his suit and walked to the TV in the living room. He sat cross-legged on the carpet. Burt and Earl were playing with toys. He picked up Earl and stared right and left, not seeing a cold in the morning. Looked like a kiss on Earl''s head. At this time, Ewen walked from the kitchen to the living room and looked at Aldridge up and down, relieved: "I still worry about you being injured."


    "Huh? Oh, it''s not a new thing for players to fight. If I join the battle group, I''m afraid it will become big news."


    Aldridge smiled. In fact, when the players broke out in the player channel, he and Wenger stood at the exit of the player channel in a tacit understanding. Both of them understood that if they blended in, they would pit themselves.


    It¡¯s not that they¡¯re afraid of injury, or that they¡¯re unjustified as a coach. They didn¡¯t charge with the players at that time, but if they were judged to participate in this conflict, the fine was affirmative, and the suspension was very bad for the team. Moreover, if it is erroneously accused by the media, this image loss is too great, and the rise to the club image is not excessive.


    After dinner, Aldridge got into the study after bathing. He wanted to follow up on the situation in S?o Paulo, but Andrew hadn¡¯t heard any news yet, so he checked the club¡¯s team preparation information. Two days later, Millwall is going to Portugal as a guest to challenge Atletico Lisbon. The UEFA Champions League group stage is 1 win and 1 loss. The situation is not bad, but the third and fourth rounds of back-to-back games are very crucial.


    He forgot the time when he was working. Just after nine o''clock in the evening, the door of the study was pushed open, and Ewen walked straight in wearing a silk suspender pajamas, and pulled his arm out when Aldridge was not talking.


    "What are you doing?"


    "Accompany me to the movies."


    Her tone sounded firm, as if she were a bit capricious.


    Aldridge asked, "What about the children?"


    "Already asleep."


    "Ok."


    Aldridge returned to the bedroom with Ewen. He lay on the bed. Ewen selected the film and drilled into the bed with the remote control. His face was against his chest, and he put his arm around his shoulder.


    Aldrich knew that she just wanted to give herself more time to rest.


    As soon as he lay in bed, Aldridge''s eyelids began to fight, and within ten minutes he sniffed into a long sleep, Ewen turned off the TV, and the Lala quilt lay in his arms and closed his eyes.


    This sleep was deep and sweet, from 9pm to 7am the next morning.


    Aldridge woke up with a feeling of resurrection!


    Sitting up energetically and stretching out, turning his head to look around, Yiwen was not around.


    When he got up, he went to see his son''s room, but he was surprised to find that his two sons were not at home, and Yiwen also disappeared.


    Perhaps, Yiwen took them out for a walk.


    Aldridge was humming music to wash in the bathroom. Suddenly he heard a door opening downstairs. After a while, Yiwen in a white coat appeared at the door of the bathroom. He smiled and looked at Aldridge with a refreshing mental appearance.


    "Where did you go?"


    Aldrich asked casually.


    "Send Burt and Earl to Arthur."


    "So early? Are you rushing to work to be afraid that you have no time?"


    "I took a day off today."


    "Well? Why?"


    "Because you rest."


    Aldridge put his towel away and suddenly frowned, saying: "It was originally a rest today, but that kind of thing happened in the game yesterday. Today I have to go to the club and follow up on the FA''s movements."


    What happened yesterday, Aldridge itself will certainly not be punished, the club is fined, the players are fined, it does not matter, but, will there be players who add penalties? How many players will be affected by the group fight in the player channel?


    This is what Aldridge is thinking about now.


    Yi Wen walked in front of him and wrapped his neck around naturally. The fragrance from her body passed into Aldridge¡¯s nose and listened to her natural tone: "Mr. Hall, where are you going today, do What, listen to me. Let¡¯s get others busy with the club¡¯s affairs, otherwise, what do you do to hire them?"


    Aldridge also wrapped her hands around her waist and closed her head with a smile: "Oh, I don''t even listen to Arthur''s words. In this world, I only listen to two people. The first is a lawyer, the second is Doctor. I don¡¯t have a criminal department, so I don¡¯t need a lawyer now, so you let me listen to you, Miss Yiwen, oh, no, Dr. Yiwen, what would you say to me?"


    "Hehehe, Aldrich, you are too tired, you need to rest. This is my recommendation as a doctor, but you are very spirited now, then, let¡¯s relax today, today, you are my patient."


    Aldridge opened his eyes and lowered his head, staring at her smiling eyes, playing with the taste: "I seem to smell the conspiracy."


    "Well, it''s seen by you. I''ve been brewing this conspiracy for a long time. Now, you go get dressed and I''ll wait for you in the car outside."


    Ewen said, tipping her toes and kissing Aldridge, then turned and walked out of the bathroom.


    Aldrich was dressed neatly, still in the usual suit and leather attire. When he walked out of the house, Yiwen was already driving and waiting for him by the roadside.


    After getting in the car, Aldridge couldn''t restrain curiosity and asked, "Where are you going?"


    Yiwen handed an exquisite brochure to Aldridge and smiled.


    After the car was launched, Aldridge also read the brochure in his hand, which was the introduction of a spa hotel.


    It seems that today he will spend a whole day there with Yiwen.


    In the bubble spring in the late autumn season, to enjoy other entertainment items in the hotel, Aldridge put aside other thoughts for the time being, without any effort, he and Ewen easily embarked on a relaxing journey and enjoyed the world of two people.


    He manages the team so that the players can combine work and rest, but he is a workaholic himself, and he really needs someone to remind him to rest and relax.


    On this day, the FA FA ticket was down.


    Ibrahimovic, Gattuso, each suspended 5 games.


    Vieira, Materazzi, suspended two games.


    Also on this night, the British paparazzi caught the lace news of the heavyweight star in the nightclub.


    Ronaldinho has a night out at the nightclub!


    On Tuesday morning, Aldridge came to the training ground with a sullen face.


    In addition to the injury-prone players still recovering, other first-team players should return to the club for training this morning to prepare for the UEFA Champions League match with Atletico Lisbon.


    One person was late.


    Ronaldinho was late for 45 minutes with a pair of dark circles.


    He changed his jersey shoes in the locker room and ran out. When he came to the training ground, the other teammates were already training in groups. Ronaldinho ran to Aldridge for the first time to apologize, but Aldridge pointed blankly. Going to the court and saying, "Ten laps, let me get rid of the alcohol in your body first, and keep your mind awake."


    Ronaldinho''s dull head immediately started circling around the field, keeping his speed at the level he usually warmed up. The cold wind of the late autumn was blowing people''s spirits, not to mention, running and running, his head was sober.


    At the same time, his mood became uneasy.


    Aldridge came to the club in the morning with a bad look. That was because he learned of the FA¡¯s punishment. The main defender and main midfielder missed 2 and 5 games respectively. This impact was too great.


    As for why Ronaldinho is late for training and why he is full of alcohol, he has not yet learned the detailed reasons, but at least, he can guess some, it is just playing too much.


    In the next training, Ronaldinho showed a state that Aldridge could hardly watch.


    I don''t know how to criticize him!


    His legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he didn''t see any flexibility. He was unresponsive as if he was seriously ill.


    "F! In his state, can he go to the Champions League game tomorrow night?"


    Aldridge''s annoyed words stunned Craig, and then asked, "Don''t you know?"


    "what do you know?"


    "He played in the nightclub last night until he left at 3:30 in the morning. The British paparazzi tracked the whole process. The lace tabloid was on the front page today, almost all of him."


    "I don''t read these tabloids..."


    Aldridge blurted out and realized immediately that the focus of the problem was not that he could not read the tabloid!


    He closed his forehead and exhaled heavily. He gave the training to Jenson to take charge. He returned to the office and asked the staff to send a tabloid.


    At the end of the training day, Aldridge was still in the office. After the training, the players greeted the coach and drove home. Ronaldinho was informed by Jenson that he would go to Aldridge¡¯s office. .

 Chapter 567： If you concentrate on playing football, God will smile

    Ronaldinho''s training quality on this day was terrible. In the morning, he couldn''t keep up with the rhythm. In the afternoon, he was separated from the first team by the coaching staff and trained separately.


    After a short rest at noon, sleep was still insufficient, and bloodshot eyes were clearly visible.


    When he knocked on the door of Aldridge''s office, Aldridge stood behind his desk and faced him with his hands in his pockets, looking out at the training ground outside the window.


    "Boss, I know that my performance made you very dissatisfied today, and I apologize..."


    Ronaldinho took the initiative to apologize when he walked in, but he saw that Aldridge was still facing away from him, raising his hand to stop what he was going to say, instead beckoning him to walk over.


    Ronaldinho walked behind his desk. He saw several newspapers with British tabloids on the table. The front page was the ugliness of his indulgence in the nightclub.


    When he walked to Aldridge, he knew and experienced it for the first time.


    It turned out that standing in this position and looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can overlook all the training grounds of the entire Leo training base.


    Here, Aldrich¡¯s office. After moving here more than five years ago, he stood in front of the window countless times, and the view covered the training ground in the entire Leo training base. The scene was not spectacular, but it was also a little bit People are shocked.


    The success of a team is on the field, but the source of success on the field is training. Without good training, there is no good performance on the field. This is beyond doubt.


    luck? Goddess of Destiny? That''s the rhetoric of the weak covering up the failure or being jealous of the strong.


    "It was almost five years ago that you first appeared here, the first time you showed open air on that site."


    Aldrich pointed to a training ground at the far end, too far away, certainly could not clearly point out the specific area, but it can make Ronaldinho recall memories.


    The boy who won the respect and marvel of everyone from the first touch on the training ground started his football dream from here.


    Ronaldinho turned to look at Aldridge, and suddenly felt that he could not understand Aldridge''s eyes.


    The man who used to be crazy with himself, was extremely harsh on himself at work, and approachable in life. At this time, he felt a sense of strangeness and distance.


    When Aldridge slowly turned his head to look at him, Ronaldinho lowered his head.


    Before coming, he was mentally prepared to greet Aldridge''s thunder, and he was reprimanded as he wanted, and then he could leave. Then, everything disappeared.


    However, when he and Aldridge faced each other, he dared not look at Aldridge¡¯s eyes again, which was full of disappointment, as if a sword had penetrated his heart and pierced his emotions. The package, self-blame, guilt, shame, swept through the body instantly, as if to drain his strength.


    He always knew how high Aldridge''s expectations were for him.


    But at this moment, he seemed to live up to all his expectations of him.


    "Do you understand me?"


    Aldridge said softly.


    Ronaldinho nodded.


    He thinks he knows the boss, so he never thinks he has the privilege because of Audridge''s attention. If he violates the team rules, he will be punished.


    "No, you don''t understand. At my present position, I must win, keep winning, make this club more brilliant, and make Millwall an unshakable force in Europe. This is when I wake up every day. I told myself that I have to be motivated to work, and I must forget what I have achieved in the past, so that I can work on the ground, not naively think that everything will not change, victory will come, and our defeat will always be The defeated men."


    Ronaldinho nodded. He wanted to say something, but he felt pale and weak.


    Aldrich turned around and looked out the window again, said softly: "Maybe you think I''m making a big deal, you are just late today, the training is bad, but I think this should be taken seriously, the first time, the second time For the third time, in the long run, you don¡¯t have good training as a guarantee, the competitive state will decline all the way. So, we openly talk about it, I also want to simplify things, I will give you time to return to Brazil for a holiday, reunite with your family, you With friends, you want to indulge, yes, this is what you deserve. After all, here, you have fewer friends, which I understand, I will occasionally play crazy with friends. But, when you are in the club At that time, you must plan your leisure time reasonably. In the last game, I did not let you play, that is, let you take a good rest and let you recover from the fatigue caused by the journey of the national team, but you went to the nightclub. Reaching the established goal of rest recovery, even training has been affected. Ronaldinho, you belong to football, you should also work harder in this area, you know what amazing actions you can make in this field, There is only one time in life, please hold it well. Tomorrow the team will play in the Champions League, you stay in the club to train alone."


    Ronaldinho realized later that he suddenly realized why he felt a sense of distance and strangeness from Aldridge.


    Probably because Aldridge still maintains a strong source of struggle in such a successful career status, works solidly, and desires a more successful ambition.


    He has a league title and a Champions League title. The name Ronaldinho has transformed from a supernova to a real superstar in Europe. Whether he can step into a superstar depends on his performance in international competitions, or in The club continues its previous excellent state.


    If anyone in Millwall is Ronaldinho''s most trusted, then it must be Aldridge. His leader will not only hurt him, but will do everything for his sake, make him good, make him better To make him the best!


    "Boss, I promise, not next time!"


    Aldrich raised his left hand and shook his head. "Don''t make verbal promises, actions are more persuasive than words."


    Ronaldinho didn''t say anything, turned around and left, as he was excluded from tomorrow''s game list, this is the penalty made by the club, moreover, for his training performance today, he is not eligible to enter the starting list.


    When Ronaldinho gently closed the office door, Aldridge murmured in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows: "If you concentrate on playing football, God will smile."


    ...


    Ronaldinho returned home and rested that day, and entered the rhythm of focused training early the next day.


    Millwall did not have him on the roster for the Champions League away. Aldridge avoided talking about it at the press conference and coldly dealt with Ronaldinho¡¯s comments, as long as Ronaldinho himself can straighten his mind and not reappear in the nightclub, about him The off-site topic will disappear.


    Sporting Lisbon, Newcastle United, Derby, Manchester City, Sporting Lisbon, Leeds United, Southampton.


    In 7 games in 40 days, Millwall achieved 5 wins and 2 draws.


    The Champions League came first and then played back to back against Atl¨¦tico Lisbon. They achieved a draw at home. They scored three points at home. After four rounds of the first stage of the Champions League group match, Millwall won the second place with 2 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss and 7 points. The situation in this group shocked the outside world. Moscow Sparta from Eastern Europe defeated Millwall in the first round and then won three consecutive victories. The points reached 12 points, which is very likely to be directly the first in the group. The promotion is only one draw away from the theoretical realization. Anyway, it is no problem to qualify, but the stronger Hamburg and Atletico Lisbon are ranked third or fourth in the group. As long as Millwall defeats Sparta Moscow in the next round, basically The team can also announce the qualifying, but the possibility of an unexpected outing is not without.


    In 5 games in the league, 4 wins and 1 draw. Except for Elland Road, Ole was forced to grab a draw by the furious midfielder. All other opponents were cut down by Millwall.


    After finishing 15 rounds in the Premier League, Millwall won 9 and 6 draws, continuing the undefeated momentum, and the league unbeaten record reached an amazing 63 games!


    In the Premier League standings, Millwall only ranked second.


    Manchester United''s start to the new season is not ideal, but since the 9th round, they have won 7 consecutive victories, 15 rounds of war, with 11 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss record 36 points to occupy the top position, leading Milwall by 3 points, Arsenal, who suffered a two-game losing streak in the 14-15 round, has a tendency to fall behind. 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses have only 25 points. Before Christmas, it was 11 points away from the leader, 7 wins 5 Leeds United with 3 losses and 1 loss more than Arsenal, Liverpool 7 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses with 23 points followed closely, Chelsea 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses with 17 points was an early farewell to the championship group.


    Fleet Street was relieved, and the situation in the Premier League was much more optimistic than last year.


    The Champions League, er, there is no longer the group that was expected before the season. No one doubts that the competition for the league title this season is still between Millwall and Manchester United. The gap between Arsenal, Leeds United and Liverpool behind the top of the list is in double. The number of digits means a difference of at least four goals. With such room for fault tolerance, Millwall or Manchester United, a single team may make mistakes in the remaining 23 rounds of the league, but two teams make mistakes at the same time and give back The possibility of the team catching up is really slim, especially in the 6-point battle, it is unlikely that a strong dialogue can get an advantage in two rounds, even if Arsenal gave Manchester United only one defeat so far this season. ''S team, but it was in Highbury. If Arsenal couldn''t retire at Old Trafford in the second half, it would be equal to the two teams, and no one would take advantage.


    For more than a month, Aldridge was in a good mood.


    In addition to Ronaldinho''s training and performance of the stadium to eliminate the negative news brought before, at the same time, Millwall Club in London ushered in a player who will soon belong to them.


    Kaka learned from the hospital in S?o Paulo that Millwall and the S?o Paulo club once again reached a player transfer agreement. At the same time, Andrew came to the hospital to visit him on behalf of Aldridge and gave Aldridge¡¯s letter to the other party.


    This time, Kaka was moved.


    He hasn''t played in an official game, and his career hasn''t even staged his first show. Millwall''s offensive against him in the summer has actually made him tempted, but his family does not want him to go to Europe too soon. Especially Millwall is full of talents. He goes directly to the top giants. I am afraid that he will not get many opportunities, for fear that he will be buried.


    He hopes to play well in Brazil before considering going to Europe.


    As a result of the scourge, he broke his spine. For a player who was injured in this area and is an unknown player, a top coach of the UEFA football team still does not give up chasing him. Kaka has no reason not to be moved. .


    In particular, Millwall also contacted the top medical team for him during the same period, and rushed to Brazil in the next step. No matter whether Kaka agreed to transfer, Millwall''s arrangement is free.


    Kaka''s father was his agent. After seeing Millwall''s so sincere move, he finally nodded and let Kaka transfer to Millwall. As for salary, Millwall gave the first team support. The minimum standard is very rich compared to Brazilian players, especially now Kaka.


    The Kaka family came to London, not to settle, but to accompany Kaka to receive spine treatment and recovery in London. Aldridge took the time to visit Kaka in the hospital and exchange some football topics with him.


    As for the transfer of players, Millwall and S?o Paulo reached an agreement, Kaka transfer value of 6 million pounds, the transfer time is next summer, next January transfer, Millwall can not operate, there is no room.


    Kaka belongs to a non-European player. If he wants to come to Millwall, he must initiate special genius clauses. The club needs to operate and deal with the English Football Association. It is more abundant in summer time. In the month, the possibility of Huang is very high.

 Chapter 568： Wembley Finale

    In the early winter, fans in England focused on the friendly match of the national team, and the FA football propaganda has spread throughout the streets.


    In 2000, in this special year, Wembley''s final battle this year, England vs Brazil!


    In the friendly match, select opponents, Aldridge suggested to the FA, choose as many strong teams as possible!


    In the qualifiers, only Germany''s opponents in the group in the qualifiers are considered strong teams. The other opponents are weak players of different grades. England cannot use the weak teams to brush up experience in friendly games.


    The friendly game is also an image project, especially in the local community. The FA neither wants to lose face, nor does it want to blame Aldridge''s advice. The two are in the honeymoon period. The coach still has a certain weight.


    The FA has an overview of the international strong teams, and finally selected Brazil. It generously gave the Brazilian Football Association a very expensive playing fee. The FA looks generous. They just signed a sponsorship agreement with a new sponsor, and the national team should polish The signboards naturally need weighty supporting roles, otherwise, England will find Iceland, Andorra and other teams to play friendly games, the sponsors may not be happy.


    This friendly match is full of gimmicks.


    In the past three years, Brazil has been the winner of two intercontinental competitions. In 1997 and 1999, it won the America¡¯s Cup consecutively. At the same time, it was also the runner-up winner of the 98 World Cup. Looking at the record, they have more influence than England.


    But Aldrich felt that the FA was too slippery after being notified of the FA''s finalized friendly match.


    Not to mention the disadvantages of the Brazilian team playing away, after all, they have many players who are playing in Europe, such as Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Carlos, Cafu and so on.


    The alien Ronaldo, who didn''t mention the biggest card, was still injured at Inter Milan, weakening the team''s combat effectiveness.


    Just because of the recent chaos in Brazil, the combat effectiveness of this national team is really uncomfortable.


    The World Cup runner-up in 1998 caused a national shock in Brazil, and even held a hearing to investigate the game. The legendary coach Zagalo stepped down and Lucenberg took office.


    Lusenborg led Brazil to defend the America¡¯s Cup, and at one time he was devoted to the power of the Brazilian national team, and was regarded as a mythical figure by Brazilian fans. However, after the peak of the America¡¯s Cup defending, Lusenborg fell into one scandal after another. , The secret relationship with the secretary, recruiting members of the national team for black gold, illegal trading, etc. At the same time, the World Cup South America qualifiers started earlier, the Brazilian national team once suffered a six-game losing streak in the World Cup qualifiers, and the hope of participating in the World Cup has changed As he became more and more slim, Lusenberg was in constant voice after class. In order to restore trust, he personally led the Brazilian Olympic team to the Olympics three months ago. As a result, he was shamefully blocked by Cameroon from the top 4. Lusenberg was ordered to resign. Leo takes over.


    In the qualifiers, losing streak and catching up with the change of coaches, such a brave and disjointed tactical system of Brazil''s national team, I am afraid that there is no way to talk about it, it is most appropriate to describe it with four words: foreign strong and dry.


    Paper strength, they are very strong, but the actual combat strength is just the opposite.


    The opponent selected by the FA really made Aldridge laugh and cry, but he comforted himself from another angle, and he felt pretty good.


    Growing England meets chaotic Brazil. Regardless of this, at least this opponent can arouse the desire of the entire England team to fight.


    In an interview before the game, Aldridge was still the argument that "Friendly matches do not value victory".


    The original plan was to close Wembley last month, but Aldridge requested a delay of one month to allow the English national team to finish the national team game this year, and then move to other stadiums to play at home.


    During the restructuring of Wembley, the home team of the national team can undertake bidding undertakings, Old Trafford, Lion King Stadium, etc. are all powerful alternative courses.


    The fans who came to Wembley today not only brought a camera, but many people also brought simple tools. They planned to remove the seats in the stands after the game and move home to keep them in memory...


    When the national team first trained in the Aldridge era last month, the team focused on trying to run in. More than a month later, the players assembled again, and they were full of confidence.


    Today, the performance is slightly stable. At least the team''s technical and tactical framework is clear and clear. The football IQ and experience of these players allow them to integrate into the tactical system as quickly as possible.


    Aldridge sat on the coach seat and watched the game with a tepid expression. 22 players on the field fought fiercely. The scene was very exciting because both teams have their own characteristics.


    Brazilian players are very strong, very strong!


    The unpredictable Rivaldo, like Ronaldinho dancing on the toes of football, is like Carlos with explosive power carrying a rocket launcher...


    Brazilian players touch the ball on the court, it can bring people enjoyment.


    However, they are only superior to the individual, the individual players are superior in ability, playing samba football on the court, free and romantic and full of poetry, but they have not been able to merge into a team and a whole.


    England does not have a player with outstanding dribbling and ball control ability, but they play very integrally, and the speed of the offensive advancement is also a highlight on the field.


    The reason why the scene is so beautiful and exciting is that the two teams are offensive to each other and can quickly attack the frontcourt. You come and go, which makes the heartbeat of the fans ups and downs.


    Brazil relies on individual ability to bring points to face, England relies on the overall rapid advancement, Brazil cannot resist England¡¯s unexpected offensive points and then inserts the corresponding propulsion strategy, England is to take the initiative to retreat the defense zone, dare not push forward too much, otherwise, the opponent will be The scenario of successive breakthroughs is likely to be staged frequently.


    "Rivaldo passed Bart again! Fortunately, Southgate robbed at the right time, otherwise let him pass and England''s city gates are dangerous! Today''s defense in England is broken one-on-one There are many, but they rely on teamwork and joint defense to limit Brazil¡¯s fatal pass or fatal blow in the danger zone. Southgate repeatedly resolves the danger. Beckham and Lampard make up the defense on the waistline. It''s also very important."


    The one-on-one defense wants to completely limit Brazil. This is a fool''s dream. Or, England''s defensive players, one-on-one, face the front line of the top team of the national team, basically have no advantage, do not rely on the team''s strategic joint defense, defense It was a bruise.


    Aldridge took out his notebook and recorded the problems found in the game.


    Today Irving was sitting on the bench, he did not use Husky, but instead made Smith start. From the effect point of view, it was almost a wasted starting spot.


    Brazil''s offense will quickly give the ball to the frontcourt player. Even though Smith tries hard to defend, he can''t rush back from the front line to the backcourt?


    When attacking, after the speed hit, Smith''s ability to attack the front point and threaten the goal is unsatisfactory, or that the huge gap between Owen''s running ability caused this phenomenon. All the threatening offensives in England come from the midfield. The upper back or the front of the two front waists.


    Although there are some problems in the execution of other tactics, this is a problem that needs to be solved by the players, not a defect that cannot be improved.


    In the 36th minute of the first half, England counterattacked, and the Lampard diagonal long pass hit the left side of the Brazilian defense. This is where Carlos assists and cannot go back in time. McManaman specializes when he is transferred from the defense. Run to prepare for this.


    He stopped the ball at the sideline and then took the ball to the bottom. When approaching the bottom line to draw the Brazilian back line back deeper, he suddenly passed the ball back, followed by Beckham who came up to stop the ball, one step adjustment, gold right Foot pass.


    Why is Beckham''s full moon scimitar called stunt unique?


    In addition to the high efficiency of locating the goal, another point is that his passing arc is strange.


    In many of his passing assists, he can often see an incredible phenomenon.


    The ball is clearly close to the goalkeeper. Why didn''t the goalkeeper expand the defensive range to rush out and hug the ball or punch it out?


    It is because Beckham¡¯s passing arc is very large and fast, especially the visual impact caused by the sudden fall, it is the easiest for the goalkeeper to make a mistake. When he sees the ball¡¯s flight trajectory for the first time, he feels that the ball may be out of bounds Or, it may fall to the back point, but as the arc becomes more and more obvious, and the speed of rotation and fall is extremely fast, the goalkeeper becomes embarrassed, and then rushes out, the timing is wrong, not rushing, the defense becomes more difficult.


    This time, it was the same. Beckham¡¯s passing ball seemed to fall into the small penalty area in front of the goalkeeper, but after the ball fell in an arc, the area between the back of the Brazilian central defender and the goalkeeper Going around, the landing point is behind the goal, near the line of the small penalty area.


    This kind of ball not only puts the goalkeeper in a dilemma, but also interferes with the defender. The defender felt that it would be the ball held by the goalkeeper for the first time, and the protection consciousness was lax. The ball hit the ball from the volley, and the ball entered the top corner of the Brazilian goal from the near corner.


    "Beckham cross, Scholes outscoring shot at the back point, beautiful goal! England 1:0 Brazil, who now doubts that Hall''s England lack of wing offense? Lampard long pass landing point On the right, McManaman knocked the ball back to Beckham. He assisted Scholes with a cross pass. This is the familiar English goal mode."


    Wembley screamed cheering, and Beckham and Scholes ran on the side of the court with a laugh on their shoulders.


    Aldridge got up and applauded the team''s goal, then sat back.


    He is very happy that the players can understand his tactical arrangement. In his tactics, the midfield and backcourt players need to use their brains to kick the ball and increase the vision of the ball.


    In each attack, the only fixed point is Scholes in the middle, so from the back to the forward, the choice of the ball must require the player to consciously observe the frontcourt. Just now Lampard¡¯s backcourt long pass instigated the attack. Reflecting this, McManaman ran to the largest place in the sky. The long pass effect of Lampard was actually just average, forcing McManaman to take the ball at the sideline, it took time. If it can be better, McManaman was able to cut in directly, and later he could only draw the opponent''s defense. When Carlos ran back to wrap him, he returned the ball to Beckham.


    In the pass of Beckham, McManaman obliquely inserted into the penalty area to grab the front point. Smith was also in the middle of the goal. The two also created a space for Scholes to make a back-point. In the attack of the sports battle, this time the cooperation was very good. Wonderful, every player on the offensive end has played an important role.

 Chapter 569： The end of a stadium

    After the England team took the lead, the more they played, the more confident they were, and the offense and defense rhythm became smoother.


    What is obvious on the court is the confrontation between two very different football styles, Europe vs South America.


    Ronaldinho played very depressed today. He and Rivaldo didn''t seem to be in the same frequency. When facing the United Marking defensive tactics after England''s compression zone, he can be superior and can get rid of, but the limit is 1VS2, generally It¡¯s okay to pass a player. After passing two players, he will definitely lose the ball, unless he can pass five levels and cut six, from catching the ball to breaking through the goal, but it is obviously not easy to do, so He is looking for more contact with Rivaldo. Rivaldo is sometimes looking for Ronaldinho. He can''t say that the two have no sense of cooperation, but he lacks the tacit understanding of the key pass.


    Ronaldinho was depressed. Today, when he was free, he turned to look at the sidelines and saw that the man sitting on the coach''s seat of the home team was Aldridge, making him uncomfortable and awkward.


    In the second half of the game, the quality of England''s defense continued to improve. With the process of getting familiar with their opponents in the first half, they had more experience defending in the second half. On the basis of the improvement of the defense, the offense played well and the passing from back to front was smooth. Unimpeded, with the patience of Aldridge''s midfield, they opened up their thinking of playing and made them smarter when dealing with the ball, instead of rigidly pursuing passing. When the unmarked player takes the ball When going forward, sometimes you don''t need to pass the ball. As long as you don''t encounter defensive pressure, you keep keeping the ball forward, forcing the opponent to come over and force the ball out, which is more conducive to teammates looking for free frontcourt.


    England''s offense played very well in the second half. Almost every attack can smoothly advance to the forefront of the Brazilian restricted zone, but in the final blow, it is always sighing.


    In the 60th minute, Aldridge replaced Alan Smith with Irving. He gave Smith a high-five on the sidelines. He was not dissatisfied with Smith. The player''s ability is like this. As the head coach, he can''t ask the player to do anything beyond the limit. thing.


    After replacing Irving, England''s offensive power immediately rose by at least one step, and quickly scored a second goal.


    In the 71st minute, England started from the backcourt Ashley Cole and launched a fast pass with a smooth pass.


    Cole, Lampard, Beckham, Neville, the pass from left to right, Neville set the edge and after the midfield line, he kicked the ball back to Lampard near the middle, The latter took the ball forward, Scholes was originally in the middle, but Scholes took the Brazil''s midfield defense all the way forward, giving Lampard a large space from the middle of the road.


    Lampard directly passed the ball to find Irving on the striker. The latter took the ball back and passed it to McManaman, who was running at the rear left. McManaman also kicked the ball to Scot In the case of Guls, a fatal pass from Ginger head came in, and Owen slanted into the back of the Brazilian defender. The rib was empty and the ball was volleyed to send the ball into the net.


    "Fantastic goals, fantastic teamwork! The England team''s attack is a textbook counterattack. I believe this goal will be repeatedly studied by the ball critics after the game. Such a goal has obvious advantages. He imprinted that his coaching skills are most vividly demonstrated in such goals! At 2:0, England leads Brazil by two goals. Such an England deserves our expectations!"


    Aldridge saw this goal for a moment, then walked to the side of the court with excitement, constantly applauding, and then gestured the thumbs up gesture towards the players on the court.


    Comparing European players with South American players, whether it is the overall level or the top players, the technical ability is not in the upper hand, but the advantage is also obvious, that is, the reading ability of the game, the tactical execution of this non-ball-handling ability.


    This ball made Aldridge have to sigh: Scholes is really a world-class player.


    The dull **** head and the football wisdom on the court are amazing.


    In Manchester United''s Scholes in Ferguson''s tactical system, Aldridge researched and studied, and would not over-evaluate the player''s own ball dealer, because he is himself a Manchester United youth player, in the Manchester United first team If he has been playing for more than five years, if he still can''t get his hands on Manchester United''s tactical system, it can only be said that the players themselves have problems or they are not compatible with the tactical system.


    But in just two months of coaching the England team, this was the third game. Scholes played in the new tactical system to make Aldridge look at him differently. When he took over Millwall, Nedved was much faster at the midfield position. Of course, this cannot be compared in detail, and it is not based on a balanced plane.


    The ball just now, if Ashley Cole set up, Scholes will definitely stay in the middle and wait for the ball to transition, because he will become the receiving point, and at the same time, Beckham, as the most famous England star, will definitely be Focusing on defense, you will also encounter huge interception resistance when you step forward.


    It can be replaced by Lampard. Lampard plug is very different from Beckham. The latter takes the right side, Lampard takes the middle road. Scholes makes Lampard through his own forward running position. More midfield space, which caused the Brazilian team to have a brief confusion in the midfield defense. After three seconds with Scholes, he suddenly gave up to intercept Lampard and gave Lampard a free time.


    The role of Scholes in this attack is unforgettable, both providing cover for Lampard and then quickly getting rid of the marking and completing the assist.


    Aldrich now only has one wish to pray to God: during the national team game, don''t hurt the **** head, his role can be replaced by no one!


    If anyone is indispensable for England, in Aldrich¡¯s eyes, only Scholes, players in other positions, change one, the ability is reduced, but at least tactics can still play, but Scholes If it is gone, the attacking system may be in crisis.


    After 2:0, Aldridge gave other players some opportunities, Scholes was replaced by Joe Cole, Lampard was replaced by Gerald, Hargreaves replaced Beckham...


    In the friendly match, with a lead, Aldridge wants to temper young people and immediately arrive at the Christmas Express schedule to give these international players more rest time. It is also good for the national team. Anyway, when they return to the club, they must be entrusted with heavy tasks. .


    In the next 20 minutes, the scene was not very beautiful, and the England team fell into a passive position.


    Hargreaves is still young and immature. On this side, he lacks a tacit understanding with Neville and Ferdinand behind him. At the same time, his defensive ability and tactical awareness are still improving.


    In the 84th minute, Ronaldinho was on his side. He deceived Hargreaves'' center of gravity with a clever shake, and then it was like a sharp knife inserted into the rib. Neville did not expect Hargreaves. It would be so easy to break through, urgently to the inside, but Ronaldinho and Carlos played a two-by-one effort to get off the bottom. When Ferdinand intercepted Ronaldinho''s cross in front of the bottom, Ronaldinho''s fake action shook the ball and rolled. The ball was swept towards the goal like a pass. The ball was very sudden and hit Seaman by surprise. Rivaldo pushed the ball after getting out.


    Seeing the team conceding the ball, Hargreaves, who was easily passed by, looked very frustrated with his hand. Neville estimated that he wanted to teach him a few words, but Southgate first walked over to Hargreaves. Si said a few words.


    Encourage first, and then tell him the main points of defense.


    Like he just opened a distance from Bart and Neville, Ronaldinho intercepted Ronaldinho alone, the end was very miserable, 10 more times, it is estimated that at least 7 times will still be blown away by Ronaldinho, should learn to learn Beckham, in this The area closed first, closed inside, and Beckham was not missed, but all forced the opponent to pass him. He could only go outside and fall into Neville''s defensive area. Beckham then withdrew Neville and Ferdinand. Between time and space, the joint defense always maintains the level and does not give the other party a chance to breathe.


    Hargreaves listened patiently and nodded after listening. Before re-kicking the ball into position, Southgate shoved his head to make him cheer up.


    Counting stoppage time, in the last 7 minutes, the Brazil team pressed the England team to attack. England only had 3 chances to counterattack and played 2 times, but it was not close to the goal. The Brazil team¡¯s attack has many good opportunities, but all Spoiled because the player''s cooperation is not clear.


    Aldridge only had one sigh on the sidelines: Brazil''s card, so **** good!


    This is still the lack of Ronaldo¡¯s Brazil team, or a Brazil team without a clear tactical system. However, due to the player¡¯s personal ability, he can often gain local advantages and derive a good offensive opportunity. If he can temper a better team tactics , Unlimited power.


    "The whole game ended, 2:1, England defeated the visiting Brazil team at home. Hall coached England''s third game and still won. Three games, two friendly games, one world preliminaries, England played separately. We scored 3 goals, 6 goals, 2 goals, and only lost one goal. The 11:1 goal score data gives us confidence in this England team and we can¡¯t wait to see England play in the World Championship. England this year¡¯s All the schedule has ended, and at the same time, Wembley has to say goodbye to all fans for the time being. After this game, Wembley will be closed for renovation. We don¡¯t know how long this project will take. News from the FA shows that within about 5 years, we will be back at Wembley Stadium again!"


    The narrator is still too optimistic and blindly believes in the optimistic expectations of the FA. The Wembley rebuild is more protracted than planned, and as long as the construction company is involved in the Wembley remodeling project, basically all of them are crying blind. Because the project cost will rise faster than expected in the next few years, the time it takes to rebuild Wembley is even longer than the time it takes to build a new ball field!


    Wembley is about to close, the scene is full of people, Aldridge and the national team players applauded to the stands on the sidelines. In any case, they witnessed the end of a great stadium era. The next time we return to Wembley, here will be It will be called: New Wembley Stadium.


    The fans in the stands first warmly celebrated the team''s friendly match victory, the applause was loud and the cry continued, and then, the fans started to start!


    It was really busy, it was like a locust disaster raging past. Ding Ding ßÛ ßÛ dismantled the stadium seats, happily moved home to commemorate.


    He noticed that the fans¡¯ actions made Aldridge a little bit irritable. When he walked into the player¡¯s tunnel, he pulled a court staff member and asked the other party to help him to take down two chairs. Special and Earl''s seats should be quite chic.

 Chapter 570： Heroes have suffered many times since ancient times

    The national team will not be assembled again until March next year. Aldridge¡¯s national team work can be temporarily released, and there is enough time for him to arrange for the preparations for the world preliminaries.


    But he is still busy because Millwall is about to travel to Tokyo, Japan, to participate in the Toyota Cup.


    On the night of the national team''s game, Lampard and Ashley Cole came to Audridge''s home together.


    Aldrich was ready to go to sleep. He was in pajamas and invited the two disciples into the living room. Lampard told Aldrich not to pour water. Aldrich didn¡¯t listen. He still gave them a cup of warm water on the coffee table. on.


    "It''s not too early, so just open the door and say anything."


    Aldridge sat down and waited for the two to express their intentions.


    Lampard and Cole looked at each other. Cole''s eyes signaled for Lampard to speak, and Lampard said solemnly: "Boss, Ashley and I feel that the chances of playing at the club are a bit less, we I want to rent it out and exercise through the game, both to improve my ability and accumulate more experience. At the same time, I and he both want to use this to ensure the main position of the national team.


    Aldridge nodded, not surprisingly.


    In fact, this is also what he was hesitating. The two people were loaned out. It was an idea that came up when he took over the national team. After all, in the club, Zambrotta and Pirlo suppressed them violently. The number of appearances for the substitute The chances they get are not small, but in important games, especially when playing in the Premier League''s upstream teams, they don''t have much playing time unless the main player is injured.


    No matter how Aldridge did, he could not reduce the number of appearances of Zambrotta and Pirlo in Millwall just because he also served as the national team, and train the national team players. In doing so, the consequence is centrifugation.


    But lending the two out also weakened Millwall''s strength. Although Neil may be more experienced than Cole in the same position, Alonso is still younger in the position of Lampard.


    Considering Alonso''s age, he should also be given more playing time to exercise. In fact, in the summer, Audridge thought of lending one of Alonso and Lampard, but he was afraid of Alon In the early part of his career, Sau went to a team that did not meet his characteristics and would be ruined, and he was reluctant to have a certain guarantee of a capable player in the game, so he dispelled that idea.


    The two have now played three official games in the national team. Cole is well-formed. Lampard occasionally has a place to shine. If they want to sit in the main position, they really need to get more appearances in the league to improve.


    Aldridge encouraged them and agreed to their application. The club will help them contact the loan target club before the transfer window opens in January.


    For the convenience of the players'' lives, Aldridge sent Lampard and Cole to the club that night, and then let the club contact two Premier League clubs in London, Tottenham and Charlton. As for Arsenal and Chelsea, Aldridge did not consider it.


    The next day, Tottenham and Charlton responded to Millwall.


    It''s just that the positions of the two teams are very different.


    Charlton is willing to accept Millwall''s recommended lease. They are small businesses. Although geographical factors and Millwall should be a hateful relationship with the "dead enemy Derby", in fact, Charlton is in Crystal Palace, West Ham United Between the team and Millwall, there is no sense in this area. Charlton played against these three clubs. Not only did they not see the signs of dead enemies, they didn¡¯t even have the atmosphere of the Derby. Therefore, the two clubs There are no obstacles to cooperation, from team relations to fan reactions, no problem.


    Charlton accepts leases, but is unable to afford rents and cannot pay the salary of Millwall first-team players. They can afford up to 60% of the salary.


    Tottenham might have the self-esteem of the old powerhouse.


    They hope to get Cole and Lampard in the form of rent + buyout.


    Originally, Aldridge felt that Tottenham were more suitable for Lampard and Cole, because the Tottenham lineup is not connected, the young is too young, the old is too old, there are almost ten players in the first team are over 30 years old, Cole and Lan Pade has a guaranteed chance of going there, why? Young people are not as good as them. Old people must take reasonable breaks. Can they have fewer opportunities? As long as playing a beautiful game or two, you can firmly get the starting position.


    But Tottenham''s request, Aldridge could not accept it, and finally chose Charlton. Aldridge took a step back. Charlton did not need to pay the rental fee, and the salary only had to bear 50%, which was less than what they requested. 10%.


    Millwall actually doesn''t care about the salary expenditures of Lampard and Cole. It is good to have the other party help leveling and not pay extra.


    However, in this lease agreement, the other party must also be required to pay salaries.


    why?


    If the other party does not bear the salary expenditure, it can be considered without any monetary benefit.


    Do not use it, anyway, do not pay for it, no, then no need to chant.


    Although the wages of both of them need to be paid, although they have been halved, in Charlton''s salary system, it is still equivalent to the salary expenditures of the two main players. If they are not used, the money will be equal to the water.


    Of course, Charlton hopes to have these two players join to strengthen their strength and help the team get a higher Premier League ranking. As long as the Premier League ranking can be improved by one or two than originally expected, then the league ranking bonus is divided into, They earned it.


    It was under such considerations that Aldridge agreed to loan Lampard and Cole to Charlton until the end of the season.


    As for Millwall to win the cup at the end of the season, neither of them is the main force. Last season''s Triple Crown, all of them won the substitute status to win the championship. Even if Millwall won any championship this season, it is still a substitute status. For the players themselves The meaning of it does not make much difference, plus it is still young and has the future of the national team in mind. It is wise to rent out to exercise. Mixed champions or something, only players who are not ambitious will consider this.


    In the 16th round of the Premier League, Millwall beat the visiting Middlesbrough 2-0 at home. Manchester United scored eight consecutive victories and continued to lead Millwall by 3 points after defeating Tottenham.


    Seeing that the first half of the league is coming to an end, Millwall feels less than expected and has a tendency to fall, especially when compared with last season.


    At the end of the league, Millwall''s preparation atmosphere changed slightly, the players were dedicated, and they were looking forward to the next game.


    In the fifth round of the first stage of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Millwall played against Sparta Moscow.


    The grudges and grudges of the two teams on the football field are basically that you chopped me off yesterday. Today we will meet again. If I can¡¯t drain your blood, it¡¯s that you sprinkle salt on my wound again and again Cycling.


    Spartak Moscow is the second team that has beaten Millwall in the European War so far. Especially after that game, Audric¡¯s training in the locker room also stimulated the players. Now, the two teams meet again. Well, no matter what the opponent''s emotions, Millwall team up and down to make the opponent regret coming to London, never dare to recall this game!


    The day before the game, Aldridge was going to attend a press conference after training, but Najib came to the first team training ground. After greeting the leaving players, he walked to Aldridge and said: "Youth A player on the side of the team is out of order."


    "Ah? Who?"


    "Cristiano Ronaldo."


    "Um? That kid is upset?"


    "No, he has a heart problem, and he needs an operation."


    Aldridge stopped suddenly and was frightened.


    This Nima''s, is it really hard for heroes since ancient times?


    Messi will not say it, and Kaka, who is still undergoing rehabilitation treatment at the London Hospital, will not mention it. Cristiano Ronaldo can be a tiger.


    Let¡¯s go to the press conference!


    Aldridge stepped up and walked with Najib towards the club''s medical department.


    On the way, Najib told him the details.


    Cristiano Ronaldo will be 16 years old in February next year. The club is now starting to write a professional contract for him, and then let him conduct a more comprehensive medical examination symbolically, but he finds that his heart rate is abnormal, which is obviously faster than the average person. This is not a There is a good sign that professional players run and accelerate frequently on the field, and their heartbeats will be faster. If the heartbeats are too fast, this may lead to sudden death.


    The incident happened in the morning, and it is already in the afternoon. Ronaldo''s family rushed from Portugal to the club.


    The medical department is not in a hurry to follow the steps. If the doctor panics, will the patient be saved?


    As soon as he stepped on the floor of the medical department, Aldridge appeared, and several young people in the corridor stood up to greet him, and his expression became full of admiration and respect.


    Aldridge didn''t know them, but could think of it as Ronaldo''s siblings.


    The team doctor in charge of Ronaldo''s medical examination is Mechel, who is in the office to contact the appropriate surgeon to give Ronaldo.


    Aldridge pushed in and saw a strange sight.


    Ronaldo''s mother, Dolores, covered her face and wept. Ronaldo''s father frowned and said nothing. Instead, Ronaldo sat next to his mother and hugged her shoulders to comfort adults.


    This kid should know that he has a heart problem, but now he comforts his mother as if he is okay.


    Aldrich didn''t know what to say.


    Well, there is a problem with the heart, but the psychological quality is boundless.


    "Mr. Hall, please save my child!"


    When Dolores saw the arrival of Aldridge, he immediately stood up and grabbed Aldridge with his hands, his tears all over his face, and his eyes gleamed with despair.


    The source of their family change is Ronaldo. If Ronaldo cannot make a living from playing football, what else can he do? do not know.


    Now Dolores hasn''t imagined that much, just expecting Ronaldo to be healthy, her mother will be satisfied.


    Aldridge patted the back of her hand gently, comforting: "Relax, he must be fine, I will talk to the team doctor first."


    Mechel is working in the back room of the office, the door is hidden, Aldridge knocks on the door and walks in, to learn more about Mechel, he does not understand the medical terms, but Mechel said that only a minor operation can be Healed, there will be no sequelae at all.


    Aldrich came out and told the matter to Ronaldo¡¯s parents. The club had also contacted a prestigious doctor and could help Ronaldo to perform surgery within two days.


    Mechel walked out of the office, and Ronaldo''s parents greeted him to confirm the information.


    Aldridge saw C Ronaldo breathing relievedly, and then sat down.


    This kid comforted his mother just like an adult. In fact, he must have been frightened, but he could behave like that at that time, good kid!

 Chapter 571： 8 seconds

    Aldridge sat down next to Ronaldo and asked softly, "Are you afraid?"


    Ronaldo wrinkled his nose like a disdainful expression and said, "I didn''t feel anything, but the doctor said it was too scary!"


    Aldridge chuckled and nodded: "Yes, doctors have a skill that is scary. Some doctors outside to make money will exaggerate the condition, so that patients can¡¯t wait for their families to spend money to treat the disease, but our team doctors should be dedicated and honest. , To tell you the serious consequences, to explain the necessity of surgery."


    C Luo shook his head slightly: "But he told me to be alone, and he also told my family specifically, voila, my mother was crying. I don''t think it''s necessary at all. If you want to have an operation, then do it. ."


    Aldrich raised his head to touch his head, deliberately disturbed his hair, and laughed and cursed: "Don''t really treat yourself as an adult, you are not an adult, and the operation is not approved by your family, regardless of whether the operation is successful or not, this is all That''s wrong! I heard that you have recently made a big splash in the youth team. How are you doing? Combat with other powerful youth teams in Europe, do you have any feelings?"


    Ronaldo was still a careless tone, saying: "Just like that, don''t think how powerful other European youth teams are."


    In the "next generation" league between the European club youth teams, the Millwall youth team has successfully advanced to the quarter-finals, and Ronaldo is the biggest star in the frontcourt.


    Thinking of his adulthood at the age of 16, coupled with the operation now, Aldridge was "good hearted."


    "What gift do you want? I''ll give it to you as a gift for your 16th birthday."


    Ronaldo rolled his eyes, turned his head and raised his face in earnest, and said seriously: "What do you want?"


    Aldrich wanted to fan his head angrily, this kid is really welcome.


    If you want a sports car, I will give you a model!


    He nodded.


    Cristiano Ronaldo blurted out immediately: "Let me play in the first team."


    Aldridge really took his head lightly this time.


    It makes people angry and wants to laugh.


    "I have told you many times that you are at a critical stage of development. Can your confrontation ability be compared to an adult who is 10 years old or even 15 years older than you? In case you are injured or even seriously injured in a collision, This will affect your entire career."


    Ronaldo touched his head with a stubborn expression: "I''m not asking for the main force. Occasionally let me go up to play. I am playing football with a group of children now, and I feel boring."


    Aldridge didn''t really know what else to say. He was obviously a child, but he didn''t have the consciousness of a child.


    Probably, it has something to do with his jumping training.


    He trained with U14 when he was 12 years old, and he trained with U16 when he was 14 years old. Now he is 16 years old, and he has already trained with U18 echelon.


    This also says that those 18-year-old teammates or opponents are children, boring!


    "How is it? What did you just promise?"


    "Okay, exactly when I will arrange it. You will feel at ease first."


    "That''s a deal!"


    Aldridge stood up with a wry smile, chatting with Ronaldo''s parents a little more, and then asked the club to arrange hotel accommodation for them.


    At the pre-match press conference in Moscow Sparta, Aldridge was almost half an hour late. He came to the press room and said sorry first. He didn¡¯t say the specific reason for being late, and he had nothing to say about this game. Is one word: win!


    Millwall now has only 7 points. Although he ranks second in the group, if they lose or tie, their situation will be a little optimistic.


    In this group, Hamburger was thinned out and scored by three other teams. At the third place, Sporting Lisbon now has 4 points. If Sporting Lisbon wins Hamburg again in this round, Sporting Lisbon will have 7 points.


    Aldridge does not want to keep the suspense in the final round, as long as they win today''s game, because they have a one-on-one battle advantage with Atletico Lisbon, they will declare their promotion to the top 16.


    Cristiano Ronaldo''s surgery was scheduled earlier than expected. On the afternoon of the next day, he went with his family to perform the surgery. This surgery was very simple when listening to Mitchell''s introduction, and did not require too much preparation.


    Ronaldo finished his surgery in the evening, and jumped out of the operating room. He felt like he walked into the operating room for a circle. He was going to train with enthusiasm, and his mother Dolores was startled and quickly let him Going back to rest, the club sent their family VIP tickets for the Champions League game at night, and Ronaldo went to the Lion King Stadium with his siblings and parents to watch the game.


    Coincidentally, today the Kaka family was also invited to the Lion King Stadium to watch the ball. They were sitting in the box next to the Ronaldo family.


    Before the game started, Aldrich first went to the box where Kaka¡¯s family was. Kaka now looks like a healthy person, but he is still in the recovery phase, he can¡¯t exercise vigorously to avoid a second spine injury, Odric Qi talked briefly with their family and hoped that they would enjoy the game here.


    Kaka stood in front of the window of the box, looking at the crowded scene of the entire stadium, and the Millwall flag was flying on the stands. This spectacular scene is actually no stranger to Brazil, but like this British fan cheering scene is The first time I saw, the stadium echoed with singing, a blue ocean, and one after another fixed flags and slogans on the stadium stands, showing off Millwall''s contemporary greatness.


    Aldrich came to the box where Ronaldo''s family is. This is actually Ronaldo''s first time sitting in the box to watch the ball. Before that, he trained well and got free tickets. They were all sitting in the stands with his teammates. Today He, like the owner here, is sitting on the seat with a pretentious face, mature and ruthless in disguise, pointing to let the brothers and sisters not to be polite, drink here casually, eat snacks casually! Seeing the ball is not exciting, okay, call the waiter to help bet on the game and entertain, the brother will not participate, the team rules, the player can not participate in football betting, the brother does not like this, his hobby is slot machine.


    After Aldrich came in, Ronaldo''s parents got up and greeted each other. They thanked Ronaldo for having surgery during the day and living at night.


    Aldridge stood by the door and whispered to Dolores.


    "The club will start tomorrow to go to Japan to participate in a cup, we will bring him, if you have time, please come with you, the club is all inclusive, he is about 16 years old, I want him to play in the next game The stage debut of his career. At this moment that makes sense to him, I think his family can support him on the spot and watching him will make him happier."


    Dolores covered her mouth in disbelief, and her wide eyes showed how surprised she was.


    Yesterday I was scared and afraid that Ronaldo¡¯s football dream was ruined. Not only did the operation succeed, but I also received such a news that was enough to inspire my family.


    "Okay, okay! We must go and cheer him on."


    "Well, okay, there will be a club staff to contact you to help you get through the formalities. He and we are going to be a game, you guys, just go on a tour, there will be an interpreter to accompany you throughout the journey, I want to go I¡¯m directing the game. If you have any questions, please call me.


    Dolores waved her goodbye to Audric. After the door closed, she held her hand on her chest with emotion.


    Mr. Hall, what a wonderful person!


    When the Champions League theme song sounded on the court, Aldridge came late and walked out of the player channel, first went to shake hands with the Moscow Spartan coach, slap the opponent''s arm, and then walked back to the home team coach Xi sat down, picked up a mineral water bottle and drank, his expression became serious and meticulous.


    This game must be won, not only for the battle of revenge, but also for the consideration of the schedule, Millwall will go to Tokyo after finishing this game, and will return to the difficult stage of the Premier League schedule to speed up, the final round of the UEFA Champions League group stage , Reduce stress as much as possible.


    Spartan Moscow currently has 12 points, and it has been determined that they can qualify, but the game can not be said to be desperate. They must want to qualify as the first group, and then avoid the group in the next stage of the group. Because the next grouping is a mix of two groups first and two groups second, if they are group second, they may be in the same group as the two groups first.


    "In the fifth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Millwall sat at the Lion King Stadium and ushered in an opponent they desperately wanted to beat: Moscow Sparta. In the European competition, so far, only Bayern Munich and Moscow Sparta have defeated Millwall, to some extent, because Moscow Sparta broke cold on Millwall, causing the reputation of their team to increase significantly in the past two months, many people are curious what this is like Team? How can you beat Millwall, who is so invincible? But objectively speaking, there is a big reason why Moscow Sparta wins is because of their home advantage. Their guest game is not outstanding, rely on The counterattack sneak attack wins Hamburg. Today, in the face of Millwall, who has terror suppression at home, can their sneak tactics still work?"


    Millwall''s performance in the first half of the season has slipped compared to last season. The outside world thinks that it is directly related to Nedved''s serious injury. Even if Klose is arranged to play well in the midfield, the ball and goal data are very good, but he Can not replace the role of Nedved, there are many changes in the formation of Nedved, Millwall, 4231, 433, 442, 4312, 4321, in the game of constantly changing sports, Nedved has both offensive and defensive, he It is the key to Millwall¡¯s flexible frontline formation to create opponents¡¯ defensive chaos, and Klose can provide less change. 433 to 442 is more common. He is powerful when he enters the penalty area and doubles with Henry. Not bad, but the change is always less, which has weakened Millwall''s offensive power.


    But for Klose, the external evaluation is still very high. He can play many roles on the offensive end, center, winger, midfielder, shadow forward, and he is still very young and has a promising future.


    Today Millwall still uses Klose to play the midfield, at least the starting lineup is this way, but the formation can be flexibly switched.


    Sparta Moscow did not know whether it was because of the four-game winning streak in the Champions League group stage, plus the previous defeat of Millwall, the formation was somewhat scattered after the kick-off of the middle circle, and did not take the initiative to close back, but the forward added a forward punch Go up to steal.


    Pirlo was in front of the middle circle, directly in front of a long pass, Klose ran forward from the kick-off. He actually followed the inertia, waiting for Ronaldinho to make a threat on the sideline, he ran empty and took the ball. Before Ronaldinho ran up, Pirlo''s long pass reached the top of his head.


    With his back turned to the opponent''s goal, Klose jumped backwards with a long leg and his head kicked back.


    The ball bounced towards the small penalty area behind him, and Henry passed through between the two central defenders. Before Klose headed the ball, he ran like this, because it was obviously impossible for Klose to put the ball under his feet, Klose back Towards the goal, without long eyes behind his head, he must unconsciously look at the top of the penalty area. Henry has this sense of running position. This ball has been played!


    After stopping into the penalty area, Henry stopped the ball, the opponent''s goalkeeper attacked, Henry directly smashed the ball to get rid of the opponent, and pushed the ball into the empty goal at a small angle.


    The game started, just, 8 seconds.

 Chapter 572： The signs are wrong!

    "My God! At the beginning, Millwall scored! Henry and Klose kicked in the middle circle, Klose passed the ball back to Pirlo, then Klose and Henry ran forward, Pirlo The ball was held in place for about 2 seconds, and then a long pass was suddenly launched. Klose headed the ball into the penalty area when he leaned back against the opponent''s midfielder. This ball was from Moscow Spartan double centre-back Flying into the penalty area in the middle, Henry was lightning fast. After receiving the ball in the penalty area, he flexibly crossed the goalkeeper and pushed the shot! Has Hall made a mistake in the tactical arrangement? Why is this goal? Why? Is the England national team and Millwall soul swapped? Is Hall mixing the England national captain''s rushing tactics with Millwall? We are confirming the exact time of this goal, but it should be ten seconds ago. Obviously, this is a goal recorded in the history of the Champions League, the fastest goal! The founder is Thierry Henry from Millwall, this goal like a grass shooter this season, although the goal rate is somewhat reduced, But his condition has been very stable."


    After scoring a goal, Henry beckoned coldly to Klose. He walked to the side of the stadium like a fitness jog. He wore warm gloves and waited for Klose to bend his arms before exerting a strong smile.


    The Lion King Stadium was thunderous, but some fans were really stomping their feet, and they were really not fans of Moscow Sparta. They were frustrated at best for losing the team.


    Some of the angry Lion fans who entered the theater a little late were just getting into the field to find seats, while others were a little more than ten seconds late.


    They were all stunned by the sudden burst of cheers on the court.


    Goal scored?


    Well, scored a goal!


    Millwall, engage in wool!


    We didn¡¯t see anything. Why do we score so early?


    In case, this is the only goal in the game, shall we lose? !


    I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s a loss or not. Anyway, someone who is sympathetic to them is sitting on the coach seat.


    Aldridge was depressed and dead.


    At the beginning of the kick, he took a sip of mineral water, screwed on the lid, and then bent down to place the water bottle next to the seat.


    Without raising his head, the cheers and applause of the coaching staff around him made his eardrum irritated.


    Raising his head and looking towards the stadium, Moscow Spartan players stood akimbo, Millwall players were divided into two piles to celebrate, Henry went to the sidelines, Pirlo side celebrated with other teammates high-five.


    Aldridge had to smile bitterly, turning his head and whispering to Klinsmann, "I don''t think I have the life of an audience."


    "why?"


    "Because I always miss the goal."


    "Did you see it again?"


    "Well, put your water bottle down, raise your head, and the ball is in."


    "Hahaha, it seems that you will be forced to keep your eyes on for 90 minutes in the future."


    Aldridge''s head also smiled.


    Spartan players in Moscow appeared helpless and unconvinced.


    The feng shui took turns. They sneaked in the UEFA Champions League group stage to fight against the family. Now they are sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. They will wait for the first group. When they locally advanced to the second stage group stage, the last time they played against Millwall at home, I don''t think how powerful this crazy lion, known as the strongest in Europe, just came to the road today, and was first stolen by the other party''s lightning. This goal, if it is not good, will be written into history. They become the background.


    Millwall has a hard power gap with Moscow Sparta. Hard power can generally be interpreted as a superposition of individual player abilities.


    Every game, the fighting power of a team is different, the strength reflected in the game is hard power + soft power.


    Soft power is more complicated, including the intricacies of technical and tactical play, mental willpower, venue environment, player fighting spirit, physical condition and so on.


    Therefore, soft power can be negative. After hard power + soft power, it may appear that the strength is not as good as hard power, that is, paper power.


    For example, some strong teams, because of the lack of technical and tactical play, give people the feeling that they cannot always play their level.


    Another example is Millwall¡¯s first UEFA Champions League group game as a guest in Moscow. Due to fatigue caused by the long flight time, the inadaptability to the venue, the time difference, the adaptability of the weather to suddenly become cold, etc. It is lower than the level they usually fight in London, so the strength of their manifestation has a big contrast, and eventually loses.


    The reason why Aldridge questioned the fighting spirit of the players in the locker room after the game is because in the opinion of the coaching staff, even if the team is affected by various factors, the fighting power should be stronger than the opponent, but in the end Lost in the lack of fighting spirit.


    Football is destined not to be a leisurely aristocratic sport like golf. The 22 players on the court have no distinction between noble and cheap, and fighting for one''s life is one of the most basic requirements.


    When a player feels that he can dance gracefully and gracefully, he can win opponents and let everyone worship, then there is nothing fuss about failure.


    Millwall lost a 1:2 away last time. How many vengeance did he return home to win today?


    1 sounds like a tie, 2 seems to have reached the goal of bloodletting, 3, can you stop?


    No, there are not so many calculations in the arena. Sometimes it¡¯s just like the city¡¯s arrogant. I¡¯ll take advantage of punching you with one punch and one kick. Without that thought, I really put up my sleeves and waved my fists, so I beat the opponent. Can''t stand up and beg for mercy!


    On the football field, if you don¡¯t show your true skills to compete with your opponents, the next thing to win or not is the second. Attitude itself has problems. That is to despise your opponents, disrespect the game and the opponents. Such a team cannot win the world. Respect.


    Millwall briefly made such a mistake, believing that with sixty-seven percent of his success, he would be able to let his opponent raise his hand and surrender, and he was punished.


    Aldridge corrected the team''s mistake. In today''s game, Millwall waited for this moment for a long time.


    When Spartan Moscow traveled to London, they also had to get jet lag, and they had to adapt to the venue. Of course, the Lion King Stadium was in good condition, and they played more comfortably. It was nothing more than adapting to the length and width of the court and the football on natural turf. Running inertia only.


    Spartan Moscow organized the offensive patiently, and Millwall''s current technical and tactical system has reached its peak. Not only can the offensive system be flexibly converted, but the defensive strategy can also be changed at any time with the opponent.


    Like now, the Moscow Spartan formation is relatively large, and the player¡¯s distance is kept moderate, not compact. Millwall withdraws the defensive zone and starts to increase the force from the midfield. Once the opponent shrinks the formation, then Milvo Seoul will adjust to high-pressure forced snatch.


    Moscow Spartan midfielder encountered obstacles to move forward, forced a long pass to find the right forward in front, Zambrotta grabbed the header and ferried to Pirlo, Pirlo and Gattuso made a two pass After bringing the ball to the midfield, seeing Ronaldinho''s running position, he chose the ball and transferred to the left.


    Ronaldinho rushed with the ball and suddenly braked when facing the opposing defender. The opposing defender stopped abruptly and pulled away a little distance. Ronaldinho swayed a bit and deceived the other party. The other party thought that Ronaldinho would be inward and hurried. After blocking up, Ronaldinho started again, smashed the ball directly to the bottom and broke through successfully, then cut in at the bottom line, observed the situation in front of the goal under unmarked, a precise pass showed his excellent footwork .


    The Spartan goalkeeper in Moscow made a mistake, jumped up and reached for the ball, but the ball was ten centimeters above his fingertips. Klose had missed the point before, but attracted the defender''s defensive attention. Henry was at the goal Midway also cannot form an attack in front of the goalkeeper, the ball''s landing point is behind the goal.


    The audience even thought that Ronaldinho''s foot ball was hanging, and the goal post was behind the ball!


    But if looking at the longitudinal line of the bottom line, this ball is obviously not a hanging goal, Ronaldinho consciously passes the goal behind the goal.


    Larsson cut out and there was a lot of free space after the outsourcing. The other side''s defender couldn''t catch up. The step was just right. Larsson didn''t need to exert too much force. After jumping forward, gently use the forehead to push the falling ball forward. At the top, the ball entered the goal.


    "Ronaldinho''s beautiful pass assist Larson easily broke the goal, ten minutes, Millwall led by two goals! This is what we are familiar with Millwall''s goal mode, look at Ronaldinho in The breakthrough on the left is awesome. He calmly teased his opponent and then skillfully assisted his teammates in scoring. The highly scoring process of the goal was good."


    Larson ran to Ronaldinho, kneeled on one knee, and asked Ronaldinho to put his right foot on his leg, willingly making a shoe-shine celebration.


    In terms of football talent, Larson really feels ashamed. With a teammate like Ronaldinho, he feels a lot easier even scoring goals.


    Ronaldinho took the initiative to hug Larson after smiling, and the two faced the stands innocently, pointing at each other, seemingly cherishing each other.


    Aldridge simply stood up and applauded and his arms kept rising, indicating that the cheers in the stadium were louder! Bigger!


    Crazy Lion fans are very respectful, and even the passionate whistle in the stadium is deafening.


    Watching Millwall''s game is a high-end enjoyment.


    Aldrich is satisfied with Ronaldinho at this stage, at least when he is dedicated to playing football, he is one of the most trusted players.


    Whether it is Ronaldinho or Henry, this season is very important for them.


    What is a star?


    The star is not a player who has played an existing phenomenon, but a player who can continue to stabilize at a high level.


    Henry''s goals have declined this season. In addition to the little impact of the summer rest time, it is also because his double-material golden boots last season attracted the attention of all opponents. He is definitely the focus of opponents'' marking in each game, but it is just Under such pressure, Henry can still score more goals than other forwards, although less than the same period last season, but this represents his performance, his performance is tending to be stable, stable at a top level On the level.


    Ronaldinho is also the same, it is the most important at this stage to be stable and mature.


    As long as they can concentrate on playing football, it will be a matter of time before they become recognized as green superstars.


    What is a superstar?


    That is, all opponents study you, focus on marking you, and list you as the number one on the danger list. However, in the game, you still can not limit your play, then you are a super star!


    Spartan Moscow lost two goals in ten minutes, which is a clear picture of today''s situation.


    The signs are wrong!


    The last time they played, the gang didn''t see any great places. Today''s aura is obviously different.


    Oh, by the way, the last time the black guy didn''t play, it was the first time today. The extraordinary movements are really coherent and difficult to deal with.


    He didn''t even finish half of the half and lost two goals. Spartan Moscow had to repair the fence first, but they didn''t know that it took 80 minutes to repair the fence. , And it hasn¡¯t been fixed.

 Chapter 573： massacre

    Moscow Sparta took the initiative to repair the defense line. To put it bluntly, it was to increase the number of defenders. The defense line was withdrawn as a whole. It was too late for the midfielder and the central defender to make up for the assist defense, allowing Ronaldinho to easily aim at the point and stage an assist.


    As a result, Millwall also adjusted his offensive and defensive strategies accordingly. The defense zone advanced in advance, using high pressure to snatch, and the offense was mainly based on short pass penetration.


    Sparta Moscow today is really a real experience of what is the strength of the strongest team in Europe!


    Even if they use intensive defense, they still can''t limit Millwall''s pervasive ground pass penetration attack.


    In the 22nd minute, Ronaldinho''s ribs in the penalty area were empty, receiving a straight plug from Pirlo''s pass from the seam, stopping the ball and getting rid of it. The continuous movement of stopping and pulling back made him shake away the central defender in the front. Also adjusted the shooting space, he directly kicked the shot, the ball did not hit the arc, was swiftly blocked by the goalkeeper of Moscow Sparta.


    The ball flew to the other side of the penalty area, followed by Larson cleverly grabbed the landing point, non-stop ball to grab the shot, deliberately pushed the dead corner with his arch to ensure stability.


    when!


    The ball hit the goal post and bounced out again.


    At this time, the Spartan Moscow restricted area has been turned over, the player who blocked the shot and the rescue in front of the door fell on the ground, and the others were dizzy, unable to find North.


    The ball blocked by the goalpost was in the middle of the penalty area this time. Before the opponent''s defender cleared, Klose rushed forward and kicked the ball into the goal.


    Three Moscow Spartans fell to the ground in the penalty area, while the others stood, watching the goal pierced for the third time in disbelief.


    Obviously they have more people, but in the ability to catch the ball''s landing point, Millwall''s forwards have their own skills, and the level is the gap in ability.


    "3:0! Klose helped Millwall lock in the win halfway through the first half. If someone said that Moscow Sparta could score three goals at the Lion King Stadium, I don''t believe it, no one would believe! Mill Wall has no suspense to advance to the Champions League!"


    On the sidelines, there was a scene that made the fans in the stands warmer.


    I saw Klose scored with Henry, Ronaldinho, Larson, Pirlo, Schneider, six of them ran to the home team coach, six people fanned out to face Aldridge, seven of them portraits It is a pose to fight a slightly lower body, and the right fist swings down a small amount three times, and then swings the fist into the sky with an upper hook.


    Millwall, it should be so public on the field, passion, not forever!


    Even if it is a contest of strength and weakness, but because of the previous loss to the opponent, today''s game can still stimulate the adrenaline of every Millwall.


    After the celebration, Aldridge hugged Klose''s head and kissed him fiercely, then pulled him over and pushed him towards the court.


    Due to Nedved¡¯s unexpectedly serious injury, Klose has gotten a lot of appearances so far this season. His ability still needs to be improved, but he is a very obedient player. Audric¡¯s demands on him are all meticulous. Completion, especially the sense of doing ball.


    As for things beyond his ability, Aldridge will not be demanding. For example, when he plays Nedved''s midfield, the defense must not be able to achieve a large-scale retreat like Nedved.


    Spartan Moscow was completely beaten, and the Mud Bodhisattva still had a three-pointer. As the team that has already qualified for this group, they came to the Lion King Stadium with full confidence.


    The last match against Millwall defeated them, causing their popularity in UEFA to rise. Today, for the second time, they want to use Millwall again as a springboard, stepping on Millwall to improve their own team. Fame is recognized by all of Europe.


    Three goals were conceded in 23 minutes. They stepped up their fight and the offense was very direct.


    In the second half of the first half, Sparta Moscow suffered the "tragic incident" that may be the biggest stadium in their club''s history.


    When they lose their minds and fight like beasts, the defense becomes more and more.


    Four minutes after Klose''s goal, only four minutes later, Pirlo took Henry''s heel and kicked the ball in front of the penalty area and made a long shot to penetrate the door of the visiting team again.


    Aldridge didn''t smile anymore, and held his fists high on the sidelines with a cold face!


    All European giants have not dared to spread to the Lion King Stadium. The champion of the second-tier league in Eastern Europe, dare to break ground in Taisui?


    What kind of team do you think you are facing?


    We are crazy lions, but the undefeated king of 64 games in the league!


    Since you cannot recognize the situation, I will help you!


    In the 37th minute, Ronaldinho and Klose crossed the position in front of the penalty area. Ronaldinho passed the ball in front of the penalty area and hit the anti-cut route to give the ball to Klose. The latter swept the door and Henry did not move to Lar. Sen made a screen, Larson rushed to the middle and shot the ball into the net.


    In the 43rd minute, Larson unexpectedly took the ball to the bottom and passed the ball low. Henry scored a small angle to break the goal before slanting the ball and also scored twice.


    The scene was crazy, and the stands were boiling. Fans jumping on the stands happily celebrating like singing and dancing, they couldn''t stop!


    "Crazy, this is crazy! 6:0, the first half did not end! 6:0! It has not been clear from the start of Moscow Sparta, or they have been relaxed early to qualify, In any case, this game is destined to be a disaster for their club to write in the history of European war!"


    Other UEFA Champions League simultaneous kick-offs are also being broadcast live, but many TV viewers were stunned by the instant score broadcast on the live broadcast screen!


    Was the TV broadcaster broken by Millwall?


    Is it wrong?


    How to score one by one?


    6:0 before the first half!


    When the game at the Lion King Stadium ended in the first half, the visiting fans from afar left directly and took a flight home early to take a shower and sleep. It¡¯s terrible. I can¡¯t stand it anymore.


    When the players of Sparta Moscow walked into the player''s passage, many people looked numb, and they didn''t know what happened in the first half!


    Kaka and Ronaldo''s family watching the ball in the box were dumbfounded.


    Millwall is a complex team that allows you to admire beautiful and fascinating football, but also has the magic power to make you fall into a frenzy, full of passion, and the offensive is destroyed when it breaks out.


    In the second half Aldridge replaced Henry and Larson directly and sent Villa and Ramor.


    Moscow Spartan reached the second half, and no longer dared to act "indiscreetly", all the staff withdrew to defend.


    Millwall also slowed down his pace, and began to practice tough and three-axe control when he mastered the game.


    The forward players have been unable to move in the penalty area. They tore through the running to create free time for the midfield and backcourt players. Pirlo was also heavily marked, but Millwall had many long-range shots.


    In the 66th minute, Zambrotta showed his skills, slamming the door with a 45-degree angle outside the penalty area and penetrating the opponent''s goalkeeper.


    In the 79th minute, Schneider''s long shot hit the back of Villa, refracted, deceived the opponent''s goalkeeper, and scored the ball again.


    Until the end of the game, Ramall was brutally pushed down by the opponent''s defender in the penalty area. The referee was already unbearable, but the foul was too obvious. Ramall was directly pushed back from behind after stopping the ball. If the ball is not judged, it will definitely cause controversy, even if it is not important, but it is closely related to the level of law enforcement.


    In the end, a penalty was awarded, and Ronaldinho stood in front of the penalty spot and it was done overnight.


    After a penalty kick, the time was 12 seconds to 90 minutes, and the referee could not wait to sound the whistle at the end of the game.


    The Spartan players in Moscow didn''t take a break and took a breath. They quickly walked into the player''s tunnel like escape, leaving this nightmare.


    Millwall¡¯s players stayed on the field. They stood on their shoulders and took off their sweat-soaked jerseys on their shoulders. They looked at each other far away, with an unbelievable smile on their faces.


    9:0!


    Created a massacre enough to shock European football!


    Now, you can fully enter the rhythm of enjoyment.


    They walked together slowly, hand in hand to the sidelines to pay tribute to fans who were not willing to leave in the stands.


    The Lion King Stadium was clamoring, cheering, applauding, whistling...


    Whenever the players come to the side stand, the fans on the side stand collectively make a gesture of bowing down with their hands pressed down.


    The Kaka family came out of the VIP box and the Ronaldo family just met. The adults greeted each other politely. The 16-year-old Ronaldo and the 18-year-old Kaka stared at each other for a few seconds, and then called After greeting, they left.


    Aldridge entered the player channel after the game.


    At the post-match press conference, the reporters on the scene whispered about the incredible massacre.


    Aldridge''s excitement has calmed down a lot. When asked by a reporter to comment on the game, he smiled and shook his head: "I don''t think there is much to discuss. Millwall has the strength to beat the opponent. We It¡¯s just that the score looks exaggerated.¡±


    The reporters also did not dig at the tip of the horns, and nodded in unison as if they accepted Aldridge''s answer.


    There is really nothing to discuss.


    The situation of the game is clear at a glance.


    Millwall absolutely crushes opponents both in terms of player strength and technical and tactical advantages, and also has the advantage of playing at home.


    In a game like 9:0, it is difficult to recount every process of winning or losing the ball as an argument, because you let the game play again. Klose may not be able to give the ball to Henry and Zambrotta at the beginning. Long shots may not be able to score...


    Those overwhelming victory scores are often the winning side seizing the opportunities that should be seized, and at the same time some seemingly not very good opportunities have also turned into goals.


    Although some massacre games have not yet taken place, the situation is very similar to what Millwall played in this game.


    Inter Milan defeated Arsenal 1:5 at home, Manchester United slaughtered Rome at 7:1, Paris Saint-Germain 7:2, Rosenberg, Monaco 8:3, La Coru?a, Lyon 7:2 Bremen, Liverpool 8:0 Siktas and so on.


    In this kind of competition, it is of little significance to discuss the competition too much. It is impossible to duplicate the same score results once, twice, or ten times.


    Aldrich talks more about the situation in the Champions League.


    After winning the game, Millwall announced that they would directly advance to the top 16. Even if the same group of Lisbon Sport won, they could also directly advance, but Sporting Lisbon was tied by Hamburg, and the two teams of brothers and brothers will compete for the first place. Three, can move to the League Cup.


    As for Millwall''s 10 points and Moscow Sparta''s 12 points, who can advance to the group first, Audridge does not care, especially the group''s first initiative is not in Millwall''s hands.


    On the contrary, Aldridge even hopes that Millwall will advance to the second in the group, so that in the next stage of the grouping, he will be able to score in the same group as the other two groups. The quality of the game will make Millwall in the second half of the season. Cheng maintains a high level of competitive state.


    Millwall was the first hottest in this group, and won the group first, no one will doubt, but they now look very likely to be ranked second in the group!


    The strong teams of other groups are so angry that they want to scold mother!


    They were fighting for the group first, so they could avoid Millwall in the second stage grouping, because the probability is very high!


    But now, those who are desperate to ensure that the group''s first non- Premier League giants are dumbfounded.


    For example, AC Milan, A Coru?a, Valencia...

 Chapter 574： Treacherous cunning

    After finishing the fifth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Millwall set off for the Toyota Cup in Tokyo, Japan.


    On this trip, Millwall declined all business activities, and there was only one thing to go to Tokyo: playing games.


    Business development and competitive competition are clubs that complement each other and also produce contradictions. If the two cannot be coordinated well, it may result in neither increase in business nor competition.


    Millwall is still behind Manchester United in the league. Now it is not when he can spend his energy on the show. Aldridge is still clear-headed. The basis for the club to make money is competitive achievements. There is no guarantee of field performance. If you want to make money, it is impossible. .


    In Tokyo, the arrival of Millwall still caused a huge sensation. In addition to the positive impact of the club¡¯s development of the Far East market in recent years, the club¡¯s record in the stadium, Aldridge also contributed to the English national team.


    But this time Millwall did not give face, did not attend any commercial activities, even if the invitation letters piled up, and did not accept training interviews, it was completely closed training for the Toyota Cup.


    The opponent of this year''s Toyota Cup is the Boca Juniors from Argentina.


    The strength difference between European and South American teams is constantly expanding, because the number of South American exports of outstanding players to Europe is increasing year by year, Millwall masters are like a cloud, and the team is very mature, facing such a strange opponent, they have to do The result is to take advantage of your own strength and characteristics and take the initiative to control the game.


    Specific to the tactical arrangement of this game, Aldridge requires the team to make quick decisions and avoid excessive consumption. This requires players to work hard after the opening and strive for 60 minutes, or a shorter half. Time locks the game.


    At the Tokyo National Arena, Japanese fans at the scene felt a bit disappointed.


    Millwall did not send Ronaldinho, but replaced with Ramall, Ramall hit the midfield, Klose, Henry, Larson, Trident.


    In such a platoon formation, Aldridge was thoughtful.


    The most critical consideration is the characteristics of South American players and European players.


    Ascending to the progress of UEFA, South American players have made an unparalleled contribution.


    Their delicate and dexterous technology has an absolute impact on UEFA, making UEFA''s defensive players improve their skills over the same period.


    Some South American players mixed in Europe can show their might in front of European defenders. The opponents who play with their feet can''t find North, but they are placed in South American stadiums. Encountered are opponents with dazzling skills at their feet, and one-on-one defense is more flexible.


    However, European players also have their own advantages, that is, tactical discipline, integrity, teamwork and so on.


    Ronaldinho''s characteristic is to take points and face, establish an advantage from the local to tear the opponent''s defense line, the ability to combine other people''s **** is undoubted, but in today''s game of playing the South American team''s Liberation Cup champion, his power will actually be weakened. In layman''s terms, he can pass opponents by stepping on two bicycles in the Premier League, but in the La Liga, he may need to step on four bicycles and change his direction twice to pass the opponent.


    In addition, Ronaldinho played the entire Champions League before coming to Tokyo and gave him a break.


    In this game, Aldrich''s targeted deployment was to limit a Boka youth player in the midfield.


    The only surviving classical front waist master in the future: Riquelme!


    As for Palermo, the lunatic on the Boca youth front, Aldridge didn''t care. The midfielder got the world, and the awesome striker, after all, relied on a powerful midfielder to transport shells.


    The most impressive thing about Boca Juniors of this period is that in the original history of the Toyota Cup, they defeated Real Madrid. Riquelme had a masterful performance and made Maclele all embarrassed. Endlessly.


    Of course, this does not rule out the problem of Real Madrid¡¯s own tactics of attacking and defending lightly. There are a lot of piano players in the front field, but few people carry the piano.


    Aldridge stood on the sidelines and lost his hand. The man who played with him today is the master Bianchi. The opponent also stood in front of the coach and observed the game seriously.


    Soon, he frowned.


    Ten minutes after the opening of the core of the organization, Riquelme, there were only 2 touches in the frontcourt!


    Millwall''s targeted restrictions on Riquelme were clear at a glance. Lamore and Pirlo both sandwiched Riquelme before and after, and Riquelme was twice brave after being touched by the ball. The ground steals and hits the ground, another time he easily broke through Pirlo, but Gattuso immediately followed the destruction.


    Millwall is prepared!


    After 10 minutes, Millwall''s team completely entered the game and began to pull the rhythm of the game to play their special skills.


    Physical fitness and team advantage are becoming more and more obvious.


    Aldridge raised his chin slightly, and South America was gradually distanced from Europe. There is another important factor: physical fitness.


    Many players who are born in South America are always accused of being unsatisfactory when they come to Europe. This has nothing to do with confrontation. It is the most intuitive. In the faster and faster pace of the game, the physical fitness of South American players follows the game. And the decline is very fast. The endless football news is to accuse a South American player of walking on the court. Sometimes, this is not a disciplinary problem of the player itself, but the physical decline is fast. It is really impossible to run when it is time to run.


    Physical fitness does not only cause problems as the game time progresses.


    Today, Millwall, the master of the king named "the strongest in Europe", is in the Toyota Cup, which has brought down Boca Juniors.


    In the non-stop continuous running, Millwall''s rhythm did not drop, and the Boka youth followed this rhythm. For 3 minutes and 5 minutes, there was no chance to breathe, and then, he couldn''t keep up!


    Today, Millwall is a team that pays close attention to the ball. The rhythm is maintained at a fast rate, and then the opponent is forced to follow the rhythm in the game.


    In the 27th minute, Millwall launched an offensive, and Zambrotta set aside to take a cross from Pirlo. After Zambrotta Ramor Klose, Klose wanted to go straight to Henry, but the opposing defender Take the first step back to prevent successful interception.


    Henry immediately rushed to the defender with the ball under his feet. At the same time, Larson, Klose and Ramor also blocked the front of him through the running position, and the ball path on the left and right sides, so he could only make a big foot.


    Southgate rushed forward and headed the ball to the front of Pirlo. Pirlo then knocked the ball to Schneider from the right side. Schneider passed directly to Larsson on the edge. Larsson then Passing the forward Lamor, the latter kept the ball in the left rib of the penalty area. Klose failed to get the ball and was intercepted by the opposing defender.


    Millwall once again used the same defensive tactics as before, forcing the opponent to make a big foot clearance, not even returning the goalkeeper.


    This time the goal of the ball was controlled by Gattuso. He passed the ball to Zambrotta. Zambrotta observed it and passed the ball to Klose who retreated. The latter knocked back and pulled Moore, Ramall gently crossed the front right, and Pirlo, who inserted the ball, stopped the ball and made a pick.


    In the penalty area, Larson and Henry crossed the position to confuse the opposing defender. Pirlo''s pick pass seemed to be for Henry, but Henry gave Larson a cover after attracting the attention of the defensive player. Lar Sen diagonally inserted the middle of the penalty area and walked forward to the left in the direction of the ball rolling, and then passed the ball back to the other side when the goalkeeper attacked. Running a roundabout Henry was unmarked and easily pushed the ball into the empty goal. .


    Millwall scored this attack. From the offensive segment, the three-wave attack of the same rhythm did not give the opponent time to breathe and adjust. The first two offensive routines were point-to-point, and the last fatal blow was Pirlo. The forwards provided changes, and he was also credited with cleverly picking the pass to match the two forwards'' running positions. The Boca Juniors still failed to withstand under heavy pressure, declaring the city gate lost.


    Bianchi saw a team losing the ball on the sidelines and suddenly felt a powerless feeling.


    Milvolyan avoided shortcomings and played a kick today, using teamwork to break the Boka youth defense line, excellent off-ball running response consciousness, plus the player''s physical strength, this is their strength, and they have deliberately avoided One-on-one with Boca Youth.


    One-on-one. Compared with South American players, European players are obviously not dominant. Especially in the case of offense and defense, the former itself is not a special skill, and the latter encounters opponents in domestic leagues and intercontinental games. Technology is good, this kind of pure frontal defense, they are not only accustomed, but also tempered stronger technology, but the defense not only depends on technology, key pre-judgment and supplementary defense awareness, teamwork, in this regard, they and the top European There is still a big gap between defensive players.


    Millwall broke the deadlock and scored a goal.


    Aldrich gestured to the players on the sidelines.


    Tactics, change.


    After the Boca Juniors kicked off the ball again, they found that Millwall did not force them to rob them, the defense line retreated, and the positions of Klose and Henry also changed.


    What is this for?


    Shameless defense counterattack!


    Bianchi, with the Governor-General''s horn, turned his head and looked at Aldridge with his hands in pockets.


    Europeans always tire of saying that South Americans are treacherous and cunning.


    But in front of him, the record of the UEFA football team is enough to be an ancient and mad lion, he has used treacherous and cunning perfectly in the game tactics!


    Aldridge inadvertently felt Bianchi''s gaze. He didn''t look at the other party, slightly bowed his head, his mouth raised, and the arc was not obvious.


    Boca¡¯s youth fell behind, and he must increase his offensive force. Millwall is not afraid of the opponent¡¯s attack. Because of Riquelme¡¯s position, Millwall can play a defensive counterattack, but he can still impose more on Riquelme. Big defensive pressure.


    After 8 minutes, Millwall slammed into a whirlwind and widened the score.


    Klose took a long pass from Schneider in the middle circle and knocked to Henry on the left without turning. Henry took the ball and drove on the left. Klose, Ramall in the middle and the right Larson started quickly.


    However, during the halftime attack, Klose was obviously staring closely. He consciously took the defensive player. Henry did not do very well before coming to the penalty area. He crossed the middle to the completely unmarked Ramall, the latter After the ball was stopped, it went straight to the right. Larsson counter-offside successfully received the ball in the penalty area. He didn''t stop the ball. He directly passed the other side of the goal. Henry hit it and pushed the ball easily.


    The two shooters finished each other with one pass.


    In fact, Millwall''s offense is more powerful when playing a defensive counterattack.


    But there is a premise that opponents must attack and give them counterattacks, like Henry and Larson, who can catch up with their defensive players, which is really a handful.


    So Aldridge switched tactics when the score was leading, the Boca youth had to attack, and now, instead of losing the second goal.


    Aldridge looked at the time and turned to the coach seat. He said to Ronaldo and Villa, who were placed on the bench today: "You don''t have to enter the locker room during halftime to warm up outside."


    When Ronaldo heard this, he immediately ran out and was grabbed by Villa. He smiled bitterly at him: "The boss said he would warm up at halftime, not now."

 Chapter 575： Flying little Ronaldo

    During the halftime, Aldridge emphasized the tactics in the second half, still focusing on anti-anti, focusing on restricting the opponent''s organization core Riquelme.


    Ronaldo and Villa were actively doing warm-up exercises on the sidelines during the halftime break. Ronaldo''s warm-up felt more serious than ever. He knew that his family was in the stands and his brother secretly texted on his mobile phone before the game. Tell him.


    This surprised him, his family also came to Tokyo?


    It was revealed by his brother that it was Aldridge¡¯s arrangement, and the family came to Japan to play for two days.


    Cristiano Ronaldo anticipates that something might happen today, but it''s not necessarily. He was placed on the bench, and Aldridge will fulfill his promise to let him play, full of variables.


    If the team lags behind or fails to open the deadlock, Millwall will not bet on him even if he makes a change. It is self-knowledge that Ronaldo still has it.


    Millwall¡¯s tradition of cultivating young players has always been to not put pressure on young players to play, so that they don¡¯t carry too much burden when they play. For example, Alonso often played this season when the team locked the victory. There is also room for mistakes, but most opponents are beaten up, so it is rare for a teenager to make a big mistake on the field.


    When the second half was about to begin, the players from both sides returned to the field. When Aldridge walked back to the coach''s stand, Ronaldo was like a soldier waiting for the general to give operational instructions to Aldridge standing straight.


    Aldridge hadn''t found it at first, but he turned his head inadvertently and found Ronaldo seriously standing behind his side, startling him.


    "What are you doing?"


    "Boss, don''t you want to change me up?"


    "When did I say you changed the game?"


    "Then let me warm up?"


    "It''s not time to continue warming up."


    Ronaldo pulled his head and twisted his head, trotting and warming up again. Villa was still pressing his legs in the distance. When he saw this scene, he smiled and laughed.


    In the second half, the Boca youths strengthened their offense, but the effect was not obvious, especially because they seemed to have scruples and feared to be counterattacked by Millwall. Therefore, when playing the offense, they sometimes seemed hesitant and the momentum of the midfield pressure was obvious, but they dare not dare Dangerous areas with deeper pressure.


    After playing for ten minutes, Millwall was ready to make a substitution.


    Aldrich put his arms around Ronaldo and Villa on the left and right, first explained the position and task after playing with Villa, and then turned his head and asked Ronaldo: "Do you know what to pay attention to?"


    Ronaldo immediately nodded and said: "Don''t make too much defensive action, avoid being directly hit by the opponent, attack more positions, seek the ball after the free time, and try not to give the opponent a chance to get close."


    Aldridge nodded, hoping that the kid could do it on the court.


    Even though the English Premier League has some fierce men like Xiaofa who will be on the battlefield at the age of 16, but the specific problems should be analyzed concretely. It cannot be blindly assumed that all 16-year-old players can play the Premier League, even if the stars are different.


    In the position of Xiao Fa itself, the speed impact is definitely not as good as that of the forward. The speed of the striker rushing and rushing with the midfield is obviously not in the same grade. The defensive strength and the confrontation strength generated by the collision are also very different.


    So let Ronaldo play the game and try to avoid physical confrontation as the first requirement. When defending, he has the initiative. As long as it is not his own defensive movements, he generally has a sense of protection and will not be injured. When attacking, he becomes passive. Therefore, it is the best strategy to reduce being close, find more time, and play faster.


    In the final analysis, it is still to protect the players, not only want him to feel the atmosphere of the field prematurely, to withstand the baptism of actual combat, but also do not want to see him tortured by injuries.


    When the fourth official played a substitution card, there was a warm applause, and Japanese fans stood up to applaud the two Millwall fans who were replaced.


    Henry, Larson, two heroes who scored goals and assists were replaced.


    Then, some Japanese fans were depressed.


    The replaced Villa, and the replaced Ronaldo, look young and immature. Even if the fans of Millwall''s game are not watching, even if they know a little bit about who Villa is, but C Luo, obviously very strange.


    Soon, some fans were talking in the stands.


    Ronaldo made some fans recall memories from two years ago.


    Also in this venue, the time has to go back a few hours on the day. When Ronald Millwall temporarily formed the youth team, in the game against the Japanese national team, Ronaldo was undoubtedly a dazzling figure, although the youth team was temporarily The team leader Richards jumped angrily, but Ronaldo''s fancy skills still impressed the Japanese fans on the court. The most important reason is that in that game, the Japanese national team was beaten to no avail, and it was completely cruel. .


    "We just checked the information and confirmed the fact. Just now, at the moment of Millwall''s substitution, the history of the Millwall club has set a new player record. Cristiano Ronaldo, who has just appeared, has become the representative of Mill. The youngest player in Wall''s official game, maybe he should be around 17 years old, but in fact, he is only 15 years old and 296 days old. This is also his personal life will be remembered for life, such as the Toyota Cup The stage debuted his career. Millwall is famous for the youth team in the world football. Every season, they will have excellent young players from the youth team to the first team. Coach Hall¡¯s ability to explore young players is unique, so We have reason to believe that Cristiano Ronaldo is a player worthy of our mind and attention, and see if he can break out of his world in football in the future."


    Ronaldo''s parents and siblings were already excited in the stands.


    This day, finally waited!


    This is just the beginning, just the beginning, far away from his fame and fame.


    Looking forward to the debut, Ronaldo did not touch the ball once in 10 minutes after playing!


    He ran back and forth in the position of the left winger, beckoning the pass to his teammates every time, but no matter whether he was in the backcourt of Pirlo, or in the frontcourt of Lamor, Klose, he did not put the ball Pass it to him.


    This made Ronaldo''s breath soar.


    At the end of an attack, Villa inserted the penalty area on the other side and hit the ball. Ronaldo trot to Ramor and asked excitedly: "Why not pass me the ball?"


    While trotting back to defend, Ramor said loudly: "You didn''t run out of time, at least three meters away from you, I will pass the ball to you without defensive players. This is not my idea, it''s the boss, you want Complain, find him!"


    During the fierce competition, Ramall had no time to pull Ronaldo.


    Although Cristiano Rodriguez heard Audridge say a lot before playing, he still played according to his way of playing on the youth team. He was on the youth team and wanted to get the ball. After getting the ball, he was not afraid of the opponent coming close. When he did this, it wasn''t that he didn''t run out of position, but he felt that he could almost completely get the ball and started waving.


    The Boka youth''s full-back is really afraid of letting Ronaldo take the ball. In case this kid poses a threat on his own side, where does his face go?


    So at the beginning, he watched Ronaldo diligently, but found a strange phenomenon.


    This kid is estimated to have a bad relationship with Millwall, and his teammates will not pass him!


    Deserve it!


    Bianchi seems to have discovered this too. After Ronaldo''s hairy boy came on the court, Millwall left almost no threat.


    2:0, did this famous European young master get too arrogant?


    Thought that a two-legged creature could win the game steadily?


    Bianchi looked at the time, it was almost 70 minutes, let it go!


    Right back, rush up to assist!


    This attack, Boca Juniors really pulled a ball back.


    In the 76th minute, it was the right-back who assisted and passed the ball to create chaos in the penalty area. The madman Palermo grabbed a point with his physical advantage, but under the harassment of Materazzi, he did not form an attack, or even did it. There was a defender''s action to make the clearance. The forehead did not hit the ball. Instead, the back of the head unloaded the ball and the ball landed in the penalty area. Another Boca player happened to hit the goal directly at that point. The distance was too far. Recently, Bout was too late to make a save.


    The Boca youth who recovered a goal did not hesitate to continue to choose the same routine attack.


    Just let them blind cats catch the dead mouse just now, Millwall could not fall twice in a pit.


    Boca Juniors'' defense on the right became bigger, and Ronaldo calmed down after a short period of focus.


    In the 84th minute, Millwall counterattacked in the backcourt, and Pirlo passed the ball directly to the right.


    Ronaldo really wanted to rush to find Pirlo real PK.


    Seeing you play football at ordinary times, finding the ball when you are out of the ball is simply fascinating!


    It''s my turn in front, and I obviously ran out of space. Why didn''t you give it to me?


    why?


    Of course, Pirlo saw Ronaldo''s space, but he still firmly pushed the ball to Villa''s side.


    The reason is very simple, the ball has time to fly in the air, especially for the long pass. Once the ball is sent directly to Ronaldo, the Boca youth is forced to prepare for his time. Ronaldo is not Henry or Ronaldinho, even if it is replaced by Ronaldinho. Grenchar, Pirlo will pass the ball firmly, but at the age of 15 Ronaldo, Aldridge midfielder really mentioned in the locker room that he tried to avoid C Ronaldo from getting caught in the game. In a situation of looting.


    Pirlo was completely thinking for Ronaldo, and from the tactical height, he first took the ball to the right, and further created C Ronaldo''s empty space on the left, allowing Villa to attract defense there.


    The script is in Pirlo''s mind. As Millwall''s commander, his football wisdom only shows the first shot of the ball, but it is just a glimpse of the leopard.


    The first option for Villa to touch the ball was to knock Klose in the middle. Klose wanted to give C Ronaldo, but the body was facing the front right, and the defensive player in front of him leaned slightly to the left to prevent him from passing over. , So he can only go straight in front of Sevilla, the two played a 2 over 1, this pass is a little big, but it is conducive to Villa to play a speed advantage, directly break through the defender''s defensive line to the bottom line.


    Before the bottom line, Villa observed while running, Klose pressed the defensive player in the middle, and Villa rubbed the ball to the far side of the penalty area before the bottom line. In order to complete this pass, he passed the pass Just fell out of the bottom line.


    The ball crossed the middle of the goal and no one could reach it. Cristiano Ronaldo rushed away from a distance.


    Shoot in, shoot in!


    Ronaldo kept telling himself inwardly, but the ball didn''t fall fast, which gave him time to calmly adjust after he ran to the position.


    He gave up the idea of ??a volley volley, stopped the ball with his chest, and then looked at the goal. The opponent''s defender slid over to block his shooting angle. Cristiano Ronaldo spun the ball away from the opponent, and then volleyed!


    The goalkeeper didn''t respond. The kid shot a ball that was much stronger than expected, and entered the upper right corner of the goal in a blink of an eye.


    Ronaldo, who completed the goal, instantly ran like a beast to the side of the court, patting his chest while looking at the stands.


    Dad, mom, did you see it?


    see it?


    On the sidelines, Aldridge pulled out his hands in his pockets, applauded with a smile, his mouth moved, and said a word silently.


    Boy, run, fly, don''t stop!

 Chapter 576： Golden Globe

    With little time left in the game, Boca Juniors were hit hard again, Bianchi was reluctant to surrender on the sidelines, and he swept his troops. Millwall retreated because of the pressure, and he had two opportunities to fight back in the last five minutes. But he didn''t grasp it, especially when Villa''s hanging door after the goalkeeper attacked, actually hit the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line, making him hold his head in both hands.


    At the end of the game, Millwall''s coaching staff and the players on the bench all stood up and were not as excited as the other championships. Aldridge went to shake hands with Bianchi after the game.


    The two did not communicate and separated after shaking hands.


    Fans on the scene cheered Millwall, once in 1998, two years later, Millwall came here again and won the Toyota Cup.


    In fact, the shape of the trophy of the Toyota Cup is very strange. It can''t be seen as the shape of a cup at all. It is more like a designed artwork.


    After winning the championship, the players began to take photos together. Henry took the best in the game and could drive a Toyota.


    Cristiano Ronaldo has also become the focus of the reporters on the sidelines. He has become the youngest founder of the Millwall club''s appearance record at a young age. His predecessor record is the core of the organization that is now indispensable in Millwall. , And he still scored today, fortunately, it is also the final, the opponent is not an unknown, that is the division of the South American Club Intercontinental Championship.


    Ronaldo seemed to enjoy the spotlight. He walked on the sidelines while holding the Toyota Cup trophy. He came to the sidelines. His family, accompanied by Millwall staff, had come to the sidelines. With the permission of the stadium staff, C Luo and his family entered the stadium for a group photo.


    After waiting for the photo, his siblings left him and turned to the Millwall star to ask for a photo and a signed jersey.


    "Boss, take a picture with me."


    Aldridge is talking to Boas about the game that has just ended. In his free time, Boas is the person who loves to discuss the game with him.


    Aldrich turned his head and found that Ronaldo was still "occupying" the trophy. He smiled and said, "Come and stand in the middle."


    Ronaldo walked to the middle station between him and Boas. After the camera was over, Ronaldo handed the trophy to Villa. Aldridge also pulled Villa over and took another picture.


    "If I remember correctly, will it be your 19th birthday in a few days?"


    Hearing Aldridge''s question, Villa nodded and said, "Well, yes."


    Aldridge chuckled lightly: "Go back, please come to dinner at home, I will cook in person."


    Villa smiled heartily when he heard that, since he was an adult, he really seldom went to the boss¡¯s house for dinner again. He was probably older. With his own space and expanded life circle, he and Aldrich¡¯s The distance also gets farther, but the same thing is mutual trust.


    The Toyota Cup won the championship. Aldrich has nothing to say about this kind of event that has neither a foreshadowing nor a continuation. He praises the team and is happy to return home.


    Millwall once again took home the Toyota Cup. The response on Fleet Street was relatively flat, just writing the battle report as usual.


    It''s nothing strange.


    The strongest in Europe vs the strongest in South America.


    The strongest in South America is every year, but the strongest undefeated in 64 European leagues, but it may not be able to produce one in ten years.


    During the Toyota Cup, the Premier League weekend just caught up with the cup match, so the league was suspended and Millwall returned to London to rest for a few days. Before the 17th round of the Premier League started on the weekend, they got good news.


    Manchester United''s visit to London resulted in a 3:3 draw by Charlton at the Valley Stadium.


    Millwall sat at the Lion King Stadium and made the most of his efforts against the visiting Aston Villa. A hearty 5:2 victory expanded the undefeated games to 65 games. At the same time, the score gap with Manchester United was narrowed to 1 Points, as in the game it is rare to lose two goals in the weak, Aldridge seems to careless after the game, his main midfielder and main guard suspended.


    FIFA announced during this period that Mr. World Football Award winner, Zidane was elected, Henry ranked second and Figo third.


    And this year''s Golden Globe Awards will also be announced. Millwall''s momentum in the second half of the year is not obvious, because they are their biggest focus. 65 league games are unbeaten. The glory of the Triple Crown last season, should we still deliberately tout it?


    Fleet Street predicts that Millwall is likely to achieve the club¡¯s defending Golden Ball award this year. Of course, the probability of Nedved¡¯s own defending is very low. He has been wounded since the beginning of the new season. When the eyeball offensive is most needed, he disappears. Public view.


    However, there are still many strong players in the Golden Wall.


    The biggest favorites are Henry, the Triple Crown, the UEFA Champions League and the league''s double material Golden Boots, plus the summer with the French team to win the European Cup, who would be questioned if he was elected Mr. Golden Ball?


    Larson, Ronaldinho, and Pirlo are all popular candidates.


    In the eyes of mainstream European football, there are always some people who know the goods, especially professional ball critics. Pirlo has been nominated for the Golden Globe Award for two consecutive years, helping Millwall to create the Triple Crown Weiye as an absolute main force. His importance and contribution to the team are seen by many professionals. Many people study Millwall, and the key to analyzing players is Pirlo.


    Ten years after the original history, UEFA published an official evaluation listing 20 people who changed the world¡¯s football, including 19 players or coaches and a referee.


    This list has a European vision, only two South American players were selected, like Bailey missed.


    Aldrich has always been asked about personal coaching tactics and thoughts to avoid this problem when he contributes to modern football. The big reason is that he actually just sums up and integrates the experience left by his predecessors and his understanding of football with the knowledge of later generations. Advantages only.


    For example, Hidaiguti in this list, as a teammate of the Puskas generation gold team, his tactical role is far beyond Puskas, the change of the center''s retreat has set off a storm in Hungary that sweeps the world. Looking back further, we must mention that Mabukovi, the club manager of Hidaiguti, everyone said that England is the originator of 442. In fact, the first to design theory and practice is Mabukovi. In the era of advocating offensive accumulation of forwards, his defense was mocked, but placed today, it is the core of Aldridge''s tactical design and the key point of winning: hiding the offensive point.


    Most of the players in this list are those who have improved the ability of role players in the same position. Simply put, they are the pinnacle of the players in the same position. For example, Martini, who can make the defender also elegant, Ke Ruif, Di Stefano, Matthews, a winger like art, and so on.


    But there are also some superstars that combine influence and contribution beyond football. For example, Zidane, a descendant of Algeria, has brought about the positive influence of national integration in France. The angel and the devil, once made football ugly because of him, forcing UEFA , FIFA have to modify the defensive rules to increase the standard of Maradona fouling the defender, it is because the normal defense Maradona can not resist, so football is ugly, the opponent he faces has to use frequently Foul, beyond the scale foul, in addition to fouls, it is impossible to limit his play.


    In this list, only a handful of players have contributed to the epoch-making change of position and function on the field. Beckenbauer, the originator of the free man, is the most influential full-back to assist Facheti.


    More than a decade later, fans talked about German goalkeeper Neuer incarnate as a "door waist", but if you look at the history of world football, in this goalkeeper position, some people are more crazy than Neuer and have become the object of many goalkeepers to imitate: ¡¤Denkovic, as a goalkeeper, he once dribbled from the backcourt and broke through the three defenders of the opponent. He was knocked down by his opponent. The foul place was 10 meters past the center line. The thing happened in Germany. He was Are you crazy? Maybe, in short, he was selected by UEFA to change the list of 20 players in the world football, redefining the goalkeeper standard.


    There is another person who redefines the standard of position role. This person is from Italy and named Pirlo, also in this list.


    Pirlo can be selected, and it has little to do with his own technical ability. If he is a front midfielder, there are many players who are better than his ball skills. However, he is a front waist type player who plays the back midfielder. The ability to function has changed dramatically in tactics.


    Pay attention to their duties on the football field.


    The striker doesn''t score, what''s the point?


    If the defender does not defend, is he still called a defender?


    In the past concept, the striker scored a goal, the forward waist organization behind the striker, conveyed the shells, so that the threat looks more intuitive, the distance is close, the connection is close, and the success rate should be higher in theory, just like the theory of long pass The basics are the same, hitting the ball directly to the area closest to the goal is the most threatening.


    But the reality is that the offense is concentrated at the forefront, and the center of gravity of the opponent''s defense is also concentrated there, but instead compresses the area.


    Pirlo''s role is not related to whether he has been transformed into a lower back through the front waist, but that he is a front waist player, but he is organized in the back waist area, and there has been: a step back, the sea and the sky, such a new situation.


    Some people will say that Keane, Vieira, both offensive and defensive, Albertini, Redondo, and the four talents of the last era seem to be able to do such work.


    But there are differences in essence.


    Even if his career is counted in 500 games, how many games do these midfielders play on the field by organizing offense?


    It¡¯s not because Redondo has such a few terrifying rumors that he can be organized in the lower back. Keane and Vieira are easier to distinguish. Defensive is the top priority of their work. However, what makes them stand out from other midfielders is that they can perform defensive tasks well, and then devote their energy to help the team attack, whether it is Manchester United or Arsenal. , Or dominated by wing players.


    But in Millwall, Pirlo''s more than four seasons of appearances, he is dedicated to purely organized work, defense, is a secondary task!


    This subverts the role that the player should play in the midfielder position. At the same time, when instigating the offense, he uses the pass to drive the overall forward attack.


    In the development of modern football after the original history, the organization of the area retreat to ensure the success rate of the team''s pass. Almost every giant has such a character, and it is Pirlo who pioneered.


    In the first two seasons, Pirlo''s appearance puzzled UEFA, so he began to observe him, study Millwall''s game, find out the specific role of Pirlo on the field, every pass he passed, brought Changes in the sense of rhythm, changes in the threat value measured by the short pass and long pass to drive the offense, etc.


    When Pirlo helped Millwall win countless championships as an absolute mainstay, no one would doubt him again, people realized: he created a new position role template under Audridge.


    As a result, some ball critics have called for Pirlo to be awarded the Golden Globe Award. Although his goals and assists are far inferior to the Millwall forward trident, his contribution may be among the Millwall team. Highest.


    reason?


    Millwall has no shortage of strikers, but can someone replace Pirlo?

 Chapter 577： This day has finally arrived

    The Golden Ball Award Ceremony crashed into the car in the eighteenth round of the Premier League.


    "French Football" sent an invitation letter, Ronaldinho, Larson, Henry, Pirlo, Nedved are on the invited list, inviting them to attend the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.


    The Premier League Christmas Express is coming, and the day of the FA Cup joining the team is approaching. Millwall has just finished the first stage of the UEFA Champions League group stage. All the substitutes went to Germany. Hamburg fought for honor and played with Millwall 1 at home. : 1 draw.


    After returning to London, Aldridge let these invited players to participate in the Golden Globes ceremony, which can be regarded as some sweetness in advance. Take a break. In the 18th round of the Premier League, Millwall will be a guest at Goodison Park Stadium and challenge Toffee Everton, and then, the main event is to go to Old Trafford on Christmas Eve and compete with the Red Devils Manchester United.


    Aldridge doesn¡¯t want to see the players being upset at this time, the Golden Globe Award, the personal honor of the extremely glorious, and not letting them go to the scene, what if the prize is won? Aldridge didn''t have the ability of the unknown prophet. He had some, but he has become the head coach. Now, everything is full of variables.


    Just let them go, and then come back to play Manchester United well. It''s really a prize, that''s better, the momentum is soaring!


    Before the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, the draw of the UEFA Champions League second stage group stage also came out.


    Millwall had a good sign, and AC Milan, Paris Saint-Germain and Anderlecht were drawn in the same group.


    After the draw result came out, the most crying cry was the Belgian giant Anderlecht.


    If they are drawn to this group as the second group, that''s all.


    But they are the first in the group!


    In the first stage, fighting hard with Manchester United, PSV Eindhoven, Dynamo Kiev killed the dark ground, crushed Dynamo Kiev to the bottom of the group, and kicked PSV Eindhoven to the UEFA Cup, pressing the Red Devils Manchester United to get What is the name of the group?


    The qualifying is the first place, but when grouping in the second stage, it is best to meet the two weaker groups second!


    Fuck!


    Looking at the second in each group, Millwall is the strongest, they won, and won!


    Paris Saint-Germain was also depressed. After a draw, they could overwhelm Bayern in the group to get the first place in the group. This is good. The group is second, the second with the strongest group, and the traditional giant AC Milan...


    AC Milan was also depressed. Millwall''s name was too dazzling. He was killed by Millwall in the first stage of the group stage last season. Eventually, even the top 16 failed to advance. This year, he won the group in the death group. First, they met Millwall again in the round of 16 to kill the star.


    Does this make people alive?


    Just finished with Leeds United, Barcelona, ??Bixidas, and immediately entered the death group, the UEFA of the grass mud horse, who won the draw? When you come to San Siro, I promise not to kill you!


    It was CEO Adam who went to the draw on behalf of Millwall, who said in an interview that he had a good draw.


    Aldrich commented on the draw in private, but he didn''t know who said it with a big mouth, making it the headline of Fleet Street non-match day.


    "Millwall, Bayern Munich, AC Milan, Lyon, this is Hall''s most anticipated result of the group draw."


    In fact, Aldrich¡¯s original words are: if Andrlecht is replaced by A Coru?a or Valencia, or Bayern Munich and Lyon replace Paris Saint-Germain and Anderlecht, that¡¯s fine.


    Anderlecht is willing to change positions with these teams, but people do not change. Why, the team drawn by Bayern is simply a strength, in exchange for Millwall to find excitement?


    Crazy Lions fans are very good buy, think their coach''s vision is very beautiful, of course they hope to watch a few strong dialogue in the Champions League.


    Like these two seasons of restructuring, even the UEFA Champions League game, the attendance rate on the court has a downward trend. Millwall''s game against Hamburg, Sporting Lisbon, and Sparta Moscow is really uninteresting.


    The Champions League round of 16 was released, and Fleet Street was excited.


    Why?


    In the round of 16, the Premier League team has the most.


    Manchester United, Arsenal, Leeds United, Millwall, all reached the top 16!


    La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1 and two teams each, the Bundesliga is a single seedling Bayern Munich.


    The trend of Serie A''s decline has become more obvious. Inter Milan fell into the qualifiers. Juventus collapsed in the group stage, leaving AC Milan and Lazio.


    But now it is hard to say how strong the overall Premier League strength is in Europe. Fleet Street will not find itself. Millwall is strong, but Millwall''s strength has clearly distanced himself from other Premier League teams last season. Millwall represents the Premier League, but it does not represent the overall strength of the Premier League. The key is to see the achievements of all the teams representing the Premier League. The top 16, the Premier League has four teams, wait until the top 8. Look, the top 8 and the top 4 are the stages to measure the top level.


    In the sunny winter afternoon, the 18th round of the Premier League started, and Millwall was a guest to challenge Everton.


    Millwall, who is mostly not in the main force, sent a bench to play, and Everton in the downstream of the standings played a 451 midfield crazy to force a strong attack on Millwall.


    At the end of the game, there was a huge cheer from Goodison Park Stadium.


    The numbers on the scoreboard are:


    2:1!


    Everton will be home to Millwall, who has created an unbeaten record in 65 league games!


    Milwall, who played an away Champions League game in midweek, has clearly dropped his performance today, coupled with his eagerness to prove himself, he wants to help the team get three points to overtake Manchester United, and the offense played very well in the game. not ideal.


    Lampard + Pedretti''s midfielder combination was defeated by the opponent''s 5 midfielder. The tacit agreement between the midfielder and the striker was obviously lacking. After the disconnection, the offense played badly and the defense was the backcourt. When the player provides support, the opponent uses the free time to penetrate.


    Aldrich shook hands with the opponent''s coach and walked into the player''s tunnel. He attended the press conference with a smile and came to the scene with a smile.


    The reporters stared at Aldridge intently, and saw him sit down and smiled into the microphone: "Oh, this day is finally here, do you have anything to ask?"


    this day?


    The reporters suddenly realized.


    This young commander is quite open-minded.


    Yeah, there are no teams in the world who won''t lose.


    What is the limit of Millwall?


    In the previous 65 undefeated games, people have countless times predicted who Millwall will be planted under, but they failed to do so, they broke the limit again and again.


    Now, record freeze.


    David Miller of The Times suddenly applauded.


    Other reporters followed suit, giving applause to the young commander and Millwall.


    At other times, Millwall won and their applause seemed worthless.


    But the applause at this time was not only applauding for the finalization of a great record, but also applauding Aldridge''s unexpected courage.


    David Miller even imagined, at this moment, what kind of expression would Aldridge make?


    anger? Unwilling? Do not admit defeat? Cry for revenge next time?


    No, Aldridge smiled instead.


    The commander''s words were also very clear.


    "This day has finally arrived."


    He has never been stunned by reason without success.


    Odric was accustomed to the usual applause, but today, it made him a little embarrassed. He raised his hand to stop them and laughed: "Millwall lost the ball, don''t be like this, let''s enter the theme."


    David Miller made the first question.


    "Did you think that the team will declare the end of the undefeated record by losing to Everton, a team that ranks downstream in the Premier League?"


    Aldrich shook his head and said, "No, we were in the last stage of last season, the last season last season, the first half of this season until today, have not lost a game in the league, no, but I know the ball The team cannot fail to lose all the time. In fact, many times, the team has reached a critical point and almost lost. For example, after winning the championship early last season, such as a few draws at the beginning of the season, undefeated record, It will be like a mountain on the shoulders of the players, and even I feel extra pressure. I think that when this record becomes bound to us and affects us, we should get rid of the burden. This does not mean that I will be happy I saw the team lose, but as you can see, today we met the stubborn Everton, who needs points. At their home, Millwall is missing a lot of main players. Some of the players on the field just a few days ago. Having played in the Champions League, today we lost, Everton fight back a victory, they should be praised, not us, we gained experience, relieved the pressure, so that those young players will not be affected by other things in their hearts Affected, this is the positive impact of this defeat."


    A reporter immediately asked: "Do you regret allowing a large number of main force to go to the Golden Globe Awards ceremony? If they can play, Millwall may continue the undefeated record."


    Aldridge still shook his head and said: "No regrets. If you are a reporter friend who knows me, you won''t ask this question. Anyone who is familiar with my coaching style knows that I focus on the team''s planning throughout the season. The Premier League is about to usher in Christmas. Express, and we will play Manchester United in the next game, let these main players spend a weekend easily and happily, help them play for the team in the next time, I don¡¯t think I need to reiterate, I have never tried to continue Losing the record and forcing a change in the team¡¯s usual working style, this season did not, nor did it last season. On the contrary, it is precisely because we pay attention to the long-term construction and planning of such a reasonable and scientific team that is one of the guarantees of Millwall¡¯s record. "


    Many reporters nodded, and there was no need to argue with Aldridge. The facts were there. Millwall¡¯s work was done step by step. When he was training a newcomer, he trained a newcomer.


    The undefeated record is good, it can be used to show off, it can be proud of the fans, and it is also a topic that is talked about in the football circle from now on, but if the undefeated record becomes a burden, a kind of When the team will develop an unfavorable cancer in the future, it should decisively eliminate the negative effects.


    Millwall hardened all the main field games for 90 minutes, just to continue the undefeated record, the main force did not get a rest, the newcomers did not get exercise, not to say whether it would make the team internally chaotic, just do it, really Is it good for the club''s season plan?


    This record has reached the terrible 65 games, can not ask for more.


    The Premier League is not a second-rate league, not a place where it can set hundreds of undefeated records.


    Millwall ended this record with a non-collapsing scene or a situation where the team fell into a decline. It is acceptable and will not cause any sequelae.


    Those Millwall main players who went to participate in the Golden Globe Awards probably did not expect that when they return to the club, a great record of the team can be completely recorded in history.


    At the Golden Ball Awards ceremony that night, the ambitious Millwall players collectively encountered unprecedented embarrassment and blows.

 Chapter 578： Golden Globe Historic Day

    Of the 50 nominees for this year¡¯s Golden Globe Awards, eight players currently play for Millwall. If you count the Makelele who left last summer, 9 of Millwall¡¯s main lineup last season entered the Golden Globe Candidate. List of people.


    But according to the usual practice, at least nearly half of the 50 people are 0 votes 0 points, placed in the Millwall team, Schneider, Zambrotta, Southgate, although nominated, but Mo said winning It is almost impossible to enter the top ten or top 20, because there is a contrast in the Millwall team. The outside world will not think that Millwall is relying on defense to obtain glory, even if defense and offense are inseparable, but in the eye effect judgment In the system, the defensive players have very little favor.


    The Millwall Magic Attack Group is a popular candidate for awards. They have their own strengths and are integrated into a team. Everyone has uniqueness and importance. Because of this, five Millwall stars collectively appeared in the Golden Globe Awards. At the scene of the award ceremony, Nedved, who was wounded, also attended.


    They acted in unison in suits and were interviewed by reporters before entering the ceremony, complimenting each other a little stinky.


    Nedved said that Henry would win the prize.


    Henry said Larson would win the prize.


    Larson said Ronaldinho will win the prize.


    Ronaldinho said that Pirlo is the underestimated master.


    ...


    The five people toasted each other facelessly and sat together in the seat of attention, and occasionally whispered and talked with laughter, seeming not to be nervous.


    Although they all hope that they can win the award, they believe that someone in the team will be able to win a Golden Globe award today, and their teammates won the award, and they are also happy. In the collective concept instilled by Millwall, they understand the concept of honor and honor. .


    Nedved knew that he would definitely not be able to defend the Golden Globe Awards. Larson was obviously no match for Henry''s limelight last season. Ronaldinho was a kind of fantasy. The mainstream of the Golden Globe Awards was who played the magic and who won the prize. Hope is great, Pirlo''s mentality is relatively calm, even if he is evaluated as a template for a new alternative role in the football circle, but whether he can win an award is difficult to say.


    The most promising nature is Henry. Last season''s exclusive goal-scoring machine wanted the performance of the court, overwhelming the crowd, and collective honor. Both hands could not hold the trophy.


    When the result was about to be announced, Henry was the most nervous and his expression was serious, and the other four teammates sat beside him with a smile.


    However, when the results of the selection were revealed, all five Millwall players were stunned.


    First place, Figo!


    Second place, Zidane!


    Third place, Shevchenko!


    Five Millwall stars, not even one of the top three!


    They don¡¯t even mention going to the stage to get the Golden Globe Award.


    Guests attending around, there are players from other clubs, and some retired stars, they all invariably turned their attention to Henry.


    The atmosphere at the scene was strange. After applauding Figo, suspicions followed.


    If Millwall¡¯s star could not win the Golden Globe Award, and the club failed to achieve the Golden Globe Award for two consecutive years, that¡¯s all.


    However, even without the top three, how did the judges vote?


    The five Millwall stars all applauded Figo after an awkward expression, and Henry''s smile was slightly bitter.


    When the specific votes were announced, there was a burst of discussion on the spot.


    Figo, 101 points.


    Zidane, 99 points.


    Shevchenko, 85 points.


    Henry, 84 points.


    Ronaldinho, 82 points.


    Larson, 77 points.


    Nedved, 73 points.


    Pirlo, 69 points.


    Rivaldo, 39 points.


    ...


    Since the establishment of the Golden Globes, a record day has been born!


    Not only is Figo and Zidane, the difference between the scores of the first and second places is very small, this is almost a gap in the ranking of the names of the judges before and after voting!


    And in the next place, the gap between each player is very small!


    Seeing this ranking, Millwall took 4-8, and some senior reporters sighed at the scene.


    In the end, did Millwall win, or did he lose as the result showed?


    The selection of the Golden Globe Awards has always been impressive, which is the accumulation of popularity.


    Figo, Zidane, Shevchenko, these have been nominated in the past few seasons, and continue to have excellent stars, in other words, as long as they themselves are not too bad in the annual performance, they must have A certain basic score, plus the judges¡¯ personal preference, tendency, and the score will not be too low, and as far as today¡¯s result is concerned, the top three votes are too low.


    The reporters also expected that Figo''s election will definitely cause great controversy.


    He played for Barcelona last season. His team honors are zero, the runner-up in the league, the semi-finals of the Champions League, and the semi-finals of the European Cup.


    The controversial transfer to Real Madrid in the summer. Real Madrid can only play the UEFA Cup this season. Despite the momentum in the UEFA Cup, how about that? Can the European Intercontinental Club Championship be the same as the Champions League?


    If Zidane is elected, the controversy will not be too great. After all, he led the French team to the European Cup in the summer, but because of his red card event in the Champions League on the occasion of the Golden Globe selection, his image fell sharply, which led to Minus points.


    Note: Combined with the plot of this book, Zidane¡¯s red card event has a bug, and the chain reaction cannot be justified. According to the original historical conclusion, the event can be replaced with a corner brain supplement.


    Shevchenko in the third place provokes AC Milan''s offensive beam, plus the impression points of the previous three seasons, his score should be quite satisfactory today, but because there is not a big gap with the top two, but Become conspicuous.


    Five to five Millwall stars, what should I say?


    If Millwall has four stars become popular, Millwall''s stars may directly take the Golden Globe Award!


    The internal split vote is too serious!


    Any one of the 5 people can split the votes to two of the other four, and Millwall can take the top two!


    In the past four seasons, Millwall has accumulated a strong impression base points.


    The selection of the Golden Globe Awards, the team honors the league, the Champions League, the European Cup, the World Cup. Personal honors, strikers value the best shooters, other positions mainly focus on team role and contribution, and technical style.


    Millwall in the past four seasons, three league titles, the Premier League champions may not have been persuasive, but three championships in the four years of the European War, two Champions Leagues, a European Cup Winners¡¯ Cup, plus the failure to win the Champions League The year is in the semi-finals. Such a team, especially in the past two years, has created 65 undefeated myths. How can the judges turn a blind eye?


    Larsson, Nedved, that year when elected, the Millwall team''s honor was impeccable. In terms of personal honor, Larsson scored the most goals in Europe in the year, Nedved was the best in the Champions League, and the best in the Premier League. Waiting for the honors, and both of them have the selection of the previous year''s Golden Globe Awards.


    By this year, Larson''s performance continued to be stable, and the basis of the ticket was no problem. Even if Nedved was seriously injured, he missed the new season. However, he was able to contribute to the Triple Crown last season, and the basic points of the vote are also sufficient.


    Ronaldinho is the kind of player the judges like. He is in the stage of promotion. Pirlo is at a point where people cannot ignore him. The more Millwall becomes the focus, the role of Pirlo is getting more and more attention.


    In the end, Henry was no longer able to fault his performance. The Champions League, League, Double Golden Boots, Triple Crown, UEFA Champions League. As a result, he became the highest-scoring person in the Millwall formation, but he still could not win the golden ball. prize.


    If the best team is selected, Millwall is undoubtedly elected, and UEFA did award this honor to Millwall a few months ago.


    However, the selection of the Golden Globes was selected from the five players of Millwall. The judges have their own merits, and it is really difficult to choose. Finally, there has been a serious situation in Millwall.


    The dust of the award ceremony was settled, there is no dispute, anyway, the result is that.


    Five Millwall stars were interviewed with a PR tone when they left the court, congratulating Figo on his election as Mr. Golden Ball, and then hurried away.


    The handsome and handsome five men in suits and leather suits were on the SUV outside, suddenly smiling at each other bitterly, and then the laughter grew louder.


    They probably thought of their full confidence before they came. They must have fantasized about congratulating their teammates on winning the prize, and also imagined the regret of who ranked second, even thinking of the consolation.


    Now, what comfort?


    Ronaldinho proposed to eat supper to dilute the embarrassment and regret of the Golden Globe. No one objected. Now, it is better to do something to distract the mind.


    Today¡¯s Golden Globe Awards result is one of them, and the key is that they are confused.


    We are all three champions, and we are undefeated in 65 games. We are all already in the mythological temple.


    But you can¡¯t even touch the edge of the Golden Globe. God, do we really want to win the Golden Globe if we go to the World Cup?


    Oh, Henry already has the World Cup, he also has a European Cup... only one UEFA Cup is a Grand Slam, do you really have to gather all the trophy that can be obtained and say the spell together to call the golden ball to come? ?


    Aldridge was watching the Golden Globe live broadcast at home. He led the team and lost in Goodison Park in the afternoon. At night, he watched TV. When the result was revealed, he naturally saw the expression on the faces of the five disciples because The live TV footage immediately cut to their side.


    For this result, Aldridge could only smile bitterly.


    There are two Mr. Golden Ball players in Millwall. The club itself does not need to deliberately win anyone to get the golden ball. It is not impossible, but Aldridge feels that deliberately holding a player will be favored, making other players feel cold.


    The public relations campaign is still in progress, but the club does not come forward. During the Golden Globe Awards selection stage, the Millwall mouthpiece media on Fleet Street has been building momentum, but there is also a focus. Henry''s data has been repeatedly amplified.


    However, Millwall is the focus of all Europe, and the momentum of Fleet Street will always be drowned in the discussion and hot discussion of the Millwall team in the mainstream European media. The result is not obvious, but it will always cause debate among ball critics.


    You said that Henry is awesome, but I think Ronaldinho is the most threatening player, and he is the most important.


    You said that Ronaldinho is the most important. I think it is Nedved. How important is the spiritual aspect of the team? He is a leader star.


    It is this endless voice that makes it impossible to achieve good expected results in public relations.


    It''s a pity that the players didn''t get the Golden Globe Awards, but they still have to continue.


    Aldridge received good news the next day.


    Manchester United were beaten by Liverpool in a derby match against Liverpool''s rival at home!


    Millwall lost in the same round as Manchester United. The former did not seize the opportunity to overtake. Manchester United missed the opportunity to expand the lead. The difference between the two teams was still 1 point.


    In the next league, the first battle, whether Manchester United can still sit in the leaderboard of the standings depends on the outcome of that game.

 Chapter 579： Sir Alex Ferguson

    Of the five players who went to the Golden Globe Awards ceremony with interest, four players returned to the club to participate in training. Nedved continued to recover from injuries and is expected to return to the team for joint training at the end of January.


    Seeing these four players on the training ground, Aldridge had only one feeling: quiet.


    It was strangely quiet, and I couldn''t see how depressed they were, nor was it so silent that it was more silent than death, anyway, it was very different from their state in the past.


    Aldridge comforted them symbolically, and it was hard to say much.


    He couldn''t attack the Golden Globe Award on the media platform like he did back then.


    It''s not that the outside world can''t see how good Millwall''s players are, but that they have too many excellent players!


    Turnip greens, all have love.


    The judges are all humans, not machines. Football values ??have different perspectives.


    To put it bluntly, they also lack some luck.


    If Aldridge is a judge, he also commits difficulties, for example, he likes La Liga, then he must first vote to write Figo, then Zidane, Henry, Ronaldinho, whoever comes first, can not be vertical For comparison, I can''t make the brain to think about the order of the next four names.


    If he likes Serie A, or likes the French team, or pays attention to the performance of the competition, then the first name is written Zidane, the second may be Henry, maybe Figo, anyway, the first name is often very important, the latter , Just think about it and fill it in.


    If you like the Premier League, or like the Champions League, focus on the club''s performance, then Millwall players are the judges'' first choice.


    At the press conference before the match with Manchester United, the reporters also asked about the results of the Golden Globes and asked Aldridge''s views.


    According to Audric¡¯s claim that ¡°the best player should help the team win top honors¡± when Larson won the golden ball, then this year Feige was elected, and Audridge should have a complaint.


    But Aldridge was really temperless.


    Figo has two more points than Zidane, and the gap with the back is not big. The advantage is very small. If Millwall has a person who is popular, or Larson and Nedved do not have the popularity of the previous Golden Globe Awards. Accumulation, it is estimated that Henry can win the Golden Globe Award with an absolute advantage.


    Aldridge replied calmly: "If we notice that the top eight results of the final selection are not far apart, then we have to think about why this phenomenon occurs. I think this represents the Golden Globe Award selection. The independence of the judges, each judge has his own vision, different angles of appreciation of the players, players who can become candidates for the Golden Ball must have a skill, and have a good performance throughout the year, therefore, each judge voted for them Appreciated candidates, the reason why the voting is so scattered this time, I think it is indeed a difficult choice. Although Millwall won the Triple Crown last season, but there is the European Cup in summer, the player competition performance is very important The reference standard, and because of the different leagues of the candidates and the different playing styles, can not be directly compared. Figo finally won the Golden Globe Award. Congratulations to him. He has performed well in the past few years and won some championships for Barcelona. The performance in the national team is also very eye-catching. I don¡¯t think there is any controversy in the results of the Golden Globes selection, but as the manager of Millwall, I feel a little regret."


    In Aldrich''s view, there is no need to argue whether Figo is more qualified than Millwall players to win the Golden Globe. The root of the problem is not in the selection results. There are too many Millwall excellent players. Only, so, there is no dispute.


    Millwall lost the Golden Globe Awards and did not even have a player who made the top three.


    However, Millwall has set a record for the Golden Globe.


    Candidates without the top three in the same club received more than half of the total votes!


    Five players, plus Southgate 1 vote, Zambrotta 2 votes, Schneider is sorry, 0 votes.


    Eight Millwall candidates were shortlisted, and the final number of votes converted into scores was more than half of the total score!


    There are already Fleet Street media comforting Millwall, calling them the uncrowned king of the Golden Globes.


    It sounds a little nonsense, but the intention is good, and Fleet Street has not speculated about any shady. Even if there is a dispute, it is not on Millwall. It is Zidane and Figo who deserve the Golden Globe, but in With Millwall''s five-star star "back home", the controversy was not necessary to discuss.


    As far as the matter is concerned, before the Golden Globe Award became the FIFA Golden Globe Award, there was not much controversy. It must be said that Owen was elected in the original history of 01 years. Liverpool, known as the Five Crowns, actually took a bunch of There is no secondary champion, the most important league, the Champions League, but Bayern, who won the Champions League that year, the highest light is Kahn, the goalkeeper wants to win the Golden Globe, it is too difficult, and Ra¨²l was other because of Real Madrid. The superstar has diminished the effect, nominating candidates for many years in a row, but he has never been able to win the championship.


    Each year''s Golden Globe Awards selection has its background and influenced by events inside and outside the stadium that year.


    After becoming the FIFA Golden Ball Award, the biggest controversy was the first in 10 years. Messi was elected. In the Inter Milan Triple Crown, Sneijder didn''t even make the top three, and only won the fourth place.


    Is it controversial?


    If you understand the FIFA Golden Globe Award selection rules, you can only say that Sneijder''s life is bad.


    Assuming that the FIFA Golden Globe Award can be postponed for one year, Sneijder will no doubt get the Golden Globe Award.


    Because the Golden Ball Award of "French Football" was selected by media reporters, Sneijder had the highest vote rate in the media voting at 7.7%, and the second and third places were the white Iniesta and Harvey, 7.53% and 5.96% respectively, Messi only ranked fourth, 4.38% of the votes were less than 3% less than Sneijder, to know that year, only Fran that shines in the World Cup 3.63% of the media voted, C Ronaldo is not as good as Casillas, he is only 0.41%.


    But where did Messi win?


    Won the FIFA Golden Globe Awards expansion vote rules, the increase in the national team captain and head coach vote rate, the two add up, Messi finished all other competitors, more than 10% of Sneijder, Ine Star and Harvey were also thrown away by more than 8%.


    Is such a result controversial?


    Opinions are different, and even if you are unfair for Sneijder, at least you should find the right to attack. It is not that professional journalists are blind. It is FIFA who has made the Golden Globe Awards unpredictable. This is why Pratini was angry. The following is the establishment of the award to restart the European professional selection of the best player in Europe.


    The reporters still complained about the results of the Golden Globe. Fleet Street naturally expected players from the Premier League to win the Golden Globe again.


    In particular, if Henry, who broke the table last season, can win the Golden Ball, Millwall has three Mr. Golden Ball in the lineup!


    Undisputed superstars gathered!


    Aldridge will also be among the other legends: he has cultivated three Mr. Golden Ball!


    Unfortunately, none of this has been achieved.


    Aldridge looked very open and immediately ended the topic of losing the Golden Globe. The theme returned to the prospect of the game with Manchester United.


    "No matter what the result of tomorrow''s game is, the league is not over, the suspense of the league championship still exists. It is undeniable that Manchester United will definitely create huge pressure on me at home. In the past four seasons, Manchester United have been the runner-up in the league. This tone, They have been holding back, and have been accumulating. As a direct competitor, I believe that Manchester United will not let Millwall easily retreat from the away. This is very good. I think that in recent times, Millwall has lacked pressure. He was relaxed and distracted by his previous undefeated record. Either he felt undefeated as if his opponent was unbeatable, or he became more nervous because he wanted to continue the undefeated record. Now, we can forget that record and start over, Put all our energy into the game wholeheartedly, without a doubt, tomorrow is Christmas Eve, we hope to use a victory as a Christmas gift for all fans of the Lions. Beating Manchester United at Old Trafford? We are confident, of course, why Will it? We won the ball there, we will not be nervous, the stronger the opponent, the more excited we are, Millwall should fight like this."


    The next day, the Millwall team went to Manchester to visit Old Trafford.


    Aldridge received boos from all the fans when he walked into Old Trafford. Presumably, he said at the pre-match press conference that the fact that Manchester United had won the Premier League runner-up for four consecutive seasons has uncovered the scars of the Red Devils fans.


    Boo, he is already used to it.


    Ferguson walked into the stadium very seriously, passing Aldridge in front of them, and they greeted each other silently with their backs patting each other.


    Strong dialogue, 6 points battle, even if this is only the final battle of the first half of the league, but for the impact of the entire season, needless to say.


    "Hello everyone, Merry Christmas! This year''s Premier League Christmas battle is really heavyweight, the first battle in the list, Manchester United vs. defending champion Millwall, the strength of the two teams is undoubted, now in the standings, Manchester United is temporarily one point ahead of Millwall, What will be the result after the 90-minute game? When analyzing the game before Fleet Street before the game, many people thought that if Manchester United lost at home today, then, very likely, they lost the competition. The chance of the championship has nothing to do with the situation in the standings, but the spiritual blow to Millwall will affect the second half of the league! Ferguson also said before the game that today''s game is to some extent Manchester United''s In the final, it seems that Ferguson also understands the importance of this battle. Once defeated at home, Manchester United is overtaken, and the mentality of the Manchester United team may be subversive."


    "Let''s take a look at the starting list of the two teams. Manchester United is still in the 442 formation today. The biggest change is that the striker has enabled Solskjaer to partner Van Nistelrooy, Andy Cole is in a bad state, and York is Falling into a love triangle scandal, Ferguson¡¯s contradiction with him is gradually becoming public, and now Ferguson is beginning to try to replace York with Van Nistelrooy. Millwall¡¯s side, Gattuso¡¯s suspension after the suspension and comeback Injury, this game can only be seen from the side, replacing him as the starting midfielder is Neal, I don''t know if he can withstand the impact of Manchester United."


    Aldrich stood on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets, staring at the stadium with a full face.


    When the game started, Aldridge frowned.


    Manchester United playing 442?


    Go **** 442!


    Aldridge looked angrily at Ferguson.


    I am grass, I was stolen!


    Ferguson, you are all knights, and you have stolen the teacher openly, and it was just right to use it when playing Millwall!


    Does Manchester United dare to play 442?


    Keane is good, but the single midfielder restricts Millwall''s attack group?


    If not, not to mention Manchester United, Millwall was already restricted by the giants in the European War.


    Today, Manchester United played a 4231.


    Who is the guy who keeps the back area with Keen?


    It was in the England national team that Aldridge arranged Beckham in the right back position!

 Chapter 580： Golden Globes sequelae

    Manchester United is playing against other opponents, still flying in two wings, Beckham is still playing avant-garde.


    But playing Millwall today, Manchester United put Beckham in the right lower back position.


    The offense and defense situation on the football field is nothing more than repression and repression. Beckham can run, but the speed is absolutely not fast, and the dribbling breakthrough is not his specialty. Therefore, he often can only lean on the front of Millwall''s defense. In the 45-degree zone cross, in the past more than 10 clashes, in addition to positioning the ball to break the goal, the cross threat is not high, but instead his right-side defense on this side has been repeatedly exploded by Millwall, the reason is also very simple He attacked, and when being counterattacked, his speed of explosion could not catch up with the Millwall attacker behind him.


    Moving his position backward to strengthen the defense, both in the lower back area and supporting Neville''s defense on the side, can improve the quality of the defense. In addition, Millwall''s high-pressure forced tactics, Keane was repeatedly attacked by Mill when Manchester United countered. Wall is staring to death, and if there is one more person, there is one more choice to play, and Beckham has a long pass quality assurance, which can exert unexpected effects.


    Beckham is Manchester United, Ferguson can do whatever he wants, but Aldrich is annoyed that putting Beckham on the right lower back is a transformation, training, competition, and creation he made in the England national team. This is good. As the coach of the England national team, he does not expect the club to train him how many outstanding stars, but instead the national team helps the club to improve the comprehensiveness of the players, turn the head of the gun, and get yourself started!


    After playing for 15 minutes, Aldridge noticed that there was something wrong with the signs on the field.


    Manchester United are not in a hurry to attack at home, but Millwall is too aggressive.


    Klose was still tender, and he was not Keen''s opponent in the front waist position. He was ugly only by physical confrontation, but he couldn''t squeeze the opponent. Keen played around with a reasonable card guard and made a steal. They were unsuccessful, and when Manchester United attacked, Klose could not do the defensive effect like Nedved.


    Aldridge was most depressed because of Beckham, and his position was second. Beckham used what he learned in the national team today.


    In the national team, they played against Brazil.


    At that time, Beckham and Neville were defending on the right to freeze Ronaldinho.


    Today, Ronaldinho''s condition is not good, the ball is not decisive enough, Beckham does not rush to grab him, slow down Ronaldinho''s speed, when the time is right, either Neville, or he robs again, and can often push Ronaldinho into desperation. .


    Seeing those two good United friends play well, Aldridge didn''t know whether to cry or laugh.


    Damn, everything the national team teaches you is used on Lao Tzu!


    Is this an enmity?


    Aldrich found himself having a big problem with his formation today.


    This problem stems from his failure to anticipate that Manchester United will play a double back. Even if he strengthens the midfield, it should be Scholes sitting in the midfield and removing the frontline to strengthen the midfield defense.


    With Manchester United in such a formation, Millwall''s attack group, Ronaldinho on the left can''t reach the center, Klose can''t see his role when attacking today, and he doesn''t meet the standard when defending.


    Substitution?


    No, this is a big blow to the player''s confidence. If it is not good, it will become a must for the generals.


    Aldridge called Larson to the front, let him convey the instructions for the frontcourt players to change positions.


    Klose pushed up to the center position, Henry left the left, Larson remained unchanged, Ronaldinho went to play the midfielder.


    Just as Millwall changed, Manchester United launched a fast break from the left.


    Aldridge just saw Manchester United''s offensive routine today, saying it was 4231, which was actually an asymmetrical unilateral flying wing.


    Giggs did not go down after taking the ball on the left. Instead, he went in the middle and Ronaldinho did not return fast enough. Ronaldinho was staring at Keane or Beckham and plugged in, at least Giggs inscribed. Defensive, he should not be responsible.


    After speeding up, Giggs broke through Pirlo and Neil in succession, hesitated before the penalty area, and wanted to go straight to Fanny, but seeing Southgate has predicted to move over there, if he The ball was bound to be intercepted by Southgate, and Giggs shot long, but Bout saved. When the ball hit the goal post and popped up, then someone followed up and shot the ball into the empty goal.


    "Solskjaer helped Manchester United set the first record! Millwall has a big problem in defense today! There is definitely a big problem! Pirlo and Neil were successfully broken through in the middle of the road. This was a scenario that was absolutely unseen in the past. Manchester United¡¯s goal has a certain amount of luck. Giggs hit a long shot on the goal post and rebounded to the other side. Solskjaer just made a shot at the position to make a contribution!"


    Solskjaer did not celebrate after scoring a goal. It has been many years since he left Millwall, but he still does not celebrate when he breaks through the door of the old club, even at Old Trafford, the home of the Red Devils.


    Aldrich''s scalp is numb, just this ball, the most critical area has a problem, lower back!


    Pirlo''s breakthrough is nothing new. Giggs rushed at full speed to overturn the Arsenal''s golden defense. Pirlo''s defense against the top dribbling breakthrough player was a weakness, but he was always broken. It can also play a defensive role. The key is how to do the teammates behind him, Makrele or Gattuso. The tacit understanding of partnering with Pirlo is enough to ensure that Pirlo is forced to accelerate and change the rhythm when the breakthrough is made. Was caught and then stolen.


    However, there was a lack of understanding between Neil and Pirlo. The distance was just widened, and Giggs made two consecutive changes and broke through the two.


    Before reaching the penalty area, Schneider retrieved and Southgate to prevent Ni, this has been restricted, Neal after the breakthrough ran to the penalty area, because Giggs had Matrazi in front of him to block, he Then go to follow Scholes, and this choice is no problem. Zambrotta also went to Solskjaer for the first time.


    But Giggs'' long-range shot hit the goal post and rebounded. Between the electric lights and the flint, the baby face was more alert to catch the two-point attack opportunity. Zambrotta failed to keep up, and the baby face easily made up for the empty goal. .


    At this time, Aldridge went back to think about the game with Arsenal. It was really a loss of his wife and a troop. Gattuso suspended for more than a month. After the comeback, he caught up with the weather and cooled down suddenly. There was no game for a long time. Feeling a little uncomfortable and straining again during training, this series is paved with antecedents and consequences. If he can maintain the state of the game all the time, he will never easily be injured in training the next day after the game.


    When the game reached 30 minutes after the first half, Aldridge walked back to the coach seat and sat down, Klinsmann and Jenson frowned at the stadium.


    Millwall players have a lot of problems on the court today.


    In addition to the decline in defensive quality, the offense is also weak.


    Manchester United put a double back to strengthen the defender''s barrier is one aspect, and Henry is obviously not in a state, looks absent-minded, it seems that his attention is not in the game, he has made mistakes with his teammates several times, and after moving to the left, it seems that he does not even break through Yes, without Beckham''s help, Neville steals from his feet twice accurately.


    Aldrich gestured to the team before sitting down and adjusted his tactics.


    Defensive counterattack.


    Ronaldinho almost withdrew from the center line, and Manchester United''s formation began to push upward.


    Klinsmann turned around and asked Aldridge: "Is it because Manchester United''s fighting spirit is stronger today, or are our players performing poorly?"


    Aldridge sighed aloud: "Both of them. Manchester United is like Arsenal. Now they encounter Millwall. In addition to gritting their teeth, they also want to kill us quickly and defeat us. The result is not only 3. The points are so simple, shameless or just right. In short, Manchester United has completely suppressed us at home. In addition, our lineup is not complete, and the impact of Nedved¡¯s absence is fully reflected in the top contest. There are also some problems with the lower back position. Now it can only compress the backcourt space and reduce the situation where the team''s defense is disconnected due to distance."


    Klinsmann looked at several of the team¡¯s forwards and whispered: "Ronaldinho played so well today, Pirlo also feels a little bit worse, Henry is completely out of shape, what''s the matter with them? Larson now They are all about to become full-backs and Schneider to defend Giggs."


    Aldridge saw that the state of the team was no longer the situation where the head coach shouted a few words to solve the problem, so he let the team back to defense and adjust it at halftime.


    The most desperate Larson was isolated from Klose. Millwall¡¯s attack group was very demanding in the tactical system. One player could not play a role, and the effect would be greatly reduced. Now, two or three players are not playing well. It is conceivable that the offense, especially Manchester United is like playing chicken blood.


    "Let¡¯s go to the Golden Globe Awards, alas, I haven¡¯t been a player before, and I don¡¯t see it. But when I think of the quietness of their recent training, it may be that they are very lost in their hearts. It doesn''t seem to be a problem, but when it comes to the game, it''s two different things."


    Training is just the basis, just like soldiers usually practice. When they really go to the battlefield, they don¡¯t have that consciousness and may scare their pants or turn around and become a deserter.


    Players need to be excited in the game, they need to be in a very excited state to inspire top play, can they kick the ball calmly? Sorry, this is not to play billiards, you need to be absolutely calm.


    After thinking for a while, Klinsmann sighed: "I can understand it. They performed so well last season. The Golden Globe Awards were unattainable. They couldn''t get the Golden Globe Awards with such a good performance. , And it didn¡¯t even make the top three. This is really a big blow."


    Unexpectedly encountered?


    Aldrich tasted Klinsmann''s words carefully, not to mention, it made sense.


    Sometimes you feel that you are already against the sky, but maybe others are even more against the sky? You have reached the limit, but your limit is not appreciated by others.


    In particular, to catch up with the competition year, your excellent performance of the whole season can''t beat the highlights of others'' 6-7 games a month.


    How much does Henry look forward to the Golden Globe Awards?


    When a player has the opportunity to touch the Golden Globe Awards, will he not be indifferent?


    Even in the competition year, he also won the championship.


    Of the five Millwall players who went to the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, his loss and the blow he suffered should be the heaviest!


    If he is facing other weaker opponents today, his contrast may not be that great, but he has run into Manchester United, the league''s leader and the most aggressive.


    Aldrich began to think about other things.


    During the creation of 65 undefeated myths, Millwall was praised, praised, and praised continuously.


    Sometimes, the effect of praise is negative, it will weaken the spirit of a team, make the team proud, complacent, self-righteous, and more likely to become empty.


    Aldridge has little chance to criticize the team and warn them, but someone needs to remind them and sound the alarm for them.


    Aldrich wondered where to find a "person" to take on such a role.

 Chapter 581： Ambition

    The Millwall formation shrinks the midfield and backcourt, and Manchester United''s offensive strikes like a tide.


    In a short period of time Manchester United got multiple kicks and shots, but those who hit the door frame were all bravely resolved by Bout.


    In the 37th minute of the first half, Manchester United obtained a left corner from the frontcourt. Beckham took the corner kick. The corner he took was strange and fell to the back of the goal. Butt chose to attack and jumped up and reached out in constant movement. Touched the bottom of the ball, changed the direction of the ball''s flight, the ball flew out of the baseline.


    But Butt and Stam collided together. The two fell to the ground together. The referee whistle sounded, and Stam was judged to hit the goalkeeper. The small penalty area is the absolute field of the goalkeeper.


    Both fell heavily on the turf when they fell to the ground. Stam had a self-protective action, but one of his legs pressed against Bout''s arm.


    Stam got up and found Bout clutching the painful look on the arm he had squashed. Stam possessed him and asked him about the situation, and then he beckoned to the sidelines.


    In any case, he also played for Millwall and was destined to have no contact with Aldridge, but with some teammates who had fought side by side in the past, the friendship had faded. When the swordmen met, there should be The demeanor should be shown.


    Perhaps, he just wanted to prove that he had absolutely not intentionally caused Bout''s injury through such behavior. That kind of mean behavior was not part of his football philosophy.


    This sudden situation made Aldridge stand up again from the seat, first let the goalkeeper Keller warm up, while also staring nervously at the goal.


    The goalkeeper is injured and the game must be suspended.


    "Millwall is in a bad situation. When the score is behind, the main goalkeeper Bout is injured again. It seems that he can''t stick to the game. The team doctor carefully supported his arm. When he tried to make him move, he could clearly see Bout shook his head painfully... Yes, Bout was going to end. The team doctor had made a substitution gesture to the coach seat. When Millwall was in a passive situation in the first half, Bout was wonderful several times. The save did not allow Manchester United to expand the score, but now, he is going to end."


    The goalkeeper''s position was adjusted, and there was no special instruction. Aldridge encouraged Keller to replace him with a few sentences. On the sidelines, Aldridge waited for the team doctor and Bout walked directly from the player channel on the corner of the court.


    The team doctor informed the preliminary judgment of Bout''s forearm bone fracture, and the specific situation will be known after a detailed inspection.


    Aldridge nodded and asked the team doctor to arrange for Bout to go to the hospital for treatment immediately.


    The team doctor had just left, and Old Trafford cheered loudly.


    Aldridge turned his head and saw that the Manchester United players ran to the corner flag to celebrate, Keller pulled the ball out of the door and kicked out with a big foot.


    "Wow! Millwall, the substitute goalkeeper Keller, who was just put on the field, may be unprepared or perhaps too nervous. He kicked a half-height ball in the penalty area. Who is this ball for, we I don¡¯t know, because the flight path of the ball is in the area between Materazzi and Schneider. There is a player named Giggs, wearing a red devil jersey, Giggs smiles, and a straight plug The ball was handed over to Van Nistelrooy who was offside, who faced Keller with an easy push and broke the goal. At 2:0, Manchester United achieved a very beautiful situation in the first half!"


    This kind of missed ball throwing was very bad morale. Aldridge made a pressure position on the sidelines to signal the players to calm down and don''t be nervous or discouraged by falling behind.


    Southgate shouted loudly to the teammates in the back defense, and also allowed Pirlo to not be too anxious when organizing the offense. Try to slow down the rhythm and let the team transition smoothly for a period of time. If you still want to quickly equalize the score, Under the fast-paced situation, Keller will still make mistakes and help him stabilize before talking.


    Ferguson applauded the disciples on the sidelines, and then let them chase after the victory.


    In this stadium, Millwall has spread the wildness more than once, and left the shame of the Red Devils 6:0. Every time the two sides fight, the Red Devils all want to wash this shame, defeating the opponent is only the basic goal, and should try to enter as much as possible. The ball, win more, can score 10, don''t hit 9 and close!


    In the last few minutes of the first half, Millwall was completely defensive and did not organize an effective counterattack at all.


    When the whistle sounded at the end of the halftime, Aldridge walked into the player''s channel with one hand in the corner of the court, and the Red Devils fans on the court could not help ridiculing him.


    Aldridge didn''t mind, Manchester United did not lead Millwall, even at Millwall''s home, Manchester United also led by two goals.


    Today''s situation is more complicated and unfavorable than before. Aldridge did not name the criticism after entering the locker room, but he still blamed the team''s performance in the first half.


    Millwall is not only not focused on the player''s attention today, but this is a spiritual problem. Through Aldridge''s scolding and criticism, it can at least make up for this problem.


    The problem that Millwall platoon formation was restrained by Manchester United needs to be corrected through tactical adjustment.


    If it is not an established tactic or a tactic familiar to players, if it is adjusted during the game, there is a great risk. According to the momentum of Manchester United in the first half, Aldridge really dare not do it the first time he discovers the problem. Adjustment, it is easy to cause the adjustment effect not to come out, but expose more flaws to the opponent.


    It is necessary for the whole team to unify their thinking and understand how to fight. It is obviously not enough to pass on words.


    Aldridge pulled out the tactical board, quickly drawn a new tactical formation on the tactical board, drawn the offense and defense of the player whose position was changed with a dashed solid line, and circled the active area, which was explained quickly Tactically adjust the thinking, and then make sure that every player understands it before inspiring morale and let them play to prepare for the second half of the game.


    "Tieri, you stay first."


    When Henry heard Aldridge''s words, he glanced at the other teammates walking towards the locker room and sighed softly.


    He knew he didn''t play well in this game.


    Players have had ups and downs. It is impossible to play 8 points in this game today. The next game can still be 8 points or upwards. It only represents the state and then goes up, but after a stable level, basically It fluctuates between 6 and 9 points, no matter how bad it is, there is no way to be the best. Anyway, the focus is on the striker, it is difficult to keep the field goals.


    But today Henry''s poor performance should be related to the missed top three Golden Globes.


    Henry sat down, Aldridge still stood beside the tactical board, said lightly: "Want to talk about the Golden Globe?"


    Henry was a little upset, and the Golden Globe was like a curse, shrouded in his mind and heart, lingering.


    He shook his head and said: "Boss, I promise to go all out in the second half."


    Aldrich whispered: "It''s not that I''m demanding of you. When you reach a player of your level, you can usually adjust it in two or three games, but I think it''s necessary to talk to you about the Golden Globe Awards. Do you think unfair?"


    Henry asked with a wry smile: "Should I feel fair?"


    Yeah, he felt unfair and human.


    Figo, Zidane, Shevchenko, he and Shevchenko are strikers, you can directly compare, there is nothing to say, regardless of the efficiency of the goal or the honor of the hand, his annual achievements exploded Shevchenko .


    Figo and Zidane cannot compare with him.


    But Henry just feels unfair, playing a lot more gorgeous than him, but professional football is not street football, fancy football, is more useful than those?


    He very much agrees with Aldridge''s argument that the best players should be reflected in the team''s contribution.


    Although he did not arrange for Millwall''s goal, but without him, can Millwall win the Triple Crown? This cannot be assumed, but the fact is that he is indispensable, otherwise, there will not be a new world record transfer offer to Millwall in the summer.


    Aldridge walked in front of him, looking down at Henry, who looked a little stubborn like a child, and said softly: "Want to hear my opinion?"


    Henry raised his head to look up at Aldridge, wondering: "Does the head also think I should not win the award?"


    Aldrich said: "I hope you win the award, but it does not mean that the award is positive or negative for you. The Golden Globe Awards are selected by people, not machines, and people will be affected by subjective consciousness, and absolutely not complete. Objective. You need to know that before that, you were nominated for the Golden Globe Award as a winger, but this year, you are a forward. The role has changed, people saw a brand new Henry, and you are just in the center. After playing in the position for more than a season, you are still very young. You lost to Figo and Zidane. The reason is very simple. Their popularity base is much stronger than you. When you were a kid, they had entered. The vision of the Golden Globe Awards has been favored and followed by many people."


    What Aldridge said was half-true and half-false. From the results, it is indeed the reason for the popularity, but the objective fact is that Millwall¡¯s partial vote is serious. If Henry becomes a popular candidate, his vote rate is estimated to exceed that of the Philippines. The sum of Ge and Zidane.


    Henry bowed his head again and said helplessly: "Then I have no chance."


    Aldrich started lightly and wrote: "If you want the Golden Globe Awards, I think it is also very simple, so that the entire football sight is condensed on you, so that everyone can''t obscure the sight, let all the judges be the first when voting The name that comes to mind is Thierry Henry. If you don¡¯t write you in the first place, they will not be able to convince themselves. This is what you have to do. In addition, if you can meet those opponents on the field and beat them head-on, This is more convincing. When Henrik won the Golden Globe Award, it was precisely because Henrik helped us beat Barcelona directly, and beat Ronaldo in the same field on the field, which also helped us win the Triple Crown. ."


    At that time, Larson won Ronaldo very dangerously, and the gap was very small. The background at that time was very different from the present. At that time, the most reliant on Millwall''s front line was Larson. Shevchenko and Trezeguet still belonged to the nova. Larsson scored the most goals in Europe that year, and Millwall was born. The gorgeous offensive football shocked the entire European football.


    Henry closed his eyes, and his expression grew colder.


    Let the sight of all Europe converge on him?


    That''s right!


    That¡¯s how he should be, so that everyone can¡¯t ignore him and don¡¯t have to worry about who is better when compared with other players.


    What is arguable?


    If it is necessary to argue, it is up to him to end the argument.


    "Boss, thank you, I get it."


    Henry stood up and walked out. Aldridge patted his shoulder and stepped out of the locker room.


    Aldrich doesn¡¯t mind talking about personal honor with players, because there is a premise that there is no personal honor without a good team, and on the basis of improving the team, personal honor represents the player¡¯s ambition, or to say it nice: Ambitious.


    Only with such ambitions can players be more stimulated.

 Chapter 582： See tricks

    "Manchester United and Millwall exchanged half in the second half. Henry was the last to walk out of the player channel. When he came out in the winter, he actually poured water on his head. What did Hall say to him in the locker room? He wanted Calm down? At least in the first half of his sloppy shots, he needs to calm down when he seizes the opportunity."


    Ferguson specifically watched Aldridge walk to the position in front of the coach. Both of them stood on the sidelines. If it ended with Manchester United''s victory, Ferguson would invite Aldridge to the office for a drink. At least Beckham moved The odd effect of the waist is what Adrich inspired him.


    It can''t be said that this can be listed as the first choice under normal circumstances, but in the face of great defensive pressure, Beckham''s use of this is indeed much better than letting him hold the edge and play the forward.


    Before the second half of the game, Aldridge put his hands in his pockets, he could hear the sporadic humiliation in the stands behind him, and the Red Devils fans were putting pressure on him to interfere with his thinking and divert his attention.


    This is very common. If it is at the Lion King Stadium, the crazy Lion fans behind the visiting team''s coach seat can radically greet each other''s family.


    Aldrich put his hands in his pockets, stood upright, and closed his eyes with a pretty smile.


    Generally speaking, the fans of the strong teams have a sense of superiority. When they look down on their opponents, they will ignore the opponent and reflect the gentleman''s character.


    Manchester United 2: 0 Millwall.


    There are still fans harassing Aldridge in words, why?


    They have no idea!


    They are guilty!


    They are afraid!


    The 45-minute result never means anything.


    Is Aldridge angry? Is it numb? Ignore it calmly?


    No, he enjoyed it.


    At Old Trafford, nearly 70,000 Red Devils fans are afraid of him, the king''s teacher he leads!


    Ferguson''s expression changed suddenly, his pupils shrunk, and he clearly saw Aldrich''s mouth with a rising arc from the side.


    Two goals behind, the opponent who made him "hate it" was laughing?


    Midfield adjustment, what kind of changes did he make?


    Ferguson''s heart sank slightly, the winning team did not change, Manchester United''s defense and offense in the first half were very effective, he did not make special adjustments in the midfield.


    In the opening, the two sides made their own moves. Manchester United restrained Millwall. In the second half, it was Millwall''s turn to see the move.


    Ferguson held his glasses, intending to observe Millwall''s changes in the second half.


    The second half begins.


    From the scene, the changes made by Millwall are not large.


    Klose center, Henry left, Larson right.


    Ronaldinho withdrew from the midfield and moved to the left.


    Pirlo moved to the right in the lower back.


    This happens to be a measure that limits Manchester United.


    Pirlo defended the right and defended Giggs.


    Ronaldinho counterpointed to prevent Beckham from plugging in.


    There is no change, this formation and position distribution are almost the same as the adjustment of Aldridge in the second half of the first half.


    But when Manchester United''s offensive failed, Millwall''s offensive suddenly felt that the style had changed dramatically.


    Southgate successfully intercepted the ball from Fanny''s foot and went straight to the left.


    Because Manchester United is playing an asymmetrical unilateral wing tactic today, Zambrotta contracted on this side of the defense, no one was on the mark before the attacking halftime, only Solskjaer chased to harass, but because the opponent was Chasing, as long as Zambrotta consciously pulls the distance before receiving the ball, he is a very good receiving point.


    Zambrotta, who led the ball forward, gave the ball to Ronaldinho after Ronaldinho ran out of space.


    Scholes'' first defense was to chase Ronaldinho. Manchester United didn''t care about Pirlo''s move in the midfield and backcourt today, unless Pirlo pressed the frontcourt.


    Ronaldinho made a long pass when Scholes was about to catch up with him.


    Beckham and Keane raised their heads like a brain crash and looked at the ball flying overhead.


    What a strange scene!


    Yeah, Millwall used to attack in the frontcourt, focusing on ground coordination. Delicate and smooth short passes are their characteristics. Even if there is a long pass, it is also a horizontal transfer of the ball. Long vertical pass like Ronaldinho Dangerous areas behind them are very rare.


    This long pass Ronaldinho has enough time to observe and adjust. Keane reacted faster than Beckham and flew towards the penalty area immediately. Before turning around, he realized one of the most disadvantageous situations: Brown!


    In the first half, Brown played well in the back line. Manchester United''s four backs and double-back defense arrangements, coupled with Millwall''s own poor condition and the starting midfielder Klose was suppressed by Keane, Brown did not commit any error.


    However, Millwall suddenly hit a long pass!


    That''s right, it''s the **** long pass that **** England never tires of!


    Brown''s point is definitely a weakness.


    Now Millwall plays center Klozer!


    The scene that Keane saw after turning around confirmed his prediction.


    Brown is chasing, Klose succeeds in countering offside, but it is not rushing towards the middle of the penalty area, or Brown is responsible for the side of the area straight to the bottom line position, neither Ronaldinho''s long pass nor Klose''s running position It would be naive to think that rushing directly in front of the opponent''s goal can penetrate the Manchester United defense line, which is simply to despise the red defensive defense.


    But the height of Brown and the fact that confrontation is absolutely weaker than Stam is something Millwall can use.


    The long pass hits deep, not for a direct fatal blow, but Klose can be used as a pivot to respond to the next offensive.


    Aldridge didn''t just sit on the coach seat and ignore the team''s poor performance, observe opponents, think about coping strategies, find out the weak points of the opponent, see tricks, this is already his inertial thinking behavior commanded on the sidelines .


    Klose stopped in front of the bottom line and turned around. With his turn, Brown turned his back on his back.


    How would he choose?


    Stop the ball?


    Brown is still rushing to Klose, as long as Klose stops the ball, Brown will immediately steal.


    Klose jumped in place, Brown immediately stopped in his jump. Obviously, since Klose jumped, it must be a header ferry!


    Yes, Klose knew what he should do next in a short period of time. Aldrich¡¯s tactical adjustment at midfield, he is the most critical point, because he wants to play a pivot role, at the same time, he also understands other teammates Where is the running position at this time, the coach deliberately arranged.


    He headed the ball towards the rib area in front of the goal. A flurry of figure dashed into Manchester United''s penalty area before Klose''s header and came to the area in front of the goal. It was Brown who rushed to Klose and left Free behind him.


    Spirit Fox Larson!


    Klose headed the ball for him, Larson rushed forward, facing a diagonal ball, he didn''t even need to stop the ball, he directly swung his legs and volleyed. As a striker, he likes this kind of reverse. Volleyball, as long as you eat the positive part, the ball is faster and more powerful!


    BOOM!


    The live broadcast on the sidelines recorded the sound made by Larson when he shot, if he didn''t look at the scene, he thought it was an explosion!


    The ball volleyed by him volley, the track is not clear, because it is too fast, when everyone reacts, the ball has bounced out of the goal.


    "In the first half of the second half, Millwall pulled back a goal! Klose header gave Larson a very comfortable volley ball, the super shooter pulled the perfect flawless volley volley, what did we see? It was a blinking meteor flying across the court, flying into the goal of Manchester United from the foot of Larson, but Bartz did not respond and kept the goalkeeper posture. He did not make any save at all. Maybe it was I was stunned, maybe, scared..."


    The most magical scene is that after Larson scored the goal, the ball bounced out of the goal and rolled in front of him. He just bent down to hug the ball and beckoned toward his teammates and ran towards the middle circle without expression.


    The score is behind, the goal is not celebrated, Millwall''s tradition.


    Aldridge gritted his teeth and waved his fists.


    Old Trafford fell into silence, and many Red Devils fans were worried.


    Has it started?


    Did it start again?


    Ferguson closed his eyes at the moment when the team lost the ball, and then opened it and pointed to the field to let Keane close back.


    Finally, he looked at Aldridge again.


    Not to mention, he admired Aldridge''s ability to command on the spot.


    Millwall, whose main lineup is complete, has almost no weaknesses, integrity, teamwork, tacit understanding, player abilities, and other aspects. Even if the monomer has weaknesses, relying on team complementarity will minimize the negative impact of these weaknesses. It is difficult for opponents to have a set of strategies that specializes in weaknesses to defeat Millwall, otherwise, how can they forcefully win the Triple Crown? How can we create 65 undefeated myths?


    In this game, the focus of the Manchester United coaching staff before the match was on the hidden dangers of Millwall due to irregular personnel.


    Noting that Klose played the midfielder, Keane''s restriction on Klose''s first half was very successful, leaving Klose no performance on both offense and defense.


    At the same time, due to Gattuso''s absence, Neil''s tacit understanding with Pirlo in the midfield is not enough, which is also a point that Manchester United can use Giggs'' key raid.


    Whether it is a restriction or an offensive, Manchester United succeeded in 45 minutes. Although Bout¡¯s injury left the game unexpectedly, in fact Manchester United got a chance in the first half of the 45 minutes, which is obviously more and better than before. It was the best-performing player in the Millwall formation in the first half.


    Strong dialogue, both sides put the best players they can send on the court, Millwall was restrained in the first half, and made adjustments immediately in the second half.


    Ferguson never believes that Ronaldinho''s sudden and abnormal long pass in the middle and frontcourts is his flash of light. This is definitely the "conspiracy" of the head coach!


    It''s not that Millwall won''t be able to play high-ball, this conventional method of side pass is also handy for them, but the long vertical pass directly hangs the ball into the penalty area, but it is very rare.


    In other words, if it is not the head coach''s arrangement, even if Ronaldinho plays like this, Klose may not consciously go to the position.


    But also just running behind Brown, Ronaldinho passed there, Larson also ran in the free area behind Brown, Klose header assists, Larson broke the goal.


    This **** is a well-designed offensive tactic!


    The routine is certainly not dead, but the idea is obvious.


    Grabbing the weakest link in the Manchester United defender line, Brown may not be positive Klose, but when the high ball grabs the point, Brown can''t fight Klose, Aldridge takes advantage of this, where he goes, Klose will run , Teammates pass there!


    What Ferguson is doing now is to get Keane to collect backwards. Even if he is attacked again, Keane can at least fill the empty area left by Brown and Klose for the first time.


    Millwall fell passive in the first half, and in the second half, Manchester United began to be forced to adjust.

 Chapter 583： Unbeatable!

    After Manchester United adjusted the goal after losing the ball, it was difficult for Millwall to try to make a goal through a long pass. As long as the top team does not have a major defect in itself, it can usually quickly make up for the flaw after eating a loss. , A pit, refused to fall into it twice.


    There was a scene on the court that made the narrator cry and laugh.


    Millwall and Manchester United are both four backs with a low back and it seems to be disconnected from the third line, but both teams failed to invest too much force in the defense of the midfield B2B area, resulting in a successful defense. Based on oppression.


    No way, Millwall is a player who can make a huge impact in the midfield when retreating defense, Manchester United is afraid of being overwhelmed by Millwall, Henry and Larson''s speed , Mo said to give them free time on the side and free time on the middle. The threat created by the inward cuts made people shudder.


    "Andy, have you noticed that today''s game has a very big contrast with expectations, Millwall doesn''t play like Millwall, and Manchester United doesn''t play like what we think of as Manchester United."


    "Martin, in this situation, it can be understood that the two sides have done enough to limit each other''s preparations, because the restrictions are strengthened, and the way you play on the court must be changed."


    "In an environment where both parties are uncomfortable, who do you think will be more resilient?"


    "It''s hard to say that football is only based on victory and defeat. The team with the absolute advantage in the scene may eventually lose the game. But I think the situation at Manchester United is getting a little bit worse now."


    "why?"


    "In the first half of the game, Manchester United was obviously well-prepared. They played a smooth and effective 45-minute game. That was the game they had prepared with the expected rhythm. But in the second half, in order to limit the changes in Millwall, They were forced to make changes, and through Keane¡¯s position, it can be seen that Beckham is now embarrassed. Manchester United will adjust, re-adapt, and try to continue to restrict Millwall. In the process, they are passive. , From actively mastering the game rhythm and situation to becoming passive, so I said that their situation was deteriorating, Millwall pulled back a ball, the momentum was high, will Hall still have a back move? We don¡¯t know if there is I think the situation at Manchester United is even worse."


    The scene on the field was fierce, but it was difficult for the two teams to brew a threatening absolute opportunity. In grasping some slightly better opportunities, there was not much test for the goalkeepers of the two teams.


    After a period of adaptation, Keller adjusted the bad state after the sudden appearance in the first half.


    Beckham started at the right midfield to limit Ronaldinho''s performance. The first half worked well, but in the second half, he was a bit idle on this side. Although Henry is a left-winger, he does not push the side. It was through the inward running to create a threat to the middle, Beckham was often thrown away during the run, the defense had no effect, so he could only attack again, but he did not dare to lose his position too seriously, and strengthened the right Ronaldinho moved to the middle to defend.


    Ronaldinho moved to the middle to play in the second half. After the team''s defense improved, his threat began to show. Even if Beckham still came to rob him, the effect is completely different from the first half. Beckham can be small in the first half. Luo Xiadi, focus on blocking the inside, and in the second half, Ronaldinho is in a large area in the midfield, Beckham''s left and right sides are empty, how will Ronaldinho choose? Unpredictable, so the scene of Beckham''s positive breakthrough frequently appeared.


    Ferguson looked more and more dignified on the sidelines.


    Millwall''s adjustment in the second half seems to be a series!


    Keane withdrew to prevent Millwall from playing a long pass, but Ronaldinho''s defensive strength dropped. Ronaldinho was very good. Once Scholes pressed up and attacked, he was counterattacked. Ronaldinho got the ball and was in the middle. The field is lawless.


    Gradually, the advantage on the field has shifted to the side of Millwall. Manchester United played a small and delicate cooperation on the offensive end. It is not ideal. In contrast, Millwall has Ronaldinho and Pirlo in control of the midfield to provide support for the striker.


    In the 69th minute, Ronaldinho and Pirlo got rid of Scholes, and then turned to break through Beckham. When facing Keen in the front of the penalty area, he passed the ball to Larson. To continue the forward insertion, Larson knocked the ball across the right side in front of the penalty area. Henry, who was inscribed on the left side, did not give the defensive player any chance, and then passed the ball to Ronaldinho after the forward insertion.


    At this point the defense in Manchester United''s restricted zone was already in chaos, and Ronaldinho made another kick. This time, it was a fatal straight.


    The ball rolled one meter from Brown''s side. When Brown turned back, he saw Klose''s big tall running position came to the ball''s rolling path and took a shot.


    Seeing Klose''s action was a vigorous volley, he kicked a fault, but Bartz was startled, his center of gravity was shaken, he blocked the near corner of the goal, I thought Klose''s foot ball must be vigorously drawn on the goal post Angle, after all, if the far angle is drawn, the body swings more and the difficulty is greater.


    Klose kicked the ball and the ball spun with a strong spin, slowly rolling towards Manchester United''s gate.


    After moving the center of gravity, Bartez saw the ball rolling and directly sat on the ground, then immediately reached out to catch the ball.


    Oh shit!


    The ball really rolled towards the far corner of the goal.


    His outstretched hand was not enough. Stam was staring at the forward Larson. When Klose shot, he was running towards the goal. At this time, he stopped and started, then rushed to the goal. The whole person slid the shovel. He went out and tried to hook the ball out with his toes. Unfortunately, he was still one step late. The ball rolled over the goal line first, and then he followed the whole person.


    "2:2! 2:2! Millwall played with a pleasing kick from the frontcourt, and Ronaldinho finally assisted Klose in the front of the penalty area. Klose broke, Klose, what a great Young man, he was a shining player in the Millwall formation in the second half. After assisting Larsson, he personally helped the team score a key equalizer goal! Although I don¡¯t want to say that, Nedved¡¯s injury was missing. , Gave Klose more opportunities to play, and his progress has been very obvious in the past half season. Not only can he keep up with the rhythm of his teammates, but also show his extraordinary talent in grasping the opportunity ability! He will be Milwaukee. Is it the next superstar?"


    Klose''s shot was faulty, and he also fell on the court, but when he saw a straight shot through the goalkeeper Bartz''s goal, he climbed up with excitement, against Manchester United, he could also enter Ball!


    And it is the key goal!


    He climbed up and rushed to the side to celebrate frantically, but Henry was hooked to his neck and slowed down halfway. Then, Ronaldinho jumped from behind to his back. Klose said that somersault was celebrated, even with his hands. Can''t make it, he can only hold Ronaldinho''s two thighs, but Ronaldinho''s fist on his back is more like celebrating the protagonist.


    On the Millwall coach seat, the assistant coach rushed out and waved his fists to celebrate, and the bench players also stood up and applauded Klose''s goal.


    What about Aldridge?


    As countless young champions of famous European champions, he is too unpretentious!


    With his arms stretched out, Aldridge made a weird roar while making a plane celebration to circle the area of ??the visiting team''s coach seat.


    Millwall has some generals missing, and there are important players who are not in their best form. They are still visiting games today.


    so what?


    As a European king-level team, even in a disadvantageous situation, we will not be defeated!


    In the Old Trafford stands, only the fans of the crazy lions cheered wildly, and the things that the Red Devils fans were most worried about still happened.


    2:2!


    Sure enough, really!


    The current situation has made most of Manchester United''s diehard fans express similar emotions as Keane''s gaffe last season.


    why?


    Why can''t the crazy lion be defeated!


    Ferguson was disappointed with the team''s second goal drop and could not make effective adjustments because it is now a draw, Manchester United''s home court!


    When two goals lead, it is normal to think about how to limit the opponent. As long as the goal is not lost, victory is at your fingertips.


    But now, Manchester United should think more about how to take the lead again.


    Millwall, let Ferguson burst out a sense of powerlessness.


    They seem to be omnipotent.


    All kinds of offensive methods are proficient, short pass coordination, accurate long pass at medium and long distances, a fulcrum is required, the striker has excellent qualities and kicks, breaks through, and is well organized...


    You restrict them to one item, and they use the other item to attack.


    This is the style of a strong team. The offensive methods are not limited to a single form. They have been used flexibly in the ever-changing game.


    Compared with Manchester United, Ferguson has to admit that a role player is owned by the opponent, but not in his own team.


    Simply speaking, forwards have nothing to compare, different types, and serve different tactical systems.


    And Manchester United has Giggs, can pass suddenly, Millwall has Ronaldinho.


    Beckham is unique, but from a tactical point of view, a precise long pass or pass, Miller''s hand can not count one hand, in the main force, the side pass is open to the left and right, there is Ronaldinho in front, and then Schneider Germany, Pirlo forward also has quality assurance in the 45-degree cross.


    The midfielder, the full-back, and at least the role, there is not much difference, unless it is Carlos-like absolute existence of players.


    What is Manchester United missing?


    Organizational midfielder.


    Scholes'' precise definition is offensive midfielder, and Millwall''s hard-working Nedved in the past few years has also played such a role.


    But Millwall has Pirlo, and the effect of organizing the offense is the guarantee for Millwall to accumulate advantages and burst into power.


    Manchester United, there is no such player.


    Even if Scholes pulls back to play such a role, then they will lack an offensive midfielder, and at this point, Ferguson and Aldridge have the same view on the England national team. Coles pulled back to fight pure organization, that was a waste.


    Ferguson''s thoughts flew, and internal tapping could not solve this problem, so it was only through recruitment, and it was the top player who could fight.


    In the summer, Florentino entered Real Madrid. Real Madrid was going to introduce midfielders generously, and three names came out.


    The first is Zidane of Juventus, the second is Figo of Barcelona, ??and the third is Veron of Lazio.


    There was also a short period of time when it was reported that Real Madrid would smash a lot of money to introduce Mr. Nedvide, but even Real Madrid members laughed and shook their heads.


    That''s completely impossible, unless Real Madrid bought the Millwall Club first, and then operated the player transfer.


    Zidane''s introduction encountered major obstacles. Real Madrid made a choice between Belon and Figo. Once it was rumored that Real Madrid will be introduced at a record price of US$75 million. Belon eventually stayed in Lazio and Real Madrid paid Philippine directly. Ge''s cancellation payment brought him to Bernabeu.


    There is no doubt that Belon is an organized midfielder who has also proved himself in Serie A. If he transfers to Real Madrid with a new transfer record in the summer, no one will think that this money is a problem, but will it It''s parallel imports, and that''s the story afterwards.


    Ferguson remembered the player because Belon had too much news in the second half of the year.

 Chapter 584： Substitute goalkeeper?

    Controversy and scandals have broken out in the Italian arena, which has been common in recent years.


    Belon was caught in a nationality dispute. In September, the verdict ruled that Belon belonged to a non-European player and wanted to occupy foreign aid in Serie A.


    This has caused the Lazio club to fall into very great difficulties. They have a lot of foreign aid. They have been generously recruiting for many years in a row. Almost two years have spent about 100 million pounds in the summer. The high-level foreign aid they bought cannot be idle. ?


    Of course, with Belon''s position in Lazio, even if he wants to make room for foreign aid, it is not his turn.


    Ferguson just intends to follow up on Lazio¡¯s movements. There is news that Lazio¡¯s parent company CIRIO is in financial crisis. The glory brought by Lazio¡¯s generous recruitment is obvious, but the club¡¯s unilateral income cannot completely fill the vacancy of fiscal expenditure. In this context, the sale of stars in exchange for cash to make up is the only option for the club.


    $75 million is too high, and if it can be lowered again, Manchester United can take a risk.


    The thoughts in my mind just flashed briefly, and all kinds of information came together, and Ferguson had the idea of ??further transformation of the team.


    With 20 minutes left in the game, Ferguson and Audridge frequently used the body movements and words to command the team to fight. In the live shots, the two coaches frequently fought against each other in a tit-for-tat fight.


    The atmosphere at Old Trafford Stadium has become unprecedentedly tense.


    This is only the 19th round of the Premier League, but it is the biggest obstacle for the two teams to compete for the championship. The confidence boost brought by defeating their opponents, the spiritual level of encouragement, is beyond description.


    Manchester United is really desperate to fight, and Millwall is not weak.


    Giggs broke through on the left and Schneider and Pirlo closed the door to prevent the fall. Fanny received the ball in the penalty area and was caught by Materazzi and fell to the ground. He faced Materazzi Complaining a few words, Materazzi hit back and dived. Solskjaer was smashed by Zambrota on the right wing of the penalty area. The referee signaled that there was no foul. Old Trafford booed.


    Millwall''s offensive players were also caught in the depths. After Larson was fouled by Silvester twice, the opponent received a yellow card. Keane nearly injured Klose with a tackle. Henry was in In a breakthrough, Neville blocked the route with his arm, and the referee did not play a foul.


    Aldridge and Ferguson both expressed dissatisfaction with the referee''s penalty.


    At the same time as the scene is fierce, every threatening attack is frightening.


    Fanny took the opportunity in the small penalty area. The small-angle push had deceived Keller''s center of gravity. Southgate flew the ball from the goal line to the bottom line. Klose responded to Larson''s pass. Pressed Brown to header the goal, but hit the crossbar and popped it.


    Whether Ferguson¡¯s heart could bear this scene, Aldridge didn¡¯t know, anyway, although he was extremely excited by the ups and downs of his heart, he was getting more and more excited.


    In the 83rd minute of the game, Millwall made a strong counterattack and hit the Manchester United penalty area. Ronaldinho broke away from Scholes to break through Beckham and completed a two-on-one break with the incisive Larson before the penalty area. En''s defensive line, after this series of wonderful performances, Henry and Klose both used a running position to help him contain Stam and Brown. Ronaldinho led the ball diagonally into the penalty area, but was shot by Bartz in the last shot. Resolve bravely.


    Not only did Bartz rush in the right direction, but he also firmly held the ball with both hands, which is a world-class performance!


    Huge applause rang from the stands of Old Trafford, and the commentator was still amazed by Ronaldinho''s series of performances in addition to shooting. When praised Bartz''s bravery, Manchester United also quickly launched a counterattack.


    Butts climbed up from the ground holding the ball, Millwall''s offensive player immediately retreated, the mark-to-mark, the homing homing.


    But Bartz''s hand tossing speed is significantly faster, people, always can''t run the ball.


    Beckham ran forward after the success of Battz''s save. When his starting position was further back, he had a lot of free time when he turned from defense to attack. At the same time, his sprint performance was no problem. This is also his Found after adapting to the tactical system of the England national team.


    If he is still a full-back, he will have to run a long distance to return to the defense. The sprints one after another will definitely be a test of physical fitness, but his starting position is backward, and his defense does not require a sprint at a medium and long distance. Moving forward, sprinting is more threatening, of course, provided that no one is in front of you.


    It just so happened that Ronaldinho hadn''t returned, and he didn''t interfere forward.


    Bartz''s hand thrown the ball to the front of Beckham. He accelerated all the way without stopping to stop the ball and turn around, so the threat of this counterattack could not be ignored.


    Beckham took the ball all the way forward, leaning towards the middle after passing the midfield. Before Pirlo and Neil''s defensive line, Beckham and teammate Giggs completed an unexpected cooperation.


    Beckham was surprised to walk in the middle, and Giggs also gave up the sidewalk and leaned towards the middle to serve as a point of contact.


    Manchester United abandoned the traditional side attack in this attack and concentrated on the middle. It may also be directly related to the decline of Millwall''s defensive quality in the waistline and changes with the changes of opponents.


    Giggs had better ball control than Beckham. After receiving the ball, Dribble broke through Pirlo. When Neal moved over to snatch, Giggs crossed the penalty area and just fell into Pirlo and Neal. Scholes, under the double-mark, was suddenly unmarked.


    Seeing this loophole, Southgate was already rushing forward to block Scholes''s course. He also pointed to Zambrotta at the start, pointing to the position behind him, meaning Zambrotta There is no problem with the contingency strategy of shrinking the restricted area quickly.


    But Scholes did not give Southgate any chance to defend!


    He didn''t stop the ball, he made a step to the right along the trajectory of the ball rolling from left to right, adjusted to the right foot, and swung his leg directly to hit the door!


    At a distance of about 30 yards, the angle of the ball shot by Scholes is not too tricky, but the speed of the ball is surprisingly fast, Keller jumped to save the spot, and the result was a palm distance away, and the ball was just like a shell. Within the goal.


    "Scholes! Scholes! Wonderful and wonderful world wave! Manchester United lead Millwall again at 3:2. This shot is really shocking, Keller has no way, there is never a shortage of matches between Millwall and Manchester United. There are no shortage of wonderful goals!"


    Old Trafford was boiled.


    The Red Devils fans were happily jumping in the stands. After Scholes scored, he ran towards the side of the court without changing his expression, but when he ran, he laughed with Giggs.


    Ferguson, the old man, held up his fists and celebrated with a passion for sight.


    Aldridge felt his head and smiled bitterly.


    Isn''t it time to find at least a first-class goal as a substitute?


    Scholes scored a long shot, of course it was wonderful.


    But in fact, his long-range shooting is fast, and the angle is not tricky. If Keller is calm enough, he can move one step to the left and make a save. Then the ball can be saved. At least Aldridge is sure, Butt can save, if the dead corner is entered, then there is nothing to say.


    The goalkeeper must insist that there must be competition. This is exaggerated because the goalkeeper must stay in the game for a long time. The game is very important. Two people compete? One position, one player, and the other by training alone, how could it be competitive? Unless there are major mistakes in the continuous play of the main force, or the state is bad for a period of time.


    Therefore, when Bout itself is okay, Aldridge never considers the position of the goalkeeper, but today this sudden situation makes him realize that Millwall should have a good goalkeeper substitute with at least a top experience.


    The third goal drop is Keller''s own ability problem. If it is a first-class goalkeeper, the probability of rushing out is at least 65%.


    But the second goal loss, that is, his mistake, is obviously that his mental quality is not hard enough, and he was suddenly put on the court, not fully prepared, and it is such an important game. Once he played, it was estimated that his brain was still buzzing.


    Therefore, the team needs an experienced goalkeeper, especially an excellent goalkeeper with major game experience. In this way, in an emergency situation, experience will allow him to quickly adapt to the environment, at least not to panic.


    With less than 10 minutes of stoppage time in the game, Ferguson waved a big hand, allowing the team formation to close back and defend the victory.


    Aldridge has no other choice. Attack with all his strength and fight back!


    Many Red Devils fans clenched their fists in their chests with their hands. On Christmas Eve, what is their wish for the New Year?


    Let the final time of this game go a little faster, God, the time will go faster and the game will end soon, God!


    The Manchester United formation withdraws to strengthen the three-line connection, and the midfield will form a huge interception force. At least, there are more defenders. Ferguson also replaced Fannie and Bart.


    Aldridge gestured on the sidelines to make the full-backs press up and use the width of the court to attack as much as possible to tear Manchester United''s defense.


    Ronaldinho and Pirlo are in the middle, and with the assists of Zambrotta and Schneider, the four of them seem to have played the magical Samba football. The personal technical stoppage is free, the timing is right to break through, and the personal ability is in Local effects are very good.


    When Manchester United strengthened their defense and weakened their offensive threats, Millwall''s offensive players also increased, and the confrontation between the two teams was more intuitive.


    In the 87th minute of the game, Larson suddenly swapped with Henry. Larson received a pass from Pirlo''s pass on the left in front of the penalty area. He took a horizontal step and then took a long shot.


    "Larson, it''s actually a hanging door!"


    The ball shot from Larsen''s feet seemed to be full of imagination, with a clearly rotating arc around the top of the Manchester United defender''s head, flying straight to the goal at a far corner.


    Bang, the ball hit the top of the goal post and bounced out.


    Bartez had already raised his hand to surrender, but Millwall was out of luck. The pop-up ball was rushed by Henry to stop the ball with his chest. Then he kicked the shot and Batz made a save this time. Henry also played a little positive, but Bartz blocked the ball, and then Stamm made a big foot.


    The Red Devils fans can breathe for the time being, and some fans dare not watch it, which is too exciting for the heart.


    Aldridge didn''t give up on the sidelines, and he also made a two-handed depression, indicating that the team should not be anxious or anxious.


    Many teams blindly attack when the score falls behind in the final stage, and even the rich are inevitable. Most of the consequences of doing so are unable to score goals.


    Millwall has an offensive method and can threaten the offense. At this time, patience and calmness are more needed. If it is anxious, then it does not matter how much time is left in the game.


    The game has come to stoppage time.


    Millwall has completely controlled the game, not only exerting pressure on the offensive end, but also controlling the outer landing points, and the creation of opportunities for the second attack has continued to emerge.


    At the last moment of this game, the atmosphere became so uncontrollably breathless.

 Chapter 585： Buzzer

    The time on the Old Trafford scoreboard jumps from second to second, with 3 minutes of stoppage time and 2 minutes have passed.


    Millwall is still attacking, and Manchester United can''t control the ball at all. Every time he resolves his opponent''s attack, he can only make a hurried clearance. Afterwards, Millwall''s midfield and backcourt players control the landing and continue to attack.


    Ronaldinho became the target of key marking in front of the penalty area, and Pirlo was originally stared to death.


    Seeing the time is up to the last moment, Southgate doesn''t matter so much. If you can''t score, it doesn''t make much difference to lose one more.


    He strode up the meteor, Ronaldinho noticed his activity, the heel kick gave the ball to Southgate, the Southgate rushed up disrupted Manchester United''s defense, he took the ball directly from Beckham In the past, when Bart came to the defense, he distributed the ball to Pirlo, who is now unmarked on the other side.


    Keane stared at Ronaldinho and Bart stared at Pirlo. This was the case two seconds ago. But now, Pirlo is unmarked. Before taking the ball, he looked at the situation in the restricted area.


    Even if Henry, Klose, and Larson interspersed the running position, the space in the penalty area was too narrow.


    Pirlo didn''t hesitate, he adjusted the long-range space while stopping the ball, and aimed at the lower left corner of the opponent''s goal to shoot the ball.


    This is a low-level long shot. Although Pirlo is aiming at the dead end, in order to ensure that it hits the goal range, it is still slightly biased towards the center.


    Bartez fell to the ground and hit the ball with his right hand, blocking the ball out.


    Just when the Red Devils goal wanted to applaud Bartz, the ball that flew to the left of the penalty area was obtained by Zambrotta who cut in from the side. Neville immediately moved over to block and Henry behind him ran out to catch the ball When empty, Zambrotta short pass the ball to Henry.


    Henry, stop the ball, pull horizontally, and then?


    If there is enough space, he will stage a scene that people are accustomed to, start an outbreak, and get rid of the defense. That is his good show.


    But now, everyone thinks that he will definitely turn half and turn directly to volley!


    Brown thought so too, so he reached out and blocked the opponent''s next shot.


    However, Henry unexpectedly spun the ball and turned!


    He and Brown were almost touching each other''s body. Henry forcibly wiped the other side after the other side stretched out and blocked the center of gravity. What about the ball? Rolled from behind Brown''s crotch!


    Brown turned around after the action was done, he had completely lost his position, Henry turned his back on him, did not give him any chance to strike, if he forced a kick, it is likely to be a foul!


    Suddenly pulled over Brown, between the electro-optical flint, Henry''s movement was well connected, facing the goal. At a small angle, Henry pushed firmly. He was close to Bartz, about 5 meters away.


    Buttz realized it was too late.


    The ball rolled over between his legs and leaped directly into the goal behind him.


    After finishing the shot and seeing the ball enter, Henry turned and ran towards the corner flag area, running and nodding coldly, and finally came to the side of the court with a slide, his fists clenched and swayed in front of him.


    "Millwall, the score equalized the score! The buzzer was absolutely flat! Pirlo''s long-range shot was the first wave of attack. After this attack, Millwall launched another second attack by controlling the outer landing point. At this time, Manchester United The defense has been loosened. Henry is no longer caught between Neville and Brown. He has a one-on-one chance with Brown. In the penalty area, Henry pulls the ball and turns around, moves through Brown in a consistent manner, and then pushes at a small angle. Accomplished, it is worth mentioning that this goal, Henry pierced through three goals! Brown and Bartz''s wicket, and, most importantly, the Manchester United door! 3:3, the two strongest **** in England The competition between teams, regardless of location and time, always brings us a passionate matchup. This time, from the results, Hall''s team can play in Old Trafford under the influence of a variety of adverse factors. Virtue retreated, he won again!"


    The Manchester United players stayed in place, and Ferguson even slightly bent his hands on the thighs. This goal allowed them to fly again with 3 points!


    Eh, why is it again?


    Aldridge clenched his fists, closed his eyes and nodded, failing to take all three points is disappointing, but can take away one point away instead of losing, regardless of the festive background of Christmas It still has a positive impact on the morale of the team''s future schedule.


    This is Manchester United''s home court. Despite this goal and the team''s celebration, the game time has come to an end, but the referee will definitely give Manchester United almost 30 seconds.


    Aldridge didn''t make any mark, he directly used the remaining two substitutions, replaced Ronaldinho and Henry, and strengthened the defense with Lampard and Pedretti.


    It''s not that he doesn''t want to score another goal in the remaining 30 seconds to perform a reversal, but the initiative after the kick-off is at Manchester United. If Millwall kicks in, he will definitely not replace him.


    Manchester United also patiently organized the offensive after the kick-off, but by the end of the last pass, it was still a side pass. After Materazzi made a header, the whistle at the end of the game started, 3:3, The two teams shook hands and made peace, Millwall was still 1 point behind Manchester United in the standings.


    Aldridge went to shake hands with Ferguson, and the two had nothing to talk about. Ferguson even dismissed the idea of ??inviting Aldridge to have a drink.


    Every time after playing against Millwall, it was like a real military parade, let him discover the team''s problems, and then the idea of ??transformation is lingering in my mind.


    Today is a special day, Christmas Eve, Aldridge does not want to delay the time for players to go home and reunite with his family. Before leaving the court, he directly explained to Klinsmann: The team left Manchester directly.


    After the game, the dressing room saves the training session. Tomorrow Christmas, the team will take a day off. Some players may not be in London for the holiday. In the evening, there are plans to catch the plane. Simply let them hurry up and arrange their own schedule.


    Aldridge went to the post-match press conference.


    The questions of the reporters are straightforward and straightforward.


    "If Bout wasn''t accidentally injured, could Millwall take away three points away? After all, Manchester United had a goal because of the direct error of the substitute goalkeeper."


    "I will not make this assumption. Once again, Bout will not be injured, will the situation on the field change? Of course it will be another scene. There will be a lot of accidents on the football field. There is no if."


    "If Bout''s situation is bad, will Millwall expect Keller next? You are still behind in the league, and the Champions League has reached the second stage of the group stage."


    Aldridge said after three seconds of silence: "If there is no, I will go to see Bout''s situation and think about it. It is too early to say anything."


    In fact, Aldridge already has the idea of ??introducing a goalkeeper. In addition to ensuring the strength of the bench, but because of Bout¡¯s injury, the reporters are right. If Bout will be absent for a long time, Keller can¡¯t really count on starting. , Usually playing cup games, or the middle and lower league teams, Keller has no problem starting, the offensive pressure suffered is not itself, the strength requirements are not so high, but if it is to play in the Champions League, as well as the key battle of the Premier League upstream group, A performance like Keller today may ruin Millwall''s all-season efforts.


    Aldrich will not shirk responsibility to the player. In fairness, the player is not strong enough, hard, and the responsibility after failure is his. Therefore, he needs to look at Bout¡¯s injury first and then make a decision, but The initial diagnosis of the team doctor has made Aldridge know that it is at least one month''s injury. If it is serious, the time span from treatment, rehabilitation and recovery may be more than 3-6 months. After all, the goalkeeper is injured. The arm, which is almost the same as the striker''s injured leg.


    When asked about the draw significance of this game, Aldridge replied seriously: "First of all, we have not been widened the points gap. If Manchester United wins, they will have a 4-point advantage to start the second half of the contest, 4 points. , Doesn¡¯t sound like much, but for our level of competition, this is a very big gap, although I regret that the team failed to win, but at least did not lose, and maintain 1 point with Manchester United Gap, this is an acceptable result. If we analyze Manchester United in the past few years, we will find a phenomenon. Manchester United always has a strong fighting power in the second half of the season after Christmas, and rarely makes mistakes. In the second half of the season, They will work hard to maintain their leading position, but what I want to say is that Millwall will not give them the opportunity to win the league championship trophy in May, Manchester United, it is best to cherish the position of the leaderboard, they sit on the top There is not much time left, and we will overtake them before the end of the season. There is nothing to discuss about this."


    Manchester United is the league''s half-time champion, yes, they are sitting on the throne of the leader, and the Aldridge did not leave Old Trafford, they directly launched a psychological war, putting huge pressure on Manchester United.


    As for Millwall itself, the temperament and heart of the championship have been tempered, and the champion should be ours!


    Suspicion from the outside world will provoke our desire for progress.


    On the contrary, whether Manchester United can sit firmly in the first place is a huge test for them. Every round of the game inevitably thinks: Will it be overtaken by Millwall?


    In the performance of the players, Aldridge praised Klose in particular. Although the hard-working carpenter had no performance in the first half, he was the most outstanding performance of the team after Millwall played the offensive horn in the second half. Players, the intuitive data of one pass and one shot is very good evidence. As for Ronaldinho, Aldridge believes that his performance has only recovered from the first half of the game to the proper level.


    The reporters focused on Henry.


    In the whole game, Henry seemed to climb up from the trough bit by bit, from the first minute all the way up, and did not reach the peak until the 93rd minute, and then used the goal to help the team equalize the score.


    Aldrich responded to the media with an understatement.


    "Henry scored a very important goal, which is persuasive."


    The forward''s life is diametrically opposed to the defender''s. Most of the time he didn''t perform. As long as he can score goals, he can offset the previous bad performance. The defender''s high light is 89 minutes. As long as there is 1 minute of bad, he may be criticized.


    Aldridge flew back to London by himself, and the club''s special airliner carried the team and left.


    He took a taxi outside the airport and went to his parents'' home in the eastern suburbs. On Christmas Eve, his parents carefully prepared a table of food at home. The Hall family rarely got together for the holidays. Coupled with two little fellows, Burt and Earle, Christmas, It''s fun.


    Big Brother Barnett has frequently made headlines in American business magazines. Outside news has been reporting the fiasco of this investment businessman from the UK!


    2000 was a year of depression in the Internet. The so-called development is too fast and expectations are too high, the bubble collapsed.


    In the process, Barnett also frequently reorganized his investment companies. With the overall market trend, some of his investment behaviors were understood as failures.


    But in fact, the characters on the cusp of the Internet industry, the worst losers, are more profitable than the outdated winners.


    Like Netscape''s merger and acquisition, the visual perception is bleak, but what is the final price of Netscape? 10 billion dollars! If it is not the Internet industry, who can imagine a browser product that can be sold at such a high price? How can the founders of Netscape bulge?


    Barnett''s company, like this industry giant Microsoft, is making a series of failed investments that seem to be "wasting resources". This process is essential, otherwise, how can there be room for survival in the future? During the period of great oscillation brought about by this industrial revolution, those who do not participate or withdraw will inevitably regret in the future, and only those who bravely participate and become the protagonists can get the maximum benefit. Instead of worrying, it is better to move forward.


    Barnett was originally barefoot. The courage to take risks was the basis of survival. He was very low-key when he was in the United States. When he returned to the United Kingdom, he became public. Christmas gifts were given to Aldridge. Luxury cruise ship in US dollars.


    With such a generous shot, this failed tycoon who was laughed at by Wall Street, did he make or lose?

 Chapter 586： Christmas gift

    On Christmas Eve, Aldridge finally coaxed Burt and Earl to sleep. They rarely spend the night with their grandparents. Although there are specially prepared rooms for them, the dazzling toys are all grandparents. Too much love for them, but unfortunately the unfamiliar bed is not used to sleep, and it is not until the eyelids are fighting that it is too sleepy to lean to the head.


    Aldridge was not sleepy yet. On the night of the game day, he had always slept late. He walked up to the balcony of the villa and planned to blow cold air on it to smoke a cigarette.


    As a result, he found that Barnett and Andrew had already stood side by side on the balcony, smoking and chatting. As soon as he joined, Andrew in his pajamas and Christmas hat, obviously dressed, immediately went to get beer and food, and said that he should keep the three brothers together. Gather together.


    Barnett readily agreed, and finally stared at Aldridge with a smile.


    Aldrich thought: yeah, everybody grows up and has their own careers. It is true that they gather together and stay away from each other. It is rare to be able to chat together and talk.


    He will not disappoint naturally.


    "Hey, you sent me the cruise ship, is it a bit off?"


    Aldrich knows that a cruise ship is nothing in Barnett''s eyes. His worth has exceeded 10 billion, and the Internet bubble collapsed? This is indeed the case in the stock market, but in real investment, his assets have not shrunk much. In particular, this round of bubble burst is also his preparation for the next stage of integrating resources to take off.


    Barnett hadn''t answered yet, and Andrew said angrily: "My grass, brother, you have been eccentric since you were a child! I gave Aldridge a cruise ship, me? Why is it a sports car?"


    Barnett said helplessly: "I don''t know what he likes. Of course, it''s best to give gifts. Isn''t your favorite collection of sports cars? Tell me, how many cars are in your garage? Can you go to the car show? Is that right?"


    Andrew took a sip of wine and suddenly laughed again, saying, "23 top sports cars, and limited editions. After 20 or 30 years, maybe they are out of print! I mean, you should send me at least 10 cars. A sports car, not one."


    "Okay, you come back and make a list for me. I will ask someone to send it to you."


    Barnett didn''t care about the money at all. As the eldest of the brothers, he was like this since childhood. He always gave what the two younger brothers wanted.


    Aldrich spit out smoke and hit Barnett''s shoulder, saying, "I haven''t answered my question yet."


    Barnett sighed: "Audric, is it interesting to ask? Why can''t you be like Andrew? Just accept it, you are always like that, it''s very out of the ordinary, it seems that we must open the distance between us ."


    Aldridge was really choked and speechless.


    When he received a huge gift of 200 million US dollars, he felt at first that the gift was too heavy to receive.


    Finally, I thought of a crappy reason to cover up, Aldridge reluctantly said: "The problem is, I don''t use this thing very much, I still have to invest a lot of money every year to maintain and so on."


    In his personal consumption, the largest annual expenditure is now the construction of small islands and daily expenses in Australia. Now, he has to bear another cruise ship. Thinking about it, it suddenly makes people very stressed.


    The cruise ship is ready, but where does it stop? No need to manage? No need to clean up and maintain? No maintenance required? The cost of starting once is not low.


    Barnett pressed Aldridge with one hand and smiled: "The maintenance cost of the cruise ship is hung under the name of a company in the offshore financial center. You don''t have to worry about it. I think you should hire a butler to help you Take care of these matters, just like you are on a small island in Australia, you can¡¯t ask everything in person, right? You pay for it, and you want to relax after work, then just enjoy the ready-made, you don¡¯t have to aggravate yourself burden."


    Aldridge grinned and said to Andrew: "Look, the big boss just talks differently."


    Andrew didn''t laugh, but mocked: "It''s not that he is different, the strangest thing is yourself."


    After he finished, he rolled his eyes.


    Aldridge was helpless and despised!


    Think about it, it is time to ask someone to take care of these trivial matters.


    The three brothers talked about it, Barnett¡¯s business situation in the United States, and a little princess added to his family. Andrew¡¯s personal problems, it¡¯s not always fooling around alone? When it comes to Aldridge, his situation is the most complicated. The status quo is simply very happy. There is a kind of family, but there is still a role like "ex-wife" appearing from time to time.


    Aldridge also felt a headache when it came to it.


    On average once a month, Melanie will appear in front of him. On the surface, he is not directed at him. Visit the two sons or take them out to play. Aldrich needs to be accompanied.


    Barnett seemed to care more about fame, and vaguely reminded Aldridge that it would be best not to make a reputational mess.


    Andrew laughed and scolded Aldridge for being unaware of the blessings. There were two women around him robbing him. How many men could not envy him.


    "Ah, not to mention you anymore, go and drive to blow out outside."


    Andrew¡¯s proposal, Barnett and Aldrich didn¡¯t even want to go, but they couldn¡¯t hold back the Hall¡¯s old erhu, who was entangled. The three brothers changed their costumes and went downstairs. Although Andrew rarely came back to live here, the villa¡¯s garage There are really a lot of his cars here, of course, that doesn''t belong to the collection series.


    Aldrich and his elder brother thought they were driving a sports car, and as a result, Andrew had thrown helmets on them.


    Aldridge and Barnett wanted to cry without tears.


    This **** winter, Christmas Eve, let''s go out for a ride on a motorcycle?


    Why not make up some of Arthur''s dogs as fawns? Hang them on the line, drag a seat behind, and we pretend to be Santa!


    Not to mention, the three of them drove out on motorcycles, and laughed and laughed along the way.


    The long-term feeling keeps coming up.


    When he was young, Barnett had a broken motorcycle. When nothing happened, the eldest brother was carrying two younger brothers on the street, and at the time, he felt chic and happy.


    Now, they are driving high-end motorcycles, and they dare not dare to go up in speed. The more wealthy they are, the more they sacrifice their lives.


    Even so, the three seemed to have returned to their boyhood, traveling freely on the street, aimlessly, forgetting everything, and simply enjoying the pleasure and joy brought by speed.


    ...


    It was crazy to play in the evening. Aldridge got up late on Christmas day. When he went to bed together, he received Christmas gifts.


    Bout''s injury left him at least two and a half months away.


    After a hundred days of injury, Bout hurt his arm again. Two and a half months is just a conservative recovery date. It is another matter to be able to play the game and deal with key battles.


    Aldridge did well to realize Bout¡¯s reimbursement in the second half of the season.


    The sun was shining today, and Aldridge had no plans to travel. When he got up, Ewen had already come to Arthur. In the afternoon, he walked to the lawn in front of the villa, sitting on a swing and holding a laptop to work.


    Burt and Earl are playing football on the lawn, Ewen and his sister-in-law are chatting, Aldridge is desperate, and now he will start looking for the main goalkeeper in the second half of the season.


    He first picked up the phone and called Boas.


    "Hi, Velas, Merry Christmas."


    "Uh, Merry Christmas, is Bout''s injury not optimistic?"


    "guessed?"


    "Well, the team needs a reliable goalkeeper, right?"


    Part of Boaz¡¯s job is to update the player profile system that the club has established over the years, but also his personal hobby.


    "Let¡¯s ask for it. First, the goalkeeper I bought must have strength and experience. Second, I don¡¯t buy this goalkeeper for a long time to replace Bout. When Bout¡¯s injury comes back, I will investigate his State, as long as the competitive state can be restored, Bout will still be the main goalkeeper. Third, the price is not too expensive, I don¡¯t want to cause controversy during the winter break."


    Aldrich¡¯s three requirements, the first one has nothing to say, the second, he really hasn¡¯t thought of taking this opportunity to replace Bout with a better world-class door in the future, everyone is emotional, Bout It¡¯s trustworthy. The strength limit is really difficult to match the god-class goalkeeper, but Millwall has never made irreparable mistakes in key battles in these years. If he was eventually abandoned by the team because of his injury, according to his age, sure It is impossible to accept a substitute anymore, so Aldrich, whether rational or emotional, is just looking for a firefighter, and then he can substitute Bout in the future. The third requirement is to avoid external pressure caused by the transfer and avoid becoming the focus.


    "Okay, I will select the shortlist and send it to you as soon as possible."


    "Uh, hard work, goodbye."


    Aldridge hung up the phone and searched for suitable candidates on his computer.


    To be honest, the number of suitable candidates he can find in his memory at this stage is almost zero, because what can be remembered are basically some famous people, especially the position of the goalkeeper, which is not conspicuous in itself. Several people, both capable and able to come off the bench, are really scarce.


    Andrew got up later than Aldridge. Now, he came out with two cups of steaming coffee in his pajamas. He still wears a Christmas hat on his head. Is this deliberately vulgar?


    He handed a cup of coffee to Aldridge, then sat down on the swing next to him, glanced at Burt who was playing football with his feet, and laughed: "Your son seems to be a professional player in the future, um, I acted as an agent for him and packed him into a big star."


    "You''d better stay away from my son, I don''t want them to be damaged by you."


    "Humph, are you qualified to say me? When they really start to understand things, they don''t know how to explain what happened to you and Chisholm."


    "Don''t force me to pour coffee over your head."


    "Hey, joke, joke."


    Aldridge took a sip of coffee and suddenly turned to look at Andrew solemnly.


    Andrew was startled and said, "Would you really want to pour me with coffee?"


    Aldrich shook his head and said, "Help me, contact the gunmen on Fleet Street, and fire all over to criticize Millwall."


    Andrew froze, exclaiming: "Ah?"

 Chapter 587： Site is too old

    Aldrichto Andrew does things that are commonly used by politicians.


    Use external pressure to condense internal hearts.


    Just like some heads of state will use war or national security crisis to arouse unprecedented national unity and support.


    The media on Fleet Street has Millwall¡¯s mouthpiece, and these interpersonal networks cannot move, but through Andrew to find a middleman to contact the gunman to attack Millwall, the matter itself is not difficult.


    Aldrich didn''t want to shout slogans to the team over and over again. Once, twice, and more, it would make the team "immune."


    He believes that too much praise from the outside world has begun to counteract Millwall and is weakening Millwall''s soft power.


    This kind of situation is placed on a single player, a player whose psychological quality is not hard, is commonplace, and some players start to forget about it after being praised, and Millwall has been praised for more than two years! No matter how strong the team''s resistance is, there is also a tendency to lose the fortress.


    After discussing the matter with Andrew, Aldridge received a call from Boas.


    The search for a substitute goalkeeper has yielded results.


    According to Aldrich''s requirements, there are actually few options.


    The main goalkeepers of first-line clubs are basically impossible.


    In fact, we can only find those old goalkeepers who are too angry.


    The young Hope Star has no experience, and no one can predict how it will perform. The goalkeeper position is very special. It is difficult to stay in the team with quality assurance training, unless Casillas like us will usurp the position in time. , Or perhaps Buffon''s youth became famous as a natural place.


    Aldridge greeted his family and drove back to the club.


    On Christmas, it is estimated that there is only one day off, but because of the goalkeeper, he has to work overtime, return to the club and coaching staff, and return to the department to operate the winter transfer.


    The Christmas War has just come to an end, Millwall will play three leagues in the next week, in fact, four Premier League games in 10 days!


    After returning to the club, Aldridge worked with the club goalkeeper coach to study the data compiled by Boas.


    There are not many candidates that Boas can recommend. He believes that the most reliable number one is named Palyuka.


    When he heard Boaz¡¯s recommendation, Aldridge was very emotional. He really forgot this man.


    Is Palyuca famous? Of course there is!


    But in Aldridge¡¯s memory, I really can¡¯t remember this person. In this life, when he met Inter, Palyuka was sitting on the bench. Peruzzi started. The Millwall coach team studied the opponent and was direct. Ignore the opponent''s substitute goalkeeper automatically.


    Now, Palyuka has left Inter Milan, playing for Bologna, looking at the European War, Millwall can not meet him.


    Aldrich watched the video while looking at the field data compiled by Boas.


    In Italy, Palyuca was criticized for a period of time before, which is understandable, because that is a country where defense is art, and any mistakes by the goalkeeper will be magnified infinitely.


    Paljuka may not be able to analyze the ball''s path as accurately as Peruzzi, or save a penalty as magically as Tordo, nor direct the team''s defense as Schmeichel did.


    But he is a goalkeeper who has played the basic requirements of the goalkeeper to the extreme. He is without a sword, showing in the eyes of the world is a sense of sight.


    The 34-year-old goalkeeper still has the fighting spirit and calmness. The fearlessness of saving is appreciated by Audridge. Keep in mind that the goalkeeper is often kept at the same height as his opponent''s feet and shot by people reasonably and legally. Living target, the first thing that a good goalkeeper must overcome is the awareness of human self-protection. The conditioned reflex to avoid danger is precisely that, Palyuka is typical in this regard!


    When looking at the data of Palyuka, Odri? noticed that when the club counted the performance of players, the position of the goalkeeper was not simply a list of how many saves were made, what the success rate was, and different data in different situations were more representative The player''s overall level, such as the average distance of kick kick, the pass success rate, the attack judgment success rate, etc.


    Palyuka had a stat that was surprised by Aldridge.


    The melee in front of the door ends the opponent''s attack success rate!


    This statistic is very important, especially for the team at Millwall level.


    Their opponents, it is difficult to penetrate their defenses during regular offenses. The highest ball drop rate comes from chaos, especially when chaos in the penalty area occurs, such as when the opponent plays a second attack, or the ball appears unexpected refraction After changing direction and falling into the danger zone of the penalty area, the goal is lost, the head coach can not criticize the team''s defense, because it seems that it was caused by an unexpected chaos.


    Aldrich thought of Paliuka''s height of one meter nine, plus 87 kilograms of weight, brave and fearless, to be honest, when one person looks at another person, the subconscious mind will make the eyes look more like it!


    Although the recent memory of this person emerged because of Pirlo, and it was still negative, in the original history Pirlo had a penalty kick to play Palyuca, which angered the Bologna players. When Pirlo went to celebrate the goal, he After being warned by the other party, he was shoved his head...


    But Aldridge also remembers the sporadic evaluation of Palyuka''s entire career performance.


    Palyuka is like an unoffensive Tai Sui in the penalty area. Whoever underestimates him will inevitably pay a heavy price, and perseverance and perseverance to face every impact of Palyuka, four words are enough to summarize: Standing too old!


    "Just him!"


    Aldridge made a final decision, and at the same time glanced at the names of other candidates, it was not as good as Palyuka to satisfy him.


    In particular, Palyuka is 34 years old. When he comes to the team at this age, it must not be a substitute for Bout. It will make Bout not think about it when he is injured.


    The team¡¯s goalkeeper coach has no objections. Among these candidates, Palyuka¡¯s experience, strength, and undoubtedly, although the technical characteristics are not as clear as the god-class goalkeeper, there are no major flaws. This person is to practice basic skills Here comes the best.


    Jenson frowned slightly: "In the middle of the season, I suddenly want to dig a main goalkeeper of the Serie A midstream team, which is probably a bit difficult."


    "Take a look first."


    Aldrich didn''t want to delay the time, if it didn''t succeed, talk first.


    Millwall quickly sent an offer to Bologna, asking for a purchase of Palyuca for ¡ê3 million.


    Bologna''s reply the next day was: do not sell! Never buy!


    Palyuka''s return to Bologna is to contribute to his hometown team. If the team sells him for 3 million, it is too ruthless.


    Millwall''s second offer was ¡ê4 million.


    Bologna quickly replied: do not sell.


    The non-sale label has been torn off.


    There are many rich clubs in Serie A, but not every club has a natural economic geographic background and a wide boss as the backstage.


    Millwall''s third quote that afternoon, ¡ê5 million!


    The British side was calm, but the news came from Apennine.


    Probably internal Bologna was discussing the transfer and leaked the wind.


    After hearing the news on Fleet Street, there is nothing to be fussed about.


    Millwall''s main goalkeeper was injured, and the backup goalkeeper could not be trusted because of the mistake against Manchester United. The second half of the season is more critical than the first half.


    Millwall sent a ¡ê6 million fax to Bologna on the third day and the fourth offer.


    Bologna was finally relieved: we can sit down and talk slowly.


    Aldridge lamented the cunning of the Serie A team.


    The outside world knows that Millwall is looking for a goalkeeper. Since Paliuca has been caught, Bologna has no reason not to take advantage of the fire!


    The winter transfer window is about to open, and it will be closed a month later. At the same time, the registration for the second half of the Champions League will also be reported to UEFA in February. How can Millwall have time to talk to the other side slowly?


    However, since Bologna''s attitude has changed from not selling to sitting down and talking, Aldridge will not be nonsense, let the club last offer: 8.5 million pounds!


    Sell, we talk to the players directly.


    Don''t sell, simply, we go to find another replacement.


    For a 34-year-old goalkeeper, Millwall''s offer has been fully sincere.


    The currency of the Italian transfer market is the US dollar, which is now gradually being replaced by the euro. The pound has rebounded strongly in the second half of 2000, and has rebounded from 1.5 to 1.5 against the US dollar in September. In other words, Millwall used almost 13 million dollars to buy par Liuka.


    If Bologna does not sell, he will certainly not be able to get cash in Palyuca, after all, after another year, Palyuka really entered the age of retired countdown.


    Aldrich didn''t know what was going on in Italy. Every time Millwall made an offer, the Italian media would get the news as soon as it was, as if the media had placed a megaphone inside Bologna.


    After getting news on Fleet Street, Millwall felt sick.


    Spend almost ten million pounds to buy a 34-year-old substitute goalkeeper?


    How about Millwall, who has always been stingy in the transfer market? Will you spend money?


    Aldridge made a few complaints inside the club, but the club staff responsible for the transfer puzzled him.


    The news must have been leaked by the Bologna Club for the first time.


    The purpose is very simple, let Palyuca be tempted.


    Palyuka transferred to Bologna in the summer, he wanted to play for his hometown team and play the heat. The club now sees money and wants to make a fortune. Of course, he is sent away ruthlessly.


    Offer Millwall time and time again, his interest, offensive, sincerity, enthusiasm, etc. are presented to him through the media, let Palyuka himself have a psychological impact, and then the club will Talk about Liuka.


    Selling him and earning a fortune is also a contribution to his hometown team.


    When Aldridge led the team to fight the Premier League Express, the club had sent a negotiating team to Italy to discuss the transfer with Palyuca. The transfer fee agreement between the clubs had been reached, and Millwall finally gave in. 9 million pounds, approximately equal to 13.5 million US dollars.


    Palyuka is in a state of hesitation, and the situation is a bit awkward. The club has "sold out" him, he will not leave, stay? But if he goes to London to play football, this is related to changes in his entire family life, and it is certainly not short-lived, so he must be cautious about this decision.


    Aldridge called Palyuka himself the day before the winter transfer window opened.


    First tell the opponent the status of coming to the team.


    He will be the main goalkeeper in the second half of the season.


    Later, after Bout''s injury is cured, if the state of Bout is okay, Palyuka will play the substitute. Millwall will give the substitute goalkeeper about 10 to 15 games each season. If the main goalkeeper is in a bad state There will be more opportunities for the backup goalkeeper to catch.


    In the end, Aldridge sent Palyuca an invitation with sincerity. At least Millwall had an Italian element. There were many Italian players on the team. The environment inside the team would not make Palyuca feel lonely.


    Palyuka opened the day of the transfer window on January 1 and signed the contract. It is expected to report to Millwall ten days later. On the 14th, the Premier League will be scheduled for the first show.

 Chapter 588： Red and Blue War

    On January 1, Millwall officially announced that Palyuka would transfer from Bologna to Millwall for a transfer fee of ¡ê9 million.


    When the Italian media evaluated the transfer, Bologna made a profit, implying a mockery of Millwall''s "man is stupid".


    Fleet Street also felt that Millwall had completed a ridiculous deal.


    They used almost the first-line clubs to buy the main goalkeeper''s money, bought a substitute goalkeeper, and is an old goalkeeper who has no value-added space and is increasingly worthless.


    Aldridge attaches great importance to the second-highest transfer value in the club¡¯s history, and he personally attended the press conference with Palyuka. He praised Palyuka on the spot and expressed his trust in him. Wall''s most important signing in the transfer market this season.


    Fleet Street is quite speechless, whether Millwall is a signing in the summer or a Kaka that can be signed and introduced only by a labor certificate, this is Millwall¡¯s investment in the future, and Palyuka¡¯s ability to fight is beyond doubt For now, nature is the most important.


    A faceless reporter on the scene questioned the correctness of Millwall to spend a lot of money to introduce Palyuka. Odric mercilessly slammed the opponent''s eyes. He did not mention the importance of Palyuka to the team in the second half of the season, but said Palyuka¡¯s experience is priceless, and can bring Millwall a variety of positive effects that sound illusory. Of course, others can¡¯t understand it, or can¡¯t hear the sound of Aldridge, but Aldridge really counts on Pa Liuka¡¯s old knife can stimulate Bout again in the goalkeeper position. As Bout becomes more and more stable, the gap between him and substitute goalkeeper Keller will become larger and larger, and he will become comfortable in the main position. Now Here comes an "old guy" who has the ability to put some pressure on Bout, but it''s just that you can''t co-exist until you die. This degree is caused by age, and Aldridge likes it.


    At the same time, Aldridge also hopes that Palyuka''s arrival will also affect more or less the next goalkeeper that Aldridge has high hopes for: Joe Hart.


    The goalkeeper position change cycle has always been very long, especially for the goalkeeper team that is young or famous and dominates the main position. How many people did Kahn kill in the club and the national team? How many Casillas desperate for the same generation of excellent Spanish goalkeepers in Real Madrid and Spain? Buffon, Van der Sar...


    Joe Hart is not yet a teenager. When he reaches that age, it is exactly the age of the metabolic curtain of Bout. Aldrich hopes that Hart can become better under the influence of Bout and Palyuka. In the future, he will play the important role of the giants.


    As for ¡ê9 million, there is indeed a suspicion of being killed by Bologna.


    But Aldrich doesn''t think so. The outside world always ridicules Millwall''s obscure media columns or ball critics. Really professional ball critics choose to be silent.


    Because everyone has different visions, at the Millwall level, it''s a matter of whether they are actually killed by millions of pounds.


    Palyuka is a parallel import, so even if his transfer value of two or three million pounds, Millwall will also be ridiculed and the money spent injustice.


    But if Palyuka can show what he deserves and help Millwall guard the gates in the second half of the season, what is ¡ê9 million?


    Not to mention the huge interest gap between the league champion and the runner-up, Millwall can play one more game in the Champions League, the stadium income on the match day, the broadcast income, the tournament bonus, ¡ê9 million? That''s just that the Bologna level team will be serious about it.


    Aldrich also took this into account, so he spent a lot of money on Palyuka''s transfer without changing his face.


    Rather than buying a 3-4 million goalkeeper to make him sleep well, he would rather spend more money once and for all.


    Recruitment is risky gambling, there is no absolute security and no risk, but from the list of all candidates Boas sent him, only Palyuka has the highest probability of winning Millwall gambling, saving millions of pounds , Knowing that it might be possible to buy a bomb back, this kind of thing, Millwall may have a fight when he has no money, now, can''t commit it!


    Outside gossip, let him go.


    Palyuka returned to Italy after attending the press conference. It was necessary to move and arrange family members, which all took some time.


    At the same time, Millwall announced that Lampard and Ashley Cole had left the team on loan and went to Millwall''s nearby Valley Stadium in the second half of the season to play Charlton.


    This loan transfer really caused huge controversy. Even the fan organization wanted to have a dialogue with the club for the first time, trying to understand the inside story.


    With two stable substitutes leaving, Millwall appears to be actively reducing his strength.


    Aldridge understands that this is also the only way for the Millwall club at this stage.


    The club has reached a fork in the road that must be chosen.


    Is it to maintain the dynasty with a group of stable members, or to continue the tradition of cultivating new people in the past?


    The advantage of the former is that the record guarantee is higher and it can continue to be more brilliant. The disadvantage is that if this group of major players undergo a major change in the lineup, the club will fall into a blue and green situation.


    One of Millwall''s hallmarks is to train rookies and have outstanding blood-making capabilities.


    Players can be loaned out, but in the early days they must cultivate their DNA of Millwall, so players like Alonso, when they must have a stable playing opportunity, let him play in Millwall¡¯s environment and think in football The brand of Millwall is branded in the middle, and then rented out. There is not much problem with the running-in after the return. If it is rented directly at the beginning of his career, then after the return, there may be the same as the team is not playing at all. In the case of style football, in the end, he failed to reach his youth goal of hematopoiesis.


    Aldrich believes that there is a constant condition behind the development of modern football: persistence.


    Whether it was the Ajax that once shocked Europe, the ascending Barcelona, ??or the renaissance of the German football now in its infancy, all adhere to the principle, and finally set foot on the prosperity of ZTE.


    Millwall can''t abandon their initial team building strategy for their rise and development, and must ensure that every season gives newcomers a chance to hone them, even if there is only one or two each season, this is a signal of persistence and will give more youth Player confidence will also be the foundation of Millwall''s long-term development.


    Things can''t be generalized. The loan between Lampard and Cole weakened the thickness of Millwall''s bench, but it also has external factors such as the background of the England national team. At the same time, Audridge wants to train Alonso in the first team. correct.


    In January, Millwall joined the FA Cup. As the FA Cup champion in the past two years, Millwall still continues the tradition, and the cup will not be the main force until the finals!


    Given that the day of Nedved''s recovery is approaching, Klose is also hitting the physical limit. Since August, he has the same game density as the main player, but it is a lot more than the number of games he wants to play last season. It''s not a good thing to make him tired too much. Although it makes him go up the ball very quickly, Aldridge still intends to let him rest after one month and turn into a bench. In the first match of the FA Cup, he competes with Leah, Grenchar led the Trident, Ramall, Alonso, Pedretti''s midfield orderly distribution, there are "veteran" Neil to Barzali, Metzel de Ferreira Waiting for the decompression, Millwall played a hearty game and beat Stamford 6:1.


    Since this month, the Premier League has entered the rhythm of Millwall and Manchester United. Although Arsenal try to catch up, their poor away record (only about 25% win rate) makes them even when Manchester United and Millwall make mistakes. Still unable to shorten the distance, the Premier League contention is only between red and blue.


    Palyuka had zero opponents in three consecutive Premier League games and quickly won the trust of fans and the team.


    The psychological war between Aldridge and Ferguson also kicked off and became the main theme of the Premier League in the second half of the season.


    In January, Manchester United suffered a tie, Millwall won more and less, and points overtook Manchester United.


    Ferguson declared that Millwall will make mistakes, the undefeated gold body has been broken, the players have been honored in recent years, they will relax when leading, and the decline in offensive firepower is the best evidence.


    Aldridge hit back: Manchester United have been the runner-up in the league for four consecutive years. Millwall¡¯s lead is like a nightmare shrouded in Old Trafford. This momentum will overwhelm Manchester United¡¯s confidence. The first psychological collapse will be Manchester United.


    Sigh on Fleet Street, Feng Shui turns in turn!


    At that time, Ferguson caused Keegan to lose his mind, leading by 12 points and eventually crashing. At that time, the background, the Red Devils League three years in two championships and one Asian, Newcastle United empty-handed, the championship temperament Manchester United are better, Keegan is too eager to prove himself meter.


    Now, Ferguson''s old tricks are reappearing. Aldridge is neither Keegan nor Millwall nor Newcastle United. What''s the difference?


    The champion, the number of champions.


    Will Millwall crash? How can Millwall relax when the two teams are not far behind and Manchester United will overtake them at any time?


    A contradictory situation is that if the gap between Manchester United and Millwall is widened, Millwall may indeed have the kind of situation that Ferguson called the champion to get soft and loose, but once Manchester United falls behind too much, does Manchester United still have The stamina and fighting spirit reverse Millwall? Aldridge¡¯s counterattack was straightforward. He lost to Millwall three times in a row for four consecutive years, and once lost to Arsenal. It cannot be said that Manchester United is used to the second place. Such inertia and psychological shadows will have a profound impact on Manchester United.


    At the same time, Fleet Street began to be spurred by the media on Millwall. Aldridge repeatedly defended the team for the first time and defended the accused disciples. The white-faced and red-faced tricks he planned began to play a role, and the Millwall team became unprecedented. Unity.


    In February, Millwall God of War Nedvide recovered from injury and returned to the state of the game at the beginning. The Premier League semi-finals began to enter the second stage of the UEFA Champions League group stage. Millwall suffered two consecutive draws in the Premier League. Overtake Millwall again to regain the throne.


    Not waiting for Ferguson to speak, Aldridge first fired: Manchester United could not win the league title in four years, the team is extremely eager, but now must make a choice, whether to win the Champions League or fight for the championship? Manchester United is absolutely unable to cope with double-line combat, this point, Millwall is definitely stronger than Manchester United! If you are greedy, it''s a joke!


    Ferguson was irritated by Aldridge''s remarks and responded: When Manchester United won the championship, Millwall didn''t even know anything about the top league! Has Millwall already made a choice? League? Or the Champions League? Do you want to defend both? Stop dreaming!


    Aldridge responded in a big voice: this dream, the Millwall team is doing it up and down! Than honor? Don¡¯t mention the old calendar, I don¡¯t ask too much. Let¡¯s count from the Premier League era. In the 92/93-94/95 season, Millwall let Manchester United three seasons. Who do we count the league champions? Well, the same. Counting the Champions League trophy, Mill Waldo one, okay, let Manchester United count the Champions League championship decades ago, everyone, like to count the FA Cup and League Cup in the Premier League era? Everyone in Millwall will dream and dare to dream, because we are adventurers with dreams, and the champion genes have been integrated into our blood!


    The two champions are head-to-head, making the lively audience extremely enjoyable. Anyway, both teams are hated now. Manchester United has always had many enemies. Millwall has also been targeted for many years. Ferguson and Aldridge have pinched each other. For many people Speaking, it''s really popular!

 Chapter 589： Critical turning point

    The picturesque scenery in March of Yangchun, the changing conditions of European football, and the constant slaughter of flames!


    The war of words between Ferguson and Aldridge has been heated up, and the two have even been described by the media as endless enemies!


    The Premier League has also completely entered the orbit where it is difficult to predict who will win the crown.


    The average leader position in the two rounds of the league will change the position. Manchester United and Millwall, the gap is always kept within the range of 3 points and one ball. Whoever makes a mistake, the opponent will seize the overtaking, but neither team can continue steadily. Played several consecutive winning streak to maintain the leading position.


    There are both the team''s own pressure and injury problems. At the same time, the Premier League has reached the stage where most teams start to "fight life". The downstream teams need to relegate, and the middle and upper teams need European tickets. It is best to play. Instead, it will be a midstream team that has passed the relegation line but is absolutely hopeless in the European War.


    Fleet Street continues to create a hostile atmosphere between Millwall and Manchester United. The war of words between Aldridge and Ferguson has also made headlines. Everyone knows that no matter who wins in the end, there will definitely be a loser and a loser. Every word and every sentence spoken in this process of outside fighting will be turned out to be a laughing stock in the future!


    In March, Millwall was out of the FA Cup, and the bench was blocked from the top 8 of the FA Cup, against Liverpool.


    In the second year of Hollier''s complete coaching of the Red Army, Liverpool began to show signs of revival. At least at home and abroad in the third-line cup competition, they are like a bamboo shoot!


    The League Cup has just won, and the Red Army will be defeated to win the FA Cup and then cut the mad lion!


    In a single season, the Cup double play eliminated Millwall, and the UEFA Cup also passed all the way.


    In the second stage of the Champions League, Millwall initially committed the same problem as the first stage of the group stage. He came to a draw with AC Milan in San Siro and returned to the home to break the iron of the Belgian giant Anderlecht. Barrel array, but went to Paris in the third game, but encountered a draw away, the promotion situation has become suspenseful.


    Aldridge''s evaluation of the team''s performance in these few games is only four words: quite satisfactory.


    But this is the result he most wanted.


    When it''s time to sprint, don''t force yourself too early!


    AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain struggled so hard that they only got a draw at home.


    In the next three games, Millwall made three straight victories, 6 wins, 4 wins, 2 draws, 14 points, and advanced to the quarterfinals.


    Anderlecht returned home to fight for the hope of promotion, but Millwall won with a defensive counterattack with a bloodless blade of 3: 0.


    At the Lion King Stadium, people witnessed Paris Saint-Germain''s inability to parry, AC Milan''s dying struggling, two games, the score is the same, both are 3:0.


    After winning three games and scoring 9 goals without losing, Millwall greeted the Champions League quarter-finals with a clear start and a competitive attitude.


    Fleet Street is excited!


    It has nothing to do with Millwall.


    From the outside view, Millwall has no suspense to advance to the top 8, and the top 4 is the minimum consumption!


    However, when the UEFA Champions League list of eight was released, England boiled.


    Millwall, Manchester United, Arsenal, Leeds United!


    A Coru?a, Valencia, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich.


    In the quarterfinals, the Premier League team took 4 seats!


    Serie A has fallen!


    Now is the era when the Premier League and La Liga are competing!


    Fleet Street can¡¯t wait to call out the slogan of the Premier League¡¯s rise to Europa, and it also cited the Premier League¡¯s new broadcast contract that began next season soared again, breaking the 1 billion pound mark. What does this prove?


    Prove the value of the Premier League''s ratings, and also guarantee the source of funding for the long-term development of the Premier League...


    Next, everyone is most concerned about the Champions League draw group.


    The worst situation of the 4 Premier League teams is to catch a fight and be divided into different half zones. If they are in the same half zone, at least one team can be guaranteed to reach the final!


    After this assumption is put on the table, the coaches of Manchester United, Arsenal and Leeds all want to scold the mother!


    I bought a watch last year!


    Who the **** wants to be with Millwall? I don''t want to do it with the half area!


    After the lottery result came out, the whole England was shaking!


    UEFA is really powerful.


    The four Premier League teams did not meet, all of them were drawn to foreign teams.


    The upper half.


    Paris Saint-Germain vs Arsenal.


    Manchester United vs Bayern Munich.


    Lower half.


    Leeds United vs A Coruna.


    Valencia vs Millwall!


    In addition to Manchester United not being happy, the fans of the other three Premier League teams cheered and celebrated.


    Arsenal won the Paris Saint-Germain, which was not too strong. Leeds United signed a good luck. They picked up the 8 strong powers of La Coruna and Millwall''s opponents. Oh, the UEFA Champions League final was staged again last season. !


    After the draw results came out, the bookmaker adjusted the Champions League winning odds for the first time, and Millwall, the number one hottest winning odds, was sharply lowered!


    Valencia was defeated by Millwall in the finals last year. They played 180 minutes in two rounds. The probability of Millwall passing is higher than the final. At the same time, the opponents in the second half of the semifinals, Leeds United and A Coru?a It is difficult to have the strength to prevent Millwall from reaching the final, and since Aldridge took office, it is an unbreakable law that the final must be won in important events!


    Of course, they lost the Charity Shield champion, but no one would think that kind of event is an important event.


    When Aldridge first appeared in the media after the Champions League knockout draw, he refused to answer any questions related to the Champions League because his role has changed from the Millwall club coach to the England national team coach.


    At the end of March, the national team assembled to prepare for the World Preliminaries.


    The England internationals came to the Leo training base, and Aldridge held a press conference of the national team in advance, and then concentrated on preparing for the battle.


    There are still reporters asking him questions about the club, he automatically ignored.


    Moreover, he thought that there was nothing more to talk about.


    Strength is there.


    But for the prospects of the World Championships in England, Aldridge''s job as the national team coach, he can not help but answer.


    "The team in England has a total of 8 games. If we divide these 8 games into one stage, the 1-5 game is the foreshadowing, and the 6-8 is the decisive battle. Now I can¡¯t look forward to the decisive battle, because this has a premise, That is, in the next 4 and 5 games, the England national team can qualify for the decisive battle! If these two games are lost, the meaning of the next three games will change. People think that Greece is not strong. But I don¡¯t think so. Greece still has the chance to fight for the playoffs. It happens that the game with England is their biggest turning point. If they can beat us, the probability of their qualification for the playoffs will be greatly improved. If we neglect the enemy, say Maybe he will miss the World Cup."


    Aldridge¡¯s words did not arouse Fleet Street.


    The outside world''s enthusiasm for Aldridge''s role as the national team coach has been unprecedentedly high. People have seen the qualitative change of the national team in his hands in the short term. Before the England national team has no problems, no one will ask for trouble to make him difficult. .


    In order to participate in the World Cup, not only must I support Aldridge, but also be objective and calm.


    Aldridge is right, in this group, England, Germany, Finland, Greece, Albania.


    The hot spots are two traditional strong teams. Albania is definitely impossible to qualify, and the chance of qualifying for the play-offs is not slim. It is simply impossible. Unless eight games are played, the other four teams are all released.


    But Finland, Greece, it is absolutely possible to become a dark horse team, squeezing out a traditional strong team to qualify for the playoffs.


    Germany temporarily leads the pack, while England is not optimistic, with 3 wins and 1 draw each with only 4 points.


    Next, in the fourth and fifth games, although the round has not yet reached the final battle, as Aldridge said, these two games are very crucial to decide whether Greece and Finland have a chance to become dark horses. Turning point.


    Coming to Leo training base, Aldridge and Klinsmann exchanged player status on the sidelines.


    "As the season closes, the status of these players who play the main role in each team is at least maintained at a generally high level. This is good news, though."


    "But their physical condition is not optimistic."


    Aldridge spoke out for Klinsmann.


    "Yeah, Millwall and Manchester United are all two-line combat. They compete in the league. The Champions League has reached the quarterfinals. Liverpool have even more than our game. The League Cup has won and the FA Cup has entered the quarterfinals. , The UEFA Cup has also entered the top 8!"


    Aldridge didn¡¯t complain or sigh, so it¡¯s not to be blamed.


    He and Klinsmann walked to the training ground and looked at the tired England internationals in various expressions. They organized their training in an orderly manner. These were some easy training projects. Even the tactical exercise was canceled, and the players were tried as much as possible. Relax and rest.


    At this time, as long as they are able to maintain good health and come up with a good physical state, for a few days of competition, the competitive state will be better played.


    The atmosphere of the national team was not as relaxed and happy as it was last time, because everyone was under a lot of pressure.


    Only a small part of this pressure comes from the national team.


    Mostly, it comes from the club.


    In the next less than two months, it will determine what they can gain from their efforts throughout the season.


    Dense competitions, forced by the league situation, may have some games against mid- and downstream teams become key battles.


    For Owen, Gerrard and other players from Liverpool, the league is no match for the championship, but the qualification of the Champions League still has to compete, and there are two cups to go all out, they not only play more, as traditional giants A member of the team, the pressure may be greater than the Millwall players!


    With 10,000 steps back, Millwall could not win the championship this season, which would not be too much of a blow. But Liverpool, if they can¡¯t reach the Champions League, can¡¯t get a more weighty championship, just relying on a League Cup, this The word giants really can''t say anything.


    The pressure from the players, coupled with the confrontational emotions within the Premier League, everyone has less talk, either for whom, or just do not want to say, can''t relax easily!


    For this reason, in the two-day home training of Aldridge, they are very grateful to Aldridge.


    Everything the young master does, they all see in their eyes, they are most in need at this stage.


    There is no rhetoric to emphasize that the national team''s game must win such vain pressure.


    Nor did they work overtime to increase their physical burdens, and coming to the national team was more like taking a breath and rejuvenating.

 Chapter 590： Levy in Greece

    Aldrich''s coaching style has never been inseparable from the iron fist. Whether it is the player he currently coaches or the player who has left, when talking about him, he will say that he is strict and stern, but it is a completely different concept from merciless.


    On the training ground, during the break time, the internationals sat in a circle. Aldridge walked to the middle and sat cross-legged, talking openly to the players.


    "I know everyone is tired. Everyone except Hargreaves has played or played in the Premier League. I know that there is no pain during the winter break. I know that starting from March, all fronts will enter the sprint. Pressure, public opinion, camera, fans, head coach, etc., all parties will use expectations, demands, orders, etc. to make you have no moment of respite. I will not say that for the honor of the national team, let you stick your teeth , I don¡¯t think it will have obvious effect. Let¡¯s be realistic. You are tired and need to rest. These two days are spent here happily. Let yourself relax and recover as much as possible. Then we go to Greece, the main force of the national team. You will all play against Greece in the next game. If we win, then you will play Albania in the fifth game. You can rest and let the bench players play."


    The internationals sitting in a circle looked at each other, and many people were relieved.


    When I came to the national team, I was really afraid of the regular intensity training of the club. The intensity and rhythm sound the same, but I have to play two away games in a row!


    And it''s not the club''s domestic short-distance away, but the flight away to foreign countries. This boat is tired, can you not be tired?


    Aldrich''s words were already clear.


    When playing away from Greece, the main force wins. When playing away from Albania, the main force should go on vacation.


    Although it is an honor to play for the national team, it also depends on the situation.


    If it was in the second half of last year, when they were full of vigor and vitality, each nature was eager to fight, but now, they are almost exhausted into dead dogs in the club. It is better to rest for two more days.


    Moreover, fighting Greece is a key battle.


    Playing Albania sounds like abusive food.


    Aldrich informed them of the arrangement in advance, also to arouse the fighting desire of the main players. They only had 90 minutes of performance, tied, lost, and played one more game. It was insignificant to play against Greece. It should not be lost, or, England itself has no room to lose points and will not win. Negative public opinion after the game will surround them again.


    "You are tired, give you rest, this is not my sympathy or simple understanding of you, but I think that this will help us win the game better. You have not played together for 4 months, and now it is just easy to gather Local training, so, in the game, you have to use this game more."


    Aldrich said to point his finger at his temple, meaning: mind.


    "Focus and thinking, and the desire to win. I don¡¯t want to emphasize that we must defeat Greece. One thing I want to emphasize is: we should defeat Greece! Your strength, victory over Greece is what you should do, even if you win, Don¡¯t expect to be praised, because you¡¯ve only done what you¡¯re doing. Of course, if you can beat Greece beautifully and perfectly on the road, then I¡¯ll take back the previous sentence, and, I will praise you.¡±


    In this lap, the internationals sitting with their hands on the grass behind Aldridge suddenly looked up and laughed.


    Aldridge was puzzled and asked, "How? I am telling a joke?"


    Beckham, Lampard, Southgate and others are still laughing.


    The most senior Hargreaves said truthfully: "Coach, the British media say your praise is poison."


    Aldridge slammed his head and laughed.


    Lift a stone and hit your feet.


    Psychological warfare has been used up in recent years, and his praise has almost become a curse.


    In fact, this can''t be blamed. Using the media to fight psychological warfare, there are basically only two options.


    The first is to hold opponents, and the second is to scorn opponents. The former is the praise from Aldridge. He will praise how a team is, let that team become the focus, bring pressure to the opponent, and may also cause pressure on the opponent. Conjecture from the outside world, is Aldridge in favor of a certain player of the opponent? To achieve the purpose of disturbing the opposing party''s military.


    The latter is to provoke the opponent, contempt and disregard, may cause the opponent to lose their calm in the game.


    Psychological warfare is much used, and his words, as long as they involve opponents, sound half-truths.


    "Hall''s praise is poison, and Hall''s devaluation is spirit."


    This is the conclusion of Fleet Street.


    Although many of the players are laughing, they all understand the purpose of Aldridge.


    After contacting him for a long time, he will gradually understand his coaching style.


    As long as it is not a problem with the player¡¯s professional attitude, Aldridge will not treat the team routinely, and the specific situation will be analyzed in detail.


    This is even more true for leading the national team. The training is adjusted in accordance with the situation of the players. The game schedule is flexible or flexible, but the purpose is the same. That is to help the team win, especially to enable the players to be able to play in the game The best state reached.


    In this case, at least Aldrich doesn¡¯t think that step-by-step routine training for the team can achieve better training results. Everything is for the 90-minute game. Training is no exception. It is necessary to be relaxed, relaxed and flexible, which is a major feature of his coaching.


    Since training is not strengthened, in such a relaxed atmosphere, Audridge will instill more confidence in them, especially to calmly face the outside voice.


    Even though England does not rank in the top three, top five, or top ten in the forest of top world power teams, the top ten is still barely able to advance, so as long as it is not a world-class opponent, then winning and winning should be taken for granted. Don''t be happy, don''t be complacent, you should digest the game, find the shortcomings, and do better.


    In terms of tactics, the prototype has taken shape, and it is still in an ascending period of maturity, but no major adjustments will occur.


    Now Aldridge is about to start to polish the inner spirit of this team.


    England can¡¯t talk about lying tigers, hiding dragons, but the players who can enter the national team are all players with strength protection. After the storms and waves, they can understand the intention of Aldridge, and they can¡¯t rise to admire that realm, but they are also sincere. Acceptance, especially that can resonate deeply in the hearts of many players, what Audridge emphasized is also what their team needs most.


    Winners are not arrogant and discouraged, the heart of the strong!


    The training content is loose and there are many breaks, but you can''t let the players chat and fart?


    Aldridge and the coaching staff watched the opponent''s video with the players in the conference room. This was all sorted out by the coaching staff. It was not for the players to watch a game after 90 minutes. That would obviously be very boring.


    The coaching staff will sort out the representative of the opponent''s offensive routine several times as typical, point out that the opponent threatens the player, the offensive focus, and the offensive method, so that the players can understand the opponent in the shortest time and be psychologically prepared.


    After two days of training at Leo Training Base, the England national team embarked on a journey to Greece in a uniform and leather suit.


    In 2004, the home of Greece will move to Piraeus. This time England is visiting Greece, and the city to go to is Athens.


    The visit of England to Greece this time, from the day before the game to the beginning of the game, can be seen from the local street atmosphere of Greece: the Greeks are not afraid of England!


    Even Finland can draw England at home, and Greece has a chance in theory!


    Although the performance of Greece in the first three rounds was worse, as Aldridge said, the most important thing is that in the fourth round, fifth round, and sixth round, their fate is still in their own hands. In the hands of the team, it is no need to think about directly advancing to the top of the group, the qualification for the play-offs can still be contested.


    At the beginning of the Chinese lantern, the sky was dim, the stadium was full of lights, and the bleached stands had greeted the enthusiastic cheers of the Greeks.


    Such a game is a matter of life and death. Both teams cannot afford to lose. If England loses, the hope of qualifying for the group''s first place will be almost shattered. The reality is that the final four rounds will be played for the qualification of the playoffs. If Greece loses The hope of qualifying for the play-offs is slim, but in fact it is completely missed for the next World Cup. After all, Germany, England and Finland are all ahead of Greece.


    But against such a background, the fans in the stands did not treat England with the eyes of their enemies, even if the United Kingdom removed countless heritage buildings from Greece that they were proud of...


    When Aldridge walked into the stadium, he could even hear the cheers of the Greek beauties in the nearby stands, calling his name, but did not cheer for him.


    When he walked to the coach''s seat and stood still, Aldridge''s face sank like water. He couldn''t relax easily in such a life-and-death battle, and he didn''t even know why!


    Even if he led Millwall to the Champions League final, Aldridge could properly decompress himself and calmly faced.


    However, England challenged Greece away, but Aldridge could not relax at all.


    Deep down, I found countless reasons to explain.


    Are you tired?


    Is it because the team hasn''t played together in 4 months?


    Or, even the team is tired?


    For these reasons, Aldridge cannot convince himself.


    In the end, he thinks, it may be that England routinely drops the chain like a shackle carried on the people who care about this team.


    In the past, Aldridge did not have this shackle. He was a spectator of England''s victory or defeat.


    Now, as coach of the national team, he has changed from a bystander to an authority, involuntarily, subconsciously worried that England fell off the chain without warning.


    The players from both sides lined up to enter the field. The English starting players all had serious expressions. After three days of rest, the competitive state itself would not have an impact. Because they had a game mission in the club before, but because of a reasonable rest, the physical state did not reach The peak state, but at least not tired from the beginning, now, it can only be said to be in a more optimistic state.


    "The fourth round of the World Cup European Qualifiers Group I is about to begin. Greece sits at home against Athens, the hottest team in this group. After 3 games, Greece only scored 1 point and England scored 4 points. Greece unexpectedly lost to Albania. Their situation became very bad in less than half of the group stage. It was England who was sympathetic to them. England also scored only 1 point in the first two rounds of the group stage, but after losing to Germany, England immediately changed coaching and led in the Premier League. Audrey Hall, who has achieved a brilliant record in recent years, took office and immediately achieved an impressive record of three victories. There are two friendly matches commendable, with an away victory over Spain, a home victory over Brazil, and one more It was the last round of the group stage that defeated Albania at home. England now has 4 points. Greece and England. If they want to qualify for the World Cup, this game is their life and death battle. If they draw, it is the most important for the two teams. Unwilling to see results!"


    The players on both sides were scattered in their respective half-time formations, and the life-and-death battle was on the verge.

 Chapter 591： Joe Cole Courier

    Fans who like Beckham must be impressed by Beckham¡¯s unbeatable free kick in 2001.


    It was in the final round of the World Preliminaries. England scored Greece at the last minute of the home game, thus pressured Germany to advance to the World Cup finals with the same points.


    At that time, the head coach of Greece was named Rehagel, and it was the famous coach who created the Kaiserslautern mythology and led Greece to write mythology in Portugal in 2004.


    Beckham''s free kick kicked the ball even though it was stunning. The question behind it is: why can you easily defeat Greece''s England on the road, but instead return to the home. In the situation of a tie or absolute qualifying, you will be forced to the end. At the edge of the cliff where Xiao Beili turned the tide?


    Aldrich looks back on Greece in this period with the eyes of people coming over. The answer is simple: Rehagel.


    Now, Rehagel is not the coach of the Greek national team, but it is not far from the day when he took office. The Greek national team has skyrocketed under his hands and started a legendary journey, while England defeated Greece and returned to the home court. Unexpectedly, I will encounter a Greece that has been renewed in both technical and tactical and military spirit. Originally, I thought that I could easily win the opponent, and the result was almost forced into desperation.


    Now Aldridge will not compare himself with other famous coaches. As the leader of a dynasty team, he should have the confidence to never question his own confidence and the ambition to overcome all detached people.


    Eriksson led England to all 3 points in Greece, and Aldridge never doubted whether he could do it.


    But victory is not only about confidence and fighting spirit, but down-to-earth work is the guarantee of victory.


    Standing on the side of the court and directing the team, Aldridge carefully observed the targeted deployment of Greece''s technology and tactics today.


    Greece played very well at home. Offensive and defensive looks balanced, but it is stable to seek danger.


    England has been concentrated on the defense of Lampard and Ashley Cole from the beginning of the opening. Greece¡¯s frontcourt offensive force actively attacked this side. It seems that it has had a profound study of England¡¯s past three games.


    England''s three-half position makes it very difficult to advance the attack from the middle, because there is also a Scholes who withdraws halftime when defending.


    Take the sidewalk and choose one of the two.


    One side is Begane Neville, and the other side is Lampardja Ashley Cole.


    Greece believes that Beckham''s side, no matter from the tacit understanding and strength experience, is much stronger than the Lampard side. Therefore, their offense wants to open the side gap from the right.


    Lampard and Ashley Cole rented out Charlton in January, and now it has become an unshakable main force at Valley Stadium, helping Charlton not only stabilize the ranking of the middle reaches, but also step by step. Climbing up, the two have significantly improved in the stable English overtime.


    But today was targeted and targeted by Greece, and the defense areas they were in charge of frequently.


    Ashley Cole was so annoyed that his opponent bullied him young and attacked this side. He didn¡¯t have the long pass guarantee as Lampard did. The full-backs backcourt crosses must be cautious, resulting in several attempts. Even if a successful steal is forced to the sideline, they can only save the ball and return the ball to the opponent.


    He knew that this was not what Aldridge wanted to see.


    Defensive success, this is only the basic requirement of the defender, then, a stable shot is the first criterion in the offense, plus England to play fast, his big foot clearance, is a disruption to the team''s offensive system.


    Southgate saw Ashley Cole''s embarrassment, so he took the initiative to retreat in a defense to ensure that he had enough room to receive the ball and adjust it. Ashley Cole cut off the opponent''s wing. After cutting the ball inside, he beckoned and Ashley Cole saw Southgate''s position safe and passed the ball to the captain who was almost close to the bottom line.


    Southgate stopped the ball and passed cleanly to the right to hand the ball to Neville. England organized an attack forward.


    Aldridge frowned on the sidelines and his opponent pressed the right, causing another problem: Lampard and Ashley Cole seemed to be afraid of the other side''s heavy attack on this side, and they dared not rush into the counterattack.


    The England team has only three frontcourt offenses in a short period of time, and only Beckham or Neville support forward in the backcourt. There are fewer contact points. The offense players are more likely to be marked and the field width is not fully utilized.


    Aldridge bowed his head and thought, sighing softly.


    I originally thought that these players could fully understand the essence of his tactics. It seems that in actual combat, they still lack the flexibility to adapt. This has always been the persistent problem of the England national team. The players themselves lack creativity and the team''s technical and tactical system. Lack of flexibility.


    In the fierce game on the field, Aldridge came to the coach seat, holding the ceiling with one hand, and said to Jenson: "Bart''s position is too dead, draw a simple tactical picture to me, and pass it to the court to make him understand What should I do, if he can''t adapt to this tactic flexibly, I should help Hargreaves as soon as possible, anyway, Hargreaves has started to take a lot of opportunities at Bayern this season."


    As an assistant coach, Jenson has followed Aldridge for many years. Aldrich''s tactical settings are basically known, and by observing the game, he can also find problems.


    Since Aldridge spoke out, he immediately worked hard and looked up and asked, "Is it just based on the current situation?"


    "No, let him understand the highest requirements directly."


    After Aldridge finished speaking, he looked back at the stadium, with his other hands on his hips.


    Bart, as a midfield defense midfielder, has helpers on both sides, but this does not mean that Lampard + Beckham is purely helping him defend, but instead compresses his space and investigates it. This is what he is The key point of releasing Lampard and Beckham is that without him as the foundation, perhaps the hidden offensive point from back to front lacks support and there is no way to talk about it.


    Jenson drew up the tactical picture, gave Aldridge a glance, Aldridge looked at and nodded, and then said to Jenson: "Avoid me from being shot by the camera and causing trouble, just find a player to drink water and take this The piece of paper was handed over and named to Bart."


    Jenson nodded, ripped the paper from the notepad, folded it several times, and turned it to be the size of a fingernail. He got up and walked in front of Joe Cole, and said to him: "Go to the sidelines to warm up, take With this, find an opportunity to give Gary and let him pass to Nikki."


    Joe Cole''s expression turned into an unexpected realization.


    Let''s just say, the game has only been played for 20 minutes. England and Greece are equally divided, and no players are injured. How can I let me warm up.


    It turned out that it was me who sent the letter!


    This year, when the courier must cover.


    Joe Cole thought it was funny. He put on the training shirt and carried the folded paper from Jensen. He ran slowly to the side of the court, which was quite noticeable at first.


    "Eh? Only half way through the first half, England has players warming up on the sidelines! England has been slow to score goals, and in this life-and-death battle, Hall seems unable to sit still!"


    Joe Cole warmed up for three minutes, he was very depressed, Neville was very active on the field, either contracting the central defense or bravely assisting, until after 3 minutes, Greece suddenly shifted the attack and tried to beat England with a surprise, but unfortunately Weir didn''t let them succeed, freezing the opponent on the wing and making the opponent take the ball out of bounds.


    Joe Cole enthusiastically went to pick up the ball, Neville came out of the court and reached for Joe Cole to ask for the ball, but Joe Cole did not have the first time to throw the ball to him, Neville was furious and scolded: "Quick Give me the ball and waste our chance of fast break, you are making trouble!"


    Joe Cole said: Brother, really give you the ball, you run after the ball is served, that is trouble!


    He ran to Neville holding the ball and gave it to the opponent before shouting: "This is what the boss asked me to hand over to you. You return to the field and give it to Niki. This is the command of the boss, I didn''t make trouble! "


    Neville took the ball from Joe Cole, glanced at the folded paper in his hand, then turned his head to look over the coach seat, but saw Aldridge nodded slightly at him. Neville understood that, without saying anything, he served the sideline first.


    The fast break was unsuccessful, but it also allowed the Greeks to withdraw the defense line. Neville quickly ran to Bart, gave the note to the other side, and then ran back to his place, running and shouting: " The coach asked me to give it to you."


    Bart looked up first and looked at the situation in the frontcourt. Scholes passed the ball to McManaman. The latter broke the bottom beautifully on the left side, but Owen took a point in the middle, so McManaman put it first. Slow speed, waiting for players on the court to respond.


    Bart took advantage of this opportunity to open the note, only slap big, with a simple array of placeholders drawn on it, and a solid line to indicate offense and defense. At the English tactical meeting, everyone understood that this is the usual practice of Aldridge.


    The position of the formation is no problem, 4321, but Bart¡¯s midfield defensive midfielder position area is very large. A rectangle almost covers the entire line from the back line to the midline. More strangely, Beckham, Lampard, and inner Weir, Cole, and the position arrows of the four people are all solid shoulders forward, representing offense.


    crazy?


    Two full-backs, all assists from the side and back?


    wrong!


    Bart has a closer look. The arrow in his position has three directions. The left and right sides are all dashed lines, representing defense.


    Combined with the situation on the field and the marked area on the note, Bart finally understood what the note was reminding him.


    At first, he misunderstood Aldrich''s request.


    Big mistake.


    He thought he was defending from the midfield and the protection of the key area was vertical, that is, the withdrawal of the restricted area, and once the defense area of ??Lampard and Beckham was tight, he should assist.


    assist?


    No, this note has completely made him understand that he should not be the role of facilitator, and the defense there is his own!


    England''s 4321 is just a illusion of confusing the opponent. In the attack, it can be said to be 41212 or 4231.


    The key point is that Bart''s position is a single midfielder!


    Lampard and Beckham, during the offense, one will rush forward to the midfield area, and the other will move forward slightly into the midfield, so as to maintain the level of attack and provide a point of contact.


    But Bart, guarding the entire lower back area, he provided protection for the other two false side backs!


    Don¡¯t really look at Lampard and Beckham as a midfielder!


    Bart had made such a mistake before, causing Lampard''s side to dare to step forward because of the defense zone when he was forced.


    This is also justifiable. Spain and Brazil are strong teams. The attack points of the strong teams are evenly distributed. The offense is opened, but Albania is a fish belly, which can not create much pressure. It is only a second-class European team such as Greece. In the offense, it is impossible to be too scattered like a strong team, otherwise the players will not be able to connect, and they can only concentrate on the local forces.


    Bart had previously thought that there was no problem with the defense, so he didn''t think much about it. Now he thinks that he has done a good job in his defensive work. That is only one aspect of restricting his opponent''s offense. He is completely unqualified in providing the team with an offensive guarantee.

 Chapter 592： Well done

    After understanding the note sent by the coach, Bart immediately woke up, observed the situation on the field and then performed his duties.


    In the 27th minute of the game, Greece once again attacked the side of Lampard. The wing player dribbled the ball on the right after being intercepted by Lampard and Ashley Cole.


    Lampard collaborated with Colmar to pass 2 passes to complete the turn forward. At this time, there is a large area in front of him, but the opponent''s forward and the wing players are active in the area behind him, concentrated on this side, before he did not assist Going up, he was afraid of going back and forth, this side was penetrated, but at this moment, he saw Bart actively moved some distance to his side.


    The stadium is very large, but the distance between the players may be just a few meters, which can create a completely new situation.


    Bart''s movement freed Lampard from worries and led the ball to the meteor attack.


    Bart observes the situation in the backcourt. Although the Greek players retreat backwards to defend, but once launched a counterattack, they must still be on the right. He must strengthen the lateral movement to expand the defense zone. The most important thing is the change in the starting position of the defense. .


    Bart''s sharp-eyed eyes hate to have to blink, observe the opponent''s position, and guard the key defensive position. Now, his position is not the center of the midfielder. He has already deviated to the left. This is the most effective after the possible counterattack against Greece. Adjustments made by threatening offense.


    Aldridge saw Bart''s movement on the sidelines and nodded slightly.


    Bart''s own ability is barely first-class. It can only be said to be barely good, but fortunately it is not a piece of decay. Even if he does not have a stable playing opportunity at Manchester United, it is now the best choice for the England national team.


    The frontal defense only puts him as a single midfielder. The defense must be uncomfortable. The correct statement is that Aldridge let Beckham and Lampard retreat from the position to compensate for the midfielder and protect the back line, but in the When attacking, Bart can''t count on the left and right sides to assist him. He must complete a single midfielder duty, no matter who Lampard and Beckham assists up, once they are counterattacked, especially the opponents fully spread out to use the venue Width of the offense, then one of the two must be back to fill up the back of the full-back assists.


    Aldridge observed Bart''s running route in a few minutes and nodded secretly: he has limited talent, but he can implement the tactical arrangement of the head coach.


    If it weren¡¯t for Bart who can only play Keane¡¯s bench at Manchester United, Aldridge doesn¡¯t really expect Hargreaves to grow up as soon as possible. After all, Bart is only 26 now!


    But his golden age was on the bench, and it was hard to expect further progress in the future.


    After Bart lived in this position and was able to provide back defense for the offense, England''s offensive suddenly came alive and entered the offensive rhythm they drilled in the second half of last year.


    Previously, Lampard and Ashley Cole were afraid and failed to step forward and assisted. After turning from attack to defense, Greece focused on Beckham and Neville. As for the three people in the backcourt , Scholes, McManaman, Owen, Greece have at least 5 defenders, really not afraid of them, in addition to a McManaman ball dribbling threat, the others are not afraid!


    The offensive and defensive situation on the field is changing bit by bit. As the two sides continue to switch from one attack to another, the advantage of England begins to show.


    Aldridge had his hands on his hips and his eyes were sharp.


    Greece, can''t keep up with the rhythm!


    Greece attacked England''s right defense again and again, and occasionally suddenly shifted to the left, but none of them could achieve the unexpected effect, because England''s left is not empty.


    On the contrary, after the offensive in England is active, the players are getting better, and the threat of cooperation is increasing every time.


    Ferdinand competed with the opponent''s striker to win the header, and calmly gave the ball to Beckham in front. After the header was successful, he also reached Beckham with an unmarked Neville on the right.


    This season, Ferdinand has made greater progress under O''Leary''s account. He is stronger than when he was at Millwall, because he is an unshakeable main force in Leeds United, and has been tempered by the European Championship, two The group stage of the stage played well. Now he is the main defender of England. Campbell, who is sitting on the bench, does not have the support of the outside world even if he complains.


    Now he is commendable on the court, especially in the position of central defender.


    Beckham couldn''t see the direction of Ferdinand''s finger. He didn''t need Ferdinand to show him the way. As the focus of being marked, Beckham knocked to Neville without stopping the ball and turned to Neville. The defender immediately moved to Neville. , The latter then passed the ball back to Beckham, 2 over 1, Beckham took the ball forward to attack.


    Just after halftime, there was a roadblock ahead, Beckham glanced at the stared Scholes in front of him, and decisively passed the left side in a wide range.


    This half-height ball is not fast. Ashley Cole came over and caught the ball and quickly took the ball forward.


    England reached the forty yards of the dangerous zone from the side of the opponent''s penalty area, and the Greek defense line alarm sounded.


    Ashley Cole took the ball to the outside and crossed the middle after encountering the defense. Scholes, who was previously marked, had already voluntarily come over to respond. He kicked the ball face-to-face and the ball rolled Forward, it fell to McManaman''s feet.


    Today, the most active man in England¡¯s frontcourt is McManaman. He is more energetic than others because he is no longer the first choice in Real Madrid. His physical fitness is no problem and his fighting spirit is strong.


    After a half-turn to face the Greek defender, McManaman didn''t have much time. If he hesitated, the opponent will inevitably close the restricted area. Scholes moved diagonally to the other side to attract the defensive player.


    McManaman is in excellent condition today, and it is difficult to break the football under his feet. This time, he sideways the goal and first dialed the ball inside. The defender in front moved to the middle and the center of gravity moved, McManaman Quickly dunk the ball to the penalty area and start an outbreak to break through!


    He wiped from the opponent''s central defender and entered the penalty area!


    Opportunity to face the goal at an angle of 45 degrees!


    McManaman''s expression is extremely determined, which is in sharp contrast to his light-handed ball control.


    I don¡¯t know when he will start looking forward to the FIFA match day soon.


    why?


    Is it intolerable to sit on the bench of Real Madrid?


    Or is it hoped to be redeemed because of Hodle and Keegan''s continuous neglect? Reproduce your heroic appearance in the European Cup five years ago?


    do not know.


    He only knows that the national team has his place!


    The man who hadn''t exchanged a word with each other when he first met but seemed to be enemies across the sky, is now his coach named Audrey Hall.


    In the 95/96 season, Millwall first entered the Premier League, Liverpool''s prestige is still famous, Anfield battle, the mad lion stepped on the Red Army, which was famous in Europe. In the FA Cup final, the mad lion nailed the Red Army to the post of shame, McManner The Liverpool spicy brother headed by Mann and Fowler is notorious!


    Over time, McManaman never thought that one day he would play under Aldridge. Even when Aldridge took over the national team, he had the idea of ??announcing his withdrawal from the national team.


    Anyway, that man absolutely doesn''t like himself!


    absolute!


    After all, from being recruited into the new national team to three days after training, McManaman moved from the heart.


    What do players need most?


    The first is trust.


    The second is for his role.


    In both cases, Aldridge gave him!


    McManaman remembers his shock six months ago.


    The man who once criticized the spicy buddies mercilessly said that to him.


    "Steve, you are the player with the best ball control and dribbling ability among the members of this national team. You will be an important part of my tactical design. If you play well, we will win the game very easily, you play No, we won very slim, I hope you can play an important role in the national team!"


    Aldrich said this to McManaman when he first talked to the national team players one by one, there is no one-word hypocrisy!


    On the technical characteristics, the English national team cannot find a player with a better dribbling ability and better ball control ability than McManaman. From a tactical perspective, such a player with excellent dribbling ability can use his personal ability in part. Providing change, a sharp breakthrough may create an excellent goal opportunity, which is far more intuitive than complicated teamwork.


    McManaman was deeply touched, and Aldridge¡¯s trust made it difficult for him to suppress his determination to serve results!


    Moreover, from the field position and role arrangement, McManaman''s own favorite.


    Hell, in Real Madrid, he is almost used as an engineer!


    No way, in Real Madrid, more and more big-name stars have to control the ball, he can''t be ranked, he can''t even guarantee the starting position, and more must take on the defensive task!


    Perhaps the Premier League now predicts that the names of the best shooters are just a few each summer, Henry, Larson, York, Ibrahimovic... And the assist list seems to have no suspense, Manchester United golden wings and Ronaldinho.


    But just a year and a half ago, when McManaman left the Premier League, he was on the assist list with Giggs. Every season, McManaman, Giggs, Beckham are the assist list. There are three leading names, and when he left, the Premier League ranked second in total assists. After ranking Giggs, if the average assist efficiency per game, he ranked first! Only now has Beckham surpassed, but still ranked second!


    He is definitely a player who uses his brain to play football. How to talk about it outside the court will not be mentioned for a while, but on the court, the style of playing is based on the overall situation and the type of player who contributes to the team. His club achievements should be limitless.


    McManaman, who got a half-single shot, took another step forward, opened the distance to the opponent''s defender, and then crossed the middle lightly. Owen grabbed a shot before the opponent''s defender and the ball penetrated into the goal from the close corner. Among.


    "England scored! McManaman''s beautiful breakthrough, this ball was his assist to Owen, Owen''s clever shot broke Greece''s gate! Liverpool will join Liverpool''s shining number one star this season to help England occupy Opportunity!"


    After Irving scored a goal, he smiled and ran to celebrate. McManaman stepped back to the side of the court and also smiled.


    At this moment, he suddenly looked to the side of the court, and in the distance saw Aldridge waving his arms slightly to celebrate the goal. He raised his right arm and gave a thumbs-up.


    Never in the mood to come to the national team to play for free, make him happy, make him satisfied, make him proud, make him do not want to return to the club!


    He made a move that Ronaldinho often did in Millwall, often after Ronaldinho assisted or scored, he would show his thumbs to the sidelines as if he was telling Audridge: I am, rest assured!


    Aldridge saw McManaman''s gesture and smiled, raised his right hand and responded with a thumb.


    Nice job, Steve!

 Chapter 593： Dump all beings

    England''s goal is like a cold lake of cold water falling from the sky, destroying the enthusiasm of all Greeks in the Athens stadium!


    In this country of democratic origin, the Greeks who care about the football of the national team smell the breath of death.


    The atmosphere of the entire stadium became depressing, and even the English fans who came to support the Three Lions away from afar could not reverse it. They jumped and cheered in the stands to celebrate the team''s goal.


    Yes, 8 games in the World Preliminaries, this is only the fourth game, but if Greece loses again in this game, they only have 1 point, they want to win the next four games and finally score 13 points to fight a playoff. Chance is not impossible in probability, but will Finland, Germany, England give them such an opportunity?


    This is the first decisive battle for Greece to enter the World Cup. It won, and there is a future to look forward to, lose, bye.


    After Audric celebrated the goal, he gave the players a gesture to signal that they should not relax. Next, Greece will definitely face a fight.


    Unlike sending a small note to Bart to remind him, Aldrich could not just say a roar on the sidelines or use body language to achieve the purpose of reminding Bart, but the gesture that the whole team can understand, he can make it with confidence, without Worried that the players cannot understand.


    Around four thousand English fans in the stands smiled and talked about the goal just now.


    "Mccar''s breakthrough is really beautiful, the opponent''s defender seems to be in a spell and is set there."


    "Alas, if he doesn''t leave Liverpool and now works with Irving''s partner, Liverpool might be able to compete for the Premier League title."


    "Liverpool? Don''t think about it. Looking at the lineup configuration of Manchester United and Millwall, Liverpool are at least one grade apart."


    "Hey, Liverpool? Is it just the gap in player strength? Think about it, Millwall has Hall, this is the biggest gap! See, Hall has only been in office for half a year, how good England has been, and the defense is not only unhurried, The offense was also decisive. McCain was only rejuvenated under Hall, and Hoddle and Keegan could not use him well."


    "Unfortunately, it would be nice if Hall took over the national team a year ago, and we will not be shamefully out of the group in the European Cup.


    "Don''t complain, it has nothing to do with Hall, but he is the owner of Millwall, saying that he will take over when he takes over the national team? I am afraid the FA did not agree to it a year ago."


    "Huh, there are a group of borers in the FA..."


    In a tie, both sides have psychological concerns. After all, failure is unbearably heavy, but now the side that has been scored has no escape route. Greece, if it does not fight dead, can only wait for death. The dream of advancing to the World Cup is the same. In the past few World Cups, it can only be used as an audience!


    At the beginning of Aldridge''s uneasy heart, he finally calmed down.


    Not only because the score is leading, the score is only 1:0, which is still 2 away from the win. In the football circle, it is not uncommon for a match to be equalized by two goals. It is not uncommon for a match to be equalized or reversed to lead by three goals Therefore, it is often the gap of three goals instead of two goals. Of course, this is also related to the time period. If there are 10 minutes left in the game, the difference between the two goals can also lock the victory.


    The biggest reason for Aldridge¡¯s victory is: the situation!


    Greece had to attack, if not attacked, it would die!


    But for England''s current set of technical and tactical play, it is in the middle of the arms, the opponents dare to attack, only to expose more life!


    Confident Aldridge stands on the sidelines, from time to time to give the backcourt players a shot or point forward direction, he looks at the overall situation, naturally insight into the situation faster than the players on the field, know where is free, and where is the most suitable for front insertion manufacturing Threatening, but he must not be able to command every player, the point is that the side close to him in front of him, Beckham and Neville.


    This scene was captured by live footage, and the English commentators laughed.


    Manchester United and Millwall are inseparable in the Premier League. Now, Millwall''s coach is directing Manchester United players to attack the city.


    Is this a ridiculous scene, or will it be circulated as a piece of talk in the future?


    For the glory of England, do Manchester United and Millwall combine?


    The game is still long. Greece wants to counterattack but it will not be too fierce, and it is still not impatient.


    The first half of the match ended with a burst of exclamation in the Athens Stadium.


    Lampard shot a long shot from the outside of the penalty area and flew out the bottom line. He was too late to regret, the referee blew his whistle.


    The two teams walked back to the locker room and England led by one goal.


    Aldridge entered the locker room with a calm look, just as he said before his expedition: Win Greece, but you play normally.


    What''s more, the final result of the game has not yet come out, he cannot be happy, and the players should not be happy for the lead.


    He emphasized tactics again in the locker room without making adjustments, but let Bart and Beckham and Lampard understand the essence of the three-back system and clarify their responsibilities. They must be on the offense and Bart¡¯s coverage should also be expanded. When the team is attacking, provide protection and solve the worries of teammates.


    The national team is now thriving, the internal atmosphere is harmonious, the team is united, and they want to prove themselves with their record.


    No one wants to wear the national team''s jersey and then the dogs in the country are sprayed with blood.


    Perhaps not all players have very noble consciousness, but the sense of mission, responsibility, and wearing this jersey will be more or less there.


    When Aldridge spoke, everyone listened attentively, and many people nodded frequently to express their understanding.


    In the end, Aldridge said coldly and said: "I told you half a year ago, our current style of play is not afraid of the opponent''s attack. It can be said that because of the opponent''s attack, we have more opportunities. Remember, The advancement of positional battle control is not our strength. When the opponent sets a strict defense line, we do not have many means to break the goal. What we want to catch is the adjustment flaws in the opponent''s attack and defense conversion! , We will definitely win!"


    "Of course, we will definitely win!"


    Southgate stood up and threw a voice.


    "Guys, come on in the second half and score a few more goals!"


    Beckham also stood up and encouraged the team''s morale.


    In three and a half games, Aldridge has begun to instill confidence in them. The basis for the team to reach an ideological consensus is that they are convinced: We are on the right path!


    The football arena has changed a lot, and there are countless ways to win, but they all lead to the same goal. As long as they can win, it is correct.


    Back in the second half, Aldridge still looked serious.


    This game is very important, or because of the disadvantage brought by the two games of England World Preliminaries, the qualifiers led by Aldridge to play every match are extremely critical.


    England not only needs to qualify, but also strives to win the first place and advance directly to the finals. It is not that the play-offs are not possible, but that the play-offs are too dangerous. No matter which second place in the other group, it will be two unpredictable battles. Too big, whether to advance or not, can even affect a country¡¯s short-term economic trends. Especially for England, the historical economic losses caused by the absence of the 2008 European Cup are conservatively estimated to exceed 2 billion pounds. This is not a country. Team sponsors, direct economic losses such as FA contract losses, and the key to this is the normal mentality of British nationals "feeling good about themselves", which directly affects labor productivity.


    Therefore, Aldrich not only took over a national team with a weak military record, but the challenge before him was to climb up step by step and step on the opponents of the same group one by one!


    Greece is the first one. Today this is a life-and-death battle between the two teams. England must kick a competitor first. It sounds exaggerated. Now Greece is also worthy of being an English competitor? That''s right, the situation in the standings is the same. England is third and Greece is fourth. The two teams are only 3 points apart.


    "As soon as the second half came up, Greece launched a fast break, and their players'' enthusiasm was significantly improved. It seems that Greece has come to a desperate time! The English defense is very level, Southgate stepped forward to intercept and was beaten, Ash Lee Cole succeeded in making up the ball and scored a good goal! Greece returned without success."


    The Greek players seem to have become fierce beasts. Not only did they run on the field at the same time, but they also used both hands and feet in defense. From the backcourt of England, they used tactical fouls to restrict them from launching fast breaks.


    Aldrich watched a wave of suppression in Greece unmoved. This scene is very familiar. Not long ago, in the Champions League, AC Milan also did this after falling behind a goal at the Lion King Stadium. In general, Millwall eventually became an animal trainer, resisting the counterattack after success, the opponent is difficult to parry.


    This wave of grappling attacks in Greece lasted about 6-7 minutes, and then, in the need for breathing space, England began to burst into majesty.


    Greece¡¯s offense can only hover outside England¡¯s penalty area, and then patience will be forced to lose the ball. The penetration ball cannot be accurately sent to the striker¡¯s foot, and England¡¯s attack advances from the midfield and backcourt. Every time, it can play a very intuitive Threat.


    McManaman suddenly left Greece undefeated. Scholes made a series of offenses without any lag. Irving''s running position on the front line involved seeking opportunities and also made the opponent''s back line dare not be a little negligent. These, Greece can only pass the number of defenders To make up for the weakness of one-on-one defensive ability.


    England played three consecutive offenses and failed to break the goal. Aldridge gave McManaman a gesture and told the opponent to use the depth to bring the opponent''s back line to the bottom line!


    McManaman was pleased to take the lead. After dribbling the ball on the wing, he got the bottom of his heart, and the Greek back line could only follow the back to guard the key area.


    In this way, Greece counterattacks forward, the offensive line should be pulled back deeper, and the distance of further advancement also becomes longer. The most important thing is that they attack and return to defense, and the distance from one to the other will be virtually lengthened.


    After another six minutes, Greece apparently failed to keep up with the speed of defense after an offensive setback. The front line was extended too long, and the midfield exposed a lot of space.


    McManaman took the ball to the bottom, took the opponent''s back line to the goal, and then stopped the ball near the bottom line to pass back. Ashley Cole, who followed up, passed the ball without stopping. Aside.


    Beckham, who was unmarked, inserted a stop ball and adjusted his pace. It looked more like he was penalizing a free kick. No one was blocking the front. The opponent''s defender was like a lined up wall, and he left crossed A week of trajectory, the body tilted, gold right foot force shot!


    The ball flies into the air without any sense of lightness. With a rapid rotation, it draws a wonderful arc in the air, which has both the pleasingness brought by the arc and the visual impact produced by the speed.


    The Greek goalkeeper did not move.


    He has the same idea as most people.


    This ball will go out of bounds!


    It is true that the trajectory of the ball flying halfway is absolutely out of bounds!


    However, under the guidance of the rapidly rotating arc, the ball is a trajectory of a banana arc, as if being manipulated, flying from the outer line to the goal.


    Ding!


    A small portion of the ball rubbed inside the goal post and bounced into the goal.


    Dead end.


    The goalkeeper was powerless.


    When you encounter such a ball, you can only admit that you are unlucky!


    The Athens stadium was silent.


    Beckham''s mouth was raised, and his charming smile was like his just completed goal, dumping sentient beings!

 Chapter 594： Sharpen sword

    "What a wonderful goal! David Beckham scored a long shot! This is definitely another classic goal of his career! The perfect combination of arc and speed, from the moment of shooting, the goalkeeper was first defeated, the goalkeeper Judgment is wrong, he and our mortal thought, this ball must have kicked, but Beckham has the magic to let the football make a circle and finally fly to the goal! Beckham this goal helped England lead by two goals, England One step closer to getting a precious 3 points!"


    The red card of the 98 World Cup and the clash with fans when they defeated the European Cup in 2000. Beckham was still on the cusp of not escaping the accusations of England fans before Aldridge took over the national team.


    But after Aldridge took office, the focus was shifted. At the same time, the England national team had a new look. As Beckham, as the team¡¯s deputy captain, with this wave of national team popularity rising, the contradiction between him and the fans began to weaken, and now there is progress. The English fans on the court cheered for him, and the fans were thrilled to celebrate, and they came to the sidelines and opened their arms to become a lot of attention.


    Aldridge bowed his head on the sidelines and waved in front of him, his mind completely settled.


    Two goals behind, the Greek team''s momentum will be suppressed to the bottom, even if they continue to fight back, they may lose their minds.


    After all, Greece is not a mythical teacher who has been disciplined by Rehagel and has a strict tactical discipline that can be blacked out in the European Cup!


    England''s commentators are full of praise for the performance of the national team today.


    "Now England has brought out its strengths under Hall''s training, McCarthy''s ability to attack, driving Irving''s ability to end, Scholes'' organization in the frontcourt and the threat of breaking the goal in the back, and in the periphery. Lampard, Beckham''s long-range threat! This is still a growing team, and we look forward to how England will perform when the World Cup arrives."


    The superiority of the English people feel good about themselves and they can''t help but show it. The World Cup qualifiers are not finished yet. They are thinking about the World Cup. It seems to them that in their eyes, now England does not have to worry about qualifying.


    Aldridge just breathed a sigh of relief.


    Greece completely removed all psychological burdens. Every player was crazy like a demon, and the formation was so chaotic that people couldn¡¯t reasonably analyze it. The fighting movement reached the critical point inside and outside the rules. In other words, their foul, the referee It doesn''t matter whether the card is played or not!


    Robbing like crazy, the devil is attacking like crazy!


    Not playing cards according to common sense at all.


    Messy, the Greek head coach waved his arms to get the players to attack, attack, attack!


    As for how to attack, he may not know.


    Relying on a blood of blood, an unyielding fighting spirit.


    Anyway, Aldridge could not see the tactical routines of Greece, that is, a swarm of bees pressed up to create chaos. The tactical routines that should have done their own duties became irregular and unclear.


    This **** just wanted to kill the master by chaotic punches!


    The Greek fans in the stands saw the spirit of the players on the court not giving up, and moved from the heart. The unparalleled cheering broke out in the Athens stadium, and it was shocking!


    It seems that the gods in Greek mythology are watching the battle above the stadium! Impressive!


    Aldridge was horrified on the sidelines and was shocked by the aura suddenly reversed by the stadium.


    1:0 is not insured, and it is well known in the world.


    2:0 is the real danger!


    Even Aldridge had previously relaxed psychologically and felt that the game should be able to be won smoothly. What about the players on the field?


    Most of them also think that they completely defeated Greece, as long as they are not taken lightly by themselves, then, 3 points!


    However, here is after all Greece, Athens, where the myth was born. The Greeks did not succumb, and with the cheering of the fans in the stands, the roaring voices of these people were like a stormy wave hitting everyone''s mind.


    The Greek players on the field, as if they were transformed into thousands of years ago, when they fought against the pressure of the Persian army ten times stronger than themselves, the fierce and fearless warriors rushed into the air!


    At that time, the alliance between Greece and the Spartan Warriors relied on the round shield phalanx debuted by Qing Shi, who defeated the Persian army of aggression as a whole.


    Now, as if crossing the millennium, the Greek players seem to be advancing as a whole, but it is more like the impact of the group and the offensive effect.


    The most important thing is to achieve the effect that caught England by surprise!


    "Greek continuous attack! Shot! Seaman blocked the ball, Greece made another shot and hit the bottom line on Ferdinand, corner kick!"


    Greece won the corner kick. In the cheering of tens of thousands of compatriots, they took a corner that was not too high quality. The corner was at the front point. Some Greek players grabbed the front point and flicked the ball to the goal. In the direction, after a header relay, there was a missed corner defense at the front of England. A Greek player jumped high and smashed his head next to Lampard. The ball went straight to the goal. Seaman subconsciously saved and returned without success.


    The ball flew into the goal and rolled off the turf from the net.


    The Greek player picked up the ball and ran to the backcourt.


    The grandstand of the Athens Stadium is completely boiling, the cheers are like thunder, like the praise of the gods!


    "Greece did not give up! No give up! They pulled back a goal through unremitting efforts and scored the goal through a corner kick. 1:2, there are 25 minutes left in the game. They have every chance, as long as they do not give up, the final result of this game Still full of suspense!"


    Seeing Greece score, Aldridge sighed softly.


    The worst happened.


    Greece''s momentum is soaring, if you insist on not scoring for another two or three minutes, this momentum will naturally drain because the game has reached the critical point of the player''s physical fitness. At this time, players need spiritual support. If there is no goal, most players in Greece May be accompanied by a decline in physical fitness and affect the fighting spirit, but when the goal is scored, the effect is quite the opposite!


    It is difficult to criticize the problem of corner kick defense in England. Without a team''s positioning ball defense, it will never lose the ball. This link has always been filled with uncertainties. First of all, his own defense is passive, which is to limit the opponent, and the opponent''s positioning ball attack will have Is it a routine? The change is full of variables in each player''s running position. Secondly, in the positioning arrangement of Aldridge''s positioning ball, the area is marked with a mark. Players with height, confrontation and header advantage guard the key area, and then there are other defensive players. Marking by judging is still a theory. In fact, opponents will not necessarily evenly distribute the offensive points, and the quality of the positioning kick is also the key point of influencing factors.


    The biggest variable for this lost ball is the first air relay. No one expected that the quality of the opponent''s corner kick was so poor. The landing point was at the front point outside the small penalty area. At that position, the teammates had little choice but to use extreme difficulty. With a high header ferry, Greece just made it.


    After losing the ball, the English players subconsciously looked to the sidelines for the first time, with the focus on Aldridge.


    They were really beaten up!


    The score is still leading, but Greece''s "violent" kicks have scored goals, shaking their hearts.


    Are we unable to prevent the other side from kicking?


    If the opponent can score by relying on a fighting spirit like that, why are we still playing with our brains?


    Perhaps Aldridge, when emphasizing tactical discipline, excessively instilled in them that they need to use their brains to play football and need them to be more flexible. This does indeed suppress the player''s own impulse.


    For example, Lampard and Beckham, in order to achieve an offensive and defensive balance, only one person can reach the front line, and when they come up in a game, they need to use the coach''s instructions to suppress, stay calm, and avoid destroying the tactics set by the coach. system.


    This situation is not normal, but it is more special for the England national team. Other top teams, Portugal¡¯s Figo, Rui Costa, France¡¯s Zidane, Brazil¡¯s Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, etc. Wait, these strong team players, they have a lot of freedom, they are excited, and playing "violent" is actually showing their unparalleled talent.


    But what about England players who are too excited? The technical weakness of the ball-controlling ability itself led to their over-excitement, which was nothing more than a mistake in the end, which in turn led to the opponent''s use of grabbing to fight back. Therefore, Aldridge must start from the tactical level, rather than relying on the player''s magic.


    With feet, world-class players can single out the back line, can England players do? Since it doesn''t work, use your brain!


    When the players on the court looked towards the sidelines, Aldridge knew that they were confused, struggling, and seeking a solution.


    Aldridge never expected that this game in Greece came into such a dangerous situation.


    If the game is eventually equalized or reversed with a 2-0 lead, the authority he established on the national team and the mutual trust between the coach and the players will disappear in no time!


    The funeral is not only a game, but also past efforts and the cornerstones of the future.


    Athens, the hometown of the gods, is digging a grave for Aldridge?


    It''s not just the player''s eyes looking at Aldridge for answers, the live broadcast lens is also aimed at him.


    Everyone can see that England''s away momentum is obviously not as good as that of Greece.


    Aldrich raised his chest indifferently, inserted the left hand in the pocket, and swung the right hand heavily from above, with one palm pressed down for a long time.


    stable!


    To put it bluntly, now retreating, England''s momentum will be completely suppressed by Greece, there is no possibility of improvement, whether it can be kept, it will be a big question.


    If it is an offensive, it may increase the risk of losing the ball in the case of a surge in Greece.


    Further, taking a step back is not a good choice.


    Now, the best option is to stabilize!


    Without chaos, this is the strong wind!


    England players on the field saw Aldridge standing on the sidelines without panic. The right hand in the down position seemed to contain a magic power, which stabilized their mentality quickly, eliminated all confusion, and implemented the tactical arrangement of the head coach.


    When the team re-kicked off, Aldridge''s vision rose slightly, and he shot into the night sky of Athens.


    Thanks Greece!


    Bao Jianfeng came out from the sharpening, even though the friendly match has beaten Spain and Brazil, but the friendly match is in the nature of training, and the main game is the abuse of Albania. Now it is a second-class team with a little strength, Greece. It can be described as the courage of ordinary people, but it is this courage that can hone the England national team.


    Withstand the pressure, calm down, respond calmly, and win, will promote the cohesion of the national team, and even make the team''s temperament sublime.


    Even if they can''t achieve the effect of becoming a hero in the first battle, at least, they can let them experience a mental wash from the inside out.


    If it fails, it will be equalized after being reversed and Aldridge will resign immediately.


    Football is a team game after all, not just 11 players on the field, but also the head coach. Aldridge can do everything he has. He is conscientious and gives everything he can bring to this team. , But the team itself can not pass its own level, unable to grow up in the experience, Aldridge is also reluctant to mistake people.

 Chapter 595： Out

    England reopened the ball, the players played a little cautiously, fearing that the opponent would steal the ball, which is also understandable, just lost the ball, want to avoid being attacked by Greece, as far as possible, so that the opponent can not get the ball, can not organize the attack, kill the spirit!


    Aldridge felt a little calm after seeing that the team did not lose his mind, but also attacked the opponent or "naturally" returned to the traditional English style.


    He couldn''t tell what kind of play Greece was.


    The head coach of Greece can''t see it.


    Mess!


    But under the big frame, looking at the overall situation, Audridge still has a countermeasure. Breaking the situation is not difficult.


    The key depends on the mentality of the players on the court. If the mentality is impatient, caught in the struggle with the opponent, and the attention is distracted, then he falls down and is led by the opponent.


    Aldridge raised his hand and pointed at McManaman. When the other party looked at him, Aldridge reached out to the opponent''s penalty area. The meaning was obvious, and McManaman understood it.


    As for the Greek players and the Greek coaches, their eyes will definitely not look at Aldridge, so Aldridge did not notice the "obtrusive" command and dispatch.


    The Greek Jedi counterattack actually turned into a high-pressure snatch, and then the attack surged!


    Scholes also withdrew from the position to participate in the defense. England''s eight-man two-line defense did not give Greece the chaos to get an excellent shot without panic.


    In the 80th minute, Bart and Ferdinand successively forcibly broke the ball under the opponent''s striker. After Bart broke the ball, he passed directly to Beckham about four meters in front of him.


    Beckham observed the situation in the frontcourt while running forward and catching the ball. While catching up with the ball, in front of him and in front of the left, two Greek players rushed over like a wolf.


    Beckham did not stop the ball, did not get rid of, directly kicked the ball to the court with a long pass.


    The Greek back line is relatively high, and it must be like this, otherwise, they will surge when attacking, and the midfield from the attack to the defensive midfield is too big.


    The player behind the last guard is Owen.


    The chasing boy started when Beckham started his long pass to the field, but he could not get rid of the harassment of the opponent''s central defender. The other party stuck Owen''s forward route and forced Owen to start an outbreak with physical contact and could not reach the highest point.


    Irving, I can''t grab this opportunity!


    However, the ball flying over the midfielder passed an obvious arc, from right to left, and the landing point was near the line of the big penalty area.


    Irving had no chance, the Greek defender turned around, but found that a red figure seemed to be off the wild horse and had thrown off the entire back line with a full distance of 5 meters, rushing towards the ball landing point.


    Elegant blonde hair, a weak body, and a graceful Sven''s face, that McManaman, who is like a scholar, rides the dust!


    Beckham''s eyes flashed with excitement and anticipation. Like all England teammates who did not support the offensive in the backcourt, his heart was roaring: Steve, it''s up to you!


    McManaman rushed to the ball landing point, just the ball fell, skillfully and steadily stopped the ball one meter in front of him, and turned inward!


    The Greek goalkeeper abandoned the door and the Greek fans in the stands were afraid to watch it anymore. Many people clenched their fists in their chests and prayed to the gods for their blessing!


    McManaman took the ball inward, obviously to increase the shooting angle, the goalkeeper rushed forward in the direction of the middle, but just when the goalkeeper was about one meter away from McManaman, McManaman suddenly smashed the ball again. Walking outside, the goalkeeper reached down to reach for the ball, and at the end was the footprint left by McManaman''s footsteps.


    McManaman shook the goalkeeper!


    The goal was unguarded and McManaman pushed gently with his left foot to make sure he never missed it.


    When the ball crosses the goal line and rolls into the goal, the Greeks on the stands of the Athens Stadium and the Greek players on the field move almost the same.


    He closed his eyes in despair.


    The English fans shouted in the stands with thunderous cheers, breaking through the clouds, as if breaking through the shrouds of the Greek gods, turning the clouds to the moon, the dawn of victory came!


    McManaman jogged to the sidelines and made a celebratory gesture of blowing kisses in the direction of the stands of the English fans.


    "England locks the victory! Beckham''s backcourt oblique long pass, bypassing the opposing midfielder and defender, McManaman slammed into the penalty area from the left, calmly dribbling past the goalkeeper and pushing the empty goal to expand the lead again. Two goals, 3:1, England refused to be overturned by Greece!"


    Like the Greeks, Aldridge closed his eyes after seeing the goal, but showed a slightly greasy smile, his arms kept swinging.


    This ball was not only able to reverse the situation of the game again, but also gave Aldridge a stimulant for the national team.


    These players can count on it!


    With the support of the Greek fans and the Greek players'' bravery and bravery, they were able to withstand the pressure without losing their square. This was a good exercise and an important experience for the team''s strength.


    Aldridge looked back into the night sky again, his eyes firmly determined.


    Greece, won!


    The first competitor, kick out!


    With 10 minutes left in the game, is there no chance for Greece?


    Gone!


    Aldridge still has confidence in this.


    From the change in the game situation, the fighting spirit of the Greek players was suppressed by the third goal drop.


    Complete the reversal?


    How many Greek players will believe this unwaveringly?


    If a tie is lost, both sides will be injured. Greece must take all 3 points to retain the hope of promotion and hold England to die together? Sorry, in the event of a draw, England still lead them by 3 points, which will indeed make England''s situation worse, but the possibility of their own entry into the World Cup is still too slim to be able to help!


    Therefore, the team''s thinking has been unable to be unified, and the impact of the decline in physical fitness will also be revealed.


    Be sensible, they also don''t know how to prevent England''s offensive.


    After Beckham''s just unreasonable long pass just now, they retreated the line after re-kick-off, resolutely no longer giving England any chance to hit the ball.


    But their midfield and frontcourt, as always, oppressively attack upwards, trying to use human tactics to create impact or chaos to find goals.


    As a result, the midfield became larger and Scholes became a nightmare in Greece.


    After another wave of offensive return in Greece, Scholes and Lampard continued to play 2 over 1 to move forward, the frontcourt space was too large, before reaching the penalty area, Scholes and McManner Man finished 2 over 1, and then Scholes entered the penalty area. McManaman''s pass came as scheduled. Ginger broke through and scored 4:1.


    "Fantastic cooperation! England scored an incredible team-coordinated goal. Scholes, Lampard, McManaman, three people hit the ball and hit the wall in a row, and Scholes was in the penalty area. The score from inside broke the game!"


    Scholes''s goal made the game crazy at the end of the game. The English players came to the party on the field and celebrated in this mythical place.


    Aldridge had already sat down, he didn''t feel much about this goal.


    Does England play well together?


    Can''t see, what difficulty did Lampard and Scholes have for 2 consecutive 1 without defensive pressure in the frontcourt? Similar to training, the excessive counterattack in the frontcourt in Greece directly led to the empty defense in the backcourt, and made mistakes in defense. Those who should not take the initiative to grab, one grab, was broken, the number of defenders decreased, little by little Towards extinction.


    The game is not over, the Greek team has reached the brink of collapse.


    Dreams are broken in the World Cup!


    Only 1 point in four rounds, there are two traditional strong teams in Germany and England in the same group, there is no hope!


    The day after the draw from the group, no one was optimistic that Greece could break through from this group, but the miracle of the dark horse is not impossible.


    After playing against England today, the 90-minute game is almost over, and Greek players have discovered a terrible fact.


    attack?


    Don''t dare to attack!


    As long as you attack, all the loopholes behind you!


    There is no way to prevent England''s long and short fast break!


    It is very difficult for them to advance point-to-point only by the striker. Mo said that what the striker can do in front of the English defense, the midfield must be pressed to support.


    However, once the midfield was pushed up, the offensive failed and turned around. England could be in the city within a short period of time. These attacked players will certainly not be able to return to their original position of defense.


    This is the essence of England''s technical and tactical set. The starting position of the three midfielder is not only to strengthen the defense, but also to change forward when countering.


    The most important thing is to catch the time difference of the opponent''s offense and defense conversion adjustment.


    You can''t arrange the defense line for the first time, with the most correct defensive strategy, my attack will destroy you from point to face!


    After Greece kicked off again, the attack was very simple. The striker ran up, the midfielder passed the ball up, and then the midfielder did not dare to boldly forward. Everyone was afraid that they would be caught by England because of their fatal flaws. live.


    In the last few minutes of the game, neither team was able to make a threatening offense.


    England is closed when it sees good, 4:1, just waiting to celebrate the victory.


    Greece is somewhat afraid, if 4:1 becomes 5:1, this will change from being a big victory to being washed by blood, and the meaning of a fiasco is quite different.


    When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the English players on the field breathed out a long breath and smiled in agreement. Everyone hugged, high-five, a victory, inspired their morale, increased their confidence, and let them Looking forward to the future.


    In particular, they were even more convinced by Aldridge. At 2:1, Aldridge seemed to instill in them an invisible force on the sidelines, making them persevere to play according to the established combat plan. Eventually, they won A big win.


    Aldridge shook hands with Klinsmann, Jenson and others, and England kicked a competitor. The results of the work are obvious to all, but the road ahead is still very long, and the hard battle has not been fought yet.


    Aldrich walked into the player channel and did not shake hands with the head coach of the Greek national team. Shaking hands after the game was not a hard requirement.


    The "coach killer" in the British game field could not have imagined that Greece defeated England at home, and the promotion to the World Cup became a mirror month. After the game, the Greek Football Association announced that the head coach was out of class. Gore took office and had plenty of time to transform the team to prepare for the European Cup qualifiers after the World Cup next year.


    This incident was linked to Aldridge by Fleet Street, a good thing, and ridiculed that Aldridge killer was famous, not only in the Premier League''s killing, but now a rookie of the national team was added to the roster of head coaches!


    Aldrich cares more about Rehagel¡¯s leadership of the Greek national team coach, who made him admired from the heart.


    Unlike other successful coaches, they all have their own distinctive styles, and their technical and tactical play may be crowned for a while.


    But Rehagel won the glory in Kaiserslautern with an aggressive and aggressive style, and in Greece, he used the opposite conservative philosophy to protect the gods. This is both alternative and others need to look up. Therefore, Austria Derich is looking forward to learning from Rehagel the next time he meets with Greece.

 Chapter 596： "Killer"

    The night after the game with Greece, England flew back to London. The FIFA game day was not over. After 6 days, they had to rush away to challenge Albania.


    Aldridge gave the national team one day of vacation, then three days of training, and two days of flying away to play.


    It was already early in the morning to return to London. The team was temporarily disbanded. Aldridge returned home. Both Ewen and the child had fallen asleep, and he was exhausted himself. He almost fell asleep in the bathtub.


    The next morning, Aldridge did not wake up naturally. He felt that someone was stuffing his mouth and was confused, thinking he was dreaming.


    Opening his eyes until his teeth were uncomfortably rubbed, Earl took his bottle and pointed his pacifier towards Aldridge''s mouth, and squeezed it in. He seemed to want to feed Aldridge for breakfast!


    Burt stood idly by.


    Aldridge sat up, "Aha" smiled and yelled, and then took the two sons to his legs one by one, laughing and scratching their tickles.


    Burt was about to run away when he twisted, and Aldridge grabbed it, and Earl twisted his body with a silver bell-like laugh.


    Aldrich was relieved that his two sons were not only healthy, but also showed no signs of stunting, both physically and mentally. On the contrary, the faintness was much higher than normal.


    The upright posture of walking is very stable, and the speech is clear, and will not be dazed when asked questions by adults, but can give a clear answer after thinking.


    Aldridge got up and went to the bathroom, and the two little guys followed. It is estimated that they didn¡¯t want to play the game today, but wanted to follow Aldridge.


    While Aldridge was brushing his teeth, Burt and Earl raised their arms and asked him for a toothbrush, as if he wanted to brush his teeth.


    "You haven''t even got your teeth together. You have to brush your teeth. It will be another six months."


    Aldridge replied with a vague smile. He continued to brush his teeth. His two sons stood by his legs, imitating Aldrich''s movements in places where he could not see, and pretended to be brushing his teeth.


    Aldridge stooped down to wash his face, and Burt and Earl fiddled with their hands in front of their faces.


    Aldrich combed his hair, and the two little guys turned to face each other, using their hands instead of the comb to help each other sort their hair.


    When Aldridge returned to the bedroom to change clothes, he discovered that the two little guys were a little abnormal today.


    It is estimated that there is nothing more to play, and they are not interested in the games of the family. Today, they just played the imitation show.


    What dad does, they just do!


    Even when Aldridge changed into casual clothes, the two of them pulled on Aldridge''s pants and had to wear similar clothes.


    As a last resort, Aldridge went to their bedroom, rummaged through the closet, and finally found similar children''s clothing for them.


    When she came downstairs, she just came out to go shopping. When she entered the door, she was weird. She saw that Burt and Earl were wearing white casual clothes. They were surprised. what."


    Or did she personally dress the two little guys in the morning?


    Aldridge shook his head and smiled.


    "Brady and his wife came over for dinner at night. Are you okay at night?"


    "It''s okay, I will stay at home."


    Yiwen walked into the kitchen and put the purchased ingredients, Aldridge came in, took some food from the refrigerator, poured a glass of orange juice to the dining room, and Yiwen brought the morning newspaper from the living room and put it with a smile On the table in front of Aldridge.


    "Mr. Hall, the British media will boast about you!"


    Aldridge was drinking orange juice. Burt and Earl were sitting next to him. The two were holding a bottle. They seemed to have had it in the morning, but now they can¡¯t drink it anymore.


    Looking down at the newspaper, the front cover is the photographic work of Aldridge when he was directing in the game. It was his left hand that inserted the bag, and his right hand pressed down to stabilize the team.


    He wanted to read the newspaper. Burt and Earl also grabbed a copy and opened their eyes pretending to sweep around.


    Anyway, they can''t understand, they can''t read words at all, they can understand pictures at most.


    England 4:1 away victory, it is normal to be touted to heaven.


    As for what Aldridge wrote in the newspaper to make the English style magical and delicate, the team''s level has improved significantly, especially the great leap in transmission and control technology. Aldridge smiled and took it seriously.


    Some touted is based on facts, while others are completely nonsense.


    Like what the English national team''s ability to pass and control the Europeanization of kicking strength has improved, as if Aldridge has the magic to add ability to the player, this is just a fiction.


    England can''t afford to pass the ball.


    To say that if you can move forward with a few more passes when counterattacking, it is pass control. At best it is pass, distance control, and it is completely untouched.


    In fact, in the past, England got into a deadlock when attacking, the pass could not find the point, the pass error rate is relatively high, the first is the space problem, the second is the attack point is marked to death, Aldridge only solves this problem from tactics, Rather than let the players really become better at controlling the ball.


    If there is a safe space to catch the ball and can not hold the ball, the pass is not accurate, are they still professional players? Is it a national level player?


    After reading some battlefield reviews, Aldridge shook his head and sighed: "They are all uneasy and kind, and now they are holding me up to the sky. In fact, they have already prepared the manuscript. When I plant it, I will drop it down."


    Yi Wen smiled and said, "But you can''t do anything."


    "Yeah, I can''t do anything. In this position, it''s this life."


    Aldridge was very emotional. The outside world praised him. Did he still criticize it in response?


    He wanted to be calm, and the national team also needed to be calm, but how could Fleet Street, the European News Center, agree? People rely on this to support their families.


    Picking up the more reliable "Times", turned to the football section, Aldridge shined.


    Professional newspapers are different, with integrity and professional reviews.


    Regarding the performance of this game in England, especially the performance of players, the commentary of the football column of the Times is not heavy. The content of the article emphasizes not how the players created the victory, but the specific analysis of England''s technical and tactical skills.


    "Half took office six months ago, led England to play two official matches, two friendly matches, four victories, in addition to Albania, the other three games have clear tactical thinking, that is to catch counterattack! In the past, England faced For regional defense or mark-to-point defense against opponents, if you want to open the offense, you must rely on the player''s personal ability, but now, Hall has shown a new idea. Quick counterattack is an effective weapon to break through regional defense. Coles¡¯ back-insertion flexibility is the key to breaking the mark-to-man defense. The combination of the two has produced an incredible effect..."


    Aldridge read the analysis article seriously and said, "This article is about ideas."


    The article also compares Millwall''s offensive changes, how to break mark defense, regional defense.


    Breaking the area defense, relying on the sudden transfer of the ball by players such as Pirlo, piercing the defense line, breaking the mark-to-man defense, Millwall is a player who tacitly crosses the position, slams the strategy.


    In the event of change, it is impossible for England to copy Millwall¡¯s style of play, but the tactical goals are the same, even though the changes in the means are still monotonous, but it is better than nothing.


    At the end of the article, I did not forget to praise Aldridge. He believed that Aldridge¡¯s tactics were tailor-made, making the most of the resources in his hands, so as to give play to the strengths of the England national team.


    Aldrich had breakfast before, and Ewen had to prepare dinner at home. For hospitality, he could not entertain with thick tea and light rice, and it wasn¡¯t just for a meal. After the meal, refreshments and the like had to be prepared carefully. .


    "Be careful when you go out. Don''t leave your eyes on them!"


    Aldridge was about to go out and turn around, but Ewen dingled and dinged again, making him pay attention to the safety of Burt and Earl.


    The spring is bright, Aldrich walks out of the house holding two small hands, Burt and Earl, left and right, and meets the neighbors in the community. Both little guys will say hello to adults very politely, and Aldridge will Speak with these neighbors, everyone lives in the same community, and sometimes there are occasions such as community events and gatherings.


    The two little guys really made Aldridge cry and laugh. He stood at the intersection and waited and watched. The two little guys made the same movement. He greeted someone and raised his hand naturally. The two sons also raised their hands in concert. ...


    After a round in the nearby park, Aldridge came to the place where there was a slide swing and sat down on the bench. As a result, the two little guys were still unmoved. They were not touched by the slide and swing at all. Attracted by such amusement facilities, as old as Aldridge sits on the bench in an old-fashioned manner, he almost poses as a thinker.


    "I really convinced you!"


    Aldridge had no choice but to rejuvenate and become a child again, and he took the lead to play. He was like a child king. He slid down the slide with his head, sitting on one end of the seesaw, and the two sons sitting together on the other end. Aldridge sat down on the buttocks and they couldn''t hold down. The angry Burt kept kicking his legs and started to shock Aldridge. He was afraid that he might fall. They played together.


    Near noon, Aldridge began to walk home with his son with a high smile and a smile, and the phone in his pocket rang.


    Taking out the phone and glancing at the caller, Aldridge frowned suddenly.


    At this time, the person called and hoped that it would not cause any disturbance.


    Caller: AC Milan Club Manager Galliani.


    "Old friend, congratulations on your victory in Greece yesterday!"


    Galliani''s opening remarks were congratulations.


    Aldridge was a little afraid of the other, and he could only smile and huh.


    silence.


    After about 30 seconds.


    "Why didn''t you ask me why I called you?"


    "Because I think I will hear an unhappy answer when I ask."


    "Ah, you are so smart!"


    "It really upset me."


    Even if he guessed what the other party was going to talk about, Aldridge could not hang up the phone and talk, but he could still talk about it.


    "Did you not pay attention to the news on Milan?"


    "..."


    "Audric, half a month, AC Milan, the Greek national team, you even cut two coaches!"


    Aldridge looked up at the sky, and Galliani couldn''t take it.


    The Greek national team coach is out of class and has already seen the paper today.


    And after Aldridge led Millwall to defeat AC Milan at the Lion King Stadium, AC Milan coach Zaccheroni also took the get out of class.


    The hands-on person is AC Milan boss Berlusconi, bypassing Galliani directly, showing Lao Bei''s determination and anger.


    In all fairness, Aldridge sympathizes with Zaccheroni, excluding the opponent''s three-backs system. Right or wrong, at least he has a card in his hand, wants the league to play against the Champions League, and wants to achieve results. This is really difficult for the strongman.


    Aldridge''s "coach killer", even cutting off the two coaches, will probably also be circulated as a fan after the tea.

 Chapter 597： Mr. "X"

    Probably since last summer, AC Milan has a tradition of transferring Mr. "X".


    Lao Bei shouted to bring AC Milan a certain world-class star. Mr. "X" in the first phase fell on Redondo. The $17 million bought Redondo''s reputation. This is purely from an athletic perspective. The transfer ended in failure.


    This season, AC Milan''s two most important fronts declared defeat, the league won no hope of winning, the Champions League has been eliminated, Lao Bayi began a new round of "X" acquisition.


    Unlike the past, there were few thunder and heavy rain, this time Lao Bei was real, and he was determined to restore the hearts of AC Milan fans, from his personal order to dismiss Zaccheroni.


    "AC Milan don''t even have a head coach now, I think it''s ridiculous to discuss the possibility of a player transfer at this time.


    When the breeze passed, Aldridge was sitting on the bench with the phone, and his two sons stretched their heads to his ears, "tapping" his phone.


    No matter who AC Milan wants to buy, Aldridge can only give one answer now: No selling!


    The season is not over, any other information disclosed will shake the military''s heart.


    As for the Italian team such as AC Milan, it is true whether the team has a head coach, which has little effect on the transfer. The powers of the manager and the head coach are separate, unlike the role of the head coach and manager of the Premier League. The right to speak.


    But AC Milan hasn''t even finalized the head coach now, let alone Millwall''s players, any other team''s slightly famous star, I''m afraid they won''t consider moving to AC Milan, in case they encounter a head who doesn''t match his own character. Coach, isn''t this a self-destructive future?


    Galliani has maintained friendly relations with Aldridge for many years, knowing that it is impossible to call the transfer information now.


    "Old friend, I just want to tell you, if the name of the media is exposed in Milan, don¡¯t be surprised. One thing I can guarantee is that we will never contact your players in private."


    "Oh, I see."


    Aldridge chatted with Galliani again and then hung up.


    He looked up at the sky, Baiyun Canggou, a new round of transfer market storm seems inevitable.


    As far as transfer operations between clubs are concerned, as long as the clubs do not contact players privately, it is normal for the media to fan the flames.


    Just like Millwall was associated with Beckham and Owen last summer.


    The special place of AC Milan is also the political capital of Lao Bei. Playing politics, propaganda is a big weapon. To inspire people, to obtain lasting attention, the mysterious and long-lasting transfer strategy is also an alternative. Club promotion.


    Aldrich got up and took the hands of his two sons, played guessing games with his son on the way home, won the move forward, and lost, the father and son happily played on the streets of the community...


    AC Milan coach was out of class, Lao Bei shouted a heavyweight slogan, the Italian media quickly fanned the flames and speculated who this "X" would be.


    Pirlo, Zambrotta, Gattuso and Matera, who are participating in the FIFA competition with the Italian national team, are on the list and become candidates for Mr. "X".


    The British pride themselves on being humble, but they are inherently filled with a sense of superiority. The same is true of Italian football. The Serie A is prosperous in the world, occupying the throne of the first league for ten years, only now, no It is believed that the future Serie A will gradually decline, slipping from the first to the second, third, and even fourth.


    Serie A is still star-studded, but the most successful Italian players in the past two years have not played in the domestic giants. In the Golden Globe Awards, only Zidane and Shevchenko have two major foreign aids to support the facade. The Italian media can¡¯t wait to hope. Those top Italian players who have played overseas have returned, allowing local Italians to appreciate their skills up close, strengthening Serie A''s reputation, competitiveness, and more.


    Unlike Zola, who has been famous for going abroad for a long time to try new challenges, Pirlo and Zambrotta are a new way. They have become famous in foreign leagues and are now among the top players. The Italians believe that , It''s time for them to go home!


    Italian national team training base.


    Gattuso looked down on the bed with the Gazzetta dello Sport. Pirlo was in the same room as him. Pirlo, who came out after bathing, had just sipped and sat down. Gattuso got up and asked, "What do you think?" ?"


    He handed the newspaper to Pirlo, but the latter did not reach out to pick up the news. He had heard that there were many people in the national team talking about it. In fact, it was a topic that was spreading a long time ago: you, back How good to be in Italy!


    Back in Italy, there will be more reuse in the national team, and it can also strengthen the strength of the Serie A team, there is no doubt.


    Pirlo lay down on the bed and sent Gattuso casually, ready to rest.


    Gattuso climbed Pirlo''s bed reluctantly and continued to press.


    Pirlo was helpless and said with his eyes closed: "Please, AC Milan has no coach, and there may not be a Champions League next season."


    What he said was quite clear.


    Now consider transferring to AC Milan?


    are you crazy?


    Especially his special position in a tactical system, the general coach must not use him well.


    Gattuso returned to his bed, staring back and forth at the ceiling.


    AC Milan is where he dreamed of growing up. The Milan dynasty is his "first love" in the football world.


    These Italian players actually have a subconscious consensus: they can¡¯t end their career in Millwall, impossible!


    If they are English, or non-British Italian West, or Millwall is an Italian team, they will have no problem in Millwall all their lives!


    But people''s lives are not just occupations, playing football is their profession, but also consider too many complicated factors such as family, future, fate, etc.


    Only those famous contemporary loyal ministers, Puyol, Terry, Gerrard, Zanetti, Totti, Piero, Raul, Giggs, Maldini and so on.


    They are basically national top teams, Giggs belongs to Wales, Zanetti is an Argentine. In their homeland, either they are not influx or the center of the football world, they can retain loyalty without reservation. Dedicated to European giants.


    Therefore, in Millwall, Nedved, Larson, Schneider, Southgate, Ronaldinho, etc., these people can be loyal officials, they are not interested in the transfer, they are in the center stage of the football world , Playing for the top team, you can use this as a second home.


    But Italian players can''t do that.


    They have their own family in Italy. The Italian family concept is far more profound than other national cultures. The living environment, cultural conflicts, and language alone. They speak Italian and are proficient in English. They cannot change their identity as a stranger.


    Playing football is famous, who doesn''t want to live in a more comfortable environment?


    Italy is not far from the United Kingdom. Serie A is still better than the Premier League.


    Come back home?


    Yes, it''s time for them to consider returning home.


    Just like Elgra, Capdevila returned to Spain.


    Among the few names that came out, Pirlo and Zambrotta are the most famous, but the two have their own different considerations. Zambrotta is not so eager, and Pirlo is not anxious, although they both have There is already the idea of ??returning to Italy.


    Pirlo knew that his position was special. If he moved back to Italy, the first point was to make sure that a head coach could give him confidence and use himself correctly.


    He only played once in Serie A. Aldrich went to Italy in person and had a long talk with him in person to outline his blueprint for career development. Now, he only has to prove that he can be a world-class in the international competitions, which is far from the price. Comparably, some coaches want him to play, at least have to show no less than the sincerity and trust of Aldridge.


    Another factor made him temporarily suppress the idea of ??transferring to the country. Even if he left, he also had to ensure that Millwall had a suitable successor.


    He is a veteran who has witnessed the team''s renewal. He has feelings for this team. He does not hope that his future departure will bring a heavy blow to the team. Fortunately, Millwall has always had a tradition of training new people. In this position, Lampard and Alonso are in the ascending period, and he will not leave as long as he reaches a height that can threaten his absolute main force.


    Since playing Materazzi''s main role in Millwall, his father, the old Materazzi has been urging him to return to Italy, but Materazzi is unimpressed, he wants to stay two more in Millwall Years, want to get more honor here, instead of leaving immediately when the honor is handed, like a silent betrayal.


    Gattuso only played the main role this season, even though AC Milan is where he dreams to go, but at least he wants to leave his own history in Millwall, instead of looking back at his time with Millwall, it was described as: Makelele''s reliable replacement has contributed.


    Lao Bei asked for a heavyweight signing, which was not the slogan of last summer.


    Millwall received an undisguised offer from AC Milan.


    Buy Pirlo for $30 million.


    $20 million for Zambrotta.


    $20 million for Materazzi.


    $15 million for Gattuso.


    All the Italian players who can play the main role in Millwall are quoted!


    Converted into pounds, Gattuso has an offer of 10 million pounds, and Pirlo is also up to 20 million pounds.


    This is only the first quotation. If you sit down and talk, the transfer fee will definitely go up.


    This is a real gold and silver quote, not a fake!


    AC Milan did this in order to prove Lao Bei''s belief that the Red and Black Legions would rise again.


    This is definitely not an empty city plan.


    If Millwall agreed to do it all at once, AC Milan said: Sorry, we have no money and the transaction is cancelled.


    Then AC Milan became the laughing stock of world football.


    In desperation, Millwall became the supporting role of AC Milan, all offers were rejected, AC Milan no longer continued to offer, and entered another stage.


    Tell the outside world that it¡¯s not that we can¡¯t afford it, but Millwall doesn¡¯t sell it!


    But we will continue our efforts to bring exciting stars in the summer.


    Galliani has learned from all sources that the four major Italian stars in the Millwall formation lack interest in the transfer to AC Milan.


    Especially when AC Milan''s new coach takes office.


    They invited Xingyue Emperor Trim to take over the Red and Black Legion. The news came just before the second game on FIFA match day. The four Millwall Italian players in the national team completely took AC Milan this period. The gossip was ignored.


    Trim?


    Sorry, there is no interest in working with him.


    At least, let him prove himself in the Serie A arena.

 Chapter 598： The most feared opponent

    In the fifth round of World Preliminaries Group I, England will be a guest to Albania. At the press conference before departure, Aldridge and his teammate Beckham attended.


    This is the first time since Aldridge took over the national team. He and Beckham appeared outside the game at the same time. In the previous press conference, he would either attend alone or bring Southgate.


    The two handsome guys appeared with a smile on the scene. The reporters on the scene first took a photo. No matter what, from an entertainment point of view, the most famous player in football today and the most famous coach, the two appeared together, just published photos on the news On the front page, you can get considerable sales.


    Since Beckham became famous, he has been packaged not only by a broker, but by a professional team. Therefore, in public, when facing the camera, he often said that he used diplomatic rhetoric, which sounded comfortable but did not. Too much unexpected content, starting from the value of personal image, he must also suppress many personal ideas, and express the universal values.


    Just like the reporters asking Beckham on the spot, what Aldridge brought to the England team.


    Beckham made a long speech with a smile, saying that Aldridge made the national team a new look, injected fresh vitality, good at communicating with players, trusting the team, and helping the team win.


    Basically, from Beckham, there is no surprise.


    When the focus shifted to Aldridge, the reporters uninterestedly asked AC Milan to offer Millwall players.


    Aldridge raised his hand and made a zipper movement with a smile on his mouth.


    On this occasion, it is not suitable to talk about the club. If he is not the head coach of Millwall, it is okay to talk about it. The national team coach is concerned about the situation of the Premier League team. There is no dispute.


    Anyway, Millwall and AC Milan cannot at least make a deal this summer. AC Milan will give more money, even if Millwall agrees, Pirlo they are not willing to go back.


    This is what Andrew told him in the morning.


    AC Milan has hired Trim to take over the team, and how well Trim in Turkey will be mixed in Serie A, no one knows, the Turkish Super League is the European second-tier league after all, AC Milan has a glorious history, it is In the prosperous Milan city, Ketrim not only can''t make this sign shine, but will make the top stars deterred.


    AC Milan''s movements alarmed their neighbors.


    Moratti called Aldridge last night: If Millwall sells players interested in AC Milan, let me know!


    Moratti obviously wanted to cut the corner. How much did AC Milan cost and Inter Milan could cost two million more? Anyway, AC Milan cannot easily rebuild and revive, especially Millwall''s star, who doesn''t rush to ask for it?


    "England has won two consecutive world preliminaries. If it succeeds in winning the next game, will the probability of England directly advancing to the World Cup be greatly improved?"


    Aldrich shook his head and replied: "It doesn''t depend on our performance. We lost to Germany before. Now Germany occupy the first place in the group. If they win three of the remaining four games, they can lock the group. First place, we can¡¯t think that far right now. Finland, Germany, have more points than England. Judging from the schedule, if we can win three games in four games, at least we can lock in the qualification for the playoffs, but this Obviously it is not the result that England wants. Play one by one. The football world is most taboo."


    After leaving the scene at the end of the press conference, Aldridge walked side by side with Beckham.


    "Coach, haven''t you thought about leading the team to the World Cup?"


    Beckham asked.


    Aldrich replied: "As I said, you only need to focus on playing every game."


    "Of course, we will play every game well, but we are now more eager to play against the German team and lose to Germany at Wembley. We are not reconciled."


    "What if you are not reconciled? If you want to win, you need to set your mind straight, sum up your experience from failure, and improve yourself."


    Beckham suddenly shook his head and said: "What you said makes sense, but it is not convincing to put on you."


    Aldridge looked at Beckham inexplicably, only to see him smile bitterly: "Because you always win, there are very few failures, where do you sum up the experience of failure?"


    Suddenly, Beckham''s unintentional words made Aldridge deep in thought.


    It sounds reasonable for Beckham.


    Yeah, he has fewer failures. Where can he sum up his experience to achieve success?


    Thinking as he walked, Aldridge shook his head as he quickly got into the magic.


    I felt like I was over-pointed.


    When Guardiola took over Barcelona, ??what was the failure experience? Not so much, the glory lasted for several years, and the coaching career can be described as one step!


    Aldridge has a good card and works hard. Why can''t he make a record? Why is it necessary to listen to the teachings in front of the "success" mother "failure" in order to fly Huang Tengda?


    There has never been a set of successful models in the football world. Do it step by step and achieve the goal naturally. In that case, football is simple.


    In this battle for Albania, Aldrich fulfilled his previous commitment, giving the main players a break time and taking them to go. That is definitely going to be placed on the bench list as a back-up in case of unexpected needs.


    Substitutes are thrilled by the opportunity and want to show some performance. According to the current situation of the England national team, the probability of substituting for substitutes is extremely low.


    Albania Mo said that the group assigned to Germany and England could not get the World Cup qualifying rights. Even if they were assigned to any other group, they were basically playing the role of studying with the prince, and their national football level itself was weak, and domestic fans admired the top European The star of the team is the norm. As England is a guest, Albanian fans are very excited. They want to watch the star perform.


    Even Aldridge didn''t expect that when he walked into the stadium, many Albanian fans in the stands welcomed him with a slogan.


    The young master is well-known, and there are fans here too.


    Aldridge went to the coach seat and sat down, watching the players on both sides calmly.


    Albania has not changed much. After all, it is a weak football country. The strongest lineup is also limited. It is put into the Premier League and even the midstream team cannot be squeezed into it.


    England has changed a lot.


    Goalkeeper: James.


    Defenders: Phil Neville, Campbell, Brown, Ashley Cole.


    Midfielders: Gerald, Bart, Lampard, Joe Cole, McManaman.


    Forward: Husky.


    Compared with the previous starter, only Ashley Cole, Lampard and McManaman continued to start.


    The three of them are either energetic or not the absolute main force in the club. The accumulated physical energy for most of the season is completely enough to deal with consecutive national team games.


    The other big names are all on the bench, and the captain''s armband is worn on McManaman''s arm. On the seniority, he is definitely qualified.


    Today is the first game of both Germans starting at the same time. Aldridge hopes to see the effect. After all, it is a dish abuse. As long as there are no major problems, these players are strong enough to crush their opponents.


    Albania fought at home, but contracted back from the start of the game and put out an iron bucket array.


    If the strength is bad, this is the only way.


    England played an offensive and decisive battle, the team''s short board is glanced at a glance.


    Lack of players who can control the ball, only McManaman and Joe Cole can hold the ball in the dense area of ??the frontcourt, making breakthrough attempts to gain something, other players dwarfed.


    Aldridge looked at it for fifteen minutes and shook his head with a long sigh.


    "I was wondering why you didn''t consider the use of Lampard and Gerrard at the same time. Today, the two of them were in the midfield at the same time, and they couldn''t play a good effect."


    Klinsmann clearly understood the meaning from Aldridge''s sigh.


    Aldridge did not answer, and there was nothing to say.


    Lampard, Gerrard, the characteristics are too similar, although Aldrich has clearly defined the responsibilities in the offensive routine, there is rarely a regional conflict between the two, and a reasonable division of labor can be achieved between one attack and one defense, but the two The technical characteristics are similar and there are not many changes to the offense.


    Beckham can pull the edge up, depending on the situation, he is close to the middle, and he has a huge threat in the side pass. Gerald and Lampard can also pull the edge up, but the threats they can make are not good enough.


    In the 20th minute of the game, Aldridge stood up, England had less offensive means, Joe Cole was still young, and was suppressed in the area of ??the front waist that would be surrounded by all directions. He did not have Scholes. The consciousness to break the door in the forefront of the forbidden area is no, not not, he has an inward consciousness to play the sideline at Millwall, but he can insert forward at the front waist position, and the timing cannot be grasped properly.


    Aldridge took the opportunity of a corner kick from the frontcourt to shout loudly and called Gerald to the front, so that Gerald did not need to participate in this corner attack and arranged for him a new task on the sidelines.


    First of all, let Gerald tell Joe Cole to let him go to the side, McManaman hit the other side, the midfielder is handed over to Lampard and Gerrard, and there is Bart protection behind.


    Secondly, Gerald''s position premise, the starting position is changed to midfielder, once Lampard comes up from the back, Gerald will move forward. What is the limit of movement? In front of the opponent''s goal!


    Gerard nodded carefully after listening to Aldridge''s adjustments, ran to the frontcourt to talk to Joe Cole, and then continued the game according to Aldridge''s changes.


    Aldridge went back to his seat and sat down.


    "This is the most difficult situation facing our tactical system?"


    Klinsmann asked thoughtfully.


    Aldridge nodded and sighed: "So I think that the best way to look at the top international teams and perhaps the most restrained in England is Italy."


    Once they encounter a team that does not have the desire to take the initiative to attack or is completely based on defensive counterattack, the tactical system of England is completely invalid. They need to launch a counterattack to play the highest threat. However, if the opponent does not advance, how can there be a counterattack? Opportunities?


    The last time Albania was defeated in Wembley by England, it was defeated by the method of pulling the snake out of the hole. 6-0 was remembered by the bloodbath. They learned well today and they stubbornly refused to move forward. The formation naturally did not spread out.


    Unlike Albania, which is limited in strength and not attacking, when Italy¡¯s chain defense is impeccable from the region to the mark-to-man defense, it is also difficult for England to fight the opponent¡¯s counterattack. Perhaps it is not without chance, but it is absolutely It is much less than the chances of playing a team that is aggressive and aggressive. It is a great opportunity.


    The reason for the rest of the main round of this round, in addition to the physical strength at the end of the season, also studied the game with the coaching staff, I feel that this game with Albania is pitifully less relevant in exercise value, they are not afraid of overtaking with the strong team, lose, and can accumulate experience, Improve the shortcomings, win, and build confidence, but playing with this shrinking defense team, the tough battle sometimes depends on luck, tactical training value is not great.

 Chapter 599： Climb the ladder

    Sitting in the coach seat and continuing to watch the game, Aldridge thought about his thoughts, and the focus of attention was Gerrard.


    For Gerrard, the evaluation of players like Lampard, "Almighty" is the one that hears the most cocoons.


    Speaking of any position can play, but think about it, can play the midfielder, midfielder, midfielder, Gerald left and right midfielder, put him in a position other than the midfielder, which position is for Man is absolutely at ease, and in that position can he be called world-class?


    For reasons of player understanding, training, and usage, Aldridge will naturally trust Lampard in the starting lineup and will be listed as his first choice, instead of playing for Liverpool from his debut in the defender and midfield. Gerald.


    This is the helplessness of the national team coach. If he invited Gerrard to get his wish, he could carefully cultivate Gerald and avoid Gerrard taking fewer detours. Now, Odri? cannot call the club and give the club orders.


    Like Carragher, Aldridge is completely speechless and can''t count on Carragher to play a role in the England team.


    Last season, Carragher played the right back. This season, Carragher began to go to the left back to play for the Reds. It is really a brick. Where do I need to move?


    Carragher''s evaluation of the future is naturally all-round, and he can play in various positions in the back and back.


    The fact?


    He has been completely beaten by top players at the full-back, and can play and can play well. These are two very different concepts.


    From the perspective of technical ability, Gerrard is very comprehensive. The key is how to use him to inspire him and let him contribute to the England national team.


    The main force, there is no place on the field, but Aldridge needs to have a backhand on the bench, there are players who can play the strange soldiers or bring unique effects to the team.


    How to use Gerrard is a question that Aldridge must think deeply about.


    Under normal circumstances, he is a substitute for Lampard, but just listed him as a substitute for midfielder, it would be overkill or a waste of resources.


    Aldridge irresistibly thinks of another old friend: Benitez.


    Benitez used Gerrard very well for one season.


    That season, after Liverpool''s midfield, Mascherano defended, Alonso organized the dispatch, and the baby Torres was on the front line. The person who served as the shadow forward behind Torres was Gerrard, and Torres said at the time. Liverpool Gemini, that season, Gerrard played the highest optical data in the Premier League. The league scored 16 goals and the average scoring rate was more than 0.5. That year, Liverpool ranked second in the Premier League and they were the closest to the Premier League champion. Once, only 4 points away from Manchester United. If Torres missed more than 1/3 of the league due to injury, Liverpool might be able to touch the Premier League trophy for the first time. You know, at that time, Torres had only 24 games in the league starting and bench. Scored 14 goals, the importance is self-evident.


    To say that Gerald is going to be purely defensive, Aldridge is not at ease, let him do the delicate organization work, Aldridge believes, but in the end found that he can only exert his impact.


    Gerald''s characteristics of rushing up are very clear. The stride of the planet wind is wide open and the shooting skills are not outrageous. The threat of the post-insertion can go deep into the penalty zone. The key is to release him and not let him have defensive worries.


    His adjustment just now allows Gerrard to get rid of the shackles of B2B and move the whole area of ??activity forward from the center line to the opponent''s goal to see what he has done.


    Gerald is very hard. No one can doubt his fighting spirit. The football player''s fighting spirit is reflected in running. Players who do not run have no fighting spirit and players who keep running constantly have strong fighting spirit.


    Joe Korra performed better on the wing and was more active and active in the offense.


    A pass from the left side of the road hung into the opponent''s penalty area. Husky scrambled to reach the landing point, but could not attack the goal, but he saw a teammate plug in the other side, so he headered the ball and gave it to the man.


    Gerald!


    He accidentally inserted the Albanian defender unexpectedly, facing the falling ball, Gerrard made a volley, and the ball was higher than the beam. To be precise, he hit the plane with exaggeration.


    After playing the ball, Gerrard felt shame and shame!


    He lowered his head and ran back, secretly telling himself to get the same chance next time, to be calmer, to grasp the timing of swinging the leg accurately, just before the leg swing, he did not eat the positive part, and the bottom of the foot touched the ball. , Almost equal to a big foot to clear the ball.


    England''s tough battle continues, they have the advantage of the field, but they can''t score.


    This is probably not expected before the game. Most people think that England can easily cut vegetables and cut vegetables.


    But after Aldridge readjusted his formation, England needed a period of adaptation.


    From 4321 to 442.


    Unlike the traditional 442, the current 442 play is very aggressive. It seems that the forward has only one Husky. In fact, when the full-back assist came up, McManaman and Joe Corneche became 3 The forward, with Gerald ambushing behind him, and after Gerrard, Lampard exerts pressure on the periphery. To break this intensive defense, the offense needs to be fully rolled out, occupying all areas of the frontcourt, and forming a comprehensive oppression!


    After England adapted to its adjustment, the offensive threat rose intuitively.


    In the 41st minute of the first half, McManaman made a cross from the right and Gerrard''s header from the back was blocked by the opponent''s goalkeeper, creating chaos in the penalty area. The defender cleared the ball and kicked the ball. Rolled directly to the foot of Joe Cole who cut in the left.


    Just after stopping the ball in the penalty area and preparing to shoot, Joe Cole looked up and was startled.


    1, 2, 3, 4!


    There are four Albanian defensive players rushing towards him, shooting?


    Where is the shooting angle!


    He calmly turned the ball around and knocked the ball back to Lampard who was unmarked before the penalty zone. Lampard followed with a low-ball volley.


    Joe Cole attracted all the defensive players to the left. The goal was opened wide on the right side. Lampard looked at it from here. Unmanned defense was very sure. The ball went straight to the bottom of the net.


    "England, finally scored! It was the youngster Lampard who contributed to the team. His long shot in the penalty area helped England take the lead."


    Lampard''s goal kicked off the goal of England''s goal, breaking the intensive defense, the hardest is always the first ball!


    When the shrinking defender loses the ball and the score falls behind, the team¡¯s thinking will diverge. Some players may still defend, but some players want to attack and save the defeat, which will lead to a split in the team¡¯s tactics. , To put it bluntly, is that there is no rhythm between teammates.


    Even if the excellent coach plays the ultimate anti-reverse, he must be prepared to play back. In case of backwardness, how to adjust it may be instilled in the team before the game, so that the players are psychologically prepared and try to reduce their spirits when they lose the ball. Strike and make adjustments quickly.


    Albania is a fish-bellied team. No matter how it is adjusted, it cannot compete with a team at the English level.


    Aldrichian sat and watched the game safely, opening the situation in a tough battle, as expected, as long as it was not without a tactical destination, the team''s thinking was unified, and the other party''s bus was useless.


    In the 56th minute, there was another scuffle in front of the Albanian goal. Lampard made a long-range goalkeeper to save the goalkeeper. McManaman followed the supplementary shot and was blocked by the defender. Finally, Gerald made a second foot shot in the penalty area. Put the ball into the goal.


    "Liverpool teenager Gerrard ushered in the first goal of the national team, congratulations to him, help England lock the victory!"


    Although Gerrard scored a goal, his tactical effect is still not obvious.


    Aldrich thinks it may still be related to his still increasing the ball and accumulating experience. It is impossible to let him rush up at once, he can become a stable attack point, but he can take advantage of the chance of scoring in the melee, at least it reflects Jera De was not a headless fly after attacking.


    I don''t know why, Aldridge feels like he can''t use a high center, or it may be a player''s own ability problem.


    Husky won not many opportunities, but two golden opportunities were wasted.


    Aldrich doesn''t like point-to-point fixed-point offensive routines because it is too easy to be restricted, especially when facing top defense.


    In addition to being able to play the role of a fulcrum to make the ball, Husky scored a goal, which made people anxious.


    By the 70th minute of the game, Aldridge had replaced Husky, allowing Alan Smith to play, Bart also coming off, and Hargreaves playing.


    After the game, there was not much defensive pressure in the backcourt, basically grabbing points and interception, there were no major mistakes, Bart did not stand the test on the court, and it didn¡¯t make much sense to keep it. Aldridge let Hargreaves play and feel A bit of the atmosphere, don''t expect the game itself to temper him, psychological adjustment and feeling are the most important.


    In the last ten minutes of the game, Aldridge stood on the sidelines with hands in his pockets and looked tepid.


    Players who play on the court have average performance.


    Smith, Hargreaves, the former is difficult to do in the dense area, the latter is quite satisfactory, the number of touches is a slap.


    Some young players don''t know how to be flexible on the court, Joe Cole is, there are technical skills, but the experience is obviously insufficient.


    Husky was off the court. He didn''t even have a high point in the penalty area. He was still on the wing.


    Aldridge didn¡¯t remind the players that there wasn¡¯t much time left in the game. Sometimes, players need a tipping point to raise the ball.


    When the game was over, the score was not rewritten.


    "2:0, England beat Albania away. After finishing the fifth round of the World Preliminaries, England have 3 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss, 5 points, 10 points, and 10 goal difference goals! They are tied and now they are overtaken by England with 9 points! England is only 3 points behind Germany. It is very hopeful that they will directly advance to the World Cup finals with the top of the group. There are still three rounds left in this group¡¯s qualifiers. It will be held in June, but England¡¯s bye will be held in September. The next round will be Finland! As long as England defeats Finland, it will almost be able to lock in the play-off places. The pinnacle of Germany! Good luck in England!"


    At the end of the game, Aldridge walked into the field to shake hands with the players and praised them. There are many young players today, and a victory should give them more encouragement and praise.


    On leaving, Aldridge''s eyes became sharp.


    Killed Greece and brushed 8 goal difference goals against Albania, plus Greece''s 4:1, England''s goal difference changed from -1 before he took over to +10.


    Does the goal difference not matter?


    Of course it matters.


    With three rounds remaining, England and Germany will directly talk to each other. If both sides win, then England will meet Germany in the penultimate round. Even if they win, the two teams will have the same points. When the points are the same, compare the goal difference first!


    He will not say this to the players, but he must have a book in his mind.


    The next competitor to be eliminated is Finland!


    This preliminaries is simply climbing the ladder!

 Chapter 600： Goal Ninth

    Stepping into April, the atmosphere of the fan community of East London teams is different.


    Charlton fans are relaxed and relaxed, the team is relegated and worry-free, and they may get tickets for the European War. They are not demanding. They are enjoying every game now and concentrate on cheering for the team.


    The Hammer helped fans witness the team''s fall from the Premier League to the Premier League for many years. This season is good. As long as West Ham United does not crash at the end of the league, it will definitely return to the Premier League next season!


    It is estimated that many hammers have helped fans look forward to restarting the popular East London Derby with Millwall in the Premier League next time.


    Fans of the crazy lion are now slightly nervous.


    In the league and Manchester United, there are only 7 rounds left in the Premier League. The result will soon be announced. The Champions League will come to the quarterfinals. Can the team perform a miraculous defending? I think it is too early to consider the difficulty of this achievement. Fans of the crazy lion are afraid of reappearing on the road of defending.


    There is also pressure within the Millwall team. This pressure has been with them since the season.


    Because they are the public enemy of the Premier League and the most watched team in Europe, there is the pressure of unbeaten league games at the beginning of the season.


    But the top team must have a strong ability to resist pressure. At the end of the season, Aldridge did not decompress the team as in the past. On the contrary, he needed the team to fight the pressure with fighting spirit and rushed to five. At the end of the month!


    After the FIFA game day, Millwall ushered in Everton, who was determined to be relegated.


    Three days later, there will be the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Odric gives the rest of the main force returning from the national team. The more he is under pressure, the more he can''t panic. This is his coaching style.


    After 90 minutes of the game, the Lion King Stadium fell into a short silence, and then the mad lion''s song rang again in the stands.


    The score on the scoreboard is 1:1.


    Millwall had a draw.


    Manchester United''s visit to Anfield in this round, swallowing two bombs and returning with hatred, the situation that originally had the same score as Millwall has turned Millwall into a 1-point lead.


    Millwall reached the top of the league, but Aldridge was not happy.


    There was not a three-pointer in Everton, and this was an upset result.


    At the same time, due to the first half of the season, Millwall''s undefeated gold body was broken in Goodison Park. Everton has really become the host of Millwall this season.


    Aldrich didn''t know whether to be angry.


    Everton, when they look forward to each season, they are all in the middle of the Premier League. However, they are only thrilling to relegate until the end of the season. It is no exaggeration to say that they are relegation madness, but they think that their lineup is far from strong. Far from being at a high level that can be kept up to level, it can only raise a feeling of hate for iron and steel.


    At this stage, the relegation team is really not easy to play, even in home battle, the opponent must win every point, almost the tiger''s mouth!


    Millwall''s internal momentum is soaring, each player is extremely serious when training, and meticulous preparations.


    Aldridge now oversees the team training is a hand thrown shopkeeper, often showing off the negative posture like a majestic old man.


    The increase in the overall age of the team represents the player''s own mentality has reached a mature and stable period, and has seen the sea. At this time, the pressing pressure of the league and the Champions League double attack, in the eyes of many senior players, is just a small wave, wanting to panic them. It is very difficult. There is quite a north-south wind, and I stand still.


    When Schneider returned from the national team, he deliberately sent a bottle of good wine from their winery to Aldridge, Aldridge readily accepted.


    During the training break, Ronaldinho and Villa sat in front of Aldridge. Today the sun is plentiful, and it is lazy to shine on them. This kind of weather training is good or bad, and it is easy to make people sleepy. The best weather is The cool climate is refreshing.


    "Boss, is it difficult to defend the Champions League?"


    Villa raised his head and asked curiously.


    The situation in the Champions League this year is different from previous years. Although Millwall entered the quarterfinals, it is only one of the four Premier League teams. Fleet Street represents England. Millwall can only be said to hope to enter the finals, but the media is more I hope to see the other teams in the Premier League go further. It is best if all the semi-finals are occupied by the Premier League. As for whether Millwall can create a new history, they don''t really care.


    Therefore, Millwall''s call for defending is not high, and the outside world has deliberately created a difficult argument for defending, intending to put pressure on Millwall. The media outside of England must be the purpose of disturbing the military.


    Just like Aldridge''s psychological battle when he put pressure on Manchester United, which one do you want in the league or the Champions League? It''s time to choose, be careful!


    Aldridge sat on the grass and smiled with his hands on his knees: "In history, eight teams have completed the Champions League defending, Real Madrid, Benfica, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Bayern Munich, Ajax, and England. Nottingham Forest and Liverpool. Difficult, definitely difficult, but because of the unexpected difficulty, when you do it, the sense of accomplishment will be unparalleled."


    In the context of this time node, there has not been a so-called "successful without defending after the Champions League restructuring."


    The system was restructured in 1998 and is now only 01. There are many reasons for the difficulty of defending sharply after the restructuring. One is that there are more participating teams and the competitiveness has improved a lot. Before the restructuring, only the league champions of major leagues can participate in the Champions League. The strength of those second-tier league champions cannot shake the first-class league champions. After the restructuring, the runner-up in the mainstream league, the strength of the third and fourth places, far exceeds the second-tier league champions. One can imagine how strong the competitiveness is, and the defending situation has become cruel. The second is the post-Bosman rule era, the stronger the stronger team, the easier it is to recruit stars, and the strength limit of the strong team is also increased year by year.


    "Eight teams have successfully defended their titles. If we can also defend successfully, it will be the ninth."


    Villa put his hands on the grass behind him, looking at the sky with dim eyes.


    Although this is not the ninth number, it is also a shocking honor.


    Ronaldinho bowed his head and said nothing.


    He has worked hard this season, especially when he came to the end of the season, the Champions League defending road has gone more than half.


    In defending the Champions League, Millwall had a chance. Last time, he fell to Munich.


    Although Ronaldinho has already relieved, it does not mean that his ambitions have begun to disappear, becoming the ninth team that can successfully defend the Champions League. The name of Millwall will become special among the giants!


    "Don''t think so much, the top 8 hasn''t passed it yet. We want to defend the title and others want to win the championship. At the level of the top 8, no one will easily give the victory away."


    Aldridge smiled after speaking.


    Can you not?


    Even he himself is desperate for the success of defending the Champions League. In this way, he has three Champions Leagues in four years, which not only makes Millwall¡¯s dynasty more convincing, but also his own coaching achievements have reached a new height. Three The UEFA Champions League will make him tie the record of Liverpool''s winning of the Champions League in 5 years with the Paisley interest rate.


    But if he can''t do it, he won''t blame too much. Whether he wins or loses, he loses, loses, there is nothing to panic, but he can''t lose to himself.


    The atmosphere of the team''s active preparation is good, everyone is working hard with action, trying to put their name in the new history.


    Millwall''s major fan organizations are also in action, buying a lot of away tickets, going to the away to cheer for the team up close.


    Before having dinner with Brady and his wife, Brady was even laughing, and many members of the fan organization have already done a good job of awakening.


    The Champions League game is in the middle of the week, most of the fans have to go to work the next day, but went to watch the ball abroad, if the team can achieve a satisfactory result for them, the fan group will naturally celebrate, and no one will finish watching it uncomfortably. The game immediately went to catch a plane and returned to China to prepare for work the next day. After the celebration, the work on the second day was suspended.


    After preparing for the battle, the Millwall team was promoted and took their special plane to Valencia, Spain, as a guest to challenge the Bat Army.


    Mestalla, the lair of the Bat Army, the burial ground of many strong teams in these two years!


    "In the first round of the quarter-finals of the Champions League in the 00-01 season, Valencia ushered in the defending champion Millwall at home. It was like a fatal meeting again. The two teams, whether fans, coaches or players, must be calm. ! Last season, Millwall won Valencia for the second time and won the Champions League trophy. This season, people think that Valencia''s strength has fallen sharply and cannot occupy a seat in the feast of the giants, but Cooper is relying on his excellent coaching. The ability to make Valencia all the way to the quarterfinals is admirable, just as Millwall sold the main team of half the team last summer, but it is still difficult to reach the quarterfinals. Believe. Although Valencia has the advantage of playing at home, but they meet Millwall, the gap in strength can not be ignored."


    Aldridge walked into the stadium and stood on the sidelines, looking around the stadium. This was not the first time he came and led the England national team to Spain to play an away friendly match. It was here.


    However, today there is really a sense of sight.


    The large number of Bat Army fans in the stands are still different from the Spanish national team fans in the characteristics, and the momentum created is also very different from the friendly game.


    The fans of Valencia must succumb to their hearts, want revenge, and want to let the crazy lion bleed here to repay the pain of the defeat of the Champions League final last season.


    Fans of the crazy lion came to the road and were equally excited to create a huge cheer in the stands, which is not unlike the fans of the home team.


    Before they enter the stadium, they will find the hostility of the other side when they contact or watch the Valencia fans on the streets around the stadium. It was a gesture that used to be very used by lion fans. They felt unwilling because of the defeat on the court. Meet early to complete revenge.


    Crazy Lion fans are now disrespectful, and even make fun of them: they should be thankful that they are a Spanish team, not an English team. They have known for two or three years in the Premier League that the more they think about "revenge", the more they will let themselves pain.


    The team that talked about revenge before playing against Millwall in the Premier League, 1, 2, 3, definitely less than 4.


    Valencia coach Cooper appeared solemnly on the court. He took the initiative to shake hands with Aldridge before the match. The two did not know each other. They once again confronted each other, and the friendship of the landlords should be taken. .


    He has always said that Millwall is a popular promotion in looking forward to this game. Valencia must show all the courage to beat Millwall.


    Aldridge is respectful of Cooper from the heart. Valencia was dug away a lot of the main force last summer, but this season''s performance is very brave. It is a good evidence to be able to reach the quarterfinals. With luck, it is impossible to go. here.


    But with respect and respect, Aldridge''s expression changed, and his eyes contained fierce murderousness.


    In the cruel green arena, someone must fall!


    Defending the Champions League, whether it is for my disciples or myself, this is a supreme honor, and those who block me are justified.

 Chapter 601： Lucky hit

    Players from both Valencia and Millwall entered the stadium, and each held their heads bravely, and they were determined to win this game.


    Even if the outside world is not optimistic that Valencia can snipe Millwall in the quarter-finals, how can Valencia catch it?


    The outside world is not optimistic, it is someone else''s business, and it has nothing to do with them.


    "We see that the players from both sides have entered the field in a row. Let''s introduce the starting list of both sides.


    Valencia released a 451 formation today.


    Goalkeeper: Canizares.


    Defenders: Angloma, Ayala, Pellegrino, Carboni.


    Midfielder double back: Albelda, Baraja.


    Avant-garde: Mendieta, Aimar, Kili Gonzalez


    Forward: Karoo.


    Millwall started 433.


    Goalkeeper: Palyuka.


    Guards: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.


    Midfielders: Gattuso, Pirlo, Nedved.


    Forwards: Larson, Henry, Ronaldinho.


    From the player line-up, it can be seen that Millwall is stronger, but the strength on the football field is only the basis. Whoever deer will depend on the 90-minute matchup between the two sides on the field. "


    Compared with the configuration of one of the best midfielders in Europe last season, after Herard and Falinos left, Valencia bought Baraja and formed a double back with Albelda, which is also called Europe One of the toughest waist combinations.


    In the winter transfer window, Valencia bought the talented young man Aimar. Vicente and Joaquin who had been loaned to them by Millwall did well, but they are not their own people. It is estimated that the Valencia club also has its own. The idea is that before the season, the major generals rushed to loan, and when the first stage of the Champions League group stage finished successfully, the income rose sharply, and their minds became lively. In the future acquisition, in case these two are too hot, they will not be able to afford the transfer fee.


    Mestalla''s hustle and bustle continued, and the cheering of fans from both sides was not reduced after the game started.


    After a five-minute trial and adaptation rhythm, the two teams opened up and accelerated the pace of the game.


    Generally speaking, a 180-minute turn-based game will converge slightly in the first round, but against a top strong team such as Millwall, Valencia really dare not be too conservative in rhythm, unable to win opponents at home and go away, There are so many evils!


    And this is also related to their own technical and tactical play.


    The ultimate defensive counterattack, Cooper put this set to the limit in Valencia.


    The outside world can''t blame Cooper''s tactics for any problems, whether it is anti-football utilitarian or something.


    Cooper''s hand determined that he could only play against.


    Two full-backs, Anglomar and Caboni, are now 36 years old!


    No defense, how can the full-backs have the ability to go up and down, even if the middle and lower teams can drag down their side defenses back and forth, this is not enough, you must also have a double back to protect the back line, especially the full-backs and the middle The guard''s ribs are free and improve the fault tolerance rate. In this way, the four guards plus double backs, no matter how the front design is based on this, so anti-reverse is the best choice.


    Millwall quickly developed oppression in the frontcourt, and Aldridge was not surprised.


    The opposing two full-backs couldn''t go up, because they couldn''t come back, so they defended the back line and turned around. Millwall''s two wingers'' defensive tasks were not so heavy, and they could focus more on offense.


    Veterans have the advantage of veterans, as long as they don¡¯t give enough space to opponents to be eaten by speed players, they have a wealth of experience in the pre-judgment, selection, interception timing, assist defense, etc. to provide the basis. Last season, the Champions League final Valencia After the game, the media unanimously believed that it was caused by Hellado replacing Kaboni who could not play.


    Today, the biggest change in Millwall¡¯s offense came from Ronaldinho. Aldrich deliberately gave him the task at the tactical meeting. Don¡¯t rush to the sideline and take the inner line. Closer to the middle and strengthen the cooperation with Nedved.


    Although Albelda and Baraja had good defensive abilities, they still seemed unable to parry Ronaldinho''s initiative to come to the middle with Nedved.


    After Ronaldinho opened the game, he first played a trick on the side to provoke his opponents. A bull tail flicked through Anglomar''s defense, but the effect of the bottom cross was general.


    His threat, Mo said Valencia, the entire UEFA know.


    When Ronaldinho took the initiative to lean towards the middle road, he gave the left road to Zambrotta. Angloma did not dare to press up and forced the robbery to lose his position. Ronaldinho alone in the middle road made Albelda and Baraja feel pressure. , Especially when Ronaldinho is in possession of the ball, they dare not rush to grab, always pay attention to their distance from the defender line.


    In the 11th minute, Ronaldinho controlled the ball in front of the penalty area and made a fake shake. Alberda looked like a ghost and feared that he would take a half step back, but Ronaldinho stood up straight, standing in all directions, all There are Valencia players defending, the front defense is still, and Mendieta comes back to assist.


    Ronaldinho lightly seemed to lift the ball on the spot, passing Alberda''s head, as if shocking his mind, his eyes widened and he immediately turned his head to look back.


    Henry jumped up to grab a nod and consciously moved to the side.


    The ball hadn''t landed yet. In the air, Nedvide brought the ball in with his chest when he rushed forward, breaking through the entire defense of Valencia.


    Because the Valencia defense was dragged behind, Nedvide seemed to be single-handed, but it was too close to the goal. Canizares decisively abandoned the goal after Henry headered the ball. When the ball came from At the moment when Nedved landed on the chest, Canizares had lowered the center of gravity and came to Nedved one meter away.


    Nedved forcibly kicked his foot, vigorously volleyed.


    boom!


    There was a cry of exclamation in Mestalla''s stands.


    The ball hit Canizares'' shoulder and flew off.


    Fans of the Bat Army immediately doubled their applause, applauding Canizares¡¯ fearlessness.


    "Nedved''s shot was blocked by Canizares'' body, Millwall''s attack was very effective, and Valencia''s defense was ripped directly from the middle."


    Valencia had just escaped, and Larsson''s header from the back of the goal was confiscated by Canizales because he was too positive.


    The 36-year-old Caboni clearly couldn''t stop Larson''s sudden and inward explosiveness.


    Fans of Valencia in the stands have begun to worry.


    The scene looks like Valencia, which has the advantage of being at home today, is more disadvantaged than last year''s final!


    After 2 minutes, Mendieta spurred a counterattack in the backcourt and opened a big foot to the frontcourt.


    This long pass crossed Gattuso''s zone and went directly to Valencia''s arrow character, Norwegian high center Karu!


    Karu turned his back to Millwall''s penalty area and landed two meters in front of him. Materazzi was unable to get close at first, so he patiently and calmly waited for Karu to turn the ball. At that time, it was broken. The best time for his ball, absolutely won!


    But after the ball fell, Materazzi looked at Caru''s back and suddenly raised his head and yelled: I bought a watch last year!


    I don''t know if Karu was intentional or unintentional, obviously he has enough space and time to stop the high-altitude ball, and he also made a step forward to stop the ball.


    By the way, the football bounced on the lawn at his feet. He seemed to be taken aback by the rebounding ball, and then turned around panicly to chase the ball.


    After the ball bounced off the ground, it just passed the top of Materazzi''s head and flew behind him. Materazzi unexpectedly found the ball flying over the head and turned around immediately, but saw someone flying at two meters in front of him. Go forward to chase the second drop of the ball.


    Kylie Gonzalez!


    From the long pass of Mendieta, Gonzalez ran inside from the sidelines.


    Schneider was able to keep up with each other, but when Karu could take the ball, Materazzi defended the zone, and Gonzalez was suspected of offside before Karu received the ball. Schneider and Materazzi Keeping parallel, if Caru stopped the ball and turned to pass to Gonzalez, Gonzalez fell into an offside trap.


    But it was wrong, Karu didn''t stop the ball, didn''t touch the ball, the ball flew across the midfield from the air, hit the ground and then bounced, and crossed the back line.


    Materazzi can interfere with Gonzalez if he takes a step up, but he must use his hand!


    Between lightning and flint, Materazzi gave up this idea, although Southgate has been running fast to fill the seat, but if he fouls, it is a red card if it is not good, here is Valencia¡¯s home court, Can''t afford this risk!


    Gonzalez caught the ball in the penalty area and Palyuca also abandoned the goal. Gonzalez shot without a hesitation. Palyuca made a save but was unable to return to the sky.


    The ball flew in from the far post of the goal and hit the side net directly to see how tricky the angle is.


    "Valencia opened the first record! Gonzalez''s beautiful long shot penetrated the door of Millwall! In the 16th minute of the game, Valencia scored a goal! Their counterattack was really powerful, and even the defending champion could not withstand it! "


    The narrator is a bit unruly.


    Valencia played a threatening counterattack in 16 minutes, this time the goal was scored, and it was absolutely crooked.


    You have to say that Karu made a stop motion and the result was that it didn''t touch the ball as a fake action, then he is simply a god, not only has a long eye behind his head, but also can accurately predict the trajectory of the object.


    It''s common for a striker to miss the ball and change his teammate''s direction to cover, but he has never seen a striker use a high ball to make a second leap to cover his teammate. If Karu really thinks so, he won''t panic and turn to chase.


    Mestalla''s stands boiled, and the fans waved their fists as they cheered.


    Matrazzi raised his hand to Palyuca with a sullen face, indicating that it was his problem, and then extended his hand to Schneider to explain what.


    It was also due to Mendieta''s long pass with a strong kick. After the rebound, the speed was quite fast. If the intensity is smaller, Materazzi may not have to chase back, and he can make a header by taking two steps back.


    Cooper''s expression on the sidelines was still very dignified, his face stretched, but his eyes showed an unknown flame.


    Valencia can only play anti-anti, Millwall''s offensive is so strong, although the goal is now ahead, the situation is still not optimistic.


    One, not enough!


    In addition to avoiding being scored as a guest goal by opponents, Valencia''s probability of promotion is still below 50% when going to the away court 1:0.


    Aldridge was unimpressed by the team¡¯s lost goal and stood on the sidelines, with no change in expression.


    Judging from the first 15 minutes, Millwall''s advantage is obvious. There is no need to panic when losing a ball. Today is to get an away goal.


    In fact, Valencia played anti-counterfeit, if Millwall was also determined to fight anti-counterfeit, he could definitely limit the opponent¡¯s goals, but Audridge felt capable of suppressing the offense. Even if away, Milwall would abandon the style. Contrary to their football philosophy.


    In the face of a comparable team, it is no problem to play defense against the road, and in the face of opponents who can create excellent opportunities, Millwall should play more actively.

 Chapter 602： Bombard

    Mestalla''s situation has changed suddenly, the fandom made by the home fans is shocking in all directions, and the fans of the crazy lions are all confused by the team''s sudden goal drop.


    I''ve always been used to Millwall''s amazingly creative scoring method, and for the first time I saw that a long pass can play like this.


    Is this a targeted tactical design in Valencia?


    Karu is actually a cannon fodder, attracts firepower, is a transparent person in tactics, does not touch the ball, allows the long pass to play penetrating power, the threat point is the inward player?


    Fans didn''t understand it, and more felt that Valencia was shit.


    Aldridge made tactical adjustments before the kick-off.


    He didn''t have to open his mouth and pointed to Schneider. When the other party looked at him, he raised his index finger in his right hand, drawing a straight line from left to right, and then gestured the same towards Zambrotta.


    The two full-backs understood the question and swallowed the doubts in their hearts. Anyway, after following Aldridge for so many years, they were used to making only one choice: accept and execute.


    The question in their minds is: the game does not even reach 20 minutes, playing away, this is a desperate rhythm!


    Aldrich''s gesture, the command is: full-back, attack up, and the most aggressive command.


    This means they can even make a guest winger!


    Aldridge''s calmness not only gave the team confidence, but also made Mestalla home fans unhappy.


    It seemed that Millwall had scored the goal just now, not Valencia.


    In fact, not only is Aldridge calm, the Millwall players on the field also have no special body or expression language.


    Just throw a ball, the sky is falling, far away.


    Even if the naivety collapses, we have the confidence to hold up the sky again!


    The reason why Aldridge made the tactical adjustment is very important because of Gonzalez''s goal.


    The goal is second, the key is that Gonzalez can appear in that position at that time.


    Valencia''s lineup has congenital deficiencies, and the two offensive backs are offensive, at least against the top teams.


    Ronaldinho, Larson, can get the upper hand one by one.


    But obviously the pressure is not enough.


    Otherwise, Gonzalez could not run so far in the counterattack.


    Aldridge wants to turn the game into a fierce matchup!


    The opponent''s four defenders against Millwall''s three forwards.


    Pirlo + Nedved vs. Albelda + Baraja.


    Gattuso vs. Aimar.


    Zambrotta and Schneider vs Gonzalez and Mendieta.


    In the end, Caru was alone against Materazzi and Southgate.


    Since the opponent is playing the ultimate anti-reaction, this is a tactic that restricts teamwork and compresses the space. The key point is the personal confrontation of the players.


    Millwall stars have better personal abilities than their opponents, so we must maximize this.


    After Schneider and Zambrotta assisted, Millwall''s oppression of the attack was completely spread out, almost enclosing Valencia''s restricted area in a fan shape, which just happened to form a tit-for-tat situation with Valencia''s dish-shaped defense.


    Caboni and Anglomar could not prevent Ronaldinho and Larson by themselves. Now with the help of Schneider and Zambrotta, they are naturally unable to parry, which forces Mendieta and Gonzalez. Lacey retreated deeper to participate in the defense.


    The game of Valencia at home is extremely passive and even ugly!


    Cooper paced back and forth on the sidelines, twisting his eyes and wandering in his own restricted area.


    Valencia can''t launch a counterattack that they are good at after a successful defense.


    Going by the sidewalk, the speed of Gonzalez and Mendieta couldn''t get rid of Schneider and Zambrotta, and went directly to Aimar. Gattuso was just a man and a ball. He must leave one!


    Not to mention Karu, he simply went straight to the ball to find Karu. There was no connection point next to him. Materazzi had no scruples and formed a joint defense with Southgate. He was the first to press up and snatch. Karoo.


    After the game reached 30 minutes, the situation of the pair was quietly formed.


    Cooper turned his head and tried hard to break the game, trying to reverse the current decline.


    Valencia can be passive, but it can never be counterattacked. In that case, it is not passive, but it is waiting to be killed!


    In the 34th minute, Zambrotta took the ball on the wing, Ronaldinho let the wing go in the middle, and then received the ball and knocked on the heel to Pirlo. The latter passed the ball straight to the front right without stopping the ball.


    Baraja and Albelda turned their heads, and it was unbelievable, how did Larson pull to the right of the center of the line?


    After Millwall''s bilateral defender assisted, Gonzalez and Mendieta''s own defensive conversion consciousness could not keep up with the pace of Millwall players'' running position, and the mark was wrong.


    Schneider ran up, Gonzalez was following, and Caboney did not dare to rush out, Larson also ran to the small empty zone in front of the penalty zone like Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho pulled out and attracted Albelda Attention, Baraha has the important task of marking Nedved, and Larsen has a good chance.


    The empty space in the penalty area was already very narrow. Larson didn''t pass the ball or made a breakthrough. After adjusting the spot, he shot directly and the ball flew to the lower left corner of the goal. As a result, Aya stretched his foot and blocked it halfway. , Canizares came out in a cold sweat, the goalkeeper most taboo to make a save the ball changed direction.


    when!


    The refracted ball hit the right post and popped up, and Kaboni immediately turned halfway to clear the ball.


    "Larsen''s shot hit the goal post after being refracted and popped! Valencia escaped again! Since Valencia scored and scored the lead, they fell into full passiveness, Millwall''s frontcourt oppression was too Horror, the absolute anti-guest is the main pressure on Valencia, and Valencia is too busy defending, and can only make a goalless goal and often can''t make an effective counterattack. In this way, it may be difficult to avoid losing the ball."


    The atmosphere of Mestalla changed quietly. The fans of the Bat Army watched the team being bombarded and the wind clashed in front of the door. They were not optimistic, and the fans of the lion were cheering and applauding like a tide. Applaud every time the team shoots, cheer for a wonderful personal performance or teamwork.


    Henry''s shot slid out, Pirlo''s long shot was blocked, Zambrotta followed up and continued the long shot was blocked by Canizares with a single palm...


    "Milwall attacked continuously and formed consecutive shots. The first half of the game was almost over. Valencia will be able to take a breath soon, but it is necessary to defend this corner first."


    Pirlo ran to take a corner kick, and Ronaldinho also sneaked behind. Pirlo took a tactical corner kick. Ronaldinho stepped on the ball and immediately attracted the opponent''s defensive player, pulling the ball back to the opponent before being approached. After taking the corner kick, Pirlo ran back. At this time, Pirlo crossed the angle 45 degrees and hung into the penalty area.


    The tactical corner kick is to disturb the opponent''s defensive corner kick''s static mark arrangement. At this time, Pirlo''s cross happened to find Materazzi ambushing at the back point.


    I saw Materazzi leaping high and consciously headed towards the goal near the corner.


    Canizares moves with the passing ball flight trajectory, Materazzi''s header hits the goal at a close angle, the distance is very close, Materazzi''s header is powerful enough for the goal, Canizares is completely subconscious Blocking the ball with open arms, the result was blocked, but Canizares did not use his hands or body, but his face!


    "Hehe, hehehe, Materazzi''s header was rejected by Canizares with his face! Fortunately, Canizares jumped, if he didn''t jump, the ball would definitely go from him Flying overhead to score a goal!"


    Materazz stomped and jumped twice, irritated and feeling nowhere to spread the fire.


    Finally, he seized an opportunity to make achievements for atonement.


    Aldridge saw that the team couldn''t attack for a long time, and those shooting opportunities had come out, but just missed the goal. He either smiled bitterly or sighed.


    To be honest, today the team is in very good condition, breaking the intensive defense, and it is still the intensive defense of the Valencia team that relies on anti-anti-eating teams. Taking into account the away factors, Millwall can press the opponent to attack aggressively and achieve considerable What can he say to the team''s shooting opportunity?


    The current situation is exactly the lack of breaking the door, but not the lack of defense, Valencia''s defense, Millwall broke several times, the only thing that can''t be broken is the door guarded by Canizares.


    At the end of the half, Aldridge took the lead into the player channel.


    Millwall players got together and went off together. They gathered together to exchange information on the first half. Everyone felt lack of luck.


    Henry was more embarrassed. There were too many people in the penalty area. He couldn''t get the ball. There was no room for raid. Taking advantage of the cold shot characteristics he got off the ball. Three-footed shot, one foot missed, two feet hit the opponent''s defensive player .


    Ronaldinho is basically a long shot from a long corner, but the only time he hit the goal range was resolved by Canizares.


    Talking and chatting, everyone suddenly became silent.


    Because they thought of an opponent''s data.


    How many successful goalkeeper saves?


    Canizares went up and down in the first half, repeatedly solving the danger. He couldn''t solve it. There were beams and goal posts to help.


    Aldridge did not make tactical changes in the locker room, and now only looks at the player''s personal ability when he seizes the opportunity.


    He emphasized the wing. Schneider and Zambrotta were the key points. It was necessary to attack to force the opponent''s wing players to return to the defense, and to return to the defense at the first time when the offensive and defensive transition. It was a severe test for physical fitness.


    As he walked out of the locker room, Klinsmann asked: "Will Klose be warmed up in the second half to increase the threat of a header in front of the goal?"


    Aldridge frowned for a moment and said, "We have Larson and Nedved in the header. It doesn''t feel like it''s a bad header. In fact, it''s difficult to specify which offensive points are still flawed. Clo Who will withdraw if Zeshang? Let¡¯s take a look."


    Klinsmann no longer insisted after careful thinking. He just provided a suggestion. It was a reminder to Audridge. It was not good. Let¡¯s just play a simple and rough header bombing. Anyway, our opponents have played so conservatively at home. .


    Now that Henry is better than Klose, Henry''s comprehensive ability is definitely stronger, no doubt, but Klose has one advantage that Henry has defeated, that is the header!


    Henry''s header ability is not compliable. Ordinary header is no problem, but it is really terrible to fight for the goal before the goal.


    I can''t see anything abnormal when I look at the training. It''s not easy to use it anyway when it comes to the game.


    Aldrich didn''t know what the reason was. He had absolutely no idea for Henry to work **** his header.


    He comforted himself by reading a "professional" article on Henry''s header analysis in his last life.


    The writer is a professor at the University of Hamburg, Germany.


    It is through Henry''s skull section to analyze why Henry''s header ability is so low.


    Aldrich couldn''t understand the kind of almost anatomical analysis. The conclusion is that Henry''s head is not suitable for the head, but it is suitable for "flying".


    This highly "professional" article not only explained why Henry had a poor header, but also provided a theoretical basis for why Henry ran fast.


    A streamlined head can reduce air resistance...

 Chapter 603： Penalty kick

    There was a strange breath in Mestalla''s stands.


    Fans of the Bat Army were not happy when they saw the score of 1:0 on the scoreboard. From expression to heart, they were all worried.


    Judging from the situation in the first half, Valencia lost the ball sooner or later.


    Millwall didn''t score, he didn''t tie the score, but the pressure from the European Team No. 1 was terrifying. Think about the countless dangers in front of the first half. There are still 45 minutes in the second half. Can Lencia really hold it?


    The confidence accumulated over the years has made the fans of the Lions calm.


    They firmly believe that the team can score in the second half, and even reverse the score. In the first half, Valencia has no success in the offense, except for that counterattack, but Millwall''s attack has been very prosperous and violent. The effect of indiscriminate eyeballs is very exciting.


    It doesn''t matter, goals will come naturally.


    The players and head coaches of both sides walked out of the player channel. Cooper bowed his head with serious concerns. The decline in the first half could not find a solution to contain it.


    Perhaps a wide-open play like the Premier League team can ease the defensive pressure, but this is not the style of the La Liga team, contrary to their heavy midfield pass and control of the technical flow of play, even if the frequent siege keeps the ball away from the danger zone It can alleviate the immediate defensive pressure, but it is equivalent to returning the ball to the opponent. Millwall¡¯s ability to launch a fast attack in a fast pace is terrible, and it is not possible to relax his defense line nerves, but it will cause a catastrophe to be destroyed by the opponent. Take away with a wave.


    In fact, Valencia can not counterattack to threaten, the key point is this point in Aimar.


    After Aimar joined, Cooper has begun to brew a new style of play. 4312 is their most commonly used recently. Aimar is the core of the organization. It not only mobilizes the two wings to fight back quickly, but also delivers shells to the front.


    But in the first half of today''s game, Aimar disappeared in the same way, and did nothing in the battle of Gattuso. Because of the fast pace of the Premier League, the ability of defensive players to stick to people is more characteristic. Under the circumstances of sufficient physical strength, the defensive area is large. In the defense zone, it is like a dog skin plaster sticking to the other party to force the robbery to be a common situation.


    Even though he was a genius boy, Aimar was still slightly immature. When he came to the stage of the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, facing Millwall, he himself could not play his best due to tension and pressure. The highly aggressive opponents fell into the disadvantages in confrontation and competition. Over time, confidence gradually disappeared.


    At the beginning of the second half, Valencia launched a fast break on the wing. Aimar did not dare to stick the ball too much in front of Gattuso. He played two consecutive one with Mendieta and then suddenly shifted before the penalty area to pass the ball to Gonzalez on the left, the latter made a cross, the landing point was excellent, right in front of the goal.


    Caru jumped for the top, Materazzi also jumped for the fight, when the ball fell, a pair of big hands steadily took the ball from the air and took it in his arms.


    Caru and Materazzi collided in the air, coupled with Palyuca''s impact, Valencia center and Millwall center defender lost their center of gravity and fell to the ground.


    The two fell to the ground almost in a figure of eight. Palyuka stood steadily in the middle, hugged the ball and straightened his waist. He looked around the penalty area, looking for the ball out point and intending to launch an offensive quickly.


    A booing sounded from Mestalla''s stand, the referee stopped the game, and Aimar and Mendieta rushed to the referee and pointed to Millwall''s penalty area to signal the foul!


    "The referee ignored the complaint between Aimar and Mendieta. He just stopped playing and walked over to ask Caru and Materazzi. Two tall players collided and fell to the ground. It is hard to say who fouled the ball. Everyone was heading for the ball, but neither of them touched the ball. It was Palyuka who took it off. If the referee gave Millwall a foul, it would be unreasonable."


    Although Materazzi and Caru had physical contact after taking off, they were actually overturned by Palyuka!


    Palyuka took the initiative to take off, plus the goalkeeper himself raised his knees to protect himself, Materazzi was hit by Palyuka''s elbow to his shoulder, and Karu was pushed up by his side waist.


    The scene was very weird. The two tall iron guys fell on the ground for a long time. Palyuka saw the referee blowing the game and bowed his head to ask about the situation of the two.


    After a short time, both of them returned to the court to continue the game.


    Aldridge screamed pity on the sidelines.


    Valencia''s fast break is only a paired state. As long as it is not a one-to-one error, Millwall will not give the opponent a good scoring opportunity. On the contrary, the opponent will attack and the chance to counterattack is better than the positional battle.


    While playing, Millwall once again fought the situation, and there was another rush of noise in front of Valencia.


    "Ronaldinho posted a long-range shot outside the penalty area! Canizares swooped with one hand to block the ball from the bottom line!"


    Ronaldinho frowned. He shot the long shot just now. He hit the dead corner in the lower left corner of the goal. Unexpectedly, he still failed to break the goal.


    Aldrich gestured to the offensive players on the sidelines, allowing them to speed up the flexible switch of offensive methods.


    Pirlo and Nedved successively shot another threatening long-range shot, and then, Valencia''s back line moved out, intending to reduce the long-range space for Millwall.


    The opponent''s conversion process was in the middle of the game. In the 57th minute, Millwall played a subtle cooperation. Larson took the ball from the right and gave it to Pirlo. Pirlo then handed over to Ronaldinho who was transposed to the middle. Ronaldinho made a kick. The ball was kicked to Nedvide, who then went straight and the ball passed between Baraja''s legs and fell to Henry''s foot in an anti-offside diagonal run.


    After Henry counter-offside, Canizares abandoned the goal and on the line of the small penalty area, Henry made a move and scammed Canizares to slam the ball around the center of the goal and almost face the empty goal!


    At this time, the hearts of all Bat Legions fans mentioned their throats.


    Henry took a decisive shot, but at the moment he shot, someone on the right side stretched out a foot, blocking the ball he shot, the flying ball refracted, rubbing the outside of the column and rolling out of the bottom line.


    Unbelievable, Henry turned his head and looked around. Ayala was hugged excitedly by Pellegrino. Canizares got up from the ground and shouted to Ayala in a terrible manner. The two gave a high-five.


    "Incredible! Millwall hit the ball with a continuous pass and made a subtle match. After Henry''s anti-offside success, even Canizares has passed, but the final shot was destroyed by Ayala. What can I say? Milwaukee? If you have better luck, maybe even if Aya stretched her foot and changed the trajectory of football, she might still score. I don¡¯t want to say, but I have to say it again, Valencia escaped!"


    There was a warm applause from the stands. Valencia fans were very satisfied with the team¡¯s performance. Millwall¡¯s strength was obvious to all. The offensive methods were varied. The continuous long-range shot just created space for the next penetration and cooperation, which was fleeting. Opportunity, Millwall seized the opportunity, the goal was rejected by Valencia''s persistent defensive ideas.


    Luck?


    Valencia fans don''t think so. Football is not just about skills, teamwork, and spirit.


    Although the team did not concede a goal, Cooper made a substitution adjustment in the 60th minute.


    Aimar and Caru were off the court, and it was Giukic and Juan Sanchez who replaced them.


    This substitution caused a commotion in the stands, and there was a lot of discussion.


    Fans of Valencia feel suffocated, but have no choice but to admit their fate.


    Crazy Lion fans asked each other.


    "Sanchez is a forward and replaced Caru. The forward changed to the forward. Juki? seems to be a defender? The defender changes to an offensive midfielder. Is Valencia trying to block the goal?"


    Aldrich''s mind turned.


    The substitution of Valencia seems to be the removal of an offensive player and the addition of a guard, which seems to weaken the offense and strengthen the defense.


    It is certainly true to strengthen the defense, but if Valencia meets 1:0, he will give up the offense, which is definitely impossible.


    After observing the game for 5 minutes on the sidelines, Aldridge understood Cooper''s substitution intention.


    Jiukic played more like a scavenger, strengthened the defense in the restricted area, and at the same time relieved Albelda and Baraja¡¯s task of retreating deep into the restricted area. In this way, the double back can help more side defense, turn And let Mendieta and Gonzalez invest more in the wing offense.


    Valencia did not want to attack in the frontcourt in the middle, but attacked by the side.


    Aldrich did not make any adjustments, the opponent Aimar came off, Gattuso was also liberated, can help defend the side, depending on the situation, his physical strength is enough to cover the lateral coverage.


    Seeing half played in the second half, Millwall still did not score, and the team''s offense became more and more fierce.


    In the 72nd minute, Nedv¨§d forced the ball to squeeze away Albelda, and a long shot with a strong foot came.


    Nedved saw that the goal was not even close, and closed his eyes and sighed.


    Today is really evil.


    No matter how you shoot, the ball just doesn''t fly into the door.


    The ball that can fly to the goal is blocked by the blocked eye of Canizares or Valencia players.


    Aldridge also cursed his mother on the sidelines.


    This situation is too bad for morale. If the team is not strong enough, it may be self-destructive if they fail to score goals. Millwall''s team is not so vulnerable.


    In the 77th minute, Ronaldinho found a pass from the left to the middle and couldn''t find the pass. He drew the ball all the way away from Alberda and Baraja. In front of Gonzalez, he directly plugged the penalty area Larsson scored the ball diagonally. He couldn''t get the right foot to shoot, and he couldn''t find the pass. There was Pellegrino in the front and Kaboni in the back.


    In front of Pellegrino, Larsson spiked the ball and tried to pull out some space to pass or shoot. As a result, Pellegrino blocked him a step slower and stepped on Larsson''s foot. At last, Larson fell into the penalty area.


    A whistle sounded, the referee''s finger took a penalty, a penalty was awarded to Valencia in the penalty area, a penalty!


    "Larson was fouled in the penalty area and Millwall got a penalty! The penalty was uncontroversial. Slow motion replays. Pellegrino did steal the ball and stepped on Larsen''s foot."


    The Valencia fans of Mestalla stopped working and booed in the stands to protest the referee''s penalty.


    The referee ignored the protests from Valencia players, and the protagonist Pellegrino did not go up to defend. He knew whether the action was a foul, and he stepped on Larsen''s foot.


    Millwall''s players seemed relieved and almost attacked the audience. Now, they finally see the light.


    The first penalty in the team handed him up to the penalty spot. He faced Canizares, who played the game in this game.


    The boos in the stands continued, and Valencia fans made as much noise as possible to disturb Larson.


    However, Larson was very calm, opened the distance to run and prepared to take the penalty.


    If this goal can be scored, Valencia''s efforts in the whole game will be in vain. They can''t win at home and have given Millwall an away goal. Their next visit to London is a nine-death situation.

 Chapter 604： Resentment

    Aldridge took a sip of a bottle of mineral water while Larson was standing in front of the penalty spot, and then quietly stared at the penalty area of ??Valencia.


    Canizares bowed slightly expressionlessly to save.


    Larson felt calm.


    The opponent''s goalkeeper played extremely bravely today, almost as if he was a god.


    Will this penalty have a magical effect in the middle?


    Larson instantly denied this idea.


    At this stage, physical fitness has reached the limit stage, and the technical actions may not be perfect. If he pursues the limit angle, it is easy to fly.


    Larson made a decision, and after the referee''s whistle sounded, his eyes firmly started to run.


    He wants to kick to the upper right of the goal. As long as it is not the half-height that is most easily blocked by the goalkeeper laterally, Larson is confident. After all, the goalkeeper also has the influence of whether the left and right hands are used or not. The right hand is so deft.


    With a bang.


    Larsson kicked out the penalty kick. After finishing the shot, Larsson looked at the direction of the ball flight and grasped one more point in his heart. The technical action was completed very well. The force area of ??the ball is large, and the sound knows this foot. How powerful the ball is.


    In the blink of an eye, Larson''s eyes were full of shock!


    Canizares flew diagonally off the ground with his feet as if he was frozen in his eyes.


    The picture seemed to advance frame by frame, Canizares stretched out with his left palm, and the half palm area was exactly on the path of the football flight trajectory.


    Larson almost exclaimed: Are you still human? !


    boom!


    The Mestalla Stadium is like an explosion, and the stands are not cheering anymore, it is almost insane!


    Canizares blocked the ball with his left palm, but Larson shot too hard. He slightly changed the trajectory of the ball and the ball flew diagonally above the crossbar and out of the baseline.


    Larson didn''t stand firmly after his effort. He knelt down before the penalty spot, closed his eyes reluctantly, and bowed his head in a face of self-blame.


    After Canizares got up from the ground, the whole person spread his arms like crazy and roared!


    Ten other Valencia players rushed to the goal to hug Canizares, they now completely forget the exhaustion and pressure, and they are all together!


    The old friend Nedved, who fought side by side, was the first to walk up to pick up Larson without saying a word, just patting his shoulder, Ronaldinho, Henry also patted his back.


    No one comforted or dismissed Larson.


    What a joke?


    Need comfort?


    Isn''t it a penalty?


    Will Larson, who is setting the record for the best shooter in the history of Millwall Club every month, be knocked down by a penalty kick?


    This is not even a blow.


    The two coaches had different expressions on the sidelines. Cooper was not too excited. Instead, he was relieved and escaped with a fluke.


    Aldridge raised his head blankly, seeming to admit his fate.


    This is not the case, Aldridge just noticed a change in the atmosphere of the stadium.


    Canizares succeeded in scoring, igniting Mestalla''s passion.


    In the stands, no matter whether they were worried or praying before, fans of the Bat Legion are not thinking about them now.


    Millwall is strong, not just strong from the outside world, to really watch their game up close, and to overview the situation on the court. As an audience, they know the power of the mad lion, not only the oppression caused by the outside world. Power seems to suffocate the fans, not to mention the players on the field?


    This is the case, the fans of the Bat Legion are more relieved of the psychology of suffering.


    Their beloved team is using their flesh and blood to block the opponent''s offense, and is desperately trying to win!


    It doesn''t matter if you lose in the end!


    Nothing, nothing, can stop us from going crazy for the Bat Legion at this moment!


    Aldridge can even see fans with crazy expressions in the stands doing exaggerated body movements, and the sound of the cheering cheering is comparable to thunder.


    Aldridge turned around and gestured to Jenson.


    At this time, if you don''t do anything to suppress the momentum of your opponent and your opponent''s fans, then the remaining minutes of the game are completely meaningless.


    It is no exaggeration to say that Millwall is contending with the entire Mestalla stadium!


    Just like they competed with 19 other teams in the Premier League, no matter what level of team, they hope to bleed on Millwall to prove themselves, or, fame!


    Millwall is like a dragon in mythology, harvesting trophies mercilessly, occupying everyone''s dreams, the three teachings and nine ranks, regardless of strength, all want to be the dragon slayer to break the mad lion!


    "Milwall seems to be making a substitution adjustment. Klose stands on the sidelines and prepares to play. Who will Hall replace? Henry? Or Larsen who just missed a penalty? Wow, Hall Klose replaced Gattuso, withdrew a midfielder, and then a striker! It seems that Millwall didn''t stop without taking away goals. This is really a crazy substitution."


    Although judging from the comparison of the number of offenses and defenses between the two sides, Millwall will not be at a disadvantage in the number of defenses when he is another forward, but there is also a decisive factor that makes Aldridge''s substitutions very risky: space!


    When Valencia counterattacked, the frontcourt was almost flat. If Zambrotta and Schneider could not catch up with the defense, then even if Southgate and Materazzi were double defenders, they must mark the other forward. When one person goes to the defense side, 2 hits 2 and the space is huge, even the top defensive players may not be able to stop the opponents from playing with the penetration defense.


    Klose''s appearance is a signal to unify the team''s thinking and not be disturbed by the atmosphere of the court.


    This stadium is crazy, completely crazy.


    What kind of fans haven''t you seen before?


    Especially the lunatics in the stands are not uncommon.


    A man who is crazy can ignore it.


    Tens of thousands of people in the whole stadium are insane at the moment. It really looks like they are in a cave, surrounded by inverted bats with walls on their heads.


    In the restricted area of ??Valencia, there was no water. After Klose played, Millwall played more abundantly, and he could threaten multiple points in the cross.


    Long shots, personal breakthroughs, coordination, crosses, headers, supplementary shots after creating chaos, Millwall created another four goals in 6 minutes, but the result was still ineffective.


    When the injury stoppage time arrived, Valencia got a once-in-a-lifetime chance to counterattack. Mendieta directly abandoned the side and walked, seeing the big air when the ball was sent to the left by a diagonal pass to Gonzalez. Advance amount.


    Schneider gritted his teeth and chased back. After Gonzalez took the ball, the distance between the two shortened step by step.


    Seeing that Schneider was about to catch up, Gonzalez took a risky pass and straightened the ball behind him. His pass penetrated between Materazzi and Southgate, and he was looking around from Materazzi. Go to Southgate and then Sanchez rushing forward from the side.


    Palyuka abandoned the door this time, Southgate and Sanchez on the road, both of them have to pull the jersey each other, which slowed down each other''s speed.


    In the penalty area line, Palyuka fell to the ground and hugged the ball into his arms. He just fell to the ground and hugged the ball. Sanchez and Southgate were killed together. Southgate avoided hitting Palyuka and jumped forward. After tumbling to the ground, Sanchez barely stretched his foot to reach the ball in Palyuka''s arms, and he himself fell to the ground.


    Mestalla''s bat fans put pressure on the referee to want an unintended penalty.


    Palyuka stood up and threw the ball to Materazzi, who then passed it back to Pirlo, who responded to the retreat. At this time, Palyuka turned back and raised Sosgetra, if there was no request Sgate interfered with Sanchez all the way and said that Palenca and Sanchez would not be allowed to touch the ball first.


    Sanchez stood up and raised his arms in protest at the head referee, and then pulled his jersey to signal that the opponent committed a foul while defending.


    After getting up, Southgate slowly walked forward with a sullen face, crossed Sanchez, and put the defense forward. If the ball flew back at this time, Sanchez was offside.


    Millwall is still struggling to attack in the final stages of stoppage time.


    After Schneider''s side pass, Klose ran to the front and nodded the ball. Henry glanced behind the goal to see the excellent position of Henry''s swinging volley, but Klose''s header ferry, the speed of the ball was slow In the end, Henry failed to finish the shot and Ayala took the jump before him and took the top of the ball.


    At this time, the whistle sounded at the end of the game, and Henry''s swinging legs ended. After the legs landed, he kicked up and kicked on Valencia''s goal post.


    "In the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals in Mestalla, Valencia won the defending champion Millwall 1-0 in 90 minutes! The goal was Gonzalez. Lencia only scored 4 shots and scored 3 times and scored a goal. Millwall played a jaw-dropping stat. They completed a total of 32 shots and 17 shots within the goal range, but Without a goal, Larson also missed a penalty. This is a game where the fantasy process is completely impossible with scores. Millwall has the advantage, but it is difficult to get a goal! Fortunately, the defending champion still has 90 Minutes, Valencia wants to advance, and there are still 90 minutes of games waiting for them. The current situation is still 55. It is difficult to say who has the first chance. Well, we can now look forward to the two sides in London in a week. Round 2 clash!"


    Cheers broke out in Mestalla, Zambrotta kicked the ball into the air, like the epitome of Millwall''s game, helpless, resentful!


    The away team fans from afar are a little ignorant.


    If the team is indeed in a bad state, playing poorly, not taking advantage of the scene, and losing the game, then they can also accept and complain at most.


    But after the 90-minute game, after watching the whole process, the fans of the crazy lion were speechless and did not know what to say.


    In the end, they could only applaud.


    Both praise the scene and momentum of Millwall''s oppressive offense in today''s away game, but also show respect for their opponents.


    Valencia won the game, no matter how passive the scene, they won, and Canizares, who is impeccable in performance, is worthy of everyone''s applause for today''s performance.


    Aldridge turned and walked into the player''s channel after the game whistle. His footsteps were stable and his expression was slightly bitter.


    After the Valencia players celebrated each other on the court, they wanted to find Millwall players to exchange their jerseys, but Millwall players also left the court quickly after the game without a word or a gloomy face.


    Damn, this ball played too much to make them angry.


    They lost even the clue of losing the ball.


    Who has problems playing?


    Basically not.


    The 17-foot shot hit the goal range, not concentrated on one or two players, but spread out, Nedved, Larson, Henry, Ronaldinho, Pirlo, at least have 4-foot shots.


    Valencia¡¯s defensive strategy announced that it is impossible for opponents to get an absolute single-handed opportunity. Like Henry was shot after a goalkeeper was destroyed, Larson missed a penalty. This is definitely the best opportunity, but other people¡¯s shots, At other times, maybe 3-4 have been scored.


    Lose nothing to say, only suffocated resentment.

 Chapter 605： The boss is naughty again

    After the game, the visiting team''s locker room.


    Aldrich leaned his arms around the door, and the players walked in one after another. They sat silent in the chair, and there was only a heavy gasp in the locker room.


    When Millwall generally loses or is tied by an underdog, they are naturally in a bad mood, and no one wants to speak after the game.


    However, if it is defeated technically or tactically, the senior players after the game will actively initiate exchanges within the team, learn lessons, and make insufficient improvements.


    What can be exchanged for today''s defeat?


    If you want to have a shot, the defense is basically okay. Except for Karuna''s "false stop", Valencia made a sneak attack, and the other three shots for the opponent were all barely kicked by Valencia and threatened. Very small, it can be said that they are very successful in limiting their opponents'' counterattacks.


    Referring to Valencia''s fierce play in La Liga and being able to crush the Bat Corps in Mestaria without breathing power, Millwall''s only goal is to score.


    After the players calmed down a little bit and recovered from the excitement of the game, Aldridge spoke.


    "We canceled the summary meeting for this game. You take a shower and change your clothes now. We set off home and forget about this game. One thing to remember is that after a week, we will advance to the semifinals at the Lion King Stadium."


    After talking lightly, Aldridge turned to open the locker room door and went out. He also had to attend the post-match press conference.


    In the locker room, Southgate and Nedved first stood up, took off their jerseys, prepared to take a shower and then changed their clothes, and other players silently took off their wet jerseys and did post-game procedures step by step.


    In general, Millwall will have a post-match summary meeting, which is usually to improve the player''s awareness of the game. Aldridge opened the meeting and canceled the summary meeting of the game. The reason is very simple and has no summary value.


    They restricted Valencia to perfection on the road. Gonzalez¡¯s goal can only be said to be an accident. Anyway, Aldridge does not believe that the goal is a "premeditated" goal, and he will not put the blame on it. Materazzi''s head, even if Materazzi thinks that losing the ball is related to him, Aldridge feels that changing to a defender of the level of Nesta, it may not be expected that Karu''s ball club will be the kind of development trajectory. .


    What Audridge needs players to do is to forget this game as soon as possible. The more they remember, the more they will let themselves fall into the magic barrier, deliberately amplify Valencia''s defensive ability, and combat self-confidence, which may cause short-term psychological shadows, especially For the offensive players, it will make them hesitate when shooting: in the end, can this shot be entered?


    Players must have a firm belief in promotion. There are still 90 minutes in the game. The gap is just a ball. As long as confidence is not destroyed, fate is still in their own hands!


    Cooper accepted the post-match interview before Aldridge. He said that Valencia had achieved an extremely difficult victory. When commenting on the game, he emphasized that this is the transformation of Valencia¡¯s spirit into a victory in the field. For the next round of prospects, Cooper Not to mention it, maintaining a sense of mystery, it seems that Millwall will be surprised at the Lion King Stadium.


    In fact, the outside world does not have to guess what gesture Valencia will take in the next round.


    They can only play anti-reversal. At home, they will fight this way to the end. Can they expect them to become unrestrained in their posture?


    When Aldridge came to power, the reporters at the scene were shocked, and many people teased their eyes, waiting for the good show to be staged.


    Aldrich didn¡¯t wait for the reporter to ask questions after sitting down. First of all, he said: "Today I have a tight schedule, so if you have any questions, ask them one at a time and I will answer them again."


    As soon as the words fell, Aldridge glanced at the reporter with a smile on his chin with one hand.


    The reporters looked at each other. Aldrich played big enough!


    If you win the game and play big names, we can attack you for your low quality.


    But Millwall is losing now.


    Don''t look at his gentle temperament, but he''s actually not mad.


    Some reporters from England thought about it and understood that Audridge intended.


    Divert attention.


    I¡¯m afraid he can¡¯t wait for tomorrow¡¯s front page headline to be ¡°Millwall¡¯s away goal and a small loss, no one in Hall after the game! "In this way, both the outside world and the team''s information from the media has deviated from the game itself.


    Many non-British reporters at the scene shook their heads, sneered, and some stood up and left the scene.


    With the first one, there is the second one, with almost a dozen media reporters leaving one after another.


    They used this approach to fight back against Aldridge as a response to Aldridge¡¯s lack of respect.


    The relationship between football reporters and clubs is indeed dependent on each other. Sometimes, in order to run the news, the reporter is the relatively weaker party.


    But today this occasion is a post-match press conference stipulated by UEFA. The backstage is UEFA. As the coach, Audridge is obliged to attend. The reporter can appear here after obtaining the qualification to interview.


    Everyone owes nothing to each other and has equal status.


    I ask you a question, it is my freedom.


    The answer or not is your freedom.


    Between question and answer, there is an equal relationship with each other.


    Aldrich said that he asked reporters to ask questions one by one, and he finally answered them all at once, which was a bit of contempt for the established rules, as if they were dominating the scene and overriding the reporters.


    As if, everyone lined up to wait for him with stars.


    According to some senior reporters who do not understand Aldridge, Aldridge is now like a spoiled child.


    It¡¯s normal for the team to lose the game, but it¡¯s normal to be in a bad mood, but at least have the right demeanor?


    Don''t look at Aldridge''s smile, but he said that wayward and rude, but it looks slightly better than Sapo.


    These senior non-British media reporters left and retired one after another, silently conveying a signal: Sorry, you want to play big names, yes, we do not wait.


    Aldrich always kept his chin in a harmless smile, and the UEFA press officer was embarrassed. He was embarrassed and there was nothing he could do.


    There were many reporters who did not leave the audience.


    Those big-name reporters can leave the scene freely, some people can''t, after all, they still have to eat.


    Reasonably self-consolation, now at least one unexpected news material is available, and then listen to Audridge''s post-match interview, then go back and you can make a difference.


    Both the Fleet Street reporter and the Spanish reporter did not leave.


    Most of the reporters on Fleet Street smiled bitterly.


    Let the young master succeed again!


    At such a critical stage in the Champions League quarter-finals, Oudrich opened a group mocking mode, actively attracting media attention, reducing the pressure of the team, especially the players, as to offend other European media reporters, this is a fart, anyway, those The media also reported Millwall.


    Spanish media reporters are waiting to mock Aldridge.


    Lose, you lose so much!


    Millwall really deserves to be the first team hated by strong teams in Europe!


    "Okay, let the questions begin. If no one has any questions, then I will leave."


    Aldrich changed his posture, leaned back in his chair, and smiled.


    At the beginning, there were reporters asking questions, one question after another, some purely difficult, and some concerned about the game itself.


    "After the draw of the quarterfinals, Millwall''s voice for the finals is very high. After losing in Valencia today, as the team''s head coach, how likely is it that Millwall will reach the final?"


    "Whether Millwall lost today is because you are too big. In the past, Millwall used defensive counterattack tactics when playing away from Europe, but today used a radical attack. Valencia defeated you with a defensive counterattack. Is it because of a mistake in your tactical choice?"


    "From winning Valencia 4:0, to losing Valencia 0:1 today, less than a year, is Millwall''s strength reduced, or is Valencia''s strength improved? We noticed that Millwall is in The situation of the Premier League has also become difficult, and the domestic cup is also out early."


    "Can you comment on the game? Valencia only got 4 shots in the game, but Millwall had 32. It is hard to believe that the final score will be 1:0."


    ...


    After the reporters finished asking, Aldridge opened his mouth with a half-truth and a playful tone: "This is Spain, Valencia, we are playing at the Mestalla Stadium, maybe, the patron saint of bats to Mestalla The stadium has magic, hehe."


    His opening suddenly dissipated the invisible atmosphere at the scene.


    Many reporters smiled knowingly.


    In all fairness, watching the whole game, even **** bat fans, will feel that Valencia has won a lot of luck.


    Millwall''s goal post beam hit a basket, and Canizares and several players were absolutely phenomenal in front of the door.


    Even at the penalty moment when everyone thought good luck ended, Millwall still failed to break the goal.


    "Valencia''s performance is impressive and worthy of respect. They deserve to win. Some of you just asked me what I think of Valencia''s defensive counterattack tactics. I can only say that today, they won, that''s all. Conversely, someone asked if Millwall had the wrong tactical choice. My answer is no. We performed very well today. We just missed an unexpected goal. It was regrettable that we failed to score. The match is full of confidence. Does anyone doubt that Millwall has no solution to Valencia''s defense?"


    Aldridge rarely criticizes the opponent¡¯s tactics, although the reality is that if Millwall also plays a defensive counterattack, then the scene of this game will become very boring, he is not pursuing the scene, but Millwall can put Offensive play is very threatening, there is no need to play defensive counterattack, what is lacking is scoring.


    If this game goes back one year and is played in the finals, Aldridge may not be able to withstand such a brutal realistic blow, and Canizares can definitely fight against the gods, but this kind of game is absolutely impossible to stage continuously. During a fight, Valencia''s mentality, the two teams are in a new environment, under different conditions, Audridge does not believe that he can play a game that Millwall seems to be cursed.


    Hearing Aldridge''s answer, the Spanish reporters offstage showed a disdainful smile.


    Football is a magical sport, a sport that uses results to demonstrate the process.


    The game was won, and the game was reverted back to the rematch. The process was absolutely correct, especially the tactics adopted by the head coach.


    The game lost, no matter what the situation or the situation, it was unbearable, it is difficult to overturn the absolute "truth" impact of the result.


    As long as he can win, the ugly incomparable bus can also be praised by kings.


    Can''t win, gorgeous and dazzling will only be left out of the corner.


    Aldridge played a big name after the game, and after an interview, he joined the team and returned to London.


    The next day, it turned out that many media criticized Aldridge''s behavior after the game and even suggested Aldridge to see a psychiatrist.


    Millwall''s defeat became the second. Aldridge succeeded in decompressing the team. During restorative training, Schneider secretly laughed with his teammates: the boss is naughty again!

 Chapter 606： belief

    The "arrogant" posture at the Audridge press conference made him a thorn in the eyes of reporters. Negative reports about him were surging. In addition to England, other mainstream European media are attacking the incomparable young handsome.


    He mocked that he had reached a point where he could not afford to lose, and his mental state had changed drastically.


    Some professional journalists on Fleet Street have published articles with different views, not to mention the controversy with their European counterparts, but express a point clearly: this is the situation that Aldridge wants most.


    That''s right, he is on the cusp of the storm, becoming a controversial figure.


    At the same time, the negative impact of Millwall''s loss has been minimized.


    This is where Aldridge is "sly".


    When the team goes smoothly, he will focus on praising the players, talking about the performance of the players, and giving credit to all the players.


    But when the team is in adversity, he will actively attract the attention of the outside world, no matter what way!


    Talk about the referee, the environment, the schedule, or simply throw yourself into the whirlpool of public opinion.


    He didn''t care, but he gave the team a quiet space. His attention was not distracted, reducing the pressure from the outside, and the team passed the adversity in a unified way.


    The Fleet Street Journal reporters agreed that Aldridge raised the standard definition of good coaching.


    The job of the head coach is simple, winning.


    But today won does not mean that the next game can be won. Once the state of many teams declines, it may be affected for several consecutive games. The ability of the head coach cannot be seen from the appearance, and Aldridge uses his own way to do his best. Possibly to serve victory.


    Like he criticized the FA''s schedule problems after a draw with Arsenal in the first half of the league, he arranged a focus of a strong dialogue on the league game day that followed the FIFA game day. The FA fined ¡ê5,000. What did it get in return?


    The focus of the outside world is whether there will be a war between Aldridge and the FA, rather than why Millwall failed to win Arsenal. The media is busy reporting Aldridge¡¯s remarks and disguised the Millwall team in disguise. Its own research and analysis further criticizes negative reports such as criticism.


    The situation is similar now. European media are reporting arrogant and arrogant demands after the Audridge game, lacking respect for journalists, what did they get in return?


    Millwall steadily weathered the negative impact of the away defeat. After the weekend league game finished, what happened last week is that it has been overwhelming. The external pressure cannot fight the morale of Millwall within the first time. Let them recover quickly and effectively, and prepare for the next victory, rather than the persistence of the haze.


    Fleet Street believes that Aldrich¡¯s approach is what many coaches lack. Too many coaches are addicted to team training, tactical arrangements, etc., but they lack the protection of the team when the team is in adversity. When a defeat is ushered in, the head coach must say something to distract the outside world and avoid being focused by the outside world to form a vicious circle.


    Aldrich¡¯s approach is not the only one. Many outstanding coaches talk about the topic of their own team¡¯s performance after a major game loss, but the referee¡¯s penalty.


    Offside is not offside, should a penalty be awarded, should the opponent get a red card or something.


    Some punished TV viewers can tell at a glance. Can these coaches read it again and again?


    It¡¯s not that you don¡¯t understand it, you just have to say that, shift the focus of the outside world and avoid negatively affecting your team.


    On the weekend, Aldridge led the team to visit the Villa Park Stadium. In this game, Millwall did his best. Aldridge just adjusted the rhythm of the team and let the players keep playing. The focus is to seize the opportunity and avoid wasting.


    Aston Villa also has the hope of advancing to the UEFA Cup next season. At home against the defending champion who has just returned from the Champions League defeat, they want to take advantage of the fire and attack from the first minute of the game.


    Millwall deliberately recycles today, saves energy, and prepares for the next battle. Aston Villa seems to be the more dominant side of the game, but they have not created an absolute scoring opportunity. The expressiveness kept the door open, Millwall seized one of two rare opportunities to rewrite the score, Henry scored twice to help the team get an away victory.


    In the same round, Manchester United beat Charlton at Old Trafford and continued to be second with a one-point disadvantage.


    Ferguson and Aldridge ceased a tacit agreement. Both teams ushered in a key battle. Millwall lost to Valencia in the first round. Manchester United also lost in the first round to Bayern Munich. At this time, Manchester United and Mill Wall, no one will be fine to look for things in the league and play psychological warfare, concentrate on preparing for the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals.


    Starting from the preparation for the second round of training, a lot of fans gathered on the periphery of Leo training base to cheer the team up, and the fan organizations also took action, drawing new giant banners ready for use in the game, new slogans, songs, cheering Ways, etc., relying on the community to survive the club, the strong heritage will always come from the support of fans, not how glorious history.


    Fans want to create an unprecedented atmosphere of horror at the Lion King Stadium to welcome the Bat Army!


    On the morning of the game day, Aldridge stood honestly in front of the mirror in the bedroom closet. Yi Wen helped him organize his suit, straightened his tie, looked up and down, and nodded contentedly.


    Aldridge smiled bitterly: "You should know that the game is at night."


    "Ok, I know."


    Aldrich shook his head, kissed her, and left.


    Ewen walked into Burt and Earl¡¯s room. The two little guys sat on the floor playing with digital puzzles. She crouched down to see the two little guys. Burt put a circle and formed a zero. Earl put a "3" figure on the digital building blocks.


    "Ha, are you saying that Millwall will win the game 3-0 tonight? If Dad knew, he would be very happy."


    Yiwen smiled like a flower, but Burt and Earl did not respond. It is estimated that they did not understand what Yiwen said, and it was a bit esoteric for them.


    ...

 ~： The second round of the game started in less than 15 minutes.

    The lights of the Lion King Stadium were shining, and the stands were almost full of spectators. At first glance, there were dense cheering slogans floating on a blue sea. On the main stand, a giant portrait was passing, and a lion roared above. The front portrait, sharp teeth, crazy eyes, and hair like needles are both majestic and full of shock.


    Everywhere in the stands, people saw the waving of the Millwall flag and shouted, and a voice rang through the sky.


    "Milwall! Mad Lion!"


    "Milwall! Mad Lion!"


    The fans of the Bat Legion who came to the road are not opponents at all. Just as the momentum they made at home can suppress Millwall fans, now the feng shui turns, and when they arrive at Millwall''s site, they will not be in the limelight.


    Since the players on both sides warmed up on the field, Valencia players have been shocked by the cheering momentum of this stadium. The tradition of the English stadium is that the stands are close to the stadium, making the fans cheering more impactful. The Lion King Stadium is more than 50,000 mad The cheering shock brought by the Lions fans was enough to surprise the Valencia players.


    In the locker room, Millwall''s players did not speak, and many people closed their eyes and lowered their heads. They had already sorted out the equipment such as jersey shoes, leg guards, and now they were just adjusting their emotions to make themselves excited.


    Aldridge was sitting in the middle of the locker room and accompanied the team to adjust his mentality. He didn''t say a word, but he was here so that all players could not ignore his existence. Thinking of him, he thought of the distance that everyone walked together.


    "We don''t need to prove anything, we are the best team, we can ignore all the outside voices now, and focus on only one thing: write our own history. As long as we work hard in this direction , Nothing can stop us, no! Okay, now, Millwall, go!"


    Looking at the time, Aldridge made a pre-war mobilization.


    He got up and opened the locker room door and walked out. Larson followed, and when the players came to the player''s passage like a long dragon, Valencia players were already standing next to them and ready to play.


    There is nothing to communicate between the players of the two teams, and this life-and-death battle is about whether they can reach the semi-finals of the Champions League, saying that there is no pressure that is definitely a lie.


    Southgate, who stood at the front of the team, suddenly turned around and yelled, "Milwall."


    The players immediately shouted in unison: "Chong Chong Chong!"


    Southgate turned around and turned away, but Nedved suddenly shouted, "Milwall."


    "Chong Chong Chong!"


    Larson did the same. The three captains called on the team to scream their constant slogans. Everyone seemed to shout out all the pressure of the game. While relieved, from the inside out, the body began to be excited from psychological changes. Arise, everyone''s eyes are sharp, as if shining with fierce light, the fighting spirit is surging!


    The players of Valencia stared at the group of exotic flowers with wide eyes.


    Is it whispering in the player channel that this is Millwall''s home tradition?


    In the opening game of England, he used rough actions to give his opponent a dismounted horse to create psychological pressure on his opponent. Millwall disdaind to do so.


    Aldridge will not actively run like Xiang Shuai to greet the opponent. The bus welcomes the opponent to Anfield, intending to increase the mental pressure of the opponent.


    However, the team occasionally used the inspiring team inspiration to deter opponents at the beginning of the game. In the past, it was usually before the kick-off, on the court, and today, it has become a player channel.


    The referee started to enter the field, followed by players from both sides.


    The Champions League theme song echoed in the stadium, but the sound of music could not cover the cheering of the soaring momentum of the Lion King Stadium!


    When Valencia players lined up on the court, they suddenly had a strange idea: Why did it seem to have entered the beast''s den?


    Millwall''s team is full of fighting spirit, the fans in the stands create a huge home momentum, they are here more like a lonely squad that goes deep behind the enemy, calling Tian Ying should not call the ground unsound, the pair in the stands are full of Ling Ran murderous The eyes of them seem to regard them as a plate of lunch, and they will be swallowed up wildly by the whistle of the referee!


    "The second round of the Champions League quarter-final at the Lion King Stadium in London is about to start. The warring parties are Millwall and Valencia. A week ago, Valencia scored 1:0 at home with Gonzalez''s goal. After defeating the defending champion Millwall, today Millwall must score a goal to have the hope of advancing to the semifinals. If Valencia can keep the city gates intact, they will advance to the Champions League semifinals for the second consecutive year. We look at the starting lineup of both sides today, there is no change in Millwall... Valencia made an adjustment, Sanchez started, replacing Caru. The game starts immediately, who can enter this season after 90 minutes or 120 minutes. Let¡¯s wait and see!¡±

 Chapter 607： Throw trash in three minutes

    Lion King Stadium, home of Millwall.


    Millwall''s team is waiting for work, Valencia came to visit the game from afar, from the beginning of the game, Millwall will not give the opponent time to adapt to the field to enter the game.


    The pace of the game is very fast from the first second!


    Tempt?


    no!


    At the beginning of the 180-minute game, it was indeed a temptation to miss each other and lose the ball.


    In the 90-minute game, Millwall was only 0 to 1 behind the total score, and in theory there was also time for trial.


    However, Millwall, who has been tempered by countless top competitions, knows that if he takes the chance and thinks that the 0:1 gap can be reversed within 90 minutes, then the end result may be that he is blind and unable to return. day.


    Destroy all the thoughts of planning, since the total score is behind, then only one way is possible.


    After this game, a team was destined to advance, and a team fell down to the quarterfinals. From the first second, we will fight, either you died or I died!


    Valencia apparently did not enter the game without Millwall, and Millwall''s skillful short pass played so that they could only be exhausted to defend.


    In the 38th second of the game, Larson completed the first foot shot of the game, but unfortunately kicked off too hard.


    Aldridge applauded the players on the sidelines, the team was not in the state. At the beginning of the game, it could be seen through the player¡¯s running and passing and receiving. As long as it was not a problem with the team¡¯s own state, he did not believe that he could not win at home. Valencia.


    Even if Larson missed the shot and even the range of the frame was not hit, there was still a warm applause from the stands, and then the fans continued to shout "Milwall, Mad Lion!" to cheer.


    Canizares gestured to his teammates to stabilize when he kicked the kick!


    Millwall took a high pressure to grab, Valencia players did not dare to take the ball in the backcourt, and hurriedly passed the ball forward. Aimar learned from the previous experience. This game runs actively. As soon as it is found, it will be out immediately. The ball, never hesitating, nor trying to show his feet in front of Gattuso.


    Mendieta passed the ball in front of Zambrotta, and as soon as the ball went out, Mendieta called: Lost!


    Sanchez was running the anti-offside route. Mendieta''s ball was almost directly sent to Southgate''s feet. The latter kept the ball and knocked it to Materazzi. Materazzi did not stop the ball. Sweep the ball to the right.


    Schneider took the ball and rushed forward along the sideline. When he met Gonzalez, Schneider played with Pirlo twice. The speed continued without loosing. When he scored the ball again, he already passed the halftime. At the tip of the forty yard cordon, he was about to face Caboni and Gonzalez. He still chose to pass the ball or gave it to Pirlo.


    In front of Baraja, Pirlo kicked the ball and transferred the ball in seconds.


    Ronaldinho cut in from the left and rushed into the space between Albelda and Baraja. Pirlo''s pass arrived as scheduled. Ronaldinho wanted to straighten the ball immediately after touching the ball. He had already seen the inward preparation. De Verde, as a result, Albelda violently knocked Ronaldinho to the ground.


    The referee whistled and awarded Millwall a free kick.


    Ronaldinho slowly climbed up from the ground, Baraja stuck in front of the ball, wanting to delay Millwall free kick, there are teammates behind the wall.


    Pirlo stepped up and bent over to support the ball. Ronaldinho directly rushed from behind Baraja to the penalty area. Pirlo''s master was bold. When Baraja had not returned, his waist was not straight. Pirlo''s The ball was kicked out with the foot.


    Ronaldinho''s forward insertion shocked Valencia, who was setting up the defensive line. He attracted the attention of defensive players, but Ronaldinho was only a guise. He was covering his teammates.


    Nedved suddenly left unmarked in front of the penalty area. After receiving Pirlo''s ball, he turned sideways to face the goal, and he shot a long shot without hesitation.


    Canizares did not stand well. Suddenly facing Millwall''s long shot, he couldn''t save it, and he didn''t make any moves!


    The ball flew towards Valencia''s goal like a cannonball. The ball shot by Nedved was a straight line. The ball did not rotate in flight, as if it were a roaring lion.


    when!


    Lion fans at the Lion King Stadium are already nervous by the sound of football hitting the beam or goal post.


    This time, Nedved''s shot still hit the post.


    However, it hit the inside of the goal post and bounced into the goal!


    "3 minutes! 3 minutes! Millwall equalized the total score in the first 3 minutes. The goal scorer was Nedved! This is the goal of the Millwall flag character, which is proudly called by fans Since his return at the end of January, De Weide''s state has been improving. Recently, his state has returned to its peak. It was when Millwall needed him most. He came back! The wild lion blew Milwaus with an iconic long shot The horn of the counterattack, now, the total score is 1:1, Valencia''s last 90-minute effort was smashed in an instant!"


    The atmosphere of the Lion King Stadium quickly reached its climax. The fans roared, roared, and their expressions were fierce or excited, or they waved their fists in joy or madness, hugged each other, and then shouted the name of Nedved.


    A fluttering blond Nedved vibrated with his fists up and down in front of him, while screaming and running towards the sidelines. When he was surrounded by his teammates, they roared face to face.


    Aldridge''s heart jumped when he saw Nedved''s shot hit the post.


    Male Gobi, playing heartbeat again?


    Fortunately, this is London, the site of Millwall, the home of the mad lion!


    The doorpost is still the doorpost that was put there, and it is labelled Millwall!


    I have to say that this goal-post goal really frightened many people.


    If it is really turned away by the goal post, it is estimated that many fans of the crazy lion will think that Valencia came to London with the patron saint of bats.


    Cooper saw the team throwing the ball without expression.


    After defeating Millwall at home a week ago, the Spanish media boasted that Valencia had achieved an "epic victory."


    Full blow for a week.


    As a result, in 3 minutes, this "epic victory" can be thrown into the trash.


    Before the team reopened, Cooper made a pressure sign on the side of the team and shouted a few words to let the players on the field defend first and don''t panic!


    Valencia''s entire team did not expect to be tied for the total score in such a short period of time, and the two teams returned to the same starting line.


    None of them have entered the game yet!


    Listen to the coach, do a good job of defense first, inspire the state first, and then play well with the crazy lion.


    In the past year, I have experienced the Champions League all the way to the finals and regretted the experience of being runner-up. In addition to reaching the quarter-finals this year, Valencia¡¯s team¡¯s psychological quality has been at least tempered, and Millwall¡¯s victory is faster. Lencia lost the ball, but he will never be beaten and collapsed.


    Millwall was out of control. After Valencia reopened the ball, they immediately launched a tight defense, guarding each key point, and then carried out a high-pressure snatch. Valencia really did not have many ways to fight the frontal position. The frontcourt was small It may play a key role in playing with the mid- and downstream teams, or the outstanding personal abilities of the players, but in front of Millwall, in the case of one-to-one without any advantage, the offensive formation was cut by Millwall with a layered defensive position. Soon, Gonzalez couldn''t find the passing point and could only break through himself. After being caught inside by Schneider, he broke the ball.


    Schneider passed the ball directly to the front of the wing and passed it to Larsson''s feet. Larsson knocked Nedved forward and then turned forward. Nedved kept passing the ball and passed Larsson forward. In the area, Larson stopped the ball in front of Kaboni, pulled the ball horizontally and went inside, suddenly knocked back to the middle, followed by Pirlo to stop the ball, just passed the ball, he was put down by Baraja.


    The referee punished Valencia for a foul.


    Aldridge raised his right hand in protest on the side of the court.


    This was a good opportunity for Millwall to make a fast break. Pirlo was passed to Henry who pulled the ball from the back of the penalty area, and just before Henry received the ball, Nedvide and Larson were running into the penalty area. On the route, Ronaldinho also moved to the restricted area. Henry only needs to catch the ball, plug left and right, and return to Ronaldinho. The three options, no matter which one, may pose a huge threat.


    As a result, such a good opportunity was destroyed by the opponent''s foul.


    And the referee didn''t play cards, probably think that Baraja is a frontal defense, the action is not too special, and the game has just started.


    This time Baraja has learned his lesson. He still blocks in front of the ball. The distance between the foot and the ball is less than 20 cm. As long as Millwall dares to send quickly, he will definitely stretch his foot to block.


    Before Valencia''s goal drop, it was also related to their own mistakes.


    Perhaps it was just the beginning of the game, the players were under great pressure, and they just patrolled the wall while defending. When doing this kind of regular task, they ignored the marking, especially after being attracted by Ronaldinho¡¯s running, Nedved was completely empty. Only then gave Pirlo, who was indifferent to the fire, a chance to directly assist.


    With the lessons learned just now, Valencia not only prevented Millwall from taking a free kick, but other players also marked first. After all, Baraja stopped in front of the ball and Millwall couldn''t even shoot directly.


    After the frontcourt players are withdrawn, Valencia will put up the wall again, and at the same time do a good defensive man.


    As for Pirlo, complaining to the referee that Baraja blocked the ball to prevent him from kicking, Baraja pointed to the ball and explained to the referee: the opponent''s ball was not placed in the foul spot!


    This kind of **** is the most common on the football field.


    When the head referee quelled the verbal dispute between the two sides, the defensive side''s work was also prepared.


    The chance to open quickly is gone.


    Pirlo took the free kick. He chose to directly attack the goal. Naturally, he was going to punish a direct free kick that bypassed or penetrated the gap of the wall. Anyway, the direction in which the goalkeeper focused on defense was generally not effective.


    His free kick kicked off, the Valencia man''s wall jumped, someone hit the ball on the shoulder, and the free kick returned without success.


    Fans in the stands still gave Pirlo applause, anyway, as long as there was a shot, they applauded, applause.

 ~： The state of the two teams in the first round.

    Millwall furiously attacked, Valencia waited for the opportunity to fight back.


    When the total score becomes 1:1, it is only a matter of time before Millwall advances in such a situation. This is the idea of ??most viewers.


    Valencia strengthened the aggressiveness of the fight today, especially when Aimar, Mendieta and Gonzalez returned to the defense and fouled frequently.


    They can''t help it. Although it is not desirable to position the opponent, it is better than letting Millwall advance the attack into the penalty area to form a shot.


    Aldrich understood it. This was Cooper¡¯s targeted deployment. Mendieta¡¯s three were cannon fodder. It didn¡¯t matter if they ate the cards. As long as they weren¡¯t shown the red card, Valencia would accept it. Baraja and Al Belda tries to avoid eating cards. Once the double backs carry yellow cards, the defensive strategy must be adjusted.


    It''s understandable that Valencia kicked this way.


    He cares more about how Valencia intends to fight back today?


    In the last round, he scored 4 shots at home. Will Cooper ignore them?

 Chapter 608： Evil opponent

    Although Millwall scored an early goal to equalize the total score in this game, the scene also has an advantage, but the offense fluency is far worse than the previous one!


    The most obvious change is that the attack was damaged by Valencia with a foul.


    In the first 25 minutes, Millwall had a five-foot free kick that directly attacked the goal. Pirlo''s three-foot shot was blocked by the wall and his two feet flew to the stands.


    Aldrich has been watching the situation on the sidelines and has written down every detail of the game.


    Valencia''s counterattack strategy today, gradually, he also figured it out.


    Unlike the last game of excessive pursuit of two wings, the side attack finally fell into isolation.


    Valencia has changed in the counterattack today.


    The key point is Aimar and the other side of the non-initiated offense.


    Taking Gonzalez as an example, when he launched an attack on the left and rushed forward, Aimar took the initiative to approach the left to form contact with him, and at the same time, Mendieta on the other side leaned toward the center to form a contact point.


    At this level of the game against Millwall, Valencia''s counterattack counts on the monotonous offensive means to open up the situation, which is a fool''s dream.


    For them to fight against other opponents, even some first-class teams, it is possible to directly blow the opponents unilaterally to form the threat of the last blow or the last pass, but playing Millwall, determined to go to the black side, then It will really hit the south wall with one head.


    Therefore, Valencia actually converted from two wings to a single-winged counterattack, focusing on one side in the counterattack, forming an advantage locally and creating opportunities.


    Valencia still has its own advantages under specific circumstances, such as their counterattack and large frontcourt space, which is the advantage.


    When Aimar squeezed on the same side with Gonzalez or Mendieta, Gattuso faced a choice whether to follow Aimar and also ran to the side, forming a defense with the full-backs teammate 2VS2, and even returned to the winger In the case of withdrawal, a bag is formed.


    Gattuso hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to guard the middle. As long as the opponent did not enter the danger zone inwardly, he only had to follow the opponent''s foremost point to advance and retreat, compressing the defensive space.


    Gattuso still has some fears. Players on the other side of the opponent will lean towards the center. If he loses position, the center will open wide and the defender will lose the barrier protection.


    Valencia played this way, testing the back defense ability of Millwall''s midfield players. They really can push the offense on the wing. Millwall alone can''t defend the other two players by relying on a full-back. The impact of the match, but this is only an offensive means. To end, Valencia obviously lacks a way to score.


    The offensive advances to the side of the big penalty area line, and then cooperates or breaks through the middle. Millwall''s full-back and central defender form a joint defense. Pirlo''s return may be a bit worrying, but Nedved retreats. , Absolutely reassuring.


    Aldrich had to look at Cooper after seeing Valencia''s counterattack routine.


    It can only be said that Valencia is out of luck. If Nedved does not return to his best condition or is still recovering from injury, then according to Millwall¡¯s tactical approach using Klose in the first half of the season, Valencia played like this Counterattack, the quality of Millwall''s midfield defense will drop by a grade. If Valencia puts more effort, Albelda and Baraja will assist each other. This flexible unilateral flying wing counterattack may be Can really penetrate Millwall''s defense. Of course, if Nedved cannot play, Aldridge will definitely add a defensive midfielder to strengthen protection.


    In the 34th minute, after Valencia counterattacked the pass and the ball was cleared by Materazzi, Gattuso controlled the outer landing, just after the ball was stopped, Aimar fouled, the referee greeted the lion king stadium to Ai Mal showed a yellow card.


    This is already the third foul of Aimar in the first half. Even in the front court, the tactical foul is not obvious. The referee still warned the opponent with a yellow card.


    Two minutes later, Henry was shot by Canizares into his arms, Valencia continued to counterattack, this time Gonzalez was cut off by Schneider on the side pass, Schneider led the ball forward, Gonzalez Reis tripped Schneider from behind and he was also shown a yellow card by the referee.


    Although Valencia''s counterattack is much better than the last game, at least the advancement area is closer to Millwall''s penalty area, but the chance of the last blow is still not created.


    This made their offensive players begin to become a little irritable.


    Millwall''s offense basically formed a shot from three dangerous offenses, but Valencia did not even have a shot.


    In the 42nd minute of the first half, Gonzalez and Aimar went all the way to the bottom, and then did not pass. Sanchez in front of the goal was completely stared. Aimar controlled the ball on the wing and put The ball kicked back and Gonzalez knocked across to Mendieta who moved to the middle.


    Mendieta saw that Millwall had a tight defense, there was really no room for passing, and he dared not control the ball too much, otherwise he would definitely be hit back if he lost the ball, and he simply took a long shot.


    The poor quality of this long shot makes people unable to look straight.


    He didn''t fly towards the goal at all, hit Materazzi''s leg at close range, and then popped the bottom line.


    "Valencia¡¯s attack today is exactly the same as the last time the two teams confronted each other. The counterattack that relied on survival could not pose any threat in front of Millwall. This gives us the illusion that it is only a matter of time before Millwall scores a goal. If you can¡¯t score, then Valencia must have gods."


    Valencia took a corner kick and they attacked with a corner kick. There were three people inside and outside the penalty area, Sanchez, Mendieta, and Baraja.


    Gonzalez played a tactical corner with Aimar, Schneider stepped forward to mark Gonzalez, Aimar ran out of back, and received a pass from Gonzalez to hang in the penalty area.


    The quality of the pass from his internal rotation is not high. The landing point is in front of the penalty spot, where only Baraha goes to grab a point.


    Palyuka moved his position and there were a lot of Millwall players in front of him. Even if Baraja had a header, there was not much angle.


    The fans in the stands of Lion King Stadium witnessed an incredible scene.


    Baraja didn''t touch the ball, the top shot was made, but it seemed that the neck was short, and the ball was passing in front of him. Then, the ball hit, um, it hit Gattuso''s head. , The flight path changes.


    Palyuka''s pupils shrunk, almost screaming: Without such a pit!


    The ball became a hanging goal and flew towards the dead end of the goal.


    Paljuka moved to save again, obviously late.


    Including Gattuso himself, all players in the Millwall restricted area turned to look at their gates in horror or blankly turned their heads.


    Wow!


    There was an uproar in the Lion King Stadium.


    "The goal has been scored! Valencia equalized the game''s score, 1:1, 1:1, they now lead Millwall with a total score of 2:1, and because of the guest goal advantage, unless Millwall can score two The ball wins, otherwise, Valencia will step on the defending champion and advance to the UEFA Champions League! This ball, this ball, should be regarded as an own goal. If no one touches Aimar¡¯s cross, he will definitely not score the goal and the ball will be Gattuso flew into his door, poor Gattuso, he might want to ask Baraja, why didn''t he get the ball?"


    Gattuso didn''t just want to question Baraja, he just wanted to beat him up!


    He and Baraja''s summit position is less than one meter, he is ready to turn his head and look at his door to see the result of Baraja''s summit, but the ball accidentally hit his head and became an impeccable Hang the door, hang Palyuka to death!


    This own goal not only made Valencia''s players seem to be set for two seconds, but even Cooper on the sidelines rubbed his eyes, wanting to make sure that he had no dazzling or hallucinations!


    Afterwards, Valencia''s players competed to celebrate. If they could not hug Gattuso, they would definitely go around and kiss him crazy one by one, and finally, they surrounded Aimar to celebrate.


    Cooper waved his arms excitedly, too **** surprised!


    How should the team attack, how to solve the opportunity to create the last blow, he racked his brain to think about the collapse of thinking!


    Well now, someone helped him solve this problem, it is their opponent, Millwall!


    With this away goal, as long as Valencia keeps the remaining time and is not scored by Millwall, then they will advance to the semifinals!


    The cheering that has been resounding throughout the stadium has stopped suddenly since the game, and the entire stadium has fallen into silence. The fans of Valencia cannot make much noise. Compared with before, it is now mostly mosquitoes.


    The crazy lion fan was stunned by this oolong ball.


    Everyone knows that the following situation is not optimistic, and the sudden blow made everyone feel like they were being poured into cold water.


    The Millwall team itself behaved as usual after losing the ball. Southgate said nothing, just walked behind Gattuso and patted his head, then pushed him forward as if to give him power .


    Aldridge suddenly raised his arms on the sidelines, his expression did not show loss or hit, and he walked back and forth indifferently, using limb movements to rejuvenate the court.


    The fans in the stands saw that their king was inspiring the atmosphere of the stadium and, without a word, they continued to shout and cheer for the team.


    Nothing else, cheer for the team, put pressure on opponents, never be stingy!


    Within half a minute, the Lion King Stadium returned to a hot atmosphere.


    Aldridge stopped moving and stood on the sidelines thinking.


    He suddenly felt that Valencia was a wicked team.


    What is wrong with Millwall''s defense? Basically no problem.


    The ball just now, Baraja¡¯s distance to the top is not a distance where the header is an absolute threat. In addition to the defender¡¯s blocking angle in front, even if he hits the top, the probability of scoring is very low.


    But just like the "false stop" cover of Caru in the first round, Balaha didn''t touch the ball and caused confusion, eliminating the task of teammates attacking, and simply let Millwall help them. The archer presented an oolong gift.


    The situation has become worse.


    1:1 to 1:1, this is a very different transformation.


    On the basis of 1:1, Millwall not only wants to win, but also wins at least 2!


    And Valencia''s situation is completely reversed, they will defend more firmly, before taking the risk to fight back, after 1:1, the offensive enthusiasm and investment should be further adjusted and decreased.


    It can be seen from Millwall''s re-kick-off that Valencia did not even have a half-time player, and striker Sanchez ran back to actively participate in the defense, draining the outside of the penalty area.


    The first half of the game soon came to an end, in response to Valencia''s strategy to further strengthen the defense, in the last few minutes, Millwall did not play a threat offensive.


    When the halftime whistle sounded, Aldridge wryly walked into the player''s tunnel.


    Conventional offensive methods will be difficult to play an excellent opportunity in the second half. Is it luck to watch players improvise?


    Aldridge recalled the details of the first half of the observation game, combed through each link, trying to find Valencia''s weaknesses or places that could be used.


    Before walking into the locker room, he suddenly stopped and raised his head without saying anything, "Will this work wonders?"

 Chapter 609： Artists are bold and red card!

    During the halftime break, in the locker room, Millwall players are communicating with each other. From the tone of their conversation, facial expressions, they can''t see any signs of anxiety or blows.


    It''s not that they haven''t fallen behind, and the game is not over.


    No one will have negative thoughts in their heads. On the contrary, they can only resolutely reverse their opponents'' determination and fighting will.


    Breaking intensive defense is a constant problem in the football world. Valencia is also the top three in the Spanish top league. In the past two years, the top ten teams in Europe. They have intensive defense and the fort is self-evident.


    Aldrich didn''t talk nonsense, just pulled the tactical board and fine-tuned the team''s tactics in the second half.


    This fine-tuning is based on Valencia''s changes after scoring an away goal. Valencia will be more conservative and more determined to fight back.


    The players listened carefully to Aldridge''s tactical adjustments, nodded all after understanding, and then cheered each other.


    In their football dictionary, there is no word "give up" at all.


    When he walked out of the locker room, Aldrich first explained to Pirlo. After listening, Pirlo nodded and walked out, then he stopped Ronaldo again.


    Ronaldinho glanced at the mysterious look of Aldridge''s god, and he just stopped talking. He saw that the Valencia players had also come out of the locker room. Aldrich seemed afraid of being overheard by his opponent.


    Ronaldinho grinned, and it was rare to see Aldridge''s cautious look, which was interesting.


    He raised his ears and leaned in, saying, "Boss, what''s the whisper, let''s say, I listen."


    Aldrich pushed his head away, and couldn¡¯t make him ¡°attach his ears¡± to make sure there was no one around him. After six words, Aldridge said a few words to Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho listened carefully and nodded. Road: "This is a good way, I will try it."


    Aldridge patted his back and the two walked out of the player channel together.


    The cheers of the Lion King Stadium went up instead of falling. A small group of enthusiastic fans simply took off their jerseys and waved them in their hands, cheering for the crazy lions with their face exposed.


    "Because Valencia scored an away goal, there will definitely be no overtime in this game. The time left for defending champion Millwall is only 45 minutes. Valencia advanced to the semi-finals and only watched the remaining 45 minutes. The fate of the second half of the game. From the formation of Valencia after the opening of the second half, they are determined to consume Millwall!"


    When Valencia controlled the ball, the Lion King Stadium rang with a harsh boo, in order to satirize their fear of investing in offensive forces.


    The entire Valencia team, from coaches to players, and even Bat fans in the stands, chose to ignore boos.


    0:1 to 1:1, with a total score of 2:1 leading, Valencia''s team is united in thinking, united in their ambitions, and firmly resolutely keep the victory.


    Ugly or anti-football, as long as you can advance to the semi-finals, the rest does not matter.


    Millwall''s offensive rhythm has been adjusted in the second half, which is a change made by Aldridge midfielder.


    When attacking from the midfield, the team''s rhythm is fast, but when there is no space and good time to penetrate forward, the team will slow down the rhythm before the opponent''s penalty area and patiently look for opportunities.


    Valencia strengthened the **** before the penalty area, but Millwall players'' super ball control force forced them to take fouls.


    In the 51st minute, Millwall won a direct free kick opportunity about 36 yards before the penalty area.


    Pirlo and Ronaldinho are standing in front of the penalty spot, Valencia put up a wall of people, do a good defensive man, wait for the lineup!


    Pirlo did not run, and he kicked all the free kicks in the first half. This time, Ronaldinho was replaced.


    Ronaldinho circled the instructions given to him by Aldridge, observed the situation, and then started running to hit the door.


    The ball flew up, looking at the trajectory to bypass the wall, but the ball was lifted by the wall of Valencia and the header was released.


    "Millwall has a lot of direct free kick opportunities today, but the quality of the shots is not high. Either they can¡¯t pass through the wall, or they cross the wall and rise above the beam. Pirlo failed to make a free kick. Now he changes to Ronald. Dinho, it seems that the effect is average. They should probably consider playing with a free kick and then playing together, so that at least it will have an unexpected effect."


    Time passed by one minute and one second, and Cooper stood on the sidelines looking shocked.


    Millwall is in a critical situation, but the players are orderly performing tactics on the court. There is no panic in the slightest, and the ball is calm and decisive.


    The psychological qualities of this opponent''s game are powerfully outrageous!


    However, under the pressure of Valencia, the kick became more and more frantic. Alberda received a yellow card in the first half. His foul in the second half was very dangerous.


    In the 59th minute, Henry pulled out of the penalty area to catch the ball from the back of the penalty area. After taking the ball horizontally, he was tripped to the ground by Baraja who was eager to break the ball. The referee awarded Baraja a foul and also showed him Gave a yellow card.


    Valencia has a yellow card on both backs!


    Henry stood up with pain and moved his ankle, showing a okay expression to Larson who was concerned about his situation.


    Valencia once again put a man on the wall to defend. This free kick is about two meters away from the penalty area and close to the right side of the goal.


    Canizares directs the wall to move and seals the near corner. This distance is relatively close. It is very difficult to play a ball that bypasses the wall and falls into the net. But the free kick in Millwall''s array is really scored. , You have nothing to say.


    Canizares moved to the other side and blocked the far corner of the goal.


    Ronaldinho stood in front of the ball again, and he stared at Canizares with a serious expression, as if to have a direct conversation with Canizares.


    In his mind echoed the words of Aldrich''s intermission, Ronaldinho''s eyes firmly run up, at the moment his foot touches the football, all the players in front of Valencia jumped over the crotch, trying to block the ball Flying over the head, bypassing the wall and flying towards the goal.


    But when they jumped, their expressions changed.


    Surprise, shock, fear, anger!


    Got fucked!


    Ronaldinho''s free kick did not fly, but ran forward against the turf very fast, just right, and rolled over from the feet of the jumping wall.


    Valencia''s players on the wall are all remorseful, and they are eager to make gravity more powerful!


    Put us down!


    When their feet landed, everyone turned around and turned to look at the goal.


    Their pupils shrunk, and they saw Canizares moving in a hurry to the corner of the goal and fell to the ground. His long arm with a strong momentum turned the ball out of the goal line.


    But it''s late!


    The ball rubbed the inside of the post and rolled into the goal. When Canizares reached his arm, the ball had already passed the line.


    The Lion King Stadium thundered on the ground, and fans of the mad lions waved their arms in the stands, and the cheers of the mountains and the tsunami shook all directions, as if attracted to the mountains!


    "Ronaldinho scored a classic free kick to break the goal! Although there is no bright spot in the free kick, Ronaldinho''s choice is full of imagination and creativity, absolutely making Unexpected! He actually put the ball into the goal with the ground ball. After the wall of Valencia jumped, it just let the ball roll under the foot! It was so wonderful, so incredible! 2:1, Millwall The game will once again lead the score, but the total score is still 2:2, Valencia leads by relying on the goal of guest goals, and the game is still half an hour away!"


    This ball silly all Valencia players. They stood looking at Ronaldinho like a monster.


    The goal is scored, and Ronaldinho''s reputation will definitely improve again.


    However, if the ball is not scored, such a kick, if there is no one to jump on the wall, this is a big joke, smashed!


    I have to say that Ronaldinho''s free kick broke the goal, which is a brave art.


    Ronaldinho jumped in place after seeing the goal. In front of Nedvide, he ran the goal and hugged the ball and ran back. Ronaldinho turned and celebrated with Pirlo high-five, and then erected towards the side of the Audric Thumb up, iconic action.


    Aldridge did not celebrate, but nodded and applauded the players in the court, shouting loudly to let them continue their efforts, especially the pressure on Valencia cannot be reduced.


    This free kick was indeed reminded of Ronaldinho during the intermission.


    Valencia fouled more today, and Millwall received more free kick opportunities.


    In the first half, Pirlo took the lead. Aldrich noticed a detail. Valencia''s wall will take off every time he defends. Try to expand the defensive area above the sky to avoid being over the top of the head by a free kick and falling into the goal.


    In the second half, Ronaldinho came to take the free kick. Aldrich told him that from a long distance free kick, he must hit a high-altitude drop shot and close range free kick. If the penalty point is biased to the side of the goal, observe the situation and choose the ball to play appropriately. Break at the corner.


    Ronaldinho has a trick to deceive the wall, but it is not an absolute free kick in Millwall, so he has not shown it before.


    Cooper saw the team lose the ball and looked nervous to let the replacement players warm up. He began to consider substitutions to strengthen the defense. Especially in Valencia, there are too many players with yellow cards on the court. There are scruples, and local flaws are prone to appear.


    Aldridge also let the bench players warm up. If he can''t score the third goal in the 70th minute of the game, he will have to die.


    The game became fierce, and even a bit tragic, Valencia''s half-time, smoke everywhere.


    Since Valencia''s score became 1:1 in the first half, they have cut back the counter-threatening counterattack. At this stage, the players who should have attacked have become difficult.


    I am afraid that my offensive investment has brought hidden threats to the defense line. If the offensive is not resolute, the consequence is that Millwall will attack more brazenly!


    In the 66th minute, Valencia made a clearance in the backcourt. The ball landed in front of Aimar. He took the ball from his back and his foot just touched the ball. Someone rushed up to steal from behind, and then stabbed his ball away. Gatto Cable!


    The violent wind Gattuso stretched his foot to break the ball and immediately rushed forward to instigate the attack. He just crossed Aimar, but he was stretched out and held his shoulder by the anxious heart. The center of gravity was unstable, and Gattuso stumbled to the ground. .


    The fans of the mad lions in the stands of the Lion King Stadium were indignant and stood up and pointed in the direction of Aimar. The pressure caused by the hustle and bust all accused Aimar of fouls!


    The referee stopped the game and walked towards Aimar step by step. At the same time, his hand reached into the pocket where the card was placed.


    Baraja rushed to block the explanation in front of the referee, pleading for Aimar, Aimar had a yellow card in the first half.


    Pirlo and Nedved were close to the incident. The two of them also approached the referee, indicating that Aimar was a tactical foul, and it was definitely not a first-time offense.


    Aimar kept raising his hands as if to make an innocent defense.


    The referee was about to draw a card, not counting Aimar''s foul in the first half. This was the third time in the second half, and the foul was too ugly.


    If you go to add a picture and hit the other party to destroy the attack, it''s just a matter of fact.


    The referee approached Aimar, who was selfless and pulled out a yellow card.


    Aimar snarled angrily, and then turned his head around his hands to make it difficult to accept.


    Behind him, the head referee continued to draw another color card.


    Hold high in the hand, the audience attention.


    Red card!

 Chapter 610： Awesome!

    "Valencia''s Aimar was sent off with two yellows and one red! This foul shouldn''t be right. What if Gattuso instigated the offense? It''s just that after just half the area, Aimar is still young and lacking Contest experience, in such a tense and intense game, he has many fouls that seem to be active defense, but it is completely unnecessary, but we think about the mental pressure of players at this time, we should understand Aimar, he is only 21 years old. "


    Cooper did not have a theory with the fourth official on the sidelines. To be fair, there was no controversy about the foul giving the yellow card. After all, he got started.


    At this time, if he goes to the referee team to protest, it is likely to shake the heart of Valencia, so that the players on the field see that the team has suffered injustice, grievance or repression, will make the team lose their minds.


    Cooper made an immediate substitution, Djukic played and replaced Sanchez.


    Valencia simply did not even need the striker, Mendieta is the team''s spiritual leader, the Basque tough guy must stay on the field, Gonzalez''s threat on the wing is necessary for the attack, but Sanchez is not getting firepower. In the case of transportation, it completely disappears on the field.


    In this way, Valencia really wants to fight back, relying on Mendieta and Gonzalez, praying that they can threaten, it must be a miracle in the outbreak of the small universe!


    No way, now it''s 10 to 11 and the scene is completely passive, and it''s absolutely wasteful to put the striker in line.


    Shangjiu Kic is also a kind of protection for the double backs with yellow cards.


    As long as Valencia does not concede the ball, holding on for more than 20 minutes, he will be able to get the top 4 tickets.


    Although Aimar was sent off, it was good, but Aldridge felt that there would be a lot of mistakes and Valencia¡¯s will would be more determined. In the formation, the front line was weakened and the back defense was strengthened. At the same time, the double back of the eaten card has To a certain extent, insurance has been strengthened.


    The referee has just sent off a player in Valencia. If this pair of midfielders fouls again, the referee is concerned about the situation. As long as the foul is not too outrageous, he will certainly be merciless!


    Aldridge called Klose in front of him and put his arm around his neck, let him look at the field and explain the current situation for him. Klose nodded frequently.


    With many years of coaching experience, when Aldridge conveyed instructions to the players on the spot, his words to analyze the situation on the field are very concise, and he can let the players understand at a glance. Only the players who send the game understand the situation and know how to play on the field. To play a good tactical role.


    In less than two minutes, Aldridge finished everything from analyzing the situation to arranging the task. Klose took the task to the game. In the applause of the Lion King Stadium, Materazzi was replaced and Klose Debut!


    Valencia withdrew a striker and Millwall withdrew a defender. Relatively, the number advantage made Millwall more dominant in this change.


    Aldridge loosened his tie and the game had reached the 70th minute.


    There are still 20 minutes to live and die.


    At this moment, he felt a little nervous.


    The sound of cheering from the fans of the crazy lion is still resounding in the sky. In the city of London under the moonlight, the sound from this stadium affects the hearts of people.


    Valencia defensive players occupy every field in the backcourt, defending tenaciously, and they have a negative and stubborn posture.


    Klose was playing in the middle of the penalty area after playing, but he was not at the forefront of the strike line, but stood between the Valencia defender line and the midfielder line to form a catching point, plus Henry erratic running Millwall did not deliberately pile up strikers in front of the opponent''s goal.


    Through leveled positions, Millwall almost completely controlled the area from the center line to the restricted area.


    Zambrotta and Schneider assisted, opened the sidelines as a response, and made full use of the width of the field to tear the opponent''s defense line, forcing the opponent''s defense line to make a swinging movement. Only when free, Millwall will definitely use it.


    Between 70 and 75 minutes, Millwall played a short pass, but the areas that could penetrate the opponent''s defense line were basically on both sides of the penalty area. The middle road could not be penetrated. The 45-degree angle shot, Henry and Larson Completed a total of 4 feet, 3 feet hit the goal range, the angle is not tricky, successively resolved by Canizares.


    After 75 minutes, Millwall started a long shot. In the front area of ??the penalty area, Klose and Henry pulled out a countermeasure, attracted the opponent''s double back, and gave Ronaldinho, Pirlo, Nedved to create a shooting space.


    Although two consecutive long-range shots hit the stands and the third shot hit the goal, Aldridge nodded on the sidelines and nodded in recognition of the team''s performance.


    Long shot is flying, not scoring, should I be disappointed?


    No, long-range shooting is a means and a cover, and it is a foreshadowing of tactical changes.


    His eyes were firm on the sidelines, as long as the team did not panic, he was not chaotic, and he forgot the passage of time. If he continues to play like this, he will definitely be able to penetrate Valencia''s defense.


    Take out all of our offensive methods we are good at!


    In the 80th minute, Ronaldinho made a long shot and nearly penetrated Canizares''s ten fingers. It shocked the cold sweat of the whole Valencia team and also made them realize that they cannot let the other party shoot such a long shot so brazenly!


    Nedved, Pirlo, Ronaldinho, and even Zambrotta and Schneider from the outskirts have a great shot.


    In the 81st minute, Gattuso assisted the defender and intercepted the ball from the foot of Mendieta, then passed directly to Nedved, who kept passing the ball to Ronaldinho who completed the transposition with him. Ronaldinho made another long shot in front of the penalty area. Valencia players put the defense to the top before Ronaldinho received the ball. The defender line must keep a sufficient distance from the waistline, otherwise, if Ronaldinho is superior? Once the distance between the two lines is pulled apart, the back line is broken, and the back line is in jeopardy.


    Ronaldinho''s long shot hit Albelda and popped up. After receiving the ball from Southgate, he passed directly to Pirlo in front of him. Pirlo stopped the ball and turned around. It seemed that he was about to take a long shot.


    Valencia''s defense line was facing the enemy, but unexpectedly, Pirlo suddenly cut the ball in place, the ball jumped lightly, flew over Valencia''s rear line, and went to the back of the rib on the right side of the restricted area.


    Their defender line just took a few steps, but was suddenly hit behind the ball, and Canizares was very embarrassed. He wanted to attack, but he gave up because it was not a good choice.


    Before Pirlo''s pass, even when Southgate passed the ball to Pirlo, Schneider on the right ran into the position. At the moment of Pirlo''s pass, Schneider was one position behind the defender''s line. After the ball passed, Schneider succeeded in countering offside. Not only did the person come to the penalty area, but they also obviously thrown away Valencia''s defender line a short distance.


    Schneider is expressionless. He is definitely not the first right back in football today, but he has his own characteristics, which is the most suitable right back for Millwall!


    The full-back assists, he keeps in mind the teachings of Aldridge, every assist comes up, can exert its unexpected effect, stems from the hidden tactical thinking of the offensive point.


    When Valencia compressed the backcourt defense, Schneider at best could only play the role of a full-back on the premise of the position, the role of the cross and the strategy.


    And now, when Millwall forced the opponent''s defense a little premise through continuous long-range shots, Ronaldinho shot a long-range shot again. For a time Valencia''s defensive thinking was to go out, Schneider saw the opportunity to decisively advance.


    Pirlo''s pass came as scheduled, and the seconds, the landing point, and the speed of the ball were perfect in Schneider''s eyes!


    Man, you are awesome!


    Schneider stepped on the ball and ran into place, and he made a decision before touching the ball.


    He can''t stop the ball to adjust, otherwise the Valencia defender''s back line defense must be blocked. In that case, the threat of this opportunity will be greatly reduced.


    And he also observed the situation in the middle of the restricted area while running.


    Larson rushed forward, Henry was flying with a streamlined head, at least the anti-offside consciousness of these two teammates, the speed after the outbreak, in this sprint, Valencia defender has been thrown away .


    Schneider did not wait for the ball to land, but pushed the ball horizontally with his arch, adding a little force to ensure the speed of the ball.


    After the cross, Schneider''s eyes kept looking at the middle road and silently said: It''s up to you!


    All Lions fans at the Lion King Stadium stood up, staring intently at the situation in front of Valencia¡¯s goal, cheering and cheering were also temporarily suspended, everyone was attracted attention by this time Millwall¡¯s attack.


    Nedved is on the periphery, Ronaldinho is on the periphery, Pirlo is on the periphery, and Klose is also rushing forward, but he is obviously hindered by the opposing defender.


    Now, Henry, Larson, is the best point to break.


    Larsson was at the front. Even though he was fast, he couldn''t catch the trajectory of the ball. The whole person flew out, but he still couldn''t catch up.


    Larson tried to shoot, failed!


    Henry also used a shovel to shoot in the middle, but his foot seemed to slip a bit when he stepped out in the last step, and he failed to explode his ultimate strength. Seeing that the toe is only a few centimeters away from the ball passing by, it is still not there. Can hit the ball.


    Henry almost wanted to sigh! Did you really wear the wrong shooting boots today? !


    Canizares had already abandoned the door, he gave up the point of Larson, moved to Henry''s side immediately after Larson missed, tried to block the opponent''s shovel with his body, but, in front of him One and a half meters away, Henry, missed a shot!


    Canizares is sighing for the immortality. When he turned his head to follow the course of the ball rolling, his whole heart fell into the ice cellar!


    The ball flew towards the goal and was so strong that it was hard to stop!


    Canizares made a fussing move already in vain!


    "Zambrotta! Zambrotta! Zambrotta! Zambrotta succeeded in outsourcing and shooting! This was a match between Millwall''s two full-backs! Schneider assisted Zambro The tower broke! The score was rewritten to 3:1, the total score was 3:2! Millwall reversed Valencia!"


    Everyone, the live audience, including the live TV footage, locked the area where Larson and Henry took the spot for the first time. No one noticed that on the left, Zambrotta also moved forward firmly. It was like a wild beast rushing towards Valencia''s goal.


    When Larson and Henry missed shots one after another, Zambrotta happened to rush and drove cleanly and kicked the ball into the empty goal!


    The Lion King Stadium was ignited by Zambrotta¡¯s goal.


    Furious lion fans jumped up and down in the stands, hugged each other, the couple kissed, the father raised the child above his head and jumped, the brothers and friends pulled the other''s clothes and roared, and some old fans who had seen the sea and sangtian revealed After a smile...


    Zambrotta took off the jersey after scoring a goal and threw it away, avoiding all his teammates trying to catch him and ran around the sidelines. The fist in his right hand was kept high, as if the goal was to help the team hold up The Hercules Cup.


    When Henry and Larson saw the ball finally scored, they both felt relieved.


    Henry, who was still lying on the ground, covered his face with a smile and turned his head to look around. Larson, who was also lying on the ground, also happened to be watching him. The two could interpret the common meaning from each other¡¯s smiles: Medium, it feels awesome!

 Chapter 611： Shocking eyeball

    Larson stood up and walked to Henry with a smile. The two hooked each other''s shoulders and walked in the direction of Zambrotta.


    As a striker, scoring is the first task.


    But no striker can guarantee goals in every game. The more top teams, the less able to rely on strikers. The distribution of goals is also a measure of a team¡¯s offensive strength in a sense. A single scoring point is easy Targeted by opponents.


    Larson and Henry encountered great difficulties in the two games against Valencia. The opponents compressed the space inside and outside the penalty area and closely marked them. The opportunities they could obtain were not great. The last time Henry swayed the goalkeeper And Larson¡¯s penalty was the best opportunity. In this game, the best chance was the cross after Schneider¡¯s anti-offside. Both of them were one step behind. Fortunately, teammates made up for their missed opportunity. Otherwise, if the team fails to advance, they must be guilty.


    After the reversal of the goal appeared, Cooper and Valencia team players have similar expressions, unwilling!


    Nearly 180 minutes of hard work, blink of an eye!


    Cooper was about to transfer his troops immediately, but when he turned to the bench, he saw an incredible scene.


    Not far away, in front of the coach of the home team, the famous young coach in Europe has already pulled the two players in the assignment after playing.


    Players on the court are still celebrating. What did Audric do since the goal appeared?


    He didn''t even celebrate!


    Instead, he turned his head directly to call back the players who were warming up, and even screamed!


    Pedretti and Neal almost ran to join in the celebration, almost returned by Aldridge''s roar.


    While the team was celebrating, Aldridge was already preparing for the substitutions to adjust tactics.


    Cooper, when he lost to Aldridge last year, he was unwilling!


    But when he saw this scene, he understood that the opponent''s success was not accidental. Millwall was so long behind. Aldridge did not show any anxiety on the sidelines. After losing the first round, he shifted the attention of the outside world to the team. Protection, substitutions, etc.


    For the second year in a row, Cooper rose from the bottom of his heart.


    In the position of the head coach, it is not necessarily a strong card that must be strong. Cooper also led Valencia to defeat too many teams that are more powerful than their lineup. Real Madrid and Barcelona in the same league have also become his defeaters. .


    But against Millwall, if it wasn¡¯t Valencia¡¯s good luck, it had already been used as a sieve. Only those first post beams in the first round, shot half of the goal, Valencia lost.


    Nearly 180 minutes of game time, Valencia could not compete with Millwall on the scene, relying on shaking Europe''s defensive counterattack, 99% is pure defense, and the threat of counterattack can not be discussed.


    Cooper shook his head, leaving behind the misunderstanding.


    There is still time, and Valencia still has room for a miracle! Certainly!


    Aldridge will be replaced soon. It should have been Valencia''s immediate adjustment. As a result, he was one step ahead of his opponent!


    Cooper immediately sent Zahovi? and Karu to the sidelines to prepare for the game.


    Karu increased the high point of the strike. Zahovic is a talented player emerging in Slovenia in recent years. Unfortunately, this person likes to make conflicts, so he can¡¯t appreciate and reuse it, but now he has to use it. There must be some technical skills. It depends on whether it can be so. Rescued the team in adversity.


    When Millwall''s celebration ended, the two teams on the sidelines were replaced at the same time.


    "After Millwall changed the total score to 3:2, Millwall and Valencia made substitutions at the same time. Both sides used the last two substitutions. Millwall sent Neil and Pedretti. , The end is Ronaldinho and Pirlo. Valencia withdrew bilateral guards Kaboni and Angloma, replaced by Zahovic and Caru."


    Ronaldinho and Pirlo received thunderous cheers and applause from the audience.


    Aldridge also greeted the end of the two with applause, celebrating with the two high-five.


    Previously, Materazzi was removed, and now Neal went up to hit the defender.


    Pedretti succeeded Pirlo, partnered with Gattuso and doubled the midfielder. Nedved retreated from the front midfield with a formation of 451. Henry played with Larson and Klose topped the center position.


    Valencia''s side was previously a 5 guard, and now two 36-year-old wing veterans have been removed and two forwards have been replaced to exclude the defender line. In fact, the midfield and frontcourt is at 222. In the midfield, Gonzalez and Mendieta were on the side, and Karu and Zahovi? were two forwards. Due to the fact that they were sent off, the formation change was actually a lack of a guard.


    The time has come to the 84th minute of the game, but Valencia has not made a big attack since the kick-off, and Millwall does not use high-pressure forcing tactics at this time. It is too risky, especially when the opponent has changed to two. The famous forwards have plenty of impact, but they don''t shrink their defense, they just shift their defense a little later on a balanced basis.


    Valencia is a good counterattack, but now is a positional battle, they patiently pass the ball and try to find Millwall''s weak defense.


    They dare not lose the ball easily.


    Millwall''s defense is in place, especially now that he is fighting one more person and is also out of the double back to ensure the defense.


    Valencia attacking players gritted their teeth at the opponent''s impenetrable defense line, trying to penetrate the ground and couldn''t find the spot. The defensive position of the opponent''s cutting offensive formation can be incorporated into the textbook as a model!


    Finally, what can be done?


    The more the ball falls, the smaller the space, but the more and more anxious.


    Time is not waiting for anyone, it is passing by every minute.


    Mendieta tried to break Zambrotta on the wing and nearly lost the ball. Zambrotta was annoyed by his defense.


    He broke the ball when the opponent broke through and saw that he was about to grab the ball, but the action of stopping the ball hit the ball out of bounds.


    After Valencia took the throw-in, he moved the ball to the other side, and Gonzalez could not find the spot.


    Nedved stuck to his side to stop him from contacting Albelda in the middle. Pedretti stared at Zahovi? again. There was only one outing point, which was passed back to the defender, and he had to cross the pull. Nelson!


    Gonzalez had no choice but to see Schneider lowering the center of gravity and stepping inside, he could only pass the ball to find the high point Caru in the penalty area.


    Valencia had good luck in these two games. The last game had a magical power to protect the city gates. There was another Gattuso oolong gift in this game. Gonzalez hopes that at this time, luck can stand in Valencia again. This side of West Asia, so that his foot pass can evolve into a lore!


    After the ball was kicked out, Gonzalez was full of expectations and felt that the quality of the ball was extremely high!


    However, when he saw Neil grabbed the landing point and took Caru''s body up to take the ball away, he gritted his teeth unwillingly.


    Neal''s header was not far from the ball and fell on Gattuso''s feet.


    Nedved ran forward, Albelda stared close, Gattuso was unharassed, looked up calmly for a second, and then passed the ball directly to the left.


    Henry at the center of the left lane waited for the ball to reach the foot and moved forward, immediately started the explosion, the instantaneous speed increased to the fastest, and the wind and the ground took the lead to kill.


    The mad lion fans in the stands roared, screamed, and unmatched passion broke out.


    "Tieri, rush!"


    Although the game came to the final period, Henry rarely went back to participate in the defense. The physical condition is good, and it is no problem to accelerate the sprint in the halftime!


    With the bleaching stands, the live broadcast camera moved forward quickly, and even the audience in front of the TV had an illusion: Henry, is driving the entire stadium to move!


    Baraja¡¯s position was not close to Henry when he turned from attack to defense. After Henry started to accelerate, he obviously couldn¡¯t catch up after chasing back. Even when Henry came to the forty yard line and started to walk inside, Baraja still Three meters behind Henry.


    Ayala, Juki?, Pellegrino, three people lined up, facing three Millwall forwards, Henry with the ball, Klose in the middle, followed inwardly on the right Larson.


    Henry suddenly split the ball in front of Ayala, Klose deliberately rushed forward and then stopped, opened the distance from Jiukic, then took the ball, Jiukic rushed up again, late!


    Klose slanted to the right and Larson sprang from behind Pellegrino, kicking an external half-height pass before the baseline.


    Henry inserted the ball from behind and crossed Ayala to the left of the goal midway.


    Larson''s half-height ball is for Henry!


    Although the timing of the pass was not perfect, the ball''s outward rotation trajectory prevented Henry from stopping the ball. He was too fast, but Henry did not miss this opportunity.


    His body leaped sideways, his right leg stretched out, and his foot stretched straight towards the ball.


    Volley shot!


    Cooper closed his eyes in despair on the sidelines.


    Completely over!


    boom!


    The Lion King Stadium screamed, everyone opened their eyes to witness Henry¡¯s unstoppable volley shots sent the ball into the gate, Canizares just made a subconscious save, did not guess the direction of the ball at all, the dramatic thing is, if Canizares stood still, maybe his shoulder could block the ball.


    "Super perfect volley shot! Henry scored Millwall''s fourth goal of the game. Now Millwall leads Valencia with a total score of 4:2. There should be no suspense. Henry shocked the goal. The ball ended the game! From the moment Henry touched the ball, Millwall''s frontcourt offensive was 3 to 4 but Henry''s dribbling attack threw off Baraja, then, 3 to 3, Henry, Klose , Larson, Millwall¡¯s simple, effective and deadly cooperation easily destroyed Valencia¡¯s defense!"


    Henry climbed back from the ground and jogged backwards, his hands pointing at Larson and Klose respectively. After the two rushed over, all three fell to the ground. Then, Nedved also pressed up, Gatto. So, Zambrotta...


    Aldridge was really afraid of Henry being crushed on the sidelines.


    He exhaled deeply and raised his head to look over the court. The clear night sky made people feel comfortable. The road to defending the Champions League took another step forward.


    The game has entered injury stoppage time, Valencia has completely lost its desire to attack. In this level of competition, the tactics of the sea of ??people are not feasible. It is not that pressing everyone up can increase the offensive threat and attack and defense. They are really Dare to press it up, the back line will be faltered when it is hit back.


    Limiting Millwall''s offensive space is the focus of their efforts in the two games. The counter-attack lost the ball has just told them clearly how terrible the power will be when Millwall has the offensive space, even if it is 3 to 3 and the number is balanced. Wall can still play the destructive power.


    The referee blew the whistle at the end of the match, Valencia players retired with frustration, the Millwall team went into the field to celebrate each other and advance to the semifinals, but also to thank the fans, without these loyalty, cute, and even scary The fans of today have created a great deterrent cheer, perhaps Valencia''s game pressure is not so great yet.


    Aldridge walked to Cooper, shaking hands with the other party solemnly, without any bullying.


    Every top-level contest is a test of tempering Millwall, and a valuable opportunity for Aldridge¡¯s own rich coaching experience. He respects every opponent and thanks every hostile coach. Appreciation will not change.

 Chapter 612： Premier League

    The Lion King Stadium ended and the smoke dissipated, sending away the sad and bat army. The proud lion of Europa still walked on the road of football.


    The Spanish media described Valencia''s outage as extremely tragic.


    1:0, 1:4, the total score of 2:4 is out.


    Just looking at the score, it is difficult to imagine the progress of the game.


    The anti-anti-peak Valencia failed to stop the second generation of crazy lions from continuing their brilliant steps.


    Fleet Street does not over-promote Millwall''s victory, because there are more shocking news worthy of their hard work.


    "British Premier League!"


    At the end of the quarterfinals, only four teams in the Premier League were blocked.


    Leeds United defeated A Coru?a at home with three goals, went to the road and was almost overturned by A Coru?a. The final total score was 3:2 and advanced to the semi-finals. Together with Millwall, they were in the second half and joined the semi-finals, which will be staged in England. civil war!


    Arsenal also led the winner to the semifinals.


    The only thing that is not beautiful is that the Red Devils Manchester United were double-killed by Bayern Munich hosts and guests. If they can reverse the defeat of the German class bully, the Champions League will usher in an ancient scene: the semi-finals are taken by the England team.


    In the end, it was one step behind and it became the situation of the top three Premier League players surrounding Bayern Munich.


    After the Champions League game, the team took a day off.


    Aldridge and Ewen appeared on Savile Street in London with their two sons.


    Savile Street is a sanctuary for custom-made men''s clothing. Many historic and prestigious clothing stores are on this street. The famous and valuable handmade tailors are the biggest selling point here, from the royal family to the celebrities of various countries. To, always been a patron here.


    When Aldridge returned to London seven years ago to start working, he also became a frequent visitor here.


    Moreover, for seven years, he only customized ready-made clothes in the H. Huntsman store.


    People rely on clothing and Buddha rely on gold clothing. Although Aldrich also wears ordinary casual clothes, on formal occasions, he still needs to ensure that his image is both decent and extraordinary. As a majestic head coach, decorations or unique hairstyles, then All are non-mainstream behaviors that only lead to ridicule. The only thing that can work hard is naturally clothing.


    The clothing cost of this store is among the top and expensive in the entire street. Audrey''s average suit is more than 5,000 pounds. It has been patronizing for a long time and has become a patron. Nor is it necessary to take a cheap discount. The key is that these stores are one version per person. It is not an ordinary clothing store to modify and adjust according to the existing version. The manual tailors are familiar with Aldrich. The changes to custom new clothes are not big, and the Austrian is also saved. Derich proposes such a demanding process as the fine design of clothing such as pocket size.


    Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the store, Aldridge tried on the newly made suit and stood beside him to comment on it from different angles.


    The tailor who is nearly sixty years old with gray hair is very particular about his clothes. The white shirt, blue vest and trousers. If he is a young 30-year-old with a beautiful bias, I am afraid that he may be mistaken for a financial aristocrat or scholar. By the way, the manual work was troublesome, wearing a pair of glasses, a measuring ruler hung on the neck, smoothing the shoulders of the Audridge suit, and he said with a smile: "Actually, your waistline is OK, and there are no signs of happiness. "


    Aldridge still feels himself and smiles: "I still don''t know my situation? I can''t see my face, but this body is really a lot fatter."


    Aldrich has always been wearing suits and has a tendency to be slim and streamlined, which makes him look tall and chic, and the man is also smelly. Aldridge is one.


    The old tailor Payne wondered: "In the past six years, your figure has not changed much, but this year... have you become lazy?"


    Aldrich haha ??smiled. He used to be thin and sturdy. Before this new suit was customized, he felt that he had fat on his stomach and gained weight. The original slim suit was a little tight, so he was anxious to customize New clothes, but in terms of body shape, the change is not obvious. When the tailor uses the size of an inch by inch, the change in the tailor''s eyes can be very different from the ordinary people''s eyes.


    "Payne, you are coming here, don''t you understand the reason?"


    Aldridge turned to smile at Payne.


    Payne looked at Yiwen thoughtfully, showing a sudden expression.


    With a gentle township, how can the body not be blessed?


    Yiwen rolled his eyes and stepped forward, resting his chin on Aldridge''s shoulder, and said in his ear: "Rely on me?"


    "Oh, otherwise?"


    "Anyway, your own heart is clear, your body is yours, you are exhausted, you don''t care, but someone is sad."


    No more words in Yiwen, nodding at Aldridge with a smile, meaning this new suit is good.


    Aldridge sighed inwardly.


    This year, it cannot be said that he became lazy, but he was too busy to exercise. He also served as the coach of the national team. He did not play on weekdays. He also had to study the data and regularly observe the performance of the national team players in their respective clubs. Going to watch the ball, so I can only watch the video, the time required for work is much more than before, and I squeeze time to sleep.


    If it was not for Yiwen to remind him from time to time that he could not get tired at a certain time.


    Aldridge tried on it almost, and found that Burt and Earl stood by his legs, pulling his pants and pointing at Aldridge''s suit.


    Payne saw this and smiled kindly: "The two little guys can''t wait, it''s your turn immediately."


    Somehow, the two sons seemed to be able to see Aldridge from the newspapers frequently, and Aldrich appeared in the newspaper must be the image of a suit and leather shoes. They turned over their wardrobe and could not find the same clothing, so they proposed It is required to wear the same clothes as the father.


    Children play, just a small suit of ordinary children''s size can be sent, but Aldridge still asks Payne to tailor-made for two sons, which is a waste of money, but Aldrich does not care, even if the son wears One day, as long as they are happy.


    Before long, Payne led the two little guys out of the fitting room. Burt and Earl hurriedly posed in front of the mirror and smelt, then compared with Aldridge, and smiled contentedly.


    Before Aldridge left, Payne repeated the sighs he would make every time.


    "Aldrich, don''t you think your image should be to coach the team in West London?"


    Aldridge smiled with his hands over his ears and left.


    This Payne is a Chelsea fan. It feels that West London, which is rich in money, and the noble atmosphere of Stamford Bridge should be the home of Aldridge. At least the image is more suitable for Aldridge.


    The Lion King Stadium in Millwall is indeed extraordinary, but it is only limited to the club stadium. If the human and geographical environment of the immigrants in East London can be compared with North London and West London, the beggars first stand up to refute!


    The Hall family has invested in East London all the year round, but to do this, it is necessary to follow the policy. The London city government does not vigorously improve the environment in East London. How much money the Hall family invests is just a float. Investing some money is similar to giving back to your hometown, winning the recognition and support of your father and fellow villagers, and some of the positive influence will also be passed on to the Millwall Club.


    To say that Millwall is still lacking compared with other giants, it is the geographical environment of the club itself. From the aspects of law and order, culture, business, ethnicity, etc., East London is a relatively backward area. This point, the Millwall club itself It cannot be changed, because the club cannot be moved. If you dare to do so, it is simply to forget the ancestors. Even if the three generations of grandchildren and the loyal fans of the four generations will all change from love to hate Millwall.


    The only thing that can change is the external environment. Aldrich can run the club well. The Hall family can earn a lot of money. But if you want to change the face of a large area in London, if you dare to think, it is whimsical and overwhelming.


    Summer is approaching, Aldridge''s holiday is to accompany Yiwen to go shopping, passing a brand optical shop, Burt and Earl pointing to black super sunglasses are essential, Aldridge bought two sons each One, when the two wear the flat sunglasses of the smallest style, they are still slightly larger, almost turning into frog mirrors and covering half of their faces.


    Aldrich and Ewen were holding the hand of a child. These two little guys, dressed in suits and black supers, could not talk about fashion, but they had a bit of a visual sense of the pocket version of MIB.


    The Paparazzi reporter came out of nowhere, took photos of the four of them, and then disappeared.


    Aldridge and Yiwen smiled at each other, and often encountered this kind of things when they went out shopping. Some paparazzi with a slight limit will follow the shot and hide in the dark, fearing that they will lose the other party¡¯s interest. I can¡¯t take the back photos. Like the man just now, I must have been in the business for a while, and I didn¡¯t squat down on the street to shoot celebrities. Catch Aldridge is like a pie in the sky. I quickly took the walk away. I don¡¯t know. Waiting for a month on Ville Street, Mo said that celebrity celebrity stars, even the Middle Eastern royal aristocracy can let you shoot.


    Aldrich was accustomed to it and didn¡¯t mind too much. She visited some women¡¯s clothing stores with Yiwen, personally selected cool summer clothes for her, and then bought some swimming equipment for Burt and Earl. I don''t want to go. No matter what the end of the season is, the summer preparations will be step by step. After all, I went to Asia last year for a lap, and next year there will be a World Cup. This summer is still the best way to rest and recuperate.


    After having lunch at a two-star Michelin restaurant, Yiwen offered to go home. She still hoped that Aldridge could stay at home on this rest day.


    Back home, Burt and Earl, who were hot for three minutes, felt inconvenient in a small suit, so they took it off and replaced it. Thinking of the swim ring they bought, the two little guys were entangled with Aldridge and asked him to take them with them. Swim.


    There is a small swimming pool in my backyard. At the beginning of April, the temperature was not even 20 degrees. Fortunately, the swimming pool had a heating system. According to the text, 100 did not agree, but Aldridge insisted on walking alone. It was too early for his son to play and teach them to swim, so he and Bert and Earl put on swimming rings to play in the pool.


    Yiwen looked at the father and son three people helplessly, she took some towels out, so that the three would not come out of the pool to cool off.


    Then she picked up a novel from the study and lay in a lounge chair by the pool. She passed the time while reading the novel. Aldridge played with two sons in the swimming pool. This rest day was good for Aldridge. Enjoy.


    But, the next day, the father and son all caught a cold.

 Chapter 613： The Battle of Young Masters

    After years of not getting sick, this suddenly caught a cold, and Aldridge didn''t worry about it. He felt that he was strong and strong, and he was more likely to recover without medicine, but he still took the medicine under the supervision of Yiwen.


    The team was preparing for the weekend league. He went to the training ground in the morning and found that he had signs of aggravating the cold, so he handed over the training to Klinsmann.


    If you are not afraid of 10,000, you may be afraid of it. Aldrich knows that it may be cold, but if the prize is flu, this is troublesome.


    Once a player or staff member of the team gets the flu, they must be quarantined, saying that the quarantine is too serious, that is, let him go home to rest and recuperate, get well, and come again.


    Football players are sick and sick, but the most feared thing is the flu.


    Influenza has an incubation period. Once the attack occurs during the game, when the player is strenuously exercising, it is easy to cause various serious diseases. Even if the player is not confronted with contact, it may cause serious injuries.


    Aldridge was considered sick, Klinsmann presided over the training, used Aldrich as a pretext, and declared to the players sadly and passionately: Your boss, working day and night, has fallen ill on the front line of work, you If you don¡¯t train hard, are you worthy of your hard work?


    After Klinsmann said this in front of the team on the training ground, the players were all dumbfounded.


    As we warmed up and jogged, everyone talked eloquently.


    "The boss is sick? Really?"


    "I don''t know. I saw a tabloid published a photo of the boss this morning."


    "What picture? Madden?"


    "Hey, what do you want? It''s when the boss and his family were shopping outside and they were photographed by the paparazzi."


    "Why are you sick?"


    "This is not clear."


    Nedved, Larson, they don¡¯t read tabloids, they care about the scandals, but Larson still scorns his teammates with the old players, saying: "Don¡¯t talk nonsense, the boss must be sick. This is the first time he has missed his team training in almost seven years."


    Joe Cole closed his mouth immediately.


    Discuss whether the boss is really sick. This is a topic that the team definitely finds itself. When it is bigger, it is questioning the boss''s professionalism.


    And it is precisely those players who have followed Aldridge at first and witnessed Aldridge''s work attitude for almost seven years, and no teammates are allowed to question this.


    If the head coach is not there, the big guys on the team will take the lead.


    The results of these two days of training have made the coaching staff very satisfied. Aldridge is sick at home and the players are more serious.


    But the coaching staff also knows that this is what will happen in a special period. If there is no head coach in the past, the quality of training will plummet in two months.


    Aldridge asked for leave, and the British tabloid, who came from the wind, dug deep into the reasons behind the scenes. Now his every move is news. After all, he is still the coach of the England national team.


    Before the start of the weekend league, Aldridge appeared in the public, probably, about 20 seconds.


    "Ah, ah, ah, ah..."


    In the lobby of the Millwall Club press conference, Aldridge just sat down on the stage, sneezed four times in a row, and then covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief.


    The reporters on the stage were really **** inhumane and didn''t understand Aldridge at all. At this time, they kept taking pictures with great interest!


    Aldridge originally felt that his illness was almost okay today. Anyway, both Burt and Earl recovered from the cold. Both were taken by the grandparents to the countryside today.


    But he just sat down, somehow, his nose was itchy, sneezing continued, and then he was embarrassed to continue to appear, fearing to sneeze a few times from time to time.


    Standing up and waving his hand, Aldridge left without saying a word.


    Let Klinsmann come to the press conference on his behalf.


    The reporters didn''t keep it. It was just a routine business today. Millwall''s opponent on the weekend was Derbyshire.


    Aldridge quickly left the club and went home to sleep.


    Klinsmann sat on the stage and waited seriously for the reporter to ask questions.


    "After Sir Alex Ferguson''s Champions League elimination, Manchester United declared that although Manchester United was sorry to be out, but now Manchester United can concentrate on fighting for the league title, and Millwall will definitely make mistakes due to the heavy task of the game. Manchester United will smash Millwall defending the Premier League this season, Realize the dream of three consecutive championships. What do you think of the Millwall club?"


    Klinsmann has never experienced this kind of scene, usually watching movies, and now he is the protagonist, under great pressure.


    Not to mention Ferguson, psychological warfare is definitely a master.


    Manchester United''s Champions League exit was an absolute negative impact, which had a heavy blow to the team.


    And the most taboo team is immersed in the shadow of the fight can not extricate themselves.


    He used a regretful exit to cover up the embarrassment of being double-killed, but also played a role in comforting the team. Then, using one-sided words, it sounds a little reasonable to encourage the morale of the team.


    Yes, Millwall has reached the semifinals in the Champions League. The two-line battle comes to the most critical juncture. Won''t you make mistakes under tremendous pressure? If you play one more game, the room for making mistakes in probability will increase. In addition to the critical battle, this probability will increase!


    It sounds like this, Ferguson used the impact of the league title to divert the attention of the Manchester United team, came out of the negative shadow, and then, the pressure was thrown to Millwall.


    After all, Klinsmann is not the head coach. In the battlefield of psychological warfare, the experience is obviously lacking.


    Faced with a reporter''s question, he made a lengthy analysis of the strength of Manchester United and Millwall''s team, the league situation, the opponents they met in the next round, and so on, almost came to a conclusion: Millwall will not make a mistake , Man Lenovo won the championship? dream!


    The reporter from the audience was disappointed and suddenly felt that Ferguson would be depressed if he watched Klinsmann''s live response.


    Not at all a level.


    Changed Aldridge, when will the eighth analysis of the league situation.


    Psychological warfare is the momentum card!


    Aldridge will only say: It turns out that Manchester United''s Champions League exit is premeditated, in order to impact the league champion! Sorry, Millwall has entered the Champions League semi-finals for four consecutive years and won two league titles in the past three years. We are used to sprinting in the Champions League and the league in April and May. As for only four consecutive seasons, we have won the league runner-up. Team, I don¡¯t know where ¡°Silianya¡± comes from. I believe that the champion team will make mistakes.


    You have to expose the opponent''s shortcomings, attack the opponent''s momentum, and instill confidence in your team.


    As for the specific situation, it doesn''t make much sense for the head coach to analyze. There are so many football columns on Fleet Street. Someone always analyzes it like a scientist decrypts it.


    On the day of the game day, Aldridge got up and found that he was refreshed, obviously getting rid of the entanglement of illness, but Yiwen was exhausted in the past two days. He got up late in the morning, and Aldridge prepared the breakfast by himself. Wen went downstairs and left a note to go to work.


    Over the years, I have developed the habit of workaholics. During the season, I took a few days of rest and felt mad. I guess it was the "root" of my previous life: hard work.


    When the players came to the training base in the morning to see Aldridge, they all froze and asked for warmth.


    The British unscrupulous tabloid almost dispatched the detective to investigate the cause of Aldridge''s illness.


    On April day, I was swimming in the open-air swimming pool in my backyard. This sick person is not wrong.


    What made Aldridge cry was that the team gave him "compassionate goods" at lunch.


    Everyone put an apple on his table. After a while, the apples piled up in a small pyramid in front of Aldridge...


    "Apple, I accepted it, and I will take it home and eat it one by one. But if you can''t win the game this afternoon, hum, I promise you will hate that there is something in the world called Apple in the future."


    Aldridge finished picking an apple and biting it down, and the players laughed out loud.


    In the afternoon, the Lion King Stadium.


    Aldrich was vigorously dressed, wearing a new suit, he recovered from a minor illness, and the whole person was full of energy.


    Playing Derby County at home, although the opponent is a relegation team, it is not like "Everton" is "a good hand is broken" situation, the hard power is indeed the countdown to the league, and Millwall did not send all The main force, it is appropriate to give some young people a chance.


    Aldrich looked up to the second floor of the stadium south stand, where a new banner was hung, with a blue lion symbolizing Millwall, magnified special effects in the heart, and the name of Nedved in the center. .

 ~： After the second round of the game, foreign fan organizations made another appeal.

    There was already a publicity banner with the color of Nedved in the stadium, marked with the mad lion.


    In the overseas section of Millwall''s official website, foreign fan organizations applied for hanging the banner they made on the stadium six months ago. Millwall Club did not agree. After all, there are already similar ones.


    However, Nedved''s performance after the comeback is as usual to conquer the fans. In the Champions League game that has just ended, Nedved sounded the team''s counter-attack horn, Pirlo, Ronaldinho, these are talented players, they The talent to play, and Nedved on the field is the soul of Millwall, the source of inexhaustible fighting spirit.


    After the club was pressed again and again, all the overseas fan organizations made "complaints", and finally compromised, and this promotional banner was also hung on the stands.


    Nedved symbolizes the heart of the mad lion, which is not an exaggeration.


    In today''s game, Nedv¨§d beaten the battle. With him on the field, the young players have a deep heart, and they will not be handicapped.


    Derbyshire had no fight back in the match and was defeated by Millwall 4-0. Nedved continued his good performance with two assists.


    In the same round, Manchester United defeated Coventry 4-1, biting Millwall tightly in the standings.


    A week later, Millwall struggled to win Newcastle United 0-1 away. Manchester United also beat Southampton 2-1 in a thrilling game. Millwall still leads the standings with a one-point advantage.


    There are 4 rounds left in the league.


    After this game, regardless of the outside world, or any news from Manchester, Aldridge directly ignored.


    The Champions League semi-final is about to start, and the schedule in conjunction with the Premier League is also quite dramatic.


    Millwall is going to play two away games, and then one home game.


    Champions League, League, Champions League.


    The opponent is the same.


    Leeds United!


    After the crazy investment of Ritzdale at no cost in the summer of last year, Yorkshire''s white roses seemed to be walking step by step on the road to revival.


    I got the qualification for the Champions League last season, and the league is also fighting for the qualification of the Champions League this season, but considering the double-line battle of the Champions League, the Champions League has reached the semi-finals all the way, and the white roses in Yorkshire seem to be really blooming.


    Young Marshal O''Reilly and Audric had no deep hatred, nor selfless friendship, but they were just put on the name of "Second Marshal" by Fleet Street.


    Although the outside world is not optimistic that Leeds United can beat Millwall to advance to the final, but anything on the football field can happen.


    People began to assume that if O''Leary could defeat O''Dridge on the stage of the Champions League, then boldly assume that Ole''s interest rate led the black horse of Leeds United to win in the end.


    Well, O''Reilly is almost copying Odric''s coaching trajectory. After all, this season is only the third year of O''Reilly''s coaching career!


    The "Battle of the Young Masters" will be staged in the Champions League semi-finals.

 Chapter 614： Cracked password

    Leeds United''s performance in the league this season is roughly the same as last year. They are all in the final four of the season. However, they reached the semi-finals in the Champions League. They wrote a glorious chapter for the club. It is only one step away from the 75-year history of the Champions League runner-up. Away, after the semi-finals, at least tie!


    O''Reilly looked humbly when looking into the semi-finals, acknowledging Millwall''s strength as a popular promotion, but at the same time said that Leeds United also had a chance to reach the finals.


    While Aldridge faced the reporters with "all sorts of difficulties", Fleet Street tried to create an atmosphere of equal confrontation, describing Aldridge and O''Reilly as opponents.


    The theoretical basis is fairly reliable.


    Because Leeds United had a win and a draw against Millwall in the league last season, which made the statistics of the clash record, although O''Reilly was slightly disadvantaged, he did not fall to the side.


    Aldridge did not respond positively, but instead said something inexplicable.


    "A neighbor praised my son for being sensible at a young age. He looked very smart, but no one said he was a genius. After all, he hadn''t experienced an intelligence test."


    The reporters understood Audridge''s subtext.


    The mouth said that there was no champion.


    No matter how the outside world tries to narrow the difference between Millwall and Leeds United, the two teams'' head-to-head match is quite promising. The fact is that Leeds United is not worthy!


    Aldridge tried to anger O''Reilly, creating an unbalanced mentality in Leeds United, and then added fire.


    "Everyone is saying that Leeds United has created a glory. Compared with the historical achievements of the club itself, it is true. Congratulations to O''Reilly. He has become a famous person in the history of Leeds United, but that is the thing of Leeds United. They It is worth celebrating to reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League. What about Millwall? This is our fourth consecutive season to reach the semifinals of the Champions League. We are very calm and concentrate on playing these two semifinals. If we can¡¯t qualify for the finals, this is for us , Is not a successful season."


    Aldrich''s remarks are not arrogant, that is the case.


    Even if you look at European giants, if you can reach the Champions League semi-finals for four consecutive years, and there are already two Champions League champions in hand, no matter what the result is, it will certainly not be associated with the word failure, but Millwall¡¯s standard is better than others. To be high.


    On the day of the game, when the day and night rotated, and the sky was not completely dark, the local streets of Leeds were bustling, and at a glance, the fans of the "White Army" put on a jersey and a scarf was hung on the neck. The fan group also carried homemade slogans from Flocked to one place in all directions: Elland Road Stadium.


    Leeds United is not particularly generous from the geographical situation in England, but they have their own advantages. In Leeds, there is only one professional football club in Leeds United, which allows local fans to invest their enthusiasm in Leeds United without reservation. On the body, local fans will not be differentiated, condensed together to form huge energy.


    Before the Champions League semi-finals started, fans flocked to Elland Road Stadium like a tide, and the local bar was full. These grand scenes have not been seen in Leeds for more than two decades. From the enthusiasm of fans, it can also be seen that Riley has indeed brought Leeds United to the pinnacle of a modern era!


    In the stands of Elland Road, even if more than 3,000 fans came, the fans screamed and cheered for the team, but it was like the waves that were inconspicuously splashed in the ocean, drowned in the loud cheering of Leeds United fans.


    In the VIP box, Ritzdale stood with his chest standing and waited for the game to start. Next to him, Chairman Millwall and Arthur, who had a big belly, also stood there.


    Over the past year, Arthur has become more convergent, and he is quite satisfactory when he is foreign. In the past, he was in the Premier League round table. He overwhelmed Bates, rode on the Edward long head, and Dane retreated, accompanied by Millwall¡¯s strength. , Aldridge is also the coach of the England national team, and has Andrew¡¯s business contacts within the FA. Arthur¡¯s oppressed people who have entered the game circle from the beginning have become a character with the right to speak. He does not like the Premier League chairman in On the negotiating table, the kind of lip-striking is intriguing. If it is possible, if everyone is wrong, then take a sleeve and fight.


    When no one provokes him, he is at peace with others.


    Ritzdale went crazy for a while, and after Arthur hummed a "friendship for a long time" in his ear last season, he couldn''t go crazy anymore.


    Now, the two chairmen gathered at Elland Road to cheer on their respective teams.


    Before the game started, the two reached out to each other, sat down together to watch the ball, and talked occasionally. Ritzdale now really wants to learn from Arthur. There are problems with the management of Leeds United. The expectations two years ago came this year. There have been changes, Leeds United''s record is no problem, can not stop the external economic environment, the football economic bubble is bursting, the club''s current income is much lower than previously expected.


    As for running the club, Arthur is a layman, and he does not intervene in specific matters. However, he has read much in recent years. He said in his mouth that he was right. Ritzdale nodded as he listened frequently. Arthur smiled straight.


    When Aldridge came out of the player channel, the surrounding stands booed him, and there were many clamors and middle fingers.


    His remarks before the game were uncomfortable for Leeds United fans. The facts turned out to be annoying.


    Aldridge doesn''t care, the fans are comfortable or uncomfortable, he doesn''t care, as long as Leeds United coaches and players are uncomfortable, then they are in the middle.


    O''Leary took the initiative to walk in front of Audridge. The two shook hands, each with a confident but unassuming smile on their faces.


    Aldrich didn''t like the outside world to put him and O''Reilly together in the dispute of being a young commander. O''Reilly also disgusted that he used it to compare with the trajectory of Aldrich, as if Aldridge was his goal. If he doesn''t have enough energy, he won''t be able to raise his head like Keegan''s life in front of Ferguson.


    The two patted each other''s arms, then turned around and walked to the coach seat.


    The players from both sides entered the stadium, and the 22 starters were full of energy, with a strong fighting spirit in their eyes.


    "The UEFA Champions League semi-final match on Elland Road is about to start. This season, Leeds United, who reached the semi-finals as the dark horse, took home the first round against defending champion Millwall. The two sides did their best today, but they don¡¯t know the first round. Whether the two sides will be conservative in the game.


    Leeds United started 442.


    Goalkeeper: Martin.


    Guards: Kelly, Ferdinand, Matteo, Hart.


    Midfielders: Bowyer, Dakote, Cahill, Kewell.


    Forwards: Smith, Viduka.


    Millwall started 433.


    Goalkeeper: Palyuka.


    Guards: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.


    Midfielders: Gattuso, Pirlo, Nedved.


    Forwards: Larson, Henry, Ronaldinho.


    Although Leeds United''s starting formation is 442, Smith is a forward with a lot of defensive investment, so the formation can be flexibly switched to ensure defensive strength in the midfield. "


    Aldrich stood on the sidelines to observe the attitude of Leeds United after the opening. Even though Leeds United and Millwall are not in a level contest in the league, the league and the cup are in a completely different environment. The league fight is endurance and stability. The cup is to fight on the spot Play and meet technical and tactical, 180 minutes erupt, see who can laugh to the end.


    After watching for 5 minutes, when the offensive running and defensive strategy of Leeds United players were outlined, Aldridge had a heart.


    Unlike Valencia''s "congenital inadequacy", which can only play anti-reverse, Leeds United is just the opposite. Their two full-backs are characterized by strong assist capabilities, plus the Premier League team has always focused on confrontation and physical strength. This Premier League In the civil war, the control rhythm of Serie A could not be beaten, the delicate control of La Liga, but the fast rhythm, the confrontation was strong, the soil was competing, often the two teams could not play threatening attacks within a period of time, but fell into frequent strangles. In the Premier League game, the pair is the most intense. People pass the ball. However, if you have the skills, I can still use your body to play.


    Leeds United is determined today to play overall offense and defense with Millwall!


    Perhaps Valencia has given them a lesson in front of them. On defense, Europe may not be able to find a team that is more threatening than Valencia during this period. If Leeds United also plays defense, it will be punished. Killed like a frog in warm water.


    When Leeds United defended today, every player had a marking task.


    Viduka and Smith focused on restricting Pirlo, sticking to him and not giving him the opportunity to take the ball. Gattuso wanted to play. Anyway, he certainly couldn''t pass the threat.


    Before Cahill and Dakot guarded the penalty area, they included Nedvide, Kewell and Bowyer. They were stuck on the sidelines. They could block Millwall''s bilateral defenders when they entered, and retreat to form a Millwall winger with the defenders. The team''s double defense, the remaining two central defenders are one close to Henry, the other as a backhand to prevent the opponent from getting rid of the defensive forward and form a threat.


    Leeds United did this by directly giving up on the harassment of Gattuso and Millwall defenders.


    Ideally, this defense of Leeds United can achieve a perfect envelope for Millwall''s offensive players, and as the offensive is pushed forward, the Leeds United formation is compressed backwards, and the limit of such defensive defense will increase. Strong.


    Millwall adopted a high-pressure strategy, which is similar to the core of the opponent''s defensive strategy in a sense. They are the main players who restrict the threat of passing. They do not wait for the offensive to reach the front line, and intercept and destroy before that.


    Due to the fast pace and strong confrontation, players have little room to take the ball on the court. No matter which team is attacking in the center of the midfield, when developing towards the other half, no player has enough room to play, stop the ball, get rid of, adjust , Or a breakthrough, at the same time, there must be fierce physical confrontation.


    Pirlo''s physical confrontation is not a strong point. Smith and Viduka are the kind of sturdy characters. In the first 15 minutes, Pirlo fell to the ground twice, and once lost the ball. His play was temporarily restricted. Living.


    "All Premier League, no, all of Europe is discussing how to crack the offensive tactics before and after Millwall Pirlogan Nedved or Ronaldinho. Today, it seems that Leeds United has found the cracked password. In the fast-paced confrontation, Pirlo¡¯s weakness was magnified, but Leeds United sacrificed the best chance of the striker to counterattack to achieve this. In the end, whether such a play has an effect, we are not good to draw conclusions, maybe the result of the game Is the most convincing."


    The Leeds United striker retreated to restrict Pirlo, which caused the problem that when Leeds United counterattacked, the striker''s starting position was not in front of the penalty area, pressing the Millwall''s back line, forming a threat point for the best time. Millwall spends more time defensively, marking with others to limit his opponent''s offense.


    O''Reilly''s expression is firm, and there is always a gap between strength and weakness. Now Leeds United is weak against resistance, without sacrifice, it is impossible to limit the opponent. Compared with some teams that use 5 guards or double midfielders to build midfielders, he is just Adopting a similar strategy, Smith is a fake forward and defender is a central midfielder.


    Hopefully, this can cause the Millwall attack system to fail, and then the attack and defense system to collapse.

 Chapter 615： One step, two steps.

    Leeds United''s tactical attitude is quite active, but from a strategic perspective, it has fallen behind.


    Elland Road is their home court. They play at home first. If they can¡¯t get a good result in 90 minutes, they will visit the Lion King Stadium in the next round. Mo said what the outside world thinks, at least they probably don¡¯t believe in Lion King Stadium. create a miracle.


    Pirlo''s play in the initial activity area was restricted. He took the initiative to make changes and made a decision to withdraw the ball and organize.


    When he went back and almost took the ball in front of the guard line to sort out the team''s offense, Smith and Viduka did not dare to rush to grab, but could only withdraw the blocking of the offensive line. The main compression is the midfield area. area.


    In this way, Pirlo can hold the ball and pass to ensure the success rate, the accompanying problem is: Millwall every attack has become a positional battle launched from the back line.


    In the noisy Elland Road stadium, Aldridge found that in fact, Leeds players are still quite afraid of Millwall on the court, actively fighting, running widely, the characteristics of the Premier League team can be seen in them, but, When playing offense, Leeds United was a little afraid of fear, fearing that the offensive investment was too large but too late to defend.


    Kelly and Hart''s two full-backs in the backcourt had three inexplicable long passes in the frontcourt, which made Audridge confused.


    The two''s long pass routines are the same, both are from the full-back area to the full-back area, the first time the attack hit Millwall''s full-back area, but the two full-backs of Leeds United are receiving the ball After falling into isolation, he quickly lost the ball.


    If the offensive side kicks the ball into a "dead end", leaving teammates in isolation, then the offensive routine will have problems first.


    Aldrich did not know whether the full-backs'' irresponsible way of pilling was allowed by O''Reilly.


    But if Leeds United plays such a non-threatening push forward, Millwall''s defense can be a lot easier.


    Aldridge pointed to Pirlo on the field and gave him a gesture.


    Pirlo nodded when he saw it.


    The other party restricts his initial activity space, which does not mean that he is fixed in that area invariably. In the process of contingency, he chose to retreat. Now, Audridge asks him to go forward, which is originally a choice. Choice, Pirlo sought stability, Aldridge gave him instructions to let him take risks.


    In such a fierce competition, the "perfect enveloping circle" envisioned by Leeds United itself has a certain effect. To break this enveloping circle, the most critical release point is Pirlo. If you make a fuss on the front line, you will be in a positional battle. Leeds United almost put the whole team into defense, the compressed space of the striker itself is extremely narrow, and praying for the star to shine, it is equal to luck.


    The premise of Pirlo''s offensive position. In the 32nd minute, Gattuso passed the ball from behind Pirlo. Pirlo suddenly did not withdraw the ball and disturbed the marking defense of Viduka and Smith.


    Viduka saw Pirlo passing the center line, he gave up, Smith did not, but because Pirlo itself is forward, start earlier, Smith became chasing after.


    After Pirlo took the ball after halftime, Nedvide was originally defended by Cahill and Dakote. Instead, he did not support Pirlo. Instead, he ran farther from Pirlo.


    Cahill saw that Nedved did not go in line with Pirlo, he took the initiative to intercept Pirlo, he just moved two steps, Pirlo will also face a double-team, Cahill in the front, Smith, Pirlo Still passing the ball out, the passing direction surprised Cahill.


    The ball still passed in the direction of Nedved, but it should be late!


    He made sure that Nedved didn''t respond before he came to assist, but he turned around and regretted it.


    Nedved''s running away was actually a means of confusion. He saw Ronaldinho running towards the middle road, so he simply swapped with Ronaldinho. Between this electro-optical flint, Cahill, in order to block Pirlo, instead Ronaldinho has the ball to get rid of the space.


    Ronaldinho faced with Dakote, and even saved his work. He directly passed a crotch ball. The ball passed between the legs of the French fighter. It was amazing. Ronaldinho passed the opportunity to pass the ball. What''s more, this ball was passed to Henry. Henry took the ball back and ran back, facing the ball, he also opened his legs and the ball rolled between his legs.


    Matteo, who was following Henry, stretched his foot to break when Henry missed the ball, but was carried by Henry using his body against him. His foot did not touch the ball, and the ball rolled behind them.


    Ferdinand never dreamed that this trajectory would directly penetrate Mateo''s defense zone. Apart from his shock, he was originally sealed by Nedved to run offside to make an offside. He exclaimed: It''s finished!


    If Henry slammed the ball to go straight, Nedvide must be offside, Ferdinand just spotted Henry running back, Matteo followed, and he deliberately stepped forward, entering and leaving Nedved Nedved was left offside.


    But Henry didn''t touch the ball, it was equal to Ronaldinho passing directly, Nedved did not offside at all!


    Such a ball penetrated the defense line. Nedvide rushed to the penalty spot to take the ball. It was already a single-shot trend. Leeds United goalkeeper Martin abandoned the goal, Nedvide pushed the ball to the right, Lal Mori succeeded in shooting the empty goal!


    "The goal has been scored! The goal has been scored! Leeds United lost a goal at home disastrously! Ronaldinho made a good pass through Leeds United''s defense. Nedved faced a lone selfless assist to Larson, Mill Wall scored a valuable away goal, the game did not finish even half time, Leeds United seems to have come to the edge of the cliff!"


    The stand at Elland Road Stadium was silent.


    Throwing a goal at home is a heavy blow.


    Aldridge''s mouth was slightly raised, and Leeds United''s vision was very good. The double forwards withdrew to harass Pirlo organization and limit Pirlo, which was equivalent to destroying the core of Millwall''s offense and defense conversion.


    However, there is no double back to protect the back line. As long as Millwall cracks Pirlo''s situation, the attack will advance to the frontcourt and will immediately create opponent-marking chaos.


    Putting Pirlo forward is an adventure, but the profit from the adventure is the most intuitive. As soon as he goes up, the defensive circle in front of the Leeds United penalty zone is cracked, Leeds United defends the division, and the Millwall attack group gets more space. At that moment, the Leeds united defense line was destroyed.


    I have to say, Ronaldinho passed the ball, ecstasy!


    O''Reilly was obviously angry on the sidelines.


    But his anger was obviously not aimed at this goal drop. Before that, he was very excited on the sidelines, constantly gesturing with various gestures, shouting reminders to the disciples on the court, what exactly is required, Aldridge did not understand There is no uniform standard for the gestures of the coach on the spot.


    O''Reilly''s eyes flashed. The team''s goal loss was indeed a blow, but he was more dissatisfied with the team''s offense.


    After playing the game for more than thirty minutes, Leeds United''s established tactical offensive routine has not been played once!


    These players obviously have psychological burdens, or they are afraid of Millwall, or they are obsessed with advancing to the finals. The defense is instinctive, but the consistency of the offense has diverged.


    Isn''t O''Leary illusory about advancing to the Champions League final or even holding the cup?


    This is the third year he has officially coached the team. Although a trophy has not yet been obtained, it is far less than the younger man who has been compared for many times. However, if he can lead Leeds to the finals and Holding the cup, he, David O''Reilly, will be among the top coaches in Europe!


    The top four in the Premier League and the quarter-finals in the Champions League, such a record looking all over Europe, what is it? In a coach''s brilliant resume, who can proudly declare: I am the top four in the Premier League and the top four in the Champions League? That would only be a laughing stock!


    The champion is the capital of the name.


    Top league champions, European champions, Intercontinental international champions, this is the measure of top coaches.


    One step, two steps, success!


    On this penultimate step, who would give up easily? Who will face hastily?


    In order to prepare for these two games, O''Reilly was a waste of sleep and sleep, frantically studying the Millwall game video. This kind of research has long been beyond the scope of league competition. After all, the league has 38 rounds and only played two games. The battlefield will be a chance to dominate the World War I, win Millwall, and get the tickets to the finals. That is a famous decisive battle!


    O''Reilly will not fall here, Millwall can calmly face these two games, Leeds United cannot!


    Don¡¯t be crazy, don¡¯t use anything to compete against Millwall who is so popular in UEFA!


    This lost ball removed the psychological burden of the Leeds United team, coupled with O''Leary''s excitement on the sidelines, the dead stand rejuvenated, and everyone cheered for Leeds United.


    In fact, if Leeds United fell to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, this has been a glorious season for the club, but only for the Leeds United club itself, looking at England, the entire European football, no summit, no king, how can there be What great achievements can show off?


    Leeds United re-launched, the game rhythm is still very fast, the Premier League team headed by Millwall, Manchester United, Liverpool and other teams, represented in the restoration of European football, at this stage is not relying on European football style, and It is to promote their own characteristics, physical fitness, confrontation, high-tempo fight, than art, they are far from the opponents of many European giants, but exert their specialty to the extreme, they can win a country that belongs to the colors of the Premier League.


    After scoring, Millwall played a little relaxed and tried to control the game. This is what Pirlo is good at. The speed is moderate, and the opponent is caught by surprise.


    Today, Millwall played in the Premier League civil war, inevitably fierce physical confrontation, Leeds United is quite fierce in this regard, the players in the team are not afraid of confrontation.


    It was only in the 43rd minute that Aldridge realized that the original long pass between Kelly and Hart was not their blind long pass to pass the ball to the "dead end", but that the offensive players of Leeds United had failed to form a unity of thought and did not play Tactical effect.


    And this time, they made it.


    Hart''s long pass in the backcourt, Schneider was originally to mark Kewell, but Kewell ran away, Viduka''s striker instead pulled the edge to catch the ball, Schneider was depressed, the other was strong and strong More than a dozen centimeters higher than himself, Viduka passed the ball to Smith after the stop.


    Gattuso went with him. Smith didn''t dare to stop the ball. He directly took the ball and put the ball straight to the left. This was a triangle pass. Kewell took the ball to the bottom. Materazzi blocked the inside line. Schneider also Turning his head to defend, Kewell passed back outside the penalty area, Cahill suddenly plugged in, broke through Pirlo''s defense and entered the penalty area, Gattuso just wanted to defend, Cahill shot from 45 degrees.


    This is a tricky half-height ball. Palyuka flew to save the ball with a single palm, but the distance was too far. When he flew to the extreme, his hand was unable to exert his strength. The ball blocked the left side of the penalty area near the bottom line.


    Kewell has an advantage in his own position. At this time, he followed up with a volley before Schneider''s sliding shovel blocked and sent the ball into the upper corner of the goal under a narrow angle.

 Chapter 616： See tricks

    "Leeds United equalized the score before the end of the first half! This is very important for Leeds United. If it falls behind at half time, it will be really difficult to play in the second half! Palyuka blocked Cahill''s long shot, but Can''t stop Kewell''s supplementary shot. Kewell really dared to shoot the ball. He kicked at almost zero angle and sent the ball into the upper corner of the goal. However, because Palyuka saved the ball and fell to the ground, this The difficulty of the ball is only to grasp the angle, without defeating the goalkeeper defense."


    Kewell''s goal set off a crowd in the stands, and O''Reilly almost rushed into the field to celebrate.


    Aldridge''s expression was as usual, and his mind recalled the routine of Leeds United''s offensive.


    In fact, it is nothing to say how strong Millwall''s defense is. After all, this team does not dominate Europe with desperate defense. On the contrary, it is famous for offensive.


    After all, the balance between offense and defense is the middle way, and it seems to change a lot. In the end, it is just that the two ends of the offense and defense have not evolved to the extreme.


    Aldridge has also used a balanced offensive and defensive tactics. 442 is a typical example. It can stand on the top court, but it is difficult to play the dominance of the pinnacle. Therefore, he only advocates 433, which is gorgeous to cater to the football market and to meet the offensive offensive in football. Trend.


    In the offensive and defensive integration, Millwall used the offensive to suppress the opponent, forcing the opponent to invest more troops on the defensive end, thereby weakening the offensive, but to say that the whole game does not give the opponent a trace of opportunity, especially the strong team, it is too bad It''s realistic.


    The effect of this kind of offensive suppression is clear. The opponent does have an offensive opportunity, but the offensive means has become single, because in the fleeting offensive opportunity, the opponent has a small number of offenses and can only focus on playing, unlike Mill. Wall''s oppressive offense is changing.


    Aldridge glanced at the thrilling O''Reilly. This goal made Odric understand that O''Reilly must have spared no effort in preparing for this game, and actually worked hard.


    The first is to figure out Millwall''s defensive routine.


    Millwall, who uses high pressure to snatch, the four principles of defensive core, first, delay, harass opponents from the front line during the offensive and defensive transition, obstruct the opponents organization of the attack, the best effect can be played in the game with Valencia In the 180-minute game, the opponent''s counterattack threat was minimized. Second, balance. With the harassment of the forward players for the first time, other offensive players quickly returned to the area where they should be responsible for defense. Third, Concentrate, after defensive return to a reasonable defensive position or crazy snatch, methodical, fourth, control, the last link is when the opponent''s offense advances to a dangerous zone, the defensive player must calm down and do a good mark defense , To force opponents to stay away from dangerous areas in layers.


    These four principles are the core of Millwall''s defensive tactics, which have been instilled in the players for many years.


    The first three points are interlocking. Delay, balance, concentration. Any problem in the link will lead to flaws in the defense, directly jump to the last point, control, that is, let the opponent''s attack advance to the dangerous zone before the penalty zone, defense The last gate.


    Under normal circumstances, after the opponent succeeds in defense, the offensive ball is forward, from the back line to the midfield line to the front line. How to pass and run, each team''s play is different, but the ball is always from the back Forward, even adjustment, is a short distance transfer.


    Millwall''s defensive strategy is designed on this basis. The forward harassed the defender to take the ball, and when passing to the midfield line, he will fall into the Millwall defensive tactics that came to the balance stage. After stealing the ball, the success rate of anti-robbing is relatively high, and then a second attack is directly formed.


    O''Reilly made a thorough study of this set, and then made changes in the offensive, which made a blind eye as a cover.


    When changing from defense to defense, the defender passed the ball to the midfielder for a short distance. The midfielder took the initiative to take the ball but did not stop the ball, and did not give Millwall a chance to fight back. He quickly passed the ball to the full-back. It seemed to be In the backcourt, he fell back and passed back, but hit the poor balance and delay conversion in Millwall''s defensive strategy. The defensive forward saw the ball go out of the defender line and then retreated, the opponent''s full-back was released, and The midfielder does not organize an offensive, only responds and then returns to the full-back, allowing the full-back to launch a long-pass attack. The key organizational points are Kelly and Hart.


    They played in the backcourt and dared not hit the middle. The traditional English long pass is far away. It is too old-fashioned to fight the striker and defender to grab the spot.


    And O''Reilly could make Viduka a center puller as a fulcrum, not to mention ingenuity, but it was really threatening, causing Millwall''s mark to appear chaotic, partial defense is at a disadvantage, and penetrated the wing.


    Leeds United''s offensive has limitations. They can''t fully spread the offensive points. They can only concentrate on the local attack. The routine is single, and they can be suddenly scored. One hit will kill, which shows that the team has been carefully practiced in training.


    Before Kelly and Hart played in the backcourt and caused his teammates to be trapped in isolation, Aldridge only felt that the other side was kicking Hu. Now it seems that Leeds United was too nervous and conservative before losing the ball. O''Reilly was excited and angry. It is from this point.


    Aldridge did not give any instructions to the team. The first half of the game ended immediately. The 1:1 score will not have a psychological impact on the Millwall team. The away goals are equal to two. They still have a lead.


    As for the defense line being penetrated, Aldridge does not blame the defender. The defense on the football field is originally passive, the offense is active, the offense actively evolves unpredictable changes, and the defense can change from static to dynamic. Even in Italy¡¯s defensive country, the original history of the AC Milan defense line with top guards such as Carrazze, Maldini, Nesta, etc., all seasons add up to at least 30 goals, not The player''s ability problem is the possibility that the offense evolves. The variable factors on the football field cannot be controlled by manpower.


    If you are really determined to pursue the ultimate defense, then Millwall¡¯s tactical system will fundamentally change. Audric can learn from Mourinho and put on a 433 but tactical system with a defensive-based formation. A double back and a midfielder. The kind of sturdy shield first waits for the opponent to attack and resists with the shield. When the opponent''s attack reveals flaws, the other hand raises the sword and pierces from the side of the shield to kill the opponent. The transformation of this is this routine.


    The football field has the same goal, and Aldrich doesn''t think he pursues more self-style, but with regard to Millwall''s team, he withdrew to fight the ultimate anti-rebellion.


    At the end of the half, the players from both sides walked into the player¡¯s tunnel. The Leeds United players encouraged each other to fight for a reversal in the second half. The Millwall players looked a little calm and the score was a draw, but in fact they were leading. This was only 180 minutes and 45 minutes. For the top teams, the longer the time, the stronger the confidence to win.


    Give me 45 minutes, I am strong.


    Give me 90 minutes and I am stronger.


    Give me 180 minutes, I will win!


    After returning to the locker room, Aldridge opened the tactical board and made targeted adjustments to the attack of Leeds United. Instead, there was nothing to say about the offense. When the time dragged on, Leeds United could not hold back, and the quality of the overall offense and defense would decline. The stability of the strong team within 90 minutes is also one of the characteristics.


    Anxious to rush to promote the attack may instead be self-destructing the Great Wall, knocking out the game, restricting the opponent to always be the first, and fighting the idea of ??entering one more than the opponent, sooner or later will suffer a big loss.


    In the second half, when the two sides returned to the field, O''Leary saw Audridge standing indifferently in front of the coach''s seat, and said in his heart that it was false to admire.


    Once in a sea of ??hardships, in the position of head coach, Aldridge experienced much more storms and waves than him. This is only the Champions League semi-finals. If it is not a defeat, don''t think of Aldridge discoloration.


    But O''Reilly''s own heartbeat has been very fast. He wants to calm himself down, but he can''t do it. No matter who attacked and defended the two teams, he was very nervous.


    Aldridge has also been excited and nervous. It¡¯s like a roller coaster. The ups and downs are actually very exciting. If you are addicted to adrenaline, it means that the junkie is relieved by drugs, but he also learned the lessons of failure from it. The situation, timely substitutions, and accurate tactical adjustments all require a calm mind to make the most correct decision. If you can¡¯t calm down, then you really can only rely on the player¡¯s own flash of light. Fate is so big that it can''t be flashed, but can only admit it.


    After only 10 minutes of play in the second half, O''Reilly''s heart was completely disturbed.


    Millwall clearly had a tactical adjustment in the midfield.


    Especially defensive adjustments.


    In the delay of this link, Henry will still carry out harassment tasks between the defender and the midfielder, but Ronaldinho and Larson stare at the two full-backs Kelly and Hart, while Millwall¡¯s double guard, So After Scatter changed to drag, Leeds United even if the offensive advances to the side, and then develops to the middle, even if Matrazz can''t see the large area, Southgate can accurately intercept in time.


    O''Reilly glanced incredulously at Aldridge with his hands in his pockets and his face indifferent.


    How long is this?


    Millwall''s goal drop was before the end of the first half. In a few minutes, Odridge not only adjusted the defensive tactics, but also allowed the players to effectively execute on the field.


    That was the killer skill that O''Reilly spent half a month from research to thinking about countermeasures to tactical drills!


    O''Reilly felt like he was struggling to hit a towering high mountain with difficulty.


    He didn¡¯t think that Millwall would adjust, but fortunately, Aldridge would only strengthen the backcourt defense, increase the defensive personnel input, and thus weaken the offensive investment, so that Leeds United has other offense points to release, it can be said With a wonderful game, everything is live.


    But Aldridge¡¯s adjustment of the back defense is only a slight change. The liberation of Southgate is enough to limit the threat of Leeds United. The most important thing is to provide Leeds United with the source of the offensive change. The two offensive full-backs, regardless of Offensive or defensive, both Ronaldinho and Larson are suppressed, which will disintegrate O''Reilly''s tactical settings from the roots!


    In the midfield, cheering on each other, the Leeds United players were in a state of anxiety.


    The coach''s established tactics can no longer be threatened. The full-backs are not good at interfering with the falling point. Even Hart was once intercepted by Larson. If it was not Henry, he would outstrip the ball and hit the goalkeeper Martin. Leeds United I''m afraid I will throw another ball.


    They couldn''t help but look at the coach O''Reilly on the sidelines and wanted to see if the coach had any tactical adjustments. Playing this way is not a solution at all.


    At home, you have to win!


    If you don''t win, go to the Lion King Stadium, the momentum is not at a level at all, don''t say that the other party has the advantage of being at ease and the conditions of the venue.


    However, Leeds United players saw O''Reilly frown and bow his head, like, thinking of a way...


    This picture is too much blow to player confidence.


    At least, the head coach now looks helpless and can''t help the team!

 Chapter 617： Sad Elland Road

    Fans in the stands of Elland Road Stadium became restless, and there was much discussion.


    After all, watching the ball is watching the ball. Not every audience has the leisure to analyze the details of technology and tactics, to get to the bottom, what is the use of thinking so much? Brazil claims that every fan is a coach, but these coaches cheer for the Brazilian national team, but can not intervene to change the Brazilian team''s tactical play on the field.


    The most intuitive feeling in the eyes of Leeds United fans is: passive! There is no threat to attack!


    The standard for measuring whether an attack is threatening is simple: shooting.


    After Leeds United started the second half, they couldn''t even get a shot, and the fans saw it clearly.


    Of course, the players on Leeds United want to win, but the established tactical play loses the expected power. Looking to the sidelines, O''Reilly did not make adjustments. Their offense became like a headless fly. Wherever I count, I still want to go to the threat zone, but I am always resolved by Millwall.


    After two visits, the players were restless, and the impact of the offensive weakness was that the defense began to be chaotic.


    In the 59th minute, Leeds United had just succeeded in defending. Ferdinand blocked Nedved''s straight pass to Henry. In the face of Henry''s counter-robbing, Ferdinand passed the ball to Kelly.


    Kelly had just stopped the ball and stood in front of Ronaldinho. Kelly opened his big feet to make a clearance when he was panicked. Ronaldinho stretched out to stop. The two were close. Kelly''s free ball hit Ronaldinho''s leg and hit the middle. Cahill didn''t expect that the ball was flying towards him. He didn''t notice anyone behind him. He was waiting for the ball in the same place. As a result, Gattuso decisively grabbed the ball before stealing it.


    Gattuso stopped the ball and passed it to Pirlo.


    Dakote responded quickly, and quickly drove towards Pirlo, but Pirlo responded faster and didn''t stop the ball. He kicked the ball out of the outside of the foot and divided the ball to the left.


    Ronaldinho just ran over to catch the ball and took a step horizontally to cut into the penalty area.


    Ferdinand retreated, Kelly closed inward, Ronaldinho stopped in front of Ferdinand, and turned to dribble horizontally. As a result, he just drew the ball to the right, he was shoveled to the ground fiercely, it was a side Rear tackle.


    What the opponent shoveled was his support leg, which he couldn''t avoid, and obviously twisted it. Fortunately, he had a sturdy body. At least he had a protective force and quickly jumped off to remove the weight of the leg. The support cushion was shoveled firmly The serious point is the broken leg!


    Even so, he felt the pain in his left ankle twisted and made him instantly sweaty and screamed.


    Ronaldinho just fell to the ground. His other leg pressed down on the leg of the man who felled him. The other party hadn''t gotten up yet, but said a word that made Ronaldinho completely irrational.


    "Fuck me up! Don''t crawl on the ground to learn how to call a monkey!"


    Ronaldinho heard the voice and knew who was the one who felled him.


    Bowyer!


    In today''s game, Bowyer and Kelly sandwiched Ronaldinho between the front and back, physical contact is inevitable, and occasional verbal friction is also normal, especially when playing football. Who can speak without dirty words? Famous coaches will scold people, popular lovers will be middle-aged, and Beckham will raise his middle finger. After all, Luyinchang is not a school. There are gentlemen here, but they do not deliberately cultivate gentlemen.


    It''s not uncommon to verbally pinch and scold each other, but Bowyer''s words are too bad!


    The most important thing is that word, monkey.


    This is clearly racial discrimination!


    Ronaldinho was shoveled, and his left ankle was still in pain. At the moment, he was again racist. He was suddenly angry and broke one leg. He also stood up quickly, and then stood on one foot, shouting at Bowyer: "Did anyone teach you how to act like this **** guy! You are a shit, a **** who is not as good as shit!"


    Bowyer stood up angrily, his head against Ronaldinho, and said with impunity: "Being a human being? Did your mother monkey teach you to be a human being?"


    Ronaldinho''s father died early, and his mother and brother supported the family after that.


    Bowyer crossed the border, definitely crossed the border!


    Ronaldinho waved his fist, but he still gritted his teeth and still didn''t swing it. He continued this punch, regardless of whether the opponent was intentional, but he must pay a painful price, which will have a team impact Great influence.


    But he saw Bowyer''s disdainful look and ridiculous expression, and finally he couldn''t hold back, spitting directly at the other person''s face!


    Before Bowyer humiliated Ronaldinho, the referee''s whistle did not sound. He saw Ronaldinho screaming on the ground. He felt that this scene was too easy to guide the referee to judge, so he angered Ronaldinho, at least let Ronaldinho stand up first. , Don''t lie in the restricted area.


    Just when Ronaldinho stood up, the referee''s whistle also sounded, but the referee''s hand had not yet pointed to the penalty spot, and he ran to speed up. Obviously Ronaldinho and Bowyer collided.


    "Ronaldinho was shoveled from behind by Bowyer in the penalty area. This should be a penalty, but the referee''s whistle is slower. Now, the situation has become very serious and Ronaldinho looks excited. A spat with Bowyer, wow, Ronaldinho spit on Bowyer''s face!"


    Just when the mouth spit out Bowie''s face, Henry pushed Bowyer from behind, and then turned around to protect Ronaldinho. He could see that Ronaldinho''s left foot was definitely injured, and he stood on one foot.


    Matteo and Kelly also rushed over and took Bowyer.


    It was originally a conflict between the two. Both teammates thought that the cause was Bowyer''s fierce tackle. Ronaldinho was angry because he was violated.


    But when Bowyer wiped his face and tried to beat Ronaldinho, his clamoring words made everyone understand the real reason.


    "You, the monkey, roll over to me, and I will beat you! You **** should go back to the forest!"


    Ronaldinho turned his head to the other side, closed his eyes, and his clenched fist was almost bleeding.


    The head referee also heard Bowyer''s words and rushed over to show Bowyer a red card without hesitation.


    Bowyer was still chattering insults, and suddenly he was surrounded.


    Gattuso, Materazzi, Pirlo, Southgate, Zambrotta, Larson, Schneider, Nedved, Palyuka, and nine people surrounded him for two laps.


    Henry helped Ronaldinho, Leeds United''s players were separated by Millwall players, Materazzi and Gattuso, and Southgate, three people also pointed at Bowyer and insulted and warned.


    Bowyer found that many of his teammates didn''t seem to help him.


    Ferdinand stood aside with her arms akimbo from the beginning, and Dakote turned his back to close his eyes, revealing a bitter expression.


    Teammates know that Bowyer is a racist.


    Although Alan Smith often caused disputes on the court, his temper was hot, but it was within the scope of football.


    Bowyer, who is an **** both on and off the court, is really rare. It is a shame to be his teammate, especially if he has black blood, and there is no friendship at all.


    There is also a messy boy named Woodgate who is in the Leeds United team. He and Bowyer also called the Leeds United double star. Last year, they committed public anger for beating a non-white student. They all protested on the street. To the point, now that Woodgate was beaten into the Cold Palace at Leeds United, Bowyer was forced to use by O''Reilly, but he didn''t expect to be confused on the court today.


    Aldrich himself didn''t understand what was happening on the sidelines, even if Bowyer clamored, he could not hear on the sidelines.


    However, when he heard that Leeds United fans were learning monkey calls in the stands near the incident, and the situation was getting worse, he realized that Ronaldinho had suffered racial discrimination, so he was angry.


    I''m depreesed.


    Aldridge''s heart is cold.


    He didn''t have a feeling of being out of business, and he didn''t think he was only sympathetic to Ronaldinho or out of love at the moment.


    Many people naively believe that racial discrimination is white against black people, in fact, yellow skin will be discriminated against.


    This is where he feels sad. If he does not have this white leather bag, he will inevitably encounter racial discrimination in the European football field, whether in England or in the South and North Wars. Even if Aragones, who has taken over as the coach of the Spanish national team, does not laugh at Henry in front of all the players of the national team, is it black nigga, black shit?


    Many years ago, the treatment suffered by Makelele here, today, Ronaldinho also realized.


    There was a riot in the stands, and Millwall fans who could come to cheer on must be **** fans. For Millwall, although they are located in East London, despite their economic backwardness, they are at least more open in terms of race. After all, they are in In the region, immigrant families have been pouring in here since World War II. After more than half a century, it is said that multi-ethnics live together, and immigrants from different countries rush to the landing site. Maybe there are international groups, but there is no group racial discrimination. The outbreak, so they have no problems with the acceptance of foreign players, black players.


    If you want to make trouble, the Lions fans are second in England. No one dares to be the first. A few years ago, it was the infamous football hooligan cradle.


    Now seeing their players being racist on the court by some Leeds United fans, the imitation of the monkeys is extremely harsh, and the crazy lion fans rushed directly to the stands where the Leeds fans were. The security guards could not stop the aisles.


    Away team fans are few, but they can¡¯t stand this group of fierce people. The Leeds fans on the other side of the aisle are quite innocent. The fans in the stands are racist. They are suffering. Not all Leeds fans are racists. Lions fans don''t care about these, they are not law enforcers, how can they have the leisure to distinguish you from good and evil black and white, in short, to vent their anger.


    The riots in the stands disrupted the game.


    Aldrich didn¡¯t go to O¡¯Reilly Theory. This kind of thing has little to do with the head coach. The head coach is not the player¡¯s father and mother, nor is he obliged to shape the player¡¯s values ??and racial outlook. Bowie''s mine not only exploded in such a crucial game today, but also injured himself.


    As this development continues, it is possible that Leeds United will be sentenced to 0:3 at home.


    Aldridge walked into the court, and the conflict caused by Bowyer had subsided. Smith, Kelly, Hart, and Martin pulled Bowyer out of Millwall¡¯s pile, and the referee had shown him The red card, the coach behind O''Reilly also stepped out of the field, almost dragging Bowyer out of the field.


    Aldridge walked to Ronaldinho, the referee also came to Ronaldinho at this time, and showed a red card to Ronaldinho. Anyway, Ronaldinho spit at Bowyer and spit directly on the other party''s face. Is not allowed.


    Aldridge calmly said to the referee: "You have witnessed the whole process of the incident. You showed my player a red card. I do not protest, complain, and do not comment after the game. But this is an ordinary red card. If the referee classifies this as a malicious foul and an additional penalty will be imposed, then Millwall will pursue the penalty. The racist discrimination is suspected, but the victim is not protected. We all understand the consequences."


    For football match organizers and law enforcers, the most reluctant to encounter such events beyond the scope of football, political slogans, racial discrimination, etc., a wrong or inappropriate statement is likely to be misinterpreted by the outside world, and then ignite. .


    The referee glanced at Aldridge deeply, without saying a word, he did not go to the muddy water anyway, what happened in the game, it was written in the game report, whether the party concerned should be investigated for the penalty, and handed over to the referee committee to decide .


    With the help of the team doctor, Ronaldinho was fined and left.


    Aldridge walked to the nearby stands and looked up at the entire stand to cheer on the Leeds fans who were imitating monkeys.


    This group of people is more exciting, like a party.


    Aldridge suddenly smiled.


    These fans are really bad.


    Do not know how to do this, may Leeds United be directly sentenced to 0:3 defeat at home?


    It can be considered an alternative. This Champions League semi-final, Mo said that there are many regions and countries broadcasting in Europe and the world.


    Where did this face go?

 Chapter 618： Irreversible

    The head referee does not have the power to decide the result of the game, but the head referee has the power to decide whether to continue the game. According to his own judgment, the game can be terminated, no matter how many minutes the game has been played.


    Aldridge stood on the sidelines. Hundreds of Leeds United fans were imitating the monkey cry in the stands. Gradually, some of the Leeds United fans around those people took the initiative to walk away, seemingly not wanting to be with the group of people.


    Each team has a lot of fan organizations, and the nature of the fan organization is not uniform. Just like Millwall also has a football rogue organization. The main force that used to fight against West Ham United was them, but it was a few years ago. It has been disintegrated. In addition to Millwall''s promotion to the Premier League and the blacklist of the FA, the rise of Millwall''s own influence and the expansion of the fan base, such rogue organizations have been marginalized and cannot be said to disappear completely, but It is difficult to make waves.


    Leeds United fans themselves are not known as football hooligans, but their negative feature is racial discrimination.


    Aldrich is not interested in studying the local cultural composition of Leeds. This kind of thing is not universal. At least it is not uncommon in Europe. Italy and Spain are not only forbidden. Even examples of fan groups committing crimes are common.


    The traditional characteristics of football hooligans are riots in the stands, off-court brawls, and how important the game is. It¡¯s the pursuit of venting one¡¯s arms. Fans come to the court to watch the ball. They all have personal pursuits, and some simply appreciate the game. Some are chasing the stars, and some are used to vent the boredom of the public. The football is a popular social responsibility. One of the important social responsibilities it carries is to let the people reasonably and legally vent. Before British football vigorously advocated it in the past, its background was also the "sexual suppression" of the entire society. At the top of the country, football has become a vent for the public.


    Football hooligans use violence to vent, and racists can also find a way to vent their self-pursuit here, and they can also use the twisted meaning of "defending white supremacy" as a shield.


    The referee approached Aldridge and ordered him to return to the visiting team''s coach seat, not to provoke the fans here.


    Aldridge raised his right hand in the direction of the stands and said lightly: "If they do not stop this insulting move, Millwall will exit. If UEFA judges Millwall to be eliminated, yes, Millwall will never participate in Europe. Intercontinental events organized by the Football Association."


    Aldridge turned around and walked towards the coach seat.


    He stubbornly talked, and his attitude was firm.


    Mo said that in this situation Millwall is not wrong at all. Is Leeds United and Millwall more important to UEFA''s brand value?


    Moreover, Millwall is still one of the members of G14!


    Ronaldinho was fouled and was racially discriminated against by the opponent''s players. This stadium''s home team fans broke out again and formed a large-scale racial discrimination.


    It''s really unreasonable, UEFA dare to Pauliz United?


    Racial discrimination is definitely beyond the scope of football. In the spread and guidance of human universal values, will UEFA be a negative example?


    The referee doesn¡¯t feel that Audridge is threatening himself. For him, he¡¯s a public official. Now there are fan conflicts in the stands. The game must be interrupted. If Leeds United cannot restore the order of the stands and let the fans stop racism, then he can Directly declare the end of the game, even if this pair of Champions League matches, will be a heavy blow to the image of English football.


    The result of the match will be determined by the tournament organizer, UEFA.


    It was Millwall who was sentenced to a 0:3 loss on exit, or Leeds United stadium management who was dereliction of duty was sentenced to a 0:3 loss, and it was not the referee''s turn to worry.


    Out of personal emotions, the referee did not put any pressure on Millwall. He quit the game, the player retired first, and then he found O''Leary, and O''Leary informed Leeds United Club that the stand could not be restored within 15 minutes. Then, the game is over.


    O''Reilly was a coach. Stadium management was not within his responsibilities. He notified the club''s management to deal with the current situation, and he returned to the locker room, trying to restore the momentum of the Leeds players, condensing combat power and Millwall. Continue to fight.


    The situation is very unfavorable, but after all, it is not without hope of reversal.


    However, in such a crucial game, in the tactical play, O''Reilly''s carefully prepared killing was easily resolved by Aldridge. He was so distracted that he could do nothing but boost morale in the locker room. Adjustment.


    In the court box, Arthur sat there alone, and Ritzdale went to deal with the riots in the stadium.


    In fact, everyone knows that the game will resume. Most of the fans of Leeds United hope this team is brilliant, and the game ended so early. Whether it is negative publicity or UEFA punishment, it is definitely very bad for Leeds United.


    Arthur watched the crazy lion fans fight with the Leeds United fans and couldn¡¯t help but recall the kind of passionate era that happened 20 or 30 years ago. The grandstand riots in his eyes are just small ripples, and football hooligans 20 years ago. When the entire football world was in full swing, the conflict that broke out was really bloody. Now, even if the children are awkward, push and shuffle, throwing debris and kicking black feet, and after hiding, they hide in Tibet. , As if I dare to do it or not.


    A large number of security guards flooded into the stands that witnessed the conflict, and a group of fans were taken away. The racially discriminated stands were also taken away by security personnel. Atherton felt disappointed.


    When he was young, he likes to provoke mischief. It''s not a bully like a man and a woman. It''s just that someone has picked his head. How can he get involved in it, it''s a catharsis.


    Arthur took out her cell phone, found the second son''s phone and dialed it.


    "dad?"


    "Well, are you watching the game?"


    "No. Is there any suspense for Millwall''s promotion?"


    "It has nothing to do with this. Leeds United bought a batch of players from Millwall two years ago. You handled them, right?"


    "How do you care about this? It''s me. Those players are owned by my agency. What''s wrong? Millwall wants to buy it back?"


    Arthur swayed her legs and suddenly shifted the subject.


    "Some teams in Italy have not been able to operate in the past two years, they all have to rely on selling stars, right?"


    "What the **** do you want to ask? The club is in financial crisis. Of course, selling stars is the first choice. Selling cash back has a lot of money. The high salary of the star itself is also a big burden. And cut wage expenses again."


    "Well, how did I hear that Italian agents can get a lot of money in player transactions? Why didn''t you?"


    "Please, do I have to ask Aldridge for money? I signed a player from his team. When he sold the player, I slaughtered him again, he doesn''t mind, you might want to beat me?"


    Arthur understands that he actually didn''t care about this before, but he only occasionally listened to news from the industry after becoming chairman, only thinking that the operation mode of brokers in England and Italy is different.


    Generally speaking, a part of the transfer fee for player transfers will be withdrawn by the brokerage company as a commission. There is no fixed proportion. This fee does not count as a broker¡¯s rebate. After all, the buying club needs to sign a player from the target club, except When the two clubs reached an agreement, the players themselves had to nod their heads. The agent convinced the player to transfer, which was a credit, while some agents negotiated with the player. The player paid a signature fee, and the agent took a commission. Anyway, there are no established rules, and specific cases are analyzed in detail.


    Millwall sold players these years, regardless of whether the player agent is Andrew, at least announced the transfer fee, Millwall is all sacked, Andrew is embarrassed to draw commissions, and the salary of his own star is very expensive after a year, and For those players who are not Andrew¡¯s transfers, their agent has to win. Millwall disagrees, wants to get an extra salary, and asks the opposite club to go. Anyway, Millwall will not pay extra from the transfer fee. Not close, get out.


    "Dad, what are you going to call me to say?"


    "Ritzdale just talked to me just now, Leeds United''s financial situation is not very good."


    "Huh? Then?"


    "I''m almost 60."


    "You are not even 55 years old!"


    "Anyway, you have to prepare a gift for my 60th birthday."


    "The more you say, the more confused I am."


    "Buy me an old castle with a history of more than 200 years, and I will go there to support the elderly."


    "Are you looking for the wrong person? I''m going to find the elder brother. It''s a gift of millions of pounds. You sell me."


    Arthur laughed and scolded: "Sell you now? Really worthy of yourself. I don''t think it should be difficult. If Leeds United sells stars, do you draw commissions, isn''t it enough?"


    Andrew understood Arthur''s intention to call.


    Hearing Arthur''s talk and kindness from beginning to end, he now realized that the old man was not happy with Leeds.


    "Well, I figured it out."


    "The time is still far away. I slowly pick the old castle. Anyway, I am a layman. Let me pick the most expensive one first."


    "Are you trying to make Leeds lose?" What happened? Aldridge?"


    "Okay, bye."


    Arthur hung up the phone, and Ritzdale pulled his face back into the box. Arthur smiled at him. Ritzdale barely squeezed out a smile and sat down, ready to continue watching the ball.


    Finally, the riots in the stands were stopped, but the momentum created by Leeds United from the beginning of the opening disappeared.


    The stands are quite empty. In addition to the troubled fans who were taken away, some of the fans of Leeds United left early in frustration with the team''s performance today.


    Bowyer is talented, and there is no doubt that the expectations he had placed in the first two years even surpassed Beckham''s, but this kind of misbehaving person, even if he is playing for Leeds United, many **** fans still feel that he cannot tolerate his behavior.


    Not to mention the bad performance on the court today, just because he was out of the court caused a lot of wrongdoing, which made many fans unacceptable.


    This is a question of value guidance. After all, adult fans, fans with children, of course, hope that their children are also fans of Leeds United, and then come to the stadium to cheer for the team, but the negative impact of people such as Bowyer , It''s too big.


    This is different from star shopping at nightclubs. It is a part of normal life. Nightclubs are not illegal places. Adults can go to them, and behaviors like drug abuse, hurting people, and the like are illegal!


    O''Reilly cheered Leeds United players in the locker room, let them forget the dispute caused by Bowyer, while also analyzing the situation to cheer up the team as much as possible.


    Bowyer was sent off, and Ronaldinho of Millwall was sent off.


    The field is 10 dozen.


    He seemed to use a balanced situation to boost morale, but Viduka asked in an untimely manner: "If we restart the game, we will be awarded a penalty, right?"


    O''Reilly was speechless, and other Leeds players bowed their heads and lamented.


    Bowyer was sent off, and he gave his opponent a penalty before the end of the game. Although he didn''t foul, Ronaldinho had an angle shot after the ball was put. Block out, now, give the opponent a penalty, if the home is beaten 1:2, Liz United what promotion?


    Fighting hard? Fighting spirit?


    Who believes? This **** is the Champions League semi-finals, they have fighting spirit, Millwall counseled?


    On the contrary, Millwall''s fighting spirit is not reflected in the fight for fouls and brave confrontation, but the calmness of his outrageous calm.


    Leeds United still hasn''t solved the problem of how to attack, especially now that an offensive player has been sent off, and many players'' moods have fallen to the bottom.

 Chapter 619： The epiphysis fades in no time

    Alan Road Stadium, the visiting team locker room.


    Ronaldinho has left, in addition to being sent off because of a red card, but also related to his injury, the specific circumstances, it will take a few hours to reach a conclusion.


    Aldridge leaned against the locker door with his arms around his chest. He returned to the locker room without saying a word. For morale, he was not required to mobilize. He believed that every player was in the same mood as him.


    There is anger in the quiet.


    As Ronaldinho''s teammates, even Henry, who also has black blood, did not want to comfort Ronaldinho in the past.


    If it is comforting, Ronaldinho appears to be fragile, and at the same time, it will deliberately enlarge the black and white of the complexion.


    The morbid madman of Bowyer really took him seriously, that was too much exaltation.


    Someone from the referee team will inform that the game will resume.


    The players in the locker room stood up in the water, as if invisible with an immense fighting spirit, Aldridge spoke at this time.


    "Unexpected things happen in football games, some are intentionally done by our opponents, the purpose is to disturb our attention, some are not, what we need to do is, never forget the rules on the football field, the winner is king !Whether it is to prove that you are stronger than your opponent, or simply want to teach your opponent and win, is the only way.


    ...


    "The game has been interrupted for about 25 minutes. Now the players from both sides are back on the field. Both Bower and Ronaldinho were sent off. Both teams played one less and neither side was replaced. Regular time in the game There are still half an hour, let''s see what will happen in these half an hour. When the game resumed, Millwall scored a penalty, which was caused by a foul on Ronaldinho in the penalty area before Bowie was interrupted. ."


    The passionate atmosphere of the home team has faded from the stands of Elland Road Stadium. Instead, the crazy Lions fans of the visiting team made cheering cheering for the stadium here.


    Players from both teams enter the court and take a penalty.


    Leeds United players stood in a row outside the penalty area and goalkeeper Martin stood in the middle of the goal to stretch his body.


    Larson was going to take a penalty kick, but he was pulled by his arm and turned his head to look at it, the little handsome boy Pirlo.


    Pirlo said softly: "This penalty let me come, all right?"


    Larson nodded without hesitation.


    Pirlo walked into the penalty area, repositioned the ball again, and then withdrew a few steps.


    "Millwall suddenly changed the penalty shooter. Was it because Larson missed a penalty against Valencia? Pirlo came to take the penalty."


    Pirlo approached, and the moment he touched the ball, Martin rushed to the right of the goal.


    The ball jumped up slightly, drawn a beautiful parabola towards the center of the goal and fell into the goal.


    Elegant, light, like Pirlo''s chic style.


    "Spoon penalty! Pirlo took the penalty with a spoon penalty! A beautiful goal, but also a goal against Leeds United morale! Martin kicked the ball into the sky angrily, maybe he felt humiliated!"


    Mo said goalkeeper Martin, Leeds United''s players on the court, fans in the stands, feel that this impeccable spoon penalty makes Liz United self-confidence.


    O''Reilly clapped the players to encourage morale and missed the penalty. This was before everyone resumed the game.


    However, no one expected Millwall to score a penalty in such a way.


    Penalty kicks were originally a test of psychological qualities. If you can use a spoon to beat your opponents, there will be an impulsive blow, which represents your own calmness.


    Aldridge closed his eyes with an expressionless face. Originally, Leeds United was just fair play in the green field, but today''s game, due to unexpected events, let the confrontation exceed the football itself, Millwall must win, and must be merciless Defeat the opponent as a counterattack to the opponent''s insulting words and deeds.


    This actually disrupted the game rhythm that Millwall was already familiar with. The UEFA Champions League played away games, mainly cautiously. The 180 minutes of the game, the first 45 minutes or even 90 minutes, may be a stage of familiarization with opponents, limiting opponents, the latter 90 Minutes is to break down opponents on the basis of restrictions, especially the knockout competitions. The first consideration of the head coach is not how to win opponents, but how to do it in an undefeated position.


    Leeds United relaunched, Millwall''s formation remained unchanged, but Ronaldinho was missing, and that side gave way to Zambrotta, while Leeds United allowed Smith to retreat to the right-back and the formation changed to 441.


    Aldridge watched for 3 minutes, secretly said: the semi-finals, the end.


    Regardless of the morale and strength of the two teams, O''Reilly''s current adjustment is only satisfactory, and the offensive threat to Millwall is zero.


    Cooper can elaborate the counterattack tactics of the unilateral flying wings to play a certain threat, but O''Reilly still considers the balance at a global level. Perhaps the concept of English football''s so-called offensive and defensive balance is deeply ingrained. Under the eyes, the strain lacks the courage to take risks.


    Leeds United''s 441, when really attacking, there were only three people, Kewell, Smith, Viduka, two midfielders were suppressed, could not go up, although Ronaldinho ended up, but Nedved and Henry''s The threat of pulling edges can still not be ignored.


    Leeds United can only put three people into the offense. This is reality, so if the offense wants to create a threat, how to connect the three people and how to form a team is the key. Position, too far away, after getting the ball into a singles fight, became a one-on-one with Millwall, at best that Viduka can pull aside to help, but the offense is still no improvement.


    10 to 10, the two teams have a balanced number of people. After changing from 11 to 11 to 10 to 10, the space of the venue remains unchanged. In other words, the space for individual play becomes larger, the defense has to take charge of more areas, and the offense has more space. use.


    In this way, Millwall''s offensive is more fierce. The strength of the strong team lies in the many offensive methods and unpredictable changes in the offensive. One of the foundations of this is space. Therefore, the root of the limitation of the weak team''s bus is space.


    In the 69th minute of the game, the situation in the midfield and frontcourt pairs was still fierce. However, Leeds United''s central road was suppressed, and the platoon formations weakened the central road in order to maintain the balance of the two sides.


    Southgate went all the way from the backcourt, did not look back after crossing the midfield line and took the ball forward, Cahill followed Pirlo, but let Southgate easily came to the front of the penalty area. Kurt''s defense zone.


    Dakote commanded the full-back to close in, and he stepped forward to intercept Southgate, but reluctantly watched Southgate pass the ball to Larsson from the right side near the center, and the latter then contacted Nedved After a two-on-one match, the counter-offside was scored from the right side of the penalty area. After the ball was scored, the angle was slightly pushed close to the corner, and the ball was sent into the goal from Martin''s armpit.


    "Millwall scored another goal! 3-1 away from Leeds United, they almost reached the final with one foot! Southgate boldly took the ball forward is the key to tearing the defensive line in the backcourt of Leeds United. The seven-year tacit agreement between Dwyder and Larson allowed them to find each other with their eyes closed. Larson''s calm push reflected his true nature of the killer in front of the door. Now, Leeds United has really come to the edge of the cliff on!"


    Larsson didn''t go to the sidelines to celebrate after scoring a goal. He turned to one-finger sky, embracing his teammates with a cold expression and walking towards the backcourt together.


    Leeds United''s military heart was completely defeated by this ball, and the fighting spirit was completely crushed.


    O''Reilly tried to inspire the team''s hearts on the sidelines, but found that no player looked at him, his shouting, physical movements, and pale.


    He turned silently, walked back to the coach seat and sat down.


    ended.


    Leeds United''s Champions League tour ends here.


    Even if it fell in the Champions League semi-finals, this should be a glorious season.


    It can be ended in this way now, and no Leeds will be proud of it.


    He looked to the other side, Aldridge put his hands in his pockets, with the same indifferent expression, and he seemed neither surprised nor happy about the goal.


    Millwall, famous for his offense, has been numb by scoring crazy goals?


    O''Reilly knew that his war with Audridge could also declare the result. Leeds lost, and he also lost.


    Even if the previous Leeds United scored the equalizer goal, from the situation and the scene, it was not troublesome for Millwall. In just a few minutes, Millwall was once again restricted to do nothing, O''Reilly felt chill. Swept across the body.


    Suddenly, he suddenly thought: I regard this as a war, a contest, but in the mind of Aldridge, perhaps this dragon battle has never started!


    The situation on the court, tactical confrontation, the team''s overall offensive and defensive status contest, Aldridge and Ferguson, Wenger, Heincks, Lippi, Bosque, Robson and other famous players have all had to rack their brains. Thinking about contingency, radical changes in desperate bets, but Millwall played Leeds United today. Aldridge never had the slightest tension, and he didn¡¯t even need to use his brains. He just watched the game step by step, and habitually targeted himself and himself. Adjustment, competition, is under the control of Millwall.


    Bowyer fouled in the penalty area, and behind it is that the Leeds United players under this "dominated" situation, the mental pressure collapsed, lost their reason, and the spiritual level was crushed.


    Leeds United was in a doldrums, with a broken heart and two goals behind. After restarting the ball, it seemed to be actively running and rushing to fight, but it did not hesitate to attack physically, but in Aldridge''s eyes, it was just a mess of chaotic soldiers.


    The other party''s offensive and defensive system is no longer available. The defensive position is serious and the attack is chaotic and disorderly. Millwall chased after the victory. The more chaotic the opponent is, the more unclear his head is and the more opportunities he has.


    In the 75th minute, Henry pulled the edge and used his personal abilities to break through the unruly defense of Leeds United. After connecting the two, he shot the far corner at a 45-degree angle in the penalty area and expanded the score to 4:1.


    The Leeds players began to complain to each other, then ignored each other with a cold face.


    A large number of Leeds fans in the stands were downcast and silently retired.


    "Henry''s goal made the suspense of the semifinals have disappeared. Millwall leads Leeds United 4-1 away. If the game ends with this score, no one believes that Leeds United can win Millwall 3 goals away. All In Europe, I am afraid that no team can do this. With the strength of Leeds United, they won Millwall a goal away. That is definitely a shocking upset. It is a miracle to win two goals. It can really win three unless Their players are possessed by gods!"


    O''Leary saw Leeds United fans leave the stands in an orderly and quiet manner, as if the white roses of Yorkshire were dying.


    In two years, from the time the buds were waiting until the moment when the brilliance was revealed, the epidemic quickly faded and faded.


    O''Reilly knows that this game will definitely lose. Now, he just wants to close in a decent way, at least not to completely disperse the team''s military heart, so that his efforts in the past three years will be wiped out.


    O''Reilly started to make substitutions, but he just called three players, but saw Millwall''s substitutions, who will be replaced, O''Reilly does not know, but, the people on the substitutions will be Klose, he was already standing on the sidelines.


    O''Reilly suddenly changed color, and a helpless humiliation made him irritated, turning his head to look at Audric. It happened that Audrey also looked at him. .

 Chapter 620： Normal wins and losses

    10 out of 10 on the field, the score is 1:4.


    Millwall made a substitution at this time, it is understandable, Mo said Aldridge, 99% of the coaches may now use a defensive player to replace the offensive player to stabilize the victory.


    O''Reilly thinks so, even if he takes a step back, Aldridge uses Klose to replace an offensive player with reduced fitness, which is also acceptable.


    But somehow, O''Reilly may have thought of a record slaughter by Millwall at home last season. If Ronaldinho was not injured, the racial discrimination of Leeds United fans, Aldridge in the 4:1 score situation, It was indeed a stoppage, but now, even O''Reilly subconsciously feels that Audric''s change to Klose is not to stabilize the victory, but to expand the victory!


    This is what made O''Reilly so flamboyant that the killing was not overkill. O''Dridge led the mad lion to attack away. After the victory, the United United was not enough, but also to beat the Water Dogs, and further humiliate Leeds United!


    But when he came into contact with Aldridge''s eyes, his heart was full of flavour, and the outraged anger dissipated invisible, replaced by a kind of powerlessness and frustration.


    Aldridge was originally attracted by O''Reilly''s move as a substitute player. This is also a subconscious reaction. The opponent''s substitution is to adjust, what type of player is replaced, what kind of tactical changes will be generated, and will make yourself I have a heart.


    He looked at O''Reilly''s eyes very ordinary, but in O''Reilly''s eyes it was interpreted as a kind of detached indifference, and the strong had indifference after crushing strength.


    O''Reilly had a delusion that what he did, what Leeds United did, could not change his destiny. Before the game, he deliberately understated that Leeds United had only a 30% probability of entering the finals. Perhaps this is not low-key, but excessively arrogant!


    Aldrich no matter how Leeds United adjusts, anyway, before that, he intends to replace.


    "Mirwall substitution, Klose came on the court and replaced Gattuso! Millwall abnormally replaced the offensive player with the defensive player, they led by three goals. Leeds United also made substitution adjustments, Ole Lee... replaced striker Viduka! At the same time, he also replaced Cahill and full-back Kelly, and replaced three defensive players. Well, if the two teams are replaced by Leeds United, Millwall will take a step forward. Adjustment, this is reasonable, but now it seems that O''Reilly made an unintelligible substitution decision."


    At this time of the game, O''Reilly was also a bit dizzy, the team was behind, the stadium was unexpected, he just wanted to slap himself after the substitution!


    This substitution is a shameful defeat!


    From a tactical point of view, Millwall also strengthened the offense, and the backcourt defense became more free. At this time, Leeds United was desperate to let go, and the game was not dared to be reversed, but at least the fast attack, as long as there are enough offensive players, get back A goal or two to save face is not impossible.


    But O''Reilly really didn''t expect Audric to dare to pull back the forward!


    He had forgotten that when Aldridge dared to let the goalkeeper guards rush up, leaving West Ham United with an empty half and an open door, and now it is an adventure, what is it!


    It wasn¡¯t Aldridge¡¯s blindness to change Klose. Just as Southgate rushed up from the backcourt and tore up the opponent¡¯s defense line, instead of letting the defender rush up like this, it¡¯s better to go directly to the forward, Liz anyway The united defense line is getting chaotic.


    Now that I see Leeds United changing three defensive players, the only ones who can attack are Cowell and Smith on both sides. Aldridge simply pointed to Materazzi and let the other side rush up to Leeds United. Muddy water touches fish in the restricted area.


    The fans of Leeds United in the stands are bleeding. At this stage of the game, Leeds United has no fighting power. The other side does not have a backside. It also makes a defender rush up to play the forward. It is not that Aldridge is crazy, but Leeds will not be defeated!


    This is Elland Road Stadium!


    "The scene is too crazy, Millwall leads 4:1, but there is almost no defense against Leeds United. If Millwall is not stimulated by the previous storm, no one believes, absolutely no one believes, maybe in their hearts. , This is not as simple as a football match, but against racial discrimination!"


    Leeds United strengthened defense, at least 7 players on the field are attacking weak and defending strong, but at this time the defense has no rules at all, it is a kind of the most primitive amateur defensive strategy, where there is a leak, a swarm of rushes to intercept and there is no The overall teamwork is at your disposal.


    Millwall is in control from the periphery, and the opponent has added a defender. Veteran Radbe and Mills who replaced Kelly are defensive players. When the entire line of defense is chaotic, only the eye-catching method can be used to limit Mill. Wall is up.


    Pirlo hit a long shot and hit the opponent player. Southgate controlled the rebound ball and then passed forward. Schneider also took a long shot from the inside, reflected the bottom line, and played a tactical corner. Going in and passing the ball, Materazzi pressed Ferdinand headed the goal, but the top of the ball was higher than the crossbar.


    Leeds United began to delay the time, it can be considered to let the team take a breath, steady heart.


    Goalkeeper Martin dragged the ball out after a long delay, but Smith, who was in the front, could not catch the landing point, and Millwall continued to attack.


    If you don''t look at the progress before the game or look at the scoreboard, now you still think that Leeds United is leading, Millwall is breaking through, and Leeds United seems to have a tragic color.


    In the 85th minute, Zambrotta''s perimeter shot hit Ferdinand, and Nedv¨§d grabbed the spot and kept volleying, then volleyed, violently blasting Martin''s ten fingers off, Millwall Next city!


    "1:5, Leeds United..."


    The narrator did not know what to say.


    On the stand of Elland Road, the scene of the empty seats before the game no longer exists. The stand is half empty at this time, and the number of spectators is still decreasing rapidly.


    The Leeds players want to end the game soon. This game is just torture for them. Seeing the game has only a few minutes left, they just spend their time in the backcourt.


    Millwall still did not stop, Klose, Henry, Larson rushed to the first line to grab the ball, Nedvide, Materazzi, Pirlo formed an interception line outside the midfield.


    Hart made a blind clearance by Larson, and the ball was snatched by Schneider after crossing the center line, without giving Kewell any chance to touch the ball.


    Schneider dribbling forward quickly, and the space behind him was simply ignored. Just arrived in the 40 yard area, a group of players from Leeds rushed up to grab his ball, Schneider made a decisive cross, and unmarked Pirlo went home. .


    Larson diagonally inserted the ribs to form an anti-offside. In the same line, a horrible picture was formed.


    Larsson with the ball, Henry outswinged in the middle, Klose, Nedved after the point, even Materazzi rushed forward behind Henry.


    They are like wolves, surrounding Leeds United''s goal!


    Martin saw this scene, but he was calm, calm and cold, neither abandoning the door nor making any save.


    Larsson made a cross, Klose volleyed the ball with a volley and hit the goal. Henry, who could not stop the rush, took a home kick from the ball that rebounded from the goal. Vader caught up, Materazzi was unwilling to be lonely, he also made a kick, but he kicked the ball rolling out of the goal, God knows whether he deliberately or the defender''s footwork to shoot.


    One foot, two feet, three feet, four feet... Millwall seemed to want to blow Leeds United''s goal!


    Of course, the score rewrite only counts Klose''s goals.


    "1:6, Millwall scored another goal at the last minute, and the Leeds United defender seemed to admit his fate after seeing Larson''s successful counteroffside, leading to all the Millwall players in front of the goal, 1 : 6, this should not be a true manifestation of the gap between the two teams. Judging from the situation on the court 60 minutes ago, even if Millwall wins, it is reasonable to win about two away, but the Leeds United team mentality is in Bowyer. Red card, the penalty was unbalanced after the opponent took the lead again, O''Reilly did not make a decisive adjustment at 1:3, and conceded three goals in the last 15 minutes. This is definitely directly related to the coach''s on-site response, but we also have to He said that Hall seized Leeds United''s own chaotic weaknesses and took advantage of the chase to turn a victory into a crazy victory."


    The live camera locked Aldridge and wanted to see how he would react when the team scored so crazy, but Aldridge did not celebrate it once. At the end of the game, Aldridge looked to the side. There, it was the grandstand that sent Ronaldinho racial discrimination, and this screen was locked by the live camera.


    The grandstand on that side was completely empty.


    Almost 45 minutes ago, Aldridge stood there and greeted the mad roaring images of the fan dance of the fans in the stands. These two pictures have enough visual impact to reverse the effect.


    The referee didn''t make up time. When the time came to 90 minutes, he blew the whistle at the end of the game.


    Leeds United players bowed their heads and left the stadium quickly, Millwall players did not leave in a hurry, and many players were still dissatisfied. They felt that the referee should give at least another five minutes of stoppage time. After all, the game was interrupted and there were many goals in the second half. The two teams have made substitutions again.


    Give 5 more minutes, no, 2 minutes, they will definitely score another goal!


    Some players spit at the court, and then the teammates came together and walked to the stand where the away team fans were. They were here to thank the fans and have fun here!


    For Leeds United fans, today''s game is another disaster, but for the crazy lion fans who came to fuel Millwall from afar, today''s game will be unforgettable for life.


    The crazy lion showed his momentum and told his opponent with strength on the court: Don¡¯t mess with me!


    In the box, Ritzdale sat down on the seat without a word. Before that, he had a split expression and a heartbroken lament. At the moment, the expression was pale as if it was too big to become sluggish.


    This is not the first time the Lions have trampled on the White Legion, but this time today, the blow is more severe than the home game in the league last season.


    This should have been a glorious season for Leeds United, a pinnacle not seen in nearly a decade!


    The blooming white rose was crushed by the foot of the mad lion, as if even the rhizomes were fragmented and the vitality was seriously injured.


    Arthur finished watching the ball, and it was time to go. He blinked, as if he had changed from watching the ball to his normal life. He stood up and reached out and patted Ritzdale¡¯s shoulder gently, saying, ¡°Don¡¯t care, football field. It¡¯s normal to win or lose."


    Talking, Arthur left calmly.


    Ritzdale turned his head mechanically, and at this time he could not distinguish Arthur''s words, whether it was a genuine comfort or a deep satire!


    It is normal to win or lose.


    But they lost 1:6 at home, the game was not over, almost all home team fans withdrew, is this normal?


    Could it be that Arthur¡¯s subtext is: Millwall is here to fill you six away, which is normal!

 Chapter 621： cost!

    At the end of the game, O''Leary will be left with slamming attacks and public opinion pressure, but the first thing he has to solve is the locker room.


    Aldridge turned away after the game.


    This game made him feel a bit heavy.


    Because he was beyond the scope of football, he could not imagine how he would feel if he were Ronaldinho in the face of large-scale racial discrimination, but he knew that it must be uncomfortable.


    Football should be happy and passionate. On the road to victory, there are heroes cherishing each other, brotherhood, and apprenticeship, but not everything is good. Today, Aldridge saw the ugly scene , So that he cannot simply enjoy the happiness and passion brought by football.


    He went straight to the post-match press conference, where it was already full of people, Fleet Street was the main body, and many others were football reporters from other European countries and regions.


    The attention of the English Civil War is not high in Europe, but the reporters are still interested. No one thought that Millwall ended the suspense in the first round of the semi-finals.


    Leeds United all the way out of the dead group, and eliminated the La Liga championship last season. As a result, in the civil war, they were still crushed to a complete extent.


    Everyone also knows that this score is special. The turning point is Bowyer¡¯s red card. It is also a storm caused by a group of racist fans in the stands of the Leeds United. The popular support directly affects the team¡¯s overall performance. Racial discrimination, as long as Think about it, there are also black players in Leeds United. After the outbreak of the incident, Millwall was stimulated to be fake, but it had an inestimable negative blow to himself.


    Leeds United lost a lot in this game today, and lost the hope of reaching the final in 90 minutes. In the final stage of the league needing to sprint for the qualification of the Champions League, the state of the Leeds United team has not been guaranteed, and the fighting power will inevitably decrease. The turbulence in the stands caused by the riots and racial discrimination will not be ignored by UEFA, and a post-match investigation will definitely be conducted.


    In fact, thousands of fans are watching the game in the stands, and no one can guarantee the uniformity of the fans¡¯ racial concept. Millwall is a victim today, but it is not necessarily a racist fan on the racial perspective. However, there are still differences between individual and group-scale events. Several fans insult each other¡¯s players. At best, they are provoking troublemakers. However, if this base is expanded to a unit of 100 people, it will be of scale and cannot be ignored.


    In the years before Millwall vigorously punished football hooligans, countless football hooligans who used racist discrimination to provoke disputes were counted in the arena by video surveillance or court staff, and all will be sent into Millwall. In the record of the FA, the most severe penalty is the lifetime ban. Generally speaking, Millwall will ask the FA to have a standard penalty: not allowed to enter the stadium where Millwall participates.


    After Aldridge sat down, he did not wait for the press officer to signal the reporter to ask questions.


    "There is nothing to discuss about the content of the game. Some people predicted the situation before the game. Some people analyzed the prospects of the two teams. Some people talked about the advantages and disadvantages of the two teams. After 90 minutes of the game, everyone saw that the score of 1:6 is not the difference between the strength of the two teams. Exactly, but I think that Millwall has beaten Leeds United in terms of lineup strength, team coordination, team cohesion, and style on the field, which is why we can win on the road."


    Aldrich''s remarks cannot be contested. No one who has seen the game can find any problems. He just didn''t treat the victory as humblely as before, but he was not proud, just told the truth.


    The reporters nodded in agreement.


    Aldridge continued: "You will definitely ask me questions about what happened during the game, not related to football itself. What I can say is that this is not a game worth promoting. In my opinion, everyone Can play football, professional players participate in professional leagues, amateur players play amateur games, adults, children, men and women, as long as they like football, are interested in participating in this sport, even if you only have one foot, you can enjoy the sport The fun brought by this is a national sport. Professional clubs are based on performance, professional players use the performance of the field to help the team win victory, and professional leagues rely on benign competition between clubs to promote and develop football. , So that more people around the world can participate in this sport that can bring us joy. Ideally, all of this is beautiful, but reality and ideals will always have an insurmountable distance, and a sad scene took place at Elland Road Stadium. I never think football is noble, but I can¡¯t ignore football and become ugly. For Bowyer, for some fans, my opinion is that they are public enemies in the football industry and should no longer appear in any activities related to football This is the second time Millwall has encountered the same treatment on the same course. I can only say that Millwall professionally played an angry game with an ugly opponent on a shameful court. At the same time, I As the coach of the England national team, he condemned the Leeds United club. As an English professional club, they managed the stadium to dereliction of duty, and it was a terrible job to train and shape players!"


    Aldrich finished these words and got up and left.


    The whole venue was silent.


    The reporters were stunned.


    I was surprised.


    Aldrich''s remarks at the press conference organized by UEFA have really had a great impact!


    This will not only suppress the image of English football, but also directly attack the image of the Leeds United club as the coach of the English national team!


    The game is a UEFA Champions League match, but the two armies face off, but that is the Premier League civil war.


    Family ugliness can''t be exaggerated. Whether Audridge is the manager of Millwall or the coach of the England national team, this kind of thing is a little talk, and try to make things as small as possible to avoid conflicts with the FA.


    But in terms of power, Aldridge slammed Leeds United as not crossing the line.


    Look at the local players in Leeds RUF.


    Smith, Ferdinand, Mills, Bowyer, Dyer, Woodgate...


    In the first year of O''Leary''s first takeover of Leeds United, there were indeed a group of young talents who had high hopes from England. However, with the passage of time, these former geniuses did not grow as fast as people expected. Instead, they were present. Shine in all kinds of foreign affairs.


    The national team does not train players, the club is training, Audridge as the national team coach, criticized Leeds United, what''s wrong?


    It''s not that you have a problem with discipline and training, the quality of work is very bad, how can a good seedling become this kind of hanging sample!


    Aldridge, who took the post of coach of the England national team, finally showed the signs that many Premier League coaches are worried about.


    This is the hidden danger brought to the other clubs by him as the national team coach.


    As soon as he opened his mouth, he slammed your club, even if it was a defamation out of nothing, but the national team coach said it out, and the negative impact of everyone is so inexplicable that you can only swallow it.


    Aldridge received a call from FA President Thompson on the bus leaving Elland Road Stadium.


    The other party was very angry and asked why Aldridge said that at the end of the press conference.


    Originally, as the Millwall coach attacked the opponent, the FA also endured, but Aldridge directly revealed the identity of the national team coach, which is equivalent to the FA supporting him, the position has completely changed!


    Aldridge called on the bus, and the players sat quietly in the car after the game. Aldridge was right. They played an angry game, even if they washed their opponents 6:1, after the game. Instead, there was no ecstasy of the previous victory over the opponent, because the nature of the game changed to some extent.


    Aldrich held the phone, and did not lower his voice. He said solemnly: "Mr. Chairman, if I don¡¯t speak properly, I can apologize and admit mistakes. But, what did I say wrong? You accuse me of ignoring the image of English football, Is it correct to cover up the other party''s behavior that the world cannot tolerate? I know that this is not the truth of debate. Then I will tell you clearly that Millwall will not give up. We will apply to the FA to punish Leeds. The club, as well as the player who caused the attack, Bowyer, the FA will not accept it, then we will bring the lawsuit to the UEFA. You can be angry, you can insult me, you can do anything you want, don¡¯t take England The position of coach of the national team threatens me! Before the Champions League final, the FA¡¯s punishment could not come down, I voluntarily resigned!"


    After finishing the last sentence, Aldridge pressed the phone hang up button and put the phone back in the suit pocket.


    The bus is still very quiet.


    All the players looked at each other, and even the coaching staff members'' expressions were very exciting.


    Good guy, in turn, it''s Aldridge threatening the FA''s chairman!


    Many players nodded involuntarily, especially the senior players, looking at Aldridge''s back, the firmness in their eyes became more intense.


    This is one of the reasons why Aldridge is worth following.


    At a critical moment, it is time to stand up, he will stand up!


    Use actual actions to maintain players.


    Years ago, Makelele faced racial discrimination at Elland Road Stadium. Aldridge did not have such a decisive decision today, but he also slammed Leeds United after the game. Aldridge¡¯s head is not a tendon. How can you not understand the truth?


    If there was a lot of trouble in the city, the arbitration institution is always the FA. If you don¡¯t know what to do, you will fall out with the FA. In the end, it will not be fair, but it will cause the team to suffer indiscriminately.


    Different from the past, with Millwall''s status in England, Aldridge''s personal prestige, and the network of contacts in the FA, it is fair to pursue justice, why not?


    Ronaldinho is Aldrich''s lover. Odric has not comforted Ronaldinho since the game was interrupted. He will only express his concern with action.


    Aldrich¡¯s mobile phone kept shaking in his pockets, countless reporters wanted to interview him, and some friends sent text messages to support him, especially some black players who had coached, such as Makelele, who first texted to express support , Even Vieira of Arsenal also sent text messages.


    Aldrich didn''t need anyone to give him courage. He would do what he should do, regardless of whether there were many people.


    Before returning to London, Aldridge called the club, collected the game materials, the evidence of the complaint, sorted them out and submitted them directly to the FA, and released the news to the outside.


    Regardless, Aldridge wants Bowyer and Leeds to pay the price!


    The image of English football?


    The face is yours, not someone else''s!


    Just thinking about what it means to hide from ugliness and deceive others!

 Chapter 622： Self-digging grave

    Aldridge had passed midnight when he returned to London.


    At home, Ewen stood in the living room and watched TV. About Millwall and Leeds United Champions League game quickly became instant hot news, battle reports, game content, post-match coach interviews, etc., the BBC football program hides the ears, several commentators are focusing on Discussing the game, but automatically skipping the racial discrimination storm, after all, this is negative for the national football image, just like the Heisel massacre, the Hissburg massacre, and countless football hooliganisms, British officials still chose to cover fire extinguishment as the first choice.


    But other European media are unscrupulous, scrambling to report on the scandal in the "England Civil War" in the Champions League semi-finals!


    It was at this time that the UEFA Disciplinary Committee announced that it had investigated the game after receiving the match report of the referee after the match.


    The UEFA Champions League is the signature of UEFA. The importance of the semi-finals is self-evident. UEFA definitely don¡¯t want to see a scene in the game. They will not have the mentality of watching Liz from the outside world under criticism from the outside. After all, the game is still Officially organized by UEFA.


    The report of the match is sparse and ordinary, but in the statement of the investigation, keywords such as racial discrimination, riots in the stands, and clashes among fans were briefly mentioned.


    UEFA, of course, hopes to calm down. If this kind of thing happens to teams in different national leagues, UEFA will really have a headache because they don¡¯t want to make trouble, but how will the injured football team be willing to give up?


    Now it''s ok, both parties are England teams, UEFA is not afraid of the toss of the FA, anyway everyone should try their best to put out the fire.


    Since there is another game in the semi-finals and will move to the home of Millwall, UEFA¡¯s findings will definitely be finalized after the semi-finals.


    Burt and Earl did not sleep at the moment. Andrew received a call from Arthur at night and came to Audridge to wait for him. By the way, he bought a remote control toy car for his two nephews and they played in the living room. Happy


    Aldridge opened the door and went home. When he saw the article, he turned off the TV first, so that Aldridge would not feel upset.


    Andrew did not play on the ground with his two nephews. Ewen led the children upstairs and coaxed them to sleep. Andrew patted his trousers and smiled at Aldridge: "Don''t worry about the FA, I''ll help you settle ."


    He didn''t know that Thompson called Aldridge directly, but judging from Aldridge''s comments after the game, the FA must be dissatisfied with Aldridge.


    Aldridge loosened his tie and pulled it from his neck, sneering: "Thompson will only trouble me if he doesn''t want to be the chairman, there is nothing to be smoothed out."


    Mo said that behind Thompson''s appointment there was Andrew''s support in the FA''s internal contacts. Oudridge''s appointment as the national team coach was finalized by Thompson''s unanimous consensus.


    A few months ago, it was announced that this was his credit. Aldridge was invited, and the England national team was refreshed.


    If Audridge resigns, Thompson will not be able to get rid of the relationship, and the opposition within the FA will inevitably fall to his stage.


    Thompson''s phone call must have not been thoughtful, it is estimated to be anxious to blindly do it.


    Aldridge is afraid of the chairman of the FA?


    Fear of an egg, he was the last chairman to step down!


    Why is there a chairman of a non-governmental department?


    Andrew thought for a while and thought that Aldridge made sense.


    The FA is dissatisfied, but it should be clear which is more important.


    Aldridge is not upside-down, black and white, if the FA against Aldridge, I am afraid it is not worth the loss.


    The two sat down on the sofa. Andrew first asked Aldrich about Ronaldinho''s injury.


    He is an agent, but he can''t intervene in the operation of the club where the player is. The injury of the player in the critical period is an absolute secret within the club. The players themselves have no right to disclose it.


    "Three to four weeks of healing."


    Aldrich also got the news from the club medical department after getting off the plane. Ronaldinho was not seriously injured, but the recovery time was not short.


    The next few games in the league must not be expected to be able to catch up with the Champions League final, depending on Ronaldinho''s specific recovery.


    Andrew feels relieved that the player under his hand, Ronaldinho is already an important star, with one leg worth at least 10 million pounds.


    He told Aldridge that Arthur had "ransomed" him completely.


    "Hehehe, the old castle? Believe it or not? He will be mad at most for a month, and the old man can''t bear the lonely, and he still supports the elderly.


    Aldridge finally smiled, and sometimes Arthur was nonsense, but it always made people happy.


    Andrew frowned: "You didn''t understand what he meant?"


    Aldridge picked up an apple on the coffee table and began to smooth the peel with a fruit knife. He didn''t think: "I''m not stupid. He is letting you put the blood of Leeds United as much as possible. It has nothing to do with me. How? "You wouldn''t do this kind of thing? Impossible."


    Of course, Andrew would do this kind of vampire activity. When Rivaldo landed in La Liga at the earliest, he pumped 300,000 pounds, which is not much. After all, the transfer fee is not much, Rivaldo misses the old, thanks to the old club, Andrew is also down. Generous, want to earn a good reputation, pumped 300,000 pounds, of which 200,000 pounds were privately deposited in Rivaldo''s offshore center account, these years, as long as it is not involved in the transfer of Millwall, he will go from the middle With a certain percentage of commission, the players will be transferred to the player''s private account, which is regarded as money to buy loyalty, so that the player''s wings are not solo, or they will be seduced by their peers.


    He didn¡¯t understand the situation at Leeds United. The club operated specific revenues and expenditures. He only knew Millwall, but Millwall could not be used as a reference, so he wanted to ask Aldridge. To release the blood of Leeds United, we must first understand the situation of the other party.


    He made the point clear and asked Aldridge.


    "I''ll give you a rough account book. Specifically, you''ll figure it out yourself. Leeds United has invested more than 100 million pounds in introducing players over the years, and selling players has recovered the most, at most only 35 million pounds. And Leeds United Club operates It is a loss, because they bought a lot of players, and the salary expenditures that were paid when they signed these players were a huge sum of money, and they could not make ends meet with their operating income. But the money spent on buying players was mostly It¡¯s a bank loan, and banks naturally charge interest, which accumulates season after season..."


    Aldrich split the apple in half and gave it to Andrew. Andrew didn''t take it in his hands and looked thoughtfully.


    He understands the overall economic environment of the football circle, that is, the football bubble starts to burst.


    Is Leeds bad luck? Still retaliated?


    No, this is just the risk they should bear when they signed a huge loan with the bank to develop the club.


    Throughout the football circle, this kind of team that relies on loans to develop the club is a big gamble. Although it has been brilliant for a while, but after a short period of time, the end is basically miserable.


    For example, Chelsea, which is almost impossible to expose, has a debt of more than 50 million pounds. Bates¡¯ dream of building Chelsea into a "Roman Empire" has reached a point of collapse, especially in the context of the bursting of the football economic bubble. Ci secretly peddled Chelsea, no one in the industry dared to take over, it is simply a sinkhole!


    In the past few years, many businessmen still wanted to make money by controlling football clubs. Now at this stage, if they want to make money through football, that person must be crazy.


    What is the bubble of football economy?


    More intuitively, the financial market can be used to explain the tip of the iceberg. About 3-4 years ago, the football circle had a frenzy period for club listing. The Premier League¡¯s big ball will issue stocks for listing and financing development. The Italian team does the same. There are also Italian bosses who preach that this is the football rule of the new era. Other clubs fail to follow suit but are outdated and will be eliminated by the era.


    Listing, financing, the club has money, expand the lineup and strengthen the strength, shareholders share the money.


    And 99% of the wealth the club has absorbed from the financial market comes from the fans of this team!


    Only the fans will be interested in the football club stock, and the club is actually touting the loyalty of the fans.


    However, there will be a series of scumbags in the financial circle that are very despicable, as long as the experienced investors in the circle can perceive it.


    Some club shareholders just want to let the team go public, then sell the shares, make a fortune and leave the market, and the broker who really invests in the stock will not recommend his customers to buy this kind of football club stock.


    And as the team''s record can''t be played, the operating performance is linked to the value of the stock, and the stock will fall.


    At this stage in 2001, even fans, who love their team, rarely buy money for the team''s stock. Everyone knows that it is garbage! And it''s easy to be scammed!


    Who knows if the club will change ownership tomorrow?


    Leeds United is a team that is listed on the stock market, and once it is listed, the annual financial report will be announced. Is the operating income and loss, whether it is a profit or a loss, and the debt situation has been reversed, or is it worse than before? These are clear at a glance.


    If your business is on a downward trend, stocks are even less valuable, those borrowing banks will also urge debt, and other financing channels will also close the door to you, and then fall into a desperate situation.


    Aldridge didn''t care about chatting with Andrew, but since he said it, he remembered the situation when he made a deal with Ritzdale.


    "Speaking of speaking, I remembered that when Leeds United came to buy me, I specifically found someone to investigate the source of funds for Leeds United. Ritzdale used Leeds United''s income for the next 25 years as a mortgage, mainly Tickets and TV broadcast income, mortgage to insurance companies and banks, in exchange for 60 million pounds, the specific interest rate, I do not know, but the information revealed is a word: high."


    Andrew heard the words: "What did he bring back?"


    Aldridge shrugged: "He has ambitions. In his opinion, as long as Leeds United can guarantee the Champions League every season, the money is not difficult to get up, but it has not caught up with the good times."


    Andrew nodded, Leeds United did not catch up with the good times, the player''s value was fired high, relatively, the football economic bubble has burst, but the trade-offs, Leeds United''s development plan can be described as a leak in the night.


    Aldrich actually means: After 10 years, ¡ê60 million is an egg for the Premier League team! Mo said that to play in the Champions League, as long as the annual relegation, 60 million pounds, relying on television broadcasts only, three seasons properly.


    Andrew also recalled the scene when he was negotiating with Leeds United. Shen said: "At that time, I was not at ease. I just felt that Leeds United was really rich. Ferdinand transferred treatment. I thought the weekly salary asking price of 35,000 pounds should be followed. The opponent has been talking for a long time, and as a result, Leeds United has paid a weekly salary of 40,000 pounds! There are other players'' treatment negotiations, which are higher than the upper limit of my intention to blackmail. Now think about it, Ritzdale shot generously, this is for Leeds digs graves!"


    Aldridge didn¡¯t want to hear Andrew talk about it at all, so he was upset.


    Since O''Leary coached, Leeds United played a high-gloss performance in the first year, and borrowed money to introduce reinforcements in the second year. The record is not as good as Millwall, even Manchester United is not as good, but it is imitating the strength of the strong team, like Millwall purchased 50 low-end cars for the club, while Leeds United spent ¡ê600,000 a year to rent more than 70 cars. The team went around and spent extravagance.


    And talking about Ferdinand headed a group of players to switch to Leeds United, Aldridge didn''t hate anyone in his heart, but he was so helpless.


    In this world, beating and scolding can smile and grudge, but can hinder people''s fortunes. This will be endless.


    Recalling Ferdinand''s accent in front of him that he chose to leave for his career, Audric prefers to be a villain and believes that Ferdinand is for the huge weekly salary paid by Leeds United.

 Chapter 623： Unwilling to miss the final

    Leeds United poached a group of players represented by Ferdinand, many of them were Aldridge''s hard plug to Leeds United, doing a hammer sale, it was a profit for Millwall, after all, if those players are listed for sale, turn The membership fee is certainly not so high.


    The most potential to be stolen is Ferdinand. Two years ago, Millwall''s financial strength was much stronger than that of Leeds United, but the personal treatment provided by Leeds United impressed Ferdinand.


    Is Millwall unable to afford a weekly salary of 40,000 pounds?


    of course not.


    But Ferdinand himself was fine, and the Millwall club was fine. Both parties knew that he was definitely not getting such a good salary in Millwall, and even 30,000 was unlikely.


    The 28-year-old Ferdinand can earn a weekly salary of more than 100,000 pounds, which does not mean that the 21-year-old also deserves a top salary.


    This is a topic that is often talked about in the football world: the salary system.


    The more top clubs, the stricter the control of the wage system. Just like companies, personal performance contributions are linked to income. If the wage system is chaotic, players will be dissatisfied with the club.


    Andrew sat next to Aldridge patiently pondering the plan to squeeze out Leeds United.


    Leeds United''s debt is getting higher and higher. Ritzdale''s vision is very beautiful. As long as there is a Champions League play every year, it doesn''t matter if the Premier League wins the championship or not. The money can definitely be paid back.


    But there are only four Champions League places, Millwall, Manchester United, Arsenal are now firmly in the top three teams, Liverpool, Chelsea, Leeds United, the top three fight for a place.


    Leeds United''s strength has not yet reached the level where it can lock the top four.


    And because they do not have a strong financial background, the capital chain is very fragile. As long as they miss the Champions League in one or two seasons, they will go to the end of the mountain.


    When the time comes, in order to cash out and avoid being wound up, is that not yet arbitrary?


    Andrew felt cruel, lit a cigarette, and said: "If I am red-eyed and black-hearted, will I be bad for my reputation?"


    He has already made up his mind that if Leeds United sells his players in the future, the transfer fee will start at a rate of at least 20%, which is at least double the ratio agreed in the industry.


    About 10% is the proportion of brokerage companies drawing in ordinary transfer transactions. With a sky-high transfer of 20 million pounds, a brokerage company can draw 2 million pounds. This is already a lot. It is 30 million yuan when it is converted into RMB.


    In the ordinary transaction, the broker wants to blackmail more, it is almost impossible, the club has the confidence to let the transaction abort, and the buying club is not wronged and will pay extra fees. Moreover, doing so is a bit of a bad rule and falls greedy. Notorious.


    But if Leeds United is in a desperate situation that needs cash out, they can only compromise, otherwise? Remaining players still have to pay salaries, can not collect cash to repay debts, ushered in liquidation and bankruptcy, after the players are sold by the custodian, transfer income has nothing to do with the club, will be used to repay debts.


    Aldridge waved at Andrew, thanking him for the cigarettes he handed, saying lightly: "The agent had no good reputation in front of the club. The agent''s reputation is relative to the player. The player is willing to sign with you, not because of you. He looks handsome, but you can help the players take care of the affairs, and the key point is to make money and manage money. Many players don''t understand this."


    Andrew thinks about it too, the trace of hesitation remaining in his heart disappeared completely.


    Andrew thought of another thing, couldn''t help laughing, choked, coughed a few times, and then whispered in front of Aldridge: "If there is a day, I and you will be hated by Leeds United fans for a lifetime?"


    Aldridge raised his eyebrows.


    When the seller was sold to Leeds United, there was also a clause in the signed contract: 30% of the income of the player''s next transfer income belonged to Millwall!


    Ritzdale was thinking about buying those players to Leeds United. The outstanding players that can be played must be the mainstay of the White Rose dynasty for at least ten years. If they can¡¯t be played, they will be worthless if they are sold. .


    Besides how to buy and sell players, how can you make a profit without losing money?


    The world''s giants, detailed transfer transactions, there must be a lot of parallel imports, with the exception of Millwall.


    Millwall closed 30%, and Andrew started with a 20% ratio. Leeds United will sell players in the future, and it is bound to lose money.


    Sending Andrew away, Aldridge went upstairs to rest, first opened his son''s bedroom and glanced, Yiwen just put down a book for children before bed, turned his head toward Aldridge with a mute gesture, two small The guy finally coaxed to sleep.


    Aldridge went into the bathroom to take a shower, and when he returned to the bedroom to lie down on the bed, Yiwen was still asleep, turned his head to look at him, and asked softly, "What''s wrong?"


    Aldridge nodded and said, "I used to be naive to think that racists were actually wearing a coat that mocked others. Millwall''s debut in the Premier League, which was looked down upon by others, would only be treated like this."


    Yi Wen stretched his hand on his face and said softly: "Don''t be stupid, crazy, stupid, abnormal psychology, why are you studying?"


    Aldridge looked startled, pondering afterwards, and smiled: "You said something very reasonable."


    He didn''t understand the racist mentality anyway, but since this kind of person''s racial view was wrongly distorted, he was a normal person and could not make the inquiry.


    With open arms, Yi Wen embraced him, and Aldridge closed his eyes and fell asleep.


    The next day, Millwall sorted out the evidence of the game complaint and sent it to the FA. At the same time, he announced to the public that he asked the FA to severely punish Leeds player Bowyer!


    As for the racism scandal that broke out on the court, Millwall can complain, but he is not qualified to ask the FA what to do, but the club has a position and is qualified to express its appeals against individual players.


    Today the team is on holiday, Aldridge visits Ronaldinho.


    Ronald recuperates at home, lying on the recliner in the back garden honestly, holding a laptop in his hand and watching the video.


    When Aldridge arrived, Ronaldinho''s girlfriend opened the door for him.


    I don''t know how many girlfriends Ronaldinho has changed. Anyway, Aldridge can''t remember, it seems that every time he sees it is a new face.


    At this point, Aldrich also has no right to interfere in Ronaldinho¡¯s private life. He also knew in his heart that Ronaldinho has actually converged a lot, but he did not want to be disappointed with him, but his private life should live and still live, and occasionally go to a nightclub There is no shortage of women around him, he is trying to maintain a balance between indulgence and professional player work.


    Aldrich saw Ronaldinho watching the video, and looked at the laptop screen curiously. The video was paused. It was a video of the game. He could see at a glance what the game was.


    Bayern Munich vs Arsenal.


    Millwall away Leeds United 6-1, Bayern Munich defeated Arsenal 2-1 away. The two teams that entered the finals surfaced after the first round of the semifinals. Millwall is definitely here There will be no surprises, even if the Apocalypse Apocalypse comes, Millwall will not lose to Leeds United 5 at home in the second round.


    Bayern Munich should also be in a tense position. The possibility of a German class tyrant losing at home is unlikely.


    Aldridge was very happy. Ronaldinho could still study the video of the game while he was recuperating, and it seemed that he had a firm idea of ??playing the final.


    When he saw the arrival of Aldridge, Ronaldinho grinned and took the end plate on the side table in front of Aldridge with a smile, with a variety of fruits on it and a bottle of fruit juice.


    Aldridge poured a glass of fruit juice. After Ronaldinho''s girlfriend brought a comfortable chair, he sat down beside Ronaldinho and said, "Look at your good mood."


    "if not?"


    Aldridge laughed dumbly. Ronaldinho, the optimist, couldn''t be happy in bitterness. This is his nature. It''s not his style that Ku Daqiu deepened his face.


    Ronaldinho happened to see the Bayern Munich game almost the same. When he had doubts, he asked: "Boss, how do I think Bayern Munich is much worse than the previous two years?"


    Ronaldinho is like his predecessor alien. When studying the video of the game, the point of view must not be the overall view of the head coach. As an offensive player, of course, he looks at the defensive characteristics, habits, and thinking of how to defeat the defensive player. opponent.


    After watching the game video, Ronaldinho has an intuitive feeling: this Bayern Munich is not as strong as before.


    Two years ago, Millwall fell to Munich. One year ago, Millwall revenge was successful. This year, no surprises. The two teams met for three consecutive years and the battlefield will be in the final.


    Aldridge took a sip of fruit juice and did not answer the question: "What do you think is the change in your strength compared to yourself two years ago compared to yourself a year ago?"


    Ronaldinho blurted out without thinking: "Of course the strength is stronger."


    This is not a nonsense. In the face of the head coach, if it is worse than before, it is still a ball! Even if it is about the same, it is also a kind of self-denial, which means that he has not improved in the past two years. What is the time and energy spent on it?


    After answering the question, Ronaldinho saw Aldridge staring at him with a smile, suddenly realized.


    It''s not that Bayern Munich''s strength has decreased, but its own strength has increased!


    Aldrich said: "The players of Bayern Munich, especially the defensive players, have passed the period of improving their technical ability experience. Two years ago, they were almost finalized and reached a certain height. It is difficult to improve. The only thing to do is to maintain the state. Don¡¯t go down, they¡¯re doing very well. And we, we are still on the rise two years ago, especially you, 19-year-old you have technical talent, but have not fully tapped, Henry, Pirlo, Zambrotta , Gattuso, they have accumulated experience after stabilizing their technical ability, improving the reading ability of the game, some invisible abilities. Bayern Munich is maintaining the peak strength of this team''s own team, we are still improving in the past two years , Because our team''s limit potential is higher than the opponent, so when your strength is constantly improving, and then look back at the strength of Bayern Munich players, you will have an illusion that the opponent''s strength is declining."


    Ronaldinho''s own ideas were verbally confirmed by Aldridge, and his doubts disappeared.


    "Boss, I want to play in the Champions League final."


    He seemed like a stubborn child, and he suddenly came out with such a serious expression.


    Aldridge smiled and said, "Then take care of your wounds."


    Ronaldinho nodded, huh.


    He wanted to be a witness and contributor to Millwall''s glorious history. Even if he couldn''t make it to the finals, no one would question his importance and contribution to Millwall, but that was the Champions League final!


    The opponent is Bayern Munich, a recognized European strong team.


    Even if Ronaldinho thinks that Bayern Munich''s strength has "decreased", Bayern Munich is still very strong.


    In fact, Bayern Munich this year, only three of the team can be among the top players.


    Lion King Kahn, Tiger Effenberg, also benefited Zarazu.


    Among them, Effenberg still added comprehensive strength to the super first-class state by adding points for spiritual leadership.


    There is no one offensive player in the standard sense.


    Most of the other players are first-class and a few are barely first-class.


    But football is far from the ability of players to superimpose on computing power.


    The biggest feature of Bayern Munich is the correct tactics and tacit understanding of teamwork. Head coach Hessfield has contributed greatly.


    Aldrich chatted with Ronaldinho for almost two hours before getting up to say goodbye. He did not come empty-handed. He specially picked up some movie DVDs that fit the young people''s appetite and sent them to Ronaldinho to spend his time. Restless, it would be bad if the activities around slowed down the recovery of the injury, Aldridge also hoped that Ronaldinho can be injured before the Champions League final, whether it is for the team''s consideration or for Ronaldinho''s personal consideration, He hopes that Ronaldinho will not miss the final.

 Chapter 624： Funeral white rose

    Millwall started preparing for the weekend''s league. A lot of fans came from the training base. They pulled up a banner to support the club and also launched a banner against racial discrimination.


    With only four rounds left in the league and two games left in the Champions League, Millwall''s final task this season is these six games.


    There is no need for coach supervision. The attitude of the players on the training ground is obvious to all, and they are absolutely dedicated and serious.


    The storm in the first round of the Champions League semi-finals continues to ferment, because Millwall and Leeds will have to meet in the league next time, and there will be a routine play in the second round of the Champions League semi-finals next week.


    Many public figures that Aldridge knew or didn¡¯t know in England stood up and expressed their solidarity with Millwall.


    Aldrich has not participated in many charity activities throughout the year, but you insist that she has no history of inferiority. As a public figure, she has been advocating environmental protection, charity, anti-sexism, anti-racial discrimination, staying away from drugs, refusing violence, etc. Universal values.


    He is not a saint, and he has never thought about how noble to become, but these values ??are indeed worth carrying forward. Although he himself is suspected of gaining fame and reputation, he has no doubts to persevere in these years.


    Sedimentation has become a quagmire, and now Aldridge has been caught in this kind of incident himself, and the public influence generated cannot be ignored.


    It¡¯s also blamed that Bowyer was unlucky. He and Woodgate faced lawsuits for beating Asian students last year. They just went to the police station to receive police summons at the beginning of this month. It was really a wave after another. Here, under the pressure of the outside world to support Bowyer. Now, Bowyer is on the cusp of the storm, and many people have gathered outside the club to protest. This is not absolutely a fan. Racial discrimination is a social issue, not a separate event in the football circle. , The waves caused by it also have a wide impact.


    Yesterday Millwall submitted the complaint materials. It took a whole day before the FA announced that it would investigate the racial discrimination in the Leeds United players.


    The thing happened in the Champions League. If Leeds United is not against the Premier League team, that is to say, the English team vs the non-England team, then this investigation is the responsibility of the UEFA, the Football Association for the sake of face, For the sake of so-called dignity, there will definitely be obstructions. Even if UEFA awards a punishment to Leeds, the FA will definitely appeal.


    This background is also why UEFA feel relieved despite the fact that the outbreak of racial discrimination in the field is very tricky.


    In the referee''s game report, he clearly recorded that he heard Bowyer insult Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho spit on Bowyer''s face. UEFA ignored the red card and suspended one game. That''s all. In theory, Ronaldinho has the qualification to enter the finals.


    The UEFA Disciplinary Committee also passed the competition materials they collected to the FA, which means nothing more: your housework, you solve it yourself!


    The FA has set a charter to hold a hearing. Leeds United, Millwall, including player coaches, will be called by the FA to attend. The time will be set after the Champions League semi-finals.


    On the weekend, Leeds had a light rain.

 ~： In the first round of the game in Leeds, fans of the Lions were hard to come by!

    Not only did the home team give fewer votes, the home team fans also spent a lot of money to buy tickets outside. After all, it was a grand scene that Leeds United had not had in more than 20 years, and set foot on the stage of the Champions League semi-finals.


    But by the weekend, many of Leeds United''s home tickets were purchased by fans of the Lions.


    There was a disastrous defeat of 1:6. There were disgraceful events on the stadium and in the stands. Many Leeds fans were disheartened. Did they go to the stadium to watch the ball? When you see Bowyer playing, isn''t it awkward to find yourself?


    Maybe it was raining and it was inconvenient to watch the ball. Simply sell the ticket at a high price to make a cigarette or drink.


    Before the start of this league, the reactions of the teams in the Premier League were divided into two categories. It was none of their own. For example, Manchester United and Arsenal. Commenting on this kind of thing will always offend the party.


    Ferguson should have a position to go downhill, but Manchester United really needs Leeds United at this time to help Millwall in the league.


    Wenger led Arsenal to Bayern Munich at home and was too busy with self-care. How could he spare time to talk about other people''s affairs?


    Instead, Liverpool, Chelsea, and even Ipswich''s head coach are attacking Leeds United, calling on the FA to severely punish Leeds United.


    Why are they?


    Liverpool are temporarily ranked fourth in the Premier League, one point higher than Leeds United League points!


    Chelsea are 6 points behind Liverpool, chasing 6 points in four games, it is not impossible, in short, disturbing the heart of the Leeds coalition.


    Ipswich is going against the rhythm of the season this season, ranking higher than Chelsea. The UEFA Cup qualification is already in the bag, but they are 3 points behind Liverpool. They are now ranked sixth and are 2 from Leeds United. Minute!


    In an interview before the game, Aldridge said lightly that this league has no connection with the last Champions League, and Millwall will take it seriously.


    He said so, but everyone knows, how could it be irrelevant? !


    The mad lion directly stepped on the white rose and the weather flame fell to the bottom, and O''Reilly dared not let a fart go. The press conference went away without a word. Obviously, a pair of Millwall did not want to mention the name. It looks like, maybe, dare not mention it, just like his magic barrier.


    Within four days, Mad Lion visited Elland Road Stadium twice.


    The stadium is still the same stadium, but the atmosphere is quite different, there is quite a sense of sight.


    The Leeds fans in the stands watched the ball quietly. Perhaps the drizzle was uninteresting, or perhaps the sluggish white army on the court could not support the fans'' heart.


    Millwall is still doing his best. Klose replaces Ronaldinho. Henry plays the winger and Klose tops the center.


    Crazy Lion fans came to Elland Road Stadium today with more than 15,000 people!


    This is definitely a staggering number, and the capacity of Elland Road Stadium is less than 40,000.


    Crazy lion fans shook and cheered in the stands, and a huge banner was always displayed on the stands.


    The slogan on the banner was clear at a glance.


    Leeds United


    Fans of crazy lions use this banner to express their disdain for Leeds United: Leeds United Club is not as good as Ronaldinho!


    Many of the crazy lion fans who have come away today are actually ready to fight against Leeds United fans. The security of the stadium has been doubled. It doesn¡¯t matter. After the game is over, let¡¯s take a fight on the street and promise not to kill you!


    But when they came here, they discovered that Leeds United fans didn''t seem interested in pinching them.


    Fans making waves in the Champions League match did not come today, and Leeds United fans who came to the scene to watch the game were worried about the prospects of the club.


    Obviously, people''s hearts have broken up.


    In the cold wind and rain, O''Reilly sat on the coach''s seat immobile, and his expressionless face looked like a sculpture.


    Aldridge was not afraid of the wind and rain, and still stood on the sidelines to supervise the war, even if the suit was wet by the rain, he was unmoved.


    Today''s battle is crucial.


    Manchester United must be suppressed in the league.


    For the fourth consecutive year, Manchester United can only get the runner-up in the Premier League. This season, there are only league titles and hope. With a sigh of relief, Aldridge observed Manchester United¡¯s recent game and found that Ferguson is really fighting. After the old fate, Ferguson used his life to bet on thrilling games.


    After all, Manchester United''s players have been baptized by the champions. They have won the league and the Champions League. Therefore, it is not difficult to let them collapse when they play the role of chaser.


    Aldridge didn''t mind either. It would be extremely difficult to make Millwall crash.


    For Leeds United, this league may also be a life-and-death battle in the league!


    They are one point away from fourth in the league!


    After the game is over, there are three rounds left in the Premier League. Leeds have to face Chelsea and Arsenal. It is not too difficult to close Leicester City. After Martin O¡¯Neal leaves Leicester City As the situation deteriorates, the relegation is declared successful at the end of the previous round, and it will not cause too much trouble for the demanding team.


    But if Leeds United can''t win Millwall in this game, they may not only be opened by Liverpool''s 4-point gap, but also more likely to be overtaken by Ipswich in the standings!


    This game is lost, the season can also be declared over, there is absolutely no chance to enter the Champions League next season, because the military heart will be completely defeated!


    On rainy days, the venue is wet and slippery, the play style is wide open and wide, especially the team playing long pass will be greatly restricted, because the long pass will cause the ball to accelerate after the ball is rubbed, and the error rate of passing the ball from a long distance It will go straight up, which happens to be what Leeds United is good at. It seems that even God doesn''t stand on their side.


    In addition to Bowie being excluded from the roster, Leeds United''s starter also continued to debut, replacing Dwyer Bauer.


    The players lacked communication on the court, and there were many loopholes. Although the conditions on the rainy day restricted the players'' personal ability to play, Millwall played extremely imposingly.


    Obviously an anti-guest posture.


    Although the site conditions on rainy days are many unfavorable, there are also places that can be used, for example: long shot!


    The long-range shots made by players in this field condition, especially the long-range shots of the earth, the frictional acceleration after the ball bounces off the ground is a goalkeeper''s nightmare.


    Aldridge suddenly changed his established tactics before the game today. His plan was not able to keep up with the changes. He made changes after the players warmed up and looked at the conditions of the venue.


    In the 16th minute of the opening, Pirlo kicked a long-range 45-yard long shot and knocked on the gate guarded by Martin. The half-height shot by Pirlo bounced on the line of the small penalty area and then quickly entered the door of Leeds United.


    This super long shot can break the door, it is thanks to rainy days.


    Millwall seems to be determined to take a long shot. Under normal circumstances, the distance is too long, the long shot is farther away, and the visual threat must be made near the restricted area, but today, a long shot with a slight area retreat can also play a good job. Effect.


    Leeds United players blocked their guns and were bored with several feet. The game was both depressing and furious.


    Their anger, the premise of the defense line, and the key interception area are also pushed forward and are in the middle of their arms!


    In the 37th minute of the game, Henry dribbling hard to eat Kelly with enough free time ahead.


    At a distance of three meters from Kelly, Henry kicked the ball directly behind Kelly, and the intensity was not small. Then, in the scene where Kelly turned back and Henry ran quickly without the ball, Henry finished blasting Kelly, Ferdinand in When Henry''s ball was over the speed, he went to chase the ball and defended. He thought he could get the ball first. As a result, Henry put the ball towards the center before the bottom line. Ferdinand emptied. Henry circled back from the bottom line and rushed to the middle of the penalty area. , Consecutive ball points!


    Martin abandoned the goal and blocked Henry''s shooting angle. Henry did not reluctantly kick his foot and calmly knocked back on the middle. Klose followed with a kick and sent the ball into the empty goal. This goal was easy for him, and he knew the credit 99 % Is Henry''s, so he ran to hug Henry after scoring a goal.


    "The first half of the game has not finished yet. Leeds United are behind by two goals at home. If they lose this league, Leeds United''s desire to stay in the Champions League next season may be defeated. The situation will be very unfavorable. Another game Liverpool also led Tottenham with two goals in Anfield."


    Aldrich turned to look at O''Reilly, who was still sitting on the coach''s bench.


    The other party seems to have given up long ago.


    Aldrich took his gaze away and stopped thinking about something else, and concentrated on doing his own thing.


    Funeral of white roses!

 Chapter 625： Four days, Tian Yuan

    This league, which is crucial for Leeds United and Millwall, ended the first half with a score of 0:2.


    Rain battles will also increase the probability of injury to players. Aldridge makes tactical adjustments in midfield to reduce the probability of injury to players as much as possible.


    In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Aldridge was still standing on the sidelines under the wind and rain. O''Reilly was still sitting. However, after watching the second half of the game for three minutes, he suddenly got up and strode the meteor towards Aldridge. His face was somber Scary.


    Aldrich noticed that O''Reilly was coming towards himself, and the fourth official on the sidelines was immediately alert, fearing that the two coaches would break out on the sidelines, but Aldridge reached out to the fourth official to signal that the fourth official mistakenly thought the two coaches It''s just ordinary communication, so there is no obstruction. This kind of thing happens from the side of the court.


    Fans of the two teams may scold each other in the stands, but there is often no deep hatred between the head coaches, just like Aldridge used to fight against Redknapp in the past. When old Lei resigned from the West Ham United coach, the two I met a few words calmly when I met at the annual reception held by the Professional League. I couldn''t see the fierce confrontation before.


    O''Reilly came to Aldridge and gritted his teeth: "Hall, you won, Millwall won, but now, do you want to further humiliate Leeds United and me?"


    Aldridge looked baffled and sneered several times, too lazy to ignore O''Reilly.


    The young white rose is estimated to feel better than herself.


    Aldridge likes to think about it, expecting O''Reilly as a hero of Arsenal''s heroes, he can almost become the gunman of the history of "only one club in his life", and he is very confident.


    O''Reilly sneered when Audridge sneered, his expression flashing a trace.


    In the second half, Millwall did not take the initiative to attack.


    Originally, O''Reilly saw that the team played so badly in the first half, the military was unstable, and wanted to counterattack Millwall, who had three consecutive championships. It was really sad, so he made a plan to lose and win. The team can defend well in the second half.


    The results of it?


    Millwall did not take the initiative to oppress the offense, and Leeds United played extremely depressed again. On the scene, Leeds United seemed to have surrendered, even the courage of the attack was gone.


    This is Elland Road Stadium. If Leeds United really played 45 minutes after the second half, I''m afraid Leeds United would not only be disbanded.


    What hope is there for a team that dares not attack?


    Perhaps it was the second time the two sides met in four days. O''Leary believes that Audridge changed his team''s tactics in this way to humiliate Leeds United and let the world look at Leeds United who has been scared.


    And he himself, after the last defeat of 1:6, was almost degraded, and no one media would mention the previous "contest of young masters".


    O''Reilly really blamed Audridge.


    The home team trailed by two goals at halftime and needed three points.


    In such a situation, Oudric had one hundred encounters, and he had only one result of trying to figure out his opponent''s psychology one hundred times: offense.


    But Aldridge was wrong this time.


    O''Reilly''s expression changed, walked back to the home team coach''s seat, stood on the sidelines and roared to players on the field like a beast, exaggerating his body movements to let his disciples attack!


    Leeds United can lose, but they cannot lose the essence of a football team, the soul of attack!


    If football doesn''t attack, why do you play?


    The players of Leeds United saw that the coach was so excited and could not be beaten, despite his dissatisfaction: let us do a good defense at halftime, played less than 5 minutes in the second half, and changed his mind again!


    Leeds United''s posture of aggressive attack, Millwall formation is relatively backward, not counter-robbing in the frontcourt, not pressing, only after the half-court midfield, will focus on defense.


    Kewell, Duff, Viduka, Smith, Cahill, plus full-backs with good assists Kelly and Hart, Leeds is not without an offensive player, they have never been so easy against Millwall The ground organized the offensive from the backcourt.


    However, their attack broke their hearts!


    Nedved, Gattuso, and Pirlo have three midfielders. The number of defenders can be counted as two and a half. They are closely connected with the defender line. The defensive line compresses the danger zone space after the delay. The Leeds attack is very smooth in the second half. After halftime, it hit a big mountain.


    The most terrible thing is that their attack comes up, the backcourt space is too large.


    Millwall found two points from the defense to the offensive, Henry or Larson.


    From the 50th minute of the game, the scene became extremely weird.


    The Leeds United soldiers pressed the situation, but the attack made him dizzy. He passed the ball and missed the ball.


    On the other hand, Millwall''s attack is almost a single-handed combat.


    Henry and Larson, the starting position is on the wing, but the backcourt has a lot of space. The two often staged a 30-meter distance attack. The speed of the dribbling rhythm spiking ball changed to extraordinary, simple but practical. .


    In the 58th minute, Henry kicked off Kelly after receiving the ball, walked inside to get rid of Cahill''s backtrack, pulled the ball in front of his compatriot Dakote and then killed the front line, he alone attracted Ferdinand and Mateo''s Note, then, he passed the ball to Klose behind Ferdinand diagonally, Klose crossed the other side, Larson was unmarked and volleyed to break the Leeds United goal.


    After 10 minutes, he changed to Larson, but he returned to the middle to catch the ball, and then led the ball all the way forward. Leeds United defenses were all in defense against him, forcing him to stay away from the penalty area, and Larson followed theirs. Intent, with Hart and Matteo all the way to the right side, Larson passed the ball after the bottom, Klose jumped up on the dry land after the point, a header shot and the next goal city!


    At this point Leeds didn''t say that O''Reilly wouldn''t dare to let them attack again, they all felt cold in their hearts.


    After another 4 minutes, Henry ran to the middle to meet Nedvide''s long pass. After the chest stopped, the ball was picked up behind the back of the ball, turned around, and faced the opponent''s penalty area directly. Ghost, Dakote moved backwards, fearing that Henry would break through after the explosion broke out. Henry tumbled the ball and found that no one came to grab him. He was interested and came directly to his feet to volley.


    The ball flew from his feet at a very fast speed. Under the light of the rain, it seemed that a lightning flashed, and the perfect parabola appeared over the half of Leeds United.


    Goalkeeper Martin never imagined that the opponent was more than 40 yards away from the goal and actually hit a long shot!


    Pirlo''s long-range shot was like an assassin''s killing blow in the dark. Martin''s vision was blocked at the time. When he saw the ball, the ball burst out of the middle of the defender, accelerated after rebounding, he could not save it. The bottom left corner of the goal.


    He can fully see Henry¡¯s foot ball. After all, in addition to his own defender and midfielder, he is Henry. Klose also ran to the left to prepare for the response or cover Henry. Martin¡¯s vision was completely unobstructed. , Henry''s ball shot across the sky at a rapid speed, dangling into the upper right corner of the goal, Martin moved two steps, staggering under his feet, slipping...


    "My God! Henry scored a super world wave! How wonderful is this ball? Just the impeccable trajectory of football is enough to unforgettable, and before that? Nedved long pass The football left the ground, Henry stopped the ball on the chest, did not let the ball fall to the ground, and turned to complete the turn. The football fell from the air, the thigh turned the ball, and another volley shot! This must be a goal he will never forget for life, too It¡¯s pretty, it¡¯s amazing!"


    Henry saw the ball enter and rushed to the side of the court. He knelt down on his knees halfway. The slippery ground allowed him to slide 10 meters away from the track. The spikes left two parallel tracks on the turf.


    The place where Henry''s slide ended was right in front of Aldridge. When the inertia of the slide disappeared, Henry stood up again and embraced Aldridge. The next second, they were surrounded by teammates.


    When Millwall players and fans cheered and celebrated, the Liz United players had squatted down and their heads down on the court. There were more than 15 minutes in the game, but they were shocked, their eyes filled with confusion, and their hearts were confused.


    This less than 30 minutes in the second half allowed them to deepen their understanding of the gap between them and Millwall again!


    Fear rises irresistibly in my heart and grows into a demon.


    In two games, Millwall used two very different ways to make them feel desperate, and even caused them to have a disgust of football and want to escape football.


    In the first, Millwall attacked violently, which made them breathless and beat them to no avail.


    The second is that in the second half, Millwall played a counter-attack, they attacked, Millwall''s counterattack, one hit and one accurate, less than 30 minutes, conceding three goals.


    Can''t keep it.


    Attack is self-mutilation!


    Because as soon as they invest in offensive forces, the backcourt becomes bigger and bigger, and Millwall players have too much individual ability. Their offense is more like opening their own doors to destroy their opponents.


    Playing with Millwall, let them experience the torment that life is better than death.


    This is what Aldridge said, if the top strong teams play counterattacks, they can make their opponents desperate!


    According to the actual situation, it is okay to play like this occasionally. If this is set as the first tactic, there will be problems, because like in the league, most games are still based on attacking and breaking intensive defense, not leading the score, how to play anti-anti?


    Aldridge didn''t expect Leeds United to kill himself. The second half came with a fierce attack and opened the backcourt to let Millwall wreak havoc.


    O''Reilly was blind, and when the fourth ball was dropped, he sat back again.


    If possible, he would prefer to escape directly from Elland Road Stadium.


    Two games, this game is not finished, Leeds United conceded double-digit goals!


    Before the start of the game four days ago, he was also ambitious. The whole person was heroic, enjoying the praise of the outside world and looking forward to winning the Champions League this season!


    In just four days, now, in the bleak wind and rain, his mouth was dry and his heart was beating like thunder, only to feel as if the world had changed.


    Audridge slaughtered ten O''Reilly, and he was still Odric. In his glorious resume, O''Reilly and Leeds United did not even qualify for the list.


    But O''Reilly is not the same as O''Reilly five days ago.

 Chapter 626： The pinnacle turning point, the ups and downs reversing

    In the box at Elland Road Stadium, Leeds United President Ritzdale had a sullen face before the game started. This expression did not change a bit. Whenever Leeds United lost the ball, he closed his eyes for about ten seconds.


    Today he is not alone watching the ball in the box, but Arthur did not come today, but his assistant accompanied him to watch the game.


    The game time came to 85 minutes, Millwall won no suspense, the three main players rested, and Leeds United did not attack, killing time on the field.


    Ritzdale suddenly said a word softly, as if to himself.


    "Alas, the qualification for the Champions League next season is suspended."


    In the Champions League 1:6 and now 0:5, Ritzdale feels that 1:6 is actually negligible, because Leeds lost in the semi-finals and lost to Millwall, which is expected by most people. As a result, it''s just that the negative impact is too great, but the money to be earned in the Champions League is a lot.


    The league''s 0:5 is fatal. Liverpool and Tottenham have already played 3-1. After Liverpool won, they will leave Leeds United 4 points away. Ipswich is still a draw. In the league With three rounds remaining, Leeds has overtaken Liverpool and hopes have become extremely slim.


    Champions League qualifications, the foundation of Leeds United''s long-term development!


    The result of this game can almost announce the final ranking of Leeds United this season, beyond the top four.


    Ritzdale had to re-examine the team''s strength. Last year, the league was fifth, last year, fourth in the league, and this year, 99% of the possibility of losing four.


    Leeds United did not stay steadily in the top four of the Premier League as he had imagined. Fighting for four is not the situation he wants to see. This is very dangerous. It must be ensured that Leeds United can qualify for the Champions League.


    He has reached a dilemma.


    The current team of Leeds United is to compete for the strength of the fourth, and no one can guarantee it.


    But if the top four of the league are not available next season, Leeds United is over!


    There is no retreat, only to continue desperately.


    Ritzdale will continue to strengthen the team''s strength, which was put on the stage to discuss in his meeting with O''Reilly yesterday.


    O''Reilly is not a god. Chelsea''s investment in the past few years has been comparable to that of Bieliz. As a result, Chelsea is now heavily in debt and half-dead. Bates has to change his business strategy and find Ranieri who can tap the potential internally and keep himself safe.


    Ritzdale expects a miracle to happen. Leeds United can enter the UEFA Champions League next season. If the miracle does not happen, he still has to continue to raise debts to consolidate Leeds United''s league position and go further to lock the top four.


    Compared with the chairman of Ritzdale thinking about team building, the assistant next to him is less serious.


    He suddenly froze when he heard the words of the chairman.


    Champions League qualification, dangling?


    Hang a fart!


    It must be gone.


    Leeds United played Millwall today, then Chelsea, then Arsenal.


    Fuck the London team!


    Especially **** Millwall.


    The assistant also remembered the humiliation that was rejected by Aldridge two years ago.


    My heart cursed the Millwall bus accident, the plane crash, it is best to put a fire on the Lion King Stadium!


    After the curse was over, the assistant looked down at Mr. President, frowning and contemplating, and suddenly burst into tears.


    Why?


    Why Millwall, the former rogue team, is now so good!


    With the world''s top stadium, the transfer market makes a lot of money, there are championships every year, the coach is young and handsome, the idols grab a lot, the players are obedient and not troublesome... **** your fucking!


    The ambitious chairman and the hard-working assistant each thought about their own affairs, and the game on the court is about to come to the end.


    In the stands, die-hard fans who loved Leeds United concealed their faces, and fans of the crazy lions were raving about here from start to finish.


    When the game time came to the 89th minute, Aldridge turned around on the sidelines and walked towards the player channel.


    "The game has not officially ended, but Hall left early. This is obviously a contempt for Leeds United. The language of the lens is very tasteful. First, Aldridge''s back, and then immediately cut to O''Reilly''s expression. "


    Generally speaking, even if Millwall wins the opponent by 10 goals, the coach does not shake hands with the opponent and leaves early. Either they are in love, they can¡¯t bear to see the results, or they hate, and they don¡¯t care about even the most basic respect. opponent.


    Aldridge obviously had no love with Leeds United.


    He walked into the player''s tunnel and planned to go directly to the interview area. The routine ended Leeds'' trip.


    Visiting Leeds twice in these four days was not a pleasant experience, even though both games were a big win.


    The Champions League, killing Leeds United, the league, cut off Leeds United''s chance to enter the Champions League next season.


    Aldridge has coached a team in England for 7 years and witnessed the decline of the last Premier League champion Leeds United in the Premier League era, and then rose to the peak again, but this peak, in these four days, crossed a turning point, Next, Leeds United will turn from prosperity to decline!


    In general, the decline of a strong team is relatively slow, and the aging of the lineup is the most common cause of decline.


    And this time Leeds United fell from the peak, the speed of its collapse is jaw-dropping, and it can even be listed as a typical case of the failure of the football industry. The final outcome of Leeds United was shocking.


    In an interview, BBC reporters kept mentioning O''Reilly, hoping that Audridge would evaluate his opponents, and he also wanted to explain why he did not shake hands with each other after the game and whether it was related to the last Champions League event.


    At this time, Aldridge realized why he was so disgusted in the heart that the outside world put him and O''Reilly together to discuss, compare, and create gimmicks.


    This has nothing to do with coaching ability, record, image and other factors, but Aldridge and O''Reilly are not the same type of coach in their bones. It is precisely that O''Reilly is the type of coach he does not agree with.


    The Premier League coach has a lot of voice in the recruitment process. Leeds United''s crazy investment was only started after O''Leary took office.


    When the Hall family had a net worth of 200 million pounds, Aldridge only dared to ask his elder brother to borrow 30 million pounds. He was sober. In the football industry, there is no money, but spending money must do what you can.


    The club is supported by a strong consortium, the development is guaranteed by funds, and the results are fast. This is not false, but it is only the record on the field. The economic income is definitely negative. Like Italy, almost all clubs are operated in this mode, relying on the backstage. The wide boss, the boss is rich, eat and drink without worry, the boss has no money, liquidation and bankruptcy, Parma, Lazio and other clubs are short-lived, what is the difference between Leeds United in essence? If Bates didn''t find the Russian gold master to take over Chelsea and the gold cicadas were uncovered, how could there still be the **** blues of Megatron Europe in history?


    This is the trend of the entire Italian league. Another result is that when these backstage bosses, even Moratti and Berlusconi, are unable to invest, the club¡¯s financial situation plummets. The entire Serie A is developed and promoted in the football market to create itself. The process of brand value income lags far behind the Premier League.


    Aldrich does not deny that a gold owner has a pure love for football, so he does not invest in cost, but this is not a long-term way for a football club to survive. The kind of money invested by external funds seems to be invested, and the club¡¯s lifeline is too much. fragile.


    Moreover, seven years ago, he could not predict what would happen in the future. What if he had a natural advantage to win over talented players? Is it guaranteed to be absolutely successful? If you don¡¯t succeed, you will make your own achievements. If you can¡¯t do anything, he will fulfill his promise and become a young boy. Fortunately, he succeeded, and he also built the value of the Millwall brand, so that a club has a long-term development foundation, Millwall Not counting the transfer market now, every season has a lot of profits, as long as the momentum is stabilized for a few years, and the position of the giants is solid, Millwall can continue to operate in a virtuous circle.


    Thinking of Leeds United''s future destiny, Aldridge didn''t want to stay at the Elland Road Stadium for a minute.


    O''Reilly, Ritzdale, how many Leeds fans will suffer in the long run?


    After a perfunctory interview with the game, Aldridge left Elland Road Stadium directly, sitting on the team bus and waiting for the team to return to London.


    The light rain stopped, and the clouds closed and the rain dispersed. As dusk approached, a ray of dazzling light from the sky hit the bus window, which reflected on Aldridge''s face.


    ...


    Millwall added 11:1 on two consecutive away games to slaughter Leeds United. England was shocked and sensational Europe!


    The outside world realized that Millwall was at the peak of the sprint stage at the end of the season.


    The only person who disagreed was Manchester United manager Ferguson.


    The old Scottish man declared that Millwall would still make mistakes in the last three rounds of the league. Manchester United hopes to reverse it. Even if the final battle will be in the league finale, the Red Devils will definitely beat Millwall to reach the Premier League.


    Aldrich did not respond to external statements, the facts speak louder than words.


    Ferguson is only sophistry, but not to fight against Millwall, on the contrary, it is to let the Red Devils not let that breath out!


    The Red Devils aimed at the final battle of the league. What about Millwall? In the third round of the league, there was already double insurance. Even if one of the first two games made a mistake, the closing game was played at the Lion King Stadium. Against the Red Devils, Millwall¡¯s situation is much easier than Manchester United¡¯s. Ferguson¡¯s previously announced two-line combat pressure on Millwall is huge. This situation is completely gone. Millwall still has to play in the Champions League, but the final is after the end of the league. As for the second round of the Champions League semifinals, Millwall can use it. Ignore.


    Leeds United went to London for the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals. O''Reilly brought in few soldiers and horses, and mainly focused on new faces. Most of the main players did not even enter the roster.


    The media clamored that this was the "dignity war" of Leeds United, but the Leeds understood in their hearts that the reality was cruel and could not conceal the sorrow: 1:6, 0:5, where is dignity to talk about?


    The defeated general was not brave enough. Leeds lost two consecutive games. The main players who started in two consecutive games would rather die than face Millwall for the third time in a week!


    Leeds United''s Champions League is over, and the league is 99% over. O''Reilly calmed down at this time, relieved all pressure, and prepared for the next season. In the third game, he first took the posture of training. , Let more young players enter the field, it doesn¡¯t matter if you lose, I regained a little bit of the past, I admitted in an interview that I¡¯m not Millwall¡¯s opponent, but the two defeats are not a true manifestation of Leeds United¡¯s strength, Leeds United¡¯s lineup Young, there is room for improvement.


    O''Reilly''s remarks did not get much support from the outside world. He just said the truth, but the outside world hoped that he would be crazy and let this third game continue the war. But Leeds United bowed its head, recognized the reality, and Mingjin received the troops. Raise your hand and surrender. The second round of the Champions League semi-final is destined to lose its important significance.

 Chapter 627： Resolve disputes

    Aldridge had expected the second round of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals to set a new club record: the lowest attendance record!


    The outcome of the game loses its meaning before the game.


    The news from Leeds United before the game also showed that the Leeds United would send a large number of substitutes and young players. Audric also announced that he would send young players to the game.


    In this way, the tickets for the Champions League semi-finals that were originally more expensive than the Premier League, what else is worth watching?


    However, when the game day came, the club gave a ticket sales ratio that surprised Audridge. 96% of the tickets were sold. Even if someone bought a ticket and did not look at it, the attendance rate would definitely exceed 94%. This will not set a new record for the club¡¯s attendance.


    In fact, thanks to the Leeds United, two consecutive away games, the local fans in London suffocated enough, after the first game, he waited for Leeds to come to London, who had wanted to directly slaughter Leeds United in the league. The main force did not dare to send it, but this could not stop the enthusiasm of the fans, even if the two teams sent a substitute lineup to enter the field, the cheers would also scare the dogs of the Leeds United substitute lineup!


    Aldridge was sitting in the locker room, waiting for players to return to pre-match training after the warm-up.


    After a while, the warm-up players returned to the locker room one by one. Slowly and seriously put on the jersey again, and also deliberately organized it, for fear of appearing messy and detracting from the appearance.


    Aldridge''s eyes were in a trance, looking at the young faces, as if going back in time, back to the stage where he had just started playing the world. At that time, Trezeguet, Shevchenko, Pire and others were so angry. Pressing, Stam, Thuram, Nedvide and others are beginning to break through the sky.


    Seven years is not a cycle in the ancient Chinese culture, but in Europe, seven is a mysterious and perfect figure. There are seven days in a week. Jehovah used six days for creation, and the seventh day is rest.


    Seven years, it seems like a reincarnation, Aldridge recalled the original passionate cry, and the bullfighting seemed to be leveling Europe. Seven years later, he is not arrogant now, he no longer needs to whisper the player Dare to face the fierce battle with him, play for him, play for Millwall, no matter new and old players, should football football have this consciousness to conquer Europe? Europe, already at the foot of the mad lion.


    In the locker room, among the players who started this game, the most qualified are Neil and Glenn Charles. Although Palyuka is older, he is only a newcomer in the locker room.


    Neal and Glenn Charles are contemplative when they see Aldridge. They are more like a daze, and they don¡¯t bother. They have already worn their jersey shoes and packed their leg guards. They can play at any time, but the head coach does not speak, no one Dare to open the locker door without permission.


    Only De Rossi, a player who was suddenly put on the first team as a starter, was in high spirits and shouted to Aldridge without any fear: "Boss, we are waiting for your pre-match training!"


    Aldridge recovered, looked at De Rossi, and said half-truth: "If you perform badly today, I will replace you at halftime."


    With a fearless look, De Rossi said powerfully: "I remember all the words that the coaches said at the game preparation meeting yesterday. I will never make a mistake today!"


    Make a mistake?


    He starts with a midfielder and plays defensively. Of course, whether he makes mistakes is the basic criterion.


    Aldridge smiled a little, then stood up and said to the team players: "If four years ago, three years ago, I would say to you: Don''t have pressure in the game, the result is not important, as long as you can play the level of usual training That¡¯s okay. But today, I can only tell you that you put on Millwall jerseys and played on behalf of Millwall in the Champions League semi-finals. This is a chance that many good players may not have in their lifetime. The result of the game, of course Important! You must be worthy of the crazy lion¡¯s jersey, worthy of the fans who came to watch the game today for more than 50,000 admissions, and worthy of the sweat of your own hard work! Remember, we are mad lions, whether you are young or not, you have There is a firm consciousness, the goal of the mad lion will always dominate Europe! This consciousness will accompany your entire career, and you will not forget it one day! Remember?"


    In the locker room, the older generation players just nodded, while younger generation players like De Rossi, Alonso, and Villa shouted in unison: "Remember!"


    Aldridge walked out of the locker room, the players followed, and lined up in the player awaiting appearance.


    When Aldridge walked into the stadium, he first heard the singing of fanatic lions fans in the stands. The new lyrics from the series pointed directly at Leeds United, mocking and sarcastic, and there was a section on Bowyer. Bashing, describing him as a pig or dog...


    When the players started to enter the stadium, the stadium master held a microphone next to the exit of the channel and read out the names of every crazy lion player, cheers and applause rang from the stands.


    In the era of Aldridge''s mad lion, seven years of glorious years, fans have also developed a habit: pay attention to the good seedlings of the youth team.


    Because of the genius of today¡¯s youth team, tomorrow may be a famous goal for the crazy lion!


    Most of the players who played today are young players from the first team. The only one to be transferred from the youth team to the roster is De Rossi, who is still 18 years old and is still three months away.


    The captain of the youth team has already made his first team debut, but his debut in today''s game is only a milestone in his career, and like Ronaldo''s debut on the Toyota Cup, that kind of game is counted. It''s nothing, although looking back 20 years later, there must be a certain legend.


    When the master of ceremonies read De Rossi''s name, the audience cheered with applause.


    De Rossi led the Millwall youth team, in the European "next generation" league, like Ronaldo, Ribery as the attacking line Millwall youth team won the first European Youth League championship, it is precisely When the skyrocketed.


    Crazy Lion fans have no doubt that De Rossi will become a powerful member of the Millwall formation in the future.


    "The second leg of the Champions League semi-final battle started at the Lion King Stadium. Millwall, who is at home, leads the Leeds United with a total score of 6:1. The result of this game should not affect Millwall¡¯s advancement to the final. Leeds United also gave up In view of the idea of ??reversing the opponent on the road, this sign can be seen from the starting list sent by Leeds United, and Millwall also trains young players, the game becomes like this, I think, this is not the UEFA is willing to see The situation, which should have been the peak of the Champions League stage, has become the training of two teams in England, playing a game that has no meaning of victory or defeat, but the reason is that Millwall is too strong, or Leeds United collapsed. Unbelievable? The facts have created that we can only appreciate the performance of young players today. Millwall has a reputation as a cradle of superstars. Maybe, the guy who has done well in our eyes today can grow into a superstar in the future.


    Millwall discharged a weird 442 formation today.


    Goalkeeper: Palyuka.


    Guards: Ferreira, Metzelder, Balzali, Neal.


    Midfielders: Pedretti, De Rossi, Alonso, Joe Cole.


    Forwards: Glenn Carr, Villa.


    Leeds United''s starting was a good 442.


    ..."


    Today''s game has become like this. It is estimated that UEFA is going to be crazy. There is not even a first-class star in the Champions League semi-finals. It is estimated that the fans of the two teams except the two parties will watch the game. Even if other fans care about the results, then It will only look at the battle report the next day.


    Aldrich no matter how the outside world reacts, he has always been serious about his work, the game wins and losses are meaningless, but he is equally serious in preparing for this game, and in order to prevent Leeds United from throwing smoke bombs, he actually prepared two starting lists until the game In the first four hours, it was determined that Leeds United did not bring the main lineup from Leeds.


    Therefore, he can safely let these young players play in the game, without having to send some of the main force to suppress the battle, to give young players a psychological support.


    He designed a unilateral flying wing formation as the main tactic today.


    Pedroetti and De Rossi have a solid line of defense with double waists. Alonso and Joe Cole are in front of and behind the midfield. Joe Cole has a high degree of freedom and can be in the middle. Glenchar is free on both sides. Activity, Villa played center.


    The lineup is young, the attack points are spread out and the fire is not enough, and it is more practical to focus on one side.


    At the beginning of the game, Aldridge stood on the sidelines and carefully watched the situation on the court. This is his habit, regardless of whether the game is important, whether he is standing or sitting.


    Today there are many young players on the field, so he has to stand on the sidelines and give the young players some pressure. I hope they will not be distracted by the loss of the game''s meaning.


    Although Leeds United has sent a lineup of substitutes and young players, the average starting age is about 3 years older than Millwall, and his physical strength and experience are more abundant. The overall strength of the two sides should be half a catty. After all, Millwall sent out It is a "doll soldier" like De Rossi, Alonso, Joe Cole, and Villa who can''t even reach the age of 20.


    Millwall played in an orderly manner in the middle and backcourts. He passed the ball well, Alonso''s technical ability has grown well in the past two years, but he lacks experience, especially the experience of the competition, and the mental and psychological tempering of high-intensity fast-paced games. It is difficult for him to let Pirlo stand on the stage of the big scene as early as he did to train Pirlo. It is also a dangerous test. If such a test is dangerous, if it is successful, it may sink.


    However, the players in the frontcourt played distinctively on the field. Joe Cole took the ball away, dared to make moves, and his awareness of passing position was also significantly improved. The Glennall single-handed raid performance was the focus of the field. With the advancement of technology, we dare to break through the last line of defense on the front and form a direct threat.


    Aldridge was watching the game, but Aureli on the other side stood up and walked towards him.


    O''Reilly figured it out the day before yesterday, he and Odrich do not need to compete for the length of the day and night. In the entire UEFA world, Odric''s men have countless defeats, including many famous coaches, and he himself has not even won a championship. Famous? That was holding him on Fleet Street, good morning on him, hiding a gift of distress.


    Just as when Aldridge had just gained fame, Fleet Street lavished him on his poles. The purpose was to create a sensation when he failed, creating news shock. Fortunately, Aldridge did not let Fleet Street do what he wanted, but O''Reilly The **** head of the recently scolded dog instantly fell from the altar.


    However, O''Reilly still wants to resolve the contradiction with O''Dridge and show some demeanor. To the outside world, it may well be a good talk. In the coaching industry, O''Reilly is still young and the future is still long.

 Chapter 628： Carry King Banner

    In fact, O''Reilly still has a selfishness. After he talked to Ritzdale to confirm that the team will give him sufficient transfer funds to recruit after the end of the season, O''Reilly can now start to search for transfer targets. Too.


    He believes that Leeds United still lacks strikers, Viduka, and Smith. It is not bad in his mind, but for teams that are aiming for the Champions League, the frontline reserve is still too thin.


    In his citation list, Klose ranked first.


    Millwall''s main striker, Henry''s leg, Leeds United can''t afford it, Larson is nearly thirty years old, Ronaldinho? Even if Ronaldinho is a free agent, Leeds United is the highest salary in the world, Ronaldinho can not go.


    Klose did not have a guarantee of his main position in Millwall. In the first half of the season, in the case of an injury to Nedved, Klose performed well, and he has played steadily on the bench. If he can go to Leeds United, he will definitely become The iron can''t move.


    This kind of giant non-main striker player, Leeds United feels that it will be able to win 15 million pounds. It will not add more than 20 million pounds anyway.


    Aldrich found that O''Reilly had come to his side again. The opponent looked as usual and looked at the players on the court and said: "Mirwall has a lot of young talents, Joe Cole, Villa, and will be able to pick up Larson in the future. Class."


    Although training a player, its achievements are highly unpredictable during the training stage, but in the mind of Aldridge, it is really positioning for training players.


    For example, Glenshare, as of today, there will be no change in positioning: Substitute.


    And Villa, Aldridge really intends to develop into the main force of the future. As for when to succeed, it is difficult to say that Villa is not even 20 years old now, players become famous prematurely, become the main force too early, or even prematurely. It is not necessarily a good thing to enter the peak state.


    Ronaldinho, Ronaldo''s Brazilian players are the opposite of European players.


    South American players are in a very early state and entering the peak period soon. If the talented South American players are 23-24 years old and still can''t make a name, then there is basically no expectation.


    European players generally come a little later than the peak, but their careers will last longer. Whether the career curve rises from the beginning or declines after the peak, the fluctuations are relatively stable.


    Stars such as Raul, Piero, Henry, and Irving, who have become famous for a long time, belong to the different types of European players. Instead, they are more like South American players. The peak comes early, and it is under great pressure at the early stage. It was at its peak, but it was not as good as the period around 25 years old.


    Aldridge didn¡¯t go to see O''Reilly and said lightly: "The young players at Leeds United are not bad, Robbie Keane. I tried to introduce him back then, but I couldn''t meet his requirements."


    Among the lineups sent by Leeds United today, one of the strikers is Robbie Keane.


    Speaking of Keene, he was unlucky. He was belted to Inter Milan under the name of a genius. As a result, Lippi was fired by Moratti first. In the crowded locker room of Inter Milan, Keane had less Lippi backed up, naturally marginalized, and was loaned back to Leeds United in the middle of the season.


    O''Reilly''s expression became weird, as if he was trying to figure out Aldridge''s words.


    Is Mad Lion also interested in Robbie Keane?


    He immediately dismissed the topic and talked about the situation in the Premier League. Leeds United and Manchester United are deadly enemies. O''Reilly did not explicitly say that the mad lion won the championship, but there is a meaning in the words: the mad lion can best make Manchester United finished second for five consecutive years!


    Aldridge was not interested in talking to him, and O''Reilly did not intend to stay for a long time. Before leaving, he said freely: "Hall, looking forward to our continued competition next season."


    What he said was quite like a match between opponents and heroes.


    Aldrich turned his head to stare at him, and for a long time he did not speak. O''Reilly was uncomfortable and did not know what was wrong with his words.


    Aldrich had no personal relationship with O''Reilly, so he said bluntly: "O''Reilly, if I were Peter Reed, what would you say in your heart if I said that to you?"


    Peter Reed is the head coach of Sunderland. He led Sunderland in the first half of the season and sang all the way forward. He was once ranked behind Millwall and Manchester United, and fell until the final stage, falling out of the top six.


    Sunderland is a small family, with Phillips leading the offense, occasionally a splendid battle, but in the Premier League even the spoilers are not counted.


    O''Leary froze for a moment and then understood what Odric meant.


    If Reed said to O''Reilly a similar battle next time, it would be really unpredictable, obviously not in the same grade, what can we expect?


    Even if you look forward to it, you can''t be too high looking at yourself.


    Aldrich is ironic about O''Reilly, but not self-confident and self-righteous.


    Aureli''s blood was upset and his expression was slightly angry, which was completely different from the picture he had imagined. He thought he said that Audric would respond wisely. As everyone knows, no one feels like a rival.


    We are not at the same level, there is nothing to compare.


    O''Reilly cut his teeth with a hint of irritation: "Hall, you are too arrogant!"


    Aldridge lowered his head and sighed, nodding: "Well, I''m too arrogant."


    O''Reilly was so angry that he couldn''t say a word, and turned away with a sneer.


    Aldridge sighed again. He was not crazy, nor was he the one who said it, nor was it that Aureli said in a single word. At least, he felt that he would not give Aureli any face.


    This has nothing to do with the team''s record and mutual prestige in football, but attitude.


    Aldrich considers himself to be conscientious and hard-working, and his professional attitude is better than that of O''Reilly. For today''s game, O''Reilly has an indifferent attitude, but Odric still takes it seriously, so why not Is it comparable to yourself?


    Looking forward to fighting next time?


    Aldridge never expected to play against such a coach, there was little to learn, and there was no need to prove anything.


    When O''Reilly turned away, the Lion King Stadium burst into cheers.


    On the field, scored a goal!


    After receiving a cross from Glencharr, Villa used a ball-control rhythm to slam the ball out of the air and then broke through the opponent''s defender.


    Aldridge smiled. This Wednesday''s battle with Leeds United finally returned to the essence of football with a smile.


    He gave applause to Villa, and then quickly returned to normal color, to keep the young players in a stable state of mind, win or lose, not to be blinded by a good performance or two.


    At the end of the game, the scoreboard showed a score that made Leeds United fans hurt.


    3: 0!


    Villa opened the record for the first time, Glennshire arranged the remaining two goals.


    Leeds United''s three battles with Millwall, swallowing 14 shots. This 7 days a week is a nightmare for Leeds United.


    The meaning of the game''s victory or defeat disappeared before the game, but the young players who played in the game won the game, naturally it was very joyful, Audridge walked into the field after the game, De Rossi screamed and rushed over, Audridge used his arm to clip He laughed around his neck.


    "Boss, how am I doing? Haha, I want to replace me at halftime, no way! Hahahaha."


    De Rossi¡¯s performance today can only be said to be very good at his 17-year-old level, but the average level in the Premier League is still far away, but the opponent is the bench of Leeds United, the test is not big, and he is only a double The one in the lower back, and the insurance of Pedretti.


    Aldridge praised Alonso, Villa, Barzali and other players one after another, and then raised his hands to applaud the stands when he left the court. At this time, the fans of the lions in the stands were "selling off" the Leeds fans. The singing sounded again.


    The Roaring Fans organization has been displaying unique ways of cheering in the stands at the end of the game.


    The members of the Lions Roaring Fan Organization with the capital letters printed on their backs turned around to form a novel scoreboard.


    Millwall 14:1 Leeds United.


    Today Aldridge attended the post-match press conference to give reporters a face and wait patiently for questions.


    Fleet Street can''t look up in front of its European counterparts.


    From the quarter-finals to the quarter-finals, Fleet Street has been advocating the prosperity of the Premier League. The quarter-finals occupy half of the country and the quarter-finals are occupying three seats. Everyone is looking forward to the Premier League civil war in the Champions League final.


    The results of it?


    Leeds United lost a total score of 1:9, not only a disgraceful exit, but also caused a blow to the image of English football because of the scandal in the field.


    Arsenal are not upset, Bayern Munich double kill at home and away, Millwall will join Bayern Munich to teach San Siro!


    The advocacy of the quarter-finals started, but Bayern Munich.


    Double kill Manchester United, double kill Arsenal!


    Does Fleet Street dare to say that the Premier League is flourishing?


    If Bayern Munich defeats Millwall in the final, it will definitely be Bayern Munich''s own legendary season to overthrow the Premier League!


    Aldridge commented on the game and praised several players in the team. He did not mention the performance of Leeds United players. There are two young players who played today. He can''t even remember his name.


    Fleet Street has never hoped that Millwall will beat Bayern Munich in the final.


    Both the Premier League''s two giants lost to Bayern Munich, and they lost their faces without a face. The host and guest played double kills, and they couldn''t even get a tie.


    The banner of the English Premier League will eventually be carried by a crazy lion!


    Aldridge is very face-saving, this king''s flag, shouldering his shoulders unwillingly.


    "Bayern Munich has been one of the top teams in Europe for the past two years. Millwall also proved his strength with the championship. I am looking forward to the finals. I will meet Bayern Munich in the Champions League for the third consecutive year. I don¡¯t think this is Coincidentally, because the last to stay is often a strong team. This is determined by strength. The dark horse will have it, but it is difficult to reach the end. Bayern Munich defeated Manchester United and Arsenal to advance to the final, which will not be against Millwall Have any impact, because we are suppressing Manchester United and Arsenal in the league. Bayern Munich hope to win the Champions League again after 25 years, we also hope to become the legendary division that can defend the Champions League, the desire to win will not be different Just now, some people wondered whether Millwall would lack aggressiveness. If you are a player or the coach of this team, you will know that when you have the opportunity to achieve such great achievements as defending the Champions League, you will know that your heart is What kind of feelings."


    "We represent England, and we are also the strongest team in England. We will not have the idea of ??defending the honor of English football in our hearts. That is too noble. We are just mortals. We will only try our best to fight for all honors. This is not England and The game in Germany, but the battle between Millwall from England and Bayern Munich from Germany, you ask me who will win? My answer will always be only one: Millwall. I won¡¯t think about losing the game What will happen, we are the strongest, we pursue every victory."


    The young commander publicly declared Bayern Munich after the game. In his eyes, this is the matchup with matching levels and levels. The real contest is the pinnacle of Europe!

 Chapter 629： Eve of the decisive battle

    Millwall''s third battle with Leeds United came to an end. The 14:1 total score made Leeds United a laughing stock in football.


    There are losses and gains, O''Reilly fell to the altar. He stepped on the Aldrich two years ago and was put on the altar. The fifth place in the Premier League was not enough to make him special, but in that season, Leeds United won. A flat Millwall, O''Reilly''s scenery is endless, that is, Millwall and Aldridge who have just won the Champions League as the background.


    A year later, the Leeds United League went one step further, winning the league fourth, entering the Champions League, and reaching the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup in the same season.


    Another year later, Leeds United reached the semi-finals and entered the semi-finals in the European arena for two consecutive years. It is the peak moment of Leeds United. Who ever wanted to be at this time, Leeds United and O''Reilly were beaten by mad lions Returning to its original shape, even stigmatized.


    Between the gains and losses, Aldridge lost money. He knew in his heart that the outside world actually hoped to see Leeds United defeating Millwall in an upset, and he led his team to beat Leeds United with a big score, and would not get much praise from the outside world. The loss of fame between him and Millwall is too great.


    No way, this is the normal state of football, Aldridge kills the prestige, and now no matter how many small fish and small shrimp kills, it is a goal stepping stone for others to become famous.


    The journey of the mad lion continues, and Aldridge''s life is still in order.


    In the penultimate round of the Premier League, Millwall will go to Manchester. The preparations have been done in the daytime. When he returns home at night, Aldridge has eaten and took a shower. Then he will head into the study and work overtime.


    Either don''t do it, try your best to do it.


    When he was the coach of the England national team, he became a habit of working overtime at home.


    Regularly observe the performance of the England internationals. This is not only enough to look at the scout report. The specific play of the players, the ups and downs of the curve, whether the club has played a new position or played under the coach¡¯s new tactics. Unexpected effects and so on.


    Almost 11 o''clock in the evening, Aldridge was still watching the video of Hargreaves'' game in Bayern Munich, combined with the scout report to make self-judgment, holding a notebook in his hand to record the summary.


    Certain England internationals, he really does not expect the future, such as Bart, Husky, Phil Neville, they have passed the most critical stage of player growth, and younger players, more malleable, is Audrey The key point of Qi''s concern is that he also has a national team recommendation list on hand. There is a name on it that Aldridge is paying attention to recently: John Terry.


    Terry had good luck. At the age when he needed the highest position, he met the opportunity of Chelsea''s money contraction and could only tap the potential inside. There was also a kind-hearted Ranieri patient training. Chelsea''s record fell this season, but Terry was growing rapidly.


    There are three official matches in the World Preliminaries. Finland, Germany, Greece and Aldridge are full of confidence in the qualifying. Even if they are close to playing the play-offs, he can pass the game in 180 minutes.


    The World Cup has more than a year. Terry is after all a figure that the Three Lions are worth relying on for many years. Going to see the big scene early is good for his growth. Aldrich decided to call for the first time in the national team friendly match in June. Terry, as for the final World Cup roster, it is still far away.


    The door of the study was gently pushed open, and a "little lion" and a cute "kangaroo" walked in lightly. Aldrich had his eyes fixed on the notebook, but he had noticed it, his mouth slightly raised, and waited When "little lion" came to his side and hid behind the desk, he suddenly yelled at the probe.


    "Wow!"


    Burt, who was wearing a lion-shaped one-piece pajamas, was startled and leaned back, knocking Earl in a kangaroo pajamas directly to the ground.


    Aldrich saw the two sons fell to the ground, and immediately got up and walked over, fearing that they would hurt, but the two little guys climbed up like no one else, and fell into Aldridge''s arms. In the middle, Aldridge sat down and asked them to sit on their laps.


    "why do not you sleep?"


    Aldridge smiled with his forehead on Burt''s forehead, and Burt pressed **** Aldridge''s forehead, saying, "Sleep."


    When the children talked with milk and milk gas, Aldridge sounded sweet, like a natural sound.


    "Huh? It''s not good to lie"


    "Sleep, um, sleep, 10 minutes, no, 20 minutes."


    Earl, sitting on Aldridge''s left thigh, defended his brother.


    Aldridge smiled more.


    This is clearly not asleep.


    "Why did you wake up again?"


    Earl pulled out a book from his large pocket in the stomach of his kangaroo pajamas and showed it to Aldridge.


    It turned out that they wanted to hear the story.


    Aldridge turned off the computer and TV in the study, closed the notebook and put it back, then took the two sons back to their bedroom, let them lie down in the bed, and took the book before bed to them. Telling stories, deliberately slowing down the sound, with a certain hypnotic effect, this trick, he learned from Ms. Rowling.


    It took about half an hour for Aldrich to shut his mouth completely and sit quietly by the bed to make sure the two little guys fell asleep. Then he got up and put the book on the head of the bed, bent down to pull the quilt for them. They kissed each other on their foreheads, and finally left gently.


    ...


    "In 67 minutes, Millwall locked the victory through a corner kick attack. At 3:0, Materazze scored a header and there was no suspense in the game. Millwall will continue to lead the Premier League standings!"


    Manchester, Maine Road Stadium.


    The fans of the home team in the stands are so lifeless, and the attendance on the court today is not optimistic.


    Manchester City confirmed the relegation after the old Trafford derby lost to Manchester United.


    There is no fighting spirit at home in this game. Players on the field are probably thinking about their future next season.


    Millwall did not, as expected by the outside world, fight for a life-and-death situation at the last minute of the championship. Today is just a normal play. The players do not see the impatience or the mentality of the game. They play smoothly and the game reaches 67 minutes. Lock the victory.


    Aldridge made substitutions on the sidelines to allow Pirlo and Larson to take a break. He and the two celebrated with high-five, smiling with ease.


    Ferguson was very quiet before the start of this round of the league, and he was not good at expressing or exerting pressure.


    Do Manchester United fight for the championship, should Manchester City help?


    Just kidding, it would be nice if Manchester City did not help. The last round was when Manchester United kicked and relegated its rivals in the same city. What can Ferguson expect from Manchester City?


    At the same time, Manchester United challenged Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium.


    Ferguson sat on the visiting team''s coach seat with a long face, the scoreboard was 0:2, Manchester United led by two goals, but Ferguson was not happy at all.


    In recent years, Millwall has been incredibly fierce at the stage of ending. Such an outbreak is very terrifying.


    This is the effect of Millwall''s habitual harvesting of trophies in May. Players have worked hard to win the championship, celebrate, and go on vacation to form a benign model.


    The live camera frequently locked Ferguson, and the narrator felt deep sympathy when he saw his sad expression.


    "If there is no accident, Manchester United will win the game and their points will reach 88 points. This is since the Premier League. As of 36 rounds, Manchester United has another new record, but Millwall should also win today. Mill Wall has 89 points, 1 point higher than Manchester United. Looking at the points, Millwall is less than last season. Manchester United has more than the same period last season, but Millwall is still suppressing Manchester United. Sir Ferguson has not conceded, but the situation is More and more bad for Manchester United, it is difficult to blame Manchester United for not working hard, can only say that they may lack a little luck, and the decline of York''s state is also a problem for Manchester United itself this season, Ferguson replaced Fanny in the second half of the season York was the right decision. The Dutch proved himself with one goal after another. Ferguson might regret it. Why not use Fanny earlier? He wasted too much patience with York and finally settled after being disappointed again and again. Determined to bring this hero who won the Champions League in 1999 into the cold palace."


    Ferguson was not convinced.


    Why?


    Millwall¡¯s preparation last summer was to travel to the Asian circle. Manchester United¡¯s preparation was more active and serious than the other party. Millwall had the negative impact of Nedved¡¯s absence for half a season, and Gattuso and Matera during the period. In the accident of Qi Hong card''s multiple suspensions, Manchester United is absolutely serious and meticulous in this season''s league. There are no big mistakes, and small mistakes can''t be avoided occasionally, but just looking at the points is more than last season, enough to prove that he also Breaking the limits.


    Millwall won the championship last season, and this season will certainly not break the record of last season, but the points are estimated to be not much different, which is the difference between three and four games.


    Looking back on this season, if he lost to Millwall in the end, Ferguson believes that the only reason for the loss is that Manchester United is not as quiet and united as Millwall.


    After York won the Champions League that season, he appeared on the entertainment page more frequently than football news. Ferguson gave him one chance, two chances, countless opportunities, and finally could not bear York''s two feet. The third edition of the girl''s love soap opera is hot, and York''s performance is deteriorating. Undoubtedly, spending too much energy on the off-court playing between women and women.


    Ugh!


    Ferguson sees the game is about to end, Manchester United will score these three points, or sighed.


    If you trust Fannie from the beginning of the season and let Fannie directly replace York, then this season will not be the passive situation now.


    At the same time, in the first half of the Manchester United League, there was a troublemaker inside the locker room, which also had a certain negative impact on Manchester United''s internal military.


    The troublemaker was Australian goalkeeper Bosnich. Since Bosnich was arrested at the nightclub on the eve of his marriage and beaten by reporters, Ferguson personally rushed to the police station to bail him out and lose his face. It was abandoned by Ferguson.


    After being abandoned, Bosnich showed a very "man" side, and it became a bomb in the Manchester United locker room, especially when he and York smelled the same, and detonated a negative scandal. Bosnich, York, Add an unknown man, two girls, 5 people P self-portraits were captured by reporters, spread all over the streets.


    On January 1st of this year, Bosnich wrote 5 things to do in the New Year in his diary.


    First, bravely fight Ferguson''s Manchester United!


    Second, regain the main position at Manchester United!


    Third, let everyone know how good I am!


    Fourth, let York share Jordan with me.


    Fifth, if the above four things can''t be done, I will die at Old Trafford!


    Bosnich made the Manchester United locker room so wild that his new year''s wishes could not be fulfilled. Only half a month later, Ferguson sent him to Chelsea for free...


    Thinking of what happened in the locker room this season, Ferguson was old, but he was crying.


    Obviously have the opportunity to master the initiative to compete for the championship, but it is that there is rat **** to spoil his hegemony!


    In contrast, although Millwall has experienced many twists and turns this season, the interior of the locker room has not exposed the problems that affect the military. Aldrich has always been squandering internal affairs. After Palyuka joined, Keller declared that he would not accept the third. The goalkeeper¡¯s treatment was silent for less than ten days, because Aldridge not only let him go, but also canceled the friendship between the two parties in the summer, allowing Keller to choose the new owner freely. Salary, Aldridge remembers his hard work for many years, and the transfer fee of at least 2 million pounds is not needed, as long as Keller spends this half season quietly, after all, Bout is injured, Palyuca In case of an accident, someone needs to go up.


    Ferguson is also wondering if Aldridge is the boss, he is just the coach, so in dealing with the interior of the locker room, Aldridge is more neat than he is.

 Chapter 630： Two red carpets

    In May, the UEFA football game is full of smoke.


    In the 37th round of the Premier League, Millwall defeated Southampton away and Manchester United cut Derbyshire at home.


    In the Premier League standings, Millwall topped the list with 92 points, followed by Manchester United with 91 points.


    As soon as Millwall¡¯s game was over, when Audridge was interviewed in the mixed zone, the question the reporter asked was naturally the question of the ultimate Premier League title.


    Aldridge faced the camera with a cruel smile, preaching: "The trophy for this season''s Premier League championship is at the Lion King Stadium. Manchester United wants it? Take it bold and step on our body to **** it! If Manchester United has no strength to take away The championship trophy, please stand on the sidelines and applaud Millwall for winning the championship. We welcome Manchester United to watch the ceremony."


    The words of the young master compared to the past seven years, so domineering exposed for the first time.


    The champion is originally grabbed by himself, no one will give it to you.


    Ferguson also responded in a high-profile manner for the first time: "This season''s Premier League finale, Manchester United will break Millwall''s unbeaten home record for many years at the Lion King Stadium, while taking away the Premier League championship trophy, Millwall is very strong, this It is recognized, but Millwall is not the boss of England!"


    Fleet Street interprets Ferguson''s remarks, speculating that Ferguson may determine that Millwall is not the boss of England for two reasons.


    First, in the Premier League era, both Manchester United and Millwall have won three league titles. In terms of the number of Premier League titles, the two clubs can sit on an equal footing. This season¡¯s championship can only be generated between Manchester United and Millwall, then this is what Decide who is the decisive season for the Premier League overlord.


    The second kind, the King of England, must be the top in the number of championships in the top leagues in England. Sorry, Millwall can¡¯t say that catching up with Liverpool, even catching up with Manchester United, is unmatched. Manchester United has 9, Millwall only There are only three, but Ferguson is unlikely to say that on that basis, otherwise? It means that Manchester United is not as good as Liverpool.


    Aldrich¡¯s 25th birthday is on May 20th. At this time of year, it is either the league ending or the European war ending. He is also used to celebrating at this time and receiving gifts.


    The league ended on the 19th, and the Millwall Club staff intends to celebrate Audric at 0pm that day.


    The players gave the prepared small gifts to Audridge after the preparation and the end of the wartime training in advance. The courtesy was kind and the blessing was a precious gift. In turn, the player¡¯s birthday was in the club. There has always been a staff member who specifically wrote on the schedule, blessing in advance, and giving gifts. If they are first-team players, there will be unexpected big cakes during the working meal.


    On the 19th, just after noon, the streets of East London were full of people. Today, the sun is shining brightly and cloudless. For the weather that is often rainy in London, today is a good day, so that fans can also enjoy a game.


    The street is rendered as a scene where red and blue meet, overlooking, like a slowly flowing red and blue river, flowing from all directions to the magnificent Lion King Stadium.


    In the Premier League, there was a stimulating moment for the final round of the championship. The exciting finale was about to start. BBC sports reporters conducted random street interviews outside the Lion King Stadium, constantly asking fans passing by the same question: who will be the original Season Premier League champion.


    A couple quarreled in an interview.


    "Manchester United will be the champion!"


    "Impossible! It is impossible for them to defeat the powerful mad lion here, Millwall will make Manchester United cry home!


    The couple, the youth wearing a Red Devils jersey, and the girl wearing a mad lion jersey, a simple question for the reporter, but they caused the two to quarrel, and the reporter looked at the next interview target with tears.


    She stopped a father, and his six-year-old son was riding on his shoulders, looking at the blue jerseys on the father and son, the position was clear.


    "Who will be the champion?"


    The father hadn¡¯t answered yet, but the son riding on his head shouted loudly: ¡°Crazy Lions Club is the champion! No team can beat Crazy Lions! No! Look, I¡¯m ready for the camera. Picture! Your question is too stupid!"


    The female reporter was very angry with this rude child.


    I''m too stupid to ask me, did you answer happily? Even the camera is displayed in his hand.


    It is estimated that the child wanted to say a few more words at the end, but he didn''t know what to say, so he scolded the reporter with a stretched face.


    ...


    In the box of the Lion King Stadium, Arthur specially invited friends to watch the ball. His family members are here. The old gangsters are exposed. They carry wine bottles in their hands and drink boiled water. The game is still early. Chat It was extremely hot, at least, it felt like I was back.


    Twenty years ago, they either secretly brought alcohol into the court, or drank almost into the court to watch the ball, the opponent was not pleasing to the eye, and the stands were a little turbulent. They immediately rushed to the front line and made a big noise. .


    In the box next door, Andrew and Ewen and sister-in-law got together to chat. Burt and Earl also wore Millwall jerseys today. The two of them sat in the middle of Melanie from left to right. The little guy was very active and kept telling Melanie what was happening in her life. Melanie bent down from time to time to kiss them, or turned her head to take a peek at Yiwen in the distance.


    There hasn''t been any changes in Ewen. Before working at Millwall, he has been working at Brady''s company for more than a year now. He has a white-collar temperament, not to mention the noble atmosphere, the price is approachable.


    Melanie has been more fulfilled in the past year. She continued to sing solo by herself, and her energy was spent on preparing the album.


    She never believed that she had made the wrong choice at least. At least her sister, Victoria did form a family with Beckham, but Victoria also suffered when she wanted to develop her career. Her new album sales were very bleak, and she was criticized by industry insiders. There is no complete skin.


    The babes group, together, became famous, opened up solo, and none of them can maintain the previous momentum in their personal career. Therefore, Melanie attaches great importance to the first album after independence, and can be described as sleepless during the preparation period.


    She must admit that in her working state, she wants to take good care of her two sons.


    I hope to have more time with children in the future.


    Aldridge didn''t come to the box before the game. He walked into the stadium about half an hour before the game began, and signed a group photo along the sidelines for the fans on the side of the stands.


    Two years ago, when the key battle came, Aldridge signed a photo with the fans. There will always be a lot of fans cheering him on, saying some blessings, or sounding similar requirements, such as: "Milwall Must win today!"


    But now, the fans are just quietly handing over to Audridge the shirts, hats or posters that need to be signed. They have a smile on their face and a pride and admiration in their eyes. Words, but it doesn''t seem to have much to do with the game. Everyone''s trust in Aldridge is almost blind. Without this opponent who can''t be defeated by the young coach, he must say that he must win, but not beautiful.


    "Oh, Martin, you said that Hall always considerately sign fans to meet their demands, is it a kind of compensation?"


    "Andy, I don''t understand your words. What should I compensate? Isn''t he enough to bring Millwall? Or, what does he owe Millwall fans?"


    "Look, sitting in the first row of stands, especially the nearest fans, is bound to have a less broad view of the ball. It''s not as good as sitting in the stands at a high level and looking at the whole picture. Hall is compensating. Fans like this."


    "Hahaha, you are a strong word, the ticket prices are not the same, different ticket prices, different enjoyment, this is a matter of course. But I have a new view."


    "Oh? What is it?"


    In the live broadcast room of Sky Sports, the two gold medal live commentators expressed their own views, which is why TV viewers like their commentary. In addition to understanding the professional, they also have their own unique insights.


    "For the period before the start of the game, for many coaches, they will mobilize the enthusiasm of the players in the locker room or emphasize the tactical arrangements. However, since the boarding of the Premier League, Millwall has explained Millwall in the past six years. In the game, Hall usually enters the court in advance, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, or longer. He is always ahead of the opponent''s players and coaches. He does something that seems irrelevant to the game. Sign the fans. , Chat with reporters on the sidelines, etc., and when his opponent enters the court and sees the picture of Hall, what would be the thought in his heart?"


    "Uh, there might be some anger, think Hall underestimated them."


    "It is true when Millwall has no championship. But when Millwall is already recognized as a strong team in Europe, this feeling will change completely."


    "Well, if you say that, it seems like this, the opponent will feel that Millwall has everything prepared and unhurried, and they have just been repeatedly instructed by the head coach in the locker room, more or less nervous, in such a situation Next, Hall inadvertently gave the opponent psychological pressure."


    "Yes, you said, was it possible that he had imagined this when he started coaching seven years ago? Turning this habit into a psychological battle on the sidelines."


    "No, I don¡¯t think so. If he came up with such psychological tactics at the age of 18 and executed it steadily for seven years, then Hall is not a **** or a demon! I think we still compare him as a human. Well, as David Miller explained when he analyzed Hall, Hall just didn¡¯t want to put pressure on players before the game, giving players room to adjust their mental state."


    "Oh, anyway, this approach of Hall looks very effective. Look, Manchester United is here."


    Aldridge also ended the autograph for the fans on the sidelines. He turned around and Ferguson walked out of the player channel with the coaching staff.


    Lord Jue''s expression was dignified today. When he saw Aldridge, his expression eased a little, and it was estimated that he did not want to show his inner tension in front of his rival.


    Aldridge strode to Ferguson in large strides, and the other side stopped and waited when he walked to the sidelines.


    The two men were half a meter apart, and each held out their right hands to hold them. They lifted their chins slightly, and no one could lose their eyes.


    This scene is like the picture from the front page PS of the Times today.


    Since January, Aldridge and Ferguson have started a war of words. This season''s war has come to an end today.


    Fight for the dragon!


    Ferguson said firmly: "Manchester United is here to take away the league trophy."


    Aldridge glanced at the Premier League championship trophy on the player channel exit display and raised his eyebrows: "Stepping on Millwall''s body, you can take more than one championship trophy. However, today Millwall prepared Two red carpets, one is the Millwall team walking to win the cup, and the other is for the Manchester United players to stand on the ceremony, no need to thank."


    Ferguson took a deep look at Aldridge, let go, turned to the visiting coach''s seat, stood still, and stared sharply at the field.


    At the same time, Aldridge turned to the coach of the home team and stood still, holding his hands in his pockets with his head high, and he looked like a **** with a cold expression.

 Chapter 631： How to break?

    Millwall and Manchester United lined up to enter the field. Southgate and Keene led their respective teams as captains. Today is undoubtedly a big scene. The players on both sides hold their heads high and their eyes are bright, as if they are rational. Beast.


    "The 2000-2001 season finale of the English Premier League was the most eye-catching game at Millwall¡¯s home stadium Lion King Stadium. The defending champion Millwall played against Manchester United. The points of the two teams differ by one point. Manchester United only wins on the road. In order to win the championship trophy, Millwall will win the title evenly. This is the first season of Millwall moving into the new stadium. If you can win the championship trophy today, it will undoubtedly make all Millwall fans happy. And Manchester United can only win the league runner-up for four consecutive years. One of them was snatched by Arsenal. The remaining three times, they all succumbed to Millwall. From the serious expression of their players today with a fighting expression , They obviously do not want to be runner-up for five consecutive years!"


    "Martin, Ferguson did not make it clear, but from the perspective of Fleet Street, this game will determine Millwall and Manchester United, who is the king of England in the Premier League era, both teams have three Premier League championships, today, it is bound to There will be a team that will become the division of the four-time Premier League champions. Millwall is a rare defeat at home. If Manchester United can capture the Lion King Stadium, then although they have not won the league title in the past four years, they can still be considered It is the most successful team in the Premier League era, even if they spend three more seasons than Millwall."


    "Yeah, Millwall won three Premier League titles in the five seasons after the Premier League, and Manchester United used eight seasons to do this, but no matter who wins the cup today, it is undeniable that the Premier League nine In 2014, four champions were enough to be king."


    "Let¡¯s take a look at the starting list of both sides. Millwall, who is at home, has two absolute main forces who can¡¯t make it. Although the main goalkeeper Bout has resumed training, his status is not guaranteed. Paliuka, who joined the winter transfer, passed half a season Stable performance proves the success of this transfer. He will still help Millwall to defend the city gate today. Ronaldinho has been wounded for more than three weeks. He was not included in the game list today, but from outside sources See, he is likely to catch up with the Champions League final four days later, instead of starting with Klose.


    Millwall started 433.


    Goalkeeper: Palyuka.


    Guards: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.


    Midfielders: Gattuso, Pirlo, Nedved.


    Forwards: Larson, Klose, Henry.


    Manchester United''s lineup is relatively neat, still playing their traditional 442, but I don''t know how Beckham''s position in the game will change. When the two teams met in the first half of the league, Beckham was more in the backcourt. , Instigating Manchester United''s attack with a long pass.


    Manchester United started 442.


    Goalkeeper: Bartz.


    Guards: Neville, Stam, Brown, Sylvester.


    Midfielders: Beckham, Keane, Scholes, Giggs.


    Forwards: Solskjaer, Van Nistelrooy.


    Well, after the introduction of the starting lineup of the two sides, let us wait and see, what a wonderful game this league championship will belong to! "


    Manchester United kicked off in the first half.


    Solskjaer and Fanny stood at the kick-off point in the middle circle. The two looked at Millwall''s halftime. Although there are still familiar faces, Millwall now has no matter from the player, the spirit, the stadium, the fans, etc. Earthshaking changes have taken place in all other aspects.


    Solskjaer sent the ball to Fanny after the referee whistle, tossing out his distracted thoughts, and Huo Ran became very determined.


    A season of hard work has ushered in the final decisive battle today.


    Even though the baby face has a good personal relationship with Aldridge, there is indeed a certain obsession in his heart.


    At that time, Aldridge could not give him the main position, he left, and wanted to prove to the Aldrich on the field: You are wrong! Leave me and give me the main position, I can become the greatest forward of the crazy lion!


    But reality is always staged with black humor. No matter what the first generation of crazy lion''s front combination, Millwall, or the second generation of the dynasty''s front combination, player strength, game data, so Solskjaer can not match.


    Fanny''s heart is very similar to Solskjaer.


    Aldridge gave him up for Henry, and even couldn¡¯t even compare to Klose. Fannie didn¡¯t want to prove to Aldridge: I¡¯m better than any striker in your heart!


    This season, York is in a state of decline, and the off-court situation is constant. Fanny is in position. His journey at Manchester United has just begun, which makes him ambitious.


    From the first minute of the game, the two sides launched a fierce fight to try to disrupt the opponent''s ball control organization.


    Ferguson watched the game for five minutes on the sidelines and looked at Aldridge with fiery eyes.


    Millwall did play 433 today, but made a key change.


    Nedved retreated from the position, more actively participated in the defense, and strengthened the protection of the back line.


    The consequence of this change is that the frontcourt trident in Millwall''s offense is a solitary point, that is, the lack of offensive level, basically can only go one way to black.


    But in exchange for a more stable defense, the back line is more secure.


    Millwall won the title with a tie. Today''s fight is mainly defensive, nothing wrong.


    Ferguson could not blame Aldridge.


    Millwall is famous for his offense, but he hasn''t reached the point of not attacking or dying, and anyway, Aldridge looks very open, and he can work around in due time without harm.


    What''s more, there will be a Champions League final four days later!


    Mainly defensive, more or less reserved.


    Their Champions League opponent Bayern Munich is in the same position as Millwall in the league.


    You can win the championship as long as the league closes.


    The Bundesliga closes on the same day as the Premier League, but in order to ratings, the two sides staggered the game time, the Bundesliga proceeded first.


    Bayern Munich almost relived the nightmare of the 1999 Champions League final.


    Champion opponent Schalke 04 sits at home against Unterhaching. Schalke 04 must win to hope to win the championship. As a result, he fell behind by two goals at the beginning of the game, then tied the score, and then one goal behind the opponent, 70 minutes into the second half Started a massive counterattack, scored three goals in a row, and finally reversed the opponent with 5:3 to take all three points.


    Bayern Munich won the match evenly, but in the 89th minute of the game, they were scored by their opponents at Hamburg''s home court and the score fell behind. Bayern Munich''s suits on the bench almost collapsed!


    Schalke 04 boiled over, ready to celebrate winning the championship.


    At a critical moment, Kahn stood up and encouraged the team''s morale for the first time. Bayern Munich received a free kick in the penalty area in the last minute of stoppage time. The opponent''s goalkeeper committed a low-level error. Bayern Munich was given this opportunity.


    Effenberg called Anderson, and under the arrangement of Tiger, Anderson turned this last-minute opportunity into a goal. Bayern Munich equalized the score at the last moment. Beckenbauer danced like a child, and Heathfield was excited. The following also lost his gaze, only the fans of Schalke 04 cried.


    Bayern Munich won the championship, if Millwall could not win the Premier League title today, no matter from the momentum or psychological impact level, they will plant unfavorable seeds for the Champions League final four days later.


    In today''s game, players frequently fell on the court. It was not a fraud and a false fall, but the two sides seemed to have lost their eyes from the opening.


    Beckham really went to the right midfielder as soon as he opened today. Unfortunately, Millwall withdrew the Nedved position. Beckham either simply went back to help Neville, or he could only go up and play his good wing forward, otherwise Let him move freely in the midfield, but he is not comfortable, and the organization is not his strengths.


    In the 11th minute, Giggs hung into the penalty area with a side pass. Fanny was hiding behind Materazzi like a ghost. Just after Giggs'' ball came out, he suddenly went out and ran to the center of the goal, but He had just prepared to grab the spot, but found that Southgate took the lead. Fanny didn''t even jump, and watched Southgate header.


    Others may have just gone, and with Fannie, Millwall''s guard is very familiar with his characteristics.


    Turning his head away, Larson ran fast on the right, as if he was unmanned. As long as Giggs attacked close to the bottom line of Millwall''s sideline, once Millwall counterattacked, he returned to defend. It doesn''t help, because Millwall is good at hitting speed characteristics when advancing.


    Larsson started from the center line, and drew the ball forward along the sideline after receiving the ball. Sylvester predicted a mistake. He thought Larsson would go inside and in the end, Larss faked in front of him. After he moved his center of gravity, he broke through from the outside, and then used Sylvester to block the tempo change and then reversed the ball back to the outside to pull out the empty. After seeing Brown moving over to make up the pass, the ball was passed to the gram. At the foot of Luo Ze.


    Klose had Keane behind him, Stam in front, and Neville was at his side with Henry. He neither dared to stop the ball nor dared to pass the ball. He simply shot directly.


    This is the first time the carpenter has experienced such a major scene. It is inevitable that he will be a little nervous. This shot will be out of standard, and he flew into the stands. The distance above the beam is really ridiculous.


    After shooting the ball, Klose saw that he was ugly, scratched his head fiercely, and then turned and ran back. Now, instead of harassing Keen, he replaced him.


    There was enthusiastic applause at the Lion King Stadium. The crazy lion fans did not mind Klozer''s outrageous shot, but cheered him with applause.


    Ferguson had expected that this game would be very difficult. Millwall would fight Manchester United''s counterattack, which was also psychologically prepared. However, from the beginning of the game, he found that the difficulty of the game was far beyond the limit he could imagine.


    He and Aldridge are deadly rivals, that is caused by competition, but from a work point of view, Ferguson admires Aldridge, this is Aldridge won with work attitude and quality, every time he played against Millwall, Milwa Neither will allow opponents to produce absolutely unexpected effects.


    This must be what Aldridge did when preparing for the war.


    Today, Millwall''s offensive routine looks very simple, but Millwall''s defense has changed from before, and has been targeted according to the characteristics of Manchester United players.


    Giggs is good at attacking, the side of the back line is denser, and the distance of the defensive players is kept very tight. Giggs can suddenly attack one person, and absolutely cannot pass the second person.


    The defense on the other side has a little more space. This is to maintain the overall formation density and limit the changes that must be made on the side of Giggs. Otherwise, the rib empty space in the penalty area will be very obvious. An attacking midfielder that is good at forward insertion.


    Even if Beckham came up with an assist, he relied on a pass. Millwall could not prevent Beckham from passing, nor could Giggs pass. There was no fixed area in the pass. Will expose more emptiness.


    Therefore, Millwall has strengthened the control of the landing point in the penalty area. As long as you pass the ball, you can''t grab it, how many threats are there in the pass?


    Solskjaer is not a player of the type that grabs the ball, and Fanny packs a good hand, but in front of Southgate and Materazzi, it is extremely uncomfortable on the field. It is Southgate who is staring at Fannie''s position, and letting Nedved retreat is to add a layer of protection when defending, to avoid the situation where the mark is missed and the ball is missed.


    The game only took 15 minutes, and Ferguson began to rack his brain to think about countermeasures.


    How to break the defensive tactics that Millwall carefully set today?

 Chapter 632： Fooled again!

    Came to Millwall to compete with Manchester United teams. Manchester United will break Millwall''s orderly and dense defense. Even if the number of offenses and defenses is balanced, the probability of hitting will not exceed 30%, especially the player''s personal ability. When it came to making an essay, Manchester United''s players on their own, I am afraid that only Giggs was alone.


    After Giggs got the ball on the left, the more he moved forward, the more he fell into a single choice.


    He took the ball to the side, close to the Millwall penalty area, and wanted to find a middle link to cooperate. Even though Pirlo had a one-on-one defensive ability, but he had a high ball quotient, he stood still and blocked the Giggs pass. The effect of cutting Manchester United¡¯s offensive formation was achieved. Giggs couldn¡¯t get in touch with the middle, and the back defender didn¡¯t dare to press up to assist. The only option left for Giggs was to break through. Schneider and Giggs also competed. For a few years, it is very interesting now that one-on-one contest has a certain defensive success rate. Even if he is broken, he will turn around to make up for the first time, and then Giggs will fall into the continuous interception of his teammates, and the position of the teammates , Schneider quickly made up.


    Even if Scholes leaned against Giggs, he could only move around, and then the attack went back one step.


    Aldridge made gestures to the players from time to time on the sidelines to make the players notice Manchester United''s offense.


    Millwall''s offense played relatively monotonously. Larson or Henry used their personal abilities to tear the Manchester United defense on the sidelines, but did not create a good chance in the final blow.


    Aldridge was calm.


    It was expected that Manchester United''s two full-backs did not dare to attack. Henry and Larson could have suppressed each other one-on-one. If the full-backs were out of position, then Henry and Larson faced the defenders directly. Manchester United''s The city gate is in danger.


    He cares more about another man on Manchester United''s court, Captain Keane, a midfielder with both offense and defense.


    As long as he moves, Klose will be completely released, even if the offensive line is 3 to 4, the success rate is still considerable.


    Beckham kicked back to the position of the wing forward, otherwise, Manchester United really could not create any chance.


    Manchester United flies on both wings, almost all of the penetration ball was blocked, and occasionally a good cross was also steadily resolved by Millwall''s back line.


    Manchester United seemed to kick an iron plate, unable to shake Millwall''s defense.


    "Paljuka hit the ball with a single punch, Pirlo controlled the landing, he passed the ball to Nedved, the Czech strode the ball forward, and passed the half without a hindrance, Scholes returned It seemed that he was going to foul after catching up, Nedvide preemptively passed the ball to Henry, Henry! Beautifully used the stop rhythm to pause and then started to negate Neville. Long shot before the penalty area! Unfortunately, the ball was a bit positive , Bartz stands on the spot and holds the ball in his arms."


    After Ferguson thought for a long time, he still had no clue. Millwall really had a defensive counterattack. Manchester United did not create any decent opportunities on the offensive end. If the passing ball can penetrate Millwall''s defense, the Red Devils would have been killed. Crazy lion.


    Ferguson was still hesitating to fight early, but Aldridge couldn''t wait.


    Keane hasn''t pushed up to support the offense, Klose has been frozen at this point, so he can''t play the offensive change, and he has burst his opponents side by side, which is a bit underestimated Manchester United.


    To allow the offensive to change, first of all, there must be room for Klose to be stuck at the forefront.


    Aldridge pointed to Klose, and then made a gesture of retracting, Klose took the initiative to retreat after seeing it, so that he could take the ball and deal with it.


    Klose retreated, and Keane followed him to the top, so that his position was forward and he could support the offense as much as he could. At the same time, defense also restricted Klose from playing.


    Seeing Keane move forward with Klose''s position, Aldridge couldn''t help showing a smirk.


    This iron-blooded warrior can''t stop it!


    Keane was really anxious to watch the weak offensive offense in the frontcourt, playing Millwall, the point-to-point offensive offense had no effect at all, this point Keen knew well, to make the offense change, in addition to the player''s personal ability, It is necessary to rely on the offensive point inserted later to disrupt the opponent''s strict marking arrangement.


    Keane didn¡¯t dare to give Klose the space to get the ball in front of the penalty area, so he could only follow him, limiting the interconnection between the Millwall Trident, which resulted in an unpredictable small range of cross-cutting cooperation. However, in turn, to suppress Klose, Keane''s offensive support for Manchester United has also been relatively weakened.


    Okay now, Klose''s position is retreating, Keane still keeps up. He doesn''t need to stick to Klose like a dog skin plaster. When Manchester United is attacking, he can go up and support him sparingly. The starting position between Luoze is not too far away. He is convinced that according to his ability, it is no problem to follow the other party. Besides, when Manchester United attacks, Klose has to withdraw the harassment task.


    Ferguson has not yet thought of a proper response strategy, but seeing the situation on the field, at first glance, the law is quite unsettled, Keane''s activities should be normal, at least not to allow Klose in the midfield to the front waist area It''s a regular choice to get the ball easily, it''s reasonable.


    But Ferguson had an ominous hunch in his heart. From a global perspective, Manchester United passively followed Millwall''s personnel adjustments and changed, which was equivalent to being led by the opponent.


    In the 41st minute of the game, Scholes stopped in front of Pirlo, but he didn''t dare to take the ball forward, but pulled out freely. In the blink of an eye, he had an insight into the situation and Millwall''s defensive player took him All shots were blocked, Beckham, Giggs, double forwards, these four points could not find a gap in the defense net intertwined by Millwall''s six, Scholes will either pass back to the base Well, either continue to dribble the ball yourself, going forward, you will hit the steel warrior Nedved.


    In desperation, Scholes forcibly kicked the long shot, hoping that this long shot could bring a goal.


    This is a game that wins the championship as long as it wins. The first goal is very important. As long as Manchester United scores the first goal, the situation of the game will be completely reversed!


    "Scholes had a long shot and the angle was good, but he hadn''t been tricky to the extreme. Palyuka was fully prepared and flew to the right. He took off the ball steadily with both hands. Wow, this save is wonderful because he is not just The shot was blocked, and it was completely embraced with both hands!"


    Palyuka''s talent must be above Bout, but Palyuka has passed the peak, but the state has not plummeted, and is still stable at the level of the quasi-first-class goalkeeper. Scholes''s strong and good-angle long shot , Change the second-rate goalkeeper is estimated to be hanging, either rush to save the ball to the opponent''s second attack opportunity, or panic first choice made a mistake, and Palyuka, can be scored into a tricky long shot, but In the state of being fully calm, this ball can''t penetrate his ten fingers, but he has basically trained the goalkeeper to the ultimate good goalkeeper.


    After the success of the rescue, Palyuka quickly stood up and instantly turned into a vanguard general who charged forward and rushed forward holding the ball.


    His shock scared Manchester United.


    This old guy clearly wants to launch a hand throw to break the ball!


    Manchester United''s offensive player ran backwards reflexively, but Palyuka stopped at the line of the penalty area, then turned to the right, bent down to throw the ball, the ball rolled on the turf to Schneider''s feet.


    It was because of Paluchka''s forward rush that led Manchester United''s offensive players to retreat, but instead gave Millwall a loose line to take the ball.


    Schneider stopped the ball, adjusted, and looked ahead.


    Manchester United''s offensive player withdrew, but had not yet reached the half. Klose beckoned for the ball just after the middle circle. Keane had already stood behind Klose. At this point, he was blocked!


    Schneider kicked a long pass from the foot and kicked it from underneath. Keane suddenly became alert after seeing the trajectory of the ball flying, turned his head and looked, his face changed a lot!


    Fooled again!


    He pushed out with Klose, yes, it did limit Klose.


    However, there is a large area in the back waist area of ??Manchester United.


    In itself, there belongs to the battlefield of Klose and Keane. Henry and Larson are on the sidelines. Their intuitive threat is to enter the restricted area from the sidelines.


    However, Schneider''s long pass, playing in the vacuum zone of the three meters in front of the Manchester United defender line.


    What about Henry and Larson?


    They gave up the sidewalk and came to this area at the same time!


    Keane suddenly realized at this point that it was not him who came to restrict Klose, but Klose took the initiative to take him out and seduce him to be fooled!


    Schneider''s long pass didn''t find Henry, because the distance was farther, he looked for Larson, which was relatively close.


    Larsson was one step faster than Silvester and Brown. He jumped high when he grabbed the point and directly headed the ball to ferry Henry to the left of the parallel position.


    When Aldridge saw Larson''s header ferry accurately deliver the ball to Henry, his eyes became fanatical, and his fists gradually tightened.


    The offensive space created by the sacrifice of Klose is your battlefield!


    Impromptu!


    Henry stopped the ball, only two steps after the speed rushed, and came to the front of the big penalty line. His combination of ball and man is very different from Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho''s escape from the spot is a change after deceiving the opponent''s center of gravity. to.


    Henry, either relying on man-ball combined with speed to eat opponents, or relying on the change of ball control rhythm, his dribbling is rarely fancy, at least, Aldridge has never seen him step on a bicycle.


    Henry brought the ball to Stam and Neville, took a step to the right, and then kicked back to the left. After two swings of the center of gravity of Stam and Neville, they couldn''t help but posted and forced to grab. At the same time, Brown and Sylvie Stern also retracted inward and came to surround Henry.


    Henry made a third lateral change of direction.


    On the right and left, there are three rapid and non-stop rhythm changes. There is no fancy visual sense, but the center of gravity of the Manchester United defender is tilted in different degrees, the steps are messy, and the formation is also loose.


    When Brown intercepted the ball, Henry stopped and kicked the ball diagonally from the outside of his foot.


    The ball crossed diagonally from the middle of Brown and Stam. At the same time, Larson returned from the space between Brown and Sylvester, and passed for a moment. Larson and Sylvester were parallel, even Slightly behind by a half position, but because Larson was running diagonally, Sylvester chased again and the distance was farther.


    At this time, there is only one way to stop Larson.


    That is a foul!


    But the location will be in the restricted area!


    Stam, Brown, and Neville turned their heads to look at the direction of Henry''s ball, and it was Larson who had caught up with the ball. He kept hitting the ball and rubbed directly with the outside of his right foot!


    This ball is extremely difficult. The ball shot from the outside of the outer foot hits the upper left corner of the goal. Butts abandoned the goal and just turned and looked at the goal after just two steps. The ball turned halfway along the goal net The circle only fell to the ground, and it still twirled strongly when it fell on the turf.


    After Larson scored a goal, Henry beckoned and ran towards the sidelines to celebrate.

 Chapter 633： Willow

    "The ball is in! The ball is in! The stands at the Lion King Stadium are like a flash flood. When Larson ran to the sidelines, the fans in the nearby stands scrambled down. The 7-year veteran of the team is about to At the age of 30, he has scored more than 200 goals for various events in Millwall! Each goal is breaking the record of team history! No crazy lion fans don¡¯t love him. Since the Premier League era, every year a crazy lion When the fans selected the best signings in the history of the team, Larson was firmly in the top three, Nedved, Southgate, and Larson, this is the main hero of Millwall''s rise in 1994. In the key battle, scored a key goal, the goal is Larson, are we surprised? No, no surprise! He will thank Henry for this goal, this is Henry¡¯s third year in Millwall If Henry is given another four years, he definitely has a chance to impact Larson¡¯s goal record, but according to Larson¡¯s current state, after four years, he will definitely score his total goal in Millwall The number has been raised to a level beyond reach of future generations!"


    Not only has Larson left his name in Millwall¡¯s history, but he has also become a figure in the history of the Premier League!


    When Larson ran to the sidelines, Villa rushed out of the bench and threw a Millwall jersey to Henry. Henry then took it and went to Larson in front of him, picked up the jersey and showed it to the opening stage. The number behind the jersey: 182.


    Larson took the jersey in Henry''s hands, kissed it, and then threw it into the stands, causing the fans to rob, and the fans who grabbed the hand put the jersey on his stomach and bent down to fear that others would **** it.


    The players on the Millwall bench and the coaching staff all walked to the sidelines, smiling together with Aldridge and applauding Larson.


    "This is Larson''s 182nd Premier League goal! He surpassed Hiller and became the first person in the Premier League total scorer list! Seeing this number, we know Larson''s contribution to Millwall, 6 years Premier League, with an average of 30 goals per season, reducing his missed games due to injury, his average scoring rate is close to 1 goal! To be able to do this, he cannot do without his good professional qualities, never off the court Right and wrong, everything is in football, Larson, the great shooter of Millwall, the great shooter in the history of the Premier League, he is not only a role model for Millwall players, but also an object for other players to learn! Tribute to Larson!"


    After throwing the jersey to the stands, Larson jogged to the coach seat, celebrated with the players high-five, hugged with every coaching staff member, and hugged with Aldridge, Larson said in his ear: "Boss, today we will win the championship. After next year''s World Cup, I will retire from the national team. Then, playing for Millwall for a few more years, I want to finish my career here."


    Aldrich knows that Larson¡¯s idea of ??withdrawing from the national team is not one day or two. In this matter, he has also communicated with his agent Andrew. Andrew¡¯s suggestion is that it is best not to withdraw from the national team, but Larson this year Autumn will be 30 years old, the national team is on the battlefield, and his body can''t bear the load as before. The club and the national team cannot coexist, but the burden is too large to allow him to do his best for the club. Service.


    "I don''t mention this in advance, we will talk about it slowly in the future, and in turn, I should say thank you to you, how many years are there in seven years? How many more years do players have in their careers? Henrik? , Here is always your home."


    After Aldridge finished speaking, Larson smiled at him without saying anything.


    For players like Larson, Aldridge has no requirements on him. The other party is self-disciplined and maintains ambition. At the same time, he is also a family in the eyes of the fans of the Millwall club. Even if he is about to be 30 years old, everyone hopes I can watch him here until he is 100 years old!


    This series of Millwall celebrations consumes more time than usual. Manchester United players are urging the referee. The referee also reminded Millwall to pay attention to the time and resume the game for a long time.


    Manchester United players set up their formations early to wait for the kick-off, watching Millwall players cheer and celebrate. The final battle of the league, the final result has not yet been announced, but Manchester United players are already depressed: when the background has been brushed with data!


    Needless to say, no matter what the outcome of this game, the news that Larson became the first person in the Premier League''s top scorer list will be overwhelmingly spread throughout UEFA tomorrow, and Manchester United will be the green leaf.


    And it''s really dramatic to look through history.


    Wasn¡¯t Larson¡¯s first Premier League goal scored in the 5:5 shocking battle at Old Trafford?


    Spreading six years, Larson completed the ceremony of ascending the Premier League king of archers on the same opponent!


    Ferguson glanced at Larson on the sidelines, and then looked away. Manchester United had hoped to get Larson. In the first season of Millwall''s promotion, it was a pity that summer. , You have to pay a high transfer fee, in order to continue to observe Larson¡¯s performance in adapting to the Premier League, Ferguson did not gamble, but this observation will always pass by Larson, because Millwall Premier League He got the runner-up in the first season.


    Sorry?


    Regrets in the second year meeting, regrets in the third year meeting, and has been numb since the fourth year.


    Millwall''s goal made Ferguson''s expression gloomy and scary. In this close to half-time game, Aldridge''s idea is playing. He can completely understand.


    Don''t fight hard with Manchester United!


    Just grab Manchester United''s counterattack!


    The ball lost and I couldn¡¯t blame Manchester United defender¡¯s ability to defend 4 and 2. However, at that moment, Manchester United¡¯s back line was lined up. Henry¡¯s performance made the guards¡¯ mental pressure increase sharply, and then attracted firepower to pull out. Neutral, directly penetrate the defense line.


    This style of play, changing any top line of defense to line up four people to defend, will basically be exploded. The first time there is no leveled front and back defense, what is the use of more people? The fleeting opportunity was captured by Millwall in this way. Ferguson was not reconciled, but could only accept reality.


    The first half is coming to an end. Ferguson can hardly expect his disciples to score goals in just a few minutes. The 99-year miracle performance cannot be repeated.


    "The referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half. The score was 1:0. Millwall led Manchester United by one goal at home. Manchester United is more active from the scene today, but did not create too many opportunities in the shooting link. However, Millwall counterattacked calmly, and it was normal to play, giving people the feeling that they did not explode completely in the attack, but they were able to break through the opponent''s door first, and created more shooting opportunities than Manchester United. This is Manchester United points The disadvantage brought by backwardness, they had to attack, Millwall seems to take the advantage, but it is not true, you know, fate is actually in the hands of the two teams, the league 38 rounds, excluding the 36 rounds of the two teams that do not meet, If in the first half at Old Trafford, Manchester United could defeat Millwall, who was the lack of a major general, and the main goalkeeper Bout was injured and left the field, then today at the Lion King Stadium, it will become Millwall. Fighting against the water, in other words, Manchester United did not beat Millwall in the league, and they were not qualified to win the league title! During the intermission, Sir Ferguson had to think about the countermeasures, otherwise, he could only watch Millwall become his mouth. The boss of England."


    Manchester United made a repressive tactical adjustment in the second half of the visiting team¡¯s locker room. Millwall¡¯s locker room atmosphere was also suppressed. Everyone was excited, but they could not over-reveal in advance. In 45 minutes, they will once again win the league championship trophy. These 45 minutes , Can not fall off the chain.


    Aldridge also made some tactical adjustments for the first half.


    When the two teams walked out of the locker room to prepare for the second half of the game, Aldridge looked at Ferguson with a serious expression, looking forward to the opponents to bring more changes to the game.


    The situation of the two of them has been reversed bit by bit in the six years here. At first, Aldridge was Ferguson¡¯s troublemaker. Now, it is Ferguson¡¯s turn to cause Aldrich trouble.


    As soon as the second half came up, Manchester United adjusted the defender line. After Stam dragged it, the defender line became a 1 + 3 defensive strategy. Originally, Millwall had fewer players on the offensive end in the first half. If Manchester United defender line 1 like the first half Lined up, the probability of being penetrated is too high, especially when Larson is close to Henry.


    The offensive end of Manchester United has also changed.


    Beckham and Giggs'' passing ball is no longer directly looking for the striker''s head to form a direct attack opportunity. The choice of the landing point of the two people''s starting pass is that the rib between the central defender and the full-back is empty.


    Solskjaer, Scholes, and the two frequently spent free time in the ribs. As long as they can grab the landing point, they swept the door in the first time, using the rhythm changes to form a threat to the goal. To put it bluntly, it is to create Defensive chaos in the penalty area broke the goal.


    In the 48th minute, Giggs picked up a pass and the ball crossed Schneider''s head. Scholes crossed the ribs freely. Materazzi moved with his hands to defend Scholes, but the latter Unreasonably, it seems that he turned his eyes closed and pulled the ball towards the goal. The ball wore Materazzi''s gear and also touched his leg. After forming a refraction, he flew to the goal point, Fanny first At the point of time, Southgate was screaming. He really failed to follow Fanny. After all, the course of this ball was very unexpected. The response ability when the accident happened, Fanny is obviously faster than Southgate.


    But just when Fanny was about to poke the ball with a toe to the goal corner, Fanny''s foot hit the ball and hit an iron plate, he fell to the edge of the goal post, and the ball was firmly slammed by Palyuka Embraced in the arms.


    "Manchester United almost broke! Fortunately, Palyuka rushed out in two steps to save the ball and hug the ball. This time, the chaos in front of the Millwall goal made the crazy lion fans pinch the sweat. Manchester United seems to be intending to attack like this of."


    "It must be the case. A minute ago, Beckham was doing the ball to Solskjaer on the right, but Solskjaer took a step and then was forced out of the bottom line, this time it was Skol The cross from the left side of the penalty area was still effective, but it failed to form an effective shot. This kind of play is very suitable for Fanny''s characteristics. He has scored many goals for Manchester United in the last half season. The threat is high in the small penalty area, and the more this chaos, the more he can find opportunities to break the door."


    Ferguson saw Fanny failed to finish the shot and closed his eyes in disappointment and shook his head.


    Aldridge¡¯s expression was unsettled. Fanny¡¯s threat in the chaos in the penalty area was indeed high, but perhaps it was a game against his opponent. Derich did a comparison. Mo said that Bibout is higher than the Premier League, and the success rate is higher than most of the main goalkeepers in Europe.


    Ferguson''s adjustment should have been able to play a strange effect, but unfortunately, the substitute goalkeeper introduced by Millwall, the biggest advantage is precisely to restrain the other side offensive!


    Manchester United is more aggressive in its posture, turning its head away, it is time to try Millwall''s half-adjusted move!

 Chapter 634： Who is the boss?

    The second half was only just beginning. In the stands of the Lion King Stadium, wearing red jerseys, many fans who clearly belonged to the Manchester United camp had already faced sadness.


    Some people shook their heads with their hands behind their heads, and some people sighed, even though they sang loudly to support Manchester United fans, their faces looked slightly depressed.


    This crazy lion cannot be defeated at all!


    Before the game starts, Manchester United only needs to win a goal to win the championship.


    Now, at least two goals must be scored.


    The goal, for today''s Manchester United, looks like a luxury in the eyes of civilians, which is beyond expectation.


    Manchester United is obviously more active than Millwall running, but Millwall seems to have not tried his best to rewrite the score. This kind of blow is obviously heavy.


    It has been four years since the farewell championship, and it is now the fifth year.


    What''s the problem?


    Player?


    Manchester United 92 golden generation plus Stam, Keen these famous players, how much worse is the lineup than Millwall?


    Coach?


    Even if Manchester United fired Ferguson, who would it be? The young man opposite, but swept across Europe!


    Manchester United players gritted their teeth on the court, and Ferguson''s tactical adjustments made in the second half seemed to have some effect.


    At least, it''s much better than the midfield penetration in the first half, and the side pass was released by the opponent. The scene was hard to find even a shot opportunity.


    Once there is chaos in the restricted area, although there is suspicion of luck, but without luck, it can only be turned in.


    The Manchester United team is firmly implementing Ferguson''s tactical adjustments, hoping that the team can bravely score goals quickly.


    However, things on the football field will not be carried out according to the wishes of one side. Especially when you have no absolute dominance in the game, Manchester United is more passive today, forced by the situation and must attack, the backcourt space is relatively large, which is strong It is very dangerous in the dialogue.


    In the first half, Millwall invested little offensive force, and in the second half, he made changes.


    Pirlo and Nedved, the two alternately stepped forward, Scholes and Keane are in front and back positions, Keene also has to follow Klose, especially the goal drop in the first half forced Keane to maintain the back line The distance, Scholes is extremely difficult to cover the entire central area of ??the stadium.


    Nedved and Pirlo, who rushes forward?


    Manchester United did not expect that Millwall itself has no fixed routines. Whoever has a good opportunity and who has a lot of space in front of him will go!


    In the 56th minute of the game, Pirlo handed the ball to Nedved after organizing the ball. Scholes chased after a long distance, which took a lot of time.


    Nedv¨§d drove the ball all the way, and after the midfield, the ball was short-passed to Klose who retreated, and the latter passed to Henry.


    Henry moved the ball horizontally, seemingly to reapply the trick, forcing Neville to immediately come to block the inside line, but Henry forcibly started the bottom. After the ball came to the bottom line, he knocked back to the top of the penalty area. The first point followed up Nedved greeted with a volley.


    Bartz bravely flew to save the powerful shot, and a huge sigh rang from the stands.


    When Henry went down, he took Manchester United''s defender line backwards. When Nedvide followed the long shot, Keane also rushed towards him. At this time, in the area of ??the big penalty area, Manchester United''s defense appeared a vacuum, and When Bartez blocked the ball, the ball''s landing point was here. After Klozer stopped the ball on the chest, it was a long shot without waiting for the ball to land. The ball hit Brown and refracted. Neville was caught by surprise. After the refraction of the ball hit, his thigh blocked the ball, and the ball fell to him a meter away from his body.


    In the limelight, the fans watched this attack launched by Pomil Wall breathlessly.


    Neville immediately took a step up to make a clearance, but he just took a step, someone was the first to face the ball and hit the door with a heavy shot.


    Henry!


    Thanks Neville for helping him stop the ball!


    The distance is about 10 yards from the goal. Although it is not directly facing the goal, the angle of the diagonal is enough for Henry to be confident to send the ball into the net. Bartez just got up and saw a ghost passing in front of him. The next second, the lion Cheers broke out at the King Stadium, watching the blue ocean of Taishan as boiling water.


    "Millwall is going to the next city! Hahaha, Man Lenovo created chaos in Millwall''s penalty area. As a result, their own chaos in the penalty area allowed the opponent to seize the opportunity. Nedvide shot and Bartez blocked beautifully. Klose shot again, the angle was too positive, but he had a strong shot, hit Stam and refracted it, then Neville blocked it and happened to give Henry an assist! Henry shot this shot, it is estimated to change No one can stop it. Manchester United is getting farther away from the league champions. Now, with more than half an hour left, they must score at least three goals before they can take away the championship trophy at the Lion King Stadium! "


    Henry''s goal completely brought the passion of the Lion King Stadium to its climax!


    One goal lead, Manchester United scored two goals here, everyone will not find it difficult to do.


    But two goals lead, Manchester United have to score three, so few people will believe that Manchester United can do it!


    The fans in the stands danced up and down, shouting Millwall''s name, Henry''s name.


    On the sidelines, Millwall''s coaching staff and substitute players also rushed out to celebrate.


    Aldrich''s expression was incomprehensible, with wildness in twisting, mixed with excitement, he jumped twice in the same place, his right hand extended his index finger and kept pointing at the place where the foot was stepped on.


    "This is the Lion King Stadium! It is our crazy lion''s territory! Since the Premier League championship trophy is here, he will not let anyone take it away!"


    Aldridge growled savagely, and then waved his arms constantly, indicating that the cheering of the court was louder and louder!


    He turned his head and shouted towards the stands: "Let the **** Manchester United know who the **** is the boss of England!"


    The fans in the stands were very cooperative, and the cheering wave was higher than the wave. Even if Manchester United was going to kick off, the whole stadium seemed to be in a riot!


    "Manchester United! Who is the boss of England?"


    "Manchester United! Who is the boss of England?"


    All the crazy lion fans repeated the same sentence without forgetting and tirelessly. The loudness seemed to be a **** who came to the sky above the stadium and issued a majestic question!


    Manchester United is known as the Red Devils, and has always been said to be magical, but the mad lion also has its own wildness.


    At the moment when passion broke out, no matter the players on the court, the coaches on the sidelines, even the fans in the stands, burst out a primitive wildness similar to the beast!


    Ferguson, with a shocking question from the audience, tried to cheer up the disciples on the sidelines. The game was not over, and there were more than half an hour. In the football game, everything was possible.


    The most important thing is whether you have the determination to create a miracle!


    But the Manchester United players were obviously distracted by the momentum of the stadium. Like Fannie, he kept his head down and didn¡¯t know what he was thinking. After all, he hadn¡¯t experienced so many key games. He played in Millwall. He came to Manchester United as a substitute. He is the first time he has experienced such an important "final".


    Keane stood up to inspire the morale of the team, the effect is not easy to say, but Manchester United players still raised their heads to face the rest of the game.


    Three minutes after Manchester United reopened, the momentum on the court fell back slightly, but at this time, the fans were still cheering for the team.


    Aldridge loosened his tie, his expression slightly converging, and there was a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth.


    I''m afraid Manchester United haven''t realized where their second defensive key problem lies.


    Beckham hit the midfielder. The last time he played, it did cause trouble to Millwall, and at that time, Millwall and Ronaldinho played.


    Before today''s game, Aldridge no matter whether he guessed right or not, he prepared Manchester United to let Beckham continue to play the lower back, reduce the pressure of Keane, and strengthen the protection of the back line.


    In the first half, the trident went all the way to black. One goal was to force Beckham to kick back to the wing, otherwise? Millwall pays more attention to defense. What''s the use of Beckham''s long pass? Manchester United have 5 defenses and 3 backcourts, and they have to add a Beckham, do you want to attack?


    Waiting for Beckham to go up to the second half, he lost his vigilance in the position he was used to.


    At this time, Nedvide or Pirlo stepped forward and restored the impact and advantage of playing Manchester United.


    Manchester United are two goals behind and have to chase three goals to win the championship. There is nothing to worry about at the moment. The fight on the court is a momentum that suppresses Millwall. No matter what tactics, he will continue to play Dingling. Into three, that is definitely a miracle.


    And this miracle requires them to invest more and more offensive force!


    The full-backs were crazy assisted, and Keane couldn''t care whether he could limit Klose. Manchester United soldiers were in pressure. As long as they crushed Millwall, there is still hope for winning the championship. As for how to do it, what can be done ? Anyway, two goals behind is "five lianya"!


    Manchester United''s ball is extremely fast, trying to push the rhythm to the limit, but the offensive means is still a few things. In the dense defense of Millwall, you want to play a subtle cooperation. Either pass the ball or get it, or Millwall. There was a serious leak in the defense line.


    As it happens, in Aldrich¡¯s years of training on the defensive line, team defense is based on the cooperation between the brain and teammates, rather than relying on one-on-one. Therefore, Millwall¡¯s pure defensive players are transferred to the European market. None of the top ten in the value evaluation, but combined together, played very stable in Millwall. The league, the Champions League, as long as it is the main force, the number of defensive goals lost to the top three European top five, but the top six to In the top ten, they are definitely there, and they are again the most terrifying offensive firepower. Together, the two are not known for defense, but they have the defensive strength to support the offensive line and ensure the record.


    In the 65th minute, Neville assisted with Beckham two. After the bottom, Beckham still passed, and was headered by Materazzi at the later point. Pirlo controlled the landing point in the periphery and saw Scole. Here comes the rush, Pirlo waits for the opponent to pull the ball and turn around at the moment, Scholes grabs again, Pirlo''s ball has already passed forward!


    Keane is running back. He is a little far away from Klose. He did not expect Scholes to delay Pirlo. Instead, he let Pirlo pass the ball well. This ball is not Straight, the ball was passed to Klose from a distance, and Klose was given a certain amount of advance.


    This foot ball can''t form an assist, but it has a wonderful meaning. Let Millwall''s fast attack not only passed halftime in less than 3 seconds, but two seconds later, Klose slid right. Larson has already caught the ball at the edge of Manchester United''s penalty area.


    Counting Pirlo stopping the ball, pulling the ball and turning for 2 seconds, a total of 7 seconds, the backcourt to the frontcourt, the crazy lion soldiers came to the city!


    Larson stopped the ball and looked at the situation inside the penalty area and chose to make a cross.


    Henry initially went straight to the middle, but when Stam went to defend Larson, and Brown thought he caught Henry and looked towards Larson, Henry moved sneakily to the left.


    Henry was a little uncomfortable when Larsson''s cross came over. The speed of the ball was fast. He had only two options, either to use his head to get the ball, but the header was not his strength.


    So he chose to use his feet.


    But at that height, it was impossible to shoot a volley shot unless he took two steps back, but it was too late!


    Henry half-turned decisively, turned his back to the goal, jumped in place, and made a move that made everyone on the stadium, whether the Red Devils or the crazy lion fans stunned.


    Upside down gold hook!

 Chapter 635： Crowned the King of the Premier League!

    Henry''s body emptied, his head and feet!


    When Brown turned his head to look around, the whole person was so dumb as if he had seen a ghost!


    Henry''s straight feet hit the right time to kick the passing ball, and the shooting action could not be perfect!


    boom!


    The ball is hanging like a pop in the corner of the goal. Perhaps this is not the shooting trajectory that Henry can control, but the ball is flying into the Manchester United door with the power of breaking through everything!


    "Has anyone blinked? Is there? If so, then you will regret it! Henry stunned the four-barb shot and slammed into Millwall''s third goal! This is definitely a goal that can be loaded into the history of the Premier League! Millwall launched a fast break in the backcourt, Pirlo passed to Klose, Klose passed the ball to Larson, Larson passed, this series of fast passes without any trace of muddy water, so fast that even your sight Can''t keep up with the speed of the ball''s movement, and Henry, shot the ball with a perfect upside down golden hook, what can be more amazing than such a goal? Can you witness such a great progress on the scene? The ball is born, and the tickets for Lion King Stadium today are simply great value!"


    Larson topped the Premier League total scorer list in this decisive battle. Henry was unwilling to be lonely and scored twice to score a goal!


    When Henry got up from the ground, he closed his eyes and ran towards the side of the court with reluctance. He put his hands next to his ears to listen to the cheers, and finally came to the side of the court in a smooth slide way, spread his arms and looked up to the sky.


    The fans in the nearby stands were completely crazy. In the deafening cheers, some fans couldn''t contain their excitement. They crossed the stands and rushed to Henry. Two or three big fat security guards were brought directly to the ground by the fans who were washed down. Rolled on the ground.


    Henry was surrounded by a group of male fans. Poorly, those big masters, regardless of three, seventy-one and twenty-one, hugged his head was a kiss. The live camera even photographed someone kissing Henry mouth to mouth.


    This is definitely a scene that Aldridge does not want to see.


    God!


    Men kiss men, or mouth!


    Henry looked dumbfounded in the eyes of everyone.


    How fast is this "heaven" to "hell"?


    Anyway, surrounded by a group of men kissing, Henry now has a tendency to collapse.


    Nightmare!


    Aldridge''s expression is even more exciting.


    He saw Henry breaking the door upside down with a golden hook, holding his head and widening his eyes to express incredible, and then his arms were kept shaking and waving.


    But when Henry was surrounded and looked from afar, he knew that the fans were bowing their heads to kiss Henry.


    Aldridge was surprised with his mouth wide open, er, there was a little panic in his eyes.


    He put his hands down, and the man squatted down, covered his mouth with his hands, and said to himself vaguely: "Do you love him or defile him?"


    After the reaction came, Aldridge immediately turned back and shouted to people: "Grass! Hurry up and pass the security guard to rescue Thierry!"


    In case it really becomes a psychological shadow, what is this called!


    Millwall''s backup players all stood up and talked about Henry''s goal, and some people laughed with their mouths covered.


    The coaching staff became as nervous as Aldridge, and one of the management players was mental health.


    Surrounded and kissed by a group of men, if the heart is extremely repulsive, will it leave a trauma in the heart? Who knows, they haven''t tried it anyway, but they are scared after thinking about it, and no one is willing to experience it once.


    A group of security guards rushed over there, almost pulling away the fans beside Henry one by one in a rough manner. Henry was relieved, but people seemed to be a little faint.


    After scoring the goal, the flying spirit disappeared completely, and it felt like, uh, it was like a chrysanthemum soul was burst out of the house.


    He waved his hand mechanically towards the stands, and then immediately turned around and walked towards the backcourt, fearing that another fan would rush in.


    Seeing this look of Henry, Aldridge made a decisive decision and replaced him!


    Villa, Ramall played and replaced Henry and Larson.


    When the two came off, the audience applauded, and even some Manchester United fans applauded with serious expressions.


    I have to admit that the performance of these two strikers today is worth the fare. The only thing that disappointed the Manchester United fans is that the three goals they scored were both **** Manchester United goals.


    Larson applauded the stands, and Henry also applauded. At the end of the game, Aldridge smirked and asked Henry: "Are you all right?"


    Henry looked at Aldridge strangely, and returned to the bench without speaking. Aldridge kept looking at him and found that the first thing Henry returned to the bench was to pick up the water bottle and turn his back. On the court, gargle twice.


    Dare to not want to speak just now, it is uncomfortable in the mouth.


    Think about it too.


    Aldridge spit.


    Think of a fart!


    The more you think about yourself, the more disgusting you are.


    "3: 0, Millwall should have no problem in locking the league title. Manchester United was beaten by Millwall today. The most important reason is that in such a strong dialogue, and the strength is slightly weaker than the other side, Manchester United has to make a big move. Offense, the empty space exposed in the backcourt is too large, giving Millwall offensive players a huge space to play freely. Like the third goal drop, Millwall hit the dangerous zone from the backcourt and only passed two feet. Passed, Pirlo passed to Klose, Klose passed to Larson, the latter assisted Henry, if strictly counted the number of passes of this attack after being transferred from the defense, that is four feet. Four passes, A goal was scored and Manchester United lost the ball. This is behind Manchester United''s risk of attack and the cost of weakening the defense."


    "Andy, you are right, but I want to emphasize that defense is not absolutely dependent on the number of people, but also on the space. How much space the offensive players have is the basis for their ability to play. This is why it is small. The reason why the stars with super ball control ability in the range are generally higher in value is that Millwall has compressed the defensive space, Manchester United has played a difficult offense, and Manchester United has a huge backcourt space. Millwall players play more unstoppable personally."


    Ferguson still stood on the sidelines. He looked lonely and helpless, or, like a former king who had fallen into disregard after being usurped.


    Millwall''s third goal defeated Manchester United''s momentum and made Ferguson understand it. He thought he understood Aldridge''s platoon formation. Actually, no.


    Do you focus on defense and counterattack simply because you win even if you tie?


    No, that''s just Millwall''s advantage in the situation, and Aldridge''s adjustment in the second half is to use these advantages to the extreme!


    All Europe knows that by relying only on a single midfielder, the top teams may have a certain chance of fighting against Millwall, but if they are counterattacked, you will have the most fierce and fierce midfielder in the world, and they can¡¯t stop it!


    When playing for the first time this season, Beckham''s retreat was to strengthen the defense of the midfielder. The effect cannot be said to be perfect, but at least the scene greatly restricted Millwall, but the ball was lost at the last moment and Millwall The countdown equalized the score and the blow to Manchester United was heavy, not only psychologically, but also directly brought about the passive situation.


    Today, Millwall is defensive, but it is also a temptation to force Manchester United to return to its original form. At this time, he will fight back. Millwall is not just playing the wind and water, it is simply ruining!


    Lost!


    Manchester United''s efforts this season have again been lost.


    But for this stubborn old man, it is far from the point of defeat.


    The idea of ??retirement has long been dispelled. How can he leave without leading Manchester United to suppress Millwall and establish an era ruled by the Red Devils!


    Seeing Pirlo controlling the rhythm steadily on the field, as Millwall''s offensive commander, Pirlo was still a metronome, as if he had the magical power of using Roque to come and go.


    Ferguson made up his mind, Manchester United also needs a master midfielder!


    In this top-level contest, you can''t just rush to kill.


    Aldridge replaced Pirlo in the 72nd minute of the game and replaced Alonso.


    At this time, Millwall did not have a player with a relatively outstanding personal ability on the court. Nedved can attack and defend, but if it is a ball control technique, it is okay, and it will be difficult for him to change direction continuously.


    With a new face, Villa, Ramor, and Alonso can all cooperate well with their teammates. Without relying on their personal abilities to solve the battle or open the situation, Millwall also has their roots for a safe life: teamwork!


    Manchester United are already three goals behind. Mo said there are less than 20 minutes left in the game, and even if they are given another 90 minutes, it is estimated that they do not believe they can pour Millwall four goals in the Lion King Stadium.


    However, the dignity of the old giants must still be maintained.


    If you die, you must stain your opponent''s blood!


    Manchester United is still attacking, trying to score a goal to save face.


    Man Lenovo is fast, Millwall is not here!


    After the substitutions, Millwall¡¯s formation also changed to 442 in a small diamond midfielder, Klose played with Villa forward, Ramall played in the back, Nedvide and Ah Longsuo hit the midfield and Gattuso was still in the midfield.


    Millwall seeks stability when controlling the ball, the distance between the players remains reasonable, the choice of the shot point will not fall into a single, frequent triangle passing makes Manchester United''s defense in the crazy rush but exposes more emptiness.


    In the 83rd minute, Millwall advanced through a delicate and smooth pass, seizing Manchester United¡¯s eagerness to undermine the open space exposed by the offensive and rushing siege, Lamor made a wonderful pass to Villa, who shot a long distance in the penalty area. However, Bartez fell to the ground to block the ball, but Klose, who followed up, appeared alertly at the back point and easily sent the ball into the goal.


    "Although Manchester United''s momentum on the field is still there, their mentality has completely changed. It is difficult for them to keep calm and go to the game. They have been runner-up for five consecutive years. This is unwilling, and it is difficult for ordinary people to understand. But who makes Millwall better? 4 The score of 0 is obviously not a true manifestation of the strength of the two teams, but Manchester United¡¯s defeat has been determined. The winner of the football stadium is king. This is an eternal standard."


    At this stage of the game, Klose was not too excited to celebrate, but just smiled and hugged his teammates.


    The game time passed by one minute and one second. When the game came to stoppage time, the referee ignored the stoppage time and blew the whistle at the end of the game. Manchester United would not object anyway. Millwall was in control. Ball, they have no desire to grab.


    At the moment when the whistle ended at the end of the match, a shocking scene took place at the Lion King Stadium.


    Almost all fans of the crazy lion in the stands invariably sounded a small salute. This must be a good discussion of the fan organization before the game, and it can be promoted to the fans of the same camp who came to watch the ball.


    The Lion King Stadium suddenly fluttered with colorful stripes, like a grand ceremony.


    Aldridge stretched out his right hand, the members of the coaching staff stood in a row, and they all stretched out their hands. Aldrich closed his eyes and smiled in a deep smile. A straight line walked in front of them, and his right hand gave them a high-five. This scene has become a classic picture of this season, and it is also an unforgettable memory of Aldridge''s personal coaching career.


    The dazzling colored bars flew in the air, and the players seemed to be bathed in colorful snowflakes.


    "Now this scene will surely be included in the history of the Premier League. Joyous Lion fans will turn this place into a celebration hall. Millwall, the fourth Premier League championship trophy is coming! In the nine years of the Premier League, Millwall won four championships. Today, we are here to witness together that the mad lion is crowned the king of the Premier League!"

 Chapter 636： The king is still

    Millwall played for the Premier League in six years and won four league titles and won the throne of the Premier League era. Although calculating the time, they should surpass Manchester United when they won the third championship last year. After all, Manchester United are in the Premier League. It took eight years to win three championships. Millwall spent only five years last season, but Millwall has always been a club with a history of hundreds of years. Even if Aldridge has created a new era, he can¡¯t kill the Premier League. In the first three years, Millwall missed the history of the top league. It is part of Millwall and is inseparable. Therefore, only when the fourth champion is completed, Millwall can justly become the dominant king in the era of the Premier League.


    Materazzi pressed Gattuso''s shoulders with his arms. The two looked around the stadium together. At this time, the scene of the stadium was particularly spectacular. The sky was full of colors, and the fans were passionate. Many fans rushed into the court and hugged. Players, throw some players into the sky, or express admiration and gratitude in person.


    Henry hid behind Aldridge early, seeming to be afraid of fans rushing towards him, he also deliberately dragged Larson to his side, deliberately bluffing indiscriminately, just want to have a few backs around him.


    After the game, the Manchester United team stood akimbo on the spot, his face blank.


    The season is over?


    The runner-up is another **** runner!


    No Manchester United player is willing to communicate, with opponents, with teammates, they don¡¯t want to say a word, silently lowered their heads and walked into the player channel, even if there were provocative words and deeds rushed into the road by the crazy lion fans who rushed into the field. Treat nothing.


    Aldridge walked towards Ferguson, and the two shook hands after the match. Ferguson turned his head away with only one sentence.


    "Fight next season!"


    Aldridge looked at the back of the stubborn old man and did not respond.


    War is bound to fight.


    But in terms of posture, Manchester United is the challenger, the mad lion is the contemporary master who sits on the throne.


    "father!"


    Burt and Earl ran into the field and rushed in front of Aldridge, who was bent over and directly picked up by the two.


    "are you afraid?"


    There are a lot of people here, and the scene cannot be said to be particularly harmonious, because there are security guards dispersing the fans who enter the stadium, so that the award ceremony can be carried out smoothly. In the lap around Aldridge, there are many security guards blocking the fans'' approach.


    God knows if there are extreme Manchester United fans here who will come to the disadvantage of Aldridge.


    "What are you afraid of?"


    Burt asked curiously, he was never afraid of life, his personality looked extraordinarily hearty, and Earl was slightly introverted, often like a thinker alone, and did not know what his little head was thinking.


    Seeing Melanie coming from a distance with a smile, Aldridge nodded slightly towards her. When she approached, Aldridge said, "Are you busy lately?"


    Melanie shrugged. "Slightly free."


    "Well, that''s good. I will work in the next half month. If you are free, stay with your children."


    Melanie frowned slightly, and of course she would come to London to accompany her son when she was free, but whether she went to the playground or the zoo, even if she took her son out for dining and shopping, she would call Aldridge, she could not move, two As soon as his son spoke, it was difficult for Aldridge to refuse.


    "Four days later, will the Champions League final be over? Is it half a month? Are you going on vacation?"


    Melanie thought that Aldridge had left her two sons to go to the duo world with Yiwen.


    Aldridge smiled bitterly: "I will also take the England national team to a friendly match, to Norway."


    Melanie was relieved. She smiled: "Well, during this time, I took them back to Liverpool."


    Aldridge nodded and said to Burt and Earl: "I have to listen to Liverpool."


    The two sons immediately nodded and agreed to come down. Burt grabbed the collar of Aldridge''s suit and said, "Can I go take a photo with the star?"


    "I also need to go."


    Aldridge laughed dumbly and asked, "Who do you want to take a photo with?"


    Bert pointed to Nedved, who also had a pair of children in the distance, and said, "I want to take a picture with him, he is very good."


    Aldridge was surprised.


    Logically speaking, children adore the stars, they are mainly forwards, or the kind of stars who are artists on the field.


    Earl pointed to a hip-hop player in the suit and said: "I want to take a picture with him, he is a great man."


    Aldridge looked in the direction of Earl''s finger, which was not surprising, Ronaldinho.


    According to Ronaldinho''s style of play, children like to be normal, and they always stand out without scoring goals.


    Aldridge put them on the ground and said to them, "Then you go by yourself."


    The two young children split up and down to find Nedved and Ronaldinho, while Aldridge and Melanie stood side by side to discuss the current situation.


    Nedved and his wife, and their own children are talking and laughing, but seeing Burt came behind him with a look of admiration, and said respectfully, "Mr. Nedved, you can take a picture with me ?"


    Nedved turned his head and saw the look of the little adult Burt, with a smile on his face. He certainly recognized this little guy, and there were pictures of his family on Aldridge''s desk.


    His wife smiled and took pictures of the two. Nedvide was supposed to hold Bert up, but Bert refused to do so. He stood honestly with his hands behind his back and stood beside Nedved, with a very serious expression. It''s like a new soldier.


    Nedved couldn''t help crying, feeling weirdly standing with the little guy for a photo.


    Earl rushed to Ronaldinho and pulled Ronaldinho¡¯s trousers. To receive the award today, Ronaldinho was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. He was talking to Joe Cole about adult topics, so he deliberately lowered his voice and the content of the chat was very Vulgarity is the third edition of the girl that is more famous recently.


    During this period, as the income of Premier League players has grown, consulting has become more developed, almost every team has players who like to have a relationship with the three editions of girls, and some still compare, and players don¡¯t care whether this kind of woman is out of touch Name, the true portrayal of psychological activity is probably: countless men in the UK can only hold newspapers in the toilet YY woman, I am enjoying real guns.


    It''s not that the players are guilty of looking for this kind of woman. The third version of the girl next to the star is the mainstream of the past. It is normal for players to resist the temptation.


    There are team rules within Millwall, and players only dare to secretly do this kind of thing in private. Occasionally, there are three editions of girls who have "traded" or "pursue" with Millwall players, Aldridge They also opened their eyes and closed their eyes.


    As long as it''s not something like Ferguson''s going to the police station to bail Bosnich, or a mass incident that has a bad influence, Aldridge doesn''t want to bother with such a broken thing.


    I really want to make the team members of a Premier League club absolutely keep their own safety away from the temptation of wine and wealth, hehe, God smiled.


    Earl startled Ronaldinho, and it is estimated that he thought Earl was a spy to eavesdrop on his conversation with Cole.


    Ronaldinho bent down, and Earl began to tell him to take note of Ronaldinho¡¯s extraordinary movements on the field, and took steps to demonstrate one by one. Ronaldinho looked funny, smiled from time to time, got interested, and simply taught Earl to jump Samba dance¡­¡­


    Aldridge saw Earl learning to dance with Ronaldinho in the distance, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.


    "Boss."


    Aldridge turned his head to hear the sound, but saw Palyuka standing in front of Aldridge with his family, and Palyuka stepped forward to embrace Aldridge.


    Then he greeted Melanie and left with his family to celebrate with other teammates.


    Aldridge bowed his head and smiled.


    Paliuka''s transfer, after today''s league championship, no one will question again, this is obviously a successful transfer.


    But the season is not over yet, Palyuka knows this. For him, today''s championship will only make him more ambitious for the Champions League final four days later.


    If he can defend the city gate and help Millwall defend the Champions League successfully, Palyuka has reached a new height in his career at the age when the average player should retire.


    The fans on the stadium left the stadium and the stadium turf became colorful. Those small ribbons covered the ground, making the stadium look like a colorful sea of ??flowers at first glance.


    The red carpet was paved, and the podium was erected.


    The family of the players stood on the side of the red carpet, and the players returned to the player channel, as did Aldridge.


    The award-winning guests came from the channel, one was the FA''s executive officer, and the other was one of Millwall''s last season''s achievements. Irish forward Tony Cascarino, who retired this year.


    Cascarino, who is about 39 years old, has ended his career in a French low-level club. His career in the UK is not too glorious. Even if Aston Villa won the runner-up in the old League One era, he was That Aston Villa did not contribute much.


    But relative to Millwall, he is an important star.


    The three seasons he played for Millwall was a small peak of Millwall in the period before Audridge took over the team.


    In the first season, he helped Millwall win the old British second championship. In the second season, he was in the top league in England, which was the English Premier League at the time. He helped Millwall get the tenth league. In the third season, Millwall After being relegated to the League One, he was then sold by the club.


    In those three seasons, it was Sheringham who played side-by-side with Cascarino for the siege of Millwall. This pair of strikers has an important position in Millwall history.


    Perhaps for today¡¯s Millwall, Cascarino and Sheringham are not worth mentioning, but I think that 94 years ago, in a century-old history, Millwall could be in the top league and won the tenth place in the league. The record, this is already very remarkable, so he is also a symbol of a period of Millwall in the old era, and it is a figure that many older fans in the stands see him smiling and applauding for him.


    Cascarino shook hands with Aldridge and said, "Mr. Hall, why didn''t you give birth ten years earlier?"


    Aldridge froze for a few seconds, then chuckled.


    Ten years earlier, perhaps Cascarino would be able to play under Aldridge.


    Aldridge smiled and said, "Tony, why don''t you give birth 15 years later?"


    Cascarino also froze for a moment, and then laughed loudly. The conversation between the two fell into the ears of everyone else, and everyone smiled.


    Cascarino, the man who scored more than 50 goals for various events in Millwall in three seasons, walked into the Lion King Stadium and walked to the podium with the Premier League trophy while carrying the Premier League trophy Going, the scene was thunderous, and many Lion fans over the age of 30 stood up and applauded, whistling, and welcoming the return of Cascarino in the way they were best at.


    The award-winning ceremonies called the names of Millwall players one after another. The players entered the stadium one after another. When Aldridge arrived, he made a gesture of bowing and bowing towards the four stands, which led to a new climax.


    The FA''s executives put the medals on each player one by one, and Cascarino finally handed the Premier League trophy to Southgate.


    When Southgate received the trophy, a group of players behind him couldn''t hold back anymore, bent down behind him, and collectively uttered a low scream, apparently brewing something.


    Southgate also bent down, suddenly jumped up and raised the championship trophy over his head, the team players roared, the Lion King Stadium salute, the Premier League officially ended this season, Millwall¡¯s three consecutive championships ended the season The princes disputed, the king, still sitting on the throne to enjoy the glory.

 Chapter 637： Pinnacle battle

    Three days before the Champions League final, Millwall and Bayern Munich arrived on the same day in Milan, Italy, to prepare for this pinnacle.


    Compared with Bayern Munich¡¯s last minute escape and reversal to win the championship, Millwall won the league trophy with a hearty victory. Regardless of morale, confidence, or status, the outside world believes that Millwall is better than others. This is the way. The truth.


    Will Millwall belittle the enemy?


    Aldrich responded at the pre-match press conference: The defending success will make history, who will be underestimated? What''s more, Bayern Munich cut Manchester United and Arsenal in a row. Although Millwall will not connect himself with Manchester United Arsenal, it is necessary to return to the external evaluation of the lack of weight of the Premier League championship!


    The Serie A champions have enough gold, but the Serie A team has had a poor performance in the Champions League for two consecutive years. Of course, one of the reasons for the Italian media¡¯s defense is that because of the fierce competition in the league and the serious internal friction, the Serie A team appears to have enough heart to go to Europe. Lack of power.


    This kind of argument sounds unreasonable, and it makes sense.


    But if we simply say that the Premier League is not competitive, then it is underestimated that the European strength rankings in these few seasons can definitely enter the top five Manchester United.


    At the same time, Aldridge said solemnly and solemnly at the press conference: "Milwall came to Milan City to make history in San Siro and left with the Champions League trophy. The opponents are very strong, but we will beat them in the game. Because, we are stronger!"


    Outsiders found that the young commander''s external speech began to change.


    It used to be a humble attitude. Even if Millwall is listed as a hot spot, he will still be cautious.


    But now, he always tells everyone about Millwall''s ambitions.


    Changed, Aldridge changed.


    Because Millwall is no longer the former Millwall.


    Now, Aldridge wants to shape Millwall''s king image and team''s king temperament.


    This is much higher than the strong temperament, and it is more difficult to shape.


    The true king, no matter who the opponent is, is to have confidence and obsession to defeat the opponent absolutely, and there is no room for doubt.


    We must go further on the basis of pursuing victory in the past.


    For them, it is not a failure to win a championship, but a failure if you do not win!


    Of course, no team can guarantee victory in battle, but when this belief is instilled in the players, when the game fails to win, it will give them a stronger sense of crisis, defend the consciousness of honor, and at the same time, also promote the players A means that the spirit cannot be slack.


    They must always maintain their competitive ability to deserve Millwall''s kingship.


    Professional football is very cruel. Players may only have a 20-year career, and the peak period is only about 5 years. To make the peak period longer and the competitive state not to decline greatly, players need to maintain their focus on work. degree.


    Bayern Munich coach Heathfield is a lot of low-key, after all, Bayern Munich was double killed by Millwall last year, although Millwall this year is not as eye-catching in the league as last year, and it can not replicate the glory of the three crowns last season, but Mill It is indisputable that Wall''s strength is further improved.


    The Millwall domestic cup was double-killed by Liverpool. The outside world has not criticized Millwall, and Liverpool finally won the three cups, the League Cup, the FA Cup, and the League Cup.


    Millwall lost to Liverpool in the second team. It can be said that Millwall sacrificed the honor of the domestic cup to continue their youth training tradition.


    If you have to fight for all the championship trophies you can get, it will inevitably reduce the space for young players to play out. This is contrary to Millwall¡¯s youth training concept. In order to ensure the quality of youth training, young players are given the opportunity to play every season. Let them grow up, the price is naturally the stadium record.


    I want to train young talents endlessly, and I want to take over all the champions. How can there be such a good thing in the world?


    When you are lucky, such as last season, such as the cup champions you have won in the past few years, young people''s enthusiasm, or the knockout opponents encountered because of the schedule are not too strong and do not pay attention, etc., finally won the domestic cup champion, you can only say It was Millwall who made it. They really wanted to use their main force to impact the domestic cup champions. So at the expense of the youth training tradition, in the long run, it is obviously more harm than good.


    In this way, the chances of young people playing are still obviously insufficient in this season. Lampard and Ashley Cole have left the team on loan in the middle of the season for this reason.


    Since Aldrich came to Milan, the top three in northern Italy, and some slightly economically strong clubs, they have sent managers who want to meet with him in private.


    Serie A is over, the signing of the Italian team is naturally on the table, many people want to play Millwall players'' ideas, this is not a day or two, but if the players have a little fame, they will naturally be eyeed by their peers.


    Aldrich declined all appointments, and the club, regardless of the transfer representative or CEO Adam, also abide by the rules of the club: the season will not end, not talking about transfers!


    If a picture of Adam and a club representative was taken, the outside world naturally imagined that the news would definitely disturb the military.


    On the day of the game, San Siro was full of seats. In addition to Millwall and Bayern Munich fans competing to enter to cheer on their respective teams, neutral fans, especially local Italian fans, also had a lot of people to watch.


    Outside analysis of the final in the Chinese position, Millwall still has the advantage!


    There are no Italian players in Bayern Munich, but there are Italian players in Millwall. There are only five players in the starting lineup!


    Palyuca, Materazzi, Zambrotta, Gattuso, Pirlo!


    Therefore, part of the neutral fans came to San Siro without a pure appreciation, and partly came with support for Italian players.


    San Siro is also performing literary performances, appetizers for the audience before the game.


    Aldridge sat in the locker room and looked around at all the players, saying lightly: "Do I need to say something to stimulate your fighting spirit?"


    All players have wild eyes like wild beasts, and they all say the same: "No!"


    Ambition is not just for Audridge.


    Most of these players have followed Aldridge for many years and played in the Champions League final for the third time. If they can win the championship, the record of three Champions League titles is enough to go down in history!


    This honor is actually very great, but if you really compare history, there is a big mountain that makes all active players very helpless.


    From the first year to the fifth year of the Champions League, Real Madrid have won five consecutive championships, among which Gento won five times with the team, and later won again, becoming the player with the most Champions League championships.


    Six Champions League champions, Gento dominates the throne, and Di Stefano only has five. Really want to count down the rankings. Real Madrid accounted for one vote in the five consecutive championships.


    However, the honor is not a boring stat. The difficulty of the Champions League today is much more difficult than it was then. The players who can take two Champions Leagues are already very remarkable. Now, there are many players in the Millwall formation who hope to win the third time. From the European Champions Cup, as long as it is done, looking at the past two decades, this is a peerless glory that no one can match!


    In the face of such glory, Millwall''s players are full of fighting spirit. In more vulgar terms, if this battle is successful, they can almost be gods!


    No matter who will block, come one, destroy one!


    Aldridge is no longer long-winded. The main purpose of his pre-match training is to mobilize the player''s fighting spirit. Obviously, he is not required to emphasize this point today.


    The players walked out of the locker room bravely, preparing for a big fight.


    Aldrich came into the field and first shook hands with Heathfield. This was the fifth time the two had met in three years. They could not talk privately, but it was appropriate to greet each other. As for the game, both of them silently kept silent. Talking is just a kind of meeting with friends.


    The San Siro stand today is divided into red and blue camp colors.


    Fans of Millwall and Bayern Munich felt strange.


    In the league, Bayern Munich and Schalke 04 compete for the championship, Schalke 04 is blue, Bayern Munich is red, today in the Champions League final, met the blue Millwall.


    Fans of Millwall also felt weird. This English Premier League played against Manchester United in the red and blue war, and came to the Champions League final, or the red and blue confrontation.


    But after thinking about it, the fans of the two teams reassured themselves, and felt that this was a good sign.


    Well, Schalke''s 04 blue, lost.


    Ha, Manchester United''s red, also lost.


    The strange and similar psychological activities of the fans of the two teams are quite interesting.


    "The 2000-2001 UEFA Champions League final was played today at the San Siro Stadium in Italy. The two sides were against the last UEFA Champions League winner Millwall from England. As defending champions, their opponents were Bayern Munich from Germany. Both teams were in the fourth. A few days ago, I won the league championship, and the winner was decided in the last round. In the past two seasons, Millwall played with Bayern Munich four times, with a record of 3 wins and 1 loss. Millwall''s advantage is more obvious, but The defeat in Munich in 1999 made them lose the chance to defend the Champions League this season. Last season, the host and guest double Bayern Munich revenge successfully, and finally won the Champions League trophy for the second time. This season, the two teams met again as the UEFA In recent years, the two top teams recognized by the altar, Millwall and Bayern Munich, are not surprising. They have such strength to come here, but there is only one champion. We clean our eyes and see who can finally win the championship trophy. Right!"


    The players from both sides are on the stage, and their individual fighting spirits are high. If they simply talk about the momentum, in fact Millwall is slightly inferior to Bayern Munich. The German team''s strength during this period is very significant, and the spiritual level of the bonus is very significant. This is not unrealistic. On the court are various aspects such as fighting spirit, fighting spirit, solidarity and cooperation. In simple terms, football skills are the key, but sometimes a team with a strong spirit can often show terrifying fighting power.


    "Here are the players and starting formations from both sides.


    Defending champion Millwall lacked the absolute main player Ronaldinho. He sat on the bench today, replacing him with Glenn Charles, and Bout who was injured mid-season also sat on the bench. On the table.


    Millwall started 433.


    Goalkeeper: Palyuka.


    Guards: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.


    Midfielders: Gattuso, Pirlo, Nedved.


    Strikers: Larson, Henry, Glenshire.


    Bayern Munich also has some main players missing, and Jeremy Mays can not play or may affect the game trend. He is a key defensive midfielder of Bayern Munich. Today, Heathfield played with the younger Hargreaves, but May this young man withstand the pressure.


    Bayern Munich start 541.


    Goalkeeper: Kahn.


    Defenders: Sagnol, Kufuor, Anderson, Link, Lizarazu.


    Midfielders: Salihamidzic, Effenberg, Hargreaves, Sauer.


    Forward: Elber.


    Well, the two sides have completed the side pick, the game starts immediately, Millwall kicks off, let us witness the birth of the European king this season! "

 Chapter 638： balance

    Bayern Munich today still plays a 5-guard formation, which belongs to the 352 variant formation. During this period, the 352 formation was actually very popular in the UEFA football field. The Bundesliga, Serie A, La Liga, and even some teams in the Premier League have followed suit.


    This is determined by the football development environment. The popular reason is that the modern winger has not yet become the mainstream. Like the wing forward role of Beckham, 90% of the work on the wing is passed and the cannonball is delivered to the forward. The three guards defended and guarded the most critical restricted zone, but they were narrower than the double guard.


    But with the rise of modern wingers, such as the typical Robben-style wing dribble inwards, this three-back system is very easy to break down.


    Bayern Munich was double-killed last year and suffered this kind of loss. This year''s final meeting, they absolutely dared not play the pure 352, that is, the two wing players in the 5 midfielder went straight up and down, both offensive and defensive.


    Theoretically 352, the midfielder can take a side-by-side take, can become a full-back when entering, and can become a full-back when he retreats. But when the game is in progress, you go up, can''t go back the first time, is there a full-back? The offense is threatening, the defense does not make mistakes, to achieve this in the top team confrontation, the player''s personal ability must be world-class!


    More than a decade later, Juventus¡¯ 352 has been in Serie A, but its competitiveness in the European War is unbearable. One of the reasons is that Serie A did not have many stars at that time, let alone the sharp modern winger, Juventus. It can''t withstand many tests on defense, but on the stage of the UEFA Champions League, the tactical level is suppressed by powerful modern wingers, and the whole situation is passive.


    So Bayern Munich does not give up the mature three-guard system, Lizarazu and Sagnol still go back to play as full-backs, and they move the whole body in one shot, lacking the support of these two players on the wing. Sauer and Salihamidzic can only retreat into a full-back.


    On Millwall''s bench, Ronaldinho watched the game with a serious expression.


    The starting list was decided at the last moment.


    Although Ronaldinho insisted on playing, Aldrich decided to put him on the bench after referring to the team doctor''s advice.


    Once Aldridge made a decision, it was finalized and could not be changed.


    But Aldridge still promised Ronaldinho that he will replace him in the second half.


    Grenchar, who replaced Ronaldinho''s starting lineup, is very excited today. This is his first appearance as a starting player in the Champions League final. On the left, he cannot replace Ronaldinho''s role, but he has his own characteristics. After years of careful training, Glennshire became more and more a shadow of a modern winger.


    "Glenchard took the ball from the sideline, he broke through Sagnol and walked into the post, Effenberg and Kufuor defended him, Glenchard passed the ball, Henry was in the middle Receiving the ball, he tried to get rid of the defense of Anderson and Link, and there was Hargreaves'' back defense behind. Oh, Henry barely kicked his foot, and he rebounded on Anderson¡¯s leg, and Millwall started from the beginning. Occupied the initiative on the field, the advantage is very obvious, but it is almost impossible to get an excellent shooting opportunity in the penalty area. Bayern Munich''s three central defenders cast a tight city wall, effectively blocking Millwall''s last blow. "


    Since the opening, Bayern Munich has been in danger within and outside the restricted area. Millwall frequently attacked this area, but could not form an effective visual threat to the goal.


    Bayern Munich''s five guards have made the defense line smaller, and the united and tacit cooperation has always allowed them to sandwich Millwall''s offensive players with a joint defense strategy.


    Aldridge stared at the field calmly.


    Hargreaves is still young, only appeared in Bayern Munich this season, Jeremy Mays can not play in the finals, he replaced, obviously can not replace the role of Jeremy Mays.


    This led Tiger Effenberg to devote 80% of his energy to defense, forming a double back in front of the Bayern Munich defender.


    The function of the double waist is simply to improve the fault tolerance rate, one person makes a mistake, and another person makes up.


    This, combined with Bayern Munich¡¯s five guards, further increases the fault tolerance rate.


    Compared to talent, Bayern Munich is obviously not Millwall''s opponent, and they are not afraid of being overtaken by their opponents today, unless someone from Millwall can overturn the audience!


    The five defenders of Bayern Munich, in addition to Lizarazu is super first-class level, the level of several others is actually uneven. Kufuor is the core of Ghana¡¯s defensive, not famous, but the level is first-class, Link, Anderson and Sagnol can only be counted as quasi-first-class or barely first-class. They are all substitutes in the national team. In this season of winning the Bayern Munich League, the emperor Beckenbauer still has When angry and angry, the key criticism is Anderson and others.


    It is also because Bayern Munich does not have a defensive line built by absolutely first-class players, they are more determined to use the number to make up for the gap in individual strength.


    Like Henry, Larson, Ronaldinho, this Millwall superb trident, Henry has reached super first-class, Larson''s age is increasing, the strength is not as good as three years ago, but also in the first-class realm, but small Luo is at the top of the class. It is estimated that next season, he will turn his accumulated experience into strength and will also enter the super first-class state.


    If Bayern Munich puts up a four-back defender, or plays 352, then the direct balance of the players¡¯ personal abilities will tilt the balance of victory and defeat, because Millwall¡¯s trident is not only capable, but also the team. Tacit understanding.


    Heathfield looked secretly anxious on the sidelines.


    Ronaldinho missed. This was a good factor for Bayern Munich. He originally thought that Aldridge would send Klose. With reference to the game of the league finale, Henry went to the winger and Klose to play the center.


    Klose did indeed perform well this season, but the overall personal strength can only be said to have reached a quasi-first class, not yet a first-class state, otherwise he will not be suppressed in the face of Keane, even so, Klose''s progress It''s already very fast.


    And if Millwall is on Klose, Bayern Munich will still play the current formation, the difference is that Effenberg can focus more on the offense, Klose¡¯s threat from the center position is not so great, The three guards can flexibly push a man to intercept, thus sharing the pressure on the back line.


    But Heathfield didn''t expect that Aldridge put out Glenn Charles, and the center didn''t move!


    This kind of platoon formation, Aldridge is also well thought out, similar in strategy to Tian Ji horse racing.


    Is Saniol quasi-first class, using Henry''s super first class to suppress Saniol on the side, is it not a waste?


    Just putting Henry on the center position, this deterrent force forced the Bayern Munich defender to dare not act rashly, and the role of pulling the midfielder is definitely more intuitive than putting him on the wing.


    Millwall''s advantage on the field was evolved after the game between the two parties.


    Nedved absolutely suppressed Hargreaves, and Effenberg would be behind to participate more in the defense.


    The premise of Pirlo''s position is to organize the attack more freely in the midfield, which is the source of Millwall''s attack.


    In the 21st minute, Bayern Munich counterattack, Millwall dominates the offense, the backcourt space is large, Bayern Munich really counterattacks have a lot of free time, but, if they want to play speed, players must move forward quickly, with a slight delay, Millwall''s attack Players will return to defense quickly.


    Sauer led the ball forward on the left. When his teammates did not return to position, Gattuso did not rush to intercept. He always maintained a reasonable distance from the defender line, while blocking Sauer from passing the ground to penetrate the ball. Elber''s route, and then stuck in the key position when Sauer took the ball inside.


    Sauer is a rare technical genius player in German football at this stage. The style of the game is very elegant. He took the ball quickly and quickly to Gattuso. It was not that he was looking for Gattuso, but that Gattuso moved to him. Forward.


    Sauer pretended to sway right in the high-speed dribble, and then the spike broke through from the left side. Gattuso did not eat and swayed. He used his body to get the card directly. Sauer actually bypassed half of the position and forced to pass, but this is more One step of running made his chaos rhythm chaotic. The next moment after touching the ball, Schneider shot diagonally to break the ball.


    Bayern Munich fought back.


    "After playing for 30 minutes in the first half, Millwall had an advantage on the field, but the steel defenses that Bayern Munich cast in the penalty area prevented them from getting a great shot. Pirlo and Nedved repeatedly on the perimeter. Attempting a long shot, Kahn played very steadily. Probably because of the excellent performance of the goalkeeper, Bayern Munich defenders are not afraid of the opponent¡¯s long shot, and they did not put the defense premise or rush forward to intercept. Bayern Munich here because most players Mainly defensive, in several counterattacks, we clearly see that Salihamidzic or Sauer, the more the ball moves forward, the easier it is to get caught and fall into a situation of isolation and helplessness Either the ball was intercepted or barely kicked to test Palyuca. In general, Millwall¡¯s advantage is more obvious. If Bayern Munich can¡¯t solve the offensive problem and let the offense play efficiently, this defense will be Without losing the ball, it is really hard to say that Millwall has more opportunities, which is very dangerous."


    The situation on the court actually fell into a balance.


    Blurred analysis, Millwall''s five-man offensive force dragged Bayern Munich''s seven to defend, while Bayern Munich''s three-man attack could not shake Millwall''s five-man defensive line.


    In this situation, the two sides are fighting against each other.


    From the opening, Heathfield struggled to find a way to improve the offense.


    However, the defensive system with five backs and double backs can only be said to be a tie with Millwall''s offensive. If you make adjustments from these seven players, it will inevitably break the balance and increase the risk of losing the ball.


    On the other hand, the offensive combination of bilateral forwards and forwards is too scattered. In the absence of midfield support, the counterattack does not want to fall into positional warfare, and it becomes a single-handed battle. Although Millwall has no first-class defense But if 5 defense 3 is exploded, then Millwall will not go to today.


    Heathfield decided to look at it again, and then observe.


    He is actually willing to attack Millwall, just like Millwall playing Manchester United, let Manchester United attack, Millwall fights back, and the threat is higher!


    But what Heatsfield expected was that Millwall''s offense could exert such a terrible repression. He thought that 6 defenses and 5 defenses would achieve balance, but now it has become 7 defenses and 5 defenses.


    After all, it''s because of Jeremys'' inability to play.


    No matter how hard Hargreaves is, Nedved is at least three points weaker.


    Millwall''s God of War cannot be suppressed by the Bayern Munich Tigers, and Effenberg is not a pure defensive player. On a one-on-one basis, Nedved has an advantage.


    Heathfield chose not to move, Aldridge raised his wrist and looked at his watch, feeling the time was almost the same.


    Millwall should take the initiative to make changes!

 Chapter 639： Momentum burst

    The relatively balanced situation on the court is a manifestation of the stalemate between Millwall and Bayern Munich.


    This scene was probably foreseen in a major conversation between Aldridge and Najib five or six years ago.


    There is no one technique or tactic that can sweep all opponents on the football field.


    When an effective new tactic has just appeared, it is extremely powerful. In the process of continuous improvement and improvement, it can help the team reach a full height, but at the same time, the opponent will focus on your tactics and then find ways Go to limit.


    With the strength of Bayern Munich, using a 7-man defense to limit 5 offensives, this has brought the situation to a balance, making Millwall unable to score goals, but they also have the damage of self-abolition of martial arts, neither of them can score a goal, at least. ,Do not lose!


    This stalemate is that tactics, Millwall can not create an excellent opportunity, but from a global perspective, Millwall still has the offensive initiative, Bayern Munich has only temporarily solved the defense.


    At this point, it is difficult to fight tactics to create unexpected effects.


    What do you rely on?


    This is what Najib discovered that year, Millwall youth technical flaws in youth training, so as to cure the disease, established a player technical training department headed by Mullensteen.


    Aldrich''s decision to decide on the "tactical flow as the main, technical flow as a supplement" youth training policy in the following years proved its correctness and laid the cornerstone of Millwall''s success.


    Mainly pure technical flow is very dangerous. If you don¡¯t count as a goalkeeper, there are 10 players on your side. There is only one ball. The distribution of ball rights will be a big problem. There will be no ups and downs when there is no player. When the technology is top When a player is in a bad state but still overdominates the ball, the team¡¯s record is difficult to guarantee, and it also makes the team¡¯s unity on the field vulnerable. This is very common in some technical streaming teams, and most of the familiar internal strife are First-class technical players blamed each other.


    Millwall strengthens the player''s personal skills under the framework of tactical flow, so that when their tactics are restricted, their ability to play can create opportunities locally.


    Six or seven years later, the European crown of Barcelona, ??Tiki-Taka is famous, is this tactic very novel? No, now, in the past, in Spain, in Catalonia, Tiki-Taka has always existed, and Barcelona is based on Tiki-Taka tactics, but if there is no Messi such a force to change the world of war The striker, Barcelona wants to seal the king by tactics alone, can''t make a conclusion that it can''t be done, but it will definitely be more difficult.


    Today''s appearance of Glenchard is very eye-catching on the left, and it relies on personal foot skills.


    But in front of opponents like Bayern Munich, if you want to rely on the player''s personal ability to decide the game, there are only a handful of people who can do this in the Millwall formation.


    Glencharr can only say that there is a certain advantage in the local area, but the closer to the penalty area, the closer to the goal, and the threat of kicking, he will encounter great blocking pressure.


    Larson, Nedved, Pirlo, or because of the style of play, or because of the role on the field, it is also difficult to solve the battle after a sudden outbreak.


    Now only one person on the field can do this, and there is still one person sitting on the field.


    Aldrich promised Ronaldinho to play in the second half before the game. In addition to avoiding the possible recurrence of his old injury from the start of the injury and comeback, it is also a strategy. The players of Bayern Munich will run for 60-70 minutes. Ronaldinho Once again, the physical advantage is obvious, and the effect will be better.


    And Henry, who is on the center of the field, based on his performance in Millwall in the past two years, Audridge believes that he can definitely change the situation.


    The only problem is that in the static, Henry is facing the three guards and has a double back behind him. He is caught in this small area and has no room to play at all.


    Although relying on Henry''s personal ability, Aldridge as the coach can''t just pray to the sky on the sidelines: Henry, let the small universe break out!


    If this can bring victory, then the head coach''s job is too easy, just like Real Madrid to form a galaxy battleship, world-class players, you play it yourself, broke out, the field broke out, the season ended our trophy!


    To create space and opportunities for Henry to burst!


    In the first thirty minutes, Millwall had 5 defenses and 3 backcourts, which was very stable. It was also a necessary process for observing opponents, understanding opponents, and familiarizing with opponents on the field. After finding out Sauer, Salihamidzic, Elber''s main activity area today, the running route, the choice of the ball, and the framework of the team, Millwall can take the risk.


    Since his defeat in Munich that year, Aldridge will take the initiative to take risks in the stalemate, but he will not bet his life on such a radical.


    "Milwall kicked the corner in the frontcourt, Larsson''s shot was blocked by Link''s body. We saw that in the backcourt, Millwall coach Hall stopped Schneider in the face of the opportunity, it seems that Milvo I will make adjustments."


    Schneider followed Aldridge for seven years. Aldrich talked to these old men about how to adjust in the field, and he often conveyed tactical instructions accurately with only a few words.


    When the coach deliberately stopped the players to adjust on the sidelines, the other players would delay the game time, and Pirlo went to kick the corner.


    After Schneider led his command, he ran to the frontcourt and said a few words with Nedved, Henry, and Glenshare respectively. After he finished speaking, the referee also urged Pirlo to take a corner kick quickly.


    Heathfield was dignified and Aldridge made adjustments. He must have worked **** the offensive side. What challenges or crises will Bayern Munich usher in? I can''t see it. How can I predict? Offense is always active, ever-changing, and defense is passive.


    Three minutes later, in the 35th minute of the first half, Heathfield saw Schneider''s bold assists go up, Larsson cut into the ribs of the penalty area diagonally, and it seemed to be heading for the header.


    Bayern Munich''s three defenders in the penalty zone mainly target Henry, assisting Larson and Glencharne. When Larsen enters the penalty zone, the central defender will inevitably have one to assist.


    The centered Anderson stared at Henry and found that Henry did not move!


    But next to Henry, another person slammed out and rushed up between Anderson and Kufuor. Schneider passed the ball around the front point, and Nedvide jumped up on the slightly lower landing point. The ball hits the goal.


    Kahn moved along with the ball trajectory, Nedved''s header was a straight line, the ball speed was very fast, but Kahn was not slow. After jumping, the ball was blocked by a single palm above the beam.


    "Millwall had a threatening attack! Nedved''s header almost broke Bayern Munich''s gate, but fortunately Kahn blocked the ball bravely. The ball was really thrilling, and there was a huge sigh from the stands ."


    Kahn climbed up from the ground and didn''t change his color, but he still felt a little panic in his heart.


    The goalkeeper made a save and must have blocked the ball outwards. In fact, the ball was just not touched by the palm of his hand. The ball touched the top of the palm of 1/3, and then turned to the bottom line from the crossbar. If he responded slowly, 0.01 Seconds, even if the hand touches, it may not stop the ball from flying into the goal.


    Heathfield felt scalp numb on the sidelines, Millwall''s guard moved.


    If two full-backs are moving at the same time, but Schneider is alone, this choice is very targeted.


    Use the threats of Schneider and Larson on this side to suppress Lizalazu, forcing Lizarazu to not dare to attack even if he finds a large open area in front.


    The pressure on Bayern Munich to block the attack will be reduced, but Sauer, Salihamidzic, and Elber, the three also have to face Millwall''s three guards and a defensive midfielder. How does Gattuso move? Position selection is the key, but he is an immortal beast.


    After Schneider went up, he shared the task of Larsson''s cross. Larsson could concentrate on cutting into a right forward and get rid of the wingers.


    The ball just now, Larson formed a threat, Henry contained the middle, Nedved shot unexpectedly, this kind of routine is not new, Bayern Munich was hit once, sounded the alarm, and will not give Millwall a second time. Opportunity to play such an effect.


    Seeing Aldridge''s expression slightly bowed behind the waist, Heathfield thought it was Aldridge''s killing trick.


    He still did not make changes, Millwall took the risk, relatively, Bayern Munich defensive pressure increased, but the threat of offense will also increase.


    Aldridge really regrets that Nedv¨§d¡¯s header failed to get the ball to the goal, but he is still full of confidence.


    Bayern Munich counterattacked and played specifically against Sauer, but today Sauer was entangled with Gattuso and was unable to play. Several attempts to break the ball were ended by the opponent. This time, he chose to pass to Elber. He didn''t dare to make a long pass, and the time the ball flew in the air would make Salihamidzic on the other side watched by Zambrotta when he received the ball.


    Elber took the ball, turned and pulled horizontally to use his speed to force Materazzi, Materazzi blocked the Elber forward by blocking the middle of the road. The chance of the two was 50/50, but both failed to control the ball. , Southgate took the ball from behind, and then made a diagonal pass to the right. Schneider took the ball over the center line, turned around, and Millwall attacked again.


    Seeing Bayern Munich''s offensive return, Hessfield failed to even shoot, and stomped his teeth.


    In terms of Millwall''s central defenders and midfielders, his ability is definitely not super first-class, that is, first-class level.


    Gattuso is still the first-class player in this season. Materazzi, Southgate, on personal defensive ability, is still far from world-class, and Southgate¡¯s age, he certainly can not become World class guard.


    But this is the kind of defense that can limit Bayern Munich''s first-rate offensive line and limit the chances of even shooting.


    Heathfield knew that this was Aldridge''s ability to tune the team''s defense. It brought together several first-class players and formed a team to play a 1 + 1 greater than 2 effect.


    Especially people like Southgate who have a high body weight and do not have an advantage in the center defender. Watching him play in the defender defense can obviously find his calmness. His consciousness is characterized by his brain playing football .


    In the 43rd minute of the game, Schneider continued to drive the ball on the right, this time he deliberately slowed down.


    Lizzarazu did not dare to step forward and rushed forward. Larson has begun to move freely to the ribs of the penalty area. Pirlo also stepped forward to respond. Nedved directly rushed into the penalty area.


    Hargreaves saw Nedved''s running, and he also pulled back. Effenberg planned to defend Pirlo, but he just moved two steps and suddenly found something wrong.


    A man ran from behind, Glenn Charles!


    This kid doesn''t insert the ribs of the restricted area. Why do he run in front of the center of the restricted area? Excessive tandem or long shot?


    Effenberg pulled back, and what surprised him even more happened.


    Henry, ran out of the penalty area, and the further he ran, the farther he was from the penalty area!


    Henry ran back, Nedvide rushed forward, Glenn Carr moved to the front of the middle of the penalty area, Larsen Inchee, this series of simultaneous changes in running position made Bayern Munich''s mark defense defensive, especially At the waistline, Mo said that Hargreaves was dizzy, and Effenberg didn''t know who to stare at all.


    Schneider passed the ball, a short half-height pass to the middle, Henry was unmarked 38 yards from the goal!

 Chapter 640： World number one!

    When Henry was sure to catch Schneider''s pass steadily, the Bayern Munich team was shocked.


    Millwall''s wave of offense, the player''s position is dazzling, their defensive tasks, especially the marking task is also rapidly changing.


    Lizarazu, Link, Anderson, Kufuor completed the defense of Larsen and Nedved at the back line, and Sagnol also rushed to the middle of the road with Glencharr to support.


    Between the flashlights, Effenberg chose to go with Pirlo.


    Pirlo¡¯s organizational creativity cannot be ignored, and Effenberg believes that when Millwall¡¯s offensive position is likely to cause Bayern Munich to miss people, Pirlo¡¯s threat in this area is obviously higher than that of Henry.


    There is a kind of Henry long shot 38 yards from the goal!


    If Kahn was so exploded, Bayern Munich had nothing to say.


    Effenberg determined that Henry would definitely hand the ball to Pirlo, and then used the forward insertion to create a new round of Bayern Munich defense chaos. Pirlo''s scalpel-like pass would surely catch the defense flaws, thereby creating Millwall Goal.


    Heng used the chest to stop the ball steadily, the ball was unloaded and dropped, Heng used the thigh to turn, and the whole person started forward!


    Henry, speed up!


    In the previous restrictions on Henry, in the predicament of the front and back, Mo said that starting the outbreak, even getting the ball became very difficult. Now, in the case of unmarked, he explodes the speed with ease.


    The way he moved forward made the audience dumbfounded.


    The thighs, thighs, insteps, insteps, and the ball simply did not land!


    Henry''s ball is still accelerating and rushing forward, which requires a strong sense of rhythm to control the ball!


    It seems that he is more like playing.


    Henry took the ball for two steps and broke through Effenberg''s parallel position on the left. Hargreaves found that Sagnol was staring at Glenshire and rushed forward to intercept Henry.


    However, where Henry, who has already rushed at full speed, can the newcomer Hargreaves stop?


    Henry had a rhythm change when Hargreaves rushed up, speeding up, or using a ball forward to make Hargreaves fall.


    38, 37, 36, 35, 34...30, after breaking through the Hargreaves interception, Henry is only 25 yards away from the goal! It is almost the superimposed distance of two penalty points from the goal.


    If he moves forward, he will rush into the Bayern Munich defender zone.


    This series of processes seems to have happened a lot, but in fact, in the picture seen by the naked eye, only 3-4 seconds have passed.


    Henry stopped the ball from the chest, speeded the ball forward and shortened the distance to the goal, but it was only a little more than two steps away from the penalty line from the goal line.


    At this time, Henry no longer hesitated. When the ball fell from the air, his left leg supported his body, and his right leg swayed like a full moon with a bow, like a tiger coming down the mountain!


    Volley volley!


    Henry was fully prepared for this shot. The shot took the right part of the soccer ball. In addition to playing volley, as long as the ball is perfectly combined with the strength and angle, the effect of the shot is definitely more powerful than the ground shot.


    After the ball was shot, there was obviously no rotation in the air, but the speed was too fast and the friction of the air had an irregular trajectory change.


    Henry looked at the eyeball''s flight trajectory after shooting, and there was a sudden worry in his heart. The speed of the fast-paced ball was uncontrollable. How to fly, the variables can only be calculated by physics experts.


    Link and Anderson subconsciously use their bodies to block, and the two jump at the same time. Even if they are concussed by the ball, they must stop the ball from flying to the goal.


    But the ball was so fast that they hadn''t fully taken off yet. The ball passed between the two of them, over their shoulders, and a gust of wind blew out, as if they could hear the sound of breaking the sky.


    Kahn quickly moved to the left of the goal, his body vacated, his palm stretched out to block the ball, but he only half of the ball, his eyes watched with shock as the ball had flew into the upper left corner of the goal against the inside of the goal post.


    "An incredible goal! A shocking goal! Henry, in the final of the UEFA Champions League, left a goal that was enough for the best! He stopped the ball from the chest and didn¡¯t let the ball fall to the ground. The ball moved forward and broke through the intercepted Hargreaves while speeding up. In the end, he used an incredible volley to blast the ball into the goal of Bayern Munich. This is a very beautiful watch. A sexual goal, it is thought that Henry had just completed an upside-down golden hook four days ago. Recently, his status was almost unmatched. In the three years he came to the Hall, Henry completed the transformation of the position role. Step by step to become a top striker, and his performance this season, we have reason to believe that he is now the world''s first striker!"


    San Siro''s stands boiled, the fans of the crazy lion shouted into the sky, and many fans stretched their arms to the sky, seemingly questioning God: Is this all true?


    After seeing the goal, Henry''s expression was relieved, worried that the unexpected change of the ball''s trajectory did not occur. Immediately, he rushed to the side of the court, and his eyes were closed when he ran, his expression was distorted and excited, and he was away from the field. When there were ten meters on the side, he slid on his knees with his face covered, and when he slid out of the sideline, he opened his hands and his expression became extremely cold, just like the gods who ruled the world.


    In this alien¡¯s serious wounds, the zebra prince¡¯s aura is no longer after the serious wounds come back, Vieri is in the Meazza alone, Batti has been in the roman season, and is known as the world¡¯s first league Serie A. Who else can More prominent than Henry this season? Crespo? Shevchenko? Regardless of field statistics, team honors, or goal viewing, Henry''s performance in the key battles of April and May is absolutely outstanding!


    As for Raul, Owen and other forwards, even the Champions League can not participate, no matter how unstoppable, there is no shining stage in the Champions League final for them to play.


    Henry looked at those crazy lion fans who fell into madness and gaffe, with an inexplicable firmness in his eyes.


    The world''s first striker?


    Who cares?


    Aldridge could not have expected Henry to perform like this, but the liberation of Henry created a space explosion for him, which can increase the probability of breaking through the Bayern Munich defense, whether Henry is a breakthrough after speed up, or he is a change The point of re-deriving new offensive changes will bring a new impact to Bayern Munich.


    But Henry solved the battle alone unreasonably, and still in that way.


    Well, Aldridge¡¯s awe-inspiring thoughts about the whole process of Henry scoring a goal after breaking through the ball are just two words!


    He turned back and gave Klinsman a high-five, and he asked in a playful way: "Juergen, just like him, can you do it?"


    Klinsmann, who was red with a smile on his face, turned redder, and did not answer Aldrich''s question.


    Kahn picked the ball out of the goal and threw it to the front for the first time, roaring to inspire the morale of the team.


    Heathfield was expressionless and his mind was running fast. It was almost over from the first half. At this time, he was scored a goal, which had a great impact on the situation.


    If he wants to pick something wrong, the first offender must be Hargreaves. This kid is right to stop Henry, but Henry has not started before, and the speed can not be raised. Hargreaves obviously overestimated himself. The ability to get on the rhythm of Henry, if he is six or seven years old, he must be entrusted, but he is so young, he can only say that he has insufficient experience. If he changes Jeremys, he will also rush to intercept Henry, but see Henry start After two steps, no matter 3, 21, 21, Henry must be overthrown, as long as it is not a red card, the price of the yellow card is worth it!


    With the lesson of losing the ball this time, Bayern Munich will quickly correct such mistakes. This is not a weak point to be penetrated by the other side. If Henry still pulls out to receive the ball next time, Bayern Munich will definitely not use the same strategy. Defense.


    With only a few minutes left in the first half, Millwall scored a goal, slowed down the pace first, and wanted to see if Bayern Munich would lose their rational attack and let them catch a counterattack before going to the next city?


    Unfortunately, although Bayern Munich lost the ball, it hasn''t lost its reason. It is an aggressive attack in posture, but it has not reached the level of madness.


    After Millwall resisted the opponent''s attack, the referee whistled and blew the whistle at the end of the first half.


    "The overall confrontation between the two teams was very tight in the first half of the 45 minutes. Millwall''s offensive improved after a period of 30 minutes. It was at that time that Henry took the opportunity to score a goal through his personal performance. I believe the scene in the second half will be More open, with the passage of time, Bayern Munich will have to attack, otherwise, they will pass the Champions League again after an interval of 2 years, they have been waiting hard for 25 years!"


    Bayern Munich fans in the stands have begun to pray.


    There is also unspeakable resentment in my heart.


    In 1999, Millwall, who was determined to defend, was eliminated, but in the final encounter Manchester United dropped black for three minutes, watching the championship trophy slip through the fingers.


    This year''s double killing of Manchester United and double killing of Arsenal not only reported Manchester United''s revenge for taking away the championship, but also stepped on the corpses of the Premier League to reach the finals, but they encountered Millwall again and finished the first half. Bayern Munich is behind...


    Premier League team, **** fucking!


    The two teams returned to the locker room, while Heathfield cheered for the team while arranging tactical adjustments.


    On the other side, Aldridge also explained to the disciples how to play in the second half. They lead, there is no need to make major changes, and even the changes in the second half of the first half must be canceled, and the five-person defensive posture will continue to be maintained because Bayern Munich is bound to increase the aggressiveness of the offense. Relatively, the balance in the first 30 minutes of the first half is converted to Bayern Munich to take risks to make changes. This balance will no longer exist in the second half. Between offense and defense, Millwall On the basis of solid defense can still get more opportunities.


    After the two teams walked out of the locker room, Aldridge calmly walked out of the player''s passage and then entered the field. He came to the coach''s seat one step ahead and stood still with a calm expression.


    1:0!


    Based on this score, Millwall today as long as he does not make mistakes, Audridge does not believe who can stop the mad lion from defending the successful European Championship!


    Heathfield''s face was not very good-looking, he knew that Bayern Munich''s opponent in the second half, not only Millwall, but also time!

 Chapter 641： A showdown

    After the start of the second half, Hessfield looked at Millwall''s tactical changes, and his heart seemed to press a big mountain, making it difficult for him to breathe.


    Looking deeply at the young master who was not far away, Hesfield didn''t expect the situation now, but was lucky.


    Millwall returned to the situation in the first 30 minutes of the first half. The full-back will not boldly assist, and the offensive end patiently looks for opportunities to exert pressure on Bayern Munich by controlling the rhythm of the field.


    How much does Heathfield hope that the young coach can make more changes when he leads the ball!


    Millwall took another step back and only needed one step, facing the second half with the mentality of defending the victory, Bayern Munich''s strong willpower will launch a strong counterattack!


    But Aldrich also knows that Millwall can''t retreat and can''t naively think that increasing the number of defenders to improve defense can win the championship.


    This is very different from the situation where Manchester United tied for the title.


    If Millwall took a step back, Bayern Munich pulled back a ball, and then? Will Aldridge adjust his offense again? This repeated adjustment, and the opposite change in the offensive and defensive enthusiasm, is the emergence of self-disruption, which will inevitably affect the player''s mentality.


    Now, Millwall is defending with offense!


    Because they have invested enough offensive force, forcing Bayern Munich must also invest a sufficient number of players to defend, weakening Bayern Munich''s offensive investment.


    Bayern Munich played the ball from the start to the second half with frustration. The rhythm change is controlled by Millwall, and they can''t help!


    In the 54th minute, Tiger Effenberg couldn''t bear to step forward to participate in the attack. Bayern Munich was 4-5 in this wave of attack, but in the last blow, Elber just barely got up and the ball was paved Liuka was firmly in his arms, and then Millwall launched a counterattack. Effenberg did not run back to halftime, and Glenchar received a pass from Zambrotta on the left of the frontcourt.


    Bayern Munich had a relatively low backline area, and with Hargreaves alone, Glenchart drove the ball directly from the side to the middle of the road and handed the ball to Pirlo when the ball was about five yards before the penalty area. , The latter kept the ball straight and plugged into the left rib free, Nedved and Glenchard were on this side, so that Kufuer failed to completely stare at Nedved.


    Nedved did not form a single-pass ball after entering the penalty area, but he immediately chose a cross. Anderson''s supplementary defense allowed Henry to have a certain space for activity. However, Nedved passed the ball just after leaving the foot, but Hagg Reeves turned around and directly fell to the flying shovel to shovel out the bottom line.


    Nedved was sorry, Bayern Munich defender was shocked with cold sweat. If Hargreaves does not shovel out the ball, Henry has a good chance of getting a great shot in the middle of the goal!


    Effenberg saw Millwall''s rapid counterattack after he attacked, and the weakness of the single midfielder. Now he also understood that if he did not play defense, the risk of losing the ball would suddenly increase.


    Time passed by one minute and one second. For a period of time, the scene seemed to be unsettled. Until the 63rd minute of the game, Bayern Munich¡¯s bilateral defenders began to boldly advance to participate in the offense. Aldrich¡¯s look changed, knowing that Bayern Munich began to enter the backwaters. In the state.


    He called Ronaldinho, who had been jogging and warming up on the sidelines since the second half, and said a few words to him. Ronaldinho nodded solemnly, then took off the bench shirt and came to the sidelines.


    "Glenchard was replaced and he played very well today. Both offense and defense are very active. Several wonderful passes are impressive. Ronaldinho, who was injured in the first round of the semifinals ''S player finally made it to the finals. If his condition is okay, then he will be more threatening than Glennshire!"


    Heathfield''s expression was harsh. He originally thought that Aldridge would not use Ronaldinho on the bench, but now, since Aldridge dares to use Ronaldinho, it means that Ronaldinho must have been injured. As for the state, it is the game. Only know.


    Restorative training and formal competitions are definitely two kinds of intensity with huge gaps.


    After Ronaldinho came on the court, there was also a change in Millwall, and Nedved retreated.


    After Bayern Munich''s two full-backs boldly assisted, Sauer and Salihamidzic''s position came alive. The wing forward, winger, front waist area, they were free to move, and the offense rejuvenated.


    But Millwall strengthened the absolute control of the fan-shaped area in front of the goal. Nedved''s retreat was to block the opponent''s connection in the middle. When the opponent was on the sidelines, the ball reached the middle, that is Self-existence.


    "Bayern Munich''s offensive has improved. Frequent offensive attacks on the sidelines. Millwall''s substitutions are really debatable. Ronaldinho touched the ball twice, the ball was broken once, and there was a stoppage error. , His condition really makes people sweat."


    Aldrich knows Ronaldinho, especially seeing his training and competition every day, Ronaldinho''s state is not a problem, he glances at heart.


    The two mistakes did seem to be out of standard, but when he saw Ronaldinho''s impatient attitude, Aldridge was not worried about him.


    The game has come to the 70-minute time point. Bayern Munich players are at the pinnacle of excitement. Regardless of rhythm and speed, they have mentioned the highest grade. Ronaldinho Ronaldo has just started playing and will definitely need a time for excitement to adapt to the game. This time will not be too long. If Ronaldinho still makes a low-level mistake after ten minutes, then this substitution is really broken!


    In the stands of San Siro, Bayern Munich fans tirelessly cheered for the team. Despite their inner anxiety, as time passed, the heart sank, but now it is only 1:0. Bayern Munich only needs one goal to be able to Escape from hell!


    Four days ago, they went to heaven from **** at the last minute in Hamburg!


    Today, they hope the team can replicate such miracles!


    Because Ronaldinho''s point is to gradually increase the threat. After Bayern Munich pressed the offensive, Millwall''s counterattack threatened to decline slightly when Glennshire was on the court.


    Effenberg saw that Nedvide had withdrawn, and Ronaldinho also seemed to be diarrhea today. His offense was only tossing on the side, and there was no threat in the middle. Looking at the time, it has been 75 minutes. I can¡¯t worry about it so much. I rushed and worked hard. I don¡¯t know whether it¡¯s life or death.


    Effenberg rushed to the front line with a golden knife, and cleverly picked a soft persimmon, Pirlo.


    In the first three midfielders of the Millwall defender line, each player is responsible for guarding the area. Effenberg finds a free time to respond. The three people''s defense zone must find the weakest defense. Who is the weakest? There is no dispute that Pirlo.


    As soon as Effenberg went up, Lizarazu passed the ball to him. Effenberg was like a tank crushing Pirlo, and there was a scene on the court that made Adrich feel speechless on the sidelines.


    Pirlo didn¡¯t have much physical confrontation in the whole game. Suddenly he saw Effenberg killing him from the front. Of course, Effenberg¡¯s dribbling was definitely not heading towards Pirlo and breaking through. Of course it was diagonally away from Pirlo. And Pirlo was so eager to see that Effenberg stepped forward to grab the opponent with his body when he passed by. Then, Effenberg continued to move forward, and Pirlo seemed to be bounced a step and fell down on the ground... ¡­


    There is a strong eat on the football field, eat fast with speed, strong with technology, strong with the body.


    Effenberg, even if he eats it with his body? With a weight of almost 180 pounds, Pirlo hits?


    The fans of Bayern Munich were very excited and felt that the Tigers were so **** powerful!


    Keep rushing, keep rushing!


    Effenberg had self-knowledge, and he rushed again, it was absolutely impossible to easily break the closed defense between Gattuso and Nedved.


    Although he himself does not have the top organizational talents, but this time the offense still made a good shot at the right time.


    This ball he saw Elber obliquely inserted Matrazi behind, and then passed the ball to send out, Elber got a half-single shot opportunity!


    But when Elber turned to face the goal and adjusted his pace, he never thought that when Palyuka passed the ball, he decisively abandoned the door and came to three meters in front of Elber. Elber hurriedly With a toe shot in the middle, Palyucabon lowered the center of gravity. At this moment the whole person fell to the ground to block the ball, but the ball bounced under his arm and rolled over.


    Palyuka''s heart shook, and she looked around with chills, screaming that it would not die!


    The ball slowed down after blocking under his arm. Southgate actually cleared the ball on the goal line, and it was obvious that Southgate abandoned the goal at Palyuka and saw that he couldn''t catch up with Egypt. When he was running, he immediately ran towards his gate. He was planning to use his body to block Elber''s shot, and he made it very easy with this kick, because when the ball rolled to the goal, he stood in advance. The location.


    "Elber shot! Southgate! Bayern Munich almost equalized the score, Southgate made a difference, as the captain of Millwall, he appeared in a key position at a critical moment! Eh? Millwall counterattack !"


    Hessfield still regretted the offensive opportunity just now, but there was a picture on the field that made his pupils shrink.


    Southgate''s clearance ball was kicked to the wing, and Zambrotta was deliberately given the ball. The ground was passed to Pirlo at the first time.


    Pirlo actually just got up from the ground, bounced back from him and sat down on the ground, Effenberg made a great pass, Elber shot, Southgate made a clearance, all this happened in a very short time.


    He stood up and saw Zambrotta passing to himself. He stopped the ball and turned to face the frontcourt.


    He seemed to need no observation and calmly passed the ball to the front right.


    Bayern Munich''s wave of attack made the premise of the defender line, unexpectedly Millwall''s counterattack came to him in a blink of an eye.


    Larsson dribble forward immediately after taking the ball, the speed is fast.


    Bayern Munich''s third defender and midfielder Hargreaves both found a fatal problem.


    If they really step back step by step, it is a breeze for Larson to explode the entire line of defense with speed.


    Their teamwork has an amazing tacit understanding.


    When Link lowered his center of gravity to intercept Larson, the other three also kept a good distance for man-to-man defense.


    Larsson looked at the situation in the frontcourt, and I really didn''t expect Bayern Munich to be so well-trained. He could pass Link with speed, but the opponent wanted to force himself to the side. In that case, it would be a big bend. First, the threat is reduced a lot.


    Larsson passed decisively to Henry. Henry did not dare to stop the ball even when Hargreaves was on the spot. It was not that he couldn''t stop the ball, nor that he would be cut off after the ball was stopped, but by Hargreaves. Slovakia sticks, with the lessons of the first half, Hargreaves will definitely take fouls, then a good opportunity for this attack is wasted.


    Henry used his foot arch to push the ball to Ronaldinho on the left.


    Ronaldinho ran wildly before receiving the ball. He has been replaced for more than ten minutes. His body has run hot, the ball feel is familiar, and his opponent''s rhythm is also clear. Now, it is time for him to show his strength!


    In front of him, Koufal, Ronaldinho drew the ball, and the ball with his right foot drove forward to the right. Kufuor was startled and watched Ronaldinho''s movements. Was Nima going to use the cow tail?


    Kufuor did not dare to move the center of gravity easily, but took a half step back, and Kufuer was furious!


    Ronaldinho didn''t need to flick his tail at all.


    With a red card, Kufuer barely fell down and made a tackle. Ronaldinho moved lightly, but the pace of the ball was still disrupted. Kufuor''s toe touched the ball, and the ball was in Ronaldinho. Bounced on the arch of the foot and turned into a bounce earth.


    The ball is still within Ronaldinho''s control. He sees a Bayern Munich defender, Anderson!


    In the days of injury, Ronaldinho has already recorded the main characteristics of each defender of Bayern Munich. Anderson is generally a defensive front. He is good at supplementary defense. Kufuer has been passed, and Anderson suddenly killed. It is not surprising.


    The ball fell together, and the height of the ground was only half a meter. Ronaldinho met Anderson, but he was shocked to see Anderson''s expression, as if he had been cast.


    Ronaldinho seemed to skip the ball, passing directly beside him, but at the moment of passing by, Ronaldinho''s back heel knocked the ball into the air.


    Rainbow is amazing!


    The ball flew over Anderson''s head, like an elf controlled by Ronaldinho, naughty and excited.


    Anderson braked, and when he turned back, Ronaldinho was already three meters away with the ball.


    Ronaldinho''s eyes contain a blazing light, and what his eyes see is the goal of Bayern Munich, where there stands a man like God in the position of today''s football goalkeeper!


    1:0!


    Bayern Munich really has a chance to make a comeback.


    Bayern Munich did start to fight each other.


    The next goal will determine life and death.


    Bayern Munich scored, everything was overturned.


    Millwall scored, according to Millwall''s play today, the champion will be firmly in the pocket.


    Ronaldinho''s dribbling speed has reached the extreme, and the powerful figure in his eyes makes him wary.


    Lion King Kahn, we have a decisive victory!

 Chapter 642： Super header

    Ronaldinho, who had several mistakes before, worried the fans in the stands, but in this wave of attacks, Ronaldinho traveled to Kufu and was interfered by the opponent''s ground tackle. Made the next extraordinary action, brilliant and dazzling rainbow!


    This is where a player is exceptionally talented.


    I have only talked about human movements and skills, not to mention professional players. Ordinary people practice it, and they can do almost the same in ordinary situations, but they are used in the game, especially when the players do actions are subconscious behaviors, there is no Time to choose or prepare, whether or not to pass, how to connect actions, is an instinct!


    Just like Henry''s ball forward, it was definitely not that he deliberately did it, but the body first started the speed, and the football did not land. In order to change the rhythm and delay the time before the ball landed, subconsciously chose to use the Way to drive the ball forward.


    Ronaldinho, who has taken the trip continuously, has no doubt that his continuous actions are his talents. Players without excellent talents will take the trip and the rainbow to the extreme. I am afraid that they cannot be used reasonably in the game, especially It was used without thinking.


    A roar sounded from the San Siro stand.


    Crazy lion fans waved their arms excitedly, waved the flag, and cheered Ronaldinho with a greasy expression.


    Go to the meeting alone!


    Fans of Bayern Munich began to pray, and some fans did not dare to watch the final result of this attack and defense.


    The narrator also began to cry wildly. After seeing the performance of the small Logitech four seats, this excellent opportunity continued. If you can¡¯t break the door, the previous performance will be greatly discounted. If you can break the door, then this will be the field. The game, the UEFA Champions League this season, another wonderful goal.


    Kahn, standing in front of the door, did not rush to move the position. Shen Jing''s sharp eyes were observing Ronaldinho''s dribbling route and dribbling speed. Then, when Ronaldinho was 5 yards away from the penalty area, Kahn moved!


    Aldridge saw Kahn suddenly abandon the door and sighed in his heart that Lion King Kahn is worthy of today''s top goalkeeper in Europe. The timing of his attack can no longer be perfect.


    In the face of a single-handed ball, the timing of the goalkeeper giving up the goal is very important. Early out, the opponent easily hangs the door, and late out, the angle cannot be sealed.


    There is no fixed pattern for such timing. After all, there are variables in the speed of the goalkeeper''s movement, the speed and line of the offensive dribbling player.


    This time, Kahn chose the best opportunity to attack. During the attack, Ronaldinho hanged the door for the first time. Kahn definitely had the opportunity to go back and block the ball, and Ronaldinho slowed down and waited for the card. En comes up, the players who chase back later may also destroy Ronaldinho''s single-handed ball.


    But Ronaldinho didn''t slow down at all. He and Kahn seemed to be striking each other at two points and one line, and had a head-to-head confrontation.


    In the process of the distance between the two shrinking, Ronaldinho''s shooting angle is also getting smaller and smaller. Kahn''s defensive area is continuously expanding, as long as he is within the defensive range, to prevent Ronaldinho''s shooting, rely on Is the reaction.


    What will Ronaldinho do?


    All fans, countless audiences around the world have such doubts.


    Have you ever lost the goalkeeper? Or adjust the center of gravity of the opponent to shoot again?


    Ronaldinho''s choice is very simple, and it is a way out of line with his style of play.


    violence!


    When it was only three meters away from Kahn, Ronaldinho shot angrily!


    This time in a head-to-head confrontation with Kahn, Ronaldinho did not use the ball control skills. When he wanted to come, this time to decide the outcome, there is no need to play with flowers.


    Just like a cowboy duel, a head-to-head confrontation, whose gun is fast, whose gun is accurate, who is standing, the opponent falls down!


    boom!


    Kahn made a save action for the first time, and he flew in the right direction, to his left.


    However, on the way out, his palms had not reached the route where the ball flew, and the ball had already flew behind him.


    Kahn turned his head to look in the air, and his eyes, blooming with unparalleled ambition, slowly closed.


    He abandoned the goal and only blocked the shooting angle to the maximum extent. It was impossible to seal the entire goal. Ronaldinho''s shot was outside his blocked area. This time the head-on confrontation, Kahn, lost , The ball, burst into the upper right corner of the goal, the dead end!


    "Ronaldinho defeated Kahn! His shot hit the goal dead end, no one can save, no one! 2:0, Millwall led Bayern Munich by two goals, the European Champions League defending success is close at hand !"


    San Siro turned into a sea of ??mad lions celebrating, Ronaldinho''s expression changed dramatically after seeing the goal, as if from a brave warrior to an elf enjoying the fun of the world, he shook his head and ran to the side of the court. The smile conveys inner happiness to every Millwall.


    The teammates ran to Ronaldinho. This time, under Ronaldinho''s lead, they twisted their bodies in unison and danced lightly.


    Lion fans in the stands saw their team dancing happily on the sidelines. The bright smiles on the faces of each player made the atmosphere particularly pleasant. Those fans who were excited and roared calmed down and simply enjoyed this. Happy, and then applause to the team.


    Less than 15 minutes away from Millwall''s success in defending the Champions League. At the pinnacle of such a club''s history, Millwall showed the joy of football, presented it to the world, and passed it to everyone who loves football.


    At this time, Aldridge was already pulling a player''s ears to raise his face. When the team celebrated the end and walked back to the halftime, Aldridge made a calm gesture with a calm expression.


    Hold on, don''t relax!


    At 1:0, Millwall''s enemy was the counterattack Bayern Munich.


    At 2:0, Millwall¡¯s enemies are only themselves!


    As long as it is not slack, victory will be firmly in their own hands.


    Heathfield was expressionless and filled with loss of heart.


    If it was said that the double killing by Millwall last year was a tactical knockdown, then today the two goals were completely knocked down by Millwall technically!


    Because tactically, Bayern Munich has well restricted Millwall at the expense of offense, but the sudden explosion of personal abilities of Henry and Ronaldinho has knocked Bayern Munich down the abyss.


    Heathfield believes that this Millwall is too terrifying, and its tactical ability is ahead of UEFA football, and some of the players¡¯ personal abilities have also reached super first-class, but not every player has super first-class standards. Credit to the team.


    To achieve the peak of the team''s tactical power, it is necessary to find a balance between individuals and teams. Too many individuals will inevitably destroy the team. This is actually very simple, like Maradona. Messi, Zidane, etc. A group of players with different positions but really talented people put together. Will such a team really be very, very strong?


    Heathfield began to make substitution adjustments, Millwall also began to make substitutions.


    Bayern Munich is a striker and Millwall is a midfielder.


    "Pirlo was replaced and replaced by French teenager Pedretti."


    Aldridge and Pirlo gave a high-five celebration, then pointed to Nedved, and the other nodded to Aldridge to show that he understood.


    Bayern Munich is obviously going to attack aggressively, and Millwall''s response is also very simple, 7-man defense, Trident waiting for a chance to fight back.


    Now Millwall''s team thinking is very unified, the formation is retracted, and the Trident is no exception. When attacking, it is no problem to start from the center and backcourt. After all, the frontcourt space is very large.


    Fans of the Lions in the stands have sang their songs on their shoulders, ready to greet Millwall to win the third Champions League trophy.


    "The Bayern Munich team is overwhelming, Millwall shrank half-time defense, although both teams are top teams, but we can still find the gap between the two teams from the details. When Bayern Munich mainly compressed the backcourt space When energy is defensive, Millwall can calmly control the ball in the periphery and patiently pass and cooperate, while Bayern Munich is actively attacking. When Millwall is actively defending, this position is a tough battle. Bayern Munich''s side is connected to the middle. It¡¯s very difficult to get up. This is the gap between the two teams¡¯ ability to create opportunities."


    In the 83rd minute, Lizarazu broke through the bottom and swept the ball in front of the goal. Palyuka rushed out before Elber and rushed to the ground to save. There was no fear that his head might collide with Elber''s foot.


    Elber himself had a lingering fear. If he closed his foot for a second, he might kick Palyuka''s body, and it was Palyuka''s fearless save that made Elber make a last blow. hesitate.


    Palyuka got up and rushed directly to the line of the penalty area, bypassing the players of Bayern Munich and throwing the ball to the right of the midfield in front of the line of the penalty area.


    Lizzarazu chased back at full speed, but Larson''s starting position was too far away from him. After receiving the Palyuka toss, Larsen crossed to Henry, who then passed to Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho kept the ball, took a good pass, and passed the ball straight to the right of the frontcourt.


    Larsson rushed forward after passing the ball. When Ronaldinho took the ball, Larsson was parallel to Kufuor who was dragging behind. When the foot was over the top and the ball was flying in the air, Larsson had turned inward. , Leaving the Bayern Munich defender line four or five meters away.


    "Millwall has another golden opportunity! Ronaldinho''s wide field of vision comes with a good pass, and Larson faces Kahn with a single pole!"


    The ball fell outside the penalty area, but Larson was obviously unable to catch the ball when it landed. Kahn directly abandoned the goal and planned to destroy it before the ball landed for the second time.


    Larson and Kahn chase the ball at the same time, but Larson''s chance is obviously better than Kahn. When the ball bounces and then bounces back, Larson has already chased the ball, and Kahn is two meters away in front of him.


    Larson couldn''t let the ball fall to the ground anymore. He jumped up directly and pressed the ball hard with his forehead!


    Kahn didn''t expect Larson to shoot in this way.


    This is outside the big restricted area!


    But the ball flew over his head, Kahn turned his head, and his heart was cold.


    Is this **** a super header?

 Chapter 643： Three crowns in four years

    When the ball flew into Bayern Munich''s goal for the third time, Bayern Munich fans in the San Siro stands invariably lowered their heads and closed their eyes.


    The 25-year wait is not over yet, and we still have to wait!


    Considering the overall age of this Bayern Munich player, these three years are already at their peak, and the two-year finals in the three years cannot be beaten by the cup, which may make many players unbearable.


    How much potential does this team have?


    There really isn''t much, unless a relatively young player like Hargreaves quickly improves his strength. Take Hargreaves as an example. How long will his ability exceed Jeremys at this time? Even if his potential is higher than Jeremys, when his strength surpasses Jeremys, are the strengths of other Bayern Munich players still at their peak?


    Losing this time will be the end point of a period of construction for Bayern Munich. It is not that they are not strong. They can only be said that they have encountered a stronger Millwall.


    Larson stood up in front of Kahn and ran out his tongue to celebrate.


    Millwall fans in San Siro are crazy.


    3: 0!


    There is no suspense in the outcome!


    The narrator was marveling at Larsson''s long header, the fans were binging, and Audridge roared into the sky with impunity.


    It can be declared that Millwall has successfully defended the Champions League!


    There are still five minutes left in the game. Although Bayern Munich is still attacking, they dare not invest too much. I am afraid that they will be hit again and lose the ball. 3:0 is a fiasco. If there are more goals, it will be slaughtered. Now!


    In the 88th minute, Millwall used the last substitution to delay the time. It was Klose who was put on the field and Larson was the next person.


    At the end of this substitution, Heathfield suddenly got up and walked to Aldridge. When he came to him, he extended his hand and said, "Congratulations to you and your team."


    Aldrich held his hand with the other side and said solemnly: "Thank you, since we stepped onto the European Championship, we very much cherish the mobile phone meeting with Bayern Munich, and the experience gained from playing with you is very precious."


    This is by no means Aldridge''s lip service, pretentiously humble.


    Without a strong opponent, there is no strong self, and the abuse of vegetables is a hundred times better than the experience improvement brought about by a dialogue of the strong.


    Fought with Bayern Munich five times in three years, and it was Bayern Munich at the peak of a period. Millwall learned a lot from his opponents, especially the outstanding team spirit of Bayern Munich itself, tacit cooperation, and so on. Only when the strong man moves, will his weaknesses and weaknesses be magnified indefinitely, thereby making up for the improvement and further strengthening his strength.


    After Heathfield walked back to the coach seat, Aldridge was already full of people. The coaches, players, and everyone were waiting for the whistle to finish, and then rushed into the field to celebrate.


    The injury stoppage time was only 2 minutes. This time passed quickly. When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, San Siro burst into a roar of a mad lion.


    The European Champions Cup, the ninth successful defending team was born!


    "At the end of the match, defending champion Millwall defeated Bayern Munich 3-0. At San Siro Stadium, we witnessed Millwall''s third European Championship in four seasons and witnessed Millwall''s completion of the defending. The most honorable feat of European clubs, the last team that could defend the Champions League was AC Milan 11 years ago. At that time, AC Milan started a period of Milan dynasty. Now we have reason to believe that the giants Millwall from England , Has created an era of mad lion, let''s call it the mad lion dynasty! Congratulations Millwall, congratulations to Audridge Hall, they carved their names in the legendary history of world football Now, they can enjoy this glorious moment, and many fans are probably in the same mood as me. I look forward to the coming of the Champions League next season. We want to see for ourselves how long the mad lion dynasty can last. Today¡¯s success, whether Is it already the limit of Millwall?"


    At the end of the game, Millwall players invariably clenched their fists with their hands above their heads, a bit like the winner of the boxing ring.


    Palyuka took off her gloves excitedly and flicked it, then rushed in front of Southgate and jumped onto him.


    This is definitely a season that Palyuca himself could not have imagined six months ago.


    At the beginning of the season, he transferred to Bologna and served his hometown team. He has determined that it is the final destination of his career. However, during the winter transfer period, he took his luggage to London and started a new journey. Despite the weather and environment, Life makes him feel inconvenient, but the team he can play for has made him feel a new passion and arouse the memories of his youth.


    In five months, he has harvested two important championship trophies. Palyuka really appreciates the team''s ability to harvest trophies. At the same time, personal club achievements have reached a new peak.


    Champions League in Europe!


    The other players all walked to the sidelines with a real reputation to give up who they are. According to the tradition, they thanked the fans. They were more excited and calm than they were when they won the championship.


    This stems from their strong self-confidence, and only Gattuso, Klose is excited to find his teammates to hug and celebrate.


    Ronaldinho and Henry walked to the side of the court together. The two took off their jerseys, kissed them and threw them into the stands. They did not intend to exchange jerseys with Bayern Munich players. They did not look down on each other, but compared to their opponents. In the time, they felt that the support of the fans was deeply moved, and the cause was the racial discrimination in Elland Road Stadium.


    Aldridge stood on the sidelines, and the people around him rushed into the court to revel.


    He had also planned to rush in, but he couldn''t step in.


    With a sigh, a wry smile appeared at the corner of the mouth.


    Who is to blame?


    I am not ambitious yet, I blame it!


    According to the practice of the previous season, today''s game is over and a season is over. Aldrich can release all work pressure to celebrate, vent, and forget all the worries, and then take a good rest and isolate from World, enjoy the space of yourself and your family.


    But at this moment, the thought that came to his mind was actually: a week later, the English national team still has a friendly match!


    This is a working instinct. After a game is over, the mind will immediately shift to the next game on the schedule.


    After the players celebrated each other on the court, they did not see Aldridge, so they looked for him and saw Aldridge walked into the field with an elegant smile step by step. They came to Aldridge involuntarily and formed a circle A lap.


    Everyone had a smile on their faces, like a child who proved to parents that he was proud.


    Aldridge looked around and smiled easily: ¡°As I said, no team can beat you. If we want to enjoy such a moment, then we should be diligent on the basis of self-confidence. Forget it, today we celebrate , It¡¯s enough to celebrate, come!"


    Papa!


    Aldridge bent down after clapping his hands, and the players all bent down, laughing and making a low noise.


    Woo...


    The voice went from low to high, and when it turned into loud cheers, they straightened their arms and waved to the sky together.


    Looking down, like a blooming flower.


    The players of Bayern Munich have been watching Millwall celebrating next to them. Many people sat on the ground, their eyes dumb and numb, and their teammates or coaches came to comfort them. They all seemed to have disappeared.


    99 years, 01 years, two consecutive Champions League runners-up, this blow is too big!


    The fans of Bayern Munich in the stands are mostly lost, but today''s loss to Millwall, the reason why the blow was heavy, or because of the defeat of the two finals in three years, simply saying that this game, Bayern Munich lost nothing to say, that is The skills are not as good as others, and there is no dispute.


    Most of the neutral fans are Italian fans. After enjoying the game, they are in a complicated mood.


    Millwall, who had annihilated the Serie A giants, successfully defended his title on Italian soil.


    And they have five Italian players starting!


    In addition to Paliuka¡¯s age at the retirement countdown, the other four Italian players, Pirlo, Gattuso, Materazzi, Zambrotta, were all in the midst of their years in Millwall. Successfully proved their excellence. Although their personal abilities, like Materazzi and Gattuso, are not yet superb, but such players cannot actually play in the league of the motherland, which makes Serie A, known as the world¡¯s first league, really. Some faces are dull.


    Regardless of which club these fans support in Italy, more Italian fans are in a similar mood. Clubs that need to be recruited. If they have the financial resources, the fans hope to bring home the "Italian children" in Millwall. .


    During the award ceremony, Aldridge whispered with UEFA President Johansson on the podium for a short time.


    The content of the conversation between the two was mainly about the racial discrimination in Elland Road. UEFA¡¯s ticket has been issued, and Leeds United has been fined 200,000 pounds. At the same time, Bower was suspended in Europe for 6 games. The side stands are the side stands where the mass racism of the fans broke out.


    If the penalty players are suspended, the visual impact is only competitive strength, but closing the stands and fines directly affects Leeds United¡¯s economic income.


    Johansson hopes that Aldridge will calm down and stop investigating. It¡¯s better not to mention this in the future. After all, with Aldrich¡¯s current achievements and attention, if he grasps it, it will naturally become news. Hot spots.


    The penalty, UEFA will be fined, after the penalty? I hope this matter will end. The negative impact of racial discrimination is too great. UEFA does not want its brand to be negatively hit.


    Aldrich promised Johansson that the matter will not be raised again.


    As far as matters are concerned, UEFA has not favored anyone. They can''t commit recurring incidents. If they insist on this, it will offend everyone''s anger.

 Chapter 644： Success and calmness

    At the end of the Premier League season, the FA''s ticket to Leeds was officially issued. In addition to fines such as UEFA and the stand being closed, the most important thing is the penalty for Bowyer, which is suspended for 10 games.


    Leeds United refused to accept the appeal and the hearing will be held in the future, but if Leeds United fails to appeal, Bowyer''s suspension will be extended.


    Aldrich only pays close attention to these things, and will not keep on fanfare. It is neither necessary nor distracting.


    Why bother to spend energy on scum?


    San Siro, Millwall won the club''s third European Championship trophy.


    In the VIP box at the scene, in fact, many European club representatives watched the ball here, Andrew also sits here, they will have some exchanges from time to time.


    The competition was over and the awards ceremony process was over. The representatives of these clubs left one after another. Only Andrew was sitting in the box, smoking a cigar and drinking red wine. A series of exaggerated numbers were left in the work notebook.


    He was waiting for Aldridge to celebrate and had time to spare, and then had a good talk with Aldridge.


    On the court, the players ran around holding the championship trophy, like fans, family, friends to show their achievements, especially the Italian players, they left Italy very early, rushed outside, the club achievements achieved during the same period without an Italian The club can be compared.


    At the end of the celebration, the players took a group photo with the coaching staff.


    Aldridge has taken off his suit and sat in the court with a big ear cup in his arms. Behind him, Southgate, Larson, Nedved, Schneider, Pirlo and other players stretched out with a smile. The shot is more like a "three" gesture.


    Ronaldinho, Henry, Zambrotta, Materazzi, Bute and other players showed a "two" gesture.


    Gattuso and Palyuca only extended one finger, but the smile on his face was obviously happier.


    Their gestures are clear at a glance.


    Some players have played three Champions League finals and won three Champions League championships, some players have only played twice, and like Gattuso, in fact, he has three Champions League in the championship honor book, but before he was Mark Lai Lai''s substitute, he only admits that he won the championship as an absolute main force.


    Aldridge didn''t make any gestures, just smiled with his hands holding the trophy, and let the photographer take a picture that would surely be a good story.


    After the celebration of San Siro, the Millwall team returned to London, and then there will be a team bus celebration parade.


    On the plane, the players drove champagne and continued their carnival unscrupulously, taking pictures with their cameras, Aldridge regardless of them, playing cards with Jenson and Klinsmann to kill time, everyone was not drowsy and excited.


    It is late at night to return to London, but there are still many fans outside the airport to welcome the crazy lion returning from the championship!


    The fans cheered the names of each player, and the players carrying luggage were also energetic. Seeing local fans waiting for their return late at night, they stepped forward to meet the expectations of the fans to take a photo and sign.


    When Aldridge came home, the lights were still on, and Burt and Earl ran wildly in the living room. The UEFA Champions League final was still being played back on TV. Ewen was tired and lying on the side of the sofa. It is estimated that these two little guys made her bother.


    Seeing Aldridge come back, Burt and Earl rushed into his arms, almost knocked Aldridge back and fell to the ground, the two sons talked about the wonderful game, Aldridge smiled and won the championship Take out the medals and plan to give them.


    But neither Burt nor Earl just took the medal in his hand and returned it to Aldridge after a while, saying it was useless.


    Aldridge laughed dumbly. It is estimated that the two sons still do not understand what the medals mean, they have no entertainment value, and they are not as good as their toys.


    Ewen walked in front of Aldridge and said with a smile: "How does it feel now? Mr. Champion."


    Aldrich closed her eyes as if feeling her inner feelings, and finally shook her head: "Although it is very beautiful, the string in my heart is still stretched. Now I suddenly regret it. The part-time national team coach is not me As easy as you think."


    The club''s work is based on the season, but the national team is different. It is based on a competition.


    Yiwen hooked his neck and smiled: "Just now Carter called and asked you to go out to celebrate. I wanted to push you back when I came back, but now I have changed my mind. Go, celebrate with Carter and have fun. Playing with your heart is also a relaxation."


    Aldrich couldn¡¯t sleep anyway. Carter usually asked him to go outside. They were some more leisure activities. Playing tennis, golf, billiards, playing poker, private gambling, or going fishing. Without indulgence, he could achieve relaxation. the goal of.


    "How about you?"


    "I''m sleepy, go for yourself."


    Ewen also took Burt and Earl upstairs after finishing the talk. Tomorrow these two little guys will be sent to Liverpool to live in Melanie¡¯s parents¡¯ house for a while.


    Aldrich knew that Ewen was not at ease when the child was at home but no adults watched.


    He went upstairs to take a simple bath, changed his casual clothes, and then called Carter. Tonight Carter was hosting a party at a friend¡¯s house. They were all friends circles who met with Aldridge. They watched the Champions League final together. They bet on the game to entertain them. When the game is over, they want to bring Audridge over. The top wine and food are ready.


    Aldridge received a call from Andrew on the way to drive. Andrew did not expect Aldrich to be at home. He heard that there was an event, so he had to join.


    Although Aldridge is not too familiar with Carter in this social circle, he is not a passerby after all, so Aldridge agreed to let Andrew also go with him.


    Carter''s party was in a mansion on the outskirts. The mansion owner was a lady in the financial circle of London, and he met Aldridge during a fishing trip.


    When Aldridge arrived, Andrew arrived one step ahead and greeted these people, all sitting at the table.


    "Hi, Aldridge!"


    People in the hall greeted Aldridge, and some came out and said bluntly: "Millwall is great tonight, I made 200,000 pounds. Haha, hug."


    Aldridge replied with a smile: "The next time I will give you the money, you help me bet and give you a 10% dividend."


    "Okay!"


    Now Aldridge doesn¡¯t want to bet on football games. The employees¡¯ gaming companies will refuse to bet, and if they find help from relatives, they will freeze their accounts.


    Although it is not impossible, but it is more troublesome to go around the world, Aldridge''s words are just jokes.


    Feeling a little hungry, Audridge felt a little hungry, and walked directly to the dining table, picked up a clean plate, and then tasted the food.


    Carter brought a glass of wine to Aldridge and smiled: "If the table is not appetizing, I call the chef, you can order it."


    Aldridge picked up the wine and picked up a big lobster. He smiled and said, "Which restaurant did you hire the famous chef?"


    "I don''t know, Nefline asked."


    Neveline is the hostess of this villa. They need food for the party. They have always invited the famous chefs in the city to serve them locally.


    Aldridge looked into the slightly quieter side hall. Neveline, in an elegant black dress, was playing darts with a person. This woman is over thirty years old, but reveals a cold and fierce temperament. It is famous in the circle, usually entertaining, playing beautiful darts, and the psychological warfare on the table is very little bluff, and the gas field is amazing.


    I saw her throwing darts ruthlessly in the face, in the middle of the bullseye, the opponent next to him was a young handsome guy, applauding for her, but Neferine turned her head and looked into the hall, facing Aldridge''s sight, she smiled, Then pointed to the target of the indicator, meaning that Aldridge waited for a game with her.


    "Haha, she likes to do this kind of prestige. She builds her sense of accomplishment on the triumph of defeating successful people, ha ha ha."


    Carter smiled and laughed, but Aldridge shrugged: "She can''t do it tonight."


    "Huh? Did you practice darts at home?"


    "No, I''m running out of bed."


    "Then you have confidence?"


    "I don''t want to compare with her."


    Carter is speechless, the lady invites, but Aldridge can refuse without changing his face, Dasha scenery, this is the only thing that can be done by Aldridge.


    After a while, Nivelyn came to sit next to Aldridge, lit a cigarette, and threw it to Aldridge, and asked softly, "What about Ewen?"


    "It''s more tiring, rest at home."


    "She is at ease with you, oh no, it is indulgence."


    "Oh, should I be controlled by a woman?"


    "A man is not derailed, outside will say that women are in strict control, a man is derailed, outside will say that women are too stupid. What do you think?"


    Aldridge took the cigarette and lit it, taking a sip, his expression smiling, but very speechless.


    Nie Flin looked at him speechless and seemed to have the victorious victor in her eyes. She knew that Aldridge would definitely not play darts with herself today. In other ways, she could still feel a sense of victory.


    Carter shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Nifflin, your hobby is very perverted, and I especially like to make the other person depressed when others are proud."


    Nephrine poured a glass of wine with a light smile, and said inadvertently, "Is it? Maybe. I just hate seeing others smug."


    Aldridge thought deeply, and suddenly felt that a successful woman such as Nevelin was not relying on a face. Before, she also heard that Carter said that her employees were almost tortured by her to become a masochist. Maybe she specializes Fighting against others just keeps the other person calm and don¡¯t get rid of it. Especially in the financial circle, stories of joy and grief happen every day.


    "Your brother, Andrew, he should have something to do with you."


    Aldridge looked weird and turned his head to look at the table in the corner of the hall. Andrew played there, there was no sense of existence. How did Nie Flinn notice him?


    "Do you want to make a bet? I think people are always accurate. He definitely has something to do with you."


    Nie Flin''s playful smile made Aldridge directly refused to bet, although there was no evidence, but intuitively told himself, really bet, the other side won.


    Before coming, Andrew didn''t say anything on the phone, and Aldridge didn''t think about it too much. He felt that Andrew might not be able to fall asleep.


    Nivelyn was about to leave, but Aldridge suddenly said, "Hey, would you have any thoughts about my brother?"


    Nephrine froze for a moment, and immediately asked, "Can''t it?"


    "Uh, okay."


    After Aldridge finished speaking, Nephrin left with a smile.


    Carter and Aldridge looked at each other, lamenting for Andrew, but then their eyes became strange again.


    Nivelin, a successful lady, although her net worth has not yet exceeded 100 million, but ¡ê60-70 million cannot run, this kind of person will not fall in love with men because of material needs.


    In this way, Andrew can be seen by her, and Audridge and Carter have complicated thoughts in their hearts.


    What''s so good about that kid?


    Aldridge shook his head and sighed again, unable to figure it out, now he cares more about what Andrew has to do with himself.


    After thinking about it, Aldridge felt that he should be able to predict the answer.

 Chapter 645： Opposition and future

    Yue Lang Xing Xing, in the back garden of Nivelin¡¯s mansion, Aldridge was sitting on a swing woven by flowers and vines, smoking with one hand and drinking with wine. After two hours, dawn would come, and many people in the villa had already stumbled. Falling asleep, and he, when the tiredness struck, was vaguely thinking about the past season.


    Suddenly someone sat down next to him. The two-person swing and two big men sat down. I didn''t know if there was any problem with the weight bearing. The hanger made a creaking noise.


    Andrew lit a cigarette with Aldridge''s cigarette **** and asked with a smile: "How do you feel like you are being drained?"


    Aldridge smiled bitterly and said, "I thought this season would be very easy. I can devote my energy to serve as the national team coach, but many unplanned things have happened."


    At the beginning of the season, Nedved was seriously injured. Although Aldridge replaced Klose, Klose and Nedvide were not the same type of players, so they had to spend energy to rebuild an offensive system and Gattuso stopped halfway. For a month in the game, the thinness of the lower back position also made him dare not take it lightly, plus the work of the England national team to rebuild. This season, Aldridge is more difficult than previous seasons. Eye puffiness, or getting up late, and even have the idea of ??wanting to escape from work.


    The success of the football circle is no different from the success laws of all walks of life in the world, hard work is one of the basic conditions.


    Like the talented star of hope, the talents don''t pay sweat to work hard, and the end may not even hurt Zhong Yong.


    The same goes for the head coach.


    Andrew can''t understand the helplessness that Aldridge said. Although he works hard, he has a lot of flexibility and is tired. He can arrange a short holiday at any time to relax.


    "What are your plans for the future?"


    Aldridge kicked his legs slightly and the swing swayed. He said softly: "Next season, try to reach a new glory height. If the league and the Champions League can continue to defend, I will take the England national team to play in the World Cup in Asia. As long as the club¡¯s goals are achieved, regardless of the performance of the national team, I plan to step down from the position of head coach and spend more time with my family in the future."


    Andrew looked surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt reasonable.


    If Millwall can continue to maintain the glory of these two seasons next season, Aldridge has won five Premier League championships, four Champions League championships, four consecutive Premier League championships, three consecutive Champions League championships and eight others in power. There are countless trophies. The glory of these eight years is enough to be recorded in history. In the next hundred years, people will remember that in the years at the turn of this century, this will belong to the era of a team and the era of a head coach. .


    As for Aldridge''s claim to be with his family, is this an excuse?


    Andrew still can''t realize it, but Aldridge is a reincarnated person, adding up to fifty years before and after, he really wants to be with his family in the next few years, especially the two sons are not like a year ago, only need to understand Adults take care of them, they can say that they will run now, and they need more care and education from adults. Aldrich doesn¡¯t think this is a burden, because with their family, they are really carefree and happy.


    Hearing Aldridge saying this, Andrew started to speak.


    Aldridge looked at Andrew''s stern expression and smiled: "Just say what you want, it''s nothing more than other players who want to dig me."


    Andrew nodded, which is not difficult to guess.


    Many of Millwall¡¯s players are two-time and three-time players who dominate Europe. Their strength has reached an absolutely unquestionable height. Other giants may have concerns before. Now, the only problem is: you can¡¯t buy it. !


    "Aldrich, did you foresee this day long ago? Me and you, there will be conflicts of interest, standing on opposite sides."


    Aldridge smiled with his head tilted and said nothing.


    Andrew has been helping him to collect players, but one day, the two brothers will be clearly opposed at the negotiating table. This day has finally arrived, and in the future, such opposition will become more intense.


    "Real Madrid will offer 40 million pounds in the summer, Henry, Ronaldinho, choose one of two, the weekly salary has reached 100,000 pounds. Pirlo, the top three in northern Italy offer 30 million pounds, weekly salary, 80,000 Between pounds and 100,000 pounds. I won¡¯t say anything about other players. Regardless of the transfer fee or salary, I have to talk to you. Otherwise, I¡¯m in the broker¡¯s business and I can¡¯t get along.¡±


    This conversation made Andrew feel uncomfortable.


    As an agent, he just wants to earn higher income for players and get better treatment.


    The broker must also be very realistic.


    It can¡¯t be said that if the player can win the championship at Millwall, all the gains and losses will be offset. If he does so, the player is not stupid. He earns a million pounds a year and five million in five years. Who will be happy for four or five million pounds?


    The champion is the champion, and the income is the income.


    What''s more, when the Millwall champion got a soft hand, the thought of the champion will also decline relative to the past. Of course, he wants to get a higher return on income, which is normal.


    Millwall''s salary expenditure is already the highest in the Premier League, but they cannot give all the main players the highest salary. If that is the case, the club''s operating income throughout the season cannot cover the salary expenditure.


    Aldrich has money, but he hasn''t reached the point where he is rich. The big brother''s company has his shares.


    But if he runs a club and pours money into it every year, will he be happy? No one wants to have less and less money.


    And other big clubs, even if Millwall can''t do the best salary for all the main players, but it is no problem to dig up a good Millwall player and give top salary.


    The top three in northern Italy are willing to give Pirlo a weekly salary of 100,000. If Millwall wants to increase Pirlo''s salary to 100,000, the entire wage system must be greatly improved. Nedved must also raise their salary, otherwise What? The soul of the team, the spiritual leader on the field, but not the highest-paid player, is it reasonable? The disparity in the internal salary structure is even greater, which can easily cause chaos in the locker room.


    Andrew cannot ignore the offers made by these clubs.


    Pirlo¡¯s weekly salary in Millwall is only 50,000 pounds. Counting the loyalty reward is almost 70,000 pounds. As an agent, how can you persuade players not to be tempted? Change one hundred agents, and one hundred agents will put pressure on the club to either raise their salary or let go!


    The pre-season Henry transfer turmoil also stems from this. Juventus privately paid Henry a salary of more than 70,000 pounds. The information that Henry obtained from the original brokerage population is that Millwall only gave 30,000. How can he not be chilled?


    Millwall''s current situation is divided into two situations. One is that the player has absolute loyalty to the club. As long as the club does not do things to the extent that they are undecided, the player will refuse to be tempted, and feel at ease to stay in the club, such as Nedvi Germany, Larson, Ronaldinho, these players, they can offer loyalty without reservation.


    Another situation is that players have no firm determination to stay for a long time due to competition or life. Then, when an olive branch that meets the player''s long-term life plan is sent to the front, it is a reasonable opportunity for them to leave.


    Aldrich never thought about Pirlo. Gattuso, an Italian player, could finish his career at Millwall. When they became a family, they would return to Italy and develop in a more familiar environment. This is also human nature. It''s a pity that it''s not ten years later, when the Serie A decayed to the stage where the star fled, the Italian players will go abroad to make money and get a more generous return.


    Before AC Milan recruited Mr. "X", Aldridge heard the wind from Andrew. Pirlo, Gattuso, Zambrotta and other Italian players are already considering returning to the country.


    Starting from the long-term construction of the team, the growth of players such as Lampard, Ashley Cole and Alonso can fill the vacancies after their departure. Although they can not be seamlessly connected, at least they are not a green and blue situation.


    The only worry is the position of the centre-back.


    "Since I have considered retiring after the end of next season, then next season, I need the team to be absolutely stable. Andrew, I can¡¯t sell a main force this summer. They only renewed the contract last year. They have to go. Waiting for another season, they also let I arrange for the club to have a preparation process in the future, I will not make it difficult for you, individual players, I will convince them."


    "If you leave Millwall as head coach, I''m afraid..."


    "I''m afraid what? Millwall''s record will plummet?"


    "Ok."


    "I think it should not be so. In the past seven years, the club has established a perfect youth training system, and there are talent selection channels to attract young players around the world. The club is financially healthy. It¡¯s normal, but it¡¯s certainly stable among the giants.¡±


    Aldridge still has confidence in this.


    Millwall continues to operate in a virtuous circle. With the maturity of the football market, Millwall can gain more and more commercial benefits, and the club¡¯s long-term development of the financial base is relatively stable, although it is still inferior to local tyrants. This kind of investment, but wins in health, long-term flow.


    As for Aldrich retired from the head coach, only as the boss, he does not expect to make money from the club, as long as he does not invest money, he is satisfied.


    Sounds incredible, does not invest money, is the team''s record guaranteed?


    Yes, contemporary football is undergoing a crazy baptism of money.


    The club itself makes a small amount of money, but businessmen make a lot of money, that is, financing and listing, using the financial circle to circulate money.


    Only commercialized clubs with a certain scale can realize their own profits. For example, Manchester United, now Millwall, even Real Madrid can¡¯t compare with it. Florentino is in Real Madrid, and is frantically creating the Real Madrid brand and shaping. Brand new Real Madrid brand value.


    British fans have scolded the Edwards family for nearly half a century, thinking that it has turned a Manchester United football club into a nondescript investment commodity, but it is undeniable that the success of Manchester United and the Edwards family highly respect commercialization and tap Manchester United The market value is inseparable, otherwise, why a family that started with pork can be the boss of Manchester United? Earned astronomical wealth from Manchester United, Manchester United also has a good record.


    Millwall has been among the top European clubs in annual income for the past few years, reaching the top several times.


    But the outside world believes that Millwall''s income is extremely high, and they are all derived from selling players.


    This phenomenon will be greatly reversed this season. Millwall itself has not sold many first-team players. Last season, only Marklele left, and they still have to spend on recruiting.


    This season''s income statistics have not yet come out, but Millwall has reached the summit without any suspense.


    They have a new stadium, the ticket income has increased substantially, and the operating income generated by the commercial chain around the new stadium is almost a new part of the income. In the past, there was no industry belonging to Millwall in the vicinity of their stadium, plus the track record, Broadcasting fees, European war tickets, bonuses, top-level sponsorship income for the new season and new grades, etc., Millwall¡¯s pure operating income is enough to ensure that they rank first in Europe and even the global club income.


    In the era when the entire society is about to enter the Internet era, the era of the information explosion, Millwall seized the opportunity, combined with the stadium record, Audridge spent 7 years, made a decade and 20 years beyond other clubs, Even the market development achievements accumulated over the past three decades have grabbed cakes and divided them, laying a solid foundation for the long-term development of the club.


    Having an affection for Millwall, Aldridge not only wanted to make a name for himself, but also built Millwall''s giant cornerstone.

 Chapter 646： ready

    In accordance with established practice, even in the even-numbered years, there must be an intercontinental competition or the FIFA World Cup for UEFA. The odd-numbered years are more tasteless.


    With the large number of South American players landing in Europe, some national team players have more arduous tasks. The America¡¯s Cup will be staggered from the World Cup, the European Cup will inevitably crash with the Confederations Cup, but the management of South America has always been chaotic. The America¡¯s Cup The gold content is therefore slightly insufficient.


    As for the Confederations Cup, which was held once every two years, UEFA complained about it, because frequent international competitions will not allow players to get a reasonable rest. Even the last Confederations Cup, the World Cup champion France team simply organized Too far to refuse to participate.


    This year, FIFA set the regulations. The year before the World Cup, the Confederations Cup must be held. It is known as the preview of the competition, giving the host country the experience of hosting the event, and the game between UEFA and FIFA continues. Until four years later, it was determined that the Confederations Cup would abolish the biannual holding requirement and change it to a four-year term. Even so, the chicken rib nature of the Confederations Cup could not be changed.


    The national team match day is set by FIFA, which is also regarded as FIFA¡¯s "business". As for how to arrange the game on FIFA match day, it is the business of the continents¡¯ football associations. For example, Europe arranges it reasonably. In the Americas, there are only three or four years in a cycle, and only the World Cup qualifiers are played. The schedule is protracted.


    Just like before the World Cup, there will be various national teams playing friendly matches to warm up the large-scale events and attracting the attention of the outside world. This year there is the Confederations Cup. The national teams that do not participate must also play before the Confederations Cup. FIFA competitions, through these competitions to maintain the attention of the outside world, thereby creating the momentum of the Federation Cup.


    At the end of May, Aldridge led the national team to Oslo in a casual T-shirt with the Three Lions team emblem printed on it, challenging the Viking Pirates Norwegian national team.


    Just after a splendid season, Aldridge''s popularity burst, wherever he went, it was the focus, and the England national team did not lose in his hands. Obviously, a friendly game of little significance has attracted a lot of attention from the outside world. The prime time is selected, and the TV broadcast is ready to go.


    In an interview the day before the game, Aldridge declined all questions about the club and only talked about the friendly match. What can be said about the friendly match?


    The young master does not buy it, but the outside world is still chasing his game.


    He confessed at the press conference: In this friendly match, the task of the England national team is to train troops!


    Compared with other strong teams in the world, England''s short board is obviously too young. Since it is young, it is necessary to let them grow up quickly.


    What''s more, some of the stars of the year, such as Beckham, Scholes, Irving, Southgate, etc., they have just completed a season''s game tasks, let them play a friendly game, Even if they can make a verbal guarantee, Aldridge doesn''t believe it.


    The training value of this game for the main lineup is minimal, and the only ones that can exercise are those new faces of the national team.


    But the national team should report or go to report, go to Norway, right to travel and vacation, sit on the bench to watch the game, less free time for holiday, it is always easier than desperately trying to live a life.


    The Norwegian national team''s 98 World Cup has just reached the latest breakthrough in the history of the national team and entered the top 16 elimination rounds. The European Cup in 2000 also advanced to the finals as expected. Unfortunately, the group stage went home. Now it is impacting the 02 World Cup finals and qualifying. The road looks overshadowed.


    This is due to the change in the style of play of the Norwegian national team. Since 1998, it has tended to be conservative. The goal rate has declined significantly. In addition, the Nordic team has occasional talents, but it cannot guarantee the continuous emergence of talent. A period of glory, a period of decline, like Larsen''s Sweden, is now a good era. Ibrahimovic, Larsen, Yongberg and other first-class players have been able to support half the sky.


    Now that Norway¡¯s renewal period has arrived, a new generation has not enough stars to appear, and it will be no surprise that it will gradually fall into second-rate in the future.


    For this game, the Norwegian national team attaches great importance to it. Head coach Sembi has no rhetoric and must say that Norway wants to prove himself in the game against England.


    In the locker room before the game, Aldridge didn¡¯t say much. Today, he sent out starting players with very few main players. To put it bluntly, there are only two. Lampard and Ashley Cole, and the captain¡¯s armband also let Lampard Put on, in this game, he can¡¯t make a whisper to scream the team to go up the sword and go down the fire, exercise. Normally, young people can not panic, and they can show their true level is outstanding, don¡¯t expect anyone to bring an amazing performance. .


    "From the perspective of England''s starting lineup today, we can''t figure out Hall''s true intentions. Is it showing weakness? Or is it really training as he said before the game, the legendary young commander''s platoon formation has always made People can''t figure it out.


    England started with 451.


    Goalkeeper: James.


    Defenders: Phil Neville, Terry, Campbell, Ashley Cole.


    Midfielders: Barry, Hargreaves, Lampard, Joe Cole, Gerrard.


    Forward: Smith.


    This is definitely not the main lineup that the England national team will use in the main game. Big-name players like Beckham, Scholes, Southgate, Irving and so on are all sitting on the bench. They look relaxed. Talking and laughing there. Norway is doing its best today. I am afraid that seeing the England lineup will make them angry. This is obviously a bit of a look down on what they mean. "


    Before the game, Norwegian coach Sembi got the starting list of the England national team. After reading it, he talked with the players in the locker room for a long time, meaning: Don''t be fooled by England!


    Hall is good at this kind of trick, making the opponent angry and irrational, and then they easily fight back and humiliate the opponent!


    It has to be said that wherever Aldridge is now, the trees and trees are soldiers.


    From the beginning of the game, Norway firmly played the defensive counterattack tactics they developed under the supervision of Sembi in recent years, and it was an extremely conservative defensive counterattack. It can be said that the mother put the bus and attacked? It''s destiny, if you get lucky and score a goal, you won''t get it, you can accept it without losing.


    Now at this time, Norway is just ten degrees early in the evening. Aldridge was wearing a T-shirt yesterday and appeared to be sunny and casual. Tonight, he honestly put on his suit again and added a cardigan.


    In fact, the weather is very good, cool and refreshing, suitable for players to play football, watching the ball is also spirited.


    It''s a pity that Norway looks so shamelessly.


    Aldridge looked sullenly. Norway¡¯s shrinking, England was not good at playing positional battles. The scene became dull and dull. Even his coach felt that he was irritated.


    Most of the players sitting on the bench are chatting, and Aldridge is not forbidden. After playing this game, they will go around the world, and they will ask for a loose one. There is no need to do anything. online.


    The exercise value of the game is not great. After all, there is no continuity in the game and training. Aldridge turned around and called McManaman to him to let Klinsman make a seat for McManaman.


    McManaman has done well in the past season, and has been reused in the national team. In Real Madrid, he has also helped the team win a long-standing league title. However, his days in Real Madrid are increasingly unsecured.


    "Coach, what''s the matter?"


    McManaman asked solemnly as he sat down.


    He also figured out Aldridge''s temper, anyway, when talking about business, his attitude must be correct.


    On this occasion, Aldridge obviously would not joke with him.


    "Next season is a crucial season, we will go to the World Cup, and you are my main force, Steve, you should understand that for players of your age, too many games will drain your energy, but Stable playing time is the basis for the state to be guaranteed. I hope you can understand that as the head coach, I will not be biased in employing. You have the strength and the state. I dare to use it, but if your state is unknown, then... ¡­"


    Aldrich came straight to the point, this kind of thing must be very clear to the players.


    McManaman''s expression was serious, and he did not respond for a while.


    Real Madrid is implementing a superstar policy, and his position is being challenged. The arrival of Figo last season has caused his sense of presence to decline rapidly. This summer, Real Madrid has just won the league title, and Florentino''s ambitions have just started. .


    As the outside world rumored, Florentino will fully win Ronaldinho, Henry, Zidane, Belon, etc. stars, no matter who, anyway, there will be a scandal with Real Madrid, there must be two This feature, first, is an offensive player, and second, an expensive player.


    If Real Madrid introduces one or two of these stars, McManaman''s days at Real Madrid next season, I am afraid no one can guarantee.


    And the end of next season is the World Cup. If this season does not get stable playing time in the league to ensure the competitive state, McManaman will definitely go to the World Cup, but if Aldridge has a better choice, or more secure Choice, it is also very possible to reduce him to the bench.


    Next year, McManaman will be 30 years old. The World Cup is the highest stage for players. He only played once in the 98 World Cup. In another five years, in the 2006 World Cup, he is 34 years old. There is little chance of catching up.


    Therefore, for his career, next year''s World Cup is the last chance to leave his name on the highest stage of green shade!


    He wanted to grasp it, he wanted it very much.


    But after all, Real Madrid is a rich club. In the summer transfer period, with the progress of Real Madrid''s recruitment work, he may need to make a choice.


    McManaman left with a solemn look, he did not make any verbal promises, and things did not reach the final stage of the coffin, maybe he turned around in Real Madrid''s future?


    Anyway, Aldridge¡¯s request is just to hope that McManaman will guarantee the playing time in the club next season to stabilize the state, specifically which club is playing for, this is not the head coach can interfere with.


    England lost the friendly match today. Norway is shrunk and busted. England is not good at attacking tough battles. It is also a group of young players. They are pushed up while playing, and they were attacked by Norway.


    Aldridge doesn''t care about losing, this game is really the second nature of the first match of friendship.


    He shook hands with Sembi after the game and then disbanded the England national team on the spot.


    All work officially ended this season, Aldridge returned to London to bring children and Ewen, directly to Australia''s own island vacation, this summer vacation is more luxurious, he has a luxury cruise ship.


    In the summer of 2001.


    Boss Bay wants to revive Milan, the Zebra Legion is trying to overpower Apennines, Inter Milan seeks a crown, and the era of the Seven Warriors in the Italian Warring States is gone.


    The German class tyrant suffered two defeats after three defeats, and German football sought the king in the dark.


    The Iberian white giant returns to the Champions League. The galactic warship under formation is ready to go. The Catalan "army" is struggling to relive the password of the dream era.


    Not far from the Iberian white giant, a magic bird is about to rush to the sky...


    The Three Lions are three games away from the World Cup in Korea and Japan. The battle for the Hercules Cup officially entered the countdown.


    Volume Eight Mad Lion Dynasty

 Chapter 647： Obsolete

    June 2001.


    Suwon, South Korea.


    Before the French team participated in the Confederations Cup, Henry was interviewed, and European journalists were generally concerned about an issue.


    "Tieri, Real Madrid is willing to pay you a transfer fee of 45 million pounds. Are you considering playing in the Bernabeu in the past?"


    Henry smiled and said, "Thanks to Real Madrid for favoring me, but I haven''t thought about moving to Millwall."


    "But you have won everything at Millwall."


    "Since I can win everything at Millwall, why go to Real Madrid?"


    ...


    Japan, Yokohama.


    When the Brazilian national team arrived here, Ronaldinho, who was out of the player''s tunnel, wore a pair of stylish sunglasses and his long hair was tied behind his head.


    "Ronaldinho! Ronaldinho!"


    Countless Japanese fans screamed wildly, while reporters in the front row kept taking pictures or shouting at him with a microphone.


    "Ronaldinho, are you going to play in Spain? Both Barcelona and Real Madrid are willing to pay you a transfer fee of more than 40 million pounds!"


    Ronald Ronald, who was walking forward with his teammates, heard the reporter''s question and turned to walk over there, almost causing a fan riot. As he approached, more than ten microphones passed to him.


    "If there is a newspaper or TV report that I will transfer to Millwall, no matter where I go, it must be a lie."


    ...


    The Confederations Cup is in full swing, Aldridge is already on vacation in Australia, lying on the deck of the cruise ship to sunbathe, the fatigue after a season is relieved, and even sleeping in the soft sunlight in the afternoon seems to be a luxury, which is extremely extreme Longing and easy to satisfy.


    Arthur, Amelia, and Puskas are also playing on the cruise ship, and it seems like they are in a paradise.


    One day in mid-June, Aldridge''s cruise ship stopped near the equator. He slowly applied sunscreen on the back of Ewen''s back on the deck with his palms. He enjoyed the job very much. The warm and smooth touch was wonderful It''s a desire to rise. If it weren''t for the cruise ship or anyone else, he was really here to be prostituted by daylight.


    "Dad, phone."


    Earl and Burt ran barefoot from the cabin to the front with bare feet, handed the phone to Audridge, and then the two children ran to the boat to watch the sea fish, buckled their **** and put on one Shayi, smiled at Aldridge: "I looked at them, don''t go into the sea and be taken away by fish."


    Aldridge laughed, and took a photo of her **** while turning around on her sloppy buttocks, Yiwen turned around, and stepped on him with a small jade foot, then turned and ran away.


    Aldrich lay down and asked the phone: "Hello, which one?"


    "I haven''t been in touch for a long time, Aldridge."


    "Oh, it''s been a long time, Raphael. I thought our next conversation should be on the field. You took your team to challenge me."


    Rafael, Benitez!


    Aldridge didn''t blush at all, and Benitez didn''t feel anything wrong.


    Challenge Aldridge?


    This is what all the top clubs in Europe are doing.


    "I became the head coach of Valencia, do you know?"


    "Now I know. Congratulations."


    "Then you give me a gift?"


    "Send you a comb?"


    "...Vincent and Joaquin, they have no place to return to Millwall, sell it to Valencia."


    "Is it my gift, or are you pitting me?"


    "I''m actually just a lobbyist, who the club wants to buy, I can''t decide, Millwall can''t sell, I can''t decide either, but Valencia executives want me to come forward and see me and your former official face, let the transfer It can be completed successfully."


    Aldridge looked at the endless blue sky and white clouds. Think about it too. What right can Benitez have in Valencia?


    "I can''t give you an answer. I will consider and respect the player''s personal choice."


    "Well, so be it, I know you are on vacation and will not bother you."


    Aldridge hung up and called Adam and asked him to follow up on Vicente and Joaquin.


    The Vicente and Joaquin, who rented Valencia last season, can''t be said to shine, but it shows the hopeful future of the Star of Hope, and it has emerged among the younger generation of Spain.


    A year later, at the end of the season, both of them stayed in the motherland, which is also normal. After all, they must return to Spain on vacation.


    But what Adam learned was bad for Millwall.


    Huajin''s attitude is relatively firm.


    If Millwall cannot give him the main position next season, he will apply for a transfer to leave.


    Vicente expressed the request to leave more gently.


    Valencia may not be able to retain Mendieta. There are many opportunities for higher ranks. Moreover, Millwall has a lot of talents. Although they are still not the main force in Valencia, they also see the hope of competition, but In Millwall''s main framework, there is less and less space for young people to survive.


    Aldrich didn''t keep the two players after learning the latest situation.


    Perhaps they are left behind, but they delay their future unless they agree to continue to be rented out.


    Before the transfer window opened in the summer, Millwall''s first sale was the sale of Vicente and Joaquin to Valencia, with a transfer fee of 17.5 million pounds, plus 3 million floating terms.


    Substitute goalkeeper Keller announced the termination of the contract with the club on June 1, which is not a sale.


    The following day, Aldridge remotely commanded club transfers during his vacation.


    In summer, a signing has been put on the agenda.


    Kaka''s transfer!


    "Boss, the FA needs us to show the Brazilian boy applying for a labor certificate, but he did not perform particularly well in Brazil."


    Kaka¡¯s transfer operation, transfer fee, and player¡¯s personal wishes are no longer a problem. The only difficulty is the labor certificate.


    Millwall is bound to initiate special genius clauses. There is only one quota for a season, and at the same time, he must come up with convincing evidence that the introduced players have the qualities of genius.


    Now Millwall is on the cusp of the storm. Unlike when she introduced Shevchenko in the past, it had little influence. Aldrich Togerson could get things done with help.


    "Materials? You just use the technical performance in his training as materials."


    Aldrich¡¯s words made Adam don¡¯t know what to do.


    Take training videos casually, not even a formal game, will the FA pass?


    But since Aldridge said so, Adam could only do so.


    Today, Aldridge does not go to others to help, and he can¡¯t really prove that Kaka is a genius. He just said with a mouth: He is a genius! The Premier League refused his arrival, it is the loss of the Premier League!


    It is true that what he said is true and false, and it will prove to be right or wrong in the future.


    Anyway, when he spoke, he had a certain influence on public opinion.


    But to do this, it is really impossible to rely solely on Aldridge''s mouth to say that the FA has to clear up the relationship internally and find Andrew to come forward to work around. This is the point.


    Before the summer transfer window opened on July 1st, something that made Aldridge depressed.


    Almost everyone who rented out last season did not want to come back!


    Carrick, Mex, Hengrande, Squillage, Crouch, Defoe, Viana, McFadden, Evra.


    A total of 9 people expressed their desire to transfer to the club through the agent, and basically all had a preliminary agreement with the leased club.


    The key depends on whether Millwall can let people go.


    Drogba''s loan performance last season was average. In addition to the turmoil of beating his teammates last season, he returned to Millwall in points and no one was interested.


    Lampard and Ashley Cole also returned to the club, but if they can''t make it in the new season, they still have to consider continuing to lend them. After all, next year is the World Cup, and there must be league support.


    Of the nine players, Aldridge did not want to let go only Carrick and Evra.


    But thinking about it, Carrick is too competitive in this position. Pirlo will definitely not go next season. Lampard and Alonso are all in front of Carrick, and the age gap is not big. It seems that there will be no use in the future.


    Evra''s situation is about the same, Zambrotta, Ashley Cole is ahead of him.


    As for the 9 people who will choose to leave, the situation is similar.


    It is hopeless to start in Millwall, can play the main role in other places, and the salary income can also be improved a lot. After all, Millwall can¡¯t even squeeze in the first team, and can get a lot of money in other top league clubs. Contracts.


    Millwall''s youth training has been brilliant in these years. These 9 players are labelled Millwall youth training. As long as they have a firm foothold in the loan club, they will immediately attract attention and are expected to become the next star. Therefore, other clubs first Strive to be strong, seduce these players before the big red and big purple, trying to pick a big bargain.


    Aldridge hesitated for a while, and finally let the club transfer department whisper with these buying clubs.


    Didn''t arrive in July, Millwall left 11 people after transferring!


    The departure of these nine players brought Millwall ¡ê46.5 million in revenue, with floating terms totalling ¡ê8 million.


    One by one transfer official announced that the transaction will be completed only after the transfer window opens.


    Fleet Street has been accustomed to the miraculous ability of Millwall to transfer people to make money over the years, but now Millwall sellers have sold to an exaggerated point.


    Of the 11 players sold, only Vicente and Joaquin have a record in the first team at Millwall. The others are only loaned out for one or two seasons, some of them are amazing, some are average, but in fact, Did not reach a height that meets the value.


    But because of the effect of Millwall''s youth training sign, these players are sold at a high price.


    In total, Millwall brought back 64 million pounds of income, and more than 10 million pounds of floating terms.


    When they leave, no one will feel sorry for Millwall. It is not that Millwall has not retained genius, but that these players may not have any chance to get ahead in Millwall for at least three years!


    Under this brutal rule of competition, they are the result of competition eliminated from the Millwall team.


    But it is such a batch of Millwall''s elimination products that brought back such a generous return, reflecting Millwall''s extremely high requirements for the player''s ability from the side.


    As the transfer window opened, a player from Millwall''s first team called Aldridge and offered to transfer.

 Chapter 648： Friendly cooperation

    In the summer, when it rained heavily in London, Glenn Carr drove to the community where the Aldridge mansion was located and drove out of his home in East London. He paid careful attention to the street scenery along the way.


    Times are changing, and East London has changed a lot compared to when he arrived seven years ago. Even if it is still not as comfortable as Stamford Bridge and North London, at least the environment has improved dramatically.


    In seven years, in the mad lion formation all the way, Glennshire witnessed the rise of a dynasty, he is a cornerstone of this dynasty, but not the most important pillar.


    This year, he is 24 years old.


    Can not be regarded as leaving the most beautiful years in the mad lion, but the intention to serve the results but poor strength.


    The companions and competitors around him left one by one, in exchange, and went Pire, came to Shevchenko. After the Ukrainian nuclear warhead, another Brazilian elf Ronaldinho was born.


    Every day in the past seven years, every day, he said to himself: work harder, closer to the main position, and then closer, one day, he will pedal the main position with the most buddy Schneider Fight side by side, pull the wall for the mad lion siege and sweep the green field!


    The mad lion achieved the invincibility of sweeping the strong enemy, but Glencharr''s substitute from seven years ago, to today, is still a substitute, staying, still a substitute.


    Not that he didn''t work hard enough, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn''t catch up with Ronaldinho, Henry, Larson.


    After Ronaldinho replaced Ronaldinho in the Champions League final, seeing Ronaldinho singled out Koufor and then passed Anderson to win against Kahn. When Glen Cheer rushed out of the bench and cheered, there was suddenly an unspeakable bitterness in his heart.


    At the age of 24, it can be said to be a bifurcation of a football player.


    If genius does nothing at this age, then the word genius above the head can be removed directly, and the late adult must have missed the genius evaluation when he was young.


    Glennhill never boasted of genius, but now is also a very critical period for his career. He continues to wait for opportunities on the bench at Millwall. I am afraid that on the day of his career, he will always be a substitute. Even, in the end, even the qualification of the substitute can not be guaranteed.


    In the heavy rain, Glenchard drove to Aldridge''s mansion. Yesterday, Aldridge returned from vacation and invited Glenchard to be a guest at home.


    Drive the car into the garage of Aldridge¡¯s house. After Glenshare got off, he saw Aldridge in a casual T-shirt waiting for him with a smile on the side door, and his younger son Earl was curious. Staring at Glenshire and seeing him, Earl said immediately, "Uncle, hello."


    Glenshire was slightly distracted.


    uncle?


    Yes, at 24, he is already an uncle.


    And Aldridge is actually only one year older than him.


    Aldridge closed the garage door, and from the partial goalkeeper Glenchard entered the room.


    "Hi Jasper, have you had a great holiday?"


    Yvonne, who had worked at the Millwall Club, met Glenshare and she had prepared a table of food.


    Glenchard replied casually: "Not bad."


    In fact, he did not go on vacation at all, but thought in his own home. It took more than half a month to finally make up his mind.


    Aldrich deliberately opened two bottles of top-notch red wine and pushed the glass on the dining table with Glenshire.


    At the dinner table, the mentor and apprentice did not talk about any topic about football. Instead, they talked about life and topics that young people would care about.


    By the end of the dinner, there were only Audridge and Glenn Charles at the table.


    I don¡¯t know if it was because of alcohol, Glennshire suddenly lowered his head, tears dripped down his chin, Aldridge stretched his hand on his shoulder, Glennshire leaned his head against it, sobbing: "Head Thank you."


    All he can say is thanks.


    It wasn¡¯t Millwall who didn¡¯t want him, but he knew that his demands and Millwall¡¯s demands could not be reconciled.


    Aldridge said softly: "Jespe, remember, Millwall will always be your home. If one day, you want to come back, I will personally fly to pick you up!"


    Glennshire cried silently, twice, three times, four times, and kept nodding.


    At 9 p.m., Glenn Charles woke up and became more energetic, and said goodbye to Audridge.


    When the two hugged in the garage, Aldrich said to him, "Good luck all the way."


    Then he stood by the garage door and watched Glenshare''s car slowly sinking into the heavy rain.


    After the car shadow disappeared in the rain for a long time, Aldridge always stood by the garage and stared at the front in a loss.


    Opposite day and night, the departure of the partner who walked side by side for seven years left the sentiment far more intense than Shevchenko, Trezeguet, Elgra and others left when they left.


    Even if Glenchar is far less important than Shevchenko, even if he brings the club''s transfer income to less than half of Shevchenko.


    Aldridge hopes that Glenchard will stay. He stays there, which will help Millwall¡¯s bench thickness, and the team is stronger. However, since Glenhall has chosen to leave, Aldridge will send sincere blessings. Millwall does not owe Glenshire, nor does Glenwall owe Millwall. Between them, there is only a bond of friendship that has been established for seven years.


    Aldrich knows that today will be a farewell, and it will be hopeless.


    Glennshire may never play for other Premier League teams in the future. He was not born in Millwall, but grew up in Millwall. For seven years, Millwall has his figure behind every championship, although Some are humble.


    The next day, Millwall officially announced that he had reached a transfer agreement with Ligue 1 team Paris Saint-Germain, and Glenn Charles transferred to Paris Saint-Germain for 13 million pounds!


    Tens of thousands of mad lion fans have posted messages on Glenshire''s personal homepage, wishing Glenchard a smooth life in Paris.


    Fans are rational. Glenn Carrell played for Millwall for seven years. Although the credit is not much, but the hard work is real. He stayed, everyone welcomed, he left, everyone blessed.


    When he went to Paris Saint-Germain, Glenn Charles could play the main role, and his income also increased. Aldrich could not reasonably speak the words that persuaded Glenn Charles to stay.


    The champion?


    Staying at Millwall continues to be a substitute. As a substitute, his championship has also gotten soft. How much more does it make sense?


    Aldrich also talked specifically with the second Saint-Germain coach, and his old friend Fernandez had a deep talk about the transfer of Glenchard. After he got the other party''s guarantee, he nodded.


    The summer transfer in UEFA is in full swing, the recruitment of giants is the most important thing, Millwall is mainly stable, and now it is difficult for the outside world to accuse Millwall of inaction in the transfer market: successful teams do not change!


    At this time, when reviewing Millwall''s transfer investment in the past summer, Fleet Street was full of praise. He believed that on the basis of victory, the mad lion continued to train successors and cultivate fresh blood, making the team''s lineup strength enduring. .


    On the first weekend of July, there was another guest at Odric¡¯s house. Tottenham¡¯s new chairman: Daniel Levi.


    Tottenham''s poor record in recent years, the previous boss Su Jia has been criticized by fans, and even received death threats from fans. Under unbearable pressure, Tottenham was sold in the first half of the year. It was acquired by the ENIC group represented by Levi. This ENIC group has obvious Jewish brand: make money!


    Everything is about making money as the ultimate goal.


    Moreover, ENIC has great ambitions. Since then, it has been against Uganda against Bo Gongtang, because they not only control Tottenham, but also control two other second-tier clubs in UEFA. UEFA promotes civilians in the European war. Efforts to reduce poverty and achieve its own results. If the team held by ENIC meets in the European War, it is very likely to cause a "protocol ball" conjecture. After all, the boss behind the scene is the same group, and the lawsuit is protracted. It¡¯s not a court, they can¡¯t fight against EU law. Therefore, UEFA has its own countermeasures to separate these teams when drawing lots. As for how to divide, you need to use the blind eye method, but the worries are still there, because no matter what you do How to draw lots, such as the UEFA Cup, if Tottenham meets another team controlled by ENIC in the finals, in order to maximize the club''s revenue, the result of the game will still arouse suspicion from the outside world, but this hidden concern has not been reduced to ten years The reality may be related to Tottenham''s goal in the Champions League, not the UEFA Cup, and in the Champions League, Tottenham has no absolute strength to black out.


    Levi brought a gift when he came, and he was very valuable. When he walked into Aldridge''s house, he looked very solemn. Looking at his careful appearance, Aldridge smiled secretly.


    Before that, he heard Arthur mentioned this Levi. At the last Premier League boss round table, Levi attended for the first time. The performance of the whole process, in Arthur''s words, was like a "frightened child".


    Aldridge thought that the other party was learning Ritzdale and wanted to come to Millwall to buy players. As a result, Levi fell asleep and Aldridge was stunned.


    "Lease?"


    Levi, with his bald head and glasses, looked slick, but he also had the potential to be a thief, but fortunately, his expression was serious and he didn''t want to be crooked.


    "Well, Tottenham did not have much money to run the player transfer this summer. I opened the club¡¯s past management log and found that in January this year, Millwall proposed to loan Lampard and Ashley Cole, but in the end Unable to reach an agreement, the two players went to Charlton and played extremely well, helping Charlton to get the top ranking in the Premier League. I think if Millwall is willing to lend them this season, Tottenham can bear them Salary during the rental period."


    Charlton''s final league ranking last season, no one said it was the sixth in the league! Behind is Ipswich, then Chelsea, Lampard and Ashley Cole contributed greatly. And Tottenham? 13th in the league.


    Aldridge thought the Jews were rich, but he did not expect Levi to be very real.


    Tottenham now have no money, just rely on it, slowly economic recovery, have the ability to invest again, and take a pragmatic route.


    There is another group of old, weak and sick in Tottenham. If you want this club to regain its brilliance, it will almost be overthrown.


    Not long ago, Tottenham experienced an earthquake-level transfer.


    Saul Campbell, the general who thought he would surely renew his contract, actually defected to White Hart Lane as a free agent, went out, walked into Highbury, and put on the tabard of the dead enemy gunman!


    In such a period of internal and external difficulties and storms, Levi still focused on streamlining the house, not buying people, renting good players, which is also the hope of the current coach Glenn Hoddle.


    Millwall and Tottenham have no complaints, the other side is willing to help leveling, and in London, the team coach also has a certain prestige, Aldridge will not make things difficult for Levi, but also added a player, Joe Co Yeah.


    The only additional condition is to add better personal treatment to the players in the loan contract, such as extra goals bonus during the loan period, winning bonus.


    Levi did not hesitate and nodded in agreement. Levi and Aldridge, who had just arrived first time, completed a friendly cooperation between the clubs.


    After the transfer of Glennshire, Millwall announced the departure of three players on loan.


    Joe Cole, Lampard and Ashley Cole were on loan to White Hart Lane for a season.

 Chapter 649： Genius is leaving the team

    In the summer of 2001, the madness of the UEFA transfer market continued, and faintly will create the craziest summer ever.


    Florentino called Aldridge three times, and finally quoted 50 million pounds. Henry and Ronaldinho, any one, as long as Millwall let go, 50 million pounds, please take it away.


    Aldridge''s refusal caused Florentino to immediately die down.


    The Euro has been promoted and used in the European football field. If the Euro is used to convert currency units, this summer''s sensational transfer will be one after another. All the major giants have come to the stage, and only Millwall, who is the best in the world, is on the sidelines.


    Juventus'' Zidane moved to Real Madrid at a high price of 73.5 million euros. Zidane became the creator of the new world football transfer record.


    Parma''s Buffon transferred to Juventus for 54.2 million euros, also becoming the most expensive goalkeeper in history! At the same time, Thuram transferred to the Zebra Army for 36.5 million euros.


    Valencia sold its leader Mendieta to Lazio, worth 48 million euros, only 2 million to become half a billion.


    Lazio sent Belon to Old Trafford for 42.6 million euros, Manchester United set a new record for the signing of football.


    AC Milan''s acquisition of Rui Costa cost 42 million euros and the acquisition of Inzaghi cost 37 million euros.


    At the age of 18, he won the South American Football Championship. He won the World Youth Championship this summer. Saviola, who won the Golden Boot Award and the Golden Globe Award, landed in Europe to join Barcelona for 35.9 million euros. He was only 19 years old.


    There are also many other transfers with more than 20 million euros, such as Cassano, Tordo, Amoruso, Salas, Giovanni and other players.


    From the perspective of transfer investment, the gap between the Premier League and Serie A can be seen, but the Premier League is also a lot of generous transfers, such as Robbie Keane and Robbie Fowler joining Leeds United, worth nearly 20 million euros, Ritz Dyer''s gamble continues...


    The most crazy transfer storm in history is naturally Serie A. Although there are top stars outflows, it is mainly due to the internal shuffle of the Serie A team. Palma, Florence and other strong teams are dismembered by the giants. Lazio is caught in a financial crisis. There will be no more splendid glory of the seven sisters in the World Cup.


    This is another way to beat the opponent in the football world.


    It is also a way for other giants to try to weaken Millwall in Europe. Three years ago, the main force of Millwall''s half team was poached. I thought Millwall would sink, but it was unexpected that Millwall had only passed one season Return to the top of Europe, and also completed the jealously mad defending Champions League!


    The shocking news of the transfer market is one day at a time. In contrast, Millwall has caused a sensation. They are selling people, selling people, and always selling people!


    Twelve non-main players left before and after, and some of the reserve team''s players who were younger than the first team were taken away by the second-level league team and exchanged for about 3 million in transfer income.


    Millwall didn''t spend a penny and made another ¡ê80 million!


    Millwall''s only signing in the summer is quite bumpy.


    Kaka''s transfer will take a certain amount of time, which is what Audridge expects.


    if not?


    Millwall introduced a non-European player and handed over the transfer to the FA today. The FA will agree tomorrow. In doing so, the fool knows that the FA always opens the back door.


    The longer the time is, the more difficult it is for Millwall to introduce the players. The FA has done a careful review, and there must be a process of "difficult hardship" before it can be concluded.


    All the teams in the Premier League are accelerating the recruitment process. Manchester United signed a sign of Bellonville (signing Fran half a year later). Chelsea''s record last season slipped too obviously. This season, a group of veterans such as Wise were cleaned up. Leberf, Boyette and others, some youth training products have also changed back to meager income, and they have changed their strategies in the transfer market. It is not necessary to be more refined. The arrival of Gala, Zenden, and Petit only cost 2000 Around 10,000 pounds, Leeds United strengthened the strike line, Fowler and Keane both came to Elland Road, Liverpool introduced Risser, Baros, Dudek and other generals. Last season, the three cup kings let the Red Army see the hope of revival.


    Wenger, who was proud of the spring, has also found Aldridge. Although Arsenal bears huge debts in the new stadium, the stable Premier League record and the qualification for the Champions League have allowed the Gunners to be limited in recruitment. Wenger has also avoided Campbell in the summer. The generals will be in a good mood.


    Careful calculation of the life, Ruyi abacus hit Millwall''s head.


    One month before the start of the new season Premier League, Millwall''s preparations will also begin. When the training day arrives, there is a dissonant voice inside Millwall.


    "Daily Mail" first broke the news.


    "Spanish genius teenager Reyes said: Millwall is ruining me!"


    "The Star" followed up and published the original interview with Reyes. The title was: Millwall is forcing me to go!


    Other media on Fleet Street also quickly followed up and reported the incident.


    Before the first team returned to the team, Aldridge naturally would not go to the club every day. He would keep up his energy at home and carefully prepare the newly planted flowers in the back garden with Yiwen.


    However, the club youth team has come back to train in advance. After all, their training and competition tasks during the season are not too heavy. On a reasonable basis, we must focus on continuity.


    After returning to the youth team, Reyes learned that he will not be upgraded to the first team in the new season, and he immediately became furious and felt unreasonable!


    He showed his talent when he came to Millwall. Two years later, he became a major player in the Millwall youth team.


    The Millwall youth team dominates the England Youth League, the Youth FA Cup is not new, but in the last season of the European "next generation" youth champion league, Reyes, Ronaldo, Ribery, Lesko Special, De Rossi and other youth teams dominated by victorious record, especially the offensive firepower, tearing the tears of other major league strong youth teams, the most bright player is Ronaldo, even if he He was only 16 years old in the second half of the season, but perhaps it was his young age that his opponents looked down upon him. Ronaldo was arranged to play forward. Ronaldo and Reyes played behind Ronaldo and Ribery. At this time, I didn''t feel very enlightened and played well, and Reyes'' technical talent was particularly dazzling on the field, winning the best player award in the event.


    With the award, naturally sought after by the media, Reyes shined. After seeing the club selling Glenchard, Vicente, Joaquin and others, he thought that the 18-year-old returned to the club. This season does not seek to play the main force, the last team should play no substitute.


    However, the youth team director Najib told him to play in the reserve league next season. Of the backbone players last season, only De Rossi was promoted to the first team.


    Now Reyes could not accept it, confronting Najib directly and demanding promotion to the first team.


    These players came to Millwall when they were young. They were naturally well-behaved, but their eyes were on the first team. The youth team must be excessive. Therefore, when they get older and have a certain strength, they dare to be the head coach of the youth team. Cry out.


    Najib ignored Reyes and chose a cold treatment.


    As a result, things got bigger and bigger, Reyes spoke to the media, and his family came to ask for an explanation.


    When Aldrich came to the training base when he heard the news, he saw an unsightly scene.


    Reyes and his family confronted Najib on the sidelines. The young players on the training ground did not train anymore and were watching.


    "Why not let me go to the first team? Do I even have Millwall''s bench level?"


    "That is, I don''t know how many clubs want to sign him now!"


    "Coach Najib, if you can''t give me a reasonable explanation, I will go to Coach Hall!"


    "If it were not for Mr. Hall to call himself in person, we would not let him come to the broken place of London!"


    Najib didn''t know whether the people in front of him were relatives or parents of Reyes. They didn''t introduce themselves at all, and they looked like a debt collector.


    He sighed softly that he was not good at dealing with such things, not because there was no reasonable explanation, but that he felt that it would only make things worse.


    Heart wry smile.


    Does Reyes think that the big red in the "next generation" Champions League represents?


    Among a group of young players with an average age of around 18, do you think you can stand on the cruel professional field?


    The football field is originally an unequal arena. 30-year-old and 20-year-old are playing in the same field. Having technical talent does not mean everything.


    Najib does not deny Reyes'' talent, but still wants to cultivate him step by step.


    The problem with Reyes is one thing: confrontation!


    Go directly to the Premier League and endure the highest level of intensity confrontation. If you don''t do well, it will destroy him, especially his technical player.


    According to the intensity of the confrontation, the youth team, the reserve team, the Premier League, let him step up step by step, Najib firmly believes that this is the right path, even if he encounters setbacks, he will not be defeated by confidence all of a sudden.


    Ramor came out of the shadow of a serious injury, and he came over step by step.


    Nor does it mean that the confrontation between the Premier League is a beast of floods, the problem is still with Reyes himself. The coaching staff found that he has the tendency to actively evade confrontation. This is a special case among players. Other players don¡¯t talk about their ability to compete, at least they will not avoid confrontation. Therefore, Najib hopes that Reyes can go to the reserve team to overcome and solve this problem.


    C Ronaldo stepped on the ball at the training ground and couldn''t stand it anymore. He just played hard in Millwall. There are not many friends. Those are the few. The people he contacts most in the weekday are Naji and He. Mullenstin, the former is his coach in the youth team, the latter is a coach who teaches him his technical ability according to his personal characteristics. Seeing Najib as "bully", this kid wants to help and support Najib in the past. .


    He had just taken a step, his arms were pulled, and he turned to look at De Rossi and frowned, "Why? Are you afraid?"


    De Rossi smiled, not thinking, afraid? What is terrible?


    He pointed to the far side of the road on the sidelines, C Luo Wang went to see Aldridge was walking, his expression looked very serious.


    Don''t look at Aldridge as he is only 25 years old. He is really not angry now.


    When Reyes and the family around them found that Aldridge came, each closed their mouths. The momentum was completely different from the previous one. More than a three-point weakness, it was a trough.


    Aldrich didn¡¯t know what they were talking about before, but from the news in the newspaper, things were generally clear.


    "Boss."


    Reyes greeted each other softly, and immediately counseled.


    "Mr. Hall, hello."


    His family tried to calm down and greeted normally.


    Aldridge nodded to Reyes'' family with a smile, then he turned his head to look at the training ground and raised his fingers to the young players who were watching.


    The players immediately avoided Aldridge''s sight and continued to train. The training ground returned to its proper sight and order.


    Aldridge took his eyes off and said lightly: "Let''s go to the office and talk about it. No matter what the problem is, I believe that calm communication can solve the problem."


    After he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the training base office building.

 Chapter 650： Highest price

    Arriving in the office of Aldridge''s training base, Reyes involuntarily raised his chest, his eyes filled with awe, and even his family was very humble.


    Aldridge¡¯s office doesn¡¯t have a trophy, no medal of honor, but the seven pictures of Millwall¡¯s family portraits from the past seven seasons on the wall seem to have unparalleled magic, and they are awesome when they are seen. .


    Seven photos, condensing the distance Millwall has traveled in the past seven seasons, is also an alternative resume for Aldridge''s work.


    Aldridge poured water for them personally, and instead of sitting behind the desk, he stood at the desk and said calmly: "Okay, do you have any questions to answer, or have dissatisfaction and demands, now we Speak openly."


    Reyes can stand upright in front of Najib, and can''t even lift his head in front of Aldridge.


    The young man in front of him, strictly speaking, is his boss, although he has not directed him in a game.


    In the club, Aldridge has absolute authority. The authority of this kind of head coach, placed in many rich clubs, is inviolable.


    The head coach says you can''t do it, you can''t do it no matter how dissatisfied you are.


    If the head coach does not let you play, you cannot play.


    There is no room for bargaining.


    Mo said that Aldridge is the boss. With his seven-year record, he puts on any other club''s head coach. How can a youth team dare to make a difference?


    Reyes did not dare to speak, and even had a fear in his heart.


    He was afraid to hear Aldridge''s denial, deny his strength, deny his future, deny everything about him.


    If such an outstanding coach deny a player, even a famous star, it will have a negative impact, and young players will suffer a huge blow in their hearts.


    It¡¯s just that the head coach has integrity, especially when it comes to the level of a handsome coach, to attack young players, regardless of opponents and me. This kind of dirty thing can easily cause public outrage, too low-handed, and deviate from mainstream values. For young people, encourage and It is only correct to promote this kind of positive guidance. Occasionally good warnings are also acceptable, but if it is denied, it is too cruel.


    There was a period of silence in the office, and Reyes¡¯s family couldn¡¯t resist the slightly suppressed atmosphere, and said: ¡°Mr. Hall, how did Jose perform at Millwall last season, this is obvious to all. You can¡¯t deny it?"


    Aldridge looked as usual and said lightly: "We have our own set of player evaluation systems. I have read Jose''s growth report last season and it''s okay."


    is acceptable?


    Is it barely passing?


    Reyes'' family was surprised.


    What a joke!


    In the Intercontinental Youth League, Reyes was elected the best player of the tournament.


    If he is okay, wouldn''t other players be terrible?


    As Aldridge said, Millwall has his own system for evaluating player growth, and each player''s standards cannot be the same.


    Because everyone has a different starting point.


    Like Reyes and Ribery, Reyes is very talented, and the basic points that come to the team may reach 50 points, and Ribery is a player who was abandoned by Lille Youth Academy and came to the basic points of the team. Maybe only 20 points.


    But after a year of training, Reyes grew from 50 to 60 points, Ribery rose from 20 to 35 points, yes, Ribery is still not as good as Reyes, but in terms of growth, Reyes ''S evaluation will not be higher than Ribery!


    And Reyes still did not overcome the key points that Aldridge and Naji had discussed earlier in the season.


    In Aldrich''s eyes, Reyes'' growth was unsatisfactory.


    Technical players do not rely on confrontation. This is a fact. No matter whether they pass the position or break through, they rely more on technology.


    However, your opponent will force you to fight.


    Aldrich couldn¡¯t imagine how Ronaldinho could exert his magic on the top arena if he didn¡¯t have the courage to fight the chaotic army.


    How many times did Zidane leisurely play Marseille maneuvers when his opponent came over with a fierce shovel?


    Confrontation is just a general concept and does not specifically refer to physical contact. The core is actually courage and will. In the future, more and more technical players will land in the Premier League. Among them, there are many thin and weak players who can''t help but are as good as they are in the Premier League. Are they fighting badly? It is indeed not strong, but with the will and courage to confront, it can shine here.


    According to Reyes, he voluntarily avoided the momentum of confrontation and continued to develop. In the future, he does not need physical contact. Defending him and scaring can scare him to death!


    "Mr. Hall, Jose is 18 years old this year. We think he has the strength to play for the first team of Millwall. Can he enter the first team next season?"


    Reyes''s family was silent for a while before clarifying the subject directly.


    Aldrich shook his head slightly and said, "The player is not strong enough to play for the first team. It is not someone else''s decision, it''s me. And I and my colleagues, every coach here, we will make it for the player''s own situation. The reasonable growth plan we have arranged for the players is definitely the best option we have considered."


    "What is the basis for this? Liverpool can allow Irving, 17, to play the main role, and Arsenal also have a high striker, it seems to be playing at 18, also in England, also in Millwall, at 18 There are not many first-team players. Why is Jose not good? His physical condition and technical ability are no worse than those of his peers."


    Aldridge was reluctant to discuss this topic with others, because what he said would seem to be sophistry.


    In fact, there is only one answer: Irving is Irving, Ibrahimovic is Ibrahimovic, Ronaldinho is Ronaldinho, Villa is Villa, and Reyes is just himself Reyes.


    It is the most unreasonable practice in the world to use other people''s examples to cover yourself.


    Seeing Aldrich shaking his head without answering, Reyes'' family made an ultimatum.


    "Mr. Hall, if Millwall cannot provide a suitable career development environment and opportunity, then please ask Millwall to allow Jose to transfer."


    Aldridge''s expression remained unchanged, and his eyes turned to Reyes. He asked softly, "Jos¨¦, what do you think?"


    Reyes was sweating coldly, daring not to look at Aldridge''s eyes, and for a long time he barely said, "I want to play professional games as soon as possible."


    Aldrich nodded and said lightly: "Well, I respect your choice, the club will list you, good luck."


    After all, Aldridge sent away.


    Reyes¡¯s agent is from Spain. I heard that Millwall wanted to list Reyes and immediately ran to the club. The first requirement was that the transfer fee should be 15%. Yes transfer fee!


    Aldridge pushed the boat and told the reporter on Fleet Street.


    Reyes¡¯s agent asked for a high price, although there was no conflict with Reyes¡¯ transfer, but under the media rendering, Reyes¡¯s departure, from his previous claim that Millwall was ruining him and forcing him away , Falling into the eyes of outsiders, it became completely greedy Reyes'' agent, and reflected on Reyes.


    As soon as Reyes was listed, Wenger found the door.


    Arsenal wanted to take advantage of this. Wenger Joodrich met at the Chinese restaurant to discuss Reyes transfer.


    After seeing Reyes'' performance in the youth team game, especially in the intercontinental game, Wenger likes this technical player, which is in line with his ideal gunner lineup puzzle.


    But after a dinner, Aldridge did not give Wenger any promise.


    Even Wenger said again and again: Players like Reyes, if other clubs are not well-tuned, it is easy to get rid of it! Give it to me!


    Aldrich didn''t care where Reyes went. If Reyes just expressed his demands calmly, Aldridge might have softened his heart and sold him to Arsenal. After all, Wenger was right. Some players must be guided by famous teachers. Reyes will definitely have more opportunities at Arsenal than Millwall. If he can find out that he is facing poor problems earlier, Wenger may have the patience and ability to help Rey. Overcome.


    However, since Najib, Aldridge''s brother in mind, has been "bullyed", Aldridge''s vision for the players is also angered.


    Reyes, just like a commodity, is listed, and the higher the price!


    There are many clubs in the English Premier League participating in the auction.


    Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool and even Chelsea have also made public offers.


    But the hottest chase is the Spanish team, but unfortunately there are not many La Liga teams.


    Reyes is talented and shows some strength in the Youth League. There is also an upper limit for bidding club bids.


    Unlike the 19-year-old Saviola, who not only performed amazingly in the World Youth Championship, but also in the three years from 16 to 19, he seriously played the main force in the Argentine giants bed team and scored nearly 50 goals. This has been tempered by professional leagues, and it has been proved that the rich have the bottom of their hearts when they pay for it.


    Like Reyes, which only has outstanding performance in the same age group, not many people dare to gamble on it.


    Among the English clubs, Chelsea is the highest bidder. Bates estimated that he wanted to tap Millwall''s genius to achieve a double victory, giving a 7 million pounds offer.


    In the end, Reyes moved to a low-level league club.


    On the advice of his family, he returned to Spain and reported to the capital Madrid. Of course, he did not go to Real Madrid. Although Real Madrid also offered a price, Florentino seems not interested in this unknown little doll, which is symbolic. The local quotation was 4 million pounds. If you can get it, you can take it.


    Reyes joined Real Madrid''s rival, Atletico Madrid.


    Atletico, who is in the West B, was sorrowfully dropped to the second level after 70 years in the previous season!


    Last season, the team chaosed anyway, but unfortunately at the end of the season due to the goal difference and stayed in the second team, but the team''s ambitions and heritage are still there, this season cleaned up some veterans, the structure of a new lineup mainly for young people, Reyes It is precisely when I saw that there must be a chance to get up there. Torres, who is younger than him, would already have to pick up the beam?


    Atletico can''t get much cash, but it can be paid in installments.


    Taking into account the details of Atletico Madrid, Aldridge does not believe that the other party will be in debt or unable to repay in the future. After all, it is only 9.5 million pounds, which will be paid off in four years. Only 1 million pounds will be given this year.


    Maybe Atletico will return to La Liga next season, and they will be able to pay off at once. Fortunately, it is the veteran strong team of the Spanish capital. No matter how poor, there are still old signs.


    If you do not agree with Atletico Madrid¡¯s offer and do not want to sell people to Chelsea, Aldridge can only agree to Manchester United¡¯s ¡ê5.5 million offer, and the loss is as much as ¡ê4 million.

 Chapter 651： Expensive is not expensive

    When they hit the world, everyone worked together, thinking to one place, trying to make one place, and waiting for a stable position, it is inevitable that people are impetuous.


    Millwall¡¯s preparations for the new season took place in London, wherever he went. Even the friendly games invited others to the Lion King Stadium, organized a charity game called the Lion King Cup, and invited Paris Saint-Germain and Atletico Lisbon , Inter Milan, plus Millwall, four teams play a single round ranking game, each team plays three games, according to the points to determine the ranking.


    Before that, there was another warm-up match with Bundesliga runner-up Schalke 04 last season, which was also played at the Lion King Stadium. After these four friendly matches, the fifth warm-up was the pre-season charity shield, and then, the new season The journey will officially start.


    The team cannot run out of money every summer. The pre-season preparations last season did not do very well. Some players played the European Cup and went to Asia with the team for a lap. The impact on the new season is obvious. of.


    There will be a World Cup next summer, and Millwall will have a lot of Chinese feet. This summer, Aldridge made up his mind to let the team prepare for the peace of mind and relax, avoid the journey, and cultivate as much energy as possible.


    After all, in the new season, he has a lot of energy to disperse to the national team. The World Preliminaries group stage came to the final sprint. England has a decisive battle, and there is no loss in a game. Even if it is qualifying, prepare for the World Cup, the national team¡¯s work There must be no carelessness at all.


    On the day of team training in the new season, before 9 a.m., many fans outside the Leo training base were hanging out. In the days of the professional league truce, the biggest fun for local fans is to come here to watch the youth team¡¯s player training games. In summer, In the U15 charity championship, Millwall won the championship again, and two small players shocked the whole of England.


    14-year-old Messi and 13-year-old Aguero teamed up to create a field slaughter. It was a godly performance in the same age competition. From the regional knockout to the finals of the regional teams, there were 11 games in total. The game, one game every two days, finished in 20 days, in these 11 games, Millwall U15 Junior team scored a total of 76 goals! Messi and Aguero arranged 68, the two scored the top two scorers, Messi 39 goals, Aguero 29.


    There is also a media report on Fleet Street throughout the event, and the sponsors are hyped up to attract attention.


    The media evaluation is: This is more like a match between the Millwall professional team and the All England amateur team.


    If it weren¡¯t for Messi and Aguero, there was absolutely no possibility of falsely reporting their age, otherwise the outside world would doubt the age of Millwall¡¯s team.


    Fans go to watch these little guy games and have been habitually looking for Millwall''s future big star. Joe Hart, Bynes, Messi, Aguero who played in this game are all reserved for fans He was deeply impressed, and Messi and Aguero¡¯s extraordinary performance made them both have fans early. Many teenagers of the same age listed them as idols.


    The only depression was Rooney, who suffered a foot injury after playing a game.


    This morning, the fans saw that there were constantly high-end cars entering the club, and there were also sports cars pulling the wind. After seeing the fans, they cheered and applauded.


    The first team players are back for pre-season training!


    Fans are smiling, which means that the new season is about to begin, and they can experience the exciting game.


    Crazy lion, continue to rush, don''t stop!


    Aldrich came to the training ground with laughter from his coaching staff, and many players were chatting there. Ronaldinho was headed by the ball to entertain himself, Pirlo was bad, and suddenly hit Ronaldinho¡¯s body, Ronaldinho To stagger, still put the ball firmly on the head, and then make a face at Pirlo.


    "The holiday is over, starting today, special training for the devil!"


    Aldridge said solemnly as he walked up.


    The players were all stunned, and the ball on Ronaldinho''s head fell to the ground.


    "Oh, it scares you! It¡¯s the same rhythm as before. I¡¯m not talking nonsense. The training intensity is from weak to strong. After a month, we will start the new season in perfect condition. For the new season, I will not say anything, every Every game gave me the best. We have to strive for the championship of every event. Why? The **** champion should be ours!"


    As soon as Aldridge''s voice fell, the players yelled and the players whistled.


    After starting to jog, the players roared with joy and unanimously, repeatedly repeating Aldridge''s words.


    "The **** champion is ours!"


    "The **** champion is ours!"


    ...


    "Eh? What are they calling?"


    "It seems to be scolding!"


    "Who scolded?"


    "Uh, it doesn''t seem to be, it seems to say a champion."


    "Listen clearly, they seem to be singing, the champion should be ours. And fuck!"


    "Haha, yes, yes, the **** champion should be our crazy lion!"


    Fans outside the training ground listened to the players shouting with excitement at the side of the training ground. They were infected by this atmosphere, and they showed an irresistible smile outside the training ground. They quickly spread out.


    On the first day of the summer preparations for the Wild Lions training camp, it was announced that the new season was about to harvest the championship trophy!


    Aldrich is satisfied with the players'' condition on the first day, the most important thing is the mentality.


    Twenty years ago, being able to play abroad with the team would be equivalent to traveling at public expense, and the players were very excited.


    Now, players go everywhere they want to go wherever they want. They go outside to play business games with the team, attend business events, and deal with sponsors. They are also exhausting!


    At dusk, Aldridge sat in the office to see the report of the medical department. The players returned to the team. The first thing is to go to the medical department to check the physical condition. If there are special circumstances, the coaching staff needs to formulate a training plan.


    Well, it¡¯s normal for players to slack off during the holidays. As long as it¡¯s not the case of being skinny two months ago, and the shape of the body is like a personal change, coaches can accept it. Ronaldinho weighs 7 pounds and works hard. After training, it is no problem to lose 5 pounds in a month.


    Boom Boom Boom!


    "Please come in."


    Aldrich looked up and saw Paul Ferreira walked in. After sitting across from the desk, Ferreira looked politely and said: "Boss, after my careful consideration, I decided to go to another club. My situation here, the head must know clearly, Millwall''s cultivation of me, the contract treatment given to me, the coach and teammates here are all very good, but, just..."


    "Just you want more opportunities, right?"


    Aldridge spoke the rest for him, and Ferreira nodded frankly.


    Paul Ferreira, 22, has played only 18 times last season. If Millwall can go further in two domestic cups, he will definitely make more than 20 appearances, but even 20, this is still far away. Not enough.


    When he was his age, there was no longer any mention of physical fitness, and there was no way to start bursts like the Glenshare and don''t tell how many start-up bursts in a game. It was okay to play a few games in the first two years.


    At the age of Ferreira, at least one game a week is no problem, just like Ashley Cole wants to rent out to work out, Zambrotta, Pirlo, once young players, have now come to a season Completed more than 40 games at a stage where there is no physical problem.


    Aldridge was silent for a moment, he wanted Ferreira to stay, but like Ferreira stayed, if Ferreira stayed, unless Schneider suddenly fell and there was no recovery, then Ferreira still had Opportunity to take the lead in Millwall, otherwise, Ferreira is destined to be a substitute for the next two years, there is no guarantee of playing time, and the improvement of experience ability will be impossible to talk about, will be squandered on the bench of Millwall .


    "Have you considered where to go in the past?"


    Aldrich asked this, Ferreira knew that the boss had agreed to his departure.


    Ferreira is young. In the past, he played well in the bench and did not have many amazing performances. The top giants will certainly not consider buying him to play the main force. Ferreira himself knows this, he said: "I want to go back Portuguese development."


    Aldridge nodded and promised to help him contact the new owner.


    Portugal¡¯s top three giants, Sporting Lisbon, Porto, Benfica, are not the best in Europe in the contemporary era, and only dominate the small Portuguese country. The vertical strength comparison is in the first class, and it can¡¯t be squeezed into the super popular column. Ferreira returned to Portugal. All three giants are interested in introducing him. Eventually, Porto took him away from the Lion King Stadium for ¡ê7 million.


    After Ferreira left, the coaching staff was worried about the thickness of the back lineup.


    There are only seven linebackers left. In addition to the main four, there are three remaining, Balzali, Metzelder, and a Neil. Neil is a take-all in the backcourt, and both full-backs can After fighting, Aldridge thought about it and decided not to recruit.


    Neal¡¯s loyalty is stronger than he thought. In the summer, some teams want to rob him, but he said in an interview: "Leave Millwall? One day, it must be the leader who left the club. I will be better than him. Leaving later, as if I had come to Millwall earlier than him."


    Calculated, Neal''s qualifications are deeper than Audridge.


    Before Aldridge came to take over the Lions, Neal was in the youth team. The two players left that year, Keller left in the summer, and Neil continued to stay. Although he is not the main force, he is the most in the Lions. People who are qualified to be loyal.


    The lineup was crowded last season. After streamlining the staff this season, Audridge strives for stability in the new season, no longer recruits, and can create more appearance opportunities for Neal. At the end of the year, 28-year-old Schneider, The 24-year-old Zambrotta, the 28-year-old Materazzi, and the 31-year-old Southgate. This main defense line is at the peak of the players. As long as there are no injuries, they will play full time. It''s no problem, but Aldridge doesn''t like to squeeze players'' energy and use players in an endless manner. Three reserve players are theoretically enough, which is not enough. Then recruit newcomers from the lower echelon.


    After more than a week of training, the first warm-up match for the Lions came as scheduled.


    Schalke 04 lost the league title in the last minute of last season. It was a great joy and sorrow. He came to the new season to fight hard. He wants to show his skills in the UEFA Champions League. The summer warm-up game is very serious. After exaggerating the score and defeating the German team, the whole team came to London to prepare for the baptism of the mad lion who has won the Champions League consecutively in the past two seasons!


    Warm-up games, warm-up-based, Aldridge does not need to practice tactics, the team''s main frame remains intact, the purpose of the warm-up game is very simple, so that players find the feeling of the arena.


    A turbulent warm-up match came to an end, Schalke 04 was scored 3 goals by Millwall. Although Schalke 04 did not reach the best state, Millwall obviously did not exert force. The Premier League, the Champions League do not Xianshan made his opponent feel a huge gap in strength.

 Chapter 652： Finally announced!

    Paris Saint-Germain, Inter Milan, Atletico Lisbon, three teams arrived in London in late July and will play the Lions Cup charity match at the Lion King Stadium.


    Millwall gave an expensive appearance fee, but due to Millwall''s attention and great influence, 70% of the income of the event broadcast fee is enough to cover the appearance fees of the three, and the rest, including tickets, Millwall can earn more than 2 million.


    Fleet Street really served Millwall and now can make money without leaving home.


    2 million is not much to listen to. It is the budget of the rich giants. For La Liga or Bundesliga downstream teams, it is equivalent to a transfer fee for important players.


    Fans of Mad Lions are happy. Even if Lions didn¡¯t go to the Far East for gold in the past years, but the friendly games are also played everywhere.


    Millwall defeated Sporting Lisbon in the first game, warming up two consecutive victories.


    But it caused suspicion on Fleet Street.


    Whether it was Schalke 04 or Sporting Lisbon, several Italian internationals in the formation did not fill the whole game, basically only played half, and they were replaced in the second half.


    It''s still early for the transfer window to close. The Italian media chanted "Pirlo''s home, Zambrotta, come back soon."


    In an interview, Aldridge said firmly: "Millwall will not have any players left in the summer! I know Pirlo, Zambrotta, and other players are connected with other teams in the media, but they I won¡¯t go anywhere, just stay at Millwall, and be with you to make a new season and strive to achieve greater achievements."


    The reason why the Italian media over the past three days released rumors that Pirlo they will join the Serie A giants, the root is still in Pirlo these players, they themselves have the idea to return to Italy.


    But Aldridge tried hard to convince them to stay, and the reason was simple.


    Next year is the World Cup, the Italian national team is very competitive, you stay in Millwall, you are definitely the focus, as long as you do not have problems, your performance will definitely be guaranteed.


    But if you go back to Italy, go to a new team, a new coach, a new team environment, a new technical and tactical system, and a new league style, many factors will make the new season unpredictable. An abnormal performance, or a downturn for a while, this may affect the prospects of the national team.


    The mentor and the disciple did not clarify the words, and everyone expressed their hearts.


    From the reason for Aldridge to persuade them, they actually reached a silent agreement with each other.


    The 01-02 season was the last season they played for the Lions.


    After the World Cup, they will return to Italy.


    At that time, when the backbone players such as Southgate, Nedved, Larson and other players were more than 30 years old, it is bound to usher in the construction of the third generation of new crazy lions!


    Compared with the first generation of crazy lions reaching their peak, the main force of the second half of the team is running forward, the second generation of crazy lions can go to today, and maintain the main frame for another season, this is already commendable, Aldridge does not complain about who, people Everyone has their own ambitions, and everyone''s situation is different. If he is an Italian, he is famous for playing football, and he wants to return to his hometown. What?


    This is a kind of soul''s bondage, it is a kind of instinct.


    In the second game of the Lions Cup, Millwall vs Paris Saint-Germain.


    Aldridge and Fernandez played again. Last time, it was already 97 years. Millwall eliminated the defending champion Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-final of the European Winners Cup. Four years later, Fernandes went to the palace to teach Paris Saints Germanic, against Millwall is no match.


    When Paris Saint-Germain entered the venue, the fans of the Lions applauded enthusiastically.


    Many fans raised a crazy lion jersey with the number 19 printed on both hands, with the name of Glennshire printed on it.


    The seven-year veteran had just left the team and returned to the Lion King Stadium in less than a month. Although he was an opponent, the fans were still grateful for their late arrival.


    Aldridge and Glenchard hugged and talked with each other alone and asked about his situation in Paris. Glenchard seemed to be affected by the atmosphere of the scene, and his speech was a bit unnatural. Later, he also joined Millwall¡¯s starting player. Group photo, took a weird photo of 12 people.


    This is Millwall¡¯s third warm-up match. The players¡¯ physical condition and competitive status have returned to a certain strength stage. Compared with the first two games, they played tepidly, but today they played with Paris Saint-Germain very beautifully. The fast pace is just a few mistakes.


    This kind of mistake is easy to understand. Players'' awareness of kicking is basically not retrogressive. Therefore, the top-level sense of play is applied to teams that have not recovered to the peak of 80%, and there will be mistakes between teammates.


    70 minutes into the second half of the game, Millwall had a 3-1 lead, Aldridge replaced the main force of the block, let the young people go up for a rush, he and Fernandes stood on the sidelines to communicate, friendly match, not hurt.


    "If Millwall was this lineup and this strength, it is estimated that Paris Saint-Germain was completely eliminated in the first round at home, and the second round was just a form."


    Fernandes is very sighed. Speaking of which, now this lineup has changed a lot compared with that year. Compared with the original, he still remembers only Southgate, Schneider, Pirlo, Larson, Ned Five people in Vader.


    Even goalkeeper Bout is not in the starting lineup today.


    Bute recovered from his injury, but he still has to wait for the opportunity to return to the main position in the new season. Palyuka performed bravely in the second half of last season and was a hero of Millwall¡¯s defending league and Champions League. Aldridge does not It may be that Palyuka will be directly put on the bench in the new season, but Palyuka¡¯s age determines that he cannot represent Millwall¡¯s future, and Bout is the main force for long-term support in the next few years, so it takes a while to wait. An opportunity to put it bluntly is that Palyuka''s state has declined. When his performance is not good, he will be lowered to the bench. Before Palyuka joined, Aldridge made it clear to him that he did not personally There will be opinions, not to mention playing on the bench at Millwall. Due to the many games in England and the intensive schedule, Millwall''s backup goalkeeper is by no means looking at the role of the water dispenser.


    "Alas, this kind of thing is not easy to say. Anything can happen on the football field. Your statement is too pessimistic. I will comfort you. If Millwall met Paris Saint-Germain in the championship season, who will die? It¡¯s really hard to say.¡±


    Aldrich''s jokes made Fernandez stunned, and then he smiled and shook his head.


    That''s right, this idea of ??Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong is really mediocre.


    The final result of the match was 4:2. Millwall won two games in a row. Inter Milan''s opponent in the third game had a win and a tie. In the third game, the two teams confronted each other and decided to warm up the charity cup.


    At the end of the game, Schneider and Glenn Charles exchanged jerseys. The two of them have the best relationship in the team. The two of them blessed each other and reached out to hold the picture together. , Will be a precious scene in their memory.


    Aldridge held a club press conference with great interest the day after the game.


    Reporters from Fleet Street came to Millwall and wanted to see for themselves. What was Millwall''s only signing for the entire summer!


    Kaka''s transfer, after "a lot of hard work", was finally completed!


    On the stage in the press conference hall, Aldridge stood side by side with Kaka, set against the sunny and handsome young man Kaka, 25-year-old Aldridge, but looked a bit vicissitudes, but the two They are all handsome guys, standing together and being photographed, not surprisingly even on the cover of a fashion magazine.


    Aldridge handed the No. 22 jersey to Kaka.


    Kaka smiled with the jersey on, showed it for a while, put on the jersey, and then sat down with Aldridge in front of the stage.


    Aldridge was in a good mood and said to the microphone: "Today, Millwall can proudly announce that we have signed a talented player with the ability to reach the world level in the future. He is from Brazil. People can call him Kaka. As you all know, the names of Brazilian players are too long, and the name of Kaka, I am sure that there will be countless fans in the future, Millwall has always focused on long-term construction, and signing Kaka is that we adhere to the traditional In fact, I firmly believe that he will leave his own great footprint at the Lion King Stadium."


    Aldrich seems to be playing a one-man show.


    The reporters looked at each other.


    The contradiction in their hearts!


    Picky?


    Millwall has a tradition of picking up trash.


    A few years ago they also laughed at Millwall''s signing of Klose''s amateur league waste. Last season Klose''s performance cracked their faces.


    Today, this Kaka, a good origin, the famous Brazilian S?o Paulo, 19 years old, but in the S?o Paulo Club, can not find his official record of playing in the game.


    Since Kaka finalized his transfer to Millwall this fall last summer, the S?o Paulo Club only provided Kaka training guarantees and did not allow Kaka to play in the La Liga.


    Speaking of it, there aren''t many games. The games of the Bajia are from spring to winter. Kaka has no games in the first half of the year. He hasn''t even had a debut in his career.


    In fact, S?o Paulo did nothing more than worry about Millwall¡¯s return.


    Kaka performed well and Milwall would buy it.


    Kaka''s performance is not good, Millwall may repent, this player will hit the hands, not making money.


    Anyway, if he is not allowed to play, the Sao Paulo club is making a profit, so why bother to take the risk?


    Because of this, Fleet Street couldn¡¯t find the game data for this kid¡¯s professional league. Millwall bought it for 6 million pounds. This amount of money is too much, not too much for the giants. Said less. The Midstream Club can buy one. The main player in the year of the fight.


    The reporters tacitly feared being beaten, so they did not dare to question Aldridge''s rhetoric that Kaka had joined.


    It''s cold.


    The first time Kaka saw this scene, he was not at ease, but instead found it interesting. His eyes rolled around and the corners of his mouth curved. It felt like he was selling maliciously.


    Aldridge was laughed angrily, reaching over and swiping in front of him, pointing at all the reporters, laughing and cursing: "I know what you are thinking! Don''t even think about it! In 1995, Millwall first appeared in the Premier League, you Someone turned over the old account and said that Mildwall had a bad sign before signing Nedved. Nedved was not a genius, or that year, you questioned whether Shevchenko was a genius. After that, you doubted Klose, so Years have passed, do you still not understand? Now that the FA has passed the review, I agree with Millwall to use the genius clause to introduce Kaka, which means that Kaka does have extraordinary talents. In other words, Kaka comes to the Premier League. , Is the luck of the Premier League, because he can bring attention and influence to the Premier League, just like Nedved, when Shevchenko left, didn''t you all regret it? That means that!"

 Chapter 653： Good boy

    Aldrich amused this group of reporters.


    It''s not that the reporter has no face, no skin, no dignity.


    It was Aldridge who broke his mind.


    They bowed their heads and laughed.


    Will the three FA football clubs be ridiculous?


    Ghosts believe it!


    Especially now that Aldridge has another national team coach role, Millwall signed a "genius" with no professional record even in the professional league. The FA has actually passed, although on the surface it seems a lot of setbacks, from six From month to August, it takes more than two months to finally complete. Which reporter who has been immersed in the football circle for many years can''t understand clearly?


    But Aldridge''s words are really irrefutable.


    None of the players introduced by Millwall''s genius clause was criticized.


    But what kind of persuasion does this transfer prove with the results?


    The FA has no ability to know the prophet.


    Most of the reporters came to run the news and join in the excitement, but there are also people who are following Millwall seriously, and David Miller is certainly one of them.


    Millwall is a powerful public enemy in Europe. The opponents studied them. The success of these years has made people outside the football circle also study Millwall, such as Cambridge Business School.


    In the context of the collapse of the football economic environment, most teams rely on external channels to obtain development capital, even Real Madrid is no exception. When Florentino came to power, Real Madrid was carrying nearly 300 million debts. Now, Real Madrid is planning to sell land in exchange for development funds, which is an alternative embodiment of the Spanish government-business cooperation, but in essence, it is no different from some family-managed teams that rely on capitalist investment for development, but only the identity of the investor.


    And like Millwall and Manchester United, this self-sufficient and profitable club is particularly attractive.


    Millwall''s seven-year change in football skills and tactics has been analyzed and studied by countless people. Generally speaking, he has become stronger step by step. He has taken a pragmatic route, from defensive counterattacks to positional battles, to going to the strong team away. The curve of oppressive offense grows from weak to strong.


    And Millwall''s club business development has also begun to be studied by insiders or economists.


    Excellent youth training brings the stability of competition, but also brings generous returns and reduces the development cost of the club.


    Commercialization is frantically plundering the football market.


    Millwall''s successful operation is listed as a product of the Ajax youth training system and the commercialization of Manchester United in the early 1990s. The two complement each other to promote and produce a more positive chemical reaction.


    David Miller did not agree with the article published by the Cambridge Business School. It seems that the professors of the business school have done a lot of research and released a summary report.


    But still that sentence, it is meaningless to use the results to disprove the process.


    Excellent youth training, what is good youth training?


    Is it enough to have a good coach?


    Certainly not enough.


    What a clever woman can''t cook without rice!


    There are no geniuses and seedlings, do you rely on the coach to make money?


    In the eyes of David Miller, he believes that Millwall''s success is flexible.


    There are many teams whose development plans are very rigid.


    If you want youth training, then youth training goes all the way to black. When the youth training product fails and fails again, until the chairman steps down and the boss wants to cry without tears, he will wake up.


    However, some teams are blind to money, and cannot get immediate results.


    The flexibility of Millwall is to eliminate hidden dangers!


    The strong twist is not sweet, there are many teams whose main force is forced to leave when they leave the team firmly, the result? The overwhelming majority is a result of a double loss. There are contradictions within the team and the record is affected. The team also missed the opportunity to sell players to maximize profits.


    Millwall has never stayed for the players who are determined to be determined. The outside world often thinks that if those strong players stay in Millwall, Millwall will be unimaginably powerful. David Miller is not Agree, he feels that it will weaken Millwall, because it will inevitably affect internal unity, and only a united team has a strong foundation.


    As for Millwall''s adherence to the tradition of youth training, this is indeed true. Over the years, meticulous efforts have been made to build a youth training system, which has sent a lot of fresh blood to the team.


    But this season, it is obvious that the quality of Millwall''s youth training has declined this year.


    Only De Rossi can be transferred from the youth team to the first team!


    where is the problem?


    It''s just that there are fewer good seedlings.


    Millwall would rather let go of more than 10 youth players, rather than transfer them to the first team, promising them enough playing time.


    This is another manifestation of Millwall''s flexibility.


    Such flexibility is in line with the brutal survival rules of the football world.


    The capable is high, not whether there is a youth training background. Youth training is not a necessary product, but a better supplement and component of the first team.


    Brazilian Kaka, who was signed today, is no longer able to become a young player for Millwall, but Aldridge still let go of more than 10 young players of the same age and gave the outsider in the first team. Left a seat.


    David Miller believes that this is the secret of Millwall''s success, advancing with the times, not being bound by traditional ideas, nor blindly fixed in a model according to past success.


    "Aldrich, can you elaborate on this new aid? His characteristics, position on the court, what role will he play at Millwall in the new season?"


    In order to confirm his point of view, David Miller must understand the details of the player Kaka.


    Even if there is no performance data for Kaka Professional League, David Miller believes that Kaka can be judged in the mind of Aldridge and the potential evaluation level in the Millwall formation.


    Millwall has always been cautious in signing players, a 6 million pound investment, David Miller believes that its importance is no less than that of Henry''s transfer.


    Henry was bought for 10 million pounds, but at that time, Henry was already a member of the World Cup champions, and had a good performance in the league and in the European War.


    Kaka, who has never played in a professional league, has invested 6 million pounds, Millwall attaches great importance to it, and must be more cautious than when buying Henry, because Henry''s strength is obvious to all, Kaka is unknown, only their Scouting observation report.


    Just by knowing the location and technical characteristics of Kaka.


    When David Miller compares the more than 10 players that Millwall let go, he can know what level Kaka is at least.


    Aldrich was very happy with David Miller¡¯s question, and the senior reporter¡¯s question has always been relevant.


    "Well, Kaka is an attacking midfielder. He has speed, good technical skills under the feet, and a certain organizational ability. His dribbling breakthrough and long shot are very characteristic. The closer to the penalty area, he The greater the threat."


    "Are you saying that he will be the next Nedved?"


    Aldridge waved his hand and said: "No, I would never say that a certain player will become the second who is who, who is not, no player is repeated, each player has its own characteristics, Kaka is Kaka, but if compared Nedved''s words, his defense is not as good as Nedved, but his offensive talent will be stronger than Nedved."


    Wow!


    The reporter at the scene was really taken aback.


    Generally speaking, the head coach would not say so bluntly who is stronger than anyone, but Aldridge said that Kaka''s offensive talent is stronger than Nedved.


    Nedved!


    Milwall''s God of War.


    Does that really matter?


    Aldrich thinks it''s okay. Nedved will be 30 next year. How can he compare like a young man? At this age, self-knowledge is the most basic. If a player stronger than his offense is rare, it is absolutely nonsense, and he, Nedved is Nedved. His offensive, defensive, organizational, breakthrough, spiritual will and other aspects are all combined together to be the God of War. In a certain special ability, many players are stronger than him. .


    David Miller didn¡¯t make a fuss, he was rational. Kaka was only better at attacking talent than Nedved. In other words, defense was not as good as Nedved, and attacking was only a talent. Before it became a strength, everything was Imaginary.


    He thought that Millwall''s left will be controlled by Ronaldinho for a long time. Another young genius originally thought that he would succeed Nedved in the future.


    "Can you compare Joe Cole and Kaka?"


    The acute question of David Miller made Aldridge want to beat him.


    Look, in this case, the head coach can''t say who is better than anyone. Both are young people. In addition, they will be competitors. Aldrich perfunctory, saying that both have advantages.


    David Miller thought he asked a nonsense.


    If Joe Colby is stronger than Aldridge, why should Aldrich buy Kaka?


    After David Miller finished his analysis, he raised his head in shock and looked at Kaka.


    This big boy who looks carefree and sunny, has high hopes in Aldridge''s heart, which may be no less than Ronaldinho!


    Other reporters are only routinely running news, but David Miller has made new discoveries. He decided to follow Kaka¡¯s performance in the future. If Kaka can reach the height of Ronaldinho, he really cannot. Imagine how far Millwall, who has already established the status of the king in UEFA, will be strong!


    After the press conference, Aldridge took Kaka to the training ground to meet the first team and introduced the newcomer to his teammates. After Aldridge left, Ronaldinho was tricky and was not polite to fellow Brazilians.


    He said to Kaka: "The Millwall locker room has traditions. The new players have to do two things. First, sing a song for us. Second, **** in public to prove that you are a kind of man!"


    Some club locker rooms do have a weird tradition, but Ronaldinho said it was purely tricky.


    Kaka was stupid, or shocked.


    It was Nedved who showed Kaka that it was a false alarm.


    Singing is a must-have for newcomers, but it¡¯s just that everyone is watching it.


    Kaka blushed and sang a song, and then Southgate chuckled and said that the team would hold a welcome party for him at night.


    But Kaka still blushed and said that he would go home after training...


    Millwall first-team players were shocked by this good boy, and finally, they were also "impressed", changing the dinner to welcome Kaka to noon the next day.


    Two days later, Millwall ushered in the fourth warm-up match against Inter Milan.


    The aliens haven¡¯t come back yet, but it¡¯s not too far from the comeback. Inter Milan last season¡¯s anticlimactic finals ended in fifth place in the league. They didn¡¯t even qualify for the Champions League. Lippi failed to revive the big international. Moratti Ben This season, Odric''s old opponent Cooper was invited.


    In this summer''s warm-up match, Aldridge frequently met familiar faces. He only played with Cooper in the quarter-finals of the Champions League quarter-finals a few months ago. He did not expect to have another game with Cooper.

 Chapter 654： First class

    Aldrich is not an Inter Milan fan, but many friends around him claimed to be Nerazzuri in his previous life. When talking about Inter Milan during this period, Nerazzuri generally felt that the transfer operation of Inter Milan was a failure, especially when he let go of the West. Dorf and Pirlo felt like they were pitted by their rival AC Milan.


    In this life, seeing Moratti invited Cooper, although the time node has not yet arrived, but like Sidorf in the battle, it must have entered the countdown to leave.


    This does not require the butterfly effect to affect, Aldridge is very determined.


    Playing against Cooper for two consecutive seasons, Aldridge understands the opponent''s technical and tactical system.


    Playing anti-reverse, the formation is 442 pairs of back waists, relying on long pass side pass, from the player''s position, there is no room to live in the front waist, Pirlo, Seedorf, and also known as Xiao Qi How can there be a place for Dalma in Dane?


    Gugli, Consicao, these players who are difficult to stand at the first-class level in Inter Milan, because they are wing players, they are reused.


    However, during this period, Inter Milan swept away the weak sense of sight in the past, the reason is also very simple, Cooper''s anti-anti-tactics, Inter Milan''s cohesive support.


    FIFA encourages offense and wants to make football more pleasing to the eye, but offense is always risky. Many small teams do not have the capital to play offensive football at all, but there is always room for survival, that is, anti-anti.


    The anti-countermeasures of the squad are good, and they can also create miracles, such as Martin O''Neill who used to play against Aldridge.


    If the big team and the stronger team play anti-reverse, the scene is not good-looking, but there is a record bottom line guarantee.


    In the football world, I often hear that a strong team wants to play a gorgeous offense, but it is smashed, but seldom hear a strong team play a defensive and flop.


    With Inter Milan''s team, there is a coach like Cooper who emphasizes anti-anti-court. On the scene, it will not give people a sense of sight that the defense line is easily penetrated, in other words, it is slightly tough.


    The final game of the Lions Cup, the new coach of Inter Milan in the new season, the new formation and the new lineup, still need a process of drill and running. At least the first two Inter Milan feels good, one tie and one win, zero losses There is only one goal.


    The reason why Millwall is considered strong by the media in the new season is because they do not need to practice tactical formations, and the team¡¯s main framework is completely preserved. As long as there is no problem with themselves, they have an advantage over other giants in Europe, especially It is against the background of the major reshuffle of the major giants in Serie A.


    At the Lion King Stadium, Aldridge wore a casual T-shirt today and chatted with Cooper for a while before the game. The official relationship between Millwall and the Italian club, the best is the Milan duo, and there are many exchanges between high-level officials. The opening of the stadium was brought to AC Milan. This year, a charity cup was held, and Inter is also willing to support it. This is the exchange between the clubs, which helps to enhance the brand image of the club together. Football, not a one-man show, a team It''s not fun.


    The new season is about to start, and after finishing this game, five days later, Millwall and Liverpool club Cardiff Millennium Stadium will fight against the Charity Shield.


    The fans accumulated a summer of enthusiasm and began to release. The Lion King Stadium was full of seats. This small local friendly cup competition, as long as Millwall is unbeaten in this game, he can win the championship, and today, Millwall sent the team The main force started the battle, which made the fans who watched the ball first feel that the trip was worthwhile and was worth the fare.


    There is no substitute quota for the friendly match. New aid Kaka also sat on the bench. After the game started, Aldridge called Kaka to his side and said to him: "Concentrate on watching the game while thinking. Don¡¯t just stare at your eyes. For the ball, pay more attention to the running position without players."


    Kaka nodded seriously, then watched the game intently.


    Inter Milan played well in the first two games, the opponents were actually not strong, and today facing Millwall, they were suppressed from the beginning, and with Cooper playing anti-anti, Millwall entered logically. In the rhythm of the tough battle.


    "Kaka, maybe you only know that Millwall has won four Intercontinental Cup championships and four league titles in Europe in the past five years. These are glory, but they cannot give you an intuitive understanding of Millwall''s current stage and future survival. ."


    Kaka heard Aldrich''s words, and he thought after thinking about it.


    When he first arrived, Millwall was only a historical and environmental understanding, but in terms of professional nature, that is, football, Millwall, the Premier League, European football, in his mind is actually a blank concept.


    "From the summer of 1997, more than half of Millwall¡¯s opponents in the league will use the iron barrel to deal with us. By last season, this almost became the norm, especially in the European War, we encountered many first-class The team also began to use the iron barrel array, the ultimate defensive counter-tactics to deal with us. The reason for the technical tactics on the pitch is more complicated, but its practical sentence can be summarized: Millwall''s attack is too strong."


    Aldridge''s voice was soft, but Kaka heard his heart fluctuating.


    Millwall''s decisive attack, the goal of the plum blossoms, and the interpretation of the big scene of speed and passion, it is hard not to be exciting.


    "This is the status quo of Millwall''s survival. The opponents will limit our advantages with all their poles, and we have to use our advantages and characteristics to the extreme to defeat these opponents. What do you think of Millwall in your eyes? What are its characteristics and advantages?"


    Kaka¡¯s eyes were still on the teammates playing on the court. At this time, Millwall played a subtle cooperation. Ronaldinho, Henry, and Nedved completed a stunning transposition. .


    Henry pulled the edge, Ronaldinho moved in, and Nedved forward.


    At the same time, the running position caused Inter Milan''s defensive chaos. The mark did not change flexibly for the first time. He was confused by Millwall''s transposition rhythm. Ronaldinho picked up a pass in front of the penalty area and Nedved forwarded. The attacking Toldo then knocked the ball across the other side, and Larsson rushed to the empty goal.


    The Lion King Stadium erupted in warm cheers and applause, and the goal was beautiful and picturesque.


    Kaka felt his breath froze for two seconds.


    He saw that Ronaldinho was free when he came to the penalty area, thinking that Ronaldinho would have a long shot, but Ronaldinho passed to Nedved, who was anti-offside, he thought Nedved would break the door, but he did not expect When Larson ambushed on the other side, Nedved could still see and easily assist his teammates to break the goal.


    Millwall''s unexpected series of offensive ways is too scary. It seems that the audience''s brain can''t keep up with the reaction speed. You can''t guess the development trajectory of the next second of attack, which is a manifestation of creativity.


    "Tacit understanding, speed, team awareness, ball control skills."


    Kaka spoke out after analyzing the scenes he saw.


    "Well, what you said is indeed the characteristics and advantages of Millwall''s team. However, the last game is 11 individual players. Individual play will directly affect the entire team. Next, you carefully observe the individual of your teammates. Play, the role in the team, although we will have a lot of goals in the season to show the personal ability of the stars, but compared with more than 100 goals throughout the season, that proportion is not high, because a team does not It¡¯s possible that the star¡¯s personal extraordinary play wins more than 80% of the season.¡±


    Aldrich is actually curious about Kaka, and it is no exaggeration to say that Kaka conquered Aldridge in the two-day team training performance.


    This conquest did not stem from Kaka''s talent. He had the impression of Kaka''s peak performance. It is impossible for him to give Aldridge his ball skills in training.


    The most important thing is the style and awareness of playing.


    Kaka is a wonderful player among Brazilian players and even South American players.


    He clearly grew up in Brazil and received training in Brazil. According to the principle, it should have the nature of South American players. The style of the ball is free and romantic.


    Even Messi, who came to Millwall at the age of 10, couldn''t get rid of the characteristics of the South Americans. The improvisation of playing the ball was amazing.


    Ronaldinho''s scene when he first came to Millwall is vivid. The typical South American player has nothing to say about his personal technical talent, but his team consciousness is very weak.


    Kaka, if his nationality is not Brazilian, just look at his performance in training, basically would not doubt that he is a native European player, this is the wonderful place.


    The style of the ball is wide open, although it hasn''t been shaped yet, but it has a strong edge of the sword. The handling of the ball is decisive and natural, and abnormally there is no defect that young people are eager to express themselves.


    He has excellent team consciousness, solid basic skills, but instead of practicing hard work, putting Ronaldinho and Kaka together, I really doubt how the two of them might be a player bred by football soil?


    Today, Aldridge started the first lesson in Kaka.


    In the future, Aldridge first needs Kaka to recognize the club¡¯s situation on the field and the characteristics of the team, and then talk about Kaka personally, because the major premise of shaping players must be combined with the environment, otherwise Everything is empty talk.


    In the second half of the game, Inter Milan''s offense had no improvement, Cooper took a new role, and it was understandable to catch the defense first.


    Millwall leads the score, but he still has to fight hard.


    In the 57th minute, Ronaldinho controlled the ball on the wing and deliberately did not rush out the ball. After attracting three Inter players to defend, he then pulled the ball with one foot and kicked the ball to pass the ball from behind to the middle. The inserted Pirlo was driving the ball in the middle of the air, and did not rush out of the ball. At this time, the Inter defense was eager to make up for the empty, and he was involuntarily attracted by Pirlo. At this time, Pirlo passed the anti-cut route, and the precision was directly inserted into the interior. De Verde, the latter directly chose to attack the goal diagonally to the goal, Toldo saved the ball bravely, Henry followed in the middle to make a successful shot and sent the ball into the goal.


    After applauding for the goal, Aldridge turned to Kaka and said: "Just now, Ronaldinho attracted the opponent with his personal ability. You can see that he takes the rhythm of the ball to know that he is doing it intentionally. It is to create space for teammates, and Pirlo did not rush into the ball, the same way as Ronaldinho, and then sent a good pass. Each player has different capabilities and different characteristics. In this team, you not only have to Give full play to your biggest characteristics, and understand the characteristics of your teammates, don¡¯t try to imitate who you are, you know yourself, know what you are best at, and then practice strengths, the strongest, this will become your team¡¯s value, as for how Maximize your strengths, this is not the question you should think about, it is me, the job of the head coach. Remember, when all the basic abilities reach the standard, you must maximize your own characteristics, otherwise, You don¡¯t have any special skills."


    Kaka nodded solemnly, and the first class Aldridge gave him today would inevitably make him immortal and have a profound impact on his professional development.


    In the last 25 minutes, Aldridge directly changed the team, Inter Milan took the opportunity to pull back a goal, but before the final, Villa scored another goal, and finally a 3-1 score, Millwall''s fourth The warm-up match came to an end.


    Millwall began preparing for the Charity Shield, but it was at this time that the release of an autobiography caused an uproar in English football.

 Chapter 655： Headtohead

    Fleet Street''s preferences have caused a sensation. Recently, the transfer of clubs has attracted close to the end. Seeing the preparations of the teams, the finale transfer is estimated to be nothing to look forward to, but at this time, Manchester United star Stam''s autobiography Issuance has become the best topic for the speculation on Fleet Street.


    This autobiography is called "Headtohead".


    Two days later, he will lead his team to Cardiff. When Aldridge returns home in the evening, the figure flashes at the door of the community. The reporter of the Fleet Street newspaper tabloid, either acts alone, or sits in the interview car and sees Aldridge driving. When he returned, he blocked it.


    Aldrich doesn¡¯t yet know about the story of Stam¡¯s autobiography. In fact, the autobiography was released today. What are the contents? The publisher will not announce it in advance. Otherwise, will readers still buy it? Although it will promote a slogan like "Don''t watch regret for a lifetime" when building momentum, Aldridge never cares about these. A lot of players playing in England catch a lot of them, and there are many retired every year. Active, retired, a bit Children''s fame will make extra money out of this autobiography, who has the time to see the autobiography that is basically gossip?


    Being blocked by a group of journalists, Audridge felt helpless and assumed that it was estimated which media reported that Millwall would leave heavyweight stars?


    He dropped the car window and wanted to send the reporter away, otherwise it would affect other residents in the community. The people who live here are middle-class residents who like to be clean.


    "Mr. Hall, did you read Stam''s autobiography?"


    "Mr. Hall, how do you feel about your evaluation of Stam''s autobiography?"


    "Mr. Hall, will Millwall sue Manchester United? Stam''s autobiography broke the news that he left Millwall that year and Manchester United contacted him in violation of the rules. Do you know?"


    ...


    Aldridge was stunned by a series of questions.


    Stam''s autobiography, out?


    He led Millwall to step Manchester United under his feet, and naturally he did not mind what happened at Manchester United.


    It happened, looking in my eyes and thinking of it, I had some thoughts in my heart.


    For example, in the summer Manchester United spent huge sums of money to introduce Belon.


    Aldridge applauded!


    Sir Ferguson, good job!


    Millwall has eased a lot in the new season.


    Adriach bombarded the reporters with machine-gun-fired questions, and Aldridge remembered it.


    It seems that Stam was swept away by Manchester United this summer.


    The unlucky autobiography still happened, Aldridge wondered: How is it related to me again?


    With a straight face, he said honestly: "Sorry, I don''t know that Stam has an autobiography, nor what he wrote. I''m going home now. If there is a problem, we will talk again someday."


    The reporters did not expect that Aldridge had not read the autobiography, and Aldridge''s first-hand reaction was also recorded by them. After asking, he could not ask any more unexpected information, so the reporters dispersed and Aldridge drove home. .


    As soon as he opened the door, Aldridge saw Ewen sitting at the dining table, flipping through with a book in his hand, scolding while watching.


    "Unforgettable bastard!"


    "Liar! Stupid donkey! Hypocrisy!"


    Yiwen''s gaffe made both Burt and Earl dumbfounded, and the two little guys stared at Yiwen in a daze.


    "Hey, what''s wrong? Who hated you so much!"


    Yi Wen threw the book in his hand on the table in disgust, Aldridge glanced at it, "Headtohead", Stam''s autobiography.


    Aldrich stretched out his hand to pick it up, and Yiwen took the first step to pick up the book and threw it away.


    There was still anger on her beautiful face, and she said, "Don''t pick it up!"


    Aldrich smiled. When bombarded by the reporter¡¯s question, he roughly guessed that it is estimated that Stam would tell the story of the apprentice¡¯s breakup in his autobiography. Of course, Stam started from his perspective. Strange, it must have become a wicked chant.


    He picked up the book, kissed the foreheads of his two sons before sitting down on the throne, and then read the autobiography while eating.


    "Huh, I have a monologue. I really have to save face."


    Aldrich didn''t expect that he actually had a single big chapter in this autobiography.


    It is estimated that this is related to the requirements of the publisher. Aldrich does not have an autobiography. He only accepts an exclusive interview once a year. When the star who has intersects with him, if he has an autobiography, he must write some experience working with him. In an autobiography, Aldridge will occupy a lot of space, the main role is the England national team coach.


    "Hum, wait until you finish reading, to see if you are in a mood to eat."


    Yiwen is still angry, she has a bad impression of Stam, nothing else, because the other party is a traitor of a mad lion.


    Aldridge smiled while turning over the pages of the designated book: "Common Mind, Normal Mind, tell you that being the head coach, it is impossible to have a good relationship with all the players in the team."


    There are also conflicts of interest within the team, how can all be happy?


    The difference is that some people explode their dissatisfaction, while others can only hide it in their hearts.


    Aldridge opened the page of his chapter and read it while eating.


    At the beginning of this chapter, Stam described the inside story of his departure from Millwall.


    "My agent is Mr. Hall''s brother. The whole process of Manchester United''s private contact with me. I told Andrew Hall. Before that, I had an oral agreement with Audridge Hall. At the end of the season After that, he will agree to my transfer to Manchester United, but even so, it is a thing that knew the result a year ago. When the thing really happened, Aldridge Hall was as unacceptable as crazy, he would I decentralized the reserve team and declared that I was a traitor. I was not allowed to be with the teammates of the first team. I was worried that I would disturb the team¡¯s military. I encountered an unprecedented shame. It seems that in the eyes of Aldrich Hall, I am a The despicable villain will destroy the interior of Millwall just because of the imminent transfer. At that time, I even suspected that Aldridge Hall had delusions."


    puff!


    Hahaha!


    Aldridge spouted out the soup and laughed.


    Yiwen''s eyes looked like a monster, asking: "Are you really watching him describe your content?"


    Aldridge replied: "I only saw him review the part where the transfer left."


    "Huh, that''s just nonsense, it seems that you should consider asking a lawyer to sue him! By the way, what''s so funny?"


    Aldridge rolled his eyes and played with the taste: "He said I was crazy, and I suddenly thought, would Ferguson be crazy when he read this autobiography?"


    Yiwen''s expression was stunned, and she immediately lost her smile.


    Stam personally broke the news that Manchester United contacted him in private in violation of the rules, and Ferguson did not know what he would think.


    Aldridge continued to turn backwards. Surprisingly, the single chapter of Stam recorded Aldridge more than Aldridge imagined.


    He played Millwall for three years and used his understanding of Aldridge in these three years to make an evaluation and analysis from a personal perspective.


    "Aldrich Hall, the success of an experienced, good at manipulating the heart, opportunistic, cunning and treacherous."


    Aldridge was shocked by this series of adjectives.


    Not to mention, this autobiography wrote to him, which really interested him.


    "Before 1994, I had never heard of Millwall. Many teammates who came to the team must have not heard of this club before, but this club gave us a very shocking impression. Wealthy! Millwall¡¯s recruitment expenditure exceeded 10 million pounds, and the salary for us was 10 times higher or even higher than before. I only earned 200 pounds a week in the Netherlands and came to Millwall. My salary has increased by 20 times! Other players, as far as I know, Nedved¡¯s salary has increased by 30 times! His salary in the Czech Republic is unimaginably low. I thought the boss was generous at the time, but only when I left This may be the conspiracy of Aldrich Hall, who waved a check in the transfer market, created influence and sensation, and shaped Millwall¡¯s ambition."


    After reading this paragraph, Aldridge smiled and nodded, and said to himself: "Yes, yes, it is a conspiracy in itself. You don''t know how much money the club has. In fact, the club can only pay for two years after buying the people. The salary of the team is only, and the first year cannot be promoted, Millwall is absolutely finished."


    "Maybe in the eyes of many people, Aldridge Hall is a famous coach, but in the first two years, he did not have absolute authority in the locker room. We just obeyed his tactical arrangement. This is the basic principle of the player. I, Thuram, Southgate, Makelele, Larson, Nedved, a group of strong players have made this world-famous young coach, the reason is very simple, we have potential, there are Certain strength, the team we have formed is extremely strong in itself, but we were not well-known at the time, and our success laid the success of Aldrich Hall."


    "Aldrich Hall is hypocritical. At the end of the season in 1996, Millwall had the opportunity to stage the miracle of the promotion of the newly promoted horse. He worked hard, but he did not dare to express his inner true thoughts. One of my central defenders felt that the team¡¯s physical fitness and emotions had problems during the sprint. As a head coach, he couldn¡¯t find it, but he didn¡¯t dare to rotate, and he didn¡¯t dare to take down a main player. The team is crazy, yes, we are extremely eager to win the championship, and the main force is stronger than the substitute, so every game, the main player should play, even if it is not correct, I remember one game It''s very clear that Aldrich Hall kept reminding us to stand on the defensive before the game, the team played a defensive counterattack, he reiterated this time and again, but on the field, the players forgot everything, only the opponent''s eyes In the goal, we have to score, to win, to win the championship trophy, but in the end, we tied and lost the chance to compete. After the game, Aldridge Hall did not criticize us, but comforted us and put The responsibility rested on him. At that time, including me, all of us were very blamed, but touched by his words. It was also after that game that Aldrich Hall used caring and Tolerance won everyone¡¯s hearts. At that time, we were young and easily touched. Now I want to think that Aldrich Hall used non-athletic strength to win support. We were actually deceived by his hypocrisy. He even There is no courage to criticize us! Just use our hearts in the gap between loss and guilt and take advantage of it! I don¡¯t deny that he has the magic of letting players die desperately for him, but he didn¡¯t do it at the time. The coach¡¯s true ability, that season, we were the second runner-up in the Premier League. It was only one step away from the miracle. Audrey Hall was to blame, and because of this, I had the idea of ??transferring."


    Aldridge shook his head bitterly.


    Stam was really **** right!


    Lao Tzu never clamored to the outside that he is a handsome and how capable he is.


    Winning players¡¯ support and establishing locker room authority can¡¯t be said to have no record of merit, but at that time it was largely psychologically enveloping people. After all, they have lived for more than forty years, and experience has a certain foundation, so they should use their advantages. what.


    Then again, Stam, it''s easy to break, you are a real man, dare to be a dare, you are a tough guy, so you don''t have to complain about being swept away by Ferguson, and blame yourself.

 Chapter 656： New season start

    If Aldridge is a pure fan, he can not care about anything other than the star''s career, such as the **** scandal of Giggs and Terry, Maradona drug shooting, Cantona kicks the fans...but he is Working in this industry, the perception of players can not just stay on the field.


    Especially when the player''s behavior involves his job.


    It is normal and common for players to have an autobiography. Millwall stars will have an autobiography when they win the Champions League. It is expected that this fall, Nedved, Pirlo and their third autobiography will be on sale. Ronaldinho¡¯s The second autobiography will also be released.


    The autobiographical content is very diverse, like Cantona and Klinsmann''s best-selling autobiography, which is actually a collection of illustrations for fans to collect and appreciate their chic moments taken by photographers on the field.


    There are also people like Giggs, York, Cole who tirelessly praise teammates, praise teammates, praise teammates in their autobiography...


    Basically, the active star has an autobiography, either telling the history of inspirational struggle, or playing a recreational reading of the nature of the ticket, the avoidance of the restricted area will definitely be avoided, such as its own controversial events, Yakai evaded the autobiography. Na and Ginola, instead, sang praises to the French team and himself, boasting about his not-so-great player history.


    In the autobiography of Stam, Aldridge flipped through the other parts and came to a conclusion: Stam was expelled from Old Trafford. It¡¯s not wrong!


    Can things in the dressing room be exposed casually?


    Ten years later, people will talk about it, and they will always say that Ferguson''s iron fist, how and how, in fact, Stam was a taboo.


    The locker room of a team is isolated from the world. There is a need for communication within the team. A variety of things happen, and these things cannot be spread out, otherwise? Today, your teammates say something. Tomorrow you have an autobiography exposed. Who wants to speak? Who is willing to communicate with teammates? Without mutual trust, how can the team work together?


    If Stam no longer plays for Manchester United, his autobiography reveals the Manchester United locker room, which involves teammates and coaches. This is nothing. In the future, when Van der Mede has an autobiography, the Inter Milan locker room is still written in, but Stam is now Still playing for Manchester United, this approach is unintelligible.


    Just like ordinary people working in the workplace, they suddenly announced their dissatisfaction with colleagues and bosses, and broke the scandal between the boss and the company. In this world, will there be a company that does not fire such employees?


    Aldrich didn''t take this autobiography seriously. Stam described his part. In fact, a large part of it is correct. Stam has his own thoughts and opinions. Aldrich does not force others to take care of himself. Singing praises, but not guilty of struggling with Stam in front of the media, it is meaningless, and it seems to be a bargain.


    But this autobiography still caused an uproar.


    The next day, the media surging, Stam''s explosion of the Manchester United locker room was just a pastime, but he admitted that Manchester United had privately contacted the violations when he transferred, and the Fleet Street went online to the British Football Association and UEFA. , FIFA, and Millwall club pressure.


    FIFA Foreign Spokesperson Herron stood up for the first time and said: "If it matters, Millwall should have filed a complaint. After all, it was a long time ago."


    The unspoken line of FIFA''s position is to inadvertently ask about it.


    UEFA have stated one after another that they will not investigate the transfers revealed in Stam''s autobiography.


    The pressure is transferred to the inside of the FA. After all, it is a transfer between the English clubs. If the FA does not act, UEFA and FIFA can use the question to play.


    An FA Football spokesperson declared in an interview with The Mirror: "We will take this matter seriously, but we have not received a request from Millwall to investigate. If they complain directly to the FA, we must deal with it. Start an investigation."


    In the end, the initiative fell to Millwall.


    Aldridge was originally holding a charity shield pre-press conference on this afternoon. As a result, Stam''s autobiography changed the press conference.


    "Will Millwall complain about Manchester United?"


    "No. It was four years ago, and it has already passed."


    "Because what Stamm said was true, Millwall knew that Manchester United had contacted Stam privately, right? If the FA was involved in the investigation, Millwall did not complain at the time, Millwall Will also be caught in an investigation."


    Aldridge was a little helpless by reporters.


    Fuck!


    You want to say how shocking it is to touch players in private, is this not pure nonsense?


    There are so many transfers in UEFA all year round, how many private temptations are there? As much as the crucian carp crossing the river.


    In other words, Stam, the real man, wrote his own autobiography and broke the news, making it uncontrollable.


    Aldridge sighed softly in front of the full house of reporters: "In the summer of 1996, I did reach a verbal agreement with Stam, and he would be transferred to Manchester United one year later. In 97, Stam I reached a private agreement with Manchester United. I got the news. I was angry, not because he was leaving, but because he couldn¡¯t wait to make a plan to leave before the end of the season. No matter how he viewed me, I always kept between me and the players. The promise, or agreement, because this is the basis of trust and my principle. Therefore, Millwall did not complain to Manchester United at that time. If we complained to Manchester United, Stam would be ruined after leaving, my promise will be Unable to deliver, I will lose my credibility in front of the players."


    The reporters heard Aldridge¡¯s reply and did not ask any more. In view of this situation, Millwall did not intend to complain to Manchester United. If he now complains, Millwall¡¯s image will be damaged because they knew it four years ago. I didn¡¯t complain about it four years ago, but now I¡¯m complaining. It¡¯s a bit of a bad idea to take advantage of the fire. What¡¯s more, Millwall concealed it four years ago and should also be investigated. The complaint was submitted to the FA. No good.


    Richard of the Daily Mail asked solemnly: "Audrich, Stam''s negative evaluation of you in his autobiography, how do you respond?"


    Aldridge looked relaxed and smiled: "Response? Well, people have self-knowledge."


    Some reporters didn''t understand it yet, Richard lowered his head and thought, showing a mocking smile.


    He mocked Stam.


    Yes, self-knowledge, Stam said that Aldridge did not have the authority and ability of the head coach before, perhaps it is true, but Aldridge was not even 20 years old at that time! I haven''t played football, and my coaching career has just started. Why should I order the heroes in the locker room? Why criticize and blame the players excessively?


    It is this self-knowledge that makes Aldridge step by step with the mentality of sharing hardships with the players. It is difficult to start a business, and it is more difficult to fight. Is it not caring and tolerance that is needed among peers?


    But Stam did not have this self-knowledge. This autobiography pushed himself to the cusp of the storm and fell into the vortex of right and wrong. In an interview with "Football Net" earlier today, he vowed that there would be no problem between him and Ferguson. , Do not regret your behavior.


    But inside information from Manchester said that there was already an earthquake inside Manchester United!


    The board of directors is discussing whether to sell Stam!


    The incident involved two of England''s great giants, Millwall and Manchester United. The attention was extraordinary, and Arsenal were unwilling to be lonely. They also stepped in.


    Vieira announced that he had also been tempted privately by Manchester United. Wenger stated that he would consider bringing the matter to the FA!


    The house leaked in the middle of the rain, and Manchester United had not responded to Stam''s autobiography. The players themselves admitted that Manchester United could never overturn this fact.


    In response to Arsenal''s complaint, Manchester United responded eloquently.


    Club representative Ken Yang told reporters: "I did contact Arsenal and expressed our wishes, but that''s all. We are interested in Vieira, but the approach of contacting the Arsenal Club is in full compliance with the rules!"


    Arsenal may also be planning to make Manchester United more chaotic and better, and resorting to court is just a threat, and it has not been put into practice, but Dane said in an interview: "Sir Ferguson must know what the rules are, but he is just knowing Under the rules, I did something like that. I understand Millwall. Although Millwall won the league title in 1997, they are actually a weak team. The players were cornered by Manchester United. The team also needs a high transfer fee for development. Millwall can only compromise, but Sir Ferguson¡¯s behavior is really detrimental to Manchester United¡¯s usual image. This is contrary to the spirit of international football and should not happen in a company like Manchester United. For influential clubs, things just happen."


    Ferguson in Manchester exploded quickly, and he had no room for excuse.


    Stam, you have to go.


    And Stam, the hero who helped Manchester United win the Champions League, was like garbage, and was quickly swept out by Manchester United. Manchester United¡¯s new season was cast a shadow. Ferguson had to temporarily sign Bran, who was close to retired. Claire replaces Stam.


    ...


    Aldridge returned to the training base after the press conference, and players and coaches were waiting for him.


    "Boss, come here quickly!"


    De Rossi shouted at Aldridge with great interest. He was wearing the new first team jersey and was particularly excited today.


    Because today is the day when he officially entered the Millwall first team and took a family photo for the new season.


    Aldridge walked past with a smile. According to the previous management, he sat in the middle of the first row. This year, the staff is streamlined and it seems that there are fewer people, but fortunately the team is strong.


    Aldridge smiled at the camera, his eyes suddenly sharpened.


    In the new season, Millwall is going to hit a greater glory!


    Cheer yourself up: Aldridge, come on, Millwall, England national team, new challenges are coming!

 Chapter 657： Yeah, attack!

    The new season is on schedule, and the charity shield, which symbolizes the end of the English football offseason, is held at Cardiff Millennium Stadium for the first time.


    The Millwall team came to Cardiff, Wales, and Liverpool were also fighting hard in the new season.


    Last season, he won three championship trophies. Liverpool''s mental outlook of the three cup kings has been refreshed. The Red Army has been listed as a member of the Premier League title group in the new season. Since 1995, the Premier League title has been Millwall and Manchester United. In the game between Arsenal and Liverpool, the expectation is to break this old pattern. Together with Manchester United and Arsenal, they have challenged the league''s three consecutive championships and have formed a monopoly of Millwall.


    For the rise of Liverpool again, Aldridge gave a high evaluation in front of the media. He himself expressed: "I like the city of Liverpool. As a traditional English giant, Liverpool can attack the league champion, which will make the Premier League. The further improvement of the competition will not only benefit the development of the Premier League, but also bring positive stimulation to Millwall. You know that if your opponent is always the same, and you can always beat the opponent, this will undoubtedly make you The aggressiveness is hit, Millwall needs a new challenge, can Liverpool cause trouble for our defending, we will know when May arrives next year."


    Aldridge''s remarks were bluntly interpreted as Fleet Street.


    Maybe he is telling the truth, Millwall really needs more challengers, let them maintain a sense of crisis, enterprising, this will not let the team become mentally empty after continuous victory.


    But Aldridge apparently satirized Manchester United and Arsenal.


    I think these two opponents have been Millwall''s rivals in the past, but in the past three years, they have been continuously defeated by Millwall.


    Liverpool coach Hollier showed some limited ambitions, claiming that although Liverpool have the strength to impact the league champions in the new season, because the team still has the Champions League to participate, the two-line combat situation is grim and it is a realistic goal to enter the top three of the league. .


    Cardiff is a city in Wales. Many teams in Wales were established 70-80 years ago, but at that time, Wales did not have a mature league system, so many professional teams in Wales joined the English league system. It wasn''t until 1992 that the Premier League was established and the Wales league was also established. Some Welsh teams returned to the "native" league, but there are still some, such as Swansea, Cardiff City, who chose to stay in England regardless of league maturity or competition. Stronger in the professional league system.


    In the tenth year of the Premier League, there are still no Welsh teams on the Premier League, and even Swansea''s "strong team", which always has a strong performance in the Welsh Cup, can only survive in the fourth league of England. At the end of last season, it almost fell into the non-professional league, which is normal in the eyes of the English people. Wales can despise English sports, only football, football? How can this group of Welsh sheep with herds make a difference in English football!


    Like the home of the Welsh football team, the Millennium Stadium was originally built only for rugby games.


    The Premier League champion, the England FA Cup champion, and the division into the Millennium Stadium. In addition to the large number of fans of the Lions and the Reds, the local Welsh fans are also willing to pay to enter and enjoy an English giants showdown.


    The charity shield held here for the first time, the stadium has nearly 75,000 seats, and the atmosphere is very warm.


    "The game still has more than ten minutes to start. We saw Hall on the sidelines talking with Hollier. The two coaches have known each other for a long time. The outside world is rumored that they have good personal relations. It seems to be true."


    Aldrich knew that Hollier was in poor health, and took the opportunity to greet him. Hollier was filled with emotion. The job of the head coach of the football club was laborious and painstaking. A lot of work was only the foundation. The irritating command on the spot also made people Heart bears a huge load.


    Players from both sides entered the lineup, each holding their heads high, the old players calm and restrained as if with majesty, and the young players vigorously vigorously permeated Changhong.


    "Millwall, Liverpool, the players of the two teams have entered the field and are taking a group photo before the game. What is interesting is that today the two teams battle the Charity Shield. Three weeks later, the two teams will meet at the European Super Cup. Today''s game , Can be seen as a preview.


    Millwall started 433.


    Goalkeeper: Palyuka.


    Guards: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.


    Midfielders: Gattuso, Pirlo, Nedved.


    Forwards: Larson, Henry, Ronaldinho.


    This was Millwall''s starting game in the Champions League final. There was no change in personnel. That''s why in the new season, as long as Millwall participates in all competitions, they are listed as the biggest favorites! Compared to the previous summer when the main players left, Millwall spent a quiet summer this year, only a few bench players were taken away, considering that they are like Metzelder, Barzali, Alonso on the bench. , Klose and other players have improved significantly compared to last season''s strength, Millwall''s overall strength in the new season only rises!


    Liverpool start 442.


    Goalkeeper: Dudek.


    Defenders: Carragher, Hypia, Henjoz, Reese.


    Midfielders: Murphy, Gerrard, Harman, Smitchell.


    Forwards: Husky, Irving.


    Hollier sent Fowler to Leeds United in the summer, the team''s strength seems to have declined, but if Fowler stays in the team, Liverpool may be troubled in the new season because the conflict between Fowler and Hollier is already a passerby As everyone knows, if this problem is not solved, Liverpool cannot be stabilized.


    Can Liverpool be qualified to challenge the status of Millwall Premier League in the new season? Today''s game may not be too convincing, but we can also see some famous ones. In the end, Liverpool and Millwall are not Xiang Bozhong or the gap is obvious? "


    Before the game started, Aldridge was sitting on the coach''s seat. He looked calm, thinking about something that no one in the world would know.


    South Locker Room Curse!


    Uh, Millwall used the South Locker Room today. Since Wembley was closed early last season, the England game has not moved to the Millennium Stadium for many days. The South Locker room''s spell must have not been discovered.


    In the future, many teams will use the South Locker Room and lose the game, so it is called the curse.


    Aldridge is not serious, just remembered that there is such a thing, I want to see today''s game, is Liverpool really a BUFF with improved state strength, or Millwall has been weakened because of the use of the South locker room DEBUFF.


    At the beginning of the game, Liverpool launched a fast break, many people attacked, one high and one fast double forward, Smitchell ambushing behind them, the brave Gerrard, full-back Risse, all rushed up.


    I was caught off guard by Millwall and almost rushed away from the goal. Fortunately, Palyuka played normally and steadily resolved Irving''s shot.


    Aldridge was taken aback, thinking that there was really a curse in the dark.


    But after watching it for another 5 minutes, I came to understand it and made a false alarm!


    He glanced at Hollier in the coach seat next door.


    Liverpool, really took a few cup champions to restore the dominance of the Red Army in the past.


    Millwall''s players were just pressed for a while at the start of the game. The players and their monks were puzzled. When they entered the state, they saw clearly the posture of Liverpool today. Millwall players were in agreement.


    Pirlo looked at the backcourt, then at the frontcourt, and looked at the players Liverpool was pressing close to. Gerrard was inseparable from him.


    Afterwards, he exclaimed in his heart: Yeah, you actually want to play against us?


    Either Liverpool had a boost BUFF, or Millwall was facing DEBUFF, or Liverpool had to play against Millwall!


    Like many coaches, Hollier has a headache when he encounters Millwall. Researching how to deal with Millwall. Defensive counterattacks have proved to be not feasible. Liverpool itself does not use defensive counterattacks as the mainstream tactics, but defensive counterattacks are excellent. Valencia, who was abused by Millwall for two consecutive years, Bayern Munich also played anti-anti, finally ended up with a net swallowing three eggs.


    Since the anti-anti-reaction effect is minimal, then attack, fight against opportunities, adventure is an adventure, but Hollier believes that at least the probability of winning will be much higher than the anti-anti-counterfeit and gradually knocked down by Millwall.


    Liverpool are actually a small diamond-shaped midfielder. Harman is in the back. Gerrard and Murphy are in the midfield. Smitcher is in the midfield. They attack Lisse on the left and Murphy on the right.


    After being familiar with the distribution and movement of Liverpool players, Millwall began to exert force, and the field commander Pirlo took the initiative to move the position to the left, away from Gerrard and close to Murphy.


    Not only did Pirlo discover the Reds'' attack, other players also noticed.


    The offensive players are all excited.


    Great kind of Red Army!


    It''s really not easy. When we meet an opponent who dares to play against us, we usually have to catch an opponent with a slight balance of skills and tactics. We all have to spend flowers to celebrate. Today, when I met you, I won the prize.


    Counterattack means that the other party''s offensive investment must be large in order to play an effective offensive, and at the same time the backcourt space becomes larger.


    In the 12th minute, Smitchell took the ball in front of the penalty area and was ready to turn the ball straight to Husky and was intercepted by Gattuso. After Gattuso intercepted the ball, he immediately passed the ball to Pirlo.


    Murphy and Gerard sandwiched Pirlo, Pirlo''s ankle shook, the ball passed through the narrow gap between the two, and Zambrotta rushed past Murphy and got the ball all the way Forward.


    Zambrotta''s dribbling ball is like a wild horse galloping across the midfield area.


    No one!


    Gerald and Murphy were left behind, and Harman stared at Nedved not dare to go up, and stepped back, the entire midfield area was empty.


    Liverpool''s back line was overwhelmed, and Holier also had smoke in his head.


    Zambrotta, how can you take the ball to the middle?


    Are you not a wing player?


    In the middle of the space, Zambrotta drove to the middle of the road, not at all a full-back defender''s dribbling area.


    When Zambrotta brought the ball to the area 40 yards from the goal, Harman finally came to the top, but Zambrotta''s speed has reached its peak, flexibly changing the direction of the diagonal to break through Harman''s defense zone.


    Millwall 5 hit 4!


    Liverpool''s four guards are facing the enemy!


    Nedved inserted the left rib diagonally, Ronaldinho cut the middle from the left, Larson cut the middle from the right, and Henry pulled from the middle to the right.


    Reese and Larson took the middle of the restricted area.


    Carragher and Ronaldinho close the middle of the restricted area.


    Hepia sealed Nedved, Henjoz was originally with Henry, but Ronaldinho and Larson closed at the middle of the road at the same time, and he stood still, hoping that Reese could switch flexibly to stare at Henry.


    But between this electro-optical flint, the Liverpool line of defense has done a good job, only one person is missed, that is Henry.


    Zambrotta didn''t need to think about it. After the teammates on the front line had finished running, it was clear at a glance. His pass just happened to roll past Lisse towards the middle of the road. When Lisser stopped and turned again, Henry stopped the ball at the same time. Back inside, Lisse seemed to be lost, looking around looking for someone.


    Henry made a diagonal shot to the goal from close range and volleyed.


    The ball crossed the top of Dudek''s head and flew into the goal.

 Chapter 658： Unprecedented solidarity

    The Millennium Stadium erupted with unparalleled passion.


    Fans of the crazy lions are crying, and they are used to the "one wave take away" offensive of the team.


    At the same time, they saw the neutral Welsh fans also applauded and celebrated, which was inevitable.


    see it?


    This is the level of competition in the Premier League and the European Championship!


    Does it look good?


    Like it?


    Then cheer for the crazy lion!


    Welsh fans are indeed eye-opening.


    Watching the ball on the spot and kicking it in front of the TV set, the visual enjoyment is definitely different.


    In front of the TV, you can rarely see the panorama, you can''t see the overall offensive and defensive position of a team, nor the emotion of being immersed by the atmosphere of the entire stadium.


    When everyone around you has different expressions and is looking forward to how the players attack on the court, they can observe the overall change of the offensive side through their own perspective.


    Just now Millwall drove the ball from Zambrotta from the center and back court to the frontcourt. The running position of Millwall''s front line is the essence of the entire offense.


    In 5VS5, Millwall''s players were statically marked to death, creating chaos in the opponent''s mark after starting the running position at the same time, so that Henry had an empty space before the goal.


    Reese became a scapegoat and was read a joke.


    When he turned back to find someone just now, Henry happened to go inside from behind him again. He couldn''t see Henry. He also found that the passing ball was gone. He subconsciously looked around. The fans in the stands received their eyes and turned them into laughter. topic of.


    "The new season of the Premier League has not yet begun. People are already talking about the finale of the new season Henry, Irving, Larson, Ibrahimovic, Fanny, and these excellent shooters. The charity shield today, Henry In direct dialogue with Owen, Henry first used a goal to show the strength of the European Golden Boot for two consecutive seasons! Beautiful goals, clean goals, as if there were no goalkeeper in his eyes, clearly the angle is not too good , But he didn''t hesitate, and the action drove the ball into the goal coherently!"


    Holier held his forehead with a complex expression.


    Be angry, not guilty, after all, it is a friendly game.


    But with a dozen attacks, it seems easier to be scored by Millwall and die faster!


    It''s really early death and super birth.


    I remembered that Aldridge greeted him in physical condition more than ten minutes ago and asked him to pay attention to health.


    Good guy, Millwall immediately stimulated his heart.


    Playing against Millwall, this heart is really a little overwhelming trend.


    Seeing the goal, Aldridge just smiled and didn¡¯t get up to celebrate, it was a charity shield.


    Furthermore, from the short-term work plan, it is not necessarily a good thing to pack Liverpool today, so in the upcoming European Super Cup, Liverpool will definitely learn the lessons of today¡¯s game, so that the right medicine will be used, and the game will be difficult. Fight a lot.


    After thinking about it, Aldridge was relieved again.


    It has long been a public enemy in Europe, accustomed to being targeted by opponents, and various ways to carry out sniper attacks. This is also the aggressive spirit of the crazy lion at this stage.


    If all opponents give up resistance, or remain unchanged, then the Millwall players may soon decline, resulting from inner burnout.


    Thanks to Liverpool, they made the game very beautiful, the scene was full of passion, they attacked, attacked, and attacked bravely.


    In the 18th minute, Irving crossed the barrier alone, using his speed to dash Gattuso, surprisingly and suddenly passed the ball to Husky, which was unexpected by Millwall''s double defender. Southgate was in the country. The team knew Owen well, and felt that the boy would go black all the way, so he made a close to guard Materazzi against Owen, but he didn''t expect Owen to pass the ball.


    Southgate was out of position, Husky took the ball forward and luckily Schneider''s replacement interfered with the opponent''s shot. Husky''s original goal efficiency was not complimented. In the case of interference, he directly hit the ball fly.


    After Irving passed the ball, he lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground. When he got up and saw Husky, he easily put the ball on the stands. The expression was like eating a fly...


    After 2 minutes, Gerrard midfielder passed to Husky, Materazzi won the championship, Millwall was turned from the defense, Schneider led the ball all the way from the right, different from the previous goal Trajectory, Schneider went straight from the sidewalk.


    Gerald came over to assist in defense. Schneider and Pirlo went one-on-one. When Gerrard turned to Pirlo, Schneider strode the meteor forward.


    When he came to Lisse, Schneider''s rhythm paused a little. It seemed that Nedved, who came to meet the middle road, played two more times. Risce closed and Schneider speeded up again and directly took the ball to the bottom .


    In front of the bottom line, Schneider observed the situation in the middle, and the center made it possible for the center to estimate that the cross ball from the mother would be passed from under his feet.


    Was he out of bounds?


    Do not.


    However, he did not hang the ball into the penalty area.


    Instead, the ball was returned to the top of the penalty area.


    Ronaldinho was originally cut into the left rib of the penalty area, but after looking at the position of Devede diagonally inserted, he moved sneakily back.


    Nedved took Harman, Larson, and Henry all in the middle of the penalty area, waiting for Schneider to pass the ball.


    When the ball flew over, everyone looked along the ball trajectory, saw the unmarked Ronaldinho looking at the sky, slowly made a swinging leg shot, I have to say, Schneider¡¯s pass The ball is great, the landing point is good, and the speed is just right.


    Ronaldinho suddenly put a force on his right foot and hit a volley.


    Dudek burst into tears.


    When Lao Tzu played for Feyenoord in the Netherlands, his most painful memory was playing against Millwall twice in the European War.


    This summer, I was happy to bring my luggage to Liverpool and join the giant Liverpool of the "Little Triple Crown" last season.


    Fuck!


    Why did Millwall meet the official debut?


    And it is stronger than what is remembered, more Nima makes people have the urge to kill their family Millwall!


    boom!


    Ronaldinho''s volley shot was extremely hard. The ball not only flew towards Liverpool''s goal like a shell, but also had an obvious parabolic trajectory.


    From top to bottom, it is like a little rainbow.


    When the ball flew into the penalty area, Larson quickly bowed his head and bent down, feeling a cold wind on the top of his head, making him sweat.


    If he didn''t bow his head, he must have been hit by this ball in his face!


    Dudek flew out in situ, he knew it was useless!


    Move two steps before saving?


    The ball has already entered the goal.


    Can''t save it in place!


    The ball is drilled into the net against the inside of the right post of the goal.


    "Wow, Ronaldinho scored a wonderful long shot, the angle is tricky, the speed is fast, the most important thing is that he didn''t stop the ball, directly hit the volley, Schneider passed the ball beautifully, Luo Nardinho scored even better! In 20 minutes, Millwall led Liverpool 2-0!"


    Ronaldinho laughed and ran towards Schneider, and when he came to him, he started to dance, and Schneider also twisted his body, making the Welsh fans in the stands silly!


    Can football be played like this?


    Can football play such a wonderful feeling?


    Football can make a neutral audience intoxicated, and there is no lack of happiness in passion?


    The fans laughed and clapped while discussing, enduring.


    The live camera captured Aldridge''s finger on the coach''s seat, marking the trajectory of the ball flying just now, and discussing with Klinsmann Ronaldinho''s goal. It was beautiful and picturesque.


    "Schneider has occupied the main position of Millwall for seven years. As long as he is healthy, the 28-year-old Schneider will definitely be the absolute main force of Millwall for at least 3 years. Although the No. 7 player is Playing as a full-back, but his contribution to the team¡¯s offense on the wing cannot be ignored. Although he is not as bright as Beckham on the right, he always surprises the team whenever Millwall needs him. , Maybe because there are so many skilled players in Millwall, we think that Schneider is a bit ordinary, but if we carefully observe his technical display in the offense, we must praise his technical ability and delicate footwork. , The reasonable handling of the ball, and the success rate of passing the ball stable, it is no exaggeration to say that Schneider is the first right guard in the Premier League!"


    Players are good or not.


    Even though Schneider and Beckham and Giggs can''t compare the assist data of these wing players, but in the past multiple seasons, Schneider has the highest assist number among defensive players, and he is the veteran of the team. , For many years of loyalty, has always been the most favorite player in the fan ranking.


    Schneider himself is satisfied with everything in Millwall and has a strong sense of maintaining the team.


    Stam¡¯s autobiography didn¡¯t rate Aldridge very much, and he bluntly said that the players achieved Aldridge. In response, Aldridge admitted frankly, he said honestly to the outside world: "Yes, credit is all players our!"


    The players stood up to defend Aldridge, and Schneider responded in an interview: "Stam was once our most trusted partner, but I can''t agree with some of his views. The fact is that Millwall is on board After the Premier League, they won 4 league titles, 1 European Cup Winners¡¯ Cup, and 3 Champions League titles. Who have played for Millwall and who left Millwall, who has more honor than us? If there is, I shut up. If not, no one can question the boss¡¯s ability. He doesn¡¯t need to prove to whom. I am lucky to play for him and play for Millwall. My dream is now in Millwall Kick to retirement and help the team get as much honor as possible."


    Aldridge was actually grateful to Stam. His autobiography not only weakened Manchester United''s strength, but also made Millwall unprecedentedly united, and some impetuous emotions suppressed.


    Two goals were lost in 20 minutes. Liverpool, regardless of players on the court or fans in the stands, were in a terrible mood and an ominous hunch came to mind.


    The scene that was once washed by blood seems to repeat itself today!

 Chapter 659： just started

    Liverpool fell behind by two goals, and the players on the field looked like irritated beasts and launched a crazy counterattack.


    In the 29th minute of the game, Liverpool gave up the established offensive tactics. Smitcher''s tactical role in this game was barely played out, and he was completely frozen by Gattuso.


    So Liverpool simply played a long pass.


    Murphy''s midfield long pass, Husky retreated back to the goal on the front line, after the jump, the ball was directly inserted into the back of the player.


    Irving and Smitchell were completely stared to death. Nedved was watching Murphy forward, but Murphy directly made a long pass.


    Pirlo failed to stare at the opponent''s only remaining offensive point: Gerrard!


    Gerrard received a header from Husky and stopped the ball forward with his chest. At the same time, he broke through Pirlo''s defense and shot a long shot in the penalty area.


    Palyuka is powerless against the ball. Gerrard plays a diagonal trajectory of the goal. Mo said that Palyuka can save this kind of goalkeeper who almost shoots from the dead end. There are few in the world.


    "Liverpool pulled one back and Gerrard scored!"


    Liverpool did not celebrate, Gerrard seemed to greet his teammates with a frown, and quickly kicked off.


    Last season was Gerald''s seat in Liverpool''s main season, outstanding performance, Liverpool''s "small triple crown", he contributed greatly.


    "Aldrich, don''t you think that Pirlo''s defensive problem is becoming more and more obvious?"


    Klinsmann frowned after the ball was dropped.


    To be honest, the scene is not very good, Pirlo almost did not form a frontal defense against Gerrard, and did not form an effective interference when the opponent launched a long shot.


    Aldridge said lightly: "I think Nedved is lazy."


    Klinsmann frowned.


    Even though they have worked with each other for many years, there are still differences in the entry points for observing the situation on the field.


    Therefore, some people are head coaches, and some people can only be assistant coaches.


    It''s not that Aldridge insisted on refuting Klinsmann, but he thought so.


    Pirlo''s position on the court is in the lower back area, and then move forward freely.


    But his role definition is to delay organization, not defensive midfielder.


    His defensive tasks are usually one of the position pieces that cut opponent''s offensive formations in positional battles and assist teammates.


    Aldridge never thought of relying on Pirlo''s positive defensive ability.


    God is fair, and gave Pirlo the talent to organize. Would it also make him a ball-robbing machine or an interception barrier?


    Dirty work is done by Gattuso, and Nedved is also responsible for such work after the return. Pirlo is assisted, and the investment is not even as far away as Nedved from the penalty area. Each player has his own Characteristics, Nedved''s physical fitness, and large-scale running are one of the advantages, and naturally we must make full use of it.


    Liverpool''s attack today is actually compressed in the middle.


    Hollier doesn''t want to abandon the double forwards, but also wants to intensively block the Millwall pass, then sacrifice the wing.


    Reese can''t get up, Murphy''s edge effect is general, small diamond midfielder, plus double forwards, this one-stop train is very intuitive.


    Maybe Nedved was really lazy and followed Murphy, but did not have the first time to compress the backcourt area. After all, the opponent''s offensive players were all concentrated in the middle.


    Aldridge is not worried, there are losses and gains, Liverpool play like this, Millwall is not helpless, and not every opponent long pass can find Husky, nor every Husky can get the ball It happens to be the most suitable teammate, and the teammate can shoot a tricky long shot like Gerrard.


    On the contrary, when Liverpool attacked in this way, the weakness was clear at a glance.


    Liverpool just pulled back a goal, morale soared, want to go to the next city.


    As a result, after 4 minutes, Zambrotta hit the frontcourt from the side, and passed the ball in front of Carragher to Ronaldinho. The latter continuously dribbling horizontally in front of the penalty area and found a free time while the Liverpool defense moved. Passing the pass, Larsson cuts the speed after catching the ball in the small penalty area, rushing across from Dudek, passing the goalkeeper, and then pushing the empty goal to extend the lead to two goals.


    "Liverpool just recovered a goal, but the back defense was hit hard again! 3:1, this game is so beautiful, the first half did not finish, there are already four goals!"


    The fans are blessed, but the Liverpool players are mixed.


    What''s wrong with this?


    If one enters one after another, the other party can enter one quickly without effort.


    Aldridge was not surprised at the arrival of the third goal. He raised an eyebrow at Klinsmann.


    Even if Pirlo does not touch the ball, his threat will attract Liverpool''s division into defense.


    Generally speaking, the attack points of the top strong teams will be evenly distributed. If you want to use the width of the field, the side attack is essential. Like Manchester United, the two wings fly together. Arsenal¡¯s side counterattack, etc., all use the width of the field to tear A strategy to open the opponent''s defense line, so that the opponent''s defensive formation interval will virtually expand.


    Because of the existence of the delayed organization Pirlo, Millwall cannot threaten the offensive midfield. Therefore, many teams have to play five midfielders in the face of Millwall. The traditional two full-backs, midfielders, Double back waists not only compress the space, but also harass Pirlo''s organization.


    This defense comes at the expense of offense, leaving only one forward.


    Liverpool are unwilling to sacrifice the offensive on the front line, but also want to limit Pirlo, they are doing well, Pirlo rarely takes the ball organization today.


    But Millwall is not a team that will not play without leaving Pirlo''s organization, otherwise, how can he dominate?


    Simple and direct side attack, the full-backs rush forward, the threat is more intuitive and effective.


    Hollier saw the team''s third goal drop and found that he seemed to have made a superficial mistake.


    He thought about how to limit Millwall''s countermeasures to create a source. That was the foundation of Millwall''s offensive change, Commander Pirlo!


    However, Millwall''s way of cracking hardly uses Aldridge to think.


    Liverpool just prevented Millwall from playing a complex and variable offensive fit.


    It exposes the empty space and allows Millwall to defeat Liverpool in the simplest and most brutal way.


    Liverpool''s weak side defense, Millwall used two side impacts to tear Liverpool''s line of defense, Zambrotta and Schneider repeated the impact, the threat is obvious to all.


    Holier stood up and walked to the sidelines, having to admit his fate.


    Without sacrificing offense to strengthen the defense, playing Millwall is to death, thinking about it can limit Millwall a bit, but can not limit all offensive points at all.


    Charity shield, it is not possible to make substitutions in advance, so as not to hit the players to cause internal contradictions, Hollier just let Husky, Smitchell retreat at the same time, strengthen the midfield defense, Gerrard and Murphy can help more defense Sidewalk.


    Before Liverpool''s adjustment changes were not completed, Millwall scored another goal before the end of the first half!


    Nedved took the ball into the penalty area and was caught between Harman and Hepia. He fell to the ground after the referee. The referee fined Harman to trip Nedved from behind and gave Millwall a penalty.


    Larsson made a hit and Millwall locked in the first half.


    4:1!


    At the end of the halftime, the Welsh fans in the stands took the initiative to applaud the two teams. Not to mention, there were many goals, and it was worth buying tickets to see the ball.


    The Charity Shield had a lot of substitutions. Aldridge saw the change in Liverpool in the last few minutes of the first half. After thinking about it, he decided to seduce the Red Army.


    The two sides returned to the court in the second half.


    "Millwall had a huge 4:1 lead in the first half. Hall believed that the winning ticket was in hand and decided that Millwall would replace the five main players at halftime. I don''t know if Liverpool saw Millwall make such a large substitution. What would you think?"


    Larson, Henry, Ronaldinho, Nedved, Pirlo.


    All five of them came to rest.


    Alonso, Kaka, Villa, Klose, and Ramor came on stage.


    Hollier saw the substitution of Millwall, and his blood suddenly surged.


    Aldrich, don''t be kind!


    He had given Liverpool targeted counter-attacks at halftime.


    As a result, this deployment was clearly disrupted by the substitution of Millwall.


    Owen, Gerrard, Smitchell, Husky, and so on, faced the other side and withdrew half of the team''s main force, and then withdrew to fight back?


    Will they be happy?


    The trident lost to the famous Europe, the **** of war Nedved, etc., this is actually nothing shameful, but if you face young players like Kaka, Villa, Alonso, they can¡¯t show a little momentum. It is estimated that back to Liverpool will be scolded by Red Army fans.


    The Millwall formation is basically the same, and it is still a double midfielder, but the defensive hardness of this double midfielder is much stronger than Pirlo + Gattuso. Although Alonso is not as talented as Pirlo, his defense is 60%. Strength has surpassed Pirlo.


    Aldridge snickered in the coach seat, and Liverpool couldn''t hold back in the second half, occupying the offensive initiative, and the soldiers pressed.


    Millwall''s style of play has actually changed, lacking the core of the organization, is to fight back.


    The counterattack tactics are simple, at least more direct than organizing the team. Pass when you have time, pass when your teammates are in a better position, and make breakthroughs when you are sure. Anyway, counterattack is more important than fighting in positions.


    "The young man that Milwall recruited in the summer has a special feature. He got the ball from the midfield and backcourt and turned directly to break through Murphy''s defense. Murphy obviously has a bit of support and directly went to intercept. He was called by this name. Kaka''s player easily changed direction, Kaka took the ball and strode the meteor forward, and distributed the ball to Lamore in front of Harman. Then he continued to insert the ball forward. Lamore passed the ball back to him. Card shot! It''s a pity that Hepia blocked her leg from close range."


    This kind of counterattack environment is best for Kaka to play. Today, he staged his first show, so that the fans of the Lions remember this young man with a unique style of playing, and a new recruit who came to the team in the summer. Feeling satisfied, the fans firmly believe that: in time, Aldridge will be able to be tuned into a first-class star.


    The entire second half was spent in the rhythm of Liverpool''s mad attack and Millwall''s counterattack.


    In the second half Irving scored a goal, Millwall was contributed by Klose and Villa respectively, and the total score of 6:2 won this charity shield.


    Although Kaka didn''t score in his first show, he had an assist and his start at Millwall was amazing. Especially, this was the first official game of his career.


    After the game, Aldridge shook hands with Hollier, then walked into the court to praise Kaka. For the 45-minute performance of Kaka, let alone mention, Kaka¡¯s self-confidence to control the ball is commendable, there are many The young players who just stepped onto the court and did not dare to take the ball and did not dare to move, belonged to the kind who did not seek merit but did nothing, and Kaka dared to perform, and he dared to take the ball and drive directly into the situation when he saw a large area. Not important for the time being. This courage and self-confidence are very important for the future development of his career.


    Kaka was praised with a shy smile.


    "Go, celebrate with your teammates, take a few pictures, this is your first championship, er, forget it, go celebrate."


    Aldrich originally wanted to say: Ronaldinho''s career debut was the FA Cup final. That was Ronaldinho''s first championship. Compared with Charity Shield, Charity Shield is obviously not worth mentioning, so I didn''t say it.


    Looking at Kaka walking to celebrate with his teammates, Ronaldinho "sneak attacked", Aldridge smiled.


    Boy, your story has just begun today.

 Chapter 660： Premier League New Army

    The 2001-2002 season Premier League battle curtain opened, Fleet Street joked that this season is the London small league!


    London is very lively this season, of the 20 Premier League teams, the London team occupies seven places.


    Millwall.


    Arsenal.


    Tottenham.


    Chelsea.


    Charlton.


    West Ham United.


    Fulham.


    West Ham United and Fulham were the Premier League promotion team last season, and both teams are inextricably linked to Aldridge or Millwall.


    It is a deadly enemy with West Ham United.


    Fulham''s current coach is also an old friend of Aldridge, especially with Henry in the Millwall formation.


    Jean Tijana.


    Before Abu, who is a combination of angel and devil, arrived in London, there were actually foreign bosses who were practicing the same dream as Abu.


    Egyptian giant Jafayez spent 30 million pounds in 1997 to buy Fulham, who was still in the British second, and dreamed of building Fulham into a Manchester United in the south, or the second Millwall in London. Every year''s investment is the highest in Fulham''s competitive environment, but the team didn''t get it until it hired Tigana last year. After 33 years, it returned to the English Premier League.


    Tigana has the financial support of Fayez, and his successful experience in coaching in France. In addition to his admiration for technical flow, Fleet Street hailed him as the second Wenger, and is expected to lead Fulham to make contributions in London and even the football world. .


    Tigana himself is also ambitious. In an interview before the start of the season, he expressed his dream to lead Fulham to glory, and then he retired to enjoy life.


    In addition to Tigana¡¯s success in Monaco, another factor is that he has become the focus of the media. That is, after Gullit, Tigana is the second black coach in the Premier League era. As the saying goes, things are rare and expensive, and social Under the influence of values, the rareness of black coaches in the Premier League has made Tigana have a very high degree of attention.


    Premier League opener.


    The defending champion sat at the Lion King Stadium and ushered in the London Derby.


    Crazy Lion vs Farmer.


    After the Champions League semi-finals in the 97/98 season, Aldridge and Tigana played against each other again, but the difference in the strength of the team led by the two has already made a difference.


    Millwall has no injustice with Fulham. Fulham¡¯s enemy is Chelsea. He does not violate the river with the East London team. Today¡¯s game, the off-site fans¡¯ hostility is not strong, and they enter the stadium step by step. Watching the ball, the fans of the crazy lions now also have a sense of superiority, playing Fulham and Derby can be ignored, not at all in a grade.


    Aldrich complimented Tigana before the game, and then waited for Tigana to arrive early at the Lion King Stadium. He showed his mastery and was quite a match.


    For Tigana, it seemed like a scene known to others in his hometown. After walking out of the player''s tunnel, he saw Audridge standing on the side of the court and greeted him with a smile.


    When Tigana took Aldridge''s hand, he looked around the interior scene of the majestic Lion King Stadium. Deafening cheers made him speak close to Aldridge''s ear.


    "The atmosphere in Millwall is now warmer than when we played at Wembley, Aldridge, a great achievement."


    Tigana sighed heartily.


    The last time I challenged Millwall was at Wembley. Time flies. Four years later, Millwall has a magnificent new stadium and the atmosphere of the hot stands is unprecedented.


    This is Audric¡¯s credit. Tigana admires it. Although his back-end boss Fayez is rich, he can¡¯t afford to bring a new stadium to Fulham. Such investment is really amazing, even if it is huge. Rich can''t afford it either.


    Ordinary people with a net worth of 5 million yuan will inevitably not buy a Ferrari sports car, and a huge net worth of 5 billion US dollars, they are also hard at heart to build a new stadium that costs more than 500 million yuan.


    Aldrich and Tigana made an appointment to go to the office and enjoy the old after the game, the other came to London a year ago, but has not contacted Aldridge, even if Fulham had a purchase request last year, want to buy from Millwall Walking a few youth teams is not a particularly good young seedling, Tigana did not call Aldridge to ask for accommodation, and Millwall did business and agreed to Fulham''s offer. Unfortunately, the youth players have a good vision. Look down on Fulham in the League One.


    After greeting, Aldridge returned to his seat and sat down.


    "The new season Premier League opener is about to start, defending champion Millwall meets the new Premier League Fulham. This is a London derby without gunpowder. In the past seven years, Millwall has not played against Fulham, but Mill Wall coach Aldridge Hall has played against Fulham coach. It was during the season when Hall really became the top coach in European football. Millwall was eliminated in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals. Monaco, what¡¯s interesting is that the number one star in the Monaco team at that time is now Millwall¡¯s first killer, Thierry Henry."


    "Recently, there are many topics surrounding Tigana. The outside world generally believes that he may become the second Wenger on the Premier League. He has also coached Monaco, and he also advocates European-style football philosophy. He is also good at promoting and inspiring young players, and he is also a French. , Haha, Tigana brought Saha from France last season, this young player scored 27 goals in 43 games in the Premier League, it was a big explosion, and in the new season, Tigana brought from France Marblank, he will continue to use his skills to train young people, just like he is training Monaco Henry, Bartez, Giuly, Sagnol, Risser and so on, who are now playing in the top arena."


    "Andy, although Tigana is capable, I think Fulham is definitely not Millwall''s opponent today."


    "I think that if we want to discuss such a topic, it is too unfair to Tigana and Fulham. Fulham did not return to the top stage after 33 years. The Premier League debut met the defending champion and made the whole Millwall, who is frightened by fear in Europe."


    "Isn''t Millwall''s Premier League Premiere the first time, wasn''t it also a challenge to the unstoppable Red Devils Manchester United? The final result? I still remember it now, they were tied by Manchester United at the last moment at Old Trafford, Manchester United tied them ."


    "Well, you say that I have higher expectations for the game. If Fulham can cause trouble to Millwall today, I think the outside world will have to re-evaluate Fulham."


    In the long-awaited, the new season of the Premier League finally whistled!


    Millwall took the lead and the ball returned to Pirlo''s feet. Pirlo controlled the rhythm and first looked at the opponent''s posture.


    Seeing the opponent''s number one striker, last season''s Saha in the Bundesliga, Pirlo threw the ball to Gattuso, and Saha threw Gattuso again, the latter passed the ball back to Pear Lowe.


    Fulham attacked away, very cautious at the beginning, only Saha harassed back and forth in front, and everyone else stood honestly in the second half.


    Pirlo''s heart was clear when he saw the other''s position.


    Although Fulham''s static position is very reasonable, excluding Saha who harassed the goalkeeper and the frontcourt, the other nine players seem to divide the backcourt area into a reasonable position, but this seemingly reasonable position is actually very dangerous.


    Experience, after all, the opponent came from the Premier League to the Premier League. Although some of them are veterans of the Premier League eliminated, Fulham always feels trembling in the heart.


    Pirlo didn''t need much complicated organization to attack, he gave the ball to Ronaldinho.


    Ronaldinho took the ball from the sideline after crossing the centerline and then took the ball diagonally towards the middle.


    Fulham''s original position was very reasonable, and Ronaldinho was crushed one by one during the impact of Ronaldinho.


    One, two, three, Ronaldinho seems to be running the obstacles with the ball, and the Fulham players who chase and block him one by one declare failure.


    Fulham¡¯s mistake is not directly compressing the most dangerous space, blocking Millwall layer by layer, but there is a player like Ronaldinho who only gives him a certain space, one by one breakthrough, Fulham player It is more like fighting in their own territory, and then defeated by Ronaldinho.


    "Wow, Ronaldinho passed by consecutively, he completely disrupted Fulham''s line of defense! God, before the penalty area, five people from Fulham rushed to Ronaldinho !"


    Ronaldinho knew that he couldn''t rush down anymore. The two in front had to close the door, and the two left and right came to wrap up. There was a chase behind him.


    Even if the ball can pass, he will certainly be knocked down by the opponent, and will definitely not be in the penalty area.


    Ronaldinho stepped on the ball and used a pair of scissors feet to knock the ball out of the seam.


    Henry, unmarked, took two steps forward slowly after catching the ball in the penalty area, and then when the goalkeeper moved a step, his arch shot at the far corner of the far post and easily broke the goal.


    "Henry scored this goal too easily. Ronaldinho finished 99% of the work. Henry only needed to shoot as easily as he did in practice. Fulham declared that the city gate was lost in 29 seconds. We The expectations before the game are being shattered, and Fulham may now only really understand the gap between them and the strongest team in Europe."


    Henry scored and pointed back to Ronaldinho after scoring a goal. He did not celebrate. Most of the credit was Ronaldinho. He did not celebrate because Fulham''s coach was Tigana.


    Without Tigana promoting him to reuse him in Monaco, and performing well in that critical season, he was difficult to board the last train of the French national team and eventually became the world champion.


    Tigana saw Henry broke the door as soon as he opened. Indeed, as the commentator said, in less than a minute, he really felt the gap between Fulham and Millwall.


    Ronaldinho, can''t help it!


    Especially, one player after another went up to intercept, just like the circus was played by Ronaldinho one by one.


    Tigana is still a little proud and confident. He doesn¡¯t want Fulham to ugly swing the bus against Millwall like other mid- and lower-level Premier League teams, and use human walls to block the goal, but the reality is that he does not swing the bus , Millwall attacked the four in the frontcourt, one-on-one. With enough space, who can be one-on-one in Fulham? And players like Ronaldinho, Mo said one-on-one, even if the two are defending, they must stick to him, don¡¯t give him space to start, play space, once he has room to start bursting, that scene is just like it was just now. , A small compass belt, a sudden change of direction, followed by a group of Fulham players, like a small train flying on the court.


    Tigana shook his head, walked to the sidelines and made adjustments. The bus must swing, not swing, maybe it will be blood washed today. Millwall has so many games every season that kills his opponents Not alive...

 Chapter 661： Knock on turtle shell

    Fulham saw the reality and put the bus, but this team is only the top of the Premier League in terms of strength, experience, temperament and other aspects. The level of the Premier League finals. Millwall''s opener in the new season only took 65. The battle was resolved in minutes.


    In the first minute, Henry opened the record for the first time.


    In the thirteenth minute, Pirlo made a long-range shot to the next city.


    In the thirty-ninth minute, Henry scored twice.


    In the 58th minute, Larson icing on the cake and scored the fourth goal.


    In the 65th minute, Aldridge made a substitution and Larsson and Southgate took a break.


    Millwall scored another goal in the 81st minute and Ronaldinho scored a free kick.


    5:0!


    With Fulham''s London Derby, Millwall made a good start.


    After the game, Fleet Street joked: Tigana did become the second Wenger, but he is not Wenger, Wenger lost 4 when facing Millwall for the first time, he lost 5.


    For the new Premier League London team in the new season, Aldridge thinks it is a good thing, reducing the team''s journey, 38 league rounds, 12 games are played in London, helping the team maintain energy.


    Just sent away the farmer Fulham, ushered in the Blues Chelsea.


    There are many teams in London, and there are many London derbys.


    Although a hostile enemy like Chelsea, Millwall''s hostility is not halved, but its attitude is enough to despise his opponent.


    This season, Ranieri promoted the youth of the team and sent away a group of veterans, mainly to promote young people. It is worth mentioning that Bosnic was sent to Stamford Bridge by Ferguson for free in the middle of last season. The bridge is still scandalous, and in the new season, his position in the Blues has been replaced by Kudicini.


    Youth has the benefits of youth, full of vigor and vigour, which are all expected, but youth also has a price, that is instability.


    In particular, even if some young people have strength, they do not have a history of cooperation. This requires running-in. The coach needs to blend in. Time and record must pay such a price.


    Millwall built a team with young people at that time, and the starting stage was one level lower than the top field. Starting from the Premier League, if starting from the Premier League, the first season will certainly not be able to produce decent results. It is good to be able to relegate.


    With a one-year break-in period, coupled with Aldridge¡¯s selection of players who value professional qualities, this has the foundation of Millwall¡¯s long-term development. Later, when young people continue to enter the first team from the youth echelon, it is also the same as Chelsea. There is an essential difference in directly creating a young lineup. Millwall¡¯s young players have been foreshadowed by Millwall¡¯s football philosophy. They have time to digest it. They also start from the bench and grow in the support of their predecessors, unlike Chelsea. Like the introduction of Gala, he directly came to the strange environment and quickly picked up the girders.


    One is the master of the king, and the other is the reconstruction of the young and cutting-edge. Together with Millwall at home, the overwhelming psychological advantage of the past record. This one-by-one London derby, deadly rivals pinch, no one expected. After the fierce battle, Chelsea defeated the Lion King Stadium again with a score of 0:2 after resisting tenaciously for 90 minutes.


    In the third round, Millwall played against Premier League powerhouse Leeds again.


    Leeds United continued to invest heavily in the summer. The arrival of Fowler and Robbie Keane cost the club more than 20 million pounds. The goal of the new season is still based on the qualification of the Champions League. This season, there is no doubt that it will be Leeds. In a season in which Liansheng survived, if Liz could not be qualified for the Champions League, Leeds United¡¯s high debts would be unable to repay. At the beginning, they would lend huge sums of money to their banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions, and they will definitely come to the home to collect debts. Team, the earnings report is estimated to be very ugly.


    Leeds United''s start to the new season is very beautiful, the first to cut the Saints at home, the away rifle shooter, two consecutive victories and Millwall points are the same, and in the third round, Leeds United as the Lion King Stadium, O''Reilly''s team, and To stand the test of hell.


    Aldrich said before the game that the team will not have emotions other than competition because of the grudges of last season. The game is the game.


    Everyone believed.


    Millwall abused Leeds United last season, and Leeds United was fined a lot. Bowyer may also be deserted because he could not play for a long time. Millwall can''t make a vengeance without committing a small belly.


    Moreover, vengeance, will Millwall get the turn?


    It should be Leeds who cursed Millwall ancestors every day!


    O''Reilly wanted to scold her.


    He attacked the FA before the game, thinking that the FA was partial to Millwall.


    The third round of the league is actually ahead of the seventeenth round of the league.


    Millwall is going to Monaco for the European Super Cup this weekend, and he will participate in the World Club Cup at the end of the year. Millwall applied to adjust the schedule at the beginning of the season. Before the Champions League did not start, first adjust a game in the second half of the first half. By the end of August, Millwall would be the same as other teams in the round. After finishing this game, go to the Super Cup. The next day is FIFA game day, which will allow Millwall players to rest fully in the summer. Afterwards, you will not be overly relaxed, and at the end of the year you will be overtired due to make-up.


    Because of this, Millwall, who was supposed to go away in the third round, played at home.


    O''Leary feels that Leeds United has been persecuted by the FA!


    Beheading the saints, gunners, Leeds United is like a rainbow, this is a momentum of the team''s morale, honestly to play the third round against Sunderland, before the arrival of FIFA game day, Leeds United is likely Start a new season with a three-game winning streak!


    Milwaukee is desperate to go to the European Super Cup, and to compete in the World Club at the end of the year, turn off Leeds United Birds, adjust the schedule, and choose Leeds United!


    The FA of the grass mud horse.


    O''Reilly''s criticism brought him a fine of 5,000 pounds. The FA also issued a warning that he would be suspended if he spoke again.


    At the Lion King Stadium, before the game started, people knew that Aldridge''s remarks before the game were absolutely outrageous.


    He sat quietly on the coach''s seat waiting for the game to begin, even without a glance at Aureli.


    If the game is a game, if there is no emotion other than competition, according to Aldridge''s past style, he will definitely say hello to his opponent. It is not important whether the relationship is iron or not. At home, it is a kind of hospitality.


    How could Millwall have no emotions? !


    Only three months have passed since the racism storm.


    From the beginning of the game, the Lion King Stadium echoed with songs that mocked Leeds United. Fans used their poles to strike Leeds United. When their players entered the field, the fans in the nearby stands reached out to point out their screaming warnings. The **** is directly humiliated.


    The pressure of Leeds United players to come to this hell-like stadium is enormous.


    Millwall''s whole team was furious and never regarded the game with Leeds United as an ordinary game.


    O''Reilly sat on the coach seat with harsh boos and scolding in the stands behind him. His face was gloomy. Whether the momentum of Leeds United''s new season can be maintained is likely to depend on the outcome of the game.


    In the event of another fiasco, this is a huge blow to the confidence of the players.


    At the start of the game, Leeds united a turtle array, and Millwall tried to smash the turtle shell.


    Twenty minutes passed.


    The score is still 0:0.


    "Andy, Millwall''s play style is really strange today. Are they in a bad state? Shouldn''t it be? The first two games were a 5:0, a 2:0, the team status is okay, why today almost Seeing no personal breakthrough from their players, they have been working tirelessly on long shots."


    "Maybe you want to use long shots to create chaos, I think, this is Hall''s request."


    Millwall had 8 shots in the first 20 minutes, all from long range!


    Ronaldinho, Nedved, Pirlo, Zambrotta, Schneider, as long as these five players hit the goal range in the frontcourt, they hit a long shot.


    After 8 shots, 5 feet were blocked by Leeds United players.


    And every time the ball hits the body of the Leeds United player, there is a huge cheer from the stands of the Lion King Stadium, as if it were not a ball, but a human fist hit the face of the Leeds United player.


    The Leeds United players suffocated, were hit by the ball, and were ridiculed by the fans, which gradually became unbearable.


    In the 29th minute, Pirlo made a long-range shot again. Dakote stretched his foot to block, Pirlo spiked the ball, dexterously broke through the opponent, and then put a ball into the right rib of the penalty area. In the first game of the game, the forward straight ball, and this is the first foot, torn the defense of Leeds United.


    Larson quickly knocked across the middle after receiving the ball, Henry followed the toe and shot the ball into the goal.


    "It turns out that this is the purpose of Hall, numb the opponent with a long shot, and then suddenly switch the offensive style. Leeds United defense players did not withstand this test in the first thirty minutes, and they could not keep up with the rhythm. The defense line was exploded, Mill. Wall''s play is very old-fashioned."


    Aldridge was not surprised at the team''s success in breaking through the wasteland.


    It is often said that breaking intensive defense is a worldwide problem. This is a fact. Millwall was once blocked by intensive defense. The failure to defend the league in 1998 was also related to their frequent encounters with intensive defense, but these years have come all the way. They accumulated experience bit by bit and gradually practiced the skill of intensive defense. Although they may not be successful in the field, the win rate is still very high.


    Breaking intensive defense is nothing more than that three axes.


    Long shot, breakthrough, positioning ball.


    Positioning ball is a common item in Millwall''s training system. The practice will be practiced, but it is not important to reach the peak on the positioning ball. After all, in the game, in addition to corner kicks, other positioning **** have a premise that the opponent fouls. If you deliberately emphasize the use of positioning balls, you must create opponent fouls. Aldridge has never asked any disciple to make positioning **** in the past. If you let players have the initiative to "make" positioning balls, they will probably let players walk in. "Misleading", that is, cheating fouls, opponents do not deliberately foul, but they want to position the ball opportunity, then fall, pretend to be injured, make a roll, scream twice, this may affect the referee''s judgment, thus giving Give a favorable penalty.


    That¡¯s not Millwall¡¯s football philosophy. Maybe some people think it¡¯s understandable, but Aldridge doesn¡¯t agree with him. He appreciates Nedved¡¯s self-fall and stands up to explain to the referee that the opponent didn¡¯t foul. Is it noble? ? No, it''s just sincerity to maintain the fairness of the game. If you want to undermine the fairness of the game, then one day when others also undermine the fairness, you will have no confidence to complain to protest, otherwise it is shameless.


    Millwall emphasized breakthroughs and long-range shooting. These two levels are also divided into layers. The initial stage is the personal explosion of the star. Once the bottom is over, the long-range shooting directly breaks.


    Millwall has now reached a higher level, Ronaldinho''s breakthrough can attract a large number of defensive players, create opportunities for teammates, break the opponent''s dense defense system, long-range shooting, long-range shooting does not matter, it can play an opponent The effect of paralysis, and then suddenly change the rhythm, beating the opponent by surprise.


    In the eighth year of Aldridge¡¯s coaching, he led the team that could compete for the strongest gold team in history, because they were not only proficient in all kinds of martial arts, but also able to flexibly switch to use, from strategy The tactics are highly targeted against different opponents.

 Chapter 662： Dominate the arena

    O''Reilly clenched his fists tightly, his nails were almost torn, and he watched the situation on the court with a splitting eye. The game had come to the second half, with a score of 2:0 and Millwall leading.


    The disastrous defeat of the final stage last season, finally had the "healing period" of summer, Leeds United regrouped and started two consecutive victories, as well as the glorious record of defeating Arsenal at Highbury, the result today met Millwall, immediately Was beaten back to original form.


    Long shots were beaten to tears and tears, and breaking through the life they lived could not take care of themselves.


    Millwall, how can it be so strong!


    Ronaldinho turned Kelly''s dizzy corner on the wing today. By the 70th minute, Ronaldinho had been attracting the opponent''s defensive transfer on the wing, and then passed to Larson to create a chance after the point. Millwall''s second goal was Scored like this.


    But now Leeds United does not eat this set, Ronaldinho sees that the other party is not fooled, and simply comes hard. The ball combined with the bottom line to break through Kelly, improvised and then used the bull tail to play Ferdinand, with the ball against the restricted area door. Zidane''s signature stunt Marseille roundabout was used before and after.


    After pulling the ball, Ronaldinho heard the cheers of the Lion King Stadium. Leeds United¡¯s new goalkeeper was a former Millwall player, Paul Robinson. He did not expect Ronaldinho to use Marseille maneuver in front of the goal. Beware of Ronaldinho¡¯s shot. When the Marseille manoeuvre was over, the ball rolled into the back of the goal. Ronaldinho''s last pull was to turn the ball away from the goal and kick the ball towards the goal.


    When Robinson reacted, the ball rolled unsteadily towards the far corner, and then, crossed the line to get started.


    The commentator praised Ronaldinho for his beautiful words.


    When Makelele was in the lineup, he played Leeds United best. The posture was like a ferocious wild wolf, fighting with each other for a life and death.


    Ronaldinho playing Leeds United is also the most aggressive player in the Millwall formation.


    When he saw the goal of his godlike appearance, Aldridge suddenly had a thought in his mind.


    If the other 18 Premier League teams are also Leeds United, that would be great!


    Fans in the stands of Lion King Stadium worshipped Ronaldinho. Now they come to the stadium to watch the ball, and many of them come to enjoy Ronaldinho''s performance. This is also a great fun for fans to talk about Millwall.


    Looking at Ronaldinho in the distance from the south stand, he danced familiar dance steps, the figure seemed elegant and freehand, Aldridge''s eyes were dim, probably the same mood as all the crazy lion fans in the stands.


    This football elf with Millwall youth training background will be able to carry the flag of the mad lion. When Nedved, Southgate, and Larson entered the end of their careers, Millwall''s next generation leader The characters are ready to come out.


    Ronaldinho, whoever you want!


    At this time, no one would question Ronaldinho, his crowning of the throne is only a matter of time.


    Leeds United left London sadly. The Lion King Stadium gave them too many painful memories. The only time they could bargain on the road was back to two seasons before. It was only a draw.


    Today, the final score of 0:4 made their mood fall to the bottom, and the good momentum brought by the two-game winning streak was directly cut in half.


    O''Reilly can no longer be compared with Audridge, just like Tottenham once fell into the dust.


    Millwall had three straight wins in the Premier League, scoring 11 goals and scoring 1 goal, leading the Premier League standings. From the beginning of the season, they showed a good competitive state, which is closely related to their peace of mind all summer.


    Fleet Street panicked again!


    Lamented that the Premier League title competition this season may again enter the rhythm of Millwall''s early lock.


    "People are saying that the Premier League competition has become more intense, yes, indeed, but the more precise description is that the 19 Premier League clubs are very competitive, and another team called Millwall, they will take the league The champion, the other 19 teams are fighting brutally, competing for three Champions League places, two UEFA Cup places, one Toto Cup place, and three teams relegated, this is the Premier League! Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, traditional The three giants in England, if you have been doing so badly, are you still eligible to be called a giant with Millwall!"


    Even serious newspapers such as the Times have published snarling-like articles in the football section.


    The Premier League only played three rounds, and the season has just begun.


    However, in addition to Millwall, the performance of other teams is simply swearing, **** is not as good.


    In the first round of the Manchester United League, they beat Everton 3:2 at home. In the second round, they were tied by promoted Blackburn 2:2. In the third round, they were tied 1:1 by Aston Villa in Villa Park.


    When Millwall went to Monaco for the European Super Cup, Manchester United lost 5 goals in three games, averaging close to 2 goals, and the two away performances were disappointing. Stam''s departure, Belon joined, With this move in and out, Stam could not be replaced by Blank, and Belon did not play the expected top level for the time being. At the beginning of Manchester United''s new season, the overall strength is not as good as last season.


    Arsenal abused vegetables very majesticly, 4:0 away at Middlesbrough, 4:0 at home Leicester City, but in a strong dialogue, the home defeat to Leeds United was the other two. The big victory is difficult to smooth.


    Liverpool are even worse. In addition to the opener, the last two Premier League games ended in two consecutive losses, losing to Southampton and Bolton respectively.


    Early in the season, Fleet Street advocated that Liverpool would challenge Millwall''s rule. After three rounds, Liverpool was the first to be kicked out of the championship. Fleet Street immediately turned its gun head and fell to Liverpool.


    After three rounds, Millwall has left the championship group by at least 3 points, and Liverpool are 6 points behind. They can already say goodbye to the championship. Throughout the past three years, Millwall has won the league championship. Manchester United, who can put pressure on Millwall, has never fallen behind by 6 points, and even led with a slight advantage in the middle of the season. Once Millwall got rid of the team behind him by 6 points, he advanced to the top 6 seasons. No team has ever surpassed their final rankings at the end of the season. In two of them, they ended the suspense of the championship early.


    When the third round of the Premier League was over, Millwall was already in Monaco and was competing with Liverpool at the Louis II Stadium for the European Super Cup title.


    Aldrich is satisfied with the team¡¯s performance in the new season. In addition to the good foundation for the team¡¯s summer preparations, the four players of Pirlo, Zambrotta, Gattuso and Materazzi will be sought next summer. Transferring back to Italy, they did not choose to leave due to competitive factors, but in the last season of the mad lion, they sincerely wanted to help the team achieve greater success.


    Liverpool also played the third round in advance. In fact, the third round was Millwall playing Liverpool in the league. The FA considers that the two teams will play another game in the Super Cup. Fighting, playing in the Super Cup is equivalent to promoting the Premier League. If after the charity shield, the two teams in the league fight again, and then go to the Super Cup every three days, this kind of publicity effect is definitely very bad. Who is interested in watching the two consecutive The team played three times, especially when Millwall was likely to overwhelm the victory, so the schedule of the two teams was adjusted so that the Super Cup could leave some suspense.


    The English Premier League team will compete in the European Super Cup and compete for the title of the king of Europe. This is naturally a good thing for the English Football Association. On behalf of our English Premier League, English football will be more noticeable.


    There was no shortage of seats in the stadium of Louis II, and members of the royal family also came to watch the game, but the heavenly father did not make beauty, and there was drizzle today.


    Aldridge and Hollier met again in less than a month. He was very enthusiastic in pre-game conversations with each other, and Hollier looked strange.


    He probably understood what Wenger said at the party when he returned to France for a holiday last year.


    "The most painful thing in England is seeing Aldridge."


    Probably because of the sudden emergence of Millwall, Ferguson¡¯s relationship with Wenger is not as irreversible as the original history. Ferguson has to pick things up, and the spearheads are all aimed at Millwall. The two pinched in front of the media last season. Half a year later, Ferguson lost the championship, and now he has to swallow his mouth.


    Liverpool came to Monaco with the two-game losing streak of the league to compete with Millwall for the championship.


    After all, the Charity Shield is a friendly match. The honor of the European Super Cup is much higher than the Charity Shield.


    Today''s Liverpool players'' expressions are particularly heavy, and the sight of them is a sense of sight that they will die if they don''t win.


    Aldridge sat on the coach before the game started, and Klinsmann asked in surprise, "Why are you sitting down again?"


    Aldridge looked baffled and asked, "Why can''t I sit down?"


    Klinsmann laughed: "It is estimated that everyone is used to you standing on the sidelines and directing the game?"


    Aldridge laughed dumbly and said nothing more.


    This season, the team has left the main frame. The team is working well. He doesn¡¯t need to worry too much. The club¡¯s work is a lot easier, allowing him to focus his attention on the England national team. As for the on-site command, he There is no need to stand on the sidelines as before.


    All the heavyweights on the field, Aldridge can''t always spur them all the time as before, properly giving players free space, as long as the professional attitude is not a problem, the competition itself, Aldridge can now enjoy its success, only It''s when Aldridge should play a key role when he really encounters difficulties that the team cannot solve on its own.


    He doesn''t need to stand on the sidelines, as long as his eyes are on the field, there is his role invisible.


    Just like playing Liverpool today, combined with weather and other factors, the team''s self-adjusting ability will soon be revealed. This is the effect of qualitative change after a certain amount of experience has been accumulated.


    Millwall may not have the same rhythm and frequency in every game. The team can now flexibly adjust to play with the most appropriate rhythm.


    Liverpool tried to speed up the rhythm, forcing Millwall''s overall formation to contract back and forth, but they ignored the wet skies caused by the rain, and the rhythm was fast, but their own offensive mistakes were frequent. Millwall did not seek fast and seek stability. , The opportunities created are less, but in the limited opportunities, grasped two.


    The goals of Nedv¨§d and Zambrotta helped the team beat Liverpool 2-0, winning the European Super Cup for the fourth time and defending it twice.


    At the end of the game, Millwall players did not make a frantic celebration on the court. They just gave each other high-five. It was no surprise that they won the championship that was not so impressive in their hearts.


    Liverpool''s players were sad. Owen, Gerrard, and Carragher stood on their hips in different places, looking at their opponent, Millwall.


    They can see that the mad lion is not a particularly rare champion, but the game is the competition, and the champion does not mean that the victory will be given to the opponent.


    Millwall''s powerful, they feel very profound, as the opponent Liverpool, seems to have no power to fight back, within 90 minutes is dominated by fate, limited resistance appears pale and weak.


    Irving, Gerald, and Carragher all came together in the summer of seven years ago. Audrey came to visit and personally invited them to join Millwall.


    Seven years ago, they ignored Millwall.


    Seven years later, Millwall has become too high for them to climb!

 Chapter 663： Eve of the decisive battle

    Before September, Millwall had won two championships. Chicken ribs are chicken ribs. It is indeed the kind of championship that won''t be too exciting to give up.


    The Millwall team returned to London. At the same time, the club¡¯s CEO, Ya, currently went to the UEFA Champions League draw for the new season.


    Aldridge missed the lottery again after last season. It is estimated that from now on, he will not be interested in going to see the Millwall lottery result. The UEFA Champions League expansion, team division, how UEFA draws, for Mill As far as Wall is concerned, the death group in the public sense can create some trouble at best, but it will never reach the point of life and death.


    The four Premier League teams participating in the Champions League, Millwall, Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, and the signing are all good, but to say who is the most difficult group, it is the defending champion Millwall.


    Manchester United, A Coru?a, Lille, Olympiacos.


    Arsenal, Pennadian Negas, Mallorca, Schalke 04.


    Liverpool, Dortmund, Bo Vista, Dynamo Kiev.


    Millwall, Juventus, Porto, Celtics.


    Obviously, Millwall was divided into the "death group", the four teams are the strongest teams of all grades.


    In an interview in London, Aldridge was very satisfied with the result of the lottery, and said nothing else. As for his confrontation with the silver fox Lippi of Juventus in Ernin Palace, Aldridge did not cater to the media hype. Just laughed and looked forward to fighting Lippi again.


    Before the arrival of FIFA match day, Millwall had another League Cup to play, Aldridge enabled the rotation of the whole team, directly on the bench.


    Millwall washed the Oxford United with a big score of 7:1 away. Klose scored 5 goals in a single game to become the biggest focus.


    However, Aldridge focused on the performance of the back line. Pedretti''s performance tends to be stable. The potential is endless. It is true, but the strength has reached the level of a giant substitute. It belongs to the kind that let him play the main role. You I think he is almost, but let him sit on the bench, you will have a bottomed player, you can sleep well.


    Metzelder and Barzali also started to be reassuring. In the past, their appearance will give people a sense of immediate fear, fearing that they will make mistakes, and now they can be more at ease, Alonso got more opportunities last season The confidence has been greatly improved, and the progress is obvious to all. Although Lamor can not reach the height of genius that was once expected to be high, but the backup level of the giants is also favored by Aldridge, especially he plays a cascading role in the offense. There was always an unexpected performance. Villa did not expect the blockbuster as expected from the outside world and quickly became a first-line star. At the end of the year, he will be 20 years old. He lost his attention in the past two years, but Aldridge thinks this is a good thing, Billy. Ya is also growing in a low profile. He does not belong to the kind like Piero. After Raul became famous, he steadily entered the first-class player. After his fame, opponents in the Premier League field targeted him. Practicing ball skills, and continuing to strengthen the body in the future, Aldrich believes that in two or three years, Villa will really enter the realm of first-class players.


    Two newcomers, De Rossi and Kaka, Aldridge did not expect them this season, because they will lack stability, just boarded the professional arena, or to feel the atmosphere, integrate into the team, familiar with the rhythm, adapt to the environment Mainly.


    Millwall has fewer staff this season and more games. It is conservatively estimated that there are 14 games in the Champions League to enter the quarterfinals, plus 38 games in the league, which is 52 games, and then counted as the Charity Shield, Super Cup, Toyota Cup , FA Cup, League Cup, if the performance of each front this season is better than last season, there will be almost 70 games in a season.


    Aldridge¡¯s plan for the main players is about 40-45 games, and the rest are substitutes. With the addition of the main lineup, it is impossible for the main lineup to have no injury throughout the season. Millwall¡¯s substitute players won this season. There will be a lot of chances to play, such as Klose, Alonso and other major substitute players, more than 30 appearances absolutely no problem.


    Not to mention that there are fewer Millwalls and the lineup has not changed much, but the overall strength is still greatly improved in the new season, because substitute players like Metzelder and Alonso are growing every season and debuted this season. , Just washed away the opponent on the road, even if the opponent is a fish belly, but the strength displayed on the field can not be ignored.


    Before FIFA match day, Aldridge rested at home.


    He feels a lot more relaxed in the new season. The key is the stability of the club. No need to worry too much. Reminiscent of the turmoil last summer and the money to go to Asia, and then compared with the start of the new season this year, Audridge sighed: There must be something Lost.


    As the sky was bright, Aldridge played football with his two sons on the lawn in the backyard at home. Yiwen was holding a digital camera while recording the video, with a smile on his face.


    Aldrich always thought that Earl didn''t like playing football, only Burt liked to play, but he was wrong.


    Now Burt and Earl can run with the ball, simply shoot and pass each other.


    Burt seemed to play football with ordinary kids, and he had no tricks.


    But Earl''s flexibility is amazing, he is not playing, he is playing, and has practiced for a while, and now he can beat the trumpet in one shot!


    When interacting with Burt, he will also try to change direction. Although he can''t see any obvious acceleration, he has a good sense of excellence.


    As a result, his brother Burt looked a little clumsy.


    Aldrich doesn''t care too much. How can he be a parent and betray his children?


    He set a small goal in front of a wall in the backyard. When he came home from get off work, he often played a game with two sons. Of course, he came to guard the goal, and the two sons shot.


    Burt always hits a shot to force, kicking the speed with force, Earle is a lot of cunning, this is how it is today.


    Aldridge stood in front of the door, posed as a goalkeeper, and smiled at Earl: "Be careful, don''t twist your feet."


    Earl always likes to play tricks and has had sprained experience before.


    I saw Earl pulled back two steps, then slowly ran towards the ball to make a shot. His foot circled in front of the ball. Aldridge naturally saw that he was doing a fake move, but he directly fluttered in coordination. To the right, Earl kicked the ball towards the empty goal.


    "Yeah! Goal!"


    Earl yelled to celebrate with Burt with both hands and then rushed towards Aldridge


    Aldrich, who was moved in advance to be "deceived" the center of gravity, lay on his back on the lawn and wailed: "You are too powerful, how did you come up with such a powerful trick?"


    Elhaha smiled and rushed in front of Aldridge. Aldridge was dragged into his arms. Earl screamed excitedly: "I defeated you, Dad, I defeated you! Hahaha."


    "You are so powerful, I am not your opponent, tell me, who taught you?"


    "KUN taught me. He is amazing. Yesterday he won Islington''s team. He scored 6 goals in 40 minutes."


    Aldridge haha ??smiled, Islington is a district of Greater London, 13-year-old Aguero is estimated to play street football with his teammates, play the wild team of Islington, Millwall youth training, Before the age of 16, players always had the time to promote the tradition of street football contests. At that time, Najib personally led the team to sweep the street football team in Greater London. Now it is not so strict, but it will still require U16 players to have at least one game every week. Street football game experience.


    Street football is actually a very important part of cultivating players. The so-called art is in the folk. English football lacks creativity. A major source is that professional players have entered a fixed-mode youth training system from an early age, and they are constrained by inspiration and freedom. South American football Even in places like Latin America, such as France in Europe, many football stars are kicked out of street football.


    Burt and Earl were taken by Ewen to watch the street football game yesterday, and Burt also came over and told the content of watching the game yesterday by Aldridge.


    Aldridge didn''t hear them mention Messi, and he understood it when he thought about it.


    If Aguero and Messi team up to play against other wild teams in London, it is estimated that no team is willing to play with them, it is simply looking for abuse, so they go out to play wild ball, they all act alone, at most one or two A teammate of non-offensive players will go together, and sometimes the crowd will break up, and people in different teams are willing to play with you.


    Like yesterday, Aguero went with Bynes, also called one of his brothers, and abused another 8:2, and returned home with pleasure.


    "The older brother of Islington said he would never play with KUN again, unless KUN and their team."


    Earl''s eyebrows danced and Aldridge found it interesting.


    Yi Wen took a digital camera to record the whole process. These memories will become a wonderful memory when they are old.


    After spending two days of carefree rest at home, Aldridge returned to work. The England national team went to Liverpool to prepare for the sixth round of the World Cup preliminary preliminaries with Finland in Liverpool. Using Anfield, in the final round against Greece, they will go to Manchester next door and use Old Trafford.


    The restructuring of Wembley has also adversely affected the England national team to a certain extent. That is, the home game venue is not fixed. Although many European countries have been used in turn at home, for England, it has been in Wembley in the past. Lee, this habit is suddenly broken, and will certainly have a little impact.


    At the beginning of the new season, the internationals are full of energy, which is a positive impact.


    England ranked third in this group, because in June bye, Finland originally had one point less than England. As a result, they defeated Albania in June. Now they have 12 points, 3 points more than England, but England have one less than them. Field, as long as England wins in this game, it will basically lock the second place in the group in the World Preliminaries, because after this battle in Finland, there is still one game with Greece and all eight games are over, while England still has two games.


    This game will be the key to England¡¯s ability to qualify for the World Cup. If it can be won, at least the qualification for the playoffs will be stabilized. If it cannot be won, considering the next round of being a guest in Germany, it is very likely that even the qualification for the playoffs will be lost. Arrive!


    The two World Preliminaries in September, and the World War II group stage finals in October, will be the final battle for England''s entry into the Korea-Japan World Cup.

 Chapter 664： positional warfare

    The England national team came to Liverpool''s site. When training at the Melwood training base, Aldridge noticed that the national team''s atmosphere changed slightly from last season.


    This change made him happy, and there was a little bit of pride.


    Beckham, Scholes, Irving, Neville, these Premier League stars, are more awesome in front of Aldridge than they used to be, they obeyed Aldridge, and there will be almost no problems in training, Aldridge said Whatever, they go directly to execute.


    The relationship between Aldridge and this group of players is very complicated. The national team must be one-handed and return to the club to meet the swordsmen. With the improvement of the national team''s record, the prospects are worth looking forward to. , These players are envious of the envy and outsiders are unknown, Aldridge faded the magic coat, one success is magic, two times is magic, when three times, four times, continuous success, this is not magic, it is absolute Their strength, Beckham, they are in awe. The Aldridge in their eyes is just like what the Fleet Street touts, like a god, with the magic power of turning decay into magic, working for him. The trophy does not dare to be extravagant. At least breaking through oneself and achieving certain achievements is just around the corner.


    Aldridge changed from a young coach to a handsome coach. He never convinced players to rely on hysterical roar. No matter in the club or the current national team, there is a strong consensus among players: Aldridge is the boss and must listen to the boss!


    From the beginning of the season, Aldridge has focused on the technical and tactical play of Finland, and combined with the current world preliminaries, the technical and tactical system of the England national team has been formed. The rest is that it takes time to mature the technical and tactical skills. It exerts more power. On this basis, Aldridge has a lot more room to play. He can fine-tune his opponents in preparation for the situation, and there will be no foundation for shaking the technical and tactical framework because of fine-tuning.


    At the news conference in Anfield, and as the host role, Aldridge feels weird in his heart. I am afraid that Liverpool fans can¡¯t accept it. Less than a month after the start of the new season, it was sent by Millwall led by Aldridge. Two runner-ups were given to Liverpool.


    But who makes Liverpool want to make money? Otherwise, why not apply for hosting the home game of the national team with the FA?


    When attending the press conference, Aldridge''s expression was extremely serious, which was in sharp contrast to the smiles on the reporters'' faces.


    Fleet Street is more optimistic, thinking that after winning the game today, England will get rid of the huge negative shadow of the home defeat of Germany after the European Cup defeat last year. The public can fully expect the performance of England in the World Cup next year.


    "The first person said that England would win, the second person started talking about the next game we will go to Germany, and the third person is already looking forward to the World Cup. What I want to say is that England is in a much worse situation than Finland. Suppose, today We can¡¯t win Finland, then Finland has 2 more points than us. As long as they win the last game, they have 5 more points than us, and England still have two games left after this game, even if one win and one tie, we will still After being eliminated, there is no chance to participate in the play-offs! Yes, in the past three world preliminaries, we have achieved three victories, but if three victories have made us lose our minds, England will likely miss the World Cup. I am not in Splashing cold water, I''m talking about the reality. Players, coaches, and even the fans who cheer us on should keep calm. England will fight for victory. The basis of victory is to face our opponents first. Finland is not as good as us, but if they Tomorrow defeated England, and their probability of entering the World Cup will exceed 90%!"


    Aldridge is warning the team, the media, and the fans.


    Don''t be overly optimistic!


    Football games are often overjoyed before the game, but sad after the game!


    Since England is facing three decisive battles, it must have a sense and attitude of decisive battles!


    The following day, Fleet Street¡¯s voice still echoed with Aldridge. In making trade-offs, if England cannot enter next year¡¯s World Cup, Fleet Street¡¯s loss will be very large. After all, the British will not generate too much media information without England¡¯s participation. Enthusiasm, newspaper sales, and program ratings will inevitably plummet.


    At this point, Fleet Street still has a bottom line, or that is driven by interests. They hope that the England team will be the focus all the time, especially the competition.


    In the locker room before the game, Audridge observed that the players looked more serious, and their minds were sober, knowing that this game was a life-and-death battle. When they played against each other, Finland had a draw with England at home. Lower Finland, changed to the home today, the players themselves will not produce excessive blowout confidence will definitely win the opponent, serious attitude is correct, attaches great importance to the opponent.


    In view of this, Aldridge did not remind the players of anything, but encouraged the momentum to let the team play.


    The Finnish national team also attaches great importance to this game, this is their penultimate game of the world preliminaries.


    If they can win England on the road, they have at least the hope of playing in the playoffs, and the hope is great. After all, England will be visiting Germany in the next round, and not many people are optimistic that England can make a difference in Munich.


    Even if it is tied, as long as Finland kills Greece in the last round, they still have the advantage.


    At this time, the biggest players in the Finnish national team are Hypia and Litmanen. The team''s strength is not first-class, at best second-class top, but by playing as a whole, it can still do something. If it is not the top two in England After defeating Finland, they lost to Germany, and now it is not their turn to fight against Finland now.


    "The World Cup European Region Qualifier Group I, England¡¯s sixth round is about to start in Anfield. National team coach Hall has shown a cautious attitude towards this game. Many football media today also voiced concerns because Finland They may give up their bold attack for a draw. As long as they get a draw, they will maintain a 2 point lead over the England team. I think this is a test for the England national team. In the past few games, the biggest feature of England is the counterattack. Today, when faced with a positional battle, the advantages they honed may be limited to the maximum. I hope that the young guys of the national team can work hard to achieve satisfactory results for the fans. Of course, I am talking about a victory. There is nothing More important than victory."


    Aldrich stood on the sidelines before the game, gazing calmly with his hands in his pockets.


    Today''s battle is about to take place!


    Even if he wanted to fight a positional battle, Aldridge did not change the formation framework of 4321.


    The atmosphere in Anfield is more general today.


    Only Owen will win an extraordinary cheer when he touches the ball. At other times, it feels like the volume is reduced by half.


    Aldridge can understand that there are 11 players on the field, just one Liverpool player in Irving. McManaman left with Liverpool fans very unhappy. The rest, four Manchester United players, three Millwall players, in the stands Nearly half of the English fans who are Liverpool fans background, I am afraid it is difficult to give the greatest enthusiasm.


    After watching the game for ten minutes, Aldridge felt a little relieved.


    Although Finland is mainly defensive, it hasn''t taken the ultimate anti-reverse posture and came to the road. Finland has ideas about victory.


    Even if they draw England on the road, Finland has an advantage, but they can''t say that their destiny is entirely in their hands. In case England wins after two battles, they will still be eliminated.


    Therefore, they actually challenge England with an arrangement of 6 absolute defense, 3 offensive and defensive switching, and 1 absolute offense.


    "Isn''t England playing a bit conservative today? The offense seems to be back to its old form. Beckham''s cooperation with Neville on the right is very active. On the left, McManaman and Owen pull the side close to cooperate, but the penalty area There is no one here. Scholes¡¯s frequent forward threat is not a big threat. Hepia is very calm in commanding the defense in the penalty area. Ashley Cole and Lampard should attack more boldly to provide the frontcourt Support is just right."


    Fans in the stands also felt that England played more conservatively than Finland today, and according to today''s style of play, Beckham''s advantage can''t be played. Who will he pass the ball to? Irving and Scholes? Can they grab a spot in front of Hypea?


    The players on the court actually knew that today¡¯s positional battles were very effective, with only one shot in the first 15 minutes, or Owen¡¯s reluctant choice to get up.


    However, the players are very determined to implement the tactics formulated by Aldridge before the game, and everyone knows that this play is only temporary.


    Beckham cooperated with Neville, and the threat in the cross on the right is not small, especially today he was scheduled to find the point in the cross, or his teammate in the club, Scholes!


    The Finnish team has a lot of counterattack opportunities, but in addition to Neville¡¯s bold assists in the backcourt of England, when defending, the backcourt maintains Bart + Lampard with a double midfielder and another five guards. It is difficult for Finland¡¯s counterattack to form an effective counterattack. Attacking the goal, the defense line commanded by Southgate was steadily resolved.


    Until the 27th minute of the game, Beckham suddenly didn''t pass the high-altitude ball and changed it to the ground pass. This time the ball was introduced into the penalty area. Scholes inserted diagonally from the front of the penalty area and took a step forward while getting the ball. , Pulled out the angle to form an excellent opportunity, but unfortunately, Ginger''s shot was somewhat positive, and was directly blocked by the goalkeeper with one hand.


    "Scholes missed a good opportunity. This is a collaboration between Manchester United players. Is this the picture Hall wants to see? Or is Beckham changing the way of passing the ball, is it the killer? The game has been going on for half an hour, and the offensive of the England team makes people look anxious. This is not like Hall¡¯s coaching style. In the past few games, England can¡¯t score even 30 minutes, but the shooting opportunity and attacking method will make We saw hope, and today, we did not see this."


    After 2 minutes, England, whose offense was frequently concentrated on the right, suddenly shifted the attack. Scholes shifted the ball from the middle to the left. McManaman took the ball in the wing and pulled it out in front of the penalty area through lateral dribbling. Empty, and then a long shot with a mass on the line of the big penalty area blasted out.


    The Finnish goalkeeper kept the goal intact and put the ball out of the crossbar.


    Finland felt the pressure and was afraid of being attacked by opponents. The soldiers divided more to mark McManaman, Beckham and Scholes. These three people are very active outside the penalty area.


    Aldridge saw the adjustment of the Finnish team''s defensive strategy and raised his chin slightly, his eyes sharp.


    The real killer, it''s time to go!

 Chapter 665： Regain destiny

    From the beginning of the game, Lampard and Ashley Cole have done their defensive tasks in the midfield and left midfield respectively. They did not step forward to assist. Lampard still has the task of coping, which is generally more leisurely. .


    As the game continues, the two must be mentally focused. This is just a basic requirement. At the same time, they must also think about and analyze the situation in the frontcourt.


    When Beckham was on the right, Scholes was on the middle, and McManaman was on the left, attracting more than one opponent''s defense, Lampard realized that Aldridge''s tactical arrangements before the game began to play a role. .


    He waved at Ashley Cole, and Ashley Cole nodded heavily when he saw it.


    Suddenly, Finland seemed to find a way to restrain England¡¯s offensive. Beckham lost the ball under the entanglement. Scholes passed the ball to find Irving unsuccessfully. Within 5 minutes, England¡¯s two attacks before the penalty area were not formed Shooting opportunity.


    Finland is more firm in this adjusted defensive strategy.


    Just when the Finns thought they had no worries, England launched a wave of unexpected attacks.


    Litmanen took a long pass in the frontcourt, Ferdinand took the lead to make a header and clear the ball. Butt controlled the second drop and passed the ball to Scholes who retreated. Ginger headed the ball and turned. Beckham played a two-on-one match. Finland focused on defending him. Scholes found that there was not much space in front, so he retreated and continued to control the ball.


    McManaman moved to the left in front of the penalty area, and Scolster intended to make another cross-match with Beckham and then quickly transferred the ball to McManaman.


    When McManaman received the ball, the Finnish player quickly defended him, but McManaman got rid of the space and suddenly knocked the ball towards the bottom of the penalty area on the same side, behind the Finnish defender. At the same time, Ashley Cole flew straight from the outer line to the bottom line, passing the timing with McManaman just right.


    The Finnish team didn''t expect Ashley Cole to kill him suddenly, and as soon as he came up, he directly reached the bottom line, as if he had no one.


    Ashley Cole did not rush into the pass, dribbling the ball quickly to the goal steering wheel along the bottom line, the Finland team''s back line was shocked, and three defensive players rushed to Ashley Cole from different directions. Ashley Cole knocked the ball back to the top of the penalty area, where the defense was completely empty, and Scholes'' forward insertion took away the defensive player.


    Lampard hit the horse!


    Lampard originally wanted a direct long shot, but noticed that his teammates were out of position, so when the Finnish defender quickly rushed in this direction, Lampard slid the ball to the right front.


    Ashley Cole, Lampard, suddenly shifted the ball twice in a row, and the Finnish defensive player couldn''t keep up.


    Beckham scored from the right front of Lampard. After catching the ball, it was already a single-handed trend, but it was a little closer to the goalkeeper.


    The air in Anfield seemed to be frozen.


    Everyone knows how huge the impact this game will have on the fate of the two teams. A broken ball is worth a lot of money.


    Beckham didn''t have to show how gorgeous his right-footed gold ball can shoot at the moment. The distance was so close. A simple and rough shot made a strong volley. The Finnish goalkeeper didn''t respond. The ball entered the top corner of the goal and hit the top After jumping online, he landed on the turf inside the door and bounced a few times.


    Anfield burst out of the passion the stadium should have had!


    The mountains shouted like a tsunami, and countless figures on the stands stood up and waved their arms at the same time. The scene was spectacular!


    "England scored a goal! David Beckham! This is a golden goal! This goal allowed England to temporarily surpass Finland in the standings, and we have one game less than the opponent! Hold this In a victory, England can at least qualify for the play-offs! This goal must praise the performance of Ashley Cole and Lampard, the two should assist as soon as possible! Ashley Cole went down the bottom line, Lampard''s great pass in front of the penalty area, Beckham finally settled in the end! I hope England can make persistent efforts."


    After Beckham scored a goal, he also rushed to celebrate, and came to Jiaoqi District with open arms and a charming smile on his face.


    Other teammates also ran to celebrate.


    Aldridge just applauded on the sidelines, never laughed.


    This **** is a decisive battle!


    He couldn''t laugh because the game was not over. He had to say that in the position of the coach of the England national team, his heart was actually on thin ice, not reluctant to take this seat, but there was always a fear that the England team would fall off the chain.


    To put it bluntly, it is actually a short time with him and most of the players, and the information he understands is obtained from external observations. It is not as thorough as the coaching club.


    In today¡¯s battle of positions, Aldrich thinks about it. Instead of playing 60 minutes in a step-by-step manner, he may still be deadlocked and fight for his life. It is better to use 30 minutes for tactical cover. After all, the short board of the battle of positions is very large and has many advantages. It can''t be played. For example, England lacks a reliable high center, Husky is tall and mighty, and the ability to seize the opportunity can make Aldridge tearful.


    Therefore, Aldridge can only do a tactical cover without changing the tactical framework.


    Beckham and Neville''s offensive attack on the right, Scholes'' frequent forward insertion in the penalty area, McManaman threatened on the left, can score in the first thirty minutes, then it should be a winning, can''t score, As long as the threat is issued once or twice, Finland will raise an alarm and further tighten the restrictions.


    From a global perspective, this is also England¡¯s shortcoming, because the English national team does not have a player like Ronaldinho who can attract 2-3 defensive players and pass the ball. To create such an effect.


    After the celebration of the English players, Aldridge quickly gestured on the sidelines and called Beckham to the front.


    Just after scoring a goal, Beckham was excited, but when he saw Aldridge¡¯s serious expression, he immediately woke up and waited for Aldridge to say, "Coach, I know what to do next, you said before the game After that, we will change back to the familiar tactics after leading."


    After listening to Beckham¡¯s words, Aldridge no longer emphasized, patted his shoulder and said: ¡°David, you are the team¡¯s deputy captain. You have to play a certain leadership role on the court and lead the team to achieve today¡¯s An important victory. If you find that some teammates are not playing as they said before the match, you have to remind the opponent, and even demand the opponent severely."


    Beckham nodded heavily, then ran back to the court, and actively communicated with McManaman and Scholes before the kick-off.


    In fact, the most important thing is the game stance of the three of them. If they don¡¯t take it back and return to the original 4321 position, the three lines will be easily disconnected. Southgate is sitting in the back line. Aldrich¡¯s ¡°Edict¡± is sure to With the best execution, Lampard is Aldridge''s soldier, which is no problem.


    The ball drop hit Finland very hard, and the situation changed dramatically after the ball drop.


    If Finland loses this game, the qualification for play-offs will be slim!


    Unless England has two consecutive losses in the next two games, Finland will still beat Greece. Even if they tie Greece, England will lose two consecutive games in a row and they will not be able to achieve the second place in the group, because England have more goal difference than them.


    The game has become simple.


    Finland must attack, must score, not score, it is a dead end.


    The England team played 4321, nearly a year after the transformation and construction of Aldridge. After the Finnish attack, the unpredictable crazy counterattack of England became a huge threat.


    In stoppage time in the first half, Beckham counterattacked the offensive offensive after the counterattack. McManaman got the ball and knocked back to Lampard. Lampard then passed Scholes. The ball was handed over to McManaman, but after a triangle pass, McManaman has turned and turned offside to break through the defense line between the opposing full-back and central defender.


    After dribbling the ball into the penalty area, McManaman crosses the goal in front of the goal, Owen grabs the front point and directly pushes the ball from a small angle to the net from the near corner of the goal.


    "2:0! England''s beautiful counterattack, Owen completed the final blow, good shot! When the Finnish team started to attack, their defense line became larger and the England counterattack had a wider space to play, this It is the situation that the England team most wants to see. Now, the England team has fulfilled their wish and achieved a two-ball lead!"


    Aldridge calmed down a lot, and waved his fist.


    When Irving scored, he could not help acknowledging that Irving was the top scorer.


    Such a pure shooter, counterattack is the most suitable stage to play, giving play to his two advantages of running position and shooting.


    In the first half England 2-0 Finland.


    This has basically laid the final result of the game. The Finnish team has limited strength. No matter how extraordinary it is, it is impossible to play a super first-class level. Moreover, England is still anti-reverse. As long as it is not the self-destructing Great Wall, the victory has fallen into the bag.


    The development of the second half did not break away from Aldridge''s control.


    The Finnish team furiously counterattacked, but the defense line was struck with repeated blows in England''s counterattacks.


    When Scholes scored England''s fourth goal in the 73rd minute, the Finnish team accepted the reality and gave up to continue the offensive.


    Aldridge replaced Scholes and Owen and let them down to rest. After a week, they would visit Germany to avoid their excessive consumption. At the same time, England also focused on saving physical energy and slowed down the pace on the court. , Consciously consume game time.


    When the game ended, Anfield thundered applause.


    England swept Finland 4-0, with 13 points in 6 games, ranking second in the group, with two games remaining in the World Preliminaries group stage.


    "Good news came from another venue. The German team was evenly tied by Greece in Athens! As a result, the German team scored 14 points in 6 wins, 4 wins and 2 draws. England scored 13 points in 6 battles, only 1 point behind Germany. In the next match with the German team, if England can win, England will have the opportunity to directly advance to next year¡¯s World Cup as the first group. Even if it is a draw, there is still a chance in the final round, although the hope is very slim, The last game of the German team was against Albania."


    Fans and players on the scene were informed of the results of the game between Greece and Germany for the first time. Everyone was excited and the applause of the fans was even more heated.


    When Aldridge took over the national team, not only was the penultimate team in the world preliminaries, but also the morale of the team fell to the bottom. Less than a year later, the England team climbed to the second place in the standings with four consecutive victories, killing Greece and At the same time, the gap between Finland and Germany has narrowed to 1 point, and they have regained their own destiny. Whether they can directly advance to the World Cup finals depends on the next British-German war in Munich. That will be a battle of revenge in England!


    Aldridge was overjoyed when he heard that Germany had been tied by Greece.


    The good news is that Germany has planted, and the worry is that Greece is under the leadership of Rehagel, and the technical and tactical style is undergoing earth-shaking changes. The final game of England is facing Greece with no desire!

 Chapter 666： English farce

    On the eve of the Munich expedition, the England national team assembled again in London, and after a big victory over Finland, the team had a day off.


    After two days of restorative training, the team''s physical and mental state recovered to the best on the third day.


    In the early morning, in the restaurant of the training base, the players sat together for breakfast, and the coaches sat at another table. This is also the requirement of Audridge. The team must eat uniformly, and the table rules have no special requirements, unlike Some iron-fisted coaches will ask players to keep quiet.


    Aldrich always believes that the formation of unity in a team, communication is a very important part, in addition to work, if in life together, try to maintain a harmonious relationship, in order to shape unity.


    The situation of the national team is much more complicated than that of the club. After all, it is an opponent in the league. The only good situation is that the English public enemy Millwall, the club''s main iron is only Southgate.


    The players looked at the morning newspaper and many people showed a faint smile on their faces.


    Anyone who gets praise from the outside world just after getting up is estimated to be very happy.


    If England wins, it will naturally be held up.


    Irving flipped through the newspaper and read a few articles praising England, especially the scoring players.


    But he suddenly thought: the coach has not praised any player.


    With such a thought, the complacent heart disappeared immediately.


    In four games, England scored 15 goals. After four wins, Aldridge¡¯s remarks after the game were almost the same: England played a good game.


    Albania, Greece, Finland.


    Anyway, Aldridge did not feel that England¡¯s victory over such an opponent deserved praise, and he personally just revealed that England should have won such an opponent.


    In this context, especially with an honorable captain Southgate, the spirit of the entire England team is also changing. They were not children, they were floating with some praise, but before Aldridge took office, The England team has been controversial and highly blamed. From the 98 World Cup Beckham red card to Hoddle¡¯s autobiography caused turmoil, to the defeat of the European Cup in 2000 and the loss to Germany at home, such a team needs encouragement. After being praised, there may be a kind of long-term drought and pleasure. It is normal psychology for players to be slightly complacent, but Aldridge still needs the team to quickly come to a temperamental state of "winning, not arrogant, not discouraged," because In fact, there is not much time left for England. The World Cup and 9 months are coming!


    Fleet Street tracked the entire England World Cup preliminaries. During the trip to Germany, the outside world photographed the suit and leather of the entire England team. Under the leadership of Aldridge, he walked into the airport and took a plane to Munich.


    Although the stars on the court are Beckham and Irving, no one will ignore the changes that Aldridge has brought to this team.


    Now the England team is less impetuous and has a more calm. The fans always criticize that the England team is not like a team. The fans are not interested in seeing David Beckham¡¯s salon fashion show, or what hairstyle they have changed. , Only fans who are pure star chasers are interested. The English team under Aldridge is more like a pure competitive team, less off-court offense and attention, but during the national team game, the players are strict and self-discipline, no Commercial activities, no indulgence of lingering nightclubs, no annoyance requires a coach to extinguish the fire, even though this is not the iron-blooded England that the old fans expect in the traditional impression, but at least they want to blame them, but there are not many valid reasons.


    Aldridge''s prestige within the team has made players feel fear and crisis.


    This sense of crisis is that if they violate the rules set by Aldridge, they will most likely face the danger of being kicked out of the national team. Is anyone in the team indispensable?


    Beckham? Irving?


    Maybe they are very important in the club, but in front of Aldridge, they dare not have the slightest thought that they can definitely stay in the confidence of the England national team.


    Millwall sold the absolute main force in succession that year. Did Aldridge succeed in finding a replacement?


    If there are major mistakes today, they will be kicked out of the national team tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, Aldridge will definitely find a suitable replacement.


    This is the true thinking of the national team players.


    Despite the fact that Aldridge did not have that kind of magic, he could make talents or first-class stars out of England, but he gave the impression of players.


    Beckham is atonement, McManaman is making his own redemption and the final rush of his career The difference, but they all have one thing in common, that is, obedient, listen to Aldridge, everyone¡¯s efforts are the same goal, there is something to do in the national team!


    Moreover, as the World Cup enters the one-year countdown period, the national team needs absolute stability. Aldrich¡¯s working attitude is obvious to all. The trust he gave to the players, the players can¡¯t fail, otherwise, they will feel guilty if they are true. If he was kicked out of the national team by Aldridge, what is the right to complain?


    In Munich, Aldridge once again led the team to this unfamiliar city and set foot on the land of Germany. The English team seemed to have stepped onto the battlefield.


    There was a feud between England and Germany. At that time, England''s home win was the goal line. After 30 years of unbeaten Germany, the European Cup England group defeated Germany last year. Germany also returned to England with a defeat at Wembley. Eliminating these footballs Enmity and resentment on the field, England and Germany are inherently feuds.


    At that time, the Nazi bombers blasted London into ruins. On top of the ruins, would the English have less resentment against the Germans?


    This kind of emotion Aldrich understands, it is a bit like the emotion of the Chinese team encountering the Japanese team, although not so deep, after all, the UK is not directly beaten by Germany like France and surrendered to the country.


    The day before the game, Aldridge attended a press conference and declared that Germany is very strong before the game, and England will stubbornly resist the German team on the road!


    "In the past 50 years of history, the German team has won three World Cup titles and three World Cup runner-ups. It has never missed the World Cup. The worst result is the quarterfinals. German football has always been a strong representative of international football. In terms of football, there is still a gap between England and Germany. We have indeed achieved good results in the past year, but the opponents we encountered are not strong. Albania, Finland, Greece, these opponents we have won, in fact, many in the world The strong teams also have the strength to win them, so England is not special. Tomorrow''s game is a severe test. We will try our best to resist the German offense and limit the German team''s play. As long as we don''t lose , I think it is an acceptable result. On the German soil, the last time the England team defeated the German team, it should be, uh, a friendly match played in Nuremberg 36 years ago. In the official game, England never took this land. Walk past victory."


    Aldrich¡¯s words are basically true.


    In fact, the record of engagement between England and Germany is not one-sided, dating back more than half a century ago, the two teams have now confronted each other, and England still has a slight upper hand.


    The German team has 9 wins, 5 draws and 10 losses.


    But there are a lot of friendly games in it. England hasn''t counted in the 30 years of Germany and Germany, and it hasn''t counted the victory or defeat of the friendly game. Otherwise, the 85-year friendly game has beaten Germany.


    In the past 30 years, the two teams have only met 6 times in the main game. The German team has 1 win, 4 draws and 1 loss in the regular time. The losing game was last year¡¯s European Cup group game, and after two of them, there were two draws in the penalty shootout. They defeated the England team. These two defeats caused great pain to England. The 90 World Cup was blocked from the finals. In 1996, the local European Cup was blocked from the finals. That year, Germany was in Wembley. Lee took the European Cup.


    In the official match between England and Germany, England never defeated the German team in Germany. It was only when German football was still behind the world. At that time, England was a pioneer in leading the tactical change in world football. In the friendly game away scored a big score on Germany, when England won Germany two or three, regardless of home and away, it is a breeze.


    Time flies, the seas are turbulent, Germany later came up, and now has left England far behind, empty-mouthed, just look at the honor, football is about success and failure heroes, more trophies than you, I am stronger than you, everything else Nonsense.


    The reporters at the scene did not expect that Aldrich would come to Munich to make such remarks.


    The German media felt that the young marshals in the sky were Jiang Long. Today, they will definitely speak loudly to boost the military''s heart, but unexpectedly, this Jiang Long first put on a posture to worship the mountain.


    Well, it''s quite interesting.


    Then, we don''t have to make things difficult for him.


    Fleet Street was unhappy.


    England and Germany come to a decisive battle. As the national team coach, how can you increase the popularity of others and exterminate your own prestige?


    "Mr. Hall, you said that there is a gap between England and German football, Germany is stronger, but these years, the German football club has been suppressed by the English club in the European War. Don¡¯t you think your words are contradictory? Millwall , Manchester United, don¡¯t all represent England?"


    Aldridge shook his head with a serious expression, he would not have discussed the club on this occasion, but this topic did not have much contact with the club itself, so he solemnly said: "First of all, clarify that Millwall is an English club, But they cannot represent the level of football in England. Manchester United Arsenal, the same is true. They just represent the Premier League. Hear clearly, they represent the Premier League in the European War. The national team and the club are ultimately two concepts. Look at the German team¡¯s local players. What is the proportion, and then look at the proportion of local players in the English club. This is the gap. I insist on my point. The German national team is a representative of the international football powerhouse. I can also express another point of view. The German football club The overall competitiveness in Europe is not strong at this stage."


    Fleet Street is no longer in my heart.


    Aldridge''s elbow turned outward, and his face was a bit unbearable.


    "So why doesn''t England focus on training local players?"


    "Because you want to make the team stronger and fans want to watch higher-quality games, rich clubs naturally need to introduce high-level stars. If the German club is very rich and the German Football Association also allows the team to introduce foreign aid, then the German club ''S competitiveness will also increase rapidly."


    "As the national team coach, don''t you have the responsibility to build England''s future level of competition?"


    "Yes, but I can''t do it. I don''t have the power to decide whether the quota of foreign aid in the Premier League is limited, nor can I counter the club''s opposition. Only stronger teams can increase the probability of obtaining honors and benefits."


    ...


    The German media are happy.


    The English are so funny, the national team coach and his own media ran to the German site to fight.


    This was a ridiculous press conference, and was also mocked by the German media as "the farce of the English" the following day.

 Chapter 667： Come here!

    Munich Olympic Stadium.


    Players from both England and Germany stood in formation in the player tunnel and prepared to debut.


    As a German starter, Schneider casually chatted with Southgate, and suddenly saw someone coming from behind, Schneider''s expression became very exciting.


    He opened his mouth to say hello, and then quickly closed his mouth and stretched his face, his eyes did not know where to look.


    That''s right, the person who came from behind was the head of his club: Aldridge.


    At this moment, Schneider finally realized how Ronaldinho returned to the team privately after the friendly match between Brazil and England at Wembley last year: that game was really **** weird!


    The mood is extremely complicated.


    Schneider had no idea how to face Aldridge.


    After more than seven years of mentoring, it is time for swordsmen to meet!


    Aldridge walked between the players of the two teams with an indifferent expression, but patted his shoulder as he passed Barak and said, "Play well."


    When passing by Schneider, the England team players could not help laughing.


    It seemed that Aldridge was encouraging his opponent, but at this time Barak and Schneider smiled at each other, and their expressions were a bit weird.


    Is this a disturbing opponent''s military?


    Real Madrid bought Zidane in the summer, and Barak returned to Germany, directly joined Bayern Munich, succeeding 33-year-old Effenberg.


    Aldridge walked into the stadium, and a lot of England fans came from the stands. They waved the cross flag that symbolized England, and they created a cheering atmosphere before the game started.


    German coach Waller came to shake hands with Aldridge, and the two returned to their respective positions after a brief greeting.


    Waller is Germany''s legendary star. The pinnacle of his work was in the 1990 World Cup. He sacrificed himself and Rijkaard to the end. In the final, he lost the spot and helped Germany as the king of the world.


    After retiring, he has served as the manager of the Leverkusen club since 1996. In October last year, Leverkusen coach Daum was fired because of the drug scandal, and Waller took over the position of Leverkusen coach in less than half a month. After the German national team appointed Waller as the national team coach, Vogts took Waller''s class in Leverkusen. This series of operations is more like the German Football Association "borrowing" Waller from Leverkusen. .


    Waller has a strong Leverkusen background, and as a result, the national team he governs is also full of Leverkusen genes.


    "A focus battle in Group I of the World Preliminaries is about to begin. Germany sits against the visiting England team at the Munich Olympic Stadium. Both teams have six rounds. Germany has 14 points and England has 13 points. This game is very likely to decide who will directly advance. In the World Cup finals, who is going to play in the play-offs, the last game of the German team is against Albania. The situation is good. As long as they don¡¯t lose in this game, they can basically lock the group first and advance. The last game of the England team is against. Greece, if you lose today, you will definitely not be able to win the top spot in the group. If it is a draw, there is still a weak hope of grabbing the first place in the group. Let''s take a look at the starting formation and appearance of the two sides.


    The England team has a 4321 formation.


    Goalkeeper: Seaman.


    Guards: Neville, Ferdinand, Southgate, Ashley Cole.


    Midfielders: Beckham, Bart, Lampard, Scholes, McManaman.


    Forward: Owen.


    This lineup was determined after Hall took office, and has performed well so far. The World Preliminaries have won four straight games. The firepower is amazing and the defense is solid. But as Hall said in yesterday¡¯s interview, England¡¯s four world preliminaries, and Not tested.


    The German team played their traditional 352 formation.


    Goalkeeper: Kahn.


    Defenders: Link, Nowotny, Voines.


    Midfielders: Schneider, Ballack, Harman, Dessler, Bermey.


    Forwards: Yankel, Neuville.


    There were 7 people who participated in the victory over England last year at Wembley and returned to the home today. The performance of the German team is still worth looking forward to. "


    Aldridge glanced at the starting lineup of the German team, it feels very impressive.


    Both Sauer and Jeremys were absent due to injuries, and the old German heroes also gloriously called the curtain. Now, this generation is indeed blue and yellow.


    Kahn, Link, Barak, Schneider, Harman, maybe the familiar faces of the top games.


    Others, played for Leverkusen, Schalke 04, Hertha Berlin, and so on, but there are not many competitive teams in Europe.


    If it weren¡¯t for Aldridge¡¯s butterfly influence, this national team lineup would be half of the Leverkusen main lineup. In the original history, Barak and Schneider were the main force of Leverkusen, and Lever Cucson also reached the Champions League final in the European War this season. Unfortunately, after missing important players such as Bout, Barack and Schneider, Leverkusen''s future in the Champions League is not optimistic and competitive. Limited.


    To really compare the strength of the lineup, Aldridge believes that today¡¯s England lineup is slightly stronger than the German team, but it will not be much higher. After all, there are Bart, Ashley Cole, Lampard, Ferdinand. Even though there is potential, the strength has reached a certain level, but the players who have not yet stabilized on the club''s top stage have "stuck behind".


    At the beginning of the game, Aldridge saw that the German team had a strong offensive desire and pressed forward. Although it was not too aggressive, the posture was very obvious: mainly attack.


    Think about it.


    Aldridge led the England team, but the abuse of vegetables was the focus of attention, and it was nothing in the eyes of top teams.


    Just like Arsenal slaughtered Middlesbrough, Aston Villa four goals, to ask Manchester United and Millwall what they think? There is only one answer: which is cool and where to stay!


    It''s impossible to abuse God.


    The German team talked about history, dumped a street in England, and talked about the record of the battle. Last year, we just took a look at Wembley and also gave the England national team coach a lesson. I want to say that today I saw the four-game winning England team, the German team. Will you be stunned, is this not a joke? !


    The English team played 4321, with anti-anti-dominant action. This is the performance of the Germans in the eyes of the Germans, afraid of being scored by the German team.


    At the beginning, Barak passed a half-height short distance in front of the penalty area, looking for Yankel''s head.


    Yankel won the fight against Ferdinand, and he consciously headered the striker partner, Neuville, who was inserting forward, as long as the ball rushed forward was a single-handed ball.


    But after stopping the ball in Neuville''s chest, someone immediately broke the ball out of the sideline.


    Southgate is doing this kind of work, Ferdinand blocked the front, Southgate observes the situation, predicts the opponent''s cooperation routine, and makes the final key interception.


    He courageously cleared the ball from the front of Neuville, and then pointed to Bart and shouted: "People who plug in after following each other."


    Then he confessed to Neville and Cole, making up for them at any time.


    Germany¡¯s high center Yankel is of great physical fitness. He is not afraid that he will directly threaten the goal. He is afraid that he will cover his teammates to make the ball. The point inserted later is the most threatening. If the front defense is hit, it is simply It''s a shame, it''s a matter of personal ability.


    The German team opened the sideline and continued to attack. Berme handed the ball to Deisler who played the midfield today. Barack has started to run and is ready to find a long shot. However, Deisler is under the guard between Beckham and Bart. Throw the ball!


    Desler was depressed, a group of engineers in England!


    Bart broke the ball and passed it straight to Scholes. Scholes, who turned his back to the frontcourt, did not turn around and instead kicked the ball to the right midfield area.


    There was no one there.


    This is also the beauty of Scholes'' pass, giving Neville a quick lead.


    When Gary Neville advanced quickly, Barak also went back to defense. He consciously observed Beckham''s running position. He believed that the cooperation between Neville and Beckham was the source of the threat of attack on the right.


    But halfway through, Barak was surprised to find that Beckham stopped in the midfield area and no longer stepped forward!


    Instead, Neville rushed forward with the ball.


    Bo Mei, who was defending on this side, just went to the sideline and was suddenly counterattacked by the England team. He chased back from the back and did not catch up with Neville until the penalty area was approaching. At this time, Haman also made up the seat Helped out.


    Neville looked for an empty cross and Scholes took the ball forward and crossed the Novotny zone diagonally. After entering the area on the right side of the penalty area, Scholes suddenly turned The ball knocks back to the top of the penalty area.


    Owen grabbed the point and took away Warnes. McManaman ran to the front of the penalty area and saw that he had a long-range shot, but he followed Schneider and there was only two steps behind Barak. Can interfere with him or disrupt the attack.


    McManaman gently pushed the ball to the right, and then quickly inserted the left rib of the penalty area. Schneider was still in the shadows, leaving Barak with the rest of the work.


    But Barak didn''t expect the opponent to get the ball like that. There was no one in that direction. He just had to fold to chase the ball, and someone was running by.


    Lampard!


    Barak flew to tackle, trying to destroy the ball, Lampard took the ball a step faster than him, and then hit the door with a heavy foot.


    Kahn responded quickly and blocked the goal to close the corner to save the ball. His hand touched the ball, but it was still slow. Maybe only 0.01 seconds. The ball was more like being pressed by his palm and flew into the goal after bounce.


    "England scored! In the first 2 minutes, England took the lead on the road! Exquisite counter-attacks and enthralling speed enjoyment. England is like a lion running at full speed to catch prey without any stagnation. With hesitation, it is like a hurricane passing by, destroying the German team''s gate! McManaman assists, teenager Lampard breaks the goal, Scholes and Neville also contributed! The England team leads! The scoreboard has overtaken The German team! Overtake the German team!"


    Lampard''s expression remained cold after seeing the goal, and turned around to bypass Novotny, and rushed all the way to the corner flag area before stopping, with an excited smile on his face.


    All the other teammates rushed to him, celebrating with fists in this German land and roaring wantonly!


    The German team was struck by a lightning strike and lost the ball. The German fans in the stadium were unbelievable if they were struck by a sunny day. The counterattack of England was unstoppable. The impression is that England is not the way to go!


    England fans fell into madness, waving cross flags and shouting excitedly.


    Schneider walked in front of Barak and whispered: "We don''t have a full-back defender. If a midfielder goes to the side defense, the middle road will be counterattacked and empty. Head, uh, you know the tactical thinking of the England coach. Some, right?"


    Barak nodded. He played for a short period of time under the Aldridge account. For a full four years, it can be said that Millwall started with counterattacks. The counterattacks were mainly tactical and did not highlight individual players. Ability, the important thing is to contain the opponent''s defensive center of gravity after the rapid shift, to grasp the opponent''s defense adjustment time.


    Schneider''s words actually allow Barak to communicate with Harman, or Barak himself strengthens the protection of the front of the penalty area. Once counterattacked, the three central guards split the defensive side and the midfielder will quickly withdraw from the restricted area.


    Aldridge saw no change in the expression of the goal, but secretly secretly: England is coming to the German territory today!

 Chapter 668： King of the End

    The German team unexpectedly faced an English team with a refreshed mental outlook and a completely different technical and tactical style from the past.


    In terms of paper strength, the obviously stronger England team played a defensive counterattack with a low stance, and the advantages played were speed and player activity area.


    After the first goal conceded, Barak took the initiative to participate in the defense to ensure that the German team will not be caught by England''s flexible running position and tacit pass when facing the counterattack.


    As a result, the German team¡¯s power during the attack was weakened. After being calmly resolved by the English team, the English team¡¯s counterattacks frequently threatened, but they were in the opposing three guards and double backs, plus Schneider¡¯s return. The defense team fouled decisively or made a stoppage. The England team had more chances on the scene, but it was still unable to score the second goal.


    The German team lacked effective support for Barack''s offense, and the offense played very simply, with very general results.


    Schneider is still very threatening on the right, Lampard can''t form an effective interception by himself, and must form a sandwich with Ashley Cole to limit his play.


    The midfielder Deisler played very well today. Bart exerted pressure on him, making him very uncomfortable with the sticky close-up of the Premier League. The other side¡¯s play was completely disappointing on the left. As long as he enters England''s midfield defense zone, if he is close, Beckham or Neville will easily break his ball.


    Yankel and Neuville did not receive the offensive firepower support, and showed some impatience on the front line. With a little space, they tried to shoot and could not pose a threat to Seaman.


    Time passed by one minute and one second, the German team could not open the offensive situation, Waller looked anxiously on the sidelines.


    Barack''s retreat focused on strengthening the defense, and indeed strengthened the protection of the restricted area with Harman, but this only solved the defense, but the German team''s offense was greatly reduced!


    Now in the real-time standings, Germany is behind!


    From the beginning of the qualifiers, Germany has firmly held the top of the list, and now when it comes to the penultimate game being reversed by England, such a blow is really unacceptable, and lost to England on the German land?


    Waller did not think that the German team had to score. Take risks and take risks. Whatever is happening now, England may never score a second goal.


    He gave Barak instructions on the sidelines and attacked!


    Instructed by the coach, Barak did not dare to disobey, and Malaysia killed him with a knife.


    He hit the front line, it did provide immediate help to the German team''s attack. At least, the German team can control the ball in the English midfielder zone, but still can''t find the clue in the final link of the penetration pass, South Gate did a good job of predicting the interception of the pass, and the German team did not have that kind of world-class, similar to the Inzaghi-style opportunistic striker. When the opportunity arises, the striker may have less than 1 second to grasp the time. Keeping up, the golden opportunity was near, and a second later, Southgate resolved.


    After Barak went into the attack, the threat of England''s counterattack rose again.


    In the 31st minute, Barak long-range shot was blocked by Ferdinand in the front of the penalty area. The popped ball landed in front of Ashley Cole. He rushed forward and directly passed McManaman in front of the ball.


    Schneider''s gums were almost crumbling. When Barak was blocked from a long shot, he was in front of the right, predicting that he would not grab the ball one step ahead of Cole and immediately turned around and ran back, but he Just under five meters, the ball has rolled from the four meters to the half of the German team.


    McManaman started from the sideline to the middle. Cole''s pass was also an empty pass over there. Harman did not dare to come to the top and McManaman went directly to the middle and led the ball into the drive.


    Irving, Scholes, McManaman, all three arrows!


    Faced with Bayern Munich 3 defenders plus 1 midfielder defense.


    McManaman finally came to Harman in front of the penalty area. He did not make a breakthrough and passed the ball to Owen. When Owen launched this counterattack, he thought about what he should do.


    On the first day of Aldridge''s coaching, he remembered the request to him: pass a ball!


    Just a kick!


    Irving turned his back to the penalty area to face McManaman''s pass and made a cross-footed pass to Scholes in a parallel position. After the ball was thrown, Irving immediately turned around and Link originally rushed up to mark Irving. , Irving turned to recoil behind him, Scholes kept passing the ball behind Link, Irving succeeded in an offside offside, while McManaman diagonally inserted the rib of the penalty area after the ball was made, which formed against the German defender. Interference and containment.


    Irving turned offside to face the ball passed by Scholes, and the landing point was excellent. He didn''t need to stop the ball to adjust. The ball facing the drop was a volley!


    boom!


    The ball hits the net!


    Kahn was unable to return to the sky. The two lost goals were about 12 yards from the penalty spot to the goal line. The opponent''s shot was impeccable, angled, powerful, and God was difficult to stop!


    "England will go to the next city! Irving defeated Kahn by volleying in the penalty area! 2-0, England led 2-0 away from Germany. Who would have expected the game to develop like this before the game? The panic that might have missed the World Cup before is completely gone! Now England are very hopeful to directly advance to the World Cup finals as the top of the group!"


    The wind chasing boy galloped on the land of Munich, and his teammates rushed over to surround Owen and issued a roar of the Three Lions to the sky!


    Aldridge closed his eyes and nodded. This process of scoring was appreciated by Aldridge.


    England''s counterattack brought the player''s characteristics and advantages to the extreme.


    McManaman''s ball control dribbling, Scholes'' pass, Owen''s running position and shooting, counterattack hitting speed, players cooperate with the running position tacitly.


    This year''s effort has not been in vain!


    Klinsmann and Jenson have already started to discuss the problems of the German team.


    "4 defense 3, actually penetrated by a wave of constant attack, what is the German team''s defense doing!"


    Klinsmann whispered that the golden bomber that once thrived in the German team felt incredible about the German team''s performance today.


    "The German team is sticking to traditions, but unfortunately there is no Beckenbauer, Matteus, and Summer in the contemporary era. Like the offensive scene just now, Millwall played frequently when he played Bayern Munich in Munich three years ago, but The key figure in defending Bayern¡¯s Munich defense is Mattus, the defensive player. The key is a choice between the electric and flint. Link is defending, but I didn¡¯t expect Irving to pass the ball. When Irving turned to start running, In addition to the foul, Link absolutely cannot block Irving. Nowotny and Warnes were inserted by McManaman and attracted attention. For a time, there was no division of troops to fill the position. When the reaction came, it was late. This is actually Instinctive choices, world-class and first-class, first-class and second-class, the gap is sometimes not simply technical ability, and the gap in body consciousness cannot be compensated for after a hundred years of practice."


    Jenson has the most say in this regard. He was eliminated in the Ajax youth training system, not because of his poor skills, but on the contrary, it was a sense of competition.


    If you take part in the game on the court, you have to wait for your eyes to see it, think about it, make judgments and then take action, then the daylily is cold!


    How fast is a ball flying over? How much time? What is the contrast between offense and defense? This is to make the best choice in less than 1 second. Players have reached a certain level of strength, playing football is based on instinct consciousness. No! First-class players cannot be world-class, are they hard enough? No, maybe the gap in consciousness talents can never cross the gap in strength level.


    Klinsmann was silent for a while.


    To be honest, the German team is sticking to the tradition of success, that is the 352 formation.


    However, to this day, this 352 and the 352 that gloriously swept the world at that time have an essential difference, which stems from a point on the field, that is, the disappearance of the "free man".


    The German Emperor Beckenbauer defined the free man, and no one can surpass it from now on, but his mantle is still a successor. Somer can win the Golden Globe with the free man. Matteus has countless honors, and they all Helped the German team achieve success on the international stage.


    Look at the three guards on the field now, Link, Nowotny, Voines, Mo said that none of them have the standard strength of free men. Nowotny is still a little bit shadow, but want to have on the top stage As a result, after all, the strength is limited, and the central defender to judge their strength, world-class? Far from it! First class? Some are reluctant, and some are among the first-rate and second-rate.


    It is conceivable that the German team has fallen during this period.


    Aldridge thought a little further.


    The German team not only lacks a new generation of talents, but the tradition of 352 is about to reach the end. Many people say that Germany is brilliant in 2002 and won the runner-up in the World Cup. In fact, that is a failure in the eyes of the Germans. Otherwise, the German team will not After 02 years, he abandoned 352, which persisted for decades, and changed to 442. Afterwards, no one would recover with 352.


    The year 2002 was a time node for German football, symbolizing the end of an era, because they endured a lot of outstanding qualities that once made German football brilliant, and buried 352 completely into the long history of history, turning to the next big era Brilliant re-lay the foundation and return to the top of the world in 12 years!


    Aldridge felt lucky, but also made him sigh.


    Fortunately, now coaching England, encountering the fallen king, the lowest period of German football, the old era dynasty about to enter the grave.


    Sigh, he has no chance to challenge the infamous 352 peak German football.


    Eleven years ago, Beckenbauer''s bold words were still in his ears.


    "The only trouble we have now is no trouble!"


    Enough to see how domineering German football was at the time.


    The German team fell behind by two goals, and there was no other way out at this time, because the last round was tied by Greece, and the goal difference between them and England also fell into the disadvantage. England now has 16 goal difference goals. , The German team, the difference is almost 10!


    Can''t equalize the score, lose a few, the practical significance has little effect, nothing more than a facial problem.


    In fact, this is a game where the influencing factors are complicated and the game development situation is reversed.


    England''s paper strength is slightly stronger, the German team has a home advantage, it can be said to be 55, then it is reasonable for both sides to maintain a balanced attack and defense.


    But England played anti-anti, the German team also cooperated with the main attack, making England more dominant in strategic height!


    The pride of the German team, engagement record, home advantage and other factors make them have to attack, while England, as the stronger side, fights back, and the German team¡¯s nightmare does not change the tactics and attitude of the game. Can''t end.

 Chapter 669： New Era

    At the Munich Olympic Stadium, the German fans in the stands were overwhelmed, as if they didn''t believe the scene in front of them, like in a dream.


    Today it seems that the German team played very badly!


    The England team, like a new team, is so daunting!


    The reason is not complicated. The German team was not skilled in this period. Like Schneider, looking at Europe, it was just a first-class player, but his technical ability was among the best in the German team. The German team did not discuss technology alone. The ability to impact world-class players, Deisler has talent potential, but in the end it has not yet turned into strength, and then in terms of organization, Barack has the organizational ability, Deissler also has, at best it is only first-class, Barack is strong in comprehensive Sex, like Lampard and Gerrard players, everything is possible, but none of them are absolutely top-notch.


    England played anti-anti, with more defense and less compression of the backcourt space, the German team could not play a subtle cooperation in the position, the organization lacked creativity, and players such as Neuville, Yankel, and Desler did not have an unparalleled team tacit understanding. The German team relied on a simple offensive approach, it is difficult to shake the English defense.


    England itself does not have extraordinary creativity and technical players with a high single-pass victory rate, but they have the advantage that the German team does not have, or the advantage that the German team gives them: space.


    The offensive space is large, and the offensive speed and cooperation are relatively easy to play. When the German team does not have world-class players, their three-back system is full of loopholes.


    One sentence that the critics of the future often hold in their mouths is: To play the three-guard system, you must have three world-class guards!


    Not even one!


    Schneider is probably the best player in the German team to know the strength of the game.


    The German team played three guards. In Millwall, Schneider personally experienced Audridge''s tactical deployment against the three-back system. AC Milan has a top guard such as Maldini and Costa Kuta. Still, Millwall The line of defense was riddled with holes.


    Knowing that the German team is the main attacker, as a wing player, he must press up to attack, otherwise, the German team''s right side will be completely paralyzed, but the empty behind, that line of defense is really frightening.


    In the 44th minute of the first half, Deisler took the ball at the back of the midfield, but Bart defended, Deisler could not form a turn, saw Beckham sticking to Barak, Neville blocked Bomei side, Deisler In a hurry, the ball passed to Schneider''s side.


    Schneider shouted in his heart, accelerated to rush to get the ball, Desler''s pass from the foot was seen through, Lampard''s position was better, he took the first step to break the ball in front of Schneider, Schneider just stopped In the car, Lampard passed the ball behind him.


    Ashley Cole swiftly plugged in and retaliated on the side!


    Schneider shouted back at Barak while chasing back, "Follow Beckham!"


    As long as Barak followed Beckham, Schneider chased Ashley Cole, Harman stared at Scholes, the back three guards, McManaman and Irving, 3 defense 2, no problem Right! ?


    In the process of chasing Ashley Cole, Schneider found that Link moved to the full-back area to prepare to intercept Ashley Cole, and Schneider rushed directly to the left rib of the penalty area to fill the seat. There was a short time There will be free time between him. If he chases Cole, he will not be able to form an interception with Link before and after. Instead, he will be directly blocked by Cole, but he will make up the spot and there is a certain chance of breaking Cole¡¯s midway. Ground pass.


    However, Ashley Cole chose to make a cross in the 45-degree position on the wing, giving Link no one-on-one defense at all.


    Scholes, Owen and McManaman lined up in parallel to the penalty area. Ashley Cole''s foot pass is definitely super-level play!


    The landing point is behind the defender line, but there is a certain distance from the goalkeeper. It is most suitable for the offensive player to sprint and grab a spot.


    The German team''s defense line quickly withdrew, and Harman even turned around to chase back. At the critical moment, Kahn predicted accurately, he abandoned the door!


    If he doesn''t make it, Irving in the middle may get another shot.


    But Kahn was far away from the landing point. After rushing out, he shot the ball out of the penalty area by jumping forward and hitting the ball with a limit distance.


    The ball flying out of the penalty area flew over Barak''s head, and he was screamed.


    A few seconds ago, Schneider''s shout to him seemed to reappear.


    Follow Beckham!


    He kept following Beckham in the halftime, but when Ashley Cole crossed, he rushed directly to the top of the arc in the penalty area. He was worried that the England team would go back to the ball, in case Scole. Sri Lanka pulled out again, and this area is not fortified!


    Beckham, I lost it!


    Barak looked back. Beckham stopped the ball. His pupils shrunk and watched Beckham swing two feet away.


    Forty yards from the goal!


    Kahn fell to the ground after hitting the ball in the penalty area, but he climbed up for the first time. During the run back to the goal, the ball crossed the sky, and the parabolic trajectory flew over quickly. Kahn struggled Jumping to save with one hand, but just struggling to die, he couldn''t touch the ball at all.


    Beckham, forty yards away, the super hanging shot reappears!


    The stands of the German fans were silent, while the English fans waved the cross flag again and went crazy!


    "David Beckham! Super long-range goal! At 3:0, the England team went crazy! Completely crazy! The first half is not over yet, England leads the German team at 3:0 away! No one would expect By the time the game was actually one-sided, no one would think, even if the English have the determination to win, but they dare not imagine that they can score three goals for the German team before the game, and now they have not lost a goal, Germany The team¡¯s offense looks threatening, with sporadic long shots that can¡¯t even touch the edge of the goal!"


    Beckham laughed and ran his arms, and he and his teammates had similar expressions: incredible, ecstatic!


    They dare not think about it, they can destroy the German team to this point on the road!


    Schneider saw the goal was pierced again, and was scored by Beckham, his expression was blank.


    The German team''s 352, like the Dutch''s full attack and defense, has extremely high demands on the player''s ability.


    The German team at this stage can''t afford 352 at all.


    He has no complaints against his teammates. He feels that his performance today is also very bad, or that, in such a demanding tactical system, he also fails to meet the strength requirements.


    352, Schneider is a member of the right midfield, attacking, he wants to go up, defend, he wants to go back, one side, almost one person.


    Facing England''s targeted fight and defense, Schneider knows that he can only take care of both ends of his offense and defense. He can''t eat all the offense and defense, he can''t do it, and he can do it on the other side. No, how many people in this world can do it?


    If it can be done, it must be world-class!


    In such a place where the German team can talk about seniority, Schneider is only 28 years old before he can sit on the main force. He is not qualified to tactical tactics on the team, he has no right to evaluate the head coach''s platoon formation, and private discussion is not good. This is also regarded as the tradition of the German team. In addition to the farce of the German Football Association who has been criticized by the Football Association because of the bonus problem, the German team has often been in a "quiet" atmosphere.


    Waller looked at the dazzling score on the scoreboard, with the German team 0 and England 3 with the home team ahead.


    His expression was solemn and his thoughts were flying.


    If today the German team faced Millwall led by Aldridge, he would definitely let Schneider and Bermey honestly play the full-back, and the formation would become 532, or conservatively play 541.


    But the opponent is the England team. Before the game, he didn''t think how strong the England team who played a four-game winning streak. In theory, the strength is stronger. How to play, the probability of not being upset is very high.


    Aldridge is the two coaches of Millwall and England. Millwall has killed the German class boss Bayern Munich in the past two years. In terms of strength, Bayern Munich is stronger than the German national team because Bayern Munich also has Favorable for Zarazu, Elber, a player stronger than Germany¡¯s modern international team, the team¡¯s tacit understanding is certainly better than the club, but Millwall¡¯s playing Bayern Munich is not a reference, because Millwall¡¯s strength is also better than The England team is stronger and the player characteristics are very different.


    One year ago, at 1:0, and now at 0:3, Waller had to admit that Aldridge''s coaching ability played a huge role.


    At the end of the first half, Waller took the lead in entering the player''s channel. He had to think about the countermeasures. The game still has 45 minutes. The German team is at home. It is impossible to catch and give up? That''s not the character of the Germans. They didn''t give up two words in their football dictionary. Everything had to be decided after the game.


    In the cheers and applause of England fans, England players walked high into the player''s tunnel with their heads high. On the field in Munich, they already have a sense of exhilaration.


    After the players walked back to the locker room, they saw Aldridge standing in front of the tactical board waiting for them.


    At this time everyone saw his eyes changed again.


    Serious, fanatical, and fascinating.


    Four times in a row, the players will be happy, maybe a little proud, but after calming down, they will understand that it doesn''t mean anything.


    In this powerful dialogue today, England scored a three-ball lead in 45 minutes, and the opportunity is huge. The advantage of this three-ball lead is by no means luck. If they are better luck, they may play Germany 5 in the first half. Pcs!


    Aldridge abandoned the traditional 442 of England, and now builds 4321. The whole team admires him with a five-body cast and firmly believes that England has entered a new era!


    "I am very pleased to see your performance in the first half. You have played the effect we have been pursuing in training. Good work!"


    Aldridge''s words just fell, and the team''s players were like Mu Chunfeng, excited.


    It''s too **** hard to get Aldridge a compliment!


    Hearing his praise now is like a shot of a cardiotonic agent, and his mentality is more excited.


    Even if Aldridge praised them, he didn''t show a half smile, because now is not the time to be happy.


    "The Germans are now thinking about how to save the defeat, and we haven''t come up with all the skills yet. In the second half, we have to surprise the opponent! They thought that England in the first half was the strongest England, they were wrong, they thought the first half The field is the limit of what we can do. They are wrong. They thought that on the German soil, England wanted to take away a draw. They were wrong! They are wrong! Listen to me, the second half, discard all utilitarian ideas, forget Score, take out the power of our training for one year and persevere in the pursuit of the field, all released! Do you understand?"


    Aldridge was not angry, saying something like a commander, the English team roared in the locker room: "I see!"

 Chapter 670： Extreme

    There were many problems exposed by the German team in the first half. The defense was not stable and the attack was not sharp. Even if Waller could see that there was a problem with the tactical framework, he could not make extreme changes in the short period of the intermission. The bigger the change in movement, the more chaos it might cause.


    England is playing shamelessly against the counter-attack, what is the German team''s move?


    No!


    The German team couldn''t make England change the attitude of the game and took the initiative to attack oppressively. They came to fight back. Now that the German team is three goals behind, they have no other choice but to attack, otherwise, raise their hands and surrender?


    Waller adjusted on both ends of the offensive and defensive. The three guards did not cooperate to defend the side. If they were attacked by England from the side again, while Schneider and Bermey of the side did not return, the three guards guarded the restricted area. After allowing the opponent to pass on the sideline, England does not have a high center. As long as it is not leaking, just stealing the header or intercepting the ground cross, the gap between the three guards of the German team will be very small.


    On the offensive end, Yankel retreated and attracted Bart from the frontline to ease Desler''s pressure.


    Waller thought that such an adjustment would improve the quality of attack and defense, but at the beginning of the second half, less than 5 minutes later, England gave the German team a heavy blow.


    Ballack took the ball forward in the midfield, Scholes strangled him, and had to play the ball, Ballack passed the ball to the side of Bomei, Bomei just received the ball, not only Beckham snatched close, McManaman also came to help, Beckham squeezed and squeezed Bomei reasonably, McManaman broke the ball and turned the ball, after turning around, it was a diagonal pass, Scholes from Barak turned around and rushed forward, and Barak turned again, as if a slow shot, but still chasing.


    Who knows that Scholes took a step to stop the ball and it was a straight kick. The ball passed between Warnes and Nowotny. Irving had already started the first step. Warnes raised his hand and signaled that the other side was offside. The deceased ran along the sideline to the German team''s restricted area, and the flag in his hand had not been raised.


    The chasing boy took the ball and strode the ball into the penalty area. Before Kahn attacked, it was a volley. The ball was drilled into the dead corner of the far corner of the goal and hit the inside of the goal post and bounced into the goal.


    "Owen scored twice! The England team created Owen''s single-handed pass through a two-foot pass after a successful midfield steal! The speed is so fast that people can''t respond. England today is simply a counterattack!"


    Waller was expressionless, bowing his head slightly to recall the formation of the England team after the start of the second half.


    There have been changes!


    Schneider stood staring at his door, and even Kahn was frustrated.


    He would love to tell his teammates that England''s tactics have changed in the second and first half.


    The first half was a pure counterattack. After the German team pressed the offensive formation, it created a large space for counterattack, and then quickly pushed through the German team''s defense.


    In the second half, the England team moved forward in the backcourt, compressing the midfield space, taking a crazy on-the-spot grab, and immediately launched a counterattack after a successful steal. Basically, the ball was successfully intercepted to the forefront of the attack, within 3 seconds.


    McManaman''s pass just now, Scholes'' pass, may be 2 seconds.


    Schneider smiled bitterly in his heart, wondering if it was God''s will.


    The adjustment of Waller¡¯s midfield, but in line with England¡¯s intentions, Yankel retreated, a striker on the front line, strengthened the organization and cooperation of the midfield, but the German team wanted to play in the case of England compressing the midfield crazy and rushing. It is really difficult to cooperate with one consecutive shot. To deal with the English tactics of snatching, not only must the ball be calm, but also to be decisive and swift. To put it bluntly, it means playing fast. The ball is faster, especially the transfer of the ball, and quickly away from the opponent''s key area, which can advance the attack to the forefront. There is also an easiest way to play directly behind the opponent''s back line. The area there is higher than the previous one. Halftime has expanded a lot.


    0: 4!


    On the England coach seat, the members of the coaching staff are crazy. In addition to Klinsmann''s celebration is more restrained, Jenson rushed directly to embrace Aldridge after Owen scored twice, with a smile.


    Aldridge smiled slightly restrained, but felt more proud.


    In England, another magic weapon came out in the second half.


    The counterattack is counterattack. The counterattack can be launched from the goalkeeper position, while the crazy push is to focus on the midfield and limit the opponent''s offensive organization. On this basis, with a mature and tacit counterattack, the power is even greater!


    Many people have criticized England for being engineered.


    This is true and true.


    Aldrich has never complained about this, even if he once regretted that like a small Redknapp was destroyed by an injury and that England lacked a useful person in this period, but the reality is reality, you must accept .


    Complaining has no positive meaning other than negative effects.


    But engineers also have the usefulness of engineers, and they are equally powerful when used well.


    The world of football is the same in both directions, and existence is reasonable.


    Since engineer players can play for top teams, they naturally have their own advantages.


    How can it be said that it is completely useless due to its abundant physical strength, wide range of activities, and certain defensive confrontation ability?


    To make England play an artistic sense, players can turn into Mozart, Aldridge can not do it.


    But all he can do is to avoid weaknesses. Although the 4321 has a congenital deficiency, that is, the inability to attack, it may be possible to use the power of defensive counterattack to the extreme. Aldrich is also satisfied. The offense is indestructible and the defense is a solid team.


    The Dutch all-attack and all-defense pursuit is such a pinnacle, but that is too idealized. Think about it. If you are serious, reality will teach you to be a new person.


    Today, on the stadium stands is the German football emperor Beckenbauer, who is surrounded by Bayern Munich coach Hessfield.


    This was originally the home of Bayern, and Beckenbauer''s position in German football, it is normal for him to appear here to watch this British-German war.


    Witnessing the German team losing four goals, Heathfield looked as usual, but he was thinking: if Aldridge led Millwall to use the same tactics as England, on the club¡¯s court, there is another team in the world that dares to Did Millwall attack in front of him?


    You can''t say that England played trivially, because they didn''t shrink the penalty area even in the first half of the scene, but England''s ability to catch opponents'' offensive and defensive conversion flaws has been small.


    If Millwall played this way, Henry with a stronger and more comprehensive frontline, Ronaldinho who played in the middle of a wide range, and Larson, who has a super fast end ability, Millwall can make football very simple. It became a boring game where the opponent didn''t dare to attack.


    The opponents in the Premier League are looking for a balance point, so that the defense line will not become fragile and have a certain counterattack ability. They come to catch Millwall¡¯s counterattack. Occasionally, the team did succeed, but Millwall did Will quickly make up for the shortcomings, the entire European football, there is still no set of technical and tactical systems that can be limited to deal with Millwall.


    Hessfield was so excited that he was inspired by this game.


    Aldridge, Wizards!


    Beckenbauer saw Heathfield''s thoughtful look and asked, "What are you thinking?"


    Hessfield told what he thought.


    "I think Hall has solved a difficult problem that all European giants are studying. That is how to deal with Millwall. The technical and tactical system in England is the best way to restrain Millwall!"


    Speaking of which, Heathfield smiled self-deprecatingly.


    Aldridge has created the most extreme two tactics on two different teams!


    In fact, he said that restraining Millwall is slightly exaggerated, but compared to other tactical systems such as 442,352, this 4321 of the England team does have a fight with Millwall''s 433.


    Beckenbauer raised his chin for a long while before nodding slightly.


    4321 is just a number, the key is what type of players.


    Just like Capello¡¯s Real Madrid also played 4321, Real Madrid¡¯s 4321 architecture is very different from England¡¯s 4321. The more crucial point is the 2 midfielder. Real Madrid uses Raul and Mijato. Vicky, England uses Scholes and McManaman. Scholes¡¯ defensive ability is not possessed by Real Madrid. It is also because of Scholes¡¯ defensive ability that the English team can form. McManaman also has a certain defensive ability in the crazy push of the field area.


    Like Italy, 4321 has also been popular, but the three of 21 are basically composed of heavily offensive players. Relying on the defense of the midfield line and the back line, they cannot form a front-to-back envelop on the midfield line.


    Beckenbauer sighed softly, saying: "But this set of tactics also has a lot of limitations. There are very few giants in the world that will allow coaches to use such tactics. Aldrich Hall certainly knows this, so he was in Mill Wall will not dominate such tactics, even if such a play can further increase the probability of an invincible position."


    Heathfield''s expression was dumbfounded, and suddenly he realized.


    The fans of the giants have very high requirements for the viewing of the game. If this set of tactics is a tough battle, it will be very ugly. Since a certain offensive creativity has been sacrificed, and the engineer-type players have been selected, then the appreciation of the battle in the position is Will be greatly discounted.


    With this thought, Heathfield''s respect for Aldridge is deeper.


    Aldridge did not get selected in the England national team, the players were like that. He finally created such a tactic according to his aptitude, which can be described as tapping the potential to inspire the team''s strength to the limit.


    Beckenbauer couldn''t bear to watch the German team slaughtered again, got up and left.


    "Stop watching?"


    "The German team lost, played ten more games, and maybe lost nine games."


    Beckenbauer left this sentence before leaving, and Hessfield was startled.


    The words of Bei Huang almost confirmed that the German team in this period is difficult to place high hopes on, and it will trigger a deeper reflection and reform of German football.


    How long does it take to train a generation of talent? Four years, eight years? The German team is not only lack of talents, but its technical and tactical approach has also reached a dead end.


    The free-spirited role of the free man has no successors!


    Beckenbauer''s heart is a little sad. If today''s German team does not say that there are free men of his level when he was young, even if Matteus, free men like Samer who have easily entered the opponent''s penalty zone, no one can kill deer. Certainly.


    Defend, stifle threats, attack, provide unexpected points of attack.


    The top free men are everywhere on the court, with great prestige!


    If there is no free man, what is different about the German team''s 352? On the contrary, the defense is full of mistakes and the offense has no bright spots.


    There is no seed for the next generation of free men in German football. Beckenbauer did not find it anyway, and the club is unlikely to insist on the use of 352 in order to take the risk of training a person. Realistic interests, risks, record pressure, etc., to train such geniuses The soil requirements are too high, it is necessary to train the whole team.

 Chapter 671： mission

    What happened at the Munich Olympic Stadium was a nightmare for German fans!


    In the 62nd minute, Schneider saw the right time on the wing and got rid of the pressure from Lampard. Without giving the opponent a chance to get close again, he hit the ball with a pin.


    The ball flew diagonally over Southgate''s head, he was startled, and he was relieved when he turned to chase the ball for the landing.


    There is no German player who counters offside to catch up.


    German fans in the stands said they didn''t understand. Players like Schneider, who are the most technically capable in today''s German formation, would actually pass such a purposeless ball, wasting the offensive opportunity in vain and losing the ball.


    However, he did not know that the ball surprised Audridge and the defender Southgate.


    In England¡¯s crazy rush, the distance between the midfield line and the defender line must be maintained, then the distance between the defender line and the goal will be lengthened. The most fearful thing is to play the pass behind the defender, especially the diagonal pass. Passing the ball diagonally, the striker who counter-offsides the ball is a single-handed pass.


    It¡¯s not that Schneider didn¡¯t pass well, if the German team had a Henry, Owen, Shevchenko, Larsen, Inzaghi... even Klose on the German bench today, maybe this ball Development is a one-on-one striker and goalkeeper.


    However, after Schneider passed the ball and did not see Neuville''s running position, he silently turned and walked towards the backcourt.


    Waller began to make substitutions, let Klose play, replaced Yankel, he found that Yankel almost disappeared in the second half, because the German team''s ball is difficult to pass to Yankel''s feet.


    After Klose played, Aldridge also gestured to the players, forcing the focus to move to Schneider''s side.


    Bo Mei on the other side has completely lost confidence. Today is not destined to be a day he wants to remember. Not only does the attack have no achievements, but also the mistakes that led to the team losing the ball after being intercepted.


    Bomei''s attack was paralyzed on this side, Beckham could assist Bart more in defending the middle, and Neville also had room to defend.


    Barak and Schneider are all trying to cooperate with Klose, threatening the pass is relatively simple and straightforward, just behind the defender, Klose went to the offside, but the pressure on the English defender line is not too much. Next, Neville''s supplementary defense is crucial. Southgate also raised his vigilance. Ashley Cole and Lampard went even more determined to force Schneider.


    In the 74th minute, England once again succeeded in counter-robbing. This time it was Barak who passed the ball and was intercepted by Bart in front of Deisler. Then Bart handed the ball to Beckham, who directly made a long pass from the high ball.


    The ball hit the German team''s backcourt, Owen backed the ball to copy the first half goal, but this time he knocked to McManaman, McManaman took the ball from the left to the right front, Owen Then they ran from right to left, and there was a misaligned cross on the route between the two, which made the German team''s rear defense line confused. McManaman passed the ball in front of Harman. The ball passed through Harman''s crotch and rolled directly from the middle of the defense line. Entering the penalty area, Owen almost ran an S-shape and got the ball in the penalty area, facing Kahn!


    When Kahn abandoned the goal, Irving pushed the goal to the bottom left corner.


    "5:0! 5:0! My God! 5:0! The England team leads the German team 5:0 on the road! Irving staged a hat trick. This will be a game that goes down in history, Irving, this field Hero, this game will never forget this game!"


    Owen rushed to the side and lay on the turf, and his teammates rushed over and pressed on him...


    Waller''s face was extremely ugly at the moment.


    He has no idea how to describe the German defender line.


    England''s quick counterattack was simply fascinating!


    You don¡¯t have any reaction time.


    The position of Barack was originally a defensive task, but England did not give him time to return to defense. When he ran to the front of the penalty area, the ball was already scored.


    Quickly ruthless! Killed in one blow!


    Waller had to admit his fate.


    The space for the offensive players in England to arbitrarily bring the ball, the activity space of the top shooter such as Irving, together, the German team can''t stop it!


    After all, it is still necessary to limit the opponent''s offensive space, and space is the main factor that breeds change.


    Waller replaced the disappointing Deisler with newcomer Kyle and replaced Bomei with Asamoah. At this time, the German team''s military heart has fallen to the bottom.


    0: 5!


    It is just that this score is enough to be included in the record of the German team''s number one defeat in the past three decades!


    Live England fans, commentators, countless fans watching the game in British local bars, homes and other places are cheering, and the bars on the Thames are already reveling.


    Today''s battle has greatly boosted morale and almost made countless English people dream of returning to the age of legend that they have never seen before!


    At the beginning of the last century, England wrote many records of the national team''s disastrous defeat, and some of them have been retained to this day.


    For example, the record of the German team¡¯s disastrous defeat was made in England.


    0:9!


    England 7:1 Spain, 12:2 Netherlands, 11:2 Belgium, 10:0 Portugal... Records like 13:1 Ireland are also everywhere.


    In the ancient times of football, England, as the originator of modern football, prestige is not just by mouth.


    Today''s blood-washing of Germany away is destined to go down in history. It is destined to be a milestone for Aldridge to lead England to declare the World Cup next year!


    The German team strengthened their defense and did not want to lose the ball again, but the England team was in full swing. As long as the opponent''s attack was frustrated, he immediately launched a counterattack on the spot.


    The England internationals on the field are so hungry!


    To be able to defeat opponents like Germany, a sense of satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment can not be achieved with a hundred games.


    Obviously when the critical point of physical fitness is reached, the English players are still full of momentum!


    On the other hand, Germany suffered heavy losses, but at this time, the situation of physical fitness fell. But they strengthened their defense. The threat of England''s counterattack was greatly reduced at once, and the German players frantically used fouls to block England''s attack.


    In fact, as long as they step by step limit England''s offensive space, England''s counterattack is difficult to make any difference, but now they do not have such a calm mind.


    Fear, fear of losing the ball!


    In the 86th minute, England received a 27-yard free kick from the goal. Beckham stood in front of the ball and prepared to take the penalty. The German team returned to the defense.


    Beckham hit a free kick with a free kick and hit the wall. Scholes shot a long shot against the rebounded ball. The ball rushed through the gap between the people. Kahn was blocked from sight when he saw the ball It was too late to save again and the ball rolled into the goal from the bottom right corner.


    Kahn picked up the ball and drove out with big feet.


    Damn it!


    He made 8 successful saves, all of which should be thrown out, but still let the opponent score 6 goals, some are really helpless, some are strangely tricky.


    In this battle, England seemed to fight Kahn from **** to man!


    "Sixth goal! England''s sixth goal! 0:6! An incredible game!"


    Aldridge stood on the sidelines with hands in his hands and a charming smile on the corner of his mouth.


    He suddenly thought in his heart: Eriksson can lead England to win Germany 5:1 here, and I can win 6:0!


    German fans have a blank expression on the stands, and some eyes are dull. They still think that everything in front of them is fake. When will this nightmare wake up?


    At the end of the whistle at the end of the game, Aldridge waved his fist to the sky with his right hand, and shouted arrogantly in his mouth.


    "Yeah!"


    It wasn''t until this moment that he showed the ecstatic expression that seemed more tentative, as if his teeth were extremely cold, covered with German blood.


    "In World Preliminaries Group I, the German team took home the seventh round of the group match between England and England. The England team unexpectedly washed away the German team with a 6-0 score on the road. Now they hold 16 points and the German team loses. After the ball is still 14 points, in the goal difference, the England team is 20, the German team is obviously unable to catch up, so in the final round, as long as the England team does not lose to Greece at home, they will directly qualify for the first place in the group next year. World Cup! The German team has also firmly locked in the second group, but they are now ready to face the World Cup preliminary play-off at the end of the year. I hope this defeat will not have a continuous negative impact on the German team. The time is not far away. If there is a loss, the German team will miss the World Cup again for more than half a century. They will miss the World Cup for the first time after the war. I hope they will adjust it as soon as possible. There may not be much discussion after this game. Meaning, the score of 6:0 is special, and the German team also has a main force that cannot appear, such as Jeremys and Sauer. The team problem must exist, I hope they can solve it as soon as possible."


    Aldridge turned around and walked towards Waller after the roar, and there was already a field-side camera aimed at him. As he moved, he shot all the way.


    Shaking hands with Nol and nodding, Aldridge turned and walked into the stadium.


    After a nightmare, the German team player left the stadium in a lost heart. Aldrich looked at Schneider and the other side stood alone. Aldridge walked over and said to him: "Today you worked hard, but football It¡¯s a team sport."


    Schneider looked up at the sky and said, "Boss, I will be 28 years old now."


    Aldridge nodded and understood what he meant.


    It can only be said that Schneider did not catch up with a good era in Germany. In the early ten years and late ten years, with his technical ability, he did not dare to say that he is the main force in the German national team, but it is definitely a member that cannot be ignored.


    By the way, he was in the dark age of German football, and his age is precisely the golden age of players.


    "In the past few years, I suddenly had an idea. Maybe everyone has their own mission. They should bravely face the mission and shoulder it. Perhaps, this is just a kind of self-implication to force yourself, but I hope you can think so. "


    Aldrich said he shot Schneider''s shoulder.


    The heroes of the golden age are famous for their youth, and the dark age also requires someone to shoulder the heavy responsibility.


    After listening to Aldridge''s remarks, Schneider smiled.


    Indeed, I feel more comfortable.


    The players of the England team celebrated wildly on this stadium. Many people took off their jerseys and showed strong upper bodies with beautiful lines. They gathered together to high-five each other, hug, and talk about the parts of the game that made them proud.


    When Aldridge came, they turned around and saw Aldrich pointing at them and shouting: "Why can''t you have such performance in every game? Why? Go back and understand this question! We Not weak, we are strong, we can win all the time, and there is another game, we are going to the World Cup! Are you ready?"


    The players grinned and said in unison: "Yeah!"


    Now their spirits are rejuvenated and their temperament is completely different from the past.


    Aldridge smiled, hugged each player, and then turned back. The players who took off their upper body jerseys followed him and left the German court with a high heart.


    The photojournalist photographed this scene from all angles. After England won an epic victory, the team''s spirit was sublimated. They are confident, united, trust each other, and full of ambition for the future!


    And the man who walks in the forefront, the young handsome man in a suit and leather shoes with a hand in his pocket and a light mouth, has become the most popular coach in England!

 Chapter 672： Shape the spirit

    Before Aldridge took over as the England national team coach, the English fans'' support for him to take over the national team was very high. The data from the media survey was that more than 93% of the English fans supported Aldridge as the national team.


    However, the most popular coach selection in the same period, Aldridge ranked second, the first is Bobby Robson, the gap between the two is also relatively large, Robson has 30% of the votes, Aldridge Only 18%.


    There is a big difference between these two selections.


    Supporting Aldridge to coach the national team, in the opinion of local fans, this is the best choice, and there is no point in contact with Aldridge whether it is popular.


    Just like when Florentino entered Real Madrid on the second floor, in fact many Real Madrid members did not like him, but under the circumstances at the time, Florentino was the best choice for members, even if they were Tino''s first-stage superstar policy was "harmed".


    There are many reasons why British local fans do not like Aldridge. For example, the highest proportion of local fans must be the traditional three giants plus Millwall, as well as those veteran powerhouses, Aldridge led Millwall to cause them numerous injuries. Pain, even if it is not the relationship between the biggest competitor and the dead enemy, Liverpool fans who are not content, can not forget that Aldridge has ravaged their beloved team again and again in Anfield.


    Those who like Aldridge are mostly neutral fans, and there are team fans who have no competition with Millwall at all. In the hearts of fans of many small clubs, they actually hope that their own club can also have an Aldridge. , Leading their small team to rise in England like leading the Lions.


    As Aldridge led the national team''s record all the way up, the World Preliminaries climbed from the penultimate ladder to the top of the group, and the goal difference was changed from a negative number to 20! For the first time in the official game, the German team was defeated in Germany. After this British-German war, the popularity of Aldridge soared again!


    Many big fans have also begun to like him. This kind of love goes beyond the hatred between the clubs, leaving aside a certain level of influence.


    Just like Bailey''s thousand-ball record tipping point, his opponent''s fans will cheer for Bailey in the stands, and even when their players ruin Bailey''s goal, fans will complain about their support for the team''s players.


    It''s nice to say that this is a sublimation that loves emotions.


    The reality is to be convinced by the strong.


    The psychology of advocating the strong is the rule of humanity, or the immutability of nature.


    When Aldridge attended the post-match press conference, journalists from the German media were ashamed.


    All in all, today''s football news in the German media is mocking England''s coach and Fleet Street yesterday''s farce.


    The far-fetched use of infighting to explain, also incidentally hyped the power of German football.


    This is not their shamelessness, it is the coach of the others who said so!


    After the Great Britain-Germany War ended, the German media was completely ignorant.


    I didn''t know how to manage myself for a while.


    Fleet Street was ecstatic. When Aldridge appeared at the press conference, many British journalists applauded and welcomed him.


    "Mr. Hall, yesterday you said that German football is very strong, and there is a gap between English football and German football. Is that speech a psychological battle? Let the German team underestimate the enemy? Smoke bombs? Confuse the opponent?"


    As soon as Aldridge sat down, the Fleet Street reporter asked questions with a smile.


    These Fleet Street reporters smiled, and in their words, their expressions were no longer as serious as they were against Aldridge yesterday. On the contrary, they thought they were being played!


    But he was very happy to be played by Aldridge!


    Bad boy, was it acting yesterday?


    They forgot that Aldridge always used psychological warfare when he coached Millwall, and thought that this kid had converged on the position of national team coach. Unexpectedly, the time was not up.


    In the eyes of the reporters, everything Aldridge said yesterday was to serve the victory, let the Germans underestimate the enemy, let the Germans take the initiative to attack at home with the pride of the strong, and then England cut the vegetables to clean up the German team. Too.


    Aldridge laughed at the reporter¡¯s question.


    He shook his head and said sincerely: "What I said yesterday is my real idea. Even if you ask me now, I will still say that German football is stronger."


    "England just beat Germany 6-0 away!"


    "If football is a strong winner, what fun is there in this sport?"


    "Then where is the German team?"


    "Will and determination, the German Football Association has formulated plans for the future development of the German team, from the reconstruction of the Bayern Munich youth training system to the long-term construction of the entire German football. I think this is the reason why the German team can last forever in the world football. "


    "What you said is too far from reality."


    "Far? I don''t think so. On the contrary, the media always pay attention to the present, but ignore the long-term. When the Millwall youth team showed Ronaldinho, Alonso, Villa and so on, you Never paid attention, when one day they suddenly broke out on the court, you asked why Millwall would succeed, I think it¡¯s funny. As far as I understand, it¡¯s just Bayern Munich¡¯s youth team that has a new one A lot of very good young players are being trained, and England¡¯s long-term foundation for construction has fallen behind Germany, and talents have emerged, and the survival space is far behind Germany. England won today, but comprehensive football strength, England is still not as good ."


    "Mr. Hall, don''t you think your statement is contradictory?"


    "Contradiction? No, it''s your interpretation of victory is too one-sided. Millwall lost to Everton last season and was broken undefeated gold body, and then? No one would say Everton is stronger than Millwall !Football is not a sport that lived in the past, nor is football a sport that can summarize all. If the England team thinks that it has won six goals in Germany today, our strength will leave Germany far behind. This idea is simply It¡¯s naive and ridiculous. If we want to make progress, we must first recognize ourselves and our position all the time. When it comes to the game itself, the German team is not the strongest team today. The German team is limited by our success today. We have played beyond the standard. Strength, because the England team is more eager to win than the German team. Today, within 90 minutes of this game, we have shown the determination and will to be stronger than the other party, so we have to recognize the reality more, in order to win, keep This kind of hunger, maintaining this kind of fighting spirit, team spirit, does not allow ourselves to have a trace of slack, and put all our attention on football. We can succeed, but it needs to pay a lot, it is not easy to do. of."


    The reporters on Fleet Street are depressed again!


    Handsome, you **** will die!


    It is here to humiliate the German team that will die!


    Reporter, I want the latest news.


    What''s more, after this game, the British local fans must be excited and excited, who would like to consume their newspaper and then turn it over: Audridge believes that there is still a gap between England and Germany.


    Journalists are reluctant to write this kind of article against enthusiasm.


    The Germans, known for their rigor, paid tribute to Audridge.


    And there is a real fear in my heart.


    On the football field, it is normal to lose or win. What happens in 90 minutes? Does strength determine everything? Certainly not.


    Even if the German team wins, the German media will find out the problems exposed by the German team in the game and criticize them. What is the purpose? Challenging the crowd? No, of course, to keep improving for the German team!


    The England team won today, and the German team was cleansed away. If Aldridge humiliates the German team unintentionally after the game, the German media will attack him with anger, but there will always be the idea of ??looking down on the England team.


    After winning the ball, he was stunned by the victory. How could such an opponent be afraid?


    But Aldridge was extremely calm. In his speech, he affirmed the performance of the England players and pointed out the factors of success. Encouragement, and at the same time, it implied a warning that the England team should not be complacent.


    Deeper, it also points out the essence of the gap between English football and German football.


    Can such an opponent be scary?


    Winning you today is nothing. How can we build an advantage in the long run, this is the point.


    Fortunately, Aldridge is not the head of the FA, nor can he change the deformed structure of the English league. He is far-sighted but unable to put it into practice. The Premier League is not under the control of the FA, Aldridge said Those are just empty talk.


    German media reporters find it ridiculous.


    Before the game, the coach of England team "fighted" on Fleet Street. After the game, the two sides broke up.


    The English are so wonderful!


    Come to the German site, and play the protagonist on and off the court.


    When returning to London by plane, Aldridge was sitting behind the cabin alone. The excitement of the players was clear at a glance. He didn''t say anything. Anyway, there will be his post-game speech tomorrow. These will definitely be seen by the players.


    He had to restrain the team''s emotions and had to warn the players sparingly.


    This five-game winning streak may be nothing but top teams, but it may be the result of overconfidence and self-expansion in England.


    Because this is an immature team.


    In the original history, the England team won Germany 5-1 away, and a month later, they were directly led by Greece at the door of the house at the last minute before 2:1, relying on Beckham¡¯s shocking foot to turn the tide and put it in the other 90% top With a strong team, even if it''s a tie, who will play the game at home? And the previous game was still the background of blood feuding away!


    It''s not a question of strength, it''s not a question of skills and tactics, it''s a question of psychology, a question of spiritual temperament.


    Some are similar to the scene in the second year when Aldridge coached Millwall. When the momentum is like a rainbow, the team may show unforgettable emotions, thinking that they are crazy, and God can¡¯t stop it. In fact, when the opponent is calmer and more cautious To you, you will be poured into a pot of cold cold water.


    This is a critical stage. Whether it can shape the team''s strong spiritual temperament, with the tactical system executed by the England team, will have a great impact on the World Cup next year.


    Aldridge closed his eyes and rested his mind. He won two games in three decisive battles. The situation in England was reversed. In the final decisive battle, he took the lead. As long as he didn¡¯t make mistakes, the team¡¯s top spot would not be a problem.


    On the bright side, at least after defeating Germany, his authority in the England team reached its peak, and the players were convinced by him, which is much better than when he was helpless at Millwall.


    "Look forward to the World Cup."

 Chapter 673： The strength of the strong?

    England fans have begun to give too high expectations to the England team, but Aldridge is very low-key when he is the coach of the England national team.


    This is in sharp contrast to his identity as Millwall coach.


    "League champion? We have won three consecutive championships, why can''t we win four consecutive championships? In the Premier League, which team can cause us trouble? Sorry, I don''t see any obstacles that prevent us from progressing on the defending road."


    As soon as he returned to the club, Aldridge made a bold statement and regarded the other teams in the Premier League as nothing. When he faced the camera, his tone was light, but he showed a strong confidence in the young handsome.


    Throughout September, Millwall and Larsson and Ronaldinho were injured in the national team, and the red card suspension in the Southgate League was negatively affected. But in the fourth to eighth rounds, these five Premier League games, Millwall achieved a record of 4 wins and 1 draw. In the first stage of the Champions League group stage, away from Porto, he won the Portuguese Super League Porto at the Dragon Stadium. He also advanced smoothly in the League Cup.


    Throughout September, Millwall continued the good momentum since the start of the season.


    The league has 7 wins and 1 draw, with 22 points, topping the list.


    Leeds United 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, with 19 points, ranked second.


    Manchester United have 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, with 17 points, ranking third.


    Arsenal are 4 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, with 14 points, ranking fourth.


    "Leeds United looks promising to challenge the league champions this season, but they have not yet been tested by too many strong dialogues, winning Arsenal and losing to Millwall. If it is not due to schedule adjustment, they are likely to hit The best opening history in the top league in club history, that is, the eight-game victory, after losing to Millwall, they tied Bolton again, a team that is obviously not as good as their team. After adjustment, they next achieved four straight Victory. In view of the background and the psychological quality of the team, if Leeds United can achieve good results in the contest with Manchester United and Liverpool, then they are really likely to have fantasies about the championship."


    This is exactly why O''Reilly hates the FA. If the schedule is not adjusted, Leeds United is in full swing, and it is entirely possible to sit in the top position now! The negative impact of losing to Millwall directly led to the failure of the Premier League underdogs like Bolton at home.


    "Although Manchester United is only 5 points away from Millwall, Millwall''s opponents in September are not strong, Everton, Middlesbrough, Newcastle United, Derbyshire, Aston Villa, only Bobby Robson took away a point from Millwall, Manchester United performance looks more eye-catching, such a big score of 5:0, 5:3 played continuously, but it is worth noting that the league played 8 rounds, Manchester United 13 goals lost! Averaged more than 1.5 per game, this is by no means a defensive performance that a championship team should have, especially when Newcastle United defeated 4:3 and Tottenham scored 3 goals. Want to compete with Millwall, a team that has only lost three goals in the first eight rounds to compete for the league title? Stam''s departure has had a great impact on Manchester United''s defense. Ferguson may regret it at this time, but there is no way, he Can only rely on Brown, Blank, and even Gary Neville as the central defender to make up for the defense, if, if Manchester United really took the league title from Millwall, in addition to major problems within Millwall, I can''t think of any reason."


    After the start of the season, the tone of the championship returned to the past rhythm. Manchester United and Millwall defended the throne. Manchester United challenged the dominance of the mad lion. Although Leeds United temporarily ranked second, the outside world impacted their championship. The prospects are not optimistic, the league, the test is endurance, is a long battle, Leeds United is only a good start, nothing more. Arsenal followed, but it felt difficult to place high hopes on them. Liverpool, Chelsea and other teams, after eight rounds, Chelsea are 15 points from Millwall, Liverpool are 9 points from Millwall, they have withdrawn In order to compete for the crown.


    ...


    In October, the scenery in many parks in London was extremely beautiful. In the early morning, Aldridge and Ewen wore couples jogging in the park, the wind was blowing, and the orange leaves of the trees fell, which was particularly poetic.


    The two were jogging around a circular green area in the park. After about half an hour, the two sat down on a bench to rest.


    Yiwen wiped his sweat and said after the breath was stable: "Ms. Luo Lin sent an invitation to invite our family to attend the film premiere next month."


    Aldridge watched not far away. Burt and Earl were playing with a Labrador. That¡¯s a neighbor¡¯s pet dog. Please ask Aldridge to help out in the morning. The time in the community is not short. Derich has established rapport with many neighbors around him.


    In particular, social activities are held in the community, especially some parent-child activities. Children play together, and adults also have the opportunity to communicate.


    "Hey, Burt, don''t do that! Uncle Norton will be upset!"


    Aldridge shouted to Burt with a severe expression, the boy actually pressed the labrador''s body and tried to ride!


    When Burt heard his father criticize himself, he immediately fell on the cliff. He was not afraid of dogs, and he even wanted to play tricks on dogs. Such bad behavior was not good. Aldridge would correct his behavior the first time.


    Earl is more interested in dogs and can play happily together.


    Aldridge turned back and smiled at Yiwen: "Okay, let''s go to the movies together. Think about it, time passes so fast."


    "Ok?"


    "When I met Ms. Rowling, she... now, all her novels have been put on the screen, which is amazing."


    Aldridge was in a trance, and he was indeed filled with emotion.


    Being able to witness Ms. Rowling¡¯s success along the way is not only rare, but also makes him feel sincerely happy for his friends.


    Yi Wen also sincerely respected Ms. Luo Lin.


    "Your suitcase is ready and I have two more suits for you. The weather forecast says that Manchester will cool down in the next few days."


    Aldridge smiled and leaned in to kiss Ewen, then got up and took her hand to Burt and Earl, and went home together. After breakfast, Aldridge took a shower and changed his head and put on the suitcase Say goodbye to family.


    For him, the weird work schedule started again.


    This time, he will lead the team to the Carrington training base and Manchester United as the national team coach.


    A week from now, the final round of the World Championships between England and Greece will start at Old Trafford!


    The England team is gaining momentum, and the natural scenery in the homeland is infinite. Many internationals have gone to Manchester for training.


    Aldridge has temporarily become the protagonist of the Carrington base, which has also created the focus of public opinion. It is more concerned than Liverpool players such as Irving and Gerrard coming here for training.


    The England internationals have plenty of confidence and are serious and active in training. Aldridge is very satisfied with this.


    However, the day before the game began, he warned the players not to relax in the press conference.


    "A lot of people think that we have defeated Greece on the road, and now it is our turn to play at home. Greece will not cause us trouble. Such a view is very wrong! Greece has tied Germany, and Greece has a new coach. Starting to enter the construction of the next competition cycle, they did not have any expectations for the World Cup next year, and they did not have any desire in the qualifiers. However, the direction of their efforts now is the European Cup three years later, Rehagel is a An experienced and capable coach who despise him and his team will be punished!"


    Aldridge drove Fleet Street crazy!


    The young coach said that he was too low-key, but when he was coaching the club, he would make bold words and despise the Premier League.


    Say he''s crazy, but as long as it''s an England game, this thing feels like it''s awesome!


    The reporters looked at Aldridge tearfully.


    Let''s qualify for the tie!


    The opponent is Greece, a team we can beat away!


    The other party has no desire, no need, the other party is rebuilding, and the interior is also confused!


    With England in your hands, why is it that an opponent looks very good?


    Don''t be like this, come up with some confidence in a football powerhouse.


    "Mr. Hall, I can understand your cautious attitude, but will your remarks make the team too nervous and may cause the team to sink into depression? We seem to have lost the momentum that the strong should deserve."


    Even David Miller, who had a good relationship with Aldridge, frowned and asked.


    He did not ask how arrogant Aldridge was, and regarded Greece as nothing, but Aldridge also had to show some English prestige.


    Aldridge still looked serious and replied: "The power of the strong? When we went to the European Cup, we took it out, and then we went home after the group stage. After the World Preliminaries started, we played Finland away. With the momentum of the strong, we were tied. Before Wembley faced Germany, we won the opponent because of the European Cup. We took the momentum of the strong again, and then we lost in Wembley. Strong The momentum of the players? It¡¯s not something that was spoken, it was played on the court. I don¡¯t think England is qualified to claim to be a strong man. Or, can anyone tell me why England should be considered a strong man?¡±


    The reporters stopped talking.


    In the end, the audience sighed!


    It seems that Aldridge is the coach of the national team, which is different from other coaches. The former coach is in the seat, which is not incompatible with the media, is forced by the media to be crazy.


    When it came to Aldridge, it was not to the point where the fire and water could not be tolerated. After all, England is winning, but the battle is still the main theme, but this initiative has become in the hands of Aldridge.


    The media wanted to sing praise to him, he didn''t appreciate it, he had to sing the opposite of the media.


    Today, if he is entangled with Aldridge, it will become a joke in the eyes of his European counterparts.


    In particular, Aldridge¡¯s question is really hard to answer.


    Why does England consider itself a strong man?


    Yeah, why?


    The 1994 World Cup did not go, the 1998 World Cup quarter-finals did not advance, and the 1996 European Cup local battle was only the top four. In 2000, it was beaten back to the original group stage and did not qualify.


    If this can be considered a strong man, then the strong man caught a lot.


    Realistically speaking, England, the team at the end of first-class international football, plays a second-class team like Greece, you really can''t say how much power you can shake.


    If it is a must-win game, Fleet Street is not so demanding, let''s be more cautious, it should be.


    But even if the game is a tie, they always feel that Aldridge is too low-key.


    Aldridge didn''t even care about the attitude of this game, he valued temperament more.


    In England, don¡¯t be tempted when you encounter a strong team. You will be proud when you encounter a weak team. You can still be bullied and frightened. In the future, it will really become the European Chinese team.


    This temperament is to eliminate outside interference, treat each game independently, pay attention to the game, pay attention to the opponent, and do not affect the present because of the previous victory or defeat.

 Chapter 674： Take advantage of the situation

    Before the match between England and Greece started, Odri? did not go to the sidelines early, because today he has something to say to the players, and he is curious about the dressing room here.


    Old Trafford has come many times, sitting in the home team''s locker room as the coach for the first time.


    It feels very strange.


    Neither a guest nor a host.


    Only Aldridge was sitting alone in the locker room. He looked around, looked at the player¡¯s wardrobe, looked at other facilities, touched the bench under the butt, closed his eyes, as if he could see Ferguson pointing here, and, Turn on the hair dryer.


    Haha!


    Aldridge suddenly laughed out loud, only to imagine the interesting picture.


    As the head coach for a long time, instead of the past admiration for the famous coach, the deeper feeling in my heart is that it is not easy to feel the hardship and hardship of the famous coach.


    This job doesn''t allow you to stop, you can''t stand still, you can''t sit back and enjoy it, it is true that you must keep up with the times every day, understand the environment you are in, understand the outside information, think, and reflect. Time really makes people rack their brains to compare themselves with themselves.


    Not long after, Beckham walked in from outside, followed by his warm-up teammates and the coaching staff.


    Boas came over and reported the condition of the turf at Old Trafford to Aldridge.


    It often rains in Manchester, and turf conditions must be followed up in real time. Otherwise, accidents are likely to happen. Before Millwall comes here to play, scouts will update the weather in time.


    This kind of information update is more exaggerated than ordinary people think, because Manchester may rain three or four times a day...


    After the players sorted out the game equipment, Aldridge got up and walked to the tactical board and said: "In the year I spent with you, I emphasized discipline, transformed tactics, and had professional exchanges with each of you. However, I have not discussed the game mentality with you, because you come from different clubs, each club has its own culture, there is no unified standard, but I feel that now, we trust each other, we can exchange this experience, Share with you, you think it is useful, it does not conflict with your own football philosophy, you can selectively accept it."


    The game mentality is a more complicated issue, because it involves the speed of entering the game state.


    Some players need negative emotions to arouse the excitement of the game, such as anger, will deliberately amplify those dissatisfaction before the game, such as the booing of hostile fans, deliberately looking for the trouble of the opponent player to create hostile emotions, this approach, Instead, make yourself more excited and play better.


    Some players may need to be self-motivated, constantly suggesting themselves to prove, to break through, to reach new peaks, so as to fill themselves with motivation.


    Therefore, if not necessary, Aldridge will not use language incentives as a magic weapon to mobilize enthusiasm before the game, the situation varies from person to person.


    The England players held their heads high and were very interested in what Aldridge would say next.


    Excluding Aldrich¡¯s impressive record since leading the national team, his own achievements in the club are enough to allow him to share his experience and become a golden jade. The non-Milwall players here would like to listen to it, how much can they get, anyway It must be better than not listening.


    "In England, there has always been a saying among fans that there are two types of European football, one is English football and the other is Continental football. You must understand, right?"


    Continental football generally refers to the technical flow of European football, and English football, that is, the style of the "old times" inherited high.


    Beckham, McManaman, Irving and these players smiled.


    They feel the most. When some traditional fans accuse them, they always say that they are not like English players, but European players.


    Like Lampard, Gerrard, Husky, this is the England player.


    Style issues.


    "England football is brave, fearless, and iron-blooded. The continental style of football is considered cunning by fans, just like Ronaldinho and Zidane, who play football by cheating."


    Aldrich''s words amused everyone.


    Indeed, traditional English fans are not waiting to see technical players. They just think that it is not in the style of England. While technical players, when they encounter tough players in England, they rely on technology to gain an advantage, but physical confrontation is at a disadvantage. On the contrary, all parties are "frauding" to take advantage. This deception is actually meant to be a joke, but it does not rule out that there is indeed a deceptive fair behavior such as diving and injury. Traditional English fans think that the person who fell in the confrontation They lost, and were convicted of a foul, which made them a little unacceptable. They felt that the softer and softer the football, even physical contact was not allowed. The players who fell down once in England have always been the fans who don¡¯t want to see them. this.


    "I''m not going to discuss the style of football with you, but I want to tell you that British style and European style have their own characteristics. For example, in the past ten years, Wimbledon has been mad, and the poor Jingle Bell has The Premier League has survived for many years, relying on English style, there are many teams to learn from them, and some have achieved certain results."


    The players who played for the Premier League nodded frequently.


    For a while, most of the Premier League games have a very distinctive feature, that is, after the opening, a certain team will immediately commit an aggressive foul on the opponent, frightening the opponent in momentum! This is actually a behavior developed by the extension of British style.


    "A team cannot switch flexibly in football style, that is to say, you cannot play English style today, and European style tomorrow. It takes a long time to build a style of football. And after changing the style of football, you have to take a lot of risks. However, the mentality of the game, how to play, can be self-adjusted. The style of football, the style of English style and the style of European style are different from each other, but Why has England always had a gap with the top teams on the world stage for many years? I think it is a game mentality. We have always used the British style mentality to play. We are brave and fearless, daring to kill, this is an advantage, but It may not necessarily ensure, or increase the probability of winning, at this point, the cunning nature of the European style style highlights the advantage. They are more flexible in facing the game and are better at coping with games in different environments. Therefore, The European style has become the mainstream, and the British style can be said to have been completely eliminated. I use Millwall as an example. You may not agree, but if I use Manchester United as an example, you can¡¯t refute, Giggs, David. , Solskjaer, Van Nistelrooy and other players are not traditional English style players."


    The remarks made the players think deeply.


    Manchester United, Liverpool, these traditionally represented clubs in England, the style of play has also changed. It can not be said that Manchester United still insists on flying together to adhere to the tradition of football. Otherwise, what did Ferguson buy Belon? Can let Giggs and Beckham alone meet the standard of traditional British players?


    Traditional English style has become history. Whether European traditional style fans accept it or not, clubs in England must keep up with the mainstream anyway, otherwise they will be eliminated.


    However, some British traditions still exist, for example, most coaches will still clamor with the opponent before the game, so that players can¡¯t wait to take the momentum to kill the opponent¡¯s family.


    is this okay?


    It can only be said that there is something wrong, just easy to break, football game, where is the fight? It is also necessary to fight for wisdom, and it is the most reasonable way to guide the situation.


    "Football games are irregular, because every game is full of variables, excluding external factors. The biggest part of the variable factors is two parts, one is the opponent and the other is itself, even if the same opponent, the players play and execute There will definitely be changes in the tactics. The variable factors of our opponents are beyond our control. But what we can master the most is our own variable factors. To put it simply, for different opponents, the head coach will have different tactical strategies. At the same time, the players , Also have a different mentality to deal with. There is no such thing as a football field. You just have to rush forward, the first rush won, the second rush won, the third, the fourth time, the rush can always win Situation. What does it take to win? Not only depends on your own strength, but also depends on understanding your opponent, knowing your opponent''s strength, what tactics you take on the field, what they want to do, and then you do it again Make a judgment, choose one of the two, first, whether I can definitely win the game if I use all my strength, that is, I can win the opponent regardless of the opponent''s idea of ??the game. Second, if I play all my strength, it is impossible to stabilize If you win the game steadily, how do you increase the probability of winning? How do you create more opportunities? Then you need to make targeted changes based on the research of your opponent¡¯s intelligence, and your game mentality should also change accordingly ."


    The players looked at each other, and Southgate showed a proud smile.


    The outside world says that Millwall¡¯s winning streak records seem to be a breeze, but he has really experienced that as the captain, he is the most aware of the hardships. The adjustment made by the Millwall coaching team for each game, the outside world does not at all I know that it is difficult to see it in the game with the naked eye, but it is this full preparation that is the foundation of Millwall''s glory.


    In fact, this experience is the conclusion that Aldridge witnessed the history of football in his last life and the experience of this life.


    An example is Real Madrid, known as the Galaxy Battleship.


    The age of the Galaxy Warship is after 02 years, and there is no saying of the Galaxy Warship in 01, but since the formation of the Galaxy Warship Group, Real Madrid has been booming and declining.


    The strength is definitely no problem. To say how weak the back defense is, it also seems very far-fetched. Doesn''t that mean playing Elgra, Makelele?


    The mentality of the game is definitely a large part of the record.


    I think I can crush all opponents, and the opponents deal with Real Madrid in a targeted manner.


    Although Real Madrid''s offensive has its own historical and cultural particularities, the typical failures are worth learning.


    The players carefully recalled that Aldridge had directed the games they played this year.


    It is really under different situations, using different tactics, in fact, this also affects their game mentality to a certain extent.


    Why come now?


    Obviously, because all the media in England and fans are praising this group of internationals!


    Aldridge just talks about tactics, is it enough?


    They must be allowed to have a correct and reasonable mentality in the game, otherwise everything will be empty talk.


    The players want to understand this. Combined with the current situation and the external environment, they also understand that Aldridge''s intentions are to improve their psychological qualities and avoid interference from the outside world, while also training their resistance to stress.

 Chapter 675： Counterattack!

    "The Greek team will be strong in the future!"


    After Aldridge said this seriously in the locker room, the English players looked puzzled.


    future?


    What is the future about today?


    Aldridge continued to say in a deep voice: "Half a year ago, the Greek team changed coaches, and the current coach you must have heard his name, Rehagel."


    Beckham and others nodded.


    This is a well-known coach in the European football field, far away with the European champion cup seal, the recent achievements to create Kaiser mythology.


    However, the strength of the Greek team itself is limited. What''s the use of the coach alone?


    If you want to quantify the strength of the Greek team, you can roughly locate the grade of this team from the historical record.


    The number of advancements to international competitions is very pitiful. In the European Cup and World Cup finals, the Greek team has never won a victory!


    In front of the top teams, the Greek team cannot even play the role of studying with the prince. At best, they play soy sauce.


    For this reason, the outside world is not optimistic that the Greek team can cause trouble for England. The game has not been played. The top group of the English team has no suspense. The gaming company directly closed the game and rejected the bet of the top group of England in this group.


    "We can no longer treat the game today with the vision of Greece six months ago. As I said earlier, the same opponents have different variables today. The Greek team is in the construction of the new phase, Rehagel First, led Greece to draw Germany. At this time, their military strength was greatly boosted. Although the technical and tactical system has not yet been fully formed, the new national team lineup also needs more time to run in, but if we take it lightly, we will definitely suffer a big loss! I don¡¯t want to see anything else today, and I don¡¯t require you to win. The only thing I want to see is your tactical discipline, how to play the game. I already said at the pre-match preparation meeting yesterday. If any of you are dissatisfied with me on the court, I will replace them regardless of how many minutes the game has started."


    The players looked solemn and nodded in unison.


    In fact, the more powerful the players, the more they like to stick to an "I dominate" game mentality, naively believe that as long as they play beyond the normal level of strength, the performance will reach the goal or even score higher, while giving the ball The team contributes.


    Aldrich¡¯s previous remarks gave them a psychological foundation.


    The head coach is not a neuropathy, it is necessary to make some adjustments in each game to appear to have a sense of existence. Since targeted adjustments are made, there must be a reason. As to whether players can understand, it varies from person to person.


    For the arrangement of Aldridge at the pre-match preparation meeting yesterday, many players have doubts in their hearts. They have similar attitudes to the media and think that Aldridge is too cautious.


    In other words, after the England team''s five-game winning streak, the players'' mentality was inevitably affected. In the final game of the World Preliminaries, a bit of the idea of ??playing the British Empire''s prestige.


    But in the warning sound of Aldridge, the players suppressed the cluttered thoughts in their hearts and cleared their heads. Everything was executed according to the arrangement of the head coach before the game.


    When Aldridge appeared in the Old Trafford stadium, the game was about to start in 3 minutes, he went to shake hands with Rehagel and say hello, somehow, see Rehagel, Aldridge There is a magic barrier in my heart.


    Obviously, the number of championships he has laid has established him as a world-class coach, but in front of Ray Hagel, he always feels that he can''t compare with the other party.


    Such thoughts have happened in the past. For example, when the first confrontation with the famous coaches of Ferguson, Wenger and Lippi, Aldridge will have such thoughts, which is normal and true at the time, but with Millwall¡¯s The champion got a soft hand, he saw the handsome again, from the inside out, the whole person was very calm.


    Even when the coach Mourinho appeared in front of him, Aldridge''s mood did not fluctuate.


    But in the face of Ray Hagel, this mood swing appeared again.


    He knew that Rehagel was an insurmountable mountain in his memory.


    It was not how many championships he won at Millwall that gave him the confidence to surpass each other.


    Because of his ability, he surpassed the champion.


    Rehagel can create myths with offensive football in Kaiserslautern, which is actually not enough to be jaw-dropping. Although Kaiserslautern was promoted, his lineup was not weak.


    And if Rehagel can lead Greece to create the Aegean myth, how can a simple European Cup champion be used to measure its merits and skills?


    Ferguson, Wenger, Ancelotti, Lippi, Mourinho, Guardiola, etc., contemporary or future celebrities, which, like Rehagel, can be king with two very different football styles? Not to mention the creation of myths with the team of Greece, which is the second best in Europe!


    Aldrich never thinks he is different. 99% of his achievements are based on his hard work, and 1% are inherent advantages.


    He will inevitably follow the crowd, just like many fans in the future ridicule Mourinho needs huge support to win the championship, Guardiola only dares to coach the top strong teams, etc., Audric is also inevitable.


    In this England national team, if there is no Beckham, Scholes, Irving, Lampard, Ashley Cole and so on, he has the bottom of the player team, or the time is pushed back about six years , Aldridge did not dare to take over the England national team.


    To put it bluntly, let the world''s top coaches come to the position of the Greek national team coach to make a choice. It is estimated that more than 70% of them shake their heads and turn away. Those who dare to take over may not be able to achieve the miracle created by Rehagel. .


    Aldridge didn''t dare in the first place, he could admit this in his heart, he didn''t feel ashamed, or he didn''t practice home.


    "The final round of the European Group I World Championships is about to start. The England team holding 16 points sits at Old Trafford against the Greek team that has been out of hope in this group. As long as the England team does not lose in this game, they will He will definitely advance to the World Cup finals next year as the top of the group! The Football Association invited Hall as the coach of the England team at the end of last year. This wise decision has had an unexpected effect. The England team has missed the World Cup. Out of the year, in the penultimate way from the group to kill the group first, last month the 6-0 bloodbath of the German team in Munich was recorded in history, and became a classic battle of the England team. Today, from the relaxed atmosphere created by the fans in the stands, it can be seen that they are not worried about the challenge of the Greek team. In Athens, the England team overwhelmed Greece. Today, it may be just a routine game."


    At the start of the game, Aldridge stood on the sidelines to oversee the battle.


    The scene confused and disturbed the audience.


    The Greek team shrunk in the second half, and the England team did not press it. They played long shots on the perimeter. If they had two offenses, they would fight. If not, then go back to defend.


    The fans in the stands originally thought that England could make persistent efforts today, taking advantage of the 6-0 slaughter of Germany to easily clean up Greece. But seeing this scene, England is really a little kid, and is determined to keep the line out?


    Rehagel saw the posture of England and felt awkward.


    In this wave of England¡¯s five-game winning streak, he has carefully studied that Aldridge treats different opponents and uses different tactics. There is no doubt that the other party is a tactical master!


    But England''s strength is stronger than that of Greece. How much courage and will it takes to draw a face-to-face draw?


    With courage, you can play conservatively under the witness of more than 60,000 local fans, and if you have the will, you can stick to your ideas and not waver!


    Strong and weak, if conservative, even if you win, outside criticism will follow the tide, this is the practice of football circles.


    Under the pressure of public opinion, Aldridge ordered the three armed forces to firmly implement conservative tactics, which on the other hand also reflected his control of the England team.


    The Greek team can only play defensive counterattack due to their strength.


    But defensive counterattacks are by no means as simple as it sounds. To fight defensive counterattacks well and achieve results, the coach needs a very strong tactical skill.


    Defensive is the basis, counterattack, how to play, within 90 minutes, when to force, focus on the attack area, etc., this requires the coach to study the opponent before the game to develop, based on the on-site observation to make changes.


    The Greek team frequently adopted foul strategies in the midfield and frontcourt, restricting England''s positional attacks that are not powerful.


    The scene becomes more boring.


    Originally, the two teams did not play well, and the game was frequently interrupted by fouls. How can fans like it?


    However, considering that today is related to whether the England team can qualify as a group, the local fans in the stands are still very restrained, only to boo after the Greek team fouls.


    For the Greek team to take foul tactics, Odri? is not surprised.


    In terms of defense alone, the strength of the Greek players has no one-on-one advantage and can only rely on foul play.


    The Greek team relied on the 532 formation of the four guards plus the scavenger to limit the offensive space of the England team. Coupled with foul tactics, the England team was not good at positional battles.


    In the first 40 minutes of the first half, the rhythm of the game was tepid and the players on the field felt tortured in this game, especially the England players, the opponent did not attack, and the head coach did not allow them to make a big pressure , This game is a grind.


    After 40 minutes, entering the final stage of the first half, the Greek team successfully defended Scholes'' infiltration ball. Scavenger delas quickly controlled the ball and launched a counterattack. The Greek team''s midfield formation began to press forward.


    Aldridge narrowed his eyes slightly.


    It seems that Greece''s counterattack is to catch the last moment, which is usually the period of time when the player''s attention may decline.


    At the beginning of the kickoff, near the end of the end, the former is suitable for blitz, the latter is suitable for sudden changes in rhythm to play an unexpected effect.


    Aldridge couldn''t help but clenched his fists, and secretly said: It is a dragon and a worm. Just these 5 minutes, show it to the world!


    When the Greek team''s counter-attack rhythm suddenly increased, and the offensive players began to move flexibly, the England team''s players were shocked first, and then their blood was boiling!


    Oh shit!


    Sure enough, the coach is right!


    The Greek team is ambitious here!


    Sargerakis, Nicorandis, Giana Corpolos, after a quick and smooth pass from the three, a fatal pass came from the foot of Giana Corpolos, looking for Neville Charles Steas running diagonally to the middle with Ferdinand!


    The sleepy fans in the stands were awakened by this sharp wave of counterattacks in Greece!


    What are the Greeks doing?


    Everyone couldn''t help worrying.


    At a critical moment, Southgate broke the ball in front of Charles Steas!


    The referee didn''t raise the flag, if Charlie Steas got the ball, it was a single shot!


    Ray Hagar''s hot eyes dimmed instantly.


    But Aldridge didn''t show a happy look at the moment. On the contrary, his turn became extremely sharp.


    Southgate immediately passed the ball in front of the right and handed it to Beckham.


    Two seconds ago, the ball was in the penalty area of ??England.


    After two seconds, the ball is in the center line.


    Irving, McManaman, Scholes started running, Beckham took the ball forward, and Ashley Cole on the other side also ran forward.


    Seeing Rehagel, his mouth widened with horror.


    Aldridge raised his chin and smiled coldly.


    Greece wants to fight back in England?


    Today, England is going to fight back against Greece!

 Chapter 676： Skywalker

    When a player on the court is suddenly counterattacked, players on the court will subconsciously withdraw their defenses, no matter how far they are from the football, retreat and take a defensive posture, at least a professional performance.


    This will cause the formation to move backward. After defending the counterattack, the advancement of the offensive will re-think the threat.


    When the Greece team made a strong counterattack against England in 41 minutes, England''s frontcourt players did not return to defense for the first time, and the position did not move back.


    Irving, Scholes, McManaman, remembering Aldridge¡¯s pre-match advice, their position is pressing the Greek midfielder.


    It is risky to do so, because if the Greek team seems to have a big pressure on breaking through the wreck, the pressure on England¡¯s defense will suddenly increase.


    However, the counterattack of the Greek team does not rely on excessive investment of troops, but concentrates on playing the weak links, relying on the player''s flexible running position, and playing less and more.


    After the successful defense in England, he turned around and England launched another counterattack on the spot. This forward attack was more powerful than any of the previous 40 minutes.


    The reason is that the Greek team is advancing quickly in counterattacks. The formation will be slightly premised, providing a pass response point, tearing the defensive formation of England, creating opportunities to ensure the success rate of the pass.


    Greece''s counterattacks are by no means relying on simple long passes, but extremely terrifying tactical discipline.


    Although England¡¯s wave of counterattacks after defeating Greece¡¯s counterattack failed, the offensive space is still not as wide as the previous game of playing Germany, but the victory is stronger in the player¡¯s ability. The strength of the Greek team¡¯s players cannot be compared with the German team¡¯s players. The space is not too big, but it is enough!


    This was a risky counterattack in Greece. As a result, three seconds passed after the fatal pass. England''s counterattack passed the Greek half!


    The situation on the court suddenly reversed and the Greek team was at a loss.


    It is conceivable that they saved their strength and waited for the opportunity, just about to explode, full of thought that they can surprise the England team, beat the opponent by surprise, but the reality is a picture of a complete reversal. Their counterattack hit a certain threat, but they failed to form a goal. There is not even a shot. Even so, the England team should be scared. The result? The England team seemed to be prepared for a long time, but also suddenly exerted their strength, and turned to beat them as a godless master!


    The left defender Fissas and the midfielder Sagramis hurriedly grabbed in a panic. The midfielder moved and the middle was opened wide. Beckham was just right to transfer the ball. McManaman dribble forward quickly after taking the ball in the middle. .


    Irving ran straight into the middle of the opponent''s penalty area, attracting central defenders Dabizas and Scavenger Dras, and another central defender, George Chiotis, had to come up to defend McManaman with the ball.


    But at the moment he just moved, an alarm sounded in his heart, and afterglow in the corner of his eyes saw someone slanting behind him from the middle of the restricted area.


    McManaman straight into the penalty area and the right side of the penalty area was empty. Owen pinned the Greek guards to the left and center of the penalty area. After the right side grabbed Beckham on the full-back and the top defender, there was an English player running into the position. The area is like a sharp knife, hitting the weakest part of the enemy!


    "Scholes! Scholes got a good chance to shoot, stop the ball, move the ball to his usual foot, volley! Beautiful! Scholes set the first record for the England team! This goal was more than we expected It¡¯s going to be late, but it¡¯s still here. For England, there is no suspense for the team¡¯s top place to advance to the World Cup finals!"


    After Ginger broke the door, he turned and pointed to McManaman with a smile on his face.


    Old Trafford remained silent for a long time, and finally burst into overwhelming jubilation.


    The first 40 minutes of the game really made the fans sleepy, but this goal process really made the fans'' ups and downs and exciting.


    The Greek team suddenly kicked a sharp counterattack at a fast pace. Just when people were worried about England''s defense, they blinked. Seven seconds later, England turned to break the goal of Greece!


    This reverse drama on the green field, from Greece to fight back to England to break the goal, the total may be less than 15 seconds, but this is what happened in 15 seconds, so that fans are hooked.


    In the stands, many fans patted their chests, but they were still feeling palpitated with joy.


    Aldridge slammed his fist fiercely, and many players on the field looked at him, and the admiration for Aldridge in his heart could not be described by words.


    Rehagel saw the team''s shortcomings in this goal drop.


    But he was not discouraged.


    He has coached the team for only half a year, and the Greek team has a poor foundation. It will take longer to complete.


    And this time of shaping, Audric is more clear than Rei Hagel.


    Many people later said that the myth created by the Greek team in 2004 has a lot of luck and chance.


    Aldrich doesn''t think so.


    Especially after immersing in the football circle in this life, it is difficult to describe it with luck or accident by recalling Greece''s record of success.


    A game can be lucky or accidental, but a series of games that outsiders said to be lucky and accidental appear continuously in a period of time, then this is not lucky!


    The Greek team really takes shape and will be at the end of next year!


    When the European Cup qualifiers officially opened in 2004, the Greek team lost to Spain at home and lost to Ukraine on the road. Both games lost a 0:2.


    At that time, everyone thought that Greece would be eliminated early, but in the next six games, the Greek team won 6 games! No goals missed!


    4 games 1: 0, 2 games 2: 0.


    In 8 games, scoring 8 goals and losing 4 goals, the data is shabby, but the results are brilliant.


    Forced Spain to directly enter the European Cup, Ukraine was kicked out!


    To say luck, the only luck for the Greek team may be the group stage of the European Cup, with 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss, relying on more goals than Spain and sending Spain back to their hometown.


    However, in the quarterfinals, France was eliminated, and the strongest Czech team after the independence was defeated in the semi-finals. The final host was Portugal, and Greece won the three games 1: 0 into the temple of green mythology!


    This is by no means lucky!


    Fleet Street often describes Audridge and Wenger as Skywalkers. Both of them have their own pursuits on the field, and they have successfully caused a football style to set off huge waves in the English mainland. The storm will affect Far-reaching.


    But in Aldrich''s opinion, Rehagel is the skywalker on this thorny and difficult road to seek the road!


    The game in Greece is based on training, and the outcome is not important.


    Aldridge will not have any sense of accomplishment because the team temporarily took the lead, or even if he finally defeated Greece, it would be sad if he was proud.


    After the goal was lost, the Greek team''s original plan was disrupted. No further offensive attacks broke out in the last few minutes of the first half. England took a one-ball lead to the locker room.


    Aldrich did not praise the players after returning to the locker room, but instead focused on the performance of the Greek team. He actually hoped that from the perspective of the Greek team, the players of the England team would understand how to deal with the game in such an environment.


    International competitions, especially major competitions, are cautious and must be stable!


    Especially when it comes to the World Cup, masters are overstretched, and whoever is suffocated will have a higher chance of winning.


    During the intermission, Aldridge leaves players with some digestion time.


    In today''s game, fighting is not bravery, fighting is ingenuity, who is calmer on the field, who is more able to lead by the situation, who can have the upper hand, and blindly rush, only fall into the opponent''s plan, but equal to expose his life Door to opponent.


    Aldridge went out and smoked a cigarette with Jenson at the corner of the passage.


    Jenson spewed out smoke and suddenly laughed: "Audridge, you are going to practice this England team''s counterattack ability to the peak, it is almost fascinating."


    Aldridge bowed his head and smiled, saying, "There are thousands of ways to win, and the one that suits you best is correct."


    Jenson pondered it and nodded in agreement.


    The coaching staff did not spend any effort on the position battle in England. This has a profit and loss consideration. How much is invested and how much is returned? Even if the potential of the England team is fully stimulated, it may be at best European level. Why? Because England have no Zidane, no Pirlo, no Harvey, no 3R...


    But England has players who are absolutely suitable for counterattacks, Owen¡¯s running position and speed, McManaman¡¯s breakthrough and dribbling, Beckham¡¯s long pass, Scholes¡¯ precise kick and goal consciousness. Coupled with Lampard''s long-range threat, England itself has the potential to play a superb counterattack. It is the characteristics of the player''s ability that determine the tactical design, not the tactics that Aldridge suddenly wants to play and then let the player adapt to it, or transform the player.


    "What if Greece is determined today? Or will the opponents we face in the future also be determined?"


    Jansen asked leisurely with his head held high.


    Aldridge pointed at him with a smile, and said, "I deliberately find fault to tease me?"


    Jenson laughed, they all knew that this would not happen.


    In the league, there are indeed teams that will only want to draw a tie because they have too much difference in strength, because there are points in a tie.


    But in the national team, especially in international competitions, this situation is very difficult to happen. If you do not win in the group stage, you will face the possibility of being eliminated. Rely on promotion? Is there a penalty roulette?


    There are certain factors behind the success of the Greek team¡¯s anti-counterfeiting, which is the contempt of the strong team, but there are also factors that make their mentality more stable and grasp the opponent¡¯s psychology. The opponent is unable to score because of the delay, and then the mentality is anxious, constantly investing in offensive forces, thus It gave Greece a chance to make a fatal blow.


    Although Aldrich felt that he could not compare with Rehagel, and the other party was like a god, he only relied on better resources to stand on top of mortals, but Aldridge did not respect Rehagel''s tactical system.


    People will study such successful tactical systems as 442, 433, 352, 4321, Christmas tree, Tiki-Taka, Mourinho''s winger attack group 433 and so on.


    However, few people will study the successful 5-guard tactical system of the Greek team. Under the background of encouraging offense, Rehagel¡¯s tactical system in the Greek team itself is unpopular. It is understandable to play in the international competition. Defensive victory It''s also an old saying.


    Can not always form the mainstream, because even the relegation team of the top league will not adopt this tactical system that will force the fans to leave the court to watch the ball, which can neither cater to the market nor succeed by imitating. The Greek team itself Perhaps the team with a little money in the team can form a lineup of almost grades, but not every team that wants to imitate can have a coach named Rehagel.


    This Greek team training campaign, England''s life and death battle, remained unsettled in the second half, but when the game came back in the 80th minute, Greece made a comeback, but the England team copied the first half of the goal, but the goal was twisted. , Irving shot was blocked by goalkeeper Nicopolidis, followed by Lampard in the outer long-range shot to make up the ball.


    In the cheers of Old Trafford, Aldridge sent the expressionless Rehagel behind the loss.


    The World Cup preliminaries of the England team ended. The England team ranked first in the group with 6 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss and 19 points, and directly advanced to the World Cup finals next year.


    The German team is going to play in the playoffs, which is unpredictable.


    England¡¯s plan before the World Cup, in addition to studying the opponents in the group stage after the results of the World Cup group draw at the end of the year, other FIFA game days will be a drill lineup to further blend in the team and improve its strength.

 Chapter 677： blacklist

    In the locker room after the game, Aldridge temporarily lifted the ban on the national team players not allowed to go to the nightclub, but attached a rule that they must bring their partners.


    England¡¯s World Preliminaries have come to an end, players¡¯ mentality will be temporarily relaxed, and they will definitely want to celebrate. At the same time, the wife of the England team has also surfaced. In the flashy world of England, the coach deliberately restricts the private life of the players. It is impossible Yes, Aldridge relaxed the restrictions, but required them to be temperate.


    Having their own wife or girlfriend watching, and then indulging, there will be a bottom line.


    The FA is full of joy. Chairman Thompson called Aldridge after the game and invited him to attend the reception hosted by the FA, which was a celebration for him.


    However, Aldridge refused to give him a reason to rest because of the rest, but let the coaching staff attend.


    Let Aldridge realize the existence of his wife''s team, because Melanie watched the ball at Old Trafford with Victoria, and the wives of players such as Southgate.


    Liverpool is next door. At the end of the game, Aldridge declined Melanie¡¯s invitation to spend the night in Liverpool. He felt a little tired inside.


    Burt and Earl and Melanie lived in Liverpool for two days, and he took a plane back to London alone.


    Just feeling relieved, suddenly my heart hung up again.


    The World Cup has entered a countdown, which is not only the player''s highest athletic temple, but also the stage of the top coaches.


    Unlike the league and the Champions League, whether you can go to the end to take a step by step, the World Cup, waiting for him in June next year, which makes him unable to relax completely, and even feel that there is a little time.


    When Fleet Street began praising Aldridge and even the media used irresponsible adjectives such as "great", Aldridge responded very coldly.


    "If England''s goal is only to enter the World Cup, then we have reason to celebrate and my work can also be declared over here!"


    It is well known that Aldridge¡¯s relationship with Fleet Street is stiff, and fans like him and respect him, but he is not in touch with it.


    Just returned to the club, Aldridge made the fans of England love and hate!


    Millwall is also the teacher of the super stable king.


    There is a FIFA match day this month, and it is the final moment of the World Preliminaries, so it takes a long time. The Premier League has only three league games this month. Millwall has achieved two wins and one draw. Last month was also ranked second in Leeds. United won three games, even Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United.


    The outside world had not been optimistic about Leeds United¡¯s prediction. They confirmed that they did not have a certain advantage in the strong dialogue. They were 3 points behind Millwall and ended in October. They were pulled to a 7-point three-game gap.


    Manchester United has also had a very bad month, with three wins, one draw, one loss, losing the ball on the field, and the defense problems continue to deteriorate.


    Among them, losing at home to Bolton aroused the anger of the Red Devils fans.


    Bolton, it was a team whose fans imitated a plane crash and stung Manchester United after the Munich massacre.


    Manchester United has fallen behind to give Millwall 8 points.


    Arsenal won one match and two draws in three games. Millwall opened the gap by 10 points, and can almost declare to withdraw from the championship.


    In the first 11 rounds of the Premier League, Millwall had 9 wins and 2 draws. The defending ambition and momentum were all reflected in the game.


    Around Millwall''s focus, something similar to negative news happened this month.


    Aldridge led his team as a guest in Turin in the middle of the month and played against Juventus in the Champions League group stage away.


    The story of Lippi¡¯s second move into the palace and Juventus is not bad at the beginning. Serie A started with a wave of three consecutive victories in the new season, but then fell into a difficult predicament. At this time, Millwall came strong. .


    The king-level contest, which was clamored for the confrontation between Aldridge and Lippi, turned into a seemingly disparate game.


    Contest?


    Not at all.


    Lippi is already preparing a new phase of Juventus technical and tactical play. The team is in a fission period. At this time, it is impossible to stop Millwall in the peak state. The mad lion defeated the Zebra Legion by 2-0 on the road. The field only gave Juventus a five-foot shot, but four misses.


    After the game, Aldridge received an invitation from Juventus manager Mogi. The other party reserved a seat in a high-end restaurant in the city, and specially sent a luxury car to pick Aldridge to the meeting.


    Unexpectedly, Aldridge didn''t dump the other party at all. Mogi came personally when he got the news. He probably thought that he would personally invite him and the sincerity should be enough.


    Everyone knows what idea he is playing.


    It may also be that during FIFA match day, Pirlo and other Italian players privately talked about their plans to return to Italy in the national team. Mogi received the wind and prepared in advance.


    In an interview after Aldridge accepted the game, he followed the course to prepare to leave, Mo Ji suddenly appeared, and sent him an invitation again.


    Aldrich pointed at him facelessly and scolded: "Put up your hypocritical face! Don''t treat me like a conspirator like you! What the **** you did, you know it yourself! I really admire you , Even a face appeared in front of me!"


    Mo Ji froze in place, probably did not expect the gentleman who has always been polite to tear his face!


    There are a lot of staff in the channel, and some reporters rushed into the channel to take pictures.


    Mogi''s face was sullen and Aldridge looked away in disgust. This picture was taken by reporters, and the fact that the staff sold information to the media quickly became headlines.


    It''s not that Aldridge hasn''t been dug into players, and even wants to experience the kind of private contact with players.


    But to say how sinful is the kind of private contact with players in Manchester United, it seems that Aldrich has double standards. After all, when he dug VanderMead, he was not accused by the Ajax club?


    The club''s private contact with players is an unspoken rule.


    At that time, Aldridge was angry with Ferguson. The fundamental reason was not that the other party contacted Stam privately. After all, a slap did not sound, but because the timing of Manchester United¡¯s contact with Stam had a major impact on Millwall¡¯s season plan and would affect the military. At that time, Millwall was in the sprint stage of the season.


    What Mogi did was really out of bounds and could not be tolerated by unspoken rules.


    Buying an agent, violating Yang and Yin, makes the player a victim.


    Aldridge returned to London and took a cold treatment of the news turmoil. There are many rumors in the outside world. He doesn¡¯t say it or caters to reporters. The more he talks, the more he will become the focus. This is not a glorious thing.


    But there is still a lot of news about the superb fleet street.


    "Which club does Moji work in? Which club does Millwall not cooperate with?"


    Mogi is now in Juventus.


    Millwall will not recruit from Juventus, and Juventus do not want to take away a mosquito from Millwall!


    In the European war, Millwall has established many enemies, the La Liga duo, the Serie A top three, the German class bully, which are all in the field of competition.


    But at the club''s diplomatic level, Millwall''s blacklist in the country is Chelsea, West Ham United, and Juventus is the first to be on the blacklist.


    After the storm passed, Aldridge led his team to welcome his old friend Martin O¡¯Neal at home. Last season he went to Scotland and entered the Super League Celtics. In the first season, he will defeat the Glasgow Rangers from the throne. The kick went on and won the support and support of the Celtics.


    It sounds that in the Super League, the Glasgow giants have little competitiveness to turn. The Celtics have only changed from the runner-up to the championship. Is there anything to boast about?


    In 2000, the Celtics finished second with 69 points and the Glasgow Rangers champion with 90 points, a difference of 21 points!


    Last season Martin O''Neal led the Celtics to win the championship with 97 points! The Glasgow Rangers'' 82 points are still unmatched.


    From being 21 points ahead to overtaking the opponent by 15 points, this is Martin O''Neal''s glorious journey in Glasgow.


    Moreover, in the new season, he led the team to the UEFA Champions League group stage. The Su Chao champion did not directly qualify for the group stage and must play in the qualifying stage.


    When Aldridge shook hands with Martin O¡¯Neill at the Lion King Stadium, the photographers on the side of the court kept taking pictures, and many fans in the stands also showed good smiles.


    The two have a good personal relationship, and the outside world has heard of it for a long time. In recent years, the Premier League team has changed coaches. Martin O¡¯Neill has always been a very loud candidate. He originally thought that he would leave the public¡¯s sight when he went to Scotland. Unexpectedly, he still came back , And continue to compete with Aldridge on the higher stage of the Champions League.


    Crazy Lions fans will remember the scene where O¡¯Neal led Leicester City to cause trouble to Millwall. How capable is this coach?


    Just look at the current Leicester City. O''Neill has only left one season. This season, Leicester City has played 11 rounds. The points are only single digits and 6 points. If you can relegate this season, it will be a miracle. Miracle in!


    I think two years ago, Leicester City was a tough bone in the Premier League, relegated and worry-free, and from time to time to win a cup championship to make fans happy.


    "When will you come back to the Premier League?"


    Aldridge took O''Neill''s hand and asked with a smile.


    "Missing me?"


    Although the Celtics'' prospects in this group are worrying, O''Neill is in a good mood. With the strength of the Celtics, he wants to **** the tickets to the top 16 in the hands of Juventus and Millwall, which is really a dream.


    Aldridge chuckled and said: "Now there are too many Premier League teams that will only put on the bus, pure defense, I miss your side counterattack, otherwise, my players will become lazy."


    "So you wanted me to be Millwall''s whetstone."


    "Also, let''s enjoy the food together while chatting about football."


    O''Neill stroked his glasses. As a disciple of the legendary Kraft, he did have the capital to talk to Aldridge about football. He also enjoyed the exchange process.


    "Shall I have a drink after the game?"


    "No, I reserved a seat at the restaurant in the city."


    "Oh, okay, it depends on whether I am in a good mood after the game."


    "Oh, do you still have ideas about the game?"


    "Of course, what style I am, you know."


    Aldridge nodded with a smile, O''Neill is the kind of coach who will bite you even if his strength is definitely not as good as you!


    O''Neill has experienced the strength of Millwall, but the Celtics team may not, even though the two teams have played in the pre-season warm-up last season, but the warm-up match and the official match are two different things, and Millwall Stronger than then!


    The Celtics faced tenacious resistance against the division of European kings. Martin O¡¯Neill had a set of defensive defenses, but he could not bear the gap of the team¡¯s overall strength, especially when the world-class stars in the Millwall array suddenly exploded. This will put any thoughtful plans for the head coach to check for gaps and vacancies before the game.


    The Celtics stubbornly resisted for 90 minutes, and finally had to swallow the bitter fruit of 0:2. They were also convinced by the scene. Their counterattack was limited by Millwall. The defensive super performance is still difficult to resist the city gate. If not With more luck, Millwall hit three goalposts, and they might throw more goals.


    Aldridge and Martin O¡¯Neill dine in high-end restaurants in the city after the game. They don¡¯t talk about the game and exchange new experiences with each other. Aldridge has the national team coaching experience. O¡¯Neill also experiences new football culture in Scotland.


    The plan was staggered, and the cups were replaced, and the two returned home with pleasure.


    In the coaching circle, Aldridge is happy with friends like O''Neill. Even if he has a good personal relationship with Wenger, he can talk to Ferguson in private, but after all, because of the limitations of the identity of competitors, he can''t communicate openly. .

 Chapter 678： Go red carpet

    The sky was dim, and it was not yet 6pm. Aldrich put on a neat suit and put it on his body. Today he put on a Breguet watch and took a photo in front of the mirror.


    He walked behind Ewen sitting in front of the dressing table, and personally picked up a string of diamond necklaces from the jewelry box to wear for her. A fit crimson dress made her seem to be several years younger, and she could not see at all It was already an old girl who was 24 years old and said that she was 18 years old, no one would doubt it.


    Yi Wen put on the earrings, stood up and sorted out the dress, looked back and looked at Aldridge''s clothes, smiled and nodded, "Hi, handsome, are you free tonight?"


    Aldridge caressed his tie, and said pretentiously: "Do you want to talk to me about life and ideals?"


    "Where to talk?"


    "Of course it was lying in bed and talking, comfortable."


    "Hahaha, go and see those two little guys, it''s not too late."


    Aldridge took her hand and walked out of the bedroom to the son''s room. It was found that Burt and Earl had been dressed neatly. The two brothers were dressed the same and both were children''s casual clothes. It felt very cute.


    Yiwen picked up the comb and smiled to help them make a partial score, kissed them on their foreheads, and smiled: "Well, as handsome as your father."


    Burt and Earl both grinned.


    "Dad, where are we going?"


    Supper had been eaten in advance, and Earl was excited, probably thinking that they were hanging out at night.


    "Go to the movies."


    "Huh? It''s boring."


    "Eh? Don''t you listen to us tell you the story of Harry Potter every day? There are movies to watch now, don''t you want to watch them?"


    "Ah? Really?"


    The two brothers were quite surprised, but instead urged Aldridge to set off quickly.


    Going downstairs and entering the garage, Aldridge looked at the many cars in the garage, including Mercedes-Benz, Bentley, Audi, Ferrari, Porsche, and the old BMW he had driven. The garage was relatively large, and 13 cars were parked. There are three cars in Yiwen''s usual car, an SUV for the family outing, and the rest are Aldridge. He only bought three, and the others were sent by others.


    He opened the key window on the wall, took the key of a Rolls-Royce Silver Angel, and drove the car out tonight.


    I have to say that as the Hall family became richer, Aldridge was also contaminated with some "fake nobles", but he did not seem to be showing off at least two hundred and fifty, but on different occasions, he tried to keep himself in line. On the level.


    To work in the club, he will either drive a Mercedes or Audi, and drive outside to drive a sports car.


    Tonight''s event is rather special. He feels that it is necessary to re-run Mercedes-Benz or something. Some price reduction is necessary to install the facade. Fortunately, it is not his share in Big Brother''s company. His savings for the past eight years have been invested in the financial market steadily. With nearly a billion dollars in assets, as for the Millwall club¡¯s money, he didn¡¯t make any money, and all of them are in the bank. More and more, and now there are more than 200 million pounds of deposits. He always feels that After he retired from the position of coach of Millwall, it was very necessary to leave a considerable wealth foundation for later generations.


    Ewen sat in the co-pilot seat, his two sons sat in the back seat, Aldridge drove slowly away from the community, a neighbor drove back on the road, and asked him loudly, "Hey, Aldridge, go outside Eat?"


    Aldridge usually eats at home, but which restaurants in the city are unique, or the newly opened restaurants are cost-effective, and the neighbors will also communicate.


    "After dinner, go to the movies!"


    "Oh, I wish you a happy time."


    Driving all the way to Ms. Rowling¡¯s door, she now lives in a secluded villa in London, but her time in London is much less than in the past. She still likes the simple and quiet environment of Edinburgh.


    After Aldridge sounded the horn three times, Rowling in a white dress was obviously well-dressed and took her daughter Jessica¡¯s hand out. Aldridge greeted him. The two may not have seen each other for a long time. Afterwards, Aldridge praised: "You are going to be the protagonist tonight, so charming."


    Rowling, exuding intellectuality and maturity, shook her head and smiled: "I''m old. You should boast about her."


    Aldridge looked at his smiling eyes and stared at his Jessica extremely brightly, then bowed his head and asked, "Jessica, are you beautiful, or is your mother more beautiful?"


    Jessica thought without hesitation: "Mother is more beautiful!"


    Aldridge spread his hands to Rowling and made a frustration.


    Rowling couldn''t help crying, and immediately got into Audridge''s car with her daughter. She sat in the back row with an adult and three children. Audrey drove to the Imperial Cinemas in London.


    At this time in the Imperial Cinemas Leicester Square, the premiere of Harry Potter''s first film has been grandly opened.


    In the crowd of people in the square, fans of "Harry Potter" gathered here to cheer for the advent of the movie, but also wanted to see the grace of the cast.


    11-year-old Emma Watson, as well as young Redcliffe and Glint, these three fledgling teenager movie stars stepped on the red carpet for the first time with obvious greenness and shyness, In the spotlight, it is more a kind of innocent reaction that young people should have.


    Other powerful actors, directors, producers and other characters have appeared one after another, and the atmosphere of the scene has always been high.


    In addition to these movie-related stars, some celebrities invited at the premiere have also arrived.


    This is just a premiere, not a public screening. More film critics come here. They will watch the film first than ordinary people, and then give a certain momentum in public opinion.


    When Aldrich arrived at the scene in a Rolls-Royce Silver Angel, fans at the scene looked around curiously, wondering who would come to the red carpet.


    The security guard greeted him in front of the car. Aldrich did not close the door after getting out of the car. There will be a security guard to park the car key.


    After Ms. Rowling got out of the car, there was an unparalleled cheer burst out at the scene.


    However, when these people see Audridge clearly, they let the excitement go to the next level.


    "Hey, who is that? It seems to be Hall!"


    "Which Hall?"


    "Who is Hall?"


    "I really doubt if you are an Englishman. Listen clearly, Audridge Hall! The coach of the England national team and Millwall!"


    "Really he?"


    "It''s him. I remember he attended Joanne with a charity event six months ago!"


    ...


    Aldrich was used to big scenes, and the fanatical atmosphere could not scare him, but today this occasion was very different from the usual on the court. Hearing the fans on both sides called Rowling¡¯s name, he frantically picked up the book or Things like movie posters want to ask for autographs, Aldridge smiled at Rowling: "Your fame is so great!"


    Rowling smiled and said nothing, without any complacency, she was not disappointed.


    After all three children and Ivan got out of the car, Rolls-Royce was drove to the parking lot. Aldridge looked at the red carpet in front of him, and naturally raised his right arm slightly, and Ewen took his arm. .


    Aldrich turned his head and said to Rowling: "Today, it''s your light."


    Rowling replied: "Aldrich, I had the urge to beat people for the first time because of others'' praise."


    Aldridge chuckled, Rowling held his left arm, Jessica and the two Hall brothers who had been fearless for a long time had already moved forward, looking at the fans on both sides, someone tried to tease Burt and Earl , Beckoning to them and enticing them to walk to the side, Burt made a grimaces at the man in concert with Earl''s movements, causing laughter around him.


    Aldrich took a lady to the red carpet on the left and right. This is not a new thing, nor will there be any gossip. Such a scene is common in movie premieres, and more exaggerated is like some fashion shows, designers. A group of beautiful supermodels made their debut on the left, and it was a bit envious of others.


    Halfway through, Aldridge heard someone calling his name in the crowd.


    Rowling said to him immediately: "Your reputation seems to be higher. At least if I go to the stadium, there will be no such situation."


    "Huh, why not try it?"


    Rowling was speechless and stopped talking.


    The photographer photographed along the way. There is no doubt that the mother of Harry Potter and Aldridge made their debut at the premiere together and walked the red carpet together.


    In the lobby of the Empire Cinema, Aldridge is not the protagonist, Rowling is, the stars in the movies come to communicate with Rowling frequently, and Aldridge is also idle, he came to support, in other words, with his fame To further enhance the promotional effect of the film.


    However, there are still a lot of people in the film and television circle who came to greet Aldridge on their own initiative. On this occasion, they met by chance.


    Before entering the screening room, Aldridge and Rowling took a group photo with the celebrities who attended the premiere.


    Just as they took a photo, two men in their early thirties stood in the corner of the lobby. Their eyes would occasionally glance at Aldridge. In whispering, one person¡¯s accent was obviously British, while the other was American. accent.


    "Danny, I think it''s a good opportunity today. Aldrich Hall, the most high-profile coach in England, Europe, and even the world, he is right in front of you."


    Danny bowed his head in contemplation and hesitated. He said in an English accent: "Jerry, maybe you like football as much as I do, but you don¡¯t understand the tradition of English football. This is an internal closure, but it is exposed to the outside world. An unparalleled passion for sports. The head coach must remain dignified, not become an entertainment star, become an incoherent focus."


    Jerry showed a helpless look and said, "But the opportunity is right in front of you. I think you should try it. Aldrich Hall, Millwall, now the focus of the football world, you shoot a film For movies related to him, countless fans around the world will pay for it, and you, as a football-loving Englishman, you have the ability to put a full range of football passion on the screen."


    Danny smiled bitterly and said, "I don''t know how to speak, what reason to impress him, he came in Rolls Royce!"


    "Who would think too much money?"


    "But if he comes to make a movie, his return will be negative, maybe the pay will not be low, but he is coaching Millwall and coaching the England national team, and then going to make movies? Don''t joke, that way, he is like a clown It will be teased by countless fans. Once the team''s performance declines, his loss is incalculable. I think that as an 18-year-old who has coached a professional club and achieved such brilliant achievements today, Audridge Hall, No such stupid mistakes will be made."


    Jerry lamented several times, and said, "In short, you try, he refuses, then you will give up in vain, if you don''t try, you must have been thinking about it, right?"


    Danny nodded after thinking hard.

 Chapter 679： play in movie?

    Aldridge has a wonderful feeling watching movies in his life.


    Think while watching.


    For example, the first part of Harry Potter, which was released at the end of 01, has been watched from his previous life, and will be watched again in this life. There is a small gap of thirty years between them!


    I can remember the general context, but the details have long been blurred, so when watching the movie, I will watch it while thinking, and have another taste.


    A good movie is never tireless, even though Harry Potter does not belong to Aldridge¡¯s mind level of ¡°you can watch it in ten minutes and one second after 10 years,¡± but today you and your family participated in the premiere, leading The public has a quick preview, enough to make him patient and enjoy the fun brought by the film.


    When the film was finished, Burt and Earl were still unsatisfied, grabbing Aldridge''s arm and asked, "What happens later? What happens later?"


    Aldridge smiled and scraped the bridge of their noses and said, "Later, it will take ten years to finish."


    The two little guys were a little frustrated, but they were too addicted tonight.


    After they got out of the screening room, they saw Watson, Redcliffe, the protagonists in these films, and suddenly came to have fun. They ran to ask questions, and before they came, they didn¡¯t know that they were the protagonists. .


    After watching the movie, I felt very magical. The Harry Potter in the movie appeared alive in front of them.


    In the lobby, many reporters interviewed the audience who watched the premiere and asked about the feelings.


    Aldridge is no exception. After being asked by reporters about movie watching, he laughed naturally: "I can''t evaluate this film from a professional point of view, because I''m just a football coach without culture, and my artistic accomplishment is in comparison. Vulgar level, in my opinion, this is a film suitable for all ages, my two sons like it very much, there are parents like me, take children to watch this video, you will not regret it Yes, in addition to the visual enjoyment of the film, I think it has a great positive impact on children. It is brave to face setbacks like Harry Potter, full of adventure, and helpful to children¡¯s future growth."


    The entertainment reporter continued to ask: "I heard that you have a good personal relationship with Ms. Rowling. You often show up together for charity events, don''t you?"


    Aldridge laughed: "Yes, we have known each other for 6-7 years."


    "Then you must have read her masterpiece, right?"


    "Well, I read it before, and now I still tell my son the story of Harry Potter. They love it."


    "Can you comment on the Harry Potter series?"


    "I can¡¯t make a professional comment, but I think the story written by Ms. Rowling resonates with me. I am a football coach. When teaching the players, a large part of the job is to guide the players to overcome the difficulties, just like us Encourage children to play football, which has the educational significance of cultivating them to overcome frustration from an early age. The growth of Harry Potter is actually just like the growth of every child around us. Frustration education is a very important part. Inspire children to give Children have courage. In this regard, Ms. Rowling used her stories to inspire countless children around the world, which is one of the reasons why Harry Potter can have such a huge influence."


    ...


    After Aldridge finished the interview, Ewen was already holding the hands of Burt and Earl waiting for him.


    At this moment, two strange men walked in front of Aldridge. One of them took the initiative to come over and introduced himself solemnly: "Mr. Hall, my name is Danny Cannon. If you don¡¯t mind, you can call me Dan Ni, this is my business card, he is my friend Jerry Roder, forgive us for taking the liberty to meet for the first time and want to talk to you about a cooperative project."


    Aldridge shook hands with Danny, and then shook hands with Jerry. He took the business cards of the two and thought he might be a person like a sponsor, but he looked slightly surprised after seeing the business card.


    This Danny is a character who is also a screenwriter and director. He is in his early thirties, and Jerry''s business card is a producer of American film and television companies.


    Aldrich put away his business card and asked, "What kind of cooperation?"


    Danny said angrily: "We want to make a football movie."


    Aldridge''s eyes lit up and nodded, "Okay!"


    Ok?


    Danny and Jerry both saw Aldridge''s reaction, especially when the other nodded without hesitation and agreed, it made them feel like they were falling from the sky.


    The expected refusal did not appear, and Danny asked tentatively: "Mr. Hall, we want to make a movie with Millwall as your background."


    Aldrich actually remembered the name on the business card when the other party said that he was going to make a football movie. Wasn''t the person standing in front of him the director of "Become Famous" Danny Cannon?


    "Hi, you just call me Aldridge. Uh, it''s inconvenient to talk here. Let''s find a place to talk about it. By the way, do you have time?"


    Danny and Jerry glanced at each other, and both of them saw surprise in each other''s eyes.


    The actual development is completely different from the script they envisioned.


    Why, this young handsome seems to be more active than them?


    Why is Aldridge so enthusiastic?


    It''s very simple, promote the club!


    No one can deny that football will be diversified in the future. Football is no longer simply a competitive sport. The entertainment value is constantly being developed, and the benefits generated have also increased over the same period.


    Just like Americans laughed at the British, an ancient and great sport, the British could not succeed in its operation, and American sports marketing can be called a world model, this point, European football can not be compared with it.


    Aldridge drove his family to a cafe in the city, followed by Danny and Jerry.


    In the coffee shop, Aldridge ordered some supper, and the two sons were sensible. When they asked for ice cream, they took small spoons as if they were reluctant. , Sit quietly aside.


    On the way to come, Aldridge had already told Yiwen the identity and intention of the two.


    After she and the two met each other, Danny smiled and said: "Aldrich, you must know that Hollywood has made many sports-themed films, but there has never been a football-themed film. The most popular and greatest sport in the world, I think that as long as you can shoot the original passion of football, it will be a great success."


    Aldrich nodded in agreement with Hollywood. In pursuit of market effects, football is by no means a cold field. The key is whether there are good works.


    As for why Hollywood has not been filmed, it is estimated that it is also related to the American market.


    The position of football itself in the United States is not high, that is to say, the market has little reaction. Even if the film of baseball, basketball, rugby in the United States is bad, as long as there are big-name stars, the market response will not be too bad. .


    American directors, American producers, screenwriters, etc., are probably unwilling to make such films because of the limitations of their professional field, that is, lack of understanding of football.


    Just like the coach of American football who laughed at football, thinking that football has developed for hundreds of years, the tactics on the court are just a few positions of moving forward and backward and moving left and right. Come to a brand new football tactical system.


    Like this kind of ridiculous rant, even English fans are too lazy to fight back.


    Is football the same as football? Rugby offense and defense start from static.


    Football is uninterrupted within 45 minutes, the situation on the court is changing rapidly, can football be comparable? I often see rugby players continually looking at tactical books before playing. If a football player attacks once and then runs down to see the tactical books, then plays again, and the defense goes to watch the tactical books again and again. Is this still football?


    Britain generally despise that Americans are involved in football for a reason, so the most common sentence that British fans often say when they resist the invasion of American capital by British football is: Do Americans know what football is?


    Danny was very happy that Aldridge was so enthusiastic, he said: "My idea is to take you as a blueprint and make a football film featuring you as the protagonist. It will be performed by you, and you will also have a star personality."


    Danny said this more gently.


    What kind of star temperament?


    Isn''t it just a pretty face?


    It is not two days since he had such an idea. Millwall''s own success is very inspirational.


    The success of the giants is nothing strange, but Millwall''s success story from **** to heaven, like a myth, can resonate. At the same time, Aldridge''s legendary color is also a selling point. This is a positive factor and will become a movie. The attraction is.


    "Am I making movies?"


    Aldridge was surprised, and didn''t know how to smile.


    "Well, yeah, I think that many of your temperaments are unique. Only when you perform in person can you bring the most real results."


    Danny looked serious and unpretentious.


    Why is Aldridge so popular?


    Because his image is not like the head coach in the traditional impression, young, not old-fashioned, will not deliberately pose majesty, or an old-school attitude.


    Aldrich is young, passionate, and expressive on the court, without making people think he is deliberately designing body movements, which is hypocrisy.


    It''s like if Millwall won a second-rate team, Aldridge rushed to the 100 meters to celebrate with excitement, which is definitely a deliberate move to grab the limelight.


    The football field is sometimes very depressing, and fans with a position can also realize that this is caused by pressure, and when the pressure is released, the fans will scream and shout, swing their limbs, will hug the people around them, will make All kinds of behaviors explode. Aldrich is like an ordinary person. When great pressure turns into joy, it naturally reveals the true feelings. This is the real side, and it is also where everyone likes him.


    Aldrich shook his head and waved his hand: "No, I can''t play a movie. Your movie can edit the footage of my game video, but I will not take the initiative to play a movie. First of all, I am not the one Expectedly, secondly, that was not my job. In the end, I was not interested in acting."


    Danny and Jerry felt like roller coasters, and this time it fell to the bottom again.

 Chapter 680： Trilogy?

    Seeing that the expressions of these two people changed from joy to depression, Yiwen was afraid that the other would misunderstand, and asked: "You only said that you want to make a football-themed movie, but what exactly is it? I think if you have to Let Aldridge be the protagonist, which may make the essence of the film deviate and become a biographical character with football elements."


    Danny thinks it makes sense according to the text. Originally he could think of this, but now he is in the United States, and it is inevitable to consider the market effect. If Aldridge can play in person, as long as the movie is related to football, The box office is absolutely guaranteed.


    He is now a screenwriter and directing American CSI series in the United States. Under such a working environment, he has developed this kind of thinking.


    The American drama is based on the market, and the market responds well. Then continue to edit and continue to shoot. The market response is cold. Regardless of whether the story ends, directly cut it!


    I hadn''t thought of sitting down with Aldridge to have a deep conversation. Suddenly the illusion became reality, but he was somewhat unprepared.


    "Ah, to be honest, I wanted to make a football-themed film, but in fact I didn''t even have a script. There were many ideas, but no actual things. Aldridge, I''m so sorry, I, I..."


    Danny couldn''t talk anymore, saying that success was left to someone who was prepared. He suddenly was able to interview Aldridge today without any preparation, which made him very blameful.


    Aldridge laughed: "It''s okay, I''m not good at anything else, but if you want to make a football-themed movie, I think I can come up with an idea."


    Jerry interjected at this time: "But Danny said that it is difficult to make a full-range football movie, and it is necessary to show the audience the true feelings. Then the shooting venue, the actors, and even the game screens may be involved. A family of clubs went to talk, and there was a lot of resistance."


    This is what Danny thinks is difficult.


    Do you want to play football? There must be real teams in the game. If there is no audience to pay for the small reputation, whether the famous club agrees, plus the fan culture, the true sense of the game, even if the game video is borrowed, there are still copyright issues in the video screen.


    Aldridge was stunned, and did not expect such trouble to make a football movie.


    Instead, Ewen chuckled: "You don''t need to struggle with this, just go to FIFA, and FIFA will help clear the relationship. In this kind of thing, FIFA will be happy to help."


    Jerry was unclear, so he looked at Danny.


    According to Danny, FIFA should also be conservative.


    Although Danny is an Englishman and loves football, he hasn''t yet thought about the connection.


    Aldrich''s eyes lit up and said: "Yes, you look for FIFA directly, they will definitely help, and they will be very enthusiastic."


    Jerry asked blankly: "Why?"


    "Because they don''t need to spend a penny to allow football to be promoted internationally. The higher the popularity of football in the world, the higher the popularity and the more money they make."


    "Is FIFA not a non-profit organization?"


    "Huh? That was a lie when FIFA was founded a hundred years ago."


    After Aldridge finished speaking, he said in his heart: Yankee, he didn''t understand football.


    What kind of organization is FIFA?


    As of today, no one can tell.


    Anyway, FIFA is very profitable. In addition to the support of the sponsors, they just sell the World Cup TV copyright, and the profits earned in the process of organizing the World Cup are astronomical.


    Many countries are competing to host the World Cup, but for the host country, this is an image project of working for the people and the money. FIFA is like a money lap. If you hold a World Cup, you will make a fortune. Ten years later, the available funds of FIFA will be More than two billion, and the money thrown into the countries hosting the World Cup will only increase the fiscal deficit. Probably only Germany "officially" hosted an affordable World Cup, but privately for the benefit of canvassing, in fact It is also an astronomical figure. Before and after, South Korea and Japan, South Africa, Brazil, the World Cup project investment and output financial reports are not dare to publish.


    There are many ways for FIFA to make money. Just the logo in the CG screen of various football games. Isn''t the FIFA logo very common?


    Therefore, the more popular football is, the more people like it, and the more money FIFA will make.


    FIFA will definitely welcome football in Hollywood.


    After Danny and Jerry learned FIFA''s position, they looked a lot better, and things were not as difficult as they thought.


    Ewen smiled with his chin and said, "Danny, you haven''t told me what kind of football movie you want to make, is it player-oriented, or something else? I think the movie needs to be shocking, and it must be realistic to a certain extent. , What do you think of the Millwall Club?"


    As soon as her voice fell, she felt that there was an extra hand on her thigh, coming from the man beside him.


    Aldrich snickered in his heart and couldn''t help but stretched his hands on Yiwen''s mellow and elastic thighs. He was a person beside the pillow, and he didn''t need him to wink. He immediately understood how to lead the topic.


    Without making movies related to Millwall, Aldridge would not be in the cafe this big night.


    Danny, who was born in Luton, was the king of England when he was growing up. Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal were the kings of England. However, up to now, it is naturally Millwall who sits on the throne.


    He pondered for a moment and said: "Millwall is indeed a very rich material. It used to be England''s infamous rogue team. In just a few years, it completed the rule from England to the whole of Europe. Millwall¡¯s achievements over the years, compared with the previous history, this has enough shock."


    Yiwen continued: "Yes, since you want to shoot, take the best team, take the most watched team, and Millwall itself has a historical context of declining and then rising, which can be used from the dark age. The beginning of the story, isn''t it?"


    Aldrich replied: "Danny, you see, the current Millwall fans, the overall quality is not bad, the team has a top court, top lineup, brilliant record, but you have to compare the previous words, I can tell You and I have experienced it. Almost fifteen years ago, Millwall fans mostly fought in the stands just to provoke incidents. The players on the court were savage. It was commonplace to lose, and drinking and prostitutes outside of playing football Gambling, this is true, and our former stadium is in a dilapidated state. The scene is very bleak. It can be said that Millwall¡¯s history is full of various negative and negative factors. It can just be the beginning of your filming. Then the climax of the film laid the foundation. From the trough to the peak, from failure to success, the connotation of the film can be a positive and universal promotion of positive universal values."


    Danny listened to Aldridge''s words, and his interest became high. In fact, he only roughly understood Millwall''s past namelessness. East London is also rumored to be the cradle of football hooligans. Millwall''s off-field battle with West Ham United is The main melody, these are impressions, a relatively obscure concept. After listening to Aldridge''s words, this concept is embodied and visualized, and the scene of the dark history of the past emerges in my mind.


    "Indeed, Millwall is indeed a very good subject."


    Danny said it¡¯s not perfunctory, because Millwall¡¯s own history can be directly transplanted as a movie plot. As for how to make a shocking effect, it has the effect of a Hollywood blockbuster. It depends on the level of the director, especially the understanding of football. .


    "Before 1996, Millwall built the team for 110 years, and there was no champion. When he won the first league title in 1997, it was the beginning of a new era, the end of the previous old era, just this era of no crown. , Maybe a 120-minute movie is not enough."


    As Yiwen''s words fell, Aldridge said: "From 1997, to today, Millwall has won three Champions Leagues. This is a glorious era. The stories of these four years may not be told in 120 minutes. Finished."


    "Then it can be made into a trilogy, don''t you always like to watch the "Godfather" trilogy at home? The Lord of the Rings premiering next month, don''t you also want to make a trilogy? Darts, past events, Marseille, Return, Europe, conscience, loneliness, betrayal, life, blue, white and red, heaven and earth, modern history of Greece...many, many classic trilogy videos, if a trilogy series of football films is made, I think it will become a classic of."


    "Well, it can be like this, past, present, future, trilogy."


    "Yeah..."


    Aldridge and Ewen sang one by one, confusing Danny.


    Jerry understands it now. The reason why Aldridge is so enthusiastic from the moment of contact is that he has an absolute position and selfishness.


    He had to remind Danny to avoid Danny being fooled.


    "Cough, Aldrich, your suggestion is very good, but we are not going to make a documentary. The film needs the owner and the plot to promote the plot. Originally you are a good choice. From your perspective, to you ''S struggle to witness Millwall''s journey, but you said you were not interested."


    Aldridge shrugged: "As long as the movie has a general context, the owner is easy to find, you can make up a player, you can use the fan''s perspective, Danny is an Englishman, he must understand that England''s football culture, fans must not A neglected group, you want to make the plot full and tension, players, fans, and even a club staff who have managed the stadium turf for 20 years can become supporting roles, and, I am not interested in making movies, but if you really want to In the role of Millwall, the head coach, you can find an actor to play me."


    Jerry and Danny looked at each other with a wry smile, and Danny said: "Aldrich, because you are so popular, I really can¡¯t think of who can play you without being scolded by the audience. You need to be clear. Your role, first It cannot be a non-British actor."


    Aldridge froze.


    If you think about it, it makes sense.


    According to his popularity in the British national idol, if his role is played by foreigners, the British local audience will not buy it first.


    This time narrowed the selection to the three-point acre of land in the UK, plus age, and the next batch of old drama bones.


    Aldridge thought about it and said, "How about Daniel Craig?"


    He is talking about the future successor of 007, who was just named the most promising actor in Europe last year.


    Danny smiled bitterly and said, "He is 33 years old and looks like he is over 30 years old. How could he play 18-year-old you?"


    Aldridge was a bit troubled this time. The older faces were not tender enough, and the younger ones were not well-known for their acting skills.


    Yiwen looked away and laughed silently.


    Aldridge suddenly thought of a person and said, "I think someone is very suitable."

 Chapter 681： Three World War Red Army

    "Who?"


    Danny was very interested to hear that Aldridge had suggested candidates.


    After all, to play Aldridge, his personal point of view is very important.


    "David Tennant."


    Aldridge said a name that left Danny and Jerry blank.


    "Who is that?"


    Danny had never heard of this person''s name.


    Aldridge''s expression was tangled.


    David Tennant is well-known in the future in the UK. Aldridge loved him in his last life and met the British actor from a classic British TV series.


    "Dr. Mystery" is a classic science fiction TV series well-known in the UK. It has been broadcast lively since the 1960s and is loved by the general public.


    In general, this is a science fiction adventure film full of love and peace, personal heroism, which can be enjoyed by all ages and young people. Now Aldridge¡¯s son is at home, in addition to watching cartoons, he also likes to watch the British tradition of "Dr. Mystery" TV series, and David Tennant is an actor who later plays the tenth protagonist.


    Due to the lofty status of this play in the hearts of British people, anyone who can play the leading role will inevitably become a figure of concern in the British film industry. In addition, Tennant has also played a small supporting role in the later Harry Potter plot. In the movie "Manchester United", he played the assistant coach Murphy of Busby, and the prince Hamlet starring in his personal role can be said to be talked about and praised well.


    When Aldridge saw Tennant in reality for the first time in his life, or when he was dating Melanie, the two went to the stage play, and it happened that Tennent starred, allowing Aldridge to appreciate him up close Acting talent.


    This man is now 30 years old and has only played a few unknown movies. Occasionally guest shows, dramas and the like haven¡¯t gained much popularity in the UK. It¡¯s normal to be widely known.


    Don''t look at Tennant''s past years, but this man has a tender face and is very handsome. The makeup artist uses his skills to transform him into a young boy without any problems.


    The most important thing is that this man''s acting is full of passion and does not belong to that deep and spicy image role. Presumably he can also interpret a young man''s sharpness.


    Danny listened to Aldrich''s introduction and heard Aldrich''s appreciation from the other party''s mouth. He recorded this person. If he really wanted to make a movie, he would naturally be one of the protagonist candidates.


    In terms of materials, Yiwen said: "Milwall has an official review of the video works every season, but that is a fine edited product. If you need it, we can provide more information."


    "Well, the shooting venue, Millwall¡¯s independent training base, and our stadium can all be opened to you. This is the main part. Some of the remaining licenses, copyrights and the like, FIFA will help you clear up the relationship. It should also be It¡¯s not difficult. Besides, there are so many European clubs. Even if a family refuses, there will always be clubs interested."


    Aldrich stepped up the chips in time and opened Danny''s door of convenience. First, let him not feel that this matter was a big problem. Next, don''t believe him and be indifferent.


    Either way, Danny got a result that is ten times and one hundred times better than he expected today, and his heart is already moving.


    However, this matter requires long-term considerations. To make a movie, you must first have a script, and secondly, you have to make a budget. With these, you can find investors, insurance companies, etc. on the right track.


    Aldridge felt good luck today, came to a movie, met Danny Cannon, and found a potential way for the club to promote the brand. If things can succeed, no one can guarantee it, but it is better than nothing.


    We didn''t leave until early in the morning.


    After a pleasant evening, Aldridge''s mind returned to his job.


    In the first war in November, Millwall was a guest at Anfield to challenge the Reds Liverpool.


    Liverpool had a bad start to the new season. After the start, it was a three-game losing streak, but the last defeat was exactly what they achieved after defeating the European Super Cup. Then from early September to early November, Liverpool Quickly adjust it, without fail!


    They are 6 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses in the standings, 9 points away from Millwall.


    The new season is almost 1/3. Liverpool is not far behind, but given their current momentum, if they can beat Millwall at home, they are likely to return to the championship.


    Millwall''s schedule this month is more in line with Aldridge''s intentions.


    Liverpool at the beginning of the month and Juventus at the end of the month. These are the two strongest opponents. The remaining leagues and league cups are not too strong, so that they can be reasonably arranged in the platoon formation and the team accumulates physical strength. Prepare for the Devil''s schedule in December. In December, not only are there many games, but there are also many powerful dialogues. Millwall is going to fight for Manchester United, Arsenal, and the East London Derby returning this season!


    Aldrich said before the game that this is a game that determines the fate of Liverpool League.


    "Liverpool won, 6 points away from the top of the list, Liverpool was tied, the gap is still 9 points, if Liverpool lost, huh, huh, in the case of 12 rounds of the league, they are 12 points behind the first team to compete for Liverpool? The goal should be a little more realistic, and strive to qualify for the Champions League."


    A reporter on Fleet Street knew that Aldridge was agitating. Everyone didn¡¯t take it seriously, but someone laughed and said, ¡°Audrich, didn¡¯t you say you liked Liverpool two years ago?¡±


    Everyone knows that Aldridge likes to run away to play Liverpool, Everton, and there is a suspicion of fake public welfare. Look at the children!


    Now, Aldridge replied without blush: "I still like Liverpool, why not? You know, before I became the head coach, Liverpool legend Shankly was my idol."


    He said that there is no guilty conscience, the fact is that the reputation of the Red Army won by Xiangshuai has laid Paisley''s five-time three-time crown to dominate the dynasty foundation of Europe, and his own personal charm is also fascinating.


    When talking about the game, Liverpool coach Holier vowed: "We will not let Millwall easily take the victory at Anfield!"


    The tone was firm, but the words spoken were intriguing.


    What does it mean to be taken away easily?


    Is it justified if Liverpool is defeated as long as the Mad Lions work hard?


    What Holier said did not attract much attention. After all, Liverpool and Millwall played two finals in the new season, and they were all defeated!


    When the mad lion came to Anfield to prepare for the game, the Liverpool players looked at their opponents with serious expressions in the player tunnel, and they were surprised.


    Even if they are used to victory, the mentality of this group of players is still not relaxed at all. Even Ronaldinho has sharp eyes and no relaxation. Others are all majestic and their temperament is the king ball. The unique place of the team.


    Once ready to enter the game, the players involuntarily played a 12-point spirit.


    For them, in addition to victory, the other results are failure!


    Aldridge and Hollier fought for the third time in less than three months. To be honest, both were a little bit crooked.


    When Holier saw the firm eyes of the starter of the mad lion, the pressure suddenly doubled.


    Why do crazy lions fight so hard?


    Fuck!


    The Golden Globe is coming...


    Actually, Liverpool is lucky today.


    Millwall''s two main players were absent. Henry had a minor injury. He is expected to return in a week. He will also miss a round of the game. Gattuso was suspended due to the accumulation of yellow cards. It is also difficult for this kid. Attacking, the opponent will fight back and sometimes have to commit a tactical foul. Even if Gattuso has deliberately converged, he still has enough yellow cards in 11 rounds to suspend the game.


    Klose and Pedretti entered the starting list today. The former''s strength has greatly improved last season. This season has been the first choice after the Trident, Ronaldinho, Henry, Larson, Nedved, Klozer can go up and play, and now he has the title of super substitute. He has played three games in the League Cup, scoring 8 goals, starting 3 games in the 11th round of the league and 5 games in the bench, scoring 6 Three goals, three assists, amazing efficiency.


    Pedretti¡¯s technical ability has reached a mature stage, and the future focus is on strengthening the body. This was known as Markle Claire. Now no one has high hopes for him like this. Makelele¡¯s advantages are not only stealing technology, but also awareness, Just watching Pedretti playing football, there is a clear gap with Makelele in consciousness, and this, it is difficult to catch up after a lifetime.


    However, Aldridge does not dislike it. On the contrary, Pedretti has been staying in the team honestly. Some strong French teams have called him back to play the main role. He is also not tempted to let Aldridge appreciate him more. Players are a good complement to the team. After all, a team of about 23 players is a first team. It is impossible for each team to be a top player. There should always be some barely first-class players. When they are available on the bench, there are times when they can be used. A choice, just like today, Gattuso can''t get on, De Rossi is still young, Alonso''s role is not a pure defensive midfielder, Pedretti comes on the field, Audridge is very attentive.


    "The focus of the 12th round of the Premier League started in Anfield. The two giants Liverpool and Millwall will stage a strong dialogue. Before the game Hall said that this game will determine the fate of Liverpool. Today Fleet Street said that this game It is likely to determine the fate of the Premier League! If Millwall wins, Millwall with 10 wins and two draws in the first 12 rounds, I am afraid that he will almost lock the league champion at the end of the half-way, until next month when the Devil schedule arrives, Mill Wall will no longer have a strong team challenge in the league. During this period, if the gap with the chaser is further widened, Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and other teams may be discouraged at Christmas."


    From the beginning of the game, Aldridge was sitting on the coach''s seat. This season, in any league, he abnormally did not appear on the side of the court to stand and direct the game.


    He will only be on the sidelines when playing in the bench.


    However, he does not chat with his assistants, and still looks at the game seriously, now a little quieter.


    Calmness has always been the case.


    Hollier also sits on the coach''s seat. He also locked his eyes firmly on the court and observed the game.


    When he saw Millwall''s players enter the game at a very fast speed and took advantage of the field, he was tight in his heart and sighed: "Millwall is getting stronger every season!"


    The strength of paper strength is only the foundation, and many other invisible and intangible factors can also affect strength.


    For example, when entering the game, Millwall played away, but he completely entered the game in less than three minutes. The players run actively, cooperate with the tacit agreement, play decisively, and organize the offense very smoothly.


    This is another characteristic of the strong team. The sooner you enter the state, the more you can occupy the commanding heights on the psychological level, allowing the opponent to follow your own rhythm and directly affect the situation on the court into a passive situation.

 Chapter 682： Sudden cardiac arrest!

    Holier discharged a 451 formation at home today. The tactical posture is naturally anti-reverse. Two defeats two months ago made him realize that Liverpool can only face anti-reverse to face Millwall.


    Millwall has an advantage on the court and takes the initiative to attack.


    When Liverpool defended, it was like a 631 formation.


    The full-backs closed the penalty area, the full-backs retreated into full-backs, and the remaining three midfielders became the barriers in front of the penalty area.


    Carragher was originally scheduled to play as a full-back, but when he gets into the penalty area, at least the defense will not be beaten like a full-back and then turned around and burst into a mess.


    Ronaldinho, Larson, and the intimate threats of these two cannot be ignored. Liverpool used a simple method to limit. The full-backs contracted the restricted area, and the ribs almost did not appear.


    Thirty minutes into the game, Anfield was quiet.


    Red Army fans want to cry without tears.


    The great Red Army, Liverpool, at home, a field named Anfield, let Ferguson''s Manchester United come here will feel extremely dangerous stadium, but was attacked by the crazy lion, even a decent counterattack can not be hit!


    Holier''s breathing was heavy and heavy, and he felt very depressed.


    His vision fell through again.


    Ronaldinho and Larson played extremely cleverly today, and their ribs weren''t free. They didn''t move forward and didn''t take the initiative to change positions. They didn''t try to break through to ensure that the ball was not lost. Then, they pressed the back line. , Dragging Liverpool''s large defense team, but constantly sending artillery shells to the teammates behind, they are like a fort, which not only blocks Liverpool''s counterattack, but also allows teammates to launch long-range threats.


    Larson is really getting older and more demon, the ball will not be lost under his feet, the rationality of handling the ball is like a textbook, Ronaldinho is to further improve the ability to read the game, the sudden burst, the pass is passed, now more It is through their own position to suppress Liverpool.


    He was in the middle of Liverpool''s full-back and full-back, making Liverpool''s two points conflict with each other. He didn''t dare to venture forward because of too much consideration of defense. Larson was also on the other side, so Liverpool''s counterattack was not Out of threat, he was slowed down just halfway through the ground, and then faced with Millwall''s high position, then he turned into a positional battle, or he was counterattacked after losing the ball.


    Ronaldinho did not make a breakthrough in the first 30 minutes. After a counterattack by Liverpool just after the midline was intercepted by Pedretti and passed the ball to him, Ronaldinho suddenly accelerated, turned around and moved forward at high speed, Liverpool''s defense Still in the penalty area, Carragher¡¯s position was just standing inside the line of the big penalty area. He saw Ronaldinho brought the ball over at high speed. After the other party stepped on a bicycle, Carragher subconsciously thought Ronaldinho would cut inward, so he directly Sealing the inside line, moving the center of gravity, Ronaldinho stepped on his bicycle and continued to bottom.


    When Carragher turned and chased again, the distance was not too far apart, but Ronaldinho directly crossed the ball after he got down.


    Klose was caught between Hepia and Hengoz, but none of the three grabbed the point. The ball slipped across the door, which was clearly higher than the limit height of the three.


    Ronaldinho, himself, did not pass Klose.


    The real goal is Larsen after the point!


    Klose was blocked by Hepia and Hengoz. It is nothing to say that now the strength is so. Liverpool''s 3H defensive combination does have a good fighting power.


    However, Liverpool''s defense line contracted today, and there will still be a small gap between the one and the other. This gap stems from the fact that the central defender''s relatively large defensive area has been handed over to the full-back.


    When Ronaldinho broke through the bottom, Larsson started on the right, cut off the goal behind the goal, Ronaldinho''s pass came as scheduled, Rither followed the defense to turn around, between this electro-optical flint, he was obviously Larsson grabbed the position, and Larsson separated Rither behind him on the route based on his experience. Even if Lisher had a covert push in his hands, he still couldn''t stop Larsson from taking a header.


    The movement of the top ball was a little irregular. Larson flicked his head sideways to attack the goal, because he was pulled by Rither''s arm when he took off, and the center of gravity was a little off, but he still tried to adjust his body in the air to avoid irregularities. Action header!


    The ball went straight to the top right corner of the goal, the dead end!


    "The goal was scored! Millwall took the lead. Ronaldinho made a cross on the left and made a cross. Larson outscored the goal and nodded the goal! They had a very good understanding!"


    As the commentator said, this is tacit agreement.


    Ronaldinho didn''t even look at the situation in the penalty area before passing the ball, but he has been training for several years, and the tacit understanding cultivated by the game, he knows clearly, as long as he passes the ball to which area, which teammate will appear there.


    Larson doesn''t need to gesture to Ronaldinho. As a striker, if he waits to see the ball before running, the daylily is cold.


    Ronaldinho took the ball forward, he started to start, as to whether to go in the middle or inward, it depends on Ronaldinho''s next move, when Ronaldinho''s action to break through the bottom line comes out, Larson will not have any hesitation , Point directly behind the goal, this is the consciousness of the killer.


    The fans of the Lions celebrated in Anfield brazenly, and the fans of the Red Army were heartbroken.


    Aldridge stood up and applauded the team for the goal. At the same time, he gave a thumbs-up to Pedretti, praising the opponent for the precise steal and the direct counterattack.


    As Aldridge put his hand down, he heard a cry of excitement from the Liverpool coach seat.


    "Girard! Girard! What''s wrong with you?"


    Aldridge turned his head and saw that the Liverpool coach seat was in chaos. The coaching staff and the substitute players all surrounded the head coach''s seat.


    This scene made Anfield quickly quiet, the guest Lions fans stopped the celebration, the players on the court looked unexpectedly at the incident, the referee even trot, and many Liverpool players also Ran over.


    Although Aldridge and Hollier are opponents on the field today, he and Hollier have known each other for more than 5 years. Even though the relationship is not particularly deep, they respect each other.


    He ran to the Liverpool coach seat and saw that Liverpool''s team doctor was doing rescue measures for Hollier. It seemed that Hollier had a heart attack!


    "WTF! What are you looking at? Damn you call an ambulance!"


    I have to say that Liverpool''s medical team is terrible, and it can be seen from Liverpool''s geniuses who have been destroyed by injuries in recent years. Aldridge is not surprised.


    But at this moment, the lives of the people are critical, the Liverpool team doctors are still doing ordinary rescue measures. Others are in shock and panic. The exit of the Anfield stadium channel, the stadium management actually came together to talk about the wait and see, looking curious .


    Aldridge roared at the staff of these courses!


    In order not to distract myself from directing the game, Aldridge¡¯s professional habit is that he will not carry a mobile phone during the game.


    After being awakened by Aldridge''s roar, the stadium staff immediately called for an ambulance.


    Aldridge went to see Holier again, his face covered with sweat and sweat, his brow furrowed and his eyes closed, his hand covering his heart with pain.


    "Isn''t he having a heart attack a day or two? What about his emergency medicine?"


    Aldrich said that the team doctor next to Holier kept touching Holier''s pockets, not to mention that there was really medicine and he was given it immediately.


    However, after taking it, the pain did not seem to have eased.


    Anfield was dead and silent at the scene.


    Many Liverpool players are holding their heads on the periphery with a dull face, and it seems unbelievable that such things will happen in the eyes of sadness.


    The game must be suspended. The referee team is more like an ant on the hot pot. At a loss, he hurriedly reported the matter to the FA.


    "Oh my god, Liverpool coach Girard Hollier seems to have a heart attack. Maybe, maybe he was stimulated by witnessing Liverpool being scored. I hope he can get through the difficulties and be safe."


    Three minutes passed, and the ambulance hadn''t come yet. Hollier''s situation became worse. He passed out.


    The team doctor examined his pulse and heartbeat and said in horror: "He has a sudden cardiac arrest!"


    The peripheral players hugged their heads and turned around. Some players covered their mouths and noses with their hands, their eyes full of fear and sorrow.


    Aldridge was as cold as ice, shouting to Liverpool''s team doctor: "Hurry and give him CPR!"


    Aldrich''s family also had heart disease, but it was not serious. His mother Amelia, so Aldrich knew some countermeasures.


    It''s Liverpool''s team doctor, which makes Aldridge speechless and panic-stricken, how can he be like a doctor?


    This is also blameless. The team doctor of the football club is very different from the doctors in the traditional industry, and there are academic differences.


    Aldridge stood outside with his hands on his hips and his other hand before his mouth. He was a subconscious move, but everyone could see his worries.


    No matter how many painful memories Millwall has made for Liverpool, no matter how many times Aldridge has defied Liverpool, now the fans in the Anfield stand are unable to raise a half-point of grievance against Aldridge. Instead, he is grateful that he is in a sudden What you did after the incident.


    In this case, the truth is often revealed.


    Two minutes later, the ambulance drove directly into the stadium, Aldridge followed and watched Holier was sent to the ambulance. In the case of the team¡¯s medical cardiopulmonary resuscitation in time, Holier recovered when he got on the ambulance. Although the heartbeat and pulse are still in a coma, at least people are slightly more optimistic.


    The audience at Anfield watched the ambulance leave and the game continued, but both the fans and the coaches on the scene became particularly heavy.


    In the stands, Red Army fans raised their scarves and began to sing "You will never walk alone". It didn''t take long for the song to ring through the sky, but it was only more and more tragic.


    "Although Liverpool fell behind at home and coach Holier¡¯s heart attack was unpredictable, Anfield¡¯s singing made us realize the extraordinaryness of Liverpool. The fans showed a spiritual will beyond the scope of football. Now Anfield¡¯s sight Very shocking, if you understand the causes and consequences, stand here, no matter who you are, you will be moved, let us pray for Hollier, hope that he will overcome the disease and return to the Red Army! in!"


    Liverpool is temporarily out of coaches, and assistant coaches temporarily command the game. From a technical and tactical point of view, 90% of the martial arts have been abolished, and the teaching assistant is at best a decoration.


    But in the shocking singing of Anfield, the Liverpool crowd will turn their grief into strength. What tactics they play on the field, they don¡¯t know for themselves. Each player is like a beast, an extraordinary effort, and it seems that he wants to use a victory. Come and pray for Hollier.


    Aldridge was in a terrible mood.


    He has coached the team for more than seven years and was distracted by factors other than football for the first time in directing the game.


    The lingering picture in his mind is Holier covering his heart with pain, and the process of the ambulance leaving the stadium.


    He was distracted, and the Millwall players on the field were a little bit unsettled. The scene just now was put in the ordinary people''s eyes. There must be a touch in his heart. He was suddenly attacked by Liverpool. The situation on the field was turned upside down.


    Before the end of the first half, Liverpool equalized.

 Chapter 683： respect

    Anfield continued to sing when the halftime whistle sounded. This scene touched people''s hearts.


    "With Husky''s goal, Liverpool equalized the score in the 45-minute game. The score is now 1:1. Perhaps many Liverpool fans are now more concerned about the situation in which coach Hollier was sent to the hospital for treatment, but the game on the field Liverpool players hope to give their coaches a victory. This is the spirit of Liverpool. The head coach is fighting against the sickness, and their players are fighting tenaciously against the most powerful team in European football!"


    Aldridge first smoked a cigarette. Whether it was him or his colleagues in the coaching staff, Klinsmann and Jensen were in the same mood.


    Suddenly seeing a head coach critically ill, it happened right in front of my eyes, instead of knowing through the news, that scene was speechless and even depressed.


    Why exactly, in addition to a normal person''s worries and care, there is another emotion that haunts my heart.


    Klinsmann, Jenson, Boas, Babu, etc. Like Aldridge, they smoked against the wall around the corner of the player channel, so silent, the atmosphere was very depressed.


    It seems that the game is not important anymore.


    Aldridge''s expression was complicated and a bit of a wry smile.


    Really ridicule.


    Xiang Shuai''s famous quote misinterpreted by the world: football is higher than life and death!


    When someone really lingers on the verge of life and death, who dares to say that football must be the first?


    Klinsmann may be the first person to be able to sort out his emotions.


    He has been a player, knowing that the player is not easy, the player''s career is very short, but throughout his career, there is a lingering demon, that is injury, you can not predict, you can not prepare in advance, maybe Injured on the court that day, and then anxiously wait for the fate trial. Serious injuries will make the players bid farewell to the professional field. More cruelly, it may be life-threatening.


    Even after being retired, some old injuries may still leave roots for a lifetime.


    The so-called illness goes like a thread, no matter how strong a person is, after all, they are also afraid of the disease.


    Holier''s sudden heart attack, this scene is like a player suddenly suffering serious injuries on the court. That fear and fear, even as a bystander, can be easily infected.


    Aldridge finished smoking a cigarette and walked towards the locker room. The other coaches followed him one by one.


    Everyone¡¯s mind is not on football, and because of Millwall¡¯s long-term success and continuous victory, he has accumulated a huge advantage. It seems that in today¡¯s situation, winning or losing becomes insignificant.


    Such thoughts also spread among Millwall players.


    In the locker room, the players were talking in a low voice, discussing Holier.


    As captain of Southgate, facing today''s unprecedented situation, he did not know how to speak to his teammates.


    The score was a draw and the team came to Anfield for the purpose of winning.


    But in this situation, it seems a bit cruel emotionally to mobilize momentum to turn Liverpool.


    When Aldridge walked in, the players closed their mouths and they looked at each other, wondering if the head coach would be furious when they lost the ball at the end of the first half.


    Obviously, in the 10 minutes at the end of the first half, the Millwall team was a little distracted, wouldn¡¯t Audric get angry? No, he just doesn''t get angry without reason.


    Aldridge sat down somewhere, leaned down slightly, folded his fingers together, lowered his head and whispered: "What happened in the first half, you witnessed it, you don¡¯t need me to say more, Girard Holly I am a friend of mine. I am sad, worried for him, and pray for him in my heart. He is a good person and a respectable elder."


    Aldrich respected Holier as an elder, which is normal, after all, Holier has been more than half a year old.


    The players nodded, and some people wanted to comfort Aldridge, but Aldridge took the lead and went on.


    "Today we played against Liverpool, although there was an unexpected incident on the sidelines, but my requirements for you will not change. I never said that we have to defeat an opponent and win a game. I judge the team. The standard is whether you have worked hard to play your level. The goal lost in the first half of the first half is not the level you should have. Gareth was easily broken by Irving, and Marco also lost. Husky, you have an inescapable responsibility for losing the ball, the midfielder¡¯s poor interception, the striker¡¯s defensive return, I know the reason, everyone is distracted, and at the same time, moved the heart of concealment."


    Ronaldinho scratched his head, Larson closed his eyes silently, Nedved frowned, and Southgate and Matera sank like water...


    Aldridge basically took the mind of most of them.


    Millwall is the strong, the king of the best!


    Victory seemed to them as easy as a victory, and the champion was like finding things.


    But for Liverpool, perhaps the victory of the strong dialogue, especially the victory of Millwall is a luxury, even the draw seems very precious.


    What is common in Millwall''s eyes is different from others in the eyes of others.


    what is this?


    Probably like "compassion of the strong".


    Aldridge lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "I also had this emotion just now, and I was unwilling to chase Liverpool in a raging fire. Let loose, let go, give them a decent draw, and get into hospital in Hollier. Under the unpredictable background, the handshake and peace may make the situation look better. This idea was rejected by me for a long time."


    As soon as the words fell, the players looked at each other, and they all looked at Aldridge again, and he looked up and solemnly said, "If, if we and Liverpool''s situation changed, I was in the hospital, Milwaukee. I don¡¯t have the best strength, but in the end, Millwall achieved a good result when the opponent released the water. When I wake up, when I go back to watch the game video, what do I think? What kind of What about emotions? I thought about it, and then I felt that I would feel humiliated. I defeated the disease with a strong will and woke up, but saw that my team achieved good results because of the poor opponents. This is the head coach. The shame, I can¡¯t rely on my ability to help the team defeat the opponent, but rely on my tragedy to get the opponent¡¯s pity and sympathy, so that the team can benefit.¡±


    The team fell into deep thought.


    Aldridge stood up, with a strong voice.


    "I¡¯m not talking about winning or losing, or the result of a game here, but the most basic principle on the football field, that is: respect! Yes, we have compassion, care for the heart, and a soft heart Part of it will be touched, but to play with such emotions, we can not exert our strength, is this correct? We think we are sympathetic, in pity, and give some support to Liverpool symbolically, in fact, We have devalued Liverpool and belittled them. Liverpool do not need mercy, they have a strong will and a strong spirit, they are the Red Army! If one day, when a tragedy occurs, your opponent will show sympathy and look Fighting you with pity, how will you feel? Will you be happy because you have defeated your opponent? Will you?"


    These words sounded loudly.


    The players shook their heads subconsciously.


    It will make people feel useless.


    What is the meaning of respecting opponents?


    It means paying attention to opponents, exerting their own strength, simply competing, and competing heartily!


    Care and help, sympathy or compassion should be off the court, not on the court.


    Otherwise, after the Munich crash, Manchester United should be directly sent to the Champions League. After the Turin crash, Turin should not be attacked by Juventus.


    Millwall is a division of civilization under Aldridge. The style of the game is not rough. The players will not harm the principle of fairness on the court, so in today¡¯s scene, they will not cause a strong hostile atmosphere between the two teams. If it seems like a gang-like kick, even if it is a normal performance, the rough style of the game is likely to be amplified after the game and condemned beyond the scope of football.


    The players took their expressions seriously, and after throwing their minds away, Aldridge went to the tactical board and began to arrange the tactical play in the second half.


    He is very serious and very focused, no matter what the final result of the game, he can only pay tribute to Hollier in this way.


    This is not about falling into the rock or taking advantage of the fire. This is the competitive significance of football itself.


    Millwall deserves to show respect for Liverpool.


    Liverpool is special to Millwall.


    Millwall''s first FA Cup title was snatched from Liverpool, and the Premier League''s first away victory was also at Anfield.


    It can be said that Millwall stepped on Liverpool''s body and became famous in England to enter Europe.


    When the second half started, Aldridge was still sitting on the coach''s bench with a dignified look.


    "Liverpool are likely to use the momentum at the end of the first half to continue their efforts in the second half. From the beginning of the second half, they showed a very brave momentum and played the Red Army prestige that Anfield should have!"


    The excitement of Liverpool players is more than usual, extremely aggressive, brave and fearless, like a pack of wolves.


    At this point, Millwall has to avoid his edge, even though he has excellent skills.


    Aldridge seldom chooses to play hard, if not necessary, he prefers to win by skill.


    Liverpool went crazy, and the Millwall formation contracted and retreated, and it appeared to be suppressed by Liverpool.


    However, in the 64th minute, Schneider made a long pass in the backcourt. After Larson''s anti-offside success, it was a long-range attack to face the meeting. In the face of Dudek, Larson failed to control the ball in the final step and shot the angle Affected, he was not reluctant and chose to cross the middle. Klose who followed up easily pushed the empty goal and Millwall led the score again.


    Klose did not celebrate after scoring a goal, twisting with Larson and walking towards the backcourt.


    Anfield¡¯s atmosphere was not affected by the score on the field at all. ¡°You will never walk alone¡±.


    Liverpool lag behind, and this time directly overwhelmed.


    Their assistant coaches have no other way to command on the sidelines. They are basically a mentally stimulating way of commanding, just let the players rush.


    In the 71st minute, Nedved broke the goal in the counterattack. In the 77th minute, Ronaldinho assisted Nedved to score twice.


    1: 4!


    The three goals Millwall scored in the second half were all the same way. He took advantage of Liverpool''s active fight for the defense line and pressed the ball to quickly move the ball back to counterattack, which was very targeted.


    Aldrich made a substitution when leading the three goals. Every 2 minutes, he was consuming the will of the Liverpool players, allowing the game to cool down the opponent''s mentality during the constant suspension.


    However, the Liverpool players have been persistent. In the 92nd minute, Haman scored the second goal of Liverpool''s game. The whole game was also declared ended after this goal.


    2: 4!


    Millwall scored his tenth victory in the league this season and Liverpool were 12 points away from the top of the list to bid farewell to the title.

 Chapter 684： think about life

    At the end of the game, Aldridge formally shook hands with Liverpool assistants, and then briefly summed up the game with the players in the locker room. Aldridge gave limited praise for their performance in the second half.


    Even if the Red Army is at its peak and the personnel are in order, Hollier has not had such an accident, and Millwall has a higher probability of winning, but the players must be praised for their perfect tactical discipline in the second half.


    The reporter in the mixed zone was already waiting for Aldridge. When he showed up, the camera was aimed at him for the first time. The reporter asked with a microphone: "Millwall won a 4:2 victory. During the game, Hollier was taken to the hospital due to physical discomfort. How do you feel about this game? We saw that at the first moment of the incident, you were very concerned in front of the Liverpool coach."


    Aldridge¡¯s expression was heavy, and he wrote lightly: ¡°Liverpool players are very hard in the game, but our guys also showed their correct attitude towards the game. To Liverpool, I can only say regret, the victory belongs to Millwall, this is us It deserves it. It¡¯s an unfortunate day for Hollier, and it¡¯s not a good time to talk about it, sorry, I¡¯m leaving.¡±


    He did not give reporters more time to interview, turned around and walked out, the camera followed him all the way, his back disappeared at the exit of the tunnel.


    Aldridge asked the Liverpool staff to know which hospital Hollier was taken to, and left Anfield to take a taxi.


    On the way he texted Yiwen, telling her that she would stay in Liverpool for a while, and how long it would be. Aldrich didn''t know.


    In Liverpool¡¯s local hospital, Hollier¡¯s family has arrived. When Aldridge arrived, many reporters were waiting outside to follow up on the incident.


    Aldrich greeted Hollier¡¯s family, and learned of Hollier¡¯s situation, and was still performing rescue measures in the operating room, but the situation should be optimistic because Hollier¡¯s heartbeat and pulse were already when he came to the hospital. becoming steady.


    Liverpool players came to visit one after another. Aldridge met with the disciples of Gerald, Irving, Carragher and other national teams. They just nodded their heads and did not communicate.


    He was sitting alone in a chair in the hallway, wherever he went in the football world, he was uninterested. People here came to worry about Holier, which also gave Aldridge a quiet space for thinking.


    Sitting at the hospital corridor at this time, where Angel and Death coexist, Aldridge understood why he was so heavy.


    The job of a football coach is very stressful. The team''s record is one of them, and the influence of the fan group is also one of them. It also has to rule the locker room, deal with interpersonal relationships, and usually, train, prepare, direct, and play within 90 minutes. It can make the head coach''s heartbeat and blood pressure seem to experience more than one and a half hours of stimulating roller coaster. Over the years, many people are overworked, and heart disease is also a high-risk disease in this industry.


    Behind the glory is the invisible contribution of ordinary people, and the health risks are very high.


    Some Premier League coaches also heard the news, and even Ferguson came to Liverpool from Manchester.


    Manchester United''s round of the game ended yesterday, Manchester United won Leicester City 2-0 at home. Ferguson is naturally concerned about this strong dialogue between Liverpool and Millwall. He watched the game at home when he saw Hollier was escorted away by an ambulance. He asked a friend for the first time to understand the situation. He didn''t watch the second half of the game. He replaced his casual clothes at home. After wearing a suit, he came to Liverpool and Biodridge came. The hospital is half an hour late.


    "What happened to Girard?"


    Ferguson sat down next to Aldridge.


    Aldridge didn''t know much, but just shook his head.


    Ferguson''s expression was also a bit unnatural. Aldrich suddenly remembered that Ferguson seemed to have a heart problem, and turned his head to say to him: "Pay attention to your body, and have more time to check."


    Ferguson''s heart disease only broke out two years later, causing huge waves in the original history. Fleet Street even used the news of "Red Devil Empire Collapse!" to report on Ferguson''s heart disease.


    "Well, I really envy you, young."


    Ferguson accepts Aldrich¡¯s kindness. In fact, he also knows his physical condition, age is one aspect, but it is undeniable that the overwork of the young and powerful is a lie for today. To know the Red Devils ten years ago, Ferguson only covered up Heaven must be hands-on, from youth training to scouting, training to competition, he is in charge of everything. At that time, there was no such a complete and sound management team. The first-team coaching staff may take all the work in three or four people. Body.


    Now I''m a little bit powerless, and I still hold everything in my hands. That''s definitely not enough energy.


    After more than an hour, Holier came out of the operating room safely. He had fallen asleep, and the doctor informed Hollyer''s family about his physical condition in detail.


    The danger of life is resolved, but Hollier must rest and recuperate and need a period of convalescence.


    In other words, Hollier could not return to Liverpool''s coaching job in a short period of time, unless, he died!


    Aldridge and Ferguson, as well as some Premier League coaches, did not pay attention to the change in the position of Liverpool coaches, and they were relieved to hear that Hollier stabilized from the dangerous situation.


    When he left the hospital, Aldridge lowered his head slightly, his expression still heavy.


    Holier''s outbreak this time may require a long period of rest.


    The so-called disease comes down like a mountain, the disease goes like a thread.


    At his age, the situation will be even worse.


    Aldridge suddenly thought: One day, will I become Holier like this?


    It was almost early in the morning when I returned to London, and along the way, Aldridge suddenly thought about his life.


    For other 25-26 year olds, this sounds a bit morbid.


    But Aldridge''s mental age is over 50 years old, and he has indeed reached the mental state of self-thinking about the topic of life.


    Witnessing Holier¡¯s critical illness, his family¡¯s worries, and the people¡¯s hearts, accompanied by unstoppable worries like floods, made Audridge have to reexamine his life.


    Greed and ambition also come at a price.


    This is the deepest feeling after he coached the England national team. He has to race against time every day. The schedule is very tight. There is only a little breathing space after achieving a staged goal. For example, the England team has entered the World Cup finals. However, after the results of the World Cup group draw next month, the national team''s work will become increasingly heavy.


    Burt and Earl had fallen asleep, and Ewen sat in the living room watching TV in her pajamas. When Aldridge came back, she saw that Aldridge had a bad complexion and whispered about Hollier, Aldridge. Say something casually and go upstairs to bathe, ready to rest.


    While lying on the bed, Yiwen whispered: "Do you want to talk? You have something to worry about."


    "I don''t know what to talk about."


    "Maybe starting today, I should have some restrictions on you."


    "what?"


    "You have to rest on time to ensure enough sleep, and I will never allow you to work in the study until late at night. Aldrich, I can''t imagine that if one day you are suddenly ill, think about it all Nightmare."


    "Ugh¡­¡­"


    "Don''t sigh! This is a very serious topic. You are not alone, you have a family, you have many people who care about you, and many people who need you to care."


    Aldridge hugged her shoulders, twisted her face and kissed her gently, softly: "Got it."


    From this day on, Aldridge''s daily work and rest time has been supervised by Yiwen to ensure his health.


    The next day, Aldridge and many of the Premier League coaches also expressed their blessings to Hollier. Hollier suffered a heart attack on the court, which also aroused the concern of the community on the health of football coaches.


    In the middle of the week, the first stage of the Champions League group stage battle continued, and Millwall returned to Glasgow in the fourth round of back-to-back games after defeating the Celtics at home in the previous round.


    The group that Millwall is in is called the death group.


    After three rounds, there was no draw.


    Millwall won 9 points in three games.


    Juventus, Porto and Celtics are all 1 wins, 2 losses and 3 points.


    Millwall basically locked in the qualifying position as long as he won in the fourth round, and basically locked the group first.


    In this game, Millwall is still doing his best. There is no sign of water retention, because their next league schedule will be easier, and they will give the substitutes some time. Aldridge also considers that there will be a FIFA game in the latter part of the game.


    Coming to the home of the Celtics, Millwall''s players were in a trance, feeling like they had gone to the wrong place.


    On the stands of the Celtic Park stadium, Scottish fans sang the song "You will never walk alone".


    Just three days ago, the Millwall team was just shocked by this song at Anfield. I did not expect to come to Scotland and relive the feeling of being at Anfield.


    In the past, Millwall had a friendly match with the Celtics, but had not played in Glasgow, so I couldn''t feel the authentic fan atmosphere of this club.


    The Celtics and Liverpool¡¯s team songs are the same, and the two clubs also maintain a good relationship. In the original history, the two teams played against each other. Diouf, who played for Liverpool, made an extreme celebration after the goal was scored. Fans of this team strongly condemned.


    Martin O''Neill and Aldridge kept a high concentration of spirits after a brief greeting before the game.


    This game is a life-and-death battle for the Celtics.


    The strongest Millwall in this group, they first finished two confrontations. If they can win today or have a draw, then there is really a chance in the last two rounds!


    Because the atmosphere of this stadium makes the players feel "dangerous" inside, it seems that they have returned to Anfield, so they don''t dare to be slight in the game.


    The Celtic manpower figure slowed down the game and used the ground section that Scottish football is good at to kill Millwall''s fighting spirit, trying to seize Millwall''s mental relaxation at a certain time for a sudden attack.


    This is Martin O''Neill''s tactical arrangement.


    A pure tie may be crushed by Millwall''s offensive.


    The Celtics must strategically look for opportunities.


    But Millwall has become very old.


    It''s not just blindly speeding up the game on the court.


    The Celtics slowed down, killing their opponents, and Millwall, under the adjustment of Pirlo''s field control, ruled his own way with his own way.


    Millwall rarely speeds up the entire game and slows down to play.


    The Celtics wanted to catch Millwall''s slack, and Millwall in turn caught the flaws that appeared after the Celtics'' impatience.


    78 minutes before the game broke the deadlock, Klose helped Millwall open the record.


    In the last 10 minutes, it became crazy, the Celtics fell behind, and no matter how scrambled to catch up, Millwall exploded all his accumulated physical energy, and scored two goals in the last 10 minutes, Ronaldinho scored twice to help Millwall beat the Celtics 3-0 away.


    Martin O''Neill felt frustrated with the result. The most important game of the giants is often the first ball.


    If the weak team scores, the weak team''s defense will be more firm. The giants will break through first, and the opponent''s defense will be loosened, giving the giants more opportunities.


    In another game, Juventus won Porto at home, Millwall made 12 points ahead, Juventus scored 6 points, and the Celtics and Porto scored 3 points.


    With the last two rounds left, the fate of these three teams is unpredictable because Juventus will be the Lion King Stadium in the fifth round!

 Chapter 685： provocative

    Before the fifth round of the Champions League, Millwall achieved 1 win and 1 draw in two league games.


    What is more depressing for the fans is that Lampard and Joe Cole joined forces to help Tottenham draw Millwall at the last moment.


    Aldridge was troubled by reporters after the game and asked what it was like to be attacked by "own".


    Aldridge replied with a smile: "Seeing Lampard, Joe Cole, Ashley Cole perform stably and well in Tottenham, you should ask Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Leeds United Wait what the team feels."


    Although Millwall lost 2 points to Tottenham, they had enough room to lose points. Leaving aside the game, the three players of Lampard loaned Tottenham to let other Premier League giants look in their eyes and envy them. Jealous and hate!


    There is no doubt that Millwall''s future is strongly guaranteed!


    At the same time, in the League Cup, Millwall''s backup lineup eliminated Chelsea, a rival in the quarter-finals, which made the fans very excited. In the semi-finals, they will have two rounds of matches with Tottenham.


    The fifth round of the Champions League came as scheduled. On the eve of Juventus'' visit to the Lion King Stadium, the conflict between Aldridge and Mogi after the last game, or grudges, was once again hyped by Fleet Street.


    Aldrich avoids talking about the incident that has been downplayed, and makes a provocative statement about the game itself.


    "Millwall will send a full bench to play tomorrow. We are already ahead of the game. I will go to Japan to participate in the Toyota Cup at the end of the month. I need to give the main team some rest time, and the last game was in Turin. Juventus did not cause us trouble. However, Juventus now has 6 points, and the other two teams have 3 points. Juventus came here to play away. I think they will definitely stay dead. As long as they get 1 point, they can ensure that they will play in the final round. Before, occupying the second place and having a certain advantage in promotion, it does not matter that Millwall¡¯s goal is to train troops, and he does not care what Juventus thinks. Anyway, they have no courage and strength to take the victory in London."


    When it comes to Lippi, Aldridge''s tone has also become somewhat arrogant.


    "He is a championship coach and my predecessor, but with Juventus under his hands now, I don¡¯t see any signs of threat to Millwall. It¡¯s just that set, defense, counterattack, Defensive, counterattack, when Juventus can play a magnificent attack of the level of Millwall, it is possible to cause us trouble. I have no intention to evaluate the style of football, but if the Premier League giants play conservatively, they will be criticized by fans, despite that It will make it easier to win, but me, and my team Millwall, we are pursuing and unwavering."


    To play psychological warfare, you must offend people.


    This is Aldrich¡¯s experience over the years, but a rational opponent will understand that this is within the scope of his career and should not be brought into personal relationships.


    Just like when Aldridge played against Leicester City in the past, he also bluntly said that Leicester City played too conservatively against defense, and O''Neill also satirized Aldridge''s "forgetting": Millwall did not rely on defensive counterattacks. Started from scratch?


    Privately, the relationship between the two is not affected by the contest at the working level.


    Lippi said in response: "Aldrich Hall has been successful over the years and has become arrogant and disrespectful of his opponents. Millwall has a persistent pursuit. Can''t other teams have football? There is no uniform in football. Standards. If it weren¡¯t for Millwall to be extremely powerful now, why did Aldridge have the confidence to say so?"


    Aldridge appeared in the stadium twenty minutes before the game. He sat in an empty place in the nearby stands and chatted with the BBC reporter. The other party relayed Lippi''s remarks to him.


    Aldridge laughed: "Oh, when Millwall first played against Juventus, Juventus was the Champions League in 1996 and the runner-up in the Champions League in 1997. How strong was Juventus? Say more? But what? Juventus didn¡¯t play a gorgeous offense at the time. Even when facing us, it was slightly conservative. At that time, we were not even league champions."


    BBC reporter Paul nodded with a smile. On the club''s highest competitive stage in Europe, England has been proud of it in recent years. Since 1998, 98, 99, 2000, 2001, the Premier League team won the championship for four consecutive years. Manchester United once, Milwaukee Three times, when he came to the European War, Millwall was the most popular star team in England and the first battlefield to be championed, protected, and even engaged in a vicious battle with foreign media on Fleet Street.


    However, Paul was still a little puzzled. He asked: "Millwall has already qualified early, but you have provoked the anger of Juventus against this background, which is difficult to see in other teams, because the same situation , Other teams will face the game with a relaxed attitude, and you will send a substitute lineup, but also put on a posture to fight hard with Juventus, is this not very contradictory?"


    To fight, we must definitely show the strongest strength.


    But Millwall did the opposite.


    Aldridge smiled slightly and said, "Millwall is not another team. For Millwall to continue to succeed, it is necessary to create a suitable growth atmosphere for young people. At the same time, they must also cultivate their temperament when they are young. You Question, the answer will be complicated, let''s watch the game."


    After speaking, Aldridge got up and left, signed some fans, and finally walked to the side of the stadium to stand still.


    After Lippi played, the two shook hands like water and then walked away.


    Despite Aldridge''s success, Lippi had an inexplicable contempt for Aldridge at the moment.


    After all, the other party is young!


    Some achievements have been made, and they will forget.


    I thought I could be invincible in the world, and there was no one in my eyes!


    It''s justifiable to think about it. Three consecutive championships in the league and the successful defending of the Champions League. With such merits, who can calm down?


    Moreover, Aldridge is still a young man less than 30 years old.


    Millwall sent a full bench to fight at home, and Audridge released a rant before the game.


    Lippi was not angry but happy.


    If Millwall does his best, he will naturally play extremely oppressive at home, and Juventus will be very dangerous.


    But if Millwall thinks that the bench can win Juventus, this is a bit arrogant!


    As long as Millwall is attacking, Juventus'' counterattack can hit Millwall''s defense line at any time.


    He has got the starting list, Aldridge did not put out smoke bombs, and made him fall to the ground with a big rock.


    As long as Juventus does not lose in this game, the initiative to qualify will be firmly in his hands.


    Players from both sides entered the battlefield. The mad lion''s lineup today seems to make the fans in the stands as time goes by, returning to the era of the mad lion''s youth storm sweeping Europe.


    From the beginning of the game, Lippi suddenly frowned.


    The situation on the court is strange.


    Juventus'' attack was slightly aggressive!


    After watching the game for 10 minutes, he suddenly widened his eyes.


    One thing is missing!


    Aldridge''s provocation before the game, the goal is not only coach Lippi!


    In the last game in Turin, Juventus lost extremely badly, and the team spent more than 100 million euros in the summer. The crazy investment made the team not dare to leave Zidane and Inzaghi after leaving. Said not to fall but to rise, at least there is no obvious decline.


    Aldridge said before the game that Juventus did not cause them trouble, which is obviously contempt for Juventus'' strength.


    In this game, Juventus originally came to London with the determination of revenge. As a result, Millwall was not in the main lineup, which made them resentful!


    Facing the mad lion 2 team, why does Juventus retreat? Is there any reason to play conservatively?


    Players have a tone of voice, but also have the dignity of the strong. At least Juventus, Buffon, Trezeguet, Piero, Thuram, etc., who will feel like Billia, Alonso, Balzali still needs to play conservatively?


    They can¡¯t change when the crazy lions are on the bench, but since they are despised, they will clear up their opponents in the game, no, it¡¯s better to abuse!


    Let the crazy lion get a painful lesson!


    Players in the Juventus formation, even players like Trezeguet and Thuram, who have a strong mad lion background, seem to have forgotten one thing.


    Millwall started in 1996, and in more than five years, the European War home has not failed!


    During this period, Millwall¡¯s tradition has been followed, and he will also be a substitute player in the European war. In the past few years, he will train after the early appearance, but at home, no opponent can take the victory!


    After 20 minutes of play, the score was still 0:0 and Lippi stood up.


    He feels the same as the live audience, the audience watching the live broadcast in front of the TV.


    The situation is very different from what was expected!


    Aldridge was so crazy before the game, what happened?


    Millwall **** is playing the ultimate defensive counterattack at home!


    Out of the three-back, De Rossi, Pedretti, Alonso!


    With double forwards in the front, Kaka became the front, the two forwards are Klose and Villa, and they both returned to the half to participate in defense!


    Juventus'' paper strength is definitely stronger than Millwall''s backup lineup, and the gap is above a level gap. That is to say, Juventus is at the top of the first class. Millwall''s backup lineup has the most. It is only at the top of the second-rate, but under the lack of experience of De Rossi and Kaka, the 11 players who are now starting, the strength level is only the second-rate middle reaches.


    It is also because of the obvious strength gap that Juventus is mainly anti-guest, and the more aggressive the more aggressive, the more aggressive the more aggressive.


    Metzelder and Balzali performed better this season than last season, although one-on-one will definitely not be able to stop Piero and Trezeguet. The victory over Millwall squeezed each other''s offensive space. At the same time, three With two players in the waist frequently withdrawing to the back line, Millwall is using the defensive number to avoid getting an excellent opportunity by the opponent. In this way, still can''t completely limit Juventus'' offense, but the opponent''s shooting chance is not particularly good. Palyuka kept the gates high and low.


    In the 23rd minute, Millwall''s counterattack for the fifth time in the game hit a threat!


    Klose and Villa on the front line of the offensive two consecutive one-on-one cooperation to advance the attack to the front of the Juventus penalty area. When facing the third defender of the opponent''s back line, Villa ran out of position, Klose took the ball, Juve The Tus defense line was shocked.


    Klose did not pass the ball to Villa, but knocked horizontally. After inserting a striking figure from the back to touch the ball, he traveled forward and entered the Juventus penalty area with unparalleled momentum. The speed is fast and direct Break through the back line and face the door **** Buffon.


    Kaka, the Son of God!

 Chapter 686： Hit your own face

    The Lion King Stadium was tumultuous, and the fans in the stands were waving to the team, even if Millwall did not send a main player.


    This is because Millwall, even with a young lineup, can still make the game full of passion, unlike some teams that have become unappreciative after changing to the bench.


    The main force can kick out the dazzling and delicate coordination, and the offensive of the flowing clouds is higher than the waves.


    The bench can''t afford to be elegant, can''t beat the majesty of bombardment, but returns to the original, straightforward interpretation of speed and passion.


    Fans are also very much looking forward to the performance of the young guys, just as they have witnessed Shevchenko''s stunned head, and the header broke the goal and hit the goal post. The Ronaldinho got rid of the long-distance attack and shined the FA Cup final The clever rush shot at the Charity Shield was a blockbuster...Now, the focus of their attention is on the Brazilian who was introduced by Audridge in the summer.


    Crazy Lion fans don¡¯t care that the media reveals that Kaka had a spinal injury, or that Kaka hadn¡¯t even played a professional game before coming to Millwall. Their respect and trust for Aldridge was almost blind.


    Aldridge said he was a genius!


    He is definitely a genius!


    Now, geniuses are to shine at the Lion King Stadium!


    Juventus, Serie A giants.


    European Championship Cup.


    Such a stage should be where you prove your name as a genius!


    Kaka, a brave and dynamic Brazilian, is like a lion who has just grown up and run wild in the eyes of crazy lion fans.


    The TV broadcast lens did not keep up with the whole picture, but the crazy lion fans saw it very clearly in the stands. When Klose caught the ball in the middle circle and started to make a two-on-one match with Villa, he moved forward quickly. The figure rushed forward from Millwall''s penalty area, the speed increased all the way, faster and faster, faster and faster, and the goal from Juventus was getting closer and closer!


    In front of the line of the big penalty area, Kaka killed, Klose came at the right time to divide the ball, Kaka led the ball forward, and the empty space between Thuram and Montero was the passage for Kaka to enter the restricted area. People were watching Klose and Villa respectively. Ferrara blocked Klose diagonally on the other side. Kaka''s accidental killing caused Juventus'' three-back system to collapse instantly.


    After dribbling into the penalty area, Kaka looked at Buffon''s position. He could still continue to dribble forward, but he no longer hesitated. At Millwall, the coach who taught him told him clearly. Now At this stage, if you have a chance to shoot, don''t think too much, observe, calm down, develop this habit, and improve the confidence of shooting. Don''t hesitate, don''t think about how sure you are, try to increase the probability of goals, etc. Wait.


    Shooting in the penalty area, the more you adjust, the easier you miss the opportunity.


    Kaka kicked his foot decisively. His footwork was very good. In the case of no interference, he chose to shoot at the near corner of the goal. Buffon''s position was somewhat on the other side. In fact, Buffon was moving towards the near corner, but Kaka observed the movement of his standing position, which made Buffon hesitate. He saw Kaka lifted his feet, afraid of being hit at the opposite corner, that is, the far corner, and hesitated for less than half a second. , The ball at the foot of Kaka burst out!


    The ball is like a dead corner where the shooting star hangs at the near corner of the goal!


    The ball was clean and clear, like a master move, the sword flashed, and the head fell!


    "The goal is scored! The goal is scored! Kaka, Kaka, the Brazilian who recently joined Millwall in the summer, the lucky guy, came to play in the top European giants at the age of less than 20 years old. Less than half a year after his career debut, he scored his first goal on the stage of the European Champions Cup! He is a talented player handpicked by Hall, who can be seen through his limited appearances in recent months , He has great potential to look forward to, "Times" column reporter David Miller wrote in a newspaper published today: Although Kaka and Nedved are not the same type of player, but Hall¡¯s coaching Style, he is the coach who will tailor the tactics for the players. This is his advantage and the luck of playing for him. If Kaka can reach the heights expected by fans, then he must be a unique star player in the future. He is a candidate to succeed Nedved in the future, which is correct in terms of age, but in terms of team skills and tactics, this is completely wrong. As Kaka''s playing time increases, we understand that he has his own unique Advantages, tonight''s Champions League game, Kaka is very promising to start, even if it is not a starter, I believe Hall will give him a certain time to feel the atmosphere of the field, I hope this Brazilian guy can withstand the pressure and perform well. David Mi Le has high expectations for Kaka. Kaka debuted today and helped the team set the record for the first time. Come on, we look forward to the day when Kaka can become a main force in the mad lion formation!"


    After Kaka scored a goal, he twirled his fingers in excitement. After thanking God, he rushed to the coach seat around the sidelines.


    Aldridge smiled ecstatically for a long time, and when Kaka rushed over, he caught Kaka¡¯s neck with his arm and held it in his arms. Kaka hugged Aldridge¡¯s waist and was completely upright because of the court Teammates, some players from the bench also came around, Ronaldinho jumped to Kaka¡¯s back, and after Aldridge released Kaka, Ronaldinho fisted on his back and waved, seeming to score more than himself on the field. Still happy.


    Kaka was not only excited by his goal, but also proud of playing the mad lion. After coming to Millwall, he blended into the environment here, and became enchanted under the Aldridge tent, and gradually learned the extraordinaryness of this coach. Place.


    Training is never complicated, and requires simple and clear instructions, so that players can clearly understand what to do after playing, and their heads will not be confused.


    Today this game also opened his eyes.


    At the pre-game preparation meeting yesterday, Aldridge said that he would play the ultimate anti-anti-tactics today, and arranged the players on the field in detail, but Kaka got up today to read the news and found out that Aldrich¡¯s His remarks are different from what he said on the team. He came to the team today and ran to ask Aldridge if the team wanted to change tactics without notifying him? Aldridge smiled and explained to him the purpose of psychological warfare, which made Kaka suddenly realize.


    When Kaka walked back to the field, there was already a lot of cheers from the stands, and the fans shouted his name in unison.


    "Kaka, Kaka, Kaka!"


    It has to be said that with Kaka Junlang''s appearance and wide open style of play, he is very lovable. Although he is a Brazilian, he is not as sticky and tricky as the Brazilians on the court.


    Although many highly-qualified fans of the crazy lion hate the outside world to compare Kaka to Nedved, the tough temperament of Nedved is that the fans think he is unique and others can''t compare with it, but Now, they treat Kaka as if they were a new child, with a love and encouragement mentality. To say that Kaka¡¯s supporters are naturally female fans.


    Lippi looked somber.


    After Kaka scored a goal, he completely understood.


    Got fucked!


    It''s totally tricked!


    What Aldridge said before the game was all shit!


    Satire Juventus played conservatively?


    Fuck!


    Millwall played more than twenty minutes today, playing absolutely conservatively, the ultimate defensive counterattack!


    Four guards and three backs, the attack depends on the three in front, the routine is to counterattack!


    What qualification does Aldrich have to mock Juventus?


    Lippi was awakened at this time, and it would seem that Aldridge slammed Juventus because of his grievances with Mogi. It seemed that Aldridge had lost his demeanor. The head is disgusting.


    In fact, Aldridge is to create a favorable environment for this game.


    Football is a very wonderful sport, Klose, Villa, Kaka, these three individuals come out one-on-one, and now they do not have the advantage in front of Montero, Thuram, Ferrara.


    However, in an environment where there is a huge space for counterattack, Millwall started from the midfield and actually completed a 3 5 counterattack!


    The paper strength is not as good as you, but can penetrate the Juventus defense line through tacit cooperation, good awareness, grasping opportunities at critical moments, and so on.


    Davis, Tachnadi, Thuram, Montero, Ferrara, failed to block Millwall''s offense in this defense.


    Of course, this is not to say that every time Millwall succeeds in playing 3-5. This is their fifth attempt, but they have failed in the first 4 attempts, but they have figured out their opponent''s defensive strategy and targeted the success rate of counterattacks.


    This is why Aldridge has been excited for a long time.


    Millwall''s backup lineup is certainly not as good as Juventus. Since I am not as good as you, if I still have to fight with a swollen face to become a fat man to suppress an offensive offense or strive to balance between offense and defense, this is definitely the behavior of Yelang arrogant.


    That''s why he mocked Juventus, and tried to provoke Juventus.


    I want to fight back, first let you attack!


    The more Juventus attacked, the greater the backcourt vacancy, the more favorable Millwall''s counterattack.


    If this lineup played against Juventus last year, Aldridge did not dare to provoke Juventus before the game, because it is likely to be crushed by the other party¡¯s aggressive attack, but this season¡¯s strength of the bench lineup, especially the defensive progress The larger, he is more confident.


    "Haha, the camera caught Hall showing an evil smile on the sidelines. Now think about how awful he is! Before the game, he announced how gorgeous Millwall would play offensive football, slamming Juventus would only play defensive football, hahaha In the game, the situation was not the same thing at all. Juventus offensive was fierce. Millwall was pressed in the forty yard area in front of the door. Six or seven players were purely defensive and played Juventus counterattack. Hall himself Beat your own face, but now the score is Millwall leading 1:0!"


    Fans in the stands are taken for granted. They never spend their time guessing what tactics the team will play. In the past few years, they have been "deceived" by Aldridge N times in the past few years. If they really take Aldridge''s remarks before the game seriously, If you can''t do it, you will be depressed.


    "Oh, Italians are stupid!"


    "They don''t understand what psychological warfare is."


    "Hey, we stand and speak without backache. Juventus was mocked by Aldridge as a client. Who could not have heard it? There must be a change in mentality."


    "Actually, their mentality has not changed, and we are not afraid of them."


    "That''s wrong, Juventus is also an Italian giant. If they face the game calmly, our two teams may not even get a chance to fight back, just like we played Kyle in the last round. The special game creates patience more patiently and makes the opponent''s psychological depression, and will be forced to make mistakes within 90 minutes."


    "You are right."


    There is no shortage of excellent academic coaches in Italy, but these coaches are inevitably following the rules or trying to show their cultivation. Serie A coaches rarely fight psychological wars, especially not like the Premier League. To the point.


    Another point is that Serie A¡¯s coach¡¯s ¡°dignity¡± is not as good as the Premier League coaches. They are used to the days when they can¡¯t wait. They are the victims of the club''s whistle-blowing, so they have little right to speak in their foreign speeches. Playing psychological warfare can easily destroy the relationship between the clubs, especially causing the hostility of the fans.

 Chapter 687： Same strategy

    Before the Juventus expedition to London, the Italian media had issued concerns and doubts about Juventus.


    The reason is Lippi¡¯s tactics. After winning three straight games in the season, Juventus entered a wave of six wins. Lippi, the tactical master, decisively changed his formation and changed from 442 to 352 before this game. In the Serie A, he achieved a record of 1 win and 1 draw. The record has improved, but it has not yet reached the level of success. 352 is not possible, and he is still exploring and experimenting.


    When Aldridge led his team to challenge other teams, wherever the opponent put up a 3-guard formation, regardless of the position in the middle and frontcourts, Millwall''s record was a victory. Of course, this ruled out that year with Bayern Munich on the road The game of the draw, after all, Bayern''s 3 defenders, of which Matteus, strictly speaking, is not a simple central defender.


    It seems that Aldridge has a lot of insight into the weakness of the third defender. The Italian media is worried that Lippi''s team may be defeated by his opponent.


    Fortunately, Millwall did not send the main force to debut, but at this time the score is still Millwall leading 1:0.


    Italy¡¯s on-site commentator said bluntly: ¡°Millwall broke the Juventus gate first with the bench. The process of losing the ball is clear. The three-backs seem to have increased the number of defenders, but in the most critical position. The defense is very weak. If Ferrara has the world-class level of the year, he will definitely be able to move to intercept Kaka for the first time, but after his serious injury, his strength is no longer than that. Alas, Lippi If you are determined to play a three-back, Juventus will probably introduce another world-class center defender, Nesta is a very good candidate."


    Lippi was also thinking about this at this time, from 442 to 352, not his deliberate change, because 442 proved that this tactic is not suitable for Juventus in a wave of six rounds, so it must be done Changes, as for how to change the best, Lippi also needs to re-examine the team.


    Now 0:1 behind, Lippi made some adjustments while thinking about midfield, but things that made him unexpected happened again soon.


    Juventus players were advanced by Millwall 2 team, players resented on the field!


    This is really about to lose. Seeing Jiang Dong''s father old!


    So they blushed their eyes and rushed to equalize the score.


    In a short period of time, the mentality has begun to be out of balance.


    Attacking, madly attacking, completely lost his mind


    Millwall resisted Juventus''s stormy offensive pressure tenaciously. In the 32nd minute, Trezeguet shot the ball at a small angle to the goal at a far angle, and the ball flew out of the bottom line under the interference of Barzali. The Millwall players were sweating.


    After 3 minutes, Piero swiftly grabbed the point to attack the goal, but fortunately Palyuka struggled to block the ball with his body to expand the defensive area, otherwise Millwall will be equalized.


    Juventus''s offensive went from wave to wave. From 25 minutes to 40 minutes, it was almost a bombardment of Millwall''s half.


    Millwall is in danger in the penalty area. Under the big scene of today, the rookie De Rossi was quite satisfactory at the beginning, and gradually lost some of the pressure. He frequently lost his position. There was only a ball in his eyes. He rushed to where the ball went. Where to intercept it is more like a **** stick. If Alonso didn''t help him frequently, he also had a lot of people in the lower back. I''m afraid this defender line completely lost the barrier protection.


    Aldridge was not surprised. He didn¡¯t expect De Rossi to play very well as soon as he debuted. Defensive players are not like offensive players. Offensive players are often easy to make their debut because opponents will despise and don¡¯t understand the technical characteristics of newcomers. , Will be caught off guard.


    Defensive players are the opposite. They didn¡¯t seek merit but did nothing at first, but it¡¯s not easy to say that they don¡¯t make mistakes in front of Juventus¡¯ top opponents.


    Therefore, Aldridge only released a three-pointer to improve the fault tolerance rate. At least two of the three players will be stable and there will be no major problems.


    And Juventus'' wave of mad attack can''t be beat for a long time, Millwall once again hit a fatal counterattack.


    This time it was Kaka who drove the ball from the backcourt to counterattack. On the way, he and Villa and Klose always maintained a three-legged momentum and moved forward. When they encountered Juventus'' siege, they passed the triangle to solve it.


    After seven passes and cooperation from the three, the three came to the opponent''s penalty area and Kaka scored before. This point was particularly noticeable. This time, Kaka went diagonally into the left rib of the penalty area.


    In an instant, Juventus'' defense line made a mistake. Thuram and Montero had signs of blocking the card. Villa in front of Montero conveniently tilted the opponent''s center of gravity after pulling the ball horizontally and shook it out of space. , Klose then inserted diagonally behind Monteiro, Villa straight, Klose took the lead, Ferrara laterally intercepted, Klose smashed anti-Ferrara behind, this rhythm stopped Suddenly, Klose crossed the ball with Ferrara, and took another step forward to shoot out!


    Buffon was brave and fell to the ground to block Klozer''s imperative shot!


    In fact, the step that Klizedo took, instead, narrowed the angle!


    However, Klose, a sharp-eyed shooter, did not just watch after the shot. Buffon did not fully embrace the ball. The ball was blocked by him and popped in front of him for three meters. Buffon stood up and looked forward to Pressing the ball with a hungry tiger pressed the ball under him, but Klose stretched out the foot to poke the ball with his toes.


    Buffon stared dumbly as the ball rolled over his armpit, immediately closed his eyes and lowered his head, he had already heard the cheers of the fans on the spot.


    The ball also rolled into the goal without suspense.


    "2:0! 2:0! Klose helped Millwall lead by two goals! If any fans must ask how powerful Millwall is? Open your eyes and see! They don¡¯t have a main player today, but Can get a two-ball lead over Juventus! Yes, it may seem that Millwall is passive on the scene, but they are making Juventus fall into the abyss through a steadfast counterattack! Millwall has Hall, a tactical master, has such promising young geniuses as Klose, Villa, Kaka, Alonso and so on! They can completely rule European football for a long time. As Englishmen, we are together Witness how long the brilliance of the mad lion dynasty will last!"


    Aldridge looked at the lads at the celebration and was also happy for them, waving his fists up and down in front of him for a moment.


    Juventus players look dignified, of course they will not be discouraged.


    The superficial argument is that Millwall led the score by sneak attack.


    Strength is definitely Juventus dominant.


    At the end of the first half, the score was 2:0, and Millwall unexpectedly led the bench with two goals at home.


    Juventus on the scene is not without opportunities, but to say that the environment of the last blow is naturally not as good as the opportunities that Millwall bred in the counterattack.


    Aldridge carefully arranged his tactics during the halftime, and at the same time raised his life against De Rossil, let him calm down first and review his performance in the first half. It cannot be said that he performed badly, even in this scene today. He lacked a lot of experience in the field and performed well.


    In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought.


    Lippi returned to the coach seat and sat down, his expression returning to normal.


    Juventus is the main attack, which is understandable. From the first minute on the situation, they can get a good result as long as they hold the draw. They have the advantage of promotion before the final round of the group stage. However, because Millwall sent the bench, they On the contrary, because of the strong team''s face or dignity, they must take the initiative to attack, even on the road.


    After losing the ball, this offense can''t be stopped at all. If you lose this game, it will be a tragedy if the final round is not done well.


    The offense still needs to be attacked, but how to attack and how to turn the advantage into a goal will test the ability of the head coach.


    Lippi''s adjustment in the midfield is reflected in the second half.


    Juventus still have the advantage and initiative on the field, but they are not eager to play threatening. Millwall''s four backs and three backs protect the inside and outside of the restricted area tightly, passing the threats rashly, and the success rate is very low.


    They pass the ball patiently on the periphery, control the ball, frequently transfer transfers, using the width of the field to tear Millwall''s defensive formation.


    Aldrich was not surprised to see this.


    If Juventus played so patiently from the beginning, Millwall would be very passive today, and this play is not new.


    Football tactics are connected in many places. The last time Millwall played the Celtics away, Juventus played the same strategy against Millwall in the second half of the scene. They did not blindly pursue fast pace and ensured control of the ball. Be patient and wait until the opponent''s defense line is slightly loose or flawed, then hit a sudden acceleration of attack to create a threat.


    This method of creating threats is actually similar to Barcelona''s Tiki-Taka tactical essence.


    In terms of tactical nature, Tiki-Taka uses the ball to create offensive space.


    For example, when attacking on the left, the opponent¡¯s defense on this side will increase the strength. At this time, if the attack is suddenly transferred to the right, the attack space on the right will become invisible.


    As for short pass, it is just a means.


    If a long pass can achieve a success rate of more than 85%, you will definitely use a long pass to control the ball. This ball control does not refer to dribbling, but to ensure possession of the ball. Barcelona, ??Spain, why use a short pass to go back and forth The foot makes some fans feel boring, because short pass is the most successful ball control method on the football field. Compared with dribbling and breakthrough, long pass transfer, short pass is undoubtedly the most stable, but the most stable is the most stable It''s difficult to create highlights, so some people find watching Barcelona a drowsy game, and it''s only exciting when the star shines.


    To say how shocking Tiki-Taka is, it is nonsense. In the offensive methods of the top giants, there will be tactical options similar to Tiki-Taka. For example, Juventus is playing like this now, but the top giants prefer diversification. The offensive style, the breakthrough of the wing, the cut of the middle, the personal performance, the long-range power, the rhythm frequency conversion and so on, but Barcelona has trained Tiki-Taka to the extreme.


    Aldridge was also thinking sometimes, how he now coaches Milwall when he meets the Cosmos team Barcelona, ??how to crack the opponent''s set of play, he came to a hypothetical conclusion that frustrated him, maybe 55 Situation.


    Especially when Barcelona puts the ball to its peak, you can¡¯t ask the players to rush to the ground to furiously snatch, so that will only reveal more free time, and the opponent is in possession of the ball more than 60% of the time. Opportunities for attack will be reduced invisibly.


    Just like now, Juventus is not in a hurry, the Millwall formation is pressed forty yards in front of the door, and there is no chance for a counterattack, because the opponent is not sure enough and will not easily give you the ball. Without a ball, how to fight back?

 Chapter 688： Significance

    Juventus'' three-back system was indeed stunned by Millwall''s counterattack. However, it is also nonsense to say that with the three-back system, Juventus will definitely lose.


    At least when they adopted a correct offensive strategy, Millwall''s threat of counterattack plummeted, and the pressure on the back defense suddenly eased.


    In the 56th minute, Piero found a short exposure in the penalty area. After catching the ball, he passed Barzali beautifully and got a chance of a single-shot. Palyuka once again blocked the Prince Zebra with his body. Must score!


    Aldrich saw this and knew that it would not work like this.


    Juventus is ultimately a strong team at the top of the class. Millwall''s backup lineup is at the top of the second-class level at home. At best, if the most threatening counterattack cannot be hit, you should recognize it. Reality, instead of blindly resisting, may seem brave, but the result will be tragic.


    Today this game is very important for young guys.


    If they lose, especially if the two-goal lead is reversed, the confidence blow to them will be huge, and if they win, they will be flat. It will be a great spiritual inspiration for them and will be of great benefit to their future development.


    In the 60th minute, Millwall made a substitution.


    "Milwall took the lead in substitutions, and Kaka, the scoring hero, was replaced. It was Gattuso who replaced him. It seems that Hall wants to keep the two goals."


    The Lion King Stadium gave warm applause to the goalkeeper Kaka.


    Aldridge put his eyes on the court after high-fiving with Kaka on the sidelines.


    After Gattuso played, he ran to Pedretti, Alonso, and De Rossi simply exchanged a few sentences and then stood in his place.


    Millwall, with a four-pointer!


    Of course, instead of standing in line, Gattuso was in the middle, Pedretti and De Rossi were on both sides, who was in danger on both sides, Gattuso could support, Alonso was in front of Gattuso The job is the midfielder, standing in the center-forward position, Klose withdrew the midfielder, Villa single forward.


    To say a specific formation, it is 4411.


    Juventus fully exerted his true strength in the second half. After Millwall''s substitutions, the key lower back area was adjusted, and the adjustment was not small. The players were familiar with the main substitutes. In the process of establishing a tacit understanding of cooperation, this period of defense will be a little flawed, Juventus, decisively caught!


    In the 63rd minute, Davis dashed behind De Rossi, then scored the ball and then cut in. After attracting Metseld''s attention, Zhisai handed the ball to Trezeguet. The latter did not waste a good opportunity this time. The ball turned half and turned and shot, but Palyuka failed to close the corner. Trezeguet also played this ball very tricky, hanging upright at the top of the upper corner of the goal.


    "Juventus pulled a ball back, and the suspense of the game was back. I don¡¯t know if Hall would make another substitution adjustment after the goal was dropped. Ronaldinho and Ronaldinho were sitting on the bench. Larson, what about Nedved?"


    Juventus pulled a goal back, the momentum was stronger, Millwall was shortened the gap, and the fighting spirit was more vigorous. There was only one goal gap, and then another goal was scored, then the victory became a draw.


    Aldrich knows clearly that if he gets another goal, no matter what time, Millwall''s mentality of the backup lineup will collapse, and Juventus is not impossible to complete the reversal.


    However, he has not made other adjustments. Gattuso came on the court, the signal has been released, and the team''s thinking should be more unified.


    The strength is not as good as the team of Juventus.


    Aldridge didn''t have the idea of ??competing for face, otherwise, he simply sent all the main players to play.


    Training young people has always been from the defense. This is a tradition established by Aldridge over seven years of coaching and one of his styles.


    Since helping the team to reach a new glory last season, Gattuso''s spirit has been renewed, and may not be seen in the main lineup, but in the bench lineup, he played on the court, although he lost the ball, but there is no slightest Panic, storms and waves have been experienced, throw a ball, panic!


    He encouraged his teammates to lead by example on the defensive line. After he was completely in the game, he used a sturdy style to drive the team''s momentum to compete with Juventus.


    Since then, Millwall''s danger in the restricted area has been reduced. Three midfielders in the four midfielders plus Alonso frequently blocked Juventus'' offensives in the periphery.


    As time went by one minute and one second, Juventus began to speed up the offensive rhythm in order to equalize the score, and players'' mentality also began to change.


    In the 81st minute, Davis was knocked down by De Rossi during the breakthrough, and was knocked down to the ground by De Rossi fiercely. Davis got up and pinched with De Rossi.


    De Rossi did not step back, his head directly against Davis'' sports glasses, and he looked like a hot little lion.


    Gattuso rushed to help De Rossi with his teammates for the first time. Instead of persuading him, the boy used to help De Rossi...


    The referee quickly quelled the player''s conflict, gave Juventus a free kick, and gave De Rossi a yellow card, Davis "innocent release".


    There was a boo in the Lion King Stadium, and the referee decided that the penalty was unfair.


    De Rossi was a little afraid in his heart. He was the captain in the youth team. As long as there were conflicts on the court, he was the first to rush to help his teammates. This habit cannot be changed. The conflict with Davis just brought himself With a yellow card, he didn''t know if this would make Aldridge scold him for not being calm enough.


    But when he looked at Aldridge with a lingering fear, he saw Aldridge''s mouth twitched and gave him a thumbs up gesture.


    This scene was also captured by the live camera.


    "It seems that Hall is not only angry about De Rossi''s foul, but also thumbs up to praise the other party. It should be to praise De Rossi''s courage."


    De Rossi had the bottom of his heart, and he was not afraid, and re-entered the battle.


    It''s definitely not a good thing to foul, but who can''t foul a defensive player who plays at the midfield?


    Aldridge really praised De Rossi''s courage, or his fiery temper, which Aldridge appreciated.


    On the football field, elegant, often refined, can make players outstanding, but also has a certain sense of distance.


    Like Zidane, Henry, Pirlo...


    They are good players, good teammates, and use the ball skills to drive the team forward, but football requires not only the ball skills, but also spiritual attributes.


    Can''t imagine that if Vieira, Keane does not have a half temper, will it be a world-class back?


    Although spiritual leaders do not require hot-tempered players, for example, Nedved is a spiritual leader with a strong fighting spirit, but some players should have a hot temper!


    A top team, a king-level team, a dynasty team like Millwall, there must be such a person in the team, because your opponent is not as good as you, it is likely to hurt you in a despicable way, Invading you, your temper is not hard enough, you may be bullied, and you will lose to your opponent, which will affect your strength.


    Millwall''s first team has such roles. Materazzi, Gattuso and Southgate can all stand up to defend the team at the crucial moment with tough guys or even villains!


    With little time left in the game, Juventus can''t stand the offensive. Millwall''s defense is more stable than before, because there are more defensive players and higher fault tolerance.


    Juventus'' positional battle is really not able to play fresh tricks, no matter how to pass in the outer periphery, it can''t tear out obvious emptiness. Simply come rough and long shot! Chong hanging!


    Millwall''s counterattack, which was silent for more than half an hour in the second half, regained his chance.


    With the failure of Juventus'' long-range shots and the rush to return without success, Millwall''s counterattack from defense to offense can be reorganized.


    But the effect is far from the first half.


    Klose and Villa could push the attack to Juventus'' penalty area, but could not break through the opposing defender''s line.


    Juventus three guards, three defenses and two, no problem at all!


    The fans in the stands are sorry.


    Two-person offense and three-person offense, the power gap is not simply a 1-2 person cooperation or point-to-point, at a glance, but if it is a 3-person, passing, running position, the offensive routines and changes that are bred are better than the two-person cooperation, the gap is Geometrically multiplied.


    And Juventus is not the kind of opponent who counterattacks, a team that can be single-handed if it is over the top.


    When Millwall returned without success, Aldridge would applaud Villa and Klose.


    In this environment, being able to score is magical, not scoring, and pushing the offense to Juventus'' penalty area is also a huge contribution, and it is very helpful to the team.


    At the very least, Juventus'' formation will retreat while defending, giving Millwall a breathing space for back defense. When Juventus attacks again, everything will start again.


    Juventus was mad, and Lippi felt stumped.


    Before the game was ridiculed by Aldridge, but in the game, the opponent put the bus shamelessly!


    And still have a very good level bus!


    If it weren''t for Juventus when the defense was adjusted, maybe the score was still 2:0.


    In the last minute of injury stoppage time, Piero attempted a personal breakthrough on the line of the penalty area. Metzelder and Gattuso hit the ball before and after the ball and fell in the penalty area. The referee said nothing, and the Juventus players also Without too much protest, Piero fell, but he himself fell after being caught by Metzelder. If a penalty was awarded, it would be far-fetched.


    Gattuso tackled the ball with a big foot, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game.


    "The fifth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage ended. Millwall defeated Juventus 2-1 at home, and Millwall, who came off the bench, scored two in the first half. In the second half, Juventus seized the opportunity to get a goal back, and then there was also a chance to equalize the score, but the young guys of Millwall, with their determined will, strong fighting spirit, and courage to fight, won the victory with excellent performance. Hold it firmly in hand. This is a victory that may not be of high value to Millwall at the moment, because they advanced to the second stage of the group stage before the game, but for Millwall''s long-term construction Of ordinary significance, this season they have won two championships, the Charity Shield and the European Super Cup. One week later, they will travel to Japan to fight for the third championship, the Toyota Cup! Relying on the bench lineup in the League Cup, they also entered After the quarter-finals, we have reason to expect that this season''s Millwall will gain more trophies. At present, there is no team that can challenge Millwall''s kingship. Perhaps, Real Madrid of Spain is eligible... ¡­"

 Chapter 689： Welcome baptism

    After the game Lippi waited for Aldridge to shake hands with him and walked into the player''s tunnel. Juventus players also left the court quickly with an unwilling expression.


    News came from another venue that Porto defeated the Celtics.


    Juventus is in danger.


    They have the same score as Porto, and the same record for home and away engagements. If the two teams have the same score after the last round, they must compare the goal difference. Juventus played the Celtics in the last game. Porto will be the Lion King Stadium. .


    If Millwall releases water, it is entirely possible to put Juventus out!


    Lippi got the news and left only one sentence at the post-match press conference.


    "Millwall''s unbeaten record at home in Europe continues. At this Devil''s home, Millwall has a persistent belief in victory even if he qualify in advance. Today they exemplify this. I don''t know the next match against Porto. In the game, can they continue to maintain this belief."


    Apparently Lippi was putting pressure on Millwall.


    Will they shamelessly lose to Porto at home?


    Juventus not only have to defeat the Celtics, but may also have to consider a goal difference.


    Juventus and Porto''s goal difference, before this round, Juventus lead one, but after this round, Porto overtakes one. If the next round of Porto wins, Juventus'' prospects are very bad.


    When Aldridge attended the post-match press conference, the atmosphere was very pleasant.


    "Star" reporter quipped: "Yesterday you slammed Juventus''s conservative tactical style. Today''s game, Millwall is obviously the more conservative side. Do you admit this?"


    Aldrich haha ??smiled and said: "Acknowledge! Juventus is very powerful. Although Millwall is stronger than Juventus overall, but in terms of the strength of the players in the game, we are the weak side. We play conservatively. , Reasonable."


    Be more conservative?


    The Fleet Street reporter shook his head with a smile.


    This handsome is so thick-skinned.


    Clearly put the bus, and said to be more conservative?


    If you are more conservative, won''t you even be a striker?


    A reporter relayed Lippi''s post-match remarks and asked Audridge''s response.


    "Coach Lippi said halfway, Millwall certainly has a persistent belief in victory. This will never change, no matter whether we are strong or weak, but he seems to have something else in his words. I don¡¯t quite understand it. Maybe There will be such doubts in Italy, but Millwall will adhere to the consistent tradition, no matter who the opponent is, our heart for victory will not change."


    "In other words, will Millwall send the main force in the next game?"


    "Of course not. We have won the first place in the five-game victory. Next month we will have the Devil schedule and the Champions League. I will give the young guys more playing time. Through today''s victory over Juventus, they have gained Confident and more hungry for the game. If Porto wants to qualify, then they will go all out and win. No one will give away."


    ...


    The green field became king and defeated, Millwall defeated the main force of Juventus with the bench lineup, and all major European media touted Aldridge when writing battle reports or doing shows, of course, except for the Italian media.


    The game is difficult to see. Millwall won the victory with extreme anti-counterfeit, but this is not their main lineup, so it is even more obvious that he is a strategic strategist when he is placed on Aldridge.


    On the weekend, Millwall visited the Bright Stadium. The energetic main lineup of 5-ball blood-washed black cat Sunderland. Next, he was about to set off for Japan to participate in the Toyota Cup.


    At the same time, Manchester United''s November is like entering the winter and falling into the abyss of endless darkness.


    After Holier''s heart attack, Liverpool was taken over by an assistant coach as a temporary leader. Liverpool instead united and cleanly cut Manchester United 3-1.


    Manchester United next guest Highbury, and swallowed three shots and only defeated the North and returned.


    Back at home at the end of the month, at Old Trafford, the weak Chelsea this season continued the character of Manchester United nemesis and gave Manchester United a 0:3 defeat.


    1:3, 1:3, 0:3.


    Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea.


    Manchester United''s devil schedule in November was really devastated by the devil.


    After a three-game losing streak, Manchester United announced that they would withdraw from the league title less than half way after the start of the new season!


    After 15 rounds of battle, Millwall with 12 wins and 3 draws, no one will doubt that Millwall will win four consecutive league titles at the end of the season!


    Aldrich does not care about this. The league is a long-distance race, not a cup. The biggest opponent of the league is himself, not a certain team.


    If Millwall is lax at this time, Mo said that the league may be dangerous, and at the same time, because the spirit is lax and the state cannot be maintained and maintained well, it may also lay hidden dangers to other fronts.


    In this way, Aldridge has told the players many times in the past few years, and they all understand that sometimes, people always need some high goals to demand themselves, the striker should pursue the number of goals, and the defender should avoid losing the ball. When it comes to ugliness, midfielders will also want to scrub the data and the like. Take Aldridge himself. He wanted to take over the national team. Wasn''t it because of a new challenge?


    Only by having goals and pressures can we have great motivation.


    Before preparing to go to Japan, Aldridge came to the reserve team to wander around.


    After a brief chat with reserve coach Berne, he shouted to Ronaldo on the training ground: "Cristiano, come here."


    Cristiano Ronaldo has already started dressing up himself, and it is beautiful to be plain.


    However, young people are like this. They don''t like to dress up and pay attention to appearance. Usually they are either unconditional or have no capital.


    Ronaldo trot to Aldridge and asked, "What''s the matter?"


    "Be prepared and go to Japan with the first team tomorrow."


    "Don''t go, I stay to train."


    When Ronaldo finished speaking, he would turn around and go back to training.


    This kid is well-known for his hard work and talents, so he is the focus of every echelon. Although he does not have a leader''s temperament, he pays attention to his every move.


    The other reserve players also heard Aldridge''s words, and Ronaldo refused without hesitation. Everyone''s eyes widened.


    Is this kid too good?


    Cristiano Ronaldo actually has his own ideas. He participated in the Toyota Cup last year and won the championship. It doesn¡¯t matter whether he goes or not this year, and he feels that he is going on a holiday. Aldrich should not let him play. He was transferred to the first team.


    Recently, he is worrying. In the Premier League reserve league, his physical confrontation is obviously at a disadvantage. He also understands why Aldridge did not transfer him to the first team.


    Therefore, he must seize the time to train, strengthen his body, and when he wins the reserve team championship, he believes that he will definitely be able to enter the first team next season.


    Aldridge didn''t expect Cristiano Ronaldo to turn around and smirked.


    "Hey, starter of the Toyota Cup final, don''t you want it?"


    When Ronaldo heard this, he stopped and turned and walked back to Aldridge. He asked, "Boss, you asked me to go to Japan, isn''t it a bench or a holiday?"


    "Remember, I said, you obey, this is the discipline of the first team."


    Aldrich didn''t answer Ronaldo''s question at all. Ronaldo nodded after thinking for a while and said, "I''m sorry."


    After being silent for a while, Ronaldo asked again: "Is there nothing else?"


    "Well, you go and prepare, we will start tomorrow."


    "Ok."


    Ronaldo turned around to continue training.


    Byrne smiled bitterly: "This kid is talented, talented, and has a very correct professional attitude at a young age. One thing is, he is too individual."


    Aldridge laughed: "Well, but some players just need a different personality."


    Take Cristiano Ronaldo, he likes to be in the limelight, has a desire to express, and has a desire to rule on the court.


    This is inferior in the eyes of many people who don''t like him, because Cristiano Ronaldo is too sharp, does not know how to converge, sometimes overdone, and even hurt himself.


    But conversely, if Ronaldo does not have the ambition of the world''s first, the desire to control victory and defeat, his talent, his efforts, can he be sent to the future height?


    Aldridge called Ribery again.


    In the current Millwall reserve team, 18-year-old Ribery is not particularly outstanding, but he has made significant progress compared to when he came to the team two years ago, but his strength has not reached a quantitative change. The quality is changing, so in the reserve team, he is instead a supporting role, supporting the role of 16-year-old Ronaldo.


    Aldridge sometimes worried that this scarred face would be mediocre. After all, for geniuses, 18 years old is definitely an age to show performance, even if it is not enough to fly in the professional field, at least training performance, The technical indicators should also have obvious advantages, but Ribery can only be said to be slightly better than ordinary players.


    So this time when he went to Japan, Aldridge also took Ribery, let him go to see the big scene, and withstand the baptism of the final atmosphere.


    Ribery learned that he could go to Japan and went back to training with excitement. He couldn''t be as calm as Cristiano Ronaldo. He could go to Japan, no matter whether he could play in the game or not, at least it opened his eyes.


    After leaving the reserve''s training ground, Aldridge went to the youth team''s training ground.


    This season, Najib no longer serves as the coach of the youth team, but only as the director of the youth team, because he has to devote his energy to other tasks. Millwall has established football schools around the world with small training camps. To train coaches, to guide the work, and also to find out if there are good seedlings, the work is very busy, but every week will follow up the Millwall youth team player growth report.


    The coach of the youth team is now Dean Richards. The tough guy who was forced to retire due to physical illness is now recovering his health, but if he wants to play football, he may only go to a lower-level team. Can''t keep up with the standards of top-level stadiums.


    After the arrival of Aldridge, as usual, a few words with Richards, to understand the training situation of the youth team players.


    The Millwall youth team has continued its fine tradition. It is in the youth league. Johnson, Bynes, Hart, Pengler, and Rooney have carried the banner of the youth team.


    "Rooney gave it to me for a few days and I took him to Japan for a turn."


    Aldrich told Richards about it and talked about Rooney. Richards was full of praise. The 16-year-old little fat man was like a bulldog on the court. Richards was originally a defender and liked this. Shock players.


    When Rooney came to Aldridge, Aldridge went away.


    Rooney''s hair is a bit long, and it''s probably time to cut it recently.


    Now this brown hair is still very lush.


    Aldridge unconsciously thinks of Rooney, who started his career as a young man.


    Lu Xiaofan looked up at Aldridge, and he didn''t understand what was staring at the top of his head!


    Having a hairstyle?


    Well, I also think that long hair is not good-looking, it is better to cut it short.


    "Tomorrow, go to Japan with the first team, go back and prepare for it, take a break early in the evening, don''t be late tomorrow, the team does not wait for anyone."


    After Aldridge finished speaking, Rooney''s eyes widened and he shouted excitedly: "Understood!"

 Chapter 690： Technical and tactical suppression

    The Millwall team airborne to Japan, and the football frenzy was even more intense than before, for no reason. The World Cup of Korea and Japan entered the countdown. On December 1st, in Busan, South Korea, the World Cup group draw ceremony will be held.


    In this trip to Japan, Millwall, in addition to all the first-team players, also included three young players who were temporarily added to the first team, Rooney, Ronaldo, and Ribery.


    This year''s Toyota Cup final was changed to Yokohama. Aldridge led his team to the hotel near the Yokohama International Arena. The team prepared for the game in an orderly manner and declined all commercial activities.


    There will be another World Cup to play in half a year, and Aldridge needs to give players plenty of rest time during the season, so all activities outside the competition this season can be avoided.


    At the pre-match press conference, Audridge was asked a headache by Asian reporters.


    "Mr. Hall, there are no names for Southgate, Larson and Nedved in the 23-man Toyota Cup list submitted by Millwall this time. Why?"


    "Because there are not enough places."


    "How many places are needed for a final? If they are not on the big list, why would they come to Japan?"


    "Because we are a united team."


    ...


    "Will you participate in the World Cup lottery ceremony held in South Korea four days later?"


    "No, I will lead the team to prepare for the league with Manchester United."


    ...


    Asian journalists feel a bit lost.


    As a world football feast for the World Cup, Aldridge, as the young coach of the famous Europe, regretted his absence even in the lottery ceremony.


    The FA also hopes that Aldridge can enter the lottery delegation, a bit like an ambassador, PR diplomacy and popular.


    However, Aldridge has no interest in the lottery. Furthermore, after returning to London after the Toyota Cup, he will play Manchester United, Arsenal, and East London Derby. His work is not easy. There is always one thing that he dare not throw away Behind the head.


    The club is his foundation. If it is for the national team to despise the club work, it is easy to cause people to diverge.


    Coincidentally, Millwall achieved the Champions League defending in Europe, and Boca Juniors also completed the honor of defending the Libertadores Cup in South America.


    Following the confrontation with Boca Juniors last year, Millwall will meet the Toyota Cup again this year!


    The young commander Aldridge will have another peak match with the governor Bianchi.


    This time for the Toyota Cup, Aldridge intends to use the half-main and half-replacement lineup to face the Boca youth.


    Today, the Toyota Cup is a game with honors greater than actual benefits. Millwall does not need to care too much about the outcome, even football style does not have to deliberately show the world.


    Just like they used the bench lineup in the Champions League to defeat Juventus in the extreme anti-anti, no one will go after the game to slam Millwall to play conservatively, anti-football, or treat the game passively, etc., because in the outside impression Millwall¡¯s impression of offensive football is deeply ingrained, and occasional changes will give this team extra points because they know how to be flexible, especially if they win the game.


    The tacit agreement between the main force and the substitute may not be too big, but the young men who want to join the youth team have obvious problems of running in. Therefore, in preparing for the battle, Aldridge¡¯s tactical choices are also very limited. Not to mention the teamwork of the best, only simple and uncomplicated tactics.


    On the day of the game, Yokohama International Arena.


    Aldridge shook hands with Bianchi before the game. Last year he gave Bianchi a defeat. Today the other party came here with the idea of ??revenge.


    Fortunately by chance, thank God for the arrangement, which can give Boka youth a chance for revenge.


    Aldridge seemed calm and natural. From the comments before Bianchi, the opponent seemed to have a revenge obsession.


    He is accustomed to making enemies on all sides in Europe. Which giant do you encounter now, is the other party clamoring for revenge?


    Japanese fans are disappointed today.


    Millwall''s big-name stars, three of them are suits and leather boots, and the staff are sitting on the bench. Southgate, Larson, and Nedved did not enter the big game list. After training, but the game is not up, they do not care, the Toyota Cup has taken two seats, this tasteless champion, it does not matter, empty space for teammates, it seems high-spirited.


    The other main players, the little guy Pirlo, also sat on the bench. Ronaldinho, Henry, and even Klose are not starting.


    Millwall played 4231 today.


    Goalkeeper: Palyuka.


    Guards: Neil, Materazzi, Metzelder, Zambrotta.


    Lower back: Alonso, Gattuso.


    Midfielders: Ronaldo, Kaka, Ribery.


    Forward: Villa.


    This is a set of tactics based on tough defense to fight back.


    For Boca Juniors, Rickelme, the biggest star player last year, was still in the lineup. Palermo landed in Europe but was not in the lineup. However, there were still new players on the front line, the beast Tevez.


    Ronaldo, who appeared last year, is full of confidence today. From the hairstyle, I can see that a lot of hair spray is applied. The hair is like a hedgehog''s thorn standing on the top of the head.


    Millwall¡¯s offensive combination was under 20 years old. Boca Juniors said that he would ignore the enemy. With the lesson of last year¡¯s defeat, he would not be taken lightly today. Therefore, since the start of the game, Boca Juniors¡¯ attitude was balanced and defensive. It is stable and stable, and the offensive does not dare to rush in.


    Playing Boca Juniors, Aldridge¡¯s pre-match requirements are still the same as last year.


    Staring at Riquelme.


    This classic midfielder shines in South America, but the frequency is too slow, single skill, can compete with Zidane, but under Gattuso and Alonso tacitly snatched close, he even took the ball All are pitiful.


    Bianchi looked blank on the sidelines.


    what happened?


    Last year, Riquelme was frozen. Is this familiar rhythm this year?


    The same thing happened a second time, it was certainly not accidental.


    It wasn¡¯t that Riquelme didn¡¯t try his best, it wasn¡¯t the opponent¡¯s sudden tactical restraint. There was only one answer. Millwall¡¯s focus on marking and defensive strategy worked.


    This is a time when the classical front waist is dying in Europe. One after another, the classical front waist is disappearing, or away from Europe. Even if there are players with such characteristics in the future, they have to change the play and position, redefine it. The mainstream front waist organization era has come to an end.


    In addition to the reasons for the speed and pace of the game, the type of player is also very important.


    For example, Millwall now has a versatile Alonso in the midfield, Kaka can play as a shadow striker in the front, and the comprehensive tactical value of the classic front waist. In the face of these two types of players, it is difficult to say that there is a clear advantage.


    The classical front waist has almost negligible defensive ability, and the weakness of slow speed is a big hidden danger for the team. Therefore, the French team needs to put a double back behind Zidane to protect the team. .


    Another fatal reason is most vividly reflected in today''s game: relying on a single core lacks diverse options!


    Riquelme was restricted on the court, and the Boca youth''s offense was completely paralyzed. The single attack core Mo said that in the future football, even in contemporary football, it has begun to fall behind.


    In terms of overall strength, Millwall is still stronger than Boka youth, but today in this game, Millwall overwhelmed Boka youth with technical and tactical strength.


    In the first 30 minutes, Millwall''s attack was on the right. Neal and Ribery played on the right, but there was only one point in the penalty area, and Kaka could not do it like Ned. When Vader or Klose acted as a shadow striker like that, he saw the right time to get into the penalty area and beat his opponent by surprise.


    Cristiano Ronaldo is also very young. Now Cristiano Ronaldo is just the supporting role of the team on the wing. He belongs to the role of delivering the shells to the striker, but he likes to show his skills.


    After 30 minutes, Millwall then shifted the attack to the left. C Ronaldo cut the penalty area. Alonso accidentally went up. After receiving the Kaka pass, C Ronaldo scored the ball. This was a shot. Half-single ball, but Cristiano Ronaldo played too well, was blocked by the goalkeeper, Villa cleverly made up shots, and took the lead.


    After Millwall scored, Aldridge called Ribery and Ronaldo in front of them, allowing them to change their kicks, or let them release themselves, and not to stick to the rules because they were young.


    In the following time, even though Ribery and Ronaldo''s breakthrough abilities were only average, they both disrupted the Boka youth''s defensive system through a clear dribbling route.


    Front corridor of the restricted area of ??the modern winger!


    As long as the two of them took the ball and never bottomed, they went to the middle. During the dribbling process, it caused chaos to the Boka youth defense system.


    Why does Robben frequently stage a long-range play of Inner Middle Road before the penalty area?


    In addition to his personal abilities, this modern winger''s dribbling route itself will create a short-term chaos on the opponent''s back line. Originally, the full-back was following the defense. As a result, the target ran to the middle and came to the center. The midfielder zone, but the central defender and midfielder may have their own mark-to-point tasks. In the end, is it to abandon the defensive goal, that is, to continue to stick to mark-to-point defense, or to use zone defense?


    There is a conflict between the two. Mark-to-man defense. Choose one of the two. One should be placed. Regional defense. In this area, the number of people has a disadvantage and it is impossible to cover everything.


    This is precisely the power of the modern winger. It is not just changing the dribbling route. The opponent seems to have greatly reduced its defensive ability. Essentially, it allows the opponent to adjust the defensive rhythm in a short period of time. It can not seize this opportunity to create Great threat.


    In this way, the two modern wingers frequently create confusion in the defense of their opponents, even though it is impossible for a dragon to stage a good show alone, but the opportunity is like creating more.


    As long as Ribery and Ronaldo cross the middle of the ball and come to the front of the penalty area, the opponent has a defender who comes up to defend. The area behind the defender is empty, and Kaka plugs in to play the role of a shadow forward.


    In the 40th minute of the game, this was the routine. Kaka entered the penalty area after Cristiano Ronaldo took the ball in the middle. Cristiano Ronaldo scored a half-single shot. When another defender came over to assist, he knocked. On the other side, Villa, who has been unmarked, easily pushes and shoots to expand the score to 2:0.


    Bianchi was dumbfounded on the sidelines.


    Last year he was unwilling to lose because Millwall defeated the Boka youth with a defensive counterattack.


    Today, although Millwall has a counter-defense formation, but under the condition that the Boka youth has not over-invested in the offense, Millwall¡¯s offense is still not a perfect counterattack opportunity, and it is biased towards positional combat. The number is not dominant.


    Millwall penetrated the Boka youth''s defense line through advanced techniques and tactics. As for whether there is a chance to counterattack, that''s second.


    Bianchi looked at Audric next door, and a chill rose in his heart.


    Millwall restricted Boca''s youth''s offense and was able to penetrate Boca''s youth''s defense.


    If Millwall is to send all the main force to play, I am afraid there is no suspense in this game!

 Chapter 691： Commander and Governor

    At the end of the first half, the Japanese fans on the scene had forgotten how disappointed they were before the game.


    The game is more exciting than they thought.


    Millwall played extremely resolutely on every attack, especially at the end of the first half. The modern lone winger, a lone player mode, easily won applause.


    Ribery''s scarred face may be a little daunting.


    But Ronaldo, the boy representing the Millwall Junior team, came off the bench last year in the Toyota Cup. Before that, he impressed Japanese fans, and according to the outside world, the Portuguese boy is a new generation of Millwall The most high-profile genius, a few months away, he is 17 years old, as a genius, it is time to shine.


    And Kaka, the Brazilian, has been cheered by Japanese fans, excluding the humanistic connection between Japan and Brazil. Kaka''s own image and style are also easier to like.


    The teenager Villa scored two goals. His reputation has gradually improved from the trough this season. At least he is now recognized as an indispensable backup player in the Millwall formation.


    Aldridge also felt that time passed really fast.


    When I first came to Japan to play the Toyota Cup that year, C Ronaldo, Alonso, Villa, these young players are only a junior team, a member of the youth team, come to Japan to give the Japanese national junior team, national youth team to Abuse, unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, they are also heroic to the age of standing on top of the field.


    After playing for 15 minutes in the second half, Aldridge replaced Villa with Rooney.


    Bianchi looked angry on the sidelines.


    Millwall came with the experience of Boca Juniors!


    But he had nowhere to blaze.


    Boca Juniors made the game easy. They fell behind by two goals and could only let it go. Millwall did not have to deliberately pursue the play of the modern winger in the second half. He played the most primitive counterattack, using Ronaldo and Ribery on the side. The speed of the road, the combination of Rooney in the middle and Kaka one after the other, the offensive points are comprehensive, and the position is also level.


    Aldridge did not move the line of defense, but also targeted Riquelme. The Boca youths invested a lot of force in the attack, but they could not threaten much. After all, they were also playing in an offensive way that they were not good at. To put it bluntly, the core role of Riquelme is missing. Their teammates do not know how to play, and the offense is extremely monotonous.


    Boas was extremely focused on watching the game on the coach seat. He now habitually takes a notebook to record the inspiring information on the court.


    In the preparation of the investigation of opponents, Boas''s evaluation of Riquelme is the most threatening, but the player who is the most threatening in his eyes, but can''t play on the field, last year Riquelme was restricted After thinking about it for a year, he was one year old and experienced, and his ability was stronger. He should have made progress, but he did not expect the same result.


    "Jenson, you said that players like Riquelme should change in order to meet the development trend of European football."


    Boas questioned his doubts.


    Jensen thought for a moment: "This topic was discussed with Aldridge ten years ago. At that time, he foreseen that this purely organizational front waist would gradually decrease or even disappear in Europe. At that time, I did not believe it. Now look at Europe. The lineup of the giants have to admire Aldridge''s vision. As for how these players should develop, these years of experience tell me that there should be three aspects. First, like Pirlo, front waist and back, For example, in today''s game, if Riquelme organizes from the midfield to the midfield area, he will definitely be very relaxed, because Alonso and Gattuso can''t rush to the front to stare at him personally, exposing the empty space behind him, But this is not Riquelme¡¯s playing habit. Second, like Ronaldinho, you also know that Ronaldinho has a special position and role in our team, and the winger is not like a winger. The front waist is not like the front waist, but his organizational threat after pulling the edge is much stronger than in the front waist position. The outside world says that Millwall¡¯s front waist is Nedved, in fact I think it is wrong, Ned Vader is our shadow striker, Ronaldinho is our front midfielder, we are front and back dual-core, Ronaldinho near the opponent''s goal, Pirlo far away, all-round when instigating the offense Can play threats, can effectively activate each offensive point. Third, it depends on the player''s own transformation, such as becoming more offensive and defensive, but this transformation will be very dangerous, and it will be mediocre. "


    Boas, like a good student, quickly wrote down Jensen''s words in his notebook.


    In the course of his observation of the game, in contrast, he did notice the disadvantage of Riquelme''s classic front waist.


    After Riquelme lost the ball, Millwall could quickly organize a counterattack, because Riquelme''s defensive consciousness and ability made him capable of counter-robbing on the spot, unable to achieve the tactical purpose of delaying the opponent''s offensive speed.


    On the contrary, after Millwall lost the ball, Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Ribery all quickly carried out anti-robbing. The success of grabbing was second. At least three of them had speed. For a time, the most threatening counterattack was formed, and the speed was what Riquelme lacked. In other words, Alonso ran the ball forward two steps, and Riquelme basically did not chase.


    Under the circumstance that the game rhythm and speed are getting faster and faster, Riquelme''s sense of presence is getting weaker and weaker. The defense of the Premier League team is good at snatching and snatching. It will not give you the ball easily, turn around, and observe the situation. Slowly organizing the time and space for the offensive transmission, Belon was dismissed as a parallel in Manchester United''s unbeatable price. In addition to the cultural conflict that cannot be integrated into the environment, its characteristics are also one of the reasons why the Premier League is difficult to gain a foothold.


    In the 79th minute of the second half, Ronalce scored the third goal of Millwall after receiving a header from Ribery''s oblique long pass.


    Aldrich turned and walked back to the coach seat, allowing Ramall and De Rossi to warm up and prepare to play.


    In recent years, with the increasing influence of the post-Bosman rule, South America has become a talent selection base in Europe. South America cannot retain good players. Some geniuses have just landed in Europe directly after turning 18, especially now South American and European players Under the background of huge income differences, the strength of Boca Juniors has declined compared to last year. Riquelme is limited, Tevez¡¯s foothold is not stable, the team¡¯s technical and tactics are gradually out of touch with the times, and Odri? also wins Bianchi. I feel that Yixing is down.


    Fortunately, it is worthwhile for young people to experience big scenes and accumulate experience.


    At the end of the game, Aldridge got up and shook hands with Bianchi again. This time, Bianchi held him for a short time.


    The Governor and the Marshal exchanged their opinions on the sidelines calmly and quietly. Aldridge did not have any racks. In the Toyota Cup, he did not have any thoughts of celebration. He chatted with Bianchi a lot and was not secret.


    The exchanges between coaches are secrets and basically will not be disclosed.


    Speaking of Riquelme, Aldridge said bluntly: "He is a good player, there are players who can reach the master level, but he will never meet Millwall''s selection criteria, we will not need him Such a player, because of his value in Millwall''s tactical system, may have a negative effect."


    Speaking of Tevez, Aldridge was full of appreciation.


    "Tevez has great potential, the advantages of physical fitness and technical ability. If he can steadily improve, he will be able to shine in the European giants in the future."


    Bianchi also talked a lot with Aldridge at the tactical level, but Aldridge felt it was a waste of time.


    It''s not that the other party can''t listen to their own words, but that the South American football environment is very different from Europe. Europe pays attention to tactical discipline, and South America is open and free. If the soil of South America''s football becomes like Europe, I am afraid that most of South America''s genius will die in the cradle.


    Bianchi lost to Aldridge for the second time, and he also had no complaints. This time, he was defeated and convinced.


    And in the interview after the game, he praised Aldridge and Millwall.


    In this battle for the Toyota Cup, there was a story of heroes mourning between the young commander and the governor.


    Villa scored two goals, became the best player in the final, and got a Toyota.


    Millwall was ready to return to London after the award ceremony.


    The Eurasian span is too long, the journey consumes a relatively large amount, and there is a jet lag when going back. Millwall wants to race against time to restore the best state and return to the league to go to Old Trafford to challenge Manchester United.


    Before leaving Japan, Aldridge received a call from Thompson, the chairman of the FA.


    "Aldrich, you can let the team go back to London first. You stay three days longer in Asia. The AFC, FIFA, South Korea, and Japan organizers all hope you will be there and give them a show. "


    The chairman of the FA has experienced a turmoil on the phone with Aldridge half a year ago, and he is right in his position. Well, politicians, how can one endure because of conflicts?


    Aldrich turned red and was the most popular head coach in England. He helped the England team to enter the World Cup steadily. He has improved the brand, image, economic benefits and influence of the national team for more than a year. With attention, this is extremely huge.


    Thompson will not offend anyone now, nor will he offend Aldridge.


    The draw for the World Cup group stage took place three days later, not far from Japan, but in South Korea. If Aldridge leaves today, it is impossible to fly from London to South Korea. Thompson wants to take this opportunity to take Aldridge Staying in Asia and letting him attend the lottery ceremony is not only to enhance the image of diplomacy, but also to make the delegation of England look good.


    England is not a seed team, but it can certainly become the focus of attention in the audience with the presence of Aldridge.


    "Mr. President, in the contract I signed with the FA, it is very clear that my national team¡¯s work, first of all, cannot affect my work in the club, although attending the World Cup lottery ceremony is my job as the national team coach, But considering that it is during the club league season, I still have to focus on club work. Sorry, I am going back to London."


    "Then, well, okay, bye."


    Thompson hung up in disappointment.


    He really thinks that Aldridge is a wonderful flower, obviously a good opportunity to show his face on the world stage, but don''t want it!


    Aldridge boarded a plane flying back to London, sitting alone in the corner with his eyes closed.


    I was nervous involuntarily.


    The World Cup, the World Cup, I think it is far away, but the reality is close.

 Chapter 692： Kneeled to Fleet Street!

    On the first day of December, Millwall trained as usual.


    Players who came to the club in different styles of cars came to work step by step. Ronaldinho would chat with the guard for a few minutes. Nedved went to the team doctor to see his medical report last month. Henry sat in the locker room and listened to music to relax. Pirlo Playing ball on the court, Gattuso will see the right time to **** Pirlo, Alonso will hold a bookmark in one hand, and hold the book in one hand against the goalpost to read by the bright sun...


    In this small world of clubs, there are so many different things in life, and you can still get a glimpse of it.


    Aldrich has developed the habit of driving to the club, parking the car, and holding a cup of take-out coffee in his hand over the past year.


    Although the work schedule under the instructions of the text has been reasonably planned recently, it is difficult to change the habit.


    Before training, he will chat with everyone in the coaching staff''s studio. When the time is up, he will go to the training ground to gather. At that time, most of the players are also present.


    The atmosphere today is a little special, the players seem absent-minded.


    Coaches, coaches, players, in fact, everyone is not thinking about training.


    After the warm-up, Aldridge did not conduct ball training, directly let the players practice their physical fitness. After half an hour, many players were sweating and Aldridge ordered.


    "Let''s go to see the World Cup group draw together."


    The players cheered, and they followed the coaches to the office building of the training base together. They sat in the room where the pre-match preparations were held. The big draw of the World Cup of South Korea and Japan was already playing on the big TV screen.


    "Boy, is this girl a player of Asian women''s football? Asian women play so beautifully?"


    Ronaldinho moved a chair and sat in front of Aldridge, the first row. He pointed to a lottery ambassador on the big screen and asked curiously.


    There were whistle blowing immediately around the teammates.


    Aldridge couldn¡¯t help laughing, saying, ¡°That¡¯s the Korean female star, not playing football.¡±


    Ronaldinho pointed to South Korean movie star Song Huiqiao. As one of the 13 lottery ambassadors this time, let''s talk about women playing football. Among the 13 ambassadors, there are also Chinese Sun Wen.


    Some Asian faces are not known by players, such as Zheng Mengzhun in South Korea, Hong Mingpu, Masai Ibara in Japan, etc. But others such as Bailey, Cruyff, and Platini are familiar in European football circles An old face that can no longer be cooked.


    Ronaldinho turned his head again and asked, "Boss, you led England so well in the past year, why is it not a seed team?"


    "Because the World Cup is held in Asia, Japan and South Korea account for two seed teams. Without them, England and Portugal can enter the seed team."


    After Aldridge finished speaking, he pushed Ronaldinho''s head forward and said, "Look quietly, don''t make trouble."


    In fact, whether England has been assigned to the seed team, Aldridge feels that the difference is not significant.


    In the first gear, which belongs to the weakest group, the probability of being divided into death groups is high.


    In the second gear, even with the strong seed team, at least the second gear has a high probability of occupying a place.


    But it depends on luck, because the World Cup is a group stage. In addition to European teams, teams on other continents have a circumvention principle.


    Since Japan and South Korea occupy the seed team quota, there are as many as 11 teams in the second gear, that is to say, there are 3 second-tier teams that have not been drawn out, and they will enter the third gear. If it is good, there will be a seed team plus two second-tier teams into a group, which will give birth to the death group.


    In the third-tier team, Aldridge saw a name: China.


    I didn¡¯t think much about this history in my previous life, but now I feel very strange when I look at it.


    Say Senegal, Tunisia, South Africa, Cameroon into the fourth gear is not unusual, but the United States, Nigeria into the fourth gear, which makes some people feel very incompatible, especially in the United States, although football in the United States native sports The ranking is not high, but everyone has participated in the World Cup in recent years. The World Cup was held. The Chinese team entered the World Cup for the first time and could be placed in the third position.


    Over the past two years'' record? FIFA Points?


    Aldridge didn''t remember and was too lazy to think.


    The players in the conference room began to whisper, in fact, the real draw will not take too long, but this lottery ceremony still has to go through, the participating team flag bearers enter, the national flags are displayed by the countries, the official cultural performances arranged by South Korea, and the American women Star Anastasia sang the theme song "Leap", followed by a promotional video introduction of the participating teams.


    In England¡¯s team promo, the players are naturally dominated by the two most famous celebrities, Beckham and Owen, but it is rare. Of the 32 team promos, only the English promo is given to the coach. This character''s close-up moment of more than 20 seconds...


    When the draw began, the meeting room was quiet, and everyone was waiting for the draw.


    When the result of the group that England was drawn into Argentina appeared, there was a cry of excitement at the lottery, and the coaching staff around Aldridge also showed a variety of expressions.


    Klinsmann took a breath, and Jenson felt helpless as he slapped his thigh over his head.


    Only one game was done in 1998, and four years later, I will continue to lead!


    Aldridge''s expression was as usual, and he had read the lottery of all teams in the second gear, and then he frowned.


    "I am grass! Why is Argentina?"


    Jenson couldn''t help but swear.


    Ten years later, when people talk about this World Cup, what can Argentina remember?


    People remember the five-star Brazil!


    But, before the World Cup, Brazil?


    Brazil and Argentina are not at the same level at all!


    Brazil in the South American qualifiers, there is still the danger of being out until the last round, the penultimate round of 1:3 defeat to Bolivia almost made the Brazilian people desperate, but the final round of home victory over Venezuela 3:0 was only thrilling The goal difference is the third place, the fourth place is the same as them, the fifth place and the sixth place are 27 points, only 3 points away from Brazil, you know how well Brazil played in the qualifiers Thrilling.


    And Argentina?


    "Vilas, what is the situation in Argentina recently?"


    Jenson turned to ask Boaz.


    With the draw today, Boas will naturally also do some simple intelligence preparations.


    Before Jensen asked, he opened a thick book and found the information of Argentina, Shen said: "South America qualifier Argentina 13 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss, 43 points top qualifying, scored the most goals than the number of goals The second-most Brazil has 11 more, 2 goals more than the fifth best defender Uruguay, the first attack, the second defense, the most goal difference, the only loss is at home in Brazil, but they Return home to successfully avenge."


    It is no exaggeration to say that before the start of the World Cup, the strongest teacher in South America was none other than Argentina!


    This is not empty talk, but has a record basis, stability, strong offensive firepower, and solid defense. This is the impression Argentina gives to the outside world.


    After Boas finished, everyone''s eyes turned to Aldridge, but he heard Aldridge thoughtfully: "We have a 75% chance of entering the group of death."


    The coaching staff at this time coincidentally looked at the big TV screen.


    After all, the World Cup group stage is the first two qualifying, the last two return home.


    Argentina, England are divided into the same group, then, if a weaker third-tier team, such as the Chinese team, is added to a fourth-tier team.


    Well, this sign is actually very good, earning 6 points on the weak, and certainly able to qualify.


    It''s just that when everyone looked at the big screen, they understood what Audridge said.


    There are three second-tier European teams in the third-tier. Although European teams have no circumvention principles in the group stage, there is also an upper limit. That is, a group can only have two European teams at most. .


    Therefore, these three teams can only be divided into the teams of Brazil, Argentina, Japan and South Korea.


    The seed teams of France, Italy, Spain, and Germany have all drawn a European team in the same group.


    When England was drawn into the Argentina group, the probability of the death group appearing was very high.


    Luck is very bad, it can be said that as long as they are not drawn into the group of Brazil and Argentina, and are divided into a group with South Korea, Japan, or four other European seed teams, then the probability of avoiding the group of death is very high. 25% probability of winning the bid, and then depends on whether 75% probability can hide.


    After the results of the third team drawn into Argentina and England were announced, there was another exclamation in the lottery.


    Larson bowed his head in a smile in the meeting room.


    Sweden, into this group.


    The group of deaths, no doubt, was born.


    Aldridge also smiled bitterly. How can this butterfly not affect this lottery?


    After the results of the fourth team draw were announced, the delegation of England on the scene, as well as the representatives of the Fleet Street media, were all as black as carbon.


    African Super Eagle Nigeria.


    Argentina, England, Sweden, Nigeria.


    FIFA your grandma!


    Aldridge raised his eyebrows after watching the draw.


    The death group is the death group, and it is not without good information.


    At least the F group that England is in, if it can break out of the encirclement, then the group stage and the knockout will be carried out in the division on the side of Japan, without South Korea and Japan running on both sides.


    The players also talked about each other, and some players signed their own national teams very well.


    Just like the France where Henry is located, they are divided into Denmark, Uruguay, Senegal, and Pirlo. They are located in Italy. The opponents are Ecuador, Croatia, Mexico. Even Klose and Schneider are in Germany. A relatively weak group, Saudi Arabia, Ireland, Cameroon.


    Counting, the **** England is the worst!


    Of course, Aldridge doesn¡¯t think it¡¯s a tragedy, he¡¯s already prepared.


    After the training, Leo training base was already surrounded by reporters.


    Football reporters on Fleet Street flocked to ask Aldridge¡¯s opinion on the draw.


    "Mr. Hall, England and Argentina, their rivals, are in the same group. Will you be prepared for this battle of revenge?"


    "How much do we know about Nigeria? Will such an opponent cause us trouble?"


    "And Sweden, we haven''t won Sweden in 33 years! Are you confident of leading England to break through in the death group?"


    Aldridge was dumbfounded when asked.


    Mallorbi''s England.


    30 years of invincibility in Germany, we know it, and don¡¯t think there is any problem. Germany is strong.


    But why did another 33 years suddenly come out of Sweden?


    Aldridge, who was sitting in the car with a dumbfounded face, was photographed by the reporter.


    Everyone thought that this young coach was drawn into the death group because of England and could not bear the pressure!


    Aldridge was really fooled by England''s modern football history.


    As the coach of England, it seems he has to go back and look through history.


    Otherwise, don¡¯t beat Germany for 30 years today, and Sweden for 33 years tomorrow, and another N years later, who will win... England, who did you win?


    In this regard, England has a face claiming to be a strong team?


    Really kneel to Fleet Street!


    It¡¯s you who touted England¡¯s strength, and it¡¯s you who used England¡¯s awkward record to force the national team coach!

 Chapter 693： What are you doing at the World Cup?

    The dust of the Korea-Japan World Cup group draw was settled, and some anecdotes occurred during the ceremony. For example, Platini laughed because he guessed the result of the draw.


    The World Cup is still half a year away, but the storm is already brewing.


    Several were happy and some were sad. Japanese coach Trusier was very satisfied with the result of the grouping, but the South Korean media lamented.


    "Seoul Sports" reported after the draw result: South Korea''s top 16 dream hit the rock!


    South Koreans believe that there are two European teams in the same group, Portugal and Poland, and the United States, South Korea''s hopes of entering the top 16 are very slim.


    European teams can say that except for England and Sweden, the teams of other teams do not see the danger of life and death on paper strength. The strong teams are generally satisfied with the result of the draw.


    And Brazil like China, Costa Rica, Turkey, and Brazil are very cautious. In countries outside the East, China has always given people a sense of mystery.


    The Brazilians were very cautious and began investigating the team¡¯s opponents, the Chinese team, to study Chinese football. ¡°French Football¡± also had to introduce the new World Cup Chinese team in the news report.


    At the end of the year, the Brazilian and French media have introduced the current status of Chinese football to the world football. This is also the first time in the history of Chinese football that it has been treated as a front-page headline in the authoritative media of football powers, but its core content However, it was full of negative reports such as management confusion, shady, fake ball, etc. The mysterious veil of the Chinese team was unveiled. Afterwards, the Brazilian media made a big fuss afterwards, turning the ridicule of Chinese football into a peachy article as a follow-up, focusing on speculation. Ambiguity between Milu and a Chinese female journalist who doesn''t understand football at all.


    To say which country has the greatest impact on the result of the draw, there is no doubt that it is England!


    "The Sun": Why is Argentina again!


    The report mentioned the red card of Beckham in the last World Cup Anglo-Afghan war, and the hand of God in Maradona in 1986.


    BBC: England encountered a big hit Argentina!


    "Mirror": England and Argentina relive old hatred!


    "Times": England must score 5 points!


    The Guardian: Ah, God, this is the most difficult group!


    Fleet Street almost unanimously believes that the war between England and Argentina is the most difficult battle. At the same time, the 33-year defeat of Sweden also makes everyone feel unpredictable. There is also a possibility that the mysterious division Super Eagle Nigeria may disrupt it.


    Only the "Daily Mail" used a half-ridiculous context, with Aldridge''s stunned emoji photos taken by reporters outside the training base to report the result of the lottery: The death team made the three lions legion desperate!


    The longer he stays in the UK, the more he can feel the complexity of the country¡¯s culture.


    He was an old enemy with Germany, and he fought in World War II.


    He is also a long-time enemy with Argentina, and the battle of the island bullied others.


    England Whenever playing the World Cup, the group stage does not seem to draw a past war opponent seems unlikely.


    As the coach of the national team, Aldridge must make a formal external speech after the draw result, not only for public relations needs, but also to inject mental stimulants into the national team.


    BBC senior football reporter Jennings has established a relatively harmonious working relationship with Aldridge in the past two years. Last year''s interview was also hosted by Jennings.


    Before leaving Old Trafford, Aldridge was preparing to be interviewed in the office. As the national team coach, the office had to be reorganized. At least too many Millwall elements had a background that was not in compliance, otherwise the interview was broadcast. There is something nonsense.


    After the background was finished, Aldridge and Jennings sat opposite each other.


    After the opening remarks, Jennings went straight to the subject.


    "World Cup lottery ceremony, I heard you watched live TV, right?"


    "Yes."


    "Talk about this picture first."


    Jennings took a close-up photo of Aldridge''s dumbfounded expression outside the training base and showed it to Aldridge.


    Aldridge laughed dumbly and shook his head. "I was a little surprised at the time, but not because of the draw, but someone told me that England hasn''t beaten Sweden in 33 years."


    "Does it scare you?"


    "Of course not. On the first day of my coaching, I knew that the club I was leading was a team that had not won any championship in a hundred years."


    Jennings immediately understood the meaning of Aldrich''s words.


    History has nothing to fear.


    In the future, waiting for contemporary people to create.


    Jennings put down the photo and said: "England and Argentina are divided into the same group. From the public opinion, people think that this is the next sign. What is your opinion?"


    Aldridge took a deep breath and then smiled.


    "Some games will be beyond the meaning of football, such as the Spanish derby, England and Argentina, the same is true, if we lose to Argentina, even if we eventually qualify from the group, I think English fans will still not be happy ."


    "Are you saying that this focus war will bring tremendous pressure? England has bad luck, and the group stage encountered Argentina and was divided into the death group. The prospect looks worrying."


    "No, no, I just expounded my views on the game itself, but for the same group as Argentina, I think this is a normal thing. I, and all the members of the national team, should be peaceful. Mentality to face the draw result."


    "Why? Isn''t Argentina going to cause us trouble? Or, do you think England has absolute power over Argentina?"


    Aldrich still shook his head and said: "The game was not played, the outcome cannot be arbitrarily concluded. In terms of strength, Argentina has a new coach after 98 years. Argentina led by Bielsa looks unstoppable in South America. They are very strong. Naturally, it will be a big hit for next year¡¯s World Cup, but what about England? We must first understand that our players, our fans, must ask ourselves: What does England do at the World Cup? What kind of pursuit do we have? What kind of hope do we want? result?"


    Jennings thought thoughtfully: "We certainly hope that England can win the World Cup, but..."


    "But we are always disappointing, so we may not even think about it now. There is a fluke in public opinion, which confuses me. If a team goes from the group stage to the final, it will play a total of 7. Games, 3 group games, 16 rounds, 8 rounds, 4 rounds, the championship finals, if we want England to win the championship and hope that England will go further, then you can''t avoid playing against the strong teams and winning the top teams Fight, today I have read all the newspapers published by major media, most of the voices are declining England, if so, what are we going to do at the World Cup? Anyway, when we meet a strong team, we seem to be defeated, then we still play What? What do the players fight for? My head coach simply went on vacation."


    Jennings nodded: "You mean England can''t be timid first, right?"


    Aldridge¡¯s expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice: ¡°We have worked hard to get the top spot from the qualifiers, and the goal is aimed at the World Cup. First of all, there must be consciousness, we are not traveling, we are not going Try your luck to avoid a strong team! We are trying our best to play 100%, 200% of the fighting power to win the honor! Secondly, no matter what our strength is, we must have the faith to defeat our opponents! The World Cup is not a league , Not to tie the stage where one day can continue, if we don¡¯t have the faith to win, then our efforts will also be constrained by ourselves. Finally, there are 3 group matches in the death group. If you can¡¯t qualify, then you will go home after playing three games. In such a situation, fighting against the strong team early is our decisive battle. If you fight again, it will only be 7 games. The team¡¯s thinking must be unified. From the minute to the end of the minute, do your best."


    In these words, Aldridge not only told every player of the England national team through interviews, but also told fans, the media, and, himself!


    There is still half a year to start the World Cup. There is no time for you to be pessimistic, lamenting, and calculating. There is only one thing to do and face it with confidence!


    Jennings was also infected by Aldridge''s words.


    The previous England coaches basically faced the World Cup with a cautious attitude. Few Aldridge inspire the team and inspire the public.


    It is no exaggeration to say that the result of the World Cup group draw has made England football in a haze. From players to fans, from the FA to Fleet Street, there is a feeling of going to the World Cup to watch England die.


    Jennings became more relaxed and asked, "What do you think of Sweden? This is an opponent we haven''t beaten in 33 years."


    Aldridge chuckled: "It is still the same sentence, the game is not played, the outcome can not be concluded. At least I don¡¯t think this is a panic opponent, people will say that England has not beaten Sweden in 33 years, but if England In a group with France? People will say that because France has not beaten England in the past 40 years, will England definitely be undefeated against France? Don¡¯t joke, in the past two competitions, France have been champions and the cards Or is England at a disadvantage, just as England meets Ireland, and we haven¡¯t beaten Ireland in more than a decade, is it possible that England¡¯s odds will be lower than Ireland? Haha, Sweden has great strength, but England should not be defeated for 33 years. Affected, on the contrary, this should give us a stronger motivation to rewrite history and bury that unbearable history completely."


    Jennings laughed, and felt that the ratings of this special interview broadcast today must be extremely high.


    Argentina, Sweden, the strongest opponents in the two groups, the panic in people''s hearts is not worth mentioning in Aldridge''s mouth, but Aldridge is not blind to ignore his opponents, his words are very convincing and contagious The power is very exciting.


    "Nigeria? We beat them in a friendly match in 1996, and the score was 1:0."


    "It doesn¡¯t make sense to talk about history. The opponents that have been defeated in the past may be able to complete revenge tomorrow. For African teams, we must be vigilant. We must be stronger than European teams, but African teams have their own characteristics and physical qualities. The advantage is very obvious. Another point is that their fighting desire will be very strong. The World Cup is a big stage for many unknown players in Europe to become famous. It is also a place where they enhance their influence and bring honor and attention to the motherland. Spirit The motivation in the will will directly affect the game."


    Next, Aldridge talked about the results of the group draw for other teams, as well as the prospects for the World Cup''s popular teams. In this regard, his words are diplomatic.


    For example, he will still say that France, Spain, Portugal and other teams are the most popular teams to win the championship. After all, if he said that France would play home after the group stage, this is absolutely unbelievable. If he is said, I am afraid that people He will not be worshipped more, but will cause controversy and fear. After all, the French hard power is no problem, but when the World Cup arrives, the core Zidane was accidentally injured, and the state of the fire line is not guaranteed.

 Chapter 694： ruler

    Aldrich''s interview was broadcast, which had a positive impact on the people of England.


    As the panic of entering the death group gradually disappeared, the fans thought Aldridge was right.


    England is not a travel to the World Cup, but is struggling towards the ultimate peak of world football.


    Argentina, Sweden, Nigeria, what are you afraid of?


    If you can¡¯t win, England will go home as soon as possible and win, so they are eligible to challenge the supreme throne of football!


    Seeing the wind and the rudder on the Fleet Street, he immediately sang praises to the young masters of the Three Lions, and his tone became mad.


    "The Sun": The group of death? England is the terminator that brought death to the other three teams!


    ...


    Probably because of the draw of the Korea-Japan World Cup group draw, the focus battle between Millwall and Manchester United hardly caused any waves of public opinion before the game.


    Aldridge did not find Ferguson to fight in the air on the media platform. Ferguson also retreated, even if Millwall was about to kill him, he still faced as low-key as possible.


    Old Trafford was in the wind and rain, shrouded in the haze of a strong enemy after a three-game losing streak.


    There are already many Red Devils fans shouting at Ferguson!


    For the fifth consecutive year, the runner-up in the league has been crowned Champion Champion, but the patience of the Red Devils is dying.


    And this season, Ferguson sold Stam before the season, and the problems exposed by the back line were simply terrible. The Premier League is a team that seems to be able to advance a ball on the Red Devils. There are many irrational Red Devotees who believe that Ferguson led to such a situation. If Stam is not sold, why is Manchester United?


    The three-game losing streak in November brought the grievances of the fans to their peak.


    For no other reason, the championship fell through!


    After 15 rounds, Manchester United have 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses!


    What is the distance from Millwall? No more, no less than 15 points in five games!


    Christmas is not far away, and the Red Devils fans will not be very happy this year.


    In such a situation of internal and external troubles, Manchester United has shown a very delicate connection between the board of directors and the team management.


    Although at the end of August, a tabloid reported that Sir Charlton was dissatisfied that Ferguson bypassed the board and sold Stam directly, but when a fan organization played out the slogan of Ferguson''s get out of class, the Manchester United board of directors supported Ferguson.


    Little Edwards even personally came forward with a pretense and easily smiled and said: "We once gave Alex 7 years, he rewarded us with a period of glory, yes, we have not won the league title in the past five years, But it is only one step away, and we won the Champions League three years ago, which gives us sufficient confidence. We firmly believe that Alex can restore Manchester United¡¯s dominance in English football and give the coach full trust. This is Manchester United The tradition is also our philosophy of success."


    Dissatisfied fans rebuked Edwards and Ferguson for being raped!


    Ferguson was speechless.


    The Edwards family is disliked by the vast majority of Manchester United fans. Every season there will be some protests, because the Edwards family has only money in their eyes. The one who sells pork is to operate the Manchester United club as a business, and Ferguson coordinates the two. Mediator of the relationship.


    This is good, the fans protested the Edwards family, Ferguson came forward to mediate, the fans protested Ferguson, Edwards came forward to support Ferguson...


    How much patience does Edwards have and how much trust do he have in Ferguson?


    It''s hard to tell, because Aldrich learned some inside information from Andrew.


    After Manchester United lost to Chelsea, Edwards was furious in private. He asked a question that the entire Manchester United board could not answer.


    "If Ferguson is fired, who should we hire to restore Manchester United''s status as king?"


    No one can answer this question, and no one dares to answer it.


    In case Edwards really listens, fires Ferguson, and invites the person that the person said, if Manchester United still cannot subvert Millwall''s rule, who will bear the responsibility?


    Moreover, looking at Europe, which handsome coach dare to say that he can steal the throne from Millwall when he comes to the Premier League?


    For the Edwards family, the core of the problem is not how to dismiss Ferguson, but what to do after Ferguson is dismissed?


    In particular, Ferguson¡¯s dominance over the locker room is too strong. If he leaves, Manchester United, the star of this ticket, probably has more than half of them going to each thing immediately!


    In that case, the depreciation of Manchester United¡¯s market value will shrink Edwards¡¯ heart attack.


    ...


    Aldridge led his team to Old Trafford. When he walked into the court, it was rare. He stood on the side of the court and looked around the court with a thoughtful look.


    The atmosphere of the stadium has changed!


    Although there are fans in the stands firmly cheering for the Red Devils, the rhythm is not consistent. At the same time, it is clear that many fans have a sense of sight in the cold.


    It seems that the unique aura of Old Trafford is weakening bit by bit.


    I think that Millwall would come here for the first time in the Premier League. In the first game of the Premier League, the Red Devils Manchester United played like a guest.


    At that time, Old Trafford was awe-inspiring, and the Red Devils fans greeted the crazy lion with a unique arrogant gesture.


    Although Manchester United was counterattacked by Blackburn the previous season, but also in that season, the crazy lion crash at the end of the season, the Red Devils quickly regained the kingship.


    That is, since then, for five consecutive seasons, the Manchester United League will be inferior!


    The Red Devils fans noticed Aldridge''s move to stand on the sidelines and look around the stadium. The fans in the nearby stands looked indifferent.


    In their eyes, the Maotou boy came to Old Trafford with a group of unnamed people six years ago. An earth-shattering 5:5 kicked off the mad lion''s prelude to the Premier League. Six years later, the mad lion reigned In Europe, Aldridge, who is a world-famous lion, who doesn¡¯t know?


    Aldrich started walking slowly towards the visiting team coach seat, stepping on the turf of Old Trafford, step by step, step by step, like stepping on the historical spring and autumn, a short distance, spanning time, dreaming back to these six years Distance.


    Millwall, overthrowing Manchester United''s rule and knocking Manchester United down the altar.


    Now there is only one king of England, named Mad Lion!


    Aldridge walked to the visiting coach''s seat to stand and Ferguson had no intention of shaking hands with him before the game, so he did not look at the opponent. At this time, the opponent was unable to protect himself. It was the time when the dragon was in shallow water. The purpose is very clear, that is to spread salt on Manchester United wounds, to step Manchester United into the abyss!


    The current pattern of England also makes Aldridge firm his thoughts of retiring from the position of head coach after the World Cup next year.


    Because the spirit of Manchester United¡¯s king has been exhausted in the past five years. Without the stimulation of the championship, players¡¯ fighting spirit, fan mentality, club influence, football status, etc. will all decline significantly. Millwall is in full swing. As long as he has completed four consecutive league championships this season, Aldridge believes that Millwall¡¯s strong team heritage and spiritual temperament will also be shaped. He has completed the most difficult work, and then he can be The club owner enjoys life.


    The starting players of both sides walk out of the player channel and enter the field.


    "This round of the Premier League focus war started at Old Trafford, led by Millwall. In the first 15 rounds, they scored 12 wins and 3 draws. They scored 39 points in the standings, and Manchester United at home. After being defeated by Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea in a row, they only have 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses and 24 points. The gap with Millwall is too big, with 15 points. This season may be at the end of the half of the Premier League this season. Will lose the suspense of the champion again."


    "Martin, the problem of Manchester United is obvious. On the one hand, defense is on the other hand. On the other hand, this season, Manchester United have lost more than 3 goals in more than 5 games. In the last three rounds, they have lost 3 goals. Tottenham, Newcastle The United team has scored more than 3 goals in Manchester United. Among them, the game with Newcastle United, Manchester United also lost. And the offense? Is Ferguson''s key transformation this season, because the previous season, Manchester United 97 goals were scored, but only 79 last season, but Ferguson bought Belon to replace Scholes, which is puzzling because the difference between the number of goals in the previous season and last season is 18 , Which is almost 0.5 per game, obviously caused by the decline of York''s state, that is, the forward has a problem. This problem will be improved after Van Nistelrooy replaced York, but Ferguson bought Belon again. From August to December, should Belon¡¯s adaptation period pass? But we can¡¯t see that he has a clear advantage over Scholes. On the contrary, in some games, his disappearance is very prominent. In particular, he does not have the defensive ability of Scholes, which is one of the reasons why the Manchester United defense can''t bear to watch."


    "Now when it comes to Manchester United, there are always unspeakable problems, and their opponent today, Millwall, has shown a terrible stability. It can be said that Millwall has completely changed the conditions for the Premier League. In the Premier League, the championship is not just It depends on direct competition between competitors. At the same time, it is also fighting against its own ultimate ability. Only if he does not make mistakes can he have the opportunity to compete for the championship!"


    "Yes, that''s right. You know that Millwall''s fronts have not lost this season. The Champions League is still a five-game winning streak. Well, let''s take a look at the starting list of both sides.


    Manchester United, starting 442.


    Goalkeeper: Bartz.


    Defenders: Phil Neville, Gary Neville, Blank, Sylvester.


    Midfielders: Beckham, Keane, Belon, Giggs.


    Forwards: Van Nistelrooy, Solskjaer.


    Millwall, starting 433.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.


    Midfielders: Gattuso, Pirlo, Nedved.


    Forwards: Larson, Henry, Ronaldinho. "


    Aldridge showed a thoughtful look after seeing Manchester United''s starting lineup.


    Just looking at the starters, no matter how they are ranked, whether it is 442 or 433, or other ways of playing, it seems that the offense is stronger than the defense. That is to say, Manchester United is not facing the game with a defensive posture today.


    Thinking of this, Aldridge smiled silently.

 Chapter 695： Counterattack

    Ferguson had the same expression from the moment he appeared on the court to the start of the game, but in fact there was no expression.


    Today, Manchester United''s platoon formation has returned to tradition, or in these years, except for playing Millwall, they have always lived like this, flying together on both wings and absolutely attacking.


    However, since Millwall began to show the momentum of dominating the rivers and lakes, Ferguson also had to let Manchester United begin to restrict Millwall in a targeted manner. Therefore, in the past few confrontations, the formation of platoons and the tactical play have changed significantly.


    This season''s vision was originally very beautiful, joined Belon, added some changes on the basis of two wings flying, to make the play more abundant, just like Millwall, eighteen skills are afraid to be proficient, At least it wasn''t just about going back and forth with those three axes. Once it was restricted by the opponent, there was no backhand.


    Thousands of thousands of calculations, did not count on a bad luck autobiography.


    Stam has to go. There is nothing to dispute. If he stays, the locker room order and the authority of the head coach are the same as in the past?


    After the core of the defense, Manchester United''s back line has become a sieve, which has been devastated by various teams in the Premier League.


    Just three games in a row, Millwall went home again, could Ferguson do?


    To put it bluntly, either defend or attack.


    Going to the set of the mean, it must be hopeless and undoubtedly defeated!


    Defensive, at the door, Manchester United''s face is gone?


    Moreover, on this line of defense, even if 5 guards and 3 backs swing the bus, Ferguson feels unsure.


    It can only be attacked. If you lose the ball, you will definitely lose the ball, but if the offense can play a strange effect, you can score one more than the opponent. It doesn¡¯t matter if you lose a few. Besides, Millwall¡¯s defense is not super first-class. In suppressing opponents, defending instead of attacking!


    Manchester United simply played the counterattack, counting after 90 minutes, who scored more goals, and whose goalkeeper turned back to pick up the ball less often.


    Aldridge figured out Ferguson''s tactical intentions from the formation of Manchester United.


    It is no exaggeration to say that Manchester United''s lineup strength this season has fallen from the top of the first-class level to the super-first-class level. Sometimes, with one less person, the decline in the strength of the lineup is very obvious.


    After the black wind double shame, Manchester United has fallen out of super first-class strength. After Stam left, Manchester United alone is the last line of defense at the end of this first class, which makes the overall strength decline seriously, plus Veron replaces Scole Sri Lankan is not as good as Scholes, Manchester United''s decline in strength is not in dispute.


    At the beginning of the game, Manchester United organized an offensive, and Belon shot Schneider behind with a long pass in the midfield. Schneider actually came to the top!


    Giggs quickly flew to the bottom line, stopped the ball before the ball bounced again, and then quickly slashed into the penalty area. Solskjaer rushed forward and then braked back to win the space. Giggs passed the ball to So. Erskjaer, the latter stopped the ball, aimed at the goal, and kicked the ball.


    Bout prepared enough to block the ball, but the ball was still in the penalty area, Giggs first came and made another foot shot, but Bout hurriedly blocked the ball with the raised thigh, but the ball almost flew horizontally Towards the other side of the goal, Fanny just in front of the goal line subconsciously hit the body, the ball entered the goal.


    "Solskjaer, Giggs, Fanny! 21 seconds, opening 21 seconds, Manchester United scored! This is an unexpected result for everyone, Manchester United made a fantastic start! This attack originated from Belon¡¯s Accurate long pass, Schneider''s top error, Solskjaer''s shot is already very good, Bout continuously saves Solskjaer''s shot, Giggs makes up the shot, but Fanny is lucky, at the goal Qian Lao scored a goal, he blocked the ball like a stake and scored a goal! 1:0, Manchester United lead."


    Seeing the team score, Ferguson exhaled, but he did not have any expression of excitement or celebration.


    If the football game is as good as 30 seconds, Manchester United scores in 21 seconds, celebrates, restarts, and then the game ends immediately. Manchester United wins 1:0 and wins the ball...


    However, there was still a long 89 minutes, he knew that the game against Millwall, less than the last second, don''t think that saw the end.


    Aldrich put the bag in one hand, stretched out the other, and stared at Schneider with a cold face. He seemed silently asking: What are you doing?


    The defender''s peak, even the full-back, is a huge mistake.


    With no expression on his face, Schneider made a gesture of apology towards his teammates and secretly gritted his teeth.


    It is true that he made a pre-judgment error and there is nothing to deny.


    Millwall¡¯s players¡¯ expressions didn¡¯t change much, the game was just beginning, and a goal fell behind, giving them some pressure, but the pressure resistance that has been tempered over the years, especially when the game time is still 89 minutes, they did not. Any confusion.


    The game restarted, Millwall kicked in, and after a series of small-scale cooperation, Nedvide came to the penalty area for a long shot knocking on the mountain and the tiger was sent out by Bartzto.


    Three minutes later, Manchester United''s attack was frustrated. Belon was snatched by Nedved and Pirlo and lost the ball. Nedved turned and Belon went to grab Pirlo. The latter gently passed the ball forward. Devade took the ball and moved forward calmly.


    In front of Keane, Nedvide passed the ball to the left and Ronaldinho took the ball.


    Now, the smart and dexterous little Rhodes playing the ball will go straight to the middle of the road. He doesn''t know why. Anyway, Manchester United''s restricted area is very empty before and after today.


    Only Keene was alone, and Keane still had to follow Nedved, Ronaldinho didn''t have time to think, but Aldridge knew the reason, because in the past, the center-forward Scholes would return to defend here.


    Ronaldinho took the ball to the front center zone of the penalty area, Phil Neville played the right back, instinctively went out, but he found that he could not keep up with the speed of Ronaldinho''s cut to the middle road, he passed again, and his brother Gary Nei There was a conflict in Ville''s position, and it happened that he saw Zambrotta coming up again, and he did not dare to lose his position too seriously.


    Ronaldinho brought the ball to the middle of the penalty area, Nedved slanted into the ribs between Gary Neville and Phil Neville, and Keane watched Nedved''s running position. If he did not follow, he would make trouble Not good is Ronaldinho Ronaldo, easily penetrated the defense line.


    But at this time Henry pulled out again, Keane gave up Nedved, and instead stared at Henry, blocking Ronaldinho and Henry''s cooperation, Gary Neville went to stare at Nedved, and Larson now again Blanking the rib on the other side, Blank moved two steps to the left.


    All Manchester United players think that Ronaldinho will use a straight ball to penetrate Manchester United''s defense, but Ronaldinho uses Henry as a wall to separate Keane and enter the penalty area. Blank and Gary Neville are free because of the defense. Instead, the middle road portal exposed the flaws.


    Blank used his experience to decisively block the middle, but he was no longer young, and his speed was still slow. Ronaldinho made a change when he came to block, and directly brought the ball to the small penalty area line, facing Bartz , Ronaldinho easily pushed the goal to the dead end.


    After scoring, Ronaldinho steadily ran to the side with the gesture of "6".


    "Ronaldinho performed another magical performance! He made a long-distance attack from the side, as if he had killed a **** road from Manchester United''s middle road, kicked off Keane, passed Blank and then took the ball. Easy to enter the gate guarded by Bartz, is this still Manchester United? This kind of defense makes people feel incredible! Manchester United''s leading advantage has only been maintained for 5 minutes, and the score is now 1:1."


    Keane was very angry about losing the ball. He kept talking to Belon before the kick-off.


    It can be said that Millwall is only the attack group of this trident Ganedved. Even Manchester United, it is necessary to ensure that there are 6 defensive players.


    Because the situation like that just happened frequently.


    When the three attackers stand in the empty position of the four guards, it is dangerous, Keane is blocking Henry, and Ronaldinho is the fourth attacker, and Manchester United also needs to add a defensive player to follow Ronaldinho.


    At that moment, Manchester United''s full-back could not block the offensive player with an empty front rib.


    The situation is clear at a glance. Is Larsen close to the goal after the cut, or is Sylvester close to the goal? Larson can even shoot without stopping the ball. How many moves does Sylvester need to limit Larson''s shot? It is this factor that makes the double centre-back must be distracted to block the rib empty. The middle road portal may expose danger.


    Old Trafford seems to be used to being scored by Millwall.


    Manchester United fans have numb expressions, and they also want to ask, is there any team in this world that can limit Millwall''s offense?


    Ferguson and Heathfield had the same idea.


    Yes, there is definitely a way to limit Millwall''s attack!


    Add one more to the six defensive players!


    Like Aldridge''s tactics used in England, 4 guards plus 3 midfielders.


    But with such a tactical system, it is really difficult for the giants to persevere for a long time, and if you do not insist, there will be no team tacit understanding, and the technical and tactical power will not be exerted. It is just an empty shelf.


    This is why when Mourinho¡¯s Chelsea promoted Europe with a tactical system of approximately 4 guards and 3 backs, the outside world will not widely recognize Chelsea as a Premier League giant, because the giants, in addition to their heritage, are based on the pursuit of victory. , Have a higher pursuit.


    Victory, which team does not pursue victory? What is the difference between giants and civilian teams?


    But like Real Madrid''s football philosophy that always pursues a gorgeous style, even if it is missed in the Champions League, people will not remove the word giants from its top.


    Aldridge saw Ronaldinho score a goal and exhaled, not too surprised.


    Manchester United''s defense, in addition to the lack of mainstay Stam, there is another layer of the most critical is Scholes was replaced by Belon.


    In this way, Millwall''s midfielder''s attack is unimpeded!


    From organization to infiltration, to the threat in the final restricted zone, this change is very critical.


    First of all, Belon was unable to play a significant role in procrastinating and harassing in the midfield and frontcourt. Secondly, the lack of positive defensive ability and the ability to return to defense declined linearly. Playing ordinary teams may not see a particularly big problem.


    But in the face of Millwall''s superb offensive ability, especially in the context of the super fast attack and defense rhythm of the Premier League, the disappearance of Belon in defense almost exposed Manchester United''s defense line to Millwall''s firearms.


    Millwall itself also has weaknesses at this point, and Pirlo''s defensive ability can''t be expected, but Pirlo can play harassment and use reasonable positions to help, because its position is behind, it can act as a move The role of obstacles, Belon is a center-forward, and in Lazio, he hit the front waist again. He has a stronger forward consciousness, and he can¡¯t take care of it in the back. When he turns around and runs back, sorry, he has been thrown off the street. .

 Chapter 696： Giants

    After Millwall equalized, Aldridge glanced at Ferguson, who was still expressionless and chewing gum, probably a way to relieve stress.


    How many goals will Manchester United score against Millwall today?


    Aldridge gave his team a tactical instruction with a big wave.


    Want to attack? Then attack vigorously!


    Accompaniment to the end!


    Although Millwall has entered the super first-class strength state, that is to say, this team, even if there is no coach on the spot, arrange before the game, face all opponents with the usual style of play, excluding external factors, 70% The game should be able to take it down.


    But if one of the most powerful teams can sweep all opponents and harvest all trophies without a head coach, this will only be a layman''s opinion.


    No matter how strong the team is, it is impossible to win all the time. Someone needs to be able to unify the thinking of the main force with more than 20 players, stabilize the team¡¯s state, make correct and appropriate adjustments, and the team¡¯s own ability to adjust on the field, It is also possible to encounter targeted sniper attacks by opponents without relying on the head coach? Rely on the players to solve all the difficulties? This is impossible. Especially, players on the field have different roles. Forwards focus on offense and defenders focus on defense. When in trouble, the two''s conflicting ideas or differences will make the team''s whole fall apart. No matter how powerful The team may also be fragmented in an instant.


    Facing today''s game, Aldridge has many choices, defensive counterattack, active attack, or slowing down the pace to consume opponents, no matter which one, the odds are very high, this is Millwall''s hard power as a guarantee, but There is a big premise that the whole team is united in thinking and resolutely executes the same tactics.


    Now, Aldridge chose to attack.


    It is not a conventional offensive and defensive balance that changes the rhythm by chance, but a crazy one! Take a risky attack!


    Corresponding to the change in the situation on the court, Millwall launched a high-pressure press, and the two full-backs directly turned into traditional wingers after assisting.


    All of a sudden Manchester United failed to adapt to the rhythm of Millwall''s crazy momentum and was caught flat-footed.


    No matter how Millwall plays, one of their characteristics is that the three lines are closely connected. Although it is not foolproof, the football field does not have the tactics of dripping and winning.


    In the 10th minute, Beckham''s dribble was caught by Zambrotta. As a last resort, Beckham passed the ball to Belon. The latter turned and saw Pirlo. Pirlo stood in front of him to the left. At the same time, he actively took the steal and Belon deftly took the ball away and took a step forward from the right front. After one step, Gattuso broke the ball successfully!


    This is the role of Pirlo in defense. It may not be necessary to succeed in stealing, but it must force the opponent to make a change in the rhythm of the ball. If the opponent is passing, Pirlo will move back and continue to find the most suitable. The position of the "moving stake", and when the rhythm of the opponent''s dribbling changes, like the ball of Belon, Gattuso has been waiting behind Pirlo.


    Gattuso crossed the ball to Schneider.


    Giggs just inserted in the front, Belon failed to pass the ball, and when Giggs turned back, Schneider started earlier than him and took the ball all the way forward without hindrance.


    After halftime, he continued to move forward. Schneider seemed to be going all the way to black.


    Sylvester has also played against Millwall a lot on behalf of Manchester United. He has experience. With Schneider assists, Giggs is chasing back. He must not go to the bottom line and must follow Larson!


    Schneider brought the ball all the way to the side in front of the penalty area, and Giggs also chased him back. Larsen cut into it, and there were already a lot of people in the penalty area.


    Schneider kicked the ball back and passed it back to the middle. Pirlo followed up. Although he was further away from the penalty area, Pirlo was unmarked.


    Pirlo continued to take the ball forward. He also felt strange to play Manchester United today. They were all forty yards away from the goal, but there were no Manchester United players around to mark him!


    After all, it was Belon''s change, but Solskjaer had a stronger sense of defense, but he ran back from the end of the front line. At this time, it was still 5 meters away from Pirlo.


    Manchester United''s four guards Ga Keen are all blocked in the penalty area, compressing the space in the danger zone, and never giving Pirlo a chance to use a scalpel.


    Pirlo brought the ball to the penalty area and made a long-range posture, which only made Manchester United''s defense loose. Keane came to block his shot with his body, but Pirlo faked a real pass and crossed the ball. Knock on the left.


    Zambrotta, who switched routes from Beckham''s side, started, and Beckham couldn''t keep up when he found out.


    Pirlo passed the ball very comfortably, the ball was not fast, and there was an advance. Zambrotta rushed from the left to the penalty area. No one could interfere with him. He did not need to stop the ball. The ball was a heavy bombardment. door!


    The ball, like a cannonball, went straight to the center of Manchester United''s goal. The ball was a bit floating, but the angle was not too good, it was obviously very positive.


    But Batz didn''t dare to take care of it. He couldn''t catch it. He hit the ball with his double fists. The ball was like a big kick by the goalkeeper. He flew into the sky and left Manchester United''s penalty area.


    Belon looked at the ball that flew back, just in front of him, he was about to stop the ball, but did not expect huge pressure to hit him, Gattuso squeezed Belon from behind!


    After squeezing the opponent away, Gattuso stuck his head and moved forward. Pirlo, who was running back, stopped the ball, pulled the ball and turned, and in the blink of an eye, he took Manchester United''s defense into his eyes. Straight plug came out, wonderful to the top!


    Manchester United had just been hit by a wave of offense, the ball was blocked by the goalkeeper, like a big foot clearance, the danger was lifted, the defensive player slightly relieved to press the formation outward, unexpectedly Gattuso header, Pirlo stopped the ball and turned, In less than 3 seconds, Millwall''s second attack swept through!


    The line of defense has been chaotic at this time, and the man-marking task is chaotic. It is not that Manchester United itself is chaotic. Their formation is very regular. The four guards line up, there is a waist in front, and the bilateral forwards are moving forward.


    But Millwall''s offensive points are unevenly distributed.


    When Gattuso headed to Pirlo, Nedvide, Henry, Larson, they all observed that no one was harassing Pirlo, then they immediately prepared for a second attack.


    Larson went down the middle and Henry and Nedved ran to the left rib. In some cases, Millwall''s offense was dominant!


    Pirlo''s over-the-top straight was looking for the area of ??Henry and Nedved.


    Henry and Nedved succeeded in counteroffside at the same time!


    It seems that the two have grabbed the same point. In many games, such behavior will be considered by the critics to be uncooperative, but in Millwall''s tactical arrangement, this is what Aldridge requires.


    Because the two press a point at the same time, it will also cause interference to the defensive players, which one is it?


    Obviously, as the striker, Henry has a better position, and Nedved consciously moves to the middle of the goal. Whether it is a supplementary shot or as a contact point, this choice makes the attack success rate increase again!


    Unmarked Henry was very sure of the ball. He chose to come and face the goal side, facing the falling ball. He shot firmly with his arch and volleyed the ball. The distance from the goal was not too close. Buttez came out. Opening his arms to expand the defensive area, but the ball flew from under his open arms, straight into the goal behind him.


    "Millwall reversed the score in the 12th minute! Pirlo''s pass was too imaginative. When the Manchester United defense just pressed outwards, Pirlo''s pass crossed the Manchester United zone from the air. Henry and Nedved were at the same time. The anti-offside was successful, and Nedvide obviously gave way to the other side of the goal. Only when Henry shot, we saw that except Bartz, the three closest players to the Manchester United goal were all Millwall''s offensive players, Lal Sen, Nedved, Henry, even if Henry does not shoot, he can easily send a assist, but he is confident in himself. This is the instinct of the shooter. He cleverly shoots through the fingers of Bartz. turn off!"


    After scoring a goal, Henry ran to the side to prepare for a kneeling celebration, beckoning Pirlo on the road.


    Aldridge turned to take a sip of mineral water and looked around the stadium. Old Trafford seemed very quiet.


    Manchester United was reversed and Ferguson walked to the sidelines. He could be heard sporadic from the stands.


    The game restarted, and after another 7 minutes, Zambrotta, the Italian who can now rank in the top five of the world-class full-backs, drove into the lightning fast. After Ronaldinho pinned the Neville brothers, he came to the bottom. After receiving Ronaldinho''s skillful picking pass, he vigorously passed the ball and kicked it in front of the goal.


    After all, Blank is still old, and his speed can''t keep up. Nedved attracted Keene. Gary Neville couldn''t stop the front point for the first time. The confrontation between Henry and Blank seemed completely different.


    When Henry snatched the ball before Bartez fell to the ground and took the ball, Blank was two meters away from Henry. As if Henry had scored, he just started.


    "20 minutes! 20 minutes! Millwall not only reversed Manchester United, but also expanded the score to 3:1, Henry scored twice, and look at his fiery state, it is likely to stage a hat trick!"


    Aldridge looked mad.


    After fighting with Manchester United for six years, this is the seventh year. From the pride of playing against Manchester United, Millwall has today stepped on the foot of the former king. Maybe not many people understand the significance of this, especially to For Aldridge.


    He still can''t forget the expression of Stam when he was going to Manchester United, every sentence, every word, his tone, his attitude.


    Not just Stam, but that is the epitome of Millwall''s football status in an era.


    Is Stam just wanting to go to Manchester United?


    No, Larson, Trezeguet, Thuram and many other good players at that time wanted to join a bigger club.


    They were not born with loyalty to Millwall, and Aldridge did not require them to have it. That was hard for the strongman, and he never resented Stam, even when he left to make an apprentice break.


    He should cherish what he has left and who has stayed in the team so far and has become the Millwall banner.


    In this time when fighting side by side, Nedved, Larsen, Schneider, Southgate and other players have become loyalty benchmarks. In the future, some people will still leave, but there must also be loyalists.


    The most important thing is that there are no Millwall players who are going to pursue the posture of honor to join Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ??Juventus, AC Milan and so on.


    It''s not that these giants have become worthless, but Millwall is already a giant, and is the most successful and most concerned giant in the contemporary era!

 Chapter 697： Feng Shui rotation

    Manchester United conceded three consecutive goals in 20 minutes, and the weakness of the back line was clear at a glance.


    It''s hard to blame how Blanke was. Manchester United introduced him as a temporary supporter and sent away Stam, asking for a suitable substitute. It happened that Brown was injured again. Blank has a lot of chances to play this season, but he has become the Premier League. One of the targets ravaged by the crowd.


    History is always vague. Aldridge vaguely remembers that Blank was in the rhythm of retirement at Manchester United, but when he became a coach and made little success, Ferguson¡¯s retired successor was selected, and Blank once walked with Manchester United. It¡¯s very close, I don¡¯t rule out the influence of Fleet Street Hype, but it¡¯s true that Blanc had played for Manchester United and had the background of ¡°Ferguson¡¯s Disciple¡±, but Ferguson likes to say that he intends to retire, but he always makes waves Waves, calm down by yourself, you can''t regret it.


    Manchester United''s offensive players found that the back defense could not withstand, and they could not get the ball on the front line, so they all went back to defend honestly, and the scene became Millwall''s pressure on Manchester United.


    The exception is one person. That is Belon. He is still in the middle of the circle, waiting for his teammate to pass him.


    In the case of Millwall''s high pressure to close the three lines, Belon is more like a Manchester United striker.


    Ferguson saw the scene silently on the sidelines.


    There is no doubt that Millwall is in control of the game.


    But Manchester United is not without opportunities.


    The key point of the game is the offensive and defensive conversion!


    Millwall successfully counter-robbed and continued to attack.


    If Manchester United is oversuccessfully transferred from defense to defense, Manchester United''s offensive opportunities are better!


    However, he had high hopes for him. As the core of this offensive and defensive conversion, Belon performed terribly.


    He has Millwall''s defender in front of him and Millwall''s midfielder. dream!


    Belon is also a geek, it seems that he can only play his talent in the front waist position. You know, Belon joined Manchester United in the summer, the aura on his head is the top three midfielders in the world!


    But he couldn''t find any feeling in the position of Manchester United''s centre-forward. Occasionally, there were excellent works, but they did not match his worth at all. Being slammed as parallel does not mean that he is worthless. He can only say that he did not show that he was worth. The strength, just like the Red Devils fans later criticized the stern younger Berbatov, also said that he is a parallel, but the number of goals Berberov season money, at least worth 15 million pounds, but he is still parallel, the reason It was just too expensive when bought.


    If Belon bought it for 10 million pounds, then according to his performance, it is worth it.


    Can Manchester United level clubs, midfielder core players, 10 million pounds level, worthy?


    Just like Aldridge felt sorry to let Carrick go, but let him go, the reason is also here, Carrick''s future peak can reach more than 15 million pounds worth of money, Millwall''s rich configuration, midfield organization At the core, it will start at least 20 million pounds worth, and it is the same in every other position. The defender''s worth is generally lower, but like Schneider, it is also at least 15 million pounds worth of starting. Zambrotta is younger, and the value will still be higher.


    To compare the strength of the team, the first step is to first look at the total value of players, and then to study the soft power gain or decrease brought by other technical and tactical aspects.


    In the final analysis, it is still a question of the technical characteristics of the style of play. Belon is at least much better than the folks like Riquelme and Aimar. He has at least reached the peak in Serie A and enjoyed the glory.


    But today''s game is obviously not what he wants to remember.


    The Manchester United team withdrew their defense, Millwall oppressed the offense, and there were dangers in front of the door.


    In the 33rd minute, Henry almost staged a shocking golden hook to break the goal in front of the door, but the ball finally kicked off.


    Keane was going crazy, taking the opportunity of a dead ball, he ran to roar at Belon.


    Solskjaer ran back to the penalty area and defended. Giggs and Beckham couldn''t even pass the halftime. It wasn''t Millwall that was too fierce, but Manchester United''s offensive and defensive hub could not be reached!


    It''s like Beckham retreating to the right in front of the penalty zone when defending. When he gets the ball from the defense, Zambrotta immediately harassed him, and there is Ronaldinho coming behind to grab and grab. Beckham can''t break through. The same is true for Giggs on the side. Millwall''s crazy anti-robbing is strategic. In this case, the full-back is waiting for you to break through and then intercept the ball. The retreating winger is intercepted at the bottom.


    Faced with this dilemma, Beckham must pass the ball, pass back unsecured, pass to the middle, Henry follows Keane, Nedved is in front of Keane, Solskjaer wants the ball, but is in Near Pirlo, besides, organizing an offense is not the job of Solskjaer''s forward. Give him the ball, and the drop rate must be much higher than the organization''s midfield in the given tactics.


    At this time, it is definitely necessary for Belon to organize in the middle.


    Even if he doesn''t pass the ball to him, he can distract Millwall''s defensive attention, ease the pressure on Keane and other teammates, pass the ball, and quickly transfer, Manchester United''s attack can only have a way out.


    Belon did well, staying honestly in front of him like the uncle, better than the treatment of the striker, and raising his hands to ask for the ball in a serious way, which angered his teammates.


    Ferguson''s patience with Belon will soon disappear. In this scene, if Belon can retreat like Pirlo, even if his rhythm is slow and the speed is not fast, but he can pass a few **** with his teammates steadily. Control the scene, so that Manchester United will not be turned from defense to pass and even the pass is extremely difficult. Then, after the initial crazy anti-robbing unsuccessful, Millwall immediately withdrew from the front and started regular defense. He can show his long pass of ecstasy.


    By all means, he just couldn''t achieve his expected performance.


    After being roared by Keane, Veron can only obey the captain to request a position retreat.


    However, the further back the position, the more Belon seemed to lose himself.


    In the 41st minute, Ronaldinho was long-ranged by Neville in the front of the penalty area, Keane protected the ball and turned to pass the ball to Belon not far away.


    Belon took the ball from his back. Perhaps he was overconfident in the technique and made a move to pull the ball. Pirlo was behind him and his right foot extended. It was the side where Belon pulled the ball and the ball was left. Belon stumbled and fell.


    Pirlo took a step forward and passed directly to Nedved, who was also facing away from Manchester United, but he directly kicked the ball before Keane forced the ball and knocked the ball to the left.


    The ball returned to Ronaldinho''s feet. This time, he continued to make long-range shots. Neville just blocked a shot. This time he planned to reapply the trick and use his body to block it. As a result, Ronaldinho faked the action lightly. Rogue Ronaldo hit the penalty area and shot into the far corner of the pocket. Buttz looked at the ball with excitement and did not make any saves. He turned his head and looked around. The ball hung upright and hit the post.


    "4:1, Ronaldinho also scored twice. It seems that Millwall completely tactically restrained Manchester United today. They are very effective in anti-robbing. It doesn''t matter if one attack can''t be played, and the chance of a second attack. Better! I don¡¯t know if tactics like Millwall will form the mainstream. There are already many teams learning their way of playing. They are crazy to grab in the midfield and frontcourt. After they succeed, they will play fast breaks. "


    Many fans in Old Trafford started to retreat. I don¡¯t know if they will come back to watch the second half, and the fans of the Lions coming from afar have already begun to party.


    "Manchester United, Manchester United, who is the boss of England?"


    From the beginning of last season, when fans face Manchester United, they like to sing the lyrics in unison. After the adaptation, it sounds cheerful and rhythmic, and they jump on the stands. It is really like a party.


    Millwall players gathered to celebrate, the mood was agitated and the smile was frivolous.


    Manchester United players are speechless, and Keane is too lazy to accuse Belon.


    He is a sinkhole!


    Blank was beaten, and Manchester United players couldn''t bear to blame. Everyone was old. They were here to save the fire, not to pick the beam.


    Belon came to bear the value of the transfer record in England, the club from top to bottom, from inside to outside, everyone hopes that he can carry the Manchester United flag.


    It''s not an exaggeration to say that, because Ferguson is changing Manchester United''s technical and tactical style and is a transformation attempt.


    The league suffered a three-game losing streak against rivals, plus today they were beaten 1:4 before the first half against Millwall, Ferguson not only understood, but also bowed to reality.


    Manchester United''s transformation this season ended in failure!


    Belon is 26 years old. When he adapts to the Premier League or changes his style of play, the difficulty itself is not small. Manchester United, as a top club, has a long history of the giants, in the context of the huge pressure of contemporary records, sorry, Manchester United can¡¯t wait. Up!


    "At the end of the first half, Millwall walked into the locker room with a 4-1 lead. Andy, what do you think of the first half?"


    "The feng shui turns, Manchester United has always been a great team that has created pain for other teams, and some clubs hate them."


    "For example, Ipswich, who was once slaughtered by Manchester United for 9 goals, now it is Manchester United''s turn to be slaughtered by a stronger team, haha."


    "I think the key point is that, first of all, Manchester United did not clarify their position, their defense has hidden worries, Gary Neville is a guest center defender, Blank is 36 years old, how can he keep up with 24 years old? The peak of Henry? Keane''s confrontation with Nedved is evenly divided. He is unable to provide more protection to the back line. If Manchester United can clearly recognize the strength of the two teams, Ferguson should let Manchester United play conservatively, maybe This is the dignity of Manchester United¡¯s giants that forced Ferguson to make Manchester United take a strong posture at Old Trafford. Secondly, it must be said that Belon performed very badly in today¡¯s game, although he had a beautiful long at the opening Passing the offense made Manchester United score, but his non-existence in defense and the goal loss after being stealed in a critical area cannot be ignored. He still did not adapt to the fast pace of the Premier League. Perhaps, he should not look at the opposite side Pirlo calmly controlled the ball, allowing the ball to stay longer at his feet, because Pirlo''s position is safe, he should look at Nedved, Nedved is more similar to his position on offense, but Nedved has a one-footed ball with a clear rhythm and clear offensive thinking. The ball, running position, catching, shooting, and running position are the Premier League. The closer to the goal, the faster the ball needs to be handled. Of course, Rona It''s another matter for a player with a strong breakthrough ability, like Elginio. Just like Manchester United''s Giggs also has this ability, but Bellon, he does not have this ability to get rid of the defensive breakthrough."


    "I think now all Manchester United fans are missing one person."


    "Yes, Scholes! Ferguson should regret his attempt to replace Scholes with Belon. Scholes is very low-key outside the field, but the role on the field is difficult to replace. It is the kind of you who might have him. I don¡¯t think he is the most important one, but without him, you will find that you have lost the most critical power."


    Martin Taylor and Andy Gray warmly discussed the first half of the game in the midfield. When the second half of the game was about to start, their discussion at the midfield was confirmed.


    Belon was replaced and Scholes returned to the Red Devils!

 Chapter 698： Self-denial

    Just last month, November.


    There was a fierce conflict between Ferguson and Scholes.


    The direct reason is that Scholes was arranged by Ferguson to play the League Cup, just after Manchester United were defeated 3-1 by Liverpool.


    Scholes made a strike on Ferguson''s arrangement, refusing to play.


    Manchester United were 0:4 slaughtered by Arsenal in that League Cup.


    The deeper reason behind it, Aldridge doesn¡¯t know, but he can think of Scholes as his absolute main force in the national team, and in Manchester United, it was also the absolute main force, but this season, Ferguson replaced Scol with Belon Sri Lanka, the Mud Bodhisattva has a three-point fire, how can Scholes accept it?


    Especially during the same period, he performed well in the national team, led England to slaughter Germany away in the previous month, defeated Greece, and entered the World Cup.


    This season, it was very important for the international. The main position in Scholes club was lost. To go to the League Cup, a stage that belongs to the bench training in the eyes of the giants, he will of course be angry.


    However, the strike is definitely wrong.


    He and Ferguson''s cold war also maintained a short period of time, and even the media revealed that Ferguson would clean Scholes in winter.


    The league defeated Arsenal again, and was defeated by Chelsea to a three-game losing streak. Ferguson was still angry, his coach position was in jeopardy, he immediately put away the idea of ??cleaning Scholes, today 45 minutes against Millwall, Ferguson awakened, Belon, not reliable, still rely on Scholes.


    It can be said that Scholes''s Red Devil career is very lucky. If you change the background, it is the Red Devils in the sky, and it is a three-match winning streak in the Manchester United League. Belon also performed well. The only disciple of Ferguson''s coaching career who has such a serious "disobedience" behavior as a striker can still die in Manchester United!


    Realizing that the importance of Scholes was not in today¡¯s game, Ferguson began to ease his relationship with Scholes in the league¡¯s three-game losing streak, and internally penalized Scholes for two weeks¡¯ salary. Si apologized to the whole team, and then, the mentor and apprentice were considered good.


    In the second half, when Scholes appeared, the long-dead Old Trafford sounded a warm applause.


    Support for their own youth players is the norm of every club¡¯s die-hard fans, just like the children in the eyes of their parents, watching them grow, watching their scenery, and watching them fall, no regrets, silent support, accompanied by wind and rain .


    Aldrich also likes Scholes. Scholes is a half of his disciple. The so-called thing is rare. If Scholes is injured, he has no substitute for the national team. Joe Cole Not to mention the style of play, the gap between overall strength and Scholes spans a large level.


    In his heart, Aldridge still hopes that Scholes will get at least proper and reasonable treatment at Manchester United, not material but athletic.


    Not only is he hoping to guarantee the status of the international team, but he is also emotionally on his side.


    So he was certainly dissatisfied with Ferguson''s replacement of Scholes with Belon. After all, there was a conflict of interest.


    Aldridge walked to Ferguson before the second half and said a word softly.


    "If you have always trusted Paul, today''s game will not be like this."


    Aldrich turned and walked away. Ferguson''s face was green, and he said to Aldridge''s back, "This is Manchester United''s business, my business, it has nothing to do with you!"


    Aldrich turned around and spread his hands and said: "Yes, Alex, me and you, are the people who carry the club''s honor and humiliation on the shoulders. The team is successful. It is ours. Failure is ours too! Maybe you think I¡¯m talking coldly, then, I tell you, what I said to you in the summer of seven years ago is serious, and I can also tell you if you were willing to sell Paul to Me, I sold all the property and I will give you a record price in England to take him away!"


    Ferguson''s eyes were in a trance, and his thoughts really seemed to have returned to the summer of seven years ago. At that time, in the back garden of his home, 18-year-old Audridge came to ask for Beckham. Ferguson joked that he might do a deal with Audridge. Aldridge rebelled against the generals, and eventually changed the subject...


    The on-site rebroadcast shot captured the scene of the two coaches talking, but did not include the content of the two men''s conversation, but this scene is still fascinating.


    Aldridge regretted walking back to the coach.


    I found myself doing a stupid thing.


    Just now I was unable to suppress the idea of ??wanting to start for Scholes. As an opponent, he respected Scholes, but when he became the coach of the England national team, such emotions became complicated, because he is the coach, he took it for granted There will be emotions for protecting the calves. Between the club and the national team coach, working hours and tasks are clearly separated, but emotions are sometimes easily confused, just like sometimes people can''t tell what is friendship and love.


    Scholes played, but it was not a good time. It can be said that he played only when there was no suspense in the game.


    And he is not a player of the kind of spiritual leader, he can not cheer up the whole team.


    Three consecutive losing games in the league. Arsenal slaughtered in the League Cup. Official game. Manchester United lost in a row. 13 games were scored in four games. Today is the fifth game. The fourth game in the league was beaten in the first half. The gap between four and three goals has given Manchester United players a very heavy blow!


    Everyone has limits.


    One goal behind, the Red Devils rose to catch up.


    Two goals behind, the Red Devils vowed to resist.


    Three behind, the Red Devils exploded magically.


    Behind, behind, behind, one, two, three, four, reverse? In the three previous league games, have the Red Devils ever tried it? All of their efforts ended in failure. If they fail too much, their will will sink.


    What about giants?


    The giants will not be possessed by the spirits. If they lose to a certain degree, the team will collapse, be depressed, and lose their motivation to resist fate!


    Ferguson showed his stubbornness, and he must still inspire the team at halftime. After Manchester United played at Scholes in the second half, he still opened up to fight against Millwall.


    Many **** Red Devils fans in the stands saw such a posture as Manchester United. They did not give up on the game and kept pursuing it. They believed that this was a fine tradition of Manchester United. The Red Devils spirit did not disappear, and the spirit of the Red Devils¡¯ fighting spirit did not collapse. This deserves their praise. Therefore, every time the Red Devils attacked, there were applause and cheers from the stands.


    The tactical effect brought by Scholes is obvious. That is to strengthen Manchester United''s central defense. Pirlo can''t organize the offense as leisurely as the first half, and the power of central penetration is also greatly reduced.


    Aldrich also made corresponding adjustments.


    Isn''t Manchester United flying on two wings?


    Millwall will use his own way to cure his own body, and blast your side!


    Schneider and Larsson, Zambrotta and Ronaldinho, the combination of these two front and back offenses needless to say, the strength is obvious to all.


    After they pressed up, Beckham and Giggs had to return to defense, but in the rhythm of the offensive and defensive transition, as long as Manchester United is slightly out of touch, Millwall will launch a fatal blow from the side.


    In the 52nd minute, Nedvide''s long shot was blocked, Scholes took the ball to cooperate with Beckham, turned around and then received Beckham''s back pass, and a long pass directly hung to Millwall On the field, Fanny took the right moment to start, just like the rhythm of going to the meeting alone.


    "Wow, Scholes made an accurate long pass in the backcourt, Van Nistelrooy had a chance to get a single shot, hey, Southgate dragged Van Nistel, but Bout also abandoned the door for the first time, in the big penalty area Outside, the ball was kicked out, and the ball was passed to Materazzi, Millwall was shocked!"


    Scholes''s ball gave the Red Devils fans hope, and Ferguson also understood that in the British transcendence is a high-level confrontation, the faster the rhythm, the simpler and more effective the handling of the ball, Scholes just touched twice The ball, once back to Pirlo knocked the ball horizontally to Beckham, after passing the ball and turned over Pirlo, Beckham returned to him, he directly took the ball to find Fanny, is it simple? It is very simple and does not require any gorgeous skills, but the wisdom of playing the ball, the overall situation, and the timing are reflected at the moment when the pass turns and plays.


    It can be said that the biggest weakness of Millwall''s high-pressure forced tactics is that he was unsuccessful in counter-robbing. He was directly attacked by the opponent behind the defender. If the opponent wants to complicated the attack, Millwall is happy, the more simple the opponent is. In a rough manner, Millwall is more likely to be caught by opponents.


    It¡¯s not to say that a team that plays in the backcourt can certainly create a threat. First, the passer must have a footwork, second, there must be vision, and finally, the forward¡¯s personal ability must also keep up, which itself requires the team¡¯s strength. The level cannot be low.


    Manchester United seems to have seen a promising goal, the formation has also been opened, Solskjaer has also begun to move forward, and can add an anti-offside point. Millwall would be unrealistic in trying to defend easily.


    However, just 4 minutes later, Schneider made a chaos in the Manchester United defense after a pass on the right and broke the bottom. Neville''s clearance was not clean. Henry took the opportunity to make another shot and went to the next city. He staged a hat trick. At the same time, it also expanded the score to 5:1.


    Millwall is getting more and more excited. They are playing the average team now. They have very low satisfaction. They have a sense of routine numbness and the rhythm is basically the same. As long as the score gap is pulled to 2 goals, they will consciously start to control the game. Rhythm.


    Only when they play the giants, they are very excited. Even though Manchester United''s strength has declined this season, the name of the giants is still there. This dialogue of the giants is enough to give them the power to show their full strength.


    In the 72nd minute of the game, Ronaldinho used a direct free kick to break through Bartz''s ten fingers, and he also staged a hat trick.


    The Old Trafford scoreboard clearly shows a score of 1:6 to make the Red Devils fans feel cut.


    In injury time, Klose, who came off the bench, locked the final score at 7:1.


    "7:1, this is a score that no one could have expected before the game, Andy, I don''t know why, I suddenly felt that the score was very reasonable."


    "Huh? 7:1, reasonable? Are you crazy?"


    "No, Liverpool won Manchester United 3-1, Arsenal won Manchester United 3-1 in the league, Chelsea won Manchester United 3-0 in Old Trafford, Arsenal won most of the bench Manchester United in the League Cup At 4:0, Millwall''s main force went all in. In 90 minutes, Arsenal played Manchester United 7:1 in 180 minutes. Don''t you think that this score is actually reasonable?"


    "Martin, Manchester United fans will hate you..."


    "No, they will hate Hall!"


    Aldrich did not shake hands with Ferguson after the game, some Red Devils fans in the stands were reluctant to leave. Perhaps, in the eyes of many **** Red Devils fans, Manchester United today showed bravery, magic, bloodiness, okay, whatever, whatever Right.


    Aldrich doesn''t care.


    He took a 7:1 score and left the league with a huge advantage of 18 points before halfway through the league.

 Chapter 699： Thunder furious

    Ferguson himself denied the attempted transformation of Manchester United this season. No matter how he explained it, he replaced Belon. This fact can not be changed. Four domestic league matches plus a cup and five consecutive losses. Then count as the middle of the Champions League. In the draw, Manchester United was unbeaten in 6 rounds of various events. After the 1:7 massacre at home, what was left to Manchester United was a flood.


    When Aldridge was interviewed after the game, the BBC reporter said something like this.


    "No one was optimistic about Manchester United''s victory before the game. Millwall had an expected victory, but can you think of a 7:1 big score victory?"


    Aldrich did not answer the question: "Since Millwall meets Manchester United, and is at Manchester United''s home game, the outside world is generally optimistic about Millwall, then, how far is Manchester United from Millwall?"


    "This, Millwall is recognized as the strongest team in Europe, Manchester United, now in trouble."


    "I''ll answer your previous question. In the past, Millwall played against Manchester United. It would be the top contest. Now, as most people think subconsciously, Manchester United is not Millwall''s opponent. So, we win Manchester United, Of course, it is not very important to win a few. Of course, no one can predict the 7:1 score. The specific game will be resumed and left to the ball critics."


    Aldrich turned around and left. The reporter quickly asked aloud: "Mr. Hall, what do you think caused the gap between Millwall and Manchester United to be so huge?"


    "Because Millwall has tapped all the potential of the main lineup, we have been improving and improving over the past few years, while Manchester United, they are just standing still or even going backwards."


    "Then do you think Millwall is perfect?"


    "Of course not, there is no perfect team, but the biggest question we have now is: why is there no team that can challenge us in England? If traditional giant teams like Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool can''t put their strength back Moving up, Millwall may decline because of a lack of matching opponents. If that happens, I can only say that this is a big conspiracy."


    "conspiracy?"


    "Yes, they did not use the correct and positive challenger posture to stimulate the king. On the contrary, they used a negative and weak way to kill our fighting spirit, and then waited for our mental fatigue to affect the strength state, and became with them. At the same level, we will try to challenge our hegemony again."


    Aldrich turned away.


    The next day, the "Sun" intercepted the picture of the game, and Aldridge and Ferguson were not far away from the moment of a conversation.


    The picture with text is a sentence in front of Aldridge.


    "Why? Why can no one challenge Millwall''s dominance? Is this your conspiracy?"


    David Miller wrote in the column: As Hall said after the game, if the Premier League team cannot improve its strength and put pressure on Millwall, the strongest Millwall in Europe may indeed be because of the decline in the will. Affecting the strength, this is not a worry for the Hall Qi people. A super strong team needs to challenge. It is necessary to maintain combat effectiveness and combat desire through difficult battles. But looking at the current standings, Millwall has 13 wins and 3 draws, with 42 points Manchester United are 18 points behind them. Arsenal will be visiting the Lion King Stadium in the next round. They have achieved 8 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses in the 16 rounds, only 29 points, 13 points from Millwall, so huge Millwall, the leading player, doesn''t feel the pressure from competitors at all, or does Millwall have competitors? According to their current score-taking momentum, Millwall is likely to refresh the Premier League points record again this season. If all this comes true, I can boldly predict that even if Millwall retains the main lineup next summer, they are in the league. There will definitely be a significant decline in their performance, because they don¡¯t need to win 100 points to win the championship. As long as they score 90 points and 85 points, they may be able to firmly win the league title, but in this case, Millwall will still be Is it so powerful now?


    ...


    In the final round of the first stage of the Champions League group stage, Millwall sat at home against Porto.


    Before the game, there was pressure from the Italian media, fearing that Millwall would release Juventus, and Aldridge was furious at the pre-match press conference.


    Faced with the difficulties of Italian journalists, Aldridge got angry and took the case.


    "If you don''t know how to respect a team, don''t come to London and be disgraceful! You don''t need you to remind me what kind of team Millwall is, it''s time to maintain the dignity of the giants at home! My job is not up to you Fingers! The whole world knows what kind of tricks you are playing. If Juventus is finally out, it¡¯s their blame, the Champions League, the stage for the strong, not a place to pray for pity and sympathy. Is Juventus out or promoted? Has nothing to do with us, don¡¯t you feel ashamed? Serie A giants have fallen to the point where the Premier League giants control their destiny?"


    Aldridge said with a cold face, and the Italian reporter dared not to speak, and the Fleet Street reporter laughed ridiculously.


    Millwall won in 5 games and was the first team to qualify early in all groups. It was also the first team to lock in the top of the group. In the final round of routine, they naturally would not be the main force. The Italian media This is the reason to pressure Millwall.


    It''s ridiculous. In the last round of playing Juventus, Millwall was on the bench. The Italian media did not say anything before the game. Instead, this round in turn accused Millwall of not respecting Porto.


    Porto may wish that Millwall wouldn''t even go to the bench, let''s forget about the youth team!


    In the Lion King Stadium, Aldridge sent a full bench lineup, the formation is 4231, Porto is eager to score and advance to the top 16. If Juventus is a draw, Porto can get a draw and can also be promoted, so after the game starts, Porto faced Millwall defensively.


    Aldrich stood on the sidelines to direct the game. He didn¡¯t know that today, in the stands of the game, sat a future Porto coach, the Magic Bird Mourinho.


    Mourinho came here to watch the battle with the Porto manager.


    After Benfica was sacked, Mourinho coached in the middle and lower reaches of the Portuguese Super League team Liana in the past six months. His record is almost the same as that of Benfica, but because he is coaching a small team, the coaching performance is good. A lot, in addition to Porto''s phase, he also has Mourinho agent Mendes behind the bridge.


    Mourinho carefully observed Millwall''s technical and tactical play on the court, as well as Audric''s every move on the sidelines.


    Starting from his time as an assistant in Barcelona, ??he studied football tactics outside of work. A large number of work research cases were from Millwall, especially the adjustment of the scene when Aldridge changed when the game situation changed. The key content of the research.


    Aldridge is now a well-recognized tactical master in football, with a 433 offensive offense, 4231 based on anti-anti, and 4321 built in England, making Aldridge famous in the coaching circle.


    He is not a staunch seeker of a tactical style. External analysis, and it is his style that is flexible and adaptable according to the situation, only ensures that Millwall can be successful in dealing with different game environments, unexpected difficulties, and other adverse situations. Luckily.


    After all, football tactics are hard to say, there is absolute restraint, but there are targeted restrictions that will happen. Perseverance in a style sounds commendable, but it may not be able to create a brilliant glory.


    The Porto lineup is not bad, the first-class downstream level, especially their players have potential, only to grow up can increase the team''s strength by half.


    In today''s game, Porto seemed to look forward and backwards, while conservatively treating the game, while worrying about the situation on the side of Juventus.


    Their calculations are more pragmatic, Juventus does not lead, they do not take the initiative to attack.


    This is a bit risky, what if Juventus scored in 90 minutes?


    They can¡¯t manage that much. Don¡¯t look at Millwall as the substitute. Now they are playing away. Isn¡¯t Juventus the same as the backup lineup against Millwall in the last round? The results of it?


    I think so, but the game did not develop according to the script they envisioned.


    In the 31st minute, Ramall moved to the middle from the left, took the ball and sent a straight plug under the cover of Kaka, penetrated the back waistline and cut the other side. The ribs of the center defender and the full back were empty. , Villa rushed behind the opponent''s central defender, after the ball got kicked and hit the far corner of the goal to succeed.


    "Millwall leads 1-0 at home, and it is the younger Villa who made the contribution. Ramor''s excellent pass is amazing. His reading ability in the game is the best among the bench players."


    Aldridge was so moved when he saw Ramor''s pass.


    The biggest advantage of this Liverpool abandoner is the ability to read the game, coupled with the technical skills developed in the Liverpool youth training system, the confrontation is indeed weak, so Aldridge has not used Ramor¡¯s current forward. Instead, let him play a role like Ronaldinho, and deliver shells to the forward.


    Just that wonderful pass just now, Kaka can''t pass it now, and it is also related to the degree of understanding. After all, Ramor has played with Klose and Villa together for a short time.


    It is with such powerful substitute roles as Ramor, Pedretti, Neal, etc. that Millwall''s overall strength is particularly strong.


    Oporto saw the ball lost, and he didn''t care about what happened on Juventus'' side. He directly pulled away and fought desperately with Millwall.


    Aldridge allowed the formation to close after the team scored.


    In the next game, Millwall repeatedly staged a whirlwind fight.


    Villa, Klose, Kaka, Ramall, these are players who want speed, speed, and start bursts.


    Porto conceded another goal before the end of the first half, and it was Ramor, who suddenly shifted the offense after dribbling the ball on the left. Villa had no greed after entering the penalty area and sent Klose an assist.


    Porto kicked more and more irritably, and his movements became bigger.


    After problems with the opponent¡¯s mentality, Millwall scored one goal after another. In the second half, Kaka and Klose scored another goal. Millwall beat Porto 4:0 and blocked Porto from the top 16. , Juventus won the Celtics at home and scored 9 points with Millwall to qualify.


    But the victory in this game made Aldridge unhappy.


    Porto''s extremely aggressive foul in the second half resulted in injuries to Ramall and Villa.


    If the technical and tactical approach is not changed, only Klose will be the backup striker available to Millwall''s first team.

 Chapter 700： Child star?

    The first stage of the Champions League group stage came to an end. The team was on vacation for half a day. Aldridge drove Burt and Earl to Arthur''s side in the early morning of the next day to let the two little guys play at the grandparents'' house.


    He drove back to his home, and Yiwen tidied up the living room at home. At nine in the morning, the on-site guests arrived as scheduled.


    Danny Cannon is obviously a man of action. Compared to too many people who are language giants, Danny is the kind of person that Aldridge likes. He dares to dream and puts himself into action without delay.


    Only one month has passed since the last time they talked. After Danny returned to the United States, he quickly organized the work of making movies. There are also investors in the United States who are willing to invest. After all, the cost of making such movies is not too high.


    "Hi Aldridge, your team has won again, and a friend of mine asked me if Millwall is going to set a new record this season? What do you think?"


    Danny saw Aldridge standing outside the door and greeted him warmly after shaking off.


    Aldrich in casual clothes said, "Who knows this? Maybe we will lose tomorrow."


    "No kidding, the next round is the London Derby. Millwall, who was the king of London a few years ago, will lose to Arsenal at home? Oh, the gunman has some strength, but compared to the mad lion, it is still obvious. The gap. Haven¡¯t you ever lost at Lion King Stadium?"


    "Oh, I haven''t lost. I, as well as the players, have to be worth the tickets bought by the home fans. Would you like to introduce this one around you?"


    Aldridge looked at the man with a solemn expression in the suit and leather beside Danny. In fact, Aldridge knew who he was, David Tennant, but the two had not officially met.


    "No need to introduce it? David, who he is, you must know, Aldrich Hall, he recommended me to find you."


    Danny said with a smile.


    Tennant is just a small actor in the UK now. He is very surprised and surprised that the director Danny personally went to find himself in the movie and is still the actor. However, he is very surprised to learn what to shoot. After watching the movie, the mood becomes slightly disturbed.


    Aldrich is a national idol, and is now very popular, playing such a character who is a star, is extremely difficult.


    The reason is also very simple. If you go to play a fictional character, or a historical character with a long age, the public''s impression itself is very vague. As long as the performance effect is not deviated from the general impression, you can pass it. It was red.


    But Aldridge is a character living under the spotlight, you not only have to act like, but also perform its own characteristics, which is easy to make the performance effect imitate, and the discerning audience has reason to find out the defects, in case If you deviate too far from the character''s image, then you are acting badly.


    However, Tennant believes that this is a golden opportunity for his acting career. Opportunity is equal to challenge. Seize the opportunity and pass the test. Then, his career will have a qualitative leap.


    Not to mention how many fans Millwall has in the world, like CEO Adam claiming that there are 50 million Millwall fans in Asia alone, it must have been made up, but it is undeniable that Millwall has extensive popularity support in global football, plus On Aldrich¡¯s own attention, the people who are interested in him are not only in the football world. The shooting of such a movie will greatly enhance the popularity of Tennant, but he hopes to play this role well. Instead of increasing popularity due to poor acting.


    "Mr. Hall, hello!"


    Tennette is older than Aldridge and has a more solemn attitude. He has a professional and business-oriented professional attitude. Aldridge smiled, shook hands with him, introduced himself, everyone can just name each other, not Mr. Mr. .


    The three walked into Aldridge¡¯s house, and Ewen prepared tea in the living room. He smiled at Danny: ¡°I read the script. It¡¯s good. The plot is full, but there¡¯s a small problem with the character.¡±


    A week ago Danny sent the movie script to Aldridge. He had no time to watch it and gave it to Yiwen.


    Danny heard the question, and immediately changed his expression. He walked over to sit down seriously and asked, "Which character?"


    "Barnet Hall."


    "Aldrich''s eldest brother? The one who bought the Millwall Club, right?"


    "Yes, in your script, he came forward to buy the club and gave it to Aldridge. Although there are not many appearances, Barnett will not be willing to take on such a role. It does not mean that you are replaced by an actor. Rather, Barnett Hall wouldn¡¯t want to be in the movie, uh, do you understand what I mean?"


    Danny thought about it and nodded slightly.


    He certainly understands that he sees much more in the United States. Who would go to the movies to show his face to those group chairmen and listed company bosses? When a capitalist reaches a certain level, he will try to dilute his presence in the public eye, not to mention getting in touch with the film and television circle, and even not wanting to be mentioned.


    Danny said distressedly: "That can''t be changed to Aldridge bought the club by himself at the age of 18?"


    Yiwen laughed: "I have a suggestion, how about using Arthur Hall''s name?"


    Danny froze for a moment, passing through the history of Millwall he had learned.


    Arthur appeared in Millwall in reality in the year when Millwall landed in the Premier League. Before that, he was a fan. Before Audridge came, the club chairman and management were the old framework left by the previous boss. Derich took over the team in 1994 before reshuffling. The chairman was Adam. When he reached the Premier League, Adam abdicated and Arthur came forward. It is also because the Premier League and the Premier League are two different environments. The Premier League will have a boss round table meeting.


    The more Danny in thought, the more he thinks about it. In fact, there is not much news about Arthur, because he is very popular with Millwall fans, and his temperament is straightforward. Impressive smile.


    There was a crazy act of being beaten by the three or five security guards because of the dissatisfaction of the referee.


    Danny looked at Yiwen and hesitated: "Can he be invited to perform in real life?"


    Aldridge is not a real person. If Arthur can, it must be better than using an actor.


    Yiwen glanced at Aldridge, but saw Aldridge make a phone call gesture, and Yiwen understood, smiling: "Wait, I will call to ask."


    She picked up the phone and called Arthur.


    "Ewen, what''s the matter? What happened to Aldridge?"


    "It''s okay, it''s like I want to ask you, now the club has a cooperative project to make a movie related to Millwall. Do you want to act as the club''s chairman if you want to perform live."


    "Hey, how about acting? I was the chairman, okay, let them come and shoot me."


    Yiwen Renjun couldn''t help but say, "You didn''t understand it? You made a movie, not a documentary, you played yourself, but what you do in the movie, you have to listen to the director, not your daily life."


    "Oh? Okay, when did you start shooting?"


    "Now it''s just in the preparatory stage. If you are interested, would you like to come over now? The director is on our side."


    "Well, well, I''ll be there in an hour."


    Arthur agreed to come down, Danny was very happy to hear the news, deleted Barnett''s character, and replaced it with Arthur, so the script should be changed slightly.


    He discussed the content of the script with Yiwen there, and Aldridge talked to Tennant.


    Today Danny brought Tennant over, in fact, to let Tennant contact Aldridge and get to know the characters up close.


    Tennant looked at Aldridge up and down, paying attention to every detail of Aldridge''s words and manners. This made Aldridge feel uncomfortable. He took the initiative to say: "I don''t think I have anything special. What is different, it must be the accent of speaking, I don¡¯t have a strong London accent like some friends."


    "Huh? Should you be a Londoner?"


    "It was indeed in London since I was young, but I ran around since I was 12 years old. The accent is not that heavy. As for other aspects, I think it should be of little help to you."


    Tenner nodded characteristically. This football-themed movie has nothing to do with life. He observes Audridge in life no matter how careful it may be.


    "Aldrich, I am very happy to receive Danny''s invitation. I want to play this role well. If you have any suggestions, please tell me directly."


    Tennant''s expression was solemn, and Aldridge smiled and asked, "Do you like football?"


    "Not fanatical."


    As a Scot, Tennant grew up under the Commonwealth sky and naturally focused on football, but he was not as fanatical as many fans.


    "I''ll give you the tickets for each home game of Millwall. If you have time, go check it out. Although you can''t experience the situation of Millwall in the past, it will definitely help your acting."


    Tennart accepted Aldridge¡¯s suggestion and asked, ¡°Can I go to see you train the team?¡±


    "No."


    Aldridge smiled and shook his head.


    Open training and closed training are very different for the team. Since it is closed, it does not want to be disturbed. If Adrich let Tennant watch on the side, this will definitely distract the team. Players are also awkward.


    "Hey, David, I have compiled a video collection. It''s Aldridge. You can take it home and study it slowly."


    Yiwen interjected, and Tenate thanked.


    Anyway, after all, he is playing Aldridge. In addition, the film is to pursue the effect. It is hoped that he will show the passion of the young handsome. The video collection can help him a lot.


    As for Aldridge asking him to watch the ball, he can only help him understand Millwall''s club culture up close. As for the 90-minute game, even if he stares at Aldridge with his eyes, he may not get much help. The information, after all, as the coach, Aldridge really dances as often as an actor, it will only look like a clown.


    Not an hour later, Arthur arrived by car. Surprisingly, he brought Earl back.


    "Hey, Earl heard that I''m going to be in the movie, and he will be acting too."


    Arthur''s loud voice came when he held Earl into the living room.


    Danny heard the words and quickly said: "There is indeed a child character in the script. Although the playing time will not exceed 1 minute, he will definitely be able to perform."


    Aldridge had a headache. Look at Danny''s posture. This is a rhythm to be swept through.


    Arthur and his son will be taken away by him if he doesn''t play movies.


    Earl Bert is obviously more lively and cheerful, and is interested in everything. As the saying goes, love is together. After watching the movie last time, he came home and shouted that he would grow up to be a movie star and also act in a movie.


    In his view, the so-called growing up is like the child star in Harry Potter.

 Chapter 701： coolie

    Aldridge beckoned to Earl. The younger son trot to the sofa with a look of excitement, slammed into Aldridge''s arms, raised his head and grinned, looking at a clever naughty man.


    "Do you want to play a movie?"


    "Well, think!"


    Earl nodded firmly.


    Aldrich is not the eldest brother Barnett. If his nephew Bowen said he was going to act in a movie, the Barnett and his wife would definitely not agree. Where is the "noble" to do?


    Aldrich treats children differently, presumably from his childhood experience, which is always restricted, restricted, and restricted by his elders. This can''t be done, that can''t be done, he grows up according to the rules, and becomes an ordinary person step by step.


    Therefore, in his life, he traveled all over the world alone at the age of 12, and did not want his children to be bound by dogmatism.


    It is said that if you are three years old, you will be eighty, but I really want to say that Earl is going to play a movie today, and he will definitely be engaged in the entertainment industry in the future. This cannot be concluded.


    Children, three minutes of heat, to satisfy the curiosity in your heart, or vanity, or interest, no matter what, actively participating in activities is conducive to open up the horizons from an early age, and great benefits for future growth.


    Aldrich turned to Earl and asked, "What kind of character is suitable for him?"


    He hasn''t read the script.


    Danny opened the script directly and handed it to Aldridge.


    Earl and Aldridge looked down at the content of the script together, and did not know if Earl could understand it. Anyway, his eyes were serious.


    Aldridge smiled bitterly.


    This role is a child.


    It is also the beginning of the movie, which sets the tone for the story.


    It was a group of football hooligans, to be precise, Millwall and West Ham United football gangsters fought after the game and fought hand-to-hand in the dark alley, while the child Aldridge stood expressionlessly in the alley. Witness this fight...


    This character has only about 40 seconds of playing time, which is to witness a football hooligan fight. It is estimated to be a metaphor for planting seeds to the soul. Aldrich does not understand. The movie was not filmed. He can¡¯t tell the effect. But this role can be played as long as a child.


    Standing there and watching calmly, the rest is the director''s job.


    Aldridge smiled at Earl: "This role is hard to play."


    "Not afraid, I can act well!"


    Earl said confidently.


    Aldridge bowed his head and kissed his forehead, praised: "Good boy, awesome."


    Arthur was naturally overjoyed when he saw him, and he had to say that he thinks Earl Bert is more like Aldridge, and he seems to have a certain confidence by nature.


    "Hey, the little guy went to film with grandpa! By the way, what am I going to do?"


    Arthur only remembered his business at this moment.


    Arthur, who usually loves to play around, is unambiguous in the face of business.


    Danny got up and said: "Because your role is to replace Aldridge''s elder brother, the plot of your role is still in the discussion stage."


    "Well, it''s okay, then tell me what the film is mainly about."


    Arthur''s heart is bright, if Millwall can move to the screen, it will definitely have a huge benefit for the club''s publicity, cultural promotion, and economic benefits.


    Under the introduction of Danny, Arthur understood that the timeline of this movie corresponds to the reality from the late 80s to 97.


    It tells about the journey of Millwall¡¯s rise, which is set against the background of the times. In addition to the essential passion of football, there is also the influence of English football on the community, the rise of Millwall, and the spirit of the community. .


    "Well, what''s the name of this movie?"


    Arthur asked a question that made Aldridge also refresh himself.


    Indeed, he never really asked what the name of the movie was.


    Danny smiled: "In the plan, we will make a series of films, a trilogy, the whole series is called mad lion, the first part is called: Eve of Dawn."


    The Mad Lion Trilogy?


    Arthur took a deep breath and smiled and asked, "What''s behind?"


    "It hasn''t been finalized yet. The preliminary name of the second part is: The Rise of the Dynasty. The third part is: The legend continues."


    ...


    In the afternoon, Aldridge went to work in the club to host the team training.


    The team began to prepare for the game with Arsenal. The training atmosphere was relatively relaxed. Aldridge also participated in the team''s ball training. Generally, he will actively engage in training and interaction with the players, which means that he is in a good mood.


    Of course he is in a good mood, the team is stable, two consecutive victories, the main force and the bench performance are not bad, the players are inevitably injured, then the depression after the game will pass, otherwise, after a season, it is estimated that Hard for half a year.


    If he participates in training, he becomes the target of the players.


    For example, if you walk the monkey to play a short pass, if Aldridge goes to grab the ball, like Ronaldinho, Larson, and Pirlo, he must show his feet in front of him, and he will be dizzy.


    However, sometimes if the players are smashed and Aldridge wins the ball, it will be laughed at by other teammates.


    After the training, Aldridge bid farewell to the players one by one. When it was twilight to return to the office, Adam knocked on the door, took a fax and walked in, said to Aldridge: "Boss, here is a FIFA The incoming fax, I hope we cooperate in making movies, do you know this?"


    "Well, exactly, I want to talk to you about this."


    Adam sat down in front of Aldridge. Aldridge told him about the filming, let him help coordinate the work of the film crew to shoot, as far as possible not to affect the team training.


    Millwall will provide filming crew shooting venues, Leo training base, Lion King Stadium, will provide them.


    But the filming schedule needs to be decided according to the club schedule.


    For example, when Millwall is on vacation, or go to the European War away, from departure to return to rest, at least 2 days in the middle can be used for shooting.


    Although there is still a long time to go before the movie is officially turned on, the preparation work is definitely better as early as possible. The more prepared it is, the more time it takes to get started.


    After understanding the whole story, Adam got up and left, and the man had walked out of the door, but he lowered his head and remained silent for a moment, then turned around and said to Aldridge working at the desk in the office: "Boss, if the club has such cooperation in the future It¡¯s best to inform me about the project in advance so that I can be prepared."


    Aldridge didn''t lift his head slightly, sighed softly.


    Adam stood in place for three seconds. During these three seconds, Aldridge never raised his head. He closed the door gently, and then walked away.


    The serious-faced Adam just reminded Aldridge that the club participated in the cooperative filming. This is not a trivial matter for the team''s publicity and commercial development, but he knew nothing about it beforehand.


    He is more and more like what Fleet Street describes: Millwall''s nominal puppet.


    Naturally, he worked hard to complete the work, but the right to finalize major projects was in the hands of Aldridge. He was more of a hitting role.


    Therefore, even if Millwall is more brilliant, he does not have much credit in the eyes of the outside world, but he must also admit that he is not a real power figure within Millwall. The outside world believes that his status in the club is not as good as that of Arsenal¡¯s Dane. Reasonable.


    But Adam himself felt deep in his heart, he felt like a coolie in Millwall.


    ...


    In the evening, Aldridge and his family, Danny and Tennant dine together in the Chinese restaurant. Aldrich met a new friend, Tennant, and everyone was more open-minded. Danny was telling his ambition. He hoped The full development of football-themed movies, the mad lion trilogy is regarded as a pioneering work, and a series of movies will be derived in the future.


    After the celebration, Millwall''s London Derby was also on the agenda.


    Wenger said at the beginning of the season: Arsenal has the ambition to break the dominance of Millwall, and we will do our best to try to achieve this goal this season.


    Halfway through the league, Wenger''s tone changed.


    ¡°Considering Millwall¡¯s midweek Champions League main team got a good rest, and Arsenal sent all the main players to advance to the UEFA Champions League 16, we have now reached the next stage of the Champions League, but this time as a guest lion king The game of the stadium, Millwall has a certain advantage in physical fitness, geographical position, and momentum. This game is undoubtedly difficult for Arsenal. We will show a strong will to fight Millwall. When leaving, Take a satisfactory result."


    What is the satisfactory result in Wenger''s mouth?


    The reporter repeatedly asked, but Wenger left with his words.


    Everyone knows it well.


    Either you said directly to take away the victory, or the "satisfaction" of this twist and turn is actually a draw.


    It sounds like a lack of confidence, but considering that there are no teams in Europe that can take away the victory at the Lion King Stadium, Arsenal have no confidence, it can be recognized as reality.


    Aldrich was relatively calm to the media before the game. In view of the overheating of the Champions League in the middle of the week, this contrast of just a few days surprised the reporter.


    "For the London Derby, do you have no requirements for the game?"


    Faced with the reporter''s question, Aldridge looked blank, and asked, "Request? What kind of request?"


    "For example, you require players to win the game, kill Arsenal at home and fight direct competitors."


    "Direct competitor? Am I right? Millwall has opponents in the league?"


    Aldrich looked away, and there were many reporters with slight corners.


    It''s also contempt for Arsenal to pretend to be stupid.


    "Arsenal ranked third in the league, only one point away from the second ranked Leeds United..."


    The reporter who asked the question couldn''t speak anymore.


    To say what is the biggest news of the All England Premier League this season, it is not Millwall who has ridden the dust.


    But Christmas is coming, and Leeds United is second in the league.


    Leeds United finished 16 rounds and achieved 8 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses. They lost one less than Arsenal and tied one more. They were one point ahead of Arsenal, but they were 12 points away from Millwall.


    Arsenal''s 13 points from Millwall makes Aldridge''s words sound no problem.


    Millwall has no opponents in the league.


    "My requirements for the game? There are always, but they don¡¯t have to be said, and my requirements are different from what you want to hear. My requirements for the team have not changed from beginning to end. Every In a game, it shows its due strength. No matter whether it wins or loses, as long as they show their strength, I will be satisfied."


    "So what if Millwall lost?"


    "There are many reasons for losing, and I will not put the blame on the players, because there may be a mistake in the coach''s tactical arrangement, on-the-spot command and other factors that lead to the loss, so your problem is not connected. If we are a relegation team and encounter Arsenal, my players will try their best to lose the ball. Do I blame the players? No, they played their strength and played with the correct attitude , Will get my approval, the result is very important, but the result is not all."


    Aldrich''s words caused many reporters to fall into deep thought, and some people quickly recorded it. As a legendary young marshal, many of the words he said will be circulated in the future.

 Chapter 702： Wenger with headache

    Wenger has a headache.


    Not because of visiting the Lion King Stadium in the league. Mo said that this game was booked in advance. I''m afraid Wenger was mentally prepared before the start of the season.


    What made him headache was that Arsenal began to show signs of not keeping the core.


    Every time during the transfer period, Vieira, Ibrahimovic, Pires and other players in Arsenal are the protagonists in the gossip vortex.


    Arsenal''s own limitations have two points. One is financial resources.


    The boss is rich, there is no doubt that the name of Arsenal¡¯s major shareholder can be seen on the Forbes list. However, the club¡¯s business strategy is mainly self-sufficient. In the context of borrowing money to build a new stadium, Arsenal is very financially responsible. Strictly, the biggest item of club expenditure is the player''s salary. In other words, Arsenal cuts the expenditure and squeezes the salary system, which makes the salary cap of the big-name players relatively low.


    Is it possible to give the big players a super high salary alone? Yes, but it is very risky. This will lay hidden dangers in the dressing room. The wage system must be reasonable, and there is an old Chinese saying that it is more appropriate: not to suffer from inequality.


    Vieira is a world-class player. It is normal for others to earn about 50% less than everyone. Everyone takes it for granted, but if Vieira is given a salary that is 2 times higher than the normal main force, 3 times or even higher, other main players will think Happy to accept?


    Arsenal has just renewed the main contract with the team. The salary that this renewal can give is already the limit of the club¡¯s recent budget. Wenger has a headache. After two or three years, if these big names demand higher salaries, Arsenal may be powerless. bear.


    The Arsenal salary system is quantified for comparison. Millwall''s weekly salary is up to 70,000 pounds. The net salary is the average weekly salary of the first team is about 50,000. If the bonus is counted, it will exceed 60,000 on average. The old minister''s weekly salary exceeds 100,000 pounds.


    And who is the highest salary in Arsenal?


    The highest-paid Campbell in the Premier League, his weekly salary is 70,000 pounds, plus 30,000 pounds is converted from the signing fee of the free transfer, and is paid according to the salary. This is to avoid him getting enough signing fee at one time and then short-term effectiveness will be troublesome Transfer.


    As for the salary of other Arsenal players, the highest weekly salary is no more than 50,000 pounds!


    You can imagine that Wenger is having a headache. Even Anelka, who left the club after the transfer, has a weekly salary of more than 50,000 pounds. If a player of the level of Vieira can transfer, how much can he get? ?


    The next time Arsenal raise wages for players, it is estimated that it will be two to three years later, and it will be time to look at the financial situation.


    Arsenal is not the only headache for the player¡¯s salary. Manchester United signed Bellon in the summer. 99% of the team¡¯s renewal work was completed, but the 1% is the most important. Beckham rejected the approximately ¡ê80,000 from Manchester United. ''S weekly salary contract, the renewal of Manchester United and Beckham is still in protracted negotiations.


    Another limitation is Arsenal¡¯s lack of honor over the years.


    The two most important club honors are the league champion and the Champions League.


    The Champions League championship, Arsenal club history has not won, the league champion, the last time to win in 98.


    Players don''t necessarily have to say that they have to play for the championship team.


    Because this is not accurate.


    In the five major leagues, Ligue 1 and Bundesliga can''t keep the stars. Yingyixi is the "first stage" and the place where the stars get together. There is a high degree of attention here, a lot of money, and a high level of competition.


    The British and Italian West, together with the Champions League, only four championships each season, three or four clubs can get the highest honors of the club.


    The championship is also taking turns. La Liga is now in troubled times. It belongs to the gap between the two men. Serie A champions in these years are like drumming. Everyone has a share. It is the Premier League, and the Millwall family is the only three consecutive.


    Players can''t predict which strong team will play next season to win the league championship or the Champions League.


    There may be a championship team that went to last season, and as a result, nothing happened in the next few years.


    Therefore, there is an intuitive consideration of team competitiveness. Arsenal is generally pretty good at this point.


    There is only one league champion each season. Arsenal''s first four years of the year seem to be in the championship, and they can also enter the Champions League. This is more important than winning the domestic cup, because the Champions League is the highest stage of European club sports, players Performing in the Champions League is itself a proof of strength, while maintaining state and improving commercial value, it is very important to play in the Champions League. Therefore, whether a team has the qualification for the Champions League is an important factor for attracting stars.


    For first-class stars, Arsenal is a good choice, but for world-class stars, it is always impossible to win the championship, which may be frustrating.


    Wenger''s brave words before the season were really not aimed at Millwall. Can he overturn Millwall''s dominance? He has a lot of thoughts and opportunities in his heart, but it is not big. His external remarks are actually to stabilize the military''s heart and boost morale. Not to tell Millwall to make Millwall feel a crisis, but to Arsenal players: we have a chance to compete!


    When it was time to play Millwall in the league, I looked at the standings and the gap of 13 points, the league only played 16 rounds!


    Almost 1 point was pulled off each round, according to this trend, at the end of the season, Millwall wants to dump Arsenal by more than 30 points?


    Wenger frowned when he came to the Lion King Stadium, like an old man suffering from depression, or worrying about people thinking about national affairs.


    He had to admit that Millwall established a dynasty and visualized and embodied his ruler status, making people hear the chill in this team, especially when he saw Aldridge, the invisible pressure gathered Overhead.


    Aldridge''s style is still the same, the suit and leather are uncommon, and he went to shake hands with Wenger before the game. Wenger looked speechless. After shaking hands, he turned around and walked back to the coach of the visiting team.


    Aldridge was stunned by Wenger''s hesitant attitude of two seconds of apparently having nothing to say.


    He walked back with words in his mouth, and Aldridge began to think about it again.


    What exactly did Wenger want to say?


    After Millwall slaughtered Manchester United 7:1, Wenger also paid attention to the game, especially after the game Audridge''s rant, saying what other Premier League giants will conspire.


    He actually wanted to tell Aldrich face to face: Even if we really have a conspiracy, you will be forced!


    Millwall is now the financially wealthiest team in the Premier League, the strongest team, the most stable team, the most united team inside...


    Other teams are not as good as Millwall. In the long run, other clubs Wenger are unclear. Anyway, he is very worried that some first-class stars in Arsenal will choose to retreat because of the lack of early days in the Premier League and go to other leagues to find championship opportunities.


    Wenger¡¯s worries are not unreasonable. In the Premier League, no matter how famous you are, if you don¡¯t play Millwall, you can only play a supporting role. Looking at Millwall scenery and watching others take the championship, you need to be a background every season. Ravaged, since the club does not have the financial resources, if it can spend as much money as the Serie A team, two or three big-name players were bought to give us a morale during a transfer period. This day is better. Just rely on slogans, who Believe it?


    Only Manchester United, Liverpool, because of the England internationals in the formation propped up the half of the England national team, can they share some of the light of Millwall, Arsenal, as Adams entered the retirement rhythm to represent a group of old internationals, this many foreign aid The team is composed of good-looking, delicate, and technically focused. Instead of winning the championship, it looks better, but it has become the object of repeated mockery on Fleet Street, especially Arsenal''s inability to take into account the European War, there is a slight gap in the European War. The pressure of public opinion will sweep through.


    "In the 17th round of the Premier League, Millwall played at home against Arsenal. This London derby is about to start. The leader Millwall leads the third place Arsenal by 13 points. Even if Arsenal wins away, they cannot close the gap. To the single digits, I hope that the situation in the standings will not affect the appreciation of today¡¯s game. We hope to see Arsenal bravely challenge Millwall, as Wenger said before the season, they will try to go Ending the dominance of Millwall. If Millwall can be defeated here, this blow will be very heavy on Millwall, because it will be their first defeat at Lion King Stadium."


    "Yes, the result of the game will definitely have a continuation effect on the team''s status. Millwall has a huge lead. If no team can snipe Millwall before the end of the half, then it will be difficult for a miracle in the second half. Because in the past few years, Millwall has become the norm in the second half. Their players know that with one hand, they can enjoy the wonderful taste of the championship and then enjoy the holiday. Take a look at the starting list of both sides, Milwaukee All the main force came into play, Arsenal also sent the main force.


    Arsenal started with 442.


    Goalkeeper: Seaman.


    Guards: Lauren, Campbell, Keon, Silvigno.


    Midfielders: Yongberg, Palor, Vieira, Pires.


    Forwards: Bergkamp, ??Ibrahimovic. "


    Since there was no historically rising Ashley Cole in Arsenal, Wenger retained Silvinho in the summer and recently tried to transform the summer new aid Van Bronckhorst to play as a full-back, but the Dutch adapted The Premier League still needs some time.


    Ten minutes after the game started, the fans in the stands were almost asleep.


    Arsenal fight their usual defensive counterattacks, Millwall does not accelerate the pace, and does not use high pressure to **** tactics, relatively balanced 433, the offense has not changed much, almost relying on the player to fight on the offensive end alone, but in Arsenal initiative Defensive and surrounded by a tough double waist, personal play is greatly restricted.


    Wenger stood on the sidelines, staring at Aldridge.


    Wenger spread his hands, a look of helplessness.


    Aldridge smiled casually.


    Wenger was speechless.


    Millwall is shameless.


    Arsenal¡¯s sharpest is the counterattack on the wing. Millwall did not press up. Their counterattack fell into the encirclement after halftime. The defender of Millwall cut the formation through the position first, then grabbed, Pire and Yongberg was unsuccessful in contacting Bergkamp in the middle, and directly picked up the ball to find Ibrahimovic. Because of the interference, the quality of the ball was not high and the attack could not be threatened.


    Millwall is similar. Both players are on the front line of the attack. There are four players on both fronts, and both sides are two, but the positions are different. Arsenal are bilateral forwards and double forwards. Millwall is a midfielder and three forwards. , But in the change, Millwall¡¯s local advantage is greater, because if Henry and Nedved are inclined to one side at the same time, there will be three locals. On the Arsenal side, the Bergkamp position is more alive, but Ibrahimovic has the top In the center position is basically not moving, he does not pull the side, Arsenal at most only two people in the local attack, unless the midfielder and full back assists.


    When both sides are using a slightly static conservative defensive strategy, Millwall has another advantage that gradually manifests itself, that is the role of Pirlo, a delayed organization.


    Arsenal weakened the offensive midfield and insisted on double forwards. Millwall weakened the number of forwards in the penalty area and strengthened the midfield. Pirlo organized in the midfield. Vieira and Pallor were all afraid of losing position. Dare to rush to grab, if Yongberg and Pire came over to help defense, their positions could not suppress Zambrotta and Schneider, if Bogkamp retreated, Pirlo and Gattuso could also Let his forced return without success, unless, Ibrahimovic comes back to participate in defense.


    Obviously, Arsenal''s frontcourt defense is weak, Bergkamp is also old, Ibrahimovic is very self-confident, he is a center, his task is to score, not to do dirty work.


    Therefore, as long as Pirlo does not move to the front waist area, he is relatively easy to organize the attack in the midfield behind Nedved, and most importantly, stability!


    Pirlo frequently scheduled the offensive transfer after the opening, left, right, left, right. Of course, Millwall did not kick back and forth like this, but the direction of each attack was different. Arsenal''s defense had to move back and forth.


    Aldridge''s expression was indifferent on the sidelines, but he was snickering in his heart: let you run for a while.

 Chapter 703： Aura

    Wenger was right before the game.


    Millwall has a physical advantage. Arsenal just finished the Champions League a few days ago. They only ensured the qualification to advance to the top 16 in the final round. It is very unfavorable for them to go back to London to play an away game. .


    Coupled with their own technical and tactical play, what kind of scene will be when they come away, Aldridge has foreseen before the game.


    In the locker room before the game, Aldridge reminded the team with an understatement: "Come on, go to the game as we planned for the meeting yesterday, don¡¯t worry about Arsenal, they dare not attack, they will only fight back , Because this stadium is called the Lion King, we are called the mad lion, they come to our site, they can only be beaten first, and they think it is very beautiful, as long as we beat them to death, they will fight back, they will be able to fight us It¡¯s cheap for us. We will let them find out after the 90-minute game that we only beat them in the whole game, and they can¡¯t beat us even if they want to fight back.¡±


    Aldrich''s words amused a lot of players. Although they were used to Aldridge''s use of boxing to metaphorize the game, it was indeed very vivid, but every time he heard it, he couldn''t help but because they always spoke of Aldridge. The beating party.


    Compared to the earth-shattering game of playing Manchester United, there were goals in the first thirty seconds, but no goal was scored in the first thirty minutes of the game!


    Arsenal had one shot. Ibrahimovic''s header near the penalty area line did not appear to be an attack. However, the ball flew to the bottom line and was judged to be a shot without hitting the goal range.


    Millwall shot 8 times, the overall attack rhythm was slow, because Millwall intentionally suppressed the rhythm, only suddenly found a good opportunity to speed up the rhythm.


    Aldrich also has his own considerations in arranging tactics.


    Although the aggressive style of destruction is more than 60% probable to suppress Arsenal, that is, the opponent''s nerve is pressed to the limit, and then the opponent is defeated.


    But Millwall should consider it for the future, especially since last season, even the strong team will play anti-millback against Millwall at home. Audridge must let the team adjust the technology and tactics in a timely manner, which is not innovative, because I''ve played like this before, it''s a more skillful practice, and it really makes the team relaxed and flexible.


    Fast pace, I''m doing it, slow down, I''ll do it anyway!


    The change between the pace of the rhythm on the field will contain infinite killing opportunities.


    There is another advantage to playing this way, weakening the opponent''s anti-counterfeiting power.


    Because of this, Wenger looked at Aldridge helplessly.


    Arsenal can''t fight back, and the temporary line of defense is not too big. Millwall has many shots, but there is no perfect chance.


    "At the end of the first half of the game, the score is 0:0, Andy, do you say that both teams are based on winning the match?"


    "It makes sense for you to say this. Millwall got a draw. Their advantage over Arsenal was still 13 points. Arsenal got a draw. It should be the satisfactory result that Wenger said before the game, but I think this is not like It is the style of Millwall. Millwall has enough space to let go, speed up the game and invest more troops to attack. I think there are a few chances in the first half, if Millwall can get a place The full-back or Pirlo is closer to the penalty area, then their offense will be very different, creating better opportunities."


    "Of course, we naturally look at the ball and hope that both teams will play against each other, just like when Manchester United played Millwall at home."


    "What are you expecting? I know you are not an Arsenal fan."


    "Hahahaha..."


    In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Arsenal''s counterattack was still unable to play. Without obvious advancement, Millwall''s defensive formation was tight. Arsenal''s players themselves felt that the ball was blocked. .


    The more the offensive moves forward, the narrower the road and the smaller the space, the pass cannot find a chance, the pass back, and it becomes a positional battle.


    Vieira was unwilling to lonely assist, and added an excessive response point for Arsenal in the middle. Nedved followed him, and the confrontation between the two big irons became the focus of the game.


    On the court, Millwall only had a slight advantage. However, when 70 minutes arrived, Millwall began to erupt, the rhythm of the game suddenly changed, the passing rhythm was accelerated, the full-backs assisted, the offensive points increased, and they hit The threat of oppressive attack.


    Wenger''s eyebrows bounced on the sidelines, and he guessed what the idea Aldridge was playing.


    Boil the frog in warm water!


    Millwall spent almost the first 70 minutes to kill Arsenal. When physical fitness came to the watershed stage, Millwall''s original body energy had an advantage, and the gap would be opened intuitively and obviously.


    Especially at the guard point, Keon is too old.


    In the stormy attack of Millwall, Arsenal retired across the board. Their physical weaknesses intuitively played a role in the game. Pirlo stepped forward and accelerated the frequency of shifting offense under the cover of Nedved. Millwall side The defender assists, making full use of the width of the field, tearing Arsenal''s defense free.


    A reckless foul by Yong Berry gave Millwall a free kick. The foul was on the left. Ronaldinho climbed from the ground and put his ball to Yong Berry. Without straightening his waist, he gently moved the ball to the sideline. Brota quickly stepped forward, Ronaldinho stood still, Yong Berry originally wanted to prevent Ronaldinho from taking a free kick, but Ronaldinho not only kicked the free kick out, but also acted as a human wall, blocking He went to defend Zambrotta.


    When Zambrotta rushed past, Yong Berry didn''t keep up with his rhythm for a while. He went to Zambrotta. He just ran two steps and suddenly realized: What about Ronaldinho?


    Yeah, Zambrotta brought the ball to the bottom and apparently had entered Lauren''s defense zone. Yong Berry came over at this time and became 2 defense 1 but lost Ronaldinho!


    Ronaldinho ran to the restricted area, and Zambrotta could not go down, because there was Lauren in the front, and Yong Berry in the back of the side. He looked at the situation in the restricted area and counted, and only Ronaldinho could Receiving the ball, he chose to pass the ball and pass the ball to Ronaldinho, who is currently in the rib empty.


    Ronaldinho is running, he is not in place. He intends to catch the ball when he is parallel to Lauren. Zambrotta passed too early, so he saw the ball flying directly to his position, emergency braking, electro-optical Between the flints, Ronaldinho turned directly halfway, making the fans stunned. He hit the ball into the penalty area with his back!


    The ball bounced into the penalty area, bounced in front of Campbell, and then bounced from the middle of his unconsciously raised thigh and arm to the back.


    Campbell was cold and sweating in the back.


    Ronaldinho is definitely a stroke of the gods!


    This kind of ball looks weak, but it is a nightmare for the defender!


    why?


    Because it violates the rules!


    The defender''s defense depends on the pre-judgment, how the forward takes the ball, has a certain foresight after a hundred battles, stopping the ball, passing the ball, picking the ball, passing, no matter what the action is, you don''t have to wait for the action to be made completely, from the ball track, Player movements generally have a subconscious judgment, or rely on experience to predict.


    And like Ronaldinho, the ball came and suddenly turned around with his back. From his turn to the change of direction of the ball, the whole process made the defender caught off guard. Campbell made a move. This man took Arsenal and even The highest-paid central defender in the Premier League only made the most primitive, subconscious defensive action, lifting his leg and kicking the ball to make a clearance, just like the goalkeeper was suddenly cold shot to block the ball with his body, and he failed to be in his own defense zone. Block the ball.


    Behind him, Henry cleverly grabbed a spot. In fact, Henry could not have expected Ronaldinho to come here, but he faced the goal, Campbell turned his back to the goal, and the ball flew behind Campbell, plus Ronaldinho used The back hits the ball and the ball bounces again. The rolling power is greatly reduced. Henry and Campbell start at the same time. Campbell wants to turn around. Henry will grab a point directly. When Campbell turns around, he is in front of Henry''s back. When he made a defensive move, Henry turned half a foot to push the shot, pressing the spot of the small penalty area line. This shot was very close to the goal. Seaman stretched out to stop the shot, but it was still a slow shot and could not stop the ball from The goal rolled into the goal at a close angle.


    Henry looked at Ronaldinho after scoring a goal, and Ronaldinho rushed over to jump on Henry and laughed.


    "The spectators at Lion King Stadium were dumbfounded. Ronaldinho¡¯s amazing assists will remain in the minds of the audience watching the game today. Perhaps the previous game was indeed not exciting, but Ronaldinho At this moment''s performance, I think this game is worth the fare!"


    "How did he think of playing for his teammates in this way?"


    "No, no, he certainly didn''t think about it. This is by no means planned beforehand. After Zambrotta''s pass, how much time is there for him to think? There is no time! He just subconsciously used what he thinks is the most appropriate. Way to deal with the incoming ball, which also reflects his football talent! Genius, I believe that no one will question now, Ronaldinho has become a world-class star, he has become Millwall The most important member, Arsenal''s defense has always been the top three in the Premier League, which is related to their technical tactics, but in the game where Arsenal has a strong double-back combination, Ronaldinho''s importance is It shows that his creativity, a sudden aura in the game, broke the convention and broke the balance of the game. This is also a type of player that the top strong teams need, making the offense full of changes."


    "Yes, Pirlo''s creativity in organization is unparalleled, Ronaldinho''s creativity in local personal abilities is also amazing, Millwall needs talent, talent, toughness, toughness, and another character is We have to mention that that is Henry. Although the goal just now was not too difficult for Henry, his ability to catch a fighter and seize the opportunity is too strong."


    "Yes, it can be said that Ronaldinho¡¯s world-class creativity also requires a world-class shooter like Henry to cooperate together, otherwise, they will not be at the same rhythm. The slightly worse forward is probably not going to grab a point at all, because he will also be confused by Ronaldinho''s move."


    Aldridge smiled and applauded the team, not only happy but proud!

 Chapter 704： Bet jumping

    There was thunderous applause at the Lion King Stadium.


    Fans not only applauded Ronaldinho''s stunning performance, but also for Henry. Although they were used to Henry''s scoring goals, every time he scored, the fans were happy.


    "Just after our statistics, Henry completed a great record. In 2001, in the Premier League of the year, he broke all the goals of the opponents of the Premier League! This is definitely a great achievement! Great shooter !"


    This statistic was just remembered by commentator Martin Taylor. In fact, before the game, the media listed Henry''s annual goal statistics.


    He scored 42 goals in the league, which is 43 for today¡¯s calculation. The domestic cup. Since Millwall did not reach the league cup and the FA Cup final last season, he has not played in one game. In, he only participated in the Champions League, last season''s knockout and this season''s group stage, he scored a total of 11 goals, the total number of goals for the year has reached 54.


    In this statistic, he lists all the goals he scored. Before the London Derby, people put a big question mark on Henry.


    Throughout the year, among the teams in the Premier League, Henry only missed the door of one team, and it was Arsenal.


    Today, his goal allowed him to write himself into a new record in the Premier League. No one has done this before. Henry is the first person.


    Whether he is the world''s first striker can''t draw conclusions, but in this year, he is the Premier League, England''s first striker, no, Shenfeng!


    Henry himself did not seem to care about this record. The celebration after the goal was ordinary, or, he was hugged by Ronaldinho, and he could not celebrate if he wanted to celebrate.


    Wenger frowned, waving at the players, beckoning the team, and trying to get the score back.


    There is game time, and there is!


    8 minutes left...


    At this stage, Arsenal''s physical weakness was fully exposed. They wanted to counterattack, but Millwall took the opportunity to fight back after three minutes. This time it was Nedved and Larsen''s power. Henry Ronaldinho and the other are focused on the other side.


    Pirlo''s accurate long pass found Nedved, who gave the header to Larson. Larsen moved laterally on the penalty area line, then hit a beautiful outside volley, the ball was pocketed An outside arc entered the goal.


    "2:0, it seems that Wenger cannot leave the Lion King Stadium with a satisfactory result. Before the game, the gap between Arsenal and Millwall was 13 points. After this game, Arsenal will be thrown away by 16 points. The distance, Millwall, half-locked league champion, four consecutive league titles, the club¡¯s fifth top league champion is just around the corner. This is the sorrow of the Premier League, but it is also the prosperity of the Premier League. Here, we have witnessed that we can rank among the most in history. A team with strong teams competing in the ranks, the crazy lion redefines the competition standard of the league champions, and also makes the European giants frightened. We used to say that Manchester United are strong, Arsenal are strong, Liverpool are strong, but In the past two decades, only Millwall has made us truly aware of the limits of the strong, that is, let other top teams despair!"


    Aldridge delayed the rhythm with a substitution after Larson scored. A few minutes later, the game ended and Millwall continued to lead the Premier League undefeated in the new season.


    The players were very happy and it was almost Christmas. During this period, both of the fierce battles turned in satisfactory answers, which were considered as gifts to the fans in advance. Although there was a East London Derby waiting for them in the Christmas War, West Ham United The reputation of the team is obviously not comparable to Arsenal and Manchester United.


    Wenger shook hands with Aldridge after the game and walked into the player channel.


    Aldrich also made a gesture of thanking the fans symbolically, and then prepared to leave.


    Ronaldinho, who was replaced in the 90th minute, walked to Aldridge and asked with a smile: "Boss, can I go back to Brazil?"


    Aldridge walked into the player''s tunnel side by side with him. Aldridge wrapped his neck around his face, confused.


    "Aren''t you going to the Golden Globe Awards ceremony?"


    Before this game, Aldridge told the team¡¯s main players that the outcome of today¡¯s game determines whether they have a holiday before Christmas. The main purpose of the holiday is to give them the Golden Globe Awards ceremony The invitation letter of "French Football" and UEFA has been sent long ago, and even Aldridge was invited to attend. However, Aldridge is definitely not going. The main players have the hope of winning the award. Nothing can obstruct it.


    Aldridge played a trick to stimulate the players'' intentions with the holiday, which may seem superfluous, but if this game really unexpected results, no one can guarantee how angry Aldridge will be.


    Fortunately, the players'' performances made Aldridge satisfied, and he was more proud. Millwall showed the strength and attitude that the top team should have, and it also represents the stability of this team.


    Suddenly he heard Ronaldinho saying he would go back to Brazil for a vacation, and Aldridge was puzzled.


    But listening to Ronaldinho''s smile, he said seriously: "The ghost knows what''s going on in the selection, and I don''t want to lose someone again."


    Aldridge smiled.


    Ronaldinho was really scared by last year''s experience.


    Last year, Millwall players went to the scene to wait for the award. As a result, no one entered the top three of the Golden Globe Awards. At that time, it caused an uproar in public opinion. However, after the analysis of the ball critics, it seems that the phenomenon last year is reasonable.


    This year and last year are actually similar in situation. Millwall¡¯s stars have high voices and higher voices than last year, but Ronaldinho has no idea. If he runs away, he will be happy again, especially if he is even in the top three. If you didn¡¯t make it, and your teammates didn¡¯t, what would you do? Do you watch others receive awards? Sorry, I will be jealous, my heart is unbalanced!


    Aldridge smiled and scolded at him: "Wearing decently to the ceremony, shameful? I don''t know how many people envy you in the world! I don''t know how to be in the blessing, I owe it!"


    Ronaldinho smiled and asked, "If we are going to be an audience?"


    "Huh? If Millwall didn''t have a player in the top three of the Golden Globes, I jumped from Big Ben!"


    "Okay, since all the bosses have given their lives to bet, then I will go and see, alas, the mood is very complicated."


    Ronaldinho pretended to sigh and shook his head to speed up and leave.


    Suddenly, Aldridge recalled, and shouted from afar: "Don''t go, do you love to go! I bet you!"


    Ronaldinho didn''t make any bets, but Aldridge lost to jump off the building...


    Seeing Ronaldinho disappear at the corner of the passage, Aldridge smiled silently.


    Others dare not say that if Millwall has no players in the top three this year, he will be in front of the media!


    There is no other reason. This year''s Golden Globe is not very competitive.


    Historically, Irving won the Golden Globe Award with the "Five Crowns" and was almost counterattacked by Kahn and Raul.


    Now, Liverpool won a "small triple crown" last season, how is it comparable to the three consecutive championships of the Millwall League and the feat of defending the Champions League?


    Than honor? Millwall completely exploded major European giants.


    Than goals? Henry ranked first.


    Better than talent? Ronaldinho in the Champions League, the stunning performance in the league is enough to overwhelm the leader.


    In addition to the accumulation of popularity, Millwall''s stars are rich.


    Perhaps no data reason is needed for the selection of the Golden Globe Awards. Anyway, the judges write a few names in order and then see the results of the vote. However, to maintain the authority of "French Football", the selected results must have sufficient reasons to convince the public. Be sure to follow the example, at least no results with huge contrast gaps can appear.


    The Golden Globe Awards on Fleet Street was carried out as early as two months ago. Now the outside news will also focus on the Golden Globe Awards, but it is not a momentum. It is to give pressure to the selection, which probably means: we recognize that it should be selected. Mr. Jin Qiu, if you are not elected, your selection will be problematic!


    The winners of the Golden Ball on Fleet Street are Henry and Ronaldinho. Henry''s honor book in recent years is too dazzling.


    97 league champion, 98 World Cup champion, 99 league champion, 2000 European Cup champion, Champions League champion, UEFA Champions League top scorer, European Golden Boot, 2001, league, European Championship double defending, defending European Golden Boot.


    Other small trophies can be ignored, just this heavy honor book, he took the golden ball, is there not enough reason?


    Ronaldinho performed very well from last season to the first half of the season, and often made shocking moves. If, if he were an alien Ronaldo''s kind of shooter who even performed with goals, then Ronaldinho''s voice Will be higher.


    When the outside world defines the two, they use different types of role players to propagate and build momentum.


    Henry was under Aldridge. He subverted the concept of center, which is also one of Aldridge''s personal achievements that can be used to show off.


    Henry is not a pure center in Millwall. His trajectory and way of playing, especially he is not good at heading goals. Most of the goals are sports and goals. He is everywhere on the front line, running range, With his responsibilities, as well as his defensive tasks, Henry became a new character under Aldridge who is not an alternative but different from a traditional striker.


    Ronaldinho is more subversive. He is not like a winger, not like a full-back, but more like an attacking midfielder. He belongs to a technically talented player. The reason he is respected is just like people like Zidane. , Like his creativity, like his unimaginable ball skills.


    There is no fixed pattern of player types for the selection of the Golden Globe Awards. Not only talented players can win the Golden Globe Awards, but the talented stars have a higher probability of winning because they are ornamental and meet the ideal pursuit of most people.


    However, some stars with outstanding performance and phenomenal stars will also win the Golden Globe Award, such as Summer, Nedved, Shevchenko, Irving, Cannavaro...


    Henry is a phenomenal performance, and Ronaldinho is a talented player among the mainstream Golden Globe winners.


    Larson once reached the Golden Globe throne with an absolute phenomenal annual performance. No matter how Fleet Street praised Nedved, Trezeguet, Shevchenko at the time, in fact Larson was One goal is to boost Millwall''s football status, which is really worth a lot of money!


    No matter who wins the award, Aldridge has expectations in his heart. It must be a star from Millwall.


    Perhaps this year''s judges focused on tactical changes and rated Pirlo as Mr. Golden Ball. Aldridge was not surprised. Harvey of the Universe Barcelona, ??wasn''t it the top three Golden Globe Awards for three consecutive years? It is a pity that they met Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, two great emperors.


    The big players in the team are all dispatched to participate in the Golden Globe Awards ceremony. Millwall''s league is still going on. They will challenge Leicester City on the weekend. Aldridge looks at the bench and turns a corner. , Went to the reserve team to find someone.


    Villa and Ramor are recuperating, the striker is missing, and Warcraft Drogba has been loaned to France in the new season. Now Aldridge can only find Ronaldo who is under 17 years old to rescue him.

 Chapter 705： Waiting for this moment

    When many players on the training ground were all envious of the Golden Globe Awards, Ronaldo seemed to be indifferent to it. When the coach gave the team a rest, Ronaldo called Ribery, and the two opened a distance of 10 meters to practice short. pass.


    Left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot, Cristiano Ronaldo has constantly changed the passing foot. In the past few years, he has been training the balance of his feet. Now he has achieved little success and can open the bow left and right!


    Didn¡¯t he know about the Golden Globe Awards? know. Is there any fantasy? Have. Envy others? That won''t be.


    There was only one response he made, and he continued to train silently.


    The teammates next to Ronaldo and the coach, no one has the ability to foresee the future, but in their minds, they all have the same idea: this kid can''t succeed in the future, it is unreasonable!


    Others are resting, Ronaldo is training.


    Others are entertaining, Ronaldo is training.


    Others are picking girls, Ronaldo is training...


    If Nedved is the steel **** of war in the first team, then Ronaldo is the youth team. The training standard, training volume, training attitude and hard work in the reserve team, no one can surpass him, no!


    Football is not an industry that can succeed only with hard work. In addition to hard work, there is another key point: talent.


    How much talent is important is second-rate, first-class, super-first-class. It is difficult for sweat to cross the gap of strength level, but without sweat as a basis, talent is illusory.


    Talent can''t be generalized. On the talent of football, Ronaldo is not as good as Ronaldinho and Messi. Even if he can make a lot of fancy moves, but the practicality is not strong. This is also the difference between the top European players and South American players. But to speak of other talents, such as confrontation, Ronaldo is the top of his age, which is extremely important in the eyes of the coach. After all, to evaluate a player, always take a comprehensive and comprehensive consideration, not a specific one, otherwise single On the ball skills, excellent street football performers have completed 90% of professional players, but can they be allowed to play in official games?


    Aldridge came to the training ground of the reserve team, said hello to the coaching staff, and then called Ronaldo to his eyes, said to him: "From tomorrow, you come to the first team training."


    C Luo Leng was in place, and after a long while, he asked: "Is it just training?"


    Aldridge frowned slightly, and Ronaldo immediately lifted his chest and said loudly: "I see, boss!"


    Audrey Meiyushu opened his mouth and said softly: "There are some rules in the first-line dressing room. When you go to the dressing room and have your own closet, someone will tell you what kind of rules to follow. I will only tell you One point, in the first team, I do what you let you do, you can do anything, you can ask me in private office, but the premise is that you have to obey the command, this is the basis of communication, I will not persuade the players to accept me I will only explain when the player has doubts. It is to make the player¡¯s head clear and the bottom of his heart understand that you can ask me to give a reason, but you can¡¯t question my decision or try to resist, otherwise, between us There is no possibility of fighting side by side because we cannot trust each other. Okay?"


    Cristiano Ronaldo was stunned because he was unclear what Aldridge''s plan to put him on the first team. Was it a temporary move or was he officially entering the first team?


    After Aldridge said this, Ronaldo had the answer.


    The boss told me so much, which means that I have to look forward to the first team!


    The mood was very exciting and exciting, but Ronaldo quickly suppressed the joy in his heart, his eyes became sharp and divine, and his head was raised as if with a spirit of vitality. He knew that entering the first team was nothing, only to have The real starting point of a career is that dragons are worms, depending on future performance!


    While other members of the reserve team were enthusiastically talking about the Golden Ball Awards Ceremony, Ronaldo cleaned his closet in the dressing room of the reserve team and tore off the nameplate on the closet. He packed the items in a small bag and took a backpack to get out The team''s locker room left without looking back, and said to himself: Never come back again, never come back!


    When he came to the first team to participate in the joint training, Ronaldo appeared nervous and deep, and was out of tune with the team atmosphere.


    Because the big brothers in the team are not present, the substitute players seem to have removed a layer of mental shackles. The atmosphere in the training is relatively relaxed, but it is Ronaldo. It looks like they are preparing for a duel.


    Teammates are not surprised to see them. They will also have this state on the eve of their initial appearance. Who can calm down before the opportunity?


    Aldrich treated Ronaldo equally in the first team. He did not have any special treatment. If he insisted that there was, it was that Aldridge was stricter with him, and rare behaviors that spurred players when he took training. Like, he was extremely demanding on Ronaldinho.


    In the eyes of ordinary people, Ronaldo achieved 60 points and passed, but Aldridge would reprimand him. Ronaldo achieved 80 points. Aldridge would encourage him to work harder. Only when Ronaldo achieved 90 points, Aldridge nodded reluctantly.


    After four days of joint training with the team, Cristiano Ronaldo and the first team backup lineup are not a combination, but at least have a certain mutual understanding.


    The most important thing is that he wants to call Klose, Kaka does not have to worry, because although Kaka trains with the first team, when he does not enter the game roster, Kaka will go to the reserve team to compete with C Ronaldo. There was a period of cooperation.


    At the weekend, Millwall started with the top three players, Kaka, Ronaldo, Klose, one midfielder and two forwards.


    On the weekend, Millwall was visiting Leicester City, Aldridge set off with a replacement lineup, Fleet Street ridiculed Aldridge''s platoon formation, which was stretched because if C Ronaldo was not transferred to the first team, Millwall Even the number of people on the big list is not enough!


    Leicester City is getting worse, this year''s league is a mess, if you want to relegate successfully, unless a miracle comes.


    It¡¯s good to play such a team. At home, the opponent must score points for relegation, and it¡¯s a difficult situation where 1 point and 0 points are basically the same. Millwall is on the bench. Leicester City will play against the game. There are ideas, especially among Millwall''s strikers, there is a new face under 17 years old, which gives the outside world the feeling that the front line is weak, and Klose alone carries the offensive banner.


    Aldridge is also very face-saving, posing a 4312 formation, it seems that he wants the main force to rest, come to the bench to get 1 point, and then wait for the main force to return and fight hard to fight the East London Derby at Christmas!


    For this game, Aldridge did not encourage the morale of the team in the locker room. On the contrary, he kept the players calm, forgot the standings, and told them that Leicester City will definitely attack at home. Why? Because we are young, they may use a brutal way to make us fight!


    As for Ronaldo, Aldridge did not particularly encourage him. He knew he did not need to say anything to Ronaldo.


    Because, the day when Ronaldo came to Millwall from the age of 12, he was waiting for today, waiting for the moment of officially entering the professional league.


    He must be ready!


    Ronaldo, who was wearing the No. 37 jersey for the first time in the Premier League, held his head tall. He was unsmiling and gave the impression that this young man was too serious and might be nervous.


    Ronaldo knows that his family must be watching him through the TV screen now.


    At this moment, it was not him who was looking forward to it, but the whole family, parents, siblings.


    At a young age, he shouldered too much, and was not involved in major events in the country, that is, vital interests, related to the life and destiny of his loved ones.


    Ronaldo told himself countless times: I must succeed!


    Yes, only success can get rid of poverty, let relatives live a good life, let themselves not go back to the slums, and let themselves become human beings.


    It is this ideal and ambition that is both simple and selfish, unable to be conflated with noble, and supports him to this day.


    Under the age of 17, he not only wants to appear in the Premier League, the top five league games!


    Moreover, he is still in the forefront of the giants, which is even more commendable.


    There are not many geniuses at the age of 16 for the top league.


    But at the age of 16, the genius who can represent the top giants is rare.


    From the beginning of the game, Cristiano Ronaldo was very serious and active. He dared to fight on the court and was more eye-catching in running.


    Leicester City attacked boldly from the start.


    For a small team, the 90-minute game itself can be mastered for a short period of time. Just like a statistic in the future, it is the ball control time. This is very different from the ball control rate statistics. The ball control rate is Master the dominance of the ball, such as A to B, the ball is also calculated in the ball control rate during the flight, but the statistics of the ball control time are not calculated, 90-minute games often have a strong team ball control time of more than 35 minutes, and The weak team may have less than 20 minutes to control the ball. The rest of the time, the ball is flying in the sky.


    The weak team itself does not control the ball for a long time, and the basis for creating opportunities is not strong. The rhythm of the game is even more uncontrollable. Therefore, small teams with technical and tactical formation are usually seen, and they often choose to break out in a certain period of time. , Catching the best opportunity to hit a period of offensive climax, instead of trying to play from start to finish in the whole game, maybe in the first 80 minutes of deadlock, just waiting for the opponent to be caught by surprise in the 81st minute, provided that the ball was not lost before, and The strong team hasn''t scored a goal in 80 minutes. If you don''t get your own mentality, you will get out of balance and become anxious, attacking the weak team.


    Like the Leicester City team, the technical and tactics are completely unformed. When there was a shape, O¡¯Neal played a defensive counterattack when he coached, and lived comfortably in the days of the Premier League. After O¡¯Neal left, this ball The formations are all destroyed, and now it is a piece of sand.


    They can''t afford it with their opponents, wait and see, wait and wait, maybe the game is over.


    Millwall did not sacrifice 433 today, but a conservative formation of 4312. Leicester City actually did not consider so much. It was a fight. In case of luck, the Milwall was caught by surprise and it was not too late to consider defense afterwards. If they lost the ball first, it seems that they themselves are not surprised.


    After the offensive posture of Leicester City was put out, Millwall''s counterattack had room to play. Ronaldo played according to the rules. There was not too much personal performance at the beginning. He honestly played Klose, but the game was over. After 10 minutes, Ronaldo discovered a strange thing.


    A thing that made him unexpected but extremely happy!

 Chapter 706： Magnificence and roar

    In the past two years, Cristiano Ronaldo has become an excellent player in the Youth League''s technical team, where does the genius come from? It wasn''t him who showed off his ball skills by himself, but he was absolutely eye-catching and strong performance among his peers. Only when he stood out from the competition would he be qualified as a genius.


    In the new season, he entered the reserve team and encountered trouble in the reserve league. Although it has a certain performance, it is certainly not as powerful as in the youth league.


    The most important reason is confrontation!


    In the reserve league, Ronaldo sometimes feels that it is not playing football, but playing football!


    There is no age limit for the reserve team. The opponent he met with a young man under the age of 17 was basically a draw age over 22 years old, and some were still over 25 years old. In terms of physical strength, he was often at a disadvantage.


    This gave him an illusion that the confrontation in the Premier League is stronger than that in the reserve league. Therefore, he has been strengthening his physical confrontation for the past six months. After training, he will go to the gym to strengthen his muscles.


    But today''s Premier League debut, he found in the few confrontations with Leicester City players in the first ten minutes that his opponent''s confrontation power seems to be inferior to that of the reserve league!


    In fact, Cristiano Ronaldo was misled by his own assumption.


    The Premier League is definitely better than the reserve league, which is beyond doubt.


    But in terms of confrontation, perhaps the reserve league is more cruel than the Premier League!


    It is like the confrontation requirement of the British League One is far stronger than that of the Premier League, which is different from the brutal.


    It is a matter of physical competition and technical talent.


    When you come to the Premier League level, you will not blindly pursue confrontation. There will be a goal line in the confrontation. As long as the player meets the goal, this item will be qualified, can be based on the Premier League, and then evaluate other abilities, like Schneider, Gary Neville is not the best in terms of physical confrontation, but it can still gain a foothold in the giants. The technical and conscious advantages are the biggest reasons why they beat their competitors.


    Only in the First Division, in the reserve league, those players who lack technical expertise will make the most of their physical advantages. The so-called strengths and shortcomings, I am not as good as you, I am the body, I may be able to win the prize. Outside appreciation.


    These two points are not in conflict. Like Aldridge let Reyes go, not because Reyes¡¯ physical strength is weak but he cannot resist the wind, but he is weak in his consciousness of confrontation. First of all, he actively avoids confrontation. Then what is his physical fitness? It¡¯s weak, it doesn¡¯t matter. The weaker confrontation can stand in the Premier League. As long as the confrontation ability is not 0, then the confrontation awareness is just the basis. Like Pirlo, he is also very weak in confrontation, but he has the confrontation awareness. It¡¯s okay to go up against the opponent and lose, but he will cause limited trouble to the opponent or delay the opponent. This is enough. In the tactical system, this delay and obstruction is the key point. If he does not at all To fight, then Gattuso''s job difficulty will increase several times.


    Ronaldo found that the players in Leicester City did not imagine that he was a power beast. In a one-on-one confrontation, he could jam the position and hold the ball, and then use his speed and technical advantages to pull with the opponent. Open the distance, there is room for many skilled technical moves.


    This discovery made him rejoicing. With his joy, his inner desires were tempting. From the 15th minute of the game, he frequently made extraordinary moves after taking the ball.


    Just the act of stepping on a bicycle, he made more than three changes in technical action.


    Quickly and frequently step on the bicycle, pull the ball to change direction after stepping on the bicycle, slowly step on the bicycle to shake the opponent''s center of gravity and then pull the other side in place...


    Seeing the dazzling technical skills of this guy on the floor, the crazy lion fans who came to watch the game kept exclaiming, applauding, and cheering!


    The fans are very proud.


    Look, this is the young genius of our mad lion, who unexpectedly made his Premier League debut today, showing the strength enough to blockbuster!


    The narrator also praised Cristiano Ronaldo frequently, without a doubt, he became the focus of the court, star player.


    After receiving applause and cheers from fans, Cristiano Ronaldo became more unscrupulous, as if he had been recognized and had more motivation.


    Next, he was completely immersed in the personal world of his personal performance.


    Marseille slalomed, the crossed feet changed direction, and the scissor feet crossed the foot...


    He appeared on the court for 40 minutes and seemed to have conquered the fans.


    This kid''s football is so gorgeous and messy.


    Aldridge stood on the sideline with his arms crossed, watching C Ronaldo expressionless.


    Millwall players on the court basically watched Ronaldo expressionlessly.


    Klose, Kaka, Alonso plugged in during the attack, and in the last 5 minutes, they almost ran to the position and just watched, watching Ronaldo play enough.


    God knows when he will pass the ball!


    And when he suddenly passed the ball, for example, using a scissor foot, the ball was not passed in the first place, but the audience watched it so fun, Klose could not receive the ball, as if Klose had a problem, C Ronaldo Winning applause, Millwall attacked sparsely.


    Aldrich realized at this time that Mullenstein personally taught Ronaldo over the years, and indeed changed Ronaldo, but only changed the way Ronaldo played. For example, now he makes many technical moves that are very smooth and practical. Sex is also increasing, and you can definitely do it on a bicycle, not just do it for everyone to appreciate.


    As for the performance of Ronaldo now, it can only be said that his personal expression and ambitions are exactly the same as Ronaldo in history.


    Crazy lion fans were full of praise and applauded Ronaldo. This is normal.


    Just like the first Manchester United fans who admired Ronaldo''s skills, he would also praise him without hesitation.


    However, after a long time, the fans will understand that his kicking is indeed very popular and will soon produce a wonderful personal collection, but for the team, for the game, especially the victory of the team, it helps Not big.


    Too much self-kick, it is easy to disconnect from the team.


    Teammates don''t know what you are doing, how many talents do you have to be satisfied with? When do you pass the ball? The best time you don''t pass is a huge psychological blow to the player in position.


    When I missed the best opportunity, you give me the ball, there is a fart!


    End of the first half, 0:0.


    Cristiano Ronaldo''s offense is the most outstanding of Ronaldo, but the point of the attack is also Ronaldo.


    Leicester City''s defensive system against Millwall''s four backs and three backs, the simple and rough way can''t shake Millwall''s defense line, except for Pedretti and De Rossi''s good performance, Barzali The stability with Metzelder also contributed.


    The two teams walked into the locker room and Aldridge smoked with the coaching staff in the corridor.


    "Cristiano, he..."


    Jensen stopped smoking, and frowned.


    Coaches from the Netherlands, especially from the Ajax system, the tactical flow is the foundation. Ronaldo''s performance, which he has forgotten by himself, is absolutely destructive to tactics.


    It''s just that he hesitated what wording to use for evaluation.


    After all, this is Ronaldo''s first Premier League game.


    If he played the level of a first-class player in the first Premier League game, this requirement is very demanding.


    But if he is not properly guided, it may make him worse in the following games, and the road will be more and more curved.


    "It''s weird to watch him race at the Toyota Cup. He didn''t behave like that."


    Klinsmann also felt a headache.


    In the reserve team game, Klinsmann paid less attention. He mainly grabbed the first team. He was in charge of the player status. Cristiano Ronaldo impressed him. In two Toyota Cup games, Cristiano Ronaldo played on behalf of the first team. Last year''s game was average. This year''s performance was very good. The style of play on the court was simple and direct, and the efficiency was extremely high. Especially the modern winger''s kicking method made the opponent undefeated.


    But today, Ronaldo seems to have changed.


    Aldridge said lightly: "In the reserve team, he is the protagonist. In the first team, he still wants to be the protagonist, but he can''t reach the level of the protagonist. It''s that simple."


    The environment is different.


    In the reserve team, the youth team, even if he played the Toyota Cup on behalf of Millwall, served the whole team for Ronaldo. At least this year¡¯s Toyota Cup, Ronaldo playing the role of modern winger, is the last point of the attack, and there is a center to cover, his There is a lot of room to play.


    Today, Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the forwards, and he frequently withdraws the ball and moves away from the opponent''s penalty area. After starting the ball, the position is biased towards the winger. There is a Klose in front. The role of cover and potential is limited. Actively interact with teammates, because Millwall himself has not invested much in the offensive force, but he wants to be the protagonist, from start to finish, from 0-100 to complete all the work, but unfortunately, he did not put himself in a In the right position.


    After smoking the cigarette, Aldridge walked into the locker room and arranged the tactics for the second half step by step. The players listened patiently and carefully.


    In the first half, there was a good chance to break the goal, but Ronaldo''s lack of cooperation, the quality of the offense is greatly reduced. Although the ball looks very gorgeous offense at Ronaldo''s feet, the actual use is counterproductive.


    None of the teammates accused Ronaldo. It was just 45 minutes of the game. Ronaldo was the first show. They are tolerant of them all. Plus, there is no real big brother in the first team sitting in the locker room today.


    Although Southgate, Nedved, and Schneider will not attack Ronaldo completely, after all, he is still young, but it is normal to point out his mistakes harshly, even Ronaldinho will stand. Came to criticize Ronaldo.


    Because everyone has a strong sense to defend the glory of Millwall, for them, if they do not win the game, they will lose!


    What you do on the court is good or bad for the team. Millwall players who have experienced battles and players who understand the ideas of Millwall''s tactical system know all about it.


    Criticism is also for your own good.


    To correct your mistakes, especially in thinking, players must understand that here, no individual can override the interests of the team!


    After arranging the tactics for the second half of the game and encouraging the players, Aldridge sent the team out to prepare for the second half of the game.


    The players stood up and walked out, Aldridge suddenly said: "C Ronaldo, you stay."


    Cristiano Ronaldo didn''t even realize it. He thought he was doing well in the first half.


    But when all the teammates left the locker room and the coaching staff left, only he and Aldridge were left. He saw Aldridge''s calm eyes contained in his calmness. , Something bad will happen next.


    Aldrich stood in front of him, not angry, and said slowly: "Leave you alone, I think you are a face-saving young man, I don¡¯t want to embarrass you in front of the team. ."


    Ronaldo''s expression was serious, and the hunch in his heart was confirmed. He hadn''t opened his mouth to ask what he had done wrong. Aldrich''s face changed, and he screamed angrily at him.


    "What the **** do you think you are! The jersey you wore has the Millwall emblem. The team you represent is named Millwall. You can only have one goal on the court, that is, to fight for Millwall, for Millwall won! It¡¯s not that Millwall gave you the stage to make you stand out as a star here!"

 Chapter 707： Its time to score

    Ronaldo does not belong to the kind of coach who will accept the criticism once he criticizes the player and submits to the authority of the coach.


    Although he is also not a player who is fooling around unreasonably, but his subjective consciousness is too strong.


    In the first half of this first show, although the team did not score a lead, Cristiano Ronaldo thought it was a matter of time. In the first half, he had a shot that nearly penetrated the opponent''s door. In his eyes, it hit the crossbar. The shot that flew out just lacked some luck.


    His performance is no problem, and he has won the support and cheers of the fans. As long as he continues to work hard in the second half, he will definitely become a hero of the team''s victory.


    So when Aldridge threw his anger at him, he defended himself aloud.


    "Boss, I just want to win for the team. Your accusation is unreasonable! Your words are very unfair to me!"


    Aldrich stretched his face to his face and said unkindly: "Don''t quibble! Don''t cover up! Don''t change the subject lightly! If you don''t even have the determination to win the team, now you can take off the jersey and sit It¡¯s on the bench! Cristiano, you want to be the biggest star on the field, that¡¯s the fact! I tell you, you¡¯re not wrong, but you don¡¯t understand the reality, now, you are nothing! You are today The task is to honestly carry out my arrangements, to honestly complete the work you should do, rather than performing outside of the team yourself, you think you performed well in the first half, right? Look at the score, 0 : 0! What kind of team is Leicester City, you **** tell me aloud!"


    Ronaldo was speechless.


    Simply speaking, Leicester City is really weak.


    How weak is it?


    There was a lot of sand and the defense was full of mistakes.


    It is for this reason that Ronaldo has room for a personal performance.


    Seeing him speechless, Aldridge sneered: "Although Leicester City is not the worst in the Premier League, why are they at the bottom of the league? Why? It is because this strength is not the worst Teams, players can''t produce a positive synergy between each other on the court, which leads to their strength being weaker than they look in the game! Millwall is also the same today, even if we are a substitute lineup, it is definitely better than Leicester City. Strong! Especially when the opponent is playing at home today, we should be stronger! Why? Because the opponent has an idea, not the whole team''s thoughts to hold the tie!"


    It can be said that today Millwall encounters the best environment in both the English Premier League and the weakest game.


    The strength of the team is weak, the game may not be easy to play, because the weak team is likely to put a bus.


    However, Leicester City is the weakest on the field, but does not put a bus. In this game, the Millwall first team can be resolved in 20 minutes, and then Leicester City will be awakened, and then Die-hard.


    Even for the bench lineup, the number of opportunities in the first half is beyond count.


    But these opportunities were all squandered by Ronaldo''s forgotten performance.


    "If Ramor or Villa are not injured, they will play your starting position today, and we will score at least two goals in the first half! Even if I give your chance to Ribery, the team can At least score a goal to get the lead! Cristiano, ask yourself, is it important for the team to win, or is your own personal performance more important?!"


    Aldridge twisted and walked out of the locker room after he finished speaking.


    He never used exaggerated facts to suppress players, he would not say that Henry was inferior to Klose because of his poor performance in one or two games, and he would not attack his confidence because of Villa''s sluggish performance.


    But Ronaldo''s situation today is different from the general situation.


    It''s not that Cristiano Ronaldo has a problem, it''s a deviation in the goal of the game.


    Win is the ultimate goal.


    Only in the process of achieving this ultimate goal, Cristiano Ronaldo prefers to achieve it by himself rather than with the team.


    He not only wants to win, but also makes the game look like he won!


    This itself makes the difficulty of the game countless times.


    Is he okay?


    May be.


    Maybe in the second half, the individual really took the opportunity to help the team score the winning goal.


    But for Millwall, it is harmful to the long-term interests of the team.


    Because he was outside the team, his own positioning was not realistic.


    From the reserve team to the first team, Cristiano Ronaldo must change his team''s positioning. He is the younger team and the reserve team. He is the leading brother in the offense. Others are playing for him and assisting him.


    But to the first team, Ronaldo, who is under 17 years old, can''t be the lead brother. His current role is to help others!


    If it was seven years ago when Aldridge had just taken over from Millwall, he had 16-year-old Ronaldo in the lineup. Aldridge could give him this position and let others assist him, just like Futrezegue at the time. The high position directly put Trezeguet on Fanny, Tony and Solskjaer, which was determined by the background of the time, the team''s status and environment.


    Now, Millwall''s environment has not allowed Aldridge to do so, because such an approach will cost the game at the expense of the whole team to promote Cristiano Ronaldo''s growth.


    Cristiano Ronaldo''s landing on the Millwall first team today, is it the same as his history in joining Manchester United?


    Quite different!


    Manchester United sold Beckham in 2003. When Ronaldo joined, he was in a stage of not rebuilding but reshaping and polishing. What did Ferguson pay for Ronaldo? The record is affirmative. At that time, the undefeated division Arsenal won the best team in the Premier League for 20 years, and then there were the Magic Birds under God to create the blood blue army to sweep the Premier League. Where is Manchester United? Although it cannot be said that training Cristiano Ronaldo led to three years of silence, it is undeniable that there is a certain impact. After all, the newcomer will weaken the team¡¯s overall combat effectiveness. Only after the running-in period has passed and the newcomer¡¯s strength has been further improved. Quantify the contribution of leveling and predecessors in strength, and then talk about whether there is progress or improvement.


    Cristiano Ronaldo''s technical ability and physical confrontation have a certain foundation and reached a certain level, but his biggest shortcoming is his lack of game experience!


    This is also what all new stars have in common. The first appearance is amazing, but the state of the game cannot be guaranteed. Most of the time, either their physical or attitude problems, or lack of experience, the football field is ever-changing, different situations, judgments between electro-optical flint, This can''t be practiced, it''s the accumulation of game experience, in this regard, there is no shortcut!


    It takes a lot of players to exercise. As for whether to pick a big beam, it is not directly connected. It is not that the new star is given the heavy responsibility. He can calmly deal with various game situations. No experience is no experience. Will let experience appear out of thin air.


    A talented player like Ronaldinho, who is better than Cristiano Ronaldo. In the first team of Millwall, he still wants to start with the role he played. At first, he is quite satisfactory. Catch up with the rhythm of the whole team, merge into the team, and then on this basis, after having experience, go to play their own advantages.


    Cristiano Ronaldo is eager to achieve success. He wants to step into the sky and directly cross the running-in and become the core of the team. Aldrich does not allow it and Cristiano Ronaldo can''t do it!


    Millwall is not a small team, either a winner or a loser!


    Their record pressure is greater than other teams, how to win is the head coach to think about in the first place, any player''s personal interests can not override the team''s interests.


    There are no teams sacrificed for individuals, only individuals sacrificed for the team.


    What''s more, in the eyes of Aldrich, let Ronaldo play the game honestly, not let him sacrifice anything, it is for his good, starting from the bench, integrating into the team, keeping up with the rhythm of the bench, and then catching up with the rhythm of the main force , Familiar with the Premier League, accumulated experience, to a certain extent, Aldridge will naturally give him freedom, will give him a higher tactical status, more important team roles.


    But now, not only will Aldridge not give it to him, even if it is given to him, he can''t take it!


    Unless he can guarantee that he is the core leading backup lineup to achieve at least 60% win rate in an average of 20 games a season, while also avoiding losing as much as possible.


    Such a requirement, placed in the Premier League, is the standard of the upper and middle teams.


    He is a hairy kid with no game experience, what guarantee? Cycling?


    Cristiano Ronaldo stayed alone in the locker room for a short time. When the second half of the game began, he walked out of the player''s channel. His expression was as serious as he was in the first half.


    Ronaldo was in trouble as soon as the second half started.


    In the first half, he played around. The Leicester City midfielder adjusted and marked him strictly. Ronaldo could not get anything out of it this time, and he frequently fell to the ground due to fouls.


    When he fell to the ground, he occasionally looked to the sidelines and saw Aldridge raise his hand to protest to the referee, but the head referee ignored it.


    There was no room for full play and wanted to hit the opponent with speed, but was directly destroyed by the physical impact of Leicester City players. C Ronaldo really understood what the core meaning of what Aldridge said to him at this time.


    He is too tender!


    I thought that I would dominate the game with my hands and feet.


    It''s whimsical!


    Leicester City is weak, but it is also the last in the top league. It is not a fool, it is not a stump, it is not an amateur team that discovered your threat in the first half, and it is also staring at you in the second half!


    Ronaldo began to put away his tail, and interacted honestly with his teammates.


    Because he attracted the attention of many defensive players in Leicester City, when Ronaldo became the receiving point rather than the breakthrough point, he cleanly delivered the ball and decisively transferred the ball, but instead provided Millwall with The best cover in the offense.


    In the 59th minute of the game, Cristiano Ronaldo passed the ball from the left side of the penalty area and returned to Alonso who inserted the ball. The latter directly passed the ball to the foot of Klose who turned away from the goal in front.


    Klose is also a character closely guarded by the opponent. The carpenter handled the ball decisively, without dragging the water. He gently touched the ball and kicked the ball to the right in front of him. Kaka strode the meteor forward and took the ball towards the home. On the previous trip, I got in from Leicester City''s defensive gap and faced the opponent''s goalkeeper directly, then vigorously volleyed the ball and the ball hit the net.


    "Millwall had a simple and smooth but highly efficient cooperation. The attacking players each completed a touch. 16-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Alonso after attracting the attention of the defensive player. The Spaniard A penetrating direct pass came through the Leicester City''s backline, Klose set up a fort for Kaka, Kaka rushed into the penalty area, and the heavy artillery hit the door. This goal process It''s smooth and clear, and it''s very beautiful to transfer the ball, do the ball, and Kaka''s running position."


    Aldridge exhaled after the team scored.


    It''s time to score a goal in the scattered sand of Leicester City!

 Chapter 708： Strong

    Seeing Kaka scoring, C Ronaldo seemed to be relieved. He subconsciously understood that the team scored and could lead the opponent, at least to make Aldridge satisfied.


    This is the normal state of the team. There is nothing wrong with winning. If you don¡¯t get a satisfactory result, the team¡¯s problems will be exposed to the spotlight.


    The score was rewritten on the field, Aldridge gestured to the team before kick-off, everyone understands that this is to allow the team formation to close back.


    Although Millwall did not practice this conservative counter-attack tactics in the past few days of training, Cristiano Ronaldo''s ability to understand the coach''s tactical intentions is no problem.


    Now they are leading, Leicester City is behind, the score gap is only one ball, Leicester City will definitely not give up, then, Millwall will play the advantage of the speed of the 30-meter short-distance sprint.


    After the formation closes, Ronaldo and Klose are almost at the midfield line, so it is far away from the opponent''s goal, it does not matter, because the sprint counterattack, the final hit is not on the opponent''s goal line.


    After rushing for 30 meters, I came to the big penalty zone, and the distance was almost the same. It was the extreme position of the outbreak. In tactics, I also maximized my advantage.


    Five minutes later, Leicester City pressed back and was counterattacked. De Rossi passed the ball to Kaka after a successful defense. Kaka turned the ball and began a long-distance attack from the backcourt.


    After changing direction to get rid of a defensive player near the middle circle, the frontcourt was open, Kaka strode the ball and continued to move forward, and Ronaldo and Klose quickly rushed forward and left in front of him.


    Before coming to the big penalty area, Kaka distributed the ball to Ronaldo who cut in from the left. After Ronaldo received the ball, he took a step towards the bottom line, then swept a low ball and vigorously passed the ball in front of Klose. Outsourcing the ball into the goal.


    "Millwall''s sharp counterattack quickly expanded the score! Kaka, C Ronaldo, Klose, three people three points, in the process of quickly advancing, with a destructive momentum torn Leicester City''s fragile Defensive line! Fans of the crazy lion must be very happy, because the new aid Kaka is getting better in the summer, and today they have the young rookie C Ronaldo who gave them high hopes to give an assist. They represent the power of the new generation of crazy lion. Maybe I will be worried about the age of players like Larson, Nedved, etc. But with the outstanding performance of these young teenagers, I believe that the crazy lion will not be confused and worried about the future. They never lack high-quality fresh blood! "


    Ronaldo was more excited about this goal. He sent an assist, happily ran over and jumped on Klose''s back, celebrating the goal of basically locking the victory with his teammates.


    Aldridge smiled and secretly said in his heart: It''s that simple.


    Sometimes the game does not need to be too complicated, and the players do not have to be astonishing to play personally, and whether the individual play will help the team is the best evidence.


    Leicester City fell behind by two goals, the army was turbulent, and the team¡¯s thoughts could not be unified. The next game was a bit chaotic. There was a lot of hard work and hard work. The scene was so chaotic that the coach could not see what was organized. Technical and tactical formation.


    In the 83rd minute of the game, Klose was knocked down by the opponent from behind in the penalty area. The referee awarded a penalty. This kind of action is a small action. The referee should not see it, but Klose Guarding the ball, and then being hit from behind, the opponent obviously exerted too much force. Klose knelt down and pressed on the ball. That foul was very dazzling.


    Leicester City did not protest too much, only the foul players complained incessantly, as if the referee had helped Millwall.


    Seeing that the team had a ball, Ronaldo was tempted. He wanted to take a penalty. To be precise, he wanted to score!


    But in the second half, Leicester City clearly strengthened his personal marking. If he sticks too much, he will be caught in a trap.


    But he knows that even in the bench, he has no team status. What is the qualification of a rookie, the first game, to have a penalty kick?


    Not to mention, in this set of Millwall, Aldridge has never appointed a fixed penalty shooter. It is generally more casual. When a ball occurs, anyone who wants to punish will go, and Klose rarely goes. Penalty kick, the little carpenter is crazy, he said that as a striker, to score goals depends on sports and goals.


    Usually Ramor or Villa took penalty kicks, and neither of them was here today.


    Klose looked at it, no teammates came up to take a penalty, he walked towards Alonso, wanting to give Alonso a chance, but he saw Audric on the sideline raised his arm and pointed to C Ronaldo''s side Pointing his finger, Klose turned to Ronaldo and said to him: "The boss made you take a penalty."


    Ronaldo was standing on a farther distance with his hips. He also saw the movement of Aldridge. His heart was warm, and the depressed smoke of Aldridge roared away at halftime.


    In fact, as long as he calms down, he can understand that Aldridge is angry with him, for his good reason, and not for him or not to see him, otherwise, why would he be transferred to the first team?


    Before approaching the penalty spot, Ronaldo took a deep breath, took a deep breath, took a deep breath, and then started running with the boos of Leicester City home fans three times before, facing the goalkeeper. Very good, hit the goal range, but the angle is really, it is too bad.


    Middle road.


    The goalkeeper could not block the ball, but the goalkeeper made a move in advance to save the ball and rushed to the right, allowing Ronaldo''s actually poor quality kick to enter the goal.


    Seeing his penalty kick, Ronaldo cracked his mouth and smiled and ran to the side to celebrate. He purposely went to the camera so that the camera could be aimed at him. At the same time, his family watching the live broadcast must be clear To see myself.


    0:3!


    Millwall attacked away and Ronaldo''s penalty helped the team to lock in the victory.


    Leicester City was unwilling to fight, the last few minutes were more negative, and the score did not change.


    After the game, Aldridge turned around and walked into the player channel.


    After interviewing reporters after the game, there was no problem with the result of the game. Millwall, even as a substitute, is stronger than Leicester City. There is no doubt that winning is a matter of course.


    "Mr. Hall, today we saw Millwall have a new-faced young player debut in the Premier League. This player named Cristiano Ronaldo impressed him in the game. What do you think of his performance today?"


    "He scored a penalty and once had a direct assist. He participated in our first goal scoring process. It can be said that all three goals have his shadow. This is his job as a striker. Not bad, considering that he is still very young, the first English Premier League game can produce such answer, I should have given him full marks, I can not ask him more. However, I still think he just performed well today, because His potential is enough to make him the best player on the planet, so, as a coach, I will not relax the requirements for him, he must also realize this, stricter requirements for himself, today is just for him At the beginning, he was in the stage of improvement and learning. If two games made his will shake, his attention distracted and his attitude slack because of playing well, then he would make me very disappointed."


    The reporter was surprised and asked rhetorically: "Do you think he will be the best player in the world? Who is it like? Maradona? Bailey?"


    "No, he is himself, Cristiano Ronaldo, will not be the second Bailey, the second Maradona, the players are unique, and he will be remembered in the future, only the name will be remembered Cristiano Ronaldo."


    Aldrich turned around and left.


    On the return bus, Ronaldo took the initiative to sit next to Aldridge. The two students had a brief exchange. The two did not mention the speech conflict during the intermission. Ronaldo expressed politeness and gratitude.


    Aldrich didn''t worry. For Cristiano Ronaldo, the road is still long. The key is attitude and self-positioning. If he can''t correct his attitude and can''t find his position, then he will encounter more difficulties in the future.


    Fortunately, he still has self-knowledge, and he is not blindly proud.


    Back in London, the team will take a day off the next day, and then wait for the Christmas War.


    In the evening, Aldridge and his family participated in a party hosted by friend Carter. Before Christmas, they were friends to gather, have fun, and relax.


    Most of the local friends in England that I met a few years ago were also married and had children. The children gathered together to play in the villa, and the adults were a group of leisure and entertainment, chatting, card games, and gathering. Sing and dance together or taste delicious food.


    Sitting on the sofa smoking a cigarette, Aldridge and Carter were watching the Golden Globe Awards.


    "Who said you will win the Golden Globe Award? Although many friends around me think that Ronaldinho is more likely to be elected because he plays football with a magical color, but I think Henry is more convincing to win the award. Just think about how many years Henry¡¯s goals have been placed on other teams. How many championships will it bring? Or, if Millwall does not have Henry, how much threat will the front line drop? The team will not be like this now. Invincible."


    Carter is publishing his opinions, Aldridge smiled.


    Yeah, Ronaldinho is very magical and creative. Without him, Millwall''s offense will be greatly reduced.


    Henry is a super killer, without Henry''s ability to end, Millwall''s offensive power will also decline.


    In Aldrich''s words, Millwall can become a teacher of the king, and no one can do less, no one, the king''s dominance will obviously decline, including Nedved, Larson, Pirlo, Each is important.


    "No matter who wins the award, I have to congratulate you, huh."


    Carter saluted Aldridge. Aldridge picked up his glass and touched him, nodding with a smile.


    On the TV screen, the lens is frequently aimed at Millwall stars, Henry, Ronaldinho, Larson, Nedved, Pirlo, Schneider, Southgate...


    Millwall went to the ceremony for a vote, and in this way, they still defeated their opponents 3:0 in the league. The outside world lamented that Millwall''s talents are strong!


    They sat under the stage in suits and leather shoes, relaxed and relaxed, talking and laughing, they didn''t seem to have much tension, but their faces were obviously proud.


    Only when the result was announced, they put away their relaxed expressions and changed their faces to a serious and solemn look.

 Chapter 709： Talk about ambition

    The scene of the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.


    When the final result was announced, the audience was thunderous and all the guests stood up and applauded.


    Twelve years later, the Golden Globe Awards appeared for the fifth time with the club to occupy the top three!


    The first and second times were the West German national team, the third and fourth times were during the AC Milan dynasty, 88 and 89 years in a row, the 88 years in the same period, also belonged to the Dutch national team in the top three.


    And for the fifth time, after 12 years, Millwall completed such a feat!


    Third place, Pirlo.


    Second place, Ronaldinho.


    The first place is Henry.


    Ronaldinho, ranked second, was only 4 votes away from Henry. Pirlo was farther away from the first two, with a difference of 80 points in the voting score, and he did not have much advantage in the fourth and fifth places. The fourth place was won by Nedved, and the fifth place was Larson. It was not until the sixth place that he saw the names of other club players, Irving.


    Millwall not only completed the top three, but also miraculously reached the historical peak of the top five in the Golden Ball voting!


    There is no doubt that the mad lion dynasty reached a peak in a pure sense in this year, regardless of team honors or personal honors!


    The guests at the scene also stood up and applauded to the award-winning players who created the mad lion dynasty.


    Millwall''s players in a row and their families also got up.


    The players smiled at each other, and the camera was aimed at Ronaldinho and Henry. The two hugged. Henry and Ronaldinho whispered for a long time in the applause of their teammates.


    Before the results were revealed, Millwall''s players were very worried.


    Today, attending the ceremony is very low-key. The ghost knows whether it will be an empty joy. With last year''s experience, even if the outside voices are high this year, they dare not have particularly high expectations.


    Now the result is out, Millwall has won a lot, and Ronaldinho has no regrets. He is only 21 years old. He won the second place this year, which is also helpful to the future. Although Henry looks young, he is only 24. year old.


    However, Henry''s crazy performance of scoring goals in recent years, no one will question the winner.


    Trophies, personal data, performance on the court, impeccable.


    When Henry took the stage to give his award-winning speech, Fleet Street was preparing the headlines for the next day''s publication. In addition to reporting on Henry''s award, there was also a news that they were focusing on editing.


    "Aldrich Hall tied Michelles! Mr. Golden Ball''s creator!"


    When Henry became Mr. Golden Ball this year, Aldridge also added a glorious sum to his personal honor book, and laid a foundation that may be unprecedented in the future.


    Larson, Nedved, Henry.


    He trained three Golden Globe winners.


    Only Michelles has done this in history. Now, Aldridge is on par with his achievements. In the future, as long as Aldridge develops a Mr. Golden Ball, this record will be the best in history!


    Aldridge, who was watching the live broadcast in front of the TV, was already standing on the sofa, roaring with excitement and having fun with friends.


    Henry said what he said. He didn''t listen. Anyway, it was basically some diplomatic rhetoric arranged by the broker.


    Burt and Earl were like two little lunatics jumping around Aldridge. In their eyes, Henry won the award, just like winning a new championship.


    "Hello, Aldridge, it''s not over yet. UEFA seems to have announced a new honor."


    "Huh? What?"


    Aldrich hugged Ewen, holding a bottle of wine in the other hand, and then took a sip and smiled and asked.


    "Best coach of the year, you!"


    Carter pointed at the TV, Aldridge stared at him, and said with a smile: "This award is boring!"


    Entering the new century, UEFA is also advancing with the times, so it opened a selection of the best team and coach of the year in Europe.


    This selection does not have much authority, it can only be said to be an honorary award established by an authority.


    The voter is a user registered on the UEFA official website, and then submits the list of the best 11 people and coaches in mind, and the results will be announced after UEFA statistics.


    Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that this award does not have much authority.


    Talking is better than nothing. Having an award is better than nothing.


    After the results of the selection of the best team of the year were announced, no one was surprised.


    Goalkeeper: Canizares.


    Guards: Schneider, Hypia, Southgate, Lizarazu.


    Midfielders: Beckham, Nedved, Zidane, Ronaldinho.


    Forwards: Henry, Trezeguet.


    Best coach: Aldridge Hall.


    Among the 11 best players of the year, 5 were from Millwall, and Trezeguet has a mad lion background. The results of this selection and the shocking effect of the Golden Globe Awards made a comment in the fan community.


    The best lion in the half team!


    The name of Millwall''s cradle is even louder.


    Three days later, the results of the UEFA Champions League second stage group draw were announced.


    After the results of Millwall¡¯s group were announced, the media lamented: When was the grievance reported?


    Millwall, Bayern Munich, Galatasaray, Boavista.


    Bayern Munich alone, Millwall has met in the European War for the fourth consecutive year!


    The opponents of the Champions League final last season have to play two games in the second group stage.


    Galatasaray and Millwall also have grudges.


    Even the strange face, Bo Vista, was a bit of a hatred with Millwall, even if it was rendered by the media.


    Where is Boavista''s team?


    Portugal!


    In which city?


    Porto!


    In the group stage, Millwall just sent Porto home and now has to face a team from Porto, Portugal.


    Millwall players who attended the Golden Globes ceremony had a short holiday, showed their faces at the Golden Globes feast, a little scenery, and then returned to the team to prepare for the Christmas Wars East London Derby.


    Everyone is happy and happy.


    On the eve of East London Derby, Aldridge always smiled at the press conference.


    A reporter asked him what he thought of Henry¡¯s award.


    Aldridge laughed: "That''s what he deserves. How many goals he scored for the team proves how important he is. As for how good he is, see how many teams want to get him. understood."


    All Europe, although not every giant is chasing Henry, but financially, more than 80% hope to get Henry.


    The reporters also understood that every time during the transfer, Henry must be a name associated with many giants. Their own running news became a fixed material. The catching the wind is to make Henry and other giants make some scandals.


    "Millwall players have won the top five of the Golden Globes. This is a scene that has never appeared in history. This should be regarded as a great achievement of Millwall? Do you think this result is fair?"


    "Fair? If you feel unfair, then you have to come up with a basis for fairness. These five players not only did their job brilliantly, helped the team to win continuously, but also, they all have their own characteristics. Many young players imitate them. They are idol players, like Nedved, Larson, and model players. At this point, I think that when the coach has the most say, no coach in the world will refuse to have such a player. ."


    Aldridge talked eloquently, and now it''s really floating.


    Soul pleasure is the greatest.


    Premier League records, European records, team honors, personal honors, Millwall has broken through the history, and now open the record of the five major leagues, home winning streak, undefeated, league winning streak, undefeated, goal score, attack group record, Goal record, goal difference record, record-breaking massacre record, games, trophy record over a period of time, player personal peak honor record.


    It can be said that Millwall''s second-generation mad lion reached the peak period in his hands, and even the outside world can no longer have higher goals for this team.


    What they can do is to break through the self, and the object to be surpassed is also the self!


    The atmosphere at the press conference was harmonious, more like Aldridge chatting with reporters.


    The reporter couldn''t pick out the mad lion''s fault. In this Aldrich spring breeze, the mad lion couldn''t commit to splashing cold water when it was very popular, so that it seemed disgusting to others, harming others and self-interesting.


    Next talked about the Champions League lottery grouping.


    Aldridge¡¯s smile was constant, and the reporter had previous experience and asked an alternative question.


    "What do you think of Millwall''s ideal group draw?"


    Why did the reporter ask?


    Because last year, Aldridge said privately that it was best to be in a group with the strongest team after the draw.


    Aldridge laughed: "Because we have won the first place in 6 games, the second stage group draw will have a lot of limitations. To avoid the same league, we will be the second of two groups and the first of one group. In the same group, Bayern Munich should be considered the strongest of the opponents. Maybe Real Madrid is also a good opponent. As for the two groups, Rome is the strongest. Next, other Among the opponents that can be drawn, Galatasaray is counted, and the result of this draw should be almost the same."


    "The result of the second draw has already come out. Is it difficult for Millwall to advance to the quarterfinals?"


    "Hahahaha."


    Aldridge smiled loudly.


    Many reporters also laughed with his laughter.


    This question sounds redundant.


    If Millwall fell out of the quarterfinals, this is a bit ironic.


    It is not that the strong team will not overturn the gutter, but the probability of overturning in the group stage is not large, because the fault tolerance rate is high, unlike the knockout game, the knockout game did not play well in 180 minutes, so you don¡¯t have to be too surprised to get out of the cold.


    But to say that four teams, six games, two qualifying places, the team with the strongest and most stable championship winners were kicked out, this is estimated not only to be upset, but also a series of unpopular continuous brewing such a result.


    After Aldridge smiled, his expression condensed a little lightly, and solemnly said: "Millwall has won two Champions League trophies through hard battles in the past two seasons. We have established in the league this season. Huge advantage, we have more room for preparation than other teams participating in the Champions League, we are the defending champion, we have three Golden Globes, have half of the best players in Europe, we are strong because we have difficulties to overcome Will and determination, we will be fully prepared to deal with all possible unexpected difficulties, and then overcome the difficulties, and strive to further expand the glory of our period, when we first won the Champions League in 1998, I told my players , We won the championship, know what we have to pay, what can we gain, do we have experience, want to relive the joy of winning the championship? Want to enjoy that glory? Then we must always be ready to fight, this is Millwall''s football philosophy is the team''s spiritual belief. Since we are already the most concerned team in Europe and the world, a top-level strong team! So, I don''t have to hide anything. Millwall is in this season. The goal of the European arena is only higher than last year. We must strive to achieve the three consecutive Champions League! Of course, this will not be easy, but we are not a team to take a step by step, our ambition is to board Europe and the world. Peak, and it will continue!"

 Chapter 710： Win, hero. Lost, sinner.

    Perhaps some reporters will think that Aldridge was somewhat ecstatic when he was at Millwall and peak.


    The Champions League is strong, and the changes are difficult to predict. Even if Millwall is recognized as the strongest, it may not be able to steadily achieve the three consecutive Champions League feats.


    But Aldridge did not say this to outsiders, nor did he show his arrogance.


    He meant to the Millwall people, to fans, players, and everyone who cares about Millwall.


    Since Millwall is already recognized as the strongest, he does not need to be pretentious, false, humble and low-key, deliberately flattering opponents and creating psychological pressure on players.


    Millwall had to complete the transformation when he was brilliant.


    From spiritual temperament to club image.


    In the past few years, Millwall has changed from a weak traveler to a strong man. The outside world will think that Millwall is a strong team. After becoming a giant, the competitive strength is also within the top five in Europe. Now, Audric is to Make Millwall more special and detached!


    In the past, they were the strong among the weak, but now they are the king among the strong!


    The pursuit of the team, the goals of the team, the spirit of the players, the inner pride, and the superiority of the outside world are to a certain extent.


    This is no different from social phenomena.


    Equality is the biggest joke.


    Those who work part-time are divided into three, six, nine, etc., and those who are bosses are also distinguished between good and cheap. Why wouldn''t the bosses of large enterprises have a sense of superiority? Why can''t there be?


    The same is true of the Greenery Field. Why does Manchester United Real Madrid feel so proud? Why do you have a temperament that disrespects the heroes?


    Why do players frequently say that it is a glory to wear the jersey of a certain team?


    In addition to the club''s heritage and current strength, the biggest factor is the club''s pursuit and goals.


    Two years ago, Millwall could be said to participate in the Champions League one by one patiently, striving to go further.


    Can I still say that?


    It is a shame not to enter the quarterfinals!


    Failure to enter the semifinals is a failure!


    This is the foundation of Millwall''s survival. The record pressure and goal pursuit are very different from the past.


    As for whether Aldridge''s words will cause psychological pressure on the players, Aldrich thinks this: wearing a mad lion shirt, you should be stressed, and have the ability and will to overcome the pressure!


    At the end of the press conference, we only talked about the theme of tomorrow''s game.


    "Four years later, the East London Derby reignited the battle, and the gap between Millwall and West Ham has reached an indescribable distance. With such a huge difference in strength between the two sides, what kind of trend do you think the game will be? Wall won easily?"


    Aldridge''s expression was completely serious, and he said in a deep voice: "The significance of the East London derby is not the strength gap between the two teams. Millwall and West Ham United, the derby between the rivals, the competitive influence is definitely not as good as the Madrid derby and the Spanish derby. , Italy Derby, Milan Derby and other high-level levels, but the East London Derby lasted more than 100 years, the influence of the two teams of local fans is huge, such confrontation sentiment is inherited from the ancestors, and will continue to continue, four Years ago, West Ham United relegated. Four years later, they returned to the Premier League. Now, Millwall and West Ham United have met. This is not a game between the Premier League leaders and the Premier League relegation team. Simple, the decisive battle between dead enemies! If we lose the East London Derby, even if we win the championship, it will cast a shadow on this season, because we will make the fans reluctant to recall this season and recall the injury to the dead enemy. Pain, for the game, I have two words to say, the first is to the players of Millwall, this game has to work hard! The second is to say to West Ham United, don¡¯t try to dominate the game in a brutal way, We will pay close attention to everything that happens in the game. You can foul on the field, but you can¡¯t use violence. It¡¯s a crime. If they use a brutal behavior that is beyond the scope of the game, Millwall will definitely pursue it and let West Ham Wings pay the price!"


    ...


    Aldridge''s public pressure on West Ham United brought him a warning from the FA and a fine of ¡ê5,000.


    Even so, Fleet Street still believes that once a West Ham United player shoveled Lucas Neal into a serious injury in the game, the FA will still stand on the side of Millwall, and the party will be inevitably Heavy penalties are always imposed. After all, Aldridge and the English football team always take the same boat. This is the consensus of the outside world.


    West Ham United coach Glen Rodell strongly protested and accused Aldridge''s remarks. Because of Aldridge''s influence, what he said caused a huge reputational loss to West Ham United. Aldrich fans may not know West Ham United. Listening to Aldridge¡¯s words, it seems to him that West Ham United is a rogue team.


    This made fans of the Hammer Gang explode.


    Speaking of gangsters, ten years ago, the gangster name of the Hammer Gang was not as good as the mad lion!


    Millwall is going north across the Thames to the Upton Park Stadium for the game.


    More than half of the London police force was dispatched. From the morning of the game, they came to the radiation community of West Ham United in East London to maintain order. Mounted police were everywhere in the streets around the stadium. Millwall¡¯s bus crossed the Thames and slowed down. The speed, under the protection of the police car lane, slowly drove towards the Upton Park stadium.


    A large number of West Ham United fans greeted the arrival of the mad lion in a "traditional" way.


    As Aldridge said, the East London Derby has never changed because of the difference in strength between the two teams.


    When the mad lion is not as good as the hammer gang in the past, the hammer gang will not reduce the hatred of the mad lion at all, and will not despise the other party because it is high, and Millwall is the same.


    Compared with the past, there are fewer fights between football hooligans, but there must be, it is estimated that in some abandoned stadiums and factories, the football hooligans of the two teams have already started fighting.


    Millwall¡¯s players sitting in the bus are hard to avoid being attracted by the hostile fans on the street outside the car.


    They once visited the Devil''s home in Turkey, where the fans seemed to see them go to the devil''s den to watch them go to the execution ground.


    And the attitude of the Hammer to help the fans is a bitter hatred.


    Shouting to turn the crazy lion.


    This kind of hatred is not relieved by victory. Even if the opponent dies, we must whip to celebrate!


    Many West Ham fans can¡¯t forget that, four years ago, Aldridge led the team in the case of winning the championship in advance, with a substitute team at the last minute to count down the West Ham United and directly send their beloved hammer In the hell-like British League, after four years in hell, they finally crawled back!


    In this game, the Hammer Gang certainly has a low chance of winning, even at home, but besides victory, it is a war of blood and dignity!


    This kind of hatred beyond the competitive field of 18,000 miles, many players in the Millwall team cannot understand, West Ham United has changed blood in recent years, and the players who want to play this game today will certainly be unable to understand.


    West Ham United is now an authentic mercenary. The former European Garbage United is still living on cheap foreign aid. Although Millwall has players with their own youth training background, there is no real sense. Millwall descent player.


    Like Pirlo, he belongs to Millwall youth training, but even if he has experienced the East London Derby, he still can¡¯t understand where the hatred of the two teams came from. Only knowing that everyone hates each other, then follow the mainstream, only I hated it.


    Ronaldinho, Miao Honggen''s Millwall youth training products, he has more problems than anyone today, such as why the two teams hate and why there is such a big grudge, it can be seen that he actually can''t understand the East London Derby.


    Veteran players, like Southgate, Nedved, and Larson, have a hatred of West Ham. In addition to the influence of fans, it also stems from the fact that West Ham United shoveled Neil as a serious injury. .


    No one knows what kind of professional height Neil can achieve. Since he was 16 years old, he has played the main role under Audridge. If it was not that serious injury, maybe he is not just a reliable substitute for Millwall now. For a player in the most critical age of growth, it is equivalent to at least half the talent!


    Millwall, West Ham United, the players of the two teams, there is no doubt about the attitude of this game, they do not need to understand why hate between the two endless clubs, just need to know that this is the need of local fans !


    Players'' popularity and achievements are high, half of them rely on their own efforts, half rely on fans.


    Without fans like you, you have no commercial value, without commercial value, there is no more media to promote for you.


    If you don¡¯t have the support of local fans, you won¡¯t be happy at home, or even the other way around. If your home team fans boo you every day, won¡¯t your competitive status be affected? The psychological pressure can be imagined.


    So that slogan is absolutely correct: fight for the fans!


    Millwall is a world-class club. It is not known how many fans like them around the world, but the most important and important thing is local fans. They buy tickets to watch games. This is the most intuitive economy. Interests, they cheer for the team and cheer for a certain player in the stands. This is also the most intuitive type of group interaction that can affect the players and make them feel.


    After four years, Aldridge revisited the place and came to Upton Park Stadium again.


    The whole team warmed up before the game. Aldridge was sitting alone in the locker room. He didn¡¯t want to go outside to cause riots. He knew that every Hammer fan would like to shatter his body.


    Because he not only led Millwall to defeat West Ham United, but also humiliated the Hammer Gang with a arrogant attitude.


    This reason is enough for him to be remembered, and absolutely enough for him to be permanently hated by the hammer to help the fans.


    In turn, it makes Aldridge loved by fans of the Lions more deeply, remembered and admired forever.


    The players looked dignified when they returned to the locker room. When they warmed up, they felt the pressure from the stadium.


    If going to Turkey is a visit to the Hell Stadium, then the game at Upton Park Stadium seems to have entered an unowned land, chaotic and disorderly, the fans in the stands yelled at them, throwing debris, the game did not start, A large number of security guards surrounded the stands, almost forming an alternative landscape.


    Aldridge looked at the time and the game was about to start. He stood up and simply said: "In this game, you work hard to win the game and it is a hero. You lose the game lightly or relaxed, you are the fans who cannot be forgiven. Sinner, me too."


    As soon as the words fell, Aldridge opened the locker room door and walked out.


    This game is so simple.


    Fight, win, is the hero in the hearts of fans.


    Fear, lose, is the sinner in the hearts of fans.


    No matter how much you have done in the past and how much you contributed, this game is independent and special, and it is also different from the match between Millwall and Chelsea.


    Aldridge wore a warm coat today and walked steadily towards the court along the player tunnel.


    When he had seen the natural light in the stadium, he had already waited for the two stadium security guards on both sides of the exit of the player''s tunnel to turn around and protect him. When he walked out of the player''s tunnel, the security guard raised his umbrella and hit Aldridge''s head...

 Chapter 711： First Warrior

    It''s raining.


    Ping pong.


    When Aldridge walked out of the player''s tunnel, a coin rain began to fall.


    The dense coins hit the umbrella held by the security guard and made a cluttered mess.


    Aldridge was slowly escorted by four security guards to the visiting coach¡¯s seat. In the stands near the exit of the player¡¯s passage, the riots had caused riots. The security guards were ¡°suppressing¡± the home team fans who tossed the coins.


    The stands behind the visiting team coach seat, today the Football Association specifically stipulated that West Ham must sell the tickets here to the visiting team fans.


    Otherwise, the incident in which the Millwall coaching staff members were attacked by the fans in the stands in the coach seat is likely to repeat itself.


    At this time, the situation of the resistance of the chambers on both sides was more clear.


    The home team coach seat and the visiting team coach seat are not too far apart, separated by the player channel exit, one side is the home team coach seat, followed by the home team fan, the other side is the visiting team coach seat, and the back is the visiting team fan, except for the field side coach area, In the aisle, from top to bottom, the sturdy stadium security personnel lined up a tightly-seamed human wall to isolate the fans from both sides. The people were blocked, but their mouths could not be controlled. The distance between the two sides was not too far apart. Scold.


    There is not much poetry and vulgarity in cursing people. It¡¯s just that West Ham United is shit, Millwall is **** or the like, or clamoring to explode the other¡¯s chrysanthemum, or to serve the mouth...


    Turning around and looking at it, it was absolutely a spectacular sight to scold and scold each other in the stands.


    West Ham United has already waited for Aldridge to appear, first greeted with a coin rain, but unfortunately it was resolved by an umbrella with a security guard. Now, he has begun to curse targetedly.


    Such as Aldridge is a beast, a villain, there is a breed, guaranteed not to kill you...


    Millwall''s counterattack was very fast, because West Ham United coach Glen Rodell also appeared, and they began to curse Glen Rodell, insulting him as a stinky bitch, a bitch...


    Glenn Rodel is a gentleman in his forties. He is like a scholar in his forties. He is slender and thin. He has never experienced the East London Derby seriously. The fans reacted so. If it was war in the stands, it was Insulting the word war is more like a person who usually follows the rules, and instantly turns into a grudge against the sky, and a group of demons dancing wildly.


    Aldridge''s face was calm and unaffected by the atmosphere in the stands. Rodel was different. The psychological pressure and insults by the public have obviously affected his emotions. His complexion is bluish and white, changing several times.


    The players of both sides are preparing to play in the player channel. For the players to play, the stadium security does not have special protection, and the fans have no targeted premeditation. After all, Aldridge is a person. The player is playing. There is Xiao Li Feidao''s accurate head, otherwise he will hit his own player, what''s the matter!


    Southgate led Milwall to a strong attack. He held his head high and showed no fear. Not only did he experience such a battle in the past, but also due to experience, he had read thousands of sails and his mind was as stable as Taishan.


    And like Ronaldinho and Henry, I haven¡¯t experienced it before, and today I suddenly heard the harsh shouting outside. This kind of majestic prestige has a terrifying magic. The attention is easily distracted. The game has not started, and the stadium has not yet When you walk in, you will feel that you are not here today, but that you are ready to walk into the field. The whistle sounded, and the two sides opened up to fight melee!


    When the players of both sides entered the court under the leadership of the referee, they just walked to the sidelines, the referee''s feet had not yet stepped into the court line, and the shock in the Upton Park stadium suddenly began.


    A large flag suddenly fluttered in the wind from the edge of the north stand. In the winter season, a young man with a muscular shirtless body jumped into the field with the help of a friend with a West Ham United team flag, and then ran toward the field with the flag. .


    The Upton Park stadium suddenly fell silent, and soon the home team fans burst into a roar of madness, cheering for the young guy who entered.


    The cold weather couldn''t make this brave young man feel the slightest coldness. His behavior was reflected in the eyes of fans of West Ham United, and a flaming flame was ignited in his heart.


    He carried a large flag and ran towards the center of the stadium. The flag of the hammer group became the focus of the audience and fluttered in the Upton Park stadium. When he came to the kick-off point in the center of the stadium, his right hand pushed the flagpole to the next. Insert, the flag of West Ham United straight into the ground, proclaiming the majesty of the Hammer Gang at home!


    He was like the first warrior who had fought in ancient times. He was the first to board the enemy''s city and inserted his own banner on top of the enemy''s city, which greatly boosted his morale.


    There was still something wrapped around his waistband. He pulled it around, spread it and threw it on the ground. It was Millwall''s team flag. He ran away two steps, took out a lighter and hit it, throwing it towards the ground, Mill Wall''s team flag was instantly burned by the lighter.


    The flag of the mad lion started to burn under the flag of the hammer gang, and the game did not start. The Upton Park stadium was already full of excitement. The home team fans seemed to have won the flag and screamed to celebrate. The mad lion fans were filled with indignation and clamored for the man Ten thousand pieces!


    After this guy bravely completed all of this, the security guards who had come from all directions were approaching, and he rushed directly into the direction of Aldridge.


    This time, the security of the stadium here is tense.


    Aldridge looked cold, but took a step forward. His actions scared the security guards and assistant referees around him. Someone immediately stood in front of him. Many people can remember that the fans who rushed into the stadium were Aldridge slapped a slap in the floor.


    But today the fan''s behavior is too crazy, not only carrying the flag into the field, but also carrying flammables, God knows what dangerous goods he has!


    When he was 5 meters away from Aldridge, he was thrown to the ground by a big-bellied security guard. He was struggling to get up like a beast on the ground, his head screamed at Aldridge: "The Hammer Gang will crush today Crazy Lion! Crush Crazy Lion! Crush Crazy Lion!"


    On other occasions, his behavior must be considered neuropathy, lunatic, or cult fanatic!


    But here, no one thinks it is too subversive. Football has the power to make people fall into flames.


    Aldrich shouted at him through the security guard: "Look at the game with your eyes wide open! Watch! Listen! Will the crazy lion be crushed by the hammer?"


    The boy was kicked back by the security guard, and he kept shouting the words on his way after being taken away by the security guard: The hammer helped crush the crazy lion!


    The referee standing on the sidelines and the players on both sides of the lineup looked harsh at this time. They probably understood the true meaning of the East London Derby from the behavior of this fan.


    Can this be said to be the essence of competitive sports?


    No, it''s already beyond this category.


    After the riots subsided, the fans of the Hammer Gang shook their cheers at home.


    What just happened is like they won the first game on the battlefield.


    In the stands behind Aldrich, they are all faithful fans of Millwall, and the leader is Aldridge''s hair-raising, Brady.


    Brady, who is now the owner of an online company, has spent more than ten million pounds in a few years. The company''s business is heavy, and the energy to manage the fan organization is not enough on weekdays. Since last year, he has faded out of the fan organization. He has also become a "legendary" figure in the Lion Roar fan organization, and has a great influence among the fans.


    Today¡¯s game, even if he has millions of business to talk about, it must be put on hold, not to mention, the East London Derby, in the heart of the real Millwall, its importance is more important than the Champions League final. important!


    So, today Brady "returns from the rivers and lakes", with Sol next to him, and Fred the same old-aged mad lion fan.


    The game will be postponed for a few minutes, because the court staff is going to clean up the kick-off point, where there is burning matter.


    The atmosphere at Upton Park Stadium became one-sided, and the fans of the home team surged.


    This is a young guy who struggled for a lifetime ban!


    Seeing that the atmosphere on the court was not right, Brady took off the jersey with anger, stood on his shoulders with the help of Fred, turned to face the entire grandstand, gestured, and said: "Dry! The hammer helps him Does mom think the crazy lion will be scared? Tell them who is the owner of East London and who is the king of England!"


    The fans in this grandstand acted quickly.


    In the East London Derby, the fan organization is more fully prepared. Some celebrations or demonstrations are prepared to be displayed during the game. Brady saw that the atmosphere of the stadium is not right, and he didn¡¯t even wait. Just make an appearance!


    Not long after, this stand attracted the attention of the live camera, and only the audience on the same side could not see it. The fans on the other three stands could clearly see the pictures displayed on the stand.


    The jerseys worn by these fans today are the traditional Millwall blue jerseys. From the front, there is no problem at all. The stands have always been a blue ocean. However, behind them, the jerseys have been changed, like a piece of pattern puzzle. When they turned around to compose the puzzle, a vivid picture was displayed in the Upton Park stadium, which was captured by the live broadcast and spread to the world.


    This pattern is the majestic blue lion''s majestic head, symbolized by Millwall, and the team logo on the hammer gang.


    The whole stadium fell into silence for a moment. Hammer helped the fans to see the provocative demonstrations made by the fans of the crazy lion, and immediately cursed frantically. Brady laughed, and he and the people around him rhythmically separated from the enemy fans again. Scold.


    The home team''s uplifted momentum was disrupted again, and the two sides returned to the previous confrontation. The entire stadium''s stands were chaotic. If it were not like a winding dragon encircling the two teams of fans, it is estimated that there has been a scuffle in the stands. .


    After the fan was taken away, Aldridge returned to his original position with the security guard and assistant referee. He turned his head blankly and looked at Glenn Rodel.


    The opponent seemed to be stepped on his tail, his expression seemed to be frightened, and shouted angrily to Audridge: "This is an accident, don''t you want to blame West Ham United, discredit us! If it is at Lion King Stadium, the same The same thing will happen, that is, your fans are picking things up!"


    Aldridge raised his mouth slightly, shrugged his shoulders, and withdrew his gaze to look into the stadium.


    He didn''t say a word, Rodel seemed to be a guilty conscience, the explanation was not like the explanation, the bite was not firm enough, there was obviously a cowardice afraid of Aldridge.


    Could Rodell not be afraid?


    Millwall was in a blast, and Aldridge was prospering again in the FA FA network.


    In case the English Football Association really borrows the question, West Ham can''t afford the heavy penalty.

 Chapter 712： Front waist

    "The long-lost East London Derby is staged again. The atmosphere of Upton Park Stadium today is believed to surprise everyone. There was a small episode before the game, which was not mentioned, and talked about the situation of the warring parties. Millwall is everyone¡¯s Familiar with the huge advantage in the Premier League, West Ham United returned to the Premier League after four years. The hammer hammer led by Rodel is going to undergo a difficult relegation this season. Now they are ranked fifth from the bottom, only from the relegation zone. 3 points, the result of this game will determine their ranking in the Premier League halfway, and lay the foundation for the second half of the season."


    "Millwall and West Ham United are all main players. In the past, we always said that Millwall is a comprehensive and powerful team. They can play a mercury offensive football, which makes the offense beautiful. The style of West Ham United under Roder is very monotonous, that is, emphasis on confrontation and speed. Before the game, some people worried that the crazy lion will be attacked by muscle football on the road today, plus the influence of the East London Derby. Earl warned West Ham United to pay attention to the action before the game, but I believe West Ham United will definitely cause trouble to Millwall."


    This game is really less than optimistic about Millwall. Derby is a derby after all. Unlike the derby between other London teams, Millwall and West Ham¡¯s famous dead rival are on the field. The contest is not football skills. Looking back, there are many serious injuries on the field, and **** fights outside the court are common. Such games are analyzed and predicted from the perspective of competition.


    Millwall is still a 433 Millwall. It looks like there is no change from the past. West Ham United has a 451 formation. The defense relies on a hard midfield interception, the offense relies on the side counter, the strength is weak, and the tactical choice is not originally. It¡¯s more easy to think, but it¡¯s easier to make mistakes. Honestly moving the defense zone backward, the aggression is improved, blocking the opponent¡¯s offense. What kind of counterattack can be played depends on the spot.


    At the beginning of the game, West Ham United kicked off, they launched a side attack, played on the left, the left forward just brought the ball into the defender''s defense zone, Schneider came up with a ferocious front tackle, which broke the ball out of bounds, West Ham United players had a lingering fear, and Schneider stood up and stared at the defense without changing his color.


    "Wow, Schneider actually made a clean tackle? This is not in line with his style. It seems that Millwall attaches great importance to today''s game."


    West Ham United''s boundary ball was just sent out, Gattuso knocked down the opponent''s pick from behind, the referee whistled for a foul, and called Gattuso to the front to give a little warning.


    The referee wanted to control the emotions of the players on the court. Unexpectedly, the crazy lion attacked away, but took the lead.


    Seeing this scene, Rodel burst out of curse with anger.


    "Hall, you are so mean! You are such a decent villain!"


    Aldridge heard the next door scolding himself and turned to take a step forward. The fourth officer immediately stepped forward and blocked him, indicating that he could not leave the command area of ??the visiting team¡¯s coach seat.


    Seeing Roder''s angry face, Aldridge spread his palms proudly and said: "It is good to be mean or shameless. This is one of the skills of the head coach. If you don''t understand, you can ask me for advice. I won''t be stingy. Teach you patiently."


    Roder also took two steps forward, speechless, he was a little gentleman-like, provocatively naked like Aldridge, he didn¡¯t know how to fight back, he fell into the wind all at once, he left In two steps, the fourth official stood in front of him again and issued a warning to him, so that he could not help but gritted his teeth and turned back.


    Aldridge warned West Ham United to converge on the field before the game. Roder was really afraid that West Ham United would move out of the game and then be chased by the FA. Leeds United¡¯s overweight ticket last season almost abolished Bao. Yesterday''s tragedy is vividly visible, and Rodell asked the players to pay attention to the movements in the game, and never exceed the scope of the competition.


    However, Millwall came as a guest, obviously the most gorgeous and delicate team to play in the Premier League, but obviously strengthened his aggression in defense, from Schneider''s tackle, Gattuso''s foul, intuitively Reflects Millwall''s "kill" in this game!


    Roder knew this and was fooled!


    Aldridge did not spoof his face, he admitted frankly that this is a part of football, you are fooled, it means that your strength is not enough, just that.


    Modern football is not a gentleman''s argument on swords.


    Even so, Aldridge¡¯s approach has a bottom line. Like Herrera¡¯s style beyond the moral bottom line in the era of the big international, he can¡¯t accept it himself. He can fight psychological wars, so it¡¯s mysterious or misleading the enemy. This is actually The usual trick.


    After West Ham lost the ball, it was Millwall¡¯s turn to organize the offense. They quickly returned to the backcourt and made a tight defense. Millwall is in the same situation as playing other games.


    It''s just that West Ham United is really a tough bone.


    On this occasion today, the atmosphere of the field is very likely to affect the players. The players of West Ham United are good mercenaries, but they also have to please the home team fans. Otherwise, it is still a question whether they can keep their jobs. Dare to work in the East London Derby. Then the anger of the fans is likely to make a player roll out!


    "The midfield confrontation is very fierce. This is roughly the same as our pre-match analysis. In such a game, Ronaldinho and Henry are unable to exert 100% strength, but Nedved Become the most eye-catching person on the field."


    Nedved had a very high winning rate in the confrontation. He defeated his opponents in the confrontation again and again, stuck his position in the fight, and courageously knocked away the opponent. He won the tsunami-like cheers of Millwall fans.


    At a critical moment, the mad lion **** of war should rush to the front line.


    However, this alone is not enough to decide the game. West Ham¡¯s defense is fierce and dense. Although the referee tried to control the game, he still could not suppress the aggressiveness of the two teams.


    Millwall takes the lead and West Ham United defends.


    In the process of seeking a counterattack, West Ham United encountered great trouble.


    Millwall still adopted a high-pressure press, the technical and tactical system has not changed, but the position of players on the field has changed, and it is a very crucial point.


    "Andy! Did you find Millwall''s player position strange today?"


    "Found it! Gattuso and Pirlo!"


    "Yeah, Pirlo''s position is further back. He looks like a pure lower back, and it''s a single lower back. What about Gattuso? But he ran to the position of the center midfielder behind the front waist!"


    "Yeah, this, this..."


    "Is it Gattuso''s first experience of the East London Derby, and I''m over-excited?"


    "I don''t think so. If he really loses his position, there will be a teammate around him to remind him, and now, Millwall plays very smoothly!"


    "Let''s continue to read it. If this is deliberately done by Hall, then it must have its purpose. In the end, how to arrange troops in such a way will affect the game!"


    Why is Luyinchang ever changing?


    Just like Milwall¡¯s formations today, 433 is still 433, and the people are still the same group of people. However, the position of Gattuso and Pirlo is reversed, and Gattuso is in front, Pirlo is in the back, and the whole The tactical system of the field has undergone earth-shaking changes, which in turn has made the game situation significantly change from the past.


    The biggest difference between the front waist area and the back waist area is that in the attack, the front waist area faces the opponent''s complete defense line and a limited sprint distance. The back waist area has less offensive pressure during the attack. The opponent is here The defense in the area is of a harassing nature, rather than the interception nature of the front waist area. The degree of fierceness and defense strength are very different.


    The traditional front waist is becoming more and more difficult to play in the front waist area, that is, the overall trend in football is to strengthen the defense of this area.


    Pirlo was able to win the third place in the Golden Globe this year, precisely because the judges realized the significance of Pirlo¡¯s front waist and back position on the epoch-making impact of football tactical change. It is no exaggeration to say that Pirlo under Aldrich, In the past, the style of the waist ball shined in the lower back organization, so that many excellent players with front waist technology but unable to survive in the traditional front waist position saw a bright future.


    In turn, more and more attention is paid to the defense in the lower back area, and the attacking side is restricted. Then when the defender turns to attack, he plays the speed and focuses on the area of ??the attack. It is also in the lower back area. High-pressure **** tactics, it can be said that because Millwall destroyed the raging oppressive offensive, the opponent had to withdraw the defense line and strengthen the protection in the front of the penalty area, and because the opponent can only rely on quick counterattacks, Millwall had to take high-pressure snatch, effectively Limiting the opponent''s counterattack. From beginning to end, Millwall is changing. They force the opponent to change, and then adapt themselves according to the change of the opponent. Therefore, Millwall''s power has shocked the football. They have been in contact with the times. Keeping pace, they have been leading the tactical trend, and in essence, they are the root cause of everything, fighting their own limits!


    In this game, Nedved''s spiritual leadership role is highlighted.


    He bravely fights again and again, confrontation, driving the morale of the whole team, infecting every teammate, making Millwall suppress the opponent in the spirit of away battle!


    They are faster, fiercer and more fearless!


    Aldrich knows very well that in order to suppress West Ham United in this game, he cannot simply rely on technical tactics. He must start from the spiritual level. Only by suppressing his opponents in the fighting spirit, can there be room for technical and tactical suppression.


    The hatred atmosphere evoked by this stadium will be the best source of mental stimulants. West Ham has a home advantage. It is not easy to suppress them. Without Nedved, Aldridge believes that this game will be very difficult. Other players are not as good as Nedved in driving the team¡¯s will to fight. The first is to run. The position of Nedved can be achieved by flying in the whole field, and the second is the consciousness of confrontation. These two points add up, In order to infect the whole team, in order to play the role of spiritual leader.


    After suppressing the opponent at the spiritual level, Millwall took the initiative in the game and began to use skills and tactics to restrain the opponent. West Ham United really suffered from this game today. Now in the team, the last time they experienced the East London Derby There are only three players and they haven''t seen them in four years. They didn''t expect that Millwall was so desperate.


    West Ham United can''t play any offensive, can only be exhausted on the defensive line!


    why?


    It wasn¡¯t Millwall who had been passing the ball backwards, but Millwall¡¯s offense, even if they were successfully defended by West Ham United, they wanted to launch a counter-attack on the spot, but Millwall madly counter-robbed frequently.


    Ronaldinho, Larsson counterattacked on the wing, Nedvide and Gattuso counterattacked in the midfield, they walked the sideline, as long as the pass is given in advance, Schneider and Zambrotta must defend one-on-one Success, take the middle road, it is definitely to find a dead end.


    Nedved is on the front line. Gattuso has excellent physical performance and large sweeping area behind Nedved. West Ham¡¯s passing organization has no more than three feet to counterattack and rush into the frontcourt. At the same time, Materazzi and Southgate will never let them pass easily. Even if they pass the defender, their forward will not get the ball and will be firmly in the arms of Butt.


    Twenty-five minutes, Millwall did not score, but the ball control rate exceeded 70%!


    After watching these 25-minute matches, Martin Taylor and Andy Gray exclaimed in unison in the commentary: "Gattuso, front waist!"

 Chapter 713： Look up

    Since Nedved still has a forward task in the offense, when some of the **** can''t be passed in front of him smoothly, when he is blocked behind him, his defense is to run back and chase back.


    So today¡¯s live fans and the audience in front of the TV saw a scene frequently.


    Gattuso succeeded in intercepting the opponent repeatedly in the midfield, and then passed the ball back to Pirlo or Ronaldinho on the left. Millwall¡¯s attack was not always successful. The shot that formed the last blow, but quickly recovered the ball after turning from attack to defense, and organized the attack again, just like a wave of endless waves, the offensive was like a wave, constantly oppressing West Ham United The team''s defense made the fans of the home team startled. The more they watched the game, the more depressed their mood was, and so did the players on the field. Their nerves were tight all the time and they didn''t dare to relax for a second.


    "Hall put Gattuso in the center-forward position today, in order to exert the extreme power of high-pressure forced tactics!"


    "Yeah, although Gattuso''s position was also premised when attacking, he still has a Pirlo in front of him. When Pirlo is broken or unable to form an interception, he will play an interception role, and the opponent will have a slight vertical The fleeting transfer offensive space, arranged today, is to maximize the oppression and anti-robbing defense. Nedved and Gattuso, the two ensure that West Ham¡¯s offensive cannot be launched from the middle, and must take the wing. However, it is easy to take the offense into a dead end because the wing players can''t break through one by one. If they wait for the middle to respond, the speed will slow down and they will fall into Millwall''s anti-robbing. The most important thing is that West Ham United Perhaps the success rate of passing to the wing will not be too high. Today, many pass errors are that the wing players have not yet run into place, the midfielders have to play the ball, and the result is a mistake."


    "Not just defense, but one more thing, reshaping the game! When Millwall owned Makelele, we said that Makelele is a defensive master who can reshape the pace of the game, whether the opponent is fast or slow , How much offensive force is invested, as long as he is successfully defended, the game rhythm will be reshaped. After the successful decision of Makelele¡¯s goal, the game rhythm will quickly enter Millwall¡¯s rhythm. Today, Gattuso Although he has no such ability, he passed the ball to a more free and completely unmarked Pirlo after successful defense. The pace of the game, just the look and feel, gives people a sense of reintegration into Millwall."


    "Yeah, why is this? Before Gattuso defended successfully, he would also pass the ball to Pirlo."


    "Position and area. In the lower back area, the opponent has already been pushed up. Even after Pirlo scored the ball, he had to get rid of the counterattack of the opponent''s offensive player. Today¡¯s situation is very different. West Ham¡¯s offense has not been overwhelmed. No one is around Pirlo. West Ham¡¯s single forward is standing next to Materazzi looking for opportunities to counter offside. It is far from Pirlo. After Gattuso returned the ball to Pirlo, Pirlo could play with ease, and under such circumstances, Millwall''s offense was more threatening, and Pirlo''s ability to see opportunities was fully reflected, voila, he There was a long-range, precise threat from the ball. Larson just got rid of the defense and Pirlo passed the ball. It was the weakest part of West Ham''s defense at the moment."


    "Unfortunately, Larson tried to break through and was assisted by a second defensive player to break the ball and broke the bottom line. Millwall won the corner. Andy, Hall opened our eyes again today, and Pirlo was front and back. , Gattuso''s lower back, the subversive arrangements of the two major roles appear at the same time, if West Ham United is more famous, maybe this will become another classic game in football, just less than 30 minutes In the game, we can clearly see the tactical purpose of such a formation."


    Glenn Rodel looked at the situation on the court, and the coach''s pressure itself was great, and the situation on the court made him feel suffocated.


    Millwall could not dazzle the offensive before West Ham¡¯s intensive defense because of lack of offensive space, but Millwall¡¯s offensive opportunities always existed, which originated from their anti-robbing like a meat grinder, West Ham The United team can''t control the ball, Millwall has been attacking, attacking, attacking!


    Rodel had no intention to think about Pirlo''s front and back, and Gattuso''s front and back. He was just thinking about how to solve this dilemma.


    Thinking about it, he couldn''t find a safe way. To put it bluntly, the player''s strength gap is too large. One-on-one can''t prevent it. It needs to be compensated by the advantage of the number. Now it is the limit. It is not easy to say that it is an attack. First, the defense may expose obvious flaws.


    After 30 minutes of the game, Aldridge is still impatient and the atmosphere in the stands cannot affect his mood.


    Millwall''s advantage is obvious, and it has a greater advantage than other dense defense teams in the past!


    On the road of continuous victory, Millwall is also constantly improving his ability. The strength of this main lineup no longer has the potential to tap potentials. Don¡¯t look at Henry at the age of 24, but he is now at the peak. Ronaldinho is 21 years old, and the same is true. The peak of South American players comes early. This is inertia. Just like the most aliens are not the 02 years, but the aliens in Barcelona that year.


    But there is no room for improvement for these players? Have!


    However, he has to rely on more competitions and continue to accumulate experience. Just like Larson, Larson''s physical state can no longer be compared with that of about 27 years old. At that time, he was as fast as lightning, and no one could walk away. Block, but his performance has not declined significantly since then, why? Because he is getting older and demon playing football now! With the experience accumulated in the top game, he handled the ball very reasonably, less of his former edge, more than a silent thunder blow!


    The convenience that can be improved depends on the head coach. Through reasonable and correct use, the player can play a greater role.


    Aldrich''s basic job this season is a lot easier, but he spends more time thinking.


    Although some energy was dispersed by the England national team, it cannot be said that it was a bad thing for the club.


    At least in the process of the tactical change in front of Gattuso, the source of ideas is the England national team.


    Obviously, the England national team is an engineering player and the mainstream. In order to meet next year¡¯s World Cup, Aldridge inevitably needs to prepare an additional set of tactics. It is to keep a backhand move on the basis of mature 4321 and think about it. , Aldridge thought of this change in the front of the lower back.


    Compared with the influence of the front waist and back, the front waist obviously does not become the mainstream in the future and has a huge tactical change, but it also has a certain influence.


    For example, Perota, in the roman wolves tactics, the midfielder''s sweep of the midfielder is extremely important, as well as the double Germany in England. In the process of constantly changing positions, Gerald has been in the original history. Once boasted by Fleet Street as the world¡¯s No. 1 midfielder, under Benitez¡¯s push of Gerald to the front midfield position, it played a huge role. Strictly speaking, this is not a front midfielder. But it has a similar tactical effect.


    Successful tactics are not universal, and other teams cannot replicate Millwall''s 433 because of different personnel composition and different tactical use environments.


    In the face of too many opponents, Millwall is a bus, and he needs to break the intensive defense. Well, Millwall''s high-pressure forced tactics derived from this have not exerted the ultimate power before. The biggest weakness is Pirlo. Even if Pirlo is actively anti-robbing, but more often rely on Gattuso to make up for the leak.


    In this case, Aldridge simply pushed Gattuso up, allowing Gattuso to connect with Nedved, sweeping the anti-robbing interception ability far beyond the connection of Pirlogan Nedved, so that, also Pirlo was completely liberated. At least in this kind of intensively defensive game environment, Pirlo could almost not participate in the defense and fully invested in the offense.


    However, if he encounters a first-class strong team, Odric really dare not arrange such a formation, because the first-class strong team''s counterattack threat is too strong, allowing the opponent to pass through the midfield and come to the midfield area, Pirlo is missing Gato. The protection of the cable is really useless.


    Only when the team is playing first-class under intensive defense can this arrangement be used to exert more power. Playing a first-class or stronger team, such a line-up of troops is equivalent to exposing one''s goal to the opponent.


    This is also the charm of football. There is absolutely no set of technical and tactical play that can sweep all opponents, and some tactics are particularly good at playing strong teams. Instead, they can¡¯t play weak teams. Some fight weak teams and destroy strong teams. He touched his nose gray.


    West Ham United was crushed to no avail today, and the team was very depressed in the game. After 35 minutes, the counterattack did not rely on an effective ground organization. Instead, they used big feet to make a siege and only win time for teammates. Take a breath and readjust the line of defense.


    In this way, Millwall played more easily, because they do not have to go through the anti-robbing ring and re-enter the offensive to find opportunities.


    West Ham United thought they were winning time for themselves, but unexpectedly, Millwall did not need to invest in a large-scale anti-robbery. After two attacks and three attacks, he played more threatening.


    In the 39th minute, Materazze headed the ball to Pirlo. Pirlo took the ball and turned it around. The precision long pass found Nedved, who returned to the ball, and the latter knocked the ball to Ronaldinho.


    Ronaldinho played very well in today''s game, because the opponent''s restrictions on him are in place, that is, to compress the space, not to give him space to play, and not to grab in the static, just wait for Ronaldinho to move, and wait for him to move, one after another interception will be Suddenly.


    Ronaldinho is more depressed, he is good at getting rid of the spot, as long as he takes the ball and the opponent grabs it, he can get rid of one just by starting it, and then if someone else grabs during the acceleration process, he can pass Drop the second one, even if there is a third one, it doesn¡¯t matter, because he has partially opened the gap, his teammates must be able to seize the opponent¡¯s space, he then transfers or cooperates, and the offensive space comes out invisibly. .


    Today, West Ham¡¯s defensive approach is like Pirlo and Gattuso. Ronaldinho only needs to start with the ball, according to his starting direction, intercept one in front, ambush two in the back, he passes the first After that, the second one will immediately come up to intercept according to his rhythm, the ball and the person can only pass one!


    This time, Ronaldinho stood still and straightened his waist. When the opponent was surprised, he kicked the ball to the front of the side, Zambrotta rushed up, and did not go down. in.


    This sudden cross made the West Ham United''s defense unprepared, because it was a 45-degree cross, and the landing point was not in front of the door, but in the back point, close to the bottom line.


    Larsson could have scored a header, but Zambrotta passed the ball a little deeper. If he forced the header, the angle was too small, so he became a header.


    The ball passed deep in the cross, Larson''s header flew in front of the goalkeeper, and went to the back point on the other side of the goal.


    Henry jumped in the middle, he obviously couldn''t touch the ball, turned his head and looked, his heart was set!


    God of War, Nedved killed!


    Sprinting forward is like a lion rushing forward, heading the relay and pushing the ball into the goal!


    After scoring the goal, Nedved stood up from the ground, and the blonde **** of war looked coldly and raised his chin around the stadium.


    At this moment, he seemed to be looked up to by all!

 Chapter 714： Ping pong

    "Nedved, the iconic figure of the mad lion opened the record in the East London Derby, what better than this scenario? West Ham finally failed to withstand Millwall''s offensive pressure, once, twice, Three times, four times, their nerves were not relaxed, they were tight all the time, there was no room for breathing, and once they were not adjusted properly, Millwall seized the opportunity!"


    "This is the Hall''s tactical intention of taking a midfielder forward in this game to make Gattuso top, constantly oppressing the opponent''s nerves. This time the offensive routine is not much like the many previous Millwall attacks. The difference, to put it simply, is that West Ham finally couldn¡¯t keep up with the rhythm. In a game that made them feel depressed, they failed to hold on until the end of the first half to slow down, and the uproar at Upton Park Stadium was also After calming down a bit, we can see the ecstatic lion fans occupying the place like a winner."


    Nedved greeted his teammates to his side. He hooked the necks of Larson and Henry from left to right and said to Ronaldinho who came over to celebrate him: "Look, this is the East London Derby, we scored the ball The goal of West Ham United, the excitement and satisfaction of the fans, surpassed all honors."


    Crazy lion players get together and look towards the stands, although when they attacked before, the Hammer fans would disturb them with boos or noise, and there were continuous fans scolding in the stands, not just Spit words and curse, but instead sing with the arranged songs. After all, this disorderly and chaotic atmosphere of the grandstand can''t leave the game.


    At the moment when Millwall scored his goal, Hammer helped the fans stand by with cold eyes, and everyone seemed to be poured cold water in front of them.


    The crazy lion fans were so excited that a lot of fans wanted to flood into the stadium. At the corner of the stands, they clearly saw the security guards going to support and block the edges of the stands to prevent fans from rushing into the stadium.


    After celebrating the applause and roaring, many crazy lion fans even more brazenly yelled at the enemy fans.


    It is undeniable that their love for the crazy lion is from the heart. Looking at the team''s prosperity and continued glory, they will have a sense of honor and pride, but this is very different from the mood of the East London Derby.


    Breaking through the gates of a dead enemy on the court of a dead enemy is more like a heartfelt catharsis.


    It seems that all the dissatisfaction in life is vented to the dead enemy. Looking at the other party''s silence, suffocation, unwillingness, and loss, the happier the fans are, the more the loved ones hurt the enemy!


    Sorry, there is hatred between us, so fans of crazy lions can enjoy themselves at this time.


    Ronaldinho and others carefully observed the fans in the stands, and found that they were more excited and wilder than they usually celebrated. It was a complete feeling of how exciting the East London Derby was to the fans.


    As he walked back to halftime, Ronaldinho smiled at Nedved: "I also want to score."


    The opponent is indeed not strong, but scoring goals on this occasion will become the most shining hero in the hearts of fans, Ronaldinho of course will have the ambition to show such limelight.


    Nedved laughed around his neck: "You will definitely score in such a game, you are still young, I really envy you."


    This sentence, Nedved came from the heart.


    Although he was also a young man when he came to Millwall, he regretted that he was not like Pirlo or Ronaldinho after all. He came to Millwall when he was under 16, and now he is 30 in six months.


    At the age of 30, the player must be close to the countdown age. Nedved has too many heartfelt hearts. The Czech national team due to independence, during this period, the competition to participate in the World Cup was too fierce. It has been declared that it will not be able to participate next year. In the World Cup, he is almost the same as Larson. The moment of the highest light in his career must be on the stage of the club. Millwall gave him too much, and he wanted to return more to the club. I only hope this body can Let him run for a few more years wearing a crazy lion jersey and try his best to contribute everything to the club.


    "Hahaha, I haven''t seen Hall so excited on the sidelines for a long time. He is more excited than Nedved."


    Aldridge celebrated with his arms on the sidelines. The whole person jumped three times on the spot. For him, West Ham United was not strong. Subconsciously, he did not inherit the hatred of fans in the East London Derby, but he just sent it from Feeling excited inside.


    This feeling is unparalleled.


    Without him, he can please fans.


    Just like the original charity function of a football club, it is to serve the fans supported by the community.


    Aldridge does not have the broad minds of the world, but can make more than one hundred thousand Millwall local fans in this three-point acre of East London happy, even more than winning the Champions League, he believes that he has completed the master well The mission of the role of coach and boss.


    It can make more than one hundred thousand people happy, he has no reason not to be excited, there is no reason to face all this calmly.


    This achievement without a trophy will make Odrich feel happy inside himself.


    He served the fans and pleased the fans, not only worthy of conscience, but also proud of him, just like he always said to the players: Now work harder, and strive to make the career more brilliant. In the future, these stories can be told For future generations, you can remember.


    Aldrich himself is also creating wonderful memories of his future years. He does not need to be remembered, but he has to remember some profound life course.


    Glenn Rodell''s face was blue, and the first half was about to end. West Ham''s conceding time was too bad!


    Millwall is not only the anti-guest on the court, but even the atmosphere of the stadium is hard to say.


    West Ham United lost the ball, the game situation is even worse, because they have to invest in the offensive force to equalize the score, in their home, under the watch of tens of thousands of home team fans, do not try to equalize the score?


    After the kick-off, West Ham''s aggressive attack ended with Southgate''s precise interception.


    Turning around, Millwall hit a lightning fast break, starting from Southgate''s feet, the ball continued to move forward in the triangle pass.


    Southgate, Schneider, Pirlo, the first triangle pass is completed, the ball came to the rear of the middle circle.


    Pirlo, Nedvide, Zambrotta quickly put on, the second triangle pass was completed, the offensive advanced to the front line of West Ham United, Zambrotta assisted as a winger!


    Zambrotta, Ronaldinho, Larson, the last triangle pass is completed!


    Ronaldinho came out with an ecstasy straight, obliquely like a knife, tearing open the defense line of West Ham United, Larson cut into the penalty area on the right, already a single-shot trend, facing the goalkeeper Larsson didn''t greedy for the merits and passed the ball horizontally, Henry sent the ball into the empty goal in front of the goal.


    Millwall played a classic counterattack again, destroying and withering away, and God blocked the kill!


    The Hammer helped the fans suddenly fall into the ice cellar.


    From an athletic perspective, Millwall''s power is unstoppable.


    The king is the king. After a little resistance, he is hit hard by the thunder!


    "Henry is still scoring! Mr. Golden Ball is still refreshing the number of goals of the year! The goal of Millwall is easy, but the tactical quality shown is world-class!"


    "Yes, this kind of lightning is like a quick counterattack of thousands of beasts, not only Millwall''s housekeeping skills, but also they are interpreted to the extreme. They will see that during the replay of the entire offensive process, they did not return once, parallel Diverting the offense to attract the opponent¡¯s defensive attention or tearing the defense line, Southgate to Schneider, this is in the rear right, after Pirlo here and then forward, to the left of Zambrotta in the blink of an eye, and the offense has been Promoted to the dangerous zone, Ronaldinho made another transfer, and finally returned to Larson on the right. West Ham United, which was swaying as the defense retreated, was completely destroyed. Larson was selfless. Give Henry the chance to score, showing how united this team is!"


    After scoring a goal, Henry went to hug Larson and knelt down to make a shoe shine for Larson.


    The fans of the crazy lion were very excited, and the singing of Yaowuyangwei resounded from Upton Park.


    While Millwall players were still celebrating, a West Ham United defender suddenly walked to the sidelines. He bent down and seemed to be vomiting. The team doctor hurried over to ask the situation.


    "Poor boy, he was probably dizzy by Millwall''s offensive transfer and his body was unwell."


    "He was watching Ronaldinho, and it was normal to be dizzy and turned in the first half. During the rapid retreat, Ronaldinho passed it again. It seems that his body has reached the limit and needs a rest. The time slows down, just right, the first half is almost over."


    The poor West Ham player made fans of the Lions even happier.


    Aldridge saw the team play a table tennis ball and scored two goals in two minutes. He looked around the stadium, and the atmosphere of the stadium was completely under the control of the fans.


    Think about it too. Although West Ham United is fighting at home, it has no advantage in the scene. It has been scored two goals in a row. It is not just players on the field but also fans in the stands.


    The fans of West Ham have a characteristic, that is, they like to be lively, and they are regarded as a wonderful flower among mainstream fans.


    They like West Ham United for one reason.


    West Ham United can beat the strong teams in a shocking way. They wave their flags for West Ham United. West Ham United will also drop the chain and lose to their opponents who are not as good as they are, and they will curse the team as much as they want.


    In other words, they came to Upton Park Stadium and always vented.


    But the background of today''s game made them silent and could not speak out. If they scolded their team in front of the fans, they would be too embarrassed.


    With the episode of West Ham United players gagging on the sidelines, West Ham United temporarily played one less person and did not attack after the kick-off again in a short period of time. The last time of the first half was consumed and the two sides entered the player channel .


    Aldridge turned around and walked towards the player¡¯s tunnel. The security guard was already waiting for him to prepare for his umbrella. The lion fans in the stands behind him enthusiastically applauded him and the players. The hammer on the other side helped the fans except I was too lazy to scream and scold, and the rain of coins was naturally relieved.


    Aldridge headed into the player''s channel with a straight chest. Rodel followed, and Rodell''s expression was a little numb, looking at Aldridge''s back in front, feeling weak and leading West Ham United to play for half a season. It¡¯s not the first time that he hasn¡¯t played against a strong team, but he has encountered an opponent who can even fight back.


    Hopefully, it will be the last time!

 Chapter 715： Constant derby

    Rarely, even if Millwall leads by two goals in the first half, the team''s momentum is still extremely high, and the fighting spirit is not reduced!


    In order to play against other relegation teams, Millwall is afraid that the players will be a little excited during the halftime break. As long as they continue to play excellent tactical discipline in the second half, then the game will be stable.


    I just played West Ham United today. This East London Derby reignited the battle four years later. The atmosphere of the stadium and the reaction of the fans directly affected the players. Every player understands the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction brought by shining in this game. The feeling is very different, more or less similar to Aldridge''s mentality, give back to the fans, fight for the fans, make the fans proud!


    Aldridge did not make any tactical adjustments during the halftime break. Instead, he mobilized the player''s fighting spirit with passion.


    "Did you feel the hostility of West Ham from players to fans?"


    "Does it feel good to step on them?"


    "See how our fans reacted?"


    "It''s an endless battle, but we have to win, there is no moment to close, no! We are going to return to the south of the Thames by stepping on the body of West Ham United!"


    ...


    At the end of the halftime, when Aldridge reappeared on the sidelines, Roder was already sitting on the coach''s bench, binocular, seemingly helpless to the game.


    Aldridge looked at him and ignored it. It wasn¡¯t that he was bullying and weak. Milwall had encountered top strong teams when he was weak, even if there were neutral fans who said sourly before the game: Let Hall and Rodel swap positions. To see if Hall will warn opponents in a high profile before the game!


    Yes, there is now a voice that seems to be sympathetic to the weak, and thinks that those who lose to Aldridge are nothing. If Aldridge can switch positions with his opponent, he may lose even worse!


    Aldridge has no interest in such remarks.


    Regardless of whether they can swap positions, first of all, there must be a team stronger than Millwall.


    He trained a king''s teacher, and then he coached a weak team to challenge this king''s teacher?


    Is Aldridge sick?


    Moreover, Millwall, the master of the king, is the first team player plus the coaching staff to win the championship. Without Odrich, Millwall is still strong, but it will not be so strong that the opponents are frightened. At this point, there must be great doubt.


    In the past, Aldridge also doubted himself. He felt that Millwall had him or not. Perhaps this group of first-class plus super-first teams combined perfectly can reach such a height in itself.


    But since coaching the England national team, he gradually got rid of this self-doubt.


    It can be regarded as a transformation of the inner self.


    Manchester United has no Ferguson, this generation of Red Devils will definitely be unrecognizable. Arsenal has no Wenger, and delicate and gorgeous technical football will also be greatly reduced. This is undoubtedly.


    After Millwall''s second-generation mad lion came to the top, Aldridge''s self-confidence was not only given to him by the player''s team, but he himself was full of strong self-confidence, so his majesty also reached its peak.


    This is a change from the inside out.


    Really strong temperament!


    In the second half, West Ham United played chaotically. Millwall still relied on high-pressure forced tactics to limit his opponents. Wave after wave of attacks destroyed West Ham''s defense.


    The hammer in the stands helped the fans to watch.


    They could not understand that Millwall''s ability to control the game has reached such a terrible level!


    "Gattuso''s position today is absolutely a miraculous move by Millwall to control the game! Suppression of the lower back and front of the back, will this become a mainstream? If so, Hall, It can be said that the founder of this tactical flow will become a historic figure in the transformation of football tactics, just like Chapman of Arsenal."


    "I don''t think this can be seen alone, because without Pirlo''s front waist and back, Gattuso''s back waist alone will not have such a huge impact on the game. Imagine that other teams simply put the back waist Pushing forward, even if the interception succeeds, the opponent is oppressed, but what about the offense? Who is responsible for the organization of the offense? The key is to cooperate, Hall¡¯s move is combined with the front and back of the waist. To have such immense power!"


    "Well, what you said makes sense. Pirlo is completely like an independent commander today, strategizing in the midfield and backcourt, with Gattuso in front, Nedvide helps him resist the enemy''s attack, he maximizes Use your talents."


    It can be said that Millwall played their defensive cooperation to the extreme on the basis of offense.


    The former type of defensive position cutting opponent''s offensive formation is just the basis. After the addition of anti-robbing, there was a high-level three-line close snatch. Today, with the premise of Gattuso, they have completely changed the field.


    The formation of West Ham United was divided into two. The main force of West Ham United was defending, so they were dragged in the second half. Gattuso and Nedved were mainly in the middle, like the shield wall, blocking them In the second half.


    The rest of the battlefield is at Millwall''s defender line. The opponent takes the sideline or directly finds the striker. Then the battlefield is in the area of ??Millwall''s defender line. In the back waist area of ??Pirlo, it is a vacuum zone!


    As a result, Pirlo can unscrupulously display the talents transmitted by his organization.


    Because the opponent''s success rate on the sidelines or big feet to find the striker is very low, the game fell into the control of Millwall.


    In the second half, Millwall once approached 75% of the ball!


    West Ham United was ravaged to collapse.


    With a halftime break, they were able to persist for a while in the second half.


    But this persistence came to an end in the 67th minute.


    Probably Pirlo has been passing the organization. West Ham players are numb. In the 66th minute, Pirlo suddenly chose to take the ball up. Under the cover of Gattuso, it was unimpeded. After halftime, it was just He made a two-by-one with Gattuso and came to the front of the penalty area. Then he hit a long-range shot and the angle was extremely tricky. The goalkeeper did not respond. He only heard a bang and the ball actually hit the left post. on!


    The players and fans of West Ham United thought it would not die, but in the next second, Nedvide who followed up shot the ball. This time, the goalkeeper made a save but could not stop the ball from flying into the goal.


    Seeing the goal, Nedved immediately ran along the sidelines and roared wildly while running!


    Away from the stands where the fans of the visiting team set off, every fan wearing a Millwall jersey has bright eyes, with a beam of joy and excitement.


    "The game can be announced that there is no suspense anymore. Millwall led by 3 goals away. Nedved scored twice and became a hero in the hearts of fans. He has always been, but on such occasions today, his outstanding performance is even more To inspire the fans, he symbolizes the spirit of mad lion, firm and tenacious, never give up, and the courage to face all challenges!"


    Aldrich raised his arms on the sidelines. On the road, he actually encouraged the fans. This made the fans of the Lions more enthusiastic, and the endless cheers haunted the stadium.


    Rodel lowered his head on the coach seat, played against Millwall, and played against Aldridge. It was a nightmare!


    He obviously does not have the big heart of a top-notch handsome, the game is not over, he even has the idea of ??escaping from here.


    Losing the East London Derby is not unexpected before the game.


    But in a homeless way to lose at home, regardless of confrontation or technical tactics, West Ham lost, not only the game!


    From start to finish, their formation was hardly overwhelming, and Millwall''s oppression offensive was also at its peak in this game.


    Of course, this is a game of a non-first-class team, but it can''t beat the opponent''s effective offense in the first half of the game. In Europe, only Millwall has done this!


    In the first half, West Ham United players were stunned. The third goal was lost in the second half, and West Ham United completely collapsed!


    The action on the court became rough, obviously after losing his calm after being angry.


    When Henry was laid down for the second time, Aldridge almost rushed into the court towards the referee theory.


    "Why not give a red card? Why not give a red card? Then **** is a red card action!"


    In fact, Aldridge was a little too aggressive. The foul on Henry was actually two yellow card moves, but the referee only gave a yellow card.


    He was calmed down by the fourth official, even though the home team fans booed him, Rodel never dared to come to theory with him.


    Aldridge just put pressure on the referee. He did this six years ago and he will definitely be sent off by the referee. Today, the referee ran over to communicate with him, calming him down and calming him.


    And just three minutes later, West Ham United fouled again, and the assisted Schneider was knocked down by the opponent''s two-footed tackle. Schneider had self-protection action, so he took the initiative to fall off the sidelines, never diving!


    The premise of diving is the opponent''s movement norms, not foul behavior.


    When a West Ham United player comes with a tackle that lifts his feet off the ground, even if the player really uses a diving action, that is definitely self-protection. This should not be confused.


    The referee sent the West Ham United player a red card and sent off the game.


    All Hammer fans believe that the referee was influenced by Aldridge and made a penalty in favor of Millwall.


    Rodel protested to the fourth official, but was blocked by the fourth official''s expressionless arm...


    In the last 10 minutes of the game, Millwall relied on the advantage of the number and the collapse of West Ham United, even two cities!


    Gattuso scored a goal in the penalty zone and Larson also scored a goal.


    Four years later, the East London Derby reignited the war, and Millwall bloodbathed West Ham United at 5:0 away.


    The Iron Hammer fans were extremely angry about the team''s big score being slaughtered. When the Lions fans retired, they were both happy and gloating over the dead enemy.


    Fans from both sides almost hit the stands, but fortunately, half of the city''s police force was dispatched to stop the violence on the stadium.


    But outside the stadium, there were a large group of fans who were unable to accept the result to protest against the club. At the same time, the fans of the two teams caused riots on the street. During the chaos, many shops in the surrounding streets were attacked. At dusk, the riot police Out of action, the two streets around Upton Park Stadium are already in disarray...

 Chapter 716： Witness the legend

    After the game, the chaos outside the stadium kicked off, Aldridge was prepared, knowing that this game will not be calm after the game, especially after the results appear.


    There are always winners or losers in the game. Even if it is a draw, it is considered a victory for West Ham United. Therefore, the loser will be unwilling, and the winner will laugh at the loser, which will lead to conflict.


    There will be security restrictions on the court. Although there are policemen outside the court, it is impossible for the policemen to follow everyone and hate each other for hundreds of years. The conflict is inevitable. In another hundred years, as long as the club is still there , Such things will still happen.


    Aldridge attended the post-match press conference, and the reporters had many questions waiting for him.


    Asking him about his victory is a clich¨¦.


    Asking him to comment on the game was dull.


    The game is clear at a glance, the winner is strong, and the winner wins.


    But there are still many media reporters who are anxious to interview Aldridge.


    Giancarlo, a senior reporter in the Premier League of Milan Sports News, is one of them.


    "Mr. Hall, Millwall played an eye-opening game today. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s appropriate to describe it. Italy¡¯s chain defense is launched in the midfield and backcourt, with the purpose of stifling the opponent¡¯s offensive threat. , Millwall used a similar but more extreme method today, which completely killed the opponent¡¯s offensive organization in the midfield and formed a continuous oppressive attack. Does this mean that Millwall has studied a A new, epoch-making defense strategy?"


    Giancarlo was shocked after watching the game.


    Originally, the "Milan Sports News" reporter in the Premier League was not him, but when Millwall emerged a few years ago, he focused on the team''s skills and tactics. Then he recommended himself to England to follow up on the Premier League for a long time. The focus is on Study Millwall.


    In his view, the root of Millwall¡¯s rise in the Premier League is not how powerful and magnificent the offense is. Simply speaking, the offense, the world¡¯s giants, but if you can build a first-class attack group, 50% can Attacking the mercury out of the field, but the record is stable or higher, still rely on defense, which is also the philosophy of Italian football, defense is paramount, because defense is more critical to victory.


    Neither Manchester United nor Arsenal has reached the height of Millwall defensively. In the course of the championship in the past few years, Giancarlo has published a special article detailing the other championship teams losing in the end. Where, he thinks that Manchester United ranked second in a row, it is not that the offensive firepower is not strong enough, maybe the data shows that Millwall has more goals than they, but at the crucial moment, it is the defense that plays a role.


    Maybe Millwall won his opponent by a 6:0, which means that he scored 6 goals and a goal difference, and if Manchester United lost a 0:1, the number of goals and goal difference, the gap is very big, but the points list It is only a 3-point gap. If the goal difference is to compete, the most important thing is that the number of wins and losses plays a key role.


    He believes that Manchester United lost some unexpected games, and Millwall is more stable, and it is very rare to lose because of the quality of defense. Sometimes the game where Manchester United is hit, it seems that the player has a personal problem, but Millwall Are the players 100% stable? No, this is the head coach''s contribution to the defensive strategy, improve the fault tolerance rate, and make the defense more stable.


    In this, Giancarlo believes that the core character is Southgate. Southgate, who has followed Aldridge for more than seven years, has its own weaknesses, but he will show his strengths and his role in defense cannot be ignored. It can be said that there is no substitute for Millwall''s substitute lineup. It is not a gap in ability, but a defensive task, and the difference in this role.


    As a result, when Millwall''s defense continued to expose hidden dangers, it must be that when Southgate was absent due to injury, without him, the team''s overall defensive strategy could not effectively run, with a lead. The effect of moving the whole body.


    Millwall''s original overall defensive strategy is the shadow of Italian chain defense. Due to different league characteristics, Audridge did not copy it, which was not realistic, so it was improved, and Giancarlo naturally discovered this. , Southgate is more like a dragging back defender, not only to complete the defensive task, but also the task of stabilizing the ball, which allows Millwall to ensure that the ball will not be easily lost when he is turned from defense to offense.


    But today''s game, Giancarlo was shocked by the subversive impact.


    High-level snatching is a tactical change that Millwall had to do because the opponent was on the dead. If the high-level snatching was not carried out, when the opponent switched from the defending, the forward impact space was too large, and the overall formation was withdrawn to take the position. Defensively, it is easy to be penetrated while the opponent is constantly advancing.


    Today, Millwall played the high-level **** tactics to the extreme. The chain defense is in his own half. The core role is two points. One is to ensure the defense, and the other is to let the opponent attack up to create a successful defense. The offensive space, so the Italian team, using chain defense, counterattack will not invest too much force, there are so two or three players with good level, can cooperate together, and then attack the city in a counterattack.


    In Millwall''s defense today, the defensive zone is in the midfield and not the final attack of the opponent, but the source of the opponent''s attack.


    The offense is roughly divided into two stages, the first is organization, and the second is the key breakthrough.


    The chain defense is the second phase, Millwall''s high position is forced, but the first phase is the containment. This is definitely more difficult and risky than the chain defense.


    Giancarlo''s problems made the press conference quiet. All reporters were curious, and some reporters who had a ball comment column were very excited.


    They have just witnessed a classic game that is enough to bring countless replays, because this is a technical and tactical confrontation that has been firmly implemented in 90 minutes and has produced a shocking eyeball effect.


    Millwall completely repressed West Ham United, this repression reached its peak.


    "I think it''s hard to be persuasive to talk about technical tactics simply, because the influencing factors of a game are complicated, but to say that Millwall''s tactics are successful, there is no need to argue, scores, technical statistics, scenes are very strong. Persuasive. But I still want to point out that at this time we have to calm down. Millwall only defeated the Premier League relegation team. The defensive tactics adopted today have certain limitations, which are far less widely applicable than the Italian chain defense. I can¡¯t compare my tactics with chain defense, and I don¡¯t need to argue about this.¡±


    Aldridge talked eloquently without being dazed by victory.


    Giancarlo nodded thoughtfully after a moment.


    Indeed, as Aldridge said, Millwall¡¯s defensive tactics have great limitations. They should be determined according to opponents, the game environment, and their own player configuration. However, the broad applicability of Italian chain defense is stronger. After all, it''s still the old topic: space.


    The Italian chain defense uses its own half as the main defensive zone, and itself uses the limited offensive space as the core of defense. Such defensive tactics can be used by strong teams, and strong teams can make their opponents less powerful than their own. It is difficult to penetrate the defense line, and the weak team can also use it, creating an offensive space, and fighting back.


    And Millwall''s defensive tactics, first of all, the weak team can not be used, can not afford it! Secondly, if the strong team does not have a good tacit understanding, and suitable players, such as Nedved''s defensive ability, how many giants can configure such a player in the front waistline? Then, they will not reach the goal of high defensive tactics, and the latter will be impossible to talk about.


    Giancarlo admired Aldridge¡¯s calmness at this time and was able to point out the advantages and disadvantages of tactics himself. He heartily sighed: "In any case, Mr. Hall, you told many teams with actual combat today, what kind of ideas can be used to In the face of intensive defense, you have also opened a new door in football tactics. At this point, you are amazing."


    The limitations are limited, but not only Millwall can use it, other teams will definitely not be able to use it, especially the rich team, the players are strong, all kinds of role players are everything, if you are troubled how to break the intensive defense, Milwaukee today Er provides a good idea. This is Aldrich''s credit and his personal achievements. If it can be carried forward, it will be recorded in the history forever.


    "Thank you."


    After receiving praise from others, Aldridge smiled and thanked him.


    David Miller raised his hand for the second time to ask. Like Giancarlo, he didn¡¯t care much about the outcome of the game. Millwall won the opponent. This is not news, but what way to win, then It is an aspect that focuses on observation and research.


    "Pirlo became the single midfielder, Gattuso became the midfielder, and Gattuso himself is a pure defensive midfielder. He pushed him forward and reached the tactical intention of the front midfielder, making the midfield and frontcourt anti-rob Closer and more aggressive, Millwall can dominate the game. In addition to the efficient counter-robbing, Pirlo organizes the offensive steadily in the rear. In Millwall¡¯s technical and tactical system, does this mean that Millwall¡¯s technical and tactical strength in today¡¯s game has pushed the team¡¯s overall strength to the limit again?¡±


    The strong power of the Millwall champions is a bit vague, that is, they are very strong, and no one can beat them, even if it is, it is traditionally upset.


    So does Millwall have room for improvement?


    They are already the first place, who will go above and beyond?


    But this game made David Miller realize that Millwall has completed his own breakthrough again!


    And this breakthrough is very concrete and visual.


    In the past, it was a kind of intensive defense. It seemed like a matter of course or to look at luck. Perhaps the 90-minute mad attack was slightly unlucky, and the opponent got a draw.


    Today, with no luck, Millwall¡¯s overwhelming advantage will destroy his opponent. The most important point is that David Miller found that Millwall¡¯s defensive strategy today has great flexibility.


    Front waist back, front waist back, Pirlo and Gattuso, the position of the two players in the midfield can be flexibly switched to deal with different game situations, which means that Millwall''s technical and tactical system has once again made a breakthrough, flexible In addition to change, the choice is more abundant.


    The winning team does not change, the tactical system that has proved to be successful, and a change in a key position may cause a series of incalculable and disastrous consequences.


    Because of this, before Aldridge would not move the positions of Pirlo and Gattuso, Gattuso escorted Pirlo, which proved to be successful. Gattuso was considered to succeed Makelele¡¯s role. Continuation of a successful model.


    On the road to success, thinking will inevitably become rigid and dare not act rashly.


    The breakthrough of this step requires not only great courage, but also a long time for the ideological foundation of change, change and invariance. It is only decided in an instant, but the time when this decision appears can accumulate, and maybe some coaches have a very poor life. I can''t think of it!


    Facing David Miller''s question, Aldridge said lightly: "I am very happy that the team has perfectly executed the tactics formulated by the coaching staff. As for whether there is a breakthrough, it is not easy to draw conclusions at least. The new experience will be of great help to the future. Seeking truth from facts, we have a new path of intensive defense. This is a good thing for the team. It proves our understanding of the game and our ability to control the game is stronger. Mill Wall needs innovation and a breakthrough in your mouth, and we will continue to work hard for this."


    David Miller began to applaud with a serious expression.


    It is very difficult for a successful team to innovate again, because the risks it takes are extremely large, and perhaps a small change will bring about the negative impact of detrimental strength and self-abolition of martial arts.


    Aldridge has this courage, Millwall has this pursuit, and it is worthy of him applauding this great team and sending him his sincere respect.


    Other reporters also applauded and looked at Aldridge with reverence.


    At such a moment, as journalists, they also felt lucky.


    Because, they are probably witnessing a legendary history in football.

 Chapter 717： new beginning

    At the end of the interview, Aldridge got up and left the Upton Park stadium. The players all took a shower and changed their clothes and waited for him on the bus.


    When Aldridge got on the bus, they were singing cheerful pop songs in the car, to be honest, not very pleasant, and even a bit noisy, but they can see that they are in a good mood to win.


    The bus drove away from Upton Park Stadium and just took to the street. The singing in the car gradually disappeared. The players looked at the chaotic street, and suddenly everyone''s expression became quite complicated.


    The fans of the two teams clashed outside the stadium. The Hammer helped the fans to chase down the fans of the crazy lions. When they were crowded, they had the advantage. During the riots, the black boxing was everywhere. The police were struggling to maintain law and order and continued to call for support. .


    This is definitely the dark side of the football world''s opposition to beauty, but no one can avoid it. England, Italy, France, Germany, Spain, where will there be a real land without smoke?


    Aldridge closed his eyes and tried not to watch all this, he did not complain in his heart to condemn the hammer to help the fans, because if it is replaced in the Lion King Stadium game, after the game, the local crazy lion fans are likely to trigger Such riots.


    Hatred is also part of football.


    When the players thought they were just watching the fire from the other side, they didn¡¯t expect the bus to encounter the siege of the opponent¡¯s fans just after a block. Throwing objects hit the window of their car frequently. If the police responded quickly, the surrounding attacking bus was dispelled. The masses, maybe Millwall can return to the south of the Thames safely.


    With this experience, many players have a deeper understanding of the East London derby.


    Compared to playing away games in the past, the time to go home earlier is earlier, maybe only longer than the return time spent playing Charlton. When Aldridge came home, it was time for dinner in the evening.


    There is dynamic music at home, Ewen is busy in the kitchen, she is singing, and Burt and Earl, two little guys run wild in the living room, the East London Derby game is played back on the TV, they are high from time to time Shout "Long live Millwall!"


    I didn¡¯t take them to watch the game today because of safety considerations. Aldridge really couldn¡¯t believe the security measures at Upton Park Stadium. The two children went to the stadium to watch the game, but they only watched Millwall¡¯s home game at the Lion King Stadium. .


    "Dad, I will break West Ham United''s goal for Millwall in the future!"


    Earl shouted loudly, and Burt also shouted, "Me too!"


    In the afternoon game, they watched with Arthur. Arthur didn¡¯t go to the visiting team to watch the game. The old guy shocked the two children during the watching game, or they infected them. Perhaps, in their subconscious mind, West Ham United is the most powerful team in the world, perhaps the most hateful demon in the world, defeating the strong or defeating the demon...


    Aldrich kissed their foreheads and praised them.


    The next day, the major media focused on the report of the East London Derby, not only because it was the derby that Millwall participated in, but also because it was a milestone in the end of the Premier League halfway.


    "The Sun": Congratulations to Millwall Premier League four consecutive championships!


    Subtitle: Arsenal-16, Leeds United-17, Manchester United-18, the only suspense in the second half of the season, who is the runner-up?


    In the 19th round, Millwall was more terrifying than in previous seasons, opening the gap of 16 points to 18 points from second place to fourth place. No one doubts that Millwall will defend for the third consecutive season this season. .


    At least, Millwall¡¯s Premier League **** continues.


    The Times quoted David Miller''s column article: The tactical master Hall made a new glory from the top, with a front waist back and a front waist back. The subversive tactical design shakes the green world!


    David Miller wrote at the beginning of the article: Millwall''s offensive is gorgeous, originated from the creative Ronaldinho, the terrifying Henry, the veteran Larson, the steel will Nedved, the elegant master Pirlo, but Millwall¡¯s defense has always been inferior to the offensive ability, Gattuso, Materazzi, Southgate, Schneider, Zambro Tower, there may be only Zambrotta praised by the outside world as capable of competing for the world''s first full-back, while the other players, alone, give people the feeling that it is difficult to rank among the top five or even the top ten in the world. Even so, Hall relies on The excellent tactical arrangement makes them play a world-class defensive ability together. Let us appreciate the elaborate masterpiece of Audrey Hall: high-level defensive defense and front back!


    "Daily Mail": West Ham United went to the Premier League for four years, turned around and looked back, the Premier League is already a lion world!


    There is not much newness in this report. The high-light photography of the game is used to earn the eye effect, especially when stepping on West Ham is more ruthless, just to set off the greatness of Millwall.


    "Star": West London United faced heavy penalty after the fans clash after the East London game!


    At Upton Park Stadium, fans rushed into the field before the game and put in burning materials. At that time, morale was raised. After the game, the fan faced prosecution and a life-long suspension. West Ham failed to manage his duties and there were fans. The riots will be fined by the FA with minor punishments. After all, the law will not blame the public, especially the riots outside the field. The investigation will be very difficult. In the end, the cause of the conflict and who is the party are unclear, but it happened in the Western Han Symbolically punishment is necessary outside the home of the United team. As for unlucky troublemakers, they will be on the blacklist of football hooligans.


    "Guardian": The hatred between West Ham United and Millwall is difficult to resolve!


    In addition to reporting on match reports, the Guardian also made a list of the grudges of the two teams over the past decade, including Audridge poaching the three geniuses of West Ham United, Ferdinand, Joe Cole, and Lan Pad, as for Carrick, who should enter West Ham United in history, is not on this list, after all, this has not happened now.


    The article in this newspaper is the point. The recent hatred of the two teams, in addition to the historical elements, the biggest fuse is Lampard, Ferdinand and Joe Cole. Now they have shown great strength. .


    The combined value of the three alone can already buy more than half of the West Ham United club. Can West Ham fans not hate it?


    Moreover, the more prominent these three people are, the more famous they are, the stronger this hatred will be.


    Even if Ferdinand had nothing to do with Millwall now, Millwall sold him to Leeds United and received a transfer fee anyway, and when Aldridge poached the three, the price paid was negligible.


    Without Aldridge''s digging, perhaps these three men played for West Ham United, and West Ham United would not be relegated back then. Unfortunately, there is no if.


    ...


    The new year is coming. Aldrich¡¯s days are in order. There is no winter break in the Premier League, so the league does not divide the first half of the second half. The 19th and 20th rounds are separated by 4 days. On the 30th God, Millwall will play at home against Liverpool.


    During this period, he held a coaching staff meeting. The league had a great lead, so he wanted to prepare young players to play more opportunities. The coaching staff needed to adjust the work schedule. After all, the young players were temporarily transferred to play games and direct long-term. The work plan for transferring to the first team is different. Only when you are prepared can you have a better work effect.


    Villa¡¯s injury is getting better, but Ramor has more than a month to come back. This year, the team pays more attention to the FA Cup and does not require a certain championship, but at least it cannot fall down in the round of 16 as last year. Also have to go to the semifinals because they will collide with the UEFA Champions League key schedule at that time, so the team will not put too much pressure on the substitute lineup and have to reach the finals. Of course, if the Champions League is planted outside the semifinals, the team will also Will adjust the expectations of other cups, the situation is now more relaxed, you can distract your energy a little.


    Ribery was also transferred to the first team as a complement to the team in the second half of the season. Starting in January, the FA Cup will start, and the team will have higher requirements for the thickness of the lineup.


    Although the East London Derby had a fan conflict after the game, the fans of the crazy lion were in a good mood. This Christmas, they received the best gift.


    In the home game against Liverpool, Millwall fans came to watch the game, those fans holding season tickets unexpectedly received the New Year''s package prepared by the team.


    The gift package is not rich.


    A beautiful new year calendar with Millwall stars in the background. Fans hold one page a month in their hands, some stars are on a separate page, and some stars share a page. Fans are very Like, especially idol fans.


    A Millwall crazy lion doll is suitable for being placed at home as a decoration or for children to hold before going to bed. The cartoon-style doll makes many little fans directly hug in their arms for a moment.


    There is also a small gift box, the gifts inside are varied, all are souvenirs around Millwall Club.


    The cost of the New Year¡¯s gift package is probably around 10 pounds. Millwall will enter the field to send or not to send fans, but since it is sent, not only will the fans be closer to the club emotionally, but also to promote the club¡¯s image in publicity. mild.


    Before the start of the game, there was a small episode, Henry entered the field alone with the Golden Ball, enjoying the cheers of the home fans.


    Afterwards, the Millwall team took a group photo with Henry holding the Golden Globe. The Liverpool players watched with helplessness.


    Before coming, they were aggressive and aggressive, but they were disturbed by Millwall''s pre-game ceremony. They always felt that their fighting spirit was reduced by 10%, and now it is a bit uninteresting.


    The other party''s mother is too strong!


    In the words of the media: three Mr. Golden Ball are in battle, plus a future Mr. Ronaldinho! Millwall superstars gathered!


    As long as Ronaldinho is not affected by the injury and his condition is okay, he will get a golden ball at Millwall sooner or later. This year he will almost suppress Henry.


    After Henry took a group photo with his teammates, he walked in front of Aldridge and asked to take a photo with Aldridge.


    Of course, Aldridge will not decline his good intentions. In the endless applause of the fans, Aldridge and Henry took a photo with their arms around each other and smiled. After the photo, Aldridge said to him: "Take the Golden Globe, but Not your end point."


    He was a little worried in his heart. For Henry, the football world has no honor to pursue!


    Team honors, a League Cup Grand Slam difference, as for the winners Cup has been suspended, he does not need to mind.


    Personal honours, Mr. World Football has not yet announced, it should be his, even if not, this year is not comparable to the Golden Globe Awards.


    Henry smiled at Aldridge: "Relax, boss, today is a new starting point, a new Thierry, start again."


    Aldridge nodded with a smile, applauded to the stands and walked back to the coach.

 Chapter 718： Bruise

    Liverpool were fierce some time ago, just after the game where Anfield was defeated by Millwall 4:2. They were in a row in a row. The assistant coach Phil Thompson replaced Hollier temporarily to obtain team command and played. A good record.


    However, this wave of excellent record is not particularly worthy of attention in the eyes of golf critics.


    Because Liverpool''s own technology and tactics have not made breakthrough development, the reason for Lien Chan and Lian Jie is simple: momentum!


    The head coach entered the hospital, the team''s strong cohesion was working, and a few victories were put together to show the head coach.


    This momentum ended in the Christmas Express campaign. First of all, it was too fierce before, and the continuous combat fitness could not keep up. Secondly, the sharpness was dissipated again, the 4-0 was washed by Chelsea, and the 1:2 home lost to Arsenal did not beat Aston Villa on the road until the last round.


    To say who the unlucky team is, it is Manchester United. It happened that when Hollier just entered the hospital, he encountered Liverpool. Liverpool went crazy to play the English Derby. Manchester United was scored three goals.


    Liverpool, who was touted as a challenger to the Premier League''s order before the season, finished halfway through. I''m sorry. Liverpool''s name hasn''t been seen in the top four. They are ranked fifth.


    Phil Thompson¡¯s coaching ability is not worth mentioning. After he took over the team, he first eliminated Manchester United and then won a winning streak. This has a huge impact on him personally. He may have changed his mentality. Change from the role of teaching assistant to the determination that you have the potential of a coach, and is a talent for a good coach!


    Therefore, Liverpool''s technical and tactical play has become very aggressive, which is also summed up by Thompson''s lackluster experience. That is how Manchester United won!


    This man was so low-key before the game that he complimented Aldridge and never mentioned how to play.


    But it is estimated that he had a passionate speech in the locker room before the game, which mobilized Liverpool''s fighting spirit.


    Because from the beginning of the game, Aldridge saw Liverpool thrashing very fiercely, very reminiscent of Liverpool''s nickname: Red Army.


    Fight against the heroic warriors one by one.


    However, the army belongs to the army, and the army that can''t win the battle is nothing to be commended.


    Aldridge still attaches importance to the game, because today he still uses a defensive strategy at the front of the waist. In the high position, Millwall quickly took effect.


    Gattuso successfully intercepted the ball in the midfield, intercepted Gerard''s pass to Smitchell, and then passed directly to Ronaldinho on the left. Ronaldinho single-handedly took the ball to the bottom. Carragher was most afraid of encountering two in the Premier League. Personally, one is Giggs, and the other is Ronaldinho. When he met these two men, his waist was almost broken, and he played as a full-back. There was no problem in other games. The weaknesses of condemnation.


    This time it was the same. Carragher directly collected in the restricted area, afraid of being broken by Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho would pass the ball without any harassment. How to describe this pass? Well, it''s a thief!


    After passing the centre-back, the centre-back was slow to turn around and he would be afraid of inadvertently owning an oolong. The speed was fast and the ball was low. After a bounce in the penalty area, he passed by the centre-back and the two men were empty. When Henry extended a foot pad Shot, the ball flew into the goal from Dudek''s hand.


    "In the opening nine minutes, Millwall took the lead! This opportunity came from a steal from Gattuso''s midfielder. It seems that Hall''s effect on Gattuso''s position premise was unexpectedly good. Ronaldinho Bong Last assist, Henry¡¯s annual goals have been refreshed again. Let¡¯s see if Henry can score more goals in this game today..."


    After seeing the goal, Aldridge turned to Jenson and said: "It''s not as bad as we thought it was when platooning."


    "There are certainly limitations, but it does not mean that a slightly capable team can catch our defensive flaws. Look again. Anyway, I always think that this set of defensive tactics can only break through intensive defense. It is to play a particularly conservative team. Never let players think that playing like this is foolproof. Otherwise, if you encounter Manchester United, Arsenal, or other strong teams in Europe, you will definitely suffer a lot."


    Jenson said seriously.


    Aldrich nodded after thinking for a while, and decided to take another look.


    Maybe it''s really that the bruise is not as big as he thought?


    But after 10 minutes, Aldridge smiled bitterly.


    "Liverpool equalized the score and the goal was Owen! After receiving a header from Husky, Owen drew the ball away from Southgate and then faced Bout who abandoned the goal with a single shot. He calmly took the ball Getting started with push shots, good shots! Millwall''s defense is very vulnerable this time, is it too easy to be penetrated?"


    The Liverpool team was excited about the goal.


    Millwall players turned to look at Aldridge.


    This ball is actually very simple.


    Gerald looked for Husky in the backcourt, Husky headed for Owen, Owen''s running position and speed characteristics were played out, and he was free to rush. Southgate was finally unable to run a top speed forward. Was beaten by Owen.


    To say that Liverpool really found the secret to restrain Millwall?


    not necessarily.


    Gerald couldn''t do anything. He was blocked from the front, back, left, and right. He couldn''t find the spot at a short distance. Gattuso was forced by wolves, so he could only make a long pass to find Husky in front. .


    Pirlo chased back slowly, and Materazzi came up and was preempted by Husky. Husky was a header and rubbed. Behind him, there were three people besides Materazzi, Owen and Thors. Gate, Butt.


    The space on the offensive side is unimaginable, Owen rushes up, and there is room, and there is no chance for the full-back to supplement the defense.


    This is where the high-level forced robbery and the front of the lower back are hard injuries.


    If the opponent does not make a short pass on the ground and uses the traditional British long pass, Millwall''s rear line fault tolerance is very low.


    But this is not a low demand for opponents.


    At least Gerrard''s long pass is quite accurate. Husky''s physical confrontation ability carried Materazzi, and he can also play the ball, plus an Irving with outstanding ability to capture fighters.


    That''s why Jansen said that Millwall''s defensive tactics are better for playing a particularly conservative weak team, and playing a strong team is too unsafe.


    For example, West Ham United will be unable to get on the ground because of the midfield being crushed, and adopt the approach of big feet in the backcourt, but their big feet are really big feet, instead of long pass to find teammates.


    Millwall''s players looked at Aldridge and were waiting for instructions.


    At the pre-match preparation meeting yesterday, Aldridge made it very clear that today he will still use the tactical system of playing West Ham United, but if there is a problem, the team will have to switch back to the previous defensive routine, which is to increase Tuso returned.


    Changed other coaches to tell the team, it is estimated that the players will be revolutionized, playing Liverpool, such an important game, you come to test tactics?


    But Aldridge told this group of players that there was no problem at all and the players were happy to accept it.


    The players regard this as a kind of professional pleasure. They all want to knock on Aldridge''s head to see what is in it?


    Abandoning classical wingers, setting up modern wingers, back-up fronts, back-up fronts, high snatches, counter-attacks and counterattacks... Aldrich¡¯s tactical level of innovation over the years has reached an outrageous level.


    It''s not that no other coach will do this. Like Aldridge, every coaching tactical change in the team will have a huge effect. There is only one coach in Europe.


    Aldridge got up from the coach seat and walked to the side of the court to gesture to the players.


    The player saw it and understood.


    Follow the agreement before the game, and then switch back.


    Gattuso escorted Pirlo.


    After the game restarted, the narrator discovered the changes in the Millwall players'' positions and areas of responsibility and chatted with interest.


    "Millwall made a self-denial. After the opening, Gattuso''s lower back was overturned. Now he is back to the lower back. Pirlo is moving in front of him, and the two maintain a close linkage."


    "It seems that as Hall said after the last game, his defensive tactics have certain limitations. Liverpool just passed the long pass directly to the frontcourt, Millwall fell into a defensive passive, although the number of people Excellent, but Pirlo¡¯s defensive ability is really uncomfortable. In fact, it is a 2VS2 offensive and defensive confrontation. Liverpool has the advantage of occupying the offensive space. It is not surprising that Irving won a single shot."


    Liverpool just scored a goal through a long pass, and then reapplyed the skill, frequently through the midfield and back field long pass to find Husky in front.


    But after Gattuso returned to the lower back position, Liverpool played like this, and did not score again.


    Of course, it is impossible for Gattuso to grab a header with Husky. How high is Husky and how high is Gattuso? With a 55 chance, Gattuso did not have any suspense after the defeat.


    Gattuso has his own pre-judgment against the opponent''s long pass. He can grab the point and grab the point. He Husky is separated by confrontation through the advantage of the position. This is more powerful than bounce. , He does not fall down.


    If he predicts that he can''t grab the landing point, Husky takes the lead, then Gattuso will retreat in the direction of the penalty area, Materazzi will definitely go up to defend Husky, whether Husky is to stop the ball Turning around or heading directly to do the ball, Irving didn¡¯t want to get the ball easily. Not only did Gattuso retrace his follow-up, but also Southgate added an insurance, Millwall¡¯s defense tolerance rate would not be like It was so low before, and it would not be penetrated by Owen as soon as he took the ball to accelerate the breakthrough.


    However, Liverpool equalized the score and the momentum came up. Smitcher was blocked by Butt from a long-range shot. Through a corner attack, Liverpool passed a second attack and Gerald rewritten the score from a long shot outside the penalty area.


    "1:2! Oh my God, Liverpool reversed the score! Did you read it right? Millwall actually conceded two goals and the score was reversed? If the game ends here, I don''t know how many records Millwall will be ended!"


    The fans in the stands of Lion King Stadium were all ignorant.


    behind? The score was reversed, this kind of thing is so **** fresh!

 Chapter 719： Legacy of the Wild Lion

    The stadium is very quiet, only Liverpool fans can make a little sound.


    Crazy Lions fans don¡¯t seem to be used to this scene on the court, and the numbers on the scoreboard seem to be messy.


    Especially at home!


    Aldridge stood up for the second time and walked to the sidelines, then made a fierce look at the players, without any tactical adjustment instructions, he simply hit his left palm with his right fist.


    The first goal conceded, the responsibility is the head coach, there is a problem with Aldridge''s tactical arrangements, he self-corrected.


    The second goal is lost, the responsibility is neither the head coach, nor hard to blame the players.


    Because Liverpool created chaos due to the positioning ball attack, the second attack only seized the opportunity. It is difficult to blame the player for such a lost ball. After all, the front defense was once held. In the case of crowds, the flashlight flickered in an instant. It''s normal to miss people.


    But Aldridge was still angry. The reason why he was angry was that Millwall seemed to be a little slack in spirit today.


    Playing a game feels slow, and probably thinks that after 90 minutes, they will get a natural victory.


    Who is the opponent?


    Liverpool.


    They couldn''t find North Liverpool!


    Aldrich¡¯s action is very simple, which is to make the players cheer up and devote themselves to bring the rhythm of the game together.


    It stands to reason that Liverpool attacked today with a 442 formation, focusing on the middle, and there was almost no side attack. Millwall should use this as a breakthrough and suppress opponents through crazy side attacks.


    However, because of the slackness of the fighting spirit, there was no suppression, but instead Liverpool caught the opportunity to position the ball.


    Aldridge doesn¡¯t blame the ball, but why Millwall didn¡¯t create more scoring opportunities!


    The combination of offensive and defensive means that defense or offense simply does not make sense.


    Does Millwall rely on offensive to suppress opponents in order to make the defense relatively improved; otherwise, offensive is offensive, defensive is of defense, playing football?


    Players on the field saw Aldridge''s expression and body movements, they all understood: the boss is not happy!


    They are even more upset.


    To be honest, Liverpool scored a goal in the opening, everyone felt that this game should be easily won in a familiar rhythm.


    Liverpool scored two goals in a row, reversing the score, as if to give Millwall a head shot.


    They looked at the Liverpool players who were celebrating opposite. They had different ideas in their hearts, which was roughly a kind of arrogant anger.


    Grass, is the Red Army going to revolt?


    Millwall does not have the inherent glory and superiority, but has a strong record of the strong man who is proud. They are not born to be the strongest, but they are fighting hard to fight today''s football status, income, influence, Praise and honor are all made by oneself. Because of this, this kind of arrogance is more firm, unlike some players who have hypocritical arrogance just because they are born in a rich family.


    Aldrich didn''t go back to the coach seat to sit down, but kept waving his arms to signal the player to attack, and his body movements were accelerating the game.


    Phil Thompson saw that Liverpool could lead Millwall on the road and scored two goals, which is awesome. Not everyone can score at this stadium, let alone score two, let alone lead Mill. Wall is up.


    It was like a stimulant injected into his body and shocked him.


    He also constantly encouraged the team through words and deeds, and devoted himself to combat command.


    Liverpool took the lead and began to play a little conservatively, specifically seizing the opportunity to fight back.


    However, their lineups have congenital deficiencies. Once again, the situation was once again on the table. They placed two forwards, and the midfield defense seemed to be unable to resist, especially when Millwall''s two full-backs assisted.


    In the 36th minute, Ronaldinho missed a great opportunity to break the goal. He inserted the ribs in front of the free, Nedved cooperated with Henry, Henry took the ball and slid the ribs free. Ronaldinho rushed and rushed After Carragher lost, Hypia couldn''t help defending for the first time. He faced the goal except that the angle was not too good, and there was no interference at all, but Ronaldinho shot the ball on the stands.


    Aldridge applauded the attack, encouraging players to make persistent efforts.


    The game rhythm was raised to a very fast level by Millwall, and then stabilized at this rhythm. The offensive coordination was smooth and tacit, and the player''s running position changed unpredictably. Even if Liverpool was conservative, they were tired of running on the defensive line.


    Before the end of the first half, Zambrotta tried a long shot outside the penalty area. The ball hit Henchoz and popped. Pirlo followed up with another long shot. This long shot was very tricky. Now Pirlo ''S long shot has been tempered to a very intuitive threat, Dudek made a wonderful save, fell to the goal line and blocked the ball with his hand.


    But the angle he blocked was not too good, the ball bounced, Larson seized the opportunity, rushed over when the ball popped, and then jumped high without waiting for the ball to hit the point, using the top of his head when the ball began to fall , The ball folds into the far corner of the goal.


    After scoring, Larson rushed over to pick up the ball and ran back.


    "Milwall equalized the score before the end of the first half! The goal scorer was Larson, er, count carefully, Larson''s goals this year also reached 37 goals, Millwall''s striker The firepower is too strong, and Henry Galarson alone can dedicate more than 80 goals annually. 2:2, Millwall put the game back on their way, but only scored one at home A tie is definitely unacceptable to them."


    Despite the equalization of the score and Milwall¡¯s backward momentum, Aldridge still walked into the player¡¯s channel without expression. The referee did not make stoppages. Liverpool kicked off the attack and the time came to the 46th minute. Halftime.


    In the locker room, Aldridge waited for the players. After all the players came in and closed the door, Aldridge said with a deep voice: "Maybe you haven¡¯t pursued, maybe your honor is enough, maybe you, grass, I don¡¯t care about you What the **** is thinking, five years ago, three years ago, two years ago, I will not say anything to you, 99% of us will get the league championship this season, but if you lose the game today, then The probability of losing 1% will rise to 30%. Why? It is not a change in the standings, but a change in your mentality. This is football. This is a competitive sport described as a battlefield. It is far more than you think. To be cruel, no team is afraid of losing. The most feared thing is to lose the tireless pursuit of victory. Even if you win 10 goals, you still have to pursue the determination to continue to expand the victory! Some people think that it is enough, it should be stopped, good Yes, tell me, I will send you to the most comfortable club for retirement, even if some of you are still young, but now that you have reached the mentality of retirement, go for retirement! Millwall, no players without ambition !"


    As soon as the words fell, Aldridge stepped out of the locker room.


    There was a silence in the locker room.


    Some players can''t understand Aldridge''s anger, even if his expression does not look angry, but what he said is the performance of Thunder''s anger.


    For example, Bout, who is a goalkeeper, stands in the penalty area for 45 minutes. What problem can he see?


    The players sitting on the bench can''t see it either. They have a different level of thinking than the head coach.


    Millwall''s first-half talk of how bad it was is definitely absurd.


    But as a coach, if you really want to solve the problem when the team''s performance plummets, then everything is too late!


    The reason is to prevent the situation from happening, and to get things back on track when problems arise.


    To put it bluntly, Aldridge is only a verbal warning, and has not made any substantive actions, but he really wants to take action, rather than saying it with his mouth, then things cannot be undone, and some players will be sentenced to capital punishment. .


    Southgate sat in a chair in front of his closet. He lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "It is impossible for me to get the Golden Globe Award in my life. Although there were two nominations, I got 8 votes together. I I can¡¯t get the Golden Boots, I can¡¯t get the best player in the league, all I can get is the medal at the end of the season when the team won the championship, every piece, I put it in the collection room in my house, I want to retire I can get more from time to time. This is my honor and my career. In fact, I don¡¯t understand who the chief is talking about, maybe it¡¯s talking about me, maybe who is among you.¡±


    Some people talked, the atmosphere was finally better, and it was the captain, not the coach. Everyone''s mentality was at least stable.


    Southgate continued: "I trust the boss and trust him blindly. I think every word he said is correct. There is no other reason, because he can make my career more than I dreamed. Great and more brilliant, I think it is my luck, to be his player, to work with him is a kind of luck, because there are many better players than me, so I blindly trust him. Since he just said that, first , I think it¡¯s right. Some of us are mentally slacked off, relaxed, and the desire to win has decreased. I don¡¯t know who it is, and I don¡¯t want to know it, but if one day, I can be like the boss. I felt this for a while, then guys, I¡¯m sorry, I can¡¯t be in the same room with that teammate, I can¡¯t talk to him, I can¡¯t trust him, I can¡¯t fight with him anymore, because he blocked my way, It¡¯s the enemy of my career. It¡¯s that simple. As the first captain under my leadership, I have been a seven-year captain. If I can, I want to continue to work for another seven years, but I¡¯m 31 years old. Such a tradition, no, I hope that I can leave it to Millwall. In addition to contributing my own strength, there is also a tradition created as a captain, that is, the spirit of mad lion, the spirit of always pursuing victory, not because How many championships we get, or change without championships, this is what I want to leave to Millwall. If anyone thinks differently from me, then we are no longer brothers."


    Southgate¡¯s words have resonated with many players, among them Nedved and Larson are the most deeply touched. The three of them are the oldest main players on the team, and only Palyuka than them on the bench. Older, and in fact, Palyuka''s sense of belonging to Millwall is not strong. Even though he has achieved glory here, it is only a career achievement, which does not mean that he can be regarded as a home.


    Nedved patted Southgate''s shoulder, Southgate stood up, looked around all his teammates, and found that the other people''s expressions were solemn, with respect and firmness in their eyes.


    He whispered: "We never blame each other, we are crazy lions, crazy lions united together, we are strong, we are the strongest in the world! To prove this, only on the field, I believe you, please also You believe me, we will show the fighting spirit that the mad lion should have and continue the mad lion dynasty, always!"


    Southgate closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Milwall!"


    All the players in the locker room roared with unyielding expression: "Chong Chong Chong!"


    "Milwall!"


    "Chong Chong Chong!"


    "Milwall!!!"


    "Chong! Chong! Chong!"

 Chapter 720： Self-confidence and arrogance

    Aldrich returned to the court earlier than usual, as if he had gone to the toilet, and the intermission time was not used to make on-the-spot adjustments for the team to win in the second half.


    Seeing him sitting peacefully in his seat, he didn''t know what he was thinking, or didn''t think about anything at all. His state of thought was outside the state of the game, and the commentator began to tease.


    "Hall seems to have no worries about the game. The current score is 2:2. Hehe, a very strange picture."


    "Will he say anything to the players? Or, really have no instructions? This is not good."


    "Yeah, the coach doesn''t enter the locker room at halftime. Such a gesture may be a self-confidence in the eyes of the players, or it may be too arrogant."


    ...


    Klinsmann walked to Aldridge''s right hand position and sat down, said with amazement: "Aldrich, I suddenly understood something."


    "what?"


    "When Millwall let go of those main players, you never showed excessive regret or loss. At that time, I thought you might just succumb to reality and accept calmly. Now I want to come. In your heart, there must be some profit and loss considerations. The factors of team building and transfer fee income make you think that it is the right decision to sell some people regularly, right?"


    Aldrich turned his head and looked at Klinsmann calmly, silently for a long time.


    For a long while, Aldridge withdrew his gaze suddenly, unsure: "Who knows."


    Klinsmann smiled bitterly and sighed a long time. This sigh contained an admiration.


    The rules of football are well known, and the strongest team may not always be able to sit on the throne, especially after reaching the peak achievement, it will inevitably decline, this decline does not mean that the team It was falling apart, but it should have belonged to them as the strongest, but the record fluctuated, which made the achievements decline.


    Paper strength still seems to be the strongest, but it can''t reach the strongest state at first.


    It has nothing to do with the players'' external strength, but a team''s internal changes.


    From playing the world to defending the world, who''s mentality will change, so is Aldridge. Otherwise, he will not coach the England national team, nor will he have the idea of ??retiring from the position of head coach after the end of the season.


    But if he is in power for a day, he must ensure that the team''s spirit remains unchanged for a day.


    For those important players who were sold before, Aldridge really didn¡¯t feel dissatisfied with his death. Once he earned the transfer fee, and secondly, he also needed to build the team. That is, metabolism, injecting fresh blood into the team and letting the ball The team maintains an upward impact, which is the two concepts of the team''s big exchange of blood and the overthrow of reconstruction.


    Therefore, at the end of this season, there is an Italian international in the first team who wants to return to Italy, and Audridge doesn¡¯t think it¡¯s completely harmful to Millwall, especially when their heart is not here, leaving them is not beautiful. .


    Klinsmann turned his head and continued to ask, "Did you just look too harsh on them?"


    Klinsmann is worried that Aldridge speaks too much in the locker room. You know, many of the players are worth ten million pounds on one leg. They have big cards and naturally have a strong self-esteem.


    Aldridge''s eyes were in a trance, as if to himself, as if to answer Klinsmann.


    "If not, how is Mad Lion different from other giants?"


    In the era of more and more utilitarian football, the stability of the top giants often has problems, partly because the most difficult honor is to sit back and relax and get a high profile posture.


    It is true that honor is in hand, fame has soared, and temper has grown, pride, or arrogance, self-righteousness, nibbling, etc.


    Confidence and arrogance are often the first line.


    Aldrich sometimes can''t tell the difference between his current mental state and whether he is confident or conceited.


    He can only convince himself through conscientious work, he is still a solid Aldridge.


    And football, not only by hard work, but also a will and determination to win.


    When Liverpool will walk out of the locker room, it looks like they are all together. Phil Thompson praised the team, continued to inspire the morale of the players, and can take away a point at the Lion King Stadium. This is definitely an acceptable result for Liverpool.


    Think of Arsenal, Manchester United want to take away a draw here is extravagant, even if Liverpool have ambitions, but also have to understand the reality.


    Millwall''s players have a refreshed mental outlook. They don''t seem to have experienced a 45-minute game, but they are welcoming a new game. Everyone''s expression is very solemn and murderous.


    At the beginning of the second half, Millwall gave Liverpool a dismounted horse. Henry tripped Gerrard when he snatched the ball. The referee awarded Henry a foul. The Liverpool players did not take it seriously. They had not noticed Mill. Wall''s team changed from attitude to momentum.


    Maybe Aldridge''s Millwall has a gorgeous offense, and occasionally has some elegant shadows, but in terms of confrontation, defense, scrambling, etc., when they are the most serious and devoted, they should be the lions when they are playing on the field. Each is like a wolf!


    This is not related to the dirty style of the ball. It is a characteristic of the mental outlook. Fighting technology, confrontation ability is not the main one. The key is courage and will, and it becomes a brave and fearless warrior!


    It must be said that Liverpool have an advantage in the 2:2 score, so after the intermission, the player''s fighting spirit and momentum are more vigorous. In contrast, Millwall, although the momentum is up, also occupies the initiative on the field, But it seems that he is too impatient to seize the opportunity because he wants to score too much.


    "Maybe you use a gentler way to make them perform better now."


    Jenson whispered in Aldrich''s ear.


    Aldrich said indisputably: "When it comes to principles, I will not talk to anyone in a negotiated tone."


    For him, Millwall is his hard work, and the team spirit is also a part of it. It is a matter of honor and shame. As always, the pursuit of victory is the principle!


    Who can''t accept it, who gets out!


    Perhaps, the players are indeed psychologically fluctuated by Aldridge''s words during the midfield, and in the second half, they are eager to prove to the head coach and prove to the home fans that their ambitions have not weakened in the slightest, but the more they are, the more focused they are. If burned, this will affect the game play.


    As a result, does Aldridge care?


    Do not!


    It doesn''t matter if you really lose today!


    The football field is constantly changing, and it is not that you can definitely dominate the game by shouting and killing, but you must have the ambition to rule the game.


    It doesn''t matter if you can''t win. The heart of the strong is to maintain a firm belief in winning in your heart.


    Seeing that the game had come to 70 minutes, Millwall still did not score.


    Nedved turned directly to Zambrotta on the court and then made the same move towards Schneider.


    Let''s press the two fullbacks together!


    Liverpool''s best performance today is the 3H combination and Gerrard. They completely guarded the middle and returned to the penalty area to make up for the back.


    Schneider and Zambrotta directly assisted and turned into wingers. For a while, Millwall launched a stormy attack on Liverpool.


    Phil Thompson is not useless, although Aldridge is not false on the side of the court, this is his pride as a head coach. Outside the court, everyone is a peer, there is no respect for the humble, the respect, but on the court As an assistant coach to Liverpool, Aldridge couldn''t talk about it at all. Naturally, he was disdainful.


    This attitude is very common, just like Mourinho''s first denying Ying overtime was despised by others.


    Before you make any achievements, don''t think you should get much attention.


    Phil Thompson frequently signaled to the team, long pass, long pass, long pass! Counterattack, counterattack, counterattack!


    The Liverpool formation was pressed back, and it could only fight back with a long pass.


    In the 77th minute, Smitchell made a long pass in the backcourt, Husky grabbed another point, header was given to Irving, Irving turned the ball, Gattuso and Southgate came one after the other, one snatch, one wait In the interception, Owen Sword went off the wing and took the ball directly to the side!


    Almost half a circle, and then throw away Gattuso through a sudden stop change, using the created space to rush to the restricted area.


    Southgate one-on-one Irving.


    Southgate keeps retreating and retreating, Owen doesn''t dare to speed up again, fearing that he will be stealing again.


    After Irving entered the restricted area two steps, Southgate suddenly stopped and started to grab!


    It was at this moment that Owen waited, and he suddenly speeded up, using the difference in rhythm between the two to break through Southgate!


    "Owen broke through successfully! Is it a single-handed ball?"


    Just after Irving broke through Southgate, he desperately saw that Bout rushed to the ground to throw the ball into his arms, and Irving was one step away, no, maybe half a step, as long as he could be faster, then Can shoot!


    Irving stretched his foot and closed it again. The whole person lost weight and rolled over from Bout. Bout stood up and Southgate and he gave each other a thumbs up.


    Southgate''s timing of choosing to grab is perfectly matched with the timing of Bout''s abandonment. No matter who is faster or slower, the two will give Irving a chance to shoot.


    Bout leaves first and Irving will shoot directly.


    Southgate robbed first, and Irving got rid of the breakthrough.


    The cooperation between the two was Southgate grabbing, which forced Owen to make a choice. There was almost no angle to shoot, only a breakthrough. As soon as he broke through, Bout confiscated the ball.


    Another point is Gattuso. Although he was a bit embarrassed by Owen''s breakthrough, his choice afterwards was very correct. He did not go to chase Owen from the back. Obviously too late, he chose to block Owen''s outgoing route and out of the ball. to whom? Husky!


    After Gattuso and Materazzi completely blocked the possibility of Husky taking the ball, Owen only had the option to shoot or break, and then Southgate and Butt worked together to end Liverpool this time. A threatening counterattack.


    "It is a pity that Liverpool''s players are still a bit worse in the end. If it is in the England national team, this opportunity to fight back is simply a godsend."


    "Maybe, but the Liverpool formation is being held back. Gerrard and Smitchell can''t rush up immediately, just like the topic that people are curious about. If the England national team faces Millwall, the England team will fight back. Will the tactics work? Haha, I¡¯m afraid even Hall has no answer."


    "Well, Millwall did a good job this time just now. Butt abandoned the goal in time to save the team. If Liverpool lead the score again at this time, Millwall''s situation is terrible."


    With 10 minutes left in the game, Millwall still didn''t score the third goal, and Audridge stood up and walked to the side of the court, making a gesture of depressing with both hands towards the player.


    Millwall''s players saw the coach''s gesture and suddenly realized.


    It''s true to win, but it''s not good to rush for quick success!

 Chapter 721： Metabolism

    Millwall has actually reached his peak in technical and tactical capabilities.


    To deal with different situations, how to face the game, they have rich experience and broad ideas, but in the case of too impatient attitude, coupled with the high-speed operation of the game, players on the field have no time to stop and calmly think for a moment.


    Until they saw Aldridge''s gestures, their minds became clear instantly.


    They were too eager for success. Since the second half, they have been controlling the rhythm of the game at a very high frequency. This way of playing, it does give Liverpool no breathing space in the defense.


    However, Liverpool are not West Ham United, nor are they teams that will continue to be suppressed and will collapse.


    This requires the team to be smarter to play technical and tactical skills, the overall height is that the rhythm changes.


    Keeping the Liverpool defense line nervous all the time, their spirits will be highly concentrated, and they dare not relax in the slightest. The danger is there, but they make them more united and fighting.


    Millwall started to play smarter and took the initiative to slow down the rhythm. He did not take into account the lack of game time and organized the attack slowly.


    Such a rhythm change not only caused a dramatic change in the situation on the court, but also made the opponent, Liverpool feel uncomfortable.


    From 45 minutes to 80 minutes, in these 35 minutes, Millwall and Liverpool seemed to be fighting against each other, and they were extremely fierce.


    From the beginning of 80 minutes, the field has been quiet and peaceful, more like a gentleman''s game, without seeing the sword.


    Liverpool''s team retreated and wanted to grab, but they did not dare to lose their position.


    Liverpool''s defense is more static. The fierce match in the first 35 minutes caused the blood to boil. At this moment, it is gradually cooling, so Liverpool players, especially defensive players, are particularly uncomfortable.


    They want to stagnate the boiling blood to continue to fight with their opponents, firmly believe that if they continue to fight, Liverpool will definitely be able to hold the draw until the end of the game.


    But the opponent suddenly retreated, what should Liverpool''s defensive players do? Is it rushing up?


    Millwall is certainly not Mingjin. They just want to make Liverpool''s defense cold. Because they occupy the offensive initiative, they have the advantage in speeding up and changing the rhythm. Like before, they have been in a fast-paced In the frequency competition, Liverpool players keep up with this rhythm, they can always keep up, stop for a while, then speed up, then stop, then speed up, so frequent rhythm changes can beat the opponent by surprise.


    The game reached the last 5 minutes, Millwall finally started to speed up, Schneider and Pirlo crossed the bottom after a two, and then suddenly knocked back to the right side of the penalty area, Nedvide grabbed the ball before Harman Into the restricted area.


    On the right, there was a figure that made Liverpool players completely unexpected.


    Ronaldinho!


    Shouldn''t he cut in the left wing?


    Why is the scope of activities larger?


    Insert the rib of the right wing straight from the left?


    If you can get an overview of the situation, Liverpool can see this wave of attack, the Millwall Trident completed the three-person transposition, Henry moved to the left rib, Larson moved from the right to the middle of the penalty area, Ronaldinho spared no effort Insert the right rib straight from the left wing.


    This wave of transformations has made Liverpool''s defense appear huge, and this is Ronaldinho''s point!


    Aldridge was sitting off the court and nodded secretly when he saw the scene.


    Whether the player works hard, he can tell.


    At least this kind of offense is what they are trying to get out of their creativity.


    It¡¯s no secret that Millwall¡¯s two wingers cut their ribs free, and Ronaldinho¡¯s direct insertion from the left into the right ribs free. Such changes evolved on the basis of established tactics and were even more unpredictable. Unexpectedly.


    Ronaldinho turned around after taking the ball and leaned to the goal. Regardless of the three, seventy-one and twenty-one, he directly hit the goal. Risse and Henjoz blocked the shovel obviously.


    Ronaldinho looked up after shooting, probably at a position he was not familiar with, he shot a little positive, Dudek pressed the center of the spot and blocked the ball with his foot, but the next moment, the ball flew back In the goal.


    Dudek jumped in anger, kicked the ball and flew out.


    "Dudek blocked the ball, but the blocked ball just hit Larson and the ball bounced back into the goal! The lineman did not raise the flag, the goal was effective! 3:2, Millwall was In the 87th minute, the reversal was finally achieved!"


    The players were celebrating the goal, the Lion King Stadium also cheered, but Aldridge''s expression was faint, no sign of it.


    If the ball is played at the beginning of the season, Millwall may be far ahead.


    But after half-time, Millwall''s Premier League advantage is too large, so big that players are somewhat uneasy even in the face of opponents like Liverpool.


    He is still not happy, because the hidden mentality of the team has exposed the signs.


    The heart is unpredictable, and the most difficult to grasp is the heart.


    Moreover, people''s psychology is very complicated. It is difficult to say that we have expressed our attitude today, and we will unswervingly execute it after tomorrow, perhaps only for a short time.


    This game cut off Aldridge''s thoughts.


    That was the last attempt to retain the four Italian internationals in the main team after the season.


    It¡¯s not that Aldridge blames them for the decline of the team¡¯s fighting intentions, but that the team needs fresh blood and a new wave of motivation to stimulate the main lineup, and since the previous four Italian internationals have the idea of ??leaving, he Just follow the trend.


    To maintain a dynasty, metabolism is very important.


    Now, maybe it''s just a sign of slacking in fighting spirit. When it continues to develop, it will become a "fallen" in the mouth of fans. Millwall has a talent reserve. Many young people line up to march into the first team to play the main role and become famous. The impact they bring, first of all, may be more intuitive in spirit than many players in the team now, even if there is indeed a gap in strength, but at least it is an upward momentum, not a trend of gradual decline.


    Liverpool were scored during this time, it can be called a lore!


    They are naturally not reconciled, nor is Phil Thompson.


    He felt it, Aldridge did not pay any attention to him. Although the two would shake hands before the game and the name of the other party will be mentioned at the press conference, it was just a courtesy off the field. At the level of the opponent, Aldridge never put him in the eye.


    The game is now. From the first half to the present, Aldridge stood up and walked to the sideline three times.


    The first time is to adjust the line of defense to self-correct.


    The second time was to command the team to complete the equalizer in the first half.


    The third time was in 80 minutes. In the eyes of Phil Thompson, Aldridge¡¯s gesture was more like a tactical instruction to stabilize the team and avoid being countered by Liverpool.


    For a brief period of time, Phil Thompson felt a little proud.


    The mad lion has nothing to do with the Red Army under his leadership!


    Liverpool can retreat in the Lion King Stadium, this record is already good.


    But at this moment of short immersion, Millwall killed Liverpool.


    Phil Thompson is hard to accept.


    Millwall had attacked so fiercely before, without breaking the door.


    This retreat looks like a gesture of killing time, but directed the lore!


    Aldrich, what magic do you have?


    In fact, this is the ability to use tactics and command on the spot.


    In theory, there are many similarities with war tactics, and it is no wonder that a famous coach would respect China''s Sunzi art.


    Phil Thompson waved his arms excitedly, shouting and letting Liverpool go up and fight back!


    Liverpool pressed up, the first attack was not successful, the second wave of attack invested more troops.


    After 40 seconds, the Millwall counterattack was approaching the city, and Ronaldinho gave Larson an over-the-top straight. Larsen could not keep up with his physical fitness, so he would not play the long-distance raid. See the opportunity and pass in front of the middle. , Henry threw away Hypeia to go to the meeting, facing Dudeke, Henry lightly rubbed the hanging door and sent the ball into the Liverpool gate.


    "4:2, Millwall scored two goals in 3 minutes! 1 minute of regular time left in the game, plus stoppage time, this goal should kill the game, no suspense, Millwall top 20 The round will have a terrible record of 17 wins and 3 draws. Henry¡¯s annual goals have also increased by one more goal. Mr. Golden Ball scored twice in this game!


    Liverpool''s fighting spirit was completely destroyed by this goal. A few minutes ago, they all hoped to get a tie, a precious 1 point. After a few minutes, they fell to hell.


    Phil Thompson was expressionless. Such a result would undoubtedly hurt morale and the spirit.


    After the game restarted, Millwall was still trying to attack, but Liverpool did not attack, but contracted the defense. The remaining time was not enough for Millwall to play a rhythm change.


    Therefore, the final score did not change.


    "4:2, Millwall double-played Liverpool in the league this season, the score is the same, Liverpool as the former giants, still have a certain competitiveness in the league this season, but by being double-milled by Millwall this season, we can still watch The gap between Liverpool and the championship team is really very big. Liverpool is going to rise again. It seems that the club has a long way to go."


    After the game, Aldridge shook hands with Phil Thompson and walked into the player channel. In an interview after the game, Thompson said Millwall was too strong and Liverpool did their best, but in the end they only regretted the defeat.


    Aldridge didn''t say much about the game. He borrowed the opportunity to interview and wish every Millwall fan a traditional Chinese New Year.


    Millwall fans who came to watch the game today are very happy, the game is very enjoyable, and they also received a New Year¡¯s gift package. They can¡¯t notice the team changes in the stands. In their eyes, Millwall is perfect. , Even if two goals are lost, it is perfect.


    But no one knew that after the game, Aldridge left the club, got into his car, pulled out his phone and drove to Andrew on the way away.


    He is a resolute person, he will not delay when he makes a decision, and he likes to be prepared.


    It is good for the team and the players to finalize their plans early.


    After the phone was connected, Aldridge asked directly, "Where is it?"


    "Nifflin is here."


    "You guys? Get together?"


    "Uh, yes, we are discussing marriage."


    "Marriage? Suddenly it''s marriage?"


    "Well. Are you okay?"


    "Some things to talk about separately."


    "Okay, make an appointment."

 Chapter 722： Dynasty limit?

    Andrew is definitely the most enjoyable life among the three brothers of the Hall family.


    Barnett¡¯s career in the United States is getting bigger and bigger. He works hard day and night. Aldrich¡¯s law of life is step by step, but he is also limited by his work time.


    In contrast to Andrew, he has a lot of free time, and because of the business relationship, he can go around the world, and there is a lot of flexibility.


    In the city of London, Andrew invested a private club with free money. When he was on vacation for himself, he could go horseback riding on his own horse farm, he could go to a casino with two people to play, and he could enjoy it in his own cigar club. High-end cigars, as for private clubs, are not high-level places to hide dirt and decay. They are places where friends gather and do not want to be disturbed by outsiders.


    In fact, these investments are not just for hedonic leisure purposes, but also as a communication platform, to expand contacts, exchange resources on his wealth level, etc.


    It¡¯s hard to say that Aldridge was not influenced by Andrew. Aldrich lived so smartly. Aldrich naturally wanted to make the private space wider and more free time. It didn¡¯t have to be like Andrew. Socializing, but being able to enjoy life more is certain.


    The meeting place of the two brothers was in Andrew''s private club.


    Because it is not evening, there are not many members here, but some people are borrowing wine to sorrow, it seems that they are unsatisfactory in their careers, hiding here to find a quiet drink and drink booze.


    Instead of staying indoors, Aldridge came to the spacious balcony on the second floor, sat on a chair and asked for a bottle of wine, and slowly waited for a cigarette.


    Everyone is happy and happy, and Andrew comes with a smile on his face, which makes Aldridge''s goose bumps "smirk".


    "Oh, congratulations, I''m going to be the bridegroom. Are you proposing? Kneel?


    "Kneel, of course! Kneeling, do you think Nephrine will nod?"


    Andrew sat down in the chair next to Aldridge, tilted Erlang''s legs, took a cigarette from the cigarette case on the middle table between the two and lit it, took a breath, spit out a smoke, and always smiled.


    Aldrich leaned over his head and asked in a low voice: "Nephrine, what is special about her?"


    In Aldrich''s eyes, Nie Flynn is considered to be the level of high career achievements among women. It belongs to the typical strong woman, noble, cold and glamorous, and her attitude is strong and compelling.


    At first glance, it is very attractive, but on the level of Aldridge and Andrew, it will not be too concerned.


    People who are accustomed to the taste of mountains and seas and the delicacies in the eyes of ordinary people will not have too strong a unique sense.


    The same is true for women, although Aldrich is not as indulgent in flowers as Andrew, and there are countless girls who can¡¯t talk about it. Fortunately, he is knowledgeable, and it is by no means an open-eye experience at a glance. His social circle In the number of men who know how to know, basically there are as many beautiful women as she knows. There are definitely a lot of insights, so although he knows Neveline earlier, he will not be surprised by the beauty of the other party, nor does he think that the other party is unique Appeal.


    Put it on Andrew, this makes Audridge even more curious, because the other party¡¯s knowledge is higher than his own, think about this brother can go to the city with the most beauties in the world for nothing. The hairless boy who can''t walk.


    Andrew thought for a long time while smoking a cigarette, and finally concluded a sentence.


    "She has something special that I can''t tell. If I can tell the characteristics, I can definitely find it in other women. Anyway, she is the kind of woman who gives me a habit to end my past life and start a new life. You won¡¯t think about other women, only her in her eyes."


    Aldridge smiled and said, "You said Nivelin as if she made you change your face and be a new person!"


    "Hey, Aldridge, that''s what it is. It gives me the idea to live again, say goodbye to the past, and open up a bright future."


    "Hahaha."


    Aldridge smiled from the back.


    Laughing and laughing, thoughts returned to the past.


    He should have had this feeling before.


    When?


    By the way, it was in the United States when I was with Melanie.


    At that time, he wanted to start a new life, play a new role and form a family with her.


    That urgent desire, the sudden thought that came into my mind, made the impulse uncontrollable.


    Perhaps it was because I knew Ewen since I was a child, this impulse did not appear between the two, but as Andrew said, Aldridge has now stabilized and does not want to change, only Ewen is in his eyes, This is also a sense of his cherishment and responsibility. When he has good things, he does not want to destroy all this.


    "Okay, don''t talk about me, what are you doing with me?"


    Aldrich put his thoughts away and asked solemnly: "Pirlo, Zambrotta, Materazzi, Gattuso, have these four players talked to you about the future recently?"


    These four people have expressed their ideas of returning to Italy before, but after all, after a short period of time, will their ideas change, who knows?


    In this regard, the player who understands the player¡¯s thoughts best is the agent, not the head coach, in addition to the player¡¯s relatives.


    If anyone of them is willing to stay in Millwall for a long time, Aldridge will naturally open the door and welcome.


    Andrew frowned and said, "Before the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony, we were talking, how? Someone publicly stated that they want to leave the team? Impossible..."


    He thought that there was a player who "flags" blatantly, which is bad for the player''s image and reputation. Andrew never advises the player to do this. Whatever he thinks is the same thing, the agent will keep it secret and operate privately, Rather than publicly speaking out into the microphone, there is no benefit at all. Perhaps it is possible to do so in a small club, but it has always had a negative impact on reputation.


    Aldridge waved his hand and said lightly: "I just want to know their attitude, and I do not hide you. If they want to go back to Italy, I let them go and no longer try to keep it. At least, I, Millwall, and The story between them is a beautiful beginning, a beautiful end, and the memories left to each other are beautiful."


    Andrew was relieved. As long as it wasn''t for the players to make trouble, he wouldn''t be nervous. The reason for the tension was simple. The money was linked.


    "Alas, the last time we communicated, their attitude was much firmer than it was in the summer, which may be related to Millwall''s recent record."


    Aldrich nodded, understandably.


    Millwall actually finished less than halfway, basically locking the league champion. This season''s achievements are even lower, and there are also league champions. Four consecutive titles are guaranteed. This is already a very high score. Manchester United has five consecutive Asians.


    "The four of them should have communicated because they basically agreed to me. They won the league title for Millwall again this season. As long as they can reach the semi-finals, they will seek a transfer back to Italy next summer. "


    After Andrew finished speaking, his eyes locked on Aldridge''s face.


    In these words, if he wants to tell Aldridge on his own initiative, he should say it before the Golden Globe Awards.


    But he was scared, fearing that these words spread to Aldridge''s ears, would anger Aldridge, and the four players would be beaten into the cold palace.


    But when Aldridge asked, he would not hide it.


    Aldridge fell into his own contemplation.


    Champions League, semi-finals?


    Are they satisfied, or are they not confident in themselves or Millwall?


    No, the Champions League entered the knockout round after the quarter-finals.


    Those who can reach the level of the semi-finals must be strong teams.


    And the chance of the cup is very big. They can¡¯t guarantee that Millwall will face the top four opponents with a complete lineup and peak status. If there is a large number of injuries, Millwall will stay in the line, even if it is blocked from the final, no is it possible?


    However, they still have the confidence to enter the semi-finals.


    And to reach the semifinals, Millwall will also set a record.


    Break into the semifinals of the Champions League for five consecutive years!


    This is the best continuous combat record in the Champions League in the past two decades.


    Aldrich turned his head to find Andrew looking at himself solemnly, probably guessing what the other party was worried about, and smiled: "They have a little conscience, the semi-finals of the Champions League, hehe, maybe, in their subconscious, Millwall This wave of glory should also come to an end."


    Andrew''s expression was awkward and silent.


    It really made Aldridge right.


    A team is strong in one season and strong in a few years, but it can''t escape its decline.


    Millwall landed in the Premier League for six years, four years in six years, four years in Europe, five years in four years. If he wins the league title again this year, he will achieve five years in the Premier League.


    No matter how strong the team is, there will be a big cycle ups and downs, not to mention Real Madrid, which has just kicked off the European football, and Bayern, Liverpool, Milan, the two men behind, no one can escape this fate.


    In the eyes of many people, Millwall''s dynasty should be reaching its limit.


    Even Aldridge felt this. Isn¡¯t the dangerous sign that players¡¯ mentality appeared in the game of Liverpool today? It¡¯s just that it hasn¡¯t yet reached the stage of visualization and reification, but if that happens, I¡¯m afraid Millwall will have to undergo a major operation to rebuild, and Aldridge has to work hard, I don¡¯t know how many people can stay. .


    Therefore, he has to prevent the slightest change and advance the team''s blood exchange, but it is not a major blood exchange. Moreover, the loaned Lampard, Ashley Cole and others also have the strength to return to pick the big beams. They used to get the replacement. Those honors are actually insufficient for them, so when they return to Millwall, they will usher in a whole new world.


    "Okay, I understand things. You don¡¯t have to say anything to the players. The old rules. Let¡¯s talk about the transfer after the season. However, if someone from Juventus contacts you, you know, Millwall doesn¡¯t talk to Juventus. Tus is in business."


    Aldrich got up and left. There are many rumors in the outside world. There are many people around Pirlo. The winter transfer window opens immediately. No, the Italian media is already preparing for the Serie A team. Buying an Italian international in the Millwall formation.


    Fools know that Millwall cannot sell them in the winter. Moreover, Serie A giants are not stupid. What is the use of buying now? Do you only play league games? Anyway, the European War can not be played, the team still re-run in the middle of the season?


    However, the media is the media, making up an early transfer agreement, giving Millwalles a sum of money, signing the transfer agreement in advance, and letting people go in the summer.


    The Italian media is also plausible: If these internationals perform prominently in the World Cup next year and then talk about transfers, their value will definitely soar!


    It makes sense to say so, but it simply doesn''t work in reality.


    Because in turn, Millwall is even less likely to sell!


    In terms of attitude, Millwall still has to show a firm attitude that these players are not for sale.

 Chapter 723： Captain Junior

    In the new year and new weather, Millwall is still the focus of European football. One thing may not be noticeable at this time, but it made Aldridge pay attention to it for a moment.


    The magic bird Mourinho wins Porto!


    Coaching in Benfica ended in failure. Mourinho regrouped in Lia. He relied on the excellent record of more than half a year and was favored by the Portuguese superpowers. Agent Mendes also helped.


    As soon as the news was over, Aldridge dropped his head and found that his mentality changed slightly. When he first crossed, he would feel that Mourinho and Guardiola are close to themselves. This is very close, not strength. It¡¯s an impression, but as I walked through the late 1980s and 1990s, I felt that it was getting farther and farther away. Perhaps it was for him that the memory was getting farther and farther away.


    If you think about it for a long time, when Magic Bird and Guardiola become famous, they have already laid a lot of high-profile foundations, and then come to face them. Of course, their mentality is different from before.


    Even the Mesozoic coach An Pang is still not so brilliant.


    The winter transfer window opens, and there are not many clubs that offer or ask for rent to Millwall. Most of the scandals between the giants are fabricated by the media. In the middle of the season, there are few heavy recruitments. The factors that contributed to the transfer, in addition to money, It also includes plans for both clubs throughout the season, that is to say, even if someone wants to buy Millwall stars at a high price, the offer is difficult to refuse, but for the second half of the season, Millwall also refuses to tempt. Perhaps the transfer fee income will be very high, but it will have a huge impact on the record of the second half of the season. The invisible loss may not be able to make up for the transfer fee.


    However, the bids of some famous players for renting are really sincere, but Millwall''s first-team personnel are compact this season, and they have just used them. There are no rich people on loan. Some unknown players in the reserve team are In the club phases of A and even England B, the club has given them a position for their future, and they will not hinder them. Studying with the prince is only a basic task. They can have a way out, and everyone is happy.


    People come and go, the reserve team not only has huge personnel changes in summer, but also has frequent personnel changes in winter. This place itself belongs to the iron battalion platters. The players who have performed well in the reserve league for half a season have been low. The professional club at the level looks normal, and Millwall also regrets that these players with most of their abilities are second-rate players. Their youth training base can bring a batch of fresh blood at any time.


    Compared with the sudden increase in the work of the reserve team, the first team is methodical, no one comes, no one walks, the winter transfer window seems to not exist for the first team.


    The FA Cup battle reached the middle, the Premier League team joined the battle group, Millwall will be the guest to challenge Vegambi in the first game, and the large list of expeditions is naturally based on the bench.


    In the training base, the pre-match preparation meeting within the team will be held after the training today, and the game will be enlisted tomorrow.


    The lineup is well-organized, tactical training, everything is done step by step, Aldridge looks at the substitute line-up players hard training, hard-working attitude, he is very satisfied, I don¡¯t know if it is because most of the players in the main line-up have already become famous, or because of their age, Instead, he now feels that he prefers players who are on the bench. At least his enthusiasm and enthusiasm are exciting.


    Clapping his palms attracted the players'' attention, and Audridge beckoned again, and the players took the initiative to stand in front of him.


    The first team is in front of him, he said: "Tomorrow, those who did not enter the roster can now leave, bye."


    Southgate, Nedved and others greeted their teammates before leaving.


    There were 18 people left before this.


    Aldridge glanced at the players in front of him, and finally fixed his sight on Ronaldo''s face. His calm eyes fixed Ronaldo''s heart.


    The last time he played in the game, he was taught by Aldridge during the halftime break. It is estimated that he will remember his life.


    Did you do something wrong today?


    Ronaldo was so upset that he thought Aldridge might give him a vaccinating mind...


    However, Aldrich reached into his pocket with his right hand and walked in front of him. With the other hand on his shoulder, Ronaldo only felt that his breathing had become suppressed.


    He almost blurted out: Boss, give me a little face!


    Here he is the youngest, and the most fond of stinky beauty, if he was taught by Aldrich in public, he would not know if he would get ill.


    At his age, face is tantamount to dignity and cannot be violated.


    In private, no matter what happens to the master and the disciples, this is confidential, and Ronaldo can accept it and make it public, which is hard to say.


    Aldridge took something out of his pocket and put it in front of Ronaldo. He surprised Ronaldo. After seeing what was in Aldrich''s hand, he realized that he was a false alarm, and his expression became fanatical. His eyes were bright, he couldn''t help but raised his head up.


    That''s the captain''s armband!


    "Cristiano Ronaldo, this is the captain''s armband of Millwall, do you want it?"


    Aldridge asked as usual.


    Ronaldo nodded quickly without concealment and shouted, "Boss, give me!"


    "Okay, you have the confidence to own it, and I will give it to you. But you must understand the responsibility of being the captain!"


    "Please rest assured, I will!"


    Ronaldo''s voice was louder.


    In front of him, it is the armband of the captain of the European dynasty team, which is of extraordinary significance.


    Aldridge looked around the other players and asked, "Does anyone disagree?"


    Here are all substitute players. In fact, everyone knows that Ronaldo got the captain''s armband, which is two concepts with the real captain.


    Aldridge has never officially appointed captains other than Southgate, Nedved, Larson, and Materazzi.


    The first three are the main team of the first team since they came to the team. The order is clear. Who can''t play the three, and the person who succeeds will wear the captain''s armband.


    At the time, Materazzi was the captain of the substitute lineup, which was designated by Aldridge. After taking over into the main lineup a few years ago, the captain of the substitute liner was worn on Neil¡¯s arm. If Neil was injured, the substitute lineup Playing a game, then whoever has the highest qualifications in the game, whoever wears the captain''s armband, this is just a symbolic captain.


    Neil is not considered to be deprived of the captain''s armband, because in his eyes, he is always staring into the main lineup to start, rather than being the captain in the bench.


    Here is just a transition.


    But Ronaldo can be appointed by Aldridge personally, showing how much attention he receives, it is likely to be a candidate for the team captain in the true sense in the future!


    Only De Rossi showed a faint expression of loss.


    Starting from the low-level youth team, De Rossi is the captain and the captain when he plays in the reserve team. He entered the first team earlier than Ronaldo, but Aldridge handed the captain''s armband to Ronaldo.


    Aldridge made this decision after careful consideration.


    After the last game in Ronaldo, there were many topics surrounding him. The outside world praised him very high, such as the next big star of the mad lion, but his fancy extra personal performances in the game were Audrey Wonderful and disgusting.


    In the final analysis, Cristiano Ronaldo has not yet combined technology and practicality to perfection. Even if these two points are combined to perfection, it must be integrated with the team''s technical and tactical skills.


    If he is allowed to continue to develop like this, the freshness of the fans will soon pass, and gradually found that this kid plays beautiful and good-looking, but does not contribute much to the team, and sometimes even the reaction, then he will be hit "Flashy" label.


    This road was taken by Ronaldo when he was at Manchester United.


    Aldrich couldn''t give Ronaldo a special "7" jersey like Ferguson, even if it was not what Ronaldo requested.


    Millwall does not have a shirt number with a heritage color. Maybe there will be in the future. Even if there are many outstanding players in the contemporary era, even if a dynasty collapses, not only memories but inheritance will be left to future generations.


    But Aldridge must patiently guide Ronaldo to avoid his detours. The decision he made was to give him the captain¡¯s armband. Although it was not to make him the captain of the first team, as long as he came on the bench, he also appeared. The captain.


    Captain means a lot, the most important thing is the sense of team responsibility.


    Aldridge feels that such guidance is far more meaningful than Manchester United¡¯s No. 7 jersey.


    At Manchester United, the owner of the No. 7 jersey, unless it is the captain, can not override the captain, still have to listen to the captain, otherwise the following is committed!


    The dignity of the football circle is similar to feudalism.


    To make Ronaldo the captain is to let him shoulder more shoulders, especially when he is in the game. As a captain, the first thing he wants to think of is to win and lead the team to win, not to perform personally, to play personally, and the team wins far. Far more important than personal victory!


    There was no objection. Aldridge handed the captain''s armband to Ronaldo. He took it and put it on his arm with excitement. The waist was straightened.


    "Okay, go to the meeting room."


    At the command of Aldrich, the players first went to the locker room to take a shower and change clothes, and then gathered in the conference room to listen to the pre-match preparation meeting hosted by the coaching staff, formulate tactics for tomorrow¡¯s battle, analyze the opponent¡¯s technical and tactical focus, and perform a series of The layout and the remaining time is left to the players to digest themselves.


    Aldridge will never do this work 30 minutes before the start of the game, which is not very effective. Players will not be able to converge without a process of thought digestion and thinking. Sometimes, this is also the standard for Aldridge to check the professional attitude of players. .


    Some players may have made a small mistake in the preparation meeting before the game, and their thoughts are not concentrated. The next day they played in a mess and were out of touch with the team. Then, they can know that this player did not listen to the coaching team''s pre-game arrangements.


    Today''s pre-match preparation time is not long, less than 15 minutes, because the opponent Wegambi is not strong, the opponent''s technical and tactical characteristics are not outstanding, Millwall''s main thing is to arrange targeted deployment of offense.


    In the end, Ronaldo is still a hairy boy under 17 years old, and he changed his clothes after taking a shower. He still wears the captain''s armband. It is estimated that he will wear it home, and he will definitely take a few photos to share with his family.


    The pre-match preparations were over and the players left one after another. Aldridge stopped De Rossi and smiled at him: "Come and eat at my house at night."


    De Rossi promised to come down, the two went to the parking lot together, Aldridge drove a car, De Rossi drove a prince motorcycle, he is also in the young age of love, it¡¯s okay At that time, I would cross the market with some friends on a motorcycle, or it might be the way to attract attention.


    However, if he travels with Aguero Messi, basically no girl will come to talk with him, because it feels like he is taking two younger brothers out to play...

 Chapter 724： Opportunities and beliefs

    The relationship between the coach and the player is very delicate. The name of the job is superior and inferior, but the player has the possibility of "rebellion" at any time. In order to maintain authority and fairness, the coach will try to avoid being too close to a player to avoid causing jealousy to other players. It may also become a hidden fuse when problems arise.


    Like Aldridge and Ronaldinho were brothers from the outside world, they now maintain a clear distance in private. It is also because Ronaldinho has his own life. In addition to the occasional communication, the two are not in a circle. Naturally, it is "distinct".


    But the coach has his own scale, and people are always alienated. If Audric has the best private relationship with Ronaldinho in addition to Ronaldinho, De Rossi may be the first one, like Southgate Especially, those Nedved players respect each other, they have a good relationship, but they rarely get together to chat.


    After having dinner at Aldridge''s house, Aldridge set the tea in the backyard, but De Rossi answered the phone and walked for about five minutes.


    "Sorry, KUN and Messi are going to play video games and invite me to go, oh, grass, why am I telling you this! Boss, you shouldn''t have heard of it."


    De Rossi put away the phone and sat down.


    Aldridge chuckled, poured him a cup of tea, and said, "You still have such a good relationship with them?"


    "Uh, there is no way. The people who used to play together are gone. After a few years, there are not many faces left."


    De Rossi, who was only 18 years old, gave a sigh.


    Aldrich knew it.


    The youth team is good, the reserve team is good. People go to tea and cool. They don¡¯t have to look at how cruel the first team in football is.


    "They feel like their bodies, they really don''t grow up. At my age, how could they go to the movies and play games with them?"


    De Rossi chuckled.


    Aldridge asked, "What do you do in your spare time?"


    "Of course, I''m looking for my sister to go to the movies and play games."


    De Rossi looked at Aldridge''s eyes slightly contemptuously, and seemed to feel that the other party was asking nonsense.


    Aldrich raised his eyebrows, and was despised if he was despised.


    The two chatted casually, basically a topic of life. De Rossi lived in the UK for a few years and was very familiar with it. For example, he went to the horizon and saw a player in the team at a certain PUB in the city, or other balls. Team stars, who have seen conflicts and the like, will tell Aldridge as anecdotes.


    On the contrary, Aldridge seems to be a kid who has never seen the world. He listens very carefully and asks questions if he has any questions.


    To be honest, Aldridge has never been to some PUBs in the city that are more famous in the reputation of young people, but he is self-consolation: I go to the leisure and entertainment places are all high-grade.


    After chatting for a while, De Rossi said suddenly: "Boss, do you actually want to comfort me?"


    "Huh? What comforts you?"


    "Because you made the boy Ronaldo the captain."


    "Do you need my comfort?"


    "That''s not necessary, especially after seeing Lucas'' reaction, I figured it out. Cristiano Ronaldo is not qualified to be a captain, qualifications, abilities, contributions, he is a captain, who is convinced? But why no one objected? Because everyone knows that we are tolerating him, we are nurturing him, you give him the captain¡¯s armband, not let him lead us, but we jointly promote his growth and let him mature as soon as possible. On talent, to be honest, He is indeed very outstanding, the boss is very hard-working, just don¡¯t know if he can understand. In case he really thinks how great he is, he puts on the captain¡¯s armband and arrogantly, hey, the boss¡¯s hard work will feed the dog."


    In the words of De Rossi, Audric pouted and nodded.


    Hit the nail.


    Aldridge whispered: "I want to talk to you about your situation in recent years, as well as future developments."


    "My father often calls me to say that the Roma team wants to bring me in and hopes I can take the initiative to go back. Every time I talk about this with him, it feels weird."


    Aldrich showed a puzzled look. Old De Rossi is now the manager of the Roma team. He is a member of the management team. The level is not high, but he also has a certain position. After all, it is the old red wolf.


    Dad advised his son to return to Rome, what''s so strange?


    "why?"


    De Rossi took a sip of tea. I don¡¯t like this kind of black tea. He took a sip and put the tea cup back. He said with helpless breath: "Because I think I and he lack communication consensus, the basis of our conversation Different. Yes, I was born in Rome, and my father used to play for the Club of Rome, but I have not received a one-minute guidance training from the Club of Rome. In the lower echelon of the Roma team, Daniele de has never appeared Rossi¡¯s name. However, my father¡¯s tone of voice seemed to me that I was born to be a player of the Roma team. I think it¡¯s unreasonable. Boss, do you think your son is destined to be Millwall? If they play football, Must play for Millwall. Should they be tied to Millwall if they are in the football industry?"


    Aldridge was stunned, shook his head subconsciously, and then said: "I would expect that if my son is in the football industry, it would be better to be in Millwall, but, I will not interfere and decide for them ."


    De Rossi snapped his fingers and said, "Yes, now my father is trying to make a decision for me."


    "What about the result?"


    "The result? I asked him a word and there was no result."


    "what?"


    "I asked him: Why didn''t the Roma team invite me five years ago, four years ago, three years ago? Why did I start to gain fame in Millwall before I became interested in me?"


    Aldridge was silent.


    De Rossi asked this sentence too cruelly.


    Simply, it tells the reality of football.


    This is a stage for the strong, not an emotional theater.


    De Rossi has no strength, nor can he be seen by the first-line team in the name of his father. De Rossi has strength. The world is so big, can''t find a place to stay?


    "Humph, in fact, the Roma team has some sincerity towards me. I can see how much the Serie A champions of last season valued me as an 18-year-old player? It¡¯s just that my father wanted me to put on Rome. Only jerseys."


    "Don''t you want to go back to Rome?"


    "One day the crazy lion don¡¯t want me, don¡¯t take me seriously, I¡¯m going to have no future here, I¡¯ll go back to Italy, or go to Spain, grass, the weather in London is disgusting, if you tell me Makelele to go to Real Madrid just because of Spain¡¯s I believe the weather."


    "Hahaha, maybe."


    Aldridge smiled, and De Rossi turned his head and asked, "Boss, I am in Millwall, will there be a future?"


    Aldridge''s eyes rolled back and he asked, "What do you think?"


    "Ah, it''s hard to tell, to be honest, the madman Gattuso is too strong, and I really can''t match him for the time being."


    When it comes to reality, De Rossi''s mind is still sober.


    Gattuso was grumpy and De Rossi would call him a lunatic. He joked with Pirlo on Gattuso and easily lit a barrel of explosives.


    "Makelele, Gattuso, my predecessor in this position is too high. In the first team, it seems that Alonso is also good. Whether the literary youth will play defensive midfielder or play midfielder in the future, I am also confused now. Now, boss, what do you say?"


    De Rossi really asked for advice.


    Alonso likes to read a book after training. His gentleman and teammates think this Spanish temperament is very literary.


    Aldridge chuckled and said: "I have said many times that each player is unique, you cannot be the next Makelele, or Gattuso, Alonso will not be that kind of player, he is more It¡¯s impossible to be Pirlo, you don¡¯t just stare at your teammates, you have to look a little higher. In the team, the player¡¯s ability is to play on the basis of complementarity. You play football with Alonso, and with Pedro Di played together, is it the same?"


    De Rossi shook his head and said: "It''s different. Playing with Pedretti, I can improve my offensive participation. Playing with Alonso, I tend to be more defensive."


    "Look, this is the difference. The ball is not for you to play alone, it is for a team."


    "Then you still haven''t answered my question, am I promising in Millwall? That lunatic is only 23 years old..."


    Although De Rossi is only 18 years old, Gattuso is also 23 years old. If Gattuso is an old lion, De Rossi is expected to be buried in the same period unless he changes his position.


    Aldrich raised his head and said after a moment of silence: "Don''t tell the story, it is estimated that this summer, we will lose Gattuso, as well as Pirlo, Materazzi, Zambrotta."


    "Eh? The rumors outside are true?"


    De Rossi looked surprised.


    "Oh, rumors? It was rumored that Pirlo would leave five years ago. They really want to go back to Italy for the next step of development. For them, here, the pursuit of honor has reached a very weak level, and now they are considering More, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s a better life. When I go back to my homeland, I speak Italian casually, I am supported by Italian fans, and I have more friends and family. There are many things that I can¡¯t get in England.¡±


    Aldridge said slightly sadly.


    De Rossi said after a moment of silence: "Then, do I have many opportunities?"


    "Danielle, in the next two years, it will be crucial for you. You will stand firm in the first team and perform well. You will be an indispensable player for Millwall in the next big club development cycle, but if you yourself Slack off, I can''t take another step in this most critical period, maybe, you really have no future when you are a mad lion, because when the opportunity comes, you don''t catch it, there must be someone else catching it, the opportunity won''t wait forever To you, talents and hard work are only the foundation for professional players. The key moment is the step where others walk in front of you. Perhaps the step behind you will become a gap of tens of thousands of miles in the future."


    De Rossi looked solemnly and nodded fiercely.


    Aldrich will not casually say this to the players, because it is likely to misunderstand the players, thinking what kind of promises the coach has made, and if the players plant themselves in the future, they will be blamed on the head coach.


    De Rossi understood in his heart what Aldridge expected of him. At this time, he could reveal in advance that Gattuso might leave in the summer. Even if he is not sure, it is not necessarily untargeted. This is a signal and a spiritual stimulation!


    Is it to make him at the age of 18, which is a splurge for young people, or cherish, struggle, or lame key points of twelve points.


    Opportunity will soon appear, but, can you grasp it, no one can help you, you can only rely on yourself!


    It was not early, and De Rossi got up and said goodbye, driving away his prince''s motorcycle with his thoughts flying.


    His mood at this time was about the same as when Pirlo packed his luggage and Aldridge flew to London.


    To stand out here and truly break out of your own sky.


    Unlike the small achievements that Pirlo thought of at the time, De Rossi''s belief was stronger, because the mad lion now is not the small temple of the year.


    Having a firm foothold here is well-known, enough to allow him to step directly into the ranks of first-class players, and even better, it is a world-class looking at the pinnacle of football!

 Chapter 725： C Ronald coach

    "Wow, the new captain of Millwall, Cristiano Ronaldo, who is only 16 years old! He did a great job today, and although he was not impressive from his last appearance, he did well on the striker line. In response, seeing his pass to Villa, Vegambi''s defender flew out to intercept, the toe is estimated to be a millimeter away, but still let the ball pass, Villa put the ball into the goal, Milwa In the 79th minute, I finally reversed the score and led 2-1 away!"


    Millwall had just joined the FA Cup team and was almost shocked by the shock!


    They came to challenge Vegambi away and encountered great difficulties.


    The reason is that no one expected the pouring rain!


    From the start of the game, the Millwall coaching staff screamed that the weather forecast broadcaster was a bitch, and what he said was just fart!


    Preparing for the game, you will definitely understand the weather conditions, and even go to predict the scientific issues such as wind direction and wind speed according to the situation of the stadium, which will inevitably have an impact on the game.


    The intelligence collector is not a god. What is the weather? The data can only be collected according to the local weather forecast. The intelligence information that was prepared before the game yesterday shows clearly that it will be a sunny day today!


    Aldridge was poured out of a soup chicken, and he had no plans to avoid the rain. In Vegambi¡¯s small stadium, fans all wore raincoats in the stands.


    As the head coach, he hated the situation more than this. It was not that he was afraid of rain, but it was unexpected that it suddenly began to rain. This has a great influence on the arrangement of tactics before the game. It can even overturn everything that was studied and prepared yesterday. !


    For example, he sent Ribery, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Villa to partner with the Trident today. Under normal circumstances, two wingers will be played with modern wingers. Multiple dribbling and breakthroughs torn apart the opponent''s defense line in part.


    After this heavy rain, the venue is wet and slippery, which has a great impact on the dribbling. The high-speed dribbling, changing direction, emergency stop and sharp rotation, the player is easy to slip, can he still play like this? Certainly not!


    What is more unexpected is that a pool of water was accumulated near the Millwall big penalty area line in the first half. The opponent passed a pass to this area. The ball was suddenly slowed by the water to 80%. Balzali was chasing In the process, the opponent had already passed the opponent''s forward, but the sudden stop of the ball was equivalent to shaking him. He stopped again and turned around, slipping to the ground. The opponent''s striker had given up, and the ball appeared in front of him magically. , Rushed up and closed his eyes and came a kick, **** luck hit a dead end, Vegambi opened the record for the first time.


    Aldrich not only ordered the team to abandon yesterday¡¯s tactical arrangements after the start of the game, but also had to redesign the tactics on the spot and replaced the main lineup. He only needed to make a few gestures to lead this backup lineup. Ripped his throat and yelled, and even seized the opportunity to call the player in front of him and raise his face.


    It wasn''t until the second half that Millwall was completely adjusted. The opponent guaranteed a score of 1:0, and Millwall used the rainy environment today to frequently shoot long shots.


    In the second half, Kaka''s 5th long-range long shot finally hit a tricky round. The earth''s long-range shot broke the goal. The threat of the ball was not too big, but the friction accelerated after the shot, but the goalkeeper made a slow rescue.


    After equalizing the score, Aldridge made the team calm down and patiently created opportunities through short pass cooperation.


    Ronaldo and Ribery have cultivated a good understanding between the youth team and the reserve team. To say who has the best relationship on the court in Ronaldo, it must be Ribery. Even if they leave the court, the two will not say hello Will say one more word.


    But on the court, in teamwork, Ronaldo liked Ribery the most, because the other side assisted him, with Ronaldo as the main player, and Ribery assisted.


    Ribery''s characteristics are not particularly prominent now, and he has a certain accomplishment in the combination of man and ball, but the overall situation of the game, the timing is not obvious, so he can''t see the characteristics, so when he fixedly assisted Ronaldo, he played very well The task of the game is simple. Finding a chance to give Ronaldo the ball is over. At other times, he is left alone, but he is at a loss.


    The ball that reversed the score was C Ronaldo and Ribery came to the same side. After two consecutive matches, C Ronaldo entered the penalty area and then passed a pleasing slash to the earth. Villa played the killer. Character.


    The game was exhausting and the physical energy was exhausted quickly. The game had not yet reached 80 minutes. The players on the field were already falling, especially the offensive players.


    On a rainy day, the energy consumption is fast, and the exhausted Ronaldo is muddy. The white jersey of Millwall is almost the same as the black and gray, but when he sees the goal of Villa, he rushes over and throws Villa down. On the ground, other Millwall players also rushed up.


    They all sighed: This game is too **** hard!


    No wonder they had this idea, even Aldridge wiped the rain on his face after seeing the goal, and cursed two swear words in his mouth, as if venting his anger.


    Reversing the score, Aldridge made a substitution immediately, replacing Ronaldo and Ribery, but neither of them could run anyway.


    "Eh? Cristiano Ronaldo, who was replaced in the rain, seems to have forgotten something. He should give the captain''s armband to his teammates, but he walked directly to the sidelines, and no one reminded him. For the rest of Millwall, there is no captain on the court."


    In fact, whether or not there is a captain has no effect on the game.


    Aldrich didn¡¯t know if Cristiano Ronaldo was deliberate, but regardless of him, Cristiano Ronaldo performed to satisfy him anyway, especially when the team was behind, he really used the action to drive the team like a captain. In Milwall, only the guard''s jersey was dirtier than Ronaldo''s jersey.


    Aldrich wanted to pat his shoulder when Ronaldo ended up. Ronaldo hid, Aldridge looked at him, but he nodded when Rodriguez blinked his right eye, his expression was still very serious.


    When he really became the captain, he immediately showed the captain''s prestige.


    Aldridge laughed dumbly and came up with an unreasonable thought: What about this kid?


    Ribery''s expression was much better when he got off the court. Although he smiled a little horror, he was patted on the shoulder by Aldridge and took the warm coat from the assistant coach. After sitting down, he talked enthusiastically with his teammates. .


    At the last moment of the game, Vigan defeated the army, and Millwall got more chances to fight back, better.


    Unfortunately, due to the rainy day, the two excellent opportunities were spoiled by the players, especially Kaka''s own foot fell in a single counterattack in a counterattack. At the end of the shot, the ball was almost empty, the ball was directly kicked to the opponent''s goalkeeper, and he fell. On the ground, Vergambi''s home fans did not want to laugh at Kaka, but instead made Aldridge nervous for a while.


    Don''t hurt!


    Fortunately, Kaka stood up on his own, and it looked like he was not injured.


    Millwall eventually struggled to beat Vegambi 2-1 away to advance to the next round of the FA Cup.


    Although it had been raining for more than an hour, Aldridge was not soaked, and the warm coat was of good quality and rainproof.


    In an interview after the game, Aldridge was asked about the team''s performance in the game. He replied: "The boys are working hard and must admit that the game is much more difficult than we thought. The impact of the rain is very large. , But the players have overcome this, they deserve to win, today¡¯s valuable experience in this game will help them grow and improve, FA Cup? We will try our best to fight, Millwall never give up, but we also Don¡¯t be arrogant and say that you must win the championship. You know, Millwall has too many games this season, and now it is a four-line battle! This is a test for the team, we will work hard to overcome all difficulties!"


    The new season began in mid-August, and now just the new year, Millwall has played 35 official games in four and a half months!


    An average of 8 games per month!


    And this is not a national team match.


    It can be said that Millwall almost doubles every week!


    Now playing in the FA Cup and having to play the semi-finals for two rounds at the end of the month, the density of the game will be greater, so Audridge is not full of words, and has not released any rhetoric.


    But after he finished the interview, when the player was about to leave, Ronaldo changed his casual clothes, carrying a backpack, and reversing a cap on his head, the reporter waved at him, Ronaldo''s expression was cold, but he was fart. Walked past.


    "Congratulations, Cristiano Ronaldo, you have created another history in the history of the Millwall club. Before you were the youngest player to play on behalf of Millwall, and now you have become the most in the club¡¯s first team official game. Young captain, what do you think?"


    Ronaldo said confidently: "It was the boss who gave me the captain''s armband. He made a correct decision. He knew I was trustworthy. I would do everything to help the team win. Of course, I believe I can do it. Come, thank you boss."


    "Today''s game you dedicated the assists of lore goals. How would you rate your performance?"


    "It''s okay. The team wins. This is the most important thing. We did it. Today''s field is too bad. After the rain, it is not like a football field, but we still won because we are stronger."


    "The future? You advanced to the next round in the FA Cup."


    "This is just the beginning, our goal is to win the championship, we will achieve this goal at the end of the season."


    ...


    Aldrich did not know that Ronaldo accepted the interview, but on the second day after returning to London, the news compared him with Ronaldo¡¯s post-match interview content, and the popular media said that Aldridge did not have Ronaldo. Guts!


    Aldridge called Andrew.


    "Hey, hello, should you send someone to teach Ronaldo how to face the media?"


    "Well, I saw the content of his interview today and realized it too. Rest assured, I will leave the rest to me."


    "It was originally your job as a broker!"


    Aldridge sighed after hanging up the phone, then shook his head and smiled.


    Cristiano Ronaldo is still young and furiously bullfighting. It is inherently problematic to evaluate the simpleness of Vegambi¡¯s course. The facts are the facts, but since you won the game, why bother to make trouble? what is the benefit?


    In addition, Ronaldo said that the FA Cup is going to win the championship. It sounds to improve morale, but it will also put pressure on his teammates. Now, he can¡¯t get his turn to say this. Southgate can say that Nedved can Say, the premise is that they played.


    Millwall is actually training with the FA Cup. If Aldridge really wants to concentrate on the FA Cup, he will naturally release the championship and then take out the strongest lineup to fight for, but obviously retain his strength and return. Words to win the championship, in case it''s planted, isn''t this lifting a stone and hitting one''s foot?


    There is no doubt that Ronaldo is a little pitted Aldridge.


    The Portuguese kid¡¯s public relations skills need to be developed. Don¡¯t ask for trouble. Say something that will lead to controversy, such as the promotion of Gao Fushuai, what to say, ¡°I have money, I look good, I play well, and others are jealous of me. "


    Some words are facts, but facts are not necessarily liked by the public.

 Chapter 726： Acquire Mad Lion?

    At the beginning of the new year, Millwall is as described in Fleet Street: moving forward steadily, the mad lion dynasty has not yet faced a challenge!


    This season is more stable than any previous season, not only reflects this from the record, but also includes impressions, that is, the club''s image, the biggest change in the team''s overall strength is the increase in bench thickness.


    It doesn''t matter how many people are on the bench, but how much talent is available is the most critical.


    Millwall''s first team personnel are not crowded, but the backup players are all useful. Especially the growth of Metselde, Balzali, and Alonso during the season, allowing the Lions to deal with regular injuries. Stop situation.


    The league continued to advance, the first round of the League Cup semi-final draw with Tottenham in White Hart Lane, the next round of calls to return to the home to advance to the finals one after another, the fans who pay attention to the fans of the Lions focus on the date is the end of February League Cup final.


    After the arrival of February, the second stage of the Champions League group stage quickly opened the curtain. This year is the World Cup year. The European League will come to an end sooner, so the European schedule is also relatively premised for some days.


    Millwall will be visiting Munich in the first battle, challenging the old friend Bayern Munich.


    Aldrich¡¯s days are still in step by step, the club¡¯s work task is easier, now thinking more about the national team, before the World Cup, there will be one or two warm-up games every month, he intends to during this time, one Field training, that is, the time for the substitute players to run in, a competitive state to keep the main lineup and tacit understanding, such a cycle, as for the record, warm-up game, it does not matter, FIFA points, Aldridge never cares.


    The evening before leaving Munich, Aldridge accidentally received a call from his elder brother Barnett.


    "Come to dinner at my house and introduce a friend to you."


    "Huh? What kind of friends?"


    "I will know when I come."


    "only myself?"


    "Uh, let''s go to the family party another day. Today you will come alone. Dinner is also the three of us."


    "Ok."


    Aldridge hung up the phone and sent a text message to Ewen. He drove outside of London.


    On the road, he seemed to be disappointed. It is expected that the friends introduced by Barnett might have nothing to do with him, and it might be a boring meal again.


    But Barnett''s return to London surprised him.


    Barnett no longer lives in West London, but bought an old castle in a secluded place outside London, surrounded by idyllic scenery. Is the noble style? Can''t see it, but it''s a little low-key seclusion, the mysterious taste of the rich.


    Aldrich drove into the castle, he did not like to live in such a place, the surroundings were too deserted, and it was easy to be lonely.


    The housekeeper in the old castle greeted Aldridge courteously and led him directly to the top floor of the old castle. It seems that the dinner was on the rooftop.


    Aldrich couldn''t figure out what Barnett''s tone was. Although it was spring, it was still freezing cold, blowing cold wind on the rooftop for dinner?


    He has been here, the space is vast, specially repaired, there are flowers planted along the edge of the fence, and there is a boundless sky above the head. Walking to the edge of the fence can overlook the surrounding idyllic scenery. The scenery at dusk is the best, at night. , A dark, nothing to appreciate.


    When he stepped on the rooftop, the lights were soft and poetic. He saw Barnett and another person standing on the edge of the rooftop talking and laughing. Looking at the backs of the two men in this suit, Aldridge walked over and listened with ease. At the footsteps, the two turned around.


    When Aldridge saw another person, a friend in Barnett''s mouth, he suddenly froze.


    This man, he knows!


    To be precise, a long time ago, Aldridge knew who he was, and the other party did not know himself.


    "Ha, Aldridge, it was just right. Let me introduce you..."


    "No, I''ll come by myself, Aldrich Hall, meet for the first time, and I''m glad to meet you, Roman Abramovich."


    Looking at the other person''s hand, Aldridge naturally shook his hand and said, "Good luck, good luck."


    The butler arranged the servant to set the table, and the carefully prepared meals were put on the table one by one. The dishes were good and the wine was good, but Aldridge''s thoughts flew, and he could not understand what happened when he suddenly met Abu at this time.


    The three men took their seats and began to enjoy dinner. How did Barnett and Abu know each other? What was their relationship? Aldridge was not interested in investigating it. Anyway, the three now sit together and eat dinner happily.


    Most of the time, Abu and Barnett were talking, and the topic revolved around personal interests. Both of them are rich people. If they can talk together, Aldridge seems out of place.


    It is estimated that there is a butler next to it, and the chat content is bland. After a dinner, Abu stood up and said goodbye, and said to Aldridge before leaving: "Aldridge, I am also a person who likes football and has the opportunity We communicate more and more."


    "Well, definitely."


    Aldrich said nothing and watched Abu leave with Barnett.


    After he left, Aldridge moved a chair from the dining table to the edge of the roof, sat down, put his feet on the fence, lit a cigarette, and inexplicably said, "What''s the point of this meal?"


    Barnett leaned back against the edge of the fence and lit a cigarette. He smiled and said, "What''s the problem with getting to know another friend?"


    "Friend? Ha ha."


    "Aldridge, how much is Millwall worth?"


    Aldridge frowned and asked, "Why do you ask this?"


    "I just want to know."


    "Conservative estimate, 800 million pounds."


    Aldridge said nothing.


    Maybe his calculation method is wrong, but compared horizontally, the price is almost the lowest, Manchester United can sell 600 million pounds, Millwall hardware is not worse than Manchester United, the first team plus youth players, the total value far exceeds Manchester United, Mill Wall is also located in London, and the future is higher than that of Manchester in terms of prices and earnings.


    Barnett frowned slightly, and said, "That''s so high? Why is there an agency that evaluates Millwall''s value at around ¡ê580 million?"


    Aldridge shrugged: "It''s normal, they only evaluate the current value, not the potential. It''s like the land price in London is getting more and more expensive. Millwall spent 200 million to build a stadium. In their eyes, the maximum is only 300 million. In another two years, the stadium may have reached 500 million worth, and the value of players. The evaluation agency must not dare to overestimate. They may think that Henry is only worth 30 million. If Millwall is sold, 40 million is just the beginning. It¡¯s just the price. Millwall is worth more every day. Having said that, what do you ask about this? Could it be?¡±


    Aldrich said something, and Barnett did not hide it. He said frankly: "Although some 800 million pounds are a little bit, but if you are willing to sell the club, someone will be able to afford this price, and give you 50 million to 1 more. 100 million pounds is also possible."


    "Abu?"


    "Well, it''s him."


    Aldridge flicked the cigarette butts, stood up and walked out, Barnett saw it, and was surprised: "What''s wrong?"


    Aldrich turned around and said in disappointment: "You asked me what happened? I still want to ask what happened to you? I have invested nearly eight years in Millwall, and you want me to put Mill on one meal Wall sold it to others? WTF! What benefits did he give?"


    Barnett didn¡¯t expect Aldridge to respond like this, and quickly said: ¡°I think this is a good deal. I¡¯ve heard from Andrew. You plan to retire this summer, right? The club sold, how much did you make in less than ten years? The original ¡ê30 million was not worth mentioning, you made more than ¡ê1 billion!"


    Barnett¡¯s calculation method is no problem. If Audrey sells Millwall, he only sells the ownership. The funds in the club account can be cleared at his own convenience at any time. With the income from the sale, he earned more than 1 billion pounds. .


    Aldridge made a sneer, and asked, "What''s the use of my billion-dollar bills? I can''t run out of money now. Give me another hundred thousand, one million, ten million, one hundred million, and I won''t Make me happy for a minute!"


    "You can create a more brilliant career, you can leave this career to future generations, to Earl, to Burt, let you..."


    "That''s your ambition, it has nothing to do with me! I think it''s good now, you can say that I have no ambitions, I can say that I am wealthy, I don''t care!"


    Aldridge retorted hard, without any embarrassment or shame.


    Barnett has money, Abu has money, maybe 10 billion, maybe 20 billion, so what?


    Aldrich¡¯s personal account now has more than 300 million pounds, and he is satisfied. Anyway, he can¡¯t spend it. He doesn¡¯t envy people who are richer than him and gives him more money. He does not know how to spend it. He There is a comfortable big house to live in, there is a partner who respects each other, there are two cute and sometimes mischievous sons, and a job that can make him tired and satisfied, thinking and enjoying, lost and excited, this is his life, It''s all about him. He doesn''t feel that he will give up this and pursue the so-called higher-grade life will make him happier.


    Barnett was shocked, and for a long time he was speechless. After a minute or so, he sighed and said softly: "Aldrich, I''m sorry, I didn''t want to interfere with you, I, I, I just, just... "


    "Just what?"


    "Just think you are a football coach, even a football club owner, I think this is a waste to you."


    Aldrich closed his eyes for a few seconds, then calmed down after opening his eyes, and said lightly: "Maybe you have always looked down on the industry I am engaged in. In your eyes, this kind of sports club is just a toy in the hands of the rich. If you want to , You can buy a lot of clubs and succeed at will. I just want to tell you that for me, my work, I have invested 15 years of enthusiasm, I love my work, you can always look down on my work, But it can never make me the same as you."


    Barnett smiled bitterly and said, "Now I know it is indeed impossible. Few people in the world can refuse the temptation of 1 billion pounds. I don''t know if I should admire you or call you a fool in my heart! Tell you the truth. Abu wants to buy your club, and I very much hope that he will buy it. In this way, you will have the opportunity to withdraw from this industry. Then, our brothers joined forces to start a bigger Hall family business. Now in the United States, the Internet industry is changing dramatically Among them, if you can come to help me, no, not help me, we fight side by side, I believe that maybe ten years later, maybe you can earn, it is not 1 billion pounds, it is 10 billion, 50, even 100, 500. However, it seems that you do not have this idea."


    Aldrich heard this and shook his head: "For your career, I am just a layman."


    "Aldrich, you are by no means a layman. Your private account agency investment is linked to our company, OMG, how much money did you make? How many times did your capital double?"


    "I don''t want to discuss this, it doesn''t make sense. My money is enough, how much can you earn, as long as you don''t become a beggar, I don''t care."


    "Hehehe, thanks to you, if I will be a beggar in this life, I would rather commit suicide than face you."


    Barnett walked in front of Aldridge and put his hands on his shoulders. He solemnly said, "I apologize to you, can you forgive me?"


    Aldridge looked at him and asked, "Can I beat you up?"


    "Don''t be stupid, you can''t beat me."


    "Perhaps."

 Chapter 727： Abu

    "Knowing Roman was an accident. About a year ago, I had two friends in the United States who were trapped in Russia. I looked for a way to rescue them and learned that there was a character like Roman in the Kremlin, which was out of mine. It is expected that he extended a helping hand without asking for rewards. Later, when I learned about his wealth, I realized that people like him should not care about material rewards. Through that, we became friends. Although we have no connection in our career, we are really Became a private partner, and the two of us spent Christmas together in Dubai."


    On the rooftop of the castle, the brothers smoked and chatted against the edge of the fence. Barnett cut off the idea of ??letting Audridge withdraw from the football industry.


    After hearing his words, Aldridge thought carefully.


    More than a year ago, Russia was at the beginning of a period of change.


    When Putin just came to power, there will definitely be chaos, but the next step is the beginning of the decade of Russian revival, which is "Putin ZTE".


    It is expected that Barnett¡¯s two friends should be Americans and businessmen. With Putin¡¯s thunderous means of economics after taking office, maybe these two Americans have any bargaining transactions in Russia.


    Although the United States and Russia were the leaders of the Cold War camp, the exchanges between the two sides, especially the United States'' attitude towards Russia, is by no means an old-fashioned and indifferent attitude.


    You must know that the failure of Russia¡¯s privatization before Putin came to power led to the bad situation of oligarchs controlling the lifeline of the country¡¯s economy. The policy blueprint for the initial publicization to privatization came from the hands of two American economic experts. The Russians hoped that the state-owned industry would become An international company such as the United States, which is publicly held by the masses, has allowed oligarchs to take advantage of the loophole, which has become a commonplace for people to complain. The chaos requires great governance. Putin''s rise to power is the prelude to a new era in Russia.


    The two American businessmen should be out of luck. They encountered Putin''s remedial stage of killing chickens and monkeys. Unexpectedly, due to chance, Barnett and Abu formed a "friendship".


    "Do you understand the political situation on the Russian side?"


    Barnett swallowed the clouds and asked leisurely.


    Aldridge nodded, then shook his head again.


    He should understand the general situation, but the specific content is not of interest, even if a lot of information can be seen by watching TV, because the Western media is highly free and open, although not without secrets.


    At this stage, Putin is focusing on suppressing oligarchs and catering to people''s psychology of killing the rich and helping the poor. The Russian people''s hatred for the rich is very serious. Even if Putin has been described by the international media as a tyrant, Russian people will still feel that Putin is kind to oligarchs.


    "Belezovsky is the nobleman that Roman hit. Without him, there would be no Roman today. However, last year Berezovsky came to Britain to take refuge, which made Roman feel a deep sense of crisis."


    Barnett''s words made Aldridge couldn''t help but whispered: "Retribution!"


    What is an oligarch?


    To put it bluntly is to embezzle the property of the people of the country and put the wealth belonging to the people in their pockets.


    This is true of Berezovsky, as is Abu.


    If he was a Chelsea fan in his last life, he must like Abu, there is no reason to hate him, because without Abu, Chelsea is finished, as for the negative impact of Abu intervening in the team, as a fan, you must understand and accept, because compared to the club Bankruptcy and liquidation, falling into the abyss like Leeds United, Chelsea''s fate has been so good.


    However, as an ordinary person, Aldrich cannot like Abu because you will not want to be around you. There is such an oligarch that plunders the public interest and becomes rich.


    Berezovsky came to the United Kingdom to take refuge last year. The news reported for a while. Odri? knew that this kind of refuge was terrible. To put it bluntly, he spent his old age in a comfortable cell. Berezovsky stayed in England. What are you afraid of? Of course, I am afraid that Putin has sent overseas agents to arrest wanted criminals globally, like a movie plot? No, this is what happened.


    Abu is now a celebrity in the Kremlin. It does not mean that he will always be in the future. He has a sense of crisis and is very normal. He is oligarch with a background similar to his background. He has fallen off one by one. He is next to Putin. He is really a companion. With the tiger.


    "One day, Roman asked me, what is the most influence and attention in the UK? I take it for granted: football. This makes him very interested, in fact, I know that he is not a fan, the key point is influence and attention degree."


    Aldridge nodded in approval.


    Such as what Abu likes to watch football after watching a game, fly over the Thames and land at Stamford Bridge, such a good story, listen to it, don''t take it seriously.


    Not to mention how big his investment is, just because of his sensitive identity, like football, he came to Britain to spend a lot of money?


    "He has already started to acquire Russian football clubs, but he found that he has no influence on investing in football clubs in Eastern Europe, so he wants to come to the UK to see that, exactly, my brother has a team called Millwall, It is the most watched team in the world. Although it is a little more expensive, if you are willing to sell it, he will definitely buy it. The sensation of this transaction may bring him unparalleled attention and influence."


    Audrey recalled carefully, if remember correctly, Abu should also be the boss of the Moscow Central Army, after the acquisition of Chelsea, it will be turned from dark to dark, otherwise UEFA will not not intervene, only to switch to sponsorship rather than the face On the owner.


    Abu needs attention and influence. Investing in football can bring these things, but investing in football in Moscow has basically no effect. The first is the ball market environment, the second is news communication, and the third is the attraction of the team itself Power, even if he scored 1 billion in Moscow, it is useless. The competitiveness of the Russian football league is there. The overall is not improved. The development of a super giant is also limited. Even in mainstream leagues like the Bundesliga, Bayern When the Munich family was alone, the media just joked: just one **** ate the bugs one by one.


    First, the United Kingdom is not as confrontational as the United States and Russia in the political environment. Second, the United Kingdom is the European news center. Finally, the influence of British football is far ahead of the football of other countries on the basis of spread. This is not equated with the strength of football. .


    As for Aldrich if the base price is 800 million pounds, and ask for 1 billion pounds, will Abu buy it?


    Aldrich feels that 70% of the other parties will buy.


    Think about how much he spent on buying Chelsea? 150 million acquisitions, plus 80 million debt repayments, which is 230 million pounds. At that time, Chelsea¡¯s commercial value was negligible, and the team¡¯s lineup strength was very limited. Together with the stadium value, commercial chain, and team hardware construction, including In all aspects of youth training and training bases, Millwall is ready-made, and it is the best level. More importantly, the Millwall championship is a basket, Chelsea? It has been almost half a century ago to win the league championship. The invisible influence, one is the sky, the other is the ground, 1 billion pounds sold, Aldridge thinks it is cheap.


    However, it is estimated that Millwall is not worth 600 million pounds.


    This kind of valuation is not enough for reference, unless the club owner actively sells it, because the reality is very simple: give you 600 million pounds, can you build a Millwall comparable to the present? Not to mention the team''s honours over the years, just the new stadium plus the lineup, these 600 million pounds are estimated to be impossible!


    "Oh, he wants to be a playful and wealthy man. Indeed, here, anything that touches football can become news and last a long time."


    Aldridge flicked soot, casually said, like the old pervert of Manchester United boss Edwards, he disguised himself and went to the female toilet to peep and was caught. This can become a lively news for a long time, right or wrong is not important, in the football circle People, the topics and influence they can create are extraordinary.


    Barnett smiled and said nothing.


    Putin sanctions oligarchs, in addition to Li Wei and appeasing the people, there is also a fatal factor. The oligarchs try to unite to affect the political situation in Russia. This is considered a dead end.


    Abu broke up with the oligarchs and stood on the side of Putin, but he also wanted to live in peace, came to the UK to make himself a celebrity, and also sent a signal to the Russian side: I am not interested in politics, I am more interested in football , I have no threat to anyone!


    No matter what Abu thinks, Aldridge has no idea to sell the club anyway.


    He even thought about one day when he was old and doing nothing. It was like Arthur, who appeared on the stands of the Millwall game as usual every week as a regular activity in daily life.


    Although he can do the same by selling the club, he always feels that he will lose a very important feeling. It should be an emotional connection deep in his heart.


    "Aldrich, Roman only needs influence and attention. He has no intention to hostilely grudge with anyone. If, if one day he still came to England, for example, he bought Manchester United, then please don¡¯t treat him as an enemy. , Help him as much as possible, he helped me after all."


    Before leaving, Barnett said to Aldridge with a serious heart.


    Aldrich said: "He just needs influence? Then, I can help him. In front of the media, if he is a person in the football circle, I will list him as an enemy, it will bring him influence, I scold With two sentences, he will be able to appear on the headlines of a week."


    Barnett stunned and immediately smiled bitterly: "Just do it, you have more experience than me in this regard, you deal with the media every day, anyway, I don''t think how much hatred the football circle can forge, verbal confrontation, worthless Mention."


    In his eyes, it is possible for money to form a deadly hatred. In the circle of football and the sunrise in the east and the rain in the west, how can there be endless hatred?


    What if it was a feud like West Ham and Millwall?


    Can West Ham United hinder Millwall? Will Millwall in turn kill West Ham United?


    No, the football world only has competition, and there is no real life-and-death struggle.


    Aldridge drove home and soon forgot about the meeting with Abu.

 Chapter 728： In his own way

    The Millwall team arrived in Munich with great enthusiasm, and a large number of fans were waiting outside the airport to greet them. Millwall''s fan organizations around Europe rose like mushrooms a few years ago. Today, it has grown to a certain scale and is like a guest today. In Munich, many fans outside the airport welcomed them with slogans.


    Millwall, who has not defeated so far this season, undoubtedly came to Munich with ambition and the true nature of the king.


    Although it was the second stage of the Champions League, Bayern Munich and Millwall met for the fourth consecutive year. The two teams were described by the media as rivals. In this game, the two teams met again after the Champions League final last season. For Munich, this is a battle of revenge!


    At today''s pre-match press conference, Heathfield preached that he had found a way to restrain Millwall to play an exciting game in Munich and give the defending champion a head-on!


    Aldrich¡¯s response was uncommon: ¡°In my career with Millwall, I have had five encounters with Bayern Munich. I have only lost once. I think the possibility of losing to Bayern Munich a second time exists. But not in tomorrow''s game, the current Bayern Munich are no longer capable of defeating Millwall, although they are strong."


    Bayern Munich is not the only player in the league this season. It was like fighting against them until the last moment with Schalke 04. The team with his wrench this season is also from the Ruhr area, named Dortmund. As for the original Leverkusen, who will perform well this season in history, still lacks a few key players, and the league is still at the top of the league, but it obviously has no ability to touch the championship.


    Millwall prepared for the game with confidence, and came to Bayern Munich at the next day for the Champions League.


    Before the game, Aldridge and Hessfield shook hands and shook hands. It stands to reason that the two met for the fourth year in a row in the European Championship. They were already very familiar with each other. They talked a few times last time, and today they even have one sentence No greetings.


    It''s not that Aldridge is not enthusiastic, but that he is a guest. It should be the owner who shows his demeanor to treat the guests.


    Heathfield''s face was dignified, which made Aldridge confused. Before the game was played, it looked like the sky would collapse. As for?


    He looked around the pitch and vaguely guessed the reason.


    It has nothing to do with the game!


    Heathfield is under pressure.


    The pressure in this area comes from public opinion and criticism.


    The dark side of the football circle is very dirty, as a part of society, it is no different here.


    Fighting, drug addiction, prostitutes, gambling, cheating, cheating, etc., not only happen to players, coaches, club management, executives, and, in general, practitioners of various roles, all of these illegal or moral Intolerable phenomenon.


    It''s just that coaches such as Heathfield, who are highly respected and reputable and well-known, such as the Russian, have also acted as a kind of indiscriminate behavior, which will make people shocked, and the infamy and condemnation will be more intense.


    Shortly after the passing of 01, but in 01, the Hidden Field scandal broke out. He has maintained a relationship with a German model for more than 3 years, and the woman did an abortion for him...


    The handsome and handsome, ruined wisely, there are fans in the stands now playing slogans mocking Heathfield, er, not a fan of the Lions, it is estimated that the German locals do not like Heathfield fans, I think it should not be Bayern fans, anyway, this Some tickets are sold to neutral fans.


    Aldridge was in a better mood, not gloating, but thinking that he should not be hated again. Heathfield''s rhetoric before the game, Aldridge retaliated, this is a normal phenomenon. A few words of greeting, don''t mix public affairs into personal relations, this should be a very professional attitude.


    He has some sympathy for Heathfield. In terms of public moral standards, extramarital affairs are definitely wrong, but in the football world, personal privacy is infinitely magnified. External criticism occupies the moral commanding heights, and he can be unscrupulous and impatient to understand the facts. The truth, just like Aldridge, he and Melanie took their children to the playground together, and was photographed by the British paparazzi. Then in the tabloids, they reported that Aldridge and Melanie revived, and then Aldridge It becomes a typical example of the opposite side of a two-footed boat. A slightly better one will give Audridge a romantic label.


    Aldrich is accustomed to dealing with the media, but his habit does not mean he likes it. He feels very helpless to expose privacy endlessly, exaggerating facts or fabricating facts, and can only bear it.


    This treatment is comparable to the public censorship of the US presidential candidate. The whole person has been exposed to the public for a long time. Not only is it testing your business ability, but it will also conduct an ethical review of your personal words and deeds. like?


    Speaking of that, Bayern Munich is really a gathering place for flamboyant figures. Kahn and Matteus don''t mention it. The emperor Beckenbauer sitting in the stands has a long history of flamboyant lace.


    There is also Millwall. Ronaldinho is the most famous now. He is smart, he will not engage in triangle love like York once. Ronaldinho is romantic, but people can¡¯t grasp the handle. ,So what? There are neither two boats on one foot nor the gathering for prostitution, and, I don¡¯t know how many women who have had a relationship with him are "one shot" and become popular. Everyone takes their own needs. Widowed, it is estimated that I just want to earn eyeballs and then gain popularity.


    Times are different, and managing the team cannot be like it used to be.


    Imagine a player with a salary of more than 200,000 pounds a month, you let him leave the court to be a low-key good man like Nedved, Larson, is it possible? Sorry, everyone''s pursuit is different.


    Most people still pursue hedonism, earn money, why make big money? Merry and happy is the main purpose of life. If you are a multimillionaire, you still have to obey the rules and regulations. This is like Qi Tian Da Sheng put on a tight spell, some people can accept, some people can not accept.


    Aldrich can''t ask players to have a pure personality. Ronaldinho can''t live without a woman, and there are all kinds of women. Will Aldridge despise him? No, it was Ronaldinho''s freedom.


    As long as Ronaldinho abides by the rules of the team to ensure the quality of training, the quality of the game, and others, who controls that much? Who can manage?


    It''s like Joe Cole struggling with others in the nightclub. Aldrich didn''t say anything to Joe Cole after the incident. He didn''t need him to explain it, nor did he have to understand what happened.


    Tell him a hundred times, it is better to fine him half a month''s salary directly to make him wary!


    And the punishment must be based. Joe Cole has no problem in and out of the nightclub, but there are troubles. This is not allowed by the team rules and damages the club¡¯s image, so he will be punished.


    Sitting in the coach seat and watching the players from both sides appear, Aldridge was looking forward to it.


    "Oh, Heathfield said he found a way to restrain us. Can you guess what?"


    Aldridge turned around and asked, his voice full of excitement.


    Jenson shook his head: "Can''t guess, I watched the videos of Bayern Munich''s past three games. I think even if he is prepared, he hasn''t experimented in the league."


    "Oh, I think he might be taking risks, or gambling. A tactic that didn''t go through the drill and suddenly came out to face an opponent of our level is too risky."


    Klinsmann¡¯s words, Aldridge couldn¡¯t agree, he shook his head: ¡°If you have a group of players with particularly good technical and tactical qualities, then the new tactics will not take too much time, and maybe two days of training will be effective. And, I think Bayern Munich will definitely not be the main attack in the face of Millwall. The focus of the tactical secret is definitely not to transform the offense as the key link, otherwise, then it is really gambling."


    "That''s defense. 352, 442, 451. What new tricks can Bayern Munich make on defense?"


    Jenson asked curiously, Aldridge smiled: "It''s just because I don''t know, I''m curious. Hessfield put the words out yesterday, and it made me wonder all night."


    "Hahaha, what if it was just a smoke bomb?"


    "That''s my bad luck, he also succeeded, disturbing the enemy!"


    It is obviously impossible for Aldrich to change the team¡¯s technical and tactical play temporarily because Heathfield said yesterday that he found the secret to restrain Millwall, not to mention panic. If there is any psychological fluctuation, it is curiosity. Simply wondering how Heathfield would defeat himself.


    If there is an unexpected tactic to restrain Millwall, Aldridge will be very happy even if he loses today, because it will promote Millwall''s progress and allow him to improve his current tactics.


    Tactical game is to catch cats and mice.


    The narrator is introducing the starting list of both sides. The only disadvantage of Millwall today is that Henry and Larson are both missing due to injuries. The former is an injury in the league, the latter is the discomfort of the thigh muscles before training today. Millwall sent in Klose and Villa replaced.


    Bayern Munich is full of familiar faces, including Barak who broke with Real Madrid in the summer.


    Barack is becoming more and more important in the German team. In the year before the World Cup, he could not guarantee the playing time in Real Madrid, and then returned to Germany after joining the management team and joined Bayern.


    I didn''t pay attention before. At this time, I saw Bayern Munich''s starting player. Aldridge turned his head and said: "It''s really strange. Bayern Munich uses double forwards in the league?"


    "Well, Pizarro and Elber."


    "I got one today, Elber."


    After Aldridge finished speaking, the game began. He and his coaching staff carefully observed the situation on the field.


    Millwall''s away game, of course, takes a little time to enter the game, so after the opening, it will not pull away and attack.


    Heathfield stood on the sidelines and frequently commanded the team, while Aldridge sat on the coach''s bench.


    After watching the game for about 10 minutes, Aldridge looked weird. He looked around, and Klinsmann and Jenson all looked weird.


    Boas exclaimed: "I am grass! Isn''t Bayern Munich using the same tactics we used in the England national team? 4321."


    4321 is just a number, it does not mean that playing 4321 is a fixed mode, mainly looking at the situation and changes in the offensive and defensive system.


    Aldridge smiled his forehead a few times and then said, "Who of you thought about this possibility?"


    Jenson and Klinsmann shook their heads together.


    Aldridge thought about how the opponent would deal with Millwall all night, but he never thought that the opponent would use such a tactical strategy.


    There is nothing to say about the four-back system. Three backs, Hargreaves, Barak, Effenberg, plus double midfielders Sauer and Salihamidzic, single forward Elber.


    Bayern Munich in Heathfield intends to use his own way to restore his own body!

 Chapter 729： Game

    Aldridge''s mentality in the face of this game has subtly changed.


    Opponents use their unique tactics to restrain themselves.


    And Millwall and England are two completely different and extremely opposite tactics!


    Millwall''s offensive is extremely extreme, and the England national team is extremely anti-reverse.


    This subtle psychological activity can only be understood beyond words.


    Millwall players did not have any mood changes and would not be surprised by the opponent''s 4321 extreme anti-reverse tactics.


    Among the first players to play, only Southgate played for the England national team. Others could not imagine that the source of the tactical confrontation between the two players on the field came from Aldridge.


    Secondly, the opponents they encountered were mostly anti-anti-tactical strategies, and the same was true of the strong teams. Therefore, they were similar, and it was difficult to perceive the overall situation in detail.


    However, Bayern Munich put up such a formation, using such techniques and tactics, indeed caused a lot of trouble for Millwall, so that they encountered unprecedented snipers in the attack.


    Not to mention, Bayern Munich may be stronger than the England national team in the defense of the 4321 tactics developed by Aldrich at least.


    This comes from the role of Effenberg and Barak in the three-back system, both offensive and defensive!


    They are players with both offensive and defensive roles, but their position on the front, midfielder, and back is definitely different for the overall technical and tactical team. The front is more open when attacking, and the distribution of responsible areas during defense is finer. , The compressed back-field space is even narrower.


    How did other coaches develop tactics, Aldridge could not know without communication, he could only try to figure out the coach¡¯s tactical intentions through a large number of rematches on the road of learning. For such work, he had concentrated on doing for eight years. After that, he started coaching the club and used his previous experience to analyze his opponent''s work.


    And his own tactics are really a game of his own brain power.


    He could not formulate a tactic, only to imagine how delicate the new tactics will play, what kind of power, ideally, the technical and tactical operation, he must stand on the opposite side to think about how to limit the new tactics he came up with, and then Constantly carrying out brainstorms like cat and mouse, based on the pros and cons, constantly evolve and change, and finally finalize the stereotypes. There are no perfect tactics. He can only tailor the team to the most suitable and inspire the team¡¯s potential. Tactics.


    Millwall''s offensive is in full swing. Ronaldinho and Pirlo''s organization before and after, the dual-core configuration is the basis of the overall situation, the team basis is the triangle cooperation, that is, the triangle pass. This is a retrospective of Van Gaal''s training to shock the youth of European football. Army Ajax, in the future, there will be the core of the team of the Barcelona team offensive cooperation.


    On the football field, the long pass punching may be the most threatening in theory. However, with the development of the times, the success rate of long pass punching continues to decline, and it has evolved into the present and the future. In the future, partial triangle pass can guarantee the success rate. There is also a strong threat of offensive cooperation.


    In turn, Aldridge''s 4321 set by the England national team must first have a counterattack space before it can play a triangle pass. But the most important thing is defense. Aldrich reversed the offensive concept and used it in defense. .


    Four backs and three backs, such staggered positions, can form a lot of local three-legged defensive positions, greatly improving the fault tolerance rate, and can also strengthen the protection of the opponent through the triangle to pass the attack.


    Why did Millwall encounter a powerful sniper?


    The reason is also here. It is not that no team has put up a three-back, but the player''s ability is limited. The weaker three-back, it is purely based on the accumulation of defensive numbers.


    For example, in the face of some strong teams with mature technical and tactical players, almost no one in the other team will put up a three-pointer.


    Manchester United is Keane Gascols, a midfielder and a midfielder.


    Arsenal is a double midfielder.


    Barcelona, ??Real Madrid, such a team can not put a three-waist formation.


    The Italian team, whether it is 4321 or 4312, the middle 3, has not encountered a 3 midfielder, but a single midfielder plus double midfielder.


    Bayern Munich is so lined up today, and defending in the danger zone is hard to beat. Because Millwall¡¯s players are moving forward, they will fall into the trap of the three breadsticks. The most important Barack and Effenberg, tactics The literacy is extremely strong. Bayern Munich itself is not a team that highlights individuals, but relies on the whole. As Aldridge said, on the basis of the team, they run in tactics and cooperate. Their own obstacles are not great.


    Ronaldinho once again drove the ball on the left to break through Sagnol, dribbling inside the penalty area. At this time, Barak has recovered to run on Ronaldinho''s line to defend.


    Link was still in the wind, sealing Ronaldinho''s front, and Barak intercepted from the side.


    Ronaldinho¡¯s choices are not many, and there must be one outburst, but the more he moves forward, the smaller the breakthrough space is, especially Barack and Link are intending to form a joint defense. He can break through one, can he pass again One is hard to tell.


    There are almost no choices!


    Ronaldinho looked around the situation during the dribbling, and it was not possible to pass back Zambrotta from the same side, because Saniol, who was passed by him, chased behind him, he stopped the ball or kicked the heel, There is a big risk of being cut off directly.


    Normally, Barak intercepts as a midfielder, then there must be time in front of the defender line. Nedved or Pirlo can all respond at this point, but Ronaldinho sees that Hargreaves and Efenbo Gedu closed to this side, Nedved was stared to death, and Pirlo was still far away.


    Looking for Klose on the front line, it was a point-to-point impact. Link and Kuffel sandwiched Klose, and the later point Villa was followed closely by Lizarazu in the restricted area.


    If Ronaldinho wants to cross, he shouldn''t enter the penalty zone. It''s not easy to control the strength of the cross. The distance is short and the pass is light. It gives the opponent too much reaction time. The distance is moderate.


    Ronaldinho caught in the bag was in a dilemma. When hesitated, Barak stretched his foot to cut off his ball. Ronaldinho was horrified. After much thought, he instead delayed the fighter and gave the opponent an opportunity.


    Ronaldinho took the opportunity to decisively grab Barak. Regardless of whether he succeeded or not, he stretched his foot. Barack was tripped and fell to the ground. The referee whistled to signal Ronaldinho''s foul and gave Bayern Munich a set ball.


    Ronaldinho didn''t care, as long as the referee didn''t give him a card, he would accept it. This is a tactical foul!


    He made a sorry gesture to Barak in the process of retreating. It is difficult to say that he was not intentional, but he did not hurt others. This is true.


    Among the attack groups, Ronaldinho, who has the strongest ball control ability, has encountered such a dilemma, not to mention Villa on the other side, Klose in the middle.


    Villa is more miserable, he cuts in from the side, and his running position will be followed closely by Lizarazu, dare to control the ball? Must be lost within 3 seconds!


    Klose''s situation is even more terrible. In the static state, he was caught by Bayern''s double guards. With three waists in front, he could withdraw at any time. He seemed to be standing in the heart of the "Pentagon". His teammates from all directions wanted to find him. Ground pass cutting is impossible, unless it is a passing ball, he has a sense of presence.


    On the basis of compressing the opponent''s offensive space, Bayern Munich has also achieved a perfect cut of the player''s position to the offensive square formation. The effect of this cutting is clear, and the audience can also see that when Millwall''s offense is closer to Bayern Munich The restricted zone is more likely to fall into the situation of fighting alone, the pass can not find a point, even if a teammate comes over to respond, the opponent will keep up accordingly, resulting in a more dense local population.


    "Oh, Bayern Munich''s defense has worked very well today. Millwall didn''t actually score a goal in the first 25 minutes of the first half! A great chance was never created! Was it the impact of Henry and Larsen''s absence? Or Bayern? Munich really like the coach Hessfield said: found a way to restrain Millwall! Defensively, they did do a very successful job, and even the dangerous situation did not happen in front of the goal, but Bayern Munich''s attack appeared weak and weak! "


    Bayern Munich''s offense relies on counterattacks. They also want to play back as fast and fluidly as the England national team. But Millwall''s defense is also in place. What they do is also to cut the opponent''s offensive formation. Bayern Munich, due to its own limitations, is among the players. In terms of ability, especially in hiding the offensive point, it is not particularly well placed. Maybe Lizarazu''s sleeve can provide such an effect, but Sagnol on the other side can''t do it. Effenberg after all When he is old, Barak often rushes up, but Effenberg rarely participates in the offense. Perhaps, he is worried that he will go up and will not come back!


    Heathfield looked anxious on the sidelines.


    He really can''t make Bayern Munich copy the skills and tactics of the England national team. It is not easy to master the essence. If Bayern Munich can reach a maximum of 100 points under his ideal plan, now it has reached 80 points.


    The essence of this tactic is defense, defend first and then attack!


    Defense creates space, and then based on this to attack.


    Bayern Munich defended full marks, but the offense was not satisfactory.


    Sauer, Elber, and Salihamidzic have repeatedly fallen into single-handed combat in counterattacks. They have a lot of space, but they have little strength and it is difficult to connect.


    Heathfield was thinking on the sidelines, what was missing?


    Is it really a core character like Scholes who can connect the entire frontcourt in the offense?


    The formation is this way, the tactics are so demanding, but the difference in the players in the key position makes the quality of the tactics different.


    Scholes is the kind who sees that he doesn''t think he is different, but lacks him, and his sense of existence magnifies countless times.


    Thirty minutes passed in the first half. Heathfield was now thinking about how to improve the quality of the counterattack. The defense had reached a level that satisfied him. Just watching these half an hour can limit Millwall¡¯s offense. He couldn¡¯t be satisfied. .


    Just as he was thinking about it, Aldridge got up from the coach seat and walked to the sidelines. Heathfield was shocked and suddenly realized that my card came out, but the other party had not yet fought back!


    "Wow, Hall came to the sidelines, it seems that he was going to give Millwall instructions. In the past we have been accustomed to Hall standing on the sidelines to give orders, but this season, in most games, he is Sitting quietly on the coach seat makes us all miss him a little bit. Oh, everyone knows that when he comes to the sidelines, the game will definitely change. What is it? We will wait and see."


    Aldridge walked to the sidelines and made a very simple gesture with a big wave.


    withdraw!

 Chapter 730： Broad sky

    Millwall played very hard in the first half, and the players knew it well.


    This is probably the most difficult situation they have faced this season, and even the last two years.


    In the games they faced in the past, no matter what, they can at least create a good offensive opportunity and create a shot opportunity. In the process of quantitative basis and pursuit of quality, they are desperate. It is inevitable that there will be times when they are in bad condition or bad luck. That cannot be avoided, as is the law of football.


    But today, Bayern Munich really restricted them from a tactical height.


    The players suffocated, and the feeling of not being able to attack made them feel depressed. The longer the time, there were signs of madness.


    The reason why Aldridge stood up was that he saw Ronaldinho started to go it alone.


    Not so, but he was successfully defended twice in a row, obviously not very effective.


    In addition, he can''t just sit and pray for Ronaldinho to explode his own strength to help the team take away the victory. One time, two times, can it continue like this?


    Another reason is that he is about to move out.


    The first move, retreat first!


    The players on the field saw Aldridge''s gestures, which were simple and clear, and the players had different ideas in their hearts.


    Villa and Klose are somewhat lost. Starting in this level of competition, there will inevitably be psychological pressure. After all, they replace Henry and Larson. Seeing Aldrich¡¯s instructions, they think they are not capable enough. Nothing in the offensive, affecting Millwall had to retreat into the formation, to give up the mad attack, because even if the mad attack, only to make a gesture, the actual effect is not great.


    Ronaldinho has some resentment in his heart. If it is not that the game has not been suspended, he will definitely tell Aldrich: give us some more time, we will definitely break the goal of Bayern Munich!


    The pride of the strong is a burden in this situation.


    It¡¯s like climbing a ladder, going up, and not wanting to come down.


    Millwall is used to grasping the situation and is used to oppressing his opponents, giving them a storm-like attack, causing his opponents to collapse under strong pressure.


    Now withdrawing suddenly, the players themselves are somewhat unacceptable.


    Players and coaches must have different ideas. Players may misunderstand this as a weakness, a kind of self-denial, as if they really have nothing to do.


    This step of retreat will make Millwall fall from the god-level strong team!


    However, Aldrich''s powerful authority, after he made a gesture, he turned around and walked back to the coach seat to sit down. He knew that no player on the field dared to disobey his instructions.


    Sure enough, regardless of the player''s thinking, Millwall retreated across the board, and Pirlo also took the initiative to slow down the offensive rhythm. The offensive posture suddenly became gentle from being a wolf, as if to play Tai Chi with his opponent.


    "The tactical adjustment made by Hall on the sidelines is very obvious, that is, let Millwall retreat. We see that their three lines still maintain close contact, but the overall formation has returned to the midfield and backcourt. Is it Bayern Munich? Did the counterattack make them feel dangerous? Or, does it have a deeper meaning? We don¡¯t know, but one thing is certain, as long as Millwall does not lose this game, a draw is an acceptable result for them."


    This time Aldridge''s tactical adjustment, others may still need to speculate and observe, but the members of the Millwall coaching staff had insight into Aldridge''s intentions in the first time.


    Jenson sneered at Klinsmann: "Haha, Heathfield will be uncomfortable, very uncomfortable!"


    Klinsmann said in surprise: "Grass, why didn''t I think of this? Damn, this **** is too simple!"


    Boas thought thoughtfully and said afterwards: "Aid Audridge tossed the problem of hard thinking and meditation to Heathfield?"


    Klinsmann and Jenson looked at Boas with a smile on their face. Without talking, Boas knew what he was guessing and immediately laughed: "This trick is indeed very simple, but to think of it, it needs The brain is turning fast, Aldridge is amazing."


    "So he is the coach, the young lion is crazy, hahaha."


    After Jenson finished this sentence, Aldridge slammed him with his elbow, which meant that he should not be so blatantly flattered, but Aldridge''s mouth was slightly upturned, and his heart was actually very happy.


    This game process is his greatest pleasure as coach.


    Heathfield, do you want to use his own way to restore his own body?


    Ha ha, I accompany!


    With the withdrawal of Millwall, the pressure on the Bayern Munich defense line suddenly eased. From the defender to the lower back, it was instantly relaxed, but the scene in front of him also changed.


    They no longer have an open field in front of them, no longer have the space to be able to plug in the offense at any time, the Millwall formation withdraws back and the defense line is opened, tightly ordered.


    Suddenly, Heathfield didn''t understand Aldridge''s on-the-spot command intent.


    He frowned and thought.


    Is Millwall not attacking?


    That means Bayern Munich''s defense is more secure!


    Because there is no pressure, there is no risk.


    But after 3 minutes, Heathfield was shocked, his heart swaying as if the whole person was crumbling.


    He changed his expression, his eyes cracked!


    Fuck!


    Millwall doesn''t attack, how does Bayern Munich transplant the England national team''s technical and tactical system?


    Elber, Sauer and Salihamidzic seemed to be drowned in the swamp in the frontcourt, with no room to play.


    Can''t get on the lower back? !


    The full-back, can''t go up? !


    But if it is attacked in this way, does it mean that it is a positional battle that has been counterattacked by the opponent?


    Investing in the same offensive force, fighting opponents and fighting in positions are two distinct attacking environments.


    In terms of risk, counterattack is unprepared for hitting the opponent. In the battle of position, the difficulty is increased first, and then the probability of being counterattacked will be increased.


    Heathfield really didn''t expect what to do if Millwall retracted.


    Because for a long time, Millwall has given the impression of oppressive offense, and the offensive tendency in attitude is very high. When all opponents face Millwall, the first consideration is how to defend. The tone of the entire tactical strategy is based on the other party. Offense, based on your own defense!


    In this normal mode of thinking, Bayern Munich''s defense today is very good, very good!


    It can be said that it was successful.


    However, after Aldrich''s on-the-spot adjustment, Bayern Munich''s new problems appeared.


    Keeping the status quo untouched, Millwall seemed to take them for granted, and they could not create a good opportunity in the offense. Then, the two sides shook hands and ended in a draw.


    If this is the case, the result is not bad, at least Millwall is acceptable, after all, playing away, the opponent is Bayern Munich.


    But can Bayern Munich accept it?


    Simply speaking, Bayern Munich should be able to accept it. In the past, Bayern Munich played three times in a row. Bayern Munich was killed by Millwall for three consecutive times!


    Today we can get a draw, indicating that the performance of the game is improving and the record is improving.


    However, the game is only 35 minutes, and more than 80% of Bayern Munich fans on the scene watched them!


    At home, if you don¡¯t invest in the offense, you are telling all fans and those who pay attention to them: Bayern Munich has no idea of ??winning, and the draw will be satisfactory.


    For a moment, Heathfield only felt confused in his head.


    I imagined that at the stadium almost half a year ago, he and the emperor Beckenbauer vowed that they had found a way to restrain Millwall, which was derived from the technical and tactical system of the England national team.


    Ideally, there is nothing wrong. In the first 30 minutes of the game, if Bayern Munich can have a Scholes type player, it may create a lot of opportunities in the counterattack.


    But this was just Heathfield''s own thinking, he ignored one thing, that is, this set of techniques and tactics itself came from Audridge.


    All over the world, it is undoubtedly Aldridge to say who knows the advantages and disadvantages of this set of techniques and tactics best.


    Bayern Munich achieved 80 points, but it did a good job on the basis of achieving the standard. In the eyes of Aldridge, the counterattack effect, Bayern Munich played really not enough heat, which requires tempering, player understanding, and the need for competition to exercise, but Bayern Munich only Passed the training and running, and did not go through the actual drill, so it is very good to get 80 points. The remaining 20 points, every further step, you need to pay a great price, the right player, running, actual drill, experience, etc. Wait.


    And this set of technical and tactical shortcomings, Aldridge is also the best understood.


    That is: when your opponent doesn''t take the initiative to attack, you don''t have the best counterattack space. First of all, there is no suitable soil for the attack, and the power is impossible to talk about.


    In terms of the overall environment, this tactic is more suitable for weak travellers, and its limitations are very large.


    The national team and the club are at different levels. Rehagger¡¯s defensive myth, no strong team will try to replicate that miracle, because it is not applicable, the national team plays a cup, a life and death, weak team defense, strong team attack, The weak team can only fight back. In 2004, the strong team was planted on Greece. There is no injustice. The weak team also has a way to survive.


    Such a tactic is the most dangerous in a league-type event. Everyone will count each other and put it on the national team level. In international competitions, the most dangerous is actually the group stage. The other party does not take the initiative to attack. You also defend. The first game is tied. In case the other two of the same team win or lose, what happens if the second game is tied again? In the third game, it depends on who the opponent is, who is already out of the line, and breaks his own boat, violating the established tactics, then the possibility of being out is higher. Therefore, the most dangerous moment in Greece in 2004 is actually in the group stage, waiting to enter After the knockout, the weak players basically face opponents who are stronger than themselves, and then the game will enter the rhythm of the team''s preparations. This miracle is to kill a blood in the cracks.


    Aldridge applies to England, because England is not strong, high is not low, anyway, it is right to look at this team as a weak team.


    The Champions League is now in the second stage of the group stage, far from the point of life and death.


    Therefore, Millwall has enough room to give the advantage of the main attack to Bayern Munich.


    The posture makes people feel that Millwall is seeking stability, and the harsh people will say that it is weak.


    It doesn''t matter, corresponding to today''s game environment is a tactical strategy.


    The players on Bayern Munich were foolish.


    Starting from Millwall, the situation and environment of the game were unexpected, disrupting their rhythm and impacting their thinking.


    They came to fight back.


    But now there is no chance to fight back!


    How to do?


    This is the home court of Bayern Munich. The fans cheering for them in the stands eagerly hope that they will attack, score goals, win, and defeat the incredible Millwall!


    Originally they also wanted to win by defeating their opponents with counterattacks.


    Right now, there is no chance to fight back, so how to win?


    Heathfield frowned, unable to figure out how to change.


    Millwall really took a step back in time.


    Now throwing the problem to Heathfield, the Bayern Munich coach is thinking about countermeasures on the sidelines. Players who play on the court will not wait.


    Effenberg, Barak assisted at the same time, if only one person went up, there was no obvious effect.


    After the two men went up, the sidewalk responded and started to rush up.


    Aldridge smiled when he saw Bayern Munich start a regular attack.

 Chapter 731： Sublimation dominance!

    Bayern Munich had to attack aggressively when they had to take the initiative to attack!


    There is no reason for him. They are familiar with the established routine in the league.


    The most intuitive is that they will have double forwards, Elber and Pizarro, and Yankel are also one of the main forward candidates. Now they only have a single forward, and the offensive routine is not familiar to them.


    Barak assists and finds a free pass in front of Gattuso to Elber on the forward.


    Elber¡¯s attention was focused on physical confrontation with Materazzi. Materazzi was not in a hurry to defeat Elber in strength. He was obviously converging his movements and oppression, so Elber was fighting himself. , Because Materazzi had other ideas.


    When Elber leaned back against Materazzi, he waited for the ball to roll to his feet before making the next move, but a second before he received the ball, a figure took the ball away from him.


    Southgate.


    Bayern Munich has no double forwards, so there is one less point involved in the opponent''s back defense. Southgate and Matera are defending a forward, no problem.


    When Southgate took the ball away, Materazzi immediately withdrew his strength and moved aside to move forward, but Elber suddenly stumbled to the ground due to the sudden disappearance of his confrontation. Materazzi turned back and asked him Does it matter if you are injured?


    Southgate''s ball forward, Bayern Munich''s players immediately mark the defense, while pulling back to mark, Barak first went to Pirlo, Effenberg back.


    Southgate did not hesitate and passed the ball diagonally and handed the ball to Zambrotta on the left. The latter did not bring the ball in front of Salihamidzic, lest he be caught up by his opponent and become entangled. , So he directly passed the ball to Ronaldinho in front.


    Ronaldinho is only near the left of the center line at this time. Bayern Munich''s formation is retreating. The defense line has not been arranged. Ronaldinho knows that this is a good opportunity to counterattack. He does not go to dribble and directly in the spot. The high ball from the distance passes to the penalty area.


    Barak didn''t come back, Effenberg was still running back, Klose had only Hargreaves beside him, Ronaldinho''s foot was passed to him, Klose got the position first, and then was fighting for Win!


    Hargreaves was caught off guard.


    He was led by Klose in the physical confrontation. He thought that Klose would stop the ball in the chest, then he would wait for the rhythm to change and steal. He was very confident about this.


    However, Klose actually handled the ball with a header!


    Shake your head and attack the goal? !


    No, but the ball still flew towards the penalty area and slanted past, making Bayern''s backline frightened.


    Lizzarazu assisted just now, and is still ten meters away from the penalty area!


    After Ronaldinho''s pass was made, Villa quickly ran from the side to the penalty area. This was the decision he made through Krozer''s position and Ronaldinho''s pass. It was a very correct decision!


    Ronaldinho didn''t dribble and passed the ball directly, just to hit the speed, Klose ran back to respond, then he was definitely ready to do the response task, if Villa was still waiting on the sideline, or ran to Klose Then, his consciousness is too bad!


    Fortunately, Villa''s reading ability has been significantly improved. This time, he sprinted into the penalty area with determination, and Klose saw this, so he didn''t stop the ball and shook his head directly. The ball pushed diagonally into the penalty area.


    Villa was like a sharp knife inserted diagonally into the heart of Bayern Munich.


    Lizarazu''s did not return, Kufuer and Link were surprised by Klose''s ball, then at this time to make a move to make up for the ball, running towards the ball''s landing point, Villa faster than Kufuer One step, or half step!


    The ball was unloaded at the foot, the speed of the impact was not reduced, and the stop and the trip, Villa passed Kufuor, staggering under the foot, was brought by Kufuor''s foot, Villa did not choose to fall back On the ground, Kahn had already abandoned the door and could reach the ball only three meters away.


    Villa still fell after one step, but instead of falling, he shot at the ground!


    Huluwa knows that he has performed poorly in the first 40 minutes, but this is a golden opportunity, he can''t waste it!


    Inside secretly: Little carpenter, the pass is great!


    Kahn''s position, the goal gap, everything was in sight, and Villa was lying on the side with the last blow of the right foot and kicked the ball hard.


    Kahn had already lowered his weight and wanted to fall down to block all the ground routes. However, he watched the ball flying over his arm inconceivably. With luck, he immediately looked back and kicked off, right? !


    I saw the ball flying into the goal at a position half a meter away from the beam!


    Kahn closed his eyes in exasperation.


    Lost the ball again!


    Villa¡¯s eyes never blinked, and he stared closely at the ball¡¯s trajectory. When he saw the ball flying into the goal, he immediately ran to celebrate, but his consciousness was not in sync with his body. The ground rushed to the corner flag, kicked on the corner flag pole, and dragged the jersey to celebrate in this stadium.


    He didn''t watch when he ran. He ran to Bayern''s fan area to celebrate. The fans in the stands ignored him. Some people even scolded at him, and Villa calmed down.


    Grass, the wrong place!


    He turned around and wanted to celebrate in another place, but he was hugged directly by Klose, and other teammates rushed over.


    "Villa! The young Villa helped Millwall score a goal, the crazy lion counterattacked, Southgate, Zambrotta, Ronaldinho, Klose, Villa. This is the real counterattack. Bayern Munich wasted too many counterattack opportunities in the first half. They should see how Millwall counterattacked. Quick and fierce, a fatal blow! This ball, from defensive success to goal , It may be between 8 seconds and 10 seconds, too fast! Bayern Munich¡¯s defense is difficult to stop such an offensive. Perhaps the scene looks confusing, Millwall attacked for 30 minutes and shot the goal in one shot. No shots were made, but after retreating, they took the opportunity to rewrite the score directly in the 41st minute. This is football, full of unpredictable and subversive sensory impressions."


    Heathfield''s expression was heavy and his mood was extremely complicated.


    What should I say?


    Originally, the established tactics had a high probability of a draw, but Millwall was adjusted and Bayern Munich was disrupted by all deployments. Or, they were not firm enough, if they were determined to carry out the original tactics, Mill How could Wall fight such a counterattack?


    However, this is not only a seduce of the opponent, but also a forced change of the situation at home.


    Heathfield is now fully aware of what Beckenbauer said to him: No giant in the world will allow the team to play such a tactic!


    Heathfield was lucky, he just used this tactic in one or two games and would not use it as a regular tactic.


    But the reality is that even so, such tactics still have limitations.


    Aldrich looked up and smiled after seeing the goal. At the same time, he applauded with his colleagues in the coaching staff and applauded Villa.


    "Bayern Munich themselves are in chaos, and they must have never imagined how to face such a situation."


    "Even if you think of it, you have to make corresponding adjustments, but seeing that they have not made adjustments, you can guess that the other party is not prepared."


    Klinsmann''s remarks were obvious.


    The most feared thing about the England national team is playing those second-rate teams, why? Because of their fame or strength, they will first defend, and England must attack.


    This kind of problem is placed between first-class teams, but there is not much problem unless it is a conservative team like Italy.


    At the national team level, how many of the top teams will really fear England? Aldridge thinks it shouldn''t.


    Therefore, in the face of strong teams, England can play a defensive posture.


    But after all, to play some second-rate teams, you must take the initiative to attack, so tactics will be very different, 4321 or 4321, how to use, is another matter, for example, the England national team will use the midfield Furiously robbed to create a fleeting counterattack opportunity, or as in the case of Greece, pretend to wait for the opponent to invest in the counterattack, and then grab the counterattack counterattack!


    This requires a lot of effort in terms of technology and tactics, at least the coaching staff must be prepared, and the players must be unified.


    Through Bayern Munich''s performance after 30 minutes, Aldridge knew that the opponent did not have two hands to prepare. It is estimated that he hoped Millwall would oppress the attack wholeheartedly. They played Millwall''s counterattack.


    After ruining their tactical plan, Bayern Munich would be in chaos. The offense played unruly and the defense was exposed. Millwall seized the situation and saw the blood seal.


    The players of Bayern Munich have a low morale on the court. They have all seen the world. After a hundred battles, their current situation is really uncomfortable for them. Attacking, not in the rhythm of the plan, defending, one goal behind, what to defend ?


    At the end of the first half, the two teams walked into the locker room.


    Millwall scored in the first half, relieving the pressure and unhappiness that brought the players heart in the first 30 minutes of the game.


    When Aldridge entered the locker room, the players stopped communicating.


    Aldridge first patted Villa on the shoulder and said, "Good job."


    Villa nodded steadily, it was not a happy time!


    Looking around, Aldridge said in a deep voice: "I know you will have problems. I made an adjustment in the first half to let you take the initiative to retreat. Someone will not understand it. It does not matter. We are open and can talk openly. Talk about it."


    Nedved laughed: "Boss, we are leading now."


    "No, Pavel, this question has nothing to do with whether to lead."


    Aldrich shook his head slightly, Ronaldinho said: "Yes, I think that''s not that good. We are mad lions. We should continue to put pressure on our opponents. Boss, I am not questioning your adjustment. We are leading now. Prove your correctness, but I always feel as if we have lost something."


    Pirlo, Klose, Schneider, Zambrotta and others nodded.


    Perhaps in their view, counter-attack is a very efficient way of scoring, but it is more like a sneak attack, rather than defeating the opponent in a fair and honest manner, Millwall is not unable to fight like this, but such a fight will make them mediocre and use As the saying goes: less domineering!


    Aldridge closed his eyes and smiled, saying: "You can''t accept this statement, no, it should be, I can''t agree with it. Tyson won''t know that the opponent will wait for him to punch and defend and then give himself a hook. Fist, he continues to fist out silly. We want to attack, we can attack, we can dominate the game situation, and this is what Bayern Munich wants to see, they expect us to do so, if, you Comply with your opponent''s will to play. Do you think this is a strong performance or a stupid behavior? Do you think that Bayern Munich players will sigh in the bottom of their hearts: Wow, they are too strong, we can''t stop it. Still will I laughed secretly in my heart: we''ll wait for you to fight like this, attack like this! Fool!"


    The players looked at each other, so Aldridge made a lot of sense when thinking about it.


    And Aldridge opened his eyes and smiled at them: "Everyone is talking about it. Controlling the ball only means dominating the game. No, we have to further strengthen our dominance. What is this manifestation? We want to attack, we You can bomb your opponents wildly! We want to give our opponents an offensive opportunity, we can make room for them, and then catch the empty space that they exposed because of the attack. Note that we are not fighting for the ball from beginning to end. We have been in control of the right to dominate the game. This has always been our control. If we do not withdraw, Bayern Munich will not be able to take the initiative to attack. They will be suppressed by us all the time. Bayern Munich¡¯s attack is not what they took back. We gave them. Yes, maybe the ball control rate, the game data has dropped, but from a global perspective, we still dominate the game, remember, we can play more dominant, that is what the opponent wants, the opponent will always have Not at all!"

 Chapter 732： A bit of a crazy lion

    Aldrich''s words are not really in the heart of the players, but just let the players better accept his ideas.


    As the head coach, when communicating with the players, it is impossible to be full of truth, what is the fact? That''s not important, what matters is whether everyone can accept it.


    It''s like when the head-downed tortoise fights the ultimate anti-reaction, you can''t say directly: We are going to win, others don''t, the scene is not important, victory is the first.


    People are ambitious. Most people are expressive. They play football. 90 minutes on the court, they also care about their faces.


    The scene brought by Millwall''s oppressive offense is very enjoyable for players, both high-gloss and majestic, as if leading the trend.


    Aldrich never tries to distort values, and does not say that oppressive offense is more practical than anti-anti-counterfeiting, but he will deliberately avoid weight when instilling his ideas in the players, making them more acceptable.


    In Millwall, England, it is the same.


    Without going to analyze the reasons for the past failure with the members of the England national team and deliberately highlighting their advantages, how can they be honest and obedient to themselves, subverting 442 and playing the conservative 4321?


    As the outside world said, the current England team is no longer the traditional England team, but the combination of Italy + Germany.


    When it comes to the game, team skills and tactics, this is a serious topic. The coach can¡¯t just brag about it. You can¡¯t just talk about it with a single mouth. You have to show some skills to the players. In the field of football, it¡¯s still talented. Service-oriented.


    Seeing the player''s expression change, especially Ronaldinho and Pirlo showed a little smile on their faces.


    They liked Aldridge''s statement very much.


    Go to the game more dominantly.


    Bayern Munich''s destiny is offensive and defensive, not their self-control, but Millwall''s domination.


    If I don''t give you the opportunity to take the initiative to attack, then my 90-minute oppressive attack will destroy you, you can only fight back.


    I want you to attack, I will catch your counterattack, then I will give you the space and opportunity to attack, the game trend is based on me.


    They also understand that such dominance performance is mainly based on pros and cons.


    I think the oppressive attack can kill you, then I will do it. I think there is a risk, then I will take it back and be caught by surprise.


    The overall height is smarter, and the team''s overall technical and tactical skills can be relaxed and relaxed.


    Simply speaking the effect, Millwall''s tactical literacy, execution is undoubtedly, can lead in the first half, is a good proof, Aldridge adjusted, no one dared to violate, but Aldridge is not an iron fist, not to do After making the right decision, the player''s reaction was ignored.


    He will appease the player''s mentality, ease the player''s thinking, and try to create an atmosphere of unity as generals as possible.


    "To prove that I didn''t lie to you, next, let''s do an experiment with the second half of the game, how?"


    Aldridge stuck the bag in one hand and stretched out the other with a wave in front of him. The smile on his face represented his confidence.


    Infected by his confidence, the players laughed.


    "Boy, you just say, how to do it in the second half, only to score a goal, not enough!"


    Ronaldinho shouted excitedly.


    Other players laughed. Old officials like Nedvide and Southgate never doubted the correctness of Aldridge. Even if it proved that Aldridge was wrong, it still could not make them trust Aldridge. There is a slight drop.


    "Okay, let''s have a big game at the Munich Olympic Stadium in the second half! Everyone, listen to me!"


    Aldridge started to arrange the tactics in the second half, and the whole team listened attentively.


    On this stage of the Champions League, Millwall has gone through hundreds of battles. Now he is not only pursuing honor and expanding his glory, but also really enjoying the game and having fun.


    Compared with the joy and excitement of Millwall''s intermission, Bayern Munich broke out in the home team''s locker room. This debate does not come from players and coaches, but a communication within the team, but it is not Everyone is a gentleman, with a loud voice and a heavy tone. It sounds like a quarrel, but it will not hurt the emotions. On the contrary, such a phenomenon within the team represents everyone¡¯s will to defend honor and win, which will inspire each other. Motivation.


    "Millwall is a cunning team! We must be more flexible with such opponents and think faster!"


    It was Effenberg who gave orders in the locker room.


    Kahn also nodded in agreement and said aloud: "Like the lost ball, our full-backs failed to come back the first time, and the two defenders will need someone to fill their seats in time. They can''t stand dead."


    "I made up, but their counterattack was too fast!"


    Kufuor excused himself somewhat depressed.


    "Faster faster, faster! We know they will fight back like this, and sometimes they must get rid of the constraints of the location area!"


    ...


    After Heathfield and other players communicated internally, it was his turn to adjust the team''s tactics.


    Must be changed.


    Behind.


    The players also think they can''t fight like they did at the beginning, 4321, playing in positional battle, the opponent is Millwall, is this not asking for trouble? At this time, all that is needed is the determination and will to break through.


    Hessfield did not dare to really break the wreck and fight back, not only by courage but also by wisdom.


    Speaking lightly and madly attacking, but couldn''t find the balance in the middle, Bayern Munich estimated that it was immediately used as a sieve!


    When thinking about the countermeasures, Hisfield suddenly flashed, and he said to Barak: "In the second half, you hit the front waist."


    Barak was not surprised at all. It''s time to attack. Don''t attack. Will you concede defeat at home?


    Heathfield arranged the tactics specifically. He couldn¡¯t just say that Barak would go to the front and then let go, let the players play. What is the specific tactical routine and what is the source of the offensive opportunities? This requires him to explain in detail to the players.


    After Heathfield finished his tactical adjustment, Bayern Munich''s locker room was silent.


    The players had strange expressions and strange eyes.


    Bayern Munich changed positions, 4231, the positional battle added a fixed front waist joint, but it is really unconvincing to want to rely on such changes to increase the probability of defeating Millwall.


    The key point that Heathfield said was that their position was unsuccessful. It didn¡¯t matter. Barak and a full-back should form a contact to quickly counter-attack the Millwall¡¯s counterattack. Then, the other forwards and full-backs , Ready to insert at any time.


    The theory is to stifle Millwall''s counterattack, and then quickly create the highest threat on the offensive end.


    But conceptually, Bayern Munich players feel a bit familiar.


    After a moment''s thought, I realized.


    Isn¡¯t that **** the British Fleet Street advocating a ¡°rear forward¡± strategy?


    The reason is to advocate for a while, because Millwall has not used this tactic steadily in the past more than a month, and it is only used in the vegetable abuse game to strengthen the oppressive attack, so this technique and tactic is used There were obvious limitations, and everyone on the Fleet Street vomited, and this was the end.


    However, this concept has really begun to penetrate the hearts of the people, but it cannot be popularized.


    The players of Bayern Munich thought that this tactical design was from Millwall again, no, it was from Aldridge, and everyone''s mood became complicated.


    Damn, use Aldridge''s tactics to play Millwall at the beginning, and Aldridge''s tactics at halftime?


    This, this, this...


    This won, is there a face?


    However, this is not the time to be afraid of face, winning or not losing is the most important thing.


    The players are all battle-hardened old rivers and lakes, playing a super first-class opponent like Millwall, they certainly can¡¯t think of a good way. The arrangement of the head coach is quite reliable, at least it sounds like a fight The way, if the coach only encourages morale to let everyone go up the knife hill and the sea of ??fire to fight for it!


    That kind of coaching has really no future.


    See the tricks, you have to have countermeasures, just rely on shouting slogans to use farts!


    Bayern Munich players put their thoughts down and put those miscellaneous thoughts behind.


    They encouraged each other and walked out of the locker room to prepare for the second half of the game.


    Before the start of the second half of the game, Aldridge sat on the coach seat. The coaches around him talked in a low voice, with a sense of confidence in their expressions.


    Everyone can''t wait for the second half to start soon.


    Watch the show!


    Heathfield still stood on the sidelines, deliberately glanced at Aldridge, and found that Aldridge was sitting there steadily, not talking to the people next to him, and looked comfortable.


    He thought to himself: Anti-anti? Have you kept going back?


    A team like Millwall is determined to fight back. Bayern Munich, even with the advantage of playing at home, may not be able to do anything, and the risk of losing the ball again is very high.


    The players on both sides are furious, and their thoughts are roughly the same: you are waiting!


    "In the first round of the UEFA Champions League second group stage, the second half of Bayern Munich and Millwall is now starting. The score is temporarily 0:1. Bayern Munich, who is at home, is behind. They are certainly not satisfied with this score. In the second half, I believe they will They went all out to counterattack. They played three times before and they lost to Millwall three times in a row. If they lose again today, it is a four-game losing streak!"


    Bayern Munich fans in the stands looked worried, and many people had a strange idea in their hearts.


    Millwall, you **** too cruel!


    In 1999, the two teams met for the first time in the history of the Champions League semi-finals. In the two rounds of the Champions League, everyone won one game, and then the penalty shootout, Bayern Munich won, Millwall returned home.


    But that year, Bayern Munich''s UEFA Champions League trip, fucking, no fans wanted to remember!


    Since then, he was double-killed in 2000 and defeated in the 2001 final. Bayern Munich played 5 times against Millwall, 1 win and 4 losses!


    Today is the sixth match. If he loses again, Millwall will kill Bayern Munich in four consecutive games.


    There is the saying of revenge in football.


    Millwall penalized a penalty penalty to Bayern Munich in 1999. After meeting, Millwall naturally became an avenger, good guy, this revenge is almost endless!


    But Millwall will not always be the Avengers. After the double killing of Bayern Munich in 2000 and finally winning the cup, the role of the Avengers will become Bayern Munich. In the 01 final, Bayern Munich¡¯s revenge failed. Today, it seems that it still cannot be revenge. success.


    Only in the eyes of Bayern Munich fans, they feel more like Bayern Munich has been avenged by Millwall, because Bayern Munich has been in the disadvantage of the scene since 99 years, the popular point of view is: Millwall was held down and beaten!


    Therefore, they think the crazy lion is too ruthless!

 Chapter 733： The other way

    At the beginning of the second half of the game, within two minutes, Aldridge''s eyes widened, and he said inconceivably: "Isn''t it? Which one is playing in Heathfield?"


    "Huh? What?"


    Klinsmann didn''t understand Aldridge''s words.


    Jenson was thinking too.


    Aldrich pointed to his own situation in the second half and said: "Balak and Sauer, or Barak and Salihamidzic, are madly robbing, you pay attention to Elber''s position."


    The position premise of Barak is clear, but how to kick is another matter, it does not mean that there is a fixed mode mission at a position.


    Many of the strong teams in the contemporary era still do not participate in the defense. Barak is in the front waist position. If the series of offense is used, the effect is not yet obvious, but he is forced to snatch, or the strength of the defense is obviously like a midfielder. .


    This is the difference between defensive tasks and meaning. Like Millwall¡¯s forward defense, it is by no means a real defense, but harassment, disrupting the opponent¡¯s offense, defense, snatching, interception. Such tasks are the midfield line and What the defender is doing, of course, Pirlo is an exception. His contribution to defense can only be said to be slightly stronger than harassment.


    Everyone took a closer look at the situation on the field, and found out what Audridge said.


    It''s one thing to forcefully rob, 11 people are going to rob, what''s the point?


    What is the meaning of teamwork?


    Barack and the wing forward fought together in the front waistline. Another wing guard and striker Elber''s position area is obviously waiting for the opportunity to break out and wait for the opportunity!


    If Barak really succeeds, Bayern Munich will probably only need a one-foot or two-foot pass to create a killer!


    "Isn''t this our front waist?"


    Jenson frowned.


    To be honest, Bayern Munich should play better in front midfielder tactics than Millwall because they have fewer technical players and rely on teamwork, followed by more defensive players. There are also many players with a wide range. The three midfielders who played today, Hargreaves, Effenberg and Barak, can all do this. There is another doubt on the bench that is plagued by injuries. Jeremys, they have many people.


    Aldridge snapped his thigh and said: "It''s dangerous today!"


    "Huh? What''s wrong?"


    "Jerimes has been plagued by injuries in the past year. Hesfield did not dare to use him. If he dare to use it, or if he is in a good state, Bayern Munich might have beaten us by surprise in the first half. !"


    Aldridge has a lingering fear, he will not blindly arrogant, will make a reasonable assessment of each opponent, and will not think that Bayern Munich is vulnerable because of the current score lead.


    Klinsmann looked at the situation on the court and wondered: "Does it mean that if Jeremys can get on, Barak starts with a midfielder, he..."


    "Yes, Jeremys, Hargreaves, Effenberg, three backs, Barack hitting the midfielder, 4321 assisted with the midfielder strategy, Millwall didn¡¯t prepare for the opening, maybe it¡¯s true Succeeded by Bayern Munich!"


    Aldridge took a breath after he finished speaking, and then shook his head again: "Oh, God is fair, we have no Larsen and Henry, and Jeremys of Bayern Munich can''t go up."


    Maybe it¡¯s just a very small variable, or it¡¯s common sense that even when Jeremy played, he just squeezed out Hargreaves¡¯ position, but in the process of application, a small variable factor will cause great changes. And even change the quality.


    In the first half, Bayern Munich defended very successfully in the first 30 minutes, but the counterattack failed to produce an effect. What was lacking was a tandem attack in the frontcourt. Both the offensive and defensive characters are in the English national team. Scholes is supplemented by a dribbling McManaman, a breakthrough, and top scorer Irving.


    Elber, Salihamidzic, known as the Angel Wings, has a similar role, but lacks a Scholes-like character. Is Barak the same as Scholes? Certainly different, but in the tactical effect, there should be different points. If Bayern Munich opened with Barack at the front, maybe in those counterattacks, the role of Barack¡¯s tandem organization and the threat of forward insertion can all be in Millwall made killings without precautions.


    But in turn, Jeremys couldn''t go up, and Barak went to hit the midfielder. These three midfielder systems were flawed first, unable to withstand Millwall''s oppressive offense, and the counterattack was just a mirror.


    "Oh, Aldridge, I still have to say that, you are amazing, look at Bayern Munich, dominate the German football, but you are forced by you, it is 4321, and it is the front of the waist, use your Something to try to beat you, ha ha ha, today this game has more exciting pictures than in the past season!"


    Jenson made no secret of his admiration for Aldridge, probably since Aldridge traveled to Holland alone, he has always admired this younger man in his heart.


    Aldrich shook his head and said: "To be honest, I can''t say that, I really can''t. It''s like, I will draw on Italian football, Dutch football, Spanish football, etc. when I make tactics. Absolutely not original, and if Millwall lost today, did I force Heathfield into this situation, or did I give Heathfield a way to defeat Millwall? The process, it doesn¡¯t matter, the result is It¡¯s the most important thing. People will only use the results to hype the process."


    These words are without hypocrisy.


    In fact, Millwall won, no matter what tactics Heathfield used, he would be a loser and was criticized and mocked by the outside world.


    If Millwall loses, Heathfield will win applause and praise as winners.


    As for what tactics are used, does it matter to Aldridge? Is this important? Of course not important.


    In the first five minutes of the second half, Millwall was like the end of the first half. The overall formation was not forward and the rhythm was not fast. Bayern Munich fell behind and did not make a big pressure, but they were mainly attacked by them. A front waist is connected in the frontcourt, temporarily able to control the ball, and patiently create opportunities. If it is not possible, Barak will carry out a crazy push on the front waistline. This kind of push will slow down Millwall even if it cannot be grabbed. The speed of the counterattack plays a role in delaying the offensive and gives Bayern Munich a complete line of defense to win time.


    Bayern Munich wanted a successful counterattack and then hit directly with a fatal blow. The idea was wonderful, but the effect was not good. Millwall players will never have the bad habit of sticking the ball. Someone who comes to grab will definitely get the ball in the first place. The danger zone dared to have too many individual performances, no matter whether it was successful or not, until it was in a desperate situation, after doing so, it must be reprimanded by Audridge for a long time.


    In the five minutes, the situation was calm and calm. Bayern Munich thought Millwall took a counterattack easily and counterattacked. But after 50 minutes, Millwall''s posture changed again, and the formation collided collectively to press forward and oppress. , Back again!


    Barak turned back to grab Pirlo after an unsuccessful attempt to grab Gattuso. As a result, Gattuso passed the ball to Schneider. The latter took the ball and strode forward with a meteor. After halftime, the ball was passed to Pearce. Lowe.


    Barak was horrified, watching Pirlo take the ball forward, he was not fast in dribbling speed, but the forward consciousness had no absolute relationship with the speed, Pirlo''s bold forward, driving Millwall''s overall offensive formation. Advance!


    Schneider did not go back after passing the ball, continued to press forward, his position faintly approached as a winger, Villa did not cut inward, retreated, Villa and Nedved plus Pirlo three in the penalty area The pre-events formed a connection, and the power of triangle transmission was revealed.


    Hargreaves and Effenberg faced a sudden increase in pressure in the face of these three, Pirlo was still rushing forward, Barak just ran behind him, Pirlo passed the ball to Villa, he went back Withdrawing before the penalty area, Hargreaves defended Villa. Villa knocked the ball back to Pirlo. When Barak turned again, he saw Pirlo not stopping the ball and lightly passed the penalty area.


    With Klose''s cover, Nedved''s forward insertion was only against Link. When Link was back, Nedved leaped forward and struggled to score the header!


    Kahn made a world-class save. Nedved''s header went to the dead end of the goal. Although the angle was not extreme, it was also tricky. Kahn blocked the ball with a single palm, and the direction of the pop was just in Villa. Here, Villa dare not stop the ball, half-turned and swept the ball to the side.


    Assisted by Schneider launched an offensive impact again. Before Lizarazu came to block, he aimed at Klose''s point and passed the ball. Klose walked from behind Kufuor to the front point to meet the ball. Taking off is also a header!


    This time, Klose''s heading angle was obviously very positive, and he was also very sure. Kahn had just completed the save. This time he got up and saved again. No matter how he thought, he would not stage a world-class save.


    However, Klose thought that this was a necessary goal, but after heading the goal, Kahn found that the ball was blocked by the palm of his hand with irregular movements in a hurry!


    Klose was unbelievable, watching Kahn''s body weight fall to the right, but his left hand reached the upper left, accurately blocking the ball again!


    Godlike goalkeeper!


    Kahn made two world-class saves, but twice in a row, he did not put the ball in his arms or blocked out of bounds, and twice, after the ball was blocked, they all bounced outward.


    This time, the ball that was ejected was stopped by Pirlo on the big penalty line with his chest. Hargreaves and Effenberg, a flying shovel, and a body to block his shot angle, Link, Kufu Al, Lizarazu, who is in the restricted area, is almost trying to use his body to block the angle of his shot!


    However, Pirlo shook his ankle and passed the ball diagonally to the other side of the penalty area.


    The Bayern people will turn around and look cold, like a fallen ice cellar!


    This is the third consecutive attack of Millwall''s oppressive offense. Bayern Munich has been unable to calmly arrange the defense line to mark people. There is no time for them to do this.


    Ronaldinho received a pass from Pirlo in front of Saniol. He sided the goal and had a good shooting angle, comparable to a golden opportunity with a single goal.


    Sagnol did not want to fly away with a shovel. Instead of rushing, he used a shovel to block Ronaldinho''s shot.


    But Ronaldinho dunked the ball and calmly pulled the ball. Sagnol flew past the ground in front of him. Ronaldinho took another step towards the goal. Kahn abandoned the goal and Kahn just moved. , Ronaldinho used his foot arch to push the spot, Kahn fell to the ground, slow down...


    Lizarazu flew behind the goal and tried to clear the ball from the goal line with his toes, but he was also slow. When the ball rolled the goal, Lizarazu also slid into the goal!

 Chapter 734： Anticipate

    "Ronaldinho''s wonderful goal! Pirlo''s wonderful assists! Millwall leads Bayern Munich 2-0 away! We thought Bayern Munich would have a defensive defense this time, after all, Kahn already did There were two great saves, but Millwall continued to attack, and continued to attack. Was it their luck or Bayern Munich¡¯s defensive mistakes? One thing that must be paid attention to, Millwall is good at This kind of oppressive attack, they have a very strong grasp of the opportunities of the second attack and the third attack, why Villa will grab the ball after the successful save of Kahn? Why can Pirlo send an assist? Replay through the goal We can see that the distribution area of ??Millwall''s offensive players is very reasonable. It is easy to let people see the three-dimensional sense of surrounding the opponents layer by layer. This is definitely related to their positions in training and the coach''s tactical exercises. And this is not the short-term effect! Millwall¡¯s strength is impressive."


    Ronaldinho turned around after scoring a goal and ran to the corner flag area. Behind him, the picture was extremely shocking. Bayern Munich, including the goalkeeper, had four players falling in the small penalty area. There were goalkeepers. One person fell on his own. This wave of oppressive offense hit the Bayern Munich defense line with people jumping back and forth!


    Ronaldinho came to the Jiaoqi District and cheered on the away fans to dance the iconic samba.


    After the end, he turned around and was hugged by his teammates, while raising his arms to the visiting coach''s seat and showing his thumbs.


    Next, around Ronaldinho, a total of seven Millwall players also made the same action collectively.


    Klose, Villa, Ronaldinho, Pirlo, Nedved, Schneider, Zambrotta, these seven people together raised their arms and showed thumbs up to become the front page of the post-match battle. Screen.


    The outside world does not know why Millwall suddenly made such a celebration gesture. On the surface, it is an admiration for the coaching staff, or the coach, but why? The outside world does not understand.


    The visiting team''s coach seat was also celebrating the goal, and Audridge saw the disciples'' collective gestures and bowed his head and smiled.


    This is really nothing to be proud of, but it will make him very happy.


    Heathfield''s expression was dull. This one lost the ball. Too young to say that he was unlucky and could not demand more from Kahn. However, if after two successful saves, a player from Bayern Munich can grab the landing spot, then , Millwall will not score.


    But going further, Heathfield knew that in this game, he lost to nothing!


    He thought that Millwall would easily defend against it after leading, but he was wrong. The second half started for 5 minutes. Millwall was more like warming up or confusing his opponent. After 5 minutes, they started The oppression of attack is back!


    After thinking about it, Heathfield shook his head and smiled bitterly.


    Yeah, it¡¯s not hard to think that Bayern Munich will fall behind and will invest in the offense. It is impossible for 4321 to continue from the formation. Since such extreme anti-anti tactics have been abandoned, Millwall¡¯s oppressive attack can be re-played. Threatening, three backs and double backs are completely different, even if Barak ran back from the front to the back, but the defense was passive from the beginning.


    How can the young masters of the famous earthquakes, like ordinary people, not take such an opportunity, and honestly fight against it?


    Aldridge was disappointed because the card in his hand was good. At that time, he was proud, and he seemed to be ignorant. At this point, he knew that he still had it.


    At the tactical level, a contest is expected to take precedence.


    Millwall didn''t expect Bayern Munich to use 4321 today. It was a bad move in the opening game and Aldridge lost a while.


    But the 30-minute adjustment pulled back a game.


    In the second half, Millwall suddenly beat Bayern Munich by surprise, beating the opponent.


    Millwall can continue to play defense in the second half, but the effect is certainly not as good as in the first half. Bayern Munich''s first goal was lost by a counterattack. There will definitely be targeted defense in the second half. Since it is known that the opponent will focus on In this regard, efforts are made, and the score is behind and will be attacked. Aldridge¡¯s strategy is to re-offer the oppressive attack. This is probably not expected by Bayern Munich. Although Bayern Munich is passive, if it is possible to guess Aldridge¡¯s Tactics layout, re-take 4321, then, maybe this second goal will not be lost, maybe, it will also play a more threatening attack by counterattack.


    This is the fun for Aldridge on the football field. He expects to compete with the top teams. Only the gap is not too big. Every decision of the head coach will have a huge impact on the game.


    Bayern Munich will suffer a great deal of mental damage, as Effenberg said: Millwall is a cunning team!


    Such an opponent, too **** hate!


    After the game restarted, Bayern Munich''s formation took the initiative to retreat, and Barak did not work in front of the anti-robbing job. He directly went back and put out a 4321 formation. This was their conscious adjustment, fearing that Millwall would oppress again.


    Millwall players laughed secretly at Bayern Munich''s adjustment.


    They didn''t oppress and went up, organized their attacks slowly, and if they had a chance, they kicked the ball. Without the opportunity, they organized slowly. The ball was given to the opponent. It didn''t matter. The defense line was tightly organized anyway.


    After 15 minutes, Bayern Munich began to boo at home.


    Bayern Munich at home, two goals behind, but did not break through, which makes the home fans unacceptable!


    The Bayern Munich team feel suffocated and are going crazy!


    Male Gobi!


    Millwall sometimes oppressed the attack and sometimes backed away to maintain balance, making them suspicious and tormented.


    This game is too painful to play.


    Effenberg has watched the game time have reached 70 minutes, no matter how much, Tiger constantly circulates to his teammates, roughly means: so much to control the ball! Fight with them! grass!


    The big brother took the lead to speak, and no one in the team dared not follow, Bayern Munich''s momentum changed, a big attack on the crazy attack!


    This pressure, Millwall really can''t bear it, because in the first 70 minutes, they did not encounter such a huge offensive pressure on Bayern Munich, but the team still restricted Bayern Munich very well.


    Barak got a long shot in front of the penalty area and was taken into the arms by Bute. Butt stood up and rushed forward, and threw the ball directly to the side. Zambrotta got the ball and drove the ball all the way forward.


    Passing the ball to Ronaldinho after halftime, Ronaldinho''s ball looks in the ink, does not speed up, and slowly moves forward, because he is focused on marking, his teammates have not run into place, he rushed the ball forward, also Will only fall into the trap.


    After waiting for 3 seconds, Ronaldinho crossed the ball to the front right when Sagnol couldn''t help but rushed to intercept, where Nedved should have received it, and Hargreaves thought Nedved Will answer, and then follow Nedved.


    But Nedved slyly ran over there, but rushed directly into the penalty area and the ball was behind him.


    Hargreaves hesitated for a second and found that Zambrotta did not play cards as usual and did not go outside, but instead cut in. Ronaldinho''s pass was to Zambrotta.


    Zambrotta didn''t give Hargreaves a chance to get close after he got the ball. Nedved went into the penalty area and made a shot. Link was cheated. Nedved After spiking back and pulling the ball a step further, it was observed that Klose was blocked by Kufuor. Kahn''s position seemed to consciously block his pass to the front of Klose, that is, behind him, if he passed , Kahn must abandon the door to attack.


    Nedvide simply bombarded the door. Kahn did not make any save this time. He predicted the problem. The twisted movement observed by Nedvide made him subconsciously think that Nedvide would pass. The ball, but Nedv¨§d turned his head and took a shot.


    The angle of the shot is pretty good. Although it is not tricky, even if the goalkeeper makes a save, I am afraid that he is unable to return to the sky, not to mention that Kahn hasn''t moved at all.


    Kane walked over and kicked the ball out of the ball.


    "3:0! Millwall leads Bayern Munich at 3:0 away, this is another counterattack, Zambrotta assists Nedved to score, Bayern Munich seems to have changed his mind after losing the second ball, card Eun didn¡¯t even make a save. They may not know how to face such a match."


    Effenberg was so angry that Kahn yelled at his teammates angrily after kicking the flying ball, beckoning the team to play bleeding, at least to bite the opponent at home!


    Can not give up!


    Aldridge actually let the substitutes warm up five minutes ago, and is now planning to call them back.


    The game restarted, Bayern Munich kicked off as soon as they kicked off, but they saw a surprising scene.


    I am grass!


    After Millwall kicked off at Bayern Munich, the overall formation is also pushing up!


    Klose, Villa, Ronaldinho made three arrows, rushing up like a wolf, they were frightened by Salihamidzic, he quickly passed the ball to Effenberg, Egypt After Finberg had received the ball, he saw that Klose was less than two meters in front of him. He unconsciously forwarded the ball and wanted to give it to Sauer. However, after his ball passed out, he was directly attacked by Peel. Low steals!


    Standing on the sidelines, Aldridge, who was telling Kaka, Alonso and Ramall about the task after the game, turned his head and looked at the stadium with his mouth closed to watch the team''s attack.


    He told the players to experiment in the second half during the halftime break, the content is very simple, switch the rhythm.


    Starting from 50 minutes, first use the oppressive attack to attack the opponent, if you can score, switch to balance tactics, if you lose the ball or score, then switch to the oppressive attack.


    This is not that Aldrich has given tactical instructions indiscriminately, just like the players playing games.


    The key is that after 50 minutes of oppressive offense, as long as a goal is scored, then Millwall is leading by two goals. On this basis, even if Bayern Munich scores a goal, Bayern Munich narrows the score gap, sure He will also invest in the offense, then Millwall will do the opposite, and then press it up, and he will certainly be able to beat his opponent by surprise.


    Unexpectedly, this third goal was Millwall, Millwall continued to change the rhythm, the effect is equally good.


    Pirlo no longer dribbles forward after stealing the ball, Ronaldinho directly finds Ronaldinho from the midfield, Ronaldinho dribbles all the way to the penalty area, because Bayern Munich kicks the ball forward and Millwall goes Forward, after the ball was intercepted in the midfield, was directly disjointed.


    In front of the penalty area, the Bayern Munich defense of the offense was in chaos. Ronaldinho sent a good pass from the ball. Klose received a single pass after countering the offside. Facing Kahn, this time he did not miss the opportunity to push the ball steadily. goal.


    Bayern Munich is about to collapse...

 Chapter 735： flexible

    "4:0! 4:0! Unstoppable Millwall scored two goals in one minute! How are they playing? What''s going on? Bayern Munich kicked forward and Millwall was more aggressive than Bayern Munich. ! Directly press up to make a quick break after a steal in the midfield, Klose seized the opportunity in front of the door, Millwall expanded the victory, there is no doubt that Bayern Munich has no chance, no chance!"


    Millwall¡¯s players on the court were crazy in excitement, and they couldn¡¯t help shaking. They had to do something to vent their pleasure on the court today. They got together and shouted wildly, and then Ronaldinho took the lead with several players. Here danced a romantic and brisk dance, not samba, but more like the retro pace in the disco.


    Aldridge laughed on the sidelines, and Jenson rushed from behind him and jumped on his back, roaring into the court as players celebrated.


    In this game, maybe Millwall was upset in the first thirty minutes, but then, it was hearty and cheerful!


    Kaka, Alonso and Ramall smiled and cheered for the team¡¯s fourth goal. Although they did not play, they were from the team before the game and the intermission until now. Having been on the sidelines, the three looked at Aldridge in unison, and then looked at the teammates on the opposite corner of the field who had danced and embraced each other. The eyes were full of envy and pride.


    Envy the main players in the game.


    They must be enjoying the game, this is not a job, it is more like their game.


    I am proud to be able to take orders under coaches like Aldridge and see more players leaving before I know how precious the chance to stay here is.


    Heathfield sat back on the coach seat, the Bayern Munich coach seat and the bench were silent, everyone expressionless.


    In addition to the bitterness of the score, Heathfield felt a little admiration.


    In today''s game, Aldridge took him and Millwall completely convinced Bayern Munich.


    Speaking of Millwall''s lineup, the strong is definitely strong, but it is never said to be strong enough to open the gap between other giants. Compared with a single player, which giant does not have a few famous stars in Europe? In other words, Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga giant, does not look too starry.


    But why can Millwall stand alone in Europe?


    Today''s game is the best evidence. In addition to the strong line-up, there are tactical qualities and cohesion beyond imagination.


    Millwall continuously switches between oppressive offensive and offensive and defensive balance tactics. Can this be done by the coach simply issuing orders?


    of course not!


    This requires 11 players on the field, including goalkeepers, yes, and must include goalkeepers. The thinking is highly unified. If someone cannot keep up with the rhythm of teammates, then the effect of tactical execution will be significantly different.


    Millwall has achieved the perfection of a coach in building the team''s execution ability, that is: freely!


    Tactics are ever-changing, and the core is nothing more than two opposing and complementary elements of defense or offense.


    Millwall''s ability to adjust between offense and defense is terrifying.


    "The two teams were replaced at the same time, Millwall replaced three players at a time, the goals were scored by Ronaldinho and Villa, and Pirlo, who played well, was replaced and replaced by Aron. Sok, Kaka, Ramor. Bayern Munich also replaced, Hargreaves was replaced, Pizarro came on, Bayern Munich added a forward, I do not know if it is too late at this time? "


    Heathfield certainly didn¡¯t want to make a substitution when he was behind at 0:4. He was preparing at 0:2, but hesitated to observe for a long time. 0:3 to 0:4 is only a one-minute process, so this The substitutions seem to come too late. Who can expect things on the football field?


    Aldridge greeted the three players who were off the court, high-fiving with them one by one, and then the three players took over the coats handed over from Jenson, put them on the bench and started chatting happily with their teammates.


    With more than ten minutes left in the game, Aldridge''s desired result will definitely not run away. If Bayern Munich can pull back four, then this is Millwall''s tragedy!


    However, Aldridge not only wants the result, the game has developed to now, he has other purposes.


    Investigate the players!


    Sounds unbelievable, what player to investigate?


    Kaka and Alonso.


    Watching them train every day, and occasionally directing them to play, but training and games are two different things. Different levels of games have different requirements for players. You can see how far their abilities are.


    Lamore is past the age where the coach can still have high hopes, and Aldridge has given him a clear position as a substitute.


    But Kaka and Alonso are in the rising age, and it is the rising period, all sides are all, skill, reading ability, actual combat ability, physical fitness and so on.


    It is difficult to detect the high level of competence by looking at their game with second-rate teams because the playing environment is very different.


    This is why there are many professional players who shine in the midstream and downstream teams, but it is difficult to gain a foothold in the giants or first-tier clubs. Different game environments, different pressures, and even different pursuits.


    4:0, at home of Bayern Munich, as long as Bayern Munich does not give up, the remaining ten minutes is a good touchstone. You can let Audridge see if Kaka and Alonso can play in such a game. Stand firm.


    The stronger the opponent, the stronger the intensity of the game. Putting it on the players is actually simple, that is, fewer opportunities and shorter thinking time. It used to be easy, but now it is not necessary.


    After the substitution, Millwall changed his formation to 442, a small diamond midfielder, Nedvide withdrew to play with Alonso at the center midfielder, Kaka hit the midfielder, Klose and Ramall doubled The striker, Bayern Munich also changed their formation, becoming their familiar 442.


    Four goals, four goals behind, at home, Bayern Munich players will no longer think about whether to lose the ball again, they are already scarred anyway, what about adding another wound?


    But can''t, can''t let Millwall, let their opponent leave unharmed!


    Bayern Munich is overwhelming, the players of the team are like beasts, and they are competing for the soil. At this time, it is a breath, fighting for dignity.


    Aldrich estimated one thing wrong. He expected Bayern Munich to attack aggressively, which was correct, but he did not expect Bayern Munich to be a completely crazy warrior!


    How about playing the game like this?


    If the game is 90 minutes, it is naturally bad, because if the player consumes 90 minutes of physical energy and energy in 30 minutes, what will happen to the remaining 60 minutes?


    But Bayern Munich didn''t really consume much energy today. In the last ten minutes, they attacked and defended like crazy, as if they were throwing punches and not playing cards according to common sense. This is a standard gesture of letting go.


    And even if their enthusiasm for passing the watch is over, the game will be over, so, it is considered to be right, and the right strategy is used.


    In contrast, Millwall is self-destructing the Great Wall. Now Alonso''s defensive ability is obviously stronger than Pirlo, but the key problem is that his offensive organization ability and motivation ability are not as good as Pirlo. In the face of the torrential rain of Bayern Munich When Millwall''s first wave of frontal defense was successful, Alonso organized an unfavorable attack. Instead, he was killed by Bayern Munich. After repeated blows, Millwall''s gate was declared in the 84th minute. fall.


    Pizarro made a contribution.


    Aldridge felt guilty in his heart. It was not that he could train Alonso and Kaka with this kind of game, but that he as the coach did not pick the best opportunity. If Alonso started, he might enter the game with time. , He can play better, but he just did a warm-up, and Bayern Munich happens to be "best animal"...


    Aldridge got up from the coach seat, walked to the side of the court and waved his hand, allowing the team to retreat, absolutely based on defense.


    Bayern Munich pulled back one without stopping. In the cheering of home fans, they only played the prestige of the German class bully in the last ten minutes.


    The more you look at it, the more people will feel that Alonso is too far away from Pirlo.


    In the last few minutes, Alonso didn''t even dare to control the ball. After receiving the ball, he seemed to receive a bomb that was about to explode. He hurried out the ball, the attack was invisible, and the rhythm of control was impossible to talk about.


    Pirlo is sometimes slow, how slow is it?


    Drive your opponent crazy!


    But even when the opponent is going crazy, Pirlo will suddenly speed up. Moreover, Pirlo is very confident in the ball control and is calm in handling the ball. This is also the result of countless games and heavyweight games.


    To say what Alonso still lacks, in addition to improving technology over the same period, it can only accumulate experience step by step.


    Kaka didn''t do much after playing, he couldn''t get on the ball, even after receiving the ball, he was completely suppressed by the crazy tiger Effenberg.


    This suppression is purely based on gas field and momentum.


    Because of the speed at which Kaka got rid of, the ability to break through is completely stronger than that of 33-year-old Effenberg, but he just can''t play it out.


    Aldridge felt a bit heavy in the coach seat.


    It takes much more energy to train a newcomer than the average person understands.


    It''s impossible that because of Nedved''s injury, Kaka replaced Nedved to play the front waist, and then did not make any other changes. This is like a factory machine. Nedved and Kaka themselves have different specifications. How can parts be simply replaced?


    To focus on cultivating a player, it is necessary to create a tactic that suits him. Some only affect the local, such as the striker, and some may affect the entire team, such as Pirlo.


    Fortunately, Millwall also has Lampard, 3 years older than Alonso.


    Aldridge intends to keep a lineup for the next coach. At least he doesn¡¯t need to push it back to rebuild, and he doesn¡¯t need to deliberately help a baby soldier. The tactics need to be improved. Then let the next coach worry, at least There are not many flaws in the team.


    Bayern Munich, by virtue of the offensive attack, won consecutive set-point opportunities during injury stoppage time. In the last minute of stoppage time, Barak took a corner header and took another goal. After the goal, Ballack immediately held the ball Running back, but the referee directly sounded the whistle at the end of the game.


    Bayern Munich players complained to the head referee, and Barak was also very annoyed that the head referee should give at least one more minute.


    The referee is very innocent, what do you think about giving you 1 minute? He just blew the whistle just when the injury stoppage time arrived. There is no blame. Bayern Munich''s complaint may have found a channel to vent his dissatisfaction.


    "2:4, in the first round of the UEFA Champions League second group stage, Bayern Munich at home lost 2:4 to the defending champion Millwall, Millwall completed a four-match killing against Bayern Munich, we are here In the match, I saw Millwall¡¯s superb technical and tactical strength, and saw Bayern Munich¡¯s will not to give up at the last moment. These are two teams with different strengths, but they are also giants with many fans. The score is just As a result, it is impossible to hide the charm of the two teams. We look forward to the next game when the two teams meet, but next time, the place of battle will be at the Lion King Stadium in London."

 Chapter 736： Best team

    After the match, some Millwall players wanted to exchange Bayern Munich players for their jerseys, but the opponents were not in the mood and left directly. The Millwall players were not lost.


    Aldridge and Heathfield were just like before the game, they shook hands and left each other.


    Coming to the post-match press conference, Aldridge dealt with some Fleet Street reporters, praising Gongde and the like, he was silent, and asked him about the player''s comments in this field, choosing the best player, he replied : "I think my players are doing well. Victory belongs to the team. To say the best, they are all because they are the best team."


    "Including Alonso, known as Pirlo II? And Kaka, Nedved II?"


    Aldrich glanced at the reporter who was talking. He has been used to dealing with the media for many years. Through press cards and face impressions, he roughly guessed that he was a reporter from the German media.


    "What do you want to say? Say it like a man, don''t turn around."


    The other party''s tone was obviously ridiculous. Aldridge did not accompany him. If he wanted to fight in a war of words, he would be just and righteous. With his influence and status in football today, he would never be squandered.


    The Fleet Street reporter silently kept silent and began to prepare to record what happened next. They knew that the good show was coming.


    That reporter is indeed a German reporter. To be honest, the Germans don¡¯t like Aldridge. In addition to being suppressed by the English club in recent years, they also include the national team level. The German team only won once in three matches in two years. Wasn¡¯t it the Aldridge who was the creator of the last confrontation?


    With the addition of football culture and all aspects of the league model, why should German journalists give Audridge a face?


    Bayern Munich have lost, but Millwall is not perfect from start to finish.


    If you want to pick, you can pick it out.


    "I mean, Alonso and Kaka, and Lamore, who were put on the court by you, the performance of these three players was very bad. A direct error by Alonso led to Millwall''s first goal drop. Kaka only touched the ball six times and made two turnovers. Ramor? The same disappeared. Are they also the best players? Are they also one of the best teams in your mouth?"


    The reporter finished his speech with a sullen face, without changing his face. He was telling the truth, and almost no one here could refute.


    Aldridge''s substitution is a failure!


    However, with a 4:0 lead, Aldridge should not be blamed as long as he wins in the end.


    Aldridge smiled, and he said something unanswered.


    "Since six years ago, five years ago, I have heard many familiar titles, Nedved II, Henry II, Shevchenko Jr., Larsen Jr., etc., not just in the UK, There are all over the world, and as far as I know, Henry II of London is devoted to college, Trezeguet Birmingham opened a restaurant, Manchester Ronaldinho was arrested two years ago, Liverpool Shevchenko As a male model, Newcastle Pirlo became a reporter, Leicester Makelele should still be playing football, Liz Southgate got AIDS, Cambridge Schneider disappeared... And Millwall 18-year-old Kaka, 20-year-old Alonso is playing today on the stage of the UEFA Champions League round of 16. The definition of the best team in everyone''s mind is different. In my opinion, the best team must have not only the present but also the future Each player is special and unique. Kaka and Alonso symbolize the future of Millwall. If there is no player like them, Millwall has no future. A team without a future has What qualification is called the best team?"


    Aldridge finished speaking, his expression still smiling, the words sounded superficial, and fell into the ears of everyone in the room, it was magnificent.


    Millwall is not only the best in the contemporary era, but also focuses on the long-term construction in the future!


    They are the best team and the business model for the best team!


    As for what Aldridge said earlier about Henry II of London and Southgate of Leeds, this is a half-truth, but it is by no means completely false.


    In the low season of football news, a wide variety of news will be published in the newspapers. The powerful hype ability of Fleet Street is obvious to all. Oudrich sometimes can see such as a new Shevchenko in Liverpool, or Manchester. A new Makelele, London has another high-profile new Pirlo and so on, looking at Europe, Iceland, Henry, Ronaldinho, Cyprus, Nedved, Luxembourg, and so on.


    But in the end, no one, no one can transcend the template that was originally imitated, and too many, too many are just the meteors that are passing by in the sky.


    On the game play alone, Kaka, Alonso, and Ramor are really bad, but their existence is necessary, the German reporters are no problem, but Aldridge cleverly answers with a more general view , It makes the opponent look inconspicuous. In fact, it is true. The opponent is just to vent their grievances. Other reporters also know that these three players are not performing well. Aldridge''s substitution did not play a positive role in Millwall, but No one will attack, because the overall situation is set.


    The German reporter stopped asking questions, while Fleet Street was inflaming the flames next to it. When a senior reporter saw the game, Hessfield used 4321 to deal with Millwall, and then pushed Barak up to take the tactical intention of the front waist. He came out and made it clear that he wanted to suppress Bayern Munich.


    However, Aldridge responded dumbly to this, saying that he did not comment on his opponents, praising Bayern Munich''s fighting will, nothing more, nothing else.


    At the end of the press conference, Aldridge and the team embarked on their return journey. On the plane flying back to London from Munich, other players were celebrating the victory, but Kaka and Alonso were in a bad mood, 4:0 and 4 : 2, which obviously discounted the effect of victory.


    It just happened that they were scored two times by opponents after they went on the field. Alonso knew that he was performing badly and was very upset.


    He sat by the window and read a book, but for a long time he never turned a page. Kaka listened to music beside him and did not participate in the carnival led by Ronaldinho behind the cabin.


    Aldrich came to sit opposite them, and the two looked up to startled, Alonso closed the book, and Kaka took off the headphones.


    Aldridge bent down slightly, with his elbows on his thighs, and the two players bent down slightly, as if he did not want to look down on Aldridge from the top of his line of sight.


    "Just before I sat down, I just wanted to come over and comfort you briefly, but I suddenly felt that I didn''t need to say that useless **** comfort to you."


    Aldrich was calm, not happy or angry, not because he was deep, but it was indeed neither happy nor angry at this time.


    The expressions of Alonso and Kaka have not changed.


    They really don''t need comfort.


    What is the use of comfort?


    Aldrich pointed to Alonso and said, "You are Alonso."


    He pointed to Kaka again and said, "You are Kaka."


    The two players laughed and were amused by Aldridge''s nonsense.


    Aldridge also smiled and said: "You are a part of the crazy lion, you are young, but I have experienced, coached many young players, and now there are many players in the first team. Before they were 20 years old, I watched them every day. Growing, improving, and going to today, there are also many players who leave. Today, you have encountered a difficult situation, this is not a blow, not a setback, this is only once, uh, looking in the mirror. You should see your shortcomings, know Why is there a gap between yourself and the top stage? Why do you want to write unhappy on your face? Why? Ramor is very happy to celebrate with his teammates, is he not responsible? No, you tell me, you Can you lead the team to victory alone?"


    Both shook their heads.


    Aldridge smiled and said: "Victory belongs to the whole team. Failure is also the responsibility of the whole team. You are part of the team. Don''t put too much pressure on yourself. That''s the wrong attitude. Pirlo, Gattuso, etc. , They have all experienced your current situation. I had some self-blame before, letting you experience a situation that is not something you can afford, but I don¡¯t blame myself now, and I don¡¯t regret it. Today is a very good experience for you. Self, with specific, image goals to work hard, this is the correct mentality."


    Alonso exhaled with relief, and said bitterly: "Boss, I didn''t know how to face you just now, no matter whether you accept it or not, I want to say sorry to you, I think Aron is in the game today Suo is not me at all."


    He was too nervous, maybe, too excited. The opponent was Bayern Munich. At that time, he was leading 4:0 on the road. That atmosphere can easily make the young players'' mentality unbalanced and affect the play on the field.


    Aldrich shook his head with a smile and said, "No need to apologize, Harvey, you can reflect on it. This is what I appreciate. Only in this way can you become stronger in the future. You should also know where you are playing on the court. Is the most important position to think about."


    Alonso nodded firmly.


    Kaka did not look sad, but instead he smiled cheerfully and said, "Boss, today I just want to say a word to you."


    "If it''s an apology, then it''s free. I will be uncomfortable when I listen to it, because I made the decision to change your playing."


    "No, working for you makes me proud, and I am more determined to succeed here in the future."


    "Well, I like to listen to this sentence, but I allow you to say it at most once a season. If there are more, it is that you are flattering me to please me, which will make me unhappy."


    "Hahaha, no, I won''t say it again."


    Kaka kept a smile, he would not say this sentence a second time, but he will always remember it.


    Aldridge stood up and touched Kaka''s head, and left with a smile.


    It was late at night when I returned to London. The Millwall team was still singing when they got off the plane. Three to five groups of people laughed constantly. The joy of victory is expected to make them continue to be excited. Most players chose to go home directly. The players do the usual things to cool down the excitement.


    Ronaldinho, for example, puts energy on a woman, and then falls asleep.


    Larson, they went home. Pirlo, Gattuso, and the singles went to the spa hotel in the city to take a bubble bath to relieve fatigue. It is estimated that they will not return to their home tonight.

 Chapter 737： National team building

    When Aldridge came home, he accidentally discovered that his two sons were not at home.


    In the large jacuzzi in the bathroom, Aldridge lies on his back, and Ewen lies in his arms. Aldridge closes his eyes and enjoys the comfort of the water flowing against his body. .


    "Ear seems to be very interested in making movies. He has been with Danny all day long, and Danny doesn¡¯t bother him. Danny will explain to him what he asked. Earl is very sensible and should be quiet. He doesn¡¯t speak when he¡¯s talking, and he only speaks when others start chatting.¡±


    Millwall went to the away Champions League, Leo Training Base and Lion King Stadium became Danny Cannon¡¯s filming studio. The two sons went there to play during the day today, and Ewen went home in the evening. Arthur took care of it. Two little guys, spend the night on their side tonight.


    Ewen lay in Aldridge''s arms and told him the anecdote of the day. Aldridge kept his eyes closed, his mouth slightly tilted, and he seemed to enjoy it.


    Yiwen turned his head to look at him, and after seeing his expression, he asked curiously, "I''m in a good mood today?"


    "Huh."


    "Strange, Bayern Munich is an old opponent. You are not the first time to win them. Why are you so happy?"


    "Uh, because I am happy, I am happy."


    "Hah, anyway, it''s fun, right?"


    "Yeah."


    Aldrich wrapped her arms around her chest and leisurely said: "Bayern Munich is just a name, but every time it touches it, the situation is different, the story is different."


    Yiwen turned around from lying to lying on his back, reaching for his hair and rubbing his hair without saying a word.


    For Aldridge, there are many things worth remembering about this game.


    Regular games are 90 minutes, but there are too many games, the value of the meaning is not special, or what can be harvested, but the basic value, and today¡¯s game, the harvest is countless times more than those ordinary games, In addition to the experience, exercise, novelty, excitement, passion, and personal pleasure of football meaning itself.


    "I''ll wash your hair."


    Aldridge suddenly sat up, hugging Ewen''s body, faced her, squinted her eyes and raised her lips, then nodded.


    The two left the bath, sitting outside the bath, and Ewen sat behind Aldridge, letting Aldridge caress her hair, dangling with her eyes closed, she leaned back and pressed her back against him ''S chest, suddenly said: "Aldrich, I will give you a baby."


    Aldrich stroked her flat stomach with her hands covered in shampoo foam, and he responded without hesitation: "Okay, but not for me, it''s ours."


    Yiwen turned around and was surprised: "Really? Did you agree?"


    "Why should I object?"


    "Because there are already Earl and Burt."


    "I like children, and one more, two, or more will only make me happier."


    Yiwen lowered his head, his head gently struck his shoulder, and pityed himself: "I''ve always been afraid that you don''t want to have children anymore."


    "why?"


    "Maybe, if there are many children, your fatherly love will be divided into more."


    "Maybe, but that will never be burden or trouble."


    Yiwen raised his head again, got up and washed his hair under the shower, and then beckoned to Aldridge. Aldridge walked over to hug her, and the two hugged and kissed under the rain...


    Fleet Street is sometimes really shamelessly without a lower limit.


    In the next day''s battle report, there was a newspaper that fell to Heathfield.


    "Not only will you cheat, but you will also steal the teacher!"


    Such reports are very gimmicky, not only to raise the old things about Heathfield''s affair scandal last year, but also to crack down on the incident and ridicule.


    Aldrich hates the practice of Fleet Street, but he can¡¯t stand up to say anything about Heathfield, life cheating, losing the game, both are facts, but Fleet Street is hyped on the basis of facts, increasing eye-catching. Selling point.


    In the 26th round of the Premier League on the weekend, after Millwall defeated Bolton 2-0 away, the team was temporarily disbanded and the FIFA match day came.


    Aldrich packed up the pack and led the team to Newcastle. This month the home team of the national team selected the St. James Park Stadium, the home of Newcastle United. The visiting opponent is the Finland team.


    This is an old opponent that Aldridge met while coaching the national team and pushed Finland out of the world preliminaries.


    As for why such opponents are selected, the reason is very simple. Finland and Sweden are both in Northern Europe. The opponents of the England World Cup group stage have come out. Naturally, the soldiers are looking for opponents with similar styles. In this regard, the FA is making plans. After seeing it, Qi also had no opinions. For example, he will play a friendly match with Paraguay in South America next month to understand opponents of different styles.


    During training in Newcastle, Aldridge clearly felt the fatigue of the national team players.


    The medical team''s physical examination report from the medical team is also not ideal.


    On the training ground, Aldridge communicated with the coaching staff. The players were training step by step. They were very tired. After 26 rounds of the league, there were 12 rounds left. This has already begun the sprint of the second half, and Other cups have also entered a critical stage. The main team of the strong team has a dense schedule, can you not be tired?


    But they were clenching their teeth and no one dared to slack off.


    Yes, England has entered the World Cup, England will travel to Asia in the summer, but, in the end, which 23 players England sent, this has not yet been finalized!


    If Aldridge doesn¡¯t bring anyone in the end, it will inevitably be irretrievable. At this stage, it is the time when they really dare not have the slightest mistake. They have worked hard for two years. If they are dissatisfied by the coach because of their slackness at this time And deprecation, this is simply self-inflicted.


    A whistle sounded and the players looked around and saw that it was Aldridge blowing the whistle, which ended the training and went over.


    Aldridge said to them: "I know you are tired."


    The players'' expressions did not change at all.


    I thought in my heart: the coach will say next, um, you are tired, but the World Cup is not far away, you are a professional player, the World Cup is your dream, for the dream, persevere, persevere, persevere...


    "Since you are very tired, let''s take a break. Today''s training is suspended. I feel that I still have energy. Then find a coach to practice alone. Don''t force it. The rest is also part of the preparation."


    Aldridge said naturally.


    "Eh?"


    The whole team looked at each other. Only Southgate raised his hand to greet the assistants such as Aldridge and Klinsmann, and then turned away. He was going to rest in the hotel where the team stayed in training, even if it was not sleeping. Watching TV and lying down to listen to music is also a way to rest and recover.


    He is the captain, and it should be a role model by reason.


    But he left, and no one dared to move.


    On the one hand, Southgate is older. At the age of 31, he pays more attention to the combination of work and rest. Moreover, this idea was first printed in his mind after following Aldridge. On the other hand, Aldridge spoke bluntly. Hypocrisy is hard to carry on training, knowing that continuing training has no effect, there may be a counter-effect, why do you still have to support it?


    To say that Aldridge can really do the same, no one will believe.


    This is human nature.


    Southgate is the captain of Millwall. He is a powerful player under Aldridge. In the World Cup, as long as he is not injured or ill, he will definitely be able to go. Others do not know this.


    Of course, Lampard, Joe Cole, Ashley Cole want to stay and continue training. After all, they are in Tottenham, the schedule is not as dense as clubs like Millwall, Manchester United, Arsenal, basically Just one game a week, they are young, and their physical condition is the best player in the national team training.


    Seaman followed, and the departure of the old goalkeeper made others watch for a long time.


    Many people are secretly guessing, where are those who leave?


    Southgate is the background, Seaman is the age plus the goalkeeper position is indeed very special, in addition, the competition is not fierce.


    Aldrich left two people when he saw it, wondering: "None of you want to rest?"


    No one answered.


    Aldrich understood it. These people go out one by one in suits and leather shoes like a gentleman. It may be complicated.


    I definitely think this is my own "test".


    With a sigh, Aldridge said: "Well, I¡¯ll call on my name, Beckham, Scholes, Irving, Gary Neville... You go back to rest, remember, it¡¯s rest, I hope to see more tomorrow You are more energetic. The rest, stay here to train."


    After his roll call, these people, Beckham, left the training ground in their hearts.


    What is left is basically either the club''s schedule is easy, or it is only a substitute in the club, such as Phil Neville, Bart, McManaman.


    If the staff is not uniform, there is no need for joint training. The significance is not significant. Aldridge arranged for the coach to conduct special training for the players, and he took the time to communicate with the players.


    The main content of the exchange is based on the performance of these players in the club for a period of time.


    This is also one of the work of the coaching team of the national team, constantly tracking the performance of the internationals in the club.


    This part of the work, the players are very serious, because most of them are not playing Millwall, they even hope to get the guidance of Audridge.


    Starting from this year, Aldridge¡¯s national team lineup has crossed out the name of Carragher. It is not that Carragher is not capable, but the original factor. Carragher is still mainly playing as a full-back in the club. The national team does not Needing him to play as a full-back, this precious quota, Aldridge is not willing to waste it on a person who is uneasy to use and may not work well even if used correctly. At the same time, Manchester United¡¯s Brown is troubled by injuries. Missing the big list, another person has become a stable candidate for continuous selection, that is Terry of Chelsea.


    Ranieri is a good coach. Perhaps in the top giants, he did not have the courage to deter big-name players, but to promote and cultivate young players. This kindly good old man definitely has his own uniqueness. Chelsea is getting worse and the debt is high. Now Chelsea After the game, players are not allowed to exchange jerseys with their opponents, because the cost of jerseys is saved, which shows the extent of Chelsea''s financial situation.


    Under such circumstances, Ranieri tapped potential internally, and Terry was promoted to the top. His performance was outstanding. Although he has not reached the first-class level, the potential is obvious to all.


    Aldridge recruited him into the lineup. After all, this is a character who can serve as the captain of the national team. As for his bad luck outside the field, it is estimated that when the outbreak, Aldridge is definitely not in the national team. For the net.


    When communicating with these players alone, Aldridge can feel the respect that the players have for him from the heart, satisfying Aldridge¡¯s vanity is just a piece of cake. The most important thing is to make his work smoother. When discussing separately, there is at least a basis for dialogue and room for communication, which is very beneficial to the development of the team.

 Chapter 738： Arrogant

    On FIFA match day, the news focused on the national team, and the world''s "strong team" England was naturally the subject of follow-up reports on Fleet Street.


    When a reporter discovered that England''s training did not proceed as usual, some players went back to the hotel, and some players stayed at the training base. This time, the paparazzi got busy and dug into the reasons behind it.


    In this short period of time, there are not many news materials, because there are 20 top league teams and 10 leagues in the league. There are many materials that can write news. On FIFA game day, everyone only stares at the national team. The material naturally becomes less.


    As a result, the national team will be caught on Fleet Street and hyped up a little bit.


    "Hall defies Finland!"


    "England ranks! Beckham, Southgate and others have special treatment!"


    "Does Hall know exactly what the World Cup is?"


    ...


    Most tabloids use eye-catching headlines to attract readers in order to earn eyeballs, which is not the case for the more rigorous tabloids, because doing so will hurt their relationship with Audridge, but under the trend, the headlines will converge In other ways, some kind of warning or suggestion was used to report the matter, and some famous places in England also stood up to "teach experience".


    How to face the World Cup?


    What kind of attitude is best before the World Cup?


    This was the national team''s normal arrangement for the players to take a reasonable rest, but it was full of storms. It can be seen that Fleet Street, the hype ability of this European News Center.


    The reporter who really writes must know the truth, but it is written to let the consumer pay the bill.


    Aldrich didn''t care. Such a sloping wind and evil spirits had become orthodox. One day, Fleet Street wouldn''t do that anymore, then the sun would definitely come out from the west.


    Two days later, Aldridge led his team against Finland at the St. James Park Stadium.


    His platoon formation really responded to some tabloid speculation: underestimate the enemy.


    Except for Southgate, the big players are basically sitting on the bench.


    And the formation has also changed to 442.


    Double Germany started at the same time, Aldridge let Lampard go to the midfield, Gerrard hit the midfielder, using Joe Cole and Alan Smith on the front line, just want to experiment with the new tactics of "back midfielder".


    After all, there are too many engineering players in England, and while sitting at home, the opponent Finland will certainly not take the initiative to attack the positional battle at a glance, Aldridge can only take orders, that is not his current style.


    The Finnish team missed the World Cup and were full of resentment. After all, in the world preliminaries, they once occupied the second place in the standings and had the opportunity to grab a play-off spot. In their view, if it is not Aldridge taking over the England national team, then they do not Will be squeezed to the third place.


    When they came to the UK this time, they knew they were invited to be a sparring partner, which aroused their desire to win.


    But desire alone is not enough, and it must be calm. Therefore, they firmly implement anti-anti-tactics on the field, regardless of the attitude of the opponent.


    Bayern Munich lost 2:4 to Millwall at home after the game became the focus. Many experts have repeatedly emphasized in the technical and tactical reviews that Bayern Munich had hopes of winning, but they were confused by the changes of their opponents. In other words, it is because of the change of the opponent that he also made the change, which fell off and planted the seeds of the defeat.


    With this lesson in mind, the Finnish team has a high degree of unity of thinking from top to bottom, and it is anti-reverse. The English team has the ability to draw at home.


    While the game is in progress, Aldridge has been sitting on the coach''s bench, watching the game and discussing with colleagues.


    "Why not use Bart and Hargreaves to form a double back?"


    "Because I think that this World Cup should be Bart''s last national team performance. After the World Cup, Hargreaves has the ability to replace him. He can be better and better than him, and Bart is at Manchester United..."


    Although Aldridge¡¯s contract with the FA will end this summer, he believes that Bart should have no place in the next national team cycle. He still uses him and is giving him the main force. The reason is very simple. The strength is close to the current Hargreaves, but the experience is more abundant than Hargreaves. At the same time, it is also a contact with Manchester. The tacit understanding with Manchester United players on the court is not comparable to Hargreaves. Moreover, he works very hard. Treating this World Cup, his mentality is the same as that of McManaman, and his career, the hardest and the hardest, is this summer! And Hargreaves cannot compare with Bart in terms of mentality, experience, and inner motivation. After all, he is young and will not think that this World Cup is his end.


    No matter how the fans who have just met Hargreaves ten years later define him, the Glassman or the ungrateful, at least the Hargreaves before 2008, the career trajectory has soared, Bayern Munich''s main force, The main force of Manchester United, the main force of the England national team, such a high degree proves his strength. If it is not an injury, why is Manchester United worried about his waist after ten years?


    "This offense...it''s really unbelievable."


    Klinsmann frowned.


    The offensive in England is chaotic, simple and inefficient!


    Aldrich nodded and said, "It seems that I still think too simple. If I want to prepare a second set of techniques and tactics, I have no time to do so. I can only improve on the basis of 4321."


    Lampard, Joe Cole, Alan Smith, these three are at the forefront of the offense. In the case of trapped defenses, they have nothing to do, and the role of the front waist cannot be played because of the lack of On the wing, the midfielder Gerrard defends very hard and has a wide range of defense. However, Barry, the partner, is always a slow shot in the defense. I don¡¯t know whether it is related to his playing as a defender in the club.


    If you let the side defense directly make the full back the first line and the last line of defense, this is extremely dangerous. Especially the positional battle of the England team is not as oppressive as Milwall¡¯s. That kind of oppressive attack, with the threat of a winger, forces the opponent''s full-back and full-back to have to attack back and forth, which is the effect of attacking instead of defending.


    But in the England national team, such an effect can not be played, in turn, the opponent¡¯s counterattack, the starting position of the wing player is more forward, then if the midfielder¡¯s assist wing is slow, it will make the full-back In a very awkward situation, it is especially easy to be penetrated by 2 over 1 cooperation.


    Aldrich¡¯s previous ideas were still slightly naive, perhaps arrogant.


    Just like Tian Ji''s horse racing strategy, 4321 can win. With 4321, if you can''t, you can change to another set of techniques and tactics.


    He has dared to make such a bold attempt in self-signaling for a long time, but has made a low-level mistake.


    A set of technical and tactical experiments, running in, shaping, and maturity, takes a very long time.


    Moreover, it is difficult to say that a team can use both sets of tactics.


    Attacking with left hand and defending with right hand, which one do you want to use?


    I think so, but reality is simply impossible, and other head coaches can''t do it. Aldridge can only do it if he can, and reality teaches him to be a man again!


    Like the England team, after 4321 is hone and matured, and then switch back to 442, they feel awkward to use by themselves. One person may be okay, but it is necessary to let the entire team of 11 people enter the same rhythm and exert their ideal power, unless There are 11 world-class players on the field, so there is no need to struggle with any formations or tactics.


    To rebuild a set of techniques and tactics, you must replace the previous tactical system. It is impossible to say that the previous set is proficient, and now add another set.


    Aldrich made a self-denial. Fortunately, it is only the idea of ??killing the self-destructing Great Wall in the budding period. Even if you have to start, you can only seek change on the basis of 4321. The foundation of this large framework cannot be easily changed.


    Just as Aldrich''s thoughts flew, the Finnish team scored a goal. After a counterattack, Litmanen settled the ball and broke the goal guarded by James. The Finnish team led 1-0 away!


    The Finnish team celebrated passionately at the St. James Park Stadium, like the anger of being out in the cathartic preliminaries and being able to lead the England team at home, which made their catharsis find the right enemy.


    Aldridge stood up and walked to the sidelines, waved towards the players on the court, let the team retreat back, the offense was messy and disorderly, but exposed the defensive problems, this is a typical transformation failure, the offense is not threatening, defensive Instability, the two great weapons on the court, the England team today is not the same.


    On the other hand, the Finnish team firmly defended against the counterattack. On the basis of the success of the defense, it broke the England team''s door. This is also a typical example, as the commentator said depressedly: "This lost ball should sound the alarm for the England team! "


    To be precise, Aldridge was awakened.


    In the final analysis, the pursuit on the football field is nothing more than two kinds, either offensive and invincible. This is a good understanding. I scored one more goal than you and I took away the victory. Either the defense is solid, and this is developed on the basis of the former. My attacking power is not as good as you. Then I can only restrict you. On the basis of the success of the defense, I find the way to victory. Defensive victory is also common. For example, the Italians are on the chain. The defensive esteem, that desperate 1:0, has broken down the spirit of how many coaches who pursued offense?


    Aldridge''s original thinking was clear. The England team can''t play an unstoppable offense, so they can only pursue the second kind. Why is the 442 enduring? But it is difficult to carry forward on the originator of the England team? Because 442 is too balanced, and balanced, it becomes mediocre.


    4321 is to find victory on the basis of defense. Now Audridge tries to subvert this point. He is arrogant and punished. Now, he takes the initiative to correct this.


    But for a while, he couldn¡¯t let the team change his mind uniformly on the sidelines. He could only let the team slow down the rhythm, don¡¯t rush to attack, that is, don¡¯t give opponents a good chance to fight back. In this way, when the half break, He made further adjustments.


    At halftime, the score did not change and the England team trailed 0:1.


    Aldridge rearranged his tactics in the locker room. The four guards remained unchanged, and he changed back to the three-waist. Others did not require much. The tactical routine changed back to the usual one.


    In this way, the second half of the game became very boring, Finland led, England also based on defense, no risky offense, on the scene, the two teams saw back and forth in the midfield to compete for the ball, no one can attack, 25 minutes in the second half , The number of shots added by both sides is: 0!


    Later, it turned into long-range and positioning luck in Bo.


    Aldridge really has a headache now.


    The current scene is the most painful situation for the England team. The opponent does not take the initiative to attack, and the score is behind. The tactics themselves are threatened by counterattacks. However, without the opportunity to counterattacks, the threat will naturally not come out.


    Live shots frequently locked Aldridge, and Klinsmann, Jenson, and the coaching staff members'' expressions were roughly the same, frowning and clouded.


    A friendly match doesn''t matter, but if England gets behind in the World Cup, how to play?


    On the basis of unwavering 4321 tactical foundation, how can this extreme defensive counterattack formation change?


    After all, England still has too few talented players. If there can be another skilled player who is good at dribbling, or a master organizer, Aldridge and his colleagues will not be worried about their hair, but England No such player...

 Chapter 739： Virtual reality

    England lost.


    At the St. James Park Stadium, there was no goal to rewrite the score in the plain second half. At the end of the game, there was a boo in the stands.


    0: 1.


    England lost at home to Finland''s defeat in the preliminaries.


    Fans can understand that they are dissatisfied. They think that it is not worth buying tickets to watch the game. First of all, popular idol stars like Beckham and Irving don¡¯t show up, the fans are not satisfied, and second, the game loses.


    This is the second defeat of Aldridge coaching the national team, also in a friendly match, the last defeat was Oslo half a year ago.


    After the game, Aldridge came to the locker room and said to the group of players who lost the game in the last game and said: "This game is lost, it is irreversible, but I hope you understand that what we are doing now Everything is preparing for the World Cup. Don¡¯t be discouraged. We are not a perfect team. We have a lot of areas for improvement. This requires us to work together. Every player, every coach, we work together, Struggling to make the England team stronger before the World Cup. In this defeat, we found many problems. This is a good phenomenon. It is better to find problems now than to go to the World Cup. If it is then, we will There is no room for remedy, I hope you understand this."


    Aldridge¡¯s words were very contagious and persuasive. The players were all in the spirit. The head coach came out and told them: We are on the right path, but we haven¡¯t reached the end yet. On the way, there will naturally be setbacks, and today it is.


    After the game, Aldridge was on the cusp of the storm. After all, he lost to a second-class European team at home. England seemed to be beaten back overnight, becoming a paper tiger that made fans worry about it and could not sleep.


    "Hall paid a terrible price for his underestimation!"


    "Disgraceful defeat! The England team should get up!"


    ...


    The storm lasted for a few days. When Aldridge returned to the club, he changed back to the mad lion who was admired by thousands of people.


    Fleet Street is also funny enough. A few days ago, he still ridiculed and ridiculed him. He devalued Audridge to nothing. He was so arrogant, empty-eyed, lacking experience in the international arena, and so on.


    Not even three days later, Fleet Street began to pat Aldridge''s ass.


    "The young master led the mad lion into the four consecutive Premier League countdown!"


    "Middlesbrough can''t stop the strong mad lion, the young handsome is aiming for the first crown of the new year, the League Cup!


    ...


    The 27th round of the Millwall Premier League is scheduled for the early stage. At the same time, the FA also announced that Millwall will play the 28th round two days later.


    This is Millwall''s application to the FA, before FIFA match day.


    They adjusted the schedule, not to push the game back, but to advance the game, because next weekend, they will play in the League Cup final, the opponent is Blackburn.


    In the 28th round, the opponent was Aston Villa. The Football Association consulted Aston Villa and obtained the agreement of Aston Villa. Probably, they think that Millwall has two games in 3 days. Fort consumes them first, and then their chances of defeating the mad lion at home will increase greatly.


    Millwall had no choice, the schedule was too **** intensive!


    Three days of the two-match league on the weekend, playing the Champions League next week, and the League Cup final on the weekend, actually four games in eight days!


    If the crazy lions do not adjust the schedule, then the 28th round of the league behind the match, it is estimated that it will be the same situation, after all, there is the FA Cup.


    In the final analysis, it was the Champions League system and the crashes of England''s local competition system.


    The UEFA Champions League 16 still has to play 6 games to decide the top 8, which happens to be the start of the FA Cup in England.


    But it wasn¡¯t just England that suffered. The strong teams in other leagues began to feel overwhelmed. After a season, there were too many games.


    Voices have been raised within the G14, with Millwall as the representative, hoping to unite internally to pressure UEFA and reform the system again, but it is very difficult to make the G14 internal opinions completely unified. This is very difficult after all. If you can participate in the Champions League and play a few more games, you will be able to make a lot of money. This is a dispute of interests, not a rational discussion.


    Perhaps due to the influence of FIFA match day, Millwall failed to win Middlesbrough when he sent the main game at home.


    Two days later, Millwall was visiting Vera Park, taking the main shift, and coming off the bench. Aston Villa, who was going to cut Millwall down at home, was defeated by Millwall''s bench lineup with a score of 3-1.


    Two more days later, Millwall ushered in Galatasaray''s challenge at home, slowed down the main force, and won the Turkish giants with 2-0 soldiers in the Lion King Stadium.


    Next, the Millwall team went to the Cardiff Millennium Stadium to welcome the first game of the New Year, the League Cup final.


    In the past three games, the outside world has seen a small pattern. Millwall played these three games with the rotation of the main force and the bench. The main game played two games, one win and one tie. The bench played one game and won. By the time it was the League Cup final, it was time for the bench to play. After all, Millwall still has the Champions League task next week. Obviously, Millwall is now more ambitious about the Champions League.


    At the press conference before the game, the reporter also asked about this.


    "In your nearly eight years of coaching career, except in the second year, you won the double cup king with the main lineup. After that, Millwall will train newcomers in the cup. If you can reach the final, Millwall will only All of the main players will be sent to the stage. Tomorrow is the final of the League Cup. Will Millwall send the main players to the game? But they just played a Champions League two days ago and will fight Boavista four days later. Their physical strength is no problem. ?"


    Aldridge replied honestly: "I will give a lot of young people a chance to start tomorrow. I think this season is a bumper season for us. It does not mean that we have got a charity shield, Super Cup, Toyota Cup. Honor, but rather, I am very happy to see the progress and maturity of these young players like Villa, Alonso, Kaka, De Rossi, Metzelder, etc. Now, I think there are some of them You can stand on the stage of the finals, not feel the atmosphere, but have enough strength to play talent on that stage, use your own ability to help the team win honors, and make greater contributions to the team. Millwall this season There are a lot of matches, and then we have tough battles. It is necessary to allocate players'' physical fitness reasonably. Especially, considering that there are still World Cups waiting for them, as the coach, I have the responsibility and obligation to let them have enough energy to deal with the upcoming World Cup."


    Aldrich¡¯s interview was a signal to tell Blackburn that Millwall would not send the strongest lineup in the final.


    Regarding this information, Blackburn coach shook his head and responded: "Hall is a coach who is very good at psychological warfare. I think he is releasing smoke bombs. He wants to disrupt our deployment of the game. I don¡¯t believe he will do that. You know, tomorrow¡¯s final, if you win, you can take away the championship trophy, and lose. No one will sympathize with him. He throws the pressure on the young players. This is debatable, so he is definitely still Will send the strongest lineup in the finals according to the usual practice."


    I have to say that Aldridge''s remarks made the outside world suspicious, Millwall, known as the "trophy harvester", came to the final without using the strongest lineup, that is, with the greatest probability to win the trophy, is it possible?


    Even Fleet Street didn¡¯t believe Aldridge¡¯s remarks, and they had the same attitude as Blackburn: this **** smoke bomb! Whoever is deceived!


    The following day, Millwall and Blackburn division Cardiff Millennium Stadium, two hours before the game, the live broadcast unit''s workplace and the reporters who reported on the scene received the starting list of both parties.


    Basically, there will be no major changes to this list, unless a player is unwell during the warm-up and is temporarily adjusted out of the list.


    After seeing Millwall''s starting list, almost all Fleet Street reporters have written off...


    Fuck!


    Aldrich''s falsity is driving reporters crazy.


    Millwall dispatched half of the main team, and the half team came off the bench to play.


    smoke bomb?


    Sorry, everything Aldridge said is true.


    They underestimated Aldridge''s integrity. True, sometimes he would make a fuss and put a smoke bomb, but once he made a promise to the player, he would definitely fulfill it. This is related to the coach''s character.


    As he said before the game, he will give young people a chance to play in the finals and praise them for their progress this season, then? smoke bomb? Don''t give them a chance? Players will also watch the news, won''t they be disappointed? They have become Aldrich''s pawns to confuse the enemy, will there be negative emotions?


    Therefore, Aldridge is telling the truth. When it comes to the specific arrangement of players, he will take it very seriously.


    The Millennium Stadium is occupied by fans from both sides and local Welsh fans. Millwall fans attach great importance to this final. No matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat. Millwall has not been involved in the League Cup for more than two years. As the king of England, one For a dynasty team, fans naturally hope that the trophy they can get will not miss the best.


    Players from both sides lined up.


    "The 01-02 season of the English League Cup final is about to start. This season''s performance is still strong. It can be said that it is the strongest Millwall in these years. Finally, it has returned to the League Cup final. Their opponent Blackburn wants to get from Mill. It is not difficult for Wall to **** the trophy in hand. There are many speculations about Millwall''s starting list before the game. Now that the players have entered the field, there will be no mistakes. Here is a brief introduction to Millwall''s starting lineup.


    Goalkeeper: Palyuka.


    Guards: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.


    Midfielders: Gattuso, Alonso, Kaka.


    Forwards: Villa, Klose, Ramor.


    ..."


    That''s right, this is the main force of the half-team. The half-team substitute, although it is a mashup, is also well organized.


    Aldridge uses the main defense, with the offense of the bench, at least, so he has a bottom.

 Chapter 740： The goal came inexplicably

    The Blackburn coach was right.


    Aldrich''s platoon formation caused confusion and disrupted his arrangement.


    Originally, Millwall was super first-class and powerful, and Blackburn could firmly defend against it. It really could not stop the indiscriminate bombardment of his opponents. Everyone tried their best. The so-called do everything to obey the destiny, weak and weak, could not control its own destiny.


    But today, when looking at Mallor Gobi, Millwall really put all the big names on the bench!


    The attack group led by Klose has some power, but there is a huge gap from the diamond attack group with Henry as the arrow.


    Blackburn coach scratched his head, scratching his head, his scalp was almost torn.


    From time to time he glanced at Aldridge, who was sitting on the coach seat, and was almost ready.


    What is the wishful thinking of this young handsome?


    Needless to say, Aldridge has been respected by countless people in this business, as has the coach of his peers.


    When Aldrich first became famous, everyone felt that this was a junior junior, and he had better luck. Even if he had patience, the older coach was mostly unconvinced and unwilling to be convinced.


    But over the years, Millwall¡¯s brilliance has shined brilliantly. Aldridge has created a division that is comparable to the golden team in the history of football. The mentality of his peers has also changed subconsciously, respecting, respecting, admiring, There is one more important thing to learn: beat him!


    Proud to defeat Aldridge!


    Just like many teams take pride in beating Millwall, and even some weak teams can score Millwall a goal, regardless of the final result of the game, it will make their fans and players ecstatic!


    Many coaches now have the same mentality.


    Lose to you, not shameful.


    But to win you, this is too glorious!


    From a utilitarian point of view, Aldridge and Millwall are a perfect stepping stone to fame.


    Players can make a name for themselves, but if you are scoring a goal against a semi-professional and professional team like Cambridge United, who will call your name?


    But if you are scoring against Millwall, no matter how obscure it was in the past, you will definitely be able to reach the headlines of the football section the next day, and your reputation will increase dramatically.


    The coach can be famous in one battle, defeating Aldridge, and such a coach can also stand out for a while.


    With a humble attitude and a challenge to Aldridge¡¯s faith, the Blackburn coach has prepared for this game for a long time. Tactically, players have thought, team attitude, all sides have worked hard, anyway, they have not The pressure of relegation, if you can win the League Cup, is basically equivalent to a successful end of the season. This is not the year when Hiller and Sutton played against Blackburn in the throne.


    But Millwall''s platoon formation today made the Blackburn coach feel bad.


    He glanced at Millwall''s bench, Henry, Larson, Nedved, Ronaldinho, all on the list.


    Will it?


    Blackburn coach thought of a possibility.


    Aldridge is not the main attack group, it must be for the sake of the next game, the player''s physical fitness must be reasonably arranged.


    However, in this game, let the young players first hit, and play with Blackburn.


    Wait until about the same time, then sacrifice the main attack group with strong firepower. Of course, you can only change three places, but not to mention three. Those few main forces can not be underestimated.


    Blackburn coach thought for a long time, agreed with his guess.


    Aldridge must have planned that!


    You know, this game is not a regular 90 minutes, in case there is no difference in 90 minutes, and there is extra time!


    Players have entered a watershed stage in about 70 minutes of physical fitness. Even if they have strong willpower, they will insist on 90 minutes, but it is too difficult to make the 120 minutes completely unchained. This is especially difficult for the defensive players. .


    The more he observes the game, the more he believes in his judgment.


    Because Millwall does not attack aggressively, Blackburn has taken a defensive posture from the beginning. The attacking power of Millwall''s backup lineup has a slight advantage in playing an offensive and defensive balance, but it is worse if he needs to break through the intensive defense. Huohou.


    The game was relatively unsettled. Millwall''s offensive rhythm was very regular. After a long shot from both feet, he tried to penetrate once, and then two shots from a long shot penetrated, and so on and back, but Blackburn was an iron plate, and the defensive formation was not loose. However, unless Millwall hits the level of threatening to break the table, he can only return without success.


    Although Blackburn is strictly guarded, it does not mean that their physical energy consumption is low. It is impossible for the defensive formation to drag the bus statically in the penalty area. It is necessary to do so when pressing up in time. Because not pushing up, it is equal to To allow Millwall to exert pressure on the periphery unscrupulously, but after going up the top, there is a little wind and grass in the front, and the back line will quickly retreat, looking like the wind is fleeing.


    Between such a restricted area and the midfield and backcourt, the defensive player''s nerves are always tight, and he will explode and accelerate to run for a short distance, which will definitely have an impact on physical fitness. Moreover, the speed of the defender is not as good as that of the forward. The speed of the guard has decreased, and the contrast is more obvious when the striker broke out.


    Because of this, the Blackburn coach does not want to be led by Millwall. He is afraid that Millwall is playing attrition today. Look, Millwall is the main defense on the bench, the offense is offense, and the substitute player is attacking. This Isn''t it cannon fodder?


    The game lasted for 30 minutes. Blackburn had only two shots. There was no steady threat of attack. Basically, it was where he hit the ball. If he had a chance, he would take a shot and try his luck.


    The Blackburn coach no longer hesitated and waved his hand to give tactical instructions to the players on the sidelines.


    The players on the court saw the situation and did not dare to violate the coach¡¯s intentions. In the plan prepared before the game, the coach made such an offensive instruction, which should only be done when the score is behind. It is still a draw. Thinking deeply, the execution is right.


    Blackburn began to increase his offensive force, focusing on midfield interception and then put his effort into the offensive.


    Aldridge was sitting on the floor and his expression was not exciting. In fact, he was thinking about how to break Blackburn''s intensive defense.


    It was only when the game had to be changed that he would make a change if it was a tie in the 60 minutes of the second half.


    However, Blackburn suddenly changed the posture on the field and took the initiative to attack. Aldridge blinked, somehow, why did the other party attack?


    Do you want to attack it?


    No, Millwall¡¯s offensive was not over-invested, it was quite satisfactory, and their defense lines were tightly arranged. If Millwall¡¯s pressure is high, the other party will suddenly change his posture, and it is really possible to play Milwaukee within a certain period of time. I was caught off guard.


    The sudden change now is not tactical upside down?


    What is the reason for the opening to prevent death?


    Isn''t it to limit Millwall''s offensive space?


    Now I voluntarily give up this practice, why did you do that in the first 30 minutes?


    Confused Millwall?


    Aldrich just likes to think about it blindly, because he feels that he has made these thoughts transparent and can apply them to become his own things. Of course, take the essence and remove the dross.


    Blackburn attacked upwards, Millwall commanded the team''s defense of Southgate to see the opponent''s posture, and suddenly he was happy, he did not let his teammates rush up to withstand the hard opponent, on the contrary, he commanded his teammates to retreat .


    Isn''t the opponent attacking? Let them attack!


    Without seeking pressure from the opponent''s soldiers, as long as the midfield line is pushed up, the space between the midfield and the opponent''s penalty area becomes larger, and Millwall''s offensive opportunities will be much better.


    Since Blackburn took the initiative to attack, seeing that the Millwall formation was suppressed and withdrawn, naturally it is following the trend!


    They passed the midfield but encountered a strong block in Millwall''s penalty zone.


    Materazzi successfully defended the opponent''s position as the forward with the ball, then cut the ball and then passed the ball to Gattuso, who then passed the ball to Alonso.


    Blackburn is not Bayern Munich. The defensive quality of the attack and defense is quite different. Alonso ran out of space before receiving the ball. After receiving the ball, he turned around and drove in front of him. Longsuo chose a long pass.


    Ground ball pass.


    It was passed to Kaka, and it was in front of Kaka, giving Kaka space to start rushing forward.


    When Kaka caught up with the ball, the opponent''s midfielder almost grabbed the ball. Kaka saw a bad situation and kicked the ball to Ramor on the left.


    Ramor got the ball, Kaka''s position was already behind. In this wave of attack, the front waist was not in position, but Kaka''s task was done well. First, he played the ball and transferred the offense. Second, he attracted the opponent''s Lower back.


    Ramall took the ball inwards, he brought the ball to the front waist, when the pressure was in front of the penalty area, the opposing defender had to come up to block him. He passed the ball to the defender, Klose had been waiting for it. After the successful anti-offside, he took the lead and adjusted with a stop. A volley shot sent the ball into the upper right corner of the goal.


    "In the 37th minute of the first half, Millwall scored, Klose helped the team lead, assists from Ramall, it is strange, Black should have been the defensive counterattack, but Millwall played A wave of fast breaks resulted in a goal drop."


    In the Millennium Stadium, the fans of the crazy lions are excited. Don¡¯t look at the stars who don¡¯t have the main attack group today. But that¡¯s it. They can still lead. What does it mean? Explain that the thickness of Millwall''s lineup does not need to worry, every substitute player can play with it!


    Klose turned back and pointed to Ramall, smiling and hugging his teammates. This was a final, a game that won the championship trophy, and scored in such a game. Klose compared The progress a year or two ago can be said to be very intuitive.


    Aldridge pondered for a long time, still did not understand what the Blackburn coach was thinking.


    He turned his head to communicate with his coaching staff and tried to get others to help him analyze and analyze the cause of the goal.


    Millwall is not a particularly typical counterattack, because Blackburn¡¯s line of defense is relatively complete. When the defense is turned from attack, the center forward, the midfielder, plus the four backs, at least 6 people participated in the defense, not That kind of defender line gives you a free opportunity behind you, and a great counter chance for a straight ball to penetrate the defense line.


    However, Blackburn''s active attack reduced the tightness of the midfield defense. The enlarged offensive space was in the midfield. Only then did Alonso, Kaka, and Ramall cooperate in this area to tear the opponent''s defense.


    "I don''t understand, to say that the Jedi counterattack, the timing and timing are not right."


    Jenson shook his head, he also saw the doorway. Although Millwall is powerful, it is impossible to play a magnificent game, but at the coach level, the game is often difficult for the audience to find, or to pay attention to observe, also I don''t care about it. After all, the fans still focus on appreciation.


    Black was supposed to attack, yes, but there is a big premise, that is, the defense is successful. Secondly, in terms of time selection, it should be Millwall''s physical decline. They gritted their teeth to fight a wave of bursts to fight, and the timing, then They can also take advantage of the impatience that Millwall may not be able to attack for a long time, the defense line is exposed, and they launch a sudden attack.


    But Blackburn happened to be when these two conditions and the basic conditions did not exist or were immature, he hurriedly attacked and laid a hidden danger for losing the ball.


    Aldrich couldn''t understand it, so he could only laugh and applaud the team for the goal.


    This goal came inexplicably. In vain, he was still thinking about how to change to break Blackburn''s intensive defense. If every opponent is like this, how beautiful is the world? !

    Speaking of Blackburn¡¯s coach, in the early 21st century, not many fans will remember him, understand him, even if it is a new generation of local fans, if there is no Red Army DNA, I am afraid he knows very little about him, only This is an unknown Scottish coach.


    However, 24 years ago, he set a new record for the transfer fee of the English club. In the era of players, he joined Liverpool and formed the Liverpool gold midfielder at the time, and served as the core. It created the unifying English domestic stadium at that time and established a red army in Europe. !


    His name is Soneness, Graeme Sonnes, and his first season with the Reds was when he assisted Dalglish in the Champions League final and scored the winning goal for the Reds to top Europe!


    In that era, he was a shining star.


    It is conceivable that he and Dalglish are people of the same era. How brilliant the player era is, coaching is two different things. As a player, he can despise Aldridge, but as a head coach, just like his former teammate Dalglish In that way, losing to Aldridge, there is no need to be dissatisfied. A lot of old rivers and lakes are the defeat of Aldridge. In the field of coaches, he has only led Liverpool in the last five leagues. Just got an FA Cup.


    The advantages of older coaches are experience and shortcomings, that is, outdated ideas, not keeping up with changes in the times, and lack of innovation.


    Moreover, the longer the immersion time in the past era, the more easily they are bound.


    For example, influenced by the style of British high-flying and high-playing, Dalglish returned to the rivers and lakes ten years later, and the Liverpool technology and tactics he led obviously failed to keep up with the times. Instead, he showed signs of retro regression. The reason why Ferguson succeeds is that he also maintains innovative thinking like a young man in the column of the old coach. Manchester United failed to transform this season and suffered a miserable end, but the determination and will to change from Ferguson is just this courage and Thinking, it can be seen that it is extraordinary. For others, don¡¯t say if you have the courage to try, I am afraid that you will not think of breaking through the innovation revolution.


    In the end is Sone''s fear of Millwall playing attrition? Or is he not willing to be beaten and passively beaten?


    Only he knows the answer.


    Perhaps it is the player''s career plus the experience accumulated before his coaching career that affects his thinking.


    Aldridge had the opportunity to confront Sonnes in the first year of the Premier League. Unfortunately, it was at that time that Sonnes and Liverpool''s seniors collapsed and immediately left. They did not return to the Premier League to coach Blackburn until 2000. .


    The match in the league, Millwall vs. Blackburn, this is obviously a strong and weak confrontation, and Millwall did not accidentally brush a winning streak on Black itself.


    Due to the continuous defeat of Millwall in the previous league, Sonez had to arrange anti-anti-tactics in this final, but when the game was in progress, he overturned this arrangement by himself, and then, Blackburn lost the ball .


    Sonez stood on the sidelines and had mixed feelings. When their old friends met privately, Dalglish said: I am lucky than you, because when I coached Newcastle United, Millwall was not as strong as it is now. The crazy lion makes the opponent feel desperate.


    Sonez listened then, but he dismissed it.


    Dalglish is outdated. He took a slap in Blackburn, but in Newcastle United, he went to the Celtics as a technical director a few years ago. He also joined forces with the former coach Barnes. Called the perfect combination, the result? The Celtics'' performance was a disaster. Barnes was fired. Dalglish personally played for the Celtics. As a result, he was beaten by the rival Glasgow Rangers by more than 20 points at the end of the season, and the latter O''Neal only used After a season, the Glasgow Rangers were reversed, and the Celtics were brought back to the throne.


    This is the reality gap. The reason why Sonnes would think so, because he had wonderful memories in Scotland. At the beginning of his coaching career, a basket of championships was won in Scotland. The team he leads is the Celtics rival Glasgow. Wanderer.


    It wasn''t until standing on the field of the final that Sonez knew how far he was from Dalglish.


    This gap has nothing to do with coaching ability, but the realm.


    Dalglish has always looked at Millwall with a king mentality.


    Sonez led Blackburn to face Millwall in the past one and a half seasons, and belonged to two worlds. Blackburn lost and no one would care about it, just like Crystal Palace lost to Manchester United. Is it true that fans and club executives, the ball Inside the team, will resentment sky? Will be extremely angry?


    No, everyone is not a one-level team. The weaker side does not have that sense of crisis and loses. It seems to be taken for granted.


    In the finals, the meaning is very different, the sense of crisis, the desire to win, the meaning and pressure brought by the champion, so that Sonez''s attitude towards the game has changed dramatically.


    He had to think about it, had to look at Millwall and Aldridge again, and had to do a lot of things that he would never do or think about when he played in the league.


    But it was after such a change in mentality that he realized that Dalglish was telling the truth!


    Unfortunately, it was too late for him to wake up. Now that Blackburn is one goal behind, he can only do one thing and desperately let the team attack!


    In the 43rd minute of the first half, Southgate led the back line, with Gattuso Alonso as the first, the overall back line was pushed forward, and in the midfield, Blackburn was madly forced to grab. After the interception was successful, quickly To launch a fast break.


    When Blackburn didn''t expect it to be his mad attack, Millwall didn''t take it back to fight back, directly strangling their midfield organization to attack, and then turned the gun and killed them by surprise!


    Ramall again!


    He observed the ball on the left for a second and then sent a long diagonal pass from the side to the penalty area.


    Villanice went straight to the goal after the goal, the opponent''s defender turned and could not keep up.


    At a very small angle, Villa dared forward and jumped, facing the falling ball and flicking his head to the goal. The ball flew into the goal from the middle of the goalkeeper who blocked the corner of the goal.


    After heading the goal, Villa fell out of the bottom line and could not care about anything else. He turned his head directly to see the sideline. The sideline did not raise his flag to indicate that he was offside. The referee also whistled his finger in the middle to indicate that the goal was valid.


    Villa stood up and rushed to the side, kneeling and celebrating.


    "Good thing! Villa helped Millwall lead Blackburn 2-0. His brave and trembling head dive is really wonderful. I believe he must have a very high appreciation when he freezes his head at the small angle in the air. , A few years ago, the outside world thought that Villa would be another excellent youth training product of Millwall, but it was not until this season that he reached the height that people expected. However, now for him, it is just the beginning, just Is the beginning."


    Aldridge rushed excitedly to the side and waved his arms to celebrate, staged assists for Lamor who scored twice, and Villa who scored a header, which made him very excited, which further proved the strength of the crazy lion, not only The names that shine in football, and these players who cannot divide the light of big-name stars, their growth and progress represent the future of the team and a good addition to the present.


    At the end of the first half, Millwall led by two goals.


    Sonnes was awakened by the second goal drop. He walked into the player¡¯s channel with a sullen face. Now the team is going through a difficult situation. He knows that it is impossible to help the team to reverse by simply attacking. He needs to think calmly Countermeasures.


    With the team leading by two goals, Aldridge naturally has nothing to adjust. The key is that the difference in strength is probably obvious. He can''t see any good plan for Blackburn to deal with Millwall.


    Before the start of the second half, Aldridge returned to the coach seat to sit, his expression was calm, this is his usual attitude, the game does not end, he will not show victory gesture in advance.


    Sonez returned to the stadium calmly as well. He stood on the sidelines and said that he was not in what mood. He was slightly anxious and looking forward.


    Worried that his tactical changes will be ineffective, and looking forward to bringing the team a victory.


    After the start of the second half, Aldridge watched the game for 5 minutes, and suddenly a bang.


    Blackburn has changed!


    Long pass!


    This tactic may be outdated in the contemporary era, but it will never be outdated!


    Because there will always be "a long pass to the opponent''s danger zone, the striker seizes the opportunity to finalize".


    The formation will be outdated, but the tactics will not. No matter how old the tactics may be, the tactics that were used a hundred years ago are not used by anyone today. It is just because the tactics used to be too simple and now richer. The former core tactical system is now only one. The components of a set of new techniques and tactics do not mean that the past tactics have disappeared.


    Blackburn is playing a long pass and can take advantage of their players, that is to be strong and strong!


    When the Premier League is popular in Asia, Chinese fans will call Blackburn a violent book. This is not because of the style of the ball, but when Cantonese translates the team name, Blackburn¡¯s translation of Cantonese is similar to the violent book. Know that winning the Premier League Blackburn of the championship, the technical and tactical play is very pleasing.


    It was only after the relegation experience. In the environment where the British League relies on physical confrontation to survive, Blackburn recruited. The team¡¯s technical and tactical rebuilding is necessary. It must conform to the living environment. After returning to the Premier League, in order to relegate, hands The cards are not good, so in order to survive in the Premier League, the style of the ball is slightly rough and tough. This is not uncommon. Among the relegation teams in national leagues, there are always teams that can only rely on physical confrontation and aggressiveness. The title is also more impressive because of their current status, but the root is not here.


    In this season, Blackburn is relegated without worries, so he can¡¯t commit himself to fighting with other opponents on the court, and endless endless hatred, especially the tough and rough style, is the most likely to cause disputes in the field. There is a big gap between the "violent books", but their players are in good health. This is a strength, and it should be played.


    "This opponent''s intermission is really a bit of work."


    Aldridge sighed with emotion.


    Klinsmann said with a smile: "Sones has figured out some factors that he should understand or think of before the game, and he finally wants to understand at halftime."


    "Now playing like this, Blackburn may not have a chance."


    Aldridge was talking, the situation on the field was abrupt.


    A high ball came from Blackburn''s backcourt. In the midfield area, Gattuso failed to grab the landing point for the first time, but there was no Blackburn player there, so the ball continued to bounce back after the ball bounced, and fell second The point will be in the area between the large restricted area line and the small restricted area line.


    Materazzi and the opponent''s striker turned around to chase down the landing point. Materazzi was one step ahead, but the other party fell under physical contact.


    The referee whistle to stop the game, finger penalties.


    Materazzi went to grab the second landing point, naturally he didn''t care what happened behind him. At that time, how could Kung Fu look back, he controlled the ball, but saw that Schneider was not in position, but turned towards this side Trotting over, the direction was not right, he looked back and found that the referee had stopped the game, he realized that he was awarded a foul and gave his opponent a penalty.


    Materazzi picked up the ball with an innocent grin, he was grumpy, but this really made him confused, and he was sentenced to foul without knowing what he did. In fact, his first thought was that his teammates had Who fouled, only to find that the other teammates seemed to be non-party to the head referee to protest, he realized that he was fouled.

 Chapter 742： Suppression and guidance

    "At the beginning of the second half, the referee made a controversial penalty. Through slow motion, we saw Millwall and Blackburn players turn around in the penalty area to grab the ball, but Blackburn players are more like themselves. He accidentally kicked Materazzi''s foot and fell to the ground, but the referee gave Millwall a foul in the penalty area and gave Blackburn a penalty."


    Players on both sides of the court pressured the referee while protesting to the referee.


    Materazzi walked up to the striker holding the ball, not finding fault, but asked calmly, "I fouled?"


    "Well, you fouled!"


    He nodded without changing his face. He fell anyway and the referee awarded a penalty.


    Materazzi stepped back and looked at the referee with his hands on his hips. This kind of protest would certainly not change the referee''s penalty unless the striker went to the referee to explain it like Nedved did before. Penalty, but last time, even if Nedvide asked the referee to explain, he still did not change the result of the penalty, but he took the initiative to return the penalty to his opponent, and won numerous praises for Nedvide. This is a kind of player temperament. Sublimation, let people see his personality charm.


    At other times, Materazzi certainly rushed to the head referee. His head was sober that it was impossible to change the penalty. However, he must put pressure on the head referee. This time the penalty cannot be changed, but the next time must be eliminated.


    Now that Southgate is taking the lead and other players are doing this kind of work, he will not pass it, so as not to be shown a yellow card.


    Aldridge was too far away to see what was happening at that moment. Perhaps the small action entanglement between Materazzi and the other party was seen by the referee. Anyway, this kind of thing does not go to the video playback, it is unclear at all.


    However, as the coach, he stood up and walked to the fourth official. What he had to do was very simple, to protest the pressure.


    Sonnes saw Aldridge walking towards the fourth official, and he also went over there. He knew that now Aldridge has a lot of "potential energy" in England, and the influence of the referee is a manifestation, such as Milwaukee. At home, the conventional home whistle and the partial whistle are more obvious. The referee has very strict standards for foul standards. This is actually to protect Millwall. If Millwall is a team known for its rough style, then the referee The standards for foul standards will be relaxed.


    Sonez wants to stop Aldridge from affecting the referee.


    Aldridge just greeted the fourth official, and the other party also solemnly prepared to communicate with Aldridge and change other coaches. The fourth official ignored it, but Aldridge came, and now no English referee will ignore it. After all, it must be said that it will not affect the future. The referees who once let Millwall lose the penalty, are not mixed anyway.


    "It was a penalty! A clear penalty! No doubt."


    This sentence is not what the fourth official said to Aldridge, because the fourth official would not say such a thing.


    It was Sonnes, he did not come to Audridge to cause conflict, so the tone of his speech was slightly weak in calm.


    Aldridge saw the nearly half-a-half coach say this sentence to himself, somehow, and wanted to laugh.


    "Penalty? Are you sure? My player fouled?"


    "Well, I''m sure he fouled."


    "What action did he foul? Can you describe it?"


    "He... he fouled, it was a penalty."


    Sonesi is poorly qualified. He is farther from the place of the incident than Aldridge. It is absolutely impossible to see better than Aldridge.


    Even Aldridge is not sure about the details. Sonnes'' anger is not known from where?


    But after a few words, Aldridge knew that the other party was black and white, as long as the result.


    He said nothing more and turned his head back.


    What he needs to express has been fully expressed in the dialogue with Sonnes, as long as the fourth official is not a fool, he will understand.


    Blackburn''s coach can''t tell the details of the foul, and can only bite that it is a penalty. The referee does not need to give an explanation, but if it becomes the focus after the game, it may cause big waves.


    Aldridge¡¯s mentality is still very peaceful. After coaching for so many years, he is more and more able to accept the sentence: Misjudgment is part of football.


    In more than 60 games a year, in 70 games, it is impossible for every penalty to be accurate. The level of the head referee is high or low. This is the reality. Only some of the penalties are serious, and some seem irrelevant, such as the current one. Penalty kicks can directly rewrite the score, but sometimes a misjudged a sideline kick, direct free kick, indirect free kick may also have a direct impact on the score. If you have to get angry every time, your own mentality will be first Influence, and thus affect reason.


    Aldrich thinks he should be more mature, because he will consider for others, stand in the position of the head referee, he can not watch the slow-motion replay of different angles over and over again like the audience in front of the TV.


    It¡¯s like the offensive player and the defensive player have the action of tearing the jersey to each other, but because of the angle, the head referee only saw the defensive player¡¯s actions, and then awarded the foul to the defending side. But you can''t ask the referee''s eyes to focus on the incident center from all angles.


    Perhaps the referee just thought that Materazzi stumbled over the opponent''s striker when he turned around. What is the truth? Aldridge doesn''t care, grabbing the referee is not his character, not to mention, misjudgment and black whistle. , Two different things.


    Maybe it was a misjudgment now, maybe it wasn¡¯t, maybe Materazzi really had a foul, and Audridge didn¡¯t know until after watching the video after the game.


    If it is a black whistle, Millwall may not have a chance to score at all, because the referee still controls Blackburn''s foul moves very well. The game has shown three yellow cards, all for Blackburn.


    Aldridge stood on the sidelines to watch Blackburn make a penalty kick, the score was rewritten, Sonez cheered for a few seconds away, and then cheered for the players to try to equalize the next city.


    Aldridge turned to the bench and didn¡¯t have to look at the players on the bench one by one. He directly came to Ronaldo and said lightly: "Go warm up."


    Ronaldo moved away from the rabbit, went directly to start warm-up exercises on the sidelines.


    Aldridge''s move to call up the bench player warmed up Sonnes.


    I thought the commander-in-chief would enlarge the move!


    Henry? Ronaldinho? Nedved? Larson?


    Who will attend?


    Until he saw that Ronaldo had rushed out to warm up, Sonez felt a false alarm.


    That 17-year-old kid?


    Well, last month Ronaldo was 17 years old, and the club gave him a new contract. His salary was double that of last year. After all, he was promoted from the reserve team to the first team.


    Sonnes was frightened, he didn¡¯t think about it anymore, and he concentrated on the sidelines to command the team to go all out to equalize the score, as long as Millwall was not sent to the superstars who almost all have the ability to rewrite the score in the face of Blackburn. It''s kind of emboldened.


    If Millwall was really elite, Black could really only despair.


    "I didn''t study carefully before the game. Now I have a look. Millwall''s bench list is really strange. Seven benches, a goalkeeper, a defensive player Lucas Neal, and the remaining five players are all offensive players! Unexpectedly, the players who are now seriously doing warm-up on the sidelines are actually the weakest Cristiano Ronaldo, a 17-year-old genius."


    In fact, Aldridge''s bench list is bad today. As a coach, it should be unqualified, but he did just that.


    A goalkeeper is always standing.


    Neil is a defensive player. Unless two defensive players have problems, they will have difficulty choosing.


    Originally, Milwall¡¯s weaker attack today was offense, so there was a group of offensive players sitting on the bench with stronger capabilities. This is understandable, but C Ronaldo was also placed on the bench alone. Valued.


    After Ronaldo finished his warm-up, Aldridge beckoned to him. Ronald thought he would be playing soon, but Aldridge hugged his neck and asked softly on the court, "Do you know what to do on the court?"


    Ronaldo nodded immediately, then shook his head again, and muttered dumbly, "Boss, you didn''t say who I took on the field."


    "Hahaha, yes, I tell you, I will change Ramore, not to punish him, not to perform badly, he has two assists, the performance makes me very satisfied, but I want him to save energy, the schedule behind , Need him to contribute more to the team."


    "Well, he is doing well. Replace him. I will go up. I know what I should do and score! Left forward, leave it to me, no problem!"


    Aldridge was a little helpless to Ronaldo. The overconfidence of this kid sometimes made the coach a headache.


    "You think I''ll replace you, and then you can just kick it? Do you know what Blackburn had on the court?"


    "Uh... I don''t know. It looks like I''m defending, and then I make a big foot and try my luck."


    Cristiano Ronaldo is a bit stunned. He has the illusion that he can be taught by Aldridge alone. This is an opportunity that many players on the team are eager to get, but this kind of advice must be combined with the game. If there is no proper time, it is nothing but empty. Preaching is pointless.


    But at such an enviable opportunity for others, Ronaldo always feels that he seems to be getting worse, because Aldridge is always raising the height of excellent players. He thinks that he has passed, and Aldridge will be immediately Struck, he thought he was excellent, Aldridge would make him feel younger.


    At 17 years old, his heart is higher than the sky. Aldrich encouraged him and nurtured him, but he continued to suppress him in his mentality.


    However, he also knows that being able to receive guidance on the spot like Aldridge is of great help to his growth and improvement, which is far more effective than 10 training sessions and 100 training sessions, because the memory of the actual combat will be more impressive , The experience is deeper.

 Chapter 743： three phases

    The fans in the Millennium Stadium were enthusiastic, and the fans of the Lions were not worried about the team. The score was that they were leading. The fans of Blackburn were not discouraged. Before the game ended, there were still thoughts. In case, a miracle was created. What?


    Neutral Welsh fans are enjoying the game, but today Millwall was slightly disappointed that he did not enter the main attack group.


    The quality of Millwall¡¯s offense has declined, Blackburn has always let the ball fly in the sky, Welsh fans have fun for themselves, many fans have cameras on the sidelines of the shooting scene, and now Audridge hugs 17-year-old Ronaldo , Especially to interest them.


    What are they talking about?


    "Blackburn played like this in the second half. Compared to their first half tactics, the probability of scoring a goal should be improved. Do you know why?"


    Aldrich asked Ronald calmly.


    Ronaldo shook his head. In fact, he didn''t think there was much change. Blackburn only changed from a ground pass attack to a long pass.


    "You see, they gave up the midfielder in the second half, leaving 3 people in the frontcourt, excluding the goalkeeper in the backcourt, four backs plus three backs, and 7 defense. The comparison of offense and defense is obvious, we are 5VS7 offense, they are 3VS5 Offensive. If they still hit the ground pass, then the efficiency will be reduced in the link passing the midfield, and in turn, the long pass will be used to hit the offense to the offensive end zone. If we don¡¯t pay attention, we May suffer."


    After Aldridge finished, Ronaldo said with a curse: "It''s not luck."


    Aldrich shook his head, not correcting Ronaldo''s superficial statement.


    Long pass rushing does look too simple and rude, but Sonez can make such adjustments after halftime, which shows that there is some reasonable thinking.


    And Blackburn''s posture is in control, Sonnes'' experience must have played a very important role.


    5 years ago, Millwall 6 years ago, after leading, he can play a defensive counterattack, but today, Millwall, even if he is leading, also has to invest in the offense, it can not be withdrawn too obviously, at least in the offensive and defensive balance that grade, otherwise, This is too utilitarian. The utilitarian is popular among the masses, and it doesn''t seem so extraordinary.


    Just like Millwall''s two-ball lead, the defensive player in the backcourt does not attack, taking midfielder Alonso as the watershed. When attacking, he must advance through the center line, plus the front waist and the trident, this is a 5-player attack In the face of Blackburn''s seven-man defensive line, these five men are difficult to play a very threatening offense in the absence of offensive space, but it is not impossible.


    The reason why Aldridge does not correct Ronaldo''s statement is because there is a certain reason. Blackburn''s long pass rushing looks like a lot of luck.


    In Aldrich''s parlance, it is a mixed goal.


    This "mixing" can be understood as an unexpected goal.


    For example, in the absence of a shooting angle, forcing a long-range shot, hitting the defensive player and turning to an assisted teammate scoring, this kind of goal is a mix, because the teammates themselves are not seeking cooperation, come again A hundred times, a thousand times, there may not be such a goal.


    Another example is the defensive player''s clearance and giving the opponent a chance to break the goal. You can''t summarize this as the expected or the desired effect of the team''s established tactics.


    "The point is not how they used it, but that they did increase the probability of equalizing the score. I ask you, do you know the relationship between Millwall''s number of offenses and goal rate?"


    Aldrich''s question asked Cristiano Ronaldo, and he asked: "Is it related? A valid attack can score, but an invalid attack cannot score."


    "No, you only see the surface. It is true that when the offense is played, there are goals, and if you fail to achieve success, you will return without success, but I tell you that Millwall has an average of 71 offenses per game, threatening offenses. It¡¯s 39 times, the average offense¡¯s scoring rate is about 4.5%, that is to say, we can get one goal on average for 22 offenses, and Blackburn¡¯s current tactics, maybe the offense efficiency is about 2%, That is, they can score a goal by playing 50 such attacks. Do you understand what it means?"


    Ronaldo is a clever kid, he immediately said: "We want to limit their number of attacks."


    Aldrich nodded. In fact, the data he said does not represent the whole of football, and it is difficult to use as a benchmark. However, such statistics can be used as a reference standard to at least explain why Millwall is so popular. The average number of offenses is the highest in the Premier League, which represents their offensive strength and desire. The average number of threats per game is the highest, their offense quality, the highest offensive efficiency, and the most offensive conversion into goals. In layman''s terms, it is pleasing to the scene. The football elements most fans want to see, they have the most.


    "We have two ways to deal with this situation. The first is to strengthen the defense and reduce Blackburn''s offensive efficiency, from 2% to 1%, or even lower. That is to say, they play like this and play a hundred times. You can¡¯t score goals. Then you have to shrink the formation and keep the backcourt defensive area in your own hands, making it more difficult for them to grab the drop point. In the second kind, we strengthen the offense, improve our offensive efficiency, and understand my Does that mean?"


    Aldridge whispered.


    Ronaldo is not in a hurry to play now. He feels that this is a valuable lesson that Aldridge has taught him, which will allow him to improve his reading ability quickly.


    Old people often talk about the reading ability of the game, which is very general, including the overall situation, and a keen sense of the game.


    After changing other players, Ronaldo believes that Aldridge will not say so much to those players. The unspeakable thing is to play the piano with cattle.


    But Ronaldo has strong self-confidence, and he also understands that Aldridge gave him the captain''s armband, cultivated him patiently, and now carefully guides, in fact, this is to treat him with the standard of training team leaders, to be a leader on the football field , Not only by temperament, spirit, goals, you must have the ability to lead the team, command the team, which includes a strong ability to read the game, know when the team is in danger, know when the team should do Making changes and coping with different situations stems from rational thinking.


    In the past, Aldridge had never thought of training Ronaldo in this way, but when it was time to really guide him and cultivate him, he would inevitably have higher expectations.


    If it is simply to train a striker, he need not be.


    But every time I think that Ronaldo will communicate with his teammates'' defenders, or even quarrel, as a spectator, you will have an idea: This kid is responsible for scoring goals, directing the team to defend, is it related to you?


    Now as the head coach, Aldridge knows that it is a sense of responsibility and a desire to rule the game. Not only is it a goal, it is not so simple to score, such a player is very valuable, so in order to avoid future he has this But with the intention to blindly command and lose his temper, Aldridge would rather spend more time to guide him personally.


    Ronaldo smiled and said, "Boss, change me up and step up the offensive!"


    Aldrich asked: "Do you know the difference between you and Ramall?"


    "I am better than him."


    "No, you are not better than him now, you are players with different characteristics."


    "Why am I weaker than him?"


    Ronaldo was not convinced, and said with a lip.


    Speed, ball skills, strength confrontation, etc., Ronaldo thinks that Lamor can do it, and he can do it himself. Lamor has at least some of the ability to be equal to him, and his advantages are more than Lamore.


    Aldrich shook his head and said in a deep voice: "In my eyes, good players are divided into three stages. The first stage is practical, which means you can use your advantages to help the team. The second stage is control. This Need a certain experience foundation, like Ronaldinho and Pirlo, there are a lot of players who are not worse than them, but they can control the game like they do, make the game rhythm and the overall situation change, Rarely seen. The third stage, the strongest, integrates the first two, both practical and controllable, and can completely rule the game, basically no one can maintain this level throughout his career, but occasionally there will be Playing in such a level of extraordinary performance, such as Henry, Ronaldinho, Nedved, etc., they have played well overall in a season, but the extraordinary performance of high-light performance is also a slap. Sessions. Ramor, he is a good player, at the top level of the first stage in my eyes, and occasionally can play the level of the second stage."


    Ronaldo was silent.


    Indeed, watching Lamor play football, concise and practical, is to maximize the use of skills to help the team, today can contribute two assists, has been considered to be better than usual level of play, that is, Oddridge can occasionally play The level of the second stage.


    Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly thought of Aldridge''s roar to him. He now understands that in Aldrich''s eyes, he has not yet fully combined the skill with practicality, and only when he completely shakes off the flashy style, he can be achieved. The level of the first stage.


    Speaking of which, Aldridge paused for a moment, and then said in earnest: "Cristiano, you have been in Millwall for almost 5 years. In the past few years, you have shown all the potential to become a superstar, so you too The best among your companions, but for you, your path is just beginning. I hope you will be on the right path and, ultimately, realize your dream."


    Ronaldo nodded fiercely and said, "Boss, I know, I will remember every sentence you said."


    "Okay, I will tell you now that you will replace Ramall after playing, but you have different characteristics from him. You have to play out your characteristics, speed, threat to the goal, and dribbling breakthrough. Now you can¡¯t One person completes such a task, so you have to be smarter, you have to form contact with Kaka, tacit understanding, your line of travel is like this."


    Aldrich stretched out his left hand and simply matched four fingers to represent Blackburn''s four guards. His right index finger drew a trajectory on the left palm to explain Ronaldo''s key impact area after playing.


    Ronaldo asked after asking, "Boss, how do you control the game?"


    Aldridge smiled slightly. The boy was very ambitious and wanted to learn to run without learning to walk.


    ¡°You¡¯re inexperienced, it¡¯s difficult for me to explain to you, but if you want to do this and make the opponent feel uncomfortable, then, remember, don¡¯t just look ahead, pay attention to Alonso and Zambrotta behind you s position."


    Ronaldo nodded his head firmly in his eyes, and Millwall made a substitution two minutes later.


    Cristiano Ronaldo replaced Lamor who performed well today. After playing, Cristiano Ronaldo directly found Kaka and exchanged a few sentences with him. Kaka nodded frequently, knowing that this is the tactical requirement of the head coach.


    Aldridge couldn''t help but smile on the sidelines. He could watch the green Kaka and Ronaldo playing on the court. Although they didn''t become top stars, it just made people look at a different kind of pleasure.

 Chapter 744： Shock the world

    Run, observe, think, steal, get rid of...


    This seems to be more like the first game of Ronaldo''s career. Not only is he more serious in his attitude than before, he also lacks a public expression of desire, and he also has a greater commitment to the overall situation.


    In the words he communicated with Kaka, in addition to Aldridge''s tactical instructions, he also had some personal ideas about him as a teammate.


    At 17 years old, 19-year-old Kaka, his position on the field is now approximately parallel. Millwall''s offensive end attack group is an asymmetrically dislocated parallel 22 position.


    Blackburn is still playing a long pass, and Sorness frequently raises his wrist on the sidelines to look at his watch.


    As Aldridge said, Blackburn¡¯s tactical success rate is not high. In the face of ordinary opponents, 30 times and 40 attacks can score a goal. In the face of Millwall, the average data must be more than 50. Times.


    But this is just probability statistics. In fact, each attack is an independent random event. That is to say, assuming that Blackburn needs 55 such offenses, one of which can be scored, then when does this successful 1 appear? No one can predict, maybe the first time it was played, maybe the 55th time, maybe the 21st time, in short, the overall average offensive efficiency is roughly unchanged, but when it will appear, it is unpredictable.


    Millwall has a higher possession rate and has more offenses. In contrast, Blackburn''s offenses have decreased. In particular, the number of threatening offenses. Blind big-footed clearance will not be counted as an offense.


    This kind of data statistics may not be particularly conspicuous in the contemporary era, but after a few years, the universe team¡¯s Barcelona game can clearly see its core significance. Barcelona¡¯s extremely high ball control rate guarantees the number of attacks, while greatly Limiting the number of attacks by opponents, and being superior to opponents in terms of attack efficiency, then defeating opponents is logically logical in theory, thus triggering a later debate about "control efficiency, pass efficiency".


    The reason why Sonnes looked at the time is that he knew that Blackburn played like this. In case that the offensive efficiency "1" success cannot occur within 90 minutes, then the game is over, the winner takes everything and loses Those who have nothing.


    Therefore, when he waited for 80 minutes, he would order the team to overwhelm, and within the last 10 minutes, the tactical success rate would be greatly increased. Relatively, the risk of losing the ball would also be greatly increased. But it must be risky.


    Just as Sonnes frequently watched his watch to pay attention to the time, the situation on the court quietly changed in a development that was invisible to the naked eye.


    Cristiano Ronaldo did not take on the tandem response on the left of the strike line as Ramall did. His position was further back, close to parallel with Kaka.


    As a result, Blackburn''s pressure on the right defense suddenly eased in a short period of time, and he did not experience any impact for more than 10 minutes.


    Ramall and Ronaldo have different characteristics in the end. Ramall is good at threading needles and breaking into the restricted area to play the killer role. He rarely sticks the ball and averages fewer than 1 breakthroughs per game.


    The original configuration was quite good in the opening game. Ramall passed the needle and led Kaka to break through. Klose center and Villa had an invisible hidden threat. The front-court attack group configuration is more comprehensive. All kinds of elements are available.


    This balanced situation was broken after Ronaldo played, and now they are more prominent in the advantages of a certain offensive means.


    For example, Kaka and Ronaldo''s dribbling breakthrough threat.


    Cristiano Ronaldo entered the state after more than ten minutes of playing, and also figured out the specific situation on the field. For example, if he is on the front line and is stared by the opponent''s defender, then he will be in a difficult situation, and his physical confrontation will be very disadvantageous. After all, he is only 17 years old. No matter how hard they try to temper their bodies, they still can''t get the upper hand against the strong and strong guards who are over 25 years old.


    He withdrew from his position, parallel to Kaka, and running without a ball at the opponent''s backline, to create space for himself and maintain close contact with Kaka.


    In the 78th minute, Sonez was ready to order the team to fight back with a Jedi strike and stage a final stroke.


    However, at this moment, Millwall¡¯s positional battle was initiated by Alonso. He took the ball forward and came to the opponent¡¯s midfielder line. After attracting the attention of a midfielder¡¯s midfielder, he immediately passed the ball. Give Ronaldo.


    C Luo got the ball, dribbling forward firmly. He was only 3 meters away from the opponent''s right back waist. After starting, he made a false move of stepping on the bicycle and turning to pull the ball. The person who defended him after all Can not be considered a first-class player, the first is to grab, after Ronaldo''s fake action, the body reacted a little hesitantly, when recovering, Ronaldo has successfully broken through, but did not completely throw away the opponent, just in this In an instant, Cristiano Ronaldo pulled out an empty, and then passed diagonally to the front right.


    Kaka was behind the opponent''s midfielder, who defended Alonso. At this time, the man was thrown away, so that the left midfielder''s midfielder quickly came over to make defense. Kaka saw C Ronaldo passing and it was Give him the advance amount of forward rushing, secretly praised in his heart, Cristiano Ronaldo''s breakthrough, with the passing free time, and also gave Kaka the acceleration time to start, maybe this is 1 second to 2 seconds, but it is extremely critical .


    After the start, Kaka rushed forward, and the left back waist of the opponent''s assist defense looked to meet the place where Kaka touched the ball. The two would collide, but Kaka continued to accelerate. When he rushed completely Afterwards, the ball was brought forward lightly, Blackburn''s left waist rushed over, happened to pass Kaka, Kaka took the ball forward and broke through Blackburn''s waistline!


    While Kaka drew the ball forward, a white figure not far from the left side quickly chased him up and moved forward with him.


    Kaka in the high-speed dribbling glanced towards that side, and no surprise, it was C Ronaldo with his cold legs flying like he was about to spread his wings. Millwall was drawn to the road today, it was a white dress. Jersey.


    "Cristiano Ronaldo broke the ball after passing a defensive player to Kaka, Kaka also broke through to get rid of a defensive player, and now, these two young players are rushing forward, in front of them, Black Ben''s defender line! Can you break through this last defensive line? This is really a **** scene! Millwall fans cheering loudly on the spot!"


    When he was about to enter the penalty area, Blackburn''s defender line quickly adjusted, the two central defenders had clear minds. This time the defense was very reasonable. One player went out to block Kaka, and the other player stood at Clo Behind Ze was staring at him closely, and with small movements in his hands, he entangled Klose.


    Kaka''s speed is not reduced, Cristiano Ronaldo is still advancing. At the last moment, when Kaka is about to face a head-to-head confrontation with the opponent''s central defender, should Kaka make a choice and continue to break through? He had to change direction, but he did not choose to take the risk or pass the ball to Ronaldo. Instead, he passed the ball quickly and the ball rolled diagonally to the right side of the penalty area.


    The centre-back started inwards, and Villa began to cut inwards, and the space came out!


    Kaka passed the ball out, Villa''s side was obvious, and the goalkeeper immediately abandoned the goal and went out to block Villa.


    Behind Villa is the opponent''s full-back who is always there. He can''t stop the ball, never!


    Otherwise, the probability of losing the ball is very high.


    The goalkeeper came out to block, and the angle was small, but no small, but Villa had never thought of shooting from the beginning. As a Millwall youth training product, Millwall''s tactical philosophy has long impressed him.


    This position battle, he is on the front line, the forward space is very small, then his responsibilities will change, the core role switch, he has now taken a peep at the path, naturally not as old as Larson. Fine, but will not fall off the chain at the critical moment.


    "Cross shot! Villa didn''t shoot. Cross shot! Black was empty!"


    Klose was entangled by the opposing center defender in the middle. In turn, Klose was also dragging the opposing center defender. Both of them were two meters away from the ball passing by the sliding door. They accelerated without starting. In the state, one can''t shoot, one can''t make a clearance, and watched the ball roll one meter in front of the goal line.


    After Villa passed the ball, his eyes kept looking at that side. He knew that this ball was not passed to Klose, because Klose was dragged in place by the opponent''s covert hand movement, and he could not make it out. .


    However, after the goal, someone should be able to arrive!


    That stupid guy who pretends to be cool every day!


    When the ball has rolled past the goal post on the other side of the goal, a figure comes to the ground quickly, sweeping the ball into the goal with one foot!


    After completing the sweeping action, with a strong inertia, the goalkeeper stood up with one hand out of the bottom line, and his cold face showed a wild and excited color.


    "Cristiano Ronaldo! 17-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo debuted in the League Cup final and scored a goal in less than 20 minutes after playing! This may be a record, we don¡¯t know yet, yet Need to check again after the game, it is now 3:1, 3:1, Millwall almost locked the victory! How powerful Millwall, how passionate Millwall! 17-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo, 19-year-old Kaka, 21-year-old Villa, 23-year-old Klose, this is an attack group with an average age of only 20 years old, Millwall is known as the young guard, this season, relying on the young lineup, They only have 11 minutes to win the first crown of the new year!"


    Ronaldo raised his arms and grabbed the palms of Kaka who ran over, smiled at each other, then they were quickly surrounded by his teammates, and even Southgate and other players rushed over to celebrate the goal.


    Schneider ran to the last one, rushed up and down, and the whole person was lying on top of everyone''s head, laughing uncontrollably.


    On the bench, Larson and they all got up and applauded. Larson turned his head and smiled at Henry: "It seems that soon you will add another competitor."


    Henry smiled and said nothing. Although he saw that the younger generations on the team started to make a difference, his biggest threat on the team came from Klose, not 17-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo. You can ignore all the young geniuses in the world.


    Aldrich nodded secretly, training and training. When the training reached a certain level and began to reap, this sense of satisfaction and accomplishment was indescribable. Ronaldo and Kaka were still in their infancy, but Villa, Klose, and Aron The maturity of these players makes him proud.


    At the end of the celebration, Ronaldo still clenched his fists in front of him and waved. Kaka turned his head and smiled and asked, "Not enough, right?"


    Ronaldo''s eyes were full of ambitions, and he rightfully said: "It must not be enough! Kaka, we can shock the world!"


    Kaka stared deeply at Ronaldo. He never felt how special the first-team superstars were because everyone was easy-going, but in front of him, the 17-year-old younger than him made him feel An alternative temperament, as if born with an ambition that unabashedly dominates everything.

 Chapter 745： Young victory

    Ronaldo''s goal made Sonez dumbfounded.


    The plan can''t keep up with changes fast!


    Before waiting for him to order the whole team to make a final blow, Millwall kicked them off the cliff!


    Under the abyss, Sonez knew he had lost, Blackburn lost to Millwall, and he lost to Aldridge.


    He made a faint move in the first half, leading to two goals conceded by the team, excluding C Ronaldo''s goal. At other times, Millwall''s offense and Blackburn''s defense were actually more balanced. No difference.


    But Ronaldo''s debut changed this balanced situation.


    Is Ronaldo stronger than Ramall?


    No, Sonez knew that he lost to Audridge at the coach level.


    Ronaldo and Ramall are players with different characteristics. He did not expect Ronaldo to play. The research on Ronaldo is not enough, and the preparation is naturally insufficient. After Ronaldo''s appearance, Blackburn did not change his defensive strategy accordingly. There are no plans for targeted restrictions, and Sorness loses at this point.


    If Ronaldinho is on stage, Blackburn has made careful preparations, and so are the others.


    By all means, Aldridge sent C Ronaldo, a player who studied them at Millwall opponents and might have overlooked the preparations to the greatest extent, because there are only 11 starters, 7 benches, and it is impossible to give them all. The striker, by the way, Millwall''s bench list today is full of offensive players.


    Lamor is more able to blend in with the team and stimulate the integrity of the team¡¯s combat, but Ramor does not have the impact of Cristiano Ronaldo. When Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka match together in the same line to break Blackburn¡¯s backline, Cristiano Ronaldo can also dash down and play the killer, which is his advantage and the purpose of Aldridge to send him on the court.


    Changing the rhythm, Blackburn defended Lamore for more than 60 minutes, and Lamore did not break through. They did not withstand the test and suddenly became Ronaldo. With this change, they can beat Blackburn by surprise.


    At this moment, Sonez had no other choice but to order the entire team to attack. The instructions were the same as in the planned plan, but the meaning was different. One goal behind, one hand off, two goals behind, more like a dying struggle !


    Aldridge did not make tactical instructions. He wanted to see if the young players on the court would play in such a situation.


    Sounds nonsense, two goals lead, will not kick?


    Yes, there are many teams that do not know how to play when they are leading, because their minds are tied, they are attacking, they are defending? How should the team''s thinking be unified? Some teams are frequently reversed, often when the team is leading, instead of attacking.


    Cristiano Ronaldo always remembered the communication with Aldridge before playing. At this time, he found that Blackburn was pressing up to attack. Aldridge did not say to go back and fight back. He thought of the "control game".


    When it comes to controlling the game, it must be driven by a certain player. For example, Pirlo, he does not need to control the ball, but can achieve this goal through a one-pass pass. When there are frequent occurrences, he chooses to steadily deliver the ball, he is In the control of the game, if it is described despicably, he may be playing with his opponent, treating the opponent as a beast. He is an animal trainer, and there is no way for the beast to swallow his opponent.


    Blackburn pressed up, and Ronaldo paid special attention to the positions of Alonso and Zambrotta. He did not choose to go forward, but ran slowly back and forth. When the ball came over, he kicked the ball and quickly transferred the ball.


    Blackburn carried out a crazy round, and Millwall shifted the ball faster and faster, one foot, two feet, three feet, the ball, it seemed that it could not pass, but when Blackburn moved more and more **** with Millwall, crazy The center of gravity of the siege is constantly shifting, the defense system is torn, and when they arrive, they are all messed up.


    In the 87th minute, Alonso faced the siege and then passed the ball back to Zambrotta, who did not hesitate to launch a long pass.


    This long pass is not particularly accurate, but in front of his side, the Blackburn defense line appeared a big air, when the ball flew over the midfield, Ronaldo had already crossed the opposing defender line!


    When he saw the ball, Aldridge got up from the coach seat because he saw all three Millwall players succeed in counteroffside!


    Cristiano Ronaldo got the ball on the wing, but the ball didn''t stop well and his speed slowed down. He had only two choices at this time. Forward is the basis, but is he going it alone or passing?


    Alone, he started speed inward again, and Blackburn would definitely be able to catch up.


    Passing, as long as the ball is firmly passed to the middle, Klose and Villa, no matter who they are, will face the goalkeeper one-on-one, single-handed!


    At this moment, it is a test of whether he is at the top of his mind or the team at this moment!


    Therefore, Aldridge stood up and stared at Ronaldo. He was like Najib who saw Ronaldinho for the first time. He couldn''t help murmuring in his mouth: "Biography, Biography, Biography..."


    Cristiano Ronaldo wanted to do it alone, this opportunity is great!


    Maybe he was too excited, he didn¡¯t stop the ball. Instead, he kicked the ball forward slightly, so he caught the ball and stopped, and the speed dropped. At this time, he saw that the middle road was followed up. Klose also has far-end Villa. If he goes it alone, he will have to get rid of at least one defender who is back in place when he enters the penalty area.


    With his left foot, he kicked the ball fiercely into the middle and Ronaldo chose to pass!


    Aldridge closed his eyes and exhaled a long breath, regardless of whether the goal was scored or not, Ronaldo, in the time he came off the bench today, Aldridge could give him 9 points, almost perfect!


    When he closed his eyes, he heard a loud cheer erupting from the stadium.


    The coaching staff around me applauded, cheered, and laughter spread.


    Aldridge opened his eyes and saw Klose''s somersault celebration.


    "4:1, Millwall locked in the victory, the first crown of the new year, steady in the pocket, congratulations Millwall, this is a young victory for them, a game that belongs to Millwall in the mouth of Hall. Victory, the profound meaning behind this victory is far more important than a championship trophy!"


    Sonez sorted out his suit and turned to Millwall''s coach seat. The game ended in 1 minute. He came at this time to congratulate Aldridge in advance.


    Aldrich shook hands with him, and then the two stood on the sidelines and briefly talked. As a young man, Aldridge patted Sonnes'' arm. Anyway, this player''s brilliant coach, There is no deep friendship between Aldridge and him, at least there is still respect.


    In addition, Sorness''s contacts in English football are not bad, there are many friends, it can be seen that the popularity is good.


    When the whistle at the end of the game rang, the Millwall coach seat, players and coaches got up and hugged each other, they entered the field, after all, the League Cup is not heavy.


    But players on the court, like Alonso, rushed around excitedly, laughing and roaring.


    From start to finish, Alonso, Kaka, Klose, Villa and other players are the first choice for the starter, unless there is an injury, this trophy, not they "mixed" come, but they What I made myself is extraordinary.


    Aldridge walked into the court to congratulate the players, and then at the request of the reporter, took a group photo with some players on the sidelines.


    Ronaldo and Kaka stood beside him from left to right, and Villa sat cross-legged in front of him. They gestured with their thumbs and smiled.


    When the award ceremony passed, the group of young players was almost upset. The naked body was wearing underwear, a medal was hanging on the neck, and the medal was bitten in the mouth to take a photo. Gattuso used the trophy as a cup , Filled with champagne, took a few sips, and splashed on his teammates...


    Aldridge knows that senior players on the team will celebrate sparingly, and as for young people, allow them to indulge today.


    The following day, Fleet Street reported on Millwall¡¯s win in the League Cup. The League Cup itself is not very attractive. However, except for half of the main lineup in the final, Millwall¡¯s other games are all played by young people. The players picked the girders and passed all the way to the finals. In the finals, all four goals came from the bench players.


    "Maybe we can''t think of Klose as a stable substitute for Millwall, because he has been competing for the main force. Who can''t get the main trident of Millwall''s forward, then Klose must be the first choice. The number of appearances in the season is no different from the main players, but young players like Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo are definitely representing the future of Millwall. The League Cup has always been the stage for the Premier League team training, but it can be here Those who practiced this effect, dared to line up in the finals like this, boldly trusted the young players, Hall¡¯s courage is worthy of admiration, and his adventure has received more than expected returns. We should stop this question: Why is Millwall? So powerful? We should ask: Why do some strong teams dare not trust young players? Why do they have a huge gap with Millwall in youth training? Why do they prefer to spend 10 million pounds to introduce players, but refuse to spend 300 Ten thousand pounds to improve youth training conditions?..."


    David Miller is a big fan of Aldridge, but he does not blindly admire Aldridge. He will dig deep into the reasons for Millwall¡¯s success and summarize these and spread them out, hoping to bring positive results to football influences.


    As for the title like The Sun will use "Millwall to ensure at least season double crown!" Aldridge basically does not even read the content, but he is still happy to media hype, as long as it is not excessive, it is also for Mill Wall made publicity.


    The young players played hi and celebrated winning the championship cost them too much energy. Even if they took a day off and returned to the club the next day, each of them did not slow down. Cristiano Ronaldo ran to Aldridge alone and requested to enter the Champions League roster He certainly can''t start, but he hopes to be a substitute.


    However, Aldridge refused, on the grounds that his physical condition was not sufficient as a substitute. Ronaldo left in disappointment and returned to step up to recover.


    He wanted to play in the Champions League with a little selfishness, because Millwall played in the Champions League in the middle of the week, was to go to Porto, Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo wanted to take the opportunity to return home, it is best to appear in front of his compatriots, tell all with practical action Portuguese: I am 17 years old, wearing a giant shirt and standing on the stage of the Champions League!


    Millwall¡¯s main players were sober. Only two days later, the League Cup win was like never happened. They prepared for the UEFA Champions League. In the game of Bovista, the main players played stable and played on the road. The score of 3:0 defeated Bo Vista, three consecutive victories in the second stage of the Champions League, as long as one week later to return to home and win Bo Vista, you can declare the promotion to the quarter-finals of the Champions League!

 Chapter 746： Headline!

    Thursday, early morning.


    Aldridge¡¯s home was open, the London police blocked it, and three police cars were parked on the wide road. In addition, dense news interview vehicles gathered here.


    Several TV reporters reported live on the camera.


    The BBC female reporter is in the best position. Behind her is the police cordon. She is opening her door to Aldridge. The police are in and out to investigate and collect evidence.


    "The latest news is that the English national team coach and Premier League club Millwall coach and owner Audridge Hall, who led Millwall to Portugal yesterday for the Champions League game, returned home early in the morning and found his home stolen. Now the police Investigation is under way now. According to insiders, Mr. Hall may have lost very valuable property because he panicked when he called the police and had a conflict with the community security guard a few hours ago. He blamed the security guard for his negligence. Fortunately, When Mr. Hall left London, his two sons were at his parents¡¯ house, and his girlfriend who lived with him happened to be back at his parents¡¯ house, avoiding encounters with burglary criminals, resulting in more tragic things, We will continue to follow up on this incident at the scene..."


    Aldridge was robbed of his bag on the street. This time, he was hit by burglary for the first time.


    Naturally, he wouldn¡¯t preach too much to get all the reporters, but the British reporters have their eyes open. The ¡°informers¡± in the reporter¡¯s mouth may come from the police, or from the community¡¯s property management. The ghost knows where to get the news. Anyway, this night , A lot of people are busy.


    Especially on Fleet Street, it''s really flying, and it''s even busier than Aldridge.


    The editors who worked overtime to finalize the news content of today¡¯s newspapers all went overtime. The opponent¡¯s employees said basically the same, clamoring every second: ¡°All the UEFA Champions League reports were withdrawn from the front page and replaced by Aldrich Hall¡¯s bastard¡¯s home. Stolen news!"


    To be honest, Aldridge is a **** in the eyes of many newspaper heads on Fleet Street!


    After so many years, the interview has been rejected countless times, can you not hate it?


    So, starting from the headquarters of the news media company on Fleet Street, the news began to spread out.


    "Aldrich Hall''s bastard''s house was stolen! Headline!"


    "Aldrich Hall was stolen from that bastard''s house! Hahaha, retribution!"


    "Aldrich Hall..."


    Every company is busy editing this news. In the early morning, the whole of England, and even other parts of Europe, got the latest news from all sources: Aldrich Hall¡¯s home was stolen!


    On the three poles of the day, Aldridge slept on the bed in a shirt and trousers. He came to Arthur''s house when it was dawning. There has always been his room here. Although the bed is a bit small, he has no problem sleeping alone. .


    When I was awakened by the phone, Aldridge picked up his private phone. Celebrities would prepare at least two mobile phones, one for ordinary work and communication, and the other only the most intimate people know.


    The phone he uses for work is now turned off, which is the practice before he goes to bed, and his private phone is on.


    He grabbed the phone from the table and put it in his ear. He still closed his eyes, and his consciousness gradually became sober.


    "Aldrich, good news. I have negotiated with the insurance company. They cannot recover the lost property within three months. They will compensate you for all the losses."


    It is normal for property to be insured at home. As long as Aldrich is not cheating, the insurance company has its own team to do the same job as the police. Because the insurance company does not trust the efficiency of the police, they can recover the lost property and avoid loss. If they can¡¯t get it back, they will settle the claim as usual.


    Aldridge shouted to the phone in a low voice: "Andrew, this is good news for shit! I don¡¯t want money, I want my past, my medal of honor, my history proves! Fuck! You¡¯re not Are there so many friends? There is no such thing as a mafia father in London?"


    "Uh, there are a lot of gangsters, I also know a lot of gangsters in suits, but there are more than 5 million people in London..."


    Doodle doodle.


    Aldridge hung up the phone.


    Looking at the time, after sleeping for less than 6 hours, he was woken up by the phone and couldn''t sleep anymore. He took the cigarette and ashtray from the table. He leaned on the bedside with the cigarette in one hand and the ashtray in the other. The expression was slightly decadent and swallowed clouds and mists.


    Speaking of which, he has never deposited any valuables at home. Unlike some rich people, he will hide Jinshan and Yinshan at home. For example, some bonds with an anonymous value of more than 10 million pounds. At home, he will put some cash. It¡¯s more than tens of thousands of pounds. If you want to say what¡¯s the most expensive at home, it must be the car in the garage, but one of the cars in the house hasn¡¯t been lost, and the car keys are hanging in the window on the garage wall. I never thought that I came to steal the car, and it was inconvenient to steal the car. You can overturn the wall when you leave the community, but you can¡¯t drive the car to fly over the wall. You must take the right path. And the risk of tracking is greatly increased.


    What did he lose?


    A few pieces of watches, Ewen''s jewelry, these all add up to more than 100,000 pounds, and these Aldridge don''t care. If they are lost, they will complain to the property at best. Certainly not.


    However, he lost a safe.


    Unlike some stars, Aldridge will set up a special exhibition room at home to decorate his honor trophies and medals carefully and display them. Guests can come home to visit, and the host can also take the opportunity to show off.


    Aldrich also did not understand what his motive was. He stored all the medals he had received in the safe.


    Maybe he feels that he is not young enough to exhibit these. He may think that the villa will not be his residence forever. His destination should be somewhere else, so that the underlying consciousness is unclear, but it affects his reality. action.


    How much is the medal worth?


    In his eyes, material value is negligible.


    Simply speaking, the cost of materials is not pure gold. How much is it worth?


    But if it is an auction, it is really valuable, because the value of the medals is not in the cost of workmanship, but in the fact that these medals belong to the "relics" of the football circle!


    For example, the Champions League medal, the champion medal in 1998, how many pieces are there? Each piece carries its historical significance. It is unique. If Aldridge has nothing in the future, if he takes out a medal and auctions, he can instantly become a millionaire again.


    But for him, these medals are like a proof of his past existence, and each piece represents his efforts during that period, condensing struggle, passion, friendship, happiness, bitterness, hardship... everything.


    He doesn¡¯t care about how others treat the medals. Mourinho can throw the medals to the fans. That¡¯s Mourinho¡¯s style. It¡¯s not about Audric. If it¡¯s not for his consent, strangers touch it, he thinks It is a kind of tarnish. He once gave a medal to Aguero, but he felt that it would make that medal more meaningful in his own heart, because that medal is likely to inspire Aguero''s growth. If it does come true, it will have a different kind of wonderful taste when recalled in the future, instead of being **** and destroyed by robbers, sold, circulated on the black market, or bought by a wealthy rich.


    Aldridge was in a terrible mood. After smoking two cigarettes, he got up and walked into the bathroom in the bedroom to bathe and shave. He quickly recovered from the spirit of the past, still handsome and smiling, he smiled at the mirror He smiled, looking a bit bitter. He raised his hands to fiddle with his expression, making him look natural and soft.


    Burt and Earl were also in the villa. As a man and father, when he was alone, he was sad, angry, sad, even crying, but in front of his family, he must show his due gesture, No way, who made him a man?


    When he came out of the bedroom and it was time for lunch, he went downstairs. In the dining room, Arthur and Amelia were sitting at the dining table, and Burt and Earl were sitting there, eating honestly, two little guys. I don¡¯t know the theft at home. I guess I still have to stay here today. God knows how long the London police will investigate and collect evidence.


    Seeing Aldridge go downstairs, Burt called out: "Dad, why are you getting up now?"


    Aldridge laughed and said: "Because I am like you today, I have become a lazy worm and want to sleep more in bed."


    "I''m not lazy. When I got up, you were still sleeping, scratching your feet, and you didn''t respond."


    "Hah, do you dare to play tricks on me? Don''t be guilty."


    Aldridge said that when he came to Burt, his hands tickled him, and Earl helped Burt, left the seat to fight back, and scratched Aldridge''s armpit.


    For a while, Aldridge kissed the foreheads of his two sons and sat down at the table.


    "Oh, there are steaks today, so good, I''ll go get a bottle of red wine."


    Aldridge got up again and walked to the basement. There was a room for wine storage below. When he returned, he poured himself a glass and walked to Arthur and asked, "Do you want it?"


    From the beginning, Aldridge felt strange. Arthur''s expression was very serious, his head was down, his mouth was full of words, and he could not hear clearly.


    At this moment, Arthur suddenly turned around and stood up, with a very solemn expression, and slapped on Aldridge''s shoulder with one hand, with a heavy tone: "Boy, I have confidence in you!"


    Aldridge was confused and opened his mouth slightly, feeling inexplicable for Arthur''s tone of commitment.


    Amelia showed an impatient expression and pouted: "Crazy!"


    Before Aldridge asked questions, Arthur got up and walked to Burt, pressed one hand on Burt''s shoulder, and used that heavy tone: "Boy, I have faith in you!"


    Aldridge froze with a bottle of expression, and saw Arthur walking to Earl again, repeating the actions and words just now.


    Earl spoke, and the little guy stretched his face with a pretense seriousness and lengthened his voice in a deep voice. happy."


    "this is?"


    Aldrich turned his head to look at Amelia, but saw Amelia impatiently: "He is making a movie, and he has a neuropathy. I looked at it. He had three lines and practiced for almost three months. The sentence just now is one of them. Oh, what Earl said, it should be your line, no, it¡¯s the line you should play."


    Aldridge suddenly realized that his expression was relieved. For a moment, he really thought Arthur had a neuropathy.


    After Arthur and Earl finished the line, the grandfather and grandson made a high-five gesture to celebrate, and then the old hooligan returned to his true color, with a beating smile turned around and walked towards Aldridge.


    "Dine, eat, Aldridge, come and come, have a drink, have a drink, don''t be upset, I won''t go anywhere today, and drink with you at home."


    Aldrich just poured him the wine, and Arthur suddenly looked up and asked, "How did I play just now?"


    "Not so much, it''s more like the last words of life and death."


    "No? Is that still to be improved? Child, child? Child!..."


    He began to immerse himself in the world of performing arts.


    Amelia rolled her eyes and lamented: "My God, is there anything left? Ask me to say, just find a serious actor to play him."

 Chapter 747： Regained

    Staying at the parents¡¯ house can relieve Aldridge¡¯s unhappiness and anxiety to the greatest extent. I don¡¯t know why, maybe I just feel the joy of seeing Arthur¡¯s big belly poop. This old guy is getting fatter and fatter. It really looks like a meat ball, especially watching him show his kindness and play with his grandson, a lively comedy.


    Aldrich is really hungry. He can¡¯t eat the food, but he doesn¡¯t pretend to be slow. He will pay attention to table manners when he is entertaining. At home, he doesn¡¯t have to hide or disguise anything.


    Amelia looked pleased and saw that Aldridge¡¯s steak was about to be eaten, and immediately brought another dish. Of the three sons, the other two sons often did not go home, and Barnett¡¯s deliberate integration Arthur and Amelia don¡¯t like high-end styles that create aristocratic temperament. In the counts, only Aldridge has no pretentious attitude, which is very popular with her parents.


    Just after lunch, Aldridge accompanied his two sons to sit on the living room sofa and watch cartoons. He also ate and needed a break.


    Yiwen drove, and she followed up the police investigation at the police station throughout the morning. The key stage of the lost property tracking is 24 hours after the incident, or even shorter, otherwise the clues will become more slim, and even if it is recovered, It is difficult to guarantee intact.


    "Huh, there is no news over there."


    After Yi Wen sat down, he exhausted and frustrated and made a conclusion. As for the inside story, it would only make Odric worry.


    Aldridge took her hand and said casually: "Don''t care, if you lose, you will lose it."


    Ewen turned her head, she was more upset and depressed than Aldridge.


    This afternoon, Aldridge didn¡¯t go anywhere. He had been with his two sons, watching cartoons, coaxing them to take a nap, waiting for them to wake up, and playing football together on the grass in the back garden.


    Some friends called to greet, and Aldridge had to cope with it again. When it was time for dinner, Arthur called Aldridge out. Next to the pool outside his home, Arthur whispered in a stretched face. A few days ago, I received a call from a friend."


    "Um, then?"


    Aldridge thought something was wrong. Arthur''s expression made him think the conversation would be serious.


    However, Arthur smiled: "Old friend, Ritzdale called."


    Aldridge realized that Arthur was pretending to be acting, maybe he was honing his acting skills.


    "What does he want? Leeds United should have no money to introduce players?"


    "Hey, yes, he called to make Millwall easy."


    "What is accommodation? The original contract terms?"


    "Ok."


    Aldridge cheered up and asked, "How did you answer?"


    At the beginning, Leeds United bought a player from Millwall, and all have a 30% revenue share clause for the next sale. In recent years, Leeds United has sold about 6 players. The transfer income of those players is not too much. High, but also brought Millwall about 7 million in secondary income. Now, Leeds United may sell heavyweight stars, such as Ferdinand.


    Although Arthur is nominally the chairman and does not participate in the management of the team, if he makes a promise to the chairman of other clubs, there is a question of integrity. Others will not control how you assign power and management within Millwall Yes, the chairman is the chairman, and the chairman¡¯s words must have certain credibility.


    Arthur shook his head and seemed very happy, saying, "I told him the truth."


    "Ah? Truth? You tell him you don''t care about this?"


    Aldrich thought about it, which was also a way of rejection.


    Arthur smiled and shook his head: "Not that, I told him that I never liked him, I never liked Leeds United, Leeds United was so arrogant a few years ago, I remember what he said, even a champion No, he started to provoke Millwall, what kind of green onion is he? I also told him that you were so majestic, did you think about today? Hahaha, is Leeds United going bankrupt? Is it going to be destroyed? Thanks, tell I am so good news, I will open a bottle of good wine to celebrate, I will go to Leeds United to put a bouquet of flowers in front of the tombstone, congratulations, Ritzdale, Leeds United fans, generations to remember you, great Chairman!"


    Aldridge was stunned, looking at Arthur who was really enjoying the destruction of Leeds United. He thought: "This should be his true character, right?"


    How can street hooligans make peace with you?


    How can you help when you need it?


    Sorry, I will only kick your face again when you prostrate and raise your head under my feet to reveal the pleading color!


    Aldridge said after a moment of silence: "He just rushed for a quicker success."


    "No, no, son, you don¡¯t have to defend him, you don¡¯t have to say good things to him, I won¡¯t listen to it, I won¡¯t understand it. How many fans does Leeds have? Do you know? How many fans are Leeds from generation to generation? United as a beloved? How many families'' lives have been **** with Leeds United. The good of Leeds United and the bad of Leeds United are affecting their lives. Ritzdale destroyed the hearts of countless fans! He can Leaving, he can forget all this after a few years, but who will heal the heartache of the fans? What will happen to Leeds United? I don¡¯t know, but Andrew tells me that if a club goes bankrupt and winds up, it may face Death. Let me say that Ritzdale is a Class A war criminal at Leeds United!"


    At this point, Arthur seemed very excited, and Aldrich understood the meaning.


    In fact, "death" in Arthur''s mouth does not mean that the club will disappear. Complete bankruptcy is very rare in the football circle. It is almost impossible because the football club is similar to the enterprise, but it is completely equivalent to the enterprise. Behind the football club, there is a powerful football league. Existence, and after liquidation and bankruptcy, new managers will intervene. On the one hand, it is to split the debt, on the other hand, it is to change the face and let the club survive again. Whether the team can play the game is the calculation of the football league, this is the football circle. The last bastion of the club, the external forces simply cannot be shaken.


    However, Arthur''s "death" belongs to the perspective of fans. Just like Lance in France around 92, they are actually two completely different teams. After the bankruptcy, they reorganized. The new Lance just inherited the name and honor of the former. Aside from this, the team has no connection with the past.


    If, if Aldridge sold Millwall to Abu, in the minds of the majority of local fans, Millwall is also equivalent to "death", because a traditional English club has become a Russian private Thing.


    This is like the feeling that the son-in-law of the surname started to be the master. It has epoch-making significance, but it is not a result acceptable to local fans. Therefore, as the Premier League club is continuously invaded by foreign capital, the fight between fans and foreign bosses has become more intense. There are people who can accept, but there are also people who can''t.


    What''s more, once the team went to bankruptcy, the club''s turbulence was unimaginable. The team would be completely unrecognizable in a very short period of time. It can be said that "once returned to before liberation", Arthur said inaccurately, this should not be " "Death", but "rebirth", but rebirth does not mean that it is positive, the new life will have a new father, the new road may be covered with thorns and bumps.


    After dinner, Aldridge accompanied his son to play video games, but the housekeeper suddenly came to him and said, "Aldrich, someone will come to send you a courier."


    Aldridge put down the gamepad and wondered: "Strange."


    He followed the housekeeper out of the door and saw that under two steps, a young man in casual clothes was holding a cardboard box. He looked about 18 years old and came on a bicycle. The bicycle fell to the ground beside him He, holding the cardboard box with his head down, didn''t seem to dare to look up at Aldridge.


    "My courier?"


    "Yes, yes, sir."


    Aldrich turned to the housekeeper and said, "Close the door."


    The gate he said refers to the gate in the courtyard outside, as the housekeeper did.


    The young man who sent the courier suddenly raised his head and panicked: "Sir, I still have something. Please sign for the courier."


    Aldridge came down the stairs and came to him, and found his hand seemed to be shaking.


    Aldrich asked, "Do you have any dangerous objects? For example, a knife."


    "No, no!"


    "Then you must have no guns?"


    "Of course not! Sir, please sign for express delivery."


    The young man took a step back and lowered his head again, holding up the cardboard box in his hand, and the action was like giving a treasure.


    "Do I need a courier fee?"


    "No need to!"


    "Oh, what''s in this box?"


    "I do not know."


    "You know, if you don''t answer within 10 seconds, I call the police."


    The young man raised his head in amazement and saw Aldridge with a cold expression in his eyes. He lowered his head again and said aloud: "Mr. Hall, I''m sorry, I don''t know where your home is, but your belongings. , You want to call the police, I do not resist, I cannot return the cash and valuables, I can return it to you, only the things in this box."


    Aldrich said: "You still haven''t answered my question."


    "There are medals that belong to you, and there are many."


    "What''s your name?"


    "Jamie, Jamie Brown."


    "How old?"


    "19 years old."


    "Occupation?"


    "I work in a restaurant."


    "London?"


    "Ok."


    "Talk to me over there."


    Aldrich pointed in the direction of the artificial fountain. The young man followed the Aldridge with a cardboard box and came to the stone steps beside the fountain to sit down.


    Aldrich lit a cigarette and opened the cardboard box, which contained a delicate large box. He reached out and opened it gently. There were more than 20 medals displayed in it, almost untouched, except for the two in the first row.


    Jamie found that Aldridge did not call the police, and he was still uneasy, but he thought that since he came, he thought that there would be a great risk of going to prison, so he summoned the courage and asked: "Mr. Hall, how did you find me? Isn¡¯t it a courier?"


    Aldrich turned his head and looked at him lightly: "First, I have no planned express delivery. Second, you are not wearing work clothes. Third, time. Fourth, there is no regular express delivery document on your box. Fifth, you shouldn¡¯t say it was a courier for me. This is not my residential address. Sixth... Finally, the trick of a fake courier. I used it countless times more than ten years ago."


    Jamie dumbfounded, Aldridge lost his cigarette butt, and said, "Thank you for giving me the thing back. I don¡¯t want to call the police to ruin your life. You may not have estimated the value of the stolen items in my house. That¡¯s enough to keep you in prison. Spend a dark life that transforms you qualitatively from belief, spirit, mentality, and physical aspects. However, I want to know, why would you risk me being caught and return things to me? And, still in such a stupid way. "


    Jamie looked down and whispered: "Because, I am a Millwall fan, my father is, my grandfather, and..."

 Chapter 748： Fear and courage

    Jamie Brown is a trivial little person.


    At the age of 14, he dropped out of school and began to wander the streets. He was used as a drug courier to earn extra money. He was sanctioned by ASBO. When he was 17 years old, he started working independently and took a low salary.


    He has the same trouble as 99.999% of people in the world: lack of money.


    It is not surprising that some people like him have a few bad friends.


    Theft is also commonplace.


    However, when he stolen Aldridge''s home yesterday, his role was as a driver, and there were others in the burglary, and he was responsible for the external response.


    He didn¡¯t know that there was Aldridge¡¯s home, and Millwall¡¯s fans hardly knew where Aldridge lived. Aldridge would not publish such private information, and the newspaper would not call his house number. Publish in detail, otherwise you will have to wait for the lawyer''s letter


    When the theft came to a safe place, Jamie found a strange place when it was stolen.


    They worked all night to pry open the safe. Aldrich''s safe was not embedded in the wall, but was put in the study cabinet. It was not too big and was taken away by the gang.


    When Jamie opened the box where the medals were stored, his associates thought it was a gold medal, and he realized for the first time who their master might be.


    Because each medal is engraved with the year and the event.


    96 League Cup, 96 FA Cup, 97 Premier League champion medals, 98 Champions League medals...


    At the time, Jamie''s heart was filled with fear.


    As long as you know which team won the honor, you know who these medals belong to.


    Millwall!


    And from 1996 to last season, who has been able to win so many medals, the scope is actually very small.


    Starting in 1995, Millwall players or coaches who have played so far!


    Jamie guarded the box, cash, precious jewellery, watches, and other valuable things when his friends asked to divide the medals and sell them. He did not want this box.


    Also blamed his companion for not knowing the goods. After seeing a medal and discovering that it was not pure gold, he was not very interested. If he knew the goods, he would hide it and sell it for a few years. A cheque in millions of pounds.


    Seeing that Jamie didn''t want cash and valuables that could be cashed out directly, his associates followed his wishes and ended the distribution.


    Jamie¡¯s inner fear stems from his family football belief. In his memory, from his grandfather, the family is a fan of Millwall, perhaps earlier, from his grandfather.


    In his less than 20 years of life, he has nothing to be proud of. No, appearance, connotation, knowledge, technology, etc., he is inferior and living at the bottom of society Others are bright and beautiful, but he is like a stinky rat in the sewer.


    But his only pride, dare to stand up and tell everyone, what was said out loud: I am a fan of Millwall!


    If it is to tell a friend, he will also talk about countless times, his father, his grandfather, his family, are all Millwall fans.


    Ironically, before he joined the theft gang, he dreamed of using the proceeds from the theft to buy season tickets for Millwall next season, so that he didn¡¯t have to save a month¡¯s salary to watch another Millwall game. His salary is only enough to satisfy him that he can only watch one Millwall game a month.


    Fear comes from this. The object of his theft is actually the "hero" in his mind.


    After reading the news during the day, he was sure that it was not Nedved, Southgate and other people who had been stolen from his house. A character he could think of, but he did not dare to think about it, made him feel the world turning.


    He actually stole something belonging to Aldridge.


    Aldrich, in his mind, is no longer a heroic figure, but a god!


    Jamie has imagined countless times that he is able to challenge everything and conquer everything as boldly, daringly, chicly, and arrogantly as Aldridge. From seven years ago, when he was 12 years old, he got his father¡¯s birthday present on his birthday: two Millwall home tickets. That day, he and his father witnessed Millwall knocking out Arsenal in the cup at home, Aldridge defeated Graham, and the attack on Graham at the Aldridge press conference. Since then From time to time, Aldridge has been "deified" in Jamie''s heart!


    "Mr. Hall, I don¡¯t know how to face you. You have always been my most admired person in my heart. I have nothing and nothing. My greatest happiness is to wear a Millwall jersey and walk into the Lion King Stadium. Watching my beloved mad lion playing in the stands, now I don¡¯t even dare to say that I am a loyal fan of Millwall, maybe the prison is where I should stay..."


    Jamie cried, crying very sadly.


    The only faith in his heart, the only pride, was crushed by himself, as if in an instant, the only ray of light that had remained in the entire gray world was extinguished.


    It may be the emotion that made him come in person to ensure that he could return the belongings to Aldridge instead of other clever ways. He was afraid, and accidents occurred halfway through, he dared not think about it.


    With Aldrich''s mentality, at this time he looks at Jamie, but in fact it is not much different from looking at Bert and Earl, both children.


    It is just an unfortunate child who lacks proper guidance and a comfortable environment. There are many such children in the world. In the process of Aldrich¡¯s perseverance in charity in the past few years, he has seen too many similar situations.


    "You gave it back to me, proving that there is something in your heart that you can defend, Jamie, are you afraid?"


    Aldridge asked softly.


    Jamie nodded, crying noisily, he was indeed scared, afraid to face all this, the whole incident was like a nightmare shrouded in him.


    When the only thing he cares about and is proud of is trampled on by himself, he is losing his own meaning in life.


    Others talk about life ideals and great aspirations. That has nothing to do with him. A small person like him has no time to pursue, because he has no ability to pursue.


    Aldridge opened the box again and took out a brand new medal with the words 2001-2002 English League Cup engraved on it, which was the championship medal that Millwall had just won at the beginning of the month.


    He handed the medals to Jamie and said softly: "Maybe you don''t believe me, I really thank you, if not you, maybe I will lose these medals forever. You are afraid, this is very good, very good, because Without fear, there is no courage. Only in the face of fear can I breed courage. I, and my team, have been afraid of too many opponents such as Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, Barcelona, ??Real Madrid, Juventus, etc. But when we were afraid of them, we chose to break out with courage to defeat them. This is the charm of football, which is one of the reasons why I love this sport. This medal, given to you, is my gratitude and hope , It can bring you courage, change yourself, dare to dream, dare to take action, when you are afraid, look at it, hold it, and then tell yourself to fear all difficulties, give yourself the most powerful belief and courage , To overcome difficulties, you are only 19 years old, you have 50 years, 60 years, 70 years or even longer, don¡¯t say you should stay in prison."


    The tearful Jamie looked down at the medal delivered by Aldridge. Under the bright moonlight, the medal reflected a faint light. In the dim eyes of tears, the bright light made Jamie feel a dazzling light.


    He raised his hands, shaking and trying to receive the medal, but he backed away and choked back: "Mr. Hall, I don''t deserve it."


    "No match or no match, only fear and courage, remember? I just said, you are afraid now, all you need is courage, take courage, hold it."


    Aldrich''s hand was still not retracted.


    Jamie hesitated for a moment, then clenched his teeth, trembling his hands, holding the medal in his palm like a treasure, and then gently holding it, closing his eyes and feeling attentively, at this moment, like an incredible thing happened, Jamie seemed really It can be noticed that the trembling mind becomes stable, an invisible force runs through his body, so that he has put away tears and his emotions have stabilized.


    When he opened his eyes again, Jamie turned to look at Aldridge. This time, his eyes were finally free of panic and dodge.


    He saw Aldridge smiling, and with tears on his face, he said: "Mr. Hall, thank you, it seems to be really magical."


    Aldridge smiled and gave a medal to Jamie, maybe it was just an impulse, but it was Jamie¡¯s tears that really touched him. If he did not love Millwall to the extreme, he would not have such a reaction. .


    After staying here for many years, Aldridge feels the deepest feeling is the fan culture. The **** fans in England have really infiltrated the football gene into the bone marrow and derived many extreme emotions.


    Hardcore fans like West Ham know that they will be banned for life and still have to carry a flag to disrupt the game, just to declare the dignity of the hammer gang. This is 100% in other parts of the world. No one will find it strange that extreme love and hatred will lead to extreme crazy behavior.


    "Jamie, have a dream, take the courage to act, what if it really comes true?"


    Aldridge smiled at him.


    Jamie wiped her face and stared at Aldridge sincerely, showing a smile. He was ordinary, but the smile was pretty because he had two dimples.


    "Mr. Hall, I want to be someone like you."


    Aldridge was stunned and shook his head: "No, you will never be me, just like the media would say I will be Ferguson, Paisley, Shankly, or Chapman, no , I am me, you, and yourself, everyone is unique."


    Jamie quickly said: "No, I mean, I want to be a football coach. Since I was 12 years old, I have been imagining that one day I will sweep all my opponents like you lead a mad lion."


    Aldrich raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Then you should study, and dream about what you do, work hard for it."


    Jamie looked down and said, "I have no money."


    This is reality, which hinders the reality of human dreams.


    Do you need money to learn to be a coach? Of course, there is no free lunch in the world. Furthermore, he lives independently. He has to eat, sleep, have clothes, and have all the necessities for life.


    Aldridge is in a good mood right now, and with his energy, the cost of helping others can be ignored. Everything depends on his mood.


    "Jamie, if you are really determined to do it, I can offer you a chance."

 Chapter 749： Leeds United

    The Millwall youth team¡¯s echelon has been expanding, and now has begun to prepare for the U10 age echelon, and with the sharp increase in fame, more and more parents are willing to send their children for training, the resulting problem is: the child is too young In the end, no one dares to make a conclusion easily.


    This gift of talent will not appear at the age of 3, and it will be blockbuster at the age of 6.


    I have never heard of a team directly denying a player under the age of 12.


    Earlier training, you may be able to discover your child¡¯s talents earlier, and guide them to be more targeted. Even if you don¡¯t see any talents for a while, it doesn¡¯t matter. Start training step by step. Such training and Professional players are two different things. They are a little more standardized on the basis of hobbies. Then, as the children grow up, they will naturally win more attention in the competition of their peers.


    Therefore, Millwall¡¯s echelon of younger ages will recruit players in groups. Basically, as long as there are parents who are willing to let their children come for training and can agree on the training time, Millwall will accept it, so the training base There are many people in the youth colleges, and more coaches and employees are needed.


    Aldrich provided Jamie with a bottom job, a field manager, who was a handyman like packing up debris and cleaning up the training ground, and he could receive coach training in Millwall while holding a low salary. It is also a welfare within Millwall, which can be enjoyed by all employees, and even some old employees who can let their children attend classes for free.


    Jamie has changed from a restaurant employee to a handyman, and his salary has hardly improved, but he is very happy. He thanked Aldridge again and again, and then left excitedly to welcome his new future.


    Aldridge has no disciples in the coaching field, never.


    Even though Fleet Street will sometimes hype Benitez under the command of Aldridge and lead Valencia in the La Liga, he will be very serious when he is asked by reporters that he and Benitez are not There is any relationship between mentor and apprentice. Benitez used to be a teaching assistant in Millwall, and they were cooperative.


    But Fleet Street will still enjoy the hype, saying that Valencia led by Benitez has a tough defense and the shadow of Millwall, Aldridge just wants to spit Fleet Street: Before Benitez takes over, Valencia In Cooper''s hands is a team that is famous for playing anti-defense, and has nothing to do with Millwall!


    Then it will be said that Benitez played the offensive players in Valencia in turns, which is also a delicate rotation strategy of stealing division Aldridge.


    Aldridge was extremely helpless about this. Valencia sold all the good players and cashed them. The cards under Benitez were like that. The hand rotation he played was both forced and helpless. The reason for the mistake is that this is where Benitez''s own skills and tactics are brilliant.


    You know, Valencia is at the top of La Liga, but the game is almost over 30 rounds. In Valencia, there is not even one player with more than 10 goals!


    Henry¡¯s number of goals in the league and the Champions League this season is only 10 away from Valencia¡¯s current goals in the league. It is conceivable under what circumstances Benitez led Valencia in La Liga. Championship forward: There is no stable scoring point!


    This also made Aldridge admire him. Of course, he is not a mentorship relationship with Benitez. I really want to find a background for Benitez to be a teacher. That should also be the Real Madrid department.


    Teaching assistant Jensen, also has a cooperative relationship with Aldridge. Most of the exchanges are not communicated. Klinsmann can be regarded as half of Aldridge¡¯s apprentice. If Boas will take the position of head coach in the future, it is estimated that I really have the background of Aldrich¡¯s disciples, but these are based on the working environment, and really, purely based on the preaching and teaching. Ten years later, people talked about Aldrich¡¯s disciples, the first, The name is Jamie Brown.


    ...


    The next day, I returned to the club to work step by step. The team''s players greeted Aldridge. Aldrich was not used to being cared for by most people. Although it actually made my heart warm, he seemed to be vulnerable.


    He told everyone that the theft was raining and it was sunny. Millwall has now started the sprint at the end of the season and should not be distracted by anything outside.


    On the weekend, Millwall will visit Elland Road Stadium and play against Leeds United.


    The time went back three months. At Christmas, Leeds United ranked second in the standings. Three months later, Leeds United slipped to the sixth place in the standings, which was 4 points away from Newcastle United in fifth place. The four-place Manchester United differ by 7 points.


    What happened in these three months?


    To be precise, in two and a half months from mid-January, in 7 league games, Leeds United won no victory!


    Lost to Newcastle United, Chelsea and Liverpool respectively.


    Draw with Arsenal, Middlesbrough, Charlton, Everton.


    Only 7 points were scored in 7 rounds and 17 points were lost!


    And lost points to Liverpool and Newcastle United, defeated by opponents, equivalent to 6 points battle!


    Leeds United finished the 7th round of the league and fell sixth from the second place in the standings. During the Christmas season, the "Protect Four" title that was advertised by Fleet Street also became "Fight for the fourth league."


    It¡¯s not hard to understand why Ritzdale called Arthur to ask for accommodation, but Arthur refused, and at the same time, Millwall¡¯s lawyer team was also ready, as long as Leeds United completed a deal with the former Milworth For transactions involving players, the Millwall will ask Leeds United to pay 30% of the transfer fee immediately. If Leeds United delays, see you in court!


    Arthur''s words have been haunting Aldridge''s mind, and the appearance of Jamie has deepened this impression. There are countless pictures flashing in Aldridge''s mind, some fans are celebrating wildly, some fans are crying and running, some fans Carefully drawn cheering slogans...


    He rarely targets anyone on the media platform. Even if he fights psychologically, he will be very restrained.


    But today, O''Reilly has been unable to protect himself against the background of the league''s seven unbeaten rounds. How dare he jump out to challenge Audridge? Isn''t this a disgrace?


    O''Reilly retreated, saying that this was an ordinary league.


    But Aldridge took the initiative to fire on O''Reilly at the pre-match press conference.


    "In England, the role of the head coach is very special, because the head coach¡¯s power is very large, maybe I say this is inappropriate, because I am both the head coach and the club owner, but as the head coach, I will not ask the club Executives suggest unrealistic investments that exceed the club¡¯s affordability, and as the boss, I will not agree with the unreasonable demands of the head coach. Leeds United is in a dire situation, we don¡¯t have to hide or pretend to ignore them, if Leeds United ends the season If they can¡¯t get the top four rankings, they are finished. The familiar Leeds United will be unrecognizable in recent years. Whose responsibility is it? We all know it, but we are still optimistic. In my opinion, when investing When the organization loses interest or patience in football, then the former business partner will immediately become a deadly enemy. I don¡¯t like O''Reilly or Ritzdale, they don¡¯t have the power to gamble with Leeds United, but They did just that. For the time being, they will lose, lose to nothing, and lose will make the entire football world remember them and take it as a warning. Millwall will beat Leeds United tomorrow, they want to get points, then Take courage and strength."


    The reporters at the scene were shocked. It was originally a routine press conference, but I did not expect Aldridge to take the initiative.


    By the way, this is where the reporters like Aldridge.


    This young handsome is sometimes stubbornly stubbornly inhuman, but he is really daring to act, if he doesn''t like you, he doesn''t like you. When he wants to fall into the rock, he doesn''t show mercy!


    The reporters understood quite well that it was normal for Aldridge not to like Leeds United.


    After the sudden rise of Millwall to win the Champions League, he has never been crazy, giving people a relatively low-key and pragmatic, Liz United? After playing well for a season, the tail is skyrocketing, and after the generous investment, it is almost crazy. This is a bit of an upstart. From club management to battle grudges, why does Adrich like it? Leeds United?


    It is normal for him to say this now. Although he is suspected of falling into the rock, he is right.


    In terms of operation, the most successful clubs in the Premier League are Manchester United, Arsenal, and Millwall. The financial aspects are within their means. Manchester United is now ranked only after Millwall in total assets. Arsenal can borrow money to build a new stadium. It is a transition period. Once they move into the new stadium, the finances will improve immediately. The general direction of operation is no problem, but it is a bit tight.


    On the other hand, Leeds United, they cannot rely on their operating income to fill the huge financial expenses of the team. In this way, they still have to borrow money to buy players every season. This is gambling. Gambling can enter the Champions League. Doomed to a major loss, due to the failure to reach the Champions League last season, this season''s fiscal deficit has accumulated more than 40 million pounds!


    If, at the end of this season, the Champions League tickets cannot be obtained, then next season is also destined to lose money, and the accumulated deficit will increase by a large margin.


    It can be said that these three months are the key turning point for the survival of Leeds.


    Three months ago, Leeds United ranked second in the league. Next season, the Champions League seems to be in a stable position. Ritzdale was actively contacting commercial institutions at that time to try to borrow some money to ease the financial pressure this season. But three months later, those All investment institutions that have made some progress in negotiating with him have left the negotiating table, and investment institutions that have already had a loan agreement before start to come home to collect debts!


    Investment institutions began to lose confidence and patience in Leeds United.


    No one wants to lend money to Leeds United again.


    Destiny is still in their own hands. If the counterattack succeeds in the last ten rounds of the league and wins the top four in the league, then it may be able to restore the confidence of some investors.


    But at this time, Leeds United will first defeat the defending Premier League champion Millwall!

 Chapter 750： proceed if you can!

    Aldrich didn¡¯t like it since he first came to Elland Road Stadium. The picture of Makelele¡¯s racial discrimination has been engraved in his mind. It is estimated that it will be unforgettable forever. League, cup, UEFA Champions League, here In the stadium, Millwall and Leeds United had too many grudges. Leeds United was not Millwall¡¯s biggest competitor and may only have become opponents in a certain period, but in terms of the overall situation, the two are not in the same grade, but There may be more stories between Millwall and Leeds United than between Millwall and Arsenal and Chelsea, so far.


    The atmosphere in Elland Road Stadium was more solemn, the home team fans in the stands looked serious, and all their worries were written on their faces.


    These three months are a kind of torture for them, looking forward to the team going out of the trough every day, but the result is that the team is getting worse. This is just a record.


    As the record fell sharply, the negative reports of the club''s operation and operation also ravaged the world like a beast of floods, impacting the hearts of every fan.


    At this time, they could not really realize what Ritzdale and O''Leary dominated Leeds United during this period, what they meant for Leeds United, from the beginning, the team''s record has risen, and one after another. Aid, this will naturally win the support of fans.


    Until now, the financial crisis erupted by the team just made the fans feel bad, with an ominous hunch, but they are also optimistic that the team can finally overcome the difficulties.


    Aldrichto sat on the coach seat with his chin, seeming careless. He came to the sideline about 3 minutes earlier than O''Reilly. When O''Reilly came out, maybe he wanted to show some grace, or, O''Reilly There is indeed something to be said to Aldridge.


    He walked in front of Aldridge. Aldrich got up and the two reached out and held each other. Aldrich thought that it was just a routine handshake, and he planned to take his hand back and sit down. However, Aureli did not let go, but instead exerted a little force. Adrichra approached him.


    The two faced each other at a distance of tens of centimeters. They looked at each other and kept their eyes on. They gradually became diametrically opposed.


    "Hall, you cross the line. As the head coach, you are not qualified to comment on the operation of Leeds United, and it is a malicious attack!"


    O''Reilly tried to restrain his expression, his voice low, and his teeth clenched.


    The house leaked in the middle of the rain, and the words of Audridge¡¯s pre-match press conference were considered to be fueling the fire, which made the outside world pay more attention to the financial crisis of Leeds United. The speculation on Fleet Street will further strike Leeds United in the media channels. The credit rating of the company scared investors away, and the creditors were forced to push the debt again.


    From a purely economic point of view, in fact 99% of enterprises have debt problems, and banks are willing to let enterprises owe them money. Some enterprises can make enterprises stronger and bigger in advance through borrowing, but some enterprises fail to borrow. typical.


    The debt owed by Leeds United is not too high, even less than Chelsea, but why is the pressure of Leeds United so great?


    Their scale of business cannot bear the pressure of debt. The most sensational economic case in the football world is Manchester United. In the original history, from the richest club in the world to the club with the highest debt in the world overnight, people faced Manchester United. But I don¡¯t worry about the huge debts that I have owed. As usual, it seems that I just paid back a boss. The reason is that Manchester United¡¯s scale of operation can fully withstand those debts. No one is worried about their ability to repay debts. If they cannot enter the Champions League, they will not be able to achieve self-sufficiency in their operations each year.


    It''s like Millwall now borrowing money from a bank. Aldridge can borrow 500 million pounds. All the famous banks in the world will send a negotiating team to line up and ask Aldridge to sign a contract with them. No one will worry about Milwaukee. The ability to pay debts, but if it is Crystal Palace, clubs like Charlton to borrow money, 50 million pounds may not be able to borrow, and they are actively asking investment institutions to lower the threshold, this is the gap in credit rating.


    Aldridge leaned in front of O''Reilly, slightly turned his head, and said softly: "Well, I crossed the line, so? Every word I said is a fact, O''Reilly, are you not convinced?"


    "Well, you just have a good hand, you are lucky!"


    O''Reilly''s teeth were about to bite.


    Aldridge said leisurely: "Is it? I and you swap positions, you coach Millwall, I coach Leeds United, you are confident to do better than me? Ha ha ha, but I can tell you, me, Austria Derich Hall, if I started coaching Leeds United three years ago, I can do better than your coaching position. The champion dare not say that at least Leeds United will not be where it is today."


    O''Reilly was speechless, and a wave of fear and tremor rose in his heart.


    He really fantasized about him coming to coach Millwall, but his heart flinched. Millwall had three Mr. Golden Globes, a slapless big-name star. What did he use to deter and control them?


    And Aldridge said that he came to coach Leeds United better than himself, and O''Reilly could not refute, not because this could not happen, but the heart seemed to agree with this.


    Aldrich''s strong self-confidence is not only contagious, but also has the power to conquer.


    With the rise of Millwall and the rebirth of the England team, could O''Reilly''s sentence "Hello," kill you?


    As if the verbal confrontation had fallen, O''Reilly was obviously angrily corrupted and yelled: "Hall, you are like your father, a shameless rogue!"


    After talking, O''Reilly had to leave, but this time, O''Dridge held his hand so that he could not leave, O''Dridge leaned forward and whispered in his ear: "I have a relationship with Arthur It is indeed very similar. If he is here, he will smash your face with a punch, and crush your life with one foot, and I will not do it. I will pretend to be a Sven, but on the court, Ole Lee, I will cut your throat in person and watch your blood spew out until the moment when it drains, I will grab your head and let you witness you in despair, and your Leeds United, What did it look like, Elland Road Stadium is your burial place. When you are old, you will not want to remember everything here, because your hands are covered with the blood of white roses, oh, By the way, you led Leeds United into the quarter-finals of the Champions League, but unfortunately, lost to Millwall, what is the score? Remember? Remember the world to remember how the moment of Leeds United should be defined as glorious Is it a shame? Hahaha."


    O''Reilly almost wanted to fight Aldridge here, but after he finished speaking, Odric released his hand and raised his hand to help O''Reilly organize a suit and smile.


    O''Reilly stepped back two steps, staring at Aldridge with a complex look for a few seconds. Aldridge tilted his head and smiled, then sat back on the coach seat.


    When O''Reilly returned to the coach of the home team, both players also entered the field. O''Reilly was full of anger. He just felt that his body seemed to have a volcano erupting and must erupt. Otherwise, he did not know whether he would go crazy. !


    Millwall did his best today and showed 100% fighting will.


    In the locker room before the game, Aldridge gave them the equivalent of the highest order: this game must be won!


    At other times, Aldridge never deliberately regarded the result of the game as a word to mobilize the team''s intentions before the game, but today he did.


    Players who have followed Aldridge¡¯s Southward Battle for several years also understand that the meaning of playing Leeds United goes beyond the competition itself. The media¡¯s favorite phrase is used to describe the player¡¯s loyalty. The player is willing to fight for the head coach to death. !


    At this point, Millwall players are undoubtedly, since Aldridge needs this victory unabashedly, they will definitely take a "mortal" attitude to face this game.


    Aldrich did not make special instructions tactically, and in fact, it is not necessary, because Leeds United won 7 consecutive games. Today, do you give up at home?


    A wave of 7 rounds in itself, it is abnormal to be placed on the top team!


    Like Manchester United, if 4 rounds are unsuccessful, the media can directly describe the panic and serious words such as "collapse", "disaster" and "darkness" and put them on the giants and first-class strong teams. It should be a limit, but Leeds United came to 7 games, which only shows one problem: Leeds United is not a first-class team!


    Do not look at their second half in the league in the first half of the season, it can only be said that their extraordinary play, rather than stable performance.


    In-depth analysis, why does Leeds United have a seemingly end-of-class player team, but they cannot be stabilized in the first-class grade? The current record is not even as good as Newcastle United led by Robson?


    That''s the problem within the team. The coach, the players, failed to give full play to their strength.


    The unbeatable 7 rounds hit the team''s morale too much, to what extent? Will shake the internal unity, will make the generals have a gap, unable to trust each other.


    Like Ferdinand is now the main force of the England national team, is he willing to look forward to a team leader who does not qualify for the Champions League? Moreover, this momentum disappointed the players the most. Three months ago, the goal was upward. What I thought was whether I could challenge Millwall''s hegemony and usurp the throne to win the championship?


    Look at it three months later, okay, it''s all over for the Champions League.


    Can players not be disappointed?


    Can there be no negative emotions?


    From the beginning of the game, Leeds United players discovered something was wrong.


    O''Reilly commanded the team''s offensively on the sidelines, and blatantly asked the players to be more aggressive when defending!


    "Don''t give them a chance to get the ball! Foul!"


    "Rush up! Attack!"


    "Grass! Foul! Keep an eye on the Brazilian, don''t give him any room for the ball!"


    "Can you **** Nedved?"


    ...


    In the 11th minute, Larson scored.


    O''Reilly jumped on the sidelines, Leeds United players turned their heads on their hips, didn''t want to look at O''Reilly again, didn''t want to hear him yelling on the sidelines, commanding them like playing with puppets.


    At this point, the Leeds United player''s thoughts are somewhat unreasonable: don''t call it! proceed if you can!


    After 13 minutes, Henry helped Millwall go to the next city!


    "Today''s game picture is not unexpected, Leeds United won 7 rounds, the morale of the army was low, and the players on the court were not in the state. They faced Millwall who started the sprint at the end of the season after a reasonable two-month rest adjustment. The ball seems logical and reasonable. However, we have seen Leeds United coach O''Reilly abnormally order the players on the sidelines frequently, and the effect is not good. Even in my opinion, his behavior has a counter-effect."


    "Yes, when meeting Millwall, O''Reilly''s mentality began to change. He couldn''t calmly face this game. Martin, such a scene reminded me of a person."


    "Who?"


    "Kegan, Ferguson and Keegan, Audridge and O''Leary, and Keegan buried behind the billboard when he lost to Liverpool. O''Leary''s current state really makes people unable to look forward to Leeds United. "


    "This is a team that was still in the championship three months ago and is ahead of Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool in probability. Now, they may not even get fourth in the league."


    The score on the field is already 0:2, and O''Reilly seems to be unaffected. He is exactly the same as he was at the beginning, directing the team to attack and ordering them to defend fiercely.


    However, no one on the court is willing to listen to him, and many people are very disappointed with O''Reilly.

 Chapter 751： Grab the limelight

    The first two seasons coached by O''Reilly were very successful, with amazing results in the first season and tickets for the Champions League in the second season.


    If the third season was not because of the failure to get the Champions League tickets at the end of the season, it should be considered a very successful season, because they entered the Champions League semi-finals.


    Initially the players trusted him very much, but what happened in the past year gradually made them lose confidence in O''Reilly.


    In layman''s terms, it is to lose the chain.


    In the third season, the league record slipped compared to the previous season''s record, taking into account the European Union''s test of the coach, this test, O''Reilly failed to break through, this is a chain.


    In the Champions League semi-final two games and the league in the middle, three games and three games Millwall, O''Reilly disappointed the players.


    Everyone has the evasion psychology, most people will choose to replace the dead ghost or shirk responsibility, the team is a fiasco, the player will not reflect in his heart on what he has done wrong, or what is not done enough, more or less Someone will put the blame on the head coach.


    In the second half of the season, in the last two and a half months, the disappointment of O''Leary within Leeds United has evolved from the accumulation of quantity to a fundamental change, and internal contradictions have burst out.


    The Leeds players, the coach, can no longer be regarded as a whole.


    The players are playing on the field, and O''Leary commands on the sidelines. No matter what crazy O''Reilly is going, he doesn''t look at him. O''Reilly is still "showing".


    Since losing two goals, Leeds United began to defend fully, which naturally made O''Reilly anger, but he couldn''t replace the whole team.


    "4:0, Nedved''s goal changed the score to 4:0, there are 15 minutes left in the game, there is no suspense in the victory and defeat, such a result really makes people feel sighed, thinking about three and a half years ago For the first time, O''Leary led Leeds United against Millwall led by Hall at Elland Road Stadium. Leeds United won. That season, Leeds United''s 1 win and 1 draw advantage was impressive. However, since then, Leeds United faced Millwall, and Mo said that it is difficult to win, but it is hard to find! It is strange that Leeds United has clearly been on the rise during these years, and its strength is getting stronger, but it is strong. The record in the dialogue is getting worse."


    "I think it''s because Leeds United failed to clearly position itself. When a team started to improve its record and made the top strong teams start to be vigilant, then, in the second and third encounters, the strong teams were targeted. , Preparation, attitude, and tremendous changes will take place. Of course, there is a slight enemy on the football field. When Leeds United is not recognized as a strong team, they are more likely to explode, and it is easier for the strong team to encounter Waterloo, but when they are listed as contentious No matter how low the popularity is when one of the teams is marked, the strong teams will do their best when they hit them, but Leeds United failed to realize this, and, in terms of team status adjustment and control, I think Ole Leigh is still a little bit irritated, noting that Leeds United started the downturn of the team for more than two months after Christmas, you know, this is not only a mentality problem, but also the energy distribution problem of the team, Millwall It has done a good job in this regard, accumulating advantages at the beginning of the season, adjusting and recovering during the season, and exploding in the second half of the season! This is the overall control of the coach. So we have been saying that we can beat Milwa Yes, only time and injuries."


    "Yeah, time will make their superstars grow older, their ability declines, their state declines, and injuries, especially large-scale injuries, will disrupt all plans of the head coach. But Millwall''s work in dealing with these two aspects The team has also done amazing things. The excellent youth training system keeps cultivating newcomers. However, their lineup is constantly replenishing fresh blood. The cost of the highest medical department in the Premier League and even the world¡¯s clubs has added a layer of player health. Guarantee, and the coach will not overuse the player, which in itself reduces the chances of the player suffering from injury and injury. So thinking, what Hall did at Millwall, it is admirable, it is not surprising why Mill Wall is not only strong, but also horrified and stable."


    "So, I think Hall can already be called a great coach. Everything he does today will provide a perfect template for his peers, and learners to follow suit can benefit immensely."


    When the whistle sound at the end of the game started, Aldridge stood up, strode into the player''s passage, and the block was already empty. The home team fans began to retire in less than 60 minutes in the second half.


    O''Reilly looked as if standing on the sidelines, like a candle in the wind, crumbling.


    "At the end of the game, Millwall defeated Leeds United at home 4:0. This round was a good opportunity for Leeds United to close the gap with the top four, because Liverpool faced Newcastle United at home. Manchester United faced Tottenham at home, news from Old Trafford and Anfield, we do not need to confirm the final result, because Manchester United lead Tottenham 4:0 in 90 minutes, Liverpool lead Newcastle 3-0 United, the two red teams won no suspense, after the defeat of Leeds United in this game, although the gap with the fifth Newcastle United did not change, but the distance from the top four widened by 3 points, the league still With 9 rounds remaining, Leeds United¡¯s hopes of getting to the top four have become slim."


    In an interview after the game, Aldridge just expressed his pleasure at the result, and no other comments will be made.


    At the end of the game, the story of Millwall and Leeds United is over.


    On the second day after the game, the quiet change of Leeds United began to surface, and the club''s financial crisis broke out completely.


    Because of losing the game, Leeds United completely lost confidence in investors.


    The fact is that they are farther away from the top four to enter the Champions League next season.


    In three months, 8 league games scored only 4 points. With such a performance, who can you be confident?


    Ritzdale began begging for money everywhere, and the club drastically cut expenses.


    The exaggerated fake giants were all denied, expensive car rental services, free tickets for players were all cancelled, and a pet fish in the Ritzdale office was also taken away, which would cost ¡ê10 per week Expenses.


    Secretly, clubs interested in Leeds United players are also actively contacting middlemen or agents to negotiate the possibility of a deal.


    However, since I know that Leeds United has financial difficulties, unless it is a particularly sought-after player, a player who is not highly competitive, basically the bid will not be too high, or even lower than the player''s normal value.


    This is a cruel society, especially in the face of fame and fortune, in the view of some buying clubs, they are willing to buy the players of Leeds United, which is a gift: help Leeds United cut wages.


    They will definitely not be able to cope with the huge wage expenses next season. If they cannot enter the Champions League, they must sell their players.


    Leeds United is like a dying tree. I don''t know when a strong wind will destroy it completely.


    The turmoil in Leeds United triggered a strong linkage. Bates was actively looking for buyers and wanted to shoot Chelsea immediately. The third-level professional league below the English Premier League. Due to the financial crisis of ITV broadcasters, there are many professional clubs in England. The future is also marked with a huge question mark.


    Fleet Street sounded the alarm: This may be a year of bankruptcy!


    This is of course gaining eyeballs through Leeds United¡¯s booing, but in fact there are many low-level clubs that are not concerned about and are in trouble, and are likely to face the crisis of bankruptcy and liquidation at the end of the season.


    Aldrich doesn''t care how the outside world develops. Football is a necessity of life in England. People can''t eat without food, drink water, or sleep. For English people, even Europeans, can''t do without football.


    Therefore, the football circle is polarized and the gap between the rich and the poor is more obvious. The top clubs, as long as they have a broad fan base, are not afraid of having no future. Florentino used the Real Madrid brand to make use of this.


    The atmosphere inside Millwall has changed somewhat.


    When Christmas is over, the players are a little relaxed, and probably think that the league champion has not run away, it is time to focus on the Champions League.


    But in March, everyone looked at it again, and their attention returned to the league because the reason is: they are likely to set a new record!


    According to Millwall''s 29 games, 25 wins and 4 draws, they have a chance to record the Premier League points and win records at the end of the season!


    This will undoubtedly bring Millwall''s dynasty to a new level!


    So whether the main player or the substitute player is more serious in the face of the league than in the past two months, a record, it can not be done at any time, and the league is a long-distance race, even if determined, it requires strong perseverance to do it , Fang Xian was commendable.


    In the middle of the week, Bovista returned to Millwall at the second stage of the UEFA Champions League group stage. At the Lion King Stadium, Aldridge sent all the substitutes to play. With the goals of Klose and Villa, Millwall 2: 0 soldiers without blood blade to win the opponent.


    In the FA Cup Round of 16, Millwall still sent a bench, which was a test for them, but their physical fitness was completely ok. Kaka played a landmark game after joining most of the season, shining all field.


    A long-distance attack with a ball to break the goal, a long-range shot from outside the penalty area, also gave Ramor a good pass assists, Millwall beat Aston Villa 3-1 away to advance to the quarterfinals.


    The reason why both the Champions League and the FA Cup are on the bench is to give the main players more rest time.


    In the 30th round of the league, Ferguson led the Red Devils Manchester United to visit London to challenge defending champion Millwall.


    Rarely, Wenger spoke before the game started.


    "The focus of this round is definitely the match between Millwall and Manchester United. The current situation looks like Manchester United has no chance of winning the runner-up again, but if they don¡¯t want to participate in the Champions League play-off next season, they will have to score every point. Fight."


    Wenger said these words as a bystander, completely angering Ferguson.


    "He should shut his mouth. Manchester United have ranked above Arsenal for four years in the past five years. It is a fact that Arsenal are leading now, but they certainly cannot win the league title."


    Ferguson''s anger makes sense.


    Wenger hopes that Manchester United can snipe Millwall. Now in the standings, Arsenal are 14 points away from Millwall. The gap is huge, but there is still hope of winning the championship.


    But what does Wenger expect and hope Manchester United do is not exactly what Ferguson has always hoped Arsenal have done in the past?


    Especially three years ago, Millwall counted down Arsenal, letting the Manchester United champion fly at the last minute, and finishing second. Ferguson felt that everyone was qualified to stand up and let Manchester United snipe Millwall, only Arsenal. Of people do not have this qualification!


    Aldridge was depressed.


    My team, my place, my game, the biggest favorite to win is also me.


    Damn, what are you two grabbing?

 Chapter 752： All it takes!

    "Millwall and Manchester United have been playing for 80 minutes, the score is 2:0, Millwall leads, Millwall has an absolute advantage on the scene, although Manchester United sent their strongest lineup, but at a glance, Manchester United is far inferior to Millwall no matter in terms of warfare or physical condition, let alone they are not optimistic."


    In the stands of the Lion King Stadium, fans have already waved their homemade pocket Premier League trophy.


    From the point of view of the pre-match betting company''s odds, the gap between Millwall and Manchester United rose to an unprecedented record, which also intuitively reflects the strength of the two sides.


    Manchester United is also the one that failed this season''s transformation and added unreliable back defense. Millwall is also a stable and excellent Millwall.


    But another feature is particularly prominent in this game, that is the impact of lineup thickness on the season.


    Manchester United''s third-line combat, which can really be used in the game, is actually only 1.5 sets of players, and Millwall is more than them. The effect is not seen at the beginning of the season, and the effect will show up in the second half of the season. Millwall''s physical condition is better than that of Manchester United. In the game, Manchester Lenovo attacked but was weak. If he knew that the back line was not reliable, then he must definitely go back to defend, go back, want to go up, But it has become extremely difficult, the whole cannot be unified, and it is no surprise that the whole team is suppressed.


    In the 80th minute, Aldridge made a second substitution on the sidelines and replaced Ronaldinho with Ronaldo.


    He and Ronaldinho gave a high-five celebration to push Ronaldo on the court, and then prepared to turn around and walk back to the coach seat to sit down, but Ferguson came over.


    Aldridge stood on the sidelines. After the two coaches shook hands before the game started, there was no communication or contact in the middle of the time. The fourth official saw Ferguson¡¯s expression as usual. Stepped forward to block.


    "That Portuguese kid, ¡ê20 million, sell it?"


    Ferguson glanced at Cristiano Ronaldo. To be honest, the 17-year-old player is a child in his eyes. If he can complete the transaction, it will definitely be a record transfer.


    Aldridge smiled and asked rhetorically: "Why is he going to Manchester United? Is there anything Millwall cannot match Manchester United?"


    "I can give him the position of the main striker."


    "Well, 100 million pounds."


    Ferguson was stunned for a moment, and he smiled angrily, shaking his head: "Now you are in a mood to joke."


    Aldridge shrugged and said, "I rarely joke when it comes to players. Look, I said 100 million pounds. You think I''m talking about dreams, but think about how much a club is willing to bid for Henry? The Portuguese kid in your mouth. Now, at the age of 17, you are willing to pay 20 million pounds. Don¡¯t you think he can reach 60 million or 70 million pounds in the future? I sold 20 million to you, didn¡¯t you lose?¡±


    Ferguson thought about it for a while, but it was really the truth, but it was not completely right, because 20 million pounds does not mean that Ronaldo¡¯s stadium performance is now linked to the value. The key is the potential. In the future, it will definitely grow to a value of more than 20 million pounds. Now Well, at most around 5 million pounds.


    In fact, Ferguson¡¯s mentality is somewhat different from the past. In the past, there was substantial competition with Aldridge. Now, Manchester United has bid farewell to the competition for the championship. The goal of the league is to keep the Champions League seat. Heart, distracted from the European War, this is not due to the will of the head coach, because the players also know that the league is out of play, there are hopeful titles left, the most important thing is naturally the Champions League.


    Therefore, Ferguson''s mentality has changed a bit, but it is certainly not happy or relaxed. It has mixed flavors and the most bitterness.


    Thinking of the ambitious introduction of Belon at the beginning of the season, and the introduction of Fran during the winter break, Stam''s departure before the start of the season, the transformation failed, and Scholes was reconsidered before the release of the ice, the league bid farewell to the championship early, and now actually with Liverpool were in the same ranks, and they thought that Liverpool coach Holier had a heart attack...


    Ferguson suddenly sighed: "This job is really not **** done!"


    Aldridge chuckled, and he felt the same. Hard work is just the foundation. Stress is there every day. If the record fluctuates, if there is a problem within the team, the heartbeat is thumping, which is really unbearable sometimes.


    He spread his hands and smiled at Ferguson: "Then retire, I will accompany you!"


    Ferguson stared blankly at Aldridge for a while, and turned away after dropping a sentence.


    "Even if you''re not kidding, I won''t retire. Without leading Manchester United to end Millwall''s rule, I''m a deserter. Damn Millwall, **** Aldridge!"


    Aldridge watched the old man turn stubbornly away, one hand on his hips, one hand on the forehead, closed his eyes and smiled and said to himself: "What do you call me..."


    In Aldrich''s opinion, Ferguson is like the immortal villain in the cartoon, and every time he is defeated, he will say "I will come back!"


    Counting and fighting with him for 7 years. In these 7 years, the opponents in the Premier League disappeared one by one, replaced by new faces, probably only like Ferguson and Wenger. A dead enemy that has never changed can make you simply not look at each other with your opponent.


    "At the end of the game, Millwall defeated Manchester United 2:0, and the defending champion Millwall League four consecutive crowns officially entered the countdown. Arsenal in the second place should really appreciate the pain of Manchester United in the past few years and compete with Millwall for the league. The championship is really desperate! Arsenal have already played their most efficient season in the Premier League era, but they still can¡¯t shake Millwall¡¯s domination, and even the chance of challenge seems slim, at the end of the season , Will be the milestone time point of the Premier League for ten years. If Millwall wins this season, then there is no doubt that the most successful club in the Premier League in this decade must belong to Millwall. In ten years, five championship trophies were won by Milwaukee. Take away!"


    At the end of the game, Aldridge did not shake hands with Ferguson. Ferguson is expected to reprimand his disciples, but Aldridge did not praise the team. Today''s victory is fully deserved, and the team should also win.


    Millwall opened the prelude to a full-line sprint for the championship. The UEFA Champions League second stage group game won four games and has advanced to the quarter-finals in advance. However, at this stage, unless the rotation breaks, the players must go all out on the field. This is a way to guarantee the state. It is impossible to let the players converge on the court, either rest or try their best, otherwise, neglect on the court will kill the state.


    Therefore, when the fifth round of the game against Bayern Munich comes, Aldridge still intends to let the main lineup play the game. The reason is simple. In case the bench lineup loses, it will affect morale. Munich, Aldridge''s last minute substitutions made his memory fresh.


    Bayern Munich is now trying to make the line. The Bovista of this group is to give away the child, and was ruined by the other three teams. Millwall came out in advance. The remaining Galatasaray and Bayern Munich grabbed a place. .


    The day before the Champions League came, Aldridge received a call.


    "Aldrich, are you free? I invite you to dinner."


    "Isn''t it? Even if I''m free, am I flying to Italy now? Or are you flying to London? Did you make a mistake? I''ll be playing at Millwall in London for tomorrow''s Champions League."


    "Uh, I''m in London."


    "Hah, there is no good feast, you have bad intentions."


    "No, no, we are friends, and we connect with each other normally. I have more time recently."


    "Oh, that''s true. Well, say a place, I''m going to the banquet."


    ...


    After hanging up the phone, Aldridge put on his suit in the living room at home and put it on again. After seeing it, he asked curiously, "It''s about to eat, where are you going?"


    Aldridge laughed: "Someone invites to dinner, I will entertain him."


    Yi Wen frowned slightly and felt strange, and immediately relieved, guessing that it should be a matter of business, eating, just a guise, otherwise Aldridge will definitely bring his family.


    On the way to the appointment by car, Aldridge called Andrew and asked about it.


    He came to a high-end restaurant in the city and saw the person who invited him to dinner in the private room. The other party was extremely enthusiastic and stood up smilingly to give Aldridge a hug.


    "Long time no see, Aldridge, why are you getting younger and younger?"


    "Oh, I''m not old. Boom!"


    Aldridge gave him a hug and kissed the other person''s shiny head, and said with a smile: "Adriano, how many zero checks did your boss give you?"


    Adriano is Galliani, the manager of AC Milan.


    He smiled bitterly, looking at the kid''s status today, and being able to talk about business, he didn''t know how much he was going to be slaughtered.


    "Sit down and eat first."


    After sitting down, Aldridge directly ordered his meal. He didn''t treat himself as a guest at all. He asked Galliani what wine to drink, and then added a good bottle of wine. Anyway, he wasn''t paying for it.


    "How''s it going? Alas, I asked one more time, Millwall is fine, there is no problem at all."


    "Oh, let me ask you, how are you doing recently? Well, I have to ask too much, AC Milan should be nothing, so your boss can''t sit still, take out the checkbook and start filling in numbers, right? "


    Galliani touched his bald head and nodded helplessly.


    Indeed, AC Milan has been very disappointing this season. Last season did not get the Champions League tickets. This season''s Serie A competition is Juventus, Rome, Inter Milan, which has nothing to do with AC Milan. Now AC Milan''s only goal , Is to get the league fourth, enter the Champions League next season.


    After dinner came, Galliani watched Aldrich''s appetite, and the food seemed to be particularly fragrant. He poured wine frequently, and raised his glasses to clink the two. Galiani knew that he would never cut into the subject again. In case Aldrich When I finished eating, I wiped my mouth and patted my ass, and left the meal.


    "Hey, drink slowly, drink slowly, did you not eat at noon?"


    "Eat, not full, I took note of this restaurant, the meal was good, and brought my family someday."


    "No worries, no worries, there is time. That, Aldridge, I received the news that several Italian players in Millwall plan to transfer back to Italy this summer, right?"


    Aldridge twitched his eyes while holding a wine glass, anxious about Galliani. He sipped and smiled and said: "Well, yes, there are several players who are tired of living in London and want to return to Italy. After all, they are Well, their motherland, I can understand. Besides, they have contributed so much to Millwall, and I cannot force them to stay.


    "Yes, yes, you are now the first handsome coach in Europe, there is no need to make conflicts with the players, the pass is not good, the players stay in the club, it also affects the internal unity, um, as far as I know, it is Materazzi, Zambrotta, Gattuso, Pirlo, these four players will leave Millwall and return to Italy, right?"


    Galliani stared at Aldridge with both eyes, and after Aldridge nodded to confirm, he suddenly shouted.


    "Okay! AC Milan wants it all!"


    Aldridge just took another sip of wine and saw Galliani''s eyes screaming excitedly, but he couldn''t hold back.

 Chapter 753： Old friend

    Galliani was stunned by Aldridge''s sip of wine. Aldridge coughed twice and immediately picked up the napkin at hand to wipe his head.


    "Sorry sorry, not intentionally, really not intentionally."


    Galliani wiped the drink on the top of his head and face himself, and said with a smile: "It''s okay, it doesn''t matter. Well, how do you think?"


    "What''s the matter?"


    "These four players will be taken away by AC Milan."


    Aldridge poured a glass of wine again and shook his head: "How do I think you are talking about buying Chinese cabbage, not telling me about a player transfer."


    "Eh? What do you mean? I am sincere, and AC Milan is also sincere!"


    "No, can AC Milan pay more than 150 million pounds in transfer fees?"


    Galliani was dumbfounded. He planned to take the four players with 80 million pounds. Good guy, Aldridge said, the base price was 150 million pounds!


    He grimaced: "Isn''t it so expensive?"


    Aldridge¡¯s expression became serious, holding Galiani¡¯s hand and said seriously: ¡°Mattazzi first, only his size and body, 10 million bases, then his defensive ability, first of all air defense is not Question, physical confrontation can crush his striker, can you show me a few? Vieri? Please, Vieri is about to die. Is this a minimum of 10 million pounds bonus? These years in Millwall The accumulated top-level experience and the champion''s temperament are only his honor, at least 10 million? This is 30 million pounds. Millwall is not a big jump sale. You don¡¯t have to pay at least 5 million pounds to show your sincerity. ? 35 million pounds, you buy it, not losing money."


    Galliani was stunned and wanted to speak, but Aldridge continued: "Again, Zambrotta, he is now able to compete with the world''s first full-back defender. He can attack good defensively. I can get through with opponents, grass, I really don¡¯t want him to leave, but since he wants to go, I won¡¯t stop, but what do you think of Carlos¡¯ worth? You go to Real Madrid to offer 30 million pounds, you see Real Madrid sell Don¡¯t sell Carlos to you, and how old is he now? 25 years old, golden age! Whoever buys it, at least 5 years, a position is world-class level, sit back and relax. 40 million, you are my friend, I I gave you this price."


    Galliani was about to cry.


    "Gattuso, I admit that this kid is not well-known, but I like him, especially like him, he is like a matador, when he comes up with interest, he alone, can run away the other midfielder! You don¡¯t say He plays rough, he¡¯s smart, he¡¯s not sticky, he¡¯s stable, you know? Who is the person with the highest success rate in Millwall¡¯s technical statistics? Er, not Gattuso, but Gattuso is ranked The first three are higher than Pirlo. He almost never misses a pass. This guarantees defensive safety. You know the importance of this! Besides, you definitely want Pirlo the most, but Pirlo cannot defend. Do you have to give him a gold **** role? In addition to Gattuso, you can find me, who else can you find to play such a role? Gattuso is at least 35 million pounds, which is cheap for you."


    Galliani lowered his head and sweated on his forehead.


    "Pirlo, who is Pirlo? Last year¡¯s third place at the Golden Globes, Millwall¡¯s brain, how many years did it take for me to develop such an extraordinary wizard? The ball is numb, without Pirlo, their goals are at least half off, Pirlo''s ability to control the game, his contribution to the offense and the importance, your Italian ball critics are analyzing every day, I don''t need to say more, he only How old is 23 years old, and the position of players like him on the field is older, more experienced, and the state will not decline. What you want to buy is a player who can play for the team for ten years or even longer The master of midfield organization, Zidane can be worth more than 50 million pounds when he is over 30 years old. I know that Pirlo is not as good as Zidane. But Pirlo is a young man. I won¡¯t say much. The price is 60 million. Sterling. You want to take these four players, okay, I count, 35, 40, 35, 60, uh, you see, single sale, this is 170 million pounds, we are friends, we give you a discount , 150 million pounds, your boss signs a check, I leave it here, I can make a deal without waiting for the World Cup to end, lest you have long nights, you can prepare for the next season as soon as possible, is that interesting?"


    Aldridge finished speaking in one breath, then raised an eyebrow at Galliani.


    Galliani smiled bitterly in his heart. Odric, the wife of a princess who sold melons and boasted herself, what could he say?


    Is it wrong?


    There are too many picks, what did you buy? Don¡¯t you hit yourself?


    In fact, Aldridge basically said everything.


    If it weren''t for these players to have advantages and outstanding abilities, Galliani wouldn''t really have run in person.


    The reason why his psychological price is very low is because of practical factors.


    These Italian internationals want to return to their home country, not to leave for competitive reasons. Then, first of all, the clubs outside of Italy can be excluded, in other words: the price increase is less.


    The Italian homeland has come and gone. The clubs are attractive. The top three in the North are naturally the first to bear the brunt. Secondly, clubs like Lazio and Palma are in financial crisis. Rome¡¯s attractiveness and transfer fee competition can be ignored.


    Juventus, Inter Milan, AC Milan, bluntly, just these three.


    In view of the off-site grudges between Millwall and Juventus, the likelihood of the two doing business is almost zero.


    Galliani is competing for nothing more than Inter Milan.


    Inter Milan have no time to think about the transfer operation in the summer, because they are busy fighting for the championship. The transfer market is turbulent. Let me say whether we can finalize the transfer. First, it will affect the internal hearts of the people. Inter management is not Will do the stupid thing that destroys the Great Wall. Moreover, Cooper leads the team''s style. In the competition, players like Pirlo are definitely not what Cooper wants. Pirlo is good, but not the type that Cooper likes to use. It¡¯s useless to buy, so Aldrich said that Pirlo is worth 60 million pounds. If it¡¯s an open auction, all European giants will participate in the competition. Even if it doesn¡¯t reach 60 million pounds, a 40 million pounds discount should be no problem. , But now the AC Milan family is most sincere and actually participate in the competition, the transfer price will certainly not be raised.


    "Can it be cheaper?"


    Galliani was silent for a long time, and squeezed out such a sentence.


    Aldridge looked at him for a long while and said to the table: "Well, after so many years of friendship, if you have spoken, I can''t say it if you refuse. 5 million, no, 10 million! 140 million pounds. I changed someone else to me So, I will definitely raise the price."


    Galliani took Audridge''s hand in his backhand and said sincerely: "Audridge, I know, thank you so much. Let''s do this. Let''s put together an integer, 100 million pounds!"


    Aldridge¡¯s eyes widened and he wanted to draw his hand back, but was sighed by Galliani. He sighed and said, ¡°Old friend, you made me hard to do. It¡¯s about half a million dollars, only 100 million. Pound sterling? How do I tell the fans? Your price is an insult to Millwall, an insult to the four players, and the honors they have earned add up to at least four or fifty championship trophies! Worth 100 million pounds? I put together seven substitutes, plus four of them, to play a business match for a year, and also earned at least 50 million pounds."


    Galliani figured it out, Aldridge will certainly not sell the four players for less than 100 million pounds, perhaps 140 million is a psychological price point, at best there will be about 10 million fluctuations.


    Galliani gritted his teeth and said, "120 million pounds, no more!"


    Aldridge was suspicious and asked, "AC Milan has played so much?"


    Lao Beifu can be a rival to the country, but it does not mean that Lao Bei is a fool. He has invested so much at once. A rich political player, I am afraid that calculating the gains and losses of interest will lead to a negative answer.


    It¡¯s very simple, come out with 120 million pounds and cast 40 million pounds every summer, so that Milan fans can give Lao Beige a tribute to the ball, obediently vote for him and add a check in the support option in the support rate survey. Why bother? How much money did the child hit?


    Galliani saw Aldrich seem to have a tendency to agree, slightly smiled, let go of his hand, and said: "In the summer, we can directly pay 50 million pounds, and then the rest, installment, what do you think kind?"


    "No talk! Millwall never accepts installments, and the money is becoming less valuable. You understand that 10 million pounds a decade ago can make a shock transfer, and 10 years later, 10 million pounds at best buy one. Second-rate player, old friend, do you want to kill me?"


    Seeing that this was unreasonable, Galliani made another move and proposed: "Well, how about AC Milan joining the player trade?"


    Aldrich turned his head to the other side, obviously not interested, but Galliani began to sell with a dazzling expression.


    "Old friend, would you listen to my introduction first, Albertini, how? A generation of midfield superstars and countless fans. Although they are older, they can provide a wealth of experience in the Millwall formation. This, you You can understand the importance, right?"


    Aldridge pouted: "So good, why don''t Ancelotti?"


    About four months ago, Ancelotti came to AC Milan to take up a new position. Although his two years at Juventus were not successful, he did not suddenly fall to the bottom. The two runners up at Juventus, plus Prior to his success in Palma, Ann Fat is now considered a passable state among first-class coaches.


    Albertini has no requirement to play the main role in AC Milan, just want to retire quietly in AC Milan, but Ancelotti does not want to see him again, so Albertini can only leave in a sad mood.


    If Millwall does not have Lampard and Alonso who are about to return, Aldridge may be really interested in Albertini¡¯s experience, but now, he refuses to let Millwall become a nursing home for other stars in his later years.


    Galliani continued: "I know you like young players, we have a lot of good talents with good talents, how about Borriello? How about Matri? And our 18-year-old talent midfielder Pastre Luo, 17-year-old Portoroto, known as Piccolo of New Piero, is known as Stefani of New Costa Kuta..."


    Galliani''s mouth was almost broken. Some of the young players he said were known to Audric, such as Borriello and Matri, but there were some players who were named XX II. He even heard his name. I haven''t heard of it. It is estimated that it is not as good as "Qin II".


    Galliani''s throat smoked, and he couldn''t stop it. Aldridge said: "Old friend, the players you said, I have a dozen new Henrys and Ronaldinho II at my training base. , Little Pirlo...I am selling players, not buying players, don¡¯t be greedy, since there is so much money, these four players, you can just pick two and forget it, uh, I only accept to pay the transfer fee once , Installments are not accepted."


    Galliani said pitifully: "If I don''t buy it, if I''m not greedy, I''ll let Inter Milan start? In this way, in terms of overall strength, can''t I be able to open up the strength with competitors?"


    The reason is very simple, and Aldrich also understands that he has no choice but to say: "Then I can''t give you away for nothing?"


    "What''s a free delivery?"


    "If you give 100 million, I will sell you three players and give away one, isn''t it?"


    "Ugh¡­¡­"


    Galliani scratched his head, and finally took a step back. The idea of ??packing and taking away four players failed. Now, only looking at the team can introduce a few players, 3 or 2, he will return to the club to consider Consider, combined with the opinion of the coaching staff, since it is a 4 out of 3 or 4 out of 2, you must buy the best, most practical, and also satisfactory to the head coach.

 Chapter 754： You have Zhang Liangji, I have a wall ladder

    On the way home, Aldridge was depressed.


    The best players may not be able to sell their worth, which is a reality.


    The most critical factor is the player''s will. For example, some players only want to go to a certain team, so do other players provide quotations, do the players care?


    not give a **** about!


    Transfer fees are not for players, they care about contract treatment.


    Therefore, it is often seen that in some transfers, some publicly recognized stars have made transfers but have created lower-than-expected transfer fees.


    The four Italian internationals in the Millwall formation who are scheduled to leave in the summer have certain limitations. The transfer fee bid excludes non-Italian giants.


    For example, if Real Madrid buys Pirlo and bids 30 million pounds, Italian giants can ignore this price, they will pay 25 million pounds, what can Millwall do? Promised to Real Madrid, Pirlo certainly did not agree. If he did not want to return to Italy, he would simply stay in Millwall. If Millwall does not agree with the offer of the Italian giants, Pirlo may feel that the club is deliberately preventing him from leaving, good The relationship may be cracked.


    But at the step of the transfer, the Italian giants did not come up with a sincere offer. Millwall certainly did not let people go. The players themselves should be able to understand the club and say that it is good to get together and don¡¯t embarrass both parties.


    There is one more thing that Adrici is distressed about. It is because Mogi is still in Juventus. Millwall does not deal with Juventus. In fact, he can only send the player to Milan City. The key is that the player walks into San Siro , Walked into Meazza, even though it was the same place.


    Lao Bei might not be able to spend a huge sum of money to pack the four people away at all. Moratti might have this courage. Aldrich thinks about it and can¡¯t send all four players to a club. The qualitative change brought too much.


    Let¡¯s look at it when it¡¯s about to come. Now it¡¯s unrealistic to think about it any more. The player¡¯s own wishes are very important. Aldrich still respects this.


    When I drove home and parked the car in the garage, Aldridge''s phone rang, and I picked it up. It was a coincidence.


    When Galiani was sent away, Moratti called him directly.


    "Aldrich, at the end of the season, how many days do you come to Milan?"


    "Uh, I kindly received it, but I''m going to take the team to the World Cup in Asia."


    "Oh, I was negligent, then I will just say that Inter Milan is not suitable for a transfer now, but we can talk about it at the end of the season."


    "okay."


    After hanging up Moratti''s call, Aldridge was in a better mood. At least it was determined that there was a bidder. Moreover, due to the grievances of the two clubs, Moratti did not really want to buy it. It''s a willingness to raise hands, and in turn, AC Milan is the same.


    This call came at this time, Moratti actually hoped that Aldridge should not promise others in advance, the current situation in Inter Milan, the signing of the summer is imperative, because they should have no problem in locking the qualification for the Champions League next season. There was no Champions League mission this season.


    ...


    At the beginning of the London City Lantern Festival, the Lion King Stadium was lit up like a daylight. There were no seats in the stadium tonight. The Champions League game came again. Although Millwall has advanced to the top eight, the opponent is Bayern Munich, which attracted a large number of fans to watch the game.


    "Rarely after locking the top 8 seats, Millwall also sent the strongest lineup to face the German giants Bayern Munich. Ha ha, remember that before the last confrontation, Bayern Munich coach Heathfield Hao said that he found a way to restrain Millwall. , The result Bayern Munich lost 2:4 at home, before today¡¯s game, Heathfield did not boast about Haikou, only said that Bayern Munich will work hard to advance to the quarterfinals, I don¡¯t know if Millwall will Relaxed because he has advanced to the quarterfinals. However, the Lion King Stadium, already claimed to be the first devil''s home in Europe, has never been a guest team that can take away victory here!"


    The energetic Aldridge walked with a smile and shook hands with Heathfield. The coach was energetic and showed no signs of timidity.


    "Bayern Munich''s lineup looks very strong today."


    Aldridge compliments.


    Heathfield replied with a smile: "Milwall is at its peak."


    Aldridge laughed: "Then firepower will start a battle?"


    "As it should be."


    The two let go and turned back to the coach''s seat.


    Aldridge returned to the coach seat and Jenson immediately said: "Bayern Munich today is estimated to be the tactic of the last match."


    "Well, it can be seen from their lineup."


    The reason why Aldridge said that Bayern Munich''s lineup looks strong today, because the opponent''s Jeremys started, Bayern Munich is not expected to play 4321, but 4312, Barack single front waist, with double forwards, backcourt defense system The whole will not change much.


    "Fortunately we are prepared."


    Jenson was very excited. Like everyone else, he could feel the extraordinary experience of playing against Bayern Munich.


    If the last confrontation Bayern Munich had limitations at home and eventually had to change the tactical strategy, then today it is Millwall¡¯s turn to put a tight spell on their heads and they must firmly carry out their offense at home!


    In this way, Bayern Munich''s tactical system of four backs and three backs based on counterattacks can maximize its advantages, tough defense and huge offensive space.


    Millwall players smiled at each other before the kick-off.


    The last time they played, they were quickly unbalanced by their opponents'' intense defense in the first 30 minutes.


    But today, seeing Bayern Munich''s starting, and the position of the players before the kick-off, they instead have a very relaxed mentality and contain excitement.


    Because they are prepared!


    Just guard against Bayern Munich.


    Heathfield stood on the sidelines watching the game, and his brows frowned after the game began.


    Immediately shook his head secretly.


    It is normal for Millwall to be prepared, and he should not be surprised.


    The formation and lineup used by Aldridge has not changed. Larson and Henry, who were absent from the last game, also returned to the starting lineup. The two teams have completely taken out the strongest lineup to face this game.


    The only difference with Millwall in 433 is that their trident is not in a hurry to go up, and is more closely linked to the midfield line.


    When the offensive advances to the front waist area, it stops forward, passes the ball patiently, uses the advantage of the number of people accumulated in this area to create an empty, and then takes a long shot.


    Heathfield gave another admiring sigh.


    Millwall is still the main attack today, but not blindly oppressing, but trying to control and control in the front waist zone.


    Logically speaking, that area should be the zone where Bayern Munich''s three-back midfielder strangled madly, but Millwall''s trident, plus Nedved and Pirlo, maintained distance and level in this zone, forming 23 Dislocation of regional control, so that Bayern Munich''s defense becomes very uncomfortable.


    Obviously, no Millwall players can be seen near the Bayern Munich penalty area. Millwall''s strike line retraced, giving the midfielder a huge advantage in the frontcourt.


    At the same time, in turn, when Millwall''s offense ended and Bayern Munich switched from defense to defense, Millwall''s anti-robbing effect on them was also more efficient than before, because the forward players were positioned further back.


    Heathfield is still thinking about the purpose of Millwall playing this way. The advantage comes from the advantage, but it may not be able to penetrate the defense line.


    Bayern Munich''s defensive advantage is to compress the space inside and outside the penalty area. Millwall''s frontcourt control today is concentrated on the center line to the big penalty area.


    Is it?


    Heathfield thought of it a little, and was shocked. At this time, in the 22nd minute of the game, Ronaldinho came to the side of the midfielder Hargreaves. He and Nedved It''s more like gripping Hargreaves.


    Pirlo was under Jeremys'' frontal marking and passed the ball to Nedved. Hargreaves moved to defend. Jeremys also turned and dragged back. Nedved kept passing the ball back. To Pirlo, who then passed the ball to Ronaldinho. After such a return triangle pass, Ronaldinho got rid of the ball and turned to face Bayern Munich''s back line. The defender Link immediately came to block, Kufuor Staring at Henry who was in the forward position, Ronaldinho passed a diagonal plug and penetrated behind Kufuor. I saw Larson and Lizarazu go side by side, but Larson''s position was better. He It was by the side rolling towards the ball. When he first touched the ball, Larson knew he could not finish the shot, so he knocked the ball behind him, and the Bayern Munich defense was shocked, only to see Nedved The ball hit the ball and volleyed the ball through Kahn''s ten fingers.


    "A wonderful and unprecedented offensive cooperation, Nedvide opened the record for Millwall! Millwall''s cooperation in a small space was pleasing to the eye. In the end, Larsson assisted Nedved to break the goal. Bayern Munich is in danger. If Galatasaray wins this round and Bayern Munich can¡¯t rewrite the score, the two teams will evenly tie. Who can qualify depends on the result of the last round."


    As always, the Lion King Stadium is in a tumult. Millwall is at its peak. Every game and every goal makes the fans ecstatic. Football is their feast.


    Heathfield turned to the coach''s seat, covered his mouth and whispered with his assistant, and exchanged views on how to deal with Millwall''s controlled play.


    He originally thought that Millwall was just a trident as a bridgehead to build a fort for Nedved or Pirlo for long-range shots. This is a trick to break the dense defense.


    But after seeing the goal drop, Heathfield understood that he thought too shallowly, and Millwall converged on the offensive end, from a fatal sublimation to control, which put Bayern Munich in an unprecedented dilemma.

 Chapter 755： Last choice

    At the Lion King Stadium, the fans just saw Millwall''s strong force and once again penetrated the goal of Bayern Munich, but they did not know that on the level of the coach''s fighting skills, Odridge pushed Heathfield into a desperate situation.


    Breaking intensive defense, whether it is a long-range shot or a personal breakthrough, is only a one-off attack, a separate attack, and Millwall''s frontcourt-controlled style of play suppresses Bayern Munich in the overall situation.


    In theory, Bayern Munich''s defense can complete every triangle of Millwall''s offensive players, improve the fault tolerance rate, and focus on restrictions.


    However, in practice, it is impossible to do this every time, especially when the offensive player takes the initiative to disturb the position and disrupts the opponent¡¯s mark-to-point plan, the position of the offensive side is changing, and the defensive side must also respond immediately and respond slightly. If the rhythm is not followed, the opponent may catch the flaw.


    Millwall''s lack of offense, based on control, is constantly destroying the defensive rhythm that disrupts Bayern Munich''s midfielder. Then when the opportunity arises, he then directly faces the opponent''s backline with less play and more. In fact, it splits Bayern Munich. Defensive system!


    It is very difficult to do this, but Millwall did it, which is where Audridge is proud. At the peak of the mad lion dynasty, not only is the player''s ability strong, but also includes team understanding, consciousness, and game experience. The accumulation of various aspects has made the tactical arrangement of the head coach easier. Players are able to integrate and communicate without the need for long-term drills. The large frame remains unchanged and minor adjustments can be achieved in actual combat faster and achieve the desired results.


    Heathfield is still communicating with his assistants on how to solve the current dilemma.


    His assistant drew a simple sketch of the position in the tactical book.


    The focus is on Millwall''s offensive position.


    It is said that the defense cuts the opponent''s formation. After Millwall''s front line retreated, it turned into Millwall''s offensive formation and cut Bayern Munich''s defensive formation. Because they have many people and form a layered relationship before and after, Bayern Munich The third back is surrounded, on the basis of control, a certain period of time penetrates this line, and then quickly faces the defender line for the final offensive cooperation.


    "What is the premise of the guard line? In turn, we can sandwich their strikers."


    Hearing the words of the assistant, Heathfield directly shook his head and denied: "In that way, the original intention of defending is lost, the premise of the defender line, the opponent''s forward, Henry, Larson, and the anti-offside ability are outstanding. Once our defender line commits this Turned around, everything was too late!"


    His assistant scratched his head. Think about it too. Bayern Munich''s defense is to compress the space in the most dangerous zone on the offensive end. If the back line is the premise, wouldn''t it be the case? In fact, it is precisely because Millwall played behind the ball in the past few years, straight, over-the-top straight, oblique long pass all opponents are heartbroken, this has to delay the defense line to attack them with intensive defense.


    "How about pushing forward the backline? Forcing them to organize the offensive zone farther."


    "Giving Ronaldinho space to start, let him increase the speed of the ball, his ability to directly enter the penalty area from the front waistline, disturbing our ability to defend in the middle, this..."


    Heathfield was refuting his assistant, but he couldn''t say anything.


    Millwall¡¯s trident attack was too threatening because of the characteristics of these three players, which played their own advantages in different situations and made their opponents undefeated.


    Short pass, long pass, dribbling breakthrough, long shot, teamwork, Millwall not only cultivated the team''s super technical and tactical qualities, but also because the characteristics of the players selected when Aldridge built the team are very comprehensive All-round, a player cannot be proficient in all kinds of martial arts, but a team of 11 players can do this. If you say offensively, there is nothing Millwall cannot do, and on the basis of the meeting They all have first-class ability.


    Heathfield racked his brains here to think about how to deal with it. He was almost driven crazy by his own brainstorming. It was strange, really strange, like Zidane¡¯s ability, public recognition, now sure It is more than Pirlo, but if Pirlo is replaced by Zidane in the Millwall formation, Heathfield will think that Millwall may not play such a terrifying dominance and then match up with other players. Derwed, Ronaldinho, Henry, Larson, especially Larson, as they grow older, Larson is not as sharp as before, but can be replaced by other similar wingers. Making Millwall''s offense more powerful will even reduce the threat.


    This is the "puzzle" effect that football circles often talk about when forming lineups. Fans will say that the strongest 11 players can form the strongest team in history. In fact, it is unlikely that the strongest players may form the strongest team. Teams, and the strongest team, not all players are the strongest.


    Heathfield was at a loss on the sidelines, and there was no progress in discussions with his assistants.


    In the tactical cat-and-mouse game, he is like a Tom cat, Aldridge is like a Jerry mouse, and the cat can¡¯t catch the mouse.


    In the 41st minute of the game, Bayern Munich full-back Sagnol took the initiative to grab. He couldn''t hold back. The defender line and the back waistline were torn. The Millwall''s trident, Sagnol I think this game is really **** ridiculous!


    Ronaldinho actually moved around Jeremys, as if ignoring Sagnol.


    Saniol really wanted to say to him: "Brother, I am your opponent!"


    Watching his teammates being teased in the backline, Saniol rushed up with a fluke. He thought that as long as Bayern Munich''s defender went up, he would definitely press Millwall back, and then find Bayern Munich. Opportunity to fight back in tactics.


    When he went up, the Millwall attack group immediately discovered this.


    Pirlo took the initiative to pass the ball to Ronaldinho. Sagnol was pleased. He believed that as long as he was not broken by Ronaldinho, then the defense would not be a problem.


    But he was wrong, absolutely wrong. When Millwall controlled the offensive in this way, he was also a kind of provocation and seduction. Anyway, the players could not understand what Aldridge said about "surrounding aid", but as long as Bayern When the Munich defender is moved, the chance of the opportunity appearing is very high, because the lateral defense area of ??the opposing defender line has expanded.


    Sure enough, Sagnol went up, Ronaldinho took a step away from the outside line at the moment of receiving the ball, and then used the heel to knock the ball behind him.


    He received the ball from the back of Bayern Munich goal, the heel kick, the ball naturally rolled in the direction of Bayern Munich''s penalty area.


    Saniol didn''t expect Ronaldinho to come here for a while, and he scolded in his heart: You **** really have long eyes behind his head?


    Subconsciously reached out to intercept, almost pulling the egg!


    Sagnol watched the ball roll over from his toes less than half a meter away, rolling behind him.


    Who will be behind?


    Henry!


    Henry of Labian!


    Obviously, Sagnol pushed forward, and this side came out. When Pirlo passed the ball, Henry started to start. Although Ronaldinho''s pass was a little off, the air was really caught by Henry.


    Henry led the ball forward and approached the bottom line position. Link came to block, Henry quickly crossed, Link turned his head and looked cold.


    Nedved killed!


    Hargreaves, Jeremys, Kufuor, including Kahn who walked out of the goal, Nedved was caught in the bag, but at the moment of touching the ball, Nedved gently used his foot arch The ball was kicked diagonally, and the whole person fell into the penalty area of ??Bayern Munich. He was to avoid Koufel''s flying shovel blockage. The ball rolled from Kufuor''s body to the other side.


    Larson and Lizalazu were fighting for speed again. This time, Larson blocked Lizarazu behind him. When he rushed to the front of the ball for two meters, he and Lizarazu flew at the same time. It''s all going towards the ball, but Larson is faster, the gap is only between electro-optical flint, Larsen''s toes poke the ball into the goal of Bayern Munich!


    "Larson! The hero King Larson in the hearts of crazy fans has scored! 2:0! Millwall scored another goal before the end of the first half! Once again demonstrated the extraordinary ability to capture fighters!"


    Heathfield bowed his head and sighed on the sidelines.


    How can Millwall be so strong?


    In this kind of ball, as long as every link is slow for one second, one shot, or even one breathing time, Millwall may not score.


    Ronaldinho''s pass is a magic stroke, Henry''s comprehensiveness of the edge, the timing of the ball decisively, Nedved''s calm assists, and Larson''s timely outsourcing.


    If one person falls off the chain, this attack will return without success!


    This is also the reason why Heathfield denied the assistant¡¯s suggestion to push forward the defender line. It¡¯s just that Sagnol¡¯s one-point exposure resulted in a goal drop. He dared to let the entire defender line up and Millwall saved his cooperation. Pirlo, Ronaldinho, just over the top and hit the ball, Boom Boom, get the goal.


    Millwall players enjoyed the game very much because they knew how strong their opponents¡¯ will to win, and Bayern Munich is also a European famous team that relies on the whole, and all efforts to smash opponents in teamwork, such satisfaction The sense makes them have to enjoy it.


    Aldrich''s handsome face showed a smile, he was enjoying the game, or he was waiting, counting down.


    2: 0!


    The game is not over yet.


    There is still suspense.


    However, if Bayern Munich does not move anymore, then, when the game becomes unsustainable, when entering garbage time, Aldridge''s waiting is over.


    Seeing the end of the first half, Heathfield''s assistant asked in a low voice: "How to adjust at midfield?"


    With no expression on his face, Heathfield said indifferently: "There is only one last option left. I don''t want to use it, but I have to use it. Anyway, if you lose the game, the outside world will not think that Bayern Munich has taken dignity from here."


    His assistant pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "Are you going to use the second set of established tactics?"


    For such a crucial game, the head coach cannot be unprepared. Although the changes on the field are unpredictable, there will be a lot of accidents on the spot, but in preparation, at least want to think about how to play in a draw, how to play when leading, and falling behind What to do when it comes to times, as for different time periods, that can be flexible.


    The second set of tactics mentioned by Heathfield''s assistant was prepared by the Bayern Munich coaching staff before the game, and based on the lead, the tactics formulated to preserve the fruits of victory.


    Now the score is backward, but forced to use, the assistant feels a trace of sadness in his heart, the German giants, forced by the contemporary European king to this point on the road, so that his mood is very low.


    "Regardless of the final result, in the past few years against Milwall, we have recognized the definition and strength of the strongest. Millwall''s team, as well as their coach Aldridge Hall, lost to them. Although he was not reconciled, he had to admit defeat, without any luck."


    Before entering the player channel, Heathfield said to his coaching staff colleagues.

 Chapter 756： On the field

    "Don''t relax in the second half, Bayern Munich hasn''t made a move yet, we must be alert to their possible counterattack!"


    Aldridge in the locker room ordered the players to cheer up.


    However, he did not give any instructions on the actual tactical adjustment.


    Millwall led by two goals, which was a stable score and one that was the easiest to relax.


    Aldridge wants to make adjustments. As long as the adjustments are made, the player''s attention will definitely be concentrated in the game and will be fully committed to the implementation.


    However, Millwall performed perfectly in the first half. No matter how he adjusted, Aldridge would not necessarily improve the team''s combat effectiveness in the second half. The winner remains unchanged. This is the basic law of the football field. In German proverbs, it is: If a thing is not damaged, then you should not repair it.


    At this time, the adjustment is self-disruptive, especially Bayern Munich has not played the first half of the offense that made Odri? feel ominous. All aspects of player positioning and tactical routines are prepared for the game before the Millwall coaching team. Within the expectation.


    The players laughed at each other. For them, Bayern Munich led by two goals in the first half, and it was estimated that their opponents would not cause much trouble in the second half.


    Really in the second half, Aldridge looked at Bayern Munich''s technical and tactical routines, and was suddenly dumbfounded!


    "It''s weird that Bayern Munich clearly fell behind by two goals, but they didn''t invest more force on the offensive end, but instead the defensive formation was more backward!


    Yes, the adjustment made by Heathfield midfielder is to make Bayern Munich''s tactical play simple and rough.


    The four guards cannot go out of the big penalty area in parallel, which completely surrounds the penalty area and protects the goal. In addition to the protection of Hargreaves and Jeremys in front of the big penalty area line, the 4+2 defense line can become 6 at any time. The people were parallel, with one Effenberg remaining, sweeping back and forth across the entire lower back area.


    This is the momentum of the bus.


    It''s just not so thorough. Barack is still in the midfield, with Pizarro and Elber on the line.


    Bayern Munich stop midfield!


    Anyway, they can''t control the midfield. Rather than losing in the midfield against the midfield, it is better to retreat to the last line of defense.


    Then the offense relies on a long pass from the backcourt.


    Barak, Pizarro, these are players who have a certain strength to grab the high ball, and with Elber''s ability to capture fighters, what is Bayern Munich playing?


    British traditional long pass red hanging!


    Aldridge stood up and walked to the side of the court, turning his head around in surprise and glancing at Heathfield.


    how? give up?


    He didn''t understand, did Heathfield expect this to save the game?


    Or is it too ugly to lose?


    That actually amounts to giving up.


    He didn''t know that this tactic was played by Bayern Munich when they took the lead. In the lead, this way of play can maximize the loss of the ball, and at the same time force Millwall to assist at the full-back and increase the frontcourt. Oppression, then, Bayern Munich''s counterattack is not just a long pass, in the appropriate counterattack environment, Lizarazu and Saniol''s sideline forward will be a deadly threat.


    It is now two goals behind. Bayern Munich is playing like this. It is true that Heathfield has no way to do so, and can only try his luck, just like Blackburn faced Millwall.


    "Oh, the situation in the second half is very weird. Bayern Munich is more like a traditional British team. Millwall is a typical European team. It is really sad to see such a scene."


    Aldridge sat back on the coach seat, and he knew Millwall''s weaknesses better than anyone.


    To be afraid of anything, long-passing hoisting is a type, especially targeted long-passing hoisting.


    What are you afraid of?


    In the 58th minute of the second half, Lizarazu made a long pass in the backcourt, and Barak moved to the left of the front waistline. After Schneider and Gattuso intercepted the header, the ball flew to the empty zone and Elber snatched it. He got the ball before Materazzi, then played decisively one-on-one with Pizarro. Elber rushed behind Materazzi and received the ball when he first entered the penalty area. The ball was impeccably shot and flew into the goal on the inside of the far post.


    This was Bayern Munich''s first goal in the game and it was a goal.


    "Wow, Bayern Munich recovered a goal and the goal was Elber. There was a problem with Millwall''s defense. Isn''t Bayern Munich playing such a magical effect? ??At least they can already score the goal and score. Now!"


    Aldridge smiled bitterly.


    The reason why Millwall was afraid of targeted long pass rushing is only partial. If it is on the right side, the problem is not big, but Gattuso in the back waistline, and the right back Schneider, The inherent disadvantage of height cannot be changed. When the high ball falls in this area, if you can''t seize the landing point, you can basically be controlled by your opponent.


    This is why the central defender next to Schneider is Materazzi, complementing each other. If Materazzi and Southgate lose a position, then the opponent will play an oblique long pass from the other side. This area The defense in the penalty area will definitely be exploded.


    Aldridge still sits on the coach seat, he doesn¡¯t need to say anything to the players, what is the problem, the players themselves know, he believes that the back line will be adjusted, this is not the first time, but it will not last It happened, but it was suddenly attacked by Bayern Munich, and it sounded the alarm again.


    Henry, Larson, and Ronaldinho are more depressed. Before the kick-off position, the offensive players took the initiative to communicate.


    "Fuck, they just scored a goal, it''s too bully!"


    Um, in Ronaldinho''s view, Bayern Munich''s play is a bit bullying. Gattuso and Schneider cannot grow taller. They must be robbed. It is necessary to post it, but Barak Heading directly to the ferry to make the ball, even the defensive opportunities are not given to them, the ball is lost, even teammates can''t look down.


    Henry sighed on his hips: "No way, if we have such an advantage, we will use it, and of course they will not miss it."


    Contest in the field, to promote strengths and avoid weaknesses, reasonable.


    Larsson looked at Bayern Munich''s quick formation before the kick-off position and thought about it: "They are defending like this, then we will shoot more long shots outside the penalty area. You two will try to disturb them. Defense."


    Ronaldinho made an OK gesture, and Henry also nodded.


    The lost goal made Millwall players angry, and it seemed unreasonable.


    In their view, if they want to play a bit more, they can definitely make Bayern Munich cry and leave the stadium, but they are not insignificant, and they have changed for Bayern Munich. The ball is lost on their own side, and it is natural for the anger beyond ordinary.


    Heathfield remained immobile after scoring a goal, and he had a hint of anticipation.


    Millwall, press it up, press it up!


    As long as the formation is chaotic and the mood is impatient, Bayern Munich can create miracles with this simple and rough play!


    At this time, he had no idea that Bayern Munich, a German giant, was on the road, and the use of this type of formation that would make many German famous people hate.


    Anyway, he doesn¡¯t have any other way, and he will be criticized if he loses the game. Now that there is such a glimmer of hope, where can the result go?


    Maybe he evened the score, and even won the game, then the criticisms incurred after the game will definitely be reduced a lot, and there will be support for his voice to support him.


    However, he underestimated Millwall''s psychological quality.


    Anger is one of the sources of instigation of war. Millwall had an invisible war on the field at 2:0. After all, the score was comfortable, but he was pulled back in less than 60 minutes, which made their The fighting rekindled to the top.


    After the kick-off, Millwall faced Bayern Munich''s sight of the water in the restricted area and began to make long-range shots in the periphery.


    Bayern Munich don''t want midfield, Millwall players want to pass? Ground pass or high ball, the space is not big, the straight plug can not play the back line, want to break through? Before the penalty area, you casually take the ball and want to enter the penalty area. No matter where you break, you will at least face Bayern Munich''s closed defense.


    Such a scene is also testing the player''s ability.


    In the 72nd minute, Ronaldinho dribbling on the left side of the frontcourt. He was in front of the penalty area. The defense line against Bayern Munich was not a straight conflict, but a horizontal dribbling, giving the impression that Bayern Munich''s goal was on the sidelines.


    Effenberg returned to the anti-sweep, Ronaldinho stopped and took a step back, and then turned to seem to be going to kill a **** road from the middle road. Jeremys rushed to the rescue, Ronaldinho suddenly stopped and smashed the ball to the inside Taking a step, Hargreaves was waiting for him, but Ronaldinho turned to speed and dribble to the right side to kill.


    Bayern Munich players are dumbfounded.


    Where are you taking the ball?


    Larsson inserted forward, Kufuor withdrew the block, Lizarazu replaced the seat, Ronaldinho suddenly stepped on the ball in front of Lizarazu and turned around, then in Effenberg and Hagrif When Si rushed forward, the ball was passed between the two. In the middle of the penalty area, Pirlo appeared here, stopped the ball and shot with his feet angry!


    A rock-shattering long shot penetrated Bayern Munich''s gate, and Kahn could only look at the ball with excitement.


    "Ronaldinho''s brilliant and outstanding performance, and then gave Pirlo a very comfortable assist. Pirlo''s shot was amazing, power control, angle selection, Kahn was defeated by him, 3: 1. Millwall once again achieved a two-ball lead."


    Heathfield dropped his head, his body weak.


    What else can I do?


    Seeing the goal, Aldridge stood up and applauded vigorously.


    "He has completely matured and is now at his peak."


    Aldridge raved about Ronaldinho''s performance.


    It¡¯s like saying something: three years of learning to talk, and shutting up for a lifetime.


    The same is true for players. When they take the ball all the way to black, they will always only move forward, but it is difficult to learn to stop and look back. It is very difficult for players to achieve this, which represents an essential change in strength.


    If Ronaldinho''s dribbling just hit Bayern Munich''s back line, he would fail 80%, but he moved laterally. From left to right, he overturned Bayern Munich''s backline and matched Larson, Henry, and Inner. De Vide''s position moved, and he turned back to pass the ball to Pirlo. In front of Pirlo, almost no one blocked his shooting angle, which meant that Ronaldinho''s reading ability on the court was sublimated again, completely All reached the level of control, he alone disturbed Bayern Munich''s defense line, disrupted the opponent''s man-to-man deployment, and drove the ability of the offensive teammates.


    After the ball was dropped, Bayern Munich players also began to feel a bit frustrated.


    I have tried all kinds of methods, I have tried it!


    However, but still can''t stop Millwall from scoring, what else?


    Seeing the back defense and losing the ball, Barak took the initiative to go back to participate in the defense. Like the goal scored before, Bayern Munich may not be able to pass a foot from the backcourt for 10 minutes. Bayern Munich fully defends the rest of the time. Millwall began to slow down the pace, and through several substitutions, the game time was exhausted.


    "Millwall beat Bayern Munich 3-1 at home. They locked the group first and advanced to the top 8. Although Bayern Munich lost the game, there is good news that Galatasaray failed to win the Bo on the road. Vesta, as long as Bayern Munich defeat Boavista in the final round, they can still advance to the top 8 with the status of second in the group."


    Aldrich shook hands with Heathfield after the game. The two had a long conversation and exchanged a lot of content. In these years, Aldridge has conquered Heathfield. The other party is respectful, and Aldridge is not too big. Compliments, please have Heathfield have a drink in the office, the opponent is on the field, and make a friend off the field.

 Chapter 757： Unchanging

    "The final suspense in the Premier League, Arsenal''s decisive battle!"


    After the Champions League, Millwall is going to challenge Highbury to challenge Arsenal, no, it should be Arsenal to challenge Millwall at home.


    Even if Arsenal wins, they still cannot close the point gap to single digits, but Fleet Street still thinks that this game will ultimately determine whether the Premier League champions will be taken away by Millwall again.


    The reason is: if Arsenal wins, the morale stimulation can make them burst in the final sprint, otherwise, Millwall may affect the final state due to the blow caused by the defeat.


    Over the years, Arsenal¡¯s fan base has grown bigger and bigger. The changes Wenger has brought to Arsenal are obvious to everyone. He has won the championship before, and he has beaten Manchester United this season. It is just how weak he is in Millwall¡¯s competition.


    For Arsenal fans, Arsenal''s biggest problem is not the fall of Millwall in the league, but the weakness of the Gunners in the European War!


    It seems that when it comes to the European stadium, Arsenal will not give people a special sense of presence, playing soy sauce, accompany the prince to study, and often suffer from thunderbolts in strong dialogues. The fans are numb and do not know where the problem is.


    In the middle of the week, Millwall defeated Bayern Munich 3-1.


    Arsenal lost to A Coruna on the road.


    David Miller wrote an analysis: The difference in coach''s on-the-spot command ability determines the team''s different destiny.


    David Miller believes that a team that performs well in the league may not be able to go further in the Champions League, because the league period is longer, the coach can make mistakes in a game, but in the Champions League, 90 minutes may be a Decide time with death.


    At the technical and tactical level, in the league, the team can use a set of technical tactics from the first round to the last round. As long as the overall efficiency of the 38 rounds of the league is good, then the team''s ranking can be satisfactory.


    But in the Champions League, fixed skills and tactics, lack of on-the-spot changes, targeted risk and gambling, in this contest, it is likely to be the most critical factor in determining the fate of the team.


    Perhaps it is harsh to compare Arsenal with Millwall, but the stumbling in the league is not as good as Arsenal''s Manchester United, but unlike Arsenal''s so difficult in the European War.


    Now, Arsenal is likely to miss the quarter-finals of the Champions League and have to play a final match against Millwall. This is a test for Wenger. In such a situation, if you still maintain the same technical and tactical style, defeat What is the probability that Millwall will win the top 8 from the Champions League?


    David Miller was sentimental, especially witnessing and repeatedly studying the two games between Bayern Munich and Millwall. Generally speaking, Millwall is 433, Bayern Munich is 4321 and 4312, but the basic formation is just Numbers, in the use of tactics and changes, the battle between Aldridge and Heathfield in the two group matches showed a variety of content, Aldridge won, but if he does not have those changes and targeted deployment, it may be The winner will be Heathfield.


    And why Arsenal is weak in the European War, David Miller believes that Arsenal lacks such changes, which directly affects the coach''s on-the-spot command ability.


    In-depth analysis, David Miller is also using this to confirm why Millwall can play the skyward data in the league. Millwall has remained unchanged from beginning to end. They may be able to score 80 points at the end of the season, but When they are constantly responding to the crisis, they take the initiative to get 82 points before the league is over!


    The extra points put Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool out of reach and fell into despair.


    Highbury, full of seats, Aldridge¡¯s family also came here to watch the game. This season¡¯s heavyweight contest is one less game. In this game, Millwall can be regarded as the main force. Arsenal strive for a win. Since then, it has been a strong battle, and the dialogue between the Premier League and the strong starts.


    Wenger shook hands with Aldridge before the game, the top battle, these two years, the battle between the two has been inferior to the war between Aldridge and Ferguson, because in the past three years, Arsenal missed the Champions League battle.


    "To see Arsenal have the opportunity to win the league title today, Alsena, I admire you."


    Aldridge said heartily.


    Wenger faced him face-to-face, and the two still held hands. He said in surprise: "Think carefully, I admire you even more. When Millwall was heavily in debt to build a new stadium, you dare to sell half of the team''s main force. I, honestly, don''t dare!"


    Aldridge smiled and said nothing. He said that he admired Wenger. It was indeed sincere. Arsenal''s financial situation was relatively tight. The lineup thickness was the worst among the Premier League giants, but it could reach today''s level in the league.


    As for the period when Millwall was in debt when building a new stadium, Aldridge did not hesitate to sell half of the team¡¯s main force in exchange for huge income to ease financial pressure and lay the foundation for development. In this regard, he did not feel any pride. If he didn¡¯t know how many "genius treasures" in his head were waiting for him to dig, would he dare to sell? I don''t know how many farce "players have to go, the coach will stay".


    "Millwall is going to sprint with all his strength?"


    "of course."


    "Not seen after the game."


    "Old rules, not seen after the game."


    Aldridge and Wenger smiled at each other and turned to their respective coach seats.


    Do not look at Arsenal still on the main lineup, but they are obviously a bit afraid, the midweek Champions League defeat, the last round left, there is very little hope of advancing to the quarter-finals, can always be a fight.


    Millwall is also four days and two battles. First of all, his physical reserve is better. Secondly, the Champions League in the middle of the week is at home. Unlike Arsenal who ran away to play games, the energy of the Lawton was exhausted. Millwall¡¯s status today is more No surprise at all.


    Aldridge admired Wenger, admired his talents in club management, but on the team''s technical and tactical level, to be honest, Wenger can make Aldridge''s expectations fall every year, and today, he It is no longer expected that Wenger could catch him by surprise at the tactical level.


    On the contrary, today, Millwall attacked away, and Aldridge gave Wenger a headache.


    This season, the player Aldridge is relying on is not Henry, Larson, Nedved, or Pirlo, but Ronaldinho!


    Why?


    Because Ronaldinho has brought too many changes after he matured!


    In the frontcourt, he was omnipotent and used Ronaldinho''s abilities flexibly, allowing him to play different roles in different situations, and he was able to derive offensive changes.


    "Ronaldinho passed the bottom line! Afterwards, Larsson topped the goal! The goal was scored! Larsson pushed Keon to header the goal! Millwall took the lead in the 18th minute!"


    Wenger stood on the sidelines with his arms crossed, expressing his dissatisfaction with the team''s defense.


    Vieira also spread her hand towards Wenger on the court, indicating a little helplessness.


    In the deployment before the game, the key defense is Ronaldinho''s threat. Beware of Ronaldinho cut into the middle of the road to transpose or cooperate with Nedved. But today I saw the ghost. Ronaldinho is like a frontier. , Ironed heart and cross the ball with the bottom.


    I have to say that Ronaldinho''s cross ball, especially looking for Larson around the back point, has already played well, but in the past, it was often a 45-degree oblique long pass. It was a surprise to beat his opponent. Today is a bottom pass. First He let the opponent''s back line retreat and withdrew to the door, and then he guided precisely.


    Wenger sighed in the sky.


    Arsenal''s backline has something to say about instability. The elderly Keon is definitely one, especially in the emergency stop and the sharp turn defense, the phenomenon of mark-to-position is becoming more and more.


    In the targeted deployment before the game, Millwall must have penetrated Keon.


    Deliberately avoided Arsenal''s powerful midfield defense in the backcourt, which is the double midfielder formed by Vieira and Palor.


    Because of this, Ronaldinho did not cut inwards, and against the fierce Vieira, this match is definitely beyond the ball.


    Just play on the side, just hit the side from the side and then pass the ball. Henry header is not reliable, but he can pack the ball forward, Ronaldinho can give him a half-height ball or ground cross, Larson¡¯s ghostly running bag The back point and the middle road, as well as Nedved suddenly plug in from time to time.


    Arsenal was very depressed. Millwall played the best of today''s strengths and avoided weaknesses. You have a hard way in the middle, but I don''t want to fight you hard!


    "Defense, counterattack on the wing, plug in the middle, defense, counterattack on the wing, plug in the middle. Arsenal really look like David Miller wrote in the column. In this league, they have been playing like this. With their lineup strength, they can definitely win a lot of games, but in a strong dialogue, especially when the opponent has strength and focuses on restricting you, you should always come up with a little new means. It¡¯s like today¡¯s Millwall. Ronaldinho frequently crosses on the sidelines. This is not Millwall¡¯s main offensive method, but they insist on using it in this game. The effect is very good. First, they were avoided by Assen. Na''s double-backed midfielder strangled, followed by Keon''s defensive weakness, Larson scored a header, then stopped the ball after receiving a pass to Henry, assisted Henry, Arsenal lost Isn¡¯t it wrong? I think Millwall won the deserved reputation without relying on a trace of luck, or even a bit of luck. Henry wasted a chance to score a header close to the goal, God knows that it is less than three yards away from the goal, He could actually fly the ball, what happened to his head, and Nedved shot the crossbar from a distance. 0:2, Arsenal lost the decisive battle described by the media, there is no need to hype Arsenal have a chance to challenge Millwall¡¯s throne. Even if the two teams share the same point, after finishing 7 rounds of the league, 99% of the championship will still be Millwall. I hope Wenger will make Arsenal strong next season. Strong dialogue shows some other skills. If your offensive routine can be guessed by fans and spectators, then your team obviously has no secrets in the eyes of opponents."


    After the game, Aldridge did not shake hands with Wenger and left, and Millwall players frantically celebrated at Highbury.


    The league champion has not ran, and can celebrate at home in Highbury, the second-ranked team at the league. This is a good self-reward before their game. It is a small self-reward, and they take the initiative to create some things that they will have aftertaste. Memories.

 Chapter 758： The next generation prototype

    "Milwall sweeps everything!"


    "Unstoppable mad lion!"


    "Who will stop Millwall? Hall: No one!"


    ...


    Fleet Street touts the hype to the best of a series of exciting games recently played by Millwall. Aldridge beat Heathfield twice, defeating Ferguson and Wenger one after another, making him the number one public enemy in the European coaching profession.


    Fleet Street is also complaining about the Champions League system.


    In the two-stage group stage, the irritancy is reduced first.


    In the six rounds, the top 16 is decided, which is nothing. At the beginning of the season, there is a warm-up period, which is good for the team and the enjoyment of the event.


    However, 16 into 8 and need to play 6 games, which makes the excitement of the event much reduced. The two games of 180 minutes and 6 games of 360 minutes of points can bring the same stimulus.


    Just like now, the final round of the UEFA Champions League second group stage is about to start. Many games have lost their utilitarian significance. Winning and losing have no effect on the promotion to the top 8. The game is more like a routine.


    At this time, it was precisely at the end of the season that the major leagues were running nervously, but the Champions League staged a game of no suspense and no excitement. The fans were dissatisfied and the broadcasters were dissatisfied. Those UEFA Champions League teams were more like playing business The competition is mainly about making money.


    Two days later, Millwall will go to Turkey and challenge Galatasaray away. Five-game victory. Millwall who has advanced in advance will definitely not send another main player to play, even the big list will not be ranked as the main player. .


    Today, the team conducts training as usual. On a sunny afternoon, the main players who will stay in London for a break in the middle of the week have just finished a set of training. At this time, they sit on the court to rest.


    "How about the castle?"


    "Trouble, it will definitely be far away from the club, driving a waste of time."


    Ronaldinho was lying on the grass with his legs swaying, and was exchanging opinions with Schneider.


    Recently, he wanted to buy a new house. He thinks that the three-story building he lives in is too small. The ideal is to be able to accommodate more than 50 people for parties.


    Schneider squeezed his biceps and poked with his fingers. He seemed to be testing the hardness. He said casually: "You can just go to the boss''s brother and it will be done in three days."


    Ronaldinho thought for a while and nodded. "It seems that I still have to trouble him. You say weird or not. I have been in London for so many years, but now I want to buy a house, but I have no clue."


    "What''s strange, if you don''t play football or practice, go out every day and browse real estate news every day, you will know everything. Unfortunately, you are not doing that."


    Xiao Luo smiled and said, "Yes, as the boss said, I only have one job, that is to play well. Haha."


    Southgate, Henry, and Nedved were chatting not far away.


    Henry put his hands on the grass behind him and looked at another training ground in the distance. Audridge carefully arranged the training tasks for the four players in front of him with a tactical book. Henry chuckled: "Sometimes I don¡¯t understand, all Newspapers say that the next game is a game that we have walked through. Why didn''t the boss sit down and rest?"


    Southgate pointed to Ronaldinho, who was shaking his head, saying: "If the boss is not like this, there may not be him today, and many of our other excellent teammates."


    Nedved laughed: "After three years, you will not have such a doubt, because you will get used to this kind of scene."


    Henry nodded. He is now in a brilliant career, but his time to Millwall is not too long. From the summer of 98 to the present, it is only four years.


    And like Nedved, they came to the team in 1994. After the team won the Champions League in 1998, they also had doubts like Henry. Aldrich didn¡¯t need to fight like this, but it took another four years. They are accustomed to such a leader, admiring it and understanding that this is part of the reason why Millwall is so successful.


    Henry suddenly said, "Do you know what I am most afraid of now?"


    "Hah, are you injured?"


    "No, I am most afraid of the World Cup in the summer. The French team meets the England team. It is difficult for me to imagine that I am playing on the field and then see that the person standing in front of the opponent''s coach is the leader."


    Henry touched his bald head. He felt that way. When he played for Monaco against Millwall, he never wanted to feel that way again. There was a terrifying strangeness that made him taboo.


    Southgate smiled, and Nedved laughed a little far-fetched.


    Southgate realized what was happening, and said to Nedved: "Hey, don''t think about it, listen, now we have to maintain a happy mood and face each next game full of energy."


    Nedved pushed Southgate and chuckled.


    As the World Cup approached, Millwall talked about this topic. The most lonely thing was Nedved, which also made him a little embarrassed. In the team''s main lineup, he was alone in the World Cup.


    Gattuso and his good friend Pirlo sat cross-legged next to the goal, the two backed against the goal post, Pirrotto looked at the Aldridge on the other training ground with his chin, Gattuso pulled a hand. Count the grass boringly in your hand.


    "Eh, you said, will the Italian coach look like this?"


    Gattuso looked back at Pirlo''s eyes, then turned his head back and continued to throw away the palm grass one by one, saying, "Which club do you mean? Inter Milan''s Cooper Not an Italian, I heard that AC Milan¡¯s head coach has a good private relationship with the boss. The newspaper said that when Thuram moved to Palma, the boss knew the coach who always lost the chain at the critical moment. Jupiter Lippi This should not be the case. He always looks cool. If one day sits on the coach seat and smokes a cigar while the game is in progress, it must be cool!"


    In Gattuso''s mouth, "the head of the chain" means Ang Fat.


    Ancelotti''s coaching at Juventus, both seasons, had a crucial moment of defeat. In 1999, he was reversed by Manchester United in a shocking manner and was reversed in the 2000 league. Fans familiar with Serie A must remember that Juventus lost the league title." "Perugia heavy rain", at the time Juventus coach seat, is Ancelotti.


    Long time no see Pirlo responded, Gattuso turned his head and smiled and asked: "Are you reluctant to leave? Then you will stay."


    Pirlo looked up, with a column on the back of his head, his eyes a little dazed.


    In fact, the four Italian internationals want to leave, the initial idea is not firm, everyone has intricate factors affecting, life, family, career, even the conservative atmosphere of the Italian national team may also affect the idea, sometimes just give it to yourself I found my own reasons and convinced myself, but Pirlo knew that his belief in leaving was very firm. His family was in Italy, not as a fisherman¡¯s family like Gattuso, he was a very rich second generation, Besides, I¡¯m also tired of communicating with people in English as a second language. Under the background of extremely successful and brilliant career, the environment here limits their social interaction.


    There are gains and losses, life will not be perfect, and the focus of the world is not him. He wants to live more freely, more chic, and more contented. If he chooses to leave, then he will also have a good sense of loss.


    He knew that he would never encounter a coach like Aldridge again in his life, a man who was very impressed even when he was seen working from a distance.


    But there is no way. Football is not the whole of his life, and he has already gained no more in the field of football.


    Pirlo turned around and saw Gattuso pulling the grass and counting one by one, scolding: "Are you too cheap?"


    "Can you manage it?"


    Gattuso glared at Pirlo, then lowered his head to continue counting, but raised his head and frowned.


    Damn, forgot where to count!


    Before waiting for him to find Pirlo in trouble, he blamed the other party for interrupting himself, but Pirlo smashed a small grass directly on his head and ran away after he got up.


    "I am grass, turn you back! Stop for Lao Tzu!"


    Seeing this pair of good friends started chasing again, the other teammates laughed.


    Aldridge was working in another field, and suddenly found that the attention of the players in front of him was drawn away. He looked around and saw Gattuso riding on Pirlo. The grass on the turf was constantly moving between Pirlo jerseys. He Waving his finger at the two men, he shouted to Boas: "Vilas, let them go for a lap, three laps!"


    It was originally a break time, but I had the energy to play and play. I am very happy. Then run the circle to vent your energy.


    Boas smirked and waved at Pirlo and Gattuso, supervising them to run the lap.


    Aldridge is back in work. From the outside world, it doesn¡¯t matter whether Millwall will play in the next game.


    But for the head coach, this game is part of the job, and in Aldrich''s eyes, this is a very important job: training new people!


    If he does not pay attention to such games, it is difficult to imagine Ronaldinho, Gattuso, Materazzi, Alonso, Klose and other players can grow up well.


    There are four players standing in front of him, Ronaldo, Kaka, Klose, Villa.


    If you simply train the players and increase the game experience, Aldridge does not need to arrange tasks for them too much, but Aldridge believes that it is time to start special training for Kaka and Ronaldo.


    "Where did I just say?"


    Aldrich was disturbed by Pirlo and Gattuso''s harassment and asked questions.


    Klose said: "Boss, you said we would not depend on a certain player."


    "Ah, yes, the outside world knows that Henry of Millwall is the shooter king, so he will restrict him targetedly. If our tactics absolutely use Henry as the core of the offensive, it may be restricted to die at the critical moment, so you will watch By the way, Larson, Nedved, and Ronaldinho¡¯s goals are not low. What plays a key role here is the entire offensive team, relying on only one player, and other players creating opportunities for him, then The offense is very simple, but if you can create opportunities for each other, the power of such an offense is increasing geometrically, and it is the same for you."


    Aldrich said this, Klose and Villa must understand that Kaka and Ronaldo may need a little more time to digest.


    "Okay, to be more detailed, one-on-one, you all have a certain breakthrough success rate, whether it is 20% or 50%, giving you 5 opportunities, you can succeed at least once, what is the problem? The opponent does not Maybe every time you use one person to defend you, this is the focus of the defense. If we rely on Klose alone, then the opponent will invest 2 people, 3 people to defend him, limit him, and our attack will be over. But if both Klose and Villa have such a threat, the opponent will continue to swing between them when defending, if we have 3 people, 4 people can play the biggest threat, then the opponent Just can¡¯t keep up with our rhythm, the offensive threat transfer is faster than the defensive focus shift! This is the point and essence, understand?"


    Everyone except Ronaldo nodded.


    Cristiano Ronaldo asked, "So how can all four be threatened?"


    Aldrich said: "Read the game and observe the situation. If you face two or three defenders, the first thing you need to realize is: I have attracted 2-3 defensive players. Then, the opponent''s defense in other areas is definitely There will be flaws or weaker, my teammates will have a better chance to threaten the goal. At this stage, you must first develop awareness, not just look at the eyes, see the empty when you think there is a chance, think, when this When this kind of thinking becomes inertia, your ability will be greatly improved in the game. It should be understood that we are a giant, we are a top team, and no opponent will carelessly expose you to an excellent empty space. You break the door or assist your teammates. If you don¡¯t think about it, you can only fight back forever, because only the counterattack has a huge space to make your eyes visible."


    Roth nodded fiercely for a while, as if he had an epiphany.

 Chapter 759： Lion Storm

    Ronaldo is a training standard among Millwall''s new generation of players.


    Work hard and not waste every second, but these trainings can only improve his skills and physical fitness, and such training improvement is a long process that requires day and night hard work, combined with the game in a certain period in the future Opportunity for qualitative change appears, complete gorgeous transformation in one fell swoop.


    Such training is in a hurry, it is impossible to compress 5 years of training within 1 year. If this is the case, maybe he will be destroyed and his physical load exceeds his ability to bear. Ronaldo advised the most, instead: rest more! Stop training! Work and rest!


    After not having a good rest after a game last month and secretly straining himself, Cristiano Ronaldo realized that no matter how hard he tried and spent sleeplessly training, he could not reverse his fatigue. Aldrich also treated him It''s very clear: if you continue such a huge amount of training, then you have no chance to play!


    The reason is simple. It is impossible to devote 100% of your energy to training. Otherwise, what do you do to compete? Instead, training is to prepare for the game.


    Cristiano Ronaldo''s training began to become regular, and his professional attitude can ensure the quality of his training, but his inner desire to improve urgently is still strong and can not be satisfied, so when he rests, he will think about how to make himself change. Get stronger.


    This is why Aldridge deliberately called the four of them today to instill new tactical ideas.


    The improvement of the player''s ability is by no means solely based on training. Like the aliens who read the defensive characteristics of the world''s top guards when they recover from injuries, they study the coping methods. Ronaldinho will usually study the opponent''s overall defensive characteristics, Henry, Larson, etc. Wait, they all do similar work outside of training. These thinking will help them become stronger on the court.


    The new tactics that Aldridge will build today are modified on the basis of the main framework of the main attack group, so that Kaka and Ronaldo can be integrated into them. Such tactics cannot be copied, because Kaka and Nedved have different characteristics. C The characteristics and functions of Ronaldinho and Ronaldinho on the field are even different. Aldrich''s flexibility is on the one hand to allow them to integrate, and on the other hand to activate them.


    After listening to Aldrich''s words, Ronaldo bowed his head and thought for a short time.


    Simply watching Millwall''s game, he would feel that sometimes the offensive players are doing useless passes, but after three or four-footed passes, the offensive opportunities come out, which makes people feel very magical. Before the three-footed pass, it is calm and three-footed. After the ball, the killer appeared, and now he understands that this is what Aldridge said about thinking, and that the offensive threat shifted faster than the opponent''s defensive focus shifted.


    Aldridge called the defensive team of the bench lineup for a half-court offensive and defensive confrontation. The defender added 7 players. The attacker added Alonso, 5VS7 to the four players, and then began to direct the match.


    Perhaps after Kaka and Ronaldo are truly mature, it will take at least two to three years for Audridge to understand that he is now laying the foundation for the next generation of Millwall''s attack group.


    ...


    Two days later, Millwall went to Turkey.


    Galatasaray is waiting for Millwall at the home of the so-called hell. Their situation is very bad. They want to advance to the quarterfinals. In addition to defeating Millwall at home, they also count on Boavista to sniper Bayern Munich.


    In the analysis of Turkish media, it is pointed out that Galatasaray has a chance to win at home: Millwall did not bring a main force!


    Is it an enemy? Or contempt for Galatasaray?


    No one questioned Millwall. They have already won five games and the sprint kicked off at the end of the season. Why should they bring all the main force in a game that has nothing to do with life or death? To blame, blame the current system of the Champions League. If it is a knockout, Millwall will certainly not be so overwhelming.


    "Galatasaray claims to be the home of hell, **** hell, even if this is really hell, we are the king of hell! You also see what the newspaper is saying, Millwall gave up the last round, Millwall tried Use surrender to squeeze Bayern Munich out of the quarterfinals, Millwall is aiming at the quarterfinals, shit, all the news in the newspaper is shit! Galatasaray thought we were here to send points? Outsiders do not understand Millwall, we have never given up any game, yes, we did not bring a superstar, no Nedved, no Henry, no Larson... do you think so? I hope not People will think this way. If so, it means that you are poor worms. You can only live under the great brilliance of your predecessors and tell yourself that today, you are the protagonist, and today is your moment, here is the Champions League 16. Strong stage, you have the qualifications and strength to stand here, show your talents here, and tell your opponents that we are not here to score points, but instead, we are here to score points, we are here to let the **** fall!"


    Before the game, Aldridge paced back and forth in front of each player, giving a passionate speech and mobilizing the morale of the team. This morale transfer has no obvious effect on the main players, but the stimulation effect on the young players is very obvious.


    Metzelder, Alonso, Pedretti and others looked bright, not to mention Ronaldo and Kakaon''s bust as if they were ready to fight against each other.


    Ronaldo wearing the captain''s armband led the whole team to play, it really gave people the impression that Millwall gave up the game and simply exercised the illusion of the newcomer, voila, the young man walking in the front, it seems that the hair is not even!


    Aldridge walked into the court where he was greeted with boos, and even a coin toss attacked him.


    Standing on the sidelines without changing his face, he is not afraid of the atmosphere of the stadium. The words before the game are very important, otherwise, the players will be affected by the atmosphere of the stadium.


    The reason why this game is very important, because for training, there is no better environment than today''s game.


    Galatasaray is the main attacker at home, and his strength is not particularly strong. He is a good opponent to train newcomers.


    After the opening, Millwall started a mad rush in the midfield. The backcourt was mainly defensive and not forward.


    On the other hand, Galatasaray was eager to score and the offense was very direct, but after failing to return from wave to wave of the offensive forward, the back line began to panic.


    "Metzelder and Balzali''s defense on the defender line is very stable today, especially Metzelder, he feels calm, people are concerned about how many new talents offensive talent have appeared in Millwall. , But the growth of Metzelder and Balzali provides a good guarantee for Millwall¡¯s future defense."


    In the 21st minute, Metzelder headed the header and Neil controlled the landing and passed the ball to Alonso. The latter took the ball and observed it, then passed the ball diagonally to Ronaldo.


    Millwall started a fast break from the midfield, Ronaldo led the ball all the way forward, and made a two-on-one with Kaka halfway. When he was about to come to the big penalty line, he noticed that Galatasaray had two The player came to block himself, Kaka attracted one, and Klose attracted two other players. C Ronaldo no longer hesitated and directly sent the ball through a long diagonal pass. The ball landing point was the back point on the other side of the penalty area. !


    The unmarked Villa arrived, stopped the ball, and volleyed in volley!


    The ball flew obliquely into the far corner of the goal like a shell!


    "Millwall is leading! Villa helped the team to open the record. The outside world underestimated Millwall today, and Galatasaray must also underestimate them. Look at their performance on the field, the defense is solid, and the offensive thinking is clear. , The pass success rate is higher than the home team, they are just Millwall''s backup lineup, one can imagine how powerful Millwall is overall!"


    Yes, for the outside world, they always think that Millwall''s backup lineup is average in strength. It is okay to play in the middle and lower reaches of the team. It is really possible to play in a high-level game and it is very likely to be destroyed.


    However, many people are wrong. In addition to the player¡¯s notorious reputation, Millwall¡¯s backup lineup has actually reached the top of the second-rate. If Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka can further improve, this lineup alone Can reach the end of the first-class level!


    Galatasaray was hit in the head, and the offense suddenly converged, and Millwall took advantage of the situation. At the request of Audridge, the team was anti-guest on the road, playing a momentum!


    In the 39th minute of the first half, Alonso pressed forward and handed the ball to Klose before the penalty area. Klose, who leaned back against the opposing defender, gently put the ball, Kaka passed by him, and at the same time The ball was taken away, and a **** road was killed from the narrow air between the two central defenders and rushed past. One rush, one trip, one step adjustment, one volley!


    Goal!


    Kaka, who celebrated the goal with two fingers, turned around to show a handsome smile, surrounded with his teammates and celebrated frantically.


    Aldridge made an uppercut to celebrate, and the goal just now was amazing, just what he wanted to see.


    When Klose and Villa were statically marked to death on the front line, the two had to play for their teammates, but it was not enough for them to do so. Teammates must be conscious to become killers, and Kaka could understand his tactical requirements , And put into action in the game, which makes Audridge very satisfied and excited.


    And he hopes that Kaka can exert the effect, just like before, without any muddle, unexpected and neat, complete a fatal blow when the opponent has not responded at all!


    Galatasaray did not care too much in the second half and could only counterattack. They pulled back a goal in the 59th minute and then heard a very bad news. Bayern Munich led Boavista by two goals at home, even They won and they could not advance to the quarterfinals.


    Millwall didn''t matter so much, even if he was pulled back, his thoughts were still undisturbed.


    In the 68th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka rushed forward from the backcourt penalty area, one on the side and one on the left side of the middle road, continually rushing forward, completing two over one in a row, the two are like Two tornadoes were blown, breaking Galatasaray''s line of defense.


    Aldridge''s eyes were stunned on the sidelines.


    The speed advantage and the dribbling ability of these two people are exerted to the fullest. During the process of constantly hitting the wall and cooperating with the forward rush, people are seeing blood boiling, and it seems that they hope that they will continue to rush like this and rush down!


    Before reaching the penalty area, Kaka suddenly put the ball straight into the penalty area, making Galatasaray caught off guard, probably all thought that Kaka would also give the ball to Ronaldo, but Kaka was in the most dangerous zone and completed the most critical one time. The offensive transfer, this transfer, is fatal.


    Klose made a perfect stop for this attack, his push shot put the ball into the goal.


    Ronaldo stood on the sidelines with open arms and nodded to Kaka with constant laughs. The two of them ran for more than 60 meters. The cooperation on the way passed a total of 5 players in Galatasaray, two of which broke through Once, the rest was a two-by-one piercing. Lastly, Kaka went straight behind and pierced the defense of a player from the other side.


    After completing this exquisite and exciting cooperation, it seems that the goal is more like a icing on the cake, they hugged together and cheered for this offensive cooperation!


    They are enjoying all this.

 Chapter 760： Battle of rivals

    "Crazy Lion Storm Swept Hell!"


    "The Millwall Twins shine across the audience!"


    ...


    Galatasaray eventually lost at home with a score of 2:4, missed the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals, Millwall followed the 6 wins in the 32 rounds of the group, and won the terror record with 6 wins in the 16 rounds. Advance to the top 8!


    The outside world focused on the outstanding performance of Ronaldo and Kaka. Seven years ago, people thought that Ajax would rule European football for an era, but it was eventually destroyed by the impact of the Bosman Act. Millwall became the real power ruler of this era. And, during the dynasty, there have been supernovas constantly emerging. People now question whether Millwall will rule football in this era, because they are now the king of European football!


    The question is: how long will Millwall rule?


    Millwall shows no signs of decay. Finance, the long-term construction of the team''s lineup, these two most important factors, Millwall will not only be worrying, but also do a very good job!


    ...


    Switzerland, Nyon, UEFA Champions League top 8 draw.


    Representatives of the top eight teams came to the scene one after another, Millwall sent CEO Adam and assistant Klinsmann, Aldridge did not show up.


    Perhaps in addition to the representatives of Real Madrid, the representatives of the other 6 teams all hope that Millwall can draw Real Madrid. In this way, the two teams with the strongest UEFA Champions League this season will be folded before the top 4.


    Millwall was not the last team to be drawn. After the seventh team was drawn, the guests on the scene had realized the fate of Millwall, because the last team left was named Barcelona, ??and Mill The column of Wall''s opponent is still empty.


    "Milwall vs Barcelona!"


    Adam was expressionless and was supposed to be the focus. Here, he didn¡¯t get any attention. No one would think he could represent anything. Klinsmann smiled a little. When the interview ended, the Klins Man talked.


    "There are no weak players in the top eight, and it is actually the same to draw anyone. It is difficult to advance to the top four, but Millwall has the consciousness of facing any difficulties. Barcelona has a strong lineup and the team strength cannot be underestimated. This will be a difficult 180 minutes, or 210 minutes, but in the past two years, or even four years, Millwall has come to today in such an environment. We are not afraid of Barcelona, ??and we hope that these two games can be Fans bring high-quality exciting games, and maybe there will be a classic game that fans will never forget, hehehe."


    Fleet Street hyped up the grudges of the two teams after the lottery results came out.


    "Battle of rivals! Millwall meets Barcelona again on the fifth anniversary of the European king!"


    Looking back on the grudges of the two teams, Millwall is regarded as a foothold in Barcelona''s reputation in Europe. In the 97 European Cup Winners'' Cup final, Millwall defeated the Barcelona with aliens. It was also the beginning of the game. Wall began to formally enter Europe, and even the eyes of fans around the world, no one would remember that Millwall had eliminated the defending champion Paris Saint-Germain before, only remembering that year''s final, they defeated the fantastic Barcelona.


    Later in the Champions League, Millwall met Barcelona and gave his opponent a heavy blow. It can be said that Millwall¡¯s grudge with Barcelona is not as good as Bayern Munich. "You stabbed me, I will crush you. The "grey" story, one-sided, Millwall stepped on the upper position of Barcelona and suppressed Barcelona in an all-round way. If there is hatred, it should be Barcelona¡¯s unilateral revenge. Millwall will not think that there is much hatred between the two parties. After all, they Too many heroes have been defeated, and there are too many to count.


    Near the end of the season, Aldridge''s life is very regular. He declined many social activities than in previous years. In addition to working during the day, the time to return home to accompany his family at night is also shorter. He will stay in the study room before 10 o''clock. Ewen spends time with the children and avoids Burt and Earl disturbing Aldridge.


    She knows that the more serious and devoted Aldridge will be at this time, especially the World Cup is waiting for Aldridge this summer.


    In addition to his own work, Aldridge spends most of his time researching opponents. He organizes the collected data, and then reads, studies, and iterates, ponders, thinks, searches his past notebooks, and develops ideas. .


    He knows very well that the knock-out cups are not enough for doing internal work by themselves, absolutely not enough!


    Perhaps the 90-minute game requires 90 hours or even 90 days of energy spent by the coaching staff!


    ...


    On FIFA match day, Aldridge led the England national team against the visiting Paraguay at the Lion King Stadium. He sent the national team to the main lineup and ended the warm-up match with a small victory over his opponent. It also made the last national team warm-up match lose. The negative impact is greatly reduced.


    The Champions League quarter-final is about to start. Barcelona will first come to London as a guest. Millwall welcomes his opponent at home.


    The current Barcelona coach is Rexacci, a legendary Barcelona player. After retiring, he worked as Cruyff¡¯s assistant. Before that, he worked as a firefighter. This season is the second time he has coached Barcelona.


    In an interview with Catalan media before departure, Rexacci said firmly: "I think many strong teams have made a mistake when facing Millwall, that is, they are afraid to fight against their opponents. The reality is that Millwall¡¯s defense is not the best in Europe. Barcelona goes to the road and will not shrink the defense. Even if we want to take a draw, we must have a goal-based draw, but we will take victory as the goal !"


    Lex Sacchi''s remarks won the approval of the Spanish media.


    Millwall¡¯s defense is at best first-class, by no means a model of defensive victory. This is their weakness and they must be exploited. They are extremely convinced that Barcelona can score goals on the road and even destroy the insane lion in the attack!


    Barcelona''s number one star Rivaldo said: "We are not afraid of Millwall, they are strong, we are not weak, we can win!"


    Kluivert made a bold statement: "I will break the goal guarded by Bout!"


    ...


    The departure from Spain to London is not like a football team, but a Catalan army!


    Barcelona¡¯s ambitions are all set to break Millwall¡¯s **** of Europe.


    Facing the majestic Barcelona, ??when Audridge interviewed before the game, Fleet Street relayed Barcelona''s remarks to him, he solemnly replied: "I appreciate Barcelona''s courage, this is also my One of the qualities that the team must have. However, I will not look at the opponent blindly. Maybe Rexacci is right. Our defense is not the strongest in the world, but he should think about why Milwaukee. His opponents will strengthen and strengthen the defense to face us. Maybe, Barcelona encountered a defensive opponent in Spain, and only stared at the defensive link in his eyes."


    Aldrich''s words made Fleet Street reporters bow their heads and smile.


    Valencia, the La Liga leader, relies on defense to top the list. When it comes to offense, Valencia and the La Liga have a big difference.


    ...


    At the beginning of the Chinese lantern, the Lion King Stadium was full, and the fans of the home team made Millwall traditional cheering patterns in the stands, Millwall''s iconic blue male lion.


    Aldrich shook hands with Rexach before the game and prepared to direct the game without talking. Perhaps Rexach planned this way. Aldridge sat directly on the coach¡¯s seat, looking as usual and staring sharply. The stadium is still empty.


    "In the first round of the quarter-finals of the European Championship Cup in the 01-02 season, the defending champion Millwall sits at home against La Liga Barcelona and the game is about to start. Not many, but the combat record shows that Millwall is leading by an overwhelming advantage. Will it be a super feast today? Barcelona coach Rexach said this before the game, it depends on Millwall. Has Hall been there?


    Millwall started 433.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.


    Midfielders: Gattuso, Pirlo, Nedved.


    Forwards: Larson, Henry, Ronaldinho.


    Barcelona started with 442.


    Goalkeeper: Bonano.


    Defenders: Reziger, Abelado, De Boer, Sergi.


    Midfielders: Ovimas, Cocu, Roschenbach, Enrique.


    Forwards: Kluivert, Rivaldo.


    The game is about to start, let us wait and see. "


    This highly anticipated peak battle kicked off, not to mention Barcelona''s ranking in La Liga, but the giants are ultimately giants. Simply speaking, the strength of the lineup, how far is Barcelona from Millwall? Millwall''s gorgeous attack group needn''t be described in detail, but are Cruyvert, Rivaldo, Enrique, and Ovimas on the Barcelona side unknown?


    The crude Brazilian attacked by Roshenback is not a good offense. Putting him and Ronaldinho together is simply the two extremes of Brazilian players, but his fight and fierce defense have good strength, and he never gives up his fighting spirit. Koko, Barcelona''s midfielder is very tough.


    Offensive players are the focus on the court, which makes the outside world look forward to the confrontation between the two teams.


    Before the game, Lex Sachs dared to capture the Lion King Stadium. Dare to say this is naturally emboldened. If you have players like Rivaldo, Cruyvert, and Ovimas, they dare not say a few words. Too big, then this coach is too arrogant.


    As for Aldridge sitting on the coach''s bench, he hoped that there would be smoke bombs on the side of Barcelona, ??slamming a shot to make a surprise move.


    But after seeing the post-opening situation, he smiled calmly and said to himself: "It seems that today no longer needs to fight wits, fighting is enough."

 Chapter 761： Pinnacle

    Barcelona really do have to score goals on the road, and even take away the victory. From the position of their players after the opening, the situation of the offensive investment can be seen.


    However, they are playing away and do not focus on defense. At the beginning of the game, Millwall entered the game faster. Seeing that Barcelona''s formation is not too close, Millwall players began to play.


    In the third minute, Ronaldinho took the ball on the wing. After the speed soared, he did not give the Barcelona full-back a chance to chase back. He directly took the ball and cut the middle of the road. Koko, 31, was taken by Ronaldinho in the frontal defense. Changing direction to break through, and then move forward, attracted Roshenbach''s defense, Ronaldinho saw that the space was wide open, not playful, and passed the ball from Roschenbach to Henry.


    Henry touched the ball and the surrounding area was relatively large. He dribble forward, stopped sharply, used the rhythm to pull the ball laterally, shook Aberado and then ushered in Debord''s defense. Debord realized that it was not good because There was a shadow flashing behind him. When distracted, the ball rolled over his foot. Henry kicked the ball forward. Larsson cut in successfully. This winger cut in. The midfielder played a straight ball behind the defender. Millwall repeatedly tried. !


    Larsson got the ball in the penalty area diagonally. Goalkeeper Bonano abandoned the goal. He just ran a step. Larsson took the ball and also passed the ball. The ball rolled across the small penalty line. On the other side, Nedved relaxed Put the ball into the empty goal.


    At the beginning of the game, Millwall scored a beautiful and easy goal in the eyes of the fans.


    The Lion King Stadium cheered, and Nedved smiled and waved with one hand.


    "Millwall made a fantastic start! This attack can be regarded as the complete defeat of Barcelona at the midfield line and the back line. Ronaldinho ripped the midfield line defense, Henry ripped the back line and finally Larsen Selflessly assisted Nedved, Nedved completed a goal with his eyes closed! The Spanish media should stop that kind of childish discussion, saying that if Millwall is in La Liga, it will definitely not be like Unstoppable in the Premier League, Barcelona is the second team with the fewest goals in La Liga, but their defense has no resistance in front of Millwall¡¯s gorgeous offense. If such a Millwall really goes to La Liga, Did the La Liga leader round get Valencia? Maybe La Liga ended completely in March, and the King of Spain can award Millwall personally!"


    Rexach didn¡¯t command the game yet, and the team lost the ball. As soon as he touched his head, he felt incredible. Millwall¡¯s offensive rhythm was too fast. As long as he established an advantage locally, then the chain effect of the attack would be devastating. effect!


    Barcelona wants to attack, Millwall is at home, and naturally has to attack. They sacrificed the already mature high-pressure press tactics. For a moment, Barcelona''s attack could not be pushed forward. Either a pass error or the front player fell Offside trap.


    Ten minutes later, Roschenbach took a risky pass directly from the backline to find a wing attacking teammate. The longer distance meant a longer reaction time for the defensive player, Zambrotta took the first step to steal the ball and then took the ball along Started to attack on the wing.


    All the way to the area near the bottom line, he didn''t cross when the full-back came to defend, Ronaldinho passed to Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho was physically opposed to the opponent under the defense of Roschenbach, and when the ball rolled over, he raised his foot, The ball rolled under his feet, Roschenbach was still fighting against Ronaldinho, about a second later, he realized that Ronaldinho had no ball under his feet!


    The ball rolling behind Ronaldinho was obtained by Pirlo. Pirlo kicked the ball and gave it to Henry directly. Henry started the forward rush before receiving the ball. The left foot took the ball forward and took Abelado on the side. At the same time, the ball entered the penalty area, and then suddenly kicked back. Aberado stopped to block Henry''s horizontal angle and kicked. Henry suddenly kicked back again. This is the difference in rhythm. Henry completely dumped Aberado. Single-handedly facing goalkeeper Bonano.


    The angle is small, the distance is close, and Henry does not matter so much. One foot volleyed out and the goalkeeper Bonano responded unresponsively. The ball flew into the goal against the near corner of the goal.


    After scoring, Henry put his hand in his ear and easily closed his eyes and jogged towards the side of the court, his face showing the color of indulgence and enjoyment.


    The entire Lion King Stadium overlooked, showing a dazzling visual sense of ups and downs. No matter how many times the Lions fans witnessed the team¡¯s goal, they would create such a huge momentum, and the people were shocked.


    "Barcelona should wake up! Haven''t you entered the game yet? Henry rewrote the score, 2:0, Millwall led by two goals. Is Barcelona going to say goodbye to the Champions League 4 in the first half? The offense has not improved, The defense is not stable, Barcelona wants to take the victory here? The European king Millwall does not agree, nor does the 50,000 lion fan on the scene!


    Rexach had a bit of a daze in his head, and Aldridge had a smile on his face.


    Barcelona came to an away game, failed to enter the state of the game for the first time, and was directly beaten by Millwall''s super attack power.


    Haven''t you adjusted yet?


    Tick ??tick, time can''t wait for someone!


    For Millwall, who has no pressure in the league, the Champions League is the stage where they are fully committed. Speaking of it, they only come to the quarterfinals, but carefully calculated, if you can reach the finals, the remaining time is also It''s just 5 games, 450 minutes, or another 90 minutes.


    Adding up, it''s not even half a day. For Millwall, from now on, every minute of the Champions League, they will cherish it and will do everything they can to explode!


    Less than 15 minutes later, two goals were lost. The Barcelona players were shocked and immediately shrunk their formations. They started a slow rhythm and entered the state. The team''s adjustment process was consistent. After the game reached the 20th minute, Barcelona was finally adjusted. Start to play their offensive threat.


    Peter Pan Oviemas is showing his might on the side, Rivaldo''s ghost deterrence can''t be ignored, Cruyvet''s strong center is obvious, and there is Enerick who is dedicated to attacking the needle and defending the hard work. Barcelona''s attack group is very powerful. Intuitive.


    One side is oppressive offensive, and the other side has to take the initiative to attack on the road, but the scene is not a wide-open tug of war. Millwall''s defense is pressed forward and a crazy press in the midfield. During this period in Barcelona, ??there was no subsequent The shadow of the control of the Universe team, the former brain Guardiola was not on the field. It is conceivable that the attack of Barcelona can not be effectively transmitted from the midfield only by Rough Gorchenbach and Koko, so they only It can be played directly, but can not be continuously and effectively pass and cut cooperation.


    Overmars succeeded in the counter-offside on the wing, drove the ball into a rush, Millwall''s back line quickly retreated, Zambrotta rushed directly to the inside. If Overmars cut inwards, it must be blocked, but now the current Peter Pan is not the later Peter Pan. The Peter Pan called Robben went all the way to black, and then will cross the middle according to the rhythm of the opponent and then cross the middle to make a threat. The Peter Pan is also limited by the current situation. Whether in the club or in the national team, there is a strong center in the middle, and his task is to pass.


    Kluivert is caught between Southgate and Materazzi, and the two central defenders are very tacit. They are not parallel. It is too dangerous. As long as you give it in advance, Kluivert can get forward. Opportunity, after Materazzi dragged, Southgate came forward and only wanted to play a chance at this point from the side pass. It is difficult to reach the sky, unless it is really a Beckham cross, the ball is towards Cruyvert Head smashed!


    Ovimas made an adjustment on the side, stopped the ball, and then passed the ground ball to the middle to Rivaldo. Gattuso posted it directly. When Rivaldo just took the ball, he broke his foot and Rival Stopping the ball to get rid of it, turning around and seeing Pirlo reaching out, he immediately put the ball forward between the two, intending to break through this defensive line, he did break the blockade between Gattuso and Pirlo, but he made a trip This foot ball, but let Southgate grab the ball away, the timing, rhythm, grasp the right.


    Turning his head away, Nedved took the ball all the way from the backcourt and saw that Koko subconsciously blocked his pass to Ronaldinho. Nedved did not hesitate to take the ball to break from the other side. However, Koko chased back again, but Nedved no longer gave him a chance to get close, striding the ball forward with a meteor.


    Three meters in front of Roschenbach, Nedved delivered the ball to Ronaldinho in the running position. Ronaldinho got the ball in front of the penalty area and found that Henry attracted the opponent''s central defender. The middle portal opened wide. Continue to move forward, because there is still a central defender dragging back, I am afraid that he will give a straight ball, but also intends to intercept when he develops into the penalty area.


    Ronaldinho made a decisive move and rubbed the ball with one foot. The ball flew towards the goal with a clear arc. With a bang, the ball hit the beam and flew to the stand.


    Ronaldinho saw that the ball didn''t score when he hit the crossbar. He didn''t even get a corner or a second offensive opportunity. He grinned a bitter smile, shook his head, and then turned and ran back.


    Eight minutes later, Barcelona¡¯s smooth and fast offensive cooperation in the frontcourt, Sergi passed the ball in the backcourt, Enrique kept the ball and passed Millwall¡¯s back line, Materazzi and Kluivert competed for the drop point. Ruiwit touched the ball first, but if he had been with the ball, Materazzi could block him before entering the penalty area, but Cruyvert chose the pass and unexpectedly returned the ball.


    After stopping the ball, Rivaldo dribble a step horizontally, directly passing over the unpredictable Southgate, and then went all the way into the penalty area. After Bout abandoned the goal, he kicked the ball and sent the ball into the goal. Inside.


    "Barcelona pulled back one! This is the peak-level confrontation we were expecting! Rivaldo''s personal ability played a key role. Southgate was a little embarrassed this time. To be honest, without the help of his teammates to compress the space, he One-on-one is not Rivaldo''s opponent at all."


    Rexacci waved his arms excitedly on the sidelines, 2:1, Barcelona scored an away goal, at least the first goal before the match was reached.


    1:0 and 2:1 are very different situations, and being able to score away goals is crucial for Barcelona.


    Next, Barcelona will strive to score again and score more goals!


    But Aldridge did not change his color on the coach seat, the team lost the ball, this is inevitable, any team in the world will lose the ball, Millwall is the same.


    Before the game, he never denied Barcelona''s goal, or preached that he would not let his opponent score a goal at the Lion King Stadium.


    Lex Sachs was right when he said that Millwall''s defense is not the best. Everyone understands this. Numerous ball critics and fans know this fact.


    But why do most teams dare not attack when facing Millwall? Dare not to oppress Millwall is not the top line of defense?


    This is also the reason why Aldridge was calm at this time.


    Today''s game will be very simple.


    It''s so simple that it doesn''t require tactical confrontation, so that all complicated contests can be returned to the original.


    Lost the ball?


    It¡¯s not terrible to lose the ball. Today¡¯s Millwall is not the best to limit his opponent¡¯s Millwall four years ago!


    Today''s Millwall, it should be all opponents who rack their brains to limit their Millwall.


    If your opponent does not do this, then keep your eyes open and watch the results.

 Chapter 762： Fire!

    In fact, Millwall played this game today, and faced with Barcelona''s active attack on the road, they were also somewhat uncomfortable.


    How long haven''t you met an opponent who dared to challenge them at Lion King Stadium?


    For Millwall in a week of doubles or even three games, the memory is really blurry. I can¡¯t remember the name of the opponent who dared to do this last time. Perhaps, it is because even if the opponent has the courage, he can¡¯t play. It came out, or was suppressed by Millwall at the beginning of the game, and then collapsed.


    Dare to attack like Barcelona, ??and have a sufficient number of plane attack groups with a balanced distribution of positions, today it is met with an opponent who can have a high threat value in the attack.


    Southgate glanced at Aldridge on the coach''s seat. He did not believe that his boss could not see Millwall''s defender line. Given the opponent''s large offensive space, especially in the case of anti-offside space, Millwall The defensive line is a more dangerous reality.


    Southgate has self-knowledge. One-on-one. Millwall¡¯s four defenders, including himself, are not Rivaldo¡¯s opponents. In the past, they faced such opponents. They first had to compress the space and not give the opponent anti-offside. The space behind him, in this way, the guard line first lacks a layer of scruples, and then through the team defense, the opponent is hierarchically blocked in a small area. However, for opponents with strong individual capabilities, they rely on this method to restrict each other. of.


    But Aldridge sat there calmly, without showing any signs of adjusting his tactics, Southgate no longer thought much. He knew that Aldridge¡¯s thinking was not something he could perceive, maybe only Only after 90 minutes can you proceed to disprove.


    Southgate talked with Gattuso to increase the depth of Gattuso''s retreat defense. Partially facing Rivaldo, there must be at least two layers of defense. One person robs and the other waits for opportunities. Even if you can''t intercept successfully, you must delay the opponent''s forward impact and give other teammates a place to win time.


    Barcelona pulled back a goal and the momentum rose back. Both teams have completely entered the state of the game. The game scene, confrontation, fierceness, rhythm, instantly rose to an unprecedented height.


    "Wow, the game is getting more and more exciting, Nedvide shot a shot from the big penalty area line, Barcelona quickly organized a fast break, Sergi, Cocu, Enrique received the ball, Schneider broke The ball was successful, Millwall attacked, Pirlo, Larson, Larsen sent a pass, Henry kicked back in the penalty area, will he shoot? No! Beautiful! Henry gave the ball to Rona who came to the middle of the penalty area Ordinho, shot! Bonano confiscated the ball. Ronaldinho''s shot angle is too positive. His shot today does not feel very good. The distance is a little different from the distance, and the close angle is too positive! "


    The pace of the game is very fast, Barcelona wants to attack, but it is difficult to directly penetrate Millwall''s defense with the ball behind him, because Millwall deliberately guards against the opponent and strengthens the personal attack on the side players. In the confrontation with Ovimas, Zambrotta guarantees that the ball and the person can only pass one!


    Schneider and Enrique are in a tangled state. As a result, the requirements for Barcelona''s offensive cooperation are very high. They must take a shot when organizing the attack, and they must ensure the success rate. If the pass is lost, immediately Will become Millwall''s offense.


    In the 37th minute of the game, Cocu received the ball in the midfield, and he couldn''t find the spot in a moment. Millwall''s high-pressure **** suddenly blocked his shot angle and cut the Barcelona attacking formation most perfectly. In two seconds, in one second, Barcelona¡¯s attacking group could successfully catch the ball by running out of the ball, but at this time, Pirlo in front of Cocu stood like a sculpture, just defending Gesture, there is no idea of ??grabbing, Koko hesitated, someone behind stretched his foot to poke the ball away, the person behind stabbed the ball and left him.


    Cocu subconsciously went forward to counter the ball he had lost, but saw Pirlo passing the ball between his legs behind him.


    Cocu turned around and saw that Nedvide led the ball forward and strode the meteor to Barcelona''s penalty area. Don''t think about it. It must have been Nedved''s poke from behind him to Pirlo.


    Nedved led the ball all the way forward and did not rush out the ball. When Roschenbach had to come up to defend him, Nedved easily passed the ball to Larson who cut from the right to the middle of the penalty area. .


    Larsen kept dribbling laterally after touching the ball. Barcelona''s defender did not dare to rush forward, especially the central defender. They believed that as long as they went up, Larsen would definitely give Henry or Ronaldo who was inward on the other side. Dinho, or Nedved, who is now in the middle of the goal, is assisting.


    At this moment, Barcelona''s defense players have a ridiculous idea: God, look at it this way, our defense is really full of loopholes! Is this the second-lowest defense in La Liga?


    When they were afraid of passing behind Larson or when the penalty area was empty, Larson suddenly shot in front of the penalty area!


    In the absence of interference, Larson played freely in front of the penalty area on the right side. He used his right foot to take a free kick and attack the goal.


    When goalkeeper Bonano saw the ball flying towards the goal, he immediately moved a step towards the near post, but just after moving a step, he suddenly stopped and looked in horror. He found that this ball was flying towards the goal far away Pillar!


    At first glance, from Larsen''s foot to the ball flying into the air, if it is a straight line, it must be flying towards the goal near the goal post, that is, hitting the near angle.


    However, with a strong rotation, the ball draws a dazzling arc with the flight process, which is light and beautiful, and weird!


    Banana **** in an absolute sense!


    Bonano didn''t make a save, he predicted the error, and after moving a step, he had lost all the chance to block the attack. He turned his head and looked to the right side of the body, watching the ball spin strongly and flew into the goal. , Wiping the goal net keeps spinning, there is no one-point power impact.


    "Larsen scored an artwork-like goal! What a wonderful arc, the ball speed is just right, people can not feel the impact of power, but there is a soft and intoxicating perfect arc! This is a great The goal is also reminiscent of five years ago, he faced Barcelona with the same one-footed arc hanging door, elegant and light, but able to kill! 3:1, Millwall once again expanded the lead Two **** arrived!"


    What happened, what happened.


    Today, among the home team fans watching at the Lion King Stadium, there are really fans holding the photographic picture of the European winner Cup Larsen playing a wonderful arc ball hanging door in the finals, but now this fan is excited to use this picture board Raising one high, let him become the focus of the live camera lock.


    The Lion King Stadium is boiling. Larsson has many nicknames in the Millwall array of strong players such as Lin masters, and "Ling Fox" has been mentioned the most in the past few years. Now, Millwall¡¯s The four in the attack group all have the title recognized by the fan organization.


    Henry is the king of killers.


    Ronaldinho is the elven king.


    Nedved is the **** of war.


    Larsson, the fans proudly and proudly call him: Hero King!


    Not only has he become the team¡¯s hero countless times, but he has accompanied the team to the present day in 1994, and has countless achievements in the battle against the tyrants.


    Larson ran back on the sidelines and uttered his tongue, chased by his teammates frantically.


    Aldridge made gestures with the coaching staff on the field, trying to depict the trajectory of Larsson''s arc. This ball will be talked about by countless people.


    Lexac frowned deeply, and he found a fatal problem: the efficiency of organizing offensive.


    Millwall¡¯s success rate of advancing the attack to the most dangerous zone through the midfield is very high. This is thanks to Barcelona¡¯s active attack today to weaken the defense. Barcelona faced Millwall¡¯s high pressure and was unable to compete with each other in organizational efficiency. Contrast, especially if the midfielder loses the ball, Millwall''s offensive space, the offensive players have too much room to play.


    Larson cut from the side, and the back guard alone chased and ran behind. What''s the use?


    It¡¯s not that he watched him finish the shot without stopping with ease!


    Barcelona can comfort themselves.


    2:0 and 3:1, obviously 3:1 is better, so the current situation should be slightly better than the situation of throwing two goals within 15 minutes after the opening.


    Lex Satchy shook his head and stopped thinking.


    Barcelona cannot repeat the mistakes of Bayern Munich!


    Relying on the team as a whole, and having many defensive players, Bayern Munich, against Millwall in two games, how bad did they lose? This is the lesson.


    If Bayern Munich can''t stop Millwall by relying on that extreme defensive counterattack, Rexacci doesn''t think Barcelona can do better than Bayern Munich.


    Another point is that Barcelona cannot be disturbed. Like the mistake made by Heathfield in the first game, Rexach is taboo and cannot be led by Millwall!


    Stick to yourself and never waver!


    attack!


    Barcelona must rely on the offensive to win and rely on the offensive to advance to the Final Four!


    After 3 minutes, Barcelona launched a fast break again. Ovimas took the ball on the wing and was slammed from behind by Zambrotta. The referee awarded Barcelona a free kick.


    Seeing that the team¡¯s defensive formation had not been completed, Zambrotta deliberately blocked in front of the ball to prevent Ovimas from passing the ball forward, but Ovimas quickly drove the ball out and he returned the ball. For the teammates who rushed behind, Ronaldinho''s defense was a step slower and was directly picked up by the opponent after receiving the ball.


    Zambrotta didn''t expect that Barcelona would cooperate like this. After Ovimas passed the ball, he rushed forward from him. Zambrotta was caught off guard. Peter Pan stopped the ball before the bottom line and passed in!


    This wave of attack, Barcelona played really fast and ruthless, did not give Millwall any chance, the entire line of defense was running backwards, this time, Cruywitt seized the opportunity in front of the goal, headed the attack door!


    "Bout made a world-class save. He rejected Kluivert''s header from close range!"


    The distance is too close, but Bout can¡¯t control the ball, but can only block it. The ball bounces back in the penalty area. Millwall¡¯s defenders have just chased back and braked. They turned back and rushed to the ball for the first time. Because they saw that Rivaldo had grabbed the landing point, and took advantage of it!


    Unfortunately, Rivaldo hit a low-level shot with this shot, but Bout completely subconsciously blocked it with his body, and the raised thigh blocked the ball again!


    "Bout has made another contribution! It''s incredible! Oh, oh, it''s not over yet, it''s not over yet!"


    This time, due to Rivaldo''s strong shooting power, the ball was ejected from the penalty area, but outside the penalty area, Enrique happened to be at that point. He stopped the ball, pulled the ball horizontally and pulled the angle, rubbing the ball, The ball flew into the upper right corner of the goal. There was no one in that area, and Millwall didn''t even have a person with a piercing eye!


    Bout tilted his head slightly with his hands on his hips and showed a bitter smile to Southgate and others, as if to say: The buddy has already played superbly, this third time, I can''t stop it!

 Chapter 763： roller coaster

    "Cruyvit, Rivaldo, and finally Enrique! Barcelona made a continuous attack with a quick free kick in the frontcourt. The first two attacks were almost necessary goals, but Bout played a brave game Rejecting Cruyvit and Rivaldo''s shots, but again and again, there is no third chance, Enrique calmly put the ball into the goal, 3:2, One ball changed the score and the situation. Now this score will be for Barcelona, ??they should like it!"


    Rexach jumped up in ecstasy and celebrated, hugging the assistants who rushed out of the coach seat.


    3:2. Although it is not a draw or victory, it is better than 1:0 and better than 2:1. If the game ends there, Barcelona will return to the home court, as long as Millwall does not score two goals or more, they are net Win a goal to advance to the Final Four!


    When this goal appeared, there was a commotion on Millwall''s coaching staff.


    Everyone knows that this score is definitely dangerous to Millwall now. Klinsmann looked at Aldridge and found that Aldridge just lowered his head to touch his nose, then raised his head again, his face as usual.


    "Aldrich, do you want to make some adjustments?


    "No, if anyone needs to make an adjustment now, it should be Barcelona."


    "Barcelona?"


    "Well, now is a good time for them to adjust, because the score is beneficial to them, and now withdrawing to fight the anti-reverse, is their best strategy to further improve the odds."


    "What about us?"


    "We don''t do anything. If we step forward again, the team loses its balance. If we take a step back, this game will definitely lose. If Barcelona adjusts, we will move again."


    Aldridge smiled at Klinsmann after speaking.


    Klinsmann looked at each other and calmed down, watching the changes.


    balance?


    Yes, Millwall is balanced in terms of the situation on the court!


    The score is 3:2, Millwall leads, Barcelona does not move, Millwall does not need to change.


    At this point, what can be scared?


    The current game is still very simple in nature.


    Unless the Barcelona side actively moves to make the game complicated, otherwise, Aldridge will not make adjustments.


    This goal made Lex Sac even firmer about the game: must attack!


    Every goal scored by Barcelona can make the situation better!


    Millwall lost the second ball here, the back line felt a little helpless, and the pressure was too much, but Southgate communicated well with his teammates, so that the teammates try to avoid the psychological impact of the goal. A test, the psychological pressure will be very great, can you withstand, it is a test!


    On the contrary, the mentality of the players in front of the attack is not affected at all.


    They lead the score, there is no need to panic?


    Furthermore, in today''s game, the attacking group played very well. It has been a long time since I tried to run freely in such a wide range of offensive space. The Vietnam War, the more exciting!


    "The first half is not over yet. The two sides have combined to score 5 goals. This is really a goal feast. We hope that the next game will show a more exciting picture."


    The fans at the scene were excited, and the commentators who broadcast the game were also excited.


    In anticipation, Millwall''s offensive continued.


    In the 44th minute, Materazzi pushed out Ovimas''s long diagonal pass, and after Pirlo got the ball, he also turned a long diagonal pass to find Ronaldinho on the left. Ronaldinho took the ball and went inside to drive long. .


    Nedvide inserted the left wing obliquely and took away Koko. Ronaldinho and one of his cross positions were stable and excessive. In front of the big penalty area, Ronaldinho was in front of Aberado and Roshanbach on the right.


    Suddenly, Ronaldinho turned to look at Roshenbach.


    Roschenbach suddenly looked at Ronaldinho and felt inexplicable: what do you think of me? Do you want to play against me? Now it''s me who robs you, you should rush forward!


    Abella saw Ronaldinho turned his head and looked subconsciously down his line of sight. He thought Ronaldinho was to observe Larson''s running position. When he recovered, he suddenly found that the ball under Ronaldinho was missing !


    After searching carefully, Abelardo saw the ball rolling from behind him two meters away!


    Aberado''s heart was full of anger: This Brazilian is too cunning! You pass straight to the front, look at the right side of the wool!


    Ronaldinho''s hand attacked the west, or the trick of watching the right pass left both Abelardo and Roschenbach confused. Even Debord who followed Henry was lost in a blink of an eye because Ronaldinho was taking the ball Ah, of course we have to observe his passing trend.


    The ball rolled into the penalty area from Abelado was obtained by Henry who was obliquely inserted. De Boll closely followed Henry. Henry did not stop the ball and did not kick back this time. He made a cold arrow and turned halfway to take a shot!


    Bonano caught off guard by surprise and blocked the ball with his foot. The ball that popped out flew over Aberado''s head. Aberado looked back again. Unlucky!


    The ball came back in front of Ronaldinho, looking at the ball falling from the sky, Ronaldinho stood on his feet and hit the volley directly!


    He didn''t make much effort on this goal, just to ensure that he hit the goal.


    Before Bonano got up from the ground, he saw the ball flew back again, and he dangled lightly into the goal.


    Ronaldinho felt ashamed and had plenty of time to prepare, support his feet, swing his legs, exert strength, movements, and stretch his body. All aspects were very standard. Sorry, I kicked...


    The kicked ball spins high and slow in the air, with an exaggerated parabolic trajectory, and finally falls into the goal of Barcelona.


    De Boer didn''t touch the ball on the goal line and tried to clear the header. The ball was completely wiped down under the beam and flew in.


    At the Lion King Stadium, there was a burst of cheers that shook the sky, and immediately, the fans of the crazy lions enjoyed themselves in the stands.


    They have watched Ronaldinho play football for so many years, knowing that this elf king can write a magic chapter on the court, but to say that a kick volley kicked out the effect of the hanging door, this can never be Ronaldinho''s original intention, especially watching When the ball spins strongly in the air, the audience can see that Ronaldinho is kicking!


    No matter how much Ronaldinho did, the ball went in. He ran to the side of the court and danced. The nearest distance was from the stand. The fans opened their arms and wanted him to come over and hug him. The security guard immediately blocked the edge of the stand.


    "The sixth goal appeared! Crazy game, the first half is not over yet, the sixth goal was born! Ronaldinho''s strange shot hangs the ball into Barcelona''s goal , Now the score is 4:2, this game is so exciting!"


    What is Aldridge doing at this time?


    He lowered his head and let out a breath.


    Is it stress?


    That''s not true.


    However, just a few seconds ago, his mood did indeed experience roller coaster-like ups and downs.


    Henry was ready to shoot, he was excited, the shot was blocked, he was lost, saw Ronaldinho preparing to volley volley, excited, seeing Ronaldinho''s ball kicked off to the stand, he was naturally disappointed when he hit the plane However, after the ball fell slowly into the goal of Barcelona, ??Aldridge was almost broken!


    The lock on the Millwall coach seat captured an interesting scene.


    In the process, the expressions of all the coaches on Millwall''s coach seat changed. After waiting for the goal, Klinsmann patted his chest as if he was slumped in the seat, Jenson rushed out and jumped, Aldridge lowered When he raised his head again, his expression was so weird.


    "Simply this goal cannot be scored?"


    Aldridge said to Klinsmann with a wry smile, and Klinsmann joked: "You change me up, I guarantee a clean goal without any suspense."


    "Then you have to be ten years younger."


    "Only five years old."


    Rexach held his head in disbelief at the picture in front of him.


    What is this for?


    Lost the ball again!


    Of course, Barcelona can continue to comfort itself and optimistically tell itself: the score of 4:2 is definitely better than 3:1, 2:0!


    In the first half of the injury stoppage time, Barcelona restarted the kick, Millwall retired, after all, there is no time, the offensive opportunity is the opponent.


    In the first half, the two sides fought 4:2.


    In the locker room at halftime, Audridge met Dohenry, Ronaldinho and other offensive players discussed the game in the first half with great interest.


    That was 45 minutes they enjoyed and let them kick Hi 45 minutes.


    Used to facing double midfielders, triple midfielders, and even chasing and killing the deadly team''s midfield and backcourt strangulation, Barcelona''s defense today is like giving them a party garden, which can play both speed and breakthrough dribbling. If the space is not bad luck, at least 5!


    Aldridge focused on the defense of the back line. Today, defensive pressure is quite large, and the first half is not adjusted. It is afraid of giving the players the wrong signal.


    He is waiting for what will happen to Barcelona in the second half.


    However, in the second half, Aldridge specially observed for 5 minutes, Barcelona did not change at all, and continued the combat attitude of the first half.


    Rexacci stood on the sidelines holding his arms and looked grim. The protagonist who grabbed the mirror today became him. The broadcaster will edit the contrasting expressions or body language of his excitement and disappointment on the sidelines. In the game, this is a football game, which can bring people to heaven in 90 minutes, or it can knock people to **** in an instant.


    Until now, Rexacci still firmly believed: Barcelona must be based on offense!


    I don''t know if his enthusiasm came from Barcelona''s good offensive hand, or if he didn''t know how to limit Millwall''s offense.


    Anyway, Aldridge has no worries, no need to fight, and the game is simply going on. To put it bluntly, under normal circumstances, Barcelona''s offense can penetrate Millwall''s defense, and Millwall''s offense can also penetrate Barcelona''s defense, but in the team At the technical and tactical level, Millwall is significantly stronger than Barcelona in terms of offensive efficiency, which has become the most basic strength confrontation.


    Barcelona will score and already score, but Millwall will make their goals meaningless!

 Chapter 764： luck

    At the beginning of the second half, Millwall did not oppress him as soon as he opened. At the beginning of the game, he used the advantage of the home court and prepared for the impact of factors such as more adequate preparations to enter the game faster and beat his opponent by surprise.


    But at the beginning of the second half, Millwall, under the direction of Aldridge, must first be alert to Barcelona if there are any unexpected moves, and then first slow down the rhythm and not excessively invest in the offense. Look at the opponent¡¯s tricks. Regain the defeat.


    But after watching for ten minutes, Barcelona has no new killer skills in terms of player positions or offensive running routines, and Millwall displayed their oppressive offense with no fear.


    In the 58th minute, Ronaldinho made a cross from the left and Larsson waited at the back point. Unfortunately, Debord took the lead and made a header. Debord made the ball to the top of the penalty area and Pirlo was outside. Controlling the landing point, Roschenbach guarded the position of the central fortress, Pirlo pulled the ball to the right, and then started the ball at 45 degrees near the side of the wing and made another pass.


    The ball made Henry miserable.


    Heading is not his strong point. The less powerful the technical ability, the more the player will subconsciously avoid using it. He is not used to it and has no confidence!


    Pirlo''s ball bypassed Barcelona''s first central defender, De Boer went out, and at this time, he turned and couldn''t stop the ball. This ball was just a chest-high pass. Henry had the opportunity to outsource it. But he was uncertain during the forward shock.


    Should I bend down and use my head? Or use other body parts to send the ball to the goal?


    How can there be time for him to think and make a choice?


    Other body parts were out of reach, and Henry eventually used the conventional method, heading!


    So he rushed forward to use his head to top the ball, but in the process of hesitation he slowed down the fighter. Maybe it was just 0.1 seconds. The ball flew past his shiny head. If he had hair, Especially the explosive head, he will definitely hit the ball!


    Unfortunately, he did not.


    Feeling a cool breeze blowing in front of his head, Henry was ashamed of himself with shameless self-confidence: Lao Tzu had already practiced the iron-headed skills, and he could really do it.


    In the next second, Henry heard a mumble, a flower in front of him, as if a meteor had crossed in front of him, and went straight to the goal of Barcelona. The goalkeeper Bonano did not respond. Following Henry Abella just thought False alarm, this time, the whole person fell into **** like a mixed bag.


    Henry turned his head to see that Nedved was climbing from the ground. He missed the outsourcing point, but Nedved arrived at the latter point, and bravely and fearlessly rushed to the top to send the ball into the goal.


    Henry admired tears: Heroes!


    Nedved stood up and smiled like a sunny smile at Henry...


    Barcelona''s back line is about to collapse.


    Their goal percentage in La Liga is almost 1 per game, but today, within 60 minutes, they have already scored their fifth goal!


    The defensive player looked at Millwall to celebrate the player, like a ghost!


    Shivering.


    The masters of contemporary kings who ruled European football, attacked the best in firepower!


    "5:2, Nedved scored twice, widening the score gap to 3 goals, maybe Barcelona can withstand a wave of frontal attacks by Millwall, after all, they are La Liga giants, the players are good, but, Without taking the initiative to strengthen the defense, they continued to attack Millwall, two and three times, there was no way to attack, especially the control of the landing area in the outer area. Obviously, it fell. This is why other teams use 7 The reason why individuals, 8 or even 9 defend in the midfield and backcourt, only more people can fill the huge space in the backcourt, without giving Millwall continuous pressure to launch a wave of attacks, very Unfortunately, Barcelona may not realize this."


    Lexac reacted decisively this time, cheering the players on the court, screaming that there was still time, screaming to continue the offensive, and regaining the score, even though his face was so blue that he seemed sick.


    Boas moved his position and came behind Aldridge. Normally, he would not disturb Aldridge during the game, but seeing Aldridge seems very easy today, he took the opportunity to ask.


    "Hey, Aldridge, Barcelona playing like this today, will other teams realize that our defense is really not as strong as the data?"


    To be honest, Millwall¡¯s defensive statistics are very good. The average number of goals conceded per game is only 0.5. This is still counted in the appearance of the young lineup, but it is like Barcelona was scored 5 in 60 minutes. They lost in La Liga. Only one ball was close, and Millwall also lost 2 **** today, which is 4 times the data.


    "Vilas, don''t indulge in data research. What is the source of Millwall''s defensive data? It is our offense that oppresses the opponent, forces the opponent to weaken the offense, and strengthen the defense, so that our defense line pressure is not great and has been tested. The important reason for not many times. If we are a conservative team, based on defense, then the defensive data can best reflect the ability of the defensive end."


    Boas nodded and immediately asked: "If other opponents are like Barcelona, ??and in the game, we have bad luck and our opponents are super good luck, then we are more likely to lose? "


    "Oh, how many teams do you think the European football team can have Barcelona''s offensive configuration. Barcelona''s attack group, from the paper alone, is powerful. In the mismatch, Ovimas and Kluivert The team-side cooperation of Enrique, Rivaldo¡¯s support and interaction with team players like Kluivert and Rivaldo¡¯s striker, only these three routines can derive very powerful offensive power. If you count the Koko that can be attacked, the configuration of Barcelona, ??how many teams do you think can match? Then again, because Barcelona¡¯s attacking configuration is very strong, it may be that they are here to confront us. The courage to attack."


    After Aldridge finished speaking, he continued to watch the game.


    Boas took out the book and began to write notes.


    In fact, as Boas said, in such a scene, the only one who can beat Millwall is luck.


    In the 71st minute, Aldridge was taken aback by Boas'' words.


    Make him think that Barcelona really has some **** luck.


    In the second half, Barcelona tried to play behind Millwall, but failed one time. In addition to the success of Millwall''s offside tactics, it also included the defense of defense provided by the depth of Gattuso''s retreat.


    So Rivaldo retreated during the attack and began to show his long-range power. Without any interference, his long-range shot hit the earth and hit the bottom left corner of the goal. Bout was fully prepared and immediately left to the goal after the opponent shot. Moving, but halfway Southgate tried to block the ball, causing the ball to change direction. Looking back, Boot was dumbfounded, and Southgate dumbfounded.


    The ball rolled in from the right of the goal!


    "Don''t you own the ball? Rivaldo''s long shot passed the Southgate blocking and changed the angle greatly, and finally entered the goal. Barcelona came back from the cliff. 5:3, the crazy game is still going on. ! Only God knows what the score will end in this game!"


    Southgate had a hurried foot, so after blocking the ball, he had a slipping movement. He turned back to see the ball rolling into his door. He knelt on one knee for 5 seconds, lowered his head, and then raised his head. , Waving to Zambrotta who came to try to comfort him.


    Whether it will be counted as an own goal, what is this? Blow? Not shit!


    Southgate''s expression remained firm as usual, unaffected.


    Rexacci saw Barcelona and got back one more, excited and excited, but was also in trouble.


    5:3, definitely better than 2:0, 3:1, 4:2!


    But with Millwall breaking through the city gate five times, who would be confident that Barcelona will return to home to beat Millwall two goals and not allow opponents to score 3 goals or more?


    The gap between the top European teams is actually within one ball.


    In other words, if you draw a match at home, or win a match, 1:0 or 2:1, 3:2, when one side is playing away first, you get a scored loss, and the gap is within a ball, the situation It¡¯s not too bad, just like in the history of 2007, Heathfield led Bayern Munich as a guest Bernabeu was defeated by Real Madrid 3:2. When the final whistle sounded, Heathfield would smile and shook hands with his assistants to celebrate Because this is the reality between top teams, it doesn¡¯t matter if Bayern Munich loses a goal first. They have 2 away goals. Has Hesfield laughed too early? No, in the second round, Bayern Munich eliminated Real Madrid 2-1 at home.


    This is the gap between the top teams of strength, that is, the basic status of the game of the first-class middle and upper reaches of the team, it is difficult to apply to Millwall, because Millwall is already super first-class level!


    Barcelona only lost one away, and there may be a chance of luck, returning to the home to beat Millwall, relying on the advantage of scoring away to advance to the top 4.


    Now they are two goals behind and away at home to win Millwall two?


    Sorry, not to mention that Millwall is now in full swing. Millwall Club has never lost two or more goals to its opponents in the entire European War history.


    In the knockout, they only lost to Bayern Munich, and the score was 1:0 in 90 minutes.


    Lexac gritted his teeth: Bet, fight!


    Cruyvert''s role was not obvious in the second half, so he replaced Saviola with the Dutch center and wanted to use these technical players to create a threat.


    Seven minutes after he changed to Saviola, Millwall had an excellent direct free kick opportunity in front of the penalty area.


    In fact, when the fifth ball was dropped, Barcelona began to strengthen the aggressiveness of the defense in the backcourt, since conventional means can not stop Millwall''s attack, it must be fouled!


    if not?


    Pirlo stood in front of the ball. After the whistle of the referee, he played a deciduous ball stunt. The ball passed through the Barcelona wall and fell quickly in front of the goal line. Bonano flew to save the opportunity to touch To the ball, because the angle of the ball is not too tricky, but the ball suddenly fell, so that Bonano''s palm failed to completely block the ball, the ball touched under his palm, and then continued to fly into the goal.


    "6:3! Pirlo scored a free kick! Beautiful goal, the goal feast is not over, it is not over yet! Will there be a tenth goal? Will it?"


    Aldridge stood up and applauded while nodding with a smile.


    Rivaldo refracted into a long shot, Pirlo broke a free kick, and it was a return. Is there any luck? If it does, it''s fair.


    Aldridge came to the side for the first time in this game, he made a substitution adjustment.


    6:3, and the time has reached 80 minutes.


    "Millwall substitution, two players at a time, Larsson was replaced by Pedretti, Pirlo was replaced by Alonso, it seems that Hall is very satisfied with the current score, to control the pace of the game , Strengthen the defense and no longer give Barcelona any chance to shorten the score gap."


    When Rexacci saw Millwall''s substitution adjustment, the whole face was green!

 Chapter 765： Pointless goal

    No one will completely negate the whole game because of Millwall''s conservativeness in the last 10 minutes of home game. They took the initiative to attack the scene and attitude of the offensive football, not to mention the score is 6:3.


    Millwall closed, not only to reach the watershed stage of physical fitness, but also this score, the leading advantage is very ideal.


    Rexach has been directing the team to attack offensively!


    The game did not end, but Millwall began to strengthen the defense, which obviously makes Barcelona''s offense more difficult.


    Not to mention one more Pedretti''s backcourt sweep, Alonso''s replacement for Pirlo also obviously can provide more help to the defense, plus Millwall no longer plays in a pressured offensive posture. Their formation retreated, and the three lines were closely linked, which made Barcelona even more desperate.


    Rexach irritated Aldridge uncontrollably: Shameless! Utilitarian!


    Yes, in his opinion, the 80-minute counterattack is still inexhaustible. Now that Millwall is leading, Aldridge will be recruited with gold, which is too kind!


    Even if he is angry, he can''t control the situation on the court. He can let Barcelona continue to attack, but he can''t let Millwall change his posture.


    Within 3 minutes after Millwall''s substitutions were adjusted, Barcelona''s offensive advancement did not advance to the front line, Millwall was patiently playing the positional battle, Barcelona became more and more anxious, and the gap behind the three goals was too large. , They want to advance, it really depends on the miracle!


    Now that he has reached this point, Rexacci has no choice but to order the Barcelona army to push it up. Barcelona, ??who is under pressure, tries to launch the final impact, even if it can score another goal and shorten it to the gap between the two goals, the result is better than It''s better now.


    But after they pressed it up, the backcourt was empty, and their positional battles had no effect. Instead, the back lines frequently became urgent.


    In the 87th minute, Alonso sent a commendable long pass from the center and backcourt, Ronaldinho hit from the side, the opposing defender assisted, and now only the center defender is responsible for defending the large backcourt space .


    Ronaldinho took the ball on the sideline in the frontcourt and then went to the opponent''s penalty area. Alberado came to intercept halfway. Ronaldinho stopped the ball and rushed past the opponent before continuing to speed up.


    The fans in the stands were all excited, but they all also saw that Ronaldinho could not support himself.


    After the second start of acceleration, the control effect of the trip was significantly reduced. When he first entered the line of the restricted area, Ronaldinho broke through De Bore with a human ball, and the boiling voice on the scene infected everyone.


    Will it be a wonderful goal again?


    Bonano abandoned the goal, Ronaldinho dribbling laterally near the penalty spot, throwing away Bonano and creating an angle to hit the empty goal.


    Aldrich and the other coaches stood up and were ready to celebrate Ronaldinho''s goal, but Ronaldinho hit the door at the last but gave all the audience a thunderbolt!


    The ball trajectory is a straight line, and the goal post is wiped out of the bottom line...


    After Ronaldinho shot, the whole person fell into the penalty area. He was not injured, but simply exhausted!


    His chest fluctuated violently, and Ronaldinho covered his face as if he was ashamed of such a result. However, he heard the high-pitched singing of fanatic lions echoed in the Lion King Stadium, which was praising his own song.


    After the huge sigh of the stadium, no one in the stands blamed Ronaldinho for wasting this golden opportunity. This opportunity was created by him. The game is nearing the end. He played this game again, and his physical strength is normal. The opportunity just now seems to be easy to score, but for players who are exhausted of physical fitness, the key to grasping the technical action is that it is not uncommon to make mistakes.


    Henry pulled Ronaldinho off the ground and comforted him: "It''s okay, just a small mistake. Look, our fans are supporting you with singing."


    Ronaldinho smiled, then ran back with Henry.


    Aldrich was happy for a game, but he was not worried, but two minutes later, Henry went to the meeting alone, facing the goalkeeper Bonano, Henry chose the hanging door, the ball was slightly higher than the beam, and hit the top of the net. .


    Henry, who stood with his hands on his hips outside the big penalty area, felt incredible. He felt that his footwork was well grasped. The goalkeeper had no chance to save the goal.


    Ronaldinho ran across him with a smile, patting his shoulder, pretending to be serious: "It''s okay, just a small mistake."


    Henry watched Ronaldinho run away two steps and laughed out loud. He could only touch his head with a wry smile.


    The game entered the end of the countdown. Aldridge stood on the sideline and used the last substitutions. Rexacci looked very green. Barcelona¡¯s last mad attack had no effect. After replacing Kluivert, he needed strong power at the last moment. At center, Barcelona lacked such a role.


    "The referee blew the whistle at the end of the match. In the first round of the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season, Millwall defeated the Spanish giants Barcelona 6-3 at home. Perhaps this score is very much in the eyes of people who have not seen the game. Exaggerated, but if you are a live fan, and the audience in front of the TV, you will definitely think that this score may be conservative. In fact, only the last 5 minutes, Millwall has two opportunities to continue to expand the score, but unfortunately Rona In the face of the empty goal, El Dinho missed the door. Henry had to say that Barcelona only lost 3 goals. It is very lucky that the 6:3 score will also change the suspense of the second round. It¡¯s weak, but as long as the two sides are fighting against each other, no one can guarantee what will happen in the next round, and after seeing today¡¯s game, who wants to miss the next match between the two teams?"


    At the end of the game, when the whistle sounded, the Lion King Stadium applauded with thunderous cheers and sharp whistles.


    On the stand of the visiting team, some Barcelona fans were stunned and came across for thousands of miles, and they witnessed a wonderful game, but the final score made them feel tingling in their hearts.


    The home team fans were addicted, 9 goals, 6 goals scored by themselves, exciting moments, countless exciting scenes, even Ronaldinho and Henry failed to grasp the opportunity to break the goal at the last minute, in their view, these goals The wonderful part of the feast, of course, it is wonderful to be able to get the ball to the goal.


    From beginning to end, except for the 80-minute substitution adjustment, Aldridge is almost a sideline spectator. He also doesn''t care. It''s not that he doesn''t want to use the coach''s on-the-spot command ability, but there is no opponent.


    Rexacci didn''t create any difficulty that made him feel threatened. The whole game was very simple in nature.


    Barcelona insisted on ignoring Millwall, taking the initiative to attack and play their own football.


    For the giants, 80% of the games can be like this, but today, in the face of Millwall, Barcelona still plays like this, the reality is that they have no such confidence, they can ignore Millwall.


    Since the other party chose to ignore them, Aldridge also ignored them. Millwall is also playing their usual style. No special targeted adjustments are required. Everyone plays their own way. You kick yours, I kick me, and finish in 90 minutes. , Look up at the scoreboard, I am happy, you are not happy, it has nothing to do with me.


    Shaking hands with Rexach after the game, the opponent obviously didn''t have much to say. After shaking hands, he left the field, Aldridge walked into the field, celebrated the result with a high-five hug from each player, and finally hugged Ronaldinho players The passage went.


    "What''s the matter with you today? Hmm? Tell me clearly, play heartbeat, right? Look at the ball you scored, don''t tell me that you deliberately, volley volley can kick out the hanging door effect, go back to the training ground Kick me a hundred times and try."


    Aldridge was obviously joking with Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho said with a smile: "I expected it to be able to kick the effect like Pavel''s strong long-range shot, it must have burst out! Maybe there was a gust of wind blowing at the time, the ball There was a slight deviation in the trajectory before it was played like that, and the final single-handed ball must also be!


    "It''s a fart! In the end, you just don''t have any energy. After pulling the ball horizontally, the ball runs fast. You can''t keep up, barely raise your foot, and don''t control the angle. In this way, I haven''t played, but you don''t want to cover me !"


    Aldridge raised his finger and shook it in front of him. Rothschild said after a moment: "Boss, if every opponent is like Barcelona, ??how nice."


    "Well, I hope every opponent is like them, that''s fine."


    Aldridge nodded with a smile.


    Coming to the post-match press conference, Aldridge sat down to drink a sip and waited for reporters to ask questions.


    This exciting game also made the media extremely exciting. Generally speaking, the first round of the knockout game tends to be conservative. There is a clear contrast between the first 90 minutes and the last 90 minutes. After all, there are few teams until the end. Will give it a go.


    "Milwall lost three goals today and Barcelona scored three away goals. Will it affect the second round?"


    After thinking about it, Aldridge said: "The impact must be there, but I think it can be ignored. We scored 6 goals for the opponent. In the second round, we will still aim for goals. I don¡¯t think there are teams that can The goal difference for Millwall is 3 goals or more. Of course, it is not ruled out that Millwall is taken lightly and the enemy is reversed by the opponent. This is where we need to pay attention in the next round."


    "Milwall has rarely had three goals in a single game. Why did it appear today?"


    "Because Barcelona is very strong, look at the names of their offensive players, which represents the offensive strength, no team can not concede a goal, we are also the same, I am not obsessed with scoring a few goals against the opponent, or not let the opponent score goals, we It will only move towards victory, and on this basis, try to do the best offense and defense as possible."


    Aldridge answered questions from some Fleet Street reporters. The British media are more concerned about Millwall¡¯s goal loss, but it is not surprising that they can score 6 goals in Barcelona. They have better luck. Maybe it¡¯s a record-breaking massacre. .


    The Spanish media was a little quiet. At the end, someone asked, "Mr. Hall, how do you evaluate Barcelona''s technical and tactical performance today?"


    "Very good, very high quality, can score Millwall 3 goals, not any team can do it, Barcelona showed courage on the court, coach Rexach fulfilled his promise, in the Lion King The goal was scored and Barcelona did it! They performed very well and were admirable."


    Aldrich always likes to compliment his opponents. They are the same before and after the game. The more they hold the opponents higher, the more precious the victory after defeating them.


    But what he said today fell into the ears of Spanish media reporters, which was a harsh mocking.


    Yes, Barcelona scored goals away, and there are quite a few, 3!


    But who would think these three goals are extremely precious?


    If it is 4:3, 5:3, it may all seem very meaningful.


    But the score is 6:3, the huge gap between the three goals, Barcelona''s away goals, almost become meaningless.

 Chapter 766： Battle of the Camp Nou

    "Crazy Lion advances to the semifinals of the Champions League!"


    "Defending champion domineering!"


    "Mad Lion defeats the Catalan giant!"


    ...


    Millwall declared a defending ambition with a score of 6:3. While other games were still full of suspense in the remaining 90 minutes, Millwall was promoted by the media and had advanced to the semifinals.


    At the same time, after reviewing the game, the critics thought that Barcelona lost very superficially.


    The reporter wrote a report on the war and wrote that Barcelona was full of courage at the Lion King Stadium and tragically lost the qualification for promotion.


    But in the eyes of the ball critics, Barcelona is not even clear what level the team is Millwall!


    The press conference announced that Bayern Munich had lost the match in a double match against Millwall.


    However, ball critics in turn use Bayern Munich to compare with Barcelona, ??but instead think that Bayern Munich lose more meaningfully.


    The reason is, can Bayern Munich not attack as bravely as Barcelona? Yes, absolutely!


    Hessfield knew that, regardless of whether to let go, without thinking about Millwall''s advantages, without targeting restrictions, Bayern Munich kicked out his own style and fought "courageously", then after 90 minutes, Bayern Munich should also be able to achieve Score goals, but the probability of losing the game may exceed 70%!


    Only when people are used to seeing Millwall suppressing their opponents and suddenly discover that Barcelona is bravely fighting Millwall, will they appreciate this spirit.


    If you turn back time for two years, you will find that it is because Millwall''s offensive firepower is too strong, forcing the opponent to have to rack his brain to limit the mad lion and have to take the defensive counterattack routine, which weakens the self-centered Game attitude, playing against Millwall? Many strong teams did this two years ago. Then what? The whole army was annihilated and played against Millwall. The key point was not whether they could break through Millwall''s gate, but the fact that such a counterattack would have a very high probability of losing the game!


    Because Millwall has to fight all opponents to strengthen defense, it is only later that people are used to seeing more than 95% of Millwall''s games to suppress opponents.


    Is Barcelona brave?


    In the eyes of golf critics, it is ridiculous to think that it is brave. Barcelona just felt the taste of failure after the attack, and did not even give Millwall any trouble.


    Millwall played Bayern Munich, and Aldridge continued to adjust on the spot, playing Barcelona. Except for the final substitution, Millwall almost didn''t even change the rhythm on the court.


    This game is very simple. You come and go when it comes to offensive football. You enter one. I enter one. At the end of 90 minutes, Millwall takes away the victory. It''s that simple.


    In the quarter-finals of the FA Cup this weekend, Aldridge sent on the bench and continued to train Ronaldo and Kaka, the wild lion geminis promoted by the outside world.


    At Lion King Stadium, Millwall''s team was full of energy, and the full-bodied bench lineup launched a full-field sawing offensive and defensive battle with Newcastle United. The scene was extremely exciting.


    Millwall, who is not the main force, naturally has no strong game dominance. Newcastle United coach Robson also knows this, and he launched a counterattack with Millwall. He dare not say that it is absolutely correct, but he can fight with Millwall anyway. It''s half a catty.


    Newcastle United under Robson''s team has a good fighting ability this season. Both sides offensive and defensive sawing, but not many goals, when the game is 90 minutes fast, the score is 1:1.


    Seeing that there might be a rematch on another day, Aldridge gambled and replaced a striker, then used a long pass to find the last chance.


    He bet on winning, almost at the last second, Millwall created a Newcastle United melee, Alonso found a shot in the penalty area to send the ball into the other goal, the whole Lion King stadium was boiling!


    Seeing the team countdown to Newcastle United on the sidelines, Aldridge jumped with excitement.


    Robson sighed and felt discouraged.


    Probably really old, there is no risk-taking spirit of young people.


    He actually didn¡¯t expect Millwall¡¯s backup lineup to grow so fast, that the not-so-famous players, in fact, formed a team that already had the strength of the Premier League midstream team, plus home battle, Newcastle United They are comparable.


    The coach wanted to drag on and consume Millwall. The more he waited until the end of the game, the better time for the final effort. However, Millwall had no signs of slack and the overall formation was not flawed. The coach was hesitant. With this hesitation, Millwall moved instead, and Audridge''s risky gambling withdrew a midfielder and added a forward. As a result, Newcastle United was killed.


    After the game, Aldridge and Robson spoke on the sidelines.


    "Aldrich, every time I see you, I feel older."


    Aldridge was speechless: you are almost 70, can you not be old?


    Compared with Robson''s emotions, Audridge didn''t feel much. After all, at Robson''s age, it was normal to feel more emotions.


    After the FA Cup promotion, the Millwall League was ten in a row, concentrating on entering the track of the cup competition. The young players in the bench were training more seriously and actively. They had few games left. The league may have two or three games. , And then the semi-finals of the FA Cup, the opponent is the rival Chelsea.


    This season is the time when this group of bench players began to gradually get rid of the shadow of training, and really contributed to the honor of Millwall. Some players have also been recognized by the outside world, such as Metzelder and Alonso, which are considered famous this season. The promotion is huge. The new Kaka itself became famous for its genius terms when it arrived. Now it is free from doubts from the outside world, and its fame should not be greatly improved.


    In early April, Millwall returned to Barcelona. In the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Millwall''s team was full of enthusiasm. The players are now pursuing not only the result, but also enjoying the game. The last round was with Barcelona. They were very excited to fight, the opponents were of a high level, and they would not be strangled madly in the game, they could play as much as possible. Therefore, in the second round of the match, Millwall players have no problem with the fighting intention.


    After Barcelona''s fiasco in the last round, Catalonia was shrouded in a haze. Head coach Rexacci confessed to playing Barcelona''s offensive football style before the game, which was praised by the Spanish media and waited until the game was over. Later, the media again criticized him for ignoring his opponent''s offensive strength, and now his life is not so good.


    I don¡¯t know if the score of 6:3 can make him wake up. Aldridge looked forward to it for two days, and then gave up his expectations because Barcelona did not retreat. At home, he had to swear to death. The 180-minute game was a fiasco in the first 90 minutes. After 90 minutes of passive, it is unimaginable. How will Lex Sach study this time and how to limit Millwall''s layout?


    Before the game started, the Catalan media declared that it was a game for Barcelona to defend its honor and dignity!


    Aldridge looked through the Spanish newspaper on the morning of the game, and was suddenly happy.


    Whenever the media plays such a title, it basically means that there is no expectation for the home team.


    3 ball reversal Millwall?


    No matter how proud Barcelona is, I dare not dare to say it before the game, and even the strongest dream division in their history, I am afraid that there is no such confidence. Moreover, at this time, Barcelona is at home or in Europe. , Can only be considered a strong team, without any dominance.


    A few years later, when he came to Camp Nou again, Aldridge felt very much.


    The last time I came here, I was a little unhappy with Van Gaal. There was no way. The other side was a little crazy. He didn''t provoke him, but he was degraded. He taught the other side on the court and there was no intersection.


    Today, look at the atmosphere of the stadium in Barcelona, ??full of a tragic atmosphere.


    "Barca, Barca..."


    This slogan-style team song echoed in the Camp Nou. After a long time, the fans and the team stood together. They really wanted to fight a desperate counterattack!


    Aldridge was sitting on the coach''s bench, wondering when Millwall was in trouble, could there be 100,000 fans who would unwaveringly support the team at the Lion King Stadium?


    Undeniably, this represents the details of a club, but now Millwall cannot detect this.


    "The second round of the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season, Barcelona and Millwall''s confrontation started at the Camp Nou, and now the guest defending champion Millwall has a total score of 6:3, and Barcelona wants to advance to the semifinals. Today first To win at least 3 goals against each other, if the total score is a tie, it depends on whether Millwall can score 3 goals or more on the road today. If Barcelona can return Millwall a 6:3, then the total score will be A jaw-dropping 9:9, and then, the two sides play overtime, I think the probability of this situation should be minimal. There is no difference between the two sides starting and the game a week ago, Barcelona starting..."


    Aldridge''s expression is serious, and his eyes are on the field. Barcelona''s starting lineup is exactly the same as the last match, and Millwall is the same. He wants to see if Barcelona will keep a back hand in the game.


    A little disappointed, the mentality became relaxed.


    Barcelona is still the same, and it is stronger than the last offensive desire, the backcourt players frequently plug in the offense.


    Millwall is mainly anti-guest or oppressing opponents. In this way, the two sides have become the focus in the midfield confrontation.


    Milwall itself has stronger control of the midfield, and Barcelona is relying on the backcourt to fight against it, but as long as Millwall finds space, it is easier to penetrate the opponent''s backline than the previous game.


    In the away game, Millwall needs a certain amount of time to enter the game. After the opening, the defense line is first stabilized. The offense will not be over-invested. After the team''s rhythm is consistent, it will start to exert force.


    In the 18th minute, Nedv¨§d sent a diagonal pass from the frontcourt. Larsson swept the ball down the middle of the wing. Henry snatched the ball before the deport and sent the ball into the goal of Barcelona. in.


    Camp Nou died instantly.


    Aldridge smiled and raised his left hand, Klinsmann and Jenson gave him a hard blow.


    "Millwall advanced the ball away! Can Barcelona withstand? Can it? Maybe the British newspaper''s prediction is correct: If Barcelona wants to reverse Millwall, first of all, it is necessary to think about how not to lose the ball, if only thinking about how to break The door of Millwall, then the Battle of Camp Nou will be completely different from what they expected!"


    Lex Satchie covered his head, sweating all over his body!

 Chapter 767： Winning the championship

    Camp Nou was silent.


    The voice shouting "Barca" disappeared.


    Only 20 minutes later, the fans of Barcelona began to extinguish the hope that the team would reverse Millwall.


    In the stands, sat a famous Barcelona and godfather, Cruyff.


    Now Barcelona, ??it is hard to say that he is the ideal Barcelona. The style of transmission and control is impossible to talk about. Looking at the player configuration and characteristics, you know that the style of this team is definitely not the ideal transmission and control tactics. .


    Rivaldo, Ovimas, these are the players who emphasize the ability of individual soldiers, and the characteristics of the midfield Koko and Roshenback, how do you expect them to build a strong midfield advantage through transmission and control, Then can you stay in touch with the striker to provide strong support?


    In Cruyff''s eyes, Millwall has a golden combination midfield configuration.


    Gattuso is the main defense, Nedved is the main attack, Pirlo scheduling organization, what a clear division of labor!


    With Pirlo as the center, defensive protection in the back, and offensive cover in the front, he is the heart, commander, and brain of Millwall''s overall skills and tactics!


    At this stage in Barcelona, ??in fact, a similar organizational core has appeared, but because the young man, the coach dare not use it. To put it bluntly, I think the risk is too great!


    Harvey is already in the first team, a teenager who was promoted before Van Gaal left, saying that he is young and he is also 22 years old. Compared with Pirlo, is his youth an unbelievable excuse?


    Cruyff shook his head and said that Pirlo''s growth was cultivated by Aldridge in one hand. He has no doubt that if Aldridge is the coach of Barcelona, ??players like Harvey, maybe two years, three years ago It''s already up!


    Although the current Barcelona coach Rexacci was once his assistant, but it is not his puppet, Cruyff can not let Rexacci completely listen to him.


    Judging from the performance of these two games and the league, Rexach''s life in Barcelona is coming to an end.


    Cruyff watched the game for another 5 minutes, and then left the seat disappointed early, without even finishing the first half.


    Because Barcelona counseled, withdrew at home to defend.


    After Rexacci''s first goal conceded, the whole person was in a panic.


    Losing 3:6 on the road is already a nightmare. If he loses another big score at home, he can¡¯t imagine how much the anger of Barcelona fans will burn.


    No matter how he calmed down before the game and encouraged the team to fight for a reversal at home, when Barcelona lost the ball first, he knew that the reversal could not happen. Even now, a bigger crisis is before him: Camp Nou Will fall!


    Must defend, can''t let Millwall score anymore!


    At this time, Lex Sachs had no gods, and he did not dare to hope to reverse his opponent. He could maintain a draw at home and symbolically retain his dignity. This is his biggest hope now.


    However, things did not work!


    He suddenly let Barcelona take back to defend, and the players on the field were at a loss. This is not only different from the preparation and the head coach''s emphasis, but also the ultimate opposition!


    I have been studying how to attack when preparing for the battle. Before the game, the dressing room also made a big statement and we can reverse the opponent.


    Didn''t the game even reach 30 minutes, then began to deny yourself?


    Barcelona has some inconsistent pace on the court, some want to attack, some want to defend, especially the back line, the second game has not finished yet, Millwall has scored the seventh goal, as a defensive player, this is no longer a face The question of whether it can hold up, after the last confrontation, the criticism and accusation they received was simply a shame!


    As a result, there was a disconnection between the front and back formations on Barcelona!


    Aldrich saw the Barcelona front stretched, the three lines could not be closely combined, and immediately guessed that the other party collapsed!


    Will Millwall miss this opportunity?


    Pirlo firmly controlled the initiative in the midfield, he also felt relaxed, because Barcelona''s striker is not involved in defense, he has almost no pressure behind him at first, he is not worried about being counter-robbed, he can focus on his offensive talent.


    In the 32nd minute, Pirlo started the forward offensive from the midfield.


    Pass the ball to Schneider, the opponent takes a step forward and then passes the ball back to Pirlo running forward.


    Ronaldinho passed on again, and then passed back to him after two steps, Nedved, Larson.


    When Larson passed the ball back to Pirlo, Pirlo had already moved all the way to the restricted area of ??Barcelona, ??and formed a single-shot trend.


    In the face of goalkeeper Bonano, Pirlo shot the dead end in an understatement, and staged a goal like Yangchun Snow!


    "2:0, Millwall leads Barcelona with a total score of 8:3. This goal is as beautiful as poetry. It is very ordinary to watch Pirlo break, but if we watch the entire offensive process, we can find that Pirlo is instigated. Attacking to break the goal, every pass of his foot, Millwall''s offense player''s running position, pass and cut with the fascinating, even Henry who has not touched the ball has played a good role in containing the defense on the front line. Pirlo''s technical action to deal with the ball is concise and clear. Before he touched the ball, he had already figured out how to play the ball without dragging the water. This is Millwall, which can play a violent and oppressive mad attack. Defeat opponents by pulling layers of cocoons."


    Pirlo and his teammates celebrated in Camp Nou, and Audridge saw the goal and jumped out, screaming wildly.


    The goal-scoring process is picturesque, and Audridge has no reason not to be excited.


    In a passionate April, Millwall is naturally aiming for the last peak in May.


    European powers, are you ready?


    Are you ready to tremble?


    Lexar''s brain was blank.


    Offense, lost the ball.


    Defensive, lost the ball.


    Malegobi, what should I do?


    Barcelona players were very frustrated. Seven days ago, they lost a 3:6 in London. Three days ago, they were tied at the home by the relegation team Las Palmas. The league title can be declared out, and now the home is 0:2. Behind, what team are they wearing?


    Barcelona!


    It is a goal champion, a team that aims to **** the honor at any time!


    Within a week, the two fronts fought over and it was normal for players to have negative emotions in their hearts!


    No player will join Barcelona without pursuing the championship!


    This is the level, status, posture and ambition of this team.


    Now reduced to this point, players on the court no matter what the head coach thinks on the sidelines.


    Facts have proved that in this 120-minute contest with Millwall, the head coach''s platoon formation and on-site command failed to lead the team to victory, and it is even getting worse now.


    The inspiring players on the team encourage the morale of the team and unify the whole team''s thinking: don''t think about the score, don''t think about promotion or out, at the Camp Nou, you must play Barcelona''s momentum, nothing else, just for the stands One hundred thousand fans wearing Barcelona jerseys!


    Barcelona players agreed after exchanges. After re-kick-off, they played their usual tactics. It just happened that Rexacci was completely the same. I don¡¯t know how to deal with the current situation. It can only let players play freely.


    At the same time, Barcelona has strengthened its defensive aggression, its movements are a bit large, and every fight is aggressive.


    In this way, Millwall has an tactical advantage, but in personal confrontation, Millwall has gradually fallen into the disadvantage.


    Aldrich discovered this naturally, but he didn''t make any adjustments. Even if Ronaldinho''s active avoidance situation appeared, he was still indifferent.


    Under normal circumstances, he certainly will not tolerate, but at this time, he can open one eye and close one eye.


    To put it bluntly, Barcelona is now barefoot, Millwall is wearing shoes.


    Can''t afford to fight with you!


    Why do you have a hard time with you?


    8:3.


    I''m five goals ahead of you.


    I''m going to play in the semi-finals and aim at the finals.


    You are bitten here by your mad dogs, what should I do?


    This is the mentality of the players at this time, so seeing Barcelona has been a bit too hard, Millwall simply took the initiative to take it back, balance it, and no longer play the oppressive attack.


    Aldridge also feels that the main player is injured at this time, which is not cost-effective, not at all cost-effective, even if he scores 10 more goals in Barcelona, ??he will lose money!


    So he can tolerate the players'' reduced awareness of confrontation, which is actually excessive self-protection!


    Barcelona''s fight is rewarding. Before the end of the first half, Cruyvet scored a header and rewritten the score 1:2.


    Rexacci finally recovered when he reached the half and found that Cruywitt scored a goal, thinking that Barcelona might play like this!


    So Barcelona played this way in the second half.


    Since the opponent did not play art and changed to a wild road, Aldridge did not pretend to be an elegant gentleman. As soon as the second half came up, Millwall played a counter-attack, no chance to counterattack, midfield control, anyway, as long as the scene looks like Millwall is not shrinking It''s enough to defend completely.


    Lex Sach scolded all eighteen generations of Audridge''s ancestors.


    Millwall stopped attacking again and turned into a surprise attack.


    In the 66th minute, Henry counter-offsided into the penalty area and was knocked down by De Boer from the back defense. Millwall scored a penalty. Larsson made a hit and the score was rewritten to 3:1. Millwall continued Two goals ahead.


    After this ball, Aldridge changed horses, the tridents were removed, Klose, Villa, Ramor went up and charged, and Nedved retreated to strengthen the defense.


    Ten minutes later, Ramall assisted Klose in the side pass and went to the next city. Nou Camp boos!


    Barcelona, ??who was so hot-eyed, regained another goal in the final minute of the match by Ovimas, but the situation was set.


    Barcelona fans couldn''t accept seeing the team experience another fiasco at home. The reversal announced before the game was really a minute of hope.


    In the stoppage time, Roshenbach rushed up and fouled Pirlo, causing Audric to scream at Rexxar in desperation.


    "If you lose, you lose! The game is about 1 minute of **** to end! What are your players doing? Can you score 5 goals in 1 minute? Don''t say this is the will to fight, his pedaling is a rogue behavior !"


    Rexach saw another side of Audridge. He always thought that the young handsome was elegant, gentle, and brave with the champion. Now, it looks almost the same as the leader of the street to find fault.


    Look, Millwall''s coaching staff is behind him, covered with frost and angry!


    Think about it too. If Pirlo is hurt, will Millwall win or lose this game?

 ~： After playing the first round, basically announced that they have advanced to the semi-finals.

    Aldridge was in trouble. The Barcelona coaching staff did not accept the move. Rexxar turned around and took two steps. He didn''t want to clash with Aldridge.


    Fortunately, Pirlo is okay, otherwise Aldridge really feels that this game is not worth it. In the final sprint, many players of the team are indispensable, and Pirlo''s importance is definitely ranked in the top three in the team.


    "After 180 minutes of war, the Champions League quarter-finals came to an end. The defending champion Millwall and Barcelona ended with 6:3 in the first round and 4:2 in the second round. The total score, Milwaukee 10:5 defeated Barcelona to advance to the semi-finals, the second round of the game was far less exciting than the first round, but the home and away double-breaking La Liga giants, Millwall is worthy of the European top team, they have also unquestionably won the championship The biggest favorite, they should be most concerned about the results of tomorrow, which will determine their opponents in the semifinals. Perhaps, they do not care because no team seems to be able to beat them."

 Chapter 768： Opponents announced in the semifinals

    For more than ten years, the Hall family''s capital invested in East London, wholly or in partnership, has accumulated more than 2 billion pounds, providing more than 100,000 jobs. The number of families affected by radiation is countless. East London has a great reputation, and at the same time, it also has a good political capital for the Blaze Hall who followed Cameron''s mixed career: votes.


    Aldrich has long been one of the regular guests of the royal family to hold banquets. As for whether to attend, it is Aldrich¡¯s freedom. In short, Aldridge will inevitably receive invitations on national holidays, princes¡¯ birthdays, and queens¡¯ birthdays. Then a voice began to spread on the upper level of the royal family: the royal family was ready to lord the Aldridge!


    This is a suggestion from a member of the Prime Minister¡¯s Cabinet. The specific reason is not clear, but when cousin Blitz called to inform him, the reason vaguely mentioned in the words was: The influence of the Hall family is The two major parties in Britain are actively fighting for it.


    This incident caused Barnett''s attention and reflection. He suddenly discovered at this time that perhaps it was right to keep Audridge in the football circle!


    Because money can''t buy honor, it can''t buy the invisible influence of popular support.


    Why can well-known stars in many countries enter the political arena smoothly after retiring? This is the basic influence of the people. Although the governing party and playing football are absolutely two different things, they are not equal, but if the people vote, the public will not be absolutely rational.


    The Hall family has money, invests in England, and can buy people''s hearts. The Hall family has Aldridge to join the football circle. In Britain, the influence of this circle is greater than any field. The vast majority of people can not watch movies. Watch TV series, do not listen to songs, but must watch the game.


    The British knighthood is very biased, such as Shankly and Paisley. The Liverpool dynasty laid down is far more magnificent than Manchester United, but they only have the OBE rank, which is not enough to be the knighthood. Ferguson won the Champions League for the first time. Then he got the KBE rank higher than two ranks, and was knighted. Only the KBE or the highest rank GBE rank can use the title of SIR. (Note: Sir Alex Ferguson is controversial. There are two kinds of claims in the reference materials. Most of the popular sciences said that they were knighted by KBE, while others said that they were CBE honours. However, because of the common name of the popular public symmetry, there is SIR. Said.)


    Aldridge now has a knightly medal, the order is also OBE, not enough to be a knight.


    But in terms of influence and honour, public recognition, and the positive effect for British football, is it not comparable to Ferguson?


    Of course not, but this is the prejudice of the British royal family.


    In the absence of interest, the real powerful people will not be upset by Aldridge, and now that the Hall family has accumulated a certain degree of influence in the business and society, there are parties beginning to draw the Hall family , Requesting the lordship for Aldridge, throwing an olive branch.


    During this period, Aldridge did not want the outside world to focus his attention on him, so he informed Blitz that the lordship was temporarily postponed, and it was difficult to talk about it at this time.


    Aldrich doesn¡¯t care much about whether he has a knighthood or not. If the royal family gives it, he accepts it. If the royal family doesn¡¯t give it, it¡¯s okay. After Ferguson¡¯s knighthood, Aldridge doesn¡¯t feel that the other party has become special when he sees the other party. Or there is a blessing of buff on him, which is just an honor.


    Blaze told him that the tentative title will be the KBE order. It depends on the summer when he leads the England national team in the World Cup before making a final decision.


    That is to say, guaranteed, Aldridge will be awarded the Knight Commander¡¯s Medal this year. If the England World Cup diminishes in the World Cup in the summer and the public¡¯s support for him will definitely decline, then this title will not have room for improvement, but If the English national team can at least satisfy the nationals in the summer, Aldridge is likely to be awarded the Grand Cross at the highest level and be knighted by GBE!


    This will be the highest honor for people in the British football community, unprecedented.


    ...


    West London is a happy place for fans of red wine and green paper. East London can''t compare with it. When the night is getting thicker, Ronaldinho sits in front of a drum in a PUB in West London. He shakes his head with drumsticks and shakes his head to beat various parts of the drum. His friends accompany him, have fun, and indulge in it.


    Having lived here for more than five years, Ronaldinho has known a lot of friends, and he is also a common person in such places. Don¡¯t worry about security. The owner of PUB will do his best to ensure his safety. After all, Ronaldinho appears in Here, it can drive the popularity of PUB and be regarded as his VIP. Therefore, a good atmosphere is formed here, and no crazy fans will come to entangle. Other guests also keep a distance to watch Ronaldinho play with friends and worship him. The person will ask him to sign a name, take a picture together, or take a digital camera to record these pictures as they do now.


    At this time, the network is not as developed as ten years later. Otherwise, it is estimated that Ronaldinho''s private life will be broadcast live on the network simultaneously.


    Avant-garde and uniquely dressed Ronaldinho put down his drumsticks when he was tired, and went to the bar with friends for a drink. At this moment, one of his friends shouted at him: "Hey, Real Madrid reversed Bayern Munich at home. Millwall''s semifinal opponent will be Real Madrid!"


    Ronaldinho asked the bar guy for a glass of wine, then raised his glass and smiled: "This is good news. I prefer to go to Spain than to Germany. Guys, don¡¯t contact me in the second half of the month. I¡¯m free. Real Madrid, next month, I will go to Scotland, bye!"


    After drinking all the wine in the glass, Ronaldinho paid for it on the bar, and paid the friend''s drink, and then waved to everyone and left, signing with some people on the way out of the PUB, revealing A smile on the face.


    He had a bodyguard. In fact, it was not for the purpose of asking for a bodyguard, but for a driver. But later, considering that he would sometimes use a bodyguard, he simply asked for a bodyguard.


    Why should I ask the driver?


    Because he was driving in Brazil and caused some minor disputes, the driver¡¯s license was revoked, and he didn¡¯t want to take the time to take a driver¡¯s license in the UK. He knew that even if he got his driver¡¯s license, he might happen again soon. What should I do if I have been drunk and have been on the road for inspection?


    So he did not drive the luxury car he bought, but let the bodyguard and driver go.


    After getting in his car outside the PUB, the driver drove back to his new home outside of East London. He took out his phone and looked at it. Many teammates sent him a text message informing him that the opponent of Millwall in the Champions League semi-finals would be Real Madrid.


    Ronaldinho did not reply to the text message, just smiled.


    ...


    Yesterday morning, I returned to Barcelona from Barcelona. The team¡¯s main players are on holiday today. And because the opponents in the league are not strong this weekend, they will make the bench lineup play. Aldridge gives them half a day off.


    France, Bordeaux.


    In a winery, Schneider, Nedved, Larson, and their invited guests Shevchenko and Trezeguet, and the family of five men went together to play in the city. I haven¡¯t returned yet. The five of them are sitting on a comfortable sofa with more than ten kinds of precious red wine in front of the coffee table. They are not here to drink, but to taste wine, and watch the life and death of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich in Bernabeu. war.


    The wineries here, Schneider and others have invested year after year, and they dare not say how amazing the rate of return is, but after a few years, high-quality red wine, with storage value, has begun to rise. Anyway, it is definitely more than they put money in Banks have higher returns and appear to be less risky than investing in financial markets. Every year they are investing more. Now, in addition to their football revenue and advertising business income, the biggest investment is this winery, and it is worth a lot.


    Taste some red wine, finalize some new collections, and then they enjoy the game.


    "To be honest, I also hope that Real Madrid will advance to the semi-finals and play Bayern Munich. That''s enough!"


    Schneider said with a glass of wine smiling.


    Nedved and Larson smiled at each other. Before they started the game, they really worried that Real Madrid would not be able to advance. It¡¯s a strange psychological activity. Clearly playing Bayern Munich, Millwall¡¯s chances of winning are higher, but they just think Real Madrid should be touched!


    The strong are fearless!


    "I wish you farther."


    Shevchenko and Trezeguet felt a bit bitter at this time. Whether as a guest or as a former teammate or friend, their blessings came from the heart.


    In fact, Shevchenko would like to inquire about the rumors in the transfer market. Although Millwall has always denied the news of all players¡¯ transfers, in Italy, speculation about the future of players such as Pirlo has become very popular, and AC Milan has also come close. Rumors.


    However, considering the attitude of Nedved and others, Shevchenko dispelled this idea again.


    Schneider actually doesn''t care much about their teammates'' future choices.


    Stay, that is the teammate brother.


    Leave, then be friends.


    No matter who chooses to leave, they will not think that Millwall has lost anything.


    They follow Aldridge, they are loyal to Millwall, and no matter how many others, they only care if you contribute all of them while wearing a Millwall jersey!


    Transfer rumors, internal trends, of course Nedved they have long noticed that there are not too many secrets in the locker room, but they will not go to Pirlo, Zambrotta or others to talk about this, that will It becomes an interference, harassment, and affects the lives of others, and Pirlo¡¯s professionalism, in training, on the field, everything shown is impeccable, which is enough, even if they really leave, Schneider they will understand.


    "Where did Thierry go?"


    Trezeguet was curious about what Henry would do at this time.


    Schneider smiled: "Woman."


    "Wow, British?"


    "Well, in love."


    Henry did not watch the game at night, but watched a movie in London with his new girlfriend. When he came out of the cinema, he happened to receive a text message from his teammates and saw that Real Madrid had advanced to the semi-finals. Feeling shocked, he put the phone back in his pocket and took the girl''s hand to leave the cinema.


    There are so many surprises this season to go to Bernabeu.

 Chapter 769： The battle of the century is coming!

    Leave the players on holiday, but Aldridge worked overtime.


    At night, it was almost time for him to take a break. Ewen knocked on the door and pushed in. Half of his body leaned into the study room and asked, "Did you see the result of the match? Real Madrid beat Bayern Munich 2-0 at home, Advance to the semifinals."


    Aldridge lost his head slightly, glanced at the time at the bottom right of the computer screen, and realized that the game was over, he said, "No accident."


    "Aldrich, pay attention to time."


    "Well, I sorted out and finished my work and went back to my room to rest."


    Yi Wenwen Yan retreated.


    Aldrich''s desk is very messy, full of notebooks, tactical books, computers to check the latest information at any time, there is a TV two meters away, playing video tapes of the game at any time.


    However, when he sorted it out, he was organized. On a closed notebook page, a 343 formation position map was drawn, which marked the basic routine of the player''s running position, the route arrow of the offense and defense conversion system, and the top of the page, a Name of country: Brazil.


    That''s right, Aldrich''s preparations have already begun to study the Brazilian team, in fact this is only one of his research opponents.


    The advantage of having a prophetic memory is that his preparations have a certain purpose. He can not study Spain and Italy, but he will definitely study the Brazilian team. Even some of them will advance in memory and may encounter opponents in England.


    The three opponents in the group, the basic status information, have been studied and prepared in the past three months, and the rest is to follow up to see if there will be temporary changes before the World Cup, especially huge changes. For example, the main player is injured, forcing a change in tactics.


    The rest of the work is to study the opponents that may be encountered in the future. Such preparations may be in vain in the end, because the England team may go home in the group stage, but plan ahead, do or not do, and prepare. Without preparation, the old saying is very correct: the opportunity is reserved for those who are prepared.


    Perhaps 1000 preparations, only one handy, but Aldridge will still do these 1000 preparations to deal with, this is his working habit.


    After 5 minutes, the desk became neat and tidy, everything was in order, Aldridge in pajamas got up and left, just turned off the study light and came to the hallway, Yi Wen also came out of the bedroom in pajamas and handed him the phone, Say: "You have a phone."


    Aldridge took a look and it was Boas. He answered and said, "Good evening, Vilas, would you tell me that our semi-final opponent is Real Madrid?"


    "No, I think you already know the news. I want to tell you that David Beckham was injured. I don''t know if he will miss the World Cup. He was carried out on a stretcher."


    Aldrich thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Well, I see."


    "good night."


    "good night."


    After hanging up the phone, Aldridge held the phone and tapped it in his palm. He saw it according to the text and asked with concern: "What happened?"


    "Beckham was injured."


    Yiwen frowned: "National team?"


    "Yes, I don''t know if it will affect the World Cup in summer. You go back to bed first. I will call Ferguson later."


    "Well, don''t be too late."


    Aldridge smiled at her, then kissed her red lips and turned to walk to the balcony.


    Yue Langxing is scarce, Aldridge looks at the clock on the phone, it is estimated that it will take more than ten minutes to get through Ferguson¡¯s phone, the dressing room after the game, interviews and the like will take some time, plus Beckham¡¯s injury, it may be necessary Longer than usual.


    He had forgotten that Beckham did miss the World Cup this year and was injured in the Champions League game against A Coru?a.


    His injury caused the attention of the whole of Britain, and even the queen will ask before the World Cup: Is David''s injury better?


    It is undeniable that Beckham''s importance, even in Aldridge''s tactical system, Beckham''s ability to instigate a long pass offensive in the backcourt is also very important. It is accurate to make a long pass like him and the wing strategy should threaten huge players There are really few in the England national team, and it cannot be compared with other top players in the world. Within the scope of England, Beckham is definitely a character that no one can replace.


    If he can''t participate in the World Cup, Aldridge may have to change his tactics, because the substitutions will go up and the effect will definitely not be the same.


    However, Aldridge is not particularly worried. Beckham recovered in the original history and participated in the World Cup. He is only doing what he should do as the national team coach.


    Later, Aldridge called Ferguson''s call.


    "Alex, I already know about David. It¡¯s not early, long story short does not disturb you to go home and rest, as long as Manchester United determines that his injury will no longer have any impact on this season, the England National Team Medical Department will intervene. How about Beckham?"


    The other end of the phone was silent for a long time.


    It is estimated that Ferguson is considering.


    How important is Beckham to Manchester United?


    To put it bluntly, Manchester United are the most representative of the British traditional 442 team today. They do not have the European standard player No. 10, but instead fly on both wings. The combination of side and side has played an extreme tactical system. Under such a background , Beckham, Giggs, this effect on the Golden Wings is not the 10th, but it is comparable to the 10th, look at their assists, the number of goals participated, you know their role and contribution.


    Such a key player injury is a loss to the club, but it must be kept secret internally!


    In other words, if the outside world does not know whether Beckham is seriously injured and how long it takes to heal, then Manchester United''s opponents do not know!


    If Beckham¡¯s injury, Manchester United¡¯s team doctor determines that Beckham can recover from the injury before the end of the season, Manchester United can be caught off guard by Beckham¡¯s return game, because it will disrupt the opponent¡¯s pre-game plan, maybe there are not many leagues. The key battle is over, but Manchester United are now in the semifinals of the Champions League!


    So Aldridge said that.


    If Beckham is diagnosed for reimbursement this season, there is no need to keep it secret, and the National Team Medical Department can intervene. If Manchester United determines that Beckham can still appear in the rest of the season, the National Team Medical Department can stand by because of the small Beyond will make a comeback at the club and he will definitely not miss the World Cup.


    "David has been sent to the hospital. We are waiting for the news. The situation may not be very optimistic. However, Aldrich, I understand your position. I promise you that we will be open about David¡¯s injury this time. But only between us."


    Ferguson and Aldridge have been fighting for 7 years. During these 7 years, any fights on and off the court, except for the Stam event, are kept within certain rules. This pair of dead enemies respect each other. At this time, Ferguson could refuse Aldridge, but he gave the promise for the first time.


    "Well, okay, I''m waiting for your news."


    Hang up the phone, Aldridge turned off the phone, and then returned to the bedroom to rest.


    The next day, football news began spreading to the world like an atomic bomb!


    "The Battle of the Century will be staged again!"


    "The most luxurious match, five Mr. Golden Ball will compete together! Why not the final?"


    "Millwall vs Real Madrid, defending champions and La Liga giants!"


    "After Barcelona, ??Real Madrid defends the dignity of Spanish football!"


    "Beckham was seriously injured! The strength of the Three Lions is greatly reduced!"


    "Argentine conspiracy! Why not let Beckham go?"


    "The UEFA Champions League semi-finals, the Premier League once again swept three seats!"


    ...


    The Champions League semi-finals are released.


    Millwall and Real Madrid advanced to the semi-finals in the same half and will start two life-and-death battles to obtain tickets to the final in Glasgow.


    At the same time, after the two semi-finals were determined, it has aroused widespread concern in Europe and the world.


    Larson, Nedved, Henry, Figo, Zidane.


    The five Mr. Golden Globes in the past five years will compete together.


    Raul, Pirlo, Ronaldinho, Carlos, etc., among the top famous players in the Golden Ball nominations, joined the battle.


    One can imagine how many people will attract the attention of these two semifinals.


    Undoubtedly, this will be the most expensive competition in contemporary football, the fight between the most heavyweight stars!


    With such factors, it is not difficult to understand why Millwall players were so excited and excited after they knew that Real Madrid had advanced to the semifinals!


    Such a game is more important and worth looking forward to than the normal Champions League.


    In the other half, the English Civil War will be staged, the Red Derby!


    Manchester United eliminated A Coruna to advance to the semi-finals, Liverpool eliminated Leverkusen (the lack of players such as Schneider, Bout, Barack and so on, the strength has declined, so it was eliminated.).


    The Premier League continued to perform strongly in the Champions League with an overwhelming advantage this season after taking the top four in the last quarter.


    Millwall vs Real Madrid.


    Manchester United vs Liverpool.


    England fans are thrilled. If there is no injury to Beckham, in their view, the Champions League this season can already be called perfect. Of course, the Arsenal that fell out of the chain did not even break into the top eight, and everyone seems to be not. I was surprised that the seemingly gorgeous team in the Premier League has always been stumbling in the European War. It is an unconvincing sight.


    Beckham''s injury has caused widespread concern. He was fouled by an Argentine player, so under the media hype, the hatred between England and Argentina has intensified. The World Cup 4 years ago, the group stage to be held in summer, now let the small Bey was injured...


    Only one day later, Ferguson called Aldridge.


    "The England national team can take over the treatment of David, but it is necessary to notify Manchester United of his injury recovery in time."


    Beckham''s injury makes the Manchester United club very optimistic and has been diagnosed.


    Fracture of the second phalanx of the left foot.


    There is an old Chinese saying: a hundred days of injury.


    Fractured, and the foot of a football player, even with a discount, Beckham was able to return to the training ground in 50 days, but at that time, Manchester United''s season was over.


    Manchester United''s team doctor did not think that Beckham could come back before the end of the season, so he gave it to the England national team to treat his injury.


    Then again, how much is Beckham''s one foot, even the left one?


    It may exceed 30 million pounds, or even more.


    This is not linked to his competitive value, but a combination of commercial value. For example, his competitive value is definitely not as good as Zidane, but if Beckham retires tomorrow, Manchester United¡¯s loss will definitely exceed Zidane¡¯s transfer to Real Madrid. The money figure of that world record.


    Manchester United let them go, and Aldridge let the England national team medical team come to Millwall, waiting for Beckham''s arrival with the Millwall medical team, and set about preparing treatment and rehabilitation plans for Beckham.


    The medical department of Millwall itself is independent from the medical department of the England national team, but after Aldridge took over as the coach of the national team, the two had a cooperative relationship. No one manages, that is, cooperation, even if there is dispute To put it on hold for a while, Aldridge will not stay in this position anyway.

 Chapter 770： Beckham is coming

    On the weekend, Millwall will be a guest in the London Derby and challenge Fulham away.


    The pre-match press conference of the Premier League has nothing to do with the league.


    Fulham was described as a London upstart before the season, and Tigana was also high hopes to become the next "Winger", but Fulham reached the end of the season, just out of the relegation zone, the outside world has already been against Tigana and Fulham. The hype has lost interest, and they don¡¯t seem to have the slightest momentum of emerging forces, which is not much different from ordinary promotion.


    The reporters are more interested in the Champions League and Beckham¡¯s injury.


    "Millwall is the number one favourite to win the Champions League this season, Real Madrid is the second most popular, meet in the semi-finals, not in the finals, do you think this is okay? Will the most anticipated games be left to the end is the most perfect?"


    Aldridge shook his head with a smile and replied: "I don''t think so. For the strong teams, the longer the game time, the more they can play the advantage. Millwall and Real Madrid are top strong teams. If you give us a 90-minute game, no matter who wins and who loses, the side who lost the game is definitely not reconciled, but if you give us two games, one in London and one in Madrid, we can do our best. Give full play to my advantages. After two games, the winning side deserves its name, and the losing side has no excuses! In the semi-finals, the chance factor of the game will be minimized. I think this is the game that both parties want to get. basis."


    Aldrich¡¯s answer is fresh, and the reporters find it interesting in their ears, and it makes sense.


    The strong team and the weak team play, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, even 60 minutes, the game may be very tight, but give the strong team 90 minutes, 120 minutes, 150 minutes, 180 minutes, the gap between the strong and weak will be It is very obvious.


    "Millwall lost five goals in 180 minutes in two rounds against Barcelona. Will this be a hidden danger in the battle with Real Madrid? Real Madrid has the highest number of goals in La Liga! They have Zidane, Figo, Raul are very good players."


    "I think this kind of question is meaningless. Real Madrid does have a very strong offense, at least score more goals than Barcelona, ??but they also have more goals conceded than Barcelona, ??which means their defense is not as good as Barcelona. We played in 180 minutes. After scoring 10 goals in Barcelona, ??can it be said that Millwall can score more than 10 goals in Real Madrid? Of course, it is not possible to analyze and predict the game in this way, otherwise, Leeds United should now rank second in the league."


    Hahaha!


    A laugh sounded on the spot, the reason is simple, but generally no head coach would describe the game like this, but Aldridge said so, naturally reflecting his mentality about meeting semi-final with Real Madrid, relaxed and not nervous.


    "In Spain, the Spanish national derby between Real Madrid and Barcelona is known as the top contest. Now it has won the Champions League for two consecutive years. At the peak of Millwall, it represents you, the most powerful force in the development of modern football. , Will the match with Real Madrid exceed the Spanish national derby?"


    The reporter raised such a question.


    Aldridge still smiled and shook his head, saying: "The Spanish national derby has a long history, not every Spanish national derby is very exciting, and there are dull and boring matches. Millwall and Real Madrid are playing games, it must be a dream. In general, think about it. Five Mr. Golden Balls compete in the same field, and there are a large number of talented players. Regardless of the player''s value, public recognition, and ability, our confrontation with Real Madrid is the top. There are no other two in the contemporary era. The match between the teams can be comparable, but this may only guarantee the attractiveness and attention of the game. If the content of the game is unrestrained and passionate, then it will certainly guarantee the wonderful degree and enjoyment. But this does not mean that Millwall and Real Madrid''s game will surpass the Spanish national derby. The national derby is a game with another meaning. It is like Millwall and Newcastle United. The game between Tottenham and Tottenham will definitely be more exciting than Millwall against West Ham United. Good-looking, but the meaning of the East London Derby cannot be replaced, nor can it be surpassed. This is owned by a club. Other clubs cannot be replaced, nor can they be robbed. The national derby is even more so. If you want to see the most The exciting game, Millwall and Real Madrid will attract you, but you can never see the shadow of the Spanish national derby in the game. This is a very different kind of game."


    The reporters nodded, especially the Spanish media reporters who were sincerely convinced by the young handsome. In any case, in the football circle, Aldridge will not reverse black and white, it is the glory of others, it is others¡¯ glory, and it will not try to destroy these. .


    On the foreseeable level of excitement, the psychological desire of the public, the game between Millwall and Real Madrid must have surpassed the Spanish national derby, especially this season Barcelona and Real Madrid almost bid farewell to the league title, making the national derby exciting There has been a drop. People like to see the kings collide, see the fight between champions and champions, or between champion competitors. If there is no competitive meaning of "life and death", the attraction of the game itself will be decline.


    Now, Millwall and Real Madrid are on the road to the championship together on the club¡¯s top stage. They come from the fork and gather together. Only one team can finally set foot on the finals. That bright avenue.


    The topic of the Champions League is over. The outside world knows Audridge''s mentality about the prospects of the Champions League. From his only words, he can figure out the views of the Millwall team on the game.


    They have no worries in the league, the FA Cup has entered the semi-finals, the UEFA Champions League has entered the semi-finals, if necessary, the FA Cup can be discarded, and in addition they themselves are in the bench to attack the FA Cup, right The influence of the main force is not big. Now Millwall is in a state of being more excited when he is stronger.


    If you are not afraid of a strong opponent, you will be afraid of no opponent!


    The Fleet Street reporter''s face became heavy, and someone asked: "Manchester United star Beckham was seriously injured. Manchester United officials have announced that Beckham will be absent from all the remaining games of the season and have two months to go to the World Cup as England. Does the deputy captain of the national team, Beckham, hope to participate in the summer World Cup?"


    Aldridge also smiled and said in a deep voice: "It is still not possible to conclude that the player''s injury is bad news, but we will actively help Beckham and help him recover from the injury as soon as possible."


    "That is to say, he might miss the summer World Cup?"


    "This possibility cannot be ruled out. The England national team will wait for him at the last minute. He is an important member of us. The whole world knows his importance to England. Therefore, I hope that the outside world will try not to put pressure on him. I believe him It will actively cooperate with the treatment and strive to catch up with the World Cup in summer. This means something extraordinary for a player."


    "The Argentine player Duschel fouled Beckham and caused him injury. What do you think?"


    "Me? I didn''t go to the video, I don''t know what happened, but I think this should be an accident. Without the conspiracy theories written in the newspaper, I hope that everyone will look at what happened in a rational way. We don''t want to see Players are injured, but this seems unavoidable. Even if no one invades the players, the players may pull themselves. The injury is the most hated partner of the player¡¯s career. There will be no players in the world. The whole career is healthy. I still That view, looking at all of this rationally, investigating what happened cannot change reality, has a good attitude, and has a positive environment to face reality is the most important thing."


    "There is news that Beckham will come to Millwall for professional treatment, right?"


    "Oh, you are really well-informed, yes, he will come to our side, but it is my request. As the request of the national team coach, let him come here to receive the treatment of the national team medical team, so that I can understand him. Recovery of injuries."


    When a Manchester United star comes to Millwall, it will be a very sensitive topic. Aldridge does not want to give the outside world too much room for speculation or hype, so he is on his own.


    After the press conference, Aldridge came to the Leo training base.


    The outside world has learned that Beckham will come to Millwall for treatment, and the scene is more popular than Aldridge expected.


    There will always be reporters and fans outside the training base, but this evening, outside the main entrance of the training base, there are no crowds, fans, fans of Beckham, and it seems that Paparazzi on Fleet Street all came here.


    It wasn''t until 6 o''clock in the evening that a group of four cars drove into Leo Training Base. In addition to Beckham''s personal care team, his family, and two bodyguards...


    Waiting for the arrival of Beckham outside the door of the Aldridge Medical Department building, and waiting for the car to stop, the middle SUV pulled the door open. The first thing that caught his eye was Beckham''s wife. Victoria, who had dressed up specially, took the child off The car smiled and greeted Aldridge.


    "Hi Aldrich, I''ll trouble you this time, and then David will give it to you completely."


    After Victoria finished, he asked Beckham''s son to say hello to Aldridge.


    Aldrich asked, "Has your residence in London been done?"


    Victoria laughed: "David was born in the East End of London, and his life has been arranged properly."


    Aldrich nodded and asked no more. At this time, he happened to see Beckham coming out of the car with the help of a private doctor. He was crutching and his left foot could not touch the ground. It looked a bit miserable, but Beckham was small. Pui, this came to receive treatment, and they were all dressed up very cool. The star couple didn''t know if they would feel tired in this way of life.


    After two days, Beckham passed the initial psychological pressure stage of injury and illness, adjusted itself well, and clarified the next plan: actively cooperate with the treatment and strive to catch up with the World Cup!


    "Hi, coach, thank you for greeting me here."


    Beckham got out of the car and tried to shake hands with Aldridge. Aldridge smiled and shook his head: "It''s not too late, we don''t have to talk, go straight to the subject, come with me."


    When they came here, the people brought by Beckham did not have to follow. The couple and the personal care looked after Beckham, followed Aldridge into the building, and went to the third floor. Aldrich pushed an office Pointing to the doctor who was holding Beckham''s fracture film inside and said, "He is Dr. James and a member of our team of doctors. He is mainly responsible for injuries such as yours. He is an expert. Next, he will Will be specifically responsible for your treatment and recovery plan."


    Beckham''s expression is strange, he thought that the team doctor of the England national team was the main person in charge, but he did not expect to be Millwall''s team doctor.


    Although Millwall and the England national team have a medical relationship, but during the season or when the national team has a player injured, basically the player will still go back to the club for treatment. The national team is at best to provide recovery and conditioning. s help.


    Out of trust in Aldridge, Beckham did not ask questions on the spot, but solemnly walked to the doctor, shaking hands and greeting each other.

 Chapter 771： The most precious wealth

    More than seven years ago, Beckham came to Millwall on loan, but at that time, Millwall was poor and white, and the club infrastructure was "barren" at a glance. The Leo training base was built to perfect these years. Beckham has only been in the last year. Came here, as a member of the national team to prepare for training here, stayed for a short time, and only used the medical equipment here once, a simple medical examination, the core of Millwall Medical Department, he never touched.


    Today, under the leadership of Aldrich and Dr. James, the abducted Beckham truly saw the essence of Millwall Medical Department.


    In the independent building of the medical department, Aldrich introduced Beckham to their medical center. Beckham saw the vast space on the entire floor, clearly arranged with different sports equipment, beside the sports equipment, there was also medical equipment.


    "In the process of sports and fitness here, various data of the player¡¯s body will be included in the medical equipment at the same time. We will have a team of sports medical experts to organize this information to analyze the player¡¯s physical condition. After four or five years of improvement, we design A set of accurate software, which belongs to an early warning system, will remind us that players should take a break or alert when there is a risk of injury."


    Beckham was amazed. He always believed that Manchester United''s infrastructure is already the top in Europe, but when he came to Millwall, he discovered that it was really a small thing.


    "Then there is no need for team doctors. As long as the players regularly check and use computer software, they can reasonably control the player''s risk of injury."


    As soon as Beckham''s voice fell, Aldridge shook his head and denied, "No, the machine is dead, and the software is also designed by humans. This will definitely have loopholes, so we will not rely on the device. This information can only be used as a reference. The final decision is still in the hands of the medical expert team. They will exchange opinions and reduce the probability of equipment errors. This is also a continuous improvement process, so we do not intend to reduce investment in this regard and maintain a stable framework of 20 team doctors. And in the past few years, we have established a cooperative relationship with famous medical experts around the world. When we encounter difficult problems, we will use this platform to ask our partners for help. At the same time, the difficult injuries we find on athletes will also be used as cases. For partners, those doctors to analyze and research, they like this mode of cooperation, of course, a certain salary still has to be paid."


    In Beckham''s opinion, this floor should be the core of Millwall''s powerful medical center, but this is a ten-story building, and he asked curiously: "So what are the other floors?"


    "Most of them are workplaces. In addition to being checked here, the players have a floor for the work of the team of psychologists. David, you should have a deep understanding. In addition to the troubles in life, the injury itself will be A series of negative emotions can make players feel frustrated, and so on. A series of negative emotions will affect the player''s psychological state. Therefore, some players will be hit by serious injuries. Assistance for health and mental health."


    Xiaobei dumbfounded, and asked after a long time: "How much does it cost?"


    Not to mention the traditional medical investment, like the psychologist''s own charges, Millwall has a fixed team of psychologists. This part of the budget may be much higher than the total medical investment of other teams.


    After thinking about it, Aldridge said: "From the beginning of construction to today, it has invested more than 40 million pounds. If you do not consider expanding the scale and upgrading the technical expenses such as systems, the annual operating expenditure is about 3.5 million pounds. ."


    Beckham was obviously shocked. He only recently heard about Italy. AC Milan built a medical system for the club last month called the Milan Laboratory.


    According to Italian media reports, it is described as mysterious and full of sophisticated colors, but AC Milan only invested 5 million euros, which shocked Italy and was surprised.


    In contrast, Millwall¡¯s medical center started earlier. From the perspective of scale, accumulation of experience, and actual operation results, there is no doubt that Millwall is far more powerful than AC Milan¡¯s Milan laboratory. People are convinced, not to mention the cumulative investment of more than 40 million pounds!


    "David, Dr. James will talk to you about the schedule afterwards. You are going to settle in London today, and I won¡¯t bother you. Tomorrow I will take the team to play in London. I will come back early in the evening. When we eat together Supper."


    "Well, good, coach, thank you."


    Aldridge bid farewell to Beckham and Victoria to leave first.


    Beckham is very interested in this medical center. Even if the abduction is inconvenient, Dr. James will let him take him around.


    James was happy to be the guide. When he visited other floors, James smiled and said: "We have established partnerships with some Nordic medical laboratories and many teams in the NBA in the United States. Sports and medical care in the United States is very developed, and NBA players are often It was 2-3 games a week, and some of their experience was very helpful. Now we are still looking for a technically complementary cooperative way to serve players more comprehensively."


    Beckham lamented: "Millwall''s concern about player health and his sense of responsibility are shocking."


    "Of course, because players are our most valuable asset."


    Dr. James is proud of this. He is a sports medical professional and has a professional license. However, in the first few years of this industry, he was not easy to mix in England. It is very difficult to find a job. What is the hottest sport in the UK? Of course it¡¯s football, but football clubs recruit team doctors to be conservative. Compared to professional team doctors of other clubs, they may have to do some chores. In Millwall, doctors are very respected by internal colleagues because the team boss is very To value them, from top to bottom, has formed such an atmosphere.


    "If you want to come, you must be clear that Millwall is the most burdensome team in the Premier League game, but Millwall is the least injured in the Premier League. Especially in the past two seasons, the team''s health is very good. , In addition to our further improvement of the foundation brought by the medical center, it is also the positive effect that the players have brought under long-term reasonable and healthy care."


    Dr. James is quite proud that only healthy soldiers can exert their maximum fighting power on the battlefield. Millwall''s success is indispensable to the medical center.


    Beckham and Victoria glanced at each other, and Victoria sighed: "Aldridge is a man with vision."


    I didn''t think that before, but as time went by, the deeper I learned about Aldridge, and his family, the stronger the amazement at Aldridge.


    Only people with strong foresight can make the most cost-effective investment earlier.


    This point Beckham agrees very much. On the professional skills, Aldridge led the team''s style to lead the development of football. On the operation of the club, whether it is the initial smashing of iron loans to build a new stadium, or this investment in a huge medical center, this reflects Aldrich. The long-term side of the spectacle.


    Ten years ago, how much was a first-class star worth? The local price in England is around 3 million pounds. If you go to build a 40 million pounds medical center, people all over the world will think you are a fool and crazy!


    But now, the value of players and the club¡¯s most important asset is 10 times or even 20 times higher than that of that year. It will not be higher in the future. I don¡¯t know, but now look at the 40 million pounds of investment. Value for money.


    At the level of the Millwall Club, even if a player of 20 million pounds is introduced, the total price of a contract may be more than 10 million pounds. Then for this player alone, the club will have to spend more than 30 million pounds. The whole team What? The 40 million pound medical center is standard.


    But even now, in the top giants, it is estimated that no club will invest so much to build a medical system.


    Without him, other club owners, the board of directors, will certainly not agree to such a "luxury" actually "saving" investment.


    The next day, Aldridge led his team to challenge the farmer Fulham.


    Tigana¡¯s team is temporarily at a certain distance from the relegation zone, so the players are more relaxed. Millwall¡¯s main rest is here, and the bench comes to play. They are very hungry for the game. They know that there are fewer and fewer games left this season. Very strong.


    After nearly a season of running-in, Millwall''s central line of the backup lineup has a clear tacit understanding. Metzelder, Alonso, Kaka, Klose, relying on this central axis with a tacit understanding and certain strength The team''s third line is close, the team''s strength has a certain effect, plus the player''s personal strength, the overall strength of the bench lineup has also reached the top of the second-rate!


    After all, these players have almost the potential of first-class players. As long as the team has formed a tacit understanding, played a whole, and played well, even if they meet the team at the end of the first-class, they will have the power to fight.


    There is only a booby left in the London derby. No matter the players on the court or the fans in the stands, there is no slight atmosphere of derby.


    "At the end of the 90-minute game, Millwall reversed Fulham with Klose''s hat trick. 1:3, the defending champion Millwall scored three points in the away game!"


    Tigana and Audridge shook hands a little unnaturally after the game. The French coach came to England. At the top of the Premier League, Fulham also seems to have a shadow of technical flow, but obviously not Cheng Mo, said that he challenged Aldridge and could not even participate in the competition of the Premier League Second Group. The boss invested money not to want to see this situation, which made him feel embarrassed.


    When the farmer returned from the war and Aldridge came home, Yiwen had prepared a hearty meal at home. In the evening, the Beckham family came to visit his home and visited Aldridge''s house for the first time. This was an incredible feeling for the star couple.


    With Aldrich''s net worth, he can live in a top-class mansion, and the decoration of the home is not luxurious and high-end, simple in style, and more like a senior white-collar home.


    But the couple didn''t ask. Their children already knew that they could play together. The children got together to play together. The adults talked about the topics between the adults together, and the two parties were happy after a dinner.


    From this day on, Beckham started a rehabilitation program at Millwall Medical Center.

 Chapter 772： History is in the hands

    Sand¡¯s bar has long been a gathering place for Millwall¡¯s die-hard fans. In the early years, Aldridge would occasionally meet with friends here. A photo of Aldridge with the boss, employees, and friends was hanging on the wall of the bar. This is the attraction of this bar and the pride of Sand.


    Sander, who was middle-aged, wiped his glass in the afternoon. The bar was already full of guests, and everyone was waiting for the TV broadcast to start.


    "Hey Sander, if Millwall won today, how about you asking us each for a glass of wine?"


    Sander chuckled and said, "Today our opponent is Chelsea. Are you my fool? We won! If you are a man, every time Millwall scores a goal, you ask everyone to have a glass of wine and I will give you How about 30% off?"


    There was a roar in the bar, and the head pick was not too wordy. He took out a stack of money and pressed it under the wine glass in front of Sand. He smiled and said, "Look at your stinginess, I invite me, please, the mad lion scores a goal, I Please have a glass of wine. If Kaka scores a goal, I will ask for two glasses."


    "Huh? Do you like Kaka?"


    "It''s my daughter who likes him and can''t stand her. The bedroom is covered with photos of Kaka. By the way, you have such a good relationship with Audridge. Help me ask him for a signed photo of Kaka?"


    Sander smiled bitterly: "I don''t help with this busyness. It''s the most critical time of the season. I won''t trouble him."


    "After that season."


    "He is going to lead the team to the World Cup!"


    "Oh, why am I always forgetting this, haha, if you have a chance, please do me a favor."


    "Okay, I wrote down. Since you are so generous, I am not stingy. If you ask everyone for your wine, I will give you a 50% discount."


    Bang Bang Bang!


    The middle-aged man who paid for the money barked at the bar and said, "Look, how profitable Sander is!"


    Amidst the clamor of the crowd, Sander first collected the money under the cup in front of him.


    When the TV picture began to broadcast the game, the crowd in the bar sang the song of the self-composed song by Millwall fans. At least before the game, there will be a cheerful atmosphere in the bar. Then, as the game progresses, it will explode. Wave after wave of passion.


    Sander looked up at the picture on the ceiling TV. The camera locked Audridge, who was taking off his suit on the sidelines. His eyes were in a trance, as if he saw the kid sitting on his tape store and holding a notebook to analyze the video of the game. .


    Aldrich, fifteen years have passed. You let Millwall stand above the crowd, and countless people are proud...


    Vera Park Stadium.


    "Welcome to Villa Park, a game of the England FA Cup semi-finals this season is about to kick off here, and Millwall and Chelsea will compete for a ticket to the Millennium Stadium, not surprisingly, Millwall¡¯s main players are all sitting on the bench today. They will recuperate for the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals next week. Chelsea will do their best. Can Ranieri reverse Chelsea play? What about Millwall''s absolute disadvantage? Let us wait and see."


    Today the temperature was suddenly higher and the sunlight was dazzling. Aldridge came to the stadium and felt hot. He took off his suit. He stood on the sidelines and dressed in shirts, ties and trousers.


    Ranieri is obviously not as easy as Aldridge. Chelsea can hardly touch the Champions League next season. Now there is still the FA Cup left to fight for, of course.


    Aldrich claimed before the game that Millwall would try to balance the game as much as possible, making it impossible for Chelsea¡¯s experience to play out, while the striker Trident, Zola, Hasselbaink, Goodjohnson would not give In any of their chances, Millwall will limit Chelsea''s offense as much as possible before the penalty area.


    Ranieri expected that Audridge might play a defensive counterattack. After all, Millwall sent a bench to play.


    The atmosphere of confrontation in the stands has declined. Chelsea fans are really numb. Millwall is the seventh season of the Premier League this season. In the past seven seasons, the two teams have met almost 20 times in the league and cup games. Chelsea have never won a victory!


    In fact, this should not be too difficult to accept the record, in the eyes of non-Chelsea fans, of course.


    Just like in the original history, Ferguson took charge of the Red Devils. How many battle records have been set? Otherwise, where did the latecomer Moyes get a record of unbeaten N games in a season?


    Mo said Chelsea, a stronger team than them, may not have a good record against Millwall. Only in some cups or non-critical campaigns did Millwall get a bargain.


    Of course Chelsea fans are unacceptable. Not only is the stadium record bothering them now, but also the future of Chelsea. The club is heavily in debt. This is the life and death of the team.


    Aldrich was in a state of misfortune at this time.


    How much money was burned?


    Is it happy to spend money that is not yours?


    Many Serie A teams have experienced financial crises, and there are several top teams in England that have fallen into financial crises.


    No one is forcing you to borrow money, but it''s not great to borrow, and there is nothing to blame.


    Before the game, the smoke bombs were put. It was really in the game that Millwall surprised Ranieri from the opening.


    balance?


    Balance a fart!


    At the beginning of the game, Chelsea organized a wave of attacks, Millwall formed a crazy press in the midfield.


    Originally, Millwall released a variant of the 442 formation, looking at their starting list, Pedretti, De Rossi, Alonso, Ramor, Kaka, Villa, this is the starting midfielder 6 people , Obviously weakened the striker and strengthened the midfield, Ranieri believes that Aldridge either said that the balance is true, or is playing anti-anti, but the trend of the game is not what he expected.


    De Rossi guarded the front of the defender line and acted as a barrier. Pedretti cooperated with Alonso to launch a crazy breadcrumb interception. Ramor pressed the midfield line from behind.


    At the beginning of the game, Pedretti steals the ball from Zenden''s feet. Zenden is innocent. Apparently Petit passed the ball to himself before and after facing Lamore and Kaka, and it was a knife mountain ball. He and Pedretti went to grab the ball at the same time. He first touched the ball and couldn''t finish the kick. Because he couldn''t find a point around him, he stopped the ball and was intercepted by Pedretti.


    Pedretti steals the ball and crosses the ball to Alonso. The latter passes the ball straight ahead. Lamor, who takes the ball in front of Petit, passes the ball horizontally and then passes directly to Billy on the right. Ya, Villa retreated to take the ball. When he retreated, the other side of the vertical cross, Kaka rushed forward, attracting Terry to come out and press the defensive Villa to control the ball, and then passed diagonally behind. When Ca got into the penalty area, he led the ball and took a slanting step. He drove past Desaili, who is nearly 34 years old. At the same time, he had a shooting angle. Kaka volleyed the goal from a small angle!


    "Milwall scored a goal! Beautiful goal, what formation did Millwall play today? 433? Or 442? In short, they built a huge advantage in the midfield, giving the opponent a strong pressure to organize the attack. After the midfield interception, he quickly launched a fast break, Kaka helped Millwall to open the record!"


    Aldridge nodded with a smile. Although this season is the first season for Kaka to join Millwall, his growth in all aspects has satisfied the coaching staff.


    Excellent talent and professionalism make Kaka a threat in just one season. Although there are still limitations, at least he has the offensive space. When his teammates help out, he knows how to use his advantages and he does not hesitate. , With a firm and unwavering heart!


    When the talents in this area are tapped, it is necessary to further develop his ability under a controlled tactical system. After all, Millwall will be restricted by his opponents in most games, reducing their speed threat.


    If Ranieri''s heart was hit hard, he felt incredible, really incredible!


    No matter the main lineup or the backup lineup, Millwall has a set of tailor-made powerful tactics, which can be adjusted according to the personnel.


    Obviously, it can play a good power, but Aldridge today suppressed Chelsea on targeted restrictions.


    Should I say that Aldridge is dedicated? Or is he always trying boldly to break through himself?


    Because of his dedication, he will not nibble at his old book, and will do his best for each game, against different opponents, to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses, and seize the weaknesses of opponents to fight death!


    Obviously, Chelsea lack field control players, the core of the organization, even if it is the offensive and defensive conversion center, to have a first-class level, they do not have.


    Petit has not been in the same state since he moved to Chelsea. The best Petit is Arsenal¡¯s Petit, France¡¯s Petit, not Chelsea¡¯s Petit, so there is a flaw in the midfield defense. Second, Chelsea faced with Millwall''s compressed midfield, and the crazy press centered on the midfield. To break this game, Chelsea needs to make full use of the width of the field. Only by constantly shifting and pulling the width away can you avoid Mill. Wall focused on intercepting the area.


    However, in this style of play, first of all, you need to have the right player, or Manchester United''s golden wings, with the central axis dispatching back and forth. The opponent wants to grab and ran past the ball? Either the team has played to the extreme and runs in a wide range, but Chelsea itself still has some veterans. In terms of the team''s running ability, it is obviously not as good as Millwall''s gangster.


    Ranieri frowned, and Aldridge stood still on the sidelines.


    Klinsmann whispered on the coach seat: "Actually today, our strength comparison with Chelsea is half a catty, but we are still advanced. Under such circumstances, you have to admire Aldridge''s coaching ability. ."


    Janson covered his mouth: "In the past month, I found that he seemed to have returned to his original state."


    "initial?"


    "It''s, um, the state when he first took over the team in 1994, maybe because history is in his hands."


    Klinsmann nodded thoughtfully.


    He can understand what Jensen means by "history".


    Millwall has won four championships in a single season from the start to today, the Charity Shield, Super Cup, Toyota Cup, League Cup.


    The league champion has been locked, that is, the fifth championship is in hand, and the last two championships remain, the Champions League and the FA Cup.


    If Millwall can win these two championships.


    This is definitely a great achievement from the past!


    Seven seasons in a single season!


    Before the start of the season, I don''t think so much, but at this point, history is really in the hands of Audridge. How can he take it lightly?


    So in Jensen''s eyes, Aldridge''s working state returned to the original state, serious, hardworking, every second, even no time to chat with friends and colleagues to joke, most of the time he will be thinking when resting.

 Chapter 773： lead the trend

    The FA Cup semi-final staged fiercely.


    Chelsea players are both depressed and discouraged, every time they play against Millwall, but if the coach wants to let them play the tactical effect, they can''t play it at all, because the opponent will bring unexpected effects to the game.


    Millwall players are full of energy and are very fierce in fighting, especially the three players in the midfield today: De Rossi, Pedroti, Alonso.


    The three''s midfield interception played the effect that Aldridge wanted to see.


    That is tough! Iron blood!


    Bravely face each collision!


    They provide a strong protection for the back line, so that Metselde and Balzali''s double central guard combination has no worries, and partial defense has always had a number advantage.


    Whenever the interception was successful, Millwall played a fast break, Ramall went through the needle and the front line. Today it seems that Ramor and Villa partnered the frontline. In fact, Kaka and Ramor were misplaced in the game. Kaka is the one who will really rush forward to charge and launch a deadly attack!


    After opening the ball, Chelsea must attack to restore the defeat. Ranieri also continuously directed the players to use the field width to push the attack up, but Chelsea players found that their main attack will also be caught in the wall of Millwall. Unless, they can quickly turn the offense from side to side.


    Chelsea do not have a top-of-the-line flying configuration, and there is no advantage in the number of players in the field belt. They seem to have a more average position. Millwall has a partial loophole on the contrary, but in the game changes, Millwall players¡¯ running But bit can always focus on building local advantages.


    De Rossi guarded the midfielder midfielder, Ramall defended the midfielder midfielder, Pedretti and Alonso had the largest range of activities. Wherever Chelsea played, Millwall could divide his hands to support one side and form a double The siege!


    In the 28th minute, Zola tried to make an inward breakthrough. He had just passed Pedretti. De Rossi stepped forward and broke the ball. He also knocked Zola to the ground. The referee said nothing, De Rossi The frontal interception touched the ball first, more like Zola breaking through the car and colliding with De Rossi.


    De Rossi passed the ball to Alonso, who was running out of space. The latter led the ball and turned the plug to quickly pull the edge to find the free Ramor.


    Ramor drove the ball for a long distance along the left, Chelsea formation tilted to this side, before the guard line, Ramor passed the ball to Kaka.


    Kaka didn''t drive the ball forward, dribbling sideways, Chelsea''s midfield defensive defender went out and tried to intercept Kaka. Kaka was caught in the three-bread folder, but he didn''t panic, not at all, played under Aldridge. The longer he is, the more excited he is, the more excited, because playing on the court, his head will always be clear and not confused, he doesn¡¯t even have to watch, knowing that at this moment, Chelsea¡¯s defense has been torn apart!


    The key is whether he can play his due role.


    When the encircling circle had shrunk to close to two meters, Kaka calmly passed the ball from the middle of Deseli¡¯s legs. Behind Deseli, it was empty, there was no one originally, but after Kaka passed the ball, together The silhouette runs diagonally with the Chelsea defender line in reverse!


    Villa!


    Facing Cudicini, Villa kicked out with a volley, Cudicini fell to the ground and blocked the ball, but he really caught the ball. However, he failed to fully embrace the ball and the ball rolled slowly in front of him. , Villa then rushed up and made another shot to send the ball firmly into the goal.


    After the goal, Huluwa screamed and rushed to the side of the court to celebrate, Kaka also shivered with excitement, his legs rushed to Villa...


    "Millwall goes to the next city! Kaka''s pass to assist Villa breaks! Andy, I don''t know if you have a feeling. Millwall is playing a brand new 442, just like some people pointed out that the country of England The team, under Hall¡¯s training, actually kicked 442."


    "Martin, yes, I also noticed that from the perspective of formation and player positioning, Millwall''s 442, double forward is actually Kaka and Villa, Kaka is slightly behind. But I must say that now Mill Wall''s 442 is very different from the England national team''s pointed out Irving and McManaman''s double forward 442. The whole system is completely different."


    "The 442 in our impression should be the type of Manchester United. It has two wings flying together. There is a big tall on the front line and a fast horse. The formation is balanced. The position of the players is reasonable and can theoretically occupy every point on the court. However, the balanced 442 in that theory gradually began to break away from the times. Because of this monotonous and rough play, it is difficult to gain an advantage on a high-level stage. It is too easy to be thoroughly studied by opponents and targeted. It is now Milwaukee. 442, obviously has no inheritance and development relationship with the British tradition 442. It is a brand-new 442. When you see Ramor¡¯s active area all over the midfield, the striker like Villa can pull the edge and respond again. When the restricted area launched an impact, you knew that this was not the 442 we are familiar with, by no means."


    "Is Hall inventing a whole new set of technical and tactical play? When you think about it, when Ronaldinho was restricted by focus, he began to focus on response, and Millwall''s main lineup was often In fact, it is not 433, but 442, but they can make a perfect switch without being restricted to the formation system."


    "Of course, that''s because the players of Ronaldinho, Nedved, Pirlo, Henry, Larson have been able to surpass this level, plus the perfect team tacit understanding, they want to play all Yes, the frontcourt is crazy, can be called full attack and defense, formation? Is it important?"


    "Yes, so I said that I can see the prospect of its development in the Millwall substitute tactical system. Just like the British 442, most teams can use it. If it can be achieved, Hall is in Europe. Football, and even the historical position of world football, will rise to another level!"


    Aldridge was excited about the team''s second goal and kept clapping to signal the team to work harder, don''t let any slack!


    The 442 the narrator is discussing?


    He started trying it a year ago.


    As for the idea, about two years ago, when I was concerned about the England national team, I was in the heart.


    The British 442 has a long history and has a profound influence. It seems that it is everywhere in British football. It has been tried and tested and has immediate results. Of the 10 teams, at least two must be the traditional British style of play. In the selection of the lineup, the template must also be based on the British 442, two wing forwards, one high and one fast forward, and a dirty and fierce guard.


    When the British rated Ronaldinho as the best of the season, but put Ronaldinho''s position on the left halfback, the fans would relish that Ronaldinho defeated Giggs, but Aldridge was very contemptuous, presumably other Europe The country, as well as Brazilian fans, must be unacceptable.


    Avant-garde?


    If Ronaldinho is an English traditional frontier, he will definitely not be the height of today.


    Aldridge hated the British 442, especially after becoming the national team coach.


    You know, there are not many talented players in England itself, but players like McManaman, Joe Cole, Scholes are the most needed in England, but they have been destroyed one by one in the original history. Is the rigidity of British 442.


    It is impossible to imagine a talented player like McManaman, but it is squeezed out of the national team by Bamby. It is more difficult to imagine that a coach will use Scholes on the sidelines.


    When you are confined to the 442 framework where the offense and defense balance is like the traditional king of England, creative players such as McManaman, Scholes, and Joe Cole certainly cannot play their due strength, and you have to say that in In the performance of the same role players, there are people who are better than them, just like playing a full-back, Bamby will perform better than McManaman, but Aldridge has no interest in recruiting Bamby to test, the reason is Yes: I don¡¯t want a wing forward, as long as I give McManaman a wider space and a freer stage, he can bring more offensive contributions than the two wing forwards combined!


    Aldridge has been playing to his advantage, not only to attract talent in advance, but also to lead the tactical trend.


    Although such a lead has to be combined with the background of the times, it also has an innate advantage. Just like when 325 took over the world half a century ago, if someone can come up with a balance of offense and defense 442, can 325 be crushed? No, just thinking about one high and one quick with the offensive aggression in the side pass, 442 will be as mercilessly tearing up the defensive combination of 3 guards and 2 midfielders.


    When was British Tradition 442 thrown into the trash can? The original history was on the eve of 2008, when England missed the European Cup!


    In addition to the confusion and predicament of English football itself, it also included the fact that Spain and Barcelona set off the football revolution and ruled the aesthetics and culture of football.


    Since then, 4231 and 433 have sprung up everywhere. After another five years, even the default formation has changed from 442 to 433. This is the trend of revolution and the development of football tactics. The system overthrew the old pattern.


    Is 442 dead?


    how is this possible?


    How could a tactical system formation that survived and developed in football history for nearly half a century enter the grave so easily?


    But the previous system is indeed outdated. 442 is not a resurgence, but a rebirth.


    Ten years later, the most powerful force in football belongs to Bayern Munich, as well as the La Liga duo, and the master Barcelona was sunk by Bayern Munich. The Spanish World Cup ended in a fiasco. Real Madrid regained its advantage in the national derby. In terms of tactical system, The winning side uses 442, but this is already an unrecognizable 442. Regardless of the TV broadcast, when the head coach arranges the formation of the starting lineup, the most important core, when it comes into play, is actually 442, just like watching Bayern Munich, you have to think of Mueller as a striker. When the Netherlands beat Spain, the striker next to General Fan was Robben. Van Gaal¡¯s 352 was actually a variant of 442. Real Madrid¡¯s center Benzema¡¯s forward was C. Luo, as for Bell, who either delivers artillery shells or assaults on his own, most of his responsibilities and functions are far from those of the Zheng Yin striker.


    How did this new type of 442 crawl out of the grave and regenerate? It is due to the two previous events that had an impact on the earthquake level of football. In the 10 years Inter Milan crowned the champion and in 12 years Chelsea dominated Europa. They all eliminated the then king team Barcelona with extreme defense, but that set The ultimate defense cannot survive all the time, so on this basis, the minimum basis for cracking the transmission and control is developed and extended. It is the new type 442. The midfield is crazy to snatch, the fast advance after the strangler succeeds, the center responds, suddenly left Hu You''s unpredictable striker was fatal.


    Just like Millwall playing Chelsea today, it not only protects the defense, but also hides the attack point to the deepest during the offense. There is no doubt that this tactical concept is more advanced and requires more players, only in terms of duties, How many teams can do the midfield players to run on a large scale and change other teams? How do players themselves accept old ideas and dogmas?


    Fortunately, Audric''s disciples were taught by him in one hand, and they were obedient and willing to accept it, because Audridge also had another title of the media: King-Maker!


    Every young player can''t wait for Aldridge to give him more guidance, give higher demands, and then work **** his own. Maybe after success, he will become the next king of greenery!


    Aldridge looked at Chelsea who was starting to panic on the field, attacking the chaotic Chelsea, he was not surprised, honor, he has too much, but he is still creating, still writing his own glory, despite these brilliant skills It was "stealed", but he was thick-skinned and didn''t care, nobody knew it anyway.


    Now, he just wants to lead the football tactical trend!

 Chapter 774： Defeat again

    "At the end of the first half, Millwall led Chelsea 2-0. This is a refreshing first half. When Millwall is studying Europe, Chelsea, as a member of the Premier League, must also be against Milwaukee. He has an in-depth understanding. When Millwall will be visiting Bernabeu to challenge Real Madrid in the next week, it is no longer a secret that Hall will be placed in the bench in this game, but Chelsea is still beaten by surprise, Mill Wall''s tough, decisive, and even crazy midfield defense has shaped a new game situation. They will not give Chelsea the midfield to organize offensive space, and Millwall is hardworking and even looks cruelly active in the arrow Villa. In the performance, Ramall attacked in series, and today Kaka, who is actually the shadow forward, wandered on the offensive end, using his speed, dribbling, and Villa, intimidating, insulting, conquering Chelsea!"


    "Martin, on the board, in fact, the two teams have the same starting lineup today, and Millwall is slightly weaker, but they have better physical fitness, so it can be said that neither side has a clear advantage, the venue is also a middle position, and the atmosphere of the stands is still the resistance of both fans in court. In such a situation, Millwall could score two goals in the first half of the game, and very well restricted Chelsea¡¯s offense. In fact, Hall defeated Ranieri. At the tactical level, Ranieri now needs Think about the countermeasures, otherwise Chelsea''s season will end after 45 minutes in the second half."


    As they walked into the locker room, Millwall¡¯s players were still murderous. They didn¡¯t talk and laugh, they didn¡¯t talk about scoring goals. On the contrary, they were silent, determined, and meticulous, waiting for the second half and waiting for them. The war continues!


    Aldrich praised their performance and spent a lot of time to continue to cheer them up and stimulate their fighting spirit.


    Chelsea''s locker room is bleak, they are the entrants, not as clear as bystanders, the narrator is expecting Millwall to be able to start a new round of tactical innovation storm, and the Chelsea team itself is just thinking about how to restore this Games.


    Ranieri racked his brains, thinking about how to allow Chelsea to establish an advantage in the midfield, and can pass through Millwall''s midfield in organizational transmission, but no matter how he changes the midfield position, the offensive routine seems to be impossible to achieve Purpose, expect Chelsea to make full use of the space in two or three passes, and quickly transfer the offense, which is not realistic. They lack the brain, the role of the commander, the wing players, especially the players who provide support and oppression after the wing. , Ability is very general.


    Taking the initiative to attack without thinking of a solution, Ranieri tried to change his mind.


    That is to allow Millwall to wreak havoc in the midfield and Chelsea to withdraw in the midfield and backcourt to strengthen the defense. So, how to attack?


    Simple, long pass!


    As long as a team can play this tactic, Ranieri can¡¯t find a better way in a short time, but can only simplify it, instead of arranging complex offensive routines for players in the short time of the intermission, It is better to use a simple and crude method, at least the team integrity will not be a problem, so that because of too complicated tactical design, the team cannot be integrated and eventually collapse.


    When he walked out of the locker room at the end of the intermission, Ranieri knew that this time he had defeated Audric.


    This is a normal situation. When Millwall completely pushes his opponent into desperation and completely destroys his routine or confidence in organizing the attack, the opponent will use a long pass to deal with Millwall. If this is effective, then Millwall has already been defeated. This is a last resort under despair. After all, it is impossible for the court to always be an offense, but there is a strong form on the court, that is, the strong side dare not fight the opponent. Invest in the offense!


    At the beginning of the second half, Chelsea contracted in the backcourt and started to play long pass. Aldrich saw it, suddenly feeling happy, but his spirit was not relaxed.


    It can only be said that at the level of his head coach''s fighting style, Ranieri did not make a half-dozen move that would make him afraid.


    A long pass can''t be used by a team that has no way to do it, because there is a bottom line, that is, maybe, with good luck, you can score.


    Chelsea are stronger than those downstream teams, and are significantly worse than the top team lineup. They play this trick with some power, but they are not enough to swipe their opponents.


    But Ranieri''s adjustment had an immediate effect.


    Strong forward Hasselbaink drove away Barzagli in a head-on header. Aldrich thought it was a foul. He complained directly to the referee on the sidelines. The referee did not whistle. Hasselbaink''s header wanted to ferry to Goodjohnson, but Metzelder stared at the Icelander, hurriedly header, the ball fell to Zola''s feet, he happened to have a forward run Position, straight forward after stopping the ball in the chest, De Rossi failed to keep up, Zola entered the penalty area and continuously changed the direction to take off Metzelder. The chance of a single shot, but he passed the goal behind the goal , Hasselbaink overwhelmed and penetrated the goal guarded by Palyuka.


    Aldrich saw the swearing directly.


    He yelled viciously at the fourth official: "You are all **** blind! Hasselbaink knocked Barzali from behind, don''t **** tell me that it was a reasonable collision, I stab you from behind. , Is this reasonable? Can you accept it?"


    The fourth official turned around and did not dare to face Aldridge¡¯s question. The referee came to warn Aldridge, but was ironized by Aldridge with applause. He also pointed his eyes. The referee warned two sentences. Turn around and leave.


    Aldrich''s anger is justified. Although he has a high reputation and prestige in England, he is now provoking the referee''s authority and changing his coach. He was immediately sent off the court, but the referee group chose to be big and small.


    But the reason why he is angry is that he always has a feeling that in England, all teams with ambitions and strengths that are involved in the championship, the forces behind the scenes have united with each other in an attempt to affect various footballs such as the FA, the Premier League, the referee committee, etc. power.


    Just like the CEO of the Premier League after Millwall won the Premier League title 6 rounds in advance this season, he will congratulate Millwall brightly, but he will also say after congratulations: We hope that the Premier League competition will be more intense, the championship will always be the same Team, this phenomenon is not very good.


    Millwall already has a certain "political power" in England, but it does not mean that they can cover the sky with one hand. Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and other teams have certain energy. Imagine that Tottenham and Everton ten years ago are still recognized. For the top teams, they can contribute to the mainstay of the establishment of the Premier League. Ten years later, this pattern of strong alliances will not change, and it is difficult for a single big thing to happen.


    Aldridge hopes to be suspicious of himself, and has persecution and delusion. In this case, he is suspicious, not the fact.


    Millwall players did not complain about seeing a goal back. Only Barzali felt aggrieved. When fighting for the header, he got stuck first. Hasselbaink not only He jumped behind him, his elbow hit his back, and he fell to the ground.


    Aldrich didn''t believe that Chelsea could successfully win the fight with long pass!


    Millwall players also didn''t believe it.


    Chelsea withdrew to avoid midfield, Millwall''s crazy set of rapid advance after interception was useless, but it did not mean that they were all right.


    The Alonso organization, Pedretti and Ramall were by the side, one was in front, and De Rossi was behind to provide support. Millwall built an offensive advantage by controlling the midfield and slowly eroded Chelsea¡¯s. Line of defense.


    Patience, stability, concentration, diligent running, active defense, Millwall''s backup lineup has demonstrated the quality of the position battle that makes Audridge proud!


    Chelsea withdrew, and Millwall sought opportunities outside the penalty area.


    In the 69th minute, Alonso''s high-footed long-range shot almost penetrated Kudicini''s ten fingers.


    After 2 minutes, Chelsea''s backcourt long pass was controlled by De Rossi, then De Rossi took the ball forward and rushed to the front line unhindered. When encountering Petit, De Rossi passed the ball to the run Free Alonso, Alonso tries another long shot!


    The ground ball went straight to the bottom right corner of Chelsea''s goal. Kudicini responded quickly and fell to the ground to block the ball with his hand. But Chelsea failed to watch Villa in the penalty area. Almost everyone was watching Aron Suo''s long shot, only Villa quietly ran from the back line to the goal and ran into the small penalty area. His follow-up was not in vain. Maybe he would follow up like this 10 times, but this time it paid off, and This time, let him seize the opportunity to go to the next city!


    "Billah started the ball with a supplementary shot, 3:1, Millwall almost locked the victory. Chelsea can''t play like this, really not. If the defense can be defeated by a long pass after the contraction, Millwall will be defeated. He was hit with a lot of holes. To put three offensive players in front, Chelsea''s defense cannot be perfect. The defender line and the midfielder line, choose one of two, they chose to strengthen the defender line, the last gate ''S defense, so Millwall made a long shot in the periphery to threaten Chelsea''s goal. If it is not Coudicini''s bravery, Chelsea''s third goal will not come so late."


    Seeing the team score the third goal, Aldridge laughed, then waved his hand and withdrew!


    With less than 20 minutes left in the game, leading the opponent by two goals, since the opponent can play a long pass counterattack after defense, why can''t Millwall take it back to fight your counterattack?


    Ranieri saw this situation, it is estimated to be the same as Rexach''s mind: shameless!


    Perhaps in their hearts, Millwall is the king and the most awesome team. They should attack one after another from the first minute to the ninetieth minute, oppressing the attack and wielding the butcher''s knife on the front line. Kill your opponent!

 Chapter 775： The War of the Century Unveils

    At the Vera Park Stadium, Chelsea fans in the stands looked numb, and the Lions fans started the party at this time as always.


    Millwall withdrew, compressing the backcourt space, even if Chelsea hit a long pass again, they may not be able to take a chance.


    Others say that attacking from start to finish is the hero''s character, and Audric scoffed.


    Millwall''s philosophy was never to pursue offensive, but to pursue victory. Offense is only a means of victory, but it does not represent victory.


    Earlier, some people criticized Millwall for being too utilitarian, and withdrew the key to victory when he held it to fight back.


    But now, such a voice began to disappear and became a hymn.


    "One victory after another, Hall is playing his biggest role, helping the team gain an advantage, turning the advantage into a victory, and when the situation is bright, firmly hold the victory in the hand!"


    "Yes, I think it was unfair to criticize him for being too utilitarian in the past. Thinking from his standpoint, victory is naturally the first. Secondly, he cultivates young players and needs to stimulate the players with victory. Flying, this will undoubtedly be a very big blow. Because of this, he had to put the victory first, and at the same time, there is another role, that is to make the players'' minds flexible, 3:1, they Of course, you can continue to attack, but the risk of losing the ball will increase, because as the physical fitness declines, Chelsea desperately counterattacks, Millwall knows that the opponent will overwhelm, why should he take the initiative to attack and open the door to meet the opponent?"


    In fact, Aldrich did this, Ranieri, or other opponents would not consider him utilitarian, because they are replaced, 80% will do so, because the consequence of this is to hit the opponent more!


    I am here, you can only watch me take away the victory!


    When Millwall leads 3-1 but starts to focus on defense and control the game rhythm, the torture imposed on the opponent''s body and mind will be extremely powerful. This is a kind of torture!


    I have to say that Aldridge has some dark pleasures. He just likes to watch this kind of scene. It is regarded as your first day, I do fifteen, and Feng Shui takes turns.


    I want to bow my head to fight back, now I''m ahead, and I''ll catch your counterattack!


    Chelsea''s counterattack in the last 20 minutes continued to increase their offensive force input, but they still did not have the advantage in the midfield and could only rely on the cross-promoted cross to create a threat. Without worries, Metzelder and Barzali, well controlled the situation in the restricted area, plus De Rossi sometimes withdraws from the hinterland of the restricted area, Millwall always saw the ball flying in the restricted area, but was steadily resolved the danger.


    In the 84th minute, Millwall played a lightning counterattack. Alonso attacked the middle of the road and moved forward. Kaka rushed forward in front of him. Ramall transitioned once in the middle. Kaka and Villa formed a double ghost shot. The momentum of the goal, but the ball was passed back at the last minute. Chelsea, a small number of defenders, turned back in the restricted area. When Alonso finally settled, he nearly hit the empty goal.


    "4:1, Millwall locked the victory! The young Alonso also scored a goal. It is rumored that Millwall midfielder Pirlo will transfer in the summer, but the Lions should not be too worried. They have Plan B responds to the departure of the core. Now Alonso is a very good candidate. Don¡¯t forget that Millwall also has a rented Lampard who played well in White Hart Lane all season!"


    When the game ended, Aldridge roared with his arms raised.


    "Yeah!"


    Defeating the enemy to advance to the finals will undoubtedly make him excited, and what makes him even more excited is that he relies on Millwall''s bench to reach the finals!


    The players who played did not show the joyous color, but instead clenched their fists clenched heavily, which seemed to have a kind of depressed pleasure.


    It is not easy for them to get here. The FA Cup and League Cup this season are not a journey of conquest for them, but a self-proven battlefield.


    The League Cup is already in the bag, and the FA Cup final tickets are now available. Such a record is very strong for their confidence.


    The next day, the major media on Fleet Street sang praises for the Lions'' promotion to the FA Cup final.


    "4:1, a new generation of crazy lions defeated Chelsea!"


    "Hall Zailiang''s new trick: Who said 442 can''t kill the Quartet?!"


    "Millwall and Arsenal will meet in the FA Cup final!"


    "Villa, Kaka, Alonso, heroes of the mad lion, who is the next generation lion king?"


    ...


    "Dad, is Madrid fun?"


    "I''m not a tourist in Madrid, is it fun? Grandpa takes you to play. If it''s not fun, you blame him!"


    On the eve of the Spanish expedition, Aldrich packed his luggage at home as usual. These were all prepared according to the text. Very simple short-distance travel equipment and a change of clothes were enough. It only took two days.


    Ewen has sorted out Aldridge''s small suitcase in the bedroom, and she is now preparing other things.


    Aldridge was sitting on the living room sofa, and Burt and Earl sat on his lap. The two little guys turned over the album and couldn¡¯t put it down. It was taken by Aldridge during his travels around the world for more than a decade. The photos, which contained many beautiful landscape photos, were very much liked by the two sons.


    They will ask the question: Where is this?


    They will also be interested to visit: Can we go here to play?


    They will be curious about novelty: is this a monkey?


    No, that''s a koala.


    Aldridge never felt that the time spent with two children would be boring, which is an important reason for his determination to retire from the position of head coach after the summer World Cup.


    Raising children is not just simply taking care of them and giving them a good living environment. Audric feels that the interaction between parents and children is particularly important. In particular, Yiwen is not their biological mother. As a father, he will feel more responsible strong.


    Sometimes he also thinks, why at his age there will be ideas that other coaches absolutely have no idea?


    He thinks it may be because he is young. When other coaches take charge of a top club, they are at least 35 years old. Even if they have children, the children have reached the independent age. Even if adults want to worry, the children may "refuse" .


    Everyone''s situation is different. Aldrich doesn''t think about the situation of others. He only hopes that his life will be more satisfactory.


    "Tomorrow, I have to listen to the words of Aunt Yiwen and grandparents. If you are not obedient, next time, I won''t take you out to play. Do you know?"


    "Know it!"


    The brothers answered in unison.


    They are more excited. Tomorrow Millwall will go to Spain. They will join Ewen and Arthur, and then go to Madrid to play together. Later that evening, they will go to the Bernabeu box to watch the game.


    ...


    Madrid airport.


    The Millwall team arrived here in a club private plane. In Spain, there are also many Millwall fans. To be honest, there are very few loyal **** fans in foreign countries, most of them are star chasers.


    However, the arrival of the Millwall team detonated the airport atmosphere.


    The media reporters gathered and it was difficult to count the fans greeted.


    Millwall''s staff, coaching staff, players, all suits and shoes, uniforms and uniforms walked out of the airport lobby.


    Those famous stars are the focus of the crowd.


    Aldridge has fans who are not girls, and he has become accustomed to face the cries and shouts.


    He walked steadily towards the bus outside the airport, followed by the players behind him, and sometimes waved hands interactively with the crowd.


    In the early years, Ronaldinho''s dress will be very weird, giving people a strange visual sense, but in the past year, he has become synonymous with avant-garde fashion. The slim suit is very smart to wear on the body, hairband, earrings, Watches, rings... If Ronaldinho would make a cosmetic surgery, he would definitely be a fashion man.


    But for football, someone has to pay attention to your appearance first with the skills and fame. Ronaldinho''s popularity is definitely earned from the court, so no one will ignore him because of his appearance and fall in love with his football first. Only then will he fall in love with him, it doesn''t matter with his face.


    As the Millwall team arrived in Madrid, the hype "War of the Century" officially kicked off.


    Madrid''s football atmosphere has also entered a tense state of emergency preparations!


    The following day the headlines of all major newspapers in Madrid were full of news from Millwall and Real Madrid.


    On Wednesday night, the Sanctuary of Madrid football: Santiago Bernab¨¦u.


    Not only did the fans on both sides fill up the entire stadium stands early, but also gathered a lot of fans outside the stadium. Millwall took a bus to the Bernabeu before the start of the game. There have been media reporters sitting in the helicopter shooting the live broadcast all the way. This shows the degree of attention of this "War of the Century"!


    A lot of celebrities came from the Bernabeu stand. The event was unprecedented. Chairman Florentino and Millwall Chairman Arthur briefly sat down and prepared to watch the game. Florentino saw the Bernabeu''s grand occasion today, and was immediately proud of it. The Real Madrid superstar brand he built has already begun to pay off.


    Arthur believes that Real Madrid is exposed to Millwall''s light. Without Millwall''s "great visit", Real Madrid wants to receive such great attention today and dream!


    When the players on both sides warmed up on the court, the passion in the stands had begun to release. The Bernabeu echoed loudly and the team songs lingered in the sky. The fans of Millwall were like a drop of the sea compared to the Bernabeu home team fans, but they still carried their scarves. Singing the song of the mad lion, even if it will drown in the singing of the home team, but no one still closed his mouth.


    After the warm-up, players from both sides returned to the locker room.


    The players sorted out the equipment for the final match, put on leg guards, tied their shoelaces and tucked their jerseys into goal pants. After everything was done, the 11 starters looked up and looked strong.


    Aldridge raised his chest with his hands in his hands and asked lightly: "Real Madrid has introduced two superstars, Figo and Zidane, in the last two years in the already impressive team lineup. They now look extremely powerful. , Can anyone tell me, Millwall and Real Madrid, who is stronger?"


    "Milwall!"


    The 11 team members answered in unison without hesitation, the voice was loud.


    Aldridge asked again: "This is Bernabeu. What is Millwall''s pursuit here?"


    "victory!"


    "Come on, play!"


    Aldrich took the lead and turned away, and the players followed him out of the locker room.


    In the player channel, Aldridge passed the Real Madrid players and did not take a glance at the former disciples Elgra and Makelele.


    They now look like Sheng Xue in white!


    Is it noble?


    Maybe, who cares?

 Chapter 776： Come to play exciting

    The much-anticipated Bernabeu, Aldridge walked into the stadium and sat on the coach seat.


    Thoughts fly.


    After Florentino came to power, he brought Figo to Real Madrid. Last season, Bosque led the Real Madrid league. This season, Zidane was introduced. The Champions League reached the semi-finals, and the league is estimated to have no drama.


    Bosque does not belong to Florentino''s favorite coach, there is no "star", but he won the league title anyway last season, this kind father-like coach is also loved by players, Florentino is naturally not easy Change the coach, and there is no suitable replacement.


    The most important change for Real Madrid this season is actually not Zidane¡¯s arrival, because Zidane is just a star, but Real Madrid¡¯s high-level decision-making and team building policy can affect Real Madrid¡¯s entire team. And the short-term future.


    The landmark policy is: Zidane + Pavin policy.


    Florentino finalized Real Madrid''s team-building policy of introducing superstars and supplementing youth training to promote talent.


    Generally speaking, this is a good idea!


    Millwall built the team in this way, and has his own youth training, but when needed, he will introduce World Cup champion supernovas like Henry.


    The concept is correct, the introduction of talents and the emphasis on youth training, Manchester United, AC Milan, Barcelona, ??Bayern Munich, including the current Millwall, are all operating in this mode. When reaching the peak, the team structure can also Seeing these two points, the successful youth training coupled with the correct transfer market operation.


    However, Real Madrid had a directional problem in the specific implementation.


    When you think of Real Madrid, you can think of this as a team that is well-known for its offense.


    Real Madrid¡¯s youth training naturally takes offense as the core. Offensive factors and offensive football philosophy penetrate into every corner of this club.


    Therefore, the vast majority of Real Madrid''s outstanding youth training products are mostly offensive players!


    In other words, Florentino''s recruitment policy, the introduction of offensive superstars, itself suppresses the space for their own excellent youth players to take the top position, followed by the promotion of defensive players such as Pavin, Real Madrid does not cultivate defensive players And the youth training is outstanding, so there are things that are top-heavy and violate the rules of football development, so there is nothing surprising.


    Aldridge is not afraid of Real Madrid, never!


    Because Real Madrid is in his eyes a team that is out of competition itself.


    In the 90-minute game, the Real Madrid star will have 15 minutes to 20 minutes of "performance time", which is what this stadium, Bernabeu, and the fans in the stands in the stands are happy to see.


    Looking back at the editing of Real Madrid''s entire season, they can edit much more "personal performance highlights" than other teams, but they said goodbye to the champions in the league.


    Don¡¯t attack or die!


    What can be scared of playing such an opponent?


    In Aldrich''s eyes, it is the kind of team that is willing to defend, knows how to defend, and puts the defense first. That is why he should have a headache!


    I can''t imagine Capello won the league title but still dissatisfied the fans. I can''t imagine Capello won the league title or was dissatisfied by the fans!


    So Aldridge regretted not being able to play against Real Madrid coached by Capello.


    What exactly does Real Madrid want?


    Offense is the basis, victory is basically up to the standard, and then there is some performance entertainment, OK, almost satisfactory.


    Overall, Real Madrid is an aristocrat who wants to ravage opponents and achieve their goals in an elegant way.


    Sorry, the world is not around Real Madrid, you want to be elegant and gorgeous, and you want to keep your opponents clean, but Aldridge does not agree, Millwall does not agree, London has over 300,000 wild lions Fan did not agree!


    Of course, if Real Madrid has the money to buy 11 world-class stars with pure athletic ability, and a coach can combine the team as a whole and play a team strength of 1 + 1 greater than 2, then Real Madrid wants basically Obtained, unfortunately, to do this is tantamount to the difficulty of going to the sky.


    Bernabeu echoed the Champions League theme song, Aldridge looked at Real Madrid''s starting lineup, and his mouth was slightly raised, and it was fleeting.


    "In the first round of the Champions League semi-finals, one was the Derby in England and the other was hailed by the media as the century war. This century war is finally going to start in the Bernabeu! Look at the two teams'' lineups. The lineup.


    Starting 442.


    Goalkeeper: Casillas.


    Guards: Salgado, Hierro, Pavin, Carlos.


    Midfielders: Figo, Makelele, Elgra, Zidane.


    Forwards: Morientes, Raul.


    Let''s take a look at Millwall''s starting lineup.


    Starting 433.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.


    Midfielders: Gattuso, Pirlo, Nedved.


    Forwards: Larson, Henry, Ronaldinho.


    This is a feast of superstars and a pinnacle of UEFA football. Our only hope now is that in the first game, the first 90 minutes of the final match, the two teams will not be tacitly conservative. In that case, the Bernabeu fans, The audience in front of the TV will be disappointed. "


    The UEFA Champions League theme song has been played, and the group photo before the game has been completed. The competition is about to start.


    "Huh, I really look forward to it."


    Klinsmann suddenly sighed beside Aldridge.


    Aldridge nodded and smiled: "Yes, I am really looking forward to what will happen to Real Madrid''s gorgeous offensive quartet."


    "Is this predictable? The talented offensive players are unpredictable on the spot."


    "No, what I''m looking forward to is how they will contribute defensively."


    "Hah? What can I expect?"


    "No? I think they want to play against Millwall. Even at the level of Real Madrid, they have the most and only one player can not participate in defense. This will be the future development trend of football."


    Klinsmann fell silent, thoughtful.


    In the cheers of the Bernabeu fans, the game began.


    Bosque was also sitting on the coach''s bench, his expression calm and his mind thinking alive.


    He was actually hesitant today, whether to withdraw Elgra to play as a central defender, or to let Elgra play in the midfield. In the end, he still let Elgra play in the midfield and strengthen the midfield defense together with Makelele. Millwall''s chance to establish an advantage in the midfield. If he withdraws Elgra to play as a defender, then he will send Solari in the midfield. The midfield is only defended by Makelele, which is too Take a risk.


    What effect will this have, he hopes to take a closer look at the situation after the opening.


    It must be said that Real Madrid¡¯s midfield and frontcourt configuration today is very clear of attack and defense. Makelele defends, and Elgra can also defend. At the same time, Makelele¡¯s advantage is that the ball is stable after the defense is successful. Elgra has certain Ability to cope with, can give Zidane an attack, the side attack is never Real Madrid will worry about, Carlos eats one by one, Salgado can move up and down flexibly, Figo can be able to play, Real Madrid can attack In theory, there is a lot of freedom.


    At the beginning, Real Madrid did not dare to attack violently at home. Maybe it is that he will be afraid of Millwall''s two consecutive Champions League titles.


    Millwall also changed his normal situation today, did not display high-pressure forced tactics, their defense line is relatively backward, the siege is still based on the frontcourt players, the midfield line uses Pirlo and Gattuso as the watershed, and the backcourt defense is still stable. Mainly, it is reasonably distributed in the danger zone space, and the front court players actively return to defend to exert pressure.


    This is naturally targeted by Aldrich.


    Playing Real Madrid can''t be as oppressive as playing Barcelona. Never!


    The reason is simple, Real Madrid''s midfield is much stronger than Barcelona!


    Especially personal ability.


    Millwall''s high-pressure press will make the first-class stars very uncomfortable, will make mistakes, will be intercepted, and will be lost in crazy oppression.


    But when you get rid of Zidane, who is super first-class, the more you go to grab him, the more you are in the arms!


    Zidane has a very obvious advantage in organizational ability, he can make a very complex situation very simple and clear.


    Millwall forced to snatch, cut the opponent''s offensive formation, block the passing route, and then intercepted from different directions. Zidane''s best thing was to get rid of the spot. If you dare to make a move to grab, I can pass it lightly. You, spiking, pulling the ball, Marseille maneuvering, cycling changing direction, stopping and driving, changing the rhythm, on the technical ability in this respect, Zidane may be the strongest on the planet, once he breaks through the interception circle, The entire defense system is almost over.


    The reason why Aldridge is so cautious is that Zidane is stronger than before. When he played with Juventus a few years ago, he witnessed Zidane¡¯s ability on the field. After a few years, Zidane changed. Old, but he is more powerful than before, and will continue to grow stronger, he is definitely a different kind of football.


    "Comeon, comeon, Real Madrid, attack, come up with your noble style, attack! You will not invest more in the offensive force, the home fans will boo you!"


    After the opening, Millwall is entering the game. It is quite normal to be conservative. Real Madrid is also based on balance. The attack is slow and unrestrained. It has not raised the rhythm and speed, nor has it been excessively invested. Defender Carlos does not come up, but Elgar, the sword guard, does not come up. The four men have solved Millwall''s entire defense system? is it possible?


    Klinsmann smirked when he heard Aldridge''s whispering.


    After 10 minutes of watching the game, Aldridge couldn''t hold back, and Bosque was overwhelmed. The media advocated a long war of the century. If it goes on like this, of course it won''t work.


    Bosque is puzzled, how can Aldridge sweep Yaxing from fans all over the world?


    He stood up and walked to the sidelines, giving Millwall a signal: Offense!


    Since Real Madrid is a little bit pros and cons, let''s play a little more exciting, no one has any worries!

 Chapter 777： Magnificence and violence

    "Millwall is the Champions League champion of the past two seasons. If they can beat them, Real Madrid will prove themselves. We are the strongest team in Europe. This has always been our pursuit. We work hard for this. We hope that in the Champions League Do it on stage!"


    Real Madrid flag Raul said so before the game.


    "It''s exciting to play against Millwall, and my heart will tremble with excitement. Beating them will definitely be a fantastic memory!"


    Zidane is looking forward to defeating the mad lion of the king in Bernabeu!


    "I haven''t won in the past few games against Millwall. This is an awkward record, but I think this record will end this season. Real Madrid is strong enough to win everything!"


    Figo is also confident in this game.


    "We will defeat the mad lion!"


    "we will¡­¡­"


    "royal house Madrid¡­¡­"


    Before the game, Real Madrid, where the stars gathered, issued a variety of voices, self-encouragement, morale improvement, pressure on opponents, expectation, longing, desire, and all kinds of emotions.


    But when it came to the game, Real Madrid players found that the game was more difficult than they thought.


    At a glance on the court, although Raul still tried very hard to withdraw his defense, the three of Figo, Zidane, and Morientes added up. Probably, there was only one person''s defensive contribution, plus Raul at best. A team of 11 people, Real Madrid has two and a half offensive players who do not return to defense!


    On Millwall''s side, Henry and Ronaldinho participated in the defense in a limited way. The investment of the two was almost the same as that of Raul. The others, including Larson, were very actively involved in the defense, even if Pirlo was half A defensive player, in fact, Millwall is one more person than Real Madrid in defense!


    Not a goalkeeper on the field, there are 10 people on one side, and Millwall can have 1 more defense than the other side, which will make the gap on the field very obvious!


    To put it bluntly, Millwall¡¯s Nedvide and Larson have a strong contrast in the defensive strength. It can be seen from the depth of the two players¡¯ position on the field, and because Nedvide has a leadership role, give The impact and appeal of the team, at least on the defensive end, definitely surpassed Real Madrid.


    In the eyes of many people, utilitarian football is the ultimate defensive counterattack. Aldrich does not think so. He feels that Real Madrid played very utilitarian after the opening. He dared not release it and played his own football. The signs, everything, is thinking for promotion, not the simplest competition.


    In this case, Aldridge is willing to play first. If Real Madrid should take the initiative, Millwall will drive the game rhythm and promote the development of the game. This is not bad. Although playing at the previous rhythm, Millwall is absolutely acceptable. Back at home and beat Real Madrid again, but in this century''s war, Audridge wants to be the protagonist, but also want Millwall to kick out their style.


    When he ordered the whole team to attack, it was not simply a big wave: small ones, rush for Lao Tzu!


    Real Madrid''s midfield defense is both tough and efficient. Makelele + Elgra, this is the former disciple of Aldridge, how can he not understand their defensive characteristics and capabilities?


    Millwall is going to attack. It is obviously unwise to advance from the middle. It is still necessary to rely on the side attack. Ronaldinho and Larsen are not enough. That is too easy to be restricted. The full-back must assist. Not only this, but also in The tactics highly broke Real Madrid''s overall defensive system.


    Millwall adapts to the rhythm of the court and enters the game. The head coach orders the offense, and they no longer have any hesitation. Such an offense refers to the offensive investment and offensive tendencies, and it leans from the balance to the adventure.


    After trying several front-court personal breakthroughs and small-scale pass and cut cooperation, Millwall knew that such a simple trick could not break Real Madrid¡¯s city gate, Makelele¡¯s sweep, Elgra¡¯s replacement, in the small area. It is a bit whimsical to want to break through Real Madrid, especially when Real Madrid does not increase the offensive investment, the defensive players will not lose position, and the offensive players will also properly withdraw the defensive compression space.


    The patient Millwall began to use a higher level of team offensive cooperation.


    In the 18th minute, Millwall launched a wave of attacks from the goalkeeper.


    Boot kicks the ball and passes the ball to Southgate. As Morientes jogs to grab, Southgate passes the ball to Schneider''s side.


    Raul was far away. Unexpectedly, after Schneider took the ball, he directly rushed forward and rushed forward. Raul couldn''t catch up with the defense. After passing the center line, Schneider immediately stopped the ball and stopped. He didn''t rush to the end. I plan to want to be on this side from the point of attack to the end point. It is almost impossible to play successfully. It is too conspicuous to be able to hide the point of attack. Real Madrid¡¯s defense has now tilted to Carlos¡¯ side and hit right. Road, very unwise.


    Schneider made a diagonal pass to Nedved in the frontcourt. Two meters behind Nedved was Elgra. The Czech never stopped the ball and knocked the ball back to Pirlo who rushed up. After the pass Just running backwards, Elgra immediately followed.


    Pirlo scored the ball after halftime and continued to move forward. Aldridge saw this picture and was very determined.


    Real Madrid''s attacking four-man team was left behind Pirlo. Millwall''s attack broke Real Madrid''s midfield and defensive line. When Pirlo went up, at least the number of offenses, the disadvantage will not be too obvious. The key is to hit the speed, the speed of the ball transfer and the success rate!


    Pirlo''s pressure, Real Madrid''s defense immediately felt great pressure.


    Makelele and Elgra played for Millwall, and knew the power and characteristics of Millwall''s offense. Therefore, in defense, they will not easily grab, the key is to guard the danger zone.


    Pirlo divided the ball to Ronaldinho and continued to move forward. He actively took the distance according to Nedved''s running route and ran to another area. He defended one defense and one defense. The defending player himself was a bit difficult to follow, Mark After seeing Pirlo''s pass, Lele pushed forward, and voluntarily ran to the area directly in front of Pirlo, but Pirlo and Nedved were very tacit and did not continue to charge forward. Contained Real Madrid''s two major defenders.


    Ronaldinho took the ball and turned to face Salgado''s frontal defense. Ronaldinho did not entangle with the opponent and passed the ball to the side of the side before passing. When Salgado had not turned around to chase the ball, I saw Zambrotta. The wind usually passed him by!


    At this time, Schneider had already returned, he was the mobilizer. After he passed the ball, he knew that his task was completed in this wave of attack, the attack was launched from the right, but the full-back made real oppression and threat. On the left!


    This process will make Real Madrid''s defense go from the beginning to the right and then back to the left. The formation will change swaying. At this time, it is most likely to be empty.


    Zambrotta touched the ball for the first time, and Salgado immediately rushed to intercept!


    Seeing the choice of his teammates, Makelele felt anxious immediately.


    Don''t grab it!


    Sure enough, Salgado just accelerated to block Zambrotta''s in-cut route, Zambrotta passed the ball back to Ronaldinho, at this time, Ronaldinho''s empty zone in front of him was much larger than before!


    Ronaldinho started at full speed. He also took the inward route and took the route behind Salgado. The gap between Salgado and the central defender was too large. Thank you Zambro Tara for taking away Sal Credit to Canada.


    Elgra and Makelele are going to make up seats, but Makelele is moving, and Elgra continues to follow Nedved.


    When Makelele returned to the penalty area to form a frontal defense against Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho moved the ball laterally. Henry pulled out at this time. He was behind Hierro, Ronaldinho passed the ball to Henry, and Henry knocked back to No. Pirlo marked.


    Makelele and Elgra were so cold, Pirlo organized an attack unmarked at 35 yards from the goal. This **** was too dangerous!


    After Henry passed the ball, he and Nedved, Ronaldinho, all rushed to the left side of the Real Madrid penalty area at the same time. All of a sudden, Real Madrid''s defender and midfielder were taken to that area. The defensive player instinct The ground keeps up, and Pirlo is likely to pass the ball and hit this area.


    Can''t let Pirlo control the ball so easily, Carlos rushed through the first time, but he was far away, and he had not run to Pirlo''s three meters, Pirlo''s pass was sent from under his feet.


    The ball was sent over the ball.


    Carlos looked down the path of the ball and was shocked.


    The picture in front of him made the hearts of Real Madrid cool.


    Who''s the top of the ball?


    Parvin!


    But Parvin was still looking backwards and looked up at the ball without realizing it. Behind him, a figure was rushing towards the ball and expected to land!


    Parvin actually barely jumped!


    The result was naturally a bump. When the ball flew over his head, it was at least 30 cm away from his head. He didn¡¯t hear much. In fact, it was a serious mistake for the defender¡¯s prediction!


    Someone rushed to the ball that fell behind Pavin.


    Who?


    The lion hero king, Larson!


    Fighting against Real Madrid, teammates have contributed to this attack, how can he be invisible?


    The extremely calm Larson looked at the ball''s flight path and stepped on the step. He had already figured out how to deal with the ball falling in the air.


    There is no chance for him to adjust the stopping of the ball. It is slightly closer to the goal. If he stops the ball, the shooting angle will become very narrow.


    As a result, Larson, who slid diagonally into the hinterland of the penalty area, just like an assassin in the dark night, suddenly burst into a lethal power!


    boom!


    Larsson hit the ball in the air, the ball was like a meteor blinking, and went straight to the far corner of Real Madrid''s goal!


    Casillas did not respond, Real Madrid''s entire back line, all players involved in defense were dumbfounded!


    Larson touched the ball once in this attack, but sent the ball to the door of Real Madrid. In his brilliant green field career, the soul of the foot filled another record: 01-02 season Champions League semi-final match Real Madrid, set a record in the Bernabeu!


    Larson opened his arms reluctantly and began to run, Bernabeu fell into silence, and the guest lion fans made a collective gesture of worship.


    In the eyes of the Bernabeu fans, Millwall''s smooth and delicate offensive was full of gorgeous colors, and Larson, who finally got the final word, ended the perfect attack with a violent aesthetic!


    "Millwall first knocked on the door of Real Madrid through a ground attack from the backcourt! This live attack screen very appropriately shot the entire process from aerial view, from Southgate to Schneider, which is from the right The offense launched by Lu shifted to the left, Ronaldinho and Zambrotta coordinated and moved to the middle. The final killer came from the right-winger Larson, and he was assisted by Pierre Luo, an elegant pick-up pass, is like a poem with a beautiful overall attack, advancing layer by layer, patiently and effectively tearing the defense of Real Madrid, but we have to say that the defensive ability of Pavin''s central defender needs to be strengthened In this level of competition, the pressure may further weaken his strength. His embarrassing rooftop hopes that it will not happen frequently, and the masters will overtake the trick. In fact, it is more stable than who plays, who will not make mistakes. When one party makes mistakes, The other party will definitely catch it!"


    Bosque was like an old monk, his expression didn''t change a bit, it just looked like a poker face.


    He knows that this ball will change all of Real Madrid''s established plans, and everything will enter an out-of-control orbit. Next, it is really only destiny.


    Superstars, it''s up to you!

 Chapter 778： Flying fairy outside the sky, if you fly, I will fly too!

    Before the battle with Real Madrid, Millwall actually prepared two sets of targeted arrangements, which will be implemented on the spot according to the opponent''s starting lineup.


    The first is the arrangement that just scored the goal, and the final fatal blow against Pavin, the biggest threat of attack will be launched in Pavin''s defense zone.


    The second is that Elgra replaces Pavin as the center defender, then Millwall will become a midfielder after the attack. After all, Makelele is not a god. Even if he plays well in Millwall, there is a Nedved retreat. The defensive contribution brought by the defense helps, so in Aldrich¡¯s mind, Makelele is very good, but not irreplaceable, but so far, he still can¡¯t find a successor to Nedved, whether it¡¯s Joe Cole, or It¡¯s Kaka. If Nedved retires to the second line in the future, Millwall¡¯s entire midfield and frontcourt system will change dramatically, because neither Kaka nor Joe Cole can bring Nedved¡¯s defensive effect. .


    Real Madrid pays more attention to defense than others. According to their configuration, the hidden danger may not be too great in the first-class contest, but when encountering a super-class opponent such as Millwall, one hidden danger will definitely affect the overall situation, and the other will go. To make up, then other loopholes will be exposed at other points. This is a flaw, and the way to change is to transfer to the market to make up.


    Larson''s goal completely pushed the game from the balance of the first 15 minutes to the extreme.


    Real Madrid has no retreat, there is no room for hesitation, ticking and ticking, time is passing, Millwall will not wait for them to figure out what to do and come back to the game.


    Attack!


    Real Madrid is a little slower, and after losing the ball, it also starts to lean towards the offense from the balance. The positions of Carlos, Salgado, Elgra, and the running route offensive investment can be seen intuitively. The forward pressure of the players in the backcourt can drive the forward players to push the offensive players more forward!


    In the 23rd minute, Ra¨²l was shot from the bottom line by Bout, Real Madrid got a corner kick, and Elguer scored a header higher than the beam!


    Two minutes later, Nedvide made a good pass to Henry in front of the penalty area. Henry hit the goal and was blocked by Jero.


    Millwall took a tactical corner kick and Ronaldinho directly hung the door at a 45-degree angle outside the penalty area!


    Casillas struggled to save the ball behind the goal, Carlos made a save!


    The scene suddenly became splendid. Both teams can quickly advance the offensive to the frontcourt, because both players have strong ball control skills. When defending, they dare not intercept every level, and the defense line backs, just Flexible movement near the line of the big forbidden zone.


    In the 29th minute, Real Madrid attacked from the right, Figo made a long pass transfer, Ra¨²l stopped the ball and passed the ball to Carlos on the side, Raul ran to the penalty area, and Carlos took the ball forward.


    Schneider consciously blocked Carlos'' bottom pass, because Real Madrid has high center Morientes, and the power to grab a spot in front of the door cannot be underestimated.


    But Carlos did not cut the card into the middle of the road according to the common sense, almost 35 yards away from the long-range heavy artillery!


    The football was extremely fast. Materazzi on the route didn''t react and was hit by a football directly in the chest.


    The tough guy Materazzi fell directly to the ground!


    After his first block, the ball bounced back and was shed some strength, but it still fell from the air. Outside the big penalty area, the ball that just bounced out did not land and was volleyed directly by Zidane with his left foot!


    The ball flew towards Millwall''s goal in an arc. Butt responded a little slower, because his attention was focused on Carlos'' long shot. The ball that bounced back suddenly rebounded again, and the angle was extremely tricky. He struggled to save and was unable to return to the sky.


    The ball flew into the upper left corner of the goal while rubbing the lower edge of the beam!


    Zidane, immortal!


    Thanks to Zidane, his arms were waving and his face was roaring. The Real Madrid team ran towards him, and Bernabeu''s passion was detonated again, boiling like water.


    "What a wonderful goal! Zidane made an incredible long shot to break the goal. He was less than 12 yards from Materazzi. During the rebound of the ball, he gave him the time to react and think. Less than 1 second, but he used his left foot to blast the ball into Millwall''s door, no stop, no adjustment, wonderful long shot!"


    Florentino looked better in the stands. He looked down on Arthur. When Millwall scored, Arthur stood up and twisted his big **** as if dancing, while Real Madrid scored. Thur whispered, "Shit!"


    Even if it''s really **** luck, you say it''s too much? And it''s a sound that can be heard by two or three people around.


    Like Florentino, with a slight smile, this is more aristocratic.


    Coach Bosque was also infected by Zidane''s goal and stood up with his assistant to yell.


    Aldridge watched Zidane score a long shot and froze for two seconds.


    Because from the position, as well as the trajectory of the shot, it looks like Zidane should have turned Leverkusen''s flying fairy in the final.


    However, after the sluggishness, he recovered his expression and a smile appeared on his face.


    You have to admit that this is the power of Real Madrid superstars!


    Real Madrid bought it at a high price, is it not in this seemingly not opportunity, but can bring a player?


    Aldridge came to the side and made a gesture to the players, reminding them to be more flexible, don''t be too brainy!


    The higher the level of the game, the greater the pressure, the player''s play, and the team''s overall play, are likely to fall into rigid thinking.


    To improve this, the head coach needs frequent on-site command.


    It¡¯s like if you see a top strong team always threatening your opponent with an offensive routine, it¡¯s likely that the players are too concentrated in fast-paced games, but you can¡¯t calm down and think, try to change the way of thinking and way. To threaten opponents.


    Aldridge has no worries, Millwall has a clear advantage.


    To be honest, the offenses of the two teams are super first-class. The two teams only talked about the defensive line, which is half a catty, but Millwall is more active and the defense is more integrated. Therefore, Millwall has a better defense than Real Madrid, and Real Madrid can¡¯t play. Straight through the threatened ball into the penalty area, and Millwall side, Henry can get a kick in the penalty area.


    Millwall''s first goal was to strike east and west, and the big force pressed against Jero, forcing Real Madrid to play defense in the waistline, thus exposing the empty side of Pavin.


    Aldridge gives players more flexibility, that is, they don''t always use a routine. Real Madrid loses the first ball and loses a lot of time. How can it be easy for you to make it again?


    In the 38th minute, Millwall launched a fatal offensive from Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho made a surprise attack and walked inside. Before reaching the danger zone, Real Madrid¡¯s two midfielders will not step forward to intercept. They dare not expose their backs. Free time.


    Nedved, Larsson, and Pirlo who assisted, all gathered near the Paven zone. The frightened Paven was almost hit by three directions. Elgra and Makelele saw it. The kid is about to collapse, and if Ronaldinho goes to the ball over there, they are likely to suffer again in this kid''s defense.


    So Makelele moved over to **** Pavin, Carlos also took it in, but Ronaldinho passed the ball to Henry at this time.


    Henry took the initiative to run back from the penalty area and opened a distance of more than two meters from Yero. He turned his back to Real Madrid goal. After Ronaldinho''s pass was delivered, Henry touched the ball with his toes and deliberately lifted the ball directly on the spot. When the ball was raised in front of him, Henry turned half-turned to swing his leg, and also came with a foot volley!


    Casillas is going crazy!


    Who are the people opposite?


    Larsson''s ball kept hitting the goal without stopping. It was just a matter of rushing to the ball landing point. After all, everything was ready. The top shooter didn''t say one hit and one accurate, but on the basis of normal play, he can play well. Volley hit the door.


    Henry stopped the ball on the spot and turned his back to the penalty area. He picked up the ball and turned back to hit the volley directly in the second half!


    Male gobi.


    By the time Casillas saw the ball, the ball had already flown almost 2/5 of the distance in the air and entered the big penalty area!


    He moved two steps to the left, then bowed his head helplessly.


    The ball crossed the arc, fell from the sky, and flew into the dead corner of the upper right corner of the goal like flying fire!


    The audience was silent and silent.


    What kind of opportunity is this?


    A forward outside the penalty area facing away from the goal, stopped the ball to pick it up, then half-turned and volleyed the ball into the opponent''s goal.


    There is no doubt that Henry''s ball can be comparable to Zidane''s goal just now.


    Flying fairy outside the sky, you fly, I fly


    "Henry scored an amazing goal with four seats! How did he do it? How did he do it? The ball was so easily and beautifully interpreted at his feet, the ball was picked up, half-turned and volleyed into the air. Goal! It is a battle of the century. Millwall and Real Madrid¡¯s superstars are showing their magic. They make the game beyond imagination! 2:1, the goal continues, Millwall temporarily leads!"


    Henry was caught by Ronaldinho without running two steps. Ronaldinho stroked his bald head and patted his chest constantly, as if admiring his god-level goal just now!


    Aldridge smiled wildly on the sidelines and shouted back to the coaching staff: "That''s right! This is what they want and what we and the fans want to see!"


    The members of the coaching staff who rushed out of the coach seat all understood the words of Aldridge, the excitement brought by this game, the scene of the game wide open, they can fully display Millwall''s offensive football, playing ordinary opponents, they think Is it possible to kick like this? Henry was surrounded by water, how could he have the opportunity to exert such ability?


    Not Real Madrid wanted to give Henry such a space, but they were forced into this situation by Millwall.


    What about 1:1?


    Real Madrid started from the first goal conceded. The goal of this game is not to win the match, but to win!


    Bosque regained his poker face, his face sinking like water.


    The Real Madrid stars stood in the kick-off formation. In fact, everyone knew what was the problem, but there was no way to say it, and it was useless. It would only make the team into a contradiction of blaming each other.


    This is a weakness of Parvin, and Hierro is also old. Henry went out, and Hierro did not keep up. Besides, he would hesitate to follow. Followed by Henry and then fold the line to the restricted area, 34-year-old Yero can keep up?


    Therefore, Real Madrid has a strong awareness of the two midfielders. In fact, the most important thing is that Real Madrid has insufficient back defense in the frontcourt. Who dares to accuse Zidane of not retreating to the penalty area to defend? Who can say that let Figo and Raul come back to give Ronaldinho some pressure?


    Even accusing Pavin is not good, people''s strength is like that, and it is not a malfunction. It is indeed not enough to compete at this level. If it is accused, it seems unreasonable.


    If Real Madrid can introduce one or two top guards, at least some people can not see the weakness, there will be problems with the integrity, at least stronger than now.

 Chapter 779： Meet in a narrow road

    It was already 40 minutes in the first half and Real Madrid was ready to kick off.


    Without looking at the expressions of Real Madrid''s generals, Aldridge knew Real Madrid would strive to equalize the score before the end of the first half.


    At this time, he gave the team a new command: Offense!


    Close to halftime, holding the 2-1 lead is a regular choice, but this is obviously not an ordinary game.


    Real Madrid''s offensive strength and weak defense, once madly invested in the attack, as long as Millwall blocks, then Millwall will go all out and Real Madrid may not be able to parry.


    The opponent will indeed be more offensive in these 5 minutes, which will bring Millwall defensive pressure, but relatively, the opponent''s defense will be further weakened.


    Now it¡¯s just a short encounter, no courage, thinking of holding on to victory, this is no longer Audric¡¯s style. In the past, he did have such a routine, but his growth and progress in the role of head coach in these years are also very obvious. of.


    That is fierce, bold, and adventurous!


    Is this a 90-minute battle against Real Madrid?


    No, in Aldrich''s eyes, the game may be divided into countless small sections, 10 minutes and 5 minutes. He must think and respond in every hour, and use all the factors that can be used!


    The offensive after Real Madrid kicked off was indeed very fierce.


    Due to the restart, Real Madrid went through a midfield organization and dispatched the ball, opened the formation, and when the offensive players not only ran into place and began to run without the ball waiting for a response, they began a fierce attack.


    Figo found Morrentes'' head over a 45-degree cross from the sideline. He deliberately withdrew to Raul for the ball, but Raul cleverly missed the ball. Zidane followed behind and faced Nedved''s snatch, Zidane pulled the ball and turned to avoid Nedved, Pirlo followed, and Zidane took advantage of a Marseille roundabout to break Pirlo.


    After completing these two escapes, Zidane no longer sticks the ball. After attracting Gattuso, Zidane passed the ball to the front of the defender line. Figone cut the ball and rubbed the far corner!


    boom!


    The ball bounced back on the goalpost and surprised Millwall''s cold sweat.


    Real Madrid''s ability to control the ball is indeed strong, and Zidane''s ability to create opportunities is also very strong. Nedved and Pirlo made the mistake of taking the initiative to rob him. A new elegant moment.


    The popped ball was obtained by the follow-up Elgra, he did not hesitate, but also shot from long range, but was directly confiscated by Bout.


    Bout held the ball all the way to the edge of the big penalty area. Millwall just passed a wave of danger and changed his usual team. At this time, it will definitely be stable, but Millwall is not!


    They didn¡¯t seem to be affected at all, ignoring Real Madrid¡¯s offensive threat. Bute rushed all the way to the top corner of the big penalty area, struggling to throw the ball, the ball flew precisely to the left, Zambrotta hugged Egypt in Bute Elgra''s long shot started to rush forward from the side, and at this time, his position to stop the ball was already in the center line!


    Real Madrid''s generals were horrified, they saw the picture that scared them!


    After Bout''s hand tossed the ball out, Nedved, Pirlo, are no longer in the front of the penalty area, Figo, Raul, Morientes, Zidane, and Elgra who assisted, clearly see this The two have already crossed the middle circle, they can only look at the back of Millwall''s offensive players, Millwall, like a crazy wolf pack, galloping in the half of Real Madrid.


    Salgado rushed up to intercept Zambrotta. Before he got close, Zambrotta distributed the ball to Ronaldinho who received it the closest. After taking the ball, Ronaldinho found that Makrele didn''t rush up to force him. A little disappointed. If Makelele rushes up, whether he breaks through or cooperates with others, the grasp is very high. Instead, the other side withdraws to increase the number of defenders in the danger zone.


    Ronaldinho controlled the rhythm, the speed was not too fast, and he was in the middle.


    The audience can see that Real Madrid''s large forces are rushing back from the back, and the distance between Ronaldinho and Ronaldinho is getting closer.


    Ronaldinho is waiting, waiting for Pirlo and Nedved.


    Nedved is faster than Pirlo, so when Nedved rushed from his left side, Ronaldinho observes Makelele''s choice. If Makelele goes to Nedved, he will speed up and get in from the middle. , But Makelele remained still.


    Ronaldinho was helpless. After Pirlo came up parallel to his position, Ronaldinho immediately passed the ball to Pirlo, and then rushed from the right side of Makelele. He did not believe that Makelele was still still.


    Sure enough, Makelele moved and went to Ronaldinho, Carlos came to seal Pirlo, Pirlo passed the ball again, and Schneider assisted in place.


    Schneider took the ball two steps towards the bottom line, and then passed the ball with a beautiful 45-degree pass!


    Carlos is not in position, the front point area should be Pavin''s defense zone, but Pavin is staring closely at Larson. After the pass came out, Pavin went to intercept the front point, obviously the distance was not enough, and the ball circled behind him. In the past.


    The middle road was supposed to be Hierro, but Hierro was also attracted to the back point by Henry.


    In the middle of the defense zone, someone hit the horse and hit the ball with a kick to send the ball into the goal!


    Casillas wanted to cry without tears.


    What kind of defense is this fucking!


    He spread his palms to signal to all the defensive players and opened his eyes to take a look!


    He, Nedved!


    He was in the middle, no one followed!


    Makelele was silent, there was nothing to say.


    If he went to Nedved at the beginning, Ronaldinho and Pirlo would penetrate the defense directly from the middle.


    Who is blaming for the ball?


    No one can blame.


    Who could have imagined that Millwall suddenly broke out of such a wave of offensive attacks?


    Even Schneider and Pirlo joined the track team.


    This is the choice that either I bombard you indiscriminately, or I can''t be attacked and defeated by you!


    The one that touched him most was Makelele. He regretted listening to his agent to persuade Real Madrid to choose.


    Here, success belongs to the offensive player, failure belongs to the defensive player, flowers and applause, the star in the spotlight is the offensive player, dirty and tired do not want to live, are all defensive players, and have not been recognized, even There is no sympathy, and often face unfair accusations.


    This line of defense does not say that old and old, young are difficult to entrust, and there are superstars in the frontcourt who are both worth and salary, yes, superstars!


    Superstars who are not defensive!


    The linebackers on the other side of the team rushed up and sent out assists. Where did our people die?


    If the goal is lost, the goalkeeper is complaining about the defense. What should the defensive player complain?


    No, this is their responsibility. The tradition left over from the ancient times on the football field, attacking in the front court, defending in the back court, scoring goals rely on the front court, throwing the ball and complaining about the back court.


    Casillas missed Makelele the most after Makelele left. Now that Makelele is still in Real Madrid, he misses Nedved.


    Just like the ball just now, if a Nedvide can rush back from the frontcourt, no matter whether he can successfully fight back, at least delay the attack of Millwall''s attack, how can this ball lose no resistance?


    Nedved, the only Nedved Applause and cry made them happy at this time.


    Bernab¨¦u began to boo.


    Florentino''s face was extremely ugly.


    He is actually very discerning. Under Real Madrid, every transfer and comprehensive commercial value is actually profitable. This is true for Zidane, as is the future Beckham. Of course, it is comprehensive. In view of the commercial value, simply talking about the value of competition, some transfers really make fans scold.


    Nedved, in the true sense, can see his iron man on both ends of the attack and defense. Florentino has offered to Millwall for two consecutive summers, but the answer is always only three words: not for sale.


    Florentino believes that there are no commodities that the football world can''t buy, only the quotations that can''t be obtained, such as Millworth for 100 million pounds. Yes, Real Madrid can buy it, but will Real Madrid really pay?


    The reality is that maybe Real Madrid has a strong attraction for 99% of the players, but in the Millwall array, many Florentino interested players have no interest in transferring to Real Madrid.


    Henry is one, Ronaldinho is one, Nedved is one, Larson is also, even Pirlo is not interested, this main attack group, Real Madrid''s most popular offensive player, Millwall''s main player, against the Royal Madrid''s seduce never answers with an ambiguity, only a slight smile and then no.


    Real Madrid has a lot of things that Millwall does not have, a glorious history, the indelible elegance of the White Army, a unique club cultural environment and domestic status, etc.


    But what Millwall now has is not what Real Madrid has. The passionate football style, the wild and domineering king''s temperament, bring the opponents fear and even desperate athletic strength, the splendid lion, not the royal Madrid can be built with money.


    1:3!


    Two games, 180 minutes, or 210 minutes, the first 45 minutes, the score is 1:3.


    A fan of the Bernabeu home team, Real Madrid fans around the world may smell the score of death.


    Bernabeu''s boos actually originated from the fear of being eliminated.


    "At the end of the first half of the game, the score is 1:3, Real Madrid behind two goals at home temporarily, the first half is splendid, but the battle of the century does not seem to be as balanced as people expected, with two golden **** and many stars Real Madrid seems to be unable to compete with the more overbearing Millwall at home. After Millwall scored the third goal, the live camera frequently switched between Hall and Bosque. The language of the lens seemed to tell us The enthusiasm of Hall in the game between the two coaches, he frequently dispatched on the sidelines, and Bosque was sitting still on the coach seat. In such a fierce and critical game, the role of the coach will be more important than usual. Real Madrid is not If the coach needs to adjust the command, can he compete against Millwall? The score tells us the fact that the home goal was scored three goals and the score was two goals behind. If Real Madrid cannot shorten the gap or equalize the score in the second half, the battle of the century may be in London There will be no suspense in the second half of the Lion King Stadium. We don¡¯t believe that a team can win forever. Millwall will definitely lose at the Lions Stadium at home one day, but the reality is so cruel that we can¡¯t believe it. There will be a team that can go to the Lion King Stadium in the near future to take away the victory from Millwall. If Real Madrid can¡¯t reverse the score in the second half, I believe that tomorrow¡¯s football headlines will fall to the ground and think that Millwall will reach the final for the third consecutive year. It is not 45 minutes plus 90 minutes or 120 minutes that will be left for Real Madrid. It may be only 45 minutes."

 Chapter 780： Conquered risk

    During the intermission, Aldridge and his coaching staff smoked a cigarette in the corridor. When they smoked, their hands shivered involuntarily. That was the physical instinct of excitement and excitement.


    Millwall played against Real Madrid in the Champions League final and semi-final, but it is clear that today¡¯s Real Madrid is the strongest Real Madrid on the card. In this century, five Golden Ball players plus many first-class stars In the war, personally participate in it, no one can not be excited when the score is leading.


    After smoking, Aldridge turned to the locker room, and the coaching staff followed him.


    When he came to the locker room door, Aldridge held the door handle and pushed the door, but did not push it away. After taking two shots, he pulled back and lifted his legs to kick the door!


    Maybe there was something wrong with the door lock, but Aldridge was in a state of extreme excitement at this time, and could not care so much, Sven? Sorry, his gentleness has always been pretended, and he is a barbarian in his bones, but he just slashed the price, and at this moment it was a little bit of the momentum of the original.


    "Wow oh oh oh, calm down, calm down."


    Seeing Aldrich want to kick the door, Klinsmann and Jenson pulled him from left to right, Aldridge seemed to recover, and smiled at them.


    It''s a bit forgetful, but this is Bernabeu, not the Lion King Stadium.


    If Real Madrid sent him a bill for compensation after the game, the money was a trivial matter, but the behavior was disqualified.


    Boas knocked on the door, and then someone opened the door from the inside. Boas tried the door lock. Sure enough, there was a problem. He shouted to the staff who stood in the corridor and witnessed Audridge lifting his leg to kick the door: " Hello, there are some problems with this lock. Remember to fix it, it''s not that we broke it."


    After all, the Millwall coaching staff walked into the locker room one after another, and then slammed the door shut, bang, the door lock was completely broken...


    In the first half of the game, Real Madrid played a 3-1. Millwall players were also very excited. They cleaned their shoes and jerseys while talking enthusiastically about the first half.


    When Aldridge walked in, he walked directly to the tactical board, thumped, and slapped his hand on the tactical board before turning around and throwing a voice: "Forget the score, forget the first half! Today I have no requirements for you There is only one hope, I hope you enjoy the game, I hope you can enjoy the passion and fun from it. I don¡¯t care what kind of game you play in the second half. The only thing I care about is whether you enjoy it, the European Championship? We have already I got 3 seats, but today we met the most powerful Real Madrid in recent years. Outside said that this game is a battle of the century, we will enjoy such a rare game. If you can give me a copy Gifts, I will thank you!"


    The players stood up and smiled and asked in unison: "What?"


    Aldridge took a deep breath, revealing a slightly grinning smile, and said with a deep voice: "Conquer Bernabeu!"


    The players looked at each other, and a deafening roar erupted immediately.


    "no problem!"


    ...


    At the side of the second half, Aldridge exuded a murderous all over his body, his eyes were sharp and godly, he stood on the side of the court and stared up at the stadium, and he showed the momentum and appeal alone. the taste of.


    As for what he said to let the players enjoy themselves, what kind of game play does not care, it does not mean that the players will be kicked. The overall high tactical setting is arranged before coming, according to their current competitive state and game awareness, Aldridge has confidence in them. Under suitable circumstances, such as today''s game situation, Millwall has a very high fault tolerance rate.


    Real Madrid trailed 1:3. In other words, even if Real Madrid scored two goals in the second half, they would certainly not be satisfied. At least three goals had to be scored and Millwall would not be scored.


    In such a game situation, Aldridge gives the players a higher degree of freedom, let go of their hands and feet, and play hard in the second half!


    "We looked back at the first half at halftime, and fate was a bit cruel to Real Madrid. If Figo''s shot at the last half of the first half was not hitting the goal post, but was shot into the goal, then the score would be 2 :2, but not 1:3, but that¡¯s football. Now let¡¯s see if Real Madrid can come back from the cliff in the second half and hope to win the Champions League final."


    As soon as the second half came up, Real Madrid was about to launch an offensive, but Millwall instead pressed up!


    With Pirlo as the commander, he knew that Real Madrid would attack and Millwall did the opposite. He continued to beat his opponent and couldn''t catch it!


    Real Madrid players'' heads are in a daze. What''s wrong?


    They were supposed to equalize the score as soon as possible, but the opponent was more aggressive than them. The momentum seemed to be Millwall, not Real Madrid, two goals behind.


    Even Bernab¨¦u''s home fans have lost their spirits, thinking that the two sides wore the wrong shirts.


    This is Bernabeu!


    How can the white army be suppressed by the blue mad lion?


    And it''s when the score is behind!


    Millwall fans were thrilled, and the power of the crazy lion was very intuitive, suppressing Real Madrid to attack wildly!


    The fan organization veteran, now a millionaire, Brady still chooses to stand with his buddies to watch the ball. During the intermission, Saul went to the toilet. When he came back late, Brady was excited to see him come back. He shouted at him: "Where have you been? Look, look at your eyes wide open, our mad lion broke down today!"


    In the 51st minute, Henry tried a long shot in the penalty area and was blocked by Casillas. Larsson grabbed the ball and passed the ball back to Pirlo. Millwall reorganized the attack.


    Makelele and Elgra are not only in the lower back today, but also always retreat to the back line. On the defensive end, the two are almost everywhere, and their shadows can be seen everywhere.


    But their two legs still couldn''t keep up with the transfer rate of Millwall''s offense.


    After 1 minute, Ronaldinho and Nedvide swapped positions. Ronaldinho sent an exquisite straight in front of the penalty area. Nedved rushed into the penalty area before Yero turned around, but this time the angle was a little small, he handled the ball first. One option is to cross the far end, Casillas has opened the goal wide, and Larson on the other side also broke through Paven''s defense, but before Larson shot, Marklele took the lead in flying one step away. The shovel sweeps the ball to the sideline.


    Makelele may have just released the ball, and the ball fell to Carlos. Millwall''s offensive player immediately ran back to defend.


    Nedved is the most desperate to run, Carlos does not stick the ball, directly passes the ball to the midfield.


    After Zidane got the ball all the way forward, Real Madrid''s counterattack can be said to be no longer perfect. Not only did Millwall attack directly after the end of the attack, but the ball was transferred very quickly, and Millwall was not given any chance to create a tactical foul!


    Gattuso stepped back and forth, the full-back also closed to the middle of the penalty area, and the Millwall back line tried to compress the space.


    Before and after coming to the penalty area, Gattuso was ready to block Zidane head-on. He wouldn''t force him to wait, just wait for Zidane to move. Zidane was strong to get rid of the spot, that is, post-control. It was equal to a slow shot for him, but Zidane¡¯s frontal breakthrough would be a bit slower than his ability to get rid of. Because of the lack of speed, even if Gattuso can¡¯t grab the ball, can he foul? Is it okay to haunt Zidane? After holding him for half a second, his teammates came up to assist him again, and also gave time to the teammates who returned to defense.


    However, Zidane also clearly knew that if he broke through head-on, he would inevitably encounter resistance, or the ball would be too good or caught in a siege, so when he was two meters away from Gattuso, he distributed the ball to Figo .


    During Real Madrid''s halftime break, it was clear that there was a new tactical arrangement for the forward position.


    Before Zidane scored, Figo pressed on the left side of the penalty area, staring at Schneider and Materazzi''s defense zone, but Morientes and Raul pressed both Southgate and Zambro. In the defense zone on the side of the tower, the distribution of players is not even, but it has the advantage of concentrated attack.


    Figo did not play cards according to common sense after taking the ball. Instead of going forward, he took a step back and moved from left to right in parallel from behind Zidane. Gattuso followed Zidane closely, but found Zida Inner ball actually completed a cross-position with Figo. Schneider and Materazzi, who had originally marked Figo, were attracted by Figo''s dribbling route.


    While Figo dribbling laterally, Materazzi took a step outwards, and Schneider also took a step inwards. Between the electric flints, Southgate was shocked because he found that Raul was not there. Now!


    Nedvide has already reached the front of the penalty area, and it seems that he will form a subsequent steal defense against Figo, but Figo will pass the ball a step faster, which has compressed the Millwall defense of the space in the penalty area. Perhaps, just that There was a gap, but Figo caught it and passed a deadly scalpel pass!


    From the right to the left, the ball slashed and pierced Millwall''s defense very penetratingly.


    Looking at the direction of the ball rolling, the Millwall defense looked back. Raul appeared behind Schneider and Matera, led the ball, and then rubbed the ball with his right foot to hit the far corner of the goal.


    His starting position is on the line of the small penalty area, so close, even if Bout reacts, he will hit the far corner, but he can only make an instinctive move. Then, he does not touch the ball, or he throws out It''s too late.


    The ball spins strongly inside the goal!


    After Ra¨²l scored, Millwall¡¯s defenders collectively raised their hands to indicate that he was offside, but the lineman did not show the slightest sign that the flag had been drooping, and the referee whistled his finger in the middle circle to indicate that the goal was valid.


    Even from the slow-motion view, when Raul passed the pass in Figo, the passing moment was indeed parallel to the Millwall guard line.


    Raul didn''t celebrate, he didn''t even laugh, he calmly picked up the ball from the goal and quickly ran to the backcourt.


    "Real Madrid quickly pulled back a goal in the second half, 2:3, they destroyed Millwall''s defense with a lightning counterattack, Figo''s lateral dribbling disturbed the Millwall''s defense, Raul''s running position was very concealed, Figo¡¯s passing is also exquisite, this goal is beautiful!"


    Aldridge smiled a bit bitterly, which was probably the risk he must take in pursuit of magnificence.


    Real Madrid''s counterattack hit quickly and windy, Carlos passed the ball in the backcourt, Zidane advanced the ball, Figo laterally dribble disrupted the defense and then sent a fatal pass, Raul made a final decision, and only Figo was the one in the middle. The link has been adjusted.


    Originally, Millwall would have made such a counterattack easily, with a 3-1 lead. As long as the defense was shrunk, Real Madrid came to fight the positional battle, then Millwall''s counterattack did not dare to say that one fight was accurate, at least to make Real Madrid''s restricted area buzz.


    But Aldridge has no regrets, no regret at all.


    Century Wars, such a game, not to mention the player, he is the coach, maybe this will be once in a lifetime, maybe in the future will come to the Bernabeu, but the real players of Real Madrid, it is estimated that there are very few chances to see such a game again. It will be difficult to support Real Madrid for at least ten years. As for the Galaxy warships in the next two years, it will be too unbalanced and the overall combat power will not rise but fall.


    Conquering the Bernabeu is more than just winning the game.


    It is not just a technical or tactical defeat of the opponent, but to defeat Real Madrid at a higher level. Maybe it cannot be done, but Aldridge is willing to try and give all Millwall players a chance to let them There will be no regrets, and when we think about this game, we just say with a very rational attitude: We seized Real Madrid''s weaknesses and then beat them.


    No, conquest means that in all aspects, even the advantages of Real Madrid, Millwall must be fully surpassed!

 Chapter 781： freed

    After throwing the ball, Southgate immediately whispered to Zambrotta. They are not afraid of Real Madrid playing a positional battle. They are afraid of Real Madrid¡¯s counterattack. Real Madrid fights back. It has both organizational master Zidane and personal ability. Figo, who created opportunities, coupled with high center Morientes and Smart Raul, Millwall is still not enough even if he compresses the defensive space in the backcourt, because you will always lose someone in a flash, even with To beat the opponent''s rhythm, we still have to constantly adjust and constantly switch between the target.


    The back line cannot be completely man-to-man. The most important thing is the region. To perform man-to-man defense on the basis of regional defense, Southgate will have to withdraw to play a drag, which is equivalent to a scavenger. If there was a scavenger just now, Someone can keep up with Raul''s position.


    Southgate is to let Zambrotta come back to the center. If he is counterattacked again, Zambrotta is the central defender. This must be clearly communicated face-to-face between the teammates and the responsibilities must be confirmed, otherwise the defense zone will not be clear.


    As for why not telling Schneider this, the reason is clear. Schneider''s body, the central defender is really choking, especially if you want to defend Morientes one-on-one, it is really crushed by all directions and can be opponents. Carrying away, restricting the opponent''s high center to stop the ball in the penalty area and making the ball are the basic requirements for defending such centers. Zambrotta is obviously more reliable than Schneider.


    2:3!


    Millwall also leads by one goal. Players on the court are not frustrated about losing the ball. Even if they are now one goal behind, it will not have much impact. On the contrary, they only have a stronger intention.


    Was hit with a fatal counterattack!


    Then try to make the other party not even get a chance to fight back!


    After the kick-off, Henry retreated from the striker line. He found that the more he was at the front, the easier it was to give Real Madrid the opportunity to accurately place two lower backs. On the contrary, when he rushed forward from the lower back line in the attack, It is easier to create chaos for Real Madrid''s defense.


    Real Madrid pulled a ball back, and the morale was greatly boosted. After restarting the ball, they pushed forward and tried to pull the score back with a bang, but Millwall pushed them back!


    Millwall once again entered the rhythm of suppressing Real Madrid, and because of Henry''s retreat, Millwall''s attack was more controllable. On the contrary, Real Madrid''s pressure to return to the frontcourt was not enough, causing Millwall to continue to destroy Real Madrid. Defensive player''s nerves.


    Makelele and Elguera frequently make up positions, and the range of activities is very large. The positive meaning is to protect Real Madrid''s defense, and the negative impact is physical problems. In particular, Elguer has to go from time to time to attack.


    In the 59th minute, Nedved nearly made a long-range shot through Real Madrid''s door. Casillas staged a god-level save. After his save was completed, Larson nearly intercepted the ball from Pavin''s foot and was scared. Pavin drove the ball out of the baseline.


    After this corner kick, the referee suspended the game and signaled for a substitution on the sidelines.


    "After 60 minutes of the game, Millwall first made a substitution adjustment. Larson, the veteran who opened the first record for Millwall, was replaced. Klose, who replaced him, Klose with more physical energy will increase. Pressure on Real Madrid''s defence."


    Larson''s 60 minutes can be said to be very **** both ends of the attack and defense, weakening Carlos'' assists is his biggest contribution to the defense.


    On the end, Aldridge celebrated with his high-five.


    60 minutes, the game is about to reach a watershed stage, and this substitution is also a signal.


    Millwall has changed!


    Even if Nedved is an iron man, in this level of competition, it is impossible to completely balance both offensive and defensive ends in 90 minutes, just like the counterattack and lost the ball. As long as Real Madrid plays fast enough, Nedved does not have time to return to defense, so After changing to Klose, Nedved retreated from the midfield, the commentator, and even the Real Madrid coaching staff thought that Millwall''s replacement of Klose was a substitution and Klose came on the court. Will play as a winger or center, in fact, Klose is taking over the position of Nedved, he will take the front waist.


    In addition, there is a change in the position of a player that he knows.


    Ronaldinho.


    In the first 60 minutes, Ronaldinho was actually playing, he hardly entered the penalty area, did not go to grab points, did not try to let go of the speed and rushed to rush, just completed the work of coordinating or local scheduling, even he The first 60 minutes are not like a winger, classic or modern, neither are they more like traditional wing forwards.


    This is what Aldridge emphasized before the game. Ronaldinho¡¯s time will be the last 30 minutes. This substitution, the signal to Ronaldinho: It¡¯s your turn, let it go!


    This arrangement was conceived. First, the offensive core shifted from Henry and Larson to Ronaldinho, so that the opponent could not keep up with the conversion rhythm. Secondly, Ronaldinho''s reserved physical energy began to be released, but the physical performance of Real Madrid''s rear line began to enter a steep decline due to the back and forth of the first 60 minutes. Third, as time goes on, Real Madrid will be more irritable and will invest more aggressively, and the defensive space will be greater. Ronaldinho needs space.


    After Klose played, Bosque was really confused for a while.


    Klose is active in the middle of the penalty area, Henry has a larger range of activities, but tends to be on the right. He thought Klose was playing center, but after watching for 3 minutes, he realized that Millwall may have played 451.


    It''s just that the idea disappeared after 4 minutes.


    Millwall strengthened the midfield, and Nedved''s retreat caused Real Madrid to face defensive pressure on the offensive end, both in position and counterattack.


    In the 67th minute, Zambrotta intercepted the ball from Figo''s feet. Figo wanted to reappear, but Zambrotta grabbed the ground unscrupulously after the drag of Southgate. Figo observed his teammates running. Inadvertently, the ball was lost.


    After Zambrotta steals the ball, he passes straight to Nedved, who runs forward. Nedved sees Elgra come and grabs. He half-turns and sweeps the ball forward.


    Ronaldinho took the ball on the left, he immediately started to kill in the penalty area, cut in.


    When Makelele stood in front of his route, Ronaldinho''s feet were getting faster and faster, and then made two consecutive bicycle steps at two meters from Makelele.


    Makelele lowered his center of gravity and guessed where the opponent would change to break through. He decided not to move and wait until Ronaldinho turned back and then turned back to the card position.


    But after the two bicycles were stepped on, Ronaldinho suddenly stopped at the same place. Makelele froze, and saw the ball rolling towards him, rolling from behind his legs to his back!


    "Has Ronaldinho started to explode? It can be clearly seen that his rhythm after touching the ball has a contrast with the previous one. He stepped on the bicycle and wore his crotch, even though he used this trick to wear the crotch. Human skills are not as good as that of Argentinian Buccini, but every time he sees him doing this, he still feels pleasing and can''t help applauding him."


    Makelele looked back, but saw Klose stopped the ball, Makelele went to grab Klose, Klose passed the ball diagonally, Makelele was shocked: Two over the wall!


    In fact, Makelele should be able to clearly realize that Ronaldinho will cooperate with Klose, but he was put on the crotch, which is a disgraceful aspect on the court. Luo Ze, waiting for Klose to pass the ball, he regretted it, too late.


    Ronaldinho got the ball again in front of the penalty area. At this time, there were Yero and Salgado preparing to contain him. Ronaldinho suddenly turned his head and looked to the left.


    Salgado subconsciously looked down his line of sight, thinking that someone on the Millwall side came with an assist. When he looked around, he found that his right side was empty.


    And Hierro did not know the situation of Salgado. He grabbed Ronaldinho, even if he could not grab it, if Ronaldinho had passed him, Salgado could also make up the position and then grab!


    But Ronaldinho passed the ball again. Makelele lost Ronaldinho before, so he couldn''t lose Klose anymore, so he was wearing Klose, afraid he would go and grab Ronaldinho, Klose before Inserting it can directly hit the door, so Klose actually dragged Makelele, there is not much space before Makelele and the defender line, and Ronaldinho''s ball is from this gap Passed across the corridor.


    "Oh, what Parvin is doing, Henry easily led the ball in front of him and then took the lead. This rush directly into the penalty area, Ronaldinho''s ability to pass left and right is really more It¡¯s easier to come by, let us vaguely see the style of Laudrup who played this trick fascinatingly."


    Henry threw the poor Pavin behind him, rushing forward with absolute speed advantage, leading the ball into the ball in one go, he rushed past Pavin, and Pavin turned around again, too late.


    Casillas also knew that Pavin was not reliable in this game, so as soon as Henry entered the penalty area, Casillas directly abandoned the door, there is nothing to hesitate.


    Henry was even simpler. Casillas just ran three steps and Henry passed the ball to the far end of the goal.


    Ronaldinho ran into position and even dumped Yero directly. In front of him, an empty door was opening.


    The ball rolls over, Ronaldinho supports with his right foot, and his left foot wraps around the outside of his right foot. With a smart and beautiful leg, he pulls the ball into the goal. This action, he will occasionally perform when he passes. Valdo and Maradona are often used, and Millwall''s supernova Cristiano Ronaldo will also use it when playing tricks.


    But he dared to shoot in the Bernabeu and used this action in this level of competition. Only Ronaldinho. Of course, he was empty in front of him. No one around him put pressure on him to defend. However, this still requires strong psychological qualities. Smashing, but it''s not just that the empty door doesn''t go in and is cited as a laughing stock.


    After scoring, Ronaldinho and the first three goalkeepers celebrated completely different actions, he just ran slowly to the sidelines, and then made a relieved sweating action, showing a smile, and then began to jump Samba dance.


    "Huh, hold back for more than sixty minutes, it''s finally my turn."

 Chapter 782： pay tribute

    Bernabeu fell into a silence, in addition to the away Lion fans celebrating for the goal, there were applause from the stands.


    "What happened in this series? Ronaldinho first stepped on the bike and passed the ball from Makelele''s legs to Klose. After matching, he then passed the ball to Henry by looking at the left pass and right. Finally, outstretching the ball with a fancy leg in front of the goal and shooting the ball into the goal is a shocking performance. He combines elegance and practicality completely. Every technical action has a strong purpose and is confusing. The opponent''s defense line does not lack the role of driving the team. This is Ronaldinho. As the outside world believes, Millwall will be the fourth Mr. Golden Ball in the future!"


    Teammates watched Ronaldinho dancing a samba dance and couldn''t help but smile. This is a pure enjoyment. Seeing Ronaldinho''s magical performance, you can forget many things, as if there were no smoke on the field, but a white snow in the spring.


    Bosque''s expression changed, wiping the sweat on his face, and he roared in his heart: Millwall is playing 442!


    He thought it was 451, in fact not, and certainly not 433, Nedvide withdrew to play in the midfield, Klose played the midfielder, Ronaldinho and Henry were the forwards, from the previous attack, running forward and two points In the distribution, Klose''s position is the front waist, not the forward. In contrast, Ronaldinho, all the way into the penalty area, he is the forward!


    Ronaldinho, who hadn¡¯t penetrated into the restricted zone before and threatened him, basically acted on the frontline and occasionally swapped with Nedved. Now, he suddenly entered the restricted zone and became a final striker. The role change made Real Madrid unprepared. Not to mention Ronaldinho''s performance in this process played a very intuitive role of defensive and deceptive defense, Klose well completed the response, containment, disturbance, and peripheral control from time to time.


    "The score is already 2:4. If Millwall withdraws to fight against the counter-attack at this time, it may be that Real Madrid will not have any chance and even have a higher risk of losing the ball.


    Aldridge did not let the team back. In the century of war, he will never retreat and will not shrink back to fight back. He will defeat Real Madrid with a bullish attitude in Bernabeu!


    As for Real Madrid to fight the anti-anti, you can, whatever they want, if Real Madrid can reverse in this way, Aldridge does not regret it.


    But at this time, how dare Bosk order the team to play defensive counterattack!


    Real Madrid''s current configuration is by no means the best configuration for anti-counterattack. Raul, Morientes, Zidane, Figo. If four people do not defend, what is a defensive counterattack? If you go to defense, who will go? Who wants to do the dirty work? Retreat and kill again, only Raul and Figo have such physical strength and speed.


    Florentino bought Figo and Zidane, not to let Real Madrid fight against, and Real Madrid members are not in the stands to appreciate how Real Madrid defends firmly and then fights back. Otherwise, why bother Capello Taiwan?


    Real Madrid stars know that this matter has no retreat and can only fight!


    Carlos and Salgado also rushed directly to play as wingers!


    After the kick-off, Real Madrid relied on Zidane to create an advantage in the midfield. Why is Zidane a master who is not born? Another thing is the psychological quality. The simple game cannot bring him pressure, even at this time. , He is still able to skillfully control the ball and squeeze the rhythm with great enthusiasm, instead of advancing like an inexperienced young man. Of course, excluding the pressure and stimulation of competitive factors may affect him, otherwise he will not be in his career. Not a small number of red cards and malicious fouls were left in the game. The golden ball lost to Figo in the past was actually a negative impact of his foul storm.


    Real Madrid has invested in the number of offenses, and every attack will play more patiently, resulting in constant danger in front of Millwall, but also makes Millwall more prestige when playing fast breaks.


    Every time Millwall attacked, someone at the midfield line or two full-backs would rush up, and fans on the scene would see the windy Schneider or Zambrotta rushing up bravely, becoming an unexpected offensive response point.


    Ronaldinho and Henry, in fact double forwards, one left and one right, can detonate a wave of live passion when dribbling forward. Although Henry''s breakthrough technology is not fancy, his ability is unquestionable.


    He will use the rhythm changes in the dribbling process to shake the defensive player''s breakthrough, and then quickly change the direction to make a breakthrough.


    Makelele is absolutely desperate today. When the Real Madrid full-backs can''t go back and forth, he has always been silent. He directly led the defense line and commanded the central defender. Hierro is experienced and does not need Makeleledo to say that the key It was a bruise caused by his age, which was irreparable, mainly because of Pavin.


    Therefore, in defense, sometimes seeing Real Madrid respond to Millwall''s fast break, in fact, put out a three-back, Makelele and Pavin intercepted in parallel, Yero dragged behind.


    They didn''t dare to rob, grab one, lose one position, grab one, got one, there weren''t many people defending, who would dare to make mistakes!


    In this way, Pavin was still eaten hard by Henry twice. Henry shot himself and was blocked by Casillas. Another opportunity was to return to Klose, but unfortunately he followed up and went far away from the top of the arc. Klose shot also blasted the ball.


    Ronaldinho was tormenting Makelele''s madness. Ronaldinho could return Klose under the bottom. Cross dribbling with Henry could also swing out of the shot. Millwall in 10 minutes There were 8 shots from inside, which was 3 more than Real Madrid''s mad attack.


    In the 81st minute, Real Madrid seized Millwall''s defense line and made a mistake. Salgar took the ball from the sidelines. Morientes nodded the ball and threw his head to throw the ball into the goal.


    This was Real Madrid''s counterattack, so Zambrotta closed to the middle, worried that the other side penetrated through the middle, Zidane scored, Salgado crossed without interference, and Morientes rushed from the left. In the front right, Southgate dragged to the end. He and Morientes grabbed the same point, but Morientes headed the ball into the near corner of the goal, and then Southgate hit the opponent. In his head, Southgate''s brow bone ruptured and blood flowed.


    "Real Madrid recovered another goal, narrowed the score to one goal, and Millwall captain Southgate was injured when he was heading for the header, the team doctor was bandaging his wounds on the sidelines, and Hall was ready to make a substitution. Adjustment, this is an insurance practice, okay, we confirmed that Neil will play to replace Southgate, and Pirlo is replaced, Alonso comes on, and all three Millwall substitutions are used up. Real Madrid is still standing still."


    Bosque wanted to make a substitution, but who was removed? The back defense is unmanned. The players in the frontcourt can''t move, and Morientes can move, but they just scored a goal and replaced others. Can they play a bigger role than him?


    Southgate was accompanied by the team doctor to the Millwall coach. He reluctantly said to Audridge: "Boy, I''m fine, I can continue the game with a bandage."


    Aldridge made a pressure to him, saying: "We have another game."


    Southgate shrugged and said nothing more. He sat down and took the towel from Larson to wipe the blood on his face and clothes.


    The game came to the final stage, both teams struggled to keep up with their physical strength, especially Real Madrid, the frontcourt began to receive low-level errors.


    Millwall''s overall physical strength has dropped because of three players on the field, but it is still clearly full of energy in part.


    The atmosphere of Bernabeu was already very tense at this time.


    Real Madrid fans hope that the team can at least equalize the score, better than losing!


    But in the last ten minutes, Millwall completely ruled the game!


    Alonso came on the court, with Nedvide assisting him. His physical strength and obvious tough style than Pirlo helped Millwall sort out the midfield.


    Aldridge is pleased that Alonso has made significant progress in the past two months. In the game against Bayern Munich, he was bullied in the midfield more miserably, but today it is completely new.


    If you think about it, it may be related to the pressure on him. Bayern Munich''s midfield and frontcourt defense hardness and pressure are incomparable to Real Madrid. Real Madrid is more talented than Bayern, but Bayern is more fierce than Real Madrid!


    Bernabeu booed again at this time, bigger and harsher than before.


    Since it has lasted more than 5 minutes, Real Madrid has not had a decent attack!


    Hastily released the defense, defended in a panic, the defense line was crumbling, and the offensive could not be pushed forward.


    This is unacceptable to fans.


    Millwall did not deliberately delay the time, attacking tirelessly, the wave of attack was higher than the wave.


    In the 89th minute, Klose passed the ball diagonally and Henry was intercepted midway. Elgra took the ball and strode the meteor forward. However, under the interference of Nedved, he did not form a pass between Zidane and Zidane. Zidane thought For a foot kick, Elgra passed an advance, the ball was cut off by Alonso, Alonso quickly passed the ball to Klose in front, Klose backed Maclele and knocked the ball horizontally .


    Real Madrid wanted to hit a counterattack. The full-back was rushing up, and Millwall returned the attack halfway. At this time, the full-back was not in position.


    Ronaldinho received the Klose pass and pressed the opponent''s defense straight. The 34-year-old veteran Jero ran for 90 minutes. At this time, his physical fitness was exhausted. When Ronaldinho used a sling-tail in front of him, Jero''s center of gravity was shaken. Luo easily broke past him.


    Ronaldinho, who scored in the penalty area, reported to Lee and passed behind Parvin. Henry rushed and volleyed without stopping the ball!


    Casillas made a save, but blocked the ball back to the goal.


    Ronaldinho looked at the ball falling from the air and suddenly felt crying and laughing.


    He attracted Casillas, and then kindly sent an assist to Henry, but Henry kicked the ball on Casillas, the angle was too positive, and now the ball flew back.


    "Uh, don''t you, forget it, let me do it."


    boom!


    Ronaldinho swings his legs as if he were training, volleying the ball and sending the ball into the empty goal in front of him, almost exactly the same as his first goal.


    After scoring, Ronaldinho looked at Henry with a playful smile, Henry smiled bitterly in the sky, and then ran to hug Ronaldinho.


    "The eighth goal! The battle of the century, the goal battle! Millwall scored the fifth goal of the game, Ronaldinho scored twice, Henry had the chance to break the goal, Ronaldinho has been assisted by mistakes, and the biggest credit for this goal is in Ronaldinho himself. His wonderful bullfighting tail has completely deceived Yero, this will It¡¯s an unforgettable game for fans, now it¡¯s injury time, I don¡¯t know if there will be another goal."


    Most of Bernabeu¡¯s home team fans were serious, but stood up and applauded. The applause grew louder and louder, like thunder and enduring.


    Millwall today''s game, whether you want to see the beauty of the team''s cooperation, or the wonderfulness of personal technology, you can be satisfied, speed, passion, delicate, smooth, gorgeous, various elements on this team Can be found.


    Real Madrid fans have noble pursuits, as well as noble styles, that is to applaud the king, which has to be admired.


    They will not die because of Millwall''s driving Real Madrid into the abyss.


    The first half of the Century War is about to come to an end. At the Battle of Bernabeu, Millwall conquered the place. Tens of thousands of Real Madrid fans stood up and applauded to this contemporary European football king team!

 Chapter 783： How can it not be strong?

    Bernabeu''s applause raged, the more so, the more Florentino was dull.


    Summer is coming, Real Madrid has already begun to prepare for the summer signing, Florentino also has a short time to move the Real Madrid striker. The first name on the striker list is Henry, and the second name is She Fuchenko, but today''s game gave Florentino a little hesitation. Obviously, Real Madrid did not lose in the number of goals.


    As long as a team has lost 5 goals in a single game, no one can ignore this, and will not think that the defense is okay, but the offensive end is not strong, and failed to score more than 5 goals.


    What is the difference between Real Madrid and Millwall? Is it offensive or defensive? Maybe both, because offensive and defensive is a whole, there is no solid defense as a support, how to talk about offense?


    Real Madrid wants Zidane, Figo, Raul to play the piano elegantly and gorgeously in the frontcourt, so at least to ensure that there are a sufficient number and quality of hard-working players in the midfield and backcourt to lift the piano!


    At the last minute of injury stoppage time, Real Madrid''s big pressure almost lost the ball again.


    Alonso''s accurate long pass in the backcourt, there is huge space in the frontcourt, Henry single-handedly killed the opponent''s penalty area, but he was obviously exhausted and his speed could not be improved. Before the penalty area he chose to pass back and planned to give the ball to the g Luo Ze, but he did not do well in technical moves, the pass was not in place, Makelele intercepted the ball thrilling midway, otherwise Real Madrid will be beaten by Millwall again before the end of the game.


    "At the end of the match, in the first round of the Champions League semi-finals, defending champion Millwall scored a 5:3 score in the Bernabeu with a strong stance. This score can almost declare Real Madrid''s death sentence. I am afraid that no one who is optimistic will find it. The basis for supporting Real Madrid to go to the Lion King Stadium.


    There are many problems exposed by Real Madrid in the game. For example, when they are attacking and defending, especially from the offense to the defense, the front and back are seriously disconnected. They may not be seen in other games, but they compete with the team of Millwall. Millwall''s offensive advancement speed magnified Real Madrid''s defensive weaknesses. Another example is Real Madrid''s defender line. Hierro is too old to ask him more. Given the space for his opponent, he is difficult to parry, while Pavin has more problems, experience, ability, the two most important At the level of the game, he is difficult to compete in this level of competition. Millwall has at least 2 goals to open the gap from him. He has an unshirkable main responsibility for the disastrous performance of the Real Madrid defense system.


    The defending champion Millwall has done a good job, although they have lost 3 more goals, one is placed on them very exaggerated single goals, but Real Madrid''s offensive system is very strong, we must admit this , Zidane¡¯s super volley volley, Figo caught the almost invisible pass in the counterattack when Raul broke the goal, and Morrentes¡¯s only scoring header in the penalty area was a clever, Millwall''s defense has no obvious flaws, but in the gap between adjustment, movement, and blinking, Real Madrid may create a chance to break the goal. At the same time, we must realize that Millwall''s persistent attack on the road, this It is also the fatal reason for the high number of goals conceded. In any case, we look forward to a week later in London. The two sides will fight again for 90 minutes. 120 minutes of overtime may not be realistic, but the closing part of the second half of the century is worthy of our expectations. "


    At the end of the game, Aldridge walked to shake hands with Bosque. The Millwall star tried to find a yellow horse star for a jersey, but all were rejected. The Real Madrid star did not even have a mood to talk. They They left the court hurriedly, and this ball made them play very depressing, painful, and a huge blow!


    I think Real Madrid is already very strong this season. Although the league has not been able to win the championship like last season, it is because Real Madrid¡¯s double-line battle, the player team is really not enough to support such consumption, and a single match with the UEFA The king of the altar team competed, but lost a 3:5 at home, the gap is too obvious!


    Even if they win a small goal, it may only show that the two teams are close in strength. Instead, they lost two. The gap between the three teams is three balls. The gap between three **** in a single game is a huge difference in strength between top teams. Reflects.


    Millwall''s star was depressed, the opponent was unwilling to change the jersey, pulled down, they were on the court, celebrating on the turf of Bernabeu, and then throw the jersey that has been taken off into the stands to give away fans to support them.


    Aldridge''s excitement had calmed down when he attended the post-match press conference. The atmosphere on the scene was markedly contrasted. The reporters on Fleet Street smiled, and the Spanish media reporters were sad and dismal.


    Barcelona was abused 10-5 by Millwall.


    Real Madrid seems to be following the rhythm.


    In fact, Barcelona and Real Madrid are not particularly surprising even if they are defeated by Millwall.


    But in the Bernabeu, Real Madrid lost the suspense of promotion, and said explicitly: was crushed!


    Millwall, the mad lion, fiercely, ruthlessly, shattered the white giant!


    "Mr. Hall, congratulations, Millwall played a 90-minute seismic performance in Bernabeu, defeating Real Madrid 5:3, does it mean that Millwall can already focus on the finals?"


    "Before the Champions League starts, our goal is to set foot on the finals, and then achieve the defending again, this is our pursuit from the beginning, but the game is to play one by one, 5:3, it looks like Millwall situation Very good, good can not be better, but to say that there will be no accidents in the remaining game, I can¡¯t be sure, I only know a simple fact, if we lose the qualification for the final round in the next round, Millwall It will be the biggest joke in football history. I will not let that happen, nor will my players."


    "Can you comment on the performance of the two teams? Why is it such a result?"


    "Overall, the team''s technical and tactical strength gap. Millwall is a team that has been tempered after three to eight years. You can see Schneider, Southgate, Larson, Nedved, Materazzi, Bute, Zambrotta, Pirlo, Gattuso, these players joined Millwall very early, Ronaldinho, Gattuso, Henry, they also all After spending a lot of time on the team, the shortest is Henry. He came to us in 98 and it is almost four years now. They can feel the presence of their teammates with their eyes closed. This is our strong foundation. In turn, the Royal The Madrid lineup is very luxurious, but their team as a whole is not as good as us, so when you see Zidane, Figo, Ronaldinho, Henry have very wonderful personal performance, you will think that the two teams Unmatched strength, maybe Real Madrid lost luck, no, not like that, the core factor that really determines the game is the team, we have more offensive than Real Madrid, smoother, more stable, the overall offensive and defensive conversion is also faster , These are the role of the whole team."


    Spanish journalists are thoughtful. In fact, Aldridge is not too esoteric. It is a basic rule of football.


    You can''t count on 11 excellent but strange players to come together and become an extremely powerful team. Although Real Madrid is not a strong lineup formed in a hurry, but with Millwall at this level, the overall framework has developed steadily for more than 3 years. Compared with the team, the overall strength of the team is indeed obvious.


    Especially the age structure of Millwall''s team is at its peak!


    The youngest in the starting line is Ronaldinho, 22 years old, and the Brazilians and South American players have come to the peak early. There is consensus in the European football field. In other words, if the Brazilian genius does not reach the first-class level by the age of 22, then he is not a genius. Will be a joke to hurt Zhong Yong, Ronaldinho is a veritable genius, this season''s performance makes him step into the super first-class realm, no surprise, last year''s Golden Ball award defeat Henry, is the outside world''s recognition.


    The oldest is Southgate, and only 32 years old in half a year!


    Recalling that these players have played together for at least eight years, and at least four years, how can Millwall not be strong?


    "In this game, who do you think is eligible to be elected the best player?"


    "Oh, this is a difficult choice. We won on the road, so the best player should belong to Millwall. In fact, all players perform very well. If I have to choose, I will choose Nedved. Offense and defense His role at both ends is very obvious, and it is one of the key forces for us to win."


    ...


    Millwall triumphed in London. Compared with Millwall¡¯s away defeat to Real Madrid and shocked Europe, the other Champions League semi-final received less attention. One day later, Manchester United lost to Liverpool 1:2 away. This result is also Manchester United It''s not too bad. There are goals on the road, only one is lost, and it''s hard to get back home.


    Fleet Street is starting to gain momentum. This season''s Champions League final will be the English Civil War. Millwall''s three consecutive years in the Champions League final seems to have no problem. The other side is Manchester United or Liverpool. It doesn''t matter. Anyway, it is the Premier League team.


    The prosperous era of the Premier League, the theme of dominating Europa has been brought up for hype.


    Millwall''s victory at the Bernabeu not only strongly stimulated the fans, but also stimulated their young players.


    Seeing the team''s main players killing the Quartet on the highest stage of the club will give them a higher pursuit and motivation.


    In the weekend league, Millwall was at home, and all young players came on stage. At the end of the season, Millwall''s crazy momentum broke out without stopping. Villa and Klose both scored twice. Help Millwall defeat the visiting Derby opponent Charlton 4:1 at home.


    As Millwall ushered in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, a bad news came.


    Ronaldinho, hurt.

 Chapter 784： Lower half

    After the league, Millwall began preparing for the second round of the Champions League semi-finals. The atmosphere of the team was relatively relaxed and there was no tension before the war.


    On a sunny morning, the players come to the training ground early. Before the formal training, they will chat or do some warm-up exercises.


    Schneider and Klose hang out together in the city of London last night and saw a group of avant-garde young people dancing hip-hop in a comprehensive modern square. The scene was very hot. Klose recorded a section with a digital camera and is now sharing to Teammates.


    Ronaldinho came a little late, but it was not too late to start the training.


    When he came to the training ground, he saw a group of teammates watching the clips in the digital camera. He became interested and danced directly on the training ground. It seemed to be compared with the boys in the video.


    He jumped happily, but he stumbled on his feet while doing the rotation, then fell on the training ground, and then, the team doctor confirmed that he was injured.


    Aldridge had a very good morning. He rested on time for more than half a year in the last six months. His body conditioning was okay. He got up early today and was full of energy. He had a morning love exercise with Yiwen and came to work refreshingly.


    He didn''t go to the training ground and went directly to the medical center. After learning about the cause of Ronaldinho''s injury, he wanted to teach him a violent attack, but saw Ronaldinho pull his head and wear an ice bag at his ankle, Audrey Odd and unbearable.


    "Hey, you made me speechless! Are you not interested in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals? Is it fun to play such a shocking heart?"


    Aldrich sat down next to Ronaldinho in a playful tone.


    At first, Ronaldinho didn''t understand what Aldridge said. He thought carefully for a while, and raised his head to cry without tears: "Boss, I don''t want to! The stadium turf is not repaired, there is a pit, Maybe the turf is loose, anyway..."


    "It''s your fault anyway! Don''t blame the turf, the training ground, not the place to dance, please, are you too easy?"


    Ronaldinho thought about it and said, "It''s possible. We have advanced to the finals. In short, I didn''t deliberately avoid the second round of the semifinals, by no means!"

 ~： In the second round, he was absent because he was sent off and injured in the first round.

    Aldrich was waiting for the team doctor''s diagnosis report here. It was not until the end of the morning that Ronaldinho would be absent for half a month, so he was relieved.


    At least not as tight as last year''s time, there must be time for him to recover.


    "Take care of your wounds and stop having an accident!"


    Before leaving, Aldridge simply gave Ronaldinho some bans on activities. Anyway, during the healing period, he stayed at home, and went to and from the club medical center, two points and one line.


    Ronaldinho immediately nodded and agreed, and he was also afraid of other problems. After all, what awaited him was not only the final of the European Champions Cup, but also the summer World Cup.


    Aldridge returned to the coaching staff conference center, called the coaching staff, and re-made the tactical arrangement for the second leg of the Champions League. Unfortunately, Ronaldinho was not injured before the start of the game. At least for now, Aldridge has time to rearrange the team Tactics, Ronaldinho is a key role, he can not go up or down, although Millwall''s defense system has not changed much, but it will have an intuitive impact on the entire offensive system, because no one can replace his role!


    The day before the Champions League game, Fleet Street focused on Ronaldinho¡¯s injury. Millwall officially announced that Ronaldinho will be absent from this game due to injury. The expected period of rehabilitation is two weeks.


    This can''t be concealed. Ronaldinho not only walks in and out of the club training, but also has paparazzi to follow the sneak shots. He usually has paparazzi when he goes out for dinner.


    Millwall would use the smoke bomb as a trick, but if Ronaldinho was wrapped around his feet and acted on crutches, it would be too much to write, and it was a bit...


    "Ronaldinho will be absent from this game, this is the reality."


    "Who will send Millwall to replace him? Klose? Villa? Ramor?"


    In the starting lineup, Ronaldinho''s starting position is the left winger, Fleet Street naturally thinks that Millwall will replace Ronaldinho with a forward.


    However, Aldridge replied: "I haven''t decided who to send to. I need to check the status of the substitute players before the game."


    No one believed what he said at the scene!


    Absolutely not!


    The game will be tomorrow, and Millwall has not yet finalized the starting list for tomorrow?


    It is true that some clubs will decide the starting list at the last minute before the game, but Millwall¡¯s tradition is not like this. The outside world explores Millwall¡¯s internal secrets, and already knows Millwall¡¯s tradition. The tactics and starting will be finalized the day before the game. .


    Aldrich didn¡¯t say that he didn¡¯t want his opponent to focus on research. If he told a lie, it would easily hurt the player¡¯s heart. For example, he said that the sky would make Alonso start, but the result is not. What would Alonso think?


    The next day, Millwall and Real Madrid continued the second half of the century at the Lion King Stadium.


    Compared to the attention in Bernabeu, the game at the Lion King Stadium has clearly declined in attention. The chairman of Real Madrid did not come to watch the game. Millwall also specially reserved the largest box for Real Madrid management, perhaps 3 The total score of 5 made Real Madrid¡¯s top executives unwilling to watch the game again. Perhaps Florentino could not stand the torment of watching the game with Arthur.


    The number of Real Madrid fans who watched the game away was not much. Some of the tickets allocated to the visiting team were still in circulation on the black market. They were sold out by Millwall fans. The Lion King Stadium turned into a blue ocean today. Terror The atmosphere at home is still the same, and there has been a hustle and bustle since the game. A huge portrait of the host star flutters in the stands. There are even fan organizations that have specially drawn a banner of their own Q version.


    That banner received the focus of live broadcast footage.


    The content on the banner is simply a road map for the cartoon RPG game.


    The cute little blue lion walked through the road from the starting point, destroying the Portuguese dragon, the Apennine zebra, the Lisbon lion, the German chariot, conquering the Xingyue hell, sweeping the Catalan army, and now stepping on the white giant¡¯s On the corpse, there was only the last stop in front of the blue lion. Above the Glasgow name, there was a European Champions Cup.


    "Oh, it seems that Millwall fans are already making suggestions for the club. Millwall has previously released three promotional videos for the Champions League final, which is very talkative, especially many children like it very much. Now Millwall fans It¡¯s amazing to hand-paint Millwall¡¯s progress this season in the stands!"


    There is also a title on this banner: The Road to Glasgow Championship!


    After entering the stadium, Aldridge also found this ingenious banner in the stands, which made him smile. This is the fan culture, which has both appeal and publicity. The most important thing is that the fan organization that makes the banner must It''s a joy to make this banner, and then spread the happiness to other crazy lion fans.


    Aldridge walked to shake hands with Bosque, and returned to the home team coach with a few words of greeting. In this environment, he is not suitable to talk to Bosque too much, because Bosque''s situation can be described as all around.


    Real Madrid is almost impossible to defend the league this season. The UEFA Champions League semi-finals suffered a major defeat in the first game. There are even Spanish media. The side that fights against Real Madrid will be described as a shame. Of course, the cause is also Barcelona¡¯s disastrous defeat. The newspapers all fell down and sneered.


    Such a major defeat will inevitably require someone to take responsibility, not to mention that Florentino himself does not look down on Bosque.


    At this point of the storm, Real Madrid''s stars are hard to protect themselves, and naturally cannot stand up to speak fair for Bosque.


    The players from both sides started to enter the field. Real Madrid players have a sense of tragic death. The game has not started yet. Many players have their eyebrows twisted together. It feels weird in Aldridge''s eyes.


    It seems that they really want to create a strong anti-guest force, but when they step into the Lion King Stadium, they are full of blue and surrounded by tens of thousands of fanatic lions, their momentum cannot be mentioned.


    "Milwall temporarily led Real Madrid 5:3. The football game was full of unpredictable factors. Millwall never had a defeat at the Lion King Stadium, but Real Madrid is the most powerful team to rewrite this history, so This game is still worth looking forward to, let''s take a look at the starting list of both sides.


    Millwall had a heavyweight star in the game who couldn¡¯t make it. Ronaldinho was absent due to injury. Now he is sitting in the VIP box with a serious look. Surprisingly, Hall actually used Ronaldi Ni?o¡¯s Brazilian compatriot, young man Kaka, replaces Ronaldinho, which is a major difference from many media predictions before Klose will start.


    Millwall started with 442.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.


    Midfielders: Gattuso, Pirlo, Nedved, Kaka.


    Forwards: Henry, Larson.


    Real Madrid''s starting lineup and the previous game also had two changes in personnel. Pavin, who scored the lowest score in the last game, was put on the bench, replacing him with Solari and the goalkeeper card. Silas probably sat on the bench because he lost five goals in the last game, replacing him with 31-year-old goalkeeper Cesar.


    Real Madrid started 442.


    Goalkeeper: Cesar.


    Guards: Salgado, Hierro, Elgra, Carlos.


    Midfielders: Solari, Makelele, Zidane, Figo.


    Forwards: Raul, Morientes.


    The two teams have changed from the previous start, and Millwall has even changed the formation. This may make the game start beyond our expectations. Next, let''s appreciate the super showdown between the two giants. Life and death! "


    Aldridge saw Real Madrid''s starting list and thought about it for a while.


    Elgra withdrew to play as a central defender and dared not trust Pavin anymore.


    It wasn''t too unexpected to see Solari playing in the midfield and favoring offense, representing Real Madrid''s life and death on the road.


    As for what effect Solari could bring, Aldridge suddenly remembered one thing.


    In the original history, when Ronaldo moved to Real Madrid, it was at the peak of Barcelona¡¯s **** of Europa. At that time, few people would argue about whether Ronaldo and Messi are stronger, and even Real Madrid fans will say To make this remark: If Ronaldo''s superior can be half as efficient as Solari, then Ronaldo may be called Messi in La Liga.


    These words must be too one-sided. Let¡¯s not mention that Solari and Cristiano Ronaldo¡¯s defensive pressures are very different. However, Solari has not reached the famous height of Cristiano Ronaldo, so it is impossible for each opponent to focus on research and target. Sex is restricted. Secondly, Messi is indeed the king of the entire European football team at that time, but he is only a skill, and the best is not necessarily the king. Otherwise, how can Messi be alone in the national team? ?


    However, in this remark, Solari''s threat and some characteristics in the midfield area can be seen.


    Aldrich was not too worried after thinking, if Solari can really catalyze the whole team of Real Madrid, then Solari''s reputation should be greater.

 Chapter 785： Dead end

Aldrich, who stood on the sidelines from the beginning of the game, looked calm and confident in his eyes.


    Millwall is at home, Real Madrid is here to make a comeback, it is to desperately, but after the opening, Real Madrid''s offense can not be promoted from the middle.

 ~： Compared with the first round, Millwalls midfield defense is obviously more tough!

    Nedved played in the midfield today, instead of the midfielder, the starting area compressed the midfield line, and the retreat defense will certainly not be too late to return.


    Gattuso and Nedved are tough guys who can''t die. The defense is tough and tough. With the cooperation of Pirlo''s moving human wall, Millwall''s attack on Real Madrid in the midfield is very effective.


    Real Madrid had to transfer the offense to the wing, but after going to the wing, it was very difficult to transfer back to the middle. They clearly had a mentality that was not stable enough to endure their temper. The idea of ??braking and controlling the rhythm may be that the pressure to score at least 3 goals is affecting their mentality.


    Even if they beat Millwall 2-0 on the road, they will be eliminated because they have fewer goals than Millwall, so their minimum goal is to score 3 goals and restrict Millwall from scoring.


    Millwall¡¯s focus on the offensive area today is determined on the spot, or based on the opponent¡¯s starting lineup. Since Elgra withdrew to play as a central defender, the defense of the midfielder will decline.


    Why is Aldridge so confident?


    Of course it is the configuration problem of Real Madrid.


    Especially when Figola was on the side, Millwall organized the offense, and the midfield was their world. Zidane behind him, and Raul further away, naturally could not keep up with their attack speed.


    In the 11th minute of the game, after several consecutive attempts to attack, Millwall was generally familiar with Real Madrid''s defensive system today, and only after they knew the strength and layout of the other party, they would show their killer skills.


    When Salgado wanted to replay the wing and find Morrentes again, Zambrotta didn''t give him this opportunity. Today Millwall''s defense in the midfield and backcourt is very hard, and he is not worried about being counterattacked by his opponent. Nedved can go back, Zambrotta does not have to enter the penalty area, Salgado plays, Zambrotta directly blocks out.


    The ball rebounded to the front, Pirlora stopped the ball, Solari quickly came back to grab, Pirlo and Nedved collided with the wall twice in a row to shake Solari, and then Pirlo slightly behind But with the ball rushed forward, before Salgado returned to the defense, Pirlo directly kicked the ball to the front of the wing.


    Real Madrid''s full-back is not in position on this side. Henry pulls the ball behind the side, and Hierro dares not go out of the penalty area to help defend and guard the dangerous zone of the penalty area.


    Henry saw that Real Madrid had a long distance back in the frontcourt, and he slowed down a bit. His explosiveness was enough to frighten Yero.


    Dribbling to the edge of the penalty area, Henry cut in from the sideline, Hierro pushed up, he could not retreat, if the free area of ??the 45-degree angle of the penalty area line was given to Henry, Henry could come and shoot a long corner. Breaking the goal, the last round of Henry''s shocking half-turn and volley volley, he will never forget it.


    Makelele saw two players plug in at the middle of Millwall, Nedved and Kaka!


    Kaka is ahead, Nedved is behind.


    In this game, it is clear that Millwall''s midfield forward speed is more rapid than the previous one. The effect is that when Real Madrid weakened the backline defense, the defensive pressure of the middle of the penalty area increased linearly.


    Choose one of the two, with whom?


    Makelele''s head was too big. In the end, he chose to go with Kaka, but it was not thorough. At the same time, he tried to move closer to Henry, blocking his pass line.


    Henry suddenly started to change direction and chose to kill towards the bottom line. With this move, Real Madrid''s entire defense line retreated. In this rhythm change, Henry kicked the ball back and passed the ball back to Nedved.


    Nedved didn''t charge forward, but Henry''s bottom gave him a wider space. Makclelai responded quickly, and rushed out immediately to block the angle of Nedved''s long shot. .


    Nedv¨§d watched his former teammates rush up. He took the ball with ease and pulled it out at an angle. Then, when Makelele stretched his leg to block, the ankle shook and the ground ball passed the ball to Makelele¡¯s. Behind him.


    Makelele was shocked, and Nedved did not shoot!


    Behind him?


    Elgra, it''s up to you!


    Hierro must have been held back by Henry, and the only person Makrele could count on was Elgra.


    However, Elgra was also restrained by Larson from the in-position, although he was trying to find a balance. In fact, at that moment, Elgra was more like being caught between Kaka and Larson. Carlos seems to be posted next to Larson, but he is outside, and Larson Neche can take a shot, what can Carlos do from behind Larson?


    Elgra saw Nedved''s pass line and immediately moved to the right. He completely gave up Larson and targeted Kaka!


    The ball was passed along Kaka''s right foot. The goal was less than 12 yards in front of Kaka''s eyes. Goalkeeper Cesar abandoned the goal and Elgra came to block it. Kaka knew that he had no chance to adjust. Then, he turned sideways and shot quickly!


    He touched the ball earlier than Elgra, and the ball swept towards the goal of Real Madrid. The attacking Cesar subconsciously reached out to block it. The fingertips really touched the ball, which turned the ball slightly, but the distance was too close. Kaka deliberately exerted his strength. The ball was extremely fast and flew into Real Madrid''s goal!


    "Kaka! Kaka! Just over four days ago, Kaka, who turned 20 years old, scored a goal! He set the first record for Millwall! The soldiers sent by Hall gave back the magic effect, and Millwall led 1:0 at home. Real Madrid, with a total score of 6:3! Real Madrid must now score at least 4 goals to qualify for the final!"


    Kaka quickly got up from the ground after scoring a goal. There were fans in the stands holding his posters with excitement and endless applause. This was the affirmation and encouragement of the young players from the home team fans.


    After Kaka''s two-finger nagging, he started running all the way, he and Larson high-five on the road to celebrate, and then the home team coach seat ran away.


    Aldridge was ready to celebrate with Kaka high-five. He bent down and stretched out his palm to laugh, more like a boxer''s action to punch, but Kaka jumped over and directly jumped in Aldridge Body, hugged him frontally!


    Four days ago, Kaka''s 20th birthday, the club celebrated his birthday the day before the game with Charlton, and at the same time gave Kaka a new contract, the salary doubled.


    He only joined last summer, but as a first-team backup player this season, his growth and performance on the field have won the recognition of the coaching staff, especially the child is obedient, a good baby, and does not make trouble on the sidelines, even nightclubs Not going, Millwall sent a new contract when he joined in less than a year, which is to stay him and reflect his firm determination to lock in his future.


    Kaka was very grateful for this. Although his father took it for granted, and even felt that Millwall paid less, Kaka signed the contract happily.


    Aldridge''s expectation of him was actually a pressure, so when Kaka hugged Aldridge, he said something that made Aldridge cry and laugh.


    "Boss, did I let you down?"


    Aldridge patted his shoulder and smiled: "Don''t put too much pressure on yourself. It''s just a game. You''re only 20 years old. You have a long time to come. This is the Champions League semi-finals. That''s right, but it''s just your career. A game at the beginning of a career does not mean anything."


    Kaka smiled and was surrounded by his teammates.


    Aldrich''s arms are constantly waving up and down, and the Lion King Stadium, which has already detonated passion, has become more boiling and the atmosphere is fierce.


    He inadvertently glanced at the sinking Bosque on the coach seat next door, his mouth slightly raised.


    Is Millwall playing 442 today?


    No, Millwall played 433 today!


    Kaka is actually a shadow striker, lurking behind Larson and Henry. There are two big killers in front of him to contain the tear line, and then Nedved goes up to press the back line. Nedved, Larson, Henry, these three powerful points are undoubtedly more famous than Kaka, and more threatening than he looks, but Millwall¡¯s core offensive, in the opening stage, Audric told the team very clearly : You just want to create opportunities for Kaka!


    Real Madrid is going to attack, do you rely on the frontcourt players to play slowly? No, the fullback must go up, at least one up, one up, the lateral defense area of ??the back line will expand.


    Larsen and Henry deterred from the inside, even if Real Madrid perfected the defense, at least two defenders faced Larson and Henry diagonally, if Makelele followed Kaka, Nedved At this point, you can use the artillery ability at will. If Makelele comes to block Nedved, then Kaka¡¯s forward insertion is at least a one-to-one opportunity, and he enters the restricted area. As long as there is space and angle, Just kick up, why bother to pass the guard and the goalkeeper one-on-one?


    This is still in a perfect situation. Just now, Real Madrid''s defense line was not perfect.


    It was not so much that Aldridge sent the soldiers, Kaka played a magical effect, it is better to say that Millwall today in the absence of Ronaldinho, the frontcourt attack group sublimated the team¡¯s tactical effect, Henry and Larson Nengbianneng was cultivated by Aldridge in one hand, and the consciousness of covering Kaka on the front line, without hesitation in cooperation, more embodies Millwall''s team foundation.


    From the first minute of this game, Real Madrid was actually in a dead end. They had to attack, but in the attack and defense conversion rhythm, Millwall was obviously faster than them, and in the midfield configuration, Aldridge It is believed that Millwall is stronger than Real Madrid, even if the opponent has Zidane, Figo, and Makelele.


    But in the final analysis, in the efficiency of alignment, Makelele defended, and Gattuso was not bad. Zidane''s starting organization area was around the middle circle. Pirlo was specifically doing this. His personal ability was a surprise and lacked. Ronaldinho and Millwall may not be comparable to Figo, but they have a fast offensive and defensive rhythm and simply use their speed advantage. Kaka, Larson, Henry, which is slower? The most important comparison is Nedved''s play.


    Zidane is a technical master, and Nedved is a fighter. In fact, the two are not comparable, and the position and role are also different. Therefore, it is meaningless to compare the two of them. Zidane¡¯s organizational role is to compare with Peel Compared with Luo, after the last game, in the technical statistics, Pirlo had more passes than Zidane in the time period statistics before being replaced, and the success rate was basically the same. Luo and Zidane were half a catty in the last performance. Although Zidane''s stats on passing and scoring are better than Pirlo, Aldrich does not value those.


    Nedved is not a defensive core, an organizational core, or an offensive core, but Nedved can become a spiritual leader of Millwall, because offensive and defensive transformation requires a team like him and drives the presence of the entire player, so that Milwaukee The entire team will be sublimated again after the ability is quantified!


    When the coach has done his job and organized the defense, organization, and offense, this is obviously not enough, because even with the strongest defensive commander, you can¡¯t lead a line of defense to directly face the impact of the opponent¡¯s attack group. The majestic, strongest organizational core cannot simply deliver artillery shells to the attacking group, nor can the strongest offensive core be continuously invincible.


    Coincidentally, this concept will be implemented by Real Madrid in the next few years.


    Top guard, top organizer, top striker, why did Real Madrid go further away from the champion?


    Aldridge feels that Real Madrid is missing the same element, the lubricant that shapes the whole, the catalyst for the sublimation team, and the whole is perfectly connected. He is lucky that he has Nedved, and if he is missing, Millwall¡¯s defense The pressure will increase in a straight line, and the offensive power will decrease in a straight line. Yes, he is not the tactical core, but he is the most critical fighter of Audridge. The offensive core can be changed, the organizational core is also ready to change, the defensive core The next few years will also enter the rhythm of replacement, but for players like Nedved, how he hopes Nedved can be ten years younger.


    He never thinks of Zidane in Juventus in the original history and later "heir" Nedved, who is stronger, Zidane is a master of art, Nedved is an iron man, and a generation of masters after ten years .

 Chapter 786： No doubt

    Seeing that the team lost the ball again, Real Madrid¡¯s frontcourt stars couldn¡¯t conceal their disappointment. Losing the ball is equal to a blow. This is inevitable, but in the face of a blow, there are two effects, either destroyed by the blow, morale Low, or stimulated by the blow, to stimulate the ambition to meet the difficulties, the reason why Millwall team does not care about losing the ball, because in the face of losing the ball, they have cultivated the usual mentality of attacking back, let the other party pay the price.


    This was shaped by Millwall''s consecutive victories and soft championships.


    At the present stage of Real Madrid, it is naturally impossible for the morale of a ball to drop due to a lost ball, but the difficulty of the game has been increased by another layer, from the need to score 3 goals to become 4 goals.


    After the kick-off, Real Madrid reorganized the offensive and Zidane played very generally from the beginning of the game. It cannot be said that it is bad. It can only be said that there are no bright spots.


    His organization area starts in the area before and after the midfield. He will not make too many dribbling breakthroughs. Discussing explosive force alone. Breaking through that time, he is not top-level. His top-level is stopping, controlling, and protecting the ball. Passing, so I often see that he will organize a cross pass, and then insert himself.


    This is his style and habit of playing football, avoiding weaknesses, he runs forward, and his teammates pass the ball back to him, then he can play the ball, control the ball, guard the ball, get rid of it in a small area, Tear open the opponent''s defense line to find the advantage advantage of being empty.


    The advantage lies in his horizontal pass, which ensures the pass success rate and offensive stability. At the same time, he can stop the ball and take the ball to continue the offense. This is an integral part of the attack system with a guaranteed success rate.


    When it comes to field statistics, people always say that Zidane of the national team is better than Zidane of the club, but in international competitions, the number of direct assists and the number of goals scored by Zidane in the main game are very common, but he It¡¯s still important. It is conceivable that he is not the fatal pass of the sports game and the role of the Terminator. Even if he scores some important goals, his role on the field actually ensures the efficiency of the attack, not the most intuitive attack. Threat.


    Zidane played well in the last game because of a half-and-half defense in Millwall¡¯s midfield. Zidane crossed in midfield and inserted himself before coming to Pirlo, Gattuso¡¯s defense. In response, Pirlo can basically play a harassing role, and the rest depends on Gattuso''s frontal defense. Zidane has the space to show his ability.


    But in this game today, Nedved retreated. Whenever Zidane organized an offensive and then advanced, Nedved and Pirlo were in front of him. The two did not go to grab Zidane. This is a point that Millwall emphasizes in defensive training.


    This makes Zidane feel tricky in the front waist area.


    In the dribbling breakthrough highlights of many superstars we have seen, we often see a similar situation, such as aliens facing three or four, or even more defensive players rushing forward, aliens shaking continuously, the original Turn around, pull the ball and pull the ball, change the rhythm and break through, then a person directly penetrates two defensive lines and breaks through at least three defensive players.


    In contrast, some defensive masters'' defensive highlights, such as Maldini and Nesta, when they are defending, they never rush forward to rush forward to grab the ball in advance, and they will always see the player with the ball breakthrough first. When the ball left the foot and moved forward, or at the moment when it changed direction, it was accurately locked by the defensive master, and the ball was destroyed by the tackle at the worst. It was clean and splendid.


    This is the essence of frontal defense. It is also the reason why defense is an art in Italy. The player''s defensive habit is not to **** or even cling to the opponent. In defense, the main goal is to "start later". Whether it''s moving or kicking, your body''s center of gravity is handed over at that moment. Even a master like Zidane, even if you are facing your back, you stretch your feet to grab, he can pull the ball elegantly and turn around. Open your defensive center of gravity, when your body''s center of gravity returns to balance, he has changed from facing you back to passing you.


    The more faced the players are, the better the defensive players can''t lose their center of gravity, so some later screenshots of the game, such as the picture of Iniesta being sandwiched by 6 and 7 opponents, means two layers, one The first layer is his strong ball control ability, the second layer is that the defensive player is actually doing well in place. In that situation, the defensive player is stuck in the position to block the route, and he can''t stand. Whoever moves first will give the opponent the opportunity .


    Zidane encountered such a situation today. Nedved, Pirlo, and Gattuso will not rush to grab him, so they will get stuck. Zidane does not have the explosive power to eat his opponent, so he needs Helpers, only Figo and Raul can play a role in the frontcourt.


    However, Raul''s defensive pressure on the striker position is greater than Zidane.


    Figo went from the side, Millwall''s defense was very stable. The more the opponent''s offense developed towards the goal, the less space the offense could play, but Figo could at least ensure that he did not lose the ball. Then go to the side or take a long shot on the periphery.


    If he gave the ball to Solari, it would be dangerous. He came to help Zidane share the pressure, but he faced huge defensive pressure. Pirlo also consciously blocked the pass between him and Zidane. , Solari¡¯s creativity made him insufficient to cope with such a scene, so he was the player with the most mistakes in Real Madrid¡¯s attack, the pass threatened the ball to no avail, the breakthrough was intercepted, the ball was brought to the dead end and then passed to his teammates, changed Into a knife mountain ball.


    After 30 minutes of the game, Zidane couldn''t do anything in the middle, and he started to develop to the side. Seeing this scene, Aldridge felt that the game could sit back and relax.


    In fact, Zidane¡¯s performance in the national team is exceptionally outstanding, and the role is obvious. It is also related to the tactical system. Behind him, there is a tough double waist. The French national team is not the kind of play that oppresses its opponents. Therefore, when the offense and defense are converted, The pressure and the space that Zidane encountered in the offensive are very impressive. Bosque¡¯s last platoon formation was also an attempt to transplant the French team using Zidane¡¯s method. There were both Makelele and Elgra. The midfielder escorted Zidane, but unfortunately the back line Pavin was too unreliable, but in general, Zidane''s last performance was still very good. In some important offenses, he participated in the period, even if It is a transfer ball, all showing his ability.


    But in this game, Real Madrid not only had to attack aggressively, but also weakened the defense, Zidane''s play was restricted, and there was also the reason for Millwall''s change.


    He pulled to the side and passed the ball to find Morientes. In the end, Southgate got the header and the front door opened wide.


    After Gattuso stopped the ball, he turned directly and passed the ball lightly. It was like a clearance, and it was like a pass. There was only one Solari left in the midfield. He turned to chase the ball and suddenly found that Nedved was very good. Quickly keep pace with him and get the first touch in front of him in two steps!


    In an instant, Millwall turned from defense to attack!


    The rate of transition between offense and defense can be described as a blink.


    Makelele will not rush to grab, it is certainly not wise to try to break through in front of him.


    Makelele will definitely come up at this time to block the area where Nedved is advancing, but Nedved quickly passes the ball to Larson who runs out of space to meet.


    Larson, who got the ball to the right in front of the penalty area, kept the ball. He kicked the ball and made a cross to Kaka who was going to the penalty area.


    While Kaka touched the ball, Henry cut from the left to the middle of the penalty area, and Hiero followed closely. Henry''s diagonal run in front of Kaka helped Kaka create a corridor that broke through the long drive.


    Almost at the moment when Henry took Yero away from the diagonal run, Kaka broke the ball firmly from the position behind Henry.


    Hierro did not look back, knowing that Kaka had entered the penalty area from behind him, and Salgado returned to the defense from the side, apparently slowed by a beat.


    Yero turned around to detour Kaka to block the angle of his shot, but he was just about to rush over and the ball rolled over behind him.


    When Hierro turned around to find Kaka, he was shocked to find that the ball was gone, and then turned back, he was shocked to see Henry kick the ball and kicked the ball. At the moment he finished shooting, Elgra slipped in front of Henry. Cesar flew to save, the fingertip was half a meter away from the ball, and he could only close his eyes in despair, the ball rolled into the dead corner of the lower left corner of the goal!


    "Millwall went to the next city and it was Henry! We saw Kaka, who pointed his finger to assists for him as soon as he scored, and Millwall played really well at home today. From the beginning, Real Madrid has no power to parry, triangle pass, cross position, this is the excellent quality Millwall showed in this attack, simple and smooth, fatal blow, in contrast, Real Madrid''s offensive routine is cumbersome and inefficient , They can only threaten their opponents from the wing."


    Bosque saw that the team lost the second ball of the game, he knew it was impossible to reverse!


    The coach dropped his head and said to his assistant suddenly, "Millwall''s skills and tactics are really unsolvable!"


    His assistant was also frustrated, saying: "It looks like this, pure defensive midfielder, they have, we also have, but they also have a Pirlo, organized midfielder, not only the organization area is far from the danger zone, but also compression when defending The role of offensive space is to disrupt Millwall''s play. We must have at least two B2B all-around midfielders like Nedved in the midfield. Every time Millwall is turned from defense to attack, he always feels better than us. There is one more person, that is Nedved, who has him on defense and offense, and he does not enter the penalty area today. He just stayed in the front waist zone after passing the ball. Once the wind is wrong, he must turn around and go back to defense. We The attack and defense conversion rhythm with Millwall is poor, not an opponent at all."


    Bosque sighed.


    The outside world said that this is a considerable battle of the century. Perhaps it is only the reputation of the players on paper.


    What are the advantages of Real Madrid in terms of athleticism in real games?


    Overall speed? Team understanding? Organizational efficiency? Running?


    In Bosque''s eyes, Aldridge might be merciless.


    If Aldridge is willing, Millwall does not need to play too much advantage, focusing on the overall defense, coupled with diligent running and speed, Real Madrid will definitely die.

 Chapter 787： Kakas test

    Regardless of whether Real Madrid expected Kaka''s starter before the game, Real Madrid''s back line began to focus on Kaka''s defense after the Lion King Stadium gave Kaka a one-pass performance.


    Makelele realized that Nedved would not enter the penalty zone today to threaten the goal, a pure B2B area of ??activity, this is to ensure that he reduces the depth of the forward attack, and can take the time to return to the defensive position.


    Then, marking cards is very important.


    It was Kaka who really went deep into the penalty area to form a threat. Even if Kaka didn''t pass the ball to Henry, he himself had a chance to form a shot.


    Real Madrid''s back line is adjusting the marking strategy, but they still have not solved the offense.


    The away game is not good, and Millwall''s midfield defense is stronger than the previous game. Solari did not have the expected effect of the soldiers. Even after losing two goals, Solari began to lose his place. Looking forward and looking back, the attack is not decisive before the attack, the effort to return to the defense but it seems aimless, but the people withdrew back, but there is no substantial key defensive contribution.


    Millwall actually has more offensive opportunities because their efficiency in organizing offense in the midfield and backcourt is not bad. Due to Pirlo''s positional relationship, he is under a little defensive pressure and is not like Zidane. The ball is to create a forward space that compresses the forward space, but Millwall¡¯s offensive end does not count out because Kaka.


    Kaka is obviously still slightly immature in the coordination of positional battles. When dealing with the ball, especially when taking the initiative to respond, the choice of handling the ball is not good. This is an empirical issue.


    On the contrary, when Real Madrid attacked and Kaka¡¯s activity space expanded, he was single forward conscious and did not consider other transitions and organizations. He did well in the first 35 minutes, but adjusted his defensive strategy in Real Madrid and began to treat him. After closely guarding, he was successfully frozen by Makelele twice.


    Aldridge put his hands in his pockets on the sidelines. With Kaka¡¯s passing performance, he has been able to get high scores. However, Aldridge is harsh on talented players. Now the test of Kaka has just arrived. .


    The opponent doesn''t focus on you, you hit it, this is a successful tactical attack!


    But what do you do when you become the opponent''s target? If you can make a significant contribution to the team, this is why you are different from ordinary people and are called geniuses!


    After 40 minutes of play, Kaka reflected on himself while taking advantage of the dead ball.


    He hadn¡¯t been a teammate with Makelele for a day. He only listened to his teammates during training. He once met at Millwall, and now he met on the court, especially when Makelele focused on him. Makelele is like a viper, either accidentally biting you, or the whole person is entangled with you, letting you suffocate slowly when he is entangled by him.


    Kaka knows that he is facing difficulties now. If he wants to beat Makelele in a short time, he knows that it is not realistic, and the other party is experienced. Even Nedved does not dare to face Makelele hard. 10 times, can succeed 3-5 times, but the other 5 failures are a waste of the team''s efforts, which is contrary to the core philosophy of the Millwall team.


    He remembered his personal advice from the coaching staff before the game.


    "If you are obscured in the first 60 minutes and have no performance on the court, then we will definitely substitute in the 60th minute of the second half. This is an exam, but if you have an intuitive threat in the game, you can''t play in 90 minutes. The game has always had this threat, because our opponent is Real Madrid, they have a lot of experienced players, they will shift the focus of defense, to focus on restricting you, what should you do? At this time, it is the best of Millwall attack group The threat is shifting! Teammates are at your service. You have to serve your teammates too. We are giants. We have a lot of excellent attackers. Using you as an opponent is a surprise. When you can reduce the offensive pressure of other teammates, You must be conscious and create opportunities for them!"


    Millwall¡¯s team philosophy is different, only looking at the offensive efficiency of Trezeguet, Shevchenko, Van Nistelrooy after leaving Millwall, you know that they are top in other clubs. The shooter, but the one who stays in Millwall, is often a superb shooter! Able to play superb stats this season!


    In addition to personal abilities, Millwall¡¯s core team philosophy plays a role, and truly achieves 1+1 greater than 2, and the entire gorgeous attack group has no real offensive core. When they can understand the opponent¡¯s defensive center of gravity well. At the same time, when the offensive threats are transferred back and forth and dedicate to each other, they are actually reducing the pressure on each other and achieving continuous and stable performance.


    In Millwall, the striker will also have a bad state, but almost no forward weakness occurs, and it will not be seen that a certain striker is completely stared. It is not that the striker is not marked, but Henry is under 80% defensive pressure Larson will come out, when the other party moves to Larson, the pressure on Henry will naturally ease, and Henry must be aware of the response to Larson when he is focused on the mark. Otherwise, Larson would be difficult to sing, and Henry''s determination to attack alone would only allow the opponent''s targeted defense to succeed.


    The test of Kaka is the cultivation of this kind of awareness. It is difficult for the players to understand through words. Without going through such a scene, they cannot understand the deep meaning. Like Ronaldo, he only enhances the sense of teamwork. When he became the opponent''s key target, he still had the consciousness of shifting threats, and let his teammates attack the city, which would need to be investigated separately.


    Near the end of the first half, Pirlo intended to slow down his rhythm while organizing the offense, frequently shifted laterally, and did not rush to penetrate the pass. Real Madrid saw it, thinking that Millwall was going to hold two goals in the first half. Advantage, which strengthened the strength of the midfield fight.


    In Real Madrid''s grab, Pirlo suddenly accelerated his pace. When Zidane and Solari came to grab at the same time, he passed the ball to Zambrotta on the side, and then quickly ran forward. His run Bit is the obvious signal.


    Zambrotta passed the ball in front of Pirlo. After Pirlo took the ball again, Solari was behind him. Pirlo did not hesitate and passed straight to Kaka in front.


    Kaka took the ball and turned to kill the opponent directly into the penalty area. The speed increased and the dribbling was chic.


    Seeing this scene, Aldridge was somewhat disappointed.


    At a glance, Kaka was rushing in front of Makelele.


    Probably he is confident that he can break through Makelele.


    It¡¯s not that there is no chance. It¡¯s just that Aldridge is not very optimistic. Even though Makelele has been broken through, he will never be overwhelmed. Makelele¡¯s speed will ensure that he will be harassed while Kaka continues to move forward. Kaka can''t completely throw away the opponent, the ability to handle the ball still needs to be strengthened.


    Makelele made a defensive posture at the top of the arc in the penalty area, waiting for Kaka to strike.


    He finds it strange that someone else must break through to avoid the defensive player, but Kaka dribble the ball and the forward path almost hits him, as long as he moves three steps to the right.


    Makelele didn''t think much. He moved three steps to the right to defend, waiting for Kaka to make a dribbling change in front of him. As soon as the change was made, Makelele would immediately make a defensive action. .


    Kaka''s eyes were firm and hesitated in the center of the dribbling process. He didn''t have time to look back, but he thought his teammates had good running ability.


    He deliberately took the steering wheel on the left side of the middle road, and then dashed forward in a straight line, actually giving way to the space on the right.


    When they came to Makelele three meters in front of them, the two faced each other. Makelele was fully absorbed, but Kaka made a move that made him stunned.


    Stop the ball with the brakes and pull the ball to the right rear with your toes!


    There seemed to be a no-man''s land, Makrelai looked around, and suddenly saw Nedved rushed up one second and led the ball away!


    Kaka shouted in his heart: YES!


    He watched it first before passing, and he felt a little nervous in his heart, for fear that Nedved would not keep up, but Nedved''s physical fitness and the assaulter''s football genes, how could he not be seen at this time?


    Nedved led the ball forward and had reached the position on the line of the penalty area. Makelele blocked the pass from Kaka and forced the pass to Nedved. Henry was frozen by Yero and Salgado. When Nedved made a long-range shot, Elgra moved and rushed to Nedved to block the angle of his long-range shot, and he intended to use his body to block it!


    The iron man with a calm face faked a true pass and pushed the ball to the left side of Elgra''s body with his arch.


    Elgra found the opponent passing, and suddenly despair in his heart: finished!


    Behind him, the windy Larsson cut into the small penalty area. After receiving the ball, he continued to dribble horizontally. Cesar attacked and rushed forward. Larson continued to dribble the ball around Cesar and then shot the ball into the empty goal. within!


    "What a wonderful goal, what is Millwall worse today? What''s worse? It''s the goal of the God of War Nedved! But he already has two assists, Millwall''s wonderful team performance, well deserved The strongest in UEFA!"


    Seeing this goal, Aldridge lifted his fists on the sidelines without expression, but his eyes were hot!


    Not only did he score another goal before the end of the first half, but with this goal, he saw Kaka''s prospects of real integration into Millwall!


    The disappointment just now was his own superficiality. He thought Kaka was rushing forward. Actually it was not. He saw it. When Kaka passed the ball to the right back without turning back, he knew he was wrong. , Kaka misunderstood, Kaka intentionally rushed forward, creating an impact on Makelele, wanting to compete with the other side, confusing Makelele, and contributing to his teammates, and after the pass Keep moving forward to contain the opponent''s defense. The reason why Makelele''s defense against Nedved is not firm enough comes from Kaka''s first goal. Isn''t Nedved assisting in the same position?


    Good boy, great!

 Chapter 788： team leader

    At the end of the first half of the second half of the Battle of the Century, Millwall completely expanded the total score to a shocking 8:3. The Lion King Stadium has already turned into a sea of ??joy, and many crazy Lions fans have made their own Champions League trophy in Waving in the hands, for them, this is the perfect day, the perfect first half.


    The Real Madrid stars stared into the player''s channel in a haunting manner, which was a nightmarish first half.


    The offense is extremely difficult, and the defense is full of mistakes.


    Two weeks ago, he was ambitious to play against the top European team of kings, and was about to step on the throne of Millwall''s body, and now it seems how naive the ambitions were at that time.


    Aldrich praised the team''s performance during the halftime break. He was not as excited and excited as in the last halftime break. The excitement brought by the stars gathering in the super war has passed. At this time, it is very calm: Real Madrid , But you''re in love.


    Aldrich should have been mentally prepared. When he studied Real Madrid, as of the end of the La Liga round, Real Madrid¡¯s performance in the league was not impressive. Their winning rate was only 52%, and the league lost eight games. And eight different teams defeated them in La Liga, all losses were away, there are also eight draws, this is not a league performance that a top giant should have, but Aldridge thought Real Madrid was originally in history This season''s Champions League championship, the personnel composition is also the same as in history, so they deliberately ignored these and placed Real Madrid in a very high and special position.


    But if you think about it, Real Madrid¡¯s two-stage group stage is very comfortable, and it still lost two games. It also lost one game in Bayern Munich¡¯s knockout game. Even though they were the original champions of this season, but The overall strength did not top the giants, and Millwall''s overall strength is super first-class, and also distanced from the top giants, especially playing La Liga, a team that focuses on midfield control, plus the other party''s heavy offense Millwall may have the luck to pull the total score so large, but the overall strength is still significantly stronger than the other.


    Thinking of these, Aldridge has nothing to be excited about. He wins the opponent. As a matter of course, he has built a super team for 8 years. If he can¡¯t suppress Real Madrid¡¯s opponent who has changed the midfield in the past two years. Aldrich felt that it could only represent Real Madrid¡¯s gold dollar policy, and the victory of the superstar policy would be a shame for his failure.


    Bosque did his best to mobilize the morale of the team during the halftime break. He comforted him first. After the team eased slightly, he inspired the team and then set the task for the second half.


    Regardless of whether the adjustment is correct, he has to try it, rather than let it go. If that is the case, in this horrible stadium, Real Madrid, a green shady noble, will experience a historic bloodbath!


    Before the start of the second half, Real Madrid made a substitution adjustment, Solari was replaced, the replacement is Karanka.


    Aldridge saw Real Madrid make this substitution adjustment without having to wait for the game to start to understand Bosque''s ideas.


    Solari is an important substitute in Real Madrid, as is Karanka, and due to the influence of high-level policies this season, Pavin has become the main center defender. The former backup Karanka is still a substitute. The reason why he did not dare to use him before, certainly It is affected by the number of league appearances, the status is difficult to determine, to know that the number of league appearances of Karanka than Pavin, it is half less!


    Kalanka withdrew to play as a central defender, and he can also take care of the left back. Defensively, he can expand the defense zone. Unlike some central defenders who are stunned, they are seriously dislocated.


    Elgra regained the midfielder position. In fact, Real Madrid¡¯s smoothest midfielder this season is Elgra + Makelele + Zidane. It was just a drop of the back line that forced Bo. Skoe withdrew Elgra from the field, and now 45 minutes later, he has revised the layout again.


    In the first half, Real Madrid''s midfield did not run smoothly. The fatal reason is that because of the thin backline defense, Millwall''s attack does not require cumbersome organization and scheduling. In this way, their overall formation does not need to be pressed forward. Real Madrid is defended The idle time of the transition is not too big. The last midfield operation is much smoother than today. The reason is also at this point. Only when the defense has a certain guarantee and Millwall needs to invest more troops to attack, this can change. Ground weakened Millwall''s defense.


    The total score is already 8:3, Aldridge sat on the coach seat steadily, a substitution adjustment by Bosque was not enough to worry him too much.


    But after watching the second half of the game for five minutes, Aldridge stood up. He found that Real Madrid''s entire offensive system has changed.


    Morientes retreated, Zidane pulled back, sometimes forming a local cooperative connection with Figo or Carlos, unlike the first half when Zidane developed an attack on the sideline, the middle of the road was empty, and now Elgra came up. , He can even more unscrupulously attack.


    Real Madrid began to shift its strength from a global balance to a local advantage and then exploded. That is to say, Millwall had Nedved + Pirlo + Gattuso in the midfield. Real Madrid did not attack the middle first, leaving a return Morantes withdrew as a receiving point, and threatened to take the ball as a ball, pinned Millwall''s midfield defense, and then concentrated on the wing.


    Regardless of the back defense assists, Carlos either cooperated with Figo or Zidane. When the attack advanced to the parallel position of the large penalty area line, Raul flexibly penetrated the defender defense zone to form a disruptive raid, and Zida Inside, Figo and Morientes are evenly distributed or concentrate in an area for impact!


    Aldridge frowned. Real Madrid played this way. The tactical level is correct. They can use their superstar''s small-scale ball control ability. Instead of playing through breakthroughs, they use a small-scale concentrated force to play the team to coordinate the transfer.


    But it was definitely not possible to play like this in the last game. They attacked so fiercely. In case the attack could not be achieved, Millwall had Ronaldinho on the left, Larson on the right, Nedved and Henry in the middle echoed back and forth. As long as the ability to disrupt the opponent''s defense from the inside, the threat of Larson will rise linearly.


    But today, Millwall does not have Ronaldinho. Perhaps Bosque calmed down at halftime to understand this. Millwall actually lacked a core today!


    The outside world says that Millwall is a dual-core configuration before and after. After Pirlo drags, Ronaldinho is in front, the two''s organizational area is divided, to minimize the negative effects of each other, reduce the probability of chaos in the attack, and Ronaldinho is less In the frontcourt, Millwall''s quality has declined regardless of whether it is a single raid or an organization transfer offensive. The threat like Kaka can only play a short pass all the way forward. With Makelele + Elgra, the second half Kaka will be caught in an unprecedented dilemma.


    In this game, Kaka''s performance has soared all the way, but the difficulties faced are gradually escalating. In the second half, when Real Madrid sacrificed his double back, Kaka was lost.


    Time and time again, when he caught the ball and handled the ball, he tried to break the ball and the pass was not in place.


    Aldrich walked to the sidelines, trying to find a chance to communicate with Kaka briefly. His inner thought was to give Kaka more time to let Kaka go through such a test, even if it fails, it does not matter, but it must not be hit by difficulties. Down, forming a demon.


    However, in the 58th minute of the game, Carlos made a frontline touchdown. He vigorously threw the ball to the rear of the Millwall guard line.


    This is obviously a carefully practiced tactic. The Millwall defender line was pushed forward in order to face Real Madrid''s local number advantage, and also wanted to make Real Madrid''s pass and match failure by creating an offside method.


    Carlos'' sideline ball was thrown, not a high-altitude ball, but a half-height ball bounced into the penalty area. The route was thrown from the sideline, flying through the middle of the full-backs Schneider and Materazzi, the landing point will be Behind Materazzi, who is the responder?


    Raul!


    Raul started from the Southgate side, and the running route crossed the middle of Southgate and Materazzi. The ball rolled diagonally, and Raul also ran diagonally. Once the ball was scored, the ball intersected At this point, it becomes a single-pole trend!


    Materazzi turned around again and it was definitely late. Carlos threw the ball not only with great strength, but also with a precise route. Even if Southgate reacted to chase Raul, Raul was left behind.


    Bute abandoned the door, but apparently Raul would touch the ball earlier and at least five meters away from Butt.


    Predicting that Bout''s attack is impossible to block Raul''s single-handed sword for the first time, Southgate started to pursue Raul while he was about to be thrown away. He pulled Raul''s shoulder and immediately let go. Only let Raul have a slowdown in speed and then close, and then he can stick to Raul for a reasonable physical collision.


    Raul was dragged down at full speed and his steps became messy, and then fell into the penalty area.


    Southgate heard the referee''s whistle at the moment beyond Raul.


    He sighed deeply in his heart, then stopped and turned around, seeing the referee running towards him while reaching into his chest pocket.


    Southgate closed his eyes and became a boo after hearing an uproar from the Lion King Stadium. He knew his destiny.


    "Red card! The referee showed the red card to Southgate without hesitation! Southgate had a pulling action against Raul, otherwise Raul would not fall. Obviously, if Raul did not fall, This must be an opportunity for a single-handed ball. We cannot defend Southgate''s red card. It is just cruel to Southgate. He will miss the next Champions League final. There will be another half an hour. After throwing 5 balls, they will reach the final of the Champions League for the third consecutive year and the fourth time in history, waiting for Southgate will be a record-breaking glory, but this red card has changed everything and changed his fate!"


    The fans of the home team of Lion King Stadium of course did not do it, boos, and put pressure on the referee.


    Southgate opened his eyes again and did not defend himself, even if Materazzi, Nedved, Pirlo, Schneider, Bute and other teammates all surrounded the referee, trying to make the referee sentence lighter, but the main The referee has not changed the signs of sentencing.


    Real Madrid players also surrounded the referee, they are trying to pressure the referee, thinking that Real Madrid should also get a penalty.


    Raul fell in the penalty area.


    However, Southgate hugged the ball, walked to the top of the penalty area and placed the ball there, walked to the head referee, separated his teammates, and said to the head referee: "I fouled, you show me a red card, I don¡¯t argue, but, I know where I fouled, it¡¯s there, outside the penalty area, not a penalty! More than 60,000 pairs of eyes on the scene have confirmed this from the playback on the big screen, you dare to award a penalty, that is A serious mistake in your work!"


    After finishing this speech, Southgate turned and walked halfway. He stopped and turned around. Nedved was running to try to comfort him. Southgate removed the captain''s armband from his arm. He took it off and shook his head slightly towards Nedved, indicating that the other party should stop comforting him. He personally put the captain''s armband on Nedved, patted the back of the other person''s head, and turned away without a word.


    Aldridge didn''t expect such a huge change on the sidelines. Needless to say, the coaching staff has already let Metzelder and Neal warm up. On the bench, just the two guards, anyone can do it. Anyway, be prepared to see who Aldridge sent.


    When Southgate walked to the sidelines, Aldridge with a serious expression suddenly asked, "Did you think about the consequences when you started?"


    Southgate stood in front of Aldridge and shook his head: "No, no time."


    "Do you regret it?"


    "Do not."


    Aldridge suddenly smiled and reached out, Southgate and he gave a high chest and walked into the player aisle. When he left, the booing of the Lion King Stadium stopped and became applause. The stands near the player aisle All the crazy lion fans on the stage stood up and applauded and watched Southgate leave with respect.

 Chapter 789： Heavy price

    When the referee pulled out the red card, Aldridge¡¯s mind flashed a lot of pictures in the memory and stories that really happened on the green field, although some of the pictures and stories in the world he is experiencing have not yet been Occurred, and some may never happen again.


    These pictures will make him feel angry, want to yell at Southgate: You are a fool! idiot! How about letting Raul make a single shot? Our total score is 5 goals ahead! What are you afraid of losing? !


    In the summer of 02 in Asia, Barak burst into tears in the locker room after the semifinals and he will miss the World Cup final.


    In Apennines in 2003, Nedvide kneeled on his knees with his face hidden in his hands. He missed the Old Trafford stand alone when he missed the Champions League final.


    In 12 years, Chelsea will reach out and cover the referee''s hand, but still failed to save Ivanovic''s cruel penalty for the Champions League final. At that time, Ivanovic''s reaction seemed to be unreal, because you can''t imagine the iron-bone man. Mad Ivan looks helpless and frustrated as if isolated by the whole world...


    Perhaps the tens of thousands of crazy lion fans in the stands of Lion King Stadium also thought of this. They regretted Southgate, and many people will have the same idea as Aldridge at this moment: this foul, that action, really Not cost-effective!


    But when Aldridge saw Southgate holding the ball and placed him outside the penalty area, he denied the idea in his mind.


    Outside Luyin, the head coach can calm down and think carefully. The fans in the stands have leisure time to chat and yawn, but the players on the court do not have such space. At the critical moment, who can be so careful? If you have the time to think and give yourself a lax level of thinking, then, might you stand on the stage of the Champions League semi-finals, the century war? Perhaps in the first 100 games of his career, he has become a mediocre incompetent because others are fighting and you are always thinking. Football needs thinking, but instinct is even more needed.


    Aldridge calmed his mind and could only say that Southgate paid the price for the team''s defense. In terms of choice, whether to let the opponent play single-handed or to foul himself, Southgate chose the latter, although both There are chances for development, such as Raul flying alone, Southgate foul was not found, but the reality is that Millwall has not conceded the ball.


    Real Madrid''s pressure on the referee has no effect. The referee first went to draw a red card for Southgate, and there was no finger penalty. The penalties are clear, the penalty is very accurate, the red card is correct, and the free kick outside the penalty area is also correct. .


    Millwall set up the human wall, Zidane of Real Madrid stood in front of the ball, then slammed a shot, and Carlos behind the bombarded the door!


    Unfortunately, the ball did not hit the goal and missed the goal post.


    At this time, Millwall made substitution adjustments.


    Metzelder replaced Kaka, and Millwall''s other substitutes also went on to warm up, but before the warm-up was completed, Aldridge would not rush players to play.


    Kaka received warm applause from the fans of the home team.


    The situation of the game has suddenly reversed from now on. Real Madrid has found the right tactics for this game to deal with Millwall. At the same time, Millwall now plays one less player. At this level, there is one less person than the opponent. The situation will be very different.


    In the last 30 minutes of the Century Wars, Real Madrid finally showed the appearance of a white giant, suppressing Millwall to start an offensive. They made full use of the space of the venue to organize the offense, combining side to side, interlacing front and back very well.


    Millwall can only rely on more hard-working running and scrambling to make up for the number disadvantage.


    After 8 minutes, Nedved ran back to the sideline and was injured by a flying shovel to block Figonet''s successful defense!


    "There is less and less time left for Real Madrid, the score is too far behind! 5 goals and 20 minutes left for them, but the situation on the court is more and more beneficial to them, Millwall plays less One person, now Nedved is injured again, Hall stood on the sidelines with a dignified face. Obviously, even if he advanced to the finals, Millwall paid too much!"


    Aldrich felt extremely remorseful and remorseful in his heart. Perhaps it was the state of comfort brought by the leading edge, which made him not thoughtful.


    He kept Pirlo. In fact, he wanted Pirlo to launch a precise long pass when he counterattacked. However, Pirlo''s defense and speed are hidden dangers. This requires that Gattuso and Nedvide around him pay more.


    There was nothing to hesitate at this time, Millwall made another substitution, using the last two substitutions.


    Alonso came on to replace Pirlo.


    Pedretti came on to replace Nedved.


    In the 74th minute, Real Madrid sent the attack back to the top of the arc through a tactical corner kick, then Zidane sent a deadly kick to the other side and cut the line, Morientes swept the ball in front of the door, Elgra chaotic Put the ball into the goal from there.


    "Real Madrid finally scored the first goal on the road, 3:1, with a total score of 8:4, leaving them with 15 minutes, the gap became 4 goals."


    Perhaps it was a difficult goal scored on the road, Real Madrid morale was greatly boosted, and after Millwall restarted the ball, they rushed up like a wolf, so that Millwall could not breathe.


    There are always miracles on the greenery. Manchester United only needs 2 minutes to create a miracle. Millwall also tried several times to make history at the last minute. Real Madrid has 15 minutes. Not enough stoppage time, is it enough? Is it not enough?


    After 30 minutes, Millwall suffered defensive pressure, which should be the biggest moment since Aldridge coached! none of them!


    Millwall players are defending the goal. By this time, not only the players, but also the fans in the stands understand that Millwall can¡¯t think about the leading edge, can¡¯t think about killing the time and definitely going to the final, otherwise , Ball drop will happen one by one.


    Through a fierce defense, Millwall found an excellent counter chance in the 81st minute.


    Larsson has withdrawn from the half and played the role of a full-back. Alonso played against Elgra in an offensive attack. Fortunately, he won. Elgra failed to steal in the anti-robbing. This is He counterattacked four times in a row, and for the fourth time, he finally failed. Millwall had a chance to counterattack. Alonso endured a foot pain. It was only a 35-yard pass, but he did not dare to pay any attention to it.


    He passed the ball to Larson on the wing.


    On the side of Larson, Carlos rushed up to assist, and at this moment, Carlos'' speed of defense began to decline. Larson began to drive the ball into the long drive. Makelele, who was parallel to him, was actively returning to the defense. , Millwall 2VS3.


    When Makelele was about to collide with Larson, Larson handed the ball to Henry who pulled to the left of the penalty area.


    Henry took the ball and tried his best to balance his body. He used a sense of rhythm to trick Yero and Kalanka. His fancy dribbling and breakthrough skills played a huge role at this moment. Slow, fast, Slowly, after three rhythm changes, Yero¡¯s center of gravity was deceived, and there was a gap between Kalanka and him. Henry tried his last bit of energy to explode and accelerated. He rushed past between the two and Kalanka¡¯s physical fitness was no problem. As Henry had just had a shooting angle in the past, he no longer hesitated, and when he shot, Henry completed the action by shooting down.


    The ball didn''t move fast against the turf and rolled towards Real Madrid''s goal.


    Cesar immediately moved to the left of the goal, but the speed of the ball did not seem to be fast. The angle of rolling towards the goal was extremely tricky. Cesar tried his best and still failed to hit the ball when saving, even if his finger A little touch of the tip may save the goal!


    Because the ball slammed and hit the inside of the goal post, it stopped at the goal line...


    "Henry! The Super Killer goes to the next city! Millwall leads 4:1 and leads Real Madrid 9:4! Now, there should be no suspense in the game, it should be gone, it should be gone."


    In the contest of other teams, leading by 2-3 goals, even if there are 30 minutes left in the game, basically the leading side has locked in the victory, but when Millwall and Real Madrid differ by 4 goals, the commentators are all Do not dare to make a conclusive sentence and sentence Real Madrid to death.


    The Lion King Stadium blew out louder cheers.


    The goal is too difficult, too difficult!


    Henry fell to the ground after shooting and did not get up. He did not show any painful color, but quietly made a substitution gesture toward the coach seat, but after doing this gesture, he realized afterwards that there was no substitution. .


    He felt the pain in his ankle. It should be that the shot was twisted at the time of the shot. He intended to shoot vigorously and shoot out the power, but the touch was incomplete. Some of the force was kicked into the turf, although it became a kick. The ball was scored, but the ankle was indeed slightly injured. His self-perception knew that the injury was not serious, but he certainly could not stick to the game.


    Aldridge still let the team doctor rush over and explain: take him off.


    The two team doctors used to check Henry''s injury on the spot. Real Madrid''s players surprisingly did not urge them. Instead, the head referee went over and ordered them to deal with them off the court.


    Real Madrid did have a strong desire to perform a miracle reversal before this, but Henry scored another goal, it seems that they completely collapsed.


    Before the opponent sent a penalty, he pulled a ball back and was hit again. With less than 10 minutes left, Real Madrid will have to score 5 goals to advance. Where is it possible to create a miracle? This is a desperate situation that God can''t reverse.


    "There was a warm applause at the scene, Henry could not stick to the game, and Millwall had no substitutions. Now Millwall is two fewer players than Real Madrid!"


    The more this time, the more the fans need to play the role of the twelfth person. In the Lion King Stadium, the loud singing of the crazy lion fans haunted the sky. Every time the Millwall player touched the ball, the scene will remember the coquettish sound, Audrey Qi took off his suit and constantly signaled the fans of the stands to be louder!

 Chapter 790： Enemies reunite

    Millwall has two fewer players on the field and has no offensive force, even with Larson, but Larson''s physical fitness has run out of light and he has returned to the backcourt to act as a defensive role of moving the wall.


    Real Madrid''s offense is not renewed, but slowly and slowly looking for opportunities, probably forgetting the score, no longer expecting to advance, so the game posture has also become routine.


    Even so, the efficient and orderly pass organization still allowed Real Madrid to pull back another goal at the last minute, because their people were all pushed up, and Millwall didn''t even have a counterpoint.


    Real Madrid''s attack at the last minute caused a chaos in Millwall''s penalty area. Zidane made a long-range shot. Butt blocked it. Morientes made a header shot on the crossbar. The rebounded ball was only after Raul made a shot. Fly into Millwall''s goal. Despite Raul''s obvious kick, the goal was scored.


    After scoring, the Real Madrid stars looked at the time on the scoreboard: 92:15.


    There is no time.


    Millwall fell five times in the backcourt after the kickback, and then when Morentes snatched Schneider, Schneider kicked the ball to the frontcourt. The referee blew the whistle at the end of the game. sound.


    "The Champions League semi-finals, the much-anticipated World War II, the end of the 180-minute two-round match between defending champion Millwall and Real Madrid, defending champion Millwall has demonstrated a strong strength and achieved a double home and away Real Madrid. Away with a 5:3 victory, today they defeated Real Madrid 4:2 at home, a total score of 9:5 to create club history, and the history of the English team, entered the Champions League final for three consecutive years, waiting for their impact will be more At the moment of the great record, if they can achieve the Champions League three consecutive championships, they will become the fourth Champions League three consecutive championship teams after Real Madrid, Ajax, Bayern Munich, and also an unprecedented record for the English team. However, Millwall¡¯s hidden danger is that Southgate¡¯s red card cannot make it to the finals. Nedved and Henry are injured and leave the field. It is not known whether they can catch up with the finals. Now, they should be more concerned about another semifinal tomorrow. Come see if their opponent is Liverpool or Manchester United."


    When the whistle sound at the end of the game started, Millwall played quietly. They would not rush into the field to celebrate as some teams advanced to the Champions League final. Not everyone is restraining, but everyone is accustomed to it, regardless of players As a coach, when the Champions League did not kick off, everyone''s goal is to defend the title, and now it is just a step forward to the goal end.


    Aldridge couldn''t be pleased. There was something in his heart. Southgate''s red card was a fait accompli. Nedved and Henry''s injuries were still inconclusive. He thought about it in his heart.


    Going to shake hands with Bosque routinely, then Aldridge turned and walked quickly into the player tunnel.


    On the way to the locker room, Aldridge tried to comfort himself and relax his mood.


    Real Madrid tried to go to the throne in a dust-free manner to worship the world. How could it be so easy?


    How could Millwall easily enter the finals without any cost?


    Losing the ball is the price, the red card is the price, and the injured player is also the price.


    And these costs are worth it, Millwall has not stopped the pace of progress towards glory.


    Only Ronaldinho''s injuries are meaningless.


    Thinking about it, Aldridge was really relaxed.


    At least Ronaldinho can definitely play in the final! As long as he doesn''t have an accident while he recovers from injury.


    In the locker room, I briefly summarized the game and told everyone to go back and have a rest. From this moment on, the team will prepare for the Champions League final.


    Aldridge took Southgate to the post-match press conference.


    The reporters clearly saw that Aldridge was not interested. Compared with the last time he defeated Real Madrid, he now looks calm.


    Asked about the injury of the players in the game, Aldridge said lightly: "Millwall players are in good health throughout the season, but today two main players are injured, the most important thing is the intensity of the game, Nedved I don¡¯t know whether he will catch up with Henry in the Champions League final."


    As for today''s 4:2 score, the content of the game, Aldridge just said in diplomatic tone: "Real Madrid is great, but Millwall is better, will, determination, team, this is the key to our victory."


    Liverpool or Manchester United?


    "We don''t care who the opponents are in the finals, we do our job well and then go all out to win the championship."


    The reporters looked at each other, Aldridge''s tone was light, and it sounded like no one in the eyes, but think about it, Millwall has overturned Bayern Munich, Barcelona, ??Real Madrid this season.


    The league has steadily won four consecutive championships. Both Manchester United and Liverpool have been suppressed by Millwall in the league all year round. Audric said this is really justified.


    Whoever the opponent is!


    The reporters counted, and could no longer count the imaginary enemies that could challenge Millwall.


    In other words, the only enemy is Millwall himself!


    Therefore, Aldrich''s bland sentence, listening to the reporter''s ear, has become very connotative.


    Doing their own job well, nothing is more important!


    Asking Aldridge what else, it is estimated that there is no new content. The reporters turned their attention to Southgate.


    "Gares, do you regret that foul?"


    Southgate will miss the finals, of course he is not happy, facing the reporter, he said in a deep voice: "My duty is to avoid being scored by opponents, to defend their offense, if there is anything that I regret, it is I failed to seal Raul''s running route and let him run behind me. As for the foul and red card, I am very sorry for the team and the fans, but I don''t regret if that can avoid the team in that If you lose the ball at this stage."


    The reporters have different opinions on Southgate''s answer. Some people think that his foul is worthwhile. Others think that even if Real Madrid can get one back, Millwall will not be passive as long as he keeps the number balanced.


    In any case, Southgate is still the captain supported by Millwall fans. The team won and advanced. No one will blame his red card. On the contrary, more people will regret him.


    The next day, the club received many letters from fans, all for Southgate, Nedved, and Henry. The consolation, encouragement, worship, and fans expressed positive aspects.


    Aldrich came to the medical center and happened to see that Beckham was going outside, probably to review the injury. Now his injury has not reached the recovery stage, and he is still in the stage of healing. Beckham is still being escorted by Victoria Turning, he greeted Aldridge and asked, "Coach, do you go to Old Trafford to watch the ball at night?"


    Aldrich shook his head: "No, just watch TV at home, if you want to go back to Manchester, be careful."


    Beckham smiled and left with his wife.


    Aldrich shook his head, feeling subtle and weird.


    He found the team doctor and got the diagnosis reports of Nedved and Henry''s injuries.


    Both injuries were not serious. Henry was only slightly injured and he can recover in 5 days. He will certainly be able to catch up with the Champions League final. Nedved will need to be close to 2 weeks. Just when the Champions League final starts, this is still an optimistic expectation. If the injury is not recovered well, it may not be able to keep up. Furthermore, players who have just recovered should be used with caution.


    When Aldridge came home at night, Nedvide called him, expressing his desire to participate in the finals. Of course, he was able to actively deal with injuries and injuries. He would certainly be able to do it, but he hoped that it would be the day of the finals. , Aldridge can give him a chance.


    After 8 years of mentoring, Aldridge agreed to his request without hesitation.


    He knows that this year and this season has a special meaning for Nedved. The main teammates will go to the World Cup, but he has no World Cup to participate in. His final thoughts and expectations for this season are the Champions League finals. There is nothing else.


    But after hanging up the phone, Aldridge became very worried.


    Another game of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals is about to begin. In the living room, Burt and Earl are sitting on the sofa holding juice drink bottles, drinking with flavor, eyes staring at the TV and looking forward, Ewen sees Audridge He looked up and asked in a low voice: "What happened?"


    Aldrich shook his head: "Some things about the team."


    He sat down on the sofa and remembered the promise to Nedved, in fact, it was a violation of his coaching principles. If the team doctor thinks that Nedved¡¯s physical condition is not suitable for a fierce competition, Aldridge should reject Nedved De''s request, his promise, was said earlier.


    In the old Trafford game, the red derby played the same score in the first round within 90 minutes of the second round, 2:1, and the total score was 3:3.


    In the overtime, the two sides have no success, Liverpool''s bad luck in the cruel penalty shootout, Manchester United broke into the Champions League final this season!


    After the game, Aldridge went upstairs to rest.


    The following day, Fleet Street began to speculate in the Champions League final.


    "Millwall and Manchester United join the top of Europe!"


    "Hall and Ferguson compete in the Champions League!"


    "England rules Europe!"


    ...


    Ferguson praised his disciples for their hard fight against Liverpool after two rounds and reached the Champions League final. However, when looking forward to the Champions League final, his entire expression changed. He was excited in the first second and heavy in the second.


    "Manchester United really did not perform well in the league this season. The current ranking is not a manifestation of our strength, not the achievements this club should achieve, but coming to the Champions League is another matter. What will happen in a game, we cannot predict In 1999, I remember that almost everyone at the time thought Bayern Munich would beat Manchester United to win the Champions League. The result? The situation is very similar to three years ago, everyone is optimistic about Millwall, Manchester United is considered a disadvantage Side, but on the football field, not a strong winner, Manchester United has the ambition and will to bring the Champions League trophy back to Old Trafford again."


    Before the Premier League kicked off on the weekend, Aldridge was asked about his comments on Ferguson¡¯s comments: ¡°Manchester United strives for a win this season. This is a reaction that every team with a chance will have. It¡¯s normal and normal. , But the opportunities in front of Millwall are very different. We are creating a new history. Previously, no English team has achieved three consecutive Champions League championships. Now we have the opportunity to be the first English team to do it. This achievement, purely on ambitions, will Millwall be less than Manchester United? Bayern Munich is Bayern Munich, Millwall is Millwall, just as Manchester United used to face Millwall calmly, can it now?"


    A pair of enemies who have been fighting in the Premier League for seven years will once again stage a dragon fight in the Champions League final, the top of Europe!

 Chapter 791： They are so cute!

    This weekend, at the same time, another news came from Spain: Real Madrid officially announced that the coach Bosque was fired!


    Real Madrid lost a 5:9 in two rounds. The team lost and needed a scapegoat. So in the past two days, there have been newspapers in Spain condemning Bosque¡¯s platoon formation, on-site command, etc. All of his many "crimes", in fact, people with clear eyes are watching It can be concluded that this may be Real Madrid''s high-level media using the mouthpiece to build momentum, giving Florentino an excuse to oust Bosque, his humble coach.


    The housework of Spanish giants has nothing to do with Aldridge, and he is not interested in commenting.


    However, Fleet Street contacted Aldridge again about this matter. In Aldridge''s "coach killer" kill list, Bosque was honorably on the list.


    Even the news of the change of coaches in Barcelona is also linked. Rexacci is also responsible for the record-breaking big score defeat in the quarter-finals. Barcelona¡¯s poor league performance this season has questioned Rexacic. It¡¯s been known for a long time, but he led the team to shamelessly lost to Millwall and became a fuse, but Barcelona is not as decisive as Real Madrid, saying that dismissal is dismissed. After all, Rexacci has a deep in Barcelona. Qualification background, it is rumored that Rex Sachs will terminate the contract with the club after this season, Barcelona has also entered the stage of recruiting new coaches.


    Millwall was not disturbed by the outside world. The Premier League left the final three rounds of the league. The bench lineup won the first game. The second game went to the St. James Park Stadium. The 2:1 away force captured the magpie who was not willing to fight, because Newcastle United''s final ranking at the end of the season has basically stabilized. Their gap with Manchester United is more than 2 goals, destined to miss the top four, and at the same time opened the gap with Leeds United behind, locking the league fifth.


    Aldridge let the main lineup play a guaranteed state, and then returned to the home, ushered in the Premier League final battle, will be completed by the bench lineup this season''s Premier League curtain call.


    "37 games, 32 wins, 5 draws, 101 points, a new record in the Premier League!"


    By the end of the final battle, Millwall had successfully updated the league points record in the league this season, and they had set their own 100-point record. If the last round remained undefeated, this point record would be higher. One floor, and at the same time complete the second season undefeated to win the championship!


    A new record has also been set, with 79 undefeated races in various events across the year!


    Only this season, Millwall has remained undefeated in the domestic double-line cup, league, UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Champions League 16 wins, and in the history of the European War streak, the latest name has also been named Millwall.


    Everyone knows that Millwall is a contemporary king team and created a dynasty, but how to describe the strength of this dynasty team?


    Undefeated for more than 400 days?


    European War 20+ winning streak?


    The Premier League, the Champions League, England, the five major European leagues, all the records are countless, and of course there are countless championship trophies, which can be used to depict this crazy blue lion!


    In the Premier League finale, Millwall sat at home and ushered in the club''s leading enemy: the Hammer Gang.


    At the pre-match press conference, Aldridge congratulated West Ham United for their relegation success.


    "West Ham United has the same points as Ipswich, but has two more goal difference than Ipswich. Given Ipswich''s visit to Anfield this round, Liverpool will not give Manchester United points to exceed their chances. , Millwall will also send a bench to play against West Ham United, in fact, West Ham United has successfully relegated, congratulations to them, the first season to return to the Premier League, Rodel successfully helped the hammer to help relegation, they You can prepare for next season."


    Fleet Street interprets Aldridge''s remarks as a satire on West Ham United!


    As for his saying that West Ham United relegated successfully, this is also the mainstream media''s view of one of the ultimate suspense in the Premier League.


    There are two major suspense in the Premier League finale.


    First, Liverpool and Manchester United, who is third and who is fourth.


    The difference between the two teams is 1 point, Liverpool leading, and the fourth place is going to play in the Champions League qualifiers next season. Liverpool and Manchester United are certainly not happy.


    Second, the relegation suspense, the two teams at the end of the list were relegated early, leaving only Ipswich and West Ham to compete for a landing spot, and West Ham led the goal difference by two. Pcs.


    Millwall will play against West Ham at home, and will send off the bench. Their strength will decline.


    Ipswich is going to face Liverpool, which is full of resentment and war, who is in a more dangerous situation? There is no doubt that Ipswich.


    The atmosphere of the East London Derby was reduced in this game, because the fans of the crazy lions were distracted, the fans were worried about the injury of the main players, Henry resumed training, Nedvide was still healing, thinking about 4 days after the foot The final of the Finals against Arsenal and the final of the Champions League with Manchester United 7 days later!


    "The final round of the Premier League in the 01-02 season will start at the same time. We will come to the Lion King Stadium in East London and broadcast this East London Derby live. There will be a league championship award ceremony after the game, Milwaukee. Earl actually won the league title five rounds in advance, even if Arsenal performed exceptionally bravely this season, they scored 84 points in 37 rounds, but compared with Millwall''s 101 points, it really seems too far away. Millwall today With a full bench, they will focus their energy mainly on the future FA Cup finals and the Champions League finals."


    Four days later in the FA Cup final, Aldridge still intends to use the bench, except for Southgate.


    On the one hand, it is afraid that the main force will be injured again, on the other hand, it is to ensure physical fitness.


    When Aldridge walked into the stadium, he was applauded and welcomed by fans like crazy kings.


    Millwall has won five championships this season, and the shining records have been written again. Fans can''t ask for more from him. All they can do is be grateful and worship.


    Aldridge applauded to the stands, then walked to shake hands with Rodel, and returned to the coach seat without chatting.


    The Premier League championship trophy was placed on the sidelines and the championship award ceremony will be held after the game.


    Some of the main players are sitting in the stands behind the team¡¯s coach seat, and some are sitting on the bench. Their mentality is more relaxed, but in the background of the East London Derby game, they dare not ignore their opponents obviously, so as not to be criticized by the outside for lack of Respect for the club''s tradition, after all, their opponent is a century old enemy.


    Since the bench will play the FA Cup final four days later, Millwall will not fight too fiercely in the final game of the league. After the opening, he will be based on control and will not speed up the game.


    West Ham United came back in a trembling fight, a little worried if Liverpool were to lose in another game, they were not confident they could take away the victory at the Lion King Stadium, even the draw is a luxury, since Millwall is not strong to attack , They will not be rushed to grab a solid defense, the scene is lukewarm for a while.


    10 minutes before the game, Millwall''s possession rate reached 85%!


    West Ham United did not snatch, Millwall patiently cut through, without the best chance, will not easily end the offense.


    Rodell stood serious on the sidelines. His condition was fearful. In the event of a loss, Ipswich''s side was flat and West Ham United was about to be relegated!


    He couldn''t distract from the real-time information of another game.


    It only took 10 minutes to play the game, good news!


    An assistant from the West Ham United coaches ran out and said to Rodell: "Liverpool lead, 1:0!"


    Rodell looked happy, well, the Red Army is the Red Army, fight, fight Ipswich to death!


    He just had fun in his heart, and his assistant ran back again. Rodel''s face sank and he thought: Malegobi, wouldn''t Ipswich equalize the score immediately?


    "Good news, Liverpool scored 2 goals in 2 minutes, and it is now 2-0 ahead of Ipswich!"


    Rodel was really relaxed at this time, exhaled with relief, and smiled: "Well, this is completely safe."


    West Ham lead Ipswich by 1 point in the real-time standings and lead by 4 goal difference. Unless they lose Millwall 5 goals, they will fall behind Ipswich because If the goal difference is the same, West Ham United has 3 more goals than Ipswich. Obviously, Ipswich cannot score 3 goals at Anfield!


    The Hammer Gang fans were ecstatic in the stands, and they also learned about the battle situation at Anfield. The news gave them a peace of mind.


    The Hammer Gang stays stable in the Premier League!


    Aldrich noticed the away team¡¯s fans and turned his head curiously, asking, "What are they happy about?"


    Klinsmann and Jenson were confused, and Boas reached his head from behind. He plugged his right ear with a headset and said, "Liverpool leads Ipswich 2-0."


    "Oh I got it."


    Aldridge didn''t take it seriously.


    The situation on the field was abrupt, and Millwall''s substitute players were in control today. They organized their attacks in an orderly manner and made full use of the space on the field. In the 13th minute, Alonso intervened with Ramall and hit the wall. Offside Villa, who pulled the ball diagonally into the goal and sent the ball into the goal.


    Millwall 1: 0 West Ham United.


    Fans of the crazy lions in the stands applauded and celebrated today. There was an awards ceremony today, so the major fan organizations came to the scene as much as possible to cheer the team.


    After celebrating the goal with the fans around him, Brady suddenly asked: "What are the fans of West Ham United just happy?"


    "Liverpool scored two goals in Ipswich in 75 seconds. They are of course happy, ha ha."


    Brady touched his chin thoughtfully, and Thor next to him pushed and asked, "What do you want?"


    Brady said: "I suddenly remembered the situation in which we had a final fight with Manchester United and Arsenal one year."


    "Hah, do you miss it? Arsenal won at the last minute to win the championship! Although that is exciting, now neither Manchester United nor Arsenal have the strength to compete with us to the final round."


    "I don''t miss that, I remember, what were we shouting from the stands at that time?"


    Saul recalled and applauded: "At that time Manchester United took the lead and Arsenal''s chances of winning are gone. We are spreading the news to Arsenal''s players in the stands to fight their morale!"


    Brady said with a smile: "Yes, I have nothing to do today, just playing with the hammer."


    "Huh? What''s the matter? Liverpool lead Ipswich 2-0, don''t we shout out the score and tell the players of West Ham United? Isn''t it more to make them stand firm?" Saul was puzzled.


    "Hah, you are stupid, we shout whatever we want. Do West Ham players on the field run out to ask the facts? Even if they do, they will be distracted. Otherwise, how to play where are they?"


    Brady was very happy with his whimsy.


    Saul opened his eyes and nodded, "Yeah, yes, we shout whatever we want, haha, they are playing and they don''t know the facts."


    Indeed, the fans'' shouts in the stands are very unscrupulous, even if they are cursing, they will be more elegant, such as writing into the lyrics and singing, often with ingenious tricks.


    When you think about it, Brady immediately unified their slogan and sent a signal to the people around them. These fan organizations usually contact each other, and sometimes help each other when they go to watch the game away. So when Brady stands in their, Thousands of people collectively shouted slogans and quickly received responses from other stands.


    "Liverpool 1:1 Ipswich!"


    "Liverpool 1:1 Ipswich!"


    The South Stand first heard such a neat cry.


    There was a commotion in the other stands.


    "Eh? What is the roar of the south stands?"


    "Looks like Liverpool''s score? 1:1, it seems wrong, 2:0 is right."


    "Haha, I see, they are disturbing West Ham United, shout, let''s keep up! Scare West Ham United!"


    After a minute, the Lion King Stadium echoed "Liverpool 1:1 Ipswich".


    The visiting team fans were dumbfounded and checked each other''s scores on Anfield.


    The news they heard was 2:0, but "a lie is truth for thousands of times." When nearly 60,000 people shouted this message, they also panicked, fearing that they had received the wrong information before.


    Aldridge was also caught off guard. He frowned and turned to ask Boas: "Did you just say Liverpool took a 2-0 lead? Was it pulled back one, or canceled a goal, and then Ipswich again Entered one?"


    Boas was also a little flustered. He was listening to the commentary of the live broadcast of the radio game. No narrator would repeat the score at the time in the commentary game. Boas also wondered if he had heard the wrong thing before because of one heart Second use without hearing the commentator say Ipswich scored.


    Aldridge did not wait for Boas to verify the results and wanted to understand what was happening in the stands.


    "Hahahaha, they are so cute!"


    Aldridge stooped and laughed.


    At the same time, the West Ham players on the field were thunderbolt.


    Liverpool of the mud horse!


    How can you make Ipswich tie the score?


    If there is a draw over there, here, here, grass, here we are falling behind!


    In front of the players on West Ham United, it seemed as if a door had been opened with two words on the door: relegation.

 Chapter 792： Paradox game

    The closeness of the English stadium stands to the playing field is most vividly reflected in this game. When the fans of the whole lion shouted "Liverpool 1:1 Ipswich" cheerfully, even the West Ham United coaching staff All had the illusion: Did you make a mistake before?


    The players on the field are even more confused. In fact, from the previous celebration of the visiting team fans in the stands, they have guessed that Ipswich fell behind in Anfield, and his mentality has stabilized, even if Millwall scored one. The ball is not too panic.


    However, the whole stadium echoed the news of Ipswich''s equalization on the road like a tsunami, which made them completely panicked!


    It''s really about to be downgraded.


    In this panic, Millwall¡¯s players immediately seized the opportunity, they would not care what Liverpool¡¯s score was, they focused on the game before them, in the locker room before the game, Odric asked them, also To put it clearly, today''s game is an assessment. Players who perform well will get the starting position of the FA Cup final. If the performance is not good, the FA Cup final can only be watched.


    Klose withdrew the ball in response to Alonso, and the defender behind hurriedly grabbed. Klose turned from the other side to grab the ball and turned around. Before the defender line, he collided with Villa to hit the wall and then entered the penalty area. , And then push the ball into the goal.


    The whole goal process was done in one go, without any mess.


    "2:0, Millwall is in good shape today, West Ham United is a little distracted, and the concentration is not focused enough. They seem to be slow or irritable, or they may be affected by the atmosphere on the court, Millwall Fans are disturbing West Ham players with fake news. We follow up on Anfield¡¯s game in real time and can assure all spectators that the score on that side is now 2:0 instead of 1:1.¡±


    The narrator is meant to be listened to by the TV audience, and fans on the spot will certainly not hear it unless listening to the live commentary of the radio station.


    When Klose scored a goal, the on-site cries stopped and turned into cheers and applause. Not only did the fans in the stands stand up and down with a sense of accomplishment, but Aldridge also bent down on the coach seat to hug his haha laughing out loud.


    What is the atmosphere at home?


    On the one hand, cheer for the home team and improve team morale.


    On the other hand is to put pressure on opponents, common boos, crazy provocative words and deeds of fans in the stands are true portrayals.


    Today, Millwall fans have played the role of disrupting the enemy''s military mind to the extreme!


    Roder saw the team lost the second ball, and the assistant coach also verified the situation at Anfield. It was indeed 2:0.


    Both sides are 2:0, West Ham United is not dangerous, unless they will be scored three more times!


    Settled, Rodell was angry at Millwall''s indecent behavior, but had no way to do it, so he continued to shout into the court to tell the players Anfield''s real score.


    After shouting, Rodel felt sad again.


    Destiny is not in their own hands.


    To put it bluntly, it depends on people''s eyes and wants to make a difference in the Lion King Stadium.


    So he didn''t ask Millwall to be merciful, and he couldn''t count on the team''s ambition to take the hard results here. He could only pray for the Reds Liverpool to fully fire and smash Ipswich into scum!


    With today¡¯s awards ceremony and the background of the East London Derby, the FA is concerned that the two rivals in East London will make the award ceremony a mess because of hatred. Therefore, Millwall gives the visiting team a small number of tickets. The FA Not involved in management.


    The hammer hammer fans who came to less than five thousand away also started to try to make the team stable by calling the score.


    "Liverpool 2:0 Ipswich!"


    The visiting team has few people and the momentum is slightly weaker, but when the fans of the home team succumbed, this voice still spread to every corner of the stadium.


    After hearing it, Aldridge turned to Klinsmann and said, "From the time I watched the ball to the time I coached, for so many years, this is the most weird game I have ever experienced."


    "Hahaha, yes, it''s so weird."


    East London Derby, the fans on both sides are clamoring for the score of another game in the stands, while lying and telling the truth...


    West Ham players stabilized their hearts and felt a roller coaster.


    The current score is actually the same as the situation at the beginning. If West Ham United will be relegated, Millwall will score another three goals.


    Aldridge found that West Ham did not dare to attack today, so he stood up and walked to the sidelines. Since the fans are struggling to suppress the enemy, he is restricted by the schedule today and he cannot send the strongest lineup. At least now the score can also be given to the fans. Explained, but he felt it was not enough, he could do more.


    It was like he was interacting with the cute fans of the crazy lion, and everyone worked together to fight for the same goal.


    Aldrich gave the team an offensive order, the focus is on the two side forward assists, anyway, the other party did not dare to attack, even if the counterattack, can not make a precise large-scale transfer, Millwall has nothing to fear.


    Baines and Neal were transferred from the youth team to one side. After the assists went up, Baines was more cautious, and the ball was mainly played with stable responses. Neal made a bold cross.


    West Ham United cannot concentrate all their energy on the game and always care about another game at Anfield. This is a taboo in the game!


    In the 30th minute, Neil went to the bottom after working with Villa on the wing, dribbling against the bottom line and dribbling inside the penalty area, and then attracting West Ham United''s rear line position closer to the bottom line, he then returned to the restricted area gourd top In the position, Alonso, who was plugged in from the front, shot a long shot through the door of West Ham United again.


    "3:0, West Ham lost another goal, they just wanted to block the goal, the personnel retreated too deep, lack of perimeter protection, the defense system had no sense of hierarchy, but they couldn''t block the goal, Alonso''s The long shot flew into the upper left corner of the goal from the gap between people, beautiful long shot!"


    The players of West Ham United were numb and confused.


    Only 2 **** away from relegation!


    Rodel gritted his teeth and turned his head to look at Aldridge, who was sitting back in the coach''s seat.


    The young coach before the game also congratulated West Ham United for their relegation success.


    Nonsense!


    Absolutely not good intentions, is to let West Ham United relax, this is the rhythm of West Ham United to play in the relegation abyss!


    After five minutes.


    The South Stand again heard the cry of broadcasting the score.


    "Liverpool 2:1 Ipswich!"


    Fans in the other stands no longer need to think about it and immediately follow.


    "Liverpool 2:1 Ipswich!"


    Today¡¯s scene at Lion King Stadium is completely new and strange.


    West Ham players are going crazy.


    If Ipswich really pulls back a goal, the two teams'' goal difference will be even. If they lose another goal, they will be relegated. If Ipswich scores another goal, Ipswich will not only score points West Ham United, the number of goals will be even, the goal difference is one lead West Ham United!


    Away team fans have previous experience, they must always follow the progress of Anfield¡¯s score, knowing that the fans of the Lions are lying about the military situation, Anfield¡¯s side is still 2:0, so they also began to shout, but the momentum is not covered. Live home team!


    When West Ham United players are in a panic, the defensive moves are a bit risky. Escort.


    Lamor once dribble the ball into the penalty area and was knocked down by the opponent directly from the side. The referee awarded a penalty!


    Rodel snarled frantically at the fourth official.


    "Damn, is there any sporting spirit in this stadium? Liverpool are clearly leading Ipswich 2-0, what do their fans say? They are interfering with the game!"


    The fourth official had nothing to do with himself, but when he saw the angry Rodell, he listened to what he said and almost laughed.


    The fourth official smiled and said to Rodol: "But we can''t cancel the penalty penalty because of what the fans in the stands are saying? The foul on the court, penalty penalty, there is no dispute."


    Rodton was speechless and walked back resentfully.


    Penalty created by Ramor, he personally fought, anyway Klose is not interested, Villa has a goal, and let Ramor take the penalty.


    The penalty kick came in.


    "4:0, Millwall killed the game in the first half. Don''t doubt the strength of Millwall''s backup lineup. Know that their lineup has already won the League Cup and the FA Cup has reached the final. You¡¯re so powerful that you can¡¯t look at it with ordinary eyes!¡±


    At this moment, the game is completely out of control.


    Rodel did not know what to do.


    Anfield is still 2:0, and Ipswich is estimated to have gotten the score progress of the game on this side, and simply set up the iron bucket array in Anfield.


    It is funny to say that the two teams had the same points before the start of the game, and they both want to be relegation teams of the strong leagues of the away league. Now they are pinning their hopes on the strong teams of another stadium.


    West Ham United is counting on the Reds to crush Ipswich.


    Ipswich again expected the mad lion to step on the flat hammer gang.


    But in Anfield, no Red Army fans will shout the score of the East London Derby in the stands, and even Red Army fans are reluctant to mention Millwall''s name.


    Just at the Lion King Stadium, from time to time, there will be fans of crazy lions shouting the score process of Liverpool vs. Ipswich!


    2: 0!


    4:0!


    Reality has forced West Ham to the edge of the cliff.


    They have the same goal difference as Ipswich and have the same goal difference. They lead the opponent with more goals.


    Now is the crucial moment for a goal to be alive and dead. West Ham United concedes a goal, or Ipswich scores a goal. That is the end of heaven and hell.


    Between the first line of life and death, West Ham was still defending, but after 40 minutes, Millwall fans began to call the fake news that Ipswich pulled a goal, and the worried hammer was almost tortured. .


    Before the end of the first half, Klose''s header broke the goal, and they completely broke into the abyss!

 Chapter 793： God abandon

    Playing Millwall is obviously not purely defensive. West Ham is in the ranks of relegation. The quality of the defense itself is not high. The lack of suitable defensive tactics based on the number advantage alone, coupled with the inability to devote himself to the game, was divided by Anfield. Heart, the defensive effect is terrible.


    Before the end of the first half, Ramor made a 45-degree pass from the wing, Klose hit the ball from the back point and threw the ball into the goal. During this goal, it can be seen that West Ham United is completely Defensively statically, very poorly done in man-to-man switching and area protection.


    "5:0, okay, in the first half Millwall played a crazy game. Now the Lion King Stadium has stopped broadcasting the score of Anfield''s game. It doesn''t matter whether it is rumor or the truth. In the real-time standings, West Ham United lost one to Liverpool''s Ipswich because of a goal difference of 0:2. Therefore, West Ham United is ranked 18th in the Premier League and the penultimate league. If the game is over now Now, they can prepare for the next season in the Premier League. Fortunately, they still have 45 minutes to reverse their fate!"


    When the two sides approached the player''s channel during the halftime break, there was almost a conflict. West Ham United coach Rodell attacked Aldridge at a distance of 3 meters!


    "Hall, your team is a shame!"


    "Do you want to win in this way?"


    "Millwall is a cancer in the Premier League!"


    puff!


    The crowd did not know who spit at Rodol and spit on his face. It wasn¡¯t Aldridge anyway, he didn¡¯t even look back.


    Roder was completely irritated, coming to fight!


    The field staff and the referee immediately separated the two teams. Neal hated West Ham United. The most serious injury in his career came from the invasion of West Ham United. Therefore, he passed by Rodol At that time, when I heard the other person swearing and spitting, it was already a bit confusing at the time. There was no camera here, and no one knew it except Klose beside him.


    "Shut up your mouth! You should dance here to celebrate that you only lost 5 balls, don''t whisper like a lady there, have the ability to take a look at us in the second half, idiot!"


    Neil said these words in a fair and honest way.


    "Lucas, stop talking and enter the dressing room."


    Aldridge yelled back, and then Millwall¡¯s players ignored the West Ham players like explosives barrels and walked into the locker room first.


    Rodel was going crazy.


    This is not a true portrayal of his mood, but to outsiders, he is already on the verge of losing his mind.


    The referee team and Millwall staff sympathized with him.


    It was a good situation, and the result came to the threshold of relegation step by step.


    The home atmosphere of the Lion King Stadium is the main reason for his approach to collapse. Without fans who roared in the stands, how could West Ham United chase itself, there is no team at all on the field.


    Back in the locker room, Aldridge calmly said to all players: "To be honest, you surprised me, no, marvel! In my expectation, even if we played well, we won 2 goals in the first half. Almost, but you actually wrote the score as 5:0, grass, this is a fantastic score, of course, you also know that our fans will not cause trouble for West Ham United without our fans in the stands Give us a chance so easily."


    The players sitting in the chairs held their heads high, and they were very proud. Today''s game was awesome for them. The opponent was simply unbeatable, and the fans in the stands were extremely cute.


    "There are 45 minutes left in the game. Now, let''s analyze the situation in the second half. West Ham United dropped one place in the standings. They are going to rise up and return from the relegation zone to a safe zone, or Ipswich will Throw a goal, or they score a goal, but will they pin their hopes on Liverpool? What if Ipswich scored at Anfield in the first half? Then wouldn¡¯t they completely lose hope of relegation? So, They will attack and try to reshape the game. We still have the FA Cup final and the UEFA Champions League final. You are all important forces for us to finally hit the championship, so we have to play smarter in the second half to save energy, Let the other party continue to pay the price."


    Aldrich said so much, in fact, it was nothing more than telling the team: We played anti-anti in the second half.


    The background and situation of the game required for anti-counterfeiting have been qualified. Millwall can play anti-anti-evening even if he leads 5:0, because West Ham has to attack.


    The reason he said it was to keep the players clear. If the tactics are arranged directly, it is inevitable that there will be players who are taken lightly because of the crazy score in the first half. The most important thing for a team is unified thinking.


    After explaining the tactics with the team, rearranging the formation position, reminding the defense of the key area, Aldridge let the team play, and the substitute players of this game also warmed up after the start of the second half.


    In the second half, West Ham United really increased the offensive force, and improved the defensive aggression, the offense held high, the defense was fierce and barbaric, and Millwall was not used to it at first. After about 10 minutes, Millwall began to stand With a firm footing, the referee''s drawing of cards to suppress the anger on the field also played a certain role.


    In the 57th minute, in front of the West Ham United coach seat, Rodel¡¯s assistant ran out again, intending to report to Rodel the latest news from Anfield.


    However, the assistant did not have the opportunity to speak, and the audience was watching Millwall''s counterattack this time.


    Ramallah drove the ball to the side for a long-distance attack. West Ham United defended the backcourt empty. Klose in the middle was closely watched. Ramall made a precise long pass transfer and was a ground ball.


    The pass crossed the half, and the strength and angle were well in place. It was just 2 meters behind Klose, and the defense player rolled to the front right of the penalty area on a route that was not reachable by the defender. The first option after touching the ball was not to move forward, but backtracked back to the middle, allowing West Ham''s defensive player to stop and turn around to intercept him. Obviously, it is unlikely to be possible.


    The Villar did a good job of coherent ball combination and took the anti-cut route to enter the penalty area. After Klose did him for him, he vigorously volleyed the goal with a small angle. This goal was won by no one. Interference, he was very sure, the ball was heavy, and flew into the goal beside the goalkeeper''s arm.


    "At 6:0, Millwall went to the next city. This counterattack, West Ham United didn''t even have a chance to foul! Oh my God, West Ham United''s nightmare is not over yet. When is the end? "


    Rodel closed his eyes weakly and opened it again to find the assistant standing beside him. He asked in a deep voice, "What''s the matter?"


    "Uh¡­¡­"


    "Say!"


    "20 seconds ago, Liverpool scored the third goal at Anfield, leading Ipswich 3:0!"


    "What?! WTF! Why didn''t you say it early!"


    Rodell was so angry that he was going crazy.


    If Liverpool scored the third goal, how could West Ham use the initiative?


    As long as the sixth goal is not lost, they have the same goal difference as Ipswich, but West Ham United has the advantage of scoring and will return to the 17th place in the standings!


    Rodell¡¯s assistant wants to cry without tears, even if I told you 20 seconds ago, is it useful?


    Can you immediately bring the team back to the iron bucket array?


    3: 0!


    6:0!


    There was no change in the situation and the end of the halftime, and Rodel felt that even God didn''t help them.


    If Liverpool can score 3 minutes earlier, he will adjust the team''s offensive and defensive posture when he hears the news, how can he give Millwall a counterattack space?


    What can I do now?


    Can only continue to attack, praying for West Ham to enter one and regain control of destiny.


    Aldridge and Millwall fans in the stands also knew the news, making them even more unforgettable when celebrating the goal.


    The West Ham United players collapsed on the field. After 3 minutes, Millwall once again got an excellent opportunity to counterattack. The last defensive player directly used a clamshell action to knock Klose down to the ground. The referee There is already some sympathy for West Ham United, but he still took out a red card and sent it off. If the action is not given a red card, it is really unreasonable and the level of law enforcement will be questioned.


    Aldridge was almost ready, so he called Kaka, Ronaldo, and De Rossi to the sidelines. The three had warmed up for a short time, and they had been looking forward to their debut, especially Ronaldo. Today¡¯s debut He is of great significance.


    Before they played, Aldridge put their arms around their shoulders to give them a post-court mission.


    De Rossi must be defensive, but Aldrich deliberately explained that he should pay attention to the observation of the game situation, that is, the overall situation and broad vision.


    Kaka and Ronaldo counterattacked. Even Aldridge gave Ronaldo the privilege to press the opponent''s defense line. When the defender turned to attack, he could look at the time and counter offside.


    Aldridge didn''t delay the time, he replaced three people at once when he had the chance to die.


    "Klose, Villa and Ramall came off the court. The three scoring heroes were cheered by the fans. The atmosphere was much warmer than other times. The three of them became Derby heroes. This will be theirs An unforgettable day! At the same time, De Rossi, Kaka, C Ronaldo, and C Ronaldo also reached the standard in the Premier League championship medal issuance requirements after the debut. This young guy who was promoted to the first team in the middle of the season can play in the game. After winning the medal of the first important championship in his career, I hope he can temporarily forget this and focus his attention on the game first."


    Cristiano Ronaldo''s eyes were as cold as a beast. He didn''t come to mix the championship, and no one would think so, but he still needs to further prove himself and leave him a deep and unforgettable figure in the league this season.

 Chapter 794： Miracle of defeat

    Crazy Lion fans are definitely here for a party today, and they are too lazy to mock and ridicule their enemies. Before the game, many people hoped that Millwall could replicate the "great achievements" of kicking Westham United down. In the future, the team will have the FA Cup final, the Champions League final, and the finals will not be the main force. The second team will be dispatched. The fans can only dream about it, but they dare not really use it as a requirement.


    However, when the first half ended, they found that West Ham United had fallen into the relegation zone, which made them excited and crazy. Many people will use the radio to listen to the progress of another game in the second half. Which one? Of course it was Liverpool''s home game against Ipswich.


    They hope that Ipswich will be more upset and resist the resenting Red Army Liverpool at Anfield.


    Liverpool¡¯s Champions League semi-final was eliminated, and the last round will be overtaken by Manchester United to retain the third place in the league. They are one point more than Manchester United points. As long as they win Ipswich, they can reach the goal, but it may be the league finale. After the Red Army finished this game, it officially ended all the schedules of the season, so they extraordinarily worked hard to beat Ipswich one, not enough, two, already insured, still not enough, waiting for the third, The Red Army seemed to be dissatisfied and did not mean to close up.


    At the Lion King Stadium, fans of the mad lions in the stands listened to the radio, and live commentators explained how Liverpool''s offensive was fierce and how it created a dangerous situation in front of the door, which caused the fans to scream.


    "Fuck, the Red Army is capable at this point. You are awe-inspiring to abuse vegetables. Why can''t you beat the strong team!"


    "Ipswich is too soft, right? Stand up, stand up!"


    In the 74th minute of the game, Sol standing next to Brady took off the earplugs of the radio from his ears and scolded: "Grass, Liverpool got another one! Ipswich is doing yarn! They are in Relegation with West Ham United! Wrong, right? This is not an upgrade playoff, it is a relegation, scrambling..."


    "Huh? Is there 4:0 over there?"


    "Yeah, Ipswich is really unreliable!"


    "Then we will help them again. Come and continue to play with the hammer, it''s fun."


    Saul is not as fast as Brady. He is scolding Ipswich, but Brady wants to repeat his tricks and lie about the military.


    After a while, a cry of "Liverpool 3:1 Ipswich" came from the South Stand, and the momentum grew instantly, and the entire stadium reverberated.


    Upon hearing this, the players of West Ham suddenly deflated. What was originally a one-ball gap has now become two goals. How can this be pursued?


    Rodel shouted into the field with exaggerated limb movements.


    "They are lying! WTF! Defend! We are defending now! Liverpool have done 4 Ipswich! 4! We are now 17th in the standings, we escaped the relegation zone, we..."


    Rodel snarled in his throat, and his voice was almost dumb, and his voice went out of tune.


    The West Ham players were a bit discouraged, and they really couldn''t hold it.


    It has been filled with six, and the haze of the relegation has shrouded the heart. There is still one less person on the field. It can''t hold on, and it can''t be completely defeated.


    Millwall sent a fresh force on the field but was very fierce. Cristiano Ronaldo successfully responded to Kaka''s straight ball and counter-offside. 7:0.


    Rodell squatted with his head on the sidelines and looked at the scene on the field inconceivably.


    incredible.


    incredible!


    West Ham United clearly controlled their destiny most of the time.


    However, the team took a lot of roller coaster rides, and the player''s psychological defense line was finally crushed by the crazy lion, and completely collapsed.


    Perhaps many players on the field have done a good job of relegation.


    Rather than suffering, it is better to hurry up and simply downgrade!


    Seeing Cristiano Ronaldo''s goal, all the fans who participated in the shouting in the stands all embraced or clapped to celebrate, jumping up and down in excitement, as if they were scoring at the stadium and fell into a crazy celebration.


    Brady and Sol also celebrated with high-five. They silently said in their hearts: Ipswich, brother can only help you get here!


    Roder commanded the team exhaustedly, but no player was willing to listen to him. The players on the field just wanted to end the game as soon as possible and escape the nightmarish stadium.


    Roder found at this time that not only did the game run out of control, but his control of the team also completely disappeared.


    West Ham United, completely collapsed!


    In other words, dismembered by Millwall II in this game!


    In the 83rd minute of the game, Anfield again heard the news.


    Liverpool seemed to be playing chicken blood today, but the Reds had to fight against the crazy lion, they scored another goal in Ipswich!


    Roder''s voice was dumb. He murmured hoarsely: "We have a chance to relegation, we have a chance to relegation. Come on, hold on, as long as you don''t lose the ball, we can stay in the Premier League, we can stay in Premier League..."


    But at this time, West Ham United, who had lost its heart and had no resistance, completely lost its fighting spirit. The game was about to end, and Aldridge walked to the side of the court to make the same behavior as he did five years ago.


    With a big wave, command the whole team to attack!


    The defender left a Metzelder, the others, all rushed up, pressed up, rushed up for Lao Tzu, and turned the hammer!


    Therefore, in the final stage, Millwall used a long pass to suspend the tactics, constantly hitting the goal of West Ham United, creating a chaos in the restricted area in front of the goal in the 88th minute. Ronaldo was lucky. , Picking up the opportunity to kick the ball towards the goal during the scuffle, and then the ball rolls from the opponent''s goalkeeper''s legs.


    Ronaldo, running to the side of the court, became a hero in the hearts of fans.


    It was this goal that kicked West Ham back into the relegation zone!


    "Here, what kind of game is this? The Premier League, no, Sky Sports should organize the two games that ended in Liverpool and Millwall, and then make a show, Ipp Switch is now 0:5 behind Liverpool. Their goal difference to West Ham United has changed from 2 to 7 before the start of the game. However, West Ham United was slaughtered at the Lion King Stadium by 8 The ball, as long as Ipswich no longer concedes the goal, West Ham United cannot score in the last few minutes left. So, Ipswich will instead be relegated and succeed, this, this, is this a miracle? Is it a miracle of Ipswich? Is it a miracle that should result in a 0:5 disastrous defeat? But this was actually staged in front of my eyes..."


    Aldrich is just like the fans in the stands. Today is a crazy day, whether it is a fan player of West Ham United or a fan and player of Millwall.


    Aldridge really had no idea that he could relegate West Ham to relegation.


    too difficult!


    Liverpool will not give Ipswich any chance. If they want to overpower Manchester United, they will definitely take out all their real skills and fight with Ipswich, even if Ipswich loses, If Millwall wants to kick West Ham United into relegation, he has to score four goals for West Ham United.


    Rodel must also know this prerequisite, so West Ham United only needs to put the bus in 90 minutes, facing Millwall''s second team, the backup lineup, can''t hold 4 goals?


    Where did the deviation begin from the development of the expected situation? Where is this turning point?


    Aldrich thought about it, he thought it should be when the fans of the Lions started shouting "Liverpool 1:1 Ipswich" in the stands, both distracting West Ham and disturbing. The military mind brought mental pressure and psychological blow to the other party.


    This kind of situation does not happen at all times. It requires a specific environment and a specific game background. For example, when Millwall and Manchester United, Arsenal won the last minute, the fans used the score of the Manchester United game to fight Arsenal players. Morale, in turn today, is not a championship, but a belief against West Ham United¡¯s relegation. Is it useful for other times?


    Aldridge served, really convinced the fans in the stands.


    When the midfield whistle sounded, the Lion King Stadium burst into loud cheers, and the applause continued to flow for a long time.


    The narrators were ignorant.


    "The Premier League finale is over. This season all the Premier League games are over. The last round of suspense has also been revealed. Liverpool locked in the league third, Manchester United fourth, and Ipswich ranked 18th in the Premier League before the game. After ending the season with a 0:5 defeat, they miraculously relegated and succeeded in ranking, rising by one position, overtaking West Ham United, who was defeated by Millwall''s substitute lineup 8-0 in 90 minutes with a goal difference. Team, this is probably the craziest relegation battle ever? It is also the most incredible team relegation track."


    At the end of the game, all Millwall players, those on the bench, those sitting in the stands, and the coach, all walked into the court to celebrate the championship.


    Aldridge walked into the court and began to worship each side of the stands. He was thanking the fans, while the stands were whistling, applauding and bursting.


    West Ham players fled the stadium with their heads down, and the nightmarish game ended.


    Rodel could not stand the blow. He saw Aldridge actually bowing and pressing his hands to the fans in the stands, which made him very angry. The whole person rushed towards Aldridge like a beast.


    He knew that he would become the laughing stock of British football.


    West Ham have always had a chance. Even in the last 10 minutes, they can avoid relegation before Ronaldo scored. As long as they start from the first minute, they will stick to the ground and discard all unrealistic ideas. In the end, even if the goal is blocked with 11 people, they will certainly be able to relegate successfully, even at halftime.


    However, West Ham United still walked into the Premier League from the Premier League in the constant swing and self-confidence.


    "Hall, FuckYou! How can you have a face like this? You hypocritical guy! Villain! With such mean means! You bug!"


    Rodel didn¡¯t know if everything that happened today was well-designed by Millwall, maybe the fans in the stands before the game had negotiated it so!


    Aldridge was startled and turned around to look around. He saw Rodell''s sly-looking coach, who looked like he was going to hit him with two punches, but was caught by the court security.


    The more he lost his gaze, the more crazy he was, and the more he made Millwall fans happy in the stands.


    Fans coaxed in the stands, mocked Rodel, and even fans rushed into the court to try to protect Aldridge, or ran directly to attack Rodel.


    In other places, he still dares to threaten Aldridge¡¯s personal safety at the Lion King Stadium.


    Don¡¯t look at what stands behind Aldridge?


    Tens of thousands of crazy lion fans!


    You **** dead!


    Fortunately, Millwall''s players immediately blocked a large number of fans who rushed into the field. They helped the security guard to block the fans from being harmful to Rodel.


    Aldridge passed the initial shock and stabilized his mind. He shook his head with a smile on his hips and said to Rodol, who was dragged out by the security guard: "Don¡¯t do this. It¡¯s too ugly. If you lose, you lose. No one will. What to give you, I will switch positions with you, you will not be lighter than me, only more ruthless, it doesn¡¯t matter if you call me, this venue, the winner is strong, the loser is weak, maybe in your eyes we are despicable , But what does that matter? I don¡¯t care what you think."


    Rodel still has a cracking expression, and it is estimated that today''s fiasco has hit him too much, especially because of the heavy guilt of the team from heaven to hell.


    When he was taken away by the security guard, Aldridge put him behind, and then prepared for Millwall''s award ceremony.

 Chapter 795： Three times

    Anfield.


    Liverpool completed all the games this season, ending 5:0 to sweep Ipswich as a tribute to thank fans for their support throughout the season.


    The Red Army is celebrating the final, and then the international will go to the national team for the World Cup. If there is no task for the national team, they will go on vacation.


    There are actually a lot of fans who came to support Ipswich on the road, because for Ipswich, it is a remarkable achievement for them to get on the Premier League. Last season, Ipswich made the outside world dumbfounded. Having reached the top of the standings, and also qualified for the UEFA Cup. This season, taking into account the European War, the team not only did not strengthen the recruitment, but also let go of the two main forces of last season. Under the premise of lack of changes in play, this season''s performance is natural With a significant decline, Ipswich¡¯s fans still have expectations for the team¡¯s relegation at the end of the game, because their relegation opponent West Ham United is going to play the East London Derby, Millwall gave No one can release water to West Ham United. Their expectation before the game is that Ipswich can take a point at Anfield. West Ham United will lose the East London Derby, then Ipswich will Will be relegated successfully.


    However, after losing even two goals in the first half, Ipswich fans became emotionally disheartened and looked sad, and the door to relegation was already open to their beloved team.


    But in the second half of the game, Ipswich fans in the stands were even crazier than Anfield¡¯s Red Army fans. They learned that Millwall¡¯s goal after goal was destroying the hammer, despite Ipswich¡¯s loss. The ball continues, but they are increasingly optimistic about the team''s relegation situation.


    When the game ended, the cruel 5:0 on the scoreboard did not disappoint Ipswich.


    There was a weird scene on the court. The Red Army players applauded the fans in the stands, and the Ipswich players walked to the coach to look for news nervously.


    Coach George Burley, the coach who led the team to an incredible ranking last season, got the best manager of the Premier League last season. Today he also thinks that the team cannot avoid relegation. At this time, he frantically yelled at the assistants. Tao: "What the **** is that? What is the score on the Lion King Stadium?"


    After the coach confirmed that the East London Derby over the Lion King Stadium was over, the score would no longer be rewritten. The Ipswich coaching staff shouted joyfully: "8:0! 8:0! Millwall Won West Ham United 8:0! We have one more goal difference than West Ham United and we succeeded in relegation!"


    Ipswich''s coach and players confirmed the news and immediately celebrated in Anfield.


    The Red Army felt depressed from top to bottom.


    This is Anfield. Liverpool beat Ipswich 5-0.


    But at this moment, the reporters on the sidelines and the camera shots were all aimed at Ipswich''s coaches and players. They roared here and reveled for the success of relegation.


    Damn it!


    I have heard of the Victory Escape, and I have never seen a loser who can still lose relegation successfully!


    This year''s Premier League has a lot of wonders. Millwall''s record league points won the championship undefeated. At the stage of the final battle, people have accepted that it does not have too strong impact, but Ipswich miraculously relegated successfully. Then it inevitably became the focus.


    Burley, surrounded by reporters, was excited with red light. When asked by reporters about his thoughts at the moment, he opened his mouth and said, "Milwall is amazing! They are the best team in Europe. Look at them all these years. The record is unmatched, as if it is a mythical team, they deserve all the praise and glory, they are the pride of England, and coach Hall, he is a magical coach, I always respect and admire He, there is no better coach in the world than him! No! If there is a chance, I will definitely ask him to have a drink."


    Burley is very beautiful with Millwall and Aldridge. He also knows that if he praises Ipswich¡¯s performance, this is obviously a face in his face, not to mention that he has dropped more than 10 places from the rankings last season. It was this final battle that was blood-washed by Liverpool 5:0. How could he be so embarrassed to say: The boys did a good job. Their tenacious will and strong fighting spirit helped us relegate and successfully stayed in the Premier League!


    Even Ipswich¡¯s players talked about Millwall¡¯s stars in an interview, and their words were very respected. However, Millwall¡¯s main force did not play in the finals...


    Returning to the Lion King Stadium, the league championship awards ceremony is ready, and the cup will be held in the center of the stadium. When the players put on clean shirts and accepted the fans cheering into the field, Aldridge walked in the last one.


    Millwall''s season is not over yet. In the past, Aldridge will be relatively low-key. After the season is completely over, the team will hold a grand championship ceremony before he will release this emotion.


    But before the trophy was presented by the guests today, Aldridge took the microphone from the master of ceremonies, stood in front of the podium, raised his finger to the stand, and circled around, saying loudly: "Every one of you makes me proud and proud ! Let me firmly believe that when we are together, there is nothing we cannot do! Let us tell the world, what are we?"


    Aldridge stretched the microphone towards the stands, and the Lion King Stadium shouted in unison: "Crazy Lion!"


    "What are we?"


    "Crazy Lion!"


    "Last time, I, we, yes, what?"


    "Crazy Lion!!!"


    All the crazy lion fans in the stands stood up and screamed and cheered without applause.


    "In the 01-02 season, the English Premier League league champion was born, that is, Millwall, who has created a great record of four consecutive championships! In the history of the English top league, no team has ever won the league championship four times in a row, starting from 1888. In 2002, finally, a team set a new record, four consecutive championships in the English Premier League! Millwall, the great Millwall! Maybe Millwall has no glorious century, but Millwall is in In the eight years coached by Aldrich Hall, he has done things that all other English clubs cannot do for more than 100 years! In eight years, five top league titles, four consecutive league championships, and three Champions League trophy Down, they will hit a new height, that is, the Champions League three consecutive championships! This is also the height that no European team can reach in 26 years. The last team that was able to win three consecutive Champions League titles was Bayern Munich. Now, Millwall has the opportunity to complete the new achievements in the European arena while creating a new history in the English Premier League. Let us wait and see!"


    The fans in the stands have been reluctant to leave for a long time. Today, they have come to many famous places in England. After the awards, they walked into the field and talked with Aldridge one by one. Some of them simply expressed their respect. The league has four consecutive championships and may be placed in other leagues. China is not a particularly noteworthy achievement, but in the history of England''s top league, Millwall was the first to achieve this record, more than a hundred years before and after, enough to show the greatness of this achievement.


    Millwall''s players and family were binge on the court. The young Ronaldo dominated the trophy for a long time and took pictures with people everywhere.


    Since there are two finals in a few days, Aldridge took the initiative to leave early, which is also a hint to remind the players not to celebrate too much.


    ...


    The curtain fell on the Premier League, Millwall and Arsenal went to Wales two days later to prepare for the FA Cup final.


    Wenger sent a short message to Audridge after the end of the league. This was a courtesy. When talking about the FA Cup final, Wenger expressed Arsenal''s desire for championship.


    "Arsenal won the second place in the league this season. We have refreshed the club''s highest Premier League era points. Although the championship was eventually won by Millwall, the gap between us has been significantly shortened. The single final is very different from the league. Well, Millwall also has to take care of the Champions League final, and Arsenal will do their best to win the FA Cup champion to commend his efforts for a season."


    Although in the FA Cup final, Aldridge still intends to use the bench lineup, but he knows that this FA Cup final has a direct impact on the Champions League final: morale!


    Winning the championship and runner-up will bring a huge difference in morale impact. In the formation of the platoon, Aldridge has to send a backup lineup. In fact, Arsenal has a stronger card, which makes Aldridge have to be careful. .


    Millwall and Arsenal fans gathered at the Millennium Stadium. This will be the third time Millwall has come to the Millennium Stadium this season. The first two were the finals of the Charity Shield and the League Cup. They seemed more relaxed. Even the Welsh neutral fans are familiar with them, making Millwall''s stadium stand atmosphere slightly stronger than Arsenal.


    Wenger and Aldridge have also been fighting for several years. Since Millwall has entered the Premier League, he has won five league titles in seven years. Wenger and Ferguson each won one. Then Wenger is one of them, Ferguson is the other. It happens that the last two decisive battles this season, Aldridge will play against each other.


    At the Millennium Stadium, Aldridge and Wenger met on the sidelines. The professor looked serious, but the opening speech was trying to disturb Aldridge''s mind.


    "If you stay in this game and think about the Champions League final, Arsenal will definitely make you regret it."


    "Oh, Arsenal should seize the opportunity, it is difficult to enter the finals, it is even more difficult to meet the opportunity of Millwall to distract the Champions League final, if this time can not win Millwall, next time, I am afraid I don¡¯t know if Wait until what year and month to have the same opportunity."


    Aldridge replied unabashedly.


    The two shook hands and walked towards the coach''s seat, standing still, and the momentum of the duel naturally formed.


    Wenger is right, Millwall can''t think of the UEFA Champions League final to play this FA Cup final, especially since the time between the two finals is so short.


    So Aldridge came on the bench, players who will not start in the Champions League final, so that the players in the game will be distracted and only focus on this game!


    On the contrary, if he sends the main force to the stage, maybe the player''s thinking cannot be concentrated.


    Aldridge is right, Wenger knows that not every opponent in front of the championship trophy will be a serious Millwall. If you don¡¯t seize the opportunity to defeat Millwall today, will there be such a chance in the future? ?

 Chapter 796： Pass away

    "The England Football Cup finals of the 01-02 season will be staged at the Millennium Stadium. Today, the stadium is full of seats. The fans of both teams, including local Welsh fans, are very enthusiastic. The flags of the two teams are flying on the stands. The atmosphere in the stadium is extremely warm. In the previous prediction, the probability of Arsenal winning is slightly higher than that of Millwall, because Millwall will send a substitute lineup to play this game, Arsenal put away some of the main force in the Premier League final battle, and recuperate In order to prepare for the final, Arsenal may have an advantage no matter from the strength or the physical condition of the players, but Millwall has cultivated the champion genes in these years. They have never missed the finals. However, I am afraid today will be A serious challenge, because even Aldrich Hall led the team, and was the first to send 10 substitutes in the finals, only the main central defender, captain Southgate. Now the players of both sides enter, let¡¯s take a look The starting list of both parties.


    Millwall started with 4312.


    Goalkeeper: Palyuka.


    Defenders: Neil, Metzelder, Southgate, Baines.


    Midfielders: Pedretti, Alonso, De Rossi, Ramall.


    Forwards: Klose, Villa.


    Millwall discharged a 4312 formation today. Ramall withdrew from the previous striker line to play the midfielder. Klose and Villa partnered to attack. This is not the British traditional 442. In fact, coaching these in Hall In 2004, he used the traditional British 442 formation, but abandoned it a few years ago. The 442 used in the last two years is a brand new technical and tactical system.


    Arsenal started with 442.


    Goalkeeper: Seaman.


    Guards: Lauren, Keon, Campbell, Silvinho.


    Midfielders: Yongberg, Vieira, Parol, Pires.


    Forwards: Bergkamp, ??Ibrahimovic.


    It is worth mentioning that the Swedish striker Ibrahimovic has improved his ability this season. His team awareness and teamwork ability. His partner with Bergkamp and interaction with the wing has an obvious role in the game, and he himself The technical ability is also impressive. In this season, there have been a small breakthrough in the three defensive players and then shake the goalkeeper to shoot the empty goal. Because of his excellent play, he became the main force of Wenger, people He is said to be the second Anelka that Wenger cultivated, but Ibrahimovic said that he will not be the second person, he will only become the great Ibrahimovic, this is no lack of ambition and arrogance Boy, will he be the key to today¡¯s game? Ha ha, we will look forward to his performance. "


    From the beginning of the game, Aldridge and Wenger stood on the sidelines to oversee the battle.


    Wenger watched for a while and his face sank.


    Millwall is determined to fight back defensively.


    Arsenal have the advantage regardless of paper strength, experience, physical fitness, so they occupy the initiative on the field.


    But this is exactly where Wenger has a headache. The outside world has praises and criticisms for Arsenal. The criticism comes mainly from their lack of change, which is different from the lack of change in the middle and downstream teams. The middle and downstream teams rely on a set of styles of play. It may be able to settle down, but it is absolutely impossible to be famous, because of its limited strength, Arsenal can, because their players are strong.


    But on the stage of the European War, Arsenal¡¯s lack of change is a fatal reason that it is difficult to go further. On the stage where the strong men are full, once the opponent understands your technical and tactical play, and the targeted restrictions are in place, Arsenal can¡¯t do anything. The European War is weak.


    It¡¯s not a European war today, but Millwall apparently learned Arsenal. Aldrich sent a backup lineup and also pulled his face to fight back. In other words, Arsenal took the initiative to fight the position battle, this is not theirs What they are good at is the exquisite organization in the big picture. They lack the traditional No. 10 jersey, so Vieira has the ability to organize, but can he compete with Zidane and Pirlo players for organization?


    Wenger already has the idea of ??transforming Arsenal in the next stage to bring Arsenal''s beautiful football to the next level, and the introduction of the No. 10 player is imperative.


    What will happen in the future will not affect the present.


    It is now very difficult for Arsenal to fight in position.


    Nor does it mean that Arsenal have a headache when playing a positional battle. In fact, at this level, they must be strong in the league in order to fight against each other and strengthen their defense against each other. The two points they play are particularly good. The first is The wing that relied on survival countered the storm. Pire and Yongberg were on the side. Bogkamp formed a side-to-side combination with Vieira or Pallor inserted in the middle and front field. Ibrahimovic sometimes played in front. Bridgehead made the ball. This counter-attack this season has been dazzling with passion. The second is personal ability. Pires, Bergkamp, ??Ibrahimovic, all of them have the ability to get rid of in a small range. Tear the opponent''s line of defense from the local area to defeat it.


    Millwall has all these abilities, and Millwall has the overall organizational ability that Arsenal lacks, so even if Arsenal has set its own Premier League era record, Still unable to shake Millwall''s rule, this is part of the overall strength comparison.


    In response to such play by Arsenal, Millwall made countermeasures today.


    First of all, based on defense, do not give the opponent space to counterattack. Outside the 40 yard area, the opponent can attack any way, and the defense cannot be robbed.


    Secondly, Pedretti, Alonso, and De Rossi strengthened the protection of the sidelines and the back line, compressed the space, and reduced the occurrence of one-on-one breakthroughs.


    Arsenal add forwards on the wing with a regular lineup, obviously they can''t wear Millwall''s defense, the wing will be harassed, and the side-to-side cooperation will cut off the pass line because Millwall has more defensive players. This must be Arsenal''s full-back and midfielder assists are required, and when they come up, Millwall''s defensive pressure will be particularly great, but as long as the defense is successful, the key person for Millwall''s front-to-back connection is when the defense is turned. Ronso, the attacker who controlled the rhythm was Ramall.


    Lamor, who is characterized by outstanding reading ability in the game, was given a more important task by Aldridge.


    Striking back?


    No, it¡¯s not just that. When you have the best opportunity, you will firmly increase your speed to fight back. If there is no good opportunity, the route forward of Klose and Villa is blocked. When the running position lacks space, Lamor will have to Control the ball and stabilize the rhythm. This will allow Arsenal''s players to run back to defend and consume directly.


    Today, Welsh fans are disappointed. Millwall and Arsenal are typical of England¡¯s so-called beautiful football. The collision between the two teams should be a gorgeous peak match, but what is in sight is the lack of exciting scenes.


    It is difficult for Arsenal to find a shooting opportunity, Millwall''s counterattack is not effective, and even gives people a feeling that they will not even fight back!


    Wenger didn''t understand it either. Ramor was clearly unmarked when he took the ball several times in the half, but he no longer firmly passed forward and cooperated. Millwall''s counterattack opportunity took the initiative to slow down the rhythm, etc. After the backline eased the pressure, they patiently cooperated and reorganized the attack, which became a positional battle. In the positional battle, they did not take the sidewalk and could barely pass the defense zone of Vieira and Palol. Only Neal It only seemed a little threat after the assists went up.


    The advantage of playing fast is the high threat, and the disadvantage is the low success rate. Maybe 10 times straight, only 1 time can succeed.


    The advantage of playing slowly is to ensure the right of the ball. The disadvantage is that the threat is low. When Arsenal arranges the defense line and then plays the positional attack, the probability of success can be imagined to be much lower than that of counterattack.


    However, Aldridge''s requirements for the team are still to seek stability first, on the one hand to gradually increase confidence, on the one hand, to ensure that they will not be attacked quickly by Arsenal for a short time because of counterattack.


    The rhythm slowed down. Arsenal players ran back to set up the defense line and then attacked, it will take a certain time, and Millwall''s defensive pressure will not be too great.


    In the 31st minute of the first half, Arsenal nearly broke the goal. They passed a side pass. Bogkamp made a perfect stop with the foot and directly gave it to Ibrahimovic. Ibrahimovic turned the ball at a small angle and wanted to shake the cable first. Sgate, but Southgate is not fooled. When Ibrahimovic wants to shoot again, the ball is blocked by Southgate''s front foot and is less than 10 yards from the goal. It is very dangerous. This is since Arsenal''s opening. Best chance.


    After 7 minutes, Pire took a long-range shot from a long distance outside the penalty area. The shot was extraordinary. Palyuka was not old and was ready to block the ball with a single palm to ensure that the city goal was not lost.


    It wasn''t until the 42nd minute that Klose made a considerable threat on the offensive end by Klose. He used the rhythm change to stop the game and stopped the ball while shaking off Keon''s defense, waiting for Campbell to make up. Klose volleyed on the penalty area line. He dared not make any other moves, and Vieira was rushing from behind him.


    Seaman also made a wonderful save. The two old goalkeepers did not face many tests in the first half, but their performance when facing threatening shots is commendable.


    Just before the end of the first half, Vieira assisted, knocked over De Rossi, and shot a long shot to wipe the beam and flew to the stands.


    After ending at 0:0 in the first half, Southgate followed the referee and put pressure on the referee, thinking that Vieira had fouled De Rossi before, and De Rossi himself only felt very stubborn. He felt that his strength was enough, but compared with Vieira, it was still a bit worse, and was suddenly hit, which was a bit overwhelming.


    Aldridge walked calmly toward the player''s tunnel, but Wenger frowned at about five meters behind him.


    How did Arsenal crack Millwall''s tactical settings today?


    If it is a penalty shootout, is it cost-effective for Arsenal?


    All aspects should be Arsenal dominant, Wenger certainly does not want to put his destiny in the penalty shootout.


    "The scene in the first half was not exciting. This is a final to determine where the champion belongs. The two sides played a little conservatively. But as the game time is getting shorter, I believe that the two sides will try their best to fight for Victory, on the whole, Arsenal had a slight advantage in the first half, they appeared more active on the court, players played better, Millwall was slightly passive, of course, the lineup strength today played is slightly weaker than Arsenal, this is their The reason for the limited play, especially in terms of experience, can be seen that when Vieira assisted, De Rossi and Alonso did not take any advantage in the confrontation with them, and could only rely on a more active fight and Complement each other to avoid loopholes in the defense. During the halftime, will Millwall strengthen this link? We can only wait until the second half starts to observe."

 Chapter 797： Young hero

    At halftime, the atmosphere in Millwall''s dressing room was slightly suppressed.


    This is probably the most stressful first half experienced by the bench players. Unlike those games that have lost, they lose before, they will be frustrated and lost, but they will not feel depressed, because there will be a growing Subconsciously, but this season, although they continue to grow and improve, but also when it is time to prove themselves, it is difficult to assume the responsibility and can not withstand the pressure. It is estimated that they will enter the turning point of their careers. The so-called dragon is a worm. It cannot be very early. Underground conclusion, and at this stage, the next one or two seasons is the time to make a conclusion.


    Because of this, they are extremely serious and hard working on the final against Arsenal, but they are still dominated by their opponents. This is the root cause of their sharp increase in psychological pressure.


    "You did all well in the first half. I don''t comment on my personal performance, but I want to tell you that we have laid the foundation for winning, and you are doing very well."


    Aldridge remarked lightly to reinvigorate the players. They remembered the coaching staff''s request at the preparatory meeting. The first point was not to lose the ball in the first half.


    They did it!


    Completed one of the set goals.


    In this way, my mood is much better.


    Because they trust Aldridge very much, as long as they complete the tasks required by the coach, they are excellent and can also achieve their ambitions for the results of the game!


    Aldrich focused on the second half of the defense, which was based on the limited risk of the first half to make up for the limited situation. The big changes in the injured muscles and bones are not realistic. That will be a mess. It can only be fine-tuned. After all, it is a draw. It''s not time to make a big move.


    Back in the second half, Aldridge and Wenger were still standing on the sidelines. The two were not looking at each other, but Wenger was wondering what Aldridge was playing.


    He changed his mind at halftime.


    He doesn''t want to take a penalty, is Millwall willing to play roulette?


    So Wenger did not make adjustments, Arsenal has an advantage on the field, he believes that Arsenal will naturally score goals, as long as the ball can be advanced, Millwall is over!


    By the time Arsenal retreated to fight back, Millwall''s lineup, even with three attacking hands, had a poor ability to attack.


    Arsenal still dominated the field in the second half, and Millwall also continued the attitude of the first half of the game, defensive counterattack.


    And when fighting back, it was still Alonso who ensured that the front and the back were excessive. Ramall mastered the offensive rhythm and did not have a good chance to rush into the attack.


    The Welsh fans in the stands were disappointed, but the fans of Arsenal and Millwall were still enthusiastic, but the fans of both teams were a little nervous. As the game time passed, there were no goals on the field, which means that once a goal occurs, Less time is left for the lagging party!


    Aldridge most of the time today just stood on the sidelines and watched the game quietly, with a serious look and few physical movements. Only Millwall players were fouled or complained or protested when they were fouled.


    He has been observing, not simply watching the progress of the game.


    The main point of observation is Arsenal''s defensive strategy when he counterattacked at Millwall.


    After the opening, when Arsenal changed from attack to defense, the retreat of all members was very large. Only Ibrahimovic and Bogkamp were harassing and procrastinating on the first line. The midfield line and the defender line were all withdrawn. Forced interception, the kind of crazy midfielder tactics that Arsenal is not used to, such defensive strategies have very high requirements for player tacit understanding, one point is wrong, maybe three or four people will be penetrated. Then the exposed space behind will be clear at a glance.


    They will retreat to their respective areas of responsibility in the midfield and backcourt, to assist in defense, to contain, to guard key areas, and to limit Millwall''s space for counterattack.


    Millwall sometimes controls the rhythm and actively reduces the speed to ensure that the ball is not lost, so that every time Arsenal attacks and defends, it runs up and down long distances.


    In the 60th minute of the second half, Aldridge''s eyes suddenly became sharp.


    Opportunity appeared.


    An hour''s round trip up and down, Arsenal players say that physical fitness can not keep up, that is impossible.


    However, when Millwall counterattacks without obvious threats and will actively slow down, Arsenal''s frontcourt players will no longer run back to occupy the position in the backcourt first while defending, but will directly press in the process of backtracking !


    Millwall can be regarded as a weak and strong player today. Of course, Audridge must be premeditated when arranging tactics, otherwise, he will only be destined.


    Today''s play either consumes the physical strength of Arsenal players. As long as Millwall insists on not conceding the ball, the further the game is, the better and weaker the gap between Millwall and Arsenal will be. Explosive offense, just like the weak team playing the strong team, the whole attack is impossible, choose a period of time to focus on the raid!


    Another kind of premeditated desired result is now that Arsenal¡¯s defense and the opening have changed. Millwall¡¯s threat-free attack has reduced their vigilance. At the same time, they felt a decline in physical fitness, and they did not subconsciously I would like to move closer and closer, simply grab directly, maybe grab a fast break after grabbing, and still be caught flat-footed against Millwall.


    In any case, Aldridge saw the opportunity for a reversal of the game situation appeared, he began to play his ace.


    However, he did not have a rush to show an action to crush Arsenal. As usual, he called Kaka and Ronaldo to the side after warming up. He hugged the two men to the left and the right. Face-to-face opportunity is appropriate.


    The discerning people could see that Aldridge was about to make a substitution, and Wenger naturally saw it, but he didn''t think Kaka and Ronaldo could pose an intuitive threat.


    In the comparison of parity ability, Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo, who have less than a year of effectiveness in the first team, can hardly be said to be stronger than any offensive player on the field, regardless of experience or overall strength.


    Is this more like a conservative substitution?


    Unless, Aldridge has withdrawn the defensive players and increased the offensive players, it will definitely not be conservative, but gamble!


    Just as Millwall was about to make a substitution, Millwall had a dangerous situation in the penalty area. Piret knocked down the triangle pass line once after the bottom, and Bergkamp then straightened the ball behind Semetzeld. Ibrahimovic was about to grab a point and succeeded. Palyuka played the ability to end the attack in the small penalty area, bravely abandoned the door and fell to the ground to hold the ball in the arms for the first half step, even he also hugged Ibrahimovic''s feet.


    Wenger sighed with disappointment. Today, Millwall is mainly defensive, and the space in the penalty area is small. Bogkamp is good at passing and cooperating in a small area and playing the ball. So small spaces are caught by him. But Ibrahimovic needs to have a body, a skill, and a sense of consciousness. The speed is slightly worse, but it is not too slow, but it is only a slight difference.


    Aldridge also shuddered in cold sweat, relieved immediately, and then set about replacing.


    "The game reached the 65th minute of the second half. Millwall took the lead in substitutions. Hall withdrew Klose and Villa and replaced them with young fresh forces. Millwall is proud of Gemini Kaka and C. Ronaldo, the performance of these two newcomers this season has aroused great attention from the outside world and is known as Millwall''s next-generation supernova. It seems that Hall is putting the bet on both of them!"


    Wenger really worried that Aldridge bet his life on him.


    In case two defensive players are removed and Ronaldo and Kaka are replaced, God knows how this crazy lion will reshape the game!


    Now that Wenger is relieved, he thinks that Aldridge is staying for the Champions League final. After all, Ronaldinho and Henry have just recovered. Can the Champions League final be reached? The outside world has no way of knowing that Klose and Villa It can''t be consumed too much in this game, even if it is to leave behind for the Champions League final, it should be.


    Arsenal continued to attack, and this wave of attack lasted for 3 minutes. In the peripheral organization, the attack hit up, controlled the outer landing point, and reorganized the attack. For a period of time, Millwall was overwhelmed. .


    Aldridge held his breath, and Wenger''s expression changed very wonderfully. When Arsenal failed to attack, he shook his head and felt sorry for the signs of annoyance.


    In the 69th minute, Millwall got a chance to counterattack. Neal took the ball forward from the wing. He focused on attacking on this side because Yong Berry''s defense on the other side was too ruthless, and it was difficult for Baines to go up. As, and Neal''s side is Pires, there is room to play in the offense.


    However, this wave of counterattacks was still unsuccessful. Ramall, who was returned to the defense when he responded in the frontcourt, took a hard shot and successfully intercepted the ball.


    Arsenal continued to turn around to launch their offense. Their offense played a bit of a risk. Pire played directly on the wing, looking for the high point of Ibrahimovic, but Metzelder headed the ball steadily and De Rossi. Controlling the outer landing point, he passed the ball to Alonso running forward.


    Alonso then passed the ball to Lamore, and Arsenal¡¯s defensive player returned to chase. It seems that he intends to steal again to launch a fast break, but this time, Lamore kept the ball and knocked back to the middle. Ronso boldly plugged in, rushed forward after catching the ball, and Vieira defended directly in the back.


    Alonso actually took three steps and then decisively took the ball. The more he dribble the ball, the slower the speed, because his dribbling speed is not fast. His three steps are to observe the situation.


    He passed the ball to Kaka on the left.


    Kaka had already run, Alonso''s pass gave him advance, no need to slow down, he led the ball stride forward meteorally, when Vieira moved over to plan to defend Kaka head-on, Kaka crossed the ball Pass to the front right side of the penalty area.


    Vieira turned her head and saw that Ramall ran into this area before Palol returned to his place!


    Millwall did not delay this wave of counterattacks.


    Ramor stopped the ball, passed the ball in one go, and moved very coherently.


    Silvino ran to defend him, but the ball passed from Silvino''s side. The place was just three meters beside Campbell. Campbell didn''t notice anyone behind him, but it was passed by Lamor. At the moment of the ball, a figure was inserted diagonally from Keon and Campbell, and then the ball was inserted by Ramor.


    Ronaldo!


    The young man with the electric shock has been at the forefront since the counterattack, and he has been running in the middle front area of ??Keon and Lauren when Kaka dribbles. When Kaka passes the ball to Ramall, Ronaldo starts to accelerate Cut, this is the diagonal corridor in front of Keon, behind Campbell!


    When Campbell turned around, it was too late, Keon saw C Ronaldo running and kept up with him for the first time, but his speed was obviously inferior to C Ronaldo. When C Ronaldo received the ball, he was still close to C Ronaldo. There is a distance of more than three meters.


    Without any adjustment, Cristiano Ronaldo turned halfway and shot at a small angle above the goal near the corner!


    Seaman predicted a mistake, he thought C Ronaldo would adjust it, he didn''t expect this guy to shoot directly, and after **** luck, the angle of the ball shot was extremely tricky, he saved a step slower, the ball was hanging at the dead end!


    "The goal has been scored! A goal was finally scored in this final! C Ronaldo became a hero and he set the record for Millwall. This was an immediate substitution by Hall. C Ronaldo rushed excitedly and the young guy was teammate Fall to the ground and listen to the cheers of the crazy lion fans on the spot, this is cheering for C Ronaldo!"


    Wenger, covered with frost!

 Chapter 798： Successor

    When Ronaldo sent the ball into Arsenal''s gate in the 71st minute of the game, Aldridge didn''t celebrate, the live camera locked him, and he caught what Gattuso was telling.


    Wenger frowned, and some couldn''t figure out why Millwall could make the offense this time.


    The speed of the lethal counterattack is really fast!


    Kaka, Ramall, Ronaldo, there is almost no time to adjust the Arsenal line. Ronaldo''s running position is a classic, and how did this running space come out?


    Take care later? Or were you unprepared to play Millwall?


    Yes, in the first 70 minutes, Millwall rarely had this kind of offensive cooperation, playing a steady word, and after the substitution, the offense pursued danger!


    Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo is not as good as Klose and Villa in terms of comprehensive ability, regardless of experience or forward comprehensive ability assessment.


    But Aldrich did not require C Ronaldo to play Klose¡¯s pivot role. He did not require C Ronaldo to respond locally like Villa did. Kaka replaced a forward, but his position on the court was not to play the forward. It¡¯s even more difficult to talk about, what Aldridge wants them to play is speed advantage. If they play like this at the beginning, Arsenal will definitely kill them and let them lose their physical fitness in the run back and forth again and again, The so-called good steel is used on the blade. This is the tactical conspiracy of Aldridge in this game. The first 60 minutes were to create the most suitable environment for Kaka and Ronaldo''s debut.


    "Milwall quickly used the last substitutions after scoring. It seems that Hall was extremely decisive and replaced Gamasso with Ramor. This is a signal to strengthen the defense again. As long as Millwall does not Let Arsenal score and they will win the sixth championship trophy this season!"


    The full-hearted Gattuso pointed to Alonso as soon as he went on the field, indicating the premise of the opponent''s position, playing a midfielder, and giving Gattuso the midfielder!


    There is no doubt that Millwall''s defensive stiffness is a step up no matter whether the formation''s defensive space is compressed or the combination of defensive capabilities of personnel.


    Wenger was in a state of anxiety on the sidelines, and he had nothing to say about Audridge''s substitution this time. They used to have only one main force, and now there is one more. It is normal to play conservatively, and three days later The Champions League final!


    After all three substitutions were used, Arsenal counterattacked, but the effect in the positional battle was even more unsatisfactory. They did not have the classic No. 10 player and lacked in the overall organization of the positional battle.


    Seeing Arsenal''s offensive advance past halftime, it seemed like headless flies didn''t know how to develop, and the commentators expressed their opinions.


    "Arsenal''s positional combat ability in high-level confrontation still needs to be improved. This is an old topic. Their side counterattacks are very threatening. Perhaps their counterattack ability is only behind Millwall, which is stronger than Manchester United, but in positional battles. , Their abilities are not as good as Manchester United and Millwall, even if the traditional two wings like Manchester United fly, pass, run, cut, shoot, score, so that Manchester United are very familiar with the routines, they are all lacking. The opponent compresses the offensive space, and Arsenal''s offense begins to become messy."


    "Yes, Andy, from the scene, we can clearly see that Millwall''s attack rhythm has changed significantly before and after the substitution, and the forward attack of the offensive player is more firm. This is definitely Hall''s substitution. Adjustments were made before the game. On the contrary, Arsenal¡¯s shortcoming has always been that Wenger rarely changes in the game unless the situation reaches a very bad point, such as they are still behind at the end of the game, or playing The weak team is still a draw. Arsenal created by Wenger is a stable and clear tactical team. However, in specific games, on-site contingency and even pre-game preparations seem to have no secrets. Arsenal¡¯s style has not changed. The team¡¯s rhythm rarely changes, 90 minutes, from the first minute to the last minute, it seems that they want to win from the beginning to the end firmly, but the reality will not be so easy."


    "In recent years, Arsenal''s poor performance in the European War, the biggest reason for being criticized is also here. Arsenal belong to the strong team in Europe, but they do not have any backhand, personnel, tactics, all aspects, clearly presented in front of the opponent, When the opponents analyze them thoroughly and limit them in place, Arsenal will encounter difficulties. We are not surprised at all. In this game, if Millwall can finally win, then Hall defeats Wenger again. Obviously it is Winning at the level of on-site command and tactical arrangements."


    The game was almost 80 minutes long and Wenger had to fight.


    He removed Palol, replaced Vertod, and added a forward on the offensive end.


    Standing on the sidelines, Aldridge kept yelling at Ronaldo and gesturing towards him, beckoning him not to be at the forefront of the striker, go back more to respond, and pull the side appropriately!


    In the past few minutes, Millwall''s counterattack did not work. The reason is that Ronaldo has been staying on the front line after scoring. It is estimated that this kid wants to grab another opportunity like the one just before, and then he is given a final word.


    Cristiano Ronaldo found that he could not get a chance recently, so he listened to Aldridge and ran back to respond appropriately, waiting for the opportunity to fight back.


    In the 83rd minute, Baines received a header from Southgate''s successful defense on this side, and he passed the ball straight to Cristiano Ronaldo.


    Cristiano Ronaldo stopped the ball and started to move along the sideline. Arsenal just played an attack. At this time, the backcourt is not particularly empty. Except for the assist on the other side, Silvinho has not returned and still has a three-back. Plus Vieira.


    Ronaldo walked to the forty yards away from the goal and turned inwards. Lauren sealed him in front, and Vieira moved over to seal his line diagonally into the penalty area.


    "C Ronaldo passed the ball to Kaka, and then he quickly moved forward. Lauren and Keon were on the spot to mark C Ronaldo. Vieira turned around and blocked Kaka''s passing line. Kaka chose Dribbling broke, he dribble to the right, some distance away from the goal, Campbell used to defend him."


    Kaka''s forward space is already very narrow, so he pulled off the side, attracted Campbell and then returned the ball to Alonso who assisted. Alonso did not dare to go forward and bump Vieira , Just 35 yards away, a long shot!


    This long shot made Arsenal fans and Wenger shocked with cold sweat, but fortunately wiped the goalpost out of the bottom line.


    After witnessing the attack, Aldridge found that if C Rocca alone, plus an assist but could not penetrate Alonso into the penalty area, it would be very difficult to play Arsenal again.


    Arsenal suffered a loss on Ronaldo and could not find a good opportunity for Ronaldo to run after the number was dominant.


    Do you want to gamble?


    It may not even take 10 minutes to calculate the injury stoppage time, but Aldridge looked at Ibrahimovic''s body, plus Vertod, and finally Arsenal stormed again. It is really hard to say who the deer is.


    He gestured to Neil and De Rossi separately, which meant that they also supported them in the counterattack. The two nodded and led their lives. Their physical fitness should be no problem for them. Neil was in the middle of the year and De Rossi was the game. In the first 80 minutes, there was not much offensive, physical energy consumption was not serious, and Pedretti and Gattuso were left in the backline. Both are players with a large range of interception. They can make up positions and block when they counterattack. Certainly guaranteed.


    Fear of what is coming, after 1 minute, Pire crosses, Ibrahimovic header, almost penetrating through Palyuka''s ten fingers.


    Aldridge took a breath, and the scene was quite scary. If it was the main force on the court, even if Arsenal hit the dangerous situation in front of the door, he would not worry. It originated from the team¡¯s super strength in offense, but this Set off the bench, if the score is equalized, the next game is really hard to say.


    The speed advantage can be played once, not necessarily the second time, and the speed advantage is not to crush the opponent, but to beat the opponent unexpectedly. After the opponent sounded the alarm, it was only a peak period of Vieira, Mill None of the players on Wall''s field can face one-on-one with the upper hand. Therefore, to penetrate Vieira''s defense, one cannot rely on one-on-one and must rely on teamwork.


    With the passage of time, less time was left for Arsenal, Arsenal invested more and more in the offensive, and the anti-robbing force in the frontcourt also rose sharply.


    Wenger urged the players to attack, Aldridge''s hands on his hips sank like water, and Arsenal''s counter-robbing was actually not tight. As long as Millwall''s players calmly took the ball instead of blindly making a clearance, they would definitely resolve it, and as long as they broke through the opponent The anti-robbing encirclement circle, the frontcourt offense is flat.


    In the 87th minute, Bogkamp was blocked by Metzelder before the penalty area. Metzelder''s most obvious improvement this season is that he is very stable!


    It''s not like the past two seasons that the front defense has been rushing forward, which makes his progress very obvious.


    After the defense was successful, Arsenal''s frontcourt players immediately counterattacked. Metzelder passed the ball to Gattuso in front. Gattuso was depressed. He was all people in all directions. He had to kick the ball again. Give Southgate behind.


    At the critical moment, Southgate was still clear-minded. At least as a defender, he was often harassed by the forward to be robbed. It is used to him. He used a long and medium-distance oblique long pass to pass the ball from the defender line. At the same time, he also mobilized a counterattack. Neal, who was on the sideline, stopped the ball on the right in the midfield and then launched a fast break.


    When Neal passed the ball to Kaka who came over to meet, Millwall''s offense directly pushed the frontcourt within 40 yards of Arsenal''s goal. Under such circumstances, the enthusiasm of Arsenal''s offensive players to return to defense declined. A lot, because you will feel that running back is useless and can''t catch up!


    In particular, their physical fitness is nearly exhausted.


    Kaka attracted Vieira, he did not rush to make the next move, but instead passed the ball back to Alonso who came up with the assist, De Rossi also ran up at the same time, this pressure up, Millwall Instead, the number of offenses is dominant!


    Alonso first handed the ball to the left to Ronaldo, De Rossi inserted forward, Alonso was still in the middle, after Ronaldo walked inside, he found that both De Rossi and Alonso had been completely stared to death. He chose a wide-range long pass to transfer and passed the ball to the right. Neal didn''t come back with an assist. This side was empty. Neal took the ball to the penalty area and killed. When Campbell took a step After Neil leaned against Campbell, Kaka inserted the ball in front of him. It was already a half-single shot opportunity!


    Vieira came back to block the angle of Kaka''s shot. Kaka calmly made the ball back to Alonso. At this time, Alonso took the ball forward and broke the Arsenal defender line. In front of him, there was only Vieira on the right and goalkeeper Seaman. The distance was so close. Alonso volleyed the ball without hesitation and slammed the ball into the left side of the goal. Seaman was helpless. It''s empty, he can only stare at the ball.


    "Second goal! Millwall scored the second goal! Beautiful coordination, completely torn apart Arsenal''s defense, Millwall locked the victory! They did not dominate the game until the last 20 minutes. The situation becomes slightly balanced, wait patiently, and then seize the few opportunities to drive Arsenal into the abyss!"


    Millwall was happily on the bench. Aldridge watched Alonso being thrown to the ground by his teammates to play the stack of Luohan. His mouth slightly raised, then closed his eyes and nodded slightly.


    The next generation of mad lions, successors.

 Chapter 799： The stretched national team

    "There is not much time left in the game. Almost all of Arsenal''s players have passed the halftime in search of a chance to break the goal. Only now without such a defensive defensive situation, Arsenal let Millwall''s tough defensive line start to shake. There are cracks."


    Wenger obviously had no good plan on how to take a risk when the team was behind and even in desperation. The players on the court instinctively sacrificed defense to invest in the offense. In the 90th minute, Ronaldo received a big shot from the backcourt and then went to the meeting with a single shot. Putting the ball into the opponent''s gate and looking back, the referee whistled offside early. He was very angry at a young age, his expression was both wronged and angry, and the reaction was relatively large, causing the referee to show him a yellow card.


    Aldrich can understand Ronaldo''s mood. He longs for more performance and never stops fighting. He is still a young boy who is in the limelight. He was blown away with a goal. How can he be calmly accepted?


    Although it was indeed an obvious offside.


    Millwall retreated, leaving Ronaldo alone in the front, but too many people were crowded in the backcourt. The Arsenal army was under pressure. The backcourt did not say that there was no room for falling feet. When dealing with the ball, players also demanded First clear the alarm and kick the ball out with big feet. Not every big foot clearance will turn into Millwall''s offensive opportunity. By the second minute of injury time, Baines''s clearance ball was hit by a kick. Wing Berry rebounded in the middle of the penalty area, Vieira kept the ball straight, and Vertod found a good chance to volley the ball into the goal guarded by Palyuka.


    "At the last moment Arsenal regained a goal. This ball looked a bit lucky. The time left for them should also be gone. The injury stoppage time has passed 20 seconds. The referee has no chance to restart the kick. The whistle was blown directly. In fact, when teenager Baines made a big foot, the referee put the whistle in his mouth. Arsenal''s last effort was to make this defeat a little decent, 2:1, congratulations Milwaukee Earl won the FA Cup final, they won the sixth championship in a single season schedule, a great achievement, if they can win the Champions League three days later, then this will be the unprecedented single season seven championship king!"


    After the referee blew the whistle, Baines fell prostrate and fell to the ground. The moment he lost the ball, he was terrified. He thought he might be the sinner of the team. Fortunately, the referee did not give extra time. Otherwise, he is not sure whether he can still make the most basic technical moves, because his calves are shaking.


    Southgate walked over to pull Baines up and smiled at him: "Good job today, Leiden, go back to the locker room, you should give everyone your outdated music, today you have this Power, because you are a hero."


    Baines scratched his hair. He couldn''t keep up with the trend in music taste. He was an alternative to the dressing room. He would listen to some blues music from the 1960s. Sometimes he would give people an illusion: This kid has a 17. 70.


    Today, there was a captain who was on the line, and he provided him with traps on his side. In fact, Baines actually had a stable mind in the whole game. He did not seek for success but he never failed. However, in the final stage, he faced Arsenal rushing up like a wolf. He really panicked his hands and feet. The foot released the ball. He didn''t even look at the situation in front of him. He subconsciously made a big foot release. He hadn''t controlled his foot kick.


    The team lost the ball to make him feel full of guilt. Now when he hears Southgate''s words, in addition to being touched by Baines, Southgate''s image in his heart becomes instantly taller.


    After calming down, Baines hugged Southgate and then Metzelder, and Millwall players began celebrating on the court.


    The Millennium Stadium has once again become a venue for Millwall rave, coming here for the third time in a single season, winning three times and celebrating the third.


    Aldridge walked over and shook hands with Wenger after the game. Wenger apparently did not want to say anything, and lost again, and there was no excuse for losing.


    Today is not the strongest Millwall, but it is the strongest Arsenal in recent years. In the end, he still lost.


    Arsenal''s season is over, Millwall''s season is only the final battle!


    After celebrating the championship at the Millennium Stadium, Aldridge directly led the team to Glasgow. If there are any positive factors in the intensive schedule of this season, the location of the Champions League final minimizes the travel of Millwall.


    Within the UK.


    Manchester United has arrived here the day before.


    A large number of local fans from London also traveled to Scotland at the same time, wanting to witness the final battle of Millwall''s fabulous season up close!


    Millwall, the official promo for the Champions League final, has long since been mocked by Fleet Street as the most crude promo in recent years. Millwall really borrowed the idea of ??the fan organization and used RPG cartoon animation to intersect the Champions League. Highlights.


    Shaving off the cost of animation production is actually a collection of Millwall goals and some close-ups.


    No way, in the Champions League, Millwall has not withstood the test from the beginning to the end, met the three most powerful opponents, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, ??Real Madrid, successively double-killed, now the 17th battle, ushered in England''s Civil War, the Red Devils Manchester United who lacked a major general!


    On the second day of arriving at the hotel in Glasgow, Aldridge received a message from the club from London, and he called Ronaldo to the hotel restaurant.


    Cristiano Ronaldo will not enter the big list of the Champions League final, but it should be with the team. He just woke up in the morning, and his favorite tinkering hairstyle is still messy. Kaka in the same room informed him that the head coach asked him something, He was so anxious that he ran away without care.


    The FA Cup won the championship. He was held up in the sky. He was very excited. In addition, he will sit in the stands of the Champions League final and come to Glasgow. He played with other teammates in the room last night. It was heard that Aldridge was looking for him. I think things have changed, for example, Audridge will send him to play in the Champions League final! ?


    "Boss, are you looking for me?"


    Ronaldo had dark circles on his head, messy hair, wearing big pants, slippers...


    There were other people in the restaurant. The paparazzi were dressed as hotel guests. This time they were exposed. They took out the camera and photographed Ronaldo. After taking the photos, the paparazzi ran immediately and staged a cat with the hotel security. Catch the mouse.


    C Ronaldo''s nose was crooked, and this time it was all right, and the image of Pian Jia was completely ruined.


    Aldridge saw his eyes stunned and rolled his eyes in anger, but he couldn''t help but block the face under his eyes with a newspaper. Ronaldo didn''t like it. He said dumbly: "This hotel is too bad! How can the paparazzi get mixed in."


    "Sit down, do you have anything to eat?"


    After Aldridge laughed and put down the newspaper, Ronaldo picked up the menu and looked at it seriously. Obviously, he was going to slaughter Aldridge and went out to play. It was rare. Players generally do not have a say in food and drink, Mill Wall himself will bring the chef and the dietitian, and the player has no power to decide what to eat.


    After he ordered breakfast, Aldridge pushed a fax from the table and placed it in front of Ronaldo.


    "This is a fax the club received yesterday from Portugal."


    Ronaldo scanned the fax seriously, and suddenly his hands began to tremble, excited, he got up and looked at Aldridge brightly, and asked, "Boss, is this not a prank?"


    Aldrich shook his head and said, "You should not have left a contact number with the Portuguese Football Association, otherwise they will definitely call you."


    Ronaldo nodded and said, "Yes, no."


    He played the intercontinental games on behalf of the Portuguese low-level team before, and was also called by the Portuguese Football Association. He sent a fax to the Millwall Club, and then Millwall informed Cristiano Ronaldo to report.


    Ronaldo touched his hair and murmured, "I am going to the World Cup? Am I going to the World Cup?"


    For the 17-year-old, the World Cup is a dream, a far-reaching dream, but in the last half season under the Aldridge account, coupled with the attention received by Millwall himself, he is a supernova that is concerned by the outside world, the Portuguese Football Association. The fax sent was that the national team called him to go to training.


    "Hey, it''s not the World Cup yet. Next is the national team warm-up match. The final roster is for you. It''s up to Mr. Oliveira to decide."


    Ronaldo suddenly seemed to be poured into a basin of cold water, and he fell down. He was in trouble and asked, "Boss, can you say that I can go to the World Cup?"


    Aldrich thought thoughtfully: "Looking at your positioning, first of all you have not played a game on behalf of the national team, have not participated in a training session, you cannot be assigned as the main force, the bench is also difficult, but the World Cup In just a few games, not every player who goes to the World Cup will have the opportunity to play. If you are holding you, instead of relying on your ideas, you have a lot of hope to go to the World Cup. Go to see the big scenes and feel the atmosphere. If you perform well, maybe, maybe you can still be used as an adventure when you are needed."


    Ronaldo got a better mood. After a while, the other players also got up and came to the restaurant. Half of the restaurant was taken by Millwall for temporary meals. Ronaldo picked up the fax and yelled to Kaka: "Hey , Kaka, I may also go to the World Cup, we will meet in Asia!"


    Kaka also received a call from the Brazilian national team, but the final roster is still unclear.


    Aldridge took a sip of his coffee.


    Yes, basically the outside world has already begun to greet the World Cup. The national teams have started a warm-up warm-up before the game to check the status of the players. The coaches of the national teams also have a headache for the final World Cup roster.


    Aldridge is no exception.


    The final 23-man roster of the England national team has not yet been determined, but there are not many options for Aldridge. The strong national team has recruited almost 30 people before the competition. The England national team may not even have 25 people. Qi...

 Chapter 800： The fourth crown in sight

    On May 15, 2002, Glasgow, Scotland, Hampton Court Stadium, home of the Scottish national team, is also home to Queens Park (non-QPR).


    The national conflict between England and Scotland is no secret. The football field is naturally England¡¯s contempt for Scotland. What is ironic today is that Scotland has won the right to host the UEFA Champions League final this season. In the end, it opened the door to welcome England¡¯s two balls. The team came here to perform.


    When Aldridge came to the stage of the Champions League final for the fourth time, he was very calm, relaxed, and even had an arrogance to conquer. Of course, this is his inner psychological activity, he will not proclaim it, he will not compete. When he started playing, he laughed as if the game had won.


    He was sitting in the dressing room, there was no one else around him, all preparations had been completed, he now has time to think about other things.


    After the Champions League final, he needs to have a formal dialogue with Klinsmann.


    After the game was over, Millwall ended the 01-02 season, which means that the club¡¯s one-season cycle ended. Aldridge intends to let Klinsman take over his position next season, while he leads the national team to finish the World Cup. He will also fulfill his contract with the FA. Then, he feels relieved to be a club owner, allowing time to become more ample and can do a lot of things that he is happy to do but did not have time to do before. Long-term development and construction in the future, or traveling with the family around the world, go to those tourist destinations that Earl and Bert have seen the photos and are interested in immersion.


    Millwall''s players returned to the locker room after the warm-up before the game. Southgate in suits also walked in. He would cheer the team up.


    Aldridge first looked at Nedved, and his eyes were asking him. Nedved nodded firmly, without any hesitation.


    Ronaldinho and Henry were healed before the final battle of the league. There was no problem with the team training. They themselves were minor injuries, and Nedved did not return seriously two days ago. At the training ground, Aldrich fulfilled his promise to let him debut in this game and give him a starter.


    Looking around the players for a lap, Aldridge calmly said: "After playing this game, we will end this season. Of course, many of you still have to go to Asia to participate in the World Cup. There are beginnings and ends, before the start of the season, our goal It¡¯s the championship. In the end, we won the league, league cup, FA Cup three championships, and have swept all the trophies in England. The last game left is today, the Champions League final. I don¡¯t need to say more, you know this season. I¡¯m not satisfied with you anymore. You deserve the championship. You should take the championship trophy, but Manchester United will not raise your hand and surrender. Manchester United will not sit back and watch us take away the honor they have a chance to win, so, My only requirement for you is to draw a perfect ending for this season. In the future, people will remember that one team won 33 wins and 5 draws in the league and won an undefeated record, and one team won 17 in the Champions League. Winning the championship, there was a team that stepped on the foot of the German class bully and the La Liga duo. One team harvested seven championship trophies in 300 days. Let us write the name of this team into history!"


    The players stared at Aldridge fiercely and nodded fiercely. They couldn''t demand more how perfect this season was. Not only was the league undefeated, they were more than 80 undefeated on all fronts!


    And the Champions League won 16 games!


    Today, as long as they win the game within the regular time, they will also create a Champions League myth, winning 17 games in the Champions League all season!


    Aldridge walked out of the locker room after speaking, and the rest of the time, the team will mobilize itself.


    After he walked out of the player channel and came to the stadium, the lens locked him. Millwall was shining and Aldridge had a natural contribution. How many honors the team won, he had a share. He came to the Champions League final for three consecutive years. This is not What can happen at any time, the last time, is more than 25 years ago, and it is the same coach. In addition to the past four years, Aldridge has won three Champions League, and the young coach has become a totem at this time. , A symbol of victory, a unique football circle alternative.


    Aldridge walked to shake hands with Ferguson, Ferguson''s face was very heavy, this game, Manchester United''s disadvantage is very obvious, even the strongest Manchester United, it may not have done Millwall, and today, Ferguson suffered similar to 1999 Happening.


    There are two main players in the team who are unable to play.


    Beckham is one of them, Neville is another, and Manchester United''s entire right attack is completely abolished.


    The atmosphere was hot, and Millwall and Manchester United fans waved flags and waved flags for their teams.


    Players from both sides began to enter.


    "The UEFA Champions League final for the 2001-2001 season is about to start. This season, it broke into the final stage. The two teams that fought against Glasgow Hampton Temple Stadium are all from England. One is the Champions League champion Millwall in the past two seasons. One is the Red Devils Manchester United. Judging from the performance of the Champions League in recent years, this is the confrontation between the two strongest teams in the Champions League in recent years. In 1998, 2000 and 2001, Millwall won the championship and the middle In 1999, Manchester United won the championship. No matter who wins the game today, England will be proud of it, because the team from the Premier League has ruled Europe for five years!


    Unfortunately, neither side can send the strongest lineup in today¡¯s peak matchup, and Manchester United is more affected. Let¡¯s first take a look at Millwall¡¯s starting list, except for captain Southgate. The game could not be played outside, all other main players came on stage, and Ronaldinho, Henry, and Nedved were all injured in time.


    Millwall started 433.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Materazzi, Neil, Zambrotta.


    Midfielders: Gattuso, Pirlo, Nedved.


    Forwards: Larson, Henry, Ronaldinho.


    Neil replaced Southgate as a starter. The player with the longest experience in the team will not lack overall understanding. I believe he can offset the impact of Southgate''s absence.


    On Manchester United, Beckham is still recovering from injury. He sat in the stands with his family to watch the game today. There is his friend Gary Neville next to him. He can¡¯t play because of injury. What¡¯s more regrettable He, Neville may miss the World Cup.


    Manchester United starting 442:


    Goalkeeper: Bartz.


    Guards: Phil Neville, Brown, Blank, Sylvester.


    Midfielders: Bart, Keane, Belon, Giggs.


    Forwards: Scholes, Van Nistelrooy.


    From the perspective of the strength of the lineup, Manchester United has almost attacked with a residual lineup. The back line of the league has been a mess this season. This is the reason why Ferguson discharged Bart and Keane¡¯s double midfielder in this game. I don¡¯t know whether Manchester United can resist Mill. Wall''s powerful offensive firepower, the game starts immediately, let''s enjoy the final football feast of the European Champions Cup this season! "


    Why did Ferguson look so heavy?


    Looking at this line of defense, it is clear that it is a combination of central defenders. Brown has been injured and stopped. The state cannot be guaranteed at all. Most of the time, Gary Neville came to the central defender, and Blanc has belonged since the beginning of the season. Firefighters, at the end of the season, Blank''s age is one year older, and the 37-year-old veteran in half a year is really unbelievable.


    Can Kean protect it alone? Obviously not enough, plus Bart¡¯s multiple insurance.


    Manchester United still has to attack after all. Ferguson hopes to have Scholes in the front and Keane Gabbart in the end, so that he can share pressure with Belon, and then attack two directions, Giggs on the left and middle and right. ? How can Manchester United capital fully spread the offensive? It''s good to be able to defend well on the right.


    After the opening, Millwall pushed all over, offering their maturity and playing the extreme high-pressure **** this season. The oppressive attack was very targeted, and he played on the left with Ronaldinho as the core and Zambrotta defending. The pressure is not great, so he unscrupulously assists up. Nedvide intentionally presses over here to assist. If Manchester United¡¯s heavy soldiers are transferred to this side, then the ball will be transferred back and Pirlo will make an overall high-level offensive transfer. Millwall Immediately obtained the advantage of the scene from the opening, forcing Manchester United to exhausted on the defense line.


    Manchester United due to hidden dangers in the defender line, defensive players such as Keane, Bart, and today are nominally forwards, in fact Scholes, who is still a center-back, dare not step forward and rush to grab, fearing that it will be too late to make up, which makes Millwall became easier in organization and scheduling. Pirlo frequently carried out offensive transfers. The master pass was accurate and insightful, and the situation on the field was very good.


    In the 7th minute, Pirlo dispatched, attacking the right, Larsson retreated to receive Pirlo''s pass, waiting for Giggs and Silvester to grab him and quickly pass the ball to Henry. Henry felt There was no room to play, Keane closed very close, he then made the ball back to Pirlo.


    Pirlo, who was smart, didn''t wait for Scholes to turn around and set a position, then kicked the ball to Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho also kicked the ball and knocked it to Nedved, Ned. Vader also made the ball with a single foot, and the left side of the **** was free.


    This consecutive kick was really dazzling, so that the Manchester United defender could hardly find the North, Nedvide passed the ball and found a gap between Bart and Phil Neville, Zambrotta set the bottom, Before Phil Neville approached, Zambrotta directly took the ball to the bottom and vigorously crossed the ball in front of the bottom line to the front of the goal.


    Brown before the blockade felt someone behind him, yes, Henry!


    Zambrotta¡¯s goal was almost the same as a shot. It¡¯s very powerful. Brown didn¡¯t have extra time to think about it. He would unconsciously break the ball out of the bottom line. The ball touched, then, Brown, and Manchester United goalkeeper Bartz stared dumbly as the ball refracted from the near corner of the goal!


    Own goals!


    "Wow! Own goal! Millwall scored the lead. Manchester United made a mistake under Millwall''s suffocating pressure. Zambrotta made a cross and Brown actually bumped the ball into his door! Brown tried to The referee protested. He signaled that Henry had a small action behind his back. We found through slow-motion playback that Henry did not have any incidental action. He was heading towards the ball. Brown¡¯s mistake was entirely caused by himself. An own goal was scored, poor Brown, hoping he would not be affected by this mistake, but Manchester United is going to change its strategy and is now behind."


    Millwall¡¯s players surrounded Zambrotta to celebrate the lead. They roared wildly towards the sidelines and their fists were proclaiming their strength!


    Aldrich smiled with arms on his chest. He could see that Ferguson actually had an idea about the game situation, not the result of the game. The result of the game is definitely to want to win, but that the attitude of the game, Ferguson still hopes that Manchester United can dominate the offense Otherwise, he will not go to Belon, but now it is not Man Lenovo attack or want to play anti-reverse, they simply cannot control the game and are completely passive!


    The fourth championship, the Champions League three consecutive championships, seems not far away, Aldridge thought so beautifully.

 Chapter 801： The general is injured

    Millwall and Manchester United have not remembered how many times they have played. This season''s Manchester United is particularly weak. Not only is there a hidden danger in the back defense, because the midfielder has joined Belon, the entire offensive and defensive system has become less comfortable than before. For a familiar opponent, Millwall is confident and relaxed.


    Players on the field think that this will not be a hard battle, as long as they do their job well, the door to victory will be open to them.


    Ferguson did not use Belon when he played for the second time in the league. Today, because the platoon formation was stretched, Belon was activated again. After playing for 20 minutes, the positive effect could not be seen. Instead, he was frequently caught in the midfield. The ball was intercepted, which caused huge pressure on the defending team. The most important thing was that Nedvide returned to defend against Belon and formed a block. The effect was extraordinary.


    In the 27th minute, Manchester United had just blocked Henry''s shot from the penalty area. They started to organize the attack, but the ball reached Belon''s foot and was easily stabbed by Pirlo. Belon took the ball from his back and focused on the front to intercept him. Nedved, who turned around to protect the ball, was too obvious and was destroyed by Pirlo from behind.


    Larson actively came to control the ball, and then quickly took two steps forward. When Keane moved to this side, he decisively passed the ball to Nedved.


    Nedved controlled the ball in a hurry. On the left, Zambrotta frantically advanced and attracted the attention of Phil Neville and Bart. When Keane countered Nedved again, Nedved Putting the ball straight between Keane and Bart, Ronaldinho came to the penalty area and was close to the middle zone. He stopped the ball steadily and then started to shoot long shots!


    In front of him, Brown subconsciously made a blocking action, but Ronaldinho was just a fake action. Ronaldinho took another step horizontally, striking the side of Blank, and Brown, who adjusted his center of gravity, came over again to block Ronaldinho. , He and Blank squeezed a bit.


    Ronaldinho kicked the ball back to the side behind Brown, and then started at full speed!


    Brown was faked twice, and it took more time to adjust the center of gravity. At the same time, he blocked the route for Blank to fill the seat!


    Ronaldinho took two counterfeit moves in a wonderful way to break through the pass and made the crazy lion fans scream with excitement. After witnessing Ronaldinho enter the penalty area and form a single-shot and easily push the goal at the bottom right corner of the goal, Hampton Park The stadium''s stands burst into cheers!


    "Ronaldinho! The great Ronaldinho! He evolved again in the Champions League final, and it was wonderful, again and again, he made Manchester United''s defense completely unable to find the North! We had to Give him praise again, Millwall has been able to reach such a glorious height in these years, absolutely can not do without Ronaldinho with magical ability! Less than 30 minutes in the first half, Millwall led by two goals, Manchester United There is no chance of returning!"


    Aldridge watched Ronaldinho dancing the iconic samba dance on the sidelines, and he was very pleased. Ronaldinho¡¯s growth and tempering in these years are absolutely different from Ronaldinho in history. This is of course inseparable from Millwall¡¯s The environment and Ronaldinho¡¯s own efforts must know that in fact, in the original history, Ronaldinho was actually abandoned for a period of time in Paris Saint-Germain, because Paris Saint-Germain was first internally turbulent, and secondly, Ronaldinho¡¯s relationship with the coach was also somewhat incompatible.


    Ronaldinho turned around after dancing and hugged Nedved. Just now Nedved stopped, controlled, and passed. The timing was just right. The pass was too early. Ronaldinho may quickly catch the ball Being restricted by Keane''s return to defense, the pass was late, and the opponent''s full-back defender may make it difficult for him to shoot after entering the penalty area.


    In such a battle, Millwall needs Nedved, his ability, experience, will, temperament, are all needed by the team, so Aldridge sent him to play, and it is not entirely an individual who completed Nedved. The willingness is indeed that the team needs him in this level of competition.


    In the stands, Manchester United fans have fallen into a sad mood, unable to extricate themselves. Millwall has been undefeated in more than 80 games across seasons. Who would believe that this king''s division will be planted today?


    The score is already 2:0, and Manchester United seem to have no chance.


    Ferguson said before the game that this is similar to the 1999 Red Devils vs. Bayern match. Is it similar? There is still a gap between Bayern in 1999 and the mad lion in 2002.


    Moreover, in 2002, Manchester United did not become stronger than in 1999, but became weaker.


    Ferguson did not know what to do tactically. The static defense was beautifully arranged. Scholes stared at Pirlo, Keane stared at Nedved, four-back Gabbart restricted the Millwall trident, but the goal was just lost. , Belon is stealing the ball, by whom? Pirlo, where did Scholes go? Of course, it is the running position to wait for the teammates to pass the ball. When Manchester United is attacking, are Manchester United''s offensive players still with Millwall''s players?


    Millwall''s high-pressure rushing defense works, and defense and offense are interlocking and mutually reinforcing. This tactical system has reached its peak this season, and has become a key research topic for European mainstream coach training institutions.


    Ferguson constantly waved on the sidelines to make the team attack faster, try to avoid entanglement with the opponent in the midfield and backcourt, playing fast, even if the success rate is reduced, it is much better than being directly stealing in the midfield and backcourt!


    Someone in the Manchester United has gritted teeth and hearts filled with surging fighting intentions, Keane!


    This is the first Champions League final in his career. The last time Manchester United played in the Champions League final and finally won the cup. Sorry, he and Scholes were both sitting in the stands.


    He and Nedved are actually similar. They are not from football powerhouses. The national team wants to achieve good results in international competitions. That is simply a fool''s dream. Because of this, the Champions League final is the peak of their career.


    In the Premier League, people would like to talk about the contrast between Keane and Vieira, but on the court, Nedved and Vieira, and direct dialogue with Keane are more, also It naturally became the focus of attention.


    In the past few years, as Millwall became more and more successful, Nedved and Vieira and Keane have always been described as winners in the confrontation.


    This is not a fair contest, Nedved attacked, Kean defended, Kean defended Nedved 7 times, 8 times, 9 times, but only failed to guard that time, maybe, the winner¡¯s trophy was awarded To Nedved, this is the fate of the defensive player, a hundred successes, but no fatal defeat.


    And Nedved is not a player who has to fight against Keane. When there is a chance, he can avoid entanglement with the other side and try to avoid it. This also reflects Keene''s strength. Changed to a second-tier midfielder, Nedved directly Either use speed or crush with strength.


    Today, Keane¡¯s main task is still to freeze Nedved, but he did not succeed after the opening. After losing two goals in a row, Keane frantically swept in the backcourt, and his movements became significantly larger.


    In the 35th minute, Nedvide took the ball in the frontcourt. He didn''t look back to observe the receiving point. Pirlo was closely followed by Scholes. Henry, Larson, and Ronaldinho were in the process of running.


    He easily changed direction and broke through the false Belon, and then planned to take a few steps diagonally to the left front, so that the angle was opened, and Ronaldinho or Henry would respond to the ball in front of the penalty area.


    Keane posted up at this moment, rushing towards Nedved, and Nedved confronted him physically, and then forced another step of the ball. He wanted to get rid of Keane by accelerating, at least not barely. Lead to mistakes.


    But Nedved forced another forward in the confrontation. He felt a tingling pain in his thighs. His footsteps slowed down and he fell to the ground after touching his thighs. He covered his eyes with one hand and clenched his fist in the other. Beat the turf violently.


    Finished!


    He knew he couldn''t stick to this game anymore, and he didn''t even finish half of this Champions League final!


    Nedvide fell to the ground, the ball was cut off by Phil Neville, and then the ball was passed to Keane, Keane turned around to spur Manchester United''s offensive.


    The fans in the stands were all amazed and worried.


    Millwall, the **** of war admired by thousands of people, fell!


    Pirlo signaled Keen, who was leading the ball, that they had a player injury and stopped the attack!


    But Keane didn''t care about it. He passed the ball to Belon. Belon just took a step forward. Gattuso fell to the ground and tackled the ball frontally to clear the ball. Then Gattuso stood up and turned angry Bellon shouted: "Fuck you, did you see any of our players injured on the ground? Are you blind?"


    Belon was not good, he pushed up with Gattuso. Fortunately, the referee ran in time to separate the two, and did not play a card to warn the two sides. After all, Gattuso did not foul. The action looked big, but it was very clean. As for The verbal conflict was also caused by Manchester United''s failure to kick the ball out of bounds in time.


    Aldridge''s heart sinks to the bottom, and he can be seen from Nedved''s movements, and it is likely to be a severe strain. It has just recovered from the injury, and it is today without going through a "slow heat" recovery stage. In the fierce confrontation game environment, not only is the probability of relapse of the old injury greatly increased, but it is also impossible to further deteriorate into a serious injury.


    When the team doctor entered the field, Nedvide was lifted off the field. When he came to the sideline, Nedvide turned to look at Aldridge and found Aldridge¡¯s expression, calm and full of self-blame, his eyes full of guilt, Ned Vader said softly to Aldridge: "Boss, if I can''t play today, I will regret my whole life, not your responsibility, but my willfulness."


    Aldridge patted his shoulder gently and nodded, then let Ramore play after warming up.


    "Millwall general Nedvide left in the first half due to injury. This is definitely a very unfavorable situation for Millwall. You must know that Millwall''s two goals are related to Nedved, Zambrotta under The goal that led to Brown''s own goal in the bottom pass was Zambrota to whom Nedvide passed the ball. Ronaldinho''s goal also came from Nedved''s assist. His importance to Millwall is not It is self-evident that the replacement of the entrance by the teenager Lamore is a test for Lamore. In turn, perhaps for Manchester United, they have the opportunity to reverse the adverse situation."


    Ferguson saw Nedved retreat and stepped up to shout to his disciples, asking the Red Devils to play more aggressively and step up the offensive!


    The opponent''s middle road lacks a tough guy who can return to the front of the penalty area. The defensive strength will be reduced. This godsend opportunity must be seized!


    However, the rest of the first half of the game, the development of the game situation, is completely different from Ferguson''s expectations. Manchester United''s disadvantage is more obvious than the period of losing two consecutive goals!

 Chapter 802： Be proud of life

    Nedvide sat on the bench with a comfortable movement on the injured leg. The injured part was wrapped in an ice pack. He watched the game attentively off the court, praying that his injury would not cause the team to lose. ball.


    At this time, he realized that he did not give the captain''s armband to his teammates when he came out, so he took off the captain''s armband and asked Villa sitting next to give the captain''s armband to Aldridge to find a suitable time to pass to the field.


    Southgate was in the stands behind the bench, Nedvide was sitting on the bench, Millwall¡¯s head and deputy captain were not on the field, Aldridge had the captain¡¯s armband in his hand, and he had no chance to hand it to the players So he rushed into his pocket and planned to wait for Larsson at halftime.


    Millwall still adopts high-pressure forced tactics to carry out a pressure attack in the frontcourt.


    Ramall could not replace Nedved, if he had a tough encounter with Keane, there was only one end: being crushed.


    So Millwall''s frontcourt offensive leaned to the left, completely Ronaldinho as the core dispatch, launched an attack on Manchester United.


    Aldridge is already thinking about whether to change the tactics, but at this time, Manchester United took the lead in improving the offensive enthusiasm. After the defensive success, he hastily pressed on, and it seems that he wants to race against the clock to narrow the gap.


    This led to a disconnection between the midfield and backcourt and the frontcourt. The offensive end wanted to play fast and press up, the ball did not go up in the midfield and backcourt, Millwall successfully defended, turned around, and Millwall pressed forward again. Offensive, it is a direct hard charge to Manchester United''s defender line and double-back defense system.


    In the 43rd minute, Belon and Scholes collided with the wall and inserted a slower step. Scholes did not pass to Belon, but instead transferred the attack on a wide range to pass the ball to Giggs, Gigg Si wanted a ball behind him. He thought that Ferguson¡¯s on-the-spot command meant this. He played fast and sought wealth, but Scholes gave him a foot ball, and the landing point became Giggs¡¯ running position. Behind him.


    Schneider rushed forward, stopping the ball in the chest while directing a new wave of attack.


    After reaching the 40 yard area, Schneider crossed Ramor. The latter did not stick the ball and handed the ball to Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho saw Bart and Keane return to the front of the penalty area and compress his inner space. He He pulled it out and took a step back. He looked up and looked at the situation in front of him. The ball was tilted at a 45-degree angle. An inswinging curve ball was hung into the back point of Manchester United''s penalty area. Blank jumped back to fight for the top. Flying behind his scalp, almost at the same time, he heard a muffled noise.


    Larson headed the ball!


    The ball flew into the Manchester United gate against the inside of the goal post!


    "Larson rewrote the score to 3:0! Ronaldinho''s precise cross, a wonderful arc, a wonderful running position, and a powerful header, Millwall locked the victory, they Will achieve the great three consecutive Champions League Champions League!"


    This goal not only relieved Aldridge''s heavy emotions, but also made Millwall''s entire bench boil, cheering.


    They are free to release and cheer for the team''s strength.


    Seven crowns, four consecutive league titles, three Champions League!


    Who cares?


    The players on Millwall were also excited and laughed, completely ignoring Manchester United.


    Ferguson''s face is as black as carbon, 0:3!


    Perhaps in a situation that has been completely "killed", Ferguson can calm down from an outsider, not being affected by the atmosphere, situation, self-ambitions, desires and other emotions.


    Combining the first two goals conceded, Ferguson wanted to understand the weakness of Manchester United today and the reason for the offensive weakness.


    First of all, the right attack is paralyzed, only relying on the left and the middle. Millwall is very easy to defend. Knowing that your attack will develop here, how difficult will it be to defend? Manchester United is already strong on the left and right sides, making full use of the width of the field, tearing the opponent''s defense line, so that the lateral area of ??the opponent''s defense line is enlarged in the swing, and then whether it is a side pass or a straight stop, even if it is a small pass, such Space can be used, but without the response and direct threat from the right, how could Millwall give Manchester United a chance to penetrate the left and the middle?


    Secondly, Manchester United is too fast to attack, the attack is from back to front, lack of return adjustment, cross-court response, which increases the risk of losing the offensive ball. In this way, Millwall is more proficient, and the attack and defense conversion rhythm is poor. So that Millwall can pull down Manchester United''s midfield defense line when launching a fast break, which is why it is hard to see Scholes'' defensive role, because when he runs up the position, Manchester United''s attack stops abruptly. He then turned back to defend. Millwall made three passes and fell to the United penalty area. Scholes wanted to have no time to defend.


    At the end of the half, Manchester United will move towards the player''s channel without expression, while Millwall''s players are particularly relaxed with a smile, and Aldridge turns his head into the player''s channel with enthusiasm.


    Leading 3:0, Manchester United can''t afford to make a big splash.


    In the second half, as long as Millwall shrinks the defense line and pursues to control the game steadily, the championship trophy will come.


    Back in the locker room, Aldridge first handed the captain''s armband in his pocket to Larson, then looked at the smiling players and said, "You did well in the first half! Perfect, you can''t be perfect anymore. Continue to work hard in the second half, we have only 45 minutes left to create a new history, don¡¯t relax, don¡¯t give Manchester United any chance, well, listen to me arrange the second half.¡±


    Aldrich didn¡¯t realize that he didn¡¯t know how many times he had said it before. The players might guess what he would say. The tone he spoke at this time today, the smile on his face couldn¡¯t help but emerge. Subtle changes have taken place in the same situation as before, more like a joke, without any sense of urgency or reminder.


    The players grinning and laughing did not arouse his vigilance. Perhaps the whole team was waiting for the moment when they won the championship trophy. The second half of the 45 minutes was probably a pass, or Manchester United was again Step on more feet.


    Coming to the sidelines in the second half, Aldridge still stood, but his attitude had changed a little, and he didn''t hide the publicity between the eyebrows.


    The football field is ordinary people, laughing and scolding all beings, Aldridge feels proud at this time, but no one will blame him, slam him, pick him.


    Change 10,000 people to stand in his place and get the achievements he has, who will not float? Who can stretch his face seriously, as if to really take "the football game is less than the last minute, never know what will happen" as the truth.


    Maybe someone can do it, then these people can blame Aldridge for the inferiority of his character, but Aldridge will ignore it, because first you go to take three Champions League titles and defend the title once again.


    Ferguson saw Millwall retreat as soon as he played in the second half, changing from a dangerous high-pressure **** tactic to a balanced and controlled tactical system. Ferguson knew that Aldridge was trying to kill Manchester United and minimize the Manchester United overturn. hope.


    Ferguson''s heart also sinks to the bottom, but he still hopes that the Red Devils will break out in a desperate situation. At least this, following Ferguson''s main team lineup for more than 5 years, Ferguson still believes this.


    Millwall''s offensive in the frontcourt is still mainly Ronaldinho. He is extremely active on the left side. He started to have a lot of exciting people in the second half, but he has few opportunities to create opportunities. Ronaldinho broke through after playing for 10 minutes in the second half. After five successful attempts, Henry was given only one foot and gave Larson a chance to grab a spot. However, Henry had no chance and could only get the ball back. Larson tried his best to get the spot.


    Ronaldinho''s performance won the fans of the crazy lion burst into applause in the stands. The crazy lion fans, like the hype-loving Fleet Street, hoped that Ronaldinho would be crowned the new generation of kings. At least in the club, he repeatedly scored in key battles , His personal performance is extremely outstanding, he is not crying on the court, blockbuster!


    Seeing Ronaldinho''s performance, Aldrich also felt happy, but always felt something was wrong.


    Yes, this feeling is very subtle, but there is nothing wrong with it.


    With a good three-ball lead, Aldridge seems to have forgotten what he asked of the team 20 minutes ago.


    control!


    What is control!


    Don''t lose the ball easily!


    Don''t do behaviors that may increase the risk of losing the ball!


    And the more control, the more irritated Manchester United, the more the Manchester United''s defense line can make mistakes in anger, then Millwall will have a better chance.


    But now, Ronaldinho is performing on the court obliviously, after taking the ball, he directly attacks the Manchester United defense. Now, Millwall''s attack is the same as when Manchester United tried to counterattack in the first half, lacking a more meticulous organization. Lack of practical offensive transfer, the point of attack is too obvious.


    Not every game Ronaldinho can overturn the opponent''s defense. Already there is one in the first half of today. If he can change his mind to actively play for his teammates or control the rhythm in the second half, then Millwall may have scored The fourth goal was scored.


    However, Aldridge did not think about it. Perhaps, due to the tolerance of the team, as the head coach, he could not make higher demands on the team in front of him. He was unbeaten in more than 80 games and got so much. Honor, even speaking to them in a heavy tone seems cruel and unreasonable!


    In the 61st minute, Ronaldinho drew the ball from the side and made a two-on-one with Ramall. He directly kicked the long shot outside the penalty area and the ball was confiscated by Bartz. The angle was too good. !


    Ronaldinho watched the long shot to no avail, he showed a bit of a wry smile, then Bartz quickly tossed the ball towards Phil Neville, Ronaldinho turned around and walked slowly towards the backcourt, he just passed a burst of acceleration , And now I plan to take a break.


    Phil Neville drove the ball all the way to the right to kill the frontcourt.


    He passed halftime, Millwall''s trident was left behind, Phil was parallel to Ramor, and reached the 40 yard area, Ramor came over and struck him with Zambrotta, Phil Neville stopped the ball, Keen who followed up came back.


    Keane had already been killed. Henry was three meters behind him. Larson ran to the right to attack Giggs with Schneider. Ronaldinho was still far behind.


    Keane took the ball forward and broke Pirlo''s defense with almost no resistance. When Gattuso came to defend him, he passed the ball to Veron in the parallel position. Unmarked Veron began to play his organizational talent. After collaborating with Scholes who had inserted in front of Materazzi for a short distance, Belon actually passed the ball behind Materazzi and passed the ball.


    Materazzi approached Scholes, not giving him the opportunity to turn around, but behind him, Fanny ran diagonally to the area behind him.


    The over-the-head ball fell in front of the small penalty area line. Fanny had no chance to stop the ball. He knew that if he stopped the ball, Neal would definitely destroy the ball under his feet, so he shot directly with a foot arch without stopping the ball.


    Shooting with the arch of your foot can control the strength and angle to the greatest extent.


    Bute blocked the goal in the near corner, and Fanny, the king of the small penalty area, hit a far corner and cleanly sent the ball into Millwall''s gate.

 Chapter 803： Glasgow night? Do not!

    "Manchester United pulled back a goal! Van Nistelrooy answered Belon''s assist and broke the door guarded by Bout! 3:1, Manchester United came back from the edge of death, but they still need to work hard, the situation is still very unfavorable, two goals Behind, the remaining time is less than 30 minutes."


    Ferguson''s face softened a little. He waved his arms to allow the players to hurry up and go back to form. Now their enemy is not only Millwall, but time!


    Aldridge was confused by Manchester United''s goal.


    strange!


    How can Manchester United organize a slow attack in the midfield and frontcourt?


    Keane, Belon, Scholes, Phil Neville from the sidelines, and Van Nistelrooy with the last blow, plus Giggs¡¯ running control, Manchester United¡¯s attack was Taking advantage of the offensive points, and in the frontcourt, Millwall''s dangerous zone organized a systematic offensive organization. Why can they have the space to play this kind of cooperation?


    It seems that the backcourt is slow to defend, but it shouldn''t allow Belon, Scholes to pass the cut so easily in the back.


    Aldridge frowned slightly, his triumph in his heart and the idea of ??winning the championship eclipsed.


    In only ten or so seconds, he couldn''t get all the details on the field. Besides, he was still relaxed.


    Now carefully observe the comparison of each offensive and defensive situation, the changes of each point.


    After 4 minutes, Henry didn¡¯t cooperate with Ronaldinho in the frontcourt. Manchester United¡¯s old tricks were re-applied, and Phil Neville was used as the starting point for the attack. From the right side, he assisted the ball. It must be clear.


    Ronaldinho!


    No longer participating in defense!


    Aldrich immediately pointed to the ball with Phil Neville shouting at Ronaldinho, his expression also became very serious, but he was far away, Ronaldinho certainly could not hear, and Ronaldinho did not look at him. Come.


    The effect is definitely different between Ronaldinho and non-defense.


    Aldridge never expected that Ronaldinho, Henry, Larson, and other offensive players could achieve the goal of stealing the ball, but their participation in the defense can delay the attack.


    The player''s dribbling speed must be slower than the sprint speed, so even if Phil Neville takes the ball forward, as long as Ronaldinho sprints at full speed to chase, Phil Neville will definitely be caught up by Ronaldinho, and it will continue to get Ball, that''s two different things, but Phil Neville must make the choice to deal with the ball, continue to take the ball? Players who will be disturbed and whose ball protection ability is less than a certain level are afraid to do so. Out of the ball? It is certainly not the most desirable option to play in the defensive state, so Manchester United''s attack will be delayed.


    But now, Manchester United''s offensive can develop from the backcourt to the midfield unimpeded. With the last experience, Ramall intercepted Phil Neville directly from the rear of the center line, so as not to let Phil. When Neville was near the bottom line, Zabrota was pinned down again.


    Phil Neville stopped the ball before Ramall approached and then knocked the ball across to Keane.


    Aldridge had an ominous hunch in his heart.


    This is the chain reaction!


    If Ronaldinho followed Phil Neville, Ramall would follow Keane, not to mention absolute defense, but also to harass and delay Keene¡¯s assists. In the past, this job was Nedved¡¯s made.


    Ronaldinho did not defend, and Ramor would make up, but who would make up for Ramor''s own work?


    Keane took the ball forward, and Pirlo''s defense moved to make Aldridge almost slammed.


    Pirlo is a mobile wall, but the wall needs to be used with Gattuso. Now Pirlo is more like a solitary pile. He actively ran to defend Keane. Perhaps there is also a factor of Keane''s unmarked, regardless How, this chain reaction is constantly escalating.


    Keane passed the ball to Belon. Belon took the ball two steps forward and Gattuso defended. He passed the ball back to Keane who continued to move forward.


    Millwall''s waistline was completely penetrated!


    Keane adjusted a step to the right outside the big penalty area and then took a long shot!


    Without any interference, the quality of this long-range shot was extremely high. Butt flew in the right direction, but in a hurry, he only blocked the ball. The ball rebounded in the penalty area. Before Neal''s clearance, Scholes flew. The tackle kicked the ball hard into the goal!


    "3:2! 3:2! Manchester United scored two goals in six minutes! Two goals in a row! Now the suspense of the game is back! It is back! The Hampton Park stadium is overwhelmed by the support of the Red Devils fans Skyrim, every Red Devils fan believes that Manchester United will achieve a great reversal in the second half, just as they did in 1999! What happened to Millwall? What happened to them? Why were they scored two goals in a short time? Hall¡¯s face was very ugly on the sidelines. He had already recalled the players who had warmed up. It seemed that he planned to change the situation through substitution adjustments to return the game to Millwall¡¯s track."


    When the first conceded ball appeared, the time was 62 minutes. It was normal for Aldridge to let the substitutes warm up. It is normal for him to change who he is. It is necessary to prepare early.


    And the second ball drop appeared in 68 minutes. This drop ball, in an instant, was like a pot of cold water pouring on top of Audridge''s head, making him cold all over.


    A long memory came to mind.


    A reversal in history, Istanbul night!


    Millwall didn''t know how many times he would lead his opponents 3:0. Aldridge has led the team to play games at least 60 times a year in the past years. Who the **** would have thought of Istanbul Night?


    However, at this time today, he remembered that there was a top team called AC Milan, whose lineup ranked among the top three in Europe. With a three-goal lead, the second half was called a short time. The Red Army team scored 3 goals in a row, and eventually lost the penalty shootout and was reversed to win the championship.


    What caused the reversal?


    Liverpool''s luck?


    Benitez''s second half change?


    Still, it is rumored that AC Milan will open champagne in advance to celebrate at halftime!


    Aldrich is not a god, and people make mistakes, so he will too.


    At this point he understood that he had made a fatal mistake!


    wake up!


    Is Manchester United really vulnerable?


    Manchester United gritted their teeth to the end, and came to the final stage with a residual attack. What if they were behind 3 goals? Is it possible to kneel on the ground and start worshiping the mad lion, watching the mad lion climb to the top of Europe for the fourth time with a look of worship?


    No, the Red Devils will be strangled to the last moment, will fight to **** and bite your meat to make you bloody!


    Otherwise, Ferguson should have retired early, and it is impossible for the Red Devils to fight with Millwall last season.


    Millwall has been too smooth this season. It is very different from Manchester United''s five hurdles and six thrilling ball games to send the Reds to the road to get the final tickets. No opponent can cause trouble for Millwall.


    Regardless of the outside world or the inside, one of the most talked about topics is: Millwall¡¯s only enemy is himself!


    But now, it is they who have problems!


    Southgate is out, Nedved is off, the team lacks spiritual leaders, in a good situation, the player''s spirit is relaxed, the will is slack, as if not in the game, but waiting for the passage of time, waiting for the referee to blow After the whistle, they changed into clean clothes, laughed, sang songs and danced, walked to the supreme podium under the witness and blessings of friends and family, and took the club''s highest honor in Europe, which was recorded in history.


    Aldridge couldn¡¯t blame the players completely. He also had his own responsibility. When Nedvide retreated, he was nervous, but the tension disappeared because he scored another goal in the last half of the first half.


    At this time, how naive and ridiculous I think about my words and deeds during the intermission!


    Obviously the players are all careless, but he didn''t take it seriously.


    Being scored twice, the score is completely dangerous.


    After Millwall reopened the ball, Ronaldinho tried to rewrite the score with his own strength on the front line, but Manchester United momentum came up, the magic of the Red Devils was revealed, and Phil Neville and Bart joined forces to make Ronaldinho fall. Falling to the ground, Manchester United went back to counterattack, but Ronaldinho made a useless complaint to the referee on the ground.


    Aldrich called Alonso and Pedretti in front of him solemnly, reaching for the field, and Shen Sheng asked, "What do you see?"


    Alonso and Pedretti''s expressions were serious, and they didn''t speak, just staring at Aldridge''s eyes.


    At this moment, Aldridge''s eyes are very different from those at halftime. As a substitute, they can see that Aldridge''s eyes are full of smiles, but now, they are full of Cruel.


    "We are losing this game!"


    As soon as Aldridge''s words fell, Alonso and Pedretti were astonished.


    With only two substitutions left, Aldridge intends to use them all!


    And if it is just ordinary, normal substitution, it may have no effect.


    He must let the players who are replaced on the court understand the situation at the moment and the important tasks they shoulder!


    In the eyes of Alonso and Pedretti, the team was only pulled back by two goals. They were still leading and took a step back. Even if they lost another goal, the score was still a draw and the game returned to the starting point.


    Even they don¡¯t think how sharp Manchester United¡¯s offense, because Millwall also has offense, Millwall has more attacks, the scene seems, Millwall does not fall down, Manchester United¡¯s two goals, one is a flash of light, Belon''s pick-up pass can be called a master-level performance, a luck component, Keane long shot, Scholes make up shot.


    But Aldridge said that Millwall was losing the game, and the two would not think that Aldridge was alarmist. Just looking at the head coach''s state of running away at the moment, they knew that Aldridge was talking about what he really thought.


    Lose the game? Doesn''t that mean losing the championship? !


    Aldridge seldom emphasizes the fighting spirit during the on-site adjustment, but today, he said to Alonso and Pedretti: "Kean is a ruthless character, but you must face him bravely, he will not To defeat you with skill, you will only use courage, momentum, and body. If you want to compete with him, you must work hard in this regard! As for Belon, don¡¯t be afraid of him, you must tell him that you are much harder than him! Play tricks in front of you and dream! After playing, Alonso, you hit the midfielder, Pedretti, you hit the midfielder, you have to cooperate with Gattuso to control the midfield, especially protect it. Back line, don¡¯t let Manchester United make waves in front of our penalty zone, understand?"


    Alonso and Pedretti nodded together, especially Pedretti. He had been waiting for the day when he was being reused. Perhaps he was still a spare tire today, but combined with the current situation, he knew that it was his moment, Is here!


    Manchester United¡¯s new wave of offense failed, and when the offense turned to Giggs, he was in a difficult position. I have to say that compared to young Ronaldinho and Pirlo, who is a little bit different from himself, let Austria The most reassuring thing about Derek is still the old-fashioned Larson, who can''t lose the chain at the critical moment. Although Larson has no leader charm, but when he sweats diligently, he is unambiguous and will not cut corners or perfunctory.


    It was he who chased back the defense meticulously and successfully restrained Giggs together with Schneider, and this should be the effect that Milwall''s defense on the side should have.


    The only thing Aldridge can be thankful for now is that, at least at halftime, he is correct in his theoretical and tactical changes. If he still uses high pressure to press in the second half, Ronaldinho and Pirlo have problems in the midfield and the United attack It can be played simply and violently. If a ground pass or a long pass is passed, it can penetrate Millwall''s back line. I am afraid that he can score one or two goals in less than 60 minutes.


    In the 72nd minute, Millwall made a substitution. On the court, Pirlo and Ronaldinho watched inconceivably watching the substitution cards play their numbers.


    In the most high-profile battle, the most critical moment, their level players were replaced, certainly not very happy.


    The expressions of the two were not very good-looking. When they walked out to the sidelines, the two stood beside Aldridge and spread their palms.


    Without the brilliant performance of this season, without the experience of fighting side by side in the past few years, Aldridge didn¡¯t even care about them, but they only had problems in the last 45 minutes. Aldridge couldn¡¯t bear to take the scene. There was a stalemate, so he turned and said to the two of them, "I made a mistake in this game, and you also made a mistake. Now, sit back and watch the game quietly."


    Aldrich''s demands on the players have never appeared out of thin air, but they have been repeated and instilled for many years. Ronaldinho and Pirlo can''t argue with Aldridge after hearing it. What''s wrong?


    Defensive chant!


    One thing I have to admit is that a talented offensive player disdains to defend and does not want to defend.


    But under Aldrich, you are going to defend!


    And must meet the standard.


    3:0 lead a lazy, human nature, other times, Aldridge will not go viral in the game, there will be coaches after the game specifically to find players to discuss this issue, but today, I really have no time to communicate this issue, Milwaukee I''m facing life and death now!


    It is no exaggeration to say that if this game is eventually lost, the reputation of Aldrich I will be ruined.


    The miracle of the Millwall dynasty will also be turned into a laughing stock in a shocking reversal!


    Aldridge turned to face the court, and started to mention Lamor to change his position, he was unable to take care of his face, and Millwall retracted to fight back!

 Chapter 804： Back in time

    At halftime, Aldridge didn''t choose to play in the second half and he was scrupulous. To put it bluntly, he was worried that Millwall had the highest probability of losing the ball in various events this season.


    In addition to the very open game between the UEFA Champions League and the La Liga doubles, which resulted in a lot of goals conceded, other games combined, their average number of goals conceded is very low, ranking the lowest in the Premier League and even the top five leagues. However, among these goals, the Millwall coaching staff analyzed the situation of the goals and summed it up as one point: being mixed by the opponent!


    From a high level of analysis, it is actually the most difficult situation to defend: two offenses and three offenses.


    In a frontal defense, Millwall could do his best, but after the opponent played an offense, when Millwall failed to adjust the defense line in time and rearranged the mark-and-play defense, a ball loss may occur. It happens on the team, there is no absolutely perfect defensive strategy and the goal is absolutely not lost.


    So Millwall''s biggest fear is that the opponent creates chaos in the penalty area, the first attack cannot be achieved, and the opponent seizes the second opportunity to form a threat to the goal.


    Considering that Manchester United has the king of the small penalty area Van Nistelrooy, Aldridge ordered the team to control and balance as much as possible in the second half. Really retracted, Manchester United held high and hit the Universiade. The ghost in the penalty area took the opportunity to put the ball into the goal, this kind of ball will be lost so that Aldridge can only sigh in the sky.


    Now withdraw to fight back. In fact, Aldridge will not think too much. Command has become an instinct. When he is really sane, he instinctively knows when to use what tactics and strategies. Originally Pirlo and Jr. When Luo was on the field, they had the ability to control the ball and hold their destiny firmly in their hands, but they did not do that. Without doing so, Millwall''s defense had a fatal problem: the middle was weak!


    After the lack of Nedved in this central axis, Gattuso alone is obviously much softer than Manchester United Keane Gascols before and after, especially Keen attacked, Bart guarded the back waistline in the case of.


    So Aldridge did not hesitate to replace both Pirlo and Ronaldinho. This made fans in the stands feel puzzled and confused, as if Millwall was self-defeating.


    The replacement of Pedretti and Alonso is hard to say, but it is really limited, but in the end it is more than Pirlo and Ronaldinho can contribute to the defense. At the same time, Millwall''s overall tactics have changed, not In the battle of the position, Alonso¡¯s talents are enough, and he does not have to hold high demands on him to replace Pirlo perfectly.


    Millwall beat many opponents this season only to play long pass, forced the opponent to change the established technical and tactical system, to the final stage of the season, the last 20 minutes, Millwall itself was embarrassed and abandoned them The usual style of play, all of this, is to pay for the mistakes and pay for the mistakes of excessive relaxation at the intermission.


    Now their formation has become 451, not even 4231.


    Ramor and Larson are one left and one right wing, double backs Gattuso and Pedretti, Alonso midfielder, with Henry at the top.


    In the face of Manchester United''s attack, Millwall retreated three lines, Henry withdrew to the middle circle, and the remaining 10 teammates all arranged a tight defense in the 40 yard area.


    Manchester United scored two goals in a row to kill their red eyes. The impetuous gadgets of the momentum are all in contrast to each other. Millwall is loose and tight. He wants to raise the momentum back to suppress Manchester United. How can it be so easy?


    So now Millwall is using more people and a higher fault tolerance rate to stabilize the military.


    Ferguson and Aldridge are constantly commanding the team''s offense and defense on the sidelines. This scene has been very rare in recent years, as if the two are inseparable.


    Commanding players to attack positions, defending to mark people, angry at players'' mistakes or bad choices to deal with the ball, and even heed every penalty of the referee.


    The smoke on the field was filled with fouls, and it seemed that he had returned to the previous confrontation of English football, which was biased towards brutality and physical fighting.


    Millwall squeezed backcourt space, Manchester United was in the encirclement after halftime, Keane confronted the first class, but Alonso hit his stalker and would never let Keane connect in unmarked tandem. Offensive, Keen angrily successively quarreled with Alonso and Gattuso, Veron fell into stealth, giving Veron space, he was a master, entangled him, and surrounded him to block and close and fiercely snatched him, he It is difficult to play.


    Millwall''s U-turn to attack is basically a sidewalk, either Larson or Ramor. With Henry being shot dead in the middle, it is difficult to make a change in the forward attack.


    When the game seemed to be stuck, Aldridge was slightly relieved. His team was fortunate to stabilize. Alonso and Pedretti not only eased the defensive pressure of the team, but also actively fighting through them, fierce. The defensive moves of the two teenagers are conveying Aldrich''s on-the-spot instructions.


    Gattuso, Zambrotta and Materazzi, who are still on the field, regained their strength after slowing down the continuous drop of the ball, and the momentum also came up. They understood that this game should be their role in Milwaukee. The last game of Seoul, in any case, to help the team win, is not only the honor of the club, but also the new peak of their personal career.


    In the 80th minute of the game, Ferguson set out to make a substitution. He still sullenly faced. Manchester United''s first two goals were actually counterattacks against Millwall. When they couldn''t fight back, Manchester United''s ability to tackle was somewhat lacking. There was a wing, and Belon had no sense of presence in the tight space of the frontcourt. Even if there was, most of them would see his mistakes. The three-midfield interception defense of Millwall Middle Road was too crazy, Alonso , Pedretti, Gattuso, maybe within a small range can pass one of them, but absolutely can not pass the second one, the lost ones will immediately withdraw the back seat, interlocking, unlike Peel Luo is in this area, it will be passed.


    "Man United''s substitutions. Ferguson replaced Belon with Super Subs. Solskjaer. Manchester United strengthened the striker and they are going to make the final blow!"


    Seeing Solskjaer play, Aldridge was not worried.


    The tight string in my heart relaxes.


    Midfield pressure diminished!


    If there is one less Belon, there will be one less support point or organizer in Manchester United''s midfield. In the local defense, Millwall will also make one more person when he marks the defense!


    However, after the substitutions, Manchester United will definitely not focus on the midfield penetration again, but will take the sidewalk, hit a long pass and try to create chaos in Millwall''s restricted area. They have an extra striker!


    Sure enough, as Aldridge expected, Manchester United began to play Giggs'' ability on the sidelines. Scholes also took the initiative to pull the edge and lifted the ball into the penalty area.


    Ferguson was on the sidelines, seeing less and less time, Millwall''s defensive pressure on the middle of the road decreased, and the division of troops to support the wing accordingly. Manchester United did not even have a chance to play on the wing in 3 minutes. Too.


    After Ferguson gritted his teeth, he no longer hesitated and ordered the full-back to also assist. Phil Neville and Sylvester rushed up to support the attack.


    Aldridge also made a new round of tactical adjustments at this time.


    He does not expect to completely rely on defense to consume the game time, somehow, the more he reaches the final stage, there will be a lingering thought in his heart: Manchester United is hard!


    Yes, the Bayern Munich was reversed in 1999, and the Moscow rain game in 2008. Terry missed the goal post with a penalty. How hard was Manchester United''s life in the two Champions League finals? This is unscientific, but it will give rise to some unscientific thoughts, and even fear.


    Really let Manchester United continue to play like this, and continue to invest in the offense. Millwall is only defensive. If it is not possible, it will be completely tied. What then? The further back, the less control the coach has over the game.


    Aldridge knew that he had made a mistake and allowed Manchester United to develop the game to this stage, but he had no time to blame and reflect. When he made adjustments after sober, his thinking was very clear. Back to the initiative of the game, although the situation on the court does not look like that.


    From 70 minutes to 85 minutes, Millwall¡¯s offense was not threatening. It originated from a single wing attack point. Manchester United¡¯s offensive was fierce. After the momentum contrast was close to flat, players on the field stabilized their minds and did not make mistakes after busy. In 85 minutes, Aldridge also issued new tactical instructions.


    Flanker, go up!


    Not attacking from the middle, limited by the ability of his own players, Gattuso and Pedretti are all attacking weak and defending strong, Alonso is not too fast, can be used as a response point, but not as an impact arrow that drives the offensive Besides, there will be Keane and Bart in front of him, also to bypass Manchester United''s midfielder. After attacking, the midfielder has a stronger awareness of the sideline defense, and Millwall''s two full-backs Schneider and Zan Brota, physical fitness should be no problem, they did not have many straight up and down today. It broke out in the final stage, which was what Aldridge thought when he replaced Ronaldinho and Pirlo, but first he needed to stabilize the defense. Therefore, it is necessary to close the formation first, and also lead the snake out of the hole, forcing Manchester United to weaken the defense''s tactical purpose.


    In the 87th minute, Manchester United attacked the left, Giggs and Sylvester cooperated in the trapped circle of Pedretti, Larson, and Schneider, and Giggs barely kicked the ball into the end. Millwall was behind the penalty area, but Bout was accurate in predicting and took the ball from the air before snatching Solskjaer''s outcourt at the latter point.


    After holding the ball, Bout was standing on the ground as if he did not intend to serve the goal kick quickly. Solskjaer and Fanny originally intended to interfere with him, but when he saw him standing still in front of the goal line, he immediately ran back to defend , But as soon as they moved, Bout also moved, running towards the upper left corner of the penalty area.


    Aldridge snarled, shouting to Larsson and Schneider who were close to him on the side of the court: "Quick! Seize this opportunity!"


    Ferguson clearly saw Millwall¡¯s wing players all moving forward and running wildly, as if back in time. He saw Millwall when he first played against Millwall at Old Trafford seven years ago. A lightning fast attack is about to take place!

 Chapter 805： Seven crowns shine!

    "Bout rushed outside the penalty area and threw the ball quickly to serve the goal kick. We clearly saw Zambrotta running fast on the left, Bout''s hand tossed by Zambrotta, Scholes Running over to snatch, Zambrotta passed directly to Ramor in front, then Zambrotta continued to fast forward and Scholes chased Ramor again, the latter shot the ball and passed by Zambrotta, the Italian is really fast and has passed halftime and is rushing towards Manchester United''s penalty area."


    When Zambrotta took the ball forward, only Alonso passed the center line in Milwall''s middle road, and there was no sign of continuing forward. He was probably here to make an excessive series of connection points.


    At the same time, Zambrotta moved forward along the side road, and Lamor around him began to pierce the gap between Manchester United''s full-back and center-back in the penalty area.


    At this time, there are only three defenders left in the Manchester United defense, Neville, Brown, Blank, and Bart. But Keane, who is back in the middle, is about to return to the position. He directs Bart to defend Lamore and defend himself. Qianzhong Road area in the restricted area.


    Aldridge witnessed this attack, held his breath, and couldn¡¯t help getting nervous. This was the front line of life and death. Millwall accumulated an outbreak of nearly 20 minutes. If his previous achievements were abandoned and his luck was worse, Manchester United could not waste a second to fight back. However, Millwall''s back line is not Alonso, only 4 people are left.


    Zambrotta''s dribbling along the sidewalk seemed to go to the bottom line. After attracting Phil Neville, he observed that Ramall ran into place and then stopped and ran back one step, pulling away from Bart and Brown. Distance, Zambrotta made a decisive stop and passed the ball to Ramor while running laterally. Before Ramor received the ball, Bart forced him up, as long as Ramor turned or he stopped the ball, Bart may steal the ball with his foot, but Ramall just hit the ball with one foot and knocked the ball back gently.


    Zambrotta, who was running horizontally, took the ball again and cut into the middle. Keane had to come over to defend him. When Keane moved, Zambrotta made a strong cross, and Larson and Schneider on the other side also ran up. Now!


    Silvester and Giggs did not have a clear division of labor. They all stared at Larson, close to the middle, but Larson missed the ball. Giggs and Silvester were shocked. The rhythm pauses and intends to defend Schneider, but sees Schneider passing the ball diagonally forward, and Giggs and Sylvester look away again, and his heart is cold!


    Larson entered the Manchester United penalty area and received Schneider''s oblique pass to the ball. This combination was decisive and effective. It beat the Manchester United defensive player with a poor rhythm. It was very exciting.


    Larsson got the ball on the right side of the penalty area, stopped the ball, observed, Blank came to the defense, he took a step to the bottom line, and then cross the front door, this attack Millwall was from left to right, initially Manchester United The line of defense leaned towards Zambrotta''s side, and within a short period of time it hit back to the other side. The defender and the person had problems. Brown tried his best to interfere with Henry, but Henry still grabbed him in front of the goal. Point, in response to Larson''s horizontal pass, swept the ball towards the goal.


    Batezi has saved the ground with the fastest speed, but still failed to seal the gap at the edge of the goal post. The ball was rubbing the inside of the goal post and rolled into the goal!


    "4:2! 4:2! Millwall''s final victory was secured by Henry! The game includes less than 4 minutes of injury time and stoppage time. Unless Manchester United can stage a 99-year miracle, the game will end soon. Millwall has invested a lot of troops in this counterattack, which is obviously risky, but they are rewarded with a golden goal! The crazy lion fans in the stands will not be worried, will they be reversed by Manchester United, now they Lead two goals again!"


    Henry watched the ball roll into the goal, and then his expression was distorted by excitement, running openly towards the coach seat with open arms. All Millwall''s coaches and substitute players stood on the sidelines, beside Aldridge. After the ball, everyone was ecstatic, Aldridge raised his head and closed his eyes, as if instantly exhausted with all his strength.


    At this moment, Aldridge suddenly realized that his shirt was soaked. I wonder if it was cold sweat or the hot sweat that was constantly walking on the sidelines to direct the game...


    Feelings of emotion, a deep feeling like escape from death.


    This is a job that you can not only slack off, but you can¡¯t be proud, you can¡¯t be complacent, you can¡¯t be proud!


    I used to admonish myself like this before, but to say that, when there is no proud capital, you can say whatever you want. If you are above all people, as if you step on everything, who can keep your heart the same? Who''s mood can be as light as water?


    When Henry ran over, Aldridge hugged him with the others, everyone cheered and roared, Millwall was frightened in the second half as if he had been knocked off all the qualities of the king, and came back again!


    The only thing Aldridge can comfort himself is that at the most critical moment, he did not panic, nor did Millwall lose his most determined risk-taking spirit, if the last moment was not howling to let Schneider and Larson Ignoring the defense and rushing up, maybe there is no such goal, maybe the fate of the final is still very suspenseful.


    Ferguson''s face is frosty, and the old rivers and lakes have a sense of tragic heroic end.


    Manchester United is a crippled Manchester United, Millwall also lacks two main forces, and even in the game, there are two main forces off the chain, and in the final gambling, Millwall won, Manchester United, lost Too.


    Audric warned the players to defend well in the last few minutes. Try to control the ball when they have the ball. Try to avoid positioning the ball when the ball is not. The defense should be clean and decisive. Do not hesitate in thinking!


    When the game restarts, the Hamptons Stadium has begun to echo the mad lion''s team song, and the mad lion fans began to celebrate the team''s championship in advance.


    The momentum on the field, Millwall is no longer suppressed by Manchester United, when Manchester United''s wave of offense failed, Millwall midfielders began to play their advantage: physical strength!


    Alonso, Pedretti, Ramall, and the veteran Larson, the retreating Henry, they consumed Manchester United by frequently falling feet. Manchester United initially chased and blocked, but it still couldn''t run faster than the speed of the ball transfer. The backcourt players did not dare to rush to grab. They knew that Millwall would wait for them to grab. As long as the back line was available, Henry would rush up and be beaten behind.


    Every time Millwall''s player passed a ball, a huge cheer came from the stands.


    When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the match, the Hampton Court Stadium burst into cheers rushing to the sky.


    "The 2001-2002 season UEFA Champions League final is over. The defending champion Millwall defeated Manchester United 4:2. The club won the European Championship for the fourth time in the history of the club! And achieved three consecutive Champions League Champions League! Millwall Become the team with the most Champions League titles in England, and Liverpool alongside them. As the most successful Premier League team in the Premier League era, Millwall deservedly became the Premier League first, and they are also the contemporary European first! This season From August last year to May this year, Millwall have won the English Charity Shield, the European Super Cup, the Toyota Cup, the English League Cup, the English FA Cup, the English Premier League, the European Championship, a total of seven events. Champion! And completed a series of great records, undefeated in all competitions throughout the season, winning all Champions League games, scoring..."


    When the players rushed into the field to celebrate and the coaches hugged each other, Aldridge turned slowly to Ferguson.


    After seven years of rivalry, Ferguson appears to be exhausted in a never-ending war, and now he looks helpless and seems to be getting older.


    When Aldrich held his hand together, Aldridge said calmly: "Alex, I almost planted it in your hands today."


    "I know, you guys are so proud, your players seem to want to celebrate champagne early, and many years ago, Manchester United players did the same. You have to wake them up, rebuke them with a strong and deep tone, ...Aldridge, you won again, F! Why did you win again?"


    Aldridge stepped forward and embraced Ferguson. Ginger was still old and spicy. This sentence means experience. There is no doubt that in experience, Ferguson is definitely richer than Aldridge. Why did Aldridge never experienced it before, or It''s such a deep escape, because the team has been exchanging blood in the past, avoiding this situation as much as possible, but in the past three or four years, although the team is stable, the mentality has become arrogant because of continuous victory. In my life, I almost relaxed and collapsed at the last minute.


    "Why? Alex, maybe I''m lucky than you, because I have them."


    Aldridge set his sights on the court, Henry, Ronaldinho, Larson, Gattuso and their group gathered to celebrate.


    Ferguson shook his head slightly, said nothing, and seemed to disagree with Aldridge''s statement.


    In Ferguson''s eyes, Millwall''s paper strength is indeed strong, but it is not strong enough to be undefeated all season, and the Champions League 17 wins. They have big names. Are there other teams? The lineup of European giants can be ranked inferior to Millwall, and it is really not possible to find a few.


    Ferguson walked into the field to comfort those Red Devils who were paralyzed and unable to conceal their loss.


    Aldrich was already surrounded by cameras. He walked towards the field, and it was the crazy lions who were celebrating the championship.


    He let out a long breath.


    Although it is almost impossible to guarantee the late season, it is undeniable that Millwall is perfect this season.


    The achievements laid this season, I am afraid that it is difficult for any team to surpass. With the future development trends and trends of football, the strong are stronger, and it is difficult to reproduce the glory of this season.


    The undefeated Golden Body Seven Crowns may become a legend from tomorrow, and the future will become a legend...


    Volume IX Expedition to the World

 Chapter 806： World Cup roster

    Suddenly a spring breeze came, football became the most popular topic on the planet recently, the World Cup is in sight, global attention, street tabloids, TV news, all related to football, the legendary Millwall legendary seven crown king has become history, The journey of the England national team to the East has become the hottest topic in the country.


    On the occasion of Aldridge¡¯s 26th birthday, the fans are calculating how many honors the young coach has received in the past eight years, how many dream achievements they have achieved, and how many legendary coaches have caught up with the achievements of the legendary coaches in England. In his heart, this young marshal is omnipotent, descended from mythology, and is the long-awaited savior of England, but the English national team cast a shadow on the eve of the expedition, even the most optimistic people cannot There are higher expectations for England, it seems that God is making trouble for England!


    "Can David Beckham catch up with the World Cup?"


    "Gary Neville is sure to miss the World Cup! Who can top the right back of England?"


    "Steve Gerrard''s old injury has recurred, and the Liverpool medical team has been blamed! England has lost another general!"


    "1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses! The England national team has only one win in 5 warm-up matches this year. How to conquer the world?


    ...


    Around the England national team, a series of negative news poured out, the confidence of the people was almost hit to the freezing point, and the clever women could not cook without rice. Everyone knows this. The lack of generals and the poor state of the country, why the England national team went to Asia good grade?


    Today is the day to submit the final list of the participating teams to the Korea-Japan World Cup Organizing Committee.


    In the morning, Ewen called at home, and Burt and Earl played football in the backyard. The two children forgot to turn off the TV in the living room in the morning. At this time, a new episode of the program was still playing on the TV. The BBC sorted out A set of highlights of Millwall''s performance last season is playing at the end, which is Audric''s post-match interview speech after winning the Champions League.


    "Yes, we encountered difficulties in the game. Millwall took it lightly and almost gave Manchester United a chance to reverse the situation. I will not ignore the specific problems because of the victory. Millwall must improve this, but this job , Will focus on next season, about Pirlo, Gattuso and other players to go and stay, it is not suitable to talk about this topic, you said they are already selling houses in London, maybe they want to change to a new house, hehe..."


    Upstairs in the bedroom, Ewen stood in front of the window, looking down at the two boys playing football in the backyard, and said to the phone: "Thank you for your kindness, Victoria, but I have recently felt uncomfortable and not suitable for going out, this The second time Aldridge went to Asia, I did not plan to go with him."


    "Really? That''s a shame."


    Ewen said goodbye to Victoria at the other end of the phone and hung up.


    Originally, there was nothing to intersect. In life, Aldridge and Beckham ate at least two meals a year, and most of them were still working relationships. They were also inside the football industry.


    However, due to the national team, and the fact that there are wives in England, they have a certain position in it. Victoria, who is so versatile, invites Ewen to go to Japan with their gangs to cheer on England.


    Yiwen knew that if she appeared in the stands with Victoria and the girlfriends or wives of other players, she would certainly attract a lot of right and wrong topics. She didn¡¯t want to distract Audridge and bring him trouble, and she said that she was unwell, It''s not an excuse, it''s just inappropriate language.


    Burt and Earl will still go to Japan with their grandparents, and they will travel right and not be mixed with the wife of England.


    At this moment, Aldridge and the England national team are both at Millwall''s training base.


    The Premier League ended at the beginning of the month, and the leagues of other countries also came to an end at that time. The national team warm-up match followed. The national team was already in the state of preparation for the UEFA Champions League final, so when Millwall returned After going to London for the grand celebration parade of the Seven Crowns, two national team warm-up matches were ushered in immediately.


    For the sake of insurance, the internationals contacted by Man all rested, plus the lack of major generals, the two warm-up matches of the national team played worse, one level and one loss, making Fleet Street panic.


    In this national team training, Aldridge recruited very few players. He was to avoid a situation, that is, for example, when 30 people were recruited, then when the final list is determined, you have to notify 7 of them. Tell them face to face: You cannot follow the team to Asia to participate in the World Cup.


    Originally, Aldridge¡¯s national team lineup was relatively stable, plus two or three people were deleted, and now because of Gary Neville, Gerrard withdrew due to injury, Aldridge faced the problem instead of other mainstream The problem with the coach of the powerful national team.


    Like Spain, Italy, Germany, Brazil, Argentina, the head coach will have a headache who will kick it out!


    Aldrich''s headache is, who will choose to make up!


    The coaching staff gathered at the meeting to reorganize and analyze the performance, status, position of the field and characteristics of the national football candidates in order to provide advice to Audridge and finalize the final World Cup roster.


    Aldridge is doing this job positively.


    He outlined the framework of the main line-up. The 23-man roster, 11 main players, plus two substitute goalkeepers, there are 10 people left. Basically, it is enough to match each position. There is a substitute for each position. , That will definitely be given priority.


    4321 formation.


    The three goalkeepers have no suspense.


    Four backs, Gary Neville is gone. According to the performance and position of Phil Neville at Manchester United this season, he can be replaced. At the same time, because he is a Manchester contact, he also works with Beckham, who is also the right back. Better than Mills.


    Central defender, Southgate Gard Ferdinand.


    Left back, Ashley Cole, Ashley Cole on loan to Tottenham for a season has become very mature, he and Lampard, Joe Cole just help Tottenham this old and sick team to take Arriving at the top of the standings made Arsenal fans resentful, thinking that Millwall had loaned the Three Tigers to give Tottenham a disgusting gunman.


    Three backs, Beckham, Lampard have no suspense, Beckham has recovered, recently participated in restorative training, although there is no competition, but Beckham''s fighting spirit and physical fitness are excellent, obtained at Millwall Medical Center With better care and a scientific recovery plan, his timely comeback is faster than expected.


    Bart is still the one with some worries in Aldrich¡¯s eyes. His ability is the end of first-class. Perhaps only fighting spirit and experience may overshadow Hargreaves. Aldrich thinks about it, or decides to use Bart as the main candidate. Hagg After all, Reeves didn''t know much about the big scenes, and Bart was still in contact with Man. He also had an inherent advantage in tacit understanding.


    Scholes, McManaman, Owen, the frontcourt trio were free of injuries and illnesses, and the state was okay. No one was so bad that Aldridge had a headache.


    After determining the main lineup framework, Aldridge began to list the candidates for each position.


    The right back has Mills.


    Central defenders include Campbell and Terry. Brown was excluded from the roster. Most of the time last season he was recuperating and his condition was not satisfactory after his return.


    The left back has Bridge.


    Midfield is his biggest headache.


    Bart''s location is Hargreaves.


    Lampard and Beckham had Gerald''s position, but now it''s gone.


    "We need two candidates for the positions of David and Frank, and their characteristics are different."


    Aldridge knocked on the table to give orders.


    The coaching staff acted, and someone picked up a piece of information and said: "How about Barry? He can defend.


    Aldrich took a look at Gareth Barry''s information and told the truth, he heard the name, the basic strength of the player, he had a rough assessment in his heart, but, to go to the World Cup also need to pay attention to a fate, like Gerald There is no problem with his strength, but if he is injured, he cannot go, and Gary Neville is no different.


    After reading Barry''s information, Aldridge shook his head and said: "He did not play many games last season, and he still plays as a defender. I want a lower back, not a defender."


    Barry is playing midfield in the future, but he is not now, so Aldridge rejected this candidate, the same reason he rejected Carragher.


    "How about Tottenham Carrick? The players we cultivated."


    Aldridge heard Boaz''s proposal and remembered Carrick.


    When he took over the national team, he let the U21 echelon focus on cultivating Carrick. After Carrick left Millwall, his development trajectory was okay. Last season, Tottenham boss Levi came to visit Aldridge personally and rented three generals. , And then brought Carrick to Tottenham on the transfer market. I have to say that Levi¡¯s Jewish mind was very flexible. When he first arrived, he recognized Millwall¡¯s sign, and those Millwalls let go. There are indeed a lot of players in the game, and of course, the players who have been poached in small clubs are naturally genuine.


    Carrick and Lampard controlled the midfielder last season, and their performance was very outstanding.


    While Carrick is in Tottenham, he is hitting the midfielder, Lampard is playing the midfielder.


    Aldridge thought for a while and said: "Then he is one less than Carrick''s characteristics."


    Boas, the data-collecting maniac, immediately picked up another piece of information and threw it at the Aldridge table. They were not so slick when they were working. They always pay attention to efficiency. Such scenes of losing things in public are commonplace.


    "Keell Dyer of Newcastle United, although a bit adventurous, is really better!"


    After Boas''s words were finished, Aldridge looked through the information and looked at it.


    The genius of England cultivated by Robson.


    Keelung Dyer, although there are exaggerated facts, but in the football circle, it is just touted, the scenery will not be long, you have to be a little capable.


    Dyer, how did the British media brag about him?


    He is faster than Zidane, Zidane will, he will!


    This is obviously shit!


    However, under Robson''s rule, Newcastle United''s record has soared in recent years, and it is inseparable from the outstanding performance of the midfielder, Dyer.


    Aldrich had known this player for a long time, but he has not recruited the national team. He used to have plenty of staff. He is not a constant off-court player. With the addition of stop-and-stop players, he is not very willing to use it. It¡¯s in vain, and I can¡¯t count on it at all. Why? It hurts.


    However, after looking at the performance data of the second half of the Dale League, and now there is a lack of major generals, Aldridge can only give him a chance, and speaking of the characteristics, Dyer and Carrick are really different. When studying Newcastle United , Aldridge knew that the "genius" was almost all-round in the frontcourt. The style of the ball was also good at breaking the ball, making the situation open, and the impact of its speed, it is worth gambling. After all, it is a substitute, well prepared, maybe there is a role as a soldier.


    "Okay, just him. Joe Cole, Alan Smith..."


    When talking about Alan Smith, Aldridge was silent. Last season, Alan Smith was withdrawn from the front line at Leeds United, closer to the midfield. Odridge thinks that Alan Smith is a wrong era. If he is late In ten years, when the defensive forward also began to become a style, Alan Smith could be better than now, stalking the defender, running constantly, starting to defend from the first line, and the partial defense succeeded immediately. The front shock hit the opponent''s defense line halo, plus he has the consciousness and ability to play, but it is a pity that the wrong era and the wrong place are born. In England, the striker needs to be one high and one fast, high, he is not high, Fast, but not absolutely fast, individual soldiers can''t count on the fight. If you want to make a ball, you must first hold the ball, especially the high-altitude ball.


    Aldrich thought about it, still intending to give Smith a chance, but in using his considerations, he has changed from a forward to a midfielder.


    "There is also a forward, Husky, Husky, Husky..."


    Aldrich stroked his head, not knowing why, when he mentioned Husky, he felt very heavy.


    Probably the opponent''s poor number of goals really made him a little desperate.


    In the conference room, other coaches felt that the work was done, yeah, the final list, Husky counted, the replacement for each position is enough, the list of 23 people is finalized!


    But their expressions were weird, and they found Aldridge frowning and murmuring in his mouth, repeating Husky''s name.


    "Apart from Husky, can we still have strikers to choose?"


    The other coaches looked at each other, looked at the shortlist, and said one name after another.


    Sheringham?


    Fowler?


    Cole?


    Crouch?


    Wasser?


    Aldrich shook his head. These were either old or small, and they couldn''t count on it.


    He didn¡¯t want to bring Husky. In theory, Husky is good, but Aldridge remembers that Husky¡¯s scoring efficiency in the national team is terrible. It is estimated that 8-9 games can score a goal!


    Bring him, Aldridge may choose to let him go up when he is helpless, and then the England team rushes to hang and crosses.


    But I can think about it, the original England is to play a very mature cross-play tactics. In a very mature technical and tactical system, Husky can only score so few goals. How can he let Aldridge take him at a critical moment? Send it to bet? And there is such a player on the bench that will also change the direction of the head coach''s thinking. Just send him to gamble, and then, lose, who is it?


    Aldrich thought about going, instead of betting with luck, it was better to cut off his retreat.


    In case Irving has any good, Lao Tzu will play without a tactic!

 Chapter 807： Update

    In the conference room, everyone in the coaching staff stared at Aldridge, who was sitting at the top of the long table in contemplation.


    Many people are puzzled.


    England is a single striker and Irving is the best choice. In England''s system of defensive counterattacks, Irving''s speed, position and shooting can be played to the extreme.


    Just like you can¡¯t find a substitute for Beckham, it¡¯s impossible to find a substitute for Irving!


    Similar features and insufficient capacity.


    The characteristics are different, the technical and tactical system conflicts with the characteristics of the players, and offset each other, such as Husky, Husky can be a fulcrum, but the England team needs the first line of attackers to fight the enemy!


    The characteristics of McManaman, Scholes, Owen, and the three are intertwined with each other and complement each other. This set and tactical system are tailor-made. If the three are missing, replace them with a substitute and the power will be greatly reduced.


    But there is no way, that''s all for England''s talent pool, who can be used without Husky?


    Aldrich thought of many things while contemplating.


    I remembered that I was naively planning to build two sets of technical and tactical systems in the England national team and ended in failure.


    I thought of the long history of England''s backwardness in the history of the game with an unintentional long pass to the sidelines to linger.


    I thought of the stability of most World Cup champions in the current tournament and the unification of tactical thinking.


    In the eight years of coaching Millwall, whether it was his own experience or witnessing others, Aldridge knew that the more he was at the critical moment, the more he could not be vacillated, and he could not think about everything.


    You can''t count, it''s not accurate, and there is no perfect capital!


    What exactly is the World Cup?


    To put it bluntly, the participating teams play at least 3 games and at most 7 games in international competitions.


    In the 3-7 ball game, pure technical and tactical collisions will not be dazzled. First, stability is the main factor. Secondly, each team will try to exert its own strengths as much as possible. position.


    Therefore, among these strikers in England, apart from Irving, Aldridge couldn¡¯t think of any effect of changing to others. Even a striker with a characteristic like Husky, if replaced, would create confusion for the teammates, thus affecting themselves. Mature technical and tactical system to play.


    As for other strikers, since Aldridge doesn''t expect them, it doesn''t matter if they are taken or not.


    When Irving was unable to play, he would rather use Joe Cole to go up and play without the front. At least the essence of the technical and tactical system is that it can be played without the front. If other people have problems, Aldridge will not. Think again, it comes down to one thing: England has no life in the World Cup.


    He had to cut off the possibility that his on-the-spot command and dispatch would change the technical and tactical system. Sometimes, the chaos became more and more chaotic, but instead he insisted that he could have a miracle.


    But the list of 23 people, after all, has to make up 23 talent lines, who should bring this last person, Aldridge closed his eyes and meditated, have to say that to play in the World Cup is also a period of history that he cannot ignore in his personal coaching career in the future. Well, at this time, he wants to leave as much deeds as possible for future generations. It is a piece of shame for himself. Even if England does not perform well, he is at least a little creditful for the position of coach of the national team.


    Promoting newcomers!


    Lampard, Ashley Cole, Ferdinand, all he helped, and now Terry.


    As the last candidate, he intends to add an additional credit to his young handsome "Huiyanzhuzhu", fortunately, this person will indeed be one of the few who can count on the Three Lions.


    When Aldridge finalized the selection of the last national team, there was a silence in the conference room. Colleagues looked differently. Some people wanted to object, but after thinking about it, they gave up. They also thought that the World Cup is actually 3 games. In the seven-ball tournament, many players participated in the World Cup with their teams, but many players did not have the opportunity to debut at the World Cup. There are many roles in the running suit, which are forgotten.


    The final list will be finalized and the meeting will be disbanded. The FA will submit this list to the Organizing Committee of the Korea-Japan World Cup.


    "Juergen, please stay away, there is one thing we need to talk about."


    Others packed up the documents on the table and got up, and Aldridge made a statement to leave Klinsmann behind.


    Klinsmann didn¡¯t know what Aldridge wanted to talk to him, so when there were only two of them left in the conference room, Klinsmann smiled and asked, ¡°Audrich, what¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Aldridge''s serious expression made Klinsmann realize that what they were talking about was unusual.


    "For the future, Jurgen, do you have any plans?"


    Aldrich''s question made Klinsmann stunned for many years, and Klinsmann did not hide. He said frankly: "I don''t hide it. After the World Cup, I plan to resign. I want to go back to Germany to find opportunities. When I was the head coach, Millwall did not open a new contract for me. Maybe it was not time. However, even if the club signed a contract, I would refuse. Aldridge. I have been in Millwall these years. I am happy and learned a lot, especially from you, which has benefited me a lot. This will be a valuable asset for my future coaching."


    Aldridge nodded, not too surprised. When Benitez left after winning the Champions League at Millwall, this season he can also feel like Klinsmann, Jenson, the two assistants have already They don¡¯t want to continue to be assistant coaches. They also have a lot of club invitations, one step a year, and the temptation they get is greater every year. Being a coach is different.


    "Juergen, the Milwall coaching staff renewal, I pressed down, not that I have an opinion on your work, but I have other plans. My future plan is to leave the head coach after the World Cup this year. Position, club, national team, I don¡¯t plan to coach anymore, so I want to send you an invitation again, a new invitation, I hope you can come to coach Millwall, continue the glory of this club, I believe you have Ability to do this."


    After Klinsmann had listened to Aldridge''s words, the whole person was stunned and seemed to think he had heard it wrong.


    "You, what are you saying? Sorry, I don''t know if I heard it wrong, you say it again."


    Aldridge solemnly repeated what he had just said.


    Klinsmann was shocked: "God, you are only 26 years old, do you give up coaching now? Give up..."


    Klinsmann closed his mouth suddenly.


    Yes, Aldrich is only 26 years old, but he has received countless honors that his top coaches can never expect.


    Five top league champions, four UEFA Champions League, if you count the Winners'' Cup, it can be said to be five European championships.


    Eight years, the legendary epic eight years, even if Aldridge really retired, he also left his mark in an era, and it is the most shining.


    Aldridge smiled a little and said, "No, I haven''t completely retired at the moment. I just want to give up. I just want to make life easier and ease the urgency of the past eight years. Plus, you know, Burt and Earl, They are very lively now and are curious about the outside world. I hope to accompany them as a father because their mother is not around because, after ten years, I want to accompany them, maybe they will repel, we all have This kind of experience, I don¡¯t want to recall this time when I am old, just work work work, ignore the family."


    Klinsmann nodded and heard that he could understand Aldridge, especially the child. When the child really was a teenager, the child began to have a sense of independence. Instead, he gradually alienated his parents because they had their own space.


    Thinking of this, Klinsmann''s heart trembled slightly, excited, excited, unparalleled expectations.


    Millwall, the number one in contemporary Europe!


    The best team!


    If he succeeds Aldridge, the pressure is naturally huge, but the attention he has received in this position and the platform for his talents are also the top!


    Aldrich values ??Klinsmann three things. First, Klinsmann is familiar with the players. It is hard to say that he has the authority of Aldridge, but it can always be integrated into the team faster than outsiders. Big obstacle. Second, Klinsmann has passion. Unlike some academic heads who are always reticent, Millwall needs passion, and the style of this team also needs the passion of the head coach. Third, Klinsmann has a certain reputation, which has certain benefits for the club''s brand promotion and attention.


    Klinsmann''s excitement soon passed, and he bowed his head and said nothing.


    It must be prudent to take over new jobs, and be clear about many powers.


    Millwall is very special, especially when there is the existence of Aldridge. Even if Aldridge is not the head coach, he is still the owner of the club. Klinsmann will not be willing to be a puppet.


    He raised his head, his eyes shining brightly: "Aldrich, if we formally talk about this topic, we cannot avoid some sensitive issues."


    Aldridge put a smile on his face and nodded. "This is the way it should be. If you have any doubts or conditions, we can negotiate and reach agreement as much as possible."


    Klinsmann said seriously: "First of all, I want to know my power. My head coach, just a coach, can still have all the powers of Premier League managers."


    In many other countries, the head coach is the head coach, managing the team training, the game is the only job, and in the Premier League, most head coaches have great powers, including recruitment, player renewal, and even the construction of training bases. Team business promotion schedule and so on.


    Klinsmann¡¯s question is straightforward and normal. Basically, every coach who has landed in the Premier League will know these powers with the club. As for whether there is any violation of the agreement during the implementation process, or if the club¡¯s senior management has recovered the power, This varies from person to person.

 Chapter 808： The third generation, taking off in two years

    When he calmed down and started the formal conversation, Klinsmann''s mind had become sober.


    If there is a European coach, which head coach has the most power in the club, Aldrich must be ranked first because he is the boss, but after excluding him, Ferguson is ranked second.


    Ferguson has covered the sky at Manchester United, and everyone knows it.


    And Real Madrid, Barcelona, ??Milan duo, Juventus, Bayern, and other rich coaches, which power can be greater than Ferguson?


    No!


    Klinsmann wanted to gain power like Ferguson, absolutely unrealistic.


    First, the situation has been reversed.


    Klinsmann understands that Millwall threw an olive branch at him instead of climbing him high. On the contrary, he never officially coached the team, but at this point, he does not have much bargaining power. Derridge worked as a teaching assistant for several years, knew Millwall well and was familiar with everything here. I am afraid he would not appear in Millwall''s selection list.


    He can understand Aldrich¡¯s starting point: be stable!


    However, he will strive for power as much as possible, so that he has more room to play here.


    "Aldrich, first of all, if I become the head coach, the team''s competitive affairs, you can''t interfere, it will damage my authority and will make me unable to work."


    "I understand that I will give you two years. During these two years, I will not interfere in the team¡¯s competitive operation, but I also hope that we can reach a consensus. First of all, Millwall¡¯s youth training system cannot move. It''s the bottom line, there is no room for negotiation."


    "Of course, how can Millwall''s success be easily changed? But what do you say is the requirement for two years? If you wish me to take Millwall to the height of the past season, sorry, I certainly can''t do it , Even you, I am afraid it will be difficult to replicate the glory of last season."


    Aldridge nodded and said: "Milwall will enter a rebuilding cycle next, so the strength will decline significantly, the first year will be very difficult, as long as the record does not fall below the bottom line of the giants, it is enough. In 2010, Millwall must return to the top ranks in Europe and be in the top position. If you can¡¯t do it, sorry, we can only choose another virtue.¡±


    Klinsmann''s expression is heavy. In fact, he has already obtained some of the powers he wants most, that is, independent control of competitive affairs, training, competitions, tactics, main substitute arrangements, etc. As for other powers, it is placed in Millwall. Among the giants of the level, he wanted more, and he was not qualified to reach out for it. It can be said that Aldridge gave him enough power and enough time.


    In two years, the first year was restored and the younger generation officially took the lead. In the second year, it rose back to the top. The time was a bit hasty, but the richest, the most impatient! The most disgusting wait!


    When the teaching assistant made suggestions, it was Aldridge who decided to dominate the situation. When it was time for Klinsmann to make a decision, he was a little hesitant, especially for things that he knew were irreversible. , Trying to redeem.


    "Pirlo, do they really have to leave? Give them a top salary and can''t keep it?"


    Klinsmann''s tone was more complicated, and he was both sorry and looking forward to it.


    Aldrich shook his head and said, "Money is not the main reason. I can be honest with you. In fact, I think it is really time for them to leave. Some players can use Millwall as their home and fight for their entire career. For example, Nedved, Southgate, Larson, and some players can¡¯t do it. The team needs metabolism, and it needs to stifle the problem before the problem fully erupts. I felt this on the day of the Champions League final. A dangerous sign, I think that leaving Pirlo, Zambrotta, Gattuso, Materazzi might be counter-productive, which impedes the opportunity of our young players and forced the loss of our excellent players. At the same time, their athletic ambitions in Millwall are slowly decreasing. They want to go. At this time, I think that for them and Millwall, they are the best."


    Klinsmann nodded helplessly. When he was a player, he could better understand Aldridge''s words. When you don''t want to stay in a place, you will do whatever you want, and the fighting spirit will gradually decline. What''s more, it has become famous all over the world.


    "Then, their next home has been determined?"


    "Still talking, the problem is only in the transfer of Fira sawing, but they are gone, it is a foregone conclusion."


    "I''m sure I''ll leave in the summer. Who else besides the four of them?"


    "No, the team''s new round of renewal is in progress and is making good progress. Or, you can''t use a player who wants to let him leave. Say it. The club terminates the renewal negotiations and leases or sells it. I will consider."


    Klinsmann smiled bitterly: "Millwall did not have many first-team teams last season. Now he sells four, and the rest are all useful. Moreover, Nedved suffered a serious injury in the UEFA Champions League final. It takes six months to recover from the injury. , Don¡¯t sell, don¡¯t sell any more!"


    Aldrich said: "Then the first team team, roughly what I can be sure is, four people left, and at the same time, Ashley Cole, who returned on loan, can replace Zambrotta, Lampard can replace Pirlo, There is also Alonso in the same position, just the position after Gattuso left, either we introduce a high-level midfielder, or you can trust the return of De Rossi and Pedretti, Joe Cole, in Nedved offers one more option when he is out of play. The vacancies where Materazzi left, Metzelder, Balzali, Neil, if you think there are hidden dangers, after the World Cup, we can use the transfer market Reinforcement, I think there is no need to change the front line, Ronaldinho, Henry, Klose, Larson, Villa, our lineup is enough to deal with multi-line combat, and the young C Ronaldo. "


    "Well, the most important thing right now is the World Cup. Specifically, wait until the World Cup is over and talk again."


    "Oh, yes, you can decide for yourself in the coaching staff. I will talk to Jensen after the World Cup. He should not stay in Millwall again."


    Klinsmann was silent for a moment, then nodded.


    He and Jenson are considered to be under the ranks of Aldridge, and Jenson''s prestige in the team is higher than him. If he is the head coach, and Jenson still gives him a hand, let''s not say whether Jenson is willing, Klin Siman is not very willing to happen this way. Within the club, it is almost equivalent to the feudal system. The authority of the head coach is to cover everyone.


    Moreover, Jenson itself will not be willing.


    Aldridge''s remarks completely dispelled Klinsmann''s worries. Aldridge will not interfere with the team''s competitive operation, and will even help him pave the way.


    As he left the meeting room, Klinsmann was refreshed, and his eyes flickered sharply.


    The new season is a huge challenge for Millwall.


    It seems that the change will not be too big, but only four people have left, and there are people who can match up.


    But in fact, Millwall''s midfield and backcourt midfielder exchanged blood!


    Pirlo, Gattuso, Materazzi, coupled with super capable full-backs, this blood exchange is definitely a bit of a bone.


    Lampard and Ashley Cole have been on loan for a year and a half, and they have to have a break-in period with the team after returning, plus the two positions of the midfielder and defender. , Even if there is a strong aid, still have to overcome the hurdle of the synthetic type!


    Aldridge has been in charge of Millwall for 8 years and a big cycle of 4 years. The first generation of mad lions completed a skyrocketing from nothing, and the second 4 years from 1998, from the strong to the top of the giants. Column, and hit the extreme height last season, the ancient seven-time champion, three consecutive Champions League, four consecutive league titles.


    The law of football development cannot be avoided. When a large cycle ends, it is bound to enter the new generation of reconstruction. However, too many teams are reluctant to rebuild heartily even if they find problems after their glory. Only when the high-rise building became a ruin was it determined to rebuild, and it would be too difficult to rebuild the skyscraper above the ruins.


    Aldridge believes that he left Klinsmann¡¯s team with the ability to build a generation of crazy lions who were at the height of Millwall¡¯s heyday.


    Maybe not all positions have talents, but you can see Ronaldo, Kaka, Lampard, De Rossi, Klose, Alonso, Ashley Cole, etc. in the formation, There are Ronaldinho and Henry, who are still young but have become the mainstay players, plus Nedved, Schneider, Larson, Southgate and their experience.


    In two years, as long as there are no major problems, Millwall¡¯s return to the top of Europe is not an unreasonable and demanding requirement.


    Aldrich packed up the documents in front of him in the conference room, just got up and left, and the phone in his pocket shook again. He took a look and smiled.


    "Hi, old friend, is the negotiation finished?"


    "Aldrich, can''t it be cheaper anymore? The price is really high."


    "Alas, although we have a bad relationship with Juventus, the quotations they offer are very sincere."


    "Juventus is raising the price, it''s Mogi that disgusts you, you can''t let him succeed!"


    "Yeah, so I did not agree with Juventus'' offer."


    "..."


    Galliani is going crazy. AC Milan and Millwall start player transfer negotiations. This is no secret in Italy. At the same time, there are also negotiations between Inter Milan and Millwall. The venue is in Milan City, which is Milwaukee. Al sent to the negotiation team, after all, the Italian national team is training for the World Cup.


    Juventus jumped in the cross to raise the price, but they weren''t allowed to stop them halfway.


    Galliani gritted his teeth, both he and Moratti actually wanted to finalize the transfer before the World Cup. They worried that once the World Cup passed, in case Italy performed well in the World Cup, the player''s worth rose again. Negotiations are another price tag.


    Aldridge hung up the phone and stood in the hallway, gazing through the floor-to-ceiling windows into the distance. The scenery of East London is still the same, but some people will never come back. Even if they come back, they will change from friends to enemies...

 Chapter 809： To the world

    In the UK, more than 80% of women engaged in the **** industry come from abroad, and the number is over 10,000. A considerable number of them still have no legal status.


    In London, the Soho district is famous. There are some old buildings in the street, but it is full of provocative billboards. The locals pass by and they only know at a glance that this is the red light district.


    Some shop signs affixed with "Licened" next to the signboards indicate that they are legally operated and licensed, but the workers who really serve customers in the store do not know whether they are eligible for legal services.


    Opposite the street corner, there was a sturdy teenager wearing a jeans casual T-shirt and a cap on his head. He stared at the neon flashing shop opposite with his eyes down, looking down at his hand. The leaflet, the Eastern European girl wearing a bikini on the top, is **** and different from the women in England who are generally overly plump and have rough skin.


    He subconsciously licked his lips, touched the pocket of his jeans again, patted the slightly drummed place, and cheered himself up: Lao Tzu is rich!


    Just as he was about to walk across the street, another pocket phone rang, startling him, as if he was being raped, and returned to the narrow alley in a flash, picked up the phone and saw it Called by his teammates, he pressed the answer button impatiently.


    "Joe, what''s the matter?"


    "Wayne, where are you?"


    "Me? I''m in Soho, where you said last time, it looks pretty good."


    "My grass, where did you get the money?"


    "Oh, the team gave me a new contract, and a signing fee of 3,000 pounds, I deducted 1,000 to keep."


    "Hahaha, Wayne Rooney, you are a big pen! Don''t you know what happened? Soon, a lot of beautiful girls in London will rush to hook you up, are you actually going to fuck?"


    That''s right, this disguised young man who looks as ordinary as possible but does not look like a child is just another big star of the Millwall youth team last season: Wayne Rooney, Lu Xiaofan.


    "Joe Cole, the mud horse! What do you mean by speaking clearly?"


    "Don¡¯t blame me for not reminding you, now, immediately, immediately, go home!"


    beep¡­¡­


    Rooney is a grumpy man. He looks like a matador on and off the court. He almost smashed his phone.


    Joe Cole is a native of London. He has been fooling around here all year round, and his character is not a good bird. Like this flower street willow lane, Joe Cole has played in his early years, but now, he will definitely not come, because he makes money. To play with advanced ones, for example, he is pursuing the third edition of the girl. At least he feels that this is a senior, and he has a good reputation in the circle and can show off.


    As for Rooney, since he was a poor family, he just signed a new contract, which means he made a lot of money.


    Is it old enough? Enough is enough, 16 will reach adulthood, and half a year, he will be 17.


    No girlfriend?


    Yes, I met Colleen at the age of 12, and fell in love at the age of 15, and the two lovers did not guess. The love is as beautiful as a fairy tale. Even if he is red and purple in the future, he still will not abandon Colin. The good news is that the golden boy and girl, who were originally crystal-like, have been accompanied by scandals of Lu Xiaopeng stealing fish and mixing with prostitutes.


    Men are all a virtue.


    Lu Xiaofan is no exception. He talked to Colleen about the feelings of the month before. When he came to such a place to have fun, he just spent money on it.


    Rooney wasn¡¯t sure whether Joe Cole was playing him or not. He¡¯d come a few steps away, and he could enjoy it a few steps away. At this time, he turned his head home, fearing it would be difficult for ten cows to pull him go back.


    Just determined to take firm steps, the phone rang again.


    Rooney picked it up this time, and his heart was cold.


    "Joe Cole, wouldn''t you be so wicked?"


    The caller ID is his girlfriend Colleen.


    Wayne Rooney thought it might be Joe Cole who reported to Colleen, stabbing himself out of the dashing and cheerful things.


    For some reason, Rooney thought that Joe Colegan could come out of this kind of nonsense!


    "Hi Wayne, where are you?"


    "I...eh?"


    Rooney was a little worried when she heard Colleen''s voice, but she was stunned when she heard her tone full of surprises.


    Damn, if she knew that I was going to be prostitute, would she be so happy?


    Before Rooney finished speaking, Colleen''s voice was heard on the phone again, and he shouted in excitement.


    "Wayne! You are going to the World Cup! You are going to the World Cup! The England national team has just announced the World Cup roster, with your name! Wayne! Wayne! You talk, where are you?"


    Rooney was completely shocked.


    For a long time, Rooney eased his shock and asked the phone: "Aren''t you kidding me? I haven''t even played a professional game. I''m going to the World Cup? Why am I going to the World Cup? Who will allow me to go to the World Cup?"


    Wayne Rooney has never played a formal professional game, so he thinks that 80% of this is a fake. It¡¯s Joe Cole who is fooling Colleen.


    "You are stupid! Who is the coach of the England national team? Isn''t it your boss? He can decide whether you can go to the World Cup. What do you do so much? Now that it has been announced, you can definitely go to the World Cup! On the way to your house, wow, your house is full of reporters, come back soon, you are going to be famous!"


    Rooney hung up on the phone and leaned his back against the wall, saying to himself: "I''m going to the World Cup? Ha ha, I''m going to the World Cup? Ha ha ha..."


    When he really accepted the news, he planned to roar to the sky and tell the world that he was going to the World Cup!


    "I want... eh!"


    But as soon as he raised his head and yelled out, he quickly covered his mouth again and looked around. He realized that this is a red light district. If it is recorded here, it is estimated that he will become more famous in the future!


    After he lowered his voice, he still couldn''t control his excitement. He lowered his head and walked forward, whispered to himself: "World Cup, I''m going to the World Cup."


    After two steps, he stopped again, turned around, and hurried away from the opposite direction.


    Is it going to the pros, or the World Cup?


    Rooney almost went straight into a shop anyway.


    That''s why Aldridge would rather give up all the backup strikers and bring a star of hope that the Three Lions can hope for in the future, Wayne Rooney.


    If Aldridge knows what Rooney intends to do at this moment, maybe he will dismiss the idea of ??taking Rooney to Asia. Even if the registration cannot be changed, he would rather leave him alone in London.


    But Aldridge did not know, if he knew, he would not be surprised by the scandal that broke out in England 20 days later.


    Lu Xiaofan, go to the prostitute, or the World Cup? Can''t help him.


    Go to the World Cup, the best of both worlds!


    ...


    The announcement of the England national team''s roster caused a stir.


    "Wayne Rooney, who is this?"


    "Hall is gambling!"


    "Rooney, 0 appearances, 0 goals, 0 performance, what can he become England?"


    ...


    The hype on Fleet Street is actually very strange in theory.


    The contributors who wrote those shocking titles actually knew in their hearts: Rooney is an out-and-out, just go to the World Cup and be a tourist, no one will care about him.


    But in order to hype, it must be sensational, gain eyeballs, and raise the importance of Rooney to an unrealistic position. In other words, if it is not Rooney, it is Sheringham, there will be almost no topic detonation, and people will not expect Sheringham became the savior or hero of England, he was a substitute, a character who could not be pushed by Owen.


    When it comes to Rooney, it seems that Rooney has become a secret weapon and has become the master of the fate of the World Cup in England.


    When the topic is hyped, the outside world will have doubts. Aldrich is not fooled. The more it is explained, the darker the description, the easier it is to be targeted and the Fleet Street will succeed.


    I brought him, how?


    Use power for personal gain? Conspiracy, how?


    Gambling with the national team? Bet, how?


    He is the coach of the national team. Anyway, his contract expires after the World Cup. Rooney will definitely be a controversial topic, but in a few years, when Rooney picks the beam, Fleet Street has to go back and give Aldrich a tribute. , Saying that he was wise and sensible, and he dug Rooney early and promoted Rooney.


    Even though Rooney is actually not brilliant in the national team, the key is that England''s future talent is too scary. Which local striker can match Rooney?


    Rooney packed his luggage and happily ran to the national team to report. Fortunately, Millwall had a lot of schedules this season. The club was on holiday late. He had just rested for a few days. His physical condition could come back after only a few days of training. Otherwise, this kid You can really beat soy sauce completely.


    With 3 days left for England to enter the World Cup, Beckham recovered from training, and his physical condition has reached the standard. He has a new fan here. Lu Xiaofan unabashed his envy of Beckham, often training In addition to chat with Beckham.


    The England national team photographed two sets of family portraits before the expedition. One set was a group photo of players wearing the national team jerseys on the green field, and the other was a group photo of all their suits and leather suits ready to board the plane.


    When it was time for the departure, the Fleet Street turned around and cheered for the England national team in a unified position, sending a blessing. The sales of the family portraits of the two national teams headed by Aldridge were hot.


    "In the era of Aldrich Hall, the Three Lions officially took the first step to conquer the world!"


    The list of England to participate in the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup is as follows.


    Goalkeepers: Seaman, James, Robinson.


    Defenders: Phil Neville, Mills, Ferdinand, Southgate, Campbell, Terry, Ashley Cole, Bridge.


    Midfielders: Bart, Hargreaves, Beckham, Keelung Dyer, Lampard, Carrick, Scholes, Joe Cole, McManaman.


    Forwards: Irving, Alan Smith, Wayne Rooney.


    A total of 23 people.

 Chapter 810： Wash away the dark blue, see you again

    The bells of the World Cup countdown are ringing every second, and the four-year global football feast is about to be opened in anticipation.


    On the eve of this, Europe and Milan, Italy, took the lead in detonating a wave of passion among Italian fans.


    The sun is shining and there are crowds of people outside the airport lobby. Fans hold a variety of slogans. The words that appear most are: Welcome home!


    When a group of people walked out of the airport, cheers burst out louder and louder and louder!


    In the security of the airport, inside the guard of the private bodyguard, a group of people walked out slowly.


    Before the Italian national team went to Asia, Pirlo, Gattuso, Materazzi and Zambrotta took leave for half a day to leave the national team training base and turned to Milan.


    The four are dressed casually and smartly, even Gattuso, and they have the charm of an alternative iron man. The men''s suits and shoes walking next to the four are Aldridge''s brother Andrew. Behind them, there is Millwall Club negotiating team, and Andrew''s agent team.


    When the four people walked out, cheers came and went.


    The fans who came here to greet them were divided into two groups. The fans of the Milan duo, they clearly welcomed their new aid.


    In front of everyone cheered, people worshiped, so that the four people were filled with emotion.


    When I thought of leaving Italy and going to England, they were obscured. They didn¡¯t pay attention to them. They seemed to be labelled by the Italian media as the death penalty, and their careers were no longer promising, because they left Italy, left European football, world football. Peak stage!


    However, seven or eight years later, they returned here as if they were saviors. They were about to join two of Italy''s traditional three giants and were expected to return Italian football to the top of Europe!


    The welcome team sent by AC Milan and Inter Milan has already parked the car outside, opened the door, and waited for the star to sign in.


    The four stars who were cheered by the crowd stopped in front of the car, turned around and looked at each other. The slightly empty deserted airport hall seemed to be a phantom figure.


    The eyes of the four people were faint, and it seemed that they saw a person with a tall and magnificent shore staring at them away. That was the "head" they called for seven or eight years.


    There was no farewell between them, and they did not even meet after the Champions League final. Only Andrew sent a letter to them in Italy.


    The contents of the letters of the four people are the same, a beautiful photo, which is a group photo of the Millwall team and the coach after the Champions League final. They smile innocently, and each player with a medal on his neck tries to distance himself from Audrey Qi was closer, surrounded by him. Behind the photo, there was a handwritten word.


    treasure!


    Aldridge didn''t try to keep them anymore, didn''t make sense with emotion, let go freely, didn''t make the tumultuous transfer into a soap opera that everyone hated.


    This makes the relationship between the four and Millwall and Aldridge more special and transcendent.


    Italy''s arrogant son, returned to the motherland, back to the arms of his hometown fans, back to the land where they are more familiar and free, but they know that in this life, there is a brand in their hearts that has become sacred.


    Before the separation, Gattuso Pirlo, the two turned around, Materazimbrotta, the two also turned around, the four hugged each other.


    "Goodbye."


    Materazzi said first.


    "Are you sure? I think it''s better not to meet again outside the national team."


    Pirlo smiled.


    Zambrotta said: "You are afraid."


    Pirlo dragged Gattuso and said, "With him, what am I afraid of?"


    Gattuso shrugged and said, "He''s mixed with me, I can bully him, you can''t."


    Materazzi turned into the car, leaving a word.


    "You just need to pack up first."


    Pirlo and Gattuso bowed their heads and smiled, and they also turned into the car.


    Four people dialed two and left by car.


    All four of them knew clearly that the club career turned upside down today.


    Washing away the sacred navy in their eyes, Gattuso and Pirlo walked into the red and black, the foothold was called San Siro, Zambrotta and Matera wrapped in blue and black, and the stage under the sky was called Meazza .


    Although it is the same battlefield, if the four meet again, no longer a brother fighting side by side, no longer a comrade-in-arms, it is bound to meet the swordsmen and fight against the Milan Derby!


    The crowd outside the airport dispersed. Not only did the fans chase all the way, but the streets also had media helicopter reports.


    "It is less than a week before the opening of the World Cup, but at this time, the two giants of Milan City, AC Milan and Inter Milan will announce the signing of a heavy contract. We live report on the four stars who have played Millwall for more than 5 years. , Materazzi, Zambrotta will go to the Inter Milan Club for medical examinations, Pirlo and Gattuso will go to the AC Milan Club for medical examinations, and the transfer will go to this step, indicating that the two clubs and Premier League giant Millwall The transfer negotiations have reached an agreement. I believe that the transfer fees of the four players will be astronomical. Perhaps the madness of the transfer market last summer will continue this summer, and it will be the Italian transfer market that is still storming. It will still be Italy!"


    The physical examination process of the four players was partially opened by the two clubs at the same time, and Italian fans quickly saw photos of their bodybuilding muscles and smiling thumbs up during the physical examination.


    Half a day later, Inter Milan took the lead in announcing the transfer of heavy news.


    "Matrazzi and Zambrotta join Inter Milan and the transfer fee is ¡ê60 million!"


    AC Milan announced the result of the transfer signing.


    "Pirlo and Gattuso joined AC Milan with a transfer fee of ¡ê70 million!"


    Fans in the city of Milan cheered, Inter Milan reinforced the defense, AC Milan has the first European midfielder combination.


    In London, Millwall officially confirmed the transfer of the four players later, and published an open letter to the fans after the four parted on the official website.


    The crazy lion fans had a shocking day.


    The news of the transfer market was buoyant before, and they were reluctant to write letters, because in the past many years, these news will appear every time during the transfer, but not once has become a reality, but this time, not only rumors come true, but also directly Four main players leave on the same day!


    In this scene, like the summer of 1998, the main force of Millwall''s half team was divided by European powerhouses!


    After the fans were shocked, they accepted the reality calmly. Most of the fans were grateful for the four people who had contributed to Millwall in the past. I wish them a smooth sailing after returning to Italy. The fans are not too worried about the future because they have Aldridge!


    "The new season has not yet arrived, Millwall first pocketed 130 million pounds!"


    Millwall''s ability to make money is too ruthless!


    The cost of these four players coming to the team at that year is almost zero. It is understandable that which team does not pay the players?


    Therefore, it can be said that Millwall made a net profit of 130 million pounds!


    This is also in line with the impression given by Millwall to the outside world, it is simply a model of the club that combines sports and management in the world today!


    It was also Aldridge¡¯s idea to finalize the transfer of the players before the World Cup, and when the transfer was announced, the team was still flying to Japan. In this way, he avoided the harassment of Fleet Street when the plane landed At that time, he has completely entered the role of national team coach, and will no longer respond to any questions about the club.


    On the other hand, it also minimizes the negative public opinion impact of the four-member general leaving the team. Immediately to the World Cup, the eyes of the world will focus on South Korea and Japan. Fleet Street will not speculate on the transfer news of Millwall, giving the fans a buffer. Space, after the World Cup is over, the news of the four-person transfer has long been outdated, and everyone accepts it.


    The England national team went directly to Japan on this trip, because all their games will be played in Japan. According to the situation after the grouping, the group stage is all in the Japanese division. Even if it enters the knockout stage, the future games will also be played in Japan.


    An hour before the plane arrived in Japan, the atmosphere on the plane was not as warm as it was when the expedition.


    The flight time from London to Japan is a bit gruesome. Everyone still has a jet lag. The body cannot be said to be uncomfortable, but it will eventually be uncomfortable.


    The players are busy with their own affairs on the plane, some people listen to music, some people read books, and some people whisper chat.


    Papa!


    Aldridge clapped his hands in the aisle of the plane, attracting the players'' attention.


    Joe Cole shoved Rooney who was still snoring. Rooney opened his eyes and rubbed, saw Aldridge facing everyone in the aisle, so he cheered up and stood tall.


    Aldridge''s expression was serious, and he looked around all players and then said in a deep voice: "When the plane landed and we got off the plane, our World Cup journey officially began!"


    The players stopped the other movements and listened attentively, then their eyes became firm involuntarily.


    Aldridge continued: "When we set off, there were voices outside the world that set goals for us, and some people gave us pressure relief, saying that we are young and do our best. But I want to tell you that when we set foot on Japan After the land, when we really walked onto the stage of the World Cup, our goal is only one: to win the championship!"


    Win the championship!


    Aldrich said the floor was slamming, the players were breathless, and some people showed incredible colors.


    They dare not think, they can''t believe it, the coach in front of them would actually say such things.


    Aldridge looked at Owen and said with a deep voice: "Without the goal of winning the championship, we cannot go to the Hercules Cup!"


    Irving couldn''t help nodding.


    Aldridge looked at Beckham again and said, "Without the conviction to win the championship, we can''t explode beyond our level of fighting power!"


    Beckham nodded firmly, the ray of victory in his eyes grew stronger.


    Aldrich opened his hands and said, "Our goal is to be a champion. This is something you should keep in mind at all times! Why? If you don¡¯t step on that stage with firm conviction, you might give up halfway, just I will tell myself: Enough is enough, I can perform well, I can explain to the fans, the top eight, the top four, for me at this age, it may already be a great achievement! Wrong, wrong, wrong! What Is it hard to go further? What is the goal of reaching the top 8 even if the goal is reached? What is it that we are still young and a temper? F! Yes, we are young, yes, we are not optimistic, yes. But, why can¡¯t we be the champion? Why can¡¯t we? Why? I tell you all, can we be! Hard? Hard! But just win In the next 7 games, we are the **** world champion! If you have such ambitions, such desire to conquer, and possessive desire to hold the hands of the Hercules Cup tightly! We are crawling, we are kneeling, we are With a broken head and a broken leg, we can also reach the top of the world!"


    The players on the scene were thoroughly engulfed, and the youngest Rooney stood up and clenched his fists and shouted: "I want the World Cup!"


    The other players also got up and nodded slightly to each other with a slight expression.


    At this moment, they swept away all their different ideas about the World Cup and firmly told themselves: Champion! Go for the championship! If you are not the champion, why not go!


    The most infected among them was Terry. He also stood up and shouted. It¡¯s hard not to be affected by the atmosphere here. He can feel that he is closer to all his teammates because everyone has the same goal. As if Aldrich''s three words made everyone condense from different parts into a whole that is difficult to split.


    And this is a kind of ability and courage that he can''t feel in Ranieri. Ranieri is a good coach in his heart, but in terms of ability, Aldridge''s impact is more profound and more profound. Shock effect.


    You can''t help but sell his life for him, fight for him, listen to his command, accept all his arrangements, Aldridge is like a mad missionary, has a magic power that is tempting, and this is what a powerful team needs!

 Chapter 811： Xiaoxiong gathered! The horn of war sounded!

    Aldridge needs to set a morale tone for the team¡¯s World Cup expedition. It will not work early, and it will not work late. This morale will be easily worn away early. Too late to be too hasty will make the players nervous.


    He chose to unify the whole team''s thinking on the plane before the plane arrived in Japan, instilling them with a firm belief in the World Cup.


    Maybe some people really want the World Cup, such as Southgate, Beckham, Irving, McManaman.


    But there must also be people who have the idea of ??not seeking merit but seeking success, such as young players, who are afraid of becoming sinners and only want a decent achievement and performance, and then they have the next World Cup, the next World Cup Can be used as a target for impact.


    Aldridge must let them cut off their thoughts.


    When the atmosphere in the cabin became hot, Aldridge pressed his hands down, the players closed their mouths, and focused their eyes on Aldridge again.


    "We have goals and beliefs, but this is not enough. To achieve the goals, we need to unite, we need everyone to put the collective and the team''s interests first! Victory belongs to all of us, and failure also belongs to All of us! Don¡¯t think you are more important than anyone, and don¡¯t think you are more important than anyone! The importance of everyone is the same, even if you sit on the bench, but you are also an integral part of this team! Putting the interests of the team first, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we will trust each other, help each other, solve problems together, and face difficulties!"


    "More communication, more exchanges, more inclusive teammates, and more collective considerations. This time, the World Cup will be as short as half a month and as long as one month. We will play at least 3 games and at most 7 games. During this period, I hope you can do all of the above. I know that you have family members and friends who will come to Japan to cheer for us. I don¡¯t restrict you from meeting or reunion with your family. In the first place, we are ready to fight, we are not here on vacation, you are not just fighting for yourself, but for this team, for England, for all the fans who support you in England, if you can¡¯t do it, then, You will damage the interests of the team and become the enemy of all of us, because we are working towards the highest honor, and if someone is behind, they must be abandoned!"


    Aldridge said at the end, his expression had become a bit cold.


    This is a warning.


    The players can also accept, the club has not been short of time, understand this "military regulations" must be observed.


    And Aldridge did not do very well. He would not transform the training camp into a military camp and restrict their activities. They just needed their own consciousness. Don¡¯t really relax as a tourist.


    Obviously, if you intend to let a team play for a month and the spirit is completely tense, this will definitely be unfavorable to the player''s state, relaxed and gentle, and the combination of work and rest is Aldrich''s management concept. Only the player is physically and mentally relaxed and has a certain sense of pleasure Only then can a better state erupt. Football is not essentially a bayonet fight. To play a good state, you must first relax, not tense.


    These are also due to the influence of the double-edged sword brought by the wife of England.


    The wife group is not only available in the England national team, but the Fleet Street media has too much influence and super hype, so these flowery "girl soldiers" will become a hot topic.


    But in turn, the players of other national teams, they have no relatives, no wife, girlfriend came to the scene to cheer them on?


    Of course there is!


    With the attention of family members and the blessings of friends and family, this will stimulate the players'' will to win. This is a good thing.


    The downside is that it is easy to be distracted, or forget to relax too much, so this requires players to master themselves.


    Aldridge felt relieved for seeing the players respond well.


    However, he ignored a person.


    Lu Xiaofan!


    Other players have been baptized in the professional field of the club. Regardless of the off-site character, at least the emphasis on discipline is still very profound. However, Lu Xiaofan has not played in a professional game. In the youth team and the first team, the management mode is also Not exactly the same, his state of mind is like winning a prize, and his age is most likely to be distracted, affected by the atmosphere, and not very self-control.


    His girlfriend Colleen did not come to Japan, and his family would watch television in London to see the moment he put on the England national team jersey.


    And he himself did not have much expectations.


    On the plane, assistant coach Jensen, who was well respected in the club, sat next to him and told him why he was recruited into the national team.


    It was to let him feel the atmosphere of the competition and to open his eyes to insight.


    This is naturally Aldrich¡¯s idea. He remembers Rooney¡¯s temper, and the characteristics of the difficulty of controlling emotions in the competition when he really picks the big beams in the future. He feels that letting Rooney undergo baptism early can help him grow, for his future in the club or the country. Teams are good, which means that the skills are not well trained, but at least accumulate experience.


    Looking at Japan outside the window, this strange country, strange city, strange crowd, Rooney suddenly lost his eyes.


    World Cup, World Cup, what is it?


    When the plane landed, the English team who rearranged their appearance in the cabin was led by Airdridge to Japan!


    The media from all over the world, who have already gathered their hands in Japan, have reported on the grand occasion of the arrival of England.


    The world¡¯s most famous young coach Audridge, the world¡¯s football coach, has officially brought the Three Lions with his two years of training to the World Cup!


    At the same time, heroes from all over the world have successively arrived in South Korea or Japan. The battle of the World Cup has been slowly opened under the eyes of every fan!


    The defending champion France team, although the core Zidane was accidentally injured during the warm-up game, but the French team with Vieira, Lizarazu, Thuram, Henry, Trezeguet and other stars still sits in the championship. Under the leadership of head coach Lemer, he has already arrived in Seoul, South Korea, and is ready to ignite the passion of the Korea-Japan World Cup on the 31st!


    Spain, the king of the qualifiers, led by coach Camacho to South Korea, Raul, Hierro, Puyol, Casillas, maybe this is not a Spain with most superstars or at its peak, but only look at Their decay offensive firepower in the qualifiers, no one can ignore the matador''s ambitions for the World Cup!


    Oliveira flew to South Korea with the Portuguese golden generation headed by Figo. Figo and Rui Costa in the golden years. After four years, they may also be powerless. The Portuguese golden generation will hit the world champion. Opportunity, and finally, the most suitable time for them, is this summer!


    Waller led the unsuccessful German team to Japan. Lion King Kahn led the talent team. The German team that was obviously affected by a large number of injuries and was not optimistic. The Millwall teenager Metzelder was blessed by the disaster. The defender The successive losses made Waller have to be transferred to Metzelder and have a heavy responsibility. The only thing that can make the outside world look forward to Germany is Klose, Barak, Schneider, Metzelder, these Players with the blood of the King Millwall may be able to support half of the German national team!


    Among the European teams, Italy, which has the highest voice to win the championship, was led to Japan by coach Trapattoni. Vieri, Totti, Pirlo, Gattuso, Tomasi, Zambrotta, and later There are also Maldini, Nesta, Cannavaro, Panucci...they also have the most expensive goalkeeper in the world: Buffon! The strong lineup of Italian soldiers is strong, and the voice of winning the championship is the most in Europe!


    The savior-like Scolari took his newly created 343 Brazil team to South Korea, only on the front line, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, the horror 3R combination boarded the world stage, the front line configuration champions! With the help of Cafu, Carlos on the side, Samba Corps swept the stumbling haze of the qualifiers, and the sword refers to the Cup of Hercules!


    A more sad liquid than the heavy rain in Perugia, could it be better to recover from the sad tears of Ronaldo in Rome, he did not lead Inter Milan to a victory in the Serie A finals, Silver Fox Lippi At the end of the laugh, the league champions waiting for Inter Milan were only 90 minutes away from a victory, but they were attacked by Lazio at the last minute.


    Ronaldinho helped the team get the ancient seven-time champion in Millwall, plus four consecutive league championships, three consecutive Champions League championships, compared with the serious injury of aliens who came back and drank Apennine, and the lack of honor in Barcelona. In Rivaldo, Ronaldinho became the biggest star when Brazil went to the World Cup. Brazilian fans look forward to Ronaldinho''s ability to lead the 3R attack group to the top of the world, and then put the crown of the ball king on his head!


    In the South American qualifiers, Argentina, who was proud and arrogant, arrived in Japan under the leadership of the lunatic Bielsa. The "Pampas eagle" trained by Bielsa was aspirational. Before the World Cup, he said: "Failing to win the World Cup is Argentina''s failure! "


    Belsa, who is a master under the hood, is full of confidence, the **** of war Batie is not old, the little donkey Ortega, the little flea Lopez, the wizard Belon, Tiehan Simone, Crespo, Zanetti, Aimar... also There is a son of wind who is no longer chasing after sitting on the bench.


    As of the 2002 World Cup, no team from Asia and Africa has ever made it to the semi-finals of the World Cup, which has given Europe and South America incredible pride and complacency.


    But would teams from other continents be willing to accompany the prince to study?


    Cameroon, Senegal, South Africa, Nigeria, African cheetahs, tigers, eagles, why didn''t you want to kill the Quartet in the World Cup? Bring pride to their motherland!


    The host Taiji Tiger, An Zhenhuan, Xue Qixuan, Li Yunzai, Hong Mingpu, Li Rongduo...and the future Asian king Pu Zhixing, the new and old Korean team awaits the arrival of the world''s strong teams, the whole nation is holding a ball and shouting hope Hiddink Lead the Tai Chi Tiger to the top 16!


    Another host, Japan, is known as the strongest in Asia under Troussier! Two years ago in the Asian Cup, Japan¡¯s golden generation conquered Asia with a devastating offensive firepower. Nakata, as Japan¡¯s first person to land in the top five European leagues, Japanese football wanted to borrow the Dongfeng of the World Cup to establish their new football position in the World Cup!


    The world-famous World Cup kicked off. Teams from five continents represent various countries, different races, different skin colors, different beliefs, and common pursuit!


    world Cup!


    As the wind raged, the heroes gathered.


    There is a sport called football, there is a game called the World Cup, every four years after the reincarnation, the green heroes on the field will gather together, staged after another peak matchup, 32 teams, and finally stand The team on this stage can take away a Hercules Cup, which symbolizes the strongest in the world and the highest honor of green shade!


    In the summer of 2002, the battle of the World Cup was ignited in the east of the world. The winner will continue to walk, and the loser will bleed blood. Eventually, the sky and the earth will be stained red!

 Chapter 812： Subversion and pattern

    The England national team is stationed in a well-established training base in Tokyo, Japan. In theory, they can participate in all the games. Except for a 3/4 finals in South Korea, all other games, group games, after promotion The knockout games will be conducted in the Japanese division, so I chose to prepare for the battle in Tokyo.


    Although the games are all played on different stadiums in different cities, it is obviously impossible to change one place with one shot and change the city back and forth. Firstly, it will cause players to travel hard and adapt to the new environment every day. Secondly, Japan itself is not big. The game is in Saitama against Sweden, from Tokyo to Saitama, but only half an hour''s drive, and they will be helped by the World Cup Organizing Committee, this time will be shortened.


    Japanese football In the past few years, when Aldridge led Millwall to the Toyota Cup, he had a brief exchange with the senior officials of the Japanese Football Association. At that time, Japanese football began to flourish. The golden generation represented by Tosuke Nakamura is no accident.


    To develop football, the infrastructure must be kept up. The English national team chose to stay in the training camp this time, but the training venue is borrowed from the training base of the local Japanese football club. The facilities are quite complete, and other aspects will also be Handed over by the team of the England national team.


    Three meals a day, the national team is responsible for the bathing facilities of the players training recovery, the national team greeted the hotel in advance.


    One day before the opening of the World Cup, England was already familiar with the environment at the training base, the players adjusted the jet lag, and the training was on the right track.


    Outside the training base, Fleet Street reporters were the most observed, and then there were South American reporters, with Argentina the most.


    This is to probe the enemy!


    Aldrich is unprecedentedly serious, meticulous in training, but a bit mean. He spends more time observing and carefully examining the status of players.


    The English national team''s record in the warm-up before the World Cup was bad, for innate reasons.


    The team is incomplete!


    Scholes, Beckham did not play, even Owen, was also placed on the bench by Aldridge to rest, these three, if it is important, without Scholes the most influential, followed by Owen, the last is Beckham, while the three are absent at the same time, it is conceivable that if the England warm-up match can be played beautifully, then hell!


    To be precise, Aldridge took over the national team in a year and a half, not much, much.


    At this stage, he will no longer instill tactical ideas in the players. This job was started in the past year and a half and should be done well!


    At this time, to talk about any tactics, then this team has no hope. You are not going to play the league. You can adjust after losing one or two games. You need to steadily play what you are good at and get used to from the beginning.


    But at the end of this day''s training, Aldridge looked frowning.


    Jenson saw it and asked curiously, "What are you worried about?"


    "Scholes."


    "He? He looks fine."


    "The reaction he gave me caused me some worry."


    "What reaction?"


    Aldridge sat at the table and lifted his head lightly: "I told him that we need to observe the rhythm of the game on the court, grasp the rhythm difference that is invisible to the naked eye, and cooperate with our counterattack to maximize the power of the attack. .. Then, he just nodded, nodded quite normally."


    Jenson was surprised for a moment, and immediately smiled: "You are too nervous. In the past year and a half, he was like this. What you said to him, he nodded when he understood, and he didn''t ask much. On the contrary, If he doesn''t understand, he will have other reactions."


    Aldridge''s eyes rolled, and it seemed to be the case.


    Ah¡­¡­


    Turns out I was nervous? !


    Back in the hotel room in the evening, most of the players stayed in their rooms, either making phone calls with their families or reading news in the room to learn about other World Cup teams. They will usher in the first World Cup in three days The show, all players are calmly waiting for the game to come. Probably, there is only one exception. Lu Xiaofan, he is lying in bed after finishing a phone call with Colin and his family in the room. Fading away, looking at the unfamiliar world outside the window, he wanted to go out and see the cultural features of the Eastern Kingdom, but Joe Cole, who was in the same room, was reluctant to accompany him. Joe Cole¡¯s mentality was very different from Rooney, he looked forward to In the game, I hope he can debut, and Rooney, he feels that his chances of playing the game are very small.


    Aldrich leaned on the bed, he was in a separate room, holding a laptop to video chat with his family who also came to the East.


    "Hi, Dad, am I cool?"


    Looking at the video footage of Earl wearing a toad mirror and wearing an England jersey, Aldridge nodded with a smile and said, "Well, it''s cool! Do you have my share?"


    "Yes! Look."


    Earl picked up a brand new pair of sunglasses and shook it in front of the camera. The Burt next to him was not dressed up to be different. The two brothers had opposite characters. Earl was lively and active. Burt sometimes made people feel dull. Aldridge would That is understood as quiet.


    The two sons came to see the World Cup under the leadership of grandparents, but did not come to Japan. They first went to South Korea first, planning to watch the opening game played by the defending champion France tomorrow.


    After Aldridge talked to them, he picked up his phone and called Ivan, who was far away in London.


    At 11 o''clock in the evening, Aldridge fell asleep.


    The following day, Seoul, South Korea, the opening ceremony of the World Cup was grandly held, after which the defending champion France team debuted, against the same group of opponents Senegal.


    Zidane did not play due to injury. Senegal, who is very strange to the world, has played in the World Cup for the first time.


    With the goal of Diop, the new African team scored a small victory over the losing French defending champion!


    The 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup kicked off with a subversive opening from the first day of the opening ceremony.


    The last World Cup champion, plus the new team European Cup champion France team encountered Waterloo, after a night, the World Cup fever really began to heat up.


    People are hotly discussing the impact of Zidane''s absence, discussing the French team''s way out, and re-evaluating the strength of the new African army.


    With the French team''s first show after the shocking upset, England''s players are more serious in preparing for the battle, as if others have learned from the past, sounded the alarm for them, treat the World Cup, really can not have the slightest intention and underestimate the enemy.


    On the day of Children''s Day, the second match day of the World Cup is coming, and Audridge attended the pre-World Cup press conference for the first time.


    He swept away the breezy expression of the past and put on a serious expression.


    The scene brought together media reporters from all over the world, regardless of whether England is underestimated by the outside world, but at least they have the most famous coaches and players, Aldridge and Beckham.


    Unsurprisingly, there were still many reporters on the scene inquiring about the transfer of Millwall¡¯s four Italian stars. He ignored them. He waited until the reporters were angry, saying: "I am now an English country. The coach of the team, I only answer topics related to the England team."


    On Fleet Street, there are also some mainstream European journalists who are not surprised. Most of those who ask for nothing are mostly journalists who do not understand the style of Aldridge.


    "What is the goal of the England team to participate in this World Cup? The British media said that the FA''s internal demands on you are to reach at least the quarterfinals. Is this true?"


    Aldrich said in a deep voice: "We come to the World Cup with only one goal to achieve our dreams. If we can''t achieve our dreams, we will fall into the quarterfinals, quarterfinals, and even the finals. What''s the difference? Except for the champions, the rest are meaningless."


    "Huh? Does the England team want to win?"


    An Asian reporter was clearly taunted.


    Many other reporters also felt that Aldridge was too full of words.


    Aldridge looked at the Asian reporter and asked, "Are you Korean? Japanese?"


    "I am Korean!"


    "Okay, Mr. Reporter from South Korea, then I ask you, what is the goal of South Korea to participate in the World Cup?"


    "Ranked into the top 16."


    "Well, this is your goal? Realistic and very utilitarian. But what if you reach the top 16?"


    "Of course, try to enter the top 8!"


    "Well, it''s still very realistic. Take a step by step, this is South Korea''s plan. But not the England team, we want to go to the end, work hard to the end, from the very beginning, our eyes turned to Yokohama after 30 days. In that final, if we failed halfway, it doesn¡¯t matter. If we come back four years later, we will still aim to reach the end and fight forever until we reach the goal of going there."


    The reporter on Fleet Street nodded frequently, and the South Korean reporter suddenly realized that Aldridge¡¯s words were not ironic, but they reflected the difference in the football pattern between England and South Korea. This did not mean any ridicule, but just spoke of reality.


    Maybe England does not have a champion, but England has always had championship dreams and ambitions, but a country with a backward football level has no such ambitions and dreams, and even the courage to dream! Can only watch step by step.


    For example, the Chinese team¡¯s expedition to the World Cup in Korea and Japan is also the best plan to advance to the top 16 with Brazil. If they can make it to the top 16, they can be called the most brilliant in history. Compared to the "failure", the Chinese team will get the runner-up than the mainstream powers, and the semi-finals will be a victory!


    What is the championship appearance? It won''t appear out of thin air.


    The French team has a championship appearance because they were champions four years ago and European champions two years ago.


    Spain and Argentina have champions, just look at their crazy performances in the qualifiers to know why.


    Italy has champions, and the heaviest lineup is the bottom line.


    Even the German team, which is slacking in the west, and the Brazilian team that stumbled out of the qualifiers, will have more championship appearances than England. The former is the foundation, the latter is the talent.


    What is there in England?


    Has Beckham? Have Irving? Have Aldridge?


    This is not enough for the outside world to include this team in the top five of the championship hotspot, especially if they are divided into the death group!


    But even so, the dream of England¡¯s championship cannot be lost, and the pursuit cannot be reduced because there is no champion. This retrogression of ambition will have a huge impact on the national team of an era, unless, really, it is necessary for a high-rise building to become a ruin. Brick and tile rebuilding.


    Aldridge made a serious statement and won the appreciation of Fleet Street. In their eyes, Aldridge was the best coach of the Three Lions.


    They will not be too harsh on him, and even if he brings a 16-year-old Rooney wasting places, they still tolerate him.


    why?


    Because he made the Three Lions even in a bad situation, it made people have to look forward to the future and cherish the most precious expectation!


    Aldridge was reluctant to quarrel with reporters. When talking about tomorrow¡¯s first game, he still looked serious, saying: "People are saying that England have beaten Sweden in 34 years, 34 years, a long period of time, but in fact The two teams have not officially met many times in the competition. In the past, on the stage of the World Cup, the number of matches between the two teams was zero. The record is a record, but that only represents the past. The Swedish team will be a strong opponent. In this death In the group, 3 points are very important to qualify, but in the first game, no one wants to lose, to avoid the situation becoming passive. To decide the outcome of the game tomorrow, I think it may be in the use of positioning ball, the England team has a big We have a little advantage for a star with such a free kick ability."


    The reporters froze.


    Even the reporters on Fleet Street couldn''t understand whether Aldridge''s words were true or false.


    Have you made a mistake?


    The first game is more conservative, it is not difficult to guess.


    But you directly told the outside world that England will focus on positioning tomorrow?


    Is it true or false?

 Chapter 813： Just to get to the top!

    Just after attending the press conference the day before the Aldridge race, a little later, the second match day of the World Cup was full of smoke!


    Compared with Denmark¡¯s 2:1 victory over Uruguay in the South Korean division of fairy tales, Ireland and Cameroon¡¯s 1:1 handshake and peace in the Japanese division is different from the shocking cold that broke out in South Korea the previous day. The Japanese division has also dedicated to the world. A jaw-dropping game.


    The German chariot 8:0 crushed Saudi Arabia!


    Millwall striker Klose staged a hat-trick, Schneider also scored icing on the cake, the unpredictable German team, the first performance sensational world!


    The start of the World Cup is not only subversive, but also hugely shocking!


    However, this game cannot make the German team change the outside world, because the opponent is not strong, the gap between Europe and Asia is really an oasis and desert, the sky and the abyss!


    No one thinks that Germany¡¯s 8-ball slaughter of Saudi Arabia is representative, because 80% of European teams can win Saudi Arabia. Even if they can¡¯t win such a big score, the strength difference is inherent.


    One day later, the English team took the bus outside the hotel and set off for the Saitama World Cup Stadium.


    From the moment of sitting in the bus, the cabin is very quiet, each player is adjusting his mental state in his usual way, to avoid excessive tension, depression, or excitement, some people will listen to music, some people will With closed eyes and meditation, some people will sleep.


    Outside the Saitama World Cup stadium, England and Sweden fans are very recognizable. Either yellow or blue jerseys, or red and white jerseys, plus local and international fans who come here to watch the game, the atmosphere outside the stadium is very warm. No one is as good as Beckham, and many fans imitate Beckham¡¯s hair style. As for the alien¡¯s style of Afu¡¯s head, it has also attracted much discussion, but not many fans will imitate it.


    How popular is Beckham in Japan?


    When the bus arrived near the stadium, a large number of Japanese female fans in the vicinity would scream in decibels when they saw Beckham sitting by the window, just like a ripple, spreading away, and eventually turned into a storm of crowds!


    The bus drove into the stadium, the whole team got off the bus, and the live shots were followed throughout. The England team led by Aldridge dressed uniformly. The shape of the suit and leather is not lacking in handsomeness and lack of discipline. It makes people at a glance know that this is a team .


    In this World Cup, the British side broadcasted in addition to the gold partners Andy Gray and Martin Taylor live commentary on the English game, they also invited a famous England guest as a commentary guest: football gentleman Reinkel.


    The stands are already full, whether it¡¯s England¡¯s battle with Sweden or Beckham¡¯s personal appeal. In order to get a glimpse of the football star, fans come in early and wave enthusiastically various cheering slogans on the stands , And even many are directly boldly show their love.


    "The England team is warming up, Gary, what do you think of the future of England¡¯s World Cup?"


    "Opinion? I don¡¯t know. Hall brought England with the lowest average age in recent decades to the World Cup. He gave up Fowler, Hiller, Husky, these experienced and powerful players in our eyes, would rather bring The last 16-year-old kid, what the **** is he doing? What is his head thinking? Can you think of it? I can¡¯t think of it, no one can understand his intentions, but, he just took the England team from the qualifiers death line I came to the World Cup step by step and came to our eyes. It didn¡¯t make us like the Netherlands, so we could only stay at home and watch the game. So, I don¡¯t think any opinion is important, I have support for England, and I open my eyes and watch Huo. Well, what level this legendary young coach can lead England to, this is what we should do now."


    "Martin and I pay attention to your comments over the years. It seems that you appreciate Hall very much, right?"


    "Of course, he has injected vitality into English football and brought a distinctive quality. The Premier League has changed due to Millwall, and the English national team is also changing. From technical and tactical style to player use, for example, McMa. A player like Naman who won applause at the Bernabeu, once had a difficult place in the England national team, and the performance of the contest was not satisfactory. Why? Is it McManaman''s problem, or is England''s lagging tactical system restricting him? I am more I would rather believe that the latter, because I would not question McManaman¡¯s determination and will to fight for England. Under the Hall, his national team career has undergone earth-shaking changes. Know that taking over the national team in Hall Before, McManaman was one of the players with the highest voice from the national team, but now, everyone knows that McManaman is indispensable in the England team. Hall activated him so that we can play in the national team. I saw the wonderful scene of McManaman''s talent."


    "Well, indeed, McManaman, Scholes, Irving, their combined offense is full of change and imagination, Gary, as the only person in England who has won the World Cup golden boots, you think the England team is Will there be players hitting the World Cup Golden Boots during the World Cup? For example, Irving."


    The 86 World Cup belongs to Maradona, but the 86-year strike line belongs to Reinkel. He took 6 of England¡¯s 7 goals and became the first World Cup golden boot winner in English history. So far alone.


    Reinkel said after a moment of meditation: "Although Irving is excellent, I think it is difficult for him to get the golden boots, because he is the single forward of England, the first goal of all opponents'' focus restrictions, he wants to get one after another. It¡¯s too difficult to score. However, who knows, like yesterday, German guy Klose, didn¡¯t score three goals in one game? I wouldn¡¯t be surprised if Irving could put on a hat in a game. After 74 years, no player can score more than 6 goals in the World Cup, so yesterday Klose, he has scored 3, which seems to be very close to the Golden Boot, as long as the German team does not have a big accident , At least 3 more games."


    The German team won a match yesterday, the opponents in the same group were not strong, and there was little suspense to advance to the top 16. Therefore, in the mouth of Reinkel, the German team still has at least 3 goals. In the remaining two group matches, the opponent is not strong.


    "Wow, my God, what is Hall doing? This scene is really strange! He is not in the locker room for the World Cup debut. How did he move the set in the Premier League to the World Cup!"


    Martin Taylor exclaimed.


    In the Saitama World Cup stadium, a slightly strange scene appeared.


    The game still has 15 minutes to start. The entire Swedish team, including the coaches, are still in the locker room. There are only a few team doctors on the bench and the non-core team members such as the team leader.


    On the bench of the England national team, from the coach to the team doctor, everyone except Aldridge was on the bench.


    But what about their players?


    Obviously still in the locker room.


    Aldrich was standing on the sidelines, pocketing his hands, pacing back and forth, stepping on the turf, and sometimes looking around the stadium. I have to say that there are still many fans in the stands. He can also make Japanese female fans scream.


    "Haha, this is our young commander in England!"


    Reinkel exclaimed heartily.


    "Gary, don''t you think he should seize the time in the locker room now to mobilize the player''s fighting spirit?"


    "What you say is to despise the young men of the Three Lions. They know what it means to go to the World Cup, and why do they need Hall to stimulate them for fighting? Hall is coming to the stadium in advance. This is not a secret, the reason is the fleet. Street has already disclosed and prepared for it. He has already done it well. Before the game, he will not put pressure on the team. At this time, you don¡¯t think that his leisurely behavior can give the team confidence and give the fans confidence. At the same time, put pressure on the opponent? When the Swedish team comes out, you will see Hall standing there, as if everything is under his control. Will the Swedish team have no pressure? Haha."


    Everything is difficult at the beginning, as is the World Cup.


    Three games in the group stage, in fact the most difficult is the first game!


    The first game is a battle for the team to lay the team''s situation!


    There are a lot of strong teams in the first game. The chain reaction will be that once other opponents win or lose, then the points will be three points behind the two opponents. The following schedule is very difficult to beat, and the strategic deployment from the overall height will fall into Passive, because you will have no secrets and no room for tactical change. Everyone knows that you will take the initiative to increase your offense. If you don¡¯t attack, you will be eliminated.


    And if the first game wins, or is tied, the second game will be elusive. Is it the second game of life and death, or wait and see, and wait for the third game and then fight back out of the battle? The choice is in your own hands.


    This is the difference between active and passive in the overall situation.


    Therefore, when Aldridge still came to the court ahead of schedule, as if he was playing a league in the Premier League or playing in the Champions League, the England commentators were worried.


    After all, Aldridge was young and wanted to pick out his problems.


    He did not lead the team to play in international competitions, lack of experience in this regard.


    He is young, he is proud, will he see no one has yet to understand what is the World Cup game?


    However, fans who like Aldridge and support Aldridge will not think about it. In their eyes, Aldridge is fully prepared, which will give others confidence!


    Aldridge did have the idea of ??walking into the locker room, but it quickly dissipated, because he knew that if he walked in, he was nervous, and this tension would directly infect the team.


    While pacing on the sidelines, he was trying to make his heartbeat smooth, calm, sensible, and even cold, to eliminate all the interference of thoughts and emotions.


    He looked around the grandstand, not because he walked into an unfamiliar stadium, this is not a football temple, no glorious history, no football heritage for him to look forward to and feel.


    He looked around, just trying to find his family. Arthur and Amelia, with Burt and Earl, cheered for him somewhere in the stands.


    But he lowered his head again, stopped the meaningless search with his eyes, suppressed this thought, and made his mind clear and undisturbed!


    On his journey to the World Cup, Aldridge''s external image has undergone a marked change. He will not give people a relaxed and sensual impression. On the contrary, he is majestic, cold, and ambitious!


    At this moment, he raised his head, his eyes full of sharpness, his jaw slightly like a conqueror''s king.


    In the past, he wanted to be in charge of the national team. It was a desire to make a fuss. He wanted to make himself more noticeable, and at the same time bring some positive influence to Millwall.


    But now, his thinking has completely changed, and fame and fortune have long faded.


    Come to the World Cup, just to compete with the world''s heroes, only to reach the peak of the green world!

 Chapter 814： Three lions battle Nordic

    Saitama World Cup Stadium.


    Before the players from both sides played, the Swedish coaching staff first walked out of the player channel.


    When they came out, it was really a surprise, because England''s coaching staff was seated, neat and orderly, and apparently already out.


    Aldrich stood on the sidelines. After the Swedish coaching staff took the seats, he took the initiative to walk over and shake hands with the two Swedish coaches.


    Yes, when coaching the club, Aldridge had encountered two coaches in charge of a team at the same time, such as Liverpool. Now, on the stage of the World Cup, he has encountered such a wonderful coaching staff.


    Two coaches in Sweden, one is Schedberg and the other is Lagbek.


    Fleet Street is very powerful. In addition to allowing the England team to make headlines every day, it still has some practical contributions to the England team, for example, to explore the enemy situation!


    The paparazzi on Fleet Street have figured out the assignment of the coach of the Swedish team. The Swedish team of this double coaching system is, fortunately, the 34-year-old invincible leader of England. Naturally, it cannot be underestimated.


    Shedberg is responsible for collecting information and collating information, and at the same time it will be hot in the game, inspiring on the sidelines and inspiring players. The relatively quiet Lagbek always sits there. He is responsible for the team¡¯s tactical arrangements and changes. The division of labor between the two is clear, but it is certainly impossible to match perfectly. The division of labor determines the operational power of decision-making execution. There may be delays in fighters, and there may be deviations in understanding.


    Knowing oneself and knowing the other is not a battle.


    In response to this wonderful situation of the Swedish team, Aldridge will naturally use it.


    For example, at a news conference yesterday, it was said that England would use a positioning ball...


    Seeing each other is a fate, and can become an opponent on the World Cup stage. Audric still maintains respect for his opponents. After having officially shaken hands with the two coaches, he returned to the coach and waited for the game to begin.


    Players from both sides started to enter.


    "England finally made its debut at the World Cup! It must be said that the Swedish team really has a lot of familiar faces, playing Larsson of Millwall, Ibrahimovic of Arsenal, Yongberg and Nanan. Svenson of Proton, Milder of Wimbledon, Alex Sanderson of Everton, Melberg of Aston Villa, Heidemann of Coventry... count carefully, In the Swedish starter, there are actually 8 people playing in the English football! No wonder England has beaten Sweden in 34 years, and they are too familiar with us."


    "Okay, let''s look at the starting lineups of both sides.


    England starts with 4321.


    Goalkeeper: Seaman.


    Guards: Phil Neville, Ferdinand, Southgate, Ashley Cole.


    Midfielder: Beckham, Bart, Lampard.


    Front waist: Scholes, McManaman.


    Forward: Owen.


    The Swedish team started with 442.


    Goalkeeper: Heideman.


    Guards: Lusic, Melberg, Anderson, Edman.


    Midfielders: Yongberg, Alex Sanderson, Mild, Swenson.


    Forwards: Larson, Ibrahimovic.


    I hope England can get a satisfactory result in the first performance of the World Cup group stage, and lay a solid foundation for the qualifying from the death group! "


    The players on both sides have already shook hands before the game.


    There are many players in the Swedish team playing in the English football, but not all in the top league, and Ibrahimovic, Yongberg, Melberg, Alex Sanderson, is certainly a familiar face of English players.


    When Aldridge witnessed the handshake of the two teams, he suddenly realized that the scene before him was very wonderful.


    Southgate shook hands with Larson, and the two patted each other''s arms without speaking.


    Southgate shook hands with Melberg in a normal way. Southgate could not understand this life. This scene made Aldridge see how wonderful it was in his eyes.


    If, without Aldridge, without Millwall, without these eight years of mentoring and apprenticeship, without these eight years of top-level competition.


    Southgate, should be the sinner remembered by the All England fans, the Aston Villa who stayed in the backwaters, and then, at this time, began to be replaced by Melberg as a new darling player in Villa Park. Right.


    However, Southgate did not know, Melberg did not know, only Aldridge knew.


    If, without Aldridge, snatching Henry from Wenger, maybe Ibrahimovic will still go to Ajax or start in the second-tier top league instead of gaining a foothold in the Premier League top league and then become Sweden The team''s starting striker became Larson''s partner.


    Of these, only Aldrich knew it.


    Southgate came to the referee as the captain of England. The captain of the Swedish team also came across from Southgate and began to pick sides and exchange team flags.


    Sweden captain, Anderson, Southgate is no stranger. When Anderson played for Bayern Munich, everyone played together. Now Anderson plays for Barcelona.


    The more you play in the top league and come to the top world cup stage, it will not be too strange, because you are here with stars, here gathers more than 90% of the strong players in today''s football, and the top players who failed to come here It¡¯s not that they aren¡¯t strong, such as the masters of the Dutch team, but they can only be said that as a team, they are not strong.


    After the tossing over, in the first half, the England team will attack from left to right.


    With the whistle of the referee Carlos Simon, the game between England and Sweden officially started!


    The fans in the stands cheered with enthusiasm, but the stadium was not filled with smoke, as if it was just a fresh breeze passing by the sea, the ripples passed by, the waves could not be lifted, the storm could not be triggered, the slight fluctuations, but still calm.


    With the formation of the Swedish team back, even Ibrahimovic¡¯s less forward defender withdrew from the middle lap, at least he could act as a moving wall, not to mention Larson, but came directly to the middle lap to defend The Swedish defender line and back line dragged behind, forming a dense defense area.


    To play the England team, the Sweden team must collect information. Besides the game video, what is more helpful than asking Larson directly?


    For the honor of the national team, Larsen will naturally inform the Swedish coaching staff of his insights on the essence of Aldridge''s formation.


    After following Aldridge for eight years, although Aldridge would not teach him by example, Larson had his own opinion and did not dare to say how profound his accomplishments were. The lineup is put out. Through the understanding of the player''s ability and the analysis of past game videos, Larson can not only point out that the England team is fighting back, a tactical idea known all over the world, but also accurately point out the essence of the England team''s counterattack: hidden Offensive point!


    The Swedish team is naturally not as good as England. England¡¯s main lineup either plays for giants or first-line clubs, and some players are playing in the same club, such as Manchester United and Millwall, which makes them more team-wide. Tacit understanding.


    The players of the Swedish team, except for individual giants or first-tier clubs, are all low-level clubs or second-tier leagues. For example, if they play in the Netherlands or Greece, or they are like Coventry and Wimbledon. In the league.


    Therefore, in the face of England, they will not first consider to play their own strengths, with weak resistance, the basis of undefeated is to restrict the strong team, on the basis of restrictions, looking for the chance of winning with a low probability.


    Defense is necessary, how to prevent it?


    Combined with the suggestions provided by Larson and the information collection of the coaching staff, they developed a set of unilateral counterattack tactics.


    The back line can''t give the opponent space, you have to retreat, Owen''s speed, Scholes'' forward insertion, these are all intuitive threats, the defense line is close, and the danger of being beaten is like showing the door to give the handle.


    Although Beckham was injured before the game, the state did not recover to 100%, but the threat of golden right foot can still not be ignored, then the left midfield must be defensive, limiting Beckham to step forward and create threats.


    The England midfielder plus Scholes is in the middle. This middle defense is impenetrable, and the middle is strong. The Swedish team has no capital, so they used a butcher-type defensive player like Wimbledon to strengthen the defense.


    The only thing left is the right. For the right, there is Yong Berry, and Larson, who is over 30 years old, and Ibrahimovic has a ball in front of the ball to give Yong Bei. The opportunity for Li and Larson to plug in, Ibrahimovic is the fulcrum in the front, the offensive main attack is the right.


    Moreover, the side of Lampard and Ashley Cole is relatively weak in defense, and Phil Neville on the other side has some experience in the competition, and his physical condition is above Ashley Cole. Beckham is also known as running undead. The offensive players on the left side of the Swedish team are naturally inferior to Yong Berry. After comprehensive consideration, the Swedish team''s tactics in the game are now in sight.


    Counterattack unilaterally on the right!


    After the game started, the ups and downs, the first impression of the England team on the world stage is that they are not a strong team!


    Yes, because England seems to shrink deeper than Sweden and is more cautious than Sweden. It seems that the Swedish team is trying to tear the offensive gap from the right. Yongberg and Larson, Ibrahimovic, three people cooperate Together, it created a lot of pressure on the left side of England, but the accompanying problem was that the three concentrated on this side, and then the attack turned back to the middle, but the threat of a fatal blow was weakened.


    The Swedish team is also tentative, focusing on establishing local advantages, but that area cannot directly threaten the goal and create an absolute killer zone. Even if the attack is pushed to the bottom of the right side, they will make adjustments and organize, and they will soon Submerged in the intensive defensive wave of England''s backcourt.


    The England team¡¯s offense is slow, slow-paced, and determined to penetrate the opponent¡¯s defense through a short pass in the midfield and frontcourt, but only by Irving, McManaman, Scholes, and the offensive position. Beckham and Lampard with a slight premise, they want to pass Sweden''s dense defense through the pass, it is a fool''s dream.


    The game, it seems that you come and go, in fact, no change.


    The routines, rhythm, and offensive and defensive system remain unchanged.


    Both teams are conservative and are afraid to lose the first game and make the next two games passive.


    In the first 20 minutes, the game only made the fans in the stands nervous because of its importance, and the content was lackluster. The two teams were like the ancient two armies battling a stable camp, and then sent a general to scold before the battle, but they didn¡¯t dare to really swear. Fight bravely.


    Time passed by one minute and one second, and there wasn''t even a dangerous picture on the field that could make fans worry.


    Aldridge looked down at his watch, Breguet, Napoleon''s favorite, and Aldridge loved it because of its precision!


    25 minutes have passed since the start of the game.


    Time to move!

 Chapter 815： Three lions looking up

    In the eyes of everyone, England was divided into the group of deaths, which is called bad luck.


    In terms of schedule, England has played Sweden for the first time, with three draws in the middle, the next and the second. It is considered a winning draw. It is not good, it is not bad. The battle met Argentina, the champion who won the championship, and England could be bombarded with arrogance when Argentina''s attack was gorgeous.


    However, in Aldrich''s view, the death group has become a foregone conclusion. In the schedule, England''s first battle is Sweden, the second battle is Argentina, and the final battle is Nigeria. This is the signing of the schedule, the best sort of schedule opponents.


    Nigeria is the weakest in the eyes of the other top three in the death group, and it has the highest confidence in taking all three points.


    But the more so, if you encounter Nigeria in the first game, who can guarantee that England will not repeat the tragedy of France?


    Because your mindset will change, thinking that ambition must be gained, the situation also forces you to rack your brain and take the initiative to step on Nigeria, which will make it easier for opponents to seize opportunities.


    If the first game against Argentina, the Pampas eagle soars in the South American sky, and arrogant to the heroes, who can determine the status of their first performance? In case of crazy, the pressure of the England team''s first game will be extremely huge.


    On the contrary, Sweden, this is a weaker opponent than England, but it can''t be underestimated by England. It will make the England team very cautious and dare not to be taken lightly. The reason is that Sweden is invincible in 34 years!


    I haven''t beaten it in 34 years. Looking at the paper strength, no one dares to arbitrarily assert that England must win.


    After all, the England team is young, and many players lack experience in competitions, which makes it either better to underestimate the enemy or collapse under great pressure. Try not to encounter it as early as possible. Stand on the stage of the World Cup first, feel the atmosphere, and stabilize the mentality. Adapt to this level of the game, and then concentrate on the game, at least to achieve normal performance.


    In the first game of Sweden, in the first 25 minutes, Aldridge gave the team the military regulations!


    The first 25 minutes, shrink, guard, slow, come little by little, step by step.


    If you lose the ball, the situation will be bad, but if you can score in the first 25 minutes, it is not necessarily a good thing. This will cause huge fluctuations when the mentality is not completely stabilized, which will do harm to the following game.


    If it is Millwall, playing in an unfamiliar environment, Aldridge will give the team 10 minutes to enter the game. This entry into the game is actually the kind of mentality described above. Only when the mentality is stable, the body can play freely.


    If the game is important, 5 minutes more, at the level of Millwall, the time to adapt, integrate, and fully enter the game state, the limit will not exceed 15 minutes, that is determined by their team level and experience, it is their capital Even when the state bursts into the table, it may not take 3 minutes to enter the game.


    For the English national team, Aldridge gave them 5 minutes. Considering the opening game, players like Ashley Cole, Lampard, Ferdinand did not experience such a big game, and Aldridge gave another 5 minutes.


    Is 25 minutes in 90 minutes wasted?


    No, this is very important, absolutely important, because scoring and losing the ball never take too long, 10 seconds, 20 seconds to determine the outcome of a game, those teams who play the ultimate anti-reverse, create miracles The team may prepare 80 minutes or even 90 minutes for the "destiny time" of 10 seconds and 20 seconds!


    In contrast, the Swedish team also needs to adapt to the game in this way and enter the time of the game, so both sides are conservative after the opening.


    However, due to the fact that the Swedish team is a little weaker, they can¡¯t afford it with England. The theoretical probability that they will take away the victory is lower than that of England. Therefore, when attacking, the killing is highlighted from the opening trial, although The pressure is not great, and I didn''t do my best, but after all, I have a whim.


    They attacked Ashley Cole''s defense line, Aldridge looked in his eyes and was not surprised.


    After all, Sweden¡¯s offensive pressure is limited. Under this kind of not fierce offensive pressure, Ashley Cole and Lampard will enter the game faster than other players. They will concentrate on the game and continue to defend successfully. Build confidence.


    That¡¯s why it¡¯s better to say that it¡¯s better to fight Sweden than Argentina and Nigeria. Argentina¡¯s crazy offensive posture can¡¯t help crushing Ashley Cole and Lampard in their first World Cup debut and building confidence. ? Once a fatal mistake is made, it will become their nightmare, where is the chance? Nigeria also has more opportunities for weak teams to play defense.


    Only Sweden has a gap with England, but the gap is not particularly large. With the background of England¡¯s fear of opponents, it is the best whetstone in the early stage of England¡¯s World Cup stage!


    In the first 25 minutes, the confidence of the young men of the Three Lions was sharpened, and their stable mentality was sharpened!


    This is not only great for this game, but also for the next two group matches.


    Aldridge sees the team working flexibly. At least when the offensive and defensive transitions, the midfield and backcourt players have a clear idea of ??passing and receiving. No one will be embarrassed. The Swedish team will not be in the frontcourt. Ground harassment, and the opponent obviously can not keep up with the speed of their ball transfer, which means that the mentality of the England team has stabilized, and everyone has entered the game.


    Only when the whole team has entered the state of play can England have the basis to recruit the enemy.


    After 25 minutes, Aldridge took the opportunity of a dead ball to make a gesture on the sidelines and shouted a few words to ensure that the team could see its own instructions on the spot.


    When players in England see Aldridge¡¯s gestures, they will not be surprised, panicked, or feel the urgency of catching the duck.


    This is all in the established plan, and as all of them entered the game, they gradually couldn''t control their desire to attack.


    Previously, they have been playing short pass penetration in the midfield and frontcourt, but there are not many response points, the offense has repeatedly failed, and almost no threat to the Swedish defense.


    After Aldridge ordered, the pace of England''s attack suddenly changed.


    The audience in the stands of Saitama World Cup Stadium also clearly felt that the pace of the game is gradually increasing!


    In the 28th minute of the game, McManaman, Scholes, and Lampard made a kick from the left side of the frontcourt, and played a clean triangle to pass the offensive cooperation. When receiving the ball from McManaman Initiated, and finally passed to him at Lampard.


    But McManaman¡¯s position was already premised, throwing away Yongberry in the left rear, and then suddenly breaking through Alessanderson!


    Alec Sanderson was unbelievable. Almost half an hour ago, McManaman was passing, passing, passing. The opponent suddenly made such a sudden breakthrough that made him overwhelmed. When he turned around again, it seemed like half a century. It has passed, and the speed at which McManaman erupted has given him no chance to get back!


    Shedberg watched very anxiously on the sidelines, shouting to let players defensively mark people!


    Another coach, Ragbeck, who was sitting on the coach''s seat, slapped his thigh. His expression suddenly became anxious, and he couldn''t help turning his head to look at the harsh Audridge not far away.


    This young handsome, really **** cunning!


    The offensive player and the defensive player enter the game state is completely different, the offensive player can be distracted, mainly to deal with the sense of the ball, when not in the state, there will be errors and delays in handling the ball, and the defensive player enters the state is the spirit Concentration and calm judgment, and body rhythm to keep up.


    The previous counterattack by the Swedish team helped the defender of the England team enter the rhythm of the game. In the process of the continuous short pass cooperation of the England team, the offensive players will not be distracted or unfocused. On the contrary, when there is no ball Running and kicking the ball will help them enter the game.


    However, England never hit the Swedish defender''s line in frontal battles before. Their non-investment often announced that the offensive died in the midfield. They didn''t try a breakthrough, not once!


    That''s it. The Swedish defender almost spent the time before moving up and down. The England team suddenly increased its speed. Coupled with the player''s dribbling breakthrough, the Swedish team was caught off guard by surprise!


    Obviously, this is definitely an English conspiracy!


    It must have come from the hand of the world-famous young master.


    Shedeberg watched with horror as McManaman made a breakthrough in the field, and a straight line cut into the middle of the Swedish defense line Lusic and Melberg, that is, the ribs were empty!


    Suddenly beaten by England for such a moment, the Swedish team''s back line was really dizzy. Looking at the distance clearly, Lusic withdrew and could definitely close the door to seal McManaman, but Lusic was slow, and McManaman missed. Just rushed over!


    "YES! YES! McManaman dribbled into the penalty area! Great opportunity for England!"


    Just as McManaman entered the penalty zone, the chasing boy Owen swiftly ran from the middle of Anderson and Edman to the middle of Melberg and Anderson.


    Melberg has been broken by McManaman, but he is still stuck in the middle of the route. If McManaman changes direction, Melberg has a chance to intercept!


    At this time, McManaman has only two options, pass or shoot!


    The situation was clear at a glance, and the most crucial point was Anderson. He noticed Owen''s running position, just about to turn around, but found that Scholes suddenly inserted his left side, which is the area before Owen''s running position. In an instant, the England restricted zone Three arrows from the left, middle and right!


    Between Anderson''s hesitation, Owen was already in place, McManaman pushed the ball slightly into the middle, and Owen hit the ball without adjusting it was a shot!


    After the shot, Owen looked up and sighed!


    This is his first shot of the game, and it feels average, hitting the goal range, but playing too positive, too positive!


    Heideman was almost hit by the ball in the chest, and then when the ball bounced out, his arms folded to hold the ball in his arms.


    "Huh, England missed a great opportunity, Owen shot in the penalty area was confiscated by the goalkeeper, what a good chance, if this goal scored..."


    "Andy, not every goal can be scored. I think it¡¯s a good sign now. England hadn¡¯t played a threat of attack nearly half an hour ago, but after a sudden speed increase, a huge threat was formed. This is not accidental, definitely It was designed by Hall. Now, the Swedish team is a little flustered. I believe England will create a great opportunity."


    "Gary, I hope your predictions will be fulfilled."

 Chapter 816： Poodle with wings

    While Reinkel interacted with the two commentators, the England offensive suddenly swept through!


    The Swedish team had just attacked after halftime, Ibrahimovic scored the ball to Yungberg, Lampard and Yungberry were entangled together, then was successfully intercepted by Ashley Cole, then, the England team''s counterattack quickly Advance.


    This time it was Scholes attacking in the middle. After a cross pass with Irving, Scholes suddenly passed the ball back. Beckham who came to the frontcourt was almost without threat in the first half hour. The Swedish team A little slack, their defensive focus shifted to the middle lane Scholes, Owen side, and at this moment Beckham just came up to catch the ball, someone in front rushed to defend, but Beckham did not hesitate to take a long pass!


    The Bayesian arc is not on the side, nor in the 40-yard danger zone of the penalty area, but it still allows the ball to cross an arc in the sky, such as breaking the sky, bypassing the Swedish team''s waistline and defender line.


    This arc is extremely weird, because at first, I felt like I was going to the goal, and it was obviously high, but when I flew halfway, I felt that it was rotating from right to left and falling fast!


    The Swedish team was shocked. This kind of ball would interfere with the player''s defensive consciousness. For example, Melberg, who originally thought it had nothing to do with him, would not fall into his defensive area of ??responsibility. After he reacted, he looked back at the landing point. At that time, a cold sweat was shocked.


    McManaman is on the route to grab a spot!


    This ball will fall to the left of the top corner of the small penalty area. Beckham cuts in the air in half-moon. It is the Swedish defender and the defensive line of the waist.


    McManaman''s speed has reached the extreme, but he himself knows that the difference is not the same!


    At the last moment of grabbing a point, he made a move that he was not good at, flew and shot!


    The desperate "Curl Dog" hit the ball with his toes and made a bang, but the ball didn''t fly to the goal as expected, but instead, it flew out of the bottom line. That was the shot he tried his best to complete. It just looks more like a defender''s release.


    McManaman got up from the ground and heard the cheers and applause of the English fans in the stands when he lowered his head. He raised his head and raised a thumb in the direction of Beckham, and then walked faster and faster, trotting, Withdraw to defend.


    Aldrich saw this scene. Although he had some expectations in his heart, he found that the goal was not scored. He didn''t even fly to the goal. However, he was full of ambition and confidence, without any disappointment.


    England, getting better!


    "McManaman missed a good opportunity in the penalty area, which may not be an opportunity for him, not even a good one, but this time the cooperation brightened our eyes. Beckham¡¯s pass took Sweden People are terrified!"


    The Swedes did panic.


    Now England and the team 25 minutes before the game are simply two teams!


    Maybe the first 25 minutes of the game made the Swedish team really think that England was just like that, not worth mentioning, but they should keep in mind that: the thin and dead camel is bigger than the horse, and England is always the three lion stronger than Sweden. Legion!


    England started a continuous threat of attack, which originated from the initiative to speed up the rhythm and the player''s technical ability. After the combination of changing rhythm and offensive means, the Swedish team was unable to react for a while.


    Lagbek, who was sitting on the coach''s seat, quickly made adjustments to tactical changes. Another coach, Shedeberg, passed on the field and shouted to strengthen the execution of tactics.


    England is constantly attacking forward. McManaman, Scholes and Owen have both a tacit understanding and strength, and they have played their characteristics to the fullest. Scholes organized scheduling and McMana. Mann attack, Owen looking for the position and speed of the fighter.


    After the adjustment of the Swedish team, they strengthened the close **** of Scholes and McManaman, and began to give England a free kick in the frontcourt.


    When Beckham nearly got through the Swedish team''s gate with a full moon scimitar, Ragbeck and Schedbergic were shocked.


    They suddenly thought that before the game, Aldridge said that the England team will work **** the positioning ball!


    Especially when the second free kick, Beckham did not choose to attack the goal, but passed around the back point, Ferdinand nearly headered the situation, the two coaches of the Swedish team felt the pressure of suffocation.


    The mind also started to get a little confused.


    England is also struggling to find change in the positioning ball.


    Change is the key to success.


    Regardless of the speed of the game rhythm, the player''s personal skills, positioning ball tactics, this is the source of change.


    The changes in England''s offense are constantly erupting, as if the flower of the bud is in full bloom!


    After Owen''s shot from 28 minutes, and up to 10 minutes thereafter, England occupied an absolute advantage on the field, constantly attacking, playing the Swedish team''s defensive line, the position battle, counterattack, positioning the ball, the threat is constantly rising.


    The Swedish team can''t predict what changes the England team can play, and there are some signs that they can''t withstand the passive defense.


    They can only keep shrinking their formations and constantly compressing their space. They are conservative at the beginning, and now they are on the verge of extreme defense!


    In the 40th minute, the ruthless Aldridge continued to gesture to the field, and the first half of the 5 minutes will end. With this wave of momentum, England must seize the opportunity!


    In this wave of offensive frenzy, England always starts from the midfield, and no matter how the players play, their offense is straight forward, and later plugged in, dribbling breakthrough, a ball transfer or penetration as the main means.


    After Aldridge made a gesture, the England team made a new wave of offensive changes in the 42nd minute offensive, pushing the offensive frenzy of this period to its peak!


    Just after Larsson initiated the offensive and handed the ball to Ibrahimovic just after halftime, when I went to the front, Ibrahimovic was interfered by Bart. Before Scholes returned to the defense and ran back, he had too many options for the ball. Obviously, it was to pass to Yong Berry, and was ended directly by Lampard!


    Lampard crossed the ball on the other side after a steal, and quickly transferred the ball to Beckham.


    Beckham had just crossed the middle line, and Irving, who was at the front, had started to run. Owen ran forward. The Swedish defense line was suddenly tense. Fearing that Beckham would have a precise long pass, then Owen took the opportunity to break through the city gate. .


    So the Swedish defender''s line was moving backwards, but Beckham gently tipped the ball and landed at McManaman''s feet. Behind McManaman was the Swedish team''s midfielder, Scole. At the beginning, Sri Lanka had not moved, but when McManaman started dribbling laterally from left to right, Scholes made a decisive move forward!


    The English team has been playing a straight attack. This time, the ball is at the foot of McManaman. In the frontcourt, he left the ball laterally all the way to the right. It is a dribble that moves in a parallel position.


    This caught the Swedish team by surprise.


    Step forward, dare not, Scholes advances, Owen is also in front.


    McManaman drove skillfully from left to right, overturning the Swedish team''s defense, dashed horizontally in front of Alex Sanderson, and then suddenly changed direction when Mild came up to intercept, allowing Mild to intercept and miss. The curly-haired McManaman walked sideways and crossed the half of the cross, completely letting Sweden''s defense rank him as the number one enemy!


    At this point McManaman''s eyes were firm, but his mind was very clear, and he understood what he was doing.


    This is the World Cup, the stage where players dream!


    He knew that without Aldridge, he would not appear here.


    In the past national team, his duties were very simple, holding the left side to defend, attack, defend, attack, and deliver the cannonball to the midfielder one high and one double forward, then, was criticized, slammed, and then competed in the wing forward Losing in talent is far inferior to his players.


    It was Aldridge that gave him a new life.


    It was Aldridge that activated his talent.


    Never, never, before Aldridge, he never felt like playing for the national team now, truly free and enjoy, galloping in this green field!


    He seemed to have been put on a pair of wings!


    The negative influence of the once hot brother made him nervous and ashamed in front of Aldridge. In addition to Millwall players, the national teammates, including him, will respectfully call Coach Aldridge.


    However, McManaman hid a sentence in his heart that he might never be able to say.


    How I want, how I want, how I want to call you: Boss!


    If I can get back to life, I would like to go through the flames for you, I would like to listen to your teachings, I would like to form a relationship with you!


    Me, Steve McManaman, 30 this year! The only World Cup that can let me release so enjoyably is this, my last chance!


    If the prince treats as a prince, I will report it as a prince!


    "WOW! McManaman took Beckham to start from the left of midfield midfielder. He dribble quickly, the ball and ball combination is perfect, accelerates over Alessanderson, and uses rhythm change to break through. After Mild, he came to the right in front of the penalty area and overlooked. The Swedish defenders were rushing towards him, forming a circle for him!"


    McManaman came to the penalty area, facing the dense encirclement, he stopped running, stopped the ball, and then passed the ball from the back of the defense in the side of Alexander Sanderson.


    This second, McManaman''s mouth was slightly raised, and it seemed to remind him of Aldridge holding a tactical board in training to explain the chain reaction of the offensive changes.


    Owen, Scholes'' forward thrust, pressed the central defender, forcing them to not move forward. McManaman''s lateral dribbling from left to right disrupted the opponent''s defense.


    And when his passing passed, although the Swedish team still had two central defenders guarding the middle, they did not dare to go out for the first time. Melberg gave up until he saw a Taoist shooting on the pass line. Scholes rushed up.


    But he slowed down, Lampard rushed up to lead the ball forward, the speed difference of the rhythm allowed him to directly break through Melberg¡¯s defense, Owen blocked Anderson, Scholes blocked Lusic, if Lampard turned his head to look to the right and would see McManaman standing in the encirclement of the two Swedish midfielders and full-back Edman. He attracted and contained the big troops!


    Lampard''s single-handed situation has become almost impossible to go to the goalkeeper Heideman''s position, as if a tiger is blasting a heavy gun!


    At the moment when the ball went out, Ginger''s head widened slightly, Owen''s fists were clenched up, Heidman was stunned, but McManaman showed a smile, wanting to turn his head to see Audridge on the sidelines, around him , All the players of the Swedish team look dignified or panic, or frightened like a ghost!


    This ball will definitely enter!

 Chapter 817： Chasing the young downturn

    At the Saitama World Cup Stadium, the audience held their breaths in the stands, the Swedish fans'' hearts were sinking, and the English fans'' swinging arms were ready to go!


    McManman disturbed the Swedish team''s midfield defense through his personal ability and tore the center line of defense. He did not attack the opposing defender''s line, and Owen and Scholes''s running position was inserted as if the two were on the bowstring. If the defender moves, they will take the heart of the Swedish team!


    For this reason, Lampard walked along the middle promenade opened by McManaman, and at the forefront, Irving and Scholes held the last iron gate for them. The offensive of the England team was interlocked. The layers are close. At the moment, the clouds are cleared, and Lampard is the last sword to strike.


    Lampard, who rushed up at full speed, entered the penalty area and shot with anger. The ball was like a cannonball and a dazzling trajectory. No one could see the ball because the speed was too fast to express.


    In the blink of an eye, when people saw the ball clearly, they suddenly found that the ball had been decelerated by the net from the goal, and then rolled out again!


    The passion erupted from the stands of the stadium as if to shake the mountain!


    "England scored! England scored! Frank Lampard, 24-year-old Lampard scored England¡¯s first goal in this World Cup! This shot was unstoppable, nobody could Block! Even if Sweden has a possessive spirit and gods, it can¡¯t stop it! It can¡¯t stop England¡¯s determination to score goals, it can¡¯t stop England¡¯s fighting spirit! Great England is opening the door to victory!¡±


    "Martin, Andy, have to say that this goal is epoch-making, because from the process of scoring, we can see the obvious Hall brand, which belongs to the English team of Aldrich Hall, no longer The former England of 442 is England of 4321! The offense has changed a lot, and although there are not many offensive players, each of them is crucial! Beckham mobilized the offense, McManaman created Lampard and plugged in. The space, Owen, Scholes, their threat of running position seems to make a sword of Damocles hanging from the head of the Swedish defense. In the end, McManaman assists Lampard, the 24-year-old Midfielders put the ball into the Swedish team''s gate in a brutal but **** way!"


    Lampard immediately rushed to the corner flag area to start celebrating, all his teammates rushed to him, and he waved his fists towards the large English fans in the stands, and the roar of the Three Lions broke out!


    At this moment, in England, countless fans in front of the TV and countless fans in the bar either shouted to celebrate, or toasted.


    England in the first 25 minutes is worrying. It seems that there is no place to look forward to. Even neutral fans will have a thought: If such an England can win the World Cup, it is blind!


    But in the last 20 minutes of England, the neutral fans shined. The smooth running offensive and defensive system in England, the tacit cooperation of the attacking group in the frontcourt, and the endless offensive changes have made people start to change England and have a little anticipation. .


    Needless to say England fans, they swept away the haze before the start of the World Cup, all negative rumors of the England team disappeared, they saw a strong England, like the majestic and cold, lion-like three lions standing on the sidelines Legion coach!


    Aldridge closed his eyes after Frank Lampard scored a goal, his right hand clenched a fist, and then he opened his eyes again, his expression remained unchanged, applauded towards the players in the court, and then made a two-handed pressure, indicating that in the first half To have a solid defense in the time left in the venue, we must end the half with a lead and enter the locker room.


    The two coaches of the Swedish team, Shedeberg and Lagbek, look dignified. Shedeberg is cheering up the players and inspiring their fighting spirit, while Lagbek, the coach in charge of tactical division of labor, is full of thoughts. .


    Through the eruption in just 20 minutes, England played Sweden without a fight back. It is not without reason. Strategically this is the success of the England team. In terms of tactical details, it is also where the England team succeeds.


    They are no longer a team of forward-thinking, high-simple and rough teams. Despite the player''s personal skills, they can''t say that the whole team is subtle and gorgeous.


    The three-lion team built by Aldrich, regardless of the overall layout or teamwork, has a very strong sense of layering, and the ability of the players to match also brings the advantages to the extreme!


    Before Scholes, after Beckham, the former has a short pass, the latter has a long pass, McManaman dribbling, Owen running, and Lampard after the plug...


    Saying that England is not good, picking their faults and shortcomings, they can''t count the baskets, but it does not mean that they are useless, give play to their advantages, plus the most prominent feature of these players: physical running!


    The three-lion legion under Aldrich does not have the talent to be the best, but they can still be unmatched!


    In the first half, Ibrahimovic kicked a 35-yard long shot from the door to the stands to declare the end. The two coaches of Sweden, Ragbeck and Schedberg, knew that the intermission was too important for them, and the situation became very difficult. .


    While the English narrators discussed the first half of the game warmly, Aldridge didn''t praise the players in the locker room, only 45 minutes ended, and it was far from the time to relax.


    "1:0, we lead, and the situation is very beneficial to us. Now that we have a better room to play, the Swedish team will definitely strengthen the offensive in the second half. Don''t be afraid, keep your mind calm, and you can''t hold the deadlock because of the lead. idea¡­¡­"


    In the locker room, Aldridge seriously arranged the second half of the game. In fact, by this time, he will emphasize the mentality more and not make too many tactical adjustments.


    The best environment for this set of techniques and tactics is counterattack. The more he adjusts, the more he will confuse the players themselves.


    Now I can see at a glance that this is a team with an overall style. Aldridge needs the team to be stable and will not take a risky move.


    In the second half, Aldridge stood on the sidelines to observe the Swedish team''s offensive and defensive adjustments.


    After halftime, the Swedish team will of course adjust.


    As soon as the second half came up, the obvious change was that during the offense, the midfield players'' pressure on the forward increased, and the tendency of the front pressure in the offense was obvious, but this front pressure is still a deterrent, a kind of containment, they still dare not like Lampard rushed directly to the restricted area like that, and even stepped into the restricted area. Why? What should I do if I can''t come back?


    Containment is to create more opportunities for Ibrahimovic, Yongberg and Larson.


    The adjustment of the Swedish team will not disrupt the deployment of the England team, because in essence, the 4321 of England is to hope that the opponent will attack. No matter how the opponent attacks, as long as the attack is made, the England team defends successfully, and the fast attack is quickly launched from the defense to the attack. , The space for counterattack will be greater.


    In the 51st minute, Bart cut off the pass from Swenson to Ibrahimovic. After the ball was broken, the ball was passed straight ahead. Scholes, who withdrew the response, was in the area behind Swenson, which was the fast break. Space, the defense after catching the opponent''s offensive investment cannot be returned in time.


    Scholes took the ball on his back and knocked it back to Beckham without stopping the ball. Beckham reapplied with his old tricks. The mid-range long pass was given to McManman who pulled out the neutral.


    The poodles threatened the ball in the second half of the first half and became the center of gravity of the Swedish team''s defense, but they stepped up their offense. Relatively, when the fast break is played, the defense will be weakened.


    McManaman no longer sticks the ball, and the ground crosses Scholes forward from the other side. At this time, Scholes has come to the Swedish defender line.


    The **** head still kept the ball and directly inserted the ball into the penalty area.


    Owen half-turned around Anderson to catch the ball and used his speed to pass half of Anderson''s position. Although the angle to the goal was a little small, he should have no problem shooting.


    Owen half turned and volleyed. After the shot, Owen backed up to the sky with a huge sigh of England fans.


    The ball hit the side net and missed the goal.


    "Owen doesn''t seem to be in shape today. He is a bit bad at the goal. He should not be at this level once in the first half and once in the second half. If it is the best Irving, he can score at least one!"


    "Yes, but Hall put all the front line bets on Owen. Now I can only hope that Owen''s state can be adjusted quickly."


    Aldrich also saw that Irving was not at his best. He could only say that in this game, Irving''s performance was temporarily two extremes.


    There are two states.


    One is the competitive state, that is, the display of technical capabilities.


    One is the physical state, as the name implies, the state of the physical hardware.


    Irving¡¯s extreme performance is that his physical condition is very good, which is reflected in his running position and speed, but his competitive state is not at the normal level, which is reflected in his shooting level.


    These two states are also the reason why the power flow and the technical flow can compete for a long time. Regardless of the competitive state of a player, his physical state will not have too much contrast when there is no injury or disease.


    Taking Irving as an example, his condition is worse, but his speed will not decline significantly. He should be able to run when it is time to run, and the same is true of players with excellent physical fitness. When the condition is poor, he may stop the ball. Passing is unsatisfactory, but the muscle strength of the body will not disappear or the muscles will shrink, and the decline of the body state will not be obvious.


    Owen''s situation Aldridge is mentally prepared, giving him enough time to recover his physical condition, which is why he can still play his physical advantage, but his competitive state stems from being overused by Liverpool, Liverpool last season''s Champions League away In the semi-finals, Irving scored 19 goals in the league, and his state is very good. However, it is difficult for a player''s competitive state to maintain its peak throughout the season. Irving''s best state is played in Liverpool, and now it has fallen back. To be inspired again, in addition to his personal adjustments, he also needs to play.


    So Aldridge can accept the current Irving and give him time to recover and adjust. Since the game, he slowly inspired. If there is no competition, Irving will have no time to count on.


    In the second half, the Swedish team adjusted not only the offensive aspect, but also the defense. The defender also made a relatively big adjustment. That is, the full-back abandoned the side and directly received the middle, or helped the midfielder to make up, or helped the central defender to mark.


    This is an adjustment made by Ragbeck''s analysis of England''s first half of the offensive in the middle of the offensive. England is almost invisible to the wing impact within 40 yards, and the full-back defending the wing is superfluous.


    After 3 minutes, the England team once again penetrated the Swedish midfield defense. In addition to Yongberg, the Swedish midfielders have a considerable gap in strength from the first-class level. The teams they play for are also counted. Not in the first-line clubs, in terms of strength, the England team is not difficult to penetrate the opponent''s midfield defense, but the number of England teams into the offense is not large. Irving received the ball in the right position in front of the penalty area and hit the opponent''s final defense.


    Owen with the ball breakthrough was intercepted by Edman and Anderson and the ball was successfully intercepted and the ball was successfully intercepted. Once again, it was seen that Owen was not in state. This is the competitive state. There is no ball. Owen looks ok, but the ball is at his feet. The status is clear at a glance.


    Owen seemed a little disappointed and became irritable, but when he looked back to the sidelines, he saw Aldridge showing his thumbs to him. Although the other party¡¯s expression looked a little cold, Owen¡¯s mentality immediately changed, he Knowing that the head coach supports him at this moment, tolerates his mistakes and gives him enough patience.


    Irving stopped thinking and started to adjust calmly.


    Since the state of the ball is worse, he simply plays the good side and contributes other strengths to the team!

 Chapter 818： Close as soon as you see it

    Shadeberg''s limb movements on the sidelines exaggerated the Swedish team''s offensive momentum. He can see that the adjustment of the Swedish team in the second half is effective, and it is also related to the decline in the threat of England''s number one striker Irving.


    At least the adjustment of the Swedish team to put down the full-back makes it difficult for the England team to find a perfect opportunity on the front line of the offensive end.


    This is the best time for the Swedish team to counterattack.


    However, the more he encouraged the team, the more aggressive the Swedish team''s offensive looks, but the situation on the court has undergone subtle changes.


    The offensive of the England team is like the second half of the first half, slowly erupting!


    Ragbeck''s eyes suddenly widened. In an attack of England, a player directly assisted and came to the right bottom line position of the Swedish defense line!


    Phil Neville!


    The England full-backs came up with assists!


    In the first half, I definitely couldn''t see such a scene. The participation of Phil Neville and Ashley Cole in the attack was at most only a response after halftime. It was the first time that the wings were involved in the attack.


    Did England spell it?


    No, no!


    Rugbeck was not attracted by England''s offensive threats. That was Schedberg''s attention. Instead, he looked towards England''s backcourt.


    Ferdinand, Southgate, Ashley Cole, Bart, Beckham, eh? Beckham!


    England¡¯s defense in the backcourt ensured the presence of a three-back and a midfielder Bart. At the same time, Beckham¡¯s position not only did not advance, but also withdrew some back, although not as serious as Bart¡¯s back midfield. , But apparently watch out for the Swedish team''s counterattack.


    5 defenders in the midfield and backcourt!


    The England team did not fight, absolutely not.


    But Phil Neville killed him. He didn''t find Owen in a pass. Instead, he passed it back to the penalty area, where Lampard unexpectedly killed it again. The ball stopped behind the Swedish defender. He wanted to chase it. It was impossible. McManaman was the closest and ran to harass the Swedish team. Melberg took a free kick and the ball came out of the sideline.


    Lampard patted his face and was annoyed by the stop just now. If he can make a good shot, pass or shoot, he will play an extremely threatening offense.


    It is a pity that he does not have Bergkamp''s ball-stopping footwork. This high-altitude spin falls down, and he rushes up at full speed to adjust the movement in a short time to perfectly unload the ball. The demand for him is indeed high.


    The Swedish team is constantly increasing the pressure of attacking forward, which has led to their midfield defense becoming a little empty. Scholes inserted in the middle after dispatching in the middle and Lampard¡¯s next step was inserted. This switched to the Swedish team. Marking defense requirements are very high, which is why they have shrunk the back line, but now, England''s full-backs are also assisting, using the lateral width, forcing the Swedish team''s defense to open, otherwise, the impact of the wing to the center will stir Their defense turned upside down.


    Rugbeck is still thinking about how to deal with it, and how the Swedish team can play a threat.


    The Swedish team wanted to rely on Ibrahimovic as the fulcrum, and then Yongberg and Larson partly penetrated the England team''s defense line. This method has not worked from the opening to the present.


    Larson and Yong Berry can create tremendous pressure on the side, but it has become very difficult to develop towards the middle.


    Lagerbeck racked his brains and thought about how to adapt.


    At this time, in the 63rd minute of the game, the England team launched another fast break. This time was assisted by the side winger Ashley Cole. He and McManaman cooperated on the left and McManaman passed After taking the ball in the halftime position, he took two steps forward and encountered Yong Berry back. Alex Sanderson defended the front. McManaman crossed the ball. Ashley Cole set the ball and went forward. .


    Alex Sanderson assisted the defense, McManaman ran to the center, Ashley Cole passed the ball back to McManaman, the poodle continued to move forward, and the ball was again in front of the back line Passed to Ashley Cole.


    This two consecutive one, the two cooperated to advance the offensive to the Swedish defense''s hinterland.


    When Ashley Cole had brought the ball to the threat zone where he could pass, Owen in the middle of the road looked for opportunities at a far point. Scholes still inserted forward and grabbed the front point. Both were on the back line of the Swedish team. Two ribs, McManaman no longer pushes forward. Instead, he runs around the outside of the penalty area. This is to ensure the layering of the offense, whether it is to capture the second offensive opportunity or the first line after the offense is turned. The harassment delayed, the England team never pushed all the midfield force to the front line, which is too dangerous. Once the attack cannot be achieved, the midfield will be very empty.


    The Swedish team was very afraid of Ashley Cole''s next possible pass and marking Scholes and Owen became the top priority.


    However, Ashley Cole knocked the ball back to the left position in front of the penalty area, this area is still McManaman!


    McManaman had the opportunity to take a long shot, but he felt that the angle was not good, Mild and Melberg on the shooting line were frightened to block, and Swensen on the other side had already ran back to the lower back position to defend, McManaman stopped the ball, turned halfway, facing the right side, making a short pass from a short distance.


    The attention of the Swedish team''s defense line looked over there, and his face suddenly changed.


    Beckham!


    Beckham came up and was not close to the side, but he had stepped into the danger zone. He stopped the ball, instead he took a step back and then made a passing gesture.


    Just when McManaman passed the ball to Beckham, Scholes and Irving, who cut into the ribs on the front line, started running. Anderson moved to this side to keep close to Owen, but just as he moved, it was found that Scholes rushed forward. He reacted and stopped to follow Scholes slowly.


    Beckham''s passing ball was not high. The moon scimitar bypassed Edman and landed at the top corner of the right side of the small penalty area, where Scholes came over to run.


    The **** head keeps the ball and shoots directly along the falling ball. It looks like the ball has only slightly changed the trajectory. If the **** head does not touch, Beckham should also hit the goal range, but he touches After a while, the cushion shot changed the trajectory, so that the goalkeeper Heideman could not react, and the ball entered from above the near corner of the goal!


    "Scholes! Scholes! England lead Sweden 2-0, this is a golden goal, a goal that England firmly holds in its hands! What about the group of death? England won This game will take the lead. The prospect of the Three Lions is extremely bright. Darkness and death are left to other teams!"


    Scholes turned and ran towards the side of the field, while pointing at Beckham, two Manchester United 92 members, teamed up to complete a wonderful goal, of course, McManaman and Ashley Cole were inseparable from On the left, he drove the offensive forward and eventually transferred to Beckham¡¯s foot, and Owen, he did not touch the ball, but his running position still played a huge role in pulling, creating a goal for Scholes. space.


    When fans in England celebrated and Swedish fans were sad, Aldridge turned and hugged with Jensen, and they let out a passionate roar.


    In the group of death, every point is crucial. Even one goal can survive, and one lost ball will die, which is so cruel.


    Aldridge celebrated the goal and turned to continue to remind the players on the court to be vigilant!


    But by this time, Audridge, who had his head up, already had stronger confidence.


    The lineup is stronger than you, the technical and tactical is stronger than you, it should win you!


    This is exactly what the Swedish coach Rugbek thought at this time.


    2:0, the Swedish team was forced into a desperate situation.


    England hasn''t touched Argentina, but the Swedish team hasn''t touched it yet.


    Seeing too many lineups that seem to be the heaviest actual record but the unsatisfactory national team, the English team not only played the strength level they should have under Aldridge, they even surpassed the expected level, which is the ability of the head coach. , Not convinced.


    Rugbeck¡¯s thinking was already messy, and he couldn¡¯t think of how to limit England.


    Especially in the case of backwardness, the more the Swedish team is attacking, the more unable to limit the opponent''s counterattack.


    The only chance is in the draw, but the England team''s strategic layout defeated Sweden. Now, in order to restore the defeat, in theory, Lagbek can''t find a way.


    The Swedish team''s offense cannot be fully rolled out, because they do not have a strong midfield support. If the well-organized organization can penetrate the England team''s defense, then the England team has already fallen into the qualifiers.


    The only countermeasure thought in Rugbeck''s mind was the last one.


    Larsson not only informed the Swedish coaching staff of his personal opinion on Aldridge''s creation of the England team, but also said the essence of Millwall''s brilliant technical and tactical system in recent years.


    This is actually very difficult to learn, because there are many technical and tactical systems that are stronger than Millwall in theory. One mouth says that everything can be said to be impeccable. The key is to implement it. It is the player and the ability of 11 players on the field. .


    Sweden has no Pirlo, no Nedved, no Ronaldinho, no... what''s the use of copying Millwall''s technical and tactical system?


    However, the defensive thinking can be used for reference. Millwall''s high pressure to snatch, the defense from the front line of the frontcourt, compress the third-line space, and obstruct the opponent''s strategy of launching the fast attack are the benefits of reference. The Swedish coaching staff did not dare to do so, the reason It is also too risky. There is no doubt that Millwall¡¯s level has surpassed the strength of all national teams in the world today. Because the selection of the national team and the time to build the system are far inferior to the club. Therefore, Millwall¡¯s defensive strength has Part of it is the transformation of offensive strength. The Swedish team does not have the strength to oppress the offensive to defend instead of attacking.


    Full transplantation is impossible, and it is adjusted according to its own situation at the appropriate time, but there is a possibility.


    This is the new adjustment made by Ragbeck when he was behind 0:2: in the frontcourt, crazy forcing!


    Before losing the second ball, the Swedish team''s defense is based on the idea of ??running back to the defensive position and setting up a defensive line.


    But they will find that the speed of the England team when it is transferred from the defense to the attack is too fast. The players in the midfield and the front run backward. Where can they catch up?


    This makes the defense passive.


    Since you can''t catch up with it, you can fight against it!


    At least it has to play a defensive role, even if it is a little bit, it is better than running back and only looking at the eyes and not working hard.


    When the Swedish team adjusted its defensive strategy, the England team made the first substitution in this game.


    "Beckham was replaced first. This substitution should be for the purpose of protecting the players. Beckham has just recovered from injury. He has not played a warm-up match before. Today in a limited 65-minute game, Beckham Mum performed well and was a key player in England''s midfielder''s offense. He also contributed an assist and passed many threats."


    Most fans in England and the locals applauded Beckham. On the end, Aldridge and Beckham gave a high-five, said nothing, and then patted Carrick''s back. Carrick came on to replace Beckham. It was Audrey. Odd hopes Carrick will help England improve control of the midfield.


    Two goals lead, he is more stable, the World Cup is not the place to be in the limelight, it is a wise choice to close it when it is good, England does not have the boldness and capital to show off the limelight.

 Chapter 819： Good start

    0:2 behind.


    The Swedish team was in a desperate situation and the coach made new tactical adjustments on the sidelines.


    Theoretically the most threatening player of the Swedish team on the court is Larson, but today he is more responsible for the frontcourt tandem, precisely because he cannot be ignored, the closer he is to the front line, the more he will be the England team. The back defense layered, focusing on restricting his play, so he withdrew to organize the offensive, hoping to cover his teammates, but the effect was not ideal.


    This is not without psychological preparation, so Larson is not too hit, just as he knows Audridge, Audridge also knows him.


    After receiving the coach''s new tactical instructions, Larson frowned, not feeling feasible.


    Anti-robbing in the frontcourt depends on the opponent''s deployment. Anti-robbing England in the frontcourt is difficult, because the Swedish team cannot form a double-team. On the one hand, they have fewer people to attack, so the anti-robbery Less, on the other hand is the formation of the England team, 4321, four backs and three backs, midfield pass cut too many points, this was too dizzy and turned to fear that I could not touch the ball.


    Larson held Ibrahimovic and looked solemnly with the young superstar of the national team.


    Ibrahimovic nodded frequently. He was also an ambitious player. Although he was more arrogant, he would naturally listen carefully to the guidance of his predecessors in front of Larson. He knew that Larson¡¯s experience was a valuable asset. In this situation, it is always beneficial to listen more. Even if the game finally loses, it does not matter. He is still young and experienced. It is all experience and intangible wealth.


    After the exchange, Ibrahimovic nodded vigorously and decided to implement Larson''s arrangement.


    From the 70th minute, the pace of the England team¡¯s attack began to slow down. The stability on the court did not mean that they would not attack, but that they ensured that the attack was patient and the passing of the midfield increased, although they did not have Pirlo. Zidane''s kind of organization master, but the formula of pass, transfer, without threats, risky pass coordination, they can play very smoothly.


    I want to penetrate the opponent''s defense through a long and medium distance with a straight plug. England does not have this ability. This is the short board of organizational talent. Therefore, their goals are played by other advantages, running, and cooperation. Changing the speed and rhythm and tearing the opponent''s formation in the overall situation require a lot of physical energy.


    Two goals lead, the English fans in the stands will not blame the team for slowing down the offensive rhythm at this moment, and the English commentators will not criticize their lack of ambition to continue scoring. Anxious?


    Aldrich stared at the progress of the game on the sidelines and analyzed the changes in each field of the field.


    The Swedish team''s countercourt in the frontcourt, he can see that at first he did not find any threats, because the England team has a lot of backcourts, as long as the ball is handled calmly, this will not be a problem.


    But after a few minutes, Aldridge suddenly found out that the two strikers of the Swedish team, Ibrahimovic and Larson, seemed to be playing a smart role in counter-robbing.


    One is true!


    When the ball is controlled by the England team in the middle of the backcourt, the two will make a defensive posture that blocks the forward pass. However, the next second, when England passes the ball to the side in the backcourt, the two talents will Immediately exposed his fangs to the side, and cooperated with the frontier to perform a partial encirclement and suppression!


    This is a smart defensive strategy and one of the essences of Millwall''s high pressure.


    You can''t force your opponents in all directions in the wide space of the frontcourt, mainly with a little harassment, to prejudge the opponent''s pass line, and then focus on the local rounds!


    Just like now, the focus of the Swedish team¡¯s anticourt in the frontcourt is not in the middle, but just blocking the forward pass of the middle. Then, when the England team passes to the side, the Swedish team pounces on that point, and inside, The most important thing is the activities of Ibrahimovic and Larson.


    Faced with this forced strategy, England''s lack of ability to organize in the backcourt began to be exposed.


    A good pass is most likely to be restricted and the pass line is predicted.


    This is determined by the player''s thinking and ability to play football.


    That''s why Millwall won''t take high pressure if he encounters Real Madrid. It''s no problem if you block Bart''s forward pass, but what if you block Zidane''s pass? You think you are blocking it. In fact, in Zidane''s view, there may be a lot of pass lines in front of you, and it is the same for Pirlo. The flat thunder-like scalpel pass will cost you a lot of pain. .


    In 2/3 of the time, as long as the defense is successful in the backcourt, the Swedish team will retreat to defend. The defender has not encountered anti-robbing pressure. At the same time, the mental pressure brought by it is different. The attack is not successful, the ball is intercepted, and there is a chance to run back to remedy, but if the ball is lost in the backcourt, there may not even be a chance to remedy. The mental pressure is naturally different.


    When the Swedish team began to use this anti-robbing strategy, the only player in the backcourt that could be absolutely calm was Southgate, but there was a problem with the full-back.


    Ashley Cole suddenly became terrified after receiving a pass from Bart.


    Ibrahimovic, who was originally in front of Bart, did not plan to grab Bart, but Bart still got the ball. The direction of his ball was to Ashley Cole. It looked very stable, but in the process of rolling the ball, the Swedish team Field triangle anti-robbing formed a connection.


    Ibrahim ran in the direction of the ball, but he certainly couldn''t run faster than the ball, but he cut off the line of Ashley Cole''s short pass back to the middle through the position and then picked up at Ashley Cole Before the ball, in front of him, Larson also rushed up, quickly rushed up!


    Ashley Cole was taken aback. He could definitely stop the ball steadily, but what about the next step?


    In front of him, the club legend Larson stared at him and wanted to pass the ball to Bart or Southgate. He was afraid of being intercepted by Ibrahimovic. In a hurry, he kicked the ball and wanted to pass the ball diagonally to Lampard.


    In fact, it doesn''t matter if he is calm enough to make a long pass horizontally, even if the big foot is released.


    But his pass to Lampard also fell into the Swedish team''s anti-robbing prejudgment. After all, the distance is close, and the surrounding shot points are not blocked. Either goalkeeper Seaman or Lampard.


    Yong Berry steals the ball before snatching from Lampard, and looking at the speed of his start and the momentum of counter-robbing, he is clearly prepared.


    This is exactly the anti-robbing strategy explained by Larson and Ibrahimovic. They can only focus on local forces and must not be robbed blindly. England has no creative midfielder. They are not afraid of taking the ball in the backcourt, whether it is Bart or Cary. Ke, or Lampard, the pass is quite satisfactory. It is not difficult to predict their delivery. The key is whether you are prepared and whether your teammates can work together.


    Yong Berry took two steps forward after stealing the ball. Butt moved past the assist defense. Ashley Cole saw the ball lost and suddenly lost his mind. He rushed directly to intercept Yong Berry, probably to make up for his crime. mistake.


    Yongberg quickly pushed the ball forward, and Ashley Cole only woke up when he saw the other pass, and behind him, a figure flew by like a wind.


    Larson!


    The fox-like Larson responded to Yong Baili''s straight pass and directly entered the penalty area. He will face Southgate directly!


    The two old friends who are also the legends of Millwall played the most crucial matchup in the battle at this time!


    Southgate didn''t force Larson to grab. He was guessing Larsen''s next move. Is it an inside shot? still is?


    Larson didn''t go to the front to break through Southgate. He generally took the ball and took a step towards the bottom line. Southgate followed the defense while pointing his hand behind him. He knew who was in the middle, Ibrahimovic. !


    Larsson suddenly kicked back the ball as he approached the bottom line, followed by a cross, Southgate turned and saw Ferdinand cling to Ibrahimovic, there is no chance for Ibrahimovic to take the ball, but, Larson this The ball was not passed to Ibrahimovic!


    Yong Berry took the ball away before Bart fell to the ground to destroy the attack. After taking a step forward, he already entered the penalty area, followed by a heavy bombardment of the door, the angle was extremely tricky!


    Seaman flew to the extreme, but he couldn''t stop this shot from scoring into the far post of the goal!


    Southgate was expressionless, Larson had not passed him, he also blocked the pass of Larson and Ibrahimovic, if Larson hesitated to delay for a second or two, Ashley Cole would return After chasing into place, this time, the mistake made by defender Ashley Cole this time on the back line caused the instability of the defensive midfielder.


    It''s too fast. In fact, Yong Berry steals the ball, passes, advances, speeds up to the fastest, catches the ball, wades the ball, and shoots. This is completed in less than 5 seconds.


    "The Swedish team broke the goal by Yongberg. They recovered one. This was a mistake made by the England team. The 21-year-old Ashley Cole passed the ball and the Swedish team quickly launched a fast break in the frontcourt. Yong Bailey and Larson played for the Premier League giants lightning cooperation, with 10 minutes left, the Swedish team is back to life!"


    Ibrahimovic was closest to the goal, he went to pick up the ball, and then ran back, the Swedish team did not go to celebrate.


    Shedberg jumped up in excitement and immediately waved his hand to encourage players to make persistent efforts.


    Aldridge originally planned to say something to the players on the field, but after seeing Southgate take the initiative to speak to Ashley Cole, he still stood still on the sidelines, as if the lost ball seemed irrelevant.


    "Whether it''s a pass, a clearance, no matter what you do, you have to be calm. There''s no need to panic. Look, the boss is not at all concerned on the sidelines. Ashley, the game is not over yet, get up."


    Southgate¡¯s words relieved Ashley Cole of the great psychological pressure.


    When he first entered the World Cup, he suddenly faced pressure on the field. He was indeed a little panicked. Just as England could be caught off guard by Sweden. The Swedish team also led by the old demon Larson, making the young England players panic in the frontcourt.


    After the score was rewritten, Aldridge made a second substitution, replacing McManaman with Joe Cole.


    The atmosphere at the scene became very tense again.


    However, Aldridge was not too nervous. The ball just now was not a tactical problem. It can only be said that England is not strong enough. The strength of the strong has always included technology, body and spirit.


    It was the England team¡¯s own mistakes that gave the opponent a chance, not how strong the opponent was and caught England¡¯s bruise.


    As long as you avoid making mistakes again, your destiny is still in your own hands. Moreover, as time goes by, the chances of the England team should be more.


    The Swedish team''s goal made the coaching staff think that their tactics worked, so they ordered the frontcourt to fight back more aggressively!


    After 5 minutes, the Swedish team failed in an attack. After Ibrahimovic¡¯s passing on the front line was cut off by Ferdinand, the Swedish team immediately launched an anti-robbing. Southgate dealt with the ball more stable. He took the ball without panic. Pass to Carrick, while pointing the direction of the frontcourt.


    Carrick stopped the ball and turned, before passing the ball to Scholes before Svenson came to the fore. Mild threw too much. Scholes directly stopped the ball and turned to use the rhythm difference to wipe it out.


    Scholes took the ball forward, with Lampard rushing up next to him, Joe Cole pulled to the side, and Irving pressed the back line all the way forward.


    The Swedish team''s countercourt failed in the frontcourt, and the England team''s fast-breaking frontcourt attack was menacing!


    Scholes drove the ball forward, making a two-on-one with Lampard in front of Alex Sanderson, and then handed the ball to Owen on the penalty line.


    At this moment, Owen doesn''t seem to dare to squander such a golden opportunity. His state needs to be adjusted, but he can''t force it, so he thought about how to deal with the ball before receiving the ball.


    Backing against Anderson, he was almost shaky by the opponent''s small movements, but before falling, he made the ball back to Scholes.


    Scholes stepped the ball diagonally, swayed the angle, volleyed, and no one was harassing and marking him. This ball shot was very confident. I saw the ball rushing into the dead end of the goal against the turf!


    England 3:1 Sweden!

 Chapter 820： Strict governance

    Scholes, who scored twice, screamed rare and rushed to the sidelines.


    England fans cheered for him, the coaching staff also rushed out and shouted.


    "Scholes helped England to secure the victory and left the Swedish team with less than 5 minutes. As long as England did not make mistakes, they would have no chance! In the death group, every point is precious, and England can make it in the first group. The game scored 3 points, which undoubtedly laid a very good foundation for the group to qualify."


    "Compared to the current score, I think the changes Hall made for the England team may cause another big storm. Like, he started to let 442 into the grave with a 3 midfield formation in the Premier League. The Premier League team , Almost no team dared to play 442 when they met Millwall, and if it did, it would be a terrible loss. Now, Hall uses 4321, which is actually 4 midfielder, Joe Cole replaced McManaman. There is a lot of freedom, and when attacking in the middle, Scholes, Lampard, Carrick, their coordination speed, the opponent can''t stop it, this is the strong foundation of England, I don''t know which team Absolutely restrict the current England, unless it is the kind of opponent with a very strong offensive firepower and a collection of masters. For example, our next opponent, Argentina, who persistently plays offensive football."


    The Swedish team kicked off the middle lap, and Ibrahimovic stood in front of the ball and asked Larson: "Henrick, what now?"


    Ibrahimovic suddenly felt that instead of listening to the coach, it was better to listen to Larson. The coach had to recover a ball. The coach asked them to work harder. This time, the pressure before the midfield was severe and the emptiness of the field was countered by England. Lost one.


    Larson said nothing, pointing behind Ibrahimovic, Ibrahimovic turned around and found that the Swedish team was replaced, the head coach replaced him.


    Change to the Anderson who wandered in AC Milan and Newcastle United and returned to Sweden.


    In the process of substitutions, Larson stepped on the ball alone. After a little leisure, he looked at the meticulous Aldridge standing on the sidelines, and his heart was bitter.


    Playing England, playing England led by Aldridge, he has a sense of heaviness. To play against England, he must first have extreme patience, to make the game boring, boring, unbearable. To put it bluntly, it is consumption!


    Never be excited, if you are excited to kill, the price is to lose the ball.


    This is the conclusion he got from empathy. In Millwall, if their opponents dared to open and close the game with them, they basically died very badly. For example, the La Liga doubles who shocked them against them, Even though the England team is definitely not as strong as Millwall, Larsson believes that Aldridge, who is good at tolerance and poor grasping rhythm, will definitely bring this to the extreme, because Millwall is coming this way, be patient At that time, Aldridge did not have any master style, he just could bear it, just like a spring, compressed to the extreme, you can''t crush the spring, and when the spring explodes, the rebound force is absolutely amazing.


    Shedberg and Lagerbeck were helpless at this time, especially Lagerbeck, who always kept a notebook to record what was on it. At the end of the game, his pen was just consciously and hardly poked and poked on the notebook. Through the paper, as if stuck in his own soul.


    by.


    In England this breakout, how to break the position battle?


    Three midfielders, plus Scholes who was a midfielder when returning to defense.


    This is not a bus, because it does not stop in the penalty area, but it is more like a maze. As long as the Swedish players pass the halftime, the criss-cross England players are connected like a wall blocking them from finding the way. England goal road.


    In the end, you can only take the sky line.


    But long pass Chong Hang, please, that is England''s old business. If it was really bombed by Chong Hang, England wouldn''t even play in the remaining two group matches. Put on a suit and go back to China soon.


    In the final 7 minutes of stoppage time, the Swedish team actually only launched three long-pass attacks. For the rest of the time, the England team was in possession of the ball.


    When the whole game ended, fans in England in the stands burst into deafening applause.


    The live-streaming shot aimed at the English players who celebrated with punches in the field, and was also looking for the figure of Audridge.


    The three lion commanders did not smile after winning the game. They walked seriously to shake hands with the two Swedish coaches, raised their hands and applauded to the stands above their heads, and then walked into the player tunnel.


    In an interview after the game, Aldridge wrote lightly: "We won a key game, which can ease our psychological pressure and better meet the next two group matches. Ashley Cole Mistakes? Well, this is his first World Cup, the first international competition, he is a little nervous, indeed mistakes, it does not matter, I will not criticize him, but I will praise him, he performed well today, worthy of our trust , Scholes and Lampard have goals, but they are not separate heroes. The victory belongs to the team. No one is special. The boys on the field are all heroes of England. They let me and England fans watch With the hope of going on, well, we now have to forget this victory and focus our attention on the next game."


    After the interview, Aldridge left the Saitama World Cup Stadium and got on the bus, waiting for the players to gather in excitement. He didn''t think how happy he was, this will affect the team.


    The originally ecstatic and even ecstatic England team, when boarding the bus, saw the Aldridge sitting on the left side of the first position on the left hand side of the window and contemplatively, he could not help but suppress some joy, his head Also became sober.


    They have no time to celebrate and immerse themselves in the joy of victory.


    The horn of the next battle will soon sound.


    Moreover, the next game is the most eye-catching focus of the England World Cup.


    British-Afghan war!


    In the middle, only 5 days.


    On his journey back to the Tokyo Hotel, Aldridge announced his next plan.


    After returning to the hotel, the team will recover from fatigue. There will be team doctors and coaches to supervise. The next morning will be restorative training, afternoon vacation, and then prepare for the next three days, the fifth day, against Argentina!


    The news made the players very happy.


    After Aldridge took over the national team, the national team got rid of some of the swaggering manners, but Aldridge will not be uncomfortable.


    The England team is so famous that Aldridge remembers how extravagant and eye-catching the England tour was when the World Cup was held in Asia.


    In the original history, the England team dragged the family and took the plane to leave England. At that time, there were countless beautiful women seeing off. Various non-milk girls cheered. Other national teams had to prepare for the game early, or they came to Asia to adapt to the environment.


    What about England? First go to Dubai for a week, and then do not go to Japan, first go to South Korea to take a round of scenery, wait for almost time, and then come to the Japanese division.


    They are not going to play in the World Cup, they are more like going around the world on a star tour, and even the defending champion France is not as popular as England¡¯s popularity in Asia.


    As a fan, you will feel that England is too **** windy. Beckham¡¯s family and coach Eriksson share luxury first class. Other players can only stay in economy class. They are still in the golden tourist destination of Dubai. In a circle, grass, who doesn''t envy?


    But as a coach, Aldridge only thinks that this **** is not like a team, who is dragging his mouth, and can also see the "Sun" sent by the airport to wear a luxury three-girl team in a bikini, and then listen to it. With England fans shouting "Bring the World Cup home", is this the team? How is this different from a circus?


    Therefore, Aldridge, who can not be called an iron fist, still shows his rigorous side. When preparing for the battle, he isolates the outside world, and when he leaves, he seems to be in a hurry and mysteriously.


    This is not special. Aldrich also has a family who came to Asia and still did not come with the team. Does anyone lack travel expenses or airfare?


    Oh, maybe there is, Lu Xiaofa.


    But that was clearly outside the scope of Aldridge''s consideration.


    When you come to Japan, the players want to get together with their families, yes, but the time is decided by Aldridge.


    For example, after the game is over today, the players can reunite with their families at night. After the restorative training tomorrow morning, they will have more than half a day for them. If they want to go out and go around, pay attention to safety and time.


    Returning to the hotel where I stayed in Tokyo, Aldridge handed over the rest to the coaching staff and team doctors. They will supervise the players in the last game for fatigue recovery. This is a necessary procedure to help physical and physical recovery. The restaurant is also ready. Food adds energy.


    Aldrich returned to his room and did not plan to go out at night, but stayed in the hotel to rest. He would wait for his family to arrive, so he went to take a shower first.


    The hotel was booked by the England team. There were also paparazzi who wanted to be mixed in. Therefore, the hotel security has been strengthened a lot. Even if the player''s family comes here, they must first go through a registration review and confirm in the England team register. The problem will be released.


    Later, a lot of paparazzi have gathered outside the hotel. They are constantly shooting pictures of England internationals and their families going in and out. The most notable ones are naturally Beckham and Victoria, and their children.


    When Arthur and Amelia brought Burt and Earl from the Saitama World Cup Stadium to the hotel, they happened to meet the Beckham family and the children greeted each other. Then, the Arthurs took two The grandson was led to Aldridge¡¯s room by the hotel staff.


    Aldrich put on loose shorts and a T-shirt after bathing. When he opened the door and saw the Arthurs and his two sons, his face showed a very gentle smile.


    "father."


    Earl rushed into the room, Aldridge bent down to lift him directly, and Earl took off the toad mirror and put it directly on Aldridge''s face.


    "Oh, handsome?"


    "Handsome! It''s a pity worse than me."


    "Hah, who did you learn your stinky beauty from?"


    ...

 Chapter 821： British-Arab Wars

    On the same day that England defeated Sweden 3-1, the same group of opponents Argentina scored a 1-0 victory over Nigeria with the God of War Batty.


    South Korea''s Paraguay scored 2:2 against South Africa and Spain beat Slovenia 3-1.


    After the first round of Group F in England, the focus will be on the next match day.


    From the day the lottery results came out, in the battle of the long-anticipated rivals, England vs Argentina, the three lions and the Pampas Eagles peaked, and entered the countdown.


    Aldridge stayed in the hotel without going out. Both Arthur and the Amelia couple had made a circle in South Korea and Japan these days, and returned to their rooms early to take a rest.


    Aldrich and Burt and Earl were together. The father and son ate in the room, bathed the two little guys, and then played video games together. They lay in bed to tell them stories and listen to the interesting things they said.


    The next morning, when Arthur and Amelia entered his room and saw the scene in the room, they laughed dumbly.


    Aldrich lay on the bed and slept loudly, still wearing shorts and T-shirts, Bert reclined on Aldrich¡¯s shoulders, and Earl lay on Aldrich¡¯s stomach, the father and son did not sleep enough It''s elegant, but it makes Arthur and Amelia show a kind color, and the old couple took the camera and took this scene.


    Contemporary information is already very developed.


    When I thought that when the native England won the championship, the headlines of the major British newspapers after winning the championship had nothing to do with England''s championship, basically the royal family and political news.


    But now, after England won Sweden in the first battle, Fleet Street went crazy and praised the Three Lions.


    In the major newspapers, only the serious "Times" was analyzing the game rationally, arguing that England''s strong lineups in the midfield and changes in the offensive rhythm.


    And the "Sun", which has no ethics and bottom line, directly played "The Three Lions Show the Winning Capability", which is undoubtedly a defeat!


    Former hatreds and hatreds have been constantly being turned out again. The media wars of the Anglo-Afghan wars are even more splendid than the World Cup. This is also the media''s old business, which magnifies and intensifies the focus events indefinitely.


    Under the leadership of grandparents, Burt and Earl continued to travel, and although they were a little bit reluctant, the two little guys could understand that Aldridge could not withdraw if he wanted to lead the team to play, and gave Aldrich before leaving Qi cheer.


    The England team was all normal during the post-match holiday period. The players who were under Adriatic for one and a half years were following the rules. They did not receive a separate interview and did not create topics.


    The World Cup''s battle is getting more and more prosperous, and the flames are raging.


    On the first match day of Group C, a team not only shocked the world, but also gave Aldridge a chill in his heart.


    The Samba Corps first battle against the Xingyue Corps. The score of 4:2 allows people to see the powerful firepower of the 3R combination, as well as the ambition to crush and crush everything.


    The reason why this game made Aldridge feel bad, because he did not see Rivaldo¡¯s crappy performance, did not see the Brazil team difficultly beat Turkey by penalty kick, he saw Ronaldinho¡¯s madness of shooting three passes show!


    The aliens only recovered in the second half of the season. He is the focal figure, but not as dazzling as Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho is the creator, the alien is the terminator, plus the ghost talent Rivaldo, 3R combination World Cup The first show won no suspense, the aliens scored, Rivaldo also scored, Ronaldinho not only scored, but also staged an assist hat trick!


    In the World Cup, the stage of the king, the heroes don¡¯t ask where they come from. Whether the heroes are long or young, countless Brazilian fans expect the Samba team to reach the top of the world in one go and let their team emblem embroider the fifth star. At the same time, Ronaldinho wears green Yin crown, he looks, has everything the king.


    Not to mention that he is only 22 years old now. If the Samba Legion could defeat the Gaul Rooster four years ago in France, the aliens would undoubtedly wear the crown. At that time, he was under 22 years old. For Brazilian geniuses, At the age of 22, it is the name that moves the world, it is the age to kill the Quartet, and it is the age to stir the world.


    For the Samba Corps, what is lacking in the United States may be that they scored four goals but lost two. Behind the gorgeous and dazzling offensive firepower, the harsh line of defense seems a bit cruel. After all, this is their first game. .


    Apart from Asian fans, I am afraid that no one will pay attention to another game. Costa Rica defeated China 2-0. For Chinese football, the dream of breaking Costa Rica and Turkey¡¯s promotion to the top 16 can be directly declared to say goodbye to the World Cup, just like losing to Germany Saudi Arabia with eight goals.


    The first performance of the popular Italian championship was satisfactory, with a small victory over Ecuador.


    Another day later, the two hosts appeared one after another. The Taiji Tiger Korea Lectra Poland made the road to promotion seemingly bright. The golden generation of Japan and the European Red Devil Belgium fought a battle.


    It''s the son of Liberty that the United States team turned 3:2 to turn over the Portuguese led by Figo. After France, another big team was hit by big news.


    Mr. Golden Ball was criticized for his poor condition, and Portugal fell to the bottom from the expectations of standing tall, because another game in the same group scored the winner.


    "In 1982, Britain and Argentina competed for the sovereignty of the Isle of Man..."


    "In 1986, Maradona''s hand of God..."


    "In 1998, Beckham red card, Simone performance..."


    In 2002, England and Argentina, the World Cup revisited the old hate!


    Okay.


    Overwhelmingly, before the Anglo-Arab wars, as long as the media concerned about this game, no matter which country, they are tirelessly repeating the history which is basically understood by fans. The media is creating momentum to intensify the contradiction between England and Argentina. The attention of the game is higher. Moreover, Argentina is already a hot topic to win the championship. In addition, England won the first game and it is more convincing than Argentina. Naturally, this game, Mars hit the earth, and the enemy met.


    The game will be held tomorrow. Aldridge did not hold a pre-match preparation meeting. Instead, he went to a pre-match press conference. He brought Beckham with him. This is a requirement of the FA. I hope that England¡¯s local stars can In the World Cup, he showed his face so that the FA can privately sign sponsorship contracts with some international companies.


    Beckham is the largest cash cow in England, always hidden by Aldridge to cover people, which line?


    Aldridge doesn''t sweep the face of the FA. He feels that letting Beckham come out to face the outside world is good for tomorrow''s game.


    Because, Beckham waited for this day, it should have been four years!


    The press conference in Argentina is also today, but coach Bielsa is present alone.


    However, Argentina still played psychological warfare, and Simone was interviewed separately.


    Simone talked about the 98-year-old Beckham red card in the interview and said frankly: "I tripped him at the time, and then the two of us fell. When I tried to stand up, Beckham kicked from behind I just took advantage of him. I think in the situation at that time, every player would use it. In some cases, the referee will punish you with a red card, and sometimes not. Unfortunately, Beckham was fined at the time, leaving the England team with one player missing."


    Simone also said: "Despite the political factors, our team is looking forward to meeting England as soon as possible and then defeating them. Every time our two teams play will be an exciting game."


    Simone''s confession became the headline. Many British media slammed Simone, like a moral trial, or to protect the calf, to support Beckham.


    However, when Aldridge was asked about this incident by a reporter at a pre-match press conference, there was no change in what he said in interviews after the World Cup four years ago.


    "The point is not what Simone did, but what David did. David did an act that gave the referee enough reason to draw the red card. Then, the referee pulled out the red card. There is no dispute. Simone exaggerated. Performance? That¡¯s Simone¡¯s thing. I believe that in four years, David has grown up and matured. This is the case on the football field. Young people will make mistakes, but successful people will learn from their mistakes and make themselves stronger. , I¡¯m glad that David did this. He is the pride of England, because every one of us makes mistakes, but not everyone can treat mistakes correctly. Simone is still talking about 98 years, just continue to talk about it, I don¡¯t think there¡¯s anything worth discussing in the past."


    After talking, Aldridge glanced at Beckham with a smile, and Beckham, who had Mosigan hairstyles that started to become popular all over the world, smiled lightly.


    He is a player with a high quotient. He has made mistakes before, but it doesn¡¯t mean he will make them again. Simone can exaggerate his performance four years ago. Now playing psychological warfare, he just wants to anger him again, waiting for him to play again. Going against him, or being irritated by Simone again. If Beckham will make a mistake, he doesn¡¯t understand the intentions of Simone or Argentina, then he is alive, and it is estimated that he will not reach the height of the superstar.


    The media is obviously more interested in Beckham, because this is the first time that the fans have faced the media alone since they came to Asia. Even if the last game is over, the players interviewed after the game are also Southgate.


    Beckham could not avoid the topic of four years ago, to say why the England team is internally united, in fact, it is also related to the style of Aldridge started six years ago.


    Six years ago, he launched a scolding battle for Southgate and Fleet Street.


    Four years ago, although he did not protect Beckham, he also said that the media should be more tolerant. As he said today, he believed that Beckham could learn from the lessons and become stronger, and then become an important force of the Three Lions. .


    Two years ago, he started to defend Phil Neville again.


    People are doing it, whether the sky is watching, the ghost knows, but everyone around them can see it.


    So Aldridge is the coach of the national team, the players want to sell his life, of course, without Aldrich''s coaching ability to base, and can be under his guard to guard his own general, they all know that even if the sky falls, Austrian Derich will not hide, he will be the first to meet them and protect them!


    Beckham always smiled when he spoke, and seemed very free and easy.


    "After the 1998 World Cup was the darkest time in my life, I think I have learned how to be a human being from that matter. In the future, when I encounter this situation again, I will know how to deal with it. After the incident, it was really a difficult time for me, but now that this thing has passed, I am rejuvenated. I now think of all the opponents of the World Cup, and I am looking forward to defeating them all."


    Beckham¡¯s words, combined with his expression, seemed to have the demeanor of a public idol. As for whether he thought this in his heart, no one knew, but it was enough to satisfy the media, at least not just photos, but his words as News content has added selling points.

 Chapter 822： Argentinas "war"

    On the eve of the Anglo-African War, the media not only reviewed the history of British and Argentine grievances. Against the two teams that are about to meet, Argentina''s 3313 offensive football seems to be frightening, and England is the most concerned about the top scorer: Irving .


    Fleet Street made a worrying voice, feeling that although England won Sweden in the last game, Irving¡¯s condition was clearly at a glance, and England''s alternative striker, no one was available!


    Alan Smith?


    He didn''t play as a striker last season at Leeds United.


    Rooney?


    Sorry, this person was automatically ignored by the outside world.


    Faced with the media''s doubts about Owen''s status and the concerns of the England team''s front line.


    Aldridge wrote lightly: "You only saw Irving missed a few opportunities, but did not see the three goals in the last game in England. Irving made important contributions. Of course, I have no intention of discussing these with you, regardless of What do you say, my answer is only one: Owen is the best striker in England, as long as he has no injuries, he is an absolute starter."


    Journalists from all over the world have different thoughts. Some people think that Aldridge is a dead duck, while others think that Aldridge is inspiring Owen. However, some people worry whether this will bring psychological pressure to Owen.


    After the pre-match press conference, Aldridge and Beckham returned to the hotel where they stayed. They walked into the hotel''s business meeting room and officially held the pre-match preparation meeting for tomorrow''s game.


    All the players and coaches in England sat on both sides of the long table in the conference room. On the large projection screen, assistant coach Jensen began to play the slides.


    "I know what tomorrow¡¯s game means to us, England vs Argentina, this will definitely not be a special game, but, my job is only in the arena, political factors, I will not consider it, regardless of the fans¡¯ expectations What, for me, there is only victory, nothing else, so we have to keep all our thoughts in the arena, and only then can we beat Argentina."


    Aldridge took off his suit while talking. His tone was not heavy, but he attracted everyone''s attention. The players listened attentively.


    Aldrich walked to the projection screen and continued to say while walking: "I will not say that we can win as long as we are desperate. During my eight years of coaching, I have met countless opponents. I¡¯m all desperately trying to fight with my team, but the team that can win through desperately is not in my memory. Perhaps, I forgot. Because I always believe that mental power is just a kind of assistance, just like you I am eager to defeat Argentina, and I am full of fighting spirit. Isn¡¯t Argentina going to be half weaker than your fighting spirit? Therefore, it is not the momentum and the will that determine the victory and defeat, but the confrontation of team skills and tactics. I am very glad that at this point, we have Natural advantages."


    The players looked at each other, drumming.


    Tomorrow is duel against Argentina, and in front of them, Argentina is a very powerful team. The qualifiers dominate South America. Not to mention, the gorgeous offensive just looks at the number of goals to make people scalp numb, plus the first game Argentina It also won Nigeria 1:0. It seems that the Pampas Eagle is powerful and stable, and the 3313 offensive formation, which is magnified by the media and seems to be mysterious and crazy, is inspiring.


    Aldrich stood in front of the projection screen, facing the player, and said quietly: "I will not use the remarks in the British newspaper to cheer you up, let you blindly think that Argentina''s 3313 is really a change from the Netherlands. 343 is lagging behind the times, or what is the origin of WM earlier, and contempt for Argentine coach Bielsa is just picking up his teeth, it is all nonsense, and the game with tomorrow will not help.


    The people of England will nod their heads, such as Southgate, who has been stunned by Aldridge. Fleet Street mocks Argentina. It is blind, such as what did the Dutch 343 ten years ago let Belsa pick up again and pretend to be crazy. Chapman¡¯s WM tactical revolution came from Gubersa¡¯s ancestral ancestors today. This is a kind of Ah Q spirit. It is blind, hypocritical, and impractical. If you take these seriously as confidence, you will really laugh.


    Aldrich turned around and shot it on the projection screen, said lightly: "Look here, this is the tactical formation of Argentina won the World Cup in 1978. The coach who led the team to win the championship is Menotti, he is great, and Menotti has spread to the present In a sense, Bielsa is the successor and developer of Menottiism. In the era of full attack and defensive popularity in football, Menotti pursued offensive football, beautiful football, pay attention to The football philosophy of oppression and ball control, in that year, defeated the Netherlands, and both teams that advocated offensive came to the end, and the Argentine champion won the crown and the curtain fell."


    Large screen graphics change, Aldridge continued: "This is the second tactical formation that Argentina won the championship after eight years. People remember Maradona, and they also remember another football philosophy in Argentina, Bira. Erdoism, this is a conservative, rigid, utilitarian football philosophy, these two football philosophy is sharply opposed, Argentina in 78 years is more like a team, and Argentina in 86 years is around a player Building, so Maradona can become almost the only memory of the summer of 86, and 78 years, also won the championship, and for the first time in history Argentina won, but no one can reach the height of Maradona."


    Speaking of this, Aldridge said: "Tell you this, so that you have a clear understanding, what we face, don''t simply understand it as having Batty, Belon, Ortega, Simon Nigeria, etc., who''s who''s team, we didn''t encounter an Argentine who bombarded 3313 or something, we encountered, now there is gradually a voice talking about Belsaism, in fact, the continuation of the Menotti genre Argentina, a country that has won the championship in an era of offensive football through this philosophy."


    After this remark, the audience was suddenly bright and their thinking jumped out of a small pattern and rose to a higher level.


    This is the so-called technical and tactical confrontation and duel, rather than the details of who limits and who crushes.


    A successful coach may not be able to establish a football philosophy. At this point, Aldridge is not good. He is touted by the outside world as a master, but there are still thousands of miles from the creation of a football philosophy. There is no such person in the contemporary era, Ferguson is not, Wenger is not, Lippi is not, Capello is not, the most modern coach is standing on the shoulders of giants, even if it is Van Gaal¡¯s offensive football concept, 20 Years ago, Cruyff, who is not more authoritative than Michels?


    Of course, modern football has been developed for hundreds of years. At this time, it is no longer a "famine era". It is more difficult to open a school than it was thirty years ago and fifty years ago.


    Even in the future of the original history, the extreme opposition of Guardiola and Mourinho in UEFA can almost be said to be a confrontation between Menotiism and Bilardoism, although they do not have half of the Argentine football philosophy The relationship between the teachers and the team, but the kind of ball-holding oppression of the beautiful offensive and the conservative stereotype details of the victory, the sharpness is exactly the same as the "war" in Argentina football.


    Argentine football itself is also swinging in these two football philosophies, why? Because these two football philosophies have won the world championship for Argentina, just like the historic championship trophy brought by England''s 442, it will have such a far-reaching impact. To reopen the glorious road of the sages.


    Some Argentine fans will always say that Argentina has abandoned its own style at certain times and has not insisted on offensive football and passion football. As everyone knows, Argentina itself has a conservative and utilitarian football philosophy, so the 90 World Cup can see Argentina blocking at all costs Putting a bus in the penalty area to stop the crushing of the German chariot, if it is not Waller''s fall, perhaps Bilardoism will usher in another victory.


    After that, Argentina sometimes leaned towards Menottiism and sometimes Biraldoism. At the World Cup, there were such wonderful teams with more than 20 passes and scored goals. There were also boring and boring big-name games that were difficult to win, not Argentina. What has been abandoned is that they have these two contradictory football genes themselves.


    Taking the 10-year World Cup in South Africa as an example, the responsibility for the crash in Argentina is not played by the players, but for coach Maradona, it is not how bad the coaching level of Maradona is. It is the combination of the angel and the devil. , Ultimately unable to suppress self nature.


    What made him brilliant and made him go to the altar was Bilardoism, so he coached Argentina, he wanted to dominate the world with the core of the 86-year philosophy, because Argentina has a Messi, one looks to the outside world The closest successor to him, but Maradona¡¯s adventurous and radical personality prevented him from doing absolute utilitarianism. Two extreme opposites of philosophy eventually collapsed in a wave of indecision, and the jade was burned. There is also a trip to Argentina¡¯s South Africa World Cup.


    Many Argentine players picked up the teaching post after retiring, and their style is very distinct, and their characteristics are very distinctive, because if they are not followers of Menotiism, they are believers of Bilardoism. For example, Argentina¡¯s current lineup international Pochettino, also There was a huge impact on Simone who was subversive and shocked. Simone and Belsa have an extraordinary relationship. Now he is a follower of Belsa. Belsa instilled him with a majestic football concept. However, after the World Cup of Korea and Japan, Simone Realizing that Bielsa''s depiction is only a mirror of flowers and waters, ten years later, when he shakes the European football at Atletico Madrid, he becomes an outright Bilaldoist, and beauty is no match for practicality.


    The projected image finally became the Argentine they will meet tomorrow, 3313, or simply 343.


    The crowd of players raised their necks and their eyes became dignified.


    Aldrich remarked: "Menotiism is pursuing a kind of atmospheric creativity, while Bilardo is careful to pay attention to every detail. Why do I say that we have an innate advantage? Because Belsa continues Mei Notti tactical master, he is too ideal and too romantic. He is not pursuing others, but he is bowing to reality. I, England, are bowing. You should be able to understand that we are walking in a pragmatic way On the road, and Argentina, what are they pursuing? In the pursuit of ruling an era, there is a storm of fame and history beyond the engraving of the name on the championship trophy! Unfortunately, I think this is too ideal. It is not twenty years ago. Thirty years ago, it was an era in which tactics were almost secret. It was not an era where creativity could come out of nowhere with your efforts. Such a pursuit has made Argentina lose its reality-oriented mindset, and this is our advantage."


    Aldridge''s remarks were absolutely unashamed.


    Yes, he bowed his head, he had to make England shrink back to fight back, and had to make England sometimes look a bit like a strong team, without the atmosphere of a strong team, without the dominance of a strong team, but, reality It was England who had no confidence to pursue that illusory power.


    Who can''t dream?


    But open your eyes, the reality is still in front of you.


    How difficult is it for the offensive football to conquer the world?


    Menotism only led Argentina to win the championship once, and when thinking of offensive football, it must be inseparable from the Netherlands of Tulips, and they are only uncrowned kings!


    Aldridge is just a layman. He wants a champion. He believes that his players are also laymen. It is more realistic to be a champion trophy than to create a history of innovative philosophy.


    As for the Brazilian victory in the original history in 2002, is it a victory offensive football? It''s hard to say, have they ever been tested by Europe''s top teams? Is the loss of the soul of the German team that Barak missed?

 Chapter 823： Flame and sea water

    The players of the England team understood Aldridge''s words, and through a verbal analysis, Argentina was no longer mysterious in their eyes.


    Beckham raised his hand and asked: "Coach, you said that offensive football pursues an atmospheric creation. We can''t do it. I won''t refute this. I believe we all agree, but I want to know that there are Who can do it? Just talking about the national team, not the club, Millwall should have done this in the past few years."


    People are realistic, and it is meaningless to stubbornly fight for the benefits of tongues.


    England is lack of talents, and it has no advantage over other teams. What Argentina is pursuing seems to be that there are many teams in Europe, such as Italy and Spain.


    Aldrich thought slightly for a few seconds and shook his head: "These have nothing to do with our tomorrow''s game, the discussion is meaningless."


    However, a team emerged in his mind, a national team with three crowns in the next four years: Spain.


    The World Cup champion will be born in four years.


    But to say that in a style that subversively won the sensational championship in football, only Spain in the first ten years and the latter ten years, this is an atmospheric creativity that revolutionized football aesthetics and created an era before that. Who would hang the boring data on ball control rate as if it were a law of physics? The impact behind this has caused the world to discuss, research, imitate, target, and seem to have detonated a war, and few other World Cup champions can rarely do this.


    Fans will fall in love with Argentina, because Argentina is attacking, attacking insanely, or that, for teams that recklessly play offensive football, it is difficult to lack a suitor.


    But why is there an existence like Italy? Can defend be regarded as an art in pursuit, even if the world is talking about Italian anti-football, passive football, they still go on firmly without changing their face, even if they have a large number of talented offensive players, defense is still their first consideration?


    This is the gap between dream and reality, and the difference between dream chaser and sane man.


    Aldridge turned sideways, the formation on the finger projection, said: "Argentina''s tactics are based on offensive football. Bielsa gave up the amazing talent of Riquelme in pursuit of speed. Oh, maybe some of you did not Heard him. He used to be a champion member of the World Youth Championship, and he was also the Argentine footballer for the past two years, and the South American footballer last year. Also, Bielsa was firmly on the striker line to make Batty and Crespo rotate, also in pursuit of Speed. However, there is a big premise. If you are thinking now, you can guess what it is."


    As an offensive player, Irving blurted out: "Space!"


    Aldridge snapped his fingers and said, "Yes, space. With space, speed is the biggest advantage. Without space, speed advantage cannot be used. They take the initiative to attack. We base ourselves on defense. We will not give them attack space. Minimize their speed advantage!"


    In fact, this is also a key problem encountered by Argentina in this World Cup. Audric combined with the video of the game and said to the players: "Look, in the last game, Argentina played Nigeria, before Batty broke the goal through the header, Argentina¡¯s speed advantage did not play out at all, because Nigeria was conservative. Argentina only had two-footed sports shots in the penalty area. Other sports shots came from long-range shots. The threat fell seriously. Only after they took the lead, Nigeria finally took a big pressure. Upwards, Argentina''s speed advantage came into play in the counter-attack, hitting a shot in the penalty area of ??the second foot of the game. It was a counter-attack that completely dumped the defensive player. This is what I want to tell you Yes, techniques and tactics, we restrain them!"


    Aldrich instills tactical arrangements for his players, and he has never been untargeted. To convince the players, he has to talk about ideas and make sense. It¡¯s not just nonsense.


    This is also a flaw in Argentina. Belsa is still too ideal. 3313, theoretically point-to-point. This formation has changed a lot, and it is confident to break through each line one by one, but no opponent will compete with you at a balanced level. Nigeria, Sweden In this way, England can do this without being a strong team face, but a classic front waist like Riquelme, a position that breaks through intensive defenses may have a magical pass, but Bielsa does not want him, preferring to use in European players, Belon, Aimar.


    Reluctance to play the double forwards in India is also a way to reduce the position of the local defenders who crush the dense defensive center.


    "Our tactical foundation is exactly tit-for-tat against Argentina. As long as we defend their offense and turn around, our offense also has an advantage. The reason is very simple. Argentina is using a three-back, and they do not have world-class. The defender, in other words, the defender who is used to the central defender position is not enough to protect the wing. If the habitual defender should play the central defender, the defensive habit is also defective in the central defender position. This will be the most critical point for our offense!"


    As the old saying goes, if you want to play a three-back defense, the three backs must stand out from the crowd, especially the defensive awareness is the top.


    It is conceivable that if you play as a full-back, you will play a full-back with a three-back. The defensive area expands, and the defensive consciousness swings in the mid-side area. The critical defense moment will have an impact. Similarly, playing the position of the full-back as the full-back , Also differs on defense.


    The national team is by no means a place to transform players¡¯ playing habits. At this point, Italy sometimes plays a three-back. At least those players are not new to the three-back system in the club, but Argentina does not have this confidence, so in many cases You will see Argentina¡¯s backcourt defense, the defense line will be very chaotic, the teammates in the area crash, there are not many empty, but the opponent is not strong, it has not been tested, and the international football has rarely seen three defender formations that can stand out. Influenced by various factors, such as encouraging offense, there must be a breakthrough in the upper limit of the defender''s ability requirements, such as the modern winger has become the mainstream.


    As Aldridge carefully arranged the tactical arrangements for tomorrow''s game, the World Cup was getting more and more heated.


    Busan Stadium, South Korea.


    When the game reached the 24th minute, a huge change took place on the field.


    Henry, who won the golden ball at Millwall and hit the name of Europe''s No. 1 Divine Front, was unable to turn the tide when Zidane was absent. Instead, the referee showed a red card that seemed to be covered in blood of Gaul roosters!


    Henry walked away sadly and walked into the player''s tunnel for a few seconds. It seemed to remember something. When he looked back at the court, his desperate eyes were filled with the color of supplication.


    He didn''t want to leave, he only hoped that the French team could create a miracle, and then, go on...


    In the end, 10 players of the French team met with Uruguay to shake hands. Uruguay seemed to lack ambitions for the World Cup. After losing to Denmark in the first game, it played 11-10 early against the French team and did not burst out with a strong desire to win.


    Then, the two teams heard that Senegal and Denmark were shaking hands. Before the final round, Denmark and Senegal held 4 points, 3 points more than the other two opponents.


    The German team in Group E met Ireland in the second game, and the strength of the first show could not be continued. The German team seems to be the unpredictable German team. Klose is difficult to compare with Henry in the club, but in the World Cup, his The limelight overshadowed Henry, and in this battle, he scored again, but the hero was the lion king Kahn, who continuously blocked the shots of Duff and Keane. If there is no Kahn, the German team may not be It was so easy to be tied before the end.


    Saudi Arabia continued its nightmare. After being crushed by a German tank, it was defeated by the African Lions Cameroon. They still did not score a goal and became the first team to be officially eliminated in the World Cup.


    From the opening on May 31, until Saudi Arabia was defeated by Cameroon on June 6, only a week passed, no more, no less than seven days, then, there are teams that can formally book tickets to go home, the cruelty of the World Cup, Also began to come to mind.


    When I woke up, the England team didn¡¯t care about packing up their luggage and they could go home after the last game. When it was dawning, the English team left the hotel, came to the airport, and took a plane to Sapporo. They will I spent more than an hour on the plane, then rested and prepared for half a day, and at night I decided to die with my rival Argentina.


    The England team traveled low-key, but the power of the media was strong. When the England team left the hotel and took the plane, the news reached Sapporo. Countless England teams, or most of them were fans of Beckham, even if they were far away. At a glance, it seems that they are all satisfied.


    Preparing for the game calmly, the players adjusted their mentality, and when the sun went down, they took the bus to the stadium: Sapporo Dome.


    Outside the stadium, countless fans have been waiting, and inside the stadium, fans have entered the venue early.


    England vs Argentina, the battle of rivals is on the verge.


    Both teams have won the match before. In fact, this game is a handshake and the best strategic choice and result. However, the new hatred of the two teams, I am afraid that no one will really dream of a draw in their minds, Argentina No, Argentina is a little bit of a vengeance for the weak, because the scars of the war are not enough to smooth it out with one and two football field victories. The people of Argentina will hope to forever, step on England again and again.


    Fans in England are not reconciled, they will not forget the grievances in the arena in 1986 and 1998.


    This is the special feature of this game, which has already exceeded the scope of competition.


    But Aldrich didn''t care about it. When he walked into the Sapporo Dome Stadium, he looked at the full-fledged live stands. The red and white in England and the blue and white in Argentina made this stadium look half flame and half seawater.

 Chapter 824： Handsome and crazy

    In eight years, Aldridge has made a name for Hehewei. In football circles all over the world, when he mentions a young coach, 90% of people think of it is Aldridge. He is like a monster born out of nowhere. This makes him awesome.


    Therefore, when he played with his colleagues, many people would pay him a little respect and envy.


    And today, when meeting with Bielsa on the sidelines, Aldridge can not feel the emotions that Biersa resembles most people will cherish, respect, tremble, expect, or try to learn from Aldridge, or even cut Aldridge. Ambition.


    Bielsa''s high spirits and sharpness gave Aldridge a long-lasting memory.


    domineering!


    Well, this is the feeling.


    Bielsa didn''t care about Aldridge. One was in South America and one in Europe. The young commander was famous all over the world. Even if he had twice sacked the Governor of Argentina, Bielsa was still unscrupulous.


    Perhaps Aldrich¡¯s achievements in the club are unfair, because he has attracted geniuses from various countries and the cards are better than others.


    And came to the national team level, the two played against each other, Bielsa feared?


    Moreover, he was a madman, a lunatic.


    And he still firmly believes that Argentina is in his hands, is integrating Menotiism and Bilardoism, forming a brand-new genre, a football philosophy called Belsaism, the South American budget game is only the beginning The end of the World Cup is the end!


    After shaking hands with Aldridge, Bielsa turned his head away, strode the meteor, and looked radiant.


    While Aldridge was obviously younger, but slightly cramped, his body movements were slow, and he slowly walked back to the coach seat. Bielsa was wearing sportswear, Aldridge suit and leather, it seems that Bielsa belongs to football, Aldridge should be Summed up in fashion.


    "England, Argentina, finally, finally met! Looking forward to this moment, from the moment the result of the lottery appears, or from France four years ago?"


    "Andy, I think Simone is right in saying that England and Argentina, no matter when they meet, will be an exciting game. Today, we will witness such a game full of stories and grudges. Gary, you are optimistic about England. Are you still sorry for the header?"


    Reinkel laughed. His lifelong regret may be the moment when the header of the Argentina goal was missed before the end of the 86 World Cup.


    "Of course I support England. In the past, it was just support, unconditional support. It was instinct, but now, reason tells me that England can win because the victory over Sweden tells all England fans that England is stronger than we thought, Argentina is very Awesome? Maybe, but in their match with Nigeria, in addition to the result, I can¡¯t see the strong place of Argentina. They even have poor shots that hit the goal range. The 3313 offensive football, instead let me Recalling that when Hall led Millwall, the statistics made by Fleet Street, playing against the opponent of the three-back defense system, Hall won."

    England vs Argentina, the rivalry is about to take place! "


    Today, the captain of England¡¯s captain was wearing Beckham¡¯s arm. This was the decision made by Aldridge yesterday. When he did not choose Beckham as the captain, he felt that Beckham¡¯s reputation would have a negative impact on the pure sports field. In the year and a half of the national team, Beckham is still a huge fan, and there will be more than N commercial activities outside the court, but at least in the national team, the cooperative relationship between each other is very harmonious, even let him go to play the right back, away from more It is easy to make him glorious. Beckham has no complaints. This makes Aldrich satisfied. After the last World Cup, it was Beckham¡¯s dark trough, encountering Argentina, England¡¯s fate, and Beckham¡¯s fate. This day At this moment, Aldridge wanted him to wear the captain''s armband, but there was a grudge.


    There is no such thing as a man letting go, only brave to face and break it by hand.


    The captains of this period in Argentina are relatively vague. Simone, Ayala, and Belon have all worn captain armbands. In this game, it is Belon who wears the captain armbands.


    Beckham and his teammate Belon met. When the two teams shook hands with each other, Beckham and Simone''s meeting became the focus. However, both of them seemed very calm, quite a look of forgetting enmity.


    The fans of England and Argentina have already started the clamor of cheering in the stands, and the battle is on fire!


    From the start, England has shrunk their formation, and they have moved backwards three lines from the last time they played Sweden. This is a matter of course, because the Swedish team has actively contracted at the opening, and England does not have to retreat too late. It is quite satisfactory, but The game is very different.


    Argentina directly launched a comprehensive oppression offensive.


    Seeing England¡¯s posture, the lunatic Bielsa scolded a head-down turtle in his heart and raised his chin. His eyes became sharp: England wanted to defeat Argentina with a defensive counterattack? Let¡¯s see if you can resist it first!


    In his view, Argentina''s offensive points are spread out, but it is not only focused on the local Sweden!


    In the last game, Aldridge gave the England team 25 minutes to enter the game. Today, it is a discount, 10 minutes.


    In the first 10 minutes, regardless of any changes on the court, England was dominated by defense. Absolute defense. When defending, Irving had to retreat to the middle circle. McManaman and Scholes increased their retreat and attacked. Don''t pursue fast, steady, pass more, run away, and let the team enter the game.


    The fans in the stands and the audience in front of the TV saw Argentina press the half-court offense, and England seemed to be unable to fight back.


    Argentine fans cheered passionately in the stands, hoping to rush into the court and stepping on England''s feet, while England fans were worried.


    This Pampas eagle seems to be pretty good.


    Ball control, oppression, transfer of offense, Argentina seems to enter the state of the game faster, accurate pass, and orderly coordination.


    However, Aldridge did not worry at all.


    Argentina is playing around, just going around in circles.


    In the fan-shaped 35-yard area centered on the goal, Argentina couldn''t even penetrate the attack.


    This is also the place where Belsa is proud of, the 3313 is flawed. Too much emphasis on the side, the middle is too weak, and the England team has a three-pointer. With Scholes¡¯ retreat, Argentina can only pass on the side. Cut, indeed, they have a high success rate on the side, but it is very difficult to develop to the middle.


    As a last resort, Gonzalez had a long shot from a long distance.


    Aldridge almost laughed.


    This is similar to the way they played Nigeria in the last game. They turned around in the periphery. They made a long shot. The so-called gorgeous attack. The combined organization in the front and back courts penetrated the ground pass and was almost invisible.


    England turned around to attack, and they did not play fast. They also tentatively changed their two-footed long shots, and neither team made a threatening attack.


    "It seems that England is more conservative, and Argentina seems to have no way. Their pass to the centre of the frontcourt almost did not succeed. Once Belon received the ball and was quickly intercepted by Scholes and Bart. Maybe Manchester United¡¯s teammates are familiar with Belon¡¯s sake, and now, Argentina is starting to play off the wing and pass the ball. But to be honest, England is not afraid. Batty is lonely on the front line. , Ortega catches the opportunity, but the ball does not fall. He is one-and-seven meters tall and wants to grab a header from the England defender line, which is really difficult for a strong man."


    Ten minutes after the opening, it is a process of entering the game, but also a process of temptation, observation, and understanding of the opponent.


    Aldrich is used to being a late player and instills this kind of thinking into the team, because the England team does not have the confidence to win despite their opponents playing their own advantages, and there are reasons why they play anti-anti-tactics.


    Argentine fans held slogans in the stands, which clearly depreciated Aldridge, behind the name of Bielsa was the definition of tactical master, and behind Aldridge, there was only a question mark.


    It is like the Argentine media mocking England as the originator of modern football, but they are playing more and more, and 442 has become 4321, which has entered the World Cup by anti-anti-mixing.


    This is not only a battle between England and Argentina, but also a battle between Audridge and Bielsa.


    So far, Aldridge has not been a bit excited.


    Because Argentina looks like a paper tiger.


    Apart from speed, they have almost no advantage.


    organization? Except for a Belon who was surrounded by all directions in the midfield, who else? Who else in Argentina can bring a little bit of creativity to their passing?


    Side pass? It will be a player, and compared to the cross, Argentina really can''t beat England, Beckham finished the Argentina team with a right foot.


    After restricting the speed of Argentina, they were allowed to move into positional battle. This 3313 Argentina, no matter how it is on the side, how the outer periphery intersects the running position, and how to change around magically, can''t threaten.


    Is a long shot above 30 yards a threat? Forget it.


    If Argentine contemporary is dominated by Bilardoism, Aldridge may encounter a more powerful opponent, but now Argentina is gradually showing the life and death to England, that is, the continuous battle of positions Pressing forward, accumulating offensive players, the backcourt space is getting bigger and bigger.


    At the beginning of the 13th minute, England finally started to really exert its strength. The team''s thinking was unified. After a Southgate header to dissolve the opponent''s pass, Lampard quickly passed the ball back to Bart in the periphery, and then Bart passed Scholes, who was running forward, shook off Giron with his **** head and strode the ball forward. Before coming to Simone, Scholes passed the ball to McManaman.


    Today McManaman¡¯s position in the offense has changed significantly. The last time he played more in the middle, but today, he is obviously closer to the side, and after taking the ball on the side, he went to the bottom line and moved forward. .


    Argentina has just played a wave of offense, and Zanetti is back in the right midfield, but McManaman''s starting position is more forward than him, so England played a fast attack, McManaman was only in front of the actual parallel position on the wing. Argentina''s third defender.


    No matter how McManaman will handle the ball, he can''t let him unscrupulously move the ball forward, Pochettino will have to pull out, suppress the inner line, and reduce the scope of McManaman''s movement. McManaman''s choice.


    When Pochettino approached here, McManaman took the ball back and took a one-step cross to Scholes who came over to meet. Pochettino just turned his head to look at Scholes, but saw Ginger first. The ball comes out of the foot and the ball rolls from Pochettino to Samuel towards the bottom line.


    This is actually a two-for-one, McManaman cuts in after the pass and presses against Pochettino at the moment the **** passes.


    McManaman received the ball at the bottom line, but he had entered the penalty area and swept the door without hesitation. Samuel came to block McManaman and lost his position. Behind him, Irving kicked the ball and the ball went straight into the net nest!


    Owen was just about to celebrate with excitement, but he saw the England team players angrily protesting!


    The referee raised his flag and signaled McManaman to be offside when receiving Scholes'' pass!


    England fans in the stands are angry!


    Behind the stand of Said, holding the flag, England fans were excited.


    "England was blown away with a goal! Irving certainly had no problem. Slow-motion replays showed that McManaman had an arm that crossed the Argentine defender line when he received Scholes'' pass to the bottom line. It seems that this is a fine penalty. Anyway, I hope this incident will not affect the mentality of the English players. We should see the good side. Argentina has been attacking for so long, but it is not as fast as our ten seconds. The counterattack is threatening. If we continue, we will definitely get a good chance."


    Bielsa was falsely alarmed, and his heart couldn''t bear it anymore. Was he walking around on the sidelines, or leaning over or squatting to observe the game, like a lunatic? Perhaps more like a patient with anxiety, and at this moment, he inadvertently saw the Adriatic standing on the sidelines in front of the coach not far away, his hands were behind him, and he was indifferent to a goal being blown away, and his look remained unchanged. It was just that when the players surrounded the referee Corina to protest and returned without success, his right hand stretched out from behind and made a downward movement towards the players.


    The English crowd will see Aldridge''s immovable posture, and he immediately raises his head and quickly forgets the goal that was just blown away.


    Everything is under their control.


    Through that offensive just now, the English congregation will soar confidence and destroy Argentina without problems!

 Chapter 825： A World War I dream back to 74 Munich!

    England vs Argentina, this should be the most watched match in the Korea-Japan World Cup group stage, not only the fans of the two teams in the world, but also the bulls and snakes in the coaching circle.


    Aldrich¡¯s tactical accomplishment is no longer necessary. The Pampas eagle created by Bielsa set off a huge storm in South America. This is regarded as a head-to-head confrontation between tactical masters, and this game is enough to be expected by fellow coaches. Looking for highlights in skills and tactics, whether it is learning from learning or evaluating aftertaste, is exciting.


    Fans and spectators will be anxious or disdainful because of the silence of England in the first 10 minutes, but those in the circle will not. They know that the 90-minute game may only have 20 minutes, 10 minutes, or even 5 minutes. Aldrich is good at One thing is to accumulate a lot of money, as was the case in the last fight against Sweden.


    What tricks does a lunatic have to deal with England?


    It cannot be seen for the time being. Argentina is in the same situation as the last game against Nigeria. Once the opponent''s defense line is behind and intensive defense is placed in the dangerous area, Argentina has only a sense of sight that the crowd is surrounded by the outside. The ball is at the foot, but it creates There is no exciting threat to attack.


    On the contrary, it was England. From the 13th minute, the counterattack struck and threatened to rise!


    When a goal was blown away, Aldridge''s performance was very different from his timeout in the English. If he was in the Premier League or the Champions League, he must protest, find a fourth official to chat, and even inevitably encourage the fans to give the referee Pressure.


    But in the World Cup, he seemed calm, as if Argentina''s goal was blown away.


    First of all, here at the World Cup, no matter the coach or the player, the pressure is extremely great. If Aldridge shows a manic behavior on the sidelines, it will inevitably affect the players on the court and make them feel aggrieved, and then their mentality is unbalanced.


    Secondly, in the final analysis, to put pressure on the referee team is to seek justice and fairness.


    Today''s referee is the most authoritative and prestigious gold whistle in the referee industry, Corina. If the referee led by Corina helps Argentina, then the fairness of the football game really has to go to the grave.


    In the end, Aldridge''s non-protest will also have a psychological hint to the referee team: England is obedient and obey the referee''s penalty.


    This is to brush up on goodwill, to avoid the appearance of a veritable injustice, the referee is also a person, and has a steelyard in his heart.


    After 2 minutes, England launched another fast break. This time, Beckham passed the ball on the right side of the backcourt to the bottom of the right road. McManaman appeared there and will control the ball. England¡¯s attack was instantaneous. In between, he hit Argentina''s defender line again.


    As a midfielder, Simone has to turn around and retreat, not to mention the other teammates in front of him, all actions are turned around in unison, far away can only wait and see, close like Sorin, and the distance to look back looks a bit too long.


    McManaman took the ball to the bottom and went to the bottom line. When he came to the bottom line, he also attracted Pleasant. The opponent couldn''t help but McManaman had the same choice as the previous one. Control the ball and knock back. Corresponding Scholes.


    Scholes took the ball one step further, Owen also ran to this side of the penalty area, Argentina''s defense is not too chaotic, Simoni, Samuel, Pochettino, looks like a 3 defense 2 posture, But they obviously crowded to the right of the penalty area.


    Irving did the containment and attracted. Scholes rushed to defend against Simone, but stopped the ball, pulled back, and then knocked on the left side.


    On the other side, there was a lot of empty space. The Argentine defenders turned their heads and saw that Lampard killed him and stopped the ball. Without anyone interfering, he also had enough vision and angle to hit the goal. Two meters outside the penalty area, Lampa De shot a heavy gun!


    There was an uproar.


    Everyone saw that the ball was flying high above the beam, and it was almost, only almost. The goalkeeper Cavallero''s save did not reach the point. If the ball is lower, it will definitely enter.


    Lampard held his head in regret, raised his hand to his teammates in the frontcourt when he gritted his teeth and then turned back, feeling that he wasted a good opportunity.


    Argentina has a long shot and England also has a long shot, but the threat is not at a level at a glance.


    Lampard is closer to the goal, he has no interference, and the angle is better, and Argentina''s long shot is more like trying to create a world wave.


    Bielsa was pacing back and forth on the sidelines. England attacked twice, playing lightning fast. The routine was consistent, but it was very effective, and he was trying to think about how to limit England.


    It is not difficult to limit.


    Argentina can just take it back, or reduce the offensive input of Solin and Zanetti to avoid the situation of empty defense.


    However, if it is withdrawn like this, Argentina''s third line must be disconnected, because of the large midfielder, there is a Belon in front, there is a Simone in the back, and it is not a good injury Simone, Argentina, the midfield may even control the ball Can''t live.


    England is playing according to their established tactics. It is the technical and tactical system that they built, hone, mature and spent a year and a half to forge.


    And Argentina, it seems that their set of technical and tactical systems, weaknesses and shortcomings, began to be clearly exposed.


    "In just a few minutes, England''s offensive power is impressive, Andy, what do you think of McManaman''s performance today?"


    "Unpredictable! He suddenly moves from left to right, it seems that the position is erratic, but in the key position of the attack, he can always see his shadow, which plays a crucial role."


    "No, no, it can be predicted! Martin, Andy, remember when he played Sweden in the last game, McManaman was more in the midfield and midfield activities. The dribbling technique disrupted the Swedish midfield defense, but today , He gave up the middle, he will appear in the winger position when attacking in England, and then through the pull of the side, and then cooperate with Scholes of the middle, pinned Argentina in part and quickly transferred the offense. This is the intention of the England team. To this end, adjustments made to Argentina!"


    Reinkel''s analysis is in place. At this time, whether in the stands or the football coach watching the game in front of TV, many people have also seen the changes in England''s offense today.


    The last game against Sweden, heavy attack on midfielder, why? Because Sweden is conservative, it is necessary to ensure the success rate of the pass in the midfield and frontcourt. It is natural to play short to ensure that the ball can reach McManaman¡¯s feet. As for Beckham¡¯s occasional long pass, it is a means to deter and harass the opponent¡¯s defense. And the simple and rude long pass passed the top without threat.


    Playing Argentina today, Argentina is the main attacker, England made a stop, and there is room for the offense. Secondly, the three guards are responsible for the 60-meter cross section. The English team is using the width of the field. McManaman suddenly left and right, and when instigating the attack, the middle and long distance The increase in the number of passes is also due to the increased space and the reason why the success rate is guaranteed.


    McManaman was really alive with Aldridge!


    This is the problem of player level and stage. Like the previous England, even if they give them a 3R combination, they will be discarded.


    After another 3 minutes, Ashley Cole assisted and assisted McManaman to raging all the way on the left. Zanetti collided with Pochettino defensive area in the back chase. McManaman was in Ash Li Cole cut inwards and then cut into the penalty area with Ashley Cole passing the ball, raking at the goal and volleying at a small angle before Samuel intercepted!


    Caballero blocked the ball, and the ball outside the penalty area was stopped by Scholes. Ginger made another long shot, obviously aiming at the far corner of the goal.


    The fans in England were ready to get up and celebrate, but they heard disappointment.


    boom!


    The ball hit the beam and flew off the stands.


    "England is unlucky! McManaman''s shot in the penalty area was blocked, but Scholes'' long shot from the periphery hit the beam."


    "England''s momentum is completely up, Argentina seems a little overwhelmed. Our offensive is extremely targeted, and we continue to play threatening attacks. As long as we continue to work hard, we will be able to complete the goal."


    At this time, the generals of England have become more and more courageous, even if they hit the beam, they are not discouraged.


    Because in their eyes, Argentina''s defense can''t stop their fast break.


    Aldridge was also unmoved, and offensive opportunities were constantly being created. In his eyes, the Argentina team made a fatal mistake. This mistake was like England in the past. On the first day he took over England, he The first point to point out the weakness of England is: space.


    Obviously, there is no "excellent creativity" talent, but he must press up to attack, watching it is very fierce. In fact, it actually exposes the empty space behind him for opponents to use.


    Now in Argentina, which sounds fierce, Bielsa claims that he is integrating Menotiism and Bilardoism. It is really unreliable. He wants to merge two completely opposite football philosophies. This requires more than ambition. To be aspiring and talented perseverance, we also need a chance coincidence, where the current situation creates a hero, without the current situation, where is the hero?


    At this point, Spanish football has great origins with Argentine football. Players, coaches, football styles, and all aspects are inextricably linked. In a few years, Spain can be regarded as a fusion and sublimation of these two football philosophies. Because they say they play gorgeously, do unlimited short passes match gorgeously? Said they are utilitarian, but they are oppressing the ball. Saying that they rely on the team, it does look like this, but without the brain Xavi, the hero at the moment, Iniesta, you will find that without these two, the Spanish team football fell to the world.


    The Argentine defense is not stable, everyone can see that, Argentina''s bilateral midfielder, Solin and Zanetti began to take the initiative to withdraw, to avoid being unscrupulously used by the England team to defend the sidelines.


    Seeing this change in Argentina, Aldridge''s eyes suddenly became dignified. He was not worried about anything, but an expectation.


    Three minutes later, another storm of England''s offensive shocked England''s commentators and all the top coaches who were concerned about the game. After witnessing the process, Reinkel exclaimed: "McManner Isn¡¯t Mann Hall¡¯s killer? This seems to make people relive the 74 World Cup finals!"


    England has played a kind of offensive threat that really shakes football today, and many top coaches are enthralled!


    A World War I dream back to 74 Munich!

 Chapter 826： World First and Redemption of Abandoned Children

    After 20 minutes of the game, Argentina and England showed two extremes. Argentina was fierce but threatened mediocre, and England''s post-control was fatal.


    Mo said that Bielsa, fans watching the game all over the world know that McManaman is the most threatening player in England''s offensive end. Wherever he went, he set off a **** storm, and the Argentine defense line was like an enemy, stirring up the situation in part. The tearing of the Argentine defense was very effective, which is an important reason why the England team can play a threat in the fast break.


    People guess that this is the winning weight of the young handsome.


    However, in the 24th minute, Solin drove the ball on the left to advance the offensive, and under Beckham''s close snatch, the ball was reluctant to be intercepted by Phil Neville. Gonzalez failed to receive the ball. Ville immediately passed the ball to Beckham running forward.


    Beckham got the ball, even if there was no anti-robbing pressure around him, he still played quickly. The Argentine midfielder was actually very empty. The former Belon, the latter Simoni, and everyone else were on the sidelines.


    Beckham gave the ball to Lampard, who was running forward to the middle circle. The latter stopped the ball, glanced at McManaman''s running position, and rolled the ball diagonally to the left. McMa Naman got the ball, Scholes, who was marked by Simone in the middle, started to run in the direction of the penalty area and consciously leaned to McManaman''s side. Simone followed suit, and Irving, who was at the forefront, began to run forward. , Also moved to McManaman''s side. When McManaman took the ball forward, England''s offensive center of gravity tilted to the left, and Argentina''s defense line also tilted to this side.


    McManaman dribbles the ball forward along the wing. This time, he did not absolutely throw away Zanetti, because Zanetti made a conscious retreat, but the fast break of the England team was too fast. Up, Zanetti still wants to chase back, after all, he is not a full-back.


    However, getting closer and closer to McManaman and seeing teammate Pochettino blocking McManamance''s line ahead, Zanetti was slightly relieved.


    McManaman could have taken a sudden lead when playing Sweden, facing Argentina, if he can kill a blood from the three breadcrackers, obviously, to take a great risk of losing the ball, the sideline itself is a defensive line, There is Pochettino in front of the right and Zanetti in the back. These three breadcrackers actually have some momentum to push McManaman into desperation. However, Zanetti also pays attention to the surrounding situation at this time. He found that Behind him, someone quickly rushed up.


    Unsurprisingly, England''s left back, Ashley Cole!


    It is expected that Ashley Cole will overtake from the sidelines, wait for McManaman to control the ball, and then pass forward when Ashley Cole comes up, penetrate the back line, and go straight to the bottom line, which is also McMalay. The reason why Naman started to slow down, if he went to the bottom line again, there was no room for Ashley Cole to intervene.


    Zanetti speeded up, no longer hesitated, and decisively forced McManaman, if McManaman really passed to the bottom line, he was also conscious and could quickly fill in to intercept Ashley Cole.


    At this time, he did not know that Ashley Cole treated this game but it was another kind of thought and self-motivation.


    Aldrich has been in charge of Millwall for 8 years. Millwall has strong positions in various positions. The front line does not need to be discussed, and a strong team is not enough to rely on the striker. The classic meaning of Pirlo¡¯s postponed organization also obscures other. The light from the non-forward position, but Millwall is actually a master at the full-back position.


    Even if Thuram left the team that year, Schneider guarded the right for six years, assisting, scoring, and the importance of the offensive system is self-evident, while Mills and Ferreira who left are also in The new club shines. In the left-back position, Capdevila was first returned to Spain, and then Zambrotta was enough to compete with the world¡¯s first three defenders. The leaving Evra also began to break out of his own sky. Ashley Cole will be the successor after Zambrotta leaves.


    The position of the full-back, in addition to a strong sense of defensive technical ability, also has very high demands on offense. This position is purely a requirement that players must be able to achieve both offense and defense.


    Ashley Cole was a self-cultivation in his loan time, but this position, not only by ability, awareness, competition reading ability, and tactical execution ability, is very special. Therefore, In his spare time, Aldridge communicates with Ashley Cole in a fixed period of time, basically during the national team training.


    When Zambrotta leaves, Ashley Cole will return to the mad lion to take over. Now that it is the World Cup, he will press Bridge to the bench, and this is not enough.


    He has to compete with the best in the world like Zambrotta!


    Lao Tzu is going to be the number one in the world!


    Why?


    Based on his own strength, and he has a world''s best coach in training him!


    Looking at Zanetti and Pochettino in front of McManaman, Ashley Cole was very calm. When he was about to catch up with Zanetti, he turned and went straight to the front center of the penalty area. There is: front waist area !


    McManaman finally got the ball. At the moment he passed the ball, Zanetti was unbelievable. To whom did the ball pass?


    This is a horizontal return from one foot to the right rear.


    Zanetti stretched her feet to block the ball, but turned her head and looked in shock.


    Ashley Cole scored the ball while running, and continued to move forward. McManaman cut into the penalty area laterally. Scholes, Owen, and the three ghosts shot the goal!


    The Argentine defender line almost all came to surround the three, but Ashley Cole passed the ball diagonally to the right side of Argentina''s restricted area.


    The Argentine looked in the direction of the ball rolling, not only surprised, but also smelled of death.


    A red figure strode meteor, who is it?


    David Beckham!


    When Beckham received a pass from Phil Neville and started to attack, he started to run forward. At first, he was not fast and not eye-catching. He was observing and observing whether his own attack could be scored. It was impossible to close. His eyes rushed upward until McManaman received the ball on the wing, Beckham rushed forward at full speed.


    When Belon reacted and chased, it was too late.


    Solin was behind Beckham, and when chasing, the distance was farther, especially when Sorin was close to the side road, and Beckham was in the middle of the middle road and the side road, rushing to the restricted area of ??Argentina, who is closer?


    Therefore, when Beckham rushed up, Solin was less than three meters away from him, but Solin was on the outside, and Beckham was on the inside, closer to the goal.


    After Ashley Cole''s pass, Beckham moved forward while touching the ball in the penalty area.


    Placento gave up Samuel and Simone to form a team against Irving and Scholes before defending Beckham, too late!


    Beckham took two steps into the penalty area. These two steps were adjustments. Afterwards, the horizontal knife immediately set off, and the gold right foot was no longer fancy, no longer to create a wonderful arc, a strong and powerful foot shelled out!


    Beckham took the ball, shot, from the beginning to the end of his face expressionless, only his eyes burst into a determined murderous, extremely sharp!


    From 1998 to today, four years later, a reincarnation.


    That red card is a shame.


    That retaliation was also a shame.


    No need for comfort.


    No encouragement.


    No need to understand.


    No need for tolerance.


    Me, cut it yourself!


    I will stand up again where I fell.


    My name is David Beckham. I am famous all over the world. It¡¯s not that I am handsome, but that I am playing football and playing my own football.


    BOOM!


    Cavallero flew directly from the other side to Beckham''s side, and the posture was extremely extreme, but the guardian''s fingertips failed to touch the ball, covering the ball in his palm. The ball was already on the back of his hand when he was on the speeding track, that is, in the goal...


    The Sapporo Dome Stadium is like a volcanic eruption, and English fans are completely boiling in the stands, crazy, screaming, like a riot!


    Beckham saw the ball progress after shooting, and stretched his arms flat when running towards the side of the court, which was quite chic and beautiful, but when he came to the corner, he could not continue to exercise restraint and continue to build his own million. Fascinated by the image, he began to scream wildly. Compared with the white faceless faceless face four years ago, at this time, his handsome and mature, and a trace of vicissitudes of the face, began to become distorted, his hands were pulling his jersey, forgetting Roaring, it seems to be relief after atonement, it seems to be catharsis after getting out of the darkness, it seems that the abandoned children abandoned by the motherland hope to return to the arms of their loved ones after redemption...


    He is an international star and the most popular star in the world. However, in England, he has been carrying criminal infamy for four years, conflicting with fans, and not being forgiven by some fans in his hometown.


    No one is God, no one will be loved by everyone.


    However, he just hopes to get more support and love from English fans, even a little, a little more. He has been atonement and has been trying to heal the wounds he has brought to English fans.


    No matter what kind of childish and ridiculous mistakes have been made, at this moment, this captain on the England field surrounded by English players in the corner flag area and wearing the No. 7 shirt has become the hero of all English fans!


    The narrator was crying wildly, the fans were celebrating frantically, perhaps only the Argentinian who was struck by lightning, and Aldridge standing on the sidelines and only bowing his head and **** with a small fist up and down was sober.


    England 1: 0 Argentina.


    Emotionally, the English began to explode.


    On the scene, England destroyed the Argentine champions.


    Before the goal, Reinkel¡¯s exclamation had been left behind by himself, but other football coaches, especially the national team coach who led the team to participate in this World Cup, if England is listed as a competitor, is paying attention to this During the game, some of them frowned, some thought deeply, and some were shocked.


    Dream back to Munich in 74?


    Yes, England played a deadly attack that made the thoughtful, academic head who had been involved in tactical research for years.


    The evaluation of England''s strength may be turned upside down!

 Chapter 827： Can only be aware of the unspeakable existence

    Belsaby looked even more anxious before, thinking about how to equalize the score.


    The game was only played for 25 minutes.


    He couldn''t make a substitution, but Belon was terrible.


    3313.


    This one alone is the most important.


    Bielsa bet on Belon and Aimar and gave up Riquelme. Even though Riquelme, who is slower, may not perform well even on the court.


    Because the England team is shameless, yes, in the eyes of Bielsa, the England team is shameless.


    Abandoning the dignity of the originator of modern football, the game was not played, and the momentum was weak three points first, because they took the initiative to retreat and do the intensive defense that usually only the weak team will put on.


    Belon had Bart in the front and Scholes in the back, both of whom were his teammates at Manchester United. They were restricted to do nothing in a narrow area, which is why Argentina can only fight around on the sidelines. In the absence of Belon delivering artillery shells to the front line, Argentina''s offensive is not threatening, but Batti can''t stand alone. Just let him go to grab the high ball.


    When Bielsa squatted down to think of a move, Aldridge had already celebrated with the coaching staff and the players.


    At this time, he was still holding his hands behind him, standing on the side of the field with his head upright, immobile.


    This match between Bielsa and Aldridge is more anxious from the physical movements of the two coaches on the sidelines, while Aldridge has an old-fashioned taste that does not match his appearance.


    Martin Taylor, Andy Gray, and Reinkel have begun to reminisce on the goals just commented, and the number one star Beckham has naturally received a lot of praise. They believe that Beckham scored the first goal in the face of Argentina. , A very crucial goal, representing Beckham''s revenge, Beckham climbed up again at the place where he fell.


    "Gary, you just said it reminds you of the 74 World Cup finals, what do you mean?"


    "I saw Ashley Cole¡¯s running position and his assist for David. This scene was very shocking. I remembered the classic 74-year final. Of course, England is like Germany, but Argentina is not. Like the Netherlands, they are much weaker than the Netherlands."


    "why?"


    "Because Ashley Cole, he..."


    The eloquence is good, and the remarks of the remarked Reinkel can''t continue here, because he doesn''t know how to describe the role of Ashley Cole in the attack just now.


    This is a strange phenomenon.


    Unclear, unclear Tao, innumerable threads, like a catfish in the throat.


    Argentina took the initiative to slow down the rhythm after restarting the ball. To slow down the ball, it is also a time for Bielsa to fight for the spot. 25 minutes, it is obvious to everyone. Although England shows a pair of headed turtles The posture, but when people show their mouths from the turtle shell, they can really bite people!


    As much as Reinkel could not tell the subtleties of the England offense just now, there are many top coaches who think of it here.


    Aldridge turned his head and looked at Belsa, who was squatting on the sidelines.


    Tactical master?


    It doesn''t matter if you are a master.


    But since you meet here, you should at least come up with some convincing skills.


    Offensive offense then offense, lunatic Bielsa.


    It seems that other coaches don''t know how to attack.


    But if you attack and attack and don''t score, you are limited by your opponent''s intensive defense. What if you''re crazy? Not ashamed?


    Holding the offensive banner as if to promote passion and romantic football aesthetics.


    It''s a bit underestimated.


    Whether it''s passionate or romantic, it''s not the coach''s words!


    This point, Aldridge wanted to understand the day when he coached Millwall at the age of 18, and it was also the experience of his previous life, which was summed up by traveling and studying in this life.


    Millwall started to defend against the opposition. Eight years later, in the face of the La Liga duo, if he still fights against the opposition, he will definitely be able to play the opponent without temper. But Aldridge still takes the initiative to attack and is not afraid of losing the ball. Why? Because Millwall already has the capital to crush opponents, lost the ball? What is a lost ball? I can enter more than you!


    But now in Argentina, there is no such capital, absolutely no!


    To play Nigeria, you have to rely on a positioning ball to break the goal. In addition to long-range sports, there is basically no threat. When you come to England, you still play like this. In the eyes of Aldridge, it is not that Belsa is crazy, but he underestimates the world.


    Me, Aldrich Hall, 8 years of glory, how could it be worthy of fame?


    In this game, Aldridge''s platoon formation seems unchanged, because the formation itself is dead and meaningless, but in the tactical arrangement, it grips the opponent''s seven inches.


    Restricting Belon, Argentina''s offense can only go sideways.


    Ortega, Gonzalez, have their own ability to explode England''s side defense ability? Especially in England''s intensive defense, in addition to Bart, there are Beckham and Lampard taking the initiative to defend the side.


    If not, Solin and Zanetti will assist.


    After this assist came up, the resulting problem was that Ortega and Gonzalez had flaws in the flexibility of the winger to the forward.


    If these two are Millwall''s Henry, Larson, or Klose, Argentina''s minimum strike power will increase several times.


    Why?


    Henry, Larson, and Klose, trained by Aldridge, all have strong center pull-edges, wing-inward consciousness, and are able to blend through and switch flexibly in the game, but the Argentine striker, this consciousness and ability has not reached At a very high level, the threat naturally declines severely. Instead, it is crowded on the sidewalk. Even if you run to the middle road, it is only a simple run, and the pass and run coordination is not in place.


    After the offensive piled up on the wing, when England switched from defense to offense, it played exclusively on Argentina¡¯s wing defense. The biggest hole in Argentina¡¯s defense was here. Their wing midfielders all assisted. The offensive football should be crushed. Opponent.


    As a result, people saw the important role of McManaman, played the fast attack speed, ensured that England quickly pushed the attack to a deep enough zone, torn the Argentine three-line connection, destroyed their overall defense, and the battle became Partial.


    McManaman pulled left and right, and then made some involvement in front of the 60-meter cross-section of the Argentine defense line. The second problem of Argentina''s defense came out. The 60-meter horizontal defensive area has only 3 defenders. It can be imagined how great the defensive pressure is, Owen¡¯s attractive running position, Scholes¡¯ series and forward insertion, as long as there is another person in England, whether it is Beckham or Lampard, basically can find time. Immediately after the transfer of offense, they exploded their defense.


    Romantic football? Goodbye!


    If it wasn¡¯t for England that had a bit of luck, they should have scored.


    And when Argentina realized that the wing defense was weak, did England lose track?


    No, correspondingly, as Argentina strengthens the wing defense, the pressure on the wing defense in England will decrease.


    Well, it was the full-back that was released.


    This is Aldridge¡¯s second focus on this game. The first is McManaman¡¯s position, which is very different from the previous game of playing Sweden. The second is Ashley Cole and Phil. Neville, Ashley Cole was the first to show off.


    If Aldridge can hear the English live commentary and hear Reinkel talk about the 74 World Cup finals, if he does not direct the team, he will be interested in chatting with Reinkel.


    That''s right, the 74 World Cup finals gave birth to the most mysterious football player on the football field, only to understand the unspeakable characters on the field.


    This role exists on the sidelines, and for 30 years thereafter, even in the future, it will become one of the players on the football field to decide the outcome!


    Wing players, in public perception, are nothing more than three categories, full-back, full-back, and winger. According to the role, they can be divided into many roles, such as assist-type full-back, classic winger and the like.


    The importance of the wing role is often epoch-making, the demise of the classical winger, the withdrawal of the wing of England and the establishment of the wing avant-garde to challenge the world and so on.


    The development of football in the contemporary era has basically formed a consensus, that is, "three half-backs". Four guards without a team are immutable and only undertake defensive tasks. For a radical team, both full-backs can assist. Occupy the position of the wing forward and the position of the winger, but the general team does not dare to invest so much. Therefore, when the mobile game is in progress, it is usually three guards, one-sided assists, and it is necessary to return when defending, that is, no matter how it changes , The main body is three and a half, a small half, is to participate in the attack.


    For a world-class strong team, the defense must at least ensure the Iron Triangle, the double central defender plus a midfielder, which not only guarantees a certain lateral defense, but also has a sense of hierarchy, like the future Real Madrid puts a seemingly good defender line However, it is not surprising that the midfielders have virtually no impact on opponents at all levels, and poor defense is against the trend of football tactics.


    In the case of ensuring the defense of the Iron Triangle, how do the players in the front and midfield line up, how the offensive system works, let countless coaches rack their brains, some are famous, and some are unknown. When they reach the extreme, the role of the full-backs It began to be gradually valued. Since the 58th World Cup, assist-type defenders have been on the highest stage in the world. Their popularity, popularity, and development seem to be no longer secret.


    Coming to the 74 World Cup, at that time, the all-attack and defensive Netherlands shocked the world. 5 wins, 1 draw, only 1 goal to advance to the final, without losing a victory over South America''s three males, averaging more than 20 shots per game! Playing Sweden, 36 shots, playing Argentina, crazy 40-foot shot! With this crazy offensive investment, they only lost one ball, which is the performance of the offensive and defensive peak.


    The final was held in Munich. West Germany faced the Netherlands. No one was afraid of the Netherlands. West Germany was no exception. They were thinking hard about how to beat the Netherlands. At this time, Kramer, a German emperor Beckenbauer The person with the origin and influence of the free man recommended a set of technical and tactical play to the West Germany team, which specifically restrained the Dutch team''s full attack and defense. To put it bluntly, it is to seize the opportunity on the basis of finding flaws.


    In the game, Bonhof, who seemed to be a full-back, was a take-all-eat and created a chance on the bottom line in a sprint of more than 40 meters. This was the winning goal Mueller scored.


    That game made the Dutch team the uncrowned king. They were too crazy to win the championship.


    The German team has also brought new tactical ideas to modern football. It seems that the use of wing players has broken a barrier.


    A brand-new character was born, but there is no precise definition, because this character is on the side, sometimes like a guard, sometimes like a front, there is no fixed position, no fixed area of ??activity, in Europe, most people call this role as "change "Feng", the Italians called it "turning winger", and the Argentines called it "blower".


    Why is this kind of role unintelligible? Because you can¡¯t describe its exact position to define his name on the court, count the names of the various positions on the court, whether it is a delayed organization, a nine and a half, an assault forward, a column center, a full-back, etc., this There is a big frame or three-dimensional depiction, but this role alone, no.


    Why is this character mysterious?


    Most of the head coaches can¡¯t describe it clearly. When dealing with the outside world, they formulate some clich¨¦ positions. However, the reporters are not willing to write because they will feel like they are fooling people, just like Cruyff will tell reporters in private. He said he played 312211 formation, but would the reporter write this in the newspaper? Readers who actually write it will only laugh at reporters as idiots.


    Just like some teams start with 451, but when defending, the last line of defense, you will find that there are 6 people lined up. Is this a 4-guard formation?


    This "change" has become an invisible but vital force in the tactical contest of the football circle. After 74 years, there are teams that want to follow suit, such as the Brazil team, but they are at a loss at the cost of 10 years of failure. .


    It''s too difficult. You can''t train such players full-time, because it will become a double-edged sword. If you fail, it will destroy the entire tactical system, and because it can''t become the mainstream, there will be no team to focus on creating such players.


    England''s goal, from start to finish, Ashley Cole assisted, and then gave Beckham an assist in the front waist area.


    But, thinking against the past, why did he appear? Why didn''t he hold McDonald''s sideways to support McManaman? That''s the responsibility of his full-back!


    If Ashley Cole played like this in the whole game, and has done so throughout his career since then, can he still be a stranger every time? Or become a tumor of a tactical system?


    It is precisely too many factors that influence the "change of arms" to become the mainstream, and it will shine only under certain circumstances.


    In the World Championships of the past 20 years, regardless of the European Cup and the World Cup, this "change of arms" has become an invisible force in promoting the evolution of football tactics, and even some self-contained 3-guard formations have also originated from this.


    In the contemporary era, "changing the front" has always been the pursuit of top coaches. Once it can be used well, it is a miracle. For example, in the last game of Argentina against Nigeria, before Argentina scored, the only goal in the penalty area was from Argentina. Who comes from? Solin, a midfielder who entered the penalty area, came to the striker''s zone to form a shot. Unfortunately, only one time, it can be seen that Argentina is not very skilled in using the forward.


    In 2006, when Ram scored the first goal of the World Cup opener, he scored the goal from the wing, and then cut through the two of them, and completed a long-range goal with a winger and a winger in the same field. In the World Cup, the magical Grosso, who faced Australia and played one less person, slammed up, took the ball in the winger area, started to work as a striker, and finally lost a man in the penalty area. I stumbled. He was no more than 10 yards away from the goal. Under normal circumstances, it can be said that the player''s light flashed, but if you think about it, the World Cup, one less player, the final moment of the game, Italy has to rely on a full-back to rush forward to a forward. Did Dragon''s work involve the blood of chicken, or Lippi''s mastermind calculated that the essence of transformation was used to the extreme? Looking back, without Lippi''s nod, give Grosso ten thousand guts, dare he rush up? And don''t pass the striker, do it alone?


    In the final analysis, the emergence of "change of front" is a kind of football that has reached a practical bottleneck, but it cannot pursue the highest level of compromise.


    Everyone in the Netherlands can play a forward, everyone can be converted into a defender, and they can perform whatever duties they need to stand in the area. It is too free, the creativity is too amazing, it is simply dreams and limits, but it is realistic That is, players are not gods, they must give players a frame, a shackle, in order to make a team of 11 players run smoothly, 10,000 teams to pursue the highest ideal full attack and defense, only nine One thousand nine hundred ninety-nine collapsed, and the one remaining was called the Netherlands. The highest achievement was the World Cup runner-up and received the glory of an uncrowned king.


    But in stereotypes, technical and tactical will be nothing new, predictable and too strong, so, with the change, with the free team of the German team that later became famous, with the rise of the modern winger, there is After the emergence of the delayed organization, there are all kinds of creations that can only be based on a certain point, a certain person, and a certain position. This is a compromise between reality and ideal, but each change still has a huge impact on modern football. .


    Aldrich¡¯s research, experimentation, and application of change have already begun, but because this change is always not the mainstream, it is not a role that can be created routinely, so it can only be used in the right context of the game, just like the Europeans. As for the change, the emphasis is on change. If it becomes a stereotyped routine, what is the meaning of change? Where is the unexpected?


    He used it at Millwall. The earliest key use can be traced back to the first year of the Champions League. In the face of Juventus¡¯ last fight, Schneider¡¯s pressure, gave up the wing and went inside to create opportunities, The goal that created Millwall''s defeat to Juventus came from this.


    Since then, Zambrotta, Schneider, played in many tough battles, have the shadow of this change. Because Zambrotta has a stronger physical fitness, Zambrotta is more outstanding, and why he can The reason for competing for the world''s best full-back is that Aldridge has long since, as long as the main full-back is on the stage, he basically won''t set up a full-back and a traditional winger.

 Chapter 828： Crazy man with shackles

    The use of change forward will not show a fixed routine in the whole game, because its essence is "change".


    This "change" has very high requirements on the player''s ability.


    If Aldridge did not have the experience of his last life, he would not dare to try it easily even if he studied.


    However, there is an Ashley Cole in the England formation.


    In the original history, in the eight years after 2006, Wenger could not escape a fixed template for the creation of Arsenal''s left road. The left back is mainly based on the speed assist type, in front of the full-back, with a Partially organized players play on the wing, not Wenger¡¯s sudden death to the No. 10 player, but the strongest offense of the undefeated division in 2004 is the left, Ashley Colgapir¨¦¡¯s The combination is the main force for casting the gunman. Because of the combination that reached the peak, Wenger never missed it. He always tried to reshape the glory of the year on the left, but the effect was often unsatisfactory.


    In addition to the player''s ability, the combination and collocation seem to be not far behind on the template, but the reality is that the left back after Arsenal can no longer play the kind of attack and speed and change of Ashley Cole. Unpredictable threat of running position.


    Ashley Cole was a full-back during 02-04, but observe him cooperating with Pires on the wing, plus Henry, you will find that Henry, Pires, most of them are familiar in a basic fixed Play in the area, and Ashley Cole is a person who provides variables to make the offense unpredictable. He will transform into a player who appears in the forward position on the front line of the offense, and upset the opponent''s defense. This kind of impact is not possible by him alone. It requires the cooperation of teammates and the support of team skills and tactics.


    This is why, when Ashley Cole was transferred to Chelsea at the beginning, he was criticized for not being able to make a price. Because of the different tactical systems, the player''s ability to play is naturally different. It is also reflected in his playing for England, and England But he has long been troubled by the lack of left-side offense, because England is using him as an ordinary full-back, or assisting full-back.


    As for Ashley Cole, the biggest controversy that has always existed is that assists cannot go back and forth. This is an accusation that is too rude. Ask, the full-backs rushed to the front line, the offense could not be achieved, and the opponent counterattacked. No matter how fast the guard is, can it be faster than the ball flying in the sky?


    The player cannot be asked to be superman, and this kind of problem has been solved by the 74-year-old German team. It is a very simple way to make up positions, but it is difficult to do well.


    So the England team is Southgate next to Ashley Cole, who has become a good player with a pre-emptive pass. At the same time, Lampard is on this side. When Ashley Cole assisted, he Is also the first person to make up the side defense. Similarly, on the other side, Beckham and Phil Neville can only play one. When defending in England, not only must the defensive iron triangle not move, but also on both sides, front or back There must also be someone, or a midfielder or full-back, to ensure that the defensive cross-section is not empty and has a defensive level.


    England is mainly defensive and counterattack is an important means, but they are heavily involved in the midfield, and they have truly achieved the balance of offense and defense pursued by many top coaches when building teams.


    Bielsa made the first request on the spot, that is, to increase the speed, but not in the positional battle, but after England counterattacked, they quickly mobilized the offensive and wanted to rule their own way. Body, fight back in England''s counterattack!


    In the 31st minute, Scholes crossed McManaman who cut in from the side in front of the penalty area. The latter shot a shot and was confiscated by goalkeeper Cavallero. Argentina quickly spurred a counterattack.


    Bielsa looked at the goalkeeper and threw the ball to Zanetti, who was on the sidelines, then turned his head to look at England''s half, and he was helpless.


    Assisted by Phil Neville just now, after Scholes passed the ball, he ran to the backcourt. Lampard after the center line also recovered. When Zanetti passed the ball to Ortega in front of the same player, England There are already 7 people in the backcourt. The two-row defense lines of the four backs and three backs will be rearranged in 3 seconds, tightly and orderly, and Scholes in the frontcourt will also return to the center line.


    Ortega took the ball and hit the inside line along the sideline. Lampard did not grab him. He was stuck inside and was connected with Ashley Cole. If Ortega forcibly cut in, the two can close the door, even if he After a real breakthrough, Southgate is waiting for him. The only room left for Ortega is to go to the sideline bottom line, or, after passing the ball back, the counterattack turns into a positional battle.


    Ortega changed to the bottom, Ashley Cole followed closely, the space in the penalty area suddenly contracted, Ortega did not try to force, and with a pass, the ball crossed the top of Southgate Behind him, Batty was ready to grab a header and the old goalkeeper Seaman came out and removed the ball.


    Aldrich didn''t change his face, his mood was not upset, Argentina''s technical and tactical level was not as superb as he expected. This is probably the gap between South America and Europe. Do not look at Argentina''s killing in South America, but in Europe, it is more particular In the field of technology and tactics, their alternative and outstanding offensive football technology and tactics system in South America is actually full of loopholes, and even counterattacks can''t play tricks. Speed, speed, except speed, who can come? Transfer of foot seconds to a millisecond and a straight plug like a scalpel?


    In the absence of space, the England team does not have this kind of personal ability, but the England team can create through tactics. At this level, Aldridge did not feel any pressure from Bielsa.


    Although England is mainly defensive, their rhythm changes are very obvious. When the defense is successful, there will be a planned fast attack immediately, which will make the rhythm suddenly accelerate.


    Seaman''s goal kick was directly thrown into the midfield, Argentina''s midfield was empty, after Belon pressed up, the ball flew over his head, he turned and looked, Scholes stopped the ball, turned around, and quickly drew forward, England''s fast break was coming to the city again.


    The England team''s quick and easy technical and tactical convenience is to first exert pressure, that is, depth, which makes Argentina panic.


    Scholes took the ball forward with McManaman and Owen. After a triangle pass, they had arrived in front of Argentina''s penalty area, an area that was enough to make Argentina nervous.


    At this time, the England team will slow down the pace appropriately and proceed to the next organization, so that Argentina can''t make the best choice by adjusting the defensive response on the basis of panic.


    Frighten you first, then accumulate a fatal blow!


    Beckham''s assists pulled up the right front of the free zone and immediately attracted the defense. Scholes passed the ball to Beckham. The latter made a slight adjustment and then the gold right foot made a big arc to spare. Back point on one side.


    Ashley Cole, who was killed from the sideline, stopped the ball in front of the bottom line of the sideline. At this time, the Argentine defense was like a collapsing posture. During the process of panning left and right, the air came out.


    Ashley Cole returned the top of the penalty area, McManaman missed at the front point, swayed past Simone, Scholes kept the ball in the penalty area to the right, and Irving ran diagonally in Samu El rushed to the ball beside him, without stopping the ball, he directly turned and volleyed!


    Samuel turned around and blocked again, failing to interfere with Owen''s shot. He only heard a slam, the ball hit the post and popped out, and goalkeeper Cavallero sighed.


    "England is out of luck today! A two-foot shot has hit the door frame and the post, and a goal was blown away!"


    "Don''t worry, on the scene, we firmly hold the advantage. Obviously, Argentina is not our opponent."


    Bielsa has now fully understood.


    Argentina has been pursuing the speed, they did not hit it, on the contrary, it was England, and it played to the fullest!


    Every speed shock makes Argentina''s defense faltering!


    Decisive factor: space!


    At this time, Argentina wants to restrict the England team. It is not as simple as making the two sides of the midfielder retreat. The midfielder must be adjusted. The English heavy troops are in the midfield. After Belon attacked, England fought back. There is only one Simone behind Belon. Given Simone¡¯s position, the England team can completely penetrate the midfield with just one teaching.


    To solve the defensive loopholes, the formation must be changed, the offensive and defensive posture should be changed, and the personnel should also be adjusted.


    Belsa gritted his teeth, his expression stubborn.


    The score is behind.


    He did not retreat.


    No matter how it changes now, it will be Argentina¡¯s self-destructing Great Wall, and this is the shackles brought by the extremely powerful offensive technique and tactical system he built with one hand, like a shackle.


    The same is true for other teams. If England falls behind first, the opponents play defense and England make adjustments, it will be a risk-taking bet, because the best advantage is no longer available.

 Chapter 829： Blazing flames

    Sapporo Dome Stadium.


    Argentina is behind, the fans in the stands are still cheering for Argentina, and the English fans are cheering for each offensive.


    In their view, the England team was beating the Argentina team, but it was a bit of luck.


    The goalposts and beams can save Argentina once or twice, but they will not be the patron saint of Pampas Eagles forever.


    When Argentina does not take the initiative to restrict England, and is still giving opponents counterattack space, England''s counterattack threat will always exist.


    In the 43rd minute, Ortega played poorly in the right striker position, and was repeatedly annoyed by the ball in the double to make him very annoyed, so he withdrew and took the ball from the rear and brought a threat through the plate.


    This time he took an inward line directly at the front of the penalty area and tried to tear open from the defensive ribs of England.


    He shook past Lampard, but just after passing Lampard, Ashley Cole rushed up from behind and broke the ball. The donkey passed one, but still failed to pass the second.


    Ashley Cole couldn''t find the pass line in front of the field after stealing the ball, so he boldly crossed the right lane, seemingly no man''s land, but Phil Neville rushed to grab the ball before Solin Beckham in front.


    Beckham took the ball and strode the meteor forward. At this point, Lampard held back. Immediately, Ashley Cole thought clearly, and immediately rushed upward.


    Beckham took the ball forward, Simone guarded the midfield area as a big enemy. His enemy was not Beckham, Scholes, but Beckham was dribbling the ball.


    Placent moved sideways, he could not let Beckham pass the ball without interference, the opponent''s Bayesian arc is famous.


    Scholes originally slowed down, but observed the running position of other teammates. He decisively advanced forward. Simone knew that there was one placentra behind the guard and went out to defend Beckham, so he firmly firmly Follow Scholes.


    The reason why Scholes made a decisive move forward was that he saw McManaman''s running position.


    McManman, who had originally ran to the left of the penalty area, suddenly ran to the top of the arc, and Irving, who was on the front line, pulled to the back of the goal. It seems that Beckham came to bypass the pass of the defender''s line and fell to the back point. The ball, Owen has a great chance to form a shot.


    Pochettino gave up McManaman and could only switch to mark to keep up with Owen, who was pinned by Owen to the left-back area of ??the penalty area.


    Beckham didn''t make a cross on the wing. England rarely ran a cross, especially in a counterattack. As for the diagonal over the top, even if it was initiated from the side, it was not essentially a cross.


    He controlled the ball, with Sorin behind him, with Pleasant in front. The nearest Sorin, who was only two meters away, would catch up with him, but Beckham passed the ball across the middle.


    McManaman, who came to the middle, took the ball in the midfield area. Simone was now with Samuel against Scholes, so he gave up Scholes and rushed out to defend McMana. Man.


    McManaman faced Simone''s posture, slamming the ball gently to the arch of the spot.


    Simone turned his head and looked humiliated at the same time.


    Ashley Cole, a full-back, not only rushed up, but also went straight into the penalty area and rushed past the air between Samuel and Pochettino. Owen and Sco Sears'' containment is in place, and the weakness of the three defenders'' lateral defensive area is exposed again.


    And what are Argentina¡¯s defensive players doing?


    Zanetti returned from the side to defend, and it took another 2 seconds to share Pochettino''s defensive pressure. Solin did not actually form a defensive defense against Beckham.


    Ashley Cole''s running path after the ball was rushed directly to the penalty area, which shortened his route from the side to the penalty area. Why did he run like this?


    In addition to Aldrich''s key arrangements, his vision in front of him is very broad!


    After the England counterattack hit deep, Argentina''s overall formation was out of touch, and Ashley Cole was like a track and field player who completed a straight sprint.


    In fact, when he accepted McManaman''s pass, the ball was too big, because he rushed up too fast, if the Argentine defender line has four people at this time, and the distance is also balanced, then as long as the central defender moves laterally immediately Can destroy this England offensive, but they are only three people, and they are still pinned. Samuel moved laterally to destroy, using a flying shovel, but it is still far away, allowing Ashley Cole to break through first Line of defense.


    Ashley Cole, who rushed all the way to complete the 50-meter sprint, did not slow down until the last time. He lifted his left foot a little bit of a mixed ball posture, no matter where his goalkeeper was, he burst out with a kick!


    This ball is very similar to Beckham''s goal, but Beckham is on the right side of the penalty area, Ashley Cole is on the left, and Beckham has a rhythm pause when shooting, Ashley Cole is a gust of wind Passed, directly rolled up the ball to the goal.


    Caballero didn''t make a save. The ball entered the goal like a meteor from his head. He seemed to be unstable, and took two steps back to stabilize his body, then bowed his head.


    Who can stop this ball? If you really use your body to block it, you are almost hit by a shell.


    The Sapporo Dome Stadium is boiling again. Today, England is wearing a red jersey, and fans mostly dye the stands red. Argentina¡¯s light blue and white is like sea water. The stands are more like a boiling sea of ??blood!


    Ashley Cole exerted too much force when shooting, and the whole person lost his inertia and slipped to the ground, but he quickly got up and tried to lift the jersey with both hands, probably still sensible, and stopped taking off the jersey. Impulsively, he didn''t need Beckham''s repression to be released. For him, it was a moment of pride and laughter and celebration.


    Therefore, he smiled, closed his eyes and opened his mouth, shook his head, and ran away on the field intoxicatingly, let his teammates chase each other, let the fans be infected by his happiness and madness, stimulate, and forget themselves.


    "Ashley Cole! This is England''s biggest discovery in this game. He assisted Beckham and now he scores another goal to help the England team lead the rivals Argentina 2-0. This is cultivated by Millwall. An excellent full-back is the main force of the reliable three-legged sidewalk in the next ten years!"


    "Woo, Hall really studied Argentina. McManaman and Ashley Cole are undoubtedly the stars in today''s game!"


    Bielsa was bloodless. Before the halftime, the team was two goals behind.


    Aldridge finally raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, clenching his fists with his hands above his head, Jenson rushed out from behind and bent down to hug his legs and lift him up.


    Change forward and show your power again!


    This time it wasn''t disturbing the opponent''s defense, but a direct blow to death!


    Simone also lowered his head. He couldn¡¯t figure out. Bielsa¡¯s tactical design was fascinating in the depiction, as if he could crush all defenses and resist all attacks, but they seemed to be facing England in addition to their luck on the periphery. In addition to the long shot from the goal, there was no shot in the penalty area! Not once!


    On the contrary, every time the offensive of England reveals the threat of icy cold, he has to admit that if it is not luck, the English team may have led 3:0 in the first half.


    There is also Sanetti who also feels the turbulence in his forehead.


    When he was intercepted in Ortega, he wanted to help defend the middle of the road for the first time, but he saw that Lampard didn''t move, and then he dispelled this thought, and turned back along the sidewalk. McManaman, after all, Over there, only halfway through, he remembered that Ashley Cole had not come along the sidewalk before. He went to the sidewalk, which was influenced by traditional thinking. When he looked again, he found that Ashley Cole Er soared up from the left side of the middle road, and then wanted to block it, there must be no chance.


    England''s counterattack is invincible!


    Argentina has the pursuit of Argentina, England also has the pursuit of England.


    Different ways lead to the same goal, and victory is the eternal standard.


    Argentina wants to play romantic and gorgeous offensive football. England seems to have lowered its pursuit and did not pursue offensive football. But on the basis of pragmatism, they still pursue it. That is to deduct the defensive counterattack to the extreme and play magic anti-reaction. !


    In a year and a half, from a fixed template routine design, the England team became mature, and the offensive and defensive balance was relaxed. On this basis, it was also possible to pursue a strange move such as a change. This is the progress of the Three Lions. It also made the England national team in the Audridge era special. The English team in the traditional impression has long been unrecognizable.


    At the end of the first half, Aldridge turned his head directly into the player channel. The players of the England team gave each other high-five and communicated with excitement toward the player channel, while the Argentine players were very worried, morale was a bit low The way, in the first half of the game, they were very depressed, feeling no chance to attack.


    Bielsa also has some souls at the moment, how to adjust in the second half?


    Fans wearing red England jerseys in the stands were overjoyed and hugged each other while applauding. The red colors were connected together, and the dyed colors seemed like a blazing flame.

 Chapter 830： Golden boy chasing the wind, beating the waves

    The Three Lions have grown steadily for the past year and a half under Aldrich. After the away blood-washing of the German team, the soul of the team has been condensed. Aldrich¡¯s position in the hearts of the players has also gradually increased. It is a monument, a totem, a leader full of warning.


    So even though the Pampas Hawks were very enjoyable in the first half, and the score was also on the lead, the players would exchange excitement when they left the court, but when they walked into the locker room and saw the calm Aldridge, they Immediately sounded the alarm bell, sinking into the heart, throwing away the first half of the lead, joy, was replaced by prudence.


    Aldridge didn''t emphasize to the players that he shouldn''t be relaxed, he felt he couldn''t make it.


    In the World Championships in the past decade, some teams will crash due to mistakes in the adjustment of coaches'' technical and tactical skills, leading to crashes with less play and more lead.


    The first is the importance of the World Cup, which will allow players to treat each minute as a treasure, and there will never be a distracted thought. Secondly, the England team does not have arrogant capital.


    They are not Millwall, nor are Millwall¡¯s players who will not be particularly strong in the psychological impact of another Champions League.


    They are hungry and will never take the initiative to relax.


    If Aldridge overemphasizes this, it may be too far, causing the players to be nervous.


    As long as his on-the-spot command can''t cause trouble, Argentina has no luck against the sky, and the game has been firmly in the hands of the England team.


    With two goals ahead, Aldridge made an adjustment in the second half.


    Weaken the counterattack investment, strengthen the defense, weaken the offensive point is the full-back, so in the counterattack, they only rushed to the front line to create a threat of only four players, to ensure a solid back line, and two players on the midfield line are both defensive The defense system is more stable.


    Hearing the coach''s arrangement, the players nodded their lives.


    On the sidelines in the second half, Aldridge found Argentina''s substitutions at halftime, and two at a time.


    "Argentina replaced Captain Belon and replaced Belon with Aimar. Another adjustment was on the striker. The left forward Gonzalez was replaced by the small flea Lopez. It seems that Argentina has not changed in the formation, just a match. Substitution, Bielsa still pins his hopes on the player''s personal play."


    Aldrich did not believe that Belsa would only be a simple substitution, if that were the case, it would be naive!


    The second half of the game officially started, the England team is the same as the first half, based on defensive immobility, Argentina''s offensive routines are nothing new.


    However, when turning from offense to defense, Audridge saw the opponent''s adjustment focus.


    Substitution, Bielsa still believes that his 3313 attack is okay, he can''t play an offensive threat in the first half, it is because Belon and Gonzalez have problems playing, and there is no way to provide support to Batty.


    Bielsa didn¡¯t move this frame and wanted to limit the offensive in England. Obviously, Argentina¡¯s midfielder was too empty in the first half, so when he was counterattacked by England, the defender line and the midfield line continued to go up, the defender line Part of the focus is on the mark, and Simone goes up, making it impossible for England to calmly pass in the midfield during the attack.


    Aldridge didn''t make any adjustments. Argentina''s posture wasn''t dead until the Yellow River. Crazy people were really crazy.


    Don¡¯t attack or die?


    The England team weakened the backcourt investment in the counterattack. At the beginning of the second half, it was indeed not suitable for the defensive pressure of Argentina''s back line. After all, the first half was too loose, and the second half suddenly tightened. It needs an adaptation process.


    The Argentine offense has not improved much, and Aimar is not much stronger than Belon. Only after a wave of counterattacks after Scholes was intercepted by Simone after halftime, Aimar shook Bart to give Batty sent a good pass, but Batty was forced by Ferdinand with his body and wanted to pull the ball away from the angle. Instead, Southgate took the opportunity to step forward and succeeded in stealing.


    After playing for 10 minutes in the second half, the England team figured out Argentine''s defensive strategy, and they began to explode again.


    In the 56th minute, Lopez and Solin played two times and crossed the inside of the running position. After receiving the ball, he flexibly changed to rush in front of Ferdinand. Bart returned to the ball and broke the ball, stabbing the penalty area. , Southgate controlled the ball after a delay, not panic, but Batty, four meters away, immediately rushed to fight back, and Southgate calmly passed the ball to the sideline before Batty stretched his foot. Phil Neville at a distance.


    Lopez was not on the wing, Phil Neville did not stop in front, Solin went to mark Beckham, Neville then took the ball forward, when he came to the center line, when Aimar came over to grab, he passed the ball back To Bart, the latter made an oblique pass to Lampard in the left half.


    At this time, Argentine defensive blocked Scholes, relying on Simone stepped forward to snatch, but Beckham rushed forward, throwing off Sorin on the right, attracting Prasent to move here, Mike Manaman is still in the frontcourt, but he did not pull the edge, but pressed on the left side of the frontcourt. Lampard¡¯s front area, Argentina¡¯s defense predicted that Lampard would pass the ball to McManaman, In turn, McManaman focused on marking, and their guard line left the penalty area, about five meters outside the penalty area.


    Lampard had Zanetti next to him, and when Ortega came over to grab at the same time, he suddenly hit a mid-range ball, the ball flew up, over the top of Simone''s head, and went diagonally behind him. The area to the right of the front field.


    A red figure ran from the middle of the frontcourt to the side.


    Irving!


    Lack of pressure behind Simone, Owen used the outside of the foot to remove the ball, the ball turned and accelerated continuously, Samuel quickly came over to block, and Prasent also gave up Beckham, but he seemed unattainable.


    Originally, Samuel and Pochettino''s attention was mostly on McManaman. After Irving got the ball, he started at full speed. Samuel blocked the ball laterally. When Owen suddenly had a rhythm pause during the dribbling process , He thought that Irving would change to break from his right, but after a pause, Irving accelerated the breakthrough again according to the original route!


    At this moment, the golden boy Owen ball combination is perfect, and the speed has reached the limit!


    The last time I played in Sweden, I wasted several opportunities and was criticized by the media. The shot in this game hit the goal post as if the shooting boots did not bring Owen to Japan. At this moment, under the attention of everyone, people vaguely saw it. The figure of four years ago.


    Golden Boy Owen, with sharp eyes and moving eyes like a rabbit.


    Four years ago in France, an 18-year-old golden boy was born. He chased the wind, dribble the ball and hit the Pampas Eagle!


    Four years later, 22-year-old Irving is no longer chasing the wind at this time, but is setting off a storm!


    Shouldn¡¯t, shouldn¡¯t, Argentina shouldn¡¯t give him space to start. Simone¡¯s defense against Scholes gave Owen more space to run and take the ball so he could stop the ball and start. speed!


    There is still room for breakthrough!


    Isn''t this the stage where Irving is famous?


    If the line of defense is then in the penalty area, Samuel doesn''t even have to step down, as long as Owen''s shooting angle is blocked, what if Owen breaks through?


    However, now, when Samuel was breached, he immediately kicked his feet and turned to tackle.


    Golden Boy Owen, swift ball, legs and feet dodge Samuel''s long legs, the rock fell to the ground, unable to stop Owen''s pace.


    It''s over!


    Argentine defender line collapsed!


    The chasing teenager who was faster and stronger than four years ago single-handedly hit the goal of Argentina!


    The audience held their breaths, the Argentine fans prayed desperately in their hearts, and the English fans had already clenched their fists and were always ready to cheer for the figure of the wind, just like France four years ago.


    In this World Cup, Owen was given more tasks. He firmly carried out what Aldridge asked him a year and a half ago: a pass.


    It is this limited frontline response that England¡¯s offensive is not only fast, but also clean, and there is no shortage of changes, and Irving is not without opportunities, not without, if he can play beyond the level, he has already scored goals, and will be the team¡¯s number one Scorer.


    In this game, Owen also hit the goal post, Irving was not reconciled, how to be reconciled?


    England brought three forwards, he is the most famous, he is the most powerful, Ingra platoon formation, the man who is at the forefront of the siege, he is the only one who can give high hopes to all of England.


    This time, he wants to prove to everyone that Aldridge''s trust in him is correct!


    I''m the number one striker in England and I can''t replace it!


    In the penalty area, Irving was less than 10 yards away from Cavaleiro who abandoned the goal. The chasing teenager did not hesitate and did not think about it. He simply volleyed swiftly without giving Cavalero any chance to save. , Roll into the goal against the inside of the far post.


    The wind chasing teenager continued to run, running nonstop, spreading his arms, laughing in the sky, happy and hearty smile, could not see the surging ambition, the sharp edge of the blood-sealed throat...


    "3:0! OMG! 3:0! Irving staged his prowess, when he ran at full speed, no one in the world caught up with him, no one! Argentina''s defense line completely collapsed, they were wantonly destroyed and humiliated by England! This is a great England, this is a ruthless and powerful England, this is an England with the ability to realize our dreams! We should not set goals for Hall, and should not, it is a kind of humiliation, Hall and the Three Lions , Will pursue their dreams, which cannot be connected with any utilitarian value, that is extraordinary, that is dreamy, that is a magical journey that will be remembered in our lives, seeing the performance of England today, we were three The Lion Army is deeply convinced!"


    At the Sapporo Dome Stadium, the English fans in the stands jumped up and down with excitement. After the ecstasy, they sang loudly, praising the greatness of England and their dreams!


    The Argentine fans are numb and sad, and the blue and white waves are like a standing water at this moment, allowing the red flames to fly freely above the dragon.


    Half flame, half sea water.


    The flames are sky high, burning, burning passion and reason, and at the same time evaporating the torrential waves below, making it calm, silent, cold...


    The Pampas eagle proudly soars in the sky, free, romantic and unrestrained, as if the sky and the sea are free to conquer!


    The male lion from Europe is well versed in the law of the jungle, cold, patient, wise, not moving, and moving for nine days!


    The lion shattered the wings of the eagle coldly and mercilessly, causing it to fall into the world, and it was difficult to flap its wings again. The lion showed its sharp teeth, biting the eagle fiercely. The whine of the eagle was ignored...


    3: 0!


    Standing on the sidelines of the court, Aldridge was almost tired for the first half of the second half.


    He squatted down, like Bielsa before him.


    And he turned his head, slightly looking up at the moment of the sullen face of Belsa.


    Madman, dare to attack?

 Chapter 831： Missed appointment, over

    The rivalry between England and Argentina has been given too much content beyond the meaning of competition. 99% of people¡¯s content is beyond the reality of the World Cup, that is: qualifying, qualifying for the knockout, going on...


    Revenge, revenge, revenge.


    England wants vengeance, and Argentina also needs vengeance. For the past two decades, the Massachusetts War has filled the entire nation of Argentina with hatred of England. This is understandable. It depends on what hatred.


    Even if Argentina defeats England again, Britain will not return the island to Argentina and will not reverse the outcome of the war two decades ago, but the whole nation is looking forward to defeating England on the green field. Football is a spiritual opium If the Argentines can defeat England, it will make the whole nation as high as the sky.


    The Anglo-Afghan war has reached 60 minutes, and the scoreboard is already 3:0.


    The Argentine''s heart is already cold, not only the negative stimulus brought by the score. On the scene, the Pampas eagle makes people see no hope, even a little hope has never been ignited.


    At this time, most people''s thinking began to return to the essence of competition.


    Argentina will lose this game, undoubtedly, defeated by England with a kind of gorgeousness that no one can foresee, and that kind of gorgeousness, speed, dying, driving passion and excitement is what Argentina is after. .


    Calm down and think about it, the Argentinian began to panic, a huge panic!


    According to the current score, if, in another game in the same group, the Swedish team defeated Nigeria, no matter how many Sweden wins, the Swedish team will rank ahead of Argentina before the start of the final round.


    Goal difference!


    Yes, Sweden lost to England 1:3.


    And Argentina is behind 0:3 at this time, Argentina only won a trivial 1:0 in Nigeria. As long as Sweden wins, the Swedish team has the same score as Argentina, but the goal difference is definitely more than Argentina!


    This is the group of death. One goal, one goal lost, may make the whole situation change dramatically.


    Belsa probably thought of this too, and immediately used up the last substitution, without hesitation.


    The person he replaced: Batistuta.


    When the substitution card was played on the sidelines, Batty lowered his head and walked quickly to the sidelines until the score changed from 2:0 to 3:0. It seems that 2 to 3, this 3 is very special, so that the Argentine generals will Realized: Sweden also scored 3 goals by England, but Sweden scored a goal!


    Therefore, no one will have the goal difference in mind before the game and start to zoom in infinitely.


    Yes, before the game, the Argentine generals were so arrogant that they were ambitious to continue to teach England, just like the 86 World Cup, like the 98 World Cup, let England fall into the abyss again after winning the first game.


    Even if it is tied, or really lost.


    No Argentinian would think that the score would become such a real and shocking three-ball gap!


    This gap, while pushing Argentina to the brink of death, is kicking them off the stage of the World Cup!


    When Batty stepped off quickly, the hustle and bustle seemed to subside. People looked at him. From the beginning of the game to this moment, Batty received the highest attention, attracted everyone''s attention, and made people realize that before the game Batty''s sense of non-existence was as if he was invisible.


    I have to admit that the inevitable rise of the thought caused many people to sigh.


    God of War, old.


    The hero is late and sighs.


    The replacement for Batty was Crespo. After Batty got off the court, he sat on the bench and watched the expressionless face, but his eyes were in a trance, walking with Henry who was sent off yesterday in South Korea. The charm of the moment when the players look back is very similar.


    Not just attached to this stage.


    There is also a touch of perseverance in despair, a piety that asks God to let them fulfill their wishes.


    Batty, he has a date.


    The time is June 30, and the location is in Yokohama, Japan.


    At this point, he already had an ominous hunch that he had missed the appointment.


    God of War Batty, Wolf King Totti, see you in the World Cup final!


    And Henry, he also had a date. After the Champions League final, he shook hands with Ronaldinho: the Yokohama International Stadium will meet again!


    ...


    Argentina has run out of three substitutions, and Bielsa has forgotten the hatred of all peoples at this moment. People always want to see the reality. The job of football coaches must be unrealistic.


    Reversing the big turnaround?


    If Belsa still has this confidence, he is not a madman, he is really crazy.


    But he continued to ask Argentina to attack.


    With a pale face and crazy eyes, the pursuit is no longer a victory. It is simply a delusion. He only asks for goals, goals, one, or two.


    Before the final battle of life and death, Argentina can not be ranked behind Sweden, absolutely not!


    He finally sobered up, playing Nigeria, the opponent was conservative, Argentina only scored a goal by winning the goal.


    In the fight against England, the opponent''s platoon formation was also conservative, but now it has been filled with three.


    If the Swedish team is really ahead of Argentina before the start of the last game, don''t think, the Swedish team will certainly deal with them conservatively.


    What confidence does Bielsa have in this Argentinean 3313 set?


    On the highest stage of the green world, without absolute creativity and high efficiency of breaking through intensive defense, don''t do the dream of offensive football to conquer the world!


    That is beautiful, but unrealistic.


    Bielsa has also dared not turn his attention to Audridge not far from him at this moment. Argentina pursues high. In his concept, there are many and many offensive tricks, but England uses two points to make Argentina do nothing. All designs All turn into running water, the first point is space, and the second point is the number of defenders.


    If it is difficult to play Nigeria, there are some troubles. When Batty scored a goal and made people forget it, he continued to have great expectations for the 3313 offensive football.


    Then in this match against England, Bielsa''s 3313 can be completely thrown into the trash.


    offensive? The England team made the Argentine sports without even a shot in the penalty area. After playing for an hour, the sport had only five shots. All of them were long shots from outside the luck. The shots within the goal range were only a pitiful one.


    Is this offensive football? Where is the offensive? In the past, he was beaten by England''s quick counterattack and despaired howling, the game was not over, but the whole world knew that Aldridge and Bielsa''s sideline fighting method had already been awarded.


    The madman was crushed by the young commander!


    Even if the situation changes, England furiously attacks, Argentina fights back, I believe the score may be written backwards, but no one put a knife on Bielsa¡¯s neck to let him aggressively attack, knowing himself and knowing that one can win a hundred battles, if even his own team If you don¡¯t know a few pounds or two, don¡¯t you laugh at conquering the world?


    Before the World Cup, the crazy man said that the runner-up was a failure. At this moment, it has become a laughing stock, and has become the material of countless reporters writing articles and writing battle reports.


    runner up?


    Mo said that if he could reach the final, the group stage might be hung out!


    Aimar, Lopez, Crespo, Argentina''s second half changeover did not bring immediate results.


    Instead, in the 69th minute, City Gate almost fell behind again.


    McManaman got the ball on the left side and made a fake move in the process of dribbling the ball. It seems to have to pass back to the middle. This is also what he has been doing before. Pre-judgment, which also affects the pre-judgment of the defender. Pochettino unconsciously moved the center of gravity in advance to seal the line of McManaman''s pass to the middle, but saw McManaman quickly change to the penalty area to speed up the ball. .


    Breaking through Pochettino easily and directly into the hinterland of the penalty area, Samuel stared at Owen while retreating, he did not dare to fill the seat, really dare not, he believed that if he did something, McManner Man must send Irving with an assist.


    McManaman had a shot space, no pass, a short distance, and the angle was also a good chance. However, he was too forceful, but the angle was not good. He shot the ball on the side net with a heavy shot. At first glance, I thought I was in.


    The England fans in the stands uttered a huge sigh and immediately burst into warm applause. They did not overly blame the poodles. They played against Sweden and Argentina. McManaman undoubtedly played well on the field. For England players, fans will not have higher demands on him, because now they lead 3:0.


    McManaman was very annoyed. He wanted to score and wanted to leave his goal on the World Cup stage. Unfortunately, he didn''t know whether to say bad luck, or that he was intentionally a bit nervous.


    In any case, England made another attack that made Argentina''s spine cool, just a few centimetres away.


    Simone has already accepted his fate at this time. He is one of the captains. Although he has mixed feelings in his heart and the pain is the most, he has to bow his head to reality.


    Bielsa''s tactical arrangement in this game, not only could not restrain England and break through the opponent''s fortress, but in the targeted arrangement of the other party, the technique and tactics instead completely restrained Argentina.


    If you continue to play like this, Argentina will not score. Simone doesn''t know, but he will definitely lose the ball again!


    The reasons for his weakness, including his injury is not good, not in the best condition, he knows he can not stop the whirlwind of England in the midfield.


    After losing the ball, from 3 to 4, Argentina will not only lose, but will be washed by blood!


    He took the initiative to communicate with Zanetti and Solin, requesting at least one of them to serve as a full-back on the defense, filling the gap in the cross-section of the back line, compressing the empty space, and the other to assist in defending the midfield and acting as a midfielder. Anti-time task.


    Although it may seem vague to say so, Zanetti and Solin should understand that this is a free adjustment and coordinate with each other as the situation changes.


    Who plays the full-back, it¡¯s simple. McManaman is on either side, then the other side will naturally come to the midfield to share Simone¡¯s defensive pressure.


    After the adjustment of Simone''s command teammates, the Argentine team''s defense finally seemed to be balanced, the defense line was complete without obvious vacancy, and the mark was no longer a one-to-one mark. Some teammates could flexibly fill in positions and assist defense.


    In fact, this is the mainstream defensive mode of the world¡¯s strong teams. Attacking the strong and defending the weak is also the situation of the overall football environment. Even the best defensive player in the world, one-on-one defense, it is impossible to achieve 100% success and 9 successes. If you fail, you may become a sinner.


    Argentina''s adjustment was in 70 minutes. Aldridge naturally discovered the change in Argentina''s defensive posture. He turned around, walked towards the coach seat, sat down, and looked calm.


    The game is over.

 Chapter 832： Achilles Heel of the Three Lions

    After Aldridge sat down, the camera frequently switched between Aldrich and Bielsa. After 2 minutes, Bielsa also sat down.


    The fighting of the two coaches on the sidelines completely ended.


    Aldridge did not hold the arrogance and arrogance of victory, but Bielsa seemed lonely and helpless, and there was a trace of hesitation.


    It''s not that Aldridge disdains and fights against each other again, but that Argentina has retreated, withdrew, and abandoned their proud football style.


    Bielsa also sees this. He had the idea of ??roaring at the players, allowing them to bravely attack and try to get one or two goals.


    However, he couldn''t scream, thinking it was too cruel.


    Therefore, when six players in Argentina retreated to the half, even if the situation was disconnected from the attacking group in the front field, Bielsa was indifferent.


    He has only two options, either attack or defend.


    The three lines must be close, and no obvious distance can be drawn, otherwise it is not a whole.


    Offense, the wing players in the backcourt are going to go back to the 3313 system, but can players on the field, especially defensive players, be fair to them?


    Was it the defensive players who were brutally and brutally beaten by England¡¯s quick counterattack? Time and time again, they were fooled by the other party''s simple but practical pass-through cooperation, and turned around pretentiously. They were shocked to discover the defense loophole and were helpless. How strong was their physical and mental torture?


    However, Bielsa did not want to order himself to withdraw all front-court players to defend and completely abandon his offensive concept. This is a feeling and a self-pursuit. He has the style of Bielsa''s brand. Once he rewrites it himself, The ego will be subverted and lost.


    Do not bow your head stubbornly, do not admit defeat, not reconciled, do not want to extinguish that gorgeous romantic fire of hope.


    So from 70 minutes to 80 minutes, the England team completely ruled the midfield. McManaman tried the situation. He no longer pulled the edge, but returned to the midfield and began to cooperate with his teammates in the middle of the road. Mid Road helps England build an advantage.


    However, the Argentine team shrank the defense line, the front of the penalty area was full of noise, and the restricted area was overcrowded. The Argentine team had a defensive advantage in the most dangerous zone, and the England team did not pursue complex offensive cooperation. As long as there was a chance within 35 yards of the goal, Shooting, this is a bit of luck, or the signs of volley.


    However, this is exactly what Aldridge requested, because if it continues to develop, the offensive of the England team will still be very weak. The subtle cooperation in a small range is not what they are good at. The offense will play neatly regardless of the position. The fight is still counterattack, without delay, and never on the offensive end, slow and deliberately pass back and forth to cut the opponent''s defense line, because this can only be thought about, but it is very difficult to do.


    Lampard, Scholes, Beckham and McManaman took long shots in the periphery. Whether they hit the goal or not, they would make England fans cheer in the stands.


    In their eyes, the England team has relaxed and began to intimidate Argentina at will, as if their opponents are not worth mentioning, and it is not worth them to take all their skills to deal with, because the score has shown that the Three Lions have crushed the Pampas Eagles. .


    But those who think when watching the ball know that the England team actually has the same Achilles heel as Argentina, that is, the lack of creativity in the positional battle, and the lack of one''s own power to control the battle.


    So the England team chose a seemingly simple and violent method to play.


    "3:0, England won this game without any suspense, but, Gary, do you think there is something worrying about England? After McManaman''s shot hit the side net, the England team did not Another threatening offense, is the England team really relaxed, or is there still room for improvement in our offense?"


    "Relax? Impossible, the opponent is Argentina, England will not relax for a second, no. But now, I think it is still the core of England''s technical and tactical skills, like Lampard, Beckham, Scholes. It¡¯s really helpless not to rush into the opponent¡¯s restricted area and shoot long shots in the periphery, because there is no obvious forward pass, and Irving can¡¯t pose a threat if he runs alone. With a long shot, the attacking player will return to the middle and backcourt for the first time to ensure the quality of defense and avoid being counterattacked by the opponent."


    "Gary is right, we cannot say that the England team is perfect, but in my opinion, it is the most troublesome for the England team to encounter two teams. One is that the offensive football can really create terror pressure. This On one point, although Argentina is known as a big offensive football, but their ability to make threats in a small area is not enough to make the England team defensive chaos, so the England team can calmly fight back. The second kind is a team with strong defense, There will be no way for the England team to attack, and then? Maybe it is to see who made a mistake, or give it to luck to decide the destiny. In summary, there are two opponents with extreme advantages, extreme offensive or defensive."


    Andy Gray''s comments are straightforward.


    England is not perfect, the defense is not the top, and the offense is not the top, so if you encounter one of these two top teams, the England team will encounter the most difficulties.


    As for defense and offense can reach the top, then such a team will be impeccable, but such a team, this competition should not be.


    In the past, the balanced philosophy line that England took in the past was actually to hope that the offensive and defensive can achieve perfection. It was not their vulgarity, nor their willingness to be modest. It was too unrealistic to pursue. Both ends did not create an advantage in balance, but instead fell. mediocre.


    It''s not that Aldridge doesn''t want to pursue perfection.


    Even if the cook has the ability to make the Man Han seat, he can walk into the kitchen and see that there are only carrots and cucumbers. What can he do to make the Man Han seat?


    If the England team is strong, it will inevitably give up in exchange for the advantage at the expense of.


    Obviously, what Aldridge gave up was the offense. The offense was divided into two parts, the positional battle and the counterattack. What the England team abandoned was the positional battle.


    Their positional battle is not even as patient as a second-rate team. The second-rate team will also patience back and forth in the middle and frontcourts to find empty time. The England team will blindly use an irresponsible attitude when the opponent''s defense is tight. Ground kick, missed shot, blocked, and cared about, turned around to defend.


    Of course, this means that the England team is playing against rivals of its own strength, such as Argentina.


    England is like Sweden, and its paper strength is not as good as its opponent. It still takes a lot of pain in the battle of the position, but on the whole it will not be pressed by the army. Inspire.


    "Lampard plugged in and shot long before the penalty area! Cavaleiro blocked the ball and the ball bounced out of the penalty area. Scholes volleyed the ball non-stop! Huh, wiped the crossbar and deviated from the goal In fact, England has such a long shot, maybe it really has an effect. Lampard, Scholes, McManaman, and Beckham all have good at long shots."


    "Maybe Hall also combined the advantages of England in this respect to create such a brand-new England team. He must have considered it more comprehensively than us, so it is presented in front of us. We can only discover it little by little. reasoning."


    Simone roared at the teammates in front of him, letting them come back to defend, especially Aimar, relying on Simone, Solin, or Zanetti, the defense in the front of the penalty area still can''t withstand the defense, the back line is afraid to move, if Then the defender moved, and Owen might be able to seize the opportunity to counter offside, giving him space to stop the ball and shoot in the penalty area.


    The players in front of the Argentine team finally accepted their fate. Except that Crespo was alone in the front and was sandwiched by the England team, everyone else withdrew to support the defense.


    This is the case, after 80 minutes, Argentina finally brought the scene back to equilibrium.


    However, everything is late.


    The score is 3:0 and the Argentina team has no substitutions.


    Their players also see that the England team can''t play any tricks in their positional battles, they are weak in their minds, and they appear to be offensively weak, just like they did after they attacked wildly.


    If the game can be repeated, the Argentine players will definitely not take the initiative to attack again, absolutely not!


    If that''s the case, the game might become turbulent. The two sides saw in the midfield and ended in a draw. Unless there is any sudden turning event, after all, the creativity of the two teams in positional warfare is not top.


    Under the watch of more than 40,000 fans on the scene and the countless fans in front of the TV in the world, the last 10 minutes of the Anglo-African War seemed to be unsettled. After a period of contention between the two teams in the midfield, the English team took the initiative to control the rhythm. Argentina The field anti-robbing did not dare to invest too many people.


    When the game came to the 90th minute, the England team used the first substitution in the game.


    "The youngster Hargreaves came on to replace captain Beckham. This was a reward given by Hall to Beckham, allowing him to accept the cheers of the English fans on the spot alone. Look, Sapporo Dome Stadium stands, while wearing England Fans of the jersey and many neutral fans stood up and applauded Beckham."


    Beckham smiled and walked slowly at the end of the game. He also shook hands with the most famous contemporary referee Corina. When he walked out, he raised his hands above his head and applauded to the stands, thanking the fans for his heroic courtesy. .


    Clapping hands with Hargreaves, Beckham left the field, came to the coach seat, Aldridge extended his hand calmly, Becky hesitated, high-five with Aldridge, in fact, he wanted to hug Aldridge of.


    In this game, even if the lead is 3:0 in 60 minutes, Aldridge did not have the idea of ??replacing him early, because the situation is clear at a glance, the England team will qualify early, and there will be a group match left. He will send all the substitutes to the stage to give the main force The players have enough rest time, and there will be 10 days between the top 16 elimination games. So in this game, the main player can play the whole game and change Beckham at the last moment. It is also because this game is special to Beckham. Special moments.


    Hargreaves didn''t play very long, he didn''t even hit the ball once, the whole game ended in Kolina''s whistle.


    There were loud cheers from England fans on the spot, but most of the Argentine fans retreated sadly. Only a small number of them stayed in the stands to cheer on the team or were sad. It seemed like they had experienced a nightmare and it was unbelievable.


    Aldrich got up and walked to shake hands with Belsa. This time, Belsa stared solemnly at Aldridge for a long while. The two did not say a word. After the handshake, Aldridge came into the court to praise the player, while Belsa stood on the field. While watching Aldridge''s back, he couldn''t wipe his eyes for a long time.


    He had to remember Aldridge''s figure, so close, so real and shockingly destroyed his own efforts.


    He will not remember his hatred, because this is a lesson, hatred will only make people irrational, although Argentina will be forced to the edge of the cliff, maybe the ending will be a torrential flood, but Belsa is still trying to remember the opponent''s figure, persistent eyes , There is a touch of respect, and a touch of determination beyond the other side.


    Aldridge walked into the field, he smiled, smiled naturally, hugged the players, praised them in their ears, he just wanted to be restrained and encouraged, but the English generals took his neck and centered on him Gathered together to celebrate in the field, at the same time, it is also showing the world the unity of the Three Lions at this time.

 Chapter 833： Champions

    The dust between the British and Arab wars settled.


    A game that was not passionate from start to finish, but without a doubt became the most sensational classic battle since the World Cup.


    Compared with the defending champion France team''s unprecedented defeat, the strength of England and Argentina, the attention they have received, and the shock of the game process and ending have made the World Cup a small climax since the opening.


    Interested people, especially the coaches of the World Cup, can see that the England team has destroyed the ardent romance of the Argentina team with absolute reason.


    Simply put, it is a counterattack.


    But this counterattack effect is not simple. Compared with the traditional anti-counterfeiting, only a few fixed attacking players rely on sporadic fixed players to attack the city.


    The England team''s counterattack played a magical color, as well as the fascinating change of power. Ashley Cole became the MVP of the game with his one pass and one shot.


    This counterattack power directly hit Argentina in the second half and dared not to attack, and he did not dare to give England any counterattack space. Aldridge won Bielsa, won impeccable, and no one was unconvinced.


    At the same time, the teams that may meet England are also thinking about how to limit the England team''s counterattack.


    Group A is directly affected.


    In the Round of 16, the 12 in Group A cross against the 12 in Group E.


    And Group A is still confused.


    Denmark has 4 points and Senegal has 4 points, with a goal difference of +1.


    France 1 point, Uruguay 1 point, goal difference -1.


    The first two of the group are hard to say, because the team with the same point will face the team with 4 points in the last round. If France and Uruguay both win, this group will be chaotic to the point of madness: 4 teams All 4 points.


    In the face of football games, there are always a large number of people who will predict, and this prediction will make the public chase, crazy.


    Before the World Cup, Fleet Street previewed the advancement of the England team. The best situation is that both England and France qualify first, and then each team is second to the other team. After all, the French team is a strong team in the A group. Yes, so Fleet Street''s requirement for the England team is to strive to get the group first, otherwise it will be dangerous!


    No one wants to run into the winners of the past two competitions.


    However, after the two rounds of Group A and Group E, the French team dilute, but the French team released a voice, the soul Zidane will come back with injuries in the last game!


    Although the French team still has the hope of promotion, but if they advance, they are likely to be second in the group!


    The reporters at Fleet Street who are writing the World Cup report to prepare for the rehearsal of the knockout are crazy.


    World champion, European champion, how come you have such a script that no one can think of?


    If the French team wants to advance to the top 16 in the group, it is too difficult, not only to win in Denmark, but also to expect Senegal to lose, and the goal difference is more than Uruguay!


    After the end of the Great Britain-Arab War, Audridge attended the post-match interview. The reporter first congratulated him.


    "The England team scored 6 goals in two games and lost 1 goal in the death group. With 5 goal difference, it became the first team to advance to the top 16 in this World Cup, although it is theoretically possible to win the group second. , But the probability is minimal. Are you surprised by England¡¯s performance?"


    "Okay, we carefully prepared for the game and paid great attention to this competition. The players are in good shape and fighting spirit. The two games won and deserved. This is our strength and the return of our hard work."


    "The England team has advanced to the top 16. There are no teams in Group A that are sure to advance. If you are allowed to choose, which team will you choose as the top 16 opponent?"


    "In the World Cup, we will not pick opponents, whoever we meet, I will not think about it, no matter who the opponent is, I will not be surprised, not worried, and in the end, it will be the best performing team Instead of relying on luck, I think my players will also think this way. Now, we have to rest, recover, and prepare for the next game. When the knockout round of the top 16 comes, we will prepare for battle and strive to enter Top 8. Thank you."


    ...


    Aldrich walked back to the dressing room after the interview. The dressing room was already full of joy. The ground was scattered with jerseys, food, drinks, some players were taking a shower, some were dancing, some were taking photos, and some were chatting. .


    When Aldridge came in, the players stood up all at once, bathing in towels and standing in front of him. Everyone had a happy face on their faces, and there was a kind of self-confidence that they were proud of.


    Aldridge smiled: "First of all, in the last game against Nigeria, the two consecutive starters all rested. Eleven of the other 12 players played. Paul, I will give you 30 minutes to feel the atmosphere."


    Paul Robinson was very pleased. As the third goalkeeper, he was the spare tire in the spare tire. Not many teams will play for the goalkeeper. Not to mention the third goalkeeper, he can make the debut when the team has already advanced. In any case, in On the stage of the World Cup, it is a glory, and his appearance is a milestone. Needless to say, the main goal will be James.


    "Secondly, the restorative training will continue for three hours tomorrow morning, and then the 11 main players who will debut today will give you a day and a half to reunite with your family. You may not come back tomorrow night, but you will have to return to the hotel to report before 10 o¡¯clock the night after tomorrow. The other players will have a half-day vacation after tomorrow morning, and you will be officially preparing for the final group match starting the next morning."


    The players cheered in the locker room. Aldrich turned back and said before he left: "We are only in the group now. The real test has not begun yet. I hope you can stay sane."


    "Relax, coach!"


    ...


    The game of Sweden vs Nigeria almost made Argentina a little better.


    Nigeria advanced a goal, but the Swedish team completed the reversal twice with Larson''s score.


    In the end, the Swedish team won Nigeria 2-1, and the Swedish team scored the same as Argentina. However, the ranking jumped from the bottom of the group to the second in the group. With their advantage of a goal difference than Argentina!


    And Argentina fell from the second group to the third group, the final battle, the situation is very unfavorable, will be eliminated if it is invincible.


    On the same day, in the South Korean division, after defeating Slovenia 3-1 in the first round, Spain defeated Paraguay with the same score. Slovenia in the same group also returned home early after losing to South Africa. Spain became the second branch to advance. The top 16 teams.


    Aldridge returned to the hotel and was reunited with his family again in the future.


    The next day, the headlines of major media reports were the Great Britain-Arab War.


    "England jumped to the top of the championship!"


    "Three Lions crush the Pampas Eagle!"


    "Belsa put Argentina on a dead end!"


    From the pre-match popular England, miraculously became the first team to advance to the top 16 in this World Cup, and in the death group, the two strongest opponents in the group have been devastated one after another. At once, England became In order to win the championship, because they evened the Nordic iron ride and conquered the South American Eagles.


    Even if Spain were equally gorgeous in their two-game victory, the strength of their opponents made the gold content of the victory remains to be seen.


    Aldridge ignored the hype outside, supervised the team training in the morning, and began the vacation at noon. The coaching staff also took a vacation. One day and a half of the main players were reunited with their families, left the hotel, or went shopping, or in a foreign country Play and relax.


    Aldrich had originally planned to accompany his family to go shopping, and traveled around tourist attractions in Japan. However, the two sons seemed to be disappointed. They went around all around recently, and Japan itself is not big, especially Earl. He wanted to go to the game and watch the performance of his idol Ronaldinho.


    As it happens, that night, Brazil will have a World Cup group stage.


    Aldrich agreed to Earl, and Arthur and Amelia stayed in Japan. The two elderly people over half a hundred needed a good rest. They did not have the energy of young people.


    Aldrich took his two sons, and through some relationship with the FA, the father and son flew to South Korea by plane at noon, preparing to watch the game of Brazil vs China.


    When he first got off the plane, Aldridge''s phone rang. He picked it up and was surprised.


    "I rely on, Rafael, not at this time, do you want to buy players from me again?"


    "Cough, no, are you going to watch the Brazilian game?"


    "Eh? How do you know?"


    "A lot of people know that fans from South Korea have already come out of the stadium to meet you."


    "WTF, who leaked the wind?"


    "I don''t know, I happen to be here, and I''m going to watch the Brazil game, together?"


    "Are you interested in Brazil?"


    "Well, that''s right, their tactical system is worth studying. Watching videos or live broadcasts, naturally, it''s not as good as the audience."


    "That''s right, well, half an hour before the game, I met outside the court. I watched the ball in the VIP seat."


    "Oh, okay, it''s your light."


    "Well, see you then."


    Aldridge hung up the phone and rang out again, looking for the FA''s network and getting a VIP ticket.


    After Benitez returned to Spain, he was very proud. He took over the first season of the Bat Army and won the La Liga title. Aldridge saw him call and thought the other party wanted to dig out some knockouts from Millwall. It seems No.


    After all, Benitez and he still have the friendship to work with. At this time, Aldridge led the team to the World Cup. If he called to harass Aldridge with things like club transfers, he would not be respected enough.


    Aldrich took his two sons to and fro to Jeju Island, South Korea. The father and son three dressed casually, and they all wore frog mirrors. The two children looked quite happy, but the father and son trio were very warm together.


    Going around in Jeju Island, visiting, and when the appointed time is approaching, the father and son will go to the Jeju World Cup Stadium.


    When meeting Benitez outside the stadium, Aldridge has seen a large number of Brazilian and Chinese fans, as well as a large number of fans around the world and local fans.


    To his surprise, a lot of fans recognized him and created a lot of confusion, especially Chinese fans, who also particularly sought after him.


    Why?


    The Chinese team has Millwall players.


    Although Qu Bo was hired as a commercial aid to Belgium, but Qu Bo really stood against the aura of Millwall players, and these two seasons have grown steadily in Belgium. Torop coached St. Tourden, Has led the team to the top of the league, although Qu Bo did not stand in the main position in the team, but in the limited bench appearance, the performance is okay, especially his speed characteristics, focused on training by Tolop, often as It¡¯s good to use the soldiers or counterattacks. Aldridge will follow his performance regularly. However, judging from the age of Qu Bo and his growth, this age is still unable to gain a foothold in the second-tier European league. Wall became a member of the first team, it is really not optimistic, the bench is not qualified.


    However, regardless of the Chinese fans, Millwall originally had a large number of fans. In addition, with the relationship of Qu Bo, the Chinese love of the mad lion made Aldridge''s popularity soar again in Asia.


    Benitez was a little bit uninterested, watching Aldridge surrounded by crowds, had to dispatch the stadium security to maintain order, while Aldridge protected two calm sons, they struggled to enter the stadium .

 Chapter 834： Stronger Samba Corps

    Aldrich appeared in the VIP stand of the Jeju World Cup Stadium, which caused a lot of commotion. Fans around were competing to take pictures, or asked him to sign for a photo. Benitez smiled bitterly. In fact, Benitez is also a traditional impression. The young marshal belongs to the young, but standing with Audridge, young marshal? Not many people know him.


    Aldrich is used to coping with such scenes, signing and taking pictures with others, and even the two sons are not afraid of having a baby. They gather around Aldrich''s head and pose for a photo with others.


    The enthusiasm subsided until the game began, Aldridge and Benitez were seated next to each other, and the two sons were in the seats near the aisle.


    Looking down on the stadium, Brazil and the Chinese team are warming up, Benitez asked softly: "How do you think Brazil is different from Argentina? Today Europe is generally concerned about: Argentina has been ruthlessly destroyed by England with a defensive counterattack. What is the strength of a similar Brazilian team?"


    Aldridge looked indifferent and calmly said: "The South American duo look, they are indeed similar, but the hard power and the technical and tactical system are essentially different, and the power is naturally different. Scolari does not know if it is Anxiously criticized by Bailey, he actually thought of a coup, changing from 352 to 343, but now is not the best Brazil team, they are still improving, they are still discovering problems and starting to solve, the more they go, the Brazil team will stronger."


    Benitez looked thoughtful.


    Bailey slammed the Brazilian team¡¯s technical and tactical system, saying that it has been using 442, so the Brazilian team has changed to a 352 before, but under Scolari¡¯s win rate of less than 50%, lost 3 games in 6 games. Only changed 343.


    Argentina is 3313, in fact it can be said to be 343.


    Scolari himself admits that his tactical design is based on Bielsa''s Argentina team. After all, Argentina is in the South American qualifiers to overwhelm the leader, learn the strong and have a tradition since ancient times.


    Benitez asked softly after pondering: "In this competition, the South American duo have adopted a three-guard system. Argentina seems unsuccessful, but is it possible for the Brazilian team to carry forward this tactical system? Make it popular and popular?"


    Aldrich shook his head slightly, saying: "It''s difficult. Argentina''s paper strength should be considered in the top ten, but they still seem to be incompetent against a team like Nigeria. They meet opponents of the same level and are restricted from doing nothing. The world can say that Argentina¡¯s opponents are despicable and shameless, but the reality is that Argentina is not strong enough, and even if the Brazil team is strong, it is special. Scolari has built the offense into a top class, and the defense can only be regarded as top class. If there is no top class offense With firepower, Brazil¡¯s defense will fall sharply. You can refer to Millwall."


    Benitez suddenly realized that this was the reason.


    The Brazilian team¡¯s offensive trident, coupled with the wing double card configuration, actually played a role of substituting for defense, weakening opponents¡¯ offensive investment with super offensive strength, thereby reducing their defensive pressure, and Millwall¡¯s past three The tactical thinking of the year is consistent. In other words, if other teams want to learn Brazil, they must first have the top-level offensive configuration. Otherwise, not only will there be no offensive advantage, but the defensive flaws will also be infinitely enlarged.


    Ronaldinho warming up on the field is doing a short pass with Ronaldo to get acquainted with the sense of the ball. When the aliens see Ronaldinho somewhat absent-minded, he frequently looks up at the stands and asks curiously, "What are you looking at? This stadium is very unique. ?"


    "No, I heard that the England national team coach has also come to watch the ball, er, the head of my club. I will see if I can find him."


    Ronaldinho looked around the stadium stands, crowded, how could it be seen?


    Ronaldo stepped on the ball, watching Ronaldinho''s simple and ridiculous move, and said softly: "It seems that you have a good relationship with him."


    Ronaldinho shrugged and smiled: "Well, yes."


    Roughly calculated, Millwall is the most brilliant, and Ronaldinho has a copy in the honor book of the harvest champion.


    The club''s honor has been beyond count. This is the envy of aliens. He guessed that this should be the reason why Ronaldinho respected and loved the young handsome.


    There is no doubt that the relationship between Ronaldinho and Aldrich is very special. In addition to the mentor-roman relationship, Ronaldinho also has a grateful heart for Aldridge. It is Aldridge changed the destiny of his family. You can talk about everything, and you can play together unscrupulously.


    Until the end of the warm-up, Ronaldinho did not find the figure of Aldridge in the stands, but he knew that Aldridge was somewhere in the stands.


    By the time the game officially started, Ronaldinho''s expression had been completely renewed, without any slightest absent-mindedness, and became motivated.


    Even if the opponent is the fishy Chinese team, he still did not relax at all. Just like when the world''s commentators introduced the lineup of the two sides, he was the number one star to introduce. Then, it was Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Carlos. , Cafu...


    The Brazil team''s previous runner-up status in the World Cup is bound to aim at the championship, and it is also a challenge for Ronaldinho to win the throne.


    If he can successfully lead the Brazilian team to stand at the top of the world, even if he is only 22 years old, he will also stand at a height that many predecessors cannot reach!


    Dominate England''s four consecutive championships, rule Europe''s three consecutive championships, plus the World Cup champion!


    Although fighting in Asia, the Chinese team has a lot of support on the scene, but Brazil and Japan have a deep relationship, and with the gathering of superstars, here is more like the second home of the Brazilian team.


    From the first minute of the game, the Samba team dominated the situation on the field. The Brazilian team with a three-pointer must want to qualify in advance with a victory, and then prepare for the 16 rounds.


    Aldridge and Benitez frequently exchanged views in the stands. This Brazilian team has the capital to play offensive football, at least more confident than Argentina.


    Of course, player ability is part of it. The most important thing is that the technical and tactical system is more reasonable than Argentina, and it is full of change and creativity.


    The extraordinary creativity naturally comes from the ability of the players.


    "Although the formation of Brazil feels similar to Argentina, the difference is only in the midfield, Argentina is in the front and back position, Brazil is in the parallel position, double central defender, and mostly defensive, but this is the change that makes the two The offensive and defensive system of the attacker has a world-wide difference.


    Benitez nodded and said: "Yes, compared to Argentina''s backcourt defense system, the Brazilian team has a tighter level, a higher defense tolerance rate, and does not have a front waist. In fact, it makes room for the offense. Changes."


    "Well, Argentina''s wing is too crowded, because their winger, the winger, does not have the top level to play in the middle, while the Brazilian team''s Ronaldinho and Rivaldo are able to play. There is no front waist. This zone statically deprives opponents of defensive slack. At the critical moment, whether the central midfielder plugs in or the winger cuts into the middle, the opponent¡¯s defense will be greatly confused. The most terrifying thing is that they two Not only can each side move, but also has the ability to transform into a shooter through the restricted area!"


    Aldrich frowned as he spoke. In his work preparing for the World Cup in the past six months, although he had studied the Brazilian team, he did not focus on analyzing the Brazilian team at that time, because the Brazilian team was changing. Like the England team, in the process of growth, maturity, and improvement, even the Brazil team is to find problems and solve problems one game after another in the World Cup. The future, the stronger the Brazil team, not only the player status, but also The team''s technical and tactical system.


    Why did Belon of Argentina perform badly?


    Because he is similar to a fixed point. When static, the opponent will mark him in an area. When dynamic, he does not have room to play. Before and after, he is surrounded by his teammates, and he does not have the top position. Equivalent ability.


    But Brazil is different. The Brazilian team does not have a front waist. It is to vacate this area and leave it to Ronaldinho and Rivaldo. The two players who appear to be on the side. In fact, the two unexpectedly reached the middle. It makes its own system chaotic and can create huge lethality for its opponents. When they cut into the middle, the sideways space will also give Carlos or Cafu. This kind of offensive hierarchy and full-scale fire deterrence are called top-level. It is also because of this offensive change that aliens are not as difficult as Batty. On the contrary, smart aliens are activated and reasonable.


    The reason why Aldridge is willing to accompany his two sons to watch the game, in addition to satisfying the children, is also that he wants to observe the audience from a close distance, rather than watching the live broadcast to observe the Brazil team. Only a more macro perspective can be more Clearly understand the overall tactics of the Brazilian team.


    After watching for a while, Aldridge suddenly turned his head and asked, "What do you think of the technical and tactical level of the Chinese team?"


    Benitez showed a surprise on his face. Although one of the protagonists of the game was the Chinese team, to be honest, he was not interested in seeing the performance of the Chinese team. He had the same idea as Audridge and observed the Brazil team up close. Technical and tactical system.


    "The level? Very low... After reading some reports about the Chinese team coach Milu, I really don¡¯t know why China will hold Milu so high. He talks about many aspects of football. For truth."


    Aldridge lowered his head and touched his nose, saying nothing more.


    Yes, the situation is clear at a glance, the Brazilian team is dominant, and the Chinese team''s defense often has a dangerous situation, especially when Ronaldinho and Rivaldo cut from the side, the Chinese team''s two defensive lines, the midfielder does not know Measures, the backcourt is on the left and right.


    The most intuitive feeling is that Brazil is playing a dynamic soccer game, while the Chinese team is playing a static and conservative football.


    Although there is a huge gap in the strength of the players, it is surprising to be able to use the players in the supplementary position and assist defense in the face of the Brazil team¡¯s offensive routines that are actually very common in Europe. The overall technical and tactical capabilities.


    Milu, who led the Chinese team to the World Cup for the first time, did appear to be as simple as a textbook introductory chapter when it came to tactics in many reports.


    Just like he said 1+1=2, the Chinese think it is magical, but European football and world football have long been able to use addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. In the true top-level contest, it may be a function of defeating opponents. Levels of calculus.


    Aldridge will not degrade Milu, the opponent''s ability is obvious to all, after all, he also brought several different teams to the World Cup, it is impossible to rely on luck alone.


    Maybe Chinese football is really the desert of world football. It¡¯s true that even addition and subtraction haven¡¯t learned the skill yet.


    The Brazil team is very strong and stronger than Aldridge expected because of Ronaldinho''s stronger leader during the same period.


    In the 17th minute of the first half, Ronaldinho took the ball down the sideline and passed back. He ran back and walked the inside line. Carlos passed back to him again. This is actually not a very delicate cooperation, but it broke the China. The team''s rib defense, Ronaldinho cut the ball into the penalty area, falsely shot the real deduction, while pulling the ball back, the Chinese team has already turned back in the penalty area, can''t wait to defend his defender used a sliding shovel to block the shot angle, but let Ronaldinho Easily shake the pass line, cross, the alien pushes in place, easily breaks the door.


    This is Ronaldinho''s fourth assist in the second World Cup game!


    It was probably too easy to break the door. The alien with a happy Afu head shook his finger and walked to Ronaldinho. The two walked shoulder-to-back towards the side of the court to greet the fans.


    Ronaldinho smiled happily, looking up at the stand, his eyes burst into firmness.


    The World Cup is mine!

 Chapter 835： Forwardless tactics

    The Brazil team won and resolved the fight in 45 minutes. They scored 3:0 in the first half and scored two more goals in the second half. In 60 minutes, they used all three substitutions for the players to rest, and then they fell down. The score of 5:0 was like Come to play a teaching game, let the Chinese team realize the huge gap between the world''s top teams.


    Carlos, Ronaldo and Rivaldo each made a contribution. Ronaldinho scored two shots and one pass and became the MVP of the audience. He only played 55 minutes.


    After the stunning debut of the 3R combination, the 3R team continued to shock the world. The Trident averaged two goals per player and has not yet played the whole game. Who is not afraid of such attack firepower?


    Aldrich was surrounded by reporters when he left the Jeju World Cup Stadium with his two sons. He asked him what he thought about the performance of the Brazilian team. He used diplomatic decree to deal with it and quickly left.


    His presence on the court was interpreted by the outside world as an investigation of his opponent in advance.


    Although Aldridge did inspect the Brazilian team, but can he meet it, when will it happen, who knows?


    However, his leisurely and relaxed situation, when other coaches are still racking their brains for the group or preparing for life and death, the England team that is divided into the death group, their coach has the leisure to watch the games of other groups, which is worth the media Big book special book.


    The next day, half of the team will be on holiday, but Aldridge has to work and start preparing for the final group game, so he took the child to the Japanese division that night.


    When he returned to Tokyo, other teams in the World Cup broke out.


    The second round of the hot Italian team''s group match was reversed by Croatia''s two goals in 5 minutes. The media said after the game that Nesta had a direct impact on leaving and left the field within 25 minutes of the first half. The future of the European seed team It also looks a little dangling. The final round of life and death battle is quite unexpected.


    The European media is going crazy.


    England, who is in the dead group, made it early.


    Italy, Portugal, France, these teams are clearly in better situation, the team that should be no problem in the qualifying, but they fell off the chain one by one...


    The next morning, Aldridge looked at the players on the court in the training camp and expected to be 12 players, but he saw Scholes, Beckham, Lampard, McManaman and other players. Appeared on the training ground wearing a training vest.


    Despite giving them a holiday, there are still people who want to stay and train here. This is a good phenomenon. Audridge does not treat them differently and has a special view on players who have not given up the holiday.


    He divided the training into two groups. The players who returned from the holidays and returned to train for relaxed group ball training. In addition to regular running and running, the physical fitness is usually more relaxed and happy at other times.


    The other 12 players are trained according to the normal preparation plan.


    England has already qualified in advance. The last game has nothing to do with life or death. As long as there is no big defeat, the group will not be able to run first. It is a bit of a routine. However, these players are very serious in preparing for the battle. Obviously, most of them are very young. , Some are the first time to enter the World Cup stage, such as Terry, Carrick, Mills, etc., most people must still have a good performance, and strive to replace the main starting momentum in the later games.


    The positive factor is that there is no pressure, they do not need to bear the pressure of the record to play, which helps ease the psychological pressure brought by the competition.


    Against the opponent Nigeria in the next game, the England team must not be able to fight back, so Aldridge told them more seriously in tactical training.


    "Frontless tactics? Boss, what is this stuff? What am I doing?"


    Rooney was suddenly anxious when he heard Aldridge''s arrangement.


    Wu Feng?


    Can he still play?


    The teammates next to him smiled, and in just half a month of getting along, everyone was at least familiar with Rooney and figured out how strong this kid is.


    He is not particularly shocked to be absolutely gorgeous, but his basic skills are very solid. In addition, his green face with freckles is easy to be ignored, but I don''t know that this sturdy young man''s body has quite a good explosive power.


    To put it bluntly, it is a small character with second-class strength, but because he is too small and unknown, if he is ignored, there is more room to play.


    Aldridge pointed at Rooney and scolded: "I''ve only spoken halfway. What''s your name? Did you play for the youth team for two years and you only have the opponent''s goal and defenders in front of the court? Listen to me clearly, no Feng is just an argument."


    Rooney didn''t care. At this time, his newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and Aldridge was not really angry. Hearing the laughter of his teammates, he knew how relaxed the atmosphere was.


    "So what formation do we play?"


    "What did you learn at the club? Did you listen carefully to the coach''s guidance? Formation? What is the point? Come and see, this is the starting formation, 451, your position is the front waist, are you the whole game? You will be active in this area in 90 minutes. Will you not go anywhere else?"


    Aldridge circled the front waist area of ??the tactical board to question Rooney. Rooney stopped talking at this time, knowing that more and more will only be taught.


    There are two different interpretations of the so-called frontless. One is the starting forward player without a positive mark. For example, like Spain in the future, why is it called a frontless? Because they can eject a set of starters without a positive striker, but there will still be people in the arrow area and forward position.


    The other is that the starter does not have a forward in the forward area, the attack is based on the back row of the midfield, the midfielder, the original traditional second echelon and even the third echelon suddenly attacked. At this point, the future Spain has also played out , Falling on the perimeter, falling, falling, there is no one in the forward area, but falling backwards, confusing the opponent, and suddenly a midfielder or a wing player cut in, forming a fatal blow.


    Aldridge''s forward-less tactics are very different from Spain in the future. Football philosophy is different. Spain focuses on ball control and Aldridge focuses on defensive pressure.


    This concept is advanced. In the traditional concept, the control and shaping of the game come from offense, and then there is the saying that the midfielder has the world, that is the dominance of the midfield.


    However, two years later, a new type of control and reshaping the concept of the game began to germinate, that is, defense, unlike the traditional defense after a successful backcourt to fight back quickly, people realized that through tough defense, they can also control the game and renew Shaping the game situation, the emergence of this kind of control comes from the Greek mythology of Rehagel, because Greece is not furiously fighting back, it is patiently controlling the game through defense, only when it is high or the opponent is obviously empty Only then can the full force be exerted, and the idea of ??defensive reshaping the game comes from this.


    And what Aldridge wants to use is not the defensive control philosophy of the Greek team. Because the opponent is Nigeria, he wants to use it. It is the development and extension of this defensive philosophy. On the basis of not controlling the ball, it is on the ground. It is necessary to rule the game in a brutal way, creating a seemingly chaotic but overbearing game dominance. It is Simoni''s Atletico Madrid that has developed this kind of philosophy to a certain height.


    "Guys, against Nigeria, it is a test for you, because you need to accept some unfamiliar ideas. If you can play well, we will surprise Nigeria. Even if it is an unrelated game, we can still play a dazzling style. It can make the world open our eyes. If you want to do this, you will try to meet my requirements in the next few days."


    The players shined, and it was a joy to start, they naturally wanted to be red and purple, and became famous in the first game. When they heard that Aldridge had new ideas for the game, they couldn¡¯t wait to listen and hope to become an Olympic. A strange soldier in the tactical marvelous effect of Derich.


    "Why do I say it is a tactic without a forward? Because on the surface, our starting forward will be Smith, but in fact, he is a front waist."


    ...


    During the final group match for England, the second round of the other group matches of the World Cup was fiercely staged.


    Portugal finally let people feel a little relieved. In the second battle of Poland, the 4-ball victory made its final battle worth looking forward to. However, in the same round of Tai Chi Tigers shaking hands with the Son of Freedom, Portugal and South Korea will play in the final battle. In the battle of life and death, if you are invincible, you have to be out of the game. In the end, there is still hope.


    In the Japanese division, Japan cut Russia down and was promoted to the top of the group. The final round was against Tunisia, the weakest team in the group. The road to promotion is bright. The European Red Devils Belgium will start a life-and-death battle with Russia.


    The final round of the group stage is about to start, the team that has booked the return ticket fights for honor, and those who still hope to advance will fight hard.


    The day before England set off for Osaka, he attended the pre-match press conference as usual and talked about the last group match. His mentality was relatively relaxed, and he directly pointed out that he would give the bench players a chance to debut.


    "In the past, England¡¯s international competition was not very satisfactory. It is related to England¡¯s absence of winter breaks and the intensive domestic schedule. Taking Millwall as an example, last season, we combined all the games, 38 league games and 17 Champions League games. Seven games in the League Cup, seven games in the FA Cup, Super Cup, Toyota Cup, Charity Shield, played a total of 72 official games, this is not a warm-up match, as well as the various international players rushed to the national team to play, there is no break in the middle In the summer, the players will definitely be very tired, so we will use all conditions to rest the players and ease the huge load on the body. In the last game, the young guys who worked hard in the first two games should rest and rest. At the same time, We have some good young substitutes. They deserve to feel the atmosphere of the World Cup. Standing on this stage and gaining some experience will be very helpful for them in the future."


    "Should Wayne Rooney, 16 years old, also get such a chance? He has no record of a professional game. Shouldn''t Wassel be selected to learn from the young striker in England?"


    "I think Rooney''s talent is special. It is top-notch in England. The use of young players should be cautious. I have always believed in this principle. Tomorrow''s game is a landmark game for Rooney. The first official game is to play The World Cup sounds incredible, but the current situation will not put him under too much pressure. As I said, feeling the atmosphere and accumulating experience is the most important thing."


    ...

 Chapter 836： New violence aesthetics

    On the day before the final game of the England group stage, the World Cup''s parting curtain officially opened.


    If it is said that a team like Saudi Arabia and Nigeria early announced that they were out, it was not unexpected, as if it could be foreseen, but the world-class strong team returned home in the group stage, and it was really full of shock and cruelty.


    Gaul Rooster, go home.


    In the final life-and-death battle of the French team, even if Zidane returned with an injury, he could not save the fate of the French team. Two goals were lost to the Danish team of the fairy tale division. The double material champion set a defending champion group match. recording!


    The Danish team won the top of the group with three goals and four goals in three games, avoiding the encounter with the England team. Their top 16 opponents are either Argentina or Sweden.


    Senegal, who first entered the World Cup, let the world remember them, absolutely remember, and never forget!


    In addition to defeating the defending champion France in the first game, it was almost in the final game of the group to create another classic game of the World Cup with a big crash.


    Leading at 3:0 in the half, the score became 3:3 in the 88th minute of the game.


    Uruguay only needs one goal to complete the earth-shattering reversal, and also reached the top 16.


    Unfortunately, Uruguay seems to be in a state too late. In the 270-minute group stage, they only seem to wake up in the last 45 minutes.


    Senegal¡¯s passion is remembered by the world, but their top 16 opponents are basically no surprise: England!


    When Senegal celebrates the historic feat of reaching the top 16 for the first time in the World Cup, there is much respect and a little pity in the outside world: Cherish the time to celebrate, 6 days later, maybe you will have to go home.


    On the Japanese side, the German team defeated Cameroon by 2-0 and locked in the top 16 to advance to the top 16. Klose scored again. He has scored 5 goals, a number that makes the media in the world crazy, and a distance from the World Cup. The golden boots have been close to the number for more than two decades. However, the German team is still worrying and constantly worrying, because in the game, Kahn always grabs the shot, Olembe¡¯s single-handed, Lauren is near The header in the distance, Mbomar''s shot... Kahn seemed to be a god, and Cameroon was suffocated!


    And is this a good sign?


    Of course not. The goalkeeper grabbed the mirror and became a hero. The problem reflected was defense. Therefore, even though the German team advanced strongly, they were still not optimistic.


    Sadly, Saudi Arabia is estimated to rush home by plane. Ireland sent them three eggs without hesitation. In this way, Saudi Arabia left with a total defeat of three games in the group stage and did not score a net of 12 eggs. World Cup.


    On June 12, Osaka Nagai Stadium.


    The atmosphere of today''s game is not as warm as before, after all, the excitement and attention of the game are not as high as before.


    Nigeria is out and England is promoted. In the last game, the former is for dignity. The latter, er, looks at the starting lineup. It seems that it is the first match of friendship and the second to give the African brothers some face.


    Most of the fans in the stands are mainly appreciative, and they are not nervous and very relaxed.


    When Aldridge entered the field, the Nigerian coach took the initiative to shake hands with him. Onibind, the teacher-born African, came to Aldridge. Aldridge shook hands with him and said a few words.


    "Today¡¯s most watched game is definitely the game of Argentina and Sweden, which started at the same time. The game of England and Nigeria will have no impact on the situation of this group, unless Nigeria cleansed England and beat England¡¯s goal difference, while another The result of a big score in a game, this should not happen."


    "Haha, Andy, what are you worried about? Hall sent a group of young people, worried that they might have messed up?"


    "Just kidding, does anyone worry about England now?"


    "Oh, anyway, we look forward to England''s full efforts today. I believe that these guys will not be slack, and they don''t have any pressure, as long as they enjoy their performance."


    "Let''s take a look at the starting lineup of both sides.


    England started with 451.


    Goalkeeper: James.


    Guards: Mills, Terry, Campbell, Bridge.


    Midfielders: Dyer, Carrick, Hargreaves, Rooney, Joe Cole.


    Forward: Alan Smith.


    Nigeria started with 442.


    Goalkeeper: Enyeama.


    Defenders: Yopo, Okolokovo, Udze, Sodeje.


    Midfielders: Christopher, Okocha, Obio Lah, Agahova.


    Forwards: Agbu, Opapuni.


    Nigeria has determined that they will leave the World Cup after playing this game. They can no longer be as conservative as the previous two games. Looking at their platoon formation today, it seems that they want to break the wrist with England and defend the dignity of African football. This is a good thing. , We hope it will be an open game. "


    "I believe that the people who are concerned about this game, the most curious is the England teenager, Rooney, he is not yet 17 years old, actually started on the World Cup, and is the first official game of his career, too rich Amazing colors!"


    Needless to say, Rooney, who was lined up in the English jersey and standing in the field at the moment, already looked solemn.


    This was the start of his unexpected career.


    He fantasized about making appearances in the FA Cup final like Ronaldinho, imagining making appearances in the Toyota Cup final like Ronaldo, and dreaming of being remembered for the first time like Shevchenko when the team needs it...


    No matter what he thinks, he never imagined that his career, the opening debut, was actually the World Cup!


    He knows that in London, his family and friends must be holding a glass of wine to celebrate, cheering his name, parents will record the game with a video recorder, will use the camera to record the moment the family records this moment.


    Thinking of this, he raised his chest and raised his chin a bit, his body was full of fighting spirit, just like the temperament he showed in the Millwall youth team: a strong desire to fight!


    With the whistle of the referee Brian Hall, the game began.


    Despite being a walk-in game, Aldridge still stood on the sidelines, but it can be seen that he is not as serious as the previous two games. At least he took off his suit jacket. At 2:30 in the afternoon, the weather can be It''s hot enough.


    Standing on the sidelines, Aldridge has his own mind.


    The world knows that this is an insignificant game, but he will not waste a minute of the World Cup.


    It is the players who play football, but as the head coach, he has what he wants to show, that is his talent, ability, style, football philosophy.


    The most important point for UEFA to praise him as a master is to teach creativity.


    The green world is as strong as the forest, but there are not many strong players who can be remembered, and he just wants to make a brand that belongs to him in an era where the team he coaches.


    This is not fixed by the style of football. It takes time to be understood by the outside world, familiar with it, and finally accepted and unforgettable.


    "Huh? The style of the England team today is completely different from the previous two games. They pressed from the opening. Even if the opponent got the ball, they would still not rush back to the backcourt. Hall is trying to use Millwall''s high position to grab the tactics. Won the game? This may be a bit risky, because these young players do not have the terrible offensive pressure."


    The relaxed commentator was very surprised after seeing the posture of the England team after the opening.


    The England team is like a wolf.


    Smith, Joe Cole, and Rooney rushed to the top. The back echelon had Dyer, Carrick, Wedge Bridge and Mills. The rear defense triangle was more stable, but the distance from the front big troops was also Keep it very reasonable. Behind the air, it¡¯s not too big or too small. If you run into a speed forward, you definitely have enough room.


    England looks aggressive, and it is not self-limiting.


    Dyal scored the ball, Carrick responded, straight through to kill Rooney on the first line, Ude Zee cut off!


    "Strange! Hall is not angry? England played like this, it really seemed to be back to its original shape, Carrick''s straight was too obvious, everyone could see, Rooney was only concerned about the running position, the ball was broken behind him. , The ball is given to the opponent, where is Smith? God, the formation of the England team is a mess! How did Smith run back to the midfield to defend? He is a forward."


    The scene was chaotic. There was nothing new about England''s offense. The formulaic pass was predicted to be normal. It was not difficult for Nigeria to defend head-on and there was no threat of personal breakthrough.


    But why is there confusion?


    Because Nigeria¡¯s ball was transferred from defense to offense, and there was no master organizer. The pass is also formulaic. It is not surprising to be prejudged. Less than 3 seconds after their successful defense, the England team pressed them close to the body. It''s fierce, and, like the England team, it seems that they are waiting for them to do so!


    Nigerian coach Onebind looked at the situation on the court and was confused.


    The England team is working on wool?


    They ran back and forth violently, seeing people dizzy, the rationality of the formation, the distribution of the positions, unbalanced, like a group fight...


    Christopher, the right-hand forward, finally took the time to wait for his teammate to pass the ball, and the teammate passed the ball to him. However, before the ball reached him, he found that England full-back Bridge had posted it and directly contacted him. The body clung together, entangled together, and at the same time, the horizontal Carrick also rushed to his side in a murderous way, as well as Smith on the front right.


    Christopher suddenly realized that he was isolated, the ball hadn''t touched yet, but he had to physically fight against Bridge. He wanted to leave, but the shirt was hidden by Bridge, his strength was blocked, and the touch of the ball was not controlled. Good footwork, stop it!


    Carrick came and led the ball away, turned around, and directly passed the ball to Smith in front of him. Smith then turned around and passed straight ahead.


    The England team tucked the goal into the penalty area!


    Someone succeeded in anti-offside, Joe Cole!


    Nigerian players have a bit of a head loss.


    4 seconds ago, they were attacking!


    Joe Cole faced the goal diagonally at the rib position of the penalty area. An opposing defender was blocking his shooting angle. Joe Cole suddenly stopped the ball and turned the ball laterally, pulling the ball diagonally. The 16-year-old Rooney Catch the ball and hit the ball without stopping.


    boom!


    Hit the plane!


    Joe Cole looked up at the trajectory of the football flying to the stands. The first thought was: It''s better to shoot by yourself! The second thought is: laugh.


    Before the game, Rooney specifically pulled him and kept telling me: pass me, pass me, pass me...


    Laozi passed a single knife to you, but you hit a plane.


    Joe Cole simply wanted to point at Rooney''s nose and laugh.


    Wayne Rooney swears, probably cursing himself.


    But when he turned around and ran back and forth, he also gave thumbs up to Joe Cole, indicating that the other party''s pass was good.


    Nigeria completely did not expect to encounter such an England team that was completely different from what was expected.


    Shouldn''t they retract to fight back?


    After 3 minutes, Nigeria just blocked Smith''s long shot and launched an attack from the left. Agahova was damaged by Rooney behind him. Dyer led the ball directly and killed it alone, without neglect. Suddenly crosses in front of the penalty area, Joe Cole runs inwards diagonally, leading the ball and dribbling into the penalty area. It is also a single-handed ball. He hits the far corner and the ball rubs the goal post and flew out of the baseline.


    Joe Cole exploded verbally, presumably cursing himself.


    Nigeria is completely panicked, and the fans watching the game at this time are either fans or coaches, all of whom are interested.


    The England team showed the game today an unforeseen picture.


    A holistic, team-oriented, fast-paced violent aesthetic!

 Chapter 837： "Dirty" rough dude

    Nigeria was caught flat-footed, coach Onibinder trembles in his heart, he is a negligible little person in the green world, coaching Nigeria is still a second-entry palace, the last time was more than ten years ago, failed to lead Nigeria into the World Cup and Was fired, this year led the African Super Eagles to compete with the world''s leaders, Nigeria failed to bring many surprises to the world, in addition to the record, but also including their technical tactics, originally, African teams can not talk about technical tactics. How superb it is, naturally, cannot be expected by the outside world.


    This is the limitation of the African team itself. There is a lack of football talents. Anyone who has a good seed will be quickly sent to Europe for development. After training and growth, he will return to Africa to serve the motherland, but the overall level of a national team is not high. There is also a clear gap in the distribution of player levels. It is extremely difficult for the team''s technical and tactical strength to be integrated into a whole. It is a fantasy to want to make a breakthrough.


    The level of coaches in Africa is naturally unable to compete with Europe. Onibind sees Nigeria on the field as passive, and naturally thinks that Adrich is superior and produces awe.


    He hasn''t figured out what the England team is doing.


    At first glance, those shots may seem to have luck, but once, twice, three times, four times, the England team keeps getting the chance, the fact is very clear. This chaotic picture on the field, England itself can Sort out orderly.


    In the 19th minute, when referee Brian Howe kicked Joe Cole on the wing defense to show the first yellow card of the game, the English commentator guest Reinkel said in a puzzled way: "Is it , Is it over?"


    Andy Gray and Martin Taylor haven''t had a short talk in a short time.


    Reinkel¡¯s ¡°over¡± does not mean that the referee showed a yellow card, the penalty is within a reasonable range, and even three minutes ago, Joe Korla¡¯s action of pulling Udze can already be shown. Yellow card warning.


    This "over" refers to the defensive aggressiveness of the England team.


    The situation on the court, the players are fighting, the England team seems very violent!


    This violence comes first from speed.


    Not the speed of attack, but the speed of defense.


    The attack from the back to the front is nothing more than three main directions. From left to right, no matter from which side Nigeria is attacking, England is heavily involved in the midfield. Even when it is turned from attack to defense, there is no shadow of any English player on the forward line. It is conceivable that they have 6 players who retire to the midfield, plus the slight premise of the defender line, and then there is a new attack line in Nigeria that is unpredictable and easy to be predicted. Whenever the Nigerian receiving team has not touched Before the ball, the local siege of the England team appeared.


    When the wolf-like English players defended violently in partial defense, especially the players who chased back, they almost rushed towards the opponent with a team member rushing in, and the opponent responded slightly. The opponent responded slightly, and a second person must come up. Then make more secure and accurate steals.


    And sometimes Nigeria makes adjustments to control the ball steadily and let the rhythm slow down. The action of the English player''s close **** is slightly rough, even pulling, because there is definitely no tactical foul involved, and there is no obvious attacking opportunity. The referee is not good at showing the yellow card when the action is not out of bounds, but patience will always be limited, and Joe Cole''s yellow card is derived from this.


    The rough style of the England team is extremely violent.


    This makes it incomprehensible when first seen.


    Can it be done?


    The England team has already qualified early!


    In the general public''s perception, such a brutal, small movement of continuous defense, the first act is despicable, after all, football, you should kick with a foot, covertly pull the opponent with your hands, what is a hero?


    Furthermore, even if a team is forced to do this, it must be a battle of life and death.


    But when England plays like this, they really don''t know what they are trying to do, and they can easily anger their opponents.


    If you want to secure the first place in the group, as long as you play conservatively, you will be dull. 7 points is definitely the top of the group.


    All of England''s predictions have been missed by England. They played extremely unrestrained and barbaric. The Nigerian gangsters are a bit overwhelmed.


    Reinkel''s doubts may be the doubts of all fans watching this game.


    The reason why Andy Gray and Martin Taylor didn''t answer the call immediately was because they explained more than 70% of the game of Aldridge''s coaching career.


    They know that this young coach, known for his tactical attainments, who is well-known for his ruthless wisdom, will never allow the team to play a kind of "messy" football.


    I didn¡¯t see Audridge¡¯s dissatisfaction on the sidelines. Even the young commander was extremely calm, as if everything was under control. When Rooney flew back and made a tackle, he only saw the young commander rushing, pointing. Rooney shouted loudly, not knowing what to say, but Rooney pushed the opponent out of the sideline next time when he was defending, but was applauded by the young commander.


    Obviously, the commander was angry that Rooney irresponsibly shoveled, but he struggled to chase Rooney back and destroy the other party''s offense. Even on the sideline, there was an obvious push but not angry, but praised.


    Well, England played this way today, it was the young coach''s approval, and it was definitely his plan.


    The discovery left the narrator in England puzzled.


    People walk high and water flows low. It stands to reason that the pursuit of a handsome young man should be stepped up and placed in the football world. It is gorgeous, mercury-laden, and the offensive football in the spring and snow. Become rough, violent, and even dirty!


    Aldrich naturally has his own pursuit, but it is different from the pursuit of secular recognition. If you want to say what style he has, it is to look at the food, teach according to the aptitude, and adapt to it.


    Can be gorgeous, we are gorgeous.


    It doesn''t look gorgeous, it doesn''t matter if it''s dirty.


    The result is the most important, and victory is an eternal goal.


    It is undeniable that the England team played so well and it looks very effective!


    After playing for 30 minutes in the first half, the England team made 11 shots!


    However, they are too rough!


    11 shots, only one hit the goal range!


    Of these 11 shots, only 4 were forced outside kicks. The other 7 shots, 5 shots in the penalty area, and 2 outside the penalty area, the chances are good. If there are top players on the field, I am afraid they can score at least 2!


    Even Joe Cole, a player with a strong technical ability, did not hit any of his three shots. It also stemmed from his lack of single shot ability in the penalty area. After all, a player with a good skill may not be a good shot, but the shot is only technical. One of the capabilities.


    In the 31st minute, Nigeria launched a long pass, Campbell made a header and the England team had no one on the front line, but when attacking, the back row was plugged with defense.


    After Dyle''s breakthrough, a long pass to the left side of the diagonal, Joe Cole plugged in and sent a good pass to the ball.


    Rooney headed the ball after rushing to the goal. In the eyes of everyone who looked forward to it, everyone subconsciously thought that the ball must be entered, but Rooney put the ball on the goal post and bounced it out.


    Rooney kicked the goalpost with hatred.


    There was a huge sigh in the stadium.


    Everyone was helpless.


    Does Nima not enter?


    Aldridge covered his face with one hand on the sidelines.


    A group of rough brothers!


    Nigeria has escaped again, and now they are already overwhelmed with fear.


    If who is the safest when attacking is Nigeria¡¯s two central defenders. When they have a ball under their feet, the English team does not grab and go back to block the other goal points, but Nigeria can¡¯t always return to the two central defenders. Are you down?


    And as soon as they attacked, the England team that had gathered heavy soldiers in the midfield began to play in a row and suddenly collapsed. After the defense was successful, they quickly attacked forward. Sometimes they looked stumbling, and sometimes they caught the air and played a threat. Offensive on the table.


    "The England team is not blindly rushing. Smith is not playing the striker today. Who is playing the striker can not be seen. Rooney, Joe Cole, Dyer, and sometimes Carrick will rush into the penalty area to complete the shot. England team ''S defense is planned, no matter which side of Nigeria''s attack develops, English players who are far away from the defense will be able to start the position at the right time, so you can see that five players in the English midfielder took turns to the first line. At that moment, the player who killed him was the striker. More often, they were all midfielders. This kind of defensive oppression gave the England team a huge advantage in the midfield and frontcourt. Yes, I have to admit that the half of the game did not end. The England team scored a 15-foot shot, which came from the advantage of defensive oppression."


    Andy Gray saw a few ways, and analyzed the situation on the field. It was unbelievable at the same time, but it was also bright.


    Because in the impression, the team with a dirty defense and a maddening force will take the defensive center of gravity in the second half, which is the last link after resisting the opponent¡¯s attack. The England team today, the premise of defensive focus area, kills the opponent is also the organization In the link, Nigeria''s offense was fragmented and there was no system at all. The game played fast for 45 minutes. The Nigerian team passed the ball forward, and no one could pass more than 4 feet.


    In the 45th minute, 1 minute of stoppage time, the England team launched an offensive again. Rooney was a little bit irritated. He directly dribble the ball in the front waist area and then hit the door.


    Not to mention, this shot is very reliable.


    The goalkeeper Enyeama blocked the ball bravely, Udze turned halfway in a hurry to get a big foot, but kicked the ball on Alan Smith who was rushing up, Smith happened to move forward, Enye Yama abandoned the goal and Smith headed directly when the ball fell from the air.


    The ball flew from Enyeama''s high arm and into the goal behind him.


    "The England team scored a goal! It was an unexpected goal! They were wasting a lot of good chances. In the end, the opponent made a mistake. The ball was hit by Smith. Smith seemed to have no reaction. He continued to pounce forward and scored a header in the penalty area. , 1:0, the England team leads! At the same time, the England team has scored an astonishing 17 times in the first half!"


    Alan Smith, who is desperately trying to defend, is almost defensive in the first half. The offensive data is not very good. However, the defense has only 3 steals. This goal can be said to be he desperately returned. Take care of others.


    Rooney rushed to celebrate with his teammates, but he was a little unwilling. His high-quality long-range shot still didn''t score. Instead, Alan Smith was not a chance to score a chance.


    But this may be the intention of the coaches'' formation.


    Aldridge just applauded and smiled, not too excited.


    Onibinde, who was not far away, was shocked.

 Chapter 838： Rough guys counterattack

    The first half of the last World Cup group match between England and Nigeria ended.


    1:0!


    An unexpected score.


    But looking at the statistics in the first half is surprising.


    All data of the England team dominated.


    Possession, shooting, passing, these three dominated the rationale, but fouls and yellow cards also dominate, it seems abnormal.


    After the second half of the game, the world still sees that England does not change its posture after leading, beating opponents in the midfield, and quickly attacking after the success of the siege. The midfield players quickly move forward and become an unpredictable attack point. From the overall height It seems that this has become a three-dimensional attack and defense system.


    The brutality of England has provided great help for their offense, and this advantage is based on the enthusiasm for fighting, tacit understanding, and the transformation of physical fitness and offensive and defensive consciousness.


    The audience watching this game, if they don¡¯t like England, they have already screamed that the England team is a hooligan, a bastard, and turned to sympathy for Nigeria. They are unreasonable with a group of people, they are close to their hands and feet, and they are disrupted with slaps. The fist fist fights.


    England looks really messy, but in the eyes of many football coaches, England is really taking the performance of Bruce Brothers to the extreme!


    Hitting Nigeria unexpectedly made him dizzy.


    The offensive stubbornly said that if he didn''t pay attention, he would be attacked by the defensive line. He was humiliated by a group of rough brothers. There was a good chance that they would end up with an outrageous shot and then continue the next round of humiliation without looking back. ...


    It is undeniable that a considerable number of people, or fans, or coaches, or well-known people think that as long as excessive physical contact or concealed small actions are added to defensive actions, they will use dirty, ugly, and various derogatory words. To describe a team.


    But it is also undeniable that fans who like England or neutral fans simply appreciate the game. The brutal and defensive defense of the England team has played a violent aesthetic.


    The opponent just lost the ball in the fierce pressure of England, and the England team turned around and attacked nonstop. The roughness was rough, and no subtle cooperation was seen, but the victory was extremely domineering!


    Lao Tzu robbed you fiercely. After robbing, immediately kill him to do you, and do not play tricks.


    Nigerian coach Onebind has been standing on the sidelines since the second half. He is also indifferent to the team''s scene and does not make any adjustments.


    His adjustment will not be effective. He knows that because he is going to leave get out of class, the Nigeria Football Association''s discussion of coaching is no longer a news. After losing to Sweden in the second game, the team''s army is distracted, and the generals have also parted ways.


    This is a frustrating trip to the World Cup.


    But at the moment, Onebind is not discouraged, and his destiny will not change in get out of class. Failure will always require someone to bear responsibility.


    However, after seeing today''s England team, Onibind''s football thinking seems to have been opened a whole new door.


    The center of world football is in Europe. The world¡¯s highest stage is a contest between Europe and South America. Teams from other continents will be the dragon suits to study with the prince. A little higher, but it is just a spoiler. This is the foundation and strength of football. status quo.


    African football is weak, weak in all aspects, infrastructure, football philosophy, football talent base, and technical and tactical levels.


    If England played 4321 anti-countermeasures against Nigeria in the previous two games, Onibind¡¯s mood will not fluctuate.


    Others are strong and have nothing to lose.


    Just like the African team is crushed by the gorgeous offensive of Spain and lost, it loses, and the skills are not as good as others, there is no need to reflect, because you don¡¯t have the genius of others, naturally you can¡¯t pursue the high-level skills of others. Tactics.


    But playing England today is different, very different!


    Not only is the team¡¯s paper strength actually getting a lot closer, the England team of rough brothers is only Joe Cole, and the two guys have a feeling of standing out, but they are not very obvious, and like Rooney, Smith , Is completely rampant butcher.


    The contrast of extreme advantages and disadvantages that appeared on the scene at this time is that tactics played an important role.


    At its root, it''s just a group of rough brothers who have good physical fitness and then furiously robbed them. They "did a rack" with their opponents, seemingly unscrupulous, but hiding wisdom.


    Onibind was shocked, not only respecting the handsome young man next door, but also admiring him, because he suddenly thought that this tactic, Europeans may not be able to pursue the ultimate, but Africans can!


    Why can''t Europeans do it?


    Because Europeans are arrogant, arrogant, and stand on the pinnacle of the world, their pursuit will be a pleasing and gorgeous offensive, rather than a group of "street mixed" explosive hammer opponents. Europeans not only have to conquer opponents, but also kneel opponents Worship the ground, showing its detached status.


    And the quality of European talents also determines that they cannot pursue such a violent aesthetic football.


    Like some talents, doesn''t the head coach use it? If it is used, let them do the dirty work, but also be blamed by the fingers, and be spurned by the fans. How many of those outstanding geniuses are pretentious?


    Even if it is the England team, if replaced by the eleven main force, Irving will be like Alan Smith? Can McManaman knock down his opponent like Rooney and scold his opponent for sympathy when he falls to the ground?


    Let the English team''s main force use this tactic, I am afraid that the effect is not as good as the 11 players on the field.


    The 11 England players on the field are just as rash and mostly unknown. Even if they are, they are not worth mentioning at the World Cup. At the same time, they must implement the arrangement of the head coach. They dare not violate the slightest and strive for the ambition of the higher position. Due to his limited talents, he can only sweat more and grind his teeth to fight. The combination of various factors makes the England team now have 11 players on the field, but it has better implemented the tactical arrangement of the head coach.


    But the disadvantages are also obvious and rough, so they broke 20 shots, hit the goal range, less than 5 times, and scored only 1 goal.


    Africans can better promote this tactic.


    First of all, they are weak, and it is not difficult for their players to accept this concept. The weak can''t pursue gorgeousness.


    Secondly, their physical advantage is needless to say, they will not lose against Europe. The key is whether they have the consciousness. Today¡¯s Nigeria is stunned by the England team, if they can think of the other party doing this, or they also have a plan In doing so, the effect may be better than the England team.


    The teacher-born Onebind began to reflect when his destiny had reached a conclusion, and happened to experience the new shock brought by England. This shock was ideological.


    The successive defeats to Argentina and Sweden made Onibind realize that even though African teams can have some good internationals, the overall technical and tactical level is too different from Europe and South America.


    In the face of strong teams, the African team is almost all anti-counterfeiting, but anti-counterfeiting is not available to everyone. England fights anti-counterfeiting, fighting the Pampas Eagles. Nigeria fights anti-counterfeiting, but Nigeria is still against Argentina. To defeat, let alone be reversed by the Swedish team later, in order to improve the strength of the African team, the technical and tactical level must be improved, otherwise, it is not as talented as South America, but as "cunning" as Europe.


    Onibinder was so excited when he watched the game. He didn¡¯t scream for Nigeria. He won or lost the military routine. He lost. He didn¡¯t need to die. He wanted to carefully observe the overall offensive and defensive system in England, trying to find out. At its core, even, he already had the urge to go to the next door to consult Aldridge.


    Nigeria loses to England, and Onebind loses to Europe''s leading European tactical trend, Aldridge. What can''t be reconciled?


    What''s more, today people are not on the strongest lineup, and you have no chance to fight back, which makes Onibind convinced.


    Aldridge used the first substitution in the 65th minute, replacing James and replacing Robinson with the third goalkeeper.


    "The group stage has not been completed yet. The 23 players of the England World Cup have all debut records, which makes England look more like a whole, a team. There is no doubt that Hall like this , Can make the team more united, whether it is success or failure, will belong to the 23-member team."


    When Millwall''s offensive football crushes his opponent to the extreme, a common picture will appear in the game: the opponent''s long pass.


    Today the England team has played such an effect with a group of tiger-like rough brothers.


    In the last 20 minutes, Nigeria withdrew to strengthen the defense across the board. Don''t play in the midfield, simply pass the long pass.


    Terry and Campbell fought hard to defend the defense. Hargreaves relaxed, and then attacked.


    The soldiers of the England team won''t accumulate in the opponent''s penalty area. On the contrary, they surrounded two layers in the periphery. The offense relied on long-range artillery, and then controlled the outer landing point to continue the attack.


    Their long-range effect is not very good, but they can¡¯t ask for too much, and their strength is limited. They can be replaced by the main force. It may be so big. Nigeria does not dare to defend too far behind, because in the main force of England, Scholes and Lampard McManaman has a long shot that is not weak, and Beckham can occasionally frighten the dead like a pass.


    The England team''s sports battle overwhelmed their opponents, the offensive wave was higher than the wave, but there was no real threat. Until the 81st minute of the game, a corner kick was created to create chaos in the restricted area of ??Nigeria. I don''t know who was in the crowd. Kicked the ball into the goal, and then saw Lu Xiaofa rushed out of the crowd frantically, running to the side with excitement.


    Lu Xiaofa runs quickly, this is the first goal of his career!


    The beginning of his career is absolutely legendary.


    The first show is the World Cup, the first show scored!


    Therefore, Lu Xiaofan was ecstatic, running and taking off his jersey, but this kid might not have tried to score before **** to celebrate. After all, he was playing a youth team game before. Similar to two hundred and five.


    So, the audience, as well as the audience in front of the TV, saw a wonderful scene.


    Lu Xiaofan ran and undressed, but turned his shirt over his head and didn¡¯t pull it down, probably because he ran too fast and was blocked from view. He thumped and fell to the ground. The jersey did not take off. , Blindfolded...


    boom!


    The audience in the stands of Osaka Nagai Stadium burst into laughter.


    Aldridge covered his face for the second time in this game, his hands, and could not bear to look directly.


    He smiled too, but he immediately thought of something, his expression changed again, and he was a little angry.


    The teammate who rushed to Rooney surrounded him and helped him to take off his clothes. Rooney stood up and pulled his teammates away with his hands, and wanted to continue to complete the celebration action. Then, he took out a red card.


    Rooney seemed to have been poured cold water, looked down at the jersey in his hand, he had a yellow card before.


    Lowering his head and walking towards the sidelines, Rooney was depressed.


    After all, there was no majestic celebration.


    Taking off a jersey also made a foreign appearance.


    Now, the red card is sent off...


    Why is it so unlucky?

 Chapter 839： The new golden boy is on fire!

    The first show of his career, the stage is the World Cup, a dogfight in front of the goal, a **** luck, a goal, **** to celebrate the fall, the red card was sent off...


    The first game of Lu Xiaofan''s career can''t be more exciting and full of reversal effects. Of course, compared to even too many talented career debuts, it is unknown. His start should be wonderful and fantastic.


    It''s just that Rooney sitting in the locker room at the moment was a little unhappy.


    Ruined!


    If the red card is sent off, will it become a sinner?


    Will there be a reporter, England fans besieged my home?


    The joy of scoring was replaced by a touch of panic, even if he calmed down and felt that the English fans should not treat him like Beckham, but he still has one person to face: Aldridge.


    His boss.


    He always remembers that before and after coming to the World Cup, the coaching staff told him everything, which roughly meant that he cherish this trip to the World Cup, opened his eyes, and at the same time cultivated himself, and had good fighting spirit, but do not regard recklessness as fighting spirit.


    Therefore, his hot tackle in the first half made Aldridge angry!


    It''s not very useful to reason with Rooney.


    You just have to be more angry than him, just suppress him!


    He was also criticized by Aldridge during the halftime. In general, Aldridge was satisfied with the second half of the competition. Rooney did not make a special move. However, he was sent off. He obviously had a yellow card and was still there. Undressing to celebrate, it was clearly his own death, and it also reflected that he had completely lost his mind at that time.


    On the court, the England team played less and scored 2:0.


    The fans in the stands are still recalling the picture of Rooney **** to celebrate the fall at halfway. Many people laughed and were in a good mood. In this routine game, the England team not only played a wonderful game, but even entertained the public.


    Aldridge let the team close the game and completely drain the final game time.


    When the whole game ended, Osaka Nagai Stadium applauded, not many people cheered, because England has already qualified and won this one, only to make the group stage journey perfect, and will not affect the overall situation.


    "This is a game that we didn''t think of. It was boring to predict this game before the game, but the England team used an alternative way to make the game very exciting. The technical statistics of the whole game. The England team shot 35 times. However, the number of shots at the goal was terrible, only 7! Thinking that today is sending a full bench, we can¡¯t bear to criticize the ability of the England team to seize the opportunity, 2:0, the England team is in the death group, and the group match won three games. , Head to the top 16, we can now look forward to the 1/8 final five days later, our opponent will be Senegal."


    At the end of the game, Aldridge turned around and shook hands with the opponent coach as usual. To his surprise, Onibind took the initiative to shake hands with him before the game, and the same was true after the game.


    Moreover, after holding his hand, Onibinder took the initiative to say a lot. Admiration and the like are a kind of courteous compliment. In the end, however, he sent an invitation to Audridge. After the interview after the game, I hope to be able to Sit down and chat.


    Aldrich didn''t know what the other party''s purpose was. If he wanted to do it, it might be academic discussion and exchange, so he agreed.


    After returning to the locker room, he did not criticize Rooney excessively, but just sat down and said to him with earnestness: "Today is a lesson, you have to remember this red card and imagine that if you are the number one striker in England, 5 After the day, you can only sit in the stands to watch the team''s game. Will you be happy? Is it irresponsible to look at the red card again? Is it too expensive? Did it make you a sinner of this team? "


    Rooney was in a much better mood because Aldridge did not criticize him.


    The team won an insignificant game. The replacement players were not overly happy. Aldridge gave them half a day off. He went to the post-match press conference.


    At the same time, another game was over.


    Argentina only scored a goal in the 88th minute and equalized the score. The Swedish team failed to keep the score of 1:0 until the end of the game, but they still qualified for the top 16 and the 1/8 final will be Denmark staged the Nordic Civil War.


    Before the World Cup, the seemingly gorgeous champion Pampas did not even pass the group stage in the Korea-Japan World Cup. The dream of attacking football was like a bubble smash. 3 games, 270 minutes, only scored two The goals created by the set kick are corner kicks and penalty kicks.


    Bielsa burst into tears in the locker room after the game. Later when the team left Japan by plane, he cried again in the face of the seeing off fans because he was carrying too much. Behind the Pampas Eagle, there were them The hope of the suffering nations, even if they get pleasure from spiritual opium, is still what they are expecting.


    The eagle flew, and the madman left.


    After the French team returned home, Argentina also embarked on a return journey. The World Cup knockout has not yet begun, but the funeral of the giants first sounded the death knell.


    Aldridge talked with Onibind in the hotel¡¯s restaurant for more than three hours, just like the communication and discussion in the professional field like Martin O¡¯Neill, although he often puzzled Onibend, The difference is that he and O''Neill may argue endlessly about a philosophical issue.


    Three days later, the Nigerian Football Association announced that Onibind was out of class. The Nigerian Football Association began to abandon local coaches and instead hired European coaches to revitalize Nigerian football. After returning to the country, Onibind concentrated on studying the gains at the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, and became a tactical change in African football The pioneer, who has since become famous, became famous on the African continent, and became a non-football tactical instructor many years later, devoted to improving the level of African football, and he praised Aldridge on many occasions for his Most of the achievements are due to the guidance and ordering of Aldridge. The two maintain friendly relations all year round and exchange their experiences through email.


    ...


    After the England team returned to Tokyo, many players stayed in the hotel to rest and gathered together to watch the final round of the group B group at night. They were very curious about Spain and the Spanish offensive was very powerful.


    Lu Xiaofan¡¯s worries did not become a reality, and he talked with his family in the room.


    Rooney is on fire.


    Wearing a prodigy, a genius hat.


    Because he broke Irving''s goal record, now Rooney has become the youngest goal scorer in the England national team, and this is the first game of his career. How come it is not dreamy? Even if the red card came off, no Englishman regarded him as a sinner. He was treated as a young man''s unintentional loss. He could not be forgiven or unforgivable, but as a "beautiful mistake".


    Four years ago, Irving was born. The next-generation Golden Boy hat is now worn on Rooney. Before the World Cup, people asked who Rooney is. Now, not only the English remember him, but there are many in the world. Fans remembered the talented boy who undressed to celebrate a funny fall after scoring a goal in the first game, and was shown a red card by the referee.


    Rooney, who was so excited and impatient in the spring breeze, couldn''t stand it in the hotel. He wanted to roar, laughed, wanted a shot...


    At this time, he remembered the experience of going out to Tokyo with his teammates some time ago. He has to say that Tokyo is too hot. There are custom shops, sister-in-law, buildings with obscure posters, and some sneaky guides with crappy guides. English provides a cheerful and cheerful service.


    As a teenager, he was a little unclear, and Rooney, who had little self-control, changed into a dress, sneaked out of the hotel, and went to the places where "something happened" according to his memory.


    How could Rooney, who was too young to deal with paparazzi, know that from the moment he left the hotel, he was secretly followed by many paparazzi reporters.


    Prostitution in Japan is not legal, but there are custom shops here, and the boundary between the two is blurred. Of course, it is not important that the law is illegal.


    And for global feasts like the World Cup, countless tourists from all over the world come to Japan. Naturally, those professionals who provide **** and services in Japan have long been prepared and intend to earn a hard vote.


    That night, Spain scored another 3 goals, defeated South Africa 3:2, and scored a strong posture of 3 goals in three games. The Paraguay scored 16 goals in the last 5 minutes. Strong, another African team left the stage of the World Cup, South Africa, unfortunately, they only missed one goal, only Slovenia to hold the last 5 minutes.


    For Rooney, it was a near-perfect day.


    He made his first show, scored a goal, became a genius, and even flew two Toyo girls, but they just couldn''t understand Yadi Butterfly.


    Until four o''clock in the morning, Rooney sneaked back to the hotel sneakily. The English team had no rules for rounds. Aldrich would never turn the national team into a military camp. Especially when he came to the World Cup. The team''s honor is serious, and at this time, no one can guarantee that sting!


    However, 16-year-old Rooney, whether it is self-discipline or self-control ability, has been overestimated by Aldridge.


    The next morning, Aldridge kicked Rooney''s door.


    A loud bang!


    The foot was shocking, the whole floor was alarmed, the players in other rooms opened the door one after another, and the hotel staff were persuaded to leave the scene by the England coach.


    Rooney and Joe Cole are in the same room, both of them are sleeping, and this morning is restorative training, but the time will be later than usual.


    Joe Cole pouted on the bed and was awakened by the loud noise. He still poked on the butt, turned his head to look back, rubbed his eyes, saw the coming person clearly, and saw Aldridge holding a stack of newspapers in his hand Angry, no cover up!


    Seeing Aldridge grabbing the cup on the table and hitting Rooney who was still sleeping like a dead pig, Joe Cole was startled and quickly jumped up and said: "Boss, Boss, I called him , I wake him up."


    Joe Cole could have guessed what it was. He fell asleep at 12 o''clock. Rooney hasn''t returned yet. What can happen outside?


    Isn''t it possible to crush the road?


    Whether it is clubbing or picking up girls, in short, this must violate the team rules.


    He also called Rooney at the time, but the boy shut down and did not know who was calling to harass him.


    Joe Cole pushed Rooney and shouted: "Wayne, Wayne, get up, get up!"


    Rooney was so tired, he shook his hand unconsciously, opened Joe Cole and pushed his hand, Joe Cole waved his palm to slap him, hesitated or poured a glass of cold water on Rooney''s face with the glass on the bedside table .


    "Cough cough..."


    The water got into Rooney''s nose, and now he woke up.


    After waking up, he got angry.


    "Death to death?"


    He had just sat up and punched Joe Cole, and suddenly saw Aldridge standing at the end of his bed. Outside the door, Southgate and Beckham were looking inside. Rooney felt uncomfortable. Expect to be exposed after doing something late at night.


    He hadn''t thought that his job of doing Toyo Sister has become the news of the British today, and even many local media around the world!


    "Boss..."


    Rooney plans to admit his mistake first.


    But Aldridge interrupted him, and in a rough manner.


    Snapped!


    A newspaper hit Rooney''s face.


    Snapped!


    Another newspaper smashed past.


    After throwing four newspapers in a row, Aldridge dropped the rest of his hands on Rooney''s face.


    "Unbelievable, unbelievable! We came to Asia, came to Japan, is to pursue the pinnacle of career achievement, pursue the dream of a player or coach for a lifetime, but you, you can''t even control your own second child? Wayne ¡¤Rooney, you are expelled from the team and you go back to London!"


    Aldridge left the room without looking back, and Southgate and Beckham outside the door immediately gave way. Beckham probably guessed what it was. He wanted to ask for pleading, but Southgate Holding his shoulder, he shook his head solemnly.


    Rooney looked down at the messy newspapers on the bed. Today''s newspapers from different media, from Europe to Asia, have his news.


    "England''s new golden boy whoring in Tokyo!"

 Chapter 840： Fired, closed for one year

    It was dawn, and people woke up, and Lu Xiaofan should go home.


    Aldridge was woken up by the phone at 4:30 in the morning. During the World Cup, his private phone was turned on 24 hours, also to keep in touch with his family, whether it was Yiwen, who was far away in London, or his parents who came to Asia. Two sons.


    It was Ewen who called him, which surprised Aldridge. He thought that something happened to Ewen in London, but after answering the phone, he realized that Ewen was also disturbed in the middle of the night.


    Rooney¡¯s actions last night were followed by reporters from beginning to end, and those reporters were superb, and even the hotel where Rooney ran was also mixed in. They were secretly photographed along the way, and after Rooney left, he spent a lot of money to buy news with the two Toyo girls. Story, during this period, news materials have been continuously sent to the newspaper or the company''s headquarters.


    Fleet Street will do everything it can to find out about news. There will be a complicated network of interpersonal relationships. When Yiwen used to work, there were many friends on Fleet Street. Although everyone¡¯s cooperation is not open, it will be revealed at a critical moment. Come on.


    The news of the newspaper on Fleet Street has not yet been announced, but the news content has been heard in the ears of Yiwen. Just like the scandal of the Christmas **** party, people notified you in advance that in addition to selling personal feelings, it is also a peach. When you need it, you also give the other party an exclusive report or a big headline.


    However, the news can''t be blocked. The world is so multi-media. The news has long been leaked. Notifying Millwall here, especially Audridge''s pillow people, it is nothing more than borrowing a microphone to prepare Audridge to be psychologically prepared to avoid scandals. It was also kept in the dark when it broke out.


    Aldrich didn''t draw conclusions when he first got the news. He would not listen to the media and ask the players.


    Over the years, there have always been many unscrupulous media making up news, and the principle of Aldrich¡¯s management of players is trust.


    Trust is not a word of mouth.


    For example, since 1998, there have been constant media outbursts on Millwall who and who will leave the team. If Adrich read the news and ran to ask the players, when exporting, wouldn''t the trust between each other disappear?


    Aldridge is waiting, the matter is true or false, and there is no possibility of remedy at this time. When Chen Xi shot into the room, many media today¡¯s newspapers were also placed on his desk. After reading the contents of the newspaper, the evidence Indeed, moreover, this scandal was not reported by a media.


    People who stand on the cusp of the storm are naturally unlikely to be liked by the whole world. Some people will use malicious attacks to win the spot and earn the attention of the outside world. But Rooney is obviously not worth the reputation of more than ten prestigious media. The danger came to persecute him collectively.


    No need to confront Rooney, Aldridge knows that everything reported in the news is true.


    Although the scandal of the players is nothing more than a bit of a problem, the public is accustomed to it, but the same person, when representing different identities, has different influence and different public obligations.


    Rooney, as a player of the England national team, created such a scandal in the context of the World Cup. Too large, the reputation of the UK will be damaged, and for the England national team, it has a very bad influence, making the England team stand. In the moral court, people will issue various questions and criticisms, as well as irresponsible accusations and difficulties.


    When dawn dawned, Aldridge roared at Rooney''s room, making all the English players and coaches on the floor heard clearly.


    Fired from the team!


    Aldridge took the England national team coach for a year and a half, basically never fired at the player, and he was irritated and irreparable!


    People used to say that Aldridge kept short and used his power for personal gains. Half of the players in the England national team had a relationship with Millwall. But when the players were wrong, Aldridge could not recognize the six relatives. Hesitate.


    Aldrich left, let the coaching staff preside over the morning training before he left. He was going to meet with the officials of the FA to discuss the scandal, which is the aftermath of the public relations crisis.


    The English players were chilling in their hearts, and Aldridge was not angry. There was always some luck in their hearts, but in the end no one dared to try to challenge. Rooney, a player who only officially began his career in a day, may not have the consciousness and never experienced it. The cruelty of his career, he crossed Lei Chi, and then, it seemed, walked into the abyss of irreversible disaster.


    Rooney''s eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, because he didn''t get enough rest, and he slept for less than 3 hours. He looked at a newspaper with a sneak shot of his whereabouts, walked into the hotel, left the hotel, and even published the two Last night, a picture of his cheerful and cheerful Toyo girl, very dazzling.


    "Wayne, the boss may be too angry. After an hour, you go to admit his mistake..."


    Joe Cole gave Rooney an idea. Although it''s a bit of a fox-and-hub buddy to mix together outside the court, at this time, at least, can''t you run away without a cigarette?


    Joe Cole thinks things have a better turn, because Rooney is from Millwall.


    Such an idea is too naive.


    Rooney raised his head, at this time he was already afraid, trembling in his heart, unable to speak a word, feeling no strength in his body.


    Not only Aldridge¡¯s anger, but also, how should he face his family?


    Young, not sensible, and doing nothing regardless of consequences, Rooney is really a negative example.


    He heard Joe Cole''s words, just about to nod, he also felt that he begged Aldridge, maybe he could still stay in the national team, as if staying here, to get asylum.


    However, he saw the two men walking outside and suddenly turned pale.


    The two men who walked in, Joe Cole also knew that one was his agent, Andrew, and the other was an employee of the Andrew''s brokerage team. He usually helped them get things done.


    Andrew wears formal suits and leather shoes. Of course he also came to Asia. At the World Cup, there are many players of his company. As a feast for the world''s attention in the football world, naturally it will also affect the strong eyes of the transfer market. Updating the fluctuations in the player''s value is on the one hand expanding the business to see if there are good seedlings outside Europe willing to join him, and the business is also under negotiation at the same time.


    After Andrew closed the door, he nodded at Joe Cole, then walked to Rooney and saw Rooney''s frightened and hesitant eyes, he said calmly: "Wayne, sorry, this is my job failure, I should Send someone to follow you, otherwise such a thing will not happen."


    Yes, Andrew has failed.


    Other players, like Beckham, McManaman, Owen, Lampard, etc., they came to the World Cup. During this period, their agents will continue to tell them to pay attention to the public image, not to go wrong, or even When you go shopping outside, there may be a public relations staff design, why? This is all money!


    And Rooney, although Andrew''s player, but he came to the World Cup, completely unremarkable, at his worth, the salary received in the Millwall youth team, Andrew sent him to follow him, specifically to give him a small team? Isn¡¯t this a loss-making transaction?


    Who would have thought that Rooney made a name for himself, and Andrew wanted to send Rooney two assistants yesterday. It was impossible for him to follow suit. At least there was a brief exchange to let Rooney understand his current value, his reputation, etc. The benefits brought, then is to behave according to the rules.


    But Andrew was disturbed by phone calls one after another. Millwall''s young genius was a blockbuster. Who would the agent be? The outside world does not need to check, just call Andrew directly, absolutely right.


    With this one-night delay, Rooney ran into a catastrophe.


    There is no doubt that no one will be interested in him for the time being, and his public image is also at stake.


    Rooney didn''t expect Andrew to apologize instead, and put the blame on the other party. In any case, Rooney felt better. He asked awkwardly, "I''m going to find the boss and admit it, can''t the boss change his mind?"


    Andrew shook his head calmly, and at the same time, the person he had brought in had asked Joe Cole to start packing for Rooney.


    "Stay here. I have booked the plane ticket for the return trip. I will pick you up later."


    Andrew finished speaking to the assistant, and then left the room.


    At the same time, Aldridge met in the hotel conference room with the officials of the FA''s World Cup counterparts, video conferences, and the FA''s senior executives in the UK.


    Oudric is naturally responsible for the trouble caused by Rooney. He is the coach of the national team.


    It''s just that the FA is not good for Aldridge. After all, Aldridge belongs to the fire rescue, and England is prosperous. Both sports and commercial income are significantly improved than before. If it is placed in the non-contest, the FA will find the most How do people use a meeting when they say something?


    It''s just the World Cup, but fans in countless countries around the world are staring here, watching the news here, the scandal of the England team, without thinking, has spread all over the world.


    "Dismissal from the team? Well, this is okay, but if the national team is not hired for a year, is this a bit too serious?"


    This sentence was said by Thompson, the chairman of the Chinese Football Association in the video call.


    The object of his speech is Aldridge.


    Someone beside him also said: "Let him leave at this time, it is the best choice for the national team. However, there are not many good forwards in England. After the World Cup, he is almost 17 years old and can play for the national team. The door of the national team will be closed to him within the year, which may not be a good thing for the development of the national team? Aldridge, or consider again, the penalty of not being called this year, exempt it."


    Aldridge, who was sitting on the main seat in the conference room, looked cold and said with no room for maneuver: "No, although I will leave after the World Cup, but I firmly believe my penalty, Wayne Rooney, was expelled from the team, and In the next year, the national team will no longer call him."

 Chapter 841： Sharp knife

    Due to Aldridge''s insistence, the FA has not refuted his face.


    Although Aldridge is scheduled to resign after the World Cup, the current penalty can be changed, but at this time the FA¡¯s statement on the outside will definitely be intangibly enlarged, whether it is the unilateral commutation of the Rooney by the FA in the future, or The next coach will overthrow this punishment, and the criticisms of the ruling will affect the FA, so the punishment at this time is almost conclusive, and once issued, it will inevitably be carried out to the end.


    The discussion about Rooney¡¯s punishment ended, and others left one after another, but Thompson in the video call did not hang up. After only Aldridge was left in the conference room, Thompson said on the other end of the phone: "Aldrich, Although it may not be appropriate to talk about this right now, I think it is possible to communicate privately. In view of the good performance of England in the past year and a half, the FA agreed that you should be given a new contract. We hope you can stay in the national team for a long time. In the coach''s position, the new contract period, 4 or 6 years, as long as you like, you can also. In addition, the salary is also roughly the same as the annual salary of the coach of the European strong team, how?"


    Aldridge worked part-time this year and a half, and his salary was relatively low, which was justifiable. Now the FA has decided to give him a new contract, regardless of the final result of the World Cup. Not determined by World Cup results.


    Aldrich shook his head without thinking, "Thank you for your kindness. I still insist on leaving after the World Cup because I have other plans."


    "Ah, let''s not talk about this topic for a while. After you return to London, we will sit down and talk officially."


    Aldridge didn''t change his mind and nodded casually to end Thompson''s call.


    Sitting in the quiet conference room, Aldridge sighed.


    Bringing Rooney this time, although he has his own personal ideas in the big picture, everything was wonderful before yesterday. The new golden boy of England became famous, and his insightful merits will add another sum.


    But it''s not all for his selfishness. He really wants to let Rooney feel the atmosphere of the competition, open his eyes, let him familiarize himself with this atmosphere prematurely, guard against arrogance and restlessness, and can better establish a foothold in the national team , Which will greatly benefit his future.


    Unexpectedly, Rooney made such a scandal that good things turned into bad things in a flash.


    Putting on Aldrich''s own influence, this season''s World Cup brings Rooney, pure sports is naturally good, and the negative impact can bring this choice into a failure.


    The image and reputation of the national team have suffered losses.


    In today''s newspapers alone, countless ridicules and ridicules, verbal abuses and belittles.


    When you are on the wrong track and someone is grabbing the handle, there are countless "sages" in the world who occupy the moral commanding heights and fall to you.


    Taking out his portable notebook, holding a pen and writing a few short sentences on it, tearing off the page and folding it, Aldridge got up and walked out of the conference room. Andrew waited for him outside the door and asked him when he came out: "how about it?"


    "Send him back, he is not a fuel-efficient lamp, it is better to watch him personally."


    After talking, Aldridge handed over the folded paper to Andrew, and left with a tired look on his face. He did not rest well and was awakened by the phone before 5 o''clock.


    Media journalists from all over the world gathered in Tokyo to surround the England training camp and the hotel where they stayed.


    When other players are training normally, they can see countless reporters outside taking pictures, trying to find opportunities for interviews.


    When it was near noon and Rooney left the hotel with Andrew, 16-year-old Rooney was suddenly surrounded by spotlights, and he was terrified, as if those talkative reporters would swallow him alive.


    Wearing fashionable sunglasses, Andrew took Rooney into the car and left the hotel directly to the airport.


    The England team held a temporary press conference.


    Aldridge came forward and did not accept any interviews with reporters, but unilaterally announced the punishment for Rooney.


    The English team expelled Rooney from the team, plus the fact that he will not be called in again in the coming year, this news quickly spread.


    England''s new golden boy''s ups and downs in the World Cup journey is comparable to a wonderful reverse drama.


    However, the England national team responded to the public relations crisis detonated by the scandal quite quickly. From the incident of the east window to the punishment of the parties, the dust was settled within 4 hours, which made the media continue to hype.


    What else can we fry?


    Who are you, who are fined, and then continue to pay attention to the England national team, direct scandals to them, Rooney is no longer in the team, but to hype Rooney? The party returned to the UK, and the World Cup continues.


    A considerable number of people in the media believe that the punishment of the England team seems serious, but actually tolerated Rooney.


    In the case of some other national teams, it is highly likely that Irony will permanently expel Rooney from the national team because the crime he committed was to damage the reputation of the country and the national team image was severely hit.


    As for not recruiting Rooney for a year, it was interpreted as a kind of protection to calm down the incident.


    If Beckham or Irving were not recruited to the national team for a year, the loss to England and the players would be very serious.


    But Rooney, 16 years old, one year later, he is not yet 18 years old, and he is very handsome. The prospects of the national team are still very bright, and he will still return to the national team with the dazzling image of the new golden boy of England. Of course, the premise is that Rooney will not perform a story about hurt Zhongyong.


    Rooney and Andrew boarded a plane that flew back to London. In the first-class cabin, Andrew held his wine and looked at Rooney, who was not attentive, and comforted softly: "Don''t mind, who doesn''t make any mistakes when he''s young? Besides, that kind of thing It''s normal to put it on a man."


    Andrew is sentimental. He became a supermodel when he was 15 years old. In fact, he is essentially a prostitute, and the exchange of interests takes what he needs.


    Like Rooney doing Toyo Sister, he doesn''t think there is any problem. Moreover, the players have too much energy and capital, but just being discovered is unwise to do things.


    Andrew''s principle of being a man is never to restrict others, unless it is really harmful and unhelpful. For example, if his players are going to take drugs, Andrew can persuade, but not persuade, then everyone will part ways.


    But if his player has a flower, he likes to spin around in the pile of women. He will not persuade the player to be a good man like a saint, but he will instill some ways of behavior.


    Bright and fair-minded prostitutes, that''s the best, and it really hurts reputation.


    Like Lampard, Joe Cole, this is the famous **** in England, and Ronaldinho is also, Andrew can''t let them be saints, but there is no moral criticism of derailment when men don''t get married, you can change girls Friends, change one a day. Outsiders can say that you are a playboy, but you will not be said to be a prostitute. Although in essence, the woman you hooked up with a diamond ring necklace is actually paid for it, but at least it is in the public eye. You don¡¯t have the pressure of moral public opinion, at best you are accused of demeanor, or you are scolded when you are not doing your job well.


    Rooney frowned, and at a young age, he was so worried that it felt awkward to fall in Andrew''s eyes.


    "Boss, will you give up on me?"


    Rooney''s tone was very weak, as if he hadn''t eaten in ten days.


    Andrew shook his head with a smile and said, "This shouldn''t be. Don''t be cranky. It is the best practice to expel you from the team. No matter for you or the national team, first of all, you are not in the team, and those reporters will not Surrounding you, will not harass your life, and will not continue to bring negative effects to the national team, attention beyond football. Secondly, the World Cup is still in progress, and every day there are more important news headlines , To get you back to London, is to let you leave the center of public opinion vortex, you will be much less pressured by the media in London, and secondly, there is no need to follow up on your story, because the whole incident has ended. And you After going back to live a low-key life, if you want, go back to the club to participate in the training of the youth team. After the World Cup is over, more than half a month has passed. What happened to you has long been no longer interested. Er, almost forgot. Yes, yes, this is what Aldridge asked me to give you."


    Rooney roughly wanted to understand his deep intention of being cleared out of the team and returning to London. Aldridge was squandering not only for the national team but also to protect him.


    Receiving the note from Andrew, Rooney opened it and said it was a few words from Aldridge.


    In the opening remarks, Aldridge apologized to him for the same reason as Andrew. As the coach, he did not restrain him well. Rooney went wrong and Aldridge was to blame.


    Seeing Aldridge''s apology, Rooney almost cried.


    In Aldrich''s eyes, Rooney is really a child.


    It is necessary to reprimand him, that is necessary, this kid, don''t scold him harder, how can he remember long?


    In the note, Aldridge asked him to go back to London to calm down and reflect on it. It is best to go back to the club to continue training, and also let him apologize to his family as soon as he goes back. His behavior will inevitably cause trouble to his family.


    As for the penalty of the England team, Aldridge called it an incentive and a test.


    You have put on the national team jersey.


    You have also stepped on the World Cup stage and scored.


    Do you want to return to this stage in the future?


    Then work hard.


    In the future, you will become the pillar of England, but you can''t do it without hard work, self-discipline and restraint.


    After reading a few words on the paper, Rooney secretly wiped his eyes...


    Aldrich''s resolute style of doing things quickly took effect, and thanks to the World Cup, fierce battles continued one after another. Although the scandal was explosive, it was difficult for the world to prevail.


    On this afternoon, the Samba Corps did not send the strongest lineup, and still swept Costa Rica 5:2, helping Turkey to beat Costa Rica with a goal difference after defeating China in 3:0 and entered the World Cup 16.


    After the Saudi Arabia, the Chinese team also bid farewell to the World Cup of Korea and Japan with the embarrassing record of losing 10 goals in three games.


    In the evening, Italy relied on Piero''s goal to tie Mexico at the last minute. The two teams advanced together. The Italian media exclaimed luck. It seems that Italy''s promotion path is also quite thrilling.


    The quota of the top 16 in the World Cup is about to be announced, and the England team has gradually attracted attention as other teams have come to an end.


    It''s just that when Aldridge was preparing for the 1/8 final with Senegal, his posture was completely different from before. He was more serious and silent, and the players were all awakened, and they did not dare to make any mistakes. Rooney became everyone''s Lessons learned, but Rooney¡¯s departure has no effect on the competitive strength of the England team. If it is replaced by Irving, it will be a traumatic event. Even Alan Smith may have hidden dangers. Rooney alone , A player who could never have had a chance to make another appearance in the knockout game. His departure did not strike the strength of the England team. On the contrary, he played a warning role, so that the entire England team concentrated all their thoughts on the green field. Inside.

 Chapter 842： Dark invasion

    The England team prepared for the 1/8 final calmly and seriously.


    On the eve of the Oita expedition, Aldridge attended the pre-match press conference as usual.


    At the beginning, there were still reporters asking about Rooney''s scandal, and Aldridge ignored the reporters without expression.


    Questions surrounding Rooney were thrown on the table, Aldridge''s eyelids were not lifted, just like the wind in the ear.


    Those journalists who asked questions rushed to suffocate, this kind of neglect, naturally hurt some self-esteem.


    "Huh, what a big name?"


    A reporter from Africa couldn''t hold his breath and complained a lot.


    Aldridge still didn''t change his face, as if he didn''t hear it.


    Many journalists in Europe laughed in agreement.


    Playing big names?


    How about the young master?


    Unhappy, you can disappear, you can not interview.


    Moreover, is it really a big name?


    The theme of this press conference is about tomorrow''s game, not Rooney''s scandal. If you like to ask questions that you don''t want to close, don''t complain about how handsome you are.


    European journalists are very well-behaved. When the England team made the punishment conclusions public, Rooney¡¯s incident is settled, and it¡¯s pointless to hype. Moreover, Rooney is really not an important person in England. Today¡¯s interview , Either broadcast in the evening news program, or published in the newspaper tomorrow, who are concerned about the battle between England and Senegal, who would be interested in watching Rooney''s news again?


    Isn''t it just a prostitute?


    How big is it?


    If it is in the off-season of football news, there must be a lot of hype, but now, it is the World Cup. Everyone in England has cleaned the portal, what else can be hyped?


    Constantly asking Aldrich, if it is not a reporter with insufficient experience, it is some African reporters, trying to disrupt England, it can be added to help Senegal off the court.


    But the handsome guy does not dump these people at all.


    There was silence for a while, and Aldridge finally spoke.


    "Since there is no problem, can I go now?"


    As soon as Aldridge''s words fell, the Fleet Street reporter raised his hand.


    The press officer indicated that the other party could ask questions.


    "What do you think of the performance of the Senegal group stage?"


    "I think Senegal has surprised the world enough. They are the pride of African football. Before that, many people in the world may not have heard the name of Senegal, but through the World Cup, their excellent performance has won the respect of the world. With recognition, they defeated France and drew Denmark, and in the final game they played a tremendous 3:3 with Uruguay. The great team, England is very happy to be able to play against Senegal."


    "You mean, Senegal has attracted the attention and vigilance of England, right?"


    "Of course not! We treat every opponent very seriously and will not underestimate any opponent. If we say that because the opponent is the first to reach the top 16, we will be vigilant, then the England team can not go further, only respect Every opponent, pay attention to them, and go all out for every game to go further."


    "Senegal coach Methu said before that England is very strong, especially a coach like you who has extraordinary experience and ability. He dare not say that he will defeat you, but he will try hard, but what do you think of this?"


    Bruno Mecho, a French coach, started to set foot on the African continent a few years ago. Senegal was able to appear on the World Cup stage, and he contributed greatly.


    Aldridge smiled and said: "To me, Mechu is also a hard-to-handle coach. I dare not say I can definitely beat him, but I will try hard! He has an extraordinary experience in the African continent Coaching makes people yearn for and envy his achievements, because he can make the people of a country proud and proud, and can make a country walk from the unknown to the world stage. His achievements, ordinary people can only look up, tomorrow, fight with him, also It will be a rare opportunity since I coached."


    European journalists smiled, Aldridge¡¯s remarks were a kind of heroic empathy, and also reflected a status quo. Europe is a leader in the field of football. Even if African teams rise suddenly, the leaders are also coaches in Europe. .


    A reporter asked: "Senegal is likely to face England with a conservative anti-anti-strategy. What do you think of their tactics?"


    "It''s normal. No one stipulates how football should be played. What kind of tactics a team must use. Existence is reasonable. No matter what tactics Senegal plays, I will not be surprised. At the end of the game, they won. I will congratulate them. They lost, and it doesn¡¯t make sense to discuss tactics. The same is true for England."


    Aldridge replied lightly.


    As for the tactics England will choose tomorrow, Aldridge said frankly: "We will stick to the usual formation of platoons, and what kind of situation will appear in the specific game. It is impossible to generalize according to the situation at that time."


    In any case, Aldridge¡¯s comments or opinions on Senegal have won the favor of African journalists. The reporters who previously said that he is playing big names have shown a trace of shame.


    In the professional field, Aldridge will never be arrogant or contempt for his opponents. He will never give people a high arrogance, which is one of the reasons why he is respected by the outside world.


    Originally thinking that the press conference was over, Aldridge did not expect that a reporter on Fleet Street suddenly asked: "Mr. Hall, what do you think of yesterday''s 0:1 loss to South Korea in Portugal? "


    Aldridge froze, and all the reporters on the scene rekindled.


    Just yesterday, the World Cup group stage ended.


    First, in the afternoon, Japan, one of the host countries, defeated Tunisia and advanced to the top 16. Then the European Red Devils Belgium defeated Russia and entered the top 16.


    At night, since the start of the World Cup, the most controversial game has appeared.


    Portugal vs South Korea, Poland vs. the United States, the two games start at the same time.


    South Korea and the United States are 4 points, Portugal 3 points, Poland 0 points.


    Portugal is going to qualify and it is very dangerous to draw even before the game.


    The reason is very simple, they can¡¯t pin their hopes on Poland, and hope that Poland can snipe the United States, because Portugal lost to the United States, 2:3, and Portugal won Poland by another 4:0, plus Poland also lost to South Korea before In any case, Poland cannot be a boost to Portugal¡¯s promotion.


    Even if Poland¡¯s game started five minutes into the game, Poland even scored two goals ahead of the United States, but Portugal still played offensive football against South Korea. This is a performance of a strong man. He must stick to himself and control his own destiny. Not praying for help from others.


    Portugal, in a mad attack, set off storms, and then, soon, the head referee became the protagonist.


    Argentine Sanchez can tolerate Song Zhongguo''s continuous flying shovel and elbow movement against Figo, and can ignore Jin Taiying''s fierce felling on Concicao. Under this punishment scale, the Portuguese team''s players will naturally be provoked, so the action Bigger, when Pinto used a two-legged flying shovel, the referee Sanchez simply took out the red card, as if there were no signs, as if at this moment the referee remembered that he had a card.


    Portugal, who had to play 10-11, was hit hard again in the 66th minute of the second half. Beto was sent off with two yellows and one red. At the same time, a decisive change took place on the other side. The Polish team led the United States 3-0 , This is a score that can lock the victory.


    As long as the Portuguese team holds the draw, they will share the same points as the US team and advance to the top 16 with a goal difference.


    However, the 11-for-9 Korean team did not give Portugal a chance by virtue of the horrible home atmosphere. After 4 minutes, the number of Portuguese players on the field was obviously inferior. Park Ji-sing picked the ball in a humiliating manner in the penalty area and then broke through the city gate. Tai Chi Tiger defeated Portugal, the golden generation, scored 7 points in three games and advanced to the top 16.


    Portugal, in the event of a draw, can be promoted, and finally lost out.


    Although the start of Portugal¡¯s current competition is not ideal, but the return to Poland is obvious, and the fight against the host South Korea will certainly not fall. Without the double penalty standard of the referee, Portugal will not be easily irritated. They must have problems themselves. "Golden Generation" It is difficult to prove yourself in the contest, and it has a lot to do with their mentality. Statistics of their red card data show that the probability of their red card is really not low.


    However, when the head referee became the focus, and the Korean team was strongly promoted, this changed the game.


    The World Cup should be the fight of players, the coach''s fighting style, not the place where black law enforcement officers should grab the spotlight.


    The appearance of the black law enforcement officer will inevitably make many fans feel that they have been attacked by darkness.


    And think of the various remarks that Blatter said in Japan. At the same time that this darkness invades, the heart of the heart will be swept by the cold.


    "The more shocking results will continue."


    "Unpopularity will not disappear, this is also my expectation for the future game."


    "The gap between the established powerhouses and the traditional new army has been bridged."


    Compared with Bailey¡¯s crow mouth, Blatter¡¯s prediction seems more reliable, but Blatter said the world will be shocked, South Korean coach Hiddink also said that the South Korean team will shock the world, what is the reason for these two shocks? Realize, different opinions.


    Since the start of the World Cup, the French team has come out of nowhere, Argentina''s disruption in advance, and Brazil, Spain, the shock of the offensive frenzy, and now, another color has begun to infect the World Cup color: darkness.


    There is no doubt that in Incheon, the "red whistle" played a role, making the World Cup event begin to fade into a carnival of ordinary people.


    When Aldridge encountered a reporter''s question about yesterday''s game in Portugal, he didn''t want to speak, and immediately changed his mind.


    He must say that certain people must be "warned" not to try to make England a political victim.


    Aldridge was not afraid of the sky, but he was not afraid of turning face with anyone.


    What he is asking for is just the fairness and seriousness that should be guaranteed.


    "I am very sympathetic to Portugal''s experience. The referee became the focus of discussion after the game. This shows that there is a problem with law enforcement. Portugal is the victim and is now under FIFA investigation. Why? Just because the referee is absolutely untouchable Did you hit it? But when you are robbed, you should resist. Standing on the side and talking coldly, saying that the player must remain rational, huh, huh, I haven¡¯t played, but I think about it if I am a player, I I think when I suffer from injustice, should I understand reason as a compromise, concession, shut up and not resist, or should I stand up to defend my rights and interests? Defend my interests for my team? It is undeniable that the host has an advantage, and this advantage is reflected at home Atmosphere, familiar with the environment where the event is held, this is the advantage of the host. If someone forcibly gives the host a certain advantage, huh, this kind of person is the enemy of fans all over the world, the enemy of the sport of football, if it is me, I Will stand up and fight each other at all costs, I am such a person."


    Aldridge''s words just fell, and many people took a breath.


    It¡¯s easy to get enemies with young masters!


    FIFA said he must not kill him!


    Indeed, just after the press conference, FIFA expressed its anger and dissatisfaction to the FA. As for the "fight" Aldridge said in the press conference, FIFA did not take it seriously.


    However, five years later, UEFA has taught the so-called marshals to fight and fight, how crazy to defend their interests, and directly wrote the marshals into the history of European football, thus changing the pattern of European football!

 Chapter 843： Fight for African football!

    When Aldridge was interviewed before the game, the cruel knockout of the World Cup had already begun.


    The first to appear is the German team and Paraguay.


    The German team took the lead in reaching the quarterfinals with Neuville''s lore!


    But for this game, did not let the enthusiasm of the World Cup continue to climax.


    As Beckenbauer commented on the game: except for the excellent cooperation of scoring goals, the game is not very ornamental.


    The other mainstream media commented that the German team is also the same: the physical fitness is dominant, the technology is rough, and there is no strong team style.


    Even the German media maintained this view, cheering for the German team entering the quarter-finals, but not satisfied with the team''s performance.


    At night, the Nordic Civil War took place.


    In the group stage, the Danish team that relied on Thomason to score four goals became passive when Thomason could not show his power. The Swedish team won the game with Larson and Svenson, and won the game 2:0. Sweden The team also successfully advanced to the top 8!


    The Swedish team finally made it out of the death group, and now it has gone one step further and entered the quarterfinals of the World Cup, but it is too difficult for them to reach the quarterfinals because they will encounter the winner between Brazil and Belgium.


    The next day, the England team arrived in the southern part of Kyushu in the morning and was warmly welcomed by countless English fans. Many fans followed throughout the journey.


    Just after noon, around the Oita Stadium, the distinct jersey colors and skin colors between the English and the Africans became the mainstream around this area.


    This stadium with the common name of big eyes is like a deity''s coming. It seats in advance and overrides the sky, waiting for a thrilling green war to start.


    Aldrich, as always, did not emphasize the fighting spirit of the players, everything was methodical, this calmly has been affecting the players of the team from the beginning of training, calming their minds.


    Today is a sunny day. At the kick-off of 2:30 in the afternoon, Aldridge walked into the stadium and listened to the cheering made by the English fans and the Senegalese fans. It seemed like a heat wave was rolling. In this weather, it seemed even more Very hot.


    Aldridge and Mechu met on the sidelines, the two shook hands solemnly, and each other''s unspoken eyes contained a respect.


    It is a fate to meet in the World Cup. It is a skill to meet in the round of 16.


    England''s players are standing in the player channel with serious looks. From the **** away of Germany at the end of last year to the excellent performance of the recent group stage, the transformation of the English team''s temperament is even more impressive.


    They don''t say a word, they don''t give people a sense of immediate sight, more like a group of steel warriors.


    No relaxation, no over-expansion of self-confidence, giving people dignity and firm attachment.


    In the eyes of others, you will see that this is a cohesive team, a team with pursuit, and a team that is difficult to be beaten!


    The Senegalese players looked at the England players beside them. As opponents, they were obviously not as famous as England, but Senegalese players also showed a sense of perseverance.


    Mei Chu said before the game that he would not think about what happened afterwards and would only focus on the round of 16.


    Senegal¡¯s players also appeared ambitious in an interview.


    The best result of the African team in the World Cup is the quarterfinals. Senegalese players said that they will play in the World Cup for the first time. If they can reach the quarterfinals, they will be very happy and satisfied.


    When the players from both sides played, it was obvious that Senegal''s players'' expressions changed suddenly and they were full of fighting spirit.


    11 players have the same conviction in their hearts, with the two front-court top killers Diouf and Kamala as the leaders: fighting for African football!


    In 2002, no one thought that Senegal would finally carry the African football flag!


    Tunisia, South Africa, Nigeria, Cameroon, 5 African teams participating in the World Cup, 4 of them lost their lives in the group stage, and the last remaining force in Africa is Senegal!


    "The highly anticipated World Cup knockout has already started. This afternoon, we can finally witness the debut of England. Senegal is a very strong team. They participated in the World Cup for the first time and were in the same group as the defending champion France. The outside world thinks that it is impossible for their group to qualify, but they just missed the qualifying team and beat the French team, which shocked the world."


    "Yes, Senegal is the biggest dark horse in this competition, but in my opinion, it may be that the outside world underestimates them and does not understand them. If you calm down and analyze this team carefully, they have obvious advantages. France, a French coach like Mechu injected some Latin elements into them, but they still have obvious shortcomings. The last match with Uruguay 3:3 is incredible. With a three-goal lead, they almost collapsed. This reflects the lack of experience and mental instability of this dark horse. I hope the England team can take advantage of this."


    "Gary said it makes sense. We will expect England to restrain Senegal through a stable play. Now we will introduce the starting lineup of both sides.


    England 4321.


    Goalkeeper: Seaman.


    Guards: Phil Neville, Ferdinand, Southgate, Ashley Cole.


    Midfielder: Beckham, Bart, Lampard.


    Front waist: Scholes, McManaman.


    Forward: Owen.


    Senegal 532.


    Goalkeeper: Selva.


    Defenders: Collie, M. Diop, Cisse, Diata, Dave.


    Midfielders: B. Diop, Siyaf, Faye.


    Forwards: Kamala, Diouf.


    The game started immediately, first with Senegal kicking off. "


    Aldridge stood on the sidelines with his arms around his chest and his eyes were shining. Senegal put on a 5 guard today. Although it will make it difficult for the England team, the defense is not a sharp team after all. The formation is not important. The key is the technical and tactical characteristics.


    After the opening, Diouf, the African who has been in Ligue 1 in the last two seasons, used his skillful ball control to frequently threaten the left side of the frontcourt.


    Aldridge lost his temper at the opening and shouted at Beckham: "What did I say to you yesterday, did you forget?"


    Beckham did not dare to quit, or even to look at the squishy Audridge. He gritted his teeth and immediately tried harder to defend Diouf.


    He was only broken once by Diouf, but caused Aldridge''s thunder.


    No matter what Beckham thinks, Aldridge can''t allow the team to make low-level mistakes anyway.


    Senegal¡¯s offense did not have many unexpected points of attack. Diouf was a very important point. His dribbling breakthrough, ball control to get rid of, and the ability to partially tear the opponent¡¯s defense line were an important means of attack in Senegal.


    I really want to say how powerful Senegal is, it must be false. They came out of the group and only unexpectedly defeated the French team in the first game. The French team failed and had their own problems. Zidane was not present and underestimated the enemy. and many more.


    But after playing against Denmark and Uruguay, Senegal still scored goals, but none of them won!


    They have passion, but passion and strength are not equal.


    Beckham''s problems are very common and the most prone to players.


    The England team takes defensive counterattack as the core of tactics. In any case, it is necessary to defend the opponent first.


    In the area on the left, Baja Neville Jr. is a teammate of the club and spent most of his time last season, because Phil''s brother went to the guest defender.


    Who is Diouf? Which green onion?


    He didn''t have any reputation at all, and he also played in the Ligue 1 team.


    But if Beckham takes the attitude and action of playing Argentina against Gonzalez and Flea, how could Diouf easily break through?


    This is the natural psychological reaction brought about by the gap in magnitude. It''s like an adult boxing. The opponent is a child, so naturally there is no interest.


    And Diouf''s personal ability is really incomparable with the little flea or Gonzalez, the first-line star who once set off a tremendous wave of UEFA in Valencia.


    If he meets players such as Ovimas, Ronaldinho, Figo, Beckham is broken, Aldridge will not blame him at all, but Diouf, no!


    It was like Diouf slapped the England team!


    And this is clearly what Odridge said before the game.


    Regardless of whether the opening player did not enter the state, Aldridge could not tolerate.


    Beckham woke up with a twelve-point spirit, and he did not hesitate to grab the next time when defending Diouf, increasing his aggression. Diouf flexed the ball to get rid of the breakthrough from the outside line, but he just passed Beckham, Phil Neville immediately grabbed, the steal was successful, England was turned from defense to attack!


    This is the defensive effect it should have. Beckham must not be cleaned. Even if the opponent breaks through, they must form interference and obstacles to the next action, or confrontation with physical contact, or small actions.


    The England team''s anti-counterattack was staged again, and Senegal''s three midfielders could not stop them from counterattacking evenly.


    However, it was almost impossible for the opponent to put up 5 defenders and cross the midfield line.


    With a 60-meter cross-section, 5 people defend, even if someone delays, counting the sideline itself is a layer of defense, which is equal to 7 points, each person is responsible for less than 10 meters, one point is about 5-6 meters, then In addition, as the opponent attacks, the line of defense will tilt appropriately, not only compressing the breakthrough line, but also shortening the distance between the complementary positions.


    However, the English team''s attack on the front line looks exactly the same as playing Argentina, McManaman pulls the edge!


    However, McManaman pulls the ball behind to control the ball, attracting the opponent''s defensive strength, he will not make the next breakthrough, meaningless.


    Breaking through to the bottom line, certainly not cut into the inside, and the cross is not the established tactics of the England team.


    However, in the third minute, the England team still played a very threatening attack.


    McManaman controlled the ball on the right and waited patiently for the opponent to be surrounded by two players before passing the ball back to the center.


    Scholes knocked aside excessively, Lampard rushed up and bombarded the door.


    Long shot!


    Senegal goalkeeper Selva made a wonderful save to get the ball out of the bottom line!


    The England fans in the stands uttered a huge sigh and immediately applauded, applauding Lampard''s long shot from the goal range.


    "Oh, break the three routines of intensive defense, breakthrough, long shot, positioning ball. If the England team wants to use a breakthrough, I am afraid that apart from Irving and McManman, no other player can count on it. McManaman''s ability to break through continuously in a small area is also very limited, but we have many long-range players, plus Senegal Tun heavy soldiers in the last line, they can not block our long-range point, today''s Hall''s tactical thinking is clear at a glance , Just hit a long shot, and at the same time should make a fuss about the positioning ball. Beckham''s positioning ball footwork, if you don''t use it, it''s a pity."


    Andy Gray only saw this attack and commented sharply.


    When he saw that McManaman did not rush to take the next step after taking the ball on the wing, it was to attract the opponent''s defensive strength, he guessed Aldridge''s tactical arrangement today.

 Chapter 844： Horror pressure

    The English team''s tactical layout of the game was known, and even foreseen, Aldridge was not surprised.


    For the England team, it is impossible to play a shocking surprise effect in a game.


    In particular, their offensive routines are based on space. The only way to play against Argentina is when opponents give them space. The English team can play unpredictably.


    In fact, there is no secret for everyone. Even though England and Senegal both shocked the outside world in the group stage, in the knockout stage, it is impossible to have major changes of their own, and they are thoroughly studied by opponents and they know each other.


    Therefore, the tactical moves have changed from "odd" to "real" confrontation.


    As China''s art of war says: the right to win with the odd.


    The current war is the right of both sides.


    It is difficult for anyone to kill an opponent by surprise.


    With Senegal''s strength, even with intensive defense, it can only focus on restricting opponents to invade one level of the area, because this is a knockout game, they must attack, do not attack, go to the penalty shootout?


    Therefore, they are either laying heavy soldiers on the back line or hoarding defensive forces on the midfield line. They want to play double forwards and play backcourt defense balance. That is to find a dead end. At this point, Mei Chu is still very clear, so he Choose to concentrate troops on the back line, after all, the threat is the highest in that area.


    And England seems to have foreseen this. From the beginning of the game, it directly used the long-range peripheral shots, and never accumulated troops on the front line of the offensive end.


    It''s not difficult to foresee this, just look at the formation of Senegal''s platoons, 5 guards.


    And think about who else you have, Owen!


    Does the defender dare to give Owen space to counter offside and speed to hit?


    Therefore, Aldrich¡¯s tactical choice is based on knowing himself and knowing each other. It is not just going to do it alone, and this is the coaching experience and ability. Before the game started, the battle between the coaches has quietly begun.


    The fans in Senegal in the stands cheered enthusiastically for the team, even if their team gradually fell into the disadvantage after the opening, they could not counter any threat!


    England''s defensive felling is very fierce, and it is in place!


    Diouf and Kamala were divided, and when the soldiers fought back, the England team blocked them and entangled to the end.


    Mei Chu stood on the sidelines and had to sigh the strength of the young master next door!


    It''s harder than he thought.


    Playing France is not so difficult.


    The French team has the arrogance of a double champion anyway, the England team is more like a dead leg of mud, and even Beckham¡¯s dirty work is decent, and it is difficult to imagine how this popular superstar The young master was convinced and willing to do so.


    Senegal¡¯s counterattack is not threatening. Except that Kamala and Diouf were backed by the England team in the frontcourt after the halftime and the backcourt player cut the connection with his teammates through the position, and the most important point, Senegal is not going to go!


    Why is this happening?


    Mei Chu watched the game for 20 minutes before trying to understand this.


    McManaman!


    Although this player, known as the Poodle by English fans, has not scored yet, he is undoubtedly the best player in the English team. None of them is because he is the most flexible part of Aldridge¡¯s tactical deployment. And key points.


    McManaman pulled the ball from side to side, controlling the ball on the wing, not only to attract defensive forces, but also another important purpose: to return Senegal''s midfielders to defense!


    His possession of the ball virtually changed the overall situation of the game. This rhythm is a classic.


    The counterattack pays attention to playing fast, but Senegal puts up a intensive defense of 5 guards. It is meaningless for England to pursue fast, because there is no obvious empty.


    In addition to attracting firepower to set up the fort in the midfield, McManaman''s task is to reshape the overall situation of the game.


    Make the whole formation of Senegal withdraw!


    If you don¡¯t do this, England will always pursue fast, maybe Senegal¡¯s midfield line hasn¡¯t come back, their defender line has successfully defended, and then the midfield line players directly turn around to fight back, their starting position of attack will be very favorable, Pushing it up quickly makes it harder to mark.


    Mechu discovered this, because McManaman controlled the ball on the wing and did not rush out the ball, so that Senegal¡¯s overall formation was recovered. Then Senegal even launched a counterattack from the backcourt. After all, his ability is not the top. When he wants to play fast, he passes the ball to the first line for the first time. Diouf and Kamala are in a situation of isolation. If they are patient organizations, England quickly retreats and the midfield and backcourt The defense will become flawless. With Senegal¡¯s positional combat capabilities, the more complicated the offense, the easier it is to make mistakes!


    Mei Chu now realized the absolute pressure brought by the young commander!


    This is an invisible rule of terror, and Senegal is restricted from playing passion.


    Diouf was intercepted again and again, fell in the confrontation, climbed up, trying to seek contact with Kamala, but in the frontcourt, with frequent passing errors, the Trengah lion of Senegal seemed to be struggling. There was a lingering breath in England''s violent storm.


    Lampard long shot, Scholes long shot, Beckham long shot, Ashley Cole long shot, McManaman long shot...


    After 35 minutes of play, the England team had 12 shots, but there was no one in the penalty area!


    Bang, Bang, Bang!


    The three shots that hit the post or beam made the Senegalese defense faltering, and African fans in the stands began to tremble with fear, because they saw the sign that the team was approaching collapse. The third shot that hit the post was actually Ash. Li Cole made a long-range shot without a threat, clearly deviating from the goal, but defender Tiata made the ball from the ball and redirected the ball to the goal. The goalkeeper Selva did not respond. Fortunately, he hit the goal. Pop up on the column.


    "It''s just a little bit, just a little bit, England can almost destroy Senegal. England has a high success rate in the short field in the frontcourt today, creating a chance to take a long shot, Scholes and Beckham The difference between the score and the goal is very small, but the absolute advantage of the England team has been reflected, and we have successfully limited Senegal¡¯s counterattack!"


    When Martin Taylor was passionately explaining, Senegal broke out the most threatening counterattack after the opening.


    Carrying the flag of African football, Diouf single-handedly rushed past Beckham and Phil Neville. At this moment, because of a defensive counterattack, Phil Neville and Beckham appeared to cooperate. Mistake, because it was Neville who assisted him to take it up. Beckham¡¯s position was similar to him. Both of them wanted to wait for the other to grab it first. They made a second decision. Bloody road!


    After Diouf broke through this defensive line, he kept dribbling forward. Bart followed Camara, who was quickly inserted in the middle. Ferdinand stepped forward to defend Diouf. The latter broke out an amazing performance and stopped the ball. , The guard turned 180 degrees and wiped out Ferdinand!


    Just after he passed, a long leg lay in front of him, the ball under Diouf''s feet flew and was shoveled out of the sideline.


    Southgate stood up blankly from the ground without looking at the regrettable Diouf. He said to Ferdinand harshly: "Even if it''s passed, don''t chase him, it''s useless! First Time to make up for my place! It was dangerous just now, if he passes, the middle will be empty!"


    Facing the current national team captain, the oldest brother of Millwall, Ferdinand didn''t dare to feel dissatisfied and nodded immediately.


    Just now, Southgate took the risk of emptiness in the penalty area to assist defense, of course, this is also because Diouf, not other top players, if it is other players who have a stronger sense of ball, Southgate Dare to rush to fill the position, will only move to this side, taking into account the defense on the other side.


    Mei Chu saw that the attack failed to form even a shot, and he immediately sighed and felt endless regret.


    But he also knows that if England''s defensive system really gives opponents an unmarked starting opportunity in the penalty area, then it must be a golden opportunity, and it is not far from breaking the door.


    The fleeting opportunity was ultimately unsuccessful.


    Senegal''s full-back Dave came up to serve the sideline. He just threw the ball to Diouf, and saw Diouf trying to pass Phil Neville by Ferdinand''s way, but Phil Neville stretched his foot. Stabbing the ball away from him two meters away, Dave and Diouf both came to grab the ball, but Beckham was faster, he was already defending Diouf, Becky fancyly kicked the ball towards the heel Midway behind, Bart did not hesitate to pass the ball to Scholes not far ahead.


    The England team''s defense and the passing of Beckham''s heels made the fans in England applaud.


    Senegal''s frontline sideline failed to attack, turned around and the England team''s counterattack suddenly broke out.


    Senegal pressed up the midfield line, Scholes did not rush, and crossed the ball back to knock on Lampard. He ran forward and crossed the Slav, Lampard then moved the ball from Slav In the middle of the pass with B. Diop, a very simple 2 over 1 match, Scholes crossed the Senegal midfield line!


    After passing the midfield, Scholes immediately passed the ball to McManaman who was already running.


    McManaman''s sense of running position reflects his ability to read the game. Senegal sent a sideline ball on the left side of the frontcourt, and the formation was obviously tilted to the side. If the sideline is empty at this time, it must be corresponding. The left side is the biggest, but if Senegal returns, the left-leaning formation will inevitably compress the focus on the left side, then the England team''s next attack development is very unfavorable.


    And McManaman, he pulled off the left side of England''s frontcourt, which is the other side of the Senegal formation tilt.


    This advantage is that Senegal''s defense movement from left to right, the formation can not be kept absolutely tight, giving the England team more space to insert teammates.


    McManaman controlled the ball and didn''t move forward anymore. Senegalese players started rushing towards him to defend.


    Mei Chu looked shocked on the sidelines.


    Without warning, he felt something was wrong.


    McManaman was not close to the bottom line, he should continue to charge forward, but he did not.


    Suddenly, Mei Chu realized the most sensitive judgment for the coach to read the game: this is a sign of a change in attack rhythm!

 Chapter 845： Im sorry, thank you

    Oita Stadium.


    The 1/8 final between England and Senegal has been played for 40 minutes, and the score is still 0:0. It seems that the traditional strong team England has an absolute advantage, and the technical statistics are overall superior.


    At this point in time, the England team''s offense changed.


    This year''s budding full-back Ashley Cole assisted. Previously, he tended to respond on this side, or when McManaman was on this side, he ran inside and shot long shots on the perimeter. .


    But this time, the curly dog ??McManaman controlled the ball on the wing and was 40 yards from the bottom line. He had a slow rhythm and seemed to have no desire to attack. The audience on the scene clearly saw two players rushing in Senegal. In the past, McManaman was besieged, and behind McManaman, Ashley Cole quickly inserted.


    Just before the impact of these three points was about to meet, McManaman kicked the ball slightly in front of the sidewalk. Then, he moved and quickly started running the in-line.


    Ashley Cole kept speed, rushed to lead the ball directly to the bottom line.


    After two seconds, Ashley Cole''s position was already parallel to the line of the penalty area. His cross was to pass the ball back to McManaman who suddenly dumped the defensive player after the start.


    McManaman took the ball to the left of the penalty area, and then he drew laterally under the terrified gaze of the Senegal defender line. He continued to dribble laterally, and no one knows when he will suddenly change into the penalty area!


    McManaman is also observing, almost coldly. His dribbling footwork is very delicate. Similar to Henry, neither is fancy dribbling breakthrough, but the rhythm changes, and the emergency stops to some basic exercises. To a certain level.


    Scholes'' running position involved McManaman''s dribbling in front of the penalty area. No Senegalese player dared to grab the first time.


    Until, left-back Tiata took a step forward!


    McManaman''s eyes narrowed, and as Tiata took a step, his foot kicked the ball behind Tiata!


    Tiata didn''t even make a stretch of the foot. This poor pass rhythm is too precise, so that the defensive player must be too late to intercept it!


    When Tiata turned his head and looked to the side and the back, his heart was suddenly cold!


    A figure was killed, and central defender Ciss¨¦ followed but was significantly slower by half a beat.


    Tiata was praying for the England striker to waste this opportunity, otherwise he would become a sinner!


    If he does not move, there is no room for Owen to run diagonally!


    He just moved, and there was a gap in the right area of ??the penalty area. Owen ran to the ball. Ciss¨¦ had a position away from him. It was impossible to defend him unless the foul was committed, or Owen stopped the ball and made other choices. Will give Ciss¨¦ a chance.


    However, Irving did not give Senegal defenders any chance.


    Even, he did not give goalkeeper Selva a chance.


    Facing the ball, half-turned and kicked!


    When the ball rolled towards the goal, Ciss¨¦''s long legs were blocked for perhaps less than half a second. Cisser looked in horror towards the goal. His wide eyes saw that Selvatzo was unprepared. The spot rushed to the right, obviously, slowly. Before his hand could touch the turf, the ball had already rolled over.


    Rolled into the goal from the far post position of the goal, then landed in the side net and stopped turning.


    Irving kept looking at the goal direction after the shot was completed. In fact, in less than a second, he saw that the ball must enter without doubt, and then his serious face blossomed in a crazy color of joy, spread his arms towards the sideline Running, at the same time, a huge wave of English fans set off in the stands.


    "Owen! Michael Owen! Owen''s clever push to help the England team lead, 1: 0, we finally scored! England is now ahead of the score! We did not have a shot in the penalty area before, but this time, the first shot It was so surprising that McManaman became the most threatening knife in the offense. He used the dribbling to disrupt Senegal¡¯s defense and then sent impeccable assists!"


    "Martin, Andy, I think that¡¯s why a year and a half ago, when people predicted that McManaman would be abandoned by Hall, but in the end McManaman stayed with the England team and was also given a heavy responsibility by Hall. The reason! It''s just the dribbling, breakthrough, and disruption of the opponent''s defense line. I think that apart from McManaman, there is no second player in England who can do it. That''s why Hall needs him, trusts him, treats him seriously, In the third World Cup, McManaman''s third game, like his first two games, played a very important role against Sweden and Argentina! I can''t imagine that without McManaman, this England team How much will the power of the offense fall!"


    This is a phenomenon that not only England but even fans all over the world have not anticipated.


    In the England lineup, the top stars are Beckham and Owen, but when it comes to the importance of the game and the key person to change the game situation, McManaman is the first player, and he has become the most outstanding player.


    Owen ran to the sideline after scoring a goal, he made a big circle, and finally rushed in front of Audridge in the chase of his teammates, jumped directly, hugged Audridge, almost knocked Audridge to the ground Fortunately, there are coaches and players behind Aldridge who rushed out of the bench. England''s coaches and players gathered together, cheering for the goal and celebrating for the goal.


    No one knows that Owen used an undetectable voice in Aldridge''s ear, and only Aldridge could hear a word.


    "Coach, sorry, thank you."


    A "sorry" sound, from the heart, is also full of regret and regret.


    Perhaps Irving still couldn''t relieve his rude behavior of rejecting Aldridge, and regretted that he missed the mentorship with Aldridge in the club.


    A "Thank you" is equally sincere.


    During the World Cup group stage, Irving was highly questioned. Even though he had a goal in the victory over Argentina, he wasted a lot of opportunities. It was Aldridge who firmly supported him.


    Whether it is because England has no forwards besides Irving, Owen thinks he should say thanks to Aldridge.


    Aldridge just smiled, touched Owen¡¯s head, cheered the players up, and shouted at them: ¡°Don¡¯t give them any chance! Senegal, the Tranga Lions, we have to tell them that they can¡¯t stop us from going to eight. Strong!"


    The England team also took advantage of this opportunity to explain to each other the attitude of the final stage of the first half.


    Southgate raised the defensive line and told everyone to be stable, so that the frontcourt also closed, focusing on counterattacks. There was little time left in the first half. If the other party stormed, England''s counterattack might still have a magical effect.


    The African fans in the stands were a little lost. It seemed that the team still couldn''t stop the three lions from being crushed.


    The game saw the huge gap between the two teams in the eyes of the fans. This gap is reflected in the overall technical and tactical strength, not the individual player''s performance. The English team calmly and orderly, Senegal responded passively, under constant pressure Cumulatively, when the threats continue to rise, they will be unable to resist and become self-disruptive!


    This is a matter of experience. Just like Senegal''s 3-0 lead to Uruguay, they will no longer play football. In turn, they are under great threat. Under continuous bombing, they can''t keep up with their thinking.


    Tiata¡¯s hastily grabbed, to some extent, was the collapse of the psychological defense line, otherwise, reason will tell him to stand in position, block the area, McManaman does not break through, don¡¯t manage the opponent, even if the England team played outside Long shot, just hit it. Did you hit less before?


    However, he failed to stop the pressure and was eager to stifle the other party''s threat. Instead, he lost his position and gave Irving the opportunity to run, resulting in a flaw in the defense of the most dangerous zone in the penalty area.


    Mei Chu motivated players on the sidelines. He also knew that after less than half a game, the gap between the technical and tactical strength of the two teams was already obvious.


    Although 21 players from Senegal¡¯s 23 internationals are playing in the French league, their style of play is quite a romantic shadow of Latin. The players dare to play and dare to make moves, and their technical ability does not appear clumsy, but smooth and comfortable.


    However, in the face of England''s close and orderly defense, their offense is too dependent on individuals, it is difficult to have room to play. At the same time, this kind of dependence on the English team, even in addition to McManaman, you will not feel that the English team has the skills to play. What advantage, but better integrity, better teamwork, makes the England team create a huge advantage on the field, this is the team sublimation effect of the individual players together.


    In the use of tactics, Mei Chu expected that the England team planned to make changes in the first half of the final stage.


    Before, don''t look at McManaman''s left and right, the running position is erratic, and other players interspersed with short passing passes are also irregular, but in fact, the routine is one, which is to create a long-range opportunity for midfielders.


    It''s like in the past, no matter how the offensive was played in England, the most important offensive method was the side pass.


    In the same way, if you don''t change, you will fall into rigidity, and at the same time let your opponents get more defensive.


    But Senegal was not a particularly mature team after all. England¡¯s long-range routine not only did not rigidify themselves. On the contrary, it paralyzed Senegal and McManaman¡¯s lateral dribbling in front of the penalty area. The midfielder defended the person closest to him. Siyaf went to stare at Scholes, Faye followed Beckham, if someone could firmly defend McManaman, I am afraid he would not give Owen an assist so easily.


    There is still game time, Mei Chu will not admit defeat now, but he really can not be optimistic, he is constantly mobilizing the enthusiasm of players to inspire them.


    This is the only thing he can do.


    How to crack England, tactically, he is at a loss.


    But football, it''s not impossible to turn things around in a short time with just one blood, so Senegal, fight for African football!


    Perhaps all hope can be pinned on passion!

 Chapter 846： Great Sword Wufeng Big Skills Not Working

    The first half of the 1/8 final of England vs Senegal came to an end. Senegal did not make the game turbulent in the final stage, and England did not get a better offensive opportunity.


    Mei Chu and his disciples came into the player''s tunnel with frowns, and the England team seemed very calm.


    Aldrich emphasized tactical discipline in the locker room during the halftime break. Senegal cannot be underestimated. As the coach, he has an unwavering and firm position on his tactical arrangements. At this point, any player who violates him is like Committed Tenjo.


    In the second half, the two sides changed sides and played again. As soon as Senegal came up, they tried to launch a fast break, but the England team was faster than them!


    "On the schedule, neither of the two teams actually has a clear advantage. However, the players of the England team have a rest period of about 10 days, and the players of Senegal are only about 5 days. From the performance of the first half of the second half, the English team¡¯s physical fitness The advantage began to show. Under the mental pressure behind the score, Senegal not only failed to reverse the situation on the field, but the disadvantage became more and more obvious. Their fast break always gave the impression that the team was not in a unified rhythm. There will be obvious mistakes in front and back contact, and the rate of passing and receiving starts to increase."


    "This is also related to the formation of England. England has tight defense in the midfield and backcourt. To deal with England''s defense, the attacking side must be more patient, the pass success rate must be guaranteed, and then, the offense player''s off-ball running, It is necessary to pay a great physical cost to cope with the advance. The former is a requirement for the team''s technical and tactical capabilities, and the latter is a requirement for the player''s physical fitness. Senegal appears to be weak and weak in trying to level the gap with England on these two points."


    Mechu also sees that Senegal is trying to burst out his passion for reversal, but the England team is difficult to shake like a towering mountain, and the Lion of Tranga is more like a cub to be slaughtered in front of the European Lion.


    Senegal''s players'' defensive actions are inevitably bigger, because they are more offensive than in the first half, but when they are counterattacked by England in the back and forth, the midfielders become passive when they return to the defense and can only increase their actions.


    Lampard, who was about to catch the ball, was blatantly pulled by B Diop from the back and fell to the ground. The referee showed B. Diop a yellow card and England received a free kick.


    Four minutes later, Beckham was still tripped by Faye after the ball was played, and the second yellow card appeared again.


    Mei Chu''s expression was dignified, his heart was bleeding, Audric not far from the next door, and the creation of England seemed like a cold deity. Senegal was forced to use unconventional means to contain the opponent, and he returned to fouls again and again. Opponents continuously get a chance to position the ball.


    In the free kick of the front court, Beckham took three consecutive free kicks, all of which chose to directly attack the goal. Some of them deviated from the goal and some hit the goal.


    When McManaman cut from the left and took the middle from the left in the 66th minute and was thrown down by Siaf before the penalty area, the referee showed a third yellow card and all three Senegal midfielders were yellow.


    Mei Chu knew that playing like this wouldn''t work, he planned to make a substitution, otherwise, a player would be sent off with a red card within 10 minutes.


    The England team scored the fourth direct free kick in the second half. It was in a good position, and left in front of the penalty area.


    Guards Ferdinand, Ashley Cole rushed up and occupied the area with Irving, McManaman, and Lampard.


    Beckham is standing in front of the ball. Behind him, the England team has three defensive players, Phil Neville, Bart, Southgate, plus Beckham after the kick-off, and Scott, who is almost parallel to Beckham¡¯s position. Wells, even if the England team is counterattacked, the number of defenders in the midfield and backcourt is sufficient. This is the habit they developed for positioning ball training.


    From the outside, Beckham''s expression is serious. People are expecting the full moon scimitar to draw a beautiful arc, but Beckham hesitates.


    His free-kick skills have already taken the lead in the world. The probability of scoring is about 20%. That is to say, giving him 5 chances can basically score a goal, but it does not mean that he takes 5 free kicks. For goals, the probability is a statistic, not a law.


    He turned his head towards Scholes, and Scholes nodded, silently stepping forward.


    After Scholes walked a few steps forward, Beckham approached and posed for a shot.


    Senegal¡¯s players believe that Beckham will directly attack the goal, because the England team does not have an absolute header advantage in the penalty area. In other words, the probability of Beckham passing into the penalty area for his teammates is not high, especially the position of this free kick Obviously, it is better to directly attack the goal.


    So the wall jumped and increased the height of air defense, while some other marked players focused on the development of the ball trajectory.


    Surprisingly, Beckham did not directly hit the goal, but passed the ball to Scholes!


    Scholes'' position is more to the left, facing the goal diagonally. Although the angle is not good, there is no barrier between the goal and the wall!


    Senegal''s players were shocked by this, subconsciously swarming towards Scholes, everyone else followed the goal of marking.


    However, they missed someone!


    Who?


    Beckham!


    After passing the ball to Scholes, Beckham ran diagonally from the left side of the penalty area and rushed to the right side of the penalty area, the back point area of ??the goal, it happened that the Senegalese player was going to Scholes Moving, between these thrusts, Beckham is getting bigger and bigger in the process of running, no one is watching him!


    Senegal tried to block Scholes'' shooting angle, short pass line, but missed the character who is basically impossible to appear in the running position: Beckham!


    Scholes crossed the ball at a 45-degree angle, and the ball flew from under his feet, spinning around the top of the Senegalese player''s head and falling into the free area on the right side of the penalty area.


    The Senegalese team turned their heads and looked horrified.


    Beckham was unmarked and easily stopped the ball. While goalkeeper Selva abandoned the goal, he calmly pushed and sent the ball from Selva''s foot into the goal!


    Cheers from the Oita Stadium, Beckham flicked his arms and flew...


    "David Beckham! 2:0! 2:0! Beckham and Scholes teamed up to complete a classic set ball match. This set ball tactic is so perfect that one foot of the England team stepped in. The quarterfinals!"


    "This is an exquisite free-kick match, and it must have been practiced in training. David''s running position and Paul''s pass line are obviously not accidental. The preparations for England seem to be doing very well. We Instead of pursuing flashy techniques and tactics, we have put some basic things we can do to the extreme!"


    Mei Chu was expressionless and a little unwilling in his eyes, but he had to admit that the England team was too strong.


    This strength is not reflected in whether their players can rewrite the game by themselves, but they use their strength in the most suitable place.


    This is a seemingly unpretentious England team with simple connotations but not rough, because they interpret the most basic things into a qualitative effect.


    The methodical passing, the accuracy of nearly 80% of the pass success rate, the clean and neat team cooperation, yes, they don¡¯t have too many personal performances, but they are to bring the most basic things that some football coaches train players to emphasize to the extreme. Better than any team, use this "simple" ability to shape the game.


    An English team with no personal color, even change the jersey number of some players, erase the name, you will not think they are too different, they are all in one, there is a great sword The sense of nature.


    Of course, their viewability is not particularly high, but Aldridge is not to please the fans, to please the audience to build the England team, he is for honor.


    Like Brazil and Spain, the team can be attributed to ingenuity, then the England team is awkward, reaching the limit, and has great power, 90% practical, plus 10% have similar McManaman, Beckham , Irving and other personal play supplement.


    Whether the England team is the strongest, I don¡¯t know, one or two games are not convincing, but in the eyes of Aldridge, the current England team is the most in line with the style of England and the extreme height they can pursue.


    Aldridge clenched his fists and waved up and down with a smile.


    2: 0.


    Then he looked to Beckham to accept the cheers from the fans, and England players gathered in the corner flag area to set off waves.


    This positioning tactic is naturally a key exercise for the England team, and there is much to do.


    Because Beckham is too dazzling, the subjective judgment brought by his direct bombardment is too strong, which is one of the sources of change.


    The routine of free kick is actually not complicated.


    In positional warfare, vertical forward attack, triangle attack pass line, the player''s back is inserted to cooperate with the pass, and the reverse cut line is the most lethal, which is the reverse direction of the defensive player''s active defense, which makes the defensive player have the greatest rhythm. Change, emergency stop, and turn around. This penetration offensive is the easiest to see in the battle of Millwall. Nedved is the classic character who runs to meet his teammates'' direct and reverse cuts and then enters the penalty area.


    Aldridge just transplanted this idea to the positioning ball design. As long as the positioning ball is coordinated, as long as the stadium is turned 90 degrees and viewed horizontally, it is actually an anti-cut line pass and running. Senegalese players go to Scholes Running, and because Beckham is the most easily overlooked threat point, after all, everyone thinks that Beckham will take the free kick, and no one of their markings will follow Beckham closely, so Beckham is missed, and at the same time And because of the flock to Scholes, Beckham ran the anti-cut line, Senegal reacted and then stopped, turned around, far away, speeded up and chased again, beyond reach.


    Mechu replaced three people in one breath, and also changed Senegal''s formation. 5 guards changed back to 4 guards, added a midfielder, and the overall formation became 442.


    Senegal also wanted to force, but the England team closed, Aldridge replaced McManaman, let Alan Smith play, before Smith appeared, Aldridge pulled him to tell a lot, let Smith appear, just to Unleash the characteristics of his desperate Saburo and disrupt the Senegal midfield organization!


    After this substitution is completed, the England team, besides Irving and the goalkeeper, the other nine players, regardless of position or ability, have a great effect on the defense. The midfield and backcourt are almost the same combination of engineers!


    Seeing the changes in the England team, Mei Chu sighed in the sky: finished!


    Now, it has become Senegal to break the intensive defense!


    The England team is not shrinking the restricted area. The whole defense system has a clear sense of hierarchy. It can be seen from the position, 4321.


    Although there was a little space on the wing for Senegal, they did not have a high center at all. They wanted to use punching to defeat the originator of this tactic. Senegal was obviously not warm enough.


    With less offensive investment and less offensive play, the offensive cannot advance.


    With much offensive investment, big soldiers, Beckham, Lampard, Scholes, and a long pass, Owen''s speed advantage is reflected.


    The time left for Senegal is getting less and less, and they cannot break the goal, even the offensive advancement is very weak.


    In the 80th minute of the game, Aldridge used the second substitution and Joe Cole played to replace Irving.


    Aldridge also gave life to Joe Cole for a while.


    After Joe Cole debuts, his role is to control the ball in the frontcourt. Like McManaman, he has pure control and does not advance the offense. He runs to a safe area, responds to his teammates¡¯ pass, and then Control the ball and observe the situation. If the Senegalese defense loses their senses and rushes to rob him, then he can play for his teammates and play a better offensive opportunity.


    In the 86th minute, such an opportunity really appeared!

 Chapter 847： Powerful stage, no escape

    Senegal made the final effort, and inevitably lost some sense, that is, the team was not mature enough. In the 86th minute, Joe Cole attracted a large number of Senegalese players to send out a diagonal long pass after the siege, and quickly inserted Scot Siers got a single-handed opportunity.


    However, Scholes had a big kick. After entering the penalty area, he met Selva who abandoned the goal. He took the first step to poke the ball away. Selva saved him and fell to the ground. The referee whistled at the same time. A penalty was awarded to the England team, which may consider that there is little time left in the game, and the result will not cause much suspense, only showing Selva a yellow card.


    "England scored a penalty at the end of the game. As long as the penalty is scored, there will be no suspense in the game. The morale of Senegalese players is now clearly lowered. They have done a good job as the first time to participate in the World Cup. Team, they performed better than the other four African teams, but unfortunately, they met the England team."


    Beckham stood in front of the penalty spot, he came to take the penalty, Senegal''s peripheral players seem to have given up, his face full of sadness.


    After the referee whistled, Beckham approached and Selva predicted to save to the right. Beckham''s shot was to kick the ball to the other side.


    boom!


    The ball hit the outside of the goal post and flew out of the baseline.


    Beckham stood with his hands on hips and lowered his head, then stepped on the turf annoyedly.


    Already leading by 2:0, with little time left for the game, Aldridge does not feel that this penalty has a direct impact on whether he can "kill the game".


    The other coaches and players sat back disappointed, Aldridge froze.


    Somehow, when he saw Beckham kicking a penalty kick, he thought of something, but he couldn''t catch the thought.


    The game continued, and England''s tight defense continued to limit the Tranga Lions'' counterattack.


    Aldridge remained in a state of fascination.


    He didn''t recover until the game was about to end, his right hand clenched his fist and gently hit the left palm.


    I got it!


    What was the idea that sprouted in his heart?


    Not reliable!


    Yes, England penalty kicks are not reliable!


    Why is it not reliable?


    Footwork, technique, psychology? Pressure resistance? luck?


    God knows.


    Anyway, Aldridge didn''t know.


    It stands to reason that England players have never seen a scene in the club? It''s impossible to be so affected by the international competition. Anyway, it''s not reliable.


    In other words, if the England team is expected to win in the penalty shootout, Aldridge is tackling his head and waiting for others to cut!


    The idea that emerged at this moment, although it has no impact on the game, but it has played a decisive role in the next World Cup journey.


    At the end of the game, Aldridge went directly to shake hands with Mechu. The two coaches chatted for a short time, and then Mechu walked in to comfort the lost disciples.


    "England vs Senegal''s World Cup 1/8 finals match ended, the England team won the opponent with a goal of Owen and Beckham 2: 0, after Germany and Sweden, became the third team to advance to the top 8. The opponents of England''s quarter-finals will be generated between Turkey and Japan. No matter who the opponent is, we will have two days more rest time than the opponent. This factor will bring great advantages to England. Now we have reason to believe that Hall led the Three Lions and is getting closer and closer to their dreams!"


    Aldridge walked into the court to hug every player. Today he did not praise them, but inspired them.


    The top 8 is far from where the dream ends!


    In the sunset, the England team reached the quarter-finals. When leaving the field, Aldridge in suits and suits walked in the middle. A row of English players behind him had taken off his soaked jersey and gave it to the fans in the stands. The **** English players, all looking like steel fighters, without excessive joy and complacentness, followed Aldridge''s footsteps and left the stadium with big eyes.


    In an interview after the game, Aldridge was very satisfied with England''s performance.


    "This is our fourth World Cup game. The players have completely entered the state and adapted to the rhythm of the World Cup. They are more calm and calm than the opponents in the game. I am very happy that the players have not only performed the coaching arrangements very well. At the same time, through their hard work, they defeated their opponents. Senegal is a respectable team. They let the world remember Senegal."


    This is not a particularly exciting game, but the England team¡¯s balance of offense and defense is free and easy, completely suffocating the Trlangah lions in their cages, and the England team¡¯s stable performance one game after another, making them After advancing to the quarter-finals, the position of winning the championship has become more stable.


    The major media commented on the game.


    "The Lions of Tringa can only tremble under the majesty of the Three Lions."


    "Mei Chu tactically missed, the gap between African football and European football is obvious."


    The England team scored 10 goals in four games and lost 1 goal. The offensive firepower is not the strongest, but it is also in the forefront, especially when their attack points are evenly distributed, and the number of goals lost is only 1, unlike the German team. A kind of godlike Kahn sheltered the city gates. The England team used team tactics to limit opponents¡¯ chances of breaking the goal, thus avoiding losing the ball. This reflects the strength of the team, so that the teams still on the World Cup stage can¡¯t ignore it. .


    At this moment, no matter how many people on Fleet Street were boasting that England will win the championship, now people are really looking forward to and can believe that England led by Aldridge has the strength to claim the throne!


    Because they have entered the quarter-finals, because their opponents in the top eight are Japan or Turkey, the probability of being able to snipe England is not too high. If they enter the quarter-finals, there are only two games left from the champion!


    The team reached the quarter-finals. The players were both excited and constantly restraining their desires. After returning to Tokyo, they actively relieved their physical fatigue. They stayed in the hotel honestly, even if they were with their families, they would stay in the hotel.


    The same is true for Aldridge. It¡¯s not that he is not in a mood to go around, but his parents are tired and need more rest. The two sons are not willing to go outside. The excitement of the initial travel has passed, and he has dinner in Aldrich. Sleep in the room.


    Aldridge and the coaching staff watched live TV on the TV in the hotel. That night, another game of the World Cup 1/8 was staged in South Korea.


    Spain vs Ireland.


    This game achieved Casillas, he saved two penalties in the penalty shootout, laid his position in the national team in one fell swoop, no one can shake for more than ten years after that!


    It¡¯s a pity for Ireland, not because they are planted in the penalty shootout, but because they are not the strongest lineup, the core of the team¡¯s midfield, the former captain Roy Keane, who is also the captain of Manchester United, Tiehan Keane Before the start of the World Cup, he fell out with the Irish Football Association and the coaching staff and was eventually expelled from the Irish national team.


    Keane is grumpy. It used to be on the field, but now it is off the court, especially when dealing with the interpersonal relationship in the football circle. He laughed at the Irish national team, attacked the coach, and even coached the coach. The shot, in the end, makes the Irish national team temporarily hire someone to take his place. If he is an unknown player, it doesn¡¯t matter. Just like the England team fired Rooney, it has no effect on the team. It can be used as the midfielder, Keane. The storm caused a significant decline in Irish power.


    Otherwise, Ireland and Germany will be in the same group in the group stage, maybe Ireland can grab the first place in the group, maybe the 1/8 finals will not meet Spain, of course, these have no absolute development trajectory, but Keane is fired After all, it reduces the possibility of a good development.


    The two-day World Cup 1/8 finals ended.


    Germany, Sweden, England, and Spain took the lead in advancing to the quarterfinals and eight seats, and Europe occupied half of the country, which is in line with the status of European football.


    The following day, the England team conducted the restorative training of the whole team as usual. There were more English fans coming to the training camp to cheer them up than before. The fans¡¯ expectations for the England team to win the Hercules Cup were higher and higher, and their beliefs were also increasing The more determined.


    This afternoon, in Jeonju, the 1/8 World Cup finals staged a civil war between China and North America.


    Mexico lost to the United States 0:2, the United States Son of Freedom created the best result of the World Cup after the war: reached the quarterfinals!


    They have a better record. In the 1930 World Cup, they reached the semi-finals, but the record 72 years ago is not worth mentioning. They only played three games. The third game was the 6:1 bloodbath in the semi-finals. The quantity and quality of the teams at that time and the size of the World Cup cannot be compared with the past half a century.


    In the evening, the only remaining super team in South America has finally appeared: Dream Brazil!


    In the match against Belgium, the Brazil team easily defeated the European Red Devils with a goal of Rivaldo and the aliens. Ronaldinho staged an assist to score twice. No one doubts that the assist king of this World Cup will be Ronaldinho was removed.


    The Brazilian team won a lot of effort. In the quarter-finals, they will fight with the Swedish team. As a result, the future of the England team has changed greatly.


    Because Brazil and England are in the same half of the semifinals, in other words, if both teams can reach the semifinals, then England and Brazil will meet in the semifinals!


    There have been Fleet Street media in the second day of the report to simulate the promotion of the England team, neither Turkey nor Japan seems to be a roadblock for the England team, and the Swedish team also seems to be unable to block the road to the throne of the Samba Corps. Then, there is a high probability of the semi-finals between the Three Lions and the Samba Legion!


    Aldridge is very calm about this. The England team got the top spot in the group stage and avoided Brazil in the quarter-finals. Otherwise, the next game will not be Sweden against Brazil, but England against Brazil, the same historical track. .


    But it can''t be avoided for a while.


    The World Cup is a stage for the strong, not a gambling paradise for the lucky guys to hit the Universiade. It should always come, and the semi-final meeting will be better than the quarter-final meeting, provided that both teams can pass. In the quarter-finals, the past shows that the strength has improved again. The two strong teams compete, and it is better than the two teams that are adjusting.


    There will be no fluke to win.


    Lose, there will be no complaints.


    On the afternoon of June 18, the England team¡¯s quarter-final was released. The golden generation of Japan seemed to have slacked off after reaching the goal of advancing to the top 16. Trussier changed his position and swallowed the bitter fruit, 0:1 Lost to the Turkey of the Xingyue Army, Turkey became the opponent of England''s next game, and Turkey, who participated in the World Cup for the first time in 50 years, also created a miracle belonging to their national team, and another black horse was born!


    The last game of the Round of 16 was played in South Korea later.


    A host is out first.


    There is only one host left in the last 16 appearances.


    After the South Korean team caused great controversy after the group match against the Portuguese team, the game with Italy once again set off a huge wave!

 Chapter 848： shameful!

    Although Millwall has trained four excellent Italian players, but in the Italian national team, only Zambrotta can become the main force.


    Italy''s good defenders in this period can''t count their hands. Materazzi can only play the substitute. Gattuso''s offensive roughness can''t be expected to create anything, so he can only play the substitute. The most helpless is Peel. Luo, it can be said that Pirlo is a player trained by a system of Millwall. The organization is delayed. It is not where Pirlo goes, which team can play, but pushing Pirlo''s position forward, he is soft and has no speed. Specialty, and unable to compete with the wolf king Totti, so in this period of Italy, the style of play is conservative, and still based on defensive tactics, Pirlo is also a substitute, not that coach Trapattoni does not trust Pirlo, but if he wants to Give Pirlo the main force, then Italy''s entire tactical system may have to undergo earth-shaking changes, from defense to offense, all have to change. Obviously, for a player, this kind of major surgery, the coach will not do it.


    Therefore, among the European teams, the Italian team with the most luxurious line-up, cannot perform in the group stage performances at the World Cup, and it is difficult to equate them with the championship.


    However, this does not mean that Italy has become weaker. The thin and dead camels are bigger than the horses. Italy just has not reached a paper strength. It seems that it should reach the height of the public¡¯s ideal, especially if they have a few Millwalls. The main player of the ruler for several years.


    After the game between Italy and South Korea ended, storms burst out.


    The official website of FIFA is paralyzed, which comes from more than 4 million complaint emails!


    Moreno has become the target of the referee.


    Coach Trapattoni shed tears of sadness and anger in the locker room.


    The Italian World Cup delegation denounced the referee''s arrogance, which is a shame at the World Cup.


    Italy shakes the whole country, Italian media wants to sue FIFA!


    The president of the Perugia club announced the dismissal of the Korean players in the team, and also An Zhenhuan who scored the winning golden ball in the 1/8 final!


    "Italy lost in the double struggle with the referee and the Korean team!"


    "June 18, 2002 became a column of shame for FIFA!"


    In addition to the endless criticism of the outside media, even Lao Bei, Berlusconi stood out and said in high profile: I can only say that this is a shameful thing!


    Italian generals also made their personal opinions unabashedly.


    Cannavaro claims that this is the biggest scandal in the history of the World Cup!


    Toldo said Italy was the victim of conspiracy.


    The wolf king Totti mocked: The referee''s performance was the same as I expected.


    Nesta was sentimental: our years of hard work were ruined.


    Blatter claimed for the first time after the game that he was satisfied with Moreno''s enforcement performance.


    ...


    The dust of the World Cup 1/8 finals is settled. There will be a two-day rest period after which the quarter-finals will begin.


    It was supposed that the quarter-finals prepared for the game with peace of mind. The fans also took a break to relive the aftertaste of the World Cup before the World Cup. However, as the South Korean team advanced and Italy was out, the outside world''s voice around the World Cup has become a bit tacit and somewhat unified. That is the main The referee''s enforcement, the promotion of the Korean team, is described as the cooperation of 12 "Koreans".


    Less than three days later, FIFA head Blatter changed his tone. In a separate interview with the Italian media, he apologized to Moreno instead of Moreno, claiming that there were law enforcement errors in the game.


    Blatter had to bow his head and had to apologize to Italy. Other Italian media suffered an intuitive economic loss because of Italy¡¯s exit. If it was eliminated normally, then there is nothing to say, but it was done in an abnormal way. Will Italy be willing to give up when it is out? So there was a fuse to sue FIFA.


    On this day, the quarter-finals kicked off. The England team''s game is tomorrow. Aldridge attended the pre-match press conference as usual. Compared with before, he is still more serious.


    But when answering questions, it becomes a lot easier.


    "Yes, we have two days more rest than Turkey. I wouldn¡¯t say it didn¡¯t give us an advantage, but I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a decisive factor in the game. Turkey has made history, and it¡¯s worth learning from England. We also have to create history. The consciousness and will of the top four may meet Brazil? Ha ha, I will not discuss this topic with you, that is obviously disrespect for Turkey."


    In fact, at this level, basically interviews before the game are all diplomatic rhetoric. Those who can affect the game, platoon formation, tactics, etc., the coach will not disclose, because it will be a double-edged sword, you want to disturb the enemy , May first disturb his team.


    Before the game, the press conference was set up step by step, and as the curtain came to an end, Aldridge was about to get up and leave. Some reporters asked "with bad intentions": "Mr. Hall, your last question. What is your opinion?"


    All the reporters at the meeting cheered up, and many people gave thumbs up to the reporters who asked questions: Good question!


    Aldridge is quite unscrupulous, why?


    He was supported by England behind him.


    What are FIFA''s fears in England?


    Really!


    Fleet Street!


    This is the European Press Center!


    Fleet Street is trying to make a lot of things happen, and there is really nothing they can''t do.


    For example, such a case of the goal line is suspended. It stands to reason that the German team has a reason to be inferior to England. They suffered a goal line suspension in England and lost a World Cup trophy. However, England just grabbed the Lampard incident. The England team is inferior to the German team in any way. It seems that England seems to be able to rewrite its destiny without misjudgment. The German team has picked up the cheap. England is aggrieved, and when the case is raised, England is victimized. In addition, Lampard is the protagonist, which is the influence of Fleet Street. As for the goal of the English homeland, who the **** remembers? England also proudly collected the goal in the football museum, complacent, and selling tickets for an exhibition.


    FIFA is now at the cusp of the storm, and many Italian fans all over the world have thrown their anger towards FIFA, and even the Portuguese fans who came before have joined in the fun.


    Because of the situation, Aldridge was handy, so he didn¡¯t mind speaking, he didn¡¯t mind burning a fire, it was messy anyway, no matter how chaotic, it doesn¡¯t matter, see if FIFA dare to let the incident escalate again and involve England.


    "Well, I watched the game. It was roughly the start of the match. The referee gave the South Korean team a penalty. The South Korean team did not score. Vieri scored. The South Korean team evened the score before the end of the game. Oh, Thomasi¡¯s The goal was blown invalid, it was a good ball, Totim was sent off inexplicably, the South Korean team finally killed the Italian team through the golden ball, um, a very tortuous game. I remember someone said that the World Cup was unpopular It will appear again, and he hopes that the prophet is right! It seems that in the Asian World Cup, the gap between the strength of Asian teams and the strength of traditional strong teams is really filled by a strange power It''s flat, but why has Saudi Arabia gone? China has gone? The host''s Japan has also gone? This is a strange phenomenon and worth pondering."


    Aldrich spoke, and the reporters were happy.


    grass!


    This **** is big news!


    Aldridge sarcastically, doesn''t he point directly at Blatter? Isn''t the spearhead aimed at FIFA?


    why?


    Whistle for Italy?


    Or a warning?


    Avoid similar things happening in England?


    "Mr. Hall, the Italian team claimed to have been persecuted, what do you think?"


    The atmosphere at the scene became active, and reporters scrambled to ask questions.


    Aldrich has a question and answer, saying: "Italy played four games, and three effective goals were blown away by the referee. Their anger and sadness, I can''t understand it, but I can imagine that I understand their voice. Or, if you change to another team, who can accept it calmly? Similar misjudgments continue to appear on the same team one after another, causing them to suffer losses, and even directly leave the World Cup, the highest stage of the football world. This is unbearable in the sport of football, and continuous misjudgments have made the same team profitable, coincidence? Misjudgments are part of football? If this makes sense, then let football go to hell! What? Is it the World Cup? It is the fans all over the world who have been waiting for four years, waiting for four years, hoping to see the best games, the best players, the best coaches, and the most fair and serious referee event, this The World Cup has already begun to be controversial, and will become countless fans who will not remember or rebuke when it becomes history..."


    Aldrich talked a lot about it. The reporters on the stage were holding voice recorders to record, or some people were struggling to write down the key points, and even more people nodded.


    But before he finished speaking, someone stood up angrily, interrupting Aldridge''s words and screamed: "Mr. Hall! As a world-class celebrity, you say these irresponsible remarks, too You have lost your identity! You are openly slandering and slandering the Republic of Korea!"


    Aldrich''s face changed, and his brow coldly said, "What is my identity? It has nothing to do with you, but you interrupt me, you lack ethics! Defamation? Defamation? The FIFA President has apologized to Italy this morning and admitted After many misjudgments by the referee team, what did I scorn? What did I say wrong?"


    "The referee is the referee, the Korean team is the Korean team, the promotion of the Korean team is created by our Korean team through hard work!"


    "Don¡¯t make people laugh! The efforts of the Korean team? If you can work hard to create a miracle, there will be no difference between genius and stupidity in the world! Without the referee¡¯s misjudgment, Tomasi¡¯s goal has already killed the game. Where does the Korean team work hard?"


    "That''s the referee''s problem!"


    "Hear your ears and steal bells? Koreans, amazing!"


    Aldridge sneered and gave a thumbs-up to the man whose Asian face looks like a Korean reporter.


    The reporters who had nothing to do with the scene were very excited and screamed: Don¡¯t counsel, don¡¯t counsel, don¡¯t counsel!


    They hoped that the South Korean reporter would fight the young master again.


    The South Korean reporter did not disappoint everyone. He sneered when he saw Aldridge: "Mr. Hall, with your speech and attitude, you can see that you have obvious prejudices against South Korea, even if you are in Europe. Enjoy great fame, and no one will welcome you in Korea in the future."


    Aldrich stood up, spread his hands, and smiled: "It seems that in the eyes of you Koreans, like me, a world-class celebrity, a person with great reputation in Europe, should be fraternity, should be popular What makes everyone like it? Tell you, my name is Aldrich Hall, Koreans don¡¯t welcome me? Haha, I¡¯ve never liked South Korea, and I even hate the arrogance that you don¡¯t know where it came from. With this disgusting vanity, the South Korean team won¡¯t sell well when it got cheap! Don¡¯t be embarrassing here! You have made history and entered the quarter-finals. You should find a place where no one can secretly celebrate. What is arguing with me here? What is arguing? Is it to count with me, how many Koreans behind you support your theoretical basis, or how many people behind me more objectively and fairly evaluate the promotion of the Korean team? Korea does not Welcome me? Threate me? Idiot ah you! How can you understand what the World Cup means to a player? How can you understand what Nesta said: What does it mean after years of hard work? You have used shameful acts to kill others Everything you have worked hard for, you have stolen everything that others should deserve! You should also be here with a bright face and proudly say what the Republic of Korea and what efforts, once every four years, the greatest game in the football world, the best stage, has Defiled by you! Shameful!"


    Aldridge, who was originally smiling, turned into an angry roar in the end!


    The South Korean reporter was dumbfounded. At the same time, an Italian reporter took the lead in standing up. He applauded desperately while turning his head to look at the South Korean reporter with an angry look.


    Other European journalists also got up and applauded at the scene. Even after Aldridge turned away, the applause continued.

 Chapter 849： Threatening? Slap!

    Misjudgment is a part of football. It is undeniable that the referee is a person, not a machine that has no omissions and monitoring of the stadium from all angles.


    In many contests in the past, there have been controversial penalties, but basically all belong to the judgment in a flash.


    In the 66-year-old case in England, even if you look at the video now, it is difficult for you to make the most correct judgment. This is controversial, but it has its reasonableness, because no party has absolute evidence to overturn the referee''s penalty.


    The hand of God in Maradona in 1986, of course, was very clear to watch the video, but the referee did not see it at the time. There were also reasons for the misjudgment due to his position and angle.


    In the 90-year finals, Waller''s fall was a misjudgment, but in the same way, players won a favorable penalty for a fall, which has become one of the difficult problems for the referee to decide.


    But like in this World Cup, Italy alone had 3 effective goals that were invalidated. Can Italy not say this is a conspiracy?


    In addition, Totti was sentenced to a false fall. Even if Moreno did not see Totti¡¯s physical contact with South Korean players, he should consider that the player¡¯s physical fitness is nearly exhausted in overtime. He is more like a premeditated Italian player waiting for a chance. After being sent off, the party Totti said that he expected the latter from the pre-match referee''s attitude towards South Korean players and Italian players. Although there was a suspicion of justification, it was not unreasonable.


    In the match between the South Korean team and Portugal, the referee has different punishment scales and double standards, which can be seen all over the world.


    The South Korean team is stronger than before, has made tremendous progress, while fighting at home, with a terrible home atmosphere, but this does not mean that they must win. Strength is strength. Whether the game is fair and fair is completely different.


    Just as if the Chinese team was treated differently and suffered a bloodbath in the match between the Chinese team and the Brazilian team, can it be said that the Brazilian team is strong, so can it ignore the impartiality of the referee''s penalty?


    Moreover, the South Korean team itself is not a team that absolutely crushes Portugal and Italy.


    The World Cup of Korea and Japan reached the top 8, and the controversy caused widespread concern, which is enough to make this World Cup image very disgraceful, because the foundation of football is shaken: fair!


    As we go further, there is a spirit of fair competition sports that is universal.


    Aldrich reprimanded South Korean reporters at the pre-match press conference and even told the world that he hated South Korea and insulted South Korea shamefully. This undoubtedly caused public anger. In detail, it should be the anger of a country!


    But European media are all on Aldrich''s side!


    The coaches of other national teams all have a bit of meaning in their tails. Even for the Spanish team who is about to encounter the South Korean team, coach Camacho dare not talk about the South Korean team irresponsibly. It seems that he is afraid of anything.


    However, Aldridge just said, and from the perspective of the schedule, if the England team will encounter the South Korean team, either, the final, or, the third or fourth finals.


    This seems impossible.


    Everything that happened at the press conference became emergency news and began to be broadcast around the world.


    Fleet Street, of course, sang praises for Aldridge. He thought that the young commander was right and wrong, he dared to act, and seemed smart.


    Aldrich said more straightforwardly, then, if the England game suffered a misjudgment, or the referee''s tendency to persecute, huh, isn''t FIFA lifting a stone and hitting his own foot?


    Doesn''t it tell the world that they are controlling the game? Whoever dares to be dissatisfied, they will die!


    Even if FIFA is brave enough, I am afraid to do so.


    It''s just that Aldridge stepped up to speak out, and it seemed a bit expensive.


    South Korea naturally broadcast this breaking news nationwide.


    Aldridge and the England team instantly became public enemies in South Korea.


    In the World Cup Organizing Committee, South Korean representative Zheng Mengzhun publicly rebuked Audridge for slandering South Korea and warned him to close his mouth.


    Aldridge''s reply to the Fleet Street reporter for the first time was: Long mouth, whose mouth can you stop?


    Blatter unilaterally warned the FA to allow the FA to restrict Audridge''s words and deeds.


    The FA has some dilemmas. On the one hand, they feel that Aldridge may really have "great wisdom" to do so. In this way, the game in England must be extremely fair, and no one dares to kill England, because Aldridge uses his football circle. The fame and news of the explosion have spread all over the world. Fans all over the world are paying attention to the next game in England. If England is really persecuted by FIFA, it is estimated that angry fans around the world will go to tear down FIFA, and Bra This particular leadership team will also have no credibility.


    On the other hand, the FA also feels that Aldridge¡¯s remarks have caused the relationship between England and South Korea to deteriorate rapidly. The South Korean people have already gathered to protest and demand that all South Korean companies, but whoever invests in English football, must divest!


    The English Premier League team involved here, as well as the England national team, the sponsor cooperation is linked to economic interests.


    The Football Association was in a dilemma. Instead of talking to Aldridge, Aldridge got the news and said directly: "I am a football coach. I love football and work in this industry. I have a lot of football industry. Friends, but there is a kind of person that I hate. Even conversations and conversations make me sick, that is, brokers in the football circle. These people should not bother me. And Mr. Zheng Mengzhun, I don¡¯t care how high you are in Korea. Don¡¯t use sponsors to threaten me. Korean companies are asking Millwall to sign a contract and begging us to be our sponsors. Now they want to get out of business? Hurry up! Use money to threaten me? This is what I encountered The most idiot''s threatening means!"


    Aldridge remained angry.


    Because Adam told him that among the more than 50 sponsor partners of Milwalla, two representatives from Korean companies gave them an ultimatum and unabashedly said that he would let Aldridge converge his words and deeds in Asia.


    Aldridge felt a bunch of idiots.


    Those Korean companies who came to be Millwall sponsors nominally sent money to Millwall. In fact, they wanted to use Millwall''s brand value to promote their companies to enter the international stage. To take a step back, it was also to explore the European market.


    It should be their begging Millwall, not Millwall treating them as guests, this relationship is not clear, thinking that rich is the uncle, if you can be an uncle, if you have money, you can give orders, Aldridge wants to use it Money humiliated them.


    In addition to being the vice-chairman of FIFA, Zheng Mengzhun is also a wealthy child of South Korea¡¯s Hyundai Group. He has good contacts in both political and business circles in South Korea. This is his counterattack to Audridge.


    Aldrich doesn''t mind that Korean companies want to divest, and he is not uncommon.


    There will be other sponsors lined up to seek cooperation with Millwall.


    In this world, it''s not that Korea can''t move without it!


    As for the chairman of Blatter, such a person as Vice Chairman Zheng Mengzhun, Aldridge disgusted in his heart.


    No one is a saint, but after all, there are still some positions and ethics.


    Although Blatter¡¯s predecessor, Avilenge, has a bad reputation, and money and hands and feet are not clean, but Avilenge is a person who knows the ball and loves football, so as a Brazilian, he can award Mr. World Football To the enemy of Brazil: Maradona of Argentina, even if Maradona does not appreciate it, is famous for fighting against FIFA, but Avilange''s position and ethics on this point are worthy of recognition.


    But people like Blatter, Zheng Mengzhun, and full of politicians, even for the sake of economic or political interests, even hesitate to destroy football, which is unbearable for everyone who loves football.


    The European media is in the same position as the enemy, and on the side of the young commander, when it comes to the influence of the world, it is naturally that the European influence is better. Moreover, after the Italian game, the media on the American side simply blamed the lack of justice in the game. Sexual foundation.


    The media influence of the United States is naturally as strong as that of Europe, and American football is more like entertainment. Therefore, in the news reports of the football circle, the United States appears to be unscrupulous. This unscrupulousness stems from not being interested in football politics, and people treat it as entertainment. However, the European football media still has interest considerations. If this time it was not for the World Cup that angered the Europeans, if Aldridge started a war with South Korea, the European media might not be able to give him a strong reputation.


    In the process of the rapid spread of news, Aldridge''s reputation naturally soared again. This rise is not linked to the professional field. The handsomeness of the young commander in the past is mostly based on the record of the stadium, but now, his personal image is more specific and love. Hate is clear, and not afraid of breaking through the sky.


    Not only angered South Korea, but also slapped Zheng Mengzhun!


    Europeans clap their hands and say fast, and in Asia, the Japanese feel the most happy.


    Originally, the World Cup was held by Japan alone. It was just Zheng Mengzhun who kicked it in. He also made some demonstrations to Japan. The Japanese were already unhappy with Zheng Mengzhun.


    The Japanese team is out, and the England team continues to play in the Japanese division. Next, the England team obviously increased a group of fans, that is, local Japanese fans.


    FIFA and South Korea cannot make any substantial retaliation against Aldridge, banned? Why? How many people in the world of football are discussing World Cup controversy. If FIFA punishes Audridge, is it not going to be bloodshed? FIFA dared to move Aldridge. It really broke the European sky. When the sky collapsed, a Blatter and a Zheng Mengzhun were probably not enough to bury.


    In the process of this turmoil and escalation, the World Cup quarter-finals opened.


    The first to appear are Brazil and Sweden.


    Coming to the quarterfinals, the Brazilian team is obviously more stable, but it also changed the momentum of the crazy attack in the group stage. Compared with the ease of defeating Belgium, the Swedish team tried their best to fight the ultimate anti-reverse, and the Brazilian team was also deeply worried. After a few utilitarian signs, he finally won the game 2-1 and took the lead to advance to the semifinals.


    After the game, the number one star of the Swedish team, Larson, who was over 30 years old, suddenly announced his withdrawal from the Swedish national team!

 Chapter 850： Thieves are brave!

    "My mission has been completed and will not continue."


    "I have considered this issue for some time, and now I have decided to put the family first, and it is very uncomfortable for me to leave home for too long."


    Larson announced his decision after the game and withdrew from the national team!


    Failing to withstand the crushing of the Samba Corps, Larson is as painful as every Swedish player and fan, but the reality is ruthless.


    If anyone knows Larson''s decision first, it should be Aldridge. As early as last season, Larson disclosed this decision to him.


    His words were half-truths and it was appropriate to put the family first, and for the same reason that Aldridge intended to leave the position of head coach, Larson now has two children.


    But the other half is that Larson wants to contribute to the club better at the end of his career.


    His age forced him to no longer consider the excellent state of the national team and the club. Lawton was a real problem that could not be ignored. Millwall was focused on the combination of work and rest in player management, and Vieira of Arsenal, after a season, Although the club is not as good as Millwall, Vieira represented the club and the national team and played more than 80 games in one season. It is conceivable that he will be tired when he comes to the World Cup. On the contrary, Ronaldinho In the World Cup, there are alive and well.


    No matter how reasonable a player''s physical fitness is, it never exceeds the physical impact of the player''s age.


    Larson announced his withdrawal from the national team. After the news came out, the entire Swedish football industry was shaken. Millwall was applauded by many fans.


    The Swedish coach, players, all retained Larsen, but could not shake his determination to withdraw from the national team, this matter even the UEFA president was alarmed.


    Why?


    UEFA President Johansson is a Swede. Of course, he does not want to see Larsen, the number one star of the Swedish team, leave the national team.


    While Johansson called Larson directly to persuade him to withdraw his decision to withdraw, Larson still did not shake his will.


    As a last resort, Johansson called Aldridge here, hoping that Aldridge could persuade Larson, although he did not report much expectations, because Larson withdrew from the national team, it must be Millwall.


    "Sir, Henrik''s important decision, I agree with your position, and I hope he can play for the Swedish team for a few more years, at least, for another contest."


    "Huh? Aldrich, do you really think so?"


    "Yes, I will call Henrik later. I try to communicate with him and try to persuade him to stay in the Swedish national team."


    "Okay, okay, thank you very much!"


    "He is my player, this is my duty."


    After the telephone conversation with Johansson ended, Aldridge called Larson immediately.


    The Swedish team is ready to return to the country at the airport, Larson was a little surprised.


    "Boss?"


    "I just spoke with Johansson by phone."


    "He asked you to persuade me?"


    "No, I think he was right, Henrik, you should stay with the Swedish team."


    "Why? I understand my physical condition. I hope to dedicate myself to Millwall in the last few years of my career."


    "I understand. But this is not fair to you."


    "No, Millwall gave me everything. Now is the time for me to return to the club."


    "Don¡¯t say that, you don¡¯t owe anything to Millwall, on the contrary, I don¡¯t want Millwall to be a prisoner that binds you, you make me proud, and countless Millwall fans proud, you are already a club legend, without you, There is no dazzling achievement and glory in the past, so you should stay with the Swedish team."


    "why?"


    "Because that will make you greater in the eyes of your fellow Swedish!"


    ...


    Larsen failed to retire from the Swedish national team after all. In addition to the persuasion of club coach Audridge, UEFA president Johansson, the Swedish coach and players, there are Swedish prime ministers and all Swedish fans calling on him to stay In the end, these people seemed to be difficult to impress Larson. Instead, it was his son who made Larson decide to continue to wear the national team''s robe for the country. The goal is towards the 2004 European Cup.


    ...


    After Brazil advanced to the semifinals, Germany and the United States played another game that made the German media worry.


    The German team, which is full of mistakes in the offensive and defensive system, cannot be said to have no advantage, but the American team looks more fierce. Ballack''s goal helped the German team defeat the American team 1-0.


    However, the focus after the game is still Kahn, Kahn, the great Lion King Kahn!


    Without Kahn, the German team may not be able to reach the semi-finals. Without Kahn, the German team may have gone home.


    Beckenbauer said bluntly after the game: the United States team performed better, the German team was very lucky, and the United States deserved a penalty.


    It was Frings who blocked the opponent''s shot with his hand on the goal line, but the referee did not award a penalty and Bayer thought it should be a penalty.


    In the field of football, Beckenbauer''s ambition is admirable, seeking truth from facts, right and wrong, right and wrong positions are fair and objective.


    The German media is still criticizing the German team. Although the team has entered the semi-finals, the German media cannot be satisfied with the team. Since the group victory over Saudi Arabia, such criticism and dissatisfaction have always revolved around the German team.


    The next day, the English team went to Osaka, and they returned to the stadium they had fought: Osaka Nagai Stadium.


    This is good news for the England team. They have two days more rest than Turkey, and the playing field is more familiar than the other side. At the same time, the atmosphere of the stadium, with the support of Japanese fans to join, overshadowed Turkey in momentum.


    Their game was the final of the quarter-finals and was played in the evening.


    In the afternoon, another highly anticipated quarter-final was played at the Gwangju World Cup Stadium in South Korea.


    South Korea vs. Spain.


    Since the Portuguese team and the South Korean team met in the group stage, the World Cup has really deviated from the normal track from the smell!


    This game finally put the World Cup of Korea and Japan into the abyss of history in the historical position, second only to the 34-year Italian "dictatorship" World Cup and 36-year "tyrant" Olympics, this World Cup has become the sorrow of the sport of football It is extremely disgraceful, and the South Korean team has historically reached the semi-finals, setting the best record for the Asian team¡¯s World Cup. Perhaps, only the Koreans are proud of themselves. Who in the other Asian countries will admit to the Korean team? What about football status?


    The Spanish team was blown away with two good shots, and two anti-offside single-shots were blown offside. The bright and grand robbery became more and more unscrupulous and more blatant!


    The Spanish team fell to the penalty shootout. After the game, the referee immediately fled the court. The Spanish general Elgra tried to beat the referee but was stopped by his teammates.


    At that moment, except that over 4 million people in South Korea took to the streets to dye the red of South Korea, the whole of Europe was completely angry!


    Someone had been talking about political sacrifices before. That¡¯s just speculation. Now, no one doubts that this World Cup is full of dirty and ugly political games. The victims are players who really love football. Players defending the honor of the national team!


    In this game, the opponents are Europe represented by UEFA, as well as a group formed by FIFA and AFC.


    The conflict between UEFA and FIFA has been around for a long time. This is a political pattern that has long been formed in the football circle. The strategy of FIFA to suppress Europe is to attract other allies. So the World Cup came to Asia for the first time, so Portugal first left. Italy has left, and now Spain has left, and it is the Asian seedlings, the host Taijihu South Korea, who replaced them.


    When the doubt came for the first time, we naively thought it was an accidental mistake; when the doubt came for the second time, we carefully frowned and began to speculate; when the doubt came for the third time, we can no longer extinguish the fire of conscience!


    In 2002, the World Cup was held for the first time in Asia. Portugal was sent off two people in one game and had to play nine; Italy has been the referee in the four games in total, and the referee has blown out three. "Legal" goal, Totti was sentenced to a false fall and sent a red card in the last overtime match; Spain scored a reasonable goal in the second half and was fouled. The overtime golden ball was ruled as "out of bounds" by the referee and counter-offside Success is ruled offside!


    Elgra was still furious in an interview after the game: "If it was a penalty penalty to Ireland that day, I have nothing to say. Ireland played very well that day, but today I lost to South Korea. I feel unwilling because they played It¡¯s not good, but the referee doesn¡¯t allow us to win the game. I think it¡¯s a shame. Now I just want to scold people, scolding the dirty words. The most unbearable thing is that we lost to such an opponent. They have no strength. But by relying on the referee to reach the semi-finals, I won Italy and won us. I now very much agree with one of my most respected head coaches, that is, what the English national team coach Mr. Odrich Hall said, South Korea has been tainted The World Cup is so shameful!"


    Only three things!


    FIFA and South Korea are really doing things!


    They gave Korea a miracle, a miracle belonging to Asia, but it angered the whole of Europe!


    Needless to say, the Spanish media spoke out against FIFA in unison, and Blatter had to stand up and admit that the referee had made a major mistake in the enforcement of the referee.


    Who the **** are you going to do?


    The referee is no longer human, and has almost become the ancestor of South Korea. Treat South Korea as his son!


    Once, twice, three times, the three European powerhouses went home, and the successive profits were all from the Korean team. The referees in these three games were all coincidences. Not only did they make mistakes, but they also injured the strong European teams. The Korean team won. Profit, the referee plus the sidecut, how high is this probability? All of them let the South Korean team run into it. Why has the South Korean team not yet conquered all humanity?


    Spanish fans collectively issued a slogan of protest: the robbery in broad daylight!


    Marca: Football is stifled in South Korea!


    Barcelona "Pioneer": South Korea makes history by referees!


    German media: Another ruling was sent to Spain!


    Brazilian media: South Korea is the biggest beneficiary!


    European media mainstream voice: Spain is a victim of conspiracy.


    Even for the Asian media, in addition to South Korea, the media of other countries expressed their worries and worries.


    The South Korean team created a miracle and inspired the hearts of the Korean nation.


    However, this miracle is based on the challenge of the "European nobility", the leader of the football world. Some people worry that South Korea is digging graves for Asian football!


    Why?


    The World Cup is not held in Asia every time.


    You don¡¯t even have a face today to kill the European seed team in a fair and honest way. Do you think that the ¡°European nobles¡± will be able to see Asian football?


    The next time you go to the European site, people play this set is not more perfect than you play? How could it be as stormy as you are?


    You are just kidding, and this will affect the entire Asian football.


    No, the chairman of the next World Cup Organizing Committee, the German football emperor Beckenbauer spoke directly after the Korean team won the game.


    "Germany will pay close attention to the justice of the enforcement of the referee team in the next game!"


    Why?


    The next Korean team will play Germany!


    Korea, do you dare to continue to be shameless?

 Chapter 851： Wonderful Xingyue Legion

    The match between Spain vs South Korea is settled. The first thing reporters do after the interview is to go to Japan. Everyone wants to interview Aldridge, whether England can beat Turkey.


    In addition to cursing England for being planted at the feet of Turkey, South Korea began to stir-fry the cold rice, turning out Rooney''s merry and infamous in Tokyo, trying to discredit England''s image.


    This incident made the European media extremely despise, and not to mention that in Europe, prostitution is legal in many places. The England team did not recognize Rooney as a prostitute from the beginning. The two Oriental girls on the other side of Japan knew it was a crime. How can you admit it yourself? When they sold the story to reporters, they claimed that they fell in love with the tall and majestic Lu Xiaofan, and ONS happened.


    The players in the England team admired Aldridge.


    According to normal thinking, the more big-name stars, the more fraternity, will not erect the enemy, will not damage their image, but Aldridge is so love and hatred, and dare to be public, he is in England What he said, hated Leeds United, he said it. He felt that the gang was too rough and he did not show mercy. When he came to the World Cup, he had nothing to do with England. He still dared to express his views and would not follow the trend.


    This courage made him Aldridge like a pure man in the minds of the players, very domineering.


    In particular, insulting Zheng Mengzhun by name, and letting Korean companies get out of it, perhaps Italian and Spanish fans feel very popular, but English fans and players have only one word of emotion: Niu.


    Aldrich himself was not proud of fighting against South Korea. On the contrary, before facing the life-and-death battle with the Xingyue Legion today, he was calm and helpless.


    The player may not see it, but Jenson, who has worked with him for many years, noticed it for the first time.


    When the players warmed up in the Osaka Nagai Stadium, Aldridge sat in the locker room, and Jenson stayed and asked curiously, "Do you have any concerns? Is it related to the game?"


    Jenson was worried that something other than football was bothering Aldridge.


    In fact, Aldridge has no confusion, but a simple helplessness.


    He smiled bitterly: "There are some things in my mind, and I feel that my past work is in vain."


    "Ok?"


    "Turkey, every game is different."


    Jenson suddenly realized, and Aldridge sighed again.


    He did a lot of homework before the World Cup, worked around the clock, and was able to come in handy. It would be worth the hard work, such as studying Sweden, Argentina, Nigeria.


    If the opponents who can''t meet have studied in advance, there won''t be too much loss, be prepared.


    Opponents who had made preparations for the research work in front of them appeared in front of them, but found that their preparations were useless, which was a bit of a hit.


    The situation in Turkey is a bit weird. It is reasonable and unexpected.


    The current Turkish coach Gunes (Gunes) has been controversial since he took office two years ago. Turkish domestic criticism has been endless. Some people think that Gunes, who is a goalkeeper, cannot be the coach of the Xingyue Army. Some people say that he is not enough. The Turkish emperor Trim was bold and confident, and he did not have the gentleness of Dennis. Obviously, he lacked charisma. Some even accused him of being a "backdoor" to become the national team coach.


    Such a coach, the pressure can be imagined.


    Therefore, when Turkey was robbed by Sweden in the world preliminaries and was going to play in the qualifying play-offs, the domestic criticism of Turkey was overwhelming.


    Then, when faced with Austria, Gunes boldly changed positions, swept Austria with six goals and finally led Turkey to the World Cup after an interval of 48 years!


    Coming to the World Cup, the Turkish group stage defeated Brazil first, and then drew Costa Rica. The group hung out, so Gunesh''s confidence crisis came again!


    When playing Costa Rica, he had already changed his position. Finally, he abused the Chinese team and relied on Brazil to break the Costa Rica with little obvious water to get the qualification to enter the top 16.


    Why does Aldridge feel a waste of previous work?


    It is normal for a team to face adversity, change tactics, and change formations. It is reasonable.


    Where is it unexpected?


    Gunes, this guy, has a different starting formation in almost every World Cup. Although the meaning of the formation itself is not particularly conspicuous, it is obvious that Turkey''s style of play has changed. Even the details are worthy of attention.


    In the group stage, Turkey used 442, 4231, and when playing Japan, Turkey used 4321.


    Basically, world-class strong teams will not change so frequently on the stage of the World Cup, because a change in details may lead to a total collapse.


    Few teams adjust at the World Cup unless the opponent is extremely strong and makes targeted changes.


    And like Brazil, even if it is adjusted all the way, it is only the specific position of the personnel adjustment, using the most appropriate parts, without changing the large frame, 343 rolled over all the way, the other strong teams are basically the same.


    Because of the adjustments, the core part of the tactical system should be stable before the World Cup begins.


    Gunes changed from time to time, but it had an unexpected taste.


    Most of Aldrich''s previous work can be thrown into the trash. The qualifiers observe the technical and tactical characteristics of Turkey, and there have been very big changes now.


    Moreover, Aldridge is also not sure whether Gunes will still change when he plays England today.


    If he dares to change, he will be crazy!


    Really regard the World Cup as a display of the coach''s personal platoon formation?


    But to be honest, he can''t draw conclusions about the effects. He lost to Brazil in the group stage and drew Costa Rica. He can use defeat as the conclusion and win China. What persuasive power? The knockout game kicked the host Japan out of the game. It also relied on a corner kick, which was a static positioning ball. It had little to do with the offensive and defensive system of sports.


    Jenson patted his shoulder as a comfort.


    Isn¡¯t it comforting yourself?


    He also has a job to collect intelligence, analyze opponent information, and list key tasks.


    In this situation, the two could only smile at each other.


    After the players warmed up, Aldridge got up and left without saying much. He stayed in the locker room, just to ensure that no players felt uncomfortable or injured during the warm-up before the game. If there was an accident, he would change. The starting list, after all, from the dressing room to the field, such a short distance, the probability of an accident is very small.


    After coming to the field, Aldridge was attracted by the deafening cheering in the stadium. He looked around the stadium stands. Although Turkish fans have also come a lot, they are obviously not as good as fans in England.


    Gunes shook hands with Aldridge because Gunes had been in continuous change and Turkey reached the quarter-finals. Gunes became a master of tactics, at least the outside world was so touted.


    This game became Aldridge''s contest with another "tactical master".


    The outside world expects England and Turkey to break the content of the game predicted by the outside world and come up with something new.


    This is difficult for some strongmen.


    Even Brazil has become cautious when it reaches the quarter-finals. How can other teams have the courage to play new tricks, it is not fun to mess up, then say goodbye to the World Cup!


    After all, after winning the quarterfinals, there will be two games behind, either to compete for the championship or to compete for the third place.


    Players from both sides enter.


    "The final game of the World Cup quarter-finals will be staged at the Nagai Stadium in Osaka, England vs Turkey. The winner of this game will meet Brazil¡¯s Saitama World Cup Stadium in the semi-finals. Brazil has the advantage of one more day off and the Brazil team It is very powerful in itself. In any case, if the England team can win Turkey today, Hall¡¯s Three Lions will make all England proud and proud. The best result of the England team in the history of the World Cup is the 66-year local championship. Next, It was the fourth place in the World Cup 12 years ago, so if the England team wins today, Hall¡¯s Three Lions will at least tie the second best result of the England World Cup and become the top three team in English history. ."


    "Every step of Turkey will make history. They will not be able to catch it today. What makes me wonder is the coach Gunes. He has different platoons in each game, making it difficult for opponents to predict their advances. The formation style, is this a strange move? Will it cause trouble for the England team?"


    "It''s hard to say, but I don''t think the current England team will be afraid of the opponent, nor will it panic because of the opponent''s new formation. In the past four games, the England team has been getting better and more stable. The boys Confident and full of understanding on the court. They look like they can¡¯t be beaten. In four games, we only lost one ball. What about Turkey? They lost five, especially four by the Brazilian team."


    "Let''s take a closer look at Turkey''s game posture after the game starts. Now we will introduce the starting list of both sides.


    England 4321.


    Goalkeeper: Seaman.


    Guards: Phil Neville, Ferdinand, Southgate, Ashley Cole.


    Midfielder: Beckham, Bart, Lampard.


    Front waist: McManaman, Scholes.


    Forward: Owen.


    Turkey, 352? Well, yes, their starter was 352 today.


    Goalkeeper: Rustu.


    Guards: Fatih, Alpe, Brent.


    Midfielders: Davala, Basturk, Tugui, Emre, and Ergun.


    Forwards: Hakan Suk, Sass.


    In the end, it is really 352 or 532. We only observed it during the game. I expected Turkey to use a 3-guard defensive system. As mentioned earlier, Hall''s record against the three-guard team is a victory! "


    Aldrich watched Turkey''s starters one by one, and after the opponents roughly stood before the kick-off, they couldn''t help but reach out and touch their foreheads.


    Fortunately, he did not predict Turkey''s starting players and formation.


    The characteristics of the Turkish roster players, roughly the best position on the field, he knows.


    Combined with the basic information, he has guessed that Turkey is determined to hit 352.


    The double forward is because it is not possible to attack in the knockout game. If the single forward is at least a world-class player, for example, the England team has a world-class shooter Irving, even if it is a pure shooter, but only speed, running position, shooting Of these three, Irving is world-class, but Turkey does not.


    As a result, the rear platoons formed, and they fell into the same situation as Senegal.


    After Senegal''s defeat, the outside world made a severe attack on Mechu''s formation, arguing that his guard 5 guard was a failure, giving the England team a strong midfield advantage.


    Gunes learned the lessons from Senegal''s game and hoarded heavy soldiers in the midfield.


    Although Argentina is also a 3 defender, Gunes thought of the 3 defender he played, but the midfield system is quite different, two more than Argentina''s midfield!


    He believes that the three guards can star Owen, and the five midfielders can compete with England''s midfield control.


    How the game will develop, Aldridge will not rashly conclude, everything, have to wait for the kick-off, and observe specifically.


    The most important thing is the attitude of Turkey.


    If they are frivolous, the England team may encounter the biggest difficulties since the World Cup.


    But if they have the determination and will to fight, Aldridge does not worry about it, and does not care about how the other team is placed.


    At the beginning of the game, both sides have a slow rhythm. There is only one ticket left in the semi-finals, and both parties take prudence first!

 Chapter 852： The general is dedicated to climbing the peak

    In fact, in the four games played since the World Cup, in addition to determining the match with Nigeria after the qualifying in advance, in the other three games, Aldridge''s adjustment of the team is on the offensive, which is to counter the routine and use it. McManaman made the England team''s counterattack hit a magical effect.


    But for the defense, he basically did not even make an adjustment. It can be said what the defensive system of England in the second half of the World Preliminaries is and what it will be like in the World Cup.


    Because they are defensive in their own right, when designing this system, they have done their best to increase the fault tolerance rate to the highest level.


    So there is no need for England to predict what formation the opponent is playing and how the technical and tactical system works.


    This is the advantage of defensive footing. The post-control, no matter who the opponent is and how the offense changes, the England team will post-control, as if the two armies are fighting, one side will first put out a shield array, and then the shield will be removed when the other side fails to rush. Crazy counterattack.


    The stability that England praised by the outside world is here: I¡¯m still moving from east to west, north and south.


    But there is also a lot of criticism. Modern football encourages offensive. England''s style of "beating first and fighting back" is really disgusting!


    Difficult to defend and easy to defend, the normal state of the football field, especially the active attacking side always bears a higher defensive risk, so the philosophy of Italian football has been criticized by many people as negative football, anti-football, the same is true for England, even if it leaves In the World Cup, Argentina still has a lot of voices to support Bielsa''s offensive football of "do not attack but die".


    Gunes put out a double forward today, and after the game started, the two forwards'' active area, the task of the game, is indeed a positive Indian striker, which makes Odridge happy.


    It can be seen that Turkey has an idea about the game, and there is no such idea of ??dragging overtime and then penalties against England.


    Otherwise, Gunes will never play double forwards, will add a defender, or another midfielder, against England with the same absolute defensive posture.


    The English players on the field have thoroughly integrated the philosophy that Aldridge instilled in them, rather than just theoretical understanding, which is used in the game and is easy to understand.


    Defence is the foundation. After a successful defense, the catching rhythm is poor. Fighting the opponent to counterattack, first of all is the grasp of the fighter. The fire has reached a satisfactory level, followed by the teamwork of the counterattack, methodical, and rarely see the player being attacked again. The panic picture was displayed during the close fight, which further improved the success rate of their team''s pass. In the game statistics, if not counting the match with Nigeria, the England team averaged a pass in the other three games. The highest rate among all participating teams in this World Cup!


    Turkey is still very afraid of England¡¯s counterattacks since the opening. The offensive formation did not dare to over-press. Although it was 352, it was more like 532 in the first 20 minutes. The two sides of the midfield were basically afraid to assist. Turk and Emre moved forward in the midfield, then double forwards interspersed the running position to find opportunities.


    There are only four people on it, it is really difficult to shake the England team''s defense, not even a reliable shot, and once the England team''s defense is successful, Turkey''s formation immediately shrinks, marking the first time in the midfield and backcourt.


    Why is it that England''s offense and defense are well balanced?


    Because they will not counterattack blindly, they will not counterattack in the first time after the defense is successful. This is a global rhythm control, based on the observation of the game situation, the embodiment of the reading ability of the game.


    The teammates in the frontcourt did not run into place, did not have enough free time, and rushed to counterattack. Instead, they might be caught by opponents to counterattack opportunities. Therefore, when the Turkish spirit is tight and the defense is not troubled, the England team is not in a hurry. Be quick and organize your offense slowly. Even if Turkey¡¯s overall formation is tightly defended in the midfield and backcourt, the English team is not confused or helpless. When the situation stabilizes, the attack is clean and clean, and it is successful. , Will not give the opponent a good chance to fight back.


    The regular game time is 90 minutes. These 90 minutes, in addition to team skills and tactics, as well as team mentality, the stronger the stronger, the more calm and patient.


    Like Aldridge standing on the sidelines, from his expression, he can''t see any psychological fluctuations. The team''s defense and offense can hardly make him move.


    Gunes, after 30 minutes, seemed to be unable to sit still.


    The style of play of the England team makes its opponents somewhat daunted, because when the England team exerts force, it is unpredictable, and Turkey¡¯s paper strength is weaker, it needs to pay more physical energy to make up, just like the England team is only defensively successful and stable With the ball under control, the offense has not yet been launched. Turkey¡¯s midfielder has already ran to the backcourt with his legs. Players who did not participate in the attack in the backcourt also sounded the alarm and observed the position of the frontcourt players in England. Move quickly to lay out defense lines.


    It must be said that there is a character in the England team that cannot be ignored by any opponent.


    Aldrich Hall!


    Gunes wondered what tactical instructions Aldridge would give England.


    England is not fast, is it killing Turkey?


    England itself has a physical advantage. The main players on the field play one game less than the players in Turkey. They rest for another two days. The first half consumes some, and the second half fully exerts force to attack. This is a very normal tactic. Ideas.


    In addition to this, Gunes also wondered if Aldridge would have any hidden killer skills. Like playing Argentina, an Ashley Cole, who seemed to be born, became the best in the game, and his opponent was caught off guard. !


    In any case, Turkey''s fate is very passive.


    Gunes turned his head frequently to observe Aldridge. It seemed that he wanted to see a hint from the young master¡¯s expression. In the 31st minute of the game, his eyes widened suddenly, and Aldridge took the opportunity of a dead ball to call Beckham in front of him. , What a serious command.


    What would you say?


    Gune even wished to cover his eyes and sneak to Aldridge to eavesdrop.


    Aldridge just feels that Turkey''s overall offensive and defensive performance is good today, which means that the opponent''s defense is balanced and tight in the midfield and backcourt.


    He began to use some of the well-established court command techniques to see what effect he could have.


    Beckham nodded his head after listening carefully, and found a chance to speak with McManaman in the court.


    McManaman smiled after hearing the words.


    His reaction surprised Beckham slightly.


    If the whole England team competes in this World Cup, who is the most relaxed team? It was McManaman.


    In the past, he was a spicy brother, like a young brother in a raging horse, very prestige, but in the football circle, he was unhappy, now he converges off the court, instead he relaxes on the court and is plugged by Aldridge A pair of winged curly dogs, swimming in the field, the scenery is infinite!


    In the quarter-finals, what an intense game, McManaman looked a little bit, a bit cynical.


    He just heard Beckham conveying Aldridge''s tactical instructions, and he was sentimental and smiled.


    This feeling made him very enjoyable, the generals were in one heart, the coach made suggestions, the players worked hard, and the opponents were played between the applause to win the game and go to a higher place!


    In the following time, England''s offense clearly turned to the right, and McManaman seemed to be fixed on the right of the frontcourt.


    Aldrich issued tactical instructions, no need to mention each player''s life, the key points play a role, so that the team can execute.


    The outside world has repeatedly emphasized that Aldridge activated McManaman, the reason is that in the frontcourt attack, McManaman''s point is to move the whole body.


    Without McManaman, Scholes and Owen, no matter how the position is shifted, how to cooperate, and the connection between the two points, it is impossible to derive more changes, only to be monotonous and rigid.


    But with McManaman, he is the engine driving the trio. When he goes to the left, Scholes will lean to the left. Owen also keeps in touch with him in the front. He goes to the right. In the same way, the local contact of the three people will not be obviously blocked.


    Now McManaman has gone to the right, Scholes is naturally close to this side, and there will be more changes in the offense. Despite some deviations, such as the lack of space for Beckham who came from the assist, the other side Lampard has a broader stage. After Beckham or Phil Neville came up, McManaman remained in the same position. Scholes turned into a shadow and rushed to the front line. The attack of the England team Gradient and layering can still be well reflected.


    Gunes found that the England team frequently made threats on the right, raising an ominous hunch in his heart.


    In the first 30 minutes, the offensive of the England team was well limited by Turkey. Turkey had little chance, and England did not.


    But England suddenly tried to hit the right, and with frequent shocks, Turkey''s left defense was a bit overwhelming.


    Gradually, Turkey''s defense must be tilted to the left, led by the direction of England''s main attack.


    Elgon on the left side of the midfield was almost broken!


    He withdrew to occupy the full-back zone defense, McManaman and Beckham or Phil Neville took the advantage of the right midfield. If he did not retreat, McManaman rushed forward and directly Arriving in front of the defender line, the ups and downs oscillated between the top and bottom, and Ergon¡¯s defensive situation was so embarrassing that he could only be supported by teammates.


    This is also the first on-site command adjustment made by Aldrich after seeing the characteristics of Turkey''s offensive configuration.


    The positions of Basturk and Emre are just separated from the middle of the road. In other words, during the attack, Turkey is actually a 3322 formation. Once Emre attacked, England counterattacked the right, Ergun The distance from Tougai is too far. The position distribution seems reasonable, but it lacks key protection. When England concentrates firepower on the right, they want to make up for the defense on this side. If the defender dare not move, only Tougai!


    In the 38th minute, Tuguai really moved past the assist defense in advance.


    McManaman, who was waiting for the opponent to do so, did not hesitate to pass the ball back to Beckham, who then crossed the other side.


    The ball passed behind Basturk, and a figure strode the meteor.


    who?


    Ashley Cole!


    Ashley Cole has already experienced this kind of 3 guard or 5 guard opponent. He hasn''t gone to the sidewalk at all. If he walked the sidewalk, did he just collide with the opponent''s side player Davala?


    He walked inside, and even approached the middle. When he crossed Basturk and scored in the frontcourt, Turkey''s backcourt defense. In front of Ashley Cole, there was only the back line!


    The big troops on the back line are all on the right, he dribble the ball forward along the way.


    Gunes panicked on the sidelines, blurted out, and growled: "Stop him! Stop him if you foul!"


    God knows that Ashley Cole, who does not play cards according to common sense and has begun to understand the true meaning of "change forward", can produce what kind of lethality when he reaches the back line!

 Chapter 853： False and real, flying fire meteor

    Two years ago, Phil Neville became a sinner in England, and the kind of bitter outsiders that the trivial people refer to could not experience it. Therefore, this World Cup clearly shows that Phil Neville is finishing his job, which is defensive. Based on the fact that he did not dare to over-perform, this was discovered by Aldridge during the warm-up before the World Cup.


    He will not force the players, as the coach, understand the situation of the players, use it properly, and should not demand that the players do what they cannot do, especially the national team coach.


    So Aldridge is not very demanding on the right, and besides, Beckham is on the right, and just a long pass can bring enough threats.


    The left attack is the focus. Ashley Cole and Lampard¡¯s rotation forward is an important means for the England team to attack the city and create opportunities. It also stems from the fact that the two of them are not well-known and are easily overlooked by their opponents. .


    So Ashley Cole showed boldly, only in the battle of the Pampas Eagle, he became famous in one battle!


    The England team needs space to play anti-defense. Even if the Turkish defense is cautious, it does not mean that they can absolutely limit the space for the impact of England. Aldrich uses command to create space for the team!


    Ashley Cole swiftly moved forward, approaching the Turkish defender line, intimidating, insulting, devastating, and staged step by step!


    But he seemed a bit lonely, with Turkic fighters coming to him from all directions, gradually forming a circle of encirclement.


    Owen ran diagonally. In the front of the defender, this penetration, for a moment, was a chance to form a pass and run with Ashley Cole to tear the opponent''s entire defense line. Unfortunately, Ashley Cole hesitated After a while, maybe he was not confident about his ability to pass the ball at high speed. He didn''t pass it. Owen sighed in the sky, and then went back to look for opportunities again.


    Ashley Cole wanted a long-range shot, and suddenly he was unsure, so he simply stopped, controlled the ball, and observed.


    Turkish soldiers will soon surround him, Ashley Cole saw the teammate closest to him, short pass, and handed the ball to McManaman!


    Or McManaman made the ball decisively, stopped, straight, straight and clean!


    Scholes ran from between Brent and Alpe, the ball came from behind him as scheduled, and his combination with McManaman''s pass was perfect.


    Ginger Head has an almost single-handed opportunity to the goal diagonally, no longer hesitating, a heavy shot!


    Goalkeeper Rustu made a world-class save!


    After bravely blocking the ball from above the near corner of the goal, the Turkish crowd will be calm after a false alarm.


    Gunes listened to the huge exclamation in the stadium, he felt his back spine was chilling.


    Aldrich turned his head to look at his head with a sorrowful expression, and Gunes even scolded cunningly in his heart, but it was undeniable that he had a great shock.


    "WOW, Scholes nearly broke the goal, Turkish goalkeeper Rustu showed bravery, and actually saved Scholes'' vigorous volley from the angle! The best chance for England in the first half."


    "In this game, both sides played conservatively. There are not many exciting offensive scenes. Good shooting opportunities are rare. It is very rare for England to create such opportunities. Moreover, with this one Dangerously, Turkey will probably pay more attention to defense and will not give England the same chance again."


    Gunes did not hesitate to let the team close and strengthen the defense, at least, put the first half through.


    He had to think about how to deal with England''s routine of concentrated play and then offensive.


    There is nothing mysterious about England''s offense, but it attracts the opponent''s defensive force in part, creating an offensive space for other teammates.


    Gunes found that there was a deviation in the actual use of his platoon formations.


    In other words, he underestimated England''s ability to fight back with poor rhythm.


    5 midfield, watching a lot of people, but when the Turkish offense, even if the two wing players are cautious not to over-invest, Basturk and Emre must go up, if not, or only one, think Explode England''s defense? If it can be defeated, Argentina is really dead!


    So after Basturk and Emre attacked, they were defended by England. England turned around and fought back. No matter whether Turkey was a 5-guard plus a single midfielder, a 3-guard plus a 3-midfielder, it still could not fill the entire midfield and backcourt. Space.


    The England team''s ability to counterattack is strong, and the strong will be unpredictable at their offensive points, while making full use of the space on the field!


    In addition to the two central defenders and midfielder Bart, the full-backs and two full-backs are likely to be the offensive points offensively and are unpredictable.


    Gunes has begun to think about whether it is changing?


    Change is his habit. When the team is in a disadvantaged position, his first thought is to change. This is his "successful experience".


    However, how to change?


    Also becomes 4321? He has used it before.


    But the single forwards don''t seem to be able to defend England''s defense. They don''t have world-class forwards.


    While he was thinking hard, Aldridge gave the second command on the spot.


    Very simple gesture.


    The players understood at a glance.


    The previous tactical adjustments were cancelled and the team returned to regular offensive tactics.


    McManaman almost laughed, and Beckham also had a hint of enlightenment, and the corners of his mouth were curved.


    With the focus on the left offensive space created by the concentrated fire on the right, and Ashley Cole''s killing to create an excellent offensive opportunity, the Turkish defense line must start to be frightened.


    England has returned to its normal offensive routine. Previously, the offensive routine was false, and the offensive right was cover and creation, but now it is true, wherever it is played, but in Turkey¡¯s opinion, I am afraid that may not think so, this Between reality and truth, they must be scrupulous and distracted, worrying whether England''s offense is playing tricks again.


    By the time the game was in progress, Aldridge was already aware of the situation, Gunes made a mistake, a mistake that may be small, but England can definitely use it.


    That is, Gunes ideally thinks that Basturk and Emre can have both offense and defense. Half offensive and half of defense make the offensive points increase. At the same time, the defense can accumulate a number of advantages in the midfield.


    If the tactical tone of Turkey and England are the same, and they are both late players, this idea is correct, but there are still obvious differences between Turkey and England.


    Don¡¯t look at the fact that both sides are conservative and are based on defense. In fact, in the details, Turkey is still the main attacking party, but they are attacking cautiously. It seems that Turkey has mastered the initiative, but every time England really invests its troops to attack, it comes from the opponent''s midfield attack. The rhythm of playing the opponent is so poor. In Basturk and Emre, the attack ends. After going to the defense but not running out of position, Gunes'' platoon formation, the midfield confrontation advantage no longer exists.


    Such details are difficult to understand in the eyes of the audience. However, if you segment the game and observe it frame by frame, you will find that when Turkey attacks, England¡¯s defense in the midfield and backcourt is very tight, and when England really attacks, it is all After the Turkish attack was frustrated, if Turkey also placed the formation very tightly, it means that England does not have a good chance to fight back, then England will rush to end the attack, and will never rush into the offensive force, making the midfield and backcourt The line of defense is flawed.


    If the top coach advocating offensive is watching this game, he will certainly curse England for shamelessness, and at the same time feel that England has been matured and cooked by Aldridge.


    Turkey may not be aware of this, but will only attribute this phenomenon to England¡¯s better physical fitness, quick offense and defense, or stronger player capabilities, team technical and tactical strength, etc. In fact, it is the offensive posture and offense and defense conversion In terms of grasping the poor rhythm, England is full of discipline and utilitarian. No rabbits, no eagles, no good chances, and no rush into troops.


    In the 45th minute of the first half, near stoppage time, Turkey finished an offensive. Hakan Suk failed to pass the Southgate level. Turkey is preparing to retreat to end the first half. The English team suddenly launched Fast attack storm.


    There was only 1 minute of stoppage time in the first half, and only 35 seconds left until the end of stoppage time. If the counterattack was delayed for a few seconds, all Turkish players withdrew and set up their defenses, which basically declared the end of the first half.


    This was the last stroke in the first half.


    Southgate risked a long pass to Beckham. On that side, Ergon had just slowed down, and the position retreated, and he dared not press it up before giving Beckham an easy environment to catch the ball.


    Beckham took the ball and handed it to Scholes. The **** headed the ball and strode the meteor forward. Emre was behind him and chased again. Emre could not understand himself. He went back and chased, which is very different from Gunes'' midfield defense in the tactical design before the game. However, he couldn''t help but attack. Whenever the attack went up and turned around, he had to go back and chase.


    Scholes went all the way forward. After coming to the front waist area and meeting with Tugue, the pressure on the Turkish back line increased sharply. The people who returned to the front field have basically returned to the second half, but the defense line is not a layout. Very well, at least, Scholes all took the ball to the front waist area, threatening to show signs.


    Scholes guards the ball, turns around, and returns the ball to Beckham who is running up!


    After the pass, Scholes moved forward into the penalty area. Beckham glanced at the situation in the penalty area. In a 45-degree pass, a beautiful arc crossed the sky.


    Straight to the back point of the penalty area, Turkey''s three guards were included in the penalty area before Beckham''s pass, and because Owen and Scholes staggered the position, the three defenses are inevitably messy. Who is going to stare at these two? People, there is no perfect coordination between them.


    When the ball bypassed the defender line and fell to the back point of the penalty area, the Turkish crowds all turned their heads and looked shocked.


    McManaman rushed over towards the ball and hit the goal directly!


    Rustu staged a god-level save again, the ball was blocked!


    Turkey''s restricted area was a mess, and everyone watched the ball flying out of the restricted area, but they saw another white knight killed outside the restricted area, as if rushing out of the darkness, bringing the dawn of dawn.


    That is, magic lamp.


    Lampard!


    Anyway, after this attack, basically the first half of the game will end.


    Anyway, Turkey has already retreated.


    Even if Beckham attacked, Lampard rushed up, facing the ball that popped out of the penalty area. Lampard stood forward, standing sideways with his left foot, raising his right leg, and his foot was straight, and the force was released after the spring. The ball slowly bounced at a height of half a meter, and then, the great force hit the ball side.


    boom!


    With a long shot, the stone burst into shock, and the flying fire meteor launched a shocking impact on the goal of Turkey!

 Chapter 854： First attack and second attack

    Osaka Nagai Stadium.


    The audience on the scene seemed to really see the meteor with wind and fire!


    Just like the name of the ball used in this competition: Flying Fire Meteor!


    Lampard flew into the gate of Turkey in the blink of an eye from outside the penalty area. Rustu was unable to return to the sky. He just got up from the other side of the goal and saw the ball spinning inside the goal.


    The people in the Turkish penalty area turned their horses back. That was when the defensive player tried to use his body to stop Lampard''s long-range fall.


    "The goal has been scored! Lampard! Lampard! The teenager scored a golden goal! The England team lead Turkey 1-0 before the end of the first half! This long shot is so beautiful!"


    Lampard smiled after scoring a goal and ran to the side of the camera to make a kiss, not knowing who it was for.


    Aldridge applauded on the sidelines while smiling and discussing the wonderful long shot with Klinsmann.


    It''s unforgettable.


    Hanging the goal upright is very violent!


    Gune''s face was so blue, why didn''t she keep the last few tens of seconds?


    Change, change, must change!


    No change, no doubt!


    In the first half, England led by a buzzer and scored. Aldridge was in a good mood, but his face became serious when he walked into the player''s tunnel.


    Aldridge didn¡¯t know what Gunes said to his disciples during the intermission.


    But after the start of the second half, he saw a clear change in Turkey''s formation.


    Turkey''s 3-guard system hasn''t changed, but Basturk''s position mentions a midfielder, and Turkey''s formation has changed to 343.


    This is slightly different from Brazil''s 343 in formation, but offensively.


    Aldridge was not surprised, but he desperately hoped that Turkey would invest more offensive troops.


    Gunes was full of anticipation for his change. He started to solve the original design of Basturk and Emre, which had poor semi-realism, but the effect was not good. Now is to release Basturk and let Emre focus Put into defense.


    England still does not make any changes, 4321 is still 4321.


    This is the advantage of Aldridge''s creation of this tactic. The starting point is based on defense. No matter how the opponent changes, it can''t affect England''s defense.


    On the contrary, if the defense is not the starting point, for example, the offense is used to build a tactical system, then the problem may be that the offensive effect is not good, and then to adjust the offense, it will affect the defense and will be more likely to collapse.


    After England made a stop and gave up the initiative, then no matter how adjusted the offense, the impact on defense will not be too great.


    Gunes was full of hope that his change would bring an immediate effect, even if he could not score a goal, at least some absolutely threatening attack!


    It is a pity that his adjustment appears to Aldridge to be a little childish, not enough atmosphere, not ruthless, not enough to spare his life!


    There is only one more midfielder, and the England team has not seen the formation of opponents double forwards and midfielders. Argentina is a three forwards plus a fake forward.


    Basturk pushed up from the centre-back and hit the midfielder, but he did worse than the first half!


    In the first half, at least the midfield can be sorted out. Occasionally, a seemingly threatening precision pass is occasionally made during the attack. In the second half, he came to the front waist area and lived a dark life!


    Surrounded by enemies!


    Bart in front, Beckham on the left, Lampard on the right, and Scholes behind!


    The further forward, his space was compressed narrower.


    Gunes was stunned, watching Basturk was intercepted by Scholes from behind, Lampard and Bart joined forces to suppress, and even Beckham was successfully tackled from the side and once knocked to the ground, the referee also signaled No fouls!


    How did it happen?


    Aldridge shook his head slightly.


    Gunes'' adjustment made him think of a man, someone who had fought.


    Turkish Emperor Trim.


    If it is Trim now, it is estimated that the sleeves will be rolled up and the voice will be screamed, so that the Xingyue warriors can attack and rush up!


    Fight with each other for life and death.


    If you win, sigh your soul.


    If defeated, vigorously.


    The Turkish media said that Gunes is not as decisive and confident as Trim, which makes sense, not to fabricate reasons for criticism.


    If such a small adjustment can play an important role in the overall situation, it is too small to look at England.


    But Aldridge understands Gunes. In the knockout, the coach will become more cautious and reasonable.


    The qualifiers, group stage, and anything you can do. In the knockout stage, the mentality will naturally change slightly.


    It''s just that when it''s time to fight, we must show the courage of the atmosphere.


    England is still old-fashioned, and it''s a late move to wait for the Turkish attack to see what new tricks the opponent can have against him.


    The forward attack was frustrated, the attack was worse than the first half, and the midfield line naturally had to go up to support, there is nothing to worry about, after all, the score is behind.


    Aldrich saw Turkey begin to strengthen the offensive, and looked at the timing to give the team a new instruction: to speed up!


    In fact, Guess''s guess in the first half of the venue is correct: England will force in the second half!


    Their physical strength has an advantage!


    As a result, as the England team started to speed up the game and grabbed the opponent''s counterattack, Turkey''s defense became turbulent and dangerous.


    In the 61st minute, McManaman collided with Scholes to hit the wall and entered the penalty zone under the sideline. He crossed to Owen, who failed to complete the shot under Alpe''s interference.


    Three minutes later, Irving made a single attack, took Scholes'' midfield pass and turned and pulled out in front of the penalty area to complete the long shot. Rustu confiscated the ball.


    After another two minutes, Beckham came up with an assist. McManaman sent a good pass after an empty cut. Beckham shot from the penalty area and missed the ball on the side net.


    ...


    The inner heart was so guilty that the six gods had no master.


    England suddenly went crazy like a demon and turned Turkey into a dizzy turn. If it was not for the England team that could not get rid of the shadow of rough brother, I am afraid that the score has already been expanded.


    Aldridge is numb.


    As the coach, he gave the team the right tactics and strategies, and helped the team to create opportunities in the field command, but the player''s shooting efficiency is like that, which can''t be changed by the head coach.


    Habits become natural, but he doesn''t feel much lost.


    Turkey''s change in the second half was a failure. Even the opening lineup of the opening, the technical and tactical system also failed. They don''t seem to have a clear goal, what exactly they expect from the game.


    Was it dragged into overtime to take a penalty?


    Still consider the physical problems, must solve the battle within 90 minutes?


    To put it bluntly, it is either a firm attack or a defensive stop. Instead, they are torn apart while swinging left and right.


    In the second half, Basturk stepped forward, the control of the midfield suddenly declined, the England team took an absolute advantage, Turkey from the front and back, especially in the midfield and backcourt, the organization of the frontcourt was too formulaic and was After the England team cut the offensive formation, the turnover of the ball began to increase significantly.


    England increased its pace and set off an offensive frenzy, which was based on the decline of Turkish midfield confrontation.


    The number of shots increased, but the ball failed to score another one, but the positioning ball also began to get constantly.


    In the 74th minute, Beckham went for the third consecutive corner kick, and the first two were pushed by the Turkish defender header.


    In the third corner, Beckham still chose to hang directly into the penalty area. This time, Beckham''s corner kick was not good. He flew directly to the back point and was cleared by Brent.


    However, the ball that Brent headed out of the ball was pushed back into the penalty area by the out-of-the-range Bart header. All of a sudden, there was chaos in the penalty area.


    Fatih rushed to the big foot to make a clearance, McManaman tried to turn around and jumped in front of the ball, blocking his opponent''s clearance with his back. The ball hit the curly dog''s hip firmly and looked more like McManaman put the ball back in the air!


    The ball bounced towards the direction of the Turkish goal again. This is an accidental ball, which is the chance that Aldridge often hangs at his mouth.


    The Turks were stunned. They watched McManaman block the ball with a buttock, flew up and flew back over the heads of the crowd. When he fell again, a famous English player jumped up and tried to head the ball.


    Rio Ferdinand!


    He had come up to head the ball, twists and turns, almost stopped and twitched the egg.


    Why?


    Brent made a header and he was ready to go back to defense.


    Bart returned the top of the ball, and he wanted to get a chance.


    Fatih had a big foot to make a siege, and he immediately stopped again to prepare to go back.


    McManaman sat the ball back, but he twisted forward and rushed forward.


    It was a blessing that he didn''t hurt himself.


    But this also made him unable to exert his strength when struggling to head the ball. It seemed to be an active header.


    It was more like a ball hitting his head when he fell.


    Then, Rustu wanted to cry without tears, he abandoned the door and went out!


    The ball flew towards the goal unacceptably.


    boom!


    The ball hit the lower edge of the beam, looking at the track, it should not hit the goal.


    However, the eager Tuguai went back to block the door when Rustu abandoned the door. At this time, he just rushed to the goal line and the ball fell. He did not hide. He probably hesitated how to deal with a " He is facing the difficult problem of the ball falling in front of his gate.


    The cover that tried his best to avoid and brake still got into the goal, together with the ball.


    Oh!


    The Nagai Stadium in Osaka sounded the cheers of the English!


    The Turks were sad.


    Obviously, this is an own goal. Tu Gai sat in the goal with his face covered, and his teammates stepped forward to comfort him.


    And Ferdinand, although the goal will not be counted on him, he has been surrounded by his teammates like a hero at the moment, the stars are holding the moon, Ferdinand is wilder than the roar of the striker''s goal, and also kissed the England team emblem...


    "Own goal! Turkish player Tuguai put his own goal and England led by 2:0. It should be no problem for us to reach the semifinals! Gary, now we can talk about the difference between the first attack and the second attack you just mentioned. "


    "Oh, obviously, Turkey lost their breathless first attack today! On the scene, they attacked first, facing England''s four guards, three backs, Scholes and McMa back Naman, the defensive line of at least 8 people, so their offense is very difficult to play, and Turkey will invest at least three people, up to five people on the offensive end, in this way, England back attack, we are fighting back, we attack It is also a team of up to 5 people, but the Turkish defense we face is only about 5-6. Why? Because the Turkish players who attacked first did not come back. This is the subtlety of Hall¡¯s creation of the English tactical system. First, as the performance of the England team in this competition is getting better and better, now the semi-finals are in sight, more and more people are talking about the technical and tactical system of England. There is no doubt that the England built by Hall during this period has become a This phenomenon will make people remember, and there will be many teams to follow suit, learn, and contribute a new classic tactic to modern football."


    Reinkel talked and expressed his views.


    Aldridge started substitutions on the sidelines.


    Two goals lead, there is not much time left in the game, he wants to further strengthen the defense.


    The semi-finals.


    Despite encountering the Samba Corps, we will enter the semifinals first!

 Chapter 855： Where is the conscience?

    Aldridge''s substitutions are exceptionally decisive. In the eyes of others, he has already formed a group of his own, with a clear "Hall style."


    He replaced McManaman and Irving, who did they replace?


    Hargreaves and Alan Smith!


    This is to stop attacking, with more than ten minutes left, just keep to the bottom and kill your opponent.


    It''s not that the young master''s style is set in a utilitarian color, but that he will play in the most stable and reasonable way for the cards he has in his hand.


    If you want to be someone else, at least you will still retain some face, even if you leave one of Owen or McManaman as a symbol to deter Turkey, you may be less handsome. Now you may say that the handsome is too conservative, but considering Brazil With the team taking one more day off than England, wouldn¡¯t England let the important players retain some energy?


    And he put on Hargreaves and Alan Smith, that is defensive heart defense, but not the old-fashioned defense of piled up guards and iron barrels, it is to make the hierarchy of the entire defense system more rigorous and firm, From the midfield and frontcourt to Smith as the starting point, going back and forth like a pyramid, all members have defensive attributes!


    At the moment, Gu Nei''s angry face was cursed again, and he shamelessly shouted again in his heart.


    In addition to the previous curse, the evaluation of Aldridge is four words.


    Shameless and cunning!


    Turkey also changed horses, adding an offensive player Ilhan.


    But England was very calm at this time, and they were too familiar with the current situation.


    As long as the ball is held steadily, the opponent will not be able to rush to rush to grab, and then, the opponent will self-disorder, they can have a better chance of counterattack.


    If it weren¡¯t for playing Brazil in 3 days, I¡¯m afraid Aldridge would not withdraw Irving, just as they did in Munich in the preliminaries, counterattacking all the way and bombarding their opponents.


    In the final stage of the game, the audience thought that it would enter garbage time, but it actually did not, because the scene seemed to have more climaxes than the first 70 minutes.


    It originated from Turkey''s crazy attack, and the soldiers attacked under pressure.


    Hargreaves replaced Beckham after his debut and released Beckham, then England''s counterattack was even more threatening.


    The Turkish defense line is no longer crumbling, it is almost useless.


    In the 83rd minute, England played 3 2 in the frontcourt. Smith, Scholes, and Beckham hit the first line. Finally, Scholes shot the goal and came to an end.


    Two minutes later, Smith took Beckham''s long pass and scored a single-handed ball. He shot into the Turkish penalty area on a single shot, but was destroyed by the attack when trying to pass the goalkeeper.


    When he first entered the injury stoppage, Beckham hit a free kick and hit the goal post to pop up. Lampard made another shot.


    After the England team wasted more than N golden opportunities, the Xingyue Legion seemed to fail.


    When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Gunes didn''t seem to understand where he lost.


    When he shook hands with Aldridge, he seemed extremely unwilling. Aldridge won and won¡¯t be arrogant anymore. Instead, Reinkel pointed out that Turkey lost in the first attack when making a column report after the game. "The details of this tactical contest.


    The Osaka Nagai Stadium has become a sea of ??celebrations for the English. The English fans have been reluctant to leave for a long time. They are screaming in the stands and crying to defeat Brazil to kill Yokohama and win the Hercules Cup!


    "At the end of the game, the England team, with Lampard¡¯s opening record, and Turkish player Tuguai¡¯s own goal, defeated Turkey 2-0 and headed to the World Cup semi-finals! England¡¯s trip to the World Cup is more like On behalf of Europe and South America''s strongest forces, the group stage encountered Argentina, and soon faced Brazil, and the main European forces were eliminated because of various non-technical factors, and eventually entered the top four teams , Two from Europe, one from Asia, and one from South America. If we can beat Brazil, England will create the best results in the past 35 years. No one will be dissatisfied with Hall¡¯s Three Lions. , They have reached the standard, which is enough to make us proud and proud, but we hope that England in this competition will allow the English to worship!"


    Aldridge walked into the field after the game, but at this time he did not greet the players with smiles as before, but a natural calm color.


    The live footage captured a weird scene.


    On the bench in England, most of the players rushed into the field to celebrate, but the coaching staff in England was exceptionally calm, as if they were eliminated, not advanced to the semifinals.


    Because the coaching staff is the Millwall coaching staff.


    They are used to this kind of victory, and the more they reach the final stage of the event, their joy of winning will be automatically suppressed.


    If you fall in the top 16 and top 8, it is estimated that there will be a heavy blow, which will make you feel depressed for a while.


    Can enter the semifinals, only two games away from the champion.


    In this context, these coaches are more calm and serious.


    If you can''t get the championship, the frustration of failure, regret, regret, will be far heavier than falling in the top 16 and top 8!


    Therefore, the next second after the quarter-finals is the shock. The preparation for the semi-finals, even one second of excitement, joy, and enjoyment, they will not allow themselves.


    This is also to give the players a gesture to make them understand that since they have come here, they will accumulate excitement and joy and wait until they win the championship before releasing it. If they fail to win the championship, at least there will not be much ups and downs in their mentality. Kind of hone.


    Aldridge hugged each player with ease, and then patted their backs. There was no praise. There was only one sentence: "Go back and rest. We will beat Brazil in 3 days and go to Yokohama to play in the World Cup final!"


    An understatement, but instilled a very strong belief, so that the players of the English team did not stay too much on the court, and did not even officially thank the fans, but walked into the player channel with a steady head and no chest, no one reveled in the locker room To celebrate, everyone took a shower in an orderly manner, changed clothes, followed the arrangements of the coaching staff and team doctors, and actively recovered from physical fatigue.


    Aldrich came to the post-match press conference. At the moment, he was already full of seats, and many reporters had no place to sit. They just stood along the aisle.


    Talking about the result of this game, Aldridge said arrogantly: "The England team is stronger than Turkey. We played well today. We won. We have a reasonable result."


    Journalists who followed the game nodded secretly.


    Turkey gives the feeling of losing the game in a confusing way.


    It¡¯s not that Turkic fighters sleepwalk on the field, but people don¡¯t know where Turkey¡¯s ambitions are for the game?


    The attack is not sharp, and the defense is not firm.


    At the level of the top 8, if you want to defeat an opponent like England, you must come up with a firm conviction and swear to die. No matter whether it is offensive or defensive, you must unswervingly execute, which reflects this will. Unfortunately, Turkey does not.


    They are like Senegal, the outside world slammed Mechu, and the media''s criticism is sometimes a sensation. It is not so much that Mechu lost to the 5 guards. It is better to say that he lost to the double forward.


    However, in the environment of football that advocates offensive, there is really no media that will accuse Senegal of being ambitious in attacking.


    And Turkey is also taking the old path of Senegal. As to whether there will be media after the game to criticize Gunes for putting up a three-back to find his own way, that is not the concern of Audridge, and he did not take the time to point out that it is not the point.


    Millwall''s opponents in the Premier League basically dared not put out double forwards and could only deal with a single forward formation. Millwall relied on offense.


    The technical and tactical strength of the England team is similar. If you attack a team that does not have world-class standards, you should not expect that a double forward will be effective in frontal attacks.


    For the Brazilian team in the semi-finals, looking forward to this game, Aldridge said lightly: "The Brazilian team is very strong, oh, I''m talking nonsense. They will be the strongest opponents encountered by England in this competition. They Strong in offense, England in strong defense, this will be a contradictory battle, no one can win, but I think it may be the player''s mentality that determines the game."


    When the content of the normal press conference ended, a reporter immediately asked: "Mr. Hall, just before, another World Cup quarter-finals held in the afternoon, did you watch it?"


    The reporters at the scene were shocked and secretly said: The theme is coming!


    Yes, in their eyes, this is the theme.


    England¡¯s victory over Turkey was not unexpected, but it was the Three Lions that cut another black horse.


    And the war of words between Aldridge and South Korea is not over yet. I am afraid that it will not be able to end until the World Cup is over, because the South Korean team will also have two games, one semi-final, the last one, or the final. , Or third-place war.


    Aldridge said lightly: "Look. I hope I haven''t seen it."


    "why?"


    "Because it was not a football match."


    "what is it then?"


    "The robbery in broad daylight. There is nothing to discuss about this issue. What you want to get from me is nothing more than what many people in the world have said. In South Korea, football has become a mediocre clown''s blatant robbery. I I don¡¯t know if South Korea made a mistake. The World Cup election was held in South Korea. It¡¯s the glory of South Korea. It does not mean that the World Cup has become the Korea Cup. FIFA should also wake up. It¡¯s just that there are more than 400 matches in Italy. Ten thousand complaint emails, counted as Portugal, Spain, the world just took action to complain to them, has more than 10 million people? Why hasn¡¯t it been investigated? Is there tens of thousands of fans all over the world who are blind FIFA is challenging the conscience of fans all over the world and is also subverting the foundations of football. There is nothing to discuss. If there are FIFA officials who stand out and say that Portugal, Italy, Spain vs South Korea are completely fair, I believe that 90% The above listeners are more willing to believe that pigs can fly in the sky."


    The reporters fought hard and nodded frequently, and someone immediately asked: "The Spanish national team''s main player Elgra declared that he would curse after the game and agreed with your previous remarks. He may face punishment. What do you think of this?"


    Aldrich shook his head: "I have no opinion. I just want to calmly watch how this farce in the World Cup will continue. The World Cup first came to Asia. Then, all the promises and expectations before the start of the game have been Destroyed and left in history, this World Cup is full of controversy, full of unbearable memories, FIFA has lost a certain degree of credibility, they now only want to cover up, suppress all the sounds they don¡¯t want to hear, then what Used? Every day in the past has become history. FIFA has not been able to cover up and tamper with history. Unfortunately, FIFA itself is the organizer, manager, or supervisor of football. When they make mistakes, who will supervise them? And sanction them? No, so the injured are the fans, the injured are the Portuguese, Italian, and Spanish national teams."


    "The South Korean national team coach Hiddink said after the game that Spain should reflect on themselves, not challenge the authority of the referee. What do you think?"


    "He put a stinky fart! I haven''t met Hiddink Susel, I didn''t say a word, there was no friendship, but I think the football coach, at the very least, must know what shame is. If he is blind, I apologize, He is not. If he is a Korean, I am too lazy to care about him. But as a successful head coach, what qualifications does he have to make Spain reflect on himself? What is the point of the Korean team being better than Spain? The Korean team should Did you win the game? Where was Hiddink''s conscience when saying that? Was it eaten by the dog?"


    When Aldridge said this, the scene suddenly became quiet.

 Chapter 856： Queen lord I said go

    Aldridge is such a person, what to say.


    He will not go to the fans or stars in the hearts of fans to hold bad feet.


    Hiddink''s name can be described as thunderous.


    But in the life he experienced in his life.


    Hiddink?


    Not even a meteor passing by quickly.


    The only thing I heard from him in Europe was that in 1998, Millwall was the queen of Europe, Real Madrid changed coaches, and Hiddink was dismissed after less than a season of coaching.


    As for what he has done in the Netherlands before, a second-tier top league, it is not worthy of attention from Aldridge.


    Originally, well water does not violate river water.


    But at the World Cup, there was still some intersection.


    The fuse is naturally a match between Spain and South Korea.


    Aldridge is a little bit old, especially for the heroes of Millwall.


    Like Elgra, even though he joined Real Madrid, Aldridge never complained about each other, because everyone is together, no one owes anyone, some memories are wonderful cooperation, although the mentorship is short, but patient Aftertaste, the memory is still fresh, that is the hero of the first generation of crazy lions!


    Because of this, very few players leave and will fall out with Aldridge, everyone will maintain a good personal relationship, like the special case of Stam, for eight years, this is the only one, even if they leave the heartfelt Ferdinand, two people Now it''s all normal, but it''s just too bland, anyway, it''s not to the point where friends can''t do it.


    After the Portuguese game, Hiddink said that the opponent player Pinto was stupid, and Aldridge did not care.


    After the Italian game, Hiddink continued to praise South Korea''s greatness, saying that the South Korean team was unique, and Aldridge didn''t care. The South Korean team was indeed unique.


    But after the game with Spain, Hiddink let the Spanish team reflect on themselves.


    Introspection?


    Introspect your sister!


    Aldridge had fire and anger in his heart.


    In addition to the fact that he watched Elgra''s intention to hit people in the live broadcast, Hua Jin also looked weeping.


    Pushing his former disciples to the point of being rude, it can be seen to what extent the humiliation and anger suffered by Elgra at the time. He was not a hairy boy who had never seen the world, and he was calm in the key battles. The ground went all the way from the back to advance the attack more than 60 meters. This courage and courage can be called the style of a general, and this can''t help it.


    And Huajin is also a person who walked out of Millwall. Aldrich never minded the arrogance of Huajin. Others have the ability to be proud. Which new star has Millwall cultivated? Joaquin left, he couldn''t make his mark at Millwall, and there were so many talents in Millwall. He wanted to find another place. How could Aldridge hinder his future?


    One of the goals that Spain was blown away was scored by Joaquin''s bottom line, but the referee decided that the ball was out of bounds first!


    Finally, in the penalty shootout, Hua Jin missed a penalty.


    He turned from a hero to a sinner in an instant!


    Such a blow was not something Huajin could bear at this age, so he cried.


    How can Aldridge not be angry?


    Even if he doesn''t have any relationship with Huajin''s old masters and disciples, as a bystander, a person who loves football, how can he be indifferent?


    Hiddink has really been in South Korea for a long time, almost assimilated by South Korea. On the one hand, he praises South Korea. On the other hand, after defeating Spain, he said that the victory of the South Korean team is the result of his own efforts.


    His original comment on Spain''s criticism of the referee was: "The loser should reflect on himself, rather than seek excuses from objective factors."


    These words are really shameful. Ordinary people will hide when they get cheap. Like him, they stand on the cusp of the wind and waves and even fall into the ground. They even distort the facts and open their eyes to talk nonsense, even if Aldridge is not a football coach or a football. Practitioners in the industry, he can also attack the other party with integrity!


    Aldridge has already had an enmity with South Korea, and has already had an intuitive economic loss. The young handsome does not care. What about offending a country? The small country of projectiles can make Aldridge''s life turn upside down?


    If he lives in South Korea, he may be in trouble. Even if he leaves England, he will not choose to settle in South Korea.


    Now, he bluntly criticizes another coach, who is very famous and is European, which makes the atmosphere of the press conference a subtle change.


    The reporters are probably thinking about how to make this fire more prosperous.


    However, they racked their brains and still did not remember what kind of intersection Aldridge and Hiddink had in the past.


    Aldridge, drift away.


    In the public impression, celebrities are basically established by convention, complimenting each other, you respect me, I respect you.


    But Aldridge just doesn''t like it. If you don''t like it, you don''t like it. If you hate you, just say it. It''s not his style to hide things in your belly.


    Who offended?


    casual.


    He never thought of entering the football politics in the future, he could not please everyone, and naturally he was not afraid of enemies.


    Fair and comfortable.


    Speaking of conscience, what''s wrong?


    ...


    The football event, which is held every four years, is about to come to the final stage. The top 32 is competing for the world. Who can finally reach the top? There are only four games left for fans to enjoy.


    The controversy surrounding the Korean team has made this World Cup a label of failure.


    But the world is not South Korea, nor the World Cup.


    The South Korean side countered by Audridge''s remarks: Why doesn''t England retire?


    It makes the European media sneer. In this way, Europeans can say that South Americans can also say, but they are not bold enough to say!


    South Korea from the football desert Asia said these words, there is really a sense of despicability that the ground snake wants to ransack the World Cup in a fair and just way.


    There are already countless fans all over the world who hate the South Korean team.


    They committed a heinous crime and belonged to the "Class A war criminal" in the football world.


    Why?


    The World Cup was originally a strong stage for fans around the world.


    Fans from all over the world keep their eyes open and want to see the strength of the strong team and the peak dialogue.


    If the South Korean team really reached the quarterfinals against the background of fair play, then this would be a respectable dark horse!


    However, they are not. Three hugely controversial games have become a pillar of shame for FIFA, and it has made the South Korean team reach the semi-finals as a joke. No one except South Korea will recognize the strength of the South Korean team.


    If, even if Portugal is eliminated, the subsequent game is fair, then what kind of situation will the semi-finals reach in this World Cup to the quarterfinals?


    In the quarterfinals, there will be a European vs. Spanish peak in Europe!


    The top four will be England, Brazil, Germany, Italy/Spain.


    England vs Brazil, Germany vs Italy/Spain.


    This is the World Cup with higher gold content, attention and expectations!


    If you think about it again, the German team can only reach the semi-finals with the god-like Kahn. If they encounter Spain or Italy, can they reach the final steadily?


    Then the confrontation and splendid level of the final will be higher than the original history.


    But all of this was destroyed by the South Korean team. Only they were complacent, and more than four million people took to the streets to celebrate, but it chilled the hearts of hundreds of millions of fans around the world.


    The moon was starry and the England team stayed on the rooftop of the hotel.


    There are two lounge chairs, with a small square table in the middle, where some refreshing local specialties are placed, and a bottle of high-quality red wine is not low.


    On a hot summer day, the breezes at the top of the building were refreshing and pleasant at night. Aldrich embraced his two sons who had fallen asleep on the recliner. The right hand subconsciously gently touched Burt¡¯s back, and his left hand carried a wine glass. A bite.


    Next to him, Jenson also lay on the lounge chair, looking at the starry sky, leisurely said: "It must be said that the weather in London is very bad."


    The longer you stay in London, the more you travel abroad, the more you can understand why some players will leave because of London weather, and this kind of problem is not just Millwall, the whole of England Football is suffering.


    Even if the players are willing to endure, it doesn¡¯t matter, but the players also have family members. Some women who have money and are delicate and expensive, often complain about the protagonist of the ghost weather in London, which makes their men fall into the rumor that they will leave England.


    The coaching team led by Aldridge gave all the players a signal of calm preparations. The players were firmly executing, but he secretly relaxed this evening.


    I have to say that he also has a sense of relief.


    Lead England to the World Cup semifinals.


    His national team''s mission has reached the standard. Although the results are not full marks, but the submission at the moment is enough to make him gloriously leave.


    And for eight years of battle, preparing for battle, this kind of work is already easy to understand. Unlike the player who may relax and become an indulgence directly, good habits allow Aldridge to change his role well. The most important thing is that he does not need to be like Players have the most physical capacity to face a foreseeable fierce battle.


    Shaking leisurely with a glass of wine, Aldridge looked at the night sky and said softly: "Jenson, it''s been eight years."


    Jenson nodded and smiled, said: "Yeah, eight years, remembering that you were wearing a casual dress, a little white face looks to Amsterdam and said to give me a new job, huh, look at now, You have two naughty little guys in your arms, where has time gone?"


    "Where did you go? Oh, to England, to the Netherlands, to France, to Italy, this year, to Scotland, and now to Asia."


    Aldridge''s eyes were in a trance, but he couldn''t hide his glorious light.


    Jenson sincerely enviously said: "Yes, in eight years, you have become a legend from five unknowns, five English Premier League championship trophies, four European Champions Cup champions, and one Winners Cup champion, how many other champions?"


    "Can not remember."


    "Oh, yeah, the world-famous mad lion commander, the trophy is soft, I can''t remember, and other honors are piled up. But I was an assistant coach eight years ago, and I am still an assistant coach."


    Jenson sighed with emotion and inevitably felt a little self-deprecating, but in self-deprecating, he also had an impetus and ambition.


    Aldridge turned his head to look at him and smiled, "No, you changed from an assistant club coach to an assistant coach of the England national team."


    "Should I sprinkle flowers to celebrate?"


    Jenson laughed.


    Aldridge smiled conscientiously and said solemnly: "Someone just called me over in London and said that the Queen of England is going to knight on July 6, the highest level. My answer is: get out. "


    Jensen was stunned and dumbfounded.

 Chapter 857： Pros and cons

    On the roof of the hotel where the night wind was blowing, Jenson suddenly felt that everything in front of him seemed not very real.


    Hearing Aldridge''s words, he suddenly fell into a dull state, even the wine glass was tilted in his hand, and the wine spilled and fell on the lap without realizing it.


    Hahahaha...


    Aldridge laughed out loud, but Earl''s movement in his arms made him immediately lower his voice, and then coughed himself, but the smile on his face was still there.


    Jenson suddenly realized that he was deceived!


    Aldridge is sometimes a little crazy, but crazy and idiot are two different things.


    The Queen of England gave him a knighthood, he said get out?


    and many more.


    Jensen put the glass on the small square table, quickly wiped the thigh, and asked seriously: "The lord''s thing is fake? I remember for a while, Fleet Street was making you a lord."


    Aldridge glanced down at Earl, and after confirming that Earl was not awakened, he said: "It is true, there was discussion before, the content is only the rank of honor, and now the England team has reached the semi-finals, even if they have lost two consecutive games The field was also tied for the second best result in the England World Cup. In addition to the club¡¯s success, I was also a glorious lead with the national team. Of course, in terms of England, this result is placed in Germany or Brazil. It will not be spurned, but failure, unsuccessful, certainly yes."


    Jenson nodded clearly, happy for Aldridge, and immediately asked again: "Then your answer?"


    "I''m not a neuropathy, of course, I won''t say tumbling, just kidding, I just want to see your reaction, very good. What do I say? I don''t care, the British royal family is willing to give me a knighthood, I just take it, no Yes, I still live my days, but I did reject the day that the lord was appointed there, because after the World Cup, I plan to accompany my family to go to China, lord, and wait to go back and say."


    Aldridge picked up the glass, clink with Jensen, and took a sip.


    Jenson couldn¡¯t help crying and shaking his head at this moment, shaking his head: ¡°Because you want to travel, let the British royal family postpone the date? Your shelf is really big enough, as if the British royal family owes you.¡±


    "That''s wrong. They set the date and didn''t ask for my opinion. I have my plan. You don''t know if the boat is between Europe and Asia. The British royal family doesn''t owe me anything. I don''t owe the British royal family. , Why should I change my plan?"


    "They will give you a knighthood."


    "I''m not rare, there are, but not?"


    "Ha, serve."


    Aldridge took two sips of wine, and there was a moment of silence on the rooftop. Then Aldridge suddenly said: "After the World Cup, I plan to retire. The work of the England national team is over. The manager of Millwall, I have notified Jurgen has taken over, should you already know?"


    He said solemnly when he said this.


    Jenson nodded and said, "Juergen has started calling the club players these days. I haven''t seen it, but I guessed it. You tried so hard last season. In fact, it''s already a symptom. Wall¡¯s second great splendor in eight years, the Seven Crowns, the ancient and modern, you retire gloriously and enjoy life, of course, after all, the challenges before you are almost gone. I thought you didn¡¯t notify me, I meant to let I continue to work in Millwall, it seems not."


    The two have known each other for more than ten years. In addition to friendship, they also have a tacit understanding.


    Aldrich said at this time, in fact, it is equivalent to a showdown, but this showdown is not a break, but openness.


    "You certainly want to be alone, so you won''t stay, stay again, you were a teaching assistant eight years ago, you are still a teaching assistant after eight years, the second eighth, the third eighth, maybe to you When you retire, you have always been a teaching assistant, but you want to be the head coach."


    Jenson nodded with a serious look.


    "Why didn''t you choose me to take over from Millwall? I am confident that Juergen has done better."


    Jenson turned to look at Aldridge.


    Instead of looking at him, Aldridge said in a deep voice: "If you are willing to coach Millwall, now you nod and sign a contract with me, and I will let Jurgen leave tomorrow."


    If Jenson is willing to stay as coach, Aldridge is also confident that Jenson will do better than Klinsmann.


    In addition to fame, Jenson is better than Klinsmann in other aspects, and his authority in the team is also higher than Klinsmann, derived from seniority, compared to Klinsmann, from the Netherlands. Jenson, the mad lion blood is more pure, because he is the first witness and veteran of the Aldridge era.


    Jenson''s mouth twitched a beautiful arc, saying, "I refuse."


    Aldridge rolled his eyes, as if foreseen.


    Just as Jenson knew him, he also knew Jenson.


    Compared to Klinsmann''s glory that has existed in the player era, being a coach is a bit of a way to become a monk. Jenson is more like Aldridge. At a young age, he became the first goal of coaching and waited. The coach is to show his talents and strive to realize his journey of ambition and ambition.


    The more so, the more such people want to prove themselves, unwilling to live in the shadow of others.


    If Jenson becomes the next manager of Millwall, the risk is too great!


    Planted, it is difficult to turn over.


    It''s just that it''s just being criticized that Aldridge''s old book.


    Unlike Klinsmann, whose player era is brilliant, if it succeeds, even if some people question it, it will finally be unable to withstand the blind admiration of more fans in reality, and spread it as a good story.


    Therefore, Jenson wants to be the coach, he will definitely leave Millwall''s independent portal, which is similar to Benitez. Benitez thought about this before he came to Millwall, and Millwall gained a little glory. , Leave immediately, and will never touch Milwall¡¯s glory any more. Even so, Benitez¡¯s emergence in La Liga is still constantly connected to Audridge by the outside world, the kind that makes Audridge listen. The shameful mentorship is simply incredible.


    For example, after the original history, Van Gaal and Mourinho were mentors and disciples.


    This is incredible. Van Gaal¡¯s difference from the philosophy of football to the formation of platoons, the tactical concept, is different from Mourinho, which is different from that of Mourinho. Mourinho really follows Van Gaal. , Then he is obviously a traitor who bullies the ancestors, and Mourinho and Van Gaal gather together to recount the old, and they can be fired as a master and apprentice. This is even more nonsense. Nites, Klinsmann and others met, and the most basic social etiquette may be interpreted as a greeting between the master and the disciples.


    "Want to hear my opinion?"


    "Well, you said."


    Aldridge attaches great importance to the advice of fighting eight years old friends.


    After a moment of silence, Jenson said: "Perhaps for you to retire, the position of head coach as a successor, Juergen is the best choice because he has prestige in the team, but in the long run, there may be a lot of risk In the years of my business with Jurgen, I think he might be a little more idealized, to put it bluntly, after he came to Millwall, he saw the team management, team operation, team Development is very smooth, there are not many bumps, he is not like our initial, step by step from the shabby lion stadium to the shining lion king stadium, such as our experience, we did not sell our half-team main work carefully, afraid of one The details are wrong and he is wary of the whole collapse. He has not even experienced the mentality of our first battle in Europe, nor has he been on the ground to feel like Stam left, and the Spanish wings were not willing to come back after renting. , Van der Mede has no secrets about the media, Ferdinand their Christmas scandal and so on.


    Aldrich nodded and said: "Yes, he lacks experience in this area, but, than he has more experienced coaches, I invite, the problems that may face will explode in a short time, outsiders are not familiar with Millwall, Maybe an immature decision will detonate the order of the entire dressing room. Those you said are indeed potential drawbacks, which may happen, may not, but in the end, it is long-term, so I only give him two years , Choose him, there are considerations for the smooth transition you mentioned, and there are also sentiments that give him a soaring stage, but whether he can succeed depends on himself. I believe that he attaches great importance to this opportunity, each The decision will be well thought out."


    Jenson took a sip and asked: "Why not choose Najib? The prestige of Najib is unmatched by Klinsmann. Even me, it may not be comparable. Most of the players in the first team are Najib looking at the youth team. It has grown up, and Najib¡¯s record of leading the youth team over the years is comparable to yours, although the meaning is very different."


    Aldrich shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If football has only friendly matches, no benefits, and no external pressure, Najib will be more suitable than me as a coach, but if you want to be a rich coach, you must learn to deal with the media and have to deal with the crisis. Ability, but also enough courage to deter all opponents, these, Najib is not competent, only the youth team that almost has no such pressure, the most suitable for him."


    "Sounds like a tyrant to be a rich coach."


    "Sometimes, you just need the courage of a dictator to convince a group of multi-millionaires playing football."


    Jensen was thoughtful.


    Aldridge poured wine into the glasses of the two, and picked up the glasses and asked with a smile: "After the World Cup, do you need me to write a recommendation letter to you? You can use it to swindle and cheat. Even if it fails, there will be me backing it, isn''t it?"


    Jenson smiled at the joke, and this reaction made Aldridge feel familiar.


    Sure enough, Jensen''s next words made him speechless.


    "Recommendation letters will be waived, but if I can really become the head coach of a fairly capable club, hehe, then I will ask you for some good seedlings. You can''t be stingy."

 Chapter 858： England, go!

    The World Cup semi-final is approaching, and the four teams left are the focus of the focus. The daily headlines are inseparable from the content of these four teams.


    It was only on the eve of this war that the message from the media mouthpiece behind each team was quite subtle.


    The German team''s eyes locked on the referee group, it seems that even the victory or defeat in the finals is not deliberately emphasized, there is quite a posture of "it doesn''t matter whether you win or lose, but to be bright".


    The South Korean team aimed their hatred at England, and Hiddink was also on the bar with Aldridge. The two top coaches from Europe who had no complaints used to fight in foreign countries. Hiddink relied on the old bosses to teach the lesson. Speaking, the young commander in England simply didn¡¯t bother to take care of it. Seeing the lively European media advocated that Hiddink had the ability to go back to Europe and go to the Premier League to break the wrist with the young commander. Don¡¯t talk about the Premier League. Anyway, first get a league title in the five major leagues. As for more than ten The Champions League championship before the year before, South Korean media don¡¯t blow it anymore, the more it is mentioned, what is the comparison with the number of handsome men who can¡¯t hold the Champions League trophy with one hand?


    Aldrich only felt that the wind of the media was getting more and more crooked. He had never expressed any opinion on Hiddink¡¯s coaching ability. He was just annoyed that the other party held South Korean banknotes and occupied South Korea¡¯s pits. He really regarded himself as a Korean. .


    Aldridge is a fake foreign devil, but he has been teaching England for eight years and has never said a good word to England. Even he will become an enemy of England from time to time, talk about England''s dirty, talk about England''s obsolescence, talk about England''s arrogance and self-error.


    In the eyes of the young marshals, skin color, nationality, race are all distinguishable, but football, without borders, may be self-consolation, self-hypnosis, it doesn¡¯t matter, he is just living like this, right is right, wrong is wrong If you involve some factors outside the football circle to influence your personal position, football will become more complicated. If everyone in the world is like this, the beauty of football will become less and less.


    Fleet Street didn''t go to fight with South Korea anymore. In their eyes, it was boring. The news was over in a day or two, just staring at the game between Germany and South Korea.


    There is something else to do on Fleet Street.


    Wang Ba Lao Zi, who didn''t know where to come out, published a fake news that made the world sensational.


    "England football hooligan invades the World Cup!"


    At this critical juncture, Fleet Street has no time to report even the local fans'' expectations of England''s World Cup journey. Football hooligans are a stain on English football, and no matter how enemies are used, they will be very uncomfortable.


    On all sides of Fleet Street, the ox, ghost, and zombie went around in Japan to find out the news. After interviewing the officials of the Japanese judiciary at the airport, the matter was calmed down.


    During the World Cup, there were indeed recorded English football hooligans trying to come to Japan, but almost all of them were blocked at the airport and refused entry.


    Brazil, which seems to be the calmest in the semifinals, does have no outside interference. As for what Inter Milan denies that Ronaldo will win the world''s latest contract, there is no interference with the Brazilian national team.


    It''s just that the Brazil team has always been an important force in the World Cup. It is no exaggeration to say that the Brazil team belongs to the role of leading level, and their pressure comes from Brazil!


    The Brazil team is not England. As long as England participates in the World Cup, Fleet Street will advocate to fight for the championship, but in fact they fall in the top 16, top 8 and top 4, which will not bring much blow. People are accustomed to it and talk about it. Blowing is one thing, it would be too fake to say that if you can''t win the championship, there will be a lot of people attacking the team.


    But what about Brazil?


    Four years ago, Brazil won the runner-up in France, the whole country was shaken, and even, the Congress held a hearing!


    Not to mention the Brazilians discussing the Maracana massacre that year after year, oh, it was their National Day, defined by the failure of football competition.


    It can be imagined that the Brazilian team''s nearly perfect performance and state after 5 games, the pressure on the domestic call for them to win the championship will be too great!


    The semi-finals kicked off, and the first appearances were Germany and South Korea, and Brazil and England a little later.


    The German team eventually eliminated the South Korean team with Barak¡¯s goal. In the quarter-finals and semi-finals, Barak made a golden goal and sent the German team to the World Cup final. The yellow card could not appear on the final stage. The German new generation midfielder shed tears after returning to the locker room after the game.


    The South Korean team did not perform the "magic" anymore. Before the World Cup kicks off, Italy and Spain have to be ranked in front of the German team in the comprehensive strength assessment. In the end, the German team prevented the Tai Chi Tiger from raising the magic to an epic. South Korea promoted a very powerful South Korea. Team, there were only 4 shots in 90 minutes.


    After the game, the European media clapped their hands, and the mainstream media on other continents also agreed that the World Cup is normal.


    It¡¯s not the story of everyone who doesn¡¯t like unpopularity and the counterattack of the weak. The football world is more exciting and yearning. As many people worship the strong, as many people hate the strong, Millwall, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ??Serie A, Could it be that there are countless strong fans, but there are countless people who look forward to their being cut down every day.


    But everyone has a conscience, and someone who counterattacks by virtue of his ability will clap his hands and applaud. For example, Senegal, if he steals the victory by means of three indiscriminate means, it is despised by the people of the world.


    In the public opinion after the game, the mainstream media of South Korea''s evaluation of the South Korean team is roughly: although defeated.


    Instead, Zheng Mengzhun complained and began to accuse the referee team, turned over the genealogy of the head referee, and then raked FIFA, because the head referee had German origin...


    The next day, the England team had to revisit the same place.


    Saitama World Cup Stadium.


    Since the afternoon, the surrounding area has been watertight. The fans of England and Brazil have become mainstream groups. The local fans who are not weak, and the prologue of a peak battle is about to slowly start.


    Aldridge was sitting in the bus, the car was quiet, and each player was adjusting his state to prepare for the game that started at night.


    Although Brazil has one more day off than them, Aldridge believes that in terms of physical fitness, the England team will not be worse than the opponent.


    Brazil''s group stage was played in the South Korean division, and then came to the Japanese division to play in the knockout.


    The England team has been in the Japanese division from the opening of the group stage to today. If you will go to South Korea to play, then you lose in the evening game and go to South Korea to compete with South Korea for the third place.


    I believe that the Korean media are happy to see this result.


    In terms of venue environment, the England team came to the Saitama World Cup stadium for the second time, which is slightly better than the Brazil team.


    On the whole, external factors are roughly the same on both sides.


    That is, the decisive factor that affects the game will be the competitive factor in the field!


    This is a good phenomenon. As the coach, Audridge is willing to compete with the Brazilian team in such a situation. No one takes advantage of anyone. There is no regret in losing. There is no need to find a reason to comfort yourself.


    When night fell, the Saitama World Cup stadium was full of people, the England team reached the semi-finals, and even the wife of England made it in the limelight in Japan. A group of beautiful girls went to the street to buy something. There is a big sister, very popular, she alone occupies more than eight points.


    This highly anticipated semi-final is the world''s most outstanding matchup to date. The English wife has already occupied the grandstand seats with excellent views, and Bessie and her son seem to have changed their **** today. The woman beside her who also had two sons had a very happy conversation. It turned out that the two hot girls gathered in Japan, and Melanie also came to Japan from Europe. It was not Burt and Ecuador who wore the England jersey beside her. Is it?


    Not only is the woman famous, but even the children are gradually gaining popularity with attention. Xiaobei¡¯s son has a good relationship with the two young masters of the Hall family and is a little friend who can play together.


    Aldridge and Beckham.


    Victoria and Melanie.


    Plus the next generation.


    This will undoubtedly attract the media''s attention and hype.


    ...


    Aldridge was standing in the dressing room, somehow, he was very relaxed now.


    Thinking has become very simple, no need to consider the gains and losses of profits, probably because England has reached the semifinals, "political achievements" he has already given his homework.


    The rest is to return to the competition itself and go all out to defeat the opponent.


    In the eight years of European football that has been in flames, although he values ??victory and defeat as much as he did eight years ago, he has no fear of failure.


    If you lose, you will lose. If English skills are not as good as people lose, what is unacceptable?


    This is not a kind of self-consolation, but Aldridge''s state of mind has really reached the level of honor and shame.


    After the players warmed up and returned to the locker room, Aldridge carefully observed the attitude of each player.


    To his satisfaction, he can see confidence and perseverance in the eyes of these players.


    The temperament of the England team has become natural. The World Cup played five games and won five games. This is also a process of temperament transformation and sublimation.


    Without this self-confidence, without this perseverance to go further, perhaps they should be nervous, trembling, and even unabashedly fearful and fearful.


    Aldrich instilled in them the calmness and thinking that gave them a mentality of not being afraid of Yuqiang, but also the quality of a battle after a victory.


    They sorted out their jersey shoes and equipment, and stood up one after another, staring at Aldridge with a staring look.


    Aldridge said in a deep voice: "Today, we will face the strongest opponent in the past two years, a Brazilian team with super offensive firepower and exceeding our cognitive limit! We must rely on two points to defeat them. One, calmness, second, unity. My requirement for you is that after the whistle at the beginning of the game, you must be absolutely focused and stay in the field completely. Any decision must be decisive, and, obey my command, Can it be done?"


    "can!"


    No one hesitated or hesitated, the whole dressing room rumbling, the echo seemed to shatter the eardrum.


    The entire England team, whether it was a starter or a substitute, replied in unison.


    Aldridge waved his hand and said loudly: "Fight against Brazil, no regrets! England, go!"


    Jenson opened the door of the dressing room, and Audridge came out first, followed by the three lion legions behind him with their heads up and strong!

 Chapter 859： Forced!

    Saitama World Cup Stadium.


    The scene was full of enthusiasm. When Southgate and Cafu led the England and Brazil starters to follow the referee, the atmosphere suddenly came to a small climax.


    "The highly anticipated second semi-final is about to begin! England, who won five games, competes with Brazil, who also won five games, for the final ticket. The media around the world predict the outcome of this game before the game. Brazil More dominant, but not one-sided. England only lost 1 goal in 5 games, but did not lose one goal in the last 4 games! Brazil has a strong offensive firepower, but can they completely destroy England with a gorgeous attack? This is a big one Doubt! Gary, how do you watch this game?"


    "There is no doubt that these are the two best teams, we actually hope that the two teams will meet in the finals, but as Hall said at a press conference yesterday, what is the difference between the finals and the semifinals? What? Brazil wants to win the championship and beat England, both in the semifinals and the finals. England is the same. I think this game may not be as exciting as everyone expected, because both teams are a model of balance between offense and defense. England The team and Brazil have a lot of goals, but the way is different. England has weakened the strike line and strengthened the defense. The troops have defended the midfield to balance the offensive and defensive based on the defense. The Brazil team has weakened the defense and strengthened the attack. In the midfield, they gathered heavy troops, and they also achieved a balance of offense and defense. In terms of technical and tactical expression, the Brazilian team is more popular because they make up for the defense by attacking, and the balance is achieved overall, while England is based on defense to release the offense reasonably No matter how, Hall and Scolari, the two coaches to build their respective teams have reached a classic textbook-style height, and this contest, two teams with heavy troops in the midfield are very likely It will make the scene sticky and intense, but it may not be very exciting, because they will not give the opponent a good offensive opportunity and try to keep the opponent out of the danger zone as much as possible."


    "Yeah, through this World Cup, Brazil has made more fans all over the world like them. Their offense is simply fantastic, and although England also scored a lot, they did not occupy the offense most of the time. Taking the initiative will make many English fans say a little bit."


    "No way, we don''t have Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho. Although the fans like Brazil, but I observe the European football media column, many coaches respect the Three Lions team built by Hall more, For Brazil, there is nothing but praise."


    "Why is this?"


    "I think, whether it is Brazil''s 343, or England''s 4321, it will shine in this World Cup. It is not a bad idea to be listed as a classic tactic. In addition to ornamental and applicability, Brazil''s 343 may be in addition to Brazil. The teams that UEFA can imitate are rare, because not every team can have a 3R combination. Without the terrible offensive pressure of the 3R combination, it will help the defense. Then, 343 may be defeated. On the contrary, the England team Of the 4321, although the strong teams in UEFA disdain, because unless the strong teams meet stronger opponents, basically no club would be willing to play the ultimate anti-reverse formation of strategic weakness, but the middle and lower reaches of the top league The team will be interested in studying it. The cost of imitating England is not particularly high, which is why many coaches respect it."


    "Oh, to put it this way, the name of Hall''s master tactics must be louder."


    "He has always been highly respected, and the topic has returned to the game. I think that the overall technical and tactical confrontation may not find the stronger and weaker gap. Then the game is probably determined by the personal performance of the star. For example, The England team, with almost no errors in the field, was defeated by a magical performance by Maradona, a hand of God, and even five people."


    "Haha, Gary, you are still thinking about the game that year. We have already beaten Argentina in this competition. Are you still not satisfied?"


    "That''s the biggest regret in my career."


    ...


    Aldrich shook hands with Scolari before the players entered the field. The two tacitly complimented each other yesterday. The master style that was a bit masterful was also praised by the media as a hero.


    Aldrich claims to be a mad lion, but he is often not crazy, because he has a habit of complimenting his opponent, even if the opponent is defeated by him, and Scolari is not too crazy now. In the original history, only Brazil won the championship After that, it started to be a little crazy, for example, "My grandma can also win the championship with Brazil".


    Before the England competition, he broke two generals, one main Gary Neville, one substitute Gerrard, but after coming to the World Cup, the team did not appear non-combat type reductions, which made Aldridge very pleased.


    Today, they put on the first 5 games as usual, with 4 of the same starting lineup.


    The England team started with 4321.


    Goalkeeper: Seaman.


    Guards: Phil Neville, Ferdinand, Southgate, Ashley Cole.


    Midfielder: Beckham, Bart, Lampard.


    Front waist: McManaman, Scholes.


    Forward: Owen.


    After coming to the World Cup, the England team is adjusting their status and adapting to the competition, because they have more young people and less knowledge of the big scene.


    The Brazilian team came to the World Cup, there is really a movement to adjust the personnel, which also stems from the factor of Scolari''s short time in office.


    For example, Scolari pulled Juninho out of the starting line and replaced it with Kleberson, which completely allowed the Brazilian team to reach an offensive and defensive balance, and after such adjustments, the Brazilian team performed better and better.


    The Brazilian team started with 343.


    Goalkeeper: Marcos.


    Guards: Junior, Lucio, Ed Millson.


    Midfielders: Cafu, Kleberson, Silva, Carlos.


    Forwards: Rivaldo, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho.


    In the World Cup semi-finals that attracted worldwide attention, even Ronaldinho, who always showed his ease in his face, looked serious. When shaking hands with his opponent, Ronaldinho first nodded when he shook hands with Southgate, patted his arm, and then All Millwall teammates, he patted each other''s arms, Lampard, Ashley Cole will also pat his arms.


    In the World Cup, it is very common for teammates to meet, and when players see the opponent''s coach as the head of their club, this feeling will be very weird.


    Ronaldinho realized this situation for the second time. The last time was in a friendly match. Brazil lost that game. Today, he simply does not go to see Aldridge, so as not to be cranky.


    But Aldridge had to observe Ronaldinho carefully.


    Standing on the sidelines, Aldridge waited for the game to begin.


    He can simply disregard any other factors and devote himself to the spot command of this game.


    The first step is to observe.


    In England and Brazil, he has to observe the state of self and the state of opponents.


    In the first half, the Brazilian team kicked off first.


    When the referee Kim Nelson sounded the whistle at the beginning of the game, the semi-final battle began!


    The England team retired from the first half, and Irving symbolically harassed, and only in the middle circle, not forward.


    At Aldrich¡¯s request, all players in the England team must participate in defense!


    No one has privileges, but this does not mean that Owen as a striker must run back to the penalty area to defend. The key is to play a defensive role. In this game, because the Brazil team is known for its offense, Owen''s defensive task will be heavier.


    At the beginning of the game, both sides were slightly conservative. England seemed to be going for the bus, and the Brazilian team seemed to be slowly warming up in a rhythm into the game.


    After a minute, Cafu passed the ball to Rivaldo in front. The latter took the ball and cut into the middle. Lampard, Bart and Ashley Cole formed a defense. Rivaldo tried to break through and was Lampard stretched his feet from behind to destroy.


    England turned around and fought back, decisively shifting the ball to the right, McManamanla went to the right, and with Carlos back in place, he rushed into Ed Millson''s defense, the Brazilian left-back!


    Before the two sides met, McManaman stabbed the ball behind Edmilson, and the chasing boy Irving succeeded in anti-offside. However, his position was outside the penalty area and was close to the bottom line.


    Irving tried to pass the ball back to McManaman, who was running horizontally. This pass was too easy to be predicted. Gilberto Silva returned to intercept the ball.


    The Brazilian team turned around and then attacked, then took the advantage of the left, but Scolari on the sidelines frowned.


    The England team failed to attack, and it was intercepted in the case of a sporting undead ball. It can be said that this is the best environment to counterattack, but when the Brazil team turned to attack, the England team''s defense line was very tight!


    Four backs, three backs, all in their respective defenses, interlocking, and Scholes in Irving all rushed to the bottom line, he was actually just behind McManaman, which is the front waist. When McManaman failed to receive Irving''s pass, Scholes turned around and retreated. This time, the Brazilian team''s offense has not advanced through the half, and the England team has 8 people in the backcourt!


    what happened?


    It was the England counterattack that did not invest as much force as the previous five games.


    Their counterattack will involve at least 4 people. There is no need to talk about three people in the front field. There will definitely be at least one in the middle and backcourts. At most, 5 people will reach the first line. The subsequent echelon will maintain the level and prevent opponents from counterattack and control The ball was accidentally dropped.


    But as of today''s opening, England''s posture looks very obvious.


    Shou!


    The offensive still relies on counterattacks, but it is mediocre. It is more like the traditional impression that defensive counterattacks rely on a fixed number of two or three people to attack the city.


    Scolari wanted to say that Aldridge was naive, but it was wrong to think about it.


    If the young master of the famous Zhenjiang Lake really shines the killer in the opening scene, how can he be famous all over the world? Isn''t everyone blind in the world!


    Scolari intends to look at it again, and think about it again, so as not to say the young master.


    If Aldridge knew that Scolari was so afraid of himself, and even reached the point of cup and bow, he did not know whether to cry or laugh.


    He is not a god. How could he surprise his opponent on the spot?


    The posture of England after opening today will basically not change!


    The opponent is too **** strong!


    The combination of 3R can be ubiquitous in the front field, plus two monsters with double cards on the side. This attack system can''t find the second one comparable to this one!


    Even Millwall''s unmatched offensive configuration must be slightly weaker.


    In terms of paper strength, England¡¯s top five opponents in the World Cup are only stronger than Argentina. However, Argentina¡¯s technical and tactical system has problems. Theoretically, it is very fierce in theory and the actual effect is very general, even if Scolari admitted that he borrowed from Argentina. The tactics of football, but football tactics have been laughed at by football professionals for hundreds of years: decades of development, but a slight mobile change in a certain position.


    As everyone knows, it is this seemingly inadvertent detail change that has a crucial impact on the overall situation.


    This is the case for the Brazilian team, which looks like Argentina, but the tasks shouldered by the midfielders are different, and the strength of the players in the team is very different from that of Argentina.


    Can Aldridge not be afraid?


    There is a lack of talent in England, Brazil can play offensive football, and their offensive system is 5 world-class players!


    It is these 5 world-class players with 5 unsophisticated engineering players that form the super team after excluding the goalkeeper!


    This combination of offense and defense system is similar to that of Millwall. Someone walks gracefully in front of the world to please the world. Someone in the back should be blamed for the dirty work. This kind of truth sounds simple, but it is difficult to do.


    What is there in England?


    Aldridge didn¡¯t complain, but if he could give him another world-class striker, he would really dare to play against Brazil, instead of retracting and seemingly tightening the fence with all his heart.


    It''s a pity that the murderous England is just one Owen, and there is no one else. Two years later, four years later, maybe a fantasy, a healthy Owen, and a rational Lu Xiaofan.


    Today, Aldridge''s tactical tone for the team is to defend Scholes more harder, to take advantage of his offensive and defensive strength at Manchester United''s central midfielder. When attacking, the center and backcourt can only play at most. The counterattack only depends on 3-4 people, the rest, rest, concentrate on defense.


    No way, forced by Brazil!


    However, in the fourth minute of the opening, Ronaldinho got rid of the pass and had a momentary pass to the middle, but he also grasped it. However, Rivaldo did not run into place and was intercepted by Bart.


    Aldridge''s eyes widened suddenly, and he made a decisive move, gestured on the sidelines, ordered England to attack!

 Chapter 860： Offensive and defensive balance

    A regular 90-minute game, with Aldrich¡¯s vision and ability, it is impossible to let the team play at a rhythm, even if it is anti-reverse!


    It''s a dead end to fight against anti-reverse!


    Unless the ten people on the field form a circle side by side, protecting the football in the circle...


    When necessary, the opponent must be pressured to make the opponent panic and force the opponent to change the rhythm. Otherwise, let the Brazilian team master the active attack for 90 minutes. It is not absolutely untenable, but the probability is somewhat low.


    In particular, once the offensive side enters the rhythm and exerts continuous pressure, under the circumstances of the offensive, the more top players, the more crazy the devil!


    The status will soar all the way!


    Within 5 minutes after the opening, the Brazilian team''s frontcourt offensive almost didn''t make it!


    In addition to the England team¡¯s contraction in the second half, which limited the opponent¡¯s speed and play space, Aldridge sharply captured important information: the Brazilian team¡¯s offensive system has not been fully activated!


    This sign comes from Rivaldo has not yet entered the game.


    An intensive defense like England does not allow the opponent to break through. It is a consensus against the Brazil team. Other teams will do the same, but the England team should not do so absolutely according to fame, even more conservative than before.


    In the case of no breakthrough space, the ability to guard the ball, control the ball, and divide the ball in a timely manner is particularly high.


    Ronaldinho was very wise. He started to get rid of it on the spot. He also had a 70% chance of passing Beckham and a 50% chance of passing Phil Neville. However, when he faced the two men at the same time and the other party did not take the initiative When robbing him and not losing the center of gravity of his body, what is the probability of his breakthrough breaking away from success? Maybe 5 attempts and 1 success, but the risk is to lose the ball and give the England team a chance to fight back 4 times!


    So Ronaldinho wisely didn''t go by, just got rid of the spot, attracted the defense, and waited for his teammates to run without the ball. The place where the Brazilian team''s offensive system is really strong is not how powerful their individual players are, or that is just a basis.


    Before the Brazilian team''s game, you rarely saw anyone in 3R who was alone in a team like Maradona, leveled the opponent''s defense and became a hero.


    They are strong in these individual players with strong ability to pass and run with each other, the local connection is close, one person controls the local and divides the ball, giving room for teammates to break out.


    This is why Aldridge wants to make Scholes more involved in defense. It stands to reason that even if the Brazilian team assists on the wing, England can¡¯t resist 7 defenses and 5 defenses?


    It''s really impossible to prevent!


    Therefore, it is necessary to use the most primitive and simple way to defend, increase the number of defenders, further compress the space, making the offensive connection of the Brazilian team more difficult, and the players running without the ball are not obviously empty.


    Even so, the player''s personal ability is still very high. It is necessary to switch the marking target at any time. The defensive player is the regional defense first, but the offensive player can run irregularly. The Brazilian team plays this pass, which is to let the defensive player mark People are chaotic, and then create opportunities. Only more defensive players can have higher fault tolerance.


    Offense is harder than defense, so when Brazil¡¯s trident in the frontcourt and even the entire offensive system has not reached the best state, the English team¡¯s defensive investment seems excessive. In 90 minutes of the game, the player¡¯s state will not always be the best. , Especially if all 11 players are at their best, and it is unlikely to exist continuously.


    Whenever this non-optimal period occurs, England must seize the opportunity to create offensive opportunities in a controlled manner to fight for victory.


    Now, it is Aldridge who orders the team to attack and try to seize the opportunity.


    Of course, he ordered the offense. It was not that the England team turned into a wild horse and rushed to the frontcourt, but that the overall formation was pushed forward. Through the control of the midfield, it was closer to the opponent¡¯s danger zone, which is to provide the attack. Stronger support, as for the players who really hit the front line, still 3-4.


    Scolari discovered the formation of the England team for the first time, and the whole heart suddenly hung up.


    It¡¯s ridiculous, either Brazil or England, both of them have reached the level of offense and defense balance, one is achieved by offense, the other is achieved by defense, and on the field, the Brazilian team really does attack mainly, which makes They seem to be more dominating the situation, but England is not completely passive. Due to the technical and tactical play of both teams, they must ensure that the third line is closely combined, and England first retreated and compressed the formation in the second half. In order to move forward, in fact, in the overall situation, the England team has an advantage, that is, once their formation is pushed forward, and the Brazil team can¡¯t adapt, the midfielder will lose control and turn to be dangerous.


    This kind of contest is exactly what the top coaches of the entire world football are watching this game.


    Brazil¡¯s advantage lies in its dominance, and England¡¯s advantage lies in controlling the overall trend. They want to make the game open, they can do it, they don¡¯t want it, and the Brazilian team is the same.


    All this is based on the tie of the score.


    Scolari quickly commanded the midfield to close, and Aldridge made a move. How could he be passively beaten?


    The England team made an offensive, and it looked very small.


    McManaman and Owen continued to contact on the right, then Scholes responded in the middle, and finally Lampard rushed up to respond to Scholes'' cross-footed long-range shot.


    Then, the Brazilian team closed in the backcourt, and it looked a bit out of touch with the trident in the frontcourt.


    But this disconnect is not gambling. For the Brazilian team, the Trident does not need to return to defense. Their offensive deterrent is too powerful!


    And when they are defending, three guards plus four midfielders become five guards plus two midfielders, or four guards and three midfielders!


    How many people will England need to break through with these seven defenses?


    If the England team is the same as before, five players are invested in the offense.


    In other words, there are only 5 defenders in the backcourt. If the Brazil team fights back, can the 3R combination explode England''s 5-man defense?


    Under the pressure of England to give opponents little space, the 3R combination will explode England. I am afraid that the problem is not big. The suspense is only that they succeeded for the first time or failed three or five times. The sixth attempt was successful. .


    Can England rely on five offensive players to explode the Brazilian defense system of 7-man defense?


    Difficult, it is one of them that there is no perfect counterattack opportunity, and the second is that there is not enough level of positional warfare.


    For this reason, even if England presses up a little, it is still prudent to actually invest in the offensive first line.


    The fear is still the 3R combination.


    This is the core of the Brazilian team relying on offense to achieve an offensive and defensive balance, deter opponents with strong offensive capabilities, so that the opponents dare not invest in offensive forces, and the defense system is complete and orderly.


    England, on the other hand, deter opponents with its ability to counterattack with terror, which also makes the opponents afraid to invest too much offensive force.


    In this game, the player''s personal performance has not yet appeared bright highlights.


    But the two coaches, relying on the cards in their hands, have the feeling that every opponent will meet Liangcai.


    Scolari made the Brazilian team''s back line back, which was to induce the England team to play a positional battle and gradually invest in troops, but after a while, they found that the England team''s offensive was on the rise because they occupied the midfield advantage, but they really killed The first-line players are still those people. Odrich is not fooled, which makes him sullen.


    At the same time, Aldridge whispered in his heart: old fox.


    Switching to an immature team may have been tricked by the Brazilian team¡¯s aggressive approach, and stepped into the trap step by step.


    Fortunately, although England is not talented, the players are very obedient under his staff, tactical discipline is not said, obviously occupying the midfield advantage, the offense is not a big pressure.


    The only thing that Scolari puzzled was: Why did England and Wang Ba eat the weight of the scales, just to fight right?


    Regardless of the counterattack after the opening, or the active attack that has now occupied the midfield advantage, the England team is playing on the right, right, no matter how many people on your side are defending, I am playing on the right!


    This routine has been thoroughly understood by Brazil.


    Either the team cooperated to play behind Ed Milson, or the offense finally shifted to the middle, allowing Lampard or Scholes to end.


    With Silva, Carlos and Ed Millson establishing a tacit defense on this side, England''s offense became very difficult.


    At the same time, Brazil''s frontcourt offensive is also becoming more and more threatening. The alien with Afu''s head almost managed to complete the entire line of defense alone. He received Rivaldo''s pass without stopping the ball. At the same time, he passed the ball while overtaking Bart, and then passed the ball when Ferdinand decisively grabbed. Fortunately, Ferdinand was not a brain rushing up. This is his cooperation with Southgate. Ronaldo connected the two. The last trip After Ferdinand, Southgate was successfully intercepted.


    The audience did not expect that in the first 20 minutes of the opening, it was the England team that took the advantage of the active attack. The Brazil team passively defended. The England team played three long shots. Irving and McManaman each had an inward dribble from the sideline. Unsuccessful, and the best chance for the Brazilian side is that Ronaldo almost broke through the entire back line to form a single-pole ball.


    Aldridge did not hesitate to see the situation, and did not hesitate, he waved his hand directly, the Three Lions, withdraw!


    The overall formation of the England team immediately withdrew, restored the state after the opening, determined to fight back!


    This is also the only advantage of the England team. As long as they don¡¯t lose the ball, they can take the initiative to switch their attitude towards the game. The Brazil team also has a passive time, but Scolari is obviously good at tuning this Brazilian team. Not panicking.


    The audience immediately found that the Brazilian team began to exert force and regained control of the midfield. Then, the 3R combination frequently interspersed with positions. While cooperating in the group, it also used individual play to tear the England defense line in time.


    Ronaldinho flexibly controlled the ball and rarely made breakthroughs. It was not that he didn''t want to, but there was no space. He repeatedly faced the defense. The people defending him were very tacit. He would not try to break through frequently unless he was absolutely sure.


    He began to play his organizational skills, driving the offensive system in the frontcourt, and connecting with his teammates. This kind of continuous transfer of the ball, he played well in Millwall. Through this, he can constantly tear the opponent''s partial defense and make The opponent is exhausted and the physical energy is consumed. The England team obviously surpasses the Brazil team!


    In the 28th minute, Ronaldinho gave way to Carlos and ran back to the inside. Carlos, Silva, Ronaldinho and Ronaldo made a transfer of the ball. Ronaldinho had already got the ball and came. In the middle, this kind of running gave him a certain space, but Scholes was still in the shadows, which was extremely difficult.


    However, Ronaldinho has come to the middle, disturbing England''s defense while taking the ball. When Bart no longer points at Rivaldo, but meets Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho immediately scores the ball, which is passed to get rid of the defense. Rivaldo.


    Rivaldo didn''t stop the ball at all, and directly knocked on the alien in front of the penalty area.


    After the alien stopped the ball, he used a rhythm to make a fake action. Southgate''s defensive ability is still not world-class. He is good at making up positions and assisting defense. In this one-on-one, his obvious center of gravity is inclined. , The alien made a fake move at an angle, gently flicked the ball to the right and shot directly!


    The ball was extremely tricky, and went straight to the corner of the goal against the turf. Looking at the trajectory, it was to rub the inside of the goal post and roll into the goal.


    The old goalkeeper Seaman fell on the ground in time and touched the ball with his fingertips, which slightly changed the trajectory of the ball, only to hear the clear voice, the ball hit the post!


    After the alien shoots, he rushes into the penalty area. The ability of the top shooter to capture the second attack opportunity is actually instinct!


    Seaman looked at the rebounded ball, he was unable to get up and hug the ball again.


    On the occasion of a great shot, Ashley Cole flew a shovel, one step before the alien touched the ball, one step, Ashley Cole scooped the ball to the bottom line.


    England, escaped!


    Everyone at the scene was nervous, getting a slack.

 Chapter 861： The dream of an invincible place

    When you are a head coach, you need to have the ability to behave differently.


    The alien''s shot clearly made Aldridge''s heart tremble, but his expression did not change, and Tai Shan collapsed in front of him without changing his face.


    This has nothing to do with confidence, it is simply a signal to the players, so that they are calm, calm and chaotic.


    Panic!


    Anyway, the goal was not scored!


    After the Brazilian team finished the corner attack, Audric made a gesture to the players on the court, meaning to strengthen the protection before the penalty area.


    Let the aliens face the defenders directly in front of the penalty area, and there is no obvious pressure on the left and right. Behind the question, how many defenders can block the aliens one-on-one in this world?


    Don''t look at Southgate being deceived by a simple fake alien. The guard who can''t be deceived by aliens can come over in one hand.


    Southgate is still smart, and the next action trend after being deceived is not to find an alien, but to retreat. If he does not have this action trend, I am afraid that the alien will kill him. The restricted area became a single pole.


    Obviously, the defender can''t face the alien challenge directly one-on-one.


    The England team was afraid of the Brazil team, which in turn strengthened the defense and weakened the offense.


    Is Brazil not afraid of England?


    Even if they regained control of the midfield, it is obvious that they are also cautiously investing in the offense.


    Cafu only highlighted the coordinating role in the offense, not daring to press on. Silva and Kleberson of the double center forward are also mainly defensive, but almost in the middle circle, the offense relies on the trident and the wing double Support to the limit.


    No matter how the offense is played, after all, the middle threat is the highest goal. When the England team strengthened the protection in front of the penalty area, it appeared that a compressed version of the Christmas tree was placed inside and outside the penalty area. The Trident played well and did not overturn the entire defense system. The wing gave them a certain degree of freedom of movement, but the Brazilian team had no significant effect in the pass. They also did not have a column center.


    But playing like this is really bad for England. Like the spring, other teams have not given enough pressure to England. The spring rebounded back to have room. But after the Brazilian team continued to exert pressure, they were fully capable of crushing this spring!


    "The defense of the England team has been very successful so far. We have cut the Brazilian offensive combination independently with more defensive players. Ronaldinho played wonderfully on the left, but he can only play with Carlos. To cooperate, there is not much change in the cooperation between the two people, and sometimes it will fail after two, one. Rivaldo and Ronaldo have also lost their close contact. Scholes¡¯ back defense helped Bart ease the pressure on the middle. , And Southgate, the veteran defender has a very obvious role in this kind of game. He sometimes boldly stepped forward to support the defense of the lower back and made key interceptions and blockades. He knows better than anyone. If the midfielder loses, then the defender is really dangerous in the face of Ronaldo, Rivaldo, one-on-one."


    "But our main energies are all on defense, and people do not see our hope of scoring. If we can''t break the goal, is it Hall''s intention to drag the game into a penalty shootout? Mentioned that England did practice penalties while preparing for war..."


    Ronaldinho looked back at the position of his teammates after being intercepted for the third time in the game. His eyes were quite helpless.


    The Brazilian team still hasn''t completely let go, no!


    Want to crush England''s dense defense with a trident?


    What a big dream!


    Even if other people don''t touch the ball, as long as they come up and stand in position to form a threat from the Tiger''s restricted area, they can serve as a diversion, deterring England''s defense and creating more space for the Trident.


    Like now, in the four midfields, except for Carlos because of Ronaldinho''s wide range of activities in the side, he gave Carlos assistance to release the offense.


    On the other side, Rivaldo, he is more inclined to be in the middle. The side was originally reserved for Cafu, but the old team captain is still important, still seeking stability. Rivaldo is more coming to answer, if he can be like Ronaldinho In that way, the middle and side activities are threatening, and the Brazilian team''s offense will rejuvenate more vitality.


    Ronaldinho will not judge his teammates, especially the seniors of the national team, but he is really different from the Brazilian team. In Millwall, he is one of the kings!


    In Brazil, although he shines, but inevitably still have to fight for Rivaldo and Ronaldo, if Ronaldo can cross the limitations of the center like Henry in Millwall, the bursting power of this 3R combination may really be Be invincible, even if the opponent puts out an iron bucket array!


    Rivaldo''s strength is not inferior to anyone, and his contribution to the Brazilian team is no less than that of aliens, but the limelight is slightly inferior to aliens.


    He is the first star under Andrew''s ranks among the world''s most popular players, but no matter whether he transfers to Barcelona or if he is unhappy in Barcelona, ??Aldridge never had the idea of ??inviting him to join him near the water tower.


    The reason is Rivaldo''s character. As in the original history, Rivaldo who won the Golden Globe Award returned to Barcelona and what he said to all his teammates in the locker room: From today, I will not go to the side!


    If a Millwall player says this in the locker room, Aldridge¡¯s answer is only one word: no!


    Football is a team sport, not a player''s private stage.


    you think? he thinks?


    They each go to the game according to their own ideas. Whose one do they listen to?


    A player, even if it is a world-class player, even the world''s first, even Mr. Golden Ball, his ideas can be more comprehensive than the head coach? Can it be more mature than the head coach?


    Aldrich has always been right and wrong, he and Van Gaal are not right, but Van Gaal and Rivaldo fell apart, he thinks there is nothing wrong with Van Gaal, as to whether Van Gaal is unable to use Rivaldo well , Control him, this is not important at all.


    If the head coach wants to listen to the players, the head coach is improper. Since he is in charge of the coach, he must have the majesty of the coach!


    The trident is really strong now, but they can be stronger, but they haven¡¯t done it. 3R, everyone can do better, including Ronaldinho, but they have their own limitations. Valdo is more active in the middle, lack of changes in the active area, making him restricted in intensive defense.


    Ronaldinho is not the head coach, but he has been through hundreds of battles and has been on the top stage in Europe for four years. What magnificent scenes have he never seen?


    The Brazil team is now cautious and slightly naive!


    Obviously, the Brazilian team''s attack of this game encountered unprecedented problems.


    Aldridge called Brazil the strongest opponent England has encountered since joining the World Cup.


    Brazil, why not?


    And talk about the previous 5 games.


    The England team is actually more valuable than the Brazil team.


    The opponents England has run over are: Sweden, Argentina, Nigeria, Senegal, Turkey.


    The Brazilian team is: Turkey, China, Costa Rica, Belgium, Sweden.


    Among the five opponents that Brazil has won, the strongest is Sweden, but it is only at the top of the world''s second-class level. Turkey and Belgium are slightly behind.


    The strongest opponent that England defeated was undoubtedly the Argentine team, and despite the bleak out of the Argentine team, anyway, the strength of the show is the end of the first class.


    For England, encountering Brazil, whether it is psychological preparation or the span of opponents'' strength, is not too strong, especially because they are mainly defensive.


    For Brazil, the span of rival strength is fierce.


    England''s paper strength is indeed not strong, even the super-popular Beckham, who cuts off his reputation, his competitive strength, in 3R, who does not obviously overshadow him?


    But England''s comprehensive technical and tactical strength has made this team''s overall strength reach the first-class level. It is by no means the strongest, but it definitely looks stronger than paper strength. Just as Argentina actually fell by a half, England has improved.


    More than 35 minutes into the game, Ronaldinho never looked at Aldridge. He knew that if he continued to play like this, if the Brazilian team did not change and it looked like there was an advantage on the field, it might be digging for himself!


    Therefore, he had no choice but to try personal breakthroughs, try to make some changes, but all failed.


    The Brazilian team''s offensive oppression lasted for more than ten minutes. The most dangerous offensive was the alien shot on the goal post.


    After that, the England team strangled the Brazilian offense outside the penalty area and began to become familiar with the opponent''s routines. The Brazilian team remained unchanged, which caused the attack to sink into a pool of dead water.


    Ronaldinho can feel the problem, Scolari will not feel it?


    Of course not possible, Scolari is also considering whether to take advantage of the last half of the first half?


    The England team''s counterattack did not play any tricks.


    Talking about the offensive threats from both sides, it''s almost the same.


    Don¡¯t look at the Brazilian team¡¯s control of the midfield and besiege England, but England¡¯s counterattack hit the frontcourt is not a problem, and although England has invested less troops and wins more space in the frontcourt, several sporadic attackers can run open positions and can get Live the ball, just want to overturn the Brazilian defense, without that personal ability.


    What the two parties need is exactly what the other party has.


    Brazil wants space, England wants super individual ability.


    It was really a subtle confrontation of the needle tip against Maimang.


    The Brazilian fans in the stands of the Saitama World Cup stadium were full of enthusiasm, while the English fans cheered a little bit tragically. It is obvious that the English fans are worried.


    On the scene, it seems that Brazil is fiercely attacking and can make threats at any time, while England counterattacks are just two or three people. There is a sense of powerlessness that may be able to shake the tree.


    But Aldridge''s eyes became sharper.


    He saw that the Brazilian team''s offense began to become weak, lack of change!


    The midfielders did not boldly press up, forming a regional containment, tearing up the defensive formation of England, the Trident is fierce, and eventually its ability is limited.


    Aldridge, insight into the second opportunity for England to take a risk in this game!


    This opportunity still stems from the opponent, not the players on the field, is the opponent''s coach: Scolari!


    It is understandable to be cautious when you reach the semifinals.


    But Scolari seemed to lack a sense of courage.


    He wants the Brazil team to be invincible!


    The idea is good, but it is not in line with the current situation of the Brazilian team.


    The England team also claimed to be invincible to play, that is the source of their defense.


    The Brazilian team settled down and even the world was attacked!


    Offense is the basis of their undefeated place!


    But Scolari did not let the midfielder oppress, and the wishful abacus was probably absolutely anti-death to England, and then the offense was determined by the trident.


    If you want to conquer the world, how can there be such a good thing?


    Did you abuse Turkey, China, Costa Rica and other small characters before, making Scolari really think that the Hercules Cup is easy to pick?


    Aldridge''s mouth was slightly raised, and in the picture that was not caught by the live camera, he smiled.


    The third tactical order was issued, England, it¡¯s time for a real killer!

 Chapter 862： The real goal!

    Scolari has just finalized a new plan in his mind, intending to make the Brazilian team fully press the storm offensive in the 40th minute of the game.


    The 5 minutes before the start and end of the second half, a total of 20 minutes, is the best period of rhythm change.


    5 minutes after the start, the players tend to be unfocused, or not enter the game. 5 minutes before the end, it is due to fatigue and the concentration of the end of the game is reduced. This kind of mistake is a lot of second-class or even first-class. The team may commit it.


    But what surprised Scolari was that he had turned his attention to the game, and there was a change that made him caught off guard and even shocked!


    The Three Lions, suddenly pushed back to the overall formation, regained control of the midfield, and quickly launched the Thunder offensive!


    England, who had been attacking the right side before, still played the right side firmly, and this time with the overall pressure of the front, they obviously invested more troops in the right attack and patiently carried out two transfers. .


    When McManaman once again controlled the ball between Edmilson and Carlos, Brazil already had an experienced defensive system and naturally surrounded him. The other players also subconsciously performed routine defenses. .


    McManaman crosses, Scholes catches the ball, and the ball turns to get rid of Silva''s defense. At this time, Irving is inserted into the back of Ed Milson, and Ed Milson is a bit difficult because of the McManaman seems to be running towards him.


    Another defensive player in the midfield, Kleberson turned his head subconsciously to observe the movement behind him.


    Before, Lampard would intervene, this is what should happen when England''s offense develops to this stage.


    However, Kleberson was surprised to find that Lampard was honestly staying in the left area of ??the center circle. He turned his head and looked towards his defense area, but saw Lucio striding to help Ed Milson''s side!


    Scholes gently pushed the ball horizontally, and then blocked the line that Silva intercepted with his body. A figure ran up from behind, setting off a wave of screaming women in the stands of the Saitama World Cup Stadium.


    Ten thousand fans Beckham killed!


    The Brazilian team''s back line is like a ghost, and many people have their pupils shrink.


    How did he kill him?


    At this time, they later realized that when the Brazilian team analyzed the opponent, Beckham was originally a point inserted in the attack, which itself subverted their perception of Beckham.


    As far as they know, the little Beckham who understands should be Tianzun on the right road, and should be a master who perseveres in the world with a B¨¦zier arc, rather than a character who does not work hard and does not seek to hear the princes silently pay!


    For more than half an hour in the first half, except for a few long back passes, they almost forgot that there is another player in England called Beckham.


    At this time, Xiaobei came up and came directly to the front waist area. In front of him, the middle road portal opened!


    Lucio went to the assist defense, Junior would have to make up his seat, and Lucio himself immediately braked back to his own midfield and the Brazilian team was blocking the forward path of Beckham.


    Silva, Kleberson, and the two also fought against Beckham.


    As Lucio was about to run back to his place, a sudden chill came behind him.


    Someone ran forward from behind him to insert!


    Who?


    Scholes!


    Lucio didn''t have time to turn around and Ed Millson had noticed Scholes and immediately followed.


    At the same time, Beckham''s pass came as scheduled.


    Lucio and Ed Milson turned their heads and looked shocked!


    Ed Milson expected Beckham to pass straight to Scholes, but Beckham missed the goal and unexpectedly used the ball to bypass the defender line of the Brazilian team and hit the bottom line in the penalty area!


    The direction is indeed Scholes'' side, but the ball is swept over Scholes'' head.


    Ed Milson knew what was going on without thinking.


    Behind him, Irving ran to the middle of the penalty area and McManaman received the ball in front of the baseline.


    This wave of England''s offensive play was simply fascinating, but Ed Millson and Lucio''s back and forth stopped and hurriedly. Under tension and pressure, it was about to collapse!


    McManaman left Carlos behind him, swept the ball toward the door without hesitation after stopping the ball, there were two people in the middle to answer!


    Irving, Scholes, Double Ghosts!


    Scholes stretched his foot first, trying to break the goal with a clever pad. Unfortunately, the angle was too small and was blocked by Marcos with his body, but the ball was still in the penalty area.


    Owen took another kick and almost kicked the ball towards the goal with his eyes closed.


    Lucio fell to the ground and slid the shovel in front of Irving. The sometimes frivolous defender even knocked his goalkeeper to the ground!


    Irving''s shot hit Lucio''s lying turf, and the ball popped up again. Irving wanted to chase. The junior who rushed over, regardless of three, seventy-one and two, directly made a big horizontal clearance and the ball flew out of the line. Go straight to the stands!


    Qingjun''s face-hunting teenager bowed slightly, clenched his fists in both hands, and bowed his head in a roar.


    He missed the best opportunity!


    Owen annoyed why he didn''t slam the ball to adjust it!


    If that were the case, Lucio was avoided.


    Although the English fans in the stands sighed, the ensuing cheers were even more powerful!


    The England team played a wave of offense that was not inferior to the previous aliens.


    The war is really exciting and exciting!


    Aldridge saw the ball missed, but still applauded the players calmly!


    England can play such an offensive, or space is playing a role, like Beckham''s over-the-top straight, the Brazilian team can''t pass in the frontcourt, it is not incapable, there is no space, let alone this offensive running The effect of the opponent''s defensive deployment is chaotic.


    Brazil is strong, England is weak, but the game is not one-sided, Brazil has the advantage, England also has, just look, who can give play to the advantage!


    Scolari watched a shock.


    However, he still had a fluke in his heart. Is the England team''s forward pressure the same as his thinking? In the last half of the first half?


    It''s important to do it first and then the key.


    In this game, England has the overall direction. Since England has attacked, the Brazilian team cannot fight head-on. Scolari simply took advantage of the situation, letting the formation close and enticing England to fight in position.


    However, when Scolari saw England''s sideline kick out and kicked an unreliable long shot to end the offense, he was confused again.


    Handsome, which one is playing?


    Press up, don''t fight position battle?


    Speaking of that, Scolari is a famous Brazilian coach, but he has never coached in Europe. Before coaching Brazil, he stayed in Brazil. As for coaching in Asia, it can be ignored and obviously derailed from the trend.


    When the England team sacrificed the tactical layout of the crazy midfielder, Scolari did not react for the first time, because it felt a bit strange to him, and it was not clear what medicine was sold in the English gourd.


    If you don¡¯t play a positional battle, just press it up and mix it up locally, if you want to get a chance, then Scolari really has nothing to fear. The first 20 minutes of the first half have already proved that the English set is useless. .


    England regained the advantage of the midfield after pressing up, naturally relying on a large number of people, especially the double midfielder of the Brazilian team is not good at controlling the overall situation, he dare not take the ball at the foot, attack forward, encountering a strong sniper from the English midfielder The situation is justifiable.


    To take the initiative to break the game, either the Brazil team will tactically move forward in spite of the defense, or the stars will play their own peak performance.


    Unfortunately, on the basis of a draw, Scolari was still a little scared, and he dared not easily order the players to grab back to the midfield, titrated against each other, and carried out a fierce fight with the England team in the midfield. After the midfield, whoever rides the dust to kill souls!


    At this time, many top coaches who paid attention to the game shook their heads in secret.


    Scolari holding Brazil''s enviable good cards indeed did well, but the pattern and courage still saw the gap with the young commander.


    England dared to come up, but the Brazilian team sought stability and retreat, wanting to win with stability. It seems that Scolari has not fought in the highest tragic stadium in Europe. It really is not. understand!


    It''s just that England is so murderous and aggressive, where is the killing opportunity? Not many people understand it.


    The lack of investment in positional warfare has become outlandish. The commander-in-chief''s unique approach has been praised by many people. It is estimated that England may be hiding hidden killers at this time, but he has not seen the door.


    After 2 minutes, the England team launched a counterattack after the ball was intercepted by the midfielder. At this time, they did not take the sideline and cut straight to the middle of the road!


    The England midfielder presses up, and the Brazil team cannot stop it!


    Why?


    Trident does not return defense!


    In terms of midfield strength, the England team is even better.


    The England team''s frontcourt offensive group no longer pulls the edge, but also makes Brazil''s defense a bit stunned.


    The back line contracted urgently, Lucio''s eyes were dignified, and he felt a little strange.


    The opponent''s McManaman dribbled the ball and unabashedly came to his center defense zone!


    England, what are you doing?


    Lucio was shocked to see the opponent''s running position.


    McManaman came forward, Owen obliquely inserted into the ribs, Scholes also obliquely inserted into the ribs, three sharp knives, left center and right, all the aiming directions were him, he, he, he Lu Theo!


    And these three sharp knives are in order, don¡¯t look at McManaman¡¯s dribbling, but he is just in the middle, Owen, closer to the penalty area, is on the left front position. The running line is obviously from Junior and Lucy. Austria cut into the penalty area in the middle, Irving McManaman on the right rear, hit Lucio head-on, and McManaman''s right rear, Scholes, and the running line cut into Lucio and Ed Millson in the middle!


    Lucio gritted his teeth, and he couldn¡¯t care about others at this time. He didn¡¯t dare to move. He didn¡¯t dare to block Owen¡¯s running position. If he moved, Scholes would run, and McManaman would drive straight into it. Helpless!


    Aldridge''s eyes on the sidelines were as cold as a knife.


    Throughout the first half, people watching the game from all over the world thought that England was attacking the left side of the Brazilian team, Ed Milson.


    In fact, the real person to deal with is Lucio, the most capable of Brazil''s three defenders!

 Chapter 863： Fold out the world!

    Lucio''s iron guard has obvious advantages, but also has obvious disadvantages. Compared with the other two central defenders, it is moderate. Lucio can become a **** or a devil.


    No matter how indifferent Brazil''s other centre-backs are, they don''t show much weakness, but after all, there are not many weaknesses. It is obviously too naive to think that the Brazilian team will die.


    The England team can''t beat the team''s results without investing too much offensive force.


    Aldridge can only retreat second, giving up the overall strategic victory and striving for details.


    Fighting right, not only suppressing Carlos, forcing Carlos to return to defense, reducing the intention of giving Ronaldinho support, but also the targeted thought of paralyzing Lucio.


    Just like Southgate, Southgate gave Ferdinand, Bart, Ashley Cole backstops, assisted defense, and so on.


    When Southgate was impacted positively by the aliens, he seemed unable to resist.


    It¡¯s not that Lucio couldn¡¯t stop him, but that he disturbed his thinking in the game. He has been backing Edmilson for more than 30 minutes, assisting the defense there, and suddenly the focus of the offensive shifted to him. Both Ed Milson and he are caught off guard. The former may have a delay in the consciousness of replacement, while the latter must immediately change their thinking. Once the brain is hot, it may make a big mistake.


    This iron guard, who has played well in Leverkusen for a year and a half, has not been overwhelmed by pressure.


    McManaman made an emergency stop in front of him, and Owen also stopped the inward running position. Lucio immediately put away the idea of ??grabbing. As expected, McManaman and Owen made a two-on-one cooperation. If Lucio rushed to grab, behind him, McManaman went to the meeting promenade alone!


    Without losing his position, Lucio turned around and grabbed the ball before McManaman stretched his foot in time.


    Scolari took another breath, relieved.


    England team, can''t make waves!


    When he had just let his heart down, a minute later, scenes that made him unacceptable appeared.


    Lucio really understood it now.


    The England team is attacking against him, even the defense!


    After a backcourt offense was ended by him, he controlled the ball and was ready to attack, and he did not want to make a big shot.


    McManaman was on his right, the card owner took his route to the right, Owen ran from Ed Milson''s side to grab his ball, and Scholes stood in front of Kleber Near Sen, Lucio suddenly panicked. His short pass line was almost blocked. So he took the ball forward two steps, not daring to stick the ball too much, and saw Silva passed it.


    The England team''s defensive strategy has actually appeared in previous games, but it is not used by the England team, it is Sweden!


    By locally applying pressure, the opponent''s pass line is predicted, and then a premeditated interception is made.


    Silva didn''t expect Beck behind him to rush up before catching the ball, grabbed his foot before he broke the ball, and rushed straight forward!


    Lucio saw his passing error and suddenly lost his mind and rushed forward to block Beckham.


    Scolari suddenly said, "Don''t go!"


    Originally it was an attack opportunity initiated by the Brazilian team from the back line. The other players are pulling up the formation. As a response, the English team did not press down on Lucio, just to make a gesture. The England team with an advantage in the midfield, just wait After passing the ball with him, what happens after breaking it?


    Need to say?


    Of course it was a thunder blow!


    When Lucio rushed forward, he cut back into the middle of the Brazilian defender''s line behind him. Mo said that the audience knew that four years ago, France, it was not this figure that caught up with the wind and hurt. The eagle, the name of a young genius?


    Golden Boy Owen, looking back while running, Beckham¡¯s pass, as expected, is not too high off the ground, just over the top of Lucio¡¯s head, and the speed is not particularly fast, Lucy Ao looked up at the ball flying towards him. He turned around and wanted to catch up, but he could only watch the ball drift away. It seemed that the ball would still talk, mocking his mistakes, ridiculing him. , Seduce him towards the sinner''s cliff!


    Owen Ru¡¯s unprecedented movement of unloading the ball four years ago was the same. Running the ball on the back of the Chinese and foreign feet was skillful. The ball was flexibly controlled by him under his feet, blending with his running rhythm. Then, Golden Boy speeded up, entered the restricted area, and went to the meeting alone!


    All the spectators at the Saitama World Cup Stadium could not help standing up, but the atmosphere was overwhelmingly breathless.


    Aldrich squeezed his fist, his nails had cut his skin.


    Scolari was dumbfounded, and his heart was beating.


    Golden Boy Owen faced Brazilian goalkeeper Marcos. Owen knew he had a heavy responsibility. This opportunity seemed accidental, but it actually consumed almost all of the tactical layout of England since the opening!


    Miss this, there will be no second time!


    Never!


    The mysterious perception from the depths of the soul made Owen realize: This may be the most important, precious and unmissable opportunity in my life!


    Sorry, regret, regret... England, which has never won the European Cup, England, who has only won the Hercules Cup by relying on the domestic battle dispute, countless ancestors, no matter how shocked they are in a wave of the times, they are all stunning. It is inevitable that the regrets in the national team competition will end!


    Owen''s eyes were firm, and a word echoed in his head.


    "Fight against Brazil, no regrets!"


    without regret! without regret!


    boom!


    A clean and firm shot from the foot of Irving was displayed. The flying fire meteor seemed to pass by Marcos. He did not make any save action, and the running action of abandoning the door stopped abruptly. The stadium stand that erupted like a mountain tsunami has already told him the result, but he still looked around slowly and slowly, and the ball rolled out of the goal. It rolled out of the goal...


    The chasing boy didn¡¯t go chasing the wind anymore. He ran to the corner of the corner, lying on the turf, holding his head in his hands, laughing slightly silly. Other players in England rushed over, kneeling or sticking to the ground Swooping around Owen, he embraced Owen''s head in a frenzy, and couldn''t help but kiss.


    "Ah ah!"


    On the side of the court, in the coach seat, the coaching profession is hailed as the most handsome man, and at this time he snarled with fists clenching his fists.


    The Three Lions broke through the gate of the Samba!


    Aldridge, he didn¡¯t laugh, only snarled, like a roar of a lion, declared war on the world!


    I came, I saw it, I conquered it!


    Although it is not yet over to the game, Aldridge has already made the "possibility" real and tangible!


    Aldrich has always had ambitions, always has!


    Fold out the world and set foot on the throne!


    Without this ambition, he could not reach today. Without this ambition, he would only follow the crowds and stun everyone!


    In fact, in most of the top coaches watching the game to judge, Aldridge has already won Scolari, regardless of the initial layout or on-the-spot command decision, Aldridge is better than Scolari.


    so what?


    In Aldrich¡¯s philosophy, there is no such thing as ¡°although he is still defeated¡±. He likes to do fame and fame, but on the court, he only likes to win.


    "Owen! Owen! The England team broke through the gates of Brazil, and the goal was Michael Owen! He is a hero of England, and his goal is likely to lead England back to the World Cup final after 36 years!"


    Brazil did not expect the England team to break through their gates.


    Although it seems that Lucio''s passing error was caused by a counterattack from a stray ball, in their hearts there is a feeling of "lost it".


    Ronaldinho stretched his face, not very happy.


    He is not a utilitarian in the field of sports. This kind of utilitarian does not mean that he does not care about money, but that his attitude and pursuit of playing football are different from the mainstream.


    There are many players who play to win.


    Ronaldinho is playing for happiness.


    The former, as long as he wins, will be happy. Ronaldinho is not necessarily. He thinks the ball is not fun. Even if he wins, what happens? Still not happy.


    Brazil''s performance in the first half made him unhappy.


    Too utilitarian, or Scolari''s pragmatism met Aldridge, obviously fell off.


    Aldridge sometimes made sure to keep it, even in Millwall, but his atmosphere of life was enough to make Ronaldinho feel worthless even for an hour of depression!


    Brazil lost the ball, Scolari issued tactical instructions on the sidelines, demanding the team to attack!


    Less than 5 minutes left before the end of the first half.


    Scolari put himself on his own. He believes that the young coach leads the ball and will definitely do whatever he can to defend the score of 1:0 in the first half, and then make adjustments in the midfield.


    But he was wrong and changed other opponents, Aldridge will surely make the team back, and hit Brazil, no way!


    He does not retreat, master tricks, in addition to not making mistakes himself, the most important thing is: what the opponent wants, but not give the opponent anything!


    Why did Aldrich pay attention to the game and seize the opportunity to resolutely adjust the team''s attitude?


    It''s nothing more than disrupting the offensive rhythm of the Brazilian team. It can''t allow the opponent to play a continuous oppressive attack. It can''t let the opponent attack more and more smoothly. It is to beat the opponent against the past, making it panic and chaotic.


    The same is true now. The Brazilian team will definitely attack to equalize the score. The English team will do the opposite, and it will not retreat. It will continue to guard the midfield, furiously **** and counterattack!


    This is completely different from the situation before the goal, which originated from the mentality!


    Before the goal, the Brazilian team really came up, Aldridge must order the team to retreat, but the Brazilian team lost the ball, their mentality fluctuations, will make the organization offensive may not be as efficient as before.


    I saw Aldridge''s big wave, ordering the team to continue to maintain the attitude of the game before scoring.


    This time, it is really a fierce fight with the Brazilian team in the midfield!


    The Brazilian team, of course, was slightly irritable when attacking, and there was a tendency to be disconnected in the midfield and backcourt. This is very different from the meaning of the disconnection between the previous frontcourt and midfield. Now, it is really a line of life!


    Cafu passed the ball to Rivaldo. After the latter passed Lampard, Scholes struck the ball. Ashley Cole rushed to pass the ball directly to McManaman in front.


    McManaman led the ball and drove straight in, attracting Junior to defend in front of the penalty area, Lampard plugged in, McManaman made a cross, Lampard received the ball and then played with Scholes. At the end of the game, Lampard hit the ball without stopping and rubbed the ball. Marcos flew and failed to touch the ball.


    Everyone thought that the ball must be scored, but Lampard failed to roll out a greater arc, and the ball flew out of the baseline against the far post.


    There was a huge sigh at the scene, and then England fans applauded the team.


    "It''s a pity that we almost expanded the score to 2:0, but we still have to praise the performance of the England team. This is a gesture of a mature team. There are many teams that lead in the strong dialogue but don''t know. How to play, the England team is very firm and very unified."


    "Of course, we have the best coach in the world, Aldridge Hall."


    The Brazilian team wanted to counterattack but was almost stabbed by the England team. Scolari saw his heart broken. The Brazilian team''s defense was a bit chaotic. In the end of this sporadic time, he did not do what he wanted and let the team take it back. At the halftime, I settled down and said that I was really determined to attack forward, maybe I will be beaten by England again!

 Chapter 864： The strongest encounter

    In the semi-finals of the World Cup, the game of England vs Brazil came to an end in the first half. The score was 1:0, which surprised the outside world. Brazil, the number one favourite, fell behind.


    The overall scene is not as shocking as expected by the outside world. The English team''s performance seems to be relatively stable, in line with the expectations of the public, while Brazil, it is somewhat out of standard.


    It may be that you have encountered a higher level of opponent, and the opponent is still an opponent with intensive defense.


    The layman looks lively and the layman looks at the doorway.


    There are not many exciting scenes in the first half of the 45 minutes. The most critical part is to create a dangerous situation in front of the door. The best chance for the Brazil team is just a shot from the aliens, and the best chance for the England team is Scholes. Shooting, Owen made another shot, as for the goal, the outsiders seem to have originated from Brazil''s own mistakes.


    It is undeniable that the Brazilian team did not play the best in the first half, there are various factors, the most important thing is to reach the semi-finals, and at the same time encountered an opponent whose strength is somewhat larger than the previous opponent.


    Since entering the new millennium, the World Series, the World Cup, and the European Cup will become more and more utilitarian. The more and more the second half of the event, the fewer and fewer games are played.


    In 2000, France was defeated 2-1 in Italy.


    Four years later, Greece 1:0 Portugal.


    In another four years, Spain 1:1 Germany.


    Another four years later, the Italian score lost to Spain and the big score was defeated. Prandelli''s failure stemmed from his violation of the entire trend of football in this period.


    Looking at the World Cup, even if the Brazil team is in full swing, facing the green and yellow Germany team that lacks soul, it only won 2:0 in 2002. Four years later, it will be 1:1 in 120 minutes. After four years, Spain got the Netherlands in overtime, the score was 1:0, and in 2014, the German team also fell to Argentina in the overtime only 1:0.


    Contemporary football encourages offense. Even FIFA amends football rules to take care of offense. This is to please fans all over the world and promote football.


    But in the big game, the more it is to the final stage, if any team is really spoiled, regardless of the defense to attack, I am afraid it will die very badly, such as Prandelli''s Italy.


    No matter how FIFA encourages offensive, it can''t resist the impact of utilitarian thought. The champion and runner-up are only one step away. This step is heaven and earth!


    Therefore, we must pay attention to defense, even if we can sacrifice the offense, we must put the defense in the first place, take the second place, and then balance the offensive and defensive, and there are too many top-less lessons.


    The Brazilian team is a special case and a wonderful flower.


    In this year''s 343 Megatron, if you replace the 3R combination with others, then this team is a joke. There is no 3R combination to attack and defend, there is no 3R combination to watch, Brazil''s defense? Although it is not vulnerable, is there anything outstanding? Who can give confidence? Can the Brazilian coach get a good night''s sleep?


    For the Brazilian team, as long as they can play their best offense, then it means that they are doing the most perfect defense!


    Will Scolari not understand this?


    Of course he understands!


    However, in the World Cup semi-finals, when it is only one step away from the finals, or because of fear of the same five-game winning total of 2 goals per game + offensive firepower England and the champion are like a basket of gold and young men, or or The pressure of the World Cup is too great, he inevitably has utilitarian considerations.


    In the semifinals, who wouldn''t think about the Hercules Cup?


    And Scolari really couldn''t stop at this moment, even though he won the South American Liberation Cup champion, what kind of club intercontinental championship trophy, hehe, how much weight?


    Those who are concerned about the finals of the South American Libertadores Cup may not be as good as the first battle in the top three European leagues or the famous derby.


    To put it plainly, it is guts.


    When the Brazil team failed to give the 3R team enough support, the 3R team could not even tie the three lions.


    When Aldridge saw that Scolari was conservative or utilitarian, and it could be said that he was pragmatism, he took the opportunity to fight with each other.


    It took a half-time lead and a final ticket to appear in front of you. Whether you can reach out and take it away depends on the remaining 45 minutes.


    Despite leading the score, Aldridge returned solemnly to the locker room. No player celebrated happily. After all the battles, they all knew that if they were happy now, it might be useless to cry blind after an hour.


    Be victorious or be discouraged, be a soldier!


    Aldrich looked at the three-lion generals in the locker room and said in a deep voice: "We did a good job in the first half, but the Brazilian team will not sit still and let us step on their bodies to advance to the final. A gap in the ball, in the semi-final, with 45 minutes left, it can be said that the Brazilian team is in a desperate situation, they can unload all the mental burden, and we, we may bear a spiritual shackles, you will Start the fantasy finals. Imagine the peak stage of building a green world in Yokohama. If you start thinking now, you are also thinking about the game. We will definitely lose! Because..."


    Aldrich said here, the people looked dignified, and they saw that the young master who had managed to win a thousand miles in their hearts slowly said a word that made them all shake.


    "Because, in the second half, there is a high probability that we will meet the strongest opponent of this era!"


    His sentence itself is very contradictory, but the players understood it the first time.


    Brazil is Brazil, but was Brazil 2 years ago the same as Brazil today?


    Yesterday''s Brazil, maybe today''s Brazil, will have a gap!


    There are too many factors that affect the team¡¯s performance, and the combination of these factors, what Aldridge said, means: Brazil in the first half is not the strongest. In the second half, it is possible to encounter the strongest Brazil. match!


    "Afraid?"


    Aldridge asked lightly and suddenly.


    The soaked crowd in the locker room will be stunned.


    Aldrich outlined a beautiful arc in his mouth, and said softly: "I hope I will be scared, because that means I can see with my own eyes what is the peak, what is the ultimate, I will tremble, tremble with excitement, let me go again The experience of transforming fear into courage makes me feel like that is the man."


    Without fear, how come courage?


    Only in the face of fear can we check whether it is a true hero!


    Hearing Aldridge''s statement, the players laughed, but their eyes became more enchanted.


    It seems that they also want the Brazilian team to bring them fear.


    This is how they feel differently when they play under Aldridge. Win? Of course it is the goal, but should we be able to witness the magnificence of the pinnacle, should there be a kind of deadly hero?


    ...


    Aldrich did not adjust his tactics too much during the intermission. Most of them emphasized the established combat policy. On the one hand, he has very few options that can be changed. The opponent is too strong, and his own limitations will be stronger. On the other hand At this time, taking the lead and changing the situation invariably, he said that there is a high probability of encountering the strongest Brazil. It is a kind of precautions. It is not a guarantee that the player will be psychologically vaccinated. Are you in a position? Despite the fact that the probability is very low, otherwise Brazil cannot reach the semi-finals and it is impossible to win in 5 games.


    "After the halftime break, the players from both sides returned to the stadium. Many Brazilian fans at the scene showed concern. Although there was not much difference in one ball, the England team had not conceded four consecutive games. The first half The restrictions on the Brazilian team are also very effective. If the adjustment of the Brazilian team''s intermission is not immediate, as the second half of the time is getting less and less, their hopes of equalizing the score may become increasingly slim. We hope that the England team will be like the first half. Treat the game and unite against the powerful Brazil team, but no one can foresee what will happen in the second half."


    "Yes, although most of the time in the first half of the scene was unsettled, the undercurrents were surging. The Brazil team has not yet exerted their true strength. The targeted restrictions of England and the changes in the offensive and defensive posture are the decisive factors for us to take the lead. factor¡­¡­"


    Aldrich habitually observes the opponent''s attitude in the second half, and his observation skills have reached the peak. It can be said that the Brazil team is not an absolutely rational team, because they are free and romantic, and they are naturally optimistic. Even if the score is behind, after half At the break, the mentality is adjusted, and they will not see their ambitious ambitions, but the inherent indifference is not to be underestimated.


    At the beginning of the second half, the England team took the lead in playing two waves of attack. The momentum was obvious, but the only player who could kill the first line was Irving, which ended sloppyly.


    This is a gesture of deterring opponents, and it is also a kind of temptation.


    Aldridge tried to see the clues from the Brazilian team''s reaction and gain insight into the opponent''s mental state.


    When he saw Lucio and Junior made a short pass on the back line and then passed the ball to Cafu, Aldridge frowned slightly.


    The Brazilian team has set their minds faster than he thought, and is now very stable.


    He did not hesitate to make the England formation retreat and return to the normal posture of defensive counterattack.


    After waiting for him to see the position of the Brazilian midfielder and the position of the player in an offense, Aldridge confirmed at least one thing: the Brazil team, which has unloaded its mental burden, is about to start its power!


    England and Brazil are definitely two extremes.


    Not only the offensive and defensive requirements are diametrically opposed.


    Even the survival of the technical and tactical system is completely opposite.


    If England concedes the ball first, it may not even have a chance to counterattack. If you want to reverse, it is almost the same as luck.


    However, the Brazilian team lost the ball first, and they must attack anyway. Instead, they can take out the skills that they are good at and the most powerful.


    Carlos passed the ball on the wing and was blocked by Beckham''s foot. The ball rolled out of the sideline.


    The ball just rolled to Aldridge''s feet. He stooped to pick up the ball. The young commander was very self-knowledge and didn''t try to pick the ball and show his bad feet.


    When he held the ball forward with one hand, he was surprised to see that Ronaldinho came in front of him. Since the Champions League final, the mentor and apprentice officially face each other for the first time.


    I haven''t dared to see Rodriguez of Aldridge. This time he took the ball from Aldridge. Then, he smiled at Aldridge, revealing unsightly teeth...

 Chapter 865： Pinnacle Samba Corps!

    Aldridge also smiled at Ronaldinho.


    The master and apprentice looked at each other and smiled intriguingly.


    At the moment, Aldridge''s heart really raised a trace of fear.


    Maybe like Henry, when Nedved was serious and showing his divinity in his divine state, they were passionate and full of steel, and they crushed everything like steel, and Ronaldinho, in his best state, looked like, It was when he was most relaxed.


    Because he will feel happy, will enjoy the game, and pass the happiness to others.


    If when he saw Ronaldinho running constantly with his face stretched, turning into an engineer like a coolie, his fighting will be praised, but it must not be the best Ronaldinho.


    When the Brazilian team did not retreat and should go all out to attack, the 3R combination will be activated, and Ronaldinho will naturally be released.


    This release is reflected in the field, the most intuitive is the space.


    If Carlos and Cafu are not enough to threaten the depth of the wing, England¡¯s intensive defense will be able to completely stare at 3R, unless any of them alone has passed the five levels and cut the six, trying to score such a goal. Unquestionable.


    When Carlos and Cafu began to threaten the depth of the wing, they would play a role in the frontcourt. At the same time, Brazil''s double center midfielder came from one person to support and the defenders were no longer quite satisfactory. Orderly seemingly adventurous and indeed adventurous positions are arranged, which has the momentum of offensive football, and there is obvious offensive support for 3R in the frontcourt, Silva or Kleberson''s response after the middle, two wings There are dual cards to pin down opponents, 3R''s running position, individual ability to play to get a certain space, the derivative changes of offensive coordination will also show a geometric upward trend.


    Ronaldinho was unhappy in the first half. If the Brazilian team played like the first half, Ronaldinho had only one feeling: Lost!


    However, during the intermission, Scolari''s adjustment, or as long as a coach will be desperate when the score is behind, Ronaldinho started to find the fun of the game again.


    Ronaldinho, who is not complicated in the inner world, came out in the second half and suddenly seemed to have realized something. Not only did he dare to face Aldridge directly, but his mindset was very different.


    His smile, his eyes at that time, and the concealed movement of raising his eyebrows were actually a "pleasant declaration of war."


    Just like he used to play a game of battle with Aldridge in the video game center, he competed for high and low, and scored the winners and losers!


    There is no longer any pressure, but it will make him more motivated.


    England, who leads the score, fell into full passiveness after playing a wave of offense in the second half!


    The Brazilian team fully spread the offensive points, with a clear sense of hierarchy, and their respective duties, mainly composed of the 3R combination, supplemented by others, cooperated very well, and beat England back to the half, breathless!


    England''s counterattack began to be untouchable even in the penalty area. McManaman encountered Silva''s close **** just after halftime and barely passed the ball to Owen running ahead. The top guard Ed Milson looked like Grabbing the ball is actually directly giving Owen the pressure of physical confrontation. Owen just led the ball and wanted to accelerate past the opponent. Ed Millson lost his weight and lost control of the ball. Lucio came up and took the ball away. Initiate an attack!


    Lucio passed the ball to Carlos on the left, and Carlos drove the ball along the wing.


    This wave of attack was fast, Beckham went to intercept, Carlos passed the ball directly behind Beckham, Beckham turned his head, saw the front little Rolla responding, and stopped using rhythm in the face of Phil Neville The change then moved the ball to the bottom line, forcibly passed by the slightly hesitant Neville, and then controlled the ball before the bottom line, but slowed down.


    At this time, the England team''s defense line has quickly shrunk back to the defender line. Beckham also guarded the route of Ronaldinho''s pass to the top of the arc of the restricted area. Rivaldo and the aliens ran in the middle and the front line of the restricted area. England blocked the pass as much as possible. Ball line.


    However, Ronaldinho seemed to slow down deliberately. After Neville approached him, the ball passed back lightly.


    Carlos ran up at this time. Beckham and Neville were not in this area. He strode the ball and faced the goal diagonally. Without a person''s interference, he shot a shocking long shot outside the penalty area!


    Just looking at the trajectory of the ball, the subconscious pre-judgment knows that it will definitely hit the goal range. The amazing long shot of speed and strength makes all Ingra people startled.


    There was a bang.


    The sound of the audience could not help but echoed in the stadium.


    "Heyman! Heyman made a world-class save. He aimed Carlos at the dead end of the long shot! Fortunately, Heyman was not blocked. Fortunately, Carlos'' long shot was outside the penalty area. Fortunately He was aiming at the far corner of the goal. Seaman moved his position calmly and flew to save. The palm barely touched the ball and the ball flew out of the bottom line. It was really dangerous!"


    The Brazilian team''s attack has already made an intuitive threat. Although the corner kick attack was strangled by England, but England wanted to counterattack to return the color but could not do it!


    Two minutes later, Rivaldo and Cafu collided with the ball on the right and then drew the ball inwards. When Scholes returned to the defense, Rivaldo passed the ball and Ronaldinho cut the middle from the other side. Beckham is clearly slower to keep up, why? There is also a threat from Carlos on his side, which is the difference in the attack layout of the Brazilian team in the second half.


    Ronaldinho didn''t stop the ball at all. He didn''t give Beckham a lateral movement and defense. Scholes changed the target and came close. But Bart didn''t dare to step forward. Rivaldo was in the front and Ronaldinho was in front of him. He was afraid that he would lose his position in a hurry.


    Ronaldinho directly plugged the ball to the right rear of Bart, Ferdinand''s defense zone, the aliens just happened to rush, and even stopped and rushed into the penalty area directly, obliquely half-turned and pushed the goal near the corner.


    Seaman''s save was obviously one step slower. The Brazilian team''s offensive almost didn''t stay sideways. It went straight ahead and the speed was too fast. Fortunately, the alien''s shot hit the side net!


    Aldridge couldn''t help but start to tremble, it was a feeling of fear.


    Very strange.


    At this time, he probably realized the feelings of his opponents who were trembling under the pressure of Millwall''s terrorist attack.


    Silently said in his heart: The strongest Brazil, unmatched in the world, appeared!


    If it is said that in the previous 5 games of the World Cup, the Brazil team will perform operations on some parts, adjust them, and carry out the most perfect combination of the cards in hand, then, the Brazil team that started at this moment has reached the state and operation. The pinnacle this team can reach!


    You have to bow your head to reality, and you must admit that even if you give Brazil a little space, they will be able to bloom in a flash.


    Aldridge settled down and gestured towards the court to make McManaman and Scholes retreat deeper. Owen could not return to the half, but the defense in the midfield and backcourt must be the tightest Christmas tree defense system.


    When England made adjustments, it obviously began to compress the mid-way space, but the indiscriminate bombing of the Brazilian team was still not contained.


    Carlos is almost a winger, and Ronaldinho turned upside down on the left, but Ronaldinho can also cut in, and the combination is perfect.


    In the 58th minute, Carlos came to the bottom, Ronaldinho instead stayed in the wing zone, Carlos pulled out the depth, and then passed the ball back to Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho then cut inward laterally, killing the front waist, a precision Wide-range transfer of the ball, immediately turned the offense to Cafu''s side, Cafu knocked back, Rivaldo led the ball before the penalty area and went into the penalty area, a cold shot was caught by Shimanc. The ball was blocked by the foot, but the ball was not cleared. It rebounded over the small penalty area. When it fell, Ferdinand struggled to header the ball. But Bart, who turned the ball in the outer half, turned to the volley and wanted to clear the ball. The result was a kick. Stopping the ball, Ronaldinho is cheaper.


    Ronaldinho took a direct shot calmly, aimed at the upper right corner of the goal, with moderate strength, and seemed to be a little suspicious.


    The audience exclaimed, thinking that the Brazilian team''s shot must enter.


    At the critical moment, the left-back Ashley Cole was standing next to the goal post and headed the ball, almost using his face to block Ronaldinho''s tricky shot. Fortunately, the power was not great and the speed was not particularly fast, otherwise Ashley Cole Elongating the neck may not stop this foot shot.


    Seeing that the shot did not enter, the ball that popped up was directly kicked out of the bottom line by Southgate. Ronaldinho showed no loss of expression, but instead became more and more courageous and vigor.


    People in England''s restricted area turned their horses in chaos. This offensive pressure was unprecedented, and they almost collapsed.


    In ancient battlefields, heroes have always been measured by the force value of one hundred, one thousand, etc. On the court, there is almost such a saying, but it is not exaggerated to one hundred.


    For example, to Ziyi, the two people roughly counteract each other and restrict each other.


    Can Ronaldinho play against Beckham, can the latter definitely restrict Ronaldinho one-to-one? Rivaldo vs Bart? Alien vs. Ferdinand?


    Obviously one-on-one, the pair cannot be exchanged!


    Naturally, there must be more defense than less, and it is necessary to sacrifice offensive players to participate in defense.


    Ordinary teams have one or two players who have the upper hand one-on-one.


    Brazil, all offensive tridents have this ability.


    The most indignant thing is that they can still cooperate together!


    In the first half, Brazil''s offensive play was not outstanding. It was a 3R that was really difficult to beat with four hands.


    In the second half, the Brazilian team played a perfect offensive frenzy, the threat of double cards, the midfielder''s midfield support, encircling England''s half with a corner, not only made full use of the width of the field, but also forced England to at least one person to be alert to their Threats, and then, the remaining space is free for 3R. From facing the defense of 6-7, 3R has become a defensive line with 4-6 players. If it is only static, maybe In the face of 6 people, it seems difficult, but if 3R exerts his personal ability, makes a breakthrough, or subtly cooperates in a group, and quickly transfers offense like a slap in the west, then it is likely that he is only facing a defense of about 4 people, and the difficulty is significantly reduced .


    Seeing that England''s defense was being torn by the Samba Corps, the cold Aldridge suddenly realized that there was already blood oozing out of the gap in the clenched fist.


    The aliens and Rivaldo do two pass one in front of the penalty area. Ronaldo enters the penalty area after counter-offside and meets with Ximan who abandoned the goal. The alien''s shot is blocked by the old goalkeeper Ximan with a fallen body Shili Cole made a layup and hit the bottom line of Cafu.


    Aldridge gritted his teeth, his eyes fierce, and made new tactical instructions.


    Strengthen the aggressiveness of defense in the midfield and backcourt!


    This is the last method of intensive defense, there are more people to defend, if you can''t stop it, you can only use fouls!


    if not?


    Waiting for the gate to fall?


    A new tactical instruction was made. Aldrich was full of money, hoping to make it for another 10 minutes. After 75 minutes, it may be that the Brazilian team''s offense will become impatient.


    However, something unexpected happened to him.


    On the court, there was a problem with the player''s tactical execution!

 Chapter 866： Complete

    In the 69th minute, Ronaldinho Ronaldo received Silva''s pass and guarded the ball. When McManaman came to the defense, he turned 180 degrees and blocked McManaman, who lost his center of gravity, behind him. To start forward.


    In the face of the defense between Beckham and Scholes, Ronaldinho gently passed the sideline and killed from between Beckham and Scholes. Carlos lifted his foot against the sideline and then dropped the ball from the volley. Pass back to the middle.


    Ronaldinho Ronald Scholes followed the ball to the front right without any stop motion while the ball landed.


    Scholes Mai intercepted the leg, but the ball rolled under his leg, looking in the direction of the ball rolling, but he has been thrown away by Ronaldinho.


    In front of Bart''s back, Rivaldo stopped the ball, made a stepping on the bicycle, and then pulled the ball horizontally to shake the angle. He did not break through, but just created a passing space in place. Bart''s defense was quite satisfactory. I don''t know. What is he worrying about.


    Behind Bart, the alien ran laterally and ran from Southgate to Ferdinand. Rivaldo''s pass was to that area.


    Whether it is Ferdinand or Southgate, they think it will be aliens to stop the ball, control the ball, and then attack the goal, neither of them dare to grab, dare! Post it, the other party has the ability to stop and take it, and go directly to the meeting!


    What surprised the two defenders was that the aliens did not touch the ball!


    Seeing the ball rolling towards Ferdinand, subconsciously, Ferdinand stepped forward to make a big foot to make a clearance, but before he got out, someone rushed to take the ball away, who is it?


    Ronaldinho!


    Ferdinand was a little hesitant, but he didn''t dare to reach out for a foul. I don''t know if it was because he stepped on the line of the big penalty area, or because of something else.


    His center of gravity has been lost, Ronaldinho seems to be killed in the air, and the poke is actually a very clever trip. All of a sudden, he entered the penalty area and faced Seaman!


    The old goalkeeper is 39 this year!


    It has been amazing to make several wonderful saves before. Now let the Brazilian players break through the defender line and enter the penalty area, and there is a certain distance from the goal. The speed at which Ximan abandoned the goal will obviously give Ronaldinho more Choose more time.


    The small compass belt was very calm, and Ferdinand was completely cleaned by him. Just like in the Premier League, Southgate rushed to the full speed from the right side to remedy, and Neville on the other side wanted to save the drive.


    When Seaman just rushed out of the penalty area, Ronaldinho flexed the ball to the left and moved the ball forward, Seaman was passed!


    Brazilian fans at the Saitama World Cup Stadium showed ecstasy and were ready to wave their arms to revel!


    Scolari''s heart beats and his facial muscles tremble unnaturally.


    Aldridge closed his eyes and secretly said: finished...


    When he opened his eyes again, he saw the ball rolling into the goal of England, not fast, but pushed the pinnacle of war into another world.


    Ronaldinho laughed and ran wildly with one arm to celebrate. He didn''t go to Samba, but he made countless Samba fans around the world willing to dance for him.


    The live commentary in England was silent for about ten seconds.


    "In the 70th minute of the game, Ronaldinho broke the goal of England. He changed the score to 1:1. This ball is undoubtedly wonderful. Starting from his offensive attack in the midfield, McManaman passed. Cooperating with Carlos and passing the ball to Rivaldo, it was all one-footed. The Brazilian player had a precise footwork. Finally, before the penalty area, Ronaldo also gave a screen for Ronaldinho. In the end, Ronaldi Nio drove the ball into the penalty area and swayed the goalkeeper Seaman to shoot an empty goal. It was beautiful, wonderful, impeccable, and it was simply a perfect goal. This goal process is extremely pleasing. This is exactly the samba football dream. The fascinating place, however, made England suffer terribly."


    "Martin, we must admit that the Brazilian team performed very well in the second half. Not only did England not play a threatening offense, but even the defense seemed to be very difficult. The team has a terrible offensive combination. But the game is not over, we have to have confidence in England."


    When Ronaldinho was walking in the backcourt surrounded by his teammates, he passed in front of Aldridge and cast a happy look at Aldridge, but Aldridge bowed his head slightly in thought and did not see his expression.


    Although it looks like his expression is provocative, even if it is captured by the live camera, Aldridge will not mind, because he knows that maybe this is a game between master and disciple.


    World Cup?


    In life, happiness is the most important thing.


    Aldridge always felt something was wrong. Looking back at the process of losing the ball, he was keenly aware of the key point: Why don¡¯t England players foul?


    Ronaldinho got rid of McManaman just after the middle circle, where there is no foul, and it is acceptable. After all, England is going to fight back, if McManaman steals the ball? Isn''t that a very good chance to fight back?


    Then Ronaldinho passed the ball to Carlos, Carlos passed it back to Ronaldinho, the two cooperated, and Ronaldinho passed the ball to Rivaldo. They all made a goal and did not give the English player a chance to foul.


    However, Rivaldo made a fake move in front of Bart. Bart had a chance to foul. Bart should be able to see Ronaldinho¡¯s forward insertion after the pass. That is a red flag. Rivaldo did not handle the ball the first time. It was adjusted in place. Bart had the opportunity to post it and interfere with Rivaldo''s pass. If Rivaldo broke through, Bart could use a foul to make Rivaldo pass!


    After that, in front of Ferdinand, Ronaldinho went to the ball. Ferdinand and Ronaldinho were teammates. They were also tortured by Ronaldinho on behalf of Leeds United. Do you not know the dangers of Ronaldinho''s past?


    It doesn¡¯t matter whether Ferdinand¡¯s specific location is inside or outside the penalty zone. In Audric¡¯s vision, Ronaldinho touches the ball outside the penalty zone. Ferdinand has a full chance to put Ronaldinho down. The probability of not being penalized is very high. .


    But why didn''t he take the foul?


    Aldridge sighed, this is a problem with the player''s tactical execution, and where is the root cause? He already knew that, even before the game, he had the bottom of his mind, but he did not expect that in the second half, the England players really carried the mental shackles.


    Before the kick-off, he gestured to allow the formation to be recovered again, and the defender line directly retracted into the penalty area.


    As the team set up, Southgate shouted forward: "Before the game, did you forget what your boss said? One battle with Brazil, no regrets! If it is in this state, we Can you leave here with your head up?"


    Hearing the captain''s roar, Bart and Ferdinand gritted their teeth, and then raised their heads to clear away all the thoughts in their hearts.


    They couldn''t think much.


    After winning Brazil, you can go to the World Cup finals.


    That''s the highest stage for professional players to dream of for life!


    The two of them had fears in their hearts and were afraid of eating cards.


    If this game is shown a yellow card, they will accumulate a yellow card suspension!


    During the intermission, the head coach has emphasized that there should be no ideological baggage, but the two still have to think about it, really can''t restrain it!


    And now, it seems to be poured cold water.


    The score turned into a draw. With the final ticket in front of me, the other hand stretched out and was gradually approaching. That was Brazil''s hand.


    After the complicated thoughts were swept away, Bart and Ferdinand didn''t think much about it. If they lost the game, would it be more regrettable?


    When the Brazilian team took the best form and operated on the right tactics and teamwork track, England did seem to struggle.


    This is the poor strength, it is difficult to reverse!


    England''s own strength is weaker than that of the other side, but at the same time there are offensive limitations, status, tactics, all sides, and there is no obvious advantage over the other side.


    As for the initiative of the overall trend at the beginning of the first half, they are still in their hands, but can you really overcome the samba legion that is now in full swing after equalizing the score?


    Originally, Aldridge was planning to make England counterattack in 75 minutes to suppress the opponent''s arrogance and disrupt the opponent''s rhythm.


    But this premise is that the score is still 1:0.


    Now, 1:1.


    The sky has changed!


    Now, all he can do is get the players back, not only intensive defense, but also contain Brazil''s offense through fouls.


    As for how to win, he has no clue for the time being, he can only observe the changes of his opponents, this is the way of survival of the weak, look at the face of the strong!


    He hoped that Scolari would take another stinky move to make himself a vacancy.


    But seeing that Scolari has not reached the level of faintness, the Brazilian team''s advantage of more than 20 minutes of attack in the second half, the fool can see that if Scolari made a change because of equalizing the score, it is really not enough. There is more than a failure.


    Scolari was relieved after Ronaldinho scored a goal, and then the whole person was energetic, apparently changed from the state of frowning and nervousness before, and instantly rejuvenated!


    He didn''t change his mind.


    The winning team does not change.


    This is the concept that the football circle is almost equivalent to the laws of physics, ranging from club building to the use of techniques and tactics.


    The Brazil team is playing like this now, it''s almost eating England!


    It can even be said that if you change to another team, in front of the now crazy Brazil team, I am afraid that you can surrender in more than 20 minutes.


    After the game restarts, the Brazilian team is in a more stable state, and the players are more mentally engaged in the oppression offensive. The England defender line has retreated to the restricted area, between the large restricted area line and the small restricted area line, and the back waist line is protected in front of the restricted area Although it hasn''t reached the ultimate bus yet, it''s almost ready.


    Before Aldridge did not use foul tactics, not how pretentious he was, what shameful fouls? There is a saying originally: foul tactics.


    The reason why it was previously useless is also a fear for the Brazilian team to threaten the regional positioning ball. The Brazilian team''s positioning ball master is like a cloud, both Carlos''s overbearing domineering, and Ronaldinho''s furious and unpredictable.


    In the 72nd minute, McManaman chased Silva back and fouled.


    In the 74th minute, Beckham knocked Ronaldinho to yellow.


    In the 77th minute, Lampard tackled the ball with a raised arm that blocked Rivaldo''s foot. The referee only showed a yellow card in Brazil''s protest.


    A minute later, Bart almost fell Rivaldo to the ground with a fall and the referee showed a yellow card to Niki Bart!


    This ability is by no means a top midfielder, and the number of matches to represent England in the 2002 World Cup will be fixed in 5 games!


    Whether this game wins or loses, Bart will not be able to play in the next game, his World Cup, only the last time of this game.


    Only a few people will focus on Bart, because the Brazil team received a good free kick in the frontcourt.


    Aldridge''s heart raised his throat.


    Ronaldinho takes this set ball about 30 yards from the goal. England has lined up the wall and the goalkeeper is Seaman, who has been in the dark for years.


    Aldridge closed his eyes. From the day he crossed the possessive life, he believed in the destiny of the underworld, so in the past eight years, and even 16 years, he did not dare to slack off. It¡¯s not mediocre, it might be punished by God.


    A rainbow that has been blurred in memory comes to mind again.


    If he was destined to perform "again" again today, he would rather not watch it.

 Chapter 867： Fierce resistance

    On June 26, 2002, Saitama World Cup Stadium.


    Aldridge''s eyes closed slightly, as if to escape.


    fear?


    In the field of athletics, for the first time in eight years, there will be such a taboo feeling.


    He had always been giving his opponent such a sense of oppression, and at this time he changed him to feel the suffocation that smelled of death.


    Dreamy Brazil, the pinnacle of contemporary offensive football, England has no power to fight back, but can only be trembling under the powerful offensive firepower of the other party, the defense line is crumbling, constantly intimidated, humiliated, devastated, and dying by the three lion army To be killed.


    The lead in the first half seemed to be a short-lived strength. When the Brazilian team reached its best state, the younger and more handsome young man was reduced to helplessness, and some players on the England team made him look forward and back Feeling frustrated.


    It seems that if people try harder, they can''t stand the sky!


    Aldrich concealed in any case, he is now proud and proud, no way, he is already famous all over the world, already known all over the world, why can''t he be proud? Why can''t you be ambitious?


    When he came to the World Cup, there was only the Hercules Cup in his eyes, was he wrong? Is the eye above the top?


    If it is not for the Hercules Cup, he might as well take his family to visit the world''s famous places to be happy!


    But God seems to have made a joke with him, a year and a half of hard work will soon be lost, if it is planted here, the utilitarian calculation of a year and a half ago, the various profit and loss considerations of all kinds of baht seem to have become insignificant, leaving Only sad and lost.


    Is really hopeless!


    The theoretical confrontation of technology and tactics has no meaning. The overall strength of the Brazilian team is stronger. At the best state, it has built a strong confidence from backward to equalization.


    The more they attack, the greater the advantage will be, the rhythm will not be disrupted first, and secondly, they will also have an advantage in physical fitness. Don¡¯t look at England¡¯s lack of counterattacks. The players seem to stay in the second half, but before the Brazil team Offensive field, a player''s running position, affects the vigilance and legs of at least two players in England!


    Stacked up, England''s physical energy consumption is higher than the Brazilian team!


    In the final stage, even if Aldridge is reluctant, he must let the player foul, and his physical fitness has begun to catch up.


    Are you embarrassed? Shameless?


    He did not have such an idea. As defending champions, Argentina can put a bus in the final to block the goal. If the prosperous Germany is not relying on a flop, it is really difficult to say who will kill the deer. As for whether the advantage on the scene must win, this is in In the eyes of the coach is the **** disdain.


    But this is not the way to go anyway. The Brazilian team has more offensive flowers and more offensive means.


    Thousands of thoughts flashed through Aldridge''s mind, and the dazzling flames deep inside were gradually extinguishing.


    However, when he closed his eyes, everyone on the scene, the audience all over the world who watched the game, saw a wonderful rainbow across the stadium.


    This rainbow starts at Ronaldinho''s feet, passing over the heads of players in both Brazil and England. The light football draws a romantic parabola. The end of the fall will be in the England goal, rubbing the lower edge of the beam.


    However, when the ball fell and was about to be parallel to the beam, a big hand rose from the bottom. It seemed soft and weak, but it seemed like it was trying to end the rainbow. All the beauty was gone. The ball was shot from the palm of the hand. Open to change direction, refraction forward, higher than the beam to fly out of the bottom line.


    The audience, a sigh.


    All Englishmen breathed a sigh of relief.


    Only the England national team coach who was not an Englishman opened his eyes, his eyes were calm, saw Ronaldinho ran to the corner kick without changing his color, saw Seaman clapping his hands in front of the goal line, and then commanding the team to defend the corner kick. people.


    The flame that was about to extinguish in Aldridge''s heart suddenly skyrocketed!


    His expression has changed slightly, seemingly cruel, stubborn and stubborn!


    fate?


    If everything is doomed, try to fart!


    Seaman put the ball support higher than the crossbar on the goal line. In the eyes of everyone, Ronaldinho tried to hang the door. The angle was well grasped. Seaman made a wonderful save that was not world-class.


    However, Seaman''s hand made Aldridge, who could not see any hope, see the light of hope again, even if it was very weak.


    From the beginning of the first national team training of the former national team coach, Aldridge gave two players a very strange training task.


    Beckham practiced free kicks in the middle and long distances, mainly with hanging doors. At that time, Beckham was very confused, but he did not ask. Seaman thought he was a sparring partner.


    In the past year and a half, the number of games in England, the national team has trained at least three times the number of days, Seaman continued to be hung by Beckham, hanging much more, his defensive mid-range free kick position in front of the problem It has changed a bit. First, Beckham''s footwork is accurate, and it is not accurate to change for other players. How can Seaman be vigilant?


    This caused Seaman to subconsciously fear the opponent''s hanging door when facing the free kick. In the Premier League, he rarely saw him succeeded by hanging the door in awkwardness. Today, facing Ronaldinho, he dare not carelessly, On the occasion of a sudden attack, Ronaldinho''s hanging door was turned away.


    Beckham and Seaman of the parties will definitely not think about their training and training in the national team at this time. Beckham himself should only hone his skills, and Seaman also keeps his state to accompany training.


    The goal was missed and I wouldn''t think much.


    But if this goal is scored, I¡¯m afraid that both Seaman and Beckham will be wise to Aldridge. Of course, regret is inevitable.


    Aldridge slightly looked up at the sky that turned completely into night. If everything was destined, wouldn¡¯t he be a joke in this resurrection?


    No, his efforts are paying off.


    History is in his hands!


    Millwall is proof.


    The countless trophy is proof.


    Seaman''s ability to reject Ronaldinho''s shock blow is still proof!


    If you lose in the end, either lose to fate or lose yourself, don''t give yourself a reason!


    Aldridge gritted his teeth, his smile flickering.


    Fear makes people lost and makes people escape.


    Only with courage to overcome fear can we face the reality no matter how cruel it is.


    Even if the hope is weak, the choice is always in your own hands!


    He closed his eyes again, his mind spinning fast.


    England has no possibility to disturb Brazil now, and even the ability to intimidate the Brazilian team to make it slightly convergent!


    It is impossible to interrupt the Brazil team''s aggressive attack.


    Then, there is only one chance to change the global rhythm!


    The 90-minute game is over!


    After the end of the 90-minute game, a short break before entering overtime, no matter how short the time, will allow the Brazil team to temporarily squash, and the state will briefly fall back, while the England team can also get a breather and calm down.


    Now Aldridge cannot make any offensive instructions, because the team is fully defensive, any forward active adjustments, may give the Brazilian team a fatal blow.


    In the end how to traverse the big mountain of Brazil, Aldridge still hasn''t figured out a way, but the most sensible choice at the moment is to let the game have a global rhythm change.


    He opened his eyes and shouted coldly to strengthen the defense of the players. McManaman and Scholes simply returned to the midfielder and Irving retreated behind the middle circle, symbolically harassing the concatenation of the Brazilian midfielder. Coping.


    The Brazilian fans cheering at the scene were louder and stronger, while the English fans'' cheering was more and more tragic.


    The whole world saw the Samba Corps that performed the peak offensive in the second half, saw their strength to swallow thousands of miles, and also saw the Three Lions Corps who also advanced to the semifinals with a five-game victory to no avail. Now, only You can use negative football, anti-football, and all kinds of methods that are diametrically opposed to the mainstream development trend of football to stop the crush of the Samba Corps.


    When the referee showed a yellow card to Owen pulling the Kleberson jersey in the 84th minute, Mo said that the English players on the field felt sad, and even Aldridge couldn''t bear to look straight.


    In order to stop the crush of the Samba Corps, England retreated and retreated, blocking again and again, using intensive defense, using foul tactics, the road was narrower and narrower, and the final ticket in the ethereal seemed to be flying to Brazil. People''s arms.


    McManaman, Irving, Lampard, Bart, Beckham, Scholes, England have repeatedly fouled, and the referee frequently draws cards in a short period of time. The Brazil team is protesting, but the England team at least There are no malicious fouls, and no obvious absolute red card tactical fouls, except that a yellow card is equal to a knife hanging on the neck. The foul next time, may step into the ghost gate.


    In the 87th minute, Ferdinand blocked Ronaldinho''s dribble outside the penalty zone and entered the penalty zone. He was also yellow and missed the next game!


    Seven people in England got a yellow card!


    In front of the TV, in the stands, some people have already screamed that England is shameless, and can only use this method of tarnishing football. Some English people feel terrible. England is lingering under the strong offensive firepower of the Brazil team. game? In the half of Brazil, there are English people? After England''s defense, he has already started to make a hurried clearance, and has been acquiesced by Aldridge.


    He couldn''t help but disagree, the player''s physical fitness couldn''t keep up, the impact from back to front, can''t run out of speed, how to talk about counterattack?


    It must be slowed down, they must be given some time to adjust, and they must be given some dawn to win!


    If there is anything that gives them confidence, it is that the sidelines are tirelessly directing the players to run and defend, and even hesitate to directly call out the names of the players and let them go to the Audridge foul!


    Yes, Aldridge now has no guru style. How is it different from a rogue?


    He whispered to make Scholes foul. What the **** is he like?


    It was also his beast-like roar that made the England team suffocate to stay dead, and did not lose their minds. Under his command, there are many yellow cards, but no one has turned yellow and red.


    Waiting for the 89th minute, Southgate decisively rushed out of the penalty area and used a flying shovel to give Ronaldinho a free run. When the alien kicked the ball away, Ronaldo was brought down, or the referee was fouled. Southgate has a yellow card.


    After 1 minute, Seaman was given a yellow card due to delay.


    11 starters in England, 9 are yellow!


    After Seaman procrastinated, he passed the ball to Ashley Cole, who drove the ball directly to the court when Rivaldo came to harass. The ball was kicked aimlessly and directly kicked out. Close to the edge of the bottom line.


    Then, the England team replaced!


    This substitution is basically a delay.


    Jenson has come up before to suggest whether Aldridge is considering a substitution to allow players with better physical fitness to enter the field to replenish fresh blood.


    Aldridge refused without hesitation.


    To be honest, the players on the bench have good physical fitness, but they can¡¯t really count on the key moments, and England has no wonders at all!


    This substitution has the lowest impact on the overall situation.


    "The England team replaced Phil Neville with Mills. He couldn''t understand the substitution of Hall. He really couldn''t understand it. Even if he replaced a defensive player with a yellow card on his body, he could be understood, but replaced. Innocent Phil Neville, replaced by a Mills with almost negligible offensive role, or strengthen the defense? But what is the use of it? Is the English team really going to play a penalty shootout with the Brazilian roulette? "


    In fact, Aldridge''s substitution has only one purpose: to delay time.


    Let the players on the field breathe more, let the Brazilian formation recover, and both offensive and defensive will take some time, and then, wait for the regular game time to end!

 Chapter 868： If you do not die, I will die!

    The effect of Mills after playing was very obvious. Ronaldinho ran for 90 minutes, and his physical fitness also declined significantly. Even though the Brazilian team has a certain physical strength, Ronaldinho alone faced Mills on the left wing, but was directly intercepted by Mills. Success, obviously, Ronaldinho also needs to take a rest, the technical movements are also supported by the body.


    When Mills cleared the ball, the referee finally sounded the end of the regular 90-minute whistle!


    If there is no overtime, I am afraid that the Three Lions Legion will wish to collapse to the ground at this moment.


    "The World Cup semi-final between England and Brazil ended in a 90-minute match and the two sides played 1:1. Later they will play overtime. England played well in the first half, but it seemed like they changed teams in the second half. On the offensive end, the Brazilian team has always had an advantage. After Ronaldinho scored the goal to equalize the score, the English team can only rely on foul tactics to block the opponent¡¯s offensive. Objectively speaking, we can¡¯t see it now. England has a chance to win the game."


    "Martin, you are not right, it is not that the contrast between England and the first half in the second half is that the Brazil team played a phenomenal level in the second half. The defense has been done very well. According to the analysis of the limits of offensive threat points, the number one goal for England to defend is Ronaldo, then Rivaldo, and then Ronaldinho. We maximize Ronaldo and Rivaldo failed to become a hero, but it was very difficult to restrict Ronaldinho again. Therefore, Ronaldinho¡¯s goal was precisely the two other people''s restraint The sacrifice gave him a chance to match the Brazilian team''s second half. Is there really an opponent in the world that can stop us? We only lost one ball, which is really lucky."


    "However, we paid more for the physical energy consumption and the yellow card for 9 players. How can we play in overtime? How could it last for more than 30 minutes? Hall''s substitution also seems to have no idea on the offensive end, he It feels like going to a penalty shootout. Even McManaman and Scholes are back in the penalty area. Do we have to give our destiny to luck? If someone falls in the penalty shootout again, England will One more sinner."


    ...


    Penalty shootout?


    When the final whistle sounded, Aldridge completely cut off the idea of ??going to a penalty kick.


    What a joke?


    Going here, and then blocking everything on England''s unreliable penalty?


    Moreover, in the current state of physical fitness in England, can 30-minute overtime be held up?


    If it doesn''t work, it will be penalized one or two before the end of the first half of overtime.


    If he really wants to defend, he will not replace Phil Neville. He must have replaced the offensive player with a defensive player. He put a double-decker bus in front of the door.


    There will be a 5-10 minute break from the start of overtime, depending on the mood of the referee.


    England coaches, substitutes, and team doctors all came into the field to greet the 11 players coming in this area.


    Substitutes cheer for the main players, some coaches ask the players about their status, others stand beside Aldridge whispering, Aldridge listens dignifiedly, team doctors and masseurs relax muscles directly for the players Fatigue, drinking water, drinking water, lying on the ground to receive a massage massage.


    Aldridge will only give them about 3 minutes to relax completely, and then he will arrange specific tactical changes.


    And he shared his ideas with his coaching staff colleagues, let them supplement, improve this tactical design, brainstorming, although it is the last stroke, we must try our best to improve efficiency and reduce risks.


    The Brazil team is also doing rest restorative movements, the situation is roughly the same as the England side.


    Looking down at his watch, Aldridge walked to the middle of the player with the tactical book. At this time, he didn''t pay any attention to the rules. He sat on the turf directly, letting the 11 players on the field around him, including him, Twelve heads put together, and the camera in the distance captured this scene, which was really strange.


    The England team seems to be negotiating secrets, not to mention a circle, heads together to leave a hole in the top.


    The English players, who were regaining their composure, looked serious, with 11 pairs of eyes staring at Aldridge.


    For them, the only thing they can rely on at this time is Aldridge, and even if they eventually lose the game, they will not have any complaints about Aldridge.


    It is absolutely inseparable from Aldridge''s great credit for coming here.


    Aldridge draws the specific position of each player in the tactical book, there are adjustments, there is no change, and then talk about the overall tactical thinking, make sure that each player understands, and then focus on each player Telling about their own tasks again, because it is the last stroke, it is necessary to be more detailed.


    The England team is listening to the coach''s tactical arrangements.


    Scolari on the other side was a little envious of Aldridge.


    He really doesn''t have any special tactical arrangements. The Brazilian team has an advantage. As long as the Brazilian team continues to play the state and momentum that sweeps the world in the second half, England? In the second half of the 45th minute, there was not much waves. In the overtime, the physical performance was worse, and it could be turned upside down?


    miracle?


    Miracles will not appear out of thin air. In the second half of England, there will be no signs of miracles!


    No one has to calculate how long the rest is. When the referee stands on the sidelines and informs the two sides to enter overtime, the coaches, team doctors and substitute players of the two teams will withdraw from the court.


    Aldridge was still standing on the sidelines, and it seemed a lot calmer at this time, not as wild as before.


    In this game, his contest with Scolari was actually decided in the second half. Who won? Is it important? Leave it to viewers all over the world to comment.


    "Overtime will start immediately and I hope the England team will recover after a short break!"


    The rest of these few minutes is very important. Not only physical, but also a team''s overall state of continuity interruption, both teams can not avoid, but England is defending, Brazil is attacking, the latter naturally has a greater impact.


    After the start of overtime, the Brazilian team did not rush to come up. Scolari probably wanted to see what tricks the England team had. After all, Aldridge was a bit shocked to greet everyone over the scene.


    However, the England team is almost the same as before, and it directly retreated to the half!


    The Brazilian team doesn''t invest in the offense, and they don''t come up to grab it. Are they determined?


    Speaking of changes, there really are.


    "Scholes, it seems that he hit the lower back. He and Bart form a double back."


    "Double backs? Just say four backs!"


    Yes, Scholes withdrew to the back waist area, parallel to Bart''s position, Beckham and Lampard were also approximately parallel, and the wall in front of the guard line was more three-dimensional.


    The Brazilian team did not start their aggressive attack in the second half. I don''t know whether to reshape the team''s tacit understanding and rhythm, or to fear England.


    In the first 5 minutes of this overtime, the scene was calm and calm. The England team spent more than 3 minutes on the backcourt. The Brazilian team attacked symbolically twice and failed to return.


    After 5 minutes, Scolari glanced at Aldridge, who had become silent and cold at this time, and it was unclear what tactic the opponent had arranged for England.


    Look at that posture in the backcourt, it''s a waste of time and penalties.


    Penalties, penalty kicks, Scolari willing to kick penalties? Brazil happy to sit at the roulette table?


    The Brazilian team obviously started to exert force bit by bit, and the formation gradually pressed up.


    The whole team of the England team is united, and it is still in a deadly posture.


    Not only were the audience nervous, but the players on the court did not dare to take it lightly.


    The players on the English team remember Aldridge''s advice deeply.


    The last stroke in England was not to fight if you wanted to. It depends on Brazil''s complexion.


    First, there must be conditions for counterattack.


    Second, the opponent must return to the aggressive attack in the second half.


    The first two conditions alone must be patient, observe the situation on the field, and then respond.


    In the 7th minute of overtime, the offensive posture of the Brazilian team was reshaped. Rivaldo and Cafu made an in-between after making a match on the right. He cooperated with Kleberson again to try to penetrate through the depth. Going to the front of the penalty area, it was a pity that the ball returned to him by Kleberson was intercepted by Lampard and fell to the ground. Bart stepped forward to control the ball. When Rivaldo turned back to grab, Bart passed the ball to Scholes running forward.


    The Brazil team has no fixed midfielder, and the England team''s dense midfielder formation has a ball control advantage in this area. Scholes has no one to rush, but he does not rush to pass the ball.


    At this time, Aldridge''s complexion on the sidelines suddenly changed, and his voice could be heard even by the fans in the nearby stands.


    "Chong! Chong! Chong!"


    The color of Scola changed dramatically.


    On the field, the situation changes suddenly!


    Lampard, who climbed from the ground, Beckham on the other side, Waist Bart, fullbacks Ashley Cole, Mills, all rushed forward!


    Not to mention McManaman and Owen in advance, like two arrows blasting forward!


    From the second half, the whole England was suppressed. At this time, the Three Lions Legion, just like a few lions struggling forward, more effort, towards the Brazilian team''s full half of the fight!


    1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7!


    Scolari watched the number of players who were rushing forward at full speed in England''s front, center and back three lines!


    He didn''t have time at this moment to observe Aldridge, who was breathing heavily and showing his face not far away!


    Penalties?


    Go **** penalties!


    Even if I die, I must die!


    The strongest Brazil, the 30-minute overtime is too long, who eventually advances to the Yokohama finals, this is an attack!


    Either you died or I died!

 Chapter 869： Crazy blow!

    Whether it is the golden ball system or the silver ball system, it has not finally become the mainstream competition rule in football. Naturally, it comes from the consideration of various pros and cons. Golden **** and silver **** are just a flash in the pan.


    This World Cup is to use the golden ball system, and the golden ball system can be called the sudden death method, which will confuse or interfere with the team''s thinking, because people will always leave a retreat for themselves, and if there is a retreat, they feel that they are still in comfort.


    There is a penalty shootout behind overtime.


    Despite the fear that the penalty shootout is an undisclosed secret, the strong teams are no exception. Think about the Danish fairy tale and think of the Argentina who won the runner-up after only scoring 5 goals in the World Cup. How many strong teams did the penalty shootouts bury?


    But even so, there is a bit of a ball fight, if you don''t lose in overtime, there is still hope, and this is the last and last retreat.


    But with the golden ball system, the penalty shootout became a question mark.


    Aldrich''s fight this time can be called a coincidence, and he follows the trend.


    If there is no golden ball system, he dare not fight so hard!


    Because in the eyes of fans watching this game all over the world, England is not fighting, it is completely dying!


    The audience at the Saitama World Cup Stadium experienced a deeper experience, overlooking from the stands, the overall formation of England that had originally shrunk in the second half, burst forward almost at the same time!


    Majestic and magnificent!


    It looks like they were 10 people who abandoned Seaman, and then all killed like a death team to the Brazilian team''s half.


    How can he **** football?


    can!


    In the "Ancient" period, when the 127 formation was still the mainstream, football played like this!


    The England team''s third line hit forward, but the football did not move forward and was still at Scholes''s feet.


    The Brazilian team instantly saw the opponent rushing across the border like a locust, and they were shocked without being scared!


    At this time they only have four defenders. Kafu has just assisted and is now retreating at full speed. Carlos'' position is directly back to the defense without delaying the effort.


    Arrow Owen directly killed Lucio and Junior''s ribs.


    McManaman also leaned over to run, looking to force the free space behind Cafu''s assists.


    Although the Brazilian defender line leaned slightly over there, he did not dare to over-invest. On the Carlos side, Beckham has rushed to the full-back area.


    Who knows if England is playing around?


    Kleberson''s scalp numb, he chose to retreat directly, not only Lampard rushed up, even the back waist **** rushed forward from the left side of the middle road!


    He thought about it. Fortunately, Kafu retreated quickly, and he also withdrew. At least in terms of numbers, he and Cafu could block Lampard and Bart on this side.


    The players who rushed up in England, Ashley Cole and Mills.


    They are like sprinters, just rushing, not braking at all, and the Brazilian team doesn''t think about these in a short time, just think that their minds are exploding now, and the opponent has too many offensive points after halftime!


    Zone defense or man-to-man defense?


    Definitely regional defense is important!


    Mark-to-man defense, they are not enough one-on-one.


    When the Brazilian trident responded in the frontcourt, it was too late. At least, they could not form an effective defense against the England attack.


    Scholes only started to dribble forward when Ashley Cole and Mills ran to the center line.


    At this time, **** head is the most critical person. If he lost the ball, the England team immediately walked into the grave.


    Silva is in front of Scholes. It seems that Silva intends to intercept Scholes.


    The **** head is not sticky, so calmly gently tap the ball horizontally.


    With the England players next to him, Silva was shocked!


    Southgate!


    That''s right, why did the Trident realize that it was going back?


    Because they were directly hung in the offside position, a large empty offside position!


    Southgate took the ball forward and crossed the center line directly!


    Ferdinand is in the back right of him, but he has not crossed the center line, he keeps in mind the task Aldridge has given him.


    He is the last defensive player.


    This last, not only refers to the position last, it can be said that he will be the only defensive player.


    If the England team''s fighting attack died halfway, in the event that the Brazilian team seeks a quick counterattack, Ferdinand is the offender, but if the Brazil team attacks patiently, will Ferdinand be the same? , There is still a trace of protection.


    Southgate continued to take the ball forward, Silva hesitated to withdraw, but also playing an abacus to intercept Southgate, but he just ran two steps, Southgate passed the ball back to Xiang Scholes opened the distance from Silva!


    This is not a particularly clean two-on-one, because Silva has not completely passed, the other side still has the opportunity to remedy the defense.


    However, Scholes only took two steps forward, at this time, the situation in the frontcourt is already very clear!


    English troops are concentrated on the left.


    Owen, McManaman, Lampard, Bart, four people forced the left half of the Argentine defender line.


    Cafu, Kleberson, and Junior, there are only three of them, and Lucio is slightly closer to this side. He can''t lose the position of the middle road.


    Scholes made another horizontal pass before Silva approached, but not for Southgate, but passed the ball to the left front waist area.


    Ashley Cole just arrived!


    After the pass, Scholes pushed forward decisively, and together with Beckham, they pressed Carlos and Ed Millson''s defense zone, and went with Scholes to kill, and Mills!


    Brazil''s back line trembles completely!


    Never seen a team play like this, never!


    Even Scolari was going crazy, and wanted to hysterically scream at Aldridge: "How can you be so crazy?"


    Aldridge''s layout of this attack is absolutely crazy, but there will never be any coach to follow suit. Apart from courage, there is nothing to be appreciated!


    The golden ball system gave Aldridge a chance to expose all his life points to his opponent, but before the opponent stabbed to death in England, he had to withstand the strong kill of the Three Lions!


    Yes, there is no escape route, there is no escape route!


    Either you died or I died!


    Aldridge didn¡¯t want to be killed by Brazil¡¯s warm water, and the England team couldn¡¯t sustain the 30-minute overtime.


    He didn''t want to fight back with a tickling boot, useless!


    This blow is the final matchup of the game.


    The rushing England, if they fail, they may not even have the physical ability to return to defense.


    In the layout of this crazy counterattack last stroke, some players just simply run positions, just run, and form a pin, for example, Mills, this is foreseeable!


    But some characters that Brazil team cannot ignore have also become Aldridge''s blind eyes, for example, Beckham! For example, Owen!


    The two stars do not take on other tasks, they are to contain, as long as they run to the position and harass.


    The real killer, the one who really wants to get the final word, must be someone the opponent can''t think of, and it must be a player that the opponent won''t put on No. 1 or No. 2!


    Just as the England team lists aliens and Rivaldo as the first and second most focused players, why? Because they scored many goals, Ronaldinho''s threats were obvious, but Ronaldinho was farther away from the goal than the first two players. This was how Ronaldinho scored the goal under the cover of the first two.


    If even the No. 1 threatened person cannot stare at death, England''s defensive counterattack is a joke.


    In turn, in the eyes of Brazil, who is the number one threat to England?


    Owen deserved to be the first person, because he is a single forward, at the same time, he is also the player who broke the game.


    What about number two?


    It may be Scholes, Ginger Head ranked second in the team in this competition, and Lampard also scored a lot. Beckham¡¯s gold right foot may be determined by one foot.


    Aldrich will not complicate the offensive routine, it will not be N people who pass from one to another, and then specify who will solve the battle.


    The core of this counterattack is two or three people. Scholes retreats, which is to control the overall situation. Almost all the teams are pressed up. Half of them are only running positions to intimidate and harass the opponent¡¯s mark. The most important offensive point , Irving, Beckham, are not responsible for the offensive task of the ball, the offensive transition depends on two people, one is Southgate, the other is the follow-up echelon Ashley Cole.


    The Terminator, there are only two, either Lampard, or McManaman, who had not scored a goal before.


    This cannot be fixed, and can only be adjusted according to the situation.


    Scholes'' strong pressure on the right side of the penalty area was just a cover for attracting defense. Lucio leaned slightly towards Scholes from the other side.


    England''s offensive tactics are rampant this time, and Brazil''s defense is in a panic.


    McManaman first pressed the left with Lampard, which is to see the space after Cafu''s assists went up. There is more space on this side!


    Now, Ashley Cole assists, catches the ball in the left area of ??the front waist, Kleberson comes up to block, Ashley Cole is watching the teammates run before receiving the ball, he knows that the ball To whom to pass, choose one of the two, the person with the better chance appears in front of him, he will pass the ball!


    At the beginning, Lampard ran out of position and did not get out of position. This is the limitation of his inexperience.


    McManaman ran out of the empty space in the gap blocked by Kleberson.


    Ashley Cole tipped the ball to the right front, the ball rolled towards the middle of the front of the penalty area of ??the Brazilian team, McManaman ran from left to right, just received, and took a careful step forward, the speed was obviously slowed down, It is to control the ball steadily.


    Lucio rushed in front of McManaman immediately after swinging left and right. Seeing McManaman raise his foot to shoot, he directly chose to shovel over and intercepted frontally!


    However, when the person who lost the center of gravity slipped across the ground, the iron guard Lucio was stunned, and his eyes were full of horror!


    Poodle dog McManaman actually made a fake move!


    He didn''t shoot!


    When Lucio slipped a shovel from a meter in front of him, McManaman seized the golden opportunity and slid the ball to the goal at a slight angle!


    In this trip, the entire back line of the Brazilian team was traversed. Although the angle with the goal was not too correct, McManaman could not care too much.


    Don''t be nervous, don''t tremble, don''t miss, don''t let anyone expecting you down again!


    McManaman did not give Ed Milson the opportunity to put a shovel on the red card penalty. He glanced at the goal and Marcos''s position.


    Tired to the point that his calf seems to be trembling, he endured the body''s soreness, his teeth clenched with determination, his left foot supported, strong and stable body, his right leg lifted up, exhausted all the strength of the body, cast a foot Burst shot!


    After this shot, McManaman was unable to support his body anymore, but even when it rolled over, his eyes still looked at the goal of the Brazil team.


    His quiet eyes burst into joy and excitement. He saw Marcos wholeheartedly blocked the near corner of the goal, and he shot the ball towards the far corner of the goal. No one could save it within the goal!


    He wanted to turn his head to visit Aldridge for the first time. When facing him, he said, "Boss, I didn''t let you down?"


    The poodle dog made the Three Lions reach the World Cup final again after 36 years!

 Chapter 870： Winner

    The first half of the Brazil-England Battle of England was generally evenly divided, and they were equally matched. England purposefully created pressure on the opponent''s defense and seized the opponent''s mistakes to move to the next city first.


    In the second half of England, there is no lion''s character. It is more like a poor kitten who can only protect his head and endure the beating of his opponent. At most, he just stretches his claws and scratches his opponent, and he has to pay his own price. The yellow card can be described as shocking. Even so, it still can''t stop the opponent''s strong attack, and eventually loses the good situation, the situation has turned sharply!


    When people watching the world thought that England¡¯s fate was hanging, at best it was destined to stand on the roulette of the penalty shootout, the bruised wild cat in the second half suddenly turned into a wild beast and a monster that had never been seen before. The sense of suffocation brought about by the pressure is only momentary, but it is unforgettable!


    When McManaman scored his first goal of the World Cup, many audiences, whether in the stands or in front of the TV, were speechless and shocked and could not be more shocked!


    The England team made a magnificent offensive with great momentum. Although it was only possible for about 10 seconds, it changed the fate of England and Brazil. The poodle crossed the slippery shovel and intercepted Lucy. Austria, kicking the shot at the far corner of the goal, put an end to this pinnacle contest, which made many people unsatisfied.


    I haven¡¯t seen the Brazilian team in overtime, but I want to see if the England team can continue to interpret the domineering offensive momentum of the mountains and rivers. Everything is in the golden ball rule, no longer. Only the thoughts of countless people have been left, whether it is sighing or sadness, history is born at this moment: On the evening of June 26, 2002, the England team overtime with the McManaman scored the golden ball to eliminate the Brazil team and advance to the final , Meeting with rival Germany in Yokohama!


    Saitama World Cup Stadium.


    After McManaman scored, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the match.


    The atmosphere of the stands of the entire stadium was divided into two, half the sea and half the flame.


    The Brazilian fans are sad and tears are flowing.


    England fans roared wildly, reveled, waved their arms, the young couple hugged, kissed...


    In the live commentary room in England, Martin Taylor continued to shout England, Andy Gray jumped directly from the seat, ran around the small commentary room, and even pulled a female colleague to dance a funny dance step, gentle and gentle Inkel laughed loudly, so proud...


    On the court, the England team came off the bench and the coaches rushed into the court.


    Without feeling the horror of suffocation, I can''t understand the excitement and excitement of defeating my opponent at this moment.


    The 26-year-old young coach rushed into the court, kneeling on his knees, sliding five meters, and then surrounded by players and coaches, folded up Luohan.


    The Samba team that lost the final ticket has not yet revived. Except for Lucio and Marcos lying on the turf, the others stood on the spot with their arms crossed, dull, and they didn''t seem to understand what happened.


    what happened?


    what happened?


    In the last wave of England offensive, 9 people overwhelmed the half, except for Southgate, the other 8 people surrounded the penalty area of ??Brazil!


    Have you ever seen such a football?


    Ever seen such a crazy counterattack?


    No!


    Today, I opened my eyes and lost the most important game!


    Scolari bowed his head, the game was over, and in fact there was nothing to think about.


    But he mumbled to himself: "I can''t think of it, I can''t figure it out!"


    For this game, he spent a lot of painstaking research on England. He spent the night studying England¡¯s previous five games, trying to understand the essence of England¡¯s counterattack in every game.


    In this game, the Brazilian team has actually done a good job. The magical counterattack that England has played before hasn''t even played 50%.


    But perhaps it was to deliberately limit, but because of a small loss, the Brazilian team failed to play the best state in the first half, it was from here, and it was corrected in time in the second half, everything seemed to be in control.


    In overtime, the Brazilian team is about to exert its strength and is about to take another peak offensive to crush England. What opportunities does England have? Absolutely not!


    At the end of the second half, the price of 9 yellow cards seemed to be dying.


    Wow!


    Looking at the world, who can be as decisive as the young marshal, and retreat in a self-cutting way so that he really has to let go!


    And the method used is so extreme.


    There is only one chance, only this time.


    It cannot be used in regular games, because even if it is done, there is still time for Brazil.


    They were only slowed down before the overtime game, and the young commander was given an impeccable layout for this counterattack. There was also the **** golden ball system!


    Without the golden ball system, what if the Brazil team is now scored? With more than 20 minutes left, nine of the England team were yellowed and their physical fitness was nearly exhausted. The Brazilian team did not say to equalize the score and there is great hope for even two goals to reverse!


    Scolari raised his head and set his sights on the young commander crowded in the field.


    I couldn''t help but sigh in my heart: really **** a memorable figure.


    Sword walks off the wing, not to mention, so desperately fighting, and his mother''s bet won!


    In this world, I''m afraid I can''t find a second football coach who will be so crazy.


    Heaven while hell.


    England is going to Yokohama, Brazil is going to Daegu.


    Scolari was full of bitterness at this time, but there was not much unwillingness, and later realized that if I throw away all concerns from the beginning, I am afraid that the battle has been resolved in 90 minutes.


    Lost injustice?


    Is there any reason to call Qu?


    He walked into the court and began to comfort his disciples.


    Aldridge hugged Bart and Ferdinand respectively.


    The next two games will be suspended. The men who missed the World Cup finals are more excited than anyone, more excited than anyone else, but when Aldridge hugged them, the two almost burst into tears.


    World Cup final!


    The dream of a lifetime is so close, but it can only be seen from a distance.


    Ronaldinho looked up at the night sky with his hands on his hips, the English people''s crazy celebration sound lingered in his ears, but he seemed to be in a lonely state isolated from the world.


    The hustle and bustle is gone, and all are silent, just looking at the clear night sky, a sky more worthy of appreciation than London.


    The chance to reach the top of the ball disappeared, and the Hercules Cup went away.


    Ronaldinho suddenly twitched his lips, as if laughing.


    I thought of England''s last overwhelming shock.


    What a boss''s style.


    With one shoulder wrapped around him, Ronaldinho turned his head and saw a familiar face.


    "Do you blame me?"


    Ronaldinho shook his head and said: "If you lose, you lose, although if you are not the coach of England, Brazil should have no problem, but since you are, and England has won, there is nothing to complain about, if you try again , Even if your England won by Brazil, and eventually won the finals, but what does that mean? The world is the strongest?"


    Aldrich pondered carefully and said, "This is really like a mad lion."


    "Who made me a crazy lion? The coach said every day, isn''t that all? Football, not the strong wins, the winner is strong, the loser is the loser, what kind of ball do you play? Just go to the column to be a ball critic."


    Ronaldinho also hugged Aldridge''s shoulders, the apprentice in the club, the enemy in the World Cup. This scene made all the reporters rush to shoot at the place three meters away in front of the two.


    The two have long been accustomed to this kind of scene, and in the eyes of others, this scene has too much intriguing meaning.


    Aldrich has long been included in the legend, Ronaldinho, only to be king.


    Whoever goes to Yokohama will win a higher position in history.


    Although it is a bit cruel, it is the reality. Aldridge led England to the finals. Ronaldinho is still the hotspot of this year¡¯s Golden Globes, but missed the best chance to crown the king.


    "Are you sorry?"


    "Since the start of the World Cup, every time. Thierry agreed with me last month to meet in Yokohama. As a result, he left very early. I thought I had the opportunity to meet Bernd directly after four days. Unexpectedly, now, there is no chance, but fortunately, watching you go to Yokohama, I am happy to win or lose, you win, congratulations, you lose, joke die you, ha ha ha."


    Aldrich raised his mouth, and there was a sense of relief in his heart. He watched Ronaldinho grow up, especially the day when he defeated Munich. Roaring Ronaldinho really grew up overnight, and his mind was more mature.


    Ronaldinho suddenly said: "Although I don''t hate anything, I finally lost a final ticket. The World Cup final, not the League Cup final, Henrik, Bernd, they will definitely feel aggrieved against you. Feeling of betrayal, hey, I should always get something back from you as compensation?"


    Aldridge laughed dumbly and asked, "What do you say about me?"


    Ronaldinho opened his mouth and said, "Robbery! I haven''t seen the new contract that the club gave me. Before, it was 50,000 weekly salary. Now I want 70,000!"


    Aldrich shook his head and walked away, Ronaldinho shouted: "Don''t be stingy, 69, 68,000, 65,000 is all right? Aldridge! Anyway, I am a Millwall account! You can''t cool my heart!"


    Aldridge stopped and turned around, looking at Ronaldinho weirdly and asking, "Are you really not looking at the new contract?"


    Ronaldinho suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Did you give 70,000? What a coincidence? Then add 10,000! Give Laozi 80,000 weekly salary! The highest team, I want to be the boss!"


    Aldridge didn''t say a word, looked at Ronaldinho with a smile, and looked at Ronaldinho in his heart: wouldn''t it make his head angry?


    "That, just a joke..."


    Aldridge left after leaving a sentence.


    "You should have the consciousness to be the boss of the mad lion!"


    Ronaldinho is confused again, what exactly does it mean?


    On this day, England was full of bars, celebrating England''s progress to the final.


    This night, Ronaldinho was informed by his agent Andrew that Millwall had prepared a new contract for him before the World Cup. The weekly salary was 100,000 pounds plus loyalty rewards, which was equal to the salary of the three captains in the team and ranked the top salary in the team.


    The top 32 is competing against the world. After fighting for a month, the blood-stained World Cup has come to the end.

 Chapter 871： The end of the journey

    "36 years of waiting, the dream is about to come true!"


    "McManaman won the golden ball! The Three Lions advance into Yokohama!"


    "As soon as the tiger swallowed thousands of miles, England moved nine days!"


    ...


    The battle report was flying, the Great Britain and Pakistan war spread all over the world, and the evaluation of the two teams was mixed.


    Some people think that Brazil has played the pinnacle of offensive football. Although it is still a glorious defeat, some people think that England¡¯s goal in the second half by delaying and foul tactics into overtime goals is indispensable. It will become the mainstream of football in the future, some people think...


    This is often the case with football. It is not the best to play, or the one that matches the values ??of more people must win!


    The uncrowned king of Holland can win the hearts of countless fans in the world, but can not get a Hercules Cup.


    The team above the cusp, whether winning or losing, can''t escape. Some people scolded their ears on the left and scolded their cheeks on the right, admiring their obsession.


    When a team has a significant change, it is easiest to highlight the head coach. The most intuitive of this change is the record, followed by technical tactics. Even if the often-winning general has changed the technical tactics, as long as he is still in victory, the main The role of the coach is not obvious, but the team changes from strong to weak, from weak to strong, and the ups and downs of the record will be the most easy time for the head coach to become the focus.


    In the past, England had a slightly rigid 442, and the record has always been high. Who is the head coach? It seems that it is rarely remembered by the outside world.


    And now in England, not only is the record soaring, but the technical and tactical play is full of new colors. Aldridge can¡¯t be ignored or criticized.


    Those who attacked him were nothing more than being handsome. They also became utilitarian, and they only became shrinking, even shamelessly allowing players to use foul fouls.


    Those who admire him will analyze the efforts of the head coach in the contest between England and Brazil. Whether it is the first half of the match, or the grandeur of the final goal, it is all talked about.


    This is the obvious Aldrich color, less handsome style.


    Not necessarily fixed in the framework of defense or offense, but there are always surprises.


    The overall anti-reaction has become a hot topic in the outside world. Among them, the flexible changes in the counter-attack routine, the use of changing forwards, and the 9 people who may never appear again will have a full blow at halftime. In short, it has given supporters and The basis of the attacker theory.


    McManaman became a hero, and the British football program made a huge analysis of the offense that scored in overtime, combined with Aldridge¡¯s tactics before the overtime game with the team¡¯s heads, without having to find Audrey Qi confirmed that the outside world knew that such a terrific and generous effort must have come from the deployment at that time.


    Critics from various fields, famous places have come out to explain the analysis, it seems to be mysterious and mysterious, like this attack no matter from the opportunity appears, develops, ends, the entire process includes the right people and clouds.


    But Woodward, the coach of the England Rugby National Team, explained the essence in a concise way, which made the outside audience have a feeling of seeing the sky: "If the last offensive in England is seen as a rugby match, football becomes rugby, players use their feet and Isn¡¯t it easier to understand by hand? Aldrich Hall should probably consider switching to a football coach, I believe he will also be able to achieve great success."


    Listen to those who are interested, and feel that this is the truth.


    Positioning, attracting, disturbing, sheltering the wind and rain in the front row and covering the enemy, and orderly attacking in the rear row, seeing the chance is the final word.


    It''s a pity that this is football in the end, no coach will follow the pattern of this offense, football is interrupted, and the offensive and defensive group starts from the static. Football, except for a 45-minute stop, even if the game is interrupted in the rest of the time It may return the formation of both sides to the original static. In a mobile game, how can each attack be as crazy as the football?


    However, in connection with Woodward''s words, the support of outsiders for Aldridge has taken it to a higher level.


    Look, all the young masters have been used in football matches from stealing football!


    The England team left Tokyo on the evening of the semifinals. Four days later, the final will be staged in Yokohama. They went to Yokohama in advance. The German team has arrived in Yokohama on this day.


    Aldridge did not reunite with her family, Melanie came to Japan, and went around with her two sons.


    In the preparation for the World Cup finals in Yokohama, the England players were extremely serious on the training ground. At rest, they sat on the court in groups of three or five. On the first day, everyone¡¯s expressions were a little dazed, and probably thought everything was not true. Two days is much better, cheer for each other, although there is not much talk, but all are united.


    Ferdinand and Bart, who missed the finals, still participated in the training, but the two were obviously different from others, as if it was easier than the bench. Of course, they could not make it to the finals.


    At the same time, Ferdinand was caught in the transfer rumors again. Leeds United couldn''t help but sell him to cash out. The situation was forced, there was no way, lack of money to pay the debt.


    At the same time, there was news from England that because of disagreements over the transfer of Ferdinand, Leeds United coach O''Leary and Leeds United chairman Ritzdale fell over and left the mark!


    Ferdinand is about to be sold is a matter of finality. Anyway, his World Cup is basically over. After the third day of training, he privately found Audridge and had some discussions, suggesting that he wanted to transfer back to Millwall Aldrich''s pretense didn''t understand his hints, and he didn''t make any statement. In fact, Ferdinand knew that he could no longer return to Millwall. How could Aldrich not understand?


    In the resignation of O''Reilly and Ferdinand''s intention to return to Millwall, Aldrich always felt that these two were not kind.


    Without O''Reilly''s demands and promises, will Ritzdale bet on the future of Leeds United in recent years?


    After losing the bet, O''Reilly patted her **** and left, leaving a mess for White Rose. That''s it, and the media said that O''Reilly retired.


    Ferdinand was not kind. At first, if he wanted to go, he saw Millwall sold Materazzi. The central defender needed to make up, so he came to recommend himself.


    If he wasn¡¯t Millwall out, Aldridge said he would take him to the Lion King Stadium.


    But Millwall is no longer the place where he wants to come and go, whether it is a giant''s shelf or Aldridge''s own face that doesn''t know a few cents. Anyway, he doesn''t want Ferdinand. There are so many good defenders in the world. , Millwall wants to dig people, want fame and fame, want money and money, afraid of not buying people?


    June 29.


    Aldrich attended the World Cup final press conference. A few days ago, the city was full of uproar and hot topics. Now it seems that all reporters are no longer picky and provocative.


    The press conference was organized, and it was normal.


    "The German team was originally a team with excellent physical fitness. In the process of their promotion, this feature obviously made an important contribution to their win. The English team played overtime. Although it is not long, it is better than the German team. One day less rest, indeed, the German team will have a certain advantage in physical fitness, but I think of the World Cup finals, the impact of physical fitness has become very small, and willpower is the most important. In this regard, the German team is world-renowned, I believe in England The team will use their willpower not to lose to the German team to enter the game."


    "Balak''s absence is good news for us. Without Barak, the German team cannot come to the final. He is too important for the German team. He is the soul of the team, but he still said that if he despised Germany Team, the opposing team¡¯s willpower will make England regret. We also have two players who are unable to play. They are sad. The reality is cruel to them, but their teammates will use victory to comfort their regrets as much as possible."


    ...


    In the evening, in Osaka, the Brazilian team that failed to advance to the final was fully fired. The South Korean team that fought locally probably wanted to compete for a third place and played very unrestrained.


    6:0.


    The 3R combination turned the Korean Tai Chi Tiger into a pet cat, and it was free to be manipulated. Hiddink did not disdain Audridge''s intensive defense before the game. The Dutch coach''s natural attack factor made the Asian Red Devils lose vigorously.


    There will be no suspense for the aliens to pick the best shooter in this World Cup. He has scored 9 goals in 7 games, which not only broke the World Cup''s goal score of the best shooter in more than 20 years, but also put the shooter on the list. Klose, who ranked second, opened the gap of four goals.


    Can Klose play his senior season in England?


    Unless England''s defense is paper-backed, Saudi Arabia has only allowed him to score three. England really wants Klose to score four goals, preferring to believe that tomorrow will be the end of the world.


    Ronaldinho also got a laurel of data through excellent performance, assisting the king, he also has 9 assists.


    At the end of the third place, if the samba legion''s gorgeous performance is to be scored, it should be at least 90 points, a difference of 10 points. Among them is the adjustment of their group stage, which is not perfect, and there is the regret of not being able to reach the finals.


    But in any case, in this World Cup, the two sides of the ice and fire, the enthusiastic Samba team pushed the offensive football to a peak in recent years, and the ruthless Three Lions team sublimated the anti-anti-philosophy, but the opposite Reaching the same goal with the same goal, the highest pursuit of balance between offense and defense has been perfectly presented on the two teams. Perhaps 10 more matches, the Brazil team has a greater win, and England can¡¯t keep up with each other several times, but in Saitama¡¯s semifinals. It was England who finally laughed to the end.


    June 30, 2002.


    As evening approached, Aldridge sat in the bus and led the Three Lions to the Yokohama International Stadium.


    Looking at the retrogressive scenery outside the window, you can see a variety of fans, you can see the new look brought by the World Cup, and you can feel the charm of football in the crowd.


    His face was calm, but his mind was full of thoughts.


    The World Cup has come to the end. The end of this trip is right in front of the smoky Asian World Cup. The heroes compete for the final. The final battle entered the countdown, England vs Germany.


    This pair of enemies described by the outside world is just that in the past 100 years, German bombers have made half of London into ruins. In 66 years, Germany encountered an unsolved case. England won the Hercules Cup for the first time, and then, after more than 30 years, it defeated Germany. Nowadays The European political economy, Germany is playing against the United Kingdom in the EU, the pound and the euro are impacting each other, piled one by one, intertwined with each other, endless grievances, subtle and unclear subtleties.


    Rivals?


    Absolutely not. Germany is overlooking England. The league does not mean that the national team is strong. Germany is a veteran strong team full of medals of honor. England is actually a paper tiger. If the German team regards the English team as a rival, it is too good. It¡¯s too much to lose identity.


    No matter how the outside media speculates about this British-German war, England can¡¯t be proud. Even if the last battle against Germany was slaughtered away, and Germany came to the finals with controversy, there are souls who can¡¯t enter the game. Lor was not half relaxed at the moment, and it might be good to be careful with thin ice. Aldrich led the three-lion legion of South America¡¯s two males to compete with the German chariot for the world''s first. On the other hand, the two teams are minimally affected by the outside world.


    Before dark, Germany and England both arrived at Yokohama International Stadium. The World Cup is held every four years. The final peak match is about to begin.

 Chapter 872： finals

    Beckham had an awkward relationship with his star wife.


    Before the World Cup finals, the enthusiasm of the entire agent team made such a suggestion: change hair style.


    Beckham''s hairstyle is already the focus of the outside world''s chase, and even had a conflict with Ferguson. At that time, he went to training and wore a hat, and he would not take it off even after the game. Even before the game, he still refused to take it off, irritated. After the Lord, the old Scottish man rushed straight to slap his hat, and then the old Scottish man laughed himself.


    Because Beckham was so wild, he shaved a big bald head for the first time!


    What''s so good about bald head?


    As far as the professional area of ??hair stylists is concerned, there is nothing to evaluate.


    But it''s just that Beckham once again made headlines on the major media of Fleet Street. This is the creative victory of packaging.


    Beckham''s Mosigan hairstyle has started to become popular all over the world in this competition. You can see a lot of small young imitators in Japan. Without the mystery before, it is the most simple and handsome.


    If Beckham suddenly changed her hairstyle in the World Cup finals, this will definitely highlight Beckham¡¯s presence, which is beyond the competitive field. Originally, Beckham¡¯s superstar aura is not completely sourced from competition. This is consistent with his personal value.


    However, Beckham did not agree with the proposal of Victoria and the agent team, did not change the hairstyle.


    Victoria was faintly angry on the phone, and finally said: "If you are afraid of Aldridge, if he is angry, I''ll go to pay him offense, won''t it?"


    Beckham hung up the phone, and by this morning, Victoria sent him a text message, and the couple were back together again.


    Beckham, who is warming up at the Yokohama International Stadium, has a serious expression. If he is afraid of Aldridge, he is really afraid. Just ask, who is not afraid of the England team?


    But not just afraid, but also sincere respect, this is awe.


    The national team will communicate with the players separately during each training session. It seems to be just a chat, talk about the players¡¯ club performance in the past, talk about the evaluation of the players¡¯ performance, give pointers to one or two, perform well, keep improving, and perform Poor, long-term focus and motivation.


    Often Aldridge¡¯s understatement contains his hard work on the national team.


    A little mistake in the league half a month ago, the player didn''t remember it himself, but Aldridge said it lightly, and then made some suggestions for the purpose. The player listened and listened, waiting to calm down and then think about it. At times, it is inevitable that you will not think about it: this young coach follows how detailed the player''s performance is in order to understand these things that he has forgotten?


    The internationals are scattered in different teams, follow up and observe to understand their status and performance, not to mention repeated study of the game, at least to go through the 90-minute game video normally, even if you watch it fast or slow, you have to talk less After an hour of analysis and summary, how much time and thought has the coach paid?


    These, after a year and a half, the Thunder can''t move, and it has become a practice. After accustomed to the work style of Aldridge, the players have to say that they are sincerely convinced by the young handsome.


    Beckham is most grateful to two people in his life, one is Ferguson, and his teacher is like a father. Especially after 98, he supported him to protect him, and the other is Victoria. I think when he was famous in England, the hot girl group was creating a record miracle for the female band. His fame is naturally not as good as the hot girls who were popular in Europe and America at that time, but this woman never gave up on him. It was also 98 years, the lowest point in his life, and even when he was abandoned by the vast majority of people, Beckham got the most from her. The spiritual care and support needed.


    Beckham, a superstar, plays football, listens to Ferguson, makes money, listens to his wife.


    As Wenger would sigh in confusion: What does Anelka need for so much money?


    The reason why Ferguson and Victoria grabbed Beckham was the same. It was nothing more than that one wanted Beckham to play football with one heart, and the other felt that he couldn''t just play football.


    Beckham was sometimes embarrassed to be caught in the middle, and was angered by Ferguson for participating in commercial activities. It was commonplace and excusable.


    Victoria is very clever, knowing that Beckham is famous for playing football, but there are also some grievances, the World Cup finals change hair style, her husband can be hotter, and does not affect the football, the young coach who said one thing is no longer cruel, after the World Cup, it is not necessary Resigned? In this last game, do you have to change the hairstyle with the players and get through?


    Victoria couldn''t understand it, but he knew that he still had to stand on Beckham''s side at this time, so he took the initiative to apologize and let Beckham concentrate on the final battle of the World Cup.


    The reason why Xiaobei hung up the phone didn''t explain, because the explanation was useless. She didn''t understand, she didn''t understand, she didn''t understand, she didn''t understand.


    It is simple to change the hairstyle and make a splash, but in the England national team, what is the prestige of his deputy captain?


    36 years of waiting, that is the countless eyes of all the English people looking, and his heart is expecting. At this time, he will show his own limelight again. Isn''t it self-interest to ignore the overall situation?


    Afraid of Aldridge?


    Is there any fear that the other party will blame for changing the hairstyle?


    Beckham is more afraid of himself.


    Fearing that he can''t face teammates fighting side by side, he can''t face a coach who silently pays more than ordinary people imagine.


    Even if Aldridge roared to him like he was in the shabby locker room of the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium seven years ago, he didn¡¯t think there was any problem, but he was afraid that the young master would ignore him directly without saying a word, he was afraid of life and death The brothers who came hand in hand during the war secretly looked at his haircut with that kind of distance.


    Wearing England''s jersey, playing for the country, driven by the young commander, and a group of hard-working teammates, they may not be shocked to be gorgeous, not necessarily famous in the world, but such a team, step by step, from the world preliminaries The bottom of the ladder climbed up, from the edge of the missed World Cup to the World Cup, advanced from the death group, escaped from the terrorist threat of the devil-like Brazil team, never looked optimistic and became a hot topic to win the championship, standing in the World Cup On the final stage!


    Beckham can follow Victoria¡¯s suggestion to be a craze, to be the world¡¯s largest commercial value superstar, but today, he just wants to be a Beckham who concentrates on playing football, because he has to cherish such opportunities, cannot I can''t live up to the hardship of the young commander, I can''t live up to the efforts of my teammates, and I can''t live up to Bart sitting in the last row of the bus against the window that night after defeating Brazil. With red eyes and tears, I can''t stop falling...


    Few people remember that Bart was a member of England who won the U18 European Championship 9 years ago. In a blink of an eye, 9 years later, Bart was praised and expected, but after all, the competition is not as fierce as Roy. Keen, this is the case for players. The key age group is crushed. Perhaps, there is no possibility of turning over in a lifetime. Trees move people to death. It is common in football. But Bart, who has been at Manchester United, has been 27 this year. Years old, vaguely remember the tremendous battle in Barcelona in 1999, the lack of major general Manchester sent Bart and Beckham to guard the middle road, despite the embarrassment, but still let the Bayern Munich scored only one goal, this was the miracle behind reverse.


    In the 2002 World Cup, Bart''s most brilliant trip of his life, only 5 games, has ended. In another four years, the 31-year-old will not be able to stay in the England team anyway, because the England team is a midfield engineer. The player is really talented. If Scholes is a technical player, there may be competition, but he is not.


    In the last game, he can only be a spectator, hoping that the team can make this trip a perfect ending.


    Ashley Cole, Lampard, Owen, and the three are all ambitious for bullfighting, they are young, they have a future, but this world is known to fight against Germany as soon as possible, the best mentality, maybe We must count these three people, and weeded out all our worries, just to uncover the ambition to extract the glory and glory, and then rule the world and let the world remember their names in their hearts!


    Southgate and Seaman are passing each other. The two oldest players seem to be old-fashioned. Seaman is not too confused. His ability to withstand pressure is naturally better than that of young people. Southgate is the last eight years. Following the marshal''s march to the North and the Northern War, galloping across the Europe, the beautiful scenery, the magnificent tragedy, the pinnacle of everyone''s attention, he has already read the thousands of sails, and his mental tenacity can be seen. There is no regret in his career. If there is any disappointment, just blame I was born a few years earlier, otherwise, if I can be attracted by the commander-in-chief before becoming famous, I am afraid that I can become a loyal person with Ronaldinho''s life as a Ronaldinho.


    Campbell, who will replace Ferdinand''s starting in the final, is also passing each other with Phil Neville to familiarize themselves with the ball.


    This middle defender who defected to Highbury from White Hart Lane and was infamous for his rebellion has been lamenting his bad luck for the past year and a half. You know that he was England''s starting central defender four years ago. Aldridge took office after he took office. A bench substitute, a year and a half ago, he was 26 years old, at the golden age, now, 27 years old, is still at its peak, was suppressed by Southgate, he has nothing to say, but Ferdinand can be squeezed in the bench On the table, how willing was he?


    It''s just that when he reached the World Cup finals, he came back suddenly. This is the pinnacle of the most high-profile finals. He actually came to play the start. Ferdinand is stronger. He is not secretly fighting with the young commander. He is 27 years old. He is also a traitor to North London. How can he be as good as a young man? Aldrich¡¯s authority is really unshakable, fight him? Regardless of whether you win or lose, how much can you claim? By licking the corner of his mouth and biting his teeth, Campbell knew that he won the finals, holding the Hercules Cup, and that he won. Although the young commander will be more prestige, so what? Everyone rejoices!


    Manchester United''s "Mr. Almighty" Phil Neville, from left to right, from the defender to the midfielder, in order for Manchester United to change his position again and again, to contribute his own strength to the team, this substitute came to the World Cup to start The Manchester United player is more low-key than Scholes. The sinners were infamous two years ago, which made him realize that Beckham¡¯s criticism of thousands of people, and the lessons of the past, came to the World Cup. Knowing that he came to play this starter, the England team''s strength has declined slightly. After all, he can''t be compared with Gary Neville. He doesn''t seek merit but seeks nothing. Phil Neville is doing a lot of work. , There is no chance to be in the limelight, although occasionally envious of Ashley Cole can go forward and go forward as if he is in the limelight, but he still has some fears in his heart. Ashley Cole is still young and has no experience. England fans can drown people not only by spitting, but when they are in a hurry, they will really gang up to block your house and make your family feel bad.


    Make no mistake, it''s good. As for whether you can repay the two heart-warming words that the young commander said in the media, do your best.


    Ten years later, fans will say: No one understands the world of gods.


    Sometimes, Aldridge really wants to say: Scholes¡¯ world is really confusing.


    The **** head of this dull gourd warmed up before the finals. It was still that old-fashioned expression and meticulous machine-like movement. It was almost impossible to find when he was exposed and fluctuated. He only followed Audrey who paid attention to the player¡¯s performance for more than a year and a half. Odd, occasionally seeing the **** head coldly came to kick the layman''s tackle, which really caused people to squeeze the sweat.


    Hargreaves stretched his face, obviously tense. Southgate saw his condition and kicked the ball from behind to Hargreaves'' back with a distance of 3-4 meters. There are still some things about Southgate, and he is also a midfielder.


    Hargreaves was dumbfounded and turned to see the captain. He didn''t dare to retaliate, but thought the captain was inadvertently lost, but Southgate had another kick in front of him. Hargreaves was a little dazed until Southgate''s third foot shot. Hargreaves raised his arm to stop it and shouted: "I''m leaning, don''t think you are the captain, I dare not fight back !"


    Southgate chuckled and said, "Come, hit me, get started."


    Hargreaves gently threw the ball forward and shot the ball with a big foot, but Southgate was really shameless, ran long ago, or ran to Seaman, Seaman directly confiscated the ball , Hargreaves was refreshed, a little cold sweat, and his head was hot, he really kicked the ball out of the light, if the captain was hurt, how could he **** this?


    But Southgate laughed loudly and smiled at him: "The feet are so stinky? Come on, come on a few more feet!"


    Hargreaves has come back for the next time. The foot that resented just now seems to let out the breath that was stuffy in the body. The whole person was a lot easier and smiled, and then he started shooting. More energetic.


    When the warm-up for the England team ended, McManaman was the first person to walk towards the player¡¯s passage. He kicked the ball into the stands with a big foot before leaving the field, and did not go to see if anyone was hit, just walked to the player. The whole person looked serious during the passage, his eyes shining brightly.


    The World Cup finals are worth the effort!

 Chapter 873： Not in vain

    Aldridge is sitting in the locker room. This four-year-old multi-purpose stadium is not like a football field like England, so the internal landscape is magnificent, and all kinds of facilities are available to keep up with the development of modern trends. The above is a view of the Yokohama sports field.


    The well-informed Aldridge looked at the brand new furnishings in the locker room. It was only four years later. Naturally, there is no historical heritage. Just like Japanese football, it has just started, and the stupid bird flew back. Ambition.


    This is the case for competitive sports. As small as a club, as large as a country, there is no ambition to compete, no ambition to go to the top, no matter how boastful it is, you can''t enter the room. Only if you really have the heart to fight, will there be a future. Talkable.


    The World Cup finals are in sight, Aldridge is asking himself a question.


    Are your ambitions satisfied?


    I can''t answer it myself, but if I ask myself, what is the current ambition compared to eight years ago?


    There is no controversy in the answer. Naturally, today is not as impressive as it was eight years ago.


    It''s unavoidable, but there is a bit more sour arrogant arrogance, who should I show it to? I don¡¯t know, it¡¯s nothing more than taking the shelf, once the sea is difficult to make water, except that Wushan is not a cloud, a kind of true and false master mentality. Looking at the world, which mountain is waiting for him to climb? Who can fight against him endlessly?


    Aldrich also understands that if it is not the advantage of crossing, he is a fart!


    However, since this man who was destined to be as good as a fart now is now the top coach of world football, he is allowed to be a villain in his life, and he is allowed to cover the rain and cloud with frivolous frenzy.


    He took out his phone and glanced at it. In the message box, there was a text message draft that he had prepared. It was the message he was going to send to every player in Millwall after the game. The players of the team would be notified. The coach resigned and hoped that the players would support Klinsmann and continue to insist on playing for the Lions.


    It was Aldridge¡¯s fear that he didn¡¯t announce the news to the team in the locker room in person. He didn¡¯t eat hard, especially for those around him. He was afraid that the team would keep him, or that he would soften his mind.


    He is not special. He may occasionally be pretentious in his complacency, claiming to be superior to other coaches, but when he is awake, he will put all his opponents in a higher position than himself. Opponents, in their brainstorming, are all standing around thinking from the standpoint of others as much as possible, and they are afraid that they will not do well.


    But one thing, he has a clear conscience, that is diligence.


    Don¡¯t look at Aldridge getting mixed up in the football world, his status rises and rises again, and now he retires, it will inevitably be mixed with the title of legendary legend, but in the real aristocratic circle in England, Aldridge is mostly celebrities Gentlemen and ladies are ridiculed as fools, born to work hard, don¡¯t understand enjoyment, don¡¯t understand the pastime, even the prince who should be careful and prudent to maintain the royal face is more scandalous than him, right and wrong, all kinds of tall pleasures are common, Not to mention the rich men who are smoking cigarettes and bills, how could they run to work as a football coach working in the sun and rain?


    Ferguson''s limited energy and began to decentralize, Aldridge did not compare with him, Wenger was not young, and Aldridge did not compare with him, but the entire European football, coach under the age of 50, not to mention fame High and low, it is really time-consuming to put energy into work, and it is worthy of painstaking efforts. Aldridge admits that he is the second.


    This is true of him, and so are the coaches around him. It is this group of young and energetic people who acclaimed their blood with youth, and together they laid down the dynasty of the mad lion. .


    Lao Tzu may not be as smart as any of you.


    Maybe it¡¯s really not as good as anyone of you.


    It¡¯s not as good as any of you who got your ears from a famous teacher.


    But Lao Tzu is fighting against you, working harder than you, winning you, don''t be convinced!


    When Aldridge recovered, the locker room was already full of people.


    The English team and the coach stood in front of him. Aldridge stood up. Whether a team is handsome or not is not a word of mouth, but a feeling.


    Players are willing to sell their lives for you, and you are willing to pay for the players. Everyone puts the common interests of the team in the first place.


    For a year and a half, a group of people who only gathered together for an average of a month and a half, knowing each other warmly and coldly, Lu Yao knows that the horsepower has seen people''s hearts for a long time, and the friendship between the young handsome and them is completely silent.


    "I envy you, really."


    Aldridge smiled and said.


    This made the three lion squads who were ashamed to prepare for a terrifying battle were a bit ignorant. They always felt that it was time to sharpen their swords, but they were all distracted by Aldridge''s opening speech.


    "I am a fan first, and then a football coach, not a fan. I can¡¯t love football. If I don¡¯t love football, I can¡¯t do this job. I envy you guys for being real. You guys are going to play in the World Cup final. If you can, try to make Michael jealous of me all my life. I will let him sit on the bench. I wear his jersey to play on the striker. I like to play the striker. Unfortunately, my one minute career I haven¡¯t played in the league and I can¡¯t even score 20 goals.¡±


    As soon as Aldridge''s voice fell, the corners of the room were raised, and Aldridge felt like a child at this time.


    "In two hours, my work for the England national team will be over. Gareth, don¡¯t talk, just listen to me. I will no longer be the coach of England, but you will still be the international of England. The World Cup is held once every four years, and the finals are the same. With four games, only 22 players in the world can start in the finals. With substitutions, 28 people stand on the stage, four years, 28 people, eight years , 56 people, even 12 years, but only 84 people, minus the initial growth period of the player¡¯s career, cut the trough of the player¡¯s career end, no matter how glorious, playing 3 World Cups in 12 years should be the limit. The total number of players who can participate in 4 times and 5 times is only 10. In the process of the 3rd World Cup, how many professional players will be born? How many players will retire from the curtain call? Countless, countless, as this Of the 84 people in the limit, more than I am envious? I don¡¯t know how many fans in the world, how many professional players are envious."


    In the light words, the English players all over the house put a smile on their faces, and they looked sullen.


    It¡¯s not easy to get here, 28 people in 4 years, and 84 people in 12 years, let alone half of the championship. It is conceivable that Aldridge¡¯s only words and phrases made the spirit of the team highly concentrated. But there is no half-pointed pressure from the old stereotyped incentives.


    Aldridge has a gentle look, and finally said: "This should be the only World Cup final in my life. I am proud of you and proud of you. You should also be like this. To put it bluntly, although some of you are still young However, I think that in the next ten years, England will no longer be able to reach the World Cup finals, you have to ask why? I can also tell you, because the development of England¡¯s league is very unfavorable for local players, more and more foreign players make local rookies have no The living space, especially the players who emphasize the technical ability, England itself is no match for foreign players. Naturally, a few seedlings will be easily taken away by foreign players. This game will be the most in your international career An important game."


    After speaking, Aldridge bypassed the player and walked out, murmured, but was still heard by the players.


    "Today, I waited 36 years, and next time, would it take another 36 years?"


    After the three lion corps will leave after Aldridge, Southgate said in a deep voice: "Anyway, I can''t count on four years later, because after four years I am really old, John, Sol, Leo, The three of them are the pillars, so this game is the most important game in my life. I want the Hercules Cup, and I have no chance to dream in front of my eyes. Guys, put the Hercules Cup together. Bring back to England, will you?"


    "nonsense!"


    McManaman spit out a word, and everyone in the locker room laughed...


    Aldrich walked into this comprehensive stadium. Before the game, half of the closing ceremony had been completed. After the award ceremony, there were the remaining ceremonies, which were not of concern to Aldridge. As with every performance before the Champions League final, he never paid attention.


    German coach Waller is obviously more experienced than Aldridge. People have played in the World Cup finals, and now lead the team to the World Cup finals. If they really win the cup, this is not to walk the old road of Beckenbauer again. ?


    However, experience does not mean courage. On the sidelines, Waller secretly surprised when shaking hands with the smiling Audridge: In the previous 6 games, the young master was unsmiling and serious, and a pair of soldiers fought against the iron. What did the general look like today?


    He didn''t understand, he didn''t want to, he couldn''t figure it out with common sense anyway.


    Moreover, he really couldn''t relax.


    It is not unreasonable for England''s probability of winning the championship to be evaluated above the German team.


    There are players on both sides who are not suspended, but the German team is more injured on the side, and it is the midfield soul general Barack who suspended the game. This offense has broken a lot and the defense has also lost a lot. The suspensions are all full-time role players, which have a positive impact on the strength, but it is really painful for the attack and defense system, which cannot be assessed with individual strength.


    Aldridge has an open mind this time, and two hours later, he ended the World Cup journey.


    I don¡¯t know if it was because he defeated Brazil, but he kind of vaguely has no regrets about this World Cup. If England can¡¯t do anything with Germany, besides hating iron, it¡¯s hard to make two weathers. The great Liu Adou will never be more difficult for himself.


    The World Cup where the heroes of the world played on the stage lasted for a month. You sang me to the stage. At the end, 30 teams sadly called the curtain, and the rest were England and Germany.


    Standing in the area in front of his coach, Aldridge shrugged and muttered to himself: "Well, shaking hands with the seven national team coaches, no, eight, Sweden are the two coaches, turning Japan around. And, there was a little bit of limelight in the celebration of kneeling, and I didn¡¯t secretly practice kneeling to celebrate, um, this World Cup, I didn¡¯t come in vain."

 Chapter 874： Finale battle

    On June 30, 2002, at the beginning of the Chinese lantern, the German team and the English team made their debut at the Yokohama International Stadium to compete for the championship of this World Cup.


    When the referee team led by Corina led the players to enter the field, Aldridge held his head and raised his chest with a smile.


    The grandstand cheered thunderously, and fans from both England and Germany cheered the sky.


    "The one-month World Cup finally came to the final peak matchup. The World Cup final 36 years ago was England and Germany. 36 years later, the two teams met again in the World Cup final. I believe this scene will make 36 years ago. The old fans who have witnessed England win the cup have tears in their eyes. For 36 years, for many people, it is the time of half a life. Once again seeing the England team standing on the stage of the World Cup finals, how can it not burst into tears?"


    "Martin, don¡¯t be sensational. Look at the young handsome in England. At 26 years old, even if he was born ten years ago, he wouldn¡¯t see the local champions. Look at him. He¡¯s clearly smiling now, a natural smile, sure. It will make headlines again on the Fleet Street entertainment newspaper."


    "Hahaha, understandably, understandably, the seat of the England coach is not easy to sit, the pressure has always been great, and there are fleets staring every day, the pressure of public opinion is even greater! Aldrich Hall can be conscientious and can put down All the pressure, the England he created, is destined to stay in the hearts of English fans forever!"


    "Gary, let¡¯s talk about the specifics of this game? You will definitely say that Hall will have a way to deal with the German team, right? Like the World Preliminaries, that is, more than half a year ago, we didn¡¯t kill the German team in Munich. Really? For more than half a year, the German team has not significantly improved or improved, but England is making rapid progress."


    Reinkel hesitated for a while, but worriedly said: "If there is no match in the World Preliminaries, I would say that England has won a lot, and the Germans have their own pride. They have no personal experience. They will not be because of Sweden, Argentina, Turkey, etc. Waiting for the failure of these teams gave a high glance to England, but because of the fiasco at home in the World Preliminaries, how could Waller be cautious? And, there are lessons for Brazil."


    "Brazil? What happened to Brazil?"


    "Brazil''s such a gorgeous and powerful offense, failed to win England. Although it may be lost once again, England won four days ago. Can the German team play the offensive like the Brazilian team? Certainly not. That is to say, they will definitely not take the initiative to attack again. I am worried that they may be like Argentina in 90 years, defending in the final and stealing England''s counterattack."


    "Anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti? See who made the mistake? See who has the better offense and defense conversion ability? This is possible, but the German team lacks Barack, I really can''t take a closer look at their offense, lack of brain, the strength is greatly reduced what."


    After playing the national anthem, the narrator introduced the starting list of both parties.


    England starts with 4321.


    Goalkeeper: Seaman.


    Defenders: Phil Neville, Campbell, Southgate, Ashley Cole.


    Midfielder: Beckham, Hargreaves, Lampard.


    Front waist: McManaman, Scholes.


    Forward: Owen.


    German starting 352.


    Goalkeeper: Kahn.


    Guards: Link, Ramello, Metzelder.


    Midfielders: Frings, Schneider, Harman, Jeremys, Bode.


    Forwards: Klose, Neuville.


    Looking at the strength of a team''s paper strength, the first is the individual player''s strength, and the second is the ability to distribute the players, and the overall rationality.


    Why aren''t the German team playing for this World Cup optimistic? First of all, this team started with 11 people. Except for Kahn, there are no world-class players. Only Barack is playing and becoming a world-class. No Barack is carrying the German team''s offensive and defensive system. Without him. With 8 goals in 4 and semifinals, the German team could not reach the final, and thanks to Kahn¡¯s performance behind the gods, while other players, like Schneider, can only be counted as first-class players, but Never less than world-class.


    The distribution of players in various positions, the German team also counted the blood mold. First, the position of the central defender, Novotny, Warnes, and Remer were injured. The first two were not directly registered for the World Cup. Before the Remer final It took 45 minutes to play, but no, it was cheaper that Millwall teenager Metzelder took the ride and became the main defender of the German team, and another center defender Ramello was originally a midfielder. It was just that Waller pulled back and temporarily hit the defender. Flins was also a midfielder, but he was placed on the sideline. From time to time, he had to work as a guard. This felt like a patchwork.


    And the players who occupy the main force of the national team, the technically talented players are really rare. Schneider has been playing as a full-back in Millwall for a long time. He dare not say that he will fight for the top three in UEFA, but the right-back is in this position. His comprehensive offensive and defensive abilities can certainly make it into the top ten, but he was still pushed up by Waller to play as an avant-garde, and even occasionally came to play as a winger. Why?


    No one!


    On the technical ability at the foot, who is better than Schneider on the German team? Can''t find it!


    It can be seen how bleak the talent gap in this period of the German team. This problem has long been recognized by the big players in German football, and they have begun to brew reforms. This is only ten years later.


    Just looking at today''s starting strength comparison, England really deserves to win the championship, talking about talent, Scholes, McManaman, Irving, Beckham and so on, not to mention that the power definitely overshadows the other, at least diversity, comprehensive Sex, it is stronger than the German team, the defense system is also very complete, it should be the central defender is the central defender, it should be the full-back is the full-back.


    The opponents of the German team''s first six games were: Saudi Arabia, Ireland, Cameroon, Paraguay, the United States, and South Korea.


    There is no opponent with first-class strength in international football. It only lost 1 goal in 6 games. It seems that the defense is super strong. In fact, it is too much water. The test is not the first one. Kahn¡¯s god-level play is the second one. Kahn, changing the goalkeeper, the German team gave the opponent some excellent opportunities in this field. I am afraid that the city gates have long been used as a sieve. Of course, because of Kahn¡¯s excellent performance, almost every game is praised as Heroes, on the other hand, look like England and Brazil, and the defense is not bad. Especially after entering the knockout, the goalkeeper can''t grab the limelight.


    The head referee became the focus, indicating that the game was controversial.


    The goalkeeper becomes the focus, indicating that there is a problem with the defense.


    With the whistle of Corina, the highly anticipated finals kicked off.


    England took the lead, Scholes just brought the ball to the front waist, and was directly knocked to the ground by Jeremys. Corina blew the whistle to signal Jeremys foul, but Jeremys this The action is not rough, but it is not sloppy. It doesn''t matter if you give it or not. Corina didn''t give it.


    No one else knew. Jeremys pointed a finger at Scholes when he got up, slightly crossed a line, and said viciously to Scholes: "Dare to cross this line and tell you to crawl back!"


    His voice can only be heard by him and Scholes. That tone is really domineering!


    Scholes was not angry, when he stood up, he stared at Jeremys inexplicably, and raised his mouth in disdain.


    "What are you laughing laughing?"


    Jeremys didn''t stop, staring at Scholes, as if the other party didn''t know what to do, let him lie on the ground again!


    Mo said that Scholes had a villain Keane in the club. In the Premier League, this move is simply normal.


    Start to scare you first!


    Scholes played against Makelele, Vieira, Gattuso and other fierce men who actually attacked and defended. Will they fear Jeremys?


    Moreover, do you just feel that the other party is getting an axe in the class gate, or is it an aggressive move?


    Isn''t this too small?


    Not to mention, during the heyday, Jeremys really dared to fight against Vieira and Keane, but now, he is quite a bit strong and hard-working, of which the bitterness is probably only known by him.


    In the past two years, due to injury, stop and stop, the state has dropped significantly, and the club has been usurped by Hargreaves. In the national team, it is only this time to play in the World Cup. In the first 6 games, except playing Paraguay, he played 90 Minutes, the remaining 5 games add up to less than 90 minutes. If Barak is not suspended, I am afraid he will not get his start in the finals.


    The physical state is dragged down by injury, and without continuous healthy body, the competitive state will naturally decline. This double impact, Jeremy knows that if he is a fart, he may really be unable to stop the sky-high England, Scole. Si''s threat in the frontcourt was obvious. After the opening, he threatened Scholes with the risk of eating cards, which really frightened the opponent, even if he ate a yellow card, he earned!


    However, he obviously underestimated Scholes, the **** head simply ignored him, the opponents who clamored on the mouth saw more, can''t say how bad they were, there were natural wicked people, but not many, there were sunny spring and snow on the football field, naturally There are also the top three players who have gone through a lot of battles. Who hasn''t tried to be provoked and provoked by opponents?


    A sentence or two will make you angry. If you have black feet, don''t you want to kill people directly?


    This is not a quality, it is just used to it.


    After the opening, England did not attack strongly, and the posture was more aggressive than before, but the overall formation was not overwhelming. The back and forth was to run back and forth to attack by the trio of the frontcourt, left and right, sometimes fast, sometimes slow.


    This is a temptation to see how the German team''s defensive strategy and how the offensive and defensive system works today.


    Aldridge watched the game for about 10 minutes and roughly understood the German team''s formation today.


    Waller must be pragmatic. The 352 still looks like the 352 slaughtered by England in Munich. However, it is not the case. The first thing is that they do not take the initiative to attack. They really want to catch England''s counterattack.


    There are many reasons for not attacking. The most important thing is that they do not have a midfielder brain. Jeremys and Harman. It is good to have a calm and stable ball after a successful defense, but it can rise to the position war organization, then the strongman will be difficult. Shi Ned is also mainly on the sidelines, so the German team can only fight back, the overall limitations are too great.


    Another point is that this 352 is actually switching between 442. Coincidentally, Waller doesn¡¯t take Senegal¡¯s 5 defender or Turkey¡¯s 3 defender. He puts out a 352, but the actual defense is 442. The England single On the side of the attack, which is where McManaman is, they will shrink on the side and keep a sufficient number of midfielders to prevent England¡¯s midfield from plugging in, and Klose and Neuville, saying yes The striker and the true defense all retreated to the half. The overall unity of the Germans is evident.


    Aldrich has said many times that in the future a team of football can only have at most one person not participating in the defense, and the top strong teams are no exception. Today, the German team, in fact, all members participate in the defense, when catching the counterattack, 30 M Sprint, the German team''s double forward still has a good ability.


    Aldridge smiled, the other side was pragmatic, England can be conservative, but he did not let the team go conservative.


    Since they all gambled into the finals, how can they be stingy?


    Gamble with the German team.

 Chapter 875： Impeccable

    On the press seats at the Yokohama International Stadium, journalists from all walks of Fleet Street were watching the game on the spot. Some people simply watched the game and read the game with their minds and knowledge. For example, David Miller of the Times, For example, the BBC''s Jennings, but some reporters use a pen to record some small details found in the game, as an entry point for the post-match battle report, such as Howard of the Sun and Richard of the Daily Mail.


    As peers, we naturally know each other, and occasionally inevitably have to deal with each other, selling information to each other or cooperating with some hype hot spots.


    Richard looked at Thomson from The Sun, and suddenly remembered that about 8 years ago, both of them were newcomers in the industry. Naturally, the work of tracking the giants had seniors to do it. , So I had to run the news myself and dig out fresh topics. So, two young fledgling young people met at the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium and waited to see how the farce of the rich son of the rich family ended. This is eight years. During these eight years, there must be jokes and a lot of farce, but just how to look at it. Millwall, the rogue team who had been homeless then, may not be able to disperse with them in this life.


    It is undeniable that Richard no matter how arrogant he is, even when he first met Thomson, he also mentioned how the other person can stand out in the popular place of the Sun, and finally, he still has to admit that the ability of **** is nothing but luck. Well, the first to bump into the miracle of Millwall, the testimony from the beginning to the end, and the internal relationship of the mad lion, this is the golden rice bowl, and the status and energy that can make the newcomers in the industry envious.


    Richard turned his head to look at Thomson, who was scowling with his eyebrows. The other party was really like a learning model. Every time he met, he could see what he wrote without leaving his hand, just see the press releases in the newspapers, to be honest, Richard felt that there was no gold content.


    For the past eight years, he has always felt that he and Thomson are right to exchange clubs, working for the Sun, and entertaining the public is the first. Thomson has a decent style like a scholar. In all the writings, it was Richard that he didn¡¯t want to. He sometimes wrote a manuscript that was favored by others. Instead, he was directly dismissed. He was also taught a lesson, saying "Daily Mail" needs journalists. The bottom line of professional ethics.


    But really want to change the club, Richard is not happy, the loss is too great, because the biggest gold owner, which is Millwall, really needs a rhythmic mouthpiece collaborator, such as the "sun" without a bottom line The media, although occasionally cooperating and cooperating, is sure to prevent more, and it may fall apart someday.


    "For so many years, why haven''t you figured out one thing?"


    Thomson shook his head doubtfully when he heard Richard''s words.


    Richard pouted in the direction of David Miller and asked, "Can you see the game better than he does?"


    Thomson''s hand holding the pen was stiff.


    Richard glanced at Jennings again and asked, "Can you understand the overall development trend of England and Germany better than him?"


    Thomson threw away the pen, and he was not beaten lightly.


    Not to mention David Miller¡¯s professional vision of analyzing specific games, he is beyond his reach. Even Howard, a colleague sitting next to him, is not as good as himself, and the BBC¡¯s Jennings, although rarely publishes an analysis of a game, is Fluctuations in the team''s overall strength have unique insights.


    I want to know who will lose in a match, and who will win. David Miller''s masterpiece will make you feel like you are enlightened.


    But if we want to say whether a team is strong or weak, why it is strong, and why it is weak, Jennings sees the foreseeability of the small and the big, and has the ability to do things afterwards.


    Thomson stared at Richard fiercely and asked, "How are you better than them?"


    Richard shrugged facelessly: "Of course I''m not as good as them. Have you seen me write a press release in these years, is it the same way with them? To be honest, the swords and swords on the football field are good, and the undercurrent is surging. , I can¡¯t understand it at all, I can see who scored the goal and who was the most brilliant in the game."


    Thomson wanted to satirize each other, but opened his mouth and turned into a sigh.


    The other party has self-knowledge.


    Why did Zhuyu take the humiliation?


    Furthermore, professionalism is professionalism. Football itself is a comprehensive entertainment sport. Professional opinion is actually not a matter of public concern. It is a niche field. Those who read newspapers want to know who wins and who loses. , Which obscure kid became famous, and which dark horse was another blockbuster, most people don¡¯t care what your **** mother did.


    So Richard¡¯s reputation is not low, he belongs to the news, and the reporters of the type are not focusing on the football game itself. In his eyes, this World Cup final is actually a "who will rise in value. , Who will become the most watched person in Europe in the future? He just wanted to cheer on England.


    But the fear of journalists in the world is that if there is no position of national honour, I really hope that England will follow suit, and the hype behind the news is lively.


    With the leisurely feelings, Richard thought of a hot news that was brewing in his mind.


    "Have you noticed that Milwall has something wrong recently?"


    After thinking about it, Thomson said: "Very quiet, strangely quiet, but there is a World Cup, it is not easy to say."


    "Ha, what''s not to say? Millwall''s tradition is that the main players in the team renew their contracts every two years. If they don''t sign the contract, they will get out, but tomorrow will be July, and the transfer door will open. Millwall''s renewal But the work has not been finalized yet. Is this weird? This is obviously a sign that the mountain is about to come."


    Thomson was surprised, thinking carefully. Although the World Cup is in progress, Millwall''s entire coaching team is in Asia, and some of the work is reasonable.


    But player renewal work, in the final analysis is money, the club pays, the player asks for money, it''s that simple.


    Millwall is rich, and Audridge will not stumble. Don¡¯t look at Millwall¡¯s top salary is not high, but the bonus, especially the loyalty bonus, Millwall¡¯s veteran minister, as long as he does not miss 1 in a season For games above 3, you can basically get the top salary in Europe.


    Renew the contract and rise again? In line with the general trend, how much money did Millwall make last season?


    Unsurprisingly, after the new statistics from Germany are released, Millwall will take the lead in the wealth of football.


    Under normal circumstances, players do not renew the contract, the suspicion caused is the transfer.


    Can Millwall be cleaned this time?


    The injured Nedved did not come to the World Cup, so why not renew the contract to inspire people?


    Henry went home early, wouldn''t he sign a contract to restore his frustrated popularity? Fortunately, it can appear in the media news, and it is such positive news that continues to fight for the mad lion.


    Other players, Larson threatened to retire from the national team and was retained by all parties. His intentions for the mad lion, is it not worth the club to give another contract to let him rest assured of retirement while playing the heat?


    It''s nothing like Ronaldinho. After all, it shines in the World Cup. Negotiations on the new contract should be slower.


    Piece by piece, plus Milwall''s signing work is still on the spot, but the four main forces have been let go, and indeed there is a sign of a storm coming in the strange and calm.


    "I''m relying on it, won''t the Hall family want to sell the club?"


    Thomson blurted out, frightening Richard, and Richard didn''t dare to think about it.


    Jennings, who was sitting next to Richard, turned his head and smiled, "Despite the influence of the Hall family in East London, the investment and management efforts of these years, don''t you know that Audrey Hall returns Britain will be knighted? What is he knighted for? Isn''t it football? If he sells Millwall, even if he is knighted, he may suddenly fall from the tens of thousands of people, don''t doubt, Huo The family withdrew their capital from Millwall. Within five years, Millwall is at best a midfielder team in England. It may not be as bad as the Nottingham Forest. But the glory that Aldridge Hall has achieved in eight years will be one. A little lonely, the unmatched mad lion? Only exists in memory."


    Richard recovered, weighed the pros and cons, and nodded: "Yes, the Hall family is half of the mad lion sign, regardless of the business, or Aldrich Hall''s personal charm. Then this mad lion''s strange What will the club be doing? Is it?"


    Jennings asked back: "You just asked him, did you just want more than one person to support your guess? How? Don''t you dare to admit it or don''t want to confess it?"


    Richard nodded and said: "The compromise, the Hall family does not sell the club, Aldrich Hall decentralized, the boss and the coach, he can let go, only the coach, alas, unwilling to admit that it is true, the Premier League does not have him There may be more suspense in UEFA without him, but Millwall, who won the undefeated championship twice in 3 years, may never be able to see it again. The mad lions sweeping all the peaks on the European stage are really memories. Yet?"


    Richard''s voice became smaller and smaller, and it was reported that Millwall was eight years old to support his family, but he also had the simplest love and fanaticism.


    Thomson was stunned. He didn''t dare to think about it. If the Premier League doesn''t have Aldridge in the Premier League, Europe does not have all the marshals who are regarded as enemies by the powerful. How much less will the European beacon be?


    Jennings wondered: "What were you doing when you were 18 years old? Where were you when you were 26 years old? You can take a holiday at any time, you are not happy and you are off duty, you are just being deducted a salary, you can chase girls crazy Play around, what do you want to do, but what about Audridge Hall? Didn¡¯t he want to indulge? Of course I think, but in the past 8 years, even though he was beautiful, he was still in a limited frame, Millwall Seven Champions, World Cup finals, whether he won the championship, he has stood at the pinnacle of football coaching achievements, won the World Cup, 300 days and eight champions are ancient and modern, without the World Cup, leaving a lack of beauty , He doesn¡¯t have to be persistent anymore."


    Richard and Thomson kept silent, why didn''t they understand these, just like Millwall''s hostile club, the wealthy boss would also laugh at Aldridge in private, on the grounds that he was too tired to live?


    In that family business, it¡¯s good to use football as a toy. Even if you don¡¯t squander, you can play more finely. Why do you want to do this job that will cause heart disease?


    Jennings turned his head to continue watching the game, but said in his heart: Aldrich Hall, not to say the world, not to say the whole of the UK, only to say 300,000 Lions fans in East London, can you let go? Except for you, who can really guard the wild mountain of mad lions?


    Richard wanted to change the subject and change his mood, he asked Jennings: "Who dominates the scene?"


    Jennings relayed the original words to David Miller, and the plain-looking David Miller said: "The German team''s offensive is weak, and the only little trick has been figured out by Aldridge. From the technical and tactical point of view, England is impeccable, the German team¡¯s counterattacks are not threatening, and the England team has a great win. However, Germany has a Kahn, and only one Kahn."


    Kahn?


    Kahn!


    The game only took more than 20 minutes. The expression of German coach Waller and Gu Jingbubo has not changed, but his heart is extremely helpless.


    The only strange move of the German team in this field is not pinned on Schneider, because Schneider''s technical ability is quite out of place. With him as a breakthrough, the England team can''t think of it? Too obvious an offensive point, it is difficult to create miracles.


    Even if he is as strong as Ronaldinho, he needs to interact with his teammates, but the German team has only one Schneider.


    So Schneider is a feint, just used to attract troops, and really hopes that it will have a fatal impact on the England team, but on the other side, the legendary Bred of Bremen, this frontcourt player is placed in the middle today. On the left side of the field, Waller expects him to be a dagger, unexpectedly putting England to death, even Neuville and Klose must cover it.


    It is a pity that England seems to have seen through the deployment of the German team. Schneider''s side is defending, Bode''s side is attacking, one loose and one tight, one defense and one attack. Schneider can''t turn the sky, Bode is directly suppressed in the backcourt!


    The German team''s offense is weak. In addition to hitting luck with the high ball, the ground penetration in the frontcourt can pass the three-foot ball is already the limit.


    Waller is not reconciled. Such a German team has reached the finals, but it has no hope of winning the championship. I can''t imagine how desperate it will be if it meets the Brazil team!

 Chapter 876： Only one kahn

    Schneider''s jersey has been soaked with sweat, but he is still running, desperately predicting the English midfield pass line while defending, and then going to the card position, assist defense, make up position, etc. Fast forward again, he is no longer confined to the side, it can be said to split the vertical course in half, the area on the right, he will appear at any time.


    However, he still could not create a better chance for the German team''s offense.


    Lampard is the most important point to follow him closely today. Schneider has successfully broken through Lampard twice, but it does not even break through the entire midfield line. There is Hargreaves behind. There are defenders.


    If Klose came to respond, there was a lack of threat on the front line. As for the offensive line established by the head coach before the game, he tried to attack the west, using Schneider and Klose as a bait to contain England''s defensive forces, making the opponent''s defensive focus tilted. At this point, the two of them did a very good job, and it was really good, but it was impossible for the other side of Bode to attack immediately, let alone become the offensive sharp knife to take the enemy''s heart.


    33-year-old Bode, faced with the 27-year-old Beckham who was at his golden age and could not run dead, was dwarfed by himself as an offensive player when he withdrew to defense. In particular, he was still a tall man who was close to 1. 9 meters. Beckham, who is a breakthrough breakthrough, seems to have spent a lot of money under his feet today. It is really awkward to defend his Bode. Therefore, he was suppressed behind the left side and looked more like a full-back. It was really helpless.


    As for the left of Neuville, there was no storm, Phil Neville and Campbell completely blocked him.


    After seeing Brazil''s Samba magic dance steps, and then looking at the German team, there is a huge contrast. In the German team, Schneider is good at technology, but he is not world-class. Klose is expected to step into the world-class. Second, it does not belong to players who rely on their personal ability to defeat their opponents.


    In Aldrich''s eyes, it is almost the same as thinking of today''s Germany as England 56 years later.


    The attacking side is paralyzed, the right side is strong, the left side is paralyzed, the midfield only has engineers, the defense is acceptable, the offensive organization has no highlights except for the formalized pass, and the forward does not have the ability to break the deadlock. The original German team''s configuration is still It should be better, because they have a Barak that drives the team''s offensive and defensive system. At least it is more reliable than the double German coexistence. The offensive and defensive transition will not be chaotic. Unfortunately, Barak is suspended.


    Football requires talent, so there is no need to struggle with why England has a seemingly strong dual virtue, but has nothing to do on the international stage. Just ask who in the future can England break like McManaman? After Irving, can there be forwards who can take the back line with speed? In the midfield organization, who can come to Scholes with a precision straight over 30 meters? Shuangde is very good, and has performed well in the club, even recognized by UEFA, but combined with the characteristics of their club teammates, they can understand that a team is not necessarily the strongest combination. Rationality, overall coordination, and the diversity of special offensive methods are the watershed between strong and weak.


    In this game, Aldridge was a lot quieter than the last game in Brazil, almost standing on the sidelines and standing still.


    Without Barack¡¯s German team, let alone say, at least the offensive strength is greatly reduced. The most obvious side-to-side combination is no longer smooth. The mid-way needle threading has less soul, and one can imagine how much power will drop.


    The German team didn''t catch up, and it was a pity that Zig was on the left. At that time, he made a reputation in German football and was expected to compete with the world''s top three wing geniuses. Since the transfer to AC Milan, the river has been in decline. The British changed their clubs frequently and smoothed their spirits. In addition to frequent injuries and injuries, their competitive strength fell again and again, and they stayed in the muted White Deer Lane.


    The situation of the German team is very good. In the knockout game, the opponent''s strength became slightly stronger, the pressure and importance of the game also increased simultaneously, and Sieg was replaced by Bode. In the end, it was only a similar substitution. Better than anyone else, there is almost no trump card for the German team. If you think of the prosperity of the third-tier talents of the German team in ten years, you need to organize and organize, you need to break through and break through. What kind of magical pass can be satisfactory. Looking at Germany in 2002, the contrast is great, but it can''t be compared with honor.


    England is criticized as rough by the outside world, but compared with today''s Germany, the German team may be rougher than England.


    Aldrich¡¯s platoon formation is extremely targeted. Today he weakened the midfield defense because the opponent Barack can¡¯t get up. A Jeremys who is no longer in the peak state, plus a Haman in Liverpool, even if he is What if they rushed up together? Can you turn the sky in the middle?


    What''s more, Beckham is released and he is forced to press the right side. If the German team lacks a side, Phil Neville can tighten the inside line or boldly support the waistline. Why does Aldridge fear it?


    After all, the efforts of Schneider and Klose lacked the support of the whole team. In a 90-minute game, perhaps they would fall into the end of a crossbow in less than 60 minutes.


    In England, Beckham pressed the right in the offense. Scholes organized the frontcourt. Lampard played defensively to Scholes. McManaman was free on the left and the middle. Irving Faced with a slow guard line, there is actually more room for activity and more opportunities.


    England''s offensive talents and means are much stronger than the German team, derived from their methodical overall, strong support of the offense and defense system. Since this year and a half, Aldridge has not adjusted the main lineup much, compared to other Some teams frequently change their horses. If it is tacitly agreed, England can definitely rank in the top three in the world football, which is also one of the factors that enhance the strength of the team.


    In the first thirty minutes, England still shot long shots from the periphery. Even though Scholes and Lampard had two beautiful long shots in succession, they were still easily resolved by the ordinary Kahn under the gods. After thirty minutes After intimidating the German defense, forcing them to start blocking England''s peripheral opportunities, England began to play carefully.


    In the 32nd minute, Beckham, who completely released the offense in the game, broke the ball on the right and then pushed the ball behind Semetzerd and Ramello. Owen inserted the Ramello forward and quickly touched the ball. Seeing that the trend of single-handedness was established, Irving, who was about to shoot when he looked up, was shocked in his heart. Kahn abandoned the goal and blocked the shooting angle to the maximum. Irving shot at the far corner of the goal. Kahn shot with one hand The save, slightly changed the trajectory of the football flying to the goal, the ball refraction flying out of the bottom line!


    call!


    At the scene, the German fans were fortunate enough to die, and the English fans sighed and applauded.


    After 3 minutes, McManaman cut Scholes into the penalty area on the left and went into the penalty area. Kahn abandoned the goal again. McManaman did not shoot at the first time to let the ball bounce. Re-adjustment will barely header the ball, the strength is not easy to control, this is directly by Kahn directly in front of him to take off the ball from the air with both hands.


    Lion King Kahn roared to his teammates.


    The line of defense is really terrible.


    The German team''s defense line itself is slow, and once it is beaten, it is very embarrassed, and there is almost no chance of remedy, otherwise, how would they be hit by Duff, Robbie Keane, Orembe and others The buzzing? Not to mention Donovan''s continuous humiliation of using the entire defense line with speed. Without Kahn, the German team had already returned home.


    The German team''s back line was twice killed by opponents into the penalty area to form a one-to-one offensive threat with the goalkeeper, so the back line was automatically recovered without giving space to the opponent.


    In this way, the England team displayed long-range ability in front of the penalty area. Scholes shot a long shot and wiped the post and flew out of the bottom line to shock all the Germans in cold sweat. As for the arrogance to make Scholes cry after the game Jeremys, who crawled back, really let him take a dangerous hand in danger, he was also a little afraid, the other party had a Beckham!


    With the passage of time, the gap between the technical statistics of the two sides of the offensive has become larger and larger. The German team is unbelievable. It is impossible to believe that this England, which runs smoothly and tacitly, is the one England encountered in Munich more than half a year ago.


    After being blood-washed in Munich, the German team was the main attack, and the lack of major generals. The English counterattack destroyed the Germans and knocked the Germans into the abyss. However, the English team¡¯s positional combat ability is really ordinary, and there is no such strength at present.


    Aldridge is more gratified, difficult to defend and easy to defend, the normal situation on the football field, and the same is true for the team, starting from the defense is certainly a little easier than starting from the offense.


    If the offense is used as a transformation point, once the offense encounters setbacks during the growth and construction, the team will lose confidence because the risk of losing the ball after the main attack is too great.


    With defense as the starting point, it is more secure. With constant improvement in counter-attacks, England that can play magic anti-countermeasures will also improve its positional combat capabilities. The tacit understanding between this source of improvement and teammates, the division of labor is clear, but in the end, It is impossible how powerful, but the German team''s defense is weak, and the offense is weak. In the local confrontation, England has the upper hand, and it is stronger than the opponent on the basis of the whole. Naturally, the opponent will think how powerful England has become.


    Throughout the first half, England threatened the German team with long shots and sometimes penetrating the penalty area, which made the German team panic and panicked. Fortunately, Kahn maintained the city goal and England hit the goal 8 times. Kahn''s shot, all saved successfully!


    In contrast, the German team only had two shots and had not yet hit the goal range.


    At the end of the whistle in the first half of the game, the German was finally relieved, and Waller remained expressionless as he walked into the player''s tunnel.


    He is not confused, although the offensive strength of the England team is a bit unprepared, but the German team still has a backhand.


    This backhand is not dominated by players, because the people available for the German team are really stretched.


    However, in the first half of England, where the limelight prevailed and failed to break through the city gate, the German team would be caught off guard by playing the Three Lions!

 Chapter 877： England Golden Boy

    Coming to the second half with anticipation, Waller watched the game for three minutes, and his blood was suddenly full of blood, like, there was an urge to vomit blood!


    He turned his head to look at Aldridge. The young commander changed his posture on the sidelines in the second half, his hands folded in front of him.


    Not so shameless!


    Waller¡¯s second move was nothing more than to look at the timing of the overall posture, from passive defense to counterattack, to active attack. In fact, it was similar to the attack that England sent Brazil home, but he Certainly will not let Germany leave a person in the second half. This kind of pressure is actually an active attack, which is different from fighting.


    But when the second half came up, England didn''t wait for Germany to rush to attack, first withdrew by itself, and displayed an anti-anti-posture.


    Is it the enemy''s first chance?


    Not counting, Aldridge is just seeking stability, come back in the second half to enter the game rhythm first, the team is stable, don''t rush to attack.


    Waller cast a mouse, thinking that Aldridge guessed the German team¡¯s killer, and immediately gestured to players on the field, don¡¯t press it!


    He really preferred to be killed by the English positional war, and did not want to repeat the same mistakes and destroyed by counterattack.


    Isn''t this a face-slap?


    In Munich, he was struck by a counterattack and could not take care of himself. In the World Cup finals, he still had to tell the world that he did not remember long. A pit fell twice, which is simply the loss of the British name.


    The overall mega-trend of a game is nothing more than a few times. It is impossible to switch frequently between the main attack and the anti-anti. Like Aldridge''s last game, he commanded the England team against Brazil on the sidelines. Switching two or three times in 45 minutes is already the limit. , Because this kind of switching is not what you want to be able to become successful, in case of failure in the middle, being scored by the opponent, nothing will happen!


    The German team did have a chance to take the initiative at the beginning of the second half, but unfortunately, Waller was afraid of being counterattacked by the England team, he could not bear it. This tolerance, in fact, the general trend has gone!


    The German team has no advantage on the left. Bodard can¡¯t keep up in the second half. There are also two kinds of physical fitness. The 33-year-old veteran has a day more rest than Beckham. Is the 33-year-old more energy than the 27-year-old? abundant?


    On the right side, Schneider fought fiercely in the first half, and even if there was still strength in the second half, there is still something to do on the left side of England. When the real move is made, the German team¡¯s right side will also be suppressed. Then paralyzed.


    The midfield is England''s advantage. In the most intuitive comparison, the confrontation between Scholes Garampard and Jeremy Gargaman. Between offense and defense, the England attack is 55 open, 10 strong attacks, may be able to Played 5 times, and the German team attacked, maybe only 28 open, 10 times can only be scored twice, not to mention there is a Hargreaves in the English midfielder, and the German team¡¯s Jeremys is really not in a competitive state. Dare to compliment, the offensive investment has declined, so that England has no suspense to occupy the midfield advantage.


    Beckham restores the golden right color on the right, McManaman is flat in the frontcourt, Owen gallops like a wind, Scholes and Lampard construct a powerful midfielder, England was criticized before sweeping today The passive posture of the offense hits the wind and water, but the threats are frequently separated from the goal.


    Kahn played bravely, still frequently grabbing the mirror in the second half.


    After Beckham''s accidental inward shot in the 61st minute was saved by Kahn, Aldridge raised his hand and pointed at Ashley Cole. This competition was regarded by Fleet Street as a gem excavated by England, Ash Li Colmore had long been impatient with his fist, and was instructed by the head coach to immediately vigorously fight for the opportunity to kill him.


    Change!


    Whether it can be used well is the key. When Schneider has begun to show a reduction in running range, Aldridge plays the last card decisively, and the ace is on the field. The previous card is not issued, and it is to be used at the most appropriate time.


    In the battle of ending, Aldridge can get the sign that he can do, it is nothing more than a change, but he is content, not greedy, and not inferior.


    There are not many secrets on the football field itself. If you want to have great creativity, you also have to see whether there is that capital. England has these families. It is really rare to be able to improve some of the most basic things. It is more cohesive than a piece of sand. It was chaotic and orderly, with more impact than the old stereotypes, and finally, with an Ashley Cole able to transform into an attack, Aldridge was satisfied. In his mind, this set of England''s limits is also in This height.


    At the club, the outside world said that he was a bit of a magic stone. In fact, he just dug the jade in advance and carefully sculpted it. At this point, he knew that he still had it. He knew that he could not do it. It was not called bravery, called stupidity.


    In the 64th minute, Ashley Cole accidentally killed from the backcourt to the frontcourt. Scholes crossed the ball in front of Harman and crossed into the left rib of the penalty area. Ashley Cole rushed past Lin By the side of Ke, the ball that was falling was shot with a foot pad. The force was very fierce, and Kahn was immobile. Unfortunately, when he hit the plane, he was only less than half a meter higher than the beam.


    At this time of the game, the German team''s offense was already weak. In addition to the orderly offensive offensive in the frontcourt, the Ashley Cole, which was full of variables, had an inherently weak defense. Crisis of fear.


    The German team sometimes makes mistakes in point-to-point man-to-man marking. The focus on the right side to limit McManaman has made them a bit exhausted. At this time, with a haunted Ashley Cole, it suddenly seems to be parrying, Schneider It was more embarrassing. He went back too deep, and the German team attacked the right altogether. There was no one at all, and he went back to defend. How to defend, he was a little dizzy.


    Since Ashley Cole is no longer a traditional full-back, an assist-type full-back is to play the role of a forward, so his position and role must not be in accordance with the rules.


    In the 69th minute, Ashley Cole ran forward and came behind McManaman. The German defense thought that Ashley Cole would hit the penalty zone again. McManaman was just a guise, but, Ashley Cole changed his route again, ran behind Flins, and returned to the line of assisting full-back running position. Beckham cut in front of the right side of the penalty area and directly passed the diagonal long pass to pass the ball. In front of Ashley Cole.


    This horizontal wide pass can best tear the opponent''s defense, Ashley Cole stopped the ball, Link originally withdrew and blocked Ashley Cole''s front rib, but Ashley Cole ran Going to the side, he took another step up. It was this step that was a poor rhythm. McManaman rushed into the penalty area from before him. Ashley Cole put the ball before Frings blocked. Crossing, the poodle received the ball steadily in the penalty area.


    Link back to defense, McManaman controlled the ball and pulled back, another rhythm change, Link was shaken by McManaman who was in possession of the ball!


    Jeremias flew over, and Harman also stayed in the penalty area to guard the middle road, guarding against McManaman''s return to the top of the penalty area to set up a turret for Scholes.


    However, McManaman came with a pass-like shot. The ball rolled towards the goal against the turf. It was the far end. Kahn did not save enough distance and could only move quickly to the far post because the ball seemed to be Rolling in the direction of the goal will actually miss the far post.


    However, as Kahn moved, he tried his best to fly out!


    At the back of the goal, Irving, who got rid of Metzelder and Ramello, would never be offside. The start sprint was less than 15 yards. His forward rush made the German defender who turned around and chased again.


    Under the eyes of many people, Kahn rushed to someone, yes, he rushed to someone!


    He pressed Owen under him, and Owen''s right foot had already crossed the goal line and the ball was also inside the goal!


    Irving gritted his teeth and sweated all over his body. At this moment, he didn''t know whether to cry or laugh.


    The ball scored, the ball scored, the ball scored!


    However, a fainting pain came from his left leg!


    Heartache!


    But let him have the ecstasy of no regret!


    Once again, ten times, one hundred times, he will still choose to rush up, even if he breaks his leg, he must also kick the ball into the goal!


    "England scored! Michael Owen, England¡¯s golden boy shot the ball, England led Germany 1-0! World Cup final, England¡¯s first record! Great England, 20 minutes away from World Cup champion! 20 minutes away Minutes, we will return to the top of the world in 36 years!"


    "Oops, horrible! Irving can''t stand up, he should be injured, was it caused by Kahn''s crush after the shot?"


    England players rushed to Irving''s side for the first time. All the passionate celebrations came to an abrupt end. Beckham nervously beckoned to the sidelines to signal the team''s doctor to enter the field, while Kahn sat down in front of the goal line.


    The battle-hardened goalkeeper could not see the weakness of the German team''s offensive. Now that the city gate is broken, it is even more difficult to reverse the situation.


    Owen lay on the ground, his eyes closed, Beckham and other teammates took his hand, touched his cheek, and found that it was all cold, Owen got a cold sweat, because it hurt too much.


    The joint of his left leg was bruised and swollen. Although not as severe as the broken leg, the slightest result was a severe sprain.


    The England fans applauded collectively at the scene, and the applause continued for a long time. Many Owen fans held his posters high, and Audridge on the sidelines must continue his work. He kept slamming Alan Smith and arranging him after the game. task.


    When Owen was lying on the stretcher and sucked oxygen and was lifted off the court, Smith was replaced.


    After easing the initial pain, Owen barely stood up on the sidelines, no matter how the team doctor persuaded him or even banned, but he was determined to stand up.


    Aldridge also walked over to persuade him, his mouth just opened, and a word had not yet been spoken. Owen hugged him, and his body was obviously not as tall as Aldridge, so Aldridge bowed slightly.


    "Coach, shall we win?"


    Aldridge nodded.


    "please tell me."


    "Yes, we will win the **** Cup of Hercules."


    "Then we can win! I believe in you!"


    "No, Michael, you made all this happen, thank you."


    Irving let go of his hand, Aldridge touched his head like an elder. Irving sat on the bench first accompanied by the team doctor. He asked the team doctor to do emergency treatment. No matter what, he would stay here until the game End.


    At this time, the two men in suits and leather boots sitting in the stands, and the newly standing Andrew brought Lu Xiaofa to Japan again today. They sat in the stands and Andrew said softly to him: "He is the golden boy of England , You are the new golden boy."


    Rooney murmured with red eyes: "But I''m afraid I can''t do what he did..."

 Chapter 878： Beihuangs invitation four years in advance

    No matter what kind of image Irving will be in the future, since his debut in Liverpool, he has had little negative news outside the court, perhaps related to Hollier¡¯s cleaning of the spicy brother¡¯s thunder wrist, but overall, this English kid The image is positive and positive, giving the impression of a sunny boy.


    Because of this, the new golden boy of Rooney has just made a scandal in Tokyo to buy spring. Irving is not old, but a new generation of golden boy has been quietly born. Lu Xiaofan, who has self-knowledge, envys Irwin¡¯s radiance in England and feels ashamed. I feel that this life may not be a good man to clean himself.


    Rooney was very surprised when he returned to Japan on this trip. Originally, Andrew put the ticket in front of him. He was not willing to come. He was afraid that he would be attacked by the media again. Until Andrew said that this was the meaning of Aldridge, Rooney did not. Willingly landed on the plane and came to Yokohama.


    He was indeed expelled from England, but he was still selected by England¡¯s World Cup applicants. If he didn¡¯t play in a game, it didn¡¯t matter if the final award came or not, but after all, he played and scored. Although the national team was determined to close the door in the next year, when the World Cup ended, let him join the team to participate in the award. It is a kind of humanity beyond the law. The champion and runner-up must receive the award. Rooney is finally in the Olympics. In Deric''s eyes, he was still a child who had not grown up. In addition to being strict, he still had the guilty heart to try to be tolerant.


    Rooney stood up, and like all the English fans around him, the male duck roared and cheered for England. There was not much time left in the game. Even as a fan, he could not help but be infected by the atmosphere around the scene.


    Fans in England sang loudly. Some people held up the homemade Hercules Cup with tears in their eyes. Some people put their hands on their chests and began to pray. In an instant, the support of the Three Lions on the stands of the Yokohama International Stadium clearly overshadowed the Germans. Momentum.


    Aldridge made the first obvious physical movement of the game on the sidelines.


    "Don''t retreat! It''s all over when you retreat!"


    After his throat roared, he waved his big hand, instructing the team to guard the midfield, and there was no obvious retreat!


    Who said that the mentality will be relaxed when the score is leading?


    Now the England team is leading, but they will be more nervous than the German team!


    Win-win outcomes and trade-offs will make their mental state more obvious.


    As long as you keep it, you can win the game, and the only forward that England can count on has been injured and is still attacking?


    Certainly no more offensive, Aldridge replaced Alan Smith, is to defend from the first line, but the overall posture, three-line formation, there can be no trace of back!


    Never retreat, as soon as you retreat, it gives the German team a chance to fight back!


    Waller immediately went to change, and used all substitutions at once.


    33-year-old Bode was unable to fight anymore and Sieg came on the court.


    At this point, the vitality of the midfield attack is needed. Jeremys goes off and Asamoah hangs in.


    England guarded the midfield half a step, and the German team could not push forward on the ground. They could only try their luck in a simple and rough way. Neuville came off the field and Bierhoff appeared to increase the success rate of the rush.


    Just looking at the substitutions of the German team, you can see that their lineup is stretched. The people who are replaced are not the veteran veterans of the rivers, or the strength is only at the end of the first class, which is unbearable and difficult to count on.


    Waller sighed his forehead. The England team did not make any mistakes!


    At this time, if the England team retreated, the German team fully counterattacked and went up with one breath. As long as it passed halftime, even if a subtle offense could not be played, anyway, the momentum could go up, which could bring psychological panic to England, but the England team did not move in half. Retreat!


    Alan Smith, McManaman and Scholes furiously snatched from the center line to the front waist area, disturbing the German team''s offensive organization, Beckham withdrew and changed back to the third back, and the four backs were steady. , These goddams are three airtight lines of defense!


    Schneider''s physical decline is serious. He must be the most competitive one in the German team. Over 70 minutes, he surrendered a running distance of nearly 10,000 meters. At this time, he can still run, but the speed is relatively faint. Lampard wasn¡¯t as good at speed as England players. Although he wasn¡¯t slow, the energetic Schneider had a chance to break through Lampard, but now, there is no possibility of a sudden breakthrough. With the ground coordination, I can even think of seeing the space interspersed, or Lampard will take the lead.


    After Sieg played, an unbearable cross on the left wing directly flew out of the bottom line. These years, the state has fallen seriously, and it is difficult to make a change.


    The German team''s middle road is completely forward in formula. If you want to penetrate the defense of England, you can''t pass through the pass with some beautiful flowers, and you can''t do it with imaginative passes to the top. ?


    All the famous places in Germany are watching this game, the German team''s offensive weakness is clear at a glance, organizational talent, personal creativity, and extreme lack!


    Even if you are lucky enough to win this game and become the world champion, it will not be able to cover up the shortcomings of the German team during this period. Reform is imperative. This generation of players is unavailable and can be used effectively.


    At this time, Beckenbauer stood on the VIP seat in the grandstand, his expression was serious and quiet.


    As the emperor of German football and at the same time one of the souls that cannot be ignored in the development of German football, Beckenbauer''s mission and role played by him are respected and out of reach by Aldrich.


    At this time the romantic old man can already foresee the ending.


    miracle?


    Miracles also depend on strength.


    Germany''s spiritual will praised by the outside world?


    Jagged will also speak by strength.


    In the past two years, the German team suffered a fiasco from the European Cup, the Intercontinental Cup, the warm-up match, and the World Preliminaries. They have suffered a net loss of three goals or more. This is what happened within a two-year period. In two years, how many matches can there be for the national team?


    Where is the German spirit that has been frequently washed, slaughtered, talked about and worshipped?


    German football has been painful since 2000. The internal analysis team bluntly stated that Germany has experienced a 10-year talent gap. In the decade of 90-00, when the defeat of the European Cup was defeated, the German team was even labeled as "lagging" and "rough". .


    The plan to "cultivate geniuses" came into being, but if you want to promote the plan in the field of German football, there are still many resistances in the German leagues. The German Football Association can''t do it alone for the time being, but there must be a gradual progress in the reform. The process, otherwise, the backlash may provoke chaos.


    The German team can reach the final. Beckenbauer does not think that it depends on the strength of the German team. Like he criticized the performance of the German team before, he never biased the German team and missed the penalty for the American team referee. And, thanks to a dark horse South Korean team in this World Cup, if there is no South Korean team to rely on the referee to enter the semi-finals, maybe the German team will meet Italy or Spain in the semifinals.


    Thinking of this, Beckenbauer''s mouth raised a sneer.


    The Spanish team asked FIFA to change the referee group before the game. FIFA ignored it. When the German team and the South Korean team were approaching, the German delegation also proposed to FIFA to change the referee group.


    This replacement does not mean that there must be a problem with the referee team itself, but it is just a precautionary measure. It is like if the referee team has already been bought, then it will be temporarily replaced and the new one will be cleaner.


    These things will naturally not be made public and belong to the game of all parties in secret.


    FIFA rejected the German team''s request for the first time.


    However, Beckenbauer personally called Blatter and said a sentence: If the referee''s penalty in the semi-finals is not good for Germany, you don''t want to be FIFA president again!


    Next, in that semifinal, the referee group was replaced again, and all came from Europe!


    Europe should have avoided suspicion, because Germany is a European team, and South Korea is an Asian team.


    It is not difficult to understand why Zheng Mengzhun suddenly jumped out and accused FIFA of arranging the referee for being unfair after the Korean team lost.


    Now watching the England team control the situation on the field in an orderly manner, the German team did not dare to go out to oppress and snatch. The time passed by one minute and one second. Beckenbauer knew that the general trend was gone and lost at the foot of England.


    At least lost to a team that has a tight balance of offense and defense plus unity.


    This is where Beckenbauer appreciates Aldridge. Without talent, there is no talent. Put some basic skills and clich¨¦s to the best and strongest. Who said they can¡¯t ask the world?


    The German team won the World Cup three times before, except for the time when Beckenbauer personally led the team in 1990 to win the domineering match, but that time, there was a thrilling penalty shootout with England in the semifinals.


    As for the first two, the miracle of Berne, the 74th year of the uncrowned king of the Netherlands, who is the talent of the German team? First of all, the golden team in history in Hungary, and then there was a full attack and full defense of the Netherlands that swept the world to detonate the third football tactical revolution.


    I don¡¯t deny that gorgeousness and romance seem to be a crown, but pragmatism and refinement can still conquer the world!


    The spicy irony of Belsa in the world is still in the ears, died in the gorgeous and arrogant Argentina, and played a part of the skill? Perhaps according to the reputation of their players, maybe even 5 Chengdu, but England? Simple and pragmatic still has some utilitarian style, but they have played their skills at least 90%, how can it not be strong?


    Regarding Aldridge, Beckenbauer sincerely appreciates it. This kid is very self-knowledge. He is a good player who looks at the food. The outside world says that he can¡¯t see what kind of style Aldridge is. In a mess, the offensive football has been played everywhere with fear and courage, but in the national team, it tends to be conservative and utilitarian.


    Is he offensive or conservative?


    Beckenbauer said to himself: "This is his style."


    Thinking of Millwall''s innumerable rookies over the years, Beckenbauer made up his mind to go to England after the World Cup and learn more about Millwall''s youth training mechanism. It is no exaggeration to say In fact, Millwall has cultivated more talents in the past eight years than a big football country combined. It is compelling and compelling.


    To bring about revolution on the football field requires great creativity. To bring about revolution in a country''s football naturally requires magnificent spirit, but vision and courage are not enough. It really needs to be down-to-earth.


    After the World Cup, German Emperor Beckenbauer traveled to the United Kingdom, lived in East London for a month, visited Millwall, and left an invitation letter when he left at the end of July. As the chairman of the 2006 World Cup Organizing Committee, he invited Aldridge Four years later, he went to Germany to attend the opening ceremony of the World Cup.

 Chapter 879： Epic of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table

    In the last five minutes of the game, the German team attacked desperately, and Waller also hoped that the German team could perform like an English lore in Brazil. Unfortunately, England¡¯s defense is very tight, and the German team has no organization core. , People are rushing up, but it is more like a crowd of people.


    As soon as the ball passed the front waist area, it was cut off by Hargreaves. That scene really made the Germans sad and crazy.


    On both sides of Hargreaves, Klose and Haman, both thought that the other party would respond, stunned that they did not move, and they all looked forward to rushing forward, Hargreaves was more like receiving the German team Pass and then easily control the ball.


    Pass the ball diagonally and give the ball to Beckham who is turned from the guard to the running position.


    Beckham glanced at the front and teleported it obliquely with a long angle. On the other side, McManaman succeeded in the anti-offside. The German soldiers pressed the emptiness in the rear and were directly penetrated by the England team with a simple long pass.


    McManaman drove the ball to the German team''s penalty area, Kahn did not move, still waiting, he will not rush to attack, that will only give the opponent a chance to hang the door.


    When the time was about the same, Kahn abandoned the door and couldn''t help. The defender of the German team was not as fast as McManaman''s rush forward.


    The fans in England at the scene all stood up and held their breaths, cheering for the poodle.


    Shoot this ball in!


    After entering the penalty area, McManaman was about to meet Kahn. He suddenly made a cross-pass option. Kahn stopped and traversed to block the other side, but it was obviously late.


    Alan Smith, who replaced Irving, was energetic. Since McManaman''s anti-offside, he ran forward at full speed, sprinting away Metzelder from a long sprint, and rushed to the first line and received McManaman. In order to be safe, he pushed the ball with his foot bow. The goal in front of him was completely open and no one blocked it. Kahn''s remedy didn''t help.


    At the Yokohama International Stadium, the Germans dropped their heads, and the English cheered to heaven!


    "Alan Smith helped the England team secure the victory! Hahaha! The Germans wanted to replicate our offensive against Brazil, but instead we locked the victory! David¡¯s long fax is wonderful, Steve¡¯s assist is selfless, Alan At this time, he must be ecstatic. He came up from the bench and scored a goal! England¡¯s World Cup, telling the world what unity is and what is a real team! England returns to the top of the world and is about to win the second World Cup championship. Trophy!"


    Alan Smith snarled obsessively, with plenty of physical energy to allow him to run around unscrupulously. He knew that he was not the most important member of the national team, but as long as he played, he would burn everything and contribute to England!


    Waller waved his hand to the backcourt and signaled the team to go back to defending. There was little time left in the game. Trying their luck and hanging, the whole team pressed? That''s death.


    Aldridge called Terry and Carrick on the sidelines at this time and submitted the substitution list.


    At the last moment, Terry replaced McManaman and Carrick replaced Lampard.


    England also ran out of substitutions and then waited for the game to end.


    The German team wanted to fight, but there was no chance at all. They didn¡¯t dare to press the back line. The attackers were waiting for the opportunity. The midfielder was a weak zone. The England team slid back and forth in the midfield. time.


    When the whistle of the match ended, all the English fans on the scene cheered, making the whole stadium full of hustle and bustle.


    "England, the great England regain the World Cup title after 36 years! Thank you Irving, thank you Alan Smith, thank you Beckham, thank you McManman who played well throughout the tournament! Thank you Southgate, thank you England Everyone on the team should be most grateful to the young coach who made all England proud and proud, Aldrich Hall! We saw a slogan from the fans in the stands, oh, it was obviously a Millwall fan, Because of the way they used to formally organize the classic slogan for the Roaring Fans! His Majesty Aldrich Hall!"


    In the north stand, a handful of fans suddenly became the focus of the stand. Sol, Brady, Fred, and three Aldridge''s friends hugged each other and jumped on the stand, beside them. The old fans who fought side by side with them for many years turned around. The large letters on the back of the jersey formed a sentence: His Majesty Aldrich Hall! King Arthur of English football!


    The next day, this scene was written as the epic "King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table" when the "Sun" published the English championship.


    King Arthur is naturally Aldridge, and all players in the England team, including the coaching staff, have become the Round Table Cavaliers.


    And this story is not over yet. When McManaman is abandoned by England in the future, he will be called the first warrior Lancelot among the round table knights by The Sun, and he breaks with the round table knight and regrets it ...


    Both players on the court fell to the ground after the referee Corina''s final whistle!


    The German players fell to the ground softly, some of them smashed the turf hard with their fists, and some sat back on the turf with dull faces.


    The players in England kneel down on their knees and scream as much as they want!


    Many English fans in the stands burst into tears, 36 years!


    England coaches and benches, bench players all rushed into the court, rushed to the court teammates and kneeled away, the coaches also rushed to celebrate with the players.


    Only the expression did not seem to change, and the movement did not change, it was Aldridge.


    He still stood there, as if he could hear the fans crying, shouting, and laughing in the stands, and he could see the excitement of the English players in front of him.


    This is a day belonging to the English.


    However, he is not an Englishman.


    But after all, he lived in England for a long time. His family in this life is also in England, working on his own, making a name for himself, all in England!


    He had a rewarding consciousness, but he still had a trace of alienation.


    Almost at the same time as the whistle sounded, media reporters from around the world swarmed up and surrounded Aldridge. They circled, crouched down in the front row, stood straight in the back row, and then back The reporter can only hold the camera high and aim the lens at Aldridge.


    The lights flickered, and more than 90% of the reporters came to film this young handsome immediately.


    At the age of 26, the Premier League has five crowns, the European five crowns, and the single-season club seven crowns thought they were already the limit of the unprecedented. Unexpectedly, in the east of the world, the young master pushed the limit again, the eighth crown!


    World Cup champion!


    At the end of this season, the achievement of the young master was unprecedented. Now, it can almost be concluded. In the summer of 2002, he wrote a myth of the future.


    All the journalists surrounding Aldridge couldn''t help but wonder.


    When other Englishmen ran wildly to celebrate, why did the young handsome still stand there?


    That''s obviously not a calm expression pretending to be cool, what are you thinking about?


    Then all the reporters saw a scene that moved them.


    The young master turned around and gently reached out the reporters behind him. There weren''t many journalists crowded there. After all, not many media were willing to publish the photographs of the young master''s back.


    I saw the young commander walked to the bench, where all the players coaches ran to celebrate, the injured Irving was only accompanied by a team doctor, the wind chasing boy smiled, but there were two lines of tears on his cheeks.


    The young commander walked over, bowed his head and talked with Owen a few words, and then lifted him up, hugged Owen''s shoulder, and walked into the stadium.


    At this time, all reporters and the audience who saw this scene thought to themselves: What can hesitate to sell their lives to such a coach?


    He didn¡¯t even laugh before the achievements of the ancients, but he cared about the player¡¯s injury for the first time, and then sent the player to the court to let his disciples and teammates together to enjoy this unparalleled glory!


    Aldridge walked steadily and walked into the field without delay. With a large group of reporters behind him, they wanted to take a picture of the handsome young man celebrating passionately, and wanted to see his ecstatic expression, but they saw The young commander approached a German team player, squatted down, and stroked the opponent''s head like an elder.


    Schneider seemed to have lost all his strength and leaned his head against Aldridge. He raised his head and asked indifferently: "Boss, if, if England doesn''t have you, the German team can win England today ?"


    Aldrich said nothing, and Schneider sighed softly, whispering: "I asked a nonsense, without a boss, England would not be so strong, but not so strong, today Germany is facing Brazil..."


    Schneider eased the initial loss of soul. The club he played was the strongest in the world. Of course, he could understand what level the German team is in. However, it fell into the finals, which made people sad and disappointed.


    Aldridge didn''t make it to the finals, Schneider originally had this record, but today, this record ended at Yokohama International Stadium.


    "Don''t you stand up? Mad Lion players should not be in this state in the face of failure."


    Aldrich''s words made Schneider take a deep breath and tried hard to stand up, and as a result he sat down on the ground again and smiled bitterly at Aldridge: "Right leg cramps."


    Aldridge was about to help him stretch his hamstrings, and Klose trotting not far away hugged Schneider''s right foot and lifted it straight.


    "Boss, you go to celebrate, I help him."


    Klose lowered his head and didn''t go to see Aldridge. He seemed unwilling to let Aldridge see the tears in his eyes.


    Aldridge patted Klose''s shoulder, and turned away without saying anything.


    He actually wanted to say to Klose: You are still young.


    But I feel that this is really hurtful.


    Despite the fact that Klose was still young, he could wait until Germany¡¯s ZTE ten years later, but Schneider couldn¡¯t.


    Aldridge strolling around the court just hugged every England player or coach, no words of praise, no other excessive movements, until he saw Melanie came to the court with his two sons, he Only then showed a gentle smile.


    Earl ran wildly, shouting that his father was amazing, Aldridge stooped and hugged him around the place for three turns, and then let him ride on his neck, waiting for Burt to be held by his mother. At that time, Burt took the initiative to hold Aldridge''s hand again.


    Melanie smiled and stared at Aldridge with deep eyes. Aldridge just shook her head slightly with a bitter smile.


    From the outsider''s point of view, this is a very warm scene for a family of four. In fact, maybe Burt started to be sensible and did not speak, but he took his parents'' hands from left to right, probably, a little careful in it.


    It''s just that he is a child who never understands the world of adults.


    Mo said that Aldridge may not even see Melanie ten times a year. The average of two sons sees Melanie twice a month for two or three days. The two children are there, anytime Meeting, and Aldrich, inevitably go around, even more together, this is like a family.


    The family of other players also walked into the court. McManaman was extremely eye-catching under the flag of England.


    Looking at the warm and exciting scenes in the field, Audrican started to ask Earl: "Do you want to be a movie star in the future?"


    "I don''t want to! I want to be a star! I will be the captain of England in the future!"

 Chapter 880： The whole team admonished!

    The salutes rang together, the colored stripes flew, and time after time each time the competition was boasted as the strongest England in history on Fleet Street, and finally stood at the peak of the world again after 36 years!


    The moment Captain Southgate held the Hercules Cup high, the FA came to the officials in Yokohama, from the chairman to the general staff, and all stood up and applauded.


    The smiling President Thompson has the same thoughts as everyone. In addition to being proud of this England team, he also pays tribute to the young coach.


    This should be the strongest England in history.


    Compared with winning the championship in 66 years, it has the advantage of homeland. Taking back the Hercules Cup overseas, especially outside Europe, this great achievement is enough to be called the first in the history of England!


    When the players loved to hold the Hercules Cup to kiss or pose for POSE photography, they didn''t notice it at first, and there seemed to be a familiar person nearby.


    They asked each other only after they came back a little bit: Master, where did they go?


    Richard had a hunch when watching the game, something unusual will happen after today''s final.


    This hunch does not appear out of thin air, but when talking with Jennings, the other party''s tone of speech seems to be sure that Audridge will retreat from the position of coach. Although it is not clear, there are clues to follow.


    He is just a guess, combined with the calmness of the Millwall club for the last half of the month, compared with the resolute popularity of the previous season, Millwall is too abnormal.


    What must happen? !


    When the awards ceremony ended, Richard got a shock notification that his boss in London called directly and said in a nearly roaring tone on the phone: "Richard, you''re going to **** me The press room at Yokohama International Stadium! Aldrich Hall¡¯s mixed ball contacted the BBC for a personal press conference before the final. He sold the BBC a big favor. Why didn¡¯t you find it at the scene? Hurry up and give me Get over, otherwise..."


    Before he had finished, Richard hung up the phone and left behind a large group of reporters who were still filming the English players on the spot and ran to the press hall of Yokohama International Stadium.


    He gritted his teeth on the way: Aldridge, not kind!


    He figured it all out, why Jennings was so sighed, and he must have heard the news before the final. People themselves are BBC reporters, and it is not surprising that there is internal information.


    The most influential media in the country is undoubtedly the BBC. Aldrich sells them an exclusive news. First-hand information, compared to notifying all media in advance, let everyone come to interview at the same time. It is sure that the BBC is in this news. Taking the lead in operation is equivalent to owing Audridge''s favor. Although it cannot be measured by economic benefits, it will be good for Millwall in the future.


    Reporters from other media on Fleet Street also got the news for the first time, for a simple reason.


    In the British homeland, BBC5 sports station is broadcasting the live scene of the England team after winning the World Cup, but the news station with more influence than the sports station, after a short broadcast of the England team World Cup winning, previews the live broadcast of Aldridge¡¯s personal news Press conference.


    Mo said that the bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods on the Fleet Street were coming, and even the mainstream media reporters in various European countries were informed that they immediately rushed to the press hall of the Yokohama International Stadium.


    When reporters from all over the world came to the press room, the BBC was ready to make a live broadcast. The camera was aimed at Aldridge on the stage. At this time, the young master was still in a suit and clothing, and his clothes were not messy.


    At this moment, some reporters are in a trance.


    Eight years ago, the young man who broke into the site of the Millwall post-match press conference was also in such a suit and leather, and so calm.


    BBC staff don¡¯t mind other reporters breaking into the scene, as long as they don¡¯t make trouble, the paper can¡¯t stop the fire, anyway, the first-hand information has already fallen into the BBC¡¯s bag, but they are live broadcast!


    Jennings was sitting in the first row of seats under the front desk of Aldridge. He was the only one. This reporter who had an interview with Aldridge in the past few years was extremely envious of his colleagues.


    But everyone is wondering, what should the young handsome do?


    Seeing the staff compare a 321OK gesture, Aldridge said softly with a smile: "At this moment, I can really breathe. Thanks to all the fans for their support, the England team got a good result in the World Cup. ."


    good achievement?


    The reporters looked at each other.


    Maybe it¡¯s good.


    This young commander has always been very demanding.


    "As the coach of the England team, in the past year and a half of my coaching work, I have no doubts. I am also very grateful to the players of the national team. If there is any regret, it is that Gerald and Gary Neville missed due to injury. World Cup."


    Gerald?


    Neville?


    If Aldridge does not say, no one will think of these two people at this time.


    Somehow, some Fleet Street reporters showed sad feelings at the scene, and I could hear the young master''s words saying goodbye.


    "Thank you to the members of the coaching staff who were with me. Without them, there would not be every victory in England. They have contributed. I became the head coach of Millwall eight years ago. After eight years, I am now I want to put the family first, so I will resign as the head coach of the Millwall Club. From now on, the new head coach of the Millwall Club is Jurgen Klinsmann, who will return to London tomorrow An official Millwall press conference was held. At the same time, my contract with the FA also expired. I will not renew the contract. I hope the England team will get better and better in the future!"


    boom!


    There was an uproar at the scene!


    This **** is really a sensational news!


    Many reporters opened their mouths in shock.


    The young master of the world abdicated


    The mad lion dynasty is over?


    In fact, when the news that Pirlo and Zambrotta, their four absolute main players left, came out, the outside world had a consensus: the mad lion dynasty is over!


    But this end does not mean falling apart.


    In fact, because the team is not letting go of the players when they are ill, Millwall will only return to the top as long as he rests for two years! Because they walked like this!


    But Aldridge retired from the position of head coach, and the future trend becomes confusing and suspenseful.


    Broadly speaking, a team is divided into three parts, the first part is the management, called the brain, the second part is the coaching staff, called the heart, and the third part is the player, called the limbs.


    Aldrich¡¯s dual identity in the past made the decision of the upper and lower sides consistent, sober brain, strong heart, and strong limbs. The crazy lion is both stable and strong. To know the strong teams in Europe, many teams have unsatisfactory results. From time to time, these three parts have to fight internally. Internal loss leads to a decline in strength is commonplace.


    And now Aldridge has retired and the head coach has asked others to do it. Then, of these three parts, a large part of them are marked with question marks. It is not enough to have a clear mind and strong limbs. There is no strong heart, and the strength can be imagined. And know.


    However, many coaches and management of the European clubs that got the news at this time are relieved, and even have ecstatic pleasure.


    The young handsome finally left!


    It has to be said that the young commander, known as the trophy reaper, not only has a terrifying dominance over England, even Europe is creeping under his feet, and his departure has made many European tycoons have more ambitions for the Champions League.


    Barcelona, ??President Gaspard, while watching the BBC live broadcast, gave instructions to his assistants: ask Millwall for Ronaldinho!


    Real Madrid President Florentino got the news before the press conference. He got the rumors from Andrew. After all, the things that are fixed on the board, Andrew sells the other person for free, and Real Madrid¡¯s management team has already A shocking transfer in operation: Purchasing Henry from Millwall!


    The quotations passed by La Liga to Millwall are confidential, but the preliminary quotation figures, although they still cannot break Zidane''s world transfer record, are not far behind.


    Pirlo, Gattuso, Zambrotta, and Materazzi had left before, and the absolute main force in the Millwall team remained. Nedved did not recover from serious injuries. No one cares about it. Larsen is over Thirty, there is no big man willing to spend more money to buy. The younger ones are naturally at the peak of Ronaldinho and Henry. If they also leave, Millwall is probably not just a big drop in strength, almost the main force of the first team. Rebuild it.


    Those who like Millwall may not like the England national team.


    Fans of Millwall all over the world were instantly dumbfounded when they got the news...


    At this time in the UK, Ferguson was admiring his famous horse "Gibraltar Rock" with half ownership on the racecourse. Suddenly he received a call from his son. After hanging up the phone, he was slightly lost, and immediately revealed a ruthless color that was incompatible with his age. Low Sheng Gao laughed and said: "I wanted to retire, and I didn''t want to be a deserter. You were 26 years old and you didn''t do it? I really didn''t take my eyes! Aldridge, when the mad lion was stepped back on the feet by the Red Devils Don¡¯t cry at all!"


    Press Hall of Yokohama International Stadium.


    Aldridge has finished the main content, and is now accepting a brief question from BBC reporter Jennings.


    "I have full confidence in the future of Millwall. In the past eight years, we have established a good operating model, with extensive business resources, the club has no debts, can be profitable every year, and we have the most valuable wealth of football That¡¯s talent. Many young players are talented, and they will become the backbone of Millwall in the future."


    Just when Aldridge was interviewed, there was another wave of people in the press room. The officials of the FA, led by Chairman Thompson, had not had time to retain Aldridge again. As a result, the other party directly explained to the world that he was leaving , Making him helpless but unable to bear any hatred, after all, Aldridge has brought unprecedented success to the FA!


    Just when Thompson and a group of FA officials sighed, I saw another group of people coming, and this group of people had no ceremonial etiquette. The fish penetrated and the aisle was narrow. Place, looked at Aldridge in amazement.


    There was a security guard trying to stop it, but the BBC staff immediately raised their hands to stop it, and many people waited to watch the show.


    Because the group of people who broke in was the players of the whole team of England, Owen jumped in with one arm around Lu Xiaopang at the end.


    boom!


    Southgate placed the Hercules Cup heavily on the stage in front of Aldridge, and then took two steps back. Southgate said loudly, "Boss! Stay!"


    God knows what he said is to stay in the position of Millwall or the head coach of the national team.


    But next, Beckham, McManaman, Lampard, Ashley Cole, Scholes, Neville, Ferdinand, Campbell... standing on both sides of Southgate... Owen grinned to hold back the pain, and only the old goalkeeper Seaman stood at the end and looked at the scene in front of him with a smile.


    Just listen to them roaring in unison: "Stay!"


    They have a sincere look and earnest eyes.


    Aldridge was dumbfounded, and all the reporters on the scene were shocked by this scene, and the BBC live broadcast is still in progress.


    All over the world, I saw the England national team, the whole team admonished, and retained the handsome!


    ...


    The tenth volume of the new king

 Chapter 881： You eighteen, he thirty-two

    The green feast once every four years came to an end, and there was much joy and sadness, and there was no lack of sorrow after the tyrannical crusade, the sigh of the hero''s late twilight and the astonishment of a new generation of geniuses.


    The 26-year-old young coach Aldridge has become the focus of the world, and it is even more concerned than the "traditional strongman" that won the iron tree 36 years ago.


    Because he set a series of records of possible future players, because he only covered the sky and made the UEFA champion, because he was also admonished by the English team, and finally he changed his mind and continued to stay in the coach position of the England team.


    What makes the world more concerned is that after the World Cup, the young coach did not appear in the public''s field of vision.


    He renewed the contract with the FA, signed a two-year contract, promised to bring another contest cycle to abdicate, and at the end of this new contract, he will never renew the contract.


    Continue to work together with the FA to go hand in hand, the young coach has no utilitarian considerations, but is simply moved by the sincerity of the team players.


    When the England national team triumphed over London, each team member was embraced by the people like a hero, met by the prime minister, met the queen, visited the royal palace, and Aldridge did not appear in the ranks.


    The young handsome came to China with his family, visited Sanshan and Wuyue, walked the Great Wall, and looked at the rivers and lakes. There is nothing to do in the hustle and bustle of the city, and the young and old are lingering in the natural scenery.


    It''s just that this trip with a family and a mouth is not chic, and occasionally it will be recognized by Chinese fans, and occasionally it will be harassed by the grievous calls of Millwall players. Others are in China, and Millwall players are all around the world. Not the same. I woke up in the middle of the night and listened to the players confusingly, but I slept badly on vacation.


    Compared with the departure of other club head coaches, the situation in Millwall is very special. Or because of the special existence of Aldridge, he is not leaving Millwall, he is still the owner of Millwall and will be replaced in the new season. Arthur is the chairman of the club, and no one will go to tea and cool things.


    There must be complaints in the locker room, but in view of this special situation, it is difficult to say that it is a disagreement with Aldridge.


    Klinsmann, who took over as the head coach, made everyone more or less skeptical. It''s just that this man can have Aldridge''s coaching ability, but stepped back and looked at the football world. Who will succeed Aldridge? Suspected by the locker room? Klinsmann and his gang have been together for several years, and they are slightly better in terms of psychological acceptance.


    On July 1, Millwall officially held a press conference, Klinsmann officially took office, and at the same time announced that assistant coach Jensen had left. Jensen had originally planned to go elsewhere to become a independent portal, but Aldridge failed to withdraw from the England team. It was also left by Aldridge. The coaching team of the English national team has been separated from the Millwall coaching team. The new coaching team of the national team, Aldridge delegated authority to Jenson, let him go to find candidates, anyway, this job is the most After only two more years, Jenson can get started with a lot of head coaches, which should be honed in advance, while Aldridge is only responsible for tactical design and on-the-spot command. Jenson is responsible for all the remaining work.


    After Klinsmann took office, the Spanish media began to stir up the flames.


    Barcelona looked at Ronaldinho, Real Madrid missed Henry, and the La Liga had a big shot. They didn''t mind coming for a shocking acquisition.


    However, on July 3, Klinsmann brought Henry, Ronaldinho, Nedved, Larson, Southgate, Lampard, Joe Cole, Klose, Ashley Cole , Schneider, Bout, Villa, Neal all players successfully renewed the news of UEFA football!


    Among them, the three captains of the team signed a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds, a five-year heavy contract!


    This almost declares that Southgate, Larson, and Nedved will all be mad lions!


    And the mad lion also showed unparalleled sincerity and told the world how they treated the loyal officials and the old officials who accompanied them to lay down the mountains and rivers!


    You know, Manchester United''s renewal of Beckham is only a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds.


    Millwall shot over Manchester United!


    Especially considering that Nedv¨§d¡¯s serious injury has not healed, it is unpredictable whether he can win the third army after the injury. This five-year new contract worth more than 20 million pounds has caused countless mad lions to applaud and praise the mad lion. Meaningful!


    Fleet Street lamented that Aldridge was so loyal as chairman, sent Buddha to the west, and paved the way for Klinsmann.


    Klinsmann was sitting opposite the renewal of the contract. Although Aldridge paid for it, Klinsmann could more or less win the hearts of the people. At the same time, so many players renewed the contract. In addition to making a sensation, another meaning, It is nothing more than helping Klinsmann increase his popularity and gaining support from the locker room. After all, the players get a new contract and the salary rises. In the Premier League, the head coach has this power.


    This time, the La Liga duo wanted to buy Ronaldinho and Henry.


    Millwall fans were slightly relieved. If Henry and Ronaldinho left, Millwall could have dropped directly from the world''s top level. It might not even rank first-class.


    Northern Ireland.


    On the beach, at dusk, a young man **** in shorts, fishing on the beach by boat, his friends play on the shore, and when he is on vacation in summer, he will play with his friends on the beach when he returns home, or Listen to concerts and dance in the city, free and romantic but not indulgent.


    This is the life he pursues, simple and comfortable, relaxed and comfortable.


    When he returned to the shore, his friend handed him his mobile phone and said, "Ring twice, we didn''t answer."


    He took the phone that rang for the third time in his hand, glanced at the caller ID, and found out that he was his agent. When he walked to the beach, the cool water washed the beach repeatedly, never crossing the calf. It was very comfortable.


    "David, don''t you think about my suggestion again?"


    "Andrew, I..."


    "Listen to me again, the last time you stay in Millwall, it will only be a substitute. Now, I have more than 10 clubs that are interested in you. They all promised you the main position, you, 25 Now."


    This Northern Irish youth is precisely Millwall player David Lamore.


    Ramall stared at the beauty of the sunset sinking to the end of the sea.


    Yeah, he''s 25.


    Substitute again, in this life, will always be a substitute in the giants, and, after a few years, may not even be able to hit the substitute.


    "Andrew, didn''t the club give me a new contract? If not, then after the contract expires, I will transfer freely. If the club lists me, you tell me that I will return to London to pack my luggage."


    "David, you should think more about yourself. Millwall is a giant, like the Bernabeu of Madrid, like the Camp Nou of Barcelona. In such a place, the success of a genius is to absorb countless geniuses of the same generation. Blood!"


    Andrew''s tone on the phone was both helpless and sad.


    As an agent, as Aldrich¡¯s brother, he always thought he could simply stand in Aldrich¡¯s position, but he was wrong, the agent is also a person, dealing with players, even if it¡¯s trivial for them. Will cultivate feelings.


    Millwall is missing one more Lamor, it is nothing more than to find a substitute, and Lamore''s persistence, lost, may be a golden opportunity to fly yellow, reaching like a running water, covering the water is difficult to collect, never return!


    Ramall was a child prodigy. At the age of 16, Liverpool smashed a lot of money and brought him to Anfield. However, he fell from the genius throne to the abyss. Without Millwall and Aldridge, where would he be now? The outside world does not know, Aldrich knows, but is not sure, it should be obscured, but Ramor himself knows that when he was frustrated and encountered the trough of life, he thought of escaping and wanting to return to his hometown. Just pass by.


    Northern Ireland is also a desert of football. The desert of the UEFA football field, when he was going to walk from the oasis to the desert, it was Millwall, and Aldridge gave him another option before he let him Here, returning to Northern Ireland is the hometown of glory, and is able to return with a leisure vacation.


    For him, there is no ambition, Millwall needs him, he stays, Millwall does not need him, he left to go to Audridge and Najib¡¯s house as a guest, and then carried his luggage, wherever he went It doesn''t matter.


    "David, Millwall has prepared a new five-year contract for you. I don¡¯t want you to sign your name because you will be forgotten in Millwall and will not be remembered by most people, even if you want to do it. Loyalty."


    "It doesn''t matter when you renew the contract, you let me know."


    "Ugh¡­¡­"


    Lamor faced the sea for a while, then turned and ran to friends, shouting excitedly: "I''m going to renew the contract with the team for 5 years, haha, there is a new contract!"


    ...


    After Klinsmann took office, the transfer signing work started immediately, but in the eyes of the media, it was only a finishing transfer of Millwall.


    ¡ê6 million knocked on the door of Groningen, Netherlands, plus the ¡ê2 million deposit they paid before, a total of ¡ê8 million will be paid to the new generation of Dutch Peter Pan Robben, but during the signing process, Robben ''S father, as an agent, demanded a high salary and was very nervous with Millwall, almost talking about the collapse of the transfer.


    ...


    Millwall''s second transfer signing silenced Fleet Street collectively.


    Millwall officially launched a special genius clause, one quota a year. Last year, they introduced Kaka, which proved that the quota was genuine.


    However, this clause was launched again this year, and the FA¡¯s first hearing passed the review, which allowed the outside world to see at a glance that it was a convenient door for the FA.


    Why?


    Millwall introduced a Brazilian defender.


    Guard!


    That''s right, it was his mother''s guard.


    How does the defender prove to be a genius?


    This is obviously too greasy and adulterous!


    However, Fleet Street didn''t fall into the rock, nor did it provoke a storm of public opinion, even though everyone knew that this was the face that the FA gave Aldridge, but no one thought there was a problem.


    The commander-in-chief now has a very noble existence in the hearts of the English people. Everyone loves him. He led the national team part-time and brought back the Hercules Cup. What happened to the opening of the transfer operation?


    Furthermore, this genius clause is not without loopholes. There is no standard definition of genius. From the perspective of a handsome man, he said that he is a genius. Who dares to refute? Or should we gamble? Three years later, and five years later, who will win and lose?


    Only "The Sun" used a picture to mock the FA.


    The content of the picture is very simple. The FA is written on a group of people. The young handsome points to a pig and says: This is genius.


    The text in front of the group of people symbolizing the FA is: Yes, it is a genius!


    The newspaper on the day of The Sun was spurned by thousands of people, and even caused mass protests. The original intention of the Sun was to ridicule the FA, but in the eyes of many people, it was also humiliating Audridge, so it had to be the next day. Deng reported apology.


    Who is this talented defender from Brazil?


    London Heathrow International Airport.


    It was light rain today. Two men walking out of the airport were carrying luggage. The young man in a suit and leather shoes stood side by side with a young man with a dark skin tone. The older youth is now the transfer operation team of the Millwall Club. The mid-level man named Clayton went to France alone and took Ribery back to Millwall outside the Lille Youth College. This summer, he went to Brazil alone and took this one-hand luggage The box, a boy with a slightly shabby backpack on his back brought London.


    The brazilian kid has a shameful countryman entering the city, and standing beside Creighton is also a little embarrassed.


    He felt like everything was dreaming.


    Two years ago, he had no ball to play and was abandoned by the Brazilian club. Later, a representative of the agent company signed him and sent him to a club in Brazil for professional training, and then he made it clear to him It will help him land in Europe in the future!


    It''s just that this landed in Europe. He never thought about it.


    I went directly to the international metropolis London and will soon go to Millwall!


    After a while, a majestic Rolls-Royce stopped in front of them. The Brazilian kid was startled and took a subconscious step back. Clayton patted his shoulder and smiled after seeing the license plate: "Don''t be nervous, This is to pick us up."


    The brazilian kid''s mouth was incredible.


    The car door opened, and inside was a man of about thirty years old with a gentle look. He beckoned to the Brazilian kid: "How about English?"


    The Brazilian kid sat carefully in the car while Craig helped him hold the door. The man in the car kindly helped him to remove the big backpack on his back. At this time, he said nervously: "After learning for more than a year, normal Communication should be fine."


    "Oh, that''s good, introduce myself. My name is Andrew Hall. Before signing your brokerage company, I own half of my shares. Since you were only 18 years old in September, I will train at Millwall during this time, etc. The new contract came into effect in September, but it doesn¡¯t matter. Millwall provided you with a dormitory. I¡¯ll take you familiar with the city today. I¡¯ll introduce you to the local situation. When you¡¯re tired, go to the Leeds Hotel for dinner. Don¡¯t think I Good intentions, huh, huh, I want to be your agent, and I¡¯m buying you up now, Tiago."


    Although the other party is open and honest, the Brazilian kid is warm-hearted. He believes that his destiny has changed, and he cannot do without the man in front of him.


    As Rolls-Royce started walking around the city, Andrew looked at the window and smiled casually: "Maybe you may not believe it. Someone has really high expectations for you. According to your age and position on the field, Maybe you will be the top player in European football in the next two decades."


    The Brazilian kid didn¡¯t know what to say. It seemed that the other party¡¯s expectations were too high. In his current situation, when others say this, it¡¯s mostly bragging or ironic.


    Andrew turned his head to look at him and said something that made the Brazilian kid understand.


    "Tiago Silva, Southwall captain of Milwall, when you were 18 years old in September, he was 32 years old."

 Chapter 882： Superstar Cradle

    Millwall was lively for a while in early July. Stars gathered to announce the renewal of the contract, allowing Klinsmann to create a "smooth transition" atmosphere to the outside world when he took office. Aldridge¡¯s office in Millwall did not Change, only the outside house label changed, from the head coach''s office to the chairman''s office, and Klinsmann has a brand new office of his own.


    On the desk in the office, the photos were placed on the scene of the lively and harmonious atmosphere when he renewed the contract with a group of Millwall stars.


    Players who participated in the World Cup came in a hurry and continued to go on vacation, while players without World Cup missions will return to the club in mid-to-late July to participate in pre-season preparations.


    Klinsmann had just taken office and stayed in the club to form a new coaching team. Jenson Bernard was taken away by Aldridge as an assistant to the England national team. At that time, he initially played with Aldridge together. The first team''s main coach, there are only three remaining, Bab, Craig, Leo, plus Boas, who later added to the coach''s core team, including Klinsmann himself, this can be formed A five-person core framework, coupled with special coaches such as physical fitness, tactics, and technology. The first-team coaches are maintained at around 10 people. It is not too wealthy, but it pays attention to efficiency and clear division of labor.


    Klinsmann did not go to recruit people from the outside, it was a change of direction to buy people''s hearts, and would not give the outside world a lead to enter the room to suppress the suspicion of Millwall''s veteran. Furthermore, these people, Bab, Craig, Leo three The person with the most seniority has no intention to be the head coach, otherwise, he has followed the footsteps of Torop, and now Torop is doing well in Belgium. Jensen¡¯s departure is also a symptom, but I don¡¯t know where Jensen will be in the future. Pick up the pointer.


    The supplementary staff are all selected from within the club. Millwall itself also trains coaches. The selection of materials is very wide, and it can even be selected from their youth colleges in other parts of Europe. Such promotion itself is to increase Klinsmann. The prestige and authority in the team must be established bit by bit. In this respect, seeking quickness is down, and seeking stability is the best strategy.


    Millwall is still the focus of the outside world, because recently they have VIP guests here.


    German football emperor Beckenbauer.


    His visit was not only a reunion with Klinsmann, but also a visit to Millwall.


    Beckenbauer and his apprentice Klinsmann walked together at Leo¡¯s youth training base in Millwall. During the vacation, the youth training base was very lively. Players were training or playing practice games on the neatly divided training grounds. Before the World Cup, the Millwall Juniors won the U15 Charity Cup. The two-year-old Argentinian Gemini will become the focus of the outside world at this time. Messi and Aguero have been seen in Beckenbauer. The performance in the training was also full of praise, and it is inevitable to think of the bleak situation of Germany''s 10-year talent gap. Look at the talents in the youth training base in Millwall, the cradle of superstars is not blown out.


    Klinsmann¡¯s mind has not been placed on the side of the youth team, although he turned the club up and down the next day when he took office, as if a newcomer came here for the first time, and the kind of power It feels really different from before, as if raising your hand and spreading your five fingers, you can hold the world!


    With the passage of time, the pre-season preparations are approaching, he has to work on the ground and put his mind on the team building work of the new phase of the crazy lion.


    The team that Aldridge left him cannot be said to be perfect, nor can he be described as "not weak". It must be very strong!


    Although Nedved''s serious injury is a hidden danger, but the frontline is complete, Ronaldinho, Henry, Larson, Klose, Villa, the younger and Ronaldo, as well as the loan return will stay this season In the Drogba team, these people, just the striker, do not need to worry about Klinsmann, as for the newly joined Robben, temporarily can not be considered.


    Although the midfielder is the most injured, leaving Pirlo and Gattuso, the core part of a central axis was removed, from the most defensive midfielder to the core of the organization, it can be described as injured.


    But Millwall is still well prepared.


    Lampard of the New World Cup champion, Joe Cole returns, Alonso, De Rossi, Pedretti, the fast-growing last season, the offensive midfielder and the young Kaka, as well as the reassuring substitute Lamo Well, are these 7 people enough? Perhaps the lower back position may make people feel uneasy, but Klinsmann has been guaranteed by Aldridge. Before the start of the new season, there will be new people in the team to report, which will fill the weakness of the midfield defense.


    As for the defender line, although the departure of full-back Zambrotta is regrettable, Klinsmann has ushered in the return of Ashley Cole, allowing him to eat a reassuring pill on the left back, just Sosgai The special partner, Materazzi''s position, who will fill him is quite nerve-wracking. In the position of the central defender, his own team''s reserve is not huge. Metzelder as the main defender of the World Cup runner-up, Klinsmann I plan to reuse this German compatriot in the new season. Tiago Silva, who is currently training in the team, can only wait and see. Barzali, Neal, and Lescott can only be used as substitutes. Right-back It also made him feel a headache, Schneider did not have a suitable substitute, Ashley Cole also had Baines to occasionally rotate, Neil attacked the weak defense, Klinsmann did not intend to make him a full-back The rotation of the right back-up position, Johnson of the youth team is 18 years old, and can only try next season, but dare not really be a stable back.


    Bout, the goalkeeper, is still trustworthy. As the third goalkeeper of the 2002 World Cup in Germany, Bout has no chance to play, but in Millwall, it is still okay to secure the first goalkeeper. Palyuka enters the retirement rhythm. Learn from experience when rotating properly.


    I didn''t think about it so much when I wasn''t headed home. When I really came to be headed by myself, my mind was quite thin.


    This is just a consideration of paper strength, how to condense into a whole, how to form a new phase of Millwall, in the post-Pirlo era, how should the crazy lion''s offensive and defensive system work, placed in front of Klinsmann, It is a difficult one after another. If you are a little careless, you may end up bleak.


    Seeing Klinsmann''s lack of state, Beckenbauer knew what his lovers thought. When he was the coach for the first time, the pressure was conceivable. He whispered: "Being at the helm of a giant like Millwall, we must first Have your own opinion. Secondly, don¡¯t turn your opinion into prejudice and contradiction. Finally, you must be decisive and firm. Once you shake your mind and wander, then you are not far from failure."


    Klinsmann recovered from his words, nodded, and temporarily suppressed his thoughts. He asked with a smile: "What do you think of Millwall''s youth training mechanism?"


    "Eye-opener."


    Beckenbauer heartily praised.


    "In the balance of the club''s record and economic factors, few clubs will boldly give young people such a wide space. Although Bayern Munich claims that the echelon of youth and seedlings adds up to nearly 200 people, but the number is large, the training process is not detailed enough. Millwall¡¯s investment in the youth training base is comparable to the middle and lower reaches of the Bundesliga. The youth team configuration of many clubs in Germany is very simple, like Millwall here, team doctors, psychologists, various professional coaches, physical therapists, etc. Wait, this is not a stadium, a dormitory, a coach with a whistle can match, I heard that for some young players who have performed well and started to emerge, have they already been equipped with a person in charge of public relations activities?"


    Klinsmann said with a smile: "Yes, it is because they are afraid that they will make mistakes. Children aged 15-16 are actually immature and easily tempted. If necessary, they still need someone to restrain them, lest they have not really Growing up splurged on talent."


    Beckenbauer suddenly envied the young men who received training here. In terms of youth training, Millwall¡¯s hardware facilities are top-notch. Looking at the world, there should be no better hardware facilities than they enjoy. The staff guardianship and training, from physical to psychological, and even foreseeable psychological fluctuations, the club is as comprehensive as possible, although in the end it is one word: money.


    How many clubs have such courage to invest so much?


    "Specific professional training, you introduce to me, so many children are dazzled and seem to be unsystematic."


    Klinsmann said with a smile: "Millwall has a wide selection of materials, but in training, he generally takes two and a half stages. The first stage is technical training. In this regard, Mullenstein is responsible for it. He is the entire youth team. The technical director of the echelon, his team will develop technical training according to the characteristics of each player, like Ronaldinho in the first team, and a new generation of C Ronaldo that is highly anticipated. Lustin took a lot of pains and tried his best to allow them to combine skills and practicality, and it is the same for other players. Therefore, the players who are promoted by the Millwall youth team, not to mention other qualities, are technically practical. It¡¯s not rough. Waiting for the U18 youth team stage is the stage of training skills and tactics for the finish line. If young players join the team later, you can postpone to the reserve team to start this stage. Attainment, in the later period, that is, to really prove yourself in the professional arena, learn from experience, sharpen the mentality, etc. At the same time, in the middle and late stages of transition, players have another training to focus on, that is to increase strength training and strengthen the body The ability of confrontation helps them reduce the incidence of injuries. Although this is a general framework system, but for different players, the specific implementation is different from person to person, Aldridge once said that the youth training base It is not a processing plant. Even if the player is 10 years old, he is a special individual. He must have a special training program for different individuals. So, as you can see, the coaches at the youth training base are five times as many as the first team. "


    Beckenbauer carefully thought about Klinsmann''s words, and nodded frequently, but also deeply thought of Aldridge''s words.

 Chapter 883： Every family has a classic

    Beckenbauer and Klinsmann walked all the way. Some young players rushed to Beckenbauer in excitement regardless of the risk of violating the rules of the team, hoping that the other side could sign a name on their jersey.


    Beckenbauer is like a kind old man signing these bright-eyed young boys, and even taking a photo with them, without a shelf.


    After the craze passed, Beckenbauer suddenly asked: "Maybe out of my playing environment, I was thinking, will these children become greenhouse flowers? Can Millwall have produced excellent young people over the years The players seem to stand the test."


    Klinsmann is also very proud of this point, saying: "There is a statistic on Fleet Street that Millwall started selling players to other teams, low-level teams even if they failed to enter the first team. Fortunately, the middle and lower reaches of the team, those players who have not played in the first team, together brought Millwall a total of more than 20 million pounds of revenue, although the profits from the first team sales of players can not be compared, but The cost of the ¡ê20 million anti-complementary youth training base is also very impressive. Millwall has become the club with the largest contribution of talent in the English League four in the past five years. There have been superstars and countless kicks. Ordinary players who feed their families in the professional league."


    Speaking of pauses here, Klinsmann went on to say: "The above is to say that if they are greenhouse flowers, they may be even more unable to survive in the lower league. This is the same as in Germany and England. The top league is not. Talent is difficult to gain a foothold, but low-level leagues, without strong will and strong physique, are even more unable to gain a foothold. In addition to the incentive mechanism to encourage players, the youth team also has frustration education. We are not behind closed doors. Raising in the deep boudoir, like the U15 Charity Cup before the World Cup, is to let them compete with teams all over England. In addition to training, they also have homework, that is, street football, go outside to see more, that is to avoid being assimilated, avoid Sitting on the sky, to the youth team over 16 years old, in addition to the local league, we also played a friendly match with the European youth team before, now with the European Youth Champions League, it is also a kind of grinding, like C Ronaldo, he is rising to the first team Previously, there were more matches played across Europe than the first-ranked players ranked last."


    Beckenbauer suddenly realized that Millwall is a two-pronged approach, with a reasonable and comprehensive training system, and fighting to fight, especially to find opponents of the same age and grade to hone and improve the quality of the game as much as possible.


    There is a hint of lucidity in contemplation. Beckenbauer probably understands the essence of Millwall''s training of players. The quality is not the weight. Rather than training a batch of unevenly promising players, it is better to focus on training a few elites. The same is true. Playing a thousand team friendly games is not as good as playing a European Youth Champions League. When it comes to the success rate, Bayern Munich has significantly more young player resources than Millwall, but the success rate Obviously not, the reason is here.


    Red Sun was leaning west, and just after sending off Beckenbauer outside the training base, Klinsmann did not turn around and walked back, but watched a Rolls Royce drive from far and near.


    Unsurprisingly, Rolls-Royce stopped in front of him and saw that Andrew first came out of the car, followed by a black man who got out of the car. That body, not too burly, is strong!


    "Andrew, is this?"


    "Ha, I forgot to inform you that Millwall''s new aid this season is actually not new. He was the club''s man a few years ago, Michael. This is your new season''s head coach. He is obedient under his hands. "


    The sturdy young black man walked in front of Klinsmann and was not afraid of life. Instead, he grinned and smiled with white teeth: "Boss, hello, for the first time, my name is Michael Essien."


    Klinsmann remembered it all at once, reached out his hand and asked, "How have you been in Belgium in the past few years?"


    "Okay."


    Essien is still smiling. After all, Belgium is a second-class European league. He upgraded with the team under Torop in the first year. He succeeded in relegation in the second year. He did not slip in the ranking of the Belgian in the third year, but was dissatisfied in the third year. At the age of 20, he became a member of the best team in the Ligue 1 season and is also the best player of the club of St. Tourden.


    After spending enough time in Belgium and getting a second nationality, he returned to Millwall this season. A few years ago, he stood out in the Millwall draft in Africa, but it was because he did not have an EU passport and landed in Europe. The first stop was arranged in Belgium.


    Klinsmann nodded with a smile, then hired staff to help Essien settle down.


    Although Essien always had a smile on his face, the smile disappeared when he left with the staff, faintly disgusting.


    Andrew has dealt with all kinds of characters from the three religions and the ninth class since he was a child. He is much stronger than Klinsmann. Looking at Essien''s back, he stopped talking and finally said nothing.


    No matter how Millwall whitewashes the peace, in fact this summer is turbulent for Millwall. Where is the turmoil? Where is it uneasy?


    Hearts.


    The old gentlemen may not have much influence.


    But young players, especially new players, must have a certain psychological gap.


    Millwall¡¯s signboard is shining, which is undoubtedly, but a considerable part of the gold content of the signboard is brought from Aldridge as the coach. Just like, Manchester United will always be Manchester United, but Ferguson¡¯s Manchester United, Atkinson¡¯s Manchester United , Can it be the same? (The former Manchester United manager of Ferguson was Atkinson. He coached for five years and had only 2 FA Cup titles.)


    On the way to the training base, Andrew chatted with Essien for a while. Essien talked about his regular phone conversations with Audridge during football in Belgium, and Essien himself was not unknown and joined the Ghana team in 1999. Participated in the World Youth Championships, and participated in the World Youth Championships in 2001. There are many teams in Europe who are interested in him, but he is famous, and it is Millwall who opened the dynasty in Europe during the same period. Knowing that, of course, he wanted to break through a sky in Millwall.


    Just came to the club to meet Klinsmann for the first time. It seems that Klinsmann does not know him. It seems that he wants to pay attention here and has to go a long way.


    ...


    European tycoons have begun to recruit heavily to expand their strength. For example, Real Madrid is a one-year superstar. This summer, the World Cup Golden Boot winner aliens were taken away from Meazza. Real Madrid''s "five-star battleship" began to enter the stage of history!


    In addition to taking Pirlo and Gattuso from Millwall, AC Milan, the founder of the old dynasty, also obtained Seedorf from the exchange of players from Inter Milan. Inzaghi and Shevchenko were on the siege. With Maldini sitting down, and counting No. 10 Rui Costa, the prosperity of AC Milan''s lineup is by no means a lie.


    The Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich has the same symptom as the German team. Half of the team is out of Bayern and the German team is not in the yellow. The old Bayern lineup needs to be updated. It is fortunate that Barak officially took over and carried the king flag, but the limit of hard power should not be overestimated. .


    Aldrich abdicated and UEFA football supremacy Millwall changed day and night, which is a good thing for European football ambitions, especially for the Premier League.


    The suspense that is nothing more than competition is back!


    It''s still early in the new season, but Fleet Street can''t wait to build momentum for the new season. There is a common saying: What are the traditional giants waiting for? The new season is the best time to go crazy!


    Yes, Klinsmann coached the most dangerous season, this is the first season, if the first season let Klinsmann successfully defend the title, it is foreseeable that the dominance of the crazy lion will immediately pick up, other teams think again I''m afraid it''s difficult to have a chance.


    To defeat the mad lion dynasty, first of all, we must not let the mad lion defend the new season successfully!


    Therefore, everyone expects the major players to make some moves in the transfer market to enhance the team''s strength.


    Manchester United took the lead in firing the first shot.


    "Ferdinand transfers to Manchester United for ¡ê30 million!"


    Manchester United defended that terrible defense last season, and the vacancy after Stam''s departure is now finally filled.


    The brave Manchester United then only bought a substitute goalkeeper for 1.5 million pounds in the transfer market. Perhaps Bartz''s occasional poor performance of the butterman made Ferguson always startled, and Ferguson soon lost his patience.


    Arsenal, which is also expected, only invested a shabby 7 million pounds in the transfer market, but introduced the Brazilian international Gilberto Silva cheaply, and the nearly free Kolo Tour¨¦, the professor carefully calculated The ability to do business is the same as before.


    Liverpool''s overall investment is not large, selling some people, buying some new aid, net investment of about 7 million pounds, when the Red Army will recover, no one knows.


    Chelsea, Chelsea, who has been rich and wealthy for the past few years, Bates is finally going to play. Chelsea is dead this summer, sending away three young players, recovering 1 million pounds, and then transferring to the free band from Paris. I returned to De Lucas, and bought another 18-year-old Portuguese striker Oliveira for ¡ê500,000. It seemed that I had high hopes for a hundred-fold appreciation. Finally, I calculated it. Chelsea made money in the transfer market. After 500,000 pounds, I don¡¯t know if Bates will jump up happily.


    Every family has its cupboard.


    This was the stage when a Premier League club began to fly to Huang Tengda. In addition to the three-year broadcasting contract worth ¡ê1.1 billion starting from last season, it also has a new partnership with the Barclays consortium starting next season. The income of the Champions League is also increasing. Rising, but each of the Premier League has its own limitations, but it seems to be stretched.


    Manchester United is the war between Ferguson and the Scrooge Board. If it weren''t for the terrible defense after the last season, the Board of Directors might not have given Ferguson any money to beat Ferdinand.


    Arsenal bear the debt of the new stadium, financially open source and save money, and the transfer market has always been a big gamble. Professors dare to gamble. Moreover, they have no capital to gamble. All the money they make goes to the stadium.


    Liverpool''s record in recent years has been poor. Over the past few years, it has been considered an over-investment, and the club''s owner is almost exhausted.


    Chelsea is even worse. Betts'' big bet is to follow in the footsteps of Leeds United.


    Leeds United, who had just sold the star, had to pay off the debt before the money was overwhelmed.


    The first to block the door was Millwall!

 Chapter 884： The handsome return, stunning Marseille maneuver

    No one in the outside world knows that in the three days after Leeds United sold Ferdinand to Manchester United, the club chairman Ritzdale was hiding from Tibet, daring not to return to the club or dare to go home, and gave Milwa every 10 minutes. Earl¡¯s former chairman, Arthur, called but couldn¡¯t get through.


    On the fourth day, he began to use the network, trying to contact Arthur, a whole day of efforts, to no avail.


    On the fifth day, he started trying to contact anyone in the Hall family. As long as he was in the Hall family, he was trying to find a channel for dialogue.


    Upon hearing the news, Andrew, who was in London, went directly to the Mediterranean vacation.


    Aldridge and Arthur are far away in Asia, and of course Ritzdale cannot be contacted. Instead, his friends in the financial circle contacted Barnett in the United States by telephone.


    Barnett was in a meeting and thought that something had happened in London, and he heard Ritzdale¡¯s almost pleading words: "Please tell Ling Zun, ¡ê9 million, can you postpone payment for a while?"


    Barnett only answered a word and hung up the phone.


    "I have no time to deal with this trivial matter."


    Even in the United States, Barnett will still care about the movement of the football side in England, the grudges between Leeds United and Millwall, he has heard about it, but he does not care.


    As for the ¡ê9 million issue, he really didn¡¯t have time to ask. He was in a meeting to discuss with the company¡¯s top management, but the project was worth more than $300 million.


    Ritzdale''s teeth were going crazy, Barnett''s words sounded humiliating, but he didn''t feel the deliberate taste. Instead, he was busy doing business in a hurry, and he didn''t care about the story of the ¡ê9 million.


    However, for Leeds United, ¡ê9 million is lifesaving money!


    The glory of Leeds United is short-lived. Since O''Reilly took office, the prelude to borrowing debt to buy a championship. With 800 days of coaching, the White Rose commander spent hundreds of millions of pounds on transfer fees. In the end, he left a mess on Elland Road .


    The signs of Leeds United''s defeat should have completely exploded last season. The fact that Woodgate and Bowyer were off the court made Leeds United become the public enemy of British society. However, during the same period, the White Rose young commander O''Reilly actually released an autobiography to earn Waiwai, the book titled "Leeds United is under test" was mocked by Fleet Street as: Leeds United is on trial!


    From the autobiography, it can be seen that O''Reilly was frustrated on Elland Road, and he was no longer ambitious. In his autobiography, he actually uncovered the secret of the Leeds United dressing room. This kind of thing has always been a taboo. To put it bluntly, the publisher is willing to sign a contract with him, and he is waiting for "breaking news in the locker room" to make money, otherwise, who buys your autobiography?


    Does O''Reilly understand the rules?


    The coach took the initiative to expose the dressing room. What''s the difference between this and wiping your neck?


    And Ferdinand was sold, O''Reilly and Ritzdale broke away and left the mark. In any case, the white rose who was also beautiful in the first two years was too cold and angry.


    Bates once said: The Romans killed all the blockers and eventually established the Roman Empire.


    This sentence itself has no problems, and it also applies to the football field. Millwall does not lay down all the European powers. Why should he establish a dynasty?


    But now Bates is the same as Ritzdale of Leeds United, and both have become objects of ridicule on Fleet Street.


    "Someone wants to build Rome one day, but everyone knows that Rome will be destroyed overnight!"


    The ambition to build the Roman Empire is very good, but the foundation of the empire is very weak by borrowing money and investing in blood. Once it collapses, all the efforts in the blink of an eye are put to the utmost, and the previous achievements are wiped out.


    Leeds United is presenting this to the public well.


    The huge debt, the financial crisis, and the already huge stalls that have been rolled out. The team''s salary expenditures are destined to cause serious losses every year!


    Creditors come home to urge debt, and investors have lost patience.


    Leeds United began to sell stars to cash in to "buy time", otherwise, they will fall to the point of bankruptcy and liquidation.


    Fans are cute, but fans are also often irrational, not headed, and don¡¯t know that money fans are expensive.


    Who shouted to buy who bought who, but which fan really counted this account? Understand what kind of risks this expenditure will make the club take?


    It is undeniable that Ferdinand has a sense of defection in seeking another master, but Leeds United just needs money, leaving Ferdinand not to sell? Waiting for the trusteeship agency to jump off the big sale? Or when the player can''t pay the wages, the player will freely leave with the club?


    In view of the feud between Leeds United and Manchester United, Ferdinand became a traitor, and this transfer fee, 30 million pounds, fell into the pocket of Leeds United, only half, of which 30% were taken away by Millwall and 20 % Was shaved by agent Andrew in the middle, poor Leeds United had to continue to sell stars, but where there was a transfer from Millwall to Leeds United, Leeds United received a transfer fee in half.


    Ritzdale invited the former England coach and Venables, who was caught in the black gold scandal. Ritzdale suffered a sulky affair on Millwall, and the team''s star was almost jumping off the building and selling it at a low price. He is still stingy, arguing that Leeds United still has the strength to compete for the new season Premier League championship...


    At the end of July, on a sunny afternoon, Fleet Street reporters went crazy to northeast London.


    Rumor has it that the young master who disappeared for nearly a month has finally appeared!


    Around a court for children to play and have fun, many parents stand on the sidelines to cheer the children on the court. The adults smile all over, and when they see the children fall on the court, they will encourage them and let the children climb up. Don''t be afraid of pain, continue fighting!


    Letting children play football is not only a good exercise, but also a very effective setback education.


    Aldrich, who returned to London from Asia, originally got off the plane and took Andrew¡¯s car back home. On the road, he met a community of adults who took their children to play football. Burt and Earl slept for a long time on the plane. Go play, Aldridge took them to join them.


    Melanie happened to be in London and hadn''t seen her baby son for nearly a month, so she came here.


    All three of Aldridge''s father and son became black, and he didn''t shave for some days. Fortunately, he didn''t look sloppy on the outside, but had more maturity.


    He knew everyone in the neighborhood and was a neighbor in the community. They chatted with Aldridge for a while, mostly praising him for leading England back to the Hercules Cup.


    On the court, the two brothers of the Hall family are naturally the same team.


    Children play football very seldom with such detailed rules and regulations. It looks like random kicks, blind kicks, more running and more exercise, which is good. Adults also feel happy in their eyes.


    On the court, Earl was obviously much more active than his elder brother Burt. He kept beckoning to his friends and yelling.


    "Follow him! I will fill the seat! I am there!"


    "Pass me! No one guards me!"


    When Melanie saw that Earl was very active, she also applauded and cheered for her son. She bumped into Aldridge''s arm and asked, "Who is more talented, Burt or Earl?"


    Aldridge pouted: "Children''s entertainment, why do you want so much?"


    "Oh, maybe they will also be engaged in the football industry in the future, and then play the next biography, it is really a family of football."


    "It''s too far, don''t want that much."


    At this moment, the adults on the sidelines exclaimed.


    Burt passed the ball to Earl, and then saw Earl face up to defend his children, made a beautiful Marseille maneuver, after doing this action, took a shot and sent the ball into the goal.


    After scoring a goal, Earl jumped up and smiled and looked towards the sidelines. Melanie was dumbfounded, covering her mouth and widening her eyes, her eyes full of shock and joy.


    Aldridge has a short absence.


    He can now say stupidly that he has a professional vision, yes, his younger son Earl is indeed talented. This talent comes from skill, which is related to his physical flexibility. He always tries skills when playing football. Practice sexual movements very seriously.


    But Earl is only four years old!


    Burt and a group of friends also ran to embrace Earl and yelled "YEAH" to celebrate.


    The grown-ups around applauded, especially when they looked at Aldridge with an admiring expression of ¡°taken for granted¡± and ¡°the father has no dogs¡±.


    Aldridge was immediately ashamed and asked him to come to a Marseille maneuver now, maybe he could not find football after half a lap.


    Melanie tilted her head and whispered: "Did you find that Burt is like you, Earl, like me."


    Aldridge thought about it, maybe, really.


    Burt is not as lively as Earl, and looks a little boring, but actually likes to be quiet, and looks calm, playing football is quite satisfactory.


    And Earl said nothing else, the flexibility of the small body is estimated to be inseparable from the inheritance of sports hot girl Melanie.


    When this kid''s game was about to end, a large number of reporters had flooded around the stadium. In order not to harass others, Aldridge took the initiative to go out and say something to the reporters, let them take some pictures, and estimate that this The image of untrimmed borders will be laughed at by many people.


    At this point, Aldrich was wrong. In the past, his image grew from a white-faced niche to a gentleman, and today he is dressed casually and full of scum. No, mature is true, don¡¯t have a wild charm, so that the major media on Fleet Street the following day, as long as the newspaper with his photo as the cover, sell crazy!


    Before leaving with two children in the car, Melanie lived in Audridge. When Audridge saw her stop talking, she asked with a smile: "Something to ask me for help?"


    Melanie shook her head, stared at his eyes, and asked, "Do you still love me?"


    Aldridge laughed out loud and shook his head: "Four years ago, I loved you, and four years later, I loved her, you can call me empathy and don¡¯t love, hehe, I think this topic, four years ago ended."


    "Who do you love the most?"


    Melanie still stared in his eyes, and Aldridge didn''t answer directly, thinking.


    Melanie smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that what you said was true. The selfish Aldridge, the favorite, is yourself."


    Aldridge was not embarrassed, but nodded in agreement.


    Of course, he loves himself most, selfishness, yes, that is selfishness, no one understands that he can¡¯t get up easily and miraculously relive again, why doesn¡¯t he love himself the most?


    Therefore, under the premise of loving himself most, the woman who loves him the most will make him as happy as possible, why should he refuse?


    "Are we still possible?"


    Melanie suddenly lowered her head, struggling to reveal her face. In fact, she already regretted it. Between career and family, she chose a career, but repeatedly thought that if she could choose a family, maybe she should be happier now.


    Aldridge had already let her down in her heart, although the woman in front of her was special in her own circle.


    "It should be gone. I am just a layman. What other men want, I will want it. Why did I show up with you at the beginning? You want to get one of them, don''t you? The desire has been out of the cage. Although I am not a good person, I don¡¯t want to be a bad man. I hope to contribute loyalty to the family, but I don¡¯t want to wrong myself. Fortunately, now, I am very happy, oh, yes, Yiwen I am pregnant and the expected date of delivery is in winter."


    Melanie smiled harder and said: "Guessed, Victoria said she had guessed this possibility when she was on the phone with Ewen. Alas, I really failed. I couldn''t be a qualified mother, and my career did not look as I expected. Development."


    I have to say that after the babes soloed, Melanie''s personal achievements were the highest, but compared to the combination of them or the comparison with other individuals, it seemed a bit failed.


    Aldridge laughed: "It''s not like you, take the urge to beat me on the boxing ring. In addition, to give you a suggestion, it is better to learn Victoria and switch to the fashion industry."


    Melanie remembered the picture of fighting boxing with Aldridge in the past. Her eyes almost burst into tears. After holding back her eyes, she suspiciously said, "Aren''t you kidding me?"


    At this time, Victoria had actually fallen badly. Her personally published album was appalled by the entertainment industry. She is now relying on Beckham''s reputation to support her career, and she is also in the process of career transformation.


    Aldridge said mysteriously: "Don''t you think that now Fleet Street criticizes her for not laughing, and the cool voices are starting to get less and less?"


    Melanie thought for a while, as if it were like this, and asked, "What about then?"


    "Oh, it''s a show for a year when a person is cool and cool, what if it''s a lifetime?"


    Aldridge waved goodbye to her with a smile, and left the car.


    Melanie pondered for a long time, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, her eyes lit up, and she murmured, "It''s entanglement to love you for a while. How about loving you forever?"

 Chapter 885： Sir

    Roses are the national flower of England. In England¡¯s long history, roses have always been a negligible existence. Like the red and white rose war between the Lancaster and the York family, the red and white roses in the royal coat of arms. See a similar rose totem.


    Compared with the mainstream red roses or white roses, Aldrich''s backyard is planted with a large blue fairy.


    That charming and charming blue color originates from the careful care of Yiwen. It has been dyed meticulously from the growth stage of the flowers. It takes a lot of energy to imagine. This is also the favorite of Aldridge. It is often appreciated in the backyard. Relaxed.


    And Yiwen has a crazy infatuation with blue roses. Perhaps it is the pure love symbolized by blue roses, and the sympathy of the blue fairy is a fate.


    As the sky was getting late, gently reached out in the backyard to touch the rose petals, and I was always careful to pick any piece of petals according to the text.


    Calculating the time, Aldridge left home for two full months. These two months are the longest time she has separated from him in these years. Aldrich is 26, and she is also 25. I thought that it would have faded long ago, and I should be able to face this separate time calmly, but after all, I still can''t stop the lovesickness.


    No matter how powerful Aldridge is on the outside and how beautiful the scenery is, Yiwen just used to smile and watch from afar, she was waiting for the man here, here is their home.


    After hearing the sound of the door opening in the living room, she was surprised by her face. She was pregnant in May, but she still speeded up and ran towards the living room. When she saw the Audridge who opened the door, she Suddenly for a moment, then Ren Jun couldn''t help.


    Aldrich had sunburned a lot, and his mouth slid a conspicuous gossip, which was in sharp contrast with the previous image.


    However, she rushed over and flew into his arms, Aldridge embraced her with open arms and said: "Be careful, be careful, be careful..."


    Yi Wenruo raised his head with a crescent moon, leaned up to kiss Aldridge''s lips, and withdrew his head as soon as he kissed, said softly, "How do you remember having a beard? It''s so stingy, it hurts."


    Aldridge took her hand and walked to the sofa to sit down and smiled bitterly: "No way, traveling abroad is often recognized, and then I will simply change the image, look, my uncle vicissitudes, If you wear sunglasses again, you are not afraid of being recognized."


    "Hahaha, what about Earl and Burt? They must also learn from you to pretend, but they can''t grow a beard, right, what about them?"


    "I was taken directly to Arthur by Andrew, and today my eldest brother also came back. The family gathered for dinner. When I was traveling, I shaved the two little guys. I didn''t look closely, and I couldn''t tell that they were Europeans."


    Yiwen''s smile doesn''t change. I can imagine the appearance of the two little guys after shaving their heads. It must be cute.


    Aldridge went upstairs to put down the suitcase, and then pulled Ewen into the bedroom. She took off her big dress directly, and Ewen looked red, and said: "Aren''t you going to have dinner?"


    "No, no, you are wrong. Although I am already burning, I can''t be a beast. Besides, you are five months pregnant. Be careful, be careful."


    Yi Wen raised her lips and smiled, saying, "Be careful, but I have endured it for a long time."


    Aldridge looked at her choppy career line, licked the corner of her mouth, and said: "This topic is temporarily stopped. I will continue to come back at night. It is really tossing. This dinner will be postponed until midnight. Come, come and see See if you like it or not."


    He took out a sheep fat jade pendant. After taking it by Yiwen, it felt smooth and smooth. She didn''t understand the pattern on the oval pendant and asked, "What is this?"


    "Character, Chinese character, Fu, I will put it on you."


    Aldrich put the jade pendant on her chest, and Yiwen stood in front of the floor mirror and admired it. It was indeed more chic than wearing jewelry like necklaces. She leaned her head back and snuggled in Aldrich¡¯s arms. In the middle, say: "It''s expensive?"


    "It''s not expensive, it''s cheaper than ordinary cars. It really brings you a rare treasure. Isn''t this harming you? Such a stupid thing, how can I do it?"


    Aldrich is telling the truth, he gave others things, he could afford expensive items, but he was unwilling to buy them, especially jewelry and the like can be carried around with him. It is easy to attract thieves when he moves across the market.


    This piece of Hotan jade is only 8,000 pounds.


    Yiwen put on his dress again and pushed Aldridge to the bathroom, asking him to shave.


    "I also want to surprise my nephew Bowen."


    "No, no, go and shave, go."


    "why?"


    "I want to kiss you, it''s that simple."


    ...


    At night in the Arthur''s house, the three Hall brothers gathered with their wives and belts. As for why they would be together, it was because they would collectively participate in the priesthood ceremony of Aldridge.


    At the dinner, everyone talked and laughed, but Arthur was often silent. Everyone saw the old man holding a pair of chopsticks in an awkward posture in his right hand, and tried to pick up the beef in the plate. But he always failed, so he picked up with two chopsticks. Beef is eaten on the way.


    Barnett smirked, and Andrew laughed: "You went to Asia, this chopsticks will not be used? Look, Burt and Erdo are skilled?"


    Arthur shook his hand, and the beef that he copied was lost again. He was annoyed: "If you have the ability, try it."


    "How hard it seems?"


    Andrew also tried to eat with chopsticks, but it turned out to be ugly and made him laugh.


    Aldridge touched his nose and turned to wink at the two sons.


    The two sons, like little foxes, frowned at Aldridge.


    To say that what made Arthur angry on this trip to Asia was eating. The chopsticks were always used by him, but the two grandchildren were extremely skillful in using chopsticks.


    How could he know that not only did Aldridge stay in London all these years, he sometimes went to Chinese restaurants to eat, even Melanie also liked Chinese food, and when he visited Burt and Earl, they took them out for dinner, and they had to taste her mouth. Chinese cuisine is delicious.


    In one or two visits, Burt and Earl will certainly use chopsticks.


    Bowen, who is like a little adult, also tried to eat with chopsticks, and found that he was exactly the same as the second uncle, and he frowned at a young age, which made Audridge look awkward. I really don¡¯t know how brother and sister-in-law educated the children.


    After supper, the three brothers sat on the stone bench of the artificial fountain in the courtyard in front of the door and lit a cloud of smoke. Barnett turned to look at Aldridge and suddenly sighed: "Andrew, Aldridge, you all know I want to make the Hall family a British nobility. Unfortunately, after working hard for more than ten years, I am still an upstart. Unexpectedly, Aldridge was going to be knighted. In the future, I will call you Sir Hall."


    Aldrich jumped off the stone table and faced the two brothers, wildly in smoke, saying, "Lao Tzu is a nobleman. In the future, everyone in the family will give Lao Tzu nostrils to the sky and the sky will fall down. I will carry it."


    "Hahahaha."


    Barnett laughed loudly, and Andrew directly whispered: "What kind of aristocracy is it? It''s illegal to kill? Someone gave you money for nothing?"


    Aldridge shrugged and shouted, "So I''m not rare at all, and I don''t know what the nobleman the elder brother is after."


    This is where Aldridge has never understood. Noble, noble, he is about to be knighted, but that is just a commendation of honor, without any substantive privileges, insisting that others will respect you, this is also farting, I used to talk to you People who are not right will have the slightest fear or change to you?


    Otherwise, why has Ferguson not yet unified? Why didn''t all the enemies in the Premier League slap him?


    Barnett laughed and said nothing.


    He was also reluctant to explain that, in his opinion, when Aldrich was mature in mind, he had no worry about eating and drinking. Although he was not top-notch, he was much richer than the middle class anyway. Unlike him, ten years ago, he was just A glass worker, unlike Arthur, used to be on the street, and later opened a small glass factory. In East London, where the fish and dragons are mixed, even locals must be blinded and excluded.


    He felt that Aldridge had not experienced the lowest level of life in society, and he could not understand. In this world, there is a gap between people and people. Equality is the biggest joke. Three, six, nine, etc. always exist. Nobles are people. people.


    Thinking of something, Barnett¡¯s expression became serious, and asked: ¡°Audridge, I¡¯m entrusted by Roman. I¡¯ll ask you again. Since you¡¯ve retired from the position of head coach Millwall, have you sold Millwall¡¯s Planning? He is willing to pay 1 billion pounds."


    Abu?


    Aldridge hadn''t spoken yet, Andrew asked with wide eyes: "Roman wants to buy Millwall?"


    Just a week ago, Andrew went to the Mediterranean for vacation, that is, playing on Abu''s luxury cruise ship. Abu''s interest in the football circle became stronger and stronger. Barnett, as a middleman, introduced Andrew to Abu and let Andrew explain to Abu. The game rules and basic status quo in some circles, so Andrew and Abu have also known for a short time.


    It''s just that Andrew didn''t know that Abu wanted to buy Millwall long ago, because Millwall is the most beautiful club in Europe and the focus of the focus.


    If this transaction can be completed, Mo said that it caused a huge sensation. I am afraid that it can be recorded in the history and become a landmark event. This brings attention and influence, and Abu is willing to harvest it.


    "Huh, Roman is really rich, although he knows European football is not long, but he really fell in love with very fast, Millwall and Barcelona, ??Real Madrid last season''s Champions League game, I accompanied him to watch in the stands, I did not expect A rich man like him is more excited than ordinary fans."


    Recalling the quarter-finals, Abu''s excitement in the semi-finals, Andrew couldn''t help laughing.


    It¡¯s hard to be unexcited. From a neutral point of view, the four games were torn apart. The attack was thrilling. People who weren¡¯t fans would be infected by the atmosphere.


    Aldridge didn''t respond to this, just said lightly: "Not for sale."


    ...


    The following day, in recognition of Audrey Hall¡¯s outstanding contribution to English football, the British royal family awarded him the highest honorary commendation for civil activities, the Grand Cross, and since then, the name of the young commander has a jazz title: SirAldrichHall.

 Chapter 886： Young apprentice

    Beckenbauer was a guest at Aldridge''s house before leaving London. The young and old had a great conversation. When he left England at the airport, Klinsmann saw him off.


    Before leaving, Beckenbauer put a hand on Klinsmann''s shoulder and said with a serious heart: "Aldridge is not only a good coach, but also a good boss, he is definitely not seeing money, otherwise he can sell Too many stars have been dropped, but Metselde was sold. In terms of team building, he should be the most comprehensive person Millwall considers."


    Klinsmann nodded bitterly and said, "I just think that the most obvious weakness of the first team is the defender. Real Madrid offers Metzelder. Millwall sells him. Aldridge is just right. I said that I would give me a satisfactory lineup before September, and now it seems that the guards really don''t know how to make up."


    Beckenbauer shook his head and continued to persuade: "Actually, you know better than me, because you know him, what did he say when Millwall let Pirlo go? Leaving Pirlo is a hidden danger, Pirlo Unhappy, it is equivalent to forcing Lampard and Alonso to find another way out. Now that Pirlo has left, Lampard and Alonso are competing with each other. Such benign competition can promote the team''s fighting spirit. This is really Olympic. Derek¡¯s courage lies in him. Believe him, in the English words, he is an excellent manager."


    Klinsmann watched Beckenbauer walk into the boarding aisle, then turned and walked outside the airport.


    Before Aldridge returned to London, the two kept in touch.


    It''s nothing more than the exchange of team lineups.


    Klinsmann has a say in the selection of players, but he is not too persistent, because Millwall¡¯s lineup thickness is actually kept within a reasonable range, no matter how much, it seems crowded, and the main force in many positions is not Dynamic, if he insists on introducing a world-class or first-class player, it is tantamount to making enemies in the locker room. Players who occupy the main position will certainly be dissatisfied, thinking that his position is threatened, and the replacement of the same position will survive The space is even narrower.


    When he became the coach, Klinsmann knew that this position was not as beautiful as he had imagined, and he was careful step by step.


    The frontline staff is full, he thinks that the midfielder can be strengthened in the midfield, and Aldridge will recall Essien from Belgium. However, he can¡¯t be considered a reliable person who can fight. In particular, Essien is equal to an outsider, and integration into the team will definitely require a process, familiar with the style of English football, and a transition.


    On the back line, he needs a substitute in the right back. The main Schneider is a compatriot with him. Naturally, he can be trusted. Klinsmann needs a heir. The compatriots naturally have a good common position. Of course he will not move Schneider. The main force does not even require anyone to compete with Schneider, but this requirement is more difficult.


    In addition to Johnson''s promotion to the first team, Millwall dug a full-back from Spain during the same period, 16-year-old Sergio Ramos, the Spanish player''s contract has loopholes, Millwall has a chance, However, Sevilla suffered no losses and gave them 6 million pounds in compensation, which made Sevilla not have many complaints.


    It''s just that the signing made Klinsmann cry and laugh, 16-year-old Ramos, is it useful?


    Not as good as 18-year-old Johnson is more trustworthy.


    But after all, he was demanding, and he no longer asked Aldridge.


    I thought that the lineup was stable and I could prepare for the new season with peace of mind. Real Madrid didn''t know what crazy it was. Maybe Pavin last season was really a shocking pit. In addition to the new season, Yero is also close to retirement. The big score was killed by Millwall Real Madrid realized that to strengthen the back line, Florentino looked at the World Cup runner-up Metzelder, and he wanted to buy Ferdinand, after all, the World Cup champion, but Manchester United''s 30 million pounds of heavy money Real Madrid is really reluctant to compete with Manchester United, too **** expensive!


    Metzelder''s performance in the World Cup, only looking at the results, should be very good, because in 7 games, the German team only lost 3 goals, there are 5 games with zero opponents, but specific to the individual, in fact, the performance of the German defender All are average, but Metzelder was born in Millwall, and became the main defender of the World Cup runner-up at the age of 21. Florentino expected that this boy might be a world-class star guard in two years. The transfer fee for sterling is just to ask for directions and see Millwall''s attitude.


    Unexpectedly, Millwall really paid a price: 18 million pounds!


    Florentino then called Aldridge and finally settled on Metseld''s transfer with a transfer fee of ¡ê13.5 million.


    This transfer would make Klinsmann unprepared and unbelievable.


    In his jigsaw puzzle of the new season, Metzelder is the main defender, so he was sold by Aldrich!


    What to do?


    Balzali topped?


    Then Neil and Lescott are left in the bench? Or the Brazilian kid who just entered the city?


    Originally, Materazzi moved to leave, Southgate was 32 years old, and the central defender was not the top level before. Various negative factors accumulated, it seems to be a pit!


    Klinsmann did not know how Aldridge was going to fill the hole, but he could not complain.


    Klinsmann was very moved when the club canceled the overseas business development in the summer.


    Many players on the team have competed in the World Cup, and the east wind of the World Cup has caused a football boom all over the world. Millwall¡¯s plan has always been formulated very early. This business development plan came from the team of CEO Adam. Originally in 2002 In the summer of the year, they wanted to bring the best football in Europe to the United States and open up the commercial market in the United States. As a result, Aldridge canceled the plan in one sentence.


    It is nothing more than to give Klinsmann a fully quiet preparation space. The players themselves have returned from the World Cup without much rest, and then go to play commercial games. Aldrich has experience and knows that it will lay hidden dangers for the team and add new coaches. When I took office, I wasn''t as quiet as I could. I honestly played a few warm-up games in London waiting for the new season to open.


    Aldridge stayed at home to enjoy the rest of the holiday after being knighted.


    In the early morning of early August, he closed his eyes and pressed his face to Ewen''s swollen belly with a smile. Yiwen smiled with a strange expression and asked, "Have you heard?"


    "Well, it seems to be heard, but it seems not. Don''t talk, be quiet, be quiet."


    Ewen reached out and stroked Aldridge''s hair without even looking at him. He closed his eyes, but the smile on his face lasted for a long time.


    Aldridge listened for a while and wanted to hear the voice of the fetus. In fact, he was not sure if he heard anything, but he felt very delicate and made him very happy.


    Yi Wen suddenly felt itchy, opened her eyes, and found Aldrich whispering to her belly with her mouth covered...


    She said with a cry of laughter: "What are you doing?"


    "I''m telling the child to let him calm down, don''t be naughty, otherwise I will smash his little **** after he is born!"


    "Sir Aldridge Hall, maybe you can make noise on the football field, but for the little guy in my stomach, I will definitely not listen to you."


    Aldridge was about to refute, the phone rang, he smiled after answering the phone: "Hi, Jenson, how are you?"


    "Fuck, you have given me all the work, do you say I''m fine recently?"


    "The work of the national team is very easy."


    "Don''t talk nonsense to you, a new young coach was hired by me, but he must visit you, yes, your fans."


    "Oh, I have many fans. If he wants to see me, today I am going to be a teacher. Let him come to the class. Maybe he will resign immediately after listening to my class."


    "Oh, yes, I will pass it on to him."


    After hanging up the phone, Aldridge lay on his back on the bed again, and Ewen leaned over to touch his cheek with his hair and said, "If you don''t get up, you will be late. Go to class the first day, okay?" "


    Aldrich turned around to hug her body, and "headed" her head with her head for a moment, then jumped out of bed at once, and said, "If you don''t do something right, maybe you''ve fallen from it. ."


    Although he no longer serves as Millwall''s head coach, Aldridge has found himself an idle errand, which is considered to be in a state of protection, so as not to enter a state of hedonism and death.


    Half an hour later, Yi Wen, as always, sorted out his suit and tie for Aldridge in front of the mirror in the bedroom, looked up and down, and nodded: "Well, Lord Jazz, you are back to your handsome image again."


    Aldridge made a wet kiss with her until she couldn¡¯t breathe. She laughed and said, ¡°You go to sleep, I will come back at noon, and then I will go to Arthur to pick up Bert Earl. At noon we will eat lunch ."


    "Huh? What Chinese food?"


    "Bert Earl likes it in China, hot pot."


    Yiwen smiled slightly and said, "Okay."


    After seeing Aldridge drive away, she really went back to the bedroom to rejuvenate.


    Inside the Millwall Youth Training Base, there is naturally their youth college building. Today there are more than 30 young coaches gathered here, some of them are local coaches of the Millwall Club, and some are from the Millwall Youth College from all over Europe. The number of places in the field is relatively small, one or two, so many young coaches of field colleges have broken their heads. Even the coaches inside the local youth training bases think that the places are not enough.


    The famous young master will launch a three-month, two-week coaching training course internally. How can they not be excited?


    When Aldridge in his suit and suit walked into the classroom, the 33 young coaches who stood up collectively stood up and shouted excitedly, "Sir Aldridge Hall, good morning!"


    Aldridge was startled, and just waved his hand: "Good morning, I don''t like people calling me Sir, usually communicate, just call Aldridge, after all, we are all Millwall."


    Aldridge really felt like he was walking into the wolf den. Look at the more than thirty pairs of bright eyes below, as if to swallow him alive!


    Especially the young man in the first row, Jamie Brown, blushing with excitement, really doubts whether his face will explode...

 Chapter 887： Young and handsome

    Since working as a turf worker in Millwall, Jamie Brown has spent the rest of his time studying football knowledge, almost to sleep and forget food, his efforts are in the eyes of outsiders. The thorns were borrowed.


    Has his hard work paid off?


    I can''t see it in the long run, but right now, he has got a chance to learn from the young master at close range, which makes him extremely cherished.


    A video recorder is assumed in the back corner of the classroom, which will record the content of the lesson taught throughout the course and promote it within Millwall.


    This is not a secret in itself, and Aldrich doesn¡¯t mind spreading it. After all, this course is also to continue the club culture, which is a way to create a foundation. As for whether it will mislead children, it¡¯s hard to say, football It is a field with a variety of attitudes. The fighting within the Netherlands has lasted for more than 20 years and will continue to fight. Who is right and who is wrong? God knows that the Netherlands is still the uncrowned king anyway.


    The young handsome, who did not bring any textbooks or notebooks, came empty-handed, took off his suit jacket on the podium, and smiled: "Today I will introduce some of the most of the three-month courses. The first part is The development of football games and the requirements of training are inextricably linked, so they are a large part. The second part is an introduction to the formation and tactics of the game. This part will focus on explaining individuals, groups, team tactics, and offense. Principles, defensive principles and other relatively broad things, but we can conduct case studies through examples. The third part is the systematic observation of the game as a coach and player evaluation standards, and the fourth part is the training principles and physical training. When these are used as coaches After the knowledge that should be mastered is explained, I will talk about the public relations philosophy that takes the position of the head coach, including how to deal with the media, how to deal with the locker room crisis, etc. Now, I just want to talk to you The purpose of teaching, that is to say, what do you hope to learn from me, what you want to learn, apply what you learn, what kind of foundation do you hope these three-month courses can help you lay?"


    Jamie Brown did not mind the eyes of others, and the first replied aloud: "I hope to be a self-style head coach like you."


    Aldridge replied: "What style am I?"


    "The style of passionate offensive football."


    "Really? But England I led was criticized as conservative."


    "Uh¡­¡­"


    Jamie blushed, not knowing what to say.


    If only Millwall is the background, or Millwall in the past three years, Aldridge was labeled as the offensive football leader, but his performance at the World Cup made him go to another one. extreme.


    Many people have the same mentality as Jamie, and they hope to become a very personal coach in the future, instead of being mediocre and becoming popular, without characteristics.


    Aldridge wrote the letters A and B on the blackboard, saying: "Two teams, A and B, I coach A, the opponent is B, the first question I think is: A can hit the ball B''s goal, at the same time, B can''t break A''s goal. If I do what I want, then, I win. This is the basis of my thinking as a coach, and it will never change. As for how to achieve it, Is it important?"


    Jamie asked doubtfully: "Isn''t there no coaching style?"


    Aldridge chuckled, looked around the audience, and said, "Style? After all, it''s a kind of vanity. Just like ordinary people want to be a star, but is it more important to be a star or to eat? If you starve to death, you can still be a star. The same is true for football stadiums, you want to have your own style, but is style important or winning is important? This kind of vanity can only be pursued when you can eat enough and don¡¯t worry about starvation. On the court, when you continue to win, you can think on the basis of victory. If you are a coach before you decide to be a utilitarian or romantic coach, then I can tell you for sure, If you are lucky in your coaching career, you can have a glorious period, but it is impossible to last forever and cannot last for a long time. Why? Because the general trend of football is constantly changing."


    As everyone showed a thoughtful expression, Aldridge continued: "One hundred years ago, someone firmly believed that 9 forward tactics could sweep the world. At that time, in England, football was head-to-head, one-on-one, close to heads-up, who backed , Who passed the ball is a coward, but the pass still appeared, and then England laid 235 tactics and ruled football for 30 years, then there was WM tactical change, and after nearly 30 years, Italy¡¯s chain Defensive became the main melody, the four backs began to become the standard and gradually developed, another ten years later, the Dutch full-attack and full-defense detonated the third tactical revolution, and has influenced so far. In these constantly changing waves, what we are talking about now Style, romance, or utilitarianism, do not always dominate. In other words, if you define a style for yourself from the beginning, then you must pray to God. The general trend of the altar is just the other side of your style. You want romance, but utilitarian football floods the entire football world. You want utilitarianism, but football has become popular in offensive football. You want to stand out. It really depends on luck. And, why are there so many changes in history? Because later people did not confine themselves to thinking in the framework left by their predecessors, and did not accept the definition of "soccer should be played like this", what about today? Developed, do you think that a routine, a fixed style of football, will always succeed? Your opponent, constantly researching you, will definitely spend more energy than you, because you are only one person, and if you are on the cusp, you The opponents will be innumerable, can you still have the confidence to change with the same?"


    Aldridge''s words are all talk of experience. Countless people in the world can say that Millwall is an offensive football, but how exactly does it attack, specific details? In fact, every season is different. If there is no change, it has been thoroughly studied by opponents. Where can it last forever?


    For him, it is not against these young coaches, just to better teach and teach his own experience.


    These coaches also understand the core idea that Aldridge wants to elaborate.


    Jamie Brown has an epiphany. Vanity like style is not important. Survival and eating are the most important things. Football is winning!


    When you can continue to win, you can pursue vanity, then you can pursue it, you can''t pursue it, don''t starve yourself!


    Although Aldridge has no strict admission in his life, there are many young people who are now young. Ten years later, twenty years later, the head coach who is on the top are willing to admit that he is a disciple of Aldridge. As for the style ? Not really, but there is a firm philosophy that formed the consensus of these disciples, that is the philosophy of survival!


    Therefore, there are coaches who can do everything, and some can be eclectic. Compared with academic orthodoxy, the disciples of Aldridge have more wonderful things that "demon deviates".


    After the lecture on the first morning, Aldridge took a group photo with all the people present. The handsome young man who had no frame in front of him was so popular that many people wanted to get his personal contact information, he only left An e-mail box, if others have any questions, they can communicate via email.


    As he was about to leave, Aldridge saw a young man in a suit and leather suit outside the door. The appearance of the other party made Aldridge feel familiar, but he couldn''t remember the name at once.


    It wasn''t until the other side approached and reached out that he would introduce himself, Aldridge put the man in the seat.


    "Sir Hall, my name is Andrea Stramaggioni, and Mr. Jensen Bernard told me to come here to find you. I overheard one morning outside the door of your lecture very exciting."


    Aldridge looked at the little handsome guy, shook hands with each other, and asked directly, "Look at how young you are, how old are you?"


    young?


    Stella Maggioni found this question strange, because Aldridge looked similar to him, and in fact he knew the age difference between the two.


    "Uh, 26 years old this year, about 4 months older than you."


    "So we are of the same age."


    Stramagioni couldn''t help crying.


    You are 26 and I am 26.


    Both of us are handsome, but you are famous all over the world.


    "Janeson recruited a new national team coach, you have one?"


    Aldrich asked curiously.


    Stramaggioni solemnly said, "Yes, I am applying for the job. I am very grateful to Mr. Bernard for giving me this opportunity. I hope to serve the England national team in the next two years. Learn from you and Mr. Bernard."


    "Hi, all colleagues, there is nothing to learn or not to learn, don''t use the honorific title, just call me Aldridge, go, eat together, tell me your resume, you should be Italian, right? ?"


    Stella Maggioni was weird by Aldridge''s approachability, and was not easy to quit. He could only follow Aldridge to go out and tell his resume.


    This little Italian guy has a tragic career. He retired after a serious injury before he reached the age of 20. In fact, he did not play professional games very much. He told Audridge that he played for the only season he played for the Italian club Bologna. Italy has heard of Aldridge. It was about 78 years ago. At that time, Aldridge was mocked by the Italian media. Millwall was also humiliated. Since he became a coach, he also had to pay attention to Millwall. After all, he was crazy. The lion is too hot.


    He only started to coach the team last season, but it is also a tester. The coach is the AZ Sports U17 youth team, which is almost negligible, because the real big-name coach is a little famous, and he will not write in his resume Which youth team has coached in a season...


    England recruited a new national team coach. He just came to try his luck. He was hired by Jenson unexpectedly, which puzzled him. After getting in the car of Aldridge, Aldridge solved it for him. doubt.


    "First, we like young people, we don¡¯t like old antiques. When we are really crazy, we always feel uneasy when we bully. If you are wrong at work and call you a **** dog, we will feel at ease. Second, we don¡¯t like traditional coaches in England very much, lack of new ideas, and are limited to the rules and regulations. We are in England ourselves, and we need some new ways of thinking. You are Italian, which is good. Sometimes observing the entry point will be related to Different, right or wrong, your opinion will never be an English clich¨¦."


    Stella Maggioni was convinced by the unusual comments of the young commander, and his mentality became lighter. He asked again: "But I am so young, working in the national team, can I serve the public?"


    "Serve the crowd? Who do you want to convince? Oh, it turns out that your ambition is not small, you want to usurp my position? Well, you take the position of the head of the Three Lions. I was relieved last time. "


    Stella Maggioni is a ridiculous one, and can only helplessly say: "Audridge, can you show the majesty of the World Cup champion?"


    Aldridge, who was driving, seemed to smile: "When you work, you know what majesty is."


    Stramagioni smiled, looking forward to it.


    He just relaxed, and Aldridge''s words made him instantly nervous.


    "It is one and a half months before the start of the 2004 European Cup qualifiers. I will give you a month to collect and analyze all the opponents'' data of the teams in England."

 Chapter 888： Still breathing

    Stramagioni was kindly treated when he first saw Aldridge. At noon, he went to the Chinese restaurant with the young masters to eat a hot pot that made him awkward. In the afternoon, he returned to the youth training base with the young masters. Although it is taught twice a week, it is actually one day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.


    Stella Maggioni listened as a coach of the national team, and also became a good baby and a good student to listen carefully.


    As evening approached, Aldridge spoke freely with many coaches who were reluctant to leave at the youth training base. According to the content of the afternoon lectures, the development trend of modern football games was simple and simple. This academic discussion atmosphere was harmonious, and each expressed their own opinions. It is also an excellent experience.


    After being separated from Stella Maggioni, Aldridge received a call on the way home while driving home, an invitation to dinner from a Premier League coach.


    Aldridge smiled and whispered after hanging up the phone: "It''s true that Feihuang Tengda''s value has risen. After knowing for so many years, you finally know that you should invite me to dinner?"


    He wasn¡¯t talking about anyone else, it was Moyes who was in Everton five months ago.


    Now Moyes is only 39 years old, and is also a young coach in the European football world. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a young coach, but he was previously coaching Preston, well-known under the Premier League, and in the middle and lower clubs of the Premier League. In his eyes, he has already hung his name and is a popular candidate for coaching. When he reaches the Premier League club, even if he cherishes talent, he is at best like Ferguson, and he invites him to be an assistant.


    In the past few years, Moyes has established a good personal relationship with Aldridge. He has also cooperated on official matters. To put it bluntly, it was Moyes who helped Aldridge train his troops.


    Everton can be regarded as an old powerhouse in England, but the results of the past ten years have been bleak, and the color of powerhouse has faded. It is also because the board of directors has been tossing and gambling in the transfer market. On the one hand, they shouted to build a new stadium for the club, and they will talk about the grand plan at the two ends of the day. At first, the fans were encouraged, but they gradually became numb, only when the board was a wild **** fart, on the other hand, Ever In fact, the boss is actually playing the old trick of the team listing and selling shares, trying to use Everton as a springboard to get rich overnight, but unfortunately the football market bubble has burst and investors have avoided the football circle.


    After nearly ten years of tossing, Everton was badly hurt. Mo said that he competed with his rival, Liverpool, and struggled with the ranks of relegation teams almost every year. The only good thing was that he could succeed in relegation repeatedly.


    Moyes walked out of the small temple in Preston and came to Everton and found that it was actually still in a small temple. Perhaps the budget was increased by ten times compared with Preston, but it was placed in the Premier League. On this stage, the budget at this point is really small, and the days are still over. It is his advantage to work hard and keep his family. In Preston, is it the new three years and the old three years?


    Becoming a club manager in the top league, Moyes couldn''t help but raise his eyebrows, at least the pattern has risen. In the past, he met Aldridge, and he was more or less sighed. There is no way. The situation is stronger than others.


    Now, he is waiting for Aldridge''s arrival in a high-end restaurant in London.


    Although Everton could not make a big deal for his transfer budget, but when he came to the Premier League, he could have seen through the status of the giants. Moyes, who stood up and had a strong mind, whispered to himself: "I was really stupid before. Now that I understand it, I don¡¯t have to rely on people¡¯s breath. It¡¯s the giants who actively throw the olive branch and choose it.¡±


    For the highly mature youth with rich resources, the competition in the team is very fierce. Young players need to exercise, but they lack opportunities. It is a normal way for players to rent out. It is also a necessary process. The end of the game is mostly in the middle. Moyes was originally in Preston. Every day he came to the door and begged Millwall to lend him a good seedling. Now he wants to come. He is anxious and has no need to ask!


    When the giants expand the channels of competitive cooperation, there will be a satellite club, which is the channel for the exercise of foreign players.


    For the giants like Millwall, the most popular player in the past few years is the Preston Club. In foreign countries, France also has two clubs. Belgium now also has a St. Tourden. Rumors that Groningen, the Netherlands, is for sale When Robben gave Millwall, he also reached a cooperation agreement.


    The giants want to be stronger and bigger, not only to broaden the channels for talents, Millwall has done this work very well in the first eight years, they can bring stars of hope from Africa, Asia, and South America, not even in Europe. Say more.


    Another task is to expand the exercise stage for young players. The satellite club and cooperative club are the focus of Millwall¡¯s business development in the future, accelerating the growth of talent, and then making it competitive. Whether they can stay in the team to stand out is another. At the same time, even if you can''t reach the level of the giants, at least selling cash, can also supplement the youth training investment, forming a virtuous circle.


    Having figured this out, Moyes laughed that he used to be too stupid, he didn¡¯t say anything to himself, and he must be grateful to the other party. In fact, the other party should pay a certain amount of sincerity. After all, not every club is willing to help the giants for free. Military training.


    When Aldridge arrived, the young handsome smiled and hugged each other with Moses who got up to meet. After sitting down, Aldridge was nowhere to be seen, ordering directly, and then toasting Moyes with water instead of wine. , Said: "Since you took office last season, I have never congratulated you, hehe, new weather in the new season, I wish you every success in coaching Everton."


    Moyes raised his glass and shook his head and said with a smile: "How could it be smooth sailing? Everton has been weak for ten years. I haven''t had the ability to turn things around. I have changed you and maybe it will work."


    Aldridge laughed: "Modern football has no money to play, don''t give me money, let me go to Everton? I have to live a few years of hard work, and I might save some family and be exploited by the board of directors, ha Haha."


    Moyes nodded, his expression suddenly stiff, and he heard an out-of-string sound from Aldridge''s words.


    There was a little tremor in the calm and calm mood.


    Yes, according to Everton''s board of directors, save yourself a few years of frugality, I am afraid that they will not save a leap of capital, but will be exploited by them!


    I don''t know if the young commander was intentional or unintentional, Moyes thought he might still take it for granted.


    Giants, after all, giants!


    Give you a face and just smile back, don¡¯t bargain with the poor and self-righteous poor capital as a bargaining chip.


    Everton needs some fresh blood. Moyes'' original plan was to negotiate a fair loan agreement with Aldridge. Millwall loaned the player to Everton. He guaranteed the player''s playing time and then in some Millwall in the future The signing of a buyout treaty on players who cannot be reused is considered to be the first opportunity when Millwall sells to supplement Everton''s strength.


    However, from beginning to end, Moyes dared not bargain with Aldridge.


    This mentality of being on thin ice is actually like the situation when Aldridge sat next to Ferguson to discuss the loan of Manchester United players.


    What Ferguson said is what.


    bargain?


    Are you qualified?


    You dare to verbose, people do not rent players to you, and even cut off the exchange between the two clubs, the giants did not lose, how about you?


    After a meal, it was the same as in the past few years. Moyes talked about the loan of several players. Aldrich also seemed quite generous. Which side needs to be strengthened in the lineup? Aldridge directly proposed a Moyes Hard to reject the name.


    He wanted to improve the offensive end. Aldridge rented Rooney back to Everton. The prospect of the new England golden boy is optimistic about the future. Moyes is not a main force, but a backup forward. Rooney is young, although he can¡¯t Expect to pick up the beam, but occasionally it can make people expect some.


    The name that really motivates Moyes on the offensive end is Ribery. This wing player will greatly improve Everton¡¯s wing offensive strength. Unfortunately, it is still a loan, not a buyout. Moyes is a company. The word "buy" doesn''t dare to mention it. After studying the performance of Ribery in these years, this person is the player who played for Ronaldo. Ronaldo, the Portuguese kid, has repeatedly hit the wall in the hype of European giants. It is speculated by the outside world that unless a price that breaks the world transfer record is offered, it is impossible to sit down and talk with Millwall, and Ronaldo himself is not tempted.


    Also to strengthen the back line, Aldridge loaned Lescott to Everton.


    The loan of the three players made Moyes very satisfied. He couldn''t help but actively sent Audridge to leave after dinner. The summer had not passed yet. When the moon was on the branch, Moyes stood alone at the door of the restaurant and the breeze passed. He suddenly With a chill, he laughed at himself, and he felt cool in his heart.


    It¡¯s good to stand up, and it¡¯s good to have a formal negotiation with the young commander, but in the end, what is the difference from the situation a few years ago?


    Still breathing.


    Regardless of starting from reality or considering long-term interests, Moyes found that he could not hold his breath.


    Think of Charlton''s previous season, and Tottenham last season, loaned Millwall players to help the team get a good league ranking, although the players still have to return Millwall, but the Premier League rankings The rise is the increase in the bonus at the end of the season, and the transfer signing can increase some popularity. Fortunately, it is to give the outside world a rising momentum.


    Moyes thought that he was a big leap from Preston to Everton. As long as he worked hard for a few years, he could one day face to face with the young commander on an equal footing. There is a hunch: I am afraid that in this life, it is impossible to face the young handsome as an opponent!


    Sitting in a taxi to the airport, Moyes felt aggrieved at the thought of Aldridge talking about lending Rooney to him.


    "Wayne is still a child. He is passionate during his adolescence, and he will inevitably need you to look after him. In particular, he can monitor him to the best of his ability to prevent the scandals in Asia from happening again."


    Moyes had a bad impression on the chest and beat the package ticket.


    At this point I came back to think about it carefully.


    Damn, what did he promise?


    Actually promised a nanny!


    And still staring at Rooney for supervision, to avoid him to buy spring again?


    Should this be a worry for a Premier League coach?

 Chapter 889： Millwall Womens Football was established

    In English football, there are two contemporary overlords, the first is even the European overlord, named Millwall, nicknamed mad lion!


    Another overlord, Mo, said that more than 2 billion fans all over the world have never heard of it. Perhaps many English fans have also heard of it. This overlord is named Doncaster Rovers Bellis.


    This nickname Bellis, which can be interpreted as a "beauty" team, is a women''s football club.


    It has a history of 33 years. Although many professional football clubs have used their financial resources to build women¡¯s football clubs in recent years, they have continuously won championship trophies, but their overall performance and stability. Although Bellis claims to be a far-fetched leader, it has also convinced the English women¡¯s football industry. The men''s football has a 150-year history of development. They have been developing slowly in amateur, semi-professional, and professional occupations over the years. As for the salary of the women''s football, the annual salary of the largest player is not as good as that of Beckham''s one-day salary.


    August 5, 2002.


    One kilometer east of the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium at Millwall¡¯s old stadium, it was bought from Millwall a year ago. After a year of renovation, it is now a small stadium that can accommodate 8,000 people. , And owns an office building, this small and exquisite but still inscrutable little world, the club listing ceremony will be held today.


    Fathers and fellows from East London have arrived, and the cost of entering the ceremony to watch the ceremony is only 1 pound. Even Fleet Street has heard about it, making it crowded.


    When a mature woman in Millwall sportswear took a football and led a 22-person women lineup out of the player channel, eight thousand people on the scene stood up and applauded.


    At the forefront is the head coach of the women¡¯s football team, named Edwina. She smiled with tears in her eyes and listened to the thunderous applause at the scene. She couldn¡¯t help but think of the past many years, she and a group of girls Together we can only play football in public places, simple play, no training system at all, go to the sun and wind, occasionally go to amateur competitions, laugh together, lost together, if only for entertainment, it¡¯s okay, but women how?


    Can''t women have dreams?


    Women really don''t understand football as much as the British sullen gentleman despise?


    Yes, maybe I don¡¯t understand, but even God can¡¯t stop us from dreaming!


    Edwina remembered the encounter with a man many years ago.


    At that time, she had just retired from the stage of the semi-professional league, but she was only in her early 30s, but because of the lack of systematic training, the older she was, the more she could not bear the physical load. She could only enjoy football in amateur games occasionally. Fun, since then, she has come together with some young girls who love football, they have participated in the local community-based community development plan launched by Millwall, such a plan, many professional clubs in England have it, which is rooted in the community, Give back to the community, or one of the projects that interacts with the community, just like Millwall stars will do charity.


    At that time, a group of girls, under the guidance of coach Millwall, hoped to kick out their own world. At that time, Edwina saw the young coach who just won the first Champions League. Derridge, she remembered everything Aldridge said to her at that time, but as time passed, she felt that the other party might have forgotten.


    Unexpectedly, this day has finally arrived, and the young commander has fulfilled his promise of the year, although that may be trivial to him.


    Millwall Women¡¯s Football Club, established today!


    These girls who love football in East London, with their homes, their bases, and their support for their professional development, let them see the bright future and radiate vigorous momentum.


    Wearing brand-new jerseys, brand-new sneakers, and walking in the brand-new small stadium, the most simple smiles on the faces of these unsurprising girls emerged from love and pride!


    Even if they knew that today if there wasn¡¯t that handsome young man coming, the old folks who came to the scene might be at least half less, but they couldn¡¯t reduce their happiness by half a star.


    When Aldridge brought his family to the sidelines, the atmosphere reached a climax, and a name echoed throughout the small stadium.


    "Aldrich!"


    "Aldrich!"


    This is the first time the young coach has taken the initiative to appear in the eyes of the fans after the World Cup. The rows of heroic women''s football standing in a row on the field applauded, and many young female players stared at Aldridge without concealing their affection.


    The youngest player on the team is Daisy. She is only 17 years old. She has extraordinary athleticism and is a technical player. She is thin and has freckles on her face. She wears a bunch of ponytails. Excited.


    The older Mandy leaned her head slightly and whispered, "Daisy, you definitely dare not kiss him."


    Daisy turned her head and glared at Mandy, unwilling to show her weakness: "Who said I dare not? Dare to bet?"


    "What bet?"


    "The loser brushes his opponent''s shoes for a month and wash his shirt for a month!"


    Poor women''s football, this kind of job of cleaning shoes and jerseys is placed on the men''s football side, and there is a person in charge. When they come to them, they have to do it themselves.


    Mandy hesitated. Daisy''s tone was so great that he would never lose.


    "Huh, are you afraid?"


    When Daisy saw that she didn''t speak, she rose a bit.


    Mandy rides a tiger and has to agree.


    "Look, you lost."


    At this time, Aldridge walked into the stadium holding the hands of Burt and Earl from left to right, and Yiwen, in a white dress, stood on the sidelines and looked at him with a smile.


    Aldridge walked in front of Edwina, released Bert and Earl in both hands, and then embraced Edwina in a courteous manner. When he turned around, Earl handed the microphone to him To him, at this time, the stadium is still deafening cheers, cheering his name.


    "thanks, thanks¡­¡­"


    Aldridge said thank you five times in a row, before making the scene quiet from the hustle and bustle.


    He turned his back to the women''s football players, and the little girls stared at him without blinking.


    "When I decided to build a women¡¯s football team for 30 million pounds, the first sentence that the staff around me said to me was: Aldridge, you are crazy! The second sentence is: 30 million pounds, we can I bought a world-class star to make Millwall stronger. When I think about it, I think of what British men often say in private: women, do you know football? Of course, no celebrities dare to say this publicly That way, he will take legal action and will be condemned by this society for sexism, but this is the true idea of ??many British gentlemen."


    There was a lot of silence on the scene. Many men in the stands actually came here to pay ¡ê1 for the purpose of seeing Aldridge because of their love for the mad lion, not really how interested in the establishment of the women¡¯s football club. Is the fact.


    And what Aldridge said is also true.


    Behind him, the women''s football players squashed their mouths, and their expressions were aggrieved.


    Aldridge paced in front of them, and said lightly: "Sometimes, you have to admit that they, women, don''t seem to really understand what football is! They were shoveled, and they stood up and continued the game. Pretend to be injured. They don¡¯t fall, and don¡¯t let their opponents get sent off. They don¡¯t fight with opponents on corner kicks, and they don¡¯t go to referee theory. How can they play well like this? , Who can stop them from playing football? No! In order to play football, they gave up full-time work and spent a few odd jobs outside of playing football in order to play decently and enjoy the short-lived happiness brought by football The wind and rain cannot shake them. They cannot see that the Premier League has become a splendid scene of billions of dollars in the huge industry. Even if they become household names, they cannot earn the property of a sports car or a mansion. However, they are still playing football, they are still laughing and sad because of football, fell down and climbed up, fell down and climbed up, England, every week, there are tens of thousands of girls playing football, they moved me, let I am respectful, and the light that blooms on them is not what Millwall needs, insists on, and hopes to carry forward the spirit of mad lion forever?"


    After three seconds of silence at the scene, thunderous applause broke out again, this time, not for Audridge, but for this women''s team.


    And the female players behind Aldridge, many of them were in tears, the expression of grievance was swept away, and they were filled with emotion when they looked at the young commander. This legendary young commander really has extraordinary magic, a few words The toss made people''s hearts surging, which was really annoying, and they had to secretly wipe away tears.


    Aldridge turned around and smiled at the female players: "I had an agreement with Edwina a few years ago, as long as I am in Millwall for a day, I will give you a stage to realize your dreams, now The land beneath your feet is the jersey you are wearing. Here, I, Audridge Hall, proudly announce that the Millwall Women¡¯s Football Club has been established! A member of the Women''s Football Professional League!"


    In the cheers of all the female players in the team, Aldridge dropped the microphone, and then began to shake hands with them one by one. As a result, he was surrounded by the female players before shaking hands with the second one. Under the gaze of 8,000 spectators in the field, they were actually thrown into the sky by the female players!


    Yi Wen stood on the side of the field and covered his mouth with a beautiful hand, stunned.


    Burt and Earl were also picked up by slightly older female players.


    Aldridge''s heart broke.


    Where is this a group of female players, a group of female hooligans!


    His sturdy buttocks no longer know how many hands are being kneaded...


    And when he stood back again, Daisy pulled a handful of Mandy, and under the watch of Mandy, Daisy bravely sneaked in and attacked Aldridge, kissed him in the face, and then talked to Aldridge. Tao: "Boss, if you feel bad, just come back for you."


    After that, she will also turn her head to make her small face face Aldridge.


    Aldridge looked at the little girl and shook his head.


    Then Aldridge took a group photo surrounded by a group of female players, and then the female football players showed some skills, especially the technical movements of Daisy and Earl made the audience laugh.


    Although Earl is young, he can do quite a lot. It doesn¡¯t matter if his movements are not smooth. For children, there is such a high demand. Daisy is very good at it, but the fancy is not as good as Erdo, she sees Earl did a bicycle, she also did a bicycle, El Marseille slalom, she also made one, Earl came to a slow decomposition action to dump the cow''s tail, Daisy was crying...

 Chapter 890： New Mad Lion

    If the professionalism of the English men¡¯s football team is already at the top level in the world, then the English women¡¯s football team is actually only a grassroots movement with negligible economic benefits.


    And after Aldridge retired from the position of the manager of Millwall, he became a club owner full-time, and he did have a strong stroke in the brand value of the club.


    The establishment of a women¡¯s football club does not expect direct economic benefits. It is more focused on the promotion of Millwall¡¯s brand culture. First, it can expand the influence of local clubs and gain popularity. Secondly, Millwall is diversified. More than just a men¡¯s football club.


    Fleet Street analyzes Aldridge¡¯s intentions in depth and believes that Aldridge¡¯s ambition is to build the Millwall brand to a higher level. In the future, it will not even be limited to the football field.


    However, the English people are most concerned about the Millwall Men¡¯s Football Club. Others, some are there, and none are. How much more fans will Millwall¡¯s investment plan gain, or will the team¡¯s support be Climbing, the outside world does not care much, and only the Millwall Club¡¯s own family members will analyze the gains and losses from the financial statements.


    When Klinsmann called Aldridge again to complain, Aldridge had brought his family to the beach, and before the summer had passed, he could swim comfortably and swim on his own luxury cruise ship. Have a romantic time with Yiwen.


    Klinsmann complained nothing more than a line of defense.


    Metzelder was sold, Lescott was loaned to Everton by Aldridge, and the central defender position became weaker.


    In response, Aldridge responded to Klinsmann: You are too nervous! Relax, think about it, will Lescott have a chance in the new season?


    No!


    The guard is different from the forward.


    The defender can''t make mistakes, the forward can make mistakes, so there are more forwards, and they can take turns. For example, Benitez is very skilled in this set. He is in Valencia, the back line is basically unchanged, and the offensive system is a big rotation.


    The particularity of the defender''s own duties has led to the possibility of frequent rotation. One more Lescott is just to make the lineup thickness seem reassuring. Unless there is a large-scale injury and injury, Lescott There won''t actually be many opportunities.


    Southgate, Barzali, Neil, Thiago Silva, there are four central defenders in the team, the weakness is weak, but Aldridge¡¯s signing is not over yet, he will fight for more Linsman was pleasantly surprised. He could not succeed, nor was he good at packing the ticket to fill the talk.


    At the moment of the start of the Premier League, Aldridge has become a figure in the headlines of the entertainment circle, and every time he is with his family, making the outside world very envious, go to watch horse racing, fashion catwalks, or participate in some local festivals, every The second time he made headlines, he was always hand in hand with Yiwen, his two sons were playing around, and it was only on the school day of each week that he would seriously put on his suit and go to the Millwall Youth Training Base.


    During this period, Melanie set up a company, and first gave her son Earl a favor. A creative advertising company invited Earl to shoot ads on the theme of displaying football skills. Aldrich himself has no opinions, Earl With gleeful consent, Melanie gave her son control, and then asked for the consent of Audridge, set up a brand company of the same name, hired some designers, and entered the fashion industry.


    Aldrich still didn''t care about this. As for the contract Melanie had, he just read it and signed the name. As for the portrait rights, dividends and the like, he didn''t care at all. Anyway, his money was all his life. It can''t be spent, and the day of death in the future can be left to future generations, as long as it is not profligate, it should also be spent.


    On August 12th, on the eve of Millwall going to the Millennium Stadium for the community shield match, Millwall first team shot the new season family portrait at Lion King Stadium. (At the beginning of this season, the charity shield was changed to a community shield.)


    The old man and the new man have been the rhythm of the past few seasons. The Millwall players wearing the new season''s new jersey on the court, although the expression is similar, contains the seriousness of the fighting spirit, but whether the inner thoughts have changed from the past It is unknown.


    Attachment: Millwall''s new season team lineup


    Goalkeepers: Bute, Paljuka, Kirkland.


    Guards: Schneider, Glen Johnson, Southgate, Barzali, Neil, Thiago Silva, Ashley Cole, Baines.


    Midfielders: De Rossi, Pedretti, Essien, Alonso, Lampard, Nedved, Kaka, Joe Cole, Ramall.


    Forwards: Henry, Ronaldinho, Klose, Larson, Villa, Ronaldo, Drogba, Robben.


    A total of 28 people.


    Fleet Street said this when commenting on Millwall''s lineup in the Premier League 20 of the new season: Millwall led by Klinsmann in the new season, the lineup thickness looks more impressive than Millwall, who won 7 championships last season. Rest assured, however, if you remove players under the age of 20, such as Robben, C Ronaldo, Essien, De Rossi, Baines, Johnson, etc., you may feel that this team once suffered major injuries. If it does, it will become a Millwall youth team. Nedved is still recovering from the injury. The new aid coming to the team needs an adaptation period. Some players are unknown, such as Essien, Silva, and Luo. Ben, what is their ability? Therefore, the overall strength of this 28-man roster should have dropped significantly compared to Millwall last season. Klinsmann faced a very serious challenge.


    The opening of the community shield means that the Premier League will soon have an opener. In this community shield, Aldridge did not show up at the Millennium Stadium. He did not go to watch the game, but he did not want to put pressure on Klinsmann.


    Millwall has a new coach in the new season, and the whole team takes the old courtiers as an example. Naturally, he has to take the attitude of throwing his head and sprinkling his blood. The community shield against the Premier League runner-up Arsenal last season.


    Wenger did not do his best to fight hard with Millwall.


    As provoked by Fleet Street, in the new season, the Premier League''s most promising team to break Millwall''s rule is Arsenal and Manchester United, but on the community shield, there is no need to die, not worth it.


    Klinsmann''s previous warm-up game performance was wonderful. In the local warm-up game 4 games, 3 wins and 1 draw, came to the community shield, which is regarded as the official debut.


    He set out the main lineup established in the new season.


    It is still 433.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Barzali, Southgate, Ashley Cole.


    Midfielders: Pedretti, Lampard, Ronaldinho.


    Forwards: Larson, Klose, Henry.


    Nedved is absent, Ronaldinho takes the front midfielder, striker Trident Klose is centered, and Henry and Larsen pull the edge.


    Just looking at the formation, his Millwall and the previous generation of Aldridge¡¯s Millwall are only changes in the position of individual personnel, and they all make sense. Ronaldinho can play, and Henry and Klose can also, What is the specific team''s operating system, can''t make a conclusion.


    The community shield game was played with a lot of thunder and little rain, and both teams made a lot of mistakes. Eventually, they ended with 0:0 within the regular time, the penalty shootout Millwall won, and Bout saved a penalty, making Mill Wall won the first tasteless championship of the new season.


    At least, Klinsmann ushered in a starter and won a championship, better than nothing.


    The half-warm-up community shield, the new issue of Millwall, is still not clear.


    Four days later, the Premier League started a new season, Millwall visited St James Park Stadium to challenge the Magpies.


    Klinsmann continued the starting lineup of the last game and played a thrilling game with Newcastle United on the road. The final score was 2:3. Millwall completed the reversal with Ronaldinho and Klose''s goal in the second half. Klinsmann''s passionate roar on the sidelines became the focus.


    After the game was questioned by the media, Millwall lost the dominance of the game, to rely on the stars to play to save the game, Klinsmann''s response is: the team is still running in, Millwall will become stronger and stronger.


    His speech could not be said to be unreasonable. Lampard, who was in the middle of the game, appeared to be out of tune with the team. He likes to have a certain conflict with Ronaldinho and Ronaldinho in the midfield. It seemed empty when fighting back. Considering Lampard, Ashley Cole has been on loan for the past one and a half seasons. The running-in of Klinsmann''s mouth is reasonable.


    Aldridge still did not go to the scene to watch the battle, disappointing Fleet Street.


    A week later, Klinsmann ushered in the league debut at the Lion King Stadium. In this game, Audridge appeared with two sons in the stadium box. He came to the stadium as the chairman to watch the ball.


    Millwall''s season ticket sales in the new season are higher than last season. Although he sold off the star-like players like Pirlo, Ronaldinho''s popularity has now reached a very high level, making fans enter the stadium. Ball, the desire to appreciate his performance is more intense, so Millwall''s ticket sales are no problem.


    After Aldridge appeared in the box, the live broadcast camera was aimed at the box for a long time.


    "It seems that Sir Hall is really relaxed now, with a natural smile on his face, and he hugs Puskas. The old Hungarian man also hugged Sir Hall¡¯s son one after another. I feel very warm."


    Aldrich happily talked with Puskas in the box. The old man now stays in the nursing home except for the Lion King Stadium to watch the ball. Although his physical condition is not bad, his mind is more confused than sober , Alzheimer''s disease has no medicine, it can only be delayed by various medical means, so sometimes Puskas suddenly lost his mind when watching the ball, and even became confused when he talked to people. Everyone around was surprised, and he was followed by a special care doctor to deal with this sudden situation.


    Aldridge also looked away, as Puskas said to him when he was awake: "Now I am very happy, and I can still enjoy the wonderful football every week. What''s not satisfying?"


    Today, sitting in the box, Puskas asked Aldridge: "Does it feel strange to sit here?"


    Aldridge replied: "What''s strange?"


    Puskas pointed to the stadium where Klinsmann was standing and said, "Because your position was there before."


    Aldridge laughed, reached out and gently touched Burt''s shoulder, and said, "Now my position is here, which is not surprising at all."


    Puskas smiled and shook his head: "Aldrich, football will make you happy, with your family, especially with these two little guys will also make you happy, maybe now you think the position here is more important, but , You cannot completely abandon football."


    Aldrich seemed to understand, saying, "I haven''t completely abandoned it."


    "However, in football, your position is not here. If Burt and Earl are not here, don''t you think it''s very sad to sit here with me a bad old man?"


    Aldridge passed by with a smile, not paying attention to Puskas'' words.


    In view of Puskas'' state, Aldridge was sitting in the box and would not have a professional discussion with him, so he relaxed his mind and enjoyed the game wholeheartedly.


    While Klinsmann looked serious on the court, Wenger was somewhat distracted.


    The professor was more or less similar to Ferguson''s heart anger.


    why?


    It''s very simple, isn''t the scenery of Aldridge just stepping on them again and again?

 Chapter 891： Time to go!

    At the beginning of the game, Aldridge''s attention was completely placed on the field game. Watching the ball in the box can see the whole scene, which is better than the head coach''s vision. Intuitively, the head coach needs insight The situation of the whole court, the vision is relatively flat, not only to wait and see, but also to make up for the overall situation, the utilization of both sides of the stadium space, and overlooked in the box, at a glance.


    Arsenal encountered in the second round of the league, this is not a good schedule, if Aldridge is still the head coach, this is okay, but after all, it is a new period of crazy lions, the only positive factor is that they have the advantage of home.


    Klinsmann made obvious changes to the game. First, he was conservative. Arsenal is good at counterattacks on the wing. It is correct not to give the opponent counterattack space. Secondly, the rhythm will not be pulled too fast. It is mainly stable. This is Klinsmann''s home debut. In case of a loss, the blow will be too big. It is roughly the same as the idea when Aldridge coached Millwall eight years ago. The loss is too morale, and the most need to establish prestige and When gathering people''s hearts, avoiding losing is the first priority.


    Because of this, the game seemed to be unsettled. When the time on the scoreboard entered the eighth minute, the Lion King Stadium suddenly burst into warm applause without warning. All home fans stood up in the stands and applauded.


    "Oh, Millwall fans stood up and applauded tacitly in the 8th minute of the game, not for the splendid pictures that appeared in the game, but to pay tribute to the current club chairman Sir Hall in this way, he coached Millwall 8 In 2010, he created a brilliant achievement for Millwall, and made every crazy lion fan adore from the heart."


    Applause lasted for a whole minute. Just 8 minutes after the time on the scoreboard, the Lion Roar fans on the South Stand organized a shouting sentence together.


    "His Majesty Aldrich Hall!"


    The live video captured Aldridge sitting in the box with a smile on his face, and when he heard the roar of the fans, he covered his forehead with one hand, which seemed quite embarrassing.


    While his two sons, Burt looked up at his father with admiration, Earl smiled like a little angel eating snacks.


    Klinsmann carefully supervised the battle on the sidelines and could not ignore the applause and shouts of the fans. At this time, his heart was bitter: here, he cannot escape his shadow!


    When it was time to be the master, although Klinsmann and Aldridge had some differences in player transfers, at the competitive level, Aldridge not only asked about the team¡¯s competitive affairs, but also never said a word in front of the media. This is to Klinsmann¡¯s satisfaction, but his pressure source, in addition to the height that Millwall has reached, is that Aldridge has become an invisible **** at the Lion King Stadium. No, he lives in the shadow of Aldridge.


    When will this shadow be eliminated?


    Klinsmann didn''t know and wouldn''t think about this issue, but he couldn''t help thinking.


    Arsenal will treat this game as a rush to fight. In the eyes of the outside world, Millwall has lost one of the most powerful forces, that is, Audridge, who can still win the Premier League after selling half of the main team. A man who can return to the top and establish a dynasty in Europe.


    Klinsmann now?


    It is to kill him as soon as possible, not to give him a chance to get a stable position in Millwall!


    As a result, Arsenal became a little more aggressive 20 minutes after the opening, but instead showed flaws on the defensive end. Originally Arsenal¡¯s defensive system became extremely stable this season. Campbell partnered with seasoned Keon at the peak, midfielder Ella partner Silva, this tough is a mess, they are good at fast counterattack, kicking the ball, the speed can also rush under the premise of space, but if you do not fight back, the position battle is lack of creativity.


    Arsenal, who was unable to calm down, quickly paid the price. After a halftime overtime and failed to play an imaginative cooperation, Schneider broke the ball in the backcourt and found a small long-range front pass. Luo, the latter also came with a long diagonal pass, Klose and Larson running in front of the position shifted, and finally Klose moved to the rear point to shoot for merit.


    Seeing Klose score, Aldridge stood up and raised his fists with a smile on his face, even picked up Burt and turned around in place. After putting Burt down, Earl also joined in the fun, and Aldridge then again He also hugged.


    Instead, Klinsmann did not celebrate the goal too much, but shouted into the court to let the players focus on the defense.


    Wenger was in a bad mood and was angry about the team''s losing the ball.


    What makes him angry is still behind.


    Before the end of the first half, Ronaldinho scored a goal and broke the goal to expand the score to 2:0.


    Facing the hotly contested Arsenal, Millwall led by two goals at home, making almost everyone think that in the post-Aldrich era, Klinsmann can continue to make this dynasty team the biggest champion of all championships. .


    Ronaldinho ran to the side of the court after scoring a goal and made a salute in the direction of Audridge''s box, which caused Audridge to stand up and applaud him.


    If the London Derby team in the first half contested more with Millwall, more experience in the big scene, and the team concept was better, so that Arsenal could not start, then in the second half Arsenal began to violate itself. The technical and tactical team concept is changing the game, and eventually Millwall¡¯s short board is exposed in the local confrontation.


    In the second half, Arsenal did not play a wonderful team attack. Instead, they knocked on Millwall''s city gate in a brutal way with a strong individualism. Bergkamp''s retreat should pass Lampard. After attracting Pedretti, the ball was handed over to Ibrahimovic. Ibrahimovic was still on the scene with Materazzi, but today he exploded Barzali and forced out the opponent in an unreasonable way. , To play tricks on his feet, made Barzali angrily stepped forward, and then simply turned by Ibrahimovic, and was very clever to allow Barzali to grab Southgate to stop the defense assist In the line, Ibrahimovic sent the ball into the goal with a single pole, and then arrogantly gestured while walking back to celebrate.


    That picture made Klinsmann speechless. It was not how clean Balzali was, but the previous one, after being stuck with Ibrahimovic, he was squeezed away by the other party, and it was too embarrassing to put it on the guard of the Premier League giants. Once you get close, you can be wiped off by acceleration, you can be penetrated by two-by-one, but if you are directly squeezed away, the other party will not even swing the center of gravity, which is justified.


    In the final stage of the game, Arsenal scored another goal through a corner kick. It was Ibrahimovic who made the achievement. He didn¡¯t even use the header but tried to stop the ball in the penalty area, but the ball hit a Millwall player. On the player''s body, it seems that Millwall''s player helped him to stop the ball, and then Ibrahimovic volleyed the ball into the net. The bad luck was Balzali.


    Wenger breathed a sigh of relief. Klinsmann shook his head silently on the sidelines. He felt a little suffocated by his opponents equalizing the score in this way.


    Because it is foreseeable, the central defender is a short board. He has talked to the club management, that is, his boss, Aldridge, many times.


    Perhaps it is wrong to sell Metzelder.


    Balzali''s mistake in this game caused him to lose his main position. Klinsmann planned to use Neil to play the main guard.


    When Arsenal equalized the score, the live camera was aimed at the box where Aldridge was located. Aldridge did not express his dissatisfaction with a blank expression, but talked to Puskas and smiled bitterly.


    In Aldrich¡¯s eyes, Balzali¡¯s turnover was not too serious. After all, Balzali was still growing. Not every opponent had a striker like Ibrahimovic. What he valued was that after losing Pirlo, Mill Wall''s offensive system has indeed fallen a lot.


    When encountering a tough team such as Arsenal, make full use of the space of the field, the requirements for organization and scheduling will be higher, not only to use the width of the field, but also to tear the opponent''s three-line defense in the expansion and contraction of the entire midfield. Ronaldo is on the wing of the frontcourt, Pirlo is in the midfield and backcourt, and Nedved is able to tear the opponent''s front, back, left, and right directions. Now, at best, the wings use the width of the field. Lampard''s organizational ability is lacking in creativity. The pass success rate is not low, but they are all formulaic passes and are too predictable.


    Therefore, when Arsenal carried out the defensive counterattack tactics in the second half, Millwall''s positional battle could not be very effective.


    A two-ball lead was tied to a more or less game that caused the fans to be somewhat lost, but they did not lose the advantage of the scene. However, the backcourt defense system, from the backline to the weakening of the back line, is still clear at a glance.


    Three days later, in the third round of the Premier League, Millwall played against the London Derby again and challenged the farmer Fulham away. Klinsmann just adjusted a starter, which was to replace Barzali with Neal, and Millwall won the game. By the way, a 4:0 victory swept away the haze that was tied by Arsenal.


    Tigana¡¯s reforms at Fulham seem nondescript, and indeed there is a shadow of technology flow, but Kaner, who is not struggling with hard power, meets Millwall, a behemoth. Fulham is far worse than technology, tougher than non-hard The director is much inferior to the team. In order to maintain dignity at home, he didn''t want to attack, and was directly crushed by Millwall.


    Klinsmann led the team to play four official games in August. Not counting the community shield, 2 wins and 1 draw in the league was satisfactory. After defeating Fulham, he immediately led the team to the European Super Cup. Feyenoord from the Netherlands.


    During this period, Aldridge felt at ease to be a good man at home. At the same time, he also met with the new team of England national team coaches to determine the job responsibilities in early September, so that everyone can be prepared.


    On August 28, the qualifying round of the Champions League in the new season ended.


    Two days later, Millwall flew to Monaco to meet with Feyenoord at the top of the European Cup.


    On the same day, Aldridge was tidying up his clothes in his bedroom in the morning. He was humming in a tie and the bedroom door was gently pushed away from the room. I saw Earl holding a mad lion doll and rubbing his eyes. Walked in and looked up to see Aldridge dressed neatly and asked in a low voice curiously, "Dad, where are you going?"


    Aldridge squatted down and kissed his face, both sons were sensible, but no, Ewen was still asleep in the bedroom, and Earl spoke very quietly.


    "Well, go abroad for a turn."


    "I will go too, will you?"


    "Okay, then go back and change your clothes. By the way, ask your brother if he wants to go together."


    Earl dragged the blue lion doll back lightly and noticed that he was quickening his pace after going out.


    Aldrich took out a clean slim suit jacket from the closet, put it on and looked in the mirror, and finally pulled the tie off, laughing to himself: "Nothing happened, um, it''s time to shoot. "

 Chapter 892： Father and Son

    There is always no shortage of soap opera-like transfer stories in UEFA.


    But the general transfer soap opera is a 2-3 month span. Before the transfer gate is opened, the curtain is opened, and the day when the transfer gate is closed is all declared to be over.


    However, a transfer soap opera in Italy lasted for a year!


    England¡¯s Leeds United is falling into the abyss. This is not a special case. In Italy, there are also teams that have been recruited for years. The club has a bankruptcy crisis during the economic crisis. The Seven Sisters no longer look good. The small World Cup glory passed away. It can be said that the traditional top three have dismembered their competitors one by one, but the hidden fact behind it is: economic problems.


    Purple Lily Florence, Parma, Lazio, Rome, are all in different levels of financial crisis. The era of big money is over, and the forced sale of stars to pay off debts is intensifying. One in and one out will not smooth out the fiscal deficit and spread the spread. Large, hard to make ends meet, the splendid scenery is more like Huang Liang''s dream.


    Blue Eagle Lazio.


    Since Florentino came to power, he has had a strong interest in Nesta, and Lazio has already torn off Nesta¡¯s non-sales label, but Cranioti has to compare the baht and is determined to be the best in the world. The central defender sold one of the highest prices in history, exhausting Florentino''s patience, and finally Real Madrid withdrew the purchase of Nesta.


    This is the soap opera where Lazio and Real Madrid transferred to Nesta last summer to the end of last year.


    The beginning of the second half was at the beginning of this year.


    In January, Juventus offered Nesta for an offer of 30 million euros plus Yuliano.


    In April, Inter Milan stepped in to compete with Juventus.


    In May, Inter and Juventus not only competed in the league title, but also competed in Nesta.


    In June, Cranio Tila increased the transfer fee.


    In July, Juventus and Inter Milan reached an agreement not to raise prices with each other!


    In August, Inter Milan withdrew from the competition because they signed Cannavaro again. Moratti believes that the guard line formed by Materazzi and Cannavaro is enough to sit back and relax.


    During the same period, AC Milan turned its goal to Nesta due to the failure to acquire Cannavaro, replacing Inter Milan and Juventus to continue to compete.


    Galliani went to Rome to start a meeting with Cranioti. Galliani, who didn''t have much cash in his hand, talked to Cranioti who was asking for high prices.


    AC Milan announced that it would no longer introduce a central defender, and vaguely announced that they would give up Nesta.


    During the same period, Juventus striker Trezeguet was in a critical condition, and Juventus shifted the focus of the transfer market to the striker.


    Cranioti cruelly announced that Nesta''s transfer market was closed!


    But in mid-to-late August, Lazio¡¯s two creditors came home to collect debts. Manchester United and Valencia, the former was the last transfer of Stam, the latter was more tragic, and Mendieta¡¯s transfer to Lazio was 48 million euros. Sky-high price! There is still no settlement.


    FIFA gave Lazio an ultimatum.


    On August 28, AC Milan successfully entered the Champions League.


    On August 30th, Juventus striker signing had substantial results, signing forward Divaio from Palma.


    On this day, the day before the transfer market door closed.


    Everything seemed to be settled, Galliani set off from Milan and flew to Rome, to play a good show of white wolves!


    Lazio¡¯s financial crisis has almost forced them into a dilemma. A star like Nesta, who can bring generous transfer fees and save a lot of wages, is no longer able to keep them. What about next? Die together?


    Galliani sat on the plane with a smile, he was quite sure to bring Nesta from Rome to Milan, and his transfer budget was not much, but as long as Nesta was taken, it was a help Lazio saves his salary, and at the same time, as long as they give them an installment agreement, Nesta may also be able to reduce his salary to come to Milan. With Nesta¡¯s feelings for Lazio, he will understand that his departure is for the club. Make a certain contribution.


    "Oh, the father and son know the current affairs."


    Galliani remembered that before he got on the plane, his friend in Rome told him that Cranio and his son drove to the airport outside Rome and waited!


    Galliani thought that perhaps the news that he was going to Rome had leaked. In Italy, the circle is full of fishes and dragons, like Mogi the conspirator. Putting eyeliners around, what''s surprising?


    Everyone stared at each other, and when there was a little wind and grass, they knew immediately.


    The father and son saw the life-saving straw the day before the transfer market closed, could they catch it desperately?


    Thinking of the last time he went to Rome to talk to Cranioti, Galliani''s smile became slightly cold.


    Last time, Cranioti took the initiative.


    This time, you can''t help it!


    When Galliani walked out of the airport with AC Milan''s negotiating team, he stood at the same spot in the airport lobby, and he didn''t see any familiar faces.


    What about Cranioti and his son?


    Don¡¯t you wait at the airport?


    Somehow, he had a bad hunch in his heart and took out his mobile phone to call his friend.


    Hearing news that shocked him.


    ...


    Just half an hour before Galliani got off the plane.


    At this airport, Cranioti and his son stood in the hall at the exit of the airport.


    I saw a group of six people coming from the exit, four men walking behind, Millwall CEO Adam in the middle, and three people beside him as his team assistant.


    And in front of the four were a father and son, Audridge without a tie in his suit and leather jacket, holding his younger son Earl.


    The six-member team quickly attracted the paparazzi ambushing around. The paparazzi originally followed Cranioti and his son. Unexpectedly, they encountered sensational news!


    When Cranioti took the initiative to greet Aldridge with a slight humility, the flash was bright and the paparazzi immediately snapped the scene.


    "Sir Hall, welcome to Rome, this must be your child, right? The little boy is so cute."


    After Cranioti shook hands with Aldridge, he bowed down with an intimate smile and shook hands with Earl. Earl called out to each other politely, and then he heard an outdated voice.


    Goo...


    Earl turned around and hid behind Aldridge, embarrassed.


    It was his belly that rang.


    He who is not eating breakfast is really hungry now.


    Aldrich bent down to hug him and smiled at Cranioti: "I''m sorry, the kitchen on my private plane didn''t fill up the ingredients. On the way to the flight, I left the child with an empty stomach. It''s still too early. , Let''s go to the restaurant in the city for a meal first?"


    Mo said that Cranio twitched his lips, and even his son was cheering.


    What a joke!


    Are you going to eat now?


    That little bunny, let him starve to death!


    "It''s better to go to the club first. On the way, I will arrange the best restaurant in the city to deliver the meal to the club. I''m sure I won''t let the little boy hungry."


    Cranioti said with a smile.


    Aldrich turned his head and looked at Earl. Earl said, "I''m not hungry."


    "Hahaha, then everything is up to you."


    As soon as Aldridge''s voice fell, Cranioti and his son finally fell.


    A group of people walked out of the airport, Cranioti''s son opened the rear door for Audridge himself, and then several cars quickly left the airport and went straight to the Lazio club.


    At the same time, explosive headlines like the plague began to spread in Italy and attracted the attention of the entire European football.


    "Millwall and Lazio have a high-level meeting! 99.9% discuss the transfer of Nesta!"


    The outside world does not know that Aldridge is coming to Rome, and there are some sales and purchases that Cranio and his son will pick up from the airport. It must be a player transfer, but it is not sure which player is being negotiated.


    Lazio''s players can be seen by Millwall, or the comparison of Millwall''s lineup with Lazio''s lineup, the answer is almost surfaced.


    Either Stam or Nesta, anyway, the defender, when it comes to midfielder or forward, Lazio is not worthy of Aldridge coming to discuss the transfer in person.


    And Stam once broke with Aldridge. It was originally possible to release the previous suspects. A story of the master and apprentice breaking the mirror was staged, but Stam¡¯s autobiography completely killed this possibility, not only let him be cleaned by Manchester United. It also made him impossible to return to the Lion King Stadium.


    Then 99.9% is Nesta, which comes from this.


    At the same time Fleet Street also broke the news for the first time, Millwall will complete a sensational transfer, even for the English football, it is a landmark transfer!


    Transfer the protagonist, ready to come out.


    The best central defender in the world.


    Nesta!


    Since Galliani had arrived in Rome, he was not going to leave in disgrace, but he sent the negotiating team back to Milan, and he, alone, went to the Lazio club as planned.


    Are you going to grab someone from the young master?


    Of course not. What is he going to grab?


    It''s just that since he''s all here, when he hears Aldridge wins, should he leave without saying hello?


    Anyway, everyone is a good friend.


    Galliani, who took the car to the Lazio Club, completely gave up introducing Nesta. The fight is only a fact. Showing his face in front of the young commander is a change of direction. It means: AC Milan did intend to take Nesta. But since you are here, I will not raise the price, please!


    Touching his bald head, Galliani whispered in the car: "It''s better to come early than to come by chance!"


    If Millwall bought Nesta a month ago, it would be impossible to take away Nesta unless a world record price was really set. At that time, Juventus and Inter Milan were in trouble, even though Moratti Selling favors to Aldridge to withdraw, but Juventus will definitely die with Millwall in the end!


    At this point in time, the Juventus striker was in a hurry to buy the striker, Inter Milan bought Cannavaro, and both Manchester United and Valencia also ran to the door to urge debt!


    All kinds of chances happened by chance. Well, AC Milan wanted to pick peaches, but now they are cut off by Millwall!


    Cranioti learned of Galiani''s arrival in the office, without a word, he invited the other party immediately!


    He is still dreaming of having AC Milan raise prices.


    Galliani walked into Craniotti''s office and froze for a while. The scene before him made him cry and laugh.


    Aldridge was sitting on a single sofa against the wall, with Erlang''s legs tilted, with a saucer in his left hand and a cup in his right hand. It was not known whether it was tea or coffee.


    The desk in the office has no documents, and there is a table full of delicious delicacies. A cute-looking child sits on the elevated boss chair and tastes the food with a spoon.


    And Cranioti and his son are standing...

 Chapter 893： Mr.president

    "Oh, Adriano, my old friend, why did you come to Rome too? Is it also for Nesta?"


    While Galliani was fascinated by this weird picture in the office, Craniotti rushed forward with an open arm and embraced Galliani.


    Cranioti''s son twitched his lips and regretted accompanying his father to greet Hall and his son today.


    Damn it, suffocating!


    The same father and son, when they arrived in Lazio, the younger son of the Hall family was enjoying the delicious cuisine of the top restaurant in Rome innocently. However, his father still had to deal with the bald man and think about it, almost a month ago, Talking about the domineering power that went away at the time of the collapse, this time I put on a hug and deliberately direct the topic to Nesta, which is too **** explicit.


    The elder brother was neither going away nor staying. He had to smile and be embarrassed.


    "Adriano, I don''t want to hide it. I have almost talked with Sir Hall. If AC Milan wants to take Nesta, it must give a sincere offer."


    Cranioti''s tone was extremely enthusiastic, but his eyes were fixed on Galliani, and he was quite swallowed.


    Old bastard, just make a price!


    Cranioti did not pick out that Millwall was asking for 30 million pounds, but as long as Galliani said a decent price, he would be able to bargain with Aldridge.


    For example, he has to respect Nesta¡¯s personal opinions, stay in Italy and the like, it doesn¡¯t matter if he loses a little transfer fee.


    Then Millwall wants to get Nesta, and he has to increase the price.


    He has a wonderful idea, but Galliani is not a fool. No one can compete. AC Milan can take away Nesta. If someone can pull out the real money, AC Milan has no other ability than disgusting people. , Let him dig out 10 million euros in cash now, he can''t take it out!


    He wouldn''t give Craniot a price-lifting doll.


    "Cough, misunderstood, misunderstood, I heard that Sir Hall came to the city of Rome, I came here deliberately, but I have an old friend with Sir Hall, he came to Italy with his family, I Of course you have to treat them warmly. Haha, hahaha, Aldridge. I haven¡¯t seen you in a long time. This summer, you are the most powerful person in the football world!"


    Galliani let Craniotti go, and walked towards the smiling Aldridge in the expression of consternation.


    Aldridge put down the teacup, stood up and hugged Galliani¡¯s head directly, and kissed him on the reflective head of the other party. He laughed and said, ¡°Adriano, your enthusiasm has moved me too much, but I There is not much time. After talking about the business today, I will go to Rome for two days. Then I will head to the England national team to preside over the work. The European Cup qualifiers are about to start. Next time, next time I will go to Milan City as a guest , It will definitely bother you at that time."


    "Whereever you come, I will meet you in person, haha, then you will talk about the business first, I will say goodbye, oh, wait, I want to talk to this little Hall."


    Galliani walked to the desk, and Earl smiled innocently at him, and then handed him a clean plate, as if he wanted to invite Galliani to dinner together.


    Galliani, like a kind old man, ate two delicious foods with Earl, then kissed on Earl''s forehead, then smiled and waved goodbye to Aldridge.


    Before he left the house, he remembered, and then looked back at his formal bad-father Cranioti and his good-bye.


    Cranioti was furious and scolded countless times: Add baldness to you!


    After calming down, Cranioti turned around to see Audridge and found that the young commander was holding a dinner plate in his hand. The youngest son was sitting in his arms. The little fellow was really filial. I have tasted the food that I feel delicious and picked it on the new plate, and specially brought it to Aldridge.


    Cranioti rubbed his hands, not knowing how to speak.


    30 million pounds is really not low.


    It''s just that his price for Nesta''s psychological expectations is still much lower, a lot!


    Lack of money, strange goods can live in, always want to sell an unprecedented sky-high price.


    Especially when thinking of England, Ferdinand can sell 30 million pounds, Nesta must not multiply at least two!


    But by this time, Cranioti had to admit that Mo said 30 million pounds, even if it was 25 million pounds, he was willing to accept it, and the cash was harvested, plus Nesta''s salary expenses in the new season can be eliminated.


    The young master''s offer is still very sincere.


    But he just felt a little lost in his heart.


    Aldridge put down the fork, took the handkerchief in Earl''s hand and wiped his mouth, raised his head and looked at Cranio and his son, and sighed: "So, my last offer, 32 million pounds, Lazio agrees, Nesta is The most valuable central defender in the world transfer."


    Cranioti''s eyes changed, struggling for a while, and finally nodded his teeth!


    Now that the club has agreed, the buyer can negotiate transfers with the players. The players are willing to sit down and talk about contract treatment.


    The transfer market in Italy is very deep, especially the internal battles are difficult to count. Why did Aldridge only shoot now?


    Not to save money, why is it difficult for him to offer 40 million pounds for a month? He is not a money servant, and the shock effect of the transfer, to appease the Millwall hearts, stimulate the fans, and the ball market, is far better than before the transfer market is closed.


    But he didn''t shoot, because he didn''t want to go to the muddy water of Italy!


    It is a joke in this Italian transfer market where Mogi and GEA are both in the dark.


    It was only after the downfall of Mogi and in the post-GEA era that the Italian transfer market began to develop on a normal track. Those with the highest prices would get this. The simplest reason is not feasible in Italy today.


    Now the shot is the best time, the spoiler has no time, and Lazio has reached the point of life and death, and can tear the face with the bull ghost and snake **** inside Italy! At the same time, there is also Nesta''s personal opinion. He has witnessed the turmoil of the team. Manchester United and Valencia come to the door to draw debts. FIFA issued an ultimatum, which will make him feel good about leaving. The agent wants to be in the middle. There is no chance to make trouble again.


    Aldrich came to Nesta in another conference room. The best central defender in Europe and even the world was wearing a Lazio jersey. He was called to the office building from the training ground.


    Nesta sat opposite Aldridge, his face calm, his eyes struggling to conceal his sorrow, which seemed to be a kind of numbness and heartache.


    "Alessandro, you know who I am, and I know who you are, come to the point, first let me tell you the reality, Lazio needs money, needs a lot of money to survive the financial crisis, the team has to sell the team Stars, this was no secret when Real Madrid pursued you a year ago. Today Millwall bid 32 million pounds, and Cranioti has agreed to this offer. To be honest, I did a Smart trading, as long as I bid 20 million pounds, or even 18 million pounds, Cranioti will finally agree to my offer. Today, the manager of AC Milan, Galliani also came to Lazio, he also wants to take you away And, he will only give Lazio an installment agreement, because AC Milan has no cash to run your transfer again, and Millwall, but took out the real money to try to take you away, this is my sincerity It is also the sincerity of Millwall.


    As for why am I doing such an unwise business? Very simple, I hope you can feel my sincerity, do not want you to have a kind of Millwall in the bottom of your heart using despicable means to get your thoughts.


    You are the best central defender on the planet. In the past, it is now. In the next ten years, there will be no injuries, and you will still be.


    Since you are the best, then Millwall will take you away, you have to use the transfer value of the guard player world record to take you away. "


    Nesta''s eyes have fluctuated, and he has a clearer understanding of the young commander who can speak fluent Italian. This openness is a rare respect.


    Aldridge continued: "Let''s talk about the future. What can Millwall give you? Football is a team sport, and even the strongest players need the help, support, and joint efforts of teammates to fight together. This can be achieved.


    Ronaldinho, Henry, Nedved, even excluding Larson, who is over 30, Millwall now has three world-class stars, as well as Klose, Lampard, Ash Li Cole is a player who is considered by the outside world to have the potential of world-class stars, and other first-class stars of great strength such as Southgate, Schneider, and Bout.


    If you are added, Millwall will have 4 world-class stars in a short period of time. After two years, I believe there will be at least two more world-class stars.


    And our past eight years with countless performances have proved that this team is a real team.


    With you, Millwall will be stronger, and you, will be one of the strongest teams in UEFA, the world''s football. The goal we strive for will not change every season, all championship champions! "


    Aldridge''s tone has always been steady, without fluctuations, and not irritating Nesta, and Nesta listens to his ears, and the other party''s words seem to be taken for granted.


    Regardless of whether anyone doubts, Aldridge''s tone will not fluctuate, this is an already established strongman''s confidence.


    Nesta can''t produce any fighting spirit at this moment, to imagine becoming a member of the mad lion to fight for the world, because he has a very deep affection for Lazio, but calm down and think about it carefully, Aldridge''s words are convincing.


    Lazio needs money. He will go to a new team that is much stronger than Lazio. His career trajectory is on the rise, and everyone should be happy.


    Aldridge finally said: "Alessandro, I have no doubt about your feelings for Lazio. If you can, you would rather die here, even if this team cannot climb to the peak of Europe to enjoy the magnificent beautiful scenery, But now, you have arrived at the only choice you have to leave. If you stay in Italy, then unless Lazio is relegated, you will be at least twice hostile to Lazio every season, but if you move to Millwall, I Think, since then, the probability that you and Lazio will become enemies is almost zero."


    Nesta gave a sad smile, stood up, stretched out his hand to Aldridge, lowered his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Hello, Sir Hall, Sir."

 Chapter 894： If I were a young emperor

    From the moment Aldridge came to Rome, the entire UEFA football team was rippled, and in Rome, it was not just journalists from the football circles but also Lazio fans.


    More than 100 Lanying fans gathered outside the Falhero training base. They were in a state of confusion and they were heartbroken.


    I thought of the team''s arrears of the wages of the players and the players were brought to court, the team was almost unable to register in the new season Serie A, the Manchester United and Valencia home debt collection, the FIFA ultimatum...


    Lazio needs a savior!


    But this savior is by no means Sir Hall who came here with his pound.


    Their savior is the child they grew up in, Nesta the Roman king!


    The team needs cash to solve the urgent need, and the current situation no longer needs to guess or prove.


    Since the rise of Millwall, the strong image established by the mad lion seems to have nothing they can¡¯t do. They are a team that walked out of miracles and are the top pioneers of the era. When they shoot, they must be thunderous and mad The lion sweeps all dominance in the green field!


    When Nesta drove the Mercedes-Benz out of the training base, these fans gathered around and called for Nesta to stay, quizzically asking him what he wanted from Millwall seniors to Lazio.


    There was even a fan who was kneeling directly in front of his car, begging him to stay with grief!


    Nesta is a hero in the hearts of fans. There is no doubt that he dares to shoot the table with Cranioti. In order to reduce the ticket price of the club, more fans who love Lazio can enter the stadium and cheer for the team at close range.


    At this moment, Nesta faced countless fans who questioned him, and told lies in good faith.


    "I don''t know anything. I haven''t signed it yet."


    In fact, the transfer agreement has been reached. Millwall, Lazio, Nesta, and the three parties have signed the agreement. Now they are just going through the process and declaring the Football Association to determine the transfer.


    Fans in front of his car saw the dodge in his eyes, words flashed, and gradually, the surrounding was silent.


    Nesta continued: "If I leave to be good for Lazio, I hope you will understand..."


    He couldn''t talk anymore, because his eyes were muddy and he had already shed tears.


    ...


    In the afternoon, Nesta, accompanied by his agent and Millwall executives, walked into Rome Airport and got into a luxury airliner at the Millwall Club, heading directly to London.


    At four in the afternoon, Lazio officially announced Nesta''s move to the Premier League Millwall club.


    Fleet Street spread the breaking news immediately!


    "England''s signing king is born! Superstar Nesta is at the Lion King Stadium!"


    "The mad lion dynasty won''t fall, Nesta and Southgate prop up the defense team!"


    "Sir Hall gave Klinsmann a birthday present one month late!"


    "The 26-year-old Nesta is coming, and the lion has been guarding for ten years without worry!"


    Over 5,000 Millwall fans went to the airport to welcome Nesta.


    Countless crazy lion fans have a tearful urge at this moment.


    How many years?


    No, it should not be many years.


    This is the first time in history!


    Millwall has built a team for more than 100 years and brought a superstar in the transfer market for the first time!


    This is definitely not the same as Nedved and Ronaldinho when they came. The stars in the team grew into stars and superstars in the team step by step, not when they came.


    Even Henry, when he came, was still far away from the superstar.


    So you can understand the excitement of crazy lion fans, just like celebrating the New Year, happily going to the airport to meet Nesta!


    Millwall, who is far away in Monaco, is in the European Super Cup with Feyenoord.


    Klinsmann¡¯s attention was obviously not in the game, and there was a fire burning in his heart.


    The expression is always weird, because he wants to laugh, can''t help it.


    Nesta!


    No worries after defense!


    Without Metzelder, it would be gone.


    In fact, when Aldridge sold Metzelder, he was not absolutely sure he could bring Nesta to the Lion King Stadium.


    It¡¯s just that Real Madrid offered a price he thought met Metselde¡¯s worth, and he did not lose money in this sale. Even without Metzelder, he always thought that the experienced Neil was better than Metzelder, Barr. Zalli is more reliable, with Neil, Metzelder, and Balzali, all of which can be sold.


    Now with Nesta, I dare not really say that after ten years of worry-free, there will be no obvious crisis at least in the short term, and Nesta, 26, can give Silva, Barzali these young people better Grow space to prevent them from collapsing under great pressure at a young age. After all, for a giant like Millwall, any subtle mistakes will be magnified by the outside world.


    Millwall won Feyenoord 3-1 in Monaco and won the European Super Cup.


    Klinsmann coached the Lions in the new season. He won two chicken-ribbed championships in less than a month and won better than nothing. It helped stabilize the military and improve his prestige.


    Returning to London overnight, the following day, Klinsmann immediately held a press conference and appeared with Nesta, announcing Nesta''s joining with great interest.


    Nesta officially unveiled at the Lion King Stadium!


    Klinsmann''s mouth was happy and crooked, even if he missed the draw of the Champions League in the new season, he did not regret it.


    Happy and worried.


    Millwall introduced the superstar Nesta before the transfer gate was closed to make up for the defense, but in the new season UEFA Champions League group draw, he was divided into the death group.


    Millwall.


    Barcelona.


    AC Milan.


    Lance.


    After knowing the result of the draw, Klinsmann couldn''t laugh!


    "The Times" commented: "There are too many tasks left for Klinsmann in the new season, rebuilding the Millwall midfield and backcourt system, impacting the defending league, fitting the new lineup, and now, the UEFA Champions League after half a month. Is the most difficult challenge!"


    Inside are Manchester United Arsenal watching the throne, outside there is a strong enemy Milan Barca eyeing, Klinsmann''s life is really not good.


    ...


    Aldrich did not leave the city of Rome after finalizing the transfer of Nesta. His boss spent a lot of money and shot a lot. He was more arrogant than when he was the head coach in the past few years. It made the Fleet Street look impressive and made many coaches in the world very Envy Klinsmann.


    The young commander left the top lineup for you, the only defender line is a bit flawed, and also smashed 32 million pounds to bring you Nesta!


    In particular, the young handsome did not even grab the limelight with you!


    Where can I find such a boss?


    Aldridge took Earle to play in the city of Rome. Unfortunately, Burt would rather stay at home with football as a companion than come with him.


    After a round of the ancient Roman arena and a tour of the Vatican, on September 2nd, Aldridge took Ehr¡¯s little hand out of the Pantheon. It was at dusk, and the afterglow of the sunset made the surrounding landscape beautiful. He Sit down under the stairs, Earl took the camera to shoot nearby.


    Watching his children lively and happy, Aldridge was always in a state of joy.


    As for Millwall''s Champions League draw, he hasn''t taken the news seriously.


    What about the group of deaths?


    Barcelona and AC Milan should be trembling, and Lance should be the sorrow.


    Earl ran back in front of him, holding the camera and suddenly asked, "Dad, have you been here before?"


    Aldrich nodded and said, "Yes, I''ve been here, I have led a team to play here, I''ve traveled here alone, and have been robbed by bad guys here, haha."


    Earl''s crystal clear eyes were full of worship.


    Perhaps in his view, traveling alone is a very remarkable thing, because no matter where he goes, the adults will follow him like a shadow.


    Aldrich held his chin, remembering the last time he came to Rome alone, that was the footprint of striving for entrepreneurship, and his efforts to fulfill his promise.


    At the press conference that broke into Millwall that year, Haoyan would open a new era of Aldridge, an Aldridge with the courage of "If I were the Qing Emperor, he would open up with Peach Blossom".


    Perhaps, it has really disappeared.


    Aldridge laughed at himself and shook his head.


    If it really disappeared, he should accept Abu¡¯s 1 billion pounds.


    Why don''t you want to sell the team to Abu?


    Speaking of which, Abu is a rare good boss in the football circle. Except for the occasional desire to control the club, the layman is in charge of the insider, isn''t it just to add chaos?


    But after all, Abu couldn''t be better than a boss who saw too many money-eyed ambitions.


    Perhaps it is hope that Millwall will be more brilliant before insisting on being in his own hands, otherwise, why buy Nesta?


    "Dad, let''s go home, I think Burt, and Aunt Yiwen."


    Earl''s words pulled Aldridge back into reality from his contemplation. Aldridge stood up and smiled at Earl: "Race?"


    Earl grinned and ran away in the direction he used to be. Aldrich cried behind him: "It''s cunning! Slow down, I can''t catch up with you! You are such a superman!"


    ...


    When Aldridge returned to England, Millwall had just finished his first game in September, the League Cup.


    Millwall swept Bristol wandering 7:0.


    But this game did not give Klinsmann even a compliment!


    The nature of Fleet Street is revealed, and he is not ridiculed!


    Once considered Adriatic''s confidant, David Miller of Millwall''s royal ball critic also turned the muzzle and criticized Klinsmann.


    "European Overlord, Millwall, who has won the Premier League championship for four consecutive years, sent the strongest lineup to the third-level underdogs on the main scene! 7:0, what a great score, what an ecstatic result? Especially Did Jurgen Klinsmann dance at home at this moment to celebrate this massacre? Was he proud of his success in extending Millwall''s glory? It was amazing! Millwall took the stage as soon as he stepped onto the League Cup stage In order to achieve the ambition to defend the League Cup! Kaka, C Ronaldo, Joe Cole, Villa and other young players off the court must stand up and applaud the outstanding performance of the team¡¯s main players, for Klinsmann Ronaldinho, Henry, Larson, who struggled for 90 minutes without a one-minute break, should smile even after the game, but why? Why didn¡¯t they laugh after the game? Are they different from Klinsmann? Do they not value their opponents?..."


    David Miller used irony to warn Klinsmann that a 7-0 victory could not explain any problem at all, and Klinsmann not only let Nesta make his debut, other main players are on the game It¡¯s more like an adult madly shooting at an unarmed child with an AK47 in arms. Besides Yaowuyangwei, what is the point?


    There are a lot of disadvantages. It is one of the main players that they can''t get a rest. The second is that young players have no room for exercise.


    The first point alone will have a key impact on the trend of a season!


    And the second point is likely to lay hidden dangers for the team''s long-term stability.


    After all, young players want to strive for the highest position. Now the lack of ability is a fact, but they are not given the opportunity to exercise. How can they improve their ability? Does it depend on training?


    This is equivalent to depriving them of the opportunity to get ahead.


    When Aldridge returned to England, he looked at the newspaper''s overwhelming mocking of Klinsmann. He just shook his head, thinking Klinsmann was too nervous.


    Everything is difficult at the beginning. If you want to start well, you must win all the games as much as possible.


    Perhaps Klinsmann thinks that after the League Cup is over, the player will report to the national team, so he is not at ease.


    When he adapts to this position, he may be able to cope better.

 Chapter 895： Imperative change

    After winning the World Cup, the announcement of England''s new big list caused unlimited reverie on Fleet Street.


    Old goalkeeper Seaman unexpectedly retired gloriously, and who will keep England''s next goalkeeper?


    The three goalkeepers in Aldridge¡¯s new national team roster are James, Robinson, and Green. Among them, 22-year-old Green is regarded as the next generation of competitors. In this generation, England can only get the best goalkeepers. Only James and Green Robinson, who can win the position, the outside world does not dare to make a conclusion.


    In addition to the goalkeeper, the other third-line players, Fleet Street is really confused.


    The main force to win the World Cup, except for Phil Neville, Bart, McManaman, no one else was called!


    Owen, Scholes, Beckham, Lampard, Ashley Cole, Southgate, Ferdinand, 7 main candidates have been unsuccessful.


    Obviously, the young coach is to give them more time to rest, not even the national team, to stay at home honestly.


    Because of the FIFA match day in September, the England team was in the European Cup qualifiers bye bye to play a friendly match.


    Gary Neville and Gerrard are back on the national team roster. It is certainly regrettable for them to miss the World Cup, but they can only lament the bad luck and they were injured before the World Cup.


    The upper limit of the contest list is 23 people. At other times, the number of national teams will generally be maintained at around 25-30 people. On the one hand, the selection of materials, on the other hand, let the team form a healthy competition.


    This time the national team friendly match is played in the homeland, the selected home field is Anfield.


    The day before the players came to report, Aldridge merged with the national team coaching staff''s training base in Liverpool. He even came earlier and sent Burt and Earl to their grandmother''s house yesterday.


    The coaching team of the national team has a new look. Apart from the familiar faces of Audridge and Jenson, the other coaches are not well known.


    On a sunny afternoon, Stella Maggioni presented a summary of his opponent''s intelligence collection for the European Cup qualifiers to Aldridge.


    Turning through the documents in his hand, Aldridge smiled and didn''t say anything to Stramagioni.


    In fact, England has almost no suspense in the European Cup.


    See what opponents are in the same group?


    Turkey is the strongest, next, Slovakia, Macedonia, Liechtenstein.


    Throughout the qualifiers, as long as the two rounds of the game with Turkey have been played, the top of the group will be guaranteed.


    In such a group, is it necessary to deliberately study opponents?


    Even if it is really researched, it is enough to focus on Turkey, and to study all the opponents again, it is a big deal.


    This is just a way for Aldrich to test Stella Maggioni''s work attitude.


    Not to mention, this little Italian guy is very serious. Even Liechtenstein, which is ranked 150th in the world, has collected a lot of intelligence information. The player information page is densely written and there are many players.


    Compared with the second-rate football national team, the main lineup will not change much in a few years. The third-class Liechtenstein may not be a national team. The player data is the most difficult to do. Why? Because you don¡¯t know where the opponent will find a group of amateur players to play on behalf of the national team. Perhaps after playing the national team game, those players take off their jerseys and work as couriers or sit in the office as white collar workers. They are interested in playing football. Now that the national team is about to play, we will make a guest appearance temporarily. There is no serious professional league in China. The club is between semi-professional and amateur.


    It can be seen that Stella Maggioni''s opponent investigation report is very detailed.


    Except for Stella Maggioni, most of the new recruits in the coaching staff were selected from within England. For them, they were career advancements. They used to work for U21, youth teams and other low-level national echelons.


    Aldridge greeted each other after meeting him for the first time, and then handed over other tasks to Jenson to arrange. He wore sportswear and jogged around the court in the training base, and then with the small ball in the training base. Tong playing ball together, it doesn''t seem to work at all.


    The new coach was shocked and felt that the young coach was a free character. They began to prepare their tasks under the arrangement of Jensen. Each of them performed their own duties. Training was 80% of the work. When these people were arranged, Jensen hesitated After a while, he called Stella Maggioni to walk to Audridge with him.


    Aldridge had been sweating, sitting on the turf of the training ground, waving goodbye to the little caddie, and after the other walked away, Jenson and Stella Maggioni came to him.


    Jenson sat cross-legged in front of Aldridge, and Stella Maggioni saw that both were sitting on the turf, so she sat down.


    Jenson looked at the awkward Aldridge and asked, "When is the business going?"


    "Huh? What''s the matter?"


    "Don¡¯t pretend that England¡¯s skills and tactics have changed. As you know, as a World Cup champion, England still wants to continue to play in the European Cup with 4321. I am afraid it is difficult to do anything. Don¡¯t underestimate the powers of Europe and learn from experience, Demystified the tactical mystery of England, England still want to shine in the European Cup?"


    Aldridge looked up at the blue sky and smiled bitterly: "Yeah, this is the right thing."


    Stramagioni rejuvenated and listened to the following carefully with her head upright.


    The 4321 formation of the England team that won the World Cup has been listed as a classic tactic by FIFA. The overall technique and tactics are clearly organized. In the new issue of FIFA lecturers, it is listed as a key topic.


    It is no exaggeration to say that from the technical and tactical level, the England team is being dismembered by the outside world!


    And because of its lack of extraordinary creativity, the limitation of this tactic is that there is not much room for change after the unexpected impact of the opponent.


    England¡¯s own creativity will not change dramatically because of winning the World Cup, so changes in technology and tactics are a big problem.


    Continue to stick to 4321?


    Seems to follow the laws of football: victory does not change!


    However, it has its own limitations, plus it will be thoroughly studied by opponents, and then persevere, it will only fall into the embarrassing situation of the struggle of the beast.


    Especially with the World Cup champion, the arrogance and arrogance of the Englishman''s heart is unlikely to continue to fight the conservative anti-rebellion.


    Aldridge''s eyes slowly moved down from the sky, fixed on Stramagioni''s face, and asked, "What do you think can be changed in England?"


    Strama Jonachichi said nothing for a long time.


    It''s hard for him. It used to be that understanding England was from the perspective of external observations, but it was really not good to speak without internal specific understanding.


    Aldrich said: "People are still those people. The skills of some young players will improve in the next two years, but overall, the overall creativity is still not enough to rival the European powers. In other words, if you want to transform the team, you still have to It¡¯s too unrealistic for the team to start by not attempting to have a player who is at the heart of changing everything. Jenson, what advantages do you say about England?"


    "Physical fitness, bravery, unity. If detailed to specific players, individual speed advantages, positioning ball ability, long pass, but these are compared with other strong teams, others have it, but they are not superior."


    Aldrich nodded and sighed: "Yeah, we have, others have, others are outstanding, we may not have it, so we play a core factor, on the basis of the entire team, we magnify our advantages, we are good at For the foundation, to create a new tactic that meets our survival status. The three points you said are almost the same as I thought. Our players have a large overall running range and good physical fitness. As long as they are reasonably arranged before the competition, they need to be arranged reasonably. This can still reflect this advantage. The large range of activities represents strong mobility, bravery, huh, huh, a bunch of rough brothers. The technical things are indeed incomparable with the European powers. Unity, this is probably because of our technical capabilities It¡¯s not outstanding, so the distribution of ball rights is reasonable, so it seems to be more united than other teams. For talented teams like Argentina, the distribution of ball rights is a big problem, so sometimes it does not look like a whole."


    Stella Maggioni looked deep in thought, but Jenson''s eyes became brighter and he smiled: "Since it has to change, there is only one choice left."


    Aldrich nodded and said: "Gambling a chant, the achievements have been achieved, no success, no way, I think leaving after the World Cup, also because the team''s limitations are too large, since staying in this seat, the European Cup There is no ideological burden, just go to the other extreme."


    Stella Maggioni was confused, and asked, "Excuse me, what are you talking about?"


    Jenson Haha said with a smile: "We have worked in Millwall for eight years and have summarized some tactics with obvious styles, which will be used according to the team''s situation. One of the tactics is named "group lion" by us. Millwall has been useful, but it has not been used to the extreme, because Millwall¡¯s own creativity is very strong. When you come to England, you can try it. Here, there is a limited creativity, but there are a group of engineers, plus a large range of physical activity, saying It may be able to play to the extreme, and it is completely two extreme tactical systems with the previous 4321."


    Stella Maggioni was excited and asked, "What is it like?"


    Aldridge whistled and smiled, "Invite us for a drink at night?"


    Stramagioni was stunned, but did not expect Aldridge to blackmail so shamelessly.


    He nodded and said, "OK, but don''t try to fool me!"


    Jansen smiled and said: "Do you know Millwall''s defensive strategy of oppressing offense?"


    "Well, roughly understand that by cutting high opponents and cutting the opponent''s offensive formation at the same time, starting from the forward to form the first line of defense, from the front court layer by layer to the midfield back."


    "That''s just a theory, and Millwall can''t use this theory to the extreme because of the player''s characteristics, because you can''t let Ronaldinho, Henry, Pirlo, defensively, and their defensive ability. It¡¯s also pitiful, so they use the position to cut the opponent¡¯s point-to-point offensive formation in defense and block the pass line. However, in the England formation, there are indeed many defensive players, they will no longer just be It is to cut the opponent''s formation by standing, but to crush the midfield of the opponent''s three-line formation completely through crazy running and pressing! Sublimation of the cutting is not waiting for the opponent to hesitate and pass the error, but We reshape the game through crazy rushing. This tactic is used to the extreme, which is to use destructive power to form a dominant force! The visual sense will be a group of lions strangling their opponents crazy and destroying them in terrible chaos!"


    Stramagioni was dumbfounded.


    Is he still playing football?


    Destructive power forms dominance?


    This idea is subversive to him.


    Aldridge didn''t say much, just stood up and said lazily: "Come on, surely you won''t be stingy and invite us to dinner."


    On the way out of the training base, Aldridge looked at the setting sun and suddenly had new expectations for the 2004 European Cup.


    In 2004, one of the strongest offensive football representatives, the Czech Republic, reshaped the game to form a dominant force in Greece, born a new tactical concept but stillborn in France, the host of the golden generation.


    Aldridge has a new goal, leading the new England and European powers to hunt Portugal!

 Chapter 896： Over, poodle

    Just as Aldridge had dinner with Stella Maggioni and Jenson, some England national team members also came to Liverpool in advance.


    The day of the training report is tomorrow. Some players who come in advance will stay directly in the training base, and some people have their own plans.


    McManaman returned to the United Kingdom from Spain. Since he won the World Cup in the summer and performed well in the game, Florentino believes that the new season McManaman can bring some considerable influence and attention to Real Madrid, but How to solve the position of McManaman in the team, but Florentino can not cope.


    Because McManaman did not play too many games last season, Audrey recruited him to the national team for a friendly match.


    It was just after McManman got off the plane, he received a call from his old friend.


    Robbie Fowler.


    "Hi, Robbie, we can play together again, haha."


    "Yeah, I didn''t expect to go back to Liverpool together. It feels weird. I''m in Liverpool, how about you?"


    "Just got off the plane."


    "Get together first? Go to Anfield tomorrow?"


    "¡­¡­Ok."


    The two former friendly Liverpool brothers have been cleaned by Hollier, one has gone to Madrid and the other has joined Elland Road, but they have met again in the national team.


    This time the national team roster, Audridge recruited a lot of newcomers, young and old, after all, the seven main losers, and do not want to make the roster look shabby, must find some more people to replace the position.


    Like the striker, Irving didn¡¯t come, and Rooney was in the period when the national team¡¯s door was closed. Among the strikers in England¡¯s World Cup, Alan Smith continued to be selected, so Audridge recruited like Sunderland¡¯s Phillips and Saint Nan¡¯an. James Beatty of Putton, these are all good forwards in the Premier League, even Robbie Fowler, Aldridge also gave him the opportunity to return to the national team to see the state, after all, this former Liverpool God, Only 27 years old this year, should be the peak of the striker, in addition to the summer transfer Aston Villa''s Crouch was also recruited for the first time into the first team.


    The midfielder and defender also recruited a lot of newcomers in the late 70s and early 80s.


    A friendly match must not require so many people, but Aldridge still wants to inspire young players in this way.


    Give them a thought.


    Early the next morning, Aldridge got a call from Wenger as soon as he got up.


    "Aldridge, England¡¯s FIFA match day is a friendly match, right? You called Campbell to the national team, I have no opinion, but try not to let him play?"


    "Arsenal, if Arsenal did not play against Millwall, I might have the suspicion of consuming my opponent''s fake public funds. However, in the league, Millwall and Arsenal have already played. The next match is four months later. You Look, Alex didn¡¯t call me to complain, how many Manchester United players did I call in? Phil Neville, Niki Bart, Gary Neville, Wes Brown..."


    "Okay, I get it. Alas, Arsenal are not like you. If you are only 11 starters, the gap is not obvious. You can count on the bench. How can Arsenal compare with Millwall and Manchester United?"


    "Well, for the sake of many years old friends, Campbell, I only give him 60 minutes, okay?"


    "45 minutes?"


    "Goodbye."


    After the arc hung, Aldridge shook his head with a smile, and Wenger, who had spent his time carefully, did have his difficulties.


    At the training base''s restaurant, Aldridge didn''t come too early. Jenson, Stella Maggioni, and other coaches were already sitting there for breakfast. Their expressions were a little strange. Pay special attention to observe Aldridge Change of look.


    England came here to train, and the chefs of the national team naturally came here as well, just like a big pot of rice, where nutritionally balanced food was placed, how much to eat and how much to eat, Aldridge brought a plate to breakfast, came to the coach At the table where we were, after sitting down, we found that everyone looked weird and asked, "Is there something dirty on my face?"


    Jansen frowned and asked in a low voice: "You didn''t read the news?"


    Aldridge''s expression changed when he heard this sentence, and he was able to guess when he was keen, but when people around him said such things, there must be negative news.


    He lamented and said, "What the **** happened?"


    Stramaggioni took out a newspaper from under the table and handed it to Audridge, a local media newspaper in Liverpool.


    Aldridge looked at the front cover picture and closed his eyes again with a sigh.


    It was a scene in a nightclub with two men in their hands, smiling unscrupulously with glasses of wine, and obviously playing hi-pi, and the content of the title was "McManaman and Fowler Liverpool reunited, Carnival all night!"


    Aldridge opened his eyes and smiled, folded the newspaper and put it to the side, and said to everyone: "Continue to have breakfast, work starts at 9 am."


    Others looked at each other, some new coaches just stopped talking, in their opinion, McManaman is a typical dog who can''t change the shit!


    Originally cleaned from Liverpool to Bernabeu, it was quite good, and it made a lot of credit for England to win the World Cup. How good is it to reinvent the classic special case?


    It''s only been two months since the World Cup, and it''s revealed again


    Still satisfied?


    No pursuit?


    So slack off and let it go?


    But he is only 30 years old, and he can still insist on one contest. If he is willing to work hard, 32 years old will continue to become the main force of England. Is it impossible to compete in the European Cup two years later?


    Aldrich has long been tired of such things as players, and he has gradually become a big name as a coach, clearing up, or being dirty!


    He is not a nanny and does not want to wipe his ass!


    Thinking education or something, **** it!


    I can make you rich, I can make you famous, I can make you stand out, I don''t owe you anything, you don''t clean yourself, you don''t lead by example, don''t you work hard, do you blame me?


    I''m not upset, heartbroken, heartbroken for you either, it''s going to rain, mother is going to marry someone, you can''t restrain yourself, I won''t force you.


    At 9 am, the new England team assembled on the training ground.


    When Aldridge came with the coaching staff, the Three Lions without a captain consciously stood in two rows.


    After Adrich glanced around, he silently nodded the number of people.


    Two people.


    McManaman and Fowler.


    He introduced the new coaching staff to the team one by one, and then officially started the national team training.


    No bold words, no teachings, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner in a sparse and ordinary atmosphere.


    ...


    After the hangover, McManaman woke up with a headache and woke up, only to find out that he was in a hotel suite, the room was crooked and disorganized, and he felt the strong light coming into the room from the gap between the curtains. When he shone on his face, he woke up!


    Looked at the time, it was 1 noon!


    late!


    With a loud curse, he quickly took the phone to call Aldridge, originally intended to compile a lie, saying that his flight delay did not arrive in time for the national team to report or the like.


    But when the phone was connected, there was no Aldridge''s voice in the receiver, only a long silence.


    The phone is on.


    McManaman knew that Aldridge¡¯s ears were definitely on the other end of the phone line.


    He slapped it on his face and couldn''t say anything to his mouth.


    About three minutes passed, McManaman still didn''t speak, his heart was beating faster and faster, panic and worry made him unwilling to keep his mind.


    Ordrich spoke first.


    Normal tone.


    "Steve, it''s over."


    McManaman faced his struggling face, he knew what "end" meant, and he begged almost sobbingly: "Please give me..."


    "ended."


    "No, I..."


    "ended."


    "¡­¡­Wow"


    McManaman sat on the bed against the bed, curled up in a ball, and shed tears of remorse, and wept bitterly.


    Chance, he cherished it, that was before the World Cup.


    He squandered it right now.


    Aldridge didn''t hang up the phone, listening to the regretful howl of a man.


    After McManaman calmed down a little, Aldridge hung up the phone after speaking the last two words.


    "Take care."


    ...


    McManman and Fowler not only spent the night at Liverpool nightclubs, but also missed the morning training on the first day of the England national team training.


    This national team that has just won the Hercules Cup will naturally have higher expectations on Fleet Street. You know, the history of England has never won the European Cup! Not once!


    Many people have already fantasised that Aldridge led the world championship to bring the European Cup back to England.


    Therefore, even in the national team friendly match, England has received unprecedented attention!


    The negative incidents of McManaman and Fowler spread throughout England for the first time, and the reporters who swarmed over wanted to know how the national team would respond to the scandal.


    Aldrich promoted his resolute style of doing things. After training in the morning, he held a press conference.


    Borrowing Anfield''s press room, in front of a house reporter, announced the punishment for McManaman and Fowler.


    "As long as I am the coach of the national team, I will never recruit McManaman and Fowler. Their irresponsible behavior has brought shame on the national team and is typical of many young players."


    The reporters on Fleet Street looked at each other, and the scene of the conference was dead.


    Fowler also went astray. At that time, he was not selected for Aldridge''s World Series squad. Fleet Street had been unequaled for Fowler, but England won the World Cup, and Fowler was optional.


    But McManaman is different.


    The World Cup made England aware of the importance of this talented technical player to England. It is the type of player scarce in England. With and without him, there are really two different scenes.


    The commander-in-chief is not well-known for his iron fist. That¡¯s because the discipline rules he governs are not harsh, but the commander-in-chief said nothing. The discipline I set is very humane. If you don¡¯t follow this, then there is nothing. Love can be said.


    A reporter hesitated for a moment and asked: "Sir Hall, if McManaman publicly apologizes and confesses to the England team, can he return to the national team?"


    The reporter was pleading with McManaman in disguise.


    Aldridge''s expression was as usual, and he said lightly: "Discipline is discipline. No player can override discipline. The expulsion of McManaman and Fowler is not because they missed the morning training, but because I made clear the discipline regulations. During the recruitment of the national team, you can''t get into the nightclub, let alone the negative news that has damaged the image of the national team. The apology can save everything and change everything, then what is the discipline? I''m sorry after the violation When the joke never happened?"


    In the silence of the reporter, Aldridge got up and left.


    All this happened an hour before McManaman called Aldridge.


    Fleet Street quickly spread the national team''s penalty notice.


    England fans were in full swing.


    The hero two months ago, the poodle who scored the winning golden ball in the World War I against Brazil, and the poodle who was named as the best team member in the World Cup.


    In this way, say goodbye to the national team!


    Even if Aldridge is destined to retire after two years, it is presumed that no successor will recruit McManaman, who is 32 at the time and 34 at the next World Cup, let alone sweep Aldridge from the emotional side. I am afraid that even the FA will not agree.


    It can be said that McManaman said goodbye to the national team completely.


    Since then, McManaman seems to have squandered all his talents and energy in the World Cup of Korea and Japan that he will never forget. After the World Cup, he was expelled from the national team. At the age of 30, he took an amazing The speed has fallen, and it has since collapsed until it is retired.


    However, he never said a word of complaint to Aldridge. In the published autobiography, he wrote the story of his work with Aldridge as a large chapter. There are many beautiful words, and Aldridge is called "side of the stadium" The greatest king".


    For his own end, he did not shy away from admitting that it was caused by his indulgence.

 Chapter 897： Dutch War

    When Aldridge came out of Anfield''s court lane, the entire England fans stood up and applauded!


    "Sir Hall is here! Leading England to bring the Hercules Cup back to England''s Young Masters World Cup for the first time in the field, and received the applause of all the fans in England! No high respect can express the English fans to this young handsome. Thanks and admiration, now we have reason to expect that under the leadership of Sir Hall, England will be full of ambition and fighting spirit on the new journey! Yes, I am talking about the European Cup in 2004!"


    Aldridge walked all the way to the coach seat. The fans in the nearby stands protruded across the edge of the stand and gave him applause and cheers. The pursuit of the young handsome in England was unimaginably crazy.


    Stella Maggioni, who had just sat on the coach''s bench, felt his breathing was abnormal.


    He hasn¡¯t played professional games for a few days, coached the U17 youth team for a year, and has watched countless games in the stands. However, this small style of football field in England, he is still immersive for the first time, especially as a coach The sound inside the stadium lasted for a long time, as if it was an invisible pressure, breathless.


    He saw Jenson calmly smile around him and had to admire each other''s concentration.


    Aldridge walked to the coach seat and sat down, smiling at Jenson: "I hope I won''t be scolded by fans today."


    "Haha, anyway, you didn''t recruit much of the main force at all. That''s it, and McManaman''s departure. Fans have already been mentally prepared to buy tickets. You are not putting Beckham, Owen into the team. On the bench, in that case, the fans may be dissatisfied."


    Aldridge raised his eyebrows and said nothing.


    Not long after, the referee of this friendly match led the way, followed by England and Holland starting players.


    When the players entered the field, Aldridge remembered that he did not shake hands with the opponent''s coach, but was disturbed by applause on the court.


    "Ah, I hope he doesn''t think I took the World Cup and put it on the shelf. It''s not a stranger to say."


    "What do you say to yourself?"


    Jenson asked curiously.


    Aldridge pointed to the coach seat next door secretly and said, "I forgot to shake hands with the other side. Do you remember him?"


    Jenson probe went out to look around, trying to think back, and said tentatively: "The coach of Eindhoven then?"


    "Fuck, you are still Dutch, even your compatriots don''t seem to know each other."


    "I haven''t paid much attention to the Netherlands in recent years. It was a long time since Millwall and Eindhoven played together. Why, do you remember?"


    "Well, remember, I had expected him, but I was very disappointed."


    Aldridge said nothing else but the Dutch coach, Ed Vokat, who led Millwall many years ago.


    Van Gaal led the Dutch team to resign and failed to break into the 2002 World Cup, Ed Vokat was the successor.


    Seeing the starting player of the Dutch team, Aldridge whispered again: "Friendly match, don''t be like this, the pressure is great!"


    The Dutch team is doing their best!


    England is too cold, and only Gerald, Campbell, Neville and others can support the scene.


    "England and the Netherlands are both in their respective teams in this round of the European Preliminaries. What is interesting is that this friendly match is the initiative of the Dutch Football Association to contact the FA. It seems that the Netherlands team that failed to go to the World Cup wants to prove itself in front of the new World Cup champion. But the Dutch may be a little depressed at this time, because in this England training, many of the main forces have not been recruited. Sir Hall, who has always emphasized the combination of work and rest, very considerately let the national team of these summers struggle for more than a month to recuperate to ensure that England will start the European Cup qualifier tour in a better state in October."


    "What makes us more curious is that the formation of this friendly match in England has changed. The 4321, which was listed as a classic tactic, was actively abandoned by Sir Hall. He chose the 442 formation, but it is not the traditional 442 in England, but a small one. Diamond midfielder 442. The two sides will be introduced below.


    England starts with 442.


    Goalkeeper: James.


    Guards: Gary Neville, Campbell, Terry, Bridge.


    Midfielders: Hargreaves, Gerrard, Carrick, Joe Cole.


    Forwards: Alan Smith, James Beatty.


    The Netherlands started with 433.


    Goalkeeper: Van der Sar.


    Guards: Reziger, Stam, De Boer, Van Bronckhorst.


    Midfielders: Koko, Davis, Seedorf.


    Forwards: Ovimas, Kluivert, VanderMead. "


    Although it was a friendly match, most of the team''s main force did not report to the national team. Aldridge''s training was mainly based on ease. In addition, he began to build a new round of national team technical and tactical system. It was more difficult than when he just took over the national team. Smaller, after all, the team philosophy, the player''s tacit understanding, this level of things will not disappear, there is no need to overthrow, only to change the technical and tactical system content.


    Two years, it should be enough, especially in a group that does not have much pressure to qualify for the European Cup qualifiers.


    And this friendly match is the beginning of the change.


    England changed to 442.


    It''s a change, not a return.


    Because this is very different from the traditional 442, first of all, they still have no frontier.


    The Dutch team apparently came to Anfield with the courage to kill the world champion Majestic, and played extremely unrestrained from the start of the game.


    After all, this group of players on the English court haven''t played together for a few days. The tacit understanding of the cooperation is unbearable. Coupled with the high requirements of Aldridge''s new tactics, the team is extremely demanding. On the scene, there is only one feature on both ends of the offense and defense: chaos.


    After the opening, the Dutch team got a lot of good offense opportunities, but none of them turned into a great opportunity. It seemed to be too hasty, and did not have the patience to calmly deal with the final attack, but Aldridge found an interesting phenomenon that made him There was an evil smile in the corner of the mouth.


    "What are you laughing at? We are passive."


    Jenson was very puzzled by Aldridge¡¯s somewhat gloating smile, and look at Stella Maggioni¡¯s dedication next door! Others frowned, and they looked worried. They were obviously worried about the unfavorable situation of the team.


    Aldridge lowered his head and chuckled.


    "Hey, what the **** are you laughing about? Let me say it."


    In fact, today''s friendly match has another meaning. Aldrich did not make it clear, but Jenson could understand it.


    That is, they don''t want England to win or how good-looking England can play.


    Even losing is acceptable!


    Why?


    Beat the arrogant English!


    Let them wake up from the joy of winning the World Cup.


    Although it is impossible to stop the blind arrogance of the English, it is better than nothing to suppress the amount of suppression.


    Just like a team, it is always in adversity, indicating that there is a problem with strength.


    But if it is always smooth and smooth, it is not beautiful, because you might fall suddenly and you will fall apart!


    This set has already summed up a set of relatively handy experiences in the eight years that Aldridge has been in charge of Millwall.


    Therefore, the Dutch team hopes to play in a friendly match. Aldridge let the Football Association directly agree to ask the Netherlands to pay for the money.


    But beating the team produces a sense of crisis, urgency, and brings a certain amount of pressure. It is impossible to deliberately release the water if you understand the reality. It is too nonsense to lose the game intentionally.


    The opponent is strong, which is enough.


    But the Dutch team is not as strong as Aldridge imagined.


    He bent down with a stomachache and hugged his stomach, and turned to smile at Jenson: "I always felt that being an England coach was a painful chore. Planning to become the national team coach. But now think about the European powerhouse, so many national teams, which national team coach is good? France? Germany? Italy? Spain? The Netherlands? Seeing the performance of the Dutch team, I suddenly Feel lucky, but sympathize with Ed Vokat."


    Jenson understood most of the meaning in Aldrich''s words.


    Like France, there are ethnic problems internally, and Zidane''s greatness is partly due to his great contribution to national integration.


    Germany, that is a place where the thinking of seniority is deeply rooted. You dare to move some big brothers to help the newcomers to stand alone, just wait to be forced into the palace!


    Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands have more or less similar problems, either because of interests or nationalities, but any problems that are reflected in the society of a country will actually be reflected in the football circle.


    Like England, it''s pretty good.


    At least the issues that Aldridge has to worry about rarely come from outside the competition.


    But Jenson still didn''t understand Aldridge''s last sentence. He lowered his head and asked, "Why do you have to sympathize with Ed Wokart? I think we should sympathize with England now, we are being beaten up by the Netherlands!"


    "Hahaha, to be honest, how many do you think can win England with the Dutch?"


    "Uh, if we die, they can''t win, or at most one. According to our situation today, we may lose at least one."


    "It''s been 25 minutes since the game. The Dutch team has so many opportunities. Why didn''t they have a decent shot?"


    "Uh¡­¡­"


    "Don''t see it yet? Fuck, you should continue to study with me."


    "Talk, hurry!"


    "You didn''t find Seedorf and Davis, they only passed Cruyvert the pass? So many good chances before, if they are willing to pass the ball to Ovimas or Van der Mede, then the last pass Or the final blow, the Dutch team can do better! England have lost the ball! Hahaha, Ed Wokart, can this question be **** by the head coach? The Dutch team, the uncrowned king, deserve it!"


    Jenson Horan looked up into the field, his expression uncertain.


    In fact, to watch the game intuitively, I don¡¯t think the Netherlands has a big problem. It can be understood as too hasty, eager to hit the attack directly from the center line to center Cruyvet.


    And since Seedorf, Davis, and Cruywitt were Ajax¡¯s teammates, how do they cooperate and contact each other? What is strange?


    But if you think deeply, Essdorf, Davis''s level, will not understand the importance of the combination of side and middle?


    But it was a strange place to pass on Cruywitt so arbitrarily.


    As a Dutchman, Jenson immediately understood that he was not surprised.


    This is the conflict between the Netherlands and the whites and blacks, the Dutch and the Surinames, from all levels of society, to football, to the national team, whenever the Dutch team fails, the infighting factor is indispensable. Infighting infighting, in the end What is the infighting? What''s so infighting?


    It is a social problem.


    In a country, problems that cannot be solved by the whole society can be solved perfectly in the national team?


    England also has problems such as racial discrimination, but it really does not meet so sharply in the football field, like Manchester United and Liverpool are foe, Beckham and Irving can become a model of the best partner.


    Aldridge has a little sympathy for Ed Wokart. This is not the kind of problem that the head coach can sit down and be honest and let the players join hands to be good friends.

 Chapter 898： End of record

    The performance of the Shinco World Cup debut after winning the championship was eye-popping.


    The offensive and defensive system is chaotic, the defense seems to be full of mistakes, the fronts are not closely connected, and often multiple points encircle and suppress one point to expose a huge space to the opponent, or the lack of complementary positions between teammates and key defense in the key position, the attack is even more terrible. Carrick, Gerald, Joe Cole seemed to be different in the midfield and frontcourt, either everyone stood there trying to control the field, or rushed up together and lost the sense of hierarchy.


    Alan Smith started as a striker, but the game seemed to be a midfielder. James Beatty was selected for the national team for the first time. He was eager to perform and tried to shoot himself at a slight chance. It seemed that there was no teammates in his eyes.


    The England team is like a squadron fighting on the field.


    The Dutch team obviously has a lot of good opportunities, but they have wasted it again, and it has made the English fans feel wasted and wasted.


    For example, in the 35th minute of the first half, Seedorf cooperated with Davis to penetrate the English midfielder and came to the front of the penalty area. Van der Mede, who cut from the side, waited for Seedorf to pass a straight stop. Also, as long as Seedorf passes, Van der Mede can get a single-pole diagonal shot to complete the goal, but Seedorf just passes the ball to Kluivert who was not marked by Campbell''s personal defense, and then Kluivert Handling the ball didn''t pass Campbell, nor did he get out of it, and then Campbell stretched his foot to stab the ball away, so a great opportunity was wasted.


    Before the end of the first half, Aldridge came to the side of the court and made a simple gesture to make the team slow down the pace. Since the faster the chaos, the better it is to slow down and organize the attack slowly, at least, The scene will not be confused.


    The Dutch''s problem is becoming more and more obvious. They don''t look like a team, they are more like a tripartite game on the field.


    Speaking of the glory of the Netherlands, the contribution of the Surinamese people is indispensable. However, Suriname founded the country in 1975. It is not difficult to understand that after the 70th generation represented by Seedorf from the Dutch national team, the Dutch genius productivity has plummeted. Is the lack of contributions from the important Suriname talent pool.


    The first half of the game ended after a long-range flight outside Gerald''s penalty area, and it was flat to zero.


    Aldridge did not criticize the players when he returned to the locker room, but focused on arranging the offensive system.


    Especially in the midfield, Hargreaves defended and intercepted, Carrick sorted out the front and back field connection, Gerald raid, Joe Cole took on the organization task in the front waistline, the double forward attacked forward, and the defense retreated and stirred up .


    This is not an ideal assignment of responsibilities, just a temporary response to this game.


    In the second half, England''s performance improved somewhat, driving the defense with a clear offensive duty.


    The Dutch side estimated that Ed Vokat held an ideological education meeting for the whole team during the halftime break. The obvious black-and-white and intriguing secret fight in the first half disappeared.


    In the 58th minute, the England team finally played a very threatening offensive.


    Joe Cole and Bridge assisted, Carrick behind them formed a continuous triangle pass cooperation, and then interacted with the retreating Alan Smith, who was straight forward behind Bittie who was running forward, than Dee was depressed, he took the Dutch defense off the run, but the ball was not passed to him.


    From behind, Gerald killed up, raided into the penalty area, and just received Smith''s pass, forming a semi-single shot, almost 12 yards diagonally to the goal position, Gerald shot and was shot by Van der Sar. Block it out.


    "Pretty, England played the world championship style this time! It''s a pity Gerrard failed to put the ball into the Dutch team''s gate."


    Aldridge was sitting on the court and applauding the team. To say that among the players on the field, Gerald is a character worth relying on in the new national team. It is not because of fame, but technical characteristics. I am afraid that Gerald will continue to be a substitute, but it is a wonder.


    In the 60th minute, Aldridge made a large number of substitutions to give Crouch, Phillips, Dyer, Bart, Phil Neville, Brown and others to play.


    There is still no movement in the Netherlands.


    Ed Vokat looked at England''s catwalk substitutions, and it was not a taste in his heart.


    The young master didn''t take this game seriously.


    It always felt like a fist hit the cotton.


    After all, what if you really win?


    Can you wear a crown on behalf of the Netherlands?


    But the Dutch players were irritated by England''s careless attitude.


    In the last thirty minutes of the friendly match, there was no room for real swords and guns, and the Dutch team thrived, and the scene was full of passion.


    The England team does not have an advantage on the court. Fortunately, Aldridge now has Bart and Hargreaves in the midfield. The defense is still solid.


    The Netherlands replaced center Kluivert in the 70th minute and Fanny, the king of the small penalty area, made his debut.


    The Dutch team is getting more and more aggressive, and the continuous offensive pressure makes England''s restricted area scream, and finally in the 85th minute, VanderMead assists Fanny to score a goal!


    Aldridge''s expression was a little helpless.


    He conceded the ball.


    However, if he gave the opponent a chance, then the ball was too lost.


    "Vandermead''s cross, James made a turnover error! Van Nistelrooy scored in front of the empty goalkeeper, James failed to hit the ball, this mistake should be too bad!"


    James is not young anymore.


    32 years old.


    As a goalkeeper, this should be an age group with the best state and enough experience.


    However, this low-level mistake still happened to James.


    "Passing the ball will make mistakes, how can this be reassuring?"


    "Or, change Robinson?"


    After thinking about it, Aldridge said, "Well, after the qualifiers start, try Robinson, alas, England''s goalkeeper."


    The Netherlands won this friendly match. England lost 0:1 in Anfield. After the game, Aldridge and Ed Wokart talked on the sidelines for a while. They left Anfield without attending the interview and announced The England team disbanded.


    Before the training next month, the national team roster will be announced again.


    The task of the national team is coming to an end, but the work of the coaching team of the national team has started on the right track, and it has been carried out in an orderly and comprehensive manner.


    Aldrich returned to London with his two sons, and Ivan¡¯s due date is still three months away. He began to concentrate on staying with his family in London. He hired a tutor to start enlightenment education for Burt and Earl. It was sneaking out to play football, and Earl was more obedient.


    As for the panic sound made by Fleet Street because the England team lost the friendly match, Aldridge was deaf.


    Aldrich¡¯s life has become very regular. One day of each week is to teach at the youth training base. The remaining six days can be freely arranged. He has time to spend time with Yiwen to wander around and to spend time with children to learn and entertain. Spend a leisurely and comfortable life.


    He doesn¡¯t necessarily go to watch the ball every week, he will only appear in the box of the Lion King Stadium at home at Millwall, and since the new season, he has never said anything about the inside of the team before the media. Even when talking about Millwall, he talked about some diplomatic rhetoric in his capacity as chairman.


    However, from the middle of September, Millwall suddenly fell into a downturn.


    The League Cup ended with a wild victory.


    In the Premier League make-up in the FIFA game, Millwall also successfully won Charlton at home.


    Waiting for Tottenham on September 14th, a result of more than 400 days fell on Millwall!


    Lose!


    Tottenham beat Millwall in White Hart Lane 3:2!


    Nesta kicked off in 18 minutes!


    Nesta, who transferred to the king of the Summer Premier League in the summer, only needs to play two games and has to recover for 3 months!


    Tottenham coach Glenn Hoddle is proud, this season''s Tottenham start in the new season is very ideal, after defeating Millwall with 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss record in the top four points!


    Fleet Street condemned Klinsmann.


    "Times": The myth of the undefeated lion ending in White Hart Lane!


    "Daily Mail": Does Klinsmann want to be exhausted?


    "Daily Star": Tottenham defeated the mad lion with 4321, did Sir Hall watch the game?


    That''s right, Tottenham''s tactics of defeating Millwall at White Hart Lane, which was determined by Fleet Street to be the 4321 technical and tactical system to win the World Cup championship in England, is not a cat and a tiger.


    Hoddle also admitted generously after the game, saying: "England''s technical and tactical system to win the World Cup has always had a profound impact on the English football. At that time, 442 and now 4321, I think that the English clubs use this tactic without any Question, this will make us brilliant! Especially in the face of a super strong team like Millwall, 4321 is very targeted, I am very happy that we have ended Millwall¡¯s undefeated, and for almost a year and a half, the whole of Europe, Only Tottenham beat Millwall!"


    There are also media who feel that Hoddle is a little shameful, 4321 is conservative and will not be accepted by the mainstream of England. His big words are nothing but that today he played Millwall with 4321, replaced him with another team, and then used this tactic , I am afraid it is the end of Dong Shixiao.


    The internal problems of Millwall were also focused by the outside world.


    Klinsmann did not rotate. In the second half of the World Cup year, there will be "World Cup Syndrome" in the new season. Among the players in the Millwall team, among the frontcourt players, except for the Henry World Cup, they played a half and a half. Olsen played 5 games, Ronaldinho, Lampard, Klose, all participated in the World Cup from start to finish!


    Since the beginning of the war in mid-August, Millwall, who has not rotated, has gone to discuss things, going to Wales, to Monaco, and running back and forth, the physical energy consumption is even greater, plus the intensive schedule in England, and FIFA competitions are interspersed. A series of factors, Millwall''s non-rotation, makes the defeat of White Hart Lane look logical.


    The newly defeated mad lion of the league, before breathing, went to France to participate in the Champions League. Klinsmann still did not dare to rotate. He sent the main force to attack away, and his body was already at the end of the crossbow. Millwall was once again upset.


    The first stage of the UEFA Champions League group stage.


    Lance 1:1 Millwall.

 Chapter 899： After school crisis?

    Millwall''s undefeated was ended, and Audridge was very calm.


    There is no team that never loses. Millwall¡¯s undefeated wave of events has reached nearly 100 games. It has already reached the limit and the end is over. There is no regret.


    As for Klinsmann''s non-rotation, it is simply too persistent to win and lose, in other words, going to the Tottenham away and sending the bench to play, he has no idea, even if the main body''s physical condition is not ideal, they can finally feel It''s more reliable than coming off the bench.


    Due to the World Cup, Millwall¡¯s main players have much less rest in summer than other teams. In addition to the arduous task of the game and the load inside and out, Millwall¡¯s physical fitness this season is a test.


    This is why Aldridge left Klinsmann with a lineup close to 30.


    It is considered that the team''s main lineup needs more rest time during the game.


    Aldrich promised not to intervene in Klinsmann''s management of the team''s competitive operations.


    Difficult choices, Aldridge can make decisions without worries when he coaches, because he is not only the head coach, but also the boss, this family business is defeated, the courage is naturally superior, can be replaced by grams Linsman is different.


    Aldrich has already been mentally prepared. The team will have problems. Looking at the world, which team will not have problems? Has it always been smooth?


    Millwall can''t avoid vulgarity, nor can it violate the rules of football development, naturally problems will arise, otherwise, what do the head coach do?


    The only thing Aldridge worried about was Nesta. When the team went to France to challenge Lance, Aldridge came to the team''s medical center to learn about Nesta''s injury.


    Unexpectedly, Nesta was injured this time and was also detected by the Millwall medical team as an old injury that was not completely treated.


    "Aldrich, although he can recover from this traumatic injury after three months of truce, the hidden danger is that there may be old injuries recurring in the future. My suggestion is to let him undergo a comprehensive treatment, which will take about half a year. Time around. I don¡¯t know if Jurgen will agree."


    After listening to the medical doctor Nesta at the medical center, Aldridge did not hesitate to say: "The rules in the club are that the health of the player is the first, and the head coach should also listen to the doctor. You directly inform Jurgenesta It is enough to recuperate for half a year. I don¡¯t want to ignore the long-term benefits for short-term benefits. In particular, we are discussing the health of a superstar player."


    The doctor smiled bitterly: "But we issued a warning earlier, some players in the team should rest, but Jurgen still let them go to the game."


    After thinking for a while, Aldridge said: "Then exaggerate the physical condition of the players, in short, it is alarmist."


    The doctor was surprised, then nodded helplessly.


    ...


    "The defending champion was tied by Lance! Barcelona and AC Milan of the same group also drew! But Millwall was the biggest loser in the death group! No one thought Lance could qualify from this super death group, and The other three strong teams want to advance to the next stage of the group stage, they must go all out to get 6 points on Lance, which is why Klinsmann still sends his main force to play away games in the face of warnings from countless people. But his gambling was unsuccessful. In Millwall¡¯s post-match statistics, the running distance was one thousand meters less than that of Lance! This is a shocking gap. If it was not Schneider¡¯s last savior, I am afraid that Mill Wall can¡¯t even take a point away.¡±


    Sitting on a luxury passenger plane returning from France to London, Klinsmann had mixed feelings in his heart. This was Millwall¡¯s special passenger plane. The cabin was dead. The loss a few days ago and today¡¯s draw all made the team¡¯s Morale has fallen, and the main players have continued to fight under fatigue, and psychologically, they have begun to resist. Although they have not developed in the direction of contradictions, but only silence, it is possible to perceive the abnormality of the atmosphere.


    After all, the league and the Champions League are the team''s two most important fronts. After calming down, Klinsmann ruthlessly abandoned all other fronts, saying that it was abandonment. In fact, it is to return to the combat policy of the Audridge era. Training young players mainly, the league and the Champions League are the main battlefield of the main players.


    In view of the fact that the team has lost 2 points in the first game of the Champions League and wants to qualify for the death group, it has already lagging behind the other two competitors. Then the next three Champions League group matches, the opponents are AC Milan and Barcelona. Two games back-to-back, these three games are crucial, and must be the main force, then before these three games, the main players must be given enough time to rest and restore the fighting power to the best, so the league must Take risks and rush for young people.


    Klinsmann and his coaching staff made plans for the players to play in the next few games on the plane.


    On the weekend, thousands of people began to come out, Klinsmann finally sent a bench at the league home, the opponent is not strong, and is promoted to Manchester City.


    An old man who is no stranger to English football and Aldridge came to the Lion King Stadium for the first time as a coach.


    He walked into the field and stood in front of the coach of the visiting team. He looked around the stadium and thoughtfully stopped in the box where Chairman Millwall was, murmured, "Time is passing so fast, who can think of it?" Your kid is standing so high now."


    The head coach who led Manchester City was none other than the King Keegan of St James Park Stadium.


    Kevin Keegan led the England team to the German team at home almost two years ago. He went to the toilet and resigned. After a few months of rest, he entered Maine Road and led last season. Manchester City returns to the Premier League!


    Fleet Street interpreted Kevin Keegan''s career choice in Manchester City as Keegan''s fight with Ferguson. After all, a coach who retired from the position of the England national team coach actually chose England''s second. The coaching of the teams in the level league is inherently unreasonable. Based on Keegan''s glorious history in Newcastle United, the middle and downstream teams of the Premier League have no shortage of his suitors.


    Keegan and Aldridge are not familiar with each other, it is normal to have friction when competing, but in the end, he can drink a glass of wine and chat together, and live to Keegan''s age. Of course he can understand that he invited Aldridge to come and be his The assistant of the national team was rejected by Aldridge. It must be that Aldridge has his own ideas. The facts finally prove that Aldridge can lead England to success. Keegan does not regret it, nor will he be jealous of Aldridge. It makes no sense at all.


    But at this time, how can Keegan not be emotional when he is in the magnificent Lion King Stadium, facing the European lion mad lion, and Aldridge sitting high in the chair room?


    Manchester City is a newly promoted guest and a guest. Keegan himself advocates offensive, but he would say he dares to challenge Millwall on the road, then he is really looking for his own way.


    With the success of the last round of Tottenham, England has a wave of 4321.


    Millwall bears the brunt. Except for the championship group, it will not change the mature technical and tactical system. Basically, other opponents, from the midstream to the downstream, and then to the relegation regiment, regardless of the host and guest scenes against Millwall, they have made a sacrifice of 4321. consciousness.


    The 4321 was infinitely analyzed by the British ball critics, which is convenient for many coaches, including Keegan who is not good at training defense. He really painstakingly studied it. This kind of useism is very practical. Anyway, it is there. No need to use it!


    So much so that the "Sun" joked: Sir Hall dug Millwall a pit!


    This game is almost exactly the same as the last time Tottenham played. Manchester City is mainly defensive counterattack, and with their strength, they can not do the anti-counterfeiting power of Tottenham. At least, Tottenham also bought from Leeds United at a discount. For Robbie Keane, a newly promoted Manchester City team used almost all of their troops to defend.


    Millwall sent a substitute lineup and killed Klinsmann.


    Creativity in positional battles has plummeted. Like Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo''s shining gem last season is a good counterattack. The technical ability in the tough battle needs to be improved, especially in the intensive defense, they seem at a loss, arrows Villa lacked support and was almost invisible.


    After a dull 0:0 birth, Keegan happily separated the Lion King Stadium with a 1.


    In front of Klinsmann, there are new problems.


    The next round of playing Chelsea away, rival Derby, 3 days after Chelsea, is the Champions League at home against AC Milan, how to choose?


    Before playing Chelsea, there is still the League Cup game, which is nothing to say, to directly put the substitute players on the battlefield, Millwall defeated Derby County 2-1 in the middle of the week to advance to the next round.


    Chelsea is somewhat similar to Lazio in Italy this season. Ranieri claims that he didn''t spend a penny in summer, but actually made money. The team suffered a financial crisis and needs the club to work together.


    The tinker who combined the team with one hand led Chelsea to the Premier League with a tenacious attitude this season.


    Considering the special significance of playing against Chelsea, Klinsman still took out the main lineup with a 10-day rest to go all out to play the derby. As for the Champions League after 3 days, it will also be the main debut, and the good factor is that there is a home. Profit.


    Aldridge still did not go away to watch the game, and in this game, the unbeatable momentum of the Millwall league continued, Chelsea did not have much advantage on the field, but the old Zola, who is shining the second spring, this season As if blessing the senior BUFF, the state is brave and extraordinary.


    Millwall led twice in a row, and Zola equalized the score!


    Chelsea failed to win Millwall at home, but Stamford Bridge was thunderous. Zola, who is not old, became a Derby hero. When the suffering Chelsea had a bankruptcy crisis, the Blues fans even more chased the Italian.


    The house leaked in the middle of the rain, Klinsmann was in the wind and rain, he felt extremely frustrated.


    Millwall''s status forced them to take the initiative even when playing away.


    But Millwall''s midfield and backcourt defense does have problems. Aldridge originally brought Nesta to make up for this weakness. But Nesta was injured and the problems at the beginning of the season were exposed again.


    The league''s three rounds of defeats and a record of one loss and two draws led Fleet Street to start predicting when Klinsmann would end get out of class!


    At the critical moment, Captain Southgate stood up and united with the locker room to unify his position and firmly expressed his support for Klinsmann.


    Old and experienced players understand better than young people. If they do not support Klinsmann at this time, then Millwall is finished all season.


    Externally, we must show a united attitude!

 Chapter 900： Eve of dawn

    Just into October, the Champions League battle reignited.


    A pinnacle battle that countless fans around the world are watching is about to start at the Lion King Stadium.


    Millwall and AC Milan, the confrontation between the founders of the two dynasties in the past fifteen years, plus the number of top stars in both teams, this game is hailed as the most anticipated group match of the Champions League this season. Ever.


    Ancelotti is only 43 years old this year. It is not too much to say that he is underhanded. The new Milan coach, who is full of enthusiasm, led the strong lineup of the red and black legions!


    At the moment of entering the Lion King Stadium, Ancelotti and Keegan''s movements were similar. After looking around the stadium, his eyes stayed in the chairman''s box for a moment, and then he bowed his head and said something that only he could hear.


    "Strike you down!"


    He and Aldridge were old acquaintances, from the meeting when Millwall sold Thuram, and then sitting side by side when the Champions League draw was completed, plus the then Monaco coach Tijana, the three young handsomes sitting together The photo was turned out at this time, and I don''t know how many memories will be recalled.


    In the season when Millwall defeated Munich, Ancelotti and Aldridge privately dated the division division Barcelona. As a result, Millwall failed to pass the Bayern Munich level, and Juventus of Ancelotti is even more Shamelessly reversed by Manchester United!


    What the outside world does not know is that when Aldrich decided to retire, he once privately called Ancelotti to test the possibility of the other party coming to coach Millwall, but An Fat directly pointed out the topic at the time and said: "If I go to coach Millwall, I may not be able to deal with you in my life, no, I beat you! Don''t you feel sorry?"


    "I hold four Champions League trophy, five Premier League trophy, if you are me, will you regret it?"


    "Aldrich! Are you looking down on me? Wait, one day, I will beat Millwall first, and then force you out of the mountain! You want to sit comfortably and continue to sit and watch, hum, dream! "


    Ancelotti''s chubby face showed a concealed smile.


    I just didn''t expect this "someday" to come so fast.


    It is a lie to insist that he refused to take over Millwall in order to deal with Aldridge.


    It''s just that Ancelotti understands that Aldridge''s position to bring Millwall is too high!


    Later, people want to create a Millwall that is more brilliant than the Aldridge era, basically impossible!


    Therefore, the successor''s record requirements will also be ridiculously high, and a little fluctuation will be criticized by the outside world.


    For example, Klinsmann led Millwall only after the league won three rounds, which caused Fleet Street to make a noise.


    In all fairness, as far as Millwall''s difficulties are concerned this season, it is unrealistic to want to maintain the record last season.


    The sale of the four absolute main forces is one, the World Cup syndrome is the second, and it has caught up with the coaching change, plus it is regarded as a public enemy, and wants to kill the Quartet?


    Ancelotti and Klinsmann shook hands normally, somehow, some sympathy for the German.


    The seat of the top giant coach is not easy to sit in, especially since the last coach succeeded and retired, instead of ending in failure, Zhu Yu is in the front, and the successor''s light is really difficult to win.


    When the players from both sides entered the field, Pirlo and Gattuso, who were originally awkward in their hearts, applauded when the ceremonies read their names on the sidelines. Most of the fans stood up and applauded. Players'' gratitude and respect.


    This made Shevchenko somewhat unpleasant in his heart, he also left from Millwall, but he came back here, as if it were air, the mad lion fan regarded him as nothing, but it was Pirlo, and Gattuso was still being Treat as a hero.


    After all, in the eyes of fans, Shevchenko has abandoned Millwall for his own future. He joined the giants just after he became famous in Millwall, and Pirlo and Gattuso, although they also left, are not competitive factors. And the achievements of these two men in helping Millwall are extremely brilliant.


    Aldridge also stood up and applauded in the box, and his son was no exception.


    But there was a sigh after applause.


    Why do you value local accounts in football?


    The core is actually a question of belonging, not just the qualifications of the registration, as far as the current registration rules of the Premier League are concerned, before U21, playing in the national league for 3 years is regarded as a local account, regardless of nationality, and the players from the Millwall youth team are almost equal. Having a local account is not a problem at all.


    But if you train a foreign player in the four major leagues, or in the three major leagues, you need to be well aware of his desire to return to China after becoming famous, and if you train a native English player, there is no such worry. The problem is that there are too few human resources in England.


    In this pinnacle of the Champions League, the starting lineup of the two sides, the number of stars makes people bloody.


    Ronaldinho, Henry, Larson, Klose, Lampard, this is Millwall''s lineup in the frontcourt.


    And AC Milan, Gattuso, who is not defensive, also has Pirlo, Seedorf, Rui Costa, Shevchenko, Inzaghi.


    Rivaldo was still sitting on the Milan bench.


    A match between needlepoint and Maimang kicked off.


    Aldridge was sitting in the box holding Burt, and Burt looked up and asked, "Dad, will the crazy lion win?"


    Aldridge had a brief distraction.


    Previously, Burt would not issue such a question, it seems that Millwall always wins.


    But the recent wave of unrest has shaken the children.


    Aldridge pressed his chin against Burt¡¯s head and said softly: ¡°AC Milan is also very powerful. Don¡¯t guess in advance on the football field who will win and who will lose, because it will lose a lot of fun.¡±


    Burt nodded incomprehensiblely, and Earl yelled in the box: "Of course the mad lion will win! We have Ronaldinho, he can beat everyone!"


    ...


    In fact, Ronaldinho did a good job in this game, turning the old Costa Kuta into a dizzy turn. The impact he brought from the inside was unbearable for the AC Milan defense.


    However, AC Milan also has an advantage. The obvious advantage is midfield control.


    Pirlo, Seedorf, Rui Costa, the three teamed up to control the field, the power is extraordinary.


    Millwall broke the old defense of AC Milan with the speed characteristics of the Premier League team, and then AC Milan defeated Millwall''s weak defense with strong midfield control.


    Ronaldinho and Henry pass to each other and score two goals.


    Rui Costa sent an assist to Inzaghi, Shevchenko received a Pirlo long flyer to raid Neil, and AC Milan also scored two goals.


    It must be happy for fans all over the world who appreciate this game. There are 4 goals in 90 minutes, and there are plenty of great scenes, but the two sides are happy and worried.


    "AC Milan retired at the Lion King Stadium. The 2:2 score made Millwall fans sure to be disappointed because they failed to win the group direct rival AC Milan at home. In another game, Barcelona Lance won at 3:0 at home, Barcelona ranked first in the group scoreboard with 4 points, AC Milan and Millwall shared 2 points, and Lance bottomed with 1. The next two UEFA Champions League group matches may be decided For the fate of defending champion Millwall, if AC Milan and Lance play all 6 points, they will have 8 points, and Millwall and Barcelona will have at least one victory in the two rounds!"


    Aldridge bowed his head in the box and meditated. Burt and Earl did not disturb Aldridge, even if the fans left the stadium one after another to make the stadium deserted.


    Aldridge¡¯s thinking is about the problems encountered by Millwall¡¯s overall technical and tactics at the current stage. In the post-Pirlo era, the decline in midfield control is not too obvious, but today I encountered the super control put out by An Fat The opponent in the midfield.


    However, the decline in midfield creativity is very obvious. Lampard can bring forward shock force, but it can not bring the creativity of thunder and thunder, and Lampard¡¯s desire to move forward is strong, so the front-to-back connection, offensive and defensive conversion The key figures of the hub are not obvious.


    call.


    With a long breath, Aldridge recovered and took the small hands of Burt and Earl from left to right and got up.


    After only letting go for more than a month, Aldridge still has patience, and he also believes that Klinsmann will solve this problem.


    Because this season''s lineup is substantial, players with all kinds of characteristics are available.


    In the evening two days later, at the Leicester Square in West London, a red carpet was laid in front of the Empire Cinema, and many fans gathered here.


    Under the night, a giant banner fell on the square building, above which was the poster of a movie, with a blue lion as the background, and half-length pictures of several characters gradually enlarged from top to bottom. The protagonist is David Tennart. His chin is slightly high, and the meticulous suit and Qing Jun''s appearance make the young man''s frivolous performance vividly.


    In the center of the poster, a line of words is rendered with an explosion effect.


    "Crazy Lion: Eve of Dawn"


    Near eight o''clock, a lengthened Lincoln stopped in front of the red carpet. When Tennant took the lead out of the car with his female companion, many fans around him gave applause and asked for his autograph.


    Tennart smiled, not as domineering as the young man in the poster, and then, two children in small suits jumped out of the car and instantly caught the attention of many people on the scene, the penultimate The car was Aldridge. After getting out of the car, he turned around and carefully supported Yiwen out of the car, and then let Yiwen hold his arm.


    Aldridge smiled at Tennant: "Go and say hello to the fans."


    Tennart convicted and walked to the crowd next to the red carpet with an accompaniment. The sound of calling Aldridge''s name on the scene became louder and louder, and Aldridge smiled and raised his hand to say hello.


    Today is the premiere of the mad lion movie. More than 70% of the fans on the scene are Millwall fans. If not, they may not be active to watch the premiere. After all, they can¡¯t see the movie content.


    Going to the door of the Empire Cinema, Ewen let go of Aldridge''s arm, and Aldridge hugged the man standing at the door.


    "Danny, thank you."


    "Oh, Aldridge, thank you? I want to thank you. Unexpectedly, when the movie was filmed, Millwall''s global influence just went up a step, grass, seven crowns, and You, actually led England to bring the **** World Cup champion back. It was like a dream. It¡¯s amazing."


    This man is the director of this film, Danny Cannon.


    While they were chatting here, a luxury car stopped on the other side of the red carpet. The first man to walk out of it was Ronaldinho.


    Ronaldinho put on a slim suit today, with long hair braided into a ponytail, which is extra spirited and handsome when he is serious.


    However, when he saw Aldridge on the other side, he grinned directly, making Aldridge cry and laughed, and suddenly, his appearance was not compatible with this outfit.


    Ronaldinho was not eager to walk to Aldridge. Behind him, Southgate, Nedved, Larson, and Henry all got out of the car one after another. Five men in suits and shoes walked side by side, and the lights flickered along the way. Reporters, fans, scrambling to take out the camera to shoot...

 Chapter 901： What dream?

    At the premiere of "Crazy Lion: Eve of Dawn", Aldridge and his family watched the film together.


    Not to mention, the film plots and special effects renderings produced by Cannon are extremely shocking.


    At the beginning of the film is the old city of London in the seventies and eighties. Earl played the childhood image of the host, Ondridge, and witnessed a group fight between football hooligans after a game in a cold and wet alley.


    The calm-looking child''s eyes were clear and the hustle and bustle faded away, only to hear a gentle tone in his mouth.


    The scene of the film changed, but the tone of the music became clearer and clearer, and finally became bright and high in the "shuttle time", and finally merged with the songs sung by thousands of Millwall fans in the Lion''s Cave Stadium.


    "No one likes us, it doesn''t matter..."


    It was the team song of the mad lion, and the scene was also the background of Millwall¡¯s ups and downs in the Premier League.


    Next is the appearance of David Tennant, who plays Aldridge. The storyline of the movie revolves around several different professional representatives of Millwall fans, the future of the club, team building, and the Hall family into Millwall Unfold.


    Aldridge was full of praise for the film, because Cannon did produce a genuine football blockbuster, and all the elements were developed on the basis of football, reflecting the influence from fans, teams, players, and affecting people¡¯s hearts. The trend of the film''s plot is first suppressed and then raised, although nothing surprising, just like the American hero blockbuster, the appearance of the cock, and the end of the world is known to save the world.


    After all, it is a commercial film. In the film, aerial overhead shots are used to show the shocking scene of the football game during the fierce progress of the game, as well as the madness of the fans during the celebration, the joy of the players when they win the ball, and the publicity of the owner.


    At the end of the film, Millwall won the small triple crown, the league, the FA Cup, the European Cup Winners'' Cup, and when the team won the championship, it officially ended. There is a line on the blank screen: Mill As a league champion, Wall won the qualification for the European Championship next season, to be continued...


    In the film, like Southgate, Nedved, and Larson are live-action guests, although it takes less than 3 minutes to show their faces, it is enough to be the booby of the film.


    The projection room lights were bright, Aldridge stood up and applauded, and many of the audience who came to the premiere applauded.


    Aldridge smiled at Cannon beside him: "Danny, to be honest, the film was better than I expected. Especially when Millwall won the championship, the driver in the bar, in front of the TV, in the taxi, There are also tens of thousands of fans on the scene, so a moment of tranquility, and the shock and madness that erupted afterwards, this **** is football!"


    Cannon laughed: "The only thing I worry about now is the box office."


    "If you lose, I will make it up for you, haha."


    Several players who came to attend the premiere greeted Aldridge one after another, and then left successively. Ronaldinho finally ran over and asked Aldridge: "Boss, can I go to make a movie?"


    Even if Aldridge has stepped down as coach, Ronaldinho still calls him his "head."


    "Where are you going to make movies?"


    "It''s the one around me."


    Aldrich turned his head to look at Cannon and asked in a puzzled way: "Do you want him to live show the next one? How can he have time? A guest shot or two is fine."


    Cannon quickly explained: ¡°No, I¡¯m just going to tell you this. The background of the second film was selected from 1998 to 2002, but I want to use the player as the protagonist and named it as a lion: a ball Become famous. Starting with Millwall¡¯s loss of half of the team¡¯s main force in the summer of 1998, a fictional player pursues football dreams and is appreciated by Millwall. The player¡¯s creative prototype refers to him, not to let him star.¡±


    Ronaldinho wanted to come to understand the reason, and just played with Aldridge just now, haha ??laughed at this time: "Unfortunately, I have grown up, less than 17 years old look, otherwise, is it better for me to star in person? "


    Aldrich smiled and teased: "You really grew up? Can you not be so diligent about changing your girlfriend?"


    "What is this? Does it matter? Maradona, Bailey..."


    "Fuck, don''t learn from them in private life, it''s not a good example. In short, if you really grow up, always keep to the bottom line as a professional player, don''t let private life delay your job."


    "Well, rest assured. By the way, boss, recently the team..."


    Ronaldinho seems to want to talk to Aldridge about Millwall''s dressing room, but Aldridge put his hand on his shoulder with a solemn expression and said seriously: "You know we are a giant, and the outside world is almost cruel to the giant. Sometimes, you have to learn to ignore and judge the facts calmly. The team¡¯s interests will always come first. It¡¯s normal to have difficulties. Isn¡¯t it? We have encountered difficulties of one kind or another in the past. In the future, the future success will become even more precious."


    Ronaldinho nodded solemnly without saying anything. Before leaving, he lowered his head and looked up at his Earle, raised his fist and made a counter-attack with Earle.


    ...


    Although Millwall failed to win AC Milan at home in the middle of the week, in the weekend league, Millwall took away Birmingham at home 2:0.


    The bad news is that Henry was injured.


    But for Millwall''s midweek draw with AC Milan and their victory over Birmingham this weekend, Fleet Street still made some criticism.


    Some media simply want to provoke trouble, while some media are critical, and only the columnar arguments issued by David Miller are more objective.


    "Crazy Lion is losing its most powerful foundation: the team!"


    David Miller analyzed the changes in Millwall''s new season through a specific analysis of the two games of the Champions League and the league. Simply put: Millwall is moving towards mediocrity.


    This mediocrity does not mean that the team has become less capable, but that the team''s technical and tactical system no longer has obvious advantages. They have the courage to be rich, but they have embarked on a path of relying on the personal abilities of stars.


    "In the past two or three seasons, Millwall''s super offensive firepower has always been talked about by the public. The goals of the plum blossoms have made the Premier League golden boots, and even the European golden boots, early into the Millwall forwards. In the bag, competitors are instead their own teammates. The key point behind them is that Millwall is a whole, a team, and the technical and tactical system does not depend on a certain point, so it can be achieved that the East is not bright, the West is bright, and Henry is one or two. The field condition is not good, there is Larson coming forward, Larson is not in the state, and Nedved, they always lack offensive points to solve the battle, because their entire team system is running perfectly, and now Mill Wall can only rely on the star''s personal ability to support this system. If Ronaldinho is not on the field, Millwall''s offensive system will completely collapse because they have lost their balance in the midfield!..."


    In fact, not looking at the evaluation of Millwall from the outside world, only looking at the record of Millwall in the league. If you still want to criticize Klinsmann, it seems too harsh and rude!


    After 9 games in the league, Millwall has 5 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss. This is definitely not the best start for Millwall in the past seven Premier League seasons, but it is not the worst. In particular, they ranked second in the standings!


    Perhaps it was the start of Arsenal''s 7 wins and 2 draws that made Millwall panic. It was the unbeaten victory of last season that made Millwall''s contrast so strong that it was the seven crowns that made this team It''s perfect, you can''t lose the ball, you can''t tie, and you can''t lose!


    Regarding the performance in the league, Klinsmann scored 80 points in Aldridge''s heart. If he didn''t lose, he would gain another 10 points. If he won two more games instead of a draw, it would be close to full score. .


    In the 38-round league, Millwall''s start in the new season is not the best, but it should be in the upper middle.


    However, the attention and pressure given to this ruling team by the outside world is too great to make Aldridge feel incredible, and sometimes it will be bombarded by the public opinion of the media and affect the thinking.


    Klinsmann worked diligently under tremendous pressure. He also found signs of a slight imbalance in the team''s midfield, and the opportunity for change happened just after the end of the ninth round of the league: Henry was injured.


    It''s not that Henry has a problem with his own ability, but Klinsmann likes Klose, and it is impossible to put Henry on the bench. It is only when the attack is too much that the midfielder is unbalanced.


    Now that Henry was injured, Klinsmann logically changed the lineup, he decided to use Alonso, Pedretti midfielder, Alonso organizes the midfielder, Lampard midfielder, trident Ronaldinho, Klose, Larson, in this way, returns the midfielder to balance.


    ...


    The preparation for the national team in October took place in London, and the new national team roster, it surely eliminated some of the players recruited in the team last month, and the main players of the World Cup returned.


    The sky was gray today, and it seemed to rain but no drop of rain was seen.


    When the recruited players of the England national team came to the training ground, they saw Aldridge looking up at the sky, wondering what national events were happening, and his expression seemed a bit worried.


    When everyone stood up and waited for the coach to speak, or started training directly, Beckham, Owen and others raised their heads and looked at Aldridge''s eyes, which had been hot for a long time. They missed the young coach.


    Aldridge walked back to the players with his arms old-fashioned, and his calm expression showed a smile. With this smile, many internationals also laughed.


    It was a smug smile.


    Take the World Cup, this can die without regret, right?


    Aldrich stretched his hands from behind to his back, raising his breath proudly: "Hi, world champion."


    "Hahaha."


    The group of international footballers laughed, and then Xiao Bailuan said: "Hi, world champion coach."


    "Hahaha, well said, you are world champions. I am the coach of the world championships. I have the European Cup in Portugal two years later. Let''s go and take the European Cup champions together, hahaha."


    Aldridge also laughed, and the internationals were frowning, and many people immediately echoed.


    However, when they were fantasizing, they saw Aldridge put a smile on his face, his tone suddenly changed, and said coldly: "Laugh, fart! Do you think that you will be invincible when you win the World Cup? Do you think as long as we train as we used to , And then go to Portugal and you can bring the championship trophy back? The European Cup qualifiers will definitely be ok, but if you think that England has the strength to win the European Cup, then I can only say one thing to you: what dream What about?"


    "Oh, cough, cough cough cough..."


    Some laughing players immediately answered, but turned into a cough.


    They saw that Aldridge''s eyes were sharp and expressionless at this time, and it seemed that he was not kidding them.


    That majesty came to the fore, and many players were unconsciously trembling.


    Suddenly remembered that last month, the national team just fired World Cup hero McManaman.


    Under the young master, it''s not like playing like a house.

 Chapter 902： Who accompanies me crazy

    Aldridge''s play has dumbfounded many young coaches nearby.


    Obviously you laugh first.


    Obviously, you are seduce them to reveal a kingly spirit.


    After 3 seconds, you roll your face and the players are silent.


    Stramaggioni only feels that the coach Aldridge is too authoritative, and some coaches who have been around the U21 and U18 national teams around him are uneasy.


    In their eyes, this group of internationals is a high presence, let alone reprimands, I am afraid that coaches sometimes have to seek their opinions and actions.


    After Aldrich finished training them, they all bowed their heads to reveal a reflective look.


    Southgate is 32 years old. It is hard to say whether he can finish the next competition. It depends on the state of the situation and the relationship between him and Aldridge. He has never laughed since the beginning. The opening remarks are very abnormal, there must be a demon if something goes wrong, and sure enough, the teammates around are dumbfounded.


    And he did not speak, only when Aldridge beat the national team''s mental state.


    Don''t float in the sky, come down and be down to earth!


    Beckham still has good prestige in the national team. First of all, it is a representative player of Manchester United. Secondly, he has played for the national team for a short time, and his contribution is not bad.


    The deputy captain raised his head and asked, "Coach, I think there is a contradiction in your words."


    Aldridge shrugged and asked casually: "Where is the contradiction?"


    "We have been taking the training very seriously in the past two years, during your coaching time, and have not been lazy or relaxed, so, we continue to maintain the working attitude of the past, why can''t we succeed? We have won the World Cup, we Why can¡¯t you imagine the European Cup? I don¡¯t think England¡¯s World Cup is all about luck.¡±


    Aldridge faced the team, arms folded, and said lightly: "That''s what you didn''t understand me. Work attitude? Serious training? This is your own job, it should be like this, and you should not pay what you should have paid. Things are used as capital. What I mean by training refers to the team¡¯s learning, running, and skillful tactics in the past two years. In other words, the skills and tactics that made the England team successful in the World Cup will not make us continue in the European Cup. Success, so everything has to be overturned."


    The players looked at each other with incredible expressions.


    Scholes asked puzzled: "No one can beat us yet, why does the coach deny all this?"


    Aldridge laughed dumbly, and after a while, he asked back: "The friendly match is not persuasive. But who are our opponents in the next two years? Turkey, Slovakia, Macedonia, Liechtenstein, you tell me, who can beat Us? No, then? We went to the European Cup. If someone beat us, what does it stand for? On behalf of us going home! Paul, do we have to go to the European Cup to test whether my conclusion is correct?"


    Scholes still retorted: "However, overthrow the team''s mature technical and tactical system, and then create a new one, and the risks..."


    Aldrich nodded, believing Scholes'' words.


    He paced back and forth in front of the team and said slowly: "Maybe you don''t know why I chose to leave after the World Cup. It''s not a high-profile festival. The reason is that England''s current technical and tactical system can no longer make any progress. Space, but the limitations are still very large, I don¡¯t say that we will lose badly if we play Brazil again, I will ask you to think carefully, if we play again with Argentina today, you think we will Is it easy to win?"


    Many players frowned at the news.


    This is the reality. It¡¯s not uncommon to say how good the technical and tactical system is in the World Cup tour in England. The key is unexpected. According to the performance of the World Preliminaries, it is not enough to arouse the vigilance of the world¡¯s powerful players. Make everyone pay attention.


    And won the World Cup. In the next two years, before the opening of the European Cup, England will definitely be a big favorite. All teams will pay attention to England, and their set of anti-anti tactics, it is really not difficult to say that restraint, It''s enough to put up a set of anti-anti-reactions. Even copying England''s 4321 can deal with England in turn, and England is the World Cup champion. The mentality has changed. How could it still shrink and fight sneak attacks?


    Aldridge continued: "As you can see, I am not discussing with you, but I will inform you of the decision. I will not naively believe that a more conservative technical and tactical system will allow England to continue to succeed. Therefore, I Will rebuild the technical and tactical system of the national team, and what I need is a group of players who can understand my intentions and firmly implement it to achieve my requirements to be the best player. How much time does the national team have in a year? Time to argue with you, on this issue, only accept or reject, Yang Fengyin violation of the player, sorry, it will be my stumbling block, I will kick hard. Ha ha, Paul is right, give up an already mature And to obtain successful techniques and tactics to create a new one, which is inherently risky, but I will do it alone, even if someone understands this as crazy, I will not change my mind. The question is very simple, how many people Will you go crazy with me?"


    Aldridge walked back to the front of the team and stood facing the team.


    This time, the generals of England will laugh again, smiling unassumingly.


    Crazy with the marshal?


    Whatever you want!


    Needless to say, Aldridge intended to understand the team''s attitude and waved his hand to let them warm up first.


    After they warmed up and returned, as when Aldridge coached the national team for the first time, the players had tactical boards in front of them. There was a set of seemingly complicated but extremely detailed tactical notes.


    Aldridge took a tactical board and said with a serious expression: "Okay, now we can talk about the topic. This set of tactics, called a group of lions, requires 11 players of the whole team. That¡¯s right, 11 players are in the game. The spirit is highly concentrated and coordinated, and it is clear that it is not a team cooperation, but a team of 11 people."


    As it said, it rained.


    Aldridge closed his mouth and his expression became depressed.


    At this time, the players reacted, probably knowing what it was like to see Aldridge looking up at the sky before training.


    ...


    Four days later, the English team set off for Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia.


    Slovakia has become a second-rate European team since parting ways with the Czech Republic. It has not been a famous star in a few years. Where is it like the Czech Republic? Not to mention the European Cup reached the final in the 1996 European Cup, now Nedved is supporting the scene There are also rising stars like Rosicky. Czechoslovakia has become a yellow flower yesterday. Slovakia is difficult to stand alone. Even if the main scene is against England, the chances of winning are very small. If it can tie England, it is considered upset.


    After the World Cup, the first official game of the England team attracted attention from the outside world. People want to see whether the England team will change.


    This expectation has been discovered by the outside world since the England team stepped onto the court.


    "The England team seems to have completely abandoned the 4321 formation that was a great success in the World Cup. Sir Hall used the 442 formation in the last friendly match. Today, 4411 is used, which can also be called 442. Let¡¯s see Look at England''s starting lineup.


    Goalkeeper: Robinson.


    Guards: Gary Neville, Ferdinand, Southgate, Ashley Cole.


    Midfielders: Hargreaves, Beckham, Lampard, Scholes.


    Forwards: Alan Smith, Irving.


    James, who had a low-level mistake in the last friendly match, was placed on the bench. Leeds United goalkeeper Robinson replaced him, and McManaman was cleared of the team for violating the team rules, which made Alan Smith get the starting position. Let''s come together See how England will perform in the new formation. "


    From the beginning of the game, Aldridge stood on the sidelines and looked at the battle seriously.


    After the opening of the England team, the whole army pressed on, and a sudden presence of the soldiers appeared in the city!


    In fact, the commentator is not quite right, or the formation distribution in a broad sense.


    Just like Cruyff would say that the formation is 312211, if the formation of England at this time is viewed in detail, it should actually be 32221.


    At the forefront is naturally Irving.


    In the back row are Alan Smith and Scholes.


    Later on, it was Lampard and Beckham.


    The starting midfielder is Hargreaves, but in fact, when a high position is rushed, a defender will come up, either central defender Ferdinand or one of the full-backs.


    11 players are definitely unable to occupy the entire area of ??the stadium, the ball can fly, the player can run, the key is to move, and this echelon layered formation is organized, when defending, it has a sense of hierarchy, and it is also easy to insert after the attack The player on hides the offensive point.


    Aldrich''s pursuit is to use the interlocking triangle system to maximize the high-level **** tactics. The big triangle is surrounded by small triangles, and the cross-displacement is also a system. When the team''s tacit understanding is sufficient, no matter how the opponent attacks You can attack from all directions from the left, right, and defend in all directions. Of course, except for the old long pass.


    Dare to use such a rich defense system, another key point is to make good use of the sidelines!


    The sideline, yes, is the sideline, because in the football field, the sideline itself is a layer of defense.


    To play this tactic and tear the opponent''s midfield, first of all you have to be more than the opponent, then there can only be one striker, so Alan Smith is actually a fake forward, and the defender must also withdraw one to press into the midfield, this can be free Adjustment, but Southgate¡¯s postponement is fixed, and it is still very important to fill in at a critical moment.


    Slovakia had limited strength, and was suddenly overwhelmed by England after halftime. They wanted to organize an attack and found that the ground ball could not pass the midfield. England seems to have many more people in the midfield. As long as someone gets the ball in the midfield area, the side immediately There are at least three directions for someone to defend, and the three-man defense seems to be very tactical. The people on the front do not grab, the people on the side are mainly blocked by the blocking route, and the first to grab is the diagonal rear. People, if they fail the first time, the people on the side immediately follow the second.


    Under the premise of not passing the ball, individuals must at least partially avoid three consecutive defensive blockades. This may require Maradona to possess it. Otherwise, the small rocket will eat raw unreasonably and be positive. The defensive player turns around and makes a mistake.


    Obviously, Slovakia does not have talents in this area, so after 10 minutes from the start of the game, basically the offense is to play a long pass, not like an offense, but more like a siege.


    Aldridge led England to the first game of the European Cup qualifiers, at least the scene let England fans see the strength of the world championship!

 Chapter 903： Hospitality

    Aldridge said everything was overturned, but it was not.


    Regardless of the various styles of technology and tactics, they do not exist alone, and there are similarities in some small details.


    For example, in the partial defense of England, when they played 4321, they used the triangle defense system most of the time, and their defensive cooperation was also teamed up with their teammates. It was like an offensive. Their defensive focus shifted to the midfield, so when attacking, they did not have to. The backcourt rushed forward, and the offensive method was also very similar to the past.


    Owen is near the goal, Lampard, Beckham, and even Ashley Cole are in the distance. His impact distance from the attacking city is closer, and he is more able to beat his opponent. The power of organization and scheduling in the midfield is still in Scholes. After the lack of McManaman, the decline in personal breakthrough ability can not be ignored, but Aldridge has taken into account when choosing this set of techniques and tactics. The important thing is whether the midfield can tear the opponent. Once it can be scored, the decisive role of the game is still the offensive and defensive rhythm, not whether a player has the ability to dribble, because it is closer to the opponent¡¯s danger zone, The team''s threat of forward threat can reduce the player''s personal dribbling effect.


    To put it bluntly, it is a word: Quick!


    The ball is faster than people, and running without the ball is faster than running with the ball.


    Offensive and defensive conversion rhythm is poor, if England launches a counterattack from the frontcourt, it is the slowest personal dribbling forward!


    This game certainly does not have any persuasion, because Slovakia''s overall strength is not enough to pose a considerable threat to England, so it is impossible to test whether England is so reliable.


    However, this does not prevent the players in England from enjoying the game. Fans see that England is like a group of lions overwhelming their opponents and slammed their opponents. It is natural to be overjoyed and cheered.


    In the 23rd minute, England intercepted the ball directly at the opponent''s backline. Scholes defended head-on. Alan Smith pokes the ball under the opponent''s foot from behind. Scholes went straight over the top and just breathed. The Slovak defense didn''t expect, how could the **** ball **** back?


    Not only did the ball fly over the top of their heads, but beside them, a figure flew past.


    Irving responded to the falling ball and hit it in the volley.


    "England took the lead in the first half unexpectedly and opened the record in the 23rd minute. The goal scorer was Irving. It was Scholes who assisted him. England''s play today is refreshing and very wild Unrestrained, you can see that the whole team is running non-stop, and the offensive and defensive are all in full swing.


    To play well, the most important thing to play is the physical fitness of the engineers who can''t run in England, and the ability to cut down opponents. Of course, you need to play with your brain.


    Slovakia can''t pass each other in the midfield and backcourt. The more the formation is, the more the back is.


    In the 39th minute, Alan Smith returned the ball in front of the penalty area. Beckham, who was running and followed, made a short pass to Lampard to assume the fort. Lampard came up with a heavy artillery and hit the ball halfway. Orientation refraction, still flew into the goal of Slovakia.


    "Haha, 2:0, England easily extended the lead to two goals. Last week, Lampard, who had just scored a goal in Millwall, also scored in the national team today."


    Aldridge still didn''t sit back. He just smiled when the goal appeared, and then returned to a serious expression. When the game restarted, from time to time, he would direct the players on the pitch to run.


    To allow English players to develop a game inertia, he must continue to put pressure on his opponents, this pressure is not from offense, but defense.


    In the second half, England changed horses, Irving was replaced by Beatty, Scholes was replaced by Joe Cole, and even so, England still scored two goals in the second half.


    Beatty scored a goal and Beckham set the goal.


    England swept Slovakia 4-0 away.


    The score may be unexpected, but in the whole game, the England team only gave Slovakia 2 shots, and all were missed.


    Aldridge kept shaking his head in an interview after the game.


    "There is nothing to discuss in this game. We just won a game that should be won. It is not that there is a lack of respect for Slovakia, but that England is indeed much stronger than the other. So defeating Slovakia does not mean that England has changed after the World Cup. Qiang is still standing still, or it¡¯s not as good as it was a few months ago. You can¡¯t comment on it. You don¡¯t need to discuss it in the media. It doesn¡¯t make sense. We focus on every game and try to play well in the European Cup qualifiers. It''s Portugal two years later."


    Aldridge really doesn¡¯t want Fleet Street to tout England anymore. After winning the World Cup, it blows up enough. Words such as great, epic, legendary, etc., are not only coaches, players all hear ears and cocoons, and even media suggestions The royal family should be knighted for every England national team player, as if the knighthood is already Chinese cabbage, although not far from each other.


    As soon as the game with Slovakia ended, Aldridge led his team to the plane and returned to London. The English national team already had some arrogance. It felt that it was not worth mentioning the victory over Slovakia. Many players calmed down and rested directly on the plane.


    Aldridge also put on blindfolds and planned to use his sleep to interrupt the flight, but Stella Maggioni disturbed Aldridge.


    "Aldrich, I have some questions about managing the team and I want to ask you, I hope it won¡¯t bother you."


    Aldridge took off his blindfold and turned his head to look at Stella Maggioni who came to sit next to him, and said with a smile: "You put away your notebook, don''t be so serious on this plane, just chat and chat, we will work together in the future It¡¯s still a long time, and I¡¯m sure that one day there is nothing more worthy of your serious consultation, so let¡¯s just talk, I know everything.¡±


    Stramaggioni really put away the notebook and hadn''t met Aldridge for a long time, but he had a deeper understanding of him. Anyway, in the view of Stramaggioni, he didn''t feel close to Aldrich When it comes to the kind of arrogance and publicity that the outside world preaches, on the contrary, Aldridge is approachable and never teaches people. Although sometimes speaking will be funny, but never difficult.


    He can feel that he cherishes the opportunity to work with Aldridge, and Aldridge also cherishes every friend around him.


    Stramaggioni must have the ambition to become a club coach in the future. The reason why he is so puzzled is that when everyone is resting, he comes to disturb Audridge, because he knows the job of the national team, Audrey Qi will only work for another two years, and he hopes to use this two years to learn as much as possible from this young handsome.


    Aldridge really knows everything, but Vanstra Maggioni has doubts and he gives his personal opinions and opinions as much as possible.


    It was not until the plane landed in London that Stella Maggioni realized that this was not a short return journey. The young commander was not impatient at all and made him grateful.


    Aldridge returned to London for a day off. He happily returned home to reunite with his family, and then re-entered the national team training the next day.


    In this wave of FIFA matches, England had two matches, the first was playing Slovakia away, and the second was against Macedonia in London.


    Macedonia joined FIFA only eight years ago and belongs to the former Yugoslav family. Today, football is second-class and third-class in Europe.


    In this European Cup qualifier, England''s home stadium was chosen at the Lion King Stadium in East London.


    When Aldridge walked into the Lion King Stadium familiarly, he saw the weird welcome sign on the South Stand.


    "Sir Hall, welcome home!"


    Fans are not crazy in the bleached stands, but rather have a warm smile in their calm.


    It was cold, Aldridge, wearing a slim coat, put his hands in his shirt pocket and walked to the home team coach seat. Somehow, standing in front of the home team coach seat, he was in a trance, as if he had returned to the days of leading Millwall.


    I am afraid that countless fans in the stands feel the same way.


    Fans in the nearby stands no longer have a crazy pursuit of Aldridge, but now it is more like a friend''s greeting and encouragement, especially today, it seems that many people want to give him a high five.


    It seems that fans are not used to the Aldridge sitting high in the chairman''s box.


    Aldridge, who stood on the sidelines, made everyone look comfortable and felt that everything should be the case.


    When the players from both sides walked into the court, Aldridge found that the stadium became slightly calm.


    The stadium, which is full of seats, can accommodate 60,000 people, but it does not feel the horrible atmosphere of the home court.


    Aldridge thinks this is bad!


    Macedonia is a guest from afar, how can it not be a warm welcome as a host?


    When Irving stepped on the ball in the middle circle and waited for the referee to blow after the game whistle, the scene suddenly rose.


    I saw Aldridge standing on the side of the field, raising his arms as if with infinite magic. The slim coat was slightly open, and the evil smile at the corner of his mouth made him look like a modern wizard.


    Arms up, down, up, down.


    Just after two passes.


    In the calm stadium, it seems that a storm is brewing, and the low voice is gradually amplified, which is the fans in the stands.


    The moment the referee blew his whistle and Owen kicked the ball to Alan Smith, the Lion King Stadium burst into a loud noise as if to break through the sky.


    Just as this stadium is about to explode, boom, and echoes endure for a long time, and Audridge, like a king here, dominates everything!


    No one doubts that Aldridge is the deity of the Lion King Stadium!


    It¡¯s not just Macedonian players who are so shocked. They can¡¯t imagine the stadium that was still calm as usual at the moment, and it became very hot in the blink of an eye. The fans in the stands are crazy like demons. Swallow raw!


    Even the England players were a little caught off guard and almost fell off, thinking that there was a riot on the court!


    On the sidelines, Aldridge lowered his arms and smiled intoxicated.


    The initial quietness of the fans can be understood. Macedonia is not influential, and it can''t be exciting, but since Aldridge needs the atmosphere of the stadium and the strength of the fans, how can they be stingy?


    On this day, England slaughtered Macedonia at the Lion King Stadium 7:0, Owen and Scholes staged a hat trick at the same time, Alan Smith icing on the cake.


    The next day, after winning the World Cup, photos of Aldridge mobilizing the atmosphere on the sidelines made him once again the headline protagonist of the major media on Fleet Street!

 Chapter 904： Contrast

    In the two European Cup qualifiers, England bluntly scored 11 goals, one goal without losing, the scene dominated, domineering, especially the seemingly crazy and chaotic team running, but always burst into infinite kills , And eventually tortured his opponent to death.


    England led by Aldridge has a new look after the World Cup. Compared with the past, most of the time the team stayed in the backcourt and defended statically, waiting for the opponent to attack and then made a stop. Now England is extremely aggressive in attitude, so strong reversal, making England fans Happy and surprised.


    Because England looks more fierce and passionate than the previous two years!


    Even if you don''t feel the slightest artistic breath, it is this rude and brutal courage that sparked the original power spark, which is most suitable for the fans of England!


    After the game, Beckham smiled charmingly in an interview after the game. When asked by reporters about the state of the national team after the World Cup, he smiled and said: "Everything is perfect. We left Hall with all sincerity after the World Cup. Sir, this is definitely the most correct decision. Although our opponents are not strong in these two games, we can feel that England is becoming stronger than in the past."


    "As the deputy captain of the England team, if you can decide, how long do you want Sir Hall to coach England?"


    "Oh, fifty years, haha, that is definitely impossible, but I hope he can continue to coach the Three Lions before I bid farewell to the national team. He is the best coach in England and can lead England to create a Bimirwall A more glorious era."


    "Between Sir Hall and Sir Alex Ferguson, who do you think is better?"


    Beckham liked this reporter quite a bit. He suddenly heard this question, and immediately became dissatisfied with the reporter. The smile disappeared and shook his head: "You are too polite to ask, I am not qualified to evaluate the two great coaches. Goodbye. "


    ...


    The two vegetable abuse games are not very convincing, but it is a necessary process for the new phase of England''s hone and growth. Compared with climbing from the bottom of the ladder of the World Preliminaries two years ago, there is less pressure on the record. With more mental pressure from outside concerns, Aldridge feels that life is still easier, than at any time in the past eight years.


    Because all official games in England are over this year, as long as a friendly is played next month, the European Cup qualifier will not be rekindled until next spring.


    And this month he will also end the internal teaching at the Millwall training base. The life plan at the end of the year is to concentrate on staying in the family life circle.


    In addition to praising the national team¡¯s battle report on Fleet Street, rational ball critics have also fiercely debated the changes in England¡¯s skills and tactics. Some people think that it is too risky, and some people think that the young master should take the initiative to change.


    At the very least, Aldridge¡¯s national team slaughtered the underdogs and won without difficulty, which has led to another problem: if Aldridge is still in Millwall, now Millwall¡¯s league points, and the situation of the Champions League group What is it like?


    ...


    Henry was injured. It seems that Klinsmann only sent Alonso to the field, then pushed Lampard to the front waist, and Ronaldinho returned to the left wing position. In fact, it was a change in the team¡¯s technical and tactical system. Significant changes.


    In the tenth round of the league, Millwall defeated the black cat Sunderland with a convincing 3:0.


    After ten rounds, Millwall won 6 games, 3 draws and 1 loss, only 2 points away from the top Arsenal!


    Arsenal''s unbeaten record in the second half of last season and this season''s fantasy start ended at Goodison Park.


    This Arsenal defeat was described by Fleet Street as: a sniping mad lion.


    Because the key player to end this wave of undefeated Arsenal, it was the English new golden boy who was loaned to Everton by Millwall: Wayne Rooney.


    At this time, it is not so ugly to look at Millwall''s league record. As long as it is not measured by the undefeated championship standard in the past, Millwall is still a hot topic for the championship group this season.


    But in the Champions League in the middle of the week, Millwall staged a surprise story.


    3: 2!


    "Defending champion Millwall defeats Camp Nou! The unbeaten record of the UEFA Champions League is over!"


    "With 2 points in 3 games, Millwall''s hopes of reaching the top 16 are getting slimmer!"


    The problem is still the old one.


    Just after the FIFA match day, the weekend league became the main force, and the UEFA Champions League will be played in the middle of the week. Or away, Millwall¡¯s players were completely out of control by the speed of Barcelona at the Camp Nou, from leading to being reversed, and then equalized After the score was scored, Millwall only played a good 30 minutes, and then the game was developing in a crazy and unpredictable direction.


    It is an indisputable fact that Millwall¡¯s dominance has declined.


    Alonso could not replace Pirlo, Lampard could not match Nedved, Klose had not reached the level of Henry, not to mention the midfielder and the lower back and defender, Millwall even used the past The king-level operating system is advancing, but the decline in hard power is particularly evident in high-level confrontation.


    However, Klinsmann was at least no longer confused about how the team should operate, and Larson, who performed extremely badly at the Camp Nou in the middle of the week, began to be abandoned by Klinsmann. Under the dual influence of the FIFA World Cup syndrome and FIFA virus, it is normal for the state to have a decline. In addition, Millwall has a dense schedule and the body is unable to bear the load. It is naturally impossible to maintain a high level of performance.


    Klinsmann waited for Henry to come back. Before Henry came back, he chose to trust Ronaldo, the talented young man with strong energy and fighting desire.


    New defeat in the Champions League in the middle of the week, the League of Legends at home against Everton on the weekend, but Millwall played a game with a shadow of 80% of the past. The 2:0 soldiers won Everton without a **** edge and lost to Blackburn at Arsenal. After two consecutive losing streak, he reached the top of the standings!


    "Alonso is the button for Millwall to return to the top!"


    When Alonso came up with a 93% pass success rate, 9 threatened passes, and 1 assist data, David Miller made no secret of his appreciation for him, thinking that in the post-Pirlo era, he can serve The character who organized the midfielder was none other than Alonso, but by no means Kramsman chose Lampard in the beginning.


    The new season, which began in mid-August, quietly arrived in November. Unconsciously, the new season has begun for two and a half months.


    Millwall returned to the top of the standings, but the UEFA Champions League group stage fell into a situation of survival.


    When Klinsmann needed the team''s ambition to break through from the Champions League death group, Millwall''s locker room was undercurrent.


    In order to prepare for the life-and-death battle with Barcelona in early November, Klinsmann sent a young squad in the League Cup and still passed easily, and then visited Anfield, Klinsman still sent a young squad, hoping to give the Champions League three days later Retaining more strength, as a result, Millwall was defeated by Owen at Anfield and regretted defeat. Arsenal temporarily took the top position.


    When it came to the match day of the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, the Lion King Stadium was overwhelmed. All fans of the Lions knew that if this game could not win Barcelona, ??Millwall would miss the top 16 with a high probability. In addition, the opponent is Barcelona, ??the game is attractive enough.


    Aldridge sat in the box waiting for the game to start.


    Earl asked him curiously: "Dad, why is Barcelona so low in the league, but higher than Millwall in the Champions League?"


    Aldrich thought for a long time and did not know how to explain this common situation.


    Because football itself is irregular.


    Van Gaal entered Barcelona for the second time in the summer. Rivaldo canceled the contract in advance and left. Riquelme, who was introduced by Barcelona, ??was directly ignored by Van Gaal. Barcelona had a bad start in La Liga and a hard win.


    If you don¡¯t look at the Champions League and only compare the league, Millwall¡¯s record is a few streets behind Barcelona, ??but Klinsmann¡¯s public pressure is much higher than Van Gaal. This is both normal and weird. Media energy is at work.


    However, Barcelona''s performance in the Champions League is very different from the league. In the first three rounds, they won 2 wins, 1 draw, wins Lance, draws AC Milan, and wins Millwall. How could his mother be a team in the league? What is the record of a team with a bad performance?


    Millwall''s technical and tactical system in this game has not changed, Klinsmann looked seriously at the sidelines, and Van Gaal sat on the coach seat calmly.


    When Ronaldo broke through the bottom five minutes after the start of the game, and assisted Klose to open the first record, the whole Lion King stadium was boiling!


    Van Gaal''s face was ugly, and he was surprised by the fast-moving Portuguese kid who didn''t expect Millwall to send Cristiano Ronaldo, or that Cristiano Ronaldo should have no threat from his age. Barcelona players also despised, but gave Ronaldo space to play.


    Klinsmann''s face flushed with excitement, he was under great pressure to reuse Ronaldo, and now Ronaldo can return to him with good performance, it can also relieve the pressure on his shoulders.


    In the last game at Camp Nou, Millwall was in poor condition, but today at Lion King Stadium, most of the main players took a rest for nearly 10 days, and there were advantages at home, plus Alonso¡¯s stable performance in the midfield organization. Millwall''s entire offensive and defensive system is running smoothly, keeping the game in a fast pace, repeatedly hitting Barcelona''s defense line, and eventually destroying it completely.


    In the 31st minute, Ronaldinho alone attracted three opponents on the left and passed the ball to the rear point. Unattended Cristiano Ronaldo pushed the half-air goal to expand the score to 2:0.


    Before the end of the first half, Millwall cornered the attack, Ronaldinho directly drove the ball to the top of the arc of the penalty area, which made the Barcelona defense unprepared, and a beautiful volley volley was played in the outer Lampard. The world wave shocked the eyeball. , Millwall led Barcelona 3:0 in the first half!


    The fans of the home team of Lion King Stadium raised their eyebrows, feeling that the team played well today, and their opponents have no power to parry.


    In the second half, Barcelona intended to counterattack the main goal, but unexpectedly, Millwall counterattacked at the beginning of the game and went to the next city. Ronaldinho scored this time.


    With four goals in hand and Millwall winning the ticket, Klinsmann finally took a breath and let the team slow down the rhythm, saving energy.


    Barcelona scored only one goal in the final stage and could not save the fiasco.


    "The defending champion Millwall finally ushered in a victory in the UEFA Champions League group stage. They defeated Barcelona 4 to 1. However, unfortunately, after the fourth game, AC Milan won the first place in the group with 8 points. 7 points ranked second in the group, Millwall four wins, 1 win, 2 draws, 1 loss, 5 points ranked third in the group, the next round at home against Lance is still a life and death battle, when AC Milan will start with Barcelona Fighting, Millwall wants to break through from this group, they must win Lance in the next game, and in the final round, they will be going to San Siro to challenge AC Milan!"


    At the end of the game, Aldridge applauded the team like all home team fans.


    Today''s game is more convincing. As long as Millwall''s team has no physical problems and the offensive and defensive system is running smoothly, with the strength of this group of players, it can still be maintained at the height that a giant should deserve.

 Chapter 905： Chaos caused by excess resources

    After leading the national team to defeat the visiting Japanese team 3-1 at Old Trafford in November, Aldridge entered a simple life rhythm.


    Ewen was on the verge, Aldridge, a good man at home, was very competent and was always waiting by his side.


    The Premier League is about to enter the Christmas Express schedule. Millwall''s performance in the league is okay. He has stabilized the top three, but it feels like there is a lack of stability in the past. After all, he is distracted in the European War. The Champions League group stage defeated Lang in the fifth round. Afterwards, Millwall''s ranking overtakes Barcelona, ??because Barcelona and AC Milan ended in a draw. In this way, AC Milan still ranked first with 9 points, Barcelona and Millwall have 8 points together, and Millwall has a record of battle. Dominate the ranking.


    This is the case in the group stage, leaving behind in the front, and life and death in the back field.


    Calculating Millwall is just that the first game was not played well, and he lost 2 points on Lance, resulting in the last three games all turned into a life-and-death battle.


    The first two games defeated Barcelona and Lance, the last game was to be a guest of San Siro, and another life-and-death battle. AC Milan can be unbeaten and qualify. Although Barcelona ranks third, but as long as they beat Lance in the final round, they can also Advance to the top 16.


    At the beginning of December, Aldridge accompanied Ewen into the hospital, and the expected date of delivery was within two days.


    Another important moment in Aldridge¡¯s life was born on December 9th. When he embraced his newly born daughter, he felt that this moment was more exciting and joy than any World Cup championship.


    Probably the prenatal care was very good. Ewen didn¡¯t look particularly haggard and weak after giving birth. The photos of her kissing the baby¡¯s face with Aldrich were full of happiness.


    "Little Bonnie is born!"


    It¡¯s rare in London these two days that the weather is good. In the winter, the sun shines warmly on people. Aldridge gently pushes the cradle back and forth in the bedroom, looking at the big slap face, he can¡¯t help but smile all the time in his mouth, according to Wen sat across from the cradle, with a face of love, as if she really had a three-dimensional maternal glory.


    "Bonnie, what will it look like when you grow up?"


    "Oh, her mother is a beauty, and she must be a beauty in the future."


    Yiwen raised his head to look directly at Aldridge and asked, "Then you said, will she be beautiful in the future, or will I be beautiful?"


    Aldridge said without hesitation: "Of course you are still pretty."


    Yiwen smiled disapprovingly, got up and went out, intending to go downstairs to get some food back. As she left the bedroom, Aldridge lowered her head and said softly to the sleeping baby in the cradle: "The future will definitely be your most beautiful."


    "Aldrich, I heard it."


    Aldridge looked up and saw in amazement that Yi Wen came in from the bedroom door with a smile.


    ...


    Compared to the sun shining in London in winter, the city of Milan, Italy, is covered with clouds and rain.


    At the beginning of the month, Millwall, who just took the Toyota Cup in Japan, challenged AC Milan away. The game reached 88 minutes. Pirlo took a long shot from the outside of the penalty area and Shevchenko returned the ball. The earth hit the wet turf on rainy days. There was an acceleration, directly into the corner of Millwall''s door.


    Pirlo''s blow before the end of the game seemed to pierce the poisonous dagger into the heart of the mad lion!


    The atmosphere in the San Siro stands was overwhelming, and all Milan fans cheered wildly for Pirlo.


    But Pirlo dragged his head and walked slowly towards the backcourt. There were teammates around him to celebrate. He gently pushed his teammates away and continued to walk towards the backcourt.


    "Pirlo saved AC Milan! 1:1, 1:1, Klinsmann paid for his conservatism! After a goal lead, Klinsmann only wanted to defend 1:0 until the end of the game, but AC Milan did not let him succeed! The score of 1:1 makes AC Milan advance to the top 16, and Millwall will bid farewell to the Champions League this season! In another game Barcelona has already led Rons 3:0, if this game is At the end of the draw, Barcelona will advance to the top 16 in the group''s first place. The death group will reach the last round. At the last moment, the suspense still exists, but Barcelona has landed in advance!"


    In the cold weather, Klinsmann, who was soaked in water, could only order the team to pray for the birth of a miracle at the last moment.


    Unfortunately, the miracle did not come.


    When Millwall first scored a goal in the 53rd minute to break the deadlock on the field, Klinsmann chose to retreat between advance and retreat, this retreat, Millwall no longer has the energy to counterattack.


    If you can hold on for another 5 minutes, Klinsmann will get the result he wants, and Millwall will also make it to the top 16 in the Champions League.


    However, it turned into a mad lion struggling weakly in San Siro.


    Ancelotti wiped off the rain on his face and gave a roar when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the match!


    AC Milan beat defending champion Millwall from the death group into the finalists!


    The crazy lions will collapse on the court, and even the players on the bench will look dull.


    For the first time since 1997, Millwall missed the Champions League round of 16 for the first time, the worst record in the Champions League is the Champions League semi-finals!


    This time, as the defending champion, the group stage was eliminated and forced to move to the Europa League.


    Thousands of mad lion fans coming from afar are also stupefied in the stands.


    In the death group, Millwall''s record against direct competitors is not bad.


    One win and one loss with Barcelona, ??the total score of the match is better than the opponent.


    They evened with AC Milan in two games, and the number of goals scored away was not as good as their opponents.


    The real factor that really knocked them out is the first 2 points lost in France by Lance!


    But such a reason can not convince fans of crazy lions, for them, no one will calculate such gains and losses.


    Mad lion, lost the momentum of the king!


    The most unacceptable thing for fans at the scene was Klinsmann''s conservatism, who only wanted to hold the utility of the draw after the lead.


    As a result, some crazy lion fans booed, and some people echoed, the crazy lion fan group began to disagree on whether to support Klinsmann''s position.


    The new season is about to pass halfway through. Before that, no matter how dangerously Fleet Street is to listen to Klinsmann¡¯s unstable position, the fans of the Lions have always ignored the voice of the media and expressed firm support for Klinsmann.


    But after the results of the UEFA Champions League group stage failed to qualify, the group of fans against Klinsmann began to appear and gradually grew!


    ...


    For the first time, Aldridge comforted his children at home.


    Burt and Earl were sullenly sitting on the sofa. Millwall failed to reach the top 16 of the Champions League, making the two little guys feel down.


    They asked Aldrich many questions.


    "Why didn''t the crazy lion advance?"


    If Millwall is not in the death group, even in any other group, even if the defending champion does not perform well, he will definitely be able to reach the top 16. It is nothing more than the difference between the first and second. AC Milan teamed up to eliminate.


    "Does Klinsmann leave?"


    If the dismissal of Klinsmann can make the team advance to the Champions League, Aldridge will dismiss Klinsmann, but the fact is that the fate of the crazy lion in the European War cannot be changed.


    "Dad, if you were still the head coach, would this be the case with Mad Lion?"


    Aldridge was silent.


    Confident, of course he has.


    But if he is still on the team, how can he split up and spend a wonderful and happy time with the children? How to take good care of your own woman? How to enjoy the joy of daughter''s birth from start to finish?


    On this day, Aldridge¡¯s e-mail was full of emails from fans of Aladdin Lions. Aldrich did not go to the content and closed the email account directly.


    The next day, as the Millwall team returned to London, another piece of news was on the scene.


    "Milwall players strike!"


    "C?te d''Ivoire striker: I don''t see the future here!"


    The alarmism on Fleet Street is inertial. In fact, Millwall did have players who had protested.


    But just a player.


    Drogba.


    The C?te d¡¯Ivoire striker, who is 24 years old and 25 years old in four months. After returning to Millwall in the new season, he sat on the cold bench for nearly half of the season. The only appearance was the one that Millwall lost to Liverpool. In the league, the performance was rated as one of the worst in the game.


    At the beginning of the season, Henry and Klose took control of the main force. When Henry was injured, Drogba once thought that he had hope for the position. However, after Anfield, he was abandoned. From a technical point of view, he stood alone. However, Millwall is mainly active offensive and needs the ability to respond to the striker. Drogba''s team is slightly worse, which is related to his lack of understanding with his teammates. This requires time and competition to cultivate. Unfortunately, in the giants, the time is Everyone is scarce. After Henry came back, Mo said that Drogba and even Larson had no chance to play. Drogba was despondent and wanted to leave. It wasn¡¯t that he was fooling around. .


    Klinsmann responded to the crisis that broke out in the team by first delegating Drogba to the reserve team, and then Drogba took the initiative to submit a transfer application.


    At the same time, the Christmas Express schedule arrived.


    The God of War Nedved announced his comeback after six months of serious injury!


    Therefore, Klinsmann faced a new problem, Nedved''s position in the team.


    Klinsmann chose to remove Pedroetti from the midfield and used Nedved and Alonso to play the double centre-back. Ideally, both can attack and defend, and provide a stronger midfield support for the attack.


    But in the early days of practice, Millwall''s Christmas schedule was unbearable. After the Champions League out of the Champions League, the morale of the military fell to the bottom. All the games left this month, without a win, the League Cup also stopped in the top 8.


    When the transfer window opened in January, another player from Millwall also submitted a transfer application.


    Essien at the back of the post.


    This African player who had been loaned out despite his ownership in the past did not have much sense of belonging to Millwall, and under Klinsmann, when he had a lower back, he could still play with DeRo West, Pedretti competed, and after Nedved returned, he and Drogba made the same voice: here, we can''t see the future.


    Stepping into the first day of 2003, Klinsmann went to visit Aldridge. He was ashamed, but Aldridge welcomed each other warmly.


    The two discussed in the study room for a long time. Klinsmann needed to stabilize the locker room in the second half of the season, so he needed to deal with Drogba and Essien.


    Aldrich agreed with his proposal and directly asked the club to sell the two of them.


    In Aldrich''s view, this situation cannot be avoided today.


    If Millwall faced a shortage of resources five years ago and was robbed of its main force and faced a crisis of turbulence, then Millwall now faces a crisis of internal chaos due to excess resources.


    Why is there such a situation?


    On the one hand, Aldrich''s precautionary work for geniuses resulted.


    On the other hand, "poor" is afraid.


    In the past, I was worried, and I was afraid that the team would be robbed of its reputation, so the foundation of the team might be shaken, and be more prepared. There is nothing wrong with it.


    Now Millwall owns Henry, Klose, Drogba, and 22-year-old Villa.


    Can''t expect these forwards to share the average playing time, even if it is a giant, at most two of them compete with each other!


    At this point in time, in 2003, Millwall had a 25-year-old Henry, so he could ignore any other forwards of his generation.


    So, Drogba can let him go.


    The same is true in the lower back position. There are De Rossi and Pedretti, the latter may not have the potential to be comparable to the world-class, but De Rossi and Essin can still compete, although everyone has different advantages and disadvantages, De Rossi It is a person of Milwall youth training orthodox origin. Furthermore, African players have a "hard wound": the African Cup.


    The African Cup is held during the European season. Once African players are called, the impact on European clubs is very obvious, especially the main force of the giants.


    Considering various factors, Aldridge agreed to let the two go, and at the same time issued a signal to the outside world: Millwall''s management firmly supported Klinsmann.

 Chapter 906： Flying Boot Door

    After many years in European football, Aldridge didn''t dare to say that Tao Li Man Tian is all over the world, but many friends are a fact.


    After Drogba and Essien were listed at the same time, the purchase of the Premier League team was directly rejected by Aldridge. He wanted to sell the two to foreign leagues.


    The head coach of the Paris Saint-Germain club in France flew to London personally during the winter break, and came to see Audridge. He and Aldridge are also old acquaintances, and they entered the palace Saint-Germain''s Fernandez.


    Aldridge warmly entertained the old friend. The other party did not make a sloppy eye with Aldridge and directly reported the final offer of Paris Saint-Germain.


    20 million pounds for two people.


    Drogba''s current value may not even be worth 10 million pounds, and Essien may not even be worth 5 million pounds.


    They are very valuable and will be very valuable in the future.


    But without giving them a stage to display their talents and shine, how could it be possible to sell sky-high prices directly?


    Aldrich did not bargain with Fernandes, and directly agreed to the ¡ê20 million package request for the two, but just added an additional contract clause: the next sale of 30% of the players, plus the Paris Saint-Germain Club promised that if the two were sold, they would never They sold to the club of the Premier League, if Paris Saint-Germain violated this agreement, the sale was divided into 50% to Millwall.


    Now Paris Saint-Germain¡¯s backstage consortium is CANAL+. It was a huge investment in Prince Park Stadium a few years ago, but it was unable to make ends meet. It has been losing money for years. Last summer, in order to make up for the fiscal deficit, it sold a lot of generals in the team. Fernandes, who had a hard time cooking nothing, was unable to return to the sky. In the Paris Saint-Germain League, he struggled. In the winter break, in order to save the defeat, Fernandes was actually desperate with a 20 million pounds. Finally, because of this, Aldridge It doesn¡¯t make sense to not talk to each other. No other club will bid higher than Paris Saint-Germain in winter.


    Millwall officially announced the transfer of the two players and the club firmly maintained Klinsmann¡¯s authority through this sale.


    From January, the Millwall locker room became calm, but the calm was a little weird. It seemed that it was about to become a pool of backwaters.


    ...


    Three months have passed.


    At the end of March, Aldridge led the England team as a guest in Liechtenstein. The European war was in full swing. The league championship reached the final sprint stage. In this fishy game, Aldridge sent many young faces and still scored 5:0. Blood washing away from Liechtenstein.


    After returning to London four days later, the main team of England will be defeated in Turkey, the score of 3:1 is not perfect, but it marks that Aldridge has created a new national team has been small and effective, the team offensive and defensive system on the field The operation becomes smoother and easier.


    After the game, before the national team disbanded, Beckham found Aldridge alone.


    This time at the St. James Park Stadium, Aldridge and Beckham were in the meeting room of the Newcastle United Club.


    At the end of the game, the England team was already in a state of semi-dissolution. Later players interviewed, cleaned the jerseys in the locker room, took a shower, said something different between teammates, and then rushed back to the club.


    Beckham apparently did not take a shower, but changed to a clean short-sleeved shirt with a T-shirt with the England national team logo.


    He sat quietly in the conference room, his shoes were muddy, and his socks were black. That was the imprint left on the field. His hair was messy. The whole person was sitting there in a daze, looking blank and depressed. Even if he just sent two assists in the game and enjoyed the cheers from England fans, but his mind has now flown to another world, if you want to find the traces of that world from his face, then it is the brow A scar that is not so obvious at the bone can provide insight.


    After being interviewed after the game, Aldridge was informed by Jenson that Beckham wanted to talk to him separately.


    Arriving in the conference room, Aldridge found that Beckham was still in a state of distraction. He walked over and reached down gently on Beckham''s shoulder and asked with concern: "David, what happened? Unwell?"


    He thought that Beckham might have come to meet him alone because of a sudden physical condition. After all, Beckham was the most famous star in England. If he missed, it would be no exaggeration to say that it would affect the nerves of England.


    Beckham recovered, barely squeezed out a smile and shook his head, saying, "I''m just a little personal, I want to hear your opinion."


    His state obviously represents "condition", Aldridge was confused, but still took a chair beside Beckham and sat down, said: "Okay, if you have anything to talk about, I will listen to it and say, What kind of confusion did you encounter?"


    Working in the national team these years, Aldridge and Beckham have a good relationship. Naturally, personal relationships are not as good as their best friends, but at least they will be a little closer than friends.


    Beckham pointed to his brow bone and said abruptly: "I don''t think I can stay at Manchester United anymore."


    Aldridge, who was listening to Xiaoben''s voice from a friend''s standpoint, felt a big head.


    Almost two months ago, the "flying boot door" incident broke out in the Manchester United locker room. Ferguson and Beckham, who were sympathetic to their father and son, officially broke up!


    Every family has a hard-to-read experience. Aldrich thought he had more skills to manage the locker room. In fact, for the past six months, he did not intervene in the management of the Millwall locker room as a chairman. It¡¯s not that they have much ability, but that they have too much power!


    Because of his great power, he can do whatever he wants, reward anyone who wants to reward, and let the other party get out if he doesn''t like it.


    For those coaches, there are too many factors to worry about, balance relations, record pressure, Ren Xian''s selection, etc., which are beyond the scope of Audric''s "taken for granted".


    Aldrich solemnly said: "David, I am also the head coach, standing in my position, if I have no expectations of a player, no requirements for him, I will not talk to him, not waste Time to communicate with him, not to be angry because of him. What Alex thinks of you, you know in his heart that he is not perfect, no one will be perfect, but the requirements of you in his heart are perfect, purely in the field of competition , I hope you, David Beckham, are perfect! It can become both the banner of Manchester United and the role model that Manchester United¡¯s current generation, next generation, and countless players in the future will have. Manchester United once had an early death The geniuses of Duncan Edwards, Alex just hope you, Ryan, Paul, Gary, etc. players with Manchester United blood on them can become the modern version of Edwards, don¡¯t have Edward¡¯s regret, no, to Edwards The genius who was still thinking about the game before his death was a pity for him. If you have abandoned your talent, it is not a pity. In the eyes of the head coach, it is a sin."


    Beckham bent down, hugged his head in his hands, and said in a low voice: "I feel like I''m going crazy. I''ve been torn between my family and my career for the past four years. The whole person is about to split. Coach, you say you stand on the Lord The position of the coach, but if you stand in my position? Not to say that those who are right and who are arguing wrongly, he hurt me. If it is not luck, the spike may pierce my eyes! And he, in At the press conference, he played down the incident with a joke. He didn''t even apologize to me. He regarded it as a war, a war of authority of the head coach, but I just want to be respected and get an apology. ..."


    Aldrich stretched his hand over Beckham¡¯s shoulder and watched Beckham grasping his head with his fingers, which was both painful and struggling.


    Suddenly, Aldridge realized that the fanatic might not live as chic as the spotlight.


    For four years, since the marriage to Victoria in the summer of 1999, part of his life has been the history of the struggle between football and star career, wife and teacher.


    From the honeymoon trip in the summer of 1999, Ferguson forcibly recalled the club to interrupt the sweetness of the newlywed Yaner, and then was punished by Ferguson for commercial activities, and was absent from training because he took care of sick Brooklyn. When he returned home, Victoria saw his wound and called Ferguson directly: "You come out, we two solve the problem!"


    The old man from Scotland didn''t come out with the hot girl to solve the problem, but the two of them, who were sympathetic to their father and son, had reached an inflection point of their relationship.


    It¡¯s hard for the officials to break the housework. If Aldridge does this kind of thing, if he is Ferguson, he doesn¡¯t know how to do it. At this point, because he does not allow sand in his eyes, he quickly cuts through the mess, preventing the subsequent development of such incidents early.


    "David, you have your thoughts and feelings. You are the client. I can''t fully understand you. I can only say objectively that Alex does not ask you too much."


    Beckham raised his head and asked incredulously: "Not too much?"


    "Will Alex ask Sharp to become a world superstar? No, he cleaned up Sharp. But why has he been asking you like this, asking you like that, have you thought about the reason? Of course, you can say he has a desire to control, But in my opinion, his request is not excessive, because what he asks for is that if you work hard wholeheartedly, put all your energy on football, do not go to commercial performances, and have an ordinary family like everyone else, take all your thoughts Putting it on football, how high will your achievement be? Where is the height you can reach? And the pinnacle is that Alex keeps lashing you, and finally makes you feel humiliated and not respected, Ah Alex may be more angry than you in his heart and more unreasonable than you, because in his eyes, you have failed all his expectations of you!"


    Beckham stared at Aldridge with wide eyes, and said nothing for a long time.


    Although Ferguson was judged by the outside world as a bad temper, isn''t the hair dryer in the locker room a microcosm?


    But if a coach is just a violent temper, what can he accomplish?


    If Ferguson is aimed at Beckham from beginning to end, how can Beckham become the Red Devil Legend 7?


    Think about Beckham, who had become a public enemy of Britain, who stood up to defend him?


    I loved him and protected him because he was immature and he was young and needed protection.


    He is now blaming him and demanding him because he was supposed to be on his own, and he should have assumed greater responsibility in this team of Manchester United. The big reason for the anger now is that he hates iron.


    Of course, Beckham¡¯s achievements are already very high, but he should have been higher, as if the Chinese team entered the World Cup round of 16, it would be fine, don¡¯t ask for more, but if the Brazil team entered the round of 16, Can you stop without being accused of being in the top 8 or the top 4?


    This kind of truth Beckham should be able to understand, but as he himself said, he felt that he was being torn apart, one side is a teacher, one side is a wife, one side is football, one side is fame and fortune, especially football and fame, sometimes complement each other Sometimes, it is extremely opposite.

 Chapter 907： Father and son

    Everyone''s brilliant definition of the green world is different.


    Beckham looked up blindly at the ceiling. In the football world, he walked into a trough. The red card in 1998 almost destroyed his entire life. He also climbed to the peak of incomparable glory, league champion, and Champions League champion. , World Cup champion!


    For him, a superstar who is not entirely in the football world, it is because the factors for achieving him are too complicated, rather than just the word football, there are too many external forces tearing him, affecting him, making him fundamental It is impossible to completely belong to one of them.


    Can he give up football?


    Impossible, leaving football, he is nothing!


    But can he fully engage in football?


    Yes, then his football achievements will be more brilliant, but relatively, his personal fame and fortune will be greatly reduced.


    Can you imagine how popular a Beckham, who does not appear in commercial activities, has a little exposure like Scholes with little exposure outside football?


    At least certainly not as bright as Beckham.


    Aldridge stared at Beckham, who looked empty, suddenly realized.


    Beckham is not here to solicit his opinions or views.


    Aldrich¡¯s relationship with him is okay, but neither his agent¡¯s staff nor the closest person around him. Counting is just one of the bosses in his career. In the professional field, he can give reasonable suggestions. But to say that such a major decision affects his career, why does Aldridge influence Beckham?


    Aldridge realized.


    Beckham¡¯s conversation with him today may just be an emotionally necessary ladder, hoping that Audridge will say something that will make him determined.


    After all, according to Aldrich¡¯s position, of course I hope Beckham will leave Manchester United. In this way, the strength of the competitors in the Millwall League will be greatly reduced, and even the overall commercial value of Manchester United will decline.


    Aldridge had a little villain''s heart and laughed at himself.


    If it was what he thought, he suddenly found this conversation extremely ridiculous. He and Beckham were open and honest, and they wholeheartedly persuaded and persuaded each other. It was indeed sincere, and he could put aside the club¡¯s position and consider his personal football career. But Beckham does not seem to have such a purpose.


    However, Aldridge was still wrong.


    Beckham did hope to get some support from Aldridge, but the reason is not the competitive relationship between Millwall and Manchester United.


    "Coach, you said that I played football with all my heart and all my energy. I will become a great monument to the Red Devils, but I want to ask you a question, I am about 28 years old, the age of football players at their peak, but I I plan to think more about my family and pay more attention to what my family wants from me. And you? If I remember correctly, in May, I am 28 years old and you are 27 years old. Why haven¡¯t you stayed at Millwall as the head coach? You Wouldn¡¯t it be more brilliant if you stay in Millwall? But why did you decide to leave last summer?"


    When Beckham finished speaking in a calm tone, Aldridge was dumbfounded.


    Yes.


    Everyone will say **** it!


    You can put it on yourself, why is the standard always different?


    Others hope, others expect, others demand...


    Others always have a lot of truth to apply to you!


    Aldridge suddenly realized that he and Beckham were in a very similar situation.


    And he has taken a step, and in turn, how can he persuade Beckham old-fashioned?


    Ha ha ha...


    Aldridge lowered his head and suddenly laughed, Becky looking up at the ceiling recovered his eyes, and he laughed.


    Beckham''s gaze shifted down, and Audridge''s gaze rose. The two of them faced each other and shook their heads.


    "David, what I said just now should be nonsense. I don¡¯t know what your specific situation is, but since you have to take care of family demands, and your future plans are definitely not just about football, Because football is not all about you, it¡¯s just part of your Beckham, so there¡¯s nothing to be entangled with. Whatever you want to do, just do it. Have you considered the next stop?"


    Beckham put his smile away and solemnly said: "Considered that the next best stop in football today should be Bernabeu."


    Aldridge raised his lips slightly, teasing: "Why not Millwall?"


    Beckham lost a smile and said: "Not to mention how much loss of popularity I would suffer if I joined the England native team, even if Millwall is not an England team, I wonder if Millwall can tolerate my existence? Do you allow commercial superstars in the team? Coaches, people all over the world know that Millwall has only one superstar, that is you, because no matter how famous the other people are, they can¡¯t match your influence.¡±


    Aldrich was uncomfortable with this and sighed: "It is true that according to the development of commercial value, it is most appropriate for you to go to Bernabeu. However, I still have to nag that in Bernabeu, there is no room for your competitive survival. Going there, it represents you. It is impossible to return to the pinnacle of pure competition."


    Beckham nodded, went through hundreds of battles, read thousands of sails, whether a team is suitable for himself, where would he not understand?


    The "best fit" in his mouth is a combination of all factors, not purely due to football competition.


    Aldridge continued: "Your diligence is beyond doubt. I was a monk hitting the clock one day. If you go to Bernabeu this summer, just remember one thing. We will play the European Cup next summer. You must fight for next summer. be prepared."


    "This, please rest assured!"


    Beckham solemnly agreed to come down.


    Afterwards, the two men talked about some short topics among their parents. Both men are people with children, and they also exchange ideas about childcare.


    "I don''t know, the brothers feel a great contrast. Burt doesn''t like talking very much. Sometimes he thinks he has autism, but since I bought the villa next door and transformed a large garden into a small court to play for him, He was a lot more lively, and the tutor he invited urged him to study every day. He couldn¡¯t listen, and he liked to play football with the children in the small court. Earl was much better. He was very learning and interested in all knowledge. But he was always hot for three minutes. Yesterday he said he wanted to learn French, and the day after tomorrow he said he wanted to learn German, learn two sentences and show off in front of the children..."


    "The kids are all like this, they are all interested in it, and the excitement passes by and they ignore it, huh, but Brooklyn still likes to play with Burt."


    When the two English football stars left the St. James Park stadium, they were chattering like a broken housewife.


    ...


    When Aldrich came home, he found that Ewen was cooking in the kitchen. He took off his suit and walked over to chat with her, then went upstairs to see her little girl Bonnie, the little princess was asleep, quietly The sleeping phase is extremely innocent.


    After leaving the bedroom lightly, Aldridge didn''t see Burt and Earle in the house, so he walked towards the back garden.


    At this time in the remodeled small stadium behind the house, Burt sat cross-legged on the turf, covered in dirt, and had just played football with his friends.


    Earl wore casual children''s clothing, holding a lollipop in his hand, with a sense of pointing and looking down at his brother, saying, "Do you know why the guy named Jason is strong?"


    Burt raised his head and asked impatiently: "Why?"


    Jason is two years older than Burt, but the two can''t see a big difference in size. In the past two days, Burt and Jason have been tit-for-tat.


    Earl sucked and sucked saliva, and licked the lollipop again, disdainful: "In fact, it is a point, you stare at the ball before catching it, so when you receive the ball, Jason kicks to grab you, You panic. But what about Jason? He is observing when he catches the ball. When he catches the ball, he thinks about how to deal with the ball. He catches and passes the ball is an action. You can¡¯t grab it. Even if you grab it, He doesn''t pass the ball, but he is also prepared, and he will pass you. So, you lose, you can''t pass him, he can pass you, you can''t pass a good ball, he is accused by his teammates, but he is treated as his brother. "


    Burt thought about it carefully, as if this was the case.


    He looked up again and asked, "Why didn''t you play with us in these two days? With you here, I can definitely win, just like before, I''m defending behind, and you score in front."


    Earl spit out the lollipop in front of Burt and smiled smugly: "I went to shoot an advertisement with my mother. The candy company gave me a lot of lollipops. I keep your share. "


    "Bah, look at your teeth, be careful!"


    "Hah, I can''t be deceived. Hey, I have read the book. At this age, it is normal to lose teeth. It will not be dead, nor will it be so ugly."


    Speaking of which, Earl was even more proud. At the time of the tooth replacement, he was initially panicked, thinking he was going to die, and now he had no worries at all.


    Just as he was proud, Earl suddenly felt a swift footstep behind him, and before he looked back, the whole person was picked up from behind.


    "Hahaha, caught a greedy ghost and still eating sugar? No more! Only one lollipop can be eaten a week later."


    Aldridge lifted Earl high, but Earl shouted: "Let me down, let me down, father, I am not a child anymore, I have grown up."


    Aldrich really put him down, and then gestured his height with his hand, laughing: "Well, is this grown up? It''s a lot different from adults."


    Earl sorted out his clothes like a little adult, and said seriously: "Mum said I am the most sensible child, more sensible than other children, and every time I say that you have grown up."


    "Haha."


    Aldridge sat cross-legged in front of Burt, and his father and son sat face to face. Aldrich touched Burt¡¯s head, saw his frustration at a glance, asked about it, and Burt roughly repeated his conversation with Earl just now. Again.


    Aldrich made a comment and approved Earl''s statement, which made Earl''s chest quite proud.


    After all, it is nothing more than the simplest habit of playing football. Is there only a ball in the eyes?


    "Dad, I want to go to Leo training base for training."


    Burt spoke solemnly to Aldridge.


    "Dad, I want to go to Old Trafford to watch the game. As long as the Mad Lions defeat the Red Devils, they will be able to defend the league successfully!"


    Earl also made a request to Aldridge.


    Facing the requests of two sons, Aldridge chose to agree.

 Chapter 908： grown up

    Four months ago, the poor performance of the Millwall Christmas Express schedule caused the league''s defending champions to drop in succession, once falling out of the top four, top five, and ranking sixth in the league.


    After Drogba and Essien were sold out in the winter transfer window, the interior of Millwall was calm and the team''s reorganization performance stabilized.


    However, this stability is not a vigorous momentum, but a steady rise, without the shadow of the strongest mad lion, the strength has roughly stayed in the top ranks of the Premier League, not a state of detachment and independence.


    At least, the situation on the standings is shown this way.


    Fleet Street is very happy, even Premier League fans are also very happy.


    For a league, suspense is the most important.


    The suspense for the Premier League this season is more intense than in the past few years.


    The top three!


    When there are six rounds left in the league.


    Millwall rushed from the sixth half of the league back to the third place in the league, only 1 point away from the top of the list.


    Manchester United and Arsenal share the same goal, keeping pace with each other, followed by Millwall.


    Both sides of the Millwall domestic cup were declared out. Instead, they were out of the UEFA Champions League group and moved to the UEFA Cup as the third group. The promotion system of the two rounds of the knockout host and guest. Millwall seemed absent-minded and occasionally played a game. A shocking defeat, but he always made it through in the second round, so Millwall''s task this season is only the league championship and the UEFA Cup.


    Although Klinsmann''s coaching in the second half received some praise, after all, he successfully stopped the decline in the Millwall league rankings and rose up to chase back to the championship group. The gap of 1 point can be ignored. , Anyway, just one or two games.


    But there is more and more controversial news surrounding Millwall.


    "Joe Cole is jealous again and fought again!"


    "The FA Cup out night, Lampard, Ashley Cole, Robben Nightclub."


    "Ronaldinho, who lost the Golden Globe, no longer smiles. He is a cancerous tumor in Millwall''s locker room!"


    "Silence Larson received sympathy and support from many Millwall veterans, and Millwall''s locker room was partially cracked!


    "Henry has been privately dissatisfied and has been placed on the sidewalk, complaining: Why should I give the center to Klose?"


    "Kaka''s father threatened that Millwall would no longer give Kaka the main force, and the Brazilian genius would seek a transfer!"


    ...


    April 12.


    Aldrich came to Old Trafford with his two sons, sitting in the VIP box to prepare for the game.


    It¡¯s not uncommon for Fleet Street to hype Millwall¡¯s news, and the words in the newspapers are obviously unbelievable. Moreover, the information channels are always obtained by a ¡°guess¡± or side-track approach, which is unconvincing.


    In the penultimate round of the league, Manchester United faced Millwall at home. The difference between the two teams is one point. There is a high probability that the final suspense of the league champion this season will be determined.


    Because Arsenal and Manchester United still have a league in the back, if Millwall wins this game, then in the next five rounds, Millwall will be able to sit down and watch the tigers, and if Manchester United wins, the final title may be in Manchester United. Started with Arsenal, and after two rounds at the Battle of Uranus in Highbury!


    Manchester United, although Beckham and Ferguson''s relationship fell to the freezing point, but the key battle, Ferguson still sent Beckham.


    On Millwall, Klinsmann stabilized a more gorgeous offensive system in the second half of the season. The performance was okay, and there was indeed potential to be tapped. The double midfielder in the midfield can attack and defend well. With Alonso and Nedvi Germany sat down, attacked the trident and added a Lampard behind it, the large diamond attack group.


    It was just that Klose was placed in the center, and Henry pulled the edge. The fleet rumored that Henry was dissatisfied with playing the winger. It can not be said that it is unreasonable. Henry himself has the ability to play the winger, but he is obviously more qualified than Klose to play the center.


    As for "Ronaldinho who was Aldridge''s brother", which was laughed at before, it now becomes "Klose is Klinsmann''s son".


    Larsson was abandoned because of one or two poor conditions. Ronaldo was still young, and his performance naturally fluctuated. Henry returned to play as a winger, but Klose, whether it is good or bad, is the main center of thunder.


    This game made Aldridge look mad!


    Such a crucial battle, Ronaldinho, Henry, Klose, are not in state!


    Looks positive, but loses all aura, I don¡¯t know whether it is tired or numb, it feels like a routine in the game, and Nedved screams at them, but they add a lot of useless personal bad performance to Manchester United The line of defense is a paper paste, can you break it if you want to punch it?


    Ferguson did not have a full-time defensive midfielder against Millwall, and deliberately changed to attack the middle of the attack. The effect is not obvious, but it seems that it is correct to play this way, because seeing Nesta and Southgate frequently fill in positions, assist defense, By hurriedly destroying the opponent''s attack, you know that at a certain moment, the crisis appeared on the occasion of a desperate attack. If it were not for the two defenders'' outstanding and excellent cooperative defense interception consciousness, I am afraid that they have already been hit with holes.


    When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, at Old Trafford, the fans of the Red Devils shared a voice.


    "Milwall! Who is the boss of England?"


    The scoreboard showed a dazzling score.


    1:0!


    Manchester United scored the only goal in the game through a set ball. In the sports game, they still could not cross the last line of defense between Southgate and Nesta.


    For the Red Devils, it is the familiar figure of thousands of Red Devils: David Beckham.


    At the end of the game, Aldridge stood up and saw Millwall players leaving the stadium quickly with their heads and footsteps, as if stingy to express their lost emotions.


    Klinsmann stayed in place until Ferguson came to shake hands with him before he recovered and shook hands with each other.


    Below the box, countless Red Devils fans turned to ridicule laugh at Aldridge.


    At this moment, Aldridge is not the greatest young commander in England, or the most hated lion-maker in the eyes of the Red Devils.


    At a young age, Burt put on a fierce look with his teeth clenched, his fists clenched and stood in front of Aldridge, and showed no signs of weakness to the crowd of fans below.


    Earl turned around and pressed into Aldridge''s arms. The child who said in a word that he had grown up secretly wiped tears from the corners of his eyes.


    Aldridge left Old Trafford with two children, ignoring Ferguson''s text message inviting him to visit the office.


    On his way home by plane, Aldridge kept meditating.


    In the end, he came to a conclusion.


    The earth is not turning around him.


    He hopes that the family will be happy and happy, he hopes to spend more time with his family and enjoy his life, and he also hopes that the mad lion can continue to surpass the world in the post-Aldrich era.


    How can things in the world be as he wishes?


    In the eight years of coaching Millwall, he gave up a lot. The first is time. He put all his energy into his work. Therefore, even if he has inherent advantages, he thinks he should be Got.


    Now, he wants to look at the wall and appreciate the direction of the team he built, still standing on top of the peak. It seems that it is too naive.


    After returning home, Burt and Earl were unhappy, and began to avoid Aldridge.


    The following day, Fleet Street published a heavy special report.


    "Crazy Lion has declared the end of the Premier League!"


    After Millwall lost to Manchester United, Arsenal swept the Saints Southampton 6:1 at home at the same time, the top two teams with the same points throw Millwall away by 4 points.


    With 5 rounds left in the league, Millwall¡¯s hopes of defending the league have become increasingly slim, because 4 points represents the gap between the two games.


    Although Manchester United and Arsenal will also stage a dragon fight, Kemir Wall''s next five rounds of the league, which also has a hard bone, the first is the next challenge to the magpie Newcastle United, the final battle will also play the Reds Liverpool, these two The teams are all determined to get the Champions League tickets in the top four, and are now ranked in the top six, one can imagine the difficulty of the game.


    In view of this, Fleet Street can''t wait to declare the end of Millwall''s dynasty. In this season, it is unable to dominate Europe again. At the same time, the rule within England also declares collapse!


    On Thursday evening, after dinner, Burt and Earl wiped their mouths and ran upstairs. Aldridge called out, and both of them thought they had not heard.


    Aldridge frowned, saying to himself: "Are there some domestic violence? They have been disobedient in the past two days, and they have not agreed, so it is not good to go on like this!"


    Yiwen Wen, who was packing up the cutlery, put down the plate in his hand and came to Aldridge to sit down and said softly: "They really grew up."


    "Ok?"


    Aldridge looked away, puzzled.


    Ewen took his hand and whispered: "After you returned from Manchester that day, they secretly asked me, Millwall lost to Manchester United, are you sad or not? I told the truth, I told them, you must be inside Very painful. So, they have been hiding from you for two days, do you know why?"


    Aldridge probably guessed it. Somehow, he felt a little sour in his heart. I didn¡¯t know if it was touched, or he was really proud of his child.


    Do the two young masters who don''t know the sorrow, also understand the feelings of adults?


    Yiwen continued: "They think you left the club in order to make them happy. Although they like to have you by their side, they also hope you can be happy. You are the omnipotent father in their hearts, most of them Over the years, they will often sneak a sneak peek at the games you have coached Millwall in the past, just to see you on the sidelines, the father who can be crazy and happy."


    Aldridge closed his eyes just to cover up the moisture in his eyes, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It''s not fair to say that, at home, I have more joy, but I won''t be crazy."


    Yiwen smiled and said: "But you haven''t found that you will also be distracted at home, especially when you have breakfast in the morning, pick up the newspaper and open the sports section, and see the news of the crazy lion, you can''t help it. Frowning, and thinking for a while, you did not find that when you make these actions, Earl and Burt always have their mouths closed, and they seem to be worried for you. They are really good children, and I hope Bonnie will be like them in the future. ."


    Aldridge sighed a long time, really wondering whether it was joy or sorrow, Yiwen stood up, kissed the probe gently on his face from behind him, and finally said in his ear: "Don¡¯t feel guilty in my heart, I I hope this home is your support, not your burden, just like Burt and Earl, they want you to be happy, and I also hope to play golf, watch horse races, go shopping, participate in amateur bicycle competitions, go diving trips ......In the past six months, your life is not regular at all, and you are always trying to find a suitable rhythm. Go back. If you don¡¯t go back, just watch Millwall fall step by step, you are not reconciled."


    Ewen cleaned up the dining table, and Aldridge was still sitting at the table, remembering her words.


    At this time, his cell phone rang and he glanced at the caller ID.


    Caller: Klinsmann.

 Chapter 909： Resign

    At the beginning of the Chinese lantern, Aldridge drove under the night to a hotel near the Lion''s Cave Stadium.


    There was also Millwall''s industry. When he took over the team, he rented, bought, and rebuilt the hotel. It was originally a Millwall indoor training place, and later became a place similar to the club''s leisure club.


    He once insisted on regular indoor swimming here for two years, and once held beer nights with coaches for a long time here.


    In the past two years, it has been relatively rare, because I have time to stay at home with my family.


    He parked the car in the parking lot outside the hotel, walked into the hotel alone, and took the elevator to the fifth floor. This floor is a small bar, and the staff has been off work. At this time, there is a person sitting in the bar drinking a dull drink.


    When Aldridge sat down next to him, he pushed a glass of wine and an envelope together in front of Aldridge.


    Klinsmann, who was already half drunk, seemed disappointed, and found that Aldridge did not go to pick up his glass. He said in amusement: "The resignation letter is in the envelope."


    Aldrich stretched his hand on his wrist, stopped him and continued to drink.


    Klinsmann suddenly laughed nervously.


    With a smile, he lowered his head and pressed his forehead against his other arm.


    "Aldrich, sorry, I failed to meet your expectations, I..."


    "Juergen, it''s not over yet. Even if all four of this season are empty, you still have one season. At least in the past three months, your coaching achievements are obvious to all, and they are developing in a good direction."


    In fact, it is true, only looking at the efficiency of grabbing points in the past three months, Millwall is the first in the league, but fell off the chain in December.


    There are still five rounds in the league. Even if the defending fails, the gap from the champion will not be obvious.


    Klinsmann lowered his head and grinned: "Aldrich, no, I have no time, I feel that in the locker room, many players are reluctant to talk to me again, even face to face, just a kind of respect for the past feelings of working together What do I say, no one wants to listen, and I would also like to thank them and change another team, I am afraid that I would have turned my face long ago, and no one stabs in the back, which gives me the greatest respect. Audrey Strange, this job, I can¡¯t do it, I can¡¯t really do it, I¡¯m not you, not many people in the Millwall locker room really convinced me, no, I am asking myself now, what can I do to convince these incomparably glorious players? ?still none."


    Klinsmann''s tone was rather sad.


    Aldridge closed his eyes and suddenly remembered a mocking report from the Fleet Street Tabloid two months ago.


    After Klinsmann abandoned Larson, Larson remained silent, conscientiously trained, and did not make any external remarks. Within the team, it was more like isolating himself and rarely communicating with his teammates.


    Over time, the outside reporters will understand the situation.


    Larson apparently had a cold war with Klinsmann, the core is actually: the coach does not need me, I will ignore the coach.


    But Larson didn''t make any mistakes, not once. He was like a transparent man who didn''t play and only trained at Millwall.


    In order to exaggerate the contradictions in the Millwall team, Fleet Street will use the tabloids to play.


    Roughly speaking, it virtualizes the dialogue between Larson and Klinsmann.


    Klinsmann: Obey me!


    Larson: Why?


    Klinsmann: I am the World Cup champion! European Championship!


    Larson: We are a club and cannot participate in the World Cup and the European Cup. I have 5 league champions and 4 Champions League champions. Why?


    Klinsmann: I also have a league champion! I still have a League Cup! In addition, I conquered the Premier League as a German!


    Larson: I conquered Europe as a Swede!


    The intention of the unscrupulous tabloid is definitely to stir up the flames, because Larson itself is not resistant to Klinsmann. If Klinsmann reused him, Larson would immediately put himself on the battlefield without saying anything, and show his fighting spirit in the battlefield.


    This idea is crooked, but this virtual dialogue has some practical significance.


    There are many honorable players on the Millwall team. To convince them, the head coach must have very high capital.


    This is also the biggest problem for Aldridge''s departure last summer. Please invite outsiders to ask, in today''s football, which coach has the honor of these players? Once the outsiders lead the team in a record decline, they can''t balance the intricate relationship network in the locker room. I am afraid that there will be countless swordsman shadows. As Klinsman said, players will stab them in the back! A **** picture will immediately appear.


    It was to use Klinsmann''s past work at Millwall to ease it.


    So Millwall was calm, but the silence was overdone and turned into silence.


    If it does not erupt in silence, it will die in silence.


    The Millwall locker room did not break out, but now went to death in silence.


    Klinsmann has become difficult to communicate with the players normally.


    What''s the use of listening to him?


    Speaking of speaking, can communication make the team win?


    Moreover, Klinsmann insisted on trusting Klose alone and abandoned Larson''s approach, which really hurt many people''s hearts.


    This kind of continuation of victory, reshaping the glory of confidence, the locker room could not be seen on Klinsmann, and he also reached a fork in the same way.


    And among these big-name players, Klinsmann has an unbearable fear.


    Aldrich stretched his hand on Klinsmann¡¯s shoulder and comforted softly: ¡°To be honest, now I think that I didn¡¯t think about it last year. What you are carrying is heavier than I expected.¡±


    On the surface, last summer was almost the same as the summer of 1998. In the summer of 98, he left half of the team''s main force. In the summer of 02, he left four regular heroes.


    But the actual situation is still very different.


    In 1998, there were not many big-name stars left in the Millwall team.


    In 1998, the foundation of the rise of the second generation of crazy lions, Nedved, Larson, and Southgate were still between 25-28 years old. It was the golden age and they could definitely carry the team forward. Coupled with Pirlo, Ronaldinho and other up-and-coming ambitions, the dynasty created by the second-generation mad lion is not accidental, and it has certain inevitability.


    Last summer, not to mention Southgate 32, Larson was over 30 years old, and even Nedved was still seriously injured. At this age, the player¡¯s own state has become a major energy input point. Not to mention more dedication, even if it can take into account the overall situation of the team, it is very limited.


    Aldrich wrongly estimated the team''s construction background last summer. It should not be a simple replacement. It is by no means normal, but a new king must be supported!


    There are no rules in the circle, the same is true within the team!


    In this period of time when Southgate, Larson, and Nedved began to call the curtain, the invisible competition within Millwall has already quietly opened.


    Just like the front line, it should become the iconic figure that no one can shake, no one can question, carry the banner of the king, of course, should be Henry!


    But Klinsmann asked Henry to make some sacrifices to support Klose.


    The competition in the midfield is also very cruel. Alonso, Lampard, Nedved, and Kaka, even if it is impossible to straighten up a new king, but at least have a clear attitude, in two years When Aldridge was still in the position of head coach, the new king after Nedved was none other than Kaka. Of course, now Kaka is not eligible for a stable starter and main force, but you must give him a signal. Let him understand that to stand in Nedved''s position and succeed Millwall''s iconic midfielder, he must pay more, work hard, and fight hard!


    However, Millwall''s midfield competition is extremely chaotic. Even in the post-Gattuso era, defensive midfielders were directly kicked out of the competition. This is also Klinsman''s goal in balancing midfield big players Too many changes have to be made out of the place, and this has also laid the groundwork for his betrayal.


    The back line is almost the same, Nesta is very strong, but Nesta is not an icon of Millwall. If he stays in Millwall for ten years, with his ability, he will become difficult in Millwall history. The forgotten character, but Nesta is now 27, and the king of the next line of defenders has not surfaced.


    There needs to be a clear order within a team, and this kind of control is even more demanding on the head coach. Before last summer, Aldridge did not take this aspect into consideration until Klinsmann led the team close to a season. Here, he only figured out the reason in the problem that broke out through Millwall little by little. This is what a bystander sees the problem, and then reflects on it.


    The inside of Millwall, which is invisible to the outside world, is actually the reason for the disorderly internal consumption and open fights, which is the reason for the team¡¯s apparent decline in combat power. Team, no matter how the formation changes, there can be no difference between the world.


    "Aldrich, I also love Millwall and love everything here, so, when I resigned, I couldn''t accept the fact that I destroyed Millwall little by little by myself."


    Klinsmann raised his head and turned his head to look at Aldridge for the first time. There were two obvious tears on his face.


    Aldridge suddenly felt guilty. He always acted boldly. This made it easy to ignore many objective facts. Klinsmann''s words made him feel like a knife.


    It can''t be blamed that Klinsmann did not dare to take over the handsome position of Millwall, the kind of temptation, that Aldridge threw to Klinsmann.


    Aldridge shook his head slightly, his eyes dropped, and his gaze fell on the glass of wine, astringently said: "Your resignation, I do not accept, tomorrow, Millwall officially announced the firing of you."


    Klinsmann stood up and spoke softly and walked out.


    "Thank you."


    Thank you?


    Will Millwall fire him and will he be compensated for his contract?


    of course not.


    It is Aldridge who maintains his dignity.


    If Klinsmann resigned as a blame, it proved that he was afraid, withdrawn, and did not have the confidence to continue, which is a coward or even denying himself in the eyes of the outside world.


    Like, Keegan, who led the resignation of England after losing to Germany, admitted that he was not capable enough.


    Being a head coach is not an indisputable job. The first point is to ask others to serve you!


    You are not confident anymore, and who do you expect to persuade?


    Replacing Millwall to dismiss Klinsmann would more or less cover up Klinsmann¡¯s failure to coach this time.


    He looked up and drank the glass of wine, Aldridge took out a lighter and lit a cigarette, then burned the letter.


    Five minutes later, Aldridge took out his phone and called Jensen, saying only one sentence.


    "Return to the mad lion tomorrow with me."

 Chapter 910： Cancer and contradiction

    After Millwall lost to Old Trafford, Fleet Street not only preached Millwall''s withdrawal from the championship, the league''s defending defeat failed, and used "disaster" to describe Millwall''s performance this season!


    This is how the media does, inciting the dangers and sensationalism, lest the world will not be chaotic!


    Excluding the opinions of the majority of Millwall fans, after all, many fans have confirmed that Millwall''s performance this season is extremely bad. Those fans who like this team because of Millwall''s invincibility, of course, cannot accept Mill. Wall fell from the altar.


    It can be put in the eyes of many neutral and objective fans, and it also excludes the elements of schadenfreude. In fact, Millwall''s performance this season has nothing to do with the disaster.


    Looking at the world, all the giants have basically had such a season in the past ten years, or even shortened to five years.


    Real Madrid, Barcelona, ??Serie A top three, and even Bundesliga classmates, who hasn''t?


    Therefore, many Millwall fans, especially those who supported the team before Millwall''s rise, did not respond much.


    For them, it is not because of how strong Millwall loves this team, nor does Millwall win the championship and affect the support. Their emotions are more like a flesh-and-blood instinct.


    Good and bad, together.


    The day after tomorrow, Millwall will face Newcastle United at home, the penultimate round of the league.


    Players come to the club for training as usual, change their clothes and walk into the training ground. Before the arrival of the coaching staff, they are doing relaxing activities.


    In the past, they were always in groups of three or five, or chatting and farting, or playing group football games. They often heard people bragging, and often saw teammates playing ball skills.


    Even at the beginning of the season, Ronaldinho Ronaldo still showed various tips in front of Ronaldinho. There is a stance of Ronaldo. Ronaldinho does not throw him at all. Whatever the scissors foot on the bicycle and the ball is pediatrics, Ronaldinho directly Long-footed kicked the ball towards the goal, halfway away, the ball hit the beam and bounced back, watching the silly Ronaldo, the teammates laughed in unison, Ronaldinho spread his hands and shrugged, with a stinky smile, only He knew for himself that he just wanted to kick the ball to the goal. Who knew he hit the crossbar?


    Cristiano Ronaldo tried almost 20 feet and failed to hit the ball on the beam. Since then, Cristiano Ronaldo has hung a car tire on the tree next to the training ground. After training, he practiced himself from a close distance. Start your efforts with the goal of hitting the center of the tire.


    In the club''s training ground, there will always be many small things that the outside world does not know, and these small things will change to reflect the team''s internal atmosphere, team cohesion and other invisible information.


    Like now, everyone just waits for the coaching staff to arrive as a routine, without passionate communication, no laughter, no conflict, just like the same sand.


    Ronaldinho puts his hands in his pockets and turns the ball without expression on the spot. The ball bounces and falls at a time, and is always controlled by his feet. He has never landed for more than 5 minutes. Ronaldinho is like a puppet, mechanically repeating the ball. The action exudes a cold indifference of "no one will bother me".


    "The lion''s elven king lost his smile!"


    This was the news that the outside world paid attention to a few months ago. Now, Ronaldinho is carrying the infamous cancer tumor in Millwall''s dressing room.


    When did everything start?


    At least Fleet Street believes that it started after the results of the Golden Globe Awards last year.


    Last year was the World Cup year, England counterattacked the throne and won the world, but England depends on the whole, and no one is absolutely eye-catching, or that England is not relying on who is at the top of his own, like England¡¯s Beckham and Owen. The third and fourth selections of the Golden Globe Awards are already a great honor and affirmation. If there is no World Cup, they may not even enter the top five.


    Henry was originally expected to defend, but unfortunately the French team was shamefully eliminated as the defending champion in the World Cup. Henry became one of the sinners. The second game was sent off with a red card, so that all the honors he won at the club could not support his defending gold. Ball award.


    Although the Brazilian team only won the third place in the World Cup, the aliens broke the long-term record of the World Cup¡¯s long-term shooter. With the new season transfer to Real Madrid, they performed well in the nearly half of the season before the Golden Globe Awards. !


    Ronaldinho, with the club''s seven crowns and the first person to assist in the World Cup, lost to Ronaldo. There is a big reason for Millwall''s new season, especially before the Golden Globe Awards. His performance is not outstanding. Failed to score the most recent impression points.


    Losing to Henry the year before last year and losing to the aliens last year, ranking second in the Golden Globe for two consecutive years, Fleet Street thought Ronaldinho began to be unhappy, began to indulge, and directly affected Millwall internally.


    How did it evolve into a tumor?


    Because when Lampard, Ashley Cole, Joe Cole, Robben, Johnson and others were frequently exposed in the nightclub carnival, Fleet Street put all these responsibilities on Ronaldinho!


    They said that Ronaldinho brought down a genius like Joe Cole, and Ronaldinho influenced the World Cup champions like Lampard!


    Especially when Ronaldinho seemed to have lost its magic on the field and fell into silence, all kinds of criticism swept over the ground.


    Ronaldinho was always silent, without a response, more like gradually closing himself.


    Because he remembers, his boss said to him: Don¡¯t argue with the media to argue, it is a waste of time. The more you say, the happier the media will be, and their conspiracy will succeed!


    Ronaldinho has always loved playing, since he was 17 years old playing for Millwall in the professional arena.


    How do other people live, he doesn''t know, anyway, besides playing football, can''t he entertain?


    He did change the woman more diligently, but he took it for granted, it is normal, a 22-year-old man can''t have **** and life?


    The only difference is that you may sleep the same woman all year round, or 2, 10 different, I may sleep 30 or more a year, but I did not break the law!


    As for the bad Joe Cole, Ronaldinho only despised.


    He plays with him, others play with others, except for occasional playing pool with his teammates, singing and singing, and having a team gathering inside the team. At other times, everyone has no interaction outside the court.


    Who said he was bad, and who took pictures of them together at the nightclub?


    It seems like Lampard, Ashley Cole, a British native hero, should be an authentic gentleman, a gentleman, a gentleman, a little wrong, and the responsibility must be someone else''s.


    The reason why Ronaldinho closed himself and didn''t want to communicate more with his teammates also came from this.


    The accusations and criticisms of the outside world, that those involved, no one actually stood up to say a fair story, as if borrowing a donkey down the slope. As the media said, to reduce their pressure, they closed their eyes and let Ronaldinho. Pull back.


    It''s chilling!


    I feel this group of Englishmen is too **** a man!


    You guys are happy to be playboys, are they all bad?


    Think about what kind of gathering you guys had a year ago. Please invite Lao Tzu to go. Your friends are so excited that they met Tenjin. Isn''t Lao Tzu giving you a face?


    If it wasn''t for your boss to lead you to the World Cup, even if you go outside to play, there will be a group of paparazzi tracking?


    Don''t look down on yourself too much!


    Ronaldinho is a simple person, and his thoughts are also very simple. This kind of simplicity does not mean absolute integrity.


    At 8 years old, he had no father and lived in a slum before coming to England. He had not received a good education.


    His world is therefore simple, playing football to make money, enjoying in time, not thinking about complicated things, and simply going through this life happily.


    So what is the king of the ball, he is not rare at all!


    So what Golden Globe Award is the second in two consecutive years, he will be unhappy and indulge? fart!


    If he indulges, he is rich and willful!


    Whoever treats him well, he understands in his heart that he has always kept the bottom line and played back. There is always restraint. There is always a warning from the head of the heart. It is difficult for him to ignore the hard work that the head has put on him.


    But he also knows that he has had an unpleasant time at Millwall this season, especially after the World Cup, when England won the championship, the English players in the team suddenly seemed to be terrible, and the voice became louder, which began to make people call, England The disgusting sense of superiority in the guy was involuntarily revealed.


    All this made Ronaldinho disgusted.


    Klinsmann is a good person, always full of passion, but in the eyes of Ronaldinho, Klinsmann can¡¯t control this team, just like he doesn¡¯t like to partner with Lampard in the midfield and frontcourt, he likes to cut, Lampa Germany likes to insert forwards. During the regional conflict on the court, Lampard will signal Ronaldinho to go to the penalty area. Ronaldinho feels inexplicable: I am in Brazil, Rivaldo, Ronaldo will not tell me how to play. , Which green onion do you count?


    When Alonso replaced Lampard in the midfield, Ronaldinho''s activity space was free of conflicts, as free as before, but Lampard would be dissatisfied on the field, and Klinsmann sacrificed the defensive type. Back waist, withdraw Nedvide, let Lampard continue to hit the front waist, in this way, Ronaldinho is completely fixed on the side, when he cuts in the middle, he will tell Lampard: you Forbidden area, like Pavel did before! Or pull the edge, swap positions with me and upset the opponent''s mark!


    But it''s useless. Lampardella has no threats. He is the most threatening outside the penalty area. When entering the penalty area, the efficiency is far less than Nedved. The ball control technique at the foot is not as intuitive as Nedved.


    Ronaldinho smiled, and then said nothing.


    Just concealed a sentence in my heart without asking.


    "You can''t be as comfortable as Alonso to organize the offensive and defensive conversion hub in the back, nor can Nedved be able to switch with me in the front waist, and can not enter the penalty area to effectively end the opponent, It¡¯s nothing like my last pass in front of the penalty area. With a single long-range threat, why must it be the main force and must be reused in a tough stance?"


    On the court, it is natural to speak of strength.


    Compared with culture, Ronaldinho must be willing to take the lead, but compared to playing football, he also has his own arrogance above the top. Millwall has been a strong power before, the main force is the capable person, and now the atmosphere in the team is somewhat Weird, obviously the strongest person, but not in the strongest position, the people who should sink their hearts to compete are more confident than anyone else, as if there is something backing behind.


    call¡­¡­


    The ball finally landed. Ronaldinho''s two legs were already hot. He stepped on the ball and swept his gaze across the training ground. All his teammates were here.


    But what about coaches?


    "Henrick, what time is it?"


    Shouting to Larson, who was also alone not far away, Ronaldinho awaited the other''s answer. Although he was in a state of self-closure, he still respected people like Larson from the heart.


    When he came to Millwall, he was listening to the fans cheering for Larson.


    Now, Larson has written a legendary chapter here, but if it is abandoned or even eventually expelled, and can not end in the mad lion, Ronaldinho will be more chilled, because Larson¡¯s ending may be After ten years, he will end, or, it will not take ten years, after all, he is already a Millwall tumor.


    Larson naturally didn''t bring a watch to train. He shook his head and said, "I don''t know, but the training time is definitely here. It''s abnormal today."


    Ronaldinho sneered with a grin.


    Is the team out of training?


    Okay, let''s go and save time.


    When he was about to leave the training ground, his footsteps stopped suddenly, because he saw two men leading the Millwall coaching staff to the training ground except Klinsmann.


    In the surprised eyes of all players, Jenson Bernard and Stella Maggioni walked between them.


    Jenson looked around the scene and cried with a serious expression: "The club official just announced that the head coach Jurgen Klinsmann was fired, and Sir Hall returned to the club to take charge of the work. Today I am responsible for the training , Start warming up now."


    The players scattered in the training ground looked different after being surprised. Ronaldinho showed a smile for a long time, kicking the ball under his feet and flying.

 Chapter 911： Waving the butcher knife

    April 17, 2003.


    This morning, Aldridge drove his two sons to the Leo training base. The training base is very large. The youth team and the first team have been clearly separated from each other. Therefore, the arrival of Aldridge was not blocked by the first team. Perceived by the player.


    He first took his two sons to the youth team, handed Burt and Earl to his brother Najib, and left with a word.


    "Just treat them as ordinary kids who come here to train, don''t take it seriously, maybe they are just interested in it for a while."


    On this day, Aldridge¡¯s two sons formally entered the Millwall youth training system and received the same training as many children who came here. There is no separate coach and no special guidance.


    ...


    At 9 o''clock in the morning, Millwall''s official website released the latest news. Head coach Klinsmann was fired by the club. Millwall thanked Klinsmann for his coaching efforts from July last year to mid-April of this year, which brought Millwall Three championship trophies, Community Shield, European Super Cup, Toyota Cup, and wish Klinsmann good luck in the future.


    At the same time, it was announced that the former coach Aldridge will return to the position of head coach.


    Millwall did not hold a press conference, but the official website must have been followed by the major media on Fleet Street. This news has just triggered a huge wave!


    "Forget the SARS virus! The most sensational news is here: Sir Hall returns to the mad lion!"


    "The Premier League''s championship situation has been reversed! There are 4 points in five rounds, and the crazy lion counterattacks the defending. What is impossible?"


    "Manchester United, Arsenal, tremble!"


    "The King is back! The crazy lion is back to the top just around the corner!"


    ...


    One stone stirred up a thousand waves and just lost to Manchester United at Old Trafford. Millwall fans in East London were in a state of mind, but suddenly heard this explosive news and immediately tried to verify it until they opened the Mill in front of the computer. Wall''s official website confirmed the authenticity of the news, and immediately fans rushed out of the house, left the bar, and even stole away from work.


    Countless crazy lion fans came to the outside of Leo training base, pulled up banners, sang ballads, called Aldridge''s name, and warmly welcomed his return, the unprecedented grand occasion.


    The Millwall players on the training ground trained seriously. That hard attitude fell into the eyes of the coaching staff. I really felt completely new.


    And they take it for granted.


    Aldrich, even if he didn¡¯t show up in person, was enough to have such magic.


    Stella Maggioni received a phone call from Jenson when he woke up in the morning and asked him if he was interested in a part-time job. After hearing it clearly, he went to the coaching team of Millwall. He said nothing: Unbelievable!"


    I really came to Millwall''s training base and lamented the huge scale of the training base. I was also excited when I saw one football superstar after another. What shocked him most was the crowd gathered outside the training base.


    Those people were excited and happy, as if life had undergone a radical transformation.


    This is personal influence.


    It is also the charm of Aldridge.


    Stella Maggioni was so envious that he forgot to ask Jenson what kind of work he should do.


    Jenson is very busy. Although he returned to Millwall, he still needs to re-understand the team''s internal conditions, especially the training content, and how this working system works.


    Boas is busier. He needs to sort out the internal statistics of the team¡¯s player performance this season in the shortest time, and compare the comprehensive performance statistics of the past few seasons to use this scientific data to sit in the office. Aldridge inside.


    This time when he returned to the mad lion, Aldridge''s working state and thinking were completely different from those when he entered the league in 1994.


    He does not need to do anything in all things, he will find a lot of reliable helpers, decentralize his power, and assign his work to his assistants to make his work easier, and then spend more time with his family.


    Even if it is a job like researching opponents, he will not spend his time on doing it himself. He will impart his method experience to Stramagioni and let the Italian handsome guy do it. He only needs to grasp the overall situation. That''s it.


    On the training ground, the players began to become absent after earnest training for a period of time. They were all looking forward to seeing Aldridge, but the young coach never showed up.


    At 11:30 in the morning, before the end of the training, Boas returned to the training ground, whispered a few words to Jensen and handed him a stack of documents, and Jensen nodded solemnly.


    Then he waved and let the team gather.


    When all the players of the first team stood in front of him, Jenson said solemnly: "Joe Cole."


    Joe Cole''s expression froze, and then raised his hand to signal that he heard.


    "From the afternoon, you go to the reserve team for training, or you can do it without training. You can inform your agent that the club will let you move away this summer during the transfer period."


    a bolt from the blue!


    All the players in the first team have wide-eyed eyes and incredible faces.


    They think that the young commander will definitely rectify the discipline when he returns. It is not that Klinsmann is not strict in governing the army, but that Klinsmann has always been under pressure from public opinion on the Fleet Street. Somehow, he is unable to protect himself. How can he offend the player?


    After the young commander returned, he didn''t meet the players to reminisce, and he directly waved the butcher''s knife!


    The first knife fell, slashed by the English genius Joe Cole who was called N years!


    With the entire team of players present, Joe Cole was incredulous and lost his voice: "Impossible! How can the leader give up me?"


    give up?


    That''s right, he hasn''t really made a name for himself in Millwall, and now he leaves and is abandoned!


    Without changing his face, Jenson said coldly: "Sir Hall''s original words are: You have more energy to fight against people for jealousy and fight outside. The club is not difficult for you, you go."


    Joe Cole has not made any professional mistakes these years. Everyone''s unchecked private life is well-known. It will be rough to grab a parking space. It is not the first time for the third version of the girl to fight. It is not the first time. Shame, more or less, will affect Millwall''s reputation.


    The dog can''t change the way to eat shit, and Aldridge is not interested in educating others. He used to be fined, and now he doesn''t have the patience.


    genius?


    Although there are certainly geniuses that Millwall cannot buy, there are not many.


    Joe Cole shouted reluctantly: "Isn''t it like me alone? Isn''t he, he, he, he, all gossip outside? Why not give me a chance?"


    The people Joe Cole pointed at were Ronaldinho, Lampard, Ashley Cole, and even Ronaldo.


    At this time, a little bit angry.


    Jenson stepped forward and pressed his hand on Joe Cole''s shoulder, said lightly: "Stay here, you have no future, the reality before you is that you only have a chance if you leave."


    Joe Cole''s look changed, and he was still unwilling to gritt his teeth, so he left like a lost dog.


    He was even more reluctant when he came to Millwall, what was Millwall? What is he?


    In the past three years, he has rejected the temptation of Manchester United, rejected the olive branch of Arsenal, did not expect the ending in Millwall will be like this!


    But he still listened to Jensen''s words.


    That''s right, he stayed at Millwall again, and it really didn''t seem to have any chance.


    As an offensive player, the competition in the Millwall team is extremely cruel. Not to mention that the older generation still has good combat strength. In the competition of the new generation, he does not have any advantage. He continues to stay in Millwall. I''m afraid it''s really lame.


    Joe Cole left with anger and humiliation, and did not issue any vicious curse or angry words. The reality in front of him is: Where to leave Millwall?


    After Joe Cole left, there was silence on the training ground, and the players did not panic like Rabbit''s Dead Fox and were more shocked.


    Because they looked at Joe Cole''s back, as if clearly seeing: a person''s fate was changed lightly.


    "Lampard."


    When Jenson called out Lampard''s name, Lampard fell into the ice cellar as a whole and cast incredible sights around him.


    Could it be that the boss''s second knife will cut him?


    Lampard Qiang calmed down and raised his hand.


    Jenson took a copy from the stack of documents and handed it out. Lampard caught up and looked down. At the top was a written notice.


    The team warned of a two-week salary penalty.


    Below the written notice, there is a stack of news content about Lampard''s negative reports outside the court this season, all of which are facts, not catching the wind and catching the shadows, because those news content have the figure of Lampard, not made up by the blind. .


    Lampard exhaled, suddenly realizing that he was sweating.


    He took the file back to the team, but was only fined, and he was too lucky compared to Joe Cole.


    It''s not that Aldridge has a double standard. Indeed, Joe Cole is involved in the off-site right and wrong, and Lampard, just a **** scandal, appeared in a nightclub carnival.


    Ronaldinho, Ashley Cole, Johnson, Cristiano Ronaldo, these four have also received punishment notices, only Ronaldinho received the documents with a smile.


    In the end, Jenson pronounced Southgate''s name a little heavily.


    This made the whole team''s players never think that Southgate, who is right and wrong outside the court, should be punished?


    Southgate was on the line, and there were no more documents in Jenson''s hands. He just asked: "Sir Hall asked, fine you for two weeks'' salary, are you dissatisfied?"


    Southgate shook his head and said, "Observe the boss''s decision."


    He knew in his heart why Aldridge punished him in front of the team, because he did not play the role of captain!


    This season, Southgate was also caught in a dilemma. He couldn¡¯t ignore Larsson¡¯s abandonment and psychologically resisted Klinsmann, but it didn¡¯t explode. He was the leader of the locker room. He chose inaction from the stand, neither warned these England players to converge off the court, nor did he come forward when the cohesion of the team declined.


    For him, would it not be a deeper betrayal of Larson if the whole team was gathered to cater to Klinsmann?


    How many players came to the team in the summer of 94? 22 people!


    Everyone who left, Southgate remembered, left and right, a total of 17 people left!


    Who is left?


    He, Larson, Nedved, Schneider, Bout.


    5 people, only this 5 people!


    Ask him a hundred times. Between Klinsmann and Larson, who did he choose? He would answer the same answer a hundred times: Larson!


    The iron-battled soldiers, a team, can fight side by side, from a nameless to a glorious common, how can the situation of the past ten years be ignored?


    If this situation is placed on other teams, the captain will have already unleashed a revolution!


    Jenson disbanded the team after making the last penalty notice.


    Ronaldinho came up and licked his face and asked, "Where is the boss? I invited him to lunch."


    Jensen said with a smile: "I advise you not to invite, look for scolding, wait, wait for him to finish training you in the afternoon, and then invite him to dinner."


    Ronaldinho looked puzzled and raised the document in his hand, saying, "Aren''t all fines? What else to train?"


    "Oh, in the past few months, do you think your performance will satisfy your boss?"


    "Ah, that''s not..."


    "What? Looking for an excuse?"


    "Forget it, I''m honestly waiting for him to talk in the afternoon."


    Stella Maggioni looked at Jenson admiringly. He originally thought that the assistants would not have much authority on the team. However, he could feel the players and treat Jenson from his heart. respect.


    After all, Jenson came to the club in the summer of 1994 and has been working hard for the first team. This respect is due to him.

 Chapter 912： one day

    On the morning when he returned to the club on that day, Aldridge sent Ewen and his youngest daughter Bonnie to Ewen¡¯s parents¡¯ home. Ewen took her daughter back to her mother¡¯s home. Her parents lived in North London. East London, and later graduated from Ewen University, provided a new house for parents in North London.


    Aldridge was ashamed to say that she wanted to give Yiwen some money a few years ago to let her family improve the material life, but Yiwen refused. In her words, her parents were accustomed to a plain life, and the material life was not higher. The pursuit is now bland, just fine.


    In the past two years, Aldridge has reiterated old things, and Yiwen just smiled, and he was too lazy to bother with Aldridge.


    So at noon that day, Aldridge had a working meal in the club and did not return home.


    His two sons ran to his office dirty, talking cheerfully about the morning training.


    "Dad, there are so many people here. You should have brought me here!"


    "Hey, coach Clyde said that I am very talented and can become a big star in the future!"


    For Burt and Earl, I used to play with the neighbors¡¯ friends in the community. The small circle is really small. Come and go to those children or Aldrich¡¯s circle of friends. Friends can visit and know more. Some children, such as Beckham''s son.


    When I came to the Millwall training base, just a small number of young children in groups seemed to let them enter a new world.


    The training is not strict, it looks a bit systematic, but there is no detailed frame to ask the children, more like playing scientifically.


    Listening to the two of you, I was talking with excitement, Aldridge would knock on their heads from time to time to let them eat well, but there was always a smile on his face.


    Before eating, let them take a bath, and after eating, let them sleep on the sofa in the morning.


    Aldrich stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the office, with a gap in the curtains. From here, he overlooked everything at the training base as before, and couldn''t help but murmur: "From now on, it is the real guardian."


    ...


    The members of the coaching staff did not go home at noon and ate in the restaurant of the training base because they had to work overtime and do a lot of work, which was the task that Aldridge came back to arrange today.


    The seats for employees and players are separated. The first-team coaching staff sits in the south corner of the restaurant. Today, everyone discusses work while eating, and there is a mutual assistance request for each other''s work.


    The only one was out of tune, and that was Stella Maggioni. He thought he would have a job today, but he didn¡¯t.


    Jenson told him that when he came to the club, he turned around, figured out various places and departments, and waited for a clear understanding of the place, and then looked more to see what other staff members were doing.


    It sounds like he just let him know his face first.


    So at lunch, Stella Maggioni asked Janson to ask for specific work.


    The first-team coaching staff also saw it. Oudric¡¯s return this time, Millwall¡¯s management system did not return to what it used to be. Jenson took the power, and from the ranks, he is now an assistant coach, responsible for more comprehensive work. , It should be.


    And these people have worked with Jenson for many years and roughly understand the reason: Aldridge is to give Jenson more room to sharpen, and he will be more proficient when he comes from the establishment of the portal.


    This makes Aldridge easy, but it also makes Jenson more passionate about work. Whatever power, it is a vague thing. It may exist in other clubs, but in Millwall, no matter how much power, Nor can he withstand Aldridge''s words, so as long as Aldridge is there, let go to Jenson, and he is not afraid of trouble.


    Faced with the struggling Stramagioni, Jenson smiled and said, "I want you to understand Millwall first, don''t worry about what to do, because only if you have a comprehensive understanding of this can you start working, otherwise , If you try harder, it may be in vain."


    Stella Maggioni was a little depressed, and asked, "What should I know?"


    All the departments here, all the people with authority, he recognized, the first team, all the players and coaches of the reserve team, he also wrote down, as for the characteristics of the players, in addition to the reserve team, the first team, he also did Take notes and get a general idea.


    Jenson saw his hard-mouthed and asked: "Then why do you think Millwall''s record has declined so much this season? Although it can''t be compared with last season, the points were 20 points less in the same period, but at a discount, worse, it should be There is no more than a 15-point gap."


    Millwall was the seven-time champion last season and was a retrograde performance.


    In terms of the league alone, this season is 20 points less than last season.


    First, the league lost 5 games, which is 15 points more than the undefeated last season!


    And Millwall''s strength, although it is inevitable that there will be a decline this season, no matter how much it declines, it should not be more than 20 points less than the same period last season. If it is 15 points less, it is acceptable, if that is the case. , Millwall will still be at the top of the Premier League standings.


    Stramaggioni stared at himself at the table with a smile, suddenly embarrassed, and immediately said: "This is a fatal flaw in Klinsmann''s technical and tactical system. The defensive midfielder, the defender line lacks a strong barrier, cannot be attacked strongly, and is counterattacked by the opponent, naturally it is easy to lose the ball, which leads to the failure to win the game."


    After he finished speaking, he saw Jansen raising a disdainful smile and shook his head.


    "Really? But did you understand the changes in Millwall''s ups and downs this season? It''s a stage where Klinsmann doesn''t have a defensive midfielder. Millwall scores first in the league in efficiency! It was this technical and tactical system that made Millwall kill the Champions League. Is this not contradictory to what you said?"


    Stramagioni was speechless.


    Jenson couldn¡¯t bear to hit him again, saying: ¡°You are the same, you said, Fleet Street said for a long time, criticizing Klinsmann¡¯s technical and tactical problems, there are problems? How can there be so many problems? Who said that the technical and tactical system must be four Does the Quartet have a fixed template? Just as you Italians have warned Serie A giants in the past few years, they said: When you encounter Millwall, don¡¯t put up a 3-guard system, this is to die! But if I ask you, If Aldridge uses a three-guard system, will it succeed?"


    Stramagioni frowned thoughtfully and never dared to answer.


    Jenson laughed: "If you use 433 to succeed, you must fail with 442, so why should Millwall bother to train stars? Why spend money to buy Nesta? When we have so many excellent players, the technical and tactical system Is there really a big gap? There must be a gap, but it is definitely not fatal. At best, using 442 may have 80 points, using 433 may have 90 points, and using 352 may have 75 points. It¡¯s not enough to make a huge contrast for a team. Otherwise, let¡¯s not manage the team and just study the technical and tactical formation every day. Andre, what do you think Millwall played last season? 433? That¡¯s Fleet Street. That¡¯s what European football critics said. In Aldridge¡¯s mouth, we actually played 442, using Ronaldinho as the front waist of the pull-side, and Larson as the pull-side. You will understand.


    Stella Maggioni is still a bit confused, but his mind is already eye-opening, and he has to digest it slowly, and he asks again: "What is the reason?"


    If Klinsmann was not the failure of the technical and tactical system, what caused the failure?


    Jansen said softly: "Dominance."


    After talking about this, Jenson said silently in his heart: Because of this, he dared not take the Audridge''s handsome position. Looking at the European football, who has come to control Millwall in five years and four Champions League?


    Presumably this truth or reality, Aldrich now wants to understand.


    Either push Millwall upside down and leave a handsome position while leaving a near-zero Millwall, or take it by yourself and want to withdraw, it is almost impossible, because it will be an infinite loop Unless, the young commander ended up with a new generation of crazy lion defeat, and sadly called the curtain, in order to completely cut off his invisible influence and **** of the club.


    ...


    This afternoon, Aldridge did not go to the training ground, but met with the players in the office alone.


    Larson was the first to come to his office.


    Seeing Larson, Aldridge asked in a rare tone: "How do you feel about your state? Can you still fight for the lion for five years?"


    Larson laughed. He will be 32 this fall.


    He replied in a normal tone: "Five years, there should be no problem."


    "Well, then I can rest assured of the striker."


    ...


    When Ronaldinho walked into the office, he showed a smiling face, but Aldridge did not smile at him, and directly threw a report to the table, saying, "Take the report back to read it for yourself, and then throw it away after reading it. Otherwise, I don¡¯t want to talk nonsense, and you don¡¯t want to listen."


    Ronaldinho was going to go out with his report, and he pretended to be a salute at the door. Aldrich''s mouth slightly raised after he left.


    The content of that report is not complicated. It is Ronaldinho¡¯s performance on the court this season, plus the comparison with the average data of the past few seasons, including back fights, running distance, and averaging in front of the penalty area. A series of data such as the number of times can reflect the player''s performance on the court.


    Obviously, there has been a decline this season.


    ...


    De Rossi, who has been to Millwall for more than 5 years, has the idea of ??leaving this season, because under Klinsmann, he feels desperate!


    At the beginning of the season, Klinsmann trusted Pedretti. At half-season, Pedretti had no chance. The defensive midfielder was abandoned. Why? Give seats to those offensive players.


    De Rossi is not afraid of competition, but he does not even give him the opportunity to compete. How can he stay?


    He was frustrated by this disappointment, but he thought that the Roma team also suffered a financial crisis in Serie A. If he goes back, he may really be a hero in danger.


    However, after he walked into Aldridge''s office this afternoon, one sentence, one sentence, changed all the ideas he had brewed for half a season.


    "Danielle, starting next season, you are the team''s main midfielder."


    Aldridge didn''t greet him and went straight to the door.


    De Rossi walked out of the office dizzyly.


    For both De Rossi and Pedroti, Klinsmann chose Pedroti for strength. There was nothing wrong at the beginning of the season because Pedroti was more experienced than De Rossi and was slightly stronger. .


    However, Pedretti''s potential is limited after all. I don''t know if it was suppressed by Gattuso before Millwall. In the national team, there are two mountains of Makelele and Vieira. He did not make rapid progress. The posture gives people a sense of being useable but unable to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility.


    While De Rossi is different, although it still needs to be honed, in the end, the potential is much higher than Pedretti. In terms of long-term benefits, supporting De Rossi as early as possible is better than asking Pedretti to protect the immediate interests. To be more worthwhile.


    This is also the limitation of Klinsmann, or the advantage of Aldridge. He is the boss, he does not matter, he can give up short-term benefits, he can use De Rossi boldly and more adventurously, and Klins For the record, Man only dare to choose Pedretti, who looks slightly more stable at this stage.


    ...


    Aldridge held talks with every player in the first team. Some of them saved people''s hearts, such as Larson, some criticized and beaten, such as Ronaldinho, and some gave the opponents a peace of mind, so that the opponent could have a bottom of heart and be clear. The positioning of the club, as well as the future development space, such as De Rossi, Kaka, Ronaldo, etc., some are narrating the old, such as goalkeeper Bout.


    At the end of this day''s work, Aldridge did not appear on the training ground, disappointing the outside world.

 Chapter 913： Open fight

    On the second day of returning to the club, Aldridge appeared on the training ground. As in the past, he started training after saying hello to the players of the team. The specific work of the training was handed over to Jenson to arrange responsibility. Take Stella Maggioni to watch and chat with him about Millwall.


    Outside the training ground, a lot of fans still gather. They saw Audridge today, and the Fleet Street reporters also mixed in, hoping to be able to take some photos to make a difference.


    On this day, Aldridge didn''t talk in private except when he greeted the players in a rare way. He didn''t even talk openly.


    In the afternoon, Jenson hosted the pre-match preparation meeting. All the players did not see Aldridge in the conference room, and the content of the preparation meeting surprised many people.


    Nothing has changed with the Klinsmann era.


    In the news public opinion released on Fleet Street today, in addition to the return of the less handsome, there is also heavy news that Joe Cole was abandoned by Millwall.


    In addition, after speculating on the return of Aldridge, Fleet Street will play Newcastle United on Saturday. Among Millwall players, whose fate will change!


    As soon as the emperor and the courtier, Klinsmann has left, and his set is synonymous with failure in the eyes of the outside world. The young commander returns, according to common sense, it is natural to chaos anyway, then, corresponding to the players on the field, there must be players who will Ushering in a turning point in fate.


    The first thing that was concluded by the outside world was the front line.


    Klose must give up the center position to Henry.


    Larson will definitely return to the starting lineup.


    How to change the midfield is the most fiercely debated in the outside world. Lampard, Nedved, Alonso, and the position of the midfielder. Whether to send full-time role players, there are more pits, who will continue to play the main role, who Sitting on the cold bench, these series of changes will affect the Millwall locker room.


    After a long-lost Premier League press conference, Aldridge came calmly. The scene was already overcrowded. Many reporters were standing in the aisle. When Aldridge appeared, the lights flickered and the camera shutter sounded one after another.


    After Aldridge sat down, some reporters could not wait to raise their hands to ask questions.


    "Sir Hall, Manchester United coach and Arsenal coach questioned earlier today whether your return violated the work contract with the FA. What is your response?"


    The reporter at the scene was very excited. As soon as Aldridge came back, it seemed that the entire Premier League order had undergone earth-shaking changes.


    Just after the league ended last week, Fleet Street also agreed that the defending of the Millwall League failed.


    There are 5 rounds left, which is 4 points away from the top two.


    While Klinsmann was out of class, Aldridge returned to Millwall and Fleet Street immediately changed his tone.


    It seems that Millwall is not surprised even if he finally defends his title.


    Before a game has been played, the fight between the Premier League and Champions League has become fierce again!


    Ferguson and Wenger both made trouble for Audridge and the FA.


    Question whether he is qualified to coach Mad Lion!


    In itself, the club is Aldridge, and of course he is qualified.


    However, Aldridge is still the coach of the national team.


    This is different from the situation three years ago.


    At the end of 2000, he took over the national team. It was obviously a part-time job. The FA is willing to play one, one is willing to suffer, and outsiders cannot say anything.


    But after the 2002 World Cup ended, Aldridge''s new contract with the FA was to give him a full-time contract, at least from the perspective of the annual salary level, that is the case.


    Under such circumstances, Aldridge returned to Milwall to coach and returned to a dual-duty working state. In this way, is there any conflict? Does the FA''s contract with him restrict him?


    The outside world does not know that, after all, the FA can¡¯t show the whole work contract to the outside world after renewing the contract with the young commander.


    But once it is clearly stated in the work contract that Audridge can only work for the FA, if Audridge insists on coaching Millwall again, this must be a breach of contract.


    If this matter is disputed, it will embarrass Aldrich at both ends.


    Faced with the reporter''s question, Audrey said in a terrifying way: "This kind of thing should ask the FA."


    No matter how the reporter asked, Aldridge just shook his head and asked the reporters to find the FA and listen to the FA''s answer.


    If the FA says that Aldridge has defaulted, then Aldridge will quit the coach of the national team, and he will not care about the penalty.


    Cunning Fleet Street, without Audridge said, in fact, preparing for a surprise attack on both sides today, while questioning Audridge at Millwall, at the same time to force the FA.


    They hope that there will be a situation on each side, so that the good show will be staged!


    The return of the young commander will not only compete with Manchester United Arsenal in the final stage of the league title, but may also have a fight with the FA.


    It''s a pity that Aldridge didn''t make them wish, he didn''t explain it, it was a smart practice to push it to the FA. According to the attitude of the FA, Aldridge responded again.


    Having dealt with the media for nearly a decade, Aldrich is experienced, how can he handle the other party?


    Although the FA has a bit of anxiety, they also turned over the Young Master¡¯s contract from beginning to end, so that they are more assured that at least the contract does not stipulate that the Young Master can only work for the FA.


    First, before the World Cup, the Football Association planned to renew the contract with the young coach, the conditions are the same as before, but the annual salary rises, and hope to extend the contract period more.


    In addition, within the period between the end of 2000 and mid-2002, the FA has no longer disagreed for Aldridge''s dual roles, so the new contract will not particularly emphasize this point.


    After the FA had sorted out the contract, the foreign spokesperson responded to reporters: "Sir Hall¡¯s contract with the FA does not restrict him from returning to Millwall to coach, and the FA has no worries even if he returns Millwall takes into account both the club and the national team. It turns out that Sir Hall¡¯s extraordinary work ability can be successful in both the club and the national team. We respect Sir Hall¡¯s personal decision."


    Aldridge brought back the World Cup for England, and now the European Cup qualifiers are also four consecutive victories, no suspense in qualifying. At this time, the FA will not be in conflict with Aldridge unless the brain gets flooded. To avoid hidden dangers, if there is such a provision in the contract, they don¡¯t mind amending the contract and signing another one with Aldridge. Even if they are criticized by the outside world and the Premier League will protest, the FA will ignore them.


    Among the most intuitive economic benefits, the Premier League does not obey management, but symbolically gives the FA a sum similar to the "hard work of the organizer", and the national team¡¯s economic income has increased significantly in the past two years, more or less. Aldridge''s personal credit.


    On Millwall¡¯s side, reporters are not interested in tomorrow¡¯s game.


    Even if Newcastle United, Liverpool and Chelsea are competing for the last Champions League ticket, Newcastle United''s fighting intention is unquestionable, but since Aldridge has returned to coaching, Millwall plays Newcastle United at home, just like the past few. Year like that: no suspense.


    The reporters questioned Aldridge about Joe Cole starting to train in the reserve team today, and Millwall listed it.


    "Joe Cole is a very talented player, but in the process of growing up, the quality he showed did not fully satisfy Millwall. Given that the team has better talents than him, I think he left Mill. Wall, looking for opportunities in other clubs will be more suitable for his professional development."


    Most of the reporters at the scene did not believe it. Most people still thought Joe Cole was expelled from the house because he violated Tianjo.


    But everyone still understands the less handsome approach.


    Killing a Joe Cole can make the rest of the team sound the alarm, especially Millwall itself has more young players. You don¡¯t give some thunder means, tell them: Genius? Genius will die too! How can they be used as a warning?


    If you really give up, it is too early in the eyes of the public. Joe Cole is 22 years old. With his current technical ability, as long as he goes to the next level and polishes the roundness through the game, although it is unlikely to reach Ronaldini At that height, McManman, who surpassed England, was not just a fantasy.


    Unfortunately, he is leaving Millwall.


    There was still a reporter who was unfair for Joe Cole and pointed his finger at the outside world for the "cancer" Ronaldinho in the Millwall locker room.


    They believe that Ronaldinho''s "unprofessional" private life style has always affected and damaged many players in the Millwall team.


    In this regard, Aldridge not only turned cold, but also furious.


    "You know a fart! Don''t **** irresponsibly defame my players! Everyone has their own life, it''s not their turn to point fingers! Ronaldinho''s performance has indeed declined this season, but, you Who thought he had played in the World Cup last summer for a month? Who thought he would fly back from Europe to South America and back again on FIFA match day? No! You will just spout feces! He has so many teammates in the past and now , Gattuso, Pirlo, Schneider, Nedvide, Bout, etc., there are so many teammates with him for more than five years, why are others not affected by him? Why? Your pig head is definitely not I have thought that you are only making news artificially and creating chaos artificially. You want to see Millwall as chaotic as possible. This is what you reporters, **** raise! Let me see this kind of irresponsible news, I will remember your unit, and then reject all your interviews from now on! You can unite to resist Millwall, boycott me, that is better, I don¡¯t want to see you yet!"


    There was silence in the scene, and the young commander walked away after speaking.


    No reporter dared to protest, fearing that he would be banned by Aldridge. This may be a loss of jobs, because Aldridge is not a certain reporter, but a media agency represented by the reporter.


    This kind of lack of morality, Aldridge has not done it before!

 Chapter 914： The elves who dont care about the ball king

    The young commander returned to the mad lion. He appeared in the Premier League press conference for the first time and then he had a bad relationship with the media. It originated from the maintenance of Ronaldinho.


    He is never like some iron-fisted coaches who have been entangled with players for a long time when their tempers broke out. The relationship with players has always been decisive and decisive. In the past year, McManaman first, then Joe Cole, will not give the outside world. When a story of continuous development is presented, it is already the ending.


    Only when standing on the opposite side of the media can there be stories and so-called wars.


    All this fell into the eyes of the critics of the ball, which is a kind of self-style of the young handsome. He is a savvy war initiator!


    Standing with the team and unanimously confronting the outside world will make the team more united, which is a common method for politicians, and Aldridge has repeatedly tried.


    There is no need to explore the ideas in Ronaldinho''s mind at this time. All the young masters do is to buy people''s hearts and to condense the team. In short, it is definitely beneficial to the future development of the team.


    The media did not dare to break up with Millwall¡¯s young commander. God knows if this young commander will make a comeback to lead Mad Lion into another epic legend. However, the media will still sneer and sneer, not willing to wear shoes for the young commander.


    Don''t plant it!


    Aldrich, if you fall, countless media people will grinning and falling down, drowning you with saliva, humiliating you endlessly with ridicule, using all means to knock you down into the abyss, and this will definitely make countless readers feel interest!


    Aldrich only cares about Ronaldinho¡¯s state. It can be said that his thinking has changed a lot in a year, and he also wants to understand many things.


    For Ronaldinho, in the past, he would instill a "king of mind" all the time, whip Ronaldinho to ascend the throne, and urge him to stand on the peak of the green world.


    But today, he will not.


    The people in every football circle do not mean that they will have the same pursuit, even for talented characters.


    Like, the highest achievement is the ball king.


    How is the king of the ball defined?


    Who can make it clear?


    Do you appreciate **** by playing football?


    Ronaldinho''s appreciation of playing football is not as good as Zidane? Zidane is elegant, Ronaldinho is magic.


    Achievement with the club?


    Bailey, what club achievements does Maradona have?


    Does Maradona lead the Nagas like a **** to the top of Serie A?


    If such achievements can be defined as the king of the ball, then why don¡¯t other stunning characters leave the giants and go to the team of the goddess to take a path of their own king?


    Or the World Cup?


    The World Cup king was born every four years, but the person who was recognized as the king of the ball is rare. Especially FIFA has also rated Li Huitang as the king of the ball. What are his major achievements?


    The ball king is too ethereal!


    Too far from realism!


    Just like Aldridge did not have any profound higher education, the previous life was a cock, and he dropped out of school at the age of 10 in this life, with extensive experience, but after all, there is not much esoteric knowledge in his stomach, and he is still a rising man in his bones, he will not go Caring about 9-11 two years ago, will not care whether the United Kingdom supports the United States to fight, nor will it care about the SARS outbreak now, even if he continues to promote universal values, anti-racial discrimination, promote environmental protection concepts, etc. From the beginning, it was a show.


    The world of the country is a bit of a lie in front of him. The responsibility of the common man is just talking about the mouth. Even if it is a little bit of the energy of the world, it will not join the blood. It is a drop of the sea, not a monster. Why do you do so much leisure?


    This mentality is very appropriate for Ronaldinho.


    A wild boy walking out of a slum, you let him be the king of the ball, tell him all the time how to work hard, what to pay, how much can he really listen to?


    Rather than working hard in the direction of the ethereal and seemingly without any sense of reality, it is better to live in time and enjoy it in time.


    Retreat ten thousand steps, really become the king of the ball, what is the practical significance for Ronaldinho?


    Perhaps it is like Bailey, even after retirement, he can still make a fortune, and his reputation is long-lasting.


    But after all, it is too far away. For Ronaldinho, a player who has no higher education, where would he think about his life ten years, twenty years, or even fifty years after retirement?


    The ball king is not real at all.


    Who loves to be and who is, Ronaldinho will not change his life rhythm, one accidentally, really become the king of the ball, then steal the music, not be, and what? Can''t you extricate yourself in the second half of your life?


    Therefore, Ronaldinho has always been free and unrestrained. As long as Ronaldinho is happy to play football, he has no concept of how great the pursuit is in the eyes of others.


    As a result, he never participated in affairs management in the Millwall locker room, neither influenced nor influenced by others.


    At this point, Aldrich knows Ronaldinho, and the team''s recruitment also put an end to players with the same smell as Ronaldinho. As for those media who said Ronaldinho is a cancer, it is simply a big deal.


    Kaka, who is a compatriot with Ronaldinho, how could it not be damaged? How was it not affected?


    This time Aldridge returned to the Millwall coaching position. Although he criticized Ronaldinho on the first day and punished him, but against Ronaldinho, Aldridge actually had to focus on protection. The first thing was to reduce Ronaldinho. Pressure.


    This decompression comes from two parts, the first part has been done, that is the pressure from the media.


    The second part is pressure from competition.


    In the green world, there are words that are most appropriate.


    The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.


    Throughout the history of football, whenever a team changes from strong to weak, the most capable player on the team must be at the cusp of the storm!


    People always equate competence with responsibility.


    But in fact, Ronaldinho has no authority in the Millwall team. He is a professional field, that is, the core part of Millwall in the arena, but it does not mean that he has shouldered the entire team, a ball The team can change the tactical core at any time, and can change the key figures of the technical and tactical system, but a team cannot change the soul figures subjectively!


    The outside world always confuses the strongest player with the soul of the team.


    For example, in the original history of Ronaldinho¡¯s ending in Barcelona, ??people will tirelessly say that Ronaldinho is depraved and how he is not upset, but whoever thought that Ronaldinho was not originally ¡°a person¡± for Barcelona, How long has he been there? He is the tactical soul of the team, does not mean that the entire team takes him as the soul from top to bottom, he said in the locker room, how many people can obey? In other words, how much power does he have? Just like Barcelona can let Rivaldo cancel in advance in order to invite Van Gaal, you can see the actual position and weight of Rivaldo in the club.


    And like Totti of Rome, Gerrard of Liverpool, Raul of Real Madrid, Casillas, Maldini of AC Milan and so on, this is the real power person in the locker room! The club dare to move them most of the time? Dare to go all out because of a decline in their performance? Will you make a decision to abandon the child when controversial?


    Ronaldinho''s character, free and unrestrained style, determines that he has no energy, no patience, no time in the locker room, to establish this kind of authority similar to the small circle class system in a team, he is careful about time and reserve energy To play football, if there is a wealthy person, he will have fun.


    And Aldridge came back this time to give Ronaldinho a free space, not to be able to surpass the sages to ascend to the throne of the ball, as long as he maintains his current state, as far as possible to maintain a balance between career and life, continue to Millwall played happy football, and the rest, Aldridge came to worry.


    ...


    One day later, coach Robson led Newcastle United, who was determined to impact the Champions League seat, to the Lion King Stadium.


    The stadium was full of seats, and the crowd was full 20 minutes before the start of the game. The lion fans turned this stadium into a carnival party.


    "Oh, hey!"


    "Oh, hey!"


    The fans of the whole lion shouted in rhythm in unison, as if not to watch the ball, but to watch a concert and warm up.


    Before the game started, the atmosphere was even hotter. Many fans dressed up carefully, painted blue mad lions on their faces, and pulled up hot banners. Smiles were everywhere. Excited people jumped on their shoulders and jumped back and forth. can not stop.


    The Lion King Stadium has never had such a crazy and passionate home atmosphere since this season!


    The game has not yet started.


    The silver-haired Robson saw Aldridge at the exit of the player tunnel. The young coach leaned against the door in a relaxed state.


    When he saw Robson approaching, Aldridge straightened up and walked over to shake hands with each other. Robson stopped talking, but found that Aldridge didn''t have a chat with him, just smiled politely, and then Aldridge Then he reached out.


    Two coaches, one old and one young, walked out of the player''s channel side by side. When they came to the sidelines, the fans of the lion burst out a "hey", startled Robson, and Aldridge reached out and helped him. The opponent didn''t have a problem and would not let go after slipping. The young handsome did not interact with the fans, even if the fans at the moment fell into a crazier state.


    Aldridge walked to the coach seat and sat down with his arms around his chest, sitting calmly and calmly waiting for the game to begin.


    In the player channel, captain Southgate led Millwall''s starting lineup to prepare to play. The little caddie in his hand was the oldest son of Aldridge, Burt, and Earl was held by Ronaldinho, from time to time. People frowned at each other, as if not worrying about the game at all.


    Only one of Millwall''s 11 players frowned, and seemed to be puzzled and worried about the game.


    Nesta.


    Nesta was a bit unlucky this season. He came to the team for half a year without playing a few games. In fact, he was injured at the beginning of the season. He can be raised in three months, but later the Millwall Medical Center found that he had some old There was no cure for the injury, so he spent half a year to convalesce, and Millwall treated the players with sincerity, regardless of utilitarian practices, and the principle of health first, Nesta was both admired and moved.


    But this also made him labeled as a parallel import.


    Because after his comeback, Millwall''s defense didn''t seem so solid. Just looking at the lost goals, his combination with Southgate was not as efficient as Southgate and Materazzi last season.


    The outside world is alarmist and will not study the boring game data, analyze the specific content of the game, most of them are catching the wind and catching the shadows, and getting a little one-sided theoretical basis will hype.


    Nesta is definitely stronger than Materazzi. After several games, Aldridge saw in his eyes that the money was not in vain. The problem is not that Nesta is responsible for the team.


    Just like the same team, when morale is low and morale is high, can the overall performance be the same?


    Nesta has a strong expectation for Aldridge''s return.


    Look at what the young marshal can do!


    However, in just three days, Nesta was a little disappointed because Aldridge did not seem to do anything.


    Training is the system of the Klinsmann era.


    The pre-match preparation meeting is also no different from the Klinsmann era.


    It can be said that in these three days, Aldridge was rectifying the discipline of the team and improving the atmosphere in the team through communication, but he did not show any trace of professional things in football.


    Nesta didn''t understand, so he could win?


    In this way, can Millwall return to Europe''s superb peak position?

 Chapter 915： Correct name, thanks

    Aldridge not only broke up with Fleet Street at the press conference yesterday, but also beat Fleet Street in the first game after the return!


    After Millwall and Newcastle United players entered the field, even the commentator felt incredible.


    "Uh, uh, uh, Andy, will I be dazzled? This scene on the field made me wonder, am I dreaming? I dreamt that Sir Hall returned to coach Millwall and now sits in Mill The man on Wall''s coach seat is actually Klinsmann?"


    "Haha, Martin, you are not dreaming. Look at the hot atmosphere of Lion King Stadium. Only Sir Hall can make this a veritable home of the devil in Europe, the home of hell!"


    The atmosphere at the scene was still extremely warm, and the fans were still shouting in unison with the rhythm of rock and roll.


    "Hoo, hey, ha, ha!"


    The on-site master of ceremonies began to introduce the players from both sides. This rhythm was interrupted. When the name of each Millwall player was pronounced, the audience cheered.


    "It''s weird. Fleet Street''s starting prediction for Millwall in this game, the formation style, all expected wrong! No one guesses, really, no one! Everyone thinks that Sir Hall''s first show after returning, will definitely There are changes, some people claim that it will be turned upside down, will knock down everything in Klinsmann, some people think that it may only need to fine-tune the formation lineup, but they all guessed wrong, Millwall, and a week ago at Old Trafford Germany''s starting line-up against Manchester United is exactly the same! The player''s starting position has not changed! Klose is still a center, Henry is still playing as a winger, Nedvide is still hitting the midfielder, Lampard is still the starting midfielder , And Larson, he is still sitting on the bench."


    "Maybe this game, Sir Hall is trying to prove something."


    "What does he need to prove? Is it better to prove that he is better than Klinsmann? Isn''t it funny? Need to prove it?"


    "No, no, of course it''s not a coaching ability, I guess, maybe this is also a counterattack on Fleet Street. You know, platoons like Klinsmann have been controversial for the past few months."


    That''s right, Millwall continued the starting lineup of the Klinsmann era in this game.


    433.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Nesta, Southgate, Ashley Cole.


    Midfielders: Alonso, Nedved, Lampard.


    Forwards: Henry, Klose, Ronaldinho.


    With such a formation, Millwall''s entire coaching staff may only be confused by the newly added Stella Maggioni.


    It is said that changing a coach is like changing a knife. It is counterintuitive for Aldrich to copy what the former coach did.


    However, he still focused on observing the game, hoping to figure out what he could not understand.


    Aldridge is like a transparent person, sitting on the coach seat, his expression is always flat and water, and his sitting position has not changed.


    The game, from the beginning, Millwall took the initiative to bombard Newcastle United.


    Presented in front of all the audience is a magnificent picture!


    Millwall''s team was running like a wind, the offense was as fast as lightning, and the ball was dazzling! It''s as if the gaze can''t keep up!


    The most obvious change in playing Manchester United with the last one is the player''s attitude, enthusiasm, unrestrained and wild!


    It seems that every player is full of vitality, playing a raging offensive frenzy!


    Frequently seen pictures are Nesta, Southgate, and Alonso defending in the midfield and backcourt, and even if the forward attack is blocked, facing the intensive defense of Newcastle United, the attacked Nedved is still Ronaldinho and Henry with two wings will take the initiative to pass the ball back to Alonso, give him a transfer, reorganize the attack, and this transfer ball with Nedved a small pressure, Lampard in The front waistline is too fixed, and the frequency is playing faster and faster, faster and faster!


    Smooth and comfortable and dazzling!


    "This, this is incredible! The same set of technical and tactical systems, although playing Manchester United is away, playing Newcastle United is home, but such a threat of oppression, and the smoothness of the entire system, the contrast is so huge! What magic does Sir Hall have?"


    In the 9th minute, Henry returned Schneider behind him, Schneider then transferred the ball to Ronaldinho.


    Ronaldinho just touched the ball, and there were two players next to him.


    Why has Ronaldinho''s performance declined this season?


    In addition to pressure, there are real factors in the arena.


    After the World Cup, his fame has reached the apex, and it can be called the top of the world. The fact is that every opponent of Millwall will study Ronaldinho''s playing characteristics and then carry out a tighter defense than before!


    In the same period when the morale of the team fell and did not stimulate vitality, Ronaldinho did not get enough support, fell into intensive defense, and was continuously felled, his performance will naturally decline, bluntly, in the past opponents used 1-2 Individuals come to mark him, and now it is 2-3 people. It is conceivable to increase the difficulty. On this factor, he himself has no problems.


    Even if Millwall runs the game at a very fast rate, Ronaldinho takes the ball, and there are still two opponents around him to press for it. It can be imagined that Robson''s deployment to mark Ronaldinho definitely gave the team some death. Commands, such as some players sacrificing area defense, focus more on marking!


    Ronaldinho didn''t make a forcible breakthrough after stopping the ball, knocking back to Nedved, who ran over to meet, and he ran forward to the right. Nedved kicked the ball and passed the ball back to Ronaldinho. Simple Two to one, although Ronaldinho didn''t let the defensive players get rid of completely, Ronaldinho has run out of enough space and has the vision of observing his teammates'' running position while running.


    He kept the ball and made a diagonal pass over the middle of the foot. The ball crossed the curve from the left side of the front court and flew diagonally to the right side of the penalty area of ??Newcastle United!


    The ball was not high, but soon, the Newcastle United defender jumped to the top in a hurry, and behind him, Henry Nene slashed it, perfectly unloading the ball, and immediately kicked a diagonal shot to the goal!


    Newcastle United City Gate declared lost!


    The Lion King Stadium cheered, and seemed to shake the mountain.


    Henry pointed to Ronaldinho, and then ran around the side of the court with a cold expression to celebrate, a domineering one who wanted to be alone.


    Aldridge still didn''t change his face.


    In the 21st minute, Ronaldinho drew back after getting the ball in the frontcourt. The player defending him was unwittingly seduce by him. Nedvedra ran up and Ronaldinho''s heel passed, Nedvi Germany got the ball on the left and dribbling forward and back attracted the central defender to assist. He then passed the ball to Klose at the center position. The latter stopped the ball and did it. Lampard was unmarked outside the penalty area. After preparing well, the long shot Huang Ru shells flew out and blasted the goal of Newcastle United!


    In the 39th minute, Nedvide forced the ball forward, Lampard attracted the opponent''s defense, Ronaldinho also took the initiative to run to the center, and passed three consecutive passes with Nedved, then returned to Alonso The latter passed the ball to the right from the middle and long distance. The defensive pressure on the side began to decline when Millwall disrupted the middle. At this time, Henry dribbled the ball one-on-one and successfully crossed the middle after entering the penalty area. Klose took the ball in front of the goal and sent the ball into the opponent''s gate.


    "3:0, the first half is not over, Millwall has already led by three goals! Newcastle United is completely defeated! Their offense can not even pass the half, today''s game is Millwall''s half-court drill! Nesta, Southgate, and Alonso, although there are few defensive players, Millwall¡¯s defensive players each have a sense of presence. Every time Newcastle United tries to use sneak attacks to make the Mad Lions pay the price, they will be Millwall¡¯s defensive player ended in the half, not to mention Lampard. Nedved made it difficult for them to organize the pass in the middle. Schneider and Ashley Cole aggressively pressed In order to successfully suppress the opponent''s wing, Newcastle United wanted to fight back from the wing, but there weren''t even a player on the wing, and their offensive players were withdrawn to defend, but they couldn''t stop the crush of the crazy lion!"


    Robson knew that even with the same lineup, the pressure on the team led by Klinsmann was very different from the team led by Aldridge.


    However, he still didn''t expect that after almost losing the hope of defending the league, when Millwall''s morale was at its lowest, it actually made Newcastle United, who was determined to hit the top four, helpless!


    When the game reached 80 minutes in the second half, the score on the field was already 5:0. Newcastle United were dead in the second half and could not stop the Millwall players from playing personally. When Ronaldinho fell for the third time in the penalty area, the referee Finally, the penalty kick was blown, and Schneider''s rim and bottom suddenly did not pass but took the ball inward and then vigorously passed the goal in front of the goal, creating a Newcastle United defensive player swinging an own goal.


    The court said that the team that put the bus was despising.


    In today''s game, Millwall compressed Newcastle United into the penalty area!


    The oppression of the crazy lion is so horrible!


    One goal lead, five goals lead, Aldridge''s expression has changed a bit.


    Until the end of the game, Aldridge turned his head to look at a camera on the side of the court, and a ridiculous smile was outlined in the corner of his mouth.


    He was mocking Fleet Street and the critics who criticized Millwall''s flawed technical and tactical system.


    Who says football formation, tactics must be composed of fixed roles?


    Without a defensive midfielder, you will definitely lose?


    A few decades ago, the Dutch created the majestic concept of full-attack and full-defense football. Decades have passed, and are you still entangled in a role?


    Millwall is not without problems, nor can it be criticized. Objective and fair criticism is good for the development of the team, but if it is rude accusation, lest the world is not chaotic, then there is no need to give the opponent a good face. .


    There is no fixed technique and tactics that can be successfully applied to all teams, and Klinsmann created a technical and tactical system that does not have a full-time defensive midfielder. Is there absolutely a problem?


    Not necessarily, because there is no defensive midfielder at all is not the key, the key is the quality of defense.


    Alonso Ganedved is not a defensive midfielder, but will they not defend? Will they let Millwall''s midfielder keep his opponent on the ground?


    On the contrary, this set of techniques and tactics may only be applicable to Millwall, because Millwall''s offensive firepower is too powerful, there are many offensive players, and there are many offensive means, which can be further developed by attacking and defending.


    This game is a classic. Newcastle United must invest more troops in defense and must draw back deeper. Millwall¡¯s two central defenders in the backcourt are not the kind of players who have a rigid mentality. They must deal with Newcastle United¡¯s limited Counterattacks, sometimes seemingly bold and aggressive pressure, are actually the most correct.


    Fleet Street has been criticizing for several months. How Millwall''s technical and tactical system is flawed is actually not an idea. The criticism is to defame the criticism.


    This is a set of ideal technical and tactical systems, and cannot be labeled as a failure. However, in the eyes of Aldridge, from the perspective of long-term development, such a tactical system, the overall score is not the highest.


    Because in an ideal situation, it is based on attack instead of defense. When it is played to the extreme, it does not even need to defend the whole team, because the opponent is defending all the way, not daring to attack, for fear of exposing its own defense line.


    However, the ideal is the ideal after all, in case, the attacker you rely on most is injured?


    For example, Ronaldinho and Henry were injured at the same time, then the foundation of this system will be shaken.


    That''s why we need a defensive midfielder to improve fault tolerance, stability, and prepare for possible difficulties!


    It is meaningless to criticize in vain.


    In this game, Aldridge, in the name of Klinsmann, justified his failed coaching in the Premier League!


    Klinsmann was a failure.


    But by no means in the technical and tactical field!


    Fleet Street, your criticisms are all shit!


    Far from the other side of the ocean, in the afternoon of England, Klinsmann sat at home and watched Millwall''s game all the way. After turning off the TV, he gently wiped the wetness from the corners of his eyes and murmured in a low voice. Road: "Audrich, thank you."

 Chapter 916： A miracle is happening?

    The 34th round of the 2002-2003 Premier League ended.


    In the wild celebration of crazy lion fans, Millwall sent away the visiting magpies with 5 goals.


    Manchester United beat violent Ben 3-1 at Old Trafford.


    Arsenal defeated Middlesbrough with two goals on the riverside.


    With four rounds left in the Premier League, Millwall is still ranked third in the standings, still 4 points away from the top two.


    At the end of the game, Millwall continued the tradition of thanking the home fans. Compared with some routines in the past, after the game today, all players on the court felt heartily and spit out their hearts, all released.


    All fans also believe that the haze over the Lion King Stadium will completely disappear!


    Nesta held Southgate in his left hand and Alonso in his right, waving his arms to the fans on the sidelines to thank them.


    He didn''t realize that until the end of the game, Millwall really didn''t change much. So far he still can''t feel the substantive reforms of this team by Aldridge. Even Aldridge did not command on the sidelines.


    But that''s it. The feeling of kicking the game is very different from before.


    The whole team is alive and well, and even he was able to immerse himself in the backcourt defense. The guard''s job is often a heartbeat.


    A moment of success, a momentary success or failure, will have a decisive impact on the overall trend of the game. Guards, like walking on the tightrope, outsiders can not experience the short-term thrilling, that walks at the critical point of victory and defeat, death and survival The excitement.


    He played extremely happily in this game. In fact, there is no defender who does not make mistakes, and no defender is really a husband. When Guan Wanmo is open, world-class defenders like Nesta will also make mistakes, but today¡¯s 90 Minutes, only to let his opponent rush in front of him for the first time, he turned around and saw Southgate''s imminently strangling the other party''s offensive in the final link, and the thrilled Nesta wanted to laugh in the sky.


    And Newcastle United counterattacked some counterattacks. When Nesta turned and looked worriedly, he could see the German goalkeeper rushing to the edge of the penalty area without giving the opponent any chance. It seemed to be playing heartbeat, but always let the opponent see Hope, strangling hope with your own hands, this feeling, as if dominated and ruled, refreshing!


    When leaving the Lion King Stadium, Nesta really began to have strong expectations for the future development of the crazy lion''s career.


    Aldrich left the club without an interview after the game. When he returned home, his two sons discussed Millwall''s game happily, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was much more active.


    Aldrich realized at this time that his life was caught in a paradoxical cycle of death.


    He loves his son, but his son also loves Millwall. In the most common way, in order to please the two sons and make them happy, Audridge really wants to make Millwall better and always good...


    Three days later, the Premier League Express.


    Aldridge led the team still fighting at the Lion King Stadium.


    On this day, he left Fleet Street speechless.


    Perhaps many reporters have already insulted Aldridge a hundred times in secret!


    Millwall swept Newcastle United with 5 goals, Fleet Street did not deal with Aldridge, and shamelessly credited this credit to Klinsmann!


    It is said that this is Klinsmann¡¯s legacy, the technical and tactical system left behind, and the tone of voice has changed, so it is inevitable to quibble about it.


    So he began to throw out conspiracy theories.


    This technical and tactical system is very strong, but the Millwall locker room has already planned to knock down Klinsmann''s table, the team did not work, and wanted to force Aldridge to return!


    Fleet Street is mixed with dragons and dragons. Anyway, this conspiracy theory is very popular. The controversy surrounding Millwall has not disappeared. Only the fans of the Lions don¡¯t buy it. They think Fleet Street has always been shit.


    And Fleet Street just praised the set of "Klinsmann''s precious heritage", only three days later, when Millwall played at home against Middlesbrough, this "legacy" was sent to the grave by Aldridge .


    When sending away the magpie, Millwall also completely sent off Klinsmann. Aldridge justified Klinsmann with his omissions in the competitive field in the early days of the return, regardless of whether the outside world can see, he does not care , His heart can be expressed.


    So now, we must re-enter the era of Audridge.


    "Today, Millwall¡¯s starting lineup has changed significantly from before. The first one is the veteran Larson returning to the starting line! At the scene, when the master of ceremonies pronounced Larson¡¯s name, the cheers and applause broke out on the scene like a wave of waves. There is no stopping trend, Millwall fans can never forget the hero king, he returned to the starter, returned to the fans'' vision, Larson will also burn his energy for the crazy lion and contribute everything to him! One change is that Nedvide returned to the front waist position, Lampard was placed on the bench, the other two midfielders, Alonso continued to start, and he was accompanied by Italian De Rossi, which An Italian had a good performance and growth last season, but this season lacked performance opportunities. I only heard that he performed very well in the reserve league. He led the Millwall reserve team to lock the reserve league championship early, see In the construction of Sir Hall''s new generation of mad lions, De Rossi, Alonso, Lampard and the three will compete fiercely in the midfield."


    In fact, the real reform has not yet begun.


    But one thing will not change, that is the philosophy.


    The second generation of mad lions sweeping Europe relied on offensive, especially in the attacking group of four, led by Ronaldinho, Nedved, Larson, and Henry.


    Since this is successful, you should continue to insist, even if Nedved and Larson are older, the tacit agreement over the next few years, and the richer experience, so that they will be trusted by Aldridge Players, especially Larson and Nedved, are known for their long career lives and good conditions at the end of their careers.


    It should be noted that in 1998, Aldridge did not have to worry about the future of the position they occupied. Even if there was an injury, as long as it was not a serious injury, it was usually enough for someone to overdo it, but now, it can''t think like this.


    It¡¯s now 03, and the more the state and energy of Nedved and Larson will go down, the number of games that can be persisted will not decrease significantly, but in order to improve the quality of the game, their playing time will be Year by year gradually and gradually declined.


    Then, in their position, what is to be prepared is not a substitute for the usual emergency, but a crown prince who can succeed the next two or three years!


    Larson''s successor will undoubtedly be Ronaldo.


    And Nedved''s successor, Aldridge is now uncertain between Lampard and Kaka. The former B2B is more similar to Nedved, and the latter has a stronger offensive ability. To put it bluntly, it is a point for The balanced impact of the entire team system.


    However, he is not in a hurry, and he still has time to investigate. Millwall''s main force will ultimately need to compete for strength. Will it work? Look at the effect and look at the strength performance.


    Middlesbrough is now ranked in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League. It has landed steadily and can''t rush forward anymore. At the end of the season, the team''s combat power has always been determined by its will to determine its strength. Middlesbrough lacks the will and is away. Fight, at the Lion King Stadium, surrender early in the first half.


    In this game, Aldridge stood on the sidelines. There were not many games left this season. He did not plan to change the team at this time. He just returned the team to the second-generation mad lion system. This season, start reforming again.


    He is mainly investigating the team''s midfield and backcourt defense system today, and he is gratified that even though he has not played a few times for the first team this season, De Rossi''s status has not been dropped, only compared to last season''s The rate of progress has declined, but in the reserve team, it has long been the strength of the standing group.


    He and Alonso partner, the future defensive hardness, will exceed the second-generation mad lion Gattuso and Pirlo combination, because Alonso itself is stronger than Pirlo''s defensive ability.


    Think about the development trend of football. The modern winger group is about to lead the way. The defensive barrier in front of the guard line will be higher. The animal waist will become more mainstream.


    Millwall will continue to develop on the basis of the offensive frenzy in the past, and the hardness of the midfield defense will be higher than in the past.


    When the game reached the 88th minute, Aldridge was already sitting on the coach''s seat, the score was 3:0, Millwall won the game without suspense.


    The loud singing on the stadium stands was suddenly interrupted, and a burst of ecstatic cheers erupted suddenly.


    "2:2. The score between Manchester United and Arsenal became 2:2. If the final score doesn''t change anymore, then Millwall will be only 2 points away from the top of the list! Only 2 points!"


    Obviously the fans in the stands are also paying attention to the first battle between Manchester United and Arsenal.


    No matter who wins or loses the two teams, with 3 rounds left in the league, Millwall is 4 points away, then Millwall basically has no possibility of catching up with the top of the list, but if it is 2 points, as long as In the last three games, Millwall won, and in three games between Manchester United and Arsenal, as long as there is one game that cannot be won, even if it is a draw, the final championship will be Millwall, because of the goal difference, Millwall has Very big advantage!


    At the end of the game at Lion King Stadium, Aldridge turned directly into the player¡¯s tunnel, while Millwall¡¯s players stayed on the court, waiting for the final result from Highbury.


    "Manchester United and Arsenal drew! Highbury''s game ended, 2:2, the score will not change again!"


    Fans in the stands of Lion King Stadium cheered, and Millwall players smiled.


    Using the sour report on Fleet Street the next day: Is Millwall really creating another miracle?


    Whether there will be a miracle, Aldridge does not know, and he does not have too many expectations, because destiny is not in his own hands, he only focuses on the current work.


    The Europa League semi-finals struck as scheduled.

 Chapter 917： Who is strong?

    Although the return of Aldridge was a bit unpleasant with Fleet Street first, the media is still quite welcome in the whole environment of UEFA.


    Before leaving Glasgow, at the UEFA pre-match press conference, Audridge smiled and was asked by reporters about the idea of ??Millwall leaving the group as the defending champion of the Champions League this season. Answered a sentence.


    "This is not necessarily a bad thing, because now we have the hope to make the club honor a grand slam."


    At this time, the UEFA media circle realized that: in the honor of Millwall Club, swept across England, three European Cups have already won two, the European Winners Cup, the European Champions Cup, if you count it tasteless The European Super Cup, the Toyota Cup, the only honor that has not been received, only one UEFA Cup!


    Due to the development of European football, the European Cup Winners¡¯ Cup has been closed. This represents a team that has never been involved in this honor before, and it is unlikely that it will receive this honor in the future.


    Of course, it can''t be said how glorious the European Cup of Winners is, it can only be said that in the history of the club, it is a bragging capital to win three big cups, and it is better than nothing.


    No strong team will deliberately go to the UEFA Cup for the Grand Slam, but since it has reached this point, Aldridge''s relaxed and optimistic attitude still admires the outside world.


    At least he did not show a kind of contempt, or high above, as if Millwall should belong to the Champions League stage, the reality is so, accept the reality, and then face optimistically and positively, it is an alternative kind of hard work, always hanging his face Disdain to be stronger.


    It¡¯s just that the ¡°achievement of a grand slam¡± in the mouth of the less handsome makes European media feel more or less fooled.


    Because Millwall''s roster for Glasgow''s big list, most of the main force is excluded, obviously with a group of baby soldiers rushed to Scotland.


    The song "You Never Walk Alone" echoes in the Celtic Park Stadium, and the Scottish giants Celtic sit at home and wait for Millwall to come.


    Aldrich now finds that he can see acquaintances wherever he goes, at least no stranger.


    Celtics coach Martin O''Neill took the initiative to greet his arrival on the sidelines. The two shook hands lovingly and gave each other joy.


    O''Neill said to Aldridge in the past that he left Leicester City to coach the Celtics. Maybe he will meet with Aldridge again in the future. It must be on the stage of the Champions League.


    It''s just that the Celtics did not dare to compliment the competitiveness of the Champions League. He did not expect that it was not the Celtics who entered the Champions League and met Millwall, but that Millwall fell from the Champions League and made the two old friends again. Field contest.


    "What kind of UEFA Cup do you want? The Glasgow Rangers have a tendency to turn over this year. Let''s be honest in the league to defend."


    Before coming, Aldridge just glanced at the Celtics in a hurry.


    O''Neal led the Celtics to suppress the Glasgow Rangers in the league for two years. Last season, Millwall won the championship undefeated. The Celtics also won the championship unbeaten by one step. O''Neill''s team is in the league. He lost one game in the game and got 103 points that made Glasgow Rangers desperate.


    This season, the Celtics are distracted by the European War. The Glasgow Rangers have gone further than last year. The two teams are now on par. It is hard to say who will win the championship.


    Listening to Audridge''s unwilling words, O''Neill also sneered: "Millwall doesn''t even need the League Cup. What is the Grand Slam, maybe the last three rounds of the Premier League can be reversed, and stay in the league to fight for the title. Ah, in that case, Aldridge, your legend, will add a new page of glory."


    Aldrich spread his hands innocently: "Did you not see that I was indeed staying power? Otherwise, what kind of Millwall would you think would kill Glasgow?"


    "I¡­¡­"


    Martin Onenton was speechless and his expression depressed.


    Looking at the list of players Millwall came to visit this time, it is clear that Millwall really did not come up with all the strength.


    Seeing O''Neill''s bickering, Odrich turned away with a chuckle.


    "Leave a drink after the game."


    O''Neill yelled, O''Dridge did not turn around and raised his hand to make an OK gesture.


    Going to the coach of the visiting team to stand, Aldridge in suit and leather and Martin O''Neill in sportswear next door went into working condition.


    Players from both teams played.


    Millwall''s lineup today was booed by Celtics home fans!


    His mother, all in the semi-finals!


    Crazy Lion actually sent a second team!


    I don¡¯t know if I look down on the League Cup or the Scottish giants!


    "Guest Millwall sent a lot of young players today, let''s take a look at the starting lineup.


    Goalkeeper: Palyuka.


    Defenders: Johnson, Neil, Thiago Silva, Baines.


    Midfielders: De Rossi, Lampard, Kaka.


    Forwards: C Ronaldo, Villa, Ramor.


    There are only a few people who are familiar to us in the European War in the past. Players like Johnson, Silva and De Rossi are very foreign to them, but Sir Hall is always known for his bold appointment of young players. Maybe they will grow rapidly under pressure, and they will become the stars of European football in the future. "


    The Celtics also have Millwall''s old man, forward Luca Tony.


    The Italian big man who was brought to Leicester City by O''Neal followed O''Neal to Scotland, and has been mixed in the past three years. He is a hero in the hearts of Celtic fans. In less than three seasons, A hundred goals!


    This season has also performed well in the Europa League. Although the top scorer in the Europa League has basically no weight, his scoring goal has attracted the attention of many strong European teams.


    The Scottish team takes short-pass team cooperation as the technical and tactical tradition. In this respect, England should be ashamed. The English style tends to be wide open and wide open, and Scotland is known for its delicate ground transmission. The Celtics are also good at this aspect. They play well, especially when Tony is on the front line, but they don¡¯t play high shots frequently, and they go to the ground to pass. Tony has a strong ability to control the ball on the front line, especially in the restricted area. The ball then got rid of the defender and shot, more smoothly than in the past when in England.


    Aldridge looked a little helpless on the sidelines. Millwall''s game rhythm did not change, stemming from people who did not control the rhythm.


    From the beginning of Pirlo''s stabilization of the main team, he experimented with letting Lampard play an organizational midfielder to play for Pirlo''s bench, but the effect has always been bad, so from then on, he also broke off. Pad''s idea of ??being a midfielder.


    But today, knowing clearly that the results are not good, but still let Lampard hit the midfielder, without his delay, as long as he undertakes the organizational task, it is all right.


    Lampard''s midfield organization ability is definitely there, but it is too formulaic, and basically can be foreseen, and he likes to advance, only the area in front of the penalty area is his most threatening zone.


    Coming to a team at Millwall level requires not only the creative talent of the midfield organizer, which is also a clich¨¦ "magic pass", but also the ability of the midfield organizer to control the rhythm. When is it fast and when Slow, this is very important for the overall rule of the game.


    If it is mainly counterattacks, the requirements for organizational talent will not be particularly high, because of the counterattack conditions, one of them must be weakened by the opponent¡¯s defense, and the other is that the offensive space is broader. Therefore, in the English national team, Lampard The performance is excellent, and the actual positional battle to create is either a long pass from Beckham¡¯s pen, or Scholes¡¯s wonderful straight pass. Lampard always bears the formula of excessive response, not The main offensive organizer.


    When the rhythm could not be changed, Millwall''s offense seemed too easy to be foreseen.


    Aldridge walked back to the coach seat and sat down. He turned to Jenson and said: "Next season will require a midfielder replacement. Alonso''s replacement is only one of him. It is not enough. It does not matter if you are younger."


    In the internal information database of Millwall Club, the information that scouts observe around the world is updated every quarter at the same time, so that Millwall can select talents.


    Most of the time, they can replenish blood internally, but there are also times when it comes to role players.


    Jenson thought about it, probably realizing what a major change.


    Stramaggioni raised her ears and listened, asking in surprise: "We have Lampard and Alonso, isn''t that enough?"


    Aldrich shook his head and said: "Lampard is not an organization midfielder, at least, not the organization midfielder I need."


    Jenson sighed and said to Stella Maggioni: "Millwall used to run smoothly in the past. The outside world said that the dual-core, the center and backcourt is mainly Pirlo, Ronaldinho in the frontcourt. Nedved has organizational skills, but no one will praise his organizational ability, because in the front waist position, what he needs is his assault ability, tandem ability, organizational work, not what he is doing. Lampard''s problem That is, when he went to take Pirlo¡¯s position, he was not creative enough, and he likes to insert forwards, which squeezed the space of the players in front and also conflicted with the role of Ronaldinho. If you put him on the front waist In terms of position, he can''t compare with Nedved for the time being, but Alonso can take Pirlo''s position. Although he can''t match Pirlo in talent, his defensive ability will bring other advantages."


    Stramagioni realized, and asked Aldridge: "In your eyes, Alonso is better than Lampard?"


    Aldridge glanced at him and said with a smile: "Look at you, thinking you understand, you still don''t understand. This is not a question of who is strong and who is weak. What I want is a good organization in the midfield and backcourt. Players, or, I want an organizational midfielder, not a vigorous B2B all-around midfielder. Almighty is not necessarily the best. England has many players who claim to be all-around, but all players are sent on the field. Do you think it will be strong? If you still don¡¯t understand, I ask you, who do you think Villa and Baines, Johnson, are strong?"


    Stramaggioni replied subconsciously: "Of course it''s Villa, no, no, no, no, you can''t ask that, they are not the same type of player, Villa is a striker, Baines and Johnson are How can a defender compare?"


    Aldridge asked again: "What is the difference between your previous question? B2B all-round midfielder and organizational midfielder are comparable?"


    Although the all-round midfield is the trend of football development, it does not mean that all-round is really invincible.


    In the team''s technical and tactical system, there must still be a clear plan for various roles, otherwise, the system will be chaotic, just like, England is not compatible with double Germany, and the same situation.


    The all-round development is reflected in the player''s technical characteristics and responsibility, just like Millwall''s midfield. In the past, Gattuso, Pirlo, Nedved, and offense. All three actually took on the task, but the responsibilities were clearly distributed. , Gattuso focused on defense, to respond when attacking, Pirlo''s main task is to organize offense, when defending, even if the technical ability is weak, but also have to take responsibility, not to mention Nedved, not to mention when attacking, when defending Never stop running and intercept.


    The new generation of mad lions still have to strengthen the versatility of the midfield.


    However, on the basis of omnipotence, there must be a clear division of roles.


    De Rossi, Alonso, Nedved.


    The main responsibility allocation is consistent with the second-generation mad lion architecture.


    However, the comprehensiveness of offense and defense, that is, omnipotence, the third generation will be stronger than the second generation, that is to say, there will be no particularly bad people in the offense, and there will not be a glance like Pirlo when defending Seeing through the weaknesses, this is the trend of all-round development.


    In the three roles, Lampard is the first defensive midfielder, he can¡¯t take it, and the second kind he can¡¯t compete with Alonso. In line with his, it should be the third kind, which is Nedvi De''s position, at least in the Millwall system, if he wants to be in position, he can only pass Nedved, so Stella Magioni''s problem is wrong, Lampard and Alonso , Who is strong? Ten thousand people may have an answer of 55, or 64 or 73, but is that important? In Aldrich''s eyes, it is not important, because Lampard''s opponent is not Alonso, but Nedved, and Kaka at the same time.

 Chapter 918： stressed

    In the absence of field control rhythm, Millwall went to Glasgow this time. Although the scene did not fall, he obviously lost to the Celtics in experience. At the end of the 90-minute battle, the Celtics fans were Luca. Tony cheered, the score of 2:1 on the scoreboard did not reassure them, but since they won Millwall, should we cry?


    Millwall lost more obviously on this side. De Rossi was not skilled enough in the midfield, but he made Brazilian wild boy Tiago Silva a bad luck. He was once slammed by Tony and broke into Tony. Let the opponent out of the air when the shot is successful, it really looks embarrassed.


    Silva is frustrated. This is his second first-team game in the new season. The results can be described as disaster.


    He is afraid that he will leave a bad impression on the new coach.


    For him, Aldridge is a new coach. Before, he was inconspicuous in the team. He was ridiculed by Fleet Street to "genius". He was really a bit worried about the future career development trajectory.


    Perhaps, it may soon leave the European giants and become a state where there is no ball to play.


    But on the way back to London, Aldridge was sitting next to him, which really made him uneasy, but Aldridge didn¡¯t blame him at all. Instead, he seemed like an elder recalling the past years and nagging around him Nagging all the way.


    It''s just that in this nagging language, Aldridge put Southgate, Elgra, Stam, Materazzi, Neil, etc. as long as Millwall''s defender, especially in the middle. Defender, telling Tiago Silva jokingly about the mistakes they made on the court, including Materazzi''s temper, a chrysanthemum burst, and Vieira in Millwall The first show of the first show was eaten with a red card and ended.


    Silva couldn''t help laughing only after ten minutes of nervousness.


    A coach like Aldridge must have a more detailed history than media reports, and he gave Silva a joke about those famous football players, which directly relieved Silva''s pressure.


    When they returned to London, Aldridge had finished what he had to say. Anyway, he said nothing about the game, and Silva, in addition to her heart, also learned from the first lesson personally taught by Aldridge a lot of.


    The defender is the life of "work dirty and do not want to live", want to go to the sky without making mistakes? Stop dreaming.


    It doesn''t matter if you make mistakes. You can learn the truth and improve yourself to have a future.


    Fleet Street celebrates Millwall''s defeat!


    "Tiago Silva was crushed by Tony! This is the''genius'' introduced by Mad Lion this season!"


    "After the return of Sir Hall, the third game was declared a loss. Is Mad Lion still imagining a grand slam?


    "O''Neill gave a lesson to Sir Hall!"


    It seems that Fleet Street is more willing than anyone else to see Millwall planting his head, can fall into the rocks, and can turn back to counter the warning of Aldridge.


    This week''s Premier League is the penultimate round.


    The schedule is very delicate.


    Arsenal will be the first to debut in the early game.


    Millwall debuted with the Premier League players at prime time.


    At the end, Manchester United will be the finale of the White Hart Lane.


    The top three competitions for the championship group are not at the same time.


    Play early or late?


    God knows.


    Arsene Wenger did it after Arsenal was tied at home by Bolton, and then fired at the back of the horse, attacking the FA''s schedule, making Arsenal the first to debut, under great pressure!


    Arsenal continued their last game after Highbury failed to win Manchester United and suffered two consecutive draws!


    At this level, the situation of the Premier League competing for the championship has undergone tremendous changes.


    The wild lion game started half an hour after the Arsenal game.


    At this time, Aldridge has led his team to Manchester.


    Of course, they are not challenging Manchester United, but Manchester United''s rival, Manchester City.


    At Maine Road Stadium, Aldridge and the team learned the Arsenal report.


    Millwall will be naturally encouraged.


    Thanks Arsenal, you are off the chain!


    Meeting with his old friend Keegan on the court, Aldridge shook hands with each other, talked about each other, and then went to work.


    Keegan must be a capable coach, otherwise, it is impossible to lead the Magpies to the top of the Premier League, and it is impossible for the FA to take a lap in the national team.


    Last season led Manchester City to the Premier League, this season has reached the final stage, Manchester City ranked 8th in the league!


    It is enough to show Keegan''s ability to coach.


    While Manchester City still has Chinese elements, there is a player named Sun Jihai in the main defender.


    However, the limitation for Manchester City is that they are not a team with ambitions, championship genes, and strong team heritage. The position in the league is comfortable, no matter how high, they can¡¯t climb up and down, and they don¡¯t want to fall. Where to go.


    So, when Millwall came to visit with the determination to counterattack the defending champion, although Manchester City played conservatively, they still could not resist Millwall''s offensive firepower.


    At the end of the game, the scoreboard is 0:2.


    Henry and Nedved each made a difference, not only helped Millwall score 3 points, but also returned Millwall to the top of the standings!


    Now, in the Premier League standings, Millwall and Arsenal share the same point, ranking first with a goal difference, Arsenal second, Manchester United one game behind one point behind.


    In a live interview with the BBC after the game, the reporter repeated Wenger''s complaints and wanted to hear Audridge''s views.


    "I don¡¯t think it matters. It¡¯s absolutely fair to start the game at the same time, but if it¡¯s good to play early or late, I would rather finish the game earlier so that we can go home from the road earlier and let the players rest early. Ha ha."


    Aldridge''s words came from the heart, but the media interpreted this as his satire on Wenger.


    Millwall returns to the top!


    Fleet Street is going crazy.


    The mad lion''s face was beaten, making them too faceless.


    There is really no way to get a crazy lion.


    Anyway, as long as there is news about Millwall, nowadays Fleet Street itself is somewhat uncertain, because it is increasingly lacking in "authenticity", predicting that their changes will all fail, predicting that they will be stable, and they will take the initiative to change again. The mad lion dynasty collapsed, and this mother-in-law had only gone through three rounds, and Millwall returned to the top!


    Cheer up your Manchester United, come on!


    Manchester United, who debuted one day later, Ferguson now has a scalp tingling, feeling his heart is about to explode!


    Alsena Wenger, don''t fart!


    What is the pressure to hit first!


    Manchester United finally came on stage, you come to feel the pressure of feeling!


    If you can''t win, you must watch Mad Lion sit firmly on the top of the list!


    For many years in a row, the second-year red devil is a military service in White Hart Lane. Ferguson has repeatedly excitedly commanded the team to fight on the sidelines. It looks like it is facing a game that determines the championship!


    In fact, in Ferguson, Aldridge and Wenger, everyone understands that every battle is a championship battle!


    Although the team that lost the chain still has a chance behind, the morale blow and psychological fluctuations will make the team no longer possible to turn over. Especially, your mistakes will encourage competitors!


    When the game at White Hart Lane ended, Ferguson''s face flushed, his short hair was crooked a lot, and he was sweating and he was about to collapse.


    The Red Devils will roar with passion!


    They return to the top of the list!


    2:0 scored Tottenham away away!


    In the 36th round of the Premier League, Arsenal dropped third in the league, Millwall ranked second with the same score, and both teams trailed Manchester United by 2 points.


    Aldrich doesn''t have much psychological fluctuations about this. The league is not a knockout game. Even if you curse your competitor Razi madly in your heart, it will have no effect.


    Especially behind the two teams Manchester United and Arsenal at the beginning, both opponents are thin, the probability is not large.


    In the middle of the week, Aldridge ushered in a return visit from the Celtics at the Lion King Stadium.

 ~： In the second round, Aldridge sent the strongest lineup.

    O''Neill had a hunch before that, with a team like Millwall, even in the small stage of the UEFA Cup, even in the semi-finals, staying in the battle to determine victory or defeat is also emboldened.


    Especially after the first guest and then the main player, they left the decisive battle at home, which increased the odds.


    Martin O''Neal at Lion King Stadium, as if returning to the days of coaching in the Premier League, he led the Celtics to Leicester City, facing the powerful Millwall, can only come up with the only choice: extreme defense anti!


    When Ronaldinho took a corner in the 23rd minute of the game and Nesta scored a header in the penalty area, the Lion King Stadium was boiling like water.


    "Nesta scored his first goal after joining Millwall! This is a golden goal! The total score of Millwall and the Celtics is 2:2, but Millwall has the advantage of being a guest. , Temporarily leading!"


    O''Neill was crying without tears on the sidelines, and the game was completely out of control.


    If the Celtics are to advance, they can''t die.


    If you don¡¯t die, you¡¯re going to be ravaged by a mad lion!


    The Celtics tried to press, Tony could abuse Silva under the age of 20, but did nothing in front of Nesta and Southgate. De Rossi still had flaws, but there were two great gods behind him, He didn''t have any pressure, he raced to his heart''s content, and relieved all his worries. This is the best room for growth!


    Before the end of the first half and the first half of the second half, Millwall expanded the score to 3:0, Audrey Mingjin withdrew his troops, replaced Larsson with a young Robben scored a goal, and then Nedved Withdrew, gave Kaka a chance.


    As soon as he changed people, the Celtics scored a goal. Seeing as long as they scored another goal, the situation could be reversed. The Celtics made a big push, and Millwall''s speed advantage was extremely terrifying.


    When Kaka, Robben, and Henry all responded to Ronaldinho''s over-the-top pass and succeeded in an offside offense, the three of them seemed to take off their wild horses to the opponent''s penalty area, and the Celtics'' guard turned around as if half a century had passed Then, watching three Millwall players sprint halftime.


    Robben was very dedicated and did not pass the ball into the penalty area. He was directly blocked by the opponent''s goalkeeper. Fortunately, Kaka and Henry were not offside when he shot. Kaka made a shot and sent the ball into the goal. Waste this golden opportunity.


    O''Dridge invited O''Neill to be a guest at home after the game. O''Neill shook his head with his mouth flat, and looked quite wronged.


    Aldridge shouted behind him: "Hello, don''t be like this. When I lost in Glasgow a week ago, I didn''t refuse your invitation."


    O''Neal turned around and said bitterly, "Come on, the Celtics have the same points as the Glasgow Rangers in the league. Now who will fight for the goal difference in the last two rounds of the league, how can I be in the mood?"


    Aldrich understood this, and raised his eyebrows to wish him good luck.


    Millwall reached the UEFA Cup final this season!


    This is no big news.


    People pay more attention to the Premier League''s fight for the championship.


    The FA does not know whether it is intentional or unintentional.


    In the last round Wenger complained about the game time, this round really adjusted.


    Manchester United took the lead in the morning.


    Millwall is centered.


    Isn''t Arsenal hitting pressure early?


    Then Arsenal will finish this round, the other 18 teams have finished, you play again, and still play at home, in Highbury.

 Chapter 919： Four rounds, crash

    May 3rd.


    Old Trafford.


    In view of the previous passionate command in White Hart Lane, after the game was criticized as "slightly gaffe", Ferguson reflected on himself and felt that the media said that the more excitement, the more he is more likely to affect the team, making The team also became restless.


    Originally, Manchester United was in a troubled autumn in the second half of the season. The conflict between him and Beckham was full of storms, which caused a sensation in the entire European football.


    Now again at the most important moment of the championship, it is better to be quiet than to move.


    The 37th round of the Premier League early game started at Old Trafford.


    Ferguson was chewing gum on the coach''s uniquely designed coach seat. He was like a calm senior gambler sitting on the table, making people see the mood swings inside him.


    At this moment he said silently in his heart: Alsena Wenger, although the fart you put on is stinky, it still makes sense!


    Thousands of dollars in the FA, grass your ancestors!


    It''s really stressful to play first!


    Why isn''t Millwall playing first?


    Ferguson rolled his eyes, thinking of Millwall''s current round of intelligence.


    Aldrich claims to give young players some opportunities.


    This is definitely a smoke bomb!


    But what does it have to do with Manchester United?


    That kid might have found himself a step down, sending one or two young players, in case he didn''t win the championship, and he could name the price of training a newcomer.


    Ferguson was thinking, and suddenly, Old Trafford fell into silence, and cheers broke out in the stands of the Away Fans.


    He fixed his eyes and suddenly angered.


    Charlton advanced the ball!


    The old Scottish man stood up from the coach seat and rushed to the sidelines, throwing all the previous reflections and self-reviews out of the sky!


    At the moment, his eyes were breathing fire, his expression faintly angry.


    There must be a warning to Manchester United players, at the same time, he really hates!


    Charlton, where did it come from?


    London!


    That''s right, there is nothing good in London!


    Arsenal, Millwall, Chelsea, just picked up Tottenham last game, good guy, even the little Charlton came to Old Trafford to be wild?


    Are you the helper sent by Mad Lion?


    Not to mention, Charlton is very close to Millwall from the geographical location, but there is no derby emotion. The relationship between the two clubs is harmonious, and the fans are at peace.


    Ferguson is angry, Manchester United players are not reconciled!


    How long has this grievance been held in the runner-up for several consecutive years? Torment made them crazy.


    If it were really defeated by Millwall''s name, then it would be ok.


    But this season''s two rounds against Millwall is one win and one draw. With such an advantage, if it finally falls in front of Charlton''s role, where is the reason to go?


    Ferguson was like a general of blood, with a big wave of his hand, roaring and letting the team attack.


    Charlton might be somewhat proud after scoring a goal. Unexpectedly, Manchester United did not want to attack aggressively. The line of defense did not pull back in time. To put it bluntly, there was no bus. Then, he was very sad.


    After all, Charlton has nothing to pursue, and this season has relegated successfully. Most players want to go on vacation. Manchester United has no retreat. Not to mention losing at home. Even if it is a draw, they can¡¯t accept it, so they are crazy. Attack, soon disabling Charlton.


    Ferguson, too excited, should be glad that it is coming to summer. If it is cold winter, he is so anxious to get angry, and his nose must not bubble.


    4:1.


    Manchester United took the first place in the Premier League this round, opening up the lead to 5 points.


    Millwall followed, and they welcomed Birmingham at home.


    Birmingham also succeeded in relegation this season.


    Aldrich announced before the game that it would give young players a chance, not a smoke bomb.


    He replaced Ronaldinho with Ronaldo and gave Ronaldinho a break. Ronaldinho played quite a lot this season and did not rest well last summer.


    Neil also replaced Schneider, De Rossi, Alonso continued to start, Lampard replaced Nedved, Klose rotation Henry.


    Aldrich did what he said, but Birmingham was dumbfounded.


    For Birmingham, this is a big smoke bomb!


    Who can think of the most crucial moment for the championship.


    The crazy lion is really **** rotated!


    The League Cup is over, it was Liverpool who defeated Manchester United in March!


    You have long been eliminated from the FA Cup. Arsenal and Saint Southampton are going to play in the finals!


    Even if you want to take care of the European competition, the UEFA Cup final is after the Premier League, you have more than 10 days of rest!


    I don''t understand, Birmingham can''t figure it out from top to bottom, so how did Millwall dare to rotate?


    This embarrassed their coach Steve Bruce!


    If Charlton advanced a goal at Old Trafford, Ferguson angrily thought Charlton was Millwall''s helper.


    Then Birmingham is directly referred to by the media as Ferguson''s aid sniper who led Manchester United to the Premier League this season!


    Why?


    Bruce is a disciple of Ferguson.


    It is also a stepping stone when Millwall first entered England overtime against the Red Devils!


    Bruce, who came to the end of his career at that time, was humiliated by Millwall''s forward. Now he is the head coach. In the overall pattern, it is a shadow of Man''s connection. In his current and future coaching career, he has been a help. The Red Devils trained or accepted the Red Devils to eliminate players. In the original history, Ferguson officially retired in the last Premier League championship award ceremony. One of the award guests was Bruce. His origins with Manchester United, from his career to his coaching career, can be imagined. Got it.


    When Bruce prepared this game, he made a careful deployment, targeted arrangements, and on the bus today when he was on the bus with a newspaper, he said generously to the team: "Millwall will definitely send the strongest lineup. ! The cunning guy in Hall must be disturbing us! Let us not be affected. Millwall wants to step on us to achieve a miracle, impossible! Such a shame, we cannot accept it!"


    Waiting until the game starts, when the two players are waiting in the player channel, Birmingham players have strange eyes and glance back and forth at Millwall''s starting lineup. It seems to doubt that Millwall players are wearing masks?


    This **** thing is completely different from what the coach said!


    Aldrich and Bruce are also old acquaintances, not to mention that he used to coach the team. Bruce played for Manchester United. That is, in some of the FA''s social banquets, the figures in the English football team will come, and naturally there will be some social communication.


    Seeing Bruce, Aldrich shook hands with him politely, and then sighed: "Ah, time passes so fast, I want to see you for the first time that year, you are still playing at Manchester United, now, you are coaching the team Now, you and I are competing in the same game. This is fate, but it also makes me feel a lot."


    After talking, Aldridge shook his head and left.


    He was sentimental, feeling like he was old!


    It is really the feeling that the Yangtze River is pushing back and forth, and a new generation is replacing the old.


    At that time, the players of the opponent team now coached to come with their own wrenches. Can you not feel this emotion?


    After retiring, Bruce, who is gradually blessed, feels like eating a fly, looking at Aldridge walking back to the coach seat and standing tall and brave, the young handsome who is about to usher in his 27th birthday, really makes people want to rush over Beat him up.


    All pre-match deployments in Birmingham this game, all targeted defensive plans can be directly thrown into the trash can, in addition to the overall overall attitude has not changed, in detail, they were caught flat-footed.


    Ronaldo is different from Ronaldinho itself. On the way of training Ronaldo, he has always focused on emphasizing his assault ability, not as a foil, so when Ronaldo used a modern winger''s style to cut in from the left, When at most doing a two-on-one match with Middle Road and continuing to advance into the penalty area to threaten the goal, Birmingham was really caught off guard, because in this area, they themselves want to defend Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho is not the way to play, Ronaldinho will Cut, but not directly into the ribs of the restricted area, but move back and forth on the front waistline, only to enter the restricted area when appropriate.


    Ronaldo''s unreasonable hard punching into the ribs of the restricted area quickly paid off.


    In the 31st minute of the game, he made a cross in the penalty area and led to the opponent''s handball. Millwall scored a penalty. Larsson scored the goal in one fell swoop. There was no suspense after the lead.


    Lampard and Klose scored the next two goals respectively, while Larson and Ronaldo each scored an assist number.


    Bruce took Birmingham out of London disgraced.


    Millwall chased Manchester United closely, the gap is still 2 points.


    The situation is clear.


    In the final round, if Manchester United wins, Manchester United wins the cup, if Manchester United is unsuccessful, as long as Millwall wins the closing game, they will defend the title successfully.


    As for Arsenal, the chances of the final round are obviously slim.


    Of course, Arsenal also have a chance, but they must first play the 37th round of the league, won the 37th round of the league, only to have the suspense of ending the war crown.


    Arsenal welcomed Leeds United in Highbury this season.


    In the penultimate round of the league, Leeds United still has the risk of theoretical relegation!


    And Arsenal retains the possibility of theoretical competition!


    To some extent, the two teams are really "difficult brothers and brothers."


    So, I wonder if it was because of the deflation of the two companies, or I still want to help Leeds United, Arsenal vigorously lost to Leeds United in Highbury, and sent White Rose to relegate ashore.


    The score of 2:3 made a decisive change to the fate of both teams.


    Leeds United declared success in relegation, but it is still on the road to bankruptcy.


    Before four rounds, Arsenal and Manchester United shared the same points, leaving Millwall 4 points away. After four rounds, Arsenal bid farewell to the championship, 5 points behind Manchester United and 3 points behind Millwall! 99% of the season may be ranked third, unless the final match against Millwall loses, and they brushed 8 goal difference.


    Leeds happily left Highbury, and Arsenal can concentrate on preparing for the FA Cup final.


    As for Wenger''s last round of complaining about the pressure to play first, after this round, he never mentioned the difference between playing first and then playing.


    It''s just that the hostile fans have another reason to mock Arsenal.


    Play first, the pressure is great, Arsenal is flat.


    After playing, the pressure is too horrible, just lose!


    Arsenal, what are you going to do?


    Is it necessary to start the game with the big troops in the middle of the future?

 Chapter 920： Closing Wonders

    Arsenal crashed!


    The Gunners fans broke their hearts, and there is still an FA Cup final that they can continue to look forward to.


    Originally Arsenal even tied the game with Manchester United, but only the last three league wins, and two more goal difference than Manchester United, they will be on the top of the list, but unfortunately, before the final battle, they will say goodbye The champion, even the runner-up, can''t seem to keep it.


    This season, the ending stage has a lot of interesting things, and even the overall situation of the ending battle has become delicate.


    "''Liverpool'' will decide where the champion belongs!"


    Even the Times has used such headlines for its popularity.


    Liverpool?


    This Liverpool does not refer specifically to the Red Army, but refers to the "Liverpool" in the ancient times, which did not split into the "Liverpool" of Everton and Liverpool.


    At the end of the battle, Millwall will face the Reds Liverpool at home.


    Manchester United went to Goodison Park to challenge Toffee Everton.


    This is why ¡®Liverpool¡¯ in the media will decide where the champion belongs.


    May 11.


    Aldridge sat in the locker room and looked at the tactical board. When the players warmed up, he heard the conversation between Schneider and Ronaldinho.


    "Is that guy Moyes reliable?"


    "It looks pretty reliable. In these years, when have you seen Everton''s league rankings upstream?"


    "This is, I always think Everton is a relegation team."


    "Besides, there are our helpers over there."


    "Ah, who knows whether it''s reliable, if they can turn Manchester United on their own, then they will have come back to fight with us for the main position."


    "Don''t be so pessimistic."


    The two did not shy away from talking, and the teammates couldn''t help smiling.


    Aldridge also recovered, and could not help but laugh directly.


    In the last round, Fleet Street promoted Birmingham as Manchester United''s helper.


    In this round of closing battles, Fleet Street pessimistically believes that Everton led by Moyes will do his best to attack Manchester United!


    In order to prove that Everton is Millwall¡¯s heir, the media listed the record of cooperation between Moyes and Aldridge on player loan over the years, and Lescott, who has performed well at Goodison Park this season, Li Bailey and Rooney are all in the hands of Millwall. Together with the profit at home and the overall strength of the team, this helper is far more powerful than Birmingham led by Bruce.


    Moyes''s first full season coaching Everton, the transcript is very good, Everton has also restored some of the old-fashioned power, following in the league behind the championship group, the Champions League is definitely not playing, but next season''s UEFA Cup tickets Has been firmly in hand.


    "Hey, don¡¯t think about it. The league doesn¡¯t depend on others. Besides, our opponent, Liverpool, they came here with the determination to score in the Champions League. If we are thinking about the game over Everton, today But it will be upset at home."


    Aldridge had to remind the team to concentrate and stop thinking.


    Most players have a relatively stable attitude. Like Nedved and Larson, they have experienced more ups and downs. Under such circumstances, they can cope with it better. Furthermore, before the four rounds of competition, the league champion has already Almost flew away, and finally there was some hope in the final battle, but the probability was not too big. The defending success, it must be their victory over Liverpool, Manchester United is still unbeatable.


    When the players were ready to play, Aldridge stood up and said to them: "Forget the league title today, today we are going to win Liverpool, there is only one purpose, thank the fans for their support for a season, that''s all!"


    "it is good!"


    The team cheered in unison.


    Aldridge nodded with a smile and walked out of the locker room with satisfaction.


    On the sidelines, Aldridge shook hands with Liverpool coach Hollier. The other side recuperated after a short period of time and returned to work, leading the team to perform well. At least this season has already won a League Cup championship, described by Fleet Street For: the first person to break the Millwall monopoly!


    It''s just that the challenge left for him is not over.


    The suspense of the league finale, in addition to Manchester United and Millwall contention, the final ticket for the Champions League seat is also the biggest attraction.


    Newcastle United, Chelsea, Liverpool and three teams share the same points.


    Among them, Chelsea have a leading goal difference.


    At this point, Fleet Street also mocked Millwall in disguise, because Millwall defeated Newcastle United, making Chelsea catch up with Newcastle United, which is equivalent to helping a dead enemy, and today is to play Liverpool at home, it seems. Help Chelsea again.


    At the press conference yesterday, Aldridge did not hide his ridicule and asked: "In order to fight Chelsea, is Millwall going to lose to Newcastle United at home, will he also surrender to Liverpool at the end of the battle?"


    Today''s Premier League is where 20 teams start 10 games at the same time.


    The starting players of both sides made their debut. The Red Army Liverpool''s attitude as a guest was quite tragic. Since the beginning of the game, they have been fully committed to entering the game. The game rhythm has also been mentioned at the highest rate. It doesn''t matter if the scenes are messed up, but Millwall must not be in control of the overall rhythm!


    I have to say that Hollier''s plan makes sense.


    Alonso is not Pirlo, nor can he become Pirlo. When he hasn''t honed his achievements, he can master the rhythm of the game, and also depends on the level of the game. Like the level with the Red Army Liverpool, if you rely on him It was too difficult for him to support the midfield situation, so Ronaldinho and Nedvide took the initiative to retreat, sharing his pressure, taking advantage of the midfield as much as possible, but weakening the offense.


    The game had just started for 10 minutes. On the stadium stand, suddenly came the fans of the visiting team, that is, the fans of the Red Army.


    "Manchester United 1:1 Everton! Manchester United 1:1 Everton!"


    The atmosphere of the stadium stands suddenly changed.


    Fans of mad lions feel weird and feel that this scene seems familiar.


    There are also a lot of crazy lion fans watching the live game while listening to the radio. Of course, they are paying attention to the situation at the Goodison Park stadium.


    When Liverpool fans shouted these words neatly, fans of the Lions asked each other.


    "Manchester United is ahead?"


    "No, there has been no change in scores over there."


    "What are the Liverpool people shouting about?"


    "Haha, I remember, they imitated us, forgot? Last season? We relegated the hammer to shout!"


    "Yes, yes, that''s what it is. It''s so true. Liverpool people are so shameless!"


    "Cough, this is what we invented first, can''t be said shamelessly."


    "No, I mean they steal from us and deal with us in turn, it''s shameless!"


    Most of the fans in the stands have reacted. The Liverpool fans are lying about the military and intending to disrupt Millwall''s military spirit!


    Not to mention, at the beginning, when the news of Manchester United¡¯s lead came from the stadium, Millwall¡¯s players were a little distracted, but before the game, Aldridge gave them a preventive shot to make them forget the championship and the purpose of the game. In order to thank the fans, they did not suffer much.


    Aldridge laughed from the coach''s seat, and he soon wondered what the away fans were doing.


    Because according to normal circumstances, the home team fans should be silent for a while. Hearing Manchester United¡¯s lead, they will be more or less hit, but the Lion King Stadium has not been quiet, Liverpool fans suddenly burst out such a shout, it is unavoidable Too explicit, obviously premeditated.


    "Fake, fake, Liverpool shouted fake."


    Boas told everyone the facts on the coach seat for the first time.


    Aldridge was laughing, and for a while, the stands of the Lion King Stadium were confused.


    Liverpool fans are calling Manchester United to lead, Millwall fans are shouting that Newcastle United are leading West Brom on the road. Although it is possible to call Chelsea to lead Birmingham at home, but the Lions fans are at home, how can they mention the name of the enemy? ?


    Even if 99% of the attention of the players on the court is invested in the game, as long as 1% of the attention is distracted by the stands, it will feel like a dream.


    What the **** are you playing?


    The game of Millwall vs Liverpool.


    The stadium echoed, Manchester United, Everton, Newcastle United, West Brom, four team names.


    Damn it!


    The narrator did not explain the game for a long time, because both Martin Taylor and Andy Gray couldn''t help laughing and couldn''t explain it normally.


    Champions, Champions League tickets, in this context, presented in front of the public, instead of intense and exciting, it is a ridiculous situation on the court.


    Coincidentally, since Millwall sent West Ham back to the Premier League at home last season, fans have grabbed the limelight in the stands, and this season''s final battle, the battle for the championship, the key battle for the Champions League tickets, the relegation battle In all competition fields, fans who support their own teams inadvertently started a "lied report of military situation" in the stands to disturb the enemy.


    Goodison Park Stadium.


    Toffee fans are actually desperate, but if Manchester United wins, Manchester United will win the championship trophy at their home, and there will be an award ceremony here, so the toffee fans will shout in the stands without fear of the world. Millwall leads Liverpool''s fake score.


    Only the score is a bit exaggerated, only 30 minutes, said Millwall has led Liverpool 3:0, probably, this also includes Everton fans hate Liverpool.


    Hawthorn Stadium.


    West Brom has definitely relegated. The ending game is a curtain call to bid farewell to the Premier League. The home team fans want the team to bid farewell to the Premier League. Naturally, they don¡¯t want to see Newcastle United win. So at the Hawthorn Stadium, West Brom fans are using Chelsea. Leading Birmingham at home to stimulate Newcastle United.


    Stamford Bridge Stadium.


    It should be the calmest here, because Birmingham has succeeded in relegation, the routine ends, the Blues fans just wholeheartedly cheer for the team.


    Bolton, who sits at Reebok Stadium, and Aston Villa on Elland Road, is a competitor to the relegation battle. In their games, fans have intermittently disturbed the opponent''s military.


    ...


    The "unhealthy wind" caused by Millwall last season prevailed in the finals of the Premier League this season, becoming a great wonder at the end of the UEFA season.


    Although Fleet Street attacked Millwall as the initiator after the game, there were still many neutral fans who believed that this phenomenon had greatly improved the entertainment of the game. Strange landscape.

 Chapter 921： Penultimate

    At the end of the first half of the game between Millwall and Liverpool, the score became 1:0.


    In the fierce battle of sawing back and forth in the audience, Millwall took the first place with a hard power advantage and contributed to the team. It was actually an unexpected figure: De Rossi.


    He ran to the frontcourt in an attack, and for the first time, he caught a long-range shot. The ball flew into Liverpool''s goal midway through refraction, which was surprising and also allowed the outside world to see why Derich chose to trust De Rossi.


    De Rossi Alonso''s combination, the defensive hardness will obviously surpass Gattuso and Pirlo, and the mobility, this also has more advantages for the young combination, that is to say, because of Pirlo''s defensive weakness, Gatto Suo must **** himself behind Pirlo, and now De Rossi and Alonso have another change, that is, Alonso continues to stay behind, and De Rossi unexpectedly stepped forward to participate in the attack, although it is not common , But this is always a strange move and change in the situation of stalemate.


    Don''t look at this change is actually very small, but on the basis of Millwall''s rich offensive means, adding another one will make the team''s offensive system more unpredictable, the opponent is undefeated.


    And this will be one of Aldridge''s key reform measures next season to strengthen the versatility of the midfield!


    Liverpool heard very bad news again during the intermission.


    Newcastle United lead West Brom on the road.


    Chelsea lead Birmingham at home.


    In terms of points, they are three points behind the two competitors, and their fate seems to be no longer in their own hands.


    Because even if they achieved a reversal in the Lion King Stadium, if Chelsea wins, Liverpool still can not get the fourth ranking.


    Millwall also received the bad news from Goodison Park Stadium during the halftime break: Manchester United led Everton 1-0 away.


    Aldridge once again emphasized the meaning of the game in the locker room.


    Forget the league title.


    Fight for the fans.


    Millwall and Liverpool, the same sick, slowed their pace in the second half.


    In the 58th minute, when Henry and Larson scored two consecutive one-on-one matches and scored in the penalty area, the Lion King Stadium fell into madness.


    Because at the same time, in another game, Everton equalized the score at home!


    "Wow! The game between Manchester United and Everton is now 1:1, and Millwall leads Liverpool 2:0! OMG, Millwall is back in the standings! If both games are over now, Millwall will win the league championship trophy!"


    Aldridge got up from the coach seat and walked to the sidelines to press his hand to the players on the court.


    Stabilize the military mind, don''t think about the league champion?


    It has to be said that the mentality has always been weak, and it''s really no longer that Aldridge has expectations for the league champions this season, and this moment can''t be calm.


    Everton, Moyes, you **** it!


    Swing the bus, felling tactics, lying grass tactics!


    In short, if Everton really sniped Manchester United, Aldridge made up his mind to be a good friend with Moyes for a lifetime. In the future, Millwall will be obsolete and sold to him!


    The situation at the Goodison Park stadium is abrupt.


    Moyes, who had nothing to do with himself, was also stunned by the posture of Manchester United.


    Giant game, how can he qualify to participate?


    Who wins Manchester United and Millwall, it¡¯s a matter of him. If he really made up his mind to help Millwall defend his title, his coach is too **** damned. Is the label "little brother"?


    However, it is true that he does not want to lose to Manchester United.


    So after equalizing the score, Moyes became conservative and wanted to steal Manchester United''s counterattack.


    But Ferguson, the old man, took his own life.


    All the offensive cards in your hand were played out in less than 70 minutes!


    After all, Moyes was a bit tender, and he has never seen a real big scene. He took over Everton halfway last season. He used to work in the low-level league before. At the top stage of the Premier League, he also encountered the madness of the top European teams. Offense, I was counseled at that time. Manchester United''s mad attack, Moyes took a bad move, or in fact, a move that many mediocre coaches will take.


    If the opponent is attacking aggressively, then I will die.


    When the opponent puts on an offensive player, then I put on a defensive player.


    So, Everton''s counterattack was completely without threats, and Manchester United was pregnant.


    Wealth and wealth, win in danger!


    Manchester United''s aggressive attack, Everton''s defense is inevitable, but the bottom line must be to keep counter-attacks. Moyes''s stinky move makes Manchester United even if the backcourt is empty. The bare rod commander Ferdinand is basically sitting alone, just attacking. .


    Moyes was terrified by this tragic fight, especially when he saw fellow Ferguson''s tears on the side of the field as if he had blown up a wild cat. Uh, he was a tiger.


    No one knows that at this moment, for Ferguson, it may not only be a fork in Manchester United''s fate this season, but also a fork in his personal coaching career.


    For him, if he loses the league title again this season, he may really retire and lose his mind!


    Aldridge returned to play 5 games, then snatched the league title in the hands of Manchester United, a 4-point lead, this is simply a very loud slap!


    Since the top of the Premier League in the 95-96 season, Manchester United won the second place in the league five times in 1997, 98, 99, 2000, and 01. Among them, Arsenal won once and Millwall won four times. Last season, Manchester United had a fatal defense problem, slipped the league fourth, and the league champion was Millwall.


    In the domestic cup, Millwall won more times than Manchester United. Last season''s Champions League final met, Manchester United also lost to Millwall.


    Over the years, Ferguson has lost to Aldridge.


    If the final loss to Aldridge this season is not only not acceptable to Manchester United from top to bottom, but Ferguson himself cannot accept it.


    The young coach just came back and led the team to play 5 league games, and then took away the league champion. What other face does Ferguson have to fight against the young coach? The outside world will never regard the two as opponents.


    So the final result of this game will determine the league champion and will also determine whether Ferguson''s coaching career will continue.


    In the 79th minute, Manchester United made a continuous attack to create chaos in Everton''s penalty area. When Scholes kicked the ball into the Everton goal, all the violent breath revealed by Ferguson disappeared.


    He seemed to have become a naive child, he laughed happily with his fists raised, and jumped twice in the same place...


    Moyes was expressionless and indifferent. He probably did not fully understand Ferguson''s sidelines, Manchester United''s posture on the court, the kind of situation where life and death hang on the line, and that is the essence of the game of giants.


    For the middle and lower reaches of the team, relegation is survival. Entering the Champions League, winning an unremarkable championship can be counted as a success, but for the giants, the basis of survival is the white bones at the feet.


    Manchester United scored and led Everton again.


    Everton, because of the previous substitutions, now wants to counterattack, there is no complete offensive system, most of them can only rely on luck, and Ferguson did not let the team to defend, Moyes and Ferguson naturally have no coaching ability Comparability, Ferguson is very clear that if Manchester United retreats, Everton will be "lucky", because Manchester United lacks a real defensive player, then it is the most common sense to attack and defend. Manchester United controls the situation, not Retreating makes Everton desperate.


    The FA is relieved.


    Even though the FA is still in the honeymoon period with Aldridge, the Premier League will end. The authentic championship trophy must be at the Goodison Park Stadium, and the main guests for the awards must be here. Even if Millwall wins, Milwaukee The award ceremony there is much shabby.


    Thanks to the last round of Arsenal''s crash at Highbury to bid farewell to the championship, otherwise, today''s situation will make the FA Football team''s head burned, first of all, they will prepare three championship trophies...


    What you say on your lips and how to do it in reality is completely different.


    Aldridge let the team fight for the fans, don''t think about the league champion.


    But when Manchester United was equalized, he expected it, so when Manchester United led again, he inevitably lost a little.


    At Lion King Stadium, Millwall players also lost their morale after regaining their lead from Manchester United. Although it is not obvious, it is an indisputable fact that the players'' attention to the game began to decline.


    1: 0 is not insurance, 2: 0 will make people feel at ease.


    Under such circumstances, Liverpool pulled back a goal in the 85th minute, which originated from Ashley Cole''s aggressive defensive progress and Ronaldinho''s frequent persecution by the coach from time to time, but he always made mistakes from time to time: No effect on defense.


    After Irving scored a goal, Liverpool did not have the determination to fight back and then reverse. Millwall, on the other hand, re-energized after Aldridge returned to the club to direct the game and blamed the team for the first time.


    In the time since then, the team has not given Liverpool a chance, nor has the offense created a great opportunity.


    At the Lion King Stadium the game ended first, Millwall defeated Liverpool 2-1.


    Manchester United''s time is longer because of frequent substitutions in the second half.


    At the end of the game, all Millwall players saw the Premier League trophy on the sidelines. That is not the real thing, but if they can win the championship, it does not matter whether it is true or not.


    They are still waiting, like many crazy Lion fans who are praying in the stands, hoping that Everton will tie Manchester United in the end.


    Aldridge walked into the stadium for the first time, applauding to the audience in the stands, as if he didn''t care what the outcome was at Manchester United.


    The signal to the outside world is: Millwall does not ask others!


    This season is not a season that Millwall should be proud of. Perhaps it is a season that many players and fans are unwilling to recall in the future. It must be admitted that they have not produced an absolute championship performance, which is why they failed. The reason for failing to defend, not why Manchester United can lead Everton again.


    Aldridge embraced every player on the court and walked to the stands to salute the fans.


    Along with his move, more and more crazy lion fans did not care about the situation on the side of Manchester United. They stood up and applauded. The flag of the crazy lion always fluttered in the stands, and the wind was not falling.


    "The game at Goodison Park Stadium is over. Manchester United defeated Everton 2-1 away and regained the Premier League title since 1996! The defending champion Millwall failed to perform a miracle at the last moment, but Huo After Sir Earl returned to the club, the five-game winning streak of the league pressed the first team all the way, which made Manchester United and Arsenal feel great pressure. Arsenal collapsed, Manchester United clenched their teeth to the end, withstood the pressure and won the championship in one fell swoop. For Millwall, this may be a failed season. However, they still continue their tradition. Those who were talked about by Millwall fans many years ago. What Millwall young players said: Millwall symbolizes victory and symbolizes the championship. From 1995, Millwall¡¯s top-tier league has the worst results and is the third place! This season, this is not the worst result of the Millwall league , Just the penultimate worst, runner-up. There is also a UEFA Cup final, and all games of Millwall will be completed this season. We have reason to look forward to Millwall next season and look forward to the recapture of the brand-new Millwall led by Sir Hall. Lost ground, in the Premier League, on the peak stage in Europe, the Champions League!"

 Chapter 922： Hello, this is Jose Mourinho

    The English Premier League curtain fell, defending champion Millwall¡¯s four consecutive domestic rule was ended, and the three consecutive Champions League championships also declared a collapse at the end of last year. The second-generation mad lion ended brilliantly in the summer of 2002, and the third-generation The first season of Crazy Lions was not on track as expected, but it could not be concluded as overshadowed. After all, Crazy Lions maintained considerable competitiveness. The Champions League this season is not over yet. Looking forward, I believe that no one will exclude Millwall from the championship.


    At the end of the season, Aldridge returned to the league with a five-game winning streak and almost staged the miracle of turning the Red Devils and Gunners at the last moment. It is awe-inspiring. There is a lot of discussion in the outside world, and it will inevitably turn over the old account. One game, or a draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford, then Millwall can achieve five consecutive league titles!


    It is a pity that there is no if in reality. If there is, Arsenal will definitely need more than Millwall.


    Should Manchester United be defeated at Highbury?


    If there is no subsequent draw and loss, if you can win one more game, if...


    The season belonging to Manchester United is over.


    The Premier League champion returned to Manchester. The sky of the Premier League was washed from a dark blue to red. Manchester United held a grand championship celebration. A Manchester United superstar also chose to bid farewell when Manchester United returned to glory.


    Although not yet available, many people in the circle have learned the attitude of the Manchester United club, quite Ferguson, let Beckham leave.


    Beckham was received by the Queen of England, awarded the OBE official medal, and then prepared to report to the England national team.


    Arsenal''s season is not over yet. They are in a tight state of preparation. With three domestic trophies, Liverpool and Manchester United each take one, and there is an FA Cup that will be competed by Arsenal and Southampton.


    Millwall, formerly known as the trophy harvester, was empty-handed on the domestic front. This is the first time since the 95-96 season.


    Although they have actually won three championship trophies this season, they are too tasteless to mention.


    However, Fleet Street did not dare to hype about this. After all, Millwall still has a championship trophy to compete for. The weight is not too heavy, but it cannot be ignored.


    UEFA Cup!


    Late May.


    Aldridge led his team to Seville, Spain.


    Millwall came very early. In the past, in the European finals, it was normal to arrive two or three days in advance, but this time, they advanced four days.


    Why?


    Spain has good scenery, good weather, and everything except economy!


    Rather than preparing for a battle in that ghostly place in London, it would be better to prepare for a battle in such a scenic place. The mentality will be different. In the finals, Aldridge has always advocated that relaxation is the best.


    When the UEFA Cup kicked off at the Seville Olympic Stadium this season, two young men met on the sidelines as coaches.


    Although the UEFA Cup can''t be compared with the Champions League, but because of these two coaches, this year''s finals seem to be a lot more colorful.


    Because they are too young.


    One is Audrey Hall, who is 27 years old on his birthday tomorrow.


    The other was Jose Mourinho, who was just 40 years old.


    Is 40 young?


    Of course, in football, this is the age of the young coaches, and how many coaches can stand on the field of the European finals at the age of 40?


    Aldrich and Mourinho have long known each other, and Mourinho can be regarded as a witness to the glory of Aldrich.


    Wasn¡¯t he witnessing Barcelona¡¯s defeat by Aldridge with Robson and Van Gaal?


    Not to mention that he visited Aldridge in person when he established his portal, but the meeting ended with displeasure.


    In fact, if Aldridge did not return to the Millwall coaching position, he probably wouldn¡¯t remember the Magic Bird most of the time. Only when he defeated the Celtics to enter the finals, he realized that the opponents in the finals were from Portugal. In Porto, Mourinho is the coach.


    When he first coached, Aldridge really secretly dreamed, when will he meet Mourinho as an opponent on the field?


    In the countless pictures he envisioned, the background was the 03-04 Champions League.


    However, there is always a gap between reality and fantasy. I didn''t expect it to be ahead of schedule. It was actually on the stage of the UEFA Cup.


    Coming to the sidelines, Aldridge saw Mourinho resting on the baffle above the coach seat with one hand, and his hips were very cold.


    Seeing his posture at this moment, Aldridge always has a feeling of wanting to laugh, because the other party is obviously 40 years old, but there is a look in the show, and the attitude is cool.


    And this kind of state, Aldrich has also had before. At the beginning of coaching, he always cared about his posture and image, hoping to leave a deep impression on the outside world and strengthen his sense of existence. It is a kind of hype for show. .


    Aldridge walked over gently, the closer he was to Mourinho, the more he wanted to laugh.


    Mourinho saw him tomorrow morning, and the two even had a line of sight, but Mourinho deliberately shifted his eyes, as if Audridge did not exist, or, as a passerby.


    This is of course not an escape.


    It is a gesture of contempt!


    Quite a few real people in the eyes!


    Until Aldridge came to him, Mourinho''s posture did not change, but fixed his sight on Aldrich''s gentle face.


    After Aldrich took the initiative to extend his hand and greeted: "Long time no see."


    Mourinho changed his posture, raised his head, raised his hand in a serious expression, and said seriously: "Hello, this is Jose Mourinho."


    Aldridge couldn''t help it when he shook hands with him, his head smiled silently.


    The other party seemed to see Aldridge for the first time and introduced himself solemnly.


    Aldridge was confused.


    In the end, the other party really despised himself, still hope that he will remember him!


    Perhaps the last time I came to Audric''s house as Benfica coach, Audric questioned whether the coaching position was stable, which caused Mourinho to leave in anger, but finally proved that Audridge was right, he did not own Benfica. stay How long.


    This made him more concerned about the existence of Aldridge.


    A person who can say "God is the boss and I am the second" certainly has the ambition to devour the sky, and the requirements and goals will be very high. The requirements are for themselves and the goals are focused on the world.


    The competitive sport of football is naturally stronger than that.


    Of course Mourinho is conscious of defeating Aldridge. Perhaps he is in Portugal. His stage is not enough to challenge Aldridge directly, but since he met in the UEFA Cup final today, it is also a chance. .


    Mourinho apparently didn''t want to talk to Aldridge. He was a bit strange. Anyway, Aldrich seemed very strange.


    If you go through Mourinho''s resume from beginning to end, you will find that this is really a wonderful inspirational story!


    His player career was unsuccessful, unknown, and ended early, and in order to be a coach, interpreter, assistant, and learn from many people, he even reached the point of sleeplessness, especially in Spain, he always makes himself crazy The idea was taken out and discussed with the people in the football circle, but was despised, ridiculed, even isolated and marginalized by those in the circle of Spain. Then he returned to Portugal to start his coaching career. Success is achieved at a very fast speed!


    It''s so inspirational to take this **** movie!


    However, Mourinho tried to deny some of his past. Others said he was an interpreter. He was not happy, as if he was ashamed of those days and did not want to mention it, as if others were exposing his scars, as if, he I hope that I am a well-known person, a born strong man, a natural winner, and a unique winner under the glory of God.


    As for the grievance between him and Barcelona, ??it has something to do with his history of reluctance to admit it.


    Anyway, Aldridge thinks this is a very strange phenomenon, just like Italy once laughed at Millwall, and many media mocked his "handedness" when he first coached, and even many former fame in England also relied on the old and the old to teach him how to renew As a person, Aldrich will not be hostile afterwards, especially, especially after a great success, he will not be attentive, why?


    My success is in itself beating the face of all the negative voice makers. In terms of attitude, be humble and not be able to win the respect of others? It can also highlight how noble his character is.


    Maybe people and people have different worldview values. Anyway, Aldridge and Mourinho are definitely not the same kind of person. There are many enemies in the other side, and Aldridge is a lot of opponents. There is no endless grudge in mind.


    Now, Mourinho will not shake Audric, shake hands, simply say a few words, and end.


    Aldridge was more enthusiastic and shook hands with many people in the Porto coaching staff. When he was planning to go back, Aldridge found that Mourinho¡¯s complexion was not very interesting, and he did not give the other party a little. Surprise, how can it be passed?


    So, while walking back, Aldridge passed by Mourinho and whispered in his ear.


    Mourinho frowned and puzzled at first, but before waiting for Audric to take three steps, his face changed drastically, his blood was upset, and he was furious: "Grass, that stinky boy, it was you! Or are you playing me? !"


    Aldridge turned around and saw that Mourinho, who finally no longer had a cool look and change, seemed to be chasing out, Aldridge smiled and blinked at his right eye, saying: "It was very good physical strength. , Chasing me half a street, but unfortunately, I grabbed my ears and stunned."


    With that, Aldridge grinned and slowly backed away.


    Mourinho took a step forward, seeming to settle a bad account, but he still held back.


    There was an assistant beside him asking what happened to him.


    Mourinho calmed down and shook his head, saying nothing.


    Then he smiled angrily.


    A sentence that Aldridge said in his ear just now has been forgotten, but he can be recalled again with the same tone and similar accent.


    Back in time to ten years ago, Mourinho was still in Portugal, Robson just came to Portugal to coach, Mourinho became Robson''s translator, very simple translation, Robson needs Mourinho to attend the press conference Ao translation aside.


    At that time, a young reporter openly asked: "Mr. Mourinho, when are you going to become the head coach?"


    Such words, spoken on that occasion, not only off topic, but also in Mourinho''s ears, there are also suspects of being framed.


    His boss is sitting next to him. Is he the head coach?


    Do you want to rebel?


    In addition, Robson cannot understand, in case someone reports, will this affect his relationship with Robson?


    Mourinho, who was also young at the time, was furious. Not only did he expel the young reporter, but he subsequently caught up with the man outside the club and wanted to ask what the other party wanted to do!


    Unexpectedly, the two almost staged a street fight. In the end, Mourinho let the boy run away and turned to the hospital to check the eardrum...


    It turned out that the kid was Aldridge!


    It was years after Mourinho learned the truth. He didn¡¯t like this feeling. He could guess that maybe the other party was just kidding, but he was kept in the dark.


    This is not the first time he met Aldridge. In the past few meetings, Aldridge did not mention this matter again. If Aldridge did not say it, maybe, Mourinho did not know the truth in his life.


    But now that I know, it seems that the mood is even worse.


    It seems that I have been played by the other party as a monkey for many years...


    Mourinho, who was extremely angry, grinned gradually.

 Chapter 923： Destroy opponent

    The Aldridge of 1994 can''t be compared with the Aldridge of 2002. Regardless of coaching experience, ability, keen insight into the game, on-the-spot command and decision-making, etc., the latter is definitely better, like cultivation, Or leveling, which was just a fledgling newcomer at the time, but now it is purely kung fu, and is regarded as a generation master by the outside world.


    For the same reason, Mourinho in 2003 and Mourinho in 10 years cannot be compared.


    Mourinho now is not always in "utilitarian football", "anti-soccer", "bus representative" and so on. Opponents such as crazy criticize the magic bird in the vortex.


    This can also be seen in the technical and tactical system of the Porto team.


    I haven''t played 433 yet, I haven''t used double backs, I haven''t relied on modern wingers, etc.


    Porto last season and the previous season, two consecutive seasons in the domestic league runner-up, this is only after the last half of the season, Mourinho entered the main, and he fully coached the first season, he took Porto Back to the peak of the Portuguese Super League.


    Porto can be said to be the best in Portugal, but in the European War, the European secondary cup and the UEFA Cup are the stage. In Europe, there are not many top teams in Europe. Because of this, Porto is very smooth. , To achieve hegemony in the country, came to the stage of the UEFA Cup finals.


    Mourinho did not change, and he was not completely led by Millwall. He still displayed the usual 442 of Porto. His posture did not fall. Will it be as he wishes in the game? It depends on the specific trend of the game.


    From this point of view, Aldrich believes that Mourinho is now really "crazy". This kind of madness tends to be arrogant, just like he was in the Premier League in the original history, first of all derogated Ferguson''s achievements in the Premier League. And he did not actually surpass Ferguson in the Premier League. At least, Chelsea is in his hands, and he has not even achieved three consecutive league titles.


    Mourinho is a real strong man, not because of the potential black whistle criticized by many people in the Porto 03-04 Champions League, and not because of the case of the manipulation of the referee''s black whistle in the domestic league of Porto in 2008.


    It''s just that if Aldridge fears Mourinho today, then he is really alive!


    On the day he personally experienced as Aldrich Hall, in his mentality, Aldrich had more or less the consciousness to give Mourinho a chance to get off Mawei.


    Mad, needs capital!


    He doesn''t mind coming to help Mourinho understand the reality.


    "The 02-03 season of the UEFA Cup final is about to start. The two teams in this final are the new division league champion Porto from Portugal, and Millwall who has just ended the consecutive championship in the Premier League. Millwall came to the final and Not surprisingly, after they were eliminated from the Champions League at the end of last year, some media predicted that Millwall would come to the UEFA Cup final. After all, Millwall''s overall strength stands out in the UEFA Cup. Here we come Look at the starting list of both parties.


    Porto 442.


    Goalkeeper: Baia.


    Guards: Ferreira, Jorge Costa, Carvalho, Valente.


    Midfielders: Alenichev, Kostinia, Deco, Maniche.


    Forwards: Del Rey, Capuccio.


    Millwall 433.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Nesta, Southgate, Ashley Cole.


    Midfielders: De Rossi, Alonso, Nedved.


    Forwards: Larson, Henry, Ronaldinho. "


    From the beginning of the game, Millwall completely occupied the initiative on the field!


    Mourinho was ruthlessly supervising the battle on the sidelines, watching the opponent''s players steadily pass and cooperate on the court. This system is clear at a glance. The players are distributed in a reasonable position, the distance is kept moderate, and the transfer rate of the ball is gradually accelerating. When attacking the four in the frontcourt, Porto''s defense is in jeopardy!


    Ronaldinho, Nedved, Larson, Henry.


    Only these four people, everyone''s foot skills can be locally impacted, bringing local changes, and they, with a strong teamwork consciousness, Alonso and De Rossi in the midfield and backcourt simply pass the ball The ball supports the overall system, like the spine of the team, Schneider and Ashley Cole infested with assists, squeezing Porto''s formation continuously into the backcourt, while Porto was embarrassed, defender, middle In the field, less than 20 minutes into the game, even the forward involuntarily pulled back to defend.


    No way, seeing that the team is struggling to defend in the midfield and backcourt, the team-conscious players will actively invest in defense and support teammates.


    Twenty minutes later, Mourinho froze his face, disguising his inner panic.


    In Porto, the entire technical and tactical system was destroyed!


    Defense, four-backs, one-on-one, joint defense, absolutely can''t resist Millwall''s magical attack group. This is also the case where Millwall stars have not yet played their own power, because Millwall has made the ball transfer rate fast to Porto. The thin defense line is difficult to coordinate quickly.


    Porto¡¯s two wing players, Maniche is good at long-range shooting, and his defense is okay. However, he is best looking for opportunities behind the striker. When participating in defense and being suppressed in the backcourt, Porto did not have an absolute speed advantage to play an effective attack. .


    On the other side, Alenichev on the right is a winger, and his speed is very fast. Unfortunately, he encountered two major problems in this game. The first is a serious injury, that is, his own physical fitness is not good, the second This is Ronaldinho on his side!


    The single-back waist Costinha is Mourinho''s highly trusted general, with a large defensive area and amazing interception efficiency. However, it also depends on who the opponent is. If he runs into Nedved, he can''t die. There are some difficulties, and Deco''s back defense is needed to fill the empty. When Ronaldinho Ronaldo or Nedved is transposed, whether it is to mark Ronaldinho or to fill the defensive empty, Costinia can not take into account the side defense. Relying on Ferreira, can Ronaldinho be prevented? So Alenichev had to return to the defense. He ran on the line of defense and attacked? Both sides are almost gone.


    In addition to Deco, he is an offensive organizer in the Porto array, but he is not a field-controlled organization midfielder. Even if the Porto defense is successful, he gets the ball and gives him very little time to play. Alonso and De Rossi, with Nedved back in defense, if the wing teammates did not run into place, he would be difficult to make an effective organization. In fact, his speed is not special. Therefore, the Porto attack and defense system was blocked by Mill. Wall destroyed and chaos. In the past, they met opponents in the Portuguese Super League and in the UEFA Cup. They can play in an orderly manner according to their own will. Today, this internal order that they are familiar with is completely disrupted.


    In the first 20 minutes, Millwall players played an absolute sense of team football on the field, without special emphasis on individual play, which is one of the styles Millwall has finally cultivated over the years.


    At the beginning of the game, first of all let the players of the whole team become active. Taking the root of the team is also a way of comprehensively oppressing the opponent and paralyzing the opponent. Then, on this basis, based on the observation and understanding of the first 20 minutes, the focus is on local The article is premised on the fact that their team is still unable to break through the opponent''s door while the team is active.


    Porto¡¯s tactical discipline and teamwork are still quite impressive, otherwise, it has been impossible to resist Millwall¡¯s highly penetrating teamwork.


    In the 24th minute, Ronaldinho began to show his power. After winning the ball for the first time in the game, he began to master his own rhythm. Before that, he was working with his teammates to make the ball run at a very fast rate.


    But this time, he slowed down and controlled the ball in place. When Alenichev and Ferreira wrapped him back and forth, he deftly passed the ball behind Ferreira. At the same time, Ashley ¡¤ Cole sets the bottom and controls the ball in front of the bottom line behind Ferreira. Ferreira withdraws to defend. Porto''s entire defense line also moves towards the bottom line. Ashley Cole does not rush to pass. When Ferreira approached, he suddenly passed the ball back to Ronaldinho.


    Ronaldinho has stopped driving, and Alenichev''s defense against him is virtually useless. Ronaldinho took the inside line and stepped on the horizontal line of the penalty area. When Costinia and Deco rushed to him at the same time, Ronaldinho Passed the ball diagonally back to Alonso who followed up. The latter kept the ball obliquely plugging the ribs on the other side of the penalty area and got rid of Valent''s Larsen empty cut in the hinterland of the penalty area. Seeing that there was already a shooting opportunity !


    The Porto defensive line quickly rushed over to Larson. When the shot was made, Larson did not shoot and then passed the ball back to the penalty spot. When the Porto defenders turned back, they only saw the ball flying like a meteor in the line of sight. Goalkeeper Baia reacted unresponsively and the ball rolled out of the goal.


    Nedv¨§d bombarded the door with a heavy blow!


    "Millwall leads the ball! This ball is simply wonderful. Millwall played a pleasing team cooperation in a small space with the opponent''s multiplayer recycling area. First Ronaldinho tore on the left Opening the opponent''s defense line disrupted all the opponent''s marking rhythm, and then the offensive shifted to the right. Larsen had a chance to shoot, but he was not greedy, and he gave the ball to Nedved, who is better unmarked. The latter slammed the door without giving Baya any chance to save. At 1:0, the game so far, Porto and Millwall are not at the same level at all!"


    Mourinho''s face was sinking into water, and he could only cheer the team on the sidelines, so that the team should not be hit by losing the ball.


    But what about himself?


    Has it been hit?


    At this time, should it be recalled?


    In a certain period of time in the past, the European media came to the conclusion: in the face of Millwall, first of all can not be a double forward.


    The definition of this double forward is a real forward, a fake forward, and a true forward.


    Because if you have double forwards, your midfield and backcourt layouts, no matter how platoon formations, can''t give the whole game an advantage, even the balance is difficult to maintain.


    Both Manchester United and Arsenal are at 442, but Manchester United¡¯s Solskjaer and Fanny¡¯s partner in these two seasons, Arsenal¡¯s Bogkamp, ??the former can return to the penalty area before the defense, and the latter at least almost back with the central midfielder. The defensive position is almost the same. In this way, he has not yet taken advantage of the field. Manchester United defeated Millwall by relying on the positioning ball.


    Mourinho was not reconciled. He thought that Porto even though the player''s personal strength is worse than Millwall, but he naively believes that the Porto he has tuned out, the overall strength of the team after the chemical reaction should be able to compete with Millwall.


    It is undeniable that the Porto team is very strong, but the effect of Millwall''s team chemical reaction has been well-known in Europe for a long time!


    It is also possible that Milwall''s internal turmoil this season has caused the outside world''s assessment to decline in this regard.


    But in the end, on the stage of this UEFA Cup final, Porto has no way to fight back!


    Millwall scored a goal, the score was ahead, and the eclipsed star group throughout the season began to explode!


    Say goodbye to this failed season?


    Or greet the new splendor and can''t hold back the passion that burst out?


    Aldrich stood on the sidelines as steady as a mountain.

 Chapter 924： One of the challengers

    There was not much suspense in this UEFA Cup final.


    There is no ups and downs development process.


    The reason is that the strength gap between the two teams is too big!


    Even though there are many, many underestimated masters in Porto, they don¡¯t have much reputation, but they have great strength.


    However, compared with Millwall, as long as Millwall does not relax and does not appear to relax, then Porto wants to turn over, and their comprehensive strength is not enough.


    No Millwall player is willing to accept the end of all four seasons in a season, the community shield, the Toyota Cup, the Super Cup, which can be ignored, but there is only one League Cup left, no matter how small the mosquito is meat, moreover, just like Aldridge incentive What the players said: With the UEFA Cup, you will help the club achieve the honor slam!


    In this way, Millwall''s fighting intentions are beyond doubt.


    Porto wants to be upright against Millwall for a top-level contest, but unfortunately, it is an unacceptable and disastrous defeat.


    When Ronaldinho started the dribble from the midfielder''s sideline in the 37th minute and walked the middle of the road, he first got rid of Deco and Alenichev and then faced with Kostinia to make a two-way pass with Nedved With the cooperation, finally in front of the defense line, Henry and Larson moved at the same time involved, he forced the middle road, the two changed back to the small penalty area line and easily pushed the goal!


    All the fans, except the Porto fans, stood up and applauded and cheered. Many people felt incredible and unbelievable.


    Fans of Millwall know: The omnipotent elven king on the court is back!


    Ronaldinho jumped Samba on the sidelines, Aldridge smiled, and Millwall would celebrate wildly.


    Mourinho was expressionless on the sidelines. He seemed to be divorced from reality. He was silent, staring at a pale and dark world on the court.


    Bright and upright, upright, confrontational.


    This is what he has always believed before the game. He believes that his hard work, the whole team is handsome, can make this team to the peak, the UEFA Cup is not a big stage, but with Millwall as the opponent, defeating Millwall Winning the championship, this may be more significant than winning the UEFA Cup!


    But the team didn''t finish the half game, and the team has fallen behind by two goals.


    The team he has worked hard to create, after a year and a half of hard work, carefully crafted technical and tactical systems, seems to be vulnerable to the wild lion in Millwall.


    In a blink of an eye, the dust will disappear!


    Where did you lose?


    In other words, what is particularly good about Porto that can gain an advantage in comparison with Millwall?


    Players'' personal abilities, not to mention that the front line is difficult to contend with, the third line duel, Porto has no advantage at all.


    And player characteristics, Millwall players have more unpredictable magic.


    Ronaldinho, Henry, Nedved, Larson, this magic is most vividly reflected in them. Although the power is different, such a change effect, that is, unpredictability, is on the court, in offensive football The biggest charm lies.


    What are the advantages of Porto in terms of team skills and tactics?


    Offense on the wing?


    Is it comparable to Millwall?


    Even the full-back assists, Millwall''s Schneider and Ashley Cole, every time they stepped forward brought a threat of terror.


    Midway offense?


    Does Porto have Deco?


    Millwall had Nedved in front and Alonso later.


    Team understanding?


    ...


    What is the quality of the team that is often talked about in some textbooks? Porto can surpass Millwall?


    Of course, football is not the winner, but the winner after the contest!


    However, the kind of counterattacks of the weak are ultimately a minority, which is called upset.


    Today, Millwall apparently refused to be upset by Porto!


    Mourinho was still standing still on the sidelines, but in that vast black and white world, he had curled up in a dark corner and thought about it painfully.


    As a coach, he could not have the same talent resources as Aldridge. Moreover, Millwall used to be a dark horse and has created many miracles. Because Millwall has created too many miracles, they, from no name, leave In the world of giants, then in the world of giants like the strong, standing on top of the peak!


    Mourinho certainly has valuable courage in his mouth, but what is the price for it? Is this how to become a stepping stone for opponents? Become the opponent''s success road? Then, what will he get?


    Tragic loser?


    Respectable courage?


    What''s the point?


    Apart from the champion, who will remember the loser at this moment ten years later? Who will continue to respect the ridiculous courage?


    It is better to live and die than to die!


    This is a rule of football survival, or, in the eyes of many people, this is a philosophy.


    If Aldridge does not have an innate advantage, and he enters this line again, he will put into practice the lessons he has taught to many young coaches, which is more deeply reflected in the most basic survival.


    Mourinho replaced a striker before the end of the first half and put a double back to strengthen the defense.


    However, another problem arises. In a hasty change, Porto does not switch well itself. There is one less person in the attacking system they are familiar with. The attack that was originally unsatisfactory becomes more chaotic and powerless.


    Porto can''t continue defending. Are players willing to lose the game?


    In the second half, they stepped up their attack on the wing and couldn''t get through the middle!


    Although Deco''s speed is not particularly conspicuously slow, he is obviously not at the top level or even at the top level in terms of explosiveness, so the Porto offense can''t improve the speed. If Deco takes the ball, Nedved is abrupt Catch up from behind, this scene will make people feel that Deco is a bit exaggerated.


    Porto simply played on the wing, and will quickly be separated by a pair of Millwall double-backs and a full-back to defend. However, their wing players do not have a particularly strong single-attack ability.


    In other words, Ronaldinho, Henry, Larson, can blow off the opponent''s side defense on the wing alone, not only can throw away the opponent''s back defender, but also can break through the opponent''s front defender''s front defense, but Porto The full-backs turned around to fight Schneider and Ashley Cole of Millwall, but it was difficult to do so.


    Coupled with the slow follow-up of Deco Central, their forwards are weak, and the combination of the side and the middle can''t play a good effect at all.


    And torn back and forth in defense and offense, they themselves appeared chaotic, stemming from the out of control of the rhythm, the whole team is not at the same rhythm point, and naturally there are flaws in part.


    In the 58th minute of the second half, Henry Rabian swapped with Larson. Schneider made a direct pass in the backcourt. Henry changed the position with Larson in the process of driving the ball forward. Larson completed two over one, although the old demon''s Larson''s ability to end is somewhat reduced, because of the reduction in impact, but he has a better insight into the situation on the field, he can watch the fire, and the ability to do the ball is also accumulated by rich experience. Ascension, he cleverly gave Henry a pick pass. When he entered the penalty area, Henry threw away Kost and Carvalho directly. After the ball bounced to the ground, he directly volleyed and cleanly landed before the second fall. Throw the ball into Porto''s goal.


    Mourinho held his head in his hands, seeming to be unbelievable.


    Strong, stronger!


    In his memory of Millwall, although he has the ability to cut off, but tacitly changing back and forth like Henry and Larson, the guards are directly panicked. The coordination is very subtle. Based on personal ability, the team cooperates. Deduced to a height that an ordinary team simply cannot pursue, it is admirable, obsessed...


    Lost, defeated!


    This will be Mourinho''s coaching career to this day, the most memorable loss.


    Because of him, there is no way out, the situation on the field is out of control, and how to adjust it seems pale and weak.


    If we say that before going through the European war, we will encounter all kinds of bulls and snakes, so today, in the UEFA Cup final, what he saw and the team faced was the wild beast! Only exists in the legends they have heard, and never faced it in person!


    Aldridge will not be proud of defeating Mourinho.


    Millwall must have been surprised.


    As far as the Millwall team is concerned, Porto is just one of the countless opponents they beheaded. In a few days, they will forget. They will only remember that on this day, they won a championship trophy and remember today''s beauty.


    opponent? Is it important?


    In their eyes, Porto is neither the top European team nor the historical glory or legend of European overlords like Real Madrid, Liverpool and Bayern Munich.


    Why remember them?


    If Aldrich was proud, he felt a little shameless.


    He is neither afraid of Mourinho nor particularly excited by defeating each other.


    For him, UEFA has no coach to challenge him.


    Now, he is defending Jiangshan.


    It was someone who challenged him!


    Therefore, Mourinho may only be one of the strongest challengers in the future, but he has not reached a special position, because Aldridge is confident to defeat all challengers!


    My five league titles and four UEFA Champions League trophies are not for nothing.


    Aldridge has never published any autobiography, but his past, coaching career is naturally well known to the outside world. The earliest stories of traveling in Europe as a teenager and visiting all corners of European football are also familiar to the fans of the Lions. People who are interested in Aldrich also know this, and this is part of the legend of this young handsome.


    Mourinho was originally just an outsider, understanding Aldrich with a learned mentality, but today''s game, specifically, before the game, when Aldridge repeated the sentence in his ears Mourinho''s heart shook like never before.


    At that time, as a translator, he was determined to have some achievements in football.


    Combining the stories surrounding Aldrich, he can guess that at that time, Aldridge must have traveled in Portugal. Although Portugal is a small country, Portuguese football has a certain weight in the European territory, derived from Portuguese football style.


    At that time, Aldridge, who was almost a tourist posture, has become a world-renowned legendary coach today. Will Mourinho be reconciled?


    He remembers everything today, before the game, during the game, and after the game, every detail, but he can remember everything he can see with his naked eyes, and then digest all this and think deeply, even if he will lose today At 10:0, he will not forget, he firmly believes that any setback is the best motivation for himself!


    Aldridge let the substitutes warm up when Henry scored the third goal. This game is ten in a row. As the coach, let some players feel the atmosphere or enjoy the game.


    For many Millwall players and all fans, today is undoubtedly happy. In the final, the opponent was 3:0 ahead of the opponent. The opponent Porto was beaten to no avail. The opponent was obviously unable to perform a miracle. The fans were singing and dancing in the stands. Just wait for the game to end and then revel.


    The most important thing is that everything is back to the rhythm they are familiar with, even if Aldridge does not grab the spotlight in this game, but his presence can make all fans of the Lions feel at ease and think that everything is under control.


    However, for Millwall, some people are not particularly happy.


    For example, Lampard and Klose are warming up.

 Chapter 925： success

    The most basic competition in a team is nothing more than the main position. Further up, the complexity may be the competition around the core position.


    The stronger the team, the core, the soul, the flag, etc. are more clearly divided.


    Lampard, Klose, the two in the Millwall team, has been in the lowest level of competition: the main position.


    It''s just that this season, due to Nedved''s serious injury before the season and Lampard as one of the main champions of the England World Cup, Lampard has stabilized his main position under Klinsmann. The specific position has been changed. However, the starter is his.


    And Klose also because of Larson¡¯s unsatisfactory performance in the new season for a period of time after the World Cup, plus Larsen¡¯s old age, Klinsmann can¡¯t wait to support Klose in position. Before Aldridge¡¯s return, Klose is also the first choice for starting.


    There is competition before it gets higher.


    If you are in a higher position, and then you are pulled down, it will be a disguised failure.


    So, emotionally, mentally, there will be more or less frustration, unwillingness, or negative emotions, which is normal.


    However, this emotion will not erupt before the eyes of outsiders. This is determined by professional qualities, unless, from the dead end!


    In the 75th minute of the game, Aldridge first replaced Alonso. It was Lampard who was on the field to signal the team to accept.


    This is a signal for Mingjin to withdraw his troops, but it does not mean that he will give up his offense and will play a smarter game based on Porto''s attitude.


    Porto didn''t rush to grab, they slowed down the rhythm and had more time to control the ball.


    If Porto''s whole army presses, they will catch the opponent''s counterattack.


    Porto wanted to attack, but their own system was a bit chaotic, their offense and defense were unbalanced, and the offensive effect was not ideal.


    In the 83rd minute of the game, Aldridge replaced Larson, replaced Klose, and allowed Nedved to retreat to further strengthen the defense.


    Mourinho saw that the general trend was gone, and did not struggle much. On the spot, such as his future substitutions such as the withdrawal of the defender to the striker, it also depends on the situation. He has these cards in hand and cannot control the midfield. In the case of weakening the defense and investing in the offense, is it too bad to be hit?


    Time, one minute and one second elapsed, the situation on the field was not exciting, Millwall still occupied the initiative, but the offense was mediocre, and most of it was formulaic hastily ended, and the quality was very general.


    When the whistle sound at the end of the game started, Millwall players smiled and hugged each other to celebrate the club''s honorary Grand Slam.


    Three European Cups.


    UEFA Champions League, European Winners Cup, UEFA Cup.


    Domestic league, biathlon.


    There are also tasteless community shields, Toyota Cup, European Super Cup.


    Millwall, who had no crown for a hundred years, completed the sweep of all honours at the end of the ninth year, less than ten years after Aldridge came into power.


    The game was over, Millwall''s players celebrated on the court, Audric was about to walk into the court, and suddenly found Mourinho came towards him with a solemn face.


    After the championship game, there is generally no handshake. After all, the mentality is very different. Before the game, everyone will hold their hands and maintain their manners. After the game, he will shake hands in heaven and hell?


    The old fault of Aldrich''s heart has been committed again, for fear that Mourinho will come to revenge for his joke.


    The other party is a future handsome, but a handsome does not mean that he must be a good man. Just like he poked his eyes, the world has seen that Ferguson is a handsome, and he will make a flying boot door when he gets angry.


    Audric guarded against Mourinho''s movements, but the other party came over and extended his hand. Audric froze for a second, and then reached out to hold the other side. Mourinho did not say a word, shaking hands solemnly. Then he turned and walked into the court to comfort his disciples.


    Aldrich thought for a while, and immediately lost a smile.


    Does this mean losing outright?


    He didn''t know, and he was too lazy to think about it.


    After Sevilla led the team to win the UEFA Cup, all Millwall games ended this season.


    And a League Cup is not worth Millwall¡¯s rave, Aldridge let the team disband on the spot, many people have to go to the national team, the schedule is very tight recently.


    Aldrich and the coaching staff''s Jenson and Stramaggioni did not leave Sevilla. They rested at the local hotel for one night before flying directly from Spain to Africa.


    The England national team has always been famous, and its strength and fame have never been equal. It is essentially a propaganda influence. The Fleet Street is indispensable. In addition, England won the World Cup last year. With the help of the media, it is world-renowned.


    With popularity, naturally fame and fortune are indispensable.


    First, the Japanese team came to London to play a friendly game. This summer, the European season has just ended, but the FA has arranged for the England team to play a friendly game in Africa.


    Considering the completion of this friendly match, they will return to England in early June to play the fifth round of the European Cup qualifiers at home against Slovakia.


    I have to say that the schedule arranged by the FA is very tossing people, there is no way, the benefits dictate.


    When Aldridge came to Africa, he was clearly in the limelight. He and Beckham met with South African founder Mandela. The photos of the three people not only became headlines in sports, but also grabbed the spotlight in international news.


    While England came to South Africa, it was warmly welcomed by African fans. After an intimate friendly match, the England team rushed home to prepare for the fifth round of the European Cup qualifiers.


    The England team, which had won four games before, beat the visiting Slovakia 4-1 without suspense at Old Trafford.


    The European Cup qualifiers won all five games, and as long as they win the next game, they can advance to the 2004 European Cup two rounds in advance.


    Only in the dressing room of Old Trafford, after the game, Lampard took the initiative to talk to Aldridge.


    In this game, Aldridge was very dissatisfied with Lampard''s performance, because he appeared inattentive in the game, and his attention was obviously inattentive. After only 15 minutes in the second half, he was replaced, even if the score was 3:1.


    In Manchester United¡¯s locker room, the other players have left. Aldrich told the stadium staff to close the locker door, turned around, and looked at Lampard who took off his shirt and sat on the bench. , Calm looking Lampard lowered his head and whispered: "Boss, I want to move away."


    Aldridge was immediately angry and shouted at him: "Frank! Are you afraid of competition?"


    In fact, the two of them did not want to talk about why they did not need to discuss why Lampard couldn''t get the main position in Aldridge''s new lineup.


    The facts are clear: Even Nedved, who is about to be 31, is still better than him.


    And Lampard couldn''t take the place that Pirlo left.


    Even though he is excellent and capable, he has the same problems with Gerrard or many midfielders in England during this period.


    In the frequency of the fast-paced competition in the Premier League, they lost the concept of controlling the rhythm of the game, which can be avoided when training him. However, in the early days, Millwall did not have high requirements for this, they were only pursuing faster and faster than others. So that others can''t keep up!


    When Millwall began to control the game rhythm and instilled a "metronome" or "rhythm master" concept into the midfielder, especially the offensive organizer, Lampard was loaned out, and he also missed The best thinking shapes the period.


    Why did Millwall have such a conceptual requirement for midfield organizers?


    Because their opponents are swinging the bus!


    Because they came to the position of giants from obscurity!


    No matter how fast you are, what''s the use?


    Opponents use intensive defense, passive football to contain you, you rely on fast, what''s the use?


    The control of the game rhythm has naturally improved and has been improving.


    Lampard is growing toward another path, generally speaking, is an attacking midfielder, but if it is described in detail, he is a B2B all-round midfielder. When attacking, he can also switch to shadow striker, and when defending, he can act Midfielder, but cannot match the full-time defensive midfielder.


    His ability is very good at discovering Kongdang, finding Kongdang, and using Kongdang.


    The problem is that Millwall was not the England team before the World Cup.


    Millwall stopped using counterattacks as his main offensive.


    If counterattack is the main method, Lampard played very well and was almost perfect, just like when he played in the World Cup in England, when he counterattacked, he was plugged in and was undefeated, because he always found the best empty zone, and Appeared there to create a threat.


    However, in Millwall, most of their work on the court is to create opportunities and create emptiness. Almost all opponents face Millwall. The first point of stifling Millwall''s offensive threat is to compress space!


    Therefore, Lampard can only compete with Nedved, and can be compared with the degree of subtlety of the technology under the feet. Compared with the skill of teamwork, Lampard has no advantage.


    In other words, Ronaldinho, Henry, and Larson are more willing to cooperate with the offensive team in the system formed by Millwall. Who is the most efficient combination?


    There is no doubt that it is Nedved.


    But Nedved is finally 31 years old.


    What Aldridge thought was that, in two years, Lampard could compete with Kaka.


    The survival of the fittest, the club''s development criteria.


    Now, Lampard has proposed to transfer, Aldridge believes that Lampard has backed down, fearing to compete with others.


    However, Lampard raised his head, showing a bitter smile, and asked: "Boss, I am the main force of the World Cup championship, I, why should I compete? I, why can''t I get the main force in the team? The top ball in Europe How many teams in the team will not give me the main force?"


    Frank Lampard.


    In another nine days, his 25th birthday will come.


    And he has already won the World Cup as the main force, the highest achievement in the green world.


    Perhaps the bitterness in his heart did not understand Audridge.


    He believes that Aldridge did not make up his mind to help him in position, which is by no means a competitive cause.


    Because, he thinks he is stronger than Nedved!


    It''s just that Aldridge can''t neglect his veteran, and he can''t put Nedved, the club''s hero for nine years, or even the top three heroes in the history of the team on the bench!


    He thinks Aldridge has been blinded by his emotions.


    But he couldn''t blame anything.


    Because, because Aldridge is a temperament, he returned to the job of the club''s head coach from the ease of life.


    As for competition, Lampard did not want to discuss with Aldridge.


    What can be discussed?


    He is the World Cup champion.


    And the one in the same position in the team, Kaka? He also participated in last year''s World Cup, but who cares that Brazil has a player called Kaka?


    In Lampard, there is no competition.


    He just had to wait, and wait, when Nedved went old, and wait, when Nedved''s performance fell to Aldridge''s decision, he would be in position.


    And he did not want to wait.


    Aldridge took a deep breath and tried to calm himself as much as possible. After all, Lampard stayed at Millwall for a long time, and he was also a competent player in the national team. He still hoped that in the future, Lampard could be at Millwall. Using his talents, he said in a deep voice: "Frank, we need to discuss this issue calmly and patiently."


    "Boss, I don''t want to discuss, I just want to leave, because, next season you can''t let me play the main role, Pavel is your first choice, and Harvey''s position, I do not meet your requirements. "


    After Lampard said these words, Aldridge''s expression suddenly changed, and he snarled at him grievously: "You are just escaping the competition! F! What do you think Millwall? What does success mean here? You know Do you go elsewhere, you have a main force, but what can you gain? Stay in Millwall, and strive to compete for the upper ranks, even if you can only play the main force for 3-4 years, you can get more brilliant than you are in other places. The team has been playing for ten years and more in twenty years!"


    Faced with Aldridge''s roar, Lampard dared not look at it, and turned away, whispering: "I go to other teams and will work hard to succeed."


    Silence, silence.


    Aldridge closed his eyes.


    He heard a sentence that made him most sad.


    "Success? Ha ha ha, Manchester United, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ??Bayern Munich, AC Milan, Juventus... Over the past five years, they may have achieved some results, but compared with Millwall, the whole of Europe, What club dare to say in front of Millwall, in front of me, Aldrich Hall that he was successful? Frank Lampard, if you want to go, then go! You can watch outside, far away Looking at Millwall, I will tell you again what success is!"

 Chapter 926： Storm Prologue

    If Beckham was an English darling, influenced by the media and sought after by the outside world, it made Ferguson think that Beckham was out of control of his authority, and thus evolved a two-parted relationship with his father and son. De''s words made Aldridge no longer try to keep each other.


    Can it be successful elsewhere?


    What do you think of Millwall?


    What do you think of Aldridge?


    If he thinks he can be successful wherever he goes, Aldridge doesn¡¯t want to waste words, patience, or energy anymore, because Lampard¡¯s confidence in himself has to surpass everything. Such a belief overrides the team and the coach. In the first place, it seems that one''s own power can control the world.


    Aldrich is impatient for players over 21 years old, because at 21 years old, for a professional player, it should be a stage of maturity. Only before 21 years old will Aldridge invest more patience To teach the players, as for Lampard¡¯s mentality change or self-confidence improvement over the past year, he has become a little ¡°no one in sight¡± in the eyes of Aldridge. Aldridge feels very normal. God Cup, does not allow him a little "Laozi world first" idea?


    Aldridge also has it.


    He also thinks he is unmatched in the world.


    I began to feel that I was unique. The gap between my peers and him is gradually being manifested. This gap is not a contest between one or two games, but a gap, a level gap, once it is recognized by the outside world in a subtle way. The gap will not change due to the results of one or two games.


    The arrogant Aldridge and the arrogant Lampard couldn''t reach an agreement.


    From Aldrich''s standpoint, he would consider and imagine for the players, but there is a big premise, that is, first of all, the interests of the club are considered.


    With Lampard left, and Kaka in the same period, when Nedved began the curtain call, these two players with different styles and different characteristics competed with each other, which in itself could provide Millwall with more technical and tactical choices in the future. , Not to mention that it will ensure the thickness of the lineup.


    But now that Lampard is leaving, Aldridge has to say sorry, no, not at all.


    He is more realistic and has realized that he doesn''t care about the fame of those "famous" stars.


    How much did Lampard have contributed in Millwall in the past?


    Except for this season, he has not played the main force before.


    It was Millwall who had been nurturing him, and the gossip he had on the court during the period had negative news with the third edition of the girl. Aldridge had also been tolerating him. Occasionally, maybe Ronaldinho also had, but Ronaldinho was against Mil What is Wall''s contribution?


    this is the truth.


    Now, with fame and strength, I began to ask for it, and like a spoiled child, I would get angry if I didn¡¯t get it. Yes, the other party is actually very realistic. Since I can¡¯t get it here, just go. Ask elsewhere.


    His departure, in Aldrich''s eyes, was nothing more than a run-off similar to "elimination."


    There is no shortage of geniuses in the giants. A team without talents cannot be called a giant. At most, a prefix is ??added: the former giants.


    In the giants, the success of a genius is to **** up the blood of countless geniuses of the same generation!


    In the past, Solskjaer, Phillips, Tony, Fanny, including Drogba, Spain, Vicente and Joaquin, a pair of gold wings, Vieira, Ferdinand, etc., most of them are similar The situation is that during the same period, being squeezed by better characters without any living space, they can only leave!


    There are only those like Shevchenko, Trezeguet, etc. that Millwall failed to keep and had to let them go.


    Today, Aldridge continued to trust Nedved, Lampard embarked on the same path as many outstanding players before, and left.


    No one in the outside world knows that Lampard¡¯s fate was decided in Manchester United¡¯s dressing room, and no one knew that on the way from Aldridge from Manchester to London, he called the heads of several European top clubs. Among them are Barcelona''s popular candidate Laporta, Real Madrid helm Florentino, Bayern Munich honorary chairman Beckenbauer and so on.


    Both Barcelona and Real Madrid are chasing Beckham. Bayern Munich owns Barack and does not need Lampard.


    When Aldridge returned to London, things were finalized.


    Inter Milan is constrained by Juventus and Mogi in Italy. They rarely buy their favorite players in the country. When Audridge promoted Lampard to Moratti, Moratti agreed to go down and transfer. In terms of membership fees, Inter Milan is also not stingy, and directly issued 25 million pounds. Aldridge quickly cut the mess and nodded.


    After the conversation with Moratti ended, Aldridge called Andrew again and told him the result, without explaining anything, it was unnecessary.


    When he returned home, Aldridge had completely forgotten the team''s work. After entering the house, he dropped his suitcase with relief and sat on the sofa and exhaled, complaining: "It has been too long to leave home. It''s torture."


    Yi Wen took the little princess Bonnie and happened to go downstairs, she smiled and said: "The mouth is not right, in fact, these two months, you have been very happy, haven''t you?"


    Aldridge took Bonnie, kissed her little face tenderly, and then kissed Ewen again without a smile.


    Ewen understands him, and he does not quibble.


    Sitting in the court box to watch the game, it always looks like an outsider, and when I return to the team, even if I can''t eventually reverse the Manchester United defending league, it feels really different. What happened during this period is unforgettable.


    Especially when Wenger was more bitter than him, Aldridge didn''t really feel how tragic it was, after all, there was a backer.


    "Dad, when are we going to leave?"


    Burt and Earl, who ran in from the backyard holding football, cheered happily.


    Aldrich leaned back on the sofa and said weakly: "Let Dad rest for one night. Let''s take an adventure tomorrow, shall we?"


    ...


    The following day, the Aldridge family embarked on a summer journey.


    In mid-June, two major earthquake-level transfers in English football were born.


    28-year-old Manchester United''s number one star, England national team deputy captain Beckham joined Real Madrid for 35 million euros, and the Galaxy warship has the potential to become a giant.


    Lampard, who has just turned 25, is one of the champions of the England World Cup. He landed at Apennine with a transfer value of 25 million pounds, joined the Serie A runner-up for two consecutive years, and Inter Milan reached the semi-finals of the Champions League last season!


    Beckham''s departure is not unexpected. Starting from February this year, the Flying Boot Gate has developed to the end. The outside world has basically strongly predicted this result. Especially when Ferguson led the Red Devils to return to the top of the Premier League. Beckham''s departure was even more It''s a nail.


    The departure of Lampard has caused great controversy. Some people think that it is the loss of the Premier League star. Some people are speculating about the conflict between him and his mentor Aldridge, or whether he is marginalized in the Millwall locker room. Change? be isolated?


    Although the Millwall locker room was headed by Captain Southgate, Millwall has never been a team with a clear English color, and Joe Cole was first abandoned and was cheaply used by Tottenham at the end of the season. 7 million pounds was taken away, and then Lampard left Apennines, and many famous England players determined that Sir Hall¡¯s tolerance of English players reached the limit!


    It is undeniable that the arrogance in the hearts of the British makes it easy for them to drift away when they have achieved some achievements, asking for high salaries, off-site gossip, keen on the limelight, endless open fights, etc., asking for more than contribution, as if, sacrifice The word rarely appears in English people.


    Just when the time came to the end of June, a milestone event occurred in English football, and even UEFA.


    Let¡¯s go back to early June. In England, news of bankruptcy of low-level teams broke out, especially the financial crisis of low-level league broadcasting company ITV, which made the survival of low-level teams even more difficult. It is a new choice to continue to live in the cracks.


    Leeds United survived last season, avoiding bankruptcy by selling a lot of stars, and the team also reluctantly stayed in the Premier League. As for Ritzdale, who said they can still compete before the season, they are only higher than the relegation zone at the end of the season. The ranking of one place makes this joke sound too cold.


    Leeds United is still raising loans around, their operating costs have been greatly reduced, but the previous loans now need to be repaid, it is still a very large burden, so they still have to continue to open source and cut costs to "buy time", otherwise, The end of bankruptcy and liquidation is still inevitable.


    And it was Chelsea who also suffered the economic crisis and broke out completely last summer.


    Last summer''s transfer market could be counted as a penny without Chelsea making a net profit of 500,000 pounds, which is two extreme pictures.


    In the arena, Ranieri proudly promoted the team''s greatness, and put 0 into the summer last season, but can score in the Champions League as evidence of the team''s strength and progress.


    On the other hand, the haze surrounding the huge Chelsea village has not dispersed for a long time.


    For nearly 18 months, Chelsea boss Bates has been overwhelmed by more than 90 million pounds of debt.


    There are three problems he faces. The first is that although Chelsea has built a mature business chain, the team is not particularly good. The restaurants, hotels, various entertainment services, etc. in these business chains have developed slowly. In other words, his early stage Investment, and did not receive a good business return. The second is the huge debt problem of Chelsea, but the debt interest rate is as high as 9%. The third is the huge operating costs of the team. The player¡¯s annual salary alone exceeds 50 million pounds. He cannot meet the rapidly growing 23 million pounds bills. Although he has 160 million pounds of assets, it is a pity that he is The speculative businessman really put all his family''s property into football as a pastime and entertainment, but he didn''t have that courage.


    He has tried ways of selling clubs or financing dilution of equity.


    Just like someone valued Chelsea, whose value is less than 20 million pounds, how could Bates let go?


    In early June, Chelsea faced a desperation similar to Leeds United.


    Barcelona took advantage of the robbery and gave only 6 million pounds to take Hasselbaink. Goodjohnson¡¯s agent encouraged the players to ask for a salary increase, and Arsenal stared at an available sum of money in the contract terms of Gala. Wait...


    In the fierce Chelsea, Bates finally came up with a plan, which is "asset securitization." In the ideal plan, it can raise 120 million pounds and pay off nearly 100 million pounds of debts. Then it can put more than 2000 in the bank. Ten thousand pounds of cash, the price is guaranteed by Chelsea''s season tickets for the next 25 years.


    Bates was very confident about it, so he rejected Barcelona¡¯s ridiculous offer, rejected Good Johnsen¡¯s salary increase request, and warned Arsenal¡¯s Dane to let him go away!


    The plan can''t keep up with changes fast.


    There is no investor interest in the plan that Bates has tinkered with, because the **** case of Leeds United is ahead, and no one wants to accompany Chelsea in the flames. Just like the current debt problem of Leeds United, investors are really lost. Basically At the time of lending 10 pounds to Leeds United, less than 3 pounds could be recovered.


    Some people came to send Bates warmth, and some investment institutions were willing to inject Chelsea to ease Chelsea''s financial pressure and get through the difficulties.


    But the condition was to let Bates "retire", and the investment agency sent another management team to operate the huge Chelsea village. For this condition, Bates refused angrily, and quite a few would rather hold Chelsea together and die, and not step down. Tough attitude.


    However, due to Chelsea¡¯s geographic location and its ¡°social status¡± in London, after all, many of Chelsea¡¯s fans are upper-middle class customers. Perhaps they are not as wild as civilians watching the ball. Sitting quietly in the stands for 90 minutes besides, football can be the most mainstream entertainment project in this country, and London has only one in the world. West London is a noble¡¯s paradise. Chelsea¡¯s Stamford Bridge is in West London, even if it is There is no glorious past, but it is such a "social status", so that it has no shortage of ambitions to watch.


    Some people want to take advantage of the opportunity to buy Chelsea at a low price, and others are willing to spend a lot of money to buy it. The more Chelsea is at the last moment of life and death, Bates''s side has gathered more and more "saviors" because people who want to take over Chelsea, regardless of Whether it''s an individual or a consortium, it''s a mess that was rebuilt after a bankruptcy.


    Now Chelsea, to put it plainly, the problem encountered is one word: money.


    For the rich, this is not a problem.


    London real estate owner Paul Taylor, a consortium represented by London lawyer Mel Goldberg, Suchao Celtics boss Desmond, Venezuelan consortium, Rotch Group...


    Bates has more and more choices, but less time is left for him. Chelsea needs money.

 Chapter 927： Avatar

    Perhaps before July 2003, not many people in the football world knew who Abu was.


    But back in time for a year, in the spring of 2002, when the top of the Champions League battle, Millwall encountered Barcelona and Real Madrid in a row, before the battle started at the Lion King Stadium, Abu took a private plane from Barnett. When he was in London, he was greeted by Andrew Hall, who accompanied him to watch the soul-stirring battle in the stadium.


    A year later, when Abu came to England again to watch the game, the people who met Abu at the airport were Zahawi and Blackburn coach Sonez.


    Zahavi, an agent of Israeli nationality, has his presence in numerous transactions in the English football world, and only a few people know that he is Andrew Hall¡¯s royal follower.


    Andrew doesn''t show his head often. He wants to see him, only when some earthquake-level transfers occur, such as before the World Cup, when he took four Italian internationals to Milan, and some other players traded, he would let others come To come forward, such as Ferdinand''s transfer, Zahavi is Andrew''s representative who was pushed to the stage.


    Andrew probably realized what was going to happen, so starting this spring, Zahavi kept in touch with Abu, and himself, in order to avoid suspicion, money, still have to earn, but did not want to cause some trouble to Audridge .


    After all, if he is too provocative, he will inevitably be involved in some unclear right and wrong.


    Abu came to the UK this year, not to London, but to Manchester. Zahavi greeted Abu with Sonez with the VIP ticket that Andrew had already prepared, and then watched Manchester United and Manchester United at Old Trafford Real Madrid''s exciting battle.


    At the end of April this year, Zahavi held a private meeting with Chelsea executive director Bocchi, discussing issues including Chelsea player transactions, and finally launched a new topic based on Chelsea''s financial issues. Chelsea needs money, while Zahavi knows one A rich man.


    Abu wants to buy a Premier League team, which is no secret in his circles.


    The world position of the British itself is there, and after excluding Manchester United¡¯s political influence, London is the highest.


    From the end of April, throughout the month of May, Abu made a line with Chelsea, but he didn''t pay attention.


    Paying money is simple.


    However, he is a rich man, he can choose goods slowly.


    Unable to buy Millwall, he thought that the second choice was Manchester United, but he was concerned about the turmoil caused by Murdoch''s acquisition of Manchester United, and Manchester''s geographical location, which made Abu finally give up.


    Therefore, his choice is only in London, not even Liverpool.


    Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea.


    Chelsea is the last.


    Arsenal''s situation is too complicated, except for the club''s major shareholders, most of the shares are in the hands of the conservative British.


    Abu really started to entrust Zahawi to help with the negotiation of the deal.


    The representative of the ENIC group, the Jew Levi and Zahavi had a meeting. When Zahavi asked the other party at what price they wanted to sell the 29.9% stake held by the ENIC group, Levi, the Jew thought of Abu as For Kaizi, the direct asking price is 150 million pounds. In fact, Levi¡¯s own valuation is not even 50 million pounds, let alone the total value of Tottenham¡¯s stock does not exceed 80 million pounds.


    So Abu gave up Tottenham again.


    Finally, at the end of June, Chelsea¡¯s stock price was still in a downturn, and Chelsea, hesitant because of Bates¡¯ many choices, seemed to be afraid of losing money. As a result, some rich people who throw olive branches were dissatisfied. When Abu When deciding to start a meeting with Chelsea, it was Chelsea''s last choice, or the best of the remaining choices!


    But this is not the best option from the beginning, because there were consortia bids higher than Abu, but unfortunately, Bates paid a certain price for his greed, but this can be ignored.


    Just after 7pm on June 26, at the luxurious Dorchester Bar, a place where dignitaries and celebrities often come and go, Bates met with Abu and Abu¡¯s entourage. They drank mineral water and ate at the bar. For the snacks, the talks were not protracted, Bates could not withstand the pressure, and Abu was not stingy. After only 45 minutes, the two of them shook hands and reached a deal!


    The next day, Abu and his private team visited Chelsea Village and held a temporary hasty meeting with Chelsea management.


    In the past day, Abu¡¯s funds have been confirmed by Citibank, and the full acquisition is officially launched!


    A hurricane engulfed the English football. At this decayed and desperate time, the impact brought by Abu seemed to reinvigorate the entire English football!


    Despair, from those small teams that are constantly bankrupt, can''t see hope, from Leeds United is still falling, Chelsea seems to inevitably sink into fate!


    The most talked about by people is that the future is getting worse and worse, as if English football is going to death, which has nothing to do with competition, but the survival foundation of a football kingdom is shaking, the team, bankrupt one by one, One by one ushered in reincarnation, even if they still have strong teams such as Millwall, Manchester United, Arsenal, but if there are no other teams, or other teams are in the pace of decline and death, then Milwaukee Uh, Manchester United, their survival, will it be the same as now?


    Because of this, Abu seemed to be like a god. The arrival of him alone changed the destiny of a club living in aristocratic districts in London. It made everyone feel desperate. The irreversible situation was reversed by him alone!


    On the second day of his acquisition of Chelsea, all the headlines of Fleet Street newspapers published all his photos, and he became a household name. He came from cold Siberia to the European center of London, and started from the football circle as a springboard. Known by people all over the world!


    He no longer has to hide in the Kremlin as a mysterious man in the shadow cabinet, although he and his mentor, the exile in England and the former Russian oligarch, are in the same city, but the fate of the two is completely different. One, Every day I have to worry about being quietly brought back to the country to be tried by Russian agents. One can be active in the West as a bright and beautiful man, as a plaything tycoon, away from the center of power in Moscow, free from shackles and free.


    In one day, Chelsea¡¯s stock changed hands over 270,000 shares, up more than 40%. Before the new news was announced, a total of 127 shares were traded, which caused a shock to the London stock trading department. It immediately asked the financial services department to conduct an investigation, and In the end, it was recorded that there were shareholders in Chelsea who took advantage of the opportunity to make huge profits. Five of them and two companies were blacklisted.


    And on July 1st, Chelsea was rescued from the edge of death, and Nirvana was reborn!


    Although there are still many people in the football community expressing concern: a foreign billionaire privately owning the Chelsea club is not a good thing in the long run.


    Compared to death, who can live, who will think about the uncertain future?


    Abu became the most mysterious and most popular headline figure.


    Chelsea ushered in a series of shocks.


    Bates wished to continue to stay in the club as the chairman, began to shoot Abu''s ass, without the pressure to enjoy the past 21 years, even in Chelsea **** has not enjoyed the ease of enjoyment.


    Ranieri was on vacation in France and was told by the club''s directors that all transactions are prohibited!


    Goodjohnson received a call from his agent. His father was right. When he left Millwall two years later, he parted ways with Andrew and let his father act as an agent. Tian, ??his father told him not to rush to sign the new contract, not to show his attitude, drag and wait.


    It seems to everyone that Abu, a rich man with a lot of money, has squeezed oil and water.


    Chelsea, from the first day of the Abu era, has a very different starting point.


    Their goal is "ideal" and their requirement is "perfect".


    Every Chelsea man started to talk about the brilliant future and placed Chelsea directly in the top position in Europe because they regarded Manchester United, Millwall, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ??AC Milan and other teams as competitors.


    As Bates said in an interview: "This is a wedding in paradise. Let us be honest. I have been operating Chelsea frugally. We should have continued this policy, but if we want to work with Millwall Competing with Real Madrid, we need money, a lot of money. With Abu¡¯s financial support behind us, we can compete on the world stage. This has always been my dream and the reason I have been working hard for the club."


    A team that has not had a top league title for 50 years, has suddenly started talking about participating in the top competition in the green world because of the sudden money. Bets, who won 21 years at Chelsea, seems to have not seen the reality.


    On the second day of officially entering Chelsea, Abu and Bates walked in Stamford Bridge stadium, Abu is also reiterating his motivation.


    for entertaining!


    He did not put on a noble sentiment for football to live for football, it is very simple, and many diehard fans have heard adjectives that may be ashamed: entertainment.


    It''s like the process of turning a Russian provincial ice hockey team into the supremacy of the Super League: entertainment.


    But in Russia, the condemnation of Abu has been one after another.


    The chairman of the Russian Football Association said angrily: Abu''s money should be invested in Russian sports.


    The mayor of Moscow also denounced Abu: He betrayed Russia!


    But Abu, as a party, ignored these voices at all. As a mysterious person in the shadow cabinet, he was the closest to the pinnacle of real power in Russia. He needed to be the object of the game. It was not the chairman of the Football Association or the mayor. He just came out. For entertainment, take the initiative to marginalize yourself and avoid angering the iron-fisted gangster. You must know that nearly a hundred Russian oligarchs were still happy and few today. In the future, there may be no one left. Why? In addition to embezzling state property, the oligarchs also tried to control politics and establish political power. Abu came to the Western playthings and lost his spirit, which was a good way to protect himself.


    From this day on, modern football has changed.


    Long ago, football was a public welfare activity, representing the honor and spirit of the community.


    Before yesterday, football was a commodity, an investment commodity like real estate and stocks.


    Starting today, football can be an entertainment tool for the rich.

 Chapter 928： Dreaming occasionally

    "I want the team to win the league and European championships. The goal is to win, not to make money. I have other insurance businesses that make money. I don¡¯t throw money everywhere, but it¡¯s for entertainment, which means to succeed and win. title."


    The popular character Abu became the number one person on the Fleet Street chase, and every sentence of his can make headlines in the newspaper. In addition to Russia''s domestic criticism of whether Abu is transferring property or national betrayal, the British also have doubts about Abu.


    Since it is entertainment, how long will the rich man''s interest last?


    Abu gave the answer personally.


    As soon as Fleet Street came up, he forced him to invest in Chelsea for more than 10 years!


    Abu replied: "It''s hard to say that it is 10 years. Maybe it will be 20 years, 50 years. I see it as a long-term obligation."


    With his answer like this, Fleet Street is not good enough to put pressure on, so the most realistic questions surrounding Abu and Chelsea are coming one after another.


    Team team, a team must be composed of players, Chelsea is imagining a wonderful future, but with 100 million, 1 billion pounds of cash in front of it, it is impossible to realize the dream, after all, it depends on your team , What kind of players are there!


    When the reporter asked him which player he would buy first, Abu said without hesitation: "Henry!"


    Then after talking with his assistant, he said again: "I also like Campbell."


    Then, he seemed to remember his identity and said to reporters: "I will not tell you the names of other players because it will increase their value."


    I have to say that Abu, a non-rich second-generation tycoon, feels that what he says is necessary.


    Just like this sentence "This will increase their value", it sounds cautious, but think about it carefully, if he is not going to take action, but is bragging in the vernacular, why bother with the matter of value?


    On the other hand, some club bosses and presidents will always shout a series of top star names, which sounds bloody, but in fact, their big words are too low-level. If you think about it, you can know the loopholes. Like prey, buyers are like hunters, and there must be a small number of big-fledged buyers, because the more high-profile, the more difficult, and only the low-key transfers are often smoother, and the sensation created is more effective. .


    The much-anticipated Chelsea, the first shot in the Abu era, failed!


    And it was very embarrassing to fail!


    Before Abu officially entered Chelsea, Chelsea''s hero player Zola due to the team''s turmoil and the contract expired, so he decided to return to Italy and signed a contract with his home team, Cagliari in the second division.


    Abu''s first shot was to recall Zola! Even if Zola pays a contract penalty with Cagliari, Cagliari is equivalent to making a profit of ¡ê1.25 million, and Chelsea gave Zola a contract with an annual salary of 3 million pounds!


    However, Zola rejected Chelsea''s call and did not ruin the contract because of monetary benefits.


    Chelsea started the transfer market operation. At the same time, it gave players like Terry a new contract. The generous contract made the players feel the different times and the generosity of the new boss.


    In the transfer market, free signing of Sunderland goalkeeper Marco is a small test.


    Soon, Chelsea caused a sensation!


    Really sensational!


    Head coach Ranieri is out of class!


    Ranieri, who was traveling in France, was swept away by Chelsea before finishing the trip.


    Replaced by Swedish coach Sven Eriksson!


    In fact, Abu met Erickson as early as a year ago. At that time, he had some ideas about the acquisition of Lazio. Through the introduction of people in the circle, they had met 5 times before officially inviting Eriksen to coach at Chelsea!


    Eriksson played a famous role in Serie A, with a "famous World Cup" and "World''s First League" in the background has a great reputation, when the England coach, if there is no Audridge, Erickson can make arrogance The Englishman lowered his head to go to the court to see that his prestige was not bragging, but he came to coach Chelsea, although he can not be said to be the top coach, because he can¡¯t yet compete with Lippi, Capello, Aldridge , Ferguson, Wenger and other coaches are on an equal footing, but at least, Chelsea shows the ambition to the outside world: we are working in the best direction and building this team with the goal of top team!


    Chelsea has ushered in a new coach, but in the signing of players, they present an embarrassing situation to the outside world: rich, can''t spend it!


    On July 5th, a news came from Millwall in East London, which caused a sensation in the entire European football.


    Millwall officially announced that it had received a request for a ¡ê50 million offer from Henry.


    Also announced: Millwall refused!


    Henry is not for sale!


    Millwall did not disclose the information of the buying club, but outside speculation unanimously believes that Abu shot, and he spent a lot of money.


    With this shot, it is necessary to create a new world record for player transfer worth!


    Like this kind of transfer information, the general club does not disclose it to the outside.


    Can talk, everyone sit down and talk slowly.


    If you don''t want to talk, if you can''t talk, you shouldn''t have it.


    But Millwall¡¯s publicity is easily interpreted as: mocking!


    Chelsea, how about you being rich?


    The world''s top star, the best, not that you can buy it with money!


    Especially when they voluntarily release the news, it also represents another kind of confidence, that is, even if Henry learns the news, he has absolute confidence that Henry will not be shaken!


    This is the courage of the giants!


    Late on July 6.


    In the village of Chelsea, the rooftop on the top floor of the hotel was quickly transformed by Abu into a landing platform for private jets.


    At the beginning of the Huadeng, his private plane flew from afar, landing on the roof of the building with a gust of wind. When the gust of wind stopped, a person came down from the plane, and Abu stood at the doorway of the roof and smiled.


    The person came wearing casual clothes, striding towards Abu, and said with a laugh: "I''m just kidding, why should you be serious?"


    Abu didn¡¯t shake hands with each other either, and he leaned over to stretch out his hand and smiled, ¡°Nothing is true or false. Barnett didn¡¯t send me to London like this? It¡¯s a trivial matter, not worth mentioning, Andrew, I I remember you said that you like Ukrainian cuisine. Today I invited a famous chef from Kiev. The dinner is ready. Let¡¯s go, not drunk tonight."


    Andrew also had a golf club in his hand. He played on the golf course in the afternoon. Abu invited him to dinner over the phone. Andrew joked that the other party''s plane would come. As a result, a joke, Abu really let the private The plane flew to pick up Andrew, which is sincerity.


    Walking along the passage from Abu to the inside of the hotel, Andrew played with the taste: "I actually miss the beauty of Ukraine even more."


    "Then, we simply flew to Ukraine today, as long as you have time."


    Abu looks good and has the courage to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman.


    Andrew waved his hand: "Haha, I just miss it, I miss it, you know, I''m married."


    Abu smiled and said nothing.


    At the door of the restaurant, Andrew saw Zahawi and threw the golf club in his hand. Zahawi was confused, and then gave the club to the waiter.


    Sitting down at the dining table, Andrew turned his head to look at Zahavi who followed them. Zahavi was realized by Andrew''s calm eyes for three seconds.


    This dinner is not his share.


    He disappeared automatically.


    Abu and Andrew first tasted the food, and after eating seven points, Andrew took the lead and said: "Barnet, I, Audridge, our three brothers, on the relationship, Roman you and Audridge are The most intimate relationship, this kind of words we can say heartily and honestly, you should be able to understand that Millwall is Aldridge alone, and Barnett and I will neither interfere in his career nor influence his decision. , Millwall refused Henry¡¯s offer, this is a war, Roman may not understand, because you do not understand the relationship between Chelsea and Millwall, back 10,000 steps, you opened a hundred million pounds to impress Aldridge , And cannot get Henry, because the transfer fee is not for Henry, and if Henry transfers to Chelsea, he will be hated by all Millwall people, and at the same time, everything he gets at Millwall will be worthless, The honor he earned in Millwall''s struggle will first be denied by the Millwall Club. People will no longer remember Henry with a great god, but only a greedy traitor. This is absolutely unacceptable to Henry. In fact, few great players can accept it, especially, Chelsea, it is nothing now, there are only, the dream of the sky garden, the future of the mouth, the magnificent pyramid, you have not piled a brick stand up."


    Abu didn''t care about this, he waved his hand and said, "I don''t care what is written in the newspaper."


    Yes, what Millwall''s humiliation against Chelsea, money is not a panacea, and many began to laugh at his voice.


    Abu didn''t care. For him, the more right and wrong, the better, and the more controversy, the better. This is the degree of attention, and also his investment in "playing games" here.


    "Andrew, I invite you to come today, I hope you can help me make suggestions. I hope that Chelsea will be stronger and naturally need good players."


    Although Abu "loves" football, it does not mean that he knows the players in the football circle well. Which players are good? He probably only knew some of the more famous characters.


    However, he firmly believes that money can make ghosts grind, just like the ice hockey team he built in Russia, what relies on it? Not just money!


    Based on the level of the Russian ice hockey league, the ice hockey team created by Abu has a total salary of more than 15 million US dollars. This is the top-level league. The level of the North American NHL is placed in Russia. It''s like if clubs in the Japanese league have an average budget of the Premier League or Serie A, their strength will be the only one in the Japanese league. It is no exaggeration.


    Andrew is also not interested in teaching Abu, anyway, the other party is the boss, and certainly will not do it himself.


    It''s just that picking players is the fun of the boss. Andrew has made a very high-quality list with him and his staff in accordance with Abu''s requirements.


    Vieira, Gerrard, Nedved, Dyer, Davis, Duff, Emerson, Gremy, Belon, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Cowell, Joe Cole, Henry , Fanny, Raul, Irving, Rooney, Ronaldo, C Ronaldo, Vieri, Crespo, Recoba, Cisse, Ibrahimovi?, Shevchenko, Kluivert, Mu Picture...


    If this "list of candidates for recruitment" of more than 30 people is made public, the entertainment that Abu said on the mouth may shock the entire football.


    Andrew looked at Abu, who was smiling, and those members of the aides who joined in the fun.


    Andrew doesn''t laugh at them either, just think they probably equated football and ice hockey.


    Names like Ronaldinho and Nedved, if Andrew objected, it seems that he did not give Abu face. After all, he is his player, but what about it?


    Abu and his team are very happy, and talking about these names is very exciting, as if they have already gotten their hands.


    Andrew can only sigh in his heart: the original super rich people will occasionally dream.

 Chapter 929： Roubles

    If Abu''s current wealth is converted into RMB, then he has a net worth of more than 100 billion RMB.


    The billionaire RMB billionaire recently fell in love with a job.


    Watch video.


    Andrew only gave him a few videos, but, unstoppable from other agents in the UK, countless agents all over Europe took their player video tapes to recommend themselves.


    As a result, the billionaire brought the players through video tapes, and his team began to travel around the world.


    Monday, Milan.


    Tuesday, Turin.


    Wednesday, Monaco.


    Thursday, Paris.


    Friday, Madrid.


    ...


    However, news from all over Europe shows that the dream team this billionaire wants to build is just a mirror.


    Abu personally said: "This is where I am happy. I can participate in the game and the selection of players. The coach will finally decide which position needs the player. I will also participate in the decision."


    Abu, who was so happy, was finally struck by the sounds of rejection one after another, so he began to re-examine European football.


    That''s right, Chelsea are rich.


    Last season, only one unknown player was introduced. This season, all the good players in the world are on their signing list. It seems that they are left to pick them.


    But in actual operation, their negotiation team has repeatedly hit the wall.


    Although there are many bizarre news related to Chelsea every day in the transfer market, and the more and more outrageous, the more exaggerated, but in fact, the problems facing Chelsea''s signing work are very realistic.


    The top teams are not stupid!


    Maybe you can give Ronaldinho and Zidane a price and think they can buy them for money.


    But the reality is that true world-class players have a priceless market!


    In other words, Real Madrid once bought Zidane for 46.5 million pounds.


    But if you take out another 46.5 million pounds, you cannot buy a second Zidane!


    As Arsenal officials said when they rejected Chelsea''s offer to Ibrahimovic and Vieira: "Money, just money, we are building a top team, not destroying it."


    Money can be unlimited.


    There are so many top players.


    The vast majority of the best resources are monopolized by giants.


    Another problem is that Chelsea itself does not have the appeal to world-class players.


    Even if they are rich, they can give a lot of money to players, but for players, this account is really not how much the team pays can be calculated.


    Just like Abu thought he had a trip to Madrid, he would have the opportunity to own Beckham in the future, but in fact, Beckham''s team directly rejected the billionaire''s olive branch.


    Even if Chelsea gave Beckham the world''s top salary, but if Beckham went to Chelsea, Beckham''s commercial value would be greatly reduced!


    The same is true of other world-class players. Although the salary earned in the club accounts for a high proportion of income, but the income off the court is as important.


    In particular, off-court business income and influence can continue to the end of their careers!


    If you go to Chelsea, which does not yet have top competitiveness for the time being, the final career achievements are very ordinary, then the income of this life, and then go back to calculate, may be greedy for the high salary of Chelsea, but in the end it is a loss!


    Rome stopped the transfer of Emerson and declared that Totti was a non-sale item, while Juventus wanted to knock off Davis¡¯s price, even if Davis¡¯s contract with Juventus was left. One year.


    Arsenal let Chelsea go away, don''t fight Ibrahimovic and Vieira''s idea, Liverpool are also wary of Chelsea''s hand reaching Gerald and Owen.


    The most frustrating event for Abu was not to go to Madrid and try to contact Beckham, but was turned away. Count a transfer that could have created "Mr. 100 million" in advance.


    Raul and Florentino had a quarrel. At this juncture, Chelsea stepped in and offered to take Raul away at a price of "100 million euros" and offered Raul a salary of 12 million euros per year.


    Raul''s agent wanted to facilitate this earthquake-level transfer, but Raul''s answer was clean and concise: No.


    Even if he had a conflict with Florentino, he had never thought of leaving Bernabeu.


    Therefore, many people in the world do not understand.


    After all, Abu is crazy and will actually offer players a transfer quote of 100 million euros.


    Or Raul is crazy and has not become the most expensive player, and to earn an enviable huge salary.


    The world of football is crazy.


    Under such a blow, Abu should also understand that money is not a panacea, and Chelsea has not undergone much qualitative change.


    Look down on Chelsea, and will not change attitudes because Chelsea is rich.


    But this is not absolute.


    There must be greedy people in the world, and there is no need to repeat the charm of money.


    For example, Real Madrid''s Makelele, he really wants money, but Real Madrid is not willing to satisfy him, but Chelsea is not bad.


    Makelele was covered by the brilliance of superstars in Real Madrid, and he was not valued. In addition, Florentino actually has a heavy plan this summer. In his territory, Beckham was introduced. In fact, it is a temporary rise. If there is no flying boot door, how can Real Madrid actually operate the 28-year-old Beckham to transfer? Although in Florentino''s view, Real Madrid''s commercialization is only one Beckham away from Manchester United, just waiting for an opportunity, and this opportunity, when making a plan, is unpredictable, only when it appears, the plan will be Was really started.


    The most important signing plan for Real Madrid this summer is actually to win another world-class player: Vieira!


    So, while Florentino didn''t care about Makelele, he sought the possibility of taking Vieira to Bernab¨¦u.


    It''s just that he didn''t expect it to be a fool''s end in the end. Makelele was seduced by Chelsea''s money. Vieira and Arsenal renewed their contract with a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds. Real Madrid''s gorgeous Galaxy battleship has one of the most useful. Drudge!


    Also taken away was Gremi of Real Madrid, for a price of ¡ê7 million.


    There are at least two factors in Gremmi''s ability to be Chelsea. The first layer is that he rented to Middlesbrough last season and performed amazingly on the Riverside Stadium. The second layer has the meaning of being a tiger. Because Manchester United is also very interested in Gremmy, Chelsea seems to mean to beat Manchester United in the transfer market.


    As time went by, none of the superstars Abu wanted was able to come, but the team''s preparations had to start. Some problems that the team had to solve, and places to strengthen, were a top priority.


    So Bridge was taken away from Southampton.


    As a result, a deal that shocked English football was born.


    "Glen Johnson moved to Chelsea for ¡ê10 million!"


    Yes, Millwall sold their players to Chelsea.


    Glen Johnson left the Lion King Stadium with the infamy of traitors and Judah.


    From the beginning of July, Glen Johnson began to gossip with Chelsea, this kid is very hungry for Abu''s money!


    First of all, to say something ambiguous to the media, with an ambiguous attitude, is to give Chelsea a signal.


    Then, put pressure on Millwall Club to double the salary, how many times?


    Ha ha, he had a weekly salary of 5,000 pounds. At his age, in terms of his contribution to the team, Millwall treated him well.


    But he asked for a weekly salary of 30,000!


    It''s a lion''s mouth!


    After Millwall CEO Adam publicly discussed the matter and denied it would give Johnson a new contract, Johnson broke his face.


    In mid-July, when Aldridge returned from vacation and returned to the club for the first time to prepare for the team training, a media reporter stopped his car outside the training base and interviewed him hurriedly, asking him about Johnson¡¯s In his attitude, Aldridge said unkindly.


    "Milwall doesn''t need such an ungrateful animal, he can get out."


    Half a day later, Chelsea¡¯s ¡ê5 million offer was rejected, and then, ten million, the two clubs reached an agreement.


    The sensation of this transfer is not because of a transaction between Millwall and Chelsea, because Glen Johnson is a trivial little person, but at what price Chelsea got Glen Johnson.


    Ten million pounds!


    A year ago, Glen Johnson was still in the reserve team. Last season, Glen Johnson served as a substitute for Schneider. He played only 17 times throughout the season and was quite satisfactory.


    However, Chelsea spent 10 million pounds for him, even though there may be the additional value of Millwall''s youth training must be a premium, but such a price is definitely a mere addition to Chelsea.


    And Chelsea also officially opened the "curve to save UEFA" prologue.


    Years later, people will say that Chelsea changed the European football, especially Abu''s money.


    But in fact, Chelsea''s world-class players who have really fallen heavily are counted in one hand.


    And what have they changed?


    market!


    At the top of the transfer market, Chelsea are not the protagonists. They have money, but they can''t buy superstars. Superstars are not interested in Chelsea.


    What they really changed is the middle part of the transfer market.


    Like Johnson, even if other teams buy from Millwall, if the asking price is 5 million pounds, it is considered sky-high, because Johnson''s performance is not enough to reach 5 million worth, support, 1 million, additional 4 million, then It''s potential gambling!


    Chelsea can''t buy world-class stars, and can only buy them among first-class players and potential new stars. Their bids are at least 30% higher than the normal price. And the players who are involved with Chelsea will be worthless. The span rose.


    The money Abu spent went to save a lot of small teams, making it seem to be going into the market of death and becoming active again.


    Take Southampton as an example. Bridge sold and received 7 million pounds. Southampton had to add money to the lineup. They had to collect players from the lower market. The money was spent partly, layer by layer. Next, the chain reaction triggered is inestimable, and for many small teams, perhaps 1 million pounds can make the situation from difficult to easy.


    Chelsea itself is trading players with the "stupid" criticism of the outside world. They spend a lot of money to introduce players whose strength is lower than the value of the time. On the one hand, they have driven up prices, on the other hand, they have given many small teams a favor. This is an important part of Chelsea¡¯s impact on UEFA. Ten years later, it is estimated that more than 50 teams will all change their gratitude to Chelsea. Despite the names of these clubs, many fans may not have heard of them before. I won''t hear it, even if I hear it, I forget it.


    Chelsea''s price hikes made Aldridge a little unhappy, although after cleaning up Glen Johnson, the side effect is: Millwall spends money to buy people, and the target club will bargain with Chelsea''s standards!


    This price increase is very different from the purchase of 100 million euros Raul.


    Because of Raul, there is only one in the world.


    If Chelsea buys 100 million euros, there will be no second club in the world that sells Ra¨²l and can list 100 million euros.


    But there are many Johnsons in the world, many Bridges, many Gremys, many Duff...

 Chapter 930： Plan cant keep up with changes fast

    The reality is strongly ironic.


    There are many short stories from East London.


    For example, Millwall dismissed Chelsea¡¯s ¡ê50 million offer, Henry was indifferent to the annual salary of ¡ê10 million, and Millwall seniors, led by Adam, mocked Chelsea in the bar after drinking drunk. Chelsea actually paid ¡ê10 million for Johnson... ¡­


    Millwall''s treatment of Johnson''s transfer is calm inside the club, because Johnson is the lowest, most marginal, and least concerned person. His existence and non-existence almost have no effect.


    And the crazy lion fans laughed at him with a despised attitude, leaving Millwall for money? This is not a runaway competition. He has no competition at all, so he wants to make a lot of money, giving up the splendid future he may have in Millwall.


    In addition to contempt, he will also use an ironic tone: He has contributed to Millwall, Chelsea is rich, it is simply great! At that time, Henry bought us 10 million pounds. Now we sell Johnson to Chelsea for 10 million pounds. We can use this 10 million pounds to find the next Henry.


    The deal also created disagreements among the fan community, and some fans believe that Millwall should not sell players to rival Chelsea.


    The rebuttors have two points of view. The first is the feng shui rotation. Millwall used to seduce the young enemies of West Ham United with a high salary. Today Chelsea can also use this method to get from Millwall. Digging people, can this be avoided? Secondly, if you do not sell players to Chelsea, Johnson will tear him up and openly declare that he will join Stamford Bridge, leaving him on the team, the fans see him, wouldn¡¯t it be disgusting like eating a fly? ?


    Aldridge did not give an interview, but Fleet Street learned his attitude through some channels.


    "Johnson? He had hoped that Schneider would have a good development prospect in Millwall when he was about 30 years old, but now that everything has changed, he cannot take Millwall''s No. 7 shirt, He won¡¯t make Glen Johnson¡¯s name special, let¡¯s go, then let¡¯s go, a few years later, we can see who took over the No. 7 shirt and right back left by Schneider Position, at that time, must be a top three player in the same position in the world, because Millwall is pursuing perfection."


    As soon as he entered mid-July, Millwall''s team training kicked off. On the first day of returning to the team, in addition to cleaning up Johnson, at the end of training, he called Ronaldinho to the office, watching the small Luo Weiwei had a blessed belly and asked, "Can it disappear within a month?"


    Ronaldinho squeezed the fat around his waist embarrassedly, and he packed the ticket firmly: "Two weeks!"


    I''m afraid he will sweat a lot in the gym.


    Aldridge took a string of shell necklaces from the drawer and handed them to him, saying: "This was carefully selected after Earl picked shells at the beach. The string was made into a necklace and I gave it to you. Thank you for your guidance before the end of last season. He plays football."


    Ronaldinho looked surprised, and took the necklace with a smile. When he looked down and admired, he found that the inside of the beautifully sized shell was carved with words on each back, and it was crooked, obviously not from the master. It must be the earl. The little guy personally engraved it.


    A chain of necklaces, the letters inside each shell form a sentence.


    "King of the World: Ronaldinho."


    Ronaldinho wore it directly on his neck and matched it with his training T-shirt. He didn''t feel well coordinated. He liked it very much. He laughed and said, "I just played with him casually and didn''t teach him anything."


    Since Aldridge came back to coach last season, his two sons have been training on the youth team. Ronaldinho sometimes ran around when he had nothing to do. Originally, he had a good relationship with Earl and accompanied him when he was bored. That''s it.


    After Ronaldinho left, Aldridge in the office inquired about the progress of the transfer section.


    Before his vacation ended, the club had finalized the list of signings.


    The front line is worry-free, and the back line does not need to be recruited, but now Johnson is missing. In the link of the full-back, there are hidden dangers and it is reluctant. After all, Neil can play the full-back, but from a long-term development perspective, it is still A newcomer is needed, and it should be possible to promote the 17-year-old Ramos, but he alone is still thin, especially on the other side, and Baines is not very old.


    In the midfield line, Aldridge asked Jenson to find an organization midfielder substitute before the end of last season. It must be mainly young people. After all, Alonso¡¯s age is there, and he is willing to play for Alonso. That is naturally younger than Alonso.


    The results given by Jenson really continued the true nature of Millwall''s team building style.


    Others are basically buying players now, or buying players in the past.


    Millwall, and Arsenal, are basically the future of buying players.


    Aldrich looked at the person in Jenson''s face, and was quite satisfied.


    Lisbon Athletic Youth Twins.


    Moutinho and Veroso.


    Originally, one of two choices, Aldridge directly let the team bring both of them.


    One is Verroso, who has just turned 17 years old, while Moutinho won''t be 17 until September.


    Veroso can be used as a substitute for De Rossi in the future, and Moutinho can be used as a substitute for Alonso.


    Sporting Lisbon is probably aware of the storm from Chelsea on the side of the Premier League. At first, he didn''t die, and he didn''t want to let go.


    But when the two players heard that Millwall was interested in them, they were obviously moved.


    So since the beginning of July, they have been negotiating, and the tug-of-war on the transfer fee can''t stand still.


    The Sporting Lion of Lisbon opened his mouth and demanded ¡ê20 million.


    He also kept saying: Glen Johnson, you sold to Chelsea for 10 million pounds, that is just a mediocre kid, and our players are veritable geniuses.


    Is this retribution?


    Too **** ironic.


    Anyway, Glen Johnson had a record in the Premier League. For the two boys of Atletico Lisbon, the record in the professional league is zero!


    "Boss, Lisbon''s voice is very firm, and the bottom line is fixed at 15 million pounds."


    "Fuck, give it to him! End early! The further you drag, the bigger the variable!"


    Aldridge annoyed to hang up the phone.


    At this time, the pound to euro is almost 1:1.5.


    15 million pounds, equivalent to almost 23 million euros.


    Buy two 17-year-old Maotou boys.


    It is estimated that the media in Chelsea recently was mocking, and they would immediately turn their guns to mock Millwall.


    However, Aldridge did not regret it. The transfer in the market has always been fast-changing. Moreover, Millwall has made a big move. If other clubs have completed the main recruitment work, turn back and find Millwall¡¯s main attack. Objects, if there is a problem, there will be a disruptor, and when the time comes, maybe 15 million pounds will not be able to get down.


    In that situation, Millwall didn''t want to suffer a big loss, so he would be sore after the transfer.


    But what about the team''s plan this season?


    Was it still affected?


    Going to North America to play warm-up soon, Aldridge doesn''t like to delay the transfer for too long.


    He hopes that when the team flies to the United States, the transfer activity will be closed, preparing for the new season with peace of mind.


    Today''s planned work is over, Aldridge is ready to get up and go home, when someone knocks on the door of his office.


    Seeing Klose, Aldridge smiled and asked the other to sit down. Klose was more relaxed. After sitting down, he began to chat with Audridge and talked about a lot of past things.


    "Boss, I thought your promise to my parents was fulfilled."


    "Boy, I have had a great time in Millwall these years. You let me see the most beautiful scenery. Although I am not the owner most of the time, I learned a lot of valuable experience."


    ...


    Hearing Klose''s words, Aldridge was not in a heavy mood, and finally in silence, he said: "You want to go, right?"


    Klose nodded gently.


    Aldridge looked dazed.


    At this time, he and Lampard proposed a very different emotion when he left.


    On the contrary, he can understand Klose.


    In front of Lampard, is Nedved, who is 31 years old this summer. Two years, at most two years at most, Lampard does not want to wait.


    Klose, who was just 25 years old, was in front of Henry, who was about to turn 26.


    If Henry''s condition is no problem, no injuries, Klose has almost no possibility of superiority.


    The original window paper was not pierced in the summer of 02, until last season Klinsmann put Klose Fu up, and at the end of the season, Aldridge put him into the bench lineup, Klose also Recognize the reality.


    It''s not that he doesn''t want to compete or lack courage.


    This past season, he has been more stable than anyone else''s starter. He has scored 19 goals in the league, which is already a very good number of goals. However, compared with Henry in the past few seasons, the gap is Double digits!


    This is no longer a question of whether he can wait for higher status.


    A genius, covering countless geniuses, the competition of the giants is so cruel.


    Aldridge said blandly: "When I brought you to Millwall, I originally thought that today you will be Millwall''s number one striker, and no one can shake it."


    The plan can never catch up with the fast change.


    Henry, who was desperate for five times, was not in Aldrich¡¯s original plan, because the failure of one, two, and three times made him think that there was no possibility with Henry. However, the peak turn, and eventually he got Henry, and this changed Audrey Qi initially thought of Klose.


    Although Klose can still play as a winger, it would be too unfair to him if he stayed hard to play as a winger, because "can play" and "top" are two different things.


    In the winger, Ronaldinho can''t compete with the future, Ronaldinho now, in the center, a Henry, how many centers have Miller back and forth desperately carrying the burden to leave?


    Aldridge¡¯s mentality is more open-minded. Compared with the fact that Shevchenko and Trezeguet left the front line at least, Fanny, Drogba, and now Klose who left behind are very good. At least the main core of Millwall was not shaken.


    This situation is the same as before.


    "Want to develop in the past?"


    Aldridge asked inquiries.


    Klose shook his head and smiled, "I don''t have a specific idea yet, but I don''t want to stay in the Premier League anymore, because I don''t want to play for Millwall''s league competitors. If I will meet in the European War in the future, I hope Mill Wall fans don¡¯t boo me."


    Aldridge smiled: "No, at least, I haven''t seen Millwall fans boo Trezeguet and Shevchenko, and Elgra. Even when they returned from Pirlo last season, the fans also No shushing them."


    "No, I can''t compare with them. They have brought tremendous brilliance to Millwall. My contribution here is insignificant."


    "It''s wrong to say that. You have been a reliable player for us all these years. Maybe the data is not gorgeous in a season, but the contribution is definitely great."


    A stable substitute, a good substitute player, the role will be very obvious, a team itself can not rely on 11 players to beat the world, let alone like Millwall in the past few years in the South and the North in a season of 70+ games. game.


    The carpenter was leaving, Aldridge invited Klose to dinner with his girlfriend at home at night, wishing him a smooth future.

 Chapter 931： Big Three

    Last year, Klinsmann was left with a large, even slightly crowded lineup. In addition to the precautionary idea, there was also an embarrassing situation that would prevent Klinsmann¡¯s selection from being stretched.


    According to Aldridge''s philosophy of leading the team in the past, the soldiers are not expensive, and it is impossible to have 30 people last year. This year it was still 30 people. In the future, it will always be 30 people. It must be reduced.


    It is not unexpected for some people to leave, and it is enough that the final roster can be maintained at around 25 people. First, to ensure stability, and secondly, to use the coach on the players themselves, they have to be forced to be firm! Avoid swinging among several players.


    Klose''s departure was not beyond Aldridge''s expectations, but it was only a year earlier than he planned.


    Because at the end of this year, Villa will be 22 years old.


    Villa must be given more opportunities.


    The 14-year-old Spanish kid who was brought to Millwall by Aldridge has always been given high hopes by Aldridge, but he originally planned to hone Villa in multiple positions this season. He is not in a hurry to shape him early, just like the early Henry, who played as a winger, can adapt to a more free and open offensive system for a wide range of activities between the side and the middle.


    But since Klose has now proposed to leave, Villa will play a more important role in the new season.


    In the past, he was a little brother who was protected under the wing of his big brother. He could make mistakes and occasionally squander opportunities. Even if he was pointed out by thousands of people, he was sheltered from the wind and rain by his head, and from now on, he must have a unique awareness and Fighting spirit.


    European football is changing.


    Abu''s entry into Chelsea opened the prelude to the Jin and Yuan era.


    Future football competition will be more brutal. The stronger the stronger, the stronger the concentration of genius being monopolized.


    Therefore, a team that wants to be the overlord again will have higher requirements for the team.


    Like Nedved and Larson, even if the condition remains good, Aldridge believes that they must retreat to the second line two years later. Among them, Southgate and Larson, the two have played this season. At the beginning, it was cut. On the one hand, it was to move the newcomers. On the other hand, it was to better extend the professional life. Their precious experience and spiritual symbol made them even sitting on the bench, as long as they were with the team. Valuable wealth, rare power.


    Millwall has just finalized a transfer agreement with Atletico Lisbon and officially announced the joining of Moutinho and Veroso.


    Millwall was indeed mocked by Fleet Street, and some even thought that Millwall was competing with Chelsea for financial resources.


    After signing two midfielders, Aldridge announced the addition of a coach.


    French international Blanco retired last season, the Millwall coaching staff recruited new recruits, he came to apply for a new contract, Millwall''s coaching staff, after leaving Klinsmann last season, a newcomer joined them.


    Compared with the team in 2002, Millwall''s coaching staff is obviously one more person, Aldridge is trying to reduce his task.


    Like before, Klinsmann was partnered with Jenson and was also a teaching assistant. Now Jenson has a bigger responsibility. The addition of Stella Maggioni and Blank will make the work of the coaching team more planned. Careful, Aldridge only focuses on the general direction, and the details are handed over to the coaching staff.


    The 18-year-old Ronaldo seems to be taking the lead, leading Moutinho and Verroso to worship the mountain in the team, introducing each teammate to know them, quite owner-conscious, and also a fellow Portuguese, dyed his hair Ronaldo, who started wearing earrings, even hoped that Audric would bring some Portuguese players.


    For example, as the main force of U17, Cristiano Ronaldo highly esteemed a teammate who was more famous than him at the time, hoping that Aldridge would buy him on the team.


    After all, he and his teammate brought the European Youth Championship back to Portugal U17.


    But after hearing the names of players recommended by Ronaldo, Aldridge asked Ronaldo: "I bought him, do you compete with him?"


    Ronaldo immediately shut up and stopped talking about it.


    How brutal the competition in the Millwall team is, Ronaldo knows.


    In fact, there is only one position he can stare at. That is Larsen¡¯s right winger. During the same period, Dutch Peter Pan Robben has competed with him. Anyway, Ronaldinho¡¯s position is nobody. Can shake.


    And his teammate is also a winger.


    Named Quaresma.


    Recently, he is a celebrity in the transfer market and is being contested by Manchester United and Barcelona.


    It was eventually taken away by Barcelona for almost ¡ê4.5 million.


    Through this transfer, we know how much impact Abu has on the European football transfer market after joining Chelsea.


    Quaresma''s fame is definitely bigger than Bridge, Johnson, or even, just a little smaller than Duff.


    However, Barcelona bought Quaresma for less than 5 million pounds, and Chelsea did not buy players below 5 million pounds.


    It is also understandable why Millwall spent 15 million pounds to buy the Lisboa midfielder youth academy Gemini would be laughed at.


    This is a chain reaction. If there is no Abu to take over Chelsea, Millwall may be able to pack and take the two with a price of less than 10 million pounds.


    But in the final analysis, this is a willing to fight, a willing to buy and sell, Manchester United do not want to be slaughtered, Barcelona also do not want to be slaughtered, plus players make trouble, the club will let go, Aldrich side, although The outside world thinks that Millwall was slaughtered, but Aldridge doesn''t think so.


    In his eyes, it is a question of value and worthlessness.


    Like Quaresma''s ¡ê4.5 million, he still thinks it is expensive, but he doesn''t want to post it, it is a burden.


    In order to find the next home for Klose, Aldridge did not go to the operation, but gave it to Andrew. As Klose''s agent, he naturally had to work hard.


    Except for some players who are cleaned up by the club or lack of suitors will be actively listed by the club, other players will basically not be listed. When looking for buyers, there will be agents who will act as intermediaries to contact all parties. Players, the market is not large.


    Just like Lampard, he can afford the money and the clubs he is willing to go to.


    Klose, as Germany¡¯s current main striker, World Cup runner-up, and a stable substitute in Millwall in the past few years, stabilized the main starter last season and handed over 34 league appearances and 19 goals in the league. It cannot be said that it is hot. But there is no lack of interest from buyers.


    But after combining various factors, Andrew respected Klose''s personal choice, and the little carpenter wanted to return to Germany to develop.


    The team that Germany can choose from is definitely one or two.


    The first one is definitely Bayern Munich.


    Andrew was only the first contact with Bayern Munich manager Hernes and showed great interest in convenience.


    Originally, Bayern Munich was considering introducing a striker this summer. The Dutchman Marcay was in the picture. Now with the choice of Klose, a German player, they are willing to look at Millwall''s asking price.


    In Bayern Munich, Hernes is definitely an important person, and it is difficult to describe. To borrow the words of Beckenbauer: Bayern Munich can be without me, but it cannot be without Hernes.


    He has contributed to bringing Bayern Munich from the brink of bankruptcy back to reality and becoming the most successful club in the Bundesliga.


    Clubs such as Bayern Munich take a pragmatic and low-key route. Every transaction is carefully calculated. The success of the club is definitely related to the big three fans are talking about, even if Beckenbauer becomes the honorary chairman, but the successor It''s not bad, in a word: people who know the ball are managing the club.


    When Henes asked Millwall for the asking price, there was no fanfare, or even the outside world did not get the slightest noise.


    And Aldridge''s reply to Hernes, put the Bayern Munich seniors in a tangled situation.


    Hopfner, Hernes, Rummenigge, the Bayern Big Three, squinted in the conference room, in front of the three people sitting in full force, there was a fax on the table.


    This is Millwall''s reply.


    The key content is clear at a glance.


    25 million pounds.


    ¡ê10 million + Schweinsteiger.


    15 million pounds + Philip Lahm.


    Rumenige glanced at the fax and said in a deep voice: "25 million pounds, we are not Real Madrid."


    Buying a striker with the money that Real Madrid bought Beckham, Bayern Munich is not fake, but never spend money, and rarely spend big money.


    Hernes was very talented in financial management. When he was playing football, he spent his spare time in his spare time, but he was working on stocks and securities.


    Out of a keen sense of money figures, Hernes said for a long time in silence: "In Hall''s eyes, Schweinsteiger is worth 15 million pounds?"


    Hopfner shrugged: "Why not? Schweinsteiger will definitely be worth more than 15 million pounds in the future."


    This is a consensus within the Bayern Munich club.


    From the youth team to the first team, Schweinsteiger, nicknamed the Little Pig, feels amazing.


    Last season, he played 14 times in the league as a substitute and also appeared on the Champions League stage.


    Although Hernes questioned, he actually asked the next question.


    "Philip Ram, why is it worth ¡ê10 million in Hall''s eyes?"


    Ramby is about one year older than Schweinsteiger, and will be 20 years old by the end of the year.


    However, Ram did not have a record in the first team at Bayern Munich and could not even get a substitute!


    Even, the giant who controls the team manager business, he is hesitant about the renewal of Ram''s contract.


    In fact, the reason why Ram is almost 20 years old and has not yet been recognized by Bayern Munich comes from a big era background.


    German football is in a period of transformation and the revolution is on its way.


    In the general direction, it is in the process of abandoning the successful and glorious 352 in the past to 442.


    Midfielders, forwards, central defenders, goalkeepers, player training in these positions will not change much.


    However, the only full-back is the transition from the past full-wing training to the regular 442 full-back.


    Ram, although he played midfield in the youth team, he was actually the first batch of defenders trained from 352 to 442 against the background of the era of German football!


    Reform means including experiments, whether Ram is successful or not, and whether it will work or not. Bayern is cherishing an uncertain attitude. Lizarazu is 33 years old and will be 34 years old by the end of this year. Ram could not even hit the bench!

 Chapter 932： The worlds first in the future

    Bayern Munich is puzzled and entangled: they give cash directly, they hurt.


    If Schweinsteiger was added to the transaction, they were afraid of losing money.


    But since Ram can reach ¡ê10 million, they have to wonder if the club''s positioning of Ram has gone wrong.


    In other words, if a club is willing to pay 10 million pounds for Ram, the conversion fee is about 15 million euros, they may immediately agree.


    It''s just that you must think twice before making this deal for Millwall.


    Aldridge''s transfer operations in the past were not as market-oriented or smart as the merchants.


    He just works in the concept of building a team and making the team better.


    Rather than worrying about how much a player is worth and how much money he can sell, first of all to satisfy himself, if a player is eliminated, then selling and cashing out is a good deal.


    But it is not his style.


    If he were a city businessman, the Bayern Munich Big Three would not think too much.


    But they all understand that Aldridge knows the ball, because it is an expert, this shot is not sloppy, nor will it particularly care about the gains and losses.


    "I heard that Millwall had a full back who was sold."


    Hopfner remembered what happened in England.


    Rumenig asked subconsciously: "He just needs a replacement?"


    Hernes gave Rummenigge a blank look and felt that the other party had asked nonsense.


    If Ram can shake Schneider and Ashley Cole, the main force of the England and German national teams, then Ram has already played the main role in Bayern Munich.


    At a glance, Millwall just needs a full-back, and the other person''s reserve is thin.


    Time waits for no one, and gives Bayern Munich the Big Three more time. I am afraid they will not be able to determine whether Ram is worth 10 million pounds or more through discussion and observation.


    In the case that they did not want to pay cash in full, and did not want Schweinsteiger to be released, they chose the third condition to add Ram to the player transfer transaction. However, the price must be suppressed first.


    Aldridge obviously lacked patience. The club was about to go to North America for a pre-season warm-up. He directly gave Bayern Munich an ultimatum.


    It was reduced by ¡ê2.5 million from the previous price.


    All three conditions are reduced by 2.5 million pounds.


    In the end, Bayern Munich officially agreed to transfer with Klose for 12.5 million pounds.


    Klose has no problems here, and there is little resistance to contract treatment.


    But Millwall needs to convince Ram to join.


    Ram''s original news was that the new season will be loaned out by the club. It has not yet been decided where the loan will go, which makes him a bit lost.


    He was even more disappointed when he learned that he was added to the player trade as a bargaining chip.


    However, Aldridge called him personally and said only one sentence. Ram did not hesitate to notify the club that he agreed to transfer and began to pack his luggage to England.


    That sentence, he may not forget it in his life, making his heart burn unprecedentedly like never before.


    "Come to Millwall and fight for the world''s number one in the future."


    Ram left Germany and aimed at England, like Barack, Schneider, Klose, Bout, when will he return? He didn''t know, but he thought that he had a clear goal: the world''s first!


    And after many years, the question issued by Rummenigge at this time was regarded as nonsense by the other two giants, and became the biggest regret in the hearts of the Bayern Munich Big Three.


    "He just needs a replacement?"


    ...


    The reality is not only full of irony, but also full of reversal.


    Millwall sold Johnson, Klose, and Adriatic could not even imagine that he got Ram.


    Unlike some small clubs, such as Aldridge getting Ramos, Moutinho and other good seedlings, they are all non-grandmothers. To put it bluntly, it can be solved with money.


    But some of the most powerful genius embryos are now the most vigilant in Europe.


    Aldridge!


    Anti-he is simply anti-wolf!


    Like, Iniesta in Barcelona, ??Cambiasso in Real Madrid, Aldridge tried to ask for prices last summer, and didn¡¯t expect to pick up cabbages to take people away, just give them a similar price, but, The La Liga duo were so scared that they immediately labeled the players as non-sales, and also attracted the attention of the Spanish media. They speculated that the two were unborn geniuses, future Golden Globe contenders, future team leaders and the like.


    According to information sources in some circles, Audric¡¯s inquiry made Barcelona and Real Madrid re-examine the two men at the same time, obviously raising their club positioning, but after a year, it felt like it was back. Former state.


    It is difficult to take young talents from the rich talent pool, especially some young players who have not been proved to be genius or mediocre, and Aldridge has a little "dignity awareness", like he can stare At the age of Fabregas, he did not want to do this, but he was unwilling to do so and lost his identity. Moreover, this kind of operation itself is not just a transaction, it should be a commitment greater than a transaction. He cannot give some young geniuses a promise. , Just got the player himself, what''s the point?


    In mid-to-late July, Aldridge announced Ram''s joining and Klose''s transfer away, and the team embarked on a pre-season warm-up journey to North America.


    The trip to the United States to perform is actually two warm-up matches. The sponsor organized an extremely high-quality warm-up friendly match. Millwall, Inter Milan, Lyon, Barcelona, ??four teams played in the cup match, the knockout ranking system, the first The winners compete for the championship, and the losers compete for the third place.


    At Heathrow Airport in London, the Millwall team met a lot of acquaintances.


    It¡¯s not that the enemies don¡¯t get together, the Chelsea team is here, the Liverpool team is here, and their executives are included.


    Chelsea is going to Malaysia for the Premier League Asian Cup.


    Liverpool is on a trip to the Far East.


    They are waiting for the passenger plane, and Millwall is here to board their special passenger plane directly.


    Millwall¡¯s private jets are used by the club, but they are also subject to British Airways¡¯ control. The annual cost is drawn from Aldridge¡¯s private pocket, but the club is his own, and it cannot be distinguished between public and private.


    Compared to Chelsea and Liverpool still waiting, Millwall stayed a little longer, and after the airport staff coordinated, he could enter the dedicated passage and then leave London.


    Aldridge greeted Chelsea''s new coach Eriksson and Liverpool coach Holier respectively.


    Today Aldridge is dressed casually, wearing a dark blue work T-shirt from Millwall Club, casual pants, wearing a pair of stylish sunglasses, and sitting there waiting to say hello.


    The players greeted each other knowingly.


    At this time, the chairman of Chelsea, Bates jumped out and beckoned with Millwall.


    "Haha, Millwall guys, do you want to come to Chelsea to play? Give you double salary!"


    This fellow is estimated to be smug!


    Didn''t see that in the Chelsea team, Glen Johnson was hiding directly behind Terry, and he didn''t dare to be in direct contact with Millwall''s team.


    Aldridge glanced at Bates, not interested in taking the leapfrog clown.


    Many Millwall players also disdain, Ronaldinho turned his eyes, pulled Schneider and Henry to walk to Bates, Ronaldinho asked with a smile: "Really? Double salary?"


    "Cough cough..."


    Bates stepped back and forth, afraid to answer the call.


    Abu has money, but not Bates'' money.


    Ronaldinho, Schneider, Henry, if the salary of these three people doubles, Chelsea''s salary expenditure will skyrocket by more than 20 million pounds a year.


    Bates was thick-skinned, and turned around when it didn''t matter, Ronaldinho was scolded by Aldridge and then raised his eyebrows back.


    Witnesses at the scene sold the news to Fleet Street, and the atmosphere in the airport changed subtly.


    When Liverpool spoke to Bates, Liverpool¡¯s management staff, Dales, gritted his teeth and shouted at him: "Get out!"


    Bates''s face is not a taste, he may have suddenly changed from a life of embarrassment and depression to being chic and relaxed, so he greeted him in his unique humorous way.


    But in Aldrich''s opinion, this man was a bit stupid at the moment.


    It is undeniable that Bates''s words are very realistic. Buying players, money must be very important.


    Digging people, we must increase the wages of the other party.


    Open mouth is double wages, except for Millwall''s hundreds of thousands of big-name players, many other players, especially Liverpool, there are not a few players with salaries below 30,000 weekly wages, if they are tempted , Chelsea really can afford it!


    However, such a large public and honestly speaking in front of everyone.


    Your joke seems out of place.


    Whether it will be too explicit, even if some players intend to invest in Stamford Bridge to make big money, but you are so troublesome, don''t you give someone the handle? Those players who want to go to Stamford Bridge to show Chelsea afterwards will inevitably be linked to what happened today.


    Taking another step back, Bates may not see that Chelsea¡¯s players are not as pleased as he is. When he asked others if he wanted to play for Chelsea in a crazy tone, there were at least 10 players in the Chelsea team. The expression was dignified, and even someone frowned and showed dissatisfaction.


    When Ronaldinho, Henry, and Schneider walked in front of Bates, there were four or five Chelsea players who were nervous and enemies.


    It is conceivable that the team''s starting position is 11 pits. Chelsea bought two or three players in different positions, and it is a star. It will affect the future of at least 45 players in the team. The former main force may be deprived. , The former bench, may be swept out.


    Bates is so troublesome, Chelsea players are dissatisfied with him. The new coach Eriksson is as black as carbon. He is not right with Bates. Before Ranieri had not been in class, Eriksson and At the stage of rumors in Chelsea, Bates made a statement that was not interested in Eriksson, but he did not have the right to make a decision, but he had an open mouth, especially after Chelsea was sold by him, as if to say that he did not have to take responsibility. It is even more unscrupulous.


    Soon, Aldrich, led by a team of airport staff, walked into a special passageway to prepare for boarding and leaving London.


    Millwall was the last to come, but the first to leave.


    Liverpool and Chelsea are still waiting. Bates gritted his teeth and had to admit that Millwall was not born in a noble place, but Millwall is more and more noble and free.


    After everything that happened in the airport reached Abu''s ears, Bates'' behavior made Abu and his team feel worried.


    Although he promised to keep Bates in office until 2005, some actions of Bates made Abu feel too cheap!


    Abu rarely showed aggression in dealing with others, and even appeared more intimate, so he could quickly enter the British high-ranking social circle, make friends with the British prince, and also be able to lend his private plane to aliens generously. Ronaldo, when it comes to the transfer of players, Abu is either silent, or he will do what he says, instead of using a cannon like Bates is useless.


    Chelsea''s dream lineup was different from Abu''s original vision when it was formed in the first year. The summer preparations have already begun, but they are still making waves in the transfer market.

 Chapter 933： Hope Millwall has Figo

    After traveling to the United States, Millwall officially announced that the transfer market was closed.


    No more players will come and no more players will leave.


    Three players have gone, three players have come in, the entry and the exit are balanced, and Millwall returned to Audridge as the head coach and then returned to the state of buying the player in the future. Unlike last summer, Aldridge will spend a lot of money to bring a world-class star like Nesta to the team.


    The lineup left by itself last season is not a temporary lineup, but has great potential. This summer is mainly based on excessive stability.


    Reconstructing this topic has been discussed since last summer, and now it is down to earth to achieve its goals. The team has not changed much, it has been turbulent, and it makes sense.


    Millwall is dominated by most of his veterans, and a new generation of third-line successors are also prepared. Ronaldo, Robben, Villa, Rooney, Ribery, Alonso, and Dro West, Kaka, and defenders also have Silva, Ram, Baines, Ramos, who are critical, and there is Joe Hart in the goalkeeper position.


    This time I went to the United States, in addition to the warm-up game, there was cooperation and exchange between Millwall and several NBA clubs in the United States.


    Just as Millwall''s North American practice started as planned, a man from England''s football scene was welcomed in the mansion of Milano and Moratti.


    Abu and Moratti also knew each other. This time he was in Milan, he asked Moratti for the knowledge of running a club.


    At least in Abu''s view, Moratti is the closest person to him.


    Abu did not like the management model of the Premier League.


    In Italy, the coach is the coach, the power is in the locker room, the role of the manager is taken by others, and is controlled by the boss, while in the Premier League, the coach and the manager are mostly a role, the more traditional the club, for this The clearer the division.


    Like Ferguson, Wenger, and other traditional clubs in the British style, the club has budgeted and the head coach made a decision. For example, when Liverpool was later acquired by a foreign boss, it opened the curtain of "fighting" similar to Italy and Spain.


    Now the outside world is waiting for Chelsea¡¯s defeat, waiting for Abu¡¯s disgraced in the Premier League, as the boss of Newcastle United said: We have invested more than 200 million pounds in the past few seasons, but our honor room is still empty, Abu It will soon be understood that money cannot buy champions.


    Abu looked disapproved and even ignored the old tradition of England.


    Can understand his psychology.


    He spent almost 300 million pounds on buying clubs, paying off debts, and repairing the stadium to rebuild the youth training system.


    He saved a club.


    He will come up with a huge transfer budget for the team.


    Then, he was not allowed to intervene in the team''s transfer operation?


    What is the reason?


    Tradition?


    Go to hell!


    In this respect, Moratti is actually very similar to him. However, in Italy, Moratti is at best ridiculed for spending money, but no one will accuse him of spending money to buy the player of his choice is wrong. This is Italy. Tradition, like AC Milan''s Lao Bei if he specifies who to buy and eventually buy a parallel, the unfortunate thing is that the head coach is useless, and no one will accuse Lao Bei of spending money to plug the team into a burden.


    Moratti gave Abu a warm hospitality and shared his experience with Inter Milan for many years without reservation.


    At the end of the conversation, Abu, who was holding a tea cup, suddenly asked: "Sir, I don''t understand something. In my eyes, AC Milan and Inter Milan''s mutual hatred should far exceed Chelsea and Millwall. However, AC Milan and Inter Milan have not blocked club transactions in recent years, and even seem to be frequent, but in English football, if Chelsea want to get Millwall players, it will be a very low probability Things."


    Abt deliberately used the word "frequently" because the club itself transfers twice a season, with summer being the main one and winter patching, and it is impossible for a team to buy or sell 10 people this year and another 10 next year. Personally, on average, 2-4 deals in a season are almost the same. No matter how many, it can only show that this team is unstable for a long time!


    It is against this background that anyone who can trade with each other three times in five years can be called frequent. After all, there are too many teams in the UEFA world. Even if the top teams come in handy, they will eventually come to this market. It is huge to the global scale.


    Moratti chuckled and played with the taste: "Didn''t Chelsea just got a Millwall player?"


    Abu frowned lightly and said lightly: "To be honest, this deal, I just throw a stone to ask for directions and try to see if things are absolute."


    Abu was ridiculed by the outside world as an injustice, but the outside world did not understand Abu''s attitude towards Millwall.


    He wanted Henry, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Nedved, Nesta, Ashley Cole.


    But as the agent of most of the players in the team, Andrew directly told him an answer: impossible.


    Abu thought it was a matter of commission, and because of friend relations, he could only ask indistinctly, but Andrew told him indifferently: "You can try a quotation, no matter how much the quotation, Millwall will not agree, unless you open a Not only crazy, but also makes you laugh at the price of the world for ten or twenty years."


    For example, if he opened 200 million pounds to buy Henry, and then gave Henry a contract that was absolutely difficult to refuse, then why didn¡¯t Millwall sell players?


    The premise is that Henry will be impressed. Secondly, the Millwall Club will not be blinded by emotions. 200 million pounds will allow them to lay a more solid future. In the eyes of the club, no player is indispensable. The most important thing is profit and loss. Consider.


    At this time, basically more than 100 million pounds, plus contract spending, Chelsea really dare to make such a deal, in addition to fans will be shocked, admired, despised, etc. crazy, but most people in the real football circle will laugh at Chelsea.


    why?


    What is the annual operating income of Chelsea?


    They may have owned a player at the cost of 3 years and 4 years of total income. Don¡¯t consider how such a detached player will impact the team¡¯s locker room. Only the financial terror deficit makes Chelsea a toy for the rich. Is more deeply ingrained.


    Abu didn¡¯t really care about the arrival of Glen Johnson, because this kid was an unknown player, and he was not on the list of recruits he made. It was just that the team really needed a full-back. Five million pounds was rejected, and Abu directly doubled the price and did not expect Millwall to agree.


    But then, he tried to give Ronaldo and Nesta a quotation, proposed 30 million pounds for the former, and the latter gave 40 million pounds, without exception, were directly rejected by Millwall.


    Millwall didn''t publicize it because the team was going to prepare for it and didn''t want the players in the team to appear in the soap opera of the transfer news.


    Abu couldn''t figure it out.


    In his opinion, in the football world, how can there be old and dead associations between clubs?


    Real Madrid Barcelona did not have the same player movement, first Enrique defected to Nou Camp, then Figo joined the Bernabeu, AC Milan and Inter Milan were a bright and upright player transaction, Millwall also dug from the deadly rival West Ham United Corner.


    What can''t be done here at Chelsea?


    Moratti saw Abu tangled in his face and sighed: "Chelsea bought it from Millwall and explained it in cold words. It was **** in Millwall''s eyes. So, you can take that player, but a few days Before, you heard that Klose was negotiating with Bayern Munich and offered 20 million pounds, but did not get any response from Millwall. Why? Because Klose is not garbage, he is a quality product. Inter Milan and AC Milan do have Trading exists, but we will never give our main players, planned players to the opponent, even if we can¡¯t keep it, we won¡¯t give it to the enemy, but if it is an unimportant little person, where does he love to go, where is his interest Will be the first. In other words, Millwall sells to your players, you can also buy it elsewhere, it may be cheaper, this money, they earned, who suffered? And, they sold to you The little man, gives you 11 such little men. What if Chelsea is rich? Is it competitive in front of Millwall? Is it a level?"


    After Morati finished speaking, he sighed again.


    Millwall is a talent pool that is eager for the entire European giants. It was difficult for such a club to survive.


    Because European giants will divide and dismember them before they rise completely!


    Like Ajax who claimed to rule the next ten years of football.


    The European giants did the same with Millwall.


    In the summer of 1998, the main force of Millwall''s half team was divided. According to the expected development, even if Millwall will not collapse, but as long as the performance is frustrated, it is basically fixed in the ranks of the first-class UEFA football team, because They will not be able to continue to own most top players for a long time! Unable to maintain a stable top lineup!


    However, Aldridge, who lost the league title in 1998, simply regained the league title in the new season after losing the main force of the half team. The UEFA Champions League, but also fell to the penalty shootout in Munich, that is the semifinals.


    That season should be the most critical season for Millwall to really take off and at the fork of fate!


    If they fail, there will be no future dynasty.


    However, they succeeded and gave players confidence, so that the outside world began to redefine them. In the next three seasons, the league and the Champions League monopolized at the same time, which made Millwall completely stabilized the position of the giants and difficult to shake.


    This is what makes Aldridge great in the eyes of UEFA football players.


    Now, world-class players will be interested in Millwall''s invitation, and Millwall can also have top players for a long time.


    In the past, it was impossible to keep people.


    Now, it is due to the elimination of internal competition in the team, or the genius of "out of season" at the same time, it is difficult to get ahead and have to leave Millwall.


    They are even more confident than ordinary giants, also because of the existence of Aldridge, because the players long for honor, know that under this young coach, the most promising to reach the height of legend!


    Like Inter Milan''s England international Lampard who just ushered in this summer, if Millwall has room for him, he will never go far to Apennine, although in a sense he also left, Millwall hopes to keep Of course, compared with being hurt after the digging of the main force, Lampard¡¯s departure will not even make Millwall frown.


    Abu was still a little unwilling, and broke the casserole and asked in the end.


    "What if I want to make a sensation? Run a transfer like Figo? Is Millwall indifferent? Are there many choices for them?"


    Moratti smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You haven''t understood Millwall''s attitude. Millwall itself despised Chelsea. They can care about you taking away some waste, just like if AC Milan took a preparation from here. The team¡¯s mediocrity, I will readily agree and humiliate them after receiving a check from AC Milan. But if AC Milan wants to compete with Real Madrid for Ronaldo, even if they bid higher than Real Madrid, I will not agree because of the ending It will be the opposite. After the moment I received the check, AC Milan will laugh at me, and all AC Milan people will use this as a victory against Inter Milan. So, no one will discuss what Real Madrid has spent for Figo Money is not worth it, only Real Madrid members laughed at Barcelona¡¯s victory, and Barcelona¡¯s humiliation and anger. You want Millwall to appear next Fego, you have to do at least two points. First, Chelsea is worth the level of Fego The stars are effective. Second, Chelsea have a special attraction than Millwall."


    Abu thoughtfully, the last two points are the key.


    To put it bluntly, Chelsea has substantial competitiveness. As for the special attraction, everyone is in London. It is too far-fetched to say what the geographical environment is. The only special place may be only money.

 Chapter 934： New season

    When Millwall returned to London from the United States, a guest came to the club.


    Moyes.


    This time, Moyes came to Millwall with cash.


    He hopes to buy Lescott and continue to rent Ribery and Rooney.


    Moyes was out of luck, just when Everton had no money. Before him, Everton was in a good financial situation. Unfortunately, he bought a few batches of good players and could only participate in the game of the relegation army. When he was the master, the finances It became tight. Last season''s excellent performance only allowed him to buy a player here.


    Although Lescott has good potential, there are already better ones in the same position.


    Aldrich intends to focus on training Tiago Silva. At the same time, Barzali and Neal have been over-stable. The original attitude towards Lescott was also to rent out, retain ownership, and wait for him to appreciate more in the future, but Taking into account Lescott¡¯s personal opinion, Aldridge still decided to sell him so that he could get together and disperse. At this time, he did not want to have trouble with the players for the future revenue of millions of pounds. After all, stay in the team. Either the contract period is consumed, or the salary is paid, which is also an expense.


    After selling Lescott¡¯s ¡ê5 million to Everton, Aldridge, who wanted to keep Ribery on the team, talked specifically with Scarface. He was limited to Everwall¡¯s main position and Millwall. Of the substitutes, Ribery chose to continue to Everton, at least Everton also had a European war, and Aldridge helped him win a new contract, the lease period, Ribery played in Everton with additional Bonus.


    Rooney did not want to stay in the team as the last striker substitute. Originally, Audridge wanted to stay with him to teach patiently for a season, because Rooney "lifted the ban" on the national team, and Audridge will recruit Rooney in the second half of the year. The team is an important piece in the European Cup next year, and it can even be called the Aldridge''s most valuable piece in the European Cup. However, Rooney went to the Aldridge''s house for three days in a row. In the end, he chose to let him return to his hometown team on loan for a season, at least, his appearances are guaranteed.


    Before Rooney left, Aldridge snarled him a lot at home, and Yiwen kept watching. After Rooney nodded away countless times, Yiwen lamented: "I feel like you are his father."


    Aldridge was stunned suddenly, sighing old-fashionedly.


    The energetic Lu Xiaofan made him very worried. Last season in Everton, there was another prostitute scandal. His freckled face has been well-known to the British. In the eyes of Aldridge, he is still a child. ¡­Like Ronaldo''s hair-studded earrings began to pretend to be cool, Rooney didn''t pursue those, just for refreshment, in different ways, they were all immature.


    Thinking about it, how can players be mature and immature in this regard?


    Villa came to London at the age of 14, Schneider came to the team at the age of 20, and Nedved at the age of 21. Nearly ten years have passed. There is no scandal, no scandal. When can Rooney turn sex?


    "Ah, hopefully, he won''t be bored."


    Aldridge can only sigh.


    He was also young, who doesn''t have a rebellious mind?


    Millwall''s training in North America this time was good. Although he lost to Inter Milan in the first game and then won Lyon in the second game, he never paid attention to the results in the friendly match. He only focused on the results.


    The direct economic benefits of the trip to North America are actually not as good as their previous gold rush to Asia, but exploring the North American market is an unwavering task. This is a long-term investment, especially unlike the Asian market. The entire Premier League is in Actively developing, for the invasion of the North American market, very few clubs are proceeding individually, Millwall has laid a good foundation before, although the benefits are not obvious, but in the future, football will become a vast market in the United States, 10 years When the Premier League flourished in the North American market, Millwall now laid the foundation that would make them five, ten, or more ahead of other teams.


    With the approaching of the new season, the recruitment of all powerful players is basically over.


    Last season''s league champion Manchester United sold Beckham, in order to fill the vacancy on the right, Ferguson first competed with Barcelona and Quaresma failed, and then took the Spanish star, 22-year-old Joaquin to Old Trafford, took over Beckham''s backward position, although Joaquin does not have a Beckham''s precision-guided B¨¦zier arc stunt, but relatively, his side breakthrough is more efficient than Beckham, plus when he was trained at Millwall The instilled consciousness has strengthened his body in Valencia over the years. His arrival has allowed Manchester United to minimize the negative effects of Beckham''s departure on the right road.


    At the same time, Ferguson''s patience with Bartz reached the limit, and finally made up his mind to remove the butterman and bought American goalkeeper Howard to replace it. The biggest changes in Manchester United''s main lineup in the new season are these two points.


    Arsenal continued to live on the day of the diet, and the prestigious five defenses of the year completely called the curtain. Except that the main campbell and Toure were already unable to fight, the professor continued to supplement the young guard, the cheap Senderos arrived, and the position of Seaman¡¯s goalkeeper With the newcomers, another good goalkeeper of this era in Germany: Lehmann. At the same time, the professor will naturally continue to choose potential stocks from his own "talent base" France. The full-back Krishna came to the arsenal and only spent Arsenal. At an area of ??250,000 pounds, there is also an important signing, which is extremely controversial, that is, Arsenal "stolen" Fabregas from Barcelona.


    The Spanish media is about to fry, and they have asked the Football Association to amend the loopholes in the regulations, so that Spanish talents are always lost abroad. There is Millwall before, and Arsenal later. Millwall''s style is much better in the past two years. Now, they will negotiate with the club in private to reach a mutually satisfactory clause, and they will pay a few million more pounds. Millwall doesn¡¯t care. He pays more attention to his reputation and image. Instead, the arrogant Arsenal has no confidence and people. Transfer fees are good for others.


    Liverpool didn''t make much repairs, and it seemed that life was getting more and more filthy.


    Chelsea is the most popular player in the transfer market.


    There is one fact that cannot be changed.


    Without money, there must be no champion!


    Countless people said at this time that "money can''t buy a champion" and did not realize what level of "money" the wealth brought by Abu was.


    In the past, not counting the situation in Spain and Italy, only in the Premier League, Leeds United, Chelsea, Newcastle United, Everton, Liverpool, when they have invested heavily, maybe two or three, three or four seasons down The total investment will be more than 100 million pounds.


    However, in the first year of Chelsea, Abu smashed the sum of others'' investment in the transfer market for several years!


    This kind of "money" is quite different from the "money" in the past.


    It''s just that many people don''t realize it.


    Chelsea bought two full-backs, Johnson and Bridge, Real Madrid bought Makelele and Gremi, Manchester United bought Belon, Palma bought Mutu, and Inter Milan bought Gram. Respo, the players in their dream lineup, although they only bought one Crespo, but they have bought a lot of the team''s dream players, which also reflects the courage from the side.


    Especially when it comes to the generosity of players, Chelsea is quietly changing the old pattern of UEFA player treatment. Just like they bought Duff, they gave the Irish winger a weekly salary of 70,000. Such a salary is in Millwall. It is close to the second grade of 80,000 weekly salary, which can only be obtained by players like Schneider, and at Manchester United, Arsenal, can get more than 70,000 weekly salary, no more than 5 people.


    Chelsea has become the leading player in the Premier League transfer market. The Premier League has a total transaction volume of less than 200 million pounds in the summer, and Chelsea has occupied half of the country. At the same time, each of their large investments has made other clubs ecstatic, making the entire market unprecedented. Active, Southampton is holding 7 million pounds, can go to find 7 players.


    When Eriksson led Chelsea to win the Premier League Asian Cup Championship in Malaysia, he returned to London and said in a shameless manner: "Chelsea has undergone earth-shaking changes with the past. We already have the strength of a world-class team and our goal. It will be all the championships, leagues, FA Cup, UEFA Champions League, but our goal now is to pass the qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League."


    Regardless of Eriksson¡¯s high-profile comments, he didn¡¯t even make it to the Champions League. He was thinking about the championship, and he didn¡¯t talk about whether he forgot that England had another cup than any other country: The League Cup, after all, is a stage for strong teams to train, and it is not much valued.


    But his remarks did not receive a positive response in front of the Premier League.


    Eriksson seemed to have issued the warfare, but no one ignored him.


    As for Fleet Street''s tour of the Premier League in the new season, especially when commenting on the summer signing work, Chelsea''s argument is the biggest. On the one hand, Chelsea''s strength has changed qualitatively. On the other hand, Chelsea''s internal hidden dangers are heavy. It is doubtful how new coaches and new players can make a team stable and full of fighting power, especially to the level that these players should be.


    Defending champion Manchester United makes people want to pick out problems and it seems old-fashioned. Ferguson has always lived like this. The problem for Manchester United is that they do not have top players in many positions, but they can perform well in Manchester United. The top players they decided to buy seem to be out of line with Manchester United, such as Belon.


    When it was Arsenal¡¯s turn and Millwall, Fleet Street¡¯s evaluation was consistent: three years later, we will talk about their signings this summer.


    The new season Premier League, the curtain opened.


    Millwall played in London''s Derby for the first time as a guest at Stamford Bridge.

 Chapter 935： Keep improving

    Manchester United defeated Arsenal in the community shield with a penalty shootout. The pace of the Premier League in the new season is getting closer.


    Millwall is ready to prepare for the battle, waiting for the opening season of the new season.


    Before that, they filmed the family photo for the new season.


    Attachment: Millwall 03-04 season first team roster


    Goalkeepers: Bute, Paljuka, Kirkland.


    Defenders: Schneider, Ramos, Ram, Neil, Southgate, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Barzali, Ashley Cole, Baines.


    Midfielders: Alonso, De Rossi, Pedretti, Nedved, Kaka, Lamore, Moutinho, Verroso.


    Forwards: Ronaldo, Robben, Larson, Henry, Villa, Ronaldinho.


    A total of 27 people.


    There are still three days left before visiting Stamford Bridge. At Leo''s training base, Millwall players are carefully trained in a relaxed atmosphere.


    De Rossi and Villa looked more powerful than last season. Aldridge squeezed their muscles and then touched their muscles, sighing rather helplessly, and then staying in the gym silently. time.


    Ronaldinho''s figure has returned to a slender state, but he can never become a "black and hard" model. The sweat he paid is quite satisfactory to the coaching staff because he has the greatest contrast in physical fitness through pre-season preparations.


    On a sunny afternoon, the newly arrived first-team Ram, Moutinho and Veroso are very unremarkable here.


    After ambitiously joining the young marshal''s door, when they came to Millwall, the scenery presented to them was untouched by the magnificent waves.


    If they change to Millwall seven or eight years ago, they will see Aldridge do everything in his own hands, worry about everything, and supervise the training of players.


    But today, Millwall is already running in a mature system. Unlike in the past, Audridge will work overtime with the coaching staff to explore the efficiency of the training content and the rationality of the training method based on the team status. Come to reflect, now, they have a mature system, experience, reasonableness of training content, scientific training intensity arrangement for players with different characteristics, effective efficiency, all sides, they are very familiar with the car, which is also Aldrich Delegate power to the coaching staff.


    He will not preside over every aspect of training, like a supervisor pacing on the sidelines, seemingly inattentive, but pointed out succinctly when he discovered details.


    This is in sharp contrast to what Ram, Moutinho and Veroso expected.


    Perhaps in their fantasy, the young coach should be passionate, even in training, he will always motivate players, whip players, and demand players to achieve perfection.


    These tasks are now done by the coaching staff, and the old players in the team have professional conscience to ensure that their exemplary role will affect young players subtly, but some young players may not feel it themselves.


    Just as when training with a group of Nedved, Nedved does not rest, and other people will not go to rest. This is not a question of daring and daring. This is being affected by the invisible.


    "Vilas, you take Philip to Rene."


    Aldridge suddenly shouted to Boas in the training ground.


    Ram stopped and looked around. He wasn¡¯t sure: Philip was calling himself.


    Sure enough, when Boas came towards him, Ram felt a little worried.


    After reporting to Millwall, he went to the United States for training together. He returned to the team for more than a week to keep up with the training pace of the first team and became familiar with it.


    But who is Rene?


    Where to take him?


    Was he transferred from the first team?


    He thought so worried in his heart that before Boaz approached, he turned to his compatriot Schneider and asked, "Bernd, where does the boss want me to go?"


    Schneider frowned, revealing an embarrassed expression.


    Seeing Schneider''s expression, the fear in Ram''s heart was even worse.


    It seems that there is something dissatisfied with the boss in training, this will be kicked out of the first team!


    Boas was suspicious, and Ram followed him by pulling his head, looking like he was going to the execution ground. Boas asked, "Are you worried?"


    Ram saw that the two had gone away and was worried. "Coach, where did I dissatisfy the boss?"


    Boas was stunned and asked: "You are not yet 20 years old, there are many places where your boss is not satisfied with you."


    "Yeah, I''m not yet 20 years old, but why didn''t give me any explanation, and excluded me from the first team?"


    Boas confused, said: "What are you talking about? I just take you to Rene Mullenstin, he is the technical director of the youth team, is in charge of the player''s technical training, no one said to let you Leave the first team."


    Ram raised his head with a dull expression, and after a moment turned his head to look at the training ground and saw that Schneider and Ronaldinho were looking towards him, and both were laughing.


    Ram understood: he was tricked.


    It really scared him.


    Then he asked about Mullensteen.


    When Boas told him that Mullenstein personally supervised the training of Ronaldinho, Villa, Henry, Larson, Nedved, Kaka, Ronaldo, Pirlo and other players, Ram finally understood come.


    This is a decision that Aldridge wants to focus on cultivating him.


    Millwall is not a first team, with nearly 200 echelons from top to bottom, Mullenstin is the supervisor, but he will not personally tune each player.


    Only a particularly talented player will make him focus on energy.


    Basically, the players who can enter the first team of Millwall are all registered in Mullenstin, but there are only a few who personally formulated the technical training program.


    For example, Moutinho is already on the schedule of Mullenstin''s work, but Veroso is handed over to his assistant.


    Ram was not due to Mullenstin''s focus because of his age.


    Because he was almost 20 years old when he came to the team. The technical characteristics and playing habits of players are difficult to improve and change after the age of 21. The "shaping" stage was completed before the age of 21. After the age of 21, I just hone what I already know, and it is more practical to cooperate with the experience of the race. It seems that I will not step on the bicycle before the age of 21. After the age of 21, let him learn, maybe 10 Nian also can''t train a player who can combine cycling skills with practicality in the game.


    Take some late-competent players as an example. Their achievements or outbreak periods are relatively late. During the outbreak, most of them are the improvement of experience or efficiency, and there will be no qualitative outbreak of skills. This is a limitation of the human body¡¯s development stage. There is no way to change.


    Bayern Munich¡¯s youth training system certainly has quality assurance, Ram has laid a good foundation, but in Aldrich¡¯s opinion, he can continue to improve and strive for excellence, allowing him to lay better technology in the next year and a half At the same time, using the game to improve his experience at the same time will help his future development.


    It was not empty talk to bring him to Millwall and let him compete for the world''s first.


    Mullenstin has not been idle all these years and works the same every season. In addition to continuously improving the Millwall youth training system for the cultivation of player skills, it has spent a lot of energy on shaping players alone.


    The earliest Nedved, Larson, and Henry who left his line of sight had nothing to focus on. They were mainly designing a special training program that would help them develop their strengths and strengthen their advantages.


    Afterwards, Pirlo and Ronaldinho were sent away. Although young players such as Ronald Robes arrived in the first team, they still have a fixed time to report to him every week and receive special technical training.


    It can even be said that Fanny began to erupt in Manchester United and climbed towards the altar of the king of the small penalty area. There is also a credit for Mullenstin, but I don¡¯t know whether Fanny still maintains fixed special training at Manchester United, but according to Ferguson¡¯s thought To dig Mullenstein, his guidance and arrangements for Fanny will certainly be valued at Manchester United and will not be discarded.


    Ram asked Boaz about a lot of things about the team on the road, these things, including some order in the locker room.


    "In Millwall, there are very few players turning their heads, probably this is related to the character of the high-ranking players in the team. Nedved, Larson, Southgate, they will not lose their temper to their teammates. However, they also express dissatisfaction, such as silence, if you are lazy in a game, or dizzy and immersed in their performance, they may not give you any good looks, and then use actual actions to tell What you are right. For some time last season, Ronaldinho will not pass Klose on the court, because Klose has not scored in two games, and he squandered some opportunities, no Teammates were angry at him, but players always had their own ways to express their dissatisfaction. After Ronaldinho continued to assist Henry to score goals, Klinsmann noticed the problem, so he called a team meeting to be considered safe. After such a small storm."


    Ram was surprised and worried.


    A good striker, it seems that it is impossible to score a field goal, two or three games, or even not scored within a month, it is normal, such as playing 40 games in a season, scoring 28 goals A striker means that he has not scored in at least 12 games. If a hat trick is performed in one game, it means that he has not scored in at least 14 games.


    But it is undeniable that such a striker is absolutely excellent, if in the top league, then it is also a top striker.


    It seems that in Millwall, if the striker does not score in two games, it will cause a big problem?


    Boas saw his expression, knew he had misunderstood, and explained with a smile: "It''s not what you think, you still don''t understand that Millwall''s team philosophy is actually not linked to data, but is related to contribution. With teamwork, in the example I said, the point is not that Klose did not score, but that he wasted a lot of opportunities. Plus, in those opportunities, he can have a better choice to serve the team, but he thinks too much The goal was scored, so he left the team, which caused dissatisfaction among his teammates. This situation also happened to C Ronaldo. Young, he is growing, this team will give him a certain space, let him learn, accumulate experience, make mistakes, is a part of growth. This philosophy also affects you, so you don¡¯t have to worry too much, only when one day You have grown up completely, and wearing a Millwall jersey means that when you absolutely have to shoulder the team, this team will have the highest demands on you and will not tolerate you leaving the team on the court."


    Ram thought deeply, and felt that he was really getting to know Millwall.

 Chapter 936： The enemy is called Millwall

    When Ram and Boas came to the youth team to find Mullenstin, they would expect that Mullenstin was seriously teaching a young player. In Ram¡¯s eyes, that player may be 13-14 years old. Right or so.


    But in fact, this young man, just turned 16 this summer.


    "Yes, today''s game is for me to specifically target opponents to restrict you. Let them tell you how realistic it is to be restricted by one foot kick! If your left foot is 100 points, then you Your right foot is 0 points today! You use your left foot to pass accurately, shoot accurately, dribble, omnipotent, but what about your right foot? Even a 30-meter pass will make mistakes, when being marked, There were 3 turnovers in the right foot stop! Lionel, God gave you an unparalleled talent, not only talent, but also a natural inertial left foot! How rare is this, can you understand? Because all the players in the world When defending opponents, 99% of their opponents are right-footed players! And the impact of your left foot will create difficulties for the opponent itself, but when the opponent knows this, and strive to limit your use With your left foot, if you can¡¯t use your right foot to disrupt your opponent¡¯s plan, your abilities will be limited a lot, a lot!"


    It was the 16-year-old Messi who was reprimanded by Mullensteen. His good friend, Aguero, played the ball absently not far away, and actually secretly listened to Mullenstin''s lesson on Messi.


    Messi''s talent and talent are not only recognized by every coach in Millwall, but even as long as he has seen the critics who played football, he will be raved.


    Because he is the omnipotent king in the competition of his peers, he is the master of the game!


    However, professional football is not a competition of the same age. On the real professional stage, you will directly encounter the old fritters with rich experience in the field.


    Mullensteen couldn¡¯t let Messi change his idiot, nor could he really let him reach the level of foot balance, but at the very least, the gap between the feet should not be too obvious, and Messi could not become a future. "One-legged monster", in that case, will really limit his strength.


    Even now in the game of football managers, there will be options for restricting the opponent''s customary feet. Is this a play? Is it nonsense? Not at all!


    With a certain level of excellent defensive players, the restrictions on the opponent will definitely involve the opponent''s idiomatic feet in the conditions, rather than standing in front of the opponent and being stupid, etc., really changing constantly, but these, It is difficult for fans to see the game.


    Taking Schneider as an example, when he defended Giggs against Manchester United, he focused on the moment when the opponent''s ball control belt had a poor rhythm. When he chose to intercept the timing, it must be based on the free time of Giggs'' left foot, or Ji Gus wants to pass him, and most of them use the left foot to control the ball to change the frequency or direction. This can be predicted, and Giggs has made several wonderful breakthroughs for him and can often see Gigg. Si used a right-footed ball to confuse Schneider. After playing a poor rhythm, he used his left foot to make a breakthrough.


    This is the importance of the smaller the gap between the two feet, the greater the threat. The idiomatic foot remains unchanged, but the other foot must be able to provide a one-to-one effect on the opponent''s defensive consciousness. This requires a certain ability.


    Messi originally had intensive training on his right foot. Like Ronaldinho Ronaldo, Ronaldo, and Henry, they all traversed this road in Millwall. Players, you can¡¯t fly with one foot. The simplest effect is that you use the right foot to stop the ball and then use the right foot to dribble the ball, and you use the left foot to stop the ball perfectly. In terms of efficiency, the latter is clearly superior, which is reflected very frequently in Ronaldinho, Henry, Larson and others, even after the stop.


    Messi has only been slacking in training in this area for the last two months. In addition, Mullenstin deliberately beat him today. Not only did he arrange for the U18 youth team¡¯s opponents, but he also specifically made the players two years older than Messi special. Limiting his left foot, Messi played a worse game.


    Messi didn''t refute anything. He knew that the coach was educating him. Moreover, he didn''t rely on his mouth to say that the game made him aware of the importance. He honestly expressed his attitude to Mullenstin and will strengthen his right foot next. Training, Mullensteen was not really angry, but the tone was more severe.


    After leaving Messi away, Messi saw Aguero frowning at him, and did not mean to gloat over, but most of them were a kind of "great tribulation".


    In fact, Aguero is more envious, because the tradition here is: the more the coach says to you, the more important the representative is to you.


    The year of coming here is not short. Some players don¡¯t get scolded by the coach. They have passed quietly for three or four years, and then they leave here when they reach a certain age. They have never come back. Even, they haven¡¯t heard anything from him since. .


    Boas and Ram waited behind. It wasn''t until Messi left that Boas brought Ram to Mullenstin and told Mullenstin where Ram was playing.


    Looking at Ram''s thin body, Mullensteen looked weird and asked Boas: "Audric is this a first-team team to create a crazy offensive team?"


    Ram didn''t understand very well, but Boas laughed and said: "There should always be more pursuits than before. Moreover, this year''s situation is not the same as the past few years."


    Mullenstin nodded after a moment of thought.


    "Indeed, I didn''t think so much last year. I just thought that I can continue to be glorious according to the old way. But I saw Daniele and Harvey''s physical fitness a lot stronger a month ago. I suddenly felt that the team''s midfielder was better than in the past. Stronger, it can indeed weaken some of the muscles of side defense."


    Boaz laughed: "It is true. On the point of adaptability, Aldridge is always eye-opening. Maybe two years later, it may allow you to train several guards who can play the organization."


    Mullensteen smiled dumbly and shook his head: "I''m only responsible for developing the player''s technical ability. Organizational ability is more important here, and here, I can''t cultivate it. Only Aldridge or your first team coach can train."


    He pointed to his temple, and the meaning was obvious: mind.


    Boas left, and Ram was first taken to the youth team''s office building by Mullenstin. In his office, Mullenstin took out a video tape and showed it to Ram.


    Ram saw that there were some players'' performance highlights on the field.


    To his surprise, in these extraordinary highlights, almost all players are wingers!


    Mullenstin explained to him: "I thought you were a striker introduced by the team, but Vilas said you are a full-back, I realized what kind of role Aldridge hopes you will play in the future. Let''s put it this way, a full-back cannot rely on pure defensive ability to become a world-class full-back. To become a top player in the world, a full-back must have a top-level winger of at least 70% of the ability. If you add the full-back, it is more than a full-back. Concealed, there is a sprint space in the position, then in the actual game, the role played is equivalent to or even exceeds the winger. Therefore, in your technical training, at least this part of the attack, you should use the winger as a template, and not a traditional winger , Because in Millwall, there is no traditional winger. The cultivation of consciousness is the work of the first team. I am only responsible for your technical ability training. Let me show you these videos first, so that you have a bottom in your heart and know yourself In what direction are you working, the specific training content will be tailored according to your characteristics, and you should not be under pressure, feel like you will learn a lot of tricks, no, practical first, maybe a year and a half later, You don¡¯t think you¡¯ve learned anything.¡±


    Lam seemed to understand, the first half understood, but the second half didn''t quite understand: What wouldn''t you think you learned something?


    After he began to understand the characteristics of Mullenstin and guide the study, he realized the meaning of this sentence.


    Because Millwall never teaches players to be fancy.


    The success of the passing is not one-to-one in most cases, but space and continuity. Choosing a good passing line will play a role in the explosive force of the precise timing. You can pass one person at a time, and you can break through the whole article at once. The defensive line, and the wrong route choice, situation judgment, and inappropriate release time of the explosive force may make you pass a person, but fall into the trapped circle, and let the ball under your feet enter a dead end, causing the team¡¯s An attack was terminated by the opponent.


    As for teaching, it is to strengthen basic skills, or to focus on practicality.


    The simpler things are the foundation of everything. This is the foundation of Millwall¡¯s team philosophy, just like they never design complicated tactical routines, only set up a clear system, and then rely on players and execution. In this process, it may be subconsciously creating a beautiful landscape that others cannot reach.


    When receiving special training, Ram unknowingly absorbed the essence of Millwall''s philosophy. From personal abilities to football thinking, things are quietly changing.


    ...


    Before going to Chelsea, Aldridge attended a pre-match press conference for the new season Premier League opener.


    Relative to Chelsea''s limelight since July 1, Millwall seems a bit dim, but when it comes to the competitive theme, Millwall still returns to the protagonist''s position, Fleet Street does not want to admit it, but is also in action Silently told the world: compared to Chelsea''s swagger, Millwall is the most concerned football king in the entire European football.


    "Sir Ferguson claimed that Manchester United''s biggest enemy defending this season is Millwall."


    "Chelsea sees Millwall as a competitor."


    "Arsenal believe that Manchester United can not defend their success, they and Millwall are champion competitors."


    "AC Milan won the Champions League last season, ending the Premier League''s five-year rule of the Champions League. AC Milan coach Ancelotti believes that the biggest opponent of the Champions League in the new season is Millwall."


    When Aldridge appeared on the stage of the press hall, the reporters in the audience questioned.


    No way, Aldridge is a **** big player.


    When I came, I threw a sentence: you ask first, then I answer all at once, saving time.


    Fleet Street is crying without tears.


    At the end of last season, it was unpleasant with Aldridge.


    So everyone scrambled to throw questions and waited for the young master''s answer.


    Aldridge''s expression was not upset. When the scene was quiet, he took a sip of mineral water on the table and said lightly: "Millwall will not always be strong, will not always be the Premier League champion, the European Champions Cup champion. The first competitor. However, that day has not yet arrived at least. Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, AC Milan, how they think of Millwall, I don¡¯t care. Millwall has only one enemy in the new season, the name of the enemy Called Millwall."


    After all, the young commander stood up and left.


    All reporters on Fleet Street looked at each other with a wry smile.


    Okay, the handsome young remarks have reappeared.


    The manager of Millwall said that Millwall had only one enemy named Millwall.


    This is ignoring everyone!

 Chapter 937： Goal domination

    Chelsea''s "arms race" reached a level that scared many people.


    Manchester United declared a new season with a strong posture of defending champions.


    When people talked about the changes in the Premier League team in the new season, Millwall, who had nothing on the domestic front last season, throws "there is only one Millwall" in Aldridge, which can also be interpreted as "full In Europe, Millwall is regarded as an enemy, and they are no exception." Millwall¡¯s detached position is still unshakable. It is not that Chelsea bought who can change this situation. It is not that Manchester United won the Premier League last season. Can be changed.


    The outside world does not seem to think that Aldridge is arrogant and arrogant. Millwall, who has a half-team of world-class players, is still the number one public enemy in Europe. It is the first favorite of all championships, but he can only compete with it. Perhaps only AC Milan, because AC Milan also has half-team world-class players, plus they won the European Championship last season, in addition, Real Madrid also looks very competitive, the Galaxy Battleship is famous all over the world.


    There was a light rain at noon on the opening day of the Premier League in the new season. When the bus went to West London, the light rain was still washing the window of the bus. The Millwall players were very calm in the bus.


    The new players may not understand. Millwall prepared for the summer and officially started the new season. Mo said that there was no iconic declaration to the outside world. The coaches seemed to have forgotten that there is something called "champion" in football.


    "Our goal is the champion"


    At the very least, should I call this slogan?


    However, Millwall did not, the interior was calm and strange, even the players seemed to forget.


    They won''t hang the championship on their mouths, is it enough?


    Still, they have reborn, the champion gene is in their bodies, and there is a kind of temperament in the blood.


    Aldridge sits in the front row, which is his fixed position, and the seat next to him is now reserved for Stella Maggioni, Jenson has his own position, or it is displayed in the team Special position.


    It sounds exaggerated, it seems that children are grabbing seats, but in fact, in the club, this "order" is everywhere, from the jersey number, to the fixed seat on the plane, even the club parking space...


    Aldridge looked back at the street scene outside the window, thinking about his thoughts.


    The transformation of the third-generation mad lion is his most important job this season. Without one or several games as indicators, it will be a long-term job. It is necessary to lay a solid foundation so that the third-generation mad lion will not only return to Europe. At the top, it is even more brilliant than the second-generation mad lion!


    Of course, there are.


    King of Europe? The new dynasty?


    More precisely, he wants to make Millwall the king of the Champions League!


    The first generation of crazy lions, the second generation of crazy lions, won a total of four Champions League championships.


    Now they are tied with Bayern Munich, Liverpool and Ajax for the third place in the Champions League.


    In front of them, there are only two clubs.


    Real Madrid and AC Milan, 6 times each.


    With three more Champions Leagues, you can become the king of the Champions League!


    Exclusively enjoy the status of king above the peak!


    As for the domestic throne of the English Premier League 18 times.


    To be honest, Aldridge really feels unrealistic. He may not last that long, because this time, he set himself a retirement age of 40 in his heart.


    Millwall has won five Premier League titles, and another 14, at least 14 years, and he is 27 years old this year.


    However, he believes that as long as he really brings Millwall to an approximately "immortal" height before retirement, it is only a matter of time before the Liverpool record is overturned.


    The plan for such a large cycle cannot be realized overnight. Fortunately, Aldridge is no longer a fledgling kid. He is very patient. Especially when he returned to Millwall to coach, he changed a state and made He can find a balance between his career and his family. He works during working hours and leaves all his work behind when he leaves the club. There are many helpers to help him out.


    And the king of the Champions League is still what Burt and Earle demanded of his father in the dispute.


    Burt did not like to learn, and Earl knew better than Burt. When Burt said Millwall was the greatest team in the Champions League, Earl gave his brother a lesson, telling him that in the past, he had a ball The team won the Champions League six times before 36 years, telling him that AC Milan has already won five Champions League trophy even if they did not win the Champions League last season.


    Therefore, in order to maintain the correctness of his statement, Burt asked Aldridge to lead Millwall to win the 7 Champions League and surpass all teams!


    Thinking of this, Aldridge smiled upturned.


    "what are you laughing at?"


    Stramaggioni saw Aldridge''s mouth curling and asked curiously, he was actually a little nervous because he was going to be in the London Derby for the first time, facing the majestic roubles Chelsea!


    Aldrich casually said: "I''m thinking about the upcoming seminar in Zurich, Switzerland."


    "FIFA? Does that have anything to do with us?"


    Stramagioni was even more curious.


    Aldrich turned his head and looked at this young Italian guy of his own age, and immediately digressed, saying, "I am not very satisfied with your work in the new season. Although you put Chelsea players on different teams last season The performance, player position, characteristics, and coaching style of new coach Eriksson were also analyzed, but it is still blank when predicting this game. Also, for Millwall¡¯s assessment this season, you It¡¯s too one-sided. Last season¡¯s five-game winning streak in the league was not representative. I¡¯m not boasting, but my return has stimulated the team¡¯s cohesiveness and combat effectiveness. At the end of the season, 5 opponents, 3 There is no desire for success in the relegation of the teams. The two teams aiming at the Champions League can¡¯t only have a draw. This is a variable. It is the factor that Millwall won 5 consecutive victories. Team, will the situation be the same? Inside Millwall, do you think it will be the same?"


    Stella Maconi suddenly appeared pensive, although Aldridge''s tone was similar to accountability, but he was able to understand that this was a kind of point for Stella Maggioni to learn from.


    The second half was a awakening dream. Stella Maggioni had an overestimation of Millwall¡¯s status and combat effectiveness in the new season, which stemmed from the 5 consecutive victories in the final stage of last season. , And can not be used as a standard, because at that time, for a team that has no desire and no relegation to succeed, there is no loss of face to Millwall. What is the difference between 1 point and 0 points? Resistance will not be tenacious, but in the new season, before the end, the same team, facing Millwall, 1 point and 0 points, the meaning is different, especially the impact on morale.


    "But the Chelsea game, the warm-up match is not representative, they did not show all their strength, the rotation is relatively large, Eriksson is examining the players, I really can not make a reasonable assessment and prediction."


    Stramagioni said cautiously.


    Anyone who can predict this kind of thing can do the job, but when the team is preparing for the battle, the prediction must be absolutely cautious.


    Aldrich raised his hand into a fist and slowly raised in front of him, said softly: "Abu spent more than 100 million pounds to recruit, what does Chelsea want? Championship? Only the team that spent the money is eligible to win the championship? Bolton doesn¡¯t want it? Southampton doesn¡¯t want it? And what is the champion? The award ceremony less than an hour? The trophy that I hold in my hands for a few days? Haha, you never thought about it. If you are Abu, what do you want? What do you want?"


    Stramagioni thought thoughtfully: "Beautiful football?"


    Aldrich turned his head to look at him and asked: "Eriksson made his first show at Stamford Bridge and the boss watched from the stands. You think that Eriksson¡¯s achievements and style when he was in Lazio will be taken at home. What kind of gesture?"


    Stramaggioni understood a bit, but said bitterly: "It is possible to predict in this way, but I think this job should still be cautious."


    Aldrich shook his head and said: "Football is crazy, not scientific. If you don''t have a crazy consciousness, then you can''t get out of the framework of the Italian academic head."


    ...


    Stamford Bridge is full of seats, and Chelsea''s first show comes in the Abu era.


    Chelsea fans were like serfs turning over to sing, not only singing the team became great, praising Abu''s pride, but also satirizing the dead enemy Millwall, and many fans slogans in the stands.


    "Millwall star, want to come to Chelsea to play? Give you double salary!"


    This is the sequelae of Bates''s remarks at the airport. After the speculation on Fleet Street, it became the slogan of Chelsea fans to welcome Millwall.


    Millwall fans have been extremely sneering at Chelsea fans in recent years and are quite disdainful.


    But now the situation is different.


    Chelsea fans themselves are richer than Millwall fans, and now the club also looks richer than Millwall clubs.


    It''s like having Chelsea fans shouting: We are **** rich!


    Thousands of dollars have been thrown into the transfer market and hundreds of millions of pounds have been smashed, which may be higher than Millwall''s total investment in the transfer market in the past decade!


    Millwall fans seemed to mock and sourly slogan that bad street: money can''t buy a champion!


    Abu, the host, appeared in the stands and was cheered by the fans. He looked down on everything in the stadium and was quite complacent.


    When Aldridge walked into Stamford Bridge stadium, he was greeted with a more harsh boos than before.


    He clearly can feel the confidence and confidence of Chelsea fans swelled with the day!


    Eriksson had played against Aldridge. In the Champions League, Aldridge led a mad lion to abuse Lazio. That is also a thing of the past.


    Now meeting again, Eriksson took the initiative to shake hands with him. After Audridge shook his elbow, he turned and walked away. Eriksson''s open mouth closed again.


    Something is not in his heart.


    It seems that in the eyes of the young master, he is a passer-by, and a polite handshake is the intersection.


    He clearly did not pay any attention to him.


    Fortunately, at the pre-match press conference, Eriksson also complimented Aldridge, and "pretended to be a grandson" that Millwall was very strong, and Chelsea was still running in.


    Aldrich does not care whether the other party is acting as a grandson or a true grandson. He is in his position. With the Chelsea coach, he can only have courtesy in the eyes of the public, not "friendship."


    Although he will be more enthusiastic, no fans will accuse him, but in the end, fans will feel awkward and uncomfortable.


    This is a confrontation between positions and is difficult to change.


    Walking to the visiting coach''s seat, Aldridge raised his chin with his arms around his chest, his eyes became fierce.


    In the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, the mad lion will dominate the world!

 Chapter 938： New order?

    Chelsea has received all the unprecedented attention. The outside world is watching this team coldly. If they succeed, they will rush and even wash their faith and join the Blues camp. Many people will be there. If they fail, ruthless taunts and downfalls will happen. In a row.


    The reality before Chelsea generals is also simple: proof.


    Prove that you are not seeking money.


    Prove that you are worth the high transfer value.


    Prove to the boss that I can get more compensation in the next contract!


    More importantly, prove to the world: we will succeed!


    Millwall and Chelsea both entered the show. At this time, the sky began to rain again, which was smaller than two hours ago. TV viewers watching the live broadcast will not even notice that it is raining.


    The players on both sides were so arrogant that a battle was about to happen.


    "In the first round of the 2003-2004 English Premier League, the London Derby staged with passion, and Premier League upstart Chelsea sat at Stamford Bridge against Premier League giant Millwall. Interestingly, in the new season Premier League odds, Millwall still tops the list! Chelsea, who recruited heavily this season, is only ranked fourth, the same as their final league ranking last season."


    "These are not enough as a reference factor. It is important to know that Millwall also won the championship last year. No matter whether it is the Premier League or the Champions League, they have not won the championship. Martin, who do you think has a better chance of winning this game?"


    "There is no doubt that Millwall, although they are guests, but at Stamford Bridge these years, Millwall has never had a defeat. Chelsea seem to be very strong this season, but, I think they have a lot of internal problems. , New coaches, new players, locker rooms will have strong cohesion? Yes, cohesion, I must focus on this point, cohesion of a team is very important, and cohesion, often need a fulcrum, such as national Cohesion, the cohesion of the country, and the cohesion of a team, may not be a club, this is more deeply reflected in Millwall, because their players are not mainly local players in England, their fulcrum of cohesion, It is their coach, Sir Aldridge Hall, that makes the entire team centripetal, and for this reason, the same team, led by Klinsmann and led by Sir Hall, has a clear gap."


    "Shouldn''t there be a gap? The coaching level of the two has long been determined by the outside world."


    "There must be a gap, but the gap is too big. As Jennings analyzed the teams of the Premier League at the end of the season, he thought that Millwall¡¯s failure last season was a problem with the team¡¯s cohesion, and it was never the media. Tactical problems. After Sir Hall returned, Millwall played 8 games, 7 wins and 1 loss, almost staged a big reversal, which was simply unimaginable when Klinsmann was out of class. So I think Milwaukee in the new season It is only one step away from the peak of the past, but this step is very crucial. Going up, Millwall will create a new dynasty. After all, there are so many young talents in their team, but if they don¡¯t go up, hehehe, Sir Hall is also dangerous, because the team¡¯s cohesion will decline, the times are different, and I want Millwall to appear again. The next Nedved that never asks for a salary increase club to sign a contract extension. Gate, Larson, Schneider and others are too difficult. In that case, Millwall will truly fall from the fantasy level to the world."


    "What you said is a little far away. Maybe after a season or two, we can confirm your prediction today. Now let''s take a look at the starting list of both sides. Ha ha, Chelsea also played 433 today.


    Goalkeeper: Kudicini.


    Defenders: Johnson, Terry, Deseli, Bridge.


    Midfielders: Gremi, Makelele, Belon.


    Forwards: Good Johnson, Crespo, Duff.


    Millwall is unsurprising here, continuing their 433 system that has been so popular in UEFA in the past few seasons.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Nesta, Southgate, Ashley Cole.


    Midfielders: De Rossi, Alonso, Nedved.


    Forwards: Larson, Henry, Ronaldinho.


    Can Chelsea, infused with powerful energy, overthrow Millwall at Stamford Bridge to crush their dominance for nearly a decade? let us wait and see! "


    433 is the most successful technical and tactical formation in UEFA in recent years.


    There was Ajax in the front, followed by the Millwall dynasty.


    When people talk about overlord Millwall, the 433 offensive football is talked about.


    So, in many cases, it was again advertised, 433 represents offensive football, beautiful football.


    This is definitely inappropriate, but in most mainstream concepts, the use of 442 is the mean, the pursuit of balance, 433 is the aggressive offensive, if it is 451, it seems a bit conservative.


    It¡¯s pointless not to discuss this for the sake of being wrong. The formation is dead after all, a bunch of boring numbers.


    Eriksson itself is not a particularly conservative or inflexible coach. Just like when he was in Lazio, he once told reporters that playing 4 guards and 3 guards will change according to the opponent. His originality in Serie A is also original. Since Lazio in the era of the rise of Serie A, the fans have been conquered with an offensive frenzy.


    The first game of the new season is to be a guest. At the beginning of the game, Millwall first focused on stability, not anxious to speed up the game, and responded to the game according to the model they are familiar with.


    They have been feared by their opponents for the past few years, so they have active control over the overall rhythm.


    This is what Aldridge emphasized before the game. He is not in a hurry to show off on the road, but to observe Chelsea''s status.


    However, something unexpected happened to Aldrich.


    He ignored a reality.


    For him, Chelsea bought Crespo, Belon, Duff, Makelele and so on. It¡¯s not a big deal. In this starting lineup, Aldridge can really be seen. Yes, nothing more than Crespo, Makelele, Terry, the only three!


    In other words, Millwall has the capital to despise Chelsea!


    Hard power is stronger than you!


    But Aldridge''s attitude does not affect Chelsea.


    In the view of Chelsea''s team players: I am worse than Millwall''s players? What''s the difference?


    Before Abu did not come, they would not have this kind of self-confidence, because their team strength is indeed not comparable to Millwall, the gap is very, very obvious.


    But now, they look at each other''s teammates, each of which has great strength.


    Why should you fear Millwall?


    And at Stamford Bridge!


    As a result, Chelsea did not defensively and carefully after the opening, as did not even give Millwall the opportunity to control the overall rhythm.


    Just 1 minute into the opening, Millwall fell in the midfield, Alonso''s technical ability has already been certain, but still looks immature in experience.


    Otherwise, he would not make two consecutive back-and-forth passes with Nedved, and the first pass, Nedved immediately passed the ball back to Alonso because Makklele was watching behind him.


    Chelsea''s trident rushed into the frontcourt. The big contract given by the boss is today''s first show. Naturally, he has to work hard.


    Alonso was suddenly panicked when he was caught between Crespo and Belon. Perhaps this is different from the team''s expected scene. They should have firmly held the ball, but the distance between the teammates is not far away. It¡¯s not too close, but suddenly, he couldn¡¯t find a suitable pass point, and he didn¡¯t dare to stick too much. He had to say that Crespo and Belon, their reputation has a certain influence on the court. Alonso then passed the ball back to the direction of Nedved. Nedved did not receive the ball. Makelele stepped forward and intercepted the ball accurately.


    Immediately afterwards, Makelele took the ball forward. After two steps, seeing that Nedved would catch up with him, Makelele distributed the ball to Veron.


    Alonso¡¯s inexperienced shortcomings were exposed again. The ball was lost and he rushed to grab it. He wanted to get the ball back the first time and opened the distance with De Rossi to give Belon space to take the ball.


    Belon got the ball, turned around and made a direct pass. Duff, who was cut from the side, took a long shot from the front of the penalty area!


    Bout staged a wonderful save and blocked the ball to the other side of the penalty area. Ashley Cole ran to the landing to make a clearance, but someone was better than him. Good Johnson was facing the corner of the small penalty line. After the ball bounced, the ball rebounded, and the ball flew into the goal!


    "Wow, wow! Chelsea grabbed the lead at home! A fantastic start! A goal was scored in the second minute, Duff''s long-range shot was saved, and Icelander Goodjohnson made a good shot! Millwall just started Just behind! Could Chelsea step on Millwall''s body and really declare war on Europe from the start of this game?"


    Stamford Bridge was boiling. Eriksson and all the people, coaches or players on the Chelsea bench all stood up and applauded. The stand boss Abu stood up and laughed and applauded for the goal.


    On the sidelines, Aldridge growled at a player on the court.


    "Harvey, raise my head! Calm down! Get back into the game!"


    He did not express his anger at the team, some just reminded Alonso of the warning.


    Because he saw Alonso bowed his head when the team conceded the ball and was very lost.


    If he is not awakened in the first time, then, in this game, Alonso will be immersed in the shadow of his mistakes and cannot extricate himself.


    Aldridge''s roar was caught by the live camera.


    English football is watching this game today, Fleet Street is the most exciting.


    Sure, there is a party where they can fall into the rock.


    Or, it was Chelsea who lost.


    Or, it was Millwall who could not win the game.


    So what''s the result of the game, Fleet Street doesn''t matter, their headlines are prepared early, it''s just who they step on!


    When Alonso heard Aldridge''s roar, he instantly raised his head, his expressionless, negative emotions swept away. Most of his teammates looked at him lightly, and would not pamper him like he did to a baby.


    Because, Harvey Alonso, you are not young, you are the main force of Millwall, you have a heavy burden that you must shoulder!


    To make a mistake is to make a mistake. No one will defend you and comfort you to cheer you up. You must overcome all difficulties with your own will!


    Atonement, learn lessons and stop making mistakes!


    Players who make mistakes in a row, and players who repeatedly lose their team''s interests, are unlikely to gain a foothold in a giant like Millwall!


    Harvey Alonso, who will be 22 years old in 3 months, is definitely more capable and mature than Pirlo, who just played the main force in Millwall!


    But his difficulties are much higher than Pirlo.


    Since Pirlo has shined in the organization position after the delay, limiting the role of Millwall has also become one of the main tasks of the opponent''s targeted deployment.


    It is conceivable that Pirlo was novel at that time. People would wonder what the guy who is far away from the front waist area is doing?


    When the outside world figured it out, Pirlo was already in this position, and the court walked to the altar of the previous generation of masters.


    And Alonso, the pressure he encountered was much stronger than Pirlo.


    This is his difficulty, and why Pirlo can be the main force before he is 18 years old, and he can only be righted by Aldrich when he is 21 years old.


    Difficulties are like this, there is no place for you to cry, you do not overcome difficulties, and no one will sympathize with you when you cry.


    At Stamford Bridge, the first game of the new season, Millwall was scored by the opponent in the first 2 minutes of the game. Many people have already begun to expect: This may be the prologue of the new order of European football. Will Chelsea be a vanguard of subversion of the old order? Just like Millwall in the summer of 1997.

 Chapter 939： Sidewalk storm

    Aldrich didn''t know that Chelsea''s posture after the opening of Chelsea was intentionally done by Eriksson, but it was only caused by the mental stimulation of Chelsea''s new season and new weather.


    The ruling team will also be caught by surprise, and often want to break the oppression of the strong team, is to come up with some unexpected tricks, in the past Aldridge led the team to play the strong team, this is the way, in turn, Now they insist more on themselves and will be hit by their opponents unexpectedly, but this does not mean that this will narrow the gap in hard power.


    Now he can''t control that much, even though there used to be wait-and-see times when the situation was uncertain, but Aldridge has never been silent when the score is behind.


    Light rain fell silently, Eriksson sat on the coach''s bench, and Audridge was raining.


    The singing of Stamford Bridge was loud, the atmosphere of this stadium was unprecedentedly hot, and Aldrich and Eriksson were in a situation at the moment as if they were comfortably one by one and were affected by cold rain.


    When the game restarted, the live footage caught Aldridge''s head inadvertently with a grin, which made him feel confused.


    The score is behind, you laugh!


    Behind him, Chelsea fans mocked him with singing, while also countering the sour slogan of Millwall fans: money can''t buy a champion!


    Can''t you buy it?


    Today, as long as the mad lion is cleaned up, will the championship really be far behind?


    Aldridge''s grinning is just a personal preference.


    He didn''t like to stretch his face in adversity as if he had just attended his father''s funeral.


    Too big to say that this is also the temperament that Milwall should have now. It can be defeated, but it can never be defeated!


    Moreover, Chelsea are just leading the score, and Millwall is not a team that will never lose the ball. It is too early to be defeated.


    Aldridge made a gesture, and Millwall''s offense began to surge!


    In the 4th minute, Ashley Cole stepped forward, Ronaldinho brought the ball inside to meet Gremi before passing the anti-cut route, Ashley Cole crossed the bottom on the same side, the ball went straight to the goal point In the direction, Kudicini made great achievements. He hit the ball with one hand. If he didn''t touch it, Larson who was outspoken would be fatal!


    The ball that was hit fell behind Larson, making Eriksson''s dignified look come into view.


    Schneider actually got the ball outside the penalty area and took a long shot after stopping the ball!


    Fortunately, the ball shot.


    However, there was a huge question in Eriksson''s mind: Ashley Cole made a cross from the bottom left, but Schneider appeared at the same time outside the penalty area on the right side, Millwall on both sides The defenders are over half! Are you fighting?


    It¡¯s not that Eriksson despised himself, he also played against Aldridge, and he had prepared carefully for this game, but he didn¡¯t think that the game had only been played for 5 minutes.


    In the 7th minute, Millwall attacked in the middle, Nedvide crossed the right in the frontcourt, Schneider made a diagonal shot in the front of the penalty area, Larson deliberately leaked the ball in the rib of the penalty area and shook Deseli, Terry failed to keep up with Henry in the middle. Henry shot directly without stopping the ball. With a bang, the ball hit the post and popped up!


    The ball that flew out was obtained by Gremmi. He passed the ball forward to find Belon, but Alonso stepped forward to break the ball. At this time, Alonso showed a cold and murderous expression without expression. The ball boldly jammed the wing.


    Ronaldinho had long eyes behind his head and directly touched the ball with his heel. He actually passed the ball to Ashley Cole who came up from behind, which made the scene scream.


    Ashley Cole directly forwarded the pass. Johnson didn''t expect Ronaldinho to be so magical. He originally tried to grab the ball. Ronaldinho rushed forward after the pass. Ashley Cole''s over-heading made Ronaldinho in The wing counter-offside succeeded, stopping the ball in front of the bottom line, and then when Johnson came back to intercept, Ronaldinho reversed Johnson once more!


    Immediately after Ronaldinho took the ball and walked inwards, Chelsea doubled back to the penalty area. Ronaldinho suddenly cut the bottom line and rushed through between Terry and Johnson. It also made Makelele and Gremi fill the middle. Punched empty.


    However, Ronaldinho''s shooting angle is too small, he is not reluctant, staged a cross foot cross, right foot around the left foot to pass the ball!


    Appreciation is wonderful.


    And the practicality is amazing!


    If he uses his left foot, everyone knows that he is going to cross or shoot, but he uses his right foot. Suddenly, Chelsea will be struck by lightning and marvel at the same time, the reaction time is not much, maybe it is only 0.01 seconds, But in football games, such time is fatal.


    The ball flew over the small penalty area, Kudicini did not attack for the first time, and missed the best time.


    Larson ran past, he wanted to grab the back as before, but Ronaldinho''s pass was slower. When he ran into place, the ball fell faintly above his head, which made him completely The ball may be pushed towards the goal, so at the later point, Larson jumped, his head shrank and stretched forward, the ball hit the back of his head and bounced back, the amplitude was not obvious, it was more like a backward stop.


    Behind him, a Millwall player followed him, volleyed a heavy artillery volley in a seemingly chaotic environment among the crowd, and drove the ball into Chelsea''s goal. Kudicini did not respond!


    "In the 8th minute, Millwall equalized the score! It was a perfect goal! It was a wonderful goal! No, no, it was this scoring process, too imaginative! Kick from the heel of Ronaldinho The ball was given to Ashley Cole, and then he turned back on the left to pass Johnson, and then undercut suddenly turned to the bottom, his right foot went around the back of the left foot, and a sudden pass was made. After the header, Schneider volleyed the ball in the penalty area. This goal made all the impossible possible! The magical Ronaldinho, the magical Larson, and the magical Schneider He, a right-back, how could he shoot in the penalty area? Because they are the magical Millwall!"


    Schneider''s goal reduced the noise of Stamford Bridge by a lot of decibels, and the fans of the Lions cheered happily for the team, and Ronaldinho''s fans waved Ronaldinho''s jersey to express their admiration.


    Even Chelsea boss Abu in the stands couldn''t help but shook his head and applauded.


    Shaking his head because his team lost the ball, applauding for this wonderful goal.


    Isn¡¯t what he wants such a wonderful and passionate football?


    Unfortunately, money is just money, Ronaldinho, there is only one in the world.


    Whether money can buy a champion, he doesn''t know.


    At least at this stage, it is a reality not to buy the unique Ronaldinho.


    Eriksson stood up, his brow furrowed, and within 5-6 minutes of Chelsea''s goal, Chelsea had not played an effective offensive, which resulted from Belon being restricted.


    Belon''s performance at Manchester United can be called unsatisfactory. There must be a great distance from the disaster. There are more than 80 games recorded. There have been more than a dozen goals. On the whole, it can only be said that the value has not been played.


    But one thing is for sure. When Belon played for Manchester United, he played against Millwall or most of the top teams. His overall performance was bad. Eriksson thought that his relationship with Belon¡¯s past mentorship can make them in Stamford Bridge once again joined hands to create brilliance, but today, it is not ideal.


    Millwall has changed!


    This change may not be visible to many viewers.


    I think Millwall played the offensive football and scored goals as before.


    But in the eyes of Eriksson coaches, he can see the key points in just a few minutes.


    Millwall further strengthened the midfield defense!


    From weakening Nedved''s offensive investment!


    As a midfielder, Nedved looks more cautious today and does not rush into the penalty zone to become a forward. Instead, when compressing the midfield defense space, Nedved plays a key role and bears well. The task of overcoordination of the offensive team''s offense.


    Another convenient place for change is the sidewalk!


    The offensive aggression of bilateral guards has almost reached the highest value!


    Ashley Cole and Schneider, assists are not new.


    In the formation of the vast majority of the rich team, there is no complete 4 guards, in general it is actually 3 guards.


    Two central defenders. When attacking, two full-backs, one attack and one defender, take turns.


    Conservative, it will be three and a half.


    More radical, it will be two and a half.


    However, there are still some of the craziest teams with only 2 defenders.


    In modern football, who has insisted on the formation of 2 defenders?


    royal house Madrid!


    And not too long ago, in the season when Heinks coached Real Madrid and met with Millwall at the top of Europe, Real Madrid was almost in the offense, retaining only two defenders.


    Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position.


    Aldrich''s return to coaching is certainly not a bit of a gamble. If he does not have a higher pursuit, he feels that his "two into the palace" will end in failure.


    Starting today, starting this season, Aldridge''s third-generation mad lion, in his ideal goal, will set off a modern football winger frenzy! And will work hard to interpret the side stream to the extreme!


    That¡¯s right, Nedved weakened the offensive investment. It also comes from the fact that all opponents know what Nedved can do and understand his threats. The role of the front waist, which can be transformed from the shadow forward, is the focus of the opponent. Marked characters.


    Hidden points of attack have always been an important foothold for tactics to evolve forward anyway and advance the revolution.


    Too young to say that Aldridge wants to merge the rising modern winger and the defender''s line-side player to "change the frontier"!


    In an ideal offensive state, Millwall will have at least 4-5 forwards!


    There is no doubt that the Trident, with 1 or 2 forwards, will be the traditional full-back!


    Are you crazy?


    Football is crazy, not crazy, how to understand the charm of football?


    Undoubtedly, the full-back has turned into a forward, which is an unexpected impact from his opponent.


    But how to balance offense and defense?


    How to make the team as a whole not lose its balance?


    According to Millwall''s situation, there are three factors. First, the world-class defender, Southgate, if his status does not decline, his partner Nesta can give Aldridge crazy belief. Second, the defensive ability of the double backs, De Rossi and Alonso''s potential value, so that they grow up, on the defensive side, it also definitely makes them beyond the combination of Gattuso and Pirlo. Thirdly, Nedved, the immortal perpetual motion machine, his physical fitness and range of activities, as well as his own defensive ability, are the key balance points of this technical and tactical system.


    When the team needs to defend, even if it is counterattacked, Millwall can also set up a defensive system that does not have absolute flaws. Five players, plus the first time when the half-time defense is over, the defense position will be in the middle. The full-back on the field, at least, is five and a half defensive players, which is balance.


    Aldridge also has self-knowledge, he can not pursue the highest level of football tactics.


    What is the highest state? The all-round attack and defensiveness that old people often talk about is.


    Specifically?


    Michels, the father of full attack and defense, can tell the world with a dialogue with reporters.


    Michels: In my tactics, only one fixed position is the goalkeeper! Others, they don¡¯t need a very clear division of labor. There are 10 guards, 10 midfielders, and 10 strikers. We are a total of 31 people. You said that 31 people will win against 11 people?


    Reporter: Your full-attack and full-defense tactics can be loaded into the history of football!


    Michels: What did you say? What is full attack and full defense?


    Reporter: That is your tactics!


    Michels: Oh, but I don¡¯t understand the one you said. I only know that when the football is attacking, all must go up and the defense must all come back. This is attitude and discipline!


    In this idealized state, Aldridge can¡¯t pursue it, so that a player can achieve all-round proficiency in martial arts, and also have a world-class tactical awareness. This is the best you think from ancient times to today. Good players can''t do it together.


    Because Maradona has no top guards to intercept, because Baresi has no top striker shooting...


    However, Aldrich aims for perfection and reaches the local limit as much as possible according to the actual situation!

 Chapter 940： came back

    Regardless of whether Chelsea fans admit it, Millwall''s temperament and posture on the court are more atmospheric and majestic!


    Although Millwall is not perfect now, there will not be a truly flawless team.


    The only difference is that the potential of Millwall''s players has not yet reached the limit. When they really reach their peak, they can achieve the "perfection" they can achieve.


    Chelsea with a fantastic start, the trident in the frontcourt, especially the wing players did not realize the global changes on the field, they still actively do the forced **** work in the frontcourt, but when Millwall''s attack hit their backcourt At that time, their defensive awareness dropped.


    This directly caused Millwall to blast their side defenses completely, and only then had an equalizing goal.


    The score was equalized, Chelsea''s side defense started to strengthen, and Eriksson wouldn''t sit still since he saw the problem.


    At the same time let the team strengthen the long pass in the counterattack, especially the long pass to the side.


    After all, Millwall''s bilateral defenders are extremely aggressive, and the space behind them can definitely be used!


    And in this aspect, Aldridge certainly foresees that when deducing tactical effectiveness, is such a defensive loophole not obvious?


    Therefore, instilling the defensive philosophy of the midfielder and defender is the key.


    Long pass is definitely not as successful as short pass.


    The technical ability of the long-distance initiator needs to be guaranteed. Secondly, the person who needs to respond is smart and able to capture the empty.


    Even if these two qualities meet the requirements.


    There is another condition that is difficult to change.


    Flying time of the ball in the air!


    Children understand that the longer the distance is, the longer the time is when the speed of the ball is constant. If you want to accelerate the ball, you need to have more control and strength, and the technical ability of the runner is also higher. Players who stop the air ball are also rare.


    Therefore, the opponent''s long pass, even when playing on the side, the ball''s flight time in the air, is the time when Millwall sets up the defense line. If the opponent plays more and less, then the dangerous zone of the penalty area will be narrowed. If the opponent is balanced by the number of people or less If you play more, Millwall can divide the troops to defend. At this time, the defensive ability of the double midfielder is reflected. A player assists the side, and a player continues to guard the middle to become a single midfielder, without direct formation. Interception, but to delay the opponent''s offense and fight for teammates'' defensive time. This was a measure he did not dare to take when Pirlo and Gattuso partnered in the past. Because Pirlo went to the defensive side, his speed and defensive ability were very good. It is difficult to form a considerable effect. If Gattuso assists the defense, it is likely to expose the defender to the frontal impact of the opponent.


    In most cases, Millwall must be more defense-less, because few opponents dare to defend Millwall with a balanced number of people. Millwall''s offensive pressure is to defend instead of attack!


    If the opponent does not make a long pass to a short pass, Millwall''s high-pressure forced defensive strategy can continue to be used.


    Michels''s full attack and defense can''t be pursued by Aldrich, but the opponent''s requirements must be firmly implemented: all members participate in the defense and contribute to the defense. This is attitude and discipline!


    Trident is no exception!


    Compared to Milwall¡¯s two full-backs, who played offense and defense at both ends, they seemed to be everywhere. Chelsea¡¯s two full-backs, Johnson and Bridge, were overshadowed. It was frequently exploded on the defensive end.


    Eriksson just asked the wing players to strengthen their defense, and then sat on the coach seat. He was thinking about countermeasures. For a while, he felt all the pressures that had not happened.


    The fast pace of the Premier League and the habit of snatching up close to each other make it impossible for Belon to play out. This is not related to whether the players change teams, but the style of the entire league, because each opponent is a similar set.


    In addition, Millwall itself strengthened the midfield. Nedved, Alonso, De Rossi, and three people wrapped Belon for dumplings. Belon also did not have the ability to dribble through the dragon, which made him in The presence of the midfield is getting lower and lower, falling into a similar dilemma in facing Manchester United, even worse than before, because at Manchester United, Millwall¡¯s Nedved is more offensive, the first time There must be a clear distance back to the midfield, and Pirlo''s defensive ability will not give Belon the pressure of Alonso''s personal entanglement.


    Duff and Goodjohnson returned to the defense, Crespo was single in the frontcourt, caught in the wall between the Millwall guard and the midfielder, and occasionally an overhead ball flew over, Crespo cleverly counter offside to form Single-handed, but saw Bout rushing out to control the ball, making him feel desperate.


    Chelsea was a little whimsical about trying to penetrate Millwall''s defense in a simple and rough way.


    Eriksson stood up for the second time in the 22nd minute, undoing his previous orders: not to make long passes, to change short passes, the attack was launched from the midfield and backcourt, and he made special use of Duff''s ability to attack on the sidelines.


    This idea is not beyond Millwall''s expectations, even their players feel nothing new, because many opponents play like this.


    But the player''s dribbling speed is still not as good as the speed of the ballless sprint. Millwall will have someone to delay Duff in the front field for the first time, and other defensive players will run to the back field, like a competition, the scene is quite good Exciting, but even if Duff crossed the obstacle and came to the frontcourt, they would find that their counterattack turned into a positional battle, and because Belon was restricted, Chelsea became powerless when playing a positional battle.


    Eriksson''s face sank like water, and he could naturally see the reason for Chelsea''s weak offense.


    It seems that Chelsea has never shown a particularly strong team spirit. Some of the points may seem to be a threat when controlling the ball, but there is no familiar teamwork. The whole is not active. Millwall pressured to **** the ball-controller for a short distance. The passing line is one of them, and Chelsea''s lack of tacit understanding is the second.


    Originally in the middle, he also expected Makelele to become Chelsea''s backbone, just like Makelele''s ability when he was at Millwall: Reshape the game!


    To Erikson''s surprise, Millwall changed the offensive routine. They no longer tended to attack in the middle, but took the sidewalk.


    This is actually not unpredictable. Could Aldridge ignore Makelele?


    It is not courage to call the opponent''s strongest defensive point, it is stupid, because it is a bosom!


    Bridge and Johnson, two full-backs, such a good target, do not abuse them, looking for Makelele? Is Millwall crazy?


    This made Makelele unable to play the advantage of reshaping the team''s offensive posture at the moment of the end of the attack. As for the transfer to the positional battle and then handing the ball to him, he can make a formal pass, but it is impossible to achieve A positional warfare is highly capable of attacking the organizers.


    When Chelsea''s winger retreated to half-court defense, Millwall''s two full-backs wouldn''t risk taking the rush. They would pay attention to keeping a reasonable distance from the opposing winger and continue to support the offense. If the opponent launched a counterattack, they could also Make defense the first time.


    In the 29th minute of the game, Larson tried a shot in the penalty area and was blocked by Terry''s blinding eye. Makelele, who had the ball, turned and passed the ball to Duff.


    Duff took the ball to start along the wing, and before being so fast, he was directly cut off by Schneider. Chelsea''s counterattack on the forward attack died before it broke out. After Schneider broke the ball, he looked up and observed the situation in the frontcourt. Pass the ball straight to Larson.


    Larson was back to defend and defended. At this time, he stopped and no one was marking. He pulled away from Bridge. After two steps with the ball in the horizontal direction, Sedselli was behind him. Henry had not yet returned to Terry. Before running to the empty place, Larson''s pass came as expected. Before Terry flew to block again, Henry kicked the ball and sent the ball into the corner of the goal. The ball was not fast, Kudic Nipan tried his best and still failed.


    "Henry helped Millwall reverse the score! Larson''s second assist! From the first round of the new season, Henry will once again challenge the Premier League Golden Boots, European Golden Boots, and won the Golden Boots with 25 goals last season. Van Nistelrooy, he must work hard. I believe that Henry, who has returned to the center position this season, will not let competitors take away the best shooter award with 25 goals. As long as he is not affected by the injury, Henry Premier League played one season. It¡¯s absolutely no problem scoring 30 goals! He is Millwall¡¯s scoring machine!"


    Henry''s goal completely silenced the fans of Stamford Bridge''s home team.


    On the sidelines, Aldridge closed his eyes slightly to show a smile of enjoyment. At the same time, his right hand didn''t know what he was gesturing in front of him, and his index finger kept turning, as if he was drawing a circle, as if enjoying a wonderful artistic feast.


    In the stands, Abu''s complexion began to look a little ugly.


    Millwall generals made a collective classic celebration action in front of the visiting team stand. They stood in a row with one hand on their ears and turned sideways. The guest lion fans burst out in unison in the stands: "Mad lion!"


    The Millwall public will never be satisfied, three times in a row.


    "Crazy Lion"


    "Crazy Lion"


    "Crazy Lion!"


    The echo of the mad lion echoed in the air at Stamford Bridge.


    "He is back! They are back! He is back! They are back!..."


    Martin Taylor shouted this sentence in his passionate explanation.


    Aldridge, who returned to Millwall at the end of last season, actually made the Premier League unfamiliar, and the people who followed him felt unfamiliar, as if Millwall was not motivated, and he was chewing on his old book and trying to use his past experience. Continue to be successful.


    However, after seeing the team of Aldridge and Millwall debut with a passion and enjoying the game in the new season, the kind of crazy lions and young handsomes familiar to Martin Taylor and Andy Gray, Are back!


    They create beauty in enjoyment! They work hard to make history in their passion!


    Standing out from all living beings, yearning for the immortal will in the immortal myth, the third-generation mad lion, such as wearing a cloud and arrow, rises into the sky without covering the edge...

 Chapter 941： Cut one more

    Chelsea''s lead from the dream start to being reversed, the situation on the court changed abruptly.


    The Chelsea crowds will blame, and unwillingness and repression will spread throughout the team.


    If a team that claims to compete with Europe¡¯s top team will be defeated by two goals and reversed scores, then this team is a joke, and it will only laugh.


    The more disadvantaged the situation is, the more courageous Chelsea will fight, because they are not unknown people!


    Whether they played a famous role in the former club or the fame brought about by the high transfer fees in the summer, they are unable to admit their lives and cannot take a step back!


    But courage and strength, effort and rewards are not necessarily proportional to the football pitch.


    If you are not braver and stronger, you will be able to reap rich results if you work harder.


    Especially in top contests.


    But courage is always better than counseling. This is immortal.


    Chelsea wanted to pull back the score in the last half of the first half. They overwhelmed the attack for three minutes and failed to break Millwall''s city gate. Crespo was only half a step away from the penalty area to form a single shot. Unfortunately, Nes The tower''s tough defense ends!


    In the 44th minute, Belon couldn''t find a spot in the frontcourt. After being too sticky, Nedvide cut the ball from behind, Millwall immediately launched a fast attack, the crazy lion, staged a quick kill Good show.


    De Rossi shot the ball to the side, they will not play the middle of the road today, they want to explode the double midfielder where Chelsea has Makelele, and then break through the lines of defense between Deseli and Terry. It''s harder to complete than hard, I am afraid that even the teamwork will not have a too high success rate.


    So they attacked from the side, which is also the offensive point that the new phase of the mad lion focuses on.


    When Ronaldinho drove the ball from the left, Nedved had just finished defending. This time, he didn''t rush up, only stopped at the halftime position. When De Rossi played, he So he gave Alonso a gesture and made Alonso rush forward. This was a transposition of players before and after midfield.


    Ronaldinho drew the ball to the front waistline area. Johnson was in front of him. Ronaldinho turned a blind eye and directly moved to the lateral movement of the ball. Johnson dared not follow Ronaldinho again, fearing that he would lose his position behind him, and Ronaldinho walked The inside line attracted Gremy''s attention, and Makelele was also facing the enemy. Ronaldinho did not perform a magical performance because he had to allocate physical energy on the defensive end. By the end of the first half of the game, he felt a little unable to rush. , You need to rest slowly.


    So he passed the ball to Alonso who rushed up. The appearance of Alonso surprised Chelsea''s double midfielder, which was quite daunting, because Nedved was not far behind Alonso, they Fear that once Nedved''s forward insertion will be unstoppable!


    So Alonso was in the middle of the front waist area, undisturbed to observe the situation, and easily displayed a straight over the top!


    This is a long diagonal pass that bypasses Chelsea''s midfielder and lands on the right side of the penalty area. The 35-year-old Deseli turned around to grab the landing point and it was significantly slower. The full-back on this side , Bridge, when the reaction came, wanted to catch up with that Dao Ming''s over 30 next year, but the explosive power is still frightening.


    The ball''s landing point is close to the bottom line, and it will be out of bounds only 1 meter away, but the ball has not landed at all.


    Larsson rushed to the horse for the first time. Before the ball hit the ground, he used the end of his foot arch to directly make the ball back to the middle, a half-high ball!


    I saw that in the middle road, even if Terry dragged Henry with small movements, he had clearly seen Henry''s body imbalance, but Henry leaned on Terry to rush out the entire body and made a volley shot!


    when!


    Henry Volley''s ball shot straight from the bottom to Chelsea''s goal. The ball hit under the beam and flew into the goal. Kudicini made a save but could only look back and sigh.


    Henry fell in the penalty area, but he kept looking at Chelsea''s goal. Almost at the same time he scored, he quickly stood up from the ground, and then straightened up, his head straight and his eyes looked sharply around, domineering!


    boom!


    The fans on the visiting team broke out again, and it was boiling. They praised Henry''s tremendous prone clap and screamed at Millwall''s another beautiful goal.


    When Larson trotting towards Henry, Henry''s dignified expression burst into a smile, his right arm was raised, and he pointed his finger at Larson. Henry, who said nothing, suddenly knelt on one knee and faced Larson slapped his thigh.


    Larsson was very impressed, and slowly lifted the right foot that gave Henry another assist. He stepped on Henry''s thigh and waited for Henry to do two shoe shines. Larsson closed his right leg. When he came back and stepped on the ground, Henry straightened up and hugged Larson tightly. Ronaldinho jumped on Henry''s shoulder from behind and jumped up, screaming and pressing on the two...


    "Millwall is another classic! Ronaldinho easily got rid of Johnson, Alonso found Larson in the frontcourt with an accurate overshoot and a wonderful goal from Alonso This pass started. After the ball flew from under his feet, it didn''t land again. Until it flew into the Chelsea gate, Larson threw off Bridge, and waited for the ball to directly cross the ball. Henry did not stop. The ball, under Terry''s interference, he sent the ball into Chelsea''s goal with an unexpected volley shot, scored twice, Henry scored twice, and Larson, the Swedish veteran, the king of the mad lion Now it seems that he is in the transition stage of his later career. He is more selfless and does not take the limelight. He is dedicated to this powerful team. Look at it. In the new season, he only played 45 minutes and he sent three assists. The cross just now, and the header of the first ball back to do, not only reflects his game reading ability, but also his rich experience and skilled skills, Klinsmann abandoned Larson last season is Absolutely wrong, Sir Hall knew this well, so he could let Klose leave, but he still had a heavy responsibility for Larson! 3:1, Millwall extended his lead to the end of the first half. Two goals! Ha ha ha, Chelsea, which is so popular this summer, should now understand the reality. At least in front of Millwall, they are not much different from the past."


    This must be one of Henry¡¯s most memorable goals in his career, and his celebration of shining shoes for Larson has become a classic picture of this game. Even for a long time in the future, fans Relish.


    Alonso, who directly attacked the goal, also completely forgot the mistakes after the opening. Fenghua Zhengmao and his teammates celebrated passionately and no longer looked like a follower.


    The crazy lion fans in the visiting team stands, especially some diehard fans, who looked a little rude in the outside world, and at the moment they were grinning a bit. Seeing that the head of Chelsea''s coach Eriksson bowed his head, it suddenly happened. feel.


    "Another Chelsea coach!"


    Millwall has not only suppressed Chelsea in these years, every coach of Chelsea has been ridiculed by crazy lion fans.


    Hoddle, Gullit, Viali, Ranieri, and now, Eriksson''s turn.


    A famous Swedish coach from Serie A?


    Want to come here and step on the mad lion?


    Or will it be a new bone at the foot of our young handsome?


    At the end of the halftime, Aldridge condensed his passionate attitude and walked gently towards the player channel. The fans at the nearby Chelsea stand taunted him a lot, most of them were cold-browed or worried. .


    Before returning to the dressing room, Aldridge glanced back at Erickson deliberately, but the other side did not notice the look he cast.


    Aldrich secretly said: If you can''t find Milwall''s weakness in 90 minutes, then you really can''t turn the waves in the Premier League.


    In the locker room, Aldridge clapped his hands to the players and praised their performance. In particular, he gave a thumbs-up to Alonso.


    Alonso can adjust his mentality at a critical moment. This is a very important quality and worthy of encouragement.


    In the future, due to the ups and downs on the field, he needs to stand alone. Today, it is both a lesson and an experience, which is of great benefit to his growth.


    "In the first half, we rushed to Chelsea''s wing and the effect was very good. In the second half, I persisted. I will reiterate our attitude towards the game this season. Don''t control the score. You must firmly follow our tactical design to play. Accumulating experience one by one, making teamwork more powerful one after another, and reducing mistakes one after another, then I believe that soon, the Millwall you represent will become a new player in UEFA. A special team!"


    The lockers in the locker room will agree in unison. They will encourage each other. Like Nesta, who came to the team last season, they are really integrated into the team. He can feel that Aldridge is giving this team a new injection. The quality, from ability to soul, makes the players themselves excited, as if Aldridge is a cult leader, there is no need to question, just follow.


    Back in the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought.


    Aldridge still stood on the sidelines, so that the commentator began to explore this detail in his spare time.


    "If I remember correctly, in the 01-02 season, Sir Hall led the Millwall game, most of the time sitting in the coach seat, the first game of the season, he stood again On the sidelines."


    "Maybe it''s because it''s London Derby today."


    "No, in terms of strength, when playing Arsenal, Sir Hall also sat steadily for 90 minutes and killed the enemy West Ham United. He was also sitting on the coach seat waiting for the award. I think he may indeed be the supervising ball. The team¡¯s performance, if it encounters any dissatisfaction with him, will be pointed out immediately, although this team, there are not many places where people can pick out the fault."


    "Hahaha, in this way, Eriksson should stand on the sidelines. Bridge and Johnson''s performance today is a disaster. Bridge and Larson are not on the same track at all. He always finds it at a critical moment. To Larson, there was no chance of fouling, Johnson was even worse, he was devastated by Ronaldinho, lost all his confidence, right? Poor boy, he is still under 20 years old, this Chelsea U20 is the most expensive Player, I hope don¡¯t let today become an eternal nightmare, anyway, he is one of the future seeds of the England national team."


    Chelsea in the second half is more hard-working than in the first half, saying that it''s **** when it''s nice, and it''s rough when it''s bad!


    Abu sitting in the stands couldn''t laugh anymore.


    What he wants to see is beautiful football, even if there is no beautiful football, anyway, it should be victory football.


    However, in the current scene, Chelsea played ugly, and the score was two goals behind, which really does not satisfy him. After all, who spent more than 300 million pounds, hoping to be happy?


    Aldridge didn¡¯t find Chelsea changed much in the second half. The only obvious change was that Marklele¡¯s role in the offense was more obvious. One was to ease the pressure on Belon, and the other was that Millwall had weakened relatively before. Mid-course offense, right medicine, double back waist defense, surely overkill, Makelele put a little bit of offense, will not cause too much strength loss for mid-field defense, after all, Millwall penetrates the opponent''s offensive point, most of them come from the side Road offense.


    Aldridge''s mouth slightly raised a sneer: Eriksson, haven''t figured out how to fight Millwall? Tick ??tick, time can''t wait for others.

 Chapter 942： Real weakness

    Chelsea''s full-back defense in the second half clearly tightened the penalty area.


    Not a new change.


    Inside and outside, Chelsea''s full-back can only block up to one at most. Millwall weakened the middle attack, and Chelsea will put the side to the opponent. If it is a pass, Nedved will not be threatened in the penalty area. Henry''s own header ability is terrible, but they are not afraid of them.


    Traditionally, this will still work well.


    But Millwall is more than flying on two wings now?


    It''s a four-line impact on the sidewalk!


    It sounds a little difficult to understand. There are only two sides. Where are there four lines?


    However, many professional ball critics who have watched the game have already realized the changes in Millwall''s wing offense when repeatedly thinking about the overall situation.


    Different tracks on the same side!


    That is, Millwall''s full-back and winger will never be on the same track.


    Two wingers, two fullbacks, inward cuts and sets, there will be three and a half people at the same time, one of the two fullbacks will not completely rush to the front line, and adjust and switch according to the side of the attack.


    As for Ronaldo Jr., Ashley Cole must have set a side, and vice versa, corresponding to the other side, the same is true.


    How to accomplish this kind of sideline oppression depends on the quality of the full-back and the ability of the winger to read and play. The winger takes the first step actively. If the side is set, the full-back behind will be transformed into a straight forward and cut the opponent''s rib! If the winger cuts in, the full-back will quickly set the edge to form a response point.


    In short, Millwall''s full-back and winger, this game will not appear on the same track at the same time, or the same tactical role.


    Although Bridge and Johnson tightened the penalty zone, the main defenders were Larson and Ronaldinho. When Millwall¡¯s sideline oppression generated a certain number of people on the front line, they could still perform in a narrow range. Shock.


    However, Schneider and Ashley Cole, after all, are not forwards. They become wingers and cut into the ribs of the penalty area. The quality of the completed shot cannot be compared with the forward of the Indian seal.


    Before 60 minutes, Millwall completed 6 shots in just 15 minutes, of which Ashley Cole completed 3 feet and Schneider 1 foot. Only Ashley Cole had one shot Within the range of the goal, the other three shots all flew into the stands.


    But the offensive threat was clear at a glance, and Millwall''s flank storm scared his opponents away.


    Gremi involuntarily began to enter the restricted area, and Deseli also used his experience to start free replacement to prevent Millwall''s full-back defender from haunting or transposing them with the winger.


    In the 62nd minute, Aldridge made a substitution on the sidelines. He hugged C Ronaldo''s shoulders and gave him a brief explanation of the task after the game. C Ronaldo did not nod like the other players. understand.


    "Larson, who had three assists in this game, was replaced. The replacement was Portuguese genius Cristiano Ronaldo. The visiting team fans stood up and applauded in the stands of Stamford Bridge. Larson deserves these applause. ''S performance is impeccable, if there is a goal, it will be perfect."


    Larson and Cristiano Ronaldo gave high-five substitutions, and Aldridge also clapped his hands with Larsen.


    Before the start of the new season, Aldridge had a conversation with Larson. The team will reduce his appearances this season. Basically, the games he sends are all opponents or important matches in the middle and upper reaches. Others The game will be played by Cristiano Ronaldo, and, like today, replacing him in more than 60 minutes may not be an occasional one, because after all, he will be 32 years old after all, Aldridge defends the team. The requirement is very good physical fitness. Larson will definitely not be able to hold on to 90 minutes, unless they take the initiative to kill the game time when the score is comfortable and make part of the game time into garbage time.


    However, Aldridge doesn¡¯t really care about the scores and results now. He cares more about the playing time. The more playing time, every minute, he has to train his troops and hone the team¡¯s new system, especially the two wingbacks. Changes, as well as the sharpening of the team''s new midfield structure, this is not a safe and stable life. Winning the game utilitarianally can achieve the expected results. It is impossible to practice every time. Even if it is utilitarian, there may be good results, but for the long-term construction cycle of a team in the next few years, this is only a short-term benefit, and Aldridge will not be so short-sighted.


    Aldridge replaced the veteran Larson with Cristiano Ronaldo. This is a counterpoint substitution, but the details are adjusted and the overall situation is not changed. At this point, Eriksson is also aware of this.


    At the point of substitution at Millwall, Eriksson''s eyes suddenly became sharp and enlightened, and there was a sudden enlightenment.


    He Huo Ran got up and walked to the sidelines, decisively called Duff to the front of his body, gave his life to Duff ears, and insisted on Duff to execute, and asked Duff to convey the same tactical adjustment content to Goodjohnson.


    When walking back to the coach seat, Ericson''s mind was lingering: Ashley Cole and Schneider frequently cut straight from the side to the running route of the restricted area ribs.


    Ronaldinho and Larson wouldn''t feel new if they did so.


    Just like Duff and GoodJohnson will also play from the sideline. In the era of Millwall sweeping Europe, the impact of the winger on the goal has long been heard all over the world, and it is familiar, although there is no one yet. Clearly defined, but this is different from traditional wingers. It is a new type of winger in modern football. In the swing of assists and goals, modern wingers are more inclined to score goals and weaken the previous assists. This is the general trend, because Millwall has used this set to achieve dazzling achievements. As for why Ronaldinho and Larson have assisted more than goals, the reason is also simple, because they have become a negligible offensive terminator in the opponent''s eyes, limiting them It is no longer an old vision to look at traditional wingers, but to limit it as a scoring point. The trade-offs and rushing are not Millwall styles. They are better at activating each point of a team.


    Now Millwall seems to intend to do more articles on the side attack, to interpret the side attack of the frenzy to another new level, fusion and change forward, today''s small test, good power.


    What Erickson is concerned about is: why Millwall can even play such an intuitive threat from the full-back, while Chelsea''s winger is clearly available in front of him, but he cannot create a threat in the penalty area.


    When Millwall''s two full-backs repeatedly hit the Chelsea penalty area, Eriksson suddenly realized.


    Chelsea''s offensive, far away!


    Yes, when Millwall''s full-backs assisted them, there was a clear space behind them. As long as Chelsea''s winger runs alertly, it is like a flat space.


    But the question is, is that empty space really useful?


    That''s an empty side, not a restricted area. It can be crossed at an angle of 45 degrees, but very few world waves can directly blast the ball directly into the opponent''s goal!


    In the final analysis, your offense must hit the penalty area to create a threat. Even if you can''t enter the penalty area, you must hit the fan-shaped 35 yard area directly in front of the goal. This area is also threatened by long shots.


    Chelsea was too concerned about playing behind the opponent''s full-back, so on the offensive line, he first advanced from the side and then turned back to the center to create a threat. Compared with Millwall''s two assists, the range of assists was large. The full-back attacking routine, if Schneider and Ashley Cole threaten the goal, they directly hit the penalty area directly from the side, the distance is obviously closer than Chelsea''s route from the side, and the distance is closer, which means The time of the impact process is shorter, making it more difficult for opponents to prevent. From slow start, decisive and accelerated acceleration of the outbreak, the time from speed increase to run in place may be within 5 seconds. After all, they don¡¯t need to rush to the Chelsea goal. on-line.


    Looking at Millwall''s backcourt defense strategy, Eriksson firmly believes that Chelsea has fallen into a "trap".


    They walked on the sidelines because the opponent had two midfielders on the backline and bypassed them. This is a normal offensive thinking. The offensive player is to avoid the opponent, where is free, where to go.


    Millwall strengthened the midfield, which is to block the cooperation of the side and the team when the opponent organizes the attack. The change of direction forces the opponent to counterattack to go to the side and go to the black. When it comes to the front waistline after halftime, The two midfielders were able to separate one over the middle because of their defensive midfielders, and they were only stuck inside, instead of rushing into the past to force the opponent to get rid of the space, just to delay time, or, the opponent Driving into a dead end on the sideline.


    Millwall''s full-back who defended in the frontcourt, the route of defense is not the side, but the middle!


    Either support the midfield defense of the midfielder. If the opponent attacks deeper, they will rush into the penalty area to fill the center back to mark or the free position after interception!


    This caused Chelsea to be caught in a dead end or wait for someone in the backcourt after the half-court attack was delayed, but found that the other party had calmly arranged a tight defense, although it looked a bit messy, For example, a full-back may be standing not far from the back of the waist, but another back has withdrawn to the penalty area.


    But Millwall''s defensive strategy has never given Chelsea limited space in the penalty area or the fan-shaped area directly in front of the goal.


    Eriksson realized the crux of Chelsea''s offense, or rather, the limitations of their players.


    If Duff is replaced by Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho will not go down the sidewalk even if there is time on the sideline, but will go inwardly.


    why?


    Since it is a counterattack, of course we must hit the speed!


    You rely on the speed of the dribbling ball, which is far less than the speed of running without the ball. Of course, the distance must be the closest, and the sideline is tight. Even if the midfielder runs forward, the distance is not too short. If you hit directly In the middle, first the offensive advancement speed is increased. Secondly, the wing is empty already. When he takes the ball forward, the wing is empty and handed over to his teammates to run forward. You can contain the opponent''s defense in the middle, even if the team With the cooperation, the distance between teammates is also closer, and the players in the middle will not be trapped in a state of isolation. From a global perspective, there will be more changes that can be derived from the middle of the road, and the opponent will have to guard against three lines. On the left and right sides, there is a middle road for the offensive advancement. If the attack is simply by the side road, the next step of the attack is the middle road, or the farther side, and the farther side, the threat will be the lowest. Far, the success rate of passing, and the probability of the match will be greatly reduced.


    In the 70th minute of the game, Chelsea brought the two-side forward close to the middle in a counterattack. GoodJohnson took the ball and gave up the sideline to go inside and started to cooperate with Belon. The ball quickly turned to the left of Duff, Mill Wall''s waistline suddenly tightened.


    For a time, De Rossi and Alonso were directly attacked by the other three people. The two people showed their immaturity in cooperation, especially the overall situation. It seems that Alonso and De Rossi did not know whether they should blockade up. Hu and Gudjohnsen directly cut into the running route of the rib of the penalty area, while naturally relaxing the defense against Belon.


    Fortunately, Duff passed the ball back to Belon, who was directly destroyed by Southgate''s straight to Crespo. Otherwise, in this counterattack, Chelsea may be able to pull back a goal.


    Aldridge bowed his head and smiled.


    Eriksson finally realized Millwall''s real weakness: midfielder.

 Chapter 943： Unpredictable

    Most of the defensive players who are counterattacked are frightened, and the fewer the number of defenders, the deeper they feel.


    Millwall is no longer on the path of utilitarian football, although winning is more important than everything, but Aldrich¡¯s hand prevents him from playing the most extreme anti-reverse, otherwise, like Ronaldinho, Kaka C Ronaldo, if you let them play in 90 minutes and defend in 70 minutes, they will release those 20 minutes. Will they be happy? Winning is realistic, but this process is what players care about most.


    Moreover, Millwall wants to build a steel defense line. From the back line to the lower back, he has to change a few people, cut off his talents, and strengthen his muscles. His own technology and power are against each other, otherwise there will be no power and technology flow in UEFA. The pattern that was so obvious in the past is now developing in the direction of all-round assimilation, but it does not mean that the two are compatible and can reach the strongest level.


    Therefore, Millwall is defending instead of attacking. It is normal to be counterattacked by the opponent. You cannot attack for 90 minutes without letting the opponent get the ball. It is also impossible to withdraw all the opponents in place every time the opponent gets the ball. Counter space.


    Therefore, limiting the opponent''s counterattack is the test of the heart and experience of defensive players.


    Like Makelele''s arrogance with one enemy and three imminent dangers, and finally calmly strangling the other''s attack, Millwall''s two midfielders did not reach that level.


    Technology needs to be strengthened, experience needs to be accumulated, and the heart needs to be impacted again and again to be strong!


    The defensive player is the grass on the roadside, and it is possible to make a name for itself if you survive the sun and wind, and the flowers in the greenhouse cannot grow.


    Therefore, even if Aldridge leads 3-1, he will not let the team withdraw. In a sense, this kind of adventure is to accelerate the growth of De Rossi and Alonso. In the process of human growth, It will make mistakes, fall, and will be very upset, but as long as you come through and experience this intangible wealth, it will make people stronger. The same principle applies to football clubs. Audric will not treat De Rossi Protecting with Alonso and letting other players sacrifice to **** them requires them to face the danger again and again, so that they can grow faster and better.


    In addition to the offensive wing storm sublimation, the third-generation mad lion is the improvement of defensive ability in the midfield and backcourt, including the improvement of the organization ability of the midfield.


    To insist that this kind of adventure has any other guarantees, it can only be said that De Rossi and Alonso are standing in front of Nedved, and behind them are Nesta and Southgate, so that their mental pressure will be Reduce it.


    Chelsea finally found the correct counterattack in the 70th minute of the game. Although it was not the perfect counterattack in Aldrich''s eyes, the threat finally came out, and the pressure on Millwall''s backline was also reflected.


    Aldridge made a second substitution.


    "Nedved, who did not perform well in the performance of the game, was replaced and replaced by Brazilian Kaka."


    Kaka''s playing is also a signal, because Kaka and Nedved are different types of players, with different abilities, naturally used in different ways, even if they are standing in the same position.


    But Aldridge made a substitution just one minute ago, and the situation on the field changed abruptly.


    Cristiano Ronaldo drew the ball on the right and wanted to personally break through the bridge. Just after turning inwards, Makelele made a deep retracement. The goal was successfully intercepted. After Makelele made a steal, he drove the ball from the middle to run up, just C When Rone cut, Kaka ran forward and turned his head. At this time, Kaka was a bit far from Makelele. After chasing a dozen meters, he was just about to catch up. Makelele took the ball and Chelsea played in the frontcourt. The advantage of counterattack is revealed.


    In the course of Makelele''s dribbling, Duff and Good Johnson rushed forward, Duff was faster, and Good Johnson was just a bit ahead of Belon.


    Makelele''s ball was passed to Goodjohnson, directly over the center of Belon, which surprised Alonso. At the time of recovery, Goodjohnson passed the ball back to Belon.


    When Belon is not under pressure from his opponent, he can use his talents very well. He definitely has strong personal abilities, but there are only certain limitations, there is no space, when he is stuck by his opponent. , He seemed to have lost half his magic.


    At this time, he exhibited the magic of his wizard.


    An oblique long pass obliquely blocked the sideline of the big penalty area. Duff succeeded in countering the offside. He stopped the ball in front of the bottom line and immediately played the ball before Nesta blocked him. In Chelsea, no one dared to try today. Heads up Nesta, as long as Nesta appears in front of him, as if the ball under his feet is a bomb, he sends it out quickly.


    I have to say that Duff made the most correct decision. When Nesta hadn''t completely blocked him from the angle of the ball, he passed the ball and crossed!


    Crespo grabbed a spot in the middle, he was obviously faster than Southgate, but Southgate was better selected, the two were entangled, both of them slowed down, Crespo barely kicked when he missed the ball When he fell to the ground, Southgate physically interfered with him, but his movements were not obvious, and the referee did not punish the foul. The leaked ball was not touched and rolled to the other side.


    Bout''s attention shifted with the ball''s attention, and was originally prepared for the rescue of Crespo''s point shot. Both Crespo and Southgate missed this point, and then looked in the direction of the ball''s rolling, Butte''s face changed drastically, and he abandoned the goal directly. Good Johnson, who was out in the back, didn''t stop the ball. He shot directly. The ball rolled from Butte''s underarm and went straight into the goal.


    "Chelsea pulled one! Good Johnson scored twice to help Chelsea narrow the score to a goal! This counterattack, Chelsea hit the speed of the game, from the Makelele midfielder, Good Johnson back to do To Belon, the latter directly sent a long pass to find Duff. Duff crossed the middle without any delay or hesitation. It was a classic counterattack blitz!"


    Eriksson applauded and signaled the players to make persistent efforts, with nearly 20 minutes left, and hope to equalize the score!


    Aldridge did not blame the players, experience problems.


    When Chelsea hit the speed, this attack and defense became 4VS4, Chelsea Trident plus Veron, Millwall double back and double defender, where did they lose? De Rossi failed to get back in the penalty area for the first time. If he did so, the ball would not roll on the course of Good Johnson, but would be controlled by him to the right of the penalty spot.


    This information will definitely be recorded by the Millwall coaching staff, and will communicate with the players when summing up the game after the game.


    2:3, only one ahead.


    Aldridge is not worried.


    On the contrary, Chelsea saw hope, perhaps making the game more open, and Millwall still has many offensive opportunities.


    Sure enough, he did not expect.


    Chelsea just pulled a ball back. Two minutes later, Millwall made an attack from the left side. When Ronaldinho drew the ball inside, while Cristiano Ronaldo also ran inside, Chelsea''s Gremmi came to mark. Ronaldinho and Makelele subconsciously entered the penalty area to block Ronaldo''s receiving route. Ronaldinho passed the ball to Henry who was leaning against Terry. Henry kept the ball and made a kick to return the ball and pass the ball. Gave Kaka.


    Kaka also did not stop the ball, but instead took the ball a step forward and went directly to the line of the penalty area. Then, with Henry and Ronaldinho as the cover point, there was probably only one person between the two. The ball made another step, a big step!


    Terry and Gremi unconsciously stretched their feet to block Kaka¡¯s line. They did not expect that the Brazilian¡¯s explosive power was so amazing that he rushed past the two of them!


    Then the **** could only allow the next person to pass, and Kaka, rushing past unreasonably without speed!


    After the past, the spring blossomed, and it was single-handed!


    21-year-old Kaka, with the impetus and passion that the young people deserve, kicked the ball into the Chelsea gate with one shot!


    This series of actions was only completed in just 4 seconds, from when he touched the ball and hit the penalty area to form a single pole, but the distance of 12 yards, then to the ball, all in one go!


    Kudicini spread his hands and gestured to question his teammates: What is it? Why did he let him in directly?


    Chelsea will be hit hard, there is nothing to explain.


    In addition to the amazing explosiveness of Kaka, there is another point: Ignore this point!


    For almost 75 minutes, they were overwhelmed by Millwall''s sidewalk storm. At first, they were alert to Nedved, but Nedved did not enter the penalty zone in this way, so he paid attention. It was all placed on Millwall''s trident and full-back. Who would have thought that Kaka suddenly came here for a while, and Terry and Gremi''s defensive defensiveness was also due to a sudden brain crash and was stunned.


    Kaka didn''t care what Chelsea was talking about. He didn''t play long before the team lost the ball. Then, he scored!


    After running to the two-finger sky in Jiaoqi District, he showed a hearty smile, and the fans in the stands kept cheering for him.


    "Are another Derby heroes born? Will this Brazilian guy, Kaka, take over Nedved? Just after playing, he gave the Lions fans a peace of mind, 4:2, Millwall restarted Two goals ahead."


    "This Brazilian guy doesn''t look like a Brazilian at all. Compare him to Ronaldinho and let the fans who are not familiar with them judge that they are also from Brazil? Even Kaka It¡¯s not like the traditional South American players."


    "Haha, Sir Hall doesn''t care so much, just look at his Millwall, it''s simply the World Super League!"


    Aldridge showed thumbs up to Kaka from the sidelines. In addition to appreciating Kaka, there was also praise for Ronaldinho and Henry.


    If the former Milwall''s mid-course attack, center and Nedved ambush behind him become the main containment forces, and cover the winger during the key marking, then the third-generation mad lion is mainly based on the side storm. After holding down the opponent''s attention, the midfield attack will become an invincible killer!

 Chapter 944： My Chelsea will be king!

    The score was changed to 4:2 and Aldridge made the last substitution.


    Ram goes up, Schneider goes down.


    Germans for Germans.


    "Hero Schneider, who equalized the game for Millwall, was replaced. It is interesting that the player who replaced him was his compatriot, 19-year-old Ram, from the Bayern Munich Youth Training Camp. Bayern Munich After receiving German main striker Klose and sending Ram and 12.5 million pounds of cash to the Millwall club, the German youngster got the chance to play in the first game of the new season, much earlier than we expected. "


    Aldridge is still a substitution, but the impact on the team is still there. Schneider is on the court, no matter how many scores, Schneider will attack, and after Ram is on the court, he will be the first one. A standard full-back is a defender. This is a defender, or his job is a necessary process for a defensive player. At the beginning, regardless of other abilities, the defense is the first, the defense is the first, the defense is not close, and the offense is not good. Or else, just go and play the winger.


    At this time, even if Chelsea found the correct routine in the counterattack, Millwall will no longer give the opponent a sideline. The chain reaction caused by this is that Millwall¡¯s double-back defense area can be reduced, and the attention is not focused. Will be pinned by other local airs, defensive quality has improved a lot than before.


    Millwall''s offense began to turn to the center frequently, returning to their previous set with the center as the propulsion point, three directions from left to center and right to create the chance of the last pass or fatal blow.


    Cristiano Ronaldo wasted two good chances. On the right, his speed can explode Bridge. Cristiano Ronaldo, who had many opportunities last season, has made rapid progress, especially in the consciousness of the winger, but, probably Allowing him to play on the right and not as good as cutting right foot in the left, his shot was confiscated by Kudicini once and he flew to the stands once, which was an almost half-single shot opportunity.


    Aldridge certainly knows that Ronaldo¡¯s threat on the left wing is much higher than that on the right wing. Modern wingers play with the left foot on the right and the right foot on the left. The goal is to cut in and shoot, but Ronaldo can be very versatile. Almighty refers to the category of "forward", so he placed him on the right in the early stage to sharpen his team consciousness. After two seasons, he was moved to the left. Eventually, he may become a free man on the front line, everywhere.


    Another factor is because Ronaldo is not strong enough. He cannot coexist with Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho can tolerate Ronaldo, but Ronaldo certainly cannot keep up with Ronaldinho¡¯s rhythm, and once Ronaldo reaches At a certain level, Millwall''s 433 will be transferred to a new technical and tactical system.


    In the last 5 minutes, Chelsea sprinted repeatedly, and the wing players didn''t have the energy. The pace of the game slowed down completely. Millwall was still playing an offensive and Aldridge shook his head straight on the sidelines.


    A weird scene appeared on the field.


    Alonso tirelessly tried to attack, looking for all the free time in the frontcourt, waiting for the teammate''s ball-free running to make a threatening pass, and Ronaldinho would return the ball to Alonso after receiving the ball.


    Invisible contradictions appeared in the team''s technical and tactical.


    Although the contradiction is small, the problem that can be reflected is very clear: Alonso''s grasp of rhythm is not enough.


    When is it fast, when is it slow, when does it numb the opponent, when does it deliberately control the rhythm to relax the opponent, and when does it pull the rhythm of the game to a rate that is so fast that the opponent collapses.


    These are things that the team can''t specifically train players and get immediate results. It needs a lot of games to hone, so that the person who masters the rhythm can understand, experience and be powerful.


    Pirlo was in a good era. At that time, he slowly grew and became stronger. Now Alonso is in a tense and stressful environment.


    During his limited playing time, Ram was well behaved and contributed to a successful interception of Duff. No other challenges were encountered.


    "The first round of the Premier League in the new season, Chelsea 2:4 Millwall at home, the game is over, congratulations to Millwall for winning the first season of the new season, and Chelsea, which has been discussed for more than a month, can learn from this game. Lessons, and a clear understanding of reality. Rome was not built in a day. Former club owner Bates didn¡¯t succeed in 21 years. Now that he has a new owner, I am afraid it will not be a short-term success for this team. , Chelsea has become stronger, which is obvious to all, but they are not yet strong to the highest level!"


    After the game, Aldridge did not shake hands with Eriksson. He purposely waited for 3 seconds outside the player channel. He did not see Eriksson get up from the coach seat and went straight away.


    Millwall players, except Bout, today''s game and the players who were replaced are standing in a row on the court. They took off the jersey they wore during the game and smiled at each other, probably before they played. After negotiating, the right hand grabbed the jersey together and sprinted 15 meters towards the visiting team''s stand. The action uniformly threw the jersey onto the visiting team''s stand, causing the Lions fans to explode after the fight. Cheers.


    This scene has become the classic picture of the first round of the Premier League this season.


    Fleet Street interpreted the meaning of the Millwall players'' behavior after the game: mocking Chelsea!


    I vaguely remembered that Chelsea, who was undisclosed last season, banned the exchange of jerseys after the game in order to save costs.


    Millwall''s players, at Stamford Bridge, collectively threw the jersey into the stands and gave them to their fans for collection.


    In the stands, Chelsea''s new boss, Abu, has turned into a pale face.


    Chelsea¡¯s hostile sentiment with Millwall, or the relationship between the dead and the enemy, where does an outsider care?


    However, the team he spent painstakingly building lost the ball at home, not only was he defeated by his opponents with gorgeous and beautiful football, but also here to anti-guest carnival, is it like a slap in the face of his face?


    What makes him ridiculous is that the rhetoric is a joke, and the careful selection of players to form a team becomes futile.


    When he got up and walked into the stadium passage, an assistant beside him said comfortingly: "Today is just an accident, we are a brand new team."


    "Don''t tell me an accident! This is absolutely unacceptable! Unacceptable! I came here, not to be the background to others'' success, not to be a clown! If I bought Tottenham, Tottenham must become this country The strongest team! Now, I have bought Chelsea. My Chelsea must also be the strongest team in this country! Can you hear it clearly? Can you hear it clearly? Manchester United is better than us? Arsenal is better than us? Millwall is better than us? Then dismember them! Beat them! Step them underfoot! In this land of declining empire, the most popular sport or entertainment of the people, my Chelsea, will be king! Know what is king Are all people crawling and kneeling at the king''s feet trembling!"


    Abu''s rare thunder was furious, but no one else could see it in this passage.


    His assistant was obviously stunned. As Abu walked away, he frowned and whispered: "But your personal relationship with the Hall family..."


    In fact, in the view of Abu''s team, England football, Manchester United, Arsenal, have not reached a transcendent height, the only thing that blocks Chelsea, or after carefully constructed Chelsea, to become the ruler, the goal to surpass There is only one: Millwall.


    What is the history of the past, not what they care about, just like Liverpool has 18 top league titles and 4 Champions League titles, so what? Before Abu came, Chelsea ranked above Liverpool last season. Is Liverpool still an opponent?


    Manchester United and Arsenal seem to be better than Chelsea, but as long as Chelsea continues to invest, it is not difficult to surpass them. After all, the two teams have not made particularly shocking achievements in recent years.


    Only Millwall, this is the European enemy!


    Not only is Chelsea struggling to surpass Millwall, other European giants are all on the goal of team building, with the standard of defeating Millwall, why? Breaking Millwall, is it far from the top of Europe?


    But Chelsea boss Abu, everyone around him knows that he has a good personal relationship with the Hall family man who pioneered the wealth myth in the United States, and both camps run clubs and are in a competitive environment. They are afraid if the "hostility" in the club will affect the personal relationship between Abu and Barnett Hall.


    Abu, aware of his gaffe, quickly sorted out his emotions, calmed down, and when he heard the assistant''s words, he stopped and turned to look disapproved: "Will you and your friend cause conflicts because of the success or failure of playing the game? That''s the childish behavior that only spoiled children do."


    Either Abu or Barnett, neither of them will have the feeling of "live for football, die for football".


    And with the wealth they have, they don¡¯t treat football clubs with the vision of past team owners investing in commodities. Manchester United bosses regard Manchester United as commodities. Arsenal¡¯s shareholders also use rational management as their team building policy. What they care about is The financial statement is concerned about the balance of payments and profitability, but Abu is not. His mentality is the original intention that he deliberately emphasized after buying Chelsea: entertainment.


    Ordinary fans may find it difficult to have such a mentality, just as some people go to the casino to get rich overnight, while some people go to the casino just for pleasure.


    Aldridge and his friends sat at the gaming table and played all night, losing only tens of thousands of pounds. It was just a smile. If someone turned their faces or made conflicts because of the winning and losing of the gaming table, they could only say that everyone was not the same person. The gambling mentality is different.


    Entertainment will also have competition, playing games, who wants to lose all the time? Who doesn''t want to win when playing gambling? Mindset just determines the reaction when faced with the result, and does not change the goal of entertainment.


    As long as you don''t break the law, what can''t you do?


    In Abu''s view, suppressing Millwall is either a "war" or a game.


    We are competing, you become weaker, relatively, I become stronger.


    His relationship with the Hall family, as Andrew said, he and Barnett have the best relationship, followed by Andrew, Aldridge finally, as to whether it will cause a relationship breakdown, Abu thinks this is simply impossible Rationally, playing a game, playing to turn your face Are you still a kid?


    Like in his eyes, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ??Manchester United, Arsenal, Milan duo, etc. teams can try to hollow Millwall, causing Millwall one after another trouble, why not Chelsea? You didn''t turn your face with those passers-by, do you want to turn your face with your friends?


    Really turning around, Abu only thinks that Aldridge is a child, and he also believes that Barnett will not care, just like they race together, have wins and losses, entertainment and pastimes, what does it mean to be angry? Can''t afford it?


    Abu¡¯s assistant probably figured out what the boss meant, and originally had some scruples about Millwall, but now, he has to start re-planning, causing them trouble, and weakening the blow to Millwall as much as possible. Let Chelsea get on the right track and become stronger day by day, and one day, Chelsea will replace Millwall''s position in UEFA!

 Chapter 945： Long way to go

    Aldridge hurriedly interviewed after the game, in his mouth, he was surprised to hear "Milwall''s performance is acceptable today".


    Fleet Street thinks that Aldridge is also degrading Chelsea in a change of direction.


    But this is not Aldridge''s pretentious attitude, it is indeed a true evaluation of the heart.


    The players sang songs on their backs in a bust-up style on the return bus. Good or bad was the second. In short, they were happy.


    This is the familiar state of the old Millwall players. Work hard and try their best to go to the game. After winning the game, you can celebrate in a small group with little waves. It doesn¡¯t matter if the male duck¡¯s throat is out of tune.


    Lao Tzu is happy, no one in the world can stop it!


    Both Stramachioni and Blank were stunned by Millwall¡¯s away victory and might have never thought that Millwall, the king in Europe, would be so ¡°vulgar¡± after winning. status!


    "Boss, how about we record a Millwall song together?"


    Ronaldinho shouted loudly in the compartment, and Aldridge said without looking back: "Okay, as long as you don''t use the training time to practice songs, whatever."


    The whole team roared with laughter. They sang blindly and sang blindly. They really wanted to record, and they really wanted to see if they had talents and voices. Even if they had to make up, it would take time to practice. Ronaldinho, his time Can be more nervous than others.


    "According to Millwall''s state today, the outside world''s assessment of us is indeed correct."


    Stella Maggioni whispered excitedly.


    Aldrich turned his head to stare at him, and Stella Maggioni saw Aldridge''s expression as if he had said the wrong thing, and asked: "Why? Am I wrong?"


    Aldridge nodded slightly and said softly: "Do you know why Millwall made a league record in 2002?"


    "Because the team is strong."


    "This is nonsense. But do you know where the strongest is?"


    "Uh, just say that, what is Millwall now, compared to the former Millwall, what is missing?"


    "Game dominance and overall rhythm control. In terms of the league alone, today''s Chelsea team is the best team we face."


    "what?"


    Stella Maggioni was surprised, seeing Aldridge''s gentle expression converging, and a dignified look in his eyes.


    Aldridge looked down slightly and said: "Chelsea will make the game open. They try to prove what they have, and they have a strong ambition to treat the game. So on the court space, the two teams are in a tug of war. Under such circumstances, Millwall does not lack of offensive space, can play the team and player''s personal abilities calmly, and shows a full range of advantages. If Millwall was two years ago, he can play at least 5 goals for Chelsea today. However, in the league, You will meet teams with no ambitions, you will meet many, many teams who just want to get 1 point on you and are happier than 10 points, they will put on the ultimate defensive formation and will not give you the slightest offensive space , And use rough cutting tactics, foul tactics to limit your individual players, space is to restrict the team, foul is to restrict the individual, and then, the most difficult problem to test a team comes, the overall rhythm, because no team will 90 minutes dead in his own half, breaking the intensive defense of the world problem, Millwall did the best two years ago, because we are unmatched in the overall rhythmic dominance, we will seduce our opponents, consume The opponent, playing with the opponent, creating a lot of illusions, and capturing every distraction of the opponent, and even the poor breathing rhythm of the running stop, and then crushing the opponent! But now Millwall needs to reshape this ability, so this The biggest challenge of the season is not the direct dialogue of the Champion Group. Such a game is not difficult. The most difficult thing is to fight the tough battle and fight the intensive defense of all teams outside the Champion Group."


    Stramagioni''s excitement and joy in winning the game disappeared. He believes that the judgment based on Aldridge''s experience will not go wrong.


    Just like if you don¡¯t watch all the games of Millwall in the 01-02 season, especially observe the changing factors that break the deadlock during their tough battle, you will not find the importance of Pirlo¡¯s mastery of the global rhythm. People will only remember the majestic eight. Ronaldinho, Henry, Larson, Nedved, and others, because they rushed to the front line, because they are the first to attack the tough and break the wasteland, but if there is no rhythm of the organization master Pirlo, Blindly rushing and killing, most will not receive strange effects, because the first line is often a dangerous area where the opponents are heavily guarded.


    Even Aldridge believes that the Champions League may be less difficult than the league. Although the Champions League opponents are definitely stronger than the league, the UEFA Champions League is firmly committed to restricting their team with intensive defense. Rarely, the game may not open and close, but a certain space will still appear without interruption. Only in the league, some opponents have completely cut off the idea of ??defeating Millwall. In the past many years, the facts have proved that the more Want to beat Millwall, but it is easier for Millwall to set a club Premier League defeat record, honestly fight for 1 point, or lose less and win, decent loss, bow to the real team, not many, Just to survive in the Premier League, unless the situation is clear as in the final stage of last season, there is no record pressure, and the difference between losing peace is not much, it is better to have the courage to pull the wrench with Millwall.


    "To tell you this, I hope you can add such considerations to your opponents. The preparations before the game, the direction is more targeted, just like our next round of Leicester City, if you Just dissecting Leicester City again, it doesn¡¯t make sense, because their regular starters will change at least two, weakening the offense to reinforce the defense, which can be foreseen without analysis."


    Aldrich said, Stella Maggioni quickly took out a notebook to record, he used to coach in the youth team, the youth team kind of place, the record requirements are not high, the purpose is different, the youth team, won 100 championships, It doesn''t make sense, but cultivating a genius is absolute success!


    The third-generation mad lion still has a long way to go. Aldrich is still very clear about the main content of this team building cycle.


    Training players, Alonso, De Rossi, Ram, Baines, Thiago Silva, Ronaldo, Kaka, Robben, Villa, this is the most important group of players to grow.


    In the team''s technical and tactical system, side storm is the core offensive, midfield control and defense, as well as organizational ability, rhythm control, is another focus.


    The successful team doesn''t change. In terms of Millwall''s performance last season, Millwall failed.


    To replicate the previous success, outsiders can easily exchange parts, but there are no two parts in the world. Millwall has a long way to go to create a new team that will impact the dynasty again.


    After the team returned to the East London bus and stopped, Aldridge stood up, looked at the excited players, and smiled: "You can be happy tonight, tomorrow morning, but tomorrow afternoon, Back on the team¡¯s training ground, let¡¯s discuss the two goals conceded today and some minor issues.¡±


    "Oh no, boss, why are you doing this too!"


    Ronaldinho wailed, and many old teammates, like Nedved, bowed their heads and smiled.


    Aldridge smiled bitterly: "Because we are not perfect yet, I need you to be perfect, you need to be impeccable, if you bother me like this, then strive to be perfect, I will naturally not talk about anything, very simple."


    Leaving a "very simple" theory, Aldridge bid farewell to the players and coaching staff colleagues, the team disbanded, and left the club one after another.


    When he returned home to open the door, Aldridge saw a mess in the living room, the children''s jerseys scattered all over the place, Aldridge was stunned, and saw Earl kneeling in front of Burt on one knee, Burt was proudly kicked Stepping on Earl''s thigh and raising his arm seemed to be showing off.


    Earl exclaimed: "Wrong, right foot! Not left foot, idiot, Henrik assisted Thierry with his right foot!"


    "Oh, sorry, I was wrong."


    Burt said that he immediately replaced his right foot and stepped on Earl''s thigh. Earl made a shoe shine for him. Then the two cheered and hugged, as if they had accomplished a remarkable feat.


    Aldridge somewhat understood why there were small jerseys scattered all over the living room. The two of them must be mimicking the behavior of Millwall players throwing jerseys to the stands after the game.


    "Hey, are you so naughty, are you afraid of being scolded?"


    The two little guys noticed Aldridge¡¯s return at this moment, and they burst into a smile. Burt jumped up in a volley posture and fell on the soft sofa, shouting to Aldridge: ¡°Dad, don¡¯t you think? It¡¯s so cool like Thierry¡¯s goal!"


    Earl corrected immediately: "Wrong, wrong, Thierry is forward, jumping a little, not in place, not in place!"


    Burt intends to do it again, and Ewen walks out of the kitchen.


    "Hi, welcome home, my goodness, you two, clean up the living room in 10 minutes, otherwise, dinner will not be yours!"


    The two children do need adults to occasionally criticize education severely.


    Burt picked up the jersey on the ground like a gust of wind and ran upstairs. Earl followed, shouting in fear, "Aunt Yiwen is angry and not beautiful, Bonnie must be in the future. Aunt Wen is beautiful, Burt, run quickly."


    Ewen was angry and smiling, complaining to Aldrich: "Ear is like a mischievous kid when you were a kid."


    Aldrich shrugged innocently and said, "Then you must say Burt is like me when I grew up."


    Ewen was speechless, and Aldridge walked over to hug her and kissed her softly, saying, "Is there anything I need to help?"


    Yiwen''s eyes rolled and smiled: "Help me go upstairs to see Bonnie, don''t let Earl feed her!"


    Aldrich saluted and said solemnly: "Observe the orders."


    I still remember that Earl secretly fed Bonnie with jam last month, and the children couldn''t grasp the measurement. As a result, Bonnie had diarrhea and almost scared Yiwen. If Earl voluntarily admitted, God knows how to go back. thing.


    Aldridge went upstairs and pushed open the bedroom door. Bonnie was under one year old, and her crib was in the bedroom of Aldridge and Ewen. At this time, what made him bear it was that Burt and Earl were in the living room. No more trouble, came to Bonnie and started the imitation show...

 Chapter 946： "Opposite"

    Millwall officially set sail for the new season.


    After winning in the first round at Stamford Bridge, they drew Leicester City and Blackburn at home and away respectively, and Aldridge''s concerns soon came to mind.


    Leicester City''s 0 field goal data, plus the last minute was sent off, tragic efforts, harvested a point that made them ecstatic.


    In the game of visiting Blackburn, Millwall drew Blackburn accurately.


    Due to playing the European Super Cup three days later, on the road, Aldridge boldly rotated. As a result, Boom Boom, Blackburn scored two goals in the first half, just tied the score in the second half and was led again by the other party until In the 87th minute, Ronaldo''s goal tied the score.


    Aldridge realized some bitterness of "blaming himself".


    Beginning last season, the Premier League team attacked Millwall. In the past, anti-anti-players used 4321. The effect is okay. This season, needless to say, they continue to use this set of roads. This tactic is designed by the national team. At the beginning, it was necessary to play the most efficient anti-reverse, and it was simple and rude, stealing the ball, counterattack, two or three players in the frontcourt simply passed, making full use of the air, efficient and decisive, the Premier League team learned to use it, and in turn dealt Millwall, especially this season''s Millwall, when they strengthened the offensive offense and the midfield defense was also rebuilding, they became the best target, Blackburn''s tough style of the game, counterattack It''s true that the threat of blood was clear at a glance.


    Millwall is paying the price of growth, hone De Rossi and Alonso, let them withstand all kinds of tests, it is inevitable that the unbearable game will happen, all this, Aldridge has psychological expectations.


    The technical and tactical changes of the third-generation mad lion have also attracted the attention of Fleet Street.


    A game is not representative, but if Aldridge will stick to a tracked tactic for three consecutive games, then it means that Millwall is undergoing obvious changes.


    David Miller vigorously "criticized" Aldridge''s apostasy on his writing.


    "Sir Hall has not only abandoned the English tradition of 442, but also swept up a 433 that swept Europe in England. Now, he has begun to build a disruptive 244 formation! Yes, I watched the recent Millwall game, if you On the spot, you will find that Millwall¡¯s formation is often arranged like this: 1 goalkeeper, 2 guards, 4 midfielders, 4 forwards. If you compare with the 433 on the starting screen, what is the change? ?Two full-backs! One top midfielder, one top striker, two full-backs will switch freely. This has changed in detail from Millwall''s previous 433. In the past, Millwall actually played It is a 334 formation, 3 defenders, 3 midfielders, 4 forwards. The change is defending with a full-back, and a full-back defends the midfielder. Nedved, originally a midfielder, is actually a shadow forward. Regardless of the changes in Millwall¡¯s main routine today, Sir Hall¡¯s courage is admirable. I think that if other England coaches dare to line up in this way, it will attract countless criticisms. If foreign coaches do this, they will When he succeeded, he was evaluated as a tactical genius, only Sir Hall. When he does this now, we will look forward to it: Will this form a new trend? But I need to remind Sir Hall that this 244, There is no problem with Nesta in the defender. If Nesta cannot face such a challenging task, then there will be no defender on the planet that can give Sir Hall confidence, but another defender, Southgate In particular, the great captain of England, who has been recorded in history, will celebrate his 33rd birthday next week."


    ...


    Aldridge led his team to Monaco, preparing to compete with AC Milan for the top of the European Cup and compete for the honor of the king of the cup.


    Originally, Millwall''s achievements last season had a huge gap compared to the previous season, and it was a good time for many opponents to laugh at and fall into the trap.


    But I didn''t think about it. The new season has only just begun. Millwall still appears in the team that attracts European attention!


    00, 01, 02, 03, this is Millwall''s fourth consecutive year in the European Super Cup!


    The previous three times as the Champions League champion, today as the UEFA Cup champion, the UEFA Cup certainly has nothing to show off, but it can be maddening, even if they are down, their exposure is still the focus of attention in Europe.


    ¡°It¡¯s exciting to play against Carlo, AC Milan won the Champions League last season and is able to play against the powerful AC Milan, which is what Millwall expects. We never fear strong enemies. The stronger the enemy, the more excited we are , There are reservations in the league, also for tomorrow''s game! We look forward to sending the most exciting game to fans all over the world, and then Millwall will take home the championship trophy."


    When Monaco attended the UEFA press conference, Audric opened the special rules in his opening words, complimenting his opponents, but the last sentence made the Italian journalists on the scene angry.


    After listening to the remarks of the young master of the handsome young man, everyone nodded frequently, and felt that the young master was going to play low-key, but in the end, he naturally said that he would go home with the championship trophy, and everyone didn''t react.


    You are the UEFA Cup champions, not the **** Champions League champions of the past few years!


    For Millwall''s Champions League group out last season, the media will render revenge, the first revenge target is AC Milan, who let AC Milan take the Champions League? The second revenge target is Barcelona, ??with two places in the group stage, and Barcelona also has one.


    Regarding this, Aldridge calmly shook his head and replied: "No, there is no hatred. If you say this, this account is difficult to calculate, because I seem to remember the history of Millwall vs. Barcelona and AC Milan. Millwall should have an absolute advantage. According to your theory, should Millwall vengeance? Or was he vengeance last season?"


    Interpreting Millwall from another perspective, they have a very strong advantage: the record of engagement with foreign teams!


    They will not be like a certain strong team, they will open the record of the game. Maybe they have had a "history of grievances" with anyone more than ten years ago. Millwall only officially started "diplomacy" in the era of Aldrich, so everyone can A foreign team that has caused them pain, to look through the history of these years, to sum up, Millwall is absolutely not qualified to mention the word "revenge"!


    Aldridge was also reluctant to put Millwall in a tragic and angry position following the trend of the media.


    He paid tribute to Ancelotti, and Ancelotti, who was proud of the spring breeze, also expressed respect and expectation to him.


    The two coaches who sat together in 1997 to talk about the superiority of the European war. After 6 years, they finally finally confronted each other in the green field to compete for a chicken championship...


    The following day, the Louis II Stadium in Monaco.


    Aldrich and Ancelotti met on the sidelines, the two did not shake hands, they hugged directly.


    When he coached Juventus, Ancelotti was the second-best player in the league. The European war was a terrible record, but in AC Milan, he ushered in the spring.


    After Aldridge embraced him, he smiled and asked, "Do you want to abuse me today?"


    Ancelotti laughed, his eyes shining brightly, and said, "You have 4 Champions Leagues, 5 European Super Cups, no, still 4, last year''s Klinsmann, you said, I want to win you ?"


    "What if I won? A European Super Cup is not a league champion or a Champions League champion, how? No more agreement? Let''s meet in Germany next May?"


    Ancelotti seemed to be frightened, quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I will never make such an agreement with anyone again, it''s unlucky!"


    After thinking about it for a moment, Aldridge suddenly realized, and he laughed: "Carlo, you are too disappointing me! How I hope that today is the Champions League final, that is interesting!"


    Ancelotti did not dare to agree with Aldridge. He really was not afraid of Millwall. Last season''s group stage pushed Millwall out of the game. He led AC Milan to finally win the throne. What is there to be afraid of?


    However, he felt that it was really unlucky to make such an agreement in advance and put it on him.


    At that time, he, Aldridge, Tigana, three agreed to enter the semi-finals of the Champions League, three young commanders pointing Jiangshan, how pretentious?


    The results of it?


    Aldridge and Tigana played the pinnacle in the Champions League semi-finals. His Palma, sorry, returned home after the group stage!


    Later, in 1999, he and Audridge agreed to see Nou Camp.


    Well, Mildridge of Aldridge is thin.


    The Juventus he led was originally in a good situation. He also lamented that Aldridge had missed the appointment, but the result was unimaginable. Manchester United came to the field to reverse, and Juventus was blocked from the final!


    Let Ancelotti make an appointment with Audridge again today. He dare not let him call AC Milan to defend the Champions League, but he will never agree with Audridge to meet AC Milan and Millwall next year. Arrogantly went to Schalke Stadium.


    "There is a chance, there is a chance, one day, we will have a good match in the Champions League final. Although I may not be able to do three consecutive Champions League championships like you, I believe I can surpass you in the number of Champions League wins!"


    Ancelotti said so.


    Aldridge spread his hands and grinned: "Originally, I will agree with you, but now the situation has changed, Karlo, you have no chance to do this! Because I am here, coach in Millwall The location."


    Ancelotti smiled slightly: "It''s because you are back, so it makes more sense if I have more champions than you! Aldrich, everyone says that contemporary football is your time, no no no no, I don¡¯t admit it!"


    "Ha ha ha ha, Karlo, that''s right! Take out all the abilities and see if you are crying to admit it, or if I am beaten by you like a funeral dog! Today, it''s time to warm up."


    Aldrich said nothing, and embraced with Ancelotti. The two patted each other''s backs, then released their hands at the same time, stepped back, gazed at each other for three seconds, turned to the coach seat, silent Smile.


    Before the game started, the two coaches were "opposite", not only them, but also the players on both sides of the player channel.


    When Ronaldinho set his sights on Pirlo and Gattuso, Gattuso couldn''t help but stared at Ronaldinho: "Look at me? I won''t admit that I got 5 Champions Leagues, you have to watch, Just look at him alone!"


    He shoved Pirlo and sold his good friend unexpectedly.


    Pirlo was still as elegant as before, and he smiled lightly at Millwall.


    "Fuck, Pavel, they still have 5 Super Cups. Do you have them? You only have 4, Haha, you only have 4."


    Ronaldinho whistled.


    Pirlo coughed softly and said lightly: "In two hours, I will have the fifth Super Cup trophy."


    "Ah! Who gave you confidence?"


    "I!"


    Gattuso stood up directly, staring at Ronaldinho "severely", and warned: "You''d better not be near the restricted area, otherwise, hehe."


    Ronaldinho looked away, not thinking: "Some people said the same last season, and they didn''t do it in the game."


    "I have 5 Champions Leagues!"


    "Grass, didn''t you not admit it just now? In 1998 and 2000, were you embarrassed to admit these two Champions Leagues? I am embarrassed to say that the 1998 Champions League has my share, right? Andrea?"


    Shevchenko smiled bitterly at the front of the team and looked at Ronaldinho. Without answering, Maldini, who was standing in front of him, seemed to want to show his teammates.


    Gattuso blushed old, and pushed Pirlo out again...

 Chapter 947： Cant admit fate!

    At this time, UEFA is well-known, and there are three teams that have opened a clear gap with other teams, Millwall, AC Milan and Real Madrid.


    Real Madrid''s Galaxy Battleship is famous all over the world, built up one by one by individual superstars.


    Millwall and AC Milan, there are also many superstars in the lineup, and there is also a competitive record to drive fame, AC Milan has a rich heritage, and Millwall is a super popular foundation laid for several consecutive years.


    So no matter who meets these three teams, it will cause exciting expectations.


    The European Super Cup is indeed tasteless, but today''s game has attracted more attention, the chase of the broadcaster of the game, and the prize money of the event has increased by 30% compared with last year. Even if the loser this year, it is almost the same as that of the champion last year.


    The coaches of the two sides stood on the sidelines, the players of both sides stepped into the stadium with bravery and enthusiasm, and the commentators passionately introduced the lineup of the two sides.


    "Last season Champions League champion AC Milan sent the strongest lineup today.


    Goalkeeper: Dida.


    Guards: Cafu, Costa Kuta, Maldini, Carazze.


    Midfielders: Seedorf, Gattuso, Pirlo, Rui Costa.


    Forwards: Inzaghi, Shevchenko.


    Last season UEFA Cup champion Millwall also sent their strongest lineup today.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Nesta, Southgate, Ashley Cole.


    Midfielders: De Rossi, Alonso, Nedved.


    Forwards: Larson, Henry, Ronaldinho.


    There is no doubt that this is a pinnacle of stars! It is a game that will be called a legend duel after more than ten years! The head coaches of the two teams did not disappoint fans from all over the world. They did not despise the European Super Cup. We hope that in the game, both sides will not be conservative and devote an open and passionate football feast to the fans as much as possible! "


    If Aldridge can hear the commentator''s commentary, he will laugh.


    Why wait ten years?


    Please!


    AC Milan is perfect for everything, except that one flaw is that human power cannot be reversed: age!


    Cafu was 33.


    Maldini was 35.


    Costa Kuta is 37.


    In the back line, only Karaze was 25 years old.


    In this comparison, the three pillars of Millwall, Southgate, Larson, and Nedved are just in their early 30s. The oldest Southgate is 33 years old a week, which is nothing wrong. .


    And the more a world-class player who enters the legend, as long as it is not a sudden fall, it is easy for people to ignore his age, which is the case with Maldini. 99% of the time, you will ignore his age, and never think of it again. In two or three years, he is still fighting in the top European stadium, which is definitely a respectable legend!


    Of course, it also has something to do with his position and AC Milan''s future team-building strategy. Change to a midfielder or striker. I want to be 40 years old and still have a place on the European Championship. There is a place on the Champions League stage. Isn''t his mother dreaming?


    Galliani in the VIP box, his eyes have been spinning on a player in the Millwall formation.


    Nesta!


    Seeing Nesta wearing a Millwall jersey, Galliani sighed.


    If Millwall didn''t stir up last year, he wouldn''t have to have a headache for the team''s back line now. Lawson, Pancaro on the bench, which makes people feel unreliable?


    The battle curtain opened on the court. After Henry kicked off, the atmosphere inside the stadium was extremely hot. Not only did the fans of both sides wave their flags, but many French fans in Monaco also came to the scene to cheer for their favorite teams or players.


    In this Super Cup, Aldridge said that it was really tasteless. In fact, it is really tasteless. He will not die with AC Milan for the championship trophy. What he cares about is that AC Milan is such a strong opponent. It is a very good whetstone!


    The most important thing is to hone the defense. On the offensive side, just as they face Chelsea, as long as the game is open and not dull and defensive, Millwall will not encounter much difficulty at least on the offensive end.


    The back line with an average age of more than 33 years old, if it is an ordinary shock, it must be difficult to shake. After all, Costa Kuta and Maldini, but witnesses and participants of the AC Milan dynasty, experience is old, Cafu is not soft Persimmon, old and strong.


    Since Millwall is a representative of offensive football, it is destined that their offense is unique, as long as the opponent is not a bus, giving them space to allow them to use the space to combine the team, Aldridge believes that it is invincible.


    At the beginning of the game, Millwall had not yet exerted his strength. He first played two tentative attacks, one long shot from Nedved, and the other was when Henry was intercepted by Maldini at the moment of receiving the ball in the penalty area and returned without success. .


    AC Milan is relying on strong midfield control to want to destroy Millwall like a cocoon.


    When Millwall does not fully invest in the offensive force, they will not give their opponents obvious offensive space. The position war defense is not a problem. Millwall has little problem. Although the double backs are still growing, they can add Nedved¡¯s The retracement, after all, improved the fault tolerance rate.


    Five minutes after the game, Millwall''s offensive broke out!


    Ronaldinho and Larson''s offensive starting position has retreated a bit more than in the league. This is an active change made by Aldridge after encountering two consecutive draws in the league. Compared with the former and back, Pirlo has perfect scheduling, and now It requires the team to take the initiative to create an offensive space. The winger is in front, which is equivalent to self-compressing the space. After retreating, the ball is pretended to be an offense. After the full-backs also come up, they are all in three ways!


    Millwall''s offensive routine on the sidelines this season happened to be a surprise to AC Milan, especially Gattuso who couldn''t run away!


    Pirlo''s defense is not reliable. He wants to escort. Most of the time, he has to sit in the middle of the road. Now that Nedved is watching, he can''t easily go to the side defense, and Seedorf, Rui Costa, defend. The ability is really limited, Millwall is the main sidewalk, which makes Gattuso uncomfortable, and what he can''t think of is: Millwall will not go back on the sidewalk!


    In the 6th minute, Schneider made a two-on-one with Nedved before crossing the center line. After rushing through Rui Costa''s defense, Gattuso and Pirlo were alert to Nedved''s running position. Waiting for Nedved Middle Road to meet the border and infiltrate.


    However, Schneider and Larson kept moving at a distance of about five meters all the way forward. In front of Karaze, a two-to-one staggered running position came. Schneider came to the right of the penalty area and Gattuso asked this It''s too late to help defense, it''s late!


    Schneider made a half-footed pass and the outer arc bypassed the back of the defender. The pass was behind the defender, in front of the goalkeeper, just in the middle of the area, Dida did not dare to attack, he could only watch the ball fly to the penalty area Later, he moved over to save.


    Costa Kuta believes that he has stared at Ronaldinho, and will not give Ronaldinho a chance to grab a spot, but what makes him incredible is that behind Ronaldinho, a figure rushed out and ran at the top corner of the left side of the penalty area. Let''s go!


    Ashley Cole hit the ball with a kick, he kicked!


    However, the ball rebounded from the ground and rebounded or flew into the goal of AC Milan. Dida wanted to cry without tears. He flew to save, and the height was similar to Ashley Cole¡¯s kicking position. If the opponent¡¯s shooting is superb, this The ball pushed a half-height, and Dida had an 80% chance of successful save, but it was kicked. After the ball bounced, it just bounced into the goal from above Dida''s body!


    "Millwall is the first to grab people! Unbelievable, it was Schneider who assisted Ashley Cole! The full-back helped the full-back!"


    Ancelotti''s eyes were straight.


    This, this, this!


    Aldrich, are you teasing me or are you really dead?


    The full-back assists the full-back and breaks the goal, and is still a 3-forward. Are you going to be the second Bielsa?


    Don¡¯t attack or die?


    Turning his head to look at Aldridge, the young commander applauded calmly.


    Ancelotti loosened his tie and looked cold.


    He is a good guy and basically does not blame the players on the court. Even when Juventus is very useless, he always gives people a look of being depressed. So as long as he puts his face up, he expresses dissatisfaction and needs players. cheer up!


    Cafu just thought that Ronaldinho was staring to death, basically there was no threat, but he did not expect Ashley Cole to enter the restricted area, which was unexpected.


    This AC Milan has both the legacy of the previous dynasty and the baptism of the Champions League last season. It will not be stunned by a goal.


    They control the ball more patiently and control the game safely, but the situation is similar to when they met Millwall in the Champions League last season.


    Really playing a positional battle, AC Milan may not be able to occupy a particularly large advantage.


    Millwall seized the opportunity and rushed from both wings, striking forward desperately, pushing the attack directly from the sideline to the opponent''s restricted area parallel position, and then slightly cooperated to turn into the restricted area to create a threat.


    With the lesson of losing the ball, AC Milan, a group of sophisticated guys, will not be easily penetrated by Millwall.


    Instead, Pirlo figured out Millwall''s attitude today, and did not play the trick of boiling frogs with Seadorf Rui Costa, thinking of consuming Millwall little by little, which is not realistic.


    Now that Millwall is hitting the ground and the storms are vivid and colorful, they will follow the trend. The attack and defense conversion rhythm is poor. AC Milan has three master midfielders who can launch deadly attacks from a distance. Pirlo, Seedorf, and Lu Icosta.


    They hadn''t thought about playing like this, but Millwall''s crazy side attack made their backcourt more obvious. If AC Milan organized the attack slowly, wouldn''t this let God''s opportunity slip away?


    In the 16th minute, Costa Kuta blocked the penetration of Ashley Cole''s sleeve and gave Ronaldinho a direct ball. Pirlo led the ball and turned. When he looked up, he passed the ball straight. It was given to Rui Costa, who had just passed forward halfway, and the latter was even better. The ball was stopped, observed, and the ball was completed in 1 second.


    The ball penetrated between Alonso and De Rossi, and then rolled directly to the left side of Southgate. Southgate could not form an interception of the ball. Rui Costa''s master-level penetration Straight plug is simply amazing, Shevchenko touches the ball from the outside and cuts into the penalty area. Southgate thought that the other side would really cut in, so he focused on the inward, unexpectedly Shevchenko made a sudden A change of direction, obviously has entered the restricted area, but dribble the ball towards the bottom line!


    The Ukrainian nuclear warhead threw away Southgate, but his shooting angle was already very small, and he thought he would pass it to Inzaghi, but he just beat himself!


    The powerful shot hit Bout, yes, Bout blocked the corner of the goal, the ball, hitting the goal range, flew towards Bout.


    But this ball is too fast!


    It really seemed that the nuclear warhead exploded, and the distance was close. Butt subconsciously blocked the ball. I saw the ball bounced inside the penalty area. Nesta had originally stared at Inzaghi, but Shevchenko shot. Distracted, attention to the result of this foot shot, so Inzaghi flashed empty.


    God knows what happened to Inzaghi, he seemed to be able to foresee the future, and the empty position appeared, which happened to be the place where the ball bounced off. I saw Inzaghi''s toes hit the ball, the ball refracted and flew back to the door of Millwall , Bute was powerless.


    "AC Milan quickly equalized the score! From the success of AC Milan''s defense, Pirlo attacked in the backcourt, Rui Costa made a good pass through Millwall''s midfield, Shevchenko turned away from Southgate. Shooting, it was lightning fast. Inzaghi''s supplementary shot did not make AC Milan lose their efforts this time. They took the posture of the European championship and quickly returned to Millwall!"


    Ancelotti shouted with both hands clenching his arms, and Audric gestured to De Rossi and Alonso in the field, meaning that the defense of the opponent''s pass line should be blocked as far as possible.


    However, Aldridge feels far-fetched. Millwall''s offensive system has a decent defense in the backcourt. The opponent''s forward moves are flexible, and there are passers who are penetrated. It is reasonable, but for players, it should always be. If you have higher requirements, you can''t admit your fate!

 Chapter 948： Ping pong, be burst!

    Millwall''s goal drop also made Millwall''s defense players look at AC Milan''s offensive routine changes.


    Before David Miller''s warning to Millwall''s new system, he particularly emphasized that Southgate would be 33 years old. What he said was unspoken: Southgate''s defensive area will decline!


    As I get older, the explosive power declines. This is impossible. Even if I have experience, I can only concentrate on one key area.


    For example, if Shevchenko walked inside, Southgate could block him, but Shevchenko suddenly turned to go outside. This brief explosive contrast, Southgate could not keep up, both inside and outside He can only seal a little. The outside line should have been the full-back. However, Millwall¡¯s wing storm caused Ashley Cole to fail to return to the position, which was also seen by AC Milan¡¯s master midfielder. At this point, the attack was deliberately fast, not to delay Millwall''s attack time.


    After all, it is the same as Chelsea found the correct offensive routine in the second half of the second half. The difference is that AC Milan does not rely on the dribble. The pass of more than 30 meters is incredible. Also hide the spicy!


    Nesta discussed with Southgate, and then Southgate said to De Rossi before the kick-off: "Being counterattacked, you close the center and cut the defender!"


    Role switching, which is common in Millwalls, whether it is the exchange of wingers and centers, the exchange of midfield roles, or the task of defender assistance, is actually a role switch. Such a switch is not a new thing. The third time In the tactical revolution in the altar, Michels¡¯s full attack and defense has pushed the concept of football tactics to the limit, and the latter can hardly surpass, as he said: in a perfect state, I have 10 guards, 10 There are 10 forwards in the midfield, which requires the 10 players who originally excluded the goalkeeper to be able to switch back and forth between the defender, midfielder and forward.


    It is common for defensive midfielders to withdraw from the penalty area for a short time as a central defender.


    The countermeasures envisioned by Nesta and Southgate are clear at a glance.


    AC Milan counterattacked. As long as there are three defenders on the line, Nesta, De Rossi, Southgate, and three people against Inzaghi and Shevchenko enter the restricted area, the defense protection is much higher.


    This kind of countermeasure will not appear out of thin air, but will be a chain reaction that tactically triggers the whole body. When the third-generation mad lion''s main tactics formally enters the pace of revolution, it must inevitably make corresponding suggestions to deal with the problems that arise Demolition is also a necessary process to enhance experience.


    The two experienced defenders have just found out that Millwall''s midfielder is virtually useless.


    De Rossi and Alonso themselves stand in the lower back position, it is necessary to provide a layer of protection for the back line, the defensive focus is to contain the opponent''s advancement.


    However, think about it in reverse, AC Milan is advancing in the middle, the speed will not be fast!


    AC Milan is the simplest interpretation of the football field: Passing is faster than dribbling!


    Pirlo, Seedorf, Rui Costa.


    These three people, with the ball, the speed of dribbling is definitely not fast!


    Therefore, when playing Chelsea, Duff''s dribbling is a great threat. However, if Sidov takes the ball forward, it should not be feared by Millwall, because he runs the ball for 30 meters. Nedved, Shi Ned, Ashley Cole, must have returned to the defensive position!


    AC Milan knows this, of course, so they deliberately play fast, using direct pass penetration!


    Duff, GoodJohnson couldn''t pass a scalpel-like straight, even if Belon had the ability, but as long as Millwall stared at Belon, his threat of shooting was not great.


    But the same defensive strategy cannot be applied to AC Milan.


    Pirlo, Seedorf, Rui Costa, at most 2 people are dead, always miss one, and then, the one that is missed, because of your defensive effort to mark, it will be easier for a good pass to penetrate the whole article. Line of defense.


    So he simply gave up the backline, leaving Alonso alone, and let De Rossi directly withdraw to the center defender in the penalty area.


    If AC Milan is a short pass forward, Alonso doesn¡¯t need to grab it. Their speed of running is definitely not as fast as Millwall¡¯s frontcourt and full-back, and there is only the threat of passing. Millwall was the most feared.


    After the self-adjustment of the Millwall defense, they re-opened the ball and started to strike AC Milan again!


    Ashley Cole sets the bottom and passes the ball across the middle of the ribs in deep space. Ronaldinho gets the ball here. Costa Kuta defends him in front. Ronaldinho makes a fake move from the right to the outside. According to Takuta, this is a very easy to foresee!


    Why?


    Ronaldinho is on the bottom line, should he still have the ball to the bottom line? As long as he pulls the neutral gear to the right, he can shoot at a small angle!


    As a result, the elderly Costa Kuta moved his body''s center of gravity, trying to block Ronaldinho''s route to the outside.


    What a brazilian elf, not only deceived Costa Kuta, but also stupidly looked at the entire line of defense in AC Milan!


    He was a fake shake, and he firmly smashed the ball towards the bottom line. He was less than half a meter away from the bottom line. Ronaldinho was half of the body outside the bottom line to wipe Costa Kuta, but it seemed to stick to The ball at his feet pressed against the bottom of the line!


    The referee didn''t raise the flag to indicate that he was out of bounds. Luo Yiyi dared and unexpectedly wiped Costa Kuta. After passing the opponent, he took another step outside, pulled out the shot angle, and shot low Heavy shelling!


    boom!


    The ball hit the goalpost firmly and flew out!


    The audience exclaimed, immediately applause.


    Ronaldinho gritted his teeth and showed his unwillingness.


    AC Milan escaped, and the ball that was ejected was obtained by Gattuso, who did not dare to pass Pirlo, because when Nedvide retreated from the defense, Pirlo''s space for the ball was hidden.


    Gattuso passed the ball to Rui Costa on the left front of Nedved.


    Millwall had just failed to attack, and the audience in the stands was still sighing with praise and aftertaste. Unexpectedly, another wonderful picture was born again!


    Rui Costa once again performed a pass stunt with a 50-yard pass!


    De Rossi withdrew from the penalty area, parallel to the defender, acting as a central defender!


    Alonso, who was solitary in the backline, did not choose to block the pass of Rui Costa to Inzaghi or Shevchenko, and he was even more afraid of the connection between Rui Costa and Seedorf. Obviously, it is impossible to cover the entire horizontal defense line alone.


    Rui Costa''s pass was from a ten-meter position on the right side of Alonso. The speed was very fast. When Alonso turned to make a defense, it happened to see Inzaghi and Shevchenko running. With the tacit cooperation on the game, Inzaghi was clearly closer to the ball and should be answered by him, but Inzaghi deliberately ran away to do an ambush attack, as if waiting for someone to send the ball to his feet so that he could directly Forming a shot, Inzaghi itself is not a fulcrum center.


    Shevchenko, who was far away, ran to answer, cut into the middle, and killed Alonso behind, facing the Millwall guard line.


    The two world-class strikers cooperated in such a running position, which disrupted the Millwall defender line for the first time. When Shevchenko received the ball in the middle, the person he was facing was De Rossi!


    The Ukrainian nuclear warhead broke the table today, and the stoppage seemed to slow down the rhythm, and it also caused De Rossi''s rhythm to stop. Then Shevchenko broke out again, accelerating slightly and rushing past De Rossi''s body. !


    His breakthrough line is the best choice!


    Going here is homeopathic, which is more conducive to outbreaks. At the same time, Inzaghi has pinned Nesta on the other side, and on the other side, Southgate can try his best to stop him!


    De Rossi paused and started again. It was a fool''s dream to intercept Shevchenko. In the face of the world-class striker''s 0.1 second rhythm change, he didn''t keep up with it at the first time, so he had no chance to keep up!


    Shevchenko entered the penalty area, although it did not seem to completely derogate De Rossi, but he already had the space to shoot, a long corner of the ball was shot from under his feet, the ball hit a dead end, straight Flying to the side net inside the goal, Bout flew to the end and failed to stop the ball. Absolutely good!


    "AC Milan completed the reversal in 2 minutes! Rui Costa''s unbelievable performance, Shevchenko''s pleasing fatal blow! During the game, the scene was really ups and downs, AC Milan just equalized the score, Millwall Ronaldinho almost exceeded the score again, but unfortunately his shot after Costa Kuta was rejected by the goal post, turned his head, AC Milan staged a reversal! The game, less than 20 minutes, also What will happen in less than 20 minutes?"


    Shevchenko''s goal pushed the atmosphere to a new climax!


    All the spectators at the Louis II Stadium were stunned. The fans of the Lions were incredible. How many years have they not played table tennis?


    Milan fans were ecstatic, even members of the Monaco royal family were dumbfounded, and then were infected by the atmosphere of the stadium, applauding excitedly for the players on the court.


    Ancelotti''s face glowed with red light, and his excited smile covered his ambition very well. He deliberately and secretly glanced at Aldridge next door. When he saw the young man''s calm expression in contemplation, he secretly said: Aldridge, today this Field warm-up, I will not be merciless!


    Aldridge feels that he has made a mistake. How can I say that once the sea has been difficult, in the past many years, he has top players in the midfield, especially defensive ability.


    Makelele, Gattuso, let them make the most correct judgment when they are the most dangerous, block the opponent''s pass line, and delay the opponent''s offense in a change of direction. This is what Aldridge has always asked of the players.


    How can this be delayed?


    Quite simply, if you can predict which teammate your opponent intends to pass the threat to, you are stuck in the correct line, then the opponent will either try to pass the ball with a low success rate, or will reject the pass intention , And then look for the passing point of other teammates, then, this process, invisible, naturally consumes time.


    However, De Rossi and Alonso have not yet reached the heights of Makelele and Gattuso. This height refers to defensive awareness or the old question: experience!


    De Rossi''s retracement was obviously correct, but he mistakenly estimated De Rossi''s ability to defend one-on-one.


    Not that he is too weak now, but he is facing the world-class forward Ukrainian nuclear warhead Shevchenko!


    I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s bad luck. AC Milan¡¯s two world-class forwards, Inzaghi and Shevchenko, are not column center with weak running ability. Shooter, one ability is more comprehensive, the two people combined together, the most suitable for them to play, they also need space!


    Two defenders will definitely be exploded, plus a De Rossi retracement, also proved to be a bit ugly.


    Aldridge made a big wave, and he didn''t want to intercept the midfield defense. Alonso also retreated the first time. The opponent''s forward needed space, and Millwall compressed the space in the penalty area!

 Chapter 949： Feng Wang Zhenghui

    A tasteless European Super Cup, but every minute to Millwall''s newcomer thought shock and spiritual baptism.


    De Rossi and Alonso originally thought they deserved their place this season, and the performance in the league was okay. Even if they lost three goals after playing the Blackburn game, they could find a reason to comfort themselves: team rotation However, the quality of Millwall''s offense has declined, and the role of offense instead of defense has been weakened.


    But in this game, facing AC Milan, they knew how ridiculous their thoughts were.


    Mo said how far away from the world-class, they did not even have a first-class position!


    Throwing two goals in a row has aroused their vigorous fighting spirit and forced them to calmly face what is happening!


    There is no time to be annoyed and frustrated. If you are immersed in negative emotions and get out of control, the game will be over. Maybe Millwall lost a tasteless champion, but maybe they will undergo earth-shaking changes in the future of the team.


    When AC Milan tried to reapply the old tricks and then used a long direct pass to blast Millwall''s defense, they found that the previous set would not work.


    Nesta, Southgate, De Rossi, Alonso, if the four defenses and two can''t resist, then Millwall simply surrendered.


    Facts have proved that Aldridge''s decision is correct.


    Interception of the waistline after discarding.


    Because it''s useless!


    Who keeps the waistline at the waistline?


    If Pirlo can get the ball from the midfield and backcourt, Nedved, Schneider, Ashley Cole, is it still not in place?


    Seedorf, even though the starting position is a bit higher, they do not step into the front line. Their threat is ultimately a pass, not a one-on-one breakthrough. Millwall still did not intercept the target.


    Since there is no object to intercept, why do you have to keep a lower back there?


    If AC Milan turns to the No. 10 midfielder and advances, they are not fast!


    If Pirlo can come up, Nedved must be able to retreat to the lower backline. If Seedorf and Rui Costa can advance to the front waistline, Millwall¡¯s two full-backs must also be able to retreat. Before the restricted area.


    The two sides are on the offensive, AC Milan''s experienced defensive line has no longer given Millwall the opportunity to swept through the sidewalk storm. Millwall adjusted the defensive strategy here, and later the waistline was withdrawn from the back line to compensate, destroying AC Milan. Want to wear Yang''s wishful thinking again.


    Ancelotti looked at Millwall''s embarrassed or chaotic defender line defense at that time, secretly thinking about it, and suddenly thought: This is actually a 3 guard!


    3 guards plus a lower back, the first time to defend the counter-attack strategy, if AC Milan can not play the speed, Millwall''s midfielder retreat, you can gradually adjust to a 4 guard 2 back defensive formation.


    Don''t look at the score lead, Ancelotti still admires Aldridge.


    This young coach is notorious for not playing cards according to common sense. If Millwall is a Serie A team, I am afraid the face of the Italian media will be beaten and swollen.


    Why?


    Over the years, it has been emphasized that when meeting Millwall, don''t play 3 guards, don''t stop 3 guards, it is to find death.


    Instead, Millwall''s weakest link, the most dangerous moment, is the defensive posture of the 3-guard.


    Ancelotti looked at De Rossi thoughtfully, then at Gattuso.


    Aldrich employs people, it really varies from person to person!


    De Rossi can take care of the defender line and can switch to the role of defender freely. His body and technical characteristics look good, and his height is not bad. However, Gattuso can¡¯t, and Gattuso¡¯s height is a natural disadvantage. Therefore, De Rossi It is not the succession of Gattuso, although the position looks the same, but in the use of players, Aldridge will still re-design the changes in the tactical system according to the characteristics of the players.


    The score leads, Ancelotti''s mentality is inevitably a bit comfortable, but also can think about these things.


    And the Millwall generals on the field, do not want to be easily defeated by AC Milan!


    The sidewalk storm is just a foundation, it is a very simple routine. It is the philosophy of Millwall offensive football to breed more changes on a simple basis.


    In the 34th minute, from 4 minutes ago, Henry swapped with Larson. Larson topped the center position. Henry pulled the edge. The first attack did not receive a good effect. Larson was also trying to Maltini intercepted the attack in the penalty area.


    AC Milan did not realize that this change was just the first step.


    When Schneider and Henry passed the midfield on the right, Henry suddenly passed the ball back to Alonso, who kicked the ball and the offensive shifted to the left!


    Ronaldinho got the ball, Ashley Cole quickly cut into the ribs of the penalty area, looking like he was trying to beat his opponent by surprise.


    When Ronaldinho passed Pirlo, Gattuso used to use his habit. When Pirlo moved the human wall, he suddenly grabbed behind. However, he probably forgot that Ronaldinho has been in a team training match in the team for many years. At that time, the opponent has Gattuso!


    Of course he knew when Gattuso would appear, so when he passed Pirlo, he drew the ball to the outside, making Gattuso steal the distance and gave Ronaldinho more time to do the next one. deal with.


    Passing Pirlo is very simple for Ronaldinho. A change of direction acceleration is basically thrown away. He has extra energy to observe Gattuso''s movement. When he saw Gattuso moving here, Ronaldinho''s mouth accidentally cornered Hook up a subtle arc.


    Gattuso was confident to intercept Ronaldinho. He also thought that he was familiar with Ronaldinho. He thought Ronaldinho would cut to the middle after passing Pirlo and then proceed to the next step.


    But when he left the middle of the road and ran towards Ronaldinho, he was surprised to find that Ronaldinho took a step closer to the outside, and he suddenly lost his heart, and an ominous hunch appeared in the heart without warning, and then turned into a chill swept across the body.


    Ronaldinho crossed the ball in the middle, from behind Pirlo and in front of Gattuso, both of them were out of reach!


    Although it can''t be compared with Rui Costa''s 50-yard delicate pass, the effect is the same, the two can only watch, but can''t intercept.


    Gattuso stopped the brakes and thought of it before turning his head back: Nedved!


    Sure enough!


    Crazy lion war **** wind rushed up, just arrived, while receiving the ball, Millwall''s attack on this attack was exposed!


    Ashley Cole from the left wing was caught between Cafu and Costa Kuta in the penalty area. Center Larson was between Costa Kuta and Maldini. At this time, Larson broke out and started forward. Since Costa Kuta was the first to be alert to Ashley Cole, Maldini was more attentive to Larson¡¯s marking. When Maldini¡¯s focus moved to Larsson, he was wary of Nedved When Wilson came straight, Nedved''s shot made all the defensive players of AC Milan frightened.


    Cafu, Costa Kuta, Maldini, the three of them defended the two, and Maldini moved to the middle, also to take into account the route of Nedved forward, but on the left of Maldini, he The space between Karaze suddenly appeared!


    Perhaps this emptiness will not exist for more than 2 seconds, because Karaze will voluntarily shrink.


    However, before they adjusted, Nedvide played the ball, just in that empty place, a figure of green wind and electric wind rushed into the sky like a long rainbow!


    Henry!


    Unstoppable Henry at the moment of cutting into the penalty area, Nedved''s pass came as scheduled, the fast-moving Henry''s perfect lead movement forward, when Maldini turned around, Henry only let him I saw a back profile!


    He went directly to the small penalty area without losing his speed. When Dida rushed to open his arms to expand the defensive area, he saw that Henry didn''t seem to swing his legs and saw no shots. The ball was gently pushed into the goal by his toes angle!


    "Henry! Henry equalized the score for Millwall! 2:2, this is another wonderful goal! Millwall passed the continuous and rapid pass and cut, Ronaldinho was in the middle to break through and attract. Defensive as the biggest pinch point to create empty space in the middle, let Nedved comfortable to take the ball, and calmly and accurately sent a good pass, the attacking point is Henry, he passed the ball to the Arab in the right midfield Lonso, in the end, he entered the penalty area and played the role of the Terminator. Looking back at the goal process, we can see how good Henry¡¯s running position and team consciousness are! Inzaghi and Shevchenko scored separately , Millwall''s forward Henry also scored!"


    Henry did not run to celebrate, which disappointed the fans on the spot.


    Perhaps this stems from Millwall''s unwritten tradition.


    Do not lead, do not celebrate!


    At other times, they will take the time to let the opponent kick off and re-enter the game.


    But today''s game is quite tasteless, so everyone just didn''t celebrate and slowly walked into the backcourt.


    On the way back, Henry celebrated with Larson, Nedvide, Ronaldinho and other teammates. They raised their arms above their heads and clapped their hands. They were also firmly locked by the live broadcast.


    It seems that they don''t feel that they have achieved a wonderful goal achievement, as if they were as relaxed and confident as training.


    Gattuso is very depressed. Few teams can make him so embarrassed. His cooperation with Pirlo can basically limit 90% of opponents'' midfield attacks, but the remaining 10% is the top team in UEFA. By the way, Rui Costa and Seedorf''s contribution to the defense, or the defensive pressure on the opponent at a critical moment, can''t really count on it.


    Ancelotti''s expression became extremely serious again.


    AC Milan directly mobilized counterattacks from a long distance. The offensive routine relying on accurate long-range passes was destroyed by Millwall''s advantage of compressing the back line of the defender. The middle road tried to advance with a short pass, but these 10 players did not have the speed Prominently, the opponent''s defensive players return quickly without the ball. AC Milan needs to use other methods to deal with Millwall.


    Aldrich did not admit his fate, how could Ancelotti?


    Moreover, AC Milan has not really started to take risks on the offensive end.


    The score was equalized and Ancelotti began to prepare for a dangerous move tit-for-tat!

 Chapter 950： Geniuses

    Ancelotti is certainly not an immutable coach, but he is more cautious about on-the-spot command. Compared with the usual 70 minutes, he will make active changes according to the situation on the court. Today, he decided to take a risk: halftime!


    After all, it is now a 2:2 draw.


    Millwall''s wing storm suppressed AC Milan''s wing offense and was unable to move, and before the end of the first half, Millwall occupied more advantages because the test of their guard line was getting smaller and smaller, because AC Milan seems to be caught in the "how to attack" tangled.


    Countering that best moment, Millwall was out of touch with the front and back, but AC Milan had no speed advantage other than passing, allowing Seedorf and Rui Costa to rush up. Their speed, but also It really couldn''t beat Nedved, Schneider, Ashley Cole.


    I want to play directly from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and it is to walk the ground, not to rush, this set was successfully limited by Millwall.


    AC Milan can''t rush to hang, there is not even a bridgehead, want to create confusion, this is not contempt of Nesta and Southgate''s ability to judge the ball landing point?


    Millwall ignored them and continued to attack, giving the opponent pressure on the wing.


    In the 43rd minute, Ashley Cole drew the ball along the wing. When facing great defensive pressure, he steadily passed the ball back to Alonso, who honestly did the organization and scheduling Work, passing the ball to Schneider on the other side.


    Ashley Cole did not stay in place or retreat after passing the ball. Schneider continued on the other side along the sidewalk until he came to the defender line and attracted Karaze Defensively, Schneider passed the ball to Henry in an orderly manner.


    Henry still did not change the position with Larson. After taking the ball this time, he rushed into the ribs between Maldini and Karaze. However, he drew the ball to the front of the big penalty area and suddenly stopped. Gattuso is ready to intercept or reposition at the top of the arc in the penalty area.


    Henry passed the ball back to Nedved, who was pressed up 3 meters in front of Gattuso.


    As soon as he passed, Gattuso''s attention turned to Nedved.


    But Nedved didn''t stop the ball at all. He kicked the ball and kicked it back to Henry. Gattuso shifted his focus again. Henry still kicked the ball. This time the goal was to go to the middle.


    Larson pulled it out and was less than two meters behind Gattuso. Such a risky pass. If Gattuso was not distracted back and forth, he would definitely be able to intercept the first time, but now, he went to intercept , But half a step away, Larson took the lead and gently returned the ball to the left rear side.


    Gattuso didn''t look back, only to hear a thunderous thud in his ear.


    boom!


    This is someone volley!


    It is a huge noise from the contact between the foot and the ball!


    Gattuso made a circle around the spot and didn''t see what was going on. I saw that the stands of the Louis II Stadium boiled again, and the noise was loud!


    "Ronaldinho made a long shot! The world wave opened Dida''s ten fingers! Millwall reversed AC Milan! Millwall actually completed a delicate and smooth small-range cooperation in front of the AC Milan penalty area. Sen made the ball comfortable for Ronaldinho and sent a wonderful assist. Ronaldinho''s long shot does not match his style of play, more like a long shot from Nedved , Hahaha."


    After Ronaldinho completed the long-range shot, he ran his head to the side of the court in a gesture of "six" with his hands, and jumped up to Samba, making every Millwall happy at this moment.


    Gattuso was a sign of collapse, and he lost his temper to his teammates.


    He just seemed to be playing around as a monkey!


    Henry, Nedved, Henry, Larson, Ronaldinho.


    Four-foot pass, Boom Boom Boom Boom, BOOM!


    He turned a circle on the spot, and whenever he was determined to intercept, he would hesitate because the opponent kicked the ball, and finally let Ronaldinho suddenly come inward and follow the Larsson''s ball to complete the world outside the penalty area. Wave shot!


    AC Milan''s defender didn''t dare to move!


    Henry, Larson, and Ashley Cole on the other side are like three sharp knives in the gap between the four guards. Anyone who moves forward will not be able to complete the closing defense!


    In the lower back, Gattuso is bound to struggle against Nedved. Alone, Pirlo was actively involved in defending Nedved. Unfortunately, Nedved did not stick to the ball. Pirlo did not defend firmly. Form a substantial defense.


    Ronaldinho''s shock, although Seedorf realized it, wanted to keep up.


    This time, Millwall¡¯s former magic attack group played AC Milan¡¯s defense line in the middle, derived from their experience. After many years of fighting in the South and following the Aldridge for so long, they are more able to understand Aldridge than other teammates. The essence of this new tactical system.


    In the side wing storm, the biggest effect is two points. First, the winger or full-back changes the inward cut. Second, the full-back assists to form the pressure to tear the opposing defender''s lateral defense width!


    For example, if Ashley Cole did not come up and did not appear on the route that Ronaldinho would cut into the restricted area, then AC Milan''s defender line can either divide troops to support the waistline or shrink the restricted area to further reduce the defense line. Probability.


    However, Millwall''s sideline was pushed up, forming a threat point, forcing the opponent''s defense line to be crowded or actively shrinking, then the middle attack can form a number advantage.


    This set of offensive systems is exactly the same!


    The winger was inwardly surprised.


    After enough pressure is applied by the striker, the middle road can accumulate the advantage of the number of people and become the right soldier, and crush the opponent with a flat push!


    Ancelotti''s expression became depressed and cold again.


    Aldrich actually looks at the change in Ang Fat''s expression. Think about half an hour ago, Ang Fat was glowing red, and at the moment it was frosty. While applauding Ronaldinho''s goal, he bowed his head and laughed.


    In fact, in the final analysis, Millwall could not resist the penetration of a few No. 10 scalpels. AC Milan wanted to rely on Gattuso and Pirlo defended by half-hanger to limit Millwall''s mid-level flat push, which is also unlikely.


    The only difference is that if Millwall doesn¡¯t put enough pressure on the opponent¡¯s wing and tears the opponent¡¯s full back line to deter the opponent, then old monsters like Maldini, Costa Kuta and Cafu will surely be on top of Gattuso Come and support when you can''t live.


    Leading, being reversed, anti-reversal.


    At the end of the first half, Millwall walked into the locker room with a score of 3:2.


    Interestingly, the two midfield players of both teams went into the player''s channel with black faces.


    De Rossi was exploded by Shevchenko, and Gattuso was also quickly collapsed.


    The back of the giants, life is bitter.


    Fans who watched the game felt very enjoyable, hoping that the two rich teams would not counsel in the second half and continue this unrestrained game.


    After the halftime break, Ancelotti made targeted adjustments based on the problems that occurred in the first half, such as changes in offense, such as the need for the return defense of Seedorf and Rui Costa on the midfield.


    Aldrich''s emphasis on defense is similar to the summary of De Rossi and Alonso''s personal halftime performance.


    After the two head coaches made targeted adjustments, although the scene of the second half of the game was still wide open, but the key points of the restrictions have improved the quality of defense, no goals appeared in the first 15 minutes of the second half.


    But in the 61st minute, AC Milan appeared a new attack point in a counterattack.


    Left-back Karaz!


    Originally he was a full-back with a very high assist ability, but from the start of the game, Millwall''s crazy side attack suppressed him from moving.


    Ancelotti''s dangerous move in the second half was Karaze, because if Karaze is not used well and AC Milan''s defense is lacking, it will be even more impossible to prevent Millwall''s attack.


    But this time, Millwall did not expect that the other party would dare to counterattack side to side.


    Seedorf, Pirlo, Rui Costa, three people in the counterattack with a short pass to move forward, they played like this after leading the first half, the frequent picture is: when the attack hits the penalty area, it becomes In positional battles, Millwall''s defensive players were all in place.


    This time, De Rossi withdrew from the back line and Alonso pressed against the back line to compress the air, ready to defend or intercept the free pass of the ribs, and vaguely attacked the opponent to the outside.


    Originally, the outside line would be Inzaghi or Shevchenko. If some of them go, the pressure on the middle will be reduced, and the next defense will become easier.


    The pressure on the lower back line will be filled by the back defender. If AC Milan adjusts again, they will have time to re-defense themselves.


    But this time, Schneider did not notice that Karaze quietly followed up behind him. He paid attention to Seedorf''s running position. For fear that Seedorf and Rui Costa pressed the middle, Nedved had already exceeded Pirlo, but the ball is at the foot of Rui Costa.


    When Nedvide was back in place, when Schneider turned to the front line and defended from the waistline, it was unexpected that Rui Costa passed to Pirlo, who passed the ball to the side, and Schneider turned his head to look. Seeing that Karaze quickly stopped the ball and suddenly attacked and hit the depth, Nesta went to block Karaze while pointing his finger behind him. Schneider felt that he would fill Nesta''s left rib empty.


    Karaze did not pass the ball to the goal, but instead returned to the feet of Seedorf outside the penalty area.


    Pirlo pressed forward, Nedvide came to defend Seedorf, handed Pirlo to Alonso to mark, Seedorf passed the ball to Pirlo, Pirlo was in front of the highly concentrated Alonso Shake it and actually miss the ball!


    Alonso was taken aback and looked in the direction of the ball rolling. The ball returned to the foot of Rui Costa. At the moment, Ashley Cole returned to the top of the defense to force Louis Coster, who passed the ball short. Pirlo who ran forward after missing the ball.


    Alonso still failed to catch Pirlo. Pirlo stopped the ball horizontally and stepped on the big penalty area line with a cold shot.


    The ball was slightly higher than the ground by twenty to thirty centimeters and flew to the goal without rotation. With a bang, it hit the inside of the goal and bounced into the goal!


    Bute just wanted to die!


    How can this be called?


    Not only did he want to die, Dida across the first half had already died.


    "AC Milan equalized the score again! OMG! AC Milan also returned to Millwall in the same way! They also completed a delicate and smooth teamwork in front of Millwall''s penalty area, and finally Pirlo finalized. Put the ball into Millwall''s goal, there is no way for the goal to hit the inside of the goal post and bounce into the goal! 3:3, this goal war is not over, it is not over!"


    Ancelotti laughed again, as did Audridge.


    It''s a big match today, it''s a bit of a feeling that every opponent will meet Liangcai!


    Although Millwall only needs to be more utilitarian, it may not make the game look like this, because the overall megatrend initiative is in their hands.


    But the two sides come and go in this way to interpret the goal war, especially the routine of this goal is very similar. AC Milan also uses side pressure to tear the defense line away and quickly transfer the offense to create opportunities.


    Aldridge tapped his forehead with a fist in his right hand.


    The game seems to be running out of control...

 Chapter 951： Stars shine

    No matter what way a team controls the game, offensive, defensive, organizational, teamwork, raging, and so on, there is a foundation that supports the control of the game will not change: physical fitness.


    It is impossible to dominate the side averaging 9 kilometers per game, and the opponent is completely in control of the game after handing over the team''s 11,000 meters per capita.


    How big is the course itself?


    From goal to goal, it is only about 100 meters, and the player sprinting is not from the bottom line to the bottom line. In addition, the responsibility areas of the players in different positions are different, and the running range must be reduced.


    If I can run more than two kilometers more than your average per game, even if the average impact in the various time periods of the game, the confrontation is very scary, even if you have strong technical ability, the extra effort to run Can narrow the strength gap, because more running, it means that the coverage is greater, and the relative compression opponent space is smaller.


    Millwall''s overall fitness will not be worse than AC Milan.


    However, Millwall is in a rebuilding stage, so players will have a lot of "invalid running" in running.


    This "invalid running" arises because of the running-in of the whole team and the maturity of the technical and tactical system.


    In today¡¯s game, the most intuitive thing is that Ashley Cole and Schneider sprinted back and forth repeatedly on the sidelines, but some sprints were inefficient because they played new roles and took on new tasks. Unable to integrate with the entire team, it also requires a lot of game experience to achieve perfection.


    Another point is the gap in the team''s brain.


    It was not obvious at first, but a careful comparison between Alonso and Pirlo''s organization played a strong role.


    Having an excellent organizational brain and driving the whole team can greatly reduce the "invalid running" of the team, making the most offensives more efficient, and the success or failure is the second. At least, you can see that the teammates are running very strongly Tactical role.


    And Alonso is still in the stage of striving for "organization efficiency" in the organization, that is, in the high-speed cascading team''s entire offensive system, frequent and continuous shots to the two wings, seeing the empty when they wish to pass the ball immediately, Let teammates take advantage of space and then go on a threatening offense, and also try to penetrate the long and medium distance like AC Milan''s several No. 10 players.


    In the eyes of Aldridge, the game is about to get out of control, which is caused by the physical fitness of the Millwall full-back. The problem is that oneself is not perfect, on the other hand, the opponent is too "cunning", Pirlo''s ability to control the rhythm It''s hard to see with the naked eye, but he used a large number of medium and long distances to pass with his teammates, forcing Millwall''s wing players to run back and forth. To a certain extent, the situation will be reversed, and the advantages and disadvantages will naturally be reflected.


    It was less than 70 minutes, but Aldridge had already planned to make a substitution, hoping that Schneider and Ashley Cole would finally release.


    However, people are not as good as days.


    AC Milan''s powerful midfield organization system began to take advantage of Millwall''s weakness in defensive decline, not only full-backs, Ronaldinho, Larsen, physical fitness also began to decline significantly.


    The AC Milan had no "explosive power" that had an advantage before, and now can vaguely compete against its opponents.


    In the 72nd minute, AC Milan attacked in the midfield and passed back and forth in a very clear and consistent rhythm. When the Millwall wing players returned to the defense, AC Milan also pushed the attack to the front waistline.


    When there is no problem with physical explosiveness, Millwall can switch back and forth, and teammates complement each other. However, when explosiveness cannot keep up, this kind of cooperative defense transposition is prone to flaws.


    25-year-old Carraze became the protagonist of the sideline. After receiving Pirlo''s sideline, he took the ball back and walked two steps. Nesta had to reclaim the penalty area. It was Schneider. Pushing out to force Karaze, but Schneider obviously slowed down a beat, obviously did not speed up to Karaze to make up the position, just returned from the front court, he wanted to speed up again, the body has been the end of the crossbow in a small period of time .


    And Karaze pretended to be an inward trend, so that Schneider recovered the restricted area and revealed the empty space on the line of the restricted area. Karaze''s old tricks were repeated, and the top of the arc was knocked to the left of the arc. Seedorf followed. Shoot out.


    This long-range shot was of extremely high quality and was vigorously sinking into the dead corner above the inside of the goal post.


    Bute saved the extreme and still couldn''t touch the ball.


    "AC Milan reversed Millwall again! Seedorf''s long shot was brilliant! Hahaha, this game is so interesting, the two teams alternately lead, no one knows what the result will be!"


    Aldridge closed his eyes helplessly and leaned back slightly. During that defense, Millwall clearly had a large number of defenders, but it was only a mechanical defensive position and lacked flexible complementarity.


    Schneider, Ashley Cole, can I still run?


    Of course it can, but the key is not fatal.


    Aldrich started to make a substitution, and Ancelotti shouted excitedly over there, and then, An Fat also wanted to change.


    "AC Milan and Millwall were replaced at the same time, Rui Costa was replaced and the replacement was Ambrosini. It seems that Ancelotti is going to strengthen the defense! They are now leading 4:3, Milwaukee At this time, I replaced two of them, and the whole right road was completely renewed. Schneider and Larson came off, and the young Ram and C Ronaldo appeared!"


    Both Ancelotti and Aldridge''s substitution ideas are clear at a glance.


    AC Milan added a good defensive midfielder, Millwall replaced the right to suppress Karaze!


    After the substitutions, AC Milan began to control the rhythm, the focus was still on the left attack.


    In the 78th minute, Karaze attacked and did not match up with the center. Millwall turned around and Alonso passed the ball directly to Nedved near the middle circle, who took the ball from the back. Do it for Ronaldo on the right.


    Cristiano Ronaldo dropped Carazze from his position, and he drove the ball along the side of the road, without any obstruction.


    The speed of his swift sideways advance made Ancelotti''s eyes wide and his expression slightly nervous.


    Gattuso handed the midfield defense to Ambrosini, and then he supported the side defense on the fire line. Seeing that he would fight with Ronaldo, Ronaldo simply strode the ball forward again, and then broke through with pure acceleration. Tusso''s interception!


    However, Ronaldo had no room to cut in after the end, and he could only end the attack with a one-foot pass. Henry, who was in the middle to grab a spot, was already very alert, but he grabbed a spot and was shot by Marty. Nepal blocked the shooting line with his body and blocked the ball from the bottom line.


    Ancelotti made a gesture to Karaze immediately at this time, so that Karaze should not rush into it again.


    The score is leading, no more risk, as long as the rhythm is controlled, the defense line does not give the opponent obvious empty, he believes that this goal war is over!


    Aldridge played the final card decisively.


    "Millwall used the last substitution in the 80th minute. The young Brazilian midfielder Kaka came on the court. The person he replaced was, actually, Ashley Cole? Millwall seemed to be fighting. Now!"


    Ancelotti didn''t expect Aldridge to be ¡°crazy¡± again.


    And this substitution made Ancelotti frown.


    The most feared strange soldiers on the court.


    If it is just a substitution, it will be ok. If Kaka replaces Nedved, the foreseeable situation will not be too surprising.


    Coca Kaka replaced Ashley Cole.


    How can Millwall''s offense play with an offensive midfielder changing back? What is the formation?


    This is only Aldrich''s own understanding now, and Ancelotti can only guess, or observe the game to figure out the opponent''s intentions.


    With little game time left, Ancelotti''s most worrying thing is: When I figure out the opponent''s substitution intention, did the game situation change dramatically? The game time may make it difficult for me to stop playing!


    Kaka came out with Aldridge''s tactical requirements, and he, for the time being, is not a stranger!


    He is a cover, a guise, a piece that attracts the attention of his opponent but is not the main point of attack!


    Ancelotti''s eyes focused on Millwall''s left-back zone.


    To understand Audridge¡¯s intentions, first of all, it is Ashley Cole¡¯s position after the end of the game.


    Or, no one fought, and turned into a full-back 3 guard.


    When a figure appeared in that position, Ancelotti''s expression slightly moved, a little relieved.


    Nedved!


    Aldridge actually let Kaka replace Nedved after playing, and then Nedved went to play the left back!


    Withdrawing an offensively-threatening player from the position, this obviously weakened Nedved''s impact.


    Although Kaka''s physical fitness is good, he is still immature after all. In front of the double waist with an experienced defender like Maldini and Costa Kuta, Ancelotti does not believe that Kaka can be more threatening than Nedved !


    The physical condition of AC Milan players also began to decline significantly, the offense was mainly stable, and the long pass was significantly reduced.


    Time passed by one minute and one second, Aldridge ordered the team to fight in 85 minutes!


    Crazy frontcourt!


    Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka are energetic. Their scramble in the frontcourt makes AC Milan have to attack the frontcourt, and the backcourt is not safe.


    In the 88th minute, when Seedorf was rushed up by Nedved to steal, Ancelotti''s expression suddenly changed.


    Nedved is not a full-back at all!


    AC Milan''s lack of impact on the wing, and the decline in physical fitness, Nedved rushed to rush to grab, can Seedorf can pass Nedved and then go forward?


    He can''t get rid of Nedved!


    Nedved is the best of Millwall''s starting players!


    At this moment, his advantage is reflected.


    After stealing Seedorf, Nedvide crossed the ball to Alonso. The latter passed directly to Kaka in front of him. Kaka stopped the ball and turned around. He withdrew more, and it didn''t look like a front waist. More like a midfielder, Kaka, who didn''t take the ball to try to break through, quickly moved the ball to the right.


    Cristiano Ronaldo got the ball on the wing and did not cut in. This was Kaka''s request to pass on Audric deliberately.


    The lack of strong support in the middle, C Ronetce''s impact can only rely on himself, in that case, the offense is not good to fight down.


    Aldridge''s expression was calm and his eyes were quiet.


    Millwall''s last fight was to go back to the traditional routine!


    Cristiano Ronaldo dribbles the ball along the wing. Carrazer has always been alert to Cristiano Ronaldo''s inning, but instead gives Cristiano Ronaldo a chance to play.


    He took the ball to the bottom and finished the pass of the footer''s job!


    The quality of this pass is extremely high, flying over the dense defensive zone in the middle of the penalty area, and it is placed at the back point of the small penalty area, and it is an external spin arc ball!


    Henry, certainly can''t grab the spot, because he is out in the middle.


    Ronaldinho came to the front waistline and did not go deeper into the restricted area.


    However, there is still a dark blue figure flying from AC Milan''s restricted area!


    The ball that flew over the heads of Maldini and Costa Kuta and landed two meters in front of Cafu, actually someone completed the diving jump!


    who?


    Crazy Lion God of War, Nedved!


    Dida''s weird posture seemed to be shot to the ground, jumped into the goal and jumped into the goal, and beside him, the ball rolled slowly.


    "Nedved headed the ball at the last minute to equalize the score for Millwall! 4:4, 4:4, crazy game, crazy game! This is really a great game where the stars shine! Nedved makes The suspense in this game continues, the crazy lion will not concede defeat, and Millwall will not bow to the Shinco European champion! Because, the **** of war Nedved is not old, the heart of the crazy lion is still throbbing!"


    Nedved slowly stood up from the restricted area of ??AC Milan, with a strong expression, his right hand clenched and raised his head above his head!

 Chapter 952： Sublimation and tempering

    AC Milan''s generals were helpless, Millwall was encouraged.


    Ancelotti''s thoughts were slightly messy, and he paced for three circles in the same place, as if there were no head flies or nowhere to scatter!


    No one heard him whisper.


    "This, this, that''s it! Always like this!"


    No one questioned Aldridge''s status as a tactical master in UEFA, but many people actually admired him as being very blind and mostly following suit.


    In the eyes of peers, what is the fear of Aldridge as a "tactical master"?


    It''s not a technical and tactical formation that has been discussed in a normal way.


    433, 4231, 442, whatever he is.


    This static tactical system that can be dissected naturally has methods of restraint or limitation.


    However, it was Aldridge''s change in the final period of time that his colleagues admired his "tactical master".


    It¡¯s the most appropriate at the point of time: don¡¯t give your opponent extra time.


    As for the content of the change, it is often unexpected and elusive. Unlike some coaches, the backhand is foreseeable. It is not even a change. It is used by the outside world. The audience is used to it. Could the opponent coach still be you? Was it flat-footed?


    Ancelotti, who is usually a gentle old man, has some signs of running away at the moment.


    "The Brazilian is a guise, Nedved''s retreat is hidden, Aldridge, really has you!"


    It is easier to find the problem if you go back and reverse after making a mistake.


    Ancelotti understands that AC Milan''s offensive pressure on the wing is not enough. Nedved looks like a full-back. In fact, it is transformed into a wingback.


    He was at Millwall before, and was already used to changing positions with Ronaldinho. When attacking, it was commonplace to turn into a left-winger.


    Aldridge used some blinding methods to reactivate Nedved, and the effect was obtained at the last moment.


    Before Nedved scored, Millwall passed a one-hour period of rushing, and his physical fitness needed to be slowed down. AC Milan was difficult to speed up besides passing, and contracted in Millwall. Against the counter-attack, the two teams did not play a threatening offensive in the last few minutes.


    "4:4, the 90-minute match of the European Super Cup is over, followed by overtime. This wonderful goal fight is beyond everyone''s expectations. The world''s top two strong teams treat this game with more attention than In view of the expectations of the outside world, we hope that in the overtime, this classic goal fight will continue to be interpreted!"


    Without going back to the locker room with the team, on the sidelines, Aldridge took out a tactical board, roughly redesigned the basic formation and offensive and defensive routines of overtime games, and the assignment of player responsibilities changes.


    Some players are exhausted, such as Ronaldinho and Henry, but some players are still alive and want to make contributions, such as Ronaldo, Kaka, Ram.


    Before the start of overtime, AC Milan used the second substitution.


    Danish striker Thomason replaced striker Inzaghi.


    Although Thomason looks taller and stronger, but in terms of style, he is similar to Inzaghi. They are both "opportunistic" forwards. Ancelotti is to strengthen the vitality of the front line without changing the ball. The team''s mature tactical style.


    Millwall showed a brand new asymmetric formation before the start of overtime.


    On the front line are Henry and Ronaldo.


    Behind them is Kaka.


    After Kaka, Ronaldinho and Alonso.


    Nedved played on the left wing guard.


    De Rossi singled the midfielder.


    Two central defenders on the back line plus right-back Ram.


    Ronaldinho''s physical fitness has declined. First of all, on the offensive end, it is certainly difficult for him to get rid of the outstanding in the dense defense zone, because it is good to get rid of the outstanding, the most important one is the explosive force, there is no explosive speed support, only It can just spin around.


    So he withdrew his position and played the role of his tandem organization. The offensive impact in the left half of the front court was left to Henry and Nedved. The impact in the right half was handed over to Ronaldo and Ram, while the impact of the middle road, Then Kaka lurking behind the front line, and Alonso beside Ronaldinho.


    Aldrich has his own wishful thinking, and Ancelotti will not sit still!


    Unexpectedly, even Aldridge did not expect that AC Milan played an extremely **** and crazy attack at the beginning of overtime!


    Pirlo''s cooperation with Seedorf''s middle road directly crushed Ronaldinho and Alonso!


    This kind of crushing is not just a comparison of technical ability, but it is while attacking and defending, and the defense is not protected!


    Alonso is still used to having complementary defensive teammates like De Rossi, and Ronaldinho has been broken through the defense line, so he really can''t stop the opponent.


    In front of the penalty area, the two No. 10 players passed each other, Pirlo shot a cold arrow in the periphery, Bout saved the ball, and Thomasson, who just changed the field, made a supplementary shot in front of the goal and sent the ball into the goal!


    "Wow, AC Milan won overtime from the start! Over-the-top Thomason became a hero! Millwall equalized the score at regular time and they fell behind again in the overtime!"


    Ancelotti''s hairstyle is a little messy, and the excited smile looks a little abnormal, and the passion is endless!


    A tasteless European Super Cup, he and Aldridge''s wits and bravery, in the hearts of the two, in fact, no less than the Champions League final!


    This is the first time they have met on the sidelines since they knew each other. It can be said that they have been in contact for a long time, but they have not had any actual combat. This expectation has existed for more than five years. In the mind of Celotti, it will only get stronger.


    Who made Aldridge famous already?


    Aldridge was expressionless, gesturing to the players on the sidelines and begging not to give up!


    A game of twists and turns, the ups and downs of the mood, need the coach to calm them down.


    However, no one expected that Millwall continued to play a counterattack. After 10 minutes of extra time, AC Milan suddenly hit a counterattack. Seedorf launched a long pass counterattack. Shevchenko retreated the order. The soldier pressured the middle and got rid of two steps in front of De Rossi and barely took a long shot. The ball hit Southgate and was blocked by his body. The ball was unloaded in the penalty area and Thomason was Nesta rushed to shoot near the penalty spot!


    "Oh my god! Thomason scored twice! Millwall fell behind by two goals in overtime. Perhaps the game was less than 5 minutes left!"


    AC Milan fans in the Stadium of Louis II shouted their arms, and the players on the AC Milan coach and benches stood up and cheered!


    Ancelotti laughed as he raised his eyebrows, and then, with serious expression, proceeded to the last substitution!


    The top coach, even at the last moment, will do both hands.


    Some will succeed, others will fail.


    But it is necessary to plan ahead.


    Under normal circumstances, when the situation is uncertain, Aldridge will not play all three cards, but now mainly to train the team, giving up the last hand to choose to play for the opponent, is one of the costs.


    If AC Milan does not score in overtime or loses the ball first, or if there is no threat of attack after one goal lead, Ancelotti will replace Serginho, the Brazilian who can play the winger, will Brings AC Milan a new threat of side attack!


    But now two goals lead, Ancelotti will not replace Serginho, he chose to change to Brocchi, withdrawing physical and defense will reveal flaws in Pirlo.


    Strengthen defense!


    Before Millwall kicked off, AC Milan completed the substitution, and Ancelotti looked awesome.


    5 minutes, no, 4 minutes!


    AC Milan will win this game as long as they hold for 4 minutes!


    why?


    It only took 10 minutes in the first half of overtime.


    But now UEFA has a silver ball system!


    His mother, suddenly announced the implementation of this system six months ago.


    This is much better than the golden ball system. If it is the golden ball system, Thomasson¡¯s first goal has already killed the game.


    The silver ball system is a watershed time for the game.


    If at the end of the first half of overtime, the score has a win or lose, then, at the end of the game, the leading party wins!


    If it is a draw, it will continue in the second half of overtime.


    Seeing AC Milan''s substitutions, Aldridge''s originally frowning eyebrows spread out, waving his arms desperately towards the players on the court, pointing at AC Milan''s halftime. The meaning was clear: offensive!


    AC Milan took a bad move!


    If you don¡¯t change people and keep Pirlo, you may really kill Millwall.


    But leaving a midfield that is similar to a combination of engineers and engineers, only Seedorf is alone in the overall situation. Audridge feels that Millwall really has a chance to fight.


    In particular, they no longer have to be afraid of the opponent''s mid lane advancement, they can fully launch the offensive routine they envisioned!


    Changing direction freed Ronaldinho and Alonso.


    Why?


    If Pirlo and Seedorf advanced in the middle, they first suppressed Ronaldinho and Alonso''s starting position.


    Instead, switch to Broki or Ambrosini to attack.


    What do he do?


    All you need to do is to limit the dead Seedorf!


    The man who stepped forward again in the midfield was handed over to De Rossi. If he couldn''t withstand it, Aldridge might have to use a knife to put De Rossi on the bench for some time.


    No matter how much time is left, as long as the game is not over, Aldridge thinks there is hope for everything.


    Because he once led the team to win the championship in the last minute, and once escaped in the last minute in the pinnacle of the European War!


    The more this is the case, the more excited he is!


    Millwall should also be excited!


    This is the perfect environment for sublimating temperament and tempering the will!


    The problems of the AC Milan midfielder were quickly exposed. Millwall''s attack failed, Kaka and Henry were rushing in the middle, Gattuso, Ambrosini, Broki, no one has the ability, or Say confidence to control the ball without losing!


    So, they passed the ball to Seedorf!


    However, this point is too easy to foresee.


    When Seedorf turned back to catch the ball, Alonso shot out from behind him, directly breaking the ball, and then Millwall quickly launched a fast break.


    Less than 3 minutes are left for them, they are working hard to create a miracle of scoring two goals!

 Chapter 953： Nova light

    In the defensive tactics, the top giants such as AC Milan will not make all the defensive players withdraw their "buses" in the penalty area for a short period of time. In such a joint defense, it is very important to maintain the distance between teammates. If the distance is long, the space will be large, and the complementary cooperative defense will not be connected. Naturally, there will be no ideal defensive effect.


    When Alonso accurately passed the ball to the left, and Nedvide went forward and took the inward line, AC Milan''s midfielder was closely connected with the defender line and they would cover Millwall''s offense. Line player.


    Nedved had a 45-degree diagonal pass. He didn''t try to break through again because he couldn''t move anymore. The key is that AC Milan''s defensive players, Ambrosini and Brocchi, have no physical problems. In terms of human explosiveness, Nedved knows that he is not effective.


    So when he had a chance to cross, he stopped and looked up at the situation inside and outside the AC Milan restricted area.


    Neither Kaka nor Henry ran into the penalty area on the middle road. At this time, Henry ran decisively toward the left rib of the penalty area. In this way, his connection with Nedved was the closest from the route, and Henry¡¯s movement was also natural. Will cause a chain reaction of AC Milan defense.


    Kaka, however, is one step slower. He himself is lurking behind the striker.


    Cristiano Ronaldo hasn''t come up on the other side yet. He just fought back and he pulled back deeper.


    Nedvide¡¯s distrust of Henry¡¯s ¡°heading ability¡±, plus his lack of angle and space on the ground, he could not see the ground line that sent the ball to Henry¡¯s feet. Takuta, Ambrosini blocked it well.


    So, Nedvide returned the ball to the middle, Ronaldinho couldn''t run there, he wouldn''t rush forward, why? If there is no strength, the ball will be lost in physical confrontation, so he stays in the front left of the middle circle.


    At this time, receiving a pass from Nedved, Ronaldinho observed the situation in front of his eyes, and then a long pass was displayed.


    Henry forced the left rib in the penalty area before, Kaka stepped forward and entered the penalty area. It was Maldini who defended him head-on.


    Ronaldinho''s route into the restricted area will be in a slightly deeper zone on the right rib of the restricted area.


    At this moment, Cristiano Ronaldo hits!


    Maldini turned to the left rear to grab the landing point, but the 35-year-old, who was originally closer to Ronaldo, gradually made Ronaldo closer to the ball''s landing point in the process of chasing the landing point.


    Dida was standing near the goal post on the side of Henry''s pressure. I was afraid that Henry would take a low pass after Nedved''s pass.


    At this time he abandoned the door and rushed forward from left to right, but it seems that his speed is obviously faster than Ronaldo.


    Broki, Carraze, AC Milan four points, at the same time gathered from four directions to Ronaldinho''s long pass to the restricted area!


    Looking down from the stand, it seems that Ronaldo was shot by four people together!


    However, Ronaldo first touched the ball!


    He didn''t stop the ball, but jumped hard when the ball fell. Maldini also took off half a meter away. Dida''s fist was slowly rising one meter in front of him on the left!


    BOOM!


    Louis II Stadium is boiling again!


    Crazy lion fans were completely mad, and countless fans roared wildly in a hoarse voice!


    Roar like a mad lion!


    "Cristiano Ronaldo! He headered the ball gently, and the ball flew into AC Milan''s goal after refraction! 6:5! 6:5! Millwall still has time and 2 minutes! They can play Is it a miracle? Can it?"


    Cristiano Ronaldo was knocked over by Maldini and Dida after the header. The young guy immediately got up and rushed back into the goalless face with the ball and ran back. All the Millwall players were in the frontcourt Beckoned to go back.


    Even Aldridge was worried that Cristiano Ronaldo was injured, but the Portuguese kid obviously clenched his teeth to show a tough man''s gesture, which made Aldridge feel relieved at the same time.


    Millwall did not teach him to dive and perform.


    And he always has a very outstanding sense of team honor.


    This time is not the time for **** shouts and pain. This time is the time to stop lying as long as you can stand. This time is when he can become a hero without letting everything go in vain!


    AC Milan, everything is not over yet!


    Because you want to win, we mad lion, do not agree!


    Ancelotti''s face was pale, so he raised his hand and touched his hair calmly, and then pressed his hand to make the team stabilize.


    2 minutes!


    Fuck, just 2 minutes!


    You keep it for Lao Tzu!


    On the other hand, Aldridge didn¡¯t have time to celebrate or praise anyone. He shouted loudly on the sidelines: ¡°Philip, Daniele, rush up, rush up!¡±


    Along with his gestures, Ram and De Rossi are more advanced in repositioning at halftime.


    Next, Aldrich made a gesture towards Nesta and Southgate that was captured by the live camera and seen by countless viewers.


    He raised his index finger in front of both hands at the same time and was in front of him, and then slowly moved his hands outwards, which means "split".


    Nesta eventually followed Aldridge for a shorter period of time and didn''t quite understand it.


    What he struggles with is, does this "separation" separate the center defenders?


    So he asked Southgate aloud, and Southgate understood that he ran to Nesta and said simply, "We are separated from the midfielder!"


    Nesta got it.


    Then, after the game restarted, AC Milan kicked off, and Millwall''s midfield and forward players such as crazy lions broke into AC Milan''s half.


    They did not focus on one point, but spread out all the points.


    Suddenly under the pressure of Millwall''s horrible pressure, if AC Milan can have another No. 10 player, as long as there is another one, I am afraid that Millwall''s pressure will return without success.


    However, Seedorf was alone, with De Rossi behind him like a snake, and Ronaldinho blocked the pass line with a position in front. Alonso was put into the task of putting pressure on the opponent''s backline in the frontcourt.


    AC Milan players have no physical strength and physical strength, and the ability to break the ball is not reliable, so when the situation of not dare to pass to Seedorf, they can only make a big foot!


    Nesta finally understood why Aldridge made that gesture.


    Millwall''s snatching forced the opponent to kick the ball towards Millwall''s backcourt.


    Then, the two central defenders in the back line must be out of touch with the midfield and frontcourt, and they cannot be rushed up, they must control the landing!


    In the process of fighting with Thomason, Nesta took a brave jump and gave the ball a precise header to De Rossi.


    After landing, Nesta stared brightly forward, looking forward to the team''s next performance more than ever!


    De Rossi stopped the ball and turned around. Seedorf didn''t come up to grab. He blocked the pass line between him and Ronaldinho through the position, because he felt that De Rossi would definitely pass the ball to the nearest Ronaldinho.


    However, De Rossi did not!


    He passed the ball to the side, the right side! After passing the ball, De Rossi ran forward quickly, and after crossing Seedorf, AC Milan''s midfield defense pressure increased greatly! He didn''t dare to help defend the side, he was forced to retreat!


    Ram dribbled past the half court and walked along the side of the road. After coming to the side of the outside of the big penalty area, he made an in-cut. Carraze came to defend and prevented him from cutting and preventing him from passing the ball to Ronaldo. Or plug in the player after the middle!


    And Ram, made a flash performance after playing!


    breakthrough!


    "Wow, Germany''s 19-year-old fullback Ram turned suddenly and passed Karaze! He entered the penalty area and was still leading the ball to the bottom line. He crossed the ball and C Ronaldo got a shot!"


    Karaze broke through because he didn''t expect Ram to re-select the bottom line after cutting inside. All his defensive plans were disrupted. C Ronaldo was lost with C Ronaldo in front of the penalty area. Rushing, Ram''s bottom moved AC Milan''s entire defense line backwards, and Ronaldo had a chance to catch the ball.


    Cristiano Ronaldo, who has just scored a goal, couldn''t help being nervous.


    Two goals behind and one goal behind are definitely different, and the rest of the time is also different.


    If this ball is scored, God will **** me and kiss me!


    Cristiano Ronaldo swept the ball directly to the goal!


    Probably an angle problem. Strive to be safe and not miss the ball. Although Ronaldo''s shot went towards the goal, he didn''t hit a particularly tricky angle.


    Dida blocked the near corner of the goal and when the ground came over, he unconsciously stretched his leg and blocked his right leg!


    Ronaldo seemed to have a brain crash, and he felt the regrets that countless green heroes had felt.


    However, this attack is not over yet!


    AC Milan''s defender line lost the tight marking order because of Ronaldo''s shot.


    Following closely on their back line, Millwall has two people.


    Kaka! Alonso!


    The direction in which the ball popped out was exactly on Kaka''s forward path.


    Kaka pushed the ball without stopping, and the ball flew between Maldini and Costa Kuta. Dida fell to the ground when he blocked the shot. At this time, the goal was wide open, the defender could not stop it, the goalkeeper, Also unable to return to heaven!


    After Kaka shot, he was knocked down by Gattuso, and Gattuso saw that the city gate was finally lost, kneeling on the ground and punching the turf three times in a row with fists!


    At the stands of Louis II Stadium, all the fans were standing, AC Milan fans held their heads in disbelief, and their faces were dull, while the fans of the lion screamed with passion, many fans took off their shirts and waved in their hands, just like a group of demons. !


    "Unbelievable picture! Millwall equalized the score at the last minute! Kaka! The Brazilian player saved the game! The three substitutions of Sir Hall at the last moment actually performed together and Millwall escaped! M, C Ronaldo, Kaka, these three young people teamed up to create a miracle! This will definitely become a century-old classic game, the pinnacle of Europe! While the stars shine, there are talented new stars! The game will also be Go on! What will the final result look like? For neutral fans, they are absolutely satisfied. No matter who wins or loses, Millwall and AC Milan will win the world and applaud them!"


    When everyone around him, the coach, and the players were ecstatic, Aldridge stood on the sidelines and closed his eyes to reveal an intoxicated smile. His right hand drew a parabola from the bottom up.


    That was Ronaldinho''s last action whenever he jumped Samba, and Aldridge''s right hand finally stretched out in front of him, as if to introduce his team to the world: Millwall!


    A group of fighters that made him proud and proud!


    Whether they are the old God of War or the new crown prince, they carry the will of the mad lion!


    Ancelotti was slightly lost, as if suffering a mental shock.


    is it wrong?


    What step is wrong?


    Would it be better to replace Serginho?


    Isn¡¯t it less life-threatening than the mad lion, it won¡¯t be chased back the score, but will be able to cut the mad lion again?


    Ancelotti was puzzled.


    When leading the ball, he replaced Ambrosini.


    When leading two goals, he replaced Brockey.


    Step by step to strengthen the defense, but step by step by Millwall tied the score.


    What went wrong?


    He thought that the AC Milan he built could replace Millwall, the ruler of the previous dynasty, but today, the idea began to waver.


    Because Millwall is immature.

 Chapter 954： Only 27 years old

    In a European Super Cup, the Champions League and the UEFA Champions League match, Millwall and AC Milan evolved this game into a classic classic battle that has been rare in recent years.


    In 105 minutes, there were 12 goals that broke apart, a total score of 6:6, the silver ball system failed to kill Millwall, and the second half of extra time.


    It''s a pity that both sides have no energy.


    Interestingly, Millwall''s physical advantage is offensive, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, and Ram can help up the wing.


    And AC Milan''s physical strength is in defense, Ambrosini, Broki.


    So in the last 15 minutes, the overall confrontation between the two teams disappeared and evolved into a tug-of-war of local teams. Millwall was the main attacker and AC Milan was the main defender. No one could afford more variables.


    When the 120-minute game ended, the score was still 6:6.


    It will be a penalty shootout waiting for both teams.


    Ancelotti must be unhappy.


    He won''t lose to Millwall for 120 minutes.


    Came to Monaco with the prestige of the Champions League. In terms of attitude and goal, Ancelotti wants to overwhelm Audridge.


    This is an active competition.


    Draw, be willing to fart!


    Moreover, AC Milan is the leader most of the time.


    Suddenly he had to hand his destiny to God, standing on the stage of roulette, Ancelotti was even more disgusted.


    Aldrich¡¯s mentality is much easier, reducing the pressure on the players so that they don¡¯t bear psychological pressure. During the regular time, they have gained valuable experience. The content of this war excludes the tactics between the head coaches. Confrontation, baptism of the players themselves is particularly meaningful.


    Butt stood there in a daze. Aldrich saw him and asked him if he had any questions. Butt recovered his head and shook his head.


    Glancing at AC Milan''s players on the field, Aldridge suddenly laughed.


    Players who are still on the court should say that Millwall has a ball advantage.


    This is a theoretical comparison of technical capabilities and cannot be used as a practical reference.


    Soon, the penalty shootout began.


    Millwall was fined first.


    Perhaps, except for the fans of the two teams, other fans or spectators don''t care whoever wins the two teams. In a 6:6 battle, they are all satisfied with the visual sense.


    Ronaldinho was the first to stand on the penalty spot.


    He is facing fellow Dida.


    Ronaldinho, who had been unable to run, did not pull away from the long run distance and appeared relaxed, standing just over a meter in front of the ball.


    After the referee blew his whistle, Ronaldinho stepped with his left foot, supported his body, and shot with his right foot. The action was completed in the blink of an eye, without the slightest sense of sight.


    Dida flew in the right direction, but he seemed to be too fierce. Ronaldinho''s ball was like a spoon, but it was definitely not a spoon. It was a very ordinary rubbing shot. It was not strong enough to feel light and flirty. It was better than the angle. The small arc Hanged into the upper left corner of the goal.


    "Millwall made a good start in the penalty shootout."


    Ronaldinho, who walked back with a smile, did not think too much. The goalkeeper was replaced. Butt stood in front of the goal line, and his opponent was Shevchenko.


    He was in a daze just now, but he was thinking about his past.


    AC Milan has old acquaintances, Shevchenko is one of them.


    Probably thinking about Shevchenko''s habit of penalizing in the past training, which is not accurate anyway, and Bout should be lucky.


    When Shevchenko shot the ball to the left, Bout flew out and felt very safe to reject the ball!


    "Shevchenko missed the penalty kick! He missed the penalty kick! The AC Milan penalty kick fell behind in the first round."


    Henry, Thomason.


    Kaka, Broki.


    Nedved, Cafu.


    In the middle three rounds, both sides will shoot a penalty into the opponent''s goal.


    In the final round, as long as Millwall makes a penalty, they will win the game.


    The last one to appear is C Ronaldo!


    "Surprisingly, Nedvide actually played in the fourth round. It was young Cristiano Ronaldo who beat Millwall. Will the genius who saved Millwall in the game become a final hero? "


    Ancelotti was depressed.


    Defamation in my heart: Audridge, you also used to train for the penalty shootout, you!


    Obviously, putting Cristiano Ronaldo in the last appearance will naturally give him the opportunity to hone his psychological qualities.


    To be bold is also a bit exaggerated. If it is bold, Aldridge ranks Alonso and Ram in the penalties of the previous four rounds.


    Cristiano Ronaldo is like a warrior preparing for a duel on the battlefield. This kid likes to be cool, so he has a special aura. The annoying people will think that he is pretentious.


    The tension had dropped a lot, but Ronaldo came up, as if this was a historic moment in his eyes!


    Perhaps, as long as he scored a penalty, he could rush to celebrate the victory, and then headed up to receive the award.


    So, after taking a deep breath, with undisguised ambition, Ronaldo kicked the ball and flew!


    "Ah! Ha! C Ronaldo missed a penalty! He was fully prepared to actually shoot the ball! Actually, there is not much distance above the beam. It can be said that he missed the beam. Unfortunately, he missed the shot. Penalty! 4:3, Millwall penalties still lead 4:3, but AC Milan still has a chance, as long as the last penalty is taken, the next penalty will be added."


    Ronaldo was like a man who lost everything after a failed duel. His expression was a bit miserable and distorted in an instant, and he slowly turned back with his head annoyed by his mistakes. Nedvide greeted him and patted his shoulder for the first time. As a comfort, his little partner Kaka Alonso also used words and deeds to make him feel better.


    AC Milan played in the fifth round with Seedorf.


    Bute stood in front of the goal line, frowning all the time.


    When Seedorf''s penalty kick flew to the upper right of the goal, he was surprised to see that Bout seemed to predict the correctness in advance, not only moved to that side, but also blocked consciously above!


    "Wow, Bout magically saved two goals from AC Milan. Seedorf missed! Millwall won the game! Millwall is the European Super Cup champion!"


    After saving Seedorf''s penalty, Bout lay on the grass and shrugged his shoulders between his arms.


    During the period of his daze, he not only tried hard to recall Shevchenko''s penalties, but also deliberately recalled a period of history that he would never forget.


    Because, that was his very high light moment in Millwall.


    98 Champions League final!


    In the penalty shootout between Millwall and Real Madrid, Bout did not pounce on the direction of the penalty kick to Seedorf, but that ball, Seedorf himself did not hit the goal range. If he hits the goal, he will definitely enter. .


    Of course Bout remembered the direction of Seedorf¡¯s shooting at that time, so he rushed to the side. Unexpectedly, he actually rushed out!


    In this game, the sports game lost six goals, whether it is Bout or Dida, certainly will not get a high score, but in the penalty shootout, Bout saved two penalties, destined to save him the entire game The performance of the game.


    Bute turned over and lay on his back on the court. The 29-year-old man''s clean and gentle face showed a simple smile that he hadn''t shown on the field this year. Perhaps, his inner joy is beyond others'' insight. Even Aldridge, who should know him better, is probably confused.


    The teammates ran around Bout, and everyone was more excited to celebrate this victory than in previous years, because it was too difficult, so **** exciting!


    The AC Milan team was full of resentment and were very depressed.


    To say how much it is lost, it is impossible to talk about it. A European Super Cup is just a simple defeat, which makes them very unwilling!


    Ancelotti''s face was so dark and scary that it had solidified for a long time like a wax figure.


    Suddenly felt someone hit his arm, Ancelotti turned his head and looked at Aldridge with his arm standing beside him, a little bit like a child, and grinned and whispered: "Karlo, ask You have a question. Compared to being reversed by Manchester United in 1999, is your mood a little worse today than it was then?"


    Ancelotti gritted his teeth innocently: "Audrich, do you believe me or I will beat you?"


    Aldridge shrugged and chuckled, "Don''t you know? Since you want to compete with me, you should be familiar with my means, and if you don''t provoke your anger, how can you make you sick? Maybe see you next time, You will lose your sanity directly!"


    Ancelotti exhaled slowly, believing that Aldridge''s statement.


    This kid is sometimes mean.


    "Huh, simply talking about football anyway, there is something you can never compare with me."


    "What? Come here, let me feel your superiority, say it, and let me hear it."


    Ancelotti turned to stare at Aldridge''s eyes and whispered: "I have three Champions League titles."


    "Hahaha, I have four! Hum?"


    Aldridge thought the other person was telling a joke, but he closed his mouth suddenly and saw Ancelotti''s expression turned into obvious taunt. Aldridge immediately understood it and gritted his teeth: "It''s more interesting than that."


    "Why is it boring? You are only 27 years old. Millwall lost 6 goals today and changed the goal for you. Maybe it''s the same performance. After two seasons, shit, you can tie me."


    Ancelotti turned around and left.


    Aldridge scratched his head and suddenly his eyes lit up, shouting to his back: "Carlo, if I really go to goal, is it that Milan will definitely not win the Champions League in the next two seasons? Hahahaha! You learn It¡¯s pretty fast, it¡¯s really annoying me, next time I meet you, I will put you on the bus, do you believe it?"


    Ancelotti didn''t look back at Aldridge, anyway, he was grinning.


    Aldridge turned and walked into the court to celebrate the championship with the team.


    ...


    The next day, the new season''s Champions League draw group was announced.


    Millwall''s grouping situation is very good this year, and there is almost no suspense in the promotion to the knockout, because they are divided into a strong and weak group, and even the first group of opponents have no opponents.


    Millwall, Royal Society, Galatasaray, Olympiacos.

 Chapter 955： on the way

    The European Super Cup came to an end, and it also announced that the European war in the new season will be rekindled.


    The players went to the national team non-stop to prepare to participate in the national team game, Aldridge also distracted the national team.


    Fleet Street, which never lacks hype, has begun to suspect and fan the flames.


    In the summer, Joe Cole was cleansed and Lampard was sold. Would the Aldridge''s **** heirloom in the Three Lions Army be "favored" in the national team because of the severed relationship with the Millwall club?


    Aldridge doesn''t care what the players think. In his new national team roster, Joe Cole and Lampard are still in the list. Even, the main position of Lampard''s national team, Aldridge There was no plan to **** it, or to make grand speeches to let him and Gerrard compete fairly.


    The lack of talent in England itself can''t afford even the slightest infighting. The World Cup has made this team unprecedentedly united. Aldridge does not want to destroy the unity of the team because of himself.


    On the other hand, it also reflects his professionalism as a coach, official business, will not be mixed with personal emotions.


    In the club, the choice of Ren Xianxuan is global, and the national team is originally the place where the capable people live. It is emotionally kicked who wants to find a fill, but it is delusional.


    Aldridge is unwilling to deceive himself. Moreover, he has no doubts in the work of the national team. At this time, he will not be downplayed as a person. For example, he is very important for Man to contact players. The outside world is obvious to everyone. Scholes, Beckham, and even Neville brothers, he will not give the outside world a chance to create a crack in England.


    After the announcement of the new national team roster, the focus has shifted.


    Rooney, who broke the scandal at the World Cup, returned to the national team, and there is a 50-year-old 18-year-old new golden boy, which naturally attracted the attention of the outside world. He performed well in Everton. Last season, he sat down with a new generation of European football. Genius status.


    The new golden boy soon established himself in the national team.


    In visiting Macedonia and the main scene against Liechtenstein, the England team won the game 3-1 and 6:0 respectively. Of the 9 goals scored, Rooney had 3, there was a goal in the first game, and second There were two fields, the shadow forward position behind Owen, Aldridge formally handed over to Rooney.


    The European Cup qualifier is only the last game in October. England won the first group advance to the European Cup. It is not surprising that they themselves were in a pressure-free group and won the first half of the qualifier at home. After the Xingyue Legion, the group''s first place was basically locked in and no need to consider the play-offs.


    In England before the European Cup, the process of technical and tactical reconstruction was far smoother and more stable than in England before the World Cup, but there was also a big hidden danger, that is, they did not encounter many challenges, even if the friendly match deliberately looked for a strong opponent, regardless of the opponent¡¯s intentions or The Three Lions players will take care of the club and stay in power, and they can''t let Aldridge find the problem completely.


    His only worry is that after the European Cup, if a fatal problem really breaks out, maybe, there is no time for him to remedy.


    Millwall stepped into the journey of the new season in an orderly manner. The team showed solidarity and vigor on all fronts. The third-generation mad lion started from this season, from the beginning or the road of construction. Both generations should be slightly high-profile and smooth.


    Although it will still pay some price, it is naturally the record of the game, but this cannot be avoided, at least there is no problem in the hearts of the team.


    The older generation of heroes are still able to make achievements in the battlefield. The emergence of the new star is extremely exciting. What makes Aldridge most comfortable is the younger and better players on the team.


    The performance of the stadium may not be a thousand miles away, but as he gives more opportunities to young players, some players show different attitudes and give signals to the outside world, which makes Aldridge secretly satisfied.


    For example, Kaka, who shined in two league cups and one home league match against Portsmouth.


    In the face of countless praises from the outside world, Kaka will be low-key and humble: "There are many mentors and friends around me. When you can work with players such as Nedved, Larson, etc., you can¡¯t help but be tempted by them. Affected, their experience will be an immeasurable wealth. They let you know what the performance of several games cannot represent. To reach their height and achieve achievements comparable to them, I need to pay more and more. , A player with countless honors like Nedved did not have the slightest pride and complacency at the age of 31. Why should I? I am honored to play for Millwall."


    A few months ago, Klinsmann made the final decision on coaching Millwall last season: failure.


    The media speaks.


    However, for Millwall, management does not simply use success and failure to summarize a period of work.


    In Aldrich''s eyes, Klinsmann certainly contributed a lot to the team.


    For example, last season he gave Ronaldo many opportunities to train Ronaldo to make Ronaldo familiar with the atmosphere of the top court.


    With the bottoming of last season, this season, Aldridge has used Ronaldo a lot.


    During a period when Ronaldinho was unable to play due to a minor injury, Ronaldo was placed in the left-wing position. On the other side, either Larsen or Robben was sent on by Aldridge.


    The modern winger group began to take shape. In the main scene of the UEFA Champions League group stage against Olympiacos, Millwall''s side storm completely destroyed his opponent.


    18-year-old Ronaldo staged a hat-trick, rushing in the halftime attack in a counterattack and using the acceleration to explode the other''s two defenses is a classic picture of the whole game. Robben has also emerged. Such a stranger is most used by Aldridge. Get up handy.


    Why?


    Disrupt all targeted layouts before the match!


    Cristiano Ronaldo, who came up from the first-tier youth team echelon of Millwall, has a very strong sense of leadership. When facing the media, he also speaks with extraordinary atmosphere.


    "A lot of people say that Millwall has been weak since last year. We are going downhill. This is a short-sighted conclusion. We beat the Champions League last season in the European Super Cup, and you will find AC Milan¡¯s room for improvement. There are not many, and we, Millwall, we are stronger every day, and I believe that soon, we will return to the height of a few years ago, and, complete beyond!"


    Millwall is not perfect, nor is it the best team in the record, but Millwall is still the most watched team, because their fresh blood is boiling, making people look forward to the day when the turbulent outbreak will be What a picture!


    While many positive elements haunt Millwall, something sighing is happening.


    For example, Ramall.


    His specific positioning on the field has been very vague.


    Millionaires in the frontcourt!


    Wherever Millwall lacks people in the frontcourt and needs to be rotated, he can go up without the shining performance of C Rocca, and is more like a firefighter.


    Therefore, the person most praised by Audric is not C Rocca, Robben Villa or Ram, nor Tiago Silva, which is automatically ignored by the media, but Ramor.


    He stayed at Millwall, just like Pederetti and Neil, to provide the team with unexpected needs. This is a sacrifice, a unilateral unsecured effort!


    For other clubs, Aldridge dare not say whether there will be a killing of donkeys, but in Millwall, as long as he is in power for a day, his heart, treating such players, is more forgiving and considerate. , Because their efforts are moving.


    In mid-October, the English national team routinely visited Turkey to complete the final game of the European Cup qualifiers. The exchange with Turkey ended in vain, and both sides were a little absent-minded.


    England is promoted in advance, Turkey is destined to play in the play-offs, plus the league and the European war are in full swing, the national team must also be aware of human sentiment, the line-up that they have discharged is reserved, and a draw is not unexpected.


    England ended the European Cup qualifiers with 8 wins, 7 wins and 1 draw. The focus of work began to target the European Cup next summer.


    Aldridge¡¯s worries can only be blind.


    Just like Spain, the king of the qualifiers, the qualifiers have always been invincible. When the competition suddenly has a problem and then returns with hatred, what can be done?


    The overall performance of Millwall in the league, European wars, domestic cups, and temporarily third-tier battles is still stable. As long as they do not use their strongest performance as a standard, they can be calmly accepted.


    They are running in, finding problems, solving problems, whether it is technical and tactical improvements or corrections, or seeking a higher understanding between teammates. Most of these need to play more games to improve.


    By the end of the year, the annual high-profile Golden Globe Awards once again became the focus of fans all over the world.


    An unsurprising person was elected to Mr. Golden Ball.


    Pirlo of AC Milan!


    2003 is not the year of the competition, the five major leagues, the European War, is the highest standard for selecting extra points.


    Although Pirlo did not help AC Milan win the Serie A title, he won the Champions League.


    Moreover, he is the only player in contemporary active service who has won the Champions League for four consecutive years, and is an absolute main force, without any trace of water!


    Whether it is the popularity of Millwall or his comprehensive performance in the past few years, his election is not too controversial.


    Especially when Aldrich told reporters after the results of the selection, it seems that he is also supporting Pirlo''s award.


    "It doesn''t really matter whether Pirlo won the Golden Globe Award. I think there will be people who oppose his award, and some people will not like him. However, if you don''t like Pirlo, you can''t obliterate his greatness. Yes, I used the great one. The word is because of Pirlo''s contribution to modern football. His appearance has made a brand new character enter the public''s field of vision and formed a brand new model. What is a classic? Classics can be imitated by people, Pirlo It has pointed out the direction for many similar players, so that many players with similar characteristics can not only stand in such a fierce competition, but also play a very important role!"


    As for whether to follow Larson, Nedved, and Henry, Aldridge again tuned a Mr. Golden Ball, but Aldridge did not respond positively, and did not care about this, although from "three" to "four "It makes his coaching achievements add another brilliant achievement, and there is no one before.


    The player on Millwall''s list is still Ronaldinho. He ranked second. His performance last season was average. Since the start of this season, in addition to injuries, his performance has clearly stood out. However, the lack of team honors, plus Pirlo''s "four-year Champions League championship" is too dazzling, Ronaldinho, unfortunately ranked third as the Golden Globe runner-up for three consecutive years!


    However, before Christmas, Millwall players still won the "Mr. Football" award, but not the "now" Mr. football, but the "future".


    The newly established Golden Boy Award in 2003.


    Can be regarded as U21 "Mr. Football", representing the future of UEFA.


    Millwall''s 18-year-old C Ronaldo won the award, which originated from his excellent performance in the new season league and the UEFA Champions League group stage. At least, the data is very gorgeous. The 3 appearances in the Champions League have 5 goals and 2 With an assist, Millwall was divided into a team with a strong disparity, and the data was not very good for the opponent.


    In the league, he also scored 5 goals and 4 assists towards the end of the first half. Counting the League Cup and the European Super Cup, from August to December, he has scored 12 goals and 9 A record of assists, only one assist can achieve the season''s goals and assists in double-doubles. At his age of 18, this report is enough to make him the most high-profile genius among the younger generation in Europe!


    And his fellow, he recommended Aldridge''s young guy Quaresma bought a few months ago, has fallen silent in Camp Nou...

 Chapter 956： Christmas war

    This year''s Christmas War is the top battle again!


    Millwall''s second place in the Premier League standings received the most attention. In addition to their vibrant side this season, there is also an accumulation of past influence.


    Fleet Street strives to build momentum for the top team.


    No one wants to see the competition situation in a single major league. Compared to the two seasons where Millwall has almost locked the championship in half, this season, Fleet Street has been talking about it: Arsenal locked the league in half!


    There is a premise.


    Defeat Millwall at the Lion King Stadium!


    Arsenal are so good this season.


    In the first 18 games, 13 wins and 5 draws.


    It was only slightly inferior to Millwall, who won two undefeated seasons.


    Fleet Street determined that Arsenal could copy the undefeated championship as long as they stepped on the body of the crazy lion!


    Millwall''s performance must not be bad.


    In the 18 rounds, they handed over 11 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss.


    Arsenal, 44 points, Millwall, 39 points.


    There is only a gap of 5 points, but if Arsenal beat Millwall on the road, the gap will expand to 8 points, and the morale of Arsenal will be boosted by morale, which will make them more courageous in the second half of the league!


    The Premier League began to officially compete for the throne of the world¡¯s first league. In the past, they did not have many teams to win. Now it is the fierce competition for the championship group that has become the biggest selling point. In addition to Millwall¡¯s contribution, there are naturally traditional giants Manchester United, Arsenal, and The attention brought by upstart Chelsea.


    As for Arsenal''s amazing start to the season, they still cannot shake Millwall''s market position, for simple reasons.


    They look gorgeous, but they are still centered on counterattacks.


    Millwall has also fought back before, but it hasn¡¯t lasted long. In other words, although both are fine football, a representative team of gorgeous football, but Millwall is more atmospheric, at least, Millwall is still offensive football The representative, Arsenal, is not worth mentioning. Their creativity in positional warfare is still limited. Without space, the power of Arsenal is reduced by at least half.


    Wenger has no choice. In recent years, Arsenal has actually focused on counter-attacks, but the defense is not a bus, the offense is not a rush, especially the counter-attack on the wing, the team that kicks the ball cooperates quickly and sharply. It was particularly pleasing to fight back. At first, it was due to the age limit of the five defenders. It was forced to fight like this. Later, it was left over from the previous style. If major surgery is required, Arsenal has no money.


    At the pre-match press conference of Christmas War, Aldridge had a headache.


    The press conference was chaotic, and the reporters in the audience were excited and asking questions, instead of focusing on the topic instead of the first battle, not the Premier League. The object of their inquiry was the "national team coach" Aldridge.


    Snapped!


    Aldridge will enjoy the noisy surroundings of the stadium, but cannot tolerate the noisy scene of a similar conference room.


    He clenched his brows and sullen his face, and took the case. The scene suddenly became silent.


    "Enough! I¡¯ll make an exception today to answer a question you asked out of time! As the coach of the England national team, I support the FA¡¯s decision! Discipline is discipline, regulations are regulations, violations of discipline, violations of regulations, punishment, this is Very normal procedure! No matter who he is, if it is a Millwall player, I will not plead for him! Rio Ferdinand suspended for eight months, this is the penalty of the FA for Manchester United players because he missed Urine test, do you think it is heavy? Looking at other cases, you will find that it is not heavy! Why do you ask? Because he helped the England national team win the World Cup championship? That is not the reason we pamper the players! As the national team coach, aim When Rio Ferdinand is suspended, there is only one response I can make: Ferdinand will miss the European Cup, and we will solve this problem internally, how to solve it? Our central defender is not only Ferdinand!"


    As soon as the words fell, Aldridge walked away.


    Aldridge is very conscious of being a famous coach.


    Very troublesome!


    He is not a babysitter, and he doesn''t want to wipe his butt. It''s two different things to protect players and help them clean up the mess.


    Ferdinand missed a urine test after a Premier League match this month, and was summoned by the FA. Immediately after that, his mobile phone call record was exposed by the superb Fleet Street that day, proving that the Manchester United medical team urged him to do a urine test many times. He is probably "absent" as described by the outside world, or simply "no one in the self-esteem", continue to go shopping, continue to work he will move into the life of the new mansion, then, hum.


    The FA fell across the board, and the 8-month suspension penalty was made public, which caused an uproar.


    There was a fry pan over Manchester United, and Ferguson almost collapsed.


    This season''s defending champion Manchester United is okay. Considering Beckham''s departure, Joaquin needs an adaptation period, plus there is no one except Fanny on the front line. Solskjaer who is over 30 is still a magical substitute. From time to time, Scholes still has to make guest appearances, and Keane is 33 on the midfield. Manchester United ranks third in the league. After Millwall, the defending hope still exists, but the mainstay on the back line suddenly has to be After eight months of suspension, the defense in the second half of the league is no longer a worry, it is an obvious big loophole!


    Manchester United is very firm, if the FA does not reduce the sentence, they will appeal to the Swiss Sports Arbitration Court!


    The FA is even tougher: Manchester United, you **** it! After three failed appeals, Ferdinand waited for a two-year ban!


    Uh, yes, the appeal mechanism of the UEFA sports circle is somewhat similar to the social legal system. If you want to appeal the case, there will be additional punishment if you lose the case!


    For example, the red card suspension is also the same. If you appeal, you may be suspended with a penalty. However, this point can also be used. Because the appeal period, no penalty, players can play. If the suspension is a key battle, many clubs Appeals will be used in exchange for opportunities for players to play first and then stop.


    Aldridge had no sympathy with Ferdinand.


    not at all.


    Even feel annoyed.


    Ferdinand had no reason to call Qu.


    Everyone abides by the rules. Everyone is familiar with it. Why are you special?


    Do the wrong thing and get a penalty.


    Just right!


    Annoyingly, this made him worry more about the national team.


    It is estimated that only Terry, Campbell is very happy to secretly ecstatic about this file.


    The following night, Millwall and Arsenal came to an end at the Lion King Stadium.


    Wenger was not proud of Arsenal''s lead of 5 points. On the contrary, his face was dignified from the moment he stepped into the stadium.


    Despite Millwall''s uneven lineup today, Wenger did not dare to take it lightly.


    Arsenal, a team that is very mature in terms of technical and tactical play and teamwork, has been adhering to the team for many years and has an unrivaled tacit understanding. Because of the stable overall framework of the team¡¯s lineup and the change in core tactical concepts in these years, they came At the peak, the energy burst was amazing.


    However, Wenger still felt bottomless, despite the hard tone in front of the media, that Arsenal would lead the standings to the last minute!


    From the second round of the league, Arsenal is the top of the list, starting with a wave of winning streak, and then winning the mediocre, has always been in the position of leader.


    Millwall is constantly swinging between the second and fourth places. Now he is not too far away from Manchester United and Chelsea behind him, but it is still relatively stable.


    To say that other teams have been kicked out of the championship, it is already very reluctant, and Millwall is unlikely to watch Arsenal reach the top.


    Henry had a minor injury and Villa replaced the starter.


    De Rossi accumulated a yellow card suspension, and directly took him on holiday to return to Rome for the New Year. The first replacement for him will be Pedretti.


    Southgate was also on the injured list, and Silva came out to hone the last game, and today he sent a more experienced Neil.


    In London with a New Year atmosphere, the Millwall team is relatively deserted.


    Aldridge has put some young players on vacation. This is his tradition of training players. Young players who do not pick big beams can get a reasonable rest. Even if they are like Ronaldinho, they can still get Christmas holidays at the age of 20, even if they sacrifice The game record, Aldridge does not care, let the players have a good year, it is better than the pressure to suppress the bad mood to face the second half of the league.


    With the honor of the European Golden Boy Award, Ronaldo returned to his hometown, and Kaka returned to Brazil to reunite with his family. Even the German player Ram was specially put on vacation by Aldrich. After all, the new German players are not used to it. Winter break.


    As for Alonso in the team, it was the holiday adjournment that sent him back to Spain after the Christmas battle. There was no complaint about Alonso. Compared with other Premier League teams, Millwall is taking into account player sentiment. In terms of living conditions, I have been extremely considerate.


    Millwall fans are not worried about falling behind Arsenal in the team standings. Everyone can see that Millwall still has potential to be tapped, and it is very big!


    And Arsenal?


    Is there room for improvement?


    Almost nothing.


    The strength of their players is basically at the current height. In the future, they will either stay flat or decline steadily, that is, an Ibrahimovic, and there should be room for improvement.


    At Lion King Stadium, playing Wenger for so many years, for the first time!


    The first time Aldridge was stunned by Wenger!


    "Wow roar! Arsenal led Millwall at home 2:0 in the first half! Their counterattack was very effective, and there was no opponent who could not be destroyed. Millwall attacked too aggressively, giving Arsenal a huge Counter space!"


    Ibrahimovic celebrated proudly, Wenger smiled with his arms, and the Gunners fans cheered, as if they were about to capture the Lion King Stadium!


    Aldridge stood fiercely on the sidelines.


    Arsenal''s core routine today is counterattack, counterattack, **** counterattack!


    But, Arsenal''s famous sideline could not fight back, and turned into a strong pressure on the middle!


    Pires itself is not a pure winger, he has no sense of disobedience when going inside.


    Yong Baili pressed the speed sleeve on the other side, and the flying wing brought tears and pressure on the back line.


    Center Ibrahimovic also obeyed the tactical arrangements under Wenger and retreated.


    Ibrahimovic, Bergkamp, ??Pires, plus Vieira and Silva on the offensive one, Arsenal did not pull the side when countering, directly rushed to the middle, and a small range of pass and cut cooperation Smooth and easy!


    Alonso and De Rossi cultivated a good tacit understanding in the first half. Today, he and Pedretti combined. The backline defense is easy to be caught. This is a stronger opponent. The opponent has a targeted attack deployment zone. The coming offensive threat has increased.


    It is difficult for Nesta to have a sense of sorrow in the back line, which is difficult to beat with four hands. No one dared to have one-on-one with him, Ibrahimovic also dared not, Bogkamp is old, and the decline in confrontation ability is very obvious , Is playing art in itself, and now is to maximize the use of residual heat, taking on the task of organizing the series, but the threat of flying wings Yongberg sharp knife, as well as Piray and Ibrahim¡¯s frontline cooperation, and Vieira and Silva provided a lot of pressure after inserting the offensive.


    Since the beginning of the new season, Aldridge, who is firmly committed to the new technical and tactical system, has made more obvious on-site adjustments for the first time, changing the formation and player roles.


    The serious-looking Aldridge did not feel fortunate that the news conference was disrupted by Fleet Street yesterday, because there was no Ferdinand''s trouble, he would make a big speech at the news conference: defeating Arsenal, Millwall is only 2 points away from the top of the list. .


    In the eyes of most people, Millwall is 8 points away from the top of the list after this battle.

 Chapter 957： happy New Year

    Many people think that the balance of 442 is an advantage. This advantage is that there are more options for changing the direction.


    If you want to attack, you can aggressively invest in offensive forces, if you want to defend, you can also shrink the formation.


    In terms of tactical changes, first of all, we should base ourselves on the balance point, while other formations are offensive or conservative. When changing, if it is an extreme change, it is easy to tear the tactical system of our team.


    But Aldrich doesn''t think so, even if someone criticizes his daring and tactical system this season for being too aggressive and lacking control.


    It''s almost the same as they lost points in the league.


    The opponent''s ultimate defense hit Millwall''s counterattack.


    If the first goal is scored by the opponent, then Millwall''s game is very difficult.


    Because you played all the offensive cards, the strongest offensive pressure hit the opponent''s defense line from the beginning. The opponent will adapt to it and become more and more experienced. How can Millwall change? Do you invest in offensive forces again? No defense at all?


    Aldrich never refuted a sentence, because it made no sense.


    In his eyes, what Millwall lacks is the overall rhythm control, not whether the attack is too aggressive!


    Today, in this 0:2 backward situation, the changes made by Audridge are two aspects.


    First, the defender line, the full-back attack input is weakened, a bold attack, a solid defense, the guard line is normally a 3-guard system.


    Second, Nedv¨§d retreated and hit the center midfielder. With Alonso and Pedretti supporting midfield control, they also strengthened the midfield defense. Normally, they are also 3 midfielders.


    Then, Millwall changed from 244 to 334, or 343, because Ronaldinho has more space, and the inward cut will become a front waist.


    This is a passive way to use the team to control the global rhythm, rather than directing the team through the core of the organization. The overall rhythm of the game will first drop, and then accelerate to rely on a single point of eruption.


    Aldrich doesn¡¯t like the explosion and acceleration of squadron heroism to change the game, because in the long run, such a rhythm change pattern lacks stability. Used to this mode, when there is no hero on the field, the team may not know how to win, how to activate the team''s energy to change the game.


    The reality is to accept it even if you don¡¯t like it.


    Wenger''s preparations before the game were very good, and Aldridge was caught off guard, but in terms of on-site command, Aldridge claimed to be better than Wenger.


    When Millwall made changes, Arsenal did not adjust the offensive strategy very quickly. They continued to counterattack with a flat midfield. They encountered Millwall¡¯s intensive counter-attack against the middle road. They were pulled by only Yongberg. In the case of the width of the side tear, Millwall''s three defenders and three midfielders will not give Arsenal more free time. In particular, the connection between the midfield line and the defender line has become closer, and Arsenal''s counterattack cannot be advanced to The danger zone was frequently strangled by Millwall.


    Aldridge standing on the sidelines was expressionless, and fans in the stands inevitably had a depressed mood. Last year¡¯s Christmas War, oh, not just Christmas War, last December, in addition to the Toyota Cup at the beginning of the month, Millwall was simply It was a disastrous performance. The final round of the Champions League was forced out, and there was no victory in the subsequent games.


    This year, I feel like I want to have a good new year. Unexpectedly, I didn''t expect Arsenal to play 2:0 without ending.


    Some fans who are not firm enough may complain in the heart: If the young handsome is playing more conservatively, it is estimated that the score will not be what it is now.


    Arsenal are very strong in the league, but they are not invincible to cope with the constraints of insufficiency in the field and tactics.


    In the first round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, at home, Arsenal were blasted by Inter Milan, which also has the same anti-ideology concept. 3, Cooper has already finished class in Italy, which was after the draw of Serie A was tied in the sixth round. Under the painful killer, Cooper suffered more pressure in Italy than Wenger. In addition to an impatient boss, the Italian media criticized last season''s runner-up Inter Milan, because the team lacked control and The scene is ugly.


    That is, in the Premier League, most teams will not put buses on the face of non-day public enemies. Especially at home, they still have to take care of the fans to watch the game and make the game more open. Arsenal''s living space is definitely more comfortable than Inter Milan. However, at home, when Arsenal were to attack, they were destroyed by Inter Milan.


    The Gunners also lost a goal in the Champions League in October. The away game against Dynamo Kyiv certainly has the inherent advantage of the Ukrainian team. However, Arsenal, who scored only 1 point in three games, almost missed the top 16.


    Fortunately, in the end, the teams playing Russia and Ukraine are at home, do not need to fight against the cold in the cold environment, and the other classic game is to defeat Inter Milan 5: 1 away, except for Inter Milan coach The turmoil, in fact, is still the same old routine. Arsenal attacked the counterattack, and the opponent attacked. Arsenal''s counterattack power is unparalleled.


    So in September Inter Milan coached by Cooper was able to overturn Arsenal on the road, and in November, Arsenal ran away to revenge.


    Aldrich''s transformation is a tried and tested technique in his on-the-spot command: lure the enemy.


    As long as the opponent is not absolutely utilitarian, he scores a goal or withdraws when he takes the lead and swings the bus. Even if the opponent still fights back, his means have room to play.


    Let Arsenal fight back, and on the basis of the opponent''s attack, there is room in the frontcourt. While the opponent''s counterattack dies, Millwall''s offense and defense conversion attack speeds up!


    Before the end of the first half, this opportunity was used. When Ibrahimovic and Bogkamp encountered a mad rush by Millwall in the middle and made a mistake, Millwall quickly launched a wave of fast breaks. De brought the ball straight from the middle of the road, and in the face of Vieira, the ball was distributed to Ronaldinho. The latter had the space to start and also directly exploded to speed up.


    Crossing the dribble to get rid of Lauren, and then go straight to cut the ribs. When Campbell and Vieira rushed over and defended, Ronaldinho and Villa made a two-on-one cooperation. The pass and running cooperation was very tacit, Ronaldinho went straight in In the penalty area, a low shot was made diagonally to the goal. The ball rubbed the inside of the near corner of the goal and rolled into the goal.


    Millwall, who had recovered a goal, raced against the clock, and Aldridge''s expression remained unchanged.


    Wenger, his face became a little nervous.


    In the first half, the two sides made no more achievements.


    In the second half, Wenger''s team tried to control the game, but this is not what they are good at. In the face of the pressure of Millwall''s team, want to dominate the game at the Lion King Stadium? Obviously whimsical.


    In the 60th minute of the game, Wenger saw that the team''s strong attack on the middle had no effect, and immediately let the team switch back to the normal counterattack routine, combining the sides and using the width of the court as much as possible.


    Aldrich saw the move, and also put the team back on the track of targeted deployment before the game. Their focus was to limit the penetration of the opponent¡¯s restricted zone in the dangerous zone. Nesta blocked Ibrahimovic, Neal and Pedretti, who withdrew deeper, locked his ribs to prevent opponents who were plugged in later. This defense was very effective in a short period of time. Arsenal even failed to fight back three times.


    In the 70th minute, Aldridge withdrew Nelson and replaced Lamore, and this substitution quickly received a special effect.


    Instead of taking over Larson''s position, Ramall organized on the sidelines. Ronaldinho gave up the organization and directly transformed into a shadow striker.


    In an offensive in the 76th minute, Ramall and Schneider, who was plugged in, moved laterally to the middle after matching the sideline. Arsenal focused on Ronaldinho and Nedved in the backline, but did not expect Ramall Will come to the middle road, when Ramall put a ball straight to Ronaldinho''s foot, then Ronaldinho crosses in the penalty area and assists the Villa in front of the goal to break the goal, the Lion King Stadium completely boils.


    Aldridge still didn''t smile, but waved his hand and let the team go back to kick-off, striving for a reversal in the final stage!


    Wenger was in a terrible mood.


    After the two-ball lead was pulled back, he no longer stubbornly supported, and he didn''t want to have a strong team face, so the team weakened the offense and strengthened the defense. This is a common posture of their away game this season. Defensive, just facing Millwall''s own oppressive offense, he started to defend in the first half. Wenger was afraid of night long dreams. There is not much time left now, and the physical fitness of the players has dropped. He is also satisfied.


    Because of the atmosphere of the Lion King Stadium and the morale comparison of the two teams on the field, it seems that Millwall is about to go crazy.


    That¡¯s right, in the first half of the game, Wenger Qiqi made trouble for Aldridge. However, during the game, according to the situation of the game, Wenger no longer has a magical performance. He is now afraid of Aldridge. Another unexpected trick, and the card in his hand, there is really no backhand available.


    Aldridge doesn''t fight every time.


    Fighting, it is necessary to consider whether the value is worth it.


    Also analyze the specific situation.


    The more Millwall reaches the second half of the season this season, the worse the physical condition of the full-backs. This is not a problem of strengthening the players'' physical fitness, but the problem of the team''s rhythm control and more reasonable use of physical fitness.


    Coupled with its weak defense in the midfield and backcourt today, it is really risky to press, even if two or three counterattacks, Arsenal may eventually kill Millwall.


    And is it worth the effort?


    At the end of the half of the league, if you win this game, the gap with Arsenal is reduced to 2 points, if it is tied, it is still 5 points, if you lose, it is 8 points!


    2 points, 5 points, 8 points, the gap is very obvious.


    Especially considering that the second half of the league is against Arsenal at home, if it is 8 points behind Arsenal, it can almost be determined that the gap between the two parties has expanded to the difference of 3 net wins!


    The momentum of Arsenal this season, it is almost impossible to pull back the 8-point gap in the second half.


    Aldridge wants to win, but can also accept a draw. It is indeed Arsenal''s preemptive strike today, there is nothing to complain about.


    Millwall didn''t fight, and Arsenal did their best to hold the draw. This Christmas battle was finally settled on a 2:2 result.


    "Arsenal locked the half-time champion in the last round. Today, they retired at the Lion King Stadium and successfully defended the 5-point gap with Millwall, completing the first half of the league with 13 wins and 6 draws and 45 points. Cheng and Millwall ranked second in the standings with 40 points and 11 wins, 7 draws and 1 loss. I believe the championship suspense will continue until the season finale. It is expected that the variables that will have the most impact on the Premier League title will be It will be the performance of the two teams in the European War! Under multi-line combat, see who can make the team''s record more stable!"


    Aldrich shook hands with Wenger after the game, and the two said to each other: Happy New Year.

 Chapter 958： Today is a good day

    Aldridge''s December was extremely fulfilling and happy. First, there was the celebration of baby daughter Bonnie''s first birthday, and there were some annual awards in UEFA. At the end of the month, it was Christmas.


    Aldridge did not have the concept of a holiday in his last life, because he was an orphan, and he really searched for "self" in China in his life, and found that it seems that there is no longer a "him" in the world.


    Christmas has become his customary holiday, not paying attention to its meaning. It is regarded as a fixed day for family reunion, which makes him feel satisfied and happy.


    The Premier League half-way came to an end, Millwall summarized the team''s performance in the first half, compared with previous years, the team progressed steadily, but no surprises.


    The Champions League successfully advanced to the top 16, and the league temporarily occupied the second place, not to pursue the performance of specific games. On the staged results alone, the defending champion was behind them, and Chelsea, who spent a lot of money in the summer, was also behind them.


    Aldridge is satisfied with the team''s performance in the first half. In the past, the mature Millwall will accumulate advantages from the beginning of the league and create a relaxed environment for the second half as much as possible, so that he can distract from multi-line combat.


    This season, we must run in the team and train newcomers. Both of these have achieved certain results, but they have not yet reached the peak.


    Alonso''s cooperation with De Rossi is getting better and better, but the two players have taken apart and partnered with other teammates are not effective. This is a limitation of their current stage, and still needs experience to improve.


    C Ronaldo, Kaka, Robben, Villa, four young people in the first half, some outstanding performance, some still have problems, especially Robben, the dedicated Dutch Peter Pan, always let Austria Derridge''s goal on the sidelines was either fierce, his defensive attitude was not firm enough, and his contribution to the defense was low, or he was outside the team system and always wanted to perform a personal heroic performance at a critical moment.


    If Millwall is a mid-stream team, not all opponents¡¯ eyes are on, Robben does not have much problem. But Millwall¡¯s current height is doomed to rely on the personal ability of the star. Such a problem, Real Madrid of Spain is using Actual action warns the world.


    Millwall is becoming more stable day by day and stronger day by day. In addition to the positive effects brought by the steady growth of young players, there is also the credit of the old players. They successfully helped the team quickly adapt to the new tactical system, complement, sacrifice, Contribution, their existence, is Millwall''s most valuable asset.


    Larson set a record, the player who was replaced the most in the first half of the league, but in his starting game, he was replaced in 60-70 minutes, almost became the law, and he did not have any complaints. Qi put him on the bench and let him play in the last 20 minutes, this veteran always brings unexpected contributions to the team.


    Nedved''s data for the same period has dropped a bit over the past few years. He has been the most scoring midfielder in Europe in the past few years. His assist data is also very good, but this season, as time goes by, His position is constantly retreating, and he frequently participates in defense. It is also to make up for the weakness of the team''s weak defense in the middle of the team. This is his sacrifice. He also did not complain about a word, but took everything for granted.


    Aldridge is full of confidence in the second half of the season. He is ambitious in the Champions League and the league.


    Another point is Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho''s condition was good in the first half, but Aldrich believes that Ronaldinho still has not reached the best state.


    In addition to minor injuries, Ronaldinho was distracted by life trivia in the second half of the year, because he wanted to take his mother to settle in the United Kingdom, and bought a manor for a large price.


    When he immigrated to the United Kingdom, his mother accompanied him and his sister, but the living conditions of their family were very ordinary, and they were not used to living here. After Ronaldinho lived independently, his family Back to Brazil.


    Now, Ronaldinho has brought his family to London again, not just for reunion, but because his mother has repeatedly suffered death threats in Brazil.


    Mo said that in South America and in remote places in Europe, the kidnapping of star family members has already become common practice. Isn''t Karaze''s brother being torn?


    Ronaldinho brought his mother to London for security reasons.


    And his brother has completely retired from playing football and became a "party prince" in the Andrew brokerage company, which is to represent Andrew in South America and the partners there to jointly operate South American business.


    Ronaldinho''s sister also works in Andrew''s company, but does not participate in jobs such as player transfers, but as a life assistant in the agent team. A star like Ronaldinho, behind the scenes, will be a financial manager for him The team, who arranges his daily life, will also be a team. His sister personally controls Ronaldinho''s daily life arrangements, and is the first gatekeeper of Ronaldinho''s pick-up girl, rejecting some girls who are deliberately suspicious. Background checks, even appointment schedules, etc.


    Before Christmas, when Aldridge was invited to dinner by Ronaldinho''s family, Ronaldinho''s mother''s words repeatedly told Ronaldinho to listen to Aldridge''s words, feeling that Aldridge was an elderly elder. Crying and laughing.


    In Aldrich''s view, everything in Millwall is on the right track. What he has for the future and what he has now also makes his pattern and vision even higher.


    Only on the last day of the year, at night, Millwall CEO Adam met secretly in a hotel in London.


    ...


    There is no winter break in the Premier League. Aldridge puts a holiday to players who are not used to this working rhythm. By the second week of the new year, the team will gather again, but their League Cup is out.


    In the 8 into 4 game, Millwall did not crush Middlesbrough by relying on the young lineup, and was eventually eliminated by the opponent''s penalty.


    Moutinho did not show a blockbuster potential, but Aldridge still has confidence in him. After all, from the long-term team building plan, Moutinho is just Alonso''s substitute.


    Coming to the training ground in a warm coat, Aldridge looked at the player wearing warm sportswear standing in front of him and suddenly asked, "Do you know what day it is today?"


    The players looked at each other and found Aldridge smiling, expecting this to be a light topic, they asked each other.


    But many people have no idea.


    What day will it be in the middle of this month?


    Certainly not the player''s birthday as an answer.


    De Rossi slammed Alonso with his elbow and whispered: "You read a lot of books, what festivals are there recently?"


    Alonso frowned, suddenly whispering to De Rossi: "Last Sunday, it was Black Day."


    De Rossi was about to answer Aldridge''s question aloud, and suddenly closed his mouth again, turning his head to Aron Ropeway: "Boss will definitely not care about such a day."


    Alonso pondered for a moment and said, "In another two weeks, it will be the International Leprosy Festival..."


    De Rossi rolled his eyes.


    Seeing all the players in the clouds, Aldridge smiled and opened his arms and shouted: "Today is a stronger day for Millwall!"


    The players in the team felt like they were being fooled, and boos broke out collectively!


    They thought Aldridge expected to give an inspirational speech to encourage them to overcome the cold and actively train.


    Aldridge ignored the boos and laughed: "Listen to me slowly, and then you boo after listening."


    The players closed their mouths and focused on Aldridge, wanting to see what he said.


    Aldridge said inscrutablely: "Why would I say such a remark today? How can Millwall become stronger? Football bluntly is two aspects, offensive and defensive, what I want to say today is, Our offense will become stronger. The origin is in September last year."


    The players looked at each other again.


    Last September?


    As if nothing terrifying happened inside the team.


    Aldridge paced his hand and slightly curled his mouth slightly: "FIFA revised the offside rule in September last year. Passive offside was officially included in the rule. After a period of implementation, I think that it is us. It¡¯s time to use this rule. When we can make better use of the rule, we can become stronger. Thanks to FIFA, they are right to encourage offense."


    Of course, if Aldridge plays anti-defense, he will scold FIFA.


    Since it is to encourage offense, Millwall is also a representative of offensive football, so this offside rule modification will naturally benefit Millwall.


    As for why it was not mentioned before, it is because Millwall needs to stabilize his new tactical system first. Only by stabilizing himself can he derive more changes.


    No player booed Aldridge, but most people showed a thoughtful expression.


    The modification of the offside rule has caused a lot of controversial penalties throughout the European football, because the definition of passive offside is ambiguous.


    There are two types of benefits for Millwall.


    One is passive and beneficial.


    In an unintentional state, a favorable result was formed for Millwall.


    The other is to take the initiative to profit.


    In the case of intentions, Millwall used the rules to profit.


    As a top striker who often survives offside, Henry asked aloud: "Boss, how do we use this rule? I think it just reduces some misjudgments than before."


    Many teammates nodded in agreement with Henry''s statement.


    In the past, offside mainly depends on the number and offense participation.


    For example, Henry and Larsson counterattacked at the same time, and Nedvide passed a straight ball that both could receive.


    However, Henry ran a step ahead and he was offside, but Larson was not offside.


    In this state, the referee can directly raise the flag to signal Millwall offside, the offense ends, and the opponent gets a free kick.


    Directly stifling the anti-offside successful Larson''s subsequent single-handed shot opportunity against the goalkeeper.


    And now, as long as Henry does not touch the ball, does not block, does not interfere with the opponent''s goalkeeper during the run, which is the newly defined "involved" game of FIFA, then Larson has the opportunity to continue this attack.


    Of course, whether it is the new rules or the old rules, Henry is definitely offside.


    However, after passive offside is included in the rules, as long as the player who is offside is not "involved" in the game, the game will not be terminated.


    This offside modification is between the two revisions in 1994 and 2005. In 1994, it did not participate in the offense at all, and it may not be considered offside. For example, the offside player stands still or walks back, ignoring the ball The direction of development can be regarded as not participating in the offense at all, but if you have the intention of rushing to the ball and are in the offside position, you will definitely be penalized for offside.


    The offside after 2005 is "offside offside." Simply speaking, it is not offside if you don''t touch the ball, but you can''t say it completely because if you obviously interfere with the goalkeeper in the offside position, you will definitely be offside. However, in small details, for example, you will often see offside players chasing the ball, giving up halfway, giving up to the teammates who are not offside to obtain the ball, and continue to attack. This is typical, and according to the past Penalty, as long as you go to chase the ball, you will be punished instead of waiting for the moment you touch the ball, which also caused many offensive players to express their dissatisfaction, some obvious offside, the referee did not raise the flag, You have to wait until the player is exhausted to catch the ball before raising the flag to indicate offside.


    This offside revision in 2003 was very ambiguous, which made the "passive offside" cause widespread controversy. Only then did Blatter come across the "offside without touching the ball" offside blow change.


    Aldridge can''t wait for the change in 2005 to reform the team''s offense in a targeted way.


    For this offside rule modification, he also has to follow the trend and make the team as profitable as possible!

 Chapter 959： "Blood Sea Vendetta"

    Aldrich''s issues in training today are of great interest to all players.


    How to use rules to make money?


    Aldridge walked in front of Henry and said, "We want to make the best use of the rules, but we must remind the referee and tell the referee: Although I am in the offside position, I did not participate in this attack! I am passive offside, your Don¡¯t raise the flag!"


    Henry touched his bald head, still a little uncomprehending, and said, "What''s the use?"


    "Ha, what''s the use? Come, I tell you what''s the use."


    Aldridge started to point soldiers on the training ground.


    The regular four-backs were called in, letting them compress the distance and stand on the defensive position on the training ground, and then called out three more players.


    Ronaldinho, Henry, Larson.


    Aldridge let Ronaldinho take the ball in front of the defender line, then Henry ran and went offside!


    The four guards didn''t understand what was going on.


    They stared at Ronaldinho, alerting him to the time of the ball, while watching Henry and Larson.


    When Henry was offside, Ronaldinho''s pass really passed to the depth of the right side of the defense where Henry ran.


    The defenders confirmed that Henry was offside, so they relaxed and raised their hands, just to remind Aldridge that the ball was over.


    However, with their eyes wide open, they could not help seeing Henry running to the left.


    In the offside position, Henry''s running direction is opposite to the direction in which the ball rolls, and the distance gradually increases. He cannot possibly catch the ball!


    But at this moment, Larson, who was ambushing forward, received the ball in front of the baseline. He got the ball and pulled out of the deep space. At this time, he got the ball and Henry running to the other side did not offside. !


    Larson passed the ball across to Henry, who stopped the ball at his feet.


    He touched his bald head again, a little bit understood what Aldridge said about the rules of use and reminding the referee!


    A simple training and tactical exercise surprised the players of the team.


    Aldrich told them how to use this rule change in the simplest way.


    The main point is the confusion caused by the offside player itself to the opponent, disturbing the opponent''s marking plan, and reminding the referee that he is not "involved" in this attack.


    There is no clear penalty standard for not touching the ball or offside, so instead of standing on the spot and making yourself a prominent target on the ball''s rolling path, the offside player must first clarify the connection between him and this pass.


    Running away, the distance from the ball is getting farther and farther, and the referee will hesitate to see it, reducing his determination to "involve" this player in this offense.


    Secondly, the appearance of the player after the insertion is also a reminder to the sideman. The passing and running of this attack is actually the other two players, not offside!


    In this process, it will completely disrupt the opponent''s defensive layout.


    If you want to use the rules to make money, and it is not a simple and rude way, it is bound to have much higher requirements for the player''s ability.


    Previously, offense was passing and running, which can be said to be an interaction between two players.


    One pass, one run.


    Now, one more person is needed.


    Not every pass and run can be achieved. For Millwall, there are many players with excellent running awareness, so most of their offenses are players who run first, pass slowly, or simply fail to pass It is rare to see passers discovering the pass of the air when the striker does not have a sense of position. This is due to the team¡¯s tactical system and highly permeable characteristics. The first task of the forward is to capture the air and use it.


    Aldridge''s so-called use is to use more forwards to run first and teammates to pass later.


    In the case of running first, most of the time the forward has already been offside. The passer must either realize that the forward is offside, the pass was futile in the past, or the true forward passed the forward and was blown offside.


    Now, even if the striker is offside, it doesn''t matter!


    But the striker needs to clear his mind and offside is offside, but he can cover his teammates. Even if the passer passes, he runs away immediately. In other words, he will participate in the next foreseeable offense. This attack is left to others. Teammates plugged in later.


    Encourage the offense to make the game smooth, nothing more than the game is always interrupted by the referee, as long as the lineman does not raise the flag, everything will continue.


    It can be said that such passing has become a cooperation between at least three players.


    The passer, the player behind the hidden receiver, the offside position.


    What about other teams, Aldridge does not know.


    But in Millwall, using this rule well will greatly help their offense.


    Because they are now on the sidelines!


    Bilateral forward, double forward.


    There will be more concealed inward running impact impact points.


    Of course, this is also a very good reading ability for passers.


    First, realize that the goal of the first pass is offside.


    Second, with the offside teammates as cover, infiltrate the pass to the teammates who are plugged in after hiding.


    Alonso, Ronaldinho, Nedved, are the passers in the team who need to raise awareness in this regard.


    After the players of the Millwall team understood the idea of ??Audridge, Ronaldinho suddenly sighed: "Boss, why are you so cunning?"


    Hahahaha!


    All the players laughed out loud.


    Aldridge bowed his head and smiled bitterly for a moment.


    ...


    More than half of the season, after Millwall¡¯s staged results were displayed, the team was more stable and powerful than the beginning of the season. Alonso also began to play a role in the role of midfield organizer. The combination of new and old Millwall, the first Three generations of mad lions gradually opened their mouths of blood basins, and their sharp fangs intended to devour Europa again.


    Since the start of the second half of the league, the Premier League competition has become increasingly clear.


    "The champion will return to London from Manchester again!"


    In February, the Times published such a title.


    There is no doubt that the championship will be generated between Arsenal and Millwall.


    The strength and stability of the two teams this season has been strikingly similar.


    At the end of February, although Millwall failed in the FA Cup training, the young players did not surprise Audridge in the cup, but in the league, Millwall and Arsenal went hand in hand, but they did not lose. The two teams either won or even, and the gap has been swinging between 3 points, 4 points and 5 points.


    On February 21st, the Premier League finished the 26th round. After 7 rounds, Millwall only shortened the Arsenal gap by 2 points.


    In these 7 rounds, Millwall has one more win than Arsenal, and Arsenal tied one more game, still leading Millwall by 3 points!


    But the two teams opened the double-digit gap behind the team.


    Chelsea''s performance in the first half was very general, just as the "Daily Telegraph" ridiculously said: When Erickson figured out what kind of league style the Premier League is and adapted to the English air, three months have passed. .


    In addition to the impact of Ferdinand''s suspension, Manchester United also has their offensive firepower, which has declined significantly in these two seasons.


    Fanny was indeed the winner of the Premier League Golden Boot last season, but Manchester United¡¯s offensive firepower last season was the lowest in the past few seasons. This season has further declined. Only Fanny alone cannot support a giant. The required offensive firepower, and Manchester United won the championship last season, the deciding factor may be defensive, they have fewer goals than other competitors, and this season, especially in the second half, after the lack of Ferdinand, it is almost foreseeable, this is A season in which Manchester United must be disappointed.


    At the end of February, Aldridge led his team to Munich.


    In the eyes of many fans, Millwall and Bayern Munich have forged a **** hatred!


    This season, Millwall won Bayern Munich again in the 1/8 finals, which was unexpected, but in the final analysis, Bayern Munich should not blame itself for the group stage. If it can get the first place in the group, Naturally, Millwall will not be drawn.


    Heathfield has been more low-key this season.


    Last season, they also confessed that Bayern Munich is the strongest Bayern Munich in history. As a result, the UEFA Champions League group stage went home like Millwall.


    Millwall executives have a good relationship with the Bayern Munich club, but they always meet in the arena.


    To some extent, it also shows that the strength of the two teams is among the top in UEFA. Otherwise, how much of a strong team and a weak team can meet in the Champions League knockout game with high frequency?


    The UEFA Champions League this season has undergone reforms, canceling the second stage of the group stage, the 16 teams qualifying for the group stage directly catch the fight.


    In the Champions League knockout game, Aldridge will certainly not be madly attacking again. In the first round of the guest game, be cautious and do not lose or win.


    After playing with Heathfield for many years, Aldridge is very familiar with him. Bayern Munich is still playing a team-wide German tank, and Millwall is not too much in this regard.


    At the focus of the Champions League in Munich, the game reached the 70th minute and the score on the court was still 0:0.


    Millwall defended cautiously, did not invest too much in the offense, and Bayern Munich did not dare to attack aggressively. This delicate stalemate and balance has been maintained to the present.


    Aldridge was patient, and Heathfield couldn''t sit still.


    Although Millwall fell behind to Arsenal in the Premier League, Millwall''s goals scored more than 10 Arsenal.


    Why?


    As long as they score the first goal in the game, the opponents who are extremely defensive want to equalize the score and have to invest in the offense. The intensive defense no longer exists. Millwall''s wing storm often can play a **** big score.


    Among them, the Wolves were slaughtered at 9:0, Leicester City were blood-washed at 7:0, and Blackburn were defeated at 6-0. These were their brilliant results in the past two months.


    Without taking Millwall at home and going to the away game, can one steal and then die?


    Heathfield was not optimistic about the prospects. When he was about to let go, Aldridge made a substitution.


    Ram, who left Bayern Munich last summer, replaced Baines. Ashley Cole was recently injured and will only return after two weeks.


    The limitation of Baines playing the left back, or the habit of attacking, must still be based on the habit of the left foot, so his response is better, but if he changes inward, it seems a little weak, Ash Li Cole is stronger in impact, more experienced and more mature, and Ram has a congenital advantage. He is a right-footed player. In other words, he can play well through the right foot in the front waistline. Good threat.


    More than half a season has passed, and Ram has grown more than leaving Bayern Munich. At least, technically, Millwall has trained him to be more targeted.


    Mullenstin initially developed training plans for Ram with the offensive ability of the winger.


    Changing to Ram today, it seems to the outside world that Aldridge is just a substitution for a "younger to a younger".


    Actually not, it is a partial change to the offensive style routine.


    And after Ram was on the court, he quickly shocked Bayern Munich!


    The kid broke the goal in the 76th minute!


    It was on the left in front of the penalty area. Ronaldinho''s control of the ball attracted the defensive player. After Ram got the ball and crossed the middle unexpectedly, he made a sharp shot at the edge of the penalty area and the ball bypassed the back line. The far corner of the fly goal made the fans stunned.


    After scoring, Lahm reached out his face with a blank expression to signal his teammates not to come to him to celebrate.


    The teammates also slowly walked towards the backcourt.


    The three giants of Bayern Munich watching in the stands looked a little ugly.


    Looking at Ram now, it''s not like a full-back!


    In other words, an excellent linebacker!


    This was unbelievable for Bayern executives who were hesitant about renewing Ram''s contract more than half a season ago.


    They began to recall that transaction.


    Did Aldridge stare at Ram from the start?


    Millwall needs a full-back.


    Bayern Munich will not let go of the more stunning Schweinsteiger.


    Among the three conditions, only Ram seems to have a higher price as a bargaining chip and is worth letting go.


    The Bayern Munich Big Three will never have an answer unless they ask Aldridge.


    And this season''s Champions League trip, Bayern Munich seems to be planted at the foot of Millwall again.

 Chapter 960： World War One

    In the first round of the Champions League 1/8 final, Millwall took away a 1-0 victory in Munich, laying a good foundation for the promotion to the quarterfinals.


    In this game, Millwall seems to be making a facelift.


    They are no longer almost irrationally attacking, and on the basis of pursuing "one more goal than their opponents", they are closer to returning to the dominance of the past based on controlling the game.


    The outside world has no way of knowing that starting from the Champions League knockout, this game will be a watershed for the transformation of Millwall''s third-generation mad lion.


    Most of the season''s running-in and transformation had staged results, Aldridge began to refine the overall strength of the team.


    First, it slows down the rhythm instead.


    On the basis of "fast, fast, faster" in the past, the team''s skills and tactics returned to a kind of cold and silent silence when static.


    Alonso will not become Pirlo because he and Pirlo are both special and unique.


    But in pursuit of control and dominance, Aldridge has created a new philosophy of control in UEFA in Millwall!


    Southgate, Schneider, De Rossi, Alonso.


    Focusing on these four people, the team conducts "dangerous" team play in the midfield and backcourt, and masters the ball skillfully.


    Alonso is still the brain, but when attacking, he has many helpers, and the distribution range is reasonable.


    Behind him is De Rossi, Nedved in front, Southgate behind, and Schneider on the right when it comes to attack.


    In the era of European football gradually entering the "team defense", Millwall began to create a "team attack, backcourt organization, frontcourt raid" self-style.


    In offense, each player must play a very important role, with clear division of responsibilities and clear thinking.


    Dual-core still exists, but its responsibilities are more thorough and clear than ever.


    The core of the backcourt organization is led by Alonso, which brings stability to the team!


    Nedved is the lubricant of the team''s offense and defense. Ronaldinho has more space to cut in most of the time. Ronaldinho as a core of the frontcourt brings creativity!


    Weakened Nedved''s threat to the goal, because Millwall has other offensive points that become variables.


    Ashley Cole is mainly on the left and he is one of the variables.


    Ronaldinho¡¯s activities in front of the opponent¡¯s penalty area are mainly based on creating and providing changes, while Henry, Larson or Ronaldo are also variables, and this system is fine-tuned when there are players who cannot play in the middle. There are still unexpected variables, that is, Ronaldo replaced the left winger, Kaka as the attacking midfielder and so on.


    For an excellent tactical system, there must be factors that make opponents unpredictable. The third-generation mad lion will bring this to the extreme.


    The establishment of the backcourt organization system and control of the game, that is, the idea of ??ruling the ball, is also a last resort. The opponent puts the bus and wants to break the intensive defense. Aldridge must "seduce the enemy" as long as the opponent does not ignore all the outsiders and ridicule 11 players. Shrinking in the second half, Millwall''s ball control in the middle and backcourts has the effect of enticing the enemy to tear the opponent''s defense space, and when there are flaws in the current field, Millwall plays from the front line, midfield line, back line and three lines. There are hidden points of impact offensive. This is the main means for the third generation of crazy lions to attack dense defense with offensive football as the representative.


    After two weeks, at the Lion King Stadium, Millwall at the end of the home game completely destroyed Bayern Munich, the entire European football are re-examining the positioning of Millwall.


    Are they really weaker than before?


    In the Lion King stadium, Alonso showed a determined face and waved his fist fiercely after the game. De Rossi hugged him behind him, and Millwall would be proud of this overwhelming victory.


    Fans in the stands are also reluctant to leave for a long time, celebrating like a party in the stands.


    "3:0, the total score of 4:0, Millwall double play Bayern Munich headed into the quarterfinals, compared to the last round in Munich, Millwall a small victory, making people think that the strength of the two teams in between However, after watching today¡¯s game, we must overthrow that idea. Bayern Munich is known as a team-based team. However, in front of Millwall, they seem to be a bit of an axe. Millwall is skilled in the back and midfield and has a smooth pass and coordination. Sometimes there are thrilling scenes, but when Bout also participates in the pass and tears Bayern Munich''s formation vertically, they give the frontcourt teammates enough room to strike forward, and often see the picture of Millwall on the offensive end There is room for group cooperation, and Bayern Munich cannot make a combination of side and middle after halftime. Through the improvement of most of the season, Sir Hall established Alonso¡¯s midfield and backcourt organization to lay a stable offensive foundation. The environment, and the outbreak of the offensive centered on Ronaldinho, Nedved played quite well today, but when the opponent relaxes and ignores him, he will become an unpredictable firepower point in the offense. One ball, Millwall passed the triangle in front of the penalty area and then suddenly plugged in. The Nedvide inserted afterwards was completely unmarked, and the ball was sent into Bayern Munich''s goal with a single pole. This is a typical example. It can be said that Milwaukee On the basis of the delayed organization in the past, they have made new developments. They have strengthened the offensive support capabilities of the entire midfield and backcourt! It seems that Sir Hall is full of ambitions for the future. He hopes to bring Millwall with a new technical and tactical system. Back to the height of the dynasty!"


    Sending away Bayern Munich and Heathfield is very important for Millwall''s morale. This is a proof, especially for young players such as Alonso De Rossi and C Ronaldo who started today.


    Aldrich is satisfied with everything on the team. On this impact road determined to return to the top, the players on the team are ambitious and not distracted by off-site offices.


    The team''s full sprint began.


    As for the FA Cup, which also lost in 8 into 4 games, Aldridge felt that this was a good thing, and it was a burden to put it bluntly.


    In the season where the team is so fierce in the championship this season and the Champions League is also ambitious, the FA Cup is originally training. If the conditions of the league are easy, you can distract him. Focus on training, but the final moment of the season. A military training front must be a burden.


    At the end of March, Millwall ushered in the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals at home.


    The opponent is Monaco!


    In the evening of March 25.


    There was light rain in London.


    In the drizzle, Aldridge welcomed an old man in the majestic Lion King Stadium.


    Coach of Monaco, Deschamps.


    He and the young handsome Deshang talked on the sidelines for a short time, making him feel like he was really old.


    When Deschamps played for Juventus, Aldridge had already coached Millwall.


    When he played for Chelsea, Aldridge was still coaching.


    When Deschamps started to coach himself, and came to the Champions League stage to compete with Audridge, no one can ignore the passage of time. I want to ask: Where has time gone?


    Monaco looks like a famous and handsome place. In the past ten years, there was Wenger in the past, Tigana in the middle, and now Deschamps!


    Now Deschamps is full of enthusiasm, because the opponent he eliminated before leading Monaco is Real Madrid!


    The three most popular teams in UEFA, Real Madrid, AC Milan and Millwall.


    Monaco cut one, while defending champion AC Milan looked unstoppable, yesterday defeating A Coru?a 4-1 at San Siro.


    Today, Monaco faces another of the three super teams, although the pressure is great, but the outside world also has high expectations for Deschamps.


    As a coach, ambition is indispensable. The ideal should always be set higher, in case, accidentally realized?


    If Deschamps could first reverse the Galactic Warship and then cut down the mad lion, the black horse of Monaco would be too dazzling.


    Deschamps is no stranger to England. After all, he played for Chelsea briefly. He is no stranger to Millwall. No matter playing for Juventus or Chelsea, Millwall has brought him memories of not looking back.


    As for Aldridge¡¯s ¡°affable¡± greetings with him, Deschamps is now the coach. Once there was no grievance between the players and Aldridge. Now, it is to establish a friendly relationship. There are just so many faces. It is better to look down and not to look up. It is better to be good than to be evil.


    It''s just that Aldridge lamented the passage of time and still made Deschamps feel weird.


    How can it be that Aldridge''s turn for such a sigh is not coming, young master, are you thirty years old?


    This season in UEFA, the side stream is clearly stronger than the middle stream!


    Among the top teams are Millwall, and the top teams are Monaco, Porto, A Coru?a and other teams active in the Champions League.


    The Monaco reversal of Real Madrid¡¯s two-round match is a classic of the side stream bursting out of the middle stream. The sideline cooperation of the unilateral Iron Triangle in La Coru?a is also a classic. Arsenal¡¯s side counterattack, Milwaukee In the side wing storm, these representative teams are quietly changing the change in the overall technical and tactical style of UEFA. Only successful teams can play a role in promoting history.


    When both players entered the game, Deshang raised his head. For him and Monaco, every step in the Champions League is creating a miracle. This has changed dramatically with the European football pattern ten years ago. Ligue 1 The team is declining, and being able to enter the quarterfinals is already a big achievement. If you can advance to the semifinals, you will definitely succeed.


    Aldridge went through Monaco''s lineup once again. Monaco is a typical 433, center is Morientes, two wingers Guri and Rotten, the speed impact of the wing is particularly obvious.


    Monaco is a dark horse, Aldridge is not worried, on the contrary, he believes that Monaco is not difficult to deal with.


    Millwall is least afraid of opponents who dare to attack. Only pragmatic and utilitarian opponents can cause trouble for them.


    This Champions League matchup has returned to one of the most essential competitions: who scored more goals!


    The Monaco group averaged 1 ball per game, and lost 5 goals in the two rounds against Real Madrid.


    This kind of defense, the opponent came to the field and dared to put three forwards, Aldridge did not care what Deschamps was thinking, maybe he turned Real Madrid to make him think he was invincible.


    Be in the middle of the heart.


    Millwall and Arsenal will die in the league.


    Aldridge wants to fight in a battle, 180 minutes of game, 90 minutes to kill the opponent, with the energy to chase Arsenal in the league.

 Chapter 961： Guilty pleasure

    The rain is still falling, the Lion King Stadium is about to hit, and the lion fans in the stands are only worried about the team''s discomfort before Nedved''s training. For insurance reasons, Aldridge placed him on the bench. , A new generation of rising star Ronaldo entered the starting line.


    Ronaldinho hit the midfield, Ronaldo left, Henry center, Larson right.


    The order of Millwall''s offensive combination in the frontcourt has been running smoothly in the hands of Aldridge, because the comprehensiveness of the players has been further improved in the past training and competition. It will not be like some players can only shine in a fixed position. Change the location and take a break.


    Standing on the sidelines, Aldridge seemed lukewarm, but in fact a bit demure.


    Under the disguise of his calm expression, his heart was filled with countless evil pleasures.


    In the past, when they played against Lippi, Ferguson, Wenger and other famous coaches, they were already famous people. Aldrich defeated them and would have a sense of accomplishment.


    And now the inner guilty pleasure comes from defeating Porto led by Mourinho last season in the UEFA Cup final.


    Mourinho, Deschamps, Guardiola and other figures in the future, they are still well-known in the coaching circle, and some have not yet been coached, in general have not reached the top position of the handsome height.


    Although it is impossible to kill it in the bud, at this time, these future handsomes will be given a painful blow. Aldrich will irresistibly produce a thrill in his heart, similar to bullying and holding strong and weak, but he does not think Shame, there is no fairness in football circles.


    In the past, Aldridge and Millwall, like the masters in fairy tales, became famous from the weak to the strong, overcoming all difficulties.


    Now, Aldridge and Millwall are going to become the villains in those myths and stories, the ultimate BOSS.


    With the general existence of the evil spirits and dragons, Audridge is to personally strangle Deschamp, Mourinho, Ancelotti, Guardiola and all the famous football coaches in the European football world!


    On their way to their ideals with enthusiasm and eagerness to slay the dragon and the **** of destruction, personally crush all their ambitions!


    Let them understand: the strongest man who rules the European battlefield is named Millwall, you can worship it, but you can never overthrow and defeat!


    Perhaps, the inner thought is just that Aldridge wants his image in the child''s heart to become taller, because his son has always worshipped his father as a strong man.


    The strong man is not what he said.


    When the game started, Millwall passed the ball back and the offensive formation in the frontcourt was scattered. Alonso started a horizontal backward pass in the middle of the line with the pressured back.


    Monaco is full of idealism, they are also using passion to attack football to conquer everything, subvert the old order, and overthrow the rule of the strong.


    After their trident rushed through the halftime for harassment, Alonso was a little surprised and didn''t expect the other party to be so courageous!


    He then looked at the opponent''s half-time formation position, which was uncommon and very reasonable. The player''s position was distributed, keeping the distance, and it looked like a textbook.


    Is there a problem?


    The problem is big!


    Textbooks are textbooks, and textbooks are always idealistic.


    Reality often teaches you to be a new person.


    Monaco thought that the 7-man defensive line against Millwall''s trident over half, plus Ronaldinho Ronaldo, 7 defense 4, can''t help?


    It seems that it can be prevented.


    However, when Alonso made a cross pass to Schneider''s decisive forward, Schneider rushed over Roten and scored the other half. The number of Millwall attacks changed from 4 to 5.


    At the same time, Ashley Cole on the other side also moved forward quickly. He did not hesitate to look at the air, and 5 became 6.


    A poor rhythm. In an instant, Millwall not only differed in the number of offenses from the opponent''s defense, but the opponent''s seemingly tight defense line immediately began to collapse.


    Because, Schneider did not insist on taking a sidewalk.


    He directly cut inwardly to the midfield.


    His dribbling line disturbed the defensive layout of Monaco''s midfielder. When someone came to mark him, Ronaldinho received less pressure and ran freely. He made a short pass with Schneider, 2 over 1, after this cooperation, Ronaldinho directly inserted!


    The Monaco defender line marking is completely confusing!


    Ashley Cole, Henry, Larson, and Ronaldinho.


    Immediately speeding up, Millwall pressed the opposing defender line on the offensive end.


    They didn''t know how to coordinate the man-to-man defense, and they felt that Millwall was like a locust crossing and could not be prevented at all.


    The players in the backline quickly chased Ronaldinho and recovered in the penalty area. As a result, they still missed a person.


    In the use of bilateral forwards, Aldridge still has a different focus.


    Schneider''s tendency is still coping, Ashley Cole''s tendency to raid.


    Therefore, when Ashley Cole entered the penalty area and transformed into a forward, the threat target of Ashley Cole could replace a person, a person who should have been in the position of Ashley Cole now entering the penalty area: Left forward.


    C Ronaldo!


    Schneider''s long pass obviously didn''t hang into the middle of the restricted area, but went to the left side of the periphery of the restricted area.


    When Ashley Cole shot into the penalty area, Ronaldo pulled it out. This is a requirement in tactical training to maintain a sense of hierarchy of the offense. There are ambushes and two points of attack on multiple lines!


    Ronaldo stopped the ball on the left side of the penalty area, which suddenly made everyone in Monaco unthinkable.


    He dribble the ball laterally, and the continuous lateral dribble dodges the defensive player who rushed out of the penalty area. Near the center of the goal, he suddenly kicked up and shot a long shot.


    The angle is a bit positive, but the penalty area is overcrowded, the ball hits the opponent''s defender''s leg in the middle and produces a refraction. The Monaco goalkeeper Rome has made a save. I did not expect the ball to fly in the opposite direction, which is exactly the opposite direction of his save, or Say, if he doesn''t stand, the ball is within his control, but he moves and the ball enters the goal!


    "Mirwall preemptive! Dream start! The 19-year-old talented boy Ronaldo scored a goal for the team in one minute! Today, the Portuguese guy who played Nedved played really calmly, and the two talents were horizontally shaken in front of the penalty area. Angry shot, although the ball has luck, but the process is very smooth, Monaco is still inexperienced. When Millwall players poured into their penalty area, they could clearly see that they were in a panic and missed C Ronaldo so that he could Easily received Schneider''s pass and completed the goal!"


    Ronaldo was rushing to celebrate on the sidelines, excited, and the fans of the Lions did not hesitate to applaud and cheer. They looked forward to Ronaldo and were full of expectations. They firmly believed that this Portuguese kid could completely take the position of Nelson in the near future and become Milwaukee. The second hero king of Seoul, or, as our young man''s mantra: every player is special. C Ronaldo will become a special existence.


    Ronaldo''s growth is very obvious this season. The European Golden Boy Award seems to have a benign stimulus to him. Aldridge has no concerns about Ronaldo. Many experienced seniors on the team are helping Ronaldo grow up. He just hoped that Ronaldo could be distracted by off-site affairs as much as possible.


    Many young people can''t escape the stage of being in the limelight.


    Ronaldo is no exception. Dyeing hair and wearing earrings may have a sense of fashion and avant-garde, but he has also been described as a **** outside the field. Aldridge also feels helpless. Except for occasional reminders, Aldridge has no extra time Come worry about these broken things.


    Fortunately, he knows that Ronaldo is only a young man who is immature and has a lot of temptations in the flower world. Who can be completely undisturbed?


    Trial, experience, etc. have accumulated experience, there is a precipitation in the soul, and the inner is washed out of lead, Cristiano Ronaldo will naturally mature and focus on career.


    As long as it''s not too much, such as recruiting prostitutes, having **** parties, Audridge will naturally not say much. A star like Ronaldo who has become famous, young and handsome, and rich, has his own tricks. ''S attraction, want to put an end to him not to be seduce by those socializing ladies, except for himself, no one can change anything for him.


    Aldridge just applauded to encourage the player to make two hits. Suddenly his nose was a little itchy. He quickly lowered his head and took a handkerchief from his pocket to cover his nose and sneezed.


    This scene made the narrator laugh.


    "It seems that there was a light rain today and the weather turned cold again. Sir Hall seems to have a cold. This is a big problem. If he really has a cold, he will definitely leave his job. Haha, his opponents must be very happy."


    A cold is similar to the "cancer" alarm in the club, because once it is transmitted, it is a large-scale hidden danger. Such a blow may ruin a team''s efforts throughout the season.


    But Aldridge must have been suffering from a cold, or suddenly his nose tickled, and he quickly returned to normal without any problems.


    Deshang''s expression did not change much, he just signaled the team not to lose confidence on the sidelines.


    Aldrich thinks Deschamps is naive.


    Facing Millwall''s world-class offensive firepower, Monaco does not have world-class defensive ability. Since it is so, unwilling to practise intensive defense pragmatically, do you want to beat Millwall?


    Just like they face Real Madrid, it¡¯s not that Real Madrid¡¯s offensive firepower is not enough. In two rounds, Real Madrid played 5 goals in Monaco, which is already very good. It is almost the same as 6 goals in 6 games in the Monaco group stage. The reason why Monaco can The promotion was due to Real Madrid''s defensive problems, top-heavy, and also allowed Monaco to play five. Then, Monaco advanced with an away goal.


    Perhaps, Deschamps had high hopes for himself, not defensively, conceding the ball, but what he expected. However, today it seems that it is a bit early to lose the ball.


    Monaco played away today. At the Bernab¨¦u, they lost 4 goals. At the Lion King Stadium, as long as they can score, no more than 3 goals are lost. What can Deschamps not accept?


    Aldridge made a gesture to the team before restarting the kick.


    Monaco kicked off and Millwall''s overall formation retreated.


    Deschamps glanced at the driving, and it suddenly became hot.


    Could it be that the young coach scored a counterattack?


    He can remember how pragmatic and strong Juventus faced Millwall.


    Millwall is really determined to fight back and defend the advantage of a ball. I am afraid Monaco will not have much advantage even if he returns to the home court.


    So he directed the team to resolutely attack.


    After 5 minutes, Deshang was pale.


    Aldridge smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth and gave a thumbs up to Henry on the court.


    Millwall counterattacked Monaco''s defense.


    Alonso instigated a diagonal pass, Cristiano Ronaldo drove to the defender''s line and crossed to Ronaldinho. The latter picked a pass to the penalty area. Henry succeeded in the offside and volleyed the ball into the opponent''s goal.


    2: 0!

 Chapter 962： Handsome, goodbye

    "Hahaha, Monaco is estimated to have just woken up, just warmed up, opened his eyes, and fell behind by two goals! Millwall rewrote the score to 2:0 through the two blitz after the opening, one was a sudden outbreak of positional warfare , A counterattack. In the Premier League, Arsenal fans always advertise how their team plays gorgeously, and fans of the mad lions will disdainfully reply: you will only have a strong counterattack, but it is better than counterattacks, mad lions Also far superior to you! This is not an empty talk or a badly refuted rebuttal, Millwall fans have the confidence to say so, because they started by counterattack, and their opponents will frequently use intensive defense in order not to give them space to counterattack. However, Monaco does not have this kind of consciousness. Look at the speed of C Ronaldo''s dribbling on the side, and the speed of Henry''s sprint. The picture of the return of the Monaco player in the frontcourt shows everything: they are farther and farther away from the ball! "


    Deschamps was confused.


    According to Millwall''s counterattack threat, they didn''t have to use their soldiers to suppress the situation, and they could do everything by relying on the trident. If there is one more Ronaldinho, how can this be prevented?


    Each of the four players in the frontcourt has the ability to use one-on-one to eat opponents with speed, especially Ronaldinho and Henry are the biggest threats. They give them enough space, and neither one can defend themselves!


    Deshang, who had recovered, immediately shrunk the team back.


    Aldridge made another gesture on the sidelines: Millwall firmly defended and controlled the rhythm.


    Next, the Millwall formation looks more balanced, but the midfield pass cooperates tacitly, firmly controls the ball, and uses the pass coordination to consume the opponent''s frontline harassment of the player''s physical fitness.


    Perhaps the outside world does not understand the significance of Millwall doing this.


    But the effect is very intuitive in the eyes of Millwall coaching staff.


    For example, when Morientes withdrew from the midfield as a striker, Alonso controlled the ball in front of him. Will Morientes go to grab?


    He is more or less defensive and harassing.


    The same applies to Rotten and Guri.


    So they kept running and sprinting for a short distance in a small area, trying to steal the ball and directly hit Millwall''s counterattack.


    But Millwall''s very tacit cooperation in the midfield and backcourt made them pass the ball without mistakes.


    And to give Millwall more pressure, the Monaco midfielder will have to come up and put pressure on him.


    In this way, as long as the midfield line is slightly loosened, Millwall''s offense will advance to the front, there is more room to play in the front field, and the success rate of threatening offense will be further improved!


    At the same time, even if this wave of offense is not successful, it doesn¡¯t matter, Monaco wants to fight back, but the trident doing harassment work in the frontcourt may have slowed down in a short period of time, or because of the harassment, the position is not good, Millwall defends When they were, it was easier to isolate them, that is, to cut the opponent''s offensive formation, so that they lost contact with their teammates.


    After 2:0, 20 minutes passed, Millwall expended the opponent''s physical energy by making the ball pass quickly, and targeted Monaco''s offense through team defense.


    Rotten and Guri did not succeed in going inside. The combination of Alonso and De Rossi''s midfielder coverage is very wide, especially to fill the free ribs of the back line, specifically to restrain the opponent''s winger from turning into the inside.


    The winger after the bottom cross was only Morantes in the middle. He was difficult to accomplish with Nesta and Southgate.


    Alonso began to enter the room with the role of controlling the game rhythm and the metronome. When the game came to the 30th minute, Monaco became familiar with Millwall¡¯s tepid routine of passing back and forth, and some could not hold back to attack. They fought back twice in a row, and the team''s overall running and scrambling became more and more wild. Alonso saw that the opponent was looking up, so he quickly launched a wave of fast breaks.


    Suddenly he no longer passed the cross to the wing player, but directly slid the ball deep into the wing, and the old demon Larson ran out of the air. This long-distance slant plug, dangerous pass, is to speed up signal.


    Would Larson not know?


    Ronaldinho approached him on the side, but Alonso passed the ball behind Ronaldinho, making the Monaco defensive player unprepared.


    Behind Ronaldinho, Alonso dared to rush up, stopped the ball and made a trip to distract the Monaco midfielder, then he handed the ball to Ronaldinho who was inserted in front of the running position. He then continued to rush into the penalty area, Henry''s pass, Ronaldinho''s running position, the tacit understanding of passing and running was staggering.


    Single pole!


    Roma abandoned the goal and Ronaldinho was heading towards the goal, but when Rome rushed over, he moved the ball to the bottom line and changed to the goalkeeper. The shooting angle was close to zero angle. Ronaldinho did not succeed. Before knocking across the goal line, Ronaldo, who rushed to the other side, sent the ball into the goal.


    Lion fans in the stands of the Lion King Stadium stood up collectively, applauding and cheering desperately.


    "Milwall, pass the ball into the goal of Monaco! Alonso, Larson, Ronaldinho, Henry, Ronaldo, Millwall, this goal is the pinnacle of teamwork. It¡¯s so beautiful! C Ronaldo scored twice! It¡¯s really unexpected. Monaco, who eliminated Real Madrid, has no counterattack in front of Millwall!"


    Deshang was so stunned that he felt incredible, and he was already in shock!


    In front of Millwall''s coach seat, Aldridge''s chin gently raised his expression.


    At this moment, not only the entire European football are re-examining Millwall, but also re-evaluating the young master!


    At the beginning of the first full season when Aldridge returned to coach Millwall, people did not look at Aldridge again, and even felt that Aldridge stepped back.


    Why?


    Because Millwall is not the top team in the Premier League.


    Because Millwall lost in the first half of the league.


    Because Millwall exposed problems in many draws.


    because¡­¡­


    There are countless reasons to belittle Audridge and kick him off the altar.


    Aldridge never refuted a sentence, he will only do one thing in front of the media: what is good for the team.


    On the contrary, the more the outside world degrades Aldridge, and the more he regards him as an ordinary person, that is better and beneficial to the team. Why should Aldridge refute? Why prove it? Why should we participate in this boring war of words?


    If all opponents regard him as an ordinary person, what''s wrong?


    Moreover, the problem exposed by Millwall is reality!


    If the team is okay and perfect, why does Klinsmann leave get out of class?


    Why did Aldridge build the third generation of crazy lions?


    External information capture is always lagging, relative to the parties.


    After defeating Bayern Munich in two rounds, Millwall went from a building to a new stage: excellence!


    Now they are working well in all aspects, not far from the final result that Aldridge expects, their strength can be improved, but there will not be too much fluctuation, another very important improvement depends on the record, depends on the championship!


    Alonso, De Rossi, Ram, Cristiano Ronaldo must also taste the championship, let them hold the championship trophy, and let them wear the championship medal. The excitement and temperament of this reward are one A hundred years of training, a hundred years of ordinary competition can not bring.


    And in relative terms, there is only one league champion in a season and only one championship in a year.


    If you don¡¯t win the championship, it¡¯s someone else¡¯s.


    The champion will be pleased, except for the champion, only loss and frustration mean failure!


    Failure is not only the mother of success, but also the cradle of disaster.


    The blow to the players breeds disaster factors within the team!


    The champion is not only a symbol of success.


    It is also a must-have for the top giants to maintain stable development!


    Only 30 minutes in the first half, Monaco trailed by 3 goals.


    Deschamps can no longer calm down.


    Monaco must score! Goal! Goal!


    In the 42nd minute, after the Larsennec cut off the penalty area and Evra knocked the ball from behind, the referee''s finger kicked the whistle.


    Deschamps closed his eyes in despair.


    Monaco fans who came to the Lion King Stadium to cheer for the visiting team are heartbroken!


    Evra excitedly defended the head referee, and Larson also got emotional.


    He scolded Evra mercilessly: "What are you protesting? Do you think I''m falling?"


    Evra, who had run away from Millwall, dared not face off with Larson, and left the incident when his teammates came to appease him.


    As Larson''s playing time decreased this season, the position of the team''s first penalty player was given to Henry, but today, Henry gave the penalty to Larson.


    Larsson took a penalty.


    "Millwall led Monaco 4-0 in the first half. Monaco was clearly not sufficiently prepared for this game. It is no exaggeration to say that they thought they met a second Real Madrid. In fact, they did not. Madrid¡¯s more convincing Millwall! At the Santiago Bernab¨¦u, they lost 4 goals in 90 minutes. At the Lion King¡¯s Stadium, 45 minutes, only 45 minutes, they were penetrated four times and even scored one goal. No, even after finishing with this score, we have reason to conclude that Millwall will reach the semi-finals of the Champions League this season."


    Deschamps walked into the player''s channel without blood.


    Aldrich, after returning to the locker room, said lightly to the never-ending mad lions: "Although I don¡¯t want to say that, I must tell you that I want the championship, the Champions League, the league, I want it, so, We have to be realistic. If the score of 4:0 is maintained until the end of the game, we will advance to the semi-finals. Why? Because even Real Madrid and AC Milan cannot return to the home game with 4 goals behind. And we have to cheer on Arsenal in the league. The league is not a knockout game. The league needs us to be more stable and stronger. Therefore, we have to fight back in the second half. We have to make the rhythm slower most of the time. Anxiety, when our opponents collapse, we will spend our energy striking their defense line, we must make the most reasonable use of physical energy. Do you understand?"


    All the people will share the same voice: "Understand!"


    As the team is getting better, Aldridge has more authority in the team than before, because on behalf of his efforts, the direction of building the team is correct.


    The older players have established a tacit cooperation with him, and they trust each other very much. Of course, as Southgate said to the media: willing to die for the boss. Such remarks need not be taken seriously.


    Young players, or players who haven¡¯t worked with Aldridge for a long time, are deeply honoured and cherish everything.


    Aldridge was right.


    In the entire European football, there will not be a team that is really confident that it can reverse the disadvantage of 4 goals in 90 minutes.


    Monaco is no exception!


    Deschamps saw Millwall playing defense mainly in the second half, so he was naturally not reconciled.


    If it ends at 4:0, the remaining 90 minutes are meaningless.


    However, Monaco still feared Millwall''s counterattack, they did not dare to attack, they could only strengthen the midfield.


    The score didn''t change until the 70th minute when Aldridge replaced Larson and Ronaldinho with Villa and Kaka.


    Deschamps thought the opportunity was coming, and ordered the team to desperately attack.


    In the 74th minute, Kaka started from the midfield and backcourt and staged a wonderful performance that assisted Villa in breaking the ball after a 40-yard attack!


    "This is why Millwall fans dare to say that if they use counterattacks as the core of tactics, they are definitely more gorgeous than Arsenal, and there is absolutely no reason why their opponents can limit them! They can cooperate with teams and have personal long-range attackers, Monaco In the end, only Henry and C Ronaldo can be restricted, but they can no longer stare at Villa. The two new players have completed a perfect match. 5:0, Monaco¡¯s UEFA Champions League tour this season, only It''s time for garbage."


    After this goal appeared, Aldridge replaced Schneider with Ramos.


    Deshang gritted his teeth!


    Aldrich, you''re so deceiving!


    Was it humiliating for the Champions League quarter-finals to actually use a kid under 18 to make substitutions?


    Whether he was humiliated, Aldridge didn''t care.


    He just gave Ramos a birthday present.


    It will be Ramos¡¯s 18th birthday in 5 days. Aldridge will put him on the field today, and let him stand on the stage of the Champions League quarter-finals, which is a gift.


    Ramos was full of fighting spirit, and was always instructed by Aldrich to be instilled in the task after playing before he played.


    Why did Aldrich''s on-site command make his colleagues afraid?


    Because in many cases, "substitution", in fact, has the purpose of tactical adjustment.


    Players in the same position may play different roles.


    For example, the center can be an infiltrating type, a pure shooter, or a column center.


    The same is true of the full-back.


    When Monaco was so desperate to get an away goal, Ramos, who was not afraid of the tiger, was really "humiliated" by Mondeco after receiving the Aldridge tactical instruction.


    He boldly pressed the assist on the right, and in the 83 minutes of a counterattack, he entered the penalty area and returned to the bottom to pass the assist. Kaka inserted and broke the goal!


    When the game ended, the Monaco players collapsed and collapsed!


    Aldridge walked steadily towards Deschamps, intending to shake hands with the opponent after the match, but seeing Deschamps staying in place, he had to pat the opponent''s arm gently and twisted away.


    Goodbye young master who became famous in 2004, one of them, goodbye!

 Chapter 963： sad story

    After the game, no media filmed the evil smile in the corner of the Lion King Stadium player channel when the young handsome one-handed pocket left.


    6:0 Massacre of Monaco.


    No matter how miraculously Deschamps eliminated Real Madrid before and was regarded as one of the most anticipated young coaches in Europe''s next generation, all this seems to have become a stepping stone for Aldridge.


    Of course, no one would be surprised when Aldridge defeated Deschamps.


    When coaching the team was full of invisible conflicts and dangerous, the fierce struggle was concentrated in the 90 minutes of a game, and when Aldridge came home, the greenery was gone, as if the players were switching roles on the court. Derich also regularly performs perfect role transitions between career and family.


    There are some small "contradictions" in the family.


    Earl and Burt should be of school age.


    Previously, tutoring was just foreshadowing, laying the foundation for their better primary education.


    By age, Aldridge doesn¡¯t want his children to be special, especially because he lacks more connections and interactions with his peers, which is not a good thing for their growth.


    He and Yiwen have been choosing schools recently. They certainly cannot send their children to ordinary public schools. After all, there are hidden dangers of insecurity in the environment. In places like Britain, there are naturally ¡°noble¡± schools and social elites. Business crocodiles, high-ranking political officials, etc., their children naturally need more security protection and education and management quality guarantee.


    Aldridge is choosing a school, and his two sons are not happy to go to school.


    Burt just wanted to go to the Millwall training base every day and play football with the children.


    Earl¡¯s situation is more complicated. Since this spring, he will not go to the Millwall youth training base. Although many coaches say that Earl is very talented, but playing football day after day, Earl can¡¯t stand monotony. He is even more colorful, like recently, he was addicted to computer games, even after Aldridge lost his temper, ran to grandpa''s house, continue to play computer games......


    At dinner, Aldridge was discussing these issues with Ewen, and Burt and Earl bowed their heads to dinner and did not want to speak, as if Aldridge sent them to school, but abandoned them.


    "Andrew called today to say that he has helped Burt and Earl register for Eaton College in advance."


    Yiwen said slightly helplessly.


    Aldridge has lived in the UK for many years, and naturally knows the famous Eaton College of the British Noble College. That is the aristocratic college where the royal family will send children to study. It is almost certain that if you go there, you will go there again after five or six years. Come out, even if you are a waste, but you must have been alumni with many elites from all walks of life in the future, good luck, maybe you will have a huge network resources covering both political and business fields.


    He smiled and said: "Andrew deliberately made trouble? Isn''t the age of Eaton public school?"


    "13 years old."


    "So, he is making trouble."


    "Maybe it''s really kind. It sounds like he said something very reasonable. First register, book a place, and then deposit two places in the account: Burt and Earl. The tuition required for several years, the cost of living, etc. , Anyway, probably hundreds of thousands of pounds, in case, in case, after six or seven years, the Hall family is as poor as possible, at least, Burt and Earl are able to enter Eaton public school and live a stable life in high school, waiting for them to graduate the day , 18 years old, also has the ability to self-reliance."


    Aldridge was dumbfounded and had to admit that Andrew¡¯s idea was a little farsighted, but the probability that it would happen might not exceed 0.01%.


    Before he had finished his meal, Burt and Earl put down the cutlery to go upstairs, and Aldridge immediately shouted, "Come back, sit down, we need to talk."


    The two little guys have been reprimanded by Aldridge recently, and they are also a little afraid of their father.


    With his head sagged, the two brothers sat side by side across the table, and Bonnie, the youngest daughter sitting in the baby chair between Aldridge and Ewen, laughed happily, and did not know why she suddenly laughed. Ewen felt that the atmosphere should be at this time Seriously, he picked up the handkerchief and wiped the food debris from Bonnie''s mouth and picked her upstairs. Bonnie''s happy boy voice was particularly sweet, at least Aldridge sounded like this, Burt and Earl I don''t know.


    Although Aldridge also loses his temper, he thinks he is an enlightened father who will communicate with his children, be reasonable, and very patient. Only when the children are simply rebellious will they get angry.


    He looked serious and opened the door: "Today, let¡¯s talk about your schooling. This problem must be solved today. I don¡¯t know if you found it, our neighbors, your friends, Alan, Kyle, Dennis, etc. , They will all go to school, they will know more partners in the school, why are you not willing to go?"


    The two brothers raised their heads, and Earle kicked Burt''s foot under the table. I don''t know if it was Burt''s elder brother, so he needed to come forward.


    Burt did not shy away, but also asked seriously, "Dad, if I go to school, it will affect me playing football and will make me unable to become a big star."


    Aldridge was stunned. He didn''t actually expect his children to be in the football industry in the future. It was like Earl gave up training. He didn''t take it seriously and smiled.


    Child, three minutes of heat, what''s so strange?


    But Burt has been persevering for almost a year, and has never been tired. It seems that he is very determined to become a star in the future.


    Aldrich said seriously: "I went to school to enrich my knowledge and expand my horizons. Maybe you feel that it will be more fun to play something else than to play football when you grow up?"


    "No, I want to play football when I grow up and become the best star on the planet, the best star in history."


    Burt''s answer made Aldridge frown, and Earl looked at the big brother under the dining table and gave a thumbs up.


    Good kind!


    Aldridge sighed and continued: "Actually, playing football does not conflict with learning."


    Not only Burt, but Earl''s eyes became suspicious.


    In order to confirm his own words, Aldridge went on to say: "Let me give you an example? Do you know who Socrates is?"


    Burt immediately raised his hand and replied: "I know! The legendary Brazilian superstar Socrates! His brother is Lay, who played for Paris Saint-Germain, Millwall used to be with Lay in the European Cup of Winners Cup. Do it!"


    "Cough, far away! You know Socrates is good, he plays very well? Brazil''s golden generation, but he not only plays well, he also has another identity, doctor, doctor, that No one can get the title casually. From his youth, he graduated from high school and went to college to study, he learned while playing football..."


    Socrates is a true schoolmaster!


    Before Aldridge finished his speech, Burt retorted: "No, no, dad, you said it was wrong. How could it be the same as it was a few decades ago? Millwall''s coach often talks about : The competition in modern football is becoming more and more intense, the training requirements are more stringent, and players need to pay more and more..."


    Aldridge hated this coach who said these words and was heard by Burt!


    Don¡¯t let me know who you are, and promise not to kill you!


    Aldridge''s right hand held his forehead as if he was thinking. Earl''s mouth was already raised. It seemed that Dad had no reason to stand!


    They will win this "war"!


    Aldrich sorted out his emotions and said, "Well, Socrates is not counted. Do you know who Fran is?"


    "I know, I know! Did Fran play for Manchester United before?"


    Burt raised his hand again.


    "Correct."


    "He plays for A Coru?a now! It''s strange that he performed poorly at Manchester United, but in A Coru?a, it suddenly caught fire!"


    "Ah, who said no, in A Coru?a, Fran, Belleron, Romero, this left-side offensive iron triangle compressed the football field to the size of a basketball court, but unfortunately there are certain limitations, Anche Loti restrained La Coruna the day before yesterday, just wondering if AC Milan will relax its vigilance, eh? Cough, talk about business, talk about business, well, you know who Fran is, then Okay. Fran, finished elementary school in France, finished high school in Italy, and at the age of 16, he applied for a university in Argentina to study political science. He is proficient in five foreign languages! But he is still very famous."


    Aldridge said Fran¡¯s academic career in exaggerated tone, but saw Burt stunned, and Earl whispered softly: "I now understand why he was called poorly at Manchester United..."


    Aldridge is going to be mad!


    He smiled angrily and asked, "Er, what do you mean? Do you mean that Fran is underperforming at Manchester United because he likes to study, isn''t he?"


    Earl turned his head to ignore Aldridge, and Burt frowned for a moment and shook his head: "Yeah, why did he not perform well at Manchester United? Maybe it was distraction learning!"


    Aldridge was anxious and said, "How does this matter?"


    "Why doesn''t matter? Dad, let me ask you, Barak, do you know?"


    The quirky Earl asked solemnly.


    Aldridge was almost stunned, patting his chest and saying, "Baby, are you asking the wrong person? Barak? Are you talking about the German midfielder Barack?"


    Earl nodded seriously.


    If not his own son, Aldridge was too lazy to care about each other.


    "Barack was your father''s disciple. When Bayern Munich visited the Lion King Stadium at the beginning of the month, Barack also came to the locker room to visit your father in advance, oh, and Klose."


    Aldridge stared at Earl with a childish look.


    Earl said seriously: "It''s good to know who he is. Barack submitted the application for admission to the Cologne Sports Institute not long ago..."


    Aldridge heard this, and laughed at the table: "Look, see, even a famous player like Ballack is going to go to school, why do you not go to school?"


    Earl strongly smiled and looked directly at Aldridge, saying, "But the Cologne Sports Academy rejected Barak''s application on the grounds that the Cologne Sports Academy considered Barak as a professional player''s training and competition task, Barack There can be no more energy to complete school."


    Aldridge''s smile froze.


    It turns out that Barak is not a school bully. This is a sad story.


    He really wanted to drag Earl over and beat him up!

 Chapter 964： Ideal and reality

    Aldridge was furious.


    Burt blinked secretly towards his younger brother Earl, as if the two were acting in tacit agreement: the brothers were in one heart and their profits were flat.


    Not at all. This is the awakening of Dad.


    Aldridge took a deep breath and squeezed out a smile: "Okay, let''s talk about German players. Bierhoff, have you heard?"


    Burt replied for the first time: "I heard and heard, the German striker is very powerful."


    "Well, I heard that. I told you that just two years ago, in 2002, Bierhof received a university diploma!"


    "Wow!"


    Burt exclaimed.


    Earl was first shocked, and then turned to ask Burt: "Is the man that Dad said, is that the player that Germany retired last year?"


    Burt nodded solemnly.


    Earl turned his head and asked Aldridge: "Dad, how old is this year than Erhoff?"


    "Hey, you''re asking the right person. Your father, when I was studying opponents, was more concerned about the age of the opponent''s players. When I played against AC Milan before, Bierhof was an AC Milan player. I think about it, he , It should be over 35 years old."


    Aldrich only reacted after he finished speaking. He was unconscious and looked at Earl with a guilty conscience. This son, who is not cute at all, pretended to be in a sudden enlightenment and asked, "Dad, a man over 35 years old this year. People, graduated from university 2 years ago, when did he enter university?"


    Aldrich scratched his head unwilling to speak.


    Under Earl''s continuous questioning, Audrey said only one word: "1988."


    Earl froze, thinking he was wrong.


    After careful consideration, I realized that I didn''t learn math well.


    Almost got 2002 minus 1988 equals 4...


    "Dad, I''m so tired of going to college. It will take 14 years to graduate?"


    In this regard, Bierhoff may not be considered a bachelor. Anyone who needs 14 years to graduate after almost 30 semesters can only be classified as a scum.


    Aldridge watched the two sons sniggering and suddenly said without a word, "Aren''t you the main goalkeeper? Lehman! He started to study economics in 1992, listen to him in What did you say in an interview with Fleet Street?''Some goalkeepers receive too little education. A good goalkeeper must maintain 90 minutes of concentration on the game, and sometimes even keep his concentration for 120 or 150 minutes. At this point, the best way is to focus on school at school. If you drop out of school at the age of 16, you can¡¯t really devote yourself to the game.''Listen, listen, this is the truth!''


    "Hahahaha."


    This time, even Burt didn''t think how reasonable Aldridge said.


    The two bear children laughed out loud, leaving Aldridge very faceless. Earl saw Aldrich¡¯s face change, afraid of his father¡¯s madness, and quickly said: ¡°Dad, Lehman is excellent, but you will think he is the best The goalkeeper? Isn¡¯t it? There are many better goalkeepers than Lehman. Are they all learning like Lehman?"


    Aldrich was so angry that he began to persuade his two sons with some untenable reasons.


    "Thuram, you must know, but you don''t know, he is like a writer outside of playing football, he can stay in the library all day to study literature, he..."


    "Dad, I''m tired of playing football. I can read books when I relax, but I don''t have to go to school."


    Burt''s words made Aldridge completely unable to say anything.


    Aldridge is stuck in a state of mental distress. I don¡¯t know how to persuade his son. Playing football and learning are perfectly compatible. Perhaps, deep in his heart, he doesn¡¯t want his son to choose the future alone when he is not mentally mature. The success rate in sports is very low and the risks are great.


    Seeing Aldridge speechless, Burt spoke, his young face filled with firmness.


    "Dad, I think playing football is my dream, and I am confident that I will continue to work hard and never give up! I must become a star!"


    Aldridge looked at Burt in a state of distraction.


    ideal? dream?


    For more than 99% of people, dreams are reality, money beauties, career love, this is the realization of ideals, as for governing the country and the world, that is out of reach nonsense.


    But in the ideal description that most people proclaim, the ideal should often be separated from reality and away from reality, otherwise, it will become vulgar.


    Like many famous players in the world, they can naturally say that playing football is a dream, but in the past, when they lived in slums, they didn¡¯t even have the opportunity to get an education. They would either become street ghosts or play football In the future, to put it bluntly is to make money, but the more money you make, the more and more famous you become. It has become a highly anticipated existence, and you can idealize this inspirational history of struggle.


    But to really say that it is out of reality and completely free to pursue dreams, the idealistic player really exists in contemporary European football, and it presents a very beautiful and romantic image in front of the public.


    The only contemporary who has won five Champions Leagues and completed the four consecutive Champions League Pirlo!


    Pirlo is the son of the steel king. He can play football for money, and even at first he has a disagreement with his family. He wants to walk on the path of pursuing dreams. For him, football is the simplest dream.


    He succeeded. The world understood Pirlo''s family background, and his vision was different. As in the future in China, Chinese football commentators would say that Pirlo is a role model for all of China''s rich second generation.


    Counting ahead, and Viali, the son of the Italian consortium, you can¡¯t imagine that he grew up in a medieval castle with more than 60 rooms in his home. He didn¡¯t go in all by himself, and Bierhof The heir of a German energy company, he studied economics and got a diploma, not to enrich the image, but to manage the business in the future. No, now the company is managed by his brother, and there is Biel on the company website. Photos of Hoff playing...


    As for those who have not become famous in the future or now, Fabregas, who came to London last fall, dared to venture into England at an early age. Why? Really thought Wenger could dig him up with a three-inch tongue? After all, Fabregas'' family background is still a certain factor. People have money, they are not afraid of failure, and they can afford it. As for why there is a rare action such as the "back-up method", it is because they have money and don''t care about money. He is also about the same as his contemporary Pique. As the second generation of the rich, there is a retreat in itself. Unlike the young footballers who came out of the slums, they made a wrong step. Maybe the fate of a lifetime may have turned upside down. Naturally, they will be careful. Cautious.


    Aldridge has been thinking for a long time, his situation is rather special.


    Because in the end, he didn¡¯t have a huge personal industry. He was just a speculator in the investment market, and all he had was money. Going further, if his son wanted to inherit his property, he would almost be in a state of empty space. .


    First of all, Millwall Football Club cannot be viewed as a profit organization.


    In addition, the financial market investment of Aldrich, after more than ten years, he faces the same risks as everyone in the world.


    Therefore, he hoped that the two sons could study more, study hard, and be a little patient. In the future, they can take the money to re-do business, and go to help the elder brother or the second brother.


    Thinking of this, Aldridge suddenly felt sad in his heart.


    The eldest brother and the second brother both laid a foundation for a career that can continue as long as it is not a big change. Instead, it is himself. In addition to having money, it seems that how to make money from money 20 years later has no idea.


    But in the final analysis, as long as it is not squandered by oneself, future generations are squandered, and now this family property is enough for generations of children.


    No matter how far away, Aldridge could not think so much.


    "Dad, you didn''t go to school, Burt set the goal earlier than you, is that bad?"


    Earl''s words made Aldridge feel as if he had been taken seriously.


    Suddenly, he saw a little pride in Burt''s heart, and said that aspirations were not in the younger age, and that Burt was able to make a volunteer at a young age, and he had persisted for a year.


    Why can''t you believe him? Support him?


    Aldridge smiled at Burt and said, ¡°Well, you¡¯ve been studying at Millwall¡¯s football school since summer. This is the bottom line.¡±


    A football school is definitely different from a regular school. The former carries the word football, and it inevitably focuses on football training.


    Burt nodded firmly and smiled.


    Earl cheered, but saw Aldridge cast his eyes on him, and said with a deep voice: "As for you, you must go to the school I selected for you."


    Elton was in a hurry and shouted: "It''s not fair! Dad, you didn''t go to school!"


    "I graduated from elementary school."


    "Grandpa of your elementary school transcript showed me, many failed! Grandpa said you are naughty every day in school, not to learn at all!"


    "Cough, you and your brother are in different situations. He concentrates on playing football and strives to become a professional athlete in the future. I believe in him. What about you? Why don''t you go to school?"


    "I also play football!"


    "Forget it, you play football for a few days, then shoot a few days of advertising, and then quarrel to play here, play there, and hide at home to play computer games, you have to go to school, no negotiation."


    Earl''s cheek gang wanted to refute but was speechless. His three-minute hot personality, for more than a year, could be considered by Aldridge.


    "Okay, that''s it!"


    Aldrich decided that the two sons were happy and worried, Burt was content, and Earl was full of frustration. On the way upstairs, he complained to Burt: "You don¡¯t help me!"


    Burt said to him: "If you don''t keep playing with me, you will definitely become a big star in the future."


    Earl patted his head and sighed: "Kill me, training day after day, boredom is dead."


    ...

 Chapter 965： Sprint

    In April, in the match against Monaco, Aldridge made a team rotation. The 6-0 advantage established in the first round made the second round of the game completely a walkthrough.


    Monaco¡¯s ambitions were met, and Deschamps did not admit defeat, but Millwall¡¯s group of aggressive teenagers and Audridge¡¯s pragmatic anti-anti-tactics made them lose in Monaco, but they still advanced to the Champions League half with a total score of 8:3. finals.


    On the same day, their semifinal opponents came out.


    After familiar with the Premier League, Eriksson also pragmatically played anti-anti-tactics. Chelsea began to enter the best position since November last year. However, they entered the state too late, and there is no hope of contention in the league, but instead They did well in the Champions League and eliminated Arsenal in the quarter-finals. Then they will compete with Millwall for the final ticket.


    In the Champions League this season, the most anticipated final in the outside world will be Millwall and AC Milan''s arrogance to Schalke Stadium to continue the unfinished war in the European Super Cup.


    At least on the side of Millwall, their semifinal opponent is Chelsea, and Millwall is obviously more likely to advance than Chelsea.


    At the same time, in the other half, AC Milan defeated A Coru?a 4:1 in the first round. It seems that the second round has also lost its suspense. No matter who advances to the semifinals of Lyon and Porto, they will also face AC Milan in the semifinals. Will not be more optimistic about the outside world.


    However, on this day, the Champions League appeared shocked.


    AC Milan was staged a 4:0 remake by A Coruna!


    Ancelotti''s black history of being "reversed" adds another page that can''t be looked back on.


    The defending champion is out!


    UEFA Champions League semi-finals.


    Millwall.


    Chelsea.


    A Coruna.


    Porto.


    The media described it as: the war between the super powerhouse and the three dark horses.


    April 10.


    Premier League round 32.


    Arsenal defeated Liverpool 4:2 at home.


    Millwall beat Manchester United 3-1 at home.


    The final sprint of the Premier League competition officially kicked off, and the finale is near!


    Millwall is still 3 points away from Arsenal!


    However, the outside world is more optimistic about Arsenal. First, Arsenal lead the score. Second, although Arsenal still have to take care of the FA Cup, they will compete with Manchester United in the semi-finals for the FA Cup final ticket. However, compared with Millwall In the round of the Champions League semi-finals, it is clear that Millwall''s task will be even more onerous.


    Aldrich began to pressure Arsenal at this time and fought a psychological battle!


    Before the 33rd round of the Premier League, Aldridge did not talk about the opponents of the game, and specifically talked about Arsenal.


    "Aren''t Arsenal strong? Yes, they haven''t lost so far, they are really amazing. But it doesn''t mean that they are very strong, especially when the league may eventually evolve into a game to decide the championship, what advantage does Arsenal have? ?They did not perform well in similar knockout games. Has Arsenal been in the semifinals of the Champions League for so many years? They have hit the league champions with a very mature lineup that looks like they can only maintain their peak state for two or three years at most. But they did not create any shocking results in points. Too many draws are the factors that have prevented them from throwing Millwall away. If two or three draws can become a victory, they may have already killed the suspense of the Premier League. , But they didn¡¯t do it, so I don¡¯t think Arsenal is so powerful, you can say I¡¯m lying because Millwall is still 3 points behind Arsenal, but, look at our lineup, look at some of our handicap The new faces of European fans screaming, Kaka, C Ronaldo, Villa, Robben, just these four players added up to nearly 50 goals this season, I am proud of Millwall, Proud of these young guys, what about Arsenal? Missing this season, will it be possible to compete with Millwall next season? Bogkamp will be 35 years old next season, and Pires has passed 30 last year, Arsenal Are you looking for a replacement in the key position? This is their most promising season to win the league title. Don¡¯t make mistakes. Arsenal, don¡¯t make mistakes. If it''s the finale, Millwall is hopeful in Haibu. If Li regains the league title, every Millwall will expect to see that scene happen."


    Wenger seemed quite calm about Aldridge''s provocation, even talking and laughing when facing the camera.


    "Aldrich was silent for most of the season, and finally began to make a sound, hehe, he is rude to Arsenal, look at Bergkamp, ??you will ignore his age, Pire is also perfect now, If this would be the problem, wouldn¡¯t Millwall have any problems? Southgate, Nedved, Larson, and Schneider, would Aldridge say he found a perfect replacement? No, If he said that, he was deceiving himself, and Millwall wanted to regain the league title, and he was deceiving himself. I believe the suspense will not be revealed in the final round, as long as Arsenal takes one from Millwall before the final round. Points, we will lock the league champion, we will welcome Millwall to Highbury to participate in our championship celebration."


    The war of words between Aldridge and Wenger continues.


    Until the UEFA Champions League semi-finals started, Aldridge hit back Wenger.


    "Self-deception? Last season Arsenal ended up competing with Manchester United. It seems that after just three rounds, Millwall overtook Arsenal, reversed the 4-point gap and led by 3. All Arsenal fans are now most worried about What is the matter? Of course, Arsenal don¡¯t drop the chain, and what are all Millwall fans expecting? It is Arsenal who made mistakes, but not many people think that Millwall will take the initiative to give away the league champion, don¡¯t forget By the way, our goal difference is ahead of Arsenal, a gap of 3 points? Ha ha, if the game ends tomorrow, if Arsenal lose the game, they will lose the championship!"


    Aldridge and Wenger, Millwall and Arsenal.


    The Premier League this season''s battle for the tigers has made Fleet Street admire all five bodies!


    The reason is that the performance of the two teams is very exciting.


    Arsenal only copied the last two undefeated wins from Millwall.


    Millwall also lost only one game this season, and they also have the possibility of a final reversal.


    No matter who laughs to the end, this season''s Premier League competition will have a new miracle.


    In each round of the league, exciting moments are played around the two teams.


    Arsenal''s visit to Newcastle United was tied. In that round, Millwall shortened the gap between the two teams with only 1 point left.


    However, in the round before the Champions League, Arsenal were home to 5-0 at Leeds.


    Millwall was tied by Aston Villa on the road due to distraction from the European War.


    The gap between the two teams returned to 3 points.


    The Champions League semi-final is about to start, with four rounds left in the Premier League.


    When the focus of all Europe was on the Champions League, Chelsea finally became one of the protagonists.


    This rebuilding and exciting team last summer, in the first season of the Abu era, the league did not touch the strength of the throne, but in the Champions League as a dark horse into the semi-finals.


    According to intelligence obtained from the spying military on Fleet Street, Abu had the idea of ??changing his coaching in January this year, but he was not persuaded to do so only by the persuasion of the staff.


    Because in January, the gap between Chelsea and the top of the list has been widened, and obviously it is impossible to win the league title.


    Since then, Eriksson has entered the countdown to get out of class at Stamford Bridge.


    Since then, Chelsea have played a stable role in the league, gradually opening up the gap with the team behind them, ranking firmly in the top four, and at the same time leaping forward in the Champions League knockout.


    Abu''s final patience with Eriksson can also be called Eriksson''s life-saving straw at Stamford Bridge, leaving only the Champions League.


    If he can get past Millwall and win the Champions League this season, Eriksson will become Stamford Bridge¡¯s most popular hero in a century, but if he can¡¯t win the Champions League, then Eriksson is very likely Fired after the end of the season!


    Abu offered a generous promotion bonus. If Chelsea can win the cup, the rich boss will not be stingy with money.


    He hopes to stimulate the team''s fighting power with money.


    Because through this season''s performance of Chelsea, let him understand that even if he invested hundreds of millions of pounds in the transfer market in the past season, he still can''t close the level gap between Chelsea and the top strong teams.


    In particular, London¡¯s rival Millwall, in the league, Millwall double-killed Chelsea. In the League of Lions Stadium, Abu did not go to watch at all. It was in January, which was after the league defeat. The news that Eriksson is about to leave class has spread throughout Europe like wildfire.


    Now, Chelsea is going to visit the Lion King Stadium, Abu, or chose not to watch the game.


    His luxury cruise ship is parked on the Mediterranean Sea, he will listen to the team''s report on the deck.


    Eriksson was very cautious about the prospects of the Champions League semi-finals. He was cautious and did not dare to boast about the seaport. Fearing that the final result would make him feel uncomfortable, but he could not show his weakness, he quoted diplomatic rhetoric to say something ambiguous, such as Chelsea is not afraid of Millwall. , Chelsea hope to advance to the final...


    Millwall is simple on this side. Aldrich does not want to talk more about his opponents, but simply states that the team will go all out. As for Chelsea, he does not care.


    The evening of April 21.


    The Lion King Stadium is passionate, and the first round of the UEFA Champions League semi-final kicked off.


    When Aldridge walked into the stadium, he found shocking slogans on the stands.


    A pattern covering the entire grandstand floated across the south grandstand.


    On a gleaming gold coin mountain, Chelsea''s team logo lay on it, covered with dazzling blood, and on top of the team logo, a blue lion roared with majesty.


    Aldridge bowed his head and smiled. The mad lion fans in the stands were extremely proud, but Chelsea fans were aggrieved.


    Millwall is ironic that they are useless and rich, or die!


    Die on Jinshan!


    The Champions League is Chelsea''s last front this season and the last championship they can compete for!


    If the Champions League cannot reach the finals, this season Chelsea will be all four.


    Millwall sent the strongest lineup to play, Aldridge nodded slightly.


    From the player''s momentum, you can see the inner psychological state of a team.


    Young players like Alonso and De Rossi are now holding their heads up and are not afraid of everything. This confidence and murderous attitude is extremely tough.


    This is Aldridge''s philosophy of training players. No matter what characteristics you are, the skills, the strength, even if you are not reading the game through the ability to read the game, you must have a tough attitude: above the opponent!


    For this semi-final, he is full of expectations, even, looking forward to the finals.

 Chapter 966： Who do you abuse?

    Eriksson felt like a needle in the visiting coach of the Lion King Stadium.


    The spirit is coming to England. Before the end of a season, he has become the object of squabbles on Fleet Street.


    Serie A coaches are not mixed here.


    He looked at the young and handsome men who were standing near the side of the field with their hands in their pockets.


    The criticism on Fleet Street is sometimes extremely rude!


    For example, when Chelsea played against Millwall, Eriksson sat on the coach''s bench, and Audridge stood on the sidelines, which would cause a lot of criticism after the game.


    As if Aldridge was standing there, Eriksson, what qualifications are there to sit on the coach seat?


    Eriksson knew clearly that this is a typical example.


    The coach sits or stands on the sidelines. This is just a personal habit and cannot represent anything.


    Ferguson also sat in the stands when he lost to Aldridge, but the media will objectively comment on the focus war and analyze the reasons for Manchester United¡¯s defeat.


    On the contrary, after Chelsea lost the game, even Eriksson''s expression and body movements became factors of losing and was ruthlessly attacked.


    There are many fans who are not used to Chelsea. People are laughing at the upstart of the Blues, and they are even more looking forward to the defeat of the Blues than they are to expect the defeat of a strong man like Millwall!


    At least, Millwall will not feel like an upstart. They are on the throne step by step in accordance with traditional rules in the football world. So, some people worship the strong, and some hope that the strong will fall down and produce shocking drama.


    But the upstart Chelsea, except for the fans of the Blues, many people do not want them to succeed, as if the way they used is to taint football, the football industry was once full of copper stink, and now, it is brightly changed There are many fans who have become golden football, maintain tradition, and are reluctant to accept such drastic changes. Not to mention that after the local team in England was defeated by Chelsea, those fans are more angry, and they will always scold at the end of the game: you The **** is just rich!


    It is undeniable that the impact of Abu also has a certain negative impact on Chelsea''s image, at least in the period when the changing thinking impact of this era is the most intense, because most people have reasons to devalue Chelsea: no money , You are nothing!


    The meaning of Ling Ran is actually just the most normal truth.


    Any team, without money, will be wiped out.


    In the final analysis, it is Chelsea, a team that does not have the wealth and background of the giants, who is more powerful than the giants, so that many of them are at the same level as them, or they are suppressed, or they are not far away from them. The team started to feel dissatisfied and made an unfair potential accusation against Chelsea: cheating.


    In the past, there was a gap in the cost of operating investment, but it was not too big. The investment of 50 million pounds a summer by the giants was enough to be amazing. Chelsea suddenly dropped 100 million. The greater the investment, the more investment, obviously in an ideal state. , Will accelerate success, just like a marathon, the giants who themselves lead Chelsea find that Chelsea **** actually got on the motorcycle and rushed forward, the person who was originally on the same side with Chelsea was immediately thrown away, and Chelsea was suddenly behind. It''s far away, but Chelsea riding a motorcycle is not a foul, because this marathon, the rules allow you to ride a motorcycle, but everyone can''t afford it. Most of the leading giants are also stepping on Cycling has established an advantage. People who fall behind either run on two legs, or simply don¡¯t even have shoes, take a break after running for a while, or heal blood bubbles from the bottom of the foot, and naturally they fall behind.


    So, the envy and jealousy broke out in everyone''s heart, which became a kind of criticism and ridicule, especially when Chelsea''s motorcycle broke down, it was really popular!


    Laughing and scolding all beings, football is no exception.


    So this season the Premier League''s most frequent words surrounding Chelsea are: money can''t buy a champion.


    However, in this game, the core players, the bosses of the giants, and the coaches, will take the rise of Chelsea very seriously.


    No one can stop this, because the boss does not care about losing money, or the money lost to Chelsea is just a small loss of entertainment at the gambling table. Abu is concerned about whether this entertainment makes him satisfied and happy.


    Chelsea will be stronger in the future, unless Abu stops playing, hoping that Abu will encounter a financial crisis and Chelsea will experience financial difficulties. This is probably not realistic at all.


    The future is unpredictable, but Chelsea will be stronger. This will not change. In the future, there will be only one question that troubles Chelsea: success, what kind of success, whether it can satisfy the boss.


    So Aldridge has been ignoring Chelsea this season, it¡¯s going to rain, and Niang is going to marry, staring at Chelsea, what¡¯s the use of cursing opponents every day?


    He focused on his eyes, or, when Abu entered Chelsea, he subconsciously placed Chelsea in the same position as Manchester United and Arsenal, competing with Millwall for an opponent, what is there to think about of?


    Just flip the opponent!


    Today''s Chelsea, Aldridge doesn''t take it seriously.


    But he has never been a coach who will reveal his inner thoughts about the game.


    Seeing Chelsea''s starting lineup today, Aldridge smiled subconsciously.


    Chelsea''s lineup was reinforced with **** blood last summer, but the team lacked stability.


    Changing coaches and adding a lot of new aid, it is normal for the team to run in, and re-exploring the way to victory after encountering setbacks also consumes a lot of energy for the team, the price is an unstable record.


    The league title is over, and it is now in the rhythm of Paul 4.


    In terms of team lineups, Eriksson''s desire to work with Belon to create brilliant again is completely over.


    Belon was also unable to match his worth in Chelsea, and was sinking.


    Crespo, who is on the striker, was not stable in the first season when he needed to integrate into the Premier League. It was difficult to hope.


    Eriksson no longer dared to play 433 and instead played 442.


    Today''s starting striker partner is Hasselbaink and Romanian star Mutu.


    The midfield is a unilateral raid, relying on Duff on the left, defensive mainly on the middle and the right. Makelele and Gremi partner to guard the middle. Glen Johnson''s defensive ability in key campaigns is worrying, but his offensive ability is considerable. Pushing him to the position of avant-garde is also based on defense, a strategic consideration to use his side impact ability when there is a chance.


    On the back line, Bridge, Terry, Gallas, and Melchiot form a defensive line that looks pretty tough.


    Eriksson completely cut off the idea of ??a full-back assist. He really didn''t dare to expose the defender''s empty line, which is why the more experienced Melchiot played the right back.


    Aldridge can even guess the change behind Eriksson.


    After the game started, Millwall did not give Chelsea any time to adapt to the field to enter the state of the game, and immediately launched a pressure attack. Their current technical and tactical system is running smoothly and freely. The dominance on the field is becoming more and more visible and concrete. .


    It''s like Arsenal''s attack is delicate and smooth, but lacks dominance?


    They don''t seem to have the concept of game rhythm. They will always pull the sideways to counterattack. If the opponent does not attack, they will not be able to give more powerful oppression.


    In contrast, Millwall, they will not give the opponent space and time to dominate the ball.


    After the side wing storm cooperated with the tacit understanding, the improvement of the midfield organization ability, Millwall''s disappearance of the dominance of the past two years and the rich tactical changes have returned to the public''s vision.


    The change stems from rhythm, a winged attack on the side, crazy and passionate, but after playing too much, the opponent can find the door to limit them.


    Today, Aldridge is picking up offensive means with rich experience in the past on the new tactical system.


    "Wow, just at the beginning, Millwall launched an attack on the left. Chelsea''s Glen Johnson was too embarrassed and was passed three times in a row!"


    The Lion King Stadium laughed loudly.


    Just two minutes after the game, Ronaldinho broke through Glen Johnson after taking the ball on the left and found that Chelsea''s back line was tightly closed, and then slowed down the rhythm again. Ashley Cole.


    Glen Johnson turned around, and just standing in front of Ashley Cole was broken by Ashley Cole''s forward impact!


    Ashley Cole took the ball to the bottom line, he had the same choice as Ronaldinho, and then passed the ball back. Ronaldinho got the ball in place. Glen Johnson was passed twice in a row and rushed up to grab Ronaldinho. The ball was immediately accelerated by Ronaldinho''s dexterously dribbling the ball!


    In a short time, Glen Johnson was completely passed three times!


    Then Ronaldinho rushed towards the edge of the penalty area, and Glen Johnson was completely isolated from this defense, because Ronaldinho and Ashley Cole are closer to Chelsea''s goal than him!


    In front of Melchiot, Ronaldinho swung the ball laterally, then suddenly ankle shook the ball behind Melchiot and Terry.


    Makelele had no time to stop Ronaldinho.


    Ashley Cole sprinted from behind Melchiot to the back of the full-back and centre-back, got a pass from Ronaldinho, and crossed the goal in front of the goal. Henry midfielded out in place and blocked Galas behind. Grab a shot!


    Cudicini left the spot first, came up and blocked Henry''s shot, and Chelsea escaped!


    Glen Johnson''s expression was slightly tense.


    Aldridge bowed his head and smiled slightly.


    To destroy the local defense of the opponent, in addition to the impact, there is also the direct collapse of the opponent''s fixed position!


    Once the opponent collapses at a certain point, then this partial team cooperation, whether offensive or defensive, will have huge flaws!


    This trick was uncomfortable during the second generation of the mad lion dynasty. Later, it was not possible to play because of the team''s renewal. The tacit understanding is not enough. How can you abuse others?


    After more than half of the season''s new tactics, Ashley Cole has matured with Ronaldinho on the left, and the team is running at the same rhythm. This is how easy it is, unlike the beginning of the season. , The side attack is straight with a rib, going back in time, sending back smartly, speeding up and slowing down, rarely seen.


    If Glen Johnson spent half a minute to calm down and still have a lucky chance, suggesting that he was just a little nervous at the beginning of the game and made mistakes, then he is definitely wrong, and the next game has become his nightmare!


    "Millwall played the left with a hard heart today and started all offenses from the side of Ronaldinho. The performances of Glen Johnson and Melchiot are terrible. They can''t stop Ronaldo at all. El Dinho joins forces with Ashley Cole!"


    Eriksson ejected Glen Johnson to play as a full-back, just to strengthen the defense on this side, and Ronaldinho and Ashley Cole were afraid.


    But in terms of one-on-one, Ronaldinho and Ashley Cole can both explode the other two, and then, the efficiency of the 22 combination, the Millwall pair, is it the Chelsea half bucket of water? Can the side combinations that haven''t been together for a few days match?


    Chelsea''s defense on the right was frequently exploded. The danger in the penalty area was ringing. The biggest threat came from the attack on the left.


    Makelele and Gremme did not dare to go to the side of the defense without permission, but in front of them there was a staring Nedved, making them like a man.


    But Chelsea''s overall back line was involuntarily slightly tilted to that side when the pressure on the right defensive side was huge, in order to compress Henry''s space when the side combined.


    In the 17th minute, Ronaldinho suddenly returned the ball without giving the ball to Ashley Cole, but instead gave it to Nedved, who made a free kick between the gap between Sebridge and Galas. , Rushed out from behind Bridge to cut a rib in the penalty area!


    Larson!


    Makelele is like a cold venomous snake, he had long expected Millwall to fight like this!


    Of course, why not?


    The right defense is so tense that everyone''s spirit is tense, while the left defense has not been affected for a long time. Whether it is the defensive attention drop or the unconsciously exposed empty space, Millwall is really hiding the attack point of the killer!


    And this is precisely the subtlety of Millwall''s past magical attack group, which is alone in the rivers and lakes!


    When Nedved went straight, Makelele went straight back to the penalty area to fill the gap on the other side.


    If Larson shoots directly without stopping the ball, Makelele can''t help, but the distance is far and the angle is too small, but if Larson wants to cross or take the ball close to the goal, Makelele confidently has the opportunity to block the opponent!


    However, Makelele saw in horror that Larson kept passing the ball, but made a cross, but not the ball.


    Overpass!


    Makelele looked away immediately, Ronaldinho appeared at the top corner of the penalty area, and there were no Chelsea players interfering with him!


    Galas went to block Larson, and Terry naturally had to follow Henry. Gremi blocked the Nedved forward and inserted the line. Ronaldinho, at least, should be followed by fullback Melchiot.


    Probably Ronaldinho and Ashley Cole frantically shifted between the two tracks, and Melchiot actually watched Ashley Cole close behind Ronaldinho at this time!


    Facing the falling ball, Ronaldinho is not in the position of the ball unless he heads the ball, but Ronaldinho is brave and turned to face the goal. All the fans of Lion King Stadium couldn¡¯t help but stand up , They opened their eyes wide, and watched Ronaldinho rise up in the air, hanging the golden hook upside down!


    boom!

 Chapter 967： The only enemy

    In the Lion King Stadium, Ronaldinho was born another classic goal!


    Barb broken!


    The whole stadium burst into shock and cheers like a tsunami.


    The camera lights of the photographers on the sidelines flickered, but they could not be compared with Ronaldinho, who seemed to be full of glory at the moment!


    Ronaldinho got up from the ground and ran slowly towards the corner flag area under the stunned attention of Chelsea.


    His teammates were full of surprises, and his eyes were full of incredible.


    On the sidelines, Aldridge closed his eyes and smiled drunk, right finger pointing.


    If there is a God in the world, he wants to ask him the old man''s finger: Do you smile when you see Ronaldinho playing football?


    The corner banner area where Ronaldinho ran, the crowd in the nearby stands was turbulent. Some fans turned over the stands and rushed to Ronaldinho. He actually knelt down and spread his arms and looked up at Ronaldinho with obsession and worship!


    "Ronaldinho! Ronaldinho! There are already a lot of fans shouting his name in the stands. At this moment, Ronaldinho is like the king of this stadium. He is absolutely One of the best players in Millwall''s formation this season, he was criticized for his average performance last season, and as Millwall''s crazy offensive tactics became more powerful this season, he was given a right-side attack. Created more play space, although the opponent is still mainly restricting him, but his teammates made a good space for him to reduce pressure, which of course is inseparable from the credit of Sir Hall, he knows how to activate Ronaldinho Oh, how to make this creative Brazilian magician omnipotent!"


    "Chelsea couldn''t even defend for 20 minutes. Eriksson came here to fight back. Everyone knows, but the midfield is completely ruled by Millwall, and the right attack is suppressed by Millwall. When the counterattack, Johnson and Melchiot couldn¡¯t get up. Duff, who was only on the left, was too clear, and Duff, who had done nothing in front of the experienced Schneider, after Belon was abandoned, Chelsea There is not even one player with offensive creativity in the lineup. The reason why they eliminated Arsenal is because Arsenal¡¯s positional battle lacked creativity. After compressing enough space, Arsenal¡¯s counterattack power plummeted and Chelsea also fought back. With a slight luck tilt, Chelsea advanced. Now, they have encountered opponents who are not at all a level, and they seem to have no strength to parry. Glen Johnson booked the worst player in the game for 15 minutes in the game, completely I don¡¯t know what he is doing in that position."


    "Oh, it''s too harsh to say that, this guy is only 20 years old, facing the world champion Ashley Cole, Ronaldinho, who has been the runner-up of the Golden Globe for three consecutive years, he is just Unfortunately, Martin, I think Eriksson is too rigid, or he does not want to bow his head to copy Sir Hall¡¯s successful anti-anti-tactics on the national team. His two full-backs are useless for defense. It seems that there are four players in front of the back line, but the actual effect is not comparable to the three backs."


    Since the beginning of last season, many teams in England, not only in the Premier League, but also in the lower third league, many teams have average strength, pragmatically adopting the 4321 anti-reverse formation that Aldridge has achieved in the World Cup, and the record has improved. In other words, the number of teams that have exceeded the expected record is endless, so this set of extreme anti-anti-systems has been studied by more people, especially the chain defense system with four guards and three backs in the backcourt. Home is full of praise.


    In the past, the defensive iron triangle is familiar, that is, double central defender + single midfielder, this is a basic defensive system that is also inevitable.


    The 4321 created by Aldridge formed three overlapping "iron triangles" interlocking in the back line and the back line!


    Left-back, left-back, left-back.


    Left midfielder, right midfielder, midfielder midfielder.


    Right back, right centre back, right midfielder.


    Suppose you have a Scholes or Nedved who can balance defense. In the midfield, there is also a big triangle defense system, with two left and right backs plus fronts.


    After honing and shaping, there was a team chemistry reaction, the connection between the players was very close, the defense was mainly compressed in the fan-shaped area in front of the door, compared with the four defenders and four midfielders, especially the establishment of two full-backs, Aldrich 43 Defensive system, the defensive goal is more clear, and the combination of penetration and ribbing in the restricted side is also very targeted.


    In other words, they sacrificed the defense of the midfield side, and the defense of the secondary threat zone in exchange for more compressing the offensive space of the opponents in the danger zone, making the area where the threatening shot was born impenetrable.


    It¡¯s like today¡¯s Glen Johnson and Duff, both of whom are involved in the defense, still dominated by the wing, especially Glen Johnson. Whenever he realizes that Ronaldinho Jr.¡¯s defense is slow and slow, this It is a collision of thinking, because he will be afraid of losing position or colliding with his teammates'' defensive zone. When Ronaldinho cuts into the penalty zone, it should be a full-back, and before the penalty zone, it should be a lower back.


    It can be said that this is an inevitable result of the development of modern football.


    In the future, there will not be a second wing forward in the standard sense of Giggs.


    We will hear XX''s newly emerged winger and full-back, but we will no longer hear that XX Supernova is a new generation of wing forward.


    This is determined by the development of football. Physical fitness represents the running distance, the area covered by the stadium, and the speed determines the conversion rate of offense and defense. It will no longer be difficult to pass through the midfield. Like the English parallel midfielder 442 in the past, trying to occupy each piece of the grass , And the concept of effective blocking will also enter the grave.


    The change in this point is also why Aldridge was able to succeed in the past. It was a success point in his tactical leadership. At the end of his second season with Millwall, the full-back role was completely in line with the main technical and tactical formations. Farewell, only exists on the battlefield where the consciousness of young people is hone according to different situations during military training.


    The defensive idea of ??restricting the passing of the opponent''s triangle will not disappear, that is the iron triangle system.


    Now Millwall, when they are beaten by their opponents, their defensive system is two iron triangle systems.


    De Rossi reclaimed the restricted area as a center defender, Alonso was on the backline for the first time, and there was also a back defender, which was of course dangerous. The conversion speed suppresses Millwall, hits the attack on the front line for the first time, and forms a situation where the number of offenses does not fall.


    Since Millwall is offensive football style, it must be based on offensive instead of defensive!


    It is also Aldridge''s maximum offensive and defensive balance.


    Compared to the three ¡°iron triangle¡± defensive systems of extreme anti-counterfeit, Millwall can now put two ¡°iron triangle¡± defensive systems in defense while pursuing a full-scale oppression offensive, which is definitely the limit.


    The outside world is just watching the changes, growth, and progress of Millwall, and the power of the new generation of crazy lions.


    Only Aldrich understands what he is doing now, what is the ideal level that the third-generation mad lion can reach.


    Before Millwall reopened the ball, Aldridge suddenly turned back and asked loudly at Jenson: "Jenson, who is the enemy of an absolutely successful technical and tactical system?"


    Colleagues of the Millwall coach looked at each other, and everyone looked at Jenson, only to hear him smile back: "There is only one enemy: time!"


    Aldridge laughed, turned his eyes sharply and smiled.


    What the third-generation mad lion pursues is also what Audric pursues, two words.


    No solution!


    To further stimulate the ability to control the ball in the midfield and backcourt, so that the team 11 people have become the response point. At the same time, the variables of attack acceleration exist, creativity is inspired, Ronaldinho is the main frontcourt, speed shocks are Henry, Larson, and Dwyder, the backcourt uses a full-back forward as a hidden attack point for the back echelon.


    On the court, their only enemy is space.


    Outside the court, their only enemy will be time.


    Chelsea lost the ball and fell behind. The generals will be extremely reluctant. Duff has a strong left on the left. Even if the breakthrough is successful, it is difficult to connect with Mutu and Hasselbaink in the frontcourt. In the middle, there is no point to follow up. Gremi and Makelele are not too afraid to cross the halftime to participate in the offense, but dare to do some sorting and matching work in the midfield and backcourt.


    Aldrich gestured to Ronaldinho on the sidelines. Ronaldinho immediately understood that he had transposed with Nedved.


    Glen Johnson was completely useless in just over 20 minutes. The shock of Ashley Cole was enough to create oppression. Nedved''s response and raid after coming to the left became Chelsea''s nightmare.


    In the 29th minute, Alonso passed the ball directly to Nedved''s feet. He walked inside and cut into the penalty area. Gremmy protected the rib space, Ronaldinho did not press, and Makelele closed back to prevent Henry who pulled out of the penalty area cooperated with Nedved.


    Nedved returns the ball, Ronaldinho receives the ball, and then passes the ball behind Terry in the penalty area. Nedved rushes forward and jumps the header when Terry reluctantly jumps. Unfortunately, the angle was somewhat positive, and Kudicini confiscated it.


    "Nedved and Ronaldinho have started a tacit understanding of the transposition cooperation. Such a transposition can easily cause the opponent''s defensive chaos. Because the two have different characteristics and different threats, they need to focus on the opponent''s spirit. With their rhythm, it seems that it is still very difficult for Chelsea to restrict Millwall from raging in their halftime."


    Aldridge saw this attack but did not break the door, not discouraged, he gave Henry a gesture, Henry and Larson also swapped positions!


    After a near-crazy new tactical system is formed, Millwall can integrate the tricks they were good at into the new system. They did not do this before, fearing that too many changes will cause their own chaos. Only if they are completely stable, how? Change can do whatever you want.


    Aldridge smiled evilly, and since the outside world is watching, let them see enough!

 Chapter 968： Great advantage

    The Millwall that Chelsea encountered in the league is more like a shotgun, with full pressure, but the offense is scattered, and the storm erupts.


    Now, Millwall is more like a sniper rifle, with a sharp edge, and even pursuing a fatal blow.


    Therefore, they will no longer appear to be crazy on the sidelines, not moving, but moving for more than nine days.


    The opening pressure on the left side made Glen Johnson and Melchiot''s defensive quality continue to decline. Especially as Glen Johnson''s confidence collapsed, Millwall''s partial coordination from the left to the middle seemed more difficult to stop.


    Larson swapped with Henry, Ronaldinho swapped with Nedved, and in the 38th minute, this transposition offensive effect paid off.


    Nedved deterred Melchiot and Terry''s defensive zone, Ashley Cole followed, with Ronaldinho, the three made a triangle pass, and Gremi and Makelele were alerting Larsson When they approached them, they began to rush to rush.


    After the opponent''s move on the backline, Ronaldinho decisively passed the ball back to him in parallel and withdrew Henry from the front line.


    Henry got the ball forward and in front of him, the interception pressure on the backline suddenly decreased, and they were all attracted to Ronaldinho to the other side.


    After the start of Henry''s speed control, the speed was amazing. Bridge immediately entered the restricted area and planned to stop Henry with Gallas, but both of them chose to go out in a panic.


    Henry decisively passed the ball before stepping into the penalty area.


    Schneider from the side of the ball kept rolling the ball and crossed the half-height.


    This foot pass to the extreme ecstasy!


    The previous point lacked the blocking of Galas and Bridge, and successfully bypassed the front of Chelsea. Terry needed to turn around. The faster than he was to directly start the Nedved of the outbreak before the outbreak!


    In the area behind the goal, Nedved arrived first, sending the ball into Chelsea''s goal with a non-stop ball shot from a foot pad!


    Chelsea backline players are all like blown beasts, vent their dissatisfaction with irritable body movements, but they are not good to blame teammates. Only Glen Johnson, Melchiot, and walking in the front court have cooled down. The offensive player left blankly blank.


    Makelele gritted his teeth helplessly.


    Larson in the middle road is a guise for his mother!


    Henry''s pull-back retraced the ball and cut into the ball, scaring both Gallas and Bridge!


    Nedved rushed for the goal and broke the goal in one go, running along the sidelines and roaring passionately.


    "2:0, 2:0, the first half is not over, Millwall has expanded the score to 2:0! Millwall from the last month seems to give people a new feeling, it is difficult to be simple Let¡¯s use young players to become mature to describe them. Their offense and defense system is running smoothly, and a more arbitrary attack system has been formed than the former gorgeous offensive fours!"


    "Yes, through the observation of the last month, you will find that their midfield is more mobile than before, and they have actually liberated the full-back. De Rossi and Alonso both defended and attacked, with Nesta and Southgate, this layered combination of back and front, makes Millwall almost flawless in the back and midfield, and can bring more comprehensive strength to the offense than a single Pirlo in the past! This should be Hall Jazz strives to create a new generation of crazy lions."


    "Oh, Chelsea are torn in the front and back, they are not like a whole, Mutu and Hasselbaink, Duff, three people are fighting alone in the attack, the frontcourt pass can not even match three feet. , Eriksson, when will it be sober?"


    Aldridge glanced at the expressionless Erickson.


    He likes that his opponents are famous coaches, because many famous coaches inevitably want "dignity".


    Chelsea have no midfield advantage, and the offensive and defensive system was torn by Millwall. The reality before them is simple: strengthen defense and shrink the dangerous zone of the restricted area!


    To put it bluntly, in the face of Millwall''s arbitrary attack system without chaos.


    Chelsea want a good result, or an acceptable result, can only put the bus!


    It¡¯s not Aldridge arrogance, Millwall¡¯s ¡°tuition fees¡± this season are enough!


    Otherwise, how could the league fall behind Arsenal?


    Whether a team is strong or not, the strength of individual players is of course very important, but team chemistry is the key.


    Regarding the gorgeousness of the lineup, Real Madrid is not inferior to Millwall, or any contemporary giant in Europe.


    However, Real Madrid did not play the offensive firepower that bested Europe.


    Can you imagine Real Madrid has scored only one more goals in La Liga this season than Valencia, the top team?


    Can you imagine Real Madrid conceding twice as many goals as Valencia?


    More than 20!


    Millwall broke out two months ago. The league has exceeded 16 Arsenal goals. There are 4 rounds left this season. Even if the goal cannot be broken, it is definitely more than 90. At the same time, the defense , They are comparable to Arsenal.


    Eriksson bowed his head and had some expectations before the game. As long as he could pass the Millwall level and go to the Champions League final, whether it is Porto or A Coru?a, he will be confident that the Champions League trophy will be brought back. Stamford Bridge.


    In that way, his handsome position is preserved.


    But now it seems that the handsome position is completely suspended.


    After two goals, what''s the use of the bus?


    Many Chelsea fans in the stands were already holding their heads in frustration.


    Chelsea have strengthened this season.


    Here are some exciting players, Belon, Crespo, Mutu and so on.


    However, compare with Millwall.


    Ronaldinho, Nedved, Henry...


    It''s not a rank in any way.


    In particular, the score fell behind, and it seemed that I took everything for granted.


    I can only hope that the boss will spend a lot of money to continue to strengthen the team''s strength.


    Losing to the mad lion is unconvincing!


    "At the end of the first half, Chelsea trailed Millwall at 0:2 at the Lion King Stadium. According to Chelsea''s status today, Millwall will end the second round of suspense in a game in advance!"


    Chelsea crowds will walk into the player''s channel in a mess.


    Aldridge waited for every player on the sidelines, patting their shoulders with encouragement.


    Waiting for the second half to come up, Aldridge''s eyes narrowed slightly on the sidelines, a slight grin after a little thought.


    Erickson, don''t you want to put a bus on death?


    After the midfield adjustment, Chelsea became crazy in the second half. All the players in the team entered the state of rampage. They were crazy to grab, and the movement was too large. In many cases, two players can be seen fiercely robbing the same opponent.


    This almost irrational posture must have a deep meaning behind it.


    Disrupting Millwall''s rhythm makes the game from Millwall''s control to disorder and chaos!


    Then, in the chaos, Chelsea attacked again!


    "I will let you die!"


    Millwall is not affected, the opponent is fighting crazy, they speed up, let the ball run fast, the opponent''s player rushes across the court, and it is normal for the player to lose position, plus Millwall''s offensive line players are clever and super strong Capturing the free power, it would be whimsical for opponents to think that such a fight would contain Millwall.


    Alonso is more and more popular, playing a commanding role on the court.


    In the past six months, Aldridge did not flick him with a leather whip. Instead, after each game, he found some time to communicate with him during the intervening training, 10 minutes to half an hour each time.


    This step-by-step communication and ordering has made Alonso gradually form a good kicking habit on the court, observe, think, calm down the ball, use every minute reasonably, pay attention to the opponent''s movements, focus on the overall situation, and improve the overall situation. In addition, his vision has become wider, and his own thinking has given him a tremendous progress when the team progressed over the same period, and a role qualitatively sublimated.


    He no longer trembles in the game, worrying that his opponent''s impact will destabilize his defense. On the contrary, he is constantly moving, catching, passing, running, observing, thinking, looking for time, making eye contact with his teammates, and looking far away. In the middle, he enjoys all this, enjoys the ball at his feet, and then passes by himself to instigate his own offensive and contain the process of opponent''s defense change!


    In the 52nd minute, Alonso was in the midfield of the midfield, taking advantage of the opponent''s bridge to push forward and did not return to the corner.


    Larsson dribbled the ball after getting the ball on the sideline. When he came to the penalty area, Galas had to force up to block, Larsson passed the ball to the diagonal back of Galas, Henry inserted The ball, with a small angle facing the goal, started to shoot, Terry rushed over to block the shovel to block, but Henry shot a false shot, smashed the ball over Terry, and took a step to the middle of the goal, Cudicini Just after taking a step, Henry poked the ball into the far corner of the goal.


    "3:0! Millwall locked the victory! Henry scored! Chelsea seems to be empty again this season. After investing so much money, the British upstart is not as powerful as expected. In Millwall In front of them, they are still crushed as before!"


    In about three weeks, the Premier League will end, if you can advance to the Champions League final, then the Champions League final will be held on the 27th of next month.


    For Chelsea, if the Champions League cannot reach the finals, this season basically declares the end.


    Their position in the top four is very stable because Liverpool in fifth place is more than 10 points away from the top four!


    Before coming to the Lion King Stadium, the team returned to the city. The 90-minute game was not over, and the Blues Chelsea were already fragmented.


    They were still struggling, and it seemed more intense than before the third ball was dropped, so in the 61st minute, Glen Johnson got a red card after shoveling Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho was too lazy to ignore Glen Johnson, he was He was often shoveled, hit, and violated by opponents in various ways. He was a little numb. Especially, he didn¡¯t bother to argue with Glen Johnson. If he didn¡¯t take a straight look at him, it would be Ronaldinho¡¯s contempt for him. .


    But on Millwall''s side, De Rossi rushed in front of Glen Johnson for the first time, like an irritated beast roaring crazy at Johnson!


    In the stands nearest to the incident, Millwall fans all stood up to denounce Johnson, not only reprimanding his fouls, but also mocking his betrayal.


    De Rossi''s intransigence has given him a yellow card. The accumulated yellow card will be suspended in the next game. If he can enter the final, he will not miss the final.


    As for why his explosive barrel exploded, it was definitely not that Aldridge had premeditatedly asked him to "shuffle".


    This is De Rossi''s first season as the main player. Seeing that the team is gaining momentum, De Rossi, Alonso, those young players who do not want to play in the Champions League final? Who doesn''t want to enter the final and win the championship trophy?


    How important is Ronaldinho to this team?


    Indescribable.


    If Ronaldinho is injured, Millwall''s offense will definitely decline, so De Rossi exploded!


    Glenn Johnson almost cried out in the booing of the field, and when he dragged his head and walked off the field, Aldridge rarely pointed and criticized the other party.


    "Who taught you to do that? Who the **** taught you to use that dirty action to invade your opponent when your skills are not as good as others?"


    It seems that the young man who left Millwall and switched to Chelsea really lost a lot of Millwall branding.


    Of course Aldridge will teach players to foul!


    It was like he was actively asking England internationals to foul on the sidelines at the World Cup, setting a record for his own yellow card in a single game, at the World Cup!


    However, what he asked for was a tactical foul, and he has never been foul and brutal, beyond the technical moves!


    The live footage captured Aldridge''s swearing of Glen Johnson.


    Many people just understand this as Aldridge''s anger and hatred. Perhaps only those who are familiar with Aldridge from the Millwall coaching staff understand that there is more or less hatred.


    The first rule in Millwall¡¯s teaching player philosophy is to remain calm no matter what the situation. The situation is good. Don¡¯t be disappointed and relax your vigilance. If the situation is not good, don¡¯t be discouraged.


    Chelsea, who was one less player, replaced the offensive player and the whole army retreated.


    Millwall also replaced Larson and Henry 70 minutes ago.


    Millwall, who played one more person, completely mastered the game rhythm. Alonso combed the midfield, and the situation suddenly became tepid.


    However, Millwall always plays a wave of assaults immediately after consuming his opponent at a slow pace.


    In the 84th minute, Villa built merits. After 3 minutes, C Luomen locked in the score at 5:0.


    "The strong Millwall has a 99% chance to lock in the finals, and the remaining 1% chance will stay at Stamford Bridge two weeks later."


    Millwall celebrated the victory at Lion King Stadium.


    In an interview after the game, Aldridge firmly denied the possibility of staying at Stamford Bridge in the next round. He just said that the huge lead will make Millwall more relaxed in dealing with the second round without repeating it. Whatever happened in Monaco, Millwall will still aim at victory in the face of a mortal enemy and visiting Stamford Bridge.


    When Abu learned about the report of the Lion King Stadium on a luxury cruise ship in the Mediterranean, he shattered a bottle of top wine worth 30,000 pounds...

 Chapter 969： Stripping the mythic coat

    Millwall''s declining record last season led to a turning point in the impression of falling to the altar.


    Arsenal has been suppressed in the league this season. The FA Cup and the League Cup double-line domestic cup are out. In the impression of the previous transition, Millwall returned to "mediocre", or frozen in the normal state of the rich team. .


    The giants will not always be the champion, and the giants will not always kill the Quartet.


    The giants will plant their heels, the perineal ditch will overturn, and the record will fluctuate and become unstable.


    Millwall is a giant. No one dare to admit their football status. Any team that has won four Champions Leagues and has half a team of world-class stars in the contemporary era will be a giant. As for Liverpool, why is it falling from the position of the giants? They do not have a past, but they only have a past, but they seem to have no present and future!


    As for why Chelsea are developing on the road to the giants, because they seem to have a present and a future, what they lack is honor!


    Since the start of the UEFA Champions League knockout at the end of February, Millwall suddenly broke out in the European stadium within two months, causing fans, ball critics and their opponents all over the world to realize that the crazy lion is back!


    The mad lion that trembles all over Europe is back!


    They have not completed a big cycle of Nirvana rebirth. They are like the summer of 1998, they have broken everyone¡¯s expectations. When everyone thinks that the result is expected, the mad lion, with a subtle visual sense, is pressing. The status of the team has returned to everyone''s sight. It is impossible for people to clear their eyes, and they can no longer blame the team rudely and irresponsibly criticize it.


    In the tenth year of Aldridge coaching, his rich experience has made Millwall''s final sprint more united and fierce than ever before!


    On the weekend, Millwall defeated Fulham 3:0 away, and at the same time, Arsenal visited White Hart Lane and suffered a Tottenham sniper!


    Not long ago, Wenger, who talked and laughed and would not give Millwall a chance, left in the cold boos of all the Spurs fans in White Hart Lane.


    "2:2! The points gap between Arsenal and Millwall has been shortened to 1 point! Will the same plot last season be played? Will Arsenal not even close the game? We don''t know, so far in the league Arsenal, the undefeated defeat, and Millwall, who only lost one game in the league, what kind of dragon fight will be played in the last three rounds? If they are neutral fans, they must not hope that the suspense will end before the final battle, but now It seems that Millwall has a low probability of giving away the league champion, but it is Arsenal that makes people sweat for them. Before the end of the battle, can they score 6 points in both games? God knows!"


    Arsenal, Arsenal.


    When Aldridge learned of Arsenal''s situation after the game, he immediately put pressure on Arsenal.


    "Look, Arsenal made a mistake, the gap between us is only 1 point, what happens next? I don¡¯t know, I only know that at the end of the first half of the league, if the trophy was awarded at the time, Arsenal led us by 5 The championship trophy is theirs, but now, our destiny is in our own hands. I don¡¯t care what Arsenal will do next. There is only one question in front of Millwall: the league championship trophy is Arsenal giving up Give it to us or we will go to Highbury in person to get it back."


    Wenger began to avoid the war of words with Aldridge.


    Millwall local fans in East London, after a season, started fighting in August and ended in May. Except for one month, most of them treated the mad lions in a gesture of enjoyment or even daily life.


    Supporting Millwall is an instinct for **** fans.


    You don''t need to talk about it every day, you don''t need to talk to people like you show off, walk into the court, watch the team''s performance in a familiar position, and cheer for cheering as always. This is instinct, and it should be right.


    And in that special month, they can proudly say: a special month defined by our young master.


    In May, Millwall''s harvest season!


    By this month, everything has become different, making them bloody, and the game has become intense and exciting, and the extent of touching people is not comparable to that before.


    In the past, Manchester United tried to catch Millwall behind with a bite. Now, it has become Millwall to catch Arsenal all season. Fans know that the crazy lion is not easy, and how hard some of the young guys on the team work hard , So outside the training ground, they will spontaneously gather there to cheer for them.


    Alonso, De Rossi, Kaka, Ronaldo, Ram, Baines, Silva, Robben and so on, they soon have a lot of fans, this is also a way of encouraging fans, sure Their contribution.


    In the middle of the week, Millwall prepared for the weekend''s league.


    And Arsenal started with Manchester United in the FA Cup semi-final. After a fierce battle, Ferguson smiled and Wenger''s face was even more gloomy.


    The seemingly perfect Arsenal, Champions League, League Cup, FA Cup in the league, these three fronts failed to reach the end, Ferguson led Manchester United to play a classic game, even if the league has been thrown by Arsenal and Millwall With a cut from the boss, the defending champion has already been eclipsed in the league. However, Manchester United are still declaring a sense of presence, giving them a head-on attack when Arsenal are most nervous.


    Although the domestic cup is training.


    However, the FA Cup is heavier than the League Cup, and at this stage of the semifinals, it is impossible for the giants to continue training. After winning two consecutive games, they will get a cup trophy with a long history and the same international influence!


    For example, Aldridge used to dare to train in the semi-finals, but it was only accidental, and it attracted a lot of criticism. It was only a special case, not a giant.


    Aldridge became a big mouth.


    He fell to Arsenal for the first time.


    "Some people say that Millwall will have a tougher task than Arsenal in taking care of the Champions League. Now, Arsenal can completely concentrate on the league championship, but Millwall is only one more Champions League game than them. After the second round of the game, if Arsenal did not win the championship in the penultimate round, then this kind of remarks about the pressure of the schedule can disappear. Arsenal¡¯s unbeaten league is a false strong in my opinion. They lost in the League Cup, lost in the Champions League, and many games. The FA Cup is now lost. Why don¡¯t they lose in the league? The difference between the league and the cup is very subtle. I¡¯m tired of others saying Assen in my ears Na is copying the myth of Millwall¡¯s past, even if they won the championship undefeated, the points are at least 6 points away from Millwall¡¯s undefeated championship in the past, the league is sometimes an arithmetic problem, 3 games, 2 wins and 1 loss is 6 points, and 1 win and 2 draws are 5 points. Oh, there are already 12 draws in the Arsenal League, representing 36 points in 12 games. They lost 24 points. If they are brave and have a broken atmosphere, Fight back two or three games, even if you lose one or two games? Points will be very cost-effective, will also end the suspense in the Premier League, but they do not, now, getting better and stronger Millwall , Mastering the initiative of destiny."


    Comparing psychological battles, Wenger is clearly not Aldridge''s opponent.


    Aldridge knows exactly what his team needs. What Millwall needs is impulse. The older players cannot tolerate the loss of the league title for two consecutive seasons. The new generation of rising stars is eager to wait for the league. The championship trophy is held in his arms.


    Arsenal''s one-place reputation and ball critics who favor Arsenal are reminding Wenger that this is Aldridge''s psychological battle.


    Constantly and repeatedly downplaying Arsenal''s undefeated record, constantly mentioning Arsenal''s losses, and even using "arithmetic questions" to satirize them "lost their ambition to win for undefeated."


    This is absolutely unfair.


    nonsense!


    Psychological warfare is never about talking about truth, magnifying truth, goodness and beauty.


    It is to fight your psychological defense, to shake your heart, and to create a psychological environment of panic.


    Why did Ferguson fall behind by more than 10 points and dare to conclude that Newcastle United won no league title?


    Why did Aldridge catch up with Ferguson in the psychological warfare while defying Manchester United on the other side?


    Psychological warfare is never a reasonable argument, but a means to seize opportunities, strike opponents at an appropriate time, and benefit oneself.


    Arsenal''s pressure stems from the beginning of the second round of the league, they are the leader of the league!


    And on the road that has been undefeated, began to be myth!


    Aldridge is to strip off their mythical coat and shake their confidence. At the end of the season, the most important factors for Millwall are three points.


    First, Arsenal''s own pressure.


    Second, Arsenal were out of the Champions League at the beginning of April. The FA Cup semi-final defeat at the end of April caused double knockouts.


    Third, Millwall shortened the league points with Arsenal over the same period, while the shock effect of the Champions League sings!


    The positive factors for Arsenal are two things.


    First, they lead the league in points, in fact the initiative is still in their hands.


    Second, they have only the last three league games left in the season, and they are dedicated to impacting the league champions without any other influence.


    In the penultimate round of the league, Millwall beat Bolton 3-1 at home, and Arsenal beat Birmingham 2-1 at home.


    Arsenal won extremely thrilling, and after losing in the FA Cup semi-final, their tension was much heavier than Millwall.


    Although Millwall claims to take into account the European War, but in the specific analysis, Millwall''s consumption may be only one more league than Arsenal.


    Because they played in the Champions League for two rounds in London, East London to West London, Arsenal and Manchester United have to play in the FA Cup semi-finals.


    Millwall played lightly in the second round of the Champions League semi-finals, Aldridge continued to play anti-reverse, the teenagers played well, Robben and C Ronaldo played against the winger crazy inwardly, plus Kaka and Villa in front Echoing around the court, Millwall scored 2:2 with Chelsea on the road, with a total score of 7:2 and advanced to the Champions League final.

 Chapter 970： farewell

    The penultimate round of the Premier League finale stage took place on May 8.


    The weather in Yorkshire was breezy and sunny that day.


    A group of people from London were depressed.


    Outside of a stadium, there are still two hours before the game. At this time, there are already a lot of people here.


    A group of people standing far from the street corner was wearing a dark blue jersey.


    Brady, Thor, and Fred, the three Aldridge''s personal friends, are now all in a family. Like the football portal established by Brady and Fred, they have become two millionaires. Er is an ordinary wage earner, but the income is quite impressive.


    The three of them, two of them with their wives, one with their girlfriends, plus some relatives and friends.


    Brady smoked and leaned on the pole to helplessly. They had left the fan organization, similar to the honorary member, but no longer participated in the management of the fan organization. If they go to the Lion King Stadium to watch the ball, they will naturally not worry about the tickets. Season ticket.


    However, in this away game, less and less came to see the ball.


    Mainly due to time constraints, career, family, there are always many, many constraints that prevent them from freely arranging time.


    By the end of the season, the old friends agreed to support Millwall together, and from April on, the field will not fall.


    Suddenly, I did not expect to get a hard vote today.


    Today''s tickets were fired by the ox party to be equivalent to 1/3 of Sol''s monthly salary.


    One can imagine why they were depressed.


    "Or, call Aldridge? See if he can help get some tickets?"


    Saul had just asked about the scalper fare, and then whispered, frowning.


    Fred patted his head very politely, and Ling Yi said: "Don''t, don''t disturb him at this time. Besides, we usually invite friends to watch the ball at the Lion King Stadium. The ticket is troublesome for Aldridge. Second time, today is an away game, and the game will start immediately. Where can he get your ticket?"


    Saul was in a loss, he didn''t slap it, and bowed his head to smoke.


    He is a real person and never swollen to be fat.


    Today, not only he and his girlfriend, but also brought a younger brother over there. If he bought a scalpel ticket with his pocket, the one-month salary of his mother would be smashed here.


    Brady is the "leader brother" in this circle of friends. He is righteous. His opinions are usually the most important. At this time, his depressed expression was swept away and he smiled: "You said this wrong, the more you are Trouble Aldridge, he is happier instead, how to say? Although he is not stupid, he has some extra thoughts, for fear that we deliberately distanced him, after all, his family is rich enough to make people vomit blood. Alas, forget it, today I¡¯m wondering if you¡¯re being slaughtered. We¡¯re not Chelsea Manchester United fans. This group of scalpers has quite a stand. The visiting team¡¯s ticket is double that of the home team¡¯s ticket. For his whole family, I¡¯m here today. Wait, I''ll swipe my card."


    When Brady finished speaking, he went to the nearby cash machine to withdraw money.


    When the money was withdrawn, Fred and Sol went to buy tickets according to the number of people.


    "Look clearly and give money, don''t be tainted by this group of oxen. In case you are sitting among the fans of the home team, Cao, today it is estimated that if you don''t go back to London, you will be sent to the hospital!"


    ...


    The attendance rate of the All England Premier League is very high, which stems from the maturity of the fan market, but the high attendance rate does not mean that the field is full, and only some big teams, plus the focus of warfare, the attendance rate can reach the hard-to-find standard.


    Today''s game in Yorkshire is hard to come by.


    Fans of both teams are hard to come by.


    The home team''s tickets are in short supply, and the away team''s tickets are really scarce. The home team''s publicly sold tickets have long been sold out, and most of them are in the hands of the ox party, waiting for the fans to be slaughtered.


    The home team fans were slaughtered willingly.


    Away fans are a lot of people who can¡¯t afford to be killed. Many crazy lion fans don¡¯t come before they can¡¯t buy a ticket. When they came to want to buy more money to buy a scallop ticket, they were frightened and immediately went back to their homes to support their hearts. What is the bloodletting support picture for the beloved crazy lion


    For Millwall, today is not a battle of life and death.


    On the contrary, for the home team fans, the team that supports them today is really about the life and death of the club!


    The penultimate round of the Premier League.


    Millwall heads to Leeds, Yorkshire!


    Before the penultimate round of the Premier League, Leeds United ranked 18th with 33 points. Manchester City ranked 17th with 38 points.


    The possibility of Leeds United theory relegation success still exists, winning two games in a row and Manchester City losing two games in a row, then Leeds United will have 39 points to leave Manchester City behind.


    However, this theoretical possibility is almost 0!


    First of all, they are going to beat Millwall in the standings today!


    So, this game can be seen as Leeds United fans pouring into the Elland Road Stadium to cheer for the home team, hoping that the team will perform a miracle!


    Can also be seen as Leeds United fans to see off the White Rose!


    Miracles Miracles, if miracles appear so well, are they not as cheap as the streets?


    Leeds United performed badly throughout the season. Suddenly overturning the thriving lion at home?


    Who the **** believes? !


    ...


    The game is about to start. In the channel of Elland Road, the two players stand in formation and ready to play. Leeds United has their heads up, showing their fighting spirit.


    Millwall dismissed Leeds United.


    A season of 38 rounds of league games, the first 36 games won only 8 games, what is the posture to swear to death? Why did you go?


    As a player, Millwall will have no sympathy for Leeds United.


    Who made you so messy?


    Who told you not to play well?


    As for how tragic and desolate the outside media portrayed the rapid fall of Leeds United, Millwall would only find it funny.


    On the other hand, Leeds United is really different, and even failure seems to be a "magnificent epic" in the outside world.


    Aldridge walked into the stadium and shook hands with Leeds United coach Gray, and then calmly walked to the visiting team coach to stand still. He couldn''t hear the home team fans boo him. The home team fans were busy building the home field. White Rose''s military song Echoing in Elland Road Stadium, I don''t know, I thought how magnificent the atmosphere of Leeds United''s home stadium was.


    Looking up at the sky, Adriatic murmured to himself, "Today is a good day to say goodbye."


    In this situation, it is inevitable that people are confused.


    In less than two years, Leeds United was almost unrecognizable.


    O''Reilly is gone, and Ritzdale has also been expelled this season. Now it is the local consortium that is in charge of Leeds United, but the bankruptcy of Leeds United is inevitable. The latest news is that they are now selling at home, and The price is very, very low.


    At that time, most of the young guards in white fluttering for the Champions League had left the team, either in the summer of 02, last summer, or even when the winter window opened, they still had to sell people to "patch up the home."


    Nowadays staying in the line can still be called the name, in addition to the veteran who can not sell, there are only Alan Smith, Viduka, Mills, Robinson... Fortunately, there is no sigh No old friend.


    No one believed that Leeds United could succeed in relegation, but when the hope for victory was most needed and the hope of saving lives, Leeds United encountered Millwall again.


    This makes the "White Rose Legend" in the mouth of countless fans unable to escape the shadow of a mad lion!


    At that time, Ritzdale and O''Reilly recruited heavily, and spent a huge sum of 60 million pounds to introduce a strong support team to Millwall. It cannot be said that it supported the spine of white roses, but it was also a half of the river.


    And when they interpreted the "White Rose Legend" to the peak, they happened to encounter a mad lion in the Champions League semi-finals. At that time, no one expected that it was from then on that the pinnacle was also a turning point for decline. The bloodbath slaughter, and then missed the Champions League, last season lasting, this season, only 90 minutes away from the relegation, and it will be Millwall who dominates all this!


    Millwall doesn''t even need to defeat the opponent, as long as he gets a draw, Leeds United will be relegated! Because Manchester City, who took the lead in the match, lost to Middlesbrough on the Riverside Stadium, Leeds United is one step closer to the miracle. It seems that they will be close to the Lions and they will narrow the gap with Manchester City to 2 points. If they can¡¯t win, Leeds United The gap to Manchester City is 5 or 4 points, which is not important.


    As for Millwall, in the case of one point behind Arsenal but more goal difference than the other side, this game is no different from 3 points, unless Arsenal fell off the chain to win the game, even Milwaukee He tied the game, Arsenal won, and the gap returned to 3 points. Millwall still had to score 3 points in the final round to Highbury to reverse the summit.


    Thinking of this, Aldridge could not help but sigh.


    Looking around Elland Road Stadium, looking at the faces that firmly support the beloved team, watching the Leeds United fans take off their shirts and writing the big words to support the team, watching the dazzling flags flutter, and the slogans lined up...


    Who the **** is this goddamn!


    If it is a team that itself survives on the relegation line, no one will pay special attention to Leeds United fans.


    However, Leeds United is the last Premier League champion, a team that has survived on England¡¯s top court for 14 consecutive years, and is still the top four in the Champions League three years ago!


    At this time, the atmosphere of Elland Road Stadium is closer to tragic.


    Naturally, people will be touched.


    However, deep inside, Aldridge did not sympathize with Leeds.


    Just like last summer, when Leeds United coach Peter Reed visited Aldridge, hoping to hire Millwall players to enrich the lineup, but Aldridge did not want to nod in his good personal relationship with Reed and refused to accept each other. The reason is the same as the original rejection of Mourinho.


    You cannot guarantee yourself, and Leeds United is turbulent again. I will not rent my players there. There are too many hidden dangers!


    Leeds United is paying a price for their team-building model, and the cycle of reason is normal.


    If it feels unfair, then blame Ritzdale is not Abu, Abu hit Chelsea is private wealth, Ritzdale can only overdraw the future of Leeds United as a bet.

 Chapter 971： Sink and declare war

    Three years ago, Leeds United, a young guard who was blooming and magnificent, struggled on the death line three years later.


    On Elland Road, more than 90% of the stands today are fans of Leeds United. The stadium is full and full of momentum.


    Leeds United can''t say how much confidence from top to bottom, at least, the ray of miracle has already appeared.


    Hasn''t Manchester City already lost a game?


    Today Millwall did not send the strongest lineup.


    Ronaldinho was hidden in the snow, and Nedved continued to rest today. Larsen was slightly injured and sat on the bench. Even Schneider''s position was replaced by Ramos, who was just 18 years old.


    How to look at it, the fighting power of the mad lion should be weakened by at least 40% today.


    "In the penultimate round of the Premier League this season, Leeds United in the relegation zone took home the second league Millwall at Elland Road. Today''s game is very critical for both teams. If Leeds United cannot win Millwall, they will definitely be relegated! If Arsenal wins this round, and Millwall loses, the Premier League championship will also be born one round in advance! It can be said that this is a game that can not be lost by both teams."


    Aldridge''s formations are very targeted today.


    The trident is Ronaldo, Henry, Robben.


    Midfielders are De Rossi, Alonso and Ramall.


    Without a front waist, Ramall hit the midfielder and connected with the double back in a small area.


    To win, Leeds United must inevitably move forward to attack the midfield line. As long as Millwall forms a strong sniper in the midfield, then the offensive space in the front field will naturally appear. Two modern wingers go crazy against the foot and have a midfield. Henry, as the biggest firepower attraction, will definitely not lack opportunities.


    At the end of the season at the end of the season, the fighting intent is high, and the game is highly targeted.


    If you encounter a Leeds United that needs 1 point to be relegated, Aldridge must not care too much, and must send the strongest lineup to play.


    But for a Leeds United team that had to force 3 points, Aldridge did not have to put on the strongest lineup. He was afraid to scare the opponent and give him some hope. This is a strategic temptation.


    Leeds United, who performed poorly throughout the season, this game is just a lot of fighting. The core content of the competitive strength, the team, they did not show the strength that made Millwall panic.


    In the 11th minute of the game, Leeds United''s side pass was intercepted by Ashley Cole. The latter crossed the middle of the circle. After Ramor got the ball, he dodged the opponent who was robbing him and then passed a left pass. Give the ball to Ronaldo.


    After C Ronaldo touched the ball, he went straight to accelerate the ball. He had space to start and to accelerate. There was only a full line of defenders in front of him. After Henry attracted two central defenders in the middle, C Ronetce took the ball and full-back Hart. The defender failed to complete the interception. Ronaldo made a two-on-one with Henry in front of the big penalty area line, and then strongly entered the penalty area to form a single-shot trend. He kicked off Robinson''s ten fingers!


    The Elland Road Stadium is silent!


    The cheering in the stadium came to an abrupt halt, and the silence was like ice.


    "C Ronaldo scored his tenth goal in the league! This young guy, who has made the same number of appearances last season, has markedly improved his scoring ability compared to last season, and the number of goals has almost doubled! He has contributed 18 goals to the team this season! There are 13 assists! Although Millwall fans lamented the years, Larsen¡¯s scoring rate has dropped significantly this season, and his playing style is also changing. The round locked the league assists king, but it is undeniable that Millwall needs a stable scoring point on the front line in the future, and he cannot hand over all the burden to Henry. The rise of C Ronaldo makes all the fans of the Lions see hope. Cristiano Ronaldo will be the scoring machine for the next mad lion when the burning energy shines in the later stage of his career."


    During the league finale sprint, Millwall scored every goal in the league and their celebration was wild!


    The young C Ronaldo ran snarly toward the side of the court with a stern look.


    Everyone knows that Millwall¡¯s goal is indeed destroying his opponent, but they are targeting the same city opponent in North London: Arsenal!


    Every goal, every victory, is putting pressure on Arsenal, who still have an undefeated gold body in the league!


    Elland Road Stadium has been silent for a long time, the fans in the stands did not explode, and the cheering before the game could no longer grow.


    What the White Rose fans are worried about, the unwillingness to admit and avoid the reality with fluke, is being staged in front of you!


    They made their hearts throb and make them uneasy. They opened their mouths and wanted to shout out cheering words, but they seemed to become a weak sob.


    The body''s strength seemed to be drained, and the love was tired, tired, and numb, and dazed.


    When Real Madrid fans left in Morientes, the galaxy star-studded galactic warships sighed and sighed when they couldn''t bear the record: this may be the life!


    Real Madrid is paying for their team-building model that violates the laws of football.


    While Leeds United fans watched Millwall not celebrating them at this time, seeing that the young master who was loved by the majority of the people in England stood indifferently, most of them also had the same sigh: everything, all It''s life!


    Once upon a time, Ritzdale said that he wanted to make Leeds United into the next Millwall.


    O''Reilly is going to be the next Audridge.


    But now, the rotation, the rise of Leeds United, the pinnacle of Leeds United, the fall of Leeds United, can not escape the shadow of mad lion and Aldridge, how long will this nightmare exist? do not know¡­¡­


    It didn''t take long for the game to begin, but Leeds United players were dry on the court, and there was a magic that made the body heavy and loose, making them prefer to fall and let everything end.


    Leeds United is not strong, if they are strong, they will not fall into this field, but all teams with strength within the unity when the crisis comes, can immediately play a few beautiful battles.


    And Leeds United, like a weak promotion, who can imagine Leeds United has conceded more than 2 goals this season? The total number of goals conceded has exceeded 75!


    The number of goals is less than 40!


    Shocking league statistics are enough to explain everything about this team.


    In other words, on the performance of Leeds United this season.


    You don''t downgrade!


    It''s unreasonable!


    The team''s fighting spirit, which was condensed before the game to perform a miracle, immediately turned after the blow of the ball was dropped, just like the rate of Leeds United falling from the peak to the valley in three years, crashing!


    The white knights are fighting hard and working hard, but they fight each other, fall, climb up, sprint and fight at full speed, what about?


    People can''t run the ball, a person controls the ball, never compares to a team to control the ball!


    Millwall was like a cruel deity, letting Leeds United carry out a weak impact resistance, and when Leeds United waved out the shock, Millwall counterattacked, or advanced from the back to the front, like a peerless The soldier blade tears, dismembers, and crushes the White Rose Legion!


    In the 28th minute, the teenager Ramos boldly assisted, and returned to the middle of the penalty area after the assist, Ramor sent a straight plug to Ronaldo. The Portuguese kid did not waste this golden opportunity, which is similar to the first. A goal was taken from the same place, and once again penetrated the goal guarded by Robinson.


    Ten minutes later, Ronaldo was closely guarded by Leeds United. The opponent''s defense shifted his focus. Henry was released and the ball was accelerated before the penalty area. The opponent''s defender was lightly pushed and broke the goal, increasing his league goals to 32 goals. .


    When the European mainstream league entered the finale, Henry''s goals this season made him once again the biggest favorite of the European Golden Boots. As for the Golden Boots of the Premier League, there is no suspense. Henry throws Ibrahimovic, the second-ranked shooter, on the list. 10 goals kicked!


    After the first half, the overall situation is set.


    At other times, Leeds United fans will quit.


    However, no one is willing to leave today, even if the result is destined, no one will leave early, as if the body has no energy, sitting on the stadium stands, no longer praying for anything, just witnessing this happen naturally, ending ''s arrival


    During Millwall''s intermission, Aldridge let the team stay in the second half to keep the kick, even if the scene is ugly.


    A sad atmosphere filled the Elland Road stadium.


    Millwall did not put any more pressure on them. Most of the time, he only played a single threat of speed.


    Even so, Leeds United, whose heart was broken, could not resist Millwall.


    Robben''s problems accompany the entire season.


    Independence, too independence, so unique that it makes teammates angry and makes the coach a bit collapsed!


    He is not like Cristiano Ronaldo. Cristiano Ronaldo has been trained in Millwall before entering the first team. Regardless of his playing thinking or habits, even if he occasionally thinks that the limelight is too much, he will divide the occasion and take care of the emotions of his teammates. In addition, he entered the first team, the offensive player in the frontcourt, that is a few Mr. Golden Ball, how could he be a little brother, knowing the sky is thick?


    However, Robben came to the team for a short time, and his playing habits were difficult to change. While integrating into Millwall, he always wanted to show himself.


    If it weren¡¯t for Leeds United today, Robben repeatedly shot five times, Aldridge replaced him long ago.


    It is undeniable that Robben''s talent and strength, this is no, the second half finally received a return. In the 71st minute, he cut in the right and made a long shot from the left foot. The ball went straight to the far corner of the goal. To expand the score to 4:0.


    Only after he scored a goal, Peter Pan ran to the sidelines and celebrated loudly, Aldridge frowned, and asked the players on the court to drag him back, causing Robben to be dissatisfied, as if he had worked hard. After a ball, the head coach will not let him celebrate!


    What is the reason?


    Makes no sense.


    The overall situation has been decided, the icing on the cake, and the away game, what can be celebrated?


    Moreover, we should also look at the atmosphere of the stadium.


    Millwall and Leeds had a grudge, but they were not dead enemies after all. In the past, people who were tit-for-tat had gone for most of the time. They are now in the water, so why bother spreading salt on each other''s wounds? This fell into the eyes of the outside world and was not good for Millwall''s image.


    Aldridge made substitutions one after another. Before the end, Ramall also scored a goal and ended at 5:0.


    "The whole game is over! Millwall defeated Leeds United without resistance at 5-0 away. After a lapse of 14 years, Leeds United relegated from the top league in England!"


    This game is a microcosm of Leeds United''s performance throughout the season. The fighting spirit, unity, and will are all illusions disguised, and it is really full of chaos in the competition, struggling!


    The results were announced.


    The white rose of Yorkshire is completely withered!


    Fourteen years ago, Leeds United was promoted from the Premier League to the then Premier League Premier League.


    Thirteen years ago, Leeds United returned to the top league season and finished fourth in the league!


    Twelve years ago, Leeds United returned to the top league the following year and won the Champions League!


    It was an era when Ferguson had not won the league title for six years at Manchester United. It was an era when Liverpool, Arsenal and Everton alternately won the championship.


    In the summer of 1992, the watershed of the revolution in English football, the Premier League was born!


    Leeds United, the finalist of the Premier League era, withdrew from the top league stage after 12 years of reincarnation in the Premier League era!


    On the stands of Elland Road Stadium, countless fans burst into tears, and countless fans stared sadly at their home stadium. Soon, this stadium will be sold at a bargain price...


    A grieving song sounded, and tens of thousands of Elland Road fans left Leeds United in a farewell.


    No matter how bad Leeds United¡¯s performance this season, the feelings of the players here are undoubtedly. The players who are paralyzed on the ground hide their faces, the hot tough guy Smith tears into the green field, and the shirtless Leeds on the stands supporters, one less than 10 The little boy crying and singing loudly...


    The live broadcast screen was finally fixed in the corner of the stand, and three or five fans pulled out a two-meter banner that read: We shouldn¡¯t end this!


    I don¡¯t know if we are referring to Leeds United club or die-hard fans of Leeds United. When he saw there, Aldridge would rather understand it as a fan. Their crazy support, indeed, should not be the end. With Leeds United Fall into the abyss together...


    Elland Road is staged a spectacular scene of tens of thousands of home team fans farewell to Leeds United.


    Millwall did not celebrate, Aldridge walked to the player channel, at this moment, it seems that Millwall''s victory in this game also seems irrelevant.


    However, Aldridge still has to perfect his work.


    Before entering the player¡¯s tunnel, Aldridge stopped in front of the camera on the sidelines. There are many seats on the court. Maybe it will not be broadcast live for the first time. However, when the live broadcaster organizes the picture after the game, he will definitely As news, a bomb sent by Aldridge was sent from Fleet Street to Highbury in North London.


    Aldrich reached out and tapped the lens of the camera, and said softly to the lens: "Arsenal, Millwall is here!"


    His move was seen by the player behind him. Ronaldinho, who was sitting on the bench for 90 minutes, immediately followed with a serious expression, imitating Aldridge''s behavior, reached out and tapped the camera lens, and said coldly: "Arsenal, Millwall is here!"


    Afterwards, Millwall''s players, whether they came off the bench or in the last game, made this move before entering the player channel.


    The third-generation mad lion officially declared its strongest opponent in the Premier League this season!

 Chapter 972： Beat yourself

    The closing battle is at hand.


    Compared to any other season, the big and small suspense disappeared.


    The three relegated teams will not change again.


    The four teams that lock in the Champions League qualifications will not change.


    Arsenal led by 1 point and Millwall followed.


    Manchester United have 1 point more than Chelsea, but Chelsea have 7 points more than Liverpool in fifth place.


    It''s hard to say what the suspense is, that is Manchester United and Chelsea, who will eventually play in the UEFA Champions League play-offs, which teams will occupy the UEFA Cup, at least, Liverpool must be qualified for the UEFA Cup.


    The relegation of Leeds United is sensational. In addition to White Rose bidding farewell to the 14-year top league stage, it is also unbelievable that the speed of Leeds United falling from the peak to the bottom is too fast.


    Aldridge and Millwall will declare war on the camera at Elland Road Stadium, a simple sentence: Arsenal, Millwall is here!


    Became the latest buzzword in England.


    At the same time, Millwall is the guest of Highbury in the closing game, and the odds of winning the championship are the same as Arsenal!


    In the eyes of the outside world, 37 rounds of undefeated Arsenal, plus home advantage, can be on the same level as Millwall!


    Because, Millwall is too domineering!


    It''s crazy!


    It was so suffocating that it was impossible to question their determination and strength to reverse Arsenal!


    Fleet Street lists the comparison of the two teams in the first half of the record.


    The first half of the league.


    Arsenal have 13 wins and 6 draws with 45 points.


    Millwall had 11 wins, 7 draws and 1 loss, with 40 points.


    The second half of the league ends before the final battle.


    Arsenal have 12 wins and 6 draws, with 42 points.


    Millwall had 14 wins and 4 draws and had 46 points.


    Total record:


    Arsenal have 87 points.


    Millwall scored 86 points.


    It can be seen that Arsenal''s performance in the first half of the match is the same, and Millwall is better in the second half than the first half. Their 18 games in the second half of the league only lost 8 points in total!


    Although there is no such thing as a rainbow that has won more than 6 games in a row, they have not appeared in a row.


    Talking about the stability and strength of the state, it is clear that Millwall beat Arsenal in the second half. If you look at the number of goals, Millwall will finish Arsenal even more, not to mention their Champions League reached the final!


    It is this momentum that the third-generation mad lion in the second half of this season really shaped the impact of the outbreak, making the outside world unable to see the low probability of Millwall winning the championship.


    That''s right, Arsenal have home court advantage.


    However, Arsenal''s last league title was 98 years, and Millwall is obviously more champion than Arsenal.


    And in a fixed game, the outside world is more optimistic about Aldridge than Wenger.


    Don''t look at the game as a league!


    Just as a 90-minute final at Arsenal!


    Within 90 minutes, Arsenal were undefeated, and Arsenal won the undefeated season!


    In 90 minutes, Millwall defeated Arsenal, and Millwall staged a miracle reversal!


    Such a miracle will exceed the countdown lore of the last moment.


    Because, from the end of the second round of the league, Arsenal has been the leader of the league!


    This advantage has been maintained for 35 rounds, more than 8 months!


    In the Serie A stadium, AC Milan has already won the championship ahead of schedule. Ancelotti has been suffocated by Deportivo in the Champions League and has a super-reversed black history. Fortunately, there are league champions in the bag as a comfort.


    In the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich has a long way to go to replace the team. Bremen accidentally killed and also completed the championship in advance!


    In the La Liga field, Benitez has completed two league titles in three years. In the post-Cooper era, no one expected to complete a big leap in Benitez''s hands and stepped the La Liga duo underfoot! The La Liga champion was born before the final battle!


    In the Ligue 1 stadium, Lyon has successfully completed three consecutive championships, but the overall strength of the Ligue 1 team is getting bigger and bigger than the top European teams, and is gradually marginalized.


    In the five major leagues in Europe, only the Premier League champions are still pending and will be decided in the final battle!


    It will be Aldridge¡¯s 28th birthday in 5 days.


    This birthday is very commemorative.


    At least the people around him and the fans who love him look like this.


    Because it also means that he has gone through a "decade" in his coaching career!


    Despite the episode that left last season, he never left the football world.


    With such a well-developed information, Aldridge received many birthday gifts from fans all over the world who liked him.


    Among them, a gift he particularly loves is a fan from China. He collected the photographs of his classic stadium conductors for each season over the past decade, and finally there are ten pictures of facial close-ups.


    That was 94, 95, 96... Until 2004, in ten seasons, he had exceptionally clear photos of each season. The change in appearance felt from a lush young man to a handsome young man, to a mature man who has become a family now. .


    Aldridge put this elaborate album on the bookshelf, reminding himself that if he becomes a middle-aged uncle in a few years, he can take it out and appreciate it. He proudly told himself that when he was Fenghua Zhengmao, he also had It''s popular with thousands of girls, yes, this gift was sent by a beautiful girl in China, with a photo of her...


    In the past, Burt and Earl rarely went to watch games away, unless they were sitting in a VIP box with Grandpa Arthur. Today, they are invited by a group of friends and family to go to Arsenal Stadium in North London. Order is guaranteed, after all, Arsenal''s home court is known as the "quietest" stadium in the Premier League.


    Millwall''s bus drove to North London, and from the crowds of people who gathered in Highbury in all directions, blue and red and white gradually became the mainstream, and eventually formed two chambers of courtesy tones, surrounding Highbury!


    Is the Premier League the first league in the world?


    The ghost knows.


    Aldridge didn''t care either.


    Isn''t it the first league, did he strike? Does he not want to be a champion?


    What is first and second, he doesn''t care at all. In England anyway, Millwall wants to be the boss and go to the European arena. Millwall still wants to be the boss. No matter where you are Europa, the bull ghost and snake god, stop me from sealing the king and destroy it!


    Today''s game, the ending game of the Premier League, with the propaganda of Fleet Street, will surely become the most watched game in the world football!


    The expected value will even far exceed the Champions League final.


    After coming to Highbury''s visiting team locker room, Aldridge waited for the players to warm up.


    Looking at the team members who have sorted out their jersey shoes and equipment, they have a strong and aggressive look!


    Aldridge said lightly with one hand: "Unfortunately, our season is almost over."


    regret?


    No player felt strange, and even many people nodded subconsciously.


    They are very different from Arsenal.


    Arsenal can be said that since the beginning of last season, the team has reached a state of approximate peak, but it has not continued in full.


    Only then has Arsenal stabilized from start to finish this season.


    However, to say how strong they are, it must be advocated by the media, but the league is undefeated. Moreover, 12 draws and 24 points were lost, which makes them unable to compete with the past even if they have completed the myth of undefeated championship. Millwall, who won the undefeated singles this season, is on a par. In points, the number of goals, including the comparison of other fronts over the same period, can not be comparable to the second generation of crazy lions.


    It can be said that Arsenal''s potential value of 100 points has been mined by at least 90 points, and then it will rise upwards. I am afraid that it will be difficult. Even if there is real progress, it is almost unnoticeable by the naked eye.


    And they insisted on a game close to 9 months a season, the state is stable, but they also have fatigue and psychological boredom.


    But Millwall is different.


    Millwall had been tempering in the first half of the season, and it really broke out from the second half of the season. They would feel that they were preparing for the first half of the season, and only really exerted force in the second half of the season. Now they are enjoying the game on the court. Without getting bored, I hope to play as many games as possible, step on opponents as much as possible, and enjoy more brilliant victories.


    At least mentally, Millwall should be more aggressive than Arsenal.


    "From the beginning, I never told you who we are chasing, Arsenal has been in front of us, yes, the outside world has been describing Millwall chasing Arsenal hard, this is not correct, before the season, I As I said, there is only one enemy of Millwall! That is ourselves, and now that we have defeated ourselves, you should be able to understand what I am talking about."


    Aldridge''s words made the team nodded in unison.


    In the Millwall locker room, Aldridge never talked about Arsenal, never won because of Arsenal''s win, or used the gap in the standings as a reason to whip the team, stimulate the team, and motivate the players.


    No, Arsenal does not exist in the Millwall locker room.


    On the contrary, Aldridge constantly aimed at Arsenal in front of the media, putting pressure on Arsenal, making Arsenal unable to ignore the existence of Millwall.


    This is his psychological warfare.


    Internal decompression, external pressure on opponents.


    "The enemy is only yourself?"


    It was just a false empty talk.


    What is yourself?


    How to beat yourself?


    I can''t say it concretely, but it''s such empty talk, it sounds like the atmosphere, it seems to sublimate the goal, improve the pursuit, and at the same time make the team''s temperament also become detached.


    Such speculative empty words sometimes have wonders.


    For example now.


    The players are nodding.


    Aldrich''s already tense emotions were immediately washed away.


    He wanted to ask everyone: Why did you nod?


    In the process, what kind of self did you defeat?


    Perhaps the players felt that they were not lazy and became super self-disciplined, which was a victory.


    Or a breakthrough in performance on the court is also a victory.


    Or the improvement of the reading ability of the game, as if an enlightenment has been opened, that is, to overcome the illusory things like the "devil" and the "bottleneck".


    Especially Alonso, De Rossi, Ronaldo, these young players, take Aldridge''s words deeply.


    However, Aldrich couldn''t actually describe these words concretely, because he only worked seriously for a season, and it was much easier than in the past years. At least, he never worked overtime after work.

 Chapter 973： The mad lion is coming!

    All the players in the Millwall team made a self-affirmation. In this season of shaping the third-generation mad lion, it is similar to the rebuilding season. The team is flourishing, unity inside and outside, and there is no right and wrong outside the court. Inside, compared to the rave after the defeat last season, street fighting, and even the players in the team secretly disagree, etc., Millwall became smooth and united.


    This self-affirmation is also an incentive.


    The psychological hint is very obvious: after working hard for a season, you cannot let all efforts go to waste!


    Aldridge looked relaxed before the team was ready to play, saying: "We are facing two finals, one today, and one UEFA Champions League final at the end of the month. Is anyone afraid of Arsenal?"


    De Rossi immediately shouted: "What are you afraid of? They gave us the championship!"


    The team immediately echoed in unison!


    Aldrich pointed his finger at De Rossi and said lightly: "Don''t get to the end, don''t make a conclusion too early, you should understand me, in front of the reporter, you should not take what I said seriously."


    At yesterday¡¯s final press conference, Aldridge put pressure on Arsenal for the last time, saying: ¡°Arsenal did not perform as well as us in the second half of the season, but they took the initiative to send the opportunity to Millwall. In front of me, under such circumstances, what reason does Millwall miss?"


    Arsenal have performed perfectly enough, but in Aldridge''s mouth, Arsenal is only about the same as Manchester United four years ago.


    "Manchester United in the 99-00 season also performed very well. Counting it, before the end of the game, Manchester United had more points than today''s Arsenal. However, Manchester United did not win the league championship. Perhaps 99 out of 100 people will I said Arsenal is amazing, but I am the one who said that Arsenal is not worth marveling because my Millwall used to be better than today¡¯s Arsenal. After tomorrow¡¯s final battle, today¡¯s Millwall It will also prove in the league that we are better than Arsenal today."


    Aldridge deliberately ignored Arsenal¡¯s excellence, and infinitely enlarged their points in the league. A draw means losing 2 points. No team will win the championship, but even if Millwall points behind Arsenal. However, Aldrich is amplifying Arsenal''s loss of points, as if exaggeratingly depicting Arsenal made a huge mistake!


    Listen, Arsenal sent the opportunity to Millwall!


    The continuous bombardment of public opinion and psychological warfare will subtly affect Arsenal''s mentality of ending the war.


    Today''s Aldridge is very similar to that of Ferguson. At that time, Ferguson lost to Aldridge in the league.


    Ferguson, who failed to defend his title this season, rejoiced, and said only one sentence: "Winger is not Hall''s opponent."


    I don''t know if it''s psychological warfare, or there are subtexts saying that Arsenal is not as good as Millwall.


    At least, Ferguson has this confidence to say this. No matter how the outside world describes Arsenal''s myth, the points in the standings are the only transcripts that prove everything.


    For example, if you get 38 draws throughout the season, it is also undefeated in the season, but 38 points, there is a small probability that you will be relegated.


    And Manchester United chased Millwall that season, Manchester United failed, but eventually scored more than 90 points, still the runner-up, so bleak and tragic, compared with today, Ferguson added Wenger to chaos, it is also reasonable, heart Unbalanced.


    It would be great if Millwall in 2000 and Millwall in 2004 were swapped!


    Manchester United can win another league title, and Arsenal, even if they are undefeated throughout the season, can only get the runner-up, to see if anyone will admire and admire Arsenal indefinitely.


    Wenger narrowed the gap from being narrowed by Millwall to 1 point, hanging up the free card, and more or less looked angry and angry. He said that before the battle of Highbury came, it was a joke to win the championship in advance. Can criticize Aldridge''s always commenting on others'' teams, expressing some dissatisfaction, but also turning a blind eye to Millwall''s crazy momentum.


    Everything that happens outside the court is to pave the way for the final battle at the end of the season.


    Millwall''s mental outlook, fighting spirit, decisive spirit, guest attitude, etc., what Audridge does is to make the team forget the point gap as much as possible when it comes to Highbury, and try not to go as much as possible. Look forward and backward.


    Similarly, for Arsenal, it also disrupts the opponent and exerts psychological and psychological pressure on the opponent, making Arsenal more nervous and infinitely magnifying the winning and losing hearts!


    After making sure the players are ready, Aldridge lets the players play.


    Today, he still put Larson on the bench, replacing Ronaldo with Ronaldo.


    In the player channel, Aldridge suddenly called Ronaldo aside. Now Ronaldo, who looks stronger than the same period in the original history, is like a warrior with his head up and facing Aldridge.


    Looking at the kid who is about to become a "high handsome", Aldridge hugs Ronaldo''s head with both hands, staring solemnly at his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Cristiano, although you are not yet 20 years old, but , I think you are a born strong! Remember the scene when we first met?"


    Ronaldo nodded slightly, and did not mind Aldridge making such a move in front of Millwall and Arsenal players.


    The day they met for the first time, the little boy Ronaldo misunderstood Aldridge as a bad guy and stood bravely in front of his mother to protect his family like an upright man.


    Aldridge continued: "You have fulfilled your promise that day, concentrate on playing football and change the fate of your family. Now, it is time for you to pursue your dreams. If you are an ordinary player, then today you are the supporting role ! But, in my eyes, you are not! Right?"


    Ronaldo nodded fiercely! His eyes glowed fiercely, very fiercely!


    He is Cristiano Ronaldo.


    He is born strong!


    He was born for victory!


    He wants to be the Caesar Emperor who conquers everything on the football field!


    This is his dream.


    He was very happy, his head discovered his ambitions, and, agree with him!


    Aldridge gently pulled his head closer to himself, and finally his forehead pressed against Ronaldo''s forehead, closing his eyes and whispering: "Cristiano, it''s time for you to realize, shoulder the glory of the mad lion, let yourself Absolutely recognized by this team, let your teammates trust you like a brother on the court, become a core member of the mad lion, become an indispensable existence, help the team win, listen to the screams of the world, and enjoy the 10,000 people Worship, become the protagonist of the pinnacle, Cristiano Ronaldo! Let me be proud of you!"


    Ronaldo''s facial muscles twitched slightly, and his ambition suddenly broke out from the bottom of his heart, and he responded with a deep voice: "Boss, I will make you proud of me, proud of me. I''ve been waiting for this day for eight years! I don''t Will wait again! I am tired of waiting! Boss, please watch me like my family, I will not let any of you down!"


    Aldridge let go of his hands, stared at Ronaldo for three seconds, then turned and walked out of the player''s channel, ignoring the strange vision cast by Arsenal players on the road.


    The coaching staff stepped into the field ahead of time. Many coaches saw the picture of Audridge hugging C Ronaldo''s head in a whisper. Jensen Boas and others were not surprised. They could roughly guess what Audridge was doing, but, Blank and Stella Maggioni did not understand.


    They didn''t rush into the seats on the sidelines. Instead, after Aldridge came out, they whispered in front of the exit of the tunnel and asked, "What did you say to Cristiano?"


    They probably thought Aldridge would change the tactical arrangement on the spot and wanted to see if Aldridge had any whimsy.


    Aldridge grinned at them and shook his head.


    If he doesn''t say it, the coach will stop asking.


    Only he knew that he had lied just now!


    Millwall started today with Henry, Ronaldinho, and Nedved.


    Will Aldridge bet on 19-year-old Ronaldo?


    What a joke?


    If Millwall is a mid-to-upper team, and suddenly a season breaks out to the final battle, perhaps Audridge will really desperately use a strange soldier.


    But Millwall has been a public enemy in Europe for many years, and Ronaldo, 19, wants to take control of the world. To put it bluntly, he is still tender!


    Even if he is ambitious, he can speak on the court.


    As for why lying.


    Because it is tactical to arrange Ronaldo''s starting, in order to stimulate Ronaldo, let him have a sense of ownership all the time in the game, so that he can take care of the overall situation. In short, let him reduce as many minor mistakes as possible this season.


    Aldrich came to Highbury, who was enthusiastic and enthusiastic in the stands!


    He intends to shake hands with Wenger and then habitually say that he will not see him after the game.


    However, Wenger didn''t plan to meet him, and he sat on the coach of the home team early, and his face looked like water, which seemed to cover up his inner tension.


    Aldridge smiled indifferently.


    It is estimated that the psychological battle in the second half of the league really angered Wenger.


    Wenger seemed to be a showman before encountering soldiers. Aldridge was fighting psychological warfare. He was definitely not elaborating the truth. He would inevitably distort or mislead the public, and Wenger himself could not effectively counter Aldridge except for some clich¨¦s. .


    The players from both sides played, and the narrator started the live broadcast with passion.


    "The 2003-2004 season English Premier League finale is about to begin! This is a championship battle! The absolute title battle! Arsenal, who sits at home, has remained undefeated in the first 37 rounds of this season, with 87 points and guest Mill Wall scored only one game with 86 points in 37 rounds. In this game, as long as Arsenal continue to remain undefeated, they will become the second undefeated Premier League king after Millwall. Teacher! Millwall can only claim the league title by defeating Arsenal! This exciting battle..."


    The narrator was suddenly shocked by the atmosphere at the scene.


    Just after the players from both sides stood in Highbury''s stadium, a word unanimously broke out on the stadium stands, which was particularly shocking!


    That was the way the fans of the Lions had agreed before they came here.


    There was a thunderous word in the sky of Highbury.


    "Hi Arsenal! The mad lion visits Highbury!"

 Chapter 974： The decisive battle begins!

    The mad lion visits Highbury!


    In Highbury''s stands, Millwall''s fans are far less than the number of home fans. However, when this domineering cry shook the sky, it seemed that the home atmosphere of Highbury''s home team had disappeared.


    With the appearance of the Milwall team, the generals are powerful, and the champion temperament and the king''s spirit make them extremely shining!


    Millwall is the king of Europe.


    Before the king of Europe, they must be the king of England.


    Before the King of England, they were: King of London!


    King comes!


    Arsenal fans in the stands seemed to want to use the shout to fight back, but the sporadic shouts did not form a magnificent momentum, but just made the cheering of the home team become noisy and noisy.


    Arsenal fans are the quietest fans in the Premier League, derived from their fan class, most of them from the social middle class, where 99% of the local fans like crazy lions are blue-collar class, there is always a barefoot who is not afraid of wearing shoes Intrepid!


    This kind of screaming, ignoring the strange eyes of others, and the fanatics of the mad lion who never had the concept of "lost identity". In their lives, Millwall''s faith in life is far more profound than some noble fans.


    "This is the fan of the crazy lion! They are obviously going to be anti-guest in Highbury! The crazy lion is in Highbury! What a powerful statement!"


    "Looking now, Sir Hall and the crazy lion are really a perfect match. Some people criticized Sir Hall for being too arrogant, thinking that he has always emphasized that Arsenal will fail and Millwall will successfully reverse, but the problem is, if, if If Millwall failed to complete the reversal, wouldn¡¯t Sir Hall become a joke? All his remarks against Arsenal will be recorded in history, and the failure of this season will pin him on the column of shame and be opposed by enemy fans, especially It is the Arsenal fans who have come out and mocked him countless times in the future!"


    "Andy, indeed, this is the psychology of the public. There will be reputational gains and losses. If Haikou is unrealized, it will laugh. If you think about it in reverse, now, countless neutral fans are waiting to see jokes or laugh at them. Arsenal, or mock Sir Hall, have you noticed the problem?"


    "Hahaha, of course! Sir Hall bets on one person''s reputation, but the target of the bet is the entire Arsenal! Sir Hall won, history will remember Millwall''s miracle reversal this season, Sir Hall lost, Arsenal returned to the Premier League championship after six years, but the loser portrayed as a clown will only be Sir Hall! This is the problem! Sir Hall does not care about his personal honor and disgrace when he unfolds against Arsenal During the psychological war, he isolated the team from Millwall from the outside world, so that the team was not affected. All the pressure of public opinion was gathered on his own. When Arsenal was in the league because of a draw When he lost points and was caught up by Millwall, people were talking about the entire team of Arsenal, aiming at their player performance. How much pressure would this have on Arsenal? How did Sir Hall¡¯s psychological battle get in return? Millwall calmly and steadily pursued Arsenal in the league and completed the first full season of returning to Millwall to coach the team to the Champions League final! But what about Arsenal? They have been panicking for two months In the environment of the game, the FA Cup semi-final was blocked by the lack of major general Manchester United, and then the pressure in the league was unprecedented. The goal of Sir Hall has been achieved. For Arsenal, as long as they have not won The game was a mistake! A huge mistake! But Millwall also had a draw in the past two months, but no one cared about Millwall¡¯s loss. Instead, Arsenal became more nervous when it came to the final battle!"


    "The polite Wenger is tired of Sir Hall''s psychological warfare. He believes that Arsenal can achieve success as long as he works hard. However, in England, this football news is a mainstream news public opinion environment every day. The power of the media is very powerful. Sir Hall, Sir Alex Ferguson, they will very sensitively seize the opportunity to guide the trend of public opinion when a specific situation arises, create a better environment for themselves, and create huge pressure and trouble for their opponents."


    "Okay, let¡¯s take a look at the starting lineup of both sides. Today¡¯s final battle will reveal the final answer for us. Arsenal have the advantage of home court and have the advantage of points. Millwall looks unfavorable, but recently In two months, Millwall''s overall strength has taken a leap. At least they have been reminiscent of the invincible crazy lion that swept across Europe two years ago!


    Arsenal started with 442.


    Goalkeeper: Lehman.


    Guards: Lauren, Campbell, Tour¨¦, Van Bronckhorst.


    Midfielders: Yongberg, Vieira, Gilberto Silva, Pires.


    Forwards: Bergkamp, ??Ibrahimovic.


    Arsenal''s lineup is neat and they are fighting at home. The state is okay. I believe they will explode for the championship trophies.


    Millwall started 433.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Nesta, Southgate, Ashley Cole.


    Midfielders: De Rossi, Alonso, Nedved.


    Forwards: C Ronaldo, Henry, Ronaldinho.


    Millwall¡¯s starter had only one surprise today. According to media reports, Larson had recovered from minor injuries in the last round of the league, but he did not play in Elland Road. The outside world predicted that Sir Hall recharged Larson, specializing in this final battle, but Larson still sits on the bench, replacing his starting point is the Portuguese supernova C Ronaldo, it seems that Larson or old injuries relapse Either Sir Hall has other plans, otherwise Larson will definitely be the starting candidate. This decisive battle requires more veteran experience to play a role. Larsen is such a candidate, contributing 29 in the league this season. An assist, if it is young Larson, may break Beckham¡¯s record of 33 assists in a single season, but if it is really young Larson, he will definitely compete with Henry in the Golden Boot Award. Haha, in the use of Larson, I have to admire Sir Hall''s unique vision. He is maximizing the energy of the veterans, exerting their experience, and bringing the greatest help to this reborn team. "


    Aldridge stood on the sidelines to examine Arsenal''s starting.


    Arsenal without Ashley Cole, after Wenger abandoned Silvinho, he focused on building the left-side combination of Dutch Van Bronckhorst and Pires, and Van Bronckhorst''s offensive ability was completely activated.


    Ibrahimovic is not Henry. Henry has a wide range of activities. The combination of the side and the middle is a stronger attack. Ibrahimovic has a natural advantage. For many years at Arsenal, he was tuned by Wenger. This season has also ushered in a big outbreak. , Stepped into the ranks of Europe''s top strikers in one fell swoop.


    The most important person on the offensive end, one who does not watch the game but only has a very weak sense of data existence: Borgkamp!


    In the European football utilitarian football is popular, a word spread in Europe.


    "Want to watch art football? Either go to Bernabeu to see Zidane, or go to Lion King Stadium to see Ronaldinho, or go to Highbury to see Bogkamp!"


    Bergkamp just passed his 35th birthday five days ago.


    In addition to physical problems, for non-outbreak technical players, the decline in technical ability will not be obvious, supplemented by the game experience, the reading ability of the game is gradually improving. The older these players are, the role on the court will also be More obvious.


    Speaking of technical ability alone, Bergkamp¡¯s advantage is to deal with the ball, for example, the average player, stop the ball, get rid of, turn around, observe, make a choice, it may take 3 seconds to get the ball in static, but Borg Players such as Camp, first stop the ball perfectly, connect the next turn or get rid of the action even more in one go, and then make a choice, maybe it will be at least 1 second shorter than the average player.


    This time seems short, but Arsenal''s side storm, quick counterattack, the pursuit of fast!


    Bogkamp''s ability to find free time, capture free time, and attack in the frontcourt in tandem is invisible without watching the game.


    Because if you just look at the data, you will feel that the ice prince is exaggerated too much.


    In Arsenal, he has never had a record of scoring more than 20 goals in a single season, only the first four seasons in double figures!


    Starting from 3 years ago, Bergkamp''s statistics for each season are not focused on goals, but in assists, with 15 assists per season, the number of goals is getting less and less.


    Arsenal''s 442 is by no means 442 in the standard sense, it can even be regarded as 4231.


    If Bergkamp''s data is placed on the front midfield or offensive midfielder, this is the top data, and the tasks he undertakes in the offensive cannot be regarded as a pure forward.


    In fact, it is difficult to define the specific role of Bergkamp on the field, only because of the number of goals he has scored in consecutive seasons, this season is only a transcript of 4 goals, which makes him unable to compete with pure forward No. 9, or The No. 9, which can pass and shoot, is on a par. The decline in assault scoring ability makes him more like a fake No. 10 in the eyes of Aldridge, which is the core of the frontcourt organization, but has expanded the coverage of the organization to the front line.


    As for why it is "pseudo", because he does not have the ability to organize the traditional No. 10 player''s position to tear the opponent''s defense.


    Arsenal mainly counterattacks. Only counterattacks. In a specific environment with wide frontcourt space and broad vision, Bergkamp¡¯s ability to tandem in the center of the offensive system is very critical. Ibrahimovic in front and double backs in the back The assist came up with Pires on the left and Yongberg on the right. Bergkamp transferred the offense and activated the offensive point in the frontcourt, making an unparalleled contribution.


    As for Arsenal''s set of offensive system, Aldridge made a very detailed battle plan in this battle today. To tear the opponent, he must kill his most critical threat point, or the source of the attack. Will not pin his hopes on the flash of a certain star, if so, Millwall will not go to today, and will not be left behind by Arsenal until the final battle.


    The referee''s whistle sounded and Aldridge secretly said: The decisive battle has begun!

 Chapter 975： What is a killer skill?

    Arsenal vs Millwall.


    The most high-profile decisive battle in the final battle of the European mainstream league begins!


    From the first minute of the game, Millwall attacked steadfastly!


    No warm-up, no adaptation, no temptation.


    90 minutes must win!


    Aldridge doesn''t mind whether the offense will be successful, but he wants the team to feel pressure on Arsenal from the first second!


    Pressure to crush the city!


    After this kind of offense that the whole team may not start at a rhythm, there may be many mistakes, but it does not matter, mainly to deter Arsenal, but also to prevent Arsenal from entering the game at the expected rhythm.


    Arsenal''s strong defensive system is a midfielder.


    Vieira and Silva erected two strong generals to erect a solid barrier in front of the penalty area!


    Millwall launched an offensive, and certainly would not advance from the middle.


    They are on the side, and they are firmly on the right.


    Ronaldo''s side!


    In the first ten minutes, Aldridge gave Ronaldo the highest degree of freedom!


    At the pre-match preparation meeting yesterday, Aldridge said to him: "In the first 10 minutes, you hit the bottom line with one rib, don''t consider what the middle road is, and you can only slow down when you pass the big restricted area line! "


    In this game, not only did Millwall concentrate on the whole world, but how could Arsenal take it lightly?


    On their left, there is Pires in front and Van Bronckhorst in the back. It is not difficult for Ronaldo to throw off Pires after halftime. There is Nedved in the middle and Alonso in the left rear. There is also Schneider, who can play with him and then rush forward to break through Piret''s defense zone.


    Unless Pir¨¦ shrinks to the backline or back line.


    But will Arsenal do this?


    of course not!


    A tie will win the league title.


    Ask all Arsenal fans around the world, ask all Arsenal players, and ask their coach Wenger.


    Do you dare to make up your mind to keep a draw?


    Dare? !


    As far as tactical confrontation is concerned, Wenger''s biggest reliance is that Millwall will definitely take the initiative to attack, and Arsenal can maximize their anti-anti-power!


    But if the wing players pull directly back to the back line, even if there is a chance to counterattack, than the speed of the track and field sprint, Arsenal may not be able to beat Millwall, so they will not shrink.


    In theory, Arsenal is only slightly conservative, first of all to strengthen the defense, but in the championship battle, is it possible to be nervous?


    When Cristiano Ronaldo dribble the ball on the right side and quickly hit the bottom line, Pires behind him will naturally chase to the end!


    In fact, Millwall¡¯s offense did not play a crazy posture. The distribution of the third-line stations was clear and the gradient was reasonable. Even if Ronaldo drove the ball on the right, the front line would not surge to many people, there was only one Henry. In deterring the opponent''s back line, Nedved did not overwhelm Vieira and Silva''s tendency to advance.


    But the overall posture of Arsenal''s overall defense was very obvious. The backline did not dare to support the side defense, because Ronaldo was rushing forward against the sideline. Vieira and Silva, either one moved, only the front of the penalty area was left. With a single midfielder, the defense will be very weak, because apart from an Nedved, how can Ronaldinho''s intimate threats be ignored? The two teamed up, even Vieira, will be burst!


    As a result, Cristiano Ronaldo''s breakthrough on the right was actually giving Van Bronckhorst pressure, and behind him, he could attract Pires'' large-scale back defense. With him alone, he wasted two opponents!


    2 minutes into the game, Ronaldo failed to pass Van Bronckhorst on the right side of the bottom line and was kicked by the other side.


    Ronaldo immediately took a corner kick and directly kicked the ball back to Schneider''s foot behind the sideline.


    When Arsenal hadn''t recovered, Schneider passed the ball back to Ronaldo who ran back to the offside position. Ronaldo pretended to break inwards to the bottom line and Van Bronckhorst had lost his position. Ray stuck with Ronaldo and broke the ball to the bottom line, but the referee decided it was a goal kick.


    Ronaldo shook his hand in dissatisfaction, he could not complain to the referee, and immediately ran back to defend.


    Arsenal wanted to make a quick kick kick to counterattack, but in the end they could only take the right side of Yongberg.


    On this side, Lauren''s assist ability is slightly inferior. His combination with Yong Berry is far less powerful than the left attack. Because of this, their offense is more likely to be restricted.


    When Ashley Cole encountered Yongberg on the side, the latter passed the ball to the middle and wanted to find Bergkamp, ??but Bergkamp was attacked by De Rossi and Alonso. Aron Suo easily intercepted the ball, and then Alonso made a long oblique pass, accurately handing the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo who withdrew on the right!


    Millwall again attacked.


    Pire just ran through the half and immediately turned his head back to defend the backcourt.


    Ronaldo''s routine is the same as the previous attack, all the way down the side, Arsenal''s overall formation also quickly retreated after moving forward.


    Van Bronckhorst mainly guards against Ronaldo. Once Ronaldo succeeds, Arsenal''s defender line is dangerous!


    This is also the reason why modern wingers gradually became the mainstream. After the double backs became the mainstream, modern wingers formed threatening points of attack inwardly, instead of responding to assists, which is equivalent to bypassing the back defense directly!


    Under such circumstances, Cristiano Ronaldo did not intrude. He first pushed the offensive beyond the line of the restricted area and drove Arsenal''s overall defensive formation to retreat. Then he began to seek contact with his teammates or walk the inside line by himself.


    Van Bronckhorst broke the ball under Ronaldo''s feet before the bottom line and Millwall scored a touchline.


    Highbury shouted loudly, and the support of Millwall fans was not weaker than Arsenal fans because of the disadvantage of the number.


    Wenger only sat on the coach seat for 5 minutes and then frowned and stood on the sidelines, his face dignified.


    What the **** is Millwall fucking?


    What about Henry?


    What about Nedved?


    What about Ronaldinho?


    Attacking the four in the frontcourt, within 5 minutes after the opening, the number of touches and the time of holding the ball are added. The three superstars are not as good as a 19-year-old Ronaldo!


    Who the **** allowed the kid to kick like this?


    To be in the limelight, it depends on whether your teammates will give you a chance!


    By the way, Millwall played in the midfield and backcourt. In the choice of forward attack direction, he will pass the ball to Ronaldo''s side, as if he is the first superstar on the field!


    Wenger watched it for another 2 minutes and gradually understood.


    Millwall used C Ronaldo to suppress the entire left counterattack line!


    Van Bronckhorst was suppressed at the back line, Pire went back to assist defense, even if there was a chance to counterattack, the starting position was too late, and then rushed forward, he may not even reach the opponent''s front waistline, and there must have been Van Bronckhorst, who sprints for physical fitness, is too afraid to step forward to assist because of the pressure.


    Arsenal''s left attack, paralyzed!


    That was their golden attack line in the counterattack of the storm!


    At the same time, Millwall successfully defeated part of Arsenal''s home advantage at the opening!


    They should have entered the game faster, they should have started to intimidate Millwall and take advantage.


    However, as Cristiano Ronaldo unreasonably raged on the right, pushing the depth of attack steadily to force Arsenal''s overall formation to retreat, once, twice, three times, less than 10 minutes, both teams entered After the game state, neither team played a threatening attack.


    But where did Arsenal''s home advantage go?


    Wenger is undergoing a fierce brainstorm.


    In the first half of the league, visiting Argentine Lions Stadium, Arsenal¡¯s counterattack was very effective, but also because they played a magical effect, gave up the wing, the wing player admits, the focus is on Milvorna¡¯s slightly immature midfielder system. It also benefited from Millwall''s lifeless side attack.


    In the last three months, Millwall¡¯s wing offense seems to have converged a lot more than the first half of the league. Among many fans or ball critics, Aldridge has self-corrected and designed an arrogant and arrogant ideal. To veto.


    In fact, that is the wrong view.


    Because Millwall has improved on the basis of the past!


    Schneider, Ashley Cole, in the past, they could see that they were going up and down frantically, and they were extremely crazy.


    But of those running, many run ineffectively, and their physical fitness is inefficient.


    Now, when they are needed, they will still appear on the offensive end, which is more reasonable than in the past. This means maturity, not what Adrich is correcting.


    Because there is no good tactical conscious guard, you let him crazily press 100 times, maybe 100 times are in vain, you let him observe honestly, wait for the opportunity to go up again, he may not go up once, because of his consciousness Unable to capture the best time, unable to weigh the pros and cons of offense and defense.


    Wanting to use the full-backs as a change forward is not simply a concept of overwhelming.


    From the beginning of the game, Wenger''s expectations were exceeded. Millwall''s offensive focus shifted to Ronaldo, not Ronaldinho, Henry, and Nedved. This itself, I am afraid that no one in the world has expected .


    Wenger began to examine the offensive efficiency and threat assessment.


    Arsenal did not have a good chance to fight back, nor did Millwall play a particularly threatening attack.


    Even if Ronaldo took the ball to the bottom line on the right, then?


    There is no threat in the cross, the ground cannot pass, the air ball?


    Henry''s scoring machine, the only shortcoming that has been criticized is the header.


    Ronaldinho did not enter the restricted area early, and the threat points in the restricted area are not obvious.


    Cristiano Ronaldo is also immature. After he was forced into a desperate situation by Van Bronckhorst and Pire, he became a dribble. Either Millwall won a set ball or the ball was handed over to Arsenal.


    At least on the scene, Wenger should not worry, but he has a hunch that this will not be Millwall''s killer.


    Absolutely not!


    The madman will bet on C Ronaldo.


    Only a fool will make the desperate killer experience known to everyone.


    Aldridge is sometimes a lunatic, but he is by no means a fool.


    So this cannot be Millwall''s main method.


    But this method achieved a certain purpose, eliminated Arsenal''s home advantage at the beginning of the opening, and suppressed their left counterattack. In addition, or the creation of a fatal blow, how to see, C Ronaldo will not be key point.


    Ten minutes passed.


    Aldrich gestured to Ronaldo on the sidelines to remind him to change his mind.


    Cristiano Ronaldo''s jersey has been dirty, because he was knocked down on the side, and he came back to fight against people while defending.


    He nodded immediately after seeing Aldridge''s gesture, indicating that he understood.


    Arsenal tried to slow down the rhythm, through a delicate pass and cut to find Millwall in the backcourt.


    But Millwall''s crazy forcing from the front waistline made them unable to control the rhythm at all.


    In the 12th minute, Bergkamp retraced and played with Yongberg on the right, and eventually the attack evolved into Ashley Cole and Yongberg fighting for speed on the side, one attack, one defense, Yongbei Li was the first to get the ball, but it was outside the sideline. He didn''t have time to adjust it, and he directly crossed the ball to find Ibrahimovic who was out in the middle.


    The ball was rescued by Nesta''s header. De Rossi controlled the outer landing and took the ball from his back. Knowing that Bergkamp was trying to attack himself behind him, he didn''t turn to pass the ball to Schneider.


    Schneider passed the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo who was running forward before Piley had defended his own half.


    At this moment, Aldridge couldn''t help but mumble to himself: "Pass, pass, pass..."


    Of course he would worry about Ronaldo forgetting.


    However, when Ronaldo crossed the ball decisively, Aldridge''s face became firm.


    Wenger was shocked.


    I thought it was C Ronaldo''s "personal bad performance" again, but I didn''t expect Millwall''s offensive transfer to be so fast.


    Moreover, the ball passed Alonso''s rapid transition before the middle lap and came to Ronaldinho''s feet!


    Yong Berry is still in the frontcourt, although the Arsenal defender line is complete, but the protection of the joint defense will inevitably decline.


    Ronaldinho was on the wing and started cutting in before the dribble came to the front waistline.


    In the face of the two iron waists of Vieira and Silva, Ronaldinho and Nedved exchanged each other. At the same time, the two exchanged positions. Ronaldinho came to the middle and followed the other side with the running. The defensive position moves, and the pass appears empty!


    Ronaldinho made a direct pass to Henry on the forward. The latter turned away from Arsenal''s penalty area and stepped on the big penalty area line. Henry didn''t stop the ball. He knocked the ball with his bow. The ball''s rolling direction was refracted, just from Campbell and Van Bronckhos. The middle rolled to the rib of the restricted area.


    There, Cristiano Ronaldo killed him and pushed the ball without stopping!


    call!


    The audience exclaimed.


    Arsenal fans were shocked in cold sweat, Millwall fans were shocked, but quickly cheered up and applauded Ronaldo.


    "C Ronaldo''s thrust angle is too positive, and his great opportunity is wasted by him! Lyman put the ball in his arms, Arsenal escaped!"


    Cristiano Ronaldo was a bit nervous. He couldn''t let his mind go when shooting. He was afraid of kicking and tried to get a stable angle. The result was too positive. He gritted his teeth and looked very annoyed. Stabilized emotions.


    Aldridge is very satisfied with his performance so far.


    At least, he is well implementing the team''s combat policy today.


    I just don''t know if Wenger saw it.

 Chapter 976： Like a flame burning!

    Highbury was filled with smoke, and the military song was loud in the stands.


    Over time, Wenger''s brows grew deeper.


    Millwall''s offensive restrictions on Arsenal were very successful!


    What is the main task of researching opponents?


    Formation? Player?


    How does a technical and tactical system work?


    One thing is the most critical.


    That is the player''s running without the ball, not where the player is playing.


    Just like the outside world can only say that Henry is a forward, but he cannot clearly define what type of forward Henry is. His range of activities is too large. His trajectory seems to be irregular, and he has scored goals and assists in each past season. Both are in double figures. The average number of goals is 20+, and the number of assists is only one season without breaking through 20. That is last season.


    Although Nedved did not perform as well as Henry in the statistics, Nedved was still indispensable and irreplaceable in the tactical role, because Nedved''s "indirect assists" were second only to Ronaldinho in the team.


    In Arsenal, such a person is Bergkamp.


    What is the biggest difference between today and half a season ago?


    In the targeted marking against Bergkamp, ??Millwall made breakthrough progress.


    From the maturity of Alonso.


    No matter how Arsenal plays the offense, Alonso¡¯s main task is to read the opponent¡¯s offensive development trajectory, and then cut off the connection between Arsenal players and Bergkamp. Bergkamp mobilized the offensive to make the frontcourt offensive clear. This is His biggest threat.


    Whether Yongberg is on the right, Vieira comes up from behind, or Pires is on the left, and even Van Bronckhorst assists, Alonso has to block Arsenal''s team members and Bergkamp The straight line passes between the cutting lines.


    Assisted by Vieira in the middle, Nedved confronted the snatch.


    On the wing, a full-back is followed.


    If Ibrahimovic retreated, De Rossi would follow suit.


    The first half of the season allowed the opponent to break the backline, in fact, Alonso could not limit the role of Bergkamp.


    What happened in more than four months?


    What specific changes have taken place between Alonso and Bergkamp?


    Alonso''s growth, body, experience, technology, consciousness, and other aspects are growing rapidly. Among them, the body may be the slowest, but it is also an ascending period.


    In the same period, Bergkamp, ??even if there was no progress or regression, also made the gap between the two in one-on-one, or cat-and-mouse games, shortened.


    In particular, this is the final battle, this is a fierce battle for a season, a player''s physical fitness through the pre-season reserve, the mid-season continuous battle, to the end of the season is about to run out of light, the critical point of the end of the crossbow.


    In this respect, Alonso''s advantages are obvious, and it is by no means comparable to the 35-year-old Bogkamp.


    The stadium is large, Millwall takes the initiative to attack, and gives the opponent a lot of space.


    Bogkamp does not retreat very deeply like Zidane, as if he has the control of football from the midfield and backcourt organization and then plugs himself in for further organizational measures.


    Bergkamp will find a free time in the frontcourt, then appear in the free position, waiting for his teammate''s pass to arrive as scheduled, and then he will take the next offensive move.


    Of course Alonso¡¯s task cannot be to chase after Bergkamp. That is the stupidest way to defend. Is the defensive player chasing the offensive player?


    Just one or two emergency stops and turn around, the poor rhythm will lose the pursuit of the target.


    What Alonso did was to examine the direction of Arsenal¡¯s attack and pay attention to Bogkamp¡¯s position, even if Bogkamp appeared in the air, it didn¡¯t matter, Alonso only had to be on the straight line passed by the ball and Bogkamp Just form the block.


    With his defensive position blocking Bogkamp to take the ball, which led to Bogkamp''s lack of a deep defensive position after the start of the game, but Bogkamp still needs a lot of excess ball-free running to get rid of the blockade line!


    This is a kind of defense, but also a kind of consumption.


    Millwall''s offensive strategy after 10 minutes has also changed.


    Now that the opponent''s home advantage has been eliminated after the opening of the game, and the whole team has entered the game, Millwall has to control the pace of the game.


    When Millwall attacked, they formed a huge ball control advantage in the midfield.


    Ronaldinho never stayed on the front line, he was shocked from the back.


    Therefore, Ronaldinho''s offensive starting position is often the left zone just after midfield.


    Ronaldinho, Nedved, plus Alonso, and two full-backs, their transfer in the midfield will initially tear Arsenal''s formation!


    Forced Yong Berry, Pire, had to participate in the defense of the backcourt, and can not chase the ball in the midfield disorderly running back and forth, that is just being played as a monkey.


    Immediately afterwards, Arsenal needed someone to withdraw from the frontcourt in the middle, but neither forward could come back to defend. Why?


    If all are withdrawn, what if the ball is snatched?


    Immediately unable to hit depth, it turned into layers of advancement, Millwall''s huge midfielder advantage, making Millwall definitely faster than them when retreating, they will not be threatened, after all, Ibrahimovic and Borg Camp doesn''t have the ability of a single player to directly break through Millwall''s waistline and back line defense.


    In such oppression, Bergkamp must retreat to participate in the defense, which will further consume his physical energy!


    In the 19th minute, after Millwall''s midfield pass and cooperation, he suddenly launched a threatening attack. After pretending to attack the left, he quickly shifted the attack to the right. Cristiano Ronaldo took the ball and completed a high-quality long shot at the edge of the penalty area. Unfortunately, Was saved by Lehman.


    In the 21st minute, Arsenal counterattacked. Bogkamp didn''t step forward in the midfield and directly spurred Piret''s counterattack on the left. Unfortunately, after the center pivot Ibrahimovic passed the ball back to Piret, they were too In pursuit of speed, when Piret rushed to the front line, the player who inserted the back did not follow up. He was cut off by Schneider and Nesta and defended successfully.


    Millwall, who was transferred from the defense, immediately initiated the offensive. They quickly passed the midfield. Ronaldinho played with Nedved on the left and then went straight to Henry on the front line. Henry carried Campbell in the penalty area and forced it. A kick shot deviated from the goal.


    After 30 minutes, Millwall had a clear advantage, but could not create an excellent goal-scoring opportunity.


    Arsenal¡¯s three military lives in this game, coupled with the study of Millwall is not one or two days, the targeted restrictions are extremely in place, there is one point is Cristiano Ronaldo¡¯s immaturity, his play can not achieve intuitive effects, he has Four shots, two of which may be broken if handed to Henry or Larson.


    Wenger looked sad on the sidelines.


    He already saw Millwall''s routine.


    In the positional battle, using Ronaldo''s speed to play depth, the Arsenal''s overall formation was extremely compressed in the second half, so that the threat of Arsenal''s counterattack has been reduced a lot!


    And Arsenal finally played an attack that advanced into Millwall''s restricted area. If the attack was ended and Millwall launched a counterattack, Millwall would shift the center of attack to Ronaldinho''s side.


    Obviously, when counterattacking, there is more space and more choices. When creativity requires a stronger offensive threat, Millwall will play Ronaldinho¡¯s advantage, and when there is no space, a strong attack will be handed over to C. Ronaldo is using Ronaldo to consume Arsenal, and Ronaldinho uses every physical strength in the most threatening environment.


    But like Millwall''s targeted restrictions on Bergkamp, ??Arsenal''s trajectory of Millwall''s players'' activities and offensive routines are also well prepared.


    Wenger believes that as long as they do not make mistakes themselves, such as personal stopping errors, passing errors, or slipping, suddenly the brain moves to the opponent to give the opponent a dangerous positioning ball, Arsenal''s defense will not be a problem.


    The overall defense, four backs and double backs have also been playing together for at least two years.


    Like Henry Labian, Ronaldinho Jr., Nedved forward, they were beaten with fear and fearlessness before, but today they are fully absorbed. If there is a little wind and grass, they will sound the alarm. Can play better!


    However, Wenger still underestimated Millwall.


    Aldridge''s Millwall, the third-generation mad lion, will play a more magical offensive effect on the offensive end than the second-generation mad lion.


    In the 36th minute, Yongberg tried to get in touch with Ibrahimovic on the right, but was boldly blocked by Southgate beforehand. Southgate passed the ball to De Rossi, who calmly Observing the movement of Bogkamp, ??Alonso''s position is obviously easier to pull out the empty when receiving the ball, and Bogkamp is now not far from Alonso.


    When the ball reached Alonso''s feet, he looked in front of him and gave it to Nedved.


    Nedv¨§d dribble the ball to the left, trying to tear the defensive gap between Vieira and Silva, paving the way for Ronaldinho to attack.


    Because Ronaldinho runs from the left to the middle at this time, the two do not need to make eye contact, and know how to form the next step through the direction of the other party''s leg.


    Ronaldinho, Nedved, transposition!


    Nedved took two steps and suddenly stopped the ball in place, then he ran forward in the direction of the left rib of the penalty area!


    His running position attracted the attention of Vieira and Campbell. Vieira was in the middle right of the lower back, and the focus was also to limit the habitual impact of Ronaldinho and Nedved on this side.


    And this time, Ronaldinho took the ball to the middle, there was no straight pass to find Henry, or a reverse pass to directly pass Nedved.


    He divided the ball to the right.


    It looks like a formula pass, not surprising.


    However, Ronaldinho''s next move after passing the ball made all Arsenal''s defensive players and Wenger on the sidelines numb!


    Under Wenger''s dumbfounded gaze, Ronaldinho rushed from the left side of Silva to the ribs of the Arsenal defense line, that is, Millwall''s attack should have been the end of C Ronaldo''s route!


    After Ronaldinho passed the ball, he pointed to the front of his running position, and his face coldly ordered Ronaldo to pass the ball there immediately.


    Ronaldo stopped the ball, passed the ball, and did not drag the mud.


    Ronaldinho left Silva on the impact of running position, because Silva did not expect Ronaldinho to run like this!


    At the same time, Nedved attracted Vieira and Campbell on the other side. Henry also started at the same time. He knew what he should do. He also approached Nedved. Toure subconsciously followed Henry. Unconsciously exposed the rib empty!


    Ronaldinho arrived!


    Receiving C Ronaldo''s pass, took a step forward, diagonally to the goal, burst out without any interference!


    The ball, rubbing the inside of the near post, blasted into the top corner of the goal.


    Lyman, dumbfounded.


    Highbury.


    The enthusiasm of Arsenal fans is extinguished by the cold water!


    Lion fans are burning like flames!

 Chapter 977： Come forward

    Arsenal players'' expressions stayed where they were.


    Ronaldinho steadily and ruthlessly ran to the visiting team fans to kiss the team logo in the stands.


    C Ronaldo''s expression could not tell whether it was pain or joy, and ran to Ronaldinho.


    Nedved and Henry rushed to Ronaldinho''s back for the first time, and they were cheering and roaring.


    Nesta clenched his fists clenchingly, and he embraced Southwest Gate, who was equally invigorated.


    Wenger wiped his face as if his face was covered with water droplets.


    Aldridge''s expression was slightly grim, and he closed his eyes and flicked his right fist up and down, with a click, as if striking Arsenal''s heart.


    Highbury.


    Millwall''s fans are mad!


    They are ahead!


    On the real-time points list, Millwall topped the list!


    This season, for the first time, topped the list for the first time!


    From the end of the Premier League this season, there are only 53 minutes of game time left, and the time is also reduced by one second...


    "Goal! Goal! Millwall¡¯s two Ronaldo perform together, Ronaldo assists Ronaldinho to break the deadlock! Millwall leads 1-0 away! If the game is now over, Millwall will achieve The finale at the end of the season reverses the miracle of topping the top of the list! Before the 37 rounds of the league, they did not stay at the top of the list for a minute, but as long as the current victory is maintained until the end, they will win the sixth Premier League trophy!"


    "Arsenal did not anticipate, not at all! No one in the world can anticipate! At that position, if Henry broke the door, everyone would not be surprised, if it was C Ronaldo, it is normal, even if it is Nedved , Schneider, even if Alonso rushed up, we wouldn¡¯t be surprised. It¡¯s Ronaldinho, it¡¯s him! We have a blank mind for a moment, that¡¯s too strange, too strange! Because that It is not the area where Ronaldinho is habitually active. He has many goals and many assists, but the starting point and ending point are not there. Why is he there? Why? This must be Sir Hall¡¯s Magic! It''s the closing gift he gave Arsenal!"


    Arsenal''s previous defenses were watertight, at least the stifling of the danger zone was very effective.


    Suddenly, the defense showed a huge loophole. Ronaldinho cut in from the left and received Nedved''s pass midway. He appeared in the front waist position, then shifted the attack to the right, and then continued to the right. The running position appeared in the position where the right-winger cut the opponent''s ribs freely. Nedved, Henry, and at the same time made a cover for him, Silva did not keep up with him, because at that moment, Silva predicted There was a huge mistake!


    Analyze Ronaldinho''s past goals and assists at Millwall. 99% of his threats were completed on the left side of the frontcourt and the middle road area. The right side of the penalty area is almost blank!


    But this time, he was there!


    Millwall wanted to make the offensive game more exciting, it must be achieved by the players.


    For example, everyone used to think that Ronaldinho was a wing player, but he was able to finish inside.


    I also saw Ronaldinho and Nedved''s transposition, and saw Ronaldinho''s shine in the front waist position.


    That''s how it is. Ronaldinho''s running position and his choice after touching the ball are hard to mark.


    Now, he suddenly inserted the right side of the penalty area obliquely again, as if completely transformed into a front waist with a full frontal assault, which made him even more unpredictable.


    If Nedved is in this position, Silva will not make a pre-judgment error, but Ronaldinho is replaced. Silva subconsciously thinks that Ronaldinho will either go forward from the middle road or go to the left. Vader formed a strong pressure within a small range!


    Forward, there is Henry, to the left, there is Nedved.


    Only to the right, Ronaldinho chose to come by himself!


    Aldridge smiled a little after the celebration.


    Alsena, you should now understand what Millwall is doing.


    Unfortunately, it is late!


    Wenger did have a moment of clenching his teeth when he wiped his face.


    Thousands of thoughts came to mind.


    For more than thirty minutes of competition, scenes flashed through the mind like a film acceleration, twice, three times, and countless times. Those seemingly irrelevant details are connected in a string, producing a chemical reaction that is invisible to the naked eye!


    Like poison, eroding Arsenal, in the end, in the 37th minute for the 37 rounds of the undefeated Arsenal sounded the death knell!


    Cristiano Ronaldo''s pull down, just consume Arsenal?


    Is it just to fight back and suppress the counterattack by pressing the formation that deeply presses them?


    Paying too much attention to the overall situation, Wenger ignored the most critical first point.


    That''s the point-to-point confrontation between the full-back and Ronaldo.


    That''s right, Van Bronckhorst succeeded in defending Ronaldo on his own. He didn''t let Ronaldo pass a threatening ball. He didn''t let Ronaldo cross the ball directly to his defense line. As for Ronaldo, he ran inside. To form a shot, it also needs the help of his teammates. He can''t help it by himself.


    However, for most of the time, especially in the positional battle, Ronaldo''s winger controlled the ball at the sideline. Of course, Van Bronckhorst can''t be indifferent. He needs to pull him out to ensure that Ronaldo has no diagonal inward space. Pressing, pushing Ronaldo to the sideline or bottom line, forcing Ronaldo into a state of isolation and helplessness.


    Once, twice, three times, after many times, Van Bronckhorst''s defensive awareness will regard Ronaldo as the first defensive point.


    When Ronaldinho passed the ball to Ronaldo, was Silva wrong?


    Is only Silva predicting a mistake?


    Do not!


    And Van Bronckhorst!


    He subconsciously focused his attention on Ronaldo, and ignored Ronaldinho''s running direction after the pass. When he took a step and quickly recovered, the ribs could not be closed!


    Ronaldinho strikes straight from the left or the middle to the restricted area, and the world is no stranger!


    Ronaldinho can play bolder and more freely in the frontcourt with the strong field control ability in the midfield and backcourt this season.


    His impact to the right made Arsenal unexpected, and at the same time, it can be foreseen that this is one of Millwall''s more threatening offensive routine changes, which will be fixed in the future, and against Arsenal, Millwall dares to let a left side The player rushed to the offensive position of the right-wing regardless of the defense. It is also because Arsenal''s right-side attack is weaker than the left-side, Millwall risked it!


    Even if Ronaldinho really failed to attack, how about Arsenal fighting back from the right?


    Lauren is not Van Bronckhorst, his assist ability is limited to an ordinary full-back, they most need to mark, just Yong Berry!


    Wenger looked rare and violently yelled at the players on the court, seeming to want to wake up dumb players and cheer them up.


    He knew that Millwall¡¯s killer had finally appeared.


    It''s really not C Ronaldo.


    It is indeed one of the most talked about names in the outside world.


    Ronaldinho.


    It¡¯s him, why not him?


    He really has the ability to kill the game, and indeed has the ability to decide the game!


    However, Wenger didn''t think it would be this way.


    Even if this Brazilian staged a miracle of turning over Arsenal''s defensive player, Wenger would not feel too uncomfortable. In that case, it was absolutely out of the control of the coach.


    But the current situation undoubtedly made him very unwilling.


    Because it was not just Arsenal who lost to Millwall.


    And he lost to Aldridge in an absolute sense, again!


    Arsenal need heroes!


    Before the kick-off, Highbury''s home atmosphere fell into a trough, and it became a place where the mad lion fans raged like crazy.


    Arsenal''s 11 players on the field are like a devil crawling from **** back to earth.


    Most of them didn''t say a word, but their expressions were full of unwillingness, anger, and anger that wanted to vent!


    After working hard for a season, they can be proud of a perfect season, how can they surrender kneeling before the finish line?


    If he is a man, he will never give up!


    If he is a man, he will not choose to admit his fate!


    Two people came forward.


    The 35-year-old Bergkamp is still too early to know his destiny, but in terms of life expectancy on the professional arena, his age can indeed be interpreted as having reached the "destiny of destiny".


    He knew his physical condition. The more time he passed, the less he could help Arsenal. Even under the strong firepower of Millwall, he could not provide more defensive assistance for the midfield.


    You can''t delay, you can''t look forward to the second half, no, you must fight back the first time, the sooner you gamble, the higher the success rate!


    The calm ice prince and Ibrahimovic, Pires, and Yongberg explained the situation on the court in a simple way, not to replace Wenger to make any tactical changes, but to deal with details, he needs everyone to work together to bring him In the previous game, read the details of the game, and use the opponent''s flaws to inform the teammates and let everyone gamble together.


    There is another person, Tihan Vieira.


    After the shooter legend Tony Adams retired, Vieira became the team''s spiritual leader.


    Like Keene of Manchester United.


    The role of spiritual leaders will be remarkable.


    Even in the future, when the Gunners began to abandon the core counterattack idea and build an offensive football team in an active posture, their offense is actually much more admirable and stronger than this season. In addition to counterattacks, the positional battle is not outstanding. painting.


    However, after Vieira left, Arsenal had no successors of spiritual leaders.


    Neither the midfield commander Fabregas, the striker general Van Persie, the later British media advocated Mertesacker, Vermalen, or the prince Wilshere ordered by Wenger Chin, no one really carried it. Passed the Gunners banner and truly become the spiritual leader of this team.


    The lack of leaders and this lack of intangible energy have caused the gunmen to repeatedly lose the good situation, repeatedly crash, and repeatedly collapse.


    If there were no Vieira today, it would not be a decisive battle today!


    Aldrich doesn¡¯t have to spend more than two months playing a psychological battle with Arsenal. He believes Millwall will win very easily and logically, because Arsenal¡¯s resistance will not exceed 20 minutes, and they will be under great pressure. Self collapse!


    Now, Vieira stood up and agreed with Bergkamp, ??he was more radical than Bergkamp!


    He pointed his finger at his teammates on the defensive line and gave orders clearly and unequivocally.


    The meaning is simple: Lao Tzu is going to kill! You guys hold up!


    How to withstand it, of course, is not to let teammates make up their own brains.


    Abandoning the outside defense of the wing, the full-backs closed the penalty area, and Van Bronckhorst naturally had to assist the side.


    Lauren was able to get back the first time even if she was hit back.


    Therefore, a dense three-back defense was formed in the penalty area. In front of Silva, the interception area was extended to protect or delay the other party''s attack. Anyway, the score was behind. Vieira could not care so much.


    After some arrangements, restart the kick, Vieira''s position is to the premise, but Bergkamp retreated, the two adjusted one after the other, and suddenly made Arsenal''s midfield tough, like Victoria. Ella escorted Bergkamp in the frontcourt.


    Arsenal''s change made Aldridge stunned.

 Chapter 978： Surrender

    For a 38-round league in a season, 53 minutes may not be a big deal.


    But for a 90-minute decisive battle.


    In 53 minutes, the battle did not even finish half.


    Millwall took the lead, but Aldridge did not let the team back to fight back.


    Because there is more time.


    Moreover, although Millwall will be anti-reverse, they are better at oppressing the offense, giving up their best style of play in such a tense and fierce game, and retreating second. But football is not a science or an arithmetic problem. Even with a 1% probability, it will always appear on the court.


    Aldridge did not dare to let the team back, and now the team is running perfectly, freely, the further back, the two young stars in the midfield, the greater the pressure on Alonso and De Rossi, because The closer you are to the penalty area, even if the opponent is on their defensive line, you don''t need to break through. As long as you have time, you can create a threatening long shot.


    So Aldridge didn''t let the team play defense.


    Another consideration is that in this 90-minute game, Millwall¡¯s combat plan is divided into several stages. It is not yet time to play all the cards. The score is temporarily an advantage, the situation is very good, but the future , Aldridge believes that Millwall¡¯s situation will be better!


    Fighting against Arsenal''s position or counterattack was very successful before Bergkamp''s marking.


    But when Bergkamp took the initiative to retreat, Vieira''s position premise was, in part, indeed beyond Audridge''s expectations.


    According to the inertia of the 99% forward, when the score is behind and needs a counterattack, basically the forward will choose to move forward!


    Instead of retreating!


    Therefore, if Bergkamp''s top line is parallel to Ibrahimovic''s position, Aldridge is not surprised.


    Even the premise of Vieira''s position is predictable.


    But Bogkamp''s retracement was not expected by Audridge.


    It¡¯s not uncommon for football to be a demon.


    Although Bergkamp is a fake number 10 in the eyes of Aldridge, his range of activities, the main area of ??action for the offensive, is in the interception circle of Alonso and De Rossi, and the back of the double back midfielder Plugged in, and Nedved followed the harassment interception, Millwall successfully cut off the connection between Vieira and Bergkamp, ??which is the back and forth of the Arsenal attack.


    At the same time also cut off Bergkamp''s contact with the wing, unless he runs to pull the edge.


    Vieira can only play the ball to the side, then most of the players on the side will be forced into a state of isolation, whether Arsenal counterattacks or positional battles. Even with high-quality crosses, Nesta and Southgate I can freeze Ibrahimovic well.


    Now that Bergkamp retraces on a large scale, Millwall''s midfielder faces a dilemma that they used to plague opponents in the past.


    That is, the core of the organization is far away from the defensive zone of the lower back. If the lower back is boldly pushed forward, it will expose the empty space behind it, but if it does not go forward, it will allow the opponent to successfully gain a foothold in the midfield.


    When Pirlo first organized after the delay, I don''t know how many opponents were unscrupulously overwhelmed, and then Pirlo easily passed the ball and hit behind the back, instigating a threat of attack.


    De Rossi will certainly not take the initiative, Alonso will keep a certain distance from De Rossi, Nedved distracted Vieira, plus Van Bronckhorst and Pires on the left side of Arsenal. Crossing the pressure, Pires'' inward turn turned to the forward waist, allowing Arsenal midfielder to compete with Millwall.


    In an offensive in the 41st minute, Bergkamp, ??Vieira, Van Bronckhorst made a triangle pass, and then Bergkamp suddenly passed the ball wide to the foot of Yongberg on the other side.


    Ibrahimovic withdrew and responded, after hitting the depth, suddenly passed the ball back to the post-plugged Bergkamp. When Alonso and De Rossi caught the eye and saw the success of the siege, Bergkamp suddenly felt like a scalpel. ''S straight plug passed the ball to the left wing again.


    Schneider originally received inside defense Pires, at this time Pires suddenly pulled forward, Schneider chased back so that Pires had room to catch the ball.


    Pires took control of the ball, changed his direction and walked inside. He did not go to Ibrahimovic, Bergkamp. He saw Vieira plugged in later. This pass line was sharply caught by Schneider. When Piret At the moment of passing the ball, Schneider''s foot was destroyed. The ball just left Pire''s foot and was blocked by Schneider''s foot less than half a meter away. The ball refracted and did not roll towards Vieira.


    In the fight between Van Bronckhorst and De Rossi, De Rossi took the first step to poke the ball to the right!


    Cristiano Ronaldo led the ball in the backcourt on the right, turned around, started to accelerate, and the speed of the front suddenly burst into the table!


    The fast-moving Portuguese kid seems to be driving the entire Highbury forward, striding the ball with a large stride, while calmly observing the situation ahead.


    The speed is very fast, Millwall is 3 to 4 this time!


    Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Henry.


    Arsenal''s defense is left with a single midfielder and a three-back.


    Silva closely followed Ronaldinho and had to prevent Ronaldinho from plugging in.


    Ronaldo brought the ball to the front of the penalty area and turned inward.


    The fans of the crazy lions in the Highbury stand cried passionately and watched Ronaldo passionately, hoping that this kid could help the team enter another one!


    Enter another one!


    Arsenal is done!


    Cristiano Ronaldo took the ball inside and Silva still dared not come to block him. Fearing that he would move, Ronaldinho was completely unmarked. If Ronaldinho directly charged, Silva would have no worries, but Ronaldinho Ambush-like oppression was formed on the periphery, directly holding Silva down.


    Although Arsenal have three defenders, they have a very delicate composition.


    Two central defenders plus one full back.


    When Cristiano Ronaldo cuts, Tour¨¦ moves over to defend Cristiano Ronaldo''s direction towards the goal. His move will inevitably open the defense of the defender.


    Henry''s position is very flexible and confusing. First, as Toure approached Ronaldo, when Campbell moved with him to this side, Henry suddenly stopped and changed to run the empty space between Campbell and Lauren. , Move forward!


    Cristiano Ronaldo saw this opportunity, he passed the ball diagonally to the Arsenal penalty area.


    The ball rolled past Toure and over Campbell''s back, making Campbell unable to form an interception. At the same time, Lehman did not abandon the goal and the ball rolled smoothly to the back point!


    Trying to keep calm, Lehman moved quickly to the point behind the goal. Cristiano Ronaldo tried to ensure that Campbell could not intercept it, and then passed a little deep. Henry, who was like a rabbit, did not let the ball roll past him, but he could only barely finish Shooting, the whole person strides forward, shoveling!


    The toes barely kicked the ball towards the goal, but could not perfectly control the strength and angle.


    boom!


    The ball hit the outside of the goal post and the bottom line popped up!


    Highbury¡¯s Arsenal fans were shocked, their hearts beating like thunder, and Yu Pai was not gone!


    Cristiano Ronaldo felt a pity while holding his head in wide eyes, but also felt incredible.


    Perhaps in his mind, Henry should be faster and never miss this opportunity.


    "Arsenal escaped! In order to equalize the score, they risked their offensive force, resulting in a flaw on the defensive end, C Ronaldo sent a good pass, but Henry missed this opportunity, only a little, only a bad One thing, he can¡¯t blame Henry. He tried his best to make the ball. If the ball is slower or closer, he will definitely be able to put it into Arsenal¡¯s goal!"


    While all the spectators were still immersed in Millwall and missed another attack on Arsenal, Lehman received the ball thrown by the caddie immediately after the ball came out of the bottom line, and then he dropped the ball in the penalty area. The pass passed the ball to Van Bronckhorst who failed to defend.


    Aldridge called Ronaldo''s name aloud on the sidelines, pointing at Van Bronckhorst and asking him to force him.


    Just now Van Bronckhorst had no effect in catching Ronaldo. Now, it is replaced by Ronaldo to chase him. Similarly, Van Bronckhorst can''t speed up. Just sprinting back and chasing exhausted the power of a sprint, Ronaldo It''s almost the same. He just drove the ball and dribble, and now he''s also a little breathless.


    He didn''t stick the ball too much, but just waited for his teammates to run while dribbling the ball forward, dodged Millwall''s encirclement, and when he had the available spot, he immediately ejected the ball.


    Bergkamp pulled quickly, and was close to the side of Pires. When Schneider followed Pires, Bergkamp could catch the ball without interference.


    After Bergkamp touched the ball, he walked inside and came to the defense of Alonso and De Rossi. He passed the ball to Vieira who rushed up.


    I thought Vieira could throw away Nedved during the forward rush, and it didn''t take long. Even if one or two seconds later, Bergkamp would run again and hit the offensive line.


    However, Vieira was destroyed by a diagonal tackle from Nedved, but as Vieira fell, the referee signaled Nedved foul and blew the whistle.


    Nedvide pointed at the ball and loudly told the referee that he touched the ball first, and there was absolutely no dangerous action.


    However, the referee kept shaking his head, Nedvide shoveled the ball with his right foot, and then tripped Vieira with his left foot. This is the reason for the referee''s penalty.


    In peacetime, Vieira must get up and follow Nedved''s theory, but at this moment, he quickly got up from the ground, and after Bogkamp kicked the ball to him, he quickly bent down and pressed the ball Set, and then return the ball to Bergkamp.


    Free kick!


    A poor rhythm, the Millwall defense was overwhelmed, and suddenly a little chaotic. After Bergkamp stopped the ball, a middle-distance oblique long pass kicked the ball to the right side of the road near the bottom line.


    Wingberg succeeded in counter-offside, throwing Ashley Cole behind him, dribbling to the inside after the bottom line was stopped, and Millwall''s back line quickly retreated.


    Pires moved into the penalty area at this time, causing Nesta and Schneider to wrap up. Bogkamp also made a strong charge. Southgate had to take care of and respond to Ibrahimovic on his front, De Rossi and Azerbaijan. Ronso immediately followed Bogkamp''s income into the penalty area, and Nedvide also blocked Vieira''s side, staring at each other incessantly.


    At the moment of great attention, there was a point on the Arsenal front that suddenly retreated!


    Ibrahimovic!


    Yong Berry knocked the ball back to the right of the top of the arc of the penalty area. Ibrahimovic suddenly left unmarked. When he touched the ball, Alonso ran to the other side to make a defensive posture, and Ibrahimovic pulled the ball to the right. In one step, the shooting angle flashed out, the long legs were raised, and a heavy artillery shot out!


    This ball, like a meteor, flew into the corner of Millwall''s goal in the blink of an eye!


    It was definitely a shot over 100 kilometers per hour!


    Butt was stunned, he had no chance to save!


    Highbury, Arsenal fans stood up and cheered, as if to regain the momentum of the home!


    Arsenal will run crazy to celebrate, and the party Ibrahimovic, standing on the spot and raising his arms to make a domineering expression of who he is, he looked around slowly, no one in sight, even if Yong Berry jumped He could not make him bend his head and bow his head when he was on his back!


    "Arsenal equalized the score! OMG! Ibrahimovi? made a terrifying shot! He shot at Millwall''s goal in the penalty area! The score became 1:1, 1:1, Millwall only stayed at the top of the standings for 5 minutes! 2 minutes before the end of the first half, it is likely that the final battle of this game will be in the second half! That will definitely be more intense!"


    Wenger waved his arms up and down, exhilarating his eyebrows, and his face was bright, as if returning to the image of a gentle professor in an instant.


    Aldridge¡¯s expression on the spot remained unchanged. He didn¡¯t even go to the fourth official to determine whether Nedvide¡¯s tackle should be fouled. He knew that if he argued, the team¡¯s attention would be distracted. .


    And this decisive battle is officially kicked off, and the time to really decide the outcome has not yet arrived.


    Aldridge is waiting, watching the time, paying close attention to the changes of Arsenal, the real wrestling, testing whether Arsenal can win the league championship this season, is counting down in his mind...

 Chapter 979： Killer!

    Arsenal equalized the score before the end of the first half and returned to the top position.


    At the end of the first half, they withdrew their defense and kept the draw until the end of the first half.


    Only 45 minutes left for Arsenal to win the Premier League with the undefeated record of the Premier League!


    When the players from both sides walked into the player channel, the live footage captured Arsenal''s player momentum, and Millwall''s team momentum was almost the same as the opening, no loss, no frustration, and they looked like they were not nervous.


    Because they are confident.


    Give them 5 minutes and they will give the world a miracle!


    Not to mention 45 minutes?


    Even if someone does have an unbalanced state of mind under pressure, seeing Aldridge, their leader, walking indifferently at the end of the team, any tension will vanish.


    Aldrich emphasized tactical discipline during the halftime break, and did not inspire much morale. On the contrary, in the second half, Millwall needed to deal with the game more calmly.


    After the halftime break, the two sides returned to the court and changed sides to fight again.


    After Millwall started from the second half, the team was not in a hurry to speed up. Instead, they formed the ultimate ball control advantage in the midfield!


    The Arsenal defender didn''t dare to rush up and grab the forward line. The striker retreated for a forced snatch. Whenever Ibrahimovic and Bergkamp participated in the midfield squad, Millwall would suddenly attack!


    From the 50th minute, the rhythm of the game can''t slow down!


    It became an offensive and defensive battle between the two parties.


    Because Millwall would still be harassed in the frontcourt after a strong attack. Among them, Ronaldo was the most desperate, and he did not hesitate to mess up the opponent back and forth. Arsenal did not dare to control the ball in the backcourt. Offensive efficiency, you must play fast, quickly through the midfield.


    In such a back-and-forth saw, Arsenal''s players will definitely consume more physical energy than Millwall!


    Millwall does not deliberately pursue a counterattack. Millwall will establish an advantage in ball control, compress the opponent¡¯s overall formation in the midfield, and then launch an offensive. In this way, the opponent¡¯s frontcourt players retreat deeper and wait for the opponent to fight back. In terms of physical fitness and speed, it is difficult to play an advantage, but the consumption is far beyond Millwall.


    In the 59th minute, Aldridge saw that Bergkamp could not keep up with the defensive rhythm, and Van Bronckhorst was obviously unable to improve his speed in a counterattack. He immediately transferred his troops and sent C Ronaldo. Substitution.


    To be honest, Cristiano Ronaldo can''t run anymore, the game is only 60 minutes, but on both ends of the offense and defense, Cristiano Ronaldo''s running is the most violent, and it is also the most expensive in the Millwall array.


    "In the 60th minute, Millwall took the lead in substitutions, C Ronaldo came off, and veteran Larson came out!"


    Cristiano Ronaldo hugged Larson when he was off the court, then Aldridge and Cristiano Ronald gave a high-five and said to him: "Good job today, you should be proud of it."


    Cristiano Ronaldo shook his head heavily. The team had not yet taken the lead. He also shot three times without putting the ball into the goal. Although he had an assist, he was not satisfied with his performance.


    Wenger frowned at the sidelines.


    Millwall replaced in 60 minutes?


    This¡­¡­


    Aldridge''s expression showed an intriguing glory.


    Alsena, dare to fight me?


    dare? dare?


    60 minutes, a time node that is not a regular substitution.


    At least, unless players have physical problems, it is generally not a regular time for changes to be made in terms of tactics.


    Because there are still half an hour in the game, there may be many things that will happen in half an hour. The more time, the greater the probability of accidents.


    Arsenal''s position on this side is also very clear: Either keep the tie, or continue to maintain the offensive point to increase the probability of scoring.


    However, half an hour before the game, Wenger did not dare to decide prematurely.


    In other words, if you decide to die now, what if you lose the ball after 15 minutes? Arsenal wanted to counterattack but no strength, the replacement card is to play one less.


    Wait again, look again.


    At least, in the past tug-of-war, it seems that Millwall and Arsenal are in a delicate balance.


    On-site command, Aldridge is best at pre-empting!


    Millwall has completed several phases of work in this decisive battle.


    No matter what the score is, now, from 60 minutes, Millwall''s real killer is coming!


    This killer skill is used as a bedding for the previous 60-minute game to create the most favorable environment for the last 30 minutes.


    Larson''s debut is a signal.


    Millwall, changed!


    In a tug of war in the early stage, Arsenal may think that Millwall has exploded the offensive.


    If they really think so, then they are very wrong.


    Aldridge today sacrificed a Ronaldo to consume the entire team of Arsenal!


    Whether C Ronaldo rushed deep into the bottom in the first half, intimidated Arsenal, and made his formation retreat deep enough, or the tug-of-war in the second half, he was trying to consume his opponent.


    The goal is also very obvious, Arsenal''s Pires, Yongberg, Bergkamp.


    They must go back to defense, and Millwall cannot be completely restricted without going back to defense.


    And when Larson came on the court, all Millwall players exploded completely, burning all the energy in the body!


    Ronaldinho swapped with Nedved, Ronaldinho came to the front waist position, making Vieira and Silva numb.


    The Brazilian''s goal in the first half prevented them from losing their defensive position easily.


    From left to right, in all three directions, Ronaldinho may have a huge threat!


    However, after Bogkamp couldn''t keep up with the defense, Ronaldinho didn''t have to care about opponents behind him to harass and concentrate on the frontal attack!


    When Wenger was entangled in whether he should make the final decision and firmly hold the tie, the situation on the field was abrupt!


    In the 64th minute, Arsenal''s counterattack speed decreased significantly. Yong Berry fell into a state of isolation and helplessness on the right side, then was intercepted by Ashley Cole, who quickly passed the ball to Ashley Cole Alonso running forward in the midfield, the latter kicked the ball without giving Bogkamp a chance to harass him.


    The ball came to Ronaldinho''s feet, and behind him, Bergkamp was still ten meters away from him. It seemed that he was unable to catch up with the defense anymore.


    Ronaldinho faced Silva and Vieira, Vieira was slightly behind, because Ashley Cole did not come up, Nedved could be blocked by Lauren and Campbell, and Vieira was in Silva provides another layer of protection in front of the penalty area behind him, and also conceals Henry with Toure.


    Ronaldinho took two steps to the left and did not break through to the depth, but attracted Silva. After Silva moved two steps, Ronaldinho pushed the ball to the right.


    Silva turned her head and saw Schneider strode up, striking the ribs of the penalty area after the ball.


    Ronaldinho deliberately walked past Silva and moved towards the middle. Silva was afraid that he would stop Schneider and he missed the forward Ronaldinho. He kept retreating and tried to compress the middle space.


    And Ronaldinho''s running position, with Silva, vaguely blocked the interception line of Vieira to Schneider!


    No one noticed that there was a faint snicker in Ronaldinho''s mouth at this moment.


    And Schneider continued to stop when he brought it to the big penalty line. He didn''t pass the ball and rushed forward.


    On his front, there is Larson, and beside him there is Van Bronckhorst and defender Toure.


    Arsenal''s back line is alerting Larsson''s anti-offside. Fearing that they will be free when they **** Schneider, then Schneider''s pass Larsson has a chance to shoot in the penalty area.


    However, Schneider almost slashed the ribs of the penalty area and the ball disappeared under his feet. After 1 second, he returned to his feet!


    From the stand far away, the fans couldn''t see exactly what happened!


    "Schneider rushed forward and passed by Larson. The ball was stopped by Larson, and Larson then knocked the ball into the penalty area with his heel. This match was seamless, and Arsenal''s defensive player was completely absent. Keep up, this rhythm change is so wonderful! Schneider, succeeding in counter-offside, single-handed! Shot!"


    This wave of offense was simple but dazzling. It seemed that Schneider was about to hit Larson, who was hard to stop the ball in front of Schneider.


    However, there was no conflict between the two, and Schneider passed by with Larson. In the past, the ball returned to him!


    At the position parallel to the right side of the penalty spot, Schneider volleyed with the outside of his foot, and the ball crossed an inner arc with an insignificant amplitude and flew towards the far side of the goal post!


    Lehman made a save and failed to touch the fast-paced ball with his palm. At the same time, he turned around and looked back in horror. The afterglow in the corner of his eyes could only see the goal post. However, without seeing the ball, he understood: , In the goal!


    Highbury, the mad lion fan became the protagonist again!


    They made overwhelming cheers and deafening shouts!


    "30-year-old Schneider! Hero! Hero Schneider! He helped Millwall to exceed the score! Millwall at this moment, in the 65th minute of the game and 25 minutes before the end of the game, boarded again The top of the Premier League standings!"


    "It''s wonderful. Millwall''s side attack is crazy and dazzling this season. Larsson just gave an assist shortly after playing! His season assists reached an appalling 30!"


    Wenger was struck by lightning, and at the moment he saw Schneider rushing forward, he thought of many details.


    In the first 60 minutes, Schneider has always been quite satisfactory. On the offensive end, on his side, the strongest presence in the offense is Ronaldo, and Schneider, he has not been as conspicuous as in the previous game, why?


    Waiting for the time?


    If he didn''t find a good chance in the 60-minute game, why did he kill him at this time?


    Of course, either waiting for the opportunity, or retaining physical fitness, broke out at this time!


    Arsenal''s backcourt defense has decreased in the frontcourt. Although it is not particularly obvious, but with the outbreak of Millwall, the gap between the two has suddenly been widened!


    Wenger was very annoyed. Aldridge''s strategic deployment of the overall situation of this game can be described as one link after another, and it has been carefully prepared for a long time!


    This made him panic. He wasn''t sure if his next sudden decision would also be expected by Aldridge and be used by Millwall!


    Schneider didn''t go rushing to celebrate, there was still time in the game, and he couldn''t waste any trace of physical energy to do things that didn''t help the team win.


    Celebration is very beautiful, but victory is the most tangible.


    Like the stars, the Schneider was surrounded by Millwall in Arsenal''s restricted area.


    But it''s just less than 3 seconds.


    Because Ronaldinho and Vieira had a verbal conflict outside the big penalty area.


    Vieira, who was blocked by Ronaldinho during that defense, overwhelmed Ronaldinho in anxiety. It happened that Ronaldinho reprimanded Vieira before Schneider scored a goal and saw the team lose the ball. Vieira''s temper didn''t hold back, and she choked with Ronaldinho''s words.


    Nedvide sent a gangster style to come and separate Ronaldinho, without a hug, Ronaldinho walked back, but before turning back, he turned to Vieira and made a squeeze gesture.


    I don¡¯t know whether to let Vieira calm down or tell him in a subtext: Don¡¯t mess with us!

 Chapter 980： Magic Attack Group

    Vieira is definitely not about picking things up when her head is hot.


    He was a "swimming wit". Seeing Schneider''s entry into the penalty area, he could not save the near fire from the water, so he simply overturned Ronaldinho, trying to influence the referee''s judgment, as long as the referee''s whistle sounded before Schneider''s feet started Even if Schneider kicked the ball in, it would be invalidated.


    This kind of thing is not impossible, but the probability is too low, close to zero.


    This season''s big battle, the head referee is naturally cautious.


    So even if you see Vieira¡¯s foul, you must first look at Schneider¡¯s shooting result. The goal is scored. As long as there is no conflict, the foul does not occur. Vieira¡¯s action is not too obvious, but If the ball is not scored, then Vieira fouls, giving Millwall a free kick.


    The goal was scored, and players from both sides were able to restrain their emotions.


    Vieira later had a spat with Ronaldinho, but it was considered an upgraded version of Roger Ronaldo. Maybe Ronaldinho could be irritated. Ronaldinho did irrational behavior. Then Ronaldinho might be sent off with a red card. , Arsenal played 10 10, followed by chasing after, hoping for greater.


    So, Ronaldinho did not explode, Nedved came up to separate the two, and Vieira naturally borrowed the donkey to stop.


    1:2!


    Arsenal fell behind again.


    Wenger''s original idea of ??whether to die or not could be thrown into the trash.


    At this point, he has to think about how to make the team complete the task of equalizing the score.


    On Millwall''s side, Aldridge came out with a vote, players, coaches, all cheered and celebrated, and he was more restrained, but his face showed an arrogant smile, quickly converged, and gave the players on the court Gesturing, especially referring to Henry.


    Henry can''t say how well he played in this game. He can only say that if he watched live TV, Henry''s number of touches was really pitiful.


    But in the eyes of Aldridge, Henry played a huge tactical role.


    The number one superpower in contemporary Europe.


    Henry''s threat value is the highest in the opposing team!


    Because he scored many goals, because he is the closest to his own goal!


    So, pushing the boat forward, Henry will be used as a frontline check in a draw. It is not that Arsenal defended Henry, but that Henry is holding the opponent''s defense line, attracting the opponent''s defensive players to surround him, and creating other players. Space, otherwise, if Henry has a large range of activities, Arsenal flexible division of defense to help, Ronaldo can not play the tactical role given by Aldridge in the first 60 minutes.


    However, when the score leads, Henry will be reactivated.


    There was a good chance in the first half, but unfortunately Henry''s shot hit the outside of the post.


    Now, Millwall leads the score again.


    It can be foreseen that Arsenal will invest more offensive force, Henry does not have to check the defense line, he can do more, and the effect is better.


    Before the kick-off, Arsenal''s original warm-up Palol sat back on the bench. It was also one of Arsenal''s midfielders. It can be said that Vieira, Silva, and Palol were random. The combination is the key to Arsenal''s "waist hard" this season!


    It seems that Wenger had thought about putting Parol on the court to strengthen the defense, but he still had enough playing time to prevent him from surrendering his cards prematurely.


    Because Palol played on the field to strengthen defense, it is necessary to remove an offensive player.


    If Millwall scored 80 minutes ago.


    Arsenal want to invest in the offensive again, in addition to putting Vieira on top, they need to add at least two more offensive players. In that case, the frontcourt offensive may be very disorderly, and Wenger does not have many offensive cards , Or not enough to give him high hopes.


    Palol sat back, replaced by young teenager Krishna and French striker Wiltord warming up.


    Van Bronckhorst''s decline in physical fitness is also particularly obvious, especially on this side, he played against the well-rounded and experienced Larson.


    After Arsenal restarted the kick, eager to make a wave of offense but died at the front waistline, Bogkamp passed the ball to Ibrahimovic.


    Ibrahimovic used his body to protect the ball and put De Rossi behind him, but he only protected one side. Southgate rushed up bravely to see that the ball was successfully intercepted. After the ball was broken, the ball was quickly passed to the center. field.


    Millwall''s frontcourt players weren''t overwhelmed, they were just past the middle circle.


    Ronaldinho, Nedved, Larson, Henry, the four narrowed the distance and passed back and forth, not anxious to attack forward.


    After Millwall''s backcourt formation came up, they continued to pass in the midfield.


    There is only one purpose, forcing Arsenal to return to defense all over, pushing their formation back!


    If it is an offensive attack, if the ball is intercepted midway, Arsenal''s backcourt can be counterattacked by a long legend.


    This was deliberately demanded by Aldrich, one was consumption, and the other was stability.


    They will not use extreme defense to pursue stability. Now, there is a strong pass control advantage in the midfield and backcourt.


    When Arsenal returned to defense, the front offensive team handed the ball to Alonso''s midfield and backcourt teammates, and then the offensive team slowly penetrated forward.


    Arsenal is crazy here, and he does not hesitate to grab, but it has no effect. When Alonso determines that Arsenal''s frontcourt players are exhausted and need to rest for a while, he suddenly passes the ball forward. This is the rhythm change. Alonso''s mature representative is also a symbol of his dominance as a midfield commander with his teammates.


    Henry did not directly press the opposing defender line, but retreated to cooperate with his teammates.


    Look at the teammates on the offensive line around you.


    Nedved, Larson, Ronaldinho.


    Henry''s heart ignited a blazing flame, extremely hot.


    Once upon a time, the four of them killed off in Europe!


    Once upon a time, they convinced all of Europe!


    Three Mr. Golden Ball, plus a Ronaldinho of Sanliana.


    The second generation of crazy lions opened up the magic attack group of the dynasty!


    Henry had naively thought that they might not be separated until the day of retirement.


    However, as Larson was frequently replaced this season and replaced by young C Ronaldo, Nedved also slightly reduced the number of appearances and saw the handsome Kaka.


    Henry began to realize that the magic attack group is about to close!


    After the Yangtze, the waves will push forward, and no one can avoid the replacement.


    Larson is about 33 years old, Nedved is about 32 years old.


    Henry, he is about 27 years old.


    Ronaldinho, enviably just turned 24 years old.


    Running together, sweating together, interpreting the fantasy classics of the stadium together, conquering the world with laughter together, the days of being together on the field will be less and less.


    We have created countless miracles together, and today, another great miracle!


    When Arsenal''s backcourt defense player couldn''t keep up with Millwall''s pass rate, Henry returned to the front waistline, he ran to the right, got Alonso''s pass, and then the familiar trip ball figure appeared.


    Henry, he did not directly rush to the penalty area. Instead, he rushed to the lower back area, looking for his own death, specifically to attack Arsenal''s toughest place!


    Are you stupid?


    of course not!


    Because of his teammates, Nedved and Ronaldinho, one in the middle and one on the left, while killing in the direction of the penalty area!


    Nedv¨§d was in the middle. After going forward, Vieira and Silva were apprehensive. Especially when Ronaldinho rushed from the other side to the area behind them, the two did not dare to rush into position, but only one step. Take a step back.


    Such pressure made them feel weird and nervous.


    Where is the weirdness?


    Correct!


    Why is Henry driving the ball?


    Henry should be right behind them!


    Arsenal''s double central defender, who had no defensive goals, was also nervous by the forward insertion of Nedved and Ronaldinho.


    When Vieira consciously rushed to Henry, Henry suddenly passed the ball directly to the right rib of the penalty area, where is Larson!


    Teammates are involved in attracting firepower, and the offensive points are hidden. The Millwall Magic Attack Group is very familiar with this set.


    With their eyes closed, they all knew where their teammates were, and where the tactical purpose of their teammates'' running was.


    Arsenal''s defense shifted along the ball and the defense leaned. Larsen touched the ball in the penalty area. Toure, Silva, and Van Bronckhorst behind him immediately rushed to him. Larsen directly returned the ball when he touched the ball. Knock the middle.


    Vieira went to find Henry, Silva was rushing towards Larson, Tour¨¦ also ran here, and Campbell was attracted by Ronaldinho.


    Since then, Nedved has entered from the middle!


    Nedved, who touched the ball at the same time, had formed a single-shot trend. He passed the penalty spot. When Lehman abandoned the goal, Nedved suddenly passed the ball gently to the right front, and the ball came from Lehman. Rolling on the left in front of him, he moved to save again, too late.


    But Larson appeared in Lehman''s field of vision. Under Lehman''s desperate gaze, Larsson gently pushed the ball into the empty goal!


    "3:1, 3:1, 3:1, Millwall locks the victory! The person who locks the win for them is the mad lion hero king, Henrik Larson! Larson will be 33 years old in the fall! He In the short playing time, there are unforgettable performances! One assist helps Millwall lead, and one goal helps Millwall lock the league champion! Nedved is too calm and too selfless! He can shoot, but he still passes the ball in pursuit of stability. This is a very risky pass. If, if Larson does not keep up, the ball will be out of the baseline, but Nedved must Very confident, no one in the world knows Larson on the football field better than he does, no!"


    The four people in the magic attack group came together, laughed at each other, and put their arms around their shoulders together. At this moment, countless fans around the world saw this scene through the live broadcast of the game. Perhaps they are not passionate, but they are enough to remember Branded in!


    Wenger had no blood on his face. He looked up to see the time. There were 10 minutes left. Counting stoppage time, maybe two or three minutes more.


    Van Bronckhorst couldn''t keep up with Larson, and Bergkamp''s range of activity also plummeted.


    On the Millwall side, Aldridge suddenly knelt on the sidelines when he saw Larson scoring a goal, his arms spread out with a soft smile, and then, when Jenson was doing the same with him During the action, many Millwall coaches and players imitated this action.


    There are nearly ten people kneeling on the side of the field and facing their heroes on the field. It seems to be worshipping and proud!


    Fans of Millwall in the stands collectively made a gesture of worship with their hands pressed down.


    The lion hero king Larson, the **** of war Nedved, the killer king Henry, the elven king Ronaldinho, they are the pride of Millwall, Millwall is the world''s most powerful soldier in Europe!


    When Aldridge stood up, he raised his chin and looked around Highbury''s stand. Most of Arsenal''s fans were dumbfounded, and a small number of them had bowed their heads.


    He said to himself: "The myth that prevents you from undefeating, regaining the throne at your door, has not reached the top of the list in 37 rounds, and finally reached the top at the last minute! Dynasty is coming!"

 Chapter 981： Veteran is brave, making legends in ten years

    Wenger was bloodless.


    Before the kick-off, Millwall and Arsenal were replaced at the same time!


    This caused ridicule from the speaker.


    "Millwall made his second substitution and made a change, but Arsenal was only the first substitution, and in the situation where the score was already two goals behind, Wenger and Sir Hall''s field match, Hall The Jazz clearly led Wenger by at least one step, and looking back the first 80 minutes of the game, Millwall may have been leading the overall strategy!"


    Millwall replaced full-back Ashley Cole and replaced Lucas Neal.


    Arsenal''s substitutions were replaced by teenager Krishna''s exhausted Van Bronckhorst, and Vertod replaced Bergkamp, ??who was also exhausted.


    Every coach has a clear command style, like Wenger, even in desperate situations, there are few fighting substitutions that pile up forwards to weaken the defense. The current substitution adjustments also seem to be counterpoint substitutions.


    Perhaps Wenger attaches great importance to the team''s operating system. He will inject vitality into a mature system, but he would rather not destroy the tactical system structure that tears him apart.


    Strengthening the defense is meaningless to Arsenal. They desperately want to score goals, but if they accumulate forwards, they will inevitably weaken the defense further, which Wenger naturally does not want to see.


    And he should also know that Clichy is still immature, only energetic and inexperienced, Vertod has played a low number of games this season, and it is difficult to be expected to be as high as Kanu. In the face of the mad lion, only 10 minutes in the early days, hoping for the birth of a miracle, not many people around the world will believe.


    At this time, Millwall was able to fight back, the attack line retreated, and the midfield and backcourt stabilised control.


    Arsenal played only one offense and did not touch the ball for 2 minutes.


    All Millwall coaches and players stood on the sidelines, waiting for the end of the game and waiting for the final whistle to sound.


    Afterwards, the commentator suddenly said with great passion: "When Neal played, we realized that a Millwall lineup had changed! Booth, Neal, Southgate, Schneider, Lal Sen, Nedved! These six players are the first generation of mad lion veterans after Sir Hall took over Millwall ten years ago! Ten years later, they also wore mad lion shirts. Ten years later, They are on the same court, ten years later, they don¡¯t need to say anything, they don¡¯t need to prove anything, they sing their youth with loyalty, they dedicate everything to Millwall! They wrote the ten-year legend of the crazy lion!"


    "Lucas Neal is a player who came to the team earlier than Sir Hall. Ten years ago, in the summer of 1994, Sir Hall entered the mad lion and recruited heavily in the transfer market. A total of more than 20 players were introduced, but in the end, only 6 players who could accompany Sir Hall to today and have gone through ten years of storms, they are all on the court now, waiting to take the sixth place of Millwall Premier League together The league championship trophy! This is a decade of mad lions. If you count the number of historical champions, Millwall cannot claim to be the king of England, but they can proudly announce to the world: We are the king of the Premier League! In 1992, the Premier League was born, In 1994, Millwall was reborn. In 95, Millwall played for the first time in the Premier League. In nine seasons, he won six league titles!"


    "People are always asking, why is Millwall so strong? Why can he rob the championship with a super stable and often impressive performance in ten years? Just ask, in today''s football, which team can send 5 in the decisive battle? A player who has played for a team for ten years? With the long-term replacement, Neil himself is very good, he can play the main force in other middle and upper teams. Real Madrid, AC Milan, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, regardless of league Inside, or on the European battlefield, no team is as stable as Millwall!"


    "Yes, Sir Hall knew from the first day of his coaching that Millwall, who had no crown for 100 years, wanted to conquer Europe by first having their souls! Southgate, Larson, Nedved, Bu Especially, Schneider and Neil, it is their unswervingness, their loyalty, their dedication that never asks for, and supports the spine of the mad lion, which makes the mad lion face a big size in the ten years of wind and rain Innumerable dilemmas, when the crises exaggerated by the media are coming, Millwall can always overcome the difficulties firmly and appear in front of the public with a stronger attitude! They are extremely important to the past of this team. Without them, We can hardly imagine that maybe the mad lions have long been dismembered and destroyed by European powerhouses, and their importance to Millwall is also self-evident. They are totems, spiritual symbols, belief heritage, and Millwall¡¯s unparalleled wealth. , They occupy the memory of the fans of the crazy lion over the past decade, and continue to have a positive impact on Millwall now and in the future, Ronaldinho said he learned to be strong from Nedved, from Larson I learned experience from my body, learned responsibility from Southgate, and so on. Such examples happen every day inside Millwall, and they set an example for a new generation of crazy lion players, which will make new generations of new crazy lions. The benefits are endless!"


    Arsenal have not bowed to fate, they are struggling, doing the final counterattack, they are snatching the ball!


    However, Millwall''s skillful and tacit transfer of control has made Arsenal''s big pressure "spontaneous."


    In the 87th minute, Neil fiercely succeeded in stealing the ball from Yong Berry''s foot, and then saw Yong Berry also unable to catch up with him, so he took the ball along the sidewalk and immediately transferred the ball to the running position after halftime. Ronaldinho empty.


    Ronaldinho is almost out of energy, but it is no problem to insist on this outbreak. He dribble the ball to the side and dribble two steps, then turn the inside horizontal dribble, Silva was embarrassed to stop in front of him. Falling to the ground, Ronaldinho broke through the backline and faced Campbell and Toure''s defense. He defended the ball and aimed at the air when the ball was straight. Nedved, who counter-attacked into the penalty area, volleyed without stopping the ball and the ball hit the net!


    "Nedved scored! 4:1, Arsenal''s massive pressure led to emptiness in the backcourt, Ronaldinho attracted Arsenal defender after the breakthrough, and then passed Nedved, Millwall completely killed Suspense is dead! When leading two goals, the suspense almost no longer exists. Now, it is time for Arsenal to accept the final judgment of fate! Millwall won the championship soon and entered the countdown!"


    Nedved took off his jersey after scoring a goal and ran on the sidelines. The blond man was heroic, as wild as he was ten years ago.


    At this moment, in Highbury''s stands, many Arsenal fans cried in tears.


    But Millwall''s fans did not create a higher decibel celebration sound, and gradually, the visiting team stands on the stands, gathered a spectacular picture.


    Fanatic Lions raised the scarf in their hands, stretched them out, and sang their team song collectively.


    The scarlet lion team logo is the most conspicuous. If you don''t look closely, you will find this scarf pattern chaotic, dense small letters I do not know what is embroidered on it.


    But if you look closely, you will find countless names embroidered on it.


    1994-1995: Southgate, Larson, Nedved, Trezeguet...


    1995-1996: ...


    This was the decade when Aldridge coached Millwall, and the Hall family became a lion.


    This scarf was released last fall and was sold out early by fans.


    Maybe the style is not novel and the pattern is not beautiful, but every word embroidered on it is extra precious, representing a memory, condensing the ten years of spring and autumn mad lion soul.


    Every season, the names of Millwall first team players are embroidered on it.


    And only six names above are embroidered with heavy blue fonts, there are the only remaining six elders of Millwall, ten years of merit, ten years of legend!


    The oldest Southgate will be 34 in autumn.


    The youngest Neil is 26 years old.


    Perhaps five other players besides Neal are already veterans, and are or have entered the end of their careers.


    But today, Schneider scored a goal, Nedved scored, Larson also scored, but Bout is still guarding the city gate for Millwall, Southgate still leads the defense.


    They are veterans!


    But they are still brave and capable!


    Lion fans are paying tribute to Aldridge¡¯s ten-year legend, to Millwall¡¯s glory in the past decade, and to the legend of merit remaining in the team today...


    Arsenal, collapsed!


    Even Vieira bowed her head, stopped going forward and rushed, no longer trying to achieve the miracle of scoring three goals.


    That is impossible!


    There is no hope anymore.


    Aldridge used the last substitution to consume time when injury time arrived.


    "Ronaldinho was replaced and it was his compatriot Kaka. Millwall now has 11 players on the field. From the age structure, it is really a combination of new and old. Loyal veteran, there are three young stars, De Rossi, Alonso, Kaka, count Ronaldo who was replaced today, and Villa sitting on the bench, what reason do we have to refuse to expect Mill Wall''s second legendary decade? Refusing to believe that under the leadership of Sir Hall, Millwall, which developed in an extremely stable state, will create their second dynasty era? Millwall is no longer a team with nothing, They have a past, a present, and an exciting future!"


    When the whistle of the game ended, all Millwall players and coaches rushed into the field!


    They are more passionate than many championship moments in the past!


    Because they completed a great miracle!


    "The 2003-2004 season in the English Premier League ended perfectly! From the end of the second round of the Premier League on August 24 last year, Arsenal sat at the top of the list from that moment until May 15 this year, they have been League leader! However, on this day, less than an hour before the end of the Premier League, they lost their position as leader. They were in Highbury and lost 1:4 at their home court. They have been chasing their Millwall since the first half! Only one game away, Arsenal can create an undefeated myth, which belongs to them. But now, they have won 25 wins in 38 Premier League rounds. 12 draws, 1 loss record! The game they lost, let them lose the league title! Millwall with 26 wins, 11 draws, 1 loss record at the last moment reversed Arsenal to the throne of the league championship, It is now possible to announce that Sir Hall will lead Millwall back to the Premier League! After 12 days, they are likely to return to the top of Europe! This is an unimaginable miracle moment! The final suspense of the Premier League is finally revealed at the end! Millwall, crowned league champion this season at Highbury Dunki! Six titles in nine years, a tribute to Sir Hall¡¯s ten-year legend and a tribute to Millwall¡¯s ten-year glory!"

 Chapter 982： Turbulent

    Highbury.


    Heaven and hell, sea water and flames.


    This defeat is hard to imagine for the fans.


    The perfect Arsenal in their hearts gave away the champion in the end, no, it wasn''t, it was violently plundered by Millwall!


    Many fans left, but many fans sat in the stands holding their heads dull, and seemed to be thinking: Why?


    Is it like some media criticized on Fleet Street?


    This 37-round undefeated Arsenal, with 12 draws, was not born to win? They have too many draws.


    Many fans do not know that some media are the mouthpiece of the Millwall camp, and the propaganda is to fight Arsenal.


    There are also many people who believe that Millwall is indeed too strong. Their accumulated knowledge over the past ten years is enough to make them unstoppable during the outbreak.


    Even if they are the rising stars in their formation, De Rossi, Alonso, Ronaldo, Kaka, Villa, the least senior one is Kaka, and Kaka has already stayed in Millwall for three Season!


    The tacit understanding of their entire team is extremely powerful!


    In the face of this defeat, Arsenal''s players are shocked and frustrated by outsiders.


    Ibrahimovic played a very stunning performance this season. If there is no Henry, he will win the Premier League Golden Boots. Similarly, he is still the top ten assists.


    However, he could only look down at the ground with his hands on his hips after the game, and his proud head couldn''t be raised any more.


    No one heard him talking to himself.


    "Winning the championship here is simply impossible!"


    Why is it impossible?


    Because there is Millwall who could not meet his personal conditions and missed it!


    Ibrahimovic has been invited by many teams, even Chelsea are willing to offer him very high transfer fees and personal contract treatment, but he stayed at Arsenal, not for money, but for the championship.


    He can feel that this season Arsenal has reached the limit, but this limit, but can not add a top league championship to his personal honor.


    He also believes that he will stay here and next season, he will be stronger.


    But, next season, will Bergkamp be stronger? Will Pires be stronger? But Millwall will definitely be stronger!


    He lifted his right hand and wiped it on his forehead. Ibrahimovic took off his jersey and walked lonely towards the player channel. He left, and he never returned to Highbury as an Arsenal player.


    It was his teammates who fell in the same mood, Vieira also left, and Van Bronckhorst also left.


    On the day when the champion''s dream broke, Arsenal also said goodbye to an era.


    After the summer European Cup, Ibrahimovic moved to Juventus, Vieira moved to Inter Milan, and Van Bronckhorst moved to Barcelona.


    Wenger injected technical elements into Arsenal, making the dull "library" in the past gorgeous and delicate, but in the past era, Arsenal''s core has always been counterattacks. Only counterattacks, they have gorgeous performances, only counterattacks , Arsenal can only step forward to the capital of the championship, and when the counterattack reached its peak this season, Arsenal was eventually reversed by Millwall.


    With the very important players on the third line running away, the veteran Bergkamp retreated to the second line, Wenger''s Arsenal began to enter a transition period, from the core concept of counterattack football style, officially moved towards offensive football, Wenger began to collect No. 10 Players, began to shape the perfect Arsenal in the new ideal.


    ...


    Highbury became the ocean where Millwall won the carnival.


    Future fans who mentioned Millwall''s splendor this season will definitely say: Crowning at Highbury is the most wonderful moment for the Lions.


    No, wrong, wrong!


    In the eyes of the Millwalls, nowhere outside is as good as his own home. Even if it is not Highbury, it is Upton Park Stadium, Stamford Bridge, and Old Trafford, it is not as good as the Lion King Stadium.


    In that case, they will have 60,000 crazy lion fans come to the scene to witness this miracle and witness their team regain the throne.


    Now, there are only 10,000 poor fans, and the scene is a bit deserted.


    Celebrating in other people¡¯s places may have malicious pleasure in spiritual morale, but you will always feel a little uncomfortable, just like you go to someone¡¯s home to celebrate your birthday, will it be more free and enjoyable than in your own home?


    On the court, Aldridge embraced every player, especially with Southgate and Nedved when they embraced, everything was silent and the emotions were extremely deep.


    Many years ago, when Aldridge was confused, sitting on the streets of Rome and chatting with De Rossi, he felt deeply in his heart: Who will accompany me to the end?


    Time, gives the answer.


    He will no longer be sad for the leaving, he will only cherish the people before him.


    He was thrown into the sky by the players, he laughed and ran on the court with the players, and danced a cheerful samba dance with Ronaldinho...


    At Highbury, Millwall returns to the Premier League!


    After 12 days, the sword points to the top of Europe!


    ...


    Millwall''s league reversal is another epic, and it is undoubtedly the greatest shock to the Premier League!


    Arsenal was directly hit from the peak to the trough.


    Manchester United.


    Ferguson patted the table at the board of directors before taking a vacation. The hysterical roar only clarified the fact that you will not give money anymore. Man Lenovo catches up with Millwall and dreams!


    Liverpool.


    Boss David Moores is a well-respected old man who has been in charge of Liverpool since the early 1990s. Despite his hard work, it is as ironic as Fleet Street: Mr. Moores has always been a hard-working driver, but he has rushed Don''t move Liverpool''s increasingly bulky old cow!


    When Chelsea is no longer a sudden rise, becoming a stable league powerhouse, Moores can¡¯t sit still. Although he is not a particularly rich rich man, there is a far cry from Abu, but he still sells iron. The empty family came to squeeze Liverpool''s budget for the new season transfer. Then, he took the Liverpool team to Spain, and with full sincerity, he paid a lot of money to hire Spain''s most handsome young handsome Benitez.


    Liverpool have no Champions League to play next season, Valencia has won the league championship this season, but Valencia¡¯s internal war has reached the tipping point of the break, the war is not in the locker room, but in the management, Benitez Enough to fight openly with the general manager Pitaki, the two men who were in full swing ended the invisible war.


    After Benitez left the motto "I want a sofa, but they bought me a table lamp", he resolutely accepted Liverpool''s sincere invitation, and will see him again next season with Aldridge''s old man, opposing the camp!


    Chelsea.


    Chelsea, who was reborn from the cocoon, spent a season in the eyes of outsiders that could be regarded as a success, but internally summarized but failed.


    They have steadily maintained the results of entering the Champions League next season. At the same time, the Champions League reached the semi-finals this season and replaced it with Leeds United. This result will have been recalled for ten years and is called the pinnacle.


    However, Chelsea spent more than 100 million pounds. Abu came down in a season to buy, repay debts, renovate the stadium, improve the quality of infrastructure, introduce players and pay wages. He paid nearly 500 million pounds!


    Chelsea have no champions.


    He now understands why when he wanted to buy Millwall, Andrew said that the price of one billion pounds was very fair.


    Because Millwall is almost perfect, its operating income and expenditure are not only balanced, but also slightly profitable. Its commercial development is ahead of its competitors. The commercial chain with Lion King Stadium as the core is fighting for money, and it is also fully developing commercial cooperation channels.


    The most important thing is that only the input of the players is introduced. Millwall has a past, present and future. In this regard, Millwall is at least three years ahead of its opponents. The money saved is all money.


    At that time, Abu was too expensive in his heart, but he was not embarrassed to say that plus Aldrich did not sell, he borrowed the donkey.


    Now to calculate this account, he wants to make Chelsea successful, I am afraid that it will be more than one billion.


    On the day of the end of the Premier League season, Abu had already gone on vacation. He did not care about the outcome of Chelsea''s last league. Anyway, he can play in the Champions League next season.


    While he was on vacation, he watched the live broadcast of the game between Millwall and Arsenal. After the game was over, he picked up the phone and called his new CEO.


    Abu discovered that football was a bottomless hole when he continued to check, and Chelsea was only limited to the local Stamford Bridge. The business chain of the Chelsea village was still mature, but this was far from enough, so half a year ago, he dug Peter Kenyon from Manchester United. , Kenyon is responsible for the transfer operation of the Chelsea club, because last summer, the Chelsea transfer market hit the wall, and the behavior of the layman upstart was laughed at by the majority of his peers. He needed professionals to do this work. At the same time, It takes Kenyon¡¯s talents in management and marketing to work hard to make Chelsea a self-sufficient club with its own blood supply.


    Otherwise, Abu continues to play like this. He himself doubts how long he can persist and change to other rich people. The money spent on Chelsea in the past season is enough to ruin.


    After answering the call with Kenyon, Abu wrote lightly: "This season is over, and work can begin next season."


    On the second day when Millwall won the championship, major media on Fleet Street reported on Millwall''s "epic reversal", and Millwall made a splash all of a sudden.


    But after only one day, the newspaper headline was snatched away by another club.


    Who?


    Chelsea!


    "Chelsea made a ¡ê80 million offer for Henry! A ¡ê200,000 weekly contract was sent!"


    All other club seasons are over.


    But Millwall hasn''t.


    They also have the Champions League final!


    The players had only two days off. When they returned to the club on the third day, when Henry came outside the training base, he was blocked by countless reporters and eagerly asked about his rumors about his transfer to Chelsea.


    Henry did not avoid the media. To prepare for the game, the team must concentrate on it. Such multimedia, and speculation around him, is not a good signal, and it is not conducive to the atmosphere of the team''s preparation environment.


    So he dropped the car window and answered the reporters'' questions openly.


    "I''m not going anywhere! I will complete the renewal of the new contract with the club soon. Please stop harassing me with such boring questions."


    Yes, Millwall''s job of renewing the team''s players has been on the agenda, and they will never be passive.


    Henry trained as usual, and there was no soap opera. The dust settled the next day. Chelsea publicly quoted. Millwall publicly refused. The player also expressed his position. There is nothing to continue to hype. Chelsea will only be laughed at again.


    However, without waiting for Fleet Street to ridicule Chelsea, another transfer news immediately jumped to the headlines.


    "Chelsea openly requested Ronaldinho for a price of ¡ê60 million!"


    Ronaldinho expressed the same attitude as Henry. He expressed his attitude when he left at the end of training and was very disgusted with Chelsea''s approach.


    "We are preparing for the Champions League final, can Chelsea stop them? Ah? Do they even have a little common sense of respect? Who will go to the ghost place of Chelsea? I said a long time ago about my transfer to leave Millwall All the rumors are false. If each team quotes and wants me to leave, you have to ask me once. Are you tired? I feel very tired! Goodbye! Oh, no, don¡¯t see you again!"

 Chapter 983： Stormy

    Millwall has 11 days to prepare for the Champions League final after winning the league.


    In the first two days, they conducted half a day of restorative training and then took a holiday, followed by a four-day training in London, and then a day off. They will arrive in Germany three days before the Champions League final.


    The day before their departure.


    The community where Aldridge lives usually looks deserted. The residents own independent villas, not far from each other. They are in the same community, but they are also "sparsely populated." In this street in the community, There are only more than 20 households.


    When the sun was shining near noon, a car was parked in front of Aldridge''s house. The owner wanted to turn into a temporary parking spot outside Aldridge''s house, but someone was in front of him.


    Uh, not only people, but also dogs, a group of dogs.


    It was none other than the driver. It was Millwall CEO Adam who looked weirdly at the group of dogs sitting on the ground in front of him and the little child standing at the end of the group of dogs.


    When the three leading dogs barked at the car twice, holding the dog rope in one hand and holding an ice cream in the other, the little boy pretended to shout "STOP" to the dog group like a general. The dog really listened to him and sat down obediently without speaking.


    Adam recognized at a glance the little boy holding a group of dogs, Aldridge''s second son, Earl.


    Earl likes dogs, and Burt doesn''t like it. Burt can''t help riding on some bigger dogs. That must be a bully.


    The group of dogs in front of you is very expensive, they are all neighbors¡¯ pet dogs, and their breeds are different, but they have been playing together for a long time, and their temperament is good and aggressive. They naturally become good partners and live in the same community. Neighbors also don¡¯t mind pet dogs playing together, just in case someone¡¯s **** is ¡°bowed hard¡± by another male dog, or people can¡¯t understand ¡°two loves to steal the forbidden fruit¡±, or Will cause some minor disputes.


    Unlike Burt who plays football every day is entertainment, Earl can¡¯t help himself, plus he likes dogs, and often helps neighbors walk their dogs. Today, by chance, he brought out many neighbor¡¯s dogs, not many. Quite a few, exactly 11 dogs.


    So after Adam got out of the car, he looked down at the situation where 11 dogs with different colors and different looks were sitting on the ground with tongue out, he suddenly lost his mind.


    These cute or well-behaved dogs.


    Under Earl''s command, a 433 formation was arranged...


    Of course, Earl also knew Adam. When Adam stared at the 433 dogs in a strange expression, Earl tilted his head and asked, "Sir, do you need me to introduce them to you?"


    "Ok?"


    ¡°It¡¯s called Percy, but it¡¯s now Bernd, and it¡¯s next to Lola, but it¡¯s now Alessandro, and it¡¯s called by its owner, ¡®Ghost¡¯, but now it¡¯s Gareth..."


    "Cough, um, I understand, understand, Earl, is your father at home?"


    If in China, Earl will definitely be beaten. Obviously, he not only made this group of dogs a 433 formation, but also regarded each dog as the main player of Millwall. Of course, this is very common in Europe and the United States. Just like when an alien is playing in Barcelona, ??he will name his dog the Golden Boot Award, some players are friends, maybe his pet dog is called this friend''s name...


    If the names of "Beckham" and "Victoria" are heard frequently in the streets and all over the UK, don''t think that Beckham and the hot girl appeared in that place, maybe the owner is calling the dog''s name, oh, now And Aldridge''s name.


    Aldrich himself felt very sad, he was also very disgusted, but in the investigation of the British Charity Veterinary Association, unfortunately, Beckham and the hot girl are the most popular dog owners to choose the name of the dog, Aldridge tight Followed by.


    Aldridge can only comfort himself: what he **** up is the cultural difference between East and West.


    You can insult countless times that the person you hate is a dog, and the other party may think you like him very much.


    Earl turned his head to look at his villa and nodded, "Daddy is at home, Aunt Yiwen is also at home. Sir, do you eat ice cream?"


    Adam was about to walk towards Aldridge''s house, and he had to turn his head and shook his head to Earl: "No, thank you."


    "It''s a shame, ice cream is delicious, how about I invite you?"


    Adam always felt uncomfortable after getting out of the car and couldn''t understand why Earl was so enthusiastic.


    After he declined again, Earl sighed in loss.


    Adam can only lament that Earl was upbringing, and even if the petitioner was rejected, he would be extremely lost.


    It¡¯s just that he didn¡¯t know that after he walked away, Earl squatted down and gently stroked the little chihuahua, who represented the goalkeeper Bout, and said to himself: "He really hates! Why not accept it? If he does Accept, I can take out two more ice creams from the refrigerator, give him one, I will eat one more, and wait for him to go, tell Aunt Yiwen that he ate two..."


    Adam came to the door of Aldridge''s house, pressed the doorbell, and stood waiting three times.


    The door opened slowly, and Adam pressed the doorbell three more times.


    In the bedroom upstairs, Audridge and Ewen were eagerly searching for clothes.


    Well, it''s time to fly to Germany tomorrow.


    Before Aldridge left, he and Ewen naturally fell apart in the bedroom.


    Ewen is no longer a girl. Although Bonnie was born, she also carried out a weight-loss plan for more than half a year, but in general, her body is more plump, with the temptation that a mature woman can¡¯t hide, Aldridge now reduces overtime. After that, she will always be interested, or the graceful curve revealed by her action, or the normal normal communication will suddenly catch fire...


    "It must not be that the children are back, they have the keys, there must be guests coming, who will it be?"


    The sloppy-haired Yiwen simply took out the new underwear from the closet and began to put it on. Aldrich saw it, and also walked over. He pulled the clothes in the closet and said, "Shall you go down first? Maybe Did the neighbor send some homemade snacks?"


    In their community, there are really female households such as lonely milf. Aldrich''s occasional "business trip" work is very regular, and like some neighbors, it is indispensable to travel around the world and busy "big business" Man, there may be Jinwu Zangjiao.


    A lonely woman always wants to do something. If you don¡¯t have the courage to steal a man, you will also like to make friends with some new girlfriends to solve the loneliness.


    Yiwen just put on her underwear and was putting on a dress on her body. She didn¡¯t wear it for half a day and found it very crowded. After a closer look, she realized that it was two years ago. At that time, she was thinner than now. In one lap, I was annoyed and replaced a new one, glaring at Aldridge while wearing it: "If it''s Dessi, don''t go downstairs. The last time she came to the house as a guest, F! Her eyes seemed to be Eat you up!"


    Aldridge had just put on his trousers and was pulling on his belt. He asked with a puzzled expression: "Who is Daisy?"


    "It was the woman who came to the house the day before yesterday congratulations to the woman who led Millwall to the championship. In a black dress, she has been saying that she is also a fan of Millwall. She is a liar! Big liar!


    Aldrich thought carefully and asked, "She? That woman is Daisy? Don''t let her come home again. Her **** is like two basketballs. I was really worried about my beloved single sofa that day. Squeezed by her."


    Poof.


    Yiwen couldn''t help laughing, and immediately asked, "What do you think her **** is doing?"


    Aldridge rolled his eyes and put on a shirt, but said helplessly: "Do you think I want to see it? Can you ignore such conspicuous things? Too scary! Eh? Why are you saying that she is a liar? She might really be a Mil What about Wall fans."


    "She even had the wrong name for Ronaldinho. Will she be a Millwall fan? Also, many neighbors know that when Jeff is not at home, there will be a foreign car in front of her house, a stranger The man stayed at her house for two or three hours, but she said she was a salesman. Oh my God, she was insulting our IQ."


    Aldridge fastened his shirt buttons and shrugged: "Jeff might have a new party outside. I took a team to France a few months ago and saw him hugging a young girl at the airport. I wanted to be with him. Say hello and find that the situation is not right. In order to avoid embarrassment, the newly raised hand was immediately put down and then quickly left the airport."


    Yi Wen began to sort out the scattered blond hair, she asked in a puzzled way: "If so, why don''t they divorce?"


    Aldridge saw her eyes become weird, and when she was not pretending to be ignorant, she sighed exaggeratedly: "Money! Of course money! Divorce is a lawsuit, and divorce is divided into property!"


    Yi Wen froze for a moment, and immediately asked, "I''m not losing?"


    Aldridge took her face, kissed her delicate lips, and smiled, "Yeah, who made you stupid!"


    Ewen was angry and laughing. When Aldridge pulled his hands back, he said to her again: "Continue at night, let me go and see first. If it is your friend, I call you, uh, it''s a little messy here."


    Before he left the bedroom, he pointed to Yiwen''s hurriedly sorted hairstyle.


    Yi Wen walked to the dressing table and sat down, looking at herself in the mirror who had become a "mother", and she had not worn a wedding dress before, and she didn''t expect it before, thinking it was just a form, it didn''t matter. , I can''t help but have illusions, growing stronger.


    ...


    Aldridge went downstairs and found that the visitor was Adam. As for why Aldridge was late to open the door to treat guests, Adam did not ask. He walked in and sat in the living room opposite Aldridge.


    Ten years passed in a blink of an eye.


    Aldrich has a good relationship with many people. Like fine wine, the longer it is stored, the more mellow it becomes.


    However, his relationship with Adam has always been tepid. In addition to official exchanges, Aldridge suddenly thought that his friends had never thought of inviting Adam, and Adam¡¯s private life circle seemed to have never existed. .


    He didn''t think too much, just as an ordinary unspoken rule in the workplace, just like in a large company, would a part-time worker think about inviting the boss when entertaining?


    It is enough to be trembling on weekdays. Who would like to meet with the boss in charge outside of work?


    Adam''s visit today, in addition to reporting on the team''s contract renewal work, is also to listen to Aldridge''s opinions on how Chelsea''s recent crazy buying offense should be responded to.


    "Chelsea? Don''t worry about them. Chelsea has nothing but money. What did the players who went to Stamford Bridge last summer get? There was nothing but money, except for a three to five year contract, three or five years later. These players have either delayed their careers or their value has fallen. I don¡¯t care what Chelsea is doing, and we can¡¯t stop the wealthy people from building momentum. Yes, Chelsea¡¯s recent actions are just a momentum. They are proclaiming their existence to the world. But, what do you use to promote? What do you use to attract people''s attention? Do you have a few ideals? Chelsea''s past? Did Chelsea''s results last season? No, nothing, they can only use money to increase their influence , Buying Henry, Ronaldinho, Nesta, C Ronaldo, etc., they successfully made headlines and slightly increased their influence, it does not matter, ignore them."


    Aldrich feels that Chelsea is playing tricks normally, because they only have money, no money, Chelsea is worthless, and it is never special, so what is wrong with taking advantage of doing things that are in your favor?


    Is Kenyon taking his own shame?


    surely not.


    Henry could not be bought last summer, Millwall had just won the league title, they also came to buy Henry, the probability of success is significantly lower than last summer!


    But they did so!


    They knew they would not succeed, but they wanted to give the outside world a signal.


    Being rich is the first, and planning to use the money to build a stronger Chelsea is the second.


    With the advent of the golden dollar era, Aldridge could not control this situation, he could not prevent Chelsea to spend money to buy.


    It also includes Real Madrid, Barcelona, ??and future Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and so on.


    If you panic because of this, Aldridge will surely live in panic every day for the next ten years.


    How to deal with it?


    There is no way to fully control the situation.


    After the Bosman Act, the player''s voice has been continuously improved, and even began to occupy a certain initiative in the transfer.


    Millwall and Aldridge only have to do one thing, let the players distinguish and judge what it means to stay in Millwall and what it means to leave.


    The operating expenses of the club should be within their means, and the players should be treated as much as possible in line with their worth and contribution.


    Adam figured out Aldridge''s attitude, and then got up to say goodbye.


    On the way he drove away, he took out the phone, dialed a number, and said after the call was connected: "The man who is arrogant and arrogant is not vigilant. You must speed up your actions. He will go after the Champions League final. Portugal led the team to compete in the European Cup. If it cannot be finalized before August, things will fall through. Millwall¡¯s transfer gate will be closed before the start of the new season."


    One thing Adam didn''t tell Aldridge.


    In terms of club and player renewal issues, the top stars are basically no problem, Millwall gave enough treatment.


    However, in the treatment of mid-range players renewal, encountered some trouble.


    The reason is naturally caused by the turmoil of Chelsea''s crazy buying.


    Unlike buying in the past, this time, Chelsea not only made a public offer, but also directly disclosed the basic treatment of players to the public.


    For example, Henry, they are willing to give a weekly salary of 200,000 pounds, and Ronaldinho is willing to give 200,000 pounds.


    In the subsequent bidding, they were willing to give Villa C Ronaldo and Kaka ¡ê80,000, Ashley Cole ¡ê80,000, and De Rossi, Alonso, and a ¡ê50,000 weekly salary. and many more.


    It is these secondary factors that are brewing this summer''s big storm in the transfer market.

 Chapter 984： Foe

    Nearly 70 hours before the Champions League final, the Millwall team traveled from London to the northern Ruhr area of ??Germany and came to the city of Gelsenkirchen. Before World War II, this was an industrial area, known as the city of thousand fires, but unfortunately it was allied during World War II. After the military bombing, there was no coal mine here, and the newly-rising city was approaching a turning point. Today, it is just a city with a population of about 300,000.


    When the Champions League final is about to be staged, this place, which can be called a small town, has a large number of fans. Fans from Portugal and London are the main force. In addition, fans from all over the world who want to watch the Champions League final live are coming.


    This year''s Champions League final will be played in the city''s pride in the Schalke Stadium. This is the home of Schalke 04. It is well-known in Germany. After it was built and opened three years ago, the German classmate Bayern Munich visited the stadium. The record was a total defeat, making this newly built 5-star course quickly gaining fame.


    As the war is approaching, Millwall prepares in an orderly manner. The atmosphere in the team is good, and no tension or pressure is seen. This is Millwall''s fifth final in the UEFA Champions League in ten years and the seventh final in the Club Intercontinental Cup.


    What is nervous?


    The veteran players in the team are unhurried, and their rich experience is influencing the young players in the team. Like Nedvedlarsensosgate, they are playing a good role of "passing the belt".


    Football media all over the world portray this pinnacle of Europe as: the battle of the old enemy!


    There is no other reason.


    Aldridge is too aggressive to meet opponents.


    This year, Millwall''s opponent in the final is: Porto!


    Last year, in the UEFA Cup finals, the two teams played against each other!


    Last year''s UEFA Cup, this year''s Champions League.


    Millwall returned to the top from the trough, and Porto is the dark horse that stood out in the second-tier European league.


    Many people think this is a fatal confrontation.


    Audrey, who ushered in the tenth anniversary of coaching, met Mourinho, who came to the final stage of the top of Europe less than five years ago.


    Of course, in terms of physical age, Audric is younger than Mourinho.


    However, compared to the age of coaching the team, Odrici is undoubtedly the predecessor of Mourinho, Mourinho must look up to exist.


    At the time when Aldrich was so popular that the older generation and the Mesozoic world-class coaches were all willing to take the leeway, Mourinho, the most beautiful in the new generation of UEFA, was highly expected to some extent.


    Expect this Portuguese madman to overthrow the rule of young commander Aldridge!


    Under the rendering of the media, Mourinho has become the second "Audric".


    Although his coaching trajectory is unlikely to coincide with Aldridge''s timeline, there are indeed many similarities.


    In his third year of coaching, Aldridge won the Premier League championship and entered the final of the European Cup Winners'' Cup.


    Mourinho won the Portuguese Super Championship in the third year of coaching and entered the UEFA Cup final.


    In his fourth year of coaching, Aldridge came to the top of Europe.


    Mourinho, too.


    However, Mourinho coached Porto, and had two resignations before, one was job-hopping and one was fired.


    Even Mourinho took over from Porto in the second year of coaching and got the second runner-up in the league, which also coincided with Millwall''s second-year record as a Premier League runner-up in Audridge.


    And Mourinho completed the Portuguese Super League defending this season, he has long been famous in Europe, but also established a "madman" image.


    He is also at home with the Portuguese media, and his words are crazy.


    "Under normal circumstances, we Porto must be the league champion. If something happens? We must be the champion!"


    I don¡¯t know if the Porto match-fixing case will be settled four years later and deprived of the qualification for the Champions League five years later. Whether someone will make a malicious speculation in conjunction with Mourinho¡¯s rhetoric in the future.


    Porto has improved this season. It is slightly more ideal than last season when it was in the UEFA Cup. This season is more pragmatic. In addition to Mourinho¡¯s undervalued players, they have grown up, experienced, more united and other factors. , Including their technical and tactical play.


    The reason why Mourinho has become the most powerful among the new generation of head coaches today, he even reached a secret agreement with Chelsea a month ago and was chased by Real Madrid during the same period.


    The reason is that their achievements in the Champions League and their **** at home are not enough to show how outstanding Mourinho is.


    After all, the Portuguese Super League is the European second-tier league. In the end, the three consecutive Ligue 1 championships should be more prestige. However, Mourinho led Porto in the second round of the Champions League group stage. They were defeated by Real Madrid 3-1 at home in the second round and then came to the final. In the first 10 Champions League games, they remain undefeated!


    And in the round of 16 defeated Manchester United in two rounds, and in the quarterfinals eliminated Ligue 1 class Lyon, in the semifinals, let AC Milan complete the miraculous reversal of La Coruna in the finals. .


    In terms of strength comparison, Porto eliminated the Premier League and Ligue 1 league titles successively. The Champions League defending champion was planted at the foot of A Coru?a, and the achievements of A Coru?a seemed to have become a stepping stone for Porto.


    It is just in these six knockout games that the news content is common: Porto is extremely utilitarian and "dirty".


    Ferguson, Legon, Irueta, the three Mourinho''s men will be defeated in each game, not in the end of the two rounds, when the results come out.


    They attacked Porto in the first round and after the second round, thinking that Porto was too utilitarian. Secondly, players were always "showing", "harassing", "delaying" and "influencing" the game.


    Porto players always have a lot of small movements when defending, and they easily fall over to win favorable penalties when attacking, and they always try to provoke conflicts on the court to benefit their own team.


    Porto¡¯s ability to reach the Champions League final is naturally a remarkable achievement, but they are still dark horses. Dark horses mean that the overall strength has not reached the height recognized by the outside world. This is a reality, not changed by human will, only when successful. Will be gradually mythical by latecomers.


    Just like Millwall who won the Champions League in 1998, now people will still mention that generation of mad lions and make comparisons to compare with the second generation of mad lions. They even come to compare with the current Millwall.


    If Aldrich compares, there is no doubt that the second-generation mad lion is definitely stronger than the first-generation, and the third-generation mad lion is also stronger than that, but it is also inferior to the second-generation, but the third The generation of mad lions is still on the rise, and the future potential is enough for them to surpass the second generation.


    The discussion of Guan Gong and Qin Qiong is of little significance.


    Simply speaking Porto, their players have good potential, but the potential is not linked to strength, just like Carvalho in 2004 and Carvalho in a few years can not be compared.


    Porto''s overall strength must have not yet reached the level of Europe''s first-class peak, so they are dark horses, so their achievements have set off Mourinho''s amazing, it is this madman who has strategized for Porto to win a thousand miles.


    From this perspective, the complaints of Manchester United, Lyon, and A Coru?a are quite "moaning by the complainants", because the football field is not a strong winner.


    For the two consecutive years of meeting with Porto in the Intercontinental Cup final, Aldridge seemed very calm and showed enough demeanor in the UEFA official press conference.


    "Mourinho is a very good coach. I remember when I saw him in 1997, I thought he would have some achievements, so I also sent him an invitation at that time, hoping he would come to work in Millwall Unfortunately, he was rejected by him. He is an ambitious coach. There are many top clubs associated with him. I think it is normal. The Portuguese Super stage cannot satisfy him. He should play in the top stage of the European mainstream league. Talent, cough, as for tomorrow¡¯s Champions League final, Porto has the opportunity, of course, the opportunity, although Millwall is experienced, is also a popular champion, but if we care about the enemy, the result will definitely disappoint us. Now the only thing I worry about is Will the players¡¯ desire for championships have a negative impact on the game. Schneider and Larson can¡¯t wait to reap the fifth Champions League so that they won¡¯t be depressed in front of their friends Pirlo, De Rossi The young guys Alonso are also eager to win the Champions League trophy as the main player for the first time. I can only hope they are not too excited now."


    Aldrich''s remarks at the press conference sounded quite satisfactory, but found a mystery in the interpretation of Fleet Street.


    It is not difficult to find that Aldridge is "angrifying" Mourinho through the media platform, which is a kind of targeted harassment.


    97 years?


    7 years ago, Aldridge used the tone of his predecessors to stimulate Mourinho.


    I was optimistic about you back then, and now you are successful, which proves that I have a good vision.


    And what is the identity of the two at that time?


    At the same time, Aldridge also has "interference" with the Porto team.


    Your coach has been connected with many European teams in the past two months. He is leaving. He is no longer with you.


    This is a public divorce.


    Mourinho was interviewed at a later time, but he was cool with a cold face, an attitude that did not take Audric in his eyes.


    He was naturally angry, and Aldridge poked his weakness.


    He is leaving.


    This will be the last game he coached Porto.


    "I don''t care what other people say, I am with my players, we came to the UEFA Champions League final through hard work, we are now focused on this game, we are all together, and we will do our best to achieve Everyone¡¯s dream. I will not comment on Millwall, because we have been defeating the strong, and the Champions League final is no exception."

 Chapter 985： Stop my hegemony, destroy it!

    Many people think that Mourinho won the Champions League in 2004 before being caught by Chelsea. It seems that the Champions League final is regarded as an "interview assessment".


    This is wrong.


    And it''s obvious.


    May 27 is the final of the Champions League. In the original history, Mourinho officially took office on June 2. In the middle, less than a week.


    Even if Abu is a complete layman, he will not rush to make a decision that has a significant impact on the club within a week.


    As a rich man in charge of tens of billions of pounds of business, early inspections, considerations and deliberations, such work is a necessary process, and his head is determined by fever. This kind of person cannot be a big deal. It takes a long time to buy a player. Instead of deciding on the performance of a game, let alone the coach?


    When did Chelsea''s coaching work begin?


    It started after the New Year, because Chelsea completely bid farewell to the league champion, it is impossible to catch up with Arsenal and Millwall in the standings.


    Abu gradually became a stranger with Eriksson.


    The staff in the club can see their own status changes from many details.


    Erickson naively thought that if he won the Champions League, he would save his handsome position, which is also a wrong idea.


    When Chelsea entered the knockout tournament to play in the Champions League, Ericson¡¯s club status plummeted, such as the arrangement of seats on the plane, accompanying officials, players, coaches, plus team doctors and other staff, 24 rows of seats, Eric Sen was arranged from row 8 to row 18, and at that time, he knew he was starting to be marginalized.


    It was also since then that Chelsea''s continuing "football revolution" also excluded Eriksson.


    In the New Year, the alien Ronaldo took the initiative to come to London to watch Chelsea and Liverpool match, and asked to meet with Abu, Abu informed the Real Madrid club, provoked Florendino, and gave Ronaldo a notice of no rash action. However, the aliens still violated Real Madrid''s helm and took the initiative to throw an olive branch to Chelsea, suggesting that they were willing to join Stamford Bridge to participate in Abu''s revolutionary army!


    In the same period, Chelsea¡¯s new CEO Peter Kenyon took office. The former Manchester United executive and Abu were planning a plan to bring Beckham back to London. Kenyon and Beckham had a great relationship, and it was Kenyon who made Beckham aware. In Manchester United, after he turned against Ferguson, he must be Beckham, not Ferguson, so Kenyon was confident to bring Beckham back to London, and Beckham also made ambiguous remarks at the end of March. Implying that the time is right, he may return to the Premier League.


    This time is ripe, but what Chelsea does not have for the time being, it is a mature football business platform.


    Mo said that digging Beckham is just a bold idea. Even if Beckham himself agrees, the entire brokerage team behind him will block Beckham from taking action. If he does that, Beckham¡¯s commercial value will shrink rapidly and dramatically. , When Millwall voted for the superstar, when Chelsea paid for the purchase, the first person to react instead of Millwall Club was a sponsor with whom they had a cooperative relationship. They would not be happy to have a commercial contract under their banner. Of the top stars ran to Stamford Bridge, at least, these international corporate sponsors would not allow it until Chelsea really became a giant.


    In England, if the management excludes the head coach in the plan to build the team, either the head coach is completely emptied, or the future of the head coach has become a foregone conclusion, and the latter is the situation of Eriksson.


    Mourinho became one of Europe''s hottest candidate coaches before leading his team to eliminate Manchester United and Lyon and about to start a fight with A Coru?a.


    At the time, Florentino was also chasing Mourinho, and although Chelsea''s coaching range included Mourinho, there were other candidates. For example, in April, in the VIP box at Stamford Bridge, Monaco coach De Both Shang and Ajax technical director Van Gaal sat there watching Chelsea''s game with Everton and took a group photo with Kenyon.


    Real Madrid chasing Mourinho is sincere, because Florentino met a strong opponent in the campaign, the rich lawyer from Barcelona Sabarino, he led a commercial consortium, including 18 influential Sabalino, a member of the royal family, put forward in his campaign program: "Beckham must go, and I will listen to his offer."


    Real Madrid''s poor performance this season makes Florentino have to bring fresh power to the team. Mourinho, who is in the limelight, is one of his candidates.


    Thanks to Real Madrid''s joining, Chelsea has become more interested in Mourinho and raised his attention. Naturally, Mourinho''s agent Mendes has long sleeves and good dance.


    So, in the midst of the Champions League semi-finals in full swing, Chelsea representatives and Mourinho''s agent Mendes held a secret meeting in Spain for seven hours!


    During the period, Porto submitted a paper complaint to FIFA, condemning Chelsea to extend his hand to Mourinho. FIFA is very embarrassed, seduce the players, they are very determined, but seduce the head coach, this is hard to say In the scope of their trial, because the transfer of players is clearly stipulated in the industry, and there is no "transfer" for the head coach. It is the same as the operation mode of many companies in the society. The boss is not satisfied, and the coach is fired. The coach thinks Let''s go, then change jobs, and the economic disputes in the middle are in accordance with the provisions of the contract. Chelsea is not bad at buying out the wealth of Mourinho''s contract.


    Before May, Mourinho reached an agreement with Chelsea. Chelsea only delayed Eriksson''s final trial until the final result of the Champions League front.


    Abu wanted Eriksson to leave, but if Eriksson really created a miracle and led Chelsea to win the Champions League, then it would be a very hasty decision to dismiss such a coach. There was a huge crack in the relationship between the fans.


    After Chelsea was eliminated from the Champions League by Millwall, Erickson¡¯s fate was finally decided, and there was no possibility of any other changes. The Chelsea locker room complained and criticized Erickson. , Yueran reported.


    The reason why Chelsea locked Mourinho in advance, in addition to Mourinho''s lack of pursuers, Real Madrid''s joining is an important factor in catalyzing this result, so Chelsea started first to avoid the dust of the season. Settled, the major players began to prepare for next season, coaching change, then, Mourinho will have more choices, I am afraid Chelsea won''t be too high.


    And Mourinho gave up going to Real Madrid, because he is not the most important one in Real Madrid¡¯s selection list. Chelsea¡¯s great sincerity impressed him and caused him to eliminate A Coruna. Can''t help but flutter. At the celebration of Porto''s two consecutive league championships, he directly invited his assistant and goalkeeper coach to go to Chelsea to teach. The news, since then, he has gone wild, and Porto began to look for Mulini O''s replacement, the ideal candidate is Real Madrid coach Quiros.


    This is why Fleet Street describes Audric and Mourinho as old enemies!


    Meeting in the Club Intercontinental Cup finals for two consecutive years can be called accidental, but the upcoming Champions League final is just the beginning!


    The beginning of the war!


    Next season, Mourinho will coach Chelsea.


    Chelsea and Millwall are deadly enemies.


    Mourinho and Aldridge will face each other in the Premier League.


    The prologue to this battle is the final of the Champions League. The climax will be in the future Premier League.


    When Aldridge met Mourinho again at the Schalke Stadium, the two of them shook hands to stop, then separated, and went to their respective coach seats.


    Mourinho is the same as last year, standing on the coach seat, one hand above the coach seat ceiling, he looks cold and sharp, while Audridge stands in front of the coach seat, heads solemn and solemn.


    One is for his first Champions League championship.


    One is for his fifth Champions League.


    The two have different starting points and different times of experience.


    At the point of time when this peak stage meets, the pursuit is even more different.


    Mourinho is pursuing "first".


    What Aldridge wants today is actually "third".


    Millwall has four Champions League trophy.


    If you win the cup today, Millwall will have five Champions League trophy.


    One less than AC Milan and Real Madrid.


    Will no longer be tied for third place with Liverpool Ajax, will be the third place in the history of the Champions League independently!


    In the last game of the tenth anniversary of coaching, many of Aldridge''s family and friends came to the scene, and the number of Millwall fans far exceeded the number of Porto fans coming to the scene!


    In 2004, it was a "Young Master" in modern football.


    Benitez finished two crowns in three years in La Liga.


    Ancelotti finished two of the most important championships in the UEFA Champions League in Serie A for two consecutive years.


    Deschamps was a blockbuster in Europe.


    The madman Mourinho took the European Second Division as a springboard to the world.


    The young coach Aldridge ten years ago has not stopped now, he is standing on top of the achievements of countless contemporary coaches.


    No one can understand his pursuit, or nobody dares to imagine.


    His footsteps have stepped into the long river of history, and in the spring and autumn traversal with countless football sages!


    Millwall was anonymous for a hundred years ago.


    Aldrich will now subvert the centuries-old accumulation of all European giants in his own time, the glory that generations and countless people have worked hard to create!


    It is with such a mind and a goal.


    Aldrich doesn''t care who his opponent is.


    Stop my dominator! Destroy it!

 Chapter 986： Slow and fast

    Today''s arrogant visit to Schalke Stadium, Millwall fans cheer very monotonously.


    More than 30,000 Millwall fans occupy nearly 2/3 of the seats in the stands.


    They are never used to sitting and watching the game. Even if the English stadium is ordered to be a seat after the release of the Taylor Report, they are still used to standing and enjoying the game.


    Before the start of the game, all Millwall fans stood up, the blue jerseys painted the stands as blue oceans, and even many Porto fans wore home jerseys, blue and white, and also communicated with Millwall fans in color embellishments. Ying Chenghui, unfortunately, Porto is wearing an away jersey today.


    Millwall fans stood in the stands, held up the club''s "Hall Age" 10th anniversary commemorative scarf, and sang the team song in unison.


    Although the method is monotonous, the scene is extremely shocking.


    This is an English fan culture, a feat that the fan groups around the world are competing to imitate.


    Players from both sides entered the stadium, the theme song of the Champions League echoed in the stadium, but it seemed unable to contend with the singing of Millwall fans.


    "The exciting Champions League final is about to start, and Millwall, who has steadily passed the group stage this season, has entered a state of soaring after entering the knockout, just as they achieved the last round of the league to reverse the momentum of Arsenal¡¯s championship, they doubled out and eliminated Bayern Munich, slaughtered Monaco and Chelsea in a big score, came to the Champions League final in a swagger! And their opponent Porto, under the leadership of Mourinho, made rapid progress and successfully defended in the Portuguese Super League. , And achieved a huge breakthrough in the Champions League this season, impressive, although in the group stage home defeat to Real Madrid 1:3, but then they gradually get better, 10 games remain undefeated, at Old Trafford German lore, Manchester United, Mourinho¡¯s wild celebration really makes people feel that the media now makes a lot of sense. Comparing him with Sir Hall, Mourinho may lack some luck. Last year¡¯s UEFA Cup Returning from hatred, Sir Hall has been playing in UEFA for ten years. If Mourinho¡¯s tenth anniversary of coaching, can his achievements compete with Sir Hall? 99% of fans think it is impossible Because Sir Hall has four Champions Leagues, Mourinho only led the team to win the finals today, maybe it is possible to compete with Sir Hall on the tenth anniversary of his coaching. Porto overall performed well, Eliminate Manchester United, Lyon, A Coru?a, these are opponents with higher gold content, this dark horse from Portugal, can it be black in the end? This is the biggest suspense in today''s game!"


    "The ceremony before the kickoff of the Champions League final has been completed, let''s take a look at the starting list of both sides.


    Millwall 433.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Nesta, Southgate, Ashley Cole.


    Midfielders: De Rossi, Alonso, Nedved.


    Forwards: Larson, Henry, Ronaldinho.


    Porto 433.


    Goalkeeper: Baia.


    Guards: Ferreira, Costa, Carvalho, Valente.


    Midfielders: Mendes, Costinha, Deco.


    Forwards: Alenichev, Delle, Maniche. "


    Although the commentator said that Porto called 433.


    In Aldridge''s eyes, Porto played 451.


    Because compared to Porto when they played last year, there has been a major change in the technical and tactical formation.


    That is to reduce one forward and one more midfielder.


    Mendes is a defensive midfielder who partnered Kostinia and escorted Deco in the middle.


    Maniche and Alenichev are naturally not wingers. If the wing forward may be slightly more accurate, at least today, they must be responsible for the main wing defensive tasks.


    On the front line, Mourinho did not choose center McCarthy, but used the Brazilian Delle, the striker erratic in the frontcourt, similar to the opportunistic striker, the most suitable counterattack.


    After the disastrous defeat of the past year, if Mourinho still has a tough fight with Millwall today, then Audric can really ignore Mourinho.


    In fact, Odric had already foreseen Porto¡¯s starting lineup today.


    In the past 6 knockout games, they have continued to use small means to gain the benefits of the game. Playing Porto, which is extremely utilitarian and anti-reverse, coming to the final will only be more utilitarian.


    It can be said that Mourinho''s tactical idea of ??going to Chelsea to build a **** blue army was naturally laid in this period. He cannot be an ideal pursuer now. After a week, he went to Chelsea and became utilitarian. Representatives.


    When the game started, the Porto formation quickly withdrew and compressed the backcourt space to form a close protection for the restricted area. Audric bowed his head and smiled.


    As expected.


    Mourinho came to fight back.


    As for how to fight back, it should be clear at a glance.


    Deco is the core of the offensive and defensive conversion, licensing forward.


    Maniche, Alenichev, Delle, these three are the offensive response point, as long as there is a huge free space, Porto''s fatal counterattack will come suddenly.


    Aldrich will never ignore Deco, nor will he despise him because Ronaldinho has covered up all the light even if he went to Barcelona in the original history, because the comparison of the fans is incorrect.


    Robbie Jr. is stronger and undisputed.


    But Ronaldinho did not defend Deco. When Deco attacked, the defense line constructed by Millwall''s defensive players had to be penetrated.


    What is the sign that Millwall¡¯s third-generation mad lion is beginning to mature?


    That is to control the field!


    Let the opponent not be able to counterattack the threat.


    How do i do this?


    Compress opponent formations!


    Today is the final. Millwall did not chase and fight fiercely as soon as he came up. Instead, he passed the game steadily to enter the game, and then passed through the midfield. The formation gradually pressed forward. In this process, Alonso is the most critical. .


    He is a key figure in the midfield transmission command. When he risks a wave of threatening attacks, he needs to observe the situation on the field.


    A good commander will find the opponent''s vacancy, and then quickly attack the opponent''s weak defense.


    However, more mature, master-level organizers and commanders with field control ability will look at the overall situation, take one step and see three steps, anticipate the defensive dangers that this offensive failure may bring, and weigh the pros and cons in an instant.


    If Porto¡¯s formation is not extremely compressed, then Millwall¡¯s offensive attack is not successful, they may tear Milwall¡¯s defense by a quick counterattack to form a threat offensive.


    However, if the overall formation is compressed in the midfield and backcourt, the counter-attack distance will become longer. Whether it is a pass-cut cooperation or a personal breakthrough, this counter-attack process will give Millwall more time to lay out the defense line and adjust the defensive center of gravity. Wait.


    Pirlo is a master commander, not only can control the overall situation, but also directly instigate the most threatening offensive.


    Alonso is inferior to Pirlo in this respect. Aldridge cultivated Alonso this season, focusing on the overall situation. In terms of instigating the offense, as long as Alonso can serve as an "indirect assist", the attack launch point The role is enough, that is to say, he may take into account the overall situation and find that he can ensure that the opponent¡¯s counterattack threat is minimized, but it is already difficult to find empty space, then his task is only to hand the ball to the area with relatively less defensive pressure , Choose one of the three directions from the left, right, and then, the offensive broke out, handed over to Ronaldinho, Nedved, or Larson to initiate, or even two full-backs.


    The main contribution of Alonso''s midfield and backcourt commander is overall stability!


    Even if Millwall is unable to attack, he is not worried about being counterattacked, because when Alonso controls the rhythm, he is gradually consuming the opponent and compressing the opponent''s formation to the second half to ensure that Millwall will not be beaten. Unprepared, the defensive player turned his head back quickly but failed to catch up.


    Mourinho stood calmly beside the coach seat, but he was not calm at all.


    The game, 10 minutes passed.


    Porto, only launched three attacks and then died!


    The overall formation was completely compressed in the second half.


    Millwall''s defensive strategy is similar to last year. In the middle of the road, Deco is mainly targeted. When being counterattacked, Ronaldinho and Larson harassed Porto''s two wingers on the inside because the ball did not leave the dangerous zone. There is no answerer in the middle and can only be brought forward, but it is only brought to the half. This really fell into the situation of the lonely and oligarchs. Ashley Cole and Schneider did not fail to defend, and Porto weakened. The striker, De Rossi courageously defended the wing, Alonso and Nedved contained the midfield back and forth, Porto''s counterattack, when the forward attack erupted, it seemed that he had kicked an iron plate and looked at the very wide Offensive space, but Millwall will not give them much time to choose. Before the players who come up in the backcourt are in place, they must make a choice, pass, break, break, fail, guard the ball and be destroyed.


    Mourinho couldn''t help but glanced at Audric, without any traces of movement, even without twisting his neck, just squinting in the afterglow of observation, subconsciously.


    The young coach who coached the tenth anniversary of the mad lion has also created a stunning super first-class strong team!


    He thought that Millwall would play very fast today and use poor rhythm to destroy Porto.


    But he guessed wrong.


    If the blitzkrieg blitz beats really, Porto¡¯s counterattack will have a lot of room to play.


    Always fast means high turnover rate.


    This is the same reason that short pass is more stable than long pass.


    Millwall will be fast, but first is slow!


    Slowness is their foundation, their fence, and the protection against enemy invasion.


    The midfield and backcourt system headed by Alonso is the main core of the slow. They pass the control to make the foundation of the situation on the ground change.


    Shaped a situation that Millwall could accelerate.


    Then let the frontcourt players or the wing players accelerate, and it is not difficult to change the rhythm of one slow and one fast. The difficulty is that slow and fast can maximize the benefits of the team''s game!


    Aldridge seems to be the fusion of cold water and hot flames on the third generation of mad lions.


    Midfield and backcourt defense is the sea water, to quench the opponent''s offensive flame.


    The offensive flame in the frontcourt is to melt the opponent''s defensive walls!


    Mourinho has been thinking for a long time, he does not know how to make the team better offense, dare to move to pursue the offense, maybe the defense will expose a huge empty.


    Longitudinal comparison. Is Porto now stronger than Arsenal?


    of course not!


    Whether it''s team chemistry, or individual player comparisons.


    Can their midfielders be compared to the combination of Vieira and Silva?


    Can their offensive combination compare with Ibrahimovic and Bergkamp?


    Perhaps the defender line can be compared with Arsenal''s defender line, including goalkeeper Baia.


    But they have to defend more extremely than Arsenal and compress the backcourt space more utilitarianly. At the same time, they also have small moves to prevent Millwall from accelerating the offensive in the frontcourt. They all use their extremely concealed means to bring them A certain improvement in defensive quality.


    This made the scene seem that Millwall, although he dominated the situation, had difficulty opening gaps in their defense.


    Millwall seems to be in a melee fight!


    The battlefield is in Porto''s half.


    Nedv¨§d accelerates the ball diagonally, and Deco raises his arm slightly behind him and pulls the hem of Nedv¨§d¡¯s jersey for two seconds before letting go.


    Ronaldinho just turned the ball on the wing, and Alenichev went directly to the gap between Ronaldinho''s ball combination, not the ball, he was faster than Ronaldinho''s foot, not the rusher, he would definitely fly, he It is the point between the ball and the ball, so that when Ronaldinho moves, he will collide with Alenichev, and then Ronaldinho will be entangled with him.


    When Larsen runs inside, Valent will not let out the outside. He defends the inside. As long as Larson can''t completely throw him away, Valent will definitely use a small angle in an angle that the referee cannot see. Raising his arms in front of Larson prevented him from starting an accelerated outbreak.


    Henry was even fouled after throwing off Carvalho''s running position and receiving the ball. The referee signaled Henry to hit Carvalho with his arm.


    At that time, Carvalho first defended Henry with a half-hugging action. Henry got rid of his entanglement. His arm seemed to be free of the opponent''s hands, but Carvalho fell to the ground after Henry got rid of...


    Aldridge looked at it, and suddenly walked to the fourth official, said: "Hello, did UEFA receive complaints from Manchester United, Lyon and A Coru?a? Or, the official UEFA press release Will it be useless, don¡¯t care what the coach said? If so, I will apply to stop attending the UEFA press conference in the future, it is a waste of time, Porto is playing you, you can¡¯t see it? I need to remind you One thing is that Millwall is the team with the best court discipline in the European competition in the past three seasons. We have the fewest fouls per game and the lowest card rate, which means that we are just and serious in following the spirit of competitive sports. Let us be disappointed, even angry."


    The fourth official turned his head to look at Aldridge and found that the young master smiled at him, which was originally quite stressful, and it was easier to take a deep breath.


    At this time, Mourinho also came over.

 Chapter 987： The goal is valid!

    Porto¡¯s small actions caused great dissatisfaction with the fans of the Lions, especially when some concealed fouls were not punished, or even if the referee did not draw the cards, the Lions fans in the stands would explode. sound.


    When Aldrich complained to the fourth official, Mourinho came over. He attracted Aldrich''s attention and turned his head to see that the right index finger of the madman in a suit and leather suit was standing in front of his mouth. The meaning was obvious: Aldrich, you **** shut up!


    Or, there might be a subtext, to shut up Millwall fans in the stands!


    Aldridge smiled and turned back to his place.


    He disdain to argue with Mourinho on the sidelines.


    Oporto''s utilitarian style, he doesn''t criticize. Porto''s small moves have frequently appeared in the Champions League in the past. When Ferguson fired, when Irueta complained, Audridge did not comment, and he did not apply this aspect to UEFA before the game. Pressure.


    However, I do not criticize, does not mean that I agree that you can do so!


    Moreover, there is a head-on conflict with Mourinho, Audric feels very bad!


    Absolutely losing money!


    He is a nail in the eyes of his peers and a stepping stone.


    Conflict with Mourinho, no matter who wins or loses words, will bring Mourinho more popularity, Mourinho earns no loss.


    Why?


    Because there are always a lot of people in the world who are not happy to think that a wealthy family like Aldridge can achieve the ideal person''s continued success.


    Whoever plugs Aldridge, who can make Aldridge deflate, and those who expect Aldridge to grow up will turn to support them.


    Mourinho''s own reckless style also meets the idol standards of many people.


    To be a man, you should be crazy! No one is there! It should be the first posture of the world!


    Therefore, many coaches with moderate personality, neither love the media, nor win the support of fans, lacking the sharp and prominent characteristics.


    Aldridge was also crazy before. Now, he is a senior in the industry. He has been coaching for ten years. Every day, he shouts and kills people, fearing that others do not know how good they are. This is boring.


    He will have an outbreak, but he will not always be sharp-minded, but he is restrained, but he is afraid of all European counterparts. At the same time, it is also worshipped by many people. This is already strong to a certain level, standing on a certain level. Highly, nothing can bring an atmosphere of deterrence without doing anything.


    Mourinho dropped his hand, and Audric turned around and walked away. It was not like the defeat of the confrontation, it was more like ignoring him. Especially the faint smile was extremely dazzling in Mourinho''s eyes.


    He stood beside the fourth official and said indifferently: "Don¡¯t care what the man said, he is like a lawless bureaucrat, and he always hopes that others will come to serve him. Your work is so good so far, don¡¯t let that person Has affected your work."


    Mourinho finished and walked away.


    This madman with a wife of psychology professor is naturally a master of psychological warfare.


    As soon as Aldridge came under pressure, he stepped up to relieve pressure and described Aldrich as a wicked man. The timing was quite appropriate.


    The poor fourth official''s back was cold, and his hair was standing upside down. He always felt that today''s pressure is increasing.


    Mourinho returned to the coach''s seat, Porto is really very useful to play this way, but there is no way, the overall strength is different from others, is it sitting still?


    The most intuitive comparison is that Millwall has three Mr. Golden Balls, starting the majority of world-class players, while Porto side, there is not even a world-class player recognized by the outside world at this stage.


    Millwall''s defense is very stable, and there has never been a panic. The situation stems from their organization of attack, ensuring that they will not be threatened by Porto.


    Mourinho gave up the idea of ??taking the initiative to make changes, the weak team, it is necessary to be more passive, and then stop.


    Wait for the strong team to make mistakes!


    Porto is constantly testing Millwall''s bottom line. This is not like a purely competitive confrontation, but more like a psychological confrontation.


    When Millwall was irritated, even if only one or two players lost their minds and their mentality was unbalanced, the opportunity for Porto came!


    Mourinho, who looked calm and quiet, repeated in his heart: Hold, hold, they will make mistakes, they will make mistakes!


    In this expectation, his eyes became extremely sharp and sharp.


    He has full confidence in his team!


    Aldrich naturally burst into confidence for his disciples.


    After Millwall was constantly harassed by Porto when he was defending, they would protest to the referee, but they wouldn''t complain about it in a big way.


    Under the influence of Aldrich''s teaching, they have already developed a mentality to calmly face difficulties when facing them.


    If Millwall''s offensive players focus on dribbling, they will be bound by the Porto players'' hands and feet.


    As a result, the offensive players in the frontcourt began to speed up, and use faster frequency to catch the ball to avoid physical infringement by Porto players.


    Alonso also boldly stepped forward to participate in the frontcourt pass cooperation under the gesture of Aldridge, becoming a stable response point.


    Alonso¡¯s position can be pushed up, but his range of activity changes according to Deco¡¯s position.


    As long as Millwall is counterattacked, Alonso can defend Deco head-on, he can go up and participate in the offense, pay attention to keeping distance with Deco, limit Deco¡¯s role in the counterattack, and cut off the contact between teammates and Deco. .


    Millwall speeded up the pass and quickly got a good chance. After continuous passes in the frontcourt, Porto had to use more conspicuous fouls to contain Millwall.


    Ronaldinho passed the ball that Nedvide passed to him from the left in the frontcourt and directly returned it to Alonso, who was further back. When the ball left his foot, he was kicked to the ground by Ferreira. The referee motioned for a foul. Ronaldinho sat on the floor and sorted out his hairstyle...


    His movement of arranging his hair looks casual, and it seems to take a long time, which is very confusing.


    But when he sorted out his hair and stood up, Alonso also kicked the ball to Ronaldinho¡¯s feet. Ronaldinho just got up and didn¡¯t care that Deco stood in front of the ball to stop him from sending fast, and moved the ball implicitly in place. After rubbing, the ball went out of an arc, and it fell like a pick pass into the front penalty area, and the ball flew over from the right side of Deco''s chest height.


    At the same time, Nedved took advantage of Porto''s defensive line, and did not expect Ronaldinho to take the ball directly out of the way when Deco blocked. They looked a little flustered. When Nedved entered the penalty area, they Anxiously signaled to the referee offside.


    However, the flag of the borderline was not raised.


    Nedved directly chose the volley when the angle was relatively small. The ball after the bounce was kicked by his foot towards the goal. Baia reached out unconsciously to block the ball. The ball hit the shoulder and refracted upward. Hitting under the beam and rebounding out of the goal line, Baia quickly hugged the ball in a panic.


    "Wow, Millwall missed a good chance to break the goal, bad luck, Ronaldinho made a free kick, Nedved counter-offside shot in the penalty area, the ball was refracted on Baia, almost flying Entering the goal, Porto escaped!"


    The ball shocked Mourinho in a cold sweat.


    He swallowed and kept calm.


    The counterattack opportunity that Porto hopes to obtain has not appeared. They have always been suppressed by Millwall to the extreme in order to obtain the opportunity to attack. However, rushing forward, Millwall¡¯s overall defense is very tight. Simply put, Millwall It is the use of front-court offensive force to suppress the whole opponent.


    Henry was depressed in this game.


    When Millwall attacked, Porto¡¯s defender was like a dog skin plaster on his side, and various small actions were distracting his attention. Once he completely got rid of the opponent, on average 3 times, there was 1 time when the opponent must have a player down. Ground, and then, if he went to defend against harassment, his usual action would cause the opponent to exaggerate and scream.


    The game took 30 minutes, Porto did not shoot once, Millwall had 7 times, but none of them had a particularly good opportunity. When necessary, Porto had a row of people on the small penalty area line...


    Taking advantage of Porto''s unsuccessful counterattack, Nesta passed the ball back to goalkeeper Bout, Porto striker Del Lay did not step forward and harassed, honestly retreated directly to the midfield, Ronaldinho knew that the team would pass in the midfield After a while of the ball, he let Henry run out. When Henry trot to Ronaldinho two meters, Ronaldinho distracted him and said a few words briefly. Henry turned his eyes and nodded.


    Henry withdrew, almost conflicting with Nedved''s position, no one on the front line, Porto''s rear line would have to push forward slightly, but he did not dare to go too far.


    In the 36th minute, Nedvide was kicked to the ground by Mendes in the midfield. The referee punished Mendes for a foul. Nedvide stood up without looking at the opponent.


    Ronaldinho trot to prepare for the free kick.


    Henry wind rushes forward in general!


    He directly rushed through the gap between Carvalho and Valent.


    Carvalho and Valent were flabbergasted and chased Henry to run into the penalty area, but they were definitely not as fast as Henry. Seeing that Henry ran into the offside trap, and Millwall''s free kick has not yet been taken, they both He quickly stopped and pushed forward to make the back line parallel while keeping Henry offside.


    Where Henry is located is the right rib of the penalty area, offside two positions.


    Seeing this picture, Aldridge smiled, and Mourinho frowned, his heart beating like thunder, and an ominous hunch came to his mind.


    Henry, a world-class striker!


    He cannot be such a habit of running.


    He must be using the explosive force to reach the goal of anti-offside success while pressing the back line and waiting for the passing of his teammates!


    Now this running position looks a little amateur.


    By the way, Millwall passed the ball at this time.


    Ronaldinho made a diagonal pass. The scalpel-like straight plug directly penetrated Porto''s defender line. The direction of the ball rolling was exactly where Henry just ran.


    But at the moment when the ball passed, Henry ran to the left in parallel, but the distance from the ball became farther and farther away!


    The Porto defenders raised their hands to signal Henry offside, but the lineman was running towards the bottom line, there was no trend to raise the flag, and the direction of the lineman''s running, the route of position shift, in the field, there was a blue figure wind Usually enter the restricted area, obliquely cut into the ribs in the restricted area free!


    Larson!


    He will never offside!


    The Porto defenders seemed silly.


    Seeing that the lineman did not raise the flag, Larson received the ball in the penalty area. They quickly rushed to Larson and tried to return to the small penalty area to block the door!


    However, everything is late!


    Larsson didn''t stop the ball at all, the moment he touched the ball, he passed the ball across.


    Henry, who was depressed for more than 30 minutes, was extremely relaxed at this moment!


    He didn''t stop the ball. When Costa and Carvalho were two steps away from him, he greeted the ball and pushed it lightly with his arch at a position closer to the goal than the penalty spot. The ball flew towards the goal The lower right corner!


    When Baia made a save, the ball had already crossed the goal line.


    The Porto crowd will be thundered by the clear weather, turning their heads to look at the referee, but seeing the referee reaching for the middle circle.


    The goal is valid!

 Chapter 988： To shut up!

    Arriving at the Schalke Stadium, cheering and thundering, the mad lion fans waving their scarves frantically, all Millwalls are now calm, and they also disdain Porto!


    How about doing those little moves with all my effort?


    Haven''t we scored yet?


    "Millwall finally blew the port of Porto! Ronaldinho not only seized the opportunity to serve a free kick, but also passed a scalpel-like straight plug, the ball penetrated the Porto defense line, Straight into the right side of the penalty area, the ribs are empty! Porto players are confused by Henry''s running position! Judging from the moment Ronaldinho passed the ball, this ball is aimed at Henry''s pass, then Henry is in an offside state This is undoubtedly an offside ball. However, in the process of rolling the ball, Henry ran away. His departure intuitively told everyone that this pass has nothing to do with him. He is not involved in this attack! He Passive offside! Millwall skillfully used the offside rule changes. Porto players were waiting for the referee to give a free kick to them, so they relaxed their vigilance and they only reacted when Larsson entered the penalty area. Lent didn''t keep up with Larson, Henry was also unmarked in front of the door. Larson''s assists, Henry''s goal, it was as easy as training!"


    Henry ran back to the corner banner area, his face full of surprises and happiness, his right finger pointed at Ronaldinho, his left finger pointed at Larson, and beckoned to them.


    Damn, you come here quickly!


    This ball must be celebrated by everyone!


    Ronaldinho burst into laughter and rushed in front of Henry. He seemed to want Henry to jump together for a samba. Larson ran with Nedved after a high-five. They just got together and Alonso jumped up from behind. After Nedved''s back, De Rossi screamed and ran...


    The Porto players were divided into two sets, one of which went to the referee to complain, and the other set surrounded the referee to protest, swearing to complain that Millwall was sneaking! Is opportunistic! Is stealing the victory of the game!


    On the sidelines, Mourinho, who had been calm and cold before the game, exploded!


    He roared excitedly at the head referee, but he did not run into the field, so he could only roar at the fourth official.


    He was like a warrior on the battlefield where the swordsmen and soldiers met each other in a line of life and death.


    "Henry was offside! He interfered with the game! It interfered with my player''s judgment! It should be an offside! No Larsson assists behind, no Henry behind! Your level of law enforcement is simply shit! How can you enforce this? A crucial game? Fuck! You are helping Milwall to exploit Porto! You are simply the accomplices of football class A war criminals!"


    The fourth official''s face was as black as carbon, avoiding Mourinho''s criticism, turning his head and whispering to the microphone to whisper Mourinho''s words and deeds to the referee.


    At this moment, Aldridge turned to look at Mourinho, who was furious, raised his right hand, raised his index finger, and slowly put it in front of his mouth, then shook his head with a smile!


    Jose Mourinho!


    It''s your **** shut up to Lao Tzu!


    After doing this, Aldridge turned his head and continued to look at the stadium, just to see the opposite corner of the flag, Millwall celebrated the end of the players collectively raised Aldrich''s right hand gesture to give a thumbs gesture.


    That used to be Ronaldinho''s exclusive action, but now, it has become a regular gesture for Aldrich''s disciples to communicate or communicate with him in the game.


    Aldridge immediately gave them a thumbs up, and left and right hands.


    Mourinho''s blood was turbulent, and he was stimulated by Aldridge in a moment. He first felt that Porto had been treated unfairly, and Odric seized the opportunity to fight back. He walked to Milwall''s coach seat. After two steps, he yelled angrily: "Aldrich Hall! You are not ashamed, but rather proud? What are your players doing? They are playing shamelessly!"


    When Mourinho protested before, Porto assistant, his assistant and some other coaches also came behind Mourinho.


    It seems that he is quite "many people".


    Audric heard Mourinho¡¯s attack and condensed his smile. When he turned to face Mourinho again, Millwall came off the bench and the players all stood up and came the first time. Around Aldridge, Millwall seemed more powerful in no time.


    Aldridge showed a terrible color, his eyes sharply and coldly looked at Mourinho, and responded sharply: "You really treat me as a gentleman? The rules are not made by me. You should find FIFA to talk about you. I didn¡¯t ask my players to go beyond the technical skills of football to play, and I didn¡¯t direct the Porto players to stand up and raise their hands at that moment to tell the referee what to do. My player It¡¯s a beautiful goal. Why can¡¯t I be proud? Why can¡¯t I be proud of them? Mourinho, you **** tell me, what should I shame? Madman? You only get crazy when you win Really? Now, let me teach you how to face failure!"


    Mourinho''s face was green, and the coach next to him took another step forward. On the Millwall side, there were three players immediately, Neil, Pedroti, Villa, and two coaches. Jenson and Craig, the five of them also took a step forward. At the same time, Jenson and Craig raised their arms at the same time and pointed at each other warningly!


    Dare to come?


    Who is afraid of who? !


    The referee ran over. In order to get rid of the Porto player''s entanglement, he first showed a yellow card to the most angry Mendes, then went to the referee, showed a yellow card to Carvalho, and finally came to the sidelines In the coaching district, through the fourth official''s report, he did not hesitate to warn Mourinho. Mourinho also tried to say something, but the referee directly gave him an ultimatum: If you talk too much, you will Was sent off!


    Mourinho quickly calmed down, and the Porto coach who had clearly crossed the border was directly expelled from the field by the referee.


    When the referee left, he only exchanged two sentences with Audridge.


    To outsiders, it seems that Aldridge really has the suspicion of "buying the referee", because the picture of the two hurrying conversations does not seem to have a tense and serious atmosphere, like an ordinary greeting.


    In fact, the head referee just allowed Odric to restrain his emotions and not add to the chaotic elements of the game.


    To put it plainly, the subtext is: The one next door is noisy, don''t pay attention to him, it''s really troublesome, you will also have trouble!


    The storm and dust on the sidelines settled.


    Mourinho walked back to the coach seat and recovered his coldness again, but at this time the expression looked slightly obscure. The hand on the roof of the coach seat was fisted, and a detail was captured by the live broadcast. He Fist hit the ceiling with a fist.


    He knows better than anyone else that this game of Porto is dangerous!


    Without making a mistake, Millwall, Porto has little chance of winning.


    After all, they are not first-class players in the middle class.


    Paper strength and Millwall cannot compete.


    Essentially, weak resistance.


    In such a game, the watershed is the "first ball"!


    To maintain a draw, perhaps the game''s victory or defeat is 37 open, the more time later, the probability of Porto''s victory will slowly increase, but there will not be a substantial increase.


    If the weak team advances the ball, the game may turn out to be 64. Porto will dominate, but it will not overwhelmingly dominate.


    If you concede the ball first, the probability of winning or losing the game will turn sharply from 37 to less than 19!


    Why?


    Even if football is regarded as a statistic, the giants will lose and play a very bad game.


    However, how many games did the giants advanced the ball and were eventually defeated? People may remember a lot of classic games that have been reversed, but ignore the less than 10 games that may have appeared in 100 games.


    In particular, considering that China is in the position today, neither team has more external factors to support it!


    Mourinho knows that as the game time goes on and keeps a draw, Porto can slowly draw close to the same probability of winning as Millwall, and then wait for the other party to make mistakes and seize the precious opportunity.


    However, Porto has lost the ball now.


    A ball, just a ball, is a huge change that has fundamentally reversed the overall situation!


    This lost goal also cost Porto two yellow cards for the midfielder and defender!


    Another point, maybe Mourinho himself is unwilling to admit, but this factor has a very significant impact on the game!


    No matter how pretentious Mourinho is before the Champions League final, how to affect Chelsea and flutter, his seriousness and pragmatism towards the game will not change.


    So in order to limit Millwall, he studied many games of Millwall, league, UEFA Champions League, many, many.


    Organize and summarize all the key points of Millwall and the key offensive changes, and then specify the combat plan.


    Before the goal was conceded, everything seemed to succeed, even if Porto was crushed badly, but the situation did not exceed Mourinho''s expectations.


    Only that goal!


    Millwall used the change of offside rule to hit a new tactical routine in an instant, which was very deadly!


    Because the test is not the technical ability, but the defensive player''s ability to judge the reaction of the overall situation. This ability is invisible and happens in a flash!


    The ball just now, except for the referee punishing Henry offside, there is almost no remedy!


    Unless Valent clings to Larson in the absolute sense, even if Carvalho and Costa did not reach out and rushed into the penalty area, but Larson¡¯s point, if no one restricts, the defender If the front waistline cannot be withdrawn at the first time, Henry will be frozen, but Nedved followed immediately after it will form the most threatening point in the penalty area!


    That is to say, within an instant, Porto not only must judge that Millwall is using passive offside to confuse his sight, but also must insert the second offensive point after the prevention. In the end, at least the back waistline and the defender line also To keep the overall coordination of tacit defense movement!


    These three points are combined, and Porto is expected to adjust completely after being caught flat-footed.


    Mourinho knew it was impossible!

 Chapter 989： Pandoras box

    Millwall''s set of offensive tactics was conducted after the New Year, that is, five months ago. It was not the focus of the training. Only one or two training sessions were deliberately emphasized each week.


    Those who haven¡¯t visited Millwall for a big period of training can¡¯t understand how Aldridge is inspiring talented players and strengthening the team¡¯s defense.


    He will let the defensive players put on a variety of unimaginable solid defensive systems. The number of defensive players can be more than the number of offenses. The defensive players can put on the bus. The defensive players can even become free men when the physical strength is dominant. A key offensive player.


    His training is disordered. This disorder refers to routines. No matter if offensive or defensive, he will not draw a line for players to copy and practice. Such rigid training is not only useless, but also outdated.


    So even if his disciples, especially talented and offensive players, they will feel that training under Audridge is tested by hell, but they will never feel boring, there will always be new problems waiting, testing, tempering And inspire them!


    In the same way, hone defensive players can also do the opposite.


    Using "passive offside", Millwall already had this offensive ability. Unlike the emergence of this rule, many controversial penalties occurred accidentally, not by the attacking party. Millwall could turn it into a means of attacking himself. .


    It''s just that in the Premier League, before the Champions League, they rarely encountered such occasions to use. To put it bluntly, there is no team that can completely limit their goals!


    It was only when he was forced to lose patience by his opponent today that Ronaldinho had a whimsy and just tried his luck.


    Because Ronaldinho found a key point.


    It is possible that Aldrich has not taken the initiative to take advantage of this in his eyes, but Mourinho did not consider the factors when deploying before the game.


    That''s Porto''s defender line. Most of the time it is adjusted based on defensive pressure, and the magnitude of this pressure is not large.


    Strictly speaking, Mourinho is not a representative coach of "swinging a bus". He is a pragmatist and a utilitarian, but this does not mean a bus!


    Now Porto, utilitarian, practical, and defensive, has not yet reached the realm of a bus.


    His defensive philosophy is actually very similar to Millwall.


    The Italian chain defense is the core, but the defense zone is not fixed in the 35 yard area in front of the door.


    And to put the bus, his offensive players must be further reduced!


    The reason is very simple, not every attack, you can definitely make it!


    Not every attack, your attacking player can go back to defend faster than the opponent''s counterattack advancement!


    If you kill 4 players in an attack, and the opponent counterattacks, there are only 6 players in the backcourt, how to put the bus?


    In Porto today, it is Deco, Delle, Maniche, and Alenichev who must move forward in the counterattack. They will not rely on one player or two players to try to knock on the city of Millwall. door.


    So Mourinho¡¯s team is not a bus. In Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, there may be so many games that use extreme defense, it seems to be a bus, but, you can not use a few games to determine the coach Fixed style, that is out of context, too one-sided.


    Or in contrast, when Di Matteo coached Chelsea and led Chelsea to win the Champions League, it was a complete swing, because there was only one forward in front, and almost all of the backcourt defenses shrank into the penalty area. When there was an offensive opportunity, almost There are no Chelsea players rushing up to the frontcourt, but when Mourinho coaches Chelsea or Inter Milan, at least 3-4 players, 4231 or 433 formations can be seen when attacking. The players in front must rush up Not to mention that it would make Maicon a world-class full-back at the time. With a real swing, the full-back is not assisting.


    The irony is that the "swing bus" in football has become a buzzword, it comes from Mourinho''s own mouth.


    What is more ironic is that in the next ten years, Mourinho''s team is extremely miserable when it is suppressed by opponents, and fans will use a bus to mock him.


    Just like Porto today.


    It''s not that they want to put the bus, it''s Mourinho who instilled in the team the idea of ??defense.


    They can''t control the midfield. Do midfield players continue to be played like monkeys, wasting their physical fitness and rushing back and forth?


    It''s not that they don''t want to grab, the defender line is afraid of being exposed on the back, and the midfielders can''t grab the ball, then they can only back up!


    Everything is forced!


    It is hard to say what caused this phenomenon. The first is Mourinho¡¯s own football concept. His style does not pursue transmission and control, so no matter which giant he coaches, the team he builds is in the midfield. The most important point is that in the combination of players, you will see a clear style match, but you will not find any combination that completely uses the control to drive the entire team to oppress. He wants efficiency, not scenes. The second is the continual European style of football concept. In the sublimation and progress of the sublimation, the importance of transmission and control is abrupt, and the self-contained school is moving towards the peak. When the power of this successful football style erupts, the scene suppression is extremely effective. Mourinho It¡¯s not a god. The team he built is not an absolute king. After the phenomenon of suppression, the suppressing party has little luck and can¡¯t break the door, and the suppressed party cannot attack successfully. The scene seems to naturally become a certain party. Swing the bus.


    Now Porto is not a bus, so they will not statically have at least 7 people shrink to defend in the 35-yard danger zone in front of the door, relying on one or two people to sneak forward.


    And their defense is to adjust the movement according to the strength of the threat. When an opponent oppresses them, they retreat, and the opponent withdraws, and they push outward to ensure that the opponent''s frontal impact space is locked tightly in the restricted area.


    This feature is what Ronaldinho believes is absolutely usable.


    Henry retreated, attracting the opponent''s backline slightly, creating enough depth behind them.


    Then Henry rushed forward and the opposing defender line also retreated, but Henry was faster, but Henry was offside, the opposing defender line would immediately stop, and to ensure that there was no problem to create an offside trap, move forward again, this is it. The poor rhythm is the best environment for Millwall to use "passive offside"!


    Millwall used "passive offside" to rewrite the score on the field, like opening a Pandora''s box, which brought disaster to Porto.


    Their guard line started to be chaotic, which originated from suspicious.


    God knows that the next time Henry runs offside, will he copy the same goal?


    Henry''s movement is more threatening. This threat is very intuitive. In order to ensure that the opponent will no longer penetrate the defense line in the same way, Porto''s defender line begins to retreat deeper!


    Don''t dare to create offside!


    Invisiblely, Millwall''s offensive space in front of the penalty area is expanded!


    When Mourinho thought about how to equalize the score, the bad news came!


    In the 43rd minute, Henry rushed to the offside position again without even looking back. It seemed that he didn''t care where his teammates were behind him, where the ball was, and how Millwall''s offense was developing.


    Carvalho and Costa retreat to block Henry''s lateral translation of the space in front of the goal. Valent and Ferreira also retreat. At the same time, Nedved ran to the right and forward from the front waistline and took away Costinha.


    Alonso crossed the ball to the right in front of Deco, Schneider came up and then passed back diagonally to the front of the middle.


    If it was two seconds ago, there should be Nedved, but now, Nedved and Costinha have run away.


    Mendes guarded here.


    Ronaldinho flew Alenichev from the left and headed towards the middle of the road. Ferreira looked anxious. Ronaldinho was farther and farther away from him. He could only collect in the penalty area, but it seemed impossible. Block Ronaldinho, unless he shifts to the left back.


    Ronaldinho touched the ball in front of Mendes, paused, and turned to accelerate. Mendes was wiped out directly. Mendes pulled Ronaldinho''s arm by Ronaldinho without hesitation. As for Mendes, he fell The ground signaled Ronaldinho hit his face, the referee said nothing.


    The hot-eyed head referee happened to be very close to the place where the incident occurred. If a penalty is to be imposed, Mendes should also be fined.


    Since Mendes already has a yellow card, the second yellow card must be more cautious.


    Now Millwall continued to attack without being affected, Mendes fell to the ground, the referee treated as a two-phase offset, and waited for the offense to warn Mendes again.


    Costinha gave up Nedved and defended Ronaldinho, but his body''s center of gravity was slow. Ronaldinho turned away again and drew him away. Costinia flew behind and Ronaldinho was tripped. After a while, Ronaldinho staggered after three steps to stabilize his body''s center of gravity and continue to take the ball forward!


    He had already rushed at full speed, was pulled by Mendes, was tackled by Costinia''s side and rear, and Ronaldinho''s speed dropped again, but he could dribble the ball more smoothly.


    At this time, Nedved continued to rush to the restricted area, and it was the middle of the road!


    Henry moved left to impact the left rib.


    Larson inwardly impacted the right rib from the other side!


    Send in three lines!


    The four defenders of Porto have their hearts broken, and they all have Millwall offensive players around them, all famous, and that is three Mr. Golden Ball!


    They seemed to have a sudden brain crash, and no one dared to rush out to stop Ronaldinho!


    Ronaldinho slowly brought the ball into the penalty area, no one was around.


    He got up!


    At the moment when he kicked his feet, he could see how well his teammates cooperated with him!


    Henry retreated one step in front of Costa.


    Nedved retreated in front of Carvalho.


    Larson shook away in front of Valent!


    This not only blocked the opponent''s interference with Ronaldinho, but also expanded Ronaldinho''s shooting angle!


    Ronaldinho made a heavy shot and the ball flew from between Carvalho and Valent. The ball trajectory bottomed up and went straight to the top right corner of the goal!


    At a distance of about 15 yards, no one interfered, Ronaldinho shot fully, and the angle selection was also safe. This ball slammed into Porto''s goal without suspense!


    "Ronaldinho! Ronaldinho! An unparalleled Brazilian! He drove the ball through the opponent''s midfielder. Mendes and Costinia did their best to stop him, but neither succeeded. Finally, he sent the ball into Porto¡¯s door with an amazing shot! Millwall leads Porto 2:0! 2:0! Porto has almost no chance! Want to reverse Millwall, is it possible? Haven¡¯t been in the passive Porto since the start of the game, people can¡¯t see any hope! They are so pitiful, last year and this year, they encountered a strong Millwall in the Intercontinental Cup finals for two consecutive years. Porto is stronger than last year, but , Millwall is a hundred times stronger than last year!"


    The goal was like a heavy punch on Mourinho''s heart. He looked at Ronaldinho, who was held by the stars on the other side of the stadium, his lips flicked and didn''t know what to say, and then hit a punch on the top of the coach seat.


    Champions League final!


    European Championship Cup!


    Gone!

 Chapter 990： No solution!

    Except for the time when the controversial Italian pure-chain defensive football style prevailed, there is no team in contemporary UEFA that really suppresses its opponents in a strong confrontation and must "passively" put the bus.


    On the one hand, FIFA is constantly revising the rules to encourage offense.


    On the other hand, it is the marketization of football. If you want to expand the fan base, a group that can bring income and benefits to the club, then the negative football concept will certainly not achieve this goal for the club, such as around 90 Arsenal of Graham, Arsenal of Graham''s record is very brilliant, but their game is so boring as the "library", even Highbury''s attendance is extremely bleak, because even diehard fans It''s hard to tolerate sleepy games, let alone spend money.


    Millwall''s football philosophy has always been ahead of the times.


    The concept of football is the same in all directions, and there has never been any detachment in the absolute sense.


    Millwall is now spreading the control, but this is only a foundation, shaping the foundation of the game situation, which is absolutely beneficial to him. It can be said that it will be played to the extreme by attacking and defending.


    At the same time as the ball is stable and effective, the frontcourt players look for free time, catch the free time, and get ready to go. Then, a more threatening offensive will erupt.


    This is similar to Barcelona in the Guardiola era, but it is not exactly the same.


    Barcelona claims to be unchanged for 20 years, making their fans proud. This pride is hypocritical, because 433 formation can not represent any heritage.


    If Barcelona fans think that Cruyff¡¯s Barcelona, ??Van Gaal¡¯s Barcelona, ??Rijkaard¡¯s Barcelona, ??and Guardiola¡¯s Barcelona are the same, or in the same line, then this is absolutely nonsense.


    Pep Guardiola''s Barcelona takes the pass to the top!


    Fans who don''t like Barcelona are slamming their excessive down-footed passes, making them drowsy.


    However, from a tactical point of view, many of Barcelona¡¯s seemingly meaningless passes are actually ¡°offense instead of defense¡±. They clearly pushed the attack to a dangerous zone, but they will pass the ball back and reorganize it again. Is it the right to control the ball? Are you pursuing data on brushing the ball rate?


    No, every time it is like a temptation, and like a provocative attack that breaks into a dangerous zone and then returns, the overall situation is undergoing a subtle change, that is, forcing all opponents to be nervous! Must be back! Because there have been signs of danger!


    When the opponents are back, and Barcelona will attack again, they will not be very embarrassed when they are counterattacked. They can calmly counterattack, arrange the defense line, even if the opponents are not superior in skills and tactics, they don¡¯t know how to fight back. Because his own formation was already chaotic when all the staff returned to defend and forced to rob.


    But in terms of pure "transmission and control" tactics, its peak is not extremely transcendent. The Spanish national team has reached an unprecedented glory, but they have not brought the crazy momentum of destruction. Barcelona is exceptionally brilliant, but it highlights The importance of Messi, because at many critical moments, "unexpected variables" are still needed to decide the game.


    Messi''s individual ability is the key catalytic factor at the peak of Barcelona''s transmission and control. It can be said that without Messi, even if Barcelona uses the transmission and control to occupy the absolute advantage on the field, there will still be many and many games that cannot be won!


    This is the traditional power of football in some mainstream concepts!


    There are many people who are disgusted with such a pass. For example, Beckenbauer believes that when you have a chance to break through the city gate, you must try boldly instead of passing the ball back.


    It is undeniable that such transmission and control can bring innumerable advantages such as oppression and consumption of opponents, while ensuring the safety of your own, etc., so many teams that are not afraid of death are reluctant to put a bus, do not want to shrink, and then, die It''s miserable, and it''s an extraordinary defeat.


    It¡¯s like Millwall¡¯s promotion to the Champions League final, killing Chelsea and Monaco, because they refused to put the bus and tried to disturb Millwall¡¯s organization by rushing in the midfield. As a result, the defensive strength of the back defense line declined. Instead of getting off the ball, Millwall easily penetrated the defense.


    Millwall now has no Messi in the first team, but Messi can provide the traditional mainstream individual strength, Millwall is more powerful than Barcelona at its peak!


    Ronaldinho and Henry are the most prominent.


    If you quantify this energy, you can simply use the pair states to compare.


    To guard Ronaldinho, one player is not enough, at least two.


    To prevent Henry, one is not enough, and at least two are needed.


    Only world-class defensive players, such as Nesta and Maldini, are they likely to completely freeze Ronaldinho and Henry one-on-one in 90 minutes, and there is still a specific environment, that is, Ronaldinho and Henry must actively take one. Challenge each other to one!


    If there is a passing space, there is a point of contact, why one-to-one with you? Accelerating the pass and changing direction, the world-class defender is not a god, and will be broken!


    Nedved, Larson, corresponding to Porto¡¯s defensive player ability today, can¡¯t resist one-on-one, at least one and a half, that is, three local defenses, which may limit the two in perfect cooperation. .


    In this way, in theory, to freeze Millwall''s front four team, at least 6 people are needed, and it is 6 people to build a perfect joint defense system.


    The reality is that Millwall''s offensive routines are irregular. They have a large range of activities and frequent transpositions, which makes it more difficult for defensive players to mark them.


    If you think about it again, Alonso and the two full-backs suddenly plug in.


    The opponent, besides swinging the bus, is there a way to live?


    Of course, constructing a system like this is not something that can be quantified simply by the player''s ability. Otherwise, the Galaxy warships will not start to fall. They first have no Millwall''s midfield and backcourt control to create a stable scene advantage. Second, the offensive team in the frontcourt did not have the understanding of Millwall¡¯s team. The luxurious Galaxy battleship has now come to sacrifice Raul, allowing Raul to spend most of his energy to participate in the team¡¯s defense. 54 goals, defensive quality ranks in the middle and lower reaches of the league, without a solid defense, the offense will be weakened over the same period, the kind of football idea of ??"scoring more goals than opponents" in the past is completely outdated! The interaction between offensive and defensive has never been closer and deeper than ever.


    Aldrich¡¯s work in the past year can be seen as a summary of the essence of the ten years of condensed mad lions, and in the implementation of the sublimation of the team¡¯s fighting power, Chelsea is using money to carry out the football revolution, Aldridge¡¯s Milwa Er, is using pure vitality to promote the development of the whole modern football!


    Millwall, heading towards the place where the pinnacle is crossed, towards the true "no solution"!


    Opponents cannot crack their technical and tactical systems, nor can they form powerful snipers.


    You can only put the bus, compress the space, use human flesh to reduce the area of ??the goal, and then, according to fate, Millwall may lose to luck, to his state, to the future time, or to the referee, but they Never lose to any opponent on this planet!


    I''m fine with myself, don''t want to beat me!


    Because, I am the strongest! none of them!


    At the halftime break of the Champions League final, the score was 2:0, Millwall led by two goals, Mourinho thoroughly understood the true strength of the game after watching the first half of the game.


    Millwall can destroy Porto, but Odri? cannot crush Mourinho''s confidence.


    Can be defeated, but will not be knocked down!


    People with persistent beliefs will get up again and again, keep their heads high and continue to move forward.


    Porto started to swing the bus in the second half. In the absolute sense, only the striker Del Lay was looking for waiting opportunities in the middle circle. The other players almost returned to the dangerous zone of 35 yards in front of the door.


    Mourinho wanted to understand how to limit Millwall, even if the score is 0:0, Porto wants to win, the probability is less than 10%.


    Millwall¡¯s pass control is extremely shameless to him, like a seduce, you dare to invest your troops and furiously rob me in the midfield, I dare to pass the ball up, let the superstars of the offense flash a flash of light to make you regret but too late!


    Where is this shameless seduce?


    If there are only two or three players in Porto rushing, Millwall is not in a hurry, passing each other to trick you.


    But if there are four or five players, Millwall will immediately advance the offensive to the forefront, because in the back line, Porto will have only five or six defensive players. Even if Millwall does not have a teammate plugged in, 4VS6 , Can still play a threat offensive.


    Mourinho changed his mind to comfort himself. Millwall is strong on paper. If Porto can have several world-class defensive players, or if Porto is really a team equivalent to Millwall on paper, Mu Rinho firmly believes that he will not lose!


    Aldridge won, but only in the better resources.


    It is not impossible to play against the tactical master Aldridge, the ultra-luxury Millwall, and their creation of a magnificent new tactical system. It is not impossible. The probability is very small. They redefine the height and concept of the strong. .


    In the second half, Aldridge adjusted the team''s offense, the opponent put the bus, Millwall''s change can play a role.


    Ashley Cole and Schneider swiftly shuttled and inscribed on both wings, still stirring up the Porto defense line!


    Further compress their defensive formations.


    The tearing of the two wings means that the width of the opponent''s defensive formation is widened, which makes Porto''s midfielder frequently need to make up for the defense. The chain reaction leads to a reduction in the protection before the penalty area.


    When Alonso also came up, Millwall did not attack and penetrate the restricted area. Outside the restricted area, he used a long shot to deter opponents.


    In the 64th minute, Costinia and Mendes were passed by Ronaldinho, Nedved, and Alonso who had assisted in a continuous triangle to the shock.


    They couldn''t keep up with the speed of the ball. The defender didn''t dare to step forward, because both Schneider and Ashley Cole looked at the top corner of the penalty area.


    Henry and Larson''s running position also fluctuated, making their scalp numb.


    The Millwall team has a great tacit understanding. It will not make mistakes for a continuous kick. Deep, horizontal, and all-around passes are tearing the opponent''s defensive formation.


    After the left-right swing pass transfer, Ronaldinho and Nedved, Larsson made another pass, the Porto defensive player was dizzy, and when the ball was under Nedved, Costinia and the goal Des collapsed while constantly switching defense goals!


    The two rushed to Nedved at the same time, the latter gently passed the ball laterally to the top of the arc of the penalty area, Ronaldinho threw away Deco, and rushed to meet the ball in the instep!


    A brilliant arc over the top shot was displayed. The ball bypassed Carvalho''s head and went straight to the dead corner of the top right corner of the goal, very close to his first goal.


    Baia also keeps moving on the goal line, because Millwall''s offensive transfer ball is outside the penalty area, it is possible to make a long-range shot, he has to pass to compress the angle, the goalkeeper''s first point is to block the near corner, also That is to say, the straight distance between the ball and the center of the three-dimensional area presented by the goal is basically the goal line defensive position that the goalkeeper must be in, so in the constant movement, Baia also seems to be caught off guard. Ronaldinho''s foot ball itself is Playing extremely tricky and suddenly, Baia saves too late and can only watch the ball lying quietly in the goal.


    Ronaldinho''s relaxed smile spread his hands to the audience in the stands after scoring a goal, as if to say that the goal was very easy.

 Chapter 991： Rising star

    "Ronaldinho scored twice! At 3:0, he helped Millwall lock the fifth European Champions Cup! A wonderful arc, an impressive goal! Even if all the Porto retired , Still can''t stop Millwall from scoring! Porto looks panic and messy, maybe they have never felt such great pressure. Manchester United, Lyon, A Coru?a, they have never made Porto tremble and fear, but now they are facing Millwall! The European Super Kings team!"


    Ronaldinho opened his arms and closed his eyes, a posture that Lao Tzu would score goals, a smile frivolous, deeply imprinted in the hearts of every audience.


    Aldridge is more satisfied with the team''s transformation and progress this season and self-assessment.


    Young players are growing in the plan, the use of veterans, as well as the adjustment of the team superstars when they were playing, such as Ronaldinho, decompressing Ronaldinho on the court, it is now difficult to see Ronaldinho sticking the ball for a long time, he plays The ball is more reasonable, and it will often break out when his teammates help him to contain the target defensive player, but if his teammates cannot help him share the pressure, then his performance will definitely decline.


    Imagine that five or six years ago, that generation of young and beautiful supernovas, alien Ronaldo, Prince Zebra Piero, Lord of the Rings Raul, were all amazing when they debuted.


    However, as time passed, when they reached their peak age in mainstream opinion, they all transformed. They used to be able to cross the five levels and kill the supernova that will rule Qiankun. , Or in response to the development of the striker.


    Excluding that Ronaldo and Piero have suffered serious injuries, there is another factor that is inevitable, that is, they are already world-class stars, and naturally they cannot compare with the pressure when they debut, opponents study them and invest in defense Stress cannot be the same.


    This phenomenon is very common, corresponding to Ronaldinho, the future Kaka, Ronaldo, Messi, the trajectory is approximately the same.


    As long as he does not put all the burden on Ronaldinho''s shoulders, Aldrich firmly believes that Ronaldinho''s career development will be very optimistic.


    The Porto players lost their hearts and souls. The three-goal strike left them overwhelmed. All their confidence and ambition were instantly destroyed by Millwall''s third goal.


    Henry, Nedvide, Ronaldinho, Larson, watching the superstars that Millwall galloped on their defense, they came up with a thought in their hearts: is it impossible to prevent it?


    Aldridge made a substitution.


    The young Ronaldo replaced Larson on the sidelines.


    Fans of the mad lions in the stands of the Schalke Stadium proudly applauded and cheered, expressing high respect for Larson''s end.


    "Henrik Larson was replaced! The veteran, who is about to turn 33, gave Millwall another great performance! In the crucial battle, Larson was Sir Hall¡¯s unwavering ace, In the fight against Arsenal, it was Larsson¡¯s assists and goals that helped Millwall achieve a major reversal! Today¡¯s Champions League final, the ruined goals also come from his assists, Millwall fans can¡¯t ask for more from him, It can only be treated with lofty respect like Millwall¡¯s 10-year-old legendary player, and I hope the time will go slower and slower, so that Larson¡¯s farewell time will come later! We have reason to believe that this substitution is now a certain kind In the sense of inheritance, the 19-year-old Portuguese genius star Cristiano Ronaldo will play. He will be the leader of Millwall in the next ten years! If he can play for 10 years like Larson in Millwall, then he must be able to Become the legend of the crazy lion in the next decade!"


    Cristiano Ronaldo took over Larsen''s position. Ronaldo did not frighten him just 12 days ago, and Cristiano Ronaldo did not frighten, bringing fresh vitality to Millwall''s offensive end.


    The Porto crowd trailed by three goals, and under the collapse of mental pressure, the defensive action was extremely rough!


    Aldrich had just made less than 3 minutes of substitutions. Ronaldinho was shoveled by Ferreira and Costinia in the frontcourt. Ronaldinho, who had dodged in advance, did not completely hide because the opponent was a two-person tackle. Open, a long wound was scraped on the side of the calf, and the blood flow could not be stopped.


    This is not a serious injury, similar to a skin trauma, but if the wound is too long, the stitching will take a short time, and even if the bleeding is urgently stopped, the wound will crack during the violent running.


    When Ronaldinho was sitting in the field to receive the team doctor''s treatment of the wound, the live-action camera captured the shocking wound and the sight that the ball socks were almost red with blood.


    Booing at the Schalke Stadium, Millwall fans screamed at Porto in the stands, and at the same time, in the stadium Deveide, Southgate led a small-scale group conflict with the Porto players.


    The dust didn''t settle until the referee drew four cards in a row.


    Aldridge roared towards the fourth official on the sidelines, slamming the referee''s punishment scale is wrong, and he should show a red card to Porto!


    Mourinho was in a state of grief that was more than heartbreak, standing still beside the coach seat, as if he was unwilling to touch the mold.


    As a last resort, Aldridge wants to replace Ronaldinho.


    Compared with just two sentences when changing to Cristiano Ronaldo, Aldridge raised his face against Kaka during the second accidental substitution, requiring more on-the-spot adjustments that Kaka needs to recount.


    Half a month later, the European Cup in 2004 will kick off.


    Aldridge does not want players to be injured again, especially players like Nedved who are full of expectations for the summer national team games.


    Millwall couldn''t continue his offensive anymore, and Porto appeared to jump off the wall at this time, and the foul was too lethal.


    The formation retreats, mainly with stable ball control in the midfield and backcourt. Porto does not come up to grab, then the safety of the match will clean up the game time and pull it down!


    If they come up to grab, Millwall has room in the frontcourt to launch a fast break!


    When Ronaldinho was helped by the team doctor, he originally walked by himself, but the injured leg must support the body, and the wound that had just been treated oozed out of the blood, so he put his hands on the team doctor''s shoulder, One foot slowly jumped towards the sidelines.


    When he came to the sidelines to hug his compatriot Kaka, Ronaldinho showed a smile to Aldridge, so that Aldridge was slightly relieved, and the team doctor also informed Aldridge at the first time that Ronaldinho''s injury was not serious, just this game was over. Luo will enter the holiday.


    Kaka said a few words to Nedved after running, and then ran to Cristiano Rodriguez to tell Aldridge''s tactical adjustment requirements.


    Nedved retreated, hitting the midfielder, Kaka front waist.


    Ronaldo was ambushing behind Henry, changing from the right side to the left side of the court, Henry was at the forefront, and the activity area was not limited.


    Aldridge also waved towards Schneider on the sidelines to withdraw, as did Ashley Cole on the other side.


    Millwall''s overall formation contracted and no longer continued to wreak havoc in Porto. They built a tough defense of four guards and three midfielders.


    Mourinho looked at the game time, 68 minutes, more than 20 minutes before the end of the game.


    He also immediately replaced, McCarthy replaced Del Lay, and then gestured quietly on the field.


    Obviously, more than 20 minutes is enough to make a miracle happen!


    Mourinho firmly believes that if Porto can score a goal as soon as Millwall takes the initiative to retreat, the suspense of the game, there is still!


    Absolutely!


    I don¡¯t want to admit my fate!


    Unwilling to give up!


    Aldridge refrained from violent outbursts, and did not visit Mourinho at all.


    He understands the coach''s character, football field, time, represents all possibilities!


    There is time.


    On the scene, Millwall also gives you what you want!


    Allows you to stabilize the ball in the backcourt, allows you to pass through the midfield, allows you to try everything to catch the straw!


    Then, when you thought the dawn was coming, I completely crushed all your hopes!


    Even though McCarthy is full of energy, he wants to make a difference under the blockade of Southgate and Nesta.


    When Nedvide retreated deeper, Millwall was not afraid of his opponent''s ribs being empty. This season''s sudden winger flow, if Millwall does not know how to prevent it, it is simply a big deal.


    Maniche, Delle, Deco, Alenichev, four of them overwhelmed the halftime offense, but they will still be blocked by Millwall to block their outgoing line and reduce their passing space.


    So Costinia also came up, and Ferreira and Valent also had to step forward and become the tactics behind the winger who could not connect with the middle.


    In the 78th minute, Manichee passed the ball, Nesta made a steady header and the ball was controlled by Nedved. When Costinia counter-robbed from the back, Nedved pulled the ball laterally out of the air. Half-turn to pass the ball forward.


    Kaka received the ball at the midfield line, turned around, and started. When Mendes blocked in front, Kaka''s dribbling speed was still increasing!


    The Son of God is chasing the wind!


    Let him start, and give him a big step forward for meteor space, no one can stop it!


    Different from Ronaldinho¡¯s delicate technical experience to the top level, he may be given 3-5 meters of startup space and a loose range, he can display magic, in this regard, Kaka still has to be slightly inferior, he needs to accelerate, More space is needed, but as long as Kaka is activated, the ball will be up and the combination of man and ball will be perfect. Especially when he changes direction, he can accelerate and break through the roadblock!


    Mendes seemed to be vulnerable, and the defense was useless. When Kaka turned the ball in front of him, he turned around, as if a century had passed, he could only see Kaka¡¯s back, and there was no chance of fouling. Unless, he made up his mind to foul from the beginning!


    Kaka flicked the ball and came to the front of the penalty area. Henry pulled the position to reduce the resistance for his attack. When Costa rushed to intercept him, Kaka suddenly slid the ball to the left front. Costa turned back and looked desperate. Color!


    Cristiano Ronaldo scored into the penalty area, single-handed!


    Diagonally towards the goal, C Ronaldo volleyed the ball!


    It''s a pity that the ball was too positive and was blocked by goalkeeper Baia.


    The blocked ball bounced back to the middle, which happened to bounce to Kaka. Kaka had no time to think about it and directly headed the ball to the goal.


    Baia fell to the ground and immediately got up, but in a hurry, the palm of his hand still failed to touch the ball, and the ball fell into the goal!

 Chapter 992： ten years

    "Wow! Millwall tore off Porto''s defense with a simple quick break! Can''t help, Mendes couldn''t help Millwall''s new Kaka! Kaka started with the ball from the middle circle, The ball broke through Mendes, and C Ronaldo had a good pass before the penalty area. C Ronaldo had a chance to score a goal, but his shot angle was too positive, and the ball saved by Baia returned to Kaka. In front of Kaka, Kaka rushed a header and pushed the ball towards the goal, Baia was unable to return to the sky! At 4:0, Millwall completely destroyed Porto! Porto¡¯s dark horse miracle ends here!"


    Kaka was very excited after scoring a goal, he did not expect that he could finally seize the opportunity to break through the opponent''s door.


    Arriving at Schalke Stadium has completely become a venue for Millwall fans. Aldridge smiled and applauded on the sidelines, but he didn''t know why, and his smile looked slightly gruesome at the moment.


    Regardless of the outside world, he and Mourinho are described as foes.


    At least the enemy is certain.


    Madman, aren''t you going to Chelsea?


    I give you a gift!


    Is the Champions League runner-up enough?


    Is the runner-up enough for the Intercontinental Cup finals for two consecutive years? !


    The Porto team lost their confidence and no longer had any expectations for the game.


    Mourinho remained motionless, as if numb.


    As Porto''s army retreated and gave up their offensive, Millwall also began to consume the game time.


    In the 84th minute of the game, Aldridge also replaced Schneider, and it was Ram who was replaced.


    "German teenager Ram was replaced and Millwall used all substitutions. The full-back from the German Bayern Munich youth training system became a stable main substitute in the first season of coming to Millwall Players, there are only 7 starts in the season, but they have played 20 times off the bench, and contributed 3 scoring goals and 9 assists. In the Premier League finale, we saw 6 Millwall legends for 10 years Meritorious players are on the stage, and now we can see new faces like Ram, De Rossi, Alonso, Kaka, C Ronaldo playing for Millwall at the same time in the Champions League, and of course, the World Cup champion Player Ashley Cole is also young, and we have reason to expect that they will be an important force for Millwall to continue its glory!"


    Time passes by one minute and one second.


    Although Millwall is mainly based on controlling the field, he will definitely attack, and the three players who have been put on the field have become active points. Ram, Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, and the third line all have impact driving points. Unfortunately, all Porto players Withdrawing the bus, there was no more room for Millwall.


    In terms of cracking intensive defense, Ronaldo and Kaka are still immature. They need more experience to improve their abilities.


    Porto continued to take fouls during the resistance. At the end of the game, Carvalho was sent off with a red card. He rushed out of the penalty area and knocked down Kaka.


    When the last second of stoppage time arrived, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the match.


    Arrogantly went to the stands of Schalke Stadium, fans of the crazy lions shouted in unison, and huge roars rose into the sky, shaking in all directions!


    "Congratulations to Millwall for winning the European Championship in the 03-04 season! This season, Millwall has completed a major reversal of Arsenal in the league, and now in the Champions League with the sweeping momentum to win the Champions League, they become This season''s double crown! Back to the throne of the king! At the same time, this Champions League trophy has made them the king of England''s Champions League! Starting from the 97-98 season, in 7 seasons, Millwall is in Huo. Sir Earl led and won five Champions League trophy! No team in England can compare with them, Liverpool has only four, and Millwall has also become the third team in the history of Champions League history, they only trailed to the Royals Six times between Madrid and AC Milan! This is the tenth anniversary of Sir Hall¡¯s coaching of Millwall. In ten years, Sir Hall brought Millwall from obscurity to the position of a giant. Now, he is giving this team Endow greatness, endow souls, endow glory!"


    At the moment when the whistle sounded, Aldrich turned to Mourinho.


    Countless reporters rushed over and pointed at the camera with the camera.


    Five Champions League titles!


    The most successful coach of the contemporary era, one foot has stepped into the legendary young footballer!


    Unlike the seven years ago, when Aldridge walked to the Barcelona coach seat, he just glanced at the green Mourinho with the corners of his eyes. Now, Aldridge is facing the madman.


    Mourinho seemed to be in a daze, standing still beside the coach seat. The coach on the Porto coach seat and the players on the bench were all lost.


    Aldrich walked to Mourinho less than two meters away, stopped, and when Mourinho reacted and turned to look at him, Aldridge said to him indifferently: "I am waiting for you in the Premier League And watch you leave again."


    The surrounding reporters were full of blood. In addition to the historic moment of shooting at the scene and participating as a staff member, Aldridge gave them unexpected news.


    "I am waiting for you in the Premier League."


    If there is only this half sentence, maybe the news is nothing special, it is nothing more than the two coaches about to fight, or a bit of a pity that the opponent will continue the war again.


    But the second half of the sentence "see you again to leave".


    The taste has changed!


    Aldrich, domineering!


    Mourinho has not yet reached Stamford Bridge, but the news has been heard.


    Aldrich''s sentence is bright and honest, the subtext is: you come, I will beat you again, then, you can only be ridiculous!


    Without waiting for Mourinho to make any response, Odri? turned his head and left. At the same time, he took away many, many reporters, and only a small part remained to film Mourinho''s response.


    When Aldridge just turned around, a reporter around him asked aloud: "Sir Hall, Millwall has re-requested the Premier League and Champions League championship this season. Does it mean that Millwall has become the most successful club in the past decade? "


    Aldridge smiled and walked into the stadium without squinting, said easily: "Millwall is certainly the most successful club now! But this is not enough, we will impact the most successful club in history! One day in the future, no People can say sourly that Real Madrid, AC Milan have more Champions League trophies than Millwall, without Liverpool fans to pull out banners to show off their eighteen top league championship trophies, don¡¯t believe it? Let¡¯s wait and see, in Before I grow old, I will let the world see this scene!"


    Mourinho did not have time to respond to Odri?, but he was also walking towards the court. He was going to Chelsea, but he had to comfort his disciples at this time. As for the Champions League runner-up medal, he didn''t care.


    When he heard what Aldridge said in response to the reporter''s question, he had a moment of distraction.


    In terms of achievement alone, he is too far away from Aldridge, Aldrich is out of reach!


    However, this stimulated his ambition even more. He wanted to build a dynasty in Chelsea. Chelsea''s platform is not the same as Porto!


    Up to two years, up to two years!


    He firmly believed that he could build a King''s division that would compete with Millwall!


    Because, he is Jose Mourinho!


    Millwall players rushed to celebrate on the court, and Nesta was the most excited.


    After coming to Millwall for two years, he has reached the peak of his club career. Not only can he add a "conquering England" highlight to his resume, he is also standing on the top of Europe, and has an exciting future.


    The teenagers were also very excited. Ram, De Rossi, Alonso, Ronaldo, Kaka, they ran together, hugged each other in the field, and shouted passionately in the eyes of everyone.


    Aldrich embraced high-five with every player in accordance with his habit, but gradually, he was surrounded by players, and then led by Southgate, he was thrown into the sky by the players!


    From 1994 to 2004, the ten-year cycle ended successfully. Aldrich¡¯s goal was no longer personal success, no longer to challenge the contemporary giants, to end whose dominance.


    Just as he was thrown into the sky by the players and looked at the endless sky at this time, his vision transcended everything on the earth and cast into the misty galaxy, wanting to subvert the glory created by all the sages!


    Many fans of Crazy Lions wept with joy, constantly chanting Aldridge''s name.


    Ten years ago, he was like a handsome young man.


    Ten years later, he was like a family with blood.


    Eight years ago, Southgate won the first championship trophy in Millwall history at Wembley.


    Eight years later, at the Schalke Stadium, the 34-year-old Southgate won the European Championship trophy for the fifth time as a captain!


    Millwall has no crown for a hundred years, but after receiving the first championship trophy, they are out of control, harvesting the championship trophy at a rate that shocks everyone in the world!


    At the end of the awards ceremony, the players were competing for a group photo with the Champions League trophy. Like Ronaldo posing cool, Kaka was like a big boy next door showing a pure smile.


    Schneider, Southgate, Bute, Nedved, Larson stand together on their shoulders, Southgate holds the Champions League trophy in the middle of the hands, and the other four stretch out their palms to compare Five fingers.


    The European Champions Cup, five crowns in hand!


    They are only one step away from the peak of the player''s individual Champions League wins!


    Equal to Real Madrid''s famous place Gento won the Champions League six, only one Champions League trophy!


    Even if their eldest is about to go to 34, but the gentle smile on their faces, but there is no lack of power of faith, and the sharp eyes of joy, they are proclaiming to the world: our footsteps have not stopped, and we will never take the initiative Stop!


    Only one step away from the most legendary peak!


    No one will give up, no one will feel tired!


    This is their last goal in their career as they enter their old age!


    Really stay in history, in the memory of countless fans, they will become a record monument on that peak in the next ten, twenty, fifty years when they are mentioned by fans!


    Aldrich came to the sidelines and walked to the stands. After passionately celebrating, the fans raised their scarves and sang their team songs repeatedly in the stands.


    There are still a lot of media reporters and live camera around him. Audridge sees nothing, and his eyes are turned to the stands. When his eyes meet the eyes of every fan, he seems to see the past, seeing each of the past ten years. The coaching game saw all the ups and downs.


    He smiled, opened his mouth, and sang the lion''s team song with the fans.


    "No matter where you are going, the weather is unstoppable, I will accompany you... No one likes us, we don''t care..."


    The commander-in-chief and the fans sang in unison, while raising their hands to the stands. After a while, Earl and Burt ran over, and Ewen holding Bonnie also came to Aldrich''s side.


    Aldrich turned his head and smiled at Yiwen, put his face together, his little princess Bonnie came up and kissed his father''s face, Aldridge still did not close his mouth, he has been singing mad lion Team song, with the fans.


    He lowered his head and gestured that Burt and Earl also joined him, and the two sons sang out immediately, exactly like Aldridge, smiling, singing with the Millwall fans who were still in the stands.


    It¡¯s just a simple song, and they have been singing and repeating it all the time.


    Compared with ten years ago, there is a climax lyrics in the team song.


    When I sing for the first time, it will be "No one likes us, we don''t care!"


    The second time, it was changed to "Everyone likes us, we still don''t care!"


    At the Schalke Stadium, the pictures of Aldridge and his sons and fans singing in unison, became the precious pictures of the Millwall Club this season, and will be permanently stored in the memory of every Millwall people. Even after a hundred years, it is still a classic fragment of Millwall''s history.


    At the end of the 2003-2004 season, Millwall finally achieved the Premier League and the Champions League double crown this season and returned to the top of Europe. Their performance this season can be used as the epitome of the fierce battle with AC Milan in the European Super Cup. The Premier League has been tight After chasing opponents, the final round was completed.

 Chapter 993： The sword points to the European Cup!

    "England started a mess again!"


    "Sir Hall is silently protesting the centuries-old tradition of England!"


    "How does this reassure England fans!"


    "Three Lions! You are the champions of the World Cup! Take the champion''s posture!"


    ...


    On the second day of the Champions League final, the national team''s journey was placed in front of Audridge.


    He didn''t take a break, but he gave leave to Ashley Cole, Southgate and other England players who struggled to the end of the season.


    From the end of the Champions League final to the opening of the European Cup, there are only two weeks in between.


    During this period, the England national team assembled, England also announced a big list for the European Cup.


    Goalkeepers: Robinson, James, Walker.


    Defenders: Gary Neville, Phil Neville, Ashley Cole, Bridge, Campbell, Terry, Southgate, Carragher.


    Midfielders: Hargreaves, Bart, Lampard, Gerrard, Carrick, Scholes, Beckham, Joe Cole, Dyer.


    Forwards: Irving, Rooney, Alan Smith.


    Aldridge''s list of the European Cup for England was not very different from that of the World Cup in 2002. Gary Neville and Gerrard, who were lost due to injury two years ago, did not expect to go with the team. The goalkeeper position was updated. , Should be the most unstable link in England.


    Compared to two years ago, England¡¯s paper strength should be stronger!


    People, or those people.


    However, in terms of ability, experience, team-wide understanding, and maturity of the technical and tactical system, England has made great progress in all aspects.


    If it was said that England had won the World Cup two years ago by utilitarianism and tactics, then now England has steadily entered the ranks of the world''s top teams.


    In addition to the goalkeeper, the players in each position have been through hundreds of battles and have the ability to fight hard. They have experienced many trials. Although Rooney may be a bit young, Aldridge only intends to use Rooney as a stranger. , Who will appear behind Irving, he has a new idea.


    The goalkeeper position may be said to be a hard injury, which can''t be avoided, but in the defender link, Ferdinand''s suspension is "responsible". If Ferdinand is not suspended, Carragher will still lose because Carragher has been absent in the past season except for injuries. Many games, and he still hasn''t returned to the position of the central defender that best reflects his ability. It seems that only when the well-known Benitez transforms Liverpool can he shine in the correct position.


    After four years of kneading the team, England is now a well-known and powerful team, and it is a top match.


    However, in the warm-up match before the European Cup, they played a mess, terrible.


    No way, Aldridge wants to give players more rest time, other teams are warming up, England is fighting for time and energy!


    Aldrich can¡¯t change the tradition of England. Half a century ago, there was no winter break. During Christmas, all the people were on holiday. Fans entered the stadium to watch the game as entertainment. This is a tradition. It¡¯s a deeply entrenched tradition. If you are the World Cup winning champion, you can change it with your finger.


    Aldridge did not ask for fun, so he sacrificed the warm-up record.


    He even went to the national team without even participating in Millwall''s official championship parade celebration.


    As the European Cup approached, Aldridge and Millwall were caught in the whirlpool of public opinion.


    Chelsea''s "sweeping goods" offensive is still in progress. In early June, the madman came to London and assumed office. Chelsea seems to be welcoming Mourinho and asking for prices in the transfer market. Rumors spread like wildfire. Especially for Millwall, with the exception of veterans over 32, almost every player is on the Chelsea acquisition list.


    At the same time, Dutch coach Ed Vokat slammed Aldridge, thinking that Aldridge did not trust Robben last season. Robben spent two disappointing seasons at the Lion King Stadium and wasted his time!


    In the same period, Robben''s father was grandly entertained by an official representative of Chelsea.


    It''s hard to say that Chelsea is seduce Robben. Robben''s father may be more likely to come home because Chelsea is directly seeking to disclose Robben''s weekly salary.


    ¡ê50,000!


    This is still a preliminary quotation. Talking about it, the rise is definitely possible.


    How great is Chelsea?


    Duff can get 70,000 pounds. After the end of the season, Abu gave Terry a contract salary to increase to 100,000 pounds to stabilize the military heart!


    Everyone knows that Terry is a banner character at Stamford Bridge. At least, when Chelsea built an international column, only Terry was a player from the Blues youth training system. His blood, in the eyes of everyone, should be blue. Colored.


    However, few people know that Terry is actually a loyal Manchester United fan!


    When he went to Old Trafford to watch the game when he was a kid, Terry was sitting in front of Beckham and Neville as a boy.


    Therefore, after Chelsea just renewed a season last summer, Terry increased his salary and renewed the contract. On the one hand, it is to lock Terry''s future, on the other hand, it is also to allow the club locker room to smoothly transition the turmoil brought by the coaching change.


    Kaka returned to Brazil, and Chelsea representatives went to South America to plan a private meeting with Kaka''s father.


    Cristiano Ronaldo reported to the national team, and Chelsea representatives also naturally went to Portugal on the grounds of inspecting the European Cup players.


    ...


    Aldrich is entangled in official business. The European Cup is about to start. He cannot be distracted by other things. The renewal of the club has been handed over to Adam. He will only go back to the end of the European Cup to check the results.


    Did not care about the news in the transfer market, so Aldrich did not find that Chelsea has another unusual sign in the transfer market. If he pays attention to observation and thinking, he will definitely find the key.


    The top 16 teams in the European Cup gathered in Portugal one after another.


    When the Three Lions arrived in Lisbon, Portugal, there were tens of thousands of English fans who arrived in advance waiting.


    The scorching sun is like fire, and the exposed female fans in England also use the graceful flesh as the capital to cheer, which makes the arrival of England have a more dazzling scenery.


    As they walked out of the airport, the representatives of the Three Lions in suits and suits followed Aldridge and the coaching staff. Aldridge was expressionless and cold.


    The European Cup is shorter than the World Cup schedule, but it is likely that the time to go home will be faster!


    For Aldridge, today¡¯s England will be more difficult than two years ago, even though England is stronger than two years ago!


    However, the World Cup champion is the most popular target, and it is a hot topic to win the championship. England¡¯s technology and tactics are analyzed, studied, and the probability of being targeted is greatly improved. They cannot wait for their opponents to move like they did two years ago. Against the counter-attack, even though the whole team has run in to a certain extent, because of the generally weaker opponents in the qualifiers and insufficient gold content, Aldridge has no idea what will happen when he encounters a stronger opponent in the European Cup.


    No end to no end.


    The attitude of being exposed to the outside world must be tough, so Aldridge seemed extremely cold, as if he had a champion aura.


    Media from all over the world gather in Portugal to follow the progress of the European Cup.


    England''s arrival in Lisbon is the most powerful, in addition to the number of fans picking up the airport, as well as the media present.


    World Cup champions, driving to Portugal, the sword points to the European Cup!


    The uncrowned king arrived in the Netherlands first, and Ed Vokat has a combined old and new tulip army, Fanny, Robben, Ovimas, Vandervat, Sneijder, Davis, Seedorf, De Boer, Stam, Van der Sar, Van Bommel... A new generation of Dutch genius quietly boarded the world''s top stage.


    France, the former World Cup champion who left the World Cup disgraceful group two years ago, arrived later. Santini led a Gaul rooster that was slightly stronger than England. On the championship index, the French team was in parallel with England, and the two teams, In the first round of the group stage, they will directly confront each other and kick off their respective battles.


    With the ten-year talented German team, it is difficult to return, and the problems of green and yellow are further exposed. The old, the small, the mesozoic characters are difficult to support, and they are also divided into the death group. The same group has the Czech Republic and the Netherlands. Strong enemy.


    After independence, the strongest Czech horses arrived in Portugal with unparalleled ambitions. The Czech team, led by the **** of war Nedved, was not afraid of any challenges. Even if they were in the same group as the Netherlands in the qualifiers, they won by 7 wins and 1 draw. The undefeated record of averaging 3 goals per game headed into the finals!


    Spain, the king of the qualifiers, was not optimistic this time. They were taken away by Greece in the qualifiers. They were also divided into the death group. Greece and the host Portugal are in the same group!


    Trapattoni led the World Cup to the death of the Italian team for the European Cup, the Italian team is undergoing changes, and Pirlo is officially coming to the core of the national team''s midfield organization!


    Rehagel made the sword for two years, and finally it became a success!


    Greece has reborn since last year and lost two consecutive games in the first two rounds of the qualifiers. That was in the fall of the previous year. They lost to Spain at home and defeated Ukraine on the road, but played an amazing 6 straight wins in the next six qualifiers. With 8 goals scored, one goal was not lost. Among them, there were four affordable 1:0 games, which not only pushed Ukraine out of the European Cup, but also robbed Spain of the team.


    Greece, the second-rate European team, was divided into the death group, but it is an iron army that cannot be underestimated!


    Fairy Tales Denmark, Nordic Railway Sweden, Eastern European powerhouse Russia, Latvia, Switzerland, Croatia, Bulgaria, 15 European teams from all over the country went to Portugal, and Portugal, the golden host of the host, swept the host under Scolari!


    Sixteen representative European teams competed for the highest honor in Europe in the summer of 2004, and were ambitious to take the throne of European hegemony!

 Chapter 994： Shake Hand Shopkeeper

    Aldrich¡¯s authority on the England national team is called ¡°no anger¡±. He doesn¡¯t need to slap his face to establish his prestige. In the previous World Cup, the Rooney scandal was kicked back directly to England, and then McManaman violated the heavens. The national team.


    Under the media rendering, the England team is quite fancy, and the wife''s team is famous. On the passionate stage of football, the wife''s team makes the England team with entertainment elements even more gorgeous elements.


    However, in the team, the players are very cautious and restrained. What to do when they come to the competition. With experience two years ago, the military rules and regulations are also kept in mind.


    The England team stayed at the hotel in Lisbon, preparing for a closed competition, without any outside influence.


    Three days before the opening battle, the team''s basic work is back on track, and Audridge will start to concentrate all his energy on the four days after England debuts against the French team.


    He is already a cashier, the club, the national team, and so on.


    The coaching staff of the England team was reorganized two years ago, and the Millwall coaches who went to Portugal with Aldridge in the summer only had Jenson and Stella Maggioni.


    The contract of work between Jenson and Millwall has ended. Only when all the matches of this European Cup in England will end, he will officially part ways with Audridge. Now he holds 8 club invitations, 5 of which are from the Premier League. , La Liga, Bundesliga clubs, but all are middle and lower teams, and the other three are European second-tier leagues, such as the Dutch League, Portuguese Super League team invitation, he has made a decision to return to the Netherlands in the summer, go to the old powerhouse The Feyenoord Club takes on a new role.


    After the departure of Jenson''s club, Aldridge will let Boaz take over.


    As a teaching assistant, Jenson has been working for ten years, and he has been familiar with it without any mistakes. The training arrangements within the England team and the assessment of player status have been reported to Aldridge for the main work before these big games.


    In the hotel''s business meeting room, Aldridge sat in the first place and nodded to Stella Maggioni, indicating that he could start his work.


    With Aldridge around for almost two seasons, Stella Maggioni is no longer a monk under Amon, but a little Italian handsome guy two years ago.


    He was studying and working at the same time, and naturally became a workaholic, but he was happy and felt that he will be inspired every once in a while, he is constantly improving, and where he needs to point out his work. Fewer and fewer.


    He stood next to the large projection screen in the conference room, turned on the projector, put in the slide, and on the large screen, the formation of the French team appeared.


    Two years ago, he would give Aldridge a satisfactory formation while investigating his opponent¡¯s reporting work, but two years later, the opponent formation he had sorted out had become irregular, depicting his opponent¡¯s skills and tactics as three-dimensionally as possible The basic formation of the system.


    On the big screen, there is an irregular 442 formation.


    The four guards do not need to say much and are more regular.


    The double waists are not parallel anymore.


    France''s double midfielder, Makelele slightly to the right and Vieira slightly to the left.


    In the center of the midfield, Zidane''s position is also left.


    The French team does not have a left-back or left-wing.


    In theory, the French team has a very suitable person for this position, Pires, but in the right-wing position.


    On the front line, Trezeguet advanced to the right and Henry moved slightly to the left.


    Therefore, the offensive part of the French team''s formation in the front field is relatively empty. Although there is no left winger, it has a certain sense of density on the left.


    Stella Maggioni said confidently: "First of all, the French team¡¯s achievements in the European Cup qualifiers are not enough for reference. That is not convincing. Just like England, the French team¡¯s opponents in the European Cup qualifiers are Yes, Israel, Slovenia, Malta, Cyprus, almost all of the third-tier teams in Europe, so they can play 8 wins, rushed 29 goals and only lost 2 crazy goals, I think, for any world-class It is not too difficult for the team to win in this group. Last summer, the French team won the Confederations Cup. It was a very gorgeous French team, but I still insisted that there is no reference. Sex, because there is a big factor change that is affecting this French team. If you use the normal formation to arrange the French formation I have shown, it is obvious that the French team is playing a unilateral attack formation, which is weakening On the left, the focus is on the right, but in fact, on the contrary, the French team¡¯s right attack is far worse than the left team. At least, I believe that the French coach Santini is so conceived."


    Just by looking at the formation and the player positions marked by Stramaggioni, the situation of the French team is roughly clear.


    He really took the hands of the shopkeeper, so only now began to think about the research work on the opponent, it was Stella Maggioni doing it, after summarizing, it was reported to Audridge, Audridge combined with some remembered experience To make a comprehensive judgment.


    The French team put Thuram in the position of central defender after Decelli faded out of the main force, so the question arises, who does the right back use?


    This competition seems to use Galas, a player who can play the full-back, but not necessarily top-level players.


    The left-back is already Lizarazu''s main force, and Thuram''s partner is Manchester United player Sylvester.


    Stella Magioni on the big screen regionalized the front of Gallas¡¯ right-back and drew an arrow in front of Lizarazu, saying: ¡°The French team¡¯s right backcourt can almost attack Saying that there are not too many threats, Gallas will not suddenly have a sudden outbreak threat like Thuram, and at most he will only do some of the support work in the midfield on the basis of completing his work. The left field offensive It¡¯s different. Santini¡¯s intentions in the warm-up match for the past six months are obviously to hope that Lizarazu can also complete the work of the full-back and the full-back. The winger? The round did not reach him! The French team looks Is to give up the left attack, in fact, I think Pire is arranged on the right, a compromise of Santini, he must give Zidane and Henry, and also help Zarazu create space. Zidane is used to In the backcourt, he retreated deeply and took the ball organization, and then plugged it in, and he moved to the left more frequently than in other areas. At the same time, Lizarazu had a strong assist consciousness, Henry, we are more familiar with him. Millwall''s frontcourt has a wide range of activities and is very active on the left, because Millwall''s Ronaldinho is not a pure left-winger and will not have an obvious conflict with Henry. However, in the French team, when There are three players who are accustomed to being active on the left. If Pir¨¦ is still arranged on the left, then this is absolutely crowded and conflicting. Therefore, Pir¨¦ is a victim of Santini''s tactical design and went to the right. "


    Stella Maggioni''s research and analysis made Audridge nodded involuntarily.


    Since a few years ago, Henry has been in full swing, but even if Henry¡¯s goal rate in France is not low, he still feels inconspicuous, especially when paired with Zidane, he has not achieved the strength of the strong combination that people expected. Super effect.


    If the two of them are completely out of tune, it is nonsense.


    It can only be said that striker Henry, midfielder Zidane, did not achieve a chemical reaction effect of 1+1 greater than 2.


    This effect, which may be slightly offset, stems from regional conflicts in football habits.


    Henry will pull the side at Millwall, and two seasons ago, when Larsson was still the main force, Larsson was a stable scoring point on the right side of the line. Henry''s first choice for the side was the left side, which was beneficial to him Running the air cut or dribbling inside the shot with the right foot used to shoot.


    There is no such conflict in Millwall, there are two points of support.


    The first is that Ronaldinho although the starting position is on the left, but Ronaldinho will cut inwards, will lean towards the middle, and can transpose with Nedved.


    The second point is Nedved''s playing habits and awareness of game experience. If Henry goes to the left and Ronaldinho cuts into the middle, Nedved will directly go to the penalty area!


    The understanding between the club players must be far beyond the national team. This is not directly related to the player''s reputation. It is not a famous player. The combination of players with strong experience consciousness will be perfect and smooth. Real Madrid is an example.


    Millwall players play together for a long time, and the tacit understanding is a potential advantage that other teams cannot compare.


    It can be said that the subtle conflict between Zidane and Henry is similar to the mutual cancellation of the English midfielder double Germany in the original history, except that Zidane is the midfielder and Henry is the forward. This effect will not be like the two midfielders in the It is so obvious and strong in a local area.


    Stella Maggioni put a question mark in front of Pires.


    "Pire is a right-footed player who is famous for playing on the left. He played for Millwall and Arsenal for a total of ten years. He has been playing on the left and suddenly changed him to the right. I think he can play. Will be greatly discounted, inwardly, he will be very accustomed to the left, on the right, the power will drop, he should be very awkward at the same time, in theory, the right foot pass can exert power on this side, but, he In Arsenal, this is not the way to play for a long time, so Pire¡¯s threat on this side, I think it can be marked with a question mark. He also lacks strong backcourt support on the wing, so the French team¡¯s right attack is not We should be the first to worry. Our first focus of defense is our right, and at the same time, we are vigilant of Vieira¡¯s back plug, creating an unexpected threat in this blank area of ??the midfield and frontcourt. !"


    Stramaggioni drew a circle around the more obvious blank area behind Trezeguet.


    Aldridge nodded again.


    Stramaggioni made a very reasonable analysis, and made a few simple sentences. The main defensive focus of the England team''s first game and the main area to cut off the opponent''s offensive threat were planned.


    The strong teams are all regional defense, and the mark-to-man defense is a matter of detail. That is not the main research work of Stella Maggioni.


    Seeing Stella Maggioni chatting freely, Aldridge was very pleased. Compared to researching opponents two seasons ago, he was only in a rigid statistical sorting. Now Stella Maggioni is obviously mature. It¡¯s a lot, and it¡¯s growing faster than Aldridge expects. The benefit is naturally to make Aldridge easier.

 Chapter 995： Double German combination

    Aldrich praised Stella Maggioni''s work privately after the meeting, which made the Italian very happy.


    The English national team''s first strategic deployment of Aldridge also has a heart in mind, the specific arrangements, but also need to think carefully.


    Compared to England two years ago, it was possible to counterattack opponents indifferently, but now the situation is reversed. They are the champions of the World Cup. They are targeted. They must be aggressive in their posture. They will attack them conservatively.


    In the new phase of the national team''s transformation in the past two years, Aldridge has been revised through the practice process of ideal technical and tactical design. The main tone has not been shaken. Most of the local fine-tuning is mainly used to make the entire team run as smoothly as possible. freely.


    Aldrich, who has been coaching for ten years, still does not count as a senior coach on the world stage. For example, French coach Santini has 21 years of coaching experience.


    In the late 1980s, Santini led Toulouse to eliminate Naples with Maradona in the UEFA Cup. The last World Cup France team was disgraced and the national team changed coaches. Santini won the domestic championship with coaching Lyon Highly promoted national team coach.


    At the press conference before the game, Audridge expressed respect and attention to the French team.


    "The French team has the world''s top stars. They are a super strong team. They are also the defending champions of the European Cup. They encountered them in the first game, which is a very serious challenge to England. Although we are younger and richer outside The impact, but I think at this time, the calmer side will have an advantage in the game. I look forward to the first game of the European Cup, the England team can play the momentum that the World Cup champion deserves."


    Santini is not good at communicating with the media. At the press conference, he was just some formulaic remarks. The outside world positioned France as the number one hotspot in the European Cup. He was not humble, thinking that the French team had the strength to defend the title successfully.


    The European Cup opened.


    On the first match day, host Portugal and Greece staged an opener.


    Unexpectedly, when the Portuguese team finished 90 minutes of regular time, they actually fell behind the Greek team 0:2, but in the second minute of stoppage time, Ronaldo scored a goal to save his face.


    Along with Spain''s debut of 1:0 to overtake Russia, the host Portugal''s qualifying route hangs.


    On the second match day, Switzerland and Croatia, who were in the same group as England and France, took the lead in their debut. The two teams made a 0-0 goalless goal in 90 minutes.


    This is very good news for both France and England!


    Lisbon Stadium of Light.


    The Gaul Rooster and the fans of the Three Lions filled the stands, and the enthusiasm was very high.


    When the players of the two teams lined up, the most watched game after the opening of the European Cup officially entered the eyes of global fans.


    "A focus battle in the UEFA Euro B group in 2004 is about to begin! This is a battle for the kings! The defending champion of the European Cup France and the new World Cup champion England are in the same group. This is a feeling that makes the FA feel faceless. As a result of the light grouping, the host Portugal and the defending champion France occupy two first-stage seed teams. Since the score points will comprehensively consider the qualifiers of the past two major competitions, even if the England team won the 2002 World Cup However, because of the unsatisfactory results of the last two qualifiers, the champions fell behind, and failed to get the other two first-level seed teams. This was the phenomenon of being in the same group as France. "


    The team¡¯s binning has little to do with Aldridge, even if he led the team to play in the last World Cup qualifier, but when he took over the team, the team had 3 unbeatable results. As for the 2000 European Cup qualifier, It has nothing to do with him.


    In addition, the European Cup has 16 teams divided into 4 groups, England''s signing is good.


    Compared to Germany, the Netherlands, and the Czech Republic, which has two rivals, England has two rivals, Switzerland and Croatia, who are not too strong at this time.


    "The French team and the English team are strong and have many stars that are familiar to fans all over the world. This focus battle naturally became the most anticipated game since the start of the European Cup! Let''s take a look at the starting list of both sides.


    French team 442.


    Goalkeeper: Bartz.


    Guards: Galas, Thuram, Sylvester, Lizarazu.


    Midfielders: Makelele, Vieira, Zidane, Pires.


    Forwards: Trezeguet, Henry.


    England 442.


    Goalkeeper: Robinson.


    Guards: Gary Neville, Campbell, Southgate, Ashley Cole.


    Midfielders: Beckham, Hargreaves, Scholes, Lampard.


    Forwards: Irving, Gerrard.


    The French team''s starting, we were surprised that veteran Deseli was not arranged in the main draft, but on the England side, the most surprising starter is Liverpool midfielder Gerrard on the front line. A midfielder, England coach Sir Hall asked him to play the striker. I don''t know if this change will have a huge impact on the game. "


    Starting from the end of last year, Gerrard replaced Hypia as the Red Army chief and officially carried Liverpool''s king flag.


    His technical ability and experience consciousness are also more mature. He is 24 years old. If he is not mature, he cannot be the captain.


    England''s striker, in addition to Irving, there is an 18-year-old Rooney, the other contemporaries are difficult to entrust.


    Rooney is Aldridge''s monster, he will not play this card directly.


    In the choice of Irving''s partner, Aldridge chose Gerrard in the starter.


    The World Cup two years ago.


    Behind Owen is McManaman and Scholes.


    Two years later, Aldridge put Gerrard in the shadow forward position, a change that no one thought of.


    Gerrard can play this position, because the season with the highest light of his career is to play this position in Liverpool, especially in the league, a full season, a period of performance, Aldridge will not be because of a certain memory Players play a sloppy game, such as the miracle of Liverpool Champions League.


    Neither Germany can play a defensive midfielder, especially Gerrard. Aldridge will not forget when the "Jie return" started.


    Neither Germany nor Germany can play the role of midfielder commander, and their creative talents are not as good as Scholes. Scholes'' organizational role is more prominent than that of positional creativity.


    Therefore, under the almighty aura of double virtues, if they all appear in the midfield, their own area is narrow, and there will be serious confusion if they do not match, even if in the past English parallel 442, two players in the midfield, one 6 one 8, one partial defense, one partial offense, the two match together, it is impossible to achieve the theoretical balance effect, since there is no balance, it is even less likely to achieve the effect of the positive effect of the chemical reaction.


    The staff was stretched. Aldrich wanted to use dual virtues and began to change his mind, separating the two areas, clearly allocating roles, and completely delineating responsibilities.


    Lampard hits the midfield and Gerrard plays the shadows!


    Taking the sports running position as an example, when defending, if Lampard retreats to the lower back, Gerald''s defensive position will be in the middle circle. Lampard will retreat and Gerrard will retreat. When attacking, Lampard If Germany rushes up and creates a deterrent in the area before the penalty area, Gerald, as a striker, must inevitably press into the penalty area!


    All in all, neither of them plays the role of organizer. One of the retreats is deeper when defending, the other is a crazy anti-robbing in the midfield and the other. When the attack is inserted from the back of the midfield, the other is that the front striker is at the front!


    The two will not collide in the same area, no matter the offense and defense, the position must not be parallel, the positioning ball offense and defense can be another matter.


    Attacking on the wing, Ashley Cole on the left and Beckham on the right.


    After the European Cup, Aldridge will step down, regardless of success or failure, he has decided.


    At this moment, he is no longer timid. If he continues, he firmly believes that he will lead the England team and will play well in the future in 2006, 2008, 10 years or even longer, and may not be a champion, but experience With the improvement of his accumulated ability, he has great confidence in himself.


    But he was too tired. He couldn''t do everything in his club, national team, family, and his own life.


    Two years ago, the "heritage" he intended to leave to England was a group of three lions that had been promoted and positioned to form a united, united heart.


    Two years later, regardless of the results of this competition, he hopes to leave his successor with a new "legacy", that is, in the next 5-8 years, according to the age and status of the England team, it is enough to provoke the "double German combination" of the beam. .


    Avoid allowing latecomers to use the double-German combination by mistake, as much as possible so that the double-German can coexist in the national team and exert their strength and make contributions.


    Looking at the players who lined up for a photo before the match, England''s small round player, who can think of Gary Neville as the longest hair in the starting lineup? Beckham has also shaved a fairly smart and capable position. With England¡¯s World Cup champions in England, he is in the European Cup. His spirit and appearance are very good.


    Aldrich held his head high. He achieved a successful career in England, more or less, because of the light of England, such as the reform of the English Premier League, the development trend of the Premier League, etc., the reason why he did not leave his job two years ago. There is also a desire to return to England.


    To this day, he is already worthy of England. Even if he leaves one day, he can turn around freely and take steps.


    Santini sat in the coach seat next door, his face sinking like water, but there was a flame burning in his heart.


    Not far away, that is the coach of the World Cup champion!


    The current active coach, the only coach of the Champions League five crowns!


    Beat him!


    Crush him!


    Crush him!


    England is not Millwall.


    The French team is not a strong European club.


    In terms of paper strength, the French team is slightly better than the England team!


    Santini firmly believed that he could defeat Aldridge.


    Strip off the young champion''s coat and take everything away from him!


    Aldrich Hall, in this battle, step on your body to become famous in the world!

 Chapter 996： Come out, dont go back!

    The pinnacle of the British and French champions in the past two competitions has begun!


    From the beginning of the game, the mental outlook of the England team has obviously suppressed the French team!


    The players on the English field seemed to hold their breath at this moment to release!


    For a long time in the past, the pressure of the England international team on the national team was extremely great.


    But I don''t know when it started. Players like to return to the national team to play. It seems that this is a safe haven, a place that is more quiet and relaxed than the daily life of the club.


    For example, Irving, he thinks he is one of the 10 best strikers in the world, but his life in Liverpool is getting more and more depressed. It comes from Liverpool¡¯s inability to touch the most important honor. When he comes to the national team, everything The difference is that England already lacks top strikers. His position here is not only unshakable, but even his attention can make him seem to be one of the best three strikers in the world.


    Beckham, for example, joined Real Madrid and made his business value rise again. However, the strange phenomenon is that Real Madrid is buying him, not he holding Florentino''s thighs crying and begging the other party to buy him, but, In the bad season of Real Madrid, Beckham will be one of the sinners and an absolutely controversial figure. Otherwise, how can Florentino''s opponents include the campaign slogan "Beckham must go!" In the election program? Elections are not individual demands, but group demands! The campaign slogan is to buy people''s hearts. If it is unpopular, who would call such a slogan? As for Beckham''s positioning in Real Madrid, it is not whether he should start, whether to play the main force, and how to use him specifically, to the point where "Beckham is one of the roots of this team''s failure".


    Only when he came to the England national team, there was no voice of doubt around him.


    Me, David Beckham.


    I should play the main role.


    I am a World Cup champion!


    Lampard, who was sullen in a turbulent Inter Milan for a season, has improved at a fast pace in Bayern Munich for two years, and Hagrives wants to go further and establish his main position in the England national team in one fell swoop. , Because Aldridge, who trusts him, will leave in the summer, will the new national team coach trust him? He is coming from Bayern Munich youth training camp step by step, arrogant Englishman, who is okay to pay attention to the German football game? Even Bayern Munich don¡¯t get much attention. They have their own leagues and believe that this is the best football in the world!


    Gary Neville, Gerald who missed the 2002 World Cup due to injury, Gerald, if Ferdinand did not die himself, I am afraid he still cannot become the main Campbell...


    Most of England''s players have ambitious ambitions for the European Cup, and they have also accumulated momentum to wait for their release.


    It''s hard to tell what kind of personality charm Aldridge has, but his national team is very quiet, especially in sports affairs. It is definitely resolved in the locker room. Any outside disturbances can''t affect them, so the players come to the national team. Attention will not be distracted, even if the friendly game is messed up, the media scolded his face, Aldridge responded lightly, "I have never heard that a friendly will give birth to a world champion," and it is all over.


    Play quietly and play intently.


    This is the atmosphere in the national team.


    Other things, it is their turn to worry.


    Even if it fails, it seems that it will eventually be pressured by public opinion, it will be their coach, not the players themselves.


    Compared with the "sinners" in England in the past many years, the players have already shed the burden of thinking. This is the deep reason why they like to come to the national team and have a strong fighting spirit.


    Today''s battle with France, from the beginning, the England team is amazing!


    The front-end Irving has become a habit of defensive harassment. Although there is almost no interception effect, there is a tactical intention to intimidate the opponent.


    Gerrard has B2B fitness, Aldrich moved his position forward, so when the French team controlled the ball, from the center line to the opponent''s penalty area, Gerrard''s anti-robbing range is very large, and although he can''t play defense In addition to the forward consciousness of the type midfielder, the pure defensive interception ability cannot match the top defensive midfielder, such as Makelele. However, a player who plays the shadow forward position in today''s football, I am afraid that no one can have the defensive ability. Comparable to Gerrard, his running range and defensive effect completely push the England team''s defense line to the offensive first line!


    Scholes, Beckham, Lampard, and the three have been fixed midfield partners since three and a half years ago. Both offense and defense cooperated with each other. Hargreaves behind him replaced Bart. His defensive ability and impetus are all now. It was more than Bart two years ago. It can be said that after the lack of McManaman, Aldridge started to support Rooney, but began to test Gerald''s main force half a year ago. This change has dramatically improved the England team''s front. Field hardness!


    There is confrontation!


    To run, to run!


    Have physical fitness!


    In terms of combat style, the Three Lions are slightly retro, that is, the beauty of wildness, muscle confrontation, and the thunderstorm sweeping the thunder, and a new violent aesthetic debuted at the European Cup!


    Compared to the withdrawal of the England team''s defense line at the World Cup two years ago, it was cold and tightly grasping each offensive and defensive conversion rhythm to play a lightning counterattack. Now the England team has stirred the entire midfield upside down, looks messy, but there is a faint A magnificent momentum!


    The defense of England is mainly blocked by Zidane, alerting the opponent to attack from the left.


    Coincidentally, in the process of continuous adjustment and revision, the England team is slightly similar to the French tactical routine, which is the backcourt offensive.


    France¡¯s right-back Galas has an average offensive ability. On the England side, because of Southgate¡¯s old age, Aldridge did not dare to let the team¡¯s bilateral defender resolutely plug in, so he established a left attack. In the right defense system, Neville is mainly defensive on the right, and Beckham is given the right attack.


    The left attack is handed over to Lampard and Ashley Cole, and because Lampard is not an Indian side player, the only real side impact is Ashley Cole. This is the same as the French team using Lizarazu Basically, it is a routine. Lizarazu will cooperate with the left-wing Zidane, and the offensive cooperation of Lampard and Ashley Cole is very similar.


    England managed to contain the French offensive in the midfield!


    Whenever trying to pass through midfield, Zidane was blocked very tightly. If Zidane withdrew deeply and organized the attack, then whether Zidane himself was in the frontcourt, or Zidane organized before rushing forward Waiting for the return of teammates, the England team can push the French team''s control team into desperation, making them unable to complete the frontcourt cooperation with their teammates!


    Especially Pires, he played right-wing forward today, not to mention how the right-footer will play when he returns to the right, he must get the ball first!


    Zidane itself has the habit of leaning forward and left. Pires is difficult to get Galas¡¯ backcourt support on this side, and Pires¡¯ habit of running on the left side just needs him to be completely reversed on the right side. To adapt, so Pire no matter what happens after catching the ball, or running to meet the position, Mo said that the outside world feels awkward, he feels uncomfortable.


    The defending champion France team came up with the impression that it was too late to enter the game. It was always a beat slower than England. The ball could not be found. When the ball was answered, it was bound to be stolen. The organization of the attack did not see smoothness. Screen.


    "The England team completely suppressed the French team in the scene. The French team seems to have not yet woken up. Their overall response is slow. Is the English player running too fast and too fierce, or other reasons?"


    "Maybe, one thing is for sure. Pires played right forward. He didn''t play this position at Arsenal. Galas played right back. Galas also played at Chelsea. The French attack on the right is like a paralysis. There is no threat on the right side. England¡¯s players have good physical fitness and a wide range of activities. Especially this group of midfielders can attack and defend well. The defensive interception ability is stronger than two years ago. In the case of the French team paralyzed on the right, the stadium The actual defensive area inside has become smaller. The England team dominates the scene. It¡¯s no surprise that there is something strange. That¡¯s because England seems to be determined to blow up the opponent¡¯s right defense. I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a wise thing. Act of!"


    That''s right, after the opening, all offensives in England are developed to the left of the front court!


    Ashley Cole walked outside and Lampard formed a response in the left midfield area. Pire couldn''t stop Ashley Cole''s forward insertion. It can even be said that Pire moved to this side. Defensive habits will also be affected.


    Whether it is from the back of the backcourt or the success of the midfield interception and then forward, the England team played on the left, but Ashley Cole passed the ball with a few passes and the quality of the ball was not high. No threat was created in the restricted area.


    Santini was so disappointed on the coach seat that he was still ambitious before the match. This mother''s start of the game was only 10 minutes, and it immediately thrilled him!


    He stood up and walked to the side of the court, making important demands on Lizarazu.


    Zidane wanted to complete the "retreat backcourt" in front of the England team and then "plug in the response", and then threatened England''s goal.


    Too bad to put the England team in the eye!


    Santini has full confidence in the French team''s technical and tactical system.


    At least they really killed in the qualifiers. The enemies were frightened by what they passed!


    It is a pity that they are just abusing vegetables!


    Abuse of food cannot be a god!


    In other words, no matter what formation the French team plays, how to arrange troops, the opponent is Cyprus, basically can win!


    Of course, if you put out a 0-0-10 formation or a striker to play as a guard, it''s a nonsense, that''s another matter.


    Today, Gerrard provided a crazy anti-robbing in the frontcourt. In a sense, the French team''s backline and the frontcourt were frozen, making them afraid to act rashly.


    Zidane retreated even if he took the ball, there was almost no forward point, and Piley¡¯s timing was not at the same pace as Zidane, and Henry¡¯s running trajectory seemed to have no tacit agreement with Zidane, Henry La By the way, Zidane wanted to pass on the middle road, Henry withdrew from the middle road, and Zidane seemed to be looking for side support.


    Galas had been under a lot of pressure since the opening, and the assist itself was not his strength. Now, he is a little embarrassed. Santini has a terrible look. He knows that to activate the French team''s attack, Lizarazu must play more. Important role!


    With the dissatisfaction of Santini''s face, Lizarazu boldly assisted to step forward!


    Seeing this and this scene, Aldridge''s eyes lit up on the side of the field, full of a color that was unclear.


    Not only he, but also the players on the English court were shocked!


    Lizarazu drove the ball quickly from the left and made him wonder that England''s crazy interception resistance did not appear in front of him.


    As he progressed, the England team''s defense line continued to retreat, and the midfielder was also rapidly retreating. Lizarazu passed the midfield and constantly observed changes in the situation on the court.


    He seemed to be isolated!


    Zidane tried to run to the middle, but suddenly went to the left and came to the right front of Lizalazu, but Scholes stuck the pass line. Henry could not run to the side. At the same time, he and Trezeguet looked for opportunities in and out of the penalty zone, while Pire was a little confused on the other side, not knowing what to do.


    In the eyes of Lizarazu, the French offensive team was completely enveloped by the England team, forming a double encirclement. Only he is at an independent offensive point and will face Gary Neville who is pressed to rob him.


    Lack of contact point, Lizarazu hesitated for a moment and hurriedly passed the ball, the ball was not good, the ball did not rise, was cleared by Campbell header at the previous point, the ball that was ejected was directly forwarded by Scholes The running position is obtained, and the ball goes forward without losing speed.


    Scholes dribbling fast, he passed the ball directly to the middle zone, Gerald was behind Vieira looking for a chance to intercept the ball, but Gerald kicked the ball and knocked the ball to the right.


    Beckham''s hurricane rush on the set edge!


    Lizarazu behind him couldn''t keep up!


    Santini''s eyes widened, seeing the offensive of the England team broke out across the board, and the French team''s defense was not particularly tight, because Lizarazu should have guarded the left side, no one!


    Aldridge raised his mouth slightly, clenching his fists subconsciously.


    Santini, do you think Lizzarazu is still Lizzarazu 6 years ago?


    The best left back in French history, he is 34 years old this year!


    How could he still eat all by himself?


    Even if Beckham''s dribbling speed is not particularly fast, the 29-year-old Beckham still has a clear advantage over Lizarazu who can''t keep up with his physical fitness in a short time!


    Lizarazu is chasing, but the distance between him and Beckham is always kept 5 meters away, and there is no sign of shortening!


    England is waiting for such an attack!


    At the opening, hitting the left, it is to lead the snake out of the hole. Let Lizzarazu come out. Since it comes out, don¡¯t waste your energy to chase it. You can¡¯t catch up!

 Chapter 997： Shock debut!

    The three-lion legion under Aldrich has always been known as a "passionate group of lions". Even if they were anti-counterfeit before the end of the World Cup, they also invested a lot of troops in the counterattack. The scene of running and sprinting is extremely shocking.


    After the World Cup, the tactics of crazy encirclement in the frontcourt were changed, as if to abrupt the spirit of the Three Lions, fighting, tenacious, and brave!


    When Beckham took the ball through the half, the situation of the offensive and defensive comparison between England and France began to become clear.


    The England team has 5 players.


    Irving, Gerrard, Beckham, Lampard, Scholes.


    The French team also has 5 players on defense.


    Vieira, Makelele, Sylvester, Thuram, Galas.


    The England team has room to move forward, and from the point of view of the offensive advancement, it is where the opponent''s defense is slightly weaker.


    Lizarazu is not in the left back position, England''s Beckham is rushing forward along the wing.


    This first requires the French team to move the defensive formation smoothly from the other side to the side of England''s main attack.


    However, during the move, the space will become larger!


    Because the movement between players will not be synchronized in the absolute sense!


    If you add a single player defense to actively move, the space will become larger.


    For example, at this time, Vieira did not dare to allow Beckham to set the bottom smoothly. In this way, the French team''s defense will be withdrawn. Beckham''s cross-ball threat is huge. At the same time, the defense line is withdrawn and the penalty area is empty. !


    So he moved laterally to block Beckham. Beckham did not wait for Vieira to pass the ball close, and Scholes, who was following, took the ball and continued to move forward.


    The England team is almost an engineering midfielder.


    However, the midfield of engineers does not mean that there is really no talent.


    For example, midfielders such as Scholes, Lampard, Gerrard, they are threatened after inserting them, why?


    Plugging in is not as simple as running up!


    The insertion of a huge threat means that the player has a strong sense of consciousness to catch the air.


    Perhaps their ability to handle the ball in a small area is not delicate and refined. However, there is a lot of such excellent players in the England team when it comes to capturing the free time and inserting the offensive ability.


    Scholes is, Lampard is, Gerald, too!


    When Scholes took the ball forward, Vieira immediately went back to defend Scholes. The latter quickly passed the ball back to the right, Beckham''s front!


    Vieira knew she couldn''t stop the opponent''s forward offensive.


    Beckham brought the ball to the side of the line that was parallel to the line of the big penalty area.


    The timing of his kicking was very good. At the moment when Sylvester tried to block him, the defensive distance between Silvester and Thuram''s central defender in the penalty area expanded.


    Beckham''s passing ball is in this area!


    Irving, who is rushing to the front, is running behind the goal. He is a player with an excellent position awareness, otherwise he cannot become a top pure shooter, and his movement is not only a response at a distance, but also attractive. Thuram moves defensively to create an unprecedented role for teammates.


    Gerald is fiercely killed!


    When Sylvester turned and looked back, he suddenly saw Gerald leaping high, a standard head-shake posture that pushed the ball towards the goal!


    The ball flew to the middle of the goal and the lower right direction. Gerrard was fully prepared. The header pressed the ball down and refracted obviously.


    Although the goalkeeper Bartz is in a good position, but the distance is close, the ball is pushed down very well, and the speed is not slow. He hurriedly laid his hands to the right to block the ball.


    However, he did not hold the ball!


    The butterman goalkeeper who was abandoned by Manchester United seemed to block the ball, the ball was rebounded by the unloading force, and was still in the small penalty area and in front of the goal midway!


    At the beginning of the run, Irving judged that the landing point will not be at the moment when the ball flew out. He stopped and then prepared for a supplementary shot when Gerrard headered the goal. This is the top. Sagittarius awareness!


    Thuram never thought that the ball would bounce in the small penalty area, but was blocked by his own goalkeeper. He blocked Owen behind him with his sense of experience and was ready to make a siege. However, Owen was faster than him. Owen reluctantly even with this 32-year-old The still tough tough guy is fighting against the body, grabbing the position, and pressing down on the center of gravity of the body, grabbing shots in a way similar to a shovel!


    He is half a step faster than Thuram!


    The ball was shot by him and flew into the bottom right corner of the goal!


    Irving quickly got up and ran to celebrate, Gerald followed with a look of joy, the Bright Stadium in Lisbon, the Three Lions shocked and announced that they participated in the **** of the European Cup!


    "Owen set the first record for the England team! The French team''s defense performance was too bad, Lizarazu''s assists could not go back and forth, the goalkeeper Bartez let go, no wonder the French media thought Bartez should sit on the bench! He was abandoned by Manchester United It¡¯s not without reason. Such a scenario has appeared many times. Now, this lost goal is likely to cause his status as the main goalkeeper in the French team! The England team has improved its overall mobility and defense than two years ago. Hardness, and the players appear confident and calm on the field. They are not anxious. They seem to be confident. Offensive and defensive are very purposeful. Sometimes they look messy, but in fact they know how to play. Everything is in order!"


    Santini almost shouted, the development process of this ball is indeed very dangerous, but Gerard is not a positive Indian striker after all, the threat of heading is there, the angle is not absolutely tricky, this ball, at least 30% of the responsibility is on For Bartz, if he holds the ball, or handles it better, instead of the goalkeeper taboo the ball in the penalty area, and it is in the middle! Then this ball should not be dropped!


    Perhaps because the goalkeeper was particularly conspicuous, Santini did not think about the relevance of England''s offensive.


    No matter how much Aldridge is, he nodded on the sidelines, Gerald''s efforts in his eyes, especially in the implementation of tactics, Gerrard performed perfectly.


    With his ability, he can withdraw deeper defense and play with his subjective consciousness. Just now he may miss the header and just wait for his teammate to pass the ball outside the penalty area, but Aldridge let him To play a shadow striker, when he needs to advance into the penalty area, he must do it, and he did it!


    The main idea of ??using Gerrard''s offensive ability is also his ability to catch the empty plug.


    The England team took the lead to break the goal. Aldridge did not allow the team to close back, but waved to let the team speed up the rhythm more, and the counter-attack force in the frontcourt was increased!


    The Three Lions are more powerful. The French team is behind to counterattack, and will take the initiative to speed up the game. However, they still have not solved how the offense of the midfield should run smoothly.


    In particular, the England team is crazy to fight back, and they will not give them too much time to observe, think, and judge!


    Fast-paced games, tacit understanding of the team, a team''s system operation is a higher test.


    In theory, the French team can achieve balance. Putting players in each role as a textbook is not balanced?


    Unfortunately, Santini is not Aldridge.


    He has no highest authority in the French team!


    Aldridge asked Gerrard to go to the wing. Gerrard didn''t complain, he just said a word.


    "Coach, what should I do?"


    If Santini said to Zidane: "Don''t retreat, the midfield and backcourt organization is handed over to Vieira, and you are waiting for the frontcourt organization in the front waist area."


    Will Zidane listen to him?


    Or Santini let Henry go to the winger, don''t play the center, Henry will listen to him?


    Santini drummed up an asymmetrical 442 formation, he may think that his vision is perfect, but when confronted with England¡¯s fierce anti-robbing and strict defense system, their midfield and frontcourt are completely fragmented. The unbalanced frontline formation is completely dismembered!


    Or it can be compared in this way. The French team two years later, although Zidane still attacked left, but at least the front court system is balanced, Malouda, Ribery, Henry, two sides, center position , This is at least a roughly fixed routine.


    And today?


    The French team wants to make an unstoppable attack on the left, which must rely on conscious cooperation.


    Lizarazu, Zidane, Henry, and any two of them can cooperate on the left and may all play a threatening offensive. However, this kind of cooperation based on player awareness, especially the cooperation between the two may be very good, three people There will be an absolute conflict!


    Completely lucky!


    Moreover, Lizarazu¡¯s defensive problems have also been exposed. That is to say, Henry does not play as a winger. The French team wants to make an article on the left. That can only be done by Zidane alone!


    The problem faced by Henry is that he can pull the side, but if the team does not use the front midfield space enough, if the front midfield area is not contained, England¡¯s defensive center of gravity will move to the side at the same time, then the French team will be completely sidelined. The offense is in a desperate situation. In itself, the sideline is a defensive line.


    Therefore, although the French team also has a history of contradictions in the locker room, today, what is happening to them is that the players have more and more contradictions in the tactical system, not to mention the solitary pire of the cold on the right.


    After losing the ball, the French team made a counterattack. At this time, Santini carefully observed the team''s attack today, and his face became more dignified.


    Zidane is actually similar to Pirlo, Harvey, and other core organizations. He must have a strong defensive midfielder behind him. At the same time, when he is in a dangerous situation, he will be rescued, and the offense will be activated to liberate Zidane. .


    The concept of the French team is also the same, but this system has been used for a long time. Winning the World Cup 6 years ago is already a strategy for double-waist protection. Six years later, it is still the same. The opponent must have in the targeted restriction arrangement. Prepared.


    This is the case in England. Restricting Zidane mainly restricts his space, not grabbing his ball. It is well known in the world that the purpose of restricting space is to block Zidane''s contact with his teammates.


    In this dilemma, Vieira or Makelele stepped forward to continue to promote the development of the offense, and then wait for Zidane to run, and the offense can be rejuvenated.


    However, the England team restricted the opponent''s midfield to a significant number of people today!


    Scholes, Gerrard, Lampard, Beckham, these four people alone, not counting Hargreaves who is in front of the cutting position, Zidane wants to make a short distance in the midfield. It was really difficult for Vieira or Makelele to make an offensive push. If the score went to the side, Gallas had an average assist ability. The situation changed completely after Lizarazu went up and down. The England team was 35 yards in front of the goal. Before the line, Lizarazu was not intercepted at all, but Lizarazu was blocked from his teammates.


    Santini looked more and more bottomless on the sidelines. He vaguely felt that the French team seemed to be caught in the trap of England!


    The England team is always forcing the French team to reveal their fate!

 Chapter 998： The captain suddenly called the curtain

    After all, Pires is a first-class player. Even in a non-club position, he will be awkward and uncomfortable, but he gradually shows up after a short period of adaptation, and his sense of presence in the frontcourt becomes stronger.


    Twenty minutes after the first half, Pire made two consecutive passes to create Trezeguet''s header. Although there was no goal, the threat came out.


    The other striker on the French front, Henry, was gradually lost.


    Henry needs one of two things to play. Either there is room or there is a pass.


    Pires was looking for Trezeguet in the cross from the right, and Henry is not good at headers.


    And Henry is on the left side of the front line. If Lizarazu does not come on the backcourt on this side, Zidane will face a strong attack on this side, and it will be difficult for Henry to get the support of his teammates.


    It can be seen that the England team cut the French team''s offensive formation in the frontcourt, so that they can form a connection locally, but there is no way to activate all points globally!


    Along with Pires''s "awakening", the French team suffered frequent setbacks on the left, so the team took the initiative to turn the center of attack to Pires'' side. Pires also began to add other offensive methods based on the cross, such as bringing his own The ball cuts inside.


    In the 31st minute, Ashley Cole stepped forward to assist and launched a threat offensive. After the ball passed Lampard, Scholes transferred the ball and quickly hit the front line. Gerrard stopped in front of Sylvester The ball chose to hit the goal, but the ball missed the goal post, unfortunately missed the goal.


    The French team immediately launched an offensive, and behind Ashley Cole, Zidane''s midfielder passed the attack. Unfortunately, the long pass found an empty, but the ball passed a bit deep.


    Near the bottom line, Pires rushed to catch the ball, while Southgate directly pointed Ashley Cole to signal the opponent to return to the defense to run down the waistline, and Hargreaves retreated to fill his own defense. position.


    The situation was clear at a glance. If Hargreaves went to the bottom line of the defense, the time was too late. When he rushed over, Pire had already traversed into the restricted area. He had to form a frontal interception before Pire adjusted it. Deterrence, otherwise he might pass a beautiful pass.


    Southgate arranged everything in an instant and rushed towards Pire. Trezegue captured the air behind him and waited for Pire to send him a good biography.


    He looked forward to Pires not to stop the ball, do not adjust, it is better to sweep the ball directly into the penalty area, so that before Hargreaves is in place, he can receive the ball!


    Southgate had just ran out of the restricted area and suddenly stumbled under his feet. This outbreak sprinted to help defense. He did not expect a sudden situation!


    Suddenly, there was a continuous tingling on the back of the right thigh, and the pain was deep, making him pale and cold.


    "It seems that Southgate was injured! His messy steps slowed down markedly, staggering like he was about to fall!"


    Pire also intends to pass directly, but after taking the ball and glancing at Southgate''s obvious strain, he changed his mind again!


    Get into the restricted area!


    At this time, Southgate was only 3 steps away from Pire, Pire slanted the ball and changed direction, Southgate finally fell!


    However, Southgate fell on the course of Piret''s redirection, and stretched his arm to hit the ball under Piret''s foot!


    After all this was done, Southgate made a substitution gesture towards the sidelines, then lay on his back on the turf, covering his face with his hands.


    The ball, which was deliberately opened by his hand, was out of Pire''s control, and Lampard returned to the defense to kick the ball out of the sideline with a big foot.


    Pires and some French players excitedly raised their hands to the referee to signal that Southgate was intentionally handballing!


    On the route where Piret rushed to the head referee, Lampard blocked him. Without saying a word, he used his body to stop him from protesting to the head referee. Pires pushed Lampard away...


    Santini also protested to the fourth official on the sidelines, thinking that Southgate''s foul should be shown a red card!


    Aldridge stood on the sidelines, his lines still, his head buzzing, his expression suddenly sad.


    "Southgate is injured! He is injured! This is a non-confrontational injury. Such injuries are generally serious injuries! The captain who led England to the World Cup championship is 34 years old in 3 months. In the past season, he has worked steadily at Millwall. However, he is no longer 24 years old and 30 years old. His body has been unable to make him stick to such a fierce competition for a long time. This strain is not Occasionally, even if Sir Hall rested many of the main players before the European Cup, it still could not offset the 9 months of continuous combat fatigue accumulation! Once confirmed as a serious injury, the Southgate European Cup ended and ended at the same time. Yes, there may be his national team career, because, in the next World Cup, he will be nearly 36 years old!"


    The referee showed a yellow card to Southgate who had been covering his face with his hands on the turf, which still made the French team resentful. Probably the referee considered the injury factor of Southgate''s fall before he will show mercy, in other words, If Southgate is shown a red card in the case of serious injuries, the game may be completely out of control, because the England team will inevitably be unable to accept this cruel penalty.


    When the team doctor entered to diagnose Southgate''s injury, Henry did not participate in the dispute between the two teams. He squatted next to Southgate and reached out and patted Southgate''s shoulder gently.


    The English fans in the stands were collectively silent.


    They stared at the place where Southgate was lying.


    The captain of England can no longer burn life for the Three Lions!


    Everyone knows that the European Cup is Southgate¡¯s last stage for England.


    This fall, he will be 34 years old.


    The England defender line will be updated, Ferdinand, Chelsea captain Terry, Liverpool defender Carragher, Arsenal defender Campbell, Premier League top team each have one person, and Millwall¡¯s Southgate represents an era. The end of the, a glorious peak memory.


    After thinking of becoming a criminal who lost a penalty in the local European Cup, Southgate led his team to the top of the world two years ago. Southgate completed the redemption and fulfilled his duties.


    He is the captain of the Three Lions.


    A great captain who is forever remembered in history.


    Aldrich¡¯s sad expression originated from here. With many years of coaching experience, he does not need to be notified by the team doctor. He can foresee that this time Southgate fell, not only the national team''s curtain call, but also the possibility of recovering from serious injuries. After that, Millwall completely retreated to the second line!


    Ecstasy, nothing more!


    Aldrich could never have imagined that the goodbye of Southgate and the Three Lions Legion was not the illusion of fulfillment, but the sadness at the moment.


    When he was lifted off the stretcher by the stretcher, Southgate still covered his face unwilling to let the outside world see his expression, but when he was lifted close to the side of the court, he straightened up and lowered his hands.


    At this time, his face was photographed by the camera, with tears on his eyes and red eyes. He took off the captain''s armband and turned his head to look aside. Beckham came over and Southgate personally put on the captain for him The armband, then, he didn''t lie down again, lowered his head, raised his hands and applauded toward the grandstand, tears dripping down his chin.


    From the moment the stretcher was lifted, the Lisbon Bright Stadium has been applauded, without cheers, no shouts, English fans either showing concern, or clapping with solemn expression, has not stopped.


    It wasn''t until Southgate applauded to thank the fans that the stands boiled again, like a roar of a lion, shouting.


    The spirit of the Three Lions will never die!


    Aldridge came to the player channel when Southgate was lifted off the court. When the mentor and apprentice passed each other, Aldridge reached out and patted him on the back without saying a word.


    He didn''t know what to say.


    Going back to the sidelines, England will make substitutions before the French team sets the ball. Terry is preparing to play. Audrey explained two words beside Terry and then watched Terry come off the bench.


    "England made a passive substitution, captain Southgate left the field due to injury, and Terry from Chelsea took the place of Southgate. The Chelsea defender has made great progress in the past two years. Coincidentally, Terry¡¯s growth is inseparable from his study with the famous French de Seli, hoping that he can maintain psychological stability in this scene today."


    Southgate¡¯s injury made Audridge a bit caught off guard. At least the England team¡¯s tactics must be changed.


    Guards change to guards, but the characteristics are different.


    It can be said that the central defenders of the England team have almost the same characteristics. Only Southgate has played in Millwall for ten years. The styles and characteristics are very different. He is not a perfect defender. He lacks the resistance to positive impact. Rezege can successfully fight for the header under his defense, so Southgate''s partner, whether it is the national team or the club, must match a brave tyrant, but he also has his own specialty, that is to predict the interception, Replenishment assist defense, whether it is to grab or postpone, he has done a good job, only the point-to-point frontal impact is slightly weaker.


    In Aldridge''s central defender match, as far as possible complementary to each other, Southgate strangles the opponent''s counterattack and command the role of defense, no one can replace the England team.


    The combination of Campbell and Terry, Terry replaces Southgate, the advantage is that Terry beats Southgate fiercely, in the point-to-point marking Trezeguet, Terry should be able to do better than Southgate, but, if encountered To the delicate attack, the fast and smooth team cooperates with the impact, Terry or Campbell. The hidden attack strangling against the opponent will be better than Southgate.


    Under such circumstances, if England wants to prevent the French team''s delicate offensive style, it needs to compress the backcourt space. There is Southgate, and the front is madly robbed. Even if there is some space in the backcourt, Southgate''s flexibility will be well contained. The opponent''s penetrating attack, but without the proper defense of Southgate, Campbell and Terry, is likely to expose the goal.


    While Aldridge was thinking about how to adjust, the French team took a free kick from the right outside the penalty area.


    Terry touched the ball on the court, Zidane''s pass from the ball hung up to the door, Terry pressured Treze to cover the header!


    The ball that bounced off the side of the penalty area was preempted by Gary Neville. Before Neville touched the ball, Beckham ran to the right. Neville cooperated with him in a tacit manner and kicked the ball to Beckham. In front of you.


    Beckham did not stick the ball before Makelele''s snatch. He passed the ball over a long distance and passed the ball directly to the empty zone exposed by the French defense.


    The Irving wind at the top generally rushed forward. Although the England team is also in transition, the old bank has not lost, and the counterattack is still fast and accurate!


    This is a long diagonal pass. Irving ran to the left. Garras, who was defending on this side, went up for the header and is now returning to the defense, but it seems impossible to interfere with Irving.


    Owen brought the ball to the edge of the penalty area and knocked it back again, followed by Lampard who stopped the ball, pulled the ball horizontally to get rid of Vieira who was back, and before Vieira squeezed his lower foot with the body to steal the ball Forward right.


    Gerrard stopped the ball, Lizarazu and Sylvester were closing the defense, Gerrard suddenly broke the ball and moved diagonally. He was already in the penalty area and he brought the ball to the right side of the small penalty area Out of the angle of the goal and a strong cross to sweep the ball towards the center of the goal!


    Owen, who is very alert, shoots the ball in front of the goal, but Bartz is powerless!


    Thuram stomped angrily and shook his hand to express his dissatisfaction!


    I think my player''s defense is too slow!


    In the case of space, Owen''s running forward from the outside, Thuram can''t stop it!

 Chapter 999： Transformation

    "England faced the French team, 1:0 is a fragile advantage to the limit, but now, they turned the score into 2:0, two goals ahead of the defending champion France! The French team may not be shown at Southgate The red card was a bit unbalanced, and the England team was stimulated after the meritorious captain retired due to injury. The French team¡¯s free kick failed to break the England team¡¯s gate, but instead gave the England team a start from the backcourt. The fatal counterattack of England, the counterattack of the England team has always been simple and direct. This has been eye-opening in the World Cup. Neville passed the ball to Beckham. Beckham made a long pass to find Owen. Owen took the ball to the depth and the offense quickly developed to The danger zone of the French team does not give their front players the opportunity to return to the defense line. They must praise Lampard¡¯s rushing speed from the backcourt and the calmness of his pass to Gerrard. Gerrard and Club teammate Owen completed a match, Gerrard crossed the goal after a diagonal breakthrough, Owen outflanked the score, England''s best shooter scored twice, and the Three Lions led by two goals!"


    Although Irving and Gerrard ran back and forth to celebrate, Aldridge did not show much joy on the sidelines, and his expression beckoned to Scholes in the court.


    The England team''s counterattack has always been orderly and structured.


    As soon as Lampard rushed up, Scholes did not rush again, otherwise in case of a counterattack, England''s midfield and backcourt defense will be empty.


    So Beckham, Lampard, they ran to celebrate, Scholes was far away, he was going to run over there, but when he fisted and snarled, he saw Aldridge beckoning at him, with a stunned expression, and then trot to Sidelines.


    When the outside world kept praising Aldridge and praised him how great he was, Aldridge was very calm.


    He can be said to have the advantage of "cheating" in arranging troops, knowing people well, and wisely understanding the beads.


    However, there is a head coach''s ability, Aldridge said humbly: because of the situation and the decision, no one can win me!


    This ability was a self-breakthrough when Aldridge summed up a miserable defeat after the defeat of Munich in 1999.


    Over time, people will still describe Millwall''s 99-year defeat in Munich as a regret. However, Audridge repeatedly remembered the defeat at that time, and he felt more and more self-blame. Millwall fell before the penalty shootout. The biggest reason is that he Instead of taking the initiative to seize the fate, it became waiting for the fate trial, so since then, even if the initiative to change is ultimately a failure, wrong, he does not care, at least, death, he died clearly!


    When the England team scored again, they led 2:0.


    Aldrich didn''t wait and see, he made adjustments decisively, and did not have the slightest influence on the change of score.


    After Scholes came to Aldridge, Aldridge said to him: "Paul, Gareth''s injury makes us have to adjust the midfield and backcourt. Can you trust me?"


    Scholes nodded without hesitation.


    Aldridge asked again: "Are you willing to make sacrifices for the team? We are open and honest, you are not willing, I can understand, because if you feel against it, even if you do it according to my requirements, it is not helpful to the team, but There may be hidden dangers."


    Scholes was also nearly 30 years old. In the national team, he trusted Aldridge because Aldridge helped them succeed and because Aldridge would not be difficult for a strongman.


    He had the same reaction with Gerrard in his new position, asking: "Coach, what do I need to do specifically? I believe your professional ability will not use me wrongly, sacrifice? As long as we can win, we can win, You say it, I listen to you."


    Aldridge nodded, and his expression did not change. Next, Scholes made a tactical adjustment in a short period of time. Ginger head concentrated and nodded while listening.


    Scholes understood Aldrich''s request and returned to the field. He had a brief exchange with Lampard before the kick-off to ensure that the midfield and backcourt adjustments would not be confused.


    After the French team kicked off again, Scholes'' position withdrew, and his position was only a little bit ahead of Hargreaves, somewhat similar to a post-organization, and left to the front.


    In the national team, Scholes has been Aldridge''s midfielder and played a central midfielder role while defending.


    Now, he is actually playing a midfielder, playing a role similar to Millwall''s now Alonso.


    This change, on the one hand, compresses the gap between the back line and the back line, on the other hand, it also fills the quality of defense on the side of Southgate''s injury.


    The root cause is actually that there were no left-side players with good offensive and defensive skills in England during this period.


    Although Joe Cole is offensively talented and can play on the left, he does not have the help Beckham has on the right to the defense.


    England now wants Scholes to organize licensing in the midfield and backcourt, sort out the midfield, the frontcourt play will become a wing attack, mainly Beckham on the right, Ashley on the left. In order to promote the main force, Cole has Owen''s impact depth at the top. Gerrard attacks at two points behind Owen or inserts players to the back. The task of inserting the back row is handed to Lampard.


    Because there is no player with good offense and defense on the left, Ashley Cole has a side-by-side take. There will be hidden dangers when attacking. Pire gradually finds the feeling and gradually plays a threat. The defense on this side must have someone. To fill in, Terry blocked Trezegue point-to-point, but the blockage plugged in the back row required Scholes to intercept it. Hargreaves alone is absolutely impossible!


    Scholes has the ability to play this position. The only question is whether he is willing to be arranged by the coach. He himself will not know that after two years in the original history, his position at Manchester United will retreat. The task is now assigned to him by Aldrich.


    If he feels conflicted in his heart, he will definitely not meet expectations.


    Now Aldridge let him play like this, he can wait for the dispatch, Aldridge did not appreciate the sadness or insist on praising Scholes, this is itself a player''s professional quality should have.


    I am the coach, you are the emperor superstar, and you should listen to me!


    But Aldridge has always been an enlightened coach, he is willing to communicate with the players, he does not want to embarrass the players, you are uncomfortable, you can not meet my requirements, I am uncomfortable, why bother?


    Players who have played under Aldridge, no matter the national team or club, from a purely competitive perspective, no player will complain about Aldridge. He never gives players exceptional requirements. Now he has authority, even if he gives players Given some unusual instructions, the player accepted it with pleasure. Like Gerrard, he would not think that Aldridge did not understand how to use him. Instead, he would think: Is the coach using me like this to inspire me?


    Everyone believes in Aldridge''s unique vision.


    After the change of England, the overall strategy and tactics system is very similar to the French team.


    The French team does not have a left-back, nor does the England team.


    The England team has a double midfielder, and the French team has a double midfielder.


    There are two intuitive differences. The French team is a double center! The England team is a pure shooter with a pseudo forward!


    Another point is that the French team''s midfield organization relies on Zidane, behind the double waist to **** or cope.


    The England team organized the midfield in front of the single midfielder, and then an extra Lampard was more offensively oppressed than Vieira or Makelele.


    After adjustment, England needs a period of internal adaptation, so in the first half, England did not speed up the game rhythm, mainly to stabilize the midfielder to attack slowly, trying to find the French team''s aggressive or impatient defense flaw.


    The French team suffered a stronger midfield attack by the England team in the attack. When Lizarazu did not dare to take the risk and Galas came up with an average effect, the French team¡¯s own frontcourt system was also unbalanced. Their The offensive game was a mess. Zidane had several highlights of personal ball control, but he could not drive the French team to play a beautiful and smooth offensive.


    "At the end of the first half, the Shinco World Cup champion England unexpectedly led the European Cup defending champion France 2-0! Overall, the situation on the court, the English team is running more smoothly than the French team, the French team looks like it is Putting all the burden on Zidane, the number one striker Henry of Europe, as always, has been sluggish in the competition. In the first half, he did nothing and touched the ball very few times. Henry had reason to complain and was born in Arsenal. If Shuiqi Pire is on the left, he will certainly be able to give him more offensive support, but Santini arranged Pire on the right, and it seems that there are not many unexpected effects for the time being, and Pire¡¯s performance is also better than that. Not as powerful as he played on the left at Arsenal. In contrast, the offensive of the England team is smooth. The players play their roles, especially on the offensive end. The distribution of offense points is reasonable and orderly. The pressure they bring to the French team is conceivable. I know. There is still 45 minutes left for the French team to catch up with the score. I hope that the French team will have the momentum of the defending champion in the second half!"


    Aldridge returned to the locker room to emphasize the tactical play in the second half. It can be said that the departure of Southgate forced Aldridge to modify the tactical details in a short time, which will be very important for the future European Cup journey.


    In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought.


    Santini also made changes.


    Henry pulls the edge and the left winger.


    Although the overall structure of the French team is still asymmetric, at least the system looks quite satisfactory.


    Aldridge is not worried about this. The French team is going downhill because of a lack of talent.


    Changes in the back line have caused them to become two parts in front and back. Backcourt defense and frontcourt offense are no longer a large team mode with front and back.


    The old Lizarazu has learned his lesson in the first half, and Gallas was not a strong offensive linebacker, which led to the lack of front-to-back and deep tears in the French team''s attack, and more unexpected soldiers.


    At the time, Thuram was on the right back, Lizarazu was on the left, and the French team had Zidane in the middle. In 1998, the French team, which claimed to have no forwards, was able to play very smoothly. The threat inserted in the back row made the opponent undefeated. Now, the advantages of the past are diminishing.


    However, Henry pulled to the side, corresponding to Pires on the other side. First of all, he could tear the England team''s defense horizontally. This threat cannot be underestimated.


    In the 54th minute of the game, Henry got a pass from Zidane on the left and accelerated horizontally in front of Gary Neville. When he encountered Hargreaves in front of the big penalty area, the ball was returned to the inward Qi. Dane, who shot with a shot and hit the beam, made a cry out.


    Aldridge''s face was ugly, and he immediately got angry on the sidelines, and his head was pointing...Beckham!


    He stared at his eyes with anger, as if he was devouring others. While staring at Beckham, he pointed his finger at the other side. When Beckham looked at him, he pointed to the direction of England''s penalty zone!


    The meaning can''t be more obvious: you **** go back to guard!


    If Lizarazu is attacked, the England team will let Lizarazu pass through the midfield. This is a consumption tactic. At the same time, it is also to create Lizarazu to greatly press and expand the space behind him.


    Beckham, you don¡¯t have to force it, just retreat and retreat.


    But after Henry pulled the edge in the second half, Neville could not help Henry alone!


    Once Henry took the ball inside and came to the Hargreaves and Campbell zone, Henry could do too much!


    Such a forward cannot give him space!


    Beckham didn''t have the first time to mark Henry!

 Chapter 1000： Finale

    Perhaps it was too easy to play in the European Cup qualifiers in the past two years, and Beckham¡¯s position has also been pushed forward from the side. He has rarely appeared in the national team game for a long time in the past. scene.


    Today his main blockade goal in the first half was his Real Madrid teammate Zidane, because of his tactics, the defense against Lizarazu was required to reduce the pressure, and the French team left the frontcourt itself no one.


    However, when Henry moved to this side in the second half, when playing a left winger in the eighth round, Aldridge did not deliberately order Beckham.


    A 29-year-old player, a player who is about to enter the later stage of his career, is not a kid. If he can''t see the changes in the French team and Henry can''t wait for a response on the wing, then he is really a big bag.


    Aldrich uses different personal indicators for players. Just like Ronaldinho, no matter how the outside world describes Aldrich as "doting" Ronaldinho, Aldrich will always have more demands on Ronaldinho!


    Yes, he does not require Ronaldinho to return to the dangerous zone of the restricted area as hard as Beckham did.


    However, he did not ask Beckham to be omnipotent in the frontcourt like Ronaldinho.


    Each player''s situation is different, and Aldridge''s use standard is only one: as many abilities as you have, give me as much as you can!


    Treating Larsen, who has served him for ten years, has either started 60-70 minutes or played 20-30 minutes off the bench, compressing his playing time, but did not reduce the requirements for him.


    Beckham is no longer famous for Aldridge.


    If he can''t run, without that defensive ability, Aldridge will not get angry, or, perhaps, will not use him!


    In the past ten years, Aldridge will criticize the players after the game, criticize them for not defending hard, or lazy attitude, but he has never criticized the player for making mistakes in defense!


    One is attitude and one is ability. There are no players who do not make mistakes, but there are players who do not work hard!


    Insufficient ability, we can communicate calmly, coaches and players work together to improve.


    If the attitude can''t satisfy Aldridge, Aldridge can really tear his face and blame it mercilessly!


    Who is the most dazzling player in the first half?


    Shuangde!


    The combined coverage of Lampard and Gerrard is almost the entire stadium!


    By contrast, Beckham and Scholes are not very conspicuous.


    This is clear from the stand, the fans'' eyes, who is running in the field, whose jersey is dirty, countless eyes can be seen.


    When Beckham was reprimanded silently by Aldrich, he did not dare to have any counterattacks. His posture was much better than before, and he began to work hard in the past.


    Although the French team seems to be balanced in the offensive system, they lack the fixed support of the real frontline. The offense from the side to the middle always seems to be weak, always relying on Henry''s single attack or Zidane''s. Individual ability.


    The England team''s front-field engineer players have a large range of back defense and can carry out a full range of front-court offenses against the French team.


    It can be said that Aldridge has brought the advantages of the English engineers to the extreme, that is, the entire audience is frantic.


    This caused some players to have too much impact, and it was easy to cause dissatisfaction with their opponents. Zidane could not break through the midfield alone. As a share of his pressure, Vieira was successively followed by Lampard and Gerrard. Encroachment, more and more resentment accumulated in my heart.


    Santini was expressionless on the sidelines and his ambitions before the game had long since vanished.


    The European Cup qualifiers of England and France are quite comfortable. The opponents of the group can not be described as not strong, which can be said to be very weak directly.


    Therefore, both teams are killing all sides, England is slightly inferior, there is a draw.


    However, the two teams were significantly different in the general direction of development and transformation of the team during this period.


    Santini is trying to activate the offensive of the French team, while Aldridge improves the defensive ability of the England team.


    The tradeoffs between the French team and the French team have not solved the offensive problems, but the England team has matured. Even if it has not been tested before, the first European Cup is a hard battle. The English team is stronger than the French team for no reason.


    After 70 minutes of the game, the French team still did not open the offensive situation. As the English team gradually improved after the midfield adjustment, the French team was irritable. Aldridge made a second substitution, but he was The first active substitution.


    Rooney has resentment when he comes to the European Cup this time.


    He thought he would be the main force, but Aldridge put him on the bench.


    If it is a better English striker than him to play the main force, he can accept.


    But Aldridge used Gerrard, a character who is not a striker in the eyes of everyone, like silently saying to the outside world that England has no forwards! Only players from other positions can make guest appearances.


    This made Rooney feel bad.


    But he had absolutely no courage to express his dissatisfaction in front of Aldridge. Even if it was a tiny bit, he would not dare!


    Aldridge asked him to warm up. In the 71st minute, when preparing to replace him, Rooney looked serious, dumped all his thoughts outside the game, and dedicated himself to the game time that belongs to him. In any case, he should play. He has to work hard.


    Aldridge gave Rooney a few words, instructing him clearly about his task after the game, and then replaced him on a dead ball opportunity.


    "England made an active substitution and today Irving, the team''s number one hero, was replaced and replaced by young teenager Wayne Rooney. This is a counter substitution."


    Irving received applause from all England fans when he got off the court. After the end, Irving and Aldridge gave a high-five. There was no verbal communication and everything was silent.


    Rooney debuts.


    Rooney and Irving are not a type of striker.


    Rooney''s ability and consciousness to play the ball is stronger than Irving, and the physical confrontation and impact are also better.


    After his appearance, his task is to further reduce the space of the French team in the backcourt ball control organization, when the attack is the arrow character.


    The French team itself has a blank area in the frontcourt. It can be said that they do not have a midfielder, while the English team has a double midfielder, plus the French team''s backcourt attack is paralyzed. England''s Beckham and Lampard Defensively squeezing the midfield space, now with Gerard and Rooney squeezing back and forth, Zidane, Vieira is almost crazy!


    They seemed to be "grouped" by the England team in all directions!


    Santini''s face was green, and in his eyes, England was **** rogue!


    A group of tough and tough guys were sent to play pure destruction!


    The game is about to come to the final period. The defense of England feels more and more stable in the second half. The French team either has a cross pass and is released by England, or Henry and Pirenec shot long from diagonally outside the penalty area. Zida There are occasional wonderful escapes but unable to complete all the defensive players in one stop, and the fleeting defensive flaws still cannot create an intuitive threat to the England team. The key is that the French team does not have much offensive force.


    The time to fight is here.


    Lizarazu accumulated his physical fitness and began to explode, and the English team also used the opponent''s backcourt defenses to attack as much as possible.


    After 80 minutes passed, England and France played two tug-of-wars, all on the side of Lizarazu and Beckham. After running up and down, Beckham''s physical advantage was revealed.


    In the 82nd minute, Beckham on the right Lu Shenglao defensively retreated to halftime to meet the enemy Lizarazu, actually rushed past him!


    Beckham took the ball to the bottom line, the quality of the pass was average, Thuram eased the clearance, Marklele controlled the ball landing point on the periphery, just passed the ball to Pire on the right side, but Pire failed to get rid of Ashley Cole, who succeeded in driving the ball all the way forward and turned inward when he came to the frontline.


    Lampard ran up, Rooney leaned over here, the three completed a triangle pass to penetrate the opponent''s midfield defense.


    Rooney''s superior advantage over Irving was revealed. He was not afraid of being approached by his opponent. When Thuram came up, he calmly moved the ball laterally. Thuram failed to knock him away at once. Although Rooney''s body was a little shaken, he Still stubbornly set the ball laterally to Gerrard.


    After taking the ball, Rooney immediately rushed into the penalty area and replaced him with his body to confront Thuram. The two engaged in physical entanglement. Rooney just confronted two sudden sudden thrusts, and Gerald put the ball straight in front. Rooney runs diagonally to catch the ball.


    Silvester turned back to defend and collided with Thuram, Thuram was about to collapse!


    This teammate, really **** a sinkhole!


    Without the harassment of the defender, Rooney turned and volleyed directly to meet the goal!


    Buttz made a wrong prediction. He blocked the near corner of the goal, but Rooney''s volley pulled out at a very large angle. The ball flew from the side of his right foot into the far corner of the goal.


    Seeing the ball progress, Rooney seemed to scream at the sidelines to celebrate.


    Probably, it looks more like a catharsis.


    Aldridge knew that Rooney was dissatisfied, and he also talked to Rooney. As for Rooney¡¯s thoughts, the other party was willing to say that he was willing to listen, only to listen. In general, Aldridge focused on the overall situation rather than taking care of it. The emotion of a certain player.


    Today, Aldridge, who was not happy at all, just closed his eyes and gently nodded twice after scoring the third goal, nothing more.


    "The England team locked the victory! Wayne Rooney, who came off the bench, scored a goal, 3: 0! We should probably pay more attention to Gerrard''s performance. All three goals today are related to him, two direct assists and one indirect Assists, he is indeed not a scoring machine or column center, but his response in front of the penalty area is very efficient. This is a major highlight of Sir Hall¡¯s tactical transformation of England in the current European Cup, and declared this by defeating the French team. The change was very successful!"


    Santini''s face was as good as his face, and Aldridge ended up with a score of 3:0.


    Use the last substitution.


    Bart, a defensive midfielder, came on to replace Gerrard, who performed well today.


    Gerrard took the initiative to hug Aldridge when he was off the court and smiled as he sat down on the bench.

 Chapter 1001： team leader

    It should have been a brilliant victory in the eyes of outsiders, but at the moment when the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Aldridge did not smile.


    He hastily shook hands with French team coach Santini and went to an interview.


    In fact, this French team is not particularly strong in Aldrich''s eyes.


    In addition to the aura of defending champions, paper strength is certainly not to be underestimated, but as far as the technical and tactical system is concerned, the French team has exposed many problems.


    Moreover, the structure of the French team is not his favorite.


    That is, all the burden is on one player.


    France with Zidane and France without Zidane are two teams.


    With the French team of Zidane, his status also directly determines the overall strength of the French team.


    This architectural model is slightly fragile.


    After completing the last substitution at 3:0, Aldridge''s mind left the court, and he was completely unhappy because of Southgate''s departure.


    He is 34 in the fall. How long does it take to recover from this injury? When will you return to the stadium next time?


    It may not just be the farewell of a captain of the England national team, the ten-year legendary captain of the Millwall Club has also reached the countdown to the curtain call.


    In an interview on the sidelines, Aldridge frowned slightly, and the interviewer found his look and asked curiously: "Through your expression, it seems that for the first game of England, the 3-0 victory over the defending champion France team is not Too satisfied?"


    Aldridge didn¡¯t look at the camera and wrote lightly: "We played well in the game. We are stronger than the French team in terms of player status and fighting spirit, so we deserve to win, 3:0 , A score that satisfies me, but this does not mean anything. The European Cup has a very frequent schedule, and the interval between the games is only 3 days. We have to turn our attention to the next match with Switzerland."


    "You seem absent-minded?"


    "Of course, there are players injured in England, our captain, Gareth Southgate, I am going to visit him now, bye."


    Aldridge turned around and left.


    As for French player Vieira''s remarks that criticized the England team''s rough play in an interview, Aldridge didn''t care at all, even his teammate Lizarazu did not agree with Vieira''s point of view.


    "I don''t think the British have done anything wrong. They just defended very well. The reality is: This is not the England team we are used to, but they haven''t done anything wrong. They just defended well."


    The players returned to the locker room one step in advance. They were celebrating this victory that should be proud and evaluated as "great".


    In the locker room, many players took off their clothes to prepare for a bath. The floor was cluttered. I don¡¯t know who turned on the stereo. I connected the player and played lyrical music. It didn¡¯t match the current atmosphere.


    Two years ago, the popular song in the British music scene "Everything is possible".


    Ashley Cole, Gerrard, and Irving sat on their shoulders and wobbled together with a soothing rhythm, singing in unison.


    "Because you have faith in me, everything is possible..."


    Aldridge didn''t intend to enter the locker room, but after hearing the singing in the locker room and the laughter of the players, he stopped and turned around and walked back, pushing the door in.


    His appearance did not cause the players to be nervous. Everything was similar to the past. Winning the game was still a big victory over France. There are some activities to celebrate self-entertainment in the locker room, which is normal.


    However, when he went to unplug the stereo, the locker room became silent.


    The players closed their mouths subconsciously, and the players who sat up also stood up, quite trembling.


    Aldrich closed his eyes and stood around the internationals of the Three Lions. Only one of the 23 people who went on this expedition was missing.


    His cold voice was spoken word by word.


    "I have my job, you, you have your job. I do my best to do my job well, and you should do my best to do your **** job to me! Do what you can do The best! It is glory to put on the national team jersey. Before glory, it is the **** responsibility!


    It''s hard to say that Aldridge is a perfectionist, but he does have a working attitude of excellence, just like Millwall''s mainstream status is winning, winning, but after the victory? Haha Hale happy celebration is over? No, of course not, there will still be coaches who point out the shortcomings of the players when summing up the game, hoping that the players will take the precautions or fail to reach the best, and strive for future improvements.


    In normal times, he will not disturb the players at this time, nor will he use such a sharp attitude, but he just couldn''t hold back, or he doesn''t think he should be patient!


    The surrounding England internationals, each bowing their heads in the last game, began to wonder if they had made mistakes in the game and to reflect on themselves.


    Most of the players who didn''t play have turned their attention to Beckham, because during the process of Aldridge''s command of the game, the only anger was against Beckham. These players saw the bench clearly.


    Aldridge ignored the chilling internationals and walked straight out of the door.


    Beckham chased out the first time.


    In the hallway outside the door, Beck said to Aldridge''s back, "Coach, I..."


    Aldridge turned around horrorly. He didn''t need to look at him to know that the person in front was Beckham, who was familiar with Beckham''s voice.


    Beckham saw Aldridge''s expressionless expression and suddenly couldn''t talk anymore.


    Aldrich said to him: "David, I don¡¯t know if you left Manchester United to concentrate on being a commercial star. Maybe you are not in the best shape, maybe you are discouraged by Real Madrid¡¯s bad season. Yi Leng, you used to be the most diligent player. Without diligence, you can only sell jerseys in Real Madrid! What do you think your performance is today? In addition to a breakthrough, one or two passes, Do you have a sense of presence on the court? I didn¡¯t finish my words just now, I don¡¯t want to embarrass you! Today, you are officially the captain of England. The captain¡¯s armband is not a high honor, but a heavy sense of responsibility than everyone imagines! Is Gareth here, will he allow his teammates to celebrate unattended by the dressing room? If..."


    Aldridge didn''t want to go any further, he turned around and continued to walk away, with a painful and brutal expression, he scolded hardly: "F!"


    He almost blurted out a moment ago. "If you are injured and Gareth continues to fight, then the situation should be better!".


    No matter how many people around the world are admiring Beckham, in Aldrich''s eyes, letting Southgate and Beckham choose, he will not hesitate to choose the former.


    why?


    Because ten years!


    No training absent in ten years!


    I have never said anything in front of the media for ten years that will cause troublesome remarks!


    Ten years of hard work and blame!


    Southgate''s strengths and weaknesses are clear at a glance, but he is working hard every day, and even after 30 years of age, he is trying to maintain his status so that he can contribute more to the team!


    It''s not polite to say that if Aldridge coached Manchester United, Beckham would have been cleaned for a long time. His eyes are not tolerant of sand, and his authority is not to be challenged by the slightest!


    At this moment, he did not want to listen to any refutation from Beckham.


    Was he unhappy in Madrid?


    Is Real Madrid too much business activity?


    go away!


    That is your own choice!


    In my team, you can¡¯t do the best, it¡¯s your problem!


    Not to mention the captain who should serve as a role model!


    At the end of the game, the England players, both on and off the court, were particularly excited, with only great joy in their heads.


    Because they beat the biggest favourite to win the European Cup this time, defending champion France!


    And beat the opponent with such an impeccable score of 3:0!


    It seems that every player has seen the great glory of replicating the French team to win the World Cup first and then the European Cup!


    Because of this, they celebrated in the dressing room with some air.


    But Aldridge suddenly reprimanded and warned, pouring a pot of cold water on their heads, making them quickly aware of two things.


    First, Aldridge is not satisfied with them!


    Second, this time should not be celebrated!


    Whether it''s Millwall players, such as Ashley Cole, or formerly playing Millwall players, such as Lampard, they understand Aldridge''s outbreak after calming down.


    Southgate''s injury has hit Aldridge very hard.


    In addition to ten years of apprenticeship, there is also a major impact on the dressing room!


    Even players who have left Millwall have to admit that Southgate¡¯s role in the locker room has stabilized the interior. It was only last season that Millwall¡¯s locker room had signs of confusion, but After all, it was Klinsmann who moved the locker room. Another veteran meritorious leader, Larson, who could never shake the leader status. To some extent, if there was no Southgate at the time, maybe Millwall that season It will end in a big crash, not the last regretful defeat of the league at the last moment.


    Southgate was sent to a hospital in the Portuguese capital after being injured in the game.


    After Aldridge arrived, he learned of Southgate¡¯s injury and was not optimistic. The detailed diagnosis report was later, but at least four months of injury treatment is certain. If it is more serious, it may be more than half a year, farewell 2004 ...


    Southgate¡¯s family also came to Portugal to cheer for him. Unexpectedly, this is the picture now. Southgate himself has adjusted his mentality. The 34-year-old man has not seen anything in the wind and waves. Tears may have a sense of destiny that can''t be controlled. When you arrive at the hospital, you completely admit your fate, and then you must make your face laughter in order not to worry your family.


    Aldrich came to visit Southgate, and he must not be able to hang his face. He tried to make his expression lighter. He walked into the ward and sat by the bed. The first sentence to Southgate was with a smile: " Take care of my wounds, but I still have to wait for you to win a lot of championship trophies."


    Southgate smiled, silenced for a moment, and then said: "Boss, even if my injury comes back, I will definitely not be worthy of Millwall''s starter. Give the opportunity to young people."


    Aldridge turned his head to look at the wall, his eyes were a little wet, and said in a deep voice: "Garez, don''t say that, be confident in yourself, believe me, you will always deserve it."


    "I have been able to dominate the main position for ten years. I am very satisfied. It is time for young people to take over. Lucas and Andrea are very good candidates. Lucas is 26 and Andrea is 23. Ten years ago, I was 24 years old, huh, of course, if the leader can bring a second world-class defender like Alessandro from the transfer market, I must agree, because it will make us crazy lion change To be more powerful."


    Aldridge got up and his tone became a little harsher. He didn''t go to Southgate and didn''t want the other party to find his wet eyes.


    "Gares, you can''t command me. Remember, I''m your boss, you, you must obey me! Listen clearly, take care of your wounds, don''t think about it! I''m waiting for you to come back."


    After speaking, Aldridge left the ward. He held the wall with one hand outside the ward, covering his closed eyes with one hand, and stood for a while before leaving.


    The reporter who came to inquire about the news came, and the English team also led Beckham to visit Southgate.


    The next day, Fleet Street focused on the victory of England, and also deliberately highlighted the news that Beckham led the team to visit Southgate to promote unity within England!

 Chapter 1002： Get back on track

    Aldrich quickly spread his anger in and outside the locker room at Lisbon¡¯s Bright Stadium.


    This is the price of not being able to control emotions.


    "The Sun" threatened to hear a huge crack in the dressing room of the Three Lions.


    "Mirror" made an in-depth analysis of this incident.


    With the title "Manchester United Class 92 should shoulder the heavy responsibility of the national team!"


    The article analyzed the battle between England and France, and gave Gerald, Irving, Hargreaves, Ashley Cole and other players high ratings in the post-match comments.


    Players from Manchester United''s 92 class did not score well.


    Among them, Scholes had the highest score and only qualified scores.


    It is believed that Scholes is in a mediocre state and lacks bright spots.


    Gary Neville was very difficult to defend Henry in the second half on the defensive end, and his offensive assist performance was not outstanding. He became the lowest score in the English team. Beckham, who is slightly better than him, has only one comment on Beckham: As if he lacked a new hairstyle, the whole person became mediocre on the court.


    The comments of the whole game were sharp and unrelenting.


    "If France is not a defending champion, what can be proud of England''s victory? France''s multiplayer is in a doldrums, only Zidane''s superb skills are impressive, not to mention that Pires is ridiculously arranged to play on the right side. In the face of the young England¡¯s impact, the French team¡¯s aging defense is difficult to maintain for a long time. Gerrard and Lampard have covered all areas from their own restricted area to the front of the opponent¡¯s door. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the The two fighters used their extraordinary physical strength to bring down the French team''s defense. In the end, Gerrard played his most exciting game in the national team! However, after Southgate confirmed the injury to the European Cup, the England team Who are the players with the deepest qualifications and the oldest age in the team and who should shoulder the responsibilities of the national team? Isn¡¯t it the 92 players that Manchester United is proud of? Neville, Scholes, Beckham, it¡¯s time for them to support From the spine of England, he led the England team to the head, but Beckham, who had just officially become the captain, was dissatisfied with Sir Hall. Fans who have watched the game will remember Gerald, Irving, and the crazy running in the midfield and backcourt. Hargreaves, Ashley Cole who shuttled up and down, and Lampard who repeatedly attacked quickly in the frontcourt, but who would remember Beckham? Perhaps people only want to appreciate his The wonderful arc of the foot is passed, but Sir Hall does not want these. If Beckham cannot restore his state and attitude at the World Cup two years ago, we can make a bold idea: he will be defeated by Sir Hall Strip the captain''s armband and kick him out of the starting lineup!"


    The Times directly ignored the "contradictions" in the locker room in England.


    David Miller, who wrote the war report reviews, explained everything in one sentence.


    "There are no disputes and contradictions in the locker room without a team, and England is no exception. As long as Sir Hall is there, there will be no problems in the locker room of the England team. Even if there is a quarrel, it will be a positive effect. People Probably forget that the coach itself has the power to criticize the underperforming players. If Sir Hall does not criticize the players, this is the real hidden danger!"


    David Miller is more inclined to explore the technical and tactical changes of England after the European Cup debut.


    "After McManaman withdrew from the national team, England¡¯s personal breakthrough ability has decreased significantly. In response to this change, Sir Hall activated Gerrard, supplemented by midfielder Lampard, Scholes, Beckham, using their wide running range and strong defensive ability to implement stronger defensive oppression against the opponent! Two years ago, England''s key defensive area was in the midfield and backcourt, and now it has moved forward to the midfield. The advantage of this is that as long as the ball is intercepted in the midfield, England can hit the offense to the front line in the shortest time, so that the opponent¡¯s reaction time and arming time are shortened again. The offense relies more on the player¡¯s back insertion, short time The explosive force inside hits the opponent''s defense line, instead of relying on personal breakthroughs. This system is very clear. The front of the striker, Irving, is behind Gerrard, and later, there is Lampard, the player who sends them shells. The distribution is reasonable, with Beckham on the right, Scholes on the middle, and Ashley Cole on the left. The English team¡¯s play is simpler and more direct than it was two years ago. The side pass back to ours In sight, but the use of details is still impressive. When Gerrard and Lampard have no space to intervene, England will never pass the sideways..."


    The European Cup is different from the World Cup.


    The European Cup schedule is much tighter than the World Cup!


    The World Cup lasts one month, the European Cup is only 3 weeks, and the interval between matches is only 3 days.


    Therefore, during the European Cup, the England team had much fewer holidays than the World Cup. On the second day after the match day, they resumed training in the morning, let them rest in the afternoon, and could meet their family members. They would return to the hotel at night and spend another day , You have to set off for the city of the second game, you can imagine how much pressure will be!


    In particular, modern football is becoming more intense, and the recovery time of a player after a game will be longer. The tighter the schedule, the greater the test for the team. England is actually good. Southgate withdrew from Europe due to injury. After the Cup, no team''s main force is older than 30 years old, and most of the players are in their prime.


    In the recovery training the next morning, Beckham publicly apologized in the team and stated that he will seriously perform the duties of the captain. Aldridge encouraged the team to mention the storm after the game with France.


    On this day, Group C games followed.


    After being eliminated in the World Cup two years ago, Larson announced his withdrawal from the national team. He persuaded the Swedish national team and friends and relatives, as well as the Swedish Prime Minister and UEFA President Johansson, to continue playing for the national team.


    His "return" is perfect.


    Sweden debuted in the European Cup, Larson led the team to slaughter Bulgaria 5:0, and he scored two goals, Ibrahimovic and Yongberg scored goals in this battle.


    Italy, the number one hotspot in the same group, was a surprise, ending 0-0 with Denmark.


    Although the coach Trapattoni declared Italy unprecedented unity before the expedition.


    However, the internal contradictions in Italy were revealed. Gattuso disdained Zanetti''s competition. Fiore questioned that Camoranesi nationality chose to betray his birthplace, and Piero lost his habitual contest. The powerful Italy is struggling.


    On the third day after the Anglo-French World War I, the entire England team was promoted from Lisbon to Coimbra. The European Cup schedule was tight and the schedule was extremely painful because after the second World War, England had to return The advantage of going to Lisbon to play the third group match is that it is more conducive to preparing for the battle, everything is easy to handle, and the disadvantage is that running at both ends is inevitably a bit superfluous. Ok.


    Coimbra is a historical and cultural city in Portugal. The city revolves around Coimbra University, the second oldest university on the Iberian Peninsula. This institution has a history of more than 500 years, so this city is also known as " "City of students", unfortunately, England did not come for tourism. In this slightly retro-styled city, they stayed in hotels, stepped on the field to train, and did not listen to things outside the window.


    There are only four groups in the European Cup. There are only a few strong teams that will qualify. Aldrich does not waste time by example. He naturally takes the time to pay attention to the status of other teams.


    Four teams from Group D made their debut on this day.


    The Czech team led by Nedved was almost upset in the first match of the group.


    Their opponent is Latvia, and until 70 minutes into the game, Latvia still leads 1:0.


    The Czech team entered the European Cup in the style of offensive football and wanted to make a name for it, so Latvia''s goals need not be guessed: counterattack.


    However, Latvia looked immature after all, and finally resisted the strong firepower of the Czech team after 70 minutes.


    The Czech team equalized the score in 73 minutes and completed the reversal in 85 minutes. The audience slammed a 27-foot shot, and Latvia failed to be upset.


    In Europe, this three-point acre of ground, but all strong teams have some holidays, such as the finale of the German team and the Dutch team, where did the uncrowned king of the Netherlands come from? The German team has a lot of credit.


    Known as 30 years of incomprehensible hatred!


    As a result, the unsuccessful German team was finally hated by Fanny alone riding the Savior. The two teams scored one point each. In this top three group, the Czech team took the lead in taking the line.


    Compared with other groups, Aldridge must be most concerned about the Group A event.


    Because England made the first or second group qualifying, the team they met after the qualifying must come from Group A.


    The group stage will be played immediately on the second match day, and there will be no rest in the middle of the day.


    Aldridge attended the press conference after leading the team training on this day.


    When asked by reporters about his anger after the war between Britain and France, he did not avoid the topic and responded bluntly.


    "The European Cup is played day after day, and the group stage of the same team is to play 3 games in 8 days, with only 3 days of rest in the middle. We will resume the rest on the first day and run the next day. Going to another city, all preparations must be done on the third day! I think the players of England are a bit impetuous. We are the World Cup champions, but that is already past, and we have defeated the defending champion France, what do we stand for? Did we win the cup on our behalf? Have we ended all the games on our behalf? No! If we waste time celebrating and wasting time complacently, how can we go further? I have to wake the players up and defeat France, we He scored 3 points, nothing more. It has no other meaning."


    "Is there a conflict between you and England captain Beckham?"


    "Me and David have known each other for almost ten years. He is now the captain of the England team. This is not an easy and simple job. I have high expectations of him, so I will put forward more stringent requirements. He will understand that now Everything is normal for the England team and we are back on track."


    At this point, Aldridge was not talking about his words, Southgate¡¯s injury retreated, Aldridge¡¯s anger seemed to become an opportunity, sounded the team¡¯s ideological alarm, calmed their mind, and faced down to the future game. , The team status, back to the World Cup as it was.


    When talking about opponents in the second game, Aldridge is not stingy.


    "The Swiss team has an exciting future. Two years ago, they won the championship in the U17 European Youth Championship and won the top ranking in the U21 European Youth Championship in the same year. On the stage of the Champions League, we also saw Clubs from Switzerland such as Basel are starting to show something. This is the progress of Swiss football. I am not saying that England will fear Switzerland, but I want to express the determination of Swiss football to catch up and try to get into the top ranks. This is English football is worthy of learning and attention, because we now have a group of very good players, but, as a country with a history of hundreds of years of football development, the next generation of British football is worrying. The decline in competitiveness is a red flag."


    After finishing the pre-match press conference, Aldridge returned to the Coimbra hotel to watch the Group A match.


    Spain played a very good game on the scene, because Spain is delicate and gorgeous, but also pursues the offensive. The breakthrough of the sidewalk Huajin is unmatched. Morrentes'' tactical effect is very obvious, but Greece is very dull, very Dull!


    Only one game in the whole game, the only time it seemed to have a threat offensive. As a result, the Greek team equalized the score, and Spain scored a three-pointer!


    The score of 1:1 was maintained to the end.


    Spain and Greece have 4 points.


    The Spanish media criticized Seth as a coward after the game. When he needed 3 points, he replaced Raul and lacked the courage to break through.


    Most people are still optimistic, because as long as Spain scores another point, they will enter the knockout.


    Portugal is in danger and they have won the Russian two games with two goals in a calm situation.


    This group became an unexpected death trend.


    The first team to go home in the European Cup was born on the fifth day after the game.


    Russia.

 Chapter 1003： Strategic significance

    The expansion of the Coimbra City Stadium was officially opened last fall.


    However, the capacity of this modern stadium, including the swimming pool cinema fitness club, is still small, and it can only accommodate 30,000 fans.


    On June 18, the Group B group match between England and Switzerland took the lead here.


    Aldrich walked into the stadium with a swagger, shook hands with the Swiss coach Kuhn, then stood in front of the coach and silently waited for the game to begin.


    Since defeating the French team in the last game, England''s winning popularity index has jumped to the top of the competition.


    Compared to the situation two years ago, although England has become a target, the urgency of the situation has reduced this to a minimum.


    In the first match of the group stage, they defeated the French team first. The latter two opponents were weaker and had less resistance to their qualifying.


    And after the qualifying, it will be the quarterfinals, further reducing the possibility of being repeatedly attacked.


    The game is going to be played one after another, but in the overall situation, it can be said that if Aldridge led England for the European Cup in two years, and two years later is playing the World Cup, then today¡¯s situation will be extremely bad. The World Cup''s top 16 situation will be far more difficult and dangerous than the European Cup''s top 8.


    Aldrich''s strategic vision has been cast to the quarterfinals, and in the preparation, he once again emphasized and clarified the changes after Scholes'' delay. This is targeted. After defeating France, the qualifying situation of Group A, The fate of England itself has changed dramatically, that is, whether it is the first group or the second group promotion!


    With the appearance of England and the Swiss queuing team, the cheers in the Coimbra stadium thundered, and the cheering of fans from both sides kicked off the curtain.


    "The second round of the European Cup Group B group match began. The first appearance was the England team and the Swiss team. In this group, the French team and the England team were qualifying and even won the championship. However, after the first round, the French team However, the bottom of the rankings, the England team has been considered to qualify early, because the strength of the Swiss team and the Croatian team, it is difficult to stop the staunch pace of the Xinke World Cup champions to make a big round! Let¡¯s take a look at today¡¯s lineup of both sides, the England team has a staff The change, that is, the defender online captain Southgate was injured and Terry became the main starter.


    Goalkeeper: Robinson.


    Defenders: Gary Neville, Campbell, Terry, Ashley Cole.


    Midfielders: Beckham, Hargreaves, Scholes, Lampard.


    Forwards: Irving, Gerrard.


    The Swiss team started with 442.


    Goalkeeper: Steele.


    Defenders: Haas, M. Yakin, Mueller, Spichel.


    Midfielders: Wiki, Christine, Huger, H. Yakin.


    Forwards: Chapuisat, Frey.


    The Swiss team was in the same position as Croatia after the first round draw against Croatia. If they want to qualify, they must at least be unbeaten in the face of France and England! Both teams will be tested today! "


    The Swiss team also counterattacked against England. They did not have a positional warfare organization to escape the technical and tactical strength of the mad siege in England''s frontcourt. The positional battle of England was not ideal after the opening.


    In the World Cup two years ago, people were talking about Irving¡¯s state of being unable to return to the best. In the European Cup, Scholes still did not reach the height expected by Aldridge in the second game.


    After his position was delayed, he was required to transfer in the middle and long distance to instigate an offensive to create a threat. However, for a pass over 30 meters, Scholes'' five attempts in the opening 15 minutes all ended in failure.


    Aldrich looks at the game and will silently pay attention to the player''s technical ability to play. Taking the pass as an example, the success of the pass has been good, which means that the state is very good, and the success of one foot is the failure. The big fluctuations are the fluctuation of the state. The success rate is high, and one or two mistakes without interruption are qualified or okay, but if they fail continuously, it is in a bad state.


    If he is allowed to continue to pass on like this, it will only make his heart anxious and play worse.


    When playing France, the England team was on the same level as the opponent in frontal battles or counterattacks, and Scholes¡¯s status did not see much difference, because the ball rights were not always controlled at the feet of England.


    But when playing Switzerland, the England team dominated the scene with stronger control, and the test of this delicate technical work was greater. As if each player was under the microscope to observe, Scholes¡¯ poor condition was also reflected in more obvious.


    Aldrich made gestures on the sidelines to allow Scholes to reduce the threat of ball passing in the midfield and backcourt, and to formulate a pass, that is, to do a good team pass in the short and medium distance, so that he can gradually build up confidence. Another successful pass, the team slowly recovered its feelings based on the smooth offensive.


    The way forward and midfield are inevitable, and the methods are bound to be different. The striker is very simple, that is, scoring goals, and midfield players must pursue success rate in handling the ball.


    Lack of Scholes''s straight line in the middle, the England team''s propulsion turned into a partial impact and took the sidewalk.


    There is room for wing offense. Beckham and Ashley Cole took the ball forward. When the defensive pressure was too great, the wing cooperation was also very particular. Beckham mainly focused on Gerald''s retreat. Ashley Cole is more integrated with Lampard on the other side. Scholes will have a wider coverage in the midfield and free movement to intersect to form a triangular pass.


    Although Scholes didn''t work well, the England side''s threat of wing attack today made the whole England fans applauded.


    Ashley Cole shocked forward, the Swiss team could hardly stop it, and Beckham''s pass from the right to the edge of the dangerous zone was also very threatening.


    The two side impacts lasted nearly fifteen minutes, which made the Swiss team increase their defense against the side.


    They may not have noticed that, because of the back and forth impact from England''s two sides, the horizontal width of the defensive area was torn by the limit width of the field, and their middle lanes were gradually exposed.


    In the 29th minute, Ashley Cole caught the ball on the wing and hit the frontcourt. This time, instead of cooperating with Lampard, he directly passed the ball to the front midfield area of ??the penalty area. Scholes touched the ball at the same time as he drew the ball diagonally, which wiped out the Swiss midfielder Wiki. Outside the penalty area, he took a long shot!


    Shoot the ball to the left of the goal with a zone facing the right of the goal.


    The goalkeeper Steele flew to the end but failed to touch the ball. He only heard a bang and the ball bounced back on the goal post!


    The Swiss team was in a turmoil in the penalty area, Owen cleverly caught the ball landing point, stopped the ball, and shot with his leg!


    The defender Yajin blocked Owen with his body, the ball bounced back again, and the penalty area was ejected.


    Lampard, who was in sight from the periphery, immediately started a swinging volley for the ball.


    Nearly a half-empty goal, Lampard''s long-range shot from outside the penalty area deliberately pushed the ball down. The ball shuttled over the crowd''s feet in the penalty area and flew into the goal!


    "Once, twice, three times! The Swiss team finally failed to withstand the indiscriminate bombing of the England team! Scholes'' lack of luck in long-range shots, Owen''s supplementary shot was blocked, and finally Lampard gave the ball a final blow. In the goal! The midfielder also scored his first goal in the current European Cup! England led the Swiss team 1-0!"


    England fans cheered in the stands, with smiles everywhere.


    There is a weird statistic. According to Fleet Street reports, since Aldridge became the coach of the England national team, the number of football hooligans and the number of troubles in England have a more obvious downward trend.


    Many golf critics take this for granted.


    England is winning, England will not make people worry, the trouble factor will naturally decrease.


    Aldridge is like a scheming ambition, even if the team scored, he just smiled and returned to a serious look.


    The strength of the Swiss team is average, only second-rate in Europe, the opponents in the qualifiers only Russia and Ireland are the strongest, but in the end it is a group of second-rate rivals.


    This match against Switzerland must be won. As long as it wins, the England team will ensure the qualifying of the group. Then, in the final round of the game against Croatia, Audridge can implement a major rotation to give the main players a 7-day break Time to deal with the knockout!


    This is the strategic significance of further striving to go further in the European Cup.


    In this era of no secrets in tactics, England is dominated by a group of engineers. If it is dragged down by a dense schedule, the more opponents it encounters in the future, the stronger the opponent will be. England is really more powerful than other Europeans, just like the European football in the eyes of English people, one is British football and the other is Continental football.


    Before the match, Aldridge gave the team a dead order and must win!


    What a joke, the Shinco World Cup champion plays Switzerland, and of course the goal is to **** and win! Not even a draw!


    After the lead, the England team did not relax at all. They continued to strongly press the Swiss team, and the Swiss team started a rough foul in the run across the horizontal defensive line. England¡¯s methodical offensive mode, Scholes in the backcourt After the transfer, Beckham and Ashley Cole advanced into the side, and the side and the middle combined to play deep. This system operated very smoothly. The Swiss team was only excused for fouling when it was tired.


    In the 43rd minute, Lampard was knocked down by Wikipedia in a forward-throwing motion with an approximate hug and throw. The referee decisively penalized the foul and gave Wikipedia a yellow card, which was eaten by the Swiss team in the first half. The third yellow card.


    Beckham took the free kick. The full moon scimitar reappeared in the rivers and lakes. The ball that bypassed the wall not only fell rapidly but also had a strong arc of rotation. Finally, it went straight to the lower left corner of the goal and hit the inside of the goal post to bounce into the goal. .


    This ball made many fans on the scene dumbfounded!


    Beckham smiled and ran to celebrate. Today is his first international competition as the captain of the national team. Being able to score a goal is a plus.


    It also counts that England has officially entered a new era.

 Chapter 1004： Champion

    "Beckham free kick broke! The Swiss team was hit hard again before the end of the first half!"


    Beckham was promoted to the first captain, this goal can more or less ease the doubts of the outside world.


    At that time, Aldridge listed Beckham as the deputy captain of the Three Lions Corps. Fleet Street was quite vocal about his decision, but the pros and cons of the debate had their own reasons.


    Those who support Aldridge believe that Beckham had a bad relationship with English fans at the time, and there was a conflict with the fans when he lost the last European Cup.


    Against Aldridge, Beckham was regarded as the number one star of the England team, and the appointment of Southgate was also suspected of being "appointed by others."


    Almost four years later, Bein Southgate Jr. retired and succeeded in the position of captain. Fleet Street still has two sides to discuss whether Beckham can assume the position of captain of the national team.


    The people who support Beckham are nothing more than that set of rhetoric. Beckham is well-known and well-qualified. He is also a champion of the World Cup.


    Opponents believe that Beckham has spent a bad season in Real Madrid and is too commercialized. As the captain of the national team, can he lead the entire team''s energy in the competitive field by leading by example?


    Aldrich did not participate in these arguments and was too lazy to respond to the outside world.


    To put it bluntly, after finishing this session, he left after finishing the European Cup. What can he leave for the England team, he did his best, but to say that the captain needs something to worry about, he is more tired than a nanny. Ah, the next national team coach can appoint the national team captain himself.


    The European Cup is only three weeks, a week is almost over, and half a month is left. Everyone is safe, and concentrate on playing the European Cup. No matter how much, it will be half a month. If not, it will be a week later. To go back home, so it is meaningless to argue.


    The first half ended at 2:0, the two teams passed the halftime break, and then changed sides in the second half and played again.


    Kuhn, the Swiss team coach, felt icy cold in this hot summer.


    The England team''s midfield is running smoothly, the transfer is fast, the offensive thinking is clear, and the Swiss team is slamming in front of the door. Even with a two-ball lead, the England team still shows no signs of ending.


    Kuhn is also old. He will not have the idea of ??French coach Santini "stepping on the body of Audridge to be famous in the world", but just want to achieve a satisfactory result in England, and his thinking is very simple and pragmatic: Even if it is really cold on England, it does not mean that the Swiss team has become stronger.


    However, he observed 45 minutes in the first half of the game and 15 minutes in the second half, a total of one hour. He could not see any flaws in the England team that the Swiss team could concentrate on attacking.


    The Swiss team''s defense is not very good. In the eight games of the qualifiers, only two games have zero opponents. Even Georgia can score goals at home in Switzerland, and the main defender Henjoz can''t play because of injuries, which makes the defense strength. Down.


    England is a "pseudo striker". Irving must be heavily marked. Gerrard has many opportunities. His shots always miss the goal. He seems to be too excited today, probably the last game. It was rated as the best in the game and the excitement has not been eliminated. The shot is always vigorously blasted, and it can scare people to death.


    With the passage of time in the second half of the game, the Swiss team foul action increased, in the 66th minute, Wikipedia was sent off after eating a second yellow card, the Swiss team can only play 10 players.


    Kuhn was forced to make a substitution, with a striker replaced and a midfielder, and Odri? replaced Owen with the idea of ??protecting Owen.


    "Under the close attention of the Swiss team, Irving does not have much room to play. This is the Achilles heel of England. Their best forwards must have space or wonderful passes to support them to show their magic, just like in the France¡¯s mediocre Henry, when playing France, the English team still has space on the front line, but the Swiss team has 8 players defending in the danger zone, and marking Owen is the top priority, which leads to I couldn¡¯t find a free time when Irving was running. Instead, it became a containment point and created an offensive space for other teammates. Unfortunately, Gerald¡¯s goal was not satisfactory today. Now Sir Hall replaces Irving and substitutes The debut is teenager Wayne Rooney."


    After Rooney''s appearance, the Swiss team''s defensive center of gravity will be slightly dispersed and move more to Gerrard. After all, Rooney is a Millwall player, but he played for Everton in the past season. Germany can''t be compared, especially in the last game, although Rooney also scored, but the best player in the game is Gerrard.


    In the second half of the game, Scholes'' performance improved.


    In the 77th minute, he sent a straight ball with a strong penetrating power. Rooney got the ball in front of Yakin and took the ball directly to accelerate the change of direction and broke through the Swiss team''s defense line. The shot rewrites the score to 3:0.


    "Wow, England, which claims to have only one striker available, actually has strikers who have scored consecutively, and it is a super substitute, Wayne Rooney! If you only count his scoring efficiency, I am afraid he can score on average in less than 20 minutes One goal! It looks like he will be another super striker in England!"


    Lu Xiaofan was very excited after scoring a goal and ran to the sidelines with his hands on the ground and somersault...


    The slightly fat and chubby face was round and round, and the young and tender face hadn''t faded yet. Audridge looked at it from afar, and somehow wanted to laugh.


    3: 0.


    Aldrich is angry, and the overall situation is set.


    The morale of the Swiss team fell to the bottom, and they looked vulnerable in front of England.


    In the final period, Ashley Cole set the pressure on the assists and passed the ball into the penalty area. Gerrard outcourted him. Obviously a great opportunity, he just put the ball on the goalkeeper Steele. Fortunately, within the range of his body, the ball hitting Steele''s leg popped out and was shot by Rooney.


    "Wayne Rooney still maintains the scoring efficiency of scoring a goal in 20 minutes! Is he lucky? The England talented striker has scored three goals! It is the number one scorer in the England team, so surprising, Super Rooney! Super Nova!"


    Rooney roared to the camera on the sidelines as if he was going crazy, not sure what he was venting.


    At least the outside world does not understand.


    Aldridge sighed heavily on the coach seat.


    The fans of the Three Lions team who came to see the ball at the Coimbra City Stadium were satisfied. The state and strength of the England team seemed to have the championship appearance!


    6 points in hand, the group qualify in advance!


    At the whistle at the end of the game, Aldridge got up and shook hands with Kuhn, and then walked to the player''s channel without any pride in this victory.


    If you have to be excited about the victory over Switzerland, wouldn¡¯t you be happy to die in a knockout match against other opponents?


    In an interview, he said that this victory is of great significance, so that they can relax their attitude towards the last game, and at the same time make better preparations for the knockout.


    Asked if it would be the last game to ensure a draw and strive to get a group first.


    Aldrich shook his head and said: "We try our best to play, not to consider those factors, it is useless. The outside world will say that we have the conditions to choose the opponents of the knockout. In fact, it is impossible, because the chaos in Group A is obvious to all. Greece and Spain 4 points, Portugal 3 points, who can now conclude the final A ranking?"


    The reporter froze for a moment, thinking that Aldridge was playing with her.


    That''s right, a beautiful reporter interviewed him.


    "Sir Hall, the last round of Group A was finished the day before the last round of Group B."


    Aldridge also froze for a moment.


    The beauty reporter is telling the truth.


    Group A finishes first, and Group B only plays the final round a day later. Before Group B starts the third round, the situation in Group A is settled. Who will be first and who will be second at that time is clear. England is possible. To pick opponents.


    However, that is the theory.


    Aldrich lined up to form a unified army for combat. It has never been a hasty decision and preparation within a day.


    So he shook his head and said, "This is not a game. We only have 3 days. Do we still have to prepare two sets of preparation plans? As I said, we will not choose opponents, which is the same as our style in the World Cup. Whoever you meet is who you lost, not worthy of the championship, won, and move on."


    Back in the locker room, Aldridge praised the players of the team, and then let them pack their bags. The team will return to the hotel for post-match fatigue recovery.


    On their way back to the hotel on the bus, the French team played against the Croatia team.


    Aldridge didn''t have time to watch this game, he just got the battle report, as well as the comment of the TV show for the first time after the game.


    2:2!


    Regardless of the situation of the French team, this game completely torn off the French team''s glorious coat as the defending champion.


    After the Croatian conceded a goal because of an own goal, the Croatian stubbornly reversed!


    In the 64th minute of the second half, the biggest controversy in the game appeared.


    Trezeguet stopped the ball with his hand when the goalkeeper made a free kick. An obvious handball foul escaped the referee''s eyes. Then the French team equalized the score and made no more achievements.


    The Croats are very courageous.


    After the game, French coach Santini was thankful that the French team had a draw, and at the same time warned England to have the dignity of the World Cup champion, not to let it go in the final round.


    The Croatian coach Balic greatly forgave the referee''s misjudgment, that is, Trezeguet''s misjudgment through handball fouls and then scored a goal, and then made a bold statement to defeat England in the final round to qualify for the knockout.


    There is only one choice before Croatia: beat England and then advance to the knockout.


    The defending champion France is in jeopardy. In the final round, they not only have to defeat their opponent Switzerland, but also hope that England will not lose to Croatia.


    On the sixth day after the opening of the European Cup, the first team to break into the quarterfinals was born.


    England!


    The ranking of points in Group B shows that the England team not only advanced to the quarterfinals, but also locked in the first place in the group.


    England 6 points.


    Croatia 2 points.


    The French team has 1 point.


    The Swiss team has 1 point.


    This made Aldrich interviewed after the game to discuss with the beautiful reporter whether to choose opponents.

 Chapter 1005： "People are not old"

    After the English team returned to the hotel where they stayed in Coimbra, Aldridge personally went to supervise the players'' recovery activities.


    He wasn¡¯t worried about this job when he played in the World Cup two years ago, but most of the new coaching team was drawn from the English low-level national team. Stella Maggioni and Jenson themselves are not responsible for this job. The players are somewhat in awe.


    When a monk struck a clock, Aldridge did not have a few days to hit the clock. In order to avoid the unsafe events in the late festival, Aldridge went to the battle personally, and played a supervisory deterrent role.


    Even though the England team does not have the typical characters who are intractable and reckless, the English players themselves make Aldridge worry. Always be careful that the players have a fevered mind or occasionally lazy to plant a time bomb for the future. Two years ago The storm on Rooney''s sperm was not only a scandal of Rooney, but Audridge was also dull, so he had to be vigilant.


    Replenishing water and nutrition, physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, massage and so on, it takes a lot of time, just because it takes a long time, it needs someone to supervise!


    After the players have done this series of activities honestly, Aldridge relaxes, feels exhausted, and walks back to his room to rest for a while.


    Rooney was pacing back and forth around the hotel towels around the hotel corridor. England packed the hotel and was not too worried that he was taken by the outside world as a cover headline.


    Rooney''s complexion was erratic, and pacing back and forth revealed his inner hesitation.


    Mumbling seemed to cheer himself up.


    It¡¯s ridiculous that Lu Xiaochu, who is angry at the bullfight, is not afraid of the sky. He is not like a wise and calm bullfighter on the court, but more like a barbarian bull, but he is afraid of Audrey. odd.


    Two years ago, Aldridge''s scene of public criticism seemed to be a nightmare, and he couldn''t survive it. At that time, he really felt that the sky was falling!


    That''s the case, he always couldn''t afford the courage to face the dialogue in front of Aldridge.


    However, he believes that he must have a dialogue with Aldridge.


    Well, a peer-to-peer exchange.


    Coming to the European Cup, Aldridge took the initiative to talk to him once and told him clearly that during the European Cup, he will be the third forward, that is, the substitute player.


    Rooney did not refute anything at the time, just because he was afraid of Aldridge.


    With two games coming off the bench and scoring 3 goals, he became England''s top scorer, and even now ranked first in the European Cup scorer list, he thinks he has the capital to ask Aldridge.


    I want to play the main role, I want to start!


    In this materialistic society, the football world has already been commercialized, and it is necessary to be famous early, and the greenery is the same.


    Rooney, who was still calm, couldn''t calm down.


    In the European Cup game, this **** one is playing one less game!


    This world-famous competition is only available every two years!


    He wants to be famous, he wants to be more famous than Beckham!


    He prepared for a long time and mobilized himself to get his chest to knock on the door of Aldridge.


    Aldridge was also going to eat supper, so the door was unlocked, and when he heard the knock on the door, he said plainly, "Please come in."


    After Rooney outside the door heard, the heart and soul began to tremble.


    Pushing the door open stubbornly, Rooney saw Aldridge sitting at the table in the room, holding the notebook in one hand, and tapping on the keyboard of the laptop in the other. There were some documents on the table. Rooney glanced at them and saw those There are a lot of tactical maps of football field formations in the information files.


    It should be studying opponents.


    Seeing Aldridge''s still working posture during the break, Rooney spoke a thousand words in his throat, almost turning his head out of the room and escaping.


    Perhaps he felt it was a crime to bother Aldridge at this time.


    Hearing someone coming in but no one talking, Aldridge turned his head away and looked around. When he saw Rooney, he asked curiously, "Is something wrong?"


    Rooney didn¡¯t dare to stare at Aldridge. He could only bow his head slightly. Instead, he looked like a child who had done something wrong. He couldn¡¯t hear whether he was stubborn or wronged and said to Aldridge: "Boss, I want to start. ."


    Aldridge put down the notebook in his hand, and the other hand also left the keyboard of the laptop. He turned his arms around his chest to face Rooney, sat on the chair and straightened his waist, staring at Rooney III who secretly looked at him. second.


    "Well, you start in the next game, and then continue to be substituted in the knockout. Well, go back to rest, don''t think about it, you are an indispensable key player in England."


    "Oh, boss, good night."


    Rooney may not have heard what Aldridge said at all, but Aldridge stared at him for three seconds of silence. The silence in the room made him uncomfortable.


    After exiting the room and closing the door, Rooney walked back to the room and repeatedly recalled and determined what Aldridge said to him.


    The next start, the knockout game, which is the next game, continue to substitute.


    Then he is still a substitute!


    Rooney didn''t come knocking on Aldridge''s door again, and the idea would never come back.


    In addition to the palpitations that Aldridge reprimanded in the past, there are naturally factors that Aldrich''s authority cannot be challenged.


    When truly standing in front of Aldridge and face-to-face with him, Rooney will fully understand why even if Beckham was scolded by Aldridge, it would be the next day to apologize to the team and show his position to euphemistically eliminate Aldridge. anger.


    The future of their national team is all in the hands of Aldridge!


    If you change a coach who has no skill, and commits such things as chaos, the players will do it as soon as their brains are hot!


    But Aldrich¡¯s influence, prestige, and achievements in the England national team are obvious to everyone. Fighting against him will not only affect his own future, but also damage his reputation.


    Aldridge kept his arms around his chest and stared forward in the room. His gaze converged on the door. After a long silence, he closed his eyes and sighed.


    Of course, Rooney¡¯s mind understands.


    Why don''t you understand?


    Two games and three goals, it really means scoring a goal in an average of 20 minutes.


    How could this **** stop the world from putting the genius hat on Rooney''s head?


    He is only 18 years old!


    He wants to start, he wants to score, he wants to stay in the top spot in the UEFA Europa League goalscorer list!


    He wants to worship the world, he wants to be a superstar in a summer!


    But what does Aldridge want?


    What does the England national team need?


    Did 18-year-old Rooney think about it?


    Irritable feelings germinated in his heart, Aldridge had talked to Rooney bitterly, and explained in detail why he was supposed to be put on the bench.


    It is not empty talk to say that he is a key player!


    Is the truth!


    England haven''t had many forwards at a critical moment.


    Still highlight the killer weapon early?


    Moreover, Rooney is only 18 years old, and his experience in the competition is almost zero. The sooner he is targeted, the opponent pays attention to him. Whether it is physical aggression or tactical pass, Rooney can rush without a doubt in 30 minutes of competition. Slammed for 90 minutes? Would he be more stable than the old fritters on the pitch? More shocking? Such a genius can only play the downwind ball. To turn the tide and become a wonder, first of all, he must be decompressed!


    Aldrich told him that.


    Now it came to start.


    Aldrich understood that what he had said to Rooney was playing the cow against the cow.


    At the age of 18, do you only have your own fame and fortune?


    Is team honor, team need, already in second place?


    The thought of work was interrupted and the appetite for supper was gone.


    Aldridge took off his suit and lay in bed, only to feel that leading the England national team began to become a kind of torture, and he did not know how long the restlessness and arrogance of the whole team that grew after the World Cup won the championship could be suppressed.


    At this time, his cell phone rang.


    He took the phone from the table and took a look, and his mood immediately improved a lot, as if injected into Wang Qingquan.


    It was called according to the text.


    "Are you in trouble at work? It seems that you are in a bad mood these two days."


    Outsiders may feel that Aldridge is under pressure, so whether facing the media or directing the game on the sidelines is extremely serious.


    Of course, in the eyes of many fans, Aldridge''s posture is more like the self-confidence and calmness in charge of Qiankun, and the aura is amazing.


    But people who knew Aldridge, even if it wasn¡¯t the one by the bed, his friends could feel that Aldridge was in a bad mood.


    "I think there is nothing to be happy about. Gareth''s things are lingering in my mind, and these players make me feel helpless."


    "What''s wrong? Isn''t England better than everyone expected?"


    Judging from the record, the team with the first payout line is England, and the two games have won heartily.


    But that was only the scene presented in the 180-minute game. Outside the game, inside the public could not see, Aldridge could feel the subtle changes in the team.


    "Two years ago, they had nothing, nothing, now? What has it become, yes, World Cup champions, I feel like they are beginning to be a bit self-righteous. Fortunately, they all understand that my presence is essential to the team Impact, otherwise, hehehe, God knows what they will say to the media."


    "The times have changed. When you first coached ten years ago, only a few players in an era were able to become rich. Now what? Players can also become rich overnight. Highlight yourself, more expressive, this It¡¯s the whole football, and all teams are subtly changing."


    "Yeah, I also understand that I really want to sigh that the world wind is so unpopular."


    "Shall we come out for dinner tomorrow? I believe naughty Earl will make you forget all your worries."


    "Oh, of course, he appeared in front of me, which is my biggest worry, although it is happy, but sometimes he can''t bear him to make troubles one after another, remembering that he took a group of dogs and **** and **** in Aunt Moore''s garden, A good garden became smelly, and Aunt Moore was almost mad!"


    "Oh, ha ha ha."


    Thinking of his little son, Aldridge was really angry and laughing.


    "Bonnie will make you forget your troubles."


    "Yeah, the little princess hasn''t cried these two days?"


    "Yes, coaxing her for a long time, but it''s more like she''s tired of crying, so it''s all right? Have dinner tomorrow? Is it in Coimbra or Lisbon?"


    Aldridge put a smile on his face and said in a deep voice, "Go to Braga together tomorrow. I''m going to watch a ball and see someone."


    "Huh? See who? Talk about business?"


    "No, it was just a feeling of nostalgia, but now this emotion is getting stronger and stronger, and the heart is not old, how can you not miss the old friend? It is not to talk about business, but to give him some caring greetings and spiritual support, you also know , Glenshire."


    "Oh, it turned out to be him, well, then we will go to Braga together tomorrow."


    "Well, I will call you again after work tomorrow morning, good night."


    After hanging up the phone, Aldridge lay on his back on the bed, closed his eyes, and entered a dream, in a hazy dream, as if returning to the Lion''s Cave Stadium...

 Chapter 1006： Subversion kicked off

    Portugal itself is a small country on the fringes of Europe, so it is normal for not many magnificent and large-scale stadiums. If it is not the European Cup, several stadiums have been expanded and renovated. "Come and go".


    Braga is also one of the cities hosting the European Cup. The capacity of the Braga Municipal Stadium is only 30,000 shabby, and the fans will look warm when they are full.


    In a casual outfit, Audridge sat on the court with his daughter Bonnie to watch the game, accompanied by Ewen and his two sons.


    He came very low-key, and was only captured by the live broadcast at the beginning of the game, causing speculation and ridicule by the speaker.


    "England national team coach Sir Hall actually came to watch the Bulgarian and Danish games? Is he using this pastime to pass the holiday? Yesterday he just led the team to defeat the Swiss team of the same group 4:0, The England team¡¯s early qualifying eased the pressure on his shoulders a lot. But should he watch other games? If someone vowed to say that Sir Hall came to investigate the opponent on the spot, then this must be an order People sneer at jokes! Maybe, just relax."


    Of course, it¡¯s not an investigation of opponents. He went to watch the Brazilian game two years ago. After winning the World Cup, he was regarded as the finishing touch in his work. The outside world does not know that if it weren¡¯t for Earl who wanted to watch Ronaldinho¡¯s performance, he would definitely not appear in the stands of the game between Brazil and China.


    Today is to relax, change my mood, and also come to the scene to give some old friends some support and comfort.


    When the game between Bulgaria and Denmark reached the 23rd minute, something changed on the court. The Danish sideman Maro Medal was forced to end with a muscle strain. A Danish player stood on the sidelines waiting for the bench to come off the bench.


    At this time, the Danish fans on the scene broke out unusually cheering.


    Aldridge put Bonnie in the seat next to him. He stood up, and Ewen stood beside him. With the continuous applause and cheers from Danish fans, Aldridge always applauded with solemn expression.


    "Romedal came off due to injury! Glennchard, who should have been the starter of the Danish team, debuted. He missed the first round of the game. Today he was also placed on the bench by the head coach, not because of competitive reasons, but in Europe. Before the Cup was unveiled, Glennshire¡¯s mother died unexpectedly, and he immediately returned to the country to mourn for his mother. The Danish team understood this unexpected situation and originally decided to give Glenchard more leave for a few days, but Glennshire returned quickly. Arriving on the team and contributing his energy to his motherland, Danish fans are supporting Glennshire with applause and cheers. At the same time, we can now understand why the English national team coach Sir Hall appeared here, he must come to support Glennshire¡¯s, they have established a deep mentorship in Millwall. We may find it difficult to find Glennshire¡¯s figure in Millwall¡¯s glorious historical freeze screen, but Sir Hall knows a team well It is not entirely possible to rely on the eleven main players. Glennshire¡¯s contribution to Millwall may not be seen by many people, but it must be buried deep in the heart of Sir Hall."


    There are a lot of English fans coming to Portugal to watch the game. After all, England is a big winner, and there are naturally Millwall fans.


    Club support attribution and national team support attribution Although there are sometimes conflicts, but it is not too big, just like most Argentine national team die hard fans, it is difficult to become a fan of a club in England, of course, non-Argentine also In other words, this is why the conflict is not big.


    So in the stands of the Braga Municipal Stadium, there were also a lot of crazy lion fans sitting together. At this moment, they pulled out a small banner with white text on black and a sentence written on it.


    "Your mother is watching you in heaven and facing the future firmly! We will always support you!"


    It''s impossible for Glenshire to focus on the game too much to pay attention to the scene on the stands. He is like a brave fighter, who is fully absorbed in the game after playing.


    The well-known Glennshire is now very mature, and the 27-year-old Danish is explosive, using excellent dribbling and breakthrough technology to create trouble for the Bulgarian defense line.


    In this era of football exaggeration, Aldridge''s reason will accept everything, but the strong emotional impact will inevitably make people feel a lot of hearts.


    Some people take a look at one less.


    Some people have changed from familiar to strange.


    Some people will always come to mind when you are in touch.


    Too many people start to forget what is loyalty, what is faith, what is dedication, what is collective.


    ...


    At 90 minutes, the score was 1:0 and the Danish team led.


    At this moment, after 23 minutes of playing, the outstanding Glenn Charles scored the ball on the left side of the frontcourt. He dribble inwardly and made a tacit two-on-one with Thomason. In the hinterland of the penalty area, the right foot pushed the far corner of the goal to succeed!


    The Danish team locked the victory!


    After scoring, Glenn Carr ran to the side of the court and frantically roared towards the camera. Obviously, he was giving this goal to his mother.


    Aldridge was also excited in the stands to applaud the outstanding performance of Glenn Charles!


    After the game ended, the smoke disappeared, and when leaving the field, the live camera captured Glennshire''s wet eyes and tears.


    As the fans retired, Aldridge did not rush to leave, he informed the Danish team through the stadium staff, hoping to meet with Glenchard for a brief recount.


    This is not a rude request, and Aldridge will not delay the fatigue of the Danish team after the game to resume work.


    At the end of the hallway outside the locker room, Aldridge stood here, and Glennshire changed his clothes. When the two met again, they didn¡¯t say a word. Aldridge embraced Glennhall, gently Slapping his back to show comfort.


    They have met several times over the years, and they also have text messages and telephone exchanges.


    But perhaps, the picture remembered in each other''s hearts was the rainy evening in Dunlun, the moment when Glenn Carr drove away from the house of Aldridge, and Aldridge stood outside the garage and stared at it for a long time.


    The reunion was not thrilled and excited. A few words of concern and greetings. When Aldridge left, Glennshire''s eyes were wet again.


    ...


    Aldridge embarked on the road to Lisbon, the England group stage finals will be played in Lisbon, and they locked the group top, knockout, their game will also be played in Lisbon, just change the stadium, at least in the future For 8 days, the England team will stay in Lisbon, which is a good strategic environment.


    In Group C, another focus battle was played later.


    Ibrahimovic became the focal point of the match between Sweden and Italy. He made a scorpion''s tail swing and made Italy miss three points.


    After the score of 1:1 was born, the team''s big hit Italian team also hung up!


    Because according to the rules of the game, Sweden and Denmark with 4 points together, as long as the Nordic brothers scored 2:2 in the last game, then Italy won 10 goals and 100 goals in Bulgaria in the last game. use!


    At that time, the three teams will have 5 points and Italy will return home.


    Will this happen?


    The outside world is discussing that many bookmakers directly seal the score of 2:2 and do not allow players to bet.


    ...


    The European Cup feast is full of different beings. The two rounds of the second round of Group D interpret the two extremes of this competition.


    Latvia is a fish-belly force in the eyes of European powerhouses, so it is normal for them to come to the European Cup to intensively defend.


    The first match against the Czech Republic fell short of success, and ultimately failed to withstand the strong firepower of the Czech team.


    The second match with the German team caused the World Cup runner-up to overturn.


    The problem of the German team''s failure to meet the talent gap in recent years is not just as simple as showing its signs, it is a terrible record.


    In terms of intensive defense, the German team lacks both finesse and impact. The world-famous German spirit has also begun to change from the conflict between the players of the two teams pinching their necks in the fifth minute of the game.


    At 0:0 in the 90th minute, the prospects of the German team in the death group suddenly dim.


    In contrast, the game between the Netherlands and the Czech team is an absolute classic since the start of this competition!


    The two teams played offensive football, but the Netherlands team led by two goals but was reversed by the Czech team three goals!


    An interesting phenomenon occurred in the player ratings after the game.


    Sky Sports scored the game between the Netherlands and the Czech team. The Dutch team generally got a high score. If the average score is used, the average score of the Dutch team is higher than that of the Czech team. However, one of the Czech team got a perfect score of 10 points. Evaluation, the only 10 points in the audience, the Czech team''s Nedved!


    The death group won in two games. After the England team, the Czech team became the second team to enter the knockout. At the same time, a shocking battle against the Netherlands made the Czech team''s championship popularity index rapidly rise!


    ...


    England returned to Lisbon in the hotel they stayed in before. The Football Association is also quite proud this time. During the group stage, they chose the hotel in Lisbon for a long period of time. Now they have determined to advance to the top 8. They have extended the package. time.


    On June 21, Aldridge attended the pre-match press conference. The England team is not the focus today. The Croatian team is the French team. The England team has made the qualifying ahead of time. And don¡¯t mind being left out. During the competition, the calmer he is, the more satisfied he is.


    On this day, the final battle of Group A kicked off.


    The situation is slightly subtle.


    Spain has 4 points, Greece 4 points and Portugal 3 points. Russia has packed up and returned home after the last game.


    Spain vs Portugal.


    Russia vs Greece.


    Since the points are the same, the win-loss relationship will be compared first.


    Therefore, Portugal must win to qualify, even if the host draws with Spain and Greece loses, Portugal will lose the top 8 qualification at home, because they share the same score with Greece, but lost to Greece in the opener.


    As long as Greece and Spain don''t lose, they can make sure they advance to the quarterfinals.


    The two teams started at the same time. In less than 20 minutes, Russia led Greece by two goals, and Greece recovered one goal before the end of the first half.


    Portugal''s goal in the first half of the second half turned the situation upside down in this group!


    Before the match, Portugal, which was third in the group, jumped to first, while Spain was completely panicked.


    Because Greece is also lagging behind.


    The scores of the two teams are the same at this time. The record of the two sides is 1:1. The goal difference is also the same. However, the king of the qualifiers, Spain, which has scored so many goals, actually has two fewer goals than Greece!


    When the 90-minute battle between the two games came to the end, there were no goals since Gomez''s goal of breaking through the Spanish gate.


    The Spanish team is shocked out!


    Host Portugal reversed to advance to the top 8!


    Spain has been completely labeled as "fashionable". The national team''s tactical change and style change are also like Germany''s reincarnation. The advantage of the matadors over the Germans is that they do not need to wait for a long period of time like the German team to train talents. , Their failure is not due to the withering of talent, but they are only gorgeous, but did not shake the core philosophy of football.


    The Greek team completed a historic breakthrough and reached the quarterfinals of the European Cup!


    And waiting for them in the quarter-finals, will be the Shinco World Cup champion, the Three Lions England!


    In the European Cup in 2004, since the fifth day of the tournament, Russia was defeated by Portugal to pack up and prepare to go home. On the ninth day, Spain also returned home. A mainstream strong team has bid farewell to the European Cup!


    And this is just the beginning of the disruptive process of the current European Cup.

 Chapter 1007： Come back home

    On the day when the group B group match ended, the overwhelming headlines besides Spain going home, even though England was neglected before the game interview, it still became a hot topic team.


    The French are warning England not to discard the spirit of competitive sports!


    The general meaning is that even if you lock in the qualifying qualifications, here is the European Cup, every game must go all out, do not give water to Croatia.


    Croatian coach Barrich flatly complimented Audric. The tone of the speech is still internal, encouraging the Croatians to give everything in the game!


    Destiny is in their own hands.


    The Swiss team also has hopes of promotion, but the outside world is not optimistic about them. The French team''s performance is no longer good, the state is no longer ideal, the thin and dead camel is bigger than the horse, and the heritage is still there. That is to say, the top-level top team plays no worse There will only be a small probability for the second-rate team to do prestige on their heads.


    The confusion of this group is concentrated on the second qualifying place. Croatia has control of its own destiny. As long as they defeat England, they will advance to the top 8.


    If Croatia can''t beat England, then the Swiss team will play against France, and the winner will advance to the quarterfinals.


    The more confusing possibility is that Croatia loses and Switzerland draws with France. Then, 3 teams have 2 points, it depends on the draw between France and Switzerland, because Switzerland and Croatia are in the first place. In a round of 0:0, the French team and the Croatian team became 2:2 in the second round. As long as there is a 1:1 draw and Croatia loses to England, the French team can advance.


    If it is really 0:0, Croatia still loses, and it may eventually develop into a match for other conditions.


    Fleet Street on the one hand reminded the England team not to hit the French "excitation method", already stable out of the line, can not commit death with Croatia!


    On the other hand, it is easy to imagine the second qualifying situation that this group may appear.


    There is a possibility that it is widely advertised, that is, this group may create a team that only scored 2 points in three games but advanced to the top 8 of the European Cup!


    Fleet Street won the public a smile with this, and the English who had nothing to do with it really hoped that such a scene would be very interesting.


    Aldrich has always ignored the media, and the preparation time has not been long. Where there is time to change the strategic arrangement on the spot, this is completely different from the on-site command. The decision-making of the on-site command change cannot shake the foundation of the team. The practice of self-destructing the Great Wall.


    On June 22, Lisbon Stadium of Light.


    Aldrich shook hands with Croatian coach Baric after entering the court. Although the Croatian fans in the stands were nervous, they still gave Aldrich a good impression at this moment.


    Why?


    Because England has released water!


    In the 23-man roster, England has a 10-man rotation!


    If Southgate did not retreat, I am afraid that England will have an 11-person team starting rotation!


    "The England team does seem to be aiming at the knockout game with Greece after 4 days. After the final ranking of Group A yesterday, the top 8 opponents of the England team were also announced. Portugal escaped and Spain returned home. The England team successfully avoided the host on the way to the knockout, but the Greek team should not be underestimated. Today, in addition to Terry continued to play, players in other positions have carried out a 10-person rotation. Croatia only needs to beat the England team. Can advance to the top 8 with the second group!"


    Aldrich still stands on the sidelines. The European Cup games are frequent. If a battle is continued every three days, the test of the player''s physical fitness is very severe. The task of the England international season is heavy. In addition, the technical and tactical system of this competition The use of the engineering skills of England is also based on physical fitness. The two wins in the group stage and the opponents of the same group had two draws in the first two rounds. As a godsend surprise, the main player of the England team got a Weeks to recuperate and recharge, to wait for a battle with the Greek team.


    Goalkeeper: James.


    Guards: Phil Neville, Carragher, Terry, Bridge.


    Midfielders: Dyer, Bart, Carrick, Joe Cole.


    Forwards: Rooney, Alan Smith.


    In addition to Terry, the bench players in all other positions made their debut.


    After the game started, although the England team still used their mainstream tactics as the core to deal with the game, but the efficiency was greatly reduced.


    In the midfield, perhaps only Rooney and Alan Smith''s defensive movement and large-scale interception are still optimistic.


    Joe Cole, Dyer, Carrick, Bart, these four midfielders combined, the system is very clear, Bart defensive midfielder, Carrick sorted out before and after the midfield connection, Joe Cole on the left Road, Dyer shifted to the right, compared with England''s main lineup, the side collocation is reversed, the main side Beckham is the right side of the side, Lampard is left, but when plugged into the penalty zone front middle zone.


    The decline in defensive efficiency stems from the fact that the team''s chemical reaction from this lineup is not good enough. After all, there is a lack of long-term tacit understanding. Second, the decline in the player''s running defensive ability is the most intuitive.


    Therefore, although the paper strength can not be said to have an advantage over the England team¡¯s starting player today, the team¡¯s chemical reaction and the overall combat strength are slightly stronger than England.


    Another thing that has a decisive influence on the game''s trend is the fighting intention!


    The benches in England also want to perform well, and there will be no problem with their attitude.


    However, compared with Croatia''s determination to survive and die, it is clearly falling behind.


    Therefore, after the opening, the Croatian team gave the England team very much offensive pressure. The England team¡¯s frontcourt siege strategy was full of mistakes in the execution. Especially Joe Cole, Dyer¡¯s defensive problem is relatively large, and Carrick is being attacked Weaknesses of inexperience in the competition during the shock were also exposed.


    If it weren¡¯t for Bart¡¯s calmness, he would return to the restricted area to make up for the gaps in the defense line. The England team may lose the ball soon after the game.


    Carragher and Terry''s partner is also inadequate. Carragher himself has not played in the position of central defender for a long time. Suddenly he moved to the position of central defender. It was such a fierce battle, and he was in danger of danger.


    This is also the same as Aldridge using Gerrard to play forward.


    The defender cannot make mistakes.


    The forward''s fault tolerance rate is very large, and the degree of freedom is higher. In the 90-minute game, you can look for the feeling, observe the situation, judge the situation, adjust yourself, but the defender, one error in 90 minutes is fatal, two errors will be disaster!


    Aldridge was on the sidelines, frowning from the beginning of the game, obviously not satisfied with the team.


    Let''s not mention the question of defense. The offensive play is not ideal, because each of these substitutes wants to have their own play and eye-catching performance.


    Joe Cole, Dyer, Rooney, these three people either stick the ball too much, or just shoot the ball.


    The offensive system in the frontcourt was fragmented. After the attack hit the opponent''s backline, there was not even a triangle pass, strong shot, long shot, wave shot...


    The situation on the field is really "no tiger in the mountains", a group of monkeys fighting for the king!


    Aldridge wanted to scold them, and thought about it to hold back.


    Rooney''s four shots are not a good opportunity. In the case of passing the ball and handling the transition, he chose to come hard, and he didn''t hit a goal with a shot.


    If he is in the main lineup, he will not do so, because the players around him are more famous than him, he can''t dare to "do anything wrong."


    In the 31st minute, the Croatian team pushed the attack to the front of the restricted zone of the English defense zone. Core 10 Kovac and Pulsau on the front line made a pass back and forth to play a deep deterrent to England. Butt''s position dragged back to shrink the restricted zone. With the idea of ??making up for the position, the penalty area was empty again. Kovacs shot a threatening long-range shot. Goalkeeper James saved his shot and shot the ball in the penalty area. Croatian striker Sokota made another shot.


    "Croatia scored! Sokota helped the Croatian team lead. At this time, the French team played against the Swiss team 1:1. Croatia''s situation is very comfortable. As long as the French team and the Swiss team have no difference, the Croatian team will not lose. For the England team, then they will lock the group into the second knockout!"


    Aldridge tapped his forehead with his fist, and then inspired the team''s morale.


    He was helpless.


    James saved the long shot, it felt very stable before he touched the ball, but after the ball touched, it was shocking.


    It can''t be said that this is an absolute mistake, it can only be said that he did not do his best to save the fight.


    This is a bruise in England.


    After the old goalkeeper Seaman left the national team, the England goalkeeper position became the biggest flaw.


    In fact, in addition to the positions exposed in the later state of decline in history, Seaman is easy to be used by opponents. The technical capabilities in other aspects are still first-class. Otherwise, he will not be the famous "back five" of Arsenal. "one.


    However, the goalkeeper after Seaman.


    Now the primary and alternate goalkeepers used by the England team, Robinson and James, are not strong enough to stabilize in the top middle class.


    To put it bluntly, they do not have a particularly prominent advantage. First-class goalkeepers can do it. They can do part of it, but they are not outstanding. Other people will not make low-level mistakes. They occasionally appear on their bodies. The striker is nervous. That is The nerve knife, the goalkeeper is nervous, and that is the butter colander.


    The hidden concern of the goalkeeper position is also one of the considerations for the tactical reform of the three European lions in the current European Cup. It is necessary to advance the defense to the opponent''s half and reduce the number of shots by the opponent as much as possible.


    After the Croatian team took the lead, they became utilitarian and wanted to defend the victory, so the offensive momentum was not so fierce. After all, their position was very comfortable. Now they want to eliminate them from the European Cup. Two changes are needed.


    First, there are score changes between Switzerland and France.


    Second, the England team equalized.


    Both changes must be established at the same time.


    The England team was under less pressure and gradually stabilized the scene, but the offense was still not ideal.


    Aldridge didn''t scold the players, but just sullenly, obviously not satisfied with the team''s performance.


    At the end of the first half, the score did not change.


    After returning to the locker room, Aldridge did not comment on the team''s performance, and directly reiterated the requirements of the pre-game preparation meeting yesterday. This time, he used a very slow and heavy tone to elaborate. Not afraid to breathe, everyone knows that Aldridge is upset and dissatisfied.


    It''s just that this game has nothing to do with life and death.


    However, if he continues to be dissatisfied, I am afraid that these substitutes will get a little chance to get a star in the next game.


    In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought.


    The England team is a bit of a team on the field, but Croatia is more hard-working, at the same time, it is necessary to avoid losing the ball, the defense line shrinks and the rear waistline rushes. The England attacking team has limited ability to attack and seem to regain the midfield Control, but it is difficult to penetrate the attack into the opponent''s danger zone, they lack a passer with pass penetration, or more.


    Carrick is not as good as Scholes, Alan Smith is not as good as Gerrard, Dyer¡¯s side pass is not as good as Beckham, Joe Cole lived more delicately than Lampard, but in the big picture In terms of impact, he couldn''t compare to Lampard.


    But England''s continued offensive has been favored by luck.


    In the 63rd minute, Rooney and the opponent''s defender failed to pass the ball. The ball that was ejected fell to Joe Cole''s feet outside the penalty area. He dribble the ball horizontally and hit a long shot. After the opponent''s defender touched Reversed refraction flew into the goal!


    "Joe Cole equalized the score for the England team! This was a lucky goal, because from the replay of the camera, you can see that this long shot, if no one is blocking, will slightly deviate from the goal range, but with the help of the Croatian Flew into the goal!"


    France and Switzerland are still 1:1. Croatia is still the second in the real-time standings group. However, they dare not gamble and dare to give their destiny to others in almost half an hour. If they maintain a tie, Switzerland and France Whoever scores can score in the quarterfinals!


    Coach Barrich is like a beast on the sidelines inspiring the team to fight back!


    The Croatians fight!


    The English, it seems, kind of counseled!


    It is particularly obvious that Joe Cole¡¯s defense is useless, and when Croatia is desperate to attack in a desperate attack, the England midfielder is in jeopardy.


    Aldridge on the sidelines constantly signaled that the offensive players in the frontcourt would go back, retreat and participate in defense!


    He doesn''t really care who gets this group second qualifying, but he cares about the players'' attitude.


    Strategically, this game can be relaxed, but there can be no slack in the battle!


    The England team fully retired, and indeed it could not stop the opponent''s posture. When it comes to the degree of teamwork chemistry, England did not have an advantage in front of Croatia. Croatia was forced to a 2:2 draw by France, showing their overall battle. The will and strength are still very good. If Trezeguet''s handball is blown, they may only need 1 point to make the promotion!


    The game ushered in a turning point in the 76th minute and the French team scored!


    Henry finally broke out and scored his first goal in the current European Cup, and after 8 minutes, the second goal also came.


    At this time, the game between England and Croatia is still 1:1.


    France leads Switzerland 3-1.


    The Croatian completely broke through. In the 80th minute, Aldridge replaced Gary Rooney with Gary Neville. When Phil Neville filled the backline and partnered with Bart to withstand the pressure, Croatia also immediately changed horses and Barrich withdrew Two defenders, replaced by a forward and a midfielder!


    The Croatian army pressed into the back field and the England team got a good chance to fight back in the 87th minute.


    Alan Smith went to the meeting single-handedly, and forty yards from the goal he drove the ball forward!


    However, perhaps he did not play the striker for a long time in Leeds United. His shot feels really bad. After the goalkeeper abandoned the goal and ran out of the small penalty area, Alan Smith¡¯s hanging door was actually outrageous, not from Flying above the beam, but two meters from the column...


    Aldridge saw this scene and groaned on the sidelines.


    Helpless!


    Croatia seized the time to attack. Three minutes later, they crossed the wing and the area in front of them was overcrowded. Carragher and James were inconceivably fighting for the ball to land. James was attacking. Carragher was planning to head the ball to make a clearance. , The attacker didn''t touch the ball, the header did not hit the ball, and the ball was dispelled to let the ball fall into the small penalty area. In a mess, the Croatian striker Olich swept the ball into the goal alertly!


    Aldridge lowered his head, feeling that he should be very angry and unhappy.


    However, I felt unnecessary.


    What''s so angry about unreliable goalkeepers and unfamiliar inexperienced defenders making mistakes?


    If the main force in England made such a mistake, he should be furious.


    Olic became the hero of Croatia!


    The narrator shouted his name in passion, and the Croatian fans in the stands were mad.


    Croatian coach Baric still roared to the players on the sidelines like a beast, but this was the guide and inspiration for the victory.


    He asked the team to return to defense, including all forwards, to stop attacking, and prepare for the last substitution to delay the time.


    The England team has withdrawn the arrow striker and the offensive desire after kick-off is not too strong.


    After the offensive setback was controlled by Croatia, Croatia began to fall back in the backcourt. Alan Smith snatched it twice and then died down. Time passed by one minute and one second.


    At the moment when the whistle blew at the end of the game, Aldridge went to shake hands with Barrich, congratulations to the opponent''s team to advance to the quarterfinals, and then he turned to the player channel.


    In another venue, the French team suffered a thunderbolt at the Coimbra City Stadium, and the players stood on the court after losing the game.


    "Although the defending champion France defeated the Swiss team 3-1, but after the Croatian team slayed England in the final stage, the final ranking of this group was settled. The English team scored 6 points, Croatia 5 points, and the French team 4 points. The Swiss team scored 1 point, the defending champion France, after being eliminated in the World Cup group stage as a defending champion in 2002, today was also eliminated as a defending champion in the European Cup group stage and missed the quarterfinals!"


    After the European Cup group stage finale started.


    On the first day, Spain in Group A went home.


    The next day, the defending champion France of Group B, also went home.

 Chapter 1008： The third day

    After the game between England and Croatia ended, although England lost this game, but it will not have much impact on the overall morale of the team, even including the fans, will automatically ignore this game, most of the players sleep Just put it behind your eyes and look forward.


    Probably only Rooney had a pimple in his heart.


    When he broke the bench in the first game against France, he set a record: the youngest goal scorer in the European Cup.


    But this record has not been maintained for long.


    In the match between France and Switzerland, the only goal scored by the Swiss team came from a player named Feng Lantang. The Swiss team came back after a disastrous defeat, but let the outside world focus on this Feng Lantang and praised him as a new generation of genius. In his early years, he broke the record created by Rooney, and put his name on the European Cup record of honor.


    Aldridge was troubled by reporters during the interview. The reporter pressed him with the lack of fighting spirit of the England team as the handle.


    "The England team with no fighting spirit in your mouth advanced to the quarter-finals as the first in the group. We scored 8 goals and lost 2 goals in three games. Of the 16 teams, 8 teams will go home. England, this team with no fighting spirit will continue to play in the knockout, which is the reality."


    The hard-spoken Aldridge walked away after talking, and he came to the dressing room.


    After losing the game, everything seemed quiet.


    Aldridge stood in front of the team and solemnly said: "In four days we will play the quarter-finals. We may advance to the semi-finals. We may die suddenly. The semi-finals are on July 2. It was on July 5. That is to say, in the European Cup, we can stay here for less than two weeks, the fastest, and go home after four days. I will not say that we will definitely win, on the contrary, We need to be calm and calm, Spain has left, the defending champion France has also left, and there will definitely be hot teams that will win the championship in the future, and we? I think we want to go further. Now, from now on, you must first do One thing, forget the past victory, forget that we won the World Cup, treat us as a non-popular team, and return to a special state, that state is: In our eyes, every opponent is stronger than us! Beat the opponent? Why? With us, we pay more and more than the opponent! You must be conscious and able to face the future opponent with a low-key but tough attitude and tell yourself in your heart: maybe you are stronger than me, but, I am better than You work harder, tougher, and don¡¯t hesitate to give everything to win! Only in this state can we end our trip to the European Cup with conscience, whether before or after the closing ceremony."


    After Aldridge finished speaking, he looked around the 22 players in the locker room and nodded and left with a serious expression.


    All the players face dignified, Beckham turned to close the locker door, locked, to ensure that no one can come in.


    As the captain, he held the second meeting of the national team''s dressing room.


    Last time, after defeating France.


    Of course, he is not planning to condemn or force the palace. Aldrich¡¯s actions are beneficial and detrimental to the England national team. Everyone knows.


    There is no doubt about the coach.


    Since England won the World Cup, the internally-derived problem is "the trouble of the rich."


    That''s why this team is so popular. Fleet Street has a lot of credit, and winning the World Cup is a catalyst.


    The national team has become a perfect stage of fame.


    Here, it is difficult to say that all people are dedicated to the public and do not have their own personal interests.


    Like Luniso''s main position, should he play the main role, is it better than Gerrard, making the England team stronger.


    First of all, he has no qualifications and stand to judge himself.


    The collective football team has strict planning.


    The coach should have the authority to say nothing, not to go to the National People''s Congress to discuss, brainstorm to build the team, build the team, or even control the team.


    At this time, the England team needs to be calm, restrain selfish desires, the mainstay must be responsible, the flowers must be gorgeous, and the green leaves must also have the consciousness of dedication and sacrifice.


    It wasn¡¯t that Aldridge blazed Beckham and changed him. How he played against France was a competitive factor. It¡¯s impossible to blame. Some players are in a bad state, which is not good, poking his backbone pain. The criticism will not change this situation, but after Beckham loses his vigour in the field, this makes the accusations and criticisms of Fleet Street against him become natural, and Beckham can¡¯t refute, and his technical ability is not good. His physical fitness will not suddenly decrease, and he will take longer to rest than some other players on the team.


    Beckham naturally has ambitions, whether or not the goal is set in the field of pure sports, since he put on the armband of the captain of the national team, he must definitely do this work and do it well, which is beneficial to his star career Disadvantages.


    The meeting held within the England team is basically to implement the requirements of Aldridge. To put it bluntly is to unify the thinking. The internal players should communicate and use the position of the same players to make everyone more united.


    Thinking about the benefits, there are three games left in the European Cup.


    If it''s not good, it''s a game.


    Winning three games, Liufang Baishi, if they lose in the middle, then they are no different from the early departure of France. They are the stepping stones for the winners. For the World Cup championship, the European Cup has any achievements other than the championship. Is a failure!


    When he returned to the hotel later, Aldridge learned that Beckham had held a team meeting. He didn¡¯t know exactly what he was talking about, but he could tell from the subtle changes in the team¡¯s atmosphere. The English team returned to that. In the state of Epee without a frontier, this made Aldridge slightly relieved, and also appreciated Beckham.


    Perhaps it was through the ups and downs and life ups and downs, Beckham¡¯s way of dealing with the crisis is commendable. After the French World War, he led his teammates to visit Southgate to show the outside world a united England. On the eve of the start of the knockout game, you can lead your teammates by setting an example. These are easier said than done, but if they do, it is extremely capable and responsible.


    The following day, all European media except Fleet Street focused on the final result of the European Cup Group B.


    The England team was pushed to the cusp.


    France regrets that they naturally have their own problems, but the England team has retained their strength in the last round of rotation, allowing Croatia to stage the final lore and eliminate France. Of course, some people will accuse the England team of being too utilitarian!


    It seems that, from the outside world, if it is England, the main force, even if it saves strength to play, as long as it shows 7 points, Croatia can not take away the victory.


    As for some media that the England team is deliberately dying France, to avoid the French team gradually improving in the final battle!


    According to the schedule, if the two teams that qualify together with the team will meet in the knockout, then it is definitely the final!


    The French team entered the state slowly, but in the third game with the Swiss team, they clearly showed some of the styles that the defending champion should have. The outside world thinks that the French team is in a state of rising. As long as it enters the knockout game, it wins two consecutive games. It''s not too difficult to enter the finals.


    And England is in the eradication of the strong enemy in the knockout.


    This view, conspiracy theory, and subjective consciousness are too strong. The actual situation is that Aldridge is not absolutely sure to lead the England team to the finals. After all, in front of them, there is an original history of the current championship, dark horse Greece!


    It''s hard to say if you can cross Greece. The finals are not far away, but the greenery is really far away.


    Since most of the main force did not play, the training after the match with Croatia was carried out as scheduled. The bench of the last game was arranged for a more relaxed recovery training. The team did not arrange even a half-day vacation time.


    On this day, the more interesting thing is the competition of Group C.


    Denmark, Sweden, Italy, Bulgaria.


    Before the game, Denmark and Sweden declared at the same time that there would be no "tacit understanding" in the game.


    Regarding Italy''s unilateral warning, the two teams from Northern Europe sneered, arguing that the Italian mafia is notorious, that the Italian football is not clean!


    Two games are played simultaneously.


    The progress of the game was beyond everyone''s expectations.


    Italy, who must win the game, was first broken by Bulgaria, and it was a penalty that made the Italian feel dazed.


    When they were 0:1 behind, the Swedish team was 0:1 behind Denmark.


    However, at the beginning of the second half, the Swedish team equalized the score, and veteran Larson fired a shot.


    Another minute later, Italy equalized.


    Both games were tied at 50 minutes.


    In the 66th minute, the Danish team scored the second goal. Thomasson, who scored twice, put the Danish team in a very good position, while Italy and Sweden came to the edge of the cliff.


    The most dramatic ending of this group was in the last 3 minutes of the game.


    The Italian team scored a reversal goal by Cassano in stoppage time and defeated Bulgaria 2-1.


    But their joy disappeared in less than 30 seconds.


    The Swedish team also completed a buzzer goal in 90 minutes!


    2:2!


    Sweden and Denmark played a "standard score" that everyone knew before the game.


    According to this score, even if Italy wins Bulgaria, there are 3 teams with 5 points in the group, but in the ranking of the new rules of this competition, the Italian team is ranked at the end because of the small number of goals scored by the three teams. Three, eliminated!


    Cassano¡¯s tears represent the disappointment of everyone in Italy.


    The Italian team bid farewell to the European Cup with 3 undefeated points and 5 points!


    On the first day, Spain left.


    The next day, France left.


    On the third day, Italy also took the luggage to leave.


    As for the Italians who denounced the two Nordic brothers known as "fair play" in Denmark, the Danish team praised Thomason, and the Swedish team praised Larsson as a model for young players after the game, which was not worth mentioning.

 Chapter 1009： Crisp

    With 2:2 between Sweden and Denmark, the final game of the England group match was halted by Croatia, which led to the conspiracy theory that France won and was eliminated immediately.


    In the morning, Aldridge sat in the hotel restaurant and enjoyed breakfast.


    Sitting by the window, a simple breakfast and mainstream newspapers were placed on the dining table. Aldridge held a cup of coffee in his right hand and a newspaper in his left to browse the news.


    Stella Maggioni came to sit opposite him and said hello: "Good morning, so early today?"


    "Well, went to bed early last night."


    Aldrich was still reading the newspaper with his eyes fixed, and he replied casually.


    Stella Maggioni picked a newspaper and picked it up to browse.


    Today''s newspaper headlines are mostly about yesterday''s Group C match report and post-match team dynamics.


    The Italians were eliminated and faced UEFA punishment.


    "It should be ashamed for them to obtain the team''s access rights in this way!"


    Italian national Buffon resentfully condemned the Nordic brothers.


    "I don''t think I''m talking too much, because the scene between the two national teams that advertise''fair play'' really shocked me!"


    "Assuming our football is not clean, now I finally see a football that is even dirtier than us!"


    "It should be them who are ashamed, not us who have been eliminated! A few days ago, people were still analyzing how likely it is that a 2:2 draw would appear, but when the game turned out to be the case, I couldn¡¯t believe it. Your own eyes! It¡¯s like when they need to make a role model in front of fans all over the world, they really do it! All those who call for a ¡°fair play¡± should open their eyes wide and see what happens Everything on the Italian team!"


    The Italian Football Association President Carraro, who previously announced that Italy will resign if the group stage is out, is out of control: "There is no doubt that the two teams reached an agreement before the game. What is worse is that they did a perfect job and did not stay. The next point is evidence that we can use."


    The anger of the Italians has not brought about a substantial change in the outcome, and this time, compared to the "unfair treatment" that occurred at the World Cup in Korea and Japan two years ago, Italy will not receive much sympathy.


    To put it bluntly, in the first two games against Sweden and Denmark, as long as they win one game, they will all be promoted!


    Since they haven''t been able to beat these two teams that qualify together, it is not too unacceptable for Italy to be eliminated.


    Their anger will lead to UEFA punishment. After all, the Italian Football Association President is also a member of the UEFA Executive Committee. Buffon''s words are too aggressive and cannot be ignored. Routine small punishments and punishments cannot be avoided.


    Stramaggioni looked at yesterday''s battle report and post-match comments. His breakfast was brought to the front by the waiter. He put down the newspaper and began to enjoy breakfast. Curious about Aldridge holding coffee in one hand and holding the newspaper in the other. Browsing around, what attracted Aldridge in the newspaper? So he looked over the probe and wanted to see what Aldridge was looking at.


    The newspaper on Fleet Street, and it is a serious newspaper in Europe.


    "The Times"


    To be honest, in the past games, Aldridge was not interested in seeing some fierce arguments.


    So a lot of newspapers were placed on the table, and many of them glanced at it with a double glance.


    But the British newspaper will take him a lot of time.


    Fleet Street is the center of European media and can be said to be the European heartland of public opinion platforms, with a huge influence on communication.


    The same is true for the football section, and their "star-making" ability is a must.


    But Fleet Street is not as dark as the crows in the world.


    In other words, it can cater to the public''s appetite most broadly.


    Focusing on England is not just blind hype and bragging, there are indeed many talented people who use the media platform to follow England and issue constructive and thought-provoking articles.


    Aldrich browsed the news before the opening of the European Cup, and also focused on the media of Fleet Street, because Fleet Street is essentially the most concerned about the performance of England. If England goes home early, their newspaper sales will definitely decline, and only England will continue Existing on the stage of the European Cup, Fleet Street newspaper sales will have a higher guarantee.


    Otherwise, the mainstream consumer group, would the British particularly care about what other teams did in the European Cup? Once England is out, they won''t care who wins the championship.


    With this in-depth factor, Fleet Street''s reports and articles surrounding England, many of which are for England.


    Long-term unrealistic, short-term goals are often the focus of public opinion.


    How to deal with France?


    How to deal with Switzerland?


    Analysing enemy conditions, looking forward to the game, and knowledgeable writers will also be very professional in predicting opponents'' formations, how to avoid weaknesses, how to deal with England, let England be vigilant, and so on.


    Aldridge is browsing these articles, some of which will enlighten him, and some will indeed give him a warning.


    This is completely different from the club.


    When he led Millwall to the South, he would never refer to the suggestions and opinions given by the media, and he would even take the initiative to block the disregard and avoid disturbing his own thinking, because Millwall''s defeat is the most able to stimulate newspaper sales. , And Millwall lost a goal, may not have a decisive impact on the team a season.


    To face Greece, Aldridge must admit that for this European Cup expedition, despite the team¡¯s good record, early qualifying, winning is also convincing, but his thinking is not unified, and there have been no small fluctuations .


    This effect is caused by many reasons. The qualifiers in the English qualifiers are smooth, the opponents are not strong, and the gold content is insufficient. What level of team strength is there? The French team has its own problems, and it is difficult for him to defeat the defending champion and represent England. The team has risen to a certain level of substantive level, just like defeating Argentina in the World Cup group stage two years ago. At that time, he would not think that game was a milestone because Argentina was overestimated too much.


    At the same time, Southgate''s injury retreated. This change requires him to fine-tune the team''s tactics. Perhaps this change is not worth mentioning to many people. Terry''s strength is obvious to all, but Aldridge is confident. His grasp of details and acuity is worth his vigilance.


    Plus the mentality of a group of world champion players and so on.


    The seemingly calm Aldridge actually has some hesitant signs.


    He knew very well that this was not a good sign.


    He needs a clearer way of thinking to stabilize himself. This has nothing to do with whether his emotions are calm or not, but because he is confident in the overall situation.


    Play against Greece soon.


    The reason for Aldridge''s restlessness before breakfast this morning is actually simple.


    The offensive of the England team is still based on disrupting the opponent''s attack, destroying the opponent''s attack, and then quickly threatening the opponent.


    Would you like to fight Greece like this?


    He has no idea.


    If this is possible.


    In the original history, why was France, known as the most advanced technical and tactical system at that time, planted? Why did the Czech Republic, where the offensive football was so messed up, fall? Why do the people of the right place and the occupied host Portugal fall twice in a pit?


    Interpretation from the overall situation, the Greek team played anti-anti, the opponent attacked, France, Czech Republic, Portugal, three teams with good firepower failed to defeat Greece, and then Greece counterattack won.


    Corresponding to today''s England, Aldridge''s thinking is in trouble, the reason is: how can England compare with France, the Czech Republic, and Portugal simply on the offensive and attacking ability?


    More goals does not mean a stronger offensive ability.


    It''s like Spain being squeezed out of Greece. Greece relies on more goals than Spain to advance. But who dares to say that Greece has a stronger offensive ability than Spain?


    At this time, someone sent ¡°during rain¡± to Aldridge.


    It was the "Times" he held in his hand that made him look at it, browsed word by word, carefully pondered its meaning and self-thinking.


    The chief sports columnist of the Times, the 52-year-old writer who has spent time writing for the Times in the past 22 years, has published an article that Aldridge could not understand at first glance, because senior writers will show off Talented, like David Miller will throw a Greek philosophy to metaphorically describe what happened in the football world. If you don¡¯t understand philosophical thinking and do not understand, you can¡¯t understand what he wants to express. As for Audridge, he could not understand.


    But if someone explains it, he can understand it, and apply it in the field of football, quickly understand it, and understand and think deeply.


    Barnes''s article refers to a "rule". At first, Aldridge didn''t understand it, thinking that it was another kind of rhetoric. Fortunately, Barnes briefly elaborated this "rule" theory in the article.


    "In England before 2001, it looked like the best interpretation of the''Quintin Crisp Rule''.


    Crisp said this: Never chase the people next to you, hold them down, and let them level with you.


    Unfortunately, England was not Crisp for a long time in the past.


    They are always those''next to people'' who are always dragged down and become the same level as their opponents.


    This phenomenon occurs because England¡¯s determination and national spirit cannot perform better than its opponents-no matter who his opponent is.


    England is as good as the best and as bad as the worst.


    Everything depends on who their opponent is.


    Who does this remind you of? Let me give you a hint: It is the end of June and the strawberries are ripening. That¡¯s right, I¡¯m talking about Tim Henman (a famous British tennis player).


    Henman, likewise, can compete with the best players, only to lose a little courage. But in the same way, he played against low-rank players like a routine, first won the first set easily, and then began to send opportunities to opponents. Henman never wins easily. He can stage a dramatic scene with any lead in five sets, and then slow down three sets. It seems that this is his style.


    The same is true of the style of England, they can hit the opponent''s chin, but never step on the opponent''s head. They always give opponents another chance, which is a virtue of humanity, which is also becoming a trouble for the football team.


    Before 2001, the World Cup, the European Cup, and the qualifiers, England always desperately defeated its opponents. This seems to be commendable, but we have regrets for more than thirty years, even It is in the games we win that we often find that our opponents will be''charged'' by the red card, but England will always become a decisive determinant after receiving the red card itself, not to mention the countless defeats at the last minute, all this, All because England is always desperate, facing the strong, desperate to win, and facing the weak, also desperate.


    Don''t be fooled by scoring goals. England will always score goals, and there will always be games won, so it often leads people to draw a false point of view. In some games where England must win leisurely, in fact, they win desperately, go all out, keep their eyes open, and even lose control. But at least they won, damn, at least.


    When people cheered for England to win the game, people probably forgot that before the game many people vowed to win the game, even against the weak, but in fact when we enjoyed the victory, we felt that we were watching the game, and the process was too thrilling. It''s the excitement that celebrates after the game, but it''s actually a heart gratification: Fortunately, we won.


    Here, I must explain that after Sir Hall took office as the coach of the England national team, it was quite similar to the''Quintin Crisp Rule'' in terms of building a team, but that was just to put England in the context of the''weaker'' role. .


    Now that England is recognized as a "strong man", how to "treat bully" after becoming a "strong man", Sir Hall should know how to do it, because Millwall''s incomparable success is the best interpretation, but England is not Milwaukee. Yes, England''s opponent, Greece, has already understood and practiced what Crisp said. "

 Chapter 1010： Hot and Dark Horse

    Simon Barnes''s column article made Aldridge look completely oblivious. He didn''t even notice that he maintained a posture for nearly 10 minutes!


    Quentin Crisp is who Aldridge was not interested in knowing, but what he said, the rules, the words written by Barnes, seemed to enchant Aldridge.


    "Never chase the people next to you, hold them down, and let them level with you."


    This sentence kept echoing in Aldridge''s mind.


    Even with a look back at Barnes''s analysis, Aldridge''s thinking also went on at the same time.


    He can also understand why Barnes said that the early construction of the national team was placed in the role of "weaker" and achieved success.


    Because the gap between the two sides should be narrowed on the football field, the mainstream means is utilitarian and defensive!


    In those games where the gap between strengths and weaknesses is wide, more than 90% of the weak teams rely on defensive counterattacks to destroy the strong, but it is not possible that the full-court offensive suppresses the strong and devastates the strong. It''s bigger and it doesn''t live up to its name.


    England''s early utilitarian, self-regarding the weak, the team can do so, because of the defeat of the European Cup, the World Cup qualifiers have a poor record, and there is the danger of missing the World Cup. How can they be proud? No amount of confidence and arrogance has been crushed.


    Use utilitarianism, pragmatism, and defensive counterattack to allow yourself to hold down opponents who are stronger than them. The gap between the two is narrowed, and then seize the opportunity to give the opponent a fatal blow. This is the survival philosophy of the weak and is widely used. use.


    What makes Aldridge think deeply is that Barnes said that he is good at applying this rule because of Millwall''s success.


    The strong will definitely not take the initiative to narrow the gap with the weak.


    But Barnes used a very commendable term.


    "England must go to a leisurely victory game"


    laid back?


    On the football field, leisure is not a testimonial!


    In the traditional concept of the English, what exists on the football field is **** fighting, fighting life and death.


    Aldridge can understand that Barnes does not want to express the leisurely players walking on the court.


    It''s a kind of control over the game!


    This is also a key factor in Millwall''s success, ruling the game.


    England did not have the technical and tactical style of "controlling the game" before. Even now, there are few teams in the English football team that can use the "controlling game" to the fullest. On the one hand, the competition is fierce and it is too difficult to do it. On the other hand is the influence of traditional English style.


    Aldrich thinks more and Lenovo is more abundant. When the Premier League catches up and is popular in the world, how can the Premier League brand successfully promote overseas?


    At first, it must have been a crazy game rhythm, and this rhythm is beyond the control of both teams in the game, which is similar to the "out of control"!


    It is also because the dramatic progress of the game is even more fascinating when it is out of control. If everyone has the consciousness of "controlling the game" and put it into practice, it will be difficult for the overall pace of the game to accelerate for a long time.


    In the future, many fans who do not like Barcelona and Spain are also because the control of these two teams is too strong, and they are so powerful that they do not accelerate to a critical moment, so the game becomes a long-tempo lullaby.


    Aldrich¡¯s eyes gradually brightened, and Barnes¡¯s masterpiece made his thinking very clear. He could roughly understand the style and technical and tactical system of Greece. However, the core philosophy was not fully understood. Barnes gave With his revelation, he was able to position himself to anticipate the changing trend of the situation between the two armies on the field.


    Rehagel''s Greek team didn''t just hold all the strong teams, so that they reached the same level in the abstract sense at a certain moment of the game, and then won the sneak attack? !


    There must be luck in it, but the core strength is the foundation, because luck will not always appear on the same team, and it will appear continuously!


    Stella Maggioni stared at Aldridge with strange eyes, his breakfast had been eaten, and Aldridge remained immobile for ten minutes, it seemed to be thinking about something, the expression only changed slightly, frowning at first, and finally Yuyu opened Then, after taking action, he took a sip of coffee and showed an uncomfortable expression, apparently because the coffee was cold, which made him unexpected.


    Aldridge put down the newspaper, and then asked the waiter to give him a cup of coffee, then continued his breakfast easily.


    Stella Maggioni took the newspaper he had just laid down and browsed it, and he read Barnes'' article without any particular feeling.


    To be honest, columns like Barnes and David Miller look lively at the layman and watch the door at the layman.


    Those standing on the threshold are confused.


    I can''t understand what it means to "have to win leisurely", and I can''t really understand what bullying and bullying in quotes are expressing.


    Stramagioni didn''t understand what attracted Audridge in this article.


    He asked curiously: "This column report is very connotative?"


    Aldridge finished a cup of coffee, took a napkin and wiped his mouth, smiling: "This article, uh, um, can help England increase the probability of defeating Greece, about 20% increase rate, hehehe."


    "what?"


    Stramagioni exclaimed, he looked down at the article again, as if he wanted to see the mystery from inside.


    After having breakfast, Aldridge immediately went to the training ground to wait for the players.


    How to deal with Greece, he has a substantial countermeasure!


    He will not give ideological education lessons to the national team members and explain Barnes''s article to them. That doesn''t make any sense. He just needs to tell the players what to do in the game to win. That''s enough!


    ...


    The European Cup group stage came to an end when the entire English team was focused on preparing for the quarter-finals against Greece in Aldridge.


    The Netherlands defeated Latvia with 3 goals and scored 4 points.


    The fate of the Dutch team is not in their hands, because before the last round of the start, the Dutch team had only 1 point, and the Czech team in the same group made 6 points ahead of the match. The German team is even in both games. As long as the Czech team is won, the German team will Will get the team''s second qualifying.


    The situation in this group is the same as the situation before the start of the final round of Group B of the England team in Group 99%. The difference of 1% is only in the number of goals and losses.


    Unlike the final loss of the England group stage game to Croatia, although the Czech team has also released water, such as the absolute main force like Nedved, and the young rookie Rosicky did not play, but the German team in the advanced ball situation, It was actually reversed by the Czech team!


    The Czech team advanced to the top 8 with a record of three wins!


    The Dutch team also reached the quarterfinals with the group second.


    After the German team returned home in the last European Cup group stage, this European Cup group was also eliminated after the same group stage!


    The reform of the German team is imperative. The local World Cup still has two years to go. For the national team, it is a time constraint. The German Football Association immediately started to change coaches after the German team defeated the European Cup. Smann was recalled to the country, and Beckenbauer supported the lovers to lead the German team into the era of the new era!


    ...


    After the end of the group stage, the European Cup battles are still staged continuously, without a day off.


    Host Portugal and Croatia''s quarter-finals are about to start at the Lisbon Bright Stadium.


    Aldrich has focused on preparing for Greece in the English training camp for two consecutive days. He will not overthrow the established tactical policy of the England team. On this basis, adjustments will be made to respond to the first battle with Greece.


    At the pre-match press conference, Aldridge expressed his fear of Greece.


    "Being able to break through in the group with Portugal and Spain, the Greek team has proved its strength. At the end of the group stage of the European Cup, there have been four traditional strong teams left. This phenomenon is worthy of vigilance in England, Spain, France and Germany. , Italy, these teams have very strong strength, England and they are at a level where there is no obvious gap, they have been eliminated, why not England? We must pay attention to the Greek team, can not go to the fantasy semi-finals and In the final, if we are a little distracted, maybe the quarter-finals will be the end of the European Cup for England."


    Speaking of Rehagel, the man who once played against Aldridge in the World Preliminaries, England also defeated Greece, but Aldridge shook his head.


    "Historical record is meaningless, absolutely not! You only said half right, your defeat? Yes, I did lead England to defeat Greece led by Rehagel, but that was only a game more than two years ago, 90 minutes A game of no significance to tomorrow¡¯s game. England is about to face a brand-new Greece, Rehagel will definitely cause trouble for England, just as they beat Portugal and draw Spain, he has This ability, the Greek team also has this ability. England? I certainly hope to advance to the semi-finals, but the football world is not a fairy tale world."


    ...


    On this day, the host Portugal, with Deco and Figo and Ronaldo''s excellent play 2: 0, sent Croatia home and became the first team to advance to the semi-finals.


    The next day, Aldridge led his team to leave the hotel and took a bus to the Alvara Stadium.


    In Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, there are two top Portuguese domestic teams, Atletico Lisbon and Benfica Club.


    Lisbon Light Stadium is the home stadium of Benfica Club.


    The Alvadra Stadium belongs to the Atletico Lisbon Club.


    On the way to the Alvara Stadium, the players on the English bus looked serious. For three consecutive days, Aldridge used practical actions to remind them that they must pay great attention to Greece, which can be said to have reached the level of three orders.


    According to Aldrich''s authority on the team, if he does so, it will inevitably make nobody in the team dare to take it lightly.


    This is very different from playing the French team.


    Just like in the past against Germany, against Argentina, against Brazil, and now against France in the European Cup, Aldridge does not need to remind the players.


    Everyone in the world knows that their opponents are strong!


    England is not sure to win!


    Of course, he will be alert to his opponents and lower his posture to play.


    However, unlike Greece, their weak image will reduce the vigilance of their opponents. In their posture, the strong will of course stand in contempt for their opponents.


    If Aldrich does not deliberately aggravate this warning, relying on serious training to prepare for war is difficult to have a big effect on the competition.


    Two hours before the game, the England team arrived at the Alvara Stadium, which is slightly smaller than the Lisbon Bright Stadium and is also a five-star stadium reviewed and evaluated by UEFA.


    After the warm-up training, Aldridge once again reiterated the tactical requirements of today''s game in the locker room.


    The players didn''t know how many times they listened, but before the game, no one dared to express impatience.


    In the past seven years, Aldridge has never been overturned by a ditch. At a critical moment, his role as coach will be very prominent and important. If the players dare to question or despise Aldridge¡¯s words and deeds at this time, the coach is nervous and nervous. , Then, they are foolish and hopelessly hopeless, because Aldridge has experienced more big scenes than them, no one is giving the championship trophy to Aldridge, all of them are cruel and fierce. Looted mercilessly!


    Especially in this competition, the European Cup.


    No one will question Aldridge''s ambitions.


    If you get the European Cup, Aldridge will become the legendary coach of the football world!

 Chapter 1011： Offense and defense changes

    Aldridge walked into the Alvadra stadium as a warrior. His expression was serious, his eyes were sharp and divine, he could not see signs of excitement or ease, and majesty and dignity coexisted.


    The Alvara stadium is full, and the number of Greek fans is far from comparable to that of the fans of England. In terms of external factors, the England team is superior to the Greece team.


    The main lineup of the England team who made the advance round is more energetic than the Greek team. The English team is familiar with Lisbon. There is no journey to prepare for here. The Greek group stage is mainly played in the Porto side.


    After two and a half years, Aldridge and Rehagel met again on the sidelines. The two coaches shook hands to greet each other, and then came to their respective coaches to stand still.


    England is strong, Greece is weak.


    World recognized!


    However, in the eyes of the two coaches, their respective ambitions and grasp of the focus of the game, will not easily settle the game trend.


    England needs to be vigilant and Greece needs patience.


    The chances of the strong should be more in theory, but as the Quentin Crisp rule states: hold down the opponent!


    The Greek team will use defense to hold England, and then look for opportunities to give England a heavy blow!


    If England does not prepare, especially psychological preparation, it will be anxious when the strong attack can not be achieved, which will affect the game.


    This is a very delicate game situation.


    In the summer heat and passion, the Greek team and the England team entered the field at sunset. The horn of the second quarter-final battle was blowing!


    "The Shinco World Cup champion England team and the dark horse Greece team that are attracting attention in this competition are about to compete for the semi-final place. At the Alvadra stadium, this game of disparity between strength and weakness is about to start. Let the main team get a good rest, the Greek team fight with Russia to the last minute, although they lost to Russia, they were lucky to qualify for the quarterfinals, let''s take a look at the starting list of both sides.


    England 442.


    Goalkeeper: Robinson.


    Defenders: Gary Neville, Campbell, Terry, Ashley Cole.


    Midfielders: Beckham, Hargreaves, Scholes, Lampard.


    Forwards: Irving, Gerrard.


    The Greek team started with 451.


    Goalkeeper: Nicopolidis.


    Defenders: Caphis, Setaridis, Dras, Fissa.


    Midfielders: Catharanis, Basinas, Zagoraquis, Yannakpolos, Karagounis.


    Forward: Charlie Stasi.


    The game is about to start, after this game, another team will bid farewell to the European Cup, but we hope that the team that continues and the team that leaves will leave the audience with a classic battle before the end! "


    Aldrich reviewed the start of the Greek team in a circle, and there were no unexpected candidates. After all, Greece has limited talents. The selection of personnel in the platoon formation is relatively stretched, and the change is changing. It is nothing more than the team¡¯s tactical play. In this way, the reputation of Rehagel''s tactical master is undisputed.


    The Greek team''s starting line seems to be 451, but in fact this statically balanced formation does not have a reference value.


    When they are defending, they are generally 541. If they are carefully divided, they will be dragged by the scavengers to prevent their opponents from penetrating the ball. When attacking, the two full-backs will not have large assists. They will only reach the midfield at most. Acting nearby will not go deeper into the opponent''s half, to avoid being exposed on the sidelines after being counterattacked.


    The England team''s game will be very difficult, because the Greek team happens to be a play that absolutely restrains all offensive football''s offensive formations.


    Extreme anti-reverse!


    541 is nothing special, not every team playing 541 can play the effect of the Greek team, creating a miracle like the Greek team, so the defense of the Greek team is very representative. After all, their players¡¯ personal strength is not Outstanding, the team''s overall centripetal force and chemical reaction played a key role.


    At the start of the game, the England team kicked off.


    Rehagel played up his spirit and concentrated on observing the England team''s fighting stance in this game.


    He is not afraid of the offensive of the England team.


    Every opponent encountered by the Greek team will press them to attack, even if Russia is no exception, they can write offense data of 18 shots and 9 hits on them!


    Today''s Rehagel is very similar to what Aldridge thought two years ago.


    If you are not afraid of your opponent attacking, you are afraid that your opponent will not attack!


    Only opponents attack, attack, and then attack.


    Fail, fail, and fail again.


    When the strong lose their patience, lose their composure and calmness, or continue to increase their offensive strength, the empty space exposed in the backcourt is clear at a glance, and this is the natural soil for the Greek team to fight back!


    England!


    Attack!


    Take the pride of your strongmen to your heart''s content, attack and oppress you!


    If you can''t kill me, I will take your life when you are not ready!


    What Rehagel wanted was that England would hand it in after the opening.


    England attacked!


    Owen topped the front and pressed against the Greek team''s back line. Because the Greek team has a scavenger, their position is relatively delayed. They usually dare not create offside, especially because of the large number of defenders and the higher requirement for collective understanding. In case a person slows down one step and is turned offside by the other party, they will fall short.


    Coupled with Owen''s fast speed and the characteristics of running position, the Greek team is afraid to make an offside in this game.


    When Irving pressed up to the front and stepped on the line of the restricted area, Rehagel calmed down and the players on the Greek team were calm as usual.


    Behind Irving, Gerald, Lampard, Scholes, Beckham, the four acted with a dislocated asymmetric flat diamond shape, which has both depth and rear protection measures, making the entire frontcourt offensive system The distribution is balanced and flexible.


    Ashley Cole''s position has just crossed the center line, Gary Neville on the other side is parallel to Ashley Cole''s position, and the two full-backs have only crossed the half-foot less than 3 meters.


    Scholes also just sorted out the attack in the area in front of the top of the arc.


    Behind the **** head, Hargreaves and Campbell were approximately parallel to the misalignment, and Terry dragged the last.


    The England team has also changed today, both offense and defense.


    The changes on the offensive end, Rehagel can''t see it for the time being, it is impossible to make a conclusion based on the position of the player alone, it takes time to slowly observe.


    The defensive end of England''s general position of defending players when offensive, let Rehagel look slightly trance, bowing his head and contemplating.


    England''s double centre-backs did not have a parallel position. It seemed that Terry was behind, and Campbell pushed up.


    The march to war pays attention to a camp layout to test the commander''s commanding ability, just like Sima Yi in the Three Kingdoms period after Zhuge Liang withdrew his army and only looked at the ruined camp layout of the Shu Army, but gave Zhuge Liang a "Wizard of the World" evaluation.


    There is a similar situation on the football field. Rehagal, who has been immersed in this way for many years, only looks at the position of the rear defense position after the opening of England. He can feel it without too much reasoning and thought. Aldridge''s tactical talent.


    Two and a half years ago, the two played against each other. Greece lost to England. Rehagel did not care about it. At that time, the Greek team was not strong, and there were problems with the dressing room in the team. Later, he cleaned a group of people. , Promoted a group of people, regrouped, and built the team into the fastest time, the time is very urgent, which makes them almost unable to advance to the European Cup, because they lost in the first two games of the qualifiers .


    The first 3 minutes of the game passed.


    Rehagel smelled a bad breath.


    He felt fear and surprise inside.


    3 minutes, 180 seconds.


    The Greek team has never encountered a ball!


    England is passing, passing, passing all the time!


    Lampard passed back to Ashley Cole, the latter passed Scholes, Scholes then passed Beckham diagonally, Beckham passed back obliquely to Gerald, Gerald kept the ball Pass the ball back to Scholes, who then passes diagonally to Lampard...


    What is England doing?


    Short pass indefinitely?


    No osmotic pass and running position at all!


    The audience in the stands also wondered.


    Greek fans booed England, but English fans were puzzled what magic was being imposed on their team today.


    As if to lose the courage to play a threatening attack!


    I am afraid that only Aldridge is praising England, and Rehagel frowns with anxiety.


    In just 3 minutes, England''s posture has changed dramatically with what he thought.


    That''s right, the England team''s offense overwhelmed half.


    The full-backs are all past halftime!


    There were only four players in the second half of his home.


    Goalkeeper, double central defender, single midfielder.


    Including Hargreaves, England''s players in the Greek half are all involved in the pass and the foot is cautious!


    At the end of the fourth minute, the England team finally launched a threatening offensive.


    Beckham passed the ball to Scholes, who passed directly to Gerald in front of him. Gerald passed the ball diagonally back to do it, followed by a heavy shot from Lampard.


    The defense of the Greek team in the first 4 minutes is divided into two parts. The back line will not easily grab, ensuring that the number of defenders in the dangerous zone of the penalty area and the compression space will not give England any space to run.


    The midfielders, including the forwards, returned to the half to fight back, the positions are clearly distributed, the side has a defensive defense, the middle has a double back protection, and the striker retreats to the center midfielder area to spare no effort to fight back.


    However, no matter how they rob, the actual number of offense and defense is at a disadvantage.


    Because England did not push the threat of attack to the front line, to the center of the opponent''s big penalty area, as long as the England team does not run forward and does not pass the ball, the number of their fall feet will always be more than the Greek team to participate in anti-rob interception More people!


    What Rehagel is worried about is that in these nearly 100 backward passes, the England team''s back pass, he didn''t care, the back pass, the offensive and defensive situation returned to the original static, as long as the Greek team did not rush out to intercept, The England team is reorganizing the attack.


    But England''s lateral pass.


    That is to say, with Lampard, Scholes, Beckham, and Gerald, passing the ball to pass the ball from left to right, from right to left, and so on, let Le Hagerla The alarm sounded.


    The tactical effect of horizontal transfer is to tear the defenses parallel to the defense line, that is to say, the defender line or the midfield line. As the ball moves laterally, they need to move as a whole to compress the defensive space closer to the ball. If the England team Once the transfer is made, a wave of adventurous offensive is forward, then the defense movement of the Greek team is effective, and the defense is not the result. At least this movement process is absolutely correct and effective, but the England team transfers after the transfer, The Greek team must also passively follow the move, how many people are running with the English pass? How many people are forced by the Greek team to move laterally?


    This will first consume the physical energy of the Greek team. Compared with the shuttle up and down, it is very intuitive. The Greek team plays the ultimate anti-reverse, and the attack depends on so few people. The physical energy consumption of running up and down is actually not large. England is obviously using it today. Course width to consume them!


    At the same time, because Gerald''s position is close to Irving, once Gerald catches the ball, it will sound the early warning signal of the entire back line of the Greek team, so Gerald just kicks the ball and can''t even find the distance. There will be a long pass to kick the ball back to England''s full-back or midfielder. No matter how he passes and who passes, Gerrard can bring enough panic and tension to the Greek team.


    What if he stopped the ball and started to break through? What if he cooperates with the teammate who was plugged in or passes to Irving?


    In the frequent movement of the defensive line, the defensive air will be exposed inadvertently, although it is not obvious, it can not block the long-range shot of the England team!


    Lampard''s long-range shot directly hit the goal. The ball was shuttled between the two defenders of the opponent. Unfortunately, the shooting angle was somewhat positive, and the goalkeeper was firmly in his arms.


    Then, England retreated and the overall formation remained almost unchanged, retreating back 20 yards, waiting for the Greek team''s attack.

 Chapter 1012： Weird data

    Although this is not a tactical contest.


    The Greek team is the ultimate anti-reverse, but the England team is not a crazy offensive!


    Aldrich and Rehagel understood.


    The tactical confrontation in this game is the basis for laying the overall trend.


    This is a confrontation of tactical discipline and psychological quality.


    The Greek team is absolutely subject to Lehhagel¡¯s tactical arrangements. If England loses to the Greek team at this point, any other efforts will be in vain.


    At the same time, it is also an invisible psychological war.


    Compare the psychological qualities of both sides.


    Whoever can''t stand the pressure first, loses his calmness, and loses his composure will lose control of the game.


    The Greek team will unswervingly defend and counterattack, and will always have just a few players to attack, without letting the defense expose a deadly empty.


    Before the counterattack, there is also a foreshadowing.


    That is to use their tenacious and solid defense to shape the game situation!


    Superficially speaking, both England and Greece are using "control" to seduce their opponents and flirt with them, causing them to lose their calmness.


    The seduce of the England team in the frontcourt, they frequently cross the transfer, control the ball power, hesitate to return in a wide range when the ball may be lost or the pass is in a deadlock, and they are not willing to lose the ball. In this process, it is to lure the Greek team. Will the Greek team lose their calmness and collapse under pressure when they do not get the ball for a long time? At a certain point, a player hastily grabbed a tight line of defense to expose the space available to England?


    The seduction of the Greek team is that after the defense is successful, they will not be eager to invest in the offense immediately when they switch from the defense. The time for the counter-attack teammates to run out of position, ran out of time, and the various positions of the offensive system are ready. Then, if the opponent loses his calm and madness to counter the frontcourt, their counterattack will be launched quickly. The wind generally passes through the midfield and is advancing In the process, the opponent was panicked and panicked, and then the soldiers came to the city!


    It is not only a test of the psychological quality of the two teams, but also the execution of tactical discipline.


    Everyone can''t defend!


    The England team''s posture seems extremely oppressive and aggressive in the scene.


    There is no doubt that their players are stronger in the team.


    When the England team retreated 20 yards and the heavy troops waited for the Greek team to attack in the midfield, Rehagel was no longer surprised but shocked!


    The Greek team can only fight back!


    In positional warfare, they definitely cannot create good opportunities.


    First of all, the creativity of the core of the organization is limited, and secondly, the ability of the player to assault alone can not be expected. In order to protect the defense, the positional attack that advances layer by layer requires more teammates to move forward to create a pass opportunity. The Greek team is not the way to play.


    So their offense only died after passing the midfield.


    Gary Neville''s defensive success, the England team regrouped and returned to the rhythm of the previous organization offensive.


    Short pass, horizontal transfer, occasionally steadily forward threatening the opponent''s defense line, when the shooting angle is exposed in front of the penalty area and there are teammates capable of long-range shots, they will take a long-range shot, although it is outside the penalty area, but also repeatedly hit Long-range threat!


    Aldridge watched the battle with quiet colors on the sidelines.


    He is very satisfied with England today, temporarily.


    People in the world often say that "the flaw does not conceal one''s imagination." This term is definitely hated by the head coach in the football field.


    Defects are defects, and must be corrected in a timely manner, and these cannot be ignored because of good results.


    The England group stage came out ahead of time. Before that, Aldridge had a fire. The England team came to the stage of the current knockout. The professional quality of the team showed that Aldridge was satisfied.


    They firmly implemented Aldridge''s tactical arrangements, without any slack, and perfectly controlled the game!


    perfect! Absolutely perfect!


    Because the offensive of the Greek team simply cannot advance the England midfielder area!


    They will always be attacked by England in the midfield area.


    England''s advantage in the number of midfielders, the offensive and defensive density is amazing!


    Both teams must be afraid.


    The English team did not dare to press the front line, the Greek team did not dare to invest more troops in the offense.


    But under such circumstances, the England team will have an advantage.


    Scholes, Gerrard, Lampard, not Beckham, these three alone.


    Long-range ability is the first-class level in UEFA!


    This is England''s advantage.


    England did not attack the restricted area of ??the Greek team, fell in the midfield, consumed the opponent, tore the opponent''s midfield line, and came out freely for a long shot!


    As time goes by, England will have a second advantage to be activated.


    Position the ball!


    The England team is accumulating advantages and mentally oppressing their opponents, causing the opponents to panic. When the opponent is consumed to a certain extent, and the transfer frequency cannot keep up with England, it will inevitably take fouls. By then, Beckham¡¯s golden right foot will be there. Use it!


    Break the three magic weapons of intensive defense, long-range, positioning ball, personal breakthrough.


    England is not good at personal breakthroughs, simply don''t!


    After playing the game for nearly 20 minutes, they hit 6 long-range shots, 4 feet hit the goal range, shot in the penalty area: 0, personal breakthrough: 0.


    Possession rate should set a record for the European Cup!


    Close to 80%!


    The number of passes, if carried on at this pace, should also set a record!


    The Greek team wants to hold back England so that the two sides are at the same level, but now, who is holding back?


    The offensive ability of the Greek team is actually very general, pay attention to efficiency, rely on counterattack.


    In the 270 minutes of the three games of the group stage, they only shot 30 feet and hit the goal range with 10 feet.


    In other words, an average of 9 minutes, they can create a shot, an average of 27 minutes, they can only have a shot to hit the opponent''s goal.


    And this stat is still higher in the battle with Russia, because in that 90-minute game, Russia is not strong, they shot 12 feet.


    Rehagel was calm on the surface, but there was a desperate tremor in his heart.


    If England''s 90-minute, even 120-minute, is now playing at this rhythm, the Greek team can only beat England by luck!


    With luck on them, the England team''s threatened long shots all failed to return!


    Even after the game, there will be no obvious gap between the two sides'' physical performance. The English team does not need to wait for work. The journey is also superior to the Greek team. The current playing method is obviously more expensive. The Greek team, even if it can be two or three Cooperating with the attack to the depth of the frontcourt, forcing the England team to retreat in a wide range of vertical shuttles. In that case, everyone''s physical consumption may not widen the gap, because the Greek offense can also achieve the purpose of consuming opponents.


    However, Aldridge''s defensive layout today is interlocking.


    After Terry drags and Campbell tops, Hargreaves will adapt to the direction of the Greek offense center. If the Greek team walks on the sidelines, only two players can pass at the same time. Then England has both full-backs and There is Hargreaves. In the speed competition, the Greek team has no obvious advantage. The England defender does not press forward, defends frontally, guards the space behind him, and pursues the containment of Greece¡¯s penetration.


    Greece has less offensive troops, and the center of defense is in the penalty area. The English team not only fully occupied the advantage of midfield offense and defense, but also controlled the situation to consume the Greek team.


    To say that the most relaxed person in the England team must be goalkeeper Robinson, who played 30 minutes in the first half. Mo said that he withstood the test of the opponent''s shooting. He didn''t even take a goal kick!


    Irving also disappeared into the view of the audience in front of the TV. However, the existence of Irving made the Greek team''s back line must stay in the penalty area!


    The Greek team blocked Owen with a scavenger, double guards, and a triangular position. The Greek team did not dare to change this defensive system.


    3 defense 1, sounds exaggerated, but it is not.


    First of all, one-on-one is definitely unstoppable. What about two-on-1? Maybe, maybe not. After all, Greece¡¯s defender is not Europe¡¯s first-class level. Secondly, remove one to go up to strengthen the midfield interception or control. Then, the England team plugs in after the middle, whether Gerald or Lampard, Even Scholes, the Greek team may be in danger in the penalty area.


    The truth on the football field is simple. The closer to the goal, the greater the threat.


    This is why England has a long-passing style, which is to pursue the fastest attack and create opportunities in the most threatening areas.


    So Portugal and Spain did not take advantage of Greece, the big reason is that they were always eager to hit the offense in the most threatening area, which is the restricted area of ??the Greek team, and there, it happens to be the most stable defense of the Greek team. zone!


    Portugal does not have a top center, while Spain is a weak forward. When the offense is repeatedly frustrated, it is inevitable that it will lose its psychological balance, or it will be crazy to attack and the backcourt will be exposed.


    England not only strengthened its strengths and avoided shortcomings today, but also avoided the advantage of the Greek team in terms of tactical height.


    Repeated long shots and hitting the goal range will inevitably make the Greek team nervous, but they have no way.


    In the strategy against Greece, Aldridge made the Greek team completely unable to see the slightest hope of defeating the English team today!


    boom!


    The Alvara Stadium exclaimed.


    Scholes walked back with his head shook his hair and sighed.


    His shot shocked the Greek team in a cold sweat, a very high-quality long shot, but lacking some luck, hit the beam and flew!


    The first half ended after Scholes shot the crossbar far away, and the referee did not give stoppage time because the game went very smoothly.


    When the whistle sounded, Aldridge turned to the player''s channel, his expression was normal, and Rehagel looked very worried. Looking at Aldridge''s back, the powerlessness in his heart was very obvious.


    "At the end of the first half of the game, England and Greece temporarily played 0:0. This may be a very boring first half. Both teams did not create obvious opportunities. The shot in the penalty area was zero. But there was an order We are surprised that the technical statistics are worth mentioning. The England team completed a 12-foot shot in the first half and hit a goal within 7 feet! This statistic alone has exceeded Portugal and Spain in the game against Greece in the whole game. Statistics, in the 90-minute game, Spain and Portugal have only completed 11 shots in front of the Greek team, only 2 shots hit the goal range, and England, fans who may not watch the game live, will feel that the England team The game was very fierce, but on the contrary, the England team never sent a pass to the penalty area! This is really an incredible game, what is Sir Hall thinking about?"

 Chapter 1013： General

    Before the Barcelona Dream III turned out to dominate Europe, football games, even the competition statistics, did not pay much attention to the ball control statistics.


    For example, in the real-time technical statistics of the European Cup, there is no data on the possession rate. If there is, the England team will make the Greek team very embarrassed.


    As for the shooting data, especially in the 45-minute comparison between Spain and Portugal in the 90-minute battle with Greece, it is normal for England to dominate.


    Portugal and Spain are fighting against Greece according to the traditional mainstream thinking, hoping to complete the shot in the area closer to the goal, only to try their luck when there is no way, maybe to get the opponent with a world wave. Under the circumstances, it is normal for the data to be unsightly. It can even be said that losing and being tied is not unreasonable.


    While England is prepared, premeditated, and fighting in a way that was not expected by Greece, it is reasonable to have such data.


    Statistics are sometimes deceiving, and sometimes they depict the game from the side, but they are not decisive. The key is to see who scores the most goals.


    Aldridge does not pursue data such as ball control rate and number of passes. If he can pass a pass to create a threat, then he must be the best. However, in the face of Greece, the player who can pass a deadly ball, the England team has Yes, but not many, they will definitely be marked by opponents, and there are few forwards, especially without high centers. Beckham¡¯s side pass has no space, and England has no advantage in plugging in points without space. Therefore, Since such a pass has a slim success rate, and will make the opponent''s tactical idea succeed, why do you want to play like this?


    And England has brushed more than N pass data, the key point is whether the pass is efficient!


    Just like Barcelona in the future, if you pass 600 feet in a game and only scored 2 goals, even if the total number of passes for those 2 goals is 50, then is there 550 passes? Are all invalid passes?


    Invalid passes certainly exist, but the team pursuing pass control will inevitably reduce the proportion of invalid passes to the lowest possible range.


    Most of England''s lateral transfer passes in the first half, in addition to creating a long-range opportunity, but also consuming the opponent''s physical defense of the team''s lateral movement defense. In Aldrich''s eyes, these passes did not create goals, no Create great scoring opportunities, but all are effective!


    During the halftime break, the Greek team''s locker room, Rehagel encouraged players to fight, while thinking about how to break the game.


    1 goalkeeper, 5 defenders.


    The Greek midfielder combined with the striker, 5 people.


    England is at least 7 people in the pass and control cooperation, and does not carry on the risk of passing, the position does not go deep into the danger zone of the Greek team, just hit a long shot in front of the penalty area!


    Rely on these 5 people to grab the ball with England?


    Unrealistic.


    The Greek team couldn''t stop the England team from holding the ball for a long time and completing a long shot offensive mode.


    Unless, the guard line frees one person to attack.


    who?


    The Iron Triangle in the penalty area cannot move, only the full-back.


    Rehagel thought that he was caught in a tangle again.


    Left or right?


    To their left, they correspond to the right of England.


    Indeed, the risk of putting Beckham on the bottom can be withstood by the Greek team. If three defensive players in the penalty area can¡¯t be blocked and Irving can¡¯t pass to grab a spot, then Greece will have gone home after the group stage, because Spain China''s Huajin sidewalk breakthrough, they simply can''t stop it!


    However, Rehagger''s embarrassment lies in Gerald''s position, which has a tendency to advance forward to the right rib of the penalty area. This ambush point makes the England team''s left and right attack threats balanced in a sense.


    With this wonderful move by Gerald, the Greek team did not dare to act rashly.


    And move the right back?


    The England team corresponds to the left, there is no Indian side player in the offensive in the frontcourt, but the left-back Ashley Cole, who is in the limelight in the World Cup, is empty of the ribs in the penalty area. Xiao Xiao.


    It is no exaggeration to say that after the departure of Zambrotta, Aldridge once again built a left back that could rank among the top three in the world in two years!


    Ashley Cole, like the long-lost peerless reappearance of the rivers and lakes, that is to change the front!


    Regardless of time, Rehagel could not think of a good strategy to deal with, and the score was still a draw. He did not dare to act rashly, fearing that the adjustments made would have consequences for the whole body.


    In the locker room of the England team, Aldridge faced all the players and praised them.


    "You did perfect in the first half, yes, perfect, can''t be better. We managed to contain the threat of Greece. They didn''t even have a shot in the first half, and we may lack a bit of luck, If Paul¡¯s long-range shot is not on the crossbar, but in the goal, we will lead. In the second half, I hope to see you perform the same as in the first half, but we will change the pace of the game in the second half!"


    Aldridge left the locker room after arranging tactical adjustments in the second half.


    He and his colleagues in the coaching staff had just walked away, and Beckham spoke in the locker room.


    "Have you heard what the coach said? In the second half, we have to work hard to do better, and follow the coach¡¯s tactical arrangement to carry out firmly, we will definitely win, and we must not forget what the coach repeatedly told us over the past three days. In the game, we must not panic, don¡¯t worry about the time, even if we can¡¯t score a goal within 90 minutes, it doesn¡¯t matter, we and Greece, who will shake first, who will expose the fate, we must remember the warning of the coach ! Guys, come on in the second half!"


    Players who have been through battles all know that the volatility of the will that appears on the court does not only appear when it is suppressed by the opposing team¡¯s powerful offensive. It is not possible for oneself to open the offensive situation. Sea tactics turn opponents, completely contrary to their long-term adherence to technical and tactical play, this is the will shake, but most of the time brought by panic, the shake of the powerful side comes from anxiety.


    After the real move with the Greek team, the England players also have a deep experience.


    The restricted area of ??the Greek team is almost airtight!


    Human sea tactics may play a very offensive risk, but the effect of defensive application is relatively significant.


    The Greek defender line shrinks the restricted area and gives the side space moderately. Don''t mind the opponent''s side pass. They have a lot of defensive players in the restricted area, and it is very effective to block the opponent''s offensive point.


    Like Lampard, Gerrard, Beckham, Scholes, these four people did want to give Owensson some good pass in the first half. It is definitely not possible to give the ball to the foot. , But there is no chance at all. The Greek team is like a net blocking Owen. If Owen retreats to answer, what is the point? That kind of work, Gerrard is doing it, doing very well, turning around, is it not going to develop in the restricted area? Instead, the passing space and line become narrower.


    The members of the Three Lions looked at each other and nodded. After experiencing the World Cup baptism, they performed much better than before.


    The last time Aldridge told them not to lose their calm, it was against Brazil in the World Cup.


    At that time they were defending and now they are attacking. Similarly, they must not be restless.


    Otherwise, if you don¡¯t make England today, you will become the Brazil team in the summer of 2002 and be the final lore of the Greek team!


    In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought.


    The Greek team kicked off first.


    Aldrich turned his head to look at the horizon, a stunning picture of the beautiful scenery of dusk.


    Who will send this sundown?


    The Greek team was not in a hurry to attack after kicking off. They had no chance of counterattack, so they fell in the backcourt. The formation of the England team was not much different from the first half. They slowly pressed up, but they did not launch a rush on the front line.


    After the oppressive trend appeared, the Greek team could not ugly fall in the backcourt. This is the sadness of the weak. England is also back and forth to shape the game situation. The same is true for the Greek team, but they can only fall in the backcourt and exceed If the defender passes the ball ten times, it will inevitably be treated by the fans'' booing booby. Moreover, it is not a way to fall down. However, England''s downside in the frontcourt is not subject to external pressure. The strength difference is no way.


    When the Greek team''s attack without a bright spot was ended by Campbell, the England team quickly attacked.


    Their style of play with the first half has not changed, the change is the rhythm, the player''s position in the frontcourt, the speed of the transfer of the pass is accelerated!


    Just the acceleration of the rhythm will also reduce the success rate. The key depends on whether the defensive player can¡¯t keep up, keep up, and naturally can limit it. If it can¡¯t keep up, it means that the quality of the defense has declined, and the offensive success rate in England has declined over the same period. Under the influence of both sides at the same time, it can be seen that there will be a counteracting effect.


    Beckham made a beautiful long pass lateral transfer, on the other side Lampard stopped the ball and then passed the ball to Scholes who followed.


    For the first time in England''s game, the first attempt to pass a threatening pass into the penalty area.


    Gerrard really runs to the ribs. After Scholes''s pass, he stopped the ball directly on the heel and went back to do it. Beckham stepped on the long line of the penalty area before grabbing the Greek player behind him. Out!


    Greek goalkeeper Nicopolis made a wonderful save. Beckham''s shot was very threatening. It seemed that the ball was going to fly into the upper right corner of the goal!


    Probably the goalkeeper''s first defensive position principle blocked the near corner of the goal, Nicopolisdis calmly saved, and the ball was blocked from the bottom line with a single palm!


    There was a huge sigh in the stands. Many England fans held their heads in disbelief. Scholes and Beckham each shot a significant threat with a single shot.


    Beckham was very calm and went straight to the corner to take a corner kick.


    While the Greek team was still defending the penalty area, Beckham had already kicked the corner.


    Tactical corner kick.


    He passed the ball to Gary Neville who came up from the position. After the ball was out, he ran back. Neville passed the ball back to him. He then transferred the ball to the other side of the court quickly.


    Ashley Cole caught the pass and the pass, the Greek team suffered successive England fast breaks, coupled with the rapid shift of the offensive center of gravity, they already had signs of confusion in defense.


    Ashley Cole crossed the ball at a 45-degree angle, and the ball bypassed the defender line of the Greek team who was out of order. They missed the target in the mark. Gerrard shot out at the back point and jumped to the head. The goal!


    "The England team missed a great opportunity! Gerrard headered the goal and slid out!"


    After the offense ended, Beckham immediately retreated and shouted at Gerald, prompting Gerald to stand up quickly to defend!


    The England team quickly retreated, and did not want to take advantage of the momentum to limit the Greek team.


    In this game, England''s frontcourt players except Irving, the appearance rate of other people is very high, it can be said that they played a dominant level effect in the midfield!


    Beckham, Lampard, Scholes, Gerrard, Hargreaves, calm when attacking, defensively, and cooperate more closely than in the group stage.


    Beckham looks focused at this time, maybe many teammates coincide with his ideas.


    Aldridge has too much burden, too much!


    The coach, who is about the same age as most of them, has made contributions and sacrifices for England, his work attitude is nothing to say, and it is effective.


    The World Cup champion is the best proof.


    He wants to see Southgate¡¯s ¡°calling curtain¡± with his own eyes. He also wants to suppress his club¡¯s disciple Rooney for the team. He also needs to cover the players in front of the media. He thinks more than anyone and spends more More energy...


    Everyone understands that after the game with France, Audridge was in a mood in the locker room.


    But because of the emotional outburst, many players in England only realized how much pressure their coaches are under after calming down, and are facing many cruel realities that they did not realize.


    Beckham does not go to see Aldridge. He is running, defending, and being careful in his offense to ensure that each time he handles the ball reasonably and efficiently.


    He just wanted to tell Aldridge by action: Coach, your job is doing a great job. Next, look at us, we will make this **** job perfect!

 Chapter 1014： Hard to shake!

    No English player will question Aldridge¡¯s ambition and selfishness.


    If Aldridge is a player, then he should not be selfish.


    But he is the coach, his selfishness and ambition will not have too much conflict on the team.


    For victory, for honor, for higher and higher, let the peers reach out of reach!


    If the player is selfish, this problem will be very complicated, focusing too much on personal performance and putting personal interests above the team.


    And Aldridge¡¯s ambition and selfishness are all pinned on the team, so in a sense, he is absolutely impartial!


    Just like Keegan will insist on using the poorly-made Hiller in a condemnation from outside, Aldridge will put Rooney on the bench for the benefit of the team, giving Gerrard a chance, and McMaes have been abandoned in the past. Naman will not ignore Terry''s presence after Southgate''s serious injury because Terry is a Chelsea player.


    Team is always the first.


    Beckham, Scholes, Gerrard, Lampard and so on, they realized a lot of details that could not be usually noticed after Aldridge''s emotional outburst.


    It''s time, and it''s time for them to pick up the team and they can''t leave everything to Aldridge.


    Because, Aldridge will leave the national team within half a month, and they will continue to fight for the Three Lions!


    Any traditionally impressed football power has a bad record in the history of more than 35 years, and then won the world''s top honors, that is, the World Cup, neither outside nor inside, no one will ignore the merits and role of the head coach. .


    Aldrich¡¯s authority prevents him from complaining about players¡¯ tactical arrangements, even if the players themselves may be unsuitable and will subconsciously repel, but the powerful force of subjective consciousness will force them to exercise restraint and unswervingly execute Aldrich''s arrangement.


    They believe that Aldridge''s tactical arrangement is absolutely effective.


    In the first battle with Greece, this idea became more firm when the game came to the 65th minute.


    After playing for 20 minutes in the second half, the England team made 7 shots and hit the goal range 4 times. Although they have not scored yet, players on the field can feel that their control of the game is approaching absolute domination!


    In the second half, they accelerated their pace, still playing long shots, and the Greek team''s midfield line gradually showed that they could not keep up with them. Under such circumstances, the players themselves felt that they were getting more and more away from the goal. Recently, the Greece team''s airtight defense line is also crumbling!


    Rehagel already seemed a little restless on the sidelines.


    Every time England completed a threatening shot, his expression would change nervously. At 65 minutes, Owen suddenly accelerated to get rid of the defensive grab point and missed the goal. His expression looked slightly sad, although it was Instantly, he still showed his inner emotions.


    England team, attacked!


    However, the England team is not as strong as he expected!


    The midfielders do not cross the minefield more than 95% of the time, holding the indisputable ground of the midfielders firmly in their hands. The Greek team cannot stop the opponent from passing and making long shots, and there is no chance to counterattack when they get the ball. At that time, the England team''s defensive starting position, three-line distance, the whole team except Owen, also the same tight fit, the Greek team wanted to attack, but could not start!


    Up to now, the Greek team has a disadvantage compared to the English team''s physical fitness. While the midfield line is being played by the other side, the defender line has begun to reveal empty space due to panic. Owen has begun to have the opportunity to touch the ball and shoot in the penalty area.


    All these are ominous signs!


    The difference between strength and weakness refers to paper strength.


    The England team, on the basis of strong paper strength, uses technical tactics to make the Greek team almost desperate!


    Rehagel could not make any adjustments, especially on the offensive side. With the team of Greek players, they could not expect a player to have a decisive impact on the game.


    Super first-class players can be invisible for 89 minutes, but may become the game master in 1 minute, and occasionally first-class players.


    However, this group of second-rate players in Greece, they want a flash of light, really want to hit the lucky!


    For this reason, the Greek team can be said to be the team with the strongest execution of tactical discipline in this competition.


    It feels rigid and stable. No player is outside the tactical system. The overall defense is tenacious. The routine is simple but the counterattack is never chaotic. It is like a precision machine running.


    Ray Hagel has done his best. He put together a group of second-rate players and exerted a strong fighting power. However, facing the England team¡¯s initial warm and water-consuming battle and being cautious to the outrageous play, Ray Hagel had no choice but to give his disciples the freedom to play, and 99% ended in failure.


    Aldridge, who remained silent on the sidelines in the first half, came active in the second half.


    His eyes became sharp, and he observed the global changes coldly.


    Fighting against Greece is like a turtle shell battle. The England team has to be slow, knock down the hard protective shell of the opponent bit by bit, and if it is too urgent, it will directly try to shake the core of the opponent. , Spain, the original history of France, the Czech Republic, the same end!


    One step, two steps, three steps, the England team has done flawless work in all stages from the first minute in this game.


    The Greek team has more than 60 minutes and still has no shot!


    By the 70th minute of the game, the lateral movement space protection of the Greek team could no longer keep up with the speed of the ball and the running speed of the England players. Aldridge had to make the last change.


    He wouldn''t expect to defeat Greece by boiling frogs in warm water.


    At the last crucial stroke, he had to take it out and take risks!


    Football has always been a game of danger.


    Aldrich made a gesture on the sidelines and made two instructions. The rhythm was one of the fastest. The second, Ashley Cole, killed Laozi!


    After Ashley Cole killed him, the formation of the England team could be regarded as 3133. They strengthened the depth and extended the lateral standing distance because the opponents could not keep up with them laterally, no matter passing or running.


    The Greek team has been running behind England. After 70 minutes, the area of ??protection in front of the penalty zone has dropped significantly. England has adjusted its strength and began to penetrate into the penalty zone.


    The effect of Ashley Cole''s assists is very significant. If he plays like this at the opening, I am afraid it will not have much effect, but after the first 70 minutes of paving, it now makes the Greek team more panic on the back line!


    Lampard sent a straight pass on the left from the frontcourt. Ashley Cole went deep from the outside to the penalty area and swept the ball directly to the goal without stopping the ball before the bottom line. The speed of the ball was extremely fast, and the Greek goalkeeper did not Attacking, the defender pressed Owen and didn''t touch the ball, but at the back point, Gerald rushed up and made a shovel!


    In the end, it wasn''t the Zhengyin shooter. With such a steal, Gerrard hit the ball but didn''t hit the ball in the goal.


    Gerald lying on his back on the ground rubbed his face with his hands, quickly climbed up and ran back with a bite of teeth, and the fans in the scene gave him applause.


    "The England team''s attack began to have a clear threat. They not only used long shots to threaten the goal of Greece. They could see that they tried to complete the shot in the penalty area closer to the goal. Unfortunately, Gerrard missed again. There was a good chance, but Sir Hall did not seem to regret it. Instead, he applauded Gerrard, and then waved the players back to defend well."


    The disadvantage of the Greek team at a glance.


    Due to the decline in physical confrontation, the distribution of their positions began to appear chaotic, requiring players to subconsciously fill in positions. In this way, the number of defenses is still sufficient, but when playing counterattacks, there is no clue. The original familiar shooting point The players who are in response are not in position, and the offensive ability is further impaired.


    In contrast, the England team is more courageous in the Vietnam War. In addition to the restricted area, the passing of other areas is smooth and free. From a long distance, it can play a long shot. Occasionally, the threat of the ball is not necessarily low, and the success rate is desperately low.


    Rehagel recognized the reality, and he knew it was a fantasy to defeat England in sports.


    Today''s England is not only more fully prepared, but also leaves no room for the Greece team in terms of technology and tactics.


    Rehagel is preparing to make a substitution, intending to fill the defense with freshman forces, and then, as far as possible, drag the game to the penalty shootout!


    Just when the Greek team has submitted a substitution list, Lampard was violated by the Greek players on the left before the penalty area, and the referee gave a free kick.


    The Greek team signaled to the referee that they were going to change, but Lampard immediately got up and immediately kicked a free kick. Instead of kicking the ball to the goal, he crossed to the other side.


    Opening a free kick quickly has a sudden nature, which prevents the defender from setting a static line of defense.


    In addition, the Greek team also depends on the referee, who hopes to breathe through the substitutions to delay the time.


    However, the referee did not pay attention, because the Greek players on the sidelines have not yet reached the center line.


    Lampard''s goal was passed to Beckham. Beckham stopped the ball, crossed the ball at a 45-degree angle, and hit the ball to the back point on the other side of the penalty area.


    Seeing Beckham''s pass, Aldridge applauded: Good job!


    This is the horizontal triangle offensive routine.


    Lampard is on the left and passes to Beckham on the right. Beckham then passes in front of the left and back point in the penalty area. In this process, the Greek team''s defense line moves from left to right to defend Beckham''s foot pass. , You have to move from right to left again, and when it is out of sync, it is easy to appear.


    The B¨¦zier arc forms an arc with a large inside rotation.


    At first glance, the ball flew towards the goal, but during the flight, it definitely deviated from the goal, but it will fall behind the penalty area, which will not only affect the goalkeeper''s judgment, but also cause the defensive player to make a mistake.


    At a later point in the penalty area, a figure was killed.


    Ashley Cole!


    He grabbed the landing point, but he was not a shooter. The shooting angle between the landing point and the goal was too small, close to zero angle, Ashley Cole would not think he had Van Basten''s footwork , So he pushed the ball horizontally with his arch to ensure the accuracy of the pass.


    Right and left, right and left. Now, the ball is back from the left to the middle, and it is in front of the door.


    The Greek team was in a restricted area, and everyone was nervous.


    Owen, who was on the middle of the road, fell to the ground during the grab. He watched the ball roll in front of him. Owen''s expression changed from solemn to angry in an instant. He felt that he was knocked down!


    On the straight line between the ball and the goal, there is no goalkeeper and the goalkeeper has not moved into place. If Irving can touch the ball, he will definitely score!

 Chapter 1015： Lost

    Irving did not fall to the ground to pretend to be sympathetic!


    He was just knocked down, because he was about to rush forward to grab a spot, so he ¡°flyed¡± out and tried to shoot with his toes, but when Scavenger Dras turned and ran alongside him, he blocked his body with his arm, Owen As a result, the body fell out of balance.


    His eyes stared at the ball and looked in the direction the ball rolled.


    The Greek defenders were overwhelmed, Gerrard outflanked the back point on the other side!


    Two Greek players put together the shovel, one is to block the angle of the near corner of the goal, the other is to block Gerrard''s shot!


    Dallas stood directly in front of the goal line, intending to fill the shooting space with the flesh.


    Gerrard''s shooting angle is also very small, but he must shoot!


    He shot the ball towards the goal with all his strength, only to hear a bang, the ball hit the goal post and bounced out!


    Gerald hated and annoyed himself at this moment!


    His expression is distorted, not only disappointed and lost, but also unwilling and self-blaming.


    At the critical moment, why am I not upset?


    Is it because there is no goal space?


    Or did the Greek player''s shovel affect his shooting?


    Gerald didn''t know. He raised his hand subconsciously to scratch his scalp. He didn''t know how to face his teammates and coaches, and the fans of England.


    Once, twice, three times!


    He missed three opportunities!


    There weren''t many opportunities, but he squandered again and again.


    Irving saw the ball bounce back and immediately got up from the ground to growl and complain to the referee. He opened his hands to the referee and signaled that the foul was blocked by the opponent Dras!


    The opponent obviously didn''t go for the ball, but knocked himself down!


    As Owen raised his hands, he suddenly stunned and immediately fell to the ground!


    He saw a ball flying from the front, and if he did not flash off, he would be hit in the face!


    After lying down, Irving turned his head and saw Dras standing on the goal line and goalkeeper Nicopolidis fell together within the goal line, and beside them, there was a ball spinning there.


    Goal!


    Alvara Stadium burst into cheers like a tsunami!


    Owen leapt from the ground, his hands raised again, but he was laughing and roaring with a surprise.


    Gerrard swept away the look of self-blame and annoyance, and rushed out of the penalty area of ??the Greek team, chasing the figure that set the foot for England!


    Who?


    Ginger head, Scholes!


    The rebounded ball was not touched by anyone in the penalty area. Scholes rushed for a violent volley before grabbing the opponent''s midfielder. This time, the Greek team failed to resist the indiscriminate bombing of the English team!


    The stadium was boiling, and the whole England team was excited.


    Scholes ran to the side of the court excitedly, Aldridge hugged him tightly, Beckham, Lampard, Gerrard, Irving, Hargreaves, Gary Neville... and the English team bench The players on the bench, the coaches, form a circle and hug together, encouraging each other while roaring with passion.


    "England finally scored! Irving fell in the penalty area and the referee was indifferent. Gerrard shot a shot and then regrettably hit the post and popped it. It was thought that it would be an opportunity for England to squander offensively, but Scholes He came out and sent the ball into the goal with a long shot from outside the penalty area. This powerful shot seemed to destroy the solid defense of Greece and destroyed the 80-minute effort of the Greek team¡¯s ambitions, although they There was not a single shot, but at least they were not scored by their opponents. Now, everything is in vain, and there is not much time left for Rehagel¡¯s team!"


    Rehagel protested fiercely against the fourth official, accusing the other party of a problem in his work!


    If we can remind the referee to make a substitution on the sidelines earlier, England will not have a free kick this time, and there will be no subsequent attack!


    After the English team was celebrating in a group, Aldridge was in the center, his expression returned to serious, and said in a deep voice: "Don¡¯t give them any chance! We don¡¯t want to retreat because of the lead, defense like before, Michael, I will change you In the end, we need to further control the midfield in our hands, the Greek team will not have a chance anymore, no! Ashley, retreat, Frank, when there is a chance ahead, rush boldly, Steven, you ''S performance is very good, in the following time, pay more attention to respond to the attack of teammates, understand?"


    The generals of the Three Lions replied in unison: "Understand!"


    At the moment, although everyone is bloody, they are more calm and calm. Even Gerald, who has missed the opportunity continuously, has swept away the negative emotions because of Audridge''s simple sentence of praise, and he is more determined than before.


    Irving will be replaced, but not now, need to replace people to delay time.


    When the players listened to the cheers of the English fans on the scene and walked back to the field, Aldridge called Phil Neville to the front. At the beginning of 60 minutes, there were several players in the England team to warm up. Now the goal appears, change Human strategy also surfaced, Rooney continued to sit on the bench, he needs to strengthen the defense, did not choose Bart, but Phil Neville.


    Because Phil Neville is an all-around in the backcourt, he is worried that if he is given another back midfielder to Hargreaves, there will be conflicts with his partner. He chooses to use the all-around Phil Neville in the backcourt to give him instructions. Is a defensive free man. When the Greek team attacked, Phil Neville went to disrupt the opponent''s offensive center of gravity.


    The on-the-spot adjustments of Rehagel are completely disrupted!


    The Greek team intends to make adjustments to strengthen the defense, but now, they need to score!


    Need goals, goals, **** goals!


    But they haven''t even shot a goal after 80 minutes. If you continue to strengthen the defense, you can imagine that waiting for them will not be a miracle!


    Rehagel is going to re-adjust the substitution list, so this will take some time. He has been working on such a task every minute and every minute, he has calmed down, calmed down in the shortest time, sorted out his thoughts, and gave up on it!


    After the Greeks re-kicked off, they played a wave of unsuccessful offenses, just like their previous positional offensives, encountering a strong sniper from England in the midfield.


    The England team did not rush to attack after changing from the defense to the attack. They restored the rhythm of stable control of the field, allowing the ball to move back and forth, calmly and patiently looking for the loopholes in the opponent''s defense.


    The Greece team has just scored a goal, although the situation requires them to score, but if a goal is lost, then the game will be completely killed by England!


    Therefore, before Ray Hagel made the substitution adjustment, they did not rush into the anti-robbing, even more conservative than before, just to not miss the second ball.


    Rehagel thought about the countermeasures.


    At this time, he was desperate and unwilling to see him, he could not think of many ways.


    And perhaps the most effective is the long pass.


    Because you are going to assign a tedious or delicate offensive tactic to the Greek team, they do not have the technical ability to perform perfectly.


    The most violent, the simplest, is the human sea tactics.


    Accumulate offensive players into the opponent''s dangerous area, and then, the ground pass cut is too difficult, the opponent can''t fly without wings, the pass line is of course in the air, this is also the fastest way!


    The Greek team is fighting England, and at the same time it is fighting time!


    England''s stable ball control allowed another three minutes to pass, and the regular time for the game has reached 85 minutes.


    The Greek team saw the ball right at the feet of England for a long time, and the other party spent time vainly to control the ball. Probably holding the idea of ??"everyone is dead", they simply fight with the other party!


    The midfielder and the striker began to frantically siege, and there was a slight disconnect from the back line.


    Seizing the change of the opponent, the England team quickly launched a fast break. Neville crossed Hargreaves. The latter passed directly to Lampard on the left front. Lampard then transferred the ball to Beckham horizontally.


    In this process, the Greek team''s front and back players ran back and forth, revealing a large gap in the middle and back court.


    Beckham controlled the ball, calmly raked the ball away from the grappling Greek team player, then stopped dribbling forward, and passed the ball to Gerrard in the front right corner of the penalty area.


    Gerrard stopped the ball and attracted the opponent''s full-back and a central defender to defend. He did not turn around, used his body to control the ball, and then took a step back to flash out the passing space.


    When the midfield line had insufficient protection for the defender line, there was room for the England team to cut forward in the front of the penalty area.


    Gerrard made a timely cross, Lampard bravely inserted forward, slanting the ball after the ball, directly into the penalty area, followed by a good quality shot!


    Goalkeeper Nicopolidis slammed the ball to the bottom line!


    "The Greek team escaped again! The England team either did not shoot today. Once the shot is bound to be threatening, but lacking some luck, the goal range has reached 12 shots, but there is only one goal, which is also with them. Most shots come from long shots."


    Corner kicks, Greece and England finally had a chance to make substitutions.


    Irving was replaced and Phil Neville came on.


    The Greek team replaced two forwards, one replaced a forward who was exhausted and defensive throughout the game, and the other replaced the next defender.


    Rehagel is about to fight!


    However, the ball is still at the feet of England. They went to kick the corner. Beckham came to the corner flag area. His handsome face was full of dignity. He gestured to his teammates in the penalty area with his hands pressed down, and then waited for the Greek team. The corner kick was taken only after all the staff returned to defense.


    There was no pleasing arc, but it was another tactical corner kick. Beckham passed the ball back to Neville.


    The Greek team had vitality and immediately participated in the frontcourt anti-robbing, but the England team was already prepared. They were still holding the ball steadily.


    Rehagel was expressionless on the sidelines.


    The Greek team wants to attack and want to make a final stroke, but the England team does not give them a chance at all!


    When the stoppage time arrived, the Greek team finally got an offensive opportunity. When they advanced on the left side just after halftime, their player was forced out of the sideline by Beckham. The referee gave the Greek team a position. The ball, then, the Greek team almost overwhelmed.


    The high-altitude ball dangled into the penalty area of ??the England team. Terry jumped high and fought off the ball. The ball that fell on the periphery was controlled by Scholes. Ginger head glanced in front of him, uh, nobody.


    Gerrard also went back to participate in the defense. Scholes couldn''t find the spot, and there were many people in the backcourt. He was afraid of making mistakes. He simply took the ball diagonally and took the ball to the sideline of the front court. The team''s players frantically rushed from behind him and dragged him to the ground. The referee''s whistle sounded and the Greek team was fouled.


    Rehagel closed his eyes and sighed.


    The defeat is set!

 Chapter 1016： Tie up history

    When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the match, Alvara Stadium became a sea of ??celebration for the Three Lions and their fans!


    "Congratulations to England for becoming the second team to advance to this European Cup! At the end of the game, 1:0, with Scholes'' goal, England did not let the dark horse Greece team go further, it can even be said This is an overwhelming victory, because whether in terms of scenes or technical statistics, the England team has an overwhelming advantage, although the goal is not much, the score is only 1:0, but the England team actually let the Greek team There was no shot in 90 minutes of the game! There was no shot! And they made a total of 23 shots! Some people praised Rehagel for writing a new football philosophy before the game, that is, using defense to shape the game situation, defense listening It¡¯s simple, but there are not many teams that can do well, especially the weak teams. In any case, the Greek team should be proud. They have impressed people in this European Cup and have made consecutive upsets in Portugal and Spain. The result appears, if it is not in the knockout, but in the group stage, we have reason to believe that perhaps the Greek team will create great difficulties for the England team, but in the knockout, on the one hand, the English team¡¯s own vigilance, the other On the other hand, the England team has an experienced top coach. Sir Hall¡¯s targeted research and deployment of Greece is reflected in the game. Today¡¯s England is not the familiar England, but they have won very impressive. Convinced, so that fans in England can continue to have the expectation of winning the Three Lions team! England''s opponents in the semi-finals will be generated between the Czech Republic and Denmark, they will rest two days longer than their opponents in the semifinals! Their advantage that cannot be ignored in the semi-finals. Well, spectators friends, we can now wait for tomorrow¡¯s game. The Netherlands and Sweden will fight for the third semi-final ticket. See you at the same time tomorrow."


    After the game, Aldridge walked to Rehagel for the first time, and the two coaches shook hands solemnly.


    This may not be the moment when history freezes.


    But only the two coaches understand the depth of the game.


    After shaking hands, Aldridge turned and stepped into the stadium with a smile on his face. He first gave Beckham a high-five hug. When he hugged Beckham, Aldridge said in his ear: "David, good job , Continue to work hard, you will become the great captain of England."


    Xiaobei smiled and didn''t answer. There was a word in his heart that wasn''t spoken.


    After the European Cup, stay here!


    Beckham is also the boss, he knows that his career in the national team has entered the final stage, if Aldridge can still stay after the European Cup, he also believes that he will have a very promising future in the national team.


    However, he couldn''t say it.


    Can''t ask for Audric anymore, can''t open his mouth to ask for something from this young commander.


    His dedication is obvious to all. It is enough. His contribution is profound enough for the entire football world.


    Gerald Gerald has a simple smile and a simple happiness.


    Aldrich laughed with Gerard¡¯s neck in his arms, and Gerard bent his head slightly and shrugged his head, saying: "Coach, today I..."


    "Needless to say, Steven, enjoy the victory before going to bed today, wake up tomorrow and forget about the game, and then our eyes turn to the semi-finals. Today, you are great and our hero."


    Gerald straightened up and walked with Aldridge to the other three lion players.


    They thanked the fans on the sidelines together and cheered passionately with the fans at the same rhythm.


    Today''s victory is of great significance, referring to the record.


    The England World Cup has had the local championships in the past, and this achievement, in the summer of 2002, was led by Aldridge to lead the Three Lions to win overseas and surpass.


    As for the European Cup, the England team''s performance is terrible.


    The best result is just the semi-finals.


    When generally listing the results of team competitions, traditional football powers will not be ranked outside the non-final runner-up.


    Fortunately, the World Cup has a third place battle, but the European Cup does not.


    Therefore, the semi-finals are the semi-finals, the third or the fourth. They are only arranged through statistics. That is to say, the two teams that were eliminated in the semi-finals did not directly confront each other. Ranking by data is not persuasive.


    And Aldridge led his team to defeat Greece today, and in the European Cup record, it also tied the best record in the history of the English national team in the European Cup!


    Final Four!


    Win another game and England will set an unprecedented European Cup achievement!


    In an interview after the game, Aldridge''s expression relaxed.


    "England performed very well today and could not find the flaws of this team. The players actively and seriously cooperated with the training. The efforts to prepare for this game have paid off. We did not give the Greek team any chance on the court. Did this create the European Cup? The record? Not important, we don¡¯t care, because we care more about victory. Now that we have won, we will prepare for the semifinals next. With the current state and attitude of England, I don¡¯t think the England team will be afraid of any opponents. We It also has the strength and confidence to win honors."


    When the reporter heard Aldridge¡¯s words, he asked: ¡°You have always been very cautious. Why do you announce that the team is going to win the championship after entering the semi-finals today?¡±


    Aldridge chuckled and said: "First of all, England has always been in the media to win the championship. Of course, we also have ambitions to win the championship, otherwise? What are we doing here? At the quarterfinals, four teams Who will win the championship? The chances of the four teams themselves are not small. At this time, I think that the ambition of the champions can stimulate the motivation of the players!"


    "Denmark and the Czech Republic, if England meets Denmark, the probability of winning will be higher?"


    "I don¡¯t think so. The Danes have created a miracle. If you reach the top 8 or the top 4 and look at the opponents staying here in the usual way, then you will be surprised and scared. Fail! We don¡¯t care who our opponent is."


    "Did England take advantage of the schedule?"


    "I can''t say no, in fact, we will rest tomorrow, we can rest the day after tomorrow, but the Czech team will have a brutal life-and-death battle with the Denmark team, and then there will be another three days of truce. Then, when the semifinals arrive, the England team does Advantage, but this is not enough to let us relax our vigilance."


    After the interview, Aldridge led the team back to the hotel to recover after the team game.


    The atmosphere in the team was slightly more tense and dignified than after the battle with France. The atmosphere in the team after defeating Greece was cushioned and relaxed, and one by one, came to the best state.


    Even Rooney, who previously asked Adrich for the main position in private, will not make any sound now, and he will wholeheartedly work as a part of the team for the subsequent battle.


    After advancing to the semifinals, the England team tied the best record in history. At this time, everyone understands that as long as they take a step forward, they will create a new history of the European Cup in England, and the team''s centripetal force is fully guaranteed.


    Whether their opponent is Czech or Denmark.


    The England team does have a physical advantage.


    Prior to this, the European Cup has been a three-day one match, and the group stage is an eight-day three match. This density is very serious on the player''s physical load!


    England''s strategic advantage was well utilized in this campaign.


    The group stage came out in advance, the main force has a week of physical pressure buffer, now after playing Greece, there is another 5 days to rest, on the contrary, Czech or Denmark, only 3 days to recover and prepare for battle.


    But the Czech Republic or Denmark also have certain advantages, presumably the organizers also take this factor into account.


    Therefore, the venues of the Czech Republic and Denmark, at Porto Dragon Stadium, the winners of these two teams will also play in the semi-final match at this stadium, and the England team will go to Porto from Lisbon the next day. However, Portugal itself is not big, such travel costs can be ignored, at most only familiar with the venue and environment, not as familiar as opponents.


    England advanced to the quarterfinals of the European Cup.


    Britain celebrated, Fleet Street sang praises for the Three Lions, and the slogan for winning the championship was already screamed. At this time, it was more confident.


    As for the England team suppressing the Greek team in the whole game so that the opponent did not shoot once, it was regarded as a myth.


    After all, the Greek team is a dark horse that has made upsets in both Portugal and Spain. Not only can it suppress the Greek team, making it like a beast, but it has no resistance to struggle. It really shocks Fleet Street.


    The next day, the England team conducted restorative training in the morning and took a holiday in the afternoon. In the evening, the team went to Porto.


    On this day, the third quarter-final of the European Cup kicked off.


    The Netherlands and Sweden exchanged free throws in 120 minutes, and then took a penalty shootout.


    The Netherlands defeated the Swedish team by 5:4 and luckily reached the semifinals.


    This victory was particularly difficult for the Dutch team.


    This is the first time in 12 years that they have not fallen to the penalty shootout!


    In the 1992 European Cup, the penalty shootout was lost to Denmark.


    The 1994 World Cup was directly eliminated by Brazil in the quarterfinals.


    In the European Cup in 1996, the penalty shootout was lost to France.


    In the 1998 World Cup, the penalty shootout was lost to Brazil.


    In the European Cup in 2000, the penalty shootout was lost to Italy.


    In 2002... they didn''t go to the World Cup.


    In the past six competitions, the Dutch team missed one session, of which four of the five sessions were lost to the penalty shootout!


    Therefore, the Dutch team has a 12-year penalty shootout spell. Today, the spell is broken. The Dutch team advances to the quarterfinals of the European Cup and will compete with Portugal''s Alvaradena for final tickets.


    Another day later, the Czech Republic and Denmark competed for the final semi-finals at Porto Dragon Stadium.


    In the first half, the two teams evenly divided, but in the second half, the situation changed suddenly.


    The Czech team scored three goals in 20 minutes after the start of the second half, not only kicked the Danish team off the cliff, but also buried the body of the Danish team.


    England''s opponents in the semifinals came out: Czech team!


    The Czech team is not a dark horse, absolutely not, not to mention that the Czech team¡¯s national team has played extremely eye-catching in the past. Just eight years ago, the Czech team was the runner-up of the European Cup. Coincidentally, where they won the runner-up, It was in England, and the runner-up was an honor that the England team never had.

 Chapter 1017： Start of attack

    The endless European Cup finally had a two-day offseason after the dust of the quarter-final was settled. 16 teams rushed to Portugal, and 12 teams have returned to their homes. The remaining 4 teams will fight for the final. Admission ticket.


    Portugal and the Netherlands took the lead in the semifinals.


    Host Portugal faces a spell that has existed in the four European Cups, that is, the host has not won in these four European Cups, including England in 1996.


    The Dutch team faced an embarrassing challenge to beat Portugal for 12 years. After six confrontations, three draws and three losses, Portugal took the lead.


    In the game, Ronaldo took the lead to break the goal, continuing his good performance in this competition, then Portugal scored two more goals in the second half, but one of them was an own goal.


    Eventually rewrite the history with a score of 2:1 and advance to the final!


    On the same day, Aldridge attended the pre-match press conference and praised the performance of the Czech team in this competition.


    "The Czech team is a typical offensive style team. They bring passion to fans all over the world. Without a doubt, they carried the flag of offensive football. Br¨¹ckner turned the Czech team into an offensive. Rich strong teams, if a team is always playing in the same way in a rhythm, then such a team is easily restricted by opponents, but the Czech team has a lot of offensive points, advancement methods, They are difficult to prevent, and Baros, who has a phenomenal performance in this competition, the England team will make changes. If you want to defeat the Czech Republic by eliminating the Greek team, it is impossible."


    Playing Greece is considered to be the best performance of the four games in England this season. Regardless of player performance or technical tactics, this has nothing to do with how many goals are scored. The key lies in the situation and the effectiveness of mutual restraint.


    If you can keep your opponent unable to even shoot, then this is absolutely perfect defense, and if on this basis, you can create more than 20 shot opportunities, then your offense and defense combined, almost Impeccable.


    However, the game against Greece cannot be used as a reference standard for the England team¡¯s exceptionally high level of technical and tactical strength.


    Because they are bullying.


    The Czech team is very different from the Greek team, only looking at the player''s strength comparison, the Czech team''s offensive and defensive midfielders are better.


    Therefore, if the same technique and tactics are used to fight two opponents whose strength and style are very different, the effect will definitely be huge.


    Aldrich does not think that in front of the Czech Republic, the England team can have the capital to control the frontcourt. Compared to the last rock-solid battle against Greece, playing tomorrow in the Czech Republic, England needs passion!


    In the face of a typical offensive football team, if the English team can''t play the absolute defense with extreme stability like Greece, then they must fight with the opponent!


    After considering the physical fitness of the players and the overall strength of the opponent, Aldridge believes that the England team must play offense.


    The reason is very simple. Although the Czech team has a fierce offensive, their defense is not particularly strong. If they do not rely on human tactics to fill the space in the penalty area, with the ability of Irving''s top shooter, interspersed running to find opportunities should be useful.


    Czech coach Bruckner said before the game that the Czech team''s goal in this competition is to make up for the regret of the 96th runner-up. Even though England is very strong, the probability of the two teams reaching the final is 55. The Czech team will be in Use the fighting spirit to defeat the England team in the game!


    The next day, Dragon Stadium.


    Fans from England and the Czechs came to the court early and pulled up banners and waved flags in the stands. The loud singing of England fans echoed in the stadium.


    Both England and Czech players lined up to enter the field, Aldridge has already had a greeting with Br¨¹ckner.


    Today Aldridge¡¯s state is very different from before, with less majesty and dignity, a sharp and energetic look, and an obvious willingness to try.


    He has benefited a lot from the masters of international competitions, leading teams to the European Cup.


    Because each opponent has good strength, while studying opponents, he can also enrich his own experience, broaden his horizons, and expand his thinking.


    The two most representative teams in this competition.


    Greece to shape the game with defense.


    To attack the Czech Republic and subvert the game.


    The England team has come across one after another, which is a very valuable experience in itself, which can allow Aldridge to exercise himself in the field of competition.


    He likes such challenges.


    It''s like the idea of ??the last game is to knock on the turtle shell. What about this game? Certainly not the same as playing Greece, especially the style change of the opponent is extreme to extreme. The fun of the game makes him deeply fascinated.


    At the forefront of the two teams is their respective captains.


    Premier League fans are no stranger.


    Czech team captain Nedved, the steel **** of war.


    England captain Beckham.


    The 22 starters held their heads up and bravely.


    Nedved did not talk to Ashley Cole, Lampard and other people in the pre-match player channel, and Beckham, Scholes and others did not go to greet Poboski.


    In the semi-finals, stepping on the opponent''s body is the final!


    Towards the highest honor of the UEFA national team''s intercontinental competition, this moment, in the eyes of many players, is the time of life and death!


    Victory is survival, and failure is death!


    "The last two games of the European Cup in 2004 are left. Today is the penultimate game. The England team will compete with the Czech Republic for the final ticket. The host Portugal is already waiting for their victory at the Bright Stadium in Lisbon. If only on paper strength, the England team is better than the Czech team. However, the Czech team should not be underestimated. The Czech team has already reached the final in the European Championship in the European Cup held in England 8 years ago. , 8 years ago, Nedved, Poboski was magnificent, 8 years later, they are the mainstay of the Czech team, and the young rookie Rosicky, who has performed exceptionally well in the Bundesliga, is now ranked first in the European Cup shooter list. Baros, high center Jan Kohler and others, such a Czech team, reversing the Netherlands, relying on the main force of the half team to cut down the German team, how can they belittle them? Many fans think that the Czech team is in The offensive enthusiasm displayed is better than the England team, and even better than all the teams. If they advance to the final, no one will look at them with dark horses.


    However, football does not rely solely on the offensive offensive to determine the outcome. The Shinco World Cup champion England hopes to replicate the glory of the French team. Two games away, they have a chance to achieve a dynasty achievement! Coach Sir Hall and his famous football players will never bow their heads at this time and give victory to the Czech team. We can expect this game to become another classic battle in the European Cup.


    Here are the starting lineups of both parties.


    England 442.


    Goalkeeper: Robinson.


    Defenders: Gary Neville, Campbell, Terry, Ashley Cole.


    Midfielders: Beckham, Hargreaves, Scholes, Lampard.


    Forwards: Irving, Gerrard.


    Czech team 442.


    Goalkeeper: Cech.


    Defenders: Grigra, Uyfalusi, Bolf, Jankulovsky.


    Midfielders: Poboski, Garasek, Rosicky, Nedved.


    Forwards: Jan Kohler, Baros.


    Players of both sides are taking a group photo before the game, the game will start immediately! "


    Aldrich stared at both players on the sidelines. For the Czech team''s lineup, in fact, the top star is only Nedved, but there are many first-class players, especially the hot players, which may not be able to stay in the first-class for a long time. Upstream, but can hit the top level in one stage, which is a headache. Simply put, it is a short-lived one, but you will be hit by it. That''s right, Aldridge''s thinking is Baros.


    Br¨¹ckner¡¯s platoon formation is not very innovative, even if he sent three attacking midfielders behind the striker, but AC Milan¡¯s number 10 player is in front of the midfielder. How creative is Na, it''s fake.


    Nedved, Rosicky, Poboski.


    Before, Nedved would be placed in the front waist position, and then Rosicky was put on the front waist. Nedved played a role similar to the left side of the midfield but not pulled.


    The most important feature of these three Czech attacking midfielders is their high enthusiasm. They will not lack a sense of presence when defending like a classic front midfielder. They do not hesitate to run defense, which is the reason why the Czech team has a strong midfielder. The entire offensive and defensive system was launched.


    In addition to the three attacking midfielders who can attack and defend well, delivering the shells to the front, the two full-backs Jankulovsky and Grigra are assisting on the sidelines.


    If the Czech team''s offensive arrangement system is three-dimensional, it can be seen as a big arrow, striker, midfielder, defender, with a sense of hierarchy from the front to the back, and at the same time make full use of the width of the field. In the event, each area of ??the court There will be a point of contact, and here I have to mention their midfielder Galasek. If he is a typical defensive midfielder who is only responsible for interception and defense, then the Czech offense will be greatly reduced.


    Galasek is not a top defensive midfielder, because he was a midfielder before, and he started to transform to play a midfielder four years ago, so his defense may not be top, but he has a prominent role in offensive support. In order to combine De Rossi¡¯s work with Alonso¡¯s work and make a discount, it is the role played by Galasek in the Czech team. The defense must be intercepted, and the offensive and defensive transition must be sorted out in the midfield and backcourt.


    A whistle sounded, and the semi-finals between the Czech team and England for the European Cup final tickets began.


    The Czech team took the lead in kick-off.


    As soon as he came up, the Czech team took the initiative to speed up the pace, trying to play a blitz.


    The England team is tightly integrated on the third line, and it has no over-fitting appearance.


    The prelude to this pinnacle showdown opened.


    Br¨¹ckner and Aldridge paid close attention to the game on the sidelines.


    Both of them understand that the final victory of this game may depend on the specific position on the field and the specific players'' performance in the local area!


    That is to say, if Hargreaves can''t stop Rosicky, a young man in Bundesliga football who already has the praise of the first man in the midfielder outside Barack, then the England team will be very passive in the backline , Followed by the defense will be more passive in the penalty area, because Poboski or Nedved, the ability to insert assists and scoring is good, and the competition for other positions is the same. Beckham and Neville can''t stop Nedved and Yankulovsky, and the England team''s right defense will be exploded!


    Vice versa, if the England team has gained an advantage locally to open up the situation and gain an advantage, they also have this ability.


    This game can be seen as a global confrontation, but it will be local details that affect the overall situation!


    Jankulovsky directly over the half to assist, Beckham, Neville''s defense is tight, Nedved and Yankulovsky made a cooperation and turned to the middle, Scholes Withdrawing in advance, blocking Nedved forward in the lower back, the Czech team immediately made an offensive transfer, Rosicky retreated, Hargreaves took a step forward, and Rosicky received the pass from Nedved After not stopping the ball, he passed the ball diagonally to the other side of Poboski.


    I thought that the Czech team would directly penetrate the England team''s penetrating pass to the middle of the penalty area, but I did not expect Poboski to pass the ball back to the side.


    Assisted by Grigra, Ashley Cole just recovered the penalty area, and then pulled out again. Grigra straighted behind Ashley Cole and left, and Poboski completed it before inserting it in the inside. Shot from the foot, but unfortunately the ball deviated from the goal!


    "The Czech team formed a shot on the first attack. From their passing cooperation, it can be seen that they have a very tacit understanding. After the attack is over half, there are many attacking points. They are not afraid of playing against the England team!"


    The England team is also racing against the clock. Robinson is not a perfect goalkeeper, but he is an obedient goalkeeper under Aldridge. Whether he can do his best is a matter of ability. Whether he strives to do his best is an attitude.


    The Czech team returned without success, and there were more offensive players rushing up. Under such circumstances, the English team can''t make ink.


    Robinson immediately kicked the ball, short pass to Ashley Cole, Czech defender turned back to defend, the midfield defense is also tightly arranged, Baros and Jan Kohler from the front line launched defensive pressure from the front The teammates went back to fight for time.


    The England team naturally understood the opponent¡¯s purpose. Ashley Cole made a mid-range pass to send the ball forward. Lampard ran forward to throw away the Poboski who had just completed the shot and passed the half. In front of Garasek, Lampard made a two-on-one match with the retreating Gerrard and then kicked the ball to pass the ball to Owen Faulsi.


    Irving succeeded in anti-offside, but the angle of shot was narrowed after running diagonally. He barely took a shot. The Czech goalkeeper Cech was unsteady and steady, and the ball was calmly received in his arms.


    "England quickly responded to the Czech team! Irving''s shot hit the goal range, the Czech team goalkeeper Cech embraced the ball, the Czech team, now they are attacking again, Cech throw the ball by hand It was given to Jankulovsky."


    This may be a game that won''t stop, a real battle of offense!


    The two teams compete against each other, not wanting to miss that fleeting opportunity, so as to drag the other party down and destroy it!


    And such a game will make the effective game time longer.

 Chapter 1018： Runaway

    Football games and basketball, football game time calculation is different, basketball and football only calculate the effective time of the game.


    A 90-minute football game usually has an effective time of about 60 minutes. The longer the effective time, the higher the quality of the game.


    So where did the invalid time go?


    The player is injured, time is passing, but the game is not going on, the player kicks the ball, and grinding the chirp is also invalid time.


    The ball goes out of the sideline, one side kicks the ball, it takes 3-5 seconds to finish, and 10-20 seconds to slow down. If the average is 10 seconds, the ball goes out of the line 30 times in a game, which becomes invalid in 300 seconds. , That is, 5 minutes. Counting other similar ones, the invalid time accumulates a lot.


    Therefore, Americans are not fanatical about football, and this factor also exists. Even if an NBA actually runs from the start to the end, pauses all the time, fouls, looks back at the video, rests, etc. The total time consumption often exceeds 3 hours, but Americans still like it. On the one hand, because basketball has an offensive time limit, it must be attacked. On the other hand, basketball game time is valid, and football is the same.


    Therefore, in football games, UEFA and FIFA will promote the issue of improving the effective time of the game, but it depends on the efforts of both parties.


    Today, the Czech team and the England team should be regarded as models.


    They will not delay the time, for fear of a fleeting offensive opportunity slipping away from their eyes.


    The two teams play offensive football, and it is not only pure offense that does not attack and does not defend.


    This made the game very good-looking. Both teams played fast, and because of the offensive investment, the speed of back defense couldn''t keep up with the speed of the opponent''s attack, which became a front and back field offensive and defensive tug of war.


    Aldridge and Br¨¹ckner both agreed at the moment that they wanted to walk in front of each other and shake hands again.


    The two thoughts coincided.


    Aldrich is the right soldier. The England team has more rest time than the Czech team. The physical fitness should be better. Therefore, the fast team and the fast attack and defense conversion rate are used to drag down the Czech team and make the Czech team disconnect from the third line and collapse!


    He thought that Br¨¹ckner would make the Czech team at least stable and patiently look for opportunities.


    Unexpectedly, Br¨¹ckner actually had the same idea as him!


    At the moment, Br¨¹ckner was caught off guard.


    The posture of the England team after the opening made him deeply hate Fleet Street.


    The last time England defeated Greece perfectly, what was blown by Fleet Street?


    "A new philosophy was born in the hands of Sir Hall!"


    "Greece has zero shots in the game, the England team has made history, and in this way, no team in the world can resist it!"


    "Sir Hall used psychological warfare in techniques and tactics. The Three Lions team is just around the corner for the European Cup. We will witness a historic moment!"


    "This will be a new direction for the development of modern football!"


    His mother¡¯s Fleet Street held England very dazzling, and Br¨¹ckner repeatedly watched the game between England and Greece four times!


    He is thinking about how to break the England team''s offensive mode of ball control and sudden attack.


    He has deepened his wrinkles. Considering the fact that the Czech team has less rest than the opponent, he is afraid that the England team will die again and the Czech team will be exhausted!


    So today will take the initiative to speed up the pace, so that the England team panic, so that they can not calmly control the ball.


    They want to speed up their offense, move backwards and delay each other while defending, then rest and take a breather before proceeding to the next round.


    However, keeping up with England is not a game at all!


    The rhythm of the game was unimaginably fast, and then it collapsed!


    Neither team can control such a fast-paced game, so that everyone can''t play their own ideally designed tactics!


    That''s when the back row attack is plugged in.


    The Czech team''s enthusiasm for backcourt defense is very high, as is England.


    Everyone is pursuing a fast attack. After defending, they fight forward, and they cannot fight back, but the speed of the retracement is always unable to keep up with the speed of the other party¡¯s attack. The two teams cooperate with each other and have a lot of attack points. Attacked all the way, the attack was not only fast, but also dazzled.


    But the problem is that the fastest advance to the front line, the midfielders can''t keep up!


    It¡¯s like Beckham. Nedvide attacked and he retreated. When Irving got the ball when he attacked, he ran forward from the backcourt and just passed the halftime. The back row is not in contact, but if you do more If you adjust, the offensive situation with few defenders ahead will disappear.


    Owen, Gerrard, Jan Kohler, Baros, these four of them took the opportunity to shoot, suffered two teams of midfielders back and forth B2B shuttle, most of them are doing defense and coping, really formed after inserting offensive threat ,too difficult.


    "Baros shot in the penalty area! The shot was missed!"


    "Gerard stopped the ball and shook Galasek. A shot from the penalty area line was made. Cech made a save and blocked the ball. The angle of the ball was not too good!"


    You come and go to fight against the two teams. In the first 20 minutes, a total of 11 shots were completed!


    The situation on the field is maintained at a delicate balance.


    The two teams can form a shot, but there is no perfect opportunity to start. It seems that it may rely on a sudden explosion at a certain point.


    The game is similar to "out of control". Although the audience may not see it, Aldrich and Br¨¹ckner can feel the mystery inside, making them uncomfortable as a coach.


    It''s like knowing that the left hand is punching out with a fist, and it''s still relying on the dagger held in the right hand behind the back, but I just have no chance to see the poor dagger!


    But Aldridge was very calm and calm.


    The scene opened wide and closed, and subtly confronted.


    The dragon stadium shouted loudly, every shot could bring fans cheers or sighs, and then applause.


    The reason for Aldridge¡¯s composure is that England can take the initiative to break this balance.


    The initiative of the situation is still in the hands of England.


    Is it an active attack to slow down?


    Do not!


    Not like that!


    Strategically, the England team has a physical advantage, if you slow down the pace, you can not play this advantage.


    The reason is that the Greek team might have a hard time grabbing the England team¡¯s possession, and the Czech team will be slightly more relaxed. This is determined by paper strength and the player¡¯s own ability.


    Therefore the speed cannot be reduced.


    Regardless of whether Br¨¹ckner wants to complete the first game or succeed in a blitz attack and then defend, the England team can''t slow down at any time.


    They must maintain the rhythm of the game. If the Czech team wants to slow down, then they will rush to grab the opponent and force the opponent to accelerate!


    In this delicately balanced situation, the English team who can break the balance is Ashley Cole!


    England''s side attack can achieve a balance. It is a misplaced attack and defense. Beckham on the right side is in front of his own position. Left-back defender Ashley Cole and Gary Neville focus on defense.


    The Greek team can maintain a balanced situation with the England team, but rely on the bilateral guards to crazy over the assists!


    Ashley Cole has been a regular full-back for the first 20 minutes, mainly on the defensive end.


    The Czech team attacked on the wing, and the left side was more powerful. There is no doubt that Nedved and Jankulovski dislocated on the left and right sides of the double track. They successfully suppressed Beckham and Gary Neville. Beckham Physical fitness is good, but Beckham''s speed is not fast, so Nedved can suppress Beckham.


    But the hidden danger on this side of the Czech team is that when Jankulovski assists up and down, Gerrard in the frontcourt should attack to the right and he will not be marked to death!


    So England can also shoot several shots.


    However, the left attack is almost paralyzed, especially on the left, Ashley Cole does not go up, Lampard is more inclined to take the offensive routine of the front center of the penalty area, so the frontcourt of the England team is almost concentrated on the center and right The empty space on the left is not well utilized.


    At the 25th minute of the game, Aldridge made a gesture to make Ashley Cole boldly assist!


    Aldridge firmly believes in his tuned team. He never exposes all offensive points at once like the Czech Republic. He likes to keep one hand in case of unexpected needs. It used to be one hand. Now there will be more. The battle is not open. , First want to lose, he has to prepare the team for many counterattacks under adversity.


    In the 28th minute, the Czech team attacked in the frontcourt. Rosicky and Hargreaves were old acquaintances. The former played for Dortmund and the latter played for Bayern Munich. Rosicky played very well today. Maybe he lacked experience in the competition. He was in the group stage. He was also placed in the left midfield, which is now in the position of Nedved, but he did not perform well, so Br¨¹ckner returned Rosicky to the front waist where he was good, and Nedved retreated. To ensure the quality of offensive and defensive midfield.


    In the confrontation with Hargreaves, Rosicky did not take the advantage, this time it was successfully intercepted by Hargreaves!


    The Czech team failed to attack!


    The England team was turned from defense to attack!


    Before robbing Poboski, Hargreaves stabbed the ball to Scholes, who quickly passed the ball to the front left before Nedved''s crazy rush, and Lampard led the ball forward!


    At this point in front of Lampard, only Gerrard and Owen.


    However, in his left rear, Ashley Cole rushed forward quickly, extremely fast, and the parallel position has exceeded Poboski. The assist from Grigra was very close to Lampard. To chase Lampard, did not notice Ashley Cole''s forward insertion.


    Lampard didn''t stick the ball, before passing to the front waistline, he directly passed the ball to Owen. Owen, who was ordered by Aldridge from the first day when he took office, ordered Owen to pass a ball. He directly knocked the ball horizontally. On the left, this is a wonderful pass!


    Ashley Cole was given a lead in advance.


    The offense is very clear.


    Ashley Cole set the ball on the edge and turned the ball inside after getting the ball, Grigra pulled back to block, Lampard looked for an empty space in front of the penalty area, Ashley Cole crossed the ball and Garase Gram came over and blocked, Lampard crossed the ball again and then ran.


    He and Gerrard completed the transposition, Gerrard took over the position of Lampard, and then sent a diagonal pass.


    Lampard hit the penalty area and broke through the Czech defender line!


    This is a golden opportunity!


    Cech abandoned the door!


    Lampard and Cech were less than 10 yards away. He made a one-shot shot and volleyed!


    Cech was still very stable, did not take the initiative to save, volleyed the goal at the corner of Lampard, wanted to send the ball from the ground into the goal at a small angle!


    Cech subconsciously lowered the center of gravity and stretched his leg, blocking the ball!


    "Lampard missed a chance to score a goal! Czech goalkeeper Cech is too good! The young goalkeeper will never panic, and his calm performance also made him complete with Premier League upstart Chelsea earlier this month. Signing, next season, he will compete in the extremely cruel Premier League!"

 Chapter 1019： Wise thinks

    Although Lampard missed a golden opportunity, Aldridge did not show any disappointment.


    The offensive threat came out.


    The quality of England''s offense has improved.


    While the English fans in the stands were still sighing, the Czech team''s counterattack suddenly broke out.


    Why do Aldridge and Br¨¹ckner think the game is out of control?


    The scene showed intuitively that both teams lacked a two-point offense.


    It''s like Cech blocking the ball. In the periphery, no English player can follow up, continue the attack or actively control it, and oppress the opponent.


    Irving ran in the penalty area to contain the opponent''s line of defense, Ashley Cole responded on the sidelines, Lampard and Gerrard completed the cooperation before the penalty area, and finally formed a shot in the penalty area.


    Behind them, the players who follow up are not as fast as the Czech team''s midfield back defense. Beckham''s pure fight speed is not as good as Nedved, especially Nedved is not actively marking Beckham. Years of experience made him feel very strong in the midfield defense.


    Therefore, the Czech team can calmly control the outer landing points. Jankulovski did not contribute anything in the defense just now, but helped the Czech team get the ball after returning to the position.


    Immediately afterwards, the Czech team started its offensive from this point, and Jankulovski needed to catch two breaths, so he could not take the ball forward. In that case, he only slowed down the Czech team''s offensive speed.


    So he passed the ball to Galasek.


    For marking Garasek, the England team relied on Irving and Gerrard. It can be said that in cutting the opponent''s defensive arrangement, the focus of the defensive line on the front line is to restrict Garasek. The midfielder relies on four people to mark the attack of the other three. .


    However, the ideal defensive arrangement is not necessarily perfect in the execution. Every time it succeeds, especially when the Czech team runs smoothly and the speed is fast and there are not many mistakes.


    Irving could no longer defend Garasek, and Gerrard ran back and was almost parallel to Garasek.


    For a defensive midfielder, the ability to handle the ball may make mistakes in Gerrard''s **** and lose the ball.


    However, Galasek was born in the avant-garde, and his feet had a certain level of life. After he controlled the ball, he suddenly stopped the ball and recovered it. After getting rid of Gerrard in a moment, he quickly kicked the ball to the right of the court.


    Ashley Cole had just dashed back to his own half and was surprised to see Poboski pull forward, receiving a long pass from Galasek.


    The principle behind the former Manchester United player using Ashley Cole''s assists is the same as that of the English team using the opponent''s full-back assists.


    Poboski crossed 45 degrees when Scholes came to defend!


    The ball passed strangely, because the arc was very big.


    The ball that jumped into the air with a strong rotation made a graceful trajectory.


    Terry is marking the high center of the Czech team, Jan Koller, as expected, the goal of this ball is at the place where the two of them are fighting.


    The weird thing is that if Jan Kohler is heading the goal, Terry has the confidence to win the championship, but when the ball falls around an arc, it spins outward!


    If Jan Kohler is heading for the goal, he will have to take two steps back and then jump to the top of the ball.


    As long as he backs up, Terry will definitely squeeze and win in the confrontation!


    Terry has this confidence!


    But now the two are always fighting against each other, and no one is trying to hold back.


    Terry wondered, it was obviously impossible for the opponent to head the ball and Terry could not get the ball.


    Jan Kohler jumped, and at the moment of the jump, Terry did not jump, his eyes turned to Baros!


    Because of the trajectory of the arc of the ball, it is impossible for Jan Kohler to head the ball to the goal. There is no angle at all!


    But since Jan Kohler jumped up, it was naturally impossible to stop the ball in the chest, it was only a response, and the header was ferried!


    Terry saw that Baros was about to move around Campbell. He had already made plans to assist the defense. Jan Kohler headed to Baros and he rushed directly to join forces with Campbell to stifle the Czech team this attack. From Judging by the distance and combining with Baros to stop and control the ball will take time. Terry is still calm and confident.


    When Jan Kohler ferried the real header, Terry was surprised!


    The direction of the opponent''s header ferry is not to Baros, but before the penalty area!


    The ball flew in the direction of Hargreaves, but behind Hargreaves, a striking figure rushed up bravely, squeezing away in a state where Hargreaves was caught off guard The opponent uses the chest to stop the ball in front of him.


    From the rapid rotation and fall, to the strength of Jan Kohler''s ferry, and then to the ball being stopped by the chest, the ball returned to the state of lightness, and the speed fell quickly and slowly towards the ground.


    The ball did not land.


    The man directly hit a world wave in the sky!


    The ball didn''t rotate this time, just like the shells hitting the air, the angle is not too good or too bad, but it''s just big power and fast speed!


    Robinson reacted to make a save. He kicked the ground and pushed his body away from the ground. The palm at the end of his right arm tried to keep the ball out, but he was desperate just after he left the ground.


    slow!


    If the ball is slower, he can catch it, but the slower is him, not the speed of the ball.


    boom!


    Dragon Stadium is boiling instantly!


    The fans of the Czech team jumped frantically to celebrate and cheered, while the fans of the England team were struck by a sunny day, just ten seconds ago, they were still sighing for Lampard¡¯s missed golden opportunity, and the sigh was not over. Can only be silent and shocked.


    In their eyes, the figure who had broken through the gates of the Three Lions was extremely familiar.


    The familiar elegant blonde hair.


    Familiar way of breaking the door.


    Familiar passion wild!


    Nedved!


    After a world wave blasted on the line of the penalty area, Nedvide ran to the side of the court, screaming as he ran, his arms waving vigorously up and down in front of him.


    The **** of steel warfare, Pegasus stepped on the world!


    The symbol of Czech football after independence, a model of diligence of all football players in an era, Nedved, changed the score on the field, which boosted the morale of the Czech team, and also made countless England fans start to worry and began to pray.


    When the opponent has a core character like Nedved as the soul of the team, no one can help but worry!


    "Nedved kicked out the visually shocking world wave! In this game, the Czech team and the England team are changing their attack and defense rhythm too fast! This goal process is the best interpretation. More than ten seconds ago, the England team almost broke The Czech team''s door, after more than ten seconds, the Czech team actually scored! At this time the live camera was aimed at the England coach Sir Hall. Before the game, a reporter asked him how to deal with Nedved, he did not With a positive answer, he said: In my ten-year coaching career, I have never said at a press conference that a goal is to restrict an opponent''s player. Football is a team sport. In a sense, his words are Correct, perhaps as the newspaper comments ridiculed: Sir Hall didn¡¯t know how to limit Nedved, just like in the World Cup, he couldn¡¯t stop Ronaldinho from breaking through the England gate.¡±


    Aldridge remained indifferent.


    The Czech scored.


    Well, scored a goal.


    If England is still the former England who played anti-anti-main, Aldridge will be angry and panic.


    But now it is not necessary.


    The Czech team''s offensive is fierce and goals are normal.


    Hargreaves made a defensive error and was squeezed away by Nedvide to grab the landing point. In response to Jan Kohler''s ferry to make the ball successful, the big reason is that Hargreaves''s focus on confrontation was placed on Rosicky. On his right back, Nedved forwarded the kill from his left back. Hargreaves¡¯ center of gravity was not on Nedved. He insisted that there were any mistakes, that is, observation of the surrounding situation. not enough.


    However, the attacker can theoretically run as he pleases.


    So there should have been Scholes here. Unexpectedly, the Czech team''s counterattack was too fast. Ashley Cole had not returned yet. Scholes went to the sidelines to help weaken the front and back of the penalty area.


    Aldridge did not accuse Beckham, he would not blame the players unreasonably, let Beckham follow Nedved from the side and go back to the front of the penalty area, the requirements are too harsh, if he does so, Aldridge will not agree Assuming that Nedved did not score this goal, and England played a fast break again, Beckham could release the offense, because Nedved could not catch up with him because of the long distance.


    Nedved''s experience has played a huge role and is commendable, but Aldridge has no time to think about it at this time.


    He set his sights on Br¨¹ckner.


    I don''t know what adjustment this opponent will make after leading.


    Continue to attack?


    If not attacking, retreat to slow down the rhythm, to supplement physical fitness?


    He and Br¨¹ckner both knew that the further the game, the greater the advantage of the England team is because of physical fitness.


    It takes 3 days for professional players to recover their physical fitness in a short period of time. Like many multi-line players in European giants, if there is no strong player team, they can never insist on a complete season. Like Real Madrid last season, a lineup hits the world. When physical fitness is no problem, he can lead Valencia by 8 points, and after physical fitness problems, a big crash comes one after another.


    During the European Cup, continuous battles have higher physical fitness requirements. It is also necessary to consider that the game time is in the midsummer season. Compared with autumn and winter, the game consumption is very different. The average age of England¡¯s main lineup is at the stage of a prosperous career, plus the schedule Strategic planning, when they come to the semifinals, their advantages will be more obvious in the game.


    Br¨¹ckner was indeed thinking about letting the Czech team close, at least, maintaining the 1-0 advantage until the end of the half, so that it was mobilized during the intermission, maybe England will play more and more in the second half Anxious.


    At this time, the game has reached 30 minutes, and has completed 1/3 of the regular time.


    Br¨¹ckner''s adjustment did not anticipate Aldridge''s expectations. The overall formation of the Czech team shrank back, and the assists of bilateral defenders weakened.


    Aldridge made a stable posture with his hands pressed towards the English players on the court, which is to stabilize their mentality.


    The Czech team closes back, so catching and defending is the main offensive method.


    If England''s mentality is unbalanced, maybe after the first half, we can congratulate the Czech team for the finals.


    When the Czech team wanted to slow down the pace, the England team had the upper hand in the midfield confrontation.


    Scholes''s offense began to be released. Since he was placed in the midfield and backcourt by Aldridge, he was no longer the former front waist, so when the offense did not run up, the offense ended. Now, the Czech team is back To close, it needs the England team to play the offense more carefully, and his ability will be more fully played.


    Although Rosicky is highly motivated and defensive, he is a bit courageous. It is difficult to stop Scholes.


    So the Czech team''s defense problems are more obvious. Nedved can''t put Beckham, Poboski''s marking on Lampard is enough, Scholes'' attack from the middle forward is very smooth, and then needs to be in the front waistline. In the meticulous work, he will get the ball faster. As soon as he gets the ball, Lampard forwards, Bella Jr., Ashley Cole takes the left side, Gerrard and Owen rush one ahead. In the post-court, the England team''s offensive play was fairly impressive.


    The reason is also related to the fact that the Czech team''s defensive player strength is not top. The two central defenders plus the back, only the defensive ability is barely first-class, but in addition to their technical ability, their tenacious court style is a major advantage.


    When the England team completed 5 offensive goals in the past 10 minutes, but the Czech team failed to counterattack quality, Br¨¹ckner realized that he had made a mistake.


    If the Czech team slows down the rhythm, then the control of the rhythm on the field is in the hands of the England team. The English team wants to slow down and the fast, the Czech team has to run behind the England team, which is also huge. !


    Only when the game is out of control, even if the Czech team has to worry about the physical performance in the second half, it still does not fall on the scene. If you seize the opportunity, you can score another goal.


    When Galasek fouled Scholes in the 41st minute, and Beckham completed a high-quality set goal, Cech was blocked, and Gerald made another shot and Borf used his body. Blocking the bottom line, Br¨¹ckner was tense and nervous, and he made another change.


    Go on like this, no way!


    Absolutely not!


    There are dangers in the penalty area. The England team is also a midfielder who lacks a personal dribbling breakthrough. If the Netherlands hits them like this, it may have been a talented player who has already turned over one or two people.


    The success of dealing with the Netherlands stems from an offensive, persevering offensive, and no worries about physical fitness.


    When playing England, Br¨¹ckner wanted to be thoughtful about everything, but the reality in front of him is that this pursuit is greedy.


    Just like Aldridge¡¯s active change, which led the Czech team to create a goal offensive from behind Ashley Cole¡¯s assist, there is no countermeasure on the court unless England is at least lower than the Czech team. The third gear team.


    Br¨¹ckner made a big wave and made the Czech team open the offensive again. He wanted to catch the opponent by surprise, defended for 10 minutes, and then suddenly broke out, England, will the ditch overturn?


    Aldridge has a keen insight into the premise of the Czech team formation, as well as the running tendency of the full-back. His mouth is slightly raised, waiting for the readjustment of the Czech team!


    As for how to make a final decision when there is a chance, Aldridge also has a clear idea.


    Repay one another with one''s way!

 Chapter 1020： Chasing the wind and breaking the door

    If we only consider the game 30 minutes ago, one of Aldridge¡¯s starters today should not be a starter, that is Gerrard.


    It''s not that Gerrard did not perform well, but on the English bench, in terms of the previous 30-minute game environment, Rooney''s appearance may be more intuitive than Gerald''s threat.


    The closer to the goal, even if only 18 years old, Rooney''s threat is greater than Gerald, but the closer to the midfield, Gerald''s role and ability must be stronger than 18-year-old Rooney.


    Br¨¹ckner gave Aldrich an accident, the Czech team spared no effort to play against England, resulting in the midfield of both sides slightly appearing to be ineffective in the saw, and the attack and defense conversion was too fast, so in the first 30 minutes, need Jie When Rad was closer to the goal to complete the goal, his performance was not satisfactory. If there is a positive Indian striker, the effect may be much better.


    But this is a football game, Aldridge is not entangled.


    When his deployment will fail, his opponent will always cause him trouble.


    In terms of tactics, when the Czech team withdrew, the England team built an advantage in the midfield and frontcourt, which put the game back on the right track expected by Audridge. Gerrard''s performance is getting better and better, and the England team is even. , Only one step away.


    When the Czech team rushed back in the last few minutes of the first half, Aldridge immediately made adjustments.


    But it wasn''t defensively, how to defend, England had a deep heart. As for the defense, it didn''t hold up. When the rhythm was out of control, no one dared to pack the ticket.


    What Aldridge adjusted was the striker. He gestured to Gerald. Gerald understood that in his position, he needed more flexibility and could not stick to the rigidity. He had a deep friendship with Owen. It also makes them more comfortable in cooperation.


    Today, once the England team and the Czech team started the offensive game, the most eye-catching players in the midfield are the left midfield players. The Czech team is Nedved. The attack and defense suppresses Beckham and the entire left. The England team is Lan. Pad, when he was attacking, Poboski returned to the defense although he tried hard, but he couldn''t keep up with the pace of Lampard.


    In the 44th minute, the Czech team launched a fast break. Jankulovsky and Nedvide made a cross on the left, and Campbell nodded in the front to make a clearance. Beckham ran back to grab the falling ball. , While passing the ball back to Neville, the finger points to the other side of the court.


    Gary Neville kept the ball and transferred a long diagonal pass. The ball was not very good because Neville transferred too quickly. Beckham returned because of pressure from Nedved, Neville was due to his area. It was more dangerous, and Jankulovsky walked back and suddenly came to kill.


    The ball almost came out of the sideline. Fortunately, Ashley Cole rushed up and kicked the ball forward with a tackle.


    Lampard controlled the ball in front of the midfield and dribble forward.


    At this time, the Czech team''s left defense was relatively empty, but the England team still played their right, there was no response there, especially Gerrard did not move to the right, but slid into the penalty area!


    The Czech team itself did not pay special attention to this change. Gerrard no longer responded outside, but instead entered the penalty zone!


    What about Irving?


    Owen withdrew.


    He and Gerrard completed a transposition.


    Lampard moved to the middle after scoring into the frontcourt. In front of Garasek, he suddenly passed the ball to Gerald at the forefront.


    Gerrard is facing away from the Czech team''s goal. Even if he is at the top, he does not face the Czech team''s goal. In fact, he did not intend to turn around, nor to stop the ball.


    He kicked the ball and gave the ball to Irving, who was slightly behind.


    In front of Irving are two central defenders of the Czech team, Bolf and Uyfalusi.


    Gerald has helped him distract Uyfalusi, he took the ball directly to the middle of the penalty area to kill!


    Just stepping into the penalty area, Bolf came to close the door to defend and stop Irving.


    The other party''s move is in the middle of the arms!


    Owen was already prepared, he waited for the opponent to inward, and because Gerrard was in front of his left, the Czech defender''s defense was also slightly contracted there, trying to squeeze space, not to give Owen a breakthrough and pass. Threatening the ball gives Gerrard a chance.


    And Owen suddenly put the ball to the side and back of Bolf with the outside foot, which is the right front that Owen faced!


    Bolf didn''t expect Irving to dash into the middle of the road anymore, he stopped and turned around, slow!


    Owen''s ball combination is very good, changing back and then killing forward, although the angle is not as good as straight cut, but it has formed a semi-single-shot trend.


    Facing Cech, who blocked the near corner, Owen still used the outside of the foot and the back of the foot. A shot was made, and the ball crossed an outer arc to the inside of the far post of the goal!


    The new generation of Czech goalkeeper Cech rushed out, but was too far away because he paid too much attention to blocking the near corner of the goal. Moreover, Owen was really tricky and Cech was unable to return to the sky!


    The beautiful and unpredictable arc shot shot through the gate guarded by Cech. After Irving shot, he knew that the ball must be scored!


    When he saw that the result was not different from what he had expected, a confident and happy smile appeared on his face.


    The golden boy chasing the wind, the green shade is galloping!


    "Michael Owen! Owen! Owen! Owen! He helped the England team to equalize the score! Sharp change of direction breakthrough, fast speed, and superb shot! The Czech team is only 1 minute away to be 1:0 Leading into the locker room! At the end of the half, if they lead by one goal, the situation in the second half will be very different, but now back in a draw, the Czech team failed to hold on to the last minute of the first half!"


    The roars of the fans of the Three Lions were heard from the Dragon Stadium, and they shook the sky!


    Aldridge also waved his fists while smiling on the sidelines.


    This ball is crucial!


    Although the score is a draw, the situation will be more and more beneficial to England!


    Br¨¹ckner couldn''t hide his disappointment.


    The research on the England team has been done very well.


    For top strikers like Irving, the biggest feature is three, first, shooting, which goes without saying. Second, the speed, especially the combination speed of the human ball and the breakthrough speed, is very tricky. He must limit his activity space and not give him the space and opportunity to start an explosion. Third, position.


    If Irving has been at the forefront of the strike line, his speed is difficult to play without space. It is his running position that needs to be marked. Only after the running position is out of defense, his shooting will be activated. A stage where the exhibition grows.


    Br¨¹ckner did not expect that Gerald''s midfielder, not only played a shadow striker in this competition, his performance can not be said to be perfect, at least the score is not low, but now he also directly started the response task at the forefront of the front, similar At the pivot, it is more flexible than the pivot.


    Without Gerrard going up, Irving would be useless to withdraw and create space on his own, because no matter how fast the speed is and how strong it is to break through, it is still very difficult to break through two or three players.


    When Gerrard did cover and contain, and Owen retreated at the same time to have the space to break the ball, the two defenders of the Czech team, Ujfalusi, are stronger and have reached the first-class level. There is room for improvement, but 30-year-old Bolf is dwarfed. Originally, in the arrangement of the Czech team''s defender line, Br¨¹ckner has a consideration of the advantages and disadvantages of each other. Strong, so Jankulovsky and Bolf are in the left half, Uyfalusi and Grigra are in the right half. Who ever thought that today''s attack and defense conversion rhythm is just breaking the table, Ashley Ko I can''t go back when I go up, and I can''t go back when Jankulovsky goes up!


    Of course Irving didn''t rush to the middle, and took the right to directly blow off Bolf, and then completed the goal. Br¨¹ckner had no way to lower the rhythm, or reduce the assist range of Jankulovsky, the Czech team''s The offensive will be greatly affected, and it is difficult to control.


    It is basically the same as the Czech team scored the goal of the England team. The England team is also a forward who attracts and draws in the front, and then inserts the player to form a fatal blow. It depends on the performance of the player¡¯s personal ability at a critical moment. The world wave is not accidental, he has this ability, and Owen''s goal after the dribbling breakthrough is not accidental.


    The referee did not give one minute and one second of stoppage time, the first half went very smoothly, both sides were not ink, the situation of dead ball rarely happened, positioning ball, sideline ball, gateball and the like, both teams rushed Quickly, the head referee is also tired enough to choke.


    Poor Golden Whistle Corina is 44 years old. There are 23 players on the field. Who is the most tired?


    Referee Corina!


    However, this serious black law enforcement officer was very excited, and could not help but praise the Czech team and the England team.


    This game is also of special significance to Corina!


    This is his "War of the Curtain".


    The legal retirement age of the international referee is 45 years old. In February next year, Corina will be 45 years old. Therefore, this game was designated as the referee by UEFA, which is a kind of recognition and reward for his work. .


    Because he punished the opening game of the current European Cup, so missed the final, the penultimate game of the European Cup, can be regarded as the "goodbye" of Corina International.


    Even if he runs hard and tired, Corina can always appear within 25 yards of the ball running in the game. He is also working hard, although many people can¡¯t see it, even the audience¡¯s sight seems to be ignored. His presence.


    He did not have any grievances and dissatisfaction.


    This is the highest level of football referee law enforcement competition!


    Forgotten!


    While holding the ball towards the player''s channel, Corina secretly adjusted his breath and ran for 45 minutes without stopping. He was also a bit overwhelmed, but he was still looking forward to it, looking forward to England and the Czech team in the second half can continue to stage wonderful games, let his international The stage swan song became a classic, even if he didn''t even count supporting roles!


    His thoughts are consistent with the fans watching the game. If Corina didn''t blow the whistle, the audience would not feel the passage of time.


    1:1 is not the end, there are 45 minutes to look forward to, and even more!

 Chapter 1021： New Gate God

    At halftime, in the locker room, Aldridge affirmed the team''s performance in the first half, and made corresponding fine-tuning according to the changes in the overall situation in the first half.


    Especially in the backcourt midfield and left defense.


    On the offensive side, the England team is getting better. Although it is against the Czech team, in terms of offensive routines and opportunities, the English team is better than the Czech team.


    The head coach has a game of chess. Today''s game with the Czech team, the hard power is partially distributed in the whole. The England team is slightly stronger. At the same time, the Czech team has a front piece that has never been activated.


    Rosicky.


    The central midfielder of Dortmund lacked a sense of presence in the first half. In the local confrontation, he was restricted by Hargreaves to do nothing, but he was only seen in occasional tandem and was in danger. During the offensive in the zone, Rosicky did not pose a clear threat.


    Judging by Aldrich¡¯s experience, Rosicky¡¯s performance was average. It was not that Br¨¹ckner kept his back in hiding the offensive point, or other factors deliberately made it. It should be that the simplest state is not good, the performance is not good, maybe it is The lack of experience in the competition, the lack of pressure resistance and so on.


    In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought.


    After the kick-off, the English team continued to speed up the offensive rhythm. The Czech team did not take the initiative to control the rhythm. Although Br¨¹ckner was worried about the team¡¯s physical fitness, he could not care so much now, only in the "out of control" state. The Czech team''s offensive opportunity has the highest probability of scoring!


    With 45 minutes of play in the first half, England''s offensive against the Czech team has a defensive experience.


    In the first 15 minutes of the second half, Rosicky''s slump became the key to restricting the Czech team in the game of open attack, but instead made the Czech team unable to play a more threatening attack than the first half.


    They can only make long shots from the periphery, or find the head of high center Jan Kohler in the cross.


    "Jan Kohler headed the ball! The angle was too positive and Robinson easily took it off."


    "Nedved shot long, wow, slide out the door!"


    The offensive of the England team will naturally be more effectively defended by the Czech team. It is unlikely that the same routine will be used to penetrate the Czech team''s defense.


    Due to the poor performance of Rosicki, who served as the midfielder, the Czech team did not make use of the midfielder when attacking in the frontcourt, and the area equivalent to its own offensive was compressed.


    Therefore, Nedved started to attack the middle of the front waist area!


    In the 62nd minute, Nedvide responded to Poboski''s cross and took the ball to the middle of the penalty area. Hargreaves'' uneasy defensive interception action could not stop Nedved''s advance. In front of the penalty area, Nedvide made a diagonal shot to Baros. Gary Neville destroyed the ball with a dangerous tackle. Baros fell into the penalty area. The referee Corina signaled that there was no foul!


    The danger of this ball is not only that Neville''s tackle action may give the opponent a penalty, but also because Neville is taking back the penalty area from the outside, his tackle does not make the ball clear, and even the defender taboos the ball. Still in the restricted area!


    Fortunately, Jan Kohler was a high center, not a speed forward. When he snatched the ball, Terry took the lead to clear the ball and made the England team safe again.


    The goal of the slash ball spurred England to counterattack.


    The ball that flew halfway fell to the area where Gerald was located. Gerald leaned back against Galasek. The two used their bodies to fight fiercely. Gerald took the lead to stand in position and predicted accurately. Seck jumped back and headed back to do it, giving the top of the ball to Beckham who was closer.


    The Czech team¡¯s insufficient utilization of the front waist area can be described as a move. Nedvide can attack the front waist area, which is a threat. However, if he turns his head and the attack cannot be achieved, Nedvide wants to Marking Beckham is hard to beat. At the starting position of the offense, Beckham threw away Nedved for more than 15 yards.


    Beckham dribbles the ball forward, Jankulovski guards the sideline, and warns that Beckham is making a threat on the sideline. However, Beckham only took three steps. In the case of unmarked, Beckham Dong Ruoguan watched the fire, and his excellent reading ability made him give up dribbling, even if there was still room for him to ride.


    A precise oblique long pass was sent out at the foot.


    The lightly leaping ball flew to the left of the penalty area of ??the Czech team with a rapid spin.


    The defender of the Czech team is retreating. Owen and Gerrard have changed positions before. The top is him, and he is sprinting at full speed at the moment. Beckham is aware of this and decisively launched a long. Pass offense.


    Although Irving succeeded in anti-offside, he did not hit the middle of the penalty area, but was close to the direction of the large penalty area line on the left. He led the Czech team''s defender line to the deep area of ??the penalty area. Ujfalusi was close to him, as long as Owen stopped the ball, Uyfalusi is confident of breaking the ball successfully!


    But Irving didn''t take off after he ran into position first. Following the ball, he headed back to the top!


    Lampard, who followed up in the back, quickly plugged in, and Galasek fired the line!


    At a critical moment, Lampard calmly sent a good pass, the right side of the penalty area!


    The ball penetrated between Ujfalusi and Bolf and rolled behind him. Gerrard slammed into the penalty area. Facing this god-given opportunity, he did not stop or adjust the ball without hesitation. Choose a kick!


    Cech did not make a save this time. The ball was too fast and played too suddenly. Unlike the trajectory that Irving scored, Gerrard¡¯s shot did not rotate, but it also flew to the far goal of the goal. Inside the column!


    boom!


    The atmosphere of the Dragon Stadium broke out again!


    "The England team has completed the reversal! 2:1, a wonderful goal, quick and tacit cooperation, Gerrard headed back to Beckham and rushed directly to the opponent''s penalty area. Beckham made a long pass to find Owen, Owen After heading back, Frank Lampard followed up. Lampard sent a good pass and assisted Gerald who had just entered the penalty area to score! The England team completed the reversal from behind! Gold Goal, Gerrard used the goal to return the confidence of coach Sir Hall! 2:1, away from the best record in the history of the European Cup in England, England can write a new history in only 30 minutes!"


    Gerrard rushed to celebrate passionately, waving his arms and shouting, and the English crowd will wave their right fists to show their perseverance.


    Aldridge applauded Gerrard''s goal on the sidelines, and then let the players calm down.


    Now that the score is ahead, they don''t have to pursue speed too much, as long as they consume their opponents step by step and use tenacious defense, they can definitely win the game!


    Bruckner was expressionless and silently walked to the bench to perform substitutions.


    Before the kick-off, the Czech team completed the first substitution in the match. Br¨¹ckner was an absolutely decisive coach. When he played against the Netherlands, he dared to make substitutions in the first half, which is evident.


    Rosicky was replaced and Smitchell played.


    Smitcher replaces Rosicky, but does not take over Rosicky''s position, giving him a midfielder and giving it to Nedved. Smitcher and Poboski play the midfielder behind the front waist in parallel.


    England took the lead, Aldridge made the team more balanced, trying to further consume the Czech team.


    As long as the last 15 minutes, the chances of the Czech team will become smaller and smaller.


    With the passage of time, the atmosphere of the game has become more tense. Both sides inevitably increased the foul moves, and the number of fouls is also constantly increasing. Fortunately, there is a gold whistle Corina, and the rhythm of the game can be out of control. But the discipline of the game will not be out of control.


    The Czech team is a confident team, as can be seen from their rotation to kill Germany. At the same time, the Czech team is also a bold and adventurous team under Br¨¹ckner. The Netherlands is represented by a 3:2 reversal. The work.


    As the England team paid more attention to defense, the Czech team did not get a better offensive opportunity. Even if Nedvide moved the midfielder, Smitcher played smoothly after playing, but the court fell into another level. Subtle stalemate.


    Br¨¹ckner knew that he needed variables to break the deadlock, so in the 70th minute, he made a bold substitution.


    "The Czech team used the second substitution and the right-back Grygra was replaced. The replacement for him was striker Marek Heinz! The Czech team is going to fight and have 3 forwards!"


    The substitution of the Czech team was unsurprising. Aldrich was already mentally prepared for this. When studying the game of the Czech team in the Netherlands, Br¨¹ckner was more aggressive and risky than he is now. He even removed the midfielder Gala Seck, 7 players who used pure offensive frontcourt!


    However, it was also related to the Dutch team being sent off with 10 players to face the challenge.


    When playing England, Br¨¹ckner is really crazy to not have a lower back, so the defender line lacking layer protection can almost be regarded as a fake.


    The continuous substitution of the Czech team is to strengthen the offense. They have weakened the defense at the cost. Their attack has not yet threatened, but the back line has sounded the alarm.


    In the 75th minute, Scholes seized the opportunity to send an exquisite long pass in the midfield and backcourt. After Grigora came off the field, the Czech defender''s line became large, and Owen seized the opportunity to counter the offside sprint. This time, he went to the meeting alone!


    The wind chasing teenager brought the ball into the penalty area, and the English fans in the stands stared at Owen intently. Everyone was expecting Owen to score this ball!


    As long as you enter, the Czech team is finished!


    Many fans of the Czech team are afraid to watch it.


    Owen''s dribbling into the penalty area is in the left zone, the shooting angle is ideal, Uyfalusi failed to catch up with him, giving him more time to adjust.


    Cech did not completely abandon the door, he just walked a few steps forward, just out of the small penalty area, this is a position that makes the shooter hesitant.


    Hanging door? Not insured.


    Owen still chose to play the far corner of the goal, a kick shot from under his feet.


    Cech scored two goals in a row. The opponents were all at the far corner of the goal, so this time Cech took the risk to save in advance. Almost at the same time when Irving completed the shooting, Cech moved and moved to the far corner of the goal. Then, according to the trajectory of the ball, make a resounding judgment between high shots, high or low? Or, Irving hit the corner and Cech gave the opponent a goal.


    However, Cech is right!


    Irving shot the ball itself very tricky, but Cech was prejudged to take a risk and blocked it!


    "Cech! A world-class save! He blocked Irving''s single-handed goal! He didn''t let the England team kill the game! The Czech team escaped!"


    After completing the save, it was determined that the ball was under the control of Yankulovsky, and Cech stood out with a roar. He used his performance to inspire his teammates and encouraged the Czech team to continue to fight against England!

 Chapter 1022： God will die for me? !

    Irving looked sluggish after the shot, and he shot with a confident foot, but he was saved by the opponent!


    Aldridge, who rarely gets out of hand, also felt incredible with one hand on the sidelines.


    Although the Czech team escaped from death, it was still difficult to do on the offensive end.


    Although Br¨¹ckner thanked Cech for his brave performance, he did not let the Czech team fall off the cliff, but he understood that at this moment, the Czech team had to make a choice.


    England''s solid defense line did not cause any confusion because of the Czech team''s three strikers.


    At this time, more effort is needed.


    What the Czech team needs is a goal!


    As he prepared to make the last substitution to desperately, the England team made another threat offensive.


    Lampard and Scholes made a two-on-one cooperation, the two killed together in the half, and crossed the Czech team''s back waistline by crossing the front waistline, and the soldiers came to the city!


    At this time, you can see that the England team has reached the penalty area before Lampard, Scholes, Gerrard, Irving.


    After the Czech team lost the backline, there were only three players on the back line, Jankulovsky, Bolf and Ujfalusi.


    4 hits 3!


    Moreover, the Czech team has only parallel defense and lacks level protection.


    Scholes aimed at the timing and sent a diagonal plug. Gerrard received the pass in the penalty area and then passed the ball and knocked back to the top of the penalty area.


    Lampard bowed his arrow and sent it with a heavy shot!


    Cech once again made a god-level save, flew to the bottom left corner of the goal to block the ball, the follow-up Irving intended to make another shot, and was blocked by Uyfalusi with his body!


    The ball was still in front of the penalty area. Scholes controlled the ball and was about to make another shot. Nedved shoveled from a diagonal rear and shoveled the ball in advance. Ujfalusi couldn''t care too much and directly Bigfoot makes a clearance and kicks the ball out of the sideline.


    The Czech team will have a lingering fear and need time to settle.


    "The Czech team is suffering bitterly for their crazy attacks at no cost. The emptiness of their back defense has made the England team one after another a golden opportunity. Unfortunately, the England team has not grasped. If they can score a goal, the suspense of the game may be Just disappeared."


    Aldridge couldn''t help but scratch his hair.


    Taking advantage of the chance of this dead ball, the Czech team completed the last substitution.


    Aldridge froze for a moment.


    "The last substitution for the Czech team was actually to replace Galacek in the lower back, and the player replaced was striker Lockevens! Br¨¹ckner is crazy, he must be crazy! Is the Czech team completely defensive? "


    Lockevens is a high center and usually plays Jan Kohler''s backup.


    Under normal circumstances, the two high centers are not unable to play, it will reduce the tactical changes, especially on the basis of balance.


    Just like if the offense and defense are 55 open, taking England''s 442 as an example, the two strikers of one high and one fast have been used for a long time. If they are two high centers, there will be a lack of speed impact. How about two high centers and a fast horse? Yes, but there is one more striker, either the back midfield is missing, or the back line is missing.


    Aldridge was a little caught off guard.


    Does the Czech team look down on people?


    Four strikers!


    Obviously the line of defense has been furious, and actually dare to weaken the defense!


    A few seconds after his head buzzed, Aldridge understood.


    Br¨¹ckner is betting his life with Aldridge!


    It depends on whose fate!


    England has a chance.


    But you **** can''t grasp it!


    The Czech team can''t shake the defense of the England team, so simply come to the whole army to press on, and really hit the Jedi counterattack!


    This kind of gambling is very similar to the golden ball that Aldridge led his team against Brazil.


    Either you died or I died!


    Life and death, destiny!


    After the appearance of Lockevens, the England team first played a fast break. After the sideline kicked out, they quickly went to the penalty area to threaten the offensive.


    The Czech team relied entirely on three defenders and three midfielders to organize their defense.


    At this time, Nedved played an important role. He let three guards shrink the penalty area and put the sideline to England. Then Smitchell and Poboski dragged on the backline. He was a free man himself. To intercept the offensive advancement of the England team.


    There is no high center in England...


    Irving has no room in the penalty area, but he can still compete with the midfielder. After all, the defense capabilities of Poboski and Smitcher cannot be compared with the pure midfielder.


    So, Poboski simply took a foul tactic and gave the England team a free kick before the penalty area.


    Beckham''s free kick this time failed to create a threat.


    Then the Czech team started to attack.


    They were not in a hurry. They stabilised the ball in the backcourt first, and the English team did not dare to **** in the frontcourt. After all, there were too many attacking players!


    After the Czech offensive players ran into place and the offensive formation was arranged, the pressure on the England team was as heavy as mountains!


    In the penalty area, the two towers of Jan Kohler and Lockevens attracted Campbell and Terry, and Baros and Heinz were free to move freely, which forced the full-backs to be included in the penalty area, as well as the lower back. Retreat.


    Overcrowded in the penalty area, I thought that the Czech team would use the front line to contain the England defender to retreat to the deep zone, which created space in front of the penalty area and made the attacking midfielder inserted later have a better Long shot space.


    Unexpectedly, the Czech team is playing the sideline.


    Jankulovsky crossed the ball with a 45-degree angle and drew into the penalty area. Campbell and Jan Kohler scrambled for a high point. Campbell won, but the ball that went out returned to Yankulovsky''s feet. Continue to pass.


    The threat in the second pass is greater, and the defensive player''s attention will divert the time difference in a short time.


    Jan Kohler and Lockevens failed to grab the landing point, and even Terry and Campbell also lost control of the landing point on the counterpointer. There were too many people in the penalty area.


    The placement was still grabbed by the players of the Czech team!


    Heinz threw off Ashley Cole''s defensive header at the back point!


    All eyes were on, everyone held their breath and focused on the Czech team''s offense.


    The time has come to 80 minutes.


    Heinz''s header looked very reliable and the ball flew towards England''s goal.


    boom.


    The ball hits the post and pops!


    The luck of the Czech team is too bad!


    The pop-up ball landed in front of Ashley Cole. He directly kicked the ball to make a clearance, but failed to kick the ball high in a hurry. A smooth low-altitude ball flew out and actually hit Lampa outside the penalty area. De''s body!


    Lampard did not hide!


    He just wanted to beat Ashley Cole. Can you **** kick outside the sideline?


    Less than 10 meters away from the penalty area and Lampard¡¯s location outside the penalty area, suddenly a ball flew over, and Lampard¡¯s dodge action was just made. The ball hit his thigh and changed back to the penalty area. Lampard How dare you stop the ball?


    The **** ball bounced back into the penalty area, and went to the other side. In the rolling direction, there was a Czech player Baros!


    Gary Neville shoveled from behind, but instead of rushing, he shoveled to block Baros'' shot.


    But Baros calmly took the ball outward.


    With a stop and a buckle, a dense line of defense appeared!


    Neville''s flying shovel went away, Campbell also moved over to stop Baros from shooting, and Hargreaves followed the flying shovel!


    As a result, Campbell and Hargreaves'' defense area appeared empty.


    Baros knew he couldn''t take a shot, unless he didn''t swing his legs, but he couldn''t guarantee the quality of the shot. Between the electro-optical flints, Baros shoved the ball forward to the right.


    Young Kohler, who was unmarked on the line in the small penalty area, stretched his long legs and shot directly!


    Terry''s sliding tackle was late when the ball rolled towards the England goal. Terry turned his head in horror and looked towards the goal. Robinson was rushing, but it was obviously slow!


    Terry closed his eyes and showed his unwillingness.


    BOOM!


    "The Czech team equalized the score! The equalized score! A mess in the penalty area, it was Jan Kohler! It wasn¡¯t Baros, it was Jan Kohler that equalized the score for the Czech team! 2:2, the Czechs continued their failure. Lost! Since not taking part in the Korea-Japan World Cup, Br¨¹ckner took 17 undefeated records before the European Cup and even won one win and one draw against the Netherlands in the qualifiers. In one match and one knockout game, after four straight victories in the European Cup, their undefeated record reached 21! Now, they are back from the death line! Will this be their 22nd undefeated? No, yes Wouldn¡¯t it be a five-game winning streak for the Czech team? Bruckner¡¯s fight-on-the-spot adjustment If Sir Hall made it, no one was surprised, but now, it¡¯s Bruckner¡¯s gambling adjustment to help the Czech team After the game was restored, how would the situation develop in less than 10 minutes? Oh, England will be replaced on the sidelines, and Sir Hall will also play a backhand. The suspense in the semifinals still exists!"


    Aldridge remained calm enough despite the ups and downs on the sidelines.


    The Czech team is as strong as a tiger and it evenly equalized the score in one breath.


    If the England team seized two or three good opportunities before, it would have killed the game long ago.


    This is the case with football games.


    He told Rooney on the sidelines, and Rooney was expressionless.


    In fact, he is very depressed and needs to explode!


    On the shooter list, he is no longer ranked first, behind Barrosh by two goals. At the same time, he has just refreshed the youngest goal record, and was also refreshed by Swiss Feng Lantang before.


    His depression can''t break out on the team, only on the field!


    As Rooney walked towards the center line, Aldridge made a steady gesture of two-handed press against the players on the court, and then made another gesture to Scolst.


    The England team needs to calmly face the current situation and realize that the Czech team''s physical fitness has definitely reached the stage of running out of lights.


    At the same time, Bruckner''s fight did not kill the England team, and sequelae will also appear.


    The Czech team has no replacements!


    These players on the field, no matter how they line up, must have lost their balance!


    "England''s substitutions, the goalkeeper Irving was replaced and the replacement for Irving was teenager Wayne Rooney!"


    After the kick-off in England, Scholes firmly implemented Aldridge''s on-the-spot adjustment.


    The England team started a similar field-control kick against Greece.


    Br¨¹ckner was not stunned by a tie-breaking goal, only short-lived joy, and then concentrated on the changes in the situation on the court.


    At this moment, he was struggling with his teeth.


    Finally, finally came to this stage!


    The decline of the Czech team''s physical strength is due to the fact that the entire court is attacking each other and England also has a physical loss, but they have a long rest period before, so that the weak advantage will not be reflected in the whole game, but will be near the end of the game, that is, The final stage is reflected.


    Coupled with the lack of a Czech Indian defender and a defensive midfielder, the Czech team''s interception is even weaker.


    To put it bluntly, the player who plays the full-back at the time of defense is Poboski, the midfielder is Nedved, and the striker withdraws to the midfield. At the same time, the hidden danger is the quality of their defense in key areas!


    Combined with physical influence, they are unable to control the situation.


    Aldridge looked quiet like water on the sidelines, silently said: consume more, consume more, wait for them to mess, wait for them to mess!


    Br¨¹ckner knows that the Czech team needs to complete the lore, and within 90 minutes, once they enter overtime, they will never have a chance. England still has two substitution places.


    So he ordered the team to rush to grab!


    The England team keeps the ball in a row, and it still seems to be unhurried under the pressure of the opponent. At this moment, if the opening game is so controlled, it will definitely not work. Now, it has an immediate effect.


    Because the Czech team has two high center forwards, the ability to move is not enough. The roundup needs tacit understanding and speed, as well as defensive ability.


    The four forwards of the Czech team alone, except for the position where there is someone there, the defense is almost by shock.


    If the England team stormed and attacked, the luck was worse and the Czech team defended, and then the Czech team vigorously counterattacked, the England team will explain the small life here.


    Now it is consuming the physical and mental will of the Czech team and making them chaotic!


    Let their previous momentum dissipate!


    The Czech team retreated, and Scholes finally began to spur a threat offensive.


    In the 88th minute, Lampard responded to Scholes passing the ball to Gerrard, who crossed the front of the penalty area when Nedved came to grab, and Scholes inserted the ball and went forward Into the restricted area, a half-and-single sword is formed!


    Scholes was the hero of the last victory over Greece, this time, he also has the opportunity to become a hero!


    But he shot a feeble shot.


    Cech, not moving like a mountain, calmly took the ball into his arms.


    All England fans are incredible!


    Aldridge is also crazy!


    This **** thing is really going to die me!


    Br¨¹ckner waved his arms excitedly on the sidelines, beckoning the Czech team to seize the time to attack!


    Let the game end in 90 minutes and kill England!


    Cech hand tossed the ball and threw it, it was passed to Jankulovsky!


    Before the end of the game, the Czech team made a final vow!

 Chapter 1023： Zhi Chong Yun Xiao swallow the red sun

    Br¨¹ckner dreamed that the Czech team would come again at the last minute to explode the oppressive offensive of the whole army!


    However, the Czech team can not be impulsive!


    After taking the ball, Jankulovski looked up and looked forward. There were no players in England''s half.


    The two high centers are running hard in the middle, but their speed is really not an advantage.


    Both Baros and Heinz just recovered the backcourt side and center. On the other side, although Heinz has no physical problems, his starting position is too late.


    Needless to say, Nedved, when Scholes shot, he chased back into the penalty zone all the way and stopped near the penalty spot.


    Poboski ran forward from the right back position and couldn''t move.


    The only midfielder who can move forward quickly is Smitchell, but he is also blocked by Hargreaves and Beckham. Beckham pressed the front and blocked the pass line. Hargreaves followed Defense.


    Nedv¨§d from the back to the front, Lampard also ignored his own defensive zone at this time, close to Nedv¨§d, and blocked him from receiving the pass from Jankulovsky.


    Scholes then arrived.


    Gerald, who is closest to Jankulovsky, rushed over to snatch. Yankulovsky wanted to pass the ball to his teammates, but there was no pass line forward, even if there was a gap, it was very dangerous.


    When Gerald rushed over, Jankulovsky dared not lose the ball and could only pass the ball. He wanted to pass the ball to Smitchell. Passed to Beckham!


    "Czech team pass error in the backcourt! Jankulovski actually passed the ball to the opponent under Gerrard''s snatch, Beckham controlled the ball, and England continued to attack!"


    The Czech team''s counterattack offensive suddenly dissipated!


    Br¨¹ckner instantly looked bloodless on the sidelines!


    At this point, life is hanging!


    The players of the Czech team are rushing forward, especially if there are too many players with strong offensive consciousness. This time, the defense is not only empty, but the England team''s ball control area can directly spur the lore attack!


    That''s right, Beckham stopped the ball, dialed the ball and started a long pass without wasting a second.


    A half-height arc passed to the penalty area of ??the Czech team.


    The Czech team had a lot of people when defending, but after Cech dropped the ball, the penalty area was empty!


    It is one of the habit of the defender to go up to the top, and the other is the other teammates running forward to participate in the offense. This leads to the confusion when the defender suddenly encounters the offensive threat of the opponent.


    There was a teammate by his side. When he rushed up, the area was empty.


    Beckham''s long pass is looking for someone!


    Wayne Rooney!


    Lu Xiaofan leaned in behind Bolv from the front of Ujfalusi, where Beckham''s pass fell.


    Lu Xiaofan, who first entered the penalty area, did not stop the ball. He couldn''t stop because he couldn''t reach it!


    So before the ball falls, think about how to deal with the ball.


    He stepped on the ground as a whole, posing in a volley shot, and his right foot was in perfect contact with the ball that was still in the air!


    The fans were shocked!


    boom!


    Shi Potian''s foot kicked into the air!


    The ball flew across a meteor-like line into the far post of the Czech team''s gate!


    Cech made a save this time, but it was too late, the ball speed was too fast, he did his best, but he could not change the ending of losing the ball.


    "Loud! Lore! Lore! Super Rooney, Super Rooney helped England to lore the Czech team! What a spectacular goal! 18-year-old Rooney completed one of the most exciting goals of the European Cup so far, no One of them, none of them! Beckham sent a wonderful assist, Rooney volley shot to open the goal guarded by Cech, 3:2, the game time has come to the 90th minute, the Czech team wants to tie the score again , Not without hope, but hope is very slim!"


    This goal has made all English fans in Dragon Stadium crazy!


    Four appearances, four goals, Super Rooney!


    Rooney didn''t show any expression after scoring a goal, yes, he was expressionless, got up from the ground and stood up, then ran to the corner flag area, opened his arms and closed his eyes.


    At this time, the sun sets, and another twilight scene. If you look down, Rooney, who has become the focus of the world, seems to be embracing the sunset that is sinking into the horizon with open arms.


    He has reason to feel depressed, and reason to make such an unprecedented celebration at this time.


    The goal was wonderful, plus he thought he had the ability to impact the Golden Boot, but Aldridge did not give him this opportunity, even so, three substitute appearances and scored 4 goals, a starter was ineffective, but the goal efficiency was amazing of.


    At this time, Rooney has some stubborn young people.


    You don''t give me a chance! I''ll grab it myself!


    I am going to the sky and vomiting the red sun!


    Today, he is only one shot short of Baros in the scorer list!


    The expressionless Rooney actually looks even more reckless!


    He was picked up by his teammates, but still maintained a posture of celebration action, this will be the moment of the freeze screen in the European Cup.


    Although the Czech team''s players are a bit unwilling, but before the time to give up, the game is not over, how can they give up!


    Aldridge also restrained the excitement, and while others were cheering and celebrating, he grabbed Phil Neville who rushed to the sidelines.


    Phil Neville''s smile quickly disappeared and became dignified. Aldrich said to him: "After the Czech team kicks off, wherever the ball is, you run to intercept it! Do you understand?"


    Phil Neville nodded fiercely, took off the bench shirt, and prepared to debut.


    Aldridge didn''t change center defender Carragher to play to mark the opponent''s high point. Instead, he wanted to add vitality to the midfield rush.


    The Czech team must have accumulated offensive players into the penalty area, but even if they have the right to kick-off, the forward will run forward, and it will take time to organize the offensive. It will also take time. In the process, if the England team moves backward, it will let the opponent forward Running in place, the players in the midfield and backcourt organized an offensive, then, the possibility that the Czech team will eventually equalize the score will be relatively higher.


    The reason is very simple, it is not that three guards marking two high centers will definitely win the game. There are many paradoxes on the court. The higher the ball is off the ground, the greater the probability. The high point is the high point. One point stands out and there are many people around. Marking is useless.


    Br¨¹ckner waved the Czech team forward to attack!


    Before Corina blew the whistle of the Czech team to kick off, the scene on the field was quite strange.


    In addition to the goalkeeper, the Czech team all stood in the parallel position of the center line. After the whistle of the referee, the four forwards, such as the wild horses, rushed forward, Nedved did not step forward, Smicer and Poboski went deep into the England team''s half to find a match, and the Czech team relied on Jankulovsky and Nedved, as well as two defenders.


    But the England team did not retreat.


    After Aldridge replaced Gerrard, Phil Neville and Rooney grabbed the ball in the frontcourt. Scholes and Hargreaves guarded the backline, ready to make up for the restricted area or rush up to support Bet on the field, Beckham and Lampard also point to point.


    The Czech team could not find the ground pass reception point in front, but could only pass the ball laterally in the back. Seeing that the time was running out, Poboski withdrew back. After taking the pass from Nedved, he risked The ball went to the penalty area of ??the England team.


    But perhaps because of the decline in physical fitness, this pass was a bit deep and was directly picked up by Robinson jumping in the small penalty area. At the same time, Robinson and Rockvinz collided and the two fell to the ground. Robinson never let the ball leave. Own arms.


    Kolina blew his whistle and signaled that the Czech team fouled the goalkeeper!


    Seeing the referee''s punishment, Aldridge sighed with relief, and Br¨¹ckner''s face turned sad.


    The general trend is gone.


    No chance.


    The England team took a set ball. When the opponent had no advantage but was still furiously rushing, Gary Neville passed the ball to Beckham. The latter took the ball along the side and waited for Yankulovsky to rush. After coming over, Beckham used his body to block the opponent, Yankulovsky broke the ball out of the sideline, and the ball was still at the feet of the England team.


    At this point, the injury stoppage time has run out, Corina did not wait for Beckham to take the sideline, directly blew the whistle at the end of the game!


    "The second semi-final of the European Cup is over! The England team defeated the Czech team 3:2 to advance to the final! Congratulations to the England team. They have created a new record for the European team of the national team. At the same time, they also feel sorry for the Czech team. The offensive football style and appreciation team, after today¡¯s game, left our sights. Although the Czech team lost, they can leave here with their heads raised, and they will be respected and admired by the world!"


    The players on the bench of the England team all stood up when the game entered the stoppage time. When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, they rushed into the field and frantically celebrated this victory.


    A historic victory.


    The England team reached the European Cup final for the first time!


    Whether they win the championship or not, they are the team with the strongest record in the history of the European Cup in England.


    Aldridge is not as excited as the others.


    Because the England team made it to the finals and made history, he didn''t care too much.


    He cares about championships, all he wants is championships.


    After a thrilling war, Aldridge bowed his head for three seconds, and when he lifted up, he sorted out his emotions and turned to Br¨¹ckner. After shaking hands with the other party solemnly, he walked into the field and walked towards The role that no one cares about.


    Corina.


    Aldridge knows that today is Corina''s "calling curtain game", so he deliberately sent blessings and appreciation in the first time after the game.


    The black law enforcement officer who will be selected for the "20 Football Changers" selected by UEFA will be respected and he is self-sufficient.


    He loves football, so he needs fairness. He needs to be fair when he participates in football.


    Aldridge walked in front of Corina. If Aldridge didn¡¯t look at Corina directly, he wouldn¡¯t notice that this man, who was actually ugly and weird, had a moist eyes.


    Aldrich reached out and shook hands with him, sincerely said: "You are the best referee in the world."


    After a simple sentence, Aldridge turned away and celebrated this hard-won victory with his team members.

 Chapter 1024： Towards a new history

    Another night came and another team said goodbye to the European Cup.


    Nedved left the Dragon Stadium with more regret than in 1996, because in 2004, he was like the sun now sinking into the horizon, not the rising sun rising 8 years ago.


    Kolina also left, and the ensemble of the international referee who set up an exemplary monument to the referee community is finally gone.


    Aldridge embraced every England player, everyone was very excited, but he was keenly aware that when embracing Rooney, Rooney seemed unwilling to say more to him, even if it was a icing on the cake, Unwilling to open his mouth.


    Emotional? Have a heart? stubborn?


    Aldridge can¡¯t manage that much, as long as Rooney doesn¡¯t break out of the team, now Aldridge¡¯s time is very urgent, and he should finish his talk, he is just trying to do his best job.


    In the post-match interview, the reporters had many questions about Rooney.


    Super Rooney is famous all over the world.


    "Wayne Rooney performed very well today, he met the expectations of the team, but he is still young, his future is very bright, I don¡¯t think it was wrong to let him play the bench before, the England team went to the final, every A player has a lot to contribute. We are a collective and a team. Everyone has their own roles and responsibilities. Trying to be the best, you can explode the most powerful fighting power."


    No matter Fleet Street, the media outside of England will always be fooled.


    Calling on Rooney to play the main role, the starting voice is endless.


    This already appeared during the group stage.


    However, Aldridge has never shaken the strategy of using Rooney. Rooney came off the bench to make an eye-catching performance. The better he played, the more determined Aldridge was to make his decision, which means that his idea is correct. On the contrary, if Rooney comes off the bench, Poor performance and a sluggish state will make Aldrich reflect on whether to change the use of Rooney.


    Rooney is an unfamiliar role for the UEFA world as a whole. He is only 18 years old, even if he had scored in the World Cup two years ago, but it was an insignificant game, and later scandals covered his green field. Shine.


    In the past two years, he has made a professional reputation in Everton, but he has not landed in Europe. He is a genius, but he is still an insignificant little role.


    It''s like Irving is a huge python in the eyes of his opponent. If he is a little careless, he will be bitten by Irving, and he will naturally be extremely vigilant. And Rooney, who underestimated him, thought he was an unremarkable little earthworm, but when Rooney broke out, his opponent was hit hard, and this was reflected. It turns out that this little earthworm is a cub! The initial attributes are amazing!


    England''s backhand ace is not much, it is similar to no, especially on the front line, if Aldridge does not hide his hand, I am afraid that the tactical changes will lack aggression.


    The reporters hope that Aldridge will look forward to the final.


    Aldrich has calmed down at this time and solemnly replied: "The England team has no time to celebrate this historic victory. Within 70 hours, we have to recover, to return to Lisbon, to rest, to prepare for the battle, and Portugal, we were waiting for the final opponent in Lisbon 24 hours earlier than us. We have to compete for time and seconds. There is no time for us to squander. In the final three days later, the goal is very clear. We do not want to leave regret after a long effort."


    After the post-match interview, Aldridge led his team back to the hotel to recover after the game.


    The work of the coaching staff is more serious than before, and even Jenson simply took a chair and sat on the stairs of the floor, and took turns to monitor the movement of the players with other coaches. In addition to preventing the players from getting too excited and going out to the hotel to have fun, there are also For the purpose of dealing with emergencies for the first time, in case a player is unwell, they will respond as quickly as possible.


    England advanced to the European Cup final.


    Countless people in England cheered and cheered. In addition to the rise in the reputation of the players, many media also called for the knighthood of these important players of the England international.


    Like the new captain Beckham, the low-key Scholes, and Southgate who withdrew from the national team due to injury and so on.


    Although the title will certainly not be the highest level as Aldridge, but at least can wear the title of SIR.


    The following day, the England team returned to Lisbon from Porto after a night of rest. The team returned to the hotel where they stayed in Lisbon. The team did not take a holiday and took the time to restore the team''s physical fitness.


    On this day, Aldridge also finalized the tactics against Portugal.


    Two years ago, the England team was monotonous, a set of anti-counterattack.


    Two years later, the England team showed more technical and tactical changes in the European Cup. The changes are unpredictable, stemming from the stability and tacit understanding of the team and the continuation of tactical consistency.


    After spending a quiet day, the England team had a new look in the spirit of the team the day before the final, and it seemed full of spirit and full of desire to fight.


    At the pre-match preparation meeting, Aldridge announced the starting list. In the conference room, the originally calm-looking Rooney suddenly surprised.


    Starting!


    Aldridge placed Rooney in the starting lineup and Irving came off the bench!


    Rooney felt weird. He thought he had to sit on the bench for 70-80 minutes or even 90 minutes. Unexpectedly, the last final, Aldridge gave him a starter!


    Irving looks as usual, without any change.


    Of the England team¡¯s physical fitness tracking tests, Irving was the worst.


    In addition to the fact that his appearances in Liverpool were not low last season, another fatal factor is that he is 24 years old. His physique is obviously inferior to other players of the same age. This is a hidden danger of overwork and cannot be changed in the short term. It is not a three-day break, a week, or even a month can improve.


    Since he started playing for Liverpool at the age of 17, between the ages of 17-24, he played more than 40 times in various events each season. This kind of long-term lack of rest and the pre-career trajectory that did not focus on strengthening physical fitness during the same period led to When it came to the golden age of players, Owen''s physique was far inferior to those of reasonable training, and he was faintly developing in the direction of the glass man.


    Some glass people are born with weak bodies.


    Some are not.


    However, whether it is born or not, through reasonable acquired training, strengthening the body can improve, reduce the probability of injury, and better extend the career life.


    This is why Aldridge is more cautious and progressive in using young players in Millwall. Protecting players is an important consideration.


    Of course, because of Ronaldo''s family, because of his family, he has been playing hard since he was a child, forcing himself to be stronger. Others will relax even if they have been playing since childhood, but he still spends his time exercising and playing skills. Physical fitness is stronger than others, and it is normal. You know, before Ronaldo was born, her mother almost chose abortion because of family constraints. It can be imagined that Ronaldo could not keep up with nutrition in the earliest period. , But he worked tirelessly and worked hard to create a steely body and will.


    Because of this, other players are just right to recover from a game of fatigue within three days. For example, Lampard has no problems, and Beckham is also the same, but Owen is much worse.


    Irving understands that Aldridge put him on the bench. In the past few years, the national team has assembled. Odridge occasionally talked about this topic when he privately communicated with Owen. I hope he can rest more in the club. Irving understands Aldridge''s hardship, but it is difficult to change anything. The club let him play, did he say to the coach: I want to rest, not playing today.


    Moreover, he is still a young man with vigorous energy. When he is over-consumed, he can''t realize it, and he can''t remedy it when he has a hard time.


    This is like the Chinese medicine said, the illness comes like a mountain collapse, and the illness goes like silk.


    At this moment, the whole England team is united, and their thoughts are unified.


    No one still cares what style the team plays, and no one still thinks about how to make themselves more eye-catching.


    There is only one goal for everyone: Champion!


    As long as you can win the championship, any way!


    So Aldridge¡¯s pre-game preparations will be very smooth today, no players asked, Aldridge did not devise any new tactics in tactics, just ask, the players can understand, and then keep in mind, there are almost 24 Hours to digest, go all out for the game tomorrow.


    Arriving in the press room of the pre-match press conference, Aldridge confronted the reporters with a serious look waiting for questions.


    A reporter first asked: "If you can lead the England team to the European Cup, Sir Hall, you will add another very important championship record to your honor book, which will make you an unprecedented football coach?"


    of course!


    However, Aldridge did not change his face and said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow''s game is the England team to fight for collective honor. The essence of football is: without a team, you have nothing. So, I hope your question is: if Tomorrow England can beat Portugal to win the championship. What does this championship mean for England?"


    The questioning reporter smiled and asked, "Can you answer?"


    "That will be the first time in the history of England to win the European Cup. It is a historic day for fans in England all over the world. Naturally, it also has a special meaning for the England national team and the nation of England. But I hope now Players don¡¯t think about it before the game ends, Portugal has a strong lineup, and they are playing at home. The English team wants to make history here, it is very difficult, very big!"


    England will work hard to make history.


    Isn''t Portugal not?


    In terms of fighting desire and will, no one of the two teams has an advantage. It is not because the England team has not won the European Cup. It is full of ambition, and the subjective fighting spirit and will are stronger than Portugal.


    On the contrary, Portugal has the advantage of playing at home and has one more day off than England. Portugal will have an advantage over England.

 Chapter 1025： History gives reference

    Portugal is definitely not a football powerhouse in the world.


    They will always produce a handful of talented players at different times, but they are not enough to support a very luxurious and competitive national team.


    Take the World Cup results as an example. In 70% of World Cup competitions, they either did not participate or were eliminated directly in the qualifiers. The best result is the semi-finals in 66 years. After that, the second best result is the stop group game.


    For a country with a population of only about 10 million, the number of football population also determines its stable strength grade. As for those smaller countries that have suddenly achieved good results, it is an accidental outbreak and does not have the meaning of overall strength positioning.


    The competition in the European Cup is smaller than in the World Cup. Even so, before the golden generation represented by Figo turned out, Portugal also performed poorly in the European Cup. Most of the time, the qualifiers did not qualify until the golden generation After the start of the beam, the record stabilized. Eight years ago, the quarter-finals were blocked. The dark horse Czech team was blocked by the semi-finals. The semi-finals were stopped four years ago. They were beaten by the final champion French team in overtime. 4 years Later, Portugal also created the history of its national football national team. They reached the finals. Whether they succeed or fail, this will be the new ranking record of the Portuguese national team in the European Cup.


    After three weeks of fighting, the European Cup finally came to the final battle of the event, which is also the pinnacle.


    Fans from England and Portugal flocked to Lisbon¡¯s Bright Stadium.


    Numerous fans gathered in front of bars, squares, and televisions across the land of Portugal and England, and many people looked forward to the war.


    The Stadium of Lights in Lisbon is in the process of ending the event. The entertainment program before the finals is uninterested. This does not allow the fans of both sides to decompress. They are waiting for their team to make history.


    Aldrich appeared early on the court, sitting on the coach seat waiting for the game to begin.


    In the stands behind him, countless England fans cheered his name.


    In the VIP box of the stadium, his family was watching him.


    At the moment, Aldrich said it was deceiving not to be nervous. At least, a very honourable championship trophy can be tentacled in time, and no one will be upset.


    Perhaps it is for this reason that he did not go to the locker room to communicate with the team, such as nervousness, and he was afraid that he could not help nagging the arrangements before the game repeatedly, so that it would not be of any benefit to the team.


    When Scolari walked into the stadium, Aldridge got up and shook hands with each other.


    Two years ago, when the two met in the semi-finals of the World Cup, Scolari lost his breath, and resentment!


    And he always thinks that the Brazil team is just lacking luck, not how strong England is, it is God who is not on the side of the Brazil team.


    Two years later, the old man reunited and was in the final of the European Cup. This scene is more attractive than what Aldridge and Mourinho met in the UEFA Champions League final after the UEFA Cup final. Focusing on the meeting between the two head coaches, shaking hands, taking photos and flashing lights have never stopped.


    There was nothing to greet the two of them. The court etiquette shook hands and patted each other''s arms before turning their heads away, looking as usual.


    But secretly the mood swings are not known.


    Scolari has led Portugal to create a new history, but to let this history be remembered and appear extremely brilliant, obviously only one step away, the European Cup won the championship!


    At the same time, there is indeed the idea of ??"a shame before snow" in his heart.


    History will only remember the winner.


    After two years of rushing, people will mention the 3R combination that is prestigious in the 2002 World Cup, but most of the time will be used to set off the waves of England¡¯s last minute golden ball lore. When the neutrals sigh, they will not say Brazil. Poor performance, the team''s strength is there, it will naturally rise to the fight between the head coach, Brazil''s defeat, Scolari lost to Aldridge.


    The old men reunited in the European Cup, and the two armies faced each other again. England is in full swing. Scolari is no longer headed by the Brazil team, but the fight two years ago was mentioned again in the last two days, as if Scolari had unveiled Scars, painful memories came to mind, and the pain that should have been forgotten was faintly increased.


    Aldridge''s mentality is relatively peaceful, he will be a strong man, but he rarely falls down after the victory. Therefore, he acts as a strong man and acts in the style of a strong man: forgetting his opponent.


    There are countless people who lose to him, he will not always be on his mind, and even when he fights again, he will dilute the past victory, because in the football game, each game is independent and does not have the continuity of advantages and disadvantages. , Indulging in the glory of the past has no benefit to the present and the future.


    In the full stadium of Lisbon, more than 60,000 pairs of eyes were watching the lineup of England and Portugal. Under the leadership of German referee Merck, the players of the two teams walked into the field with their heads up and launched the final toward the highest honor in Europe. Impact.


    "The European Cup in 2004 has finally come to the final finale battle! Today will be a day remembered in the history of football, not only will the championship of this competition be born, but also a championship that has never been in the history of the European Cup! Portugal and England have never won the championship in the European Cup, this is the first time the two teams reached the finals! The two teams have the same record, in the previous 5 games, 4 wins and 1 loss, the two teams in this competition There are unforgettable performances in Portugal. Portugal defeated Spain, a strong team like the Netherlands, England defeated the defending champion France, and a strong enemy like the Czech team. So these two teams reached the finals. Destiny!"


    Ten years later, if people mention the Czech Republic and the Netherlands, they must think that the Netherlands is stronger, but in 2004, most fans will not think that the Netherlands is stronger than the Czech Republic. The Czech team qualifiers against the Netherlands are a win and a draw, and the group stage is divided with the Netherlands. Together, a shocking reversal became the classic battle of this competition, Portugal''s road to promotion is to open low and go high, the England team played a few gold-rich games, squeezed the French team out of the knockout, and perfectly defeated the Greek team. In the end, the Czech team, the England team''s rich and varied style and tactics, also became their highlights.


    "Let''s take a look at the double-starter list.


    Portuguese team 4231.


    Goalkeeper: Ricardo.


    Guards: Miguel, Carvalho, Andrade, Valente.


    Midfielders: Maniche, Costinha, Deco, Figo, C Ronaldo.


    Forward: Pauletta.


    England 442.


    Goalkeeper: Robinson.


    Defenders: Gary Neville, Campbell, Terry, Ashley Cole.


    Midfielders: Beckham, Hargreaves, Scholes, Lampard.


    Forwards: Gerald, Rooney.


    What is more surprising is that England''s starting striker, the main Irving was placed on the bench, 18-year-old talented teenager Wayne Rooney debuted in the final, perhaps he was the last substitute to kill the Czech team, Sir Hall looked at him differently, so he was listed as a positive choice as a reward.


    Two super bright stars in this competition are on the court, Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal and Wayne Rooney of England. Interestingly, both are players of the Premier League giant Millwall. After the selection of the best lineup, the fans circulated the saying of "the best half-team out of the crazy lion". Now that Millwall''s supernova is shining on the top stage of the European Cup, it is not surprising. "


    After seeing Portugal''s starting lineup, Aldridge calmed down, and his tension was gone.


    The most critical point he focused on was Deco.


    The word unity is easy to say, but it is actually too difficult. Every family has a hard-to-read experience. The more powerful the team, the more so.


    The fame and fortune of the small team is not important. It is easier for a group of cockroaches to join forces to unite the world. Everyone does not have the capital to think about it, but the strong team is different. When the leaves are green, the awareness required is too high.


    Portugal has a similar problem to England. Rooney wants to play the main role, there must be pimples in his heart, but what can Aldridge do? He couldn''t figure it out himself, and Aldridge couldn''t change anything by fraying his lips.


    The Portuguese problem stems from Deco.


    He is a Brazilian, and he chose to play for Portugal after acquiring Portuguese citizenship. So, a familiar master figure gradually disappeared from our vision.


    Rui Costa.


    Regardless of Figo¡¯s ever expressed disapproval of Deco, or Rui Costa and Deco¡¯s eyebrows, Scolari still insisted on using the Brazilian fellow, depriving Rui Costa of the main position, Deco¡¯s performance is obvious to all, It''s not very good, but at least people can''t fault it.


    Figo, Cristiano Ronaldo and Pauletta are all foreseeable absolute starters of Portugal.


    But Deco is still Rui Costa, Audric will be afraid of Scolari suddenly starting cold Rui Rui to start.


    The reason is that Deco''s passing creativity is not as good as Rui Costa, although other aspects, such as defense, physical fitness, and motivation, are worse than Rui Costa.


    But Decobiru Costa is excellent and may not necessarily have an absolute advantage in front of the English players.


    On the contrary, Rui Costa''s magical pass and the ability to scalpel the ball to tear the opponent''s defense line are absolutely taboo for the England team!


    How did he fight Portugal, Aldridge did not think too much complicated things.


    History gave him reference.


    The Greek team told him how to play Portugal.


    Anti-reverse!


    The Greek team defeated Portugal with anti-reverse, twice!


    England''s counterattack strength will be stronger than Greece, and they will not be unfamiliar with this technical and tactical play, the World Cup is obtained by anti-anti.


    So aside from the style, the characteristics of personal coaching, and the complicated thoughts, Aldridge does not need to think hard, think about what tactics to use to deal with Portugal, why not go far?


    Moreover, he no longer needs to prove anything.


    He just came to rob the trophy, the way it is used is no longer important.


    After the group photo of the finals of the two teams ended, the game officially began.


    When Scolari watched the game for 5 minutes, his face instantly became very ugly.


    Male Gobi.


    Aldridge.


    Why the **** are you fighting back?


    At the beginning of the game, the rhythm was not fast. When Portugal controlled the ball and attacked, the English team retracted to the half.


    Although the narrator said that the England team played 442, they actually returned to their 433.


    Beckham and Lampard dragged their positions and split into two sides of Hargreaves. Scholes was in the center-forward position, with Gerard and Rooney in front of the right.


    Compared with the same tactics two years ago, the England team''s defense is stronger, because Gerrard is stronger than McManaman''s defense, and Rooney is also more harassing and defensive than Owen on the defensive.


    Portugal''s strength is the wing.


    Cristiano Ronaldo and Figo have no distinction, and they can change places at any time.


    But what if they have a strong wing?


    It''s not about returning to the original question. Offensive, the wing is only auxiliary. It is the middle road that decides the game, either in the restricted area or outside the restricted area. The threat of the middle road is much higher than the side road.


    It just happens that Scolari has a tactical failure, which is the deadliest factor in Portugal''s most fearful defense.


    Pauletta played a single forward.


    The best striker in Ligue 1 is the second forward and the shadow forward.


    Single center, he is difficult to have room to play.


    It is not that he is not strong, it is that he is not playing the most powerful role.


    Therefore, Portugal''s persistent illness is "weak front".


    This is not a player''s personal ability, just like Gerald can play a second forward, but if you put Gerald in the center position, the effect will be greatly reduced, and you can only make limited responses and score against the goal? It''s simply impossible to have high efficiency, because he is the opponent''s first marking target, and it is difficult to achieve under the tight package defense.


    This is the case of Pauletta. Someone on the front line is involved in him to attract defense. He can release a huge threat, but it is very difficult to rely on him alone.


    Originally, Figo and Ronaldo tended to be on the sidelines. Ronalce¡¯s threat was higher than that of Figo, but this was not enough. England contracted backwards. Portugal needs to activate more offensive points. Candidates.


    Deco''s speed is relatively stable, and the explosive power is insufficient. The first threat after his plug is not fatal. He still prefers to play in a large range in the midfield instead of rushing to the front line.


    Therefore, Aldridge is even more afraid of Rui Costa¡¯s starting. Since they are all passing, the characters who pass the deadly threat are naturally more effective. At least Pauletta¡¯s cover for Cristiano Ronaldo, the delivery of the deadly threat ball will make England Afraid.


    After the opening, the focus of Portugal was Figo, who seemed somewhat "independent".


    Frequent breakthroughs on the wing, most of the time sticking the ball, this is understandable. Today in Portugal, the absolute big brother is him, everyone else should be his green leaf, even Ronaldo is no exception.


    His breakthrough is not bad, but the England team compresses the space in the danger zone. As long as he is not alone to cross the two defense lines, he basically only passes outside, and there is not much threat.


    Instead, the England team formed a golden opportunity to score in the 7th minute after the opening!

 Chapter 1026： Will you cooperate?

    The England team is always strong in the midfield, especially since the national team lineup has not changed much in recent years. The national team games are basically the same main lineup. Everyone cooperates very well.


    Portugal''s pressure is not excessive, but it is not as fast as the England team''s forward explosion in the speed of defense.


    In the 7th minute of the game, Hargreaves grabbed the ball from Deco''s feet, quickly launched a counterattack, and gave the ball to Beckham, who was running forward.


    Ronaldo''s side, Beckham didn''t pull it. Beckham protected the inside line in front of the penalty area in a parallel position, so Beckham ran forward. If Ronaldo chased back, the distance was farther away, but if Ronaldo wanted to cut inward If so, Beckham can block him.


    Beckham drew the ball forward and encountered Maniche¡¯s upswing. He quickly distributed the ball to Scholes, who followed up. Then Beckham stopped and stopped stepping forward. How to fight back, they closed their eyes. all know.


    Beckham''s lack of advancement was to stabilize the defense, and it was Lampard who rushed up the other side.


    Lampard moved forward quickly, almost parallel to Scholes'' position with the ball forward.


    Scholes passed the ball diagonally to the front right in front of Costinha. Gerrard got the ball on the right in front of the penalty area and took a step and crossed!


    Costinha turned around and saw the ball rolling in front of him. Lampard pressed the middle of the penalty area from beside him. While touching the ball, Carvalho and Andrade came up one after the other. Rooney ran diagonally through the two centre-backs and Lampard''s straight stop came as scheduled.


    Carvalho raised his hand to signal Rooney''s offside, but the lineman said nothing.


    After Rooney was behind Andrade, Valent got the ball by his side and defended the ball firmly against the goal through physical confrontation, which can be regarded as a single-handed ball!


    All England fans are ready to cheer, but Rooney kicks the ball on the side net!


    It looks as if it has been scored, but everyone will react in the next second, and the ball is not scored!


    Rooney is obviously irritable, even if Adrich is far away, he can see that the chance of a single-shot ball is very few. The striker will vigorously blast the door, calmly choose to push the angle or volley moderately. However, the ball shot by Rooney is powerful, not impossible. The effect of a confident striker is to make the goalkeeper desperate, but the deviation from the goal occurs, only to say that he is not calm enough.


    "The England team missed a great opportunity! Wayne Rooney wasted a good pass from Lampard! Portugal has to be careful. Today the England team obviously wants to defeat them with a defensive counterattack. Of course, as the game develops, Sir Hall will adjust England''s tactics."


    Rooney was so angry after missing this opportunity that he wanted to score.


    As long as he scores another goal, he will tie Barrosh''s goal numbers, while ranking first in the scorer list by scoring efficiency.


    Portugal escaped, Scolari wanted Portugal to be more conservative, but this is not the technical and tactical style that Portugal is good at. At the same time, due to local combat, the high fighting spirit of the players will affect them to shape the game situation. In other words, in front of his father and father in his hometown, Portugal was reluctant to take it back as England did, and was passively beaten and waiting for a sneak attack.


    Aldridge stood calmly on the sidelines, calmly making him feel like he was in the chest.


    At this moment, he suddenly realized that the two opponents faced by the England playoffs were too crucial.


    They faced both the extreme defense of Greece and the Czech team where the offensive points are everywhere.


    Two opponents with extreme styles, they both met and defeated their opponents, which is not only important for the team''s confidence, but also the team''s reading ability in the game has been further improved!


    Portugal is better defended than Greece and attacked better than Czech.


    They do not have the offensive points that bloom like the Czech team, and the cooperation is smooth and tacit, especially the team cooperation, the team coordination makes the ball transfer fast, the game rhythm is fast, Cristiano Ronaldo and Figo of Portugal, the dribbling speed is fast, too fast to upload the ball ? Although individual breakthroughs are sometimes more efficient than the team''s pass, the England team has compressed the space in the danger zone and curbed the opponent''s advantage in this regard.


    In a final word, Portugal lacks a hidden offensive point, who should be guarded, who is staring to death, at a glance!


    Although England has so few familiar faces to fight back, but they have the space to pass, which is the natural advantage of the attack.


    Portugal passed to the penalty area to find opportunities. Neither Pauletta playing center nor C Ronaldo who entered the penalty area failed to create a threat under the close attention of the England team. They played long shots in the periphery or were blocked Out, or deviate from the goal, unless there is a world wave, otherwise it is more difficult to threaten the goal of the England team.


    Aldridge''s mentality is stable, his opponent is not Scolari, just God.


    If God made Portugal kick a world wave and changed the game, then he has nothing to say.


    As far as Scolari¡¯s platoon formation is concerned, Aldridge doesn¡¯t think there is a change that can disrupt his deployment and thinking, even if Rui Costa really plays, or Portugal weakens the midfielder. A striker to activate Pauletta, Aldridge will be at a loss at best, but he will not be surprised, because what the opponent can do, has been conceived in his preparation.


    The England team''s counterattack is very threatening. It can quickly and smoothly attack the Portuguese half and create an opportunity before the penalty area.


    However, Rooney''s play is not ideal.


    "Carvalho stole the ball successfully! Rooney failed to pass the ball over Carvalho. Beckham ran back and reached out to signal that Rooney should just pass him the ball."


    Aldridge tried to give Rooney a gesture to make him pay more attention to cooperate with his surrounding teammates. In fact, the England team''s anti-reverse, after hitting the forefront, once the opponent''s defense is torn open, the more threatening thing is to follow up after two points. The players on the team, Scholes, Lampard, Beckham, Gerrard, are all more threatening than Rooney, and it is only reasonable for the arrow forward to complete the shot when it is approximately single-handed.


    Rooney did not look at Aldridge. Even if Aldridge shouted a few words, he still could not get any response.


    Aldridge did not continue to try, hoping that Rooney could adjust itself.


    Throughout the first half, Portugal did not play an offensive attack that surprised Aldridge. He couldn''t get in the penalty area. He shot long from outside and was inefficient in passing. Only corner kicks and free kicks might make people feel slightly trembling.


    Portugal is not good at breaking through intensive defense. On the one hand, it is due to its strength. On the other hand, it is also related to the opponents they encountered. The group match is planted at the foot of Greece. The second game is against Russia. Since Russia must attack to score in order to qualify, Russia is on the scene. It is meaningless to learn the ultimate defense of Greece. In the last game, Spain itself was one of the representatives of the offensive football, playing Croatia in the knockout, and later playing the Netherlands, opponents encountered in Portugal will give them a certain amount of offensive space, especially individuals The only room to play was Greece, and then it was planted.


    Although the England team does not use a 5 defender like Greece, their overall strength is stronger. The defensive strength of the entire back line and the lower back is higher than that of the Greek team. The offensive is also stronger than Greece. If not the same The tactics are not yet comparable, but England won the World Cup by counterattack. The counterattack threat is very intuitive.


    The outside world described this as a pinnacle battle, after all, it was the final.


    But in the eyes of Aldrich, this is not the two strongest teams have reached the final battlefield.


    Just as in Japan two years ago, the England team luckily defeated the strongest Brazil team. It was Germany that met with them in the final. The England team won not be easy, but it was not difficult.


    The situation today is similar.


    Greece, which has the strongest anti-countermeasures, and the Czech Republic, which has the strongest offensive, have been eliminated by the England team. Portugal, which has not highlighted the strong side, has not caused much trouble for the England team.


    But the first half was still 0:0.


    As he walked into the player''s tunnel, Aldridge''s face was not pretty.


    The England team has a solid defense and a smooth offense, but only after the attack has advanced to the forefront, everything becomes very bad.


    After Rooney missed the golden opportunity, the ball lost its changing color under his feet.


    When he had a chance, he shot. Without a chance, he broke through. In the last 10 minutes, Carvalho and Andrade, in case he was a piece of cake, didn''t waste any effort.


    On the way back to the dressing room, Beckham was communicating with Rooney. Rooney just nodded and did not speak.


    Fleet Street sometimes "provokes".


    After Rooney scored twice in the second game, there was a media cover of Beckham''s celebration with Rooney as the cover, saying that Beckham was jealous and Rooney was jealous!


    It seems that Rooney snatched Beckham''s "England darling" position.


    For pure football, Beckham may not be perfect, but in this regard, Aldridge can pack tickets, jealous or something, will not appear on Beckham, because his role on the court is to make a wedding dress for others If he is jealous, why would he go to Real Madrid? Doesn''t that make him more uncomfortable?


    Beckham is not a striker, but he has also played for more than ten years. Under Aldridge, he has been in this national team for nearly four years. What kind of attack does the team need to play and what kind of routine should the offense change? , But everyone who has a little quotient knows.


    Beckham is trying to make Rooney calmly deal with the ball, vaguely telling him not to squander the team''s hard-won opportunities.


    Beckham''s words may be very tactful.


    However, Aldridge was less polite.


    Closing the locker room door, Aldridge walked straight to Rooney. In silence, Aldridge looked down at Rooney. When he raised his head, Aldridge said coldly, "You will cooperate with your teammates." Answer me."


    Rooney dared not to look directly at Aldridge''s eyes and nodded.


    "Look at my eyes and tell me aloud."


    Rooney raised his head again, took a deep breath, and said loudly, "Boss, I will!"


    His tone was a little irritable, and it seemed that Aldridge made him lose face now.


    After all, the teammates around were watching him.


    "Very good, I hope to see you perform better in the second half."

 Chapter 1027： hero

    Rooney wants to be a hero.


    No player does not want to be a hero in the game.


    11 people have the opportunity, plus the bench, 14 possibilities.


    But heroes are often born at random, not deliberately played. One of the charms of football as a team sport is this. Some people will be expected to be heroes, and as a result they will become sinners, and some people will be considered as sinners. But it can complete self-redemption and even become a hero.


    Young players lack experience, the more they focus on self-expression, the less likely they are to become heroes and go to the other extreme: sinners!


    If Alan Smith played the striker in the first half, Aldridge would accept the result very calmly, but not Smith, Rooney, Rooney is fully capable of doing better, he can do better, but he did not do To.


    As soon as the second half came up, Rooney''s performance improved slightly. He sent Gerard a good pass. Gerrard was disturbed by Andrade in the penalty area and the ball was missed. Audric gave Rooney applause.


    However, after 10 minutes, Rooney missed another golden opportunity. Beckham passed the side pass, and Rooney rushed to the back point to **** the chance. The opportunity wasted and the header was missed.


    There was an uproar at the scene, English fans lamented the opportunity, and Portuguese fans were fortunate enough to die.


    "England''s counterattack is very threatening. Portugal''s offensive end is becoming more and more impatient. After being intercepted by the England midfielder, he quickly mobilized a wave of threats. Unfortunately, Rooney failed to put the ball into the goal. The 18-year-old genius Juvenile, today looks a bit nervous, and his performance has dropped significantly."


    Scolari has made Portugal pay more attention to defense in the intermission, but after attacking in the midfield, the team still lacks the containment of the England team''s quick counterattack.


    To prevent the opponent from hitting the ball behind, the defender line is about to retreat, then the midfield is broken down by the England team. If the defender line premises, then you must be alert to a straight pass from behind, especially if the midfield line is retreated, the Portuguese attacking player in the frontcourt With the England team closely guarded, there will obviously be a lack of support from behind.


    Aldrich was able to see that Rooney had lost the power of the soldiers.


    The reason is also very simple. After the victory over the Czech Republic, Rooney''s exposure is too high, there were not many good forwards in England, and Portugal will not ignore Rooney no matter how careless it is.


    Coming to the final, targeted research on opponents will definitely be more rigorous.


    Every opponent on the field should not be underestimated.


    In other words, in this final, the England team can tactically knock down their opponents, but it is never possible to knock them down technically!


    Vice versa, Portugal wants to defeat England by virtue of the individual players in the lineup. It is also impossible. After all, the threat value of each player will be vigilant in the eyes of England.


    Rooney was nervous and impatient in the finals for various reasons, which has affected his technical ability.


    After missing the header and attacking the goal, he kicked directly on the goal post to vent his depression.


    Aldridge chose a substitution. In the 61st minute of the game, when Portugal took a corner kick, the England team made a sideline substitution.


    Rooney looked at the substitution number played by the fourth official on the sideline.


    His teammate, Irving stood on the sidelines waiting for his end.


    Rooney''s expression suppressed dissatisfaction and anger. In this final, he started, but he didn''t score.


    As long as he scores a goal, he will become the best scorer in the European Cup!


    Golden boots, fly!


    Rooney lowered his head and walked off the court without making a substitution with Owen. As he walked to the bench, Aldridge reached out and wanted to pat Rooney on the shoulder as an encouragement.


    However, a scene that shocked Aldridge appeared.


    Rooney raised his hand and opened Aldridge''s arm!


    Aldridge''s pupils shrunk, his expression suddenly changed, and he was frosty.


    Maybe fans all over the world saw this scene through live broadcast, even if it was not there at the time, it will be played back by the live broadcaster in the back game.


    Aldrich turned to look at Rooney with his head down, and sneered in a cold voice: "What the **** are you doing? What are you dissatisfied with? The team reached the finals, the first in the history of impacting England. A European Championship trophy, do you know what you are doing?"


    Rooney turned his head, and he regretted it after doing the action just now. He didn¡¯t want to make things big, but he still couldn¡¯t hold back when he faced Aldridge¡¯s stern expression, shaking his head as if he was wronged. The expression said: "If you don''t trust me, don''t take me to the European Cup!"


    Aldrich restrained his anger.


    Do not trust?


    Yes, if he does not trust, he will not bring Rooney to the European Cup.


    If he didn''t trust, he wouldn''t speak to Rooney many times and make clear why he was arranged for the bench.


    If you do not trust, you will not be replaced by Rooney when you need someone to stand up in the Czech Republic.


    If he does not trust, he will not even send him in the finals!


    It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t trust you!


    It''s you again and again that disappoints Lao Tzu!


    This 60-minute poor performance directly squandered two golden opportunities.


    Even world-class superstars dare not complain about Aldridge when they are replaced!


    Bad performance, bad performance, but still straightforward?


    Aldridge walked in front of Jenson and stopped looking at Rooney. He whispered to Jenson: "Take him back to the locker room. Before the game is over, I don''t want to see him again and let him calm down."


    As soon as Aldridge''s words fell, Rooney stood up from the bench and walked straight into the player''s tunnel.


    When he was wronged and dissatisfied, he did not know how many eyes on the English bench looked at Rooney full of complexity.


    Wayne Rooney, you are only 18 years old.


    England''s substitute, who can play under the bench, understands Rooney but has no sympathy for him.


    Understanding is because Rooney has the hope to impact personal honor, and has also become a new golden boy to replace Irving. Irving became famous when he was 18 years old. Rooney is 18 years old and has become famous in the European Cup.


    It''s just that his ambition is too big to seem to be above the team.


    Perhaps he will become a big-name superstar in the future, but he is not, so he has no capital to complain and is not worthy of sympathy.


    Portugal nearly scored a goal through this corner attack.


    Ronaldo actively ran away from the player who marked him in the penalty area, then flicked the ball at a small angle to attack the goal, only to hear a bang, the ball hit the crossbar and the bottom line was popped.


    Ronaldo, who was kneeling on the ground with a shocked expression, felt very sorry. Almost, he would become a Portuguese hero.


    Scolari also concealed his hands on the side of the court, showing a very disappointed look. If the ball can be scored, Portugal will immediately change the style of play, no longer attack, and defend the counterattack.


    Aldridge''s heart swayed and his emotions were very complicated, but he tried to keep all his thoughts on the court and focus on the game.


    Irving''s physical fitness may not be able to insist on the full game, but at the moment, he is still full of energy.


    The tactical role brought by Irving is also very obvious.


    His speed brought pressure on the deep offensive line, and the Portuguese defender had to retreat, but Owen''s clever running position was to bring the depth forward first, and then turn back to catch the ball in the space created, and Teammates played with cooperation, so that the offense can continue steadily at the forefront.


    Portugal strengthened its defense in the second half, the back line contraction was tight, and the speed of the middle was not enough.


    Aldrich gestured to Scholes on the sidelines, allowing him to put pressure on the opponent''s backline and put pressure on the ball. By constantly shifting the ball, he tore the opponent''s back line and forced the opponent to expose himself.


    In the 73rd minute, Figo was cleared by Campbell''s header in the side pass. Gary Neville controlled the outside landing and passed the ball diagonally to Lampard, who then passed the ball back to Scholes.


    Scholes ran off Deco and drove the ball to the frontcourt.


    At this time, Beckham and Lampard were on top, together with Gerald and Owen in front, the England team 5VS6.


    The ball came to the front waistline and passed to Lampard. The latter split the ball in the middle and long distance. Beckham took the ball to the bottom line on the right and did not cut inwards, which would only make the opponent shrink the penalty area more. Defense.


    Beckham attracted Valent out to defend, and then passed the ball to Gerrard who ran over the back line to respond.


    Gerrard still hit the ball, and then passed the ball back to Scholes, who didn''t insert the front edge. Before Maniche and Costinha turned around, the **** head quickly came out. The ball passed to Owen, who was pressed to the left of the back line.


    Behind Irving is Carvalho. He does not plan to turn around this ball and gently knocks the ball towards the middle!


    The Portuguese defender line was shocked, Carvalho was attracted by Irving, and Andrade focused mainly on Gerrard. When Lampard quickly inserted into the middle, Maniche and Costinha realized, but Previously, attention was on Scholes. Lampard''s running position from the outside, plus Gerard, Scholes, and Irving, three consecutive shots, this coordination is too fast. , It wasn¡¯t until they turned around in the same place that they reacted. It¡¯s hard to guard Lampard!


    Lampard is like a sharp knife inserted into the penalty area of ??Portugal, and the speed of the ball is straightened into the penalty area. This ball he handled the ball very well. If the trip is big, the golden opportunity will no longer exist!


    After the formation of a single-pole trend, Lampard faced Portuguese goalkeeper Ricardo. The shooting angle was similar to a penalty kick. Lampard pulled the ball to the bottom left corner of the goal. Even though Ricardo predicted correctly, the angle was too close. But he couldn''t save it and watched the ball enter the goal!


    Lisbon''s bright stadium, the dawn of Portugal''s championship suddenly dim!


    Many people were boiling, many English fans took off their clothes in the stands, and female fans also showed **** underwear to cheer Lampard.


    Lampard roared when he rushed to the sidelines, and was then overwhelmed by the players of the English team in the corner area. Many players on the bench also rushed over there. Aldridge also joined the rushing team as if Frustrated, his arms waved happily and rushed there.

 Chapter 1028： Perfect, there are two kinds of coaches

    "The England team scored a goal! Irving showed a good competitive state after playing. He sent Lampard a wonderful assist. The entire offensive process of the England counterattack this time was extremely smooth and the ball was quick. Concise and clear in purpose, several players in the frontcourt quickly moved the ball from the right to the middle. Owen gently made the ball to Lampard who inserted it back. The Lampard who entered the penalty area has no one to block it! Calm volley put the ball into the gate of Portugal, Ricardo had no way, no way! We saw that the English coach Sir Hall also rushed to the players to participate in the celebration, he knew better than anyone, the England team With the Portuguese team, whoever advances the ball will almost lock the victory!"


    Originally England had a chance to kill Portugal today, making the situation very comfortable, but Rooney did not seize the opportunity and let the situation go as it is now.


    In the future, when the physical fitness of both sides declines, the probability of losing control of the game is higher. It is difficult to be scored by Portugal, and England wants to make a comeback, which is really difficult.


    Fortunately, at the critical point of 70 minutes, Lampard scored!


    In the cheers of countless England fans on the scene, Aldridge rushed to the corner flag area, where Rohan has been stacked, Aldridge did not jump up like a player, he was really afraid of a big oolong: What if the player is crushed?


    So he just rushed forward, hugged Beckham with one hand, hugged Scholes with one hand, and then looked down, trying to find Lampard''s figure from under Gerald, Hargreaves and others.


    The players climbed up one after another, Aldridge did not need to deliberately reiterate the tactics, nor did he need to change anything, continue to play anti-anti!


    Scolari''s face was very green, and Portuguese players looked dignified.


    The game time is getting less and less, and there is not much time left for them to make a comeback.


    After the game restarted, Scolari ordered the team to oppress, and the full-backs also increased their assists.


    Aldridge was on the sidelines to make the team focus on every opportunity to switch from defense to offense!


    In the 81st minute, Valent assisted, Ronalce restricted area, but Valent failed to pass the ball to Ronaldo''s foot. When Beckham pressed, Valent took a step towards the bottom line, Gary. Neville successfully grabbed the right time!


    C Ronaldo was too sorry to immediately grab the ball under Neville''s foot, but Neville kicked the ball forward with a big foot.


    In front of the road on the right, it was not Beckham, but Gerrard by Labian.


    He knocked the ball horizontally while receiving the ball, Beckham quickly inserted it, and Maniche, who was against Gerald, just flew towards Beckham, and Beckham passed the ball diagonally in front of the right side.


    Beautiful two to one!


    Gerrard turned around smoothly and took the ball forward without harassment, and quickly reached the Portuguese penalty area.


    Andrade came to stare at him. When Gerrard took the ball inwards, he gave up the right position. Beckham moved from the back to the front. This attack was almost an S-shaped attack, but he was in coordination. There is no slightest regional conflict.


    Gerrard then passed the ball back to Beckham, who passed the ball with a full moon like a scimitar, and went directly to the middle of the two central defenders of the Portuguese defense. Andrade defended Gerrard. Opened the distance between him and Carvalho.


    At this point in front of the middle of the door, Irving slanted from the left back to the right. With Carvalho''s obvious intention to interfere, Owen stepped out and rushed to the top!


    boom!


    The ball was in front of Carvalho''s stomach less than a meter away, but Owen''s head hit the ball actively, and I saw that the ball threw into the upper right corner of the Portuguese goal like a thunder!


    Irving rolled a ball on the ground and came into physical contact with Carvalho after taking the ball. He covered his ribs and did not stand up again!


    "England score another goal! Owen! Owen... Owen, Owen seems to be injured!"


    All the English fans at the scene were too late to celebrate, and were interrupted by this unexpected picture.


    Aldridge had waved his arm when he saw Irving rolling on the ground to signal the team doctor to enter the field quickly!


    With nearly 20 minutes off the bench, Owen was injured!


    And he brought a goal and an assist to England!


    All England fans are praying for Owen, hoping he has no big problems.


    Gerald, who was closest to Owen, ran to Owen for the first time and leaned down to ask about his condition. Owen grinned and could not express the meaning of his expression. Pain and happiness coexisted. He breathed in air and said, "Steven, Me, my ribs seem to be broken."


    "Don''t mess up, don''t mess up, the team doctor will arrive immediately."


    Gerrard got up and waved towards the team doctor of the trot, beckoning them to run faster.


    Fracture of ribs is not a joke. If the bone is accidentally inserted into the lungs, it will kill!


    Carvalho had also been flustered just now. The height of the ball made him almost use his head and his feet. When Owen rushed to the top, his thigh was raised. While Owen finished the top, his leg did not retract and hit Over Owen.


    Due to Owen''s injury, the England team did not celebrate the goal, but when Owen was lifted off the stretcher, the Lisbon Bright Stadium sounded deafening applause.


    The team doctor initially detected that Owen''s injury was not serious. It was not as serious as Owen thought. The fracture did indeed squeeze the lungs slightly, making him breathless and chest tight, but he has not yet reached a particularly dangerous situation.


    Aldridge gave a thumbs-up to Owen when Owen was lifted out of the sidelines, and Owen squeezed out a smile with a painful response.


    The Portuguese team trailed 0:2, as if falling off the cliff.


    After they restarted the ball and failed to make their first offense, Deco''s long shot flew directly out of the beam.


    Aldridge used all the remaining substitutions.


    "The England team replaced two of them at a time. Irving came off the bench and left because of injury. He made a great contribution to the England team. If the England team can win the championship, only Irvine who played less than 20 minutes today will be England fans will always remember that the person who replaced him was Joe Cole. At the same time, Gerrard was also replaced. The person who replaced him was Carrick. It seems that Sir Hall is going to be absolutely defensive."


    That''s right, the England team is absolutely defensive, but not by increasing the number of defensive players, but by controlling the ball.


    This point he made very clear to Carrick and Joe Cole during the substitutions. He passed the ball control in the B2B area with his teammates. Without teammates running, they formed a single-pole threat. At the time, outside the fan-shaped area in front of the door, they rushed!


    Scolari was a little bit off the sidelines. He knew that the general trend was gone and he was still struggling to die.


    Portuguese players rushed to the court, and more and more holes were exposed in the backcourt. They did not organize a smooth and orderly offensive. Instead, the back defense continued to sound alarms. Unfortunately, the England team has no forward striker. Joe Cole is in In the 87th minute, he missed a single-handed ball. Beckham failed to hang the goal when he also hit the goalkeeper in the last minute of the game.


    However, England still maintained the victory until the end of the game!


    German referee Merck sounded the whistle at the end of the match. At that moment, all the coaches and players of the England team rushed into the field and celebrated wildly!


    "The 2004 European Cup champions were born. They were England! England relied on a tough and solid defense to create a continuous scoring opportunity in 90 minutes, and finally defeated Portugal with a goal of Lampard and Irving 2: 0. This is the first time that England have won the European Cup in the history of England. At the same time, they copied the glorious achievements of the French team in two consecutive competitions in 1998 and 2000! There is no doubt that this is the English national team¡¯s international championship. Dynasty moment! And the creator of all this, the most important person is, of course, their coach Sir Hall. With his rich coaching experience and excellent on-the-spot command ability, Sir Hall has made the England team reborn in the past four years. Not only did he regain the World Cup after 36 years, but he also won the European Cup unprecedented! He will be remembered by English football and worshipped by world football. Sir Hall is a natural football coach genius. Sweeping all awards in his coaching career, the club has a grand slam, and the national team has also completed two of the most important championships. If he continues to coach the England national team, next summer¡¯s Confederations Cup, maybe he can add one to the England team. The championship trophy. At the same time, we should also see that the success of the England team is not accidental, they have many excellent stars, Owen, Gerrard, Lampard, Beckham, Scholes, Hargreaves England, Campbell, Terry, Gary Neville, Ashley Cole, Robinson, in addition to the goalkeepers, the England team¡¯s starting main force in this competition comes from European giants or first-tier clubs, which are fully tempered on the club¡¯s stage. With the training of high-level games, their strength is obvious to all, and with a legendary coach, the England team has demonstrated convincing strength in this European Cup, which is more than they won the World Cup two years ago. The thrill should be more tangible, and now people are more concerned about whether Sir Hall will stay in England as he did two years ago. If he chooses to leave, the loss to England will be incalculable, but this I''m afraid the topic is worrying for England fans, and fans of other strong teams are happy to see it. Tonight, we want to give applause to Portugal, they also got the best result of the national team European Cup, but the runner-up is always regrettable, now We can already see the young C Ronaldo standing with red eyes and shed sad tears. At the age of 19, he will surely be the future leader of Portugal, but now facing the stronger England, he has not become anymore. Key figures, we will give him applause and encouragement. I hope that in two years, we will see him lead Portugal farther in the World Cup. Tonight, it belongs to England, it belongs to English football, they have reason to be the first in history. Celebrating the European Cup! The European Cup once every four years, the fighting in 2004 has ceased. Now, we enter the reincarnation and wait for the fighting to reignite four years later. At that time, we will wait for the powerful Europeans in Switzerland and Audley Meeting and fighting!"


    In the bright summer, the smoke of the European Cup finally went out, and the England team won the first European Cup trophy in history!


    After the climax of Aldridge celebrating in the field passed, he stared at Ronaldo with tears in his eyes not far away. At this moment, his heart was also uncomfortable.


    In fact, there was a certain factor in the sentiment of wanting to resign two years ago.


    In the club, the general is dedicated to the national team, but he has to fight against the base.


    In the World Cup, he played against Larson, Ronaldinho, Schneider and others.


    When you come to the European Cup, you have to send Henry, Nedved, and now Ronaldo...


    Even if the two worlds were human, he did not know how to deal with the situation like this, which made him embarrassed.


    To comfort?


    He is the runner-up, you are the champion, what consolation?


    At the moment when he won the European Cup championship trophy with the team, Aldridge knew that he could no longer continue to be the national team coach.


    No longer because he has the time and energy, do he want to stay with his family more.


    It is simply because, although leading the national team has a sense of career accomplishment, it will also be more unhappy.


    On this day, Audrey Hall completed the achievements of the national team to win the World Cup and the European Cup on the tenth anniversary of his coaching.


    On the day he officially retired ten years later, his coaching career was defined as "perfect."


    And ten years later, the world football has a new definition of football coach.


    There are two types of football coaches.


    One is called "Aldrich Hall" and the other is other coaches.

 Chapter 1029： War after restoration

    When the England team returned to London on a special plane with the European Cup, in addition to Southgate who had retired due to injury, he had already returned early. Other players, including Irving, who was not seriously injured, had fun on the plane.


    Aldridge had a close talk with the FA''s chairman in the front row of the plane.


    This time no player tried to retain Aldridge, not because he didn''t want to, but knew that it was hard for the strongman.


    Not to mention that the level of competition at the club level in UEFA has been quietly changing. In the national team alone, they can feel that Aldridge¡¯s enthusiasm for this job is declining sharply. Maybe the players are beginning to be disobedient, maybe everyone is taking it. When it comes to achievements, ambitions and desires are no longer the same.


    Football Association President Thompson kept Aldridge open, but did not get nodded from Aldridge. At the moment the European Cup ended, Aldridge''s contract with the FA officially came to an end.


    At this moment, Thompson is soliciting opinions from Aldridge, hoping that Aldridge can give a suitable successor.


    In the few years of cooperation with the FA, despite the small contradictions, the two sides are still very happy in the overall situation. In the discussion of choosing a successor, Thompson is not worried about Aldridge¡¯s selfishness, especially in the current European Cup. In the past, Aldridge suppressed Rooney in a platoon formation and reused Gerald. No one would doubt Aldrich''s official position.


    Aldrich is more difficult, and he will definitely not discuss with Thompson in the past, because this is equivalent to digging himself.


    The successor leads the team in a poor record in the future, so his opinion at this time becomes a disaster introduction and will be criticized.


    However, at this time, Aldridge was unwilling to consider so much. Based on his long-term relationship with these internationals and his accumulated feelings, he also hoped that his successor would allow the national team to develop smoothly.


    The FA has its own arrogance.


    England will not enable foreign coaches.


    This was even more determined after Aldridge led his team to achieve a glorious reign of dynasty.


    With English football being so successful, how could the public be willing to see foreign coaches to coach the Three Lions?


    As a result, the selection of coaches is very narrow, and Aldridge finally gave Thompson two names. The specific choice of who will be handed over to the FA for internal discussion.


    One is Hodgson.


    One is Redknapp.


    Not to mention the current stage, it is estimated that in the next ten years, the England team can only be selected by the two local coaches.


    Not how strong they are in coaching skills, but that other stronger ones cannot be chosen.


    After giving the names of these two candidates, the cooperation between Aldridge and the FA is completely over. With the outstanding contribution of winning the World Cup and now getting the European Cup, Aldridge''s invisible power in the football world Become more powerful.


    In London, tens of thousands of English fans came to pick up the airport, and the airport was completely blocked, which seriously affected the traffic around the airport. Even the entire city of London was carnival. Fans celebrating on the street could be seen everywhere. Ballads, under the banner of meritorious players or Aldridge designs, London is sleepless on this day.


    The England team who returned to the country was met by the Prime Minister, visited Downing Street, and then saw the Queen at Buckingham Palace to attend the royal feast.


    They held a championship celebration ceremony in the square in the city. When Aldridge appeared in a casual dress, it caused a sensation on the spot.


    Putting down the coach of the national team, he has also gotten closer to many players. During the past three and a half years of working together, the condensed friendship has changed into friendship.


    It''s just that in this championship-winning craze, not everything is perfect. Aldrich has never seen Rooney.


    Maybe everything that happened at the European Cup hurt Rooney.


    Aldridge hopes he can figure it out for himself. He has said it many times. As an elder, he does not want to break into conflict with Rooney. It makes no sense.


    But if he couldn''t figure it out, Aldridge wasn''t difficult for a strong man, and the road was skyrocketing, each walking halfway.


    If the England team is planted, Aldridge will reflect on it, but England wins, which proves that everything he did is correct. He did not want to communicate with Rooney anymore in what happened in the European Cup.


    The facts lie ahead.


    Aldridge left the national team, there is no official farewell team, the FA has specially organized a reception to honor Aldridge, and awarded a specially created award to give him as a memorial.


    After the championship celebration is over, the internationals have to take a break. On the occasion of parting, some internationals find Audridge specifically to discuss some issues about the development of individual clubs.


    Lampard wants to return to Millwall. He performed well at Inter Milan last season, but he can¡¯t afford a team, especially if his adaptation to Italy¡¯s life is not going well and may be missed. In England''s "Flower World", Inter Milan was not a disaster last season, but it was not successful. Moratti''s continuous coaching led to the team''s turmoil and was able to retain the Champions League seat. It is already good.


    Aldridge didn''t give Lampard a positive response, but turned him down gently.


    Millwall''s next phase of construction has been on track. Kaka came to England for three years to adapt to England''s life, adapt to the football style here, integrate into the Millwall team, plus his technical ability and physical fitness over the same period Training has also reached the stage where Aldridge can use it with confidence. As a super first-class strong team, Millwall can explode in the next few seasons, but the premise of the outbreak is stability, and stability within the team is particularly important. Therefore, Aldridge Will make Nedved start to retreat to the second line, Kaka officially higher.


    Lampard seemed to be disappointed to say goodbye to Aldridge.


    Gerrard also came to communicate privately with Aldridge. The Liverpool captain wanted to ask Aldridge''s advice on his career development, and at the same time knocked sideways to hear everything about Benitez, he wanted to have a bottom in the new season. Liverpool has no Champions League, which is not in line with his ambitions. For his old friend Benitez, and Audridge¡¯s new enemy, Aldridge simply told Gerald to let him trust Benitez. A coach who can win the title from Barcelona and Real Madrid twice in three seasons, there is no need to prove anything to the players, although in the eyes of the English people, their league is the best, and the La Liga team will not look too much. powerful.


    Irving has a strong desire to transfer. He has played the main role in Liverpool for more than 5 years. However, the league championship is far away, and he already has the World Cup and the European Cup. He hopes that his career will be more perfect. League + Champions League , Is his next important pursuit, he also came to ask Aldridge about his intention to transfer, and even, in his obscure expression, Aldridge could hear that Irving was willing to come to the Lion King Stadium as a backup forward, even Can not compete with Henry, as long as it is the first person to substitute.


    Many years have passed, Aldridge has forgotten what happened when he came to persuade Irving to join Millwall, but maybe Irving still remembers. In the national team, Aldridge achieved him, making him extremely dazzling. In the more vulgar terms of the football world, Irving is willing to die for Aldridge, so he hopes to serve Aldridge, but Aldridge still did not accept Irving¡¯s nomination and avoided his transfer to Millwall Topic, but to persuade him to stay in Liverpool, Benitez knows good people, he can get enough support in Liverpool, but if the transfer leaves, not to say that the Italian style is not suitable for his development, even if he went to other giants , I am afraid it is difficult to integrate.


    In terms of career advice, Aldridge once again mentioned a common topic, hoping that Irving would be best off for half a year, at least! He is only 24 years old!


    Like Nesta who came to Millwall, although there was an opportunity for injury, Aldridge insisted on letting him recuperate for most of the season. This was the last season''s wonderful performance, and there was no major injury.


    Aldridge just said goodbye to the England national team, and an important news shocked England football.


    At the end of the year, Scholes announced his withdrawal from the English national team!


    His withdrawal is similar to Aldridge''s success. He hopes to dedicate the time behind his career to Manchester United without reservation!


    His initiative to withdraw from the national team has caused a lot of controversy. Some criticized his selfishness, and some Manchester United fans expressed strong support for him.


    Gary Neville originally wanted to withdraw, but he was still unwilling. In the 2002 World Cup, he was absent due to injury. He hoped to play for another World Cup, and he chose to withdraw after going to Germany two years later.


    Aldridge didn''t pay attention to outside news.


    he has married.


    He invited many relatives and friends, and accompanied by the whole family, he and Yiwen held a wedding at sea and took a luxury cruise to take a sea trip.


    ...


    In the summer of 2004, Aldridge led Millwall to complete the dynasty restoration, and led the England team to win the first European Cup in history.


    This was a year of great brilliance for him.


    However, the war belonging to him continued.


    Over the past few years, there has been a haze over Stamford Bridge, and the bleak clouds are the most common scene for Chelsea people, but since last season, Stamford Bridge seems to have become a barracks, an arsenal more than the frugal Arsenal Prepare for the base!


    Mourinho airborne the Stamford Bridge for more than one month. Chelsea''s "arms race" intensified, attracting European tyrants and threatening everyone, for fear that the top beam of the family was tempted by Chelsea''s ruble.


    The topic around Chelsea is always: Who will they buy?


    And this fire, finally, finally, inevitably burned towards their dead enemy: Millwall!


    Mourinho didn''t care that Abu was burning money. Because Abuken burned money, he chose to come to Stamford Bridge. Although he was somewhat disgusted with Abu''s command of the team, he clearly crossed the line. However, after seeing Abu''s acquisition list, He had to shut his mouth again to protest.


    Because Abu wants to bring his people, not only can greatly improve the fighting power of Chelsea, but also directly weaken the strength of the biggest competitor in the entire European football field!

 Chapter 1030： Transfer mystery

    Mourinho''s approach to Stamford Bridge is still alive.


    With the arrogance that he was born with to face the Englishman with arrogant blood flowing in his bones, he would not be welcomed.


    He has become the focus. Although everyone does not like it, the world is sometimes wonderful. People will pay attention to people they like and secretly pay attention to people they don¡¯t like, especially when they see that people who don¡¯t like fail. Happily, the malicious pleasures are sometimes even happier.


    During this period, Mourinho and Abu were "a match made in heaven."


    Mourinho has played a good role in "pulling hatred". Since Abu entered the Stamford Bridge last season, in addition to marveling at Chelsea''s squandering, people are more concerned about: When did the Russian rich lose?


    Of course there will be a lot of people expecting him to fail, expecting him to get out of nothing!


    Now, it has become Mourinho to play such a role. People will wait and see what changes will happen to Chelsea of ??Mourinho. Then, most people want them to fail, just as most people also want Milwa Well, the giants like Manchester United have been sluggish.


    Mourinho spoke surprisingly with a strong purpose when he attended the official Chelsea press conference for the first time.


    "If I want to live a happy life, I will stay in Porto. There are beautiful blue thrones, championship honors, God, God is me afterwards."


    God''s boss and his second son, such remarks were later misinterpreted, Mourinho said that there is a specific context for such words, that is, in Porto, not the whole world.


    In any case, his arrogant side was promoted.


    As for the reporters who used two consecutive European finals to lose to Odri? to make trouble for Mourinho, Mourinho seemed very disdainful, and also showed his ambitions.


    "If anyone who has watched the Champions League final will find out that Aldridge Hall''s team used the referee''s misjudgment to get the first goal. He is a man of speculation and pride. I have only one goal in coaching Chelsea, leading Chelsea to the best team in the world. If you think that the best team in the world is Millwall, then Chelsea will replace Millwall."


    He declared war unabashedly, although it made many people feel uncomfortable, but the Chelsea people are very cool. Compared with the various cautious and flinching remarks of many coaches in the face of Aldridge, Mourinho''s words quickly got him Chelsea supporters.


    During the European Cup, Chelsea''s summer signing also kicked off.


    Mourinho brought his heirs from Porto, Carvalho and Ferreira.


    Prior to this, a transfer finalized by Chelsea last season was completed before the arrival of Mourinho, that is the introduction of goalkeeper Cech.


    Subsequently, Drogba and Essien were sensationally taken from Paris Saint-Germain for 40 million pounds.


    The transfer was completed in mid-July. When Aldridge returned to London to prepare for the new season, he heard the news. He called directly to question the Paris Saint-Germain Club and sold Drogba and Essien. , But they signed the agreement!


    Never sell people back to the Premier League!


    However, Paris Saint-Germain directly paid 20 million pounds for liquidated damages to Millwall.


    A person in the circle on the French side informed Audrich: The boss behind Paris Saint-Germain could not play! Want to change clubs!


    In fact, half of this penalty is paid by Chelsea!


    They are eager to get players to exchange funds!


    If you quantify the financial situation of Paris Saint-Germain, then two years later, Paris Saint-Germain was sold by CANAL+ at a price of 40 million euros, and you can know how strong their demand for tens of millions of euros.


    Lampard, who wanted to return to England, had almost nowhere to go, and finally accepted Chelsea''s invitation.


    Millwall didn''t want him.


    Arsenal cannot afford him.


    Manchester United''s board of directors paid for it, but Ferguson''s first signing was the striker, not the midfielder.


    Chelsea can only play the Champions League and can afford high wages.


    With the World Cup, Lampard, who returned to the European Championship with the double title of the European Cup, has become a spur of Millwall fans.


    Aldridge accepted this fact calmly.


    If Lampard hadn¡¯t said to him before that he wanted to return to Millwall, he might not be able to calm down, but since there was such a conversation, Lampard eventually went to Chelsea, and he couldn¡¯t blame the other party.


    It''s just that this may have completely exhausted the friendship between the two sides.


    In the sunny morning, Aldridge returned to the club. The newly-married Yan''er is not too sweet. The marriage may be more than the actual form. He and Yiwen have been very tacit. His life is in step by step. He returned to work after the holiday. ''S mentality is fairly easy.


    In my own office, I will first review the contract renewal work within the club.


    In addition to Ashley Cole, the main players of the first team have renewed their contracts.


    In the bench, Robben''s renewal was rejected by his father''s agent. From the information disclosed by the media, Chelsea''s salary increase to Robben is absolutely not satisfied by Millwall, and the gap is very large.


    Ribery, who returned after the lease expired, did not seem to want to renew the contract, but he did not see much news in the newspaper.


    Aldridge sent a text message to Andrew and asked him to come to his office and interview him.


    The work documents that have been accumulated for more than a month required Audridge to review them. These documents were sorted by the secretary.


    Aldridge kept looking at it and took one of them aside.


    That''s the information file of Millwall, a Chinese player Qu Bo loaned to Belgium.


    On the Belgian side, Torop¡¯s feedback is not good.


    Although Qu Bo has grown relatively well, it is basically impossible to gain a foothold in Millwall.


    The best is the best. In the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, teams can play games. The European super-class giants cannot have his foothold, and the bench is impossible.


    Aldridge thought about Qu Bo with a cigarette.


    The introduction of Qubo in those years, not to mention competitive considerations, was entirely a product of commercialization, just as Manchester United signed Dong Fangzhuo six months ago to develop the Asian market.


    This has also led to a strange phenomenon. Chinese fans are gradually familiar with the previously unfamiliar Belgian league, and like several family treasures, they can tell which teams are in the league, who is strong and who is weak.


    Dong Fangzhuo and Qu Bo''s Chinese derby in the Belgian League has also become a football topic that Chinese fans care about. Unfortunately, at the end of last season, Dong Fangzhuo''s Belgian team was relegated.


    But Aldridge did not owe Qu Bo''s psychology. This was not a simple use. He gave Qu Bo a better environment for growth. Whether it was a dragon or a worm, it was still his own efforts.


    Nowadays, Qu Bo has received many invitations from Chinese clubs, hoping to return to his country to play.


    Qu Bo himself does not want to continue to consume, after all, in Belgium, really did not earn much.


    Aldridge finished smoking and made a decision to let Qu Bo return to China and let him go.


    Most of the information files organized for him by the club are related to the recent developments of the players.


    There are a lot of players'' information that Aldridge can''t help but nod and appreciate.


    For example, Cristiano Ronaldo will return to London to renew his contract with Millwall after playing the European Cup, and then take a break to go to the Portuguese Olympic team for the Olympic men''s football team.


    Another example is Kaka, although in this document, a lot of Brazilian media recently disclosed the news, claiming that Kaka will transfer to Chelsea, Chelsea has awarded him a contract with a weekly salary of 80,000 pounds, even Kaka¡¯s father All have expressed their views on the media, very explicit that his son will go to Chelsea¡¯s football revolution, but Kaka suddenly returned to the club three days ago to complete the renewal, leaving a photo of the successful renewal and then immediately returned to South The Americas continue to compete in the America¡¯s Cup, with a weekly salary lower than Chelsea¡¯s, with 60,000 pounds.


    And players like Alonso, De Rossi, Villa, who were also seduce by Chelsea at the same time, they completed the contract with the club in early June.


    Chelsea wants to dig people, it must be high wages, in addition to **** wages, there is no other attraction!


    In this respect, Millwall cannot be lifted with the other party. If it is too high, Chelsea can¡¯t dig up the team. They can¡¯t take it there, but Millwall will be the one that will trigger the whole body. It¡¯s like, if On the retention card, raising Kaka''s salary to a higher or roughly flat level than Chelsea gives, Millwall''s entire salary system structure is going to rise, otherwise there will be dissatisfaction, which is a huge hidden danger.


    How generous is Chelsea?


    Who has the highest annual salary in Europe?


    Lampard!


    Compared to Real Madrid''s Zidane, Ronaldo, Beckham are higher.


    Double the salary of AC Milan''s leading shooter Shevchenko!


    Aldridge is very happy that 90% of the team''s renewal work has been completed.


    The rest of them are unhappy, and we will wait for Andrew to come and talk in person.


    Chelsea''s money-burning is not over, far from over.


    The media disclosed that they are willing to pay 40 million pounds for Rooney transfer fees!


    Mourinho also nodded vaguely in an interview with the media to approve the club''s transfer operations.


    Aldridge turned on his computer to browse the news while waiting for Andrew. He was paying attention to the news on the transfer market.


    Chelsea deserved to be the protagonist, and there are rumors of transfers in mainstream leagues.


    Last season Chelsea was buying a goalkeeper, but unfortunately it hurts. Kudicini''s performance is okay, but not enough top-level, Cech came to have a qualitative improvement in this regard.


    However, Aldridge saw Chelsea looking for goalkeepers in the transfer news of the German football market.


    "Chelsea is willing to pay ¡ê3 million for the 18-year-old Neuer! God, this young man who has just entered the Schalke 04 team is too lucky!"


    Seeing this news, Aldridge felt weird.


    Chelsea have no shortage of goalkeepers.


    What''s more, what they are looking for is actually Neuer, who is indifferent?


    Aldrich suppressed his doubts and continued to browse the news.


    "Chelsea tried to buy Maridimo''s Pepe for ¡ê2 million, and rented back Maridimo for two years, and went to Stamford Bridge after Pepe obtained an EU passport!"


    Chelsea still need to buy a guard?


    "Chelsea is buying ¡ê5 million for Seville''s Brazilian defender Daniel Alves!"


    Aldridge realized what he saw when he saw the news. He picked up the landline phone on the desk and called the club¡¯s department that sorted out external intelligence information.


    "Give me the news of Chelsea''s active purchase in the transfer market in the past two months!"


    Andrew didn''t arrive, and Aldridge was not in a hurry. The text message that the other party sent him was on the road, saying that he would arrive in 3 hours.


    Today is the day of team training. Unlike usual, the training session starts in the afternoon, and Audridge has more time.


    At 11 a.m., the working department compiled the compiled information into a file and printed it and took it to Aldridge''s desk.


    Aldridge glanced over one by one, his eyes growing sharper, his expression angry.


    Chelsea''s signing dynamics made him feel weird for two reasons. First, Chelsea now need superstars and stars, at least first-class level, proving players who can play steadily in the top league. Noel is not, Pepe is not, Alves may be OK, but definitely not to the level of Chelsea''s signing. Second, these people will definitely not be requested by Mourinho. Mourinho must be a ready-made good player. He has no time to train rookies. He should be able to understand that in the Premier League, he is successful in challenging Millwall. Before, he didn''t have the conditions to train newcomers!


    On the contrary, Neuer, Pepe, Alves, including Chelsea tried to buy the ownership of Mascherano and Tevez in South America, and Europe also tried to take away young talents such as Silva from Real Madrid.


    This list is very similar to the highest level of star rating in Millwall''s internal recruitment candidates!


    Millwall¡¯s internal database is very large, divided into two parts, one is to study opponents, and the other is used for the construction of its own club. For the goalkeeper position, Neuer is ranked first in potential recruitment in the future!


    Due to the particularity of the goalkeeper¡¯s position, even if it is a genius, Aldridge can¡¯t bring people to the club early. It doesn¡¯t make sense. If you buy a loan early, it may be a joke. After all, it¡¯s too much attention and will drain. The patience of the players is constantly being loaned out, and no one is happy.


    As for players like Pepe, Alves, and Tevez, there is no place for them in the team, they still have to buy them on loan, and they do not have a labor certificate, Aldridge can no longer be brazen to buy a substitute through genius terms.


    Chelsea in the transfer market to buy Kompany, Van der Vaart, Torres and other young geniuses, he will not have any unexpected feelings. After all, these players have indeed emerged and stared at by many giants.

 Chapter 1031： money

    Ten years ago, Aldridge used his innate advantages to bring a batch of "Thousand Miles". Ten years later, facing the leakage of Millwall''s internal intelligence data, Chelsea was sweeping the goods in the transfer market. He was angry at internal intelligence. Leaked, but not worried about the current situation.


    In terms of Millwall''s current football position, he has the financial resources, and there are only a handful of stars in the world that can''t be bought. It is nothing more than the cost. As for being taken advantage of by others, he is not worried.


    Millwall itself is mature, not nothing, and the situation of overthrowing reconstruction will not happen in the next ten years. They are like a serious injury in a virtuous circle of development system. It is almost certain that he will withdraw from the new season. Team, Larson turned into a stable substitute, there are already successors in the same position, do not have to worry about the next few years.


    Lunch is a working meal in the office. Ewen took Bonnie to the hospital for a medical check-up today. At noon, he returned to his parents¡¯ home to gather. Burt and Earl were also taken by Arthur to take a vacation while on holiday.


    Just after lunch, the door of the office was pushed open, Aldridge looked up curiously, surprised that the person did not knock on the door.


    The comer was Adam, and the look of the man in suit and middle-aged man''s approach to middle-agedness surprised Audric today.


    The other person''s expression was numb and he held an envelope in his hand. When he came to the Aldridge table, he put down the envelope and said indifferently, "I quit."


    Aldridge lifted his chest and leaned back in the boss chair, his expression slightly reflecting.


    Adam turned and wanted to go, but after two steps, he turned his head again and asked without expression: "Why don''t you talk?"


    Ding.


    Aldridge lit a cigarette and lit the resignation letter. The burning resignation letter was thrown into the trash bin by him. When it was almost burned, he poured the water in the teacup into the trash bin.


    "How much did Chelsea give you?"


    Aldridge spit out a smoke, and Adam''s resignation letter came up, and he figured it out.


    There is nothing surprising or surprising. Commercial warfare, such as battlefields, football, has already entered commercialization, just like Abu prying from Manchester United to promote it. In addition to the ability of the other party, there is also the establishment of his position in Manchester United. Interpersonal networks in the football world, these are virtually high-value commodities.


    Adam didn''t change his face and replied: "8 million pounds is enough to buy my soul. What can''t be sold?"


    Aldridge shrugged and said, "It''s normal for people to die for food and death. It''s normal for me to lose ¡ê8 million if I don''t have my current family property. Maybe I can sell my soul."


    "You haven''t realized what I sold to Chelsea."


    "It''s nothing more than Millwall''s internal intelligence, and it''s also provoking some players to move to Chelsea to match them. To be honest, Adam, ten years later, ten years later, you have reason to be dissatisfied, just like the salary of players. It has been 10 times that year, but you have not raised much salary than that year, only earning less than one million annual salary. I don¡¯t think I am a stingy boss, but every time someone suggests me to raise your salary, I always cancel it. This idea, why? Because you have never brought me surprises, you are just working in Millwall, why should I give you a high salary? If you are not thinking about old feelings, you may have been unemployed."


    Money is at the core of everything happening now.


    Adam bowed his head with a grin, then raised his head to point to Aldridge, and said, "Audrich Hall, I¡¯m sick of your arrogance, I didn¡¯t surprise you? Maybe, but you did It has caused me a lot of trouble and embarrassed me repeatedly! Do you know how many schedule items on the calendar were vetoed lightly by you? I fell asleep because of a call from you, or a word you sent to you, My preparation work for a week, a month, or even longer time is gone, and then, I will rush to implement your request and complete the work you have given! F! You are the king here, everything here is successful , It makes you shine, and the problems exposed here, I will bear the blame, I am fed up with the ridicule of others, and I am sick of being like a puppet at your mercy!"


    Seeing Adam¡¯s gaffes and deeds, Aldridge smiled and asked, ¡°Of course I am the king here, and all the plants and trees here belong to me. Why shouldn¡¯t I be the king? Ha ha ha, Adam, don¡¯t be spoiled here. What are the bad kids venting, being at the mercy? Puppet? If I give you an annual salary of 3 million pounds? An annual salary of 5 million pounds? Will you be bought by Chelsea? You will stand here and stand up and speak to me toughly You, dare? You handed over your resignation letter and took the opportunity to recharge the tough guys here. Don¡¯t be funny, hurry up.¡±


    Adam''s face was pale and he stopped talking. He originally thought that coming here today would make Aldridge "shocked", and then he was able to spit out his heart, even if it was only a moment of pleasure, he felt it was worth it. Unfortunately, Aldrich Qi didn''t let him get what he wanted.


    With years of savings and Chelsea buying up the windfall he made him, multi-millionaire Adam left England and went to the United States to do his old business, financial investment.


    A few years later, in the subprime mortgage crisis, Adam was ruined. When he was middle-aged, he was not only unemployed but also owed debts. He never knew that in the upper level of the US financial pyramid, a pair of eyes from the Hall family had been paying attention to him. And set up a situation that made him walk into a penniless situation, that was his boss Barnett Hall before 1994.


    ...


    In the afternoon, Aldridge in the office sat on the boss chair and looked up at the ceiling, his feet spinning rhythmically to rotate the chair.


    The world is very realistic, like what Adam does, there are all walks of life, but football clubs are like enterprises, but they are not exactly the same. Just as corporate executives will sign confidentiality agreements, the rules and regulations of the football industry are very binding. , Where is there any secret, and what secrets need to be protected? The so-called transfer market secrets are just a few names. If Adam can leave the handle, then he is stupid, like a pig. Presumably the money Chelsea gave him is also in an offshore financial center, a tax haven, and there is no evidence in lawsuits. , Can''t you say that Chelsea has a crush on Millwall''s players? That''s a big joke. Chelsea doesn''t have a scout network. Why can''t Millwall look at people who Chelsea can''t?


    Adam served as CEO in Millwall, in fact, is a mess, business operations will naturally not be accomplished, but the mediocrity, did not show too high can be amazingly amazing ability.


    But Millwall still needs a CEO after all, and Aldridge''s trouble is nothing more than to spend some time to find a qualified candidate.


    As for the internal information that Adam sold to Chelsea, it is not rare to say how precious it is.


    Millwall¡¯s geniuses that have been ¡°trained¡± or ¡°processed¡± in the past ten years are countless, and the talents flowing out are all over the top European leagues. In recent years, the reason why Millwall has introduced young talents has become less powerful, and their fame is inseparable. .


    If it is competing for world-class players like Nesta, it is normal.


    But if you buy a 17-year-old Moutinho and Verroso, it will make those clubs very vigilant, they are afraid to let go of a "Pirlo" or "Nedved".


    So buying young days will be blackmailed.


    How about buying it?


    This is the second point. Ownership of players does not mean that you have a superstar with a peak of strength. You still need to cultivate, shape, and wait for players to grow. If it is not really necessary for the team, Millwall has rarely started in advance, just like letting He now brings Pepe, Neuer, Alves and other players to the team. In addition to letting them play in the reserve league, I am afraid that the opportunities for the first-team substitutes are scarce. In a few years, they will not be abandoned. ?


    Other clubs have the space to train players and have the financial resources. I hope that their team can develop a superstar instead of buying it. They will be interested in digging Millwall to target players.


    Chelsea¡¯s massive recruitment has another potential purpose. Aldrich guessed that it might be Abu who understood the difference between rich and players, just like he was willing to offer Ronaldinho a ¡ê100 million offer, but Ronaldinho did not Transfer, he spent 100 million pounds elsewhere, but can not buy a player equal to Ronaldinho.


    The number of geniuses is scarce. Being able to have a certain number of geniuses within a period of time is equivalent to suppressing opponents.


    Early on, the scarce resources were divided up, and then in the future, when other powerful players are replaced, they will face the dilemma of "retaining talents."


    What makes Aldridge self-consolation is that Millwall now has the top talent in the next five years, and five years later, when a new batch of geniuses are born, they can still shoot, and those players , Have not yet entered Millwall''s database, after all, too young and too young, such as Bell.


    While Aldrich was thinking, someone walked into his office. Adam did not close the door when he left, nor did he get up and close the office door.


    It was Andrew who walked in. He was also formally dressed and walked to Aldridge''s desk. When he saw Aldridge sitting in a chair, he asked curiously, "So leisurely?"


    Aldridge stopped, his head dizzy, and after a few seconds returned to normal, he smiled and said: "Just now Adam sent me a resignation letter, and then scolded me, hehehe, I was thinking where to go to find a new one The CEO. Where have you been? You came here so late."


    Andrew frowned when he heard the news of Adam''s resignation. He knew what kind of role Adam was in Millwall. Although it wouldn''t make Aldridge feel the pain of a broken arm, no matter who would do such a thing, it would be a little annoying. Right.


    When he sat down, Aldridge got up and poured two glasses of red wine. He stood in front of the desk and leaned back.


    Andrew took a sip and whispered: "I just came back from Liverpool."


    Aldridge carrying the glass was silent.


    Liverpool?


    Rooney''s hometown?


    "What do you want me to talk about?"


    "Talk about your players, Ribery, Ashley Cole, Rooney."


    Aldridge did not mention Robben because Robben¡¯s agent was not Andrew.


    For Robben, Aldridge did not want to waste his mind.


    During Robben''s European Cup, Dutch coach Ed Vokat criticized Aldridge, claiming that Aldridge did not trust Robben enough.


    Aldridge was too lazy to respond.


    In this world, it is often that your mind is always treated as a wolf heart.


    Robben''s style needs to change to integrate into Millwall. Robben''s physique requires him to pay special attention to intensive exercise at this age.


    He was 18 years old when he came to Millwall last season and 19 years old last season.


    What does the Dutch coach think of the Premier League?


    He didn''t want Robben to be a glass man, he needed a better Robben.


    But since the player himself does not appreciate it, the player''s family does not appreciate it, and in turn **** still be criticized by others, Aldridge does not want to bother himself to find it uncomfortable.


    Chelsea wanted to buy an unstable glass man. Aldridge knocked on the opponent to kick Robben out of his future plan. There is no regret. Robben has not contributed anything to Millwall and feels unhappy here. Aldridge succeeded him.

 Chapter 1032： greedy

    Andrew, who came to Aldridge''s office, was in a very heavy mood.


    When Aldridge came to the point to talk about the players, he knew that this "tit-for-tat" conversation was about to begin.


    He tried to make the conversation easier.


    "Aldrich, you have been a head coach for ten years. You should know better than me. Even the most powerful club in the world cannot have more than 11 world-class players."


    Aldrich heard everything he thought.


    He didn''t expect Andrew''s opening remarks to be such words.


    The reason is very simple, 11 world-class players themselves are already very difficult to form, but if you really have one, each position, then the bench can be a first-class player, but it can¡¯t be a world-class player, because a world-class star won¡¯t Willing to substitute.


    For example, 30-year-old Nedved and 26-year-old Kaka can never be a main player and a substitute.


    However, 31-year-old Nedved played the main role and 21-year-old Kaka played off the bench, which is not a problem.


    In the new season, Nedved is 32 years old and Kaka is 22 years old.


    Kaka has not yet reached world-class strength, and Nedved has also entered the end of his career. Aldridge will let Kaka pick the beam, let Nedved play a more important role, and make Nedved become a team. In the midfield, except for the forwards, all the roles are replaced. If everything works well, another season, Kaka''s further improvement, Nedved is one year old, the team has completed a perfect transition in position .


    Aldridge probably can guess the meaning of Andrew''s words.


    He gave each other steps and said, "Talk about Rooney."


    Obviously, Ribery, Rooney, Ashley Cole.


    Of these three, Ashley Cole is a world-class strength, but he has the main force in Millwall, Andrew does not need to say that.


    Ribery is less than world-class.


    Only Rooney and Aldridge have no world-class kid in his eyes. However, Rooney has been praised as a super first-class star under the excessive praise of the media.


    Chelsea''s willingness to spend 40 million pounds was not amused by Millwall.


    Andrew had a gentle expression and said softly: "To be honest, Millwall gave Rooney a contract extension condition, which is too low."


    "Wait, what you said is too low. Are you comparing other clubs?"


    "Yes, there are many clubs in Europe that are interested in Rooney, but the most sincere are Chelsea and Manchester United. In my opinion, if Millwall cannot retain Rooney, the two most likely target clubs for sale are also these two, because they give The transfer fee is sky-high. The media disclosed Chelsea¡¯s 40 million pound quotation. You should have received it and declined it. Manchester United hasn¡¯t made a deal yet. Ferguson contacted me and asked me to pass on Manchester United¡¯s quotation. When it was successful, the club started to move. If it was not successful, it should not be the case. But I want to say that Rooney¡¯s contract with Millwall is only two years left, and his desire to transfer is very strong. I can¡¯t dissuade him. Stay, because at Millwall, it does not fit his club''s positioning."


    Aldridge sneered.


    "Not compatible? What did he think Millwall was? What did he want, what would I satisfy him? Before asking, did he ask what he had contributed? Did he think he had to join three years ago? Millwall, what did he say to the media when he came to take our weekly salary?"


    Andrew shook his head slightly and sighed: "Aldrich, he is under 20 years old, can you expect him to forgive you? He is eager to be the core, eager to become the world''s superstar in the shortest time, standing in Millwall''s position, I think This is a demand intensity consideration. Millwall owns Henry and Villa and may not be able to meet Rooney¡¯s needs in the next three years. How strong is the club¡¯s demand for him?"


    Aldridge put down the glass, his voice turned, and asked, "He didn''t need you to tell me anything?"


    Andrew froze for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?"


    Aldridge closed his eyes and sighed: "I can forgive the players who did the wrong thing, especially the young players, impulsive, immature, unconsidered, any reason can let me choose to forgive them, but the end of the European Cup To this day, Wayne Rooney hasn¡¯t even said one thing to me. He never thinks he¡¯s wrong, does he? He wants to be a world superstar? Oh, whatever he wants, I hope he can achieve it."


    "You agreed to let Rooney transfer?"


    Aldridge said coldly: "You are already doing my ideological work, let me sell people, do we really want to discuss the way Rooney does not renew the contract, there are two years left in the contract, and the step has been dragged on ?"


    Andrew looked a little ugly, and seemed to face Aldridge with a sigh. He sighed and added: "The initial offer from Manchester United is 30 million pounds. If you don''t want to sell players to Chelsea, you can consult with Manchester United."


    "Tell me about Ribery and Ashley Cole."


    There was silence in the office.


    Aldridge looked down at Andrew who was sitting in a chair and bowed his head silently. After a while, he asked: "Is there anything I can''t say?"


    Andrew raised his head, revealing a helpless look, and said, "They want to go to Chelsea."


    Compared to when talking about Rooney, Andrew does not deny the possibility of Rooney transferring to Chelsea. After all, the transfer fee from Chelsea is indeed unnegligible. However, Andrew can not care about the transfer fee. Maximize the benefits.


    The players themselves don''t care much about the transfer fee, after all, the transfer fee has nothing to do with their income.


    Although Rooney has ambitions or ambitions, he is not very keen on moving to Chelsea. Manchester United urgently needs a striker. Chelsea has more frontline players and a lot of big names before Crespo has yet to leave the team. In addition to Hasselbaink, Good Johnson, and Drogba who just transferred, Rooney would rather go to Manchester United, where the forward is weak. Manchester United is looking for the main force of the forward in the next ten years, and the treatment will not treat Rooney. , Although still not as good as the conditions given by Chelsea.


    But Ribery and Ashley Cole are different.


    It''s all about money and self-treatment.


    The former is insane, and the latter is not afraid of competition. Everywhere, I think I should be the main force of the iron.


    So other clubs are interested in them, even Real Madrid is also interested in Ashley Cole, but looking at the contract treatment given by the other party, Ashley Cole refused. If it was not for money, he would not Leave Millwall.


    In the renewal contract given by Millwall in the summer, the weekly salary is 85,000 pounds, which is already the second-grade salary in the team.


    But compared with the weekly salary of ¡ê120,000 given there, the gap is not small.


    Moreover, players like him, the off-court income is different from the striker, the striker shines a lot, the commercial contract is a lot, and it is difficult and rare for the latter player to become a commercial star.


    There was silence in the office again.


    Andrew looked up at Aldridge, who was leaning back against the table, seeming to suppress his anger in peace.


    Aldridge tried his best to restrain his emotions and said in a deep voice: "You tell Ashley Cole, and in two years, he will get the first grade salary in the team, and wait another two years. After he retired, the salary system made room. Moreover, he returned to the team to play the main role in the summer of 2002. In the first year, the team did not have any other results except for the UEFA Cup. Achievement, but his contribution is still less than other players. Nedved they got the highest salary in the team in ten years..."


    "Aldrich, I know all this, I told him, but he thinks his loss is still very big, because if he goes to Chelsea, the next two years will be equivalent to earning three years of annual salary in Millwall , And two years later, his contract in Chelsea also entered the stage of renewal. He believes that as long as he has no problem with his performance, he will still be able to raise his salary at that time. This is not a simple arithmetic problem, not a calculation of ¡ê30,000 or ¡ê40,000 a week. Consider the benefits of annual salary."


    The repeatedly restrained Aldridge finally couldn''t bear it, waved the glass on the table to the ground and shattered it.


    He glared at Andrew and snarled, "Loss? He thinks his loss is great? Have you told him? Then did you tell him who made him? Who made him around his neck?" Able to hang World Cup, European Cup, UEFA Champions League, Premier League champion medals? It¡¯s me! His boss! Audrey Hall! And his club, Millwall! You¡¯re talking to me except here Weekly salary, money, **** tens of thousands! Have you taken the time to communicate with your players? Did you let their dictionary have the words: Loyalty! Contribute! Thanksgiving! Is there? FUCK!"


    Andrew stood up to face Aldridge, tried to calm him down, and pushed Aldridge into his chest. Andrew stepped back two steps. He looked at Aldridge with surprise, and then responded loudly.


    "Aldrich! This is not the situation I want! I''m just doing my job! How do people all over the world describe me like this? Vampire! That''s right, we are **** vampires! Who made me this way? The person? It¡¯s you! Did you forget? I want to be on your side, and I want to help you! But, unless I don¡¯t do this job, you tell me, what should I do? The world is like this , I can¡¯t change it, nor can human greed! You can¡¯t change it! You¡¯re not Ashley Cole, his net worth is less than one percent of you! If he goes to Chelsea, he can earn at least 1,000 more in the next five years Ten thousand pounds! What does that stand for? How many luxury houses? How many sports cars? How many luxury goods? What can I say? What can you say? Oh, you would say stay in Millwall and join me to get the honor of the green world , The championship trophy, enjoy the glory of wearing a medal, okay! But, from his stand, have you thought about it? The left hand is 10 million pounds, and the right hand is a worthless trophy, and behind him, he already has The trophies and medals you mentioned, FUCK! 100 people choose, at least 99 will choose 10 million pounds on the left! I don¡¯t want to! I don¡¯t want to! I also hope he is a noble player, I also hope he It¡¯s a selfless player, I hope he¡¯s the second Nedved, the second Larson, fucking, he¡¯s not, he¡¯s not! He¡¯s my employer, I¡¯m working for him Service, if I can''t help him make more money, what do I count? Aldrich, what do you want me to do? If you think I didn''t help you, I betrayed you, I can abandon my current career, But you should understand that with or without me, the end of the matter is the same. The difference is that the person standing in front of you is not your brother."


    Andrew burst into tears.


    He couldn''t look directly at Aldridge''s angry look, and couldn''t bear the tit-for-tat situation between his brothers.


    Aldridge was sober when he saw Andrew¡¯s painful expression and his tears.


    Yes, no matter whether or not Andrew, things will not change fundamentally, Andrew does not have the right to decide, and his duties and obligations, just to make players earn more money, not even the honor on the football field.


    Aldridge walked over, embraced Andrew with open arms, and murmured guiltily: "Sorry, sorry, sorry..."


    Outside the office door, someone eavesdropped against the wall for a long time.

 Chapter 1033： Heaven is full of bogey, humanity is full of bogey

    Although Ronaldinho brought his family to settle in London, he will return to Brazil during the holidays because Brazil does not have the paparazzi reporters who follow the streets of the fleet, and life and entertainment can be relaxed.


    This summer, there are not only the European Cup, but also the America¡¯s Cup, but South American super teams such as Brazil do not pay much attention to the America¡¯s Cup. Just like in Asia, super teams usually focus on training, and Ronaldinho is not called. He shined in the America¡¯s Cup five years ago, and Kaka was called to play the America¡¯s Cup. At the same time, Brazil¡¯s talents also emerged from Adriano, Fabiano, Maicon, and Cesare. Et al.


    Ronaldinho returned to the team on time on the training day. In casual clothes, he did not change his clothes to prepare for the afternoon training. He was carrying a large casual bag with souvenirs. Brazil is rich in gems. He deliberately prepared two strings of pendants for gifts Aldrich¡¯s two sons came to Aldrich¡¯s office.


    When he approached the office, he heard Aldridge''s roar, so he began to eavesdrop by the door. When he heard no sound, he looked inside and saw Aldridge hugged Andrew. Apologizing picture.


    Ronaldinho turned his head somberly.


    It was almost time for training.


    Millwall¡¯s personnel were very irregular.


    Players like Larsson, Nedved, etc. who participated in the European Cup will have a holiday extended by one week. Ronaldo will also go to the Olympic Games. Kaka and Silva also went to the America¡¯s Cup. Rehabilitation, the first team looks like a residual team.


    The players casually chatted with each other on the court, some relaxed and happy, and others seemed to be very worried.


    For example, Ribery, Robben and Ashley Cole, who were supposed to be on holiday, the two of them returned unexpectedly according to the team training time, and did not continue to enjoy the holiday.


    Like Rooney, he didn¡¯t come back. I didn¡¯t know if he was afraid to see Aldridge or some other reason.


    Ashley Cole and Robben''s ideas coincided.


    Transfer attitude is relatively tough.


    To put it bluntly is the problem of earning more and earning less, and Millwall can''t satisfy them, so he will leave with determination.


    However, the means of seeking to leave should not be too fierce, take a safe posture and not make trouble!


    In order not to become their ¡°provoking right and wrong¡± in the media, as much as possible to create a favorable public opinion environment for them.


    It is because they have not been able to receive fair treatment because they "work hard and complain."


    It''s just that their ideas were completely disrupted by Ronaldinho''s sudden killing.


    Ronaldinho came to the training ground and accelerated his pace, rushing towards Ashley Cole.


    Ashley Cole was still surprised that Ronaldinho did not change his clothes, came to the stadium in casual clothes, and wanted to remind the other party, but he saw Ronaldinho dragged his casual bag down and hit Ashley. Cole.


    "Do you still have a conscience? Where is the boss, I''m sorry for you? You can be a World Cup champion without a boss. You can make so much money now, it''s your boss! The world''s first defender? I Bah! Without a boss, how old are you? The conscience let the dog eat?"


    Ronaldinho rushed to beat Ashley Cole!


    Ashley Cole''s face was ugly, and he didn''t avoid the first casual bag attack. He pushed Ronaldinho away and shouted, "Don''t worry about anything! It''s none of your business!"


    Ronaldinho chased him and said angrily: "I don''t care about anything! Just **** want to beat you! Asshole! Let you have nothing to do! Let you go to Chelsea, what are you doing there?"


    Ribery, who was on the sidelines, said suddenly: "Chelsea is also very strong now, and the lineup is very strong."


    Ronaldinho returned to Weier, turned his head to look at the scar face, and sneered: "There is still an ungrateful bastard! Do you believe what you said just now? It seems that Millwall is almost as powerful as Chelsea, so do you want Go to Chelsea?"


    "me¡­¡­"


    Unlike Ashley Cole, who dared to talk to Ronaldinho, Ribery had no confidence to fight against the Millwall superstars, which was a bit of a slight sense of sight.


    On the contrary, Robben, who performed well in the European Cup, said: "What are you qualified to say about him here? What problem does Ashley want to go to Chelsea?"


    "Go to your mother! You selfish ghost on this court, shabbi, it seems that you can only dribble the ball with your own dribble, but you can''t score, you have become more ambitious after playing the European Cup!"


    "Don''t you scold me?"


    "Who made you blame?"


    The atmosphere in the training ground was fierce, and after Robben and Ronaldinho detonated a new round of disputes, the fists and feet were mixed together, and the Ribery who was pulled was also punched, and then the scene completely became confusion.


    Alonso, Villa, and Drosilah helped Ronaldinho, and as a result, they also suffered a lot of black foot punches. The young and arrogant were unable to hold back, and they became a big dogfight...


    The coaches are not present, and there is no big brother who can hold the scene. Poor 38-year-old Palyuka wants to separate the two gangs by the old and the old, but the result is no one who is pushed down to the ground, young Moutinho, Vero Suo, Baines, Ram Ramos were stunned and did not dare to participate. Pedretti, Ramor, Barzali, and Neil knew to persuade in the past, in fact, they helped Ronaldinho. , Vaguely, chaos, turned into a group fight, so as to bully less.


    Everyone understands people and can understand the thoughts of teammates in just a few words, so they are strongly loyal to Millwall and take advantage of the opportunity to simply clean up the "Betrayal" meal, either let them be honest, or miss the opportunity today. I guess there is no chance in the future...


    Millwall is today''s training day. There are naturally paved-back paparazzi outside the training base. After the end of the European Cup, it has become a low season for football news. As for the America''s Cup and the Olympic men''s football, they are not very noticeable.


    The outside reporters actually only wanted to take a few pictures of Millwall''s returning star, and they just wrote a little news on the job.


    But I did not expect to see a player on the training ground fight, and it was a large-scale melee. The reporters were shocked first, and then all were excited, risking entering the police station and crossing the wall and running into training blatantly. The scene was shot with a camera immediately, and the scene was chaotic for a while.


    Aldrich''s office, at this time he stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, at this height position where he can see the training base, has always been his observation point of controlling the team.


    He saw the turmoil on the training ground. He called the coaching staff and asked them to calm the chaos. His eyes left the training ground and cast into the vast sky, his eyes blurred.


    The last decade ended with glory.


    The new decade began with chaos.


    In today''s chaos, Aldrich knows that he is to blame. Some hidden dangers are buried by himself, and some are unavoidable.


    If Millwall and Chelsea are not deadly enemies, perhaps, even if the same thing happens, the situation will not become as intense as it is now.


    He should also understand that a team cannot hold 100 geniuses, and even 22 geniuses with the same role are impossible!


    His "precautions" are never too late, as the Buddhists put it: when people are on the lotus stand, if they don''t move, they are Buddhas, and when they move, they are enchanted.


    If Robben and Ribery were not introduced at the time, they would have no effect on Millwall today. Instead, they buried the disaster factor, even if Rooney was not needed.


    But perhaps it is just the old hardships that have been used to, and I always woke up to wake up and have an important star to submit a transfer application.


    Only when he has perfected the player configuration itself, will he pursue more.


    Heaven is bogey, and humanity is bogey!


    ...


    A cat-and-mouse story was staged in the training ground. Those journalists who kept avoiding security guards with their cameras ran away after seeing a large number of Millwall coaches rushing out to curb the development of the situation. Even if some people were eventually caught by the security guards, the reporters Just run to the wall and throw the camera to the other side of the wall. A colleague takes the camera away and sacrifices the ego indifferently.


    The coaches were also stunned. Unexpectedly, the atmosphere inside the team has always been peaceful. Today, a rogue group fight incident comparable to a street alley broke out.


    Ashley Cole is the worst, er, seems to be crying.


    The training shirt he was wearing was pale yellow, which had become very dirty, with dirt on it, and countless crisscross footprints, and the left half of his face was blue and purple.


    The most brave Ronaldinho also wore his color and his lips were broken, but his momentum was still sturdy and amazing. It is estimated that group fights dominated the number of people. Especially when Ashley Cole''s eyes were wet, he was crying and cursing. Grumbling loudly: "You **** cry at Stamford Bridge!"


    Robben, who was buried in the crowd, was dragged out and walked directly in the direction of the parking lot. The coach who came to ask him about his injury was pushed away by him. It seems that he does not intend to look back, but he may not pay attention. When he arrived, his socks and training shirt were rotten, and his ragged clothes looked like they had been blasted by the wheel.


    Ribery sat on the ground, covering his face with one hand, and digging into the entrance with the other hand, with a painful expression, a tooth that was crumbling in his mouth was pulled out with blood...


    Ronaldinho just took off his clothes and wiped the corners of his mouth. He and other teammates who participated in the battle were basically not injured.


    Millwall was training on the first day of the new season because of the uproar in the team.


    The unexpected news quickly spread throughout England.


    Millwall made disciplinary punishment in the team in the evening, and Ronaldinho was speared with a fine of 200,000 pounds. The other participants were each paid a week.


    However, Aldridge later passed Andrew and gave Ronaldinho a new car worth about ¡ê500,000.


    From the next day, Ashley Cole, Ribery, and Robben did not appear on Millwall''s training ground.


    Fleet Street naturally began to follow Millwall''s storm within the team and carried out key reports.


    The fanatic Lions organization, led by "Ashley Cole", jointly called for "Robben and Ribery" to get out of the initial number of people, and later developed to go outside their houses for demonstrations and insults, and burned jerseys. Excessive behavior such as avatars.


    It''s definitely Chelsea who is laughing, and other Millwall competitors.


    Aldrich''s time to make a decision.


    Except for Ashley Cole, he can care about other players who want to leave.


    He believes that as long as the new king of the mad lion he is correct does not let him down, then Millwall still has nothing to fear!


    Volume 11 Double Blue Fight

 Chapter 1034： Im afraid its not good enough

    Sunset West Mountain, idyllic beauty on the outskirts of England is particularly beautiful in the twilight.


    People of the world who are dissatisfied with the former "British Empire" often scolded in their hearts when visiting these beautiful sceneries: The Britons of Gou Day moved all the heavily polluted heavy industries to the third world, and they harmed the poor people. They do well and build their own country. Pay special attention to environmental protection!


    In the suburbs, a newly-opened Mercedes-Benz sedan drove on the idyllic roads. Two young teenagers enjoyed speed and passion in the car. The teenager named Messi, who was just 17 years old at the end of June, and Played on behalf of Argentina''s low-level national team.


    This Mercedes-Benz car is a birthday gift from his boss. He likes it very much. The Millwall youth team has already started training, but he will drive out for a drive on the rest day.


    In the co-pilot position, teenagers of similar age to Messi stood up in casual clothes, yelling in the wind.


    "WOO... Messi, I have to buy a car like this in two years. It''s so cool to come out!"


    Messi, who smiled while driving in the car, replied casually: "Yes, when you sign a contract, you can entrust Mr. Andrew Hall to buy one for you."


    The young man standing in the co-pilot seat enjoying the cool breeze sweeping the whole body is Aguero.


    He wanted to agree, but his face suddenly felt sad.


    The burden on him is much heavier than Messi, there are too many siblings, and since their family came to England, he roughly calculated the money Aldridge paid for improving the lives of their families. 10 million pounds!


    You know, his brothers and sisters are all in prestigious schools, in order to have a good future in the future, relying on the meager salary of the youth team before Aguero, he can at least feed himself.


    Aldrich changed the fate of many people.


    Yes, maybe like Aguero, Messi, Ronaldo, Villa. Their football talents are innate. As long as there are no major emergencies, they can definitely stand out. The key to the problem is that their family can Can''t wait so long, wait for them to change their family destiny.


    Aguero knew from his heart that without Aldridge''s generosity, even if he really had achievements in football in the future, how would his brothers and sisters'' lives change in these years?


    Aguero shook his head, not thinking about the slightly heavy things for him, he shouted in the direction of the sun sinking into the horizon: "I must become a world superstar! Messi, let''s be together!"


    Messi tilted his head and grinned, Aguero shouted tiredly, and watching Messi''s driving posture was a bit cool. He was very itchy. He sat down and said to Messi: "Let me drive for a while."


    Driving is sometimes very tiring, keeping a posture for a long time, Messi also wanted to stand in the co-pilot position like Aguero blowing, so he stopped the car and the two changed places.


    The two learned to drive together and used De Rossi''s car.


    Starting the car, Aguero smiled and said, "Hmm, walk!"


    The Mercedes-Benz was racing all the way, Messi did not shout like Aguero, he prefers to show a calm expression in the strong wind brought by the speed, and enjoy everything silently.


    Just as the two were about to drive back to the City of London, Messi suddenly lowered his head and shouted to Aguero: "Well, there is a police car!"


    As soon as the words fell, the police car passing by them turned around behind them and sounded the siren.


    Of course, Aguero will not step on the accelerator to speed up the chase after fleeing here. He honestly stopped the car, and the police car then parked behind them. Aguero realized what he wanted and wanted to put Messi. The position changed, but it was too late, and the traffic police on patrol had come.


    The policeman looked in his thirties, but his stomach was scary. He walked to the car and glanced away.


    Aguero and Messi turned to smile at the police at the same time.


    "How old are you guys?"


    The reason why the patrol officer stopped their car was not because they were driving in violation of the regulations. It was just that the police noticed the appearance of the driver when passing by in front of them. It was too tender!


    Messi 17, Aguero also had a birthday in June, 16.


    However, they look no different from the 14-15 teenager.


    The short stature is one, and the beautiful appearance is the second.


    The police suspected that the two of them secretly drove the family car out to play, but did not maliciously speculate that they were car thieves.


    "I am 17 years old!"


    "I am 16 years old!"


    Messi and Aguero answered the police''s questions very honestly, and then hurriedly pulled out their ID cards to look at each other.


    The police held their ID cards to verify it, and suddenly the expression became a little weird. He recalled carefully for a moment, and suddenly said: "Eh? Are you two Millwall players?"


    Messi and Aguero also froze for a moment, then Aguero replied: "Yes!"


    "Hahaha, I said why you are so familiar, my son and you played on the court two years ago."


    "Hahaha, is it? Which team is your son?"


    "The Lambeth Junior Team, Millwall hosted the U15 Charity Cup at the time, and my son played on behalf of the Lambeth Junior Team.


    "Sorry, I have no impression of this team."


    Aguero said straightly, Messi secretly kicked him in the co-pilot position.


    Aguero responded with embarrassment and said: "However, I think your son must be good at playing football."


    Unexpectedly, the policeman said with a smile: "My son is a goalkeeper. That game, you and him, you scored 21 goals together, really cruel! My son went home crying all the way from the end of the game... ¡­"


    "Ha, huh... sorry."


    Aguero couldn''t squeeze a smile, so he bowed his head and said sorry.


    The police did not take it seriously, saying: "My son was only 13 years old at the time, and now he is much stronger than that time. It was also the game that stimulated him, er, change the direction to encourage it."


    Messi said quickly: "This is good, this is good, losing is normal, normal."


    The policeman shook his head and sighed: "It''s right to put it elsewhere, yeah, it''s normal to lose, but the Millwall people say this is really awkward. For Millwall, it''s not normal to lose. Good Yes, take out your driver''s license and see.


    After the chatter is over, the police is still in the business.


    There is no problem with the age of the two boys.


    The minimum age for a driver''s license in the UK is 16 years old, and it will increase to 17 years old in the future. Although it is difficult, it does not mean that it is absolutely impossible.


    Although these two short teenagers look very tender, their age should be no problem.


    Messi quickly handed his driver''s license to the police, while Aguero left the steering wheel and put it on his lap, looking into the petrified state.


    The policeman opened the driver''s license from Messi and smiled, "Is it wrong?"


    Messi was stunned, took back his driver''s license certificate and looked down at himself. He was puzzled and said, "Yes, it''s mine."


    The policeman pointed at Aguero and said, "He is driving, what do you give me your driver''s license? Of course I want to see his driver''s license."


    Aguero lifted his petrified state and raised his head to make an expression of prayer to the police, crying without tears: "Uncle police, I, I haven''t tested my driver''s license, but I have no problem with posture and technology. You saw it just now, This car is his, I just drove a few kilometers, and I will change back with him now, you, don¡¯t you see it? Or, next time your son plays with us, we try to score as few goals as possible, Ok?"


    Messi stared at Aguero with wide eyes. The two of them could be said to be small friends, but they were not sticking together after eating and drinking. Lhasa thought that this product should have a driver''s license. Unexpectedly, it was a pit!


    The policeman shook his head with a smile and said, "It''s my turn to say sorry to you, lad, you two get off the car. I''m going to call someone to the trailer. You go to the police station to take notes."


    Messi and Aguero got out of the car together. Messi held his head in disbelief. Aguero took out the phone and called Andrew. This is really not to be confused.


    At night, Aguero, sitting in the police station, was in a bad mood. He was considered to be driving without a license. Then, he could not get his driver''s license for two years. Messi''s car had to be submitted and fined.


    What surprised Messi and Aguero was that the person who came to the police station was not Andrew, but Aldridge.


    It happened that when Aguero called Andrew, Aldridge and Andrew were at a friend party.


    Burt and Earl traveled with Arthur, and Ewen took Bonnie to accompany Aldridge in London. However, because of the recent upset by the paparazzi, Aldridge simply let their mother The two women also went on vacation. He left home, worked during the day, and went to meet with friends at night.


    Coming to the police station is just a journey of formulating.


    Soon after the night came, the lantern was at the beginning, and Audridge came out of the police station and followed the two boys.


    Messi and Aguero were uneasy.


    After following Aldridge in his car, Aldridge suddenly sat in the driver''s seat without moving, and became distracted.


    He doesn''t know where to go.


    Aguero leaned out his head in the back and said in frustration: "Boss, I''m sorry."


    "Huh? What?"


    "It''s causing you trouble. I know that the club''s affairs have been upsetting you recently. We''re also adding trouble to you. I''m sorry."


    Millwall has fallen into a troubled autumn recently.


    The turmoil in that team''s group fight kicked off a series of consecutive reactions.


    Ashley Cole became a traitor and public enemy in the mouth of the fans. It only existed in the club to deal with things. Once it spreads among the fan organization groups, it will inevitably make things worse. At the same time, Robben¡¯s father publicly denounced Milwaukee. Well, Ribery also submitted a transfer application, but it was Ronnie¡¯s thing that was not on the cusp of the storm, and turned into an undercurrent.


    Aldrich turned his head and smiled at Aguero. He reached out and rubbed his head, saying, "It''s just a trivial matter. I''m even more daring at your age. You might not believe it, and I forged documents when I was 14 years old. It is convenient for me to enter and leave some places that are not open to the public.


    "what?"


    Messi and Aguero were taken aback.


    The outside world only knows that Aldridge traveled around Europe before the age of 18, but did not know the details. In fact, if Aldridge''s private diary is public, it will inevitably cause him a lot of trouble, because it is full of many illegal acts.


    Driving without a license?


    Put it on Aldridge and did it at the age of 13.


    It''s just that he has matured his mind and he still has to educate him about what Aguero is doing today.


    Remind him to pay attention in the future, to wait for two years to "exclude the ban" to take a driver''s license, and promised to give him a good car.


    In Aguero''s push-off, Aldridge started the car, he still didn''t know where to go.


    At this moment Messi''s stomach grumbled. He lowered his head in shame and whispered, "We haven''t eaten dinner yet."


    Aguero turned his head to look at Messi, his eyes seemed to be saying: Why are you saying "we" when your stomach is crying?


    Messi stared back at him, his eyes seeming to say: My new car was not buckled without saying you!


    Aguero defeated.


    As many years ago, Aldridge took Messi and Aguero to high-end restaurants in the city. He had dinner, but when he saw these two teenagers, his mood seemed to change, so he ordered some food.


    Although Messi and Aguero¡¯s incomes are much higher, both of them are very sensible, and the money is handed over to their families to manage, so like the number one high-end restaurant in London, they are occasionally brought by Aldridge except when they were young. Opening up, either Zede Rossi, Alonso.


    In the training base on weekdays, the food is not bad, but after a few years, it will be tired and crooked.


    Watching them gobble up, Aldridge always smiled.


    When the food was almost ready, Messi suddenly looked at Aldridge and asked, "Boss, is the club really dangerous now?"


    Aguero also stopped, swallowing the food in his mouth, and stared at Aldridge seriously.


    Aldridge shrugged and said with a smile: "It''s not as exaggerated as the outside world said. Most of the newspapers are sensational and dangerous. Indeed, many newspapers have recently used words like life and death to describe our team. Reality? A high issue, like, even if all the Millwall first team players leave, it¡¯s okay for us to buy another 25 players with good strength, but our record is definitely not comparable to last season. People call it dangerous The meaning that we want to express is whether we can maintain the strongest dominance in Europe and the strongest in the world. Once you can¡¯t maintain it, you can imagine that the competitive landscape of European football has changed dramatically."


    "Can we?"


    Aguero asked stupefiedly.


    Aldridge laughed: "Don''t dare to say this casually. Work hard. If you don''t work hard, you won''t get anything. In fact, the outside world misleads the public to confuse the core concept. A scandal occurred in the team, but it does not mean that we are in the field of sports. Competitiveness will change dramatically, just like, I have many shortcomings, but you cannot use my shortcomings as a handle to criticize my level of coaching. I will speak swearing, but it has nothing to do with my level of coaching."


    Aguero nodded, seemingly incomprehensible.


    Aldridge smiled at them: "It''s not your turn to worry about these things."


    Aguero was full, he lowered his head and whispered, "Boss, but I always worry about one thing."


    "what?"


    "I''m afraid I don''t deserve Millwall and will not be Millwall''s main force in the future."


    Aldridge smiled, intoxicating smile.

 Chapter 1035： Newcomers

    Since the outbreak of large-scale group fights on the Millwall training ground, the Millwall team is actually very quiet.


    In the past, Ronaldinho, who did not participate in the status dispute in the locker room, had a marked change in attitude when several big brothers had not returned to the team.


    His anger rushed to the crown, similar to brotherhood.


    Seeing Andrew sandwiched between Ashley Cole''s transfer and facing Aldridge, and seeing Aldridge''s disappointment with the player''s lack of loyalty, he didn''t want to see this scene, but he saw it, so, He hit Ashley Cole, and in his heart, it might just be the impulse to start his brother.


    It''s not whether teammates are loyal to Millwall.


    Every year, there are people leaving the team. Some people come and leave, and some people keep a good relationship. There are also many people. Not everyone who leaves has to bear the infamy of the traitor.


    Ronaldinho is holding his breath now.


    Someone has disappointed Aldridge.


    There can be no second one, the third one goes to hurt Aldridge''s heart.


    This kind of protection consciousness between brothers is very strong in Ronaldinho''s heart, just like he can''t face the disappointment that Aldridge cast when he was slack.


    Starting from the second day of training, Ronaldinho is not the captain, but he has taken on the responsibility of the captain. Apart from training seriously, he will also remind his teammates to cheer.


    It''s ridiculous to say that he encourages his teammates to come and go simply: we can''t be underestimated by outsiders! Let those betrayers regret it!


    In the summer, the players who have the task of the national team game have also returned to the team.


    Nedved, Larson, and Schneider returned to the team early. They saw the news and returned to the team three days in advance. They did not say a word and did not hold a team meeting. They participated in the training step by step, using sweat and action to drive The spirit of the whole team.


    Kaka and Silva returned to London with the Copa America title. Kaka and his father were a little unhappy. Before, his father had always wanted him to join Chelsea, because Chelsea gave more money, Kaka was not a rich second In the new generation, the family is the middle class, and it is not at the same level as the rich and the rich.


    Like Kaka''s father, Robben''s father, and even Messi''s father, their reputation in the football world is not good, but Aldridge understands it.


    There is a saying that tiger venom does not eat children.


    Being a father, what harms your child?


    Football is a high-risk industry. It''s hard to guarantee that one day will not be a sudden injury and he will die in his career. What is wrong with taking advantage of the opportunity to earn more money?


    No matter how hard you work, you can earn ten to fifteen years of money by playing football, and you can make big money, usually not more than ten years.


    Kaka¡¯s will was firm. Eventually, he persuaded his father, and he firmly believed that if he came out on top in Millwall, don¡¯t look at his weekly salary as high as Chelsea¡¯s, but with Millwall¡¯s business platform. He is fully capable of becoming a commercial darling. Kaka is very smart. If he didn¡¯t play football, he showed his talents in the field of mathematics, so he can convince his father to calculate such interest considerations, and he also believes At that time, he took the risk of signing his Aldridge and would not go back on his word.


    Unexpectedly, Ronaldo also returned to the team on time. The European Cup overdrawn his physical fitness. The final defeat caused him to be psychologically frustrated. In the ensuing Olympic men''s football match, the Portuguese Olympic football team he led was out early. Only ranked 14th.


    With Nesta, Bute, Henry and others returning to the team one after another, Millwall officially set sail for the new season.


    No one returned to the team to discuss the group fight, as if it had never happened.


    The outside world is fiercely discussing, based on this group fight incident, to discuss divergently what will happen to Millwall in the future.


    Clamorous!


    It was a rigorous newspaper, and the Times published an article that surprised Audridge.


    The author is David Miller.


    If a reporter tracks and observes a person for nearly 10 years, then the behavioral inertia and pattern of the observed person will be penetrated by more than 80%.


    The world will study Millwall, and countless reporters are also staring at Aldridge, but the entry point is different.


    David Miller wrote in his column: "Quantitative change produces qualitative change, which is a universal dialectical relationship in the development of things. In the football world, many failed teams present qualitative change to the outside world when disaster strikes. As a result, the catastrophe factor and the qualitative change process are always covered up and self-deception tells the outside world that there is no problem.


    The topic returns to Millwall, which has recently become the focus. Isn''t anyone looking at Millwall''s history over the past decade? One of the characteristics of Sir Hall¡¯s coaching team that has not been noticed by the outside world is that his demanding details are almost perfect. This detail refers to the internal stability of the team! In the past ten years, when there are any negative events in the team, Sir Hall will always clear the disaster factors out of the team, to prevent the formation of disasters, and the germination of disaster seeds. Sir Hall knows what he needs and what Millwall needs. He needs powerful fighters to sweep the strong enemy for Millwall. There are two important factors. First, the player''s strength, which is usually the most concerned by the outside world. , As Ashley Cole was hailed as the world¡¯s first left back after the European Cup, but the second question arises, if Ashley Cole is in conflict and does not want to play for Millwall again, then Can he still play the number one role in the Millwall team?


    Dissatisfaction will be expressed through words and deeds. This is the most normal thing. Leave Ashley Cole and leave a person who is dissatisfied with Millwall. Is it a disadvantage for Millwall? I can make a bold prediction, players who want to leave Millwall will definitely leave, there will not be any soap operas, because there are countless players in the world who are willing to play for Sir Hall and are willing to wear Millwall¡¯s shirt , They hope to succeed in Millwall, hope to become a world-class star under the Hall of Sir, and those players who are dissatisfied, have not met the criteria of Millwall''s employment in the eyes of Sir Hall, even some people It looks very powerful! It''s like you can''t fall in love with a beauty or a handsome guy who doesn''t love you and feel romantic, unless you tell yourself that the other party will do everything for me.


    If my previous prediction is correct, then it will be clear at a glance how much Millwall¡¯s strength has been affected in the new season. Millwall¡¯s foundation will not be shaken by the current storm, because Ashley Cole is not Luo. Nardinho, not Henry, Nedved, and even Alonso will be more worrying if they fall into a transfer turmoil. Don¡¯t forget that Millwall also has a good performance in the aging German team. The full-back, Ram, the German player, besides worrisome confrontation, his technical talent is obviously stronger than Ashley Cole.


    Millwall¡¯s grim situation in the new season, we don¡¯t know exactly what the external pressures are, but within them, the first is the natural law of the development of football clubs, the aging of the team¡¯s age structure, renewal, second, now The storm caused people to ignore Southgate, who has been able to announce his withdrawal from Millwall¡¯s main lineup after a serious injury. Nesta needs a new partner. This link is the focus of the lineup. If this problem can be solved, I I believe that Millwall¡¯s strength will not fluctuate greatly, because they have the peak of Henry, Ronaldinho, Nesta, and Alonso, De Rossi, who have stood the test last season. There was C Ronaldo who was baptized in the contest..."


    Write a column comment on Aldridge''s team for nearly a decade, and the press conference and Aldridge are also commonplace. David Miller is well aware of Aldridge''s style of behavior, and Aldridge is not surprised.


    It is hard to say that the formation of this style of work is the product of deliberate thoughts, emotion and reason, each half.


    Emotionally, the twisted melons are not sweet. In the club, they have to face the players day and night. The hearts of the people are separated from each other. They know that there is a must, but they ignore them pretendingly. No one is uncomfortable.


    Intellectually, Aldridge knows that the emotional outbursts of players will be much stronger than ordinary people. When the wind and the water are smooth, the relationship is safe. When the adversity is in trouble, it will explode on a large scale. Can''t stop it either.


    Millwall did not reach the edge of the mountains and waters, and there was no need to worry about the sky.


    Put it on Aldridge, an arrogant person, if Millwall would really be missing someone who can''t move, then he can''t move without him!


    The preparation strategy for the new season was hasty, Ashley Cole, Robben, Ribery, Rooney, and the four have been kicked out of the training team because of their transfer operations. Of course, they are not willing to It''s time for the training.


    Larson''s appearances in the new season may be further reduced. Whether it is Ribery or Robben, there will be more opportunities. However, now that he has lost two frontcourt wing players, Odri? counted the number of strikers. The reserves on the ground are quite stretched.


    Henry, Villa, Ronaldo, Larson, Lamore, Ronaldinho.


    For Millwall, who is fighting around, this reserve is obviously not enough, especially the lack of the main Indian wingers. Ronaldinho cannot be counted as a pure winger. Ramall has become a panacea. Larsson¡¯s impact has declined since last season. Most of the time it is to make wedding dresses for others as green leaves.


    In the first warm-up match, Henry was accidentally injured again. It may be that the rest after the European Cup was not enough. Aldridge sent a temper with the medical team in the team, thinking that they neglected to track and observe Henry''s physical condition.


    Then, Aldridge went to the youth team for a lap and brought Messi into the first team.


    At the same time, in the transfer market, he also needs to buy a substitute, willing to play for Millwall''s substitute, and a substitute with strength.

 Chapter 1036： No fear of the world

    The first day of August.


    Aldridge ended his work today, drove home, and just parked the car in the garage. His phone rang, and when he picked it up, Ferguson called.


    "Aldrich, Rooney''s transfer fee, you say a price that will allow us to reach an agreement, too high, Manchester United gives up, it is appropriate, we will finalize the transfer, now it is not possible to drag on like this?"


    Aldrich walked into the living room, and his home was deserted. He was alone, and he was lying on the couch directly, and said to the phone: "Chelsea is willing to pay 45 million pounds."


    "Will you sell Rooney to a dead enemy?"


    "I am ready to sell Ashley Cole to Chelsea."


    "How do you explain to the fans?"


    "The fans asked him to leave as soon as possible, but where to go is related to my personal interests, because I have to give someone an explanation, causing me to lose millions, even tens of millions of pounds? I cultivated him, I achieved him, Then, when I renounced him, wouldn¡¯t I be allowed to maximize my benefits?"


    "What else did Millwall talk to Manchester United?!"


    "Because I care about my interests, I don''t care about it, and I can accept the difference within 5 million."


    "That means that Manchester United is going to pay 40 million pounds?!"


    "Your initial offer is 30 million pounds, plus another 10 million pounds to buy a main striker for the next fifteen years. Is it a loss? Now that Henry is injured, if I leave Rooney and give him the position of the main striker, you think he still Will you make a transfer?"


    Ferguson remained silent for a long time, and finally said goodbye.


    The next day, Millwall and Manchester United reached a transfer agreement, and Rooney transferred to Manchester United for 40 million pounds.


    After the transfer was announced, it did not cause much sensation except for the amount of the transfer fee.


    No one doubts Rooney''s strength, but Millwall has a better one, it''s that simple.


    Another day later, Millwall and Chelsea officials announced that three Millwall players would transfer to Chelsea, and the transfer fee was never revealed.


    Ashley Cole, Robben, and Ribery turned to Stamford Bridge.


    After exploring inside information on Fleet Street, they finally learned the money spent by Chelsea for this terrifying transfer between the dead enemies at Stamford Bridge.


    The transfer fee reached a staggering 70 million pounds.


    Since then, these three players have been carrying the infamy of the mad lion traitor for a day at Stamford Bridge.


    Abu is mad with joy!


    However, Mourinho was not happy.


    The boss stuffed him a lot, a lot of players!


    A lineup that exceeds his expectations!


    At the same time, Joe Cole was dug to Stamford Bridge.


    Chelsea''s lineup is unprecedentedly strong, but also unprecedentedly bloated!


    As a result, many players such as Good Johnson, Hasselbaink, Crespo, etc. were cleared out of the team by sale or loan.


    On August 4, Millwall held an official press conference.


    Aldrich introduced Millwall''s only signing in the summer to the media.


    The reporters who heard the news had speculated.


    Before they speculated about the future of the crazy lion in the new season, in fact, when the transfer of dust settled, as David Miller said, Millwall¡¯s soul was not shaken at all.


    Robben, Ribery, Rooney, limited to the discussion within the Millwall team, they have not played an important role in the past, can be described as a very weak presence.


    The reason for the sensation is that two of them left and fled to the dead enemy Chelsea.


    The point is that Ashley Cole''s departure, the outside world is expected to have a disastrous loss to Millwall.


    In addition to Southgate¡¯s serious injury, at his age, it can be seen that even if he is healed in the future, it will not be possible to occupy a place in the mad lion. Unless the mad lion lacks a major general, Southgate will be ordered to carry the scalp and guard against the heavy burden. .


    So Millwall''s recruitment work, the outside world guess must be to fill the back line.


    Central defender or full-back.


    However, when the new aid came to power, shook hands with Aldridge and hugged, and then received the new jersey from Aldridge, the reporters were shocked.


    Millwall''s new aid is a winger!


    Moreover, it is an old acquaintance!


    Who?


    Glenshare, who will have his 27th birthday in a week!


    After easing the surprise, the reporters were relieved that this signing also confirmed the outside world''s speculation about Henry''s injury, which must be not very optimistic.


    Aldridge said with a smile on the stage: "Today Millwall announced the arrival of new aid, Jesper Glenshare, and I welcome his return on behalf of the team. Nothing is more exciting than this moment. As the head coach, I am very happy to work with Jesper again."


    Glenshire, who had left Millwall to pursue his dream, now he is back here.


    On the stage, when asked by the reporter why he would return to Millwall, Glennaire solemnly replied: "When I called, I asked if I was interested in putting on the mad lion''s shirt, I answered him without thinking and told him, no problem! Absolutely! When I moved away, I said that I thought I could not contribute to this great team, so I chose to leave, now , The boss said that the team needs me, then I will come back, as long as Millwall needs me, no matter where I am, I will come back!"


    About the role played in the team.


    Glenn Charles said frankly: "Tieri is injured and the mad lion needs to increase the thickness of the striker, so I come back to play a substitute and hope that my future performance on the court will satisfy the boss, I am no longer young Over the years, I have learned a lot and accumulated a lot of experience. I know a team needs a role like me, which can not only contribute to the team, but also help young players. I am very happy. Invite me to take on such a role, play as a substitute, no problem, the boss understands my strength and characteristics, there are many teammates and friends I used to know, I believe I can integrate into the team as quickly as possible, and then This great team contributes my strength."


    At the end of the press conference, the photo of Aldridge and Glenn Charles became the cover headline of the major football media the following day.


    The jerseys of the new jersey of Glenn Carr were just put on the shelf and were sold out by fans of the crazy lion.


    Backed by the incident where three players defected from Stamford Bridge, Glennshire was called by Aldridge on a phone call and immediately returned to the mad lion to wait for the dispatch, making the mad lion fans more like him.


    The return of Grenchar is not as difficult as imagined.


    Because Aldrich knows clearly that he wants a substitute he can fight for, Messi is only 17 years old, and due to the influence of innate physiological diseases, acquired protection is very important. In an important stage of growth, giving him some opportunities to exercise is Yes, but not as a stable substitute.


    Grenchar will be a transitional transition role, similar to Ramall in the current formation.


    They may not have a very strong sense of existence, but without it, the team''s operation will inevitably not be smooth enough, and the head coach will have a headache when it is needed.


    After the return of Glenn Charles, Aldridge''s first-team lineup in the new season has also reached the expected completeness.


    It is impossible for a super first-class team to lose more than one main force in a season. The departure of one or two main forces will have an impact, but it will not shake the core. The departure of Southgate is planned, but it is too sudden, Ashley Cole was an absolute accident.


    However, the chain reaction was that Aldridge''s words to Ram last season began to materialize.


    Come mad lion to fight for the world''s first!


    Ram will fill the vacancy after Ashley Cole left.


    Southgate was seriously injured, Nesta''s partner, Aldridge chose to put Tiago Silva in position. He focused on Silva''s performance in the America''s Cup to see if his performance in the competition Withstand the pressure, although Silva''s performance is not amazing, but at least did not make a big mistake, the defender, this is a role that does not seek merit but seeks no fault, does not make mistakes, is to perform well!


    August 6, the day before the community shield.


    Aldridge came to the training ground. The players actively helped the coaching staff to arrange the seats in the stadium together. The new season''s family portrait will be filmed today.


    Boas, who was promoted to become the first assistant of Aldridge¡¯s left and right arms, was very happy, talking and laughing with the players, Blanc was old-fashioned, and he had established majesty in the past season. Stella Maggioni was good at communicating with players. Respond to the needs of players in a timely manner or situations that require the coaching staff to be vigilant.


    The coaching team is working in a tacit understanding. The new season is coming. Although the team''s renewal has not yet been fully formed, the general framework has been finalized. The young and ambitious players are ambitious, whether they are energetic or ambitious, which makes Aldridge satisfied. .


    When everyone stood in position to take a photo, Aldridge left his position, walked forward and turned to face everyone.


    He said with a solemn expression: "I know something happened this summer that worries us. Those negative things have disturbed our attention. Especially in the place of London. If you don''t want to be bombarded by the media, it is impossible. But the new season will start tomorrow, and I must say something to you, something that the outside world does not know. First of all, we have to understand that we don¡¯t need to prove anything to anyone, Millwall is the strongest! You team, Is the strongest!"


    Aldridge''s words came to a halt.


    Many players in their respective positions nodded, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, who is as serious as a soldier, or Villa, who is heroic.


    Millwall is the strongest. It has been proven in the past ten years and there is no need to prove it.


    "If we are thinking about who to beat and who to beat in our minds, this idea is ridiculous! Now it is someone else who will bring us down! Like Chelsea, we need to keep telling ourselves, do we have to work hard to bring down Chelsea? Over the past decade , We never lost to Chelsea! There is always only one person we want to defeat! That is ourselves! We make no mistakes ourselves, and no one can beat us! The outside world is discussing whether Millwall is as strong as before and can be maintained It¡¯s even more ridiculous to live up to what we have achieved! Do they think we have no ambition? Do we have no ambition to surpass the past? There is only one reality and motivation before me, that is surpassing ! Beyond all the teams in this era, beyond ourselves, and even beyond the familiar golden team in history! I hope that on the road to achieving this goal, you can be with me and be with you all the time! To that unprecedented height, overlooking the football world, and the history of football."


    Aldridge nodded after speaking, and began to walk back to his seat.


    Applause rang, but no one cheered or snarled, and the teammates nodded to each other, the persistent and determined eyes inspiring each other.


    Aldridge sat down and applause ceased. Millwall''s new season first team and the coaching staff held their heads together and took the new season family portrait.


    ...


    Attachment: Millwall''s first team goalkeepers for the 2004-2005 season: Bout, Palyuka, Kirkland.

    Midfielders: De Rossi, Pedretti, Alonso, Moutinho, Veroso, Kaka, Nedved, Ramor.

 Chapter 1037： Extremely simple

    Cardiff Millennium Stadium.


    The community shield competition of the new season is about to start.


    Premier League champion Millwall competes with FA Cup champion Manchester United.


    The red and blue colors in the stands are clear against each other. On the court, Aldridge walked into the back of the stadium and shook hands with Ferguson before the game.


    Fleet Street did not list Manchester United as the favourite for the Premier League in the new season, because last season Manchester United was too far away from Arsenal and Millwall.


    Millwall was still the No. 1 favourite in the Premier League, followed by Chelsea, third, Manchester United, fourth and Arsenal.


    Arsenal''s fall came from the departure of three main players, Vieira, Ibrahimovic and Van Bronckhorst. They fell into the same dilemma as Millwall at that time, the difference was that the outside world''s expectations for Wenger were not high.


    Ferguson also understands that the huge gap between the league championship last season and the league table is not enough to narrow the construction of the signing in a summer. Despite the impact of last season''s record, there was an unexpected factor of Ferdinand''s suspension for 8 months. However, accompanied by The arrival of the new season, Manchester United''s lineup, the age of players in key positions can not be ignored, such as Keane in the midfield position, 33 years old.


    In the team''s goal positioning in the new season, Manchester United and Millwall are no longer in the same grade.


    In this game, the starting players of both sides stood up and entered the field.


    "Welcome to the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. Today we will appreciate the winning battle between Premier League champion Millwall and England FA Cup champion Manchester United last season. Although the community shield is a semi-warm-up match, both sides are sure Will hope to get a victory to lay the confidence and momentum for the new season to kick off.


    Millwall sent Glencarre to return for the summer transfer in today''s starting list. According to Millwall star Ronaldinho, he spoke about Glencarre in an interview. He praised Glencarre Their strength, and the synchronization with their rhythm thinking of playing football, they cooperate with no problem at all.


    Manchester United sent new aid Rooney today, as well as defender Heinze. It seems that both coaches hope to use today''s game to see the team''s status and boldly use the new aid.


    Millwall started 433.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Ramos, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Ram.


    Midfielders: De Rossi, Alonso, Nedved.


    Forwards: Grenchar, Villa, Ronaldinho.


    Manchester United started 442.


    Goalkeeper: Howard.


    Guards: Gary Neville, Ferdinand, Sylvester, Heinze.


    Midfielders: Joaquin, Phil Neville, Fletcher, Giggs.


    Forwards: Rooney, Fanny.


    Well, the two sides are ready to kick off, and Millwall, who is wearing a traditional dark blue jersey, is the first to attack from left to right. "


    Aldrich stood in front of the coach on the sidelines. On the bench, he sat with Ronaldo, Kaka, Schneider and other players. Most of them had heavy summer tasks and ran back and forth. Like Ronaldo, he returned from the Olympic men¡¯s football team. Kaka finished the America''s Cup all the way, and the end time was too late, so the community shield let them sit on the bench first.


    After filming the complete family portrait yesterday, Aldridge had a long talk with Nedved. The veteran Nedved is well informed and hopes to bring his juniors at the end of his career to make Millwall perfect in the construction of a new generation. transition.


    He started today and he will be on the bench when the Premier League really starts. If Kaka, Alonso, Ronaldinho and others are in poor condition or have an injury, he must immediately top it.


    Manchester United¡¯s thinking is very clear today. Ferguson does not want Keane. The midfielder like Scholes is excessively consumed in the community shield because they will be visiting Stamford Bridge in the Premier League opener.


    Therefore, Phil Neville and Fletcher played double midfielders, defended in the middle, and the offense was still based on the traditional two wings.


    At the beginning of the game, Millwall controlled the rhythm of the field and slowly entered the game.


    In the 11th minute, Giggs broke through the teenager Ramos, crossed the shadow forward and inserted Rooney. Nesta lobbed the ball before Rooney. Behind Giggs, Glenchard was on the sidelines. Ruthball, he is more skilled than when he left Millwall, accumulated more experience, and his technical ability has already reached the level of his own ability.


    The familiar sidewalk fast horse figure was once again reflected in the eyes of the fans.


    Numerous lion fans in the stands screamed passionately and saw Glennshire start to explode, riding the ball in the dust zone forward, as if driving the entire stadium forward. This is a kind of extreme speed experience on the court, unparalleled.


    The frizzy Heinze rushed over to the shovel and was easily evaded by Glenshire because he was faster!


    Ferguson''s defense against Heinze''s defensive choice on the sidelines was furious.


    After lacking the full-back defense, Glenn Carr did not rush out the ball, dunked the ball on the right side, played the offensive depth in the penalty area, and then controlled the ball, forcing Sylvester to come over and defend him head-on. When he arrived, he knocked the ball back to the top of the penalty area. Nedvide came up and grabbed the ball before Phil Neville. The old and strong Nedvide keenly observed that Ferdinand intends to make up for him. Moving forward, Nedved sent a ball behind him, and Ferdinand started the Villa anti-offside at almost the same time. The ball was directly kicked from the right side of the penalty area without stopping the ball. The ball rolled without accident. Entering Manchester United''s gate, Howard''s response was significantly slower, and the American goalkeeper seemed to be in a poor state and was a bit sluggish.


    "The goal has been scored! Just ten minutes after the game, Millwall scored a goal! Glenn Carr drove the offensive offensive on the right, and transferred to the middle of the road for Nedved to send a deadly straight, Manchester United''s new aid Hein Ce made an unforgivable mistake. He hurriedly left the zone to shovel. Once the defender made a tackle, it was really a moment of success or failure! From the expression of Ferguson, he was very dissatisfied with Heinze''s performance. "


    Ferguson also felt like hell!


    The German football team has disclosed the transaction between Millwall and Bayern Munich. Ram¡¯s position in Bayern Munich is very embarrassing. Bayern executives were hesitant to grant Ram a new contract at the time. Knocking Millwall in cash, and letting go of a German national team full-back...


    And Heinze''s transfer fee is not low, 7 million pounds, the first time his mother made such a huge mistake, Ferguson would have to doubt whether he entered the old dizzy age.


    Villa didn¡¯t celebrate with any excitement after scoring a goal. The community shield was just a warm-up. After scoring, he walked to embrace Nedved. Nedved pointed to Glenchard. He ran over with a smile and gave a high-five to his teammates.


    Manchester United today is the same as in the past, all relying on the offensive side as the main method, but there are fewer links in the middle than in the past.


    The combination of side-to-center is a necessary offensive method for the two wings to fly together. The era of relying on the side pass to go to the restricted area to find a high center has long gone.


    Scholes couldn''t make it, Fletcher wanted to respond in the middle, and was blocked to make a difference. Rooney just went to Manchester United and has not yet fully integrated into the team''s rhythm. Passing and running is not tacit.


    Even so, there are still threats from Manchester United''s wing offense.


    Almost every time Giggs makes a breakthrough on the left, he is tempering the young Spanish teenager Ramos. Ramos will also have the disadvantage of defensive frizz. Giggs has passed him 5 times and succeeded 4 times. This is simply An unimaginable stat, because this represents Ramos'' point-to-point defense against Giggs, and the effect is virtually useless!


    Aldridge is not angry. Ramos is still young. Young people make mistakes on the court, and their abilities are exploded. It is normal. The key is not to bow your head and accept the negative mentality.


    On the other side, Hua Jin''s offensive and defensive play against Ram is 50-50. Ram has no physical advantage, so he defensively pays more attention to the distance between the team and the consciousness. Disadvantages, let teammates complement him, but Silva is still young, on this side, if it is the original main Southgate, it can be said that it is absolutely seamless with Ram.


    Manchester United lacks the supporting points of the middle road for side-to-side combination, and only crosses the side road. It is a bit like the taste of hitting the big luck, but this is the style of Manchester United.


    Extremely simple.


    I''m afraid there is no second coach in the world who can make such a simple and efficient side attack like Ferguson.


    People go to watch Manchester United''s wing offense and rarely marvel at how they made a pleasing cooperation.


    The side rips the opposing team''s defensive width, crosses, responds, shoots, and scores.


    Routines always look simple, but they always let opponents taste the bitter results of losing the ball.


    This reminded Aldridge of his conversation with Ferguson in the opponent''s office after the first fight.


    In that conversation, Aldridge said that his philosophy of building a team was to follow Laconian thinking.


    Simple is the biggest fertility and imagination.


    After ten years of coaching and then reviewing European football, Aldridge found that in fact, many successful teams are following this principle.


    This is true for Manchester United and Millwall, even for the Chelsea of ??Moore and Arsenal of Wenger who have not yet made their debut.


    Like the simple extreme of anti-reverse, no need to elaborate. The future of Tiki-Taka in Barcelona is still a very simple foundation. Ball control, passing, the simplest, the 10-year-old children receive football training on the basis of practice. The ultimate, naturally can produce extremely rich content.


    Ramos was overwhelmed by Giggs at the opening, so Aldridge let the team develop the offense from the left, letting the left to give Manchester United a major pressure, let Ramos first slow down, etc. After slowing down, he gave Ramos a gesture to let him participate in the attack.


    Ramos himself was worried, he was afraid that his assists would not come back, but under the eyes encouraged by Aldridge, he rushed up without any turning back.


    No matter how Manchester United plays, the offensive is to develop back to the middle. When Fletcher and Phil Neville have insufficient support for the frontcourt, De Rossi will automatically withdraw from the penalty area to fill the full-backs. The number of defenders is not enough. Flaws.


    So at any time, unless Millwall is suppressed by the opponent, the defense is basically a single midfielder, either De Rossi withdraws to fill the back line, or he is still the midfielder, Alonso is acting as a central midfielder, and is not completely dead. Stand on the waist.


    Gary Neville couldn''t withstand Ronaldinho''s pressure, and when Ram assisted, he was more miserable than Ramos.


    Ram has one advantage that Aldridge most appreciates, that is, calmness when handling the ball, never blindly throwing the ball, like many wing players will send meaningless crosses on the wing, basically on Ram No such phenomenon can be seen on the Internet.


    Ram, Ronaldinho, Nedved, Villa, these four people made a continuous shot in the left half of the offensive end, pass Manchester United defensive players dizzy, inadvertently exposed defense.


    The ball came to Ronaldinho''s feet, he made the offensive speeding choice.


    First, after receiving the pass from Nedvide, he stopped the ball and made a Marseille maneuver. Then he passed Phil Neville, and when Fletcher rushed over to steal the ball, he gently lifted the ball forward. After avoiding Fletcher''s snatching and regaining control of the ball, a series of pleasing moves came to the defender line, and then made a two-on-one cooperation with Villa. He directly entered the penalty area and formed a single-handed ball. When Howard abandoned the goal and rushed, Ronaldinho calmly pushed the ball into the Manchester United goal from Howard''s legs.


    Big and small doors were burst together!

 Chapter 1038： Happy cooperation

    Ronaldinho did not seem very excited, even if he completed a very exciting goal.


    Villa, who sent the assist, came to hug Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho patted his head like a senior to thank him for his assist.


    Obviously, Ronaldinho is in good shape after returning from a summer break. Technical players can observe the quality of the ball by handling the ball.


    Ferguson''s face was so green that Millwall scored two goals in less than 30 minutes, and it seemed so easy!


    Many Manchester United fans in the stands of the Millennium Stadium complained that Ferguson put Keane and Scholes on the bench.


    The combination of Fletcher and Phil Neville seems to have no resistance.


    The sweeping range is not enough, the quality of interception and snatching is not good, and Millwall is used as a monkey when attacking. When he loses his mind and rushes to **** it, he is completely passed away.


    But after losing the ball, they calmed down.


    Fletcher hopes to play a good-looking game for coaches and fans. After all, he has the ambition to become the main force at Manchester United, especially in the background that Keane and Scholes are both young.


    So he discussed with Phil Neville. Instead of being layered by the opponent before the penalty area, it is better to shrink the defense to ensure that there is no room for the opponent to pass and break through.


    The contraction of Manchester United''s double backs has given Millwall more control of the midfield. The game seems to be moving towards a one-sided situation.


    Attacking tough battles and breaking intensive defenses, Aldridge commanded De Rossi and Alonso to strengthen their offensive aggression, hoping they would also temper their offensive abilities.


    From the 34th minute to the 40th minute, Millwall continuously gave Manchester United a long-range pressure outside the penalty area. Under the countermeasures of Villa, Nedved, and Glenchar, Ronaldinho, Alonso, De Rossi frequently gets long-range opportunities, but Manchester United can''t block the goal and the shooting angle completely. But unfortunately Millwall has a little luck. The best long-range shot comes from Alonso and the shot hit the outside of the post. The bottom line popped up.


    In the 42nd minute, Manchester United launched a counterattack. Ramos was unable to cause harassment when Giggs attacked behind the excessive attack. Giggs did not stick the ball. After a half, he suddenly launched a long pass.


    Silva was defeated in the clever running position of the **** king of the old small penalty area. He was too concentrated on the running position of the guard, but he made a mistake when the ball came, so that Fanny got rid of the run in the roundabout. After the position, he quickly threw him away and stopped the ball well to complete a high-quality shot. The ball flew into the goal from Bout''s right hand. This counterattack hit Milwall without temper. The defender made a mistake in the pre-judgment, which was equivalent to giving up a large amount of offensive space.


    Silvalo was annoyed, lowering his head and not talking. Nesta came to comfort him, saying that he should not care about these, especially because he could not affect his mentality due to mistakes, otherwise, he would be in a nightmare before the game. .


    The first half ended with Millwall 2-1 leading Manchester United.


    After the halftime break, the two sides changed sides and played again.


    Millwall just started in the second half and caught Manchester United by surprise. Rooney broke through the frontcourt and was intercepted by De Rossi. Millwall quickly mobilized the attack.


    Alonso was able to figure out Manchester United''s midfield situation today. He can boldly press the offense. In the midfield, Alonso and Ronaldinho made a two-on-one cooperation. Joaquin, Phil Neville''s After the defense line was broken, Ronaldinho sent a scalpel-like straight ball and tore the Manchester United defender line from left to right front. Glenn Charles hit the middle of the road without stopping the ball near the bottom line in the penalty area, Billy Asian outsourcing midfielder succeeded in shooting!


    Ferguson was sitting on the coach''s seat indifferently, maybe he was too lazy to blame Heinze. After all, the opponent was not familiar with the Premier League or the power of Millwall''s offense. He didn''t keep up with Glenn Charles. , And did not withdraw from the penalty area to interfere with Glennshire''s cross, so lonely outside, like a bystander.


    Aldridge started to make substitutions in the 60th minute of the game. From the beginning of the second half, Ronaldo, Kaka, and Lamore all warmed up on the sidelines.


    Ronaldinho, Nedved, and Glenshare are replaced.


    After the substitution, Millwall''s offensive lost some of his pressure for a period of time. Manchester United counterattacked through a very beautiful wing. Giggs drove the ball to the bottom of the penalty area and then assisted Fanny in the small penalty area.


    Coming to the final period of the game, Ramos, who has been traveling through two and a half halves, paid off. Ramor passed the ball on the left to the Manchester United penalty area. After the first point, Cristiano Ronaldo jumped high, but Without hitting the ball, Ramos, who was concealed behind Ronaldo''s side, made a jump and sent the ball into Howard''s goal.


    Ferguson''s face was really ugly.


    It may be the second to lose the game. Through this game, he at least saw that Manchester United goalkeeper Howard is in a bad state!


    There are also new aid Heinze also need to be tuned, otherwise in the league or the Champions League, the key battle, this kid will be a shocking pit.


    It may take a while for Rooney to adapt to Manchester United. When Millwall was substituted in the second half, Rooney was subsequently replaced. The relegated Leeds Supermarket opened, and Alan Smith joined the rival Red Devils Manchester United. This summer, not only Millwall and Chelsea There is a dead enemy transaction between them, when will this traitor story disappear?


    Smith did not perform better than Rooney after succeeding Rooney. In the last year of coaching the national team, Aldridge found that Smith was retreating from the Leeds United position and approaching the midfield. Smith¡¯s position was confused. That is to say, no matter what position he plays, it always feels high or low.


    As for the future Ferguson''s attempt to change Smith to the midfielder, it is even more a failure.


    "At the end of the match, Millwall defeated Manchester United 4-2. Although Manchester United did not go to Scholes and Keane, Millwall generally won relatively easily. The two teams already have a clear strength gap, but The two missed **** will also make Milvola sound the alarm. The young Brazilian defender Thiago Silva did not take the slightest advantage in the confrontation with Fanny. Fanny made the erratic running position. The tile is full of mistakes. This Brazilian guy who was once recruited by Millwall to use genius terms needs more experience in the Premier League. It does not matter, he is still young. Congratulations to Millwall, they have acquired new The first champion of the season, ha ha, unsurprisingly. From now on, we can look forward to the upcoming season of the Premier League war! The 380 Premier League feast is coming!"


    After shaking hands with Ferguson, Aldridge entered the field to celebrate with the players.


    The whole team was not too excited, or they knew in their hearts that the real war has not yet begun!


    The sky in London is now a terrible blue!


    Millwall, the most successful contemporary team of the past decade, they are nicknamed Mad Lion.


    But it has begun to become a dragon in the eyes of many powerful people!


    Instead, the Blues Chelsea are also known as the Blue Lions.


    The focus of the Premier League is in London, and the focus of London''s civil war is in this battle of dragons and tigers!


    Aldridge, who returned to London later, was finally reunited with his family.


    The little princess Bonnie, who returned from her trip, seemed to be very dissatisfied with not seeing her father for a long time. She was embraced by Aldridge in her arms and would not let go.


    Yiwen, like an eternal watchman, gently asked him: "Everything is back on track?"


    Aldridge nodded with a smile. On the three-point acre of London, a little chaos of wind and grass will always cause a lot of harassment in the media and inevitably affect the family.


    After the doubts about the club''s transfer dissipated, Aldridge had a new problem that had not been resolved.


    Millwall needs a new CEO.


    He can''t do everything, and he hopes that this time he can find a co-branded and capable left arm and right arm to share his work further.


    The pace of the Premier League in the new season is getting closer.


    The second day after taking the community shield, Millwall''s team took a day off, but Aldridge returned to the club and began looking for a new CEO in the office.


    He is going to call his elder brother Barnett, hoping to get a recommendation from the other party. In addition to internal management, the chief executive of the football club is actually marketing, so it doesn¡¯t necessarily need to be limited to finding people in the football circle, and many CEOs who are famous in the football world are basically predecessors who are workers in other fields.


    Today is different from the past. Ten years ago, with Barnett¡¯s capital, there could not be a group of talented business elites, or pseudo elites, with academic qualifications and practical skills that could not stand the test. Adam is like this. People, can''t surprise Audridge.


    Now Barnett, with his social circles and fortune-telling, can certainly recommend some talented and capable people.


    Just as he was holding the phone to call Barnett, the knock on the door rang.


    He put down the phone first and said, please come in.


    When someone came in to push the door, Aldridge''s expression was unexpected. He smiled and said, "Smith, why did you come here? Did Millwall''s sponsorship contract with Standard Chartered Bank expire? No?"


    The man who came to sit at Aldridge¡¯s desk was Smith Carter, Aldridge¡¯s friend. Several years have passed, and now he is a real power figure with a high level of management of Standard Chartered Bank, although he is still working part-time. But the scenery is very beautiful outside.


    Carter in a suit and leather jacket took out two envelopes from his briefcase, took them from left to right, looked at them, and seemed to be discerning. Then he smiled and handed the envelope on his right hand to Aldridge.


    After receiving the envelope, Aldridge opened it in a hurry and asked with a smile: "What is inside the envelope on your left hand?"


    Carter smiled: "Resignation letter."


    Aldridge laughed dumbly, raised the envelope in his hand after the reaction, and asked, "Job letter?"


    Carter still smiled and nodded.


    The resignation of Millwall''s CEO is not small news in itself. Adam''s departure is slightly mysterious, and the parties will not talk nonsense to the outside world, which is of no benefit.


    The outside world only knows that Millwall now needs a new CEO, which is no secret.


    But Carter really knows the inside story of Adam''s departure. When Aldridge went to work to meet friends after get off work to avoid reporters, he did not hide this matter from Carter. It was similar to drunk talk and unhappy.


    Aldridge was moved.


    Carter¡¯s purpose is very clear now. As long as Aldridge receives his cover letter and hires him, he will go to Standard Chartered Bank to submit his resignation.


    In Aldrich''s life and workplace circles, there are not only betrayer, but also the people who die for him, and the friends who give up in the snow.


    This is probably life. People cannot be free from shortcomings. As long as it is not the indignation of people and gods, they will never fall into the miserable situation abandoned by the whole world.


    Carter''s ability to work, and the resources of the business circle are undoubted. He is fully capable of being the CEO of the football club. Perhaps the only problem is the internal management of essential work, but as long as he is familiar with the environment, he can quickly get started.


    Carter is good at communicating and making friends, which is also a very important feature for managing the club.


    Aldridge put down the envelope, got up and walked to the wine cabinet, took out a good bottle of wine and poured two glasses, and brought one to Carter.


    Carter, holding the glass, smiled and asked, "Boss?"


    Aldrich turned his head and said, "You should know me for so many years."


    "Okay, Aldridge, happy cooperation."


    Ding.


    The two clink glasses, drink a sip of wine and smile at each other.

 Chapter 1039： Adjust construction strategy

    Throughout the day, Aldridge led Carter to officially visit the inside of the Millwall club. The two have been talking about the current situation of Millwall. Aldridge will inform Carter of the information that will not be released to the public.


    For example, Millwall''s specific operating costs, revenue sources, cooperative sponsors, and ongoing and future business plans.


    After lunch, the two arrived at the team''s training ground. The first team''s training ground was empty, and the two sat on the floor.


    Carter didn''t ask Audridge''s ambitions and goals to run Millwall after he had a general understanding of Millwall''s current situation.


    Since they met and became close friends, subtly, Carter was able to guess the result through his understanding of Aldridge.


    "Aldrich, half of my role is to keep the club organized, and the other half is to make the club richer."


    Aldridge nodded and agreed with Carter.


    In fact, there is only one standard for measuring the working ability of the CEOs of 99% of the companies in the world: can the company be richer!


    It''s not about personality charm, it''s on the media platform.


    Carter continued: "Football is the world''s largest sport, with more than 2 billion fans worldwide, so whether Millwall can be richer and increase the value of a commercial brand is not about whether the team wins the championship, just like Manchester United, Manchester United¡¯s championships and achievements in the past ten years are completely incomparable with Millwall. However, Manchester United¡¯s commercial value is only slightly lower than that of Millwall, and the gap is not obvious. There is also Real Madrid. Greenfield¡¯s achievements are even more incomparable than Millwall, but through the consecutive years of superstar recruitment, their commercial brand value has soared rapidly, second only to Millwall. There is only one core, the number of fans in this club, the more the number More, the higher the value of the natural business brand, because more fans can bring more attention, and the sponsors¡¯ advertisements on this team will also get more attention."


    Aldridge nodded, and he understood what Carter meant.


    Manchester United''s record in the green field has not been too glorious in recent years, but Manchester United is also very profitable. It is profitable every year. The club''s wealth list ranks among the best. Before Real Madrid''s emergence, they ranked second.


    The reason is that after the Edwards family joined Manchester United, they worked tirelessly to make Manchester United on the road to commercialization. Their brand value was accumulated over decades.


    The core of brand value is actually the number of fans, because fans are the group that consumes football.


    Not a fan, who the **** is watching the ball?


    Even if it is a fake fan chasing the stars, it is also a kind of fan.


    For example, if the sponsor is printed on the chest of the jersey, if your team has only one fan and other people do not pay attention at all, then only this fan will see the advertisement on the chest of the jersey and form an impression in his mind.


    If you have ten fans, then ten people will remember.


    This is not to deny the meaning of achievements in the greenery field, but it is not the core part.


    Champions will increase exposure and expand the fan base, which is one of the means of soaring commercial value, but this is the mainstream before the "global village" era. The more championship teams, the greater the influence, but after the Internet era, It''s different.


    The sensation of the eyeball effect may be higher than the impact of a team winning the championship, such as the introduction of superstar Real Madrid.


    "An important part of the club''s revenue comes from broadcasting, game day income, and sponsors. If the broadcasting fee is to be increased, we can only follow the trend of the entire football environment. Millwall already has an exclusive official TV station, which is in this regard. It has also maximized the benefits as much as possible. The daily income of the game mainly revolves around the development and construction of the Lion King Stadium and surrounding commercial chains. These work have been on the right track and are close to saturation. It is difficult to change or expand anything because the periphery of the stadium belongs to The club¡¯s space is so large. If you want to expand in London, you may not be proportional to the income and expenditure. After all, the number of local fans has reached an approximate saturation state in the past ten years of development. The growth of the new generation of fans will only grow slowly. , And will not suddenly rise. I think the focus of the work is to start with the sponsors, make the club richer, increase the value of the commercial brand, and let the sponsors increase our income and influence."


    Aldridge nodded slightly, Carter''s work thought was very clear, and he knew where the focus of his work after taking office in the future would be.


    In the past, Carter negotiated with Millwall as a sponsor representative.


    In this regard, he better understands what sponsors need.


    If Millwall has no interest in the United States, then companies in the main market in the United States will not sponsor Millwall, what is the use of spending money?


    And world-class companies that try to open the European market will come to you.


    Pulling sponsorship Pulling sponsorship is actually mutual benefit. Both sides take their own needs, not who is giving.


    Carter continued: ¡°I think Millwall has a lot of material to use in this regard. As long as the number of our fan base grows and the fan¡¯s radiation area continues to expand, our brand value will naturally rise, and when we negotiate with sponsors, With greater confidence, you naturally understand that when it comes to how to do it, I think the key lies in how to use materials that Millwall can hype to promote."


    "for example?"


    Aldrich is very interested in this topic. He also hopes that Millwall¡¯s fan market will grow bigger and bigger, but how to expand specifically, in his opinion, it may be more based on playing commercial games and the team maintaining the top games A good record means a high exposure rate, and the media will naturally help propaganda.


    Carter laughed: "Millwall has spent a successful decade in the past. I think there are many materials that can be hyped in this decade, the team''s record, the loyalty of the stars, the influence of the flag, we can use network resources, Condensing the past season review into a documentary for fans to download for free, or selling it to all fans in the world who are interested in us, in order to expand and deepen Millwall''s influence. At the same time, Millwall in Europe, Also in Asia, we have opened our own football schools, why not use these football schools as outlets to exclusively sell our fan souvenirs? Also, when appropriate, we will go to some areas with a low number of fans Commercial competitions, even those places that are poor and backward, cannot give me millions of pounds in appearance fees, but as long as we make a sensation in that area, our sponsors will be willing to increase the sponsorship fee to expand their sales to that area. In addition, we have to learn to pack our own stars. How much commercial resources has Manchester United obtained from a Beckham? We should also keep pace in this regard to highlight the personal charm of our stars and make it a cross-border star."


    "No, no, I wouldn''t want Beckham to appear in my club. Endless business activities and strong money interests surround it. This is not a good thing for the team in the long run."


    "Then we are wasting resources."


    Aldrich agrees with many of Carter¡¯s ideas, but he also has his own ideas.


    After a moment of silence, Aldridge said in a deep voice: "In the past ten years, I have learned a truth. I have a good pursuit, but I can¡¯t go too far. If Millwall not only needs to use commercial resources and court capabilities to The limit, I think this is impossible, because this balance point is too fragile, we must have the bottom line of operating the club. If we tend to commercialization to the extreme, once the situation collapses, it may be the consequence that no one can control."


    Carter thought deeply, and finally said: "It sounds reasonable, then this point can be given up. Next, I want to talk to you about the construction of the team."


    Aldridge chuckled: "Why? Do you want to be a staff member?"


    Carter shook his head solemnly, saying: "No one in the world can compare with you in terms of player selection. Discussing this topic in front of you is also a disgrace. What I want to say is that, against Adam, Millwall was recruited. In the event of leakage of the candidate list, Millwall needs to adjust its development strategy in the future."


    Aldridge put a smile on his face and said, "Want to hear the details."


    Carter sorted out his thoughts and said: "In ten years, Millwall opened low and walked high, step by step to the world''s peak position, the competition within the club has become more fierce, and now it has reached the most brutal level, like Rooney, Luo This talented player who has a place in the national team can only wait for the opportunity at Millwall. Their departure should be inevitable."


    Aldridge nodded, not denying it.


    Now Millwall is not in the past. He can promote four or five players to play the main role in a season.


    Even like Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo, the former De Rossi and Alonso''s upper ranks all need to endure for a while.


    Those who can''t bear it can only leave.


    "The core of the problem is that we may only have an average of two or three talented players in the team, so unless there are special circumstances, such as a talent fault within us, a player of a certain type or position Missing, we will introduce talented players to give them opportunities. Under normal circumstances, even if there are fancy talented players, they cannot bring them to the team. Under the negative influence of Robben and Rooney leaving the team, there may be many geniuses. Players are reluctant to come to us and wait for the opportunity, because the difficulty is too great, like Rooney and Henry, choose one of two, now 100 sensible people, maybe 90 will choose Henry instead of Rooney, I think Rooney himself I know this too."


    Aldridge sighed: "The world is changing. Football players can make a lot of money, and they can get rich overnight. The younger the talented players, the more they want to become famous earlier. That''s nothing wrong."

 Chapter 1040： Long-term strategy

    Millwall has gone through a glorious decade under the leadership of Aldridge, but at the beginning of the decade and at the beginning of the next reincarnation after ten years, they all face the same problem: they cannot retain people.


    At the beginning, it was a survival need to retain players. They could not meet the demands of the top players, so they could only let them go. Now, it is the greed sitting on the throne, hoping to put the next generation resources in their hands as much as possible, and take precautions to avoid them In the future, the replacement of talents in the team will be broken.


    It is a pity that contrary to expectations, the world is not revolving around Millwall, Aldridge has received too many gifts, and he will not ask too much, as if everyone in the world is serving his will.


    People come and go, can''t always see the bad side, the good side is that Millwall or loyalists are willing to contribute to this team that has been different, which is enough to make Aldridge feel relieved.


    Since Millwall already has enough knowledge, for the team to grab football talent resources, Aldridge mentality began to become open-minded.


    In the past, they were opportunistic, like a speculator who "acquired at a bargain". In the future, this team can buy the best players, but if they can only buy the right players, there is no need to worry too much. However, the football world The rule is: there will always be so many resources, and the more it is divided in advance, the greater the profit.


    Because of the competitive nature of competitive sports, no matter how many geniuses there are in an era, there are always high and low points. The top players can always be ranked roughly, preemptively grabbing excellent players and entrusting them with heavy tasks, they can compete with their opponents. Take the lead in competition.


    "In order to make full use of Millwall''s scouting network and the secret of our youth training success, I think we can properly share resources to achieve the purpose of serving our club."


    "How to say?"


    "First of all, the times have changed, young players are increasingly impatient, they are unwilling to wait, they want to stand out prematurely, they need games, they need the stage, they need exposure, and at the same time, you told me that European football¡¯s Competition is intensifying step by step, so the success rate of young players will also become lower and lower, it is difficult to have a surprising genius to become a superstar smoothly, because the pressure on the court is too great, the club cuts young players for utilitarian consideration of record There are fewer opportunities for young players to exercise during playing time. Such a situation occurs in the giants and first-tier clubs, right?"


    Aldrich nodded in agreement, which is obvious to all, especially after ten years, many fans will say that "contemporary genius is nothing compared to the number of geniuses born in the 1970s."


    Sometimes it¡¯s not that there are fewer geniuses, but that the geniuses are more likely to be destroyed as they grow up, and they will eventually resist the pressure to become famous and become less and less.


    "However, in the second-class clubs in the entire UEFA world, they still hope to train young players to bring considerable income to the club. The club''s business philosophy is different from that of the rich and first-line strong teams."


    Carter said slowly, grabbing the turf on the training ground.


    "Yes, originally Millwall trained players, but in fact, there are hopes that players sell a good price to supplement the consideration of club capital. However, after becoming a rich player, our goal of training players is no longer to make money for cash. Nevertheless, The unretainable players sold, still brought us huge transfer market benefits. The giants and the first-line strong teams naturally for their own strength, the training of players will not be in the future to sell players to make money, but the middle and downstream clubs have They can¡¯t retain the birth defects of the players, but they will leave some room for early preparations to sell good players and keep the club¡¯s capital in a safe area."


    "Yes, so think from the standpoint of those second-tier clubs. What do they need? Young players with excellent potential and training them to become stars, but not every club has the same youth training efficiency The coverage of the scouting network is also different, and there are certain limitations on the recruitment funds. Millwall has a sign that we have never used before, and that is our youth training sign!"


    Aldrich shook his head slightly and said, "As far as I know, compared with the youth training system of other clubs, Millwall''s advantage is that many clubs are discouraged even if they want to follow suit, because the board or the boss is in the youth training. More than 30 million pounds have been dropped on the system to upgrade hardware facilities, build a large youth training team, etc. This kind of investment involving monetary benefits is something many club owners are unwilling to take risks. After all, it is not a small amount. There is such money. With financial resources, why not just buy a first-class star and gamble? If you help the team get a better record, or enter the Champions League, the return will be even greater!"


    Carter also smiled and shook his head, said: "Look, this is your thinking misunderstanding. What you think is a very realistic thing, but from the standpoint of the outside world, many people will think that Millwall is very mysterious and very magical! Taking Ram as an example, Bayern Munich¡¯s position in Germany need not be said, but they made mistakes on Ram¡¯s problem. After Ram came to Millwall, he showed impressive strength. Is it you Is the magic of Aldrich Hall caused by the unique way of cultivating talents in the Millwall youth training system? The outside world does not know, the outside world is curious, and many clubs will happily steal teachers, hoping to learn Millwall training The secret of the players, this is a bargaining chip that we can use and should establish a cooperative relationship with other clubs in a proactive manner."


    Aldridge thought deeply, and Carter''s words caused him a certain mental shock.


    He doesn''t actually think how special Millwall''s youth training system is.


    To be honest, as long as the youth training system is not a nonsense, willing to invest, and long-term adhere to a concept, without artificially creating chaos, it will naturally produce results.


    The youth training system of the major giants is not bad. The youth training of the La Liga is one of the sources of the new force of La Liga. Ajax has long been known for its unique youth training philosophy. Bayern Munich has the largest youth training talent in Germany. Ku, the youth training in Italy is still vivid, and it is common to have more than 5 echelons under the first team.


    If you don''t understand this, it is difficult to understand that many teams'' youth training is actually very powerful.


    99% of the fans can only remember the star players who are active on the top stage, and come and go is nothing more than the masters of the big players, but in fact, taking the Premier League as an example, even if foreign players are invading in full swing, but The proportion of local players is still more than 40%. Even if a team is counted as 25 players, there are 500 players in 20 teams, and 40% are 200 players.


    Where did these 200 England players come from?


    Of course it was cultivated by various clubs, but the tycoons need genius, and geniuses cannot be mass-produced on the assembly line.


    As for Millwall¡¯s phenomenal success rate over the past decade, it¡¯s thanks to Aldridge¡¯s innate advantage, not the secret of youth training.


    They did train a lot of players who played in the Premier League and in the lower leagues, but excluding those geniuses who were destined for fame in history. Ten years later, Aldridge only saw a talent Ramall, who had fallen, was back on track, and no new face appeared in front of him.


    This is not a question of the ability of the youth training system, but two words: talent.


    No talented player, no matter how hard and painstaking achievements have limits.


    There is a saying in football: Without talent, as long as you work hard enough, you can become the next Nedved.


    I don¡¯t know who put forward this idea of ??brain damage. Of course, Nedved¡¯s success is inseparable from his talent. Over the years, even after another ten years, did a second Nedved appear? ? But which of the most accomplished stars is not talented?


    Carter is now reminding Aldridge to use Millwall''s youth signboard as a bargaining chip in exchange for profit.


    Aldrich figured out the key here, similar to bluff, there are not many secrets and secrets in youth training, but the outside world is still curious. After all, the achievements of Millwall youth training are too shining, and the colleagues are coveted.


    "I understand what you mean. We can use the sharing of youth training tips to obtain some club cooperation opportunities. After establishing a cooperative relationship, we can also help them select players, that is, conditionally share scout resources, and then they get After training players, if we need them in the future, on the basis of cooperation, we can increase the probability of acquiring players and reduce the cost of introducing players, right?"


    Carter nodded with a smile, adding: ¡°For some clubs who are particularly optimistic and highly rated potential players, we directly buy the ownership and lend it to other clubs. This must be discussed before, so that the players have a deep heart. In the past, Mill Wall bought the players and then leased them, ignoring the individual opinions of the players. Although the methods were similar, the players were easily dissatisfied in the process because they seemed to have lost their dominance and left the club at their disposal. "


    Aldrich lowered his head and rubbed his face, rubbing his face. Although glorious in the past ten years, it was also a stage of accumulating experience. It is inevitable that some places are not well-conceived.


    "Your idea is fine, I think it works."


    "Not only that, if some clubs have a very good relationship with us, we can also use the other party''s marketing network by paying a certain fee for mutual benefit, which depends on the tacit understanding of the relationship and cooperation between the top management."


    "Well, this is something I never thought about before."


    "There is another point we need to talk about, that is to maximize the benefits of balloon stars."


    Aldrich raised his head and asked in a puzzled way: "Over the balloon star? What do you mean?"


    Carter replied: "In the future where competition is becoming fiercer, not every star will be willing to play the role of a gangster in Millwall to contribute to Millwall''s new generation of construction. They will hope to use their fame to make Personal income is maintained at the top level."


    Aldridge frowned, and the question was very real again.


    But he still agreed with Carter.


    Not every star will be as hard-working as Nedved or Larson, or reasonable.


    To put it bluntly, Nedved is sacrificing personal interests to contribute to the team, as is Larson.


    "When there are some career stars who can''t get personal satisfaction in Millwall, the club''s choice is to let them leave, right?"


    Aldridge nodded.


    Treating heroes is what he wants to do, but in order to maintain the team''s record, sometimes there will be conflicts between the two.


    Just like Larson is no longer able to play the main role, it is not his ability problem, it is the energy problem. A player who can not stick to the whole season represents instability, then he cannot be qualified for the main position.


    Fortunately, Larson knew that Dayi accepted the role of substitute. If he did not accept it, Aldridge had no other choice but to send him away.


    "In the future, there will definitely be such people. However, I think the club cannot let the stars leave. This is a loss of popularity and loss of interest for the team. We should provide these players with a choice in advance, even if they are among the many choices. One is better than none."


    Aldrich asked curiously: "Could you send them to a club that cooperates with us?"


    Carter said: "Yes, it''s not right. We build a cooperative club, which must be based on the European territory. I hope the team will set its goal in an emerging market for the cooperative club."


    Aldridge reacted quickly and blurted out: "America."


    Carter chuckled and said, "It seems that you should have thought that the league of American football was established just ten years ago. The initial budding period has passed, especially when the US national team reached the World Cup quarter-finals two years ago. The stimulation of the market is very important. The overseas promotion of the Premier League brand is ahead of other leagues of the same level. At the same time, Millwall has also continued to develop in the US market, but this is not enough. The consumer power of the US market is undoubted. Sponsors are very attractive. We can establish partnerships with professional clubs in the United States as early as possible. Even in the future, when the professional football league in the United States develops steadily, our balloon stars will land in the United States, which will stimulate the football market over there. The benefits given to us will be inestimable."


    Aldridge smiled, his heart excited.


    Carter''s vision in this regard has been very comprehensive.


    From the possession of young players'' resources to the utilization of the team''s balloon star resources, it is very effective for Millwall''s long-term stability.


    Carter has not yet taken office, but Aldridge has been extremely excited.


    Maybe Abu and Mourinho are now a match made in heaven.


    But Aldridge now also has his real right arm.


    For the development of the American market, beyond the expectations of Aldridge, after Carter took office, Millwall announced a series of commercial development plans. In the United States, Barnett Hall directly bought the former New York Cosmos team. New York Metropolitan Club!

 Chapter 1041： Team Lion 1 vs Team 2

    On August 10, Millwall officially announced that the new CEO Smith Carter will take office.


    After taking office, Carter appeared very low-key, almost no one was found by the media. He took the newly formed team back and forth across Europe, France, Turkey, the Netherlands, Portugal and so on. He was rapidly building a Millwall cooperative club all over Europe. At the same time, it began to focus on rebuilding Millwall''s football school worldwide, strengthening publicity, and establishing commercial outlets. At the same time, Millwall''s publicity plan with the title of "Ten Years Legend" as the project title is also in full swing.


    The club''s business development projects outside of sports are in full swing, and these do not require Aldridge to worry about.


    August 13.


    The Premier League is about to start in the new season, and Audridge attends a pre-match press conference.


    Reporters from all walks of Fleet Street gathered here, and the press hall was overcrowded.


    In the opener, Millwall will go away to challenge Tottenham, a derby in London.


    For the game, the outside world does not care, they even look forward to the beginning of the entire season, a battle between Millwall and Chelsea kicked off.


    Aldridge, who was sitting on the stage, had a gentle face. A reporter first asked about the transfer of Ashley Cole to Chelsea.


    At the time of the transfer, Millwall only announced on the official website. The last time Audridge attended the press conference was to introduce the return of Glennshire. The reporters did not go to the interest of Audridge. So this question Dragged to today.


    Aldridge smiled and replied: "Ashley Cole left Millwall and went to Chelsea in West London. He left Millwall for 100 reasons."


    Full of surprise!


    All reporters were stunned.


    Could it be that Ashley Cole still has many intricate factors in Millwall that have not been tapped? There are 100 reasons why he left so complicated?


    Aldridge stretched out his hand with a smile, raised his index finger and said: "The first reason, money."


    He stretched out his **** and gestured with both fingers, saying, "The second reason is money."


    Sticking his ring finger and three fingers, he said, "The third reason is money."


    At this time, the reporters at the scene all smiled.


    Aldrich spread his hands and smiled: "The hundredth reason, money."


    Most reporters know that Aldridge is sarcastic on Ashley Cole, and using this method to attack each other''s image can be described as completely disregarding the former mentorship.


    As the two parted ways, Ashley Cole betrayed and fate was over.


    The reporter who asked the question was dignified and asked rhetorically: "Sir Hall, after Ashley Cole has won the World Cup, European Cup, League Championship, UEFA Cup Championship, Champions League championship, he hopes to Is Millwall getting the top salary, is this wrong?"


    Aldridge replied gently without changing his face: "Your question asks Chelsea, there is nothing wrong, because Chelsea has nothing but money. But what about Millwall? We have always been a united club, a club that pays attention to contributions The important thing is how much you contribute to this team, not how much ability you have. Belon¡¯s salary in Chelsea is not low, and his ability is not low. Why should he be called parallel? Because he did not contribute, why is Crespo Also known as not worthy of his salary? Because his contribution is not enough! Ashley Cole only played the main role for Millwall for two seasons, but hoped to earn as much as Nedved and Henry, It¡¯s ridiculous. Henry was also a World Cup champion when he came to the team, but Henry did not have rude claims on wages. When you will ask me why Millwall and Ashley Cole talked about the collapse of the contract. At the time, I was also wondering. Really, in the past ten years, I have never heard of Nedved, Southgate, Larson, Pirlo, Ronaldinho, Schneider and other players. The news of their dissatisfaction with the salary, their renewal has never been turbulent, has Millwall treated them badly? No, they have contributed, and the club will reward them. This is what they deserve. Don¡¯t forget , You¡¯re just talking about what Ashley Cole got, but you didn¡¯t say who made him? Which team allowed him to stand on the podium."


    This reporter from The Guardian was stalking, grasping the issue and continuing to say sharply: "Sir Hall, you have repeatedly emphasized that players should know how to repay, and don¡¯t overestimate the benefits of money, but you do it yourself The player was sent to Chelsea, isn''t it because of Chelsea''s high transfer fee offer?"


    Aldridge shrugged: "Of course, they only want to go to Chelsea, because Chelsea pays a high salary, as for the transfer fee, huh, Ashley Cole, Robben, Ribery, the transfer fee returned by the three, The club took half of it and added it to the loyalty clause rewards for all players in the first team, and 20% was used as the championship bonus for this season. The club stayed and invested only 30% of the operating costs."


    All the reporters at the scene looked at each other.


    According to the information they had received earlier, Millwall sold to Chelsea three players and received about ¡ê70 million.


    If 35 million pounds are given out to give first-team players a loyalty reward, this investment is not small.


    Loyalty rewards are definitely not one-off, the focus is on loyalty!


    In other words, the longer a player stays, the higher the reward.


    In any case, in disguise, Millwall¡¯s player salary has increased, but it will not be a permanent increase, because the age of players will increase, and the career may be a few years later.


    The 20% championship bonus is almost ¡ê15 million!


    Certainly not a championship bonus, it is the sum of all events, the league and the Champions League must be the heaviest!


    This is another measure to stimulate players'' fighting spirit.


    Such a reward mechanism has a certain connection with Aldrich''s stated contribution.


    The better the score, the greater the contribution and the more money you earn!


    "Guardian" reporters are no longer entangled, it is enough.


    The reporters at the scene knew that Millwall¡¯s boss was not a lust. Although Millwall made a lot of money, the salary system was actually very large. In the club¡¯s self-sufficient operation, they made a lot of money through selling people in ten years. Money, but know that earning a new stadium and developing a commercial chain will require astronomical money, and the player¡¯s salary system. Before Abu entered Chelsea, Millwall has become the most Premier League salary system since 2000. A huge club that is also among the best in Europe. There are too many excellent players. The top weekly salary is the highest, but there are loyalty rewards. The main players are middle-level players. The wages are obviously much higher than those of other clubs.


    Renewed clubs can¡¯t escape a situation: that is the change in the salary system. If you want to help the newcomers to the top, you have to make room for the salary. Those former main players who were unwilling to cut their wages and did not accept transfers, this The money club still has to fulfill the contract and continue to pay, so Millwall''s wage system is under great pressure at this stage is also justifiable.


    Howard of The Sun raised his hand to ask questions.


    "Sir Hall, do you think Millwall, as the defending champion, who will be the biggest competitor?"


    Aldrich looked around at the countless eyes of the audience. Everyone actually had an answer in their hearts. It was a bit tricky for Aldridge, but Aldridge laughed: "Of course it is Chelsea. They spent more than 200 million pounds this summer. Citations, if I don¡¯t put them first in the competition, I feel embarrassed, huh, huh, "The Sun" asks for some reason, today I read the cover of the football section of your newspaper, um, do It¡¯s not bad, but the wording is inaccurate."


    "Sun" in today''s newspaper cover is a full-page PS picture.


    On the left is the new Chelsea lineup led by Mourinho, on the right is the defending champion Millwall led by Audridge.


    Aldridge and Mourinho stared at each other across the air, posing a tit-for-tat posture.


    This "Fight of the Young Masters", which was in the pre- UEFA Champions League final last season, will finally begin.


    The text description interspersed in the picture by the "Sun" was: Mad Lion 1 team vs Mad Lion 2 team.


    There are too many former Millwall players in Chelsea.


    In a detailed season preview, the Sun deliberately speculated that Mourinho would not only lead Chelsea to overthrow Millwall''s rule, but also to use the players abandoned by Millwall to further combat Audridge. , Trying to prove that he knows more about hiring than Aldridge.


    Yeah, beat Aldridge with a group of Aldridge abandoned players. If it can be done, Aldridge and Mourinho are weaker and weaker, so there is no need for discussion and there is no dispute.


    The atmosphere at today''s press conference was relatively relaxed. The reporters did not see Aldridge''s anger or ugly face. Aldridge''s mentality was always better.


    Howard asked: "Where is it wrong?"


    Aldrich chuckled: "Although I say that you may feel that I am looking for a step, I still have to make it clear that when Ferreira left Millwall, there was no dispute about his ability to compare with Schneider, Schneider is definitely stronger than him, and now I also think that Schneider is better. If Drogba and Essien did not leave Millwall two years ago, they would not be there today. After two years of training in Ligue 1, they The strength has become stronger and there is potential in the future, but the media should never wrongly express the specific abilities of players in a period, covering their entire career at their peak. Drogba two years ago was in Milwaukee. There is no place for the Seoul front. I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a mistake to let them go. Chelsea have money. They can buy a lot of players in the world. Just as Millwall can do the same. Although we are poor, we take it out. It is not difficult to recruit 100 million pounds. The question that troubles us is: Who should we buy? We already have the best players in the world, even if some players are still young, but we are patient and can wait for them to become the top Players, this is our tradition."


    In fact, the reporters knew that the news in the newspaper was not credible. The Sun was also used by the crowd. Howard showed an apologetic expression to Aldridge, and Aldridge smiled.

 Chapter 1042： Utilitarian football

    Stamford Bridge is like a arsenal in the state of preparation. Since the end of last season, Mourinho entered the main, as if Stamford Bridge has always heard the sound of building weapons and equipment. During this summer, they continue to recruit to strengthen their strength. Constantly raising expectations for them.


    When the day of August 14th arrives, the preparations for Stamford Bridge are over!


    The curtain of war, open!


    Chelsea''s first round of the Premier League, the game is quite noticeable.


    They will play against the Red Devils at home.


    Mourinho fought against Ferguson. Mourinho disclosed Ferguson''s gaffe performance in the Champions League last season after losing to Manchester United. Ferguson criticized Mourinho for being too arrogant.


    Chelsea appeared at Stamford Bridge, competing with Manchester United for the first victory of the season.


    Mourinho''s new tactical system has finally surfaced.


    How to play in the warm-up game, the outside world will not be used as a decisive basis. Only when you really reach the Premier League can you determine what kind of team Mourinho wants to build.


    The now popular 433 was sacrificed in Mourinho''s hands.


    Chelsea began to rise to Europe as a steel division!


    Mourinho established his main starting lineup.


    Goalkeeper: Cech.


    Defenders: Ferreira, Terry, Carvalho, Ashley Cole.


    Midfielders: Makelele, Essien, Lampard.


    Forwards: Robben, Drogba, Duff.


    This is stronger than Chelsea in the history of the same period, because Essien and Ashley Cole arrived earlier, and in the offense, there are Ribery and Joe Cole on the side, even Robben, the glass man There are a lot of players missing from the sidelines when there are problems.


    In terms of thickness of the lineup, Mourinho can sit back and relax thanks to Bai Abu''s crazy recruitment.


    However, there are still risks in this main lineup. Robben is one of them. African players are the second to play in the African Cup in January.


    Ferguson sat on the coach''s bench on the sidelines, not moving like a mountain, focusing on what happened on the court, but his heart was already in a rage.


    Silently ask the sky!


    His mother, Chelsea is fighting back! Anti-reverse! Anti-reverse!


    Malle Gobi, the team that took more than 300 million pounds to build in two years is still at his own home.


    A little bit of pursuit? ? ?


    Utilitarian Mourinho doesn''t care much about the scene, only the results.


    Chelsea fans are not really afraid of Manchester United, because before Abu entered the game, Chelsea had the reputation of "giant killer". This giant refers to Manchester United.


    At the end of the game, the score on the scoreboard shows 1:0.


    Chelsea scored a small victory over Manchester United and made a good start.


    The season has only just begun. The team naturally did not run to the best. This is normal. Chelsea also needs to run in. Mourinho is very satisfied with the result. As for the scene after the lead is extremely dull, he does not care.


    I thought that the victory of this game will bring Chelsea spiritual stimulation and inspiration.


    But another game kicked off at the same time has just ended, also in London.


    White Hart Lane Stadium, North London.


    When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the match, Aldridge went to shake hands with the Tottenham coach.


    Tottenham''s new coach is not a strange face, Aldridge just played against each other in the European Cup.


    Former French national team coach Santini.


    Santini was at a loss at this time, slightly overwhelmed.


    Tottenham home fans are booing him, his players quickly leave the court, unwilling to stay one minute and one second at home.


    Millwall players are enjoying victory.


    Aldridge and Santini failed to shake hands, because he stood in front of Santini for 3 seconds, the other side was desperate, Aldridge had no choice but to pat the elbow of the other side, and then stood on the sidelines waiting for the players Exit.


    "Tottenham''s new coach Santini''s Premier League debut was simply terrible! Sir Hall, who gave him a painful blow at the European Cup, sent a gift for Santini''s arrival at White Hart Lane! Tottenham suffered a bloodbath at home at Millwall! In the game, Tottenham actually discharged a 9-0-1 formation, completely shrunk in the penalty area, but still couldn''t stop Millwall from scoring a goal. Nardinho first produced a red card for the opposing defender and then scored a goal with two goals and a dazzling result of assisting a hat trick. Villa, C Ronaldo and Kaka each scored a goal, and they all scored goals. Assists from Ronaldinho, while Villa and C Ronaldo also gave Ronaldinho an assist, Millwall is full of energy in the midfield and frontcourt, and almost every area in the frontcourt can create a breakthrough threat! After the first round of the new season, the defending champion took the top spot."


    Aldridge greeted the players on the sidelines. They thanked the fans who came to support the Lions on the road and then they all went off together. Their faces are full of meaning and the fighting spirit is full.


    "Good job."


    Aldridge celebrated with Kaka high-five, then Ronaldo, Villa, Alonso, De Rossi...


    Ronaldinho was the last to retire. He dropped the jersey on the other side of the court and took a photo with the nearest fans on the sidelines.


    Ronaldinho was happy with the game, Ronaldinho was happy, he hugged Aldridge''s neck when he retired, and the mentor and apprentice walked into the player channel together, talking and laughing along the way.


    In an interview in the mixed zone, the reporter informed Aldridge at Stamford Bridge that Chelsea defeated Manchester United 1-0.


    Aldrich shook his head disdainfully: "I don''t want to hear any news about Chelsea. Their performance is not what we are concerned about. We only care about ourselves. In my opinion, the outside world does not understand what Milwall is now. We are Defending champions, we are advancing bravely, we are not afraid of everything, we are determined to conquer, what about Chelsea? Do they have a Premier League champion? No, do they have a Champions League champion? One thing, to beat your opponents in the game! Instead of focusing on how others are performing and marveling at what has changed, we are trying to make ourselves better without expecting others to be bad to make us profit."


    On this day, the curtain of the Premier League opened, and the new generation of players led by Ronaldo and Kaka began to provoke the beam, and Millwall''s frontcourt offensive firepower began to be released in a new round.


    In the adjustment of the team''s offensive center of gravity, Rodriguez used Ronaldinho as the core of the offensive offense, making Ronaldinho the first target of the opponent''s marking, bringing the release of other points, Kaka''s forward insertion after capturing space in the front court, and The dribbling breakthrough ability started to surprise the entire European football world. Cristiano Ronaldo has not yet developed towards the shooting machine, but his skilled technical ability has made him start to climb the throne of the first killer. Villa''s career has opened high and low. After leaving, he played quietly and played stably. The tacit understanding of the team''s ability to cooperate and gradually stabilized the status of Europe''s first-class player. After the baptism of last season, Alonso has the ability to attack forward in addition to the sublimation of organizational ability in the new season. More efficient, in the middle of the road, his pressure to further liberate Kaka, so that the Son of God began the power of 30 meters in the front field.


    In the midfield and backcourt transformation, because Tiago Silva needs more protection, De Rossi also mainly stabilizes the defense, hoping that under the support of Nesta, Silva can grow up as soon as possible, Schneider With Ram, the German full-backs promoted their delicate technical abilities, Aldridge began to have a bolder idea in the use of full-backs, allowing Ram and Schneider to take the situation at the wing trial, and sent a straight threat. The offensive feature of torn opponent''s defense in the frontcourt, and the full-back assist directly sent by the full-back, will become one of the focuses of Millwall''s overall offense.


    In August, the Premier League goes to war!


    The horn of battle sounded over the Stamford Bridge.


    Lion King Stadium, defending champion defends the throne aspirations.


    Premier League first round.


    Millwall away 5:0 blood wash Tottenham.


    Chelsea 1-0 Lectra Manchester United.


    second round.


    Millwall home Manchester City at 4:0.


    Chelsea beat Birmingham 1-0 away.


    The third round.


    Millwall is at home 3:0 easily even Portsmouth.


    Chelsea away 2: 0 soldiers won the Crystal Palace.


    The fourth round.


    Millwall had only two days left between the fourth round and the third round. They were the first to play because they were going to the European Super Cup.


    On the basis of the rotation of the whole team, Nedved and Larson two veterans are in a state of bravery, helping Millwall beat Bolton 5:1 away.


    Then Chelsea, who started at the same time with the big troops at regular time, beat Southampton 2-1 at home in a shocking and unimpeded manner.


    In August, the Premier League played four rounds of league matches.


    People''s enthusiasm and expectations for Chelsea began to decrease.


    Although they are the same as Millwall points, their victory is quite economical and lacks passion.


    Millwall showed the ambition and power of the king through four rounds of the opponent''s 17 goals!


    Especially after four rounds, after people have a general impression of Mourinho''s Chelsea, many fans who are looking forward to the miracles of Chelsea have begun to turn around.


    Chelsea, too utilitarian!


    As long as the score is ahead, they will not speed up the pace of the game and pay more attention to defense to kill the opponent.


    There are also criticisms and mockery of Abu.


    Is this the beautiful football you want?


    It¡¯s better to call 3 points football!


    As long as you get 3 points, it doesn''t matter.


    Mourinho dismissed it, he made public opinion storms by provoking all those who can provoke, let himself stand on the cusp of the storm, shelter the boss from the wind and rain, and exchange tranquility for the team. All the pressure, he was alone. On the shoulder.


    In the Premier League battlefield where smoke began to diffuse, Mourinho was waiting for opportunities, waiting for Millwall to make mistakes, waiting for Millwall to bear the pressure to give up offensive football, and instead used a utilitarian posture to plunder 3 points. You can transfer more pressure to Millwall and Aldridge.


    But he may not know that what he has done now, once, Aldridge did it, and for the internal control of the team during the game period, Aldridge does not need to be in the limelight in front of the media. An internal sentence is enough to keep players from being disturbed by the outside world.


    In this league marathon, perhaps in the past the competition was endurance. Now, it is the competition who falls first and can knock down the opponent when they meet.

 Chapter 1043： New Mad Lion vs "Renaissance"

    The luxury passenger jet exclusive to the Millwall Club is en route to Monaco.


    Many players and coaches in the cabin are recuperating, but Aldridge is sitting in his position holding a pen, with a tactical board on his leg, and four players sitting on his left and right.


    Kaka, Ronaldo, Villa, Alonso.


    Millwall¡¯s football philosophy is based on simplicity, but when simplicity begins to breed a rich and changeable scene, players¡¯ thinking sometimes falls into chaos, so Aldridge needs to communicate with them, mention points, and put some of them I thought the complicated picture was described simply.


    These four players are full of enthusiasm. They are still young. Although they have honors, they are not enough to be enchanted. They are ambitious. They are very willing to listen to the teachings of Aldridge when others are resting, and cherish every minute and every second. Next, I will digest every sentence that Aldridge said. If there is something I don¡¯t understand, I will propose it immediately and have an in-depth discussion with Aldridge.


    "Cristiano, your current advantage, first ball control technique, second speed, third physical quality, in order to make you a more comprehensive player in the future, so you must be clear-headed, in a team, every Individuals play different roles. Taking offense as an example, the organizer, the tandem responder, and the terminator are the three most basic elements. Although there are players, such as Maradona, suddenly there is a goal. The roles have been played, from the organization area to the ball, started to attack, and finally scored the ball by themselves, but this does not have wide applicability. Millwall has come down for a season, and the various events add up easily and break the goal. Hundreds, but less than 10% of the goals are scored by a player completing two or three roles at the same time. Maybe you will find it complicated for me, then I will simply tell you that you can become in the future More comprehensively, now, I will give you a fixed area. On the right, you are the tandem strategist, to serve the Terminator, which is to assist as much as possible! But you can transpose with your teammates when you are on the offensive side. When you face the goal and shoot with your right foot, you will have a better grasp, that is, the accuracy of the shot after the counter-foot cut is higher and the threat is greater. In this area, you are the terminator. Remember, two You can switch roles at any time in the future, but for now, try to play this role in a fixed area as much as possible! This is very important for your future, very important!"


    Cristiano Ronaldo nodded solemnly. When playing the bench in the past two seasons, his position is not ambiguous, but he will "lost" himself, because it is a substitute for Larsson, Larsson scored very efficiently. He also wanted to take Larson''s route. In fact, after Larson became the team''s first scorer from Henry, Larson became a point-forward striker.


    Ten years back in time, Cristiano Ronaldo is actually similar to a point forward, scoring, running, grabbing points, shooting, scoring.


    However, the natural strike-forward striker has limitations, that is, most people''s ball combining ability in sports is not too strong, and the shooting ability of a shooter like Fannie is already outstanding.


    In order to make Ronaldo more comprehensive, only if he is more comprehensive, his threat will be greater and he can become a shooting machine!


    The route to Cristiano Ronaldo is actually similar to Henry''s career path.


    If Henry hadn¡¯t played a winger, he didn¡¯t play the role of a team in the beginning. His power to change to a center will inevitably be greatly reduced. While he was a winger, he used to control the ball, break through, and control the ball early in his career. The treatment has a very important basic role for hone your skills, improve your experience, and read all aspects of the competition.


    Those who are born or play center early in their careers have obvious limitations in their scope of activities, because they will be overwhelmed in unfamiliar areas and their ability to read games is also limited.


    For Kaka, Aldridge was more straightforward.


    "Kaka, your position is the most tightly defended area in the contemporary era. In the past, it was a single midfielder or no midfielder, only a trailing midfielder. Now it is a double midfielder or even a triple midfielder. The defensive pressure in this area is very high. Big, and you cannot play in a similar way with Pavel in this position, you need space, forward space, how to create this space, that is, vertical and horizontal offensive tearing, so you must be on your own Teammates have absolute understanding and overall control, horizontal tearing, giving the ball to the winger, and our two full-backs, vertical tearing, there is a center in front of the front to bring out the depth of the striker, behind there is a midfield combination, Alonso and Germany Rossi, your forward attack needs to be calm and correct to predict. Once the opponent defends the sideline or your teammates cover you in the same area, then it is your ability to use the ball to penetrate the opponent''s defense line directly At all times, during the dribbling, you also have to keep observing the running position of your teammates, because once you break through this position and come to the back line, this will be a chain reaction that will move the whole body. The opponent will lose his mark in panic. Human goals are commonplace!"


    Kaka narrowed his eyebrows in contemplation, couldn''t help but took the tactical board from Aldridge''s hand, looked down carefully and watched, Aldridge drew a circle in his position, and then there was a dotted line to indicate the pass line, it was really in all directions It requires him to see the ability of the six-way, and at the same time have a solid line to draw his running position and the line of dribbling breakthrough.


    As for Villa, Aldridge didn¡¯t particularly need to pay attention to it. Villa can be said to be completely underestimated by the outside world, because Henry was too dazzling. In the absence of Henry at the beginning of the season, in August, Villa played He scored 5 goals and sent 4 assists at the same time. The role on the front line is very obvious. How to switch the role back and forth between the center, center, finisher and responder, Villa has been influenced by Millwall¡¯s football philosophy for many years. He has already got through, and the only requirement for him now is to keep up with Ronaldinho''s rhythm.


    Ronaldinho is the biggest threat in the frontcourt, which is the most important target for opponents to mark and defend. Ronaldinho did not become the ambition to shoot the machine. Therefore, Ronaldinho is willing to contribute to his teammates. The key is that the teammates must be able to On his beat, keep up, Ronaldinho can make the situation very clear, so that teammates can more easily play their maximum fighting power.


    When Kaka meditated on his own, Aldridge took the tactical board back, erased the above content, and began to communicate with Alonso. Last season, Alonso performed well in the role of midfield commander, new This season, Aldridge wants to strengthen Alonso¡¯s assist and oppression ability, not necessarily to threaten him, but he must be able to alert and panic his opponents, just like there are players in defense who can block opponents by clever and reasonable positions. The pass line does not need to chase the ball and run. When attacking, as long as a point is pressed to distract the opponent, it can also make a huge contribution for the teammates and the team.


    Before the plane landed in Monaco, Aldridge was surrounded by players. In addition to the original four young players, Ram, Ramos, Messi, De Rossi and other players took the initiative to listen and discuss. Reminding the plane that it was about to land, they returned to their seats, and the older generation of Nedved and Larson smiled at each other.


    Due to frequent appearances in the European Super Cup in the past decade, since the European Super Cup was changed to Monaco, Millwall has also participated in 4 consecutive times. This year is the fifth consecutive time. Millwall also has a large number of Monaco. Fans.


    The number of fans welcoming Millwall outside the airport is quite spectacular.


    Before Aldridge led the team to board the bus, he and the players signed a group photo with some fans, which caused a very lively atmosphere.


    This year''s European Super Cup will be the last season''s European Champions League champion Millwall and UEFA Champions League Valencia launched a fight.


    Valencia was still the opponent of the Millwall Champions League final many years ago. Many years later, they won the UEFA Cup and were led by Benitez.


    After Benitez headed away, Valencia invited Ranieri, who was idle at home.


    Aldridge and Ranieri also have a long-term battle in the Premier League.


    When he coached Chelsea, the two did not speculate.


    However, after Ranieri lost his Chelsea coach status, Audridge would also say two words of compliment to Ranieri in public, just like Lao Lei left West Ham United, Odridge was leaving the country. The team coach left the choice of Lao Lei as one of the candidate national team coaches.


    The FA has also announced that Lao Lei has become the coach of the new national team. Lao Lei publicly praised Aldridge after taking office, even giving the impression that he was saying: I lost to him at West Ham United. Convinced orally.


    Ranieri also praised Aldridge before the European Super Cup started.


    Perhaps he is still dissatisfied with Chelsea. Abu''s football revolution did not allow him to participate. He was fired when he was on vacation, and the invited Erickson did not do as well.


    Benitez was tired of going to England without end of infighting in Valencia. Ranieri came to Valencia and started the "Renaissance".


    Regardless of Ranieri''s ability to coach, at least his coaching thinking can''t keep up with the changes in La Liga football.


    August 27, Stadium Louis II of Monaco.


    The royal aristocracy of Monaco came to the Millwall locker room an hour before the game and greeted Aldridge warmly. Many royal members of Monaco admired Aldridge and they left a group photo in the locker room.


    When the game started, Aldridge stepped out of the player''s tunnel and walked to shake hands with Ranieri before the game.


    The starters of Millwall and Valencia are also ready to go.


    "The European Super Cup, which symbolizes the renewed fighting in Europe in the new season, is about to start. This is the appetizer of the new season in Europe. Some local Monaco fans made a joke: just move Millwall to Monaco. Ha Haha, Millwall has appeared in the Louis II Stadium for five consecutive years. Among these 5 times, including today¡¯s, they have 4 times as Champions League champions, 1 of them as the UEFA Champions League. Identity, that is, last season, I remember last season they played a tremendous goal fight with AC Milan, and in the penalty shootout Millwall luckily defeated AC Milan. Today, their opponent may not have AC Milan So powerful, but not to be underestimated. Valencia is the La Liga champion."


    Aldridge looked at the starting players on both sides of the field, Millwall played with the main lineup, Valencia''s side was unclear, once the emperor and the courtier, who will be the main force and who is the substitute in Ranieri''s heart? It is impossible to see a game alone, and Aldridge does not care.


    Millwall started 433.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Defenders: Schneider, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Ram.


    Midfielders: De Rossi, Alonso, Kaka.


    Forwards: C Ronaldo, Villa, Ronaldinho.


    Valencia started with 451.


    Goalkeeper: Canizares.


    Guards: Canela, Ayala, Marchena, Aurelio.


    Midfielders: Fiore, Albelda, Baraja, Angulo, Vicente.


    Forward: Colladi.


    The reason why the main lineup appeared in the European Super Cup, Aldridge hopes that this single-match cup will give young players a certain amount of mental pressure and exercise their resistance to pressure. The European Super Cup is tasteless, but for kicking The players of the game, especially the young players, will definitely take it very seriously. No one wants the elder brother to come by plane to play a game and then watch others win the championship and go home lonely.

 Chapter 1044： New nightmare

    It is an obligation for players to play well, but attitudes and conditions cannot be confused.


    A player with the correct attitude may not be in good condition.


    And when a player has a good attitude and a good state, it will make the head coach feel very excited and have less trouble.


    In the case of Kaka, Ronaldo, and Henry''s injury to Villa, Ronaldinho was able to appear on the court in a very good state and a positive attitude. Aldridge felt lucky.


    Millwall needs time in the new season to let the team run in and make young players accustomed to facing pressure, while calming down and playing steadily in the big scene.


    It can be said that since the start of the war in mid-August, Ronaldinho has not only made a huge contribution, but also promoted the progress of the team and helped Aldridge share a lot of work. At least, at this time, Millwall needed such a person on the court. Protect young players from the wind and rain, and avoid exposing them to greater stress.


    This game is also the same, Aldridge does not need to remind Ronaldinho how to play football, basically in the field of sports, the two people only exchange words.


    Aldrich tells him how to kick, Ronaldinho will make a gesture of OK, and then go to perform, in the process of execution, Ronaldinho almost makes Aldridge can not pick out the thorn.


    "Canela and Fiore put Ronaldinho together, and the Brazilian magician gently kicked the ball and passed the ball back to the German teenager Ram who followed up!"


    Ronaldinho ran forward after returning the ball, as if to run an anti-offside, but he pointed his finger to the other side when he ran forward, obviously for Ram.


    Fiore came back too deep, and Ram controlled the ball unmarked. He took the ball with ease and walked inside. Angulo came to press, Ram passed the ball to Alonso and Alonso led the ball forward. , Deliberately widened the lateral distance from Kaka, when Albelda was distracted to defend Alonso, Alonso then passed the ball diagonally between Albelda and Baraja, Kaka inserted the ball in front In one trip, the situation became clear in an instant!


    The Son of God brought the ball to the defender line. He missed the opportunity to give Villa an assist. The two passed and did not form a tacit understanding. After Villa moved forward and was offside, the double center defender immediately blocked Kaka. No longer ignore Villa.


    Kaka can only pass the ball to Ronaldinho.


    Ronaldinho kept stopping the ball and could hardly see him swinging his legs, only to see him passing the ball to the direction of Villa''s position.


    Valencia will immediately raise their hands to signal Villa offside.


    Villa himself reacted quickly. Instead of chasing the ball that was flying diagonally over his head and passing the speed, he ran back to the middle, the area in front of the goal!


    Before the ball came out of the bottom line, as expected, Millwall had teammates running to the ball without stopping the ball and making a cross!


    Ronaldo!


    Villa easily pushed the shot in the middle and Canizares jumped like a thunder!


    "Millwall scored a goal! Hehehe, this is not a goal we are not familiar with. Since FIFA confirmed the rule that passive offside is not offside, Millwall and Arsenal like the Premier League have begun to use this rule. Playing the match that confuses opponents, most people are now familiar with this rule, just as FIFA President Blatter suggested: To avoid controversy, directly change the rule to no offense or offside is more conducive to judgment. This ball To praise Ronaldinho''s vision and imagination of passing, he didn''t stop the ball. He first passed the ball to the right side of the penalty area near the bottom line. He observed the movement of his teammates and also used the Leah''s confusion over the opponent from the offside position, wonderful offensive action, C Ronaldo is really fast, Aurelio failed to catch up with C Ronaldo after turning around, allowing the Portuguese genius to complete an easy assist. Millwall leads Valencia 1-0."


    After Villa scored a goal, C Ronaldo smiled, C Ronaldo pointed at Ronaldinho, and Ronaldinho ran to hug Kaka...


    Ranieri wiped his face, and the tinker really felt like "dreaming back to the Premier League".


    Moreover, the situation is now worse than in the Premier League!


    Why?


    Because he led Chelsea to have nothing!


    You can put down your body and listen to him completely.


    However, Valencia has two crowns in three years in La Liga!


    If you count the UEFA Cup, the number of championships will increase, which is the glory of Benitez.


    Benitez can make this team pragmatically anti-reverse, because Benitez is not just a simple anti-reflexive idea.


    Benitez''s coaching style is erratic. He is very fickle, and he often governs his body with his own way of life. Like the super-raco, which is born from the wind, Benitez can only be in La Coruna. The area with the strongest offensive attack against the opponent and then win.


    His tactical arrangement is very targeted.


    And Ranieri''s train of thought, some can''t keep up with the times.


    Aldridge applauded as usual, signaling the team to make persistent efforts.


    Only 13 minutes after the game, the goal was scored, which is a good thing. It can help the players to relax better, relieve their stress, and let go to perform.


    Ronaldinho attracted the marking of three opponents on the left side of the frontcourt, because they couldn''t resist.


    In addition to full-backs Canela and full-backs Fiore, Albelda also participated in the defense of Ronaldinho, Angulo retreated, and formed protection for the front of the defender line with Baraja.


    Ronaldinho caught the ball and threw the ball once. Next time, he took the ball to the side and tore the opponent''s lateral defense as far as possible. Then, within a narrow range, he used a crotch ball to remove the ball from Al Belda spread between his legs.


    Fans on the spot constantly cheered Ronaldinho.


    The passing ball was received by Ram, who took the ball two steps to the bottom line, but then suddenly pulled the ball towards the middle when defender Ayala moved deep, Angulo rushed over to block Ram, then The player poke the ball to Kaka.


    Kaka immediately transferred the ball to Ronaldo on the right without waiting for Baraja to come up. Ronaldo broke out when he touched the ball. He even broke through Aurelio and stopped in Valencia. The situation was clear at a glance.


    Millwall''s offensive advantage is revealed!


    Cristiano Ronaldo diagonally entered the penalty area, suddenly shot with a cold arrow, Canizares made a wonderful save to block the ball!


    The ball that popped out of the penalty area was headed forward by Alonso with a header. Villa then ferried to the header, Kaka killed him and passed by Marchena like a hurricane. The Son of God was in the penalty area. For Canizares, who had just climbed from the ground, he did not choose to volley vigorously, and made a swinging leg motion. He seemed to want to exert force, but pushed the ball with his arch, Canizares twice The save was not as calm as the first save, and was tricked by Kaka''s fake shot!


    The ball rolled into the left side of the goal without suspense.


    "Kaka scored a goal. In the 29th minute of the first half, Millwall led 2:0! Valencia was completely unable to resist Millwall''s offense. They spent too much energy on marking Ronaldinho. , And then the middle of the zone is completely ruled by Millwall¡¯s offensive players on the other side. The picturesque offensive cooperation is fast, simple, smooth and imaginative. Alonso header, Villa header ferry, At the same time when Kaka inserted the ball and adjusted the shot after the chest stopped, Marchena can only complain to the referee that Kaka was a handball foul when the ball was stopped, but we found through playback that Kaka stopped the ball perfectly, without handball! "


    After Kaka''s two-finger celebration, he hugged his teammates.


    Aldridge raised his wrist to look at his watch, and 30 minutes passed in the first half.


    He gestured for the team to close.


    The European Super Cup does not want to consume too much.


    The next FIFA match day, the UEFA Champions League will also start, their game will be rescheduled in the England League Cup, because Millwall games are too many, the schedule is relatively dense.


    Valencia fell behind by two goals, Ranieri could only let the team attack up!


    Vicente¡¯s age when he left Millwall was still relatively young. Even if he did well in the past few years, the glass man¡¯s situation has not improved much, which will affect his achievements.


    So in recent years, I have hardly seen him make much progress. It has become a luxury to want to make him a modern winger. I have a lot of time to recuperate a year, and it is good to do my job well. How can there be energy to pursue higher?


    Ranieri only had one striker, Vicente seemed to be very effective even if he broke through on the wing, but the probability of passing the Schneider level was not high. In the end, he didn¡¯t dare to break hard and passed early. Zhong let the center find his own opportunities.


    In today''s game, Silva marked Corradi, Nesta came to delay to provide protection, but Nesta was more idle, Silva froze very well, and there were not many opportunities, and not very good Corradi. And the performance is getting better and better, and even a brave grab can be successful, which is very important for Silva''s confidence improvement, after all, this is the European Super Cup!


    Seeing that the first half was coming to an end, Valencia played a strong pressure offensive. As a result, the frontal Angelo failed to pass the Nesta level. Nesta easily resolved the danger in front of the penalty area, and then Kicked the ball to Ram.


    Ram''s vision is wide, and a large-scale offensive transfer directly on the left side of the backcourt!


    After Valencia''s offense was ended, they surrounded Ronaldinho for the first time, almost becoming their instinctive reaction, so the defense on the other side appeared relatively large, and Ram''s pass was to find C Luo''s.


    Cristiano Ronaldo stopped the ball at the center line and took the ball forward. Without two steps, the ball was passed straight ahead. Villa had a large range of activities and pulled the edge. After Cristiano Ronaldo''s pass came, he controlled the ball and directed Take two steps ahead.


    At this time, Ronaldo rushed directly to the middle of the penalty area, Villa stopped the ball, and returned to the back of the middle of the side. When Kaka rushed to touch the ball, he sent a straight plug with a hole through the back line!


    No one could stop Ronaldo''s soaring speed. Marchena used a flying shovel to intercept Kaka''s straight ball, but it was still slow, maybe only 0.1 seconds slower.


    While Ronaldo stepped into the penalty area, the ball behind him arrived as scheduled. He went to the meeting alone, and Canizares rushed out when Kaka sent out the straight, at this time he rushed out of the small penalty area and came to Ronaldo. Ronaldo gently kicked the ball to the front right, and then walked behind Canizares from the left, the ball was scored!


    The old goalkeeper Canizares slipped when he turned back, rushing too hard and braking too quickly. The whole person fell to the ground, staring desperately at nobody in Ronaldo who kicked the ball into the empty goal with crossed feet.


    Ronaldo, who showed his footwork, hurriedly walked to the sidelines to celebrate the goal.


    "The game can almost declare no suspense. Millwall played Valencia 3:0 in 45 minutes. Cristiano Ronaldo''s goal was gorgeous. The triangle pass between him and Villa and Kaka was called With a textbook-style offensive, when facing the goalkeeper with a single pole, C Ronaldo first used a human ball to pass the goalkeeper, and then used his left foot to wrap around the right leg to shoot. Perhaps many people would not like him to do so in the stands The fans of Valencia are very angry and probably think C Ronaldo is humiliating Valencia."


    Aldridge grinned his head crookedly. Cristiano Ronaldo is a man on the court. He doesn''t plan to restrain Cristiano Ronaldo in this respect. His requirements for the players are only: obedient and concentrated on playing football.


    If it is too wide, it will easily lead to disputes. After all, players on the court are not just millionaires but also millionaires.


    3: 0, Aldridge took the lead in the player channel in a good mood.


    Ranieri looked numb, and he suddenly realized at the end of the half game: This is not a dream back to the Premier League, but a new nightmare!

 Chapter 1045： massacre

    At halftime, Millwall''s players were very excited. This excitement worried the coaching staff.


    It''s not that I''m worried about being overturned by Valencia in the second half, but that the players are in a state too early and are over excited. For the entire season, it may not be a good thing.


    Aldrich agreed with Boas when smoking with colleagues at the corner of the corridor.


    Winning the ball is a win, but over-excited, especially now that it is not even in September.


    Ideally, this kind of excitement is best accumulated, paved, suppressed, and when is the best time to burst?


    Christmas war!


    The most need to grab points, when other teams are busy coping with the brutal intensive schedule, the excitement of the players can drive the state and relatively offset fatigue.


    When he finished smoking a cigarette, Aldridge wiped his face and smiled bitterly: "No way, Valencia has just experienced a coaching change, the people are turbulent, La Liga started late, they are not like we have played several rounds of leagues, players The state enters faster, and there is a gap in its own strength. Coupled with the state and external factors, Ranieri''s team is so vulnerable..."


    For this European Super Cup, Aldrich itself is not expecting Valencia to attack Millwall strongly, which will consume Millwall, which is not the ideal situation. The most ideal situation is to give Millwall some trouble and make young The player was tempered in the key game of a single game. As a result, Valencia failed to withstand even 45 minutes.


    Back in the locker room, Aldridge made the team try to control the scene as much as possible in the second half, and also told them with a long heart, after finishing this game, they will go to the national team, the league has just started, the road this season is still very good Far away.


    In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought.


    Instead of standing on the sidelines, Aldridge sat down.


    Valencia themselves do not fight as the UEFA Champions League champion Low Millwall, but as the La Liga champion!


    In their eyes, this is a La Liga title vs. English Premier League title!


    As soon as the second half came up, Ranieri sensed that the scene had lost control.


    Valencia, for honor and dignity, even if they can''t turn the game, they must score a goal for Millwall!


    So they launched a mad rush, and the offensive investment was very large.


    The overall formation of Millwall was not overwhelmed, and as a result, the opponent automatically revealed empty space.


    In the 57th minute, Ronaldinho got the ball on the left side of the midfield, Angulo came to grab, Ronaldinho started an outbreak to make the other side empty, Alberda made a defense, the result was Ronaldinho took the ball in the middle, card The running position of the card attracted Baraha¡¯s attention, and he was slightly distracted. Ronaldinho took the ball and broke through all the encirclement circles of the midfield. He played a bull tail in front of Marchena and lost the center of gravity. Villa blocked Ayala for him, Ronaldinho easily entered the restricted area, just entered the restricted area, Canizares attacked, Ronaldinho hung the door!


    The atmosphere at the scene was completely crazy!


    Crazy lion fans cheered extremely enthusiastically.


    Even Valencia fans saw Ronaldinho score the ball, and many people couldn''t help but applaud.


    "Ronaldinho''s personal performance! He broke the dribble all the way from the midfield, his teammates created space for him through the running position to reduce the resistance, and finally he painted the performance with a light shot. Perfect stop!"


    On Millwall''s bench, Nedved, Larson, Glennshire and others all stood up and applauded!


    Aldridge laughed and covered half of his face with one hand.


    "Come on! Catch on!"


    He was planning to resign his troops, but Valencia did not give face, their defense was completely chaotic, chaotic and disorderly.


    In addition to the first half, the threats of Kaka, Ronaldo and Villa are very intuitive. They are swaying on the mark. This is also a chain reaction after Ronaldinho gave them a cover for the core. The mutual influence between the teams, As long as the three men threaten, Ronaldinho will be liberated!


    With a smile, Aldridge stood up and took the initiative to make a substitution.


    "Mirwall was about to make a substitution just 60 minutes into the game, and two players were replaced at a time. Young full-back Ramos came on to replace veteran Schneider and Glenn Carrell came on to replace Ronaldinho. Location. The deafening applause sounded at the Louis II Stadium in Monaco. This is the applause given to Ronaldinho. Although it only took 60 minutes, his performance conquered everyone."


    Ronaldinho scratched his head and walked off the field with ease. He also applauded to the stands. He walked out and finished the substitution with Glenn Charles. He came to Aldridge. Aldridge smiled and patted his shoulder and said, " I hope that you will be able to maintain your status as you return from the Brazilian national team."


    Ronaldinho grinned and said, "It will definitely be better than today."


    Aldridge smiled and said nothing.


    After playing, Glenn Carr ran to Ronaldo to say a few words. Ronaldo nodded and shifted to the left.


    Valencia is in chaos!


    There are differences in internal thinking.


    The offensive player feels that Ronaldinho is off, Millwall''s offensive power will be greatly reduced, so if he wants to attack, he must score a goal to save his face.


    Defensive players feel that they have lost four goals. The team has been disabling. They must not lose the goal again. If it is lost again, this is the massacre!


    As a result, Valencia''s formation appeared torn apart during the offensive and defensive transition, that is, it could not be connected back and forth!


    Millwall took control of the midfield and began a bombardment of Valencia''s goal.


    Aldridge thinks today''s game is very strange!


    He was ready to withdraw his troops, but the offensive opportunities were better every time!


    In the 65th minute, Kaka passed Albelda in the middle of the frontcourt with Alonso, and Kaka split the ball to the right.


    Glencarre had just played and was full of energy. Orelio was rushed by Ronaldo for 60 minutes. Now he is coming to Glencharr. The Danish fast horse made Orelio almost twisted his waist for the first time.


    When Kaka''s pass came, Glenn Carr used the right instep to direct the ball to the ribs between Valencia''s full-back and center-back.


    Aurelio was taken aback. He thought there were no Millwall players in that area. Whom did Glenchart pass to?


    Pass it to himself!


    The ball is divided!


    With an acceleration of ten meters in sprinting, Grenchar turned around to accelerate Aurelio''s inside line and accelerated!


    The fans in the stands are too familiar with this scene.


    "Fight for speed, rely on!"


    "I bet on Glenshire to win!"


    "Get out! Who bets with you! When I''m stupid!"


    Fans watched with excitement as the speed at which Glenshare broke the table directly around the outside line and back to the inside line and at the edge of the penalty area, near the bottom line, swept the ball directly into the goal.


    There are two points in front of Millwall!


    Before Kaka, the middle road is Villa!


    I saw two people rushing up one after the other to shovel!


    Man, flew out, against the turf, and then Kaka and Villa slid into the goal, but the ball rolled over before they touched!


    Kaka and Villa were about to cry without tears. Glenn Carre''s speed was too fast, and the ball was a bit powerful. Kaka kept accelerating and rushed into the penalty area after the ball was scored, but still did not catch up. Villa was a little bit swayed by the previous point of Kaka. He flew hesitated when the shovel went out and missed the opportunity.


    Canizares was terrified, and he was shaken!


    I thought I couldn''t get back to the ball. As a result, I rolled past two meters in front of him. When he turned his head and looked away, the chill swept across the body!


    Cristiano Ronaldo was behind, but it was outside the big penalty area and there was no shooting angle at all.


    Cristiano Ronaldo took the ball to the penalty area, Ayala rushed to grab, Cristiano Ronaldo turned the ball to the periphery, and already had a good shooting angle. At this time, Canizares'' position was problematic, too close to the corner The doorpost!


    As long as Cristiano Ronaldo pushes the ball into the far-angle range, the ball will surely advance!


    Villa had originally climbed up with Kaka to go back, but now he was afraid to stand directly in the Valencia goal!


    They are afraid to go out and be hit by Ronaldo''s shot to help Valencia make a save!


    Or, you may be sentenced to offside!


    So they stayed in the goal, and sneaked towards the one meter behind Canizares, presumably afraid that if Ronaldo hit the ball vigorously, they would also be hit in the goal. In the middle, Canizares came to block, reducing the range of possible hits.


    Ronaldo, who was extremely calm when he was single-handed, didn''t know if he was too calm. After adjusting for two steps, the shot was weak and the ball was lightly raised above the beam.


    Villa and Kaka were relieved.


    Canizares was relieved.


    Ronaldo stood in his place and sighed in the sky, and then began to complain about his squandering.


    The crazy lion fans in the stands didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. The glorious life of Glennshire, the two players who were outsourcing in the middle of the road, all rolled into the goal. C Luo Huang Ayala was also perfect. It is disappointing.


    After 3 minutes, Millwall made a comeback. Cristiano Ronaldo drove the ball from the left and suddenly turned inward in front of Canela. The other party could not keep up with Cristiano Ronaldo''s rhythm. After the change of direction, Albelda and Ayala wanted to jointly block him. Ronaldo passed the ball to Alonso who came up with an assist. After the ball came out, Ronaldo directly cut into the ribs of the penalty area and Alonso kept the ball. A straight plug like a scalpel was sent, and the ball was returned to Ronaldo. A vertical hit against the wall was very successful.


    There was no longer any hesitation on the goal diagonally, and Ronaldo volleyed the goal directly!


    Canizares blocked the goal and blocked the ball from near the corner. The ball fell outside the penalty area. Behind C Ronaldo, Albelda wanted to keep the ball free, but he was unexpectedly used by the small man Ram to use the chest in advance. Unloading forward, Ayala came up to defend, and Ram flexibly stepped laterally with his right foot. After flashing Ayala, a kick from outside the penalty area was displayed.


    The ball draws a perfect arc and dangles into the upper right corner of the Valencia goal, the dead end!


    "5:0! Millwall''s full-back Ram also scored a goal! The German teenager played a pleasing arc outside the penalty area! Valencia collapsed and their defense was chaotic, especially by Mill Wall players have lost contact with their teammates after a single attack. Millwall¡¯s continued attack is very threatening! La Liga champions and season UEFA Cup champion Valencia are being defeated by Premier League champions and season Champions League champion Milwaukee Er... slaughter!"

 Chapter 1046： Tennos success

    This year''s European Super Cup is not as good as last year''s warring parties. The scene was one-sided, and Millwall overwhelmed Valencia.


    At the end of the game, Aldridge shook hands with Ranieri, and the numb look on the tinker''s face made many fans feel sad.


    Millwall won the second championship trophy in the new season.


    The team was disbanded in Monaco, and the internationals were going to the national team.


    After many years, Aldridge went to the UEFA Champions League draw again.


    This is Carter¡¯s suggestion to him to increase the exposure rate. When the world football changes dramatically, Millwall¡¯s past comfortable state needs to sound the alarm.


    Before the European Super Cup, in accordance with usual practice, UEFA''s best awards will be awarded.


    Millwall unexpectedly became the biggest winner.


    Mr. Ronaldo was picked by Ronaldinho.


    The best goalkeeper is Porto¡¯s Baia.


    The best defender is Nestor Millwall.


    The best midfielder is Ronaldinho of Millwall.


    The best striker is Henry of Millwall.


    The best coach, for several years in a row, in addition to being won by Ancelotti the previous year and picked up by Ferguson in 2000, the awards of other years have been won by Aldridge, and this year is no exception.


    Groundbreaking, before going to the UEFA Champions League lottery ceremony, Aldridge received an official UEFA interview in Monaco.


    In the interview, he did not avoid the topic of Millwall''s star defection.


    "Millwall is a mature and successful club, we will not be completely unrecognizable because of the lack of who, but people probably ignore the question, what is Millwall''s pursuit? If we are limited to survival, at the top level Survival, of course, even if we reduce the strength a little bit, we are still one of the ten strongest teams in Europe, but we are not just survival, we have a pursuit, we are not to become one of the strong, but to Become the strongest! Beyond all other competitors, so we are doing our best when building the team, we don¡¯t want to be in the middle of nothing!


    Faced with UEFA reporters and cameras, Aldridge talked eloquently and did not conceal his ambitions.


    One day later, the results of the draw of the UEFA Champions League group stage were announced.


    After the restructuring of the Champions League, the grading principle has passed over time, and the points accumulated by the strong teams have made the seed team''s advantage more and more. Therefore, it is difficult for the group stage to create a group of death, unless the old giants leave the field for many years and return Champions League.


    As the defending champion, Millwall''s grouping, Aldridge is not worried, good or bad, in fact there is not much difference.


    Millwall, Monaco, Olympiacos, A Coru?a.


    If outsiders say that this is the death group, then from the standpoint of Monaco and A Coru?a, the challenge to Millwall is not great.


    The new season of European war kicked off, and Audric returned home to accompany his family. When FIFA match day came, he finally didn''t have to go to the national team anymore, and he could steal for a long time.


    During this period, Millwall''s new CEO Carter announced several heavy news one after another.


    Millwall will start replacing shirt sponsors next summer, Adidas becomes their new partner, and brings Millwall an average of ¡ê25 million per season in sponsorship fees, a figure that is now the best in the world.


    At the same time, there are other sponsorship contracts that are also updated in the same period. Carter used his previous business network resources to quickly display amazing capabilities in his new position. The long-sleeved good dance brings Millwall¡¯s more stable business benefits in the future. .


    After the FIFA game day, Millwall players returned to the club.


    The fifth round of the Premier League.


    Chelsea dull Aston Villa at 0:0 away.


    In another game.


    Millwall sat in the Lion King Stadium and easily defeated visiting West Brom with a score of 4:0!


    After five rounds, Millwall topped the list!


    Chelsea trailed by 2 points.


    Fleet Street mocked Mourinho''s team: You didn''t even hold up to 5 Premier League rounds!


    Aldridge was not surprised when he was the leader in the team''s standings. The reporter asked them in three words.


    Fleet Street believes that in the league competition, Aldridge has more control over the team''s physical fitness and the ability to cope with the competition in different environments than Mourinho. The FIFA virus is not without impact on Millwall, but Millwall can Minimize negative effects.


    Midweek League Cup.


    Millwall continued to sit at home and ushered in Coventry''s challenge.


    The Lion King stadium has a 90% attendance rate. This stadium, which can accommodate more than 60,000 spectators, played a fundamental strength that does not match its opponents today, and fans also know that Aldridge will rotate, so there is no stadium stand. Fill up.


    But the spectators who came to the stadium were still very enthusiastic.


    Aldridge sent a very young lineup.


    Goalkeeper: Palyuka.


    Guards: Ramos, Balzali, Neil, Baines.


    Midfielders: Pedretti, Moutinho, Kaka.


    Forwards: Larson, Villa, Glennshire.


    In the league after the FIFA game day, Kaka returned to South America with Ronaldinho, so he rested for two days. Nedved played 90 minutes in the last game, outstanding performance, scored two West Brom ball.


    Coventry came to guard against the dead, Kaka was not used to it at first, because first of all the defensive pressure was too great, and secondly Moutinho couldn¡¯t press like Alonso to attract firepower to liberate him. The on-the-spot command has always been directed by Kaka, let him do more tandem, let the offense be more patient in the frontcourt, and accelerate the passing rate, through the overall rhythm to defeat the opponent''s dense defense.


    Coventry persisted for 30 minutes and assisted Larsson with a header from the sideline by Baynes in the 31st minute.


    After leading the score, the game situation suddenly turned bright to Millwall.


    Aldridge also stopped frequently directing actions, allowing players to play by reading the game themselves.


    In the second half, Coventry hoped to play a fast break, but the ball was intercepted by Pedretti just after halftime. Millwall made a fast break in the frontcourt. After a series of fast forwards, Kaka was in the middle. Break through the penalty area and send the ball into the opponent''s goal.


    At this time, Aldridge was ready to make a substitution and let Villa take a rest. On FIFA match day, Villa began to be used by the Spanish national team. It was an attempt. In addition to Morentes and Raul, Spain At the same time there was Golden Boy Torres budding.


    In the 60th minute, Aldridge made a substitution and Villa was replaced, requiring him to recuperate and play the key battle of the league.


    This substitution has no special significance for the game, but for the players, as well as the players'' family, it has absolute historical significance.


    Because Millwall replaced the player, named Messi!


    Since Messi entered the first team, today is the first time Messi was included in the game list, so his father called all friends and relatives to watch the Lion King Stadium together, the ticket was specially sent by the club from Aldridge Go to Messi''s family and arrange them in the stands on the edge of the court.


    At the moment Messi''s father hugged Messi''s brother from left to right, cheering like countless mad lion fans behind him, and many fans'' applause was given to the next Villa.


    Messi''s brother shouted excitedly, cheering for him, and Messi''s father burst into tears with excitement.


    This talented elf has a congenital physical disease. Fortunately, fortunately, he has not been destroyed by injury. Now, he has begun his football dream, and he has truly embarked on the stage of the green world, marching toward the supreme throne!


    Many Millwall fans who were loyal to the scene also knew Messi. They loved him very much, just as they also love Ronaldo. Although they are not of England nationality, they came to the club when a player was less than 12 years old. After several years of growth here, it can eventually play for the club, which will make the fans'' feelings towards the players special.


    The Millwall Junior and Youth teams, the series of dazzling achievements, are inseparable from the shadows of Messi, Ronaldo, Aguero, former Villa, Alonso, De Rossi and others.


    The star cradle of the mad lion has a new star output, and today he is wearing a shirt and fighting in all directions!


    Coventry is not Valencia. They played away and had a huge gap with Millwall. They didn¡¯t have much to defend their honour. The League Cup won Millwall, which means they were unlucky, especially not yet. For home battles, if you can get home battles, you can make a lot of money on the tickets anyway. Now, you can only pay a little more for the TV broadcast fee.


    After Villa went off, Larson moved to play the center, Messi played the winger on the right.


    Coventry doesn''t pay much attention to Messi''s "little point", they don''t pay attention to how the Millwall youth team is.


    Messi didn''t show up in the early days after playing, and completed the pass coordination with his teammates step by step. When there was no space and absolute certainty, Messi did not try to break through.


    He passed the ball several times, and the Coventry player who marked him on his side gradually lowered his vigilance against Messi.


    When Kaka distributed the ball to Messi on the right in the 77th minute of the game, Messi suddenly drew the ball inwards, and once started, he swayed the opponent in front of him, and then accelerated and changed direction when he came to the penalty area. Entering the penalty area, breaking through the opponent''s entire guard line, cheering in the stands, Messi''s father and brothers roared wildly.


    Messi gently rolled the ball with his left foot, the ball lifted into the air, and flew towards the goal. The unpredictable arc was in the sight of all the audience. When the ball hit the inside of the goal post at the far end of the goal !


    Wonderful goal!


    "Wow! Audience friends in front of the TV, please remember the name of the goal scorer. He is a very famous youth player of the Millwall youth team. His name is Messi, and he is the frontline for Millwall today. Before the team''s debut, he has won many honors for the youth team and low-level echelon. The personal goal record of the England Youth League last season was refreshed by him, and the goal record of the Youth FA Cup was also refreshed by him. Now, he has scored his first goal in the Millwall first team! This is his first show! Look at his skillful foot skills when he breaks through, making the opponent unable to keep up with the explosive speed, and His calmness when shooting, we have reason to believe that he will achieve high achievements in Millwall in the future. Audiences who like Millwall must remember him!"


    Messi ran to the side of the court with a smile after scoring a goal, and rushed in front of Aldridge, er, because he was short, more like he rushed into Aldridge''s arms.


    Aldridge bent slightly around his shoulders, pointed to the stand not far away, and smiled at him: "Go and celebrate with your family, you should share this moment with them, they paid too much for you !"


    Messi turned to look at Aldridge and said, "I know, boss, thank you."


    Aldridge patted his back, Messi stopped talking and trot to the edge of the stand.


    His father smiled with tears in his eyes. After Messi came over, he wanted to hug Messi. As a result, Aguero rushed past him excitedly and screamed: "Messi, you are amazing, just played. It¡¯s a goal! It¡¯s amazing! I envy it!¡±


    After Messi hugged with his best friend, he also hugged with his father and brother. Many crazy lion fans around came to praise him, encourage him, and even young people were chasing him.


    This scene was locked in for a long time by live TV footage, and in the future Messi''s personal career review, often as the opening picture, he rushed into Aldridge''s arms and made his family very proud...

 Chapter 1047： Swing the bus

    Millwall eventually defeated Coventry 3-1 to advance to the next round of the League Cup.


    The mid-week games were all in the evening. After the game, Aldridge simply gave an interview and talked about Messi, who scored the goal of the game''s debut, and he did not hesitate.


    "For a short time in the past, the outside world knew that Millwall''s youth team had a talented young man. Messi''s name was also widely spread among many senior scouts. Many clubs have hoped to get it since the previous year. He, but Millwall is very much looking forward to Messi¡¯s future, and I am glad that he himself stayed firmly in Millwall to chase his football dream. The first show scored goals, everything is dreamy and perfect, He showed a part of his ability through a short period of performance. Of course, he has not yet fully exerted it. Young people have unlimited possibilities. Messi, his potential is almost unlimited, but he needs patience. As the head coach, I also Need to be calm, he is only 17 years old, he needs correct guidance and use of the court. For the fierce Premier League, Messi needs to be stronger in the future, but we are not worried about this. Still, he is only 17 years old. Career has just begun."


    When leaving the club at night, Aldridge drove home with his son, Bert, who was watching the ball in the box.


    Yue Lang was scarce, and Burt kept turning his head to stare at Aldridge in the co-pilot position, not knowing what he was thinking.


    Earl seems to be pressed for time since going to school. Outside of studying, he has to meet the needs of personal play. Instead of watching the ball tonight, he plays video games at home.


    In front of a traffic light, Aldridge finally turned his head to face Burt, reached out to touch his head, and smiled and asked, "Why are you staring at me?"


    "Dad, if I make my career debut, will you cheer for me on the sidelines like Messi''s father?"


    Aldridge lost his smile and said, "Of course."


    "Will you cheer for me?"


    "Why not?"


    "Will you cry for me?"


    "Okay, if you can score goals, I will cry with excitement."


    "It''s a word!"


    "..."


    In the evening, when I got home and walked upstairs, cheers came from Earl''s room. Aldridge pushed in and saw Earl yelling at the computer screen. He looked closely and felt weird.


    Because since the summer, Earl has been playing a football manager game, and now there is no FM, it is CM. Earl is very entangled in the power of Millwall in the game. Without cheating, he runs an unknown club. Start at a low level, and then the goal is to defeat Millwall in the future...


    Tonight, he probably achieved his goal, so he was a little bit excited.


    Aldridge walked over to pick him up from the computer desk and smiled: "It''s all time, sleep, sleep! Don''t let me remove the computer from your house!"


    "Oh, oh dad, help me save the progress, save the progress, the last time Aunt Yiwen just turned off the computer, my progress is gone! Save it for me."


    "You honestly put me to bed, don''t worry about the rest."


    "Ok?"


    Earl knelt on the bed in pajamas and stared at Aldridge sitting at the computer desk as if he were playing.


    Aldridge is a nostalgic look, and will not really put effort into playing.


    Seeing Earl''s manager''s name, Aldridge could not help but endure.


    Hall II!


    ...


    The sixth round of the Premier League started.


    Millwall''s game is to be the finale, they will visit Old Trafford to challenge Manchester United.


    Chelsea ushered in Tottenham led by Santini on Stamford Bridge.


    At the end of the 90-minute game, Stamford Bridge boos!


    The boos of the Blues fans are for Tottenham.


    Because Tottenham played a 9-0-1 formation in the game.


    The score on the scoreboard is 0:0.


    The two sides shake hands and make peace.


    But Mourinho fired on Tottenham after the game.


    On this day, football also gave birth to a new term: the bus.


    Mourinho satirized Tottenham''s placement of a bus in the penalty area.


    In the standings, Chelsea narrowed the gap with Millwall, one point behind, but Millwall''s game has not yet started.


    The next day, Fleet Street mocked Mourinho in turn.


    "It was almost the same as the Tottenham at White Hart Lane against defending champion Millwall a month ago, and the Tottenham at Chelsea at Stamford Bridge a month later. Santini played a disgusting game against the top teams. 9-0-1 formation, perhaps as Mr. Mourinho said, Tottenham parked a bus in the penalty area, but in White Hart Lane, Millwall blood washed Tottenham with a score of 5:0 At the Stamford Bridge, Chelsea took advantage of the home court, but only ended 0-0 with Tottenham. Mourinho had reason to mock Santini and Tottenham, so we also have reason to satirize Mourinho in turn Mr.: Only allow you to fight against the counterattack, not allow the opponent to swing the bus, right? The opponent must attack your own initiative to give you a chance to counterattack? It is not as good as you admit that the Chelsea position offensive and tough battle level, so there is no Any disputes."


    Regardless of his coaching ability, Santini has at least been a coach of the French team. His vision is still there. Chelsea takes anti-counterfeiting as the core, and the wing breaks through sharply. Of course, they cannot give them space and counterattack opportunities.


    This problem was encountered many years ago after Millwall won the first league title, so they are improving their positional combat ability year by year, especially when the team coached by Aldridge will make appropriate changes, because Millwall It is targeted by many people, and it has been studied by many opponents. If it is unchanged, it is easy to be restricted to death, so even if it is a very successful tactic, in terms of details, Aldridge will always seek new changes to let the opponent target Sexually restricted deployment failed.


    In this round, Millwall was visiting Old Trafford.


    Aldridge led the team to Manchester. Manchester United was not listed as one of the championships at the beginning of the season. After five rounds of the league, Manchester United trailed Millwall by 9 points in the standings!


    Millwall started the game with 5 wins and 15 points.


    Manchester United have 1 win, 3 draws and 1 loss, 6 points.


    In addition to running in the new season, Manchester United has hidden dangers in the back line. The special position of the goalkeeper has begun to cause Ferguson¡¯s headache. Howard¡¯s status has declined. Ferguson has lost patience and Carol has been activated. Heinze needs to adapt to the Premier League. Keane is not as old as he was, and Rooney still needs to integrate. When multiple problems are exposed in multiple positions, Manchester United¡¯s poor record is also reasonable.


    Appearing in Old Trafford, Aldridge shook hands with Ferguson indifferently. There was clearly anxiety between Ferguson''s eyebrows.


    I don''t know whether it is because the team has a poor start in the league, or because he and some of the club''s major shareholders are unhappy because of off-court affairs.


    "The sixth round of the Premier League finale in the new season is about to begin. The defending champion Millwall came to Old Trafford. Will the Red Devils Manchester United win a home victory to end the three-game draw? Today, both sides elaborately hope, The two teams can perform a classic game for all audiences.


    Manchester United started 442.


    Goalkeeper: Carol.


    Guards: Neville, Ferdinand, Sylvester, Heinze.


    Midfielders: Joaquin, Keane, Scholes, Giggs.


    Forwards: Rooney, Fanny.


    Millwall started 433.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Defenders: Schneider, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Ram.


    Midfielders: De Rossi, Alonso, Kaka.


    Forwards: C Ronaldo, Villa, Ronaldinho. "


    From the beginning of the game, Millwall''s competitive state is obviously better than Manchester United, and he hardly sees any home advantage.


    Ferguson''s tactical change in the new season actually turned the team''s 442 into 4231, Scholes'' position was further back, and Rooney played a shadow striker position.


    But at first it seemed that the effect was not particularly ideal, because Manchester United''s familiar routine is to quickly attack the opponent on the side, but now when the two wings in the midfield and the front and back excessively, players need a better understanding.


    Ronaldinho''s recent good condition is the first goal of Manchester United''s marking. It can be said that Millwall successfully suppressed Manchester United''s right attack through Ronaldinho''s threat. Hua Jin must retreat to give Ronaldinho pressure behind him.


    At the beginning of the opening, Ronaldinho broke through Neville on the wing, pushed Manchester United''s defense back, and immediately passed the ball to find the top of the front arc of the penalty area. Kaka was stared to death, but Alonso was plugged into the back. Marking, after a few games in the new season, Alonso feels better and better on the offensive.


    Without stopping the ball, Alonso shot a powerful shot outside the penalty area!


    boom!


    The ball popped on the beam and shook Old Trafford''s goal, shaking the hearts of Manchester United fans.


    Four minutes later, Cristiano Ronaldo broke through Heinze on the right, cut into the penalty area and crossed the ball in front of the goal. Villa grabbed the point and shot, but the angle was too small to hit the ball on the goal net.


    Carol kicked the kick and was directly headed by De Rossi to Ram on the wing. Ram took the ball all the way forward, dunked the ball in front of Joaquin and then suddenly plugged into the rib on the left penalty area. After shaking the right side, Ferdinand lost his center of gravity and Ronaldinho changed direction to continue to the bottom line. He stepped closer to the goal of Manchester United. Because he has been close to zero angle, Ronaldinho is not in a hurry. He is waiting for his teammates to run, Kaka and Alonso and Villa are all marked by Manchester United. When Carol thought he could absolutely block Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho picked up the ball in place and took it to the back of the goal. On the other side, Ronaldo He jumped high at the back post, but he jumped early!


    At the moment when it was most necessary to push the ball, it seemed that the ball was hitting his head, and then the bottom line was ejected.


    In the restricted area of ??Manchester United, there was a lot of noise, Aldridge raised his forehead and sighed. Good opportunities cannot be wasted like this!


    Ferguson was expressionless and felt helpless.


    Ronaldinho, who breaks the table, can offset at least two of Manchester United''s defensive players in terms of pair consumption, and then his teammates in other positions are all good, and the state is not bad, so sometimes I feel that Manchester United The comparison of the number of offenses and defenses is less than Millwall, the reason is also here, the partial defense can not be equal to the partial disappearance of the defensive strength.


    Ferguson does not want to fight back, but Manchester United can only passively fight back. Their right is almost paralyzed. The threat on the left is very intuitive.


    Giggs is also over thirty years old, but his condition is maintained very well, and his technical proficiency is unmatched, but the speed may be slightly inferior than before, but it is not obvious.


    When Manchester United fought back and forth again and again, Giggs drove the ball on the left and they were their main means.


    Schneider is also a veteran, competitive state, physical state can be comparable to Giggs, especially on the defensive consciousness, he did not once let Giggs into the defense, Giggs in the side pass, today Shir Wa could not be considered successful in blocking Fanny, but at least a few points could be grabbed, and when he could not grab a point, Nesta would immediately make up for him, Silva made a judgment based on the situation and proceeded. The next step is defensive movement and choice. This is a game that requires him to concentrate and turn his thinking fast, because Manchester United has one of the world''s best opportunistic forwards: Van Nistelrooy, the king of the small penalty area.

 Chapter 1048： Lore

    Old Trafford.


    The Red Devils fans were worried.


    The league opened for a month. After five rounds, Manchester United fell behind to give Millwall 9 points.


    The possibility of Manchester United''s championship in the new season is directly reduced to freezing point.


    Just like Manchester Media''s statistical analysis: In all seasons where Millwall leads Manchester United by 9 points, Manchester United has never succeeded in a comeback.


    Although the new season has only been played for a month, there are more than 30 Premier League games. There are infinite possibilities in the future. However, many fans think that the statistical analysis of the media makes sense.


    Because Manchester United seems to have many outstanding issues.


    However, if you beat Millwall at home today, you can narrow the gap between the two sides to 6 points, which is a gap that reignited confidence.


    As a result, the anticipating fans came to the stadium to watch the game. After the opening, Millwall''s aggressive attack seemed to be a pot of cold water pouring on the fans'' heads.


    Apart from regretting that the team did not seize several good opportunities, Aldridge also showed anxiety in his eyes.


    In these offenses, one of Millwall''s players failed to be activated.


    Who?


    Kaka!


    Keane is a top midfielder with defensive follow-ups. At the same time, the physical confrontation is also very aggressive. Kaka cannot find an opportunity in the offense. The chance of a one-half goal is repeatedly forced by Keane with his body and the competition fails.


    If Kaka can exert his power, Kami can look for good opportunities in the opportunities of Millwall and contribute to the team.


    In the final analysis, Kaka still has room for improvement. As for whether Keane is in his later years, that is not what Aldridge cares about, because other top midfielders will be born in the same generation. Kaka must also face.


    While Manchester United fans were worried, Manchester United played an exciting offense.


    Because Kaka was frozen by Keane in this game, Alonso''s assist pre-pressure range became larger. When Manchester United counterattacked in the 28th minute of the game, Alonso lost Scholes when he returned to defense.


    Giggs passed down the triangle after going down on the left and Scholes kept up with a long shot outside the penalty area!


    Bout hit the ball, but he let it go!


    The ball bounced back in the penalty area was fired into the net by Fanny.


    Tiago Silva was pale, and at the moment Scholes had a long shot, he lost sight of Fanny because he was distracted to pay attention to the result of Scholes'' shot.


    It was the moment of distraction that Fanny ran into the penalty area and completed the supplementary shot.


    "Manchester United scored! After the opening, Manchester United, who was suppressed, sent the ball into Millwall''s gate through a counterattack. Butt saved the shot and Fanny made a shot. In this defense, Millwall''s defender did not cling. Fanny, Silva is still young and inexperienced. If you loosen the marking on Fanny, you will definitely be punished!"


    Aldridge made a unique gesture to Tiago Silva.


    Thiago Silva looked much better when he saw it.


    Aldridge told him before about defender players, what defensive players need to experience in growing up, making mistakes is a necessary process, there is no need to be grudge.


    That gesture reminded him not to care.


    Silva''s face was ruthless. He didn''t want to care, but he had to. But it was self-blame before. Now it''s a fighting spirit. He doesn''t want to live up to Audric''s expectations and commitment.


    To be able to play a major role in the record of the world¡¯s No. 1 giants in recent years is definitely a high-profile event. I don¡¯t know how many people are envious. How heavy this trust is. It¡¯s not the parties themselves, others can¡¯t understand it. Silva is not Nes Tower came to Millwall with a world-class reputation, he is a wild boy, almost wild boy without a ball!


    When describing the trajectory of his career, the outside world almost always uses a description similar to "getting rich overnight" or "flying on a branch to become a phoenix", mostly with mocking and derogatory tone.


    Silva doesn''t care about outside voices, he only cares about how his head coach treats him.


    Once upon a time, I hope the boss will not give him up.


    Now, I hope I don''t feel ashamed of trusting the boss!


    Millwall¡¯s long-term self-confidence will not cause them to lose a square in the first goal.


    The situation on the court is almost the same as before the score changed.


    Ronaldinho also saw that today Kaka was eaten to death by Keane, so in the offensive routine, Ronaldinho took the initiative to take advantage of this.


    He had a brief exchange with Kaka.


    The meaning is clear, if you can''t play the threat of the ball, then use the threat of the ball to serve the team.


    Kaka understood that he did not play well when receiving the ball and attacking the ball. Keen¡¯s tycoon is not always soft-hearted. Don¡¯t say that the tackle is just a hit, as if it was a fist. If it weren¡¯t for Kaka who had strengthened his body at Millwall in the past few years, he might be directly hit by flying. The biggest headache for Kaka is that Keane is small and fine, and his defensive technical movements and consciousness are top-level. Uncomfortable.


    In the 41st minute, Ronaldinho did not continue to attack on the wing after taking the ball on the left side of the frontcourt. He suddenly cut inwards and took Kaka directly to the forward line. Keane chose to retreat and hesitate. Kaka, for fear that Kaka, like past Nedved, inserted forward and turned offside to make the back line dizzy.


    With Keane''s withdrawal, Scholes came to **** Ronaldinho, who made a two-for-one with Alonso, then came to the middle of the penalty area and sent a concealed straight ball.


    Villa ran diagonally from Ferdinand''s side and poked the ball forward when it touched the ball.


    Silvester hurriedly intercepted and kicked Villa!


    If you let Villa pass, it is a half-sword!


    While Villa fell in the penalty area, the referee whistle to interrupt the game, pointing to Manchester United penalty kick!


    Ferguson was dissatisfied and rushed out of the coach seat to chatter against the fourth official, but this could not change the referee''s penalty.


    Aldridge slightly tilted his head to look at Manchester United''s penalty area. Since he led the England team to win the World Cup championship, Millwall has rarely complained about the referee''s penalty in the English arena. It is not enough for the referee to take care of them. That¡¯s it, but if there is any tendency, that is the Millwall game, the penalty scale will be stricter than the conventional standards.


    Fans joked that there are two types of Premier League games, one is fierce confrontation with a loose standard of Premier League games, and the other is the Millwall game where the referee is clear.


    Any team that takes a brutal foul and almost meets Millwall will be a player with a yellow card. There are also a few red cards.


    It is well known that the Premier League penalties are loose.


    Only Millwall participated in the game, the referee enforcement will be very strict.


    Ferguson coached in England six or seven years before Aldridge, and he established prestige earlier.


    However, in the past ten years, Aldridge¡¯s accumulated prestige and contribution to England have made the gap between the two in the ¡°invisible energy¡± of English football.


    Penalty kick.


    The penalty shooter sent by Millwall is Ronaldinho.


    Facing goalkeeper Carroll, Ronaldinho was not affected by the noise made by the home fans. He swung his legs when shooting to make a fake move, making goalkeeper Carroll misunderstanding that Ronaldinho would kick the ball in his usual direction. Right-footed shots usually play on the left side of the goal, but Ronaldinho easily pushes the ball into the lower right corner of the goal. The speed of the ball is not fast. It seems that his mentality when shooting is calm and calm.


    "Ronaldinho scored a penalty and leveled the score for Millwall! Manchester United failed to bring the lead into the locker room."


    At the end of the first half, the score is 1:1.


    Aldridge was thoughtful on the way back to the locker room.


    He made a bad start in arranging the starter today.


    Kaka.


    It¡¯s not that Kaka can¡¯t go up, but in an ideal state before the game, he hopes that Kaka will sharpen his ability to resist the pressure by starting. Now, maybe Nedved may start and consume Keane in the confrontation. In the second half, he has plenty of energy Kaka will play again, the impact will be stronger.


    In fact, Nedved and Kaka can start either way, but starting from the idea of ??stabilizing the new main force, Kaka is the future of Millwall, let Nedved consume, Kaka will explode, and may be against Kaka Grow better.


    In the second half, Manchester United protected the goal by actively fighting and stubborn defense.


    In the 60th minute of the game, Aldridge replaced Kaka and let Nedved play.


    Nedved also needs a short time to enter the game.


    In the 64th minute, Ronaldinho made a 45-degree diagonal pass, and Nedv¨§d scored into the penalty area to crush Silvester''s header, but the top of the ball was a bit off.


    Aldridge looked indifferent on the sidelines, he will win this game, even if he is a guest at Old Trafford, he will also win!


    After another 3 minutes, he made a second substitution, De Rossi came off and Larsson appeared!


    Millwall''s formation is similar to 442, but it is not exactly, and he is extremely involved in the offense!


    Ferguson''s pupils shrunk, but he didn''t expect Audridge not to play cards according to common sense.


    Even though Aldridge''s posture on the sidelines looked calm, it seemed as if he was invincible.


    Manchester United''s offense couldn''t be connected, he dropped a midfielder to gamble with the opponent.


    Larsson played a double center with Villa after playing. Cristiano Ronaldo was also a winger, but Ronaldinho''s position retreated slightly and became a side waist, parallel to Nedved behind the striker.


    Manchester United launched a threatening offensive in the 73rd minute, but Rooney was intercepted by Nesta while preparing to shoot in the penalty area.


    There was a sigh in the stands, and Manchester United fans felt extremely sorry.


    Millwall''s offense is more aggressive. There are more players on the front line.


    In the 82nd minute, Cristiano Ronaldo made a cross on the right. He didn''t go to the pass, but the top of the arc outside the penalty area.


    The pressure from Larsson and Villa made the Manchester United defender not dare to push out. Cristiano Ronaldo passed the ball back. Keane took a slow shot and missed the ball too much to mark Nedved. Nedved Did not touch the ball, Scholes was shaken by Keane, he thought Keane will release the ball at the landing point, but Keane did not!


    After the ball bounced off the arc at the top of the penalty area, it flew a meter in front of Scholes and immediately flew back.


    Ronaldinho kept the ball and gently gave it to Nedved forward. After Keane missed the landing point, he turned to look at the direction of the ball and lost Nedved.


    Nedved volleyed his legs in the penalty area without stopping the ball!


    boom!


    Carol couldn''t return to the sky, and the ball rubbed Ferdinand''s head into the upper left corner of the goal!


    The crazy lion lore the Red Devils

 Chapter 1049： Look at it next May?

    "Nedved scored a goal that reversed Manchester United! Sir Hall''s substitution was very purposeful. When he came to Old Trafford, he just wanted 3 points, Millwall, to kick Manchester United out of here. Champions! Although the league has just started for a month!"


    Old Trafford, Nedved is the team''s hero as always!


    When the team embraced wildly, Odric played a third card and ended the game.


    Before Manchester United reopened, Millwall made a substitution.


    "Ronaldinho, who has performed well in this game, was replaced and replaced by Pedretti. Now Millwall wants to re-strengthen the backline and Sir Hall wants the team to return to balance. This Didn¡¯t give Manchester United any chance."


    In order to capture 3 points, he withdrew De Rossi. Now, a defensive midfielder is re-deployed, and Nedved''s position is also withdrawn. Millwall is still in the 433 formation, but there is a subtle difference from the previous one. .


    Ferguson is also fighting, he used Smith to remove the full-back Heinze, to increase the offensive force on the front line.


    In Manchester United''s extreme pressure offensive, Millwall''s Nesta became a star on the field. First, a series of headers were released, and then Fanny was frozen with elegant defensive techniques. Fanny''s fake swing in the penalty area Outstanding, failed to pass Nesta, Silva also became more and more courageous, Smith played on the offensive line almost invisible, because in this area, Silva completely prevented him from touching the ball!


    In the 89th minute, Ronaldo, who changed to the left, answered Ram''s long pass and rushed from the left.


    When he came to the front of the penalty area, Manchester United had a small number of defenders. Villa and Larson actively crossed the position to help Ronaldo cover. Ronaldo also dribbled the opponent''s defense in addition to his teammates after cutting. In the middle, he dropped Ferdinand, who came to supplement the defense. He was like a sharp knife from the left side and inserted diagonally into the right hinterland of Manchester United. Eventually, he completed a volley of a shocking stone, and Carol was unresponsive!


    "3:1, 3:1, Millwall is locked in victory by C Ronaldo! Manchester United is about to usher in four rounds, and Millwall is leading the standings with a six-game winning streak in the new season! God, the former Premier League overlord Manchester United , 12 points behind the leader just one month after the start of the league! 12 points! This is almost an impossible gap to catch up with Millwall, Millwall will beat Manchester United through a victory at Old Trafford Crown ranks!"


    After scoring, Ronaldo was angry, screaming and running along the sidelines. The game was about to enter injury time, but he seemed to have energy that he could not use.


    The teammates who chased Ronaldo ran behind him. Ronaldo did not stop around the sidelines and made a big circle. He took the teammates behind him and rushed to the coach seat.


    Aldrich greeted them with a laugh here.


    Snapped.


    Ronaldo rushed over and gave Aldrich a high-five.


    Snapped.


    Villa, who was running behind him, immediately followed by Aldridge high-five.


    Larson, Nedved, Alonso...


    Including the goalkeeper, Millwall players were celebrating as if they were standing in line, high-five with Aldridge to celebrate, this scene made the crazy lion fans in the stands of Old Trafford simply turned upside down!


    "This is Sir Hall''s team. This is Millwall. There is no shortage of passion and unity. When they are handsome and put all their energy into the stadium, they not only can''t seem to beat, they just can''t be beaten! And they , You can conquer everything!"


    After the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Aldridge walked to shake hands with the ferocious Ferguson. There was no verbal communication between the two. Ferguson¡¯s mood was terrible, while Aldridge slightly restrained his joy. Together with his disciples, he walked into the player''s channel with his head high and spirited.


    The six seasons of the Premier League in the new season.


    Most fans of the Red Devils pessimistically believe the alarmist statement on Fleet Street: Manchester United, withdrew from the championship this season!


    In the first six rounds, they lost Chelsea away, lost Millwall at home, and tied all three games they should win. In such a state, who can believe they can compete for the Premier League title!


    Following the last round of Fleet Street, fearing that the world would not shout out: Mourinho''s team failed to survive the 5 rounds of the league.


    Another round of league.


    Millwall set aside Chelsea by 4 points!


    Three days later, Millwall ushered in the UEFA Champions League group stage at home and swept the couch to welcome Monaco.


    Kaka, who failed to show his strength at Old Trafford, suffocated his grievances and squandered his abilities in this game. Ronaldinho was a little tired from the continuous battle, so he did his best for his teammates in the game. Kaka , Ronaldo and Villa performed a wonderful young storm, Kaka scored twice, Ronaldo and Villa each scored a goal, Millwall sent Monaco at home 4:1, Continue their strength in the European War.


    In the seventh round of the Premier League, Aldridge made a rotation.


    Larson, Nedvide, Glenchard, Ramall and others played well, helping Millwall to win Norwich at home with a bloodless 2:0.


    In the same round, Chelsea visited the Riverside Stadium, ending two consecutive draws and winning a 1-0 win over Middlesbrough.


    In the Mid-League Cup, Aldridge sent a young lineup and Messi qualified for the first-team starter for the first time in his career. However, in the game against Xie on Wednesday, he did not perform well. His breakthrough was still very effective, but The opponent''s emphasis on him began to strengthen, and he could not continue to play the ball. Audric focused on adjusting Messi''s posture. In the second half, Messi sent an assist to Moutinho after the breakthrough, The latter made a long shot from the penalty area to help Millwall win a small goal and advance to the next round.


    In the eighth round of the Premier League, Chelsea finally played a big score in the league.


    They swept Blackburn at Stamford Bridge 4:0.


    Millwall took a 3-1 win at home against Charlton.


    Seeing the end of September, fans of Millwall and Chelsea held their breath.


    Because, the meeting of these two teams will come soon!


    In the second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Millwall played in Greece and was a guest at Olympiacos, defeating his opponent 2-1 on the road.


    Back in the league, in the ninth round of the Premier League, in Manchester, Manchester City''s home court, the Premier League''s shocking birth was born.


    Chelsea lost 0:1 away!


    Mourinho left Manchester with a somber face, and Chelsea will be at the Lion King Stadium in the next round!


    And this defeat, I am afraid that will cast a shadow over their biggest rival in the league competition.


    In the later game, Millwall was a guest farmer Fulham, who scored 3 points with Villa and Schneider''s goal of 2:0.


    Premier League 9 rounds.


    Millwall started 9 straight games.


    Set aside Chelsea by 7 points!


    After this battle, Millwall''s team was full of momentum, and the mad lion fans were arrogant, and they couldn''t wait to welcome Chelsea to their home court!


    Many football media on Fleet Street and even across Europe have focused their attention on Chelsea''s guest league to challenge Millwall.


    The day before the game, Aldridge attended the pre-match press conference.


    Before the start of the new season, Aldridge is interviewed to look forward to the new season. He will talk about Chelsea. After all, it is a competitor. In terms of the overall environment, it is normal to talk about it.


    However, in the 9 rounds of the league after the start of the game, Aldrich was never willing to talk about Chelsea either before or after the game.


    They won the game, lost points in the draw, and lost the ball. Aldridge was ignored.


    Mourinho is in the limelight, whether it is quibbling, covering up, or paying attention to the outside world, he is a celebrity in the media.


    It''s just that when he has done so much, it has always been the focus of the focus, but Chelsea is behind Millwall by 7 points in the league, which makes many critics outside the world find it ridiculous.


    Now that Chelsea are about to visit the Lion King Stadium, Aldridge naturally needs to talk about opponents.


    His state is relatively easy. Millwall has started a 15-game winning streak in all competitions in the new season. He has nothing to be nervous about. After ten years of hard work, Aldridge is no longer a fledgling kid. The team has rich and varied skills and tactics. Rotating to adjust the team''s status is quite impressive, all this makes him not only relaxed and easy to lead the team, but also particularly outstanding record.


    At the pre-match press conference, he smiled and said: "Chelsea did a good job. After the league started 9 games 6 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, a very good start. However, I think Millwall can completely avoid worrying about Chelsea, Before the season, many of them will attract our attention. Now, what is necessary? Please, what is the pursuit of Chelsea? They spent more than 300 million pounds to build the team in the two seasons, and then? Counterattack, counterattack, counterattack, this is their pursuit, scoring a goal, and then slow down the pace of the game, reducing the aggressiveness of the attack, there are people who still praise Chelsea''s tactical superb? 50 million lineup counterattack, superb tactics? Hahahaha..."


    Aldridge made no secret of his contempt for Chelsea.


    This is strategic contempt and tactical attention!


    Chelsea''s sidelines are anti-reversal. To say how fresh it is is nonsense.


    To put it bluntly, it is slightly different from Arsenal in details. Arsenal passes through the ground and the player''s range of activity is very large. Chelsea''s wing storm uses modern winger''s play and hides the offensive point. Drogba The striker pivot has an obvious effect. Lampard was surprised after inserting it, but there is a big premise, that is, counterattack, and only counterattack. The open space can make their sideline fast and let players plug in afterwards. There is more time to run and it¡¯s easier to coordinate.


    In itself, this is the survival philosophy of the weak team, to fight back the strong team.


    But if the strong teams play anti-reversely, how do you call the weak teams live?


    So there is also a voice in the reviews on Fleet Street: Mourinho¡¯s team made the opponents afraid to attack!


    Nonsense, how to attack?


    There is a gap in the strength of individual soldiers, but also attacked to give you space to fight back? Not looking for death?


    Millwall also plays anti-anti, but it is not a core tactic, because you can¡¯t completely rule the ball in 90 minutes, and you can¡¯t let your opponent not attack, but most of the time, Millwall still focuses on position and attack. Burning the war in the opponent''s half, it was the opponent who could not resist the offensive pressure and collapsed, but it wasn''t Millwall who attacked the opponent dizzyly.


    In an interview before Mourinho''s expedition, he again reiterated that Audric was a hypocrite.


    "He said that he didn''t care about Chelsea, but he has been studying Chelsea, and has made a judgment about us. Obviously, he does not respect his opponents. The league is a long-distance race. The Premier League is of course highly competitive. If the Premier League is a place where you can easily win the championship, Then I won¡¯t be here. Chelsea¡¯s road is still long. We are aiming for the championship. That¡¯s all. We are not behind Millwall in the standings. We are not worried. We will look at it again in May next year."


    Mourinho hinted that by May of next year, Chelsea will surpass Millwall, but in a later news commentary, many critics looked at the Derby between London''s deadly enemies on guest shows, but said with a smile: If they lose tomorrow''s game, Chelsea will be behind by 10 points to Millwall, who will look forward to May next year? Oh, in addition to Millwall fans, they will look forward to early May to celebrate their success in defending."


    ...


    The night before the game, Aldridge received a call from Andrew in the study and stood in front of the window. Aldridge said to the phone: "Well, tomorrow is the right time, it was so decided."

 Chapter 1050： Chelsea is really rich

    The rooster sang the world white.


    Even on Saturday, London has been bustling since the early morning. People who are busy with their careers rush to work, street tabloids are sold, and there are not a few distributed for free.


    Most Londoners know that there will be a highlight of the Premier League today.


    If the fans who watched last night''s football show did not particularly look forward to today''s football news, it might be the war of words between the two young coaches, or the game preview and result prediction of the London rival Derby.


    However, when countless people are enjoying breakfast in the subway station, in the restaurant, or sitting in the bus to browse the news, everyone is attracted by the headlines of today''s major sections of football newspapers.


    "Chelsea Nova Mutu takes drugs, the evidence is solid!"


    "The FA confirmed a positive urine test report after Mutu. The penalty was announced today. Mutu has been suspended for two years! A heavy fine of ¡ê200,000!"


    "Romanian star may be unemployed in England!"


    Chelsea striker Mutu became the news star on Fleet Street today!


    Almost all newspapers are covering his scandal.


    Tabloids that could not obtain confidential information followed the crowd and turned back Mutu¡¯s previous black history to review, including the exposure of the video taken by the heroine of the party and his third-level actress in the apartment six months ago.


    In today¡¯s newspaper, the rigorous newspapers focus on the penalty announced by the FA.


    Mutu''s urine test was positive, and the suspension was inevitable, especially confirming his involvement in drugs. This may be more serious than Ferdinand''s missed urine test. Moreover, the penalty for Ferdinand. The Football Club is finally merciful. For other industries, Ferdinand must at least have to Banned for two years, even for life!


    And Mutu was suspended for two years by the FA, which can almost declare that Mutu has no living space in England. Chelsea''s high-cost recruiting striker more than a year ago was abandoned!


    It is not as rigorous as the tabloid tabloid, but published a "witness" testimony, and 24-year-old Australian Monica confirmed that she had taken drugs during Mutu''s sexual transaction with her!


    The news was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day at Stamford Bridge.


    Mourinho got up early in the morning and left the house, but was surrounded by reporters and asked him in response to the Mutu scandal.


    Abu was also furious!


    In Stamford Bridge, Abu''s office, he was furious!


    Players are rich, bubble girls, gambling money, although this is not worth advocating, but it does not break the law!


    I just took drugs, which is not only illegal, but also the mood of drug users is unstable. God knows whether such people will become a bomb!


    Will he seduce his teammates to take drugs together?


    Will he have a big trouble when he is addicted to drugs?


    God knows¡­¡­


    Kenyon looked sad outside Abu''s office.


    When Mourinho came over, Kenyon looked up at him, immediately lowered his head, and sighed.


    Mourinho intends to meet Abu and ask Abu what kind of response the club has to make regarding Mutu''s disposal.


    Kenyon stopped him, saying: "The boss is on the phone with Mutu. Mutu is finished in Chelsea. The club will fire him and sue him. We have lost at least 20 million pounds on Mutu."


    Transfer fee processing funds, as well as high signing fees.


    Mourinho originally wanted to discuss with Abu, but now it seems that it is unnecessary.


    When he was about to leave to stabilize the locker room, Kenyon said to himself: "It''s not like his style..."


    Mourinho turned his head and asked, "What are you talking about?"


    Kenyang raised his eyebrows with a frown, looked at Mourinho and said, "I said, this is not like the style of Aldrich Hall."


    Mourinho froze for a moment, wondering: "What do you mean?"


    Ken Yang smiled bitterly: "Don''t you think that today''s media attack seems to have suddenly exploded? It seems that the FA announced the urine test results later. After the results were announced, we didn''t know our club and directly announced the penalty clause. We didn''t accept it. When we heard the news, Fleet Street knew it all! Today is all over Mutu. What should we be doing today?"


    Mourinho bit his lip, his face dignified and said: "Go to the Lion King Stadium to challenge Millwall, do you mean Aldrich Hall uses this to influence us?"


    Kenyang raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead and smiled bitterly: "You underestimated Aldridge Hall, you just regarded him as a head coach, but he is not just a head coach. Now the most concerned in England What is the game? It is Chelsea against Millwall, it is like the Milan derby, the Spanish national derby, and we, Chelsea, should have taken the opportunity to challenge Millwall to increase our popularity and expand our influence! Straight White, we have the light of Millwall. How many fans around the world are watching the game between us today? Ha ha, now? The Chelsea player scandal has become the headline of the football section! If today is not to play Millwall, If it is against an unknown opponent, the scandal will be sensational, but the negative impact is within controllable, because fans in England, Europe, and even many regions and countries around the world are paying attention to today''s game, so, ha Haha, Chelsea''s club reputation has been hit to a freezing point! What if you lead Millwall to win today? There may be countless fans around the world saying: Chelsea may have players taking drugs, otherwise how can they beat Millwall? Ha ha ha, I''m going to meet the sponsor of the club now, **** mutu!"


    After Kenyon''s explanation, Mourinho only understood the overall bad influence of this matter.


    Objectively speaking, Chelsea''s fight against Millwall must have been the light of Millwall.


    Just like Atletico Madrid to play Real Madrid, the attention received by the match, the attention benefit obtained by Atletico Madrid, of course, is also immersed in the light of Real Madrid.


    On this day, the party that was supposed to take advantage has exploded in a scandal!


    This makes Chelsea severely damaged in terms of the reputation and influence of specific clubs that are not related to competition.


    In other words, Chelsea is not the most watched team on the European and even the world stage.


    They are rich and not fake.


    But money is not for fans.


    Fans only care about achievements in the field of sports.


    Chelsea can''t talk about the details. After Mourinho took over, he didn''t show how beautiful the magic of beautiful football is. Their attention has increased overall, but they have not reached the top level.


    So at other times, Mutu¡¯s drug abuse broke out, and it faded over time.


    However, when today''s attention was higher than usual, this incident caught Chelsea off guard and the image loss was immeasurable.


    The one who suffered the most, not Mourinho, was Kenyon.


    He is responsible for the promotion and management of the club. This negative incident broke out and Chelsea''s commercial development will face unprecedented resistance.


    Mourinho was on the way to the club, and there were reporters at his door. Not only was he harassed, he was also harassed by Chelsea first team players.


    Those reporters were outside the club and asked Chelsea players eloquently.


    Some are just routine, asking if they know about Mutu¡¯s drug use.


    Others were not well-intentioned, and asked directly if there were Mutu drug addicts among them?


    Chelsea players were issued a seal by the club, not to say a word, Mourinho hopes the team can spend the morning calmly, after noon to go to the Lion King Stadium to play.


    Mutu''s drug addiction is like a sudden attack. Chelsea itself is preparing to go to the Lion King Stadium to fight Millwall.


    But under the harassment and harassment of media reporters, they all had some scalp numbness.


    Despite the focus on Mutu¡¯s drug addiction, who dares to ensure that he is absolutely clean?


    It¡¯s not certain that someone is taking drugs like Mutu. It¡¯s just that he is not a model of a gentleman in his daily life. The paparazzi dug up their own black history.


    At noon, Mourinho led his team to East London by bus.


    Just stepping into the boundaries of East London, Millwall fans greeted each other!


    Compared to the fiery chaos with West Ham United¡¯s East London Derby, Millwall fans today are extremely "gentle and polite". They sang loudly or slogans along the way to the Lion King Stadium.


    "Chelsea is really rich, really rich. Players don''t lack money for drugs. They have **** for drugs for six hours.


    And there are many hand-drawn mocking images in the slogans held up to show the Chelsea bus.


    For example, a player wearing a Chelsea jersey lying on the ground with a runny nose and taking a drug pose.


    Chelsea players sitting in the bus try not to see the outside scene as much as possible, disturbed!


    The closer to the Lion King Stadium, the more people around.


    Some Millwall players who were loyal fans started attacking Chelsea''s bus with stones. It seemed that he was watching Chelsea go to the execution ground to die!


    The weather conditions are good in the afternoon after autumn, the sun is shining brightly, and the breeze is slow.


    The Lion King Stadium is full, and only one box is empty. Originally, it was left to Abu. Abu paid for a box to see the ball. Unfortunately, he did not show up. It is estimated that he was in a bad mood.


    Chelsea also squandered troubles without giving Mutu any chance. Before the game, he officially announced the dismissal of Mutu, and he will be held accountable for breach of contract and sued Mutu to the Swiss Sports Arbitration Court.


    This is a manifestation of Chelsea''s public relations ability. Players take drugs and the club can''t keep it. Once it''s gone, the loss of reputation is incalculable.


    The game is about to start.


    Aldridge accompanied the players at the last moment in the locker room. When the team needed to walk out of the locker room, he spoke clangingly and shouted to the team: "Milwall, let''s learn Chelsea!"


    "Oh!"


    The players made a loud roar in unison.


    The locker room door opened, Aldridge came out first, and took the lead with a swagger!

 Chapter 1051： Go to war

    Chelsea and Millwall players lined up in the player channel to get ready to play.


    The players on both sides looked ahead and did not greet people they knew, whether they were former Millwall teammates or national teammates like Ronaldo and Carvalho.


    In the Lion King stadium, Mourinho screamed and shouted behind him. Of course, home fans did not welcome him, and the coach of the dead enemy has always been extremely ridiculous and humiliating.


    Aldrich did not shake hands with Mourinho before the game, he came to the home team coach seat, standing still, mentality.


    Chelsea''s start today with an accident. The haze created by Mutu''s drug addiction shrouded the Blues like a dark cloud, which would make them distracted. Millwall prepared for the game wholeheartedly, plus the benefits of home, Aldridge was naturally confident.


    "In the tenth round of the 2004-2005 Premier League, a focus battle was first played at the Lion King Stadium. This was a derby match between the rivals in London. Millwall, who played at home, played against Chelsea, and after 9 rounds, Millwall Starting with an excellent 9-game winning streak, Chelsea 6 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, this is a very ideal start, but looking at the standings, they are behind by 7 points to the leader, a not small gap. In the game, the London Blues directly confronted each other, which is a 6-point battle. Let''s take a look at the starting lineup of both sides.


    Millwall started 433.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Nesta, Silva, Ram.


    Midfielders: De Rossi, Alonso, Nedved.


    Forwards: C Ronaldo, Villa, Ronaldinho.


    Chelsea started 433.


    Goalkeeper: Cech.


    Guards: Ferreira, Carvalho, Terry, Ashley Cole.


    Midfielders: Essien, Makelele, Lampard.


    Forwards: Robben, Drogba, Duff.


    The confrontation will start soon. Chelsea coach Mourinho said when he took office that Chelsea''s goal was to subvert Millwall''s rule. His mouth said a grand goal, but it fell into place. Today''s game It will be the first test! "


    At the beginning of the game, Chelsea''s posture was very clear: anti-reverse.


    Chelsea¡¯s defense in this period was actually very monotonous. The four backs didn¡¯t assist. The double backs strangled. When they were transferred from defense to offense, they basically relied on four people. .


    After the opening, they played in this way.


    Millwall oppressed to attack after the opening.


    In the first minute of the game, Makelele cut off Ronaldinho''s straight pass to Villa and immediately urged a counterattack. Lampard sent a direct pass to Drogba on the striker in the midfield. De Rossi blocked the pass. Inadvertently slipping on the line failed to intercept the ball, this accident made the fans of the crazy lions in the stands stand tight.


    Drogba got the ball successfully and turned to hit the penalty area, but his ball just took a step. Someone quickly cut the ball from him and Chelsea''s counterattack dissipated!


    Drogba immediately counter-robbed, but hit the man but didn''t break away. The man gave the ball to Ram and then turned to look at Drogba, his eyes indifferent.


    As if silently saying: This is my place, don''t you want to sack wild!


    "The best center defender in the world, 28-year-old Nesta successfully defended Drogba. Drogba''s combination of man and ball is not particularly outstanding, but Nesta is a master of steals and grasps the timing of intercepting the foot. It can be called a textbook. If Chelsea wants to pass through the ground or personally break through the middle defense of Millwall''s back line, he may encounter great resistance."


    Golden age, healthy Nesta, the best in the world, without any controversy!


    After Southgate disappeared into the first team of Millwall, Nesta was the leader of the defense line, and the former Roman king automatically entered the role and quickly shouldered more responsibilities. On the last link of the defense line, Nesta calmly makes people outrageous, and it is an important guarantee for Millwall to defend the offensive football.


    If Chelsea''s offense is rich and changeable, maybe Audridge will still worry, but if he only depends on the anti-anti, Aldridge does not think Chelsea''s poor offensive firepower will be ashamed.


    Chelsea relied on counter-attacks, then stabilized the situation, avoided opponents'' offense, and strengthened defense.


    Their offensive firepower is therefore not so outstanding.


    Before asking his teammates, De Rossi made an apologetic gesture to his teammates. He did not expect Chelsea to counterattack so fast. There was a little panic before slipping. Now it¡¯s okay, it is a wave of counterattacks by Chelsea. Alerted.


    In the first 20 minutes of the game, the situation on the court looked indistinguishable.


    Although Millwall has the advantage of controlling the ball in the midfield, he did not do too well in the infiltration link, or did not have too many offensive offenses.


    The key lies in the front middle zone of the penalty area. The coverage area of ??Essien, Makelele and Lampard is very effective in sweeping the sidewalk support.


    But Chelsea''s counterattack did not make too many threats.


    Tiago Silva had no man-marking task today, and Drogba gave it to Nesta. He was mainly responsible for the defense of the wing, that is, if Robben broke through the lateral inward line after Ram, back It is not possible to make up for the waist and parallel, because Lampard''s back plug will be empty. This work must be done by Silva. After all, it is a frontal interception, which is more than a parallel movement or a backtrack. confident.


    At the same time, Drossi squeezed Drogba behind, marking Lampard in front of him, and Alonso would also undertake such a task.


    As for Duff on the other side, Schneider alone is enough to cope.


    In the 23rd minute of the game, something changed on the court.


    Robben dribbled inwards after turning the ball on the right. Silva rushed up and fought bravely for the first time. He used a sliding shovel to shovel Robben''s slightly bigger ball and then flew up. Accelerate, unable to stumble and stumble in front of Silva.


    Mourinho protested on the sidelines and complained angrily to the fourth official that it was a foul.


    But the head referee did not say anything, beckoning the game to continue.


    "From the playback of other camera lenses, Silva''s tackle is very clean, Robben himself is too fast, more like he can''t hold his foot on Silva''s foot, and then he falls Well, huh? Robben hasn''t gotten up yet. He is lying on the court and patting the turf. It looks very painful. It looks like he should be injured."


    Mourinho and other protesters found Robben did not get up, and his face was a little ugly.


    When the game was interrupted, the Chelsea medical team entered the field and initially diagnosed Robben''s injury and made a substitution gesture to Mourinho.


    "Oops, only halfway through the first half of the game, Chelsea are going to make a passive substitution, Robben leaves due to injury!"


    Mourinho asked Joe Cole to warm up, and then he went to find the fourth official theory.


    Aldrich also walked over and said to Mourinho: "What are you talking about? My player''s defensive movement is very clean, it is your player''s own physical fitness, don''t be wordy, take a step back, Chelsea A group of defensive players are gentlemen?"


    The fourth officer turned to look at Mourinho, then turned to look at Odri?, Mourinho turned away without arguing with Odri?.


    Aldridge looks at the game time and it''s almost 30 minutes!


    He gestured towards the players on the court.


    Chelsea had already learned their defense of Millwall''s offense, but soon they felt great pressure!


    Ronaldinho and Nedved are close to the front waistline, Ronaldo ran to the left, and Villa was free to move in the center area.


    In the back row, with Alonso, assisting Ram, Schneider as the foundation for controlling the field, Millwall''s offense is extremely left!


    Ronaldinho, Nedved, and Ronaldo took turns to make a breakthrough to Chelsea''s right-back Ferreira!


    They don''t seem to attack on the right and focus on the left!


    In the 31st minute, Ronaldinho was blocked by Lampard and Essien at the same time after cutting in the wing. He immediately passed the ball back to Ram on the same wing. Ram kept the ball straight ahead and Ronaldo went offside. After Ferreira came back, Ferreira used the rhythm difference to kick back the ball, and Ronaldo broke out and went inside to the penalty area!


    Essien and Carvalho rushed to Ronaldo at the same time. Before meeting, Ronaldo passed the ball out in a small area and handed it to Ronaldinho less than 4 meters away. The latter kept the ball a concealed straight plug Passing the ball between Carvalho and Terry, Nedvide formed a single-handed opportunity in the second half of the front, and a shot was blocked by Cech at the corner of the goal!


    "Chelsea escaped! Millwall obviously changed his style of play. They concentrated all their firepower on the offensive center and left!"


    Ashley Cole was at a loss.


    He didn''t know whether it was because he was too strong, so Millwall dared not come to fight him, or because Millwall underestimated him, and he was not afraid of assisting him forward!


    Millwall concentrated on the left. The hidden danger is that if Ashley Cole boldly assists the frontline area, or he will play according to the role of "change forward" he used to be used by Aldridge when he was in Millwall and the England national team. Then, Millwall''s defense on Schneider''s side may be easily exploded.


    However, Mourinho is not Aldridge, he asked the defender not to attack, the defender dedicated defense.


    So now some fans laugh at Ashley Cole: I went to Chelsea for 2 months, and my worth fell by 20 million!


    He now looks like a defensive first-line defender, but that''s all. On the offensive side, he can''t see the stunning and even the shadow of the past.


    This offensive adjustment is a test of Mourinho by Audric to see Mourinho''s desire and ambition for the game.


    If you are extremely eager for victory and the goal is to take three points to the Lion King Stadium, then Mourinho will definitely use this change to let Ashley Cole boldly assist!


    If that is the case, Millwall is not waiting to be blasted by the opponent. The defender is in the restricted area. Alonso and De Rossi protect the backline, as long as Chelsea does not exclude more followers than Lampard. After Millwall delays the opponent''s offensive time, it can also ensure that no absolute defense is exposed.


    Ashley Cole had no opponent on the frontal defense. Two minutes later, Audridge saw him take the initiative to shrink into the penalty area and compress the space in the penalty area.


    Aldridge sneered at the sidelines.


    It seems that Mourinho is just daring to fight back at this stage, not daring to play real fights with him!


    Well, Millwall has established a complete advantage locally.


    On the field, Ronaldinho expressed his dissatisfaction with Ronaldo for the first time, thinking that Ronaldo was a little careful.


    After a Chelsea counterattack with Lampard''s long shot deviated from the goal and ended, Ronaldinho pointed to the direction of Ferreira in front of Ronaldo, and said in a straightforward way: "Fuck him! Blast him! Don''t hide him! Today It is necessary to fight him first!"


    Ronaldo nodded his head, and his expression was ruthless. In the next 5 minutes, Ronaldo broke through Ferreira twice. In the 39th minute of the game, Ronaldinho hit this side, Ronaldo ran out of position, Ferreira missed each other. Unbalanced state of mind, when Ronaldinho got rid of the ball laterally, Ronaldinho was pulled down by hand.


    The referee whistled to signal Ferreira foul and came over and gave Ferreira a yellow card!


    Ronaldinho got up from the ground and waited for the referee to draw the card. Then he suddenly made a cross and the ball with a big arc was passed.


    And it was an unexpected arc on the outside of the foot, he was on the left, the arc on the outside of the right foot, the ball, didn''t the ball fly outward?


    The Chelsea crowds turned their heads towards the ball and suddenly looked shocked.


    Ashley Corne''s collection of the penalty area did strengthen the defense in the penalty area, but on his side for a long time without being threatened, Schneider ran quietly to make Chelsea startled.


    Ronaldinho''s free kick is to kick the ball out of a big arc. The first time Chelsea will think Ronaldinho is shooting, the second reaction is to pass the header to the teammates in the penalty area, and finally realized that this The ball was passed to Schneider from the other side!


    The overall vision of the Brazilian magician and the concealment of the pass are most vividly displayed!

 Chapter 1052： Missed it, its gone

    As a super first-class team, Millwall playing a first-class team can basically oppress to achieve a crushing victory, but it does not mean that all games will be won. If they do not win, it is not because the opponents restrained them. It will only be because they are not performing well and are in a bad state. This is their own problem and has nothing to do with their opponents.


    Among the first-class opponents, the proper use of tactics will create obvious difficulties for Millwall, then the content of the competition will rise to psychological and spiritual temperament, and the individual play of the game will also occupy a higher proportion.


    At the technical and tactical level, it is impossible to produce an absolute advantage of global oppression, then it is necessary to "play with points and face" to locally create an absolute advantage to create a chain reaction of the opponent''s attack and defense system. Often at this time, it is a team''s technical and tactical on-site response. , And the coach''s ability to adjust the command on the spot.


    After 30 minutes in the first half, Millwall forced his left with a force transfer, crushed Ferreira, crushed him with a local short pass and infiltration, and made him lose confidence with three personal breakthroughs, thus creating Ferreira. He was out of touch with the team, and under a sudden increase in pressure, his mentality was unbalanced!


    Then readjust the offense from this locally established advantage.


    Chelsea''s chain reaction was that Ferreira was blasted completely, and the abused dizzy turned. He could only pull Ronaldinho with his hand to create a foul, so as to force Milwall''s attack to be temporarily suspended. His teammates had to be unconscious Tilt to this side to strengthen the local defensive strength on this side.


    Some strong attacks like Millwall also need to pay the price, Ashley Cole on the right is given to Chelsea, but unfortunately Chelsea failed to use it.


    Their four-backs plus double-backs defensive overall basic formation has stabilized for two months. When facing the super first-class opponent Millwall, I am afraid that Mourinho will not dare to change easily. If he changes his opponent, he may still try. a bit.


    Chelsea did not use the opportunity to strengthen the offense, so that the monotonous offense had some rich changes, but just blindly pursued a stable defense, but did not expect to attack the Ferreira side, not Millwall''s main point of attack, or Millwall There are still hands!


    What they really want to fight is actually Ashley Cole''s side!


    When Millwall was forced to fight on the side of Ferreira, in fact, the chance of this side was actually smaller, because Chelsea would take the initiative to strengthen the defense on this side, but Ashley Cole¡¯s side had not Being shocked, and keeping the distance from the centre back, exposed a lot of space on his side.


    Ronaldinho''s quick free kick hit the ball on this side.


    Schneider set the pressure and stopped the ball steadily. When Ashley Cole rushed out to defend at this time, Schneider calmed down and had a thrill of being in the middle.


    Ashley Cole rushed out quickly, but Terry, who kept a reasonable distance from him, could not keep up. So when Ashley Cole rushed out to defend, the gap between him and Terry Just exposed.


    Schneider diagonally passed behind Ashley Cole. Ashley Cole turned his head and saw Nedvide slam into the penalty zone. It was the ribs of the full-back and center-back that Nedvide already had. A chance to shoot a kick!


    Terry moved hurriedly to make up for the defense. Nedved stopped the ball and calmly passed the ball gently. The ball just rolled over one meter in front of Terry, and he had no time to block it!


    Villa slanted forward, Cech abandoned the door, Carvalho quickly pursued Villa, and at the intersection of the three and the ball, Villa bravely fell to the ground and shoveled!


    His tiptoe hit the ball first, only to see the ball roll past Cech''s armpit and straight into the goal!


    "Villa! Villa took the lead for Millwall! He became a Derby hero! Millwall played an unexpected fast break, Ronaldinho''s unexpected wide-range transfer, Schneider was in Assisted by the wing, Nedvide stopped the ball in the penalty area and calmly made the ball for Villa. The Spanish striker swiftly shoveled the ball into the Chelsea gate! 1:0, Millwall took the lead!"


    Villa climbed up from the ground and screamed into the corner flag area. The whole Lion King Stadium was like a flash flood, like a blue ocean stand. The water was rolling, the fans jumped up and down, cheering for Villa¡¯s goal, for This prince shouted in the hearts of crazy lion fans many years ago!


    Mourinho didn''t look good.


    This goal may allow the fans not to think too much, but on the level of the coach''s wit and bravery, Aldridge seems to have slapped a slap on his face!


    Opportunity, for you!


    Clearly out of the right, let your full-backs press the assists casually.


    However, you don''t use it.


    Instead, strengthen defense as always.


    The results of it?


    The defense is still unstoppable!


    And it can be said that it fell into the trap set by Aldrich!


    Wen Wu first, Wu Wu second.


    The winner on the football field is the boss!


    On the first half so far, in the contest of coaching ability, Audridge won the first game.


    Aldridge didn''t celebrate with ostentation.


    After all, this is a contest between a super first-class team and a first-class team close to the peak.


    Laugh, you have to wait until the last big picture has timed to laugh!


    Chelsea failed to make an unexpected offensive. After losing the ball, they instead paid more attention to defense. Fearing to lose the second one, they were faintly weaker!


    Millwall still beat Ferreira''s side according to the previous routine.


    Ferreira felt that today''s game was a nightmare.


    It seems as if he has become vulnerable.


    Ronaldinho, Cristiano Ronaldo, Nedved, and three people in turn, he simply wants to escape the game, lest he be ugly.


    In the first half of the game, Ronaldinho''s imaginative sudden drop shot at the far corner of the goal failed and temporarily ended.


    The fans in the stands were enthusiastic and carnival, more mocking and humiliating Chelsea.


    At halftime, Mourinho should make adjustments.


    When the game came to the second half, Chelsea obviously strengthened its counterattack and the full-backs assisted.


    However, Millwall''s De Rossi and Alonso are no longer under Amon. After the baptism of last season, the defensive mentality is calm, the technical actions, and the teammate''s joint defense have been sublimated to a new height.


    Chelsea said that it is nothing more than two key routines that need to be warned by Millwall, and one is the modern winger.


    Duff didn''t take advantage of Schneider''s right, and Joe Cole was not very comfortable on the right, but instead showed little strength in the game against Ram.


    The most threatening Robben was not on the field. Ribery went to Chelsea to make a lot of money. Unfortunately, the team is crowded. He ranked fourth among the wingers. Moreover, he has not yet reached a first-class upper strength.


    Another way is to attack in the middle. Drogba in front and Lampard in the back. For Drogba, today Nesta makes Drogba completely unable to find a sense of existence, whether fighting for high-altitude **** or under his feet. After winning the ball and trying to move forward, Nesta used a textbook-style defense to freeze the African Warcraft perfectly.


    Because Drogba could not form a containment and cover on the front line, Lampard''s post-insertion threat naturally reduced a lot.


    Millwall continued to play in this wonderful state since the new season, not only taking advantage of the scene, but also making it almost perfect within various local restrictions.


    Because Chelsea want to equalize the score, so in order to compete for control of the midfield, the back line cannot be too late, the intensive defense begins to become unrestrained, and strengthen the midfield frenzy.


    Aldridge replaced Nedved in the 65th minute of the game to make Kaka debut.


    The space given to Kaka is much better than when he started the first half.


    Mourinho was on the sidelines and faced the water.


    He didn''t expect Chelsea to play a pleasing attack, but hoped that in the midfield confrontation, Chelsea won by muscles! Then seek opportunities after gaining midfield advantage.


    He is looking forward.


    However, the situation on the court could not make him optimistic.


    As Chelsea began to oppress outwards, Millwall''s midfield line retreated slightly, and then used the midfield and backcourt as the battlefield to start stable ball control. The ball passed quickly back and forth, making Chelsea''s players grabbing impatiently. stand up.


    Mourinho repeatedly shouted at Joe Cole and Duff on the sidelines to let them put on defense, defense, defense!


    The Chelsea crowds will be uneasy after getting up today. The off-court disturbance caused by Mutu''s drug disperse their attention before coming to the Lion King Stadium. At this time, the score is behind, which makes them impossible for everyone to be on the same rhythm. .


    In the 71st minute of the game, Ram received Alonso''s pass in the backcourt. He took two steps forward and suddenly sent a straight pass forward.


    On the pass line, it seems that the ball was passed to Ronaldinho, and the ball is fast.


    Chelsea''s entire midfield and backcourt defensive player''s attention turned to Ronaldinho.


    Essien rushed to defend Ronaldinho for the first time. Ronaldinho turned away from the Chelsea penalty area when the ball rolled over quickly, suddenly turned around and ran without touching the ball!


    Leaking ball!


    Chelsea''s back line was frightened, and Ronaldo, who came to the left to run around the outer line, now rushed out of Ferreira and ran straight to the ball that rolled to the baseline.


    The fast-moving Cristiano Ronaldo swept the ball in the middle of the penalty area without stopping the ball. Villa missed the front point, but he shook the Chelsea defender and goalkeeper Cech very well, and the ball that leaked from the previous point rolled to the goal. After the point, it is like a Kaka killed by a blue whirlwind directly push the ball into half of the empty gates!


    Kaka''s goal pushed the atmosphere to a new climax. He and Villa ran on the shoulders and rushed to the corner flag area. Kaka hugged Ronaldo in a big jump and Millwall teamed up to celebrate .


    Mourinho closed his eyes in pain, then reached over and wiped his face.


    Aldridge closed his eyes after a smile on his lips, enjoying the victory he was about to get.


    At Lion King Stadium, if Millwall leads by two goals, no opponent can make a comeback!


    Absolutely not!


    "Millwall goes to the next city! Kaka, who came off the bench, responded to C Ronaldo''s cross pass and hit the empty goal at the back point. The beauty of this goal is that when Ram sent forward threatening passes, Chelsea all Everyone thought that the ball would be passed to Ronaldinho, but the Brazilian magician missed the ball, and his excellent overall view made him attack the team even without touching the ball. A huge contribution was made. When C Ronaldo rushed to the bottom line to prepare for a cross, we can obviously see that Chelsea''s defender line was panicked. They were running back and changed their plan to focus on blocking Ronaldinho. , Huh, Millwall¡¯s offense is amazing."


    The players on the Chelsea court are a little bit at the moment.


    Many players feel powerless.


    Especially those players who used to play crazy lions.


    It is impossible to experience the sense of hopelessness in the game without actually fighting the mad lion once on the court!


    You will also understand how precious it is to stay in the "Golden Team" lineup in the shock history.


    The game restarted, Chelsea kicked off, Mourinho returned to the coach seat, numb look.


    He missed the only gambling opportunity.


    That is when Millwall moved Ronaldo to the left and vacated the opportunity given to him on the right. The time was not long. After about 10 minutes, after Millwall scored, the opportunity disappeared.


    Now, two goals behind, how to gamble?


    What bet?


    He knew that withdrawing the defense and strengthening the offense would only put the team into a bigger dilemma.


    The momentum is completely different.

 Chapter 1053： Distracting attention and the overall situation

    At the Lion King Stadium stand, the mad lion fans were like a rainbow, and at a glance, almost the entire South Stand was binging.


    Chelsea did not have the determination to swear to equalize the score when the two goals fell behind. Perhaps this was destined to be a bad day. First, Mutu¡¯s drug-hit sunny thunder came, and then hordes of journalists harassed and besieged. How can you focus all your attention on the game?


    Moreover, the two goals fell behind at this time, and the situation was extremely bad.


    In the face of the powerful mad lion that trembles all over Europe, many players have quietly given up in their hearts.


    However, Millwall has not given up, they are not satisfied with the score of 2:0, the offensive is surging, the waves are higher than the waves.


    In the 77th minute, Ronaldinho broke through Ferreira again on the left and encountered a fierce opponent behind him to shovel!


    The referee immediately halted the game.


    Without waiting for Mourinho to rush out to plead for Ferreira, Adrich first pointed angrily at the direction of Ferreira''s foul. The whole stadium was like a riot, and the celebration of the crazy lion fans came to an abrupt end, filled with indignation. Boos and noises were made towards the court. Fans who were close to the stands were screaming. Some excited fans wanted to cross the stands and rush into the stadium to find Ferreira!


    "Oh oh, the situation on the pitch is almost out of control. Ferreira''s foul on Ronaldinho caused a lot of anger! This is the Lion King Stadium. Ronaldinho is the darling of fans, Sir Hall. Chelsea will not be allowed to play wild here, nor will they be allowed to harm his players with actions beyond technical moves, and tens of thousands of Millwall fans in the stands will not be allowed!"


    When Ronaldinho fell to the ground, Alonso rushed over and pushed Ferreira, angrily accused the other of the malicious shoveling action. On the Chelsea side, Terry and Carvalho were the closest to the incident, and they also After rushing over, Carvalho seemed to be picking things up and pushed Alonso to the ground!


    De Rossi is gone!


    He also rushed over and grabbed Carvalho''s neck with his hand. The situation on the court was out of control. The players on both sides gathered together. Carvalho hit his head with De Rossi''s face, and the two almost twisted together.


    Fans have already rushed into the court on the sidelines.


    A large number of security guards blocked the nearest stand at the location of the incident, fearing that Millwall''s fans would explode wildly.


    When the situation came to the brink of total loss of control, it seemed difficult for the referee to separate the two players, and to prevent the fans on the scene from making trouble.


    Aldridge walked to the center of the incident. His left hand was raised to signal the fans in the nearby stands to calm down, and his right finger pointed to Terry.


    Under Aldridge''s dignified gaze, Terry stopped the theory with Nesta, he immediately opened his arms and dragged the Chelsea players back!


    Compared to Mourinho, at this moment, Terry''s awe of Audric is even deeper.


    Ashley Cole, despite carrying the traitor''s infamous departure, did not participate in the conflict.


    He left only for money, for no other reason, and he didn¡¯t want to make his reputation worse. After all, when Chelsea had nothing, all his honors were either obtained at Millwall or Audrey Obtained by the odd national team.


    Lampard helped Terry stabilize the situation, Aldridge whispered a few words with the referee and walked back to his coach seat indifferently.


    When passing by Mourinho, he didn''t glance at each other.


    All fans at Lion King Stadium are staring at the head referee to see how he makes the penalty.


    The conflict between the two teams broke out, and someone must be punished.


    Ronaldinho has already accepted the treatment on the sidelines. Fortunately, he has been invaded by people as a first-class target for many years. There are many opponents who use killing tactics. They have a strong sense of self-protection. foot?


    He was harmless and stood up on the sidelines when the referee started to draw.


    The referee first walked in front of Ferreira and directly pulled out a red card!


    Although he had a yellow card before, it was not that two yellows turned into one red, but that he was shown a red card directly!


    Ferreira stood on the side of the court with a helpless face and seemed unwilling to leave the court. He also wanted to see how the referee would impose a penalty.


    The referee went to Alonso again and gave Alonso a yellow card!


    Alonso had a move to push Ferreira after Ronaldinho fell to the ground. This was the reason why he took the card, but the push was not particularly serious.


    Immediately afterwards, the referee showed a red card to De Rossi!


    De Rossi pinched Carvalho''s neck and almost wrestled with the opponent. The red card was not too much, for granted.


    The Lion King Stadium booed.


    Home team fans are dissatisfied with the referee''s penalty.


    The penalty was not over yet, the referee finally came to Carvalho, also a red card!


    Carvalho''s move to overthrow Alonso looked fierce and was the direct cause of the massive conflict.


    Two players from Chelsea were sent off and Millwall was sent off.


    And according to Ferreira''s foul action, Millwall will definitely put pressure on the FA after the game and add another opponent''s suspension.


    Mourinho made an applause on the sidelines at this time, with a contemptuous look on his face.


    Probably, he thinks the referee''s home whistle is too obvious.


    Use applause to satire the referee''s penalty.


    So, the iron-faced selfless referee came to Mourinho again, pointing the player to the channel and expelling him!


    As Mourinho left, the fans of the Lions in the nearby stands kept applauding him and making mocking laughs.


    Chelsea suddenly lost two players on the court, and Millwall lost one.


    When the game restarted, Ronaldinho took the free kick directly. His free throw hole penetrated the gate guarded by Cech and used the free kick opportunity to go to the next city!


    The atmosphere in the Lion King Stadium has returned to normal.


    "Ronaldinho chose to hit the ball directly at the goal when the angle was not large. Cech¡¯s judgment was wrong. Although he encountered the ball, he couldn¡¯t stop the ball from flying into the corner of the goal. The ball broke! At 3:0, Millwall led the score with one more player and locked the victory!"


    Mourinho was not present and his assistant performed a substitution.


    Drogba got off and Duff got off.


    Galas comes on and Tiago comes on.


    Chelsea filled the gap in the back line, Essien went to play the right back, Gallas hit the back, Tiago succeeded Essien to play in the lower back.


    Millwall also made substitutions.


    Surprisingly, instead of putting on the lower back, Aldridge removed Thiago Silva and replaced Larson!


    Not only did he not fill the gap in the lower back, he also directly removed the defender.


    Why?


    Because Chelsea withdrew two offensive players!


    Why should Millwall fill the gap in defense?


    At this time, he piled up offensive players more aggressively!


    The offensive routines can''t be simpler, winging the ball and bombing the opponent''s penalty area!


    Ronaldo, Larson, and Villa form an offensive point in the penalty area. Ronaldinho and Kaka, Alonso, and then the echelon, Nesta sits on the last defensive line, Ram and Shi Ned enjoys assisting the attack on the wing.


    In the last 10 minutes of the game plus 5 minutes of stoppage time, the game was completely one-sided Millwall besieging Chelsea at halftime!


    In the third minute of injury stoppage time, continuous high-altitude bombing and continuous attack on the outer two points made Chelsea fall again. Larsson responded to Ronaldinho''s pass and header was blocked by Cech. Ronaldo made a supplementary shot in the penalty area. Put the ball into the goal.


    "4:0, Millwall defeated Chelsea, following Manchester United out of the Champions League a month ago. Maybe after this match, Millwall also kicked Chelsea out of the League Champions Group. After all, Chelsea in the standings Will be behind to give Millwall 10 points, a shocking gap!"


    At the end of the game, Millwall celebrated the victory. Aldridge also went into the field to celebrate with the players and thank the fans on the spot. Chelsea players fled from the devil-encrusted stadium!


    After the game, Mourinho was deported, but he still accepted the post-match interview.


    The team lost the game, 10 points behind Millwall in the standings, but Mourinho was very calm.


    He cannot immerse the team in the shadow of defeat, he needs to divert the attention of the outside world.


    Therefore, he said to the camera in a big voice: "People are saying that the Lion King Stadium is a devil stadium, Millwall has a terrible combat power here, now, I know why, they have 12 people on the field, come here The team can only fight with 11, 10, 9, or even the head coach to fight Millwall, Millwall will of course win the game, if you can¡¯t win, then it is a joke, just like the outside world has always been As said, there are two top games in England, one is the Millwall game, and the other is the Premier League. Chelsea and 18 other teams are playing in the Premier League to compete fairly for the championship. Sadly, Millwall will Participating in the Premier League championship competition, this kind of thing appears in the Premier League. It is the sorrow of the Premier League. The Premier League has been poisoned by Millwall. Some people have kidnapped the Premier League. As for who we are, we all know."


    Mourinho¡¯s remarks after the game incurred a fine from the FA and suspended three games, but he didn¡¯t care. At least his remarks would become the headlines of public opinion, reducing some of the negative impact of Chelsea¡¯s defeat and instilling players with a kind of their It was not a loss to Millwall, at least it was not a fair loss.


    Aldridge did not respond positively in the subsequent interview, but said lightly: "Some people just came to the Premier League and accused their opponents of stopping a bus in the restricted area. They also made some naive comments and got Millwall, who has won five UEFA Champions League trophies, is there anything to argue? Of course not, we don¡¯t have time to listen to the quibble of the loser¡¯s blame. There are opponents on the court that deserve our respect even if the game is lost. No one can win or lose them."


    If the storm caused by the Mutu drug abuse incident before the game would have a negative impact on Chelsea''s internal force against Millwall, then this incident would have a negative impact on the loss of profits after the game, because in the storm of public opinion, Milwax The news of Chelsea''s victory over Chelsea has been robbed of a certain degree of attention and appeal. After all, it is still the beginning of the season, and it is not yet the time when the battle is settled in the traditional time period.


    The FIFA competition day in October followed.


    Millwall was affected by a certain FIFA virus after the FIFA match day, because after the warm-up phase of the World Preliminaries, it is very important for many players in the team, especially some veterans, their energy spent in the national team The proportion is relatively high.


    After the FIFA game day, Millwall had only three games in October.


    Blackburn was tied in the league as a guest, and Chelsea scored a small goal win over West Brom, which reduced the gap between the two teams to 8 points.


    In the third game of the UEFA Champions League group match, Millwall sent away A Coru?a at home 2:0, only one victory to lock the group qualifying.


    At the Riverside Stadium in the League Cup, Millwall''s young lineup beat Middlesbrough to advance to the next round.


    On the schedule for the first half of the new season, Aldridge is most concerned about visiting Old Trafford in September and Chelsea at home in October.


    The former is very important for the accumulation of confidence, and the accumulation of advantages in the external standings is also extremely critical, which will have an impact on the same city derby in October.


    Fortunately, Millwall won Manchester United.


    Playing Chelsea in October was a very crucial game for the entire season. Through the accumulation of early confidence and status, they defeated Chelsea at home with an extremely strong attitude, although the gap between the standings was then shortened to 8 points. But for the overall situation throughout the season, Aldridge believes that there is no harm to the overall situation.


    The next toughest test will be the devil schedule in December!

 Chapter 1054： King of the Toyota Cup

    In November, Millwall''s state has not fallen significantly, but from their performance on the court, it is not as crazy as it was at the beginning of the season.


    Especially in mid-November, when Aldridge led his team as Anfield to play in the League Cup, they suffered the first defeat of the new season and the League Cup was out!


    Aldridge sent a bunch of young players to play, Moutinho, Veroso, Messi, Baines, Ramos and others, and also let the third goalkeeper Kirkland play to see his performance.


    Before the game, Aldridge said cheeky to the media that this game was used to train young players.


    In fact, he sent a signal to Benitez and wanted to get some tacit understanding with this old friend. Everyone should be trained, don''t over-consume!


    But Benitez said in front of the media that Aldridge must be releasing smoke bombs!


    Liverpool will have 200% of their combat power to face Millwall, otherwise they may be eliminated at home!


    Irving didn''t transfer to Real Madrid, he still stayed at Anfield. At the same time, the Liverpool transformation this season is still relatively obvious.


    Gerrard pushed into the shadow forward position, Carragher returned to the position of central defender, and at the same time, Benitez moved to the market to bring Carrick. Benitez served as a teaching assistant at Millwall and was still waiting. Carrick in the Millwall youth team had an encounter, and this time they worked together to create a future at Anfield.


    Therefore, Liverpool''s early performance in the league this season was quite satisfactory. After a period of time, it began to stabilize its strong momentum. Although the title is hopeless, but it is still possible to compete in the Champions League.


    When Liverpool''s all-starter debuted at Anfield, Aldridge couldn''t hold his face.


    Damn it!


    Benitez must know that Aldridge is not a smoke bomb.


    But Aldridge was relieved afterwards. Benitez could not let the Reds get eliminated at Anfield anyway?


    That would hurt morale.


    Moreover, whether or not Milwall is a group of baby soldiers, doing crazy lions, spiritual encouragement and inspiration is also what Liverpool needs.


    Millwall led by 60 minutes in this game. With Glennshire''s goal, he led to the 68th minute of the second half, and then was scored by Gerrard.


    Aldridge didn''t want to counsel on the road, he just dared to fight with his opponent.


    Unfortunately, luck will not stand on his side every time. The result of this fight is a tragic outing, which was reversed by Liverpool 3-1 and blocked outside the quarterfinals of the League Cup.


    This season, the training stage of the League Cup is gone. It doesn¡¯t matter. Millwall also made room for training on other fronts: the Champions League!


    At the beginning of November, they returned to Super Laco, with Alonso and Ronaldinho''s goals on the road to defeat their opponents 2-1. After winning four consecutive victories in the UEFA Champions League group stage, they locked the top 16 places in advance, leaving two UEFA Champions League , Can be appropriate training, and the stimulation and training value of players are higher than the League Cup!


    After the end of the UEFA Champions League group stage, in January next year, the FA Cup will be played again. Millwall stabilized the main front record. During the same period of rotation, the general policy of training has been smooth and coherent. This is Audric¡¯s satisfaction. local.


    Millwall scored 3 wins and 1 draw in four Premier League games in November.


    2-0 home victory over Birmingham.


    5:0 home victory over Crystal Palace.


    Away 2:2 was tied by Liverpool.


    At home 3:1 Lectra Arsenal.


    The record is of course good, but the loss of goals in Liverpool and Arsenal has made Millwall¡¯s goalkeeper the focus of the outside world. Butt saved the game when Liverpool was close to the end of the game and was scored by Owen. , And the goal scored by Arsenal at home also originated from his save. This season, because Kaka hit the midfield, he cannot provide the defensive pressure of the midfield and frontcourt as crazy as in the past, so Millwall The chance of being counterattacked by an opponent is relatively improved, which means that the possibility of the goal being threatened is also increased, so the fault of Bout''s save is easily amplified.


    Aldrich also wanted to improve this problem in the past, but how to improve it?


    Chelsea wanted to dig out Neuer in the summer, but it was unsuccessful, because Schalke 04 did not let go, thinking that Neuer had great potential. At the same time, Neuer was not interested in transferring to Chelsea, and it was impossible to climb to the sky and go to Stamford Bridge. What are you doing?


    Aldrich didn''t even think about buying Neuer in the past. As far as the maturity of technical capabilities is concerned, Neuer has the future, not the present.


    It is impossible for him to replace Bout now, otherwise, the third goalkeeper of the German national team will not be Bout.


    With only one or two games of mistakes, he used a knife against a meritorious veteran who played for the team for more than ten years. This is not Aldridge''s style of action, but he still has a precautionary mind.


    In the unlikely event that he had to start, he should have a suitable candidate.


    Throughout this time, Europe is able to take the position of the main goalkeeper of the giants, and withstand the test of top-level events, play a stable goalkeeper, one of the few.


    Because the goalkeeper''s position is too special, the giants dare not use this position to train troops, the risk is too high and too high.


    Even some young genius goalkeepers must have come to the fore with outstanding performance, rather than staying in this position early and falling down a few times to slowly climb up and thrive.


    Casillas of Real Madrid.


    Chelsea of ??Chelsea.


    Buffon of Juventus.


    Some old, Dida, Kahn, young Reina, Valdes, and Arsenal''s Lehman are still outstanding at this stage.


    In the end, Aldridge wrote two names on the shortlist: Buffon, Van der Sar.


    If he will make up his mind to take Bout next summer, he will grab Manchester United for Van der Sar.


    But if not, in the future he will smash Buffon back.


    Although Millwall is in a "cold war" with Juventus at the club level, at this moment, especially when thinking of the summer of 2006, Audridge does not think that Millwall cannot dig up Juventus!


    In the UEFA Champions League group stage at the end of November and the beginning of December, Millwall scored two consecutive draws, tying Monaco away. Yes, Millwall scored the opponent in the 77th minute of the second half when Larsen scored. In the group match finale, it was Bielopiacos tied, Messi scored his first goal in the Champions League in this game.


    After the UEFA Champions League group stage ended, the Millwall Club took the initiative to renew the contract with Messi and increase his salary.


    The signing fee is a high-end house in London, which makes the Messi family ecstatic, they moved into a new house with better environment.


    At the beginning of December, Millwall played two league games in four days and won one win and one draw.


    In two consecutive away games, he scored 3 points on Aston Villa, but was again tied by Everton in Liverpool City, at Goodison Park Stadium. In the first half of the league, Fleet Street teased Liverpool as Millwall The city I don¡¯t like the most, but there are also old stories about the unscrupulous tabloids, saying that Aldridge was overly fond of Liverpool and showed mercy.


    Coincidentally, in the past six league games, Chelsea and Millwall have the same record, and the gap between the two teams is still 8 points.


    Especially in early December, Chelsea failed to take all three points at Highbury. Before the game, Millwall had left London and the team flew to Japan. As long as Chelsea scored 3 points, it can shorten the match with Millwall The gap has changed from 8 to 6 points, but Chelsea still failed to beat Arsenal at Highbury after all.


    Before the arrival of the Christmas Express, the Millwall team flew to Japan. This is when they came here again after two years to participate in the Toyota Cup, which caused a fever of football in Japan.


    This year''s Toyota Cup has historical significance.


    Because this is the last Toyota Cup, starting next year, the Intercontinental Club Championship will participate in the FIFA World Club Cup.


    At the Yokohama International Sports Arena, Millwall¡¯s mentality was very relaxed. The fans in the stands were very enthusiastic, not only chasing Ronaldinho, like the young players in the Millwall formation, Kaka, Ronaldo, Villa, Aron. Suo and other players have faintly become idols in the hearts of a new generation of fans.


    This year''s Toyota Cup, Millwall did not face much challenge, the opponent is the Caldas Club in Colombia.


    Millwall''s overall strength suppresses his opponents, and his technical and tactical concepts are also complete. They consume their opponents through their skillful ball control advantages. When the opponents rush to attack, they launch a fatal blow.


    Ronaldinho plays tricks on the court, and Ronaldo will also play with flowers. When Kaka rushes, he is unstoppable. Villa is like a blue-collar warrior, making selfless contributions or looking for opportunities on the field.


    At the end of the game, Millwall rushed into the field, and two years later, they won the Toyota Cup again!


    "4:0, the Champions League champion Millwall destroyed the South American Liberation Cup champion Caldas with a dominant level. The performance of the Millwall star group is unforgettable, although they certainly did not go all out because they were very Coming back to the Premier League soon for the cruel Christmas Express schedule! Congratulations Millwall, they won the last Toyota Cup! It is also the team with the most Toyota Cup wins in history, winning 5 times! 1998, 2000 In 2001, 2002, and now 2004, as the Toyota Cup became history, Millwall, the king of the Toyota Cup, made it more perfect for this event. From next year, we will appreciate the FIFA World Champions Club League, I hope that the new international club competition will be more exciting than the Toyota Cup!"


    During the Toyota Cup awards, Aldridge accidentally learned that the organizer had set up a special award for him. Probably it was the organizer on the Japanese side. In order to make the event more brilliant, the Toyota Cup was going to the grave anyway, except for the competition In addition to the best player award, Adrich also specially awarded a Toyota Cup best coach achievement award!

 Chapter 1055： Before the big battle month

    After the Toyota Cup ended, the Millwall soldiers split in two ways, and Audridge led the team back to London to prepare for the league a few days later.


    The other way is led by the club''s CEO Carter. He accompanied Ronaldinho, Nedved, Henry, Larson and Nesta to the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.


    Five players in the Millwall team entered the final selection list, of which Ronaldinho Ronald asked for the golden ball.


    He has been a runner-up for the Golden Globe Awards for two consecutive years, and has been nominated before that, the popularity base can be described as very strong.


    Although the call for Henry in the rehabilitation is not low, but the poor performance in the European Cup, the French team will be lowered in the group stage out, and since the new season he has been injured, there is no court appearance rate, and the momentum is obviously unable to match Compared with Ronaldinho, who has an impressive performance throughout the year.


    In addition to the excellent performance of the club, Nedved also has the Czech team to impress the outside world in the European Cup, and Larson is also the same.


    Nesta was definitely not awarded. The club gave him a holiday, gave him a short break, went shopping with his teammates, and accumulated energy for the Christmas Express campaign at the end of the month.


    At the awards scene, Ronaldinho was as relaxed as in the past, with no burden in his look. Perhaps it was a moment of extreme disappointment in the past, and his mentality became better and better with the passage of time.


    When the final result was revealed, the applause at the scene was deafening.


    Ronaldinho won the Golden Globe Award with obvious advantages!


    Moreover, Millwall took the top three!


    Ronaldinho, Nedved, Henry.


    Ronaldinho''s performance in the highlights of the year is a gift from the European dark horses!


    On the club''s court, Millwall played Porto in the Champions League final, and Porto was the dark horse.


    The England team that won the European Cup is characterized by the overall type of the team. On the basis of personal performance, it is good, but it has not yet reached the level of shocking eyeballs, especially the offensive players who won the European Cup, most of them are clubs. Dragged down by the record, failed to produce a brilliant transcript at the club.


    A week later, they went to Switzerland, Ronaldinho continued to become the winner of the Shinco Golden Globe Awards, and once again boarded the throne of World Footballer!


    In 2004, Ronaldinho reached the peak of his personal honor.


    At this point, Millwall coach Aldridge has a new title: Golden Ball coach.


    ...


    In the 18th round of the Premier League, Millwall played lightly. Not only did the team return from Japan to prepare for a rush, but also with a number of main players missing, Aldridge sent most of the bench players at home. In this game, they were played by Newcastle United at home. The team tied, and Chelsea shortened the gap between the two teams to 6 points with the home game Norwich.


    Aldridge celebrates the birthday of her little princess Bonnie at home this month, and her lovely daughter is two years old!


    I wanted to let Ronaldinho and others rest during the Christmas War, but Ronaldinho, who had just got the double footballer, rushed back to the club, and the heart of the battle surprised Audridge.


    It seems that he is not too worried about Chelsea chasing another 2 points in the standings, and Ronaldinho is more nervous than him.


    The Christmas Express is approaching, and according to tradition, Aldridge still adjusts the team to give some players a holiday.


    Let Cristiano Ronaldo and Carcassett take a break. The two of them will pick the girders at the beginning of the new season.


    Alonso and De Rossi were taken on leave last year and took the initiative to fight this year!


    The Christmas Express will play 3 games in 7 days.


    The test for Millwall is only physical fitness, nothing else, because Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, they have played once in the first half, the Christmas Express is just a intensive impact of the schedule, at this point, the strong Mil Walls has no worries.


    In the Christmas Express campaign, Millwall ended all games of the year with a three-game winning streak!


    Two players, Ronaldinho''s shine, topped the standings, Millwall won five championships in 2004, almost perfect.


    After a period of highlights, Fleet Street commented on the performance of the Premier League teams in the first half of the new season.


    In terms of the league alone, Millwall is undoubtedly the best and has yet to lose.


    But referring to the results of other fronts, Mourinho''s Chelsea stepped into the ranks of top teams!


    Premier League, Champions League, League Cup, in the case of the FA Cup Premier League team has not yet participated in the game, Millwall has broken the League Cup in the first half of the front line, but Chelsea have advanced to the semi-finals, and the Champions League performance Counting is excellent, so in terms of overall performance, Millwall and Chelsea are the two most outstanding teams in the new season in England. Especially Chelsea have also won three consecutive victories in the Christmas Express campaign. The situation of falling behind before the month occurred.


    After defeating the Lion King Stadium, Chelsea''s league performance is better than Millwall, they shortened the gap of 4 points, even if there are 6 points, this is actually not a short gap.


    At the beginning of the new year, Chelsea and Millwall''s dragon battle has also become fierce, and everyone in the league is competing for no mistake!


    Ronaldo and Kaka returned to the team after a short vacation. After a short break and adjustment, they started the second half of the league!


    With the accumulation of experience in the first half of the season and the accumulation of actual combat psychology, this gave them a small leap in performance on the court.


    In three Premier League games in January, Millwall and Chelsea all scored 9 points!


    Counting the Christmas Express campaign, when other teams basically lose points, the giants of East London and the power of West London gradually began to make other Premier League opponents feel desperate!


    As described in The Times.


    "We are very pleased to see that the Premier League competition is fierce and cruel! Chelsea made a qualitative leap after investing heavily. In addition to exposing some problems in direct dialogue with the defending champion, they have shown other teams to feel chilled at other times. For example, Manchester United and Arsenal. In the past, Millwall only covered the sky. Now, they still need to look to Chelsea. This is a reality that makes Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool aspiring to rejuvenation feel frustrated, but objectively speaking Chelsea has improved the competitive landscape of the Premier League. If there is no Chelsea, it may be that the Premier League champions have lost their suspense! It is foreseeable that if there is no major event that affects the two teams, then Millwall has a 99% chance of defending the title. However, the FA Cup has already started, and the Champions League knockout will also follow in late February. In addition, in the event of a core player injury, this is also an important factor that will affect the team¡¯s record!"


    In January, the FA Cup started, and Millwall defeated Burnley in the third round with the bench lineup, and then defeated Bournemouth in the fourth round, successfully advancing to the FA Cup 16.


    In the same month, Chelsea eliminated Manchester United in two rounds of the League Cup semi-finals and reached the League Cup finals. The FA Cup reached the top 16.


    Although this month''s record was good, Aldridge was not happy. Nesta suffered a minor injury. To rest for a month, Alonso also suspended due to a red card in the league.


    Coming in February, the Millwall League was tied for two consecutive games. After Chelsea''s first victory, the Millwall score gap was shortened to 4 points.


    In the second game, Millwall played first. When the news of Millwall''s draw came, Stamford Bridge cheered, and Mourinho thought Chelsea was making a big reversal!


    However, this season, the first team to become their nemesis appeared.


    Manchester City!


    In the first half of the league, the first defeat was to lose to Manchester City. Mourinho didn''t expect at home, Manchester City actually tied Chelsea.


    Chelsea missed the opportunity to shorten the score to 2 points, still behind Millwall by 4 points!


    Aldridge finally got better, because Henry came back.


    In the two-match game, the problem exposed was that Villa¡¯s experience was not enough. After the excellent performance in the first half, the opponents in the second half played against Millwall, and naturally they will focus on killing Villa. !


    It may also be that during the Christmas campaign, Villa did not have a rest before and after. After all, Millwall is still relatively weak on the center bench, so his state has also declined.


    It was at this time that Henry came back and declared a strong return by scoring two goals in the fifth round of the FA Cup!


    Millwall reached the quarterfinals in the FA Cup!


    With Chelsea''s fronts advancing by leaps and bounds, Mourinho became active again after the New Year, frequently putting pressure on Audric in front of the media.


    Aldridge ignored him and slapped Mourinho in reality.


    In the fifth round of the FA Cup, Chelsea defeated St James Park Stadium and missed the top 8!


    After the game, although Mourinho said that Chelsea would focus on the league and the Champions League, the subtext is that the FA Cup exit can avoid energy dissipation and physical exhaustion, but everyone knows that he is smiling and is optimistic.


    At the end of February, the Champions League playoffs started.


    Henry is back to the starting lineup!


    Sixty thousand Lion fans in the stands of Lion King Stadium welcomed Henry''s return. They ushered in the challenge of Leverkusen at home.


    In the first round, Millwall had an overwhelming advantage and got a 4:0 result at home, laying the foundation for advancing to the top 8.


    On the penultimate day of the month, the first crown of the New Year in England was born!


    Mourinho coached Chelsea in the first season and won a championship trophy as quickly as possible.


    Although it is an unremarkable League Cup, it is very important for morale.


    Before Millwall returned to Leverkusen in March, Fleet Street blew up.


    "Chelsea and Millwall meet in the Champions League quarterfinals!"


    Chelsea''s Champions League game is one day ahead of Millwall, so when they advanced, the top 8 match was also released, and Millwall is almost impossible to be overturned by Leverkusen!


    Millwall sent a substitute line-up on the road, not contempt for Leverkusen. Although there are only two Premier League games in March, they still have a FA Cup quarter-final game to play. At the same time, there is a FIFA match day this month. Physical exertion is a test.


    Millwall, who came off the bench, lost to Leverkusen 1-2 away, with a total score of 5:2 and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League!


    In an interview after the game, Aldridge talked about playing Chelsea in the quarter-finals and said lightly: "We have nothing to worry about. It should be Chelsea''s concern. Chelsea passed the early season of the run-in, and now it seems that they are gradually entering. Good situation, but Millwall''s overall strength has increased this season. The progress of players such as Ronaldo, Kaka, Ram, Silva is very obvious. In the league we have defeated Chelsea, and now, we are more than then. powerful."


    His remarks were in response to Mourinho¡¯s remarks that Chelsea was stronger than the beginning of the season. It seems that Mourinho was making excuses for losing the first half of the league to Millwall, thinking that Chelsea was still running in. They didn''t break out. After Chelsea started breaking out, they chased Millwall 6 points in the league and won a championship.


    Millwall returned to England to take a short break, and immediately scored 2-0 at home to Leicester City to advance to the FA Cup semifinals!


    Glenshare has become a valuable aid for Millwall this season. The FA Cup can reach the semi-finals. He has contributed to it. On the basis of avoiding excessive consumption of Millwall, his role on the court also includes supporting Messi, Moutinho and other young players.


    In the two Premier League games in March, Millwall successfully won, Chelsea saved a breath, plus relying on utilitarian anti-reaction, the record was very good, and also won the game.


    When April is coming, Fleet Street defines April as: the month of the decisive battle!


    In addition to Millwall and Chelsea playing two games in the Champions League at the beginning and middle of the month, at the end of April, in the penultimate round of the Premier League, the two teams will also greet the second half of the league. That may be the final decision of the champion. Battle!

 Chapter 1056： Bet!

    In the evening of April 6, 2005.


    Stamford Bridge, full of stars!


    The first and second place in the Premier League standings will be played in the Champions League.


    Just like Chelsea''s visit to the Lion King Stadium, Millwall came here and was also under great pressure from the grandstand atmosphere of Chelsea home fans!


    When Aldridge walked into the field, the noise was deafening, and the crazy Lions fans who came away made as much as possible to compete with the home team.


    He sat calmly on the coach seat and still did not shake hands with Mourinho before the game.


    Since Mourinho landed in the Premier League, all of the two "communications" between the two have been on the media platform. The last time they played at the Lion King Stadium, Mourinho was expelled by the referee in advance, and the two naturally had no chance after the game. shake hands.


    Chelsea boss Abu appeared in the stands.


    Mourinho''s work is generally satisfactory to him, and there must be flaws. The first is that he still lags behind Millwall in the league, including the fiasco. The second is that despite Chelsea''s strength in the league, the team''s technical and tactical style is very different from what he envisioned.


    No fan in the world will say that Chelsea is playing beautiful football.


    However, beauty is a high pursuit after survival, and Abu is not demanding perfection at this stage. It can bring honor to this heavily-built team. This is a wonderful start.


    Mourinho''s posture on the court was somewhat aggressive. To put it bluntly, he was in the limelight, putting pressure on the opponent, or provoking it, causing the opponent to lose their psychological balance, which in turn gave Chelsea a chance on the scene, which was invisible to the naked eye. , But these will affect the game bit by bit.


    Starting players from both sides lined up and the Champions League theme song echoed in Stamford Bridge Stadium.


    "The highly anticipated first round of the Champions League quarter-finals is about to start. Surprisingly, this year''s Champions League quarter-finals, two pairs of derby opponents caught the match. In the other half, AC Milan and Inter Milan staged the Champions League Milan derby. In this half zone, Millwall and Chelsea staged the London Derby! If you only look at the past record of the battle between Millwall and Chelsea, then Millwall''s victory and promotion look no suspense, but this season, Mourinho After coaching Chelsea, he made a qualitative leap for this team. Although Chelsea still lags behind Millwall in the league, they have already thrown away their competitors far away, and their performance in the Champions League is also very eye-catching. We have reason to believe that today''s game, as well as the next round of moving to the Lion King Stadium, something unexpected will happen. Today, Millwall and Chelsea are doing their best.


    Chelsea start: 433.


    Goalkeeper: Cech.


    Guards: Ferreira, Carvalho, Terry, Ashley Cole.


    Midfielders: Essien, Makelele, Lampard.


    Forwards: Duff, Drogba, Ribery.


    Millwall started 433.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Nesta, Silva, Ram.


    Midfielders: De Rossi, Nedved, Kaka.


    Forwards: C Ronaldo, Henry, Ronaldinho. "


    Due to Alonso¡¯s minor injury, Milwall¡¯s midfield starter changed today. Before that, when Alonso was suspended due to a red card, Nedved played the position of the center midfielder and played well. With more than ten years of experience playing for the team, and the tacit understanding of working with Aldridge, he can almost do his best in any position in the midfield, just like he is in the Czech national team, playing forward and back It is also possible to play in the midfield in one step. Villa¡¯s burning energy in the 2/3 season of the season made the second half of the state fluctuate relatively. As Henry returns and the season enters the sprint stage, Aldridge has higher requirements for the front line. He will choose the starting candidate according to the player''s status, even Ronaldo may be removed from the starting list due to the ups and downs.


    Aldridge, who was sitting on the coach''s bench, bent over and supported his cheeks, gazing quietly at the stadium.


    This gesture of his reflects well on Millwall''s posture at the start of the game!


    The Champions League is not a league.


    In fact, even if the league lost to Chelsea one game, or even double-killed, it will not be desperate.


    However, if there is a problem in the two rounds of the cup, if you make a mistake, there is no room to make up for it. This reason was understood long ago by Aldridge, and the caution of playing the cup knockout is also the policy that has always been implemented. Never wavered.


    Millwall stabilized the ball in the midfield and backcourt after the opening to ensure that the Chelsea formation was compressed to the extreme retreat before attacking. On the road, they are not in a hurry, there is no need to hurry!


    And because the Champions League has rules for scoring away goals, as long as they don¡¯t lose the ball, patiently look for opportunities to score, they can advance.


    The reason is so simple.


    Millwall had a newcomer at the beginning of the season. After more than half of the season''s running-in and promotion, no matter the young players'' technical ability, game experience, or team understanding, they quickly rose to a new height.


    This makes their team skills and tactics more powerful!


    Chelsea is very uncomfortable.


    Sitting at home, because their core idea is to prevent anti-reaction, they cannot take the initiative to attack!


    Drogba''s crazy rushing in the midfield is just a waste of energy and was consumed by opponents.


    Ribery himself ranked second after Joe Cole, but unexpectedly, when Robben had just recently recovered from the injury but was afraid to be activated, Joe Cole lost to Ribery in the winger competition. High position, thanks to his obedient, like Joe Cole and Robben always need Mourinho to roar frantically on the sidelines, let them participate in the defense, Ribery waits for the opportunity to rise, naturally understand how to satisfy Mourinho So, under the premise of putting a lot of energy on defense, Mourinho improved Ribery''s team position.


    However, in the face of Millwall, Ribery and Duff on the other side did not dare to go to grab easily, for fear of losing the space behind him, especially Lampard. He knew what Millwall was playing. idea.


    20 minutes into the game, Millwall had a very high possession rate, but did not create a good opportunity.


    The Chelsea formation is extremely compressed, but it can''t fight a better counterattack, because their counterattack starting position is too late, Millwall''s midfield interception ability is also top, Nedved with De Rossi, how can he let Their monotonous counterattack tactics penetrated the middle? Not to mention Nesta, who had eaten Drogba on the back line, it was a moose!


    Silva''s progress this season is very obvious, the defense is becoming more stable.


    There is only one problem on the guard line that has troubled Odrich: When Silva is completely world-class, Nesta is estimated to be almost unable to persist throughout the season.


    This question is far from far, close to near, it is not unfounded, there is a game of chess in my heart, I know when to lay out, when to end, when to break out of the Quartet, when there is no external intervention, Audrey Qi has always taken one step and three steps for the team''s construction.


    Keeping his cheeks while watching the game on the coach''s bench, Aldridge did not have the slightest killing spirit. This London Derby in the Champions League game, he will win in the first game, he also firmly believes that Chelsea is absolutely Not as strong as cold!


    What will make them shaken? Let them panic?


    time!


    Mourinho stood on the sidelines directing the team to play, and now the scene on the court seems familiar.


    In last year''s Champions League final, Millwall used this routine to consume Porto.


    Although Mourinho himself did not admit that he lost to Aldridge, he decided that Millwall scored the first goal using the rules. In fact, he knew that Millwall would break through the Porto door. The problem is only time.


    Now, he has a team that is one grade stronger than Porto. He firmly believes that Chelsea can compete against Millwall, but the comparison of the situation on the court makes him lose heart.


    The main defense depends on four backs, double backs, and all-round midfielder Lampard''s defensive end. The main force is 7 people. The winger is to participate in the defense. If the winger retreats to a deep area in the second half, counterattack But the threat will be much lower over the same period!


    Because Millwall''s defense is much stronger than the second-generation mad lion!


    The key point is the main force Alonso. Now Nedved, who is playing this position, has a stronger defensive ability and awareness than the second-generation mad lion main force Pirlo, especially in interception. The consistency of the team''s defense makes the Chelsea''s counterattack wants to see through the needle and penetrate the opponent, it is too difficult, too difficult, Drogba is not the strongest Drogba, he can now use his physical advantage to abuse 70% of the Premier League guards, but he can''t occupy it in front of Nesta Half a point is cheap, but the new leader of the mad lion guard line calmly looks like a god. The season has entered the countdown, but almost no picture of Nesta making mistakes or mistakes on the field!


    The game time is 35 minutes, and Chelsea will be extremely depressed!


    This is Stamford Bridge!


    Is their home court.


    But they were beaten by Millwall in the scene!


    The halftime offense will soon be ended. In the counterpoint defense, their wingers have one-on-one advantage as if they are not obvious. Ribery is today on the side of Schneider, Duff is Turram, but just This pair of German full-backs are intercepted with defensive consciousness and technology, rather than rushing to crush their opponents, so Ribery and Duff¡¯s change of direction breakthrough is likely to be predicted by Schneider and Ram Correct, even if the prediction is wrong, they will not expose absolute emptiness to the opponent, the main blocked line is still inside, and the emphasis is on the inside and the outside.


    Chelsea must score a goal by stepping on Millwall''s body to advance to the Champions League semi-finals!


    And must score at Stamford Bridge!


    This is a consensus within their team.


    Those players who played for Millwall actually played a negative psychological role at this moment.


    In their subconscious mind, they would not think that running to the Lion King Stadium would take away victory!


    That is not a small probability, it is absolutely impossible in cognition!


    At home, Millwall has never lost!


    Even when Klinsmann coached, he never lost to his opponents at home in the European War!


    Not to mention Aldridge?


    How could the monarch, who is in charge of everything in Millwall, overturn the ship in the gutter at home?


    The only chance to defeat Millwall and advance to the semi-finals is to rely on home court!


    Defeat your opponents at home and go away to stubbornly stop Millwall from crushing them!


    It is under the influence of such psychological cues that Chelsea will see the team''s situation on the court is unfavorable and have other ideas.


    There were less than 10 minutes left in the first half of the game. Taking advantage of this period of time, quickly rushed to play Millwall?


    In fact, Mourinho had the same idea on the sidelines.


    Can Millwall take possession of the ball for too long, and has not withstood the severe test? Is it possible to gamble? With the end of the first half, players may be less vigilant, so as to beat opponents by surprise?


    Mourinho, who has an eye for his team, knows that his disciples can''t hold back through the players'' running position and activity trends.


    So, in his heart, he gave a ruthless gesture to the players and attacked Millwall!


    At that moment, his expression showed a terrible look!


    In the last defeat, he did not go to gambling and missed the best time. This time, he bet!


    After seeing the Chelsea midfield line and the full-backs starting to push forward, Aldridge changed his movement, still bending over, resting his hands on his thighs, bowing his head, no one could see his expression at the moment.


    A sneer came to the corner of his mouth.

 Chapter 1057： Silent psychological warfare

    Despite being at Stamford Bridge, Millwall''s more than 10,000 fans are still singing and dancing in the stands and mocking the dead.


    Judging from the situation after the start of the game, Millwall is suppressing Chelsea, and Chelsea''s fans are somewhat helpless and suffocated.


    Fuck!


    The team invested more than 300 million pounds in two years, and the team''s strength has been greatly improved.


    But at home, how can you still play so useless?


    In fact, Chelsea have rarely played well this season, because Mourinho''s utilitarianism makes Chelsea as long as he leads, but pays more attention to defense in order to maintain the victory!


    This is the best embodiment of utilitarianism.


    I just want the result!


    It doesn''t matter how many goals are scored.


    In the 42nd minute of the game, when Chelsea pushed forward from the backcourt of Ashley Cole from the left, the lion fans in the stands suddenly felt tight.


    Ashley Cole dribble the ball through the half!


    Ronaldo did not follow him!


    Chelsea''s offensive suddenly broke out!


    Makelele responded in the middle of the midfield, Essien''s position was premised, Lampard quickly inserted, Ribery ran to the inside to tear, Drogba sprinted forward to drive the depth of attack!


    A series of running positions were carried out simultaneously.


    Millwall seemed to be in a state of chaos, they quickly retreated in the midfield and backcourt, the four guards retreated into the big penalty area line, and De Rossi and Nedved protected the barrier outside the penalty area. Triangle system is formed in tacit agreement!


    Chelsea quickly pushed the offensive into Millwall''s half and moved to the middle. Makelele handed the ball to Essien. He dared not push it forward. Essien took the ball forward and no one defended him. But he watched Millwall''s defensive players stagger the defensive positions, and he fell into a daze.


    He didn''t know how to develop the offense.


    He is not an offensive organizer.


    When facing an opponent''s defense line that does not actively expose empty space, he does not know how to face it to make the complex situation easier.


    So he handed the ball to Lampard.


    After Lampard stopped the ball, Nedvide moved to the Lampard side to defend, and De Rossi obscured Essien''s forward route.


    Lampard''s scalp is numb!


    He is a player who is good at catching gaps. He just didn''t find any obvious gaps.


    Nedved posted a good defensive opportunity, without giving Lampard a chance to speed up the previous conflict while breaking the ball, becoming a positive one-on-one.


    Lampard didn''t try to break through. He didn''t think he could break through Nedved. The opponent must be defending against this!


    Ribery is running too deep, there is no pass line, pass the ball back to Essien?


    He passed.


    Essien immediately passed the ball to Duff on the right.


    Duff had no choice, he could only break through or cross the bottom.


    In the middle of the pass, he was a little bit unsure himself, and the effect would not be too good, so he could only break through. After Essien passed the ball, he was closer to De Rossi and there was no room for the ball.


    The true pass is a knife mountain ball!


    Duff tried to break through Ram, the ball passed, but the man was blocked by Ram''s body, blocking his line of progress, and the ball rolled over was controlled by Silva.


    Millwall an unassailable defense!


    Mourinho saw this scene on the sidelines, just about to complain about Ram''s defensive foul, but stopped again. He immediately shouted at Makelele: "Foul! Block Millwall''s fast break!"


    At this moment, he felt a panic.


    Millwall''s unhurried defense, especially Ronaldo did not return to the half, Kaka was also on standby in the midfield, Millwall''s fast break, the players are enough!


    Also, space.


    Chelsea also gave Millwall after this attack.


    After Silva controlled the ball, Duff quickly rushed up to fight back. Silva calmly passed the ball to the nearest Ram. Ram brought the ball near the sideline. Essien rushed over to intercept and may also With the intention of fouling, Ram didn''t give him a chance to get close and passed the ball straight to Ronaldinho in front.


    Ronaldinho did not stop the ball, directly adjusted his running direction along the direction of the ball rolling, and touched the ball at the same time completed the acceleration soaring!


    Kaka started forward in the midfield. In this wave of attack, Millwall did not occupy a number of advantages, the trident of the striker, plus a Kaka.


    Chelsea have four guards and a midfielder Makelele.


    5 defense 4!


    But Millwall has enough room to play, especially after Ronaldinho''s dribbling speed has soared, the forward impact force makes the defense''s defensive choice judgment at a critical shot must be absolutely correct!


    Anyone who makes mistakes may lead to a flaw in the defense and be caught by Millwall.


    Ronaldinho quickly dribbled along the sidewalk, Kaka burst into the middle, Makelele wanted to foul, but did he put down Kaka running without the ball at this time?


    The referee will definitely not stop the game, and he can''t go to the defense to defend Ronaldinho, so he can only follow Kaka and quickly retreat.


    Ronaldinho took the ball and pressed the sideways. Ferreira was terrified. He didn''t dare to grab it. He was afraid of losing position. After Ronaldinho came to him, Ronaldinho''s right foot swayed in front of the ball and stepped on a bicycle. Ferret Ronaldinho thinks that Ronaldinho will habitually cut inwards, so he focuses on the inside line, but Ronaldinho stepped on the bicycle and continued to accelerate towards the bottom line.


    Ferreira almost started to pull Ronaldinho down. At the critical moment, he resisted the urge and turned around to try to defend Ronaldinho. He was shocked to find Ronaldinho sticking to the bottom line and cutting inward!


    Ronaldinho did not rush to pass the ball, he slowed down, Ferreira rushed over and tackled the tackle defense!


    Ronaldinho just waited for Ferreira to come. Only when the opponent came over, he could bring out the depth of the back line, so that he would not be offside in the next step!


    Before Ferreira''s flying shovel, Ronaldinho made a short pass to Henry who ran over to catch him. Henry blocked Carvalho behind him, facing the ball, gently using his arch to make the ball back, slightly outward At the same time, Ronaldinho turned to the outside when the pass was completed. Ferreira of the flying shovel turned his head and looked back because the inertia had not completed the sliding shovel action. Ronaldinho passed him again!


    Ronaldinho, who has regained control of the ball, now has a shooting angle. He pretends to be a swinging shot. Carvalho rushes up to block, but Ronaldinho shakes his ankle and makes the ball back to Henry again!


    Henry kicked the ball without stopping the ball, and the ball rolled into the goal against the goal post. Cech did not respond!


    This series of partial collaborations not only caused the crazy fans on the scene to go crazy, but also made the audience who watched through the TV be enthralled!


    Ronaldinho and Henry''s partial short pass cooperation may only be completed within 2 seconds.


    Ronaldinho passes Henry, Henry returns, Ronaldinho passes Henry again, Henry scores!


    Ferreira and Carvalho were penetrated!


    Chelsea city gate declared lost!


    Ronaldinho jumped on Henry''s back. Henry ran to the side with Ronaldinho behind him, and the two laughed and waved their arms, passionate!


    "Milwall completed an amazing goal! Ronaldinho dribble the ball from the left and went straight to the bottom line. He passed Ferreira twice, once with the ball and once with the pass, Ferreira made mistakes in both judgments! Terry and Makelele did not dare to act rashly because of the threat of Kaka and C Ronaldo. Carvalho fell into an embarrassing situation after losing Ferreira¡¯s support, Rhone Assisted by Henry, he made Henry score his first goal in the Champions League this season. Missing Henry for most of the season, he only recently recovered from injury and gradually recovered his status. He is good news. He just caught up with the Champions League quarter-finals in the best state. Look at the small cooperation between him and Ronaldinho. The skillful tacit understanding is dazzling. The Chelsea goalkeeper has performed abnormally in the league. The outstanding Cech didn''t even make a save, and he only reacted when he scored the goal! Millwall took the lead in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals and led Chelsea 1-0!"


    After Henry scored, Aldridge stood up from the coach seat, applauded Henry''s goal with a smile, and slowly came to the sidelines.


    And Mourinho''s expression is a bit unnatural at this time, he is restraining, try not to make himself nervous!


    However, the tens of thousands of blue army fans in the stands have been trembling nervously!


    Millwall scored an away goal!


    Don''t think about this first, it seems that Chelsea is difficult to break through the other party''s door! It''s hard!


    In the VIP box at Stamford Bridge, Arthur jumped up and down with Burt and Earl, celebrating Millwall with a big smile.


    Andrew smiled, and said: "Chelsea thought Millwall disdained them, but did not know that they had already been affected by Millwall, no, it was Aldridge."


    Arthur froze, letting go of Earl and Burt''s hands, turning his head and asking, "What do you mean?"


    Andrew said to Nunu in the stadium and smiled: "Don''t you find it strange? In the past, Aldridge played a psychological battle with Ferguson and took the initiative to fight with Wenger. In the past three months, Mourinho has been putting pressure on Millwall, Aldridge did not respond."


    Arthur shrugged and said, "What do they do? We are super giants, with countless champions, and Chelsea are just rich."


    Andrew shook his head and said: "It''s wrong to think this way. Aldridge will not have this kind of arrogant restraint. When he should fight with his opponent, he will not flinch. In fact, Chelsea may be wondering himself. Why Aldridge has been Silence seems to disdain them, which is not like Aldridge''s style."


    "Did he do anything?"


    Andrew chuckled and said: "I''m afraid Chelsea will never understand that Fleet Street has been repeating Millwall''s strong fighting power at home in the near future. Millwall has not lost the European War at home, and repeatedly emphasized that Chelsea will win Milwaukee at home. Only then can there be hope for promotion. These public opinion bombardments have subtly influenced the mindset of Chelsea players. They have made a mistake. Psychological warfare is not a quarrel between coaches. The one who quarrels can win the battle on the football field. What''s important is the media''s direction, and the media''s public opinion is concerned about the mental pressure and influence exerted by it. Ha ha ha, media resources accumulated over ten years, Audridge has a beautiful battle to keep opponents in the dark."

 Chapter 1058： Short board

    On the stands of Stamford Bridge, Abu sat blankly in his seat. He put on a posture similar to Audridge''s before the goal took place, holding his cheek in his hand, his expression slightly dazed and helpless.


    Relative to the league, he values ??the Champions League more, the influence of the Champions League is too great, and the stimulus of the Champions League is relatively higher.


    At home now, Chelsea are behind in the score, he naturally understands the rules of the Champions League, Chelsea''s situation is precarious.


    Abu originally thought that he was very patient, the people who dig Milwall, and the next generation of young talents in advance, this is a long-term construction layout, otherwise, the heavy money will be hit when the playing star is the index of the general outbreak team With the aid policy, Abu has more money, and youth training has been added.


    However, looking at Millwall''s performance this season, as well as the average age of Millwall''s overall lineup, Abu thinks that his past ideas are somewhat naive or optimistic.


    How could Millwall fall easily?


    Don''t look at the pursuit of Millwall in the Chelsea League.


    But did Mourinho focus on training young Chelsea players during the season?


    What about Millwall?


    They were pulled into points by Chelsea, in a sense, it also has the impact of the price paid by Aldridge to train newcomers.


    Moutinho, Veroso, Messi, Ramos, and Millwall are not as crazy as the past to give young players leveling space, but they are always carrying forward their traditional tradition.


    At this point of comparison, Chelsea is caught in a self-knot.


    The first team cannot train, what''s the use of buying young players?


    Glen Johnson, who bought last year, almost disappeared this season. If this goes on, will Chelsea appeal to young players, especially top talents?


    The more he thinks about the problems of running these clubs, the more Abu has a headache, not just the trouble caused by a dangerous game on the court.


    Inside the stadium.


    Mourinho was turbulent, and perhaps the media bombardment did not even detect any outstanding problems himself.


    Because Fleet Street looks forward to this Champions League rival, Derby, the voices made by the mainstream media are not exaggerated.


    The home of Millwall, the Lion King Stadium, is indeed the home of the Devil looking all over Europe!


    The giants from all over Europe have basically played guest games at the Lion King Stadium, but they have not taken advantage of it there.


    When Fleet Street "made a plan" for Chelsea, the argument was not "one-sided" pessimism, but "tragic"!


    It takes Chelsea to get a relatively good result at home, and then there is hope to go to the Lion King Stadium to win in the second round!


    There was a lesson in the first round of the league''s fiasco. Although Mourinho did not dare to fight against Millwall in the match, but when it was appropriate, he suddenly exerted his strength. This is his main idea for this game.


    However, Millwall seemed to have foreseen it, they waited for Chelsea to hold back, and the defense line loosened and attacked!


    A ball!


    It was just that Millwall scored a goal at Stamford Bridge, but he understood in the hearts of the coaches of both sides: Chelsea''s Champions League journey is at the point of life and death!


    There was no waves in the first half. Chelsea didn''t dare to attack after losing the ball. First, he had to stabilize. The sudden loss of the ball hit them too much.


    When the players from both sides walked towards the player channel, Millwall fans in the stands chanted: "Chelsea, Chelsea, you can attack if you have any kind! You can attack if you have any kind!"


    Mourinho''s first season of coaching Chelsea is coming to an end. Mo said that Premier League fans, even fans in Europe and even around the world, have a mature impression of Chelsea.


    Tough, solid defense, focus on counterattack.


    These three characteristics are the most obvious.


    Fans who do not like Chelsea will naturally ridicule them for only sneak attacks. In the coaching circle, coaches who have played against Chelsea also have a lot of hates for Chelsea, attacking Mourinho''s team for excessive utility, such as in the round of 16 Opponent, Barcelona!


    The black swan Rijkaard had a sharp conflict with Mourinho.


    It¡¯s not unreasonable for Barcelona fans to hate Chelsea, because they think Chelsea wins, and Chelsea accuses the referee of being bought by Barcelona during the game against Barcelona because Mourinho declared that he hit Rijekar during the halftime break. De walked into the referee lounge, which was against the rules.


    Aldridge rarely shows his likes and dislikes of other coaches in front of the media.


    Some words, needless to say.


    He did not shake hands with Mourinho, he has already explained everything.


    Before this game, Aldrich''s relaxed posture in the media exhibition was also interpreted as a mockery of Mourinho in disguise.


    "Someone said that the method used to lead a team to eliminate Manchester United was to tell the players in the locker room: Fanny earned more than all of you! I am curious, can the Chelsea coach Say this sentence to Chelsea players again to stimulate the fighting spirit of Chelsea players?"


    In stimulating the fighting spirit of the army, Mourinho certainly cannot stimulate the team with the stimulating way of playing with mud legs like the coaching Porto in the past, and now can''t talk about money, only talk about honor.


    However, when it comes to honor, how can Milwall''s fighting spirit be weaker than them?


    Chelsea is working towards the first Premier League champion and the first Champions League champion.


    What about Millwall?


    It is the first in the history of the Champions League!


    They only need one Champions League to tie the number of Real Madrid and AC Milan wins!


    At halftime, Mourinho changed the team''s technical and tactical play.


    In the first half, he may have only been fighting for a short period of time, and as a result, he lost!


    In the second half, and perhaps the entire second half, Chelsea will bet everything!


    What if they scored a goal to equalize?


    1:1!


    Millwall has the advantage of scoring away, but in fact Chelsea is still behind.


    Therefore, the goal in the second half is to score at least two goals!


    In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought.


    Aldridge was back on the coach seat, reading the game quietly.


    Chelsea''s playstyle changed in the second half.


    The premise of the defender line, the midfield is madly pressed, and the forward line also withdraws to reduce the midfield space.


    If an ordinary team encounters Chelsea like this, it is actually unsustainable.


    Because Chelsea''s midfield players are too capable of sweeping, the average team needs to organize offensives in the midfield, and the tandem is excessive. It is precisely in this area that the number of people is dense. The chance of being intercepted by Chelsea and then playing a fast attack will be very high.


    But Millwall is not afraid, they are already familiar with making the offensive more retreat, the organization area is not only behind the midfield position, the entire back line can organize the offensive.


    A good tacit understanding prevents them from uploading the ball on the back line. It feels like they are playing with fire. Suddenly playing like this, the players themselves will certainly not be used to it. Will look very relaxed.


    Even if Chelsea got the ball to organize the attack, Millwall¡¯s defense was very targeted, withdrawing the defense line, not defending, and not rushing in the foreign trade in the dangerous area. The defensive formation in the dangerous zone in front of the door was very tight, always maintaining four Guard and double back protection.


    "Chelsea''s short board is very obvious in this game. They are not good at positional battles. Even if Millwall only has a full back line and double backs, Chelsea lacks when it comes to the offensive end. Change, they don¡¯t have Ronaldinho, they can¡¯t pass a very concealed pass, and they have a lack of power on the wing, because there is not enough space. Now, they can only rely on long shots to end the offense, otherwise , They may lose the ball right in the hesitation, and then Millwall hit fast break."


    Millwall will be crazy to rob, Chelsea will also be.


    However, there is a gap. Millwall robs his opponents. Most of his opponents are surprised, or the strength difference is too big to collapse under pressure, but there are also Millwall that can¡¯t be robbed. For example, when playing Real Madrid. Derridge will not let Millwall go crazy to rob Real Madrid. The key point when turning from defense to defense is to quickly retreat. Return to the defensive area first, because Real Madrid has the kind of top players with medium and long distance precision long passes. And a top striker with outstanding running ability.


    Chelsea madly robbed Millwall, there are two weaknesses. First, the ball rights are at the foot of Millwall for a long time, they can not grab, and physical energy is consumed quickly, especially when a sprint breaks out and robs a small period of time, it is inevitable If you want to take a breath and try to break out, your body will definitely not keep up. Secondly, Millwall also has accurate top players in the long distance and long pass!


    In the 69th minute of the game, Chelsea missed a long shot and the ball was confiscated by Bout. Then, the offensive player of Chelsea did not retreat and continued to rush in the frontcourt.


    Millwall passed back and forth three times on the back line, and finally Ram sent the ball straight to the frontcourt. Makelele and Essien were frantically rushing in the midfield. They looked around and Henry ran out of the air to meet the high-altitude ball. Facing away from Chelsea in the penalty area, the ball was perfectly removed with the chest, and then waited for Carvalho to grab behind. Makelele came to steal, and he knocked the ball back to Ronaldinho.


    This pass to Ronaldinho, Makelele had a pre-judgment, so he turned directly and blocked Ronaldinho with Essien.


    Ronaldinho dribbles the ball laterally, but takes the initiative to slow down the speed. After Essien and Makelele are forced up, Ronaldinho makes a movement that makes the two unbelievable.


    He turned to protect the ball!


    Facing Chelsea''s goal!


    Is this going to fight back and forth towards my goal?


    of course not.


    When Essien and Makelele were suspicious, Ronaldinho pulled the ball behind him, dexterously knocked the ball laterally, and flew towards Makeleine and Essien Ronaldinho looked at the direction of the ball rolling with surprise.


    It is their side and rear, the middle zone.


    A dashing figure flew by.


    Kaka, son of God!

 Chapter 1059： Beast

    The fast-paced Kaka inserted forward, the ball and the ball were perfectly combined at the same time, and the speed was directly tripped. The stride meteor shook off the positions of Makelele and Essien, and when he went to the next step, he turned around and chased back. Essien and Makelele opened five positions directly. Aldridge saw this scene and couldn''t help but get up from the coach seat.


    Kaka, there is already the shadow of the rush to accelerate the ball in the peak period!


    Rush! Rush! Rush! ! !


    Four players from Chelsea''s defender line watched Kaka''s dribble and quickly felt the heavy pressure!


    Henry, who was out of position, immediately turned and rushed to Carvalho. When approaching Carvalho, he suddenly ran to the left and looked forward to anti-offside!


    Carvalho didn''t dare to lose Henry. If Henry was allowed to run from his side and into the rib area of ??the penalty area, even Ferreira who was supported from outside would be blocked by Henry. If Henry got a shot, no People can stop!


    Carvalho then moved backwards, following Henry, faintly, and the space between him and Terry pulled away!


    Cristiano Ronaldo also ran out of position. Terry, despite his scalp numbness, could not let Kaka leave him alone. He could only hand Cristiano Ronaldo to Ashley Cole to defend. At the same time, he could not rush out of the penalty area to grab In that case, he will create a pass line that allows Kaka to contact Ronaldo!


    As if a gust of wind swept through, Kaka did not hesitate at all, his eyes steadfastly took the ball to the penalty area of ??Chelsea, one step, two steps, three steps, killing the penalty area!


    At this time, he has almost no pass space, and he does not have Ronaldinho''s divine scalpel passing ability, so he can only do it alone!


    Terry spotted this and started intercepting Kaka head-on!


    Terry moved to the front of Kaka, and according to the defender''s defensive awareness, he prepared to intercept at the place where he would face Kaka directly.


    Unexpected things happened!


    Terry''s brain was short-circuited in an instant.


    Kaka, whose speed is so fast and frightening, actually accelerated while kicking the ball!


    This is the way Kaka was instilled in the ability of coaches when Millwall received special training.


    He''s fast, but don''t mention the fastest speed all at once. Be sure to keep some and complete the ultimate burst when you need to break through!


    This is the speedup, and Terry thought that the foolproof interception made a big mistake!


    His foot tripped Kaka!


    The ball actually passed before his feet. When the feet stretched out, Kaka could pass him by one step!


    Kaka fell into the penalty area!


    The hustle and bustle of Stamford Bridge suddenly disappeared, a moment of silence.


    For Chelsea fans, the harsh whistle sounded!


    But in the ears of Millwall fans, it''s natural.


    The referee took a penalty kick and walked over to show Terry a yellow card!


    "Penalty! Penalty! Terry blocked Kaka''s foul in the penalty area! This penalty was undisputed. Kaka''s acceleration on the last pass made Terry fail to keep up with the rhythm. He kicked Kaka out of the kick, Kaka did not perform. It is definitely not that Mourinho is using a gesture of satire on the sidelines. The replay shot is very clear. Also, now Kaka is still in the penalty area. It may seem that the speed is too fast. After falling down, I was injured!"


    Millwall''s team doctors came in to check Kaka''s injury. Chelsea will be surrounding the referee to protest and defend, but that obviously will not make the referee change the penalty.


    Mourinho made a gesture of Kaka''s false fall on the sidelines while still complaining to the fourth official.


    Aldridge walked to Mourinho with an angry look, and yelled angrily: "You **** shut up to Laozi! Can''t you lose?"


    Chelsea players fouled in the penalty area and Millwall players were injured after being violated. It was originally a very common picture on the football field, and there is nothing unacceptable.


    Mourinho had to accuse Kaka of falling, which made Audridge unacceptable. Even at Stamford Bridge, he must stand up!


    Mourinho''s dead duck is hard-mouthed and shouted to Audridge: "That''s a fake! Your player is deliberately looking for a penalty!"


    Aldridge was too lazy to argue with Mourinho again.


    It is said that Xiu only met the soldiers, and it was unclear.


    Aldridge is not a talent, but he is not a rogue, this argument is meaningless.


    In order to prevent the two sides from intensifying their emotions, the fourth official first blocked Mourinho and let him return to his area of ??command.


    Aldrich turned to look up at the stands of Stamford Bridge in a cold look.


    In his vision, tens of thousands of Chelsea fans raised their hands to point at him, not knowing what to say in his mouth, and there was confusion.


    And Aldridge''s gaze crossed over a large number of fans and cast on Abu sitting in the VIP stand!


    Aldridge raised his right hand and stretched out to indicate the court behind him.


    Two men very far apart.


    Aldridge and Abu met.


    This is the beautiful football you want?


    This is the team you want to build?


    Abu quickly avoided Aldridge''s sight, and he also felt that Chelsea''s performance today was a bit ugly.


    But what can be done?


    Aldridge walked back to the coach seat with a somber look.


    Kaka was injured and had to come off. The team doctor''s preliminary judgment was that it was a hard injury. A rest of ten days and a half months would be fine. After all, it was not the kind of active injury without contact. It was kicked by Terry, and then the pace was unstable. ''S foot wasn''t firm and sprained his ankle.


    In the booing of Stamford Bridge, Ronaldinho took the penalty and it was done in one fell swoop!


    Ronaldinho ran to the sidelines after scoring a goal, with an index finger standing in front of his mouth, beckoning the fans who booed at Stamford Bridge to shut up!


    "2:0, Millwall extended the lead to two goals with a penalty made by Kaka. To be honest, it is placed on other teams. We may not dare to make a conclusion, but if we end the game with this score If it is, then it is almost certain that Millwall will reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League this season. For Millwall, Kaka¡¯s injury was an accident. This Brazilian front midfielder who performed well this season, I don¡¯t know his Whether the injury is serious or not will have a major impact on Millwall''s final sprint at the end of the season. Millwall will make a substitution. The injured Kaka is replaced by veteran Larson! You can see from Millwall''s substitution , Sir Hall has no idea of ??ending, he will continue to put pressure on Chelsea!"


    Aldridge started to stand on the sidelines and Millwall changed his position.


    Ronaldinho changed to play the midfielder, Larson topped the forward line, or 3 forward, continue to put pressure on the opponent offensively!


    Chelsea are at home, affected by the atmosphere at home, their mentality is much more "steady" than away.


    This "stable" means that they will not collapse when the score is further behind, the players have the idea of ??discouragement.


    Instead, they will be like injured beasts, killing red eyes and desperately fighting with Millwall!


    After a season of hard work, Millwall was hard pressed in the league and met in the Champions League again!


    Now two goals behind at home!


    They really fight!


    Cut out everything and fight with Millwall!


    This kind of fight becomes the aggressiveness of the foul action on the basis of crazy rushing. The field is like a group of fierce beasts ramming.


    In the 81st minute of the game, Schneider set the pressure and sent a precise long pass from the top of the midfield to the ball directly to the left of the front court near the penalty area.


    C Rooneche''s running position left Ferreira, Chelsea madly forced to keep the third line tightly bound, and must pay the price of the premise of the defender line. It is not surprising that Millwall penetrated the entire defense line with a long pass.


    Ronaldo did a good job of stopping the ball after cutting inwards, but unfortunately the shot was still not perfect enough and was confiscated by Cech!


    Ronaldo, who failed to score, made an annoying gesture.


    Chelsea''s offensive is still unable to penetrate in the dangerous area of ??Millwall, they are determined to shoot long shots!


    Long shots bring another opportunity: positioning the ball.


    In the 87th minute, Lampard''s long shot hit Silva and the bottom line was popped. They took a corner kick, a tactical corner kick, and Ribery passed the ball after a pass from the side. The overcrowded penalty area was chaotic. Terry''s jump is not high, but his sharp sense of snatching the landing point is still very good. This time, he grabbed the landing point, directly headed the ball and knocked Bout''s ten fingers off!


    "Chelsea has one back, 1:2, there are still about five minutes left in the game, Chelsea still have a chance, as captain Terry will make up for it at this moment, he let Chelsea come back from the death line!"


    Stamford Bridge was boiling, the Blues fans seemed to cheer for Terry crazy, and also urged the players to return to the half quickly like Mourinho, hurry up and prepare to continue the game, scoring as many goals as possible!


    Aldridge also waved excitedly to signal that players should not be too defensive!


    attack!


    Fuck offense!


    Chelsea dare to attack!


    Our choice is not to **** back!


    It''s offense!


    After receiving instructions from Aldridge, Millwall''s team was united in thought, and after the kick-off, it still stabilized the scene and maintained the advantage of controlling the ball.


    Chelsea crazily overwhelmed the forced snatch, and every player put into the anti-robbing.


    They knew in their hearts that the probability of reversing Millwall''s miracle was very low, and it was more pragmatic to get a second goal to end the game with a draw.


    Their fight is more aggressive, and in just 3 minutes, two players received a yellow card.


    With the arrival of injury stoppage time, Chelsea players have lost their gaze, and their persecution seems to have lost their sense.


    The Blues are like crazy wild beasts on the field, amazing momentum!


    Aldridge doesn''t believe in evil!


    At this moment, the Millwall player on the field probably has the same idea as him.


    What if you are a beast?


    I am the beast trainer!

 Chapter 1060： The most critical season

    The Chelsea people all know that if they lose 1-2 at home and go to the Lion King Stadium in the next round, even if they actually create a miracle on the road, they will defeat Millwall 1-0, but they still cannot advance!


    Chelsea crowds, who have smashed their eyes, will understand the seriousness of the situation and bite hard to fight, but when time is running out, their overall formation cannot be kept close and consistent.


    When the last minute of injury stoppage time arrived, Schneider displayed a mid-to-long distance pass on the backcourt. The ball flew towards the midfield, Nedved rushed forward, headed for the ball, and the small Ronaldo stopped the ball in the frontcourt. He drew away Essien while accelerating forward. Essien''s up-and-down motion made him lose his center of gravity. That difference in rhythm made Ronaldinho''s breakthrough.


    After the completion of the game, the frontcourt situation suddenly became wider, Ronaldinho simply over the top and a straight plug, Larson, who came off the bench, cut into the penalty area from the right and completely opened Chelsea''s entire defense line!


    However, Larson''s stop was not perfect, and when he had full control of the ball, he had come close to the baseline.


    The veteran has a calm mind and won''t rush.


    Instead, Chelsea''s defenders flocked to grab, Henry, who was outsourcing in the middle, and Ronaldo, who was cut on the other side, were closely followed by Chelsea players, and the Chelsea door was full of people.


    When Terry and Ashley Cole came to snatch, Larson passed the ball to the top of the arc.


    Following up, Ronaldinho hit the ball and hit the ball angrily!


    This ball did not have the effect of blasting the world wave, but after hitting Carvalho''s leg and refracting, it bounced into Chelsea''s goal!


    Cech himself flew in the right direction, but Carvalho stretched his leg, and God couldn''t help him!


    After scoring, Ronaldinho took off his jersey and ran to the corner. All Millwall players rushed over. Aldridge also left the coach and ran away!


    At Stamford Bridge, the host was silent on the fans'' stands, while the visiting fans were slightly agitated in excitement.


    "3:1, Millwall got a very good result on the road, we can understand why Sir Hall will rush to celebrate when Ronaldinho scored the team''s third goal, not just against the enemy. Morale, he also understands that the 3-1 score is enough to kill Chelsea! Unless Chelsea can score at least 3 goals in the Lion King Stadium! Even if the next round, Chelsea beat Millwall at 2:0 away, they Will be eliminated!"


    Millwall celebrated the goal close to the stands of the visiting team fans. After hugging and celebrating with the players, Odric continued to raise his hands and signaled that the crazy lion fans would create some momentum!


    Come again!


    Bigger!


    Tell Stamford Bridge who is the king of London!


    After Chelsea reopened the ball, Millwall defended their attack and the referee blew the whistle at the end of the match.


    The first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals came to an end. Millwall defeated Chelsea 3-1 at Stamford Bridge and stepped into the quarterfinals threshold with one foot.


    After the game, Aldridge and Mourinho still did not shake hands.


    In an interview, Aldrich and Mourinho expressed their "suggestion" on the same issue.


    Mourinho insisted that the referee changed the direction of the game. Kaka should not take a penalty for the ball. It was because of the loss of the ball that Chelsea were at an absolute disadvantage. In themselves, they took the lead in dropping the ball. Not enough to determine the overall trend of the game.


    Aldrich attacked Mourinho''s words and deeds.


    "My player was violated and injured. Even if I watched the video a hundred times, it was definitely a foul and there was no dispute about penalty kicks, but Chelsea''s coach accused my player of falling, which is unreasonable. Millwall will also lose, and will face an unfavorable situation, but when we fail, we will not shirk the blame. When we were eliminated in the League Cup, did we say anything? We lost to Lever in Germany. I was applauding for Leverkusen when I was at Coosen. They performed better than us. Their fighting spirit was stronger than us in that game. Our attitude towards the game is that we must not only work hard to win the game, but also win the respect of our opponents. Obviously, today¡¯s situation is reversed, and we have encountered a lack of respect, so we should express our dissatisfaction!"


    When commenting on this game, Fleet Street vaguely began to draw conclusions about the performance of Chelsea this season, as well as the achievements of this phase of Chelsea construction.


    Barnes wrote in a column comment: Chelsea completed a major blood exchange this season. In fact, such a blood exchange is too frequent for a club. Their main lineup last season was a combination of old and new, but this season, There was another large-scale replacement, and only the signing expenditure was calculated. Chelsea paid more than 300 million pounds. If you include player signing fees, salaries, bonuses and other expenses, Chelsea''s lineup of team construction in two years , Invested nearly 500 million pounds!


    However, Chelsea still cannot shake Mirwall''s dominance, which is not far from the goal of Russian rich Abramovich, yes, not far away!


    The league is 4 points behind Millwall. If it is not against Millwall in the Champions League, Chelsea have the strength to believe that they can go further. If they will complete the overturn in the second leg of the Champions League, then that game will definitely become One of the most shocking games in the Champions League in the last decade, because apart from Chelsea fans, no one believes that they can beat the king Millwall on the road.


    Returning to the topic, it is possible to foresee Chelsea¡¯s future positioning. It is impossible for them to complete a new major exchange in the next season, or two years later. This is against the rules of football club management, because the cost is too high, Abu is rich, but unless he Loss of reason, otherwise burn more than 1 billion pounds in Chelsea in two or three years, he will become the laughing stock of the football circle, if there is the next blood exchange, who can guarantee that Chelsea can turn a step away from the goal into a positive result? This is where the cruelty of competitive sports lies. The runner-up and the champion are only a little bit closer, but that little distance is one on the throne, one, forgotten by the world, and almost not much different from other losers.


    Moreover, if Chelsea continue to exchange blood on a large scale, this will cause great harm to Chelsea''s image. If Chelsea wants to exchange blood, it must inevitably deal with the players in the current formation. Then, what the outside world has become hot becomes a reality: Chelsea It''s Abu''s toy, and even the players are toys.


    They can be tempted by money, or they can be swept away because of their boss'' disappointment.


    So, how many players in the world are willing to go to Chelsea?


    The sensible Chelsea management understands that they have entered a stable construction track, the stability of the player lineup, and the stability of the club''s development direction.


    This is undoubtedly good news for Millwall.


    After suppressing Chelsea this season, they built enough confidence. Before the start of the season, I wrote in the column that the biggest test for Millwall was this season. Once Chelsea overturned the rule, The Premier League in the future will become very chaotic, not as orderly as it used to be, because there is a ruler here: Mad Lion.


    The criticism of Chelsea coach Mourinho is unfair. Indeed, Mourinho is a topical figure. He has caused a lot of controversy, including the elimination of public statements in Barcelona. He made many people unhappy, but set aside After the cloud and fog, you will find that he has become a controversial figure with his personal prominence, and then put all the pressure on his shoulders. Otherwise, Chelsea cannot follow Millwall in the Premier League so steadily.


    If we look back on Sir Hall¡¯s coaching career, we will find that he is similar to Mourinho. In the early days of his coaching, taking the game he coached for the first show as an example, he had a verbal conflict with his opponent¡¯s coach as soon as he appeared. So that he became particularly prominent. In the eleventh year of coaching, Sir Hall would no longer do this, not because he became noble, but because he did not need any voice, he was the focus, all There are countless eyes in the world watching him, or admiring him, or looking forward to his failure and seeing his ugly play.


    This made me feel a little sorry for Mourinho. If he started coaching ten years ago, he and Sir Hall met in the arena. I am afraid that the two young handsomes will not have such a clear gap now. It''s not too long to ignore Mourinho''s true pick-up, nor can he ignore the experience that Sir Hall has accumulated over more than a decade.


    Now Millwall is like Manchester United in the 96/97 season. At that time, Manchester United¡¯s 92 class had just picked up the girders. They had just won the Premier League championship under Cantona. If in the 96/97 season, Manchester United can defend the title successfully, perhaps That would change Millwall¡¯s development trajectory. Manchester United failed to suppress Millwall. Now, it is Millwall¡¯s turn to suppress Chelsea. The final result of this season will have a huge impact on the future Premier League pattern. Chelsea only got An insignificant League Cup, the FA Cup is prematurely out, the Champions League is now at the juncture of life and death, personally believe that Chelsea should set the final goal in the league, the final sprint, at the end of this month, Stamford Bridge will also usher in the league battle .


    The miracle needs to be fought. If Chelsea can stage a miracle of reversal in the league this season, then this miracle will bring them a positive impact for at least 5 years!


    ...


    Already at the end of the season, Barnes''s column was "outdated" in Aldridge''s mind. Before the start of the season, although he told Millwall players not to be disturbed by the outside world, his goal was to surpass himself.


    But his heart is very clear, one of the goals of this season is to suppress Chelsea!


    Because Chelsea has great potential!


    Their lineup strength has not reached its peak, there are many reasons to promote a team to advance rapidly, one of the important points is success!


    Failure is the mother of success?


    It may be right to put it elsewhere. In the football world, there are not many examples of shame and courage, but most teams are stable and strong, and they all come from success, not failure.


    Failure will catalyze the outbreak of many hidden negative factors. On the contrary, success will inject "stimulant" into a team.


    Don''t let Chelsea look up!

 Chapter 1061： Governing others with their own way

    Summer is coming, and the war in the Premier League is also heating up.


    After Chelsea lost to Millwall 1:3 at Stamford Bridge, they were immediately tied by Birmingham in the league away!


    When everyone thought that the suspense of the Premier League might not support the Stamford Bridge Premier League final day at the end of the month, Millwall burst into shock in the same round of the league!


    Manchester City, which has performed exceptionally well in the league this season, has become a giant killer!


    The game against Chelsea is a win and a draw.


    The match against Millwall is a win and a loss is a tie between two confrontations!


    The situation in Manchester City is paradoxical!


    Mourinho lost to Kevin Keegan.


    But Aldridge lost to his former colleague of the England national team, the Pierce who coached England U21!


    Manchester City just experienced a coaching change last month, Keegan and the top management of Manchester City have fallen, and it is also related to the inconsistency between him and the team''s locker room since last season. However, in terms of the stadium record, Manchester City is under Keegan''s leadership this season. The rankings were still in the middle of the Premier League in March, much better than the situation of relegation last season.


    Pierce had just been in office for less than a month and led the team at home to turn over Millwall who sent a large number of substitutes.


    Aldridge has no choice. In addition to the intensive schedule of the Premier League this month, the two rounds of the Champions League are separated by a week. At the same time, after finishing the second round of the quarter-finals of the Champions League, they also have to lead the team to play in the FA Cup semi-finals. The opponent is Manchester United, at the end of the month, before playing Chelsea away, they will play the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals!


    Playing Manchester City away, Chelsea away, there will be three league games.


    Those three league games are the biggest obstacle to test Millwall''s final sprint!


    Devil schedule.


    Liverpool at home, playing Arsenal away, Manchester United at home!


    Fleet Street has speculated that Millwall may have lost points in the Devil schedule, which is the three Premier League games.


    Unexpectedly, Millwall first planted here in Manchester City!


    The 3 points that should have come into hand were turned into 0 points.


    The gap between Millwall and Chelsea in the standings has changed from 4 points to 3 points.


    ...

 ~： In the second round, the battle was rekindled a week after the last game.

    Chelsea are rejuvenating in the league at the cost of a draw with Birmingham. Millwall is also preparing for the following schedule at the cost of defeat. Aldrich¡¯s concern is not only this second round of the game, but also There are semifinals!


    The Chelsea team came to the Lion King Stadium in a tragic atmosphere, the premier devil in Europe!


    Aldridge also started chewing gum to relieve the pressure.


    The intensive schedule, and the devil schedule, he also needs to decompress himself.


    The hustle and bustle of the Lion King Stadium is naturally mad, and the fans of the crazy lion are naturally optimistic. They don¡¯t think so much about the game. It¡¯s good to play one by one. Anyway, in the fan¡¯s perception, Millwall will definitely be able to defeat his opponent. An unexpected result occurs, that is an accident.


    Millwall fans do not welcome Chelsea players, nor Mourinho.


    Aldridge was sitting on the coach seat, Mourinho stood on the sidelines and watched Millwall''s starting lineup. He couldn''t help frowning, and consciously isolated the scolding and boos from the stands behind him.


    "The second leg of the Champions League quarter-final is about to start. Millwall leads Chelsea with a total score of 3-1. The defending champion Millwall sits at home in this game. It should be ten in a semi-final in the semifinals, but seeing Chelsea¡¯s posture today, they Will definitely cause trouble and pressure to Millwall here!"

 ~： In the first round, Millwalls starting list has changed a bit.

    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Neil, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Baines.


    Midfielders: De Rossi, Pedretti, Nedved.


    Forwards: C Ronaldo, Henry, Villa.


    Kaka missed due to injury, Alonso injury was not good, Schneider and Ram continued to rest, Ronaldinho was hidden in the snow.


    Mourinho''s doubts about Millwall''s starting lineup?


    Who will organize the attack in Millwall?


    Nedved?


    It can be, but it lacks more changes.


    After the start of the game, Millwall''s attitude suddenly changed Mourinho''s look.


    Unbelievable, but also a little angry!


    Millwall, **** anti-reverse!


    Moreover, the tactics used are approximately the same as Chelsea!


    The four-backs focus on defense, and the full-backs also reduce the range of assists. The double backs protect the defense line. Nedved can go up and down. Up, it must be counterattack before going up and down. The defense of the battlefield moves back and sweeps in front of the penalty area.


    Modern wingers, Millwall naturally have, and they have more changes.


    Cristiano Ronaldo, Villa, and Henry are able to complete their arbitrary transposition in the frontcourt!


    There haven''t been any ups and downs on the field yet, but Mourinho has been dizzying.


    He couldn''t help looking towards the home team coach, seeing Aldridge sitting there as steady as a mountain, Mourinho was talking and not knowing what to say, and his expression should be very uncomfortable.


    Chelsea want to advance, 1:0, not enough, 2:0, not enough, at least 3:0!


    Also avoid being scored by Millwall!


    Under such circumstances, Millwall played Chelsea''s anti-counter-attack!


    The Chelsea crowd will not have so many ideas on the field, to advance, you need to score!


    However, in positional warfare, to break Millwall''s intensive defense, they lacked a way. Relatively speaking, in the face of Millwall''s defensive quality, their offensive ability in positional warfare was obviously weak, with few means, and the offense lacked novel or Unexpectedly, when there is no offensive space, the closer you are to Millwall''s danger zone, the less you know how to continue the offense.


    In the 23rd minute of the game, Drogba lost to Nesta in the header of the header. The top ball was controlled by Nedved. He made a two-for-one with De Rossi and turned around. Before running, before encountering Essien''s interception, he did not stick the ball and directly passed the ball obliquely to the left front.


    Henry kicked the ball on the left and started to speed up. After a slow and fast rhythm, the ball broke through Ferreira and then passed the Chelsea ball behind the corner of the penalty area.


    Villa missed the middle of the middle but missed Carvalho and Terry, as well as goalkeeper Cech. Cristiano Ronaldo, who followed at the back, easily pushed the ball and started!


    Ronaldo roared and ran to celebrate.


    "Chelsea tried to oppress Millwall on the scene, but their back line exposed the problem. In the face of Millwall''s counterattack, they failed to defend the last line. After Henry took the ball and broke through Ferreira, the situation was It¡¯s very clear, and his assists are not surprising. C Ronaldo outsourged the penalty area and sent the ball into the half-door. Millwall led Chelsea with a total score of 4:1!"


    Mourinho wiped his face on the sidelines.


    This is what he was worried about.


    However, there is no way!


    Chelsea must attack to score.


    Millwall does not give them a chance to fight back, they will fight in position.


    But positional battles are unsuccessful. Will Millwall not fight back?


    Henry, Ronaldo, Villa, who is slow?


    Millwall did not pay much attention to the formation of technical and tactical platoons on the field today.


    Waiting for the opponent to grab when the ball is attacking, revealing that when they are free, they attack, and it doesn''t matter if they can''t play, the overall formation will not press up.


    After Chelsea pressed up and hit the opponent''s back, the open space was counterattacked. It was quite easy.


    Witnessing the team''s first goal drop, Chelsea will be sad and faced with a heavy blow!


    But taking a step back, their game goals have not changed.


    To advance, at least 3 goals must be scored.


    Now, although the total score has been extended by Millwall, the advantage of a ball.


    But as long as they can score 3 goals, at least, both sides have returned to the starting point.


    Therefore, they have not given up completely and are still struggling to attack.


    Aldridge was not worried about the game while sitting on the coach.


    The advantage laid in the first round allowed them to counterattack their opponents patiently and calmly, and the players had no psychological burden. After all, after finishing this game, they would usher in the devil schedule.


    It can even be said that throughout April, all Millwall games were strong dialogues, of course, except for the game that lost to Manchester City.


    In the 41st minute of the first half, Millwall recaptured his old skills. This time Henry dribbled from the middle and advanced all the way to the opponent''s midfielder. Then he passed the ball to Villa Labian. Henry and Cristiano Ronaldo After completing the cross position, Ronaldo came to the middle to become a cover, and Villa sent a straight plug to Henry. Henry completed a low-angle low shot in the penalty area.


    "5:1, the first half of the game is not over, Millwall has expanded the total score to 5:1, yes, no suspense, Chelsea want to score four goals at the Lion King Stadium, and it is in Milwaukee In the case of Seoul¡¯s active contraction of defense, this is harder than the sky!"


    Mourinho had a dull look on the sidelines, his face pale, and he shook his head slightly, knowing that it would not work.


    Not for this game.


    Chelsea''s Champions League tour is over!


    This game, two rounds of knockout, is over!


    However, Chelsea''s season is not over, they are only 3 points behind Millwall in the league standings!


    Although the meaning of this 3 points is more than one win, because Millwall''s goal difference is far more than Chelsea, it is not enough to tie the points, but in theory, there is still a catch!


    Mourinho knows that if the team is not allowed to take it back and give up actively oppressing the offense, then Chelsea will definitely be bloodbathed by the opponent in this game!


    No suspense!


    If another massacre occurs, Chelsea will collapse!


    Looking at Adriatic who seemed to be in a daze, Mourinho gritted his teeth and gestured on the sidelines before the end of the first half, allowing Chelsea to retreat!


    He wanted to see if Chelsea stopped attacking, what choice Millwall would make!


    This is the Lion King Stadium!

 Chapter 1062： Miss a Champions League authentic trophy?

    No matter how great Mourinho''s ability to resist pressure, he was criticized by his nose for utilitarian, negative, and repeatedly attacked him with anti-overconservativeness. Deep down, he must be very unhappy.


    If the opponent who lost to him slammed him like this, he would naturally disdain, and he could fight back in one sentence, leaving the attacker speechless: I won you!


    But he lost to Aldridge and Chelsea lost to Millwall. In addition to finding other reasons to quibble, he can only choose to avoid core issues.


    This criticism is "unreasonable"!


    Indeed, if Aldridge is not the manager of Millwall, or if Millwall and Chelsea are not in a competitive relationship, then he will appreciate the actions of Mourinho led Chelsea, just like he used to be To commend Valencia for his excellent anti-countermeasures.


    After all, football is not rugby. During more than 80% of football time, the situation of both offense and defense is clear. One side is offensive group and the other is defensive group. However, even for rugby, there will be a defensive group who directly intercepts the touchdown after successful interception. The situation appears.


    On the football field, counterattacks will always exist!


    Because no matter how strong the side is, it is impossible not to defend!


    No matter how weak the side is, it is impossible to abandon the offense completely!


    When there is offensive, of course there is defense. When the offensive and defensive change, counterattacks will certainly appear.


    The only difference is whether anti-counterattack is a team''s core offensive tactic.


    After a team determines the core tactics, it is necessary to create an environment for tactics to play, such as Chelsea playing anti-reverse, then stabilize the defense line, take the initiative to retreat, wait for the opponent to attack, and then make a stop.


    Aldridge led the England team to build tactics in this way in the World Cup. Although the anti-anti-repertoire is different, the core concept is the same.


    Mourinho didn''t care about the praises of the outside media, but Aldrich also mocked Chelsea on this issue, making him even think Aldrich is hypocritical and hateful!


    Everyone knows what is going on, but you have to open your eyes and talk nonsense!


    That''s right, it''s to fight the enemy.


    Man, this is always the case, the standard of treating yourself and the enemy cannot be the same, otherwise, it is a saint.


    Aldrich believes that Mourinho is in his position and he will make the same remarks.


    Just as he mocked Tottenham''s bus, did Chelsea really play aggressively against the strong teams?


    There are still 45 minutes of the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, but these 45 minutes have become "garbage time" because the total score between the two sides is too large.


    Mourinho chose to retreat in order to prevent the team from being slaughtered. At the same time, he also held a bad breath in his heart and wanted to see for himself what Odric would do in today''s situation.


    In the first half, the anti-reverse has been sacrificed. In the second half, Chelsea does not take the initiative to attack and maintain a tight defensive formation. Millwall has no counterattack space. How to deal with these 45 minutes?


    Mourinho''s ideas are idealized.


    He ignored one thing.


    He let Chelsea''s overall formation retreat and no longer boldly attacked. This subtext is actually to tell the Chelsea generals: we gave up!


    As a result, Chelsea''s heart was completely vented.


    In the second half, Aldridge did not make the game boring. He saw Chelsea retreat and fight back. In theory, Millwall can advance to the semi-finals without killing his opponent, but the actual situation is that even if Millwall takes the initiative to attack Going out, Chelsea can hardly hurt Millwall anymore.


    After the team breathed out, it was harder for them to improve.


    It''s just that Millwall will make the scene more exciting, but he won''t attack wildly.


    They frequently fired long shots from the periphery and were not afraid of an increase in turnover rate. In short, in the situation on the scene, they pressed Chelsea to attack.


    Mourinho also returned to the coach''s seat. In the 80th minute of the game, he lowered his head and closed his eyes, his face unwilling.


    Aldridge won again!


    Even if Millwall''s truly threatening offensive is second to none in the second half, he has not scored the third goal of the game.


    The score is still 2:0 and the total score is 5:1.


    However, in the scene, Millwall won!


    In the eyes of the outside world, Millwall is still the mad lion who has led the offensive football banner and led the trend of football!


    Chelsea suffered a defeat.


    When the game whistle sounded, Aldridge stood up from the coach seat and extended his hand as he walked toward the player''s passage. He walked and celebrated with his coaching staff colleagues.


    "Defending champion Millwall beat Chelsea in the Champions League quarter-finals two rounds 5:1 and successfully advanced to the Champions League semifinals. Their opponent will be Juventus from Serie A! The first round of the semifinals will be At the end of the month, if you can pass the Juventus level, Millwall will have the opportunity to defend the Champions League again!"


    Mourinho said seriously in an interview after the game: "People are saying that Millwall is a representative of offensive football, they will not treat the game utilitarianly, but I only saw Millwall use their coach to speak The dismissive anti-anti-tactics defeated my team. Chelsea can hold their heads up and leave. We are sincere, unlike some teams that are hypocritical."


    Audric was then conveyed by reporters to Mourinho''s post-match speech in an interview. He looked as usual: "I have said many times, I am not interested in listening to the complaints or excuses of the losers. When others accuse Chelsea, some people emphasized As a result, now the results come out, some people are emphasizing the process again, well, football is not a debate, what is the point of saying this? Millwall won at Stamford Bridge and also won at the Lion King Stadium, that¡¯s all, Goodbye."


    ...


    Mourinho is not a darling of the popular media, but a topical and controversial figure.


    So when he suffered a terrible defeat in the Champions League, the sound of falling into the rock was one after another.


    Aldridge did use anti-reaction, but was praised by Fleet Street!


    I think this is a perfect reflection of the rich tactical concept of the young commander and the flexible use of live combat.


    Chelsea fought back and lost.


    Chelsea lost in a tough battle.


    In turn, Millwall won.


    The difference between the strength of the two teams and the coach''s on-the-spot command ability are high.


    The exit of the Champions League made Chelsea slightly lower in the evaluation of European strength. After all, the outside expectations were somewhat high. It originated from Chelsea''s shocking handwriting and created a sensation of sensation and power.


    On the second day after the Champions League game, Aldridge worked in the office to browse the report of the medical department on the recovery of Kaka and Alonso¡¯s injuries, as well as the physical fitness evaluation report of the main players such as Ronaldinho.


    The Devil''s schedule for the Premier League will kick off on the weekend. They will play 4 Premier League games, 1 Champions League and 1 FA Cup in the second half of the month, one match every three days, an absolute match every three days!


    This has happened in previous years, but the schedule has hardly been arranged as densely as this season. All fronts crashed together. At the same time, the opponents are European giants or former giants!


    The most important point is actually the league competition environment.


    Chelsea are 3 points away from them.


    If the Devil''s schedule breaks, Millwall is likely to be reversed by Chelsea!


    It is necessary to maintain the leader''s advantage before visiting the Stamford Bridge in the league, so as to take the lead when visiting the Stamford Bridge and occupy the strategic commanding heights in the formation.


    Boom!


    The knock on the door rang.


    "Please come in."


    Aldridge put down his report and looked up at the people.


    Carter walked in and smiled at Aldridge: "Did you read today''s newspaper? Ha ha ha, Chelsea seemed to be beaten back to its original shape."


    Aldridge whispered: "It''s so easy. I''m still thinking about how to formulate a strategic plan for the second half of the month to face the league at Stamford Bridge at the end of the month."


    "Haha, that''s your job. I came to you to discuss something serious."


    "Oh? Okay, so I''ll save a good bottle of wine."


    "The wine was given directly to me. I''ve always wondered where the wine is from here. You don''t seem to be a person who wants to go out and search for wine."


    "Well, it was all sent by someone else. Schneider had a winery, and they gave me some good wine every year, and some were sent by Andrew or Barnett. They have more time to delve into this than I do. I just sit back and enjoy it."


    Carter chuckled and sat down with a smile on his face, saying, "I only noticed one thing now, why is there only one authentic UEFA Champions League trophy in the trophy exhibition room in the Lion King Stadium? According to UEFA regulations, Shouldn¡¯t we give us two authentic Champions League trophies? From 2000 to 2002, we won three consecutive championships, and we should be given a genuine championship trophy. Last season, we won the fifth Champions League trophy and won five championships. Give us a real Champions League trophy."


    The authentic and the replica are very different.


    Because the copy is only no more than the size of the genuine 4/5 model.


    Carter didn''t pay much attention to this matter before. He thought that when he toured the club when he took office, there were indeed two Champions League authentic trophy in the Millwall honor trophy exhibition room for tourists to visit at the Lion King Stadium!


    One is the authentic product that Millwall keeps forever.


    The other is the authentic trophy that Millwall brought back after winning the Champions League last season.


    However, before the quarter-finals started, Carter discovered that he had made a common sense mistake.


    Or he ignored it.


    Because Millwall''s second seat, the Champions League trophy brought back after winning the championship last season, represented by him and player Southgate, returned this trophy to UEFA in the handover ceremony.


    The current rule is that the team that wins the Champions League this season can retain the authentic trophy for 10 months. After 10 months, the trophy must be returned to UEFA, and then retain a copy, the size of the replica model is not more than the authentic 4/5.


    After this happened, Carter realized his previous mistakes, so he deliberately turned over the rules of UEFA. He thought that Millwall should have two authentic UEFA Champions League trophy that can be retained forever, but now only one is left. Because he was not in the first quarter-final of the Champions League before, he didn¡¯t come to Aldridge to talk about this matter. He had a good grasp. He had a good grasp of the position, and now it was time to spend, and he was not afraid to disturb Aldridge. Ask.

 Chapter 1063： Make it special!

    In the past, I would drink a little wine with Carter. My friends talked about life trivia, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.


    Talking about business now, Aldridge had restrained the idea of ??having a drink with Carter. However, when Carter talked about this topic, Aldridge couldn''t help but feel a little smug.


    Millwall''s Champions League wins have not yet surpassed AC Milan and Real Madrid, but fortunately, the Champions League trophy has been retained forever.


    This great achievement can only be achieved by five teams.


    The first team, Real Madrid, they keep the old-fashioned Champions League trophy forever, not the current big ear cup. From the appearance, it can be said to be the "small ear cup".


    The other three are AC Milan. With a total of 5 wins, they can retain the Champions League trophy permanently. That was the glory of the Milan dynasty. Ajax and Bayern Munich won the Champions League three consecutive championships in the 1970s. Permanent preservation of the Champions League authentic trophy.


    The last one is Millwall.


    After winning the Champions League in the summer of 02, they permanently retained the authentic Champions League trophy, which is also the record of three consecutive Champions League.


    There are also some reasons why he retired from the club. At that time, the club retained the authentic Champions League, which is a great glory, especially in England. This is the first team in history that can retain the authentic Champions League trophy!


    To talk about these, Aldridge wanted to be serious and not serious, more or less a little floating, remembering the past and the past.


    He still took a bottle of good wine, poured two glasses, handed Carter a glass, touched the glass, took a sip, and chuckled: "No problem, we can only keep a genuine Champions League trophy. In terms of UEFA rules, the UEFA Champions League has won three consecutive championships or won a total of five times. Whichever of these two is achieved, the number of championships will be reset to zero, and then it will have to be recalculated. Therefore, we won three consecutive championships in 2002. Save the UEFA Champions League trophy. In UEFA¡¯s statistics, we want to get the second UEFA Champions League trophy. Then all the number of championship wins and consecutive championships before 02 are erased and restarted. So, last season , We won the Champions League, the fifth Champions League championship in the history of the club, but in the UEFA statistics, we are still two consecutive championships away or four championships away from the next goal-retaining statistics of authenticity. . Uh, I said, can you understand?"


    Carter took a sip of wine, nodded when he heard it, and fell into contemplation.


    Aldridge did not bother him either.


    On the issue of the Champions League authentic trophy, he thought instead.


    I think that UEFA changed the rules after 2009.


    UEFA keeps authentic trophies forever!


    It is probably that the event has been held for a long time, and there are more and more teams winning the championship, but the giants are always the main group of trophy predators, so many teams may be able to permanently use the rules of winning the Champions League 5 times under the accumulation of time. Save the Champions League authentic trophy.


    In this way, the "authentic trophy" of authentic trophy may make the Champions League''s supreme honor status be challenged.


    Therefore, since 2009, UEFA has permanently preserved the authentic trophy. The trophy is only used for the award ceremony. Even the club cannot retain the authentic trophy for a period of time, and can only get a copy of the same size after the award.


    Carter finished his thoughts, he said in a surprise: "I think the club and UEFA have a disagreement."


    "Oh, it''s not like that. The relationship between the club and UEFA is pretty good, especially when I and the president of UEFA, Johansson, occasionally talk on the phone and respect each other."


    Aldridge is not bragging, UEFA President John Song is a Swede, not to mention that because of Millwall¡¯s previous victory, Aldridge will have a meeting with the UEFA President. In 2002, Larsson will withdraw from the national team. The private communication between Aldridge and Johansson is frequent, and the position is the same. I hope to persuade Larson to stay in the national team and serve the country. This matter makes the personal relationship between Aldridge and Johansson pretty good. .


    Although G14 put a lot of pressure on UEFA many years ago, Millwall¡¯s role in the G14 is very calm, and does not belong to the kind of big brother-level figure who "raised the pole". In this position, Millwall and UEFA''s public relations have also remained peaceful.


    Carter frowned and said, "As a result, the issues I want to discuss with you may not be mature."


    Aldridge shrugged and smiled, "It''s okay. Come and listen, I think you have a lot of creative ideas that I don''t have. Oh, who makes me read less books."


    Carter shook his head with a smile, and immediately said: "I thought the club has two authentic Champions League trophy, then, the first, we will exhibit as usual, the second, even the third, the fourth, the future As long as we can keep the authentic Champions League trophy, we will engrave the name of the meritorious player on this trophy! Then continue to take the exhibition, which will make the Champions League authentic trophy will not become monotonous, because if there is only one authentic trophy, then This is very special and supreme, but if we have two or three seats, put them together, it seems that the shock will be reduced, but the name of the legendary Millwall player is engraved on it to make that one authentic. The Champions League trophy has become a story, a sense of history, what is this? This is our heritage, is our source as a propaganda to influence the next generation, the future generations of Millwall players, fans, nurturing the market, promoting the brand, etc. But now, we only have one UEFA Champions League trophy. I don¡¯t think I can discuss this idea, or just leave it in the exhibition room for visitors to enjoy.¡±


    Carter himself was a bit disappointed. He lowered his head and took a sip, then raised his head to look at Aldridge, only to find Aldridge smiling with his eyes shining brightly, and seemed to be a little excited about thinking about something.


    Aldridge suddenly put down the glass and laughed: "Your proposal is good! Think about it, think about it. If you are a player, you can engrave your name on the Champions League authentic trophy, permanently! This may be more exciting than the excitement and encouragement of winning a Champions League!"


    Carter looked at Aldridge, and suddenly felt like a laugh.


    He thinks about business interests.


    Aldrich thinks about the player''s position.


    Although the two people may not have the same idea, they have perfectly complemented each other on the same positive issue.


    Carter couldn''t help crying: "Calm down, we only have one authentic Champions League trophy now! At least one, uh, the original version, one original Champions League trophy, will be displayed at the club."


    Aldrich got up and asked with a smile: "Why? Why keep that, the original one? The original one is not special! When visitors come to appreciate it, they suddenly think, oh, this trophy in Millwall, AC Milan also has One, Bayern Munich, Ajax too! Real Madrid, uh, no, the one from Real Madrid is really special and unique, and it can never appear in another authentic Champions League trophy in other clubs. Since it is not special , Then, we have to make it special, branded by Millwall, not just as simple as the Millwall exhibition."


    Carter will not go mad with Aldridge, he is still thinking rationally.


    It can be said that there are 5 Champions League authentic trophies in the Millwall exhibition. There are now 5 in the world!


    Millwall, Ajax, Bayern Munich, AC Milan, and UEFA have one each!


    Simply speaking, the trophy is almost the same. Even if there are differences, it is definitely a workmanship problem. There is no difference from the outside impression and sensory reading.


    But if Millwall let the authentic Champions League trophy appear on the legendary player''s name.


    Will it make this authentic Champions League trophy even more special?


    Become heavy?


    Is it more helpful for Millwall''s heritage accumulation and future development?


    Carter fantasizes countless pictures, has contrasts, and has his own ideas as a tourist mentality to visit and appreciate.


    In the end, he admitted that his original idea was slightly "conservative".


    He hoped Millwall would retain an original authentic Champions League trophy.


    Engrave the player''s name with the authentic trophy obtained later to reward the player or stimulate the club''s commercial market.


    Think about it carefully, if the player''s name is engraved on the second authentic Champions League trophy.


    Well, the legendary players who have devoted their youth and loyalty to the first authentic Champions League trophy are definitely unfair to them!


    This will cause the dissatisfaction of Millwall fans. The legendary players who have grown with countless fans, because they are old, because they have not waited for the arrival of the second authentic Champions League trophy, they have lost the opportunity to engrave their names on the trophy. The fans will be very, very dissatisfied!


    Judging from Aldridge''s words, he has planned to implement Carter''s proposal to engrave the names of Millwall passers on the authentic UEFA Champions League trophy permanently retained by the club.


    But the problem came again.


    Carter asked doubtfully: "The first UEFA Champions League real trophy was won in the three consecutive seasons of 1999/2000-2001/2002. If we were to engrave the names of the players on the trophy, Nedvi Germany, Larson, the players who stayed in the team must be fine, but what about the main players at the time, Pirlo, Zambrotta, Gattuso, Materazzi?"


    Aldridge''s enthusiasm slipped slightly.


    Hearing this problem, his brow furrowed.


    Somewhat tricky.


    To maximize the highlight of Millwall.


    Therefore, he first affirmed one thing: it is impossible to engrave their names!


    This is not his selfishness, but the club must be selfish!


    Because, if their names are engraved, does the subtext tell other players: It doesn¡¯t matter if they have a great success here, and then leave, they will still be remembered by the club, or their name will appear in the place where the supreme honor is. !


    No way!


    That does not work!


    The club must let the legendary players remembered, remembered, yearned, and talked about in the next 20, 50, or even 100 years must have an important quality: loyalty to the club!


    No matter how loyalty is obtained, as long as it is done, it is a loyal minister!


    Since Aldrich decided not to engrave the names of players such as Pirlo.


    Then, he has to think about how to reduce the negative effects of not doing so.

 Chapter 1064： Sniper

    In the past eleven years, there have been many players who have left Millwall. They have never played an important role in the first team. Even if the top-ranked substitutes are not counted, Millwall is still regarded as the "export" player of European clubs. Large households, there are too many names that are repeatedly mentioned on Fleet Street.


    There is a phenomenon that is common in football.


    If Millwall has had a weak forward line in two consecutive games, and the forward state seems to have declined, then the media will definitely mention some of Millwall¡¯s old ministers in the news, such as Trezeguet, Shevchenko, or Fanny. The same situation will also appear in other positions. When Alonso is not performing well, people will always mention Pirlo. When Kaka is in a depressed state, people will also say that Millwall mistakenly left Lampard, the defender. The full-back, the only calm position, is the goalkeeper, but this position has always been what the outside world thinks that Millwall is inadequate.


    The influence of the media''s public opinion will naturally affect the fans subtlely. Even Millwall fans will occasionally miss the players who have left. Of course, Lampard and Fanny are the players who played in other teams in the Premier League. Belong to their nostalgia.


    Therefore, when Aldrich decided to adopt Carter¡¯s suggestion to engrave the meritorious players and the names of legendary players who pioneered the era of Millwall on the authentic Champions League trophy, there will definitely be many Millwall fans remembering Pirlo, Zambrotta, Gattuso, Materazzi, maybe Makelele will not be mentioned. After all, he left earlier, but it was also a hero of one of the three consecutive championships.


    But the club does not engrave the names of these players on the trophy, it will inevitably cause some dissatisfaction of old fans.


    There are always a lot of people who are nostalgic and miss the good things they once were.


    In order to avoid, or appease the fans, reduce the negative impact of this matter, and do a better thing that should have a huge positive effect, Aldridge and Carter need to come up with a better solution.


    Millwall cannot deny the past heroes.


    Aldridge poured another glass of wine and took a sip slowly, thinking as he drank.


    Carter came up with this proposal, and his thinking naturally turned quickly, so he said: "Uh, is that okay? We also have replicas of the Champions League trophy. For example, the replicas we got in 2000 and 2001 are replicas. What do you think of the player¡¯s name inscribed on the copy?


    Aldrich was thoughtful, and said after a while: "If this is the case, it will be a bit explicit. I mean, people with clear eyes can see that we are deliberately avoiding the fact that the meritorious players leave. However, this method you said , It can be improved."


    Carter stalled: "Do you have any ideas?"


    "In 1998, 2000, 2001, and 2004, these four years, the club won the Champions League, and all the replicas are retained. Then, we can engrave these trophies on the team''s first team lineup of the season. Such a Come, when the players of the season will be remembered by future generations, when visitors visit, we can not only introduce through our exhibition content, but also review the season to know which players played for Millwall in those successful seasons, they can directly When visiting the trophy, you can see Millwall''s first-team lineup on the trophy. After all, fans now visit, remembering it, and maybe you don''t need to see it. Fans who understand Millwall can tell the ball of the season Team lineup, but what about ten years later? Twenty years later? As time goes by, old fans have ambiguous memories, or new fans want to understand Millwall''s history, and the effect of doing so is highlighted."


    Carter nodded his head after thinking for a while, then the two discussed some details, including the time to announce the time, some requirements for engraving the player¡¯s name on the authentic Champions League trophy, and if the club won a second authentic Champions League trophy in the future, the players thought To leave your name on it, what standards need to be met.


    Of course, these standards will have room for flexibility, such as requiring players to make more than 50 appearances for Millwall, so if the players only made 40 appearances, this should be accommodated.


    Another example is to require players to play Millwall for more than 6 years, but if they only play for 5 years, then the standard should also be relaxed, measured according to player contribution and club status.


    When the Devil''s schedule arrived, Carter''s proposal refreshed Aldridge''s mood, as if there was a small charge.


    In his efforts to build Millwall into a global detached football club giant, Aldridge was very happy to have such a partner on the side.


    In mid-April, the first game of the Devil''s Devil''s schedule arrived.


    Lion King Stadium.


    The game has reached 70 minutes in the second half, and the scoreboard score is 1:1.


    A lot of Millwall fans have already appeared nervous in the stands.


    In the same round of games, Chelsea resolved the battle ahead of time and successfully scored 3 points at Old Trafford.


    In the real-time standings, Chelsea only trailed Millwall by 1 point.


    At this time, Millwall and Liverpool were still tied at home.


    "Millwall had a lot of bad luck today. Liverpool''s performance under Benitez has been pretty good this season, but it still can''t shake the dominance of the top four teams in the Champions League seats. At the stage where the sprint is most needed, Liverpool is quite obvious. Subsequent weakness, which is also related to the thickness of their lineup. Today Benitez put out an iron bucket array on the road. It seems that in order to score 1 point at the Lion King Stadium, Millwall opened the attack by Liverpool. Owen With a successful supplementary shot, Millwall goalkeeper Bout''s fault to save the shot again became the focus of the game. This may become a fatal mistake during the season. Millwall did not panic after losing the ball. They played steadily and finally equalized at the beginning of the second half. The score was bad, but they were still unlucky today. Carragher overturned Henry and was awarded a penalty kick. Ronaldinho kicked the penalty kick away. Henry also missed a close header chance. However, his heading ability seems to make people unable to criticize anything. C Ronaldo and Nedved''s long shots hit the crossbar and the goal post respectively, which makes people wonder whether this is Millwall''s home court. !"


    Benitez sat expressionlessly on the visiting team''s coach''s bench, taking out small notebooks from time to time to take notes.


    Aldridge didn¡¯t know all the contents of Benitez¡¯s notebook, even if he hadn¡¯t peeped before working together, but he knew that Benitez would record the player¡¯s mistakes in the notebook, and then even if the game won I will also discuss with the players the reasons for these mistakes, how to improve them, and often make the players crazy...


    Liverpool are also very pragmatic today, to put it bluntly like the Chelsea one.


    It''s the Devil schedule for Millwall and the same for Liverpool.


    Liverpool''s fight for the top four hopes depends on the final sprint.


    Ben¨ªtez was unlucky. He drew with Chelsea in the 90-minute League Cup final and then lost to Mourinho.


    The FA Cup is also out early, but the UEFA Cup has reached the semi-finals. Now Liverpool¡¯s goal is also clearer. Whether the league can compete in the top four depends on the number of league games before the end of the month and cannot catch up with the previous ones. Manchester United, then shift the focus to the UEFA Cup.


    Millwall advanced in the third line. At this critical moment, Audridge also saw through this game. It is difficult to say that it was all luck. Although the penalty scored, it will overtake the score. However, several times in front of the goal Opportunities are wasted. This is a problem for the players to play. Millwall wants to win all the loot in the third line, which is not realistic.


    The pressure in the league itself is still very great, especially in the standings, since the first round of the season has suppressed Chelsea. If this time, it is overtaken by the other party, or if there is a 1 point 2 point overtake, Millwall¡¯s mentality is Earthshaking changes will occur.


    Aldridge walked coldly to the side of the court, his eyes glowing sharply.


    Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea!


    Chelsea is the final battle of the final battle month.


    Before that, the top three traditional Premier League players want to snipe Millwall?


    You guys, don''t think it succeeds!


    "Millwall made a substitution. We saw Villa prepare to play. Maybe he will replace Henry who missed two golden opportunities in this game. But at this time, the pressure on Villa may be unprecedented. !"


    To the narrator''s expectations, Villa played and the player he replaced was not Henry.


    Aldridge did not make a substitution, he removed Tiago Silva, a central defender and replaced a forward!


    Benitez''s complexion changed slightly.


    He is already a master of tactics. However, when the tactical environment he likes and is accustomed to is knowing oneself and the other, that is, studying the opponent thoroughly, and understanding all the changes of the opponent.


    Aldridge''s substitution does not fit Aldridge''s style.


    It is not that he will not withdraw the defender.


    Instead, he rarely withdrew his defender and then increased his strength on the front so obviously.


    Benitez was a bit troubled and didn''t understand the intention of Aldridge''s substitution?


    Is it simply to increase the chance of scoring in the penalty area?


    Aldridge stood on the sidelines with his arms akimbo. He didn''t say a word, he had obvious wild style, not to disdain Liverpool, but to crush Liverpool!


    Of course, he would not reveal the real killing trick so obviously. Before Villa played, the assistant Boas told Aldrich¡¯s instructions after the play, and what was the focus of Millwall¡¯s attack. .


    Now, Millwall is four forwards and three midfielders.


    If you want to be tied by Liverpool, then it is better to fight vigorously for the last 20 minutes. Liverpool has the guts and ambition to score 3 points here, then try it!

 Chapter 1065： Block me?

    After years of fatigue accumulation, Owen''s body became very fragile during the golden age of a player. Not only did the frequency of injuries begin to increase, but even the body''s own quality also tended to decline. In the second half of the game, his explosive power The decline is obvious, which is why Aldridge dared to withdraw a central defender.


    When Millwall accumulates four offensive players on the front line, Liverpool''s back line must inevitably retreat deeper and invest more defensive force.


    However, the Millwall forwards did not directly enter the restricted zone to stand in position. Instead, they walked outside the restricted zone to form a number advantage outside the restricted zone, and then suddenly attacked at a certain point as a threat.


    After Villa played, he transferred the coaching staff''s on-the-spot arrangements to his teammates, especially Henry and Cristiano Ronaldo on the strike line. Ronaldinho Ronaldinho wouldn''t force the strike line. He prefers to play in the area behind the striker.


    When the Liverpool defender line involuntarily pressed out in the 83rd minute, reducing Millwall''s ball control advantage in front of their penalty area, Millwall suddenly made a deep attack.


    Ronaldinho passed directly on the left and behind the defender, Carragher and Hypia originally marked Henry and Villa. Since Henry and Villa did not start forward, they did not start the outbreak immediately, but, after Harman on the waistline failed to withstand Nedved''s forward impact!


    Under the guise of the entire front line, Millwall''s final offensive center of gravity is actually the front waist, and it is an attacking front waist. Such a capability requirement, Nedved is completely fine.


    Benitez''s complexion suddenly changed, looking a little gloomy, disguising his inner worry.


    After Nedved inserted into the penalty area, there were two back guards behind him, and there was a goalkeeper who abandoned the goal in front of him. Instead of stopping the ball or shooting, he headed directly to the ferry and pushed the ball forward to the right. Area!


    The audience''s focus shifted. They saw C Ronaldo diagonally inserted into the penalty area and rushed the ball towards the goal before Lisse. A group of Liverpool people including the goalkeeper chased towards the goal. Some people slid the shovel and the goalkeeper flew Trying to get the ball off the goal line, but it''s too late!


    Cristiano Ronaldo was brought down to the ground when he finished the poke. His eyes kept focusing on the goal until he saw the ball rolling into the goal, he only got up with an excited smile and climbed up from the ground, fingers Nedved, The two hooked each other''s neck and ran frantically to the corner banner area to celebrate!


    "Ronaldinho instigated the offensive! Assisted by Nedved! C Ronaldo broke the goal! Maybe this ball will kill the game, there is not much time left in the game, Liverpool, was reversed!"


    The Lion King Stadium sounded a familiar cheer, deafening!


    While the fans in the stands passionately celebrated the near gaffe frenzy, Aldridge called back the players who warmed up on the sidelines.


    His face was serious, and he gave the players who were ready to replace the game a task.


    The score was reversed and overtaken.


    But the game is not over yet.


    He is going to close.


    Millwall also did not delay the game time, and completed the substitution directly before Liverpool restarted the kick.


    The last two substitutions.


    Henry went down and Larson went up.


    Ronaldinho is down, Glennshire is up.


    In the new offensive and defensive formation, Drosilla went back to play as a defender. Nedved and Alonso acted as double backs. Cristiano Ronaldo and Glenshare were on the winger position. Larson and Villa were in front of the middle. One after the other.


    Benitez is still a gesture of not changing his face and beating, but Liverpool counterattacked under his simple gestures.


    1 point is guaranteed.


    Not the ultimate pursuit.


    Liverpool also completed two substitutions to re-enforce the offense.


    But there is little time left in the game, and their mentality has changed a lot from the previous.


    Glennshire has plenty of physical energy, and Millwall''s offense is focused on his side.


    When the injury stoppage time is coming, the game is really killed!


    Glenn Charles took the ball on the left and drove into the middle of the ball. After completing the second pass with Villa, he sent a straight plug to Larson. The latter calmly pushed the goal and succeeded in the goal. It''s 3:1!


    Perhaps it depends on the results. Many people think that it is not difficult for Millwall to win. However, Audridge and Benitez, the two coaches who shook hands after the game, understand that the game in the game is thrilling.


    Benitez also did not have much depression.


    In fact, when it comes to pure coaching ability, Aldridge can''t say that he absolutely threw a few streets, which is absolutely nonsense.


    Because the comprehensive combat effectiveness of a team requires time to accumulate, build, run in, shape, mature, and sublime, which also includes the player''s personal ability and potential constraints. There are too many uncertainties in it, and then the bench thickness, etc. Wait.


    Millwall won. Aldridge has been running the team for more than ten years. The overall stability and team centripetal force are important foundational factors for their ability to establish themselves in the highly competitive UEFA world with outstanding performance.


    After the first game of the Devil schedule, the gap between Millwall and Chelsea has not changed, and Chelsea is still behind by 3 points to Millwall!


    Three days later, Millwall traveled north to Highbury.


    In view of Arsenal''s three main players leaving last season before this season, the outside world was not optimistic about Arsenal this season. The forwards, midfielders, defenders, and three lines each have a main leave team, which is definitely a weakness for the team. Booming, but Wenger''s excellent ability to cultivate talents has made Arsenal not only not as expected to compete for the fourth league season in the new season, but instead stabilized the top four seats early, as to not be able to compete for the championship, which is understandable Millwall and Chelsea are simply perverted teams. It is too difficult to compete with them.


    The three rookies Wenger has trained are Krishna, Fabregas, and Van Persie.


    Arsenal''s title fight is hopeless, and the Champions League is also out.


    But in their season, there is a goal that can be pursued: the FA Cup!


    Three days after this league, the FA Cup semi-finals will be ushered in.


    The semi-finals are all played in the middle ground.


    Wenger naturally has ambitions for the FA Cup, and the championship trophy is extremely important for inspiring young players.


    So in Highbury''s game, Wenger sent half of the main team and half of the team''s substitutes. They didn''t dare to give up completely, but they didn''t dare to fight with Millwall who needed to grab points to maintain the leader''s advantage!


    Highbury, full of seats.


    Arsenal fans were extremely upset in the stands.


    Wenger sent a half-team substitute, and despite the FA Cup semi-finals three days later, but faced with Millwall who snatched the league title from Arsenal at the last moment of last season, such a lineup, the fans will naturally be very dissatisfied !


    Wenger kept a frowning expression on the sidelines.


    He didn''t understand Aldridge.


    Three days later, everyone has the FA Cup final.


    Although Millwall needed three points, he didn''t even take a rest!


    Is this to give up the rhythm of the FA Cup front?


    For Aldridge, it is impossible to give up absolutely.


    On the football field, tactics such as Tian Ji horse racing do not necessarily work.


    First, Aldridge can''t be sure whether Wenger will stay. Second, if the power is balanced to play the Devil schedule, the players are in good condition, and perhaps all fronts will be triumphant.


    But if the state is not good, but you take the initiative to average the strength yourself, then maybe it will crash across the board!


    There is no shortage of teams in history who have the chance to win the Triple Crown.


    So Millwall did his best in this game. As for the FA Cup semi-finals, he intends to put the bench on, even in the semi-finals, even if he is about to face Manchester United.


    Aldridge has to consider that after the FA Cup semi-final, there are three more fierce battles!


    Play Manchester United in the home league, go to Turin to challenge Juventus, and then go to Stamford Bridge to play Chelsea.


    These three games will be completed in 8 days.


    Therefore, the main force must rest.


    The persistence time of the league is too long, you can¡¯t lose the league!


    Compared to the difficulty of playing Liverpool''s main team at home, Millwall passed through Liverpool to get rid of the negative impact of losing to Manchester City. Arsenal''s mixed lineup of main and substitutes could not resist at home even in the first half. !


    "Winger''s platoon formation in this game will definitely be controversial after the game. Millwall scored three goals in the first half. The game lost suspense. Although there are FA Cup semi-finals three days later, Arsenal''s home court was beaten by Millwall. This is something that the fans of the home team can''t tolerate. This situation is not impossible, but it needs to be divided. If the Arsenal team struggles, they will unfortunately be defeated by Millwall. The accusations from the fans may be much smaller, but now, today¡¯s scenario is more like Arsenal¡¯s highbury, actively surrendering to Millwall! You know, in the latest Arsenal fan survey, there are more than 50 % Of fans say they hate Millwall more than they hate Tottenham!"


    Wenger wanted to catalyze the growth of Fabregas. Today I hope that Fabregas can experience the big scene and control the scene, but the young Fabregas disappeared directly in the midfield and lost to Alonso in the confrontation. The performance at both ends was very sluggish.


    As he walked towards the player''s channel at halftime, Aldridge looked as usual with his hands in his pockets, while Wenger was bitter.


    He feels that either Aldridge is crazy and thinks that he can get a very good result in 7 days of Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United. This is not the beginning of the season. Now that it has come to the end of the season, the team¡¯s physical fitness is almost exhausted. For Millwall, who is fighting in multiple lines, it is also necessary to reach the stage where players need to stick their teeth.


    Wenger knew he was wrong.


    Considering Millwall''s schedule, how can Millwall not take a break?


    However, he thinks that Aldridge will be very greedy. If he wants to play the FA Cup final with the main force, he will send a weaker lineup in the Highbury league.


    Compared with the embarrassment behind the big score, Wenger paid more attention to protecting the confidence of young players. In the second half, he immediately replaced Fabregas and Van Persie and tried their best to defend.


    Aldridge was calm on the surface, but he was very happy.


    Thanks to Wenger, Wenger wants to fight for the FA Cup, the second game of the Devil''s schedule, without the terrifying battles expected by the outside world, the Millwall soldiers won 4:0 without blood blade and returned from Highbury.

 Chapter 1066： Veteran

    Although Wenger suffered a 0:4 defeat at home in the league, from the overall strategy, Wenger''s plan at this stage was successful.


    Even if the league has won all the remaining games, they will not be able to win the championship. Unless they all lose the game and their competitors all win the game, Arsenal will fall from the standings to the fourth place. They have already won the Champions League seats.


    So excluding confrontation, Arsenal''s overall focus has shifted to the FA Cup, and defeated the opponent in the semifinals to advance to the final.


    The match between Millwall and Manchester United will take place a day later.


    The venue is the middle ground, at the home of Middlesbrough: Riverside Stadium.


    Before the arrival of this game, Millwall''s momentum was swift and violent, as Fleet Street promoted: the crazy lion had the opportunity to create the Triple Crown again!


    The league is the leader, both the Champions League and the FA Cup have reached the semifinals.


    If they can win the rest of the game in one go, they will undoubtedly become the Triple Crown.


    Aldridge was not tempted to stun his head. When he came to the Riverside Stadium, Millwall sent a substitute lineup. Among them, Southgate, who had been injured for more than half of the season, made his first appearance in the game as a substitute at the end of the season.


    Ferguson led the Red Devils to the Riverside Stadium. He was quieter than he was at the beginning of the season.


    Manchester United''s new season blood exchange is not particularly successful, at least not as Arsenal looks as strong.


    The state of the league is erratic, the Champions League is also out, and the only remaining championship is the FA Cup.


    The Red Devils'' efforts throughout the season will be concentrated on the FA Cup.


    "The 2004-2005 FA Cup semi-final is about to start. In the semi-final held yesterday, Arsenal won the game and advanced to the final. They are now waiting for the final opponent. Manchester United or Millwall? Wenger after the game Saying not to be afraid of any opponents, but many people think that Wenger lacked confidence when he said these words. Whether it is Millwall or Manchester United, the FA Cup final will definitely be a showdown between the giants. Judging from the fact that Manchester United, who was not optimistic about the outside world, has a card advantage. They sent all the main players who can play, but Millwall put a lot of the main players on the bench. Millwall wants to stay in the Premier League and the Champions League. In less than a month, this season is coming to an end, and May is coming. From an important point of view, the FA Cup is the lowest weight trophy for Millwall. They have tradition and are confident to play with the bench. Compete for the final ticket.


    Manchester United started 4231.


    Goalkeeper: Carol.


    Guards: Gary Neville, Ferdinand, Sylvester, Heinze.


    Midfielders: Joaquin, Keane, Scholes, Rooney, Giggs.


    Forward: Fanny.


    Millwall started 433.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Ramos, Neal, Southgate, Baines.


    Midfielders: Pedretti, Moutinho, Lamore.


    Forwards: Larson, Villa, Glennshire. "


    If other giant coaches send a starting lineup like Millwall in this level of the game, they will definitely be scolded by the fans, but Aldridge does this, no one will criticize it, perhaps because he won Too much, too much, some unbelievable practices that others see, but they were criticized as unpredictable and clever when they finally succeeded.


    Millwall is not unprecedented to use the substitute lineup to turn the enemy in the cup. Once the good play of Arsenal and Manchester United was still vivid, many fanatics are optimistic that they will relive the old dream today.


    Ferguson''s face was sullen and he lost to Aldridge in the league. The Champions League had an intuitive decline after reaching the final three years ago.


    Today, in the FA Cup semi-final, Millwall despised sending off the bench, and standing on an objective stand, he could understand Aldridge''s approach.


    The Premier League has reached an extreme level of contention.


    According to Chelsea''s current points, it is higher than last year''s league leader Arsenal!


    However, Chelsea are still behind Millwall.


    The league cannot be tolerated, and it is not easy to believe. It is wishful to stimulate the team mentally, but it is difficult to reverse the physical fatigue of the team. In addition, Millwall also reached the semi-finals of the Champions League at the same time, and will go to Turin to challenge after a week. Juventus, under such circumstances, Aldridge put up a substitute to let the main rest, reasonable.


    But this "reasonableness" put Ferguson and Manchester United in a very embarrassing situation. It can be said that the game was forced to the edge of the cliff without starting.


    If Manchester United lost to such a Millwall, where is the dignity of Ferguson and the Red Devils?


    It''s almost a reputation.


    Because of this, Ferguson''s face is a bit gloomy, and it is false to say that he is not nervous. If he is eliminated by Millwall''s backup lineup, what other face will he return to Manchester?


    Aldridge didn''t think as much as Ferguson thought. On paper strength, Millwall''s backup lineup is definitely weaker than Manchester United, and the gap is obvious. Especially in the midfield, there is a high probability of being suppressed.


    There is a gap in the lineup. It is inevitable that in any game, there is always a gap between strong and weak. Millwall has half-team world-class players. However, world-class players do not represent iron men. They are required to not only be able to work full time, but also It is unrealistic to achieve world-class standards!


    Standing on the sidelines, Aldridge''s position on the game is very simple.


    If we say anti-anti, it is estimated that Manchester United can surely guess that at least after seeing Millwall''s starting lineup, he is roughly prepared.


    After all, it is too difficult to want to play against Manchester United in the midfield.


    When he used the bench lineup to overturn Manchester United and Arsenal, it was to use anti-anti.


    The applicability of anti-reverse is very wide, and it is also an effective means to use tactics to make up for a certain gap between the weak and strong parties.


    Then, the other party can guess, be prepared, and play this way, it may not be too good, after all, the opponent will guard against you.


    Therefore, Aldridge wants to play against Manchester United on the sidelines today.


    The five basic defenders remain, double guards, double backs, and starter Lamore who actually hits the forwards in the front.


    Moutinho and Lamore are the ones who play the ball in the middle. If they rely on only one person, they will be stared to death and the possibility of being restricted is extremely great.


    Take the sidelines, bilateral forwards, bilateral guards change into forwards, plus the center, this is the five-man group invested in the attack.


    It is basic to defend against the winger, and the full-back is the unexpected back.


    This is also targeted. Ferguson began to retreat Scholes and played a role of grooming the midfielder. On the one hand, Keen''s age increased. On the other hand, Aldridge used Coles has had relatively good results.


    Manchester United¡¯s side attack is traditional. In the past, now, and in the future, the key wings are flying together. Even if the full-back is not assisting, in the midfield, the largest area is still on the side, Millwall wants to attack. Just make use of this.


    When the game was about to start, Ferguson also left his seat and went to the sidelines to start the war.


    Ferguson, who looked stern, knew that this was an unmissable game.


    It doesn''t even matter whether you have advanced to the FA Cup final.


    It is purely athletic meaning.


    If Manchester United''s main defeat to Millwall''s bench may be a fatal blow to the confidence of Manchester United in this period, it will become a nightmare or a demon. If Millwall is encountered in the future, the war may not be the first to counsel.


    At the beginning of the game, the pace of the game was a bit slow in the first five minutes. Both sides are entering the game. Manchester United lost to Chelsea in the last league game, which is also regarded as staying in the game. However, since it was lost, it is another cup today. Determine the outcome, be safe, and be cautious and correct.


    In the rhythm of the game, Millwall was led by the opponent. Aldrich watched for a while and then gestured to let the team take the initiative to accelerate and use the impact of the wing to change the rhythm of the game.


    If you don''t destroy the phenomenon of Manchester United controlling the rhythm of the game, then Millwall may have no chance, because when you react to destroy the rhythm, maybe the score is already behind, and it has accumulated a disadvantage that is difficult to reverse.


    In the 9th minute, Ramos passed the ball to Ramor in the middle in the backcourt. When Scholes came to snatch, Ramor knocked the ball back to Moutinho, who crossed the wing. , Baines crossed the midfield line, and touched the ball with Glenn Charles on the wing.


    Baines did not dare to confront Neville head-on, fearing that he would lose the ball, so he quickly crossed the ball.


    In the middle of the road, Villa jumped high and wanted a header. However, because the ball passed a little high, Villa jumped to the extreme height but only felt the ball flew past his head.


    When Villa regretted it, he heard a bang and someone headed.


    Is it free?


    No, it''s an attack.


    Larson cut into the penalty area and grabbed a header in front of Sylvester.


    Unfortunately, the goal is slightly off the top.


    "Millwall first blew the offensive horn, and Larsson, who was very alert, almost headered!"


    Ferguson looked suddenly tight on the sidelines.


    Millwall is not here to fight back!


    It can''t be said how aggressive Milwall''s offense is. After all, there will be six players in the offense.


    Ferguson feared that if Millwall led the ball, the game would have completely changed.


    In response to this game, Manchester United is actually playing fast, not opening fast, slowing down the pace, is a means of paralyzing the enemy, creating an illusion, and then suddenly force to beat the opponent by surprise.


    Although Aldridge also has a targeted arrangement for the game, but subject to the player''s level, when Manchester United pre-planned to show weakness first and then exert force, Millwall''s defense exposed the problem of young players'' slow response to the sudden and rapid rhythm. Mu Tinho''s protection of the restricted area is not timely enough.


    At the same time, veteran Southgate made a very uncomfortable mistake on the court that made the fans of the crazy lion.

 Chapter 1067： Two games

    Millwall''s threat offensive almost broke the door. The fans in the stands were still lamenting Millwall''s missed opportunity. Unexpectedly, Manchester United were very calm and did not know whether they had been psychologically prepared or had been beaten by Millwall in recent years. Strong anti-stress ability is accustomed to this situation.


    Carol opened the ball quickly, and after returning to assists, Baines slowed down significantly. He ran back to his normal rhythm, and even wanted to see if he could fight back in the midfield.


    Scholes kicked the ball to the right with a precise long pass in the midfield and backcourt position. Rooney ran to the side. After unmanned control, the ball was controlled and the ball was rushed to the penalty area. Pedretti defended frontally. Rooney When the dribble approached the penalty area, the ball was distributed to Hua Jin who caught up from behind.


    Joaquin took the ball inwards and replaced him with Southgate to defend him head-on. The area that was supposed to be defended by Baines was not defended at this time. Southgate could only work hard and do two jobs alone. To seal the inner and outer lines.


    In other words, Hua Jin can''t pass, and he can''t give Hua Jin enough room to pass, so that the opponent can find a suitable pass line.


    When Southgate was about to intercept Joaquin, he put his finger behind the penalty area, hoping to get Moutinho and Pedretti back, Pedretti personally stared at Rooney, and Moutinho was at Manchester United. The reaction was a step slower in the fast attack. Although the number of offenses and defenses in the penalty area was not worse than that of Millwall, it gave the opponent a bit of space. More defensive players must be used to compress the space.


    Joaquin took the ball to the inner line, and Southgate was mainly defensive inside. At the moment when the two met, Huajin suddenly dialed the ball to the outside and then accelerated to get rid of Southgate!


    In the past, this is not a situation that makes Southgate feel embarrassed. Even if the opponent is still in possession of the ball, he is just changing from a frontal defense to a position and pulling back to the side defense. Keeping the opponent enough distance is equal to Blocked the opponent''s large pass space, and then delayed the opponent, waiting for the return of their defensive players or the recovery of restricted areas.


    But this time, when Southgate turned around and wanted to keep up with Joaquin, he obviously thought faster than his body. As a result, his body failed to balance and slipped into the penalty area!


    Hua Jin originally intended to pass directly, but saw Southgate slipped to the ground, and then controlled the ball and turned inward from Southgate into the penalty area, forming a semi-single-shot trend.


    Everyone at Millwall''s back line was shocked by Southgate''s slip. Neal immediately rushed over to stop the shot and prevented Joaquin from finishing the shot. He just moved and was not close to Joaquin. The latter made a cross The ball was sent to the foot of Fanny behind Neal, and he stepped on the line of the small penalty area. Fanny pushed the ball without stopping the ball. At such a close distance, the goalkeeper was unable to return to the sky. The smell and shooting of Fanny¡¯s front door is undoubted.


    "The goal is scored! Manchester United opened the first record! Southgate lost his balance while defending Joaquin and fell to the ground, exposing the huge space in the penalty area. This is his personal error, but it caused the team to lose the ball. As for Fanny¡¯s goal, it¡¯s not Neal¡¯s fault. Neil must go to the defensive position to defend Huajin. Huajin is also very calm in handling this ball. He didn¡¯t greedy forcible shots, but gave Fanny a nanny ball. Fanny almost faced the empty goal in front of the goal, but Bout was defending the near post angle. There was no way. Millwall lost the ball in one sentence. The captain made a mistake."


    At the moment Fanny finished the goal, Southgate had already stood up, his expression blank and dignified, and he did not try to explain anything to his teammates.


    No need!


    He raised his head and walked outside the penalty area without saying a word, but he didn''t feel any lightness in him.


    The game has just begun.


    He cannot be out of balance, nor can he show any confusion in front of his teammates.


    He is the captain!


    Manchester United fans in the stands of the Riverside Stadium are celebrating.


    Millwall fans are silent.


    No one blamed Southgate for the mistake, no one.


    In 4 months, the old captain is 35 years old.


    Aldridge was also expressionless on the sidelines.


    There was no sign of dissatisfaction with Southgate.


    In fact, he only had regrets in his heart.


    The serious injury in the European Cup has had a great impact on Southgate.


    Many good players have experienced a significant decline after a serious injury, and a considerable number of them have been unable to return to their peak state after the decline.


    There may be psychological factors, there are restrictions on the play after serious physical injuries, and many are due to age.


    At a certain age, after a major overhaul, especially during a serious injury, there is a long period of time that requires rest and can''t maintain the state of the body. When the injury recovers and you want to recover, it may not be realistic.


    Southgate has reached the end of his career. The serious injury in the European Cup was not unexpected. He left Millwall''s main lineup and he recovered from the injury two months ago, but until today, he was not allowed to play. , Before returning to the state in the reserve team game.


    It is difficult to say that the reserve team can check the status of 100% of the players.


    Although the reserve team pays attention to confrontation, there is no explosive and skilled opponent like Huajin who will test you.


    Southgate, now 34, has made such mistakes and is related to his experience. Because he knows how to deal with Joaquin''s dribbling to the outside, his consciousness will be driven immediately He turned around to catch up, but the explosive power of his body decreased too much after a serious injury, and then he lost his balance.


    This kind of situation is also common in ordinary people. Sometimes the running is in a disorderly rhythm, and sometimes it will almost fall when stepping on the steps. In the high-speed football game, once the body can not keep up with consciousness, some players will appear self In case of strain, some players may slip like Southgate.


    Not a venue factor.


    Ferguson showed no joy.


    This is the eleventh year that Aldridge coached Millwall, but it is the tenth year that Ferguson and Aldridge have played.


    Ten years of opponents, too much combat experience, Ferguson could not show a half smile at this moment.


    Even, a look of ferocity and brutality appeared in his expression!


    For opponents like Millwall, for the team coached by Aldridge, even if the lineup is a group of reserve players, never underestimate him!


    It is necessary to defeat him when there is a chance! Crush him! Suppress him as much as possible during all game time!


    No, you can''t give him a chance!


    Let him, the miracle maker, not see the dawn of hope!


    Since you want to protect the league and the Champions League, the FA Cup will never give you any chance!


    After restarting the ball, Millwall seemed to be a little counseled.


    Baines was not in the position just now, he was a little afraid to assist in the halftime, Ramos was also afraid that Giggs was making waves in his defensive area, so Millwall spent 10 minutes The defender didn''t overwhelm the halftime assists, Ramor''s execution in the middle was very perfect. The division was a midfielder, partial defense, and the main task was to take the ball.


    As a result, after missing the sideline, Millwall''s attack was a mess. Manchester United stabilized the field and carefully organized the attack. He wanted to infiltrate the attack into Millwall''s dangerous zone and made a few beautiful threats. offensive.


    Aldridge got angry on the sidelines!


    His finger Ramos let him assist, and at the same time, Southgate also issued an order to Baines not far away: attack!


    As for the replacement of the danger zone, it was handed over to Pedretti. Moutinho''s reading ability still needs to be improved. Then, let his task be simpler and sweep away with Ramall before the penalty area.


    No one on the court knows Aldridge better than Southgate.


    Others can say that Aldridge is cunning, but Southgate thinks it is wise.


    Today, it is not impossible to lose to Manchester United.


    If he absolutely doesn''t want to lose to Manchester United, Aldridge simply dies. At this point, he can not!


    Or, take the main lineup and fight with each other!


    Gamble on luck and see if Millwall wins the triple crown at the end of the season, or all four are empty, or get 1 or 2 championships.


    However, now that he has been on the bench, at the same time, three days later, he has to play Manchester United at home.


    At the preparatory meeting, Millwall asked both wings to attack together, even if it was a tug of war with Manchester United.


    In short, you must attack!


    So, Southgate knew very well Audridge''s tactical purpose.


    First, attack, maybe you can win!


    Secondly, if you don¡¯t win, then you must speed up the pace and play a threat offensive, so that the entire Manchester United formation will continue to move long distances in the game. This is consumption!


    Set the stage for the league in three days!


    This is not a simple FA Cup semi-final. It is necessary to link this game with the next league and prepare together, because the opponents are the same, all are Manchester United!


    But before the game, Aldridge will not honestly tell the bench players these words, he will only say a firm attack, is to win the game!


    If you don¡¯t invest in two full-backs and boldly insert assists, or if you want to create a threat through the insertion of midfielders, this is unrealistic. The full-backs are not up, there are few offense points, and the probability of being restricted to death is very high. The players in the middle, Ramall and Moutinho, obviously can''t take half the advantage in front of Vieira and Scholes, so they can''t play the offensive depth and achieve the strategic purpose of consuming the opponent.


    After Millwall fired in Aldridge, the two full-backs boldly assisted. At the beginning, Manchester United wanted to hit Millwall''s defense from the side, but Neil blocked two high-altitude passes. Pedretti blocked a penetrating pass from Scholes. Manchester United are not used to Millwall''s defensive adjustment for the time being and need to readjust the offensive thinking after observation.


    And Millwall took this opportunity to insert a bold assist on the full-back to insert the penalty area to form a threatening change to equalize the score!

 Chapter 1068： refuses to die?

    After Millwall lost the ball, it is clear that Manchester United¡¯s offensive is more threatening, their overall lineup strength is stronger, there is no doubt that Milwall¡¯s fighting intentions are not absolutely superior, and the bottom can suppress the Millwall midfielder. Midway is no problem.


    However, on the football field, it is not the dominant team that will definitely score goals and win.


    Millwall gave up the midfield and quickly pushed the attack to the frontcourt through two wings when playing the fast attack. This is to avoid Manchester United''s stronger midfield compared to today.


    Manchester United is not perfect, especially the back line, there is a feeling of first-class second-class.


    Neville and Ferdinand are naturally strong defenders, while Sylvester and Heinze are often time bombs on the back line.


    In terms of the distribution of strength against the Manchester United defender, Millwall has also made careful preparations.


    Grenchar is not entangled with Neville on the sidelines. He mainly takes the inward route to contain it, tearing the defense of this area of ??the other party, and bringing threats of pressure and deterrence, but this is actually a false move.


    Because of the in-line route, you will fall into the situation of at least three breadfolds, Neville, Ferdinand, and Keane''s retreat.


    In fact, the most important offensive point on this side was Baines. After assisting him, Aldridge was instructed to refrain from confronting Neville head-on.


    On the other side, Larson cut into the penalty area to form an intuitive score point threat. At the same time, there was Ramos as an unexpected move.


    Millwall is on the bench, so it is impossible to make the team''s offensive routines so complicated. Their philosophy is to simply breed rich, but in the case of simplicity is not yet proficient, "rich" can not be discussed.


    So today, the two wings of the crazy lion are flying together.


    In the 29th minute of the game, Baines made a cross in front of Manchester United''s penalty area and the ball hung directly behind the goal.


    Ferdinand stared at Villa, Larson''s inner move naturally attracted Sylvester''s vigilance, and Heinze followed behind Larson, ignoring himself and rushing up not far away. Ramos!


    Baines''s pass began to fall in front of the door, Larson rushed to the top, while jumping up was actually suppressing Sylvester and Heinze, there is a physical confrontation to interfere with their clearance.


    The ball was swiped from above the heads of the three people. Heinze hadn''t landed, and he felt someone behind him. Ramos nodded the ball to attack the goal!


    The ball was quickly blocked by Carol who moved quickly to the near post, but without holding the ball, the ball bounced inside the penalty area. At this moment, Villa, who got rid of Ferdinand, made a supplementary shot in front of the goal and sent the ball into the goal. in!


    "Millwall equalized the score! The credit was made by Villa! This allowed him to score 30 goals in all competitions this season! In the early part of this season, when Henry was injured, Villa withstood public opinion. The pressure has conquered the fans with excellent performance. Although he can''t be compared with Henry''s performances in the past few seasons, we have reason to believe that his future will be brighter!"


    Villa waved his fist fiercely and used this goal to stimulate the morale of the team.


    His best condition was in the first half of the season, and there were obvious ups and downs in the second half, but this does not matter. He needs to adapt, adjust, accumulate experience, and learn how to deal with more difficult situations, which helps him Growth.


    Aldridge looked a lot better.


    Ferguson rebuked the disciples in the field.


    The goal scored by Millwall, in a strategic sense, can almost declare Audridge''s goal for this game: to consume Manchester United.


    In the first thirty minutes, a 1:1 draw.


    This is better than 0:0, because Manchester United has lost the ball, they will be more vigilant and nervous, not only to increase the offensive force on the offensive end, but also to allow no carelessness on the defensive end.


    After the first 30 minutes of mutual understanding, Manchester United quickly made self-adjustments on both ends of the offense and defense.


    Ramor¡¯s not excessive forwards made Keane completely hand over the defense of the lower back area to Scholes. He began to make up the restricted area, compressing Larsen¡¯s inner space, allowing Heinze and Silves Special will not be pressured to cause them to collapse.


    On the offensive side, although Manchester United''s two-wing attack can wreak havoc on the periphery, it cannot form a better scoring opportunity in front of the goal.


    They began to try to penetrate Millwall with infiltration on the offense.


    At the beginning, they played like this, but the effect was not very good, but now, Pedretti is deeper. Moutinho and Lamore in front of the defender line, although they are there, they are also defensive and defensive quality. But I dare not compliment.


    In the 41st minute of the game, Glenn Carre''s frontcourt dribbled inwardly and was backed by Rooney who pierced the ball from the back. The ambition was ambitious, and Lu Xiaopang, who was aspiring, worked hard in this game!


    Manchester United also took advantage of this opportunity to quickly launch a fast break. Keane took the ball forward in the backcourt. Scholes, who had already run forward, had reached the centerline position when receiving the ball. He took the ball forward quickly and in the front waistline. Played a simple and effective cooperation.


    First made a two-on-one match with Giggs, passed Ramor, and then used Moutinho''s upper grab to break the ball to break through. Before the penalty area, Fanny ran out of depth to suppress Neal, Joaquin cuts out Southgate again, and Pedretti waits to make up the seat. Before daring to rush out of the penalty area, Scholes took a long shot!


    No one interfered with his shot. The ball flew straight from the middle of Pedretti and Southgate to the top right corner of the goal. Like a cannonball, Bout could only watch the ball and sigh.


    "Manchester United are leading again! Scholes slammed into a beautiful long shot. Millwall''s defense in front of the penalty area revealed no small problems. Ramall and Moutinho failed to stop Scholes. The player easily shook the angle and cast a long shot. Millwall''s situation became worse, now the goal was lost, and the first half of the 5 minutes was over. Manchester United took the lead into the locker room, then, in the second half Will become very difficult to beat."


    Ferguson jumped up excitedly, Manchester United can lead, and has a lot to do with the lead time.


    Ending the first half with a lead before halftime is definitely better than a draw in the second half.


    Because he couldn¡¯t predict whether Aldridge would change his overall tactics at halftime, what if Millwall is dead in the first half?


    Aldridge was helpless and unmoved.


    Can''t blame Ramall. After all, he has always been an offensive player, and he has really limited ability to defend.


    It is also impossible to blame Moutinho, 18, after all, his positioning is not a defensive midfielder.


    He wants to really guard the experienced Scholes, then he is definitely more talented and famous than Fabregas.


    The first half of the game was about to end, Manchester United slowed down the pace of the game, began to control the main, to avoid regenerating waves before the end of the first half.


    At the end of the 45-minute game, Millwall trailed to Manchester United 1-2.


    Aldridge inspires morale in the locker room.


    There is only one way to attack him now.


    As soon as the second half came up, Millwall changed his style of play again. Ramos reduced his assists and responded in the midfield and backcourt, focusing on defense. Then Ramall was given more responsibility in the attack, not the front. But like Scholes, you can attack and retreat and can defend.


    In the 58th minute, Ramall was blocked by Ferdinand with a long shot in the periphery. Manchester United launched a fast break again. The pace of the game has not dropped since the second half.


    This time Giggs played an incomparable role in the offense. He dribble the ball all the way on the left. After Ramos passed the inscribed line, the ball was returned to the top of the penalty area. Rooney wanted to shoot. However, they formed a pair of feet with Pedretti. The ball turned into the penalty area. The smart Fanny pounced the ball towards the far corner of the goal. The ball rolled slowly over and finally hit the post into the goal.


    "3:1, 3:1, Manchester United expanded their lead in the second half! Millwall seemed unable to withstand their offense, and Fanni, who had the best chance in the penalty area, sent the ball into the goal with a sharp sense of smell!"


    Riverside Stadium has become a sea of ??Red Devils fans.


    It seems that for many years they have not been able to celebrate so happily in the game against Millwall!


    Ferguson also relaxed slightly.


    But at this time, Aldridge''s eyes were sharp, and he was determined to die. He ordered the team to press crazy and simply played the ancient tactic: Long pass!


    Of course, Millwall will play a long pass. It is not the rough and ugly game, but the stable ball control in the midfield and backcourt. Pass, send the ball directly to the penalty area, you can achieve success, can''t succeed, the whole army retreats.


    Simple, rude, and effective, I don¡¯t know until I try it.


    When Millwall played in this way, the Manchester United team was a little stunned.


    By the way, where is this **** like Millwall?


    This is simply a team that has encountered a Premier League!


    In the 73rd minute, Moutinho''s midfielder made a long straight line to hang the ball into the penalty area.


    Larsson jumped in front of Sylvester and turned his head back to the goal but rubbed the ball, pushing the ball towards the goal!


    What a Swedish demon!


    After his top, Manchester United''s defensive players were completely unexpected if they were struck by the blue sky.


    When they recovered, the ball bounced lightly on the post and bounced back. Since the ball was rubbed by the header and could not exert force, the rebounded ball was not fast.


    The Manchester United players didn''t keep up, thinking that the goalkeeper could certainly control the ball, but Carol was also ignorant. Of course he didn''t expect Larsson to head the ball after rubbing the ball!


    When Carol rushed out, the faster Glenchart got a one-on-one chance. When Carol rushed to expand the defensive area, Glenchard gently pushed the ball with his arch, the ball from Carol rolled under his arm, rubbing the inside of the post and rolling into Manchester United''s goal.


    The Manchester United crowd will be protesting, indicating that Glenshire is offside.


    However, the referee did not raise the flag, and the game playback was also clearly displayed. Glencharr rushed up to prepare for a supplementary shot at the moment when Larson headered the goal, but most Manchester United players just turned their heads in surprise. They do the next follow-up action, so they are slow.


    "Millwall pulled one back! 2:3, the momentum of the Manchester United fans in the stands suddenly weakened a lot. They looked a bit worried. Even if their team was leading, Millwall was simply an undead monster, even if it was Today''s paper strength is significantly weaker than Manchester United''s lineup, which also makes Manchester United fans feel cold on the back of the needle."

 Chapter 1069： Subtle situation reversal

    After the team lost the second ball, the score became 3:2, Manchester United was only one goal ahead of Millwall, and the game time was almost 20 minutes in stoppage time, Ferguson was more than scalp numb.


    It''s almost head blown up!


    If, if Millwall scored the third goal and equalized the score, then Manchester United would again, once again become Millwall¡¯s dead soul, and Ferguson, he could even predict if the game To achieve a major reversal, Millwall''s momentum will be unprecedentedly high. Maybe Manchester United and himself will become the stepping stone for Aldridge to lead Millwall to win the Triple Crown!


    Morale is so important!


    Millwall¡¯s main players are rejuvenating and accumulating energy. This factor is very likely to allow them to ensure the league championship!


    The Champions League, semifinals, Millwall, Juventus, AC Milan, Eindhoven, Millwall are the top favorites to win the championship!


    If the FA Cup passes the Manchester United level, playing Arsenal in the final, Ferguson believes that Millwall will be ten in a row!


    Although Arsenal''s league rankings are temporarily higher than Manchester United this season, Arsenal''s weak performance in key battles has many reasons, including that they start to soften from hard!


    At this time, Ferguson knew what he had to do to make the situation and rhythm on the field change at the same time.


    Otherwise, let Millwall fight like this, simple and rude and seem to have a certain amount of luck, Manchester United may indeed be overturning the gutter!


    This **** is not the main lineup of Millwall!


    Ferguson waved his hands, let the players attack, and crazy attack!


    Can''t step back, take a step back, it will definitely die!


    Now it''s time for the brave to meet on a narrow road!


    After Glencorre scored a goal, he ran into the goal and hugged the ball in his arms and ran towards the backcourt. The teammates withdrew together at halftime, waiting for a kick-off.


    After Manchester United kicked off and kicked off the attack, Aldridge saw Manchester United''s posture on the sidelines.


    At least, the goal of consuming Manchester United in this game is absolutely over-fulfilled. At this point in time, Manchester United did not dare to stabilize the rhythm and play steadily. I am afraid that if the attack cannot be scored, Millwall will equalize the score. Now, Manchester United needs It is a goal to re-expand the lead.


    Aldridge began to think about it. When Manchester United''s army is madly attacking, can he "steal" Manchester United a ball?


    If it is really successful, then, in terms of psychological pressure, Manchester United''s situation will be very bad.


    How to "steal"?


    Quite simply, Henry and Ronaldo are sent, and a Nesta is sent on the back line.


    Strengthen the defense, provide fresh blood in the offense, speed shock to defeat Manchester United.


    Do whatever you want, he let the main players on the bench warm up.


    But Henry didn''t run two steps when they got up, and the situation on the field was abrupt.


    Manchester United didn''t make a wave of offense. After encountering Millwall''s fast break, they immediately retreated. Except for Fanny, everyone ran back to the half to defend.


    This time Millwall''s rushing tactic was unsuccessful, because Baines passed the ball to the frontcourt and was saved by Ferdinand''s header.


    After the siege, the ball fell at Scholes'' feet, Ramall and Villa rushed back and forth, Scholes also launched a long pass, the ball directly kicked towards Millwall''s half.


    At that point, only Fanny was alone.


    He was entangled with Southgate''s body, and both had small movements on their hands. When the ball fell, Southgate had to take a header to clear the ball, but his jersey was grabbed by Fanny and failed to jump, but instead changed. As a result, the ball bounced on his head, and then bounced behind him. At this time, Fanny rushed forward and drove the ball forward, single-handedly!


    After two steps, Southgate was thrown away by Fanny. 29-year-old Fanny and 34-year-old Southgate fought for speed. Southgate was defeated, especially after Southgate''s header. Stabilize the body balance, and Fanny is directly erupting forward.


    Fannie, who went to the meeting alone, was very calm. After Bout attacked, he flicked the ball horizontally to open the angle and then kicked the ball into the empty goal.


    At the Riverside Stadium, Manchester United fans were determined, and Ferguson glanced at Aldridge with a smile on his face.


    "Vanistrui staged a hat-trick! 4:2, 1 minute after Millwall had just narrowed the score gap, Manchester United struck back Millwall with a goal and they re-established a two-ball lead! This lost The ball should be beyond the expectations of Sir Hall, because now he is seen to let the warm-up players return to the bench. Maybe he had originally planned to change the game situation through substitutions. Now it seems that Manchester United is on the rise, Millwall It¡¯s too hard to equalize."


    The plan can''t keep up with changes fast.


    Aldridge didn''t feel so sorry, that was the game.


    Moreover, he did not expect Southgate¡¯s comeback after a serious injury recovery. The state of the high-level confrontation is so poor. Fanny¡¯s small action was not seen by the referee, but the defender defended the forward, the forward and the defender. Tangled, who the **** didn''t do anything? This is a normal thing. No team is absolutely clean when defending. If Fannie fights for the top and Southgate harasses, he will definitely have hidden collisions or other small disturbances.


    But Fanny didn''t take off because he knew he was useless.


    It is impossible to stop the ball in the chest, and there are no teammates around, even if it jumps and hits the ball. For whom? Simply interfere with the opponent to find opportunities.


    One goal behind, the remaining time changes the tactics and fights, as long as the score can be equalized, the balance of the victory in this game will begin to lean towards Millwall, but Millwall played a table tennis with Manchester United, within 2 minutes, two The team scored one goal each, and the gap became two goals.


    The main players went to warm up without even running, and the situation changed. Aldridge had nothing to say, withdrew the main force of the warm-up and continued to let the bench fight on the court.


    At this time, the morale of Manchester United rose instantaneously, which not only stabilized the mind, but also looked like a wolf, and wanted to beat Millwall in the rest of the time.


    Millwall, because it was difficult to pull back one, turned into a useless effort, the team''s spirit will naturally decline, Aldridge avoids the team''s defeat and affects the morale of the team, immediately ordered the team''s overall formation to retreat , To resist Manchester United''s offensive.


    He sat back on the coach''s seat and knew at this time that there would be no miracle in the game.


    In the last 5 minutes, Manchester United retired with Ming Jin. They were able to beat Millwall, who came off the bench in shock and danger, and successfully advanced to the FA Cup final, meeting with Arsenal Cardiff Millennium Stadium.


    "The second semi-final of the FA Cup ended. Manchester United defeated Millwall 4:2. They will compete with Arsenal for the championship of the FA Cup this season. Millwall unfortunately fell to the final gate. Before, they need to adjust their morale, because after three days, they will meet the challenge of Manchester United at the Lion King Stadium!"


    After the game, Ferguson and Audridge came together and the two shook hands.


    Ferguson stared at Aldridge''s eyes and asked, "Why not fight it?"


    What he said was clear.


    If Millwall played with Manchester United, Manchester United may not be able to advance to the final. This is not Ferguson''s weakness, it is his self-knowledge.


    Aldrich looked up at the sky, withdrew his eyes, and said lightly: "Today, it is a semi-final of the FA Cup, but three days later, it is a game that can determine the league championship. That game should not be lost. Remember the November of nine years ago? Manchester United¡¯s dark November, if at that time, you can snipe my Millwall, maybe the last nine years of Premier League history, UEFA history, will be rewritten. For Millwall This April, the pattern of the Premier League will be laid in the next five years."


    After all, Aldridge patted Ferguson''s arm and smiled: "Congratulations to your team for reaching the final. See you in three days."


    He turned away.


    Ferguson looked at his back thoughtfully.


    Nine years ago, when Millwall won the Premier League''s first championship season, if Manchester United could snipe Millwall when Millwall''s state began to break out, then the pattern of the Premier League might change in the future.


    Now, it is Millwall''s turn to suppress Chelsea!


    The league after three days will be the penultimate round of the league.


    If Millwall wins Manchester United, even Chelsea have won Arsenal at the same time.


    The gap between the two teams is still 3 points.


    And Millwall has more goal difference than Chelsea, even if they lost to Chelsea in the penultimate round of the league at the end of April, the two teams have the same points, and in the last two rounds, Millwall''s opponents are the middle and lower reaches. Team, as long as they all score 6 points, they will be able to defend their title successfully!


    When there are four rounds left in the league, the Premier League is in the final stage, with the top two players in the list, and two teams in East and West London who have a close relationship with each other to compete.


    Fleet Street summarized an interesting phenomenon based on the recent performances of the Premier League powerhouses.


    In fact, for Millwall and Chelsea, there are devil schedules in April.


    And they behaved similarly.


    The reason why Millwall is more stressed is that in addition to the FA Cup and the Champions League, Chelsea is focused on the league.


    Before the Devil''s schedule started, Chelsea lost points in Birmingham and Millwall suffered a terrible defeat in Manchester City.


    After the Devil''s schedule started, in order to prepare for the FA Cup, Arsenal counseled, Millwall scored three points.


    In order to prepare for the FA, Manchester United also counseled Chelsea to take all three points.


    After the FA Cup was over, both Manchester United and Arsenal got the results they wanted because of their shift of focus.


    So in the penultimate round of the league, Chelsea will face Arsenal at home and Millwall will also face Manchester United at home.


    The situation is subtly reversed again!


    Arsenal and Manchester United, the season is actually only the last game left, that is the FA Cup final!


    The FA Cup final is still far away, waiting three weeks.


    Therefore, the two teams do not need to keep anything, no need to recuperate for the next league.


    Arsenal and Manchester United sent their full lineup to the home of two blue teams in London to see who can **** the champion!

 Chapter 1070： Retired!

    In April, England was full of war, the Premier League, the FA Cup, and the Premier League overlord Millwall is the only player in the Champions League to participate in the Champions League. It is a good show, especially, the suspense of the Premier League has always existed. Chelsea''s pursuit of Millwall has always been the focus of constant publicity on Fleet Street.


    In the penultimate round of the league, just two days after the FA Cup semi-final, Millwall is going to meet the challenge of Manchester United at home. When attending the pre-match press conference for an interview, a reporter asked Aldridge such a question .


    "Millwall played the FA Cup in the middle of the week, but on the weekend, your league game was played at the earliest. On the contrary, Chelsea after a week of rest is the latest to start. You think the FA''s schedule is fair. ?"


    The atmosphere at the press conference became subtle, and many reporters laughed and said nothing.


    The "Guardian" reporter asked this question, it seems to help Millwall to speak, standing in Millwall''s position, but in fact it is a hidden killer, and wants to lead the topic to the place where Premier League fans are most concerned today.


    Mourinho has shown the limelight, even if Chelsea has been second in the league, but when Chelsea cannot win the game, Mourinho will have many reasons to divert attention from the outside world.


    Let people not discuss "Why didn''t Chelsea win the game?"


    Instead, discuss the remarks made by Mourinho.


    Among them, Mourinho believes that the FA has given Chelsea a very unfair schedule. For example, what opponents have rested for a day and Chelsea have a rest for a day.


    This is nonsense.


    However, this trick has been unsuccessful, because Mourinho secretly changed the concept and placed Chelsea in the role of the weak. The power is naturally the FA. The outside world likes to see such a story of "raising the pole" attacking the power. , And chase the protagonist of the vulnerable.


    Aldridge cleared his throat and coughed twice, and said lightly: "If there is no schedule for a week''s doubles, the Premier League game is very regular. There is a game on Saturday, Sunday and Monday night, mostly on Saturday and Sunday. If the FA wants to allow each team to get the fair rest time in your mouth, then the schedule should be like this, Millwall will always play on Saturday or Sunday, or Monday, our game will always be Fixed on a certain day of the week, is this possible? Impossible! Because the schedule will definitely crash, such as Millwall fixed on Saturday, but our opponent is fixed on Sunday, so, how do we race? There must be a The team rests one more day, or one day less, or even two days. This topic is really boring. I think people who attack the unfair schedule are just covering up. In other words, if you will always take one day less than your opponent, then , Your league should end one and a half months ahead of time, but no, we all finish the schedule of all leagues in May, the fact is that sometimes you will take one or two days less rest than your opponent, sometimes you will have more than your opponent Take a day and two days off, if everyone complains for this reason, huh, why do you still play football? Everyone holds the calendar and schedule to debate."


    The reporters were happy.


    Aldridge has nothing to say about it, and he doesn''t care about leading the battle. He naturally understands that this question was actually directed against Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho.


    If he avoids it, he appears to be weak. Besides, what can he be afraid of?


    Even though he has a good relationship with the FA, Aldridge has never complained about the FA¡¯s schedule and has never received any convenience. Just like this season, when the FA arranged the schedule at the beginning of the season, he must have thought about it. Make it difficult to defend Millwall.


    If Millwall easily wins the championship, it is naturally unfavorable for the global promotion of the Premier League brand, so there will be a wave of devil schedules at the closing stage to increase the stimulus. Similarly, Chelsea also have, although one less than Millwall Strong dialogue, but Aldridge still has no complaints.


    The Guardian reporter continued to ask: "But there are indeed coaches in the Premier League who criticize the schedule. What do you think of this phenomenon?"


    Not only Mourinho will attack the schedule, Wenger will also.


    Aldrich replied, "I don''t care much about other people''s opinions, but personally, the head coach needs to protect the team, but overprotection of the team is sometimes unfavorable, sometimes in the face of failure, You have to make the players aware of the root problem, not how others are obstructing you and increasing the difficulty of external forces. The fact is that if you can be stronger, you should overcome these difficulties. I have coached for more than ten years in the past. In the process, I always hope that the players will face the difficulties, understand the reality, withstand the pressure, and then overcome everything. This is my philosophy and the football philosophy that Millwall should adhere to and carry forward. We have many excellent players, It was growing up in this environment and letting his name spread across the football field."


    The reporters got the new news material, and they no longer continue to put pressure on Aldridge, I hope he can give more.


    Tomorrow is a league, the topic should return to the theme.


    Regarding whether the FA Cup defeat to Manchester United will have an impact on tomorrow''s league, Aldridge said seriously: "I am quite satisfied with Millwall''s performance of the FA Cup this season. The players tried their best and I also saw The steady growth of some young players, including emerging newcomers like Moutinho, Messi, Verroso, Ramos, their performance in the first few rounds of the League Cup and the FA Cup deserves praise, they are steadily Growing, they represent the future of Millwall. As for the loss to Manchester United, the impact will definitely be there, Millwall will not ignore the defeat, and others will take it from us, we will naturally get back, very good, the opportunity is in us Right now, we will welcome Manchester United¡¯s visit tomorrow at Lion King Stadium."


    ...


    The following day, East London was sunny in the afternoon and the Lion King Stadium was full.


    The crazy lion fans sighed in the stands.


    Manchester United seems to be here with a relatively relaxed mindset.


    They got tickets for the FA Cup final. In the last four games of the league, as long as they are not all losers, winning the next two games will ensure the qualification of the Champions League. The final goal of the season is the FA Cup.


    Come here today, maybe you can snipe Millwall, not to mention Chelsea, just **** watching Millwall uncomfortable!


    Aldridge and Ferguson met again on the sidelines in a short period of time. The two didn''t make any exchanges. They simply shook hands and returned to the coach seat to wait for the game to begin.


    Manchester United''s starter today is no different from the FA Cup starter, Millwall changed all but the goalkeeper.


    Before the game started, the live camera locked Southgate, who was sitting on the bench and looked lonely.


    For Southgate, his career has been sentenced to "death" by Fleet Street.


    His poor performance in the FA Cup semi-finals made him the target of criticism from some of the best outside critics.


    Some rigorous newspapers are more objective and full of warmth. They sympathize with Southgate and rationally analyze his future.


    Obviously, Southgate is no longer worthy of Millwall''s starter. At the same time, for the construction of the future, Millwall''s backup may not need a 35-year-old veteran next season, although he can Bringing some experience, but he is a bit unstable on the field, how can he intuitively contribute to the team?


    Considering that he was the captain of England¡¯s World Cup win and was seriously injured because of England¡¯s European Cup expedition, which prevented the newspaper from making a negative article on Southgate¡¯s poor performance, more mentioning his contribution And the positive significance that exists in Millwall.


    Lion fans who watched the game through live TV, couldn¡¯t help but look sad when they saw Southgate¡¯s lonely expression, and many Lion fans who watched the ball collectively in the bars were silent.


    It makes people sad and sad.


    But the pain in the hearts of outsiders is never as good as the pain in Southgate''s own heart, bursting with pain.


    Looking at the teammates already on the field, Southgate''s eyes are quite complicated.


    Longing for that piece of greenery, galloping on that passionate stage, now, he has lost the qualification to play in battle.


    The most painful thing for him is that although Aldridge comforted him privately after the FA Cup semi-finals, he relieved him and told him: The team needs him!


    Need him to promote young players, need him to impart experience in the locker room, to set an example for young players.


    But Southgate knew in his heart that he should say goodbye.


    When he was unable to contribute to the team, Glenn Charles chose to leave. When the team needed him, Glenn Charles returned.


    Now it is Southgate¡¯s turn to make his own choice.


    He thought about persevering, working hard, and burning his life for the crazy lion!


    But reality made him have to bow his head. He was not a particularly strong center defender. What he needed was flexibility and agility. However, his physical fitness declined after a serious injury, which made him lose the capital of a real lion.


    Looking at the back of Aldridge standing on the sidelines, Southgate suddenly returned to normal, the melancholy in his eyes disappeared, and his tight face relaxed.


    The head coach, who is younger than him, has gone through 11 years of ups and downs with him. These 11 years should be worth too many players, even the eleven years of the star. It was a glorious time. It is an indelible legend in the memory.


    He personally has no regrets.


    The only one who wanted to say sorry to the club was that he couldn''t end in perfection. When the team needed him most, he disappointed many people!


    His career has been perfect and worthwhile!


    It''s time to make the only contribution he can make.


    That is to take off the mad lion''s jersey and turn to leave.


    Can you put on the shirts of other teams?


    Southgate never thought about that kind of thing.


    So he made a decision.


    Retired!

 Chapter 1071： Close as soon as you see it

    Lion King Stadium.


    A whistle sounded.


    Henry kicked the ball to Ronaldo and the game officially started.


    Manchester United will always be the one who won''t play utilitarian football. That is not the philosophy of Manchester United, it may just be Ferguson''s stubborn stubbornness!


    Just after a fierce battle in the FA Cup semi-finals.


    This time it was a guest game again, and Manchester United have shown that they can''t keep up with Millwall''s rhythm since the opening.


    At the beginning of the opening, Ronaldinho broke through Neville on the left and passed. C Ronaldo jumped up the header at the back point and was blocked by goalkeeper Carroll. Millwall quickly hit the home momentum!


    Aldridge showed his majesty on the sidelines, and there is a sense of willingness. Since Manchester United snatched the FA Cup final tickets from Millwall, then, the league champion, Millwall is determined to win!


    He will not allow the FA Cup this line to be ended by Manchester United, and then be attacked by Manchester United in the league, never allowed!


    The Millwall generals also understood the importance of this battle.


    They knew in their hearts that it would be a shame to disappoint them if they could not do Manchester United after a week of rest!


    After the opening, Millwall took the lead in using Ronaldinho and Ronaldo''s breakthrough on both wings to create the panic of Manchester United''s defense, which forced Manchester United to frantically chase in the midfield and backcourt.


    In turn, it disrupts the overall formation of Manchester United, making it impossible to calmly face the game!


    In the first 15 minutes, Millwall pulled down the worn-out Manchester United through the high rhythm!


    Then, instead, they began to slow down and start stable ball control in the midfield and backcourt, shaping the game situation.


    One fast, one slow.


    Manchester United also had to slow down.


    Then, Millwall suddenly accelerated the game rhythm through the powerful control of the midfield and played a crazy offensive. Manchester United was difficult to resist under the situation that this rhythm suddenly changed.


    In the 24th minute, Alonso hit the ball in the midfield and passed the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo who ran into the right side. Cristiano Ronaldo took the ball and made a two-on-one match with Nedved to easily break through the old. Keane, then Ronaldo used the explosive acceleration to dribble laterally in front of the penalty area. Manchester United''s right defense focused on Ronaldinho. At this moment, Ronaldo was raging in the danger zone. Ferdinand and Neville had to turn their attention to Ronaldo. With a move, Ronaldo immediately passed the ball behind his feet. The ball rolled over behind Ferdinand. Ronaldinho inserted the ball in front of him and reached the rib of the penalty area, which already formed a semi-single-shot trend.


    Manchester United goalkeeper Carol abandoned the goal and blocked Ronaldinho''s shooting angle. Ronaldinho calmly controlled the ball and flicked out. After swinging the angle, he sent a nanny ball. Henry who met in front of the goal gently put the ball on the pad Shoot, hit the empty door!


    "Millwall leads! The Trident in the frontcourt has a subtle cooperation. C Ronaldo has contributed to this attack. He dribble the ball from the right to the center and moved laterally to contain most of Manchester United''s defense. A good pass, Ronaldinho, who succeeded in anti-offside, opened the angle of the goalkeeper and unselfishly sent the ball to Henry''s feet. Hahaha, Henry can kick the ball with his eyes closed, and there is an empty goal in front of him !"


    Henry smiled after scoring a goal, pointing at Ronaldinho, the two ran to the side of the field to celebrate, and the other teammates followed with a roaring run.


    The fans of the crazy lions in the stands were very satisfied.


    Manchester United fans fell suddenly and became listless.


    They didn''t understand whether Millwall''s main lineup was too strong, or Manchester United''s unintentional battle. In two games in four days, the two sides were the same, but the performance of the two teams was huge.


    Ferguson lowered his head on the coach seat and sighed softly without irritating his disciples'' performance.


    He knew very well that the huge field difference in this game originated from two points. First, Millwall¡¯s main lineup was well-repaired and benefited at home, while Manchester United fought a FA Cup. In the semi-finals, it is also a guest. The strength comparison between the two sides has been further opened. The second is the fighting intention!


    In the final analysis, sniper opponents won the championship, but their own hopelessness was not strong, and Millwall lost the FA Cup line and went all out to the league. The fighting intention was obviously stronger, which is beyond doubt.


    Aldrich''s majestic expression gave a smile, applauding the team''s goal, but then returned to a solemn posture.


    This game is more important than the next one to Stamford Bridge!


    It doesn''t matter who the opponent is, but Millwall''s lead in the standings will have a big impact on the player''s psychology.


    If, Millwall was tied or lost to Manchester United at home.


    So as long as Chelsea defeated Arsenal, the gap with Millwall will be reduced to 1 point or the same goal loss. In that case, the game to Stamford Bridge will be a real battle.


    Although the probability is still that Milwall has a weak lead, as long as they do not lose to Chelsea, the leader of the leader is still theirs.


    However, it must be taken into account that they have thrown away Chelsea by 10 points. In the past few months, Chelsea have been chasing points and have been shortening the gap between them. If the gap is narrowed to a game to decide who is the champion At the psychological and spiritual level, Chelsea is encouraged and excited. Millwall will inevitably have a little panic. Then, the seemingly leading advantage may not exist at all, or even a disadvantage!


    One goal lead is not insurance, Millwall can''t relax!


    Over the years, Aldridge has rarely made mistakes in key battles. It has a lot to do with his deliberate and emotional restraint. Of course, he will be excited for the team to score and lead the score, but he must exercise restraint. Words and deeds warned the team not to relax.


    Manchester United''s midfield attack was a mess, because they were scattered in defensive formation, and they were under tremendous pressure when they were driven by Millwall''s crazy frontcourt from the defense. Then they lacked time to stabilize the scene. In response, they are distributed in various free areas. They lack time, which is also one of the difficulties of the fast pace of the game to test the team.


    Originally Manchester United were able to do better, but they looked tired compared to Millwall, and when they ran less than Millwall, they naturally appeared slower, unable to clean up the complex situation and create a simple Offensive environment.


    In the 36th minute, Millwall played a subtle cooperation in the frontcourt. On the left, Ronaldinho and Ram completed two two-by-ones. Ronaldinho suddenly passed the ball back to Alonso, who then will The offensive shifted to the other side. Ronaldo, Henry, and Nedvide made a short pass to each other and passed the Manchester United defense. The Nedvide also passed the ball back to Alonso.


    However, at this time, Alonso''s position has rushed to the area close to the front waist. With his pressure, Manchester United''s defensive system is completely disrupted. Alonso sent a delicate direct pass, the ball from Keane and The crossing between Ferdinand, Ronaldinho missed the ball halfway, Neville was swayed, the empty behind was exposed and failed to fill in time, Ram took the ball inward after receiving the ball at the bottom line, almost the same position as Ronaldinho just assisted, pulled Tom picked the ball behind the goal.


    Carol jumped high and failed to touch the ball with his fingertips. He turned his head back desperately and watched the ball fly over him. When he landed, he turned his head to look and saw C Ronaldo gently head the ball down at the back point. With a press, the ball bounces into the goal!


    "2:0, C Ronaldo''s header broke the score and changed the score to 2:0, Millwall took another step towards victory! This is a classic goal, it is the teamwork of Millwall color team, they are completely Destroy Manchester United''s defense! Time and time again''intimidation'' and''shock'' made Manchester United players completely lose their calmness and seemed extremely panic, so they missed people and Millwall launched another fatal blow to easily rewrite the score !"


    Cristiano Ronaldo ran wildly and smiled. The young and exciting guy played beautiful figures this season and played a more important role in this team. He is still growing and not the future goal machine.


    Until the end of the first half, Millwall had been indiscriminately bombarding Manchester United. Manchester United was passively defending. Fanny in the front was dizzy. When he defended, he withdrew back. When the teammates in the backfield controlled the ball, he I immediately ran forward, but the ball always couldn''t get under his feet. Before he ran a few steps, he turned around and retreated. Almost the entire first half ran forward and backward and forward and back. But rarely can it appear in live footage...


    At halftime, Aldridge praised the team''s performance, and then let them work harder!


    After the midfield adjustment, Manchester United came up a bit in the second half and really wanted to make waves at the Lion King Stadium, but soon, they were beaten by Millwall''s fast break to be a new man.


    Heinze became the bad luck, Ronaldo failed to catch Ronaldo''s goal. In the 53rd minute, the second half had just started less than 10 minutes. Ronaldo''s breakthrough in the restricted area made Heinze angry and angry. Slide the shovel, and then Ronaldo fell into the penalty area. The referee not only fingered the penalty, but also showed Heinze a second yellow card. He already had a yellow card in the first half, when he was defending outside the penalty area Ruthlessly knocked down Ronaldo. Now, two yellows turn to one red, and he will be sent off.


    Millwall fans sang at Heinze in the stands. They jumped and jumped. They also earned a penalty for the team''s two goals and the opponent sent another penalty. This game is absolutely stable.


    Ferguson''s face was a little helpless, and Aldridge finally reached the ground after Ronaldinho took a penalty.


    Less than 60 minutes, Millwall Mingjin withdrew his troops.


    Although it is possible to reapply the offensive pressure and rewrite the score, Aldridge chose to close after seeing it.


    After all, before visiting Stamford Bridge next week, they still have a first round of the Champions League semi-finals to play, which is an away game.

 Chapter 1072： not much hope

    The score of 3:0 is maintained until the end of the game.


    Millwall beat Manchester United at home and temporarily extended the lead in the standings to 6 points. If Chelsea defeated Arsenal at Stamford Bridge, then Chelsea can also reduce the gap between the two sides to 3 points.


    After the game, Aldridge shook hands with Ferguson. The two still did not communicate. They turned away, one to lead the team to compete for the FA Cup, and one to play in the league and the Champions League.


    In an interview after the game, Aldridge bluntly said: "The victory of this game is very critical. Both the players and I know this well. Some people said that playing first is not good for us. The facts prove that we have enough courage. To overcome any difficulties with the will, now we have 3 points and the pressure is turned to Chelsea, but now we can not turn our attention to the next round of the league game at Stamford Bridge, we have to start preparing for Juventus The Champions League semi-finals is over. The good news is that we have a key player recovering from injury, Kaka, and his timely recovery is very important to us."


    ...


    The Premier League has become fiercely contested and has reached the final sprint.


    Millwall took the lead in defeating Manchester United, and the pressure naturally came to Chelsea.


    Chelsea only have the league left, so they have enough time to take a break, but Mourinho is depressed!


    But he could not complain to the media.


    In fact, it doesn''t matter whether Chelsea is in the first or second round.


    The point is, their opponent, Arsenal!


    Manchester United lost to Millwall without resistance, the team''s physical fitness and fighting spirit are definitely the key factors.


    Arsenal have two days more rest than Manchester United!


    Their game against Chelsea is the latest!


    The outside world said that Millwall had one day off. In fact, Mourinho hoped Millwall''s game would be played at the latest.


    In this way, only watching this round of the league, Millwall did take more rest, but Manchester United can also rest for two days, so that the possibility of Manchester United snipering Millwall will increase.


    At the same time, Millwall''s time between the Champions League semi-finals will be shortened, which will have a direct impact on the next round of the league battle at Stamford Bridge, making Millwall better consumed.


    But because Millwall had the Champions League mission, their game was played first in the league.


    Of course, the strong dialogue is going to stagger the days, and the protection of the ratings attention. In this way, Chelsea seems to rest more, but Arsenal also has more time to recover the FA Cup consumption.


    How is Mourinho not depressed?


    Chelsea fans are optimistic about this game against Arsenal.


    Arsenal have no hope of winning the championship, and their focus shifted to the FA Cup. They also played the FA Cup semi-finals in the previous week. Chelsea are full of energy and the possibility of winning the game should be higher.


    However, in the final round of the Premier League finals, at Stamford Bridge, after the 90-minute game, the entire Stamford Bridge fell into silence!


    Mourinho was expressionless and Wenger looked relaxed. Arsenal players retired in an orderly manner, while Chelsea players stood on the court and looked at a loss.


    "0:0! At the end of the game, Chelsea and Arsenal exchanged hands in a handshake at home! This is not a result that Chelsea fans want to see, but the reality can not be changed! Arsenal counterattacked in this game. Playing mainly, they don¡¯t seem to have the determination to win here. Chelsea¡¯s willpower is enough, but the lack of creativity exposed in the tough battle is a shortcoming in their skills and tactics. Don¡¯t look at the data. A 20-foot shot, but at least 70% of them are unthreatening long-range shots. They lack creativity in the frontcourt. When there is no space to fight back, they are like headless flies. Most of the time, the offense is where to play, maybe we The demand for Chelsea coach Mourinho is too harsh. Chelsea have performed well this season. Their counterattacks have made countless opponents afraid and even forced their opponents to give up their offense. However, they themselves are not good at breaking intensive defense. If Chelsea want to More powerful, they need to strengthen their ability in this area in the future. In the 35 rounds of the Premier League, the leader of the standings, Millwall, left the second-placed Chelsea by 5 points! If the next round is at home, Chelsea can beat Milwaukee. Well, they still need Millwall to make mistakes in the last two rounds of the league to reverse the championship, but this possibility is really very slim..."


    Chelsea and Arsenal''s derby in the same city came out, and the fans were crazy!


    In the past few months, Chelsea have been chasing the gap from 10 points behind to only 3 points. Seeing that the distance is getting closer and closer, Manchester United failed to attack Millwall. Instead, Arsenal made Chelsea''s dream of winning the league almost broken!


    ...


    Let''s turn our attention to Italy.


    In 2003, Lippi led Juventus to win the Serie A championship again. He made a promise that year to bring a Champions League to Juventus. If he can''t do it, then he will resign and leave.


    In the summer of 2004, Juventus not only failed to achieve a breakthrough in the Champions League, but also the league champion was snatched by AC Milan.


    Lippi fulfilled his promise, resigned and left, and then Capello entered the Zebra Legion!


    At the end of the major leagues, La Liga will end at the latest. There are still 5 rounds in the league. Barcelona is 8 points ahead of Real Madrid. The advantage is huge!


    The Bundesliga classmate Bayern Munich has already locked the league title in advance.


    Lyon in Ligue 1 is starting an era of domestic domination, and their consecutive titles continue.


    With 3 rounds remaining in the Premier League, Millwall left Chelsea by 5 points, and their probability of winning the title has been affirmed by the bookmaker, because the betting option for the championship was closed after Chelsea was tied by Arsenal.


    The Serie A situation is the most stalemate. With 5 rounds left in the league, defending champion AC Milan and Juventus share the same points! In the penultimate round, the two teams will also have a decisive battle in San Siro!


    It can be said that Juventus, AC Milan, Millwall, and three teams that reached the semi-finals of the Champions League have almost the same pressure.


    Not only did the league compete for the championship, only one step away from the Champions League final, but also in the middle of the two rounds of the Champions League semi-final, there was a strong dialogue between league competitors.


    Against this background, Aldridge led Millwall to Turin as a guest at Juventus.


    Aldridge complimented Juventus coach Capello before the game. He laughed and talked about it many years ago. He was very much looking forward to playing with Capello.


    It''s just that he didn''t tell the whole story. Capello, who yearned for confrontation, was Real Madrid coach Capello in the late 1990s, not today''s Capello, nor even Capello of Real Madrid in the future.


    What is the difference?


    Of course, Capello is still Capello, but the cards in his hands are different. Immersed in a unique league for a long time, my self-style will naturally change subtly.


    Serie A has lost the throne of the world¡¯s first league, from the loss of stars, from the conservative style of Italy in the new era of eyeballing, regardless of whether the fans understand the ball, of course, they will want to see the goal, Serie A goal rate is relative to La Liga and the Premier League have a low goal rate. In the media era, it is naturally easy to be compared. The leader Juventus and AC Milan scored less goals than Millwall¡¯s 2/3. It''s not as good as the goals of La Liga.


    Del Alp Stadium.


    The unsmiling Capello was on the sidelines and it was unclear what Millwall wanted on the road today!


    Millwall presented a lineup that was unexpected to him.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Defenders: Schneider, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Ram.


    Midfielders: De Rossi, Pedretti, Nedved.


    Forwards: Larson, Villa, Glennshire.


    On the bench, Alonso, Henry, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, and the four main players all sat there.


    And from the attitude after the opening, Millwall obviously is not here to win!


    They dragged their rhythm very slowly, very slowly, and even slower than many weak players in Serie A. The players seemed to have no motivation to play.


    Juventus relied on home profits, hoping to win Millwall at home, and then go to the Lion King Stadium to qualify for the final ticket.


    As a result, Millwall passed the control in the midfield and backcourt for a long time, as if consuming game time, which made Juventus lack of offensive opportunities.


    Aldrich''s idea on the sidelines was very simple.


    In the first game of the Champions League semi-finals, as long as 90 minutes without losing, or a small loss, he can accept, but the team''s main force can not be consumed too much.


    They are going to fight for Chelsea on the road.


    Therefore, the offensive backs are all sitting on the bench, solid defense in the midfield and backcourt, pass the control to kill the opponent, changing direction is also a kind of seduction.


    What is good for Millwall is that after the Champions League semifinals, they will visit Stamford Bridge, but before the second round of the Champions League semifinals, Juventus and AC Milan will have a peak in San Siro war!


    That game will inevitably force Juventus to consume too much!


    Therefore, from a strategic perspective, the best time for a decisive battle between Millwall and Juventus is not now, but in the second round. At that time, Millwall will have the right time and place!


    Capello is rigorous and the execution of techniques and tactics on the field is also carried out to the end. Juventus is not afraid to easily grab and expose the empty space behind him. In Serie A, it is rare to see a team daring to oppress the offense. This is not the philosophy of this league. It''s not the way to survive here, but Serie A teams that hold up the offensive football banner often don''t get out of their homes, so they are disarmed by the lost helmets of various groups in the local leagues.


    This is Juventus''s home court. Millwall has no mental burden. Aldridge competes with Capello for patience. It depends on who is unbalanced in the first 90 minutes.


    Juventus couldn''t master the game rhythm at home. Even if he didn''t dare to invest more troops, Capello felt helpless.


    The champion coach who was once taunted by the media in Spain as "the football style makes cows look dull" began to taste the bitterness of being counterattacked by opponents in the same way.

 Chapter 1073： Draw is enough

    At the Del Alp stadium there was a picture that made the fans of both sides extremely uncomfortable.


    When Millwall controlled the ball in the midfield, Juventus used the core concept of chain defense, not to grab, to maintain the tightness of the back defense system. They did not grab and did not expose the empty situation. Millwall The Trident will also be marked to death, Millwall simply does not pass the ball forward.


    Juventus is actually waiting to fight Millwall''s counterattack, and Millwall hopes that the other party will rob and expose the empty.


    In an environment that does not consider other factors, Millwall dared to invest in the offense, using a wave of attack to destroy the opponent''s defense line.


    However, this offensive is based on high physical energy consumption. In order to stay at Chelsea, and to ensure that the ball will not be lost, to improve the quality of defense, so Aldridge discharged a main midfield and backcourt defense and added a defensive type The starting lineup for the midfielder.


    Millwall controlled the ball in the midfield and Juventus fans were not satisfied.


    The boos seemed to be saying: Why don''t you **** attack?


    Nearly 10,000 Millwall fans were also dissatisfied and protested that Juventus were still shrinking their heads at home, daring not to come out and fight!


    Capello is helpless, but on the premise of no change on the field, Aldridge is very calm.


    He wanted to see if Capello dare to gamble!


    He is very confident of returning to the Lion King Stadium for the second round, and the fast pace of the Premier League is definitely not Juventus can resist.


    After all, Capello still has no guts to oppress the team!


    At the end of the game, Juventus fans stopped booing.


    0:0.


    The result is not bad.


    This "not bad" is relative to Millwall''s away record in the Champions League in the past few years. It is not particularly pessimistic to let Millwall not score at home, especially optimistically. The next round Moving to the Lion King Stadium, as long as Juventus scored a goal, then Millwall to advance to the final, it must score two!


    Most Juventus fans think so.


    The idea of ??a fan of crazy lions is much simpler: return to the home to clean up you!


    When attending the UEFA official press conference after the game, the Italian journalist made trouble for Aldridge and asked: "As the defending champion of the Champions League, Millwall abandoned his style today. There were only 6 shots in the game. This is You have the lowest number of shots in all competitions throughout the season. Do you admit that Millwall has started to turn to utilitarianism?"


    Aldridge thought for a long time, coughed twice, and asked, "How many shots did Juventus have in the game?"


    There was a burst of laughter from the audience.


    In addition to Italian journalists, media reporters from other countries couldn''t help laughing.


    The Italian reporter did not answer. Someone answered for them. Richard from Fleet Street shouted: "Sir Hall, it was a 3-foot shot and no one hit the goal."


    Aldridge¡¯s pretense came to a sigh: ¡°As the defending champion of the Champions League, Millwall played at Juventus. Although he didn¡¯t score a goal, we handed over twice as many shots as the home team. I think this can be explained from a certain level. Millwall is more aggressive than Juventus. It is true. What did you ask me just now? Oh, utilitarianism, I have never said that Millwall is not a ball of utilitarianism. Team, I have always emphasized that we are a down-to-earth team, so others can say that we are a utilitarian team, but I don¡¯t know if you describe Juventus, will you put a prefix in front of utilitarianism? Explanation? For example, extreme utilitarianism?"


    The Italian journalists were helpless.


    The reporters on Fleet Street laughed and said nothing.


    Utilitarianism is a derogatory term in football.


    However, no one dared to make a fuss in this respect when Aldridge won the championship.


    Because Millwall would hit each other¡¯s face at any time, in case the column article today criticized Millwall for utilitarianism, and in the next game, Millwall bombarded his opponents with passion and offensive football, which left the writers self-confident, Readers are naturally disgusted, although, often, the ball critics only summarize and analyze a certain game.


    This is different from Mourinho''s Chelsea. One is to insist on a style, and Audridge belongs to the mouth of the Thames chief columnist.


    He did not have the determination to defend or implement a football style until he died. He was unpredictable.


    You can say that Aldridge doesn¡¯t have a style, but his team seems to become a chameleon when everyone defines it by style. A variety of styles can be well interpreted from another perspective. This is where Millwall is strong, and it is also the result of the work of Aldrich training the team to give the team a richer practical ability.


    ...


    In the middle of the week, Champions League Millwall made up the majority of the main players, but did not consume too much on the court, because these defensive players have not withstood the excessive offensive test of Juventus, Ronaldinho and others on the bench were sitting and watching After the race, there was no warm-up. The only cost to them was the trip to and from the boat.


    Mourinho was unhappy again.


    In the last round of the league, the outside world thought that Millwall was "losing"!


    Millwall played the FA Cup in the middle of the week, the league started first!


    So, this week, Millwall''s visit to Chelsea was scheduled for the final round of the game, which is the last game.


    This allowed Millwall to return from the Champions League and have more rest time.


    Most people think so. Millwall "lost" in the previous round and got some "compensation" in this round.


    But Mourinho and Aldrich, as well as the circles such as Ferguson, Wenger, Benitez, everyone knows that Millwall takes the advantage!


    The energetic main lineup last week easily defeated Manchester United, who stepped on the tipping point of the three-day recovery period.


    Chelsea faced Arsenal, who had rested for 5 days, and was eventually tied by Arsenal.


    Millwall returned from the Champions League this week and got almost four and a half days of rest. How could he not take advantage?


    The sooner this game starts, the better it will be for Chelsea, but the FA''s schedule is so arranged. Chelsea can''t complain!


    The season has come to an end. Looking back on this season, Mourinho has complained too much. The schedule, the referee, and even his dog have to be taken away to complain, and then complain, he will soon become a complaint.


    Moreover, if you find other reasons to complain at this time, it appears to be weak, which is very unfavorable to Chelsea''s military heart.


    Chelsea is sympathetic to the outside world.


    Their points during the same period have surpassed 70% of the final championship points since the establishment of the Premier League in 1992. This is a very good Chelsea. The league performance is stable, powerful, and unbeatable. However, they still look away from the championship throne. Out of reach, if the direct confrontation with Millwall is ruled out, that is, the change of points at the Lion King Stadium in the first half of the league, Chelsea actually only lags behind Millwall by 2 points. Although Millwall is powerless this season Refreshing the record of 104 points in the league points they created before, but not far from that record. Now they have 93 points. If they can win the last three league games, their points will reach 102 points, which is the highest point in the Premier League. The score record is only 2 points, which is the gap between a draw and a victory, or if the only defeat becomes a victory, they may be able to refresh the record they created.


    Not that Chelsea are not good enough, but they are not better than Millwall.


    Of course, there is still suspense.


    Maybe Millwall will crash and give away the championship trophy.


    Who knows about things on the football field?


    Mourinho didn¡¯t complain, but at the pre-match press conference, in addition to emphasizing that Chelsea had a chance to win the championship, first he had to defeat Millwall and thwart Millwall¡¯s morale. Then, he gave up his life to warn the referee The team also deliberately talked about the fiasco in the first half of the league.


    During his pre-match press conference, Aldridge was asked by reporters about Mourinho¡¯s remarks. He thought it was ridiculous and asked: ¡°This season Millwall has played against Chelsea three times. We won three times. Then, someone It¡¯s the referee¡¯s question, okay, why didn¡¯t the UEFA and UEFA simply award the championship trophy to us? What other games do they play? Haha, Chelsea are determined to take the championship trophy from Millwall. Very good, I appreciate the aggressive opponents, so that Millwall¡¯s victory will be commendable, and the player¡¯s sense of accomplishment will be stronger. Visiting the game at Stamford Bridge, I think it may be more difficult than we thought. Because Chelsea are aspiring, they will give everything to win and hope to win the championship. After all, they have invested huge amounts of money in the past two years. They need a huge championship trophy to fill the empty honor room. They also need to let investors and their bosses see the results. However, Millwall now seems to have a clear advantage, as long as we don¡¯t lose, a draw can be accepted. If the final is a draw, the gap between us and Chelsea is still 5 points, then, in the last two leagues, we only need to take By 1 point, we can ensure a successful defending. After all, Chelsea have given us too many goal difference behind."


    Aldridge threw his pre-match view: 1 point is enough!


    As long as Chelsea is tied, the Millwall championship trophy is in hand.


    His remarks became true and true under the rendering of Fleet Street.


    Fleet Street also deliberately analyzed the schedule, because Millwall also had to take into account the second round of the Champions League semi-finals. The 0:0 in the first round looked very dangerous to Millwall. In the final two rounds of the league, Millwall The opponents are Newcastle United and West Brom, let alone take 1 point, 2 points to ensure that there is absolutely no problem.

 Chapter 1074： Looking up

    Stamford Bridge Stadium is a "pocket" stadium among the giants. Consider that Old Trafford has expanded to 70,000 capacity. The further expansion plan of Millwall¡¯s Lion King Stadium is also in the next stage of the club¡¯s development. In the plan, Arsenal''s new stadium is also expected by the Gunners fans to arrive in the next three years. Stamford Bridge''s 40,000 capacity, indeed, can''t take the shot.


    The small pitch means fewer tickets for the visiting team. The Premier League''s final match at Stamford Bridge this season is hard to find. The visiting team fans can get tickets for less than six thousand.


    Before the game started, Chelsea fans created a massive atmosphere of cheering in the stadium, waving their flags and singing Chelsea songs, the benefits of the small stadium were highlighted, and it was easier to gather the sounds made by the stands Echoed in the stadium.


    Millwall fans were somewhat depressed on the visiting team stands. The leader of the fan organization screamed and led the comrades to cheer Millwall together, but they could not overshadow the home team''s momentum.


    The former "Lion Roar" fan organization has been reintegrated in the past year. One of the original founders like Brady left for work and life. This is a normal thing. Real men must definitely carry it. The important task of the family is not to control oneself by oneself.


    The same situation also occurred in other fan organizations. Those who had formed the fan organization around the age of 20 with their loyalty to the crazy lion and a lot of blood, many people either because of life or work Mobilization, and even some people withdrew from the fan organization because of learning, which made the management and cohesion of the fan organization decline. So, in the last year, they reshuffled and the several fan organizations connected to each other fused together , A brand new fan organization was born, named: Mad Lion Guards!


    Their slogan is not just preached like a "lion roar": if you love crazy lion, then victory over roar!


    Now, there is quite a cult scent: defend everything about the mad lion!


    Those members of the fan organization whose management system and scale remained in normal conditions shouted, roared, and sang songs in the stands of the visiting team, trying to overshadow the momentum created by Chelsea fans in the stadium, but their vocalizations were too dumb to succeed. While being discouraged and unwilling, they were also dissatisfied with the "Crazy Lion Guards".


    Because at least 1,500 people came to Stamford Bridge¡¯s ¡°Lion Lion Guards¡± members, they stood there quietly, without waving flags, without holding up scarves, without singing, without yelling, as if they were coming from neutral fans Watching the game quietly.


    Before the players from both sides entered the field, Millwall coach Audridge first walked into the field. His appearance made a subtle change in the atmosphere on the court. Chelsea fans close to him will humiliate him with sign language to give He created pressure and made him lose his calmness. At best, he could kick like a cantoner!


    If some fans are unfortunately hit by this foot, and Aldridge is sent off with a red card, he may even be suspended for a long time, and may even go to jail. This will definitely be of great benefit to Chelsea. Many Chelsea **** fans are willing to "sacrifice themselves." ".


    The turmoil of the fans in the visiting team stands in support of Aldridge, singing songs praising Aldridge.


    Aldridge still didn''t shake hands with Mourinho. He came to the visiting coach''s seat to stand still, seeming to be unhurried, accustomed to the hustle and bustle on the court, calm as an outsider.


    Mourinho also stood in front of the coach of the home team. He couldn''t help glancing at Aldridge, his face dignified.


    He can''t figure out what tactics Millwall will play on the road today.


    Offense?


    Why take the initiative to give Chelsea space to fight back?


    Even if Millwall loses, he still has the initiative to win the championship, and even the space is very large.


    Chelsea won, and the gap with Millwall shortened to 2 points.


    In the last two rounds, even if Chelsea wins, Millwall will score 4 points with one win and one draw, with the same score as Chelsea, Millwall will also rely on the advantage of the goal difference!


    And if it is a draw, it is almost certain that Millwall has successfully defended!


    Will Millwall attack aggressively?


    Mourinho was at a loss and felt that 90% of the chances were that Millwall would conservatively score 1 as the main goal. After all, Millwall also had a life-and-death battle with Juventus in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals. Moreover, Millwall eliminated Chelsea in the second round of the Champions League. They took a defensive counterattack at their home court. Today came to Stamford Bridge. Mourinho made his own way. He felt that if he was himself , Then 100% will definitely fight back, and it is an extremely conservative counterattack! But because he knew he was not Aldridge, he was 10% more likely to come out.


    But there was only one way before Chelsea.


    attack!


    There is no escape route.


    Defense cannot be said to be meaningless.


    The premise of this existence is: Millwall actively attacked!


    Players from both sides lined up.


    Mourinho glanced away to observe Millwall''s starting lineup.


    "The 2004-2005 season in the English Premier League finally came to the most intense and exciting stage. Millwall, the top ranked leaderboard, came to Stamford Bridge. Chelsea, the home team, trailed Millwall by 5 points. Andy, you think Millwall How likely is it to win the championship?"


    "I think as long as Sir Hall allows Millwall to play a tight defense and score 1 point here, then Millwall can declare the defending success! Chelsea only looks at the record this season, which is almost perfect, but, in The problems exposed in the key battles cannot be ignored, that is, their positional attack ability is lacking in creativity, which is very obvious in their Champions League elimination by Millwall, and the last round of the main scene against Arsenal. Chelsea are strong, but they are not strong enough to shake Millwall. This is the fundamental reason why they are now behind Millwall by 5 points. In other words, if the opponent chooses to play anti-anti against them, Chelsea will win. It will drop by at least 20%."


    "Oh? So what do you think caused this? Chelsea seem to have a group of talented players."


    "First of all, it must be the tactical arrangement of the head coach. Mourinho has two defensive midfielders in the midfield to strengthen the defense. Essien and Makelele have very good defense. The offense also occasionally flashes, but they are attacking. Can''t maintain a stable assist play in the front. Relying on Robben, Duff, Ribery, Joe Cole, and other highly skilled players in the past rely on speed and dribbling technology to tear the opponent''s defensive line. The vast space, but when attacking tough battles and breaking intensive defenses, when the lack of space, they seem to decline in power."


    "Lampard returned to English football this season. He brought Chelsea a very good offensive help in the frontcourt. He scored and assisted. He seemed to be omnipotent."


    "Yes, simply looking at Lampard''s statistics, he is very good, but if we compare Millwall''s lineup, we will understand why Sir Hall let him go. Lampard is good at forwards and has long shots. Ability, and a stable pass success rate, but his dribbling breakthrough is not particularly good, and what he is good at, Millwall''s offensive system, he can not bring better supplement and sublimation to the team, Passing, Millwall has Alonso behind, Ronaldinho who can send a concealed straight ball in front, when breaking the intensive defense, dribbling breakthrough is a very important means to be able to tear the opponent''s partial Defense, which disrupted the opponent''s mark. This season''s Brazilian Kaka, who performed very well in the Millwall formation, his explosive power is simply amazing. He also has the ability to shoot long-range, so Millwall broke through the intensive defense. The reason for the stronger is here too, to have an exquisite pass, to have an exquisite pass, to have a breakthrough, to have a long shot and a long shot master, which makes their offensive means very rich, so Millwall does not need Lampard, they It also needs a player who can bring more other means to the offense, or become an unpredictable opponent."


    "Corresponding to this game, Millwall won all three matches against Chelsea in the first three of the season. In the last game, the most crucial one, will Millwall win?"


    "I think it depends on Sir Hall''s positioning in the game, he wants to firmly lock the championship, so as long as he plays anti-anti, he can be 80% sure that he will not lose, but if Sir Hall has other ideas, such as not being imposing If you can lose to Chelsea, then the changes in the game will be unpredictable."


    "Oh, the initiative is in Sir Hall''s hands, not in Mourinho''s hands, right?"


    "That''s it, well, let''s take a look at the starting lineup of both sides.


    Home team Chelsea started 433.


    Goalkeeper: Cech.


    Guards: Ferreira, Carvalho, Terry, Ashley Cole.


    Midfielders: Essien, Makelele, Lampard.


    Forwards: Robben, Drogba, Ribery.


    Millwall started 433.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Defenders: Schneider, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Ram.


    Midfielders: De Rossi, Alonso, Kaka.


    Forwards: C Ronaldo, Henry, Ronaldinho.


    Although the formations of the two teams look the same, the operation of the technical and tactical system is completely different. Millwall emphasizes midfield control, and Chelsea focuses on the offensive and defensive conversion of side attack. We..."


    While Andy Gray and Martin Taylor were still proactively predicting the game, they suddenly froze during the commentary because Andy Gray looked down from the location of the live studio and saw more than 40,000 Stamford Bridge The audience, looking up at the sky together...


    Over the Stamford Bridge, a small plane passed slowly.

 Chapter 1075： 50 years, next, next

    At Stamford Bridge Stadium, which can accommodate 40,000 people, the visiting team has 1,500 fans who are slightly quiet. This is actually a relatively small area.


    However, standing here are the 1,500 fans of the mad lion guard, as well as the veteran leaders of several fan organizations that used to be the ancestors of the mad lion guard. They stood in the same row, and the person in the middle was Lions founders Brady, Sol, Fred and others.


    Headed by them, when the kick-off ceremony took place after the players entered the field, suddenly, they and the 1500 fans of the mad lion imperial guards were right-handed!


    If you do this by yourself, there may be no effect and no waves can be caused.


    But at Stamford Bridge, 1,500 people gathered in an area to do so at the same time. The scene was quite abrupt and not spectacular.


    But this will arouse the curiosity of many people, as if it has turned into a virus, spreading it, so that people infected with the virus will subconsciously look up at the sky and understand what it means for the group of people to point to the sky.


    When 40,000 spectators at Stamford Bridge looked up at the sky together, it happened that a small plane flew over Stamford Bridge at a slow speed.


    At this point, the live footage turned to the sky immediately.


    Behind the small plane, drag a banner and hang the sky!


    The big words above clearly write a sentence.


    "Chelsea has waited 50 years, and will wait 50 years, the next 50 years, and the next..."


    Seeing this sentence on the banner in the sky, if there is no plane in sight, this seems to be the prophecy of God descended!


    Chelsea fans are stupid!


    The head is dazed!


    50 years!


    Yes, they have been waiting for 50 years!


    The last top league championship was won in the 1954-1955 season, this season, the 2004-2005 season, no more, no less than 50 years!


    The words written in the air banner that day obviously told Chelsea people: You still can''t get the league title this year. 50 years, half a century of waiting, it is just the beginning, there will be another 50 years of waiting, and the next one!


    At this moment, the fans of the Lions coming to Stamford Bridge and the fans of the Lions watching the live broadcast of the game in countless bars on the banks of the Thames are excited and toast!


    On the court, Brady, the creator, showed his arrogant smile on the finger, and was quite shocked by the scene of self-revelation.


    While Chelsea fans were stunned in the stadium, the lion guards, 1,500 people shouted in unison: "Chelsea want a league champion? Dream!"


    Shake more than 30,000 home team fans with 1500 people!


    The mad lion guards instantly reversed the atmosphere of the stadium. All the fans of the visiting team on the scene seemed to be charged, and they started to cheer again.


    Actually overshadowed the home team fans after the rhythm is disrupted, the chaos and noise can not form a unified momentum!


    Aldridge bowed his head on the sidelines and couldn''t restrain his smile, it was an intoxicating smile.


    He naturally looked up at the sky, and did not expect the fans of the Lions to use this method to suppress Chelsea''s momentum today.


    Before the game started, Chelsea players were a little absent-minded. A plane flew through the sky and made a mockery "from the top". Anyone will be affected.


    Mourinho''s face became a bit gloomy, he immediately shouted at the players, so that the players should not be disturbed by the outside world and concentrate on the game.


    And he himself abandoned the distractions and focused on the game on the court.


    He needs keen insight to get his opponent''s information in the first place.


    Millwall¡¯s lineup information alone is not enough.


    He also needs to look at Millwall''s posture at the start, through player position, overall formation position, etc.


    When the game started, Millwall really retreated.


    This retreat is relatively speaking. If they usually attack, they will have a higher pressure. If they retreat, although the defender will not withdraw into the restricted area, they are not far away.


    Therefore, when Millwall retraced deeper, and when the ball was stabilized, Mourinho was **** trying to scold the mother!


    Sure enough, really, really!


    The decisive Aldridge really put up an anti-anti-posture on the road!


    This is no chance to give Chelsea!


    The situation on the court is not only visible to the head coach, but the players on the court can naturally see it!


    They have gone through so many battles, what their opponents are going to do, maybe they can''t guess everything, but just looking at Millwall''s posture today, the first thought in his mind is: they want to fight back!


    How to do?


    Can''t you grab it?


    Mourinho was shocked.


    A game came to his mind.


    A game that ended just a few days ago.

 ~： Juventus in the first round!

    It was a dull 0:0.


    Juventus desperately can only hit a three-footed non-threatening shot at home and then watch Millwall retreat!


    Mourinho, who was choking at the moment, understood that if Millwall were not disrupted, and let them defend their counterattacks, Chelsea might have really been killed!


    You know, in the last game at Juventus, Millwall''s possession rate reached 70%!


    The ball control time has reached 43 minutes!


    In other words, for almost half of the time, the ball is under the control of Millwall players, and then for the remaining half of the time, the ball is either flying in the sky, or the dead ball consumes time, or Juventus controls the ball.


    The ball control rate does not represent an advantage, because the ball control rate should be divided into effective ball control and invalid ball control.


    However, the ball control time is a more intuitive data. The more the ball control time, the higher the probability of the offense.


    In the case of non-opponent mistakes, you can only create a chance to score if you control the ball yourself. If the ball is not under your control, how can a goal appear?


    Chelsea players saw Millwall''s posture, and before Mourinho ordered it, they stepped forward to rob. The opportunity must be robbed. If it is not robbed, there is no chance at all.


    Mourinho actually defaulted to the behavior of the players. At this time, it is necessary to let the opponent make mistakes, or they grab the opportunity and put defensive pressure on Millwall to control the ball.


    Chelsea''s three lines that had been contracted in the first half slowly expanded forward. The Trident went to the front field. Lampard just crossed the center line and Millwall suddenly launched a wave of back-to-back offensive!


    In the 8th minute, Ram inserted from the side at high speed. Alonso, who was in possession of the ball, immediately passed the ball to Ram and gave Ram ahead.


    Robben didn''t keep up with Ram, which made Mourinho irritated.


    At this moment, Mourinho already had an ominous hunch, and he realized that he and the players might have misjudged the interpretation of Millwall''s game attitude.


    Because, Millwall looks like this wave of offensive is not a counterattack at all!


    First of all, Chelsea did not attack, let alone counterattack.


    Secondly, Millwall¡¯s time spent on attacking was shocking!


    Ram is still approaching the center line with the ball in the midfield and backcourt. Aronso can be seen running parallel, and Schneider is not on the other side, but the position is also slightly premised.


    In front, Kaka, Ronaldinho, Henry, Ronaldo, the four began to run, dazzling.


    Millwall''s offensive mode can''t be said to be fully activated. How can you say that they are fighting back at least when a six-player attack has occurred?


    Chelsea''s defense is pushing forward, and Millwall''s attack speeded up at once, and it seems absolutely premeditated. Just wait for Chelsea''s defensive formation to press forward, and then beat them by surprise!


    When Ram took the ball halftime, Lampard wanted to intercept laterally.


    Lampard quickly withdrew, and Essien was free to intercept Ram.


    Makelele stared at Kaka closely, and Lampard was also preparing to block the space where Kaka received.


    However, Ronaldinho''s running position was forward, and then backward. After Essien left, he became a contact point parallel to Kaka''s position. Ram distributes the ball to the front court after bringing the ball to the front court. Ronaldinho.


    Essien turned around and Makelele panned, Lampard continued to mark Kaka.


    Ronaldinho didn''t stop the ball, just knocked the ball back to the front of the wing.


    This is a one-on-one.


    Ram continued to move forward, and after regaining control of the ball, Ferreira had already intercepted him.


    Ram again decisively delivered the ball, his ball passed to Ferreira''s left, Carvalho was in front, Henry backed Carvalho here to respond, Henry also kicked the ball, he saw Maklele quickly rushing When he was about to rob him with his teammates, he did not hesitate to pass the ball to the place behind Makelele.


    When Makelele turned and looked around, he felt someone passing him.


    who?


    Kaka!


    The explosive Kaka dribbles the ball directly with the speed and hardly turns the Makelele that has not started yet. This may not be a speed competition or a time difference effect. Makelele reacts no matter how fast it is. Pomezia¡¯s team cooperated to dizzy, and Lampard lost to Kaka in speed. He tried to pull Kaka, but was unsuccessful, and hesitated at the last minute because he See Kaka''s foot stepped on the line of the big restricted area!


    Terry had suffered a loss of Kaka in the Champions League. This time he was cautious not to dare to make a kick. However, Kaka took the lead in making a choice after entering the penalty area. He gently pushed the ball to the right.


    A thousand defenses, Ashley Cole is defending against C Ronaldo''s cut, but on this side, C Ronaldo has no inner cut, but instead presses forward and then retreats, forming a parallel position with Kaka Contact, Ronaldo stopped the ball, took the ball, all in one go.


    He did not use too much force to bring the ball into the penalty area with his arch!


    The ball rolled behind Terry and rolled horizontally to the front of Chelsea. Henry was catching the goal behind the goal in this running position, so he slightly attracted Carvalho¡¯s attention. A too large gap appeared in the gap between Carvalho and Terry.


    Someone appeared here, and made an unpretentious push against the rolling ball. Cech rushed back to the middle from the corner of the goal to save the ball. He completely saved the wrong place, because the angle of the ball is still The near corner of the goal is the opposite direction of Cech''s movement!


    After the goal appeared, the scorer ran to the corner flag area and started a samba dance.


    At Stamford Bridge, mad lion fans shouted passionately, Ronaldinho''s name resounded through the sky!

 Chapter 1076： Two middle fingers at a lifetime

    Ronaldinho''s goal suddenly changed the atmosphere of Stamford Bridge!


    The fans of the home team smelled the death in the stands, as if they were all silent. In front of them, they only saw Millwall suddenly burst a forward offensive, and then ruthlessly shattered the Chelsea defense.


    Everything came so fast!


    The rewriting of the score made Chelsea fall into the abyss of fear!


    "Ronaldinho opened the first record! Millwall played a classic team with goals! If Millwall wins this game, then Millwall will announce the success of defending two rounds in advance after this round!"


    Mourinho guessed wrong, and at this moment he turned his head involuntarily and looked at Aldrich''s direction. It happened that Aldridge was also looking at him, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, with a confident smile looking evil.


    1 point?


    That''s right, Millwall scored 1 point and can basically declare the championship.


    But what if the game is lost?


    Millwall still has the initiative to win the championship, and there is room for mistakes.


    In this context, if Aldridge conservatively wants only one point, hehe, that is not his style.


    It is not difficult to guess what Millwall intends to come to Stamford Bridge today, because the choice is nothing more than the two, the main attack or the main defender.


    However, it is too difficult to guess.


    Mourinho was wrong.


    Millwall''s retreat at the start, slowing down the pace, is a blind eye, misleading Chelsea, who let Millwall occupy the strategic commanding height!


    Chelsea had no room and space to make mistakes, but they made a misjudgment about the situation and enemy situation on the field. Now, less than ten minutes later, the thunderbolt came.


    0:1 behind!


    The death penalty was almost declared!


    On the stand of the visiting team, crazy lion fans celebrated wildly. Some fans were waving a homemade Premier League trophy model, and they had a posture to further crack down on the morale of the dead enemy Chelsea.


    The Chelsea crowds will be reluctant to face, they want to quickly kick off the organization offensive to return Millwall.


    At this moment, it is far from the time to give up, and it can even be said that when swearing to fight back in the water, the game time is still ample. Chelsea is like a wounded beast, but it has accumulated a stronger determination of wildness and counterattack.


    However, a huge change happened on the sidelines!


    This change has a subtle effect on the game.


    Ronaldinho celebrated at the other end of the field after scoring a goal. In fact, he did not run to the away fans¡¯ stand, but instead danced a samba dance near the home team¡¯s stand. This is a performance against the dead enemy. Excited to tear his grim posture.


    In this neighborhood, a large number of stadium security personnel gathered to prevent the fans in the stands from overtaking the stands to attack Ronaldinho, coins and other debris fell one after another. The referee should come over and persuade Ronaldinho and other Millwall players to end the celebration as soon as possible. Don''t provoke the home team fans and make the scene runaway.


    On the other side of the visiting team fans stands, the protection of the security personnel has been weakened for a while. When the crazy lions fans were celebrating wildly, a young man about 20 years old jumped into the stadium while the security guard was not paying attention to the physical strength. Inside!


    The moment he stepped into the stadium, a large number of visiting fans started coaxing and shouting his name.


    "Penn Burke! Penn Burke!"


    In the life circle of East London, Payne Burke is an unknown soldier. He has never followed the footsteps of the crazy lion. Compared with many diehard fans, he can show off how many away they have visited to see Millwall. The game, due to economic reasons, Payne Burke has only seen a few Millwall live games, that will cost him a short time of savings.


    Today, he did it deliberately. As an unashamed fan of mad lion, Payne Burke is waiting for today, waiting for his contribution to the mad lion!


    He is an impulsive young man, and he never conceals himself as a fan of mad lions.


    When he rushed into the court and stepped into the white line, Payne Burke, the guy took off his shirt and threw it into the sky, revealing his naked upper body.


    Brightly exposed his back.


    On his back, there is a blue lion tattoo!


    It is the Blue Lion on the Milwall team badge!


    This is his love and loyalty to the crazy lion!


    This tattoo will be with him throughout his life, and may be shown to everyone regardless of occasion!


    Payne Burke rushed into the field, and the blue lion tattoo on his back made him look like a strong and brave lion in the run!


    A few stacks of things were attached to his trouser belt, and from a distance, it looked like a pound of paper money!


    He rushed towards the middle circle first. When Robben, Ribery and Drogba exchanged a few people, his appearance scared the other party.


    Payne Burke pulled out a stack of "paper money" from his waistband with his hands, and slammed the "paper money" in his hands on the faces of Ribery and Robben without mercy in the rapid running!


    Oh oh!


    "Good job! Payne!"


    The visiting team''s stand was ignited by a new round of passion. Almost all fans of the crazy lion were excited and proud of Penn''s behavior!


    The TV live broadcast rules have not been changed, and FIFA has not prohibited the broadcast of fans.


    The audience, the audience in front of the TV, all saw it, as if Millwall''s fanatic fans rushed into the venue, pounding Ribery and Robben''s faces with pound notes, clearly mocking them for willingness to go for money Be a traitor!


    Security personnel from all directions also rushed into the field, and they flocked to the place where Payne Burke was located, and Payne Burke¡¯s mission was not completed. He was like a guerrilla and shot one place for another. When Ribery and Robben were so angry and even urged to catch up with Payne and beat him up, Payne had already run away.


    Payne ran towards Ashley Cole!


    Ashley Cole watched the other person rushing towards himself and wanted to avoid it, but turned around and ran two steps and felt that if he ran away to avoid now, he would become a clown and be teased by everyone forever!


    Therefore, he did a good job to stop Payne from humiliating himself, and he looked forward to the stadium security personnel running faster.


    Those big fat guards, **** your mother, hurry up, and hurry up to Lao Tzu!


    Ashley Cole felt a little guilty, but he was embarrassed to hide. When Payne rushed over, Ashley Cole was about to stop the opponent, but unfortunately Payne preemptively, he first put the last two stacks from the waistband "Paper money" was drawn out, his hands spread out, and when he was close to Ashley Cole, he directly hit the other person''s face!


    Ashley Cole raised his hand for a block, hehe, the celestial girl was scattered like flowers, and the "paper money" fluttered around him. When Ashley Cole opened his eyes and lowered his arm, in front of him, the look was better than him. Penn Burke, who was wild and handsome, stood in front of him with a provocative look, a pair of hands and **** in front of Ashley Cole!


    Two middle fingers!


    Ashley Cole was extremely resentful, he wanted to fight Payne, but in the face of the opponent''s savage wildness, he counseled himself and took a step back.


    Especially when he saw the tattoos on the opponent''s left and right arms, he subconsciously chose to escape.


    Payne Burke is not only the blue lion logo with the mad lion team logo on the back, but also the heads of Nedved and Ronaldinho on the forearm of the arm. The worship of superstars.


    Seeing Ashley Cole take a step back, Payne Burke didn¡¯t have to measure anymore, he lowered his arms, looked around the room, shouted "Milwall!", then took his hands behind his back and waited for security Take away the uniform.


    The visiting team fans repeatedly shouted the name of Payne Burke in the stands, and he was escorted off the court by four security guards like a hero.


    Ashley Cole wanted to do something to divert his attention, so he bent down to pick up the "banknotes" on the ground, picked it up and touched it with his hands, knowing that it was plain paper that copied the pound sterling map, and, more To ridicule, the center of the pattern, and the hand-drawn stool graphics, seem to be insulting Ashley Cole as shit...


    Because Payne Burke was subdued without any resistance after finishing humiliating his opponents, he was not controlled by the security guard when he walked off the court. He raised his chest and sang Mill after yelling Millwall¡¯s name. Wall''s team song, no one else!


    For all crazy Lions fans around the world, this may be a day to watch the Millwall League defending decisive battle, and Payne Burke is also a small person who will be forgotten next week.


    However, this is an important day for Payne Burke!


    Remember the moment of life!


    There are crazy lion fans who can spend ten years, twenty years, fifty years, and a lifetime to come to the stadium to watch Millwall''s game, follow and support Millwall in this way.


    But Payne Burke was reluctant to do so, perhaps because of the reality, he did not have the financial ability to become the owner of the Millwall season ticket, and it is impossible to watch the game at his own expense and travel expenses for every away game, let alone Tickets are expensive in the Champions League.


    After today, he will also lose such qualification forever.


    Because the FA will definitely ban him for life, that is, deprive him of the qualification to enter the game!


    However, he has no regrets!


    Worth it!


    In the future, some fans can say how many games they have watched at Millwall and how many season tickets they have accumulated. Payne Burke can also tell everyone: At the end of April 2005, Millwall and Chelsea won the championship. On the day of the decisive battle, I rushed into the court to humiliate Robben, Ribery, Ashley Cole and these mad lion traitors!


    This is his pursuit, perhaps the three views are somewhat distorted, and even bear the consequences of a lifetime ban.


    No matter what other people say, how the priest criticizes, or how the moralists give him a "ideological education class", he will never regret it!


    If there is a chance, he will choose to do it again!


    Other fans can stay together for a lifetime with the crazy lion. He, Payne Burke, only want to bloom in an instant, burn himself at the cost of his life, and make what he thinks right, and contribute to the crazy lion!

 Chapter 1077： Im here to be crowned

    Qianlong''s last trip to Jiangnan was hard to change because of his sexuality. As a result, the village woman and her family burst into a hammer. After returning to the palace, they wrote "Poor mountains and bad waters, shrews and people" for self-consolation.


    When the poor mountains are out of the water, they are put in London, which definitely describes East London, West London is a noble paradise, celebrities and gentlemen can be seen everywhere, and West London is an immigration garden, immigrants from different skin colors and different countries gather here. .


    The East London derby of Millwall and West Ham is unusually popular. The fans of other teams are not as sturdy as the fans of these two teams. It is the environment that influences people.


    Seeing Payne Burke''s rushing performance, Aldridge was deeply touched. He thought of being rushed by fans of West Ham United. He also slapped the man over the face and saw West Ham United. Fans carrying flags to enter the scene of burning the flag of the crazy lion team emblem.


    If the club did not take the initiative to cooperate with the FA and the police to clean up the rogue organization among the local fans, maybe this scene, Millwall will do more excessively, and thought that for many years, the Lions fans will not have any more This kind of cross-border performance, unexpectedly, someone came out today.


    However, the nature of the matter, Aldridge does not care about it, Payne Burke belongs to the minority, the overall quality of Millwall fans watching has been greatly improved, in the past, maybe in Payne. Immediately after the picture of Burke''s rushing field appeared, there were countless responders. Maybe the stands would also become very chaotic. The security guards at Stamford Bridge will certainly be unable to maintain order and require the intervention of the London police.


    When Payne Burke was taken off the field, Aldridge also walked over to remind the security guard not to embarrass this young guy. After all, Payne Burke had "disarmed and surrendered", it is best not to "use lynching".


    Aldrich can¡¯t say that he wants to plead for Penn Burke or justify his ¡°crime¡±.


    But emotionally, he wanted to thank Payne Burke.


    Obviously, this young man''s brave performance at this point in time has further dampened the morale of Chelsea!


    Directly humiliated the three Chelsea players on the court, even if they can still fight against Millwall, but their mentality will inevitably be affected.


    Players are also humans, and players may have stronger self-esteem because of their appearance rate and value, and they will be humiliated by the public in the eyes of everyone. Who can stop their hearts?


    Mourinho''s head is about to explode!


    Teeth must be crushed.


    Every time, every time, every **** battle against Millwall!


    Some unexpected things will happen!


    It''s like someone has to stir up the game, and it''s not a **** stick that has a negative impact on both sides, but it has caused Chelsea to be the most negatively affected!


    At Penn Burke''s rushing stage, Millwall would be optimistic about the show and cheering. Ronaldinho was very relieved. Anyway, he also beat Ashley Cole, and now he hopes to run to the other side and fall further.


    After the game restarted, Aldridge didn''t do anything, and Millwall really fought back.


    No more emphasis on control, the overall formation is retreating, the offensive routine is a bit monotonous, a typical defensive counterattack tactic.


    Mourinho, who was so exhausted this season, is about to collapse.


    When studying Millwall as a bystander, there will not be much psychological fluctuations. Even if Millwall is on the court, it is not him who is crushed, nor is he crushed. Naturally, there is no skin pain.


    However, this was their fourth time in the first season with Aldridge, and his arrogance was almost shattered.


    It seemed that Aldridge could not be targeted, because this guy never played according to common sense.


    When Millwall should fight back, Millwall didn''t fight, Millwall took the lead. He could take the initiative to attack and even if the opponent equalized the score with a sneak attack, but when the game returned to the starting point, Millwall returned to fight back.


    This makes no sense at all!


    It happened on the court.


    And the execution of General Millwall makes all coaches envious.


    "Uh, Chelsea''s problem is back, the score is behind, they will actively break through Millwall''s intensive defense, but now, they don''t seem to be like a united team anymore, in the frontcourt, Robben, Ribery Fighting for each other, if there is a chance, I will take the ball to break through. It seems that I want to use my own strength to break through Millwall¡¯s door, but the effect is really bad, and opportunities are often wasted. Ashley Cole ran up the frontcourt. Bailey wants to cooperate, and it can be seen that Ashley Cole wants to perform on the offensive end, but he and Ribery are not in the same rhythm, one wants the ball, the other wants to rely on himself, instead Make Ashley Cole overwhelmed in the frontcourt like an amateur player."


    Robben, Ribery, of course they want to score goals on their own!


    They were just beaten by Payne Burke and they held their anger in anger, they just need to score a goal to vent!


    Proving yourself with goals, as if you only scored goals, as long as you defeated Millwall, you can get rid of the traitor.


    Ashley Cole is probably the same idea, now, he began to miss Millwall.


    In Millwall, he can be the most shining full-back on the offensive end!


    But now, when his teammates don''t give him a chance, he is like an amateur player, running out of energy, the ball can''t be touched, and finally runs back silently.


    Chelsea''s offensive play was very bad, stemming from too much individualism.


    Millwall defended steadily, frequently using the opponent''s forward pressure, and launched a counterattack when the defender turned to attack.


    Chelsea need to score goals, but they cannot create a threatening offensive on the front line.


    Aldridge seemed very calm. When Chelsea kept attacking, Millwall was consuming opponents and waiting for good opportunities.


    In the 34th minute of the game, Millwall launched a counterattack from the backcourt.


    Ribery finally had to pass the ball, because he was blocked by Schneider and De Rossi. When he did not know what to do, when he saw Ashley Cole, he passed the ball and happened to be Ronaldo. Intercepted, Ronaldo took the ball and ran just two steps along the sidewalk. Ashley Cole backtracked and knocked Ronaldo down.


    Ashley Cole was deliberately fouled, otherwise, he had no other way, but Ronaldo poke the ball out before handing it to the Kaka in front of the running position.


    The head referee observes the situation on the court and makes a choice that will help the offense not stop the game.


    While Kaka led the ball forward, the explosive force was astonishing, directly dumping Lampard, making Lampard also want to foul but failed to achieve.


    When Kaka drove the ball forward, there was a wide dribbling space in the front court.


    Faced with Essien''s defense, Kaka passed the ball to Ronaldinho who was on the left and leaned towards the middle. Ronaldinho''s forward rushing the ball also throws Essien away.


    Ronaldinho hit the ball in the middle of the penalty area. Ronaldinho stopped at two meters in front of Makelele to control the ball and pulled the ball horizontally. A poor rhythm made Makelele lose the opposite pass although he did not lose all his center of gravity. Line protection.


    Ronaldinho passed the ball to Henry behind Makelele. After the latter got the ball, he tapped it horizontally. Ronaldinho ran up after the pass to face Terry and turned his head to look at Henry who was in forward momentum.


    Terry subconsciously wanted to block Henry''s pass line, but Ronaldinho''s ankle shook and the ball went outside, Terry on the other side.


    Watch the left pass right!


    Ashley Cole still hasn''t returned to position. The weak link on this side was used by Millwall''s counterattack. Kaka came here and then broke through the opponent''s entire back line. The ball crosses, Henry midfielder outstrips Cech who came out of the abandoned goal and kicks the ball towards the far post of the goal with a light roll!


    The ball hit the net and Cech wiped his face blankly.


    "Second goal! Millwall scored the second goal! Now Millwall leads with 2:0, they are getting closer and closer to victory, closer and closer to the success of the defending Premier League, and seventh from them. The Premier League trophy is getting closer and closer!"


    "This is where Millwall is more powerful than Chelsea. They have to fight for positional battles. They have the ability to break through dense defenses. They have to fight back. They don''t lack speed and teamwork. Kaka is too fast, Rona. Aldino¡¯s ability to thread the needle is undoubted. Look at the action he made when he uploaded it to Kaka in the big penalty line. The passing action is very simple, but he turned his head to look to the other side and tricked Terry with his eyes. A simple pass, but with strong concealment! Henry scores goals more easily, he will not waste this opportunity, it is really difficult to imagine if it is a healthy Henry, will this season refresh his own maintenance Premier League Golden Boots season goal record."


    After Henry scored a goal, Chelsea will be violently leaping in and out of the penalty area, but Henry beckoned seriously to Kaka and Ronaldinho, waiting for the two to trot and hug the two, then continue to beckon to the far-end teammates After waiting for everyone to run over, Millwall will hug together as if to show their unity to the world.


    And how powerful is the united Millwall!


    Aldridge smiled broadly, and spread his hand towards Mourinho, not far away, and said loudly, "Jos¨¦, do you want a Premier League title? If you want, show some courage!"


    Mourinho had a complicated look, so he ignored it.


    Chelsea played a counter-attack in the Premier League for a season. Today, Millwall scored a goal with a positional fast break and then expanded the score with anti-counterattack!


    Aldrich is stimulating Mourinho!


    You played anti-reaction for a season and earned so many points with anti-reaction.


    Now, it''s your turn to be defended against you. How can you, Mourinho, and your team, Chelsea? !


    Want to overthrow the king in the Premier League ruled by Millwall with a set of anti-anti-wars?


    dream!


    Aldrich''s gentle smile became daunting after Mourinho ignored him.


    Today, Millwall is not here to score 1 point!


    Millwall came to Stamford Bridge to announce the successful defending!


    Beating Chelsea, Millwall will lead Chelsea by 8 points.


    There are still 2 rounds in the league, and Millwall will crown the seventh Premier League in advance!

 Chapter 1078： Exit

    Chelsea fell behind by two goals at home, and the players of the team were panicked at the moment, not knowing what to do next.


    Is it an attack?


    But what about Millwall''s counterattack? Can''t help it.


    Is it defensive?


    Can this bring goals?


    They did not know that, confused and hesitant, the morale began to quickly fall.


    One ball behind, some chase.


    Two goals behind will really put people on the verge of collapse.


    Naturally attacking players naturally want to attack, but after restarting the ball, Millwall does not take the initiative to defend and counterattack, but the attack point is fully spread out, forming a pressure control of the ball in the front and center, and then Chelsea will attack. Suppress it!


    Aldridge didn''t seem to do anything, but Millwall was constantly changing.


    In fact, such a posture change is arranged before the game. As long as the players do not regard the coaching team¡¯s pre-game deployment as a whisper, they can know how to adjust after the event of a major change in the game situation during the game. Self-pose.


    In the game, scoring is the biggest event that changes the game situation. Secondly, there may be a red card event, a core player injury event and so on.


    Millwall''s posture at the start was to wait and stabilize. After Chelsea had a little investment in the attack, he quickly opened up the offensive. After the goal appeared, he went to defend against it. , And then switch to a full-scale oppression attitude.


    With such a switch, Millwall''s team is in step, showing their unity and tacit understanding, which also makes the opponents unpredictable. In a self-focused game attitude, they can always make the opponent''s expectations fall through and confuse the opponent.


    At the Stamford Bridge stand, fans of the home team expected Chelsea to complete a major reversal, but Millwall dominated the scene, making them anxious.


    Before the end of the first half, Cristiano Ronaldo shot a long shot from the edge of the penalty area and almost rewritten the score. Unfortunately, Cech used his bravery to block the ball from the corner of the goal with one hand!


    "At the end of the first half, Chelsea trailed the defending champion Millwall 0:2 at home. If it ends with the current score, Millwall will defend the title successfully and win the Premier League title this season two rounds ahead! Mourinho The team seems to have been stunned by two lost goals. They seemed overwhelmed in the last half of the first half. They often gave Millwall a shot at the edge of the danger zone. They need to rejuvenate in the second half. It depends on Mourinho''s adjustment in the midfield."


    As he walked into the player''s tunnel, Mourinho lowered his head and seemed to be thinking about countermeasures.


    Aldridge seemed relaxed and steadily moving forward.


    In the locker room, Aldridge didn''t say a word, but just stayed with the players and watched them clean up their shoes and tie back the leg guards.


    He used a calm gesture to infect players, let them understand that the game is not over, and they need 45 minutes to fight.


    After 45 minutes, they can enjoy the fruitful results of a season of hard work.


    In the second half, the two sides changed sides and played again. Mourinho sat on the coach''s seat. His eyes were fixed on Millwall''s half. He had a strong expectation in his heart: make a mistake! Make a mistake! Make a mistake! ! !


    In the short period of intermission, he wanted to understand the simplest thing: if Millwall does not make mistakes, Chelsea has no chance in this game.


    Because this is an "unfair" game.


    Millwall has a strategic commanding height, and Chelsea must attack from the beginning. Millwall can seize this point and deploy tactics. No matter whether the coach or the player knows this advantage, it is Chelsea''s advantage against Millwall. The attitude is not clear, they are not sure whether Millwall really came to Stamford Bridge to take a point and save the league title.


    In this regard, Chelsea has actually fallen into a passive situation before the game.


    This led to Mourinho''s formation of platoons, and tactical choices also became stretched, and the room for play was very narrow.


    Now with two goals behind, Chelsea are still playing anti-anti, because Millwall is actively attacking.


    It¡¯s just that Chelsea¡¯s counterattack routine that appears slightly ¡°in accordance with rules¡± in front of Millwall, there must be new changes, otherwise it is difficult to make unexpected threats, but at this point, Mourinho dare not change hastily, afraid of a point The changes will cause a complete collapse.


    Attitude must be counterattacked.


    How to increase the threat of counterattack?


    Can only rely on opponents to make mistakes!


    Millwall may be taken lightly, or the offensive is too aggressive, no matter what, only Millwall made a mistake and was caught by Chelsea, which can bring Chelsea hopes of a comeback at home.


    "Chelsea can''t control the situation on the field. They obviously lack a player like Alonso who can organize the offense and also control the pace of the game. When they attack, the audience can guess that they will quickly move forward. Offensive, not to mention Millwall players? Chelsea has always wanted to speed up the rhythm. In this way, the probability of being prejudged to be attacked by opponents is too high. More of their players are defending and blindly pursuing fast breaks. The first few The shooting point will be blocked by Millwall, or the center of gravity of the defense will be targeted. They need a midfielder who can control the scene, can give more teammates running time, and read the game, master the offense, and when the time is ripe Then he decisively mobilized threatening offensives. Now, they are just fast, they just break through the sidelines. In front of Millwall, they are like pupils on the football field. They are listening to the teachings of the master. Millwall is using actual actions. Teach them how to master the game rhythm, how to shape the game situation through the cooperation of midfield players, and then when the opponent''s attention is distracted or excessively concentrated in a certain area, suddenly shift the attack to the opponent''s weak defense area to launch a threat offensive."


    Chelsea are already very strong, but they are not yet superb. Relatively, Millwall is a super first-class team. Their control of the game on the field is a master.


    In the second half, Millwall was using more skillful game control skills to suppress Chelsea. To some extent, this should make Chelsea players feel the gap, and also make Mourinho understand what his team lacks.


    In the 63rd minute, Henry walked into the penalty area after roaming with Ronaldinho, and suddenly returned to the top of the arc of the penalty area. The running Kaka pulls his feet and shoots angrily. The ball hits the beam and pops up.


    After 3 minutes, Ram accidentally entered the penalty area, responding to Ronaldo''s cross pass and shot the far corner of the goal, but the ball slid out of the goal.


    Another 2 minutes later, Ronaldinho suddenly launched an oblique long pass. The ball that flew into the penalty area was successfully scored by Ronaldo. He headered the goal, but unfortunately the angle was too confiscated by Cech.


    In the 71st minute, Ronaldinho was surrounded by the outside of the penalty area. Chelsea players did not dare to grab, fearing that Ronaldinho would get rid of the ball when he was out, Ronaldinho shot the ball in the spot and kicked the ball towards the goal. Cech responded promptly and fell to the ground to block the ball. Ronaldo, who followed the supplementary shot, put the anti-aircraft gun and hit the plane with a ball.


    Millwall''s state was completely out, and he bombed Chelsea wildly.


    Unfortunately, their luck is a bit bad.


    Well, this is luck. When the offensive opportunity is created, it is not grasped, and when the player deliberately chooses the angle to control the shooting direction, and passes the goal, this may be luck.


    Looking back at Chelsea¡¯s counterattack, Robben¡¯s physical decline was somewhat obvious. His encounter with defensive, technically conscious Ram did not take much advantage, and Ribery on the other side did not pose much threat. Schneider Although the explosive power may not be comparable to Ribery, the consciousness of experience accumulated over the years cannot be compared with Ribery.


    Drogba still had a hard time in front of Nesta. Lampard did not create a better chance under the blockade of Alonso and De Rossi.


    Moreover, with the passage of time, the morale of Chelsea''s military has declined even more.


    To win the championship, there is no hope at all!


    When the 75th minute of the game arrived, the fans of the home team had already left the stadium at the stand of Stamford Bridge!


    After noticing this detail, the fans of the visiting team were happily celebrating and cheering more enthusiastically for the team. Even if the Millwall players just passed the ball, they would make a screaming cheer.


    "In less than 80 minutes, Chelsea fans have begun to retire, it is hard to say that this is their silent protest against Chelsea, because Chelsea''s performance this season is obvious to everyone, except for two direct dialogues with Millwall in the league. In addition, they only lost to Manchester City in the league, at the same time, Millwall also lost to Manchester City, but in terms of points, Millwall led Chelsea''s weak advantage, regardless of Millwall, Chelsea got The points have been the season with the highest points since their establishment in the Premier League, and the league has not played in two rounds. This situation will inevitably make the home team fans very injured and disappointed, setting the highest record in the Premier League season for the team¡¯s history. , But they can¡¯t get the league champions, and their exit, we prefer to believe this is the reason: don¡¯t want to see the scene of the rival enemy Millwall successfully celebrating the championship. Unless a miracle can be born, Chelsea will be in the rest of the time Equalize the score or reverse the opponent, otherwise, when the moment of the end of the game comes, Millwall will be crowned the Premier League champion of the season! At Stamford Bridge Stadium!"


    "Martin, I don¡¯t think there will be a miracle. Chelsea only had two shots in the second half. Their formation is getting more and more backward, and the offense is getting more and more monotonous. It seems that Millwall¡¯s back line is regarded as paper. Robben and Ribery sprinted, can Drogba''s impact force shake Millwall? They need to be more patient, even, complex offensive routines to break Millwall''s defense, see Millwall''s average offense The number of passes, you know, Millwall seems to play tepidly, but in fact the offense is very patient and complicated. This kind of complexity consumes the opponent and frequently shifts the center of gravity of the attack through the pass, making Chelsea The focus of the defense, the player''s attention is also passively shifted, and then seize the opportunity to play a threat offensive, on the contrary, Chelsea''s attack, we can not see such a scene."


    "Andy, does Mourinho still have time? I mean, will he be fired by the Chelsea boss?"


    "This question, I don''t think Chelsea should think about solving employer coaching, because they cannot bear the consequences!"

 Chapter 1079： Two names

    In the eyes of Fleet Street, Chelsea boss Abu is certainly not a patient boss.


    The Russian rich man who was exposed to learn from Inter Milan boss Moratti seems to be similar to Moratti, that is, if he is not satisfied with the record, he will fire the coach.


    After he bought Chelsea, he fired the opponent without meeting Ranieri, and then chose Eriksson. In the first season coached by Eriksson, that is, last season, the league was not over. When Chelsea was eliminated from the Champions League, Eriksson''s fate was decided.


    Now, one of the hot topics in front of Fleet Street is whether Mourinho will be out of class.


    That''s why I learned about the exploratory dialogue between the combination of Martin Taylor and Andy Gray.


    "Martin, we must look at Mourinho''s record in coaching Chelsea. Now, we just see that Chelsea led by Mourinho can''t shake Millwall''s rule. However, looking at it from another angle, Chelsea leads Manchester United. Arsenal, Liverpool, and the gap is very big, at the same time, Mourinho also brought Chelsea this season, the Champions League."


    "Oh, Andy, you mean, Manchester United did not fire Ferguson, Arsenal did not fire Wenger, and Mourinho should actually not be fired, right?"


    "There are factors in this area, but not exactly. You know, a coach will give a team his personal color. Even if Chelsea cannot win the league title this season, they are tough and tenacious, pragmatic football. The style has begun to penetrate the hearts of the people. If Chelsea invited a coach with a very different style to coach this team, then the new coach may make a very significant transformation of the team. First of all, Mourinho must be erased. The trace of this is just this, which will take a lot of time. The price of this time must be the record! Secondly, this may not only be the change of the head coach. Changing a head coach will inevitably further the team lineup. The impact of today¡¯s main force may be swept out tomorrow. Chelsea¡¯s staff has changed too much in the past two seasons. The locker room should be very turbulent. This development will inevitably violate the rules of football. Chelsea has the financial resources to accelerate them. To succeed, but if you violate the rules of football to build a team, you will not have good fruit."


    ...


    Coincidentally, when the commentator was discussing whether Mourinho''s **** could still sit in the position of Chelsea coach, Abu was also communicating with Kenyon in the stands of Stamford Bridge.


    After Chelsea were tied by Arsenal at home in the last round, Abu almost did not expect the Chelsea league title this season.


    It is not that his enthusiasm and support for Chelsea is not enough. After spending a lot of money for two consecutive years, no one can question his enthusiasm for running Chelsea. However, he is more realistic and will not dream with empty idealism.


    For example, Fleet Street made a probabilistic prediction before the start of the round. The probability of Millwall winning the championship is as high as 93.7%, and Chelsea winning the championship is only 6.3%. I don¡¯t know how they count or make such a prediction, but, just Such an almost one-sided prediction coincides with Abu''s inner thoughts.


    If Chelsea can win the championship, then the **** is a miracle!


    In the first three matches of this season, Chelsea suffered a defeat. At the most crucial time, Chelsea suddenly showed power. Who believes!


    It''s been almost two years since we really entered the football circle. During these two years, Abu has gradually become an amateur scouting from the "amateur scout".


    He didn''t seem so surprised and lost that Mourinho couldn''t win Aldridge.


    The reason is simple.


    How strong Aldridge is, just look at the championship record in his honor book.


    Why can''t Chelsea beat Millwall?


    It''s also very simple.


    Lack of strength.


    Abu will not think about how profound or complicated the problem is, the facts before him are clear at a glance: our strength is not as good as the crazy lion!


    In the fantasy lineup he originally envisioned, it was a team of eleven world-class superstars starting!


    But in the process of implementation, he embarrassed him: a quotation of 100 million euros for Raul, but no one can buy it!


    At the level of superstar players, money, although a very important part, but there are still other factors affecting the player transfer, and may play a key role, such as Raul, unwilling to go to Chelsea, even with Flo Lentino is unhappy, he still wants to stay in Bernabeu, and even sacrifices himself for the team''s technical and tactics, this is the loyalty of the players.


    Chelsea''s attraction to superstars is not enough. Abu can only accept the compromise of reality. His biggest resource: wealth, can''t play a role. Then, take the second place, buy some first-class players, and have the potential to grow into a world-class superstar. After a period of waiting, the new Chelsea can reach world-class standards.


    So only looking at the lineup, Chelsea lost to Millwall, Abu has nothing to accept. Last season, he will be furious because of the fiasco at home led by Eriksson. Now, it is probably that the entry time is long. I find it unacceptable.


    Millwall''s star group is divided according to strength. It seems to be weaker than before, because they used to have half of the world-class stars. Only 3 players are on the field today.


    Ronaldinho, Henry, Nesta.


    But there was still a Nedved on the bench.


    Other players, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, and Alonso, are already first-class players, and like De Rossi, who grew fast last season and tends to be stable this season, is considered by the outside world to be the Premier League. Two stars like Vieira, even Ram and Silva, have made great progress this season, and the growth rate is amazing.


    And Chelsea?


    Can be regarded as a world-class superstar by the outside world, there is only one now, Lampard!


    The midfield superstar who helped England get the World Cup and the European Cup, if there is nowhere to go back to the Premier League from Inter Milan, I am afraid that he will not come to Chelsea, but just like his worth, he is now Chelsea¡¯s highest paid Star.


    But what about others?


    Makelele is underestimated and not considered world-class, but it should be at least half.


    Originally Ashley Cole was absolutely world-class, but this season, his worth fell!


    Because he did not have a better performance on the offensive end, a defender who relies on defense alone, no matter how good the defense is, it is impossible to enter the world class!


    Other players like Robben, Ribery, Drogba, Essien, Carvalho, etc. Although they look very good, compared with Millwall players in the same period, they always feel like a little worse.


    So in terms of overall strength, Millwall is stronger than Chelsea, but it is not necessarily much stronger, so Millwall can leave Manchester United and Arsenal in the league without a trace, but in the penultimate round. Let Chelsea retain hope for the championship.


    Abu is not satisfied or satisfied with Mourinho''s work.


    Mourinho didn''t surprise him. A League Cup champion won the championship the next day, so there is no satisfaction.


    However, Mourinho did not lead the team to a bad record, Chelsea played a valuable strength, ranked second in the league, ranked second in the standings, it is quite satisfactory, if the Champions League is not against Millwall, it may be Will go further.


    Kenyon suggested that Abdo give Mourinho some time, just as the reason stated in the exchange between Martin Taylor and Andy Gray.


    Chelsea can''t afford it!


    Who do you invite again?


    Please come to a coach who has not coached in the Premier League, then this coach should be familiar with the Premier League, understand Chelsea, and put his own set into practice, even if everything is going well, when it is on the right track, the Premier League may have finished playing next season 1/ 3. Then? Chelsea may have said goodbye to the champion.


    In the fierce and brutal competition of the Premier League, which is so outrageous, there is only one opponent you want to stare at: Millwall.


    If the opponent does not make a mistake, you cannot make a mistake!


    Abu didn''t want to perform another major operation on Chelsea.


    That would put the team into turmoil, and the record must be paid.


    But his patience is limited, he will only give Mourinho another season.


    It''s not okay if your work results are just pressing the target line. Should you do something extraordinary?


    At the same time, in order to narrow the gap between Chelsea and Millwall, Abu hopes to bring Chelsea one or two world-class stars in the summer!


    In this way, the weak gap between Chelsea and Millwall may be able to be filled, because Chelsea''s current main lineup also has room for growth. After this season, it should be stronger by next season.


    In terms of player selection, the first target is naturally Millwall''s players. If they can succeed, it is equivalent to directly reducing Millwall''s strength.


    Hearing Abu''s question in a low voice, Ken Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly, but did not answer. In fact, everyone knew the answer.


    It is a great success for Chelsea that the three Millwall players were poached last summer, but it is impossible for the players who want to dig Millwall this summer and even continue to work in this area in the future!


    why?


    Because of Ashley Cole they set an example.


    They didn''t have such an influential success in Chelsea, which made Millwall''s star unless there was nothing other than money in his eyes that would be tempting, and other stars might avoid Chelsea.


    Go to Chelsea?


    Looking for bad luck!


    Abu probably knew that it was not realistic, so he didn''t continue this topic.


    Subsequently, he mentioned two names.


    Kenyang showed a thoughtful expression when he heard the names of these two world-class stars.


    Finally said to Abu: "We show the greatest sincerity and do our best to bring them to Stamford Bridge in the summer."


    The two names mentioned in Abu''s mouth are also related to Millwall.


    One is Shevchenko who is AC Milan''s leading shooter and has a good personal relationship with Abu.


    The other is the midfielder Barack with only one year left in the Bayern Munich contract period.

 Chapter 1080： Degassing

    The potential shortcoming of Chelsea''s current line-up is one more thing: tough fight ability.


    Of course, this tough battle level also needs to be differentiated. Like playing Manchester United Arsenal, it is also updating opponents with defective lineups. Chelsea does not seem to have fatal problems, but playing Millwall is a combination of new and old players and some core players. The team at the peak seems to be slightly under pressure.


    Robben, Ribery, Duff, Joe Cole, and even Drogba, the ability to play a key role in the headwind, and the will to stand up and turn the tide, making people unable to expect.


    Millwall, with the pinnacle of Ronaldinho on the front, carried the offensive banner in the frontcourt, and in the backcourt, Nesta Schneider''s mature role of stabilizing defense, the mobilization of the team''s morale was significantly stronger than the opponent.


    This is the potential deciding factor after excluding the technical and tactical victory.


    After 80 minutes of the game, Chelsea seemed to surrender at home. The whole team was unable to form a unified thinking. It was entirely in passive defense. Even if there was a chance to counterattack, but no teammates stepped forward to increase the counterattack attack point. The counterattack opportunity can only be wasted.


    Millwall started to close the game and won the game. They will win the league championship. Then, all the focus of the season will be transferred to the Champions League.


    Aldridge replaced three offensive players with three substitutions and used defense to ensure victory.


    While the narrator discussed whether the position of the Chelsea coach was stable, Mourinho was sitting on the coach seat at this time. His expression seemed numb, but his heart was very calm.


    He knew his first season at Chelsea ended with failure.


    Second in the league, he is a failure for the proud.


    In the past, he led Porto to play against Millwall for two consecutive years, and it could not be used as the main reference. Let him collect enemy intelligence and learn more about Millwall. It is impossible to be very thorough.


    But today, in the 2004-2005 season he led Chelsea to play against Millwall for the fourth time in a season and still ended in defeat, he began to sum up experience and learn lessons.


    In his mind, it seemed to be playing a slide show, scene after scene, the details of the last three confrontations, and today''s confrontation from beginning to end.


    From the external environment, to the real battle on the field, he wants to see everything.


    Where did you lose?


    This is not important.


    Because there are many possibilities for failure.


    It is never possible to find patterns on the football field.


    You want to sum up to find out how to win, or how to avoid defeat, it is difficult, because two identical teams will not play exactly the same two games, maybe you have done everything, but in the end because of the players A mistake made by the referee can change the overall trend of a foul penalty that can be judged unsettled.


    The dreamers in the football circle are pursuing magnificent creations, while the utilitarians are demanding and striving for details.


    Mourinho experienced the fierce competition in the Premier League and felt the helplessness of Wenger and Ferguson.


    At this time, at the scene where one-third of the home team fans at Stamford Bridge had already retired, it seemed that all the betrayal and estrangement, Mourinho summed up some experiences of how to face Millwall in order not to fall.


    The first is strategically, if you want to defeat Millwall, Chelsea must not be passive.


    For example, in the league, if the Chelsea points are behind when the two teams meet, this strategy will be passive. This passive will directly affect the team¡¯s platooning and put the opponents in a favorable position. If it is in the Champions League, it is even more calm. , Like Chelsea hopes to defeat Millwall at Stamford Bridge in the first leg of the Champions League, this idea is wrong in itself, because the stronger the idea, only the darker prospects for Chelsea, because strategically, you still let your own The road is getting narrower and narrower.


    The league needs to accumulate advantages, and the cup must be calm. The real strongman must not only understand tolerance, but also have such a temperament.


    And like the first round in the league, Mutu¡¯s drug upheaval naturally affected Chelsea, not to mention that there will be a major negative impact on the strategy, but at least there will be fluctuations in the military¡¯s heart. When the strong enemy strikes, the internal change Marching taboo.


    Tactically, Mourinho doesn''t have many tricks, Chelsea''s team building strategy is generally based on his plan, so it is unlikely to change the whole, and he can only follow this path firmly. He also believes that his team still has a lot of room for growth.


    Anti-anti-reaction must be firm, but playing Millwall four times this season, at least three games with anti-anti-main have not been able to play a particularly good effect, and even it is difficult to break through the Millwall gate, excluding Millwall The lineup is strong and does not have the big impact of injury. Chelsea counterattacks are monotonously predictable and also one of the shortcomings.


    In other words, if one-on-one cannot eat hard, the threat of a counterattack on the sidelines will plummet.


    Originally Chelsea had a stable "strong eat" point, that is Robben, but now the season is coming to an end, look at Robben''s attendance rate, only about 50%, the Dutch glassman is sometimes a huge threat on the court, but The injury affected his stability, which brought unstable factors to the team''s long-term construction. For example, Robben was injured on the eve of the critical battle, so the tactical arrangement will be a fatal blow.


    If you want to fight Millwall, you can''t fight against it. Extreme defense may improve your success rate, but if you want to pursue the most extreme, there is only one last option: put the bus!


    7-8 defense, 2-3 attack!


    It''s that simple, even if the shrinking restricted area doesn''t matter, on the contrary, this may make the opponent''s extreme pressure up and expose the wider space behind him.


    When Mourinho''s contemplation was over, the game on the court was also over.


    After the referee whistled, Mourinho got up with his hands in his pockets and walked towards the player''s channel. Behind him, Millwall''s substitute players rushed into the stadium to celebrate, and countless fans in the stands were singing and dancing.


    The moment he walked into the player¡¯s tunnel, Mourinho couldn¡¯t help but look back. He saw that Aldridge and Ronaldinho walked into the stadium, he looked at the man¡¯s back and could not talk. Hate is just stubbornness and firmness in my heart.


    Next season, I will not lose again!


    Never!


    The Chelsea fans in the stands were discouraged and turned away silently.


    Chelsea generals on the court, some of them walked directly to the player channel at the end of the game, while others bowed their heads on the court to show a look of frustration and disappointment.


    Their season is over!


    Even if there are still two rounds of league games that have not been played, they have already set the highest record in the Premier League in Chelsea history, but they still have to witness the death of their rivals at their doorstep to declare their success!


    "At this time last month, Fleet Street defined April 2005 as the''London Dead War Month''. Millwall and Chelsea played a 180-minute life-and-death battle in the Champions League. Millwall won the promotion to the semifinals of the Champions League. On the last day of the month, Millwall came to Stamford Bridge with a 5 point advantage. After 90 minutes, they defeated Chelsea 2-0. It can be said that they are officially crowned here Premier League seventh crown, defending success! Next, they will work hard for the Champions League, only two games left to defend the Champions League success, of course, they must first defeat Juventus at home, the Premier League competition this season belongs to London , Chelsea¡¯s sudden emergence, but it is difficult to shake Millwall¡¯s rule, Millwall continues to conquer all strong enemies with their strong performance, they are likely to win the championship again with a record of 100%, but that is actually irrelevant, Because the score record of the standings is also created by themselves."


    When Aldridge walked in with Ronaldinho Henry, Ronaldinho suddenly asked next to him: "Boss, is it a special relief to announce the victory here?"


    Henry snickered aside.


    When playing Chelsea, Millwall was particularly active. In fact, the relationship between the enemy and the enemy did not affect them too much, but after the past teammates defected and left, this hostility rose straight up, and a bloodthirsty wildness broke out, as if driving them in the heart Chelsea must be crushed!


    Teach those traitors hard!


    Stamford Bridge stadium echoed with the majestic and loud singing of Millwall fans. In this situation, Aldridge''s mouth slightly curled, turning his head to whisper to Ronaldinho: "If I say the mentality is normal, this must be hypocritical. ?"


    Ronaldinho grinned.


    Aldridge continued to laugh: "Yes, yes, it''s **** relieved! And it''s not enough, it''s not enough. We have to suppress them for one, two, five, ten years! The enemy, the most So keep stepping on them!"


    Ronaldinho patted Aldridge''s shoulder and said: "Relax, no problem! Look at their advice, they don''t dare to attack on the court, ha ha ha, play once, clean up them once!"


    "It''s not a small tone, if you can maintain your status for this season for five years, you can talk big nostrils!"


    "Ha, rest assured, everything is wrapped in me, no problem!"


    Ronaldinho ran to celebrate with his teammates, Aldridge made some exchanges with Henry, he hugged Henry''s shoulders, and said softly: "Tieri, you have scored so much in these years, and you are the opponent on the offensive end. Once you mark the target, there are even a lot of teams that take killing tactics against you. I think it''s time for you to become more flexible and unpredictable."


    Henry didn¡¯t quite understand the meaning of Aldridge, and Aldridge bluntly said: "I will change the team¡¯s offensive tactics next season. I hope you can make the final transformation of the top stage of your career and be able to make Some sacrifices."


    In the summer, Henry will be 28 years old.


    Although 28-year-old is the peak period for most forwards, for geniuses like Henry, Irving, Raul, Piero, etc. who played well before 20-year-old, their peak period seems to be unsustainable. Longer, it is not that their peak period is short, on the contrary, Henry''s peak state from 99 years to this year, more than 5 years, has been a big miracle.


    He needs to transform, also because Millwall has a new shooter king rising.


    Just as Fanny wanted to make way for Ronaldo in the original history, Aldridge hopes that in the construction of a new generation of Millwall, Henry will play the role of a gangster on the offensive end, under his cover, reduce Kaka and C. Luo''s pressure makes it easier for them to shine!

 Chapter 1081： Biography and genius emerged

    Aldrich has built or transformed the team has developed a habit of gradually.


    He will not suddenly make major changes to the team. Especially for the old players, he hopes that there will be a transition in thinking first, not to let everything happen too mentally, to avoid the players from accepting.


    Take the training of players as an example. Before the reserve team practiced techniques, the reserve team began to practice tactics. Prior to the age of 21, it mainly focused on ball training. From the age of 21 to 24, it focused on strengthening physical fitness, and accumulated experience during the same period. It¡¯s a self-contained school, and it¡¯s easy to understand from top to bottom. There is no point that any work will be confused. Only for special talented players will a tailor-made growth training plan be developed, such as Ronaldo and Messi. The former is Physical fitness is stronger, the latter is the impact of congenital diseases.


    In the transformation of the old players, Larson has set an example. Nedved is also on this track. Southgate is an accident that directly disrupted the plan. As for Henry, although it has not yet given way But, after all, Audridge needed to give Henry a preventive shot in advance, so that he had a mental preparation.


    This is a transition, hoping to achieve a perfect transition in a subtle way.


    Millwall is an attacking team with a lot of blossoming, but it is not a team that kicks anyone who has the right to fire. The front line, the first attacking power on the offensive end, is definitely Henry.


    However, under the current lineup, it is conceivable that the first right to fire in the future will belong to Ronaldo. In the future, if all goes well, Messi will also enter the competition.


    To put it bluntly, the next crown prince at the core of the strike line is none other than C Ronaldo and Henry, who will give way to C Ronaldo.


    But in time, Aldridge is expected to be one season later, that is, to really make Ronaldo the core of the striker, and more than a year.


    In this time period, although Henry still occupies the core position, he has to consciously support Ronaldo, not to mention C Ronaldo, because Henry is still the core, so Audridge mentioned a word: sacrifice.


    In a good situation, more opportunities, and when the game environment allows, Henry makes some sacrifices to give Ronaldo more opportunities to perform, so that Ronaldo can find the feeling of a "scoring machine", or catalyze Ronaldo''s growth.


    This is not to deny the future of Henry in the club, but the positioning of his role on the court. Now he is the main player and C Ronaldo is the auxiliary player. In the future, the roles of the two need to be swapped.


    When the team celebrated winning and defending, Henry did not expect Aldridge to talk to him on such topics.


    In front of Aldridge, Henry was always calm, even with a smile, he seemed shy to converge, because he respected Aldridge from the heart.


    Although Aldridge and his peers, but outsiders said that Aldridge was his mentor, he never felt there was any problem.


    It was Aldridge who transformed him from a winger to a world-class center that made Europe tremble. It was also led by Aldridge. His club career was extremely glorious. He has already had four Champions Leagues so far. There are six champions.


    Not counted in the past four times as the Premier League''s top scorer, European Golden Boot, Golden Globe Awards and so on.


    He will be angry when he talks to him about changing to someone else, because it seems to be saying: You can¡¯t do it anymore, you have to replace someone to replace you!


    However, Henry did not feel dissatisfied with Aldridge. He would think from Aldridge''s standpoint.


    Millwall, a world-class giant.


    It can be said to be the strongest team in the world!


    Including the competitive strength of the national team.


    Such a team, many geniuses have been drained of blood can not stand out here.


    Not to mention the player in the main position?


    Ordinary clubs, and even a richer team lower than Millwall, their players may be able to play the main force for ten years, because the players seem to have been strong, but in fact?


    Manchester United''s Keane is old, but Keane still plays the main role, and the negative impact of it is to drag down the overall strength.


    In order to remain competitive and to make the team stronger, Millwall does not have to introduce newcomers, only strength is the main criterion!


    What Henry can understand is that in Aldrich''s eyes, C Ronaldo two years later, and himself two years later, how to make a choice is clear at a glance.


    Because Henry is getting older day by day, starting from the peak period and entering the later stage of his career, and Ronaldo is definitely moving towards the peak period!


    Henry is confident, he will not fall suddenly, but he can''t avoid him to make a big move on the court and easily become the opponent''s first marking and killing target. Therefore, the contribution he can play and make may over time. It is getting smaller and smaller, especially if he is still the core of the front line.


    So he has to give way, he has to be mentally prepared. In the future, when the new king comes to the top, he can still play the main role. If there are other players in the team who are stronger than him, then he will naturally retreat to the second line.


    This is not that Aldridge is inhuman, but that football itself is very cruel.


    In the face of the teacher who gave him almost everything, after a period of meditation, Henry gave Aldridge a very simple answer: "Boss, I will listen to you everything."


    Aldridge smiled and patted his shoulder, said: "I think you have a big heart, so now I tell you this in advance, in fact, the future is still far away, we are now focused on the present, are you ready? King of the killer There is another Champions League champion waiting for us this season! A week later, the Serie A giants who claim to be concrete defenders are coming to London, hehe."


    Henry shrugged and said, "There have been no gates that we cannot break through these years."


    Aldridge laughed at the news.


    ...


    The Premier League''s championship has ended, and Millwall and Chelsea''s decisive battle has become the focus of attention the next day in England and Europe.


    Among them are Millwall fans who hired planes to fly over Stamford Bridge, and fans rushed to humiliate Chelsea players to grab the headlines.


    But the most shocking thing is the result of Millwall defeating Chelsea with two goals.


    In a season where Chelsea performed exceptionally well, they still could not win the league title.


    Fleet Street, behind the cannon, naturally blamed the Chelsea league host and guest for losing 6 points in two games against Millwall.


    If Chelsea can even match Millwall in those two games, the two teams are now only 2 points away from the standings. If they can win one tie, the points will be the same. If Chelsea can win two games, then the other way round, They will lead Millwall by 4 points.


    The cruelty of the Premier League competition has made the outside world feel chilled, and also made the media lament that Manchester United Arsenal Liverpool has been completely derailed. They are too far from the top of the list, and even Chelsea, who is destined to get the runner-up, seems out of reach.


    The league champion has fallen, and Millwall began to shift all his focus to the Champions League.


    In the penultimate round of the league, Millwall played against Newcastle United at home, and Aldridge sent a full bench to allow the main players to recuperate.


    At the same time, in this round of Serie A, Juventus and AC Milan fought against San Siro, this is the battle of Serie A at the end of the season of the Kings Mountain!


    Lion King Stadium.


    The atmosphere of the home team fans is high, it seems that the attention has not been in the game since the opening, they forget to indulge in singing, praising the team''s greatness, praising the team''s heroes, of course, the king Audric here.


    Newcastle United experienced a coaching change at the beginning of the season. The former coach Bobby Robson retired gloriously. The magpie he led in the Premier League had a second record peak after Kevin Keegan, but it is a pity. The coach has tried his best to make Newcastle United into the Champions League, and his competitive strength is indeed too far away from the giants.


    And this season''s coach Sansones led Newcastle United, it seems that the Magpies returned to the liberation until the penultimate round, they only ensured the success of the relegation!


    Millwall has just ensured the success of the defending, Newcastle United has just ensured the success of the relegation. This battle was conducted at the Lion King Stadium. It is conceivable that the players of Newcastle United have no intention of fighting, and the substitutes of Millwall are Energetic, I hope to show my face at the end of the season and show myself more on the court.


    Newcastle United was not very resistant. In the 32nd minute of the game, Larson, who started today as a center, served as a forward fulcrum and made a good pass for the young teenager Messi. The latter quickly entered the penalty area. The rib, but calmly kicked the ball over the opponent''s defensive player, and then unexpectedly accelerated to the goal. When the goalkeeper just abandoned the goal, Messi did not see a clear shot, but Messi But the ball was shot towards the goal, the goalkeeper fell down and blocked obviously, the ball rolled past him, and then rolled into the goal!


    "Look at the performance of this elf, he is the second Ronaldinho. The perfect combination of man and ball is amazing! It seems that the ball is sticking to his feet, and the explosive speed is impressive. At the moment of a sudden stop and a sudden turn, the tall guard of Newcastle United was shaken to the ground. His name was Messi, a new generation of genius representative of Millwall. He was not yet 18 years old! There are such talented players in the team. No wonder even the Times is lamenting: Millwall will rule the era of UEFA! In the past, Ajax was dismembered by European giants because of the birth of Bosman¡¯s rule, and Millwall faced gold capital The impact of has also experienced difficulties, but after this season''s strong success, their rich image and influence have been further improved. No one will doubt that they will be the king of this era! Millwall fans! It¡¯s so happy that they can appreciate the best coaches and players in the world performing for them!"


    Messi has made 13 appearances for the first team this season, half starting and half substitutes, most of which are cup games. Counting today, he scored 5 goals and 3 assists. The efficiency is amazing.


    The players of the first team also know him well, lamenting his talent, everyone has a hunch, this little guy will be one of the indispensable core strengths of Millwall in the future.

 Chapter 1082： little monkey

    The league champion started. The opponents in the last two rounds of the final round are all relegation teams. They also announced that the relegation was successful. It is conceivable that the league will be a routine game, and the players will not be too real. Of course, the home battle should naturally be defended. Home honors, in case the chain is really lost, I am afraid the fans will be very unhappy.


    Newcastle United did not cause trouble to Millwall at Lion King Stadium, and Aldridge was also free to relax, as if relieved of his shoulders, sitting on the coach seat, quietly, watching young players with enjoyment and expectation Their performance.


    Messi, who will be 18 years old next month, is very optimistic at this time. Although he is not like Rooney of the same period, he is full of fighting spirit inside and outside the small beast field, as if he has the energy to vent. Not concealing his sharp edge, but Messi''s low-key and restrained posture that broke out in calmness, Audridge appreciated it because he was disgusted by impatient players.


    Sweating sweat on the court, every time he touched the ball, he hoped that Messi, who threatened to create threats, was full of spirits, without losing the team''s tactical discipline. This made the coaching staff quite satisfied with his performance this season, but only during the reserve league. There was one minor injury in which caused the coaching staff to be vigilant, thinking that it is still necessary to strengthen Messi''s physical strengthening and improve his protection awareness in the future.


    In the future of the original history, there is an argument among fans that Messi''s small body is unable to stand on the fierce confrontation of the Premier League.


    This question is debatable.


    Because in the same period, Wright Jr., who was born in 81, has already established a foothold in the Premier League. Although he has not entered the giants, Leeds United star Lennon, who is the same year as Messi, is a newcomer to the Premier League.


    In the future, Aguero, who is not much higher than Messi, will be a big fan in the Premier League.


    And like physical strength against the weak David Silva, Mata, Di Maria, ?zil, all came to the Premier League and joined the giants.


    Body is not equal to strength. In terms of game data settings, Messi¡¯s physical strength will be higher than many technical players in the future. What he lacks is weight, but for technical players, weight, and It must be controlled within a range.


    Taking the training goal of the future Brazilian king Neymar as an example, his training will strengthen physical confrontation, but will strictly control weight gain, why? Because weight gain will affect his flexibility and speed explosiveness.


    Aldridge didn¡¯t worry about Messi¡¯s foothold in the Premier League, which was unfounded.


    Fighting fierce and malicious killing are two essentially different concepts. Like Serie A, for a while, many teams have adopted killing tactics against genius forwards. This has led many serie A to try to prove that their genius forwards have been destroyed by injuries. It doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s physical fitness, it depends on whether the opponent¡¯s approach is in line with the spirit of competitive sports.


    The Premier League has the characteristics of the Premier League, but the Premier League is not a place where Longtan Tiger Cave is detached from the world. It is a superstar who can win the Golden Globe Award for many years in the future and be full of honor. It is unreasonable to be unable to gain a foothold in the Premier League.


    Strong, just strong, there is nothing to argue, just like if there is no history of Aldrich now, what would happen if someone asks him to play Barcelona in the Premier League led by Dream Guardiola? Aldrich¡¯s answer is only one: the champion.


    Messi is very active on the field. In addition to his opponent''s unwillingness to fight, Larson''s attraction of firepower to make him a wedding dress is also a key factor.


    "The two wingers Millwall, Glenn Carre and young teenager Messi, their dribbling breakthrough was too sharp, Newcastle United couldn''t resist it at all, and in the 74th minute of the second half, Messi cut the ball on the right After entering the penalty area, he unselfishly divided the ball to the point behind the goal. His pass was very calm, and he managed to grasp it just right. Glenchard sprinted to grab the point and easily pushed the ball to get started! 2:0, Millwall won After this game, the points will reach 99 points!"


    After the goal, Glenn Charles ran to find Messi. Messi after the assist showed a hearty smile, but he now has a slightly longer hair. To be honest, Aldridge feels that Messi with long hair does not It looks so good.


    Because he is short and has long hair, it does not give people a particularly elegant feeling, but instead looks abrupt.


    After applauding the players for goals, Aldridge made up his mind and suggested Messi to have a short haircut after the game, which made him look energetic and energetic.


    This is a personal hobby and varies from person to person, like Nedved''s hair is not short, but the blonde is very handsome.


    "Sir Hall appeared relaxed on the coach seat, and now his mind must be thinking about the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals. Now the public opinion on Fleet Street is preaching a historic glory, that is, Millwall players, very It may tie the record of Real Madrid¡¯s Gento Gento¡¯s six Champions League wins. If Millwall can successfully defend the Champions League this season, then there is no doubt that Nedved, Larsen, Bout and so on. In their honor book, there will be six Champions League titles, which will be recorded in history!"


    At the end of the game, Messi stood on the court with a smile, his eyes sparkling, as if the meaning was still unfinished. Larson came over to praise his status as the elder brother of the previous generation, and there was a little envy in his eyes.


    Messi is very young, but Larson is 34 years old.


    After seeing Messi¡¯s performance on the field, Larson had to lament that the years are stimulating, and his lingering years are past, and with the attachment and loyalty to Millwall, defending the sense of responsibility, He also believes that the future Messi is enough to provoke the beam and become the top beam of Millwall.


    Players with outstanding skills will definitely have fans faster. Messi has had many peer fans since the youth team, and some adults who have spent time watching low-level team games. They are amazing at Messi on the court. The performance, when Messi came to the first team and truly stepped into the professional arena, he will naturally support him.


    When Messi retired, there were many fans on the sidelines who wanted his signature. Of course, if Messiken took off his jersey and gave it to the fans, it would definitely make the fans even happier.


    Aldrich and Sansones shook hands in a courteous manner and then left the Lion King Stadium with applause.


    It was a day without much stress, and he had a great time.


    Because it was at home, he continued to stay in the club after the game, handled some paperwork, followed up with some club management matters, and then almost at five thirty, he left the office and went to the training base there.


    The Leo training base has been carefully divided, and a piece of football school has been opened in the east. Here, there are three echelons below U12.


    In layman''s terms, there are many students in the football school who are day students. Some parents send their children in the morning and pick them up at night. Others live in the dorms of the school because they are far away.


    Aldrich came to pick Burt. He waited for Burt at the school entrance just like many ordinary parents. Many parents would come up and talk to him.


    While waiting, Aldridge found that not far away, that is, the Leo Training Base youth team, there were many spectators on the periphery. He was curious. He just planned to walk over to look at it, but found that the crowd there had dispersed. , So dismissed the idea.


    "Sir Hall, hello."


    Aldridge heard someone calling him and looked back, suddenly stunned.


    Because he saw a teenager holding the ball in his arms looking at himself with a fanatical look.


    And this teenager looks exactly like, uh, a monkey...


    "Gares, Bell?"


    Aldridge blurted out subconsciously, in a questioning tone.


    The teenager wearing Aldridge who didn''t know the jersey was also stunned, and his expression was ecstatic, and asked, "Sir Hall, do you know me?"


    "what¡­¡­"


    Aldridge feels a little strange, probably this is the celebrity effect.


    Most ordinary people only know celebrities, and celebrities do not know him.


    Now the other way around, Aldridge suddenly called out his name, which flattered him.


    Aldrich formally reached out to him and smiled, "Why are you here?"


    This little monkey, Gareth Bale¡¯s hand holding Aldridge didn¡¯t let go, as if he wanted to finish what he wanted to say in one breath, as if afraid of Aldridge flying away, the speed was fast and fast anxious.


    "I came here on behalf of the school team to play a friendly match with the Millwall youth team. The game was just over. I wanted to come over to visit the Millwall training base. Coach Najib agreed with my request, so I came over and did not expect I will meet you here. I love Millwall. Look, my football, with Nedved¡¯s signature on it, was obtained at a Millwall Club community event when I came to London three years ago."


    There are always community activities in the club, and they are relatively regular. They are held regularly every month. The first team stars are obliged to participate in the off-site activities organized by the club. Most of them are of a public interest nature. Similar to the image project, but it is done well, Baili is harmless, not to mention reputation.


    Aldridge glanced at the football he put up with his other hand. Sure enough, there was an Nedved signature on it, but the signature has faded and blurred, and the football has also been repaired. It seems that he did not take it for collection. Is always used in training or playing football.


    Bell realized the embarrassment of holding the other hand without letting go, and scratched his head embarrassedly, looking quite shy.


    Aldridge smiled and asked: "How about the result of the game?"


    Bell sighed and said: "We lost, Millwall is really strong, there is a striker who can''t resist it. I heard that he is an Argentine, and he has strong shooting and strong..."


    Aldridge thought about it. At this time, he can still represent the youth team. Only 16-year-old Aguero.


    Somehow, Aldridge was very happy for Bell at the moment.


    Because he came a year late, if it was a friendly match last year, er, Messi and Aguero are on the youth team, it is estimated that he is not lamenting the loss at the moment, but may be a collapse...

 Chapter 1083： Little Mozart

    Bell has actually been on Millwall''s scouting network watch list.


    It''s just that the list is very similar to the list of active players filed by the FA, especially the young players.


    He was under 16 years old, and Millwall would naturally not list him as a very important signing target. To put it bluntly, he didn¡¯t even sign a professional contract. No matter how much he pays attention to him, it¡¯s very limited, let alone a rating, not Like Alves, Pepe, Neuer, at least entered the professional team, there are more than half of the professional or professional, and even the top field performance is easier for people to position and evaluate. For example, if the senior Millwall is assigned a scout task, then The scouts sent out must have been confused. He didn''t even know to investigate Bell, or what he secretly paid attention to, and what was the evaluation standard? Training? That''s too amateurish.


    Now that Bell is receiving football training at the Southampton Satellite Academy, he has reached a fork in his life, that is, the first professional contract is coming.


    He has his own power and can choose not to sign with Southampton, but that seems too ungrateful.


    This time coming to Millwall to play the youth team game, Bell also intends to come here to self-recommend for a trial training.


    Even though he is a Welshman, football is the boss in England, and England has no controversy.


    Millwall''s youth training base, which is known as the cradle of superstars, is a holy place in the hearts of many young people who dream of becoming famous!


    Young players who have not experienced the brutal competition in the professional league cannot understand the difficulties, but optimistically think that if they can stand out in Millwall, the player''s value and horizontal positioning will be very clear!


    Being able to play the first team in Millwall, I dare not say that it is definitely in the top 10 of the world, but at least the top 100 is no problem, this also needs to distinguish players from different positions. , But at least the top five must be guaranteed, like Kaka, De Rossi, Alonso, in fact, the ranking in the competition of players in the same position is rapidly rising. After this season, the top five dare not say that the top ten must be no problem.


    In other words, success in Millwall is a step forward, and if you go to Leverkusen, Valencia, Liverpool and other teams, even the boss of the team, the absolute core, but competing in the same position , May not even squeeze in the top ten in the world.


    Aldridge didn¡¯t know why Burt hadn¡¯t come out in a long time, so he took Bell to visit the football academy.


    Along the way, Bell seemed to be absent-minded. There were some gains and losses in his heart. He hoped to come to Millwall for a trial training. However, he was afraid of his failure but felt that if he succeeded, there were still new problems.


    That is, if he abandons Southampton, he will feel a little guilty in his heart.


    Audrica had a good look, and he asked Bell directly: "What do you have in mind?"


    The two returned to the entrance of the academy at this time. He said to Aldridge before leaving: "I want to come to Millwall for a training, but I don¡¯t know if I want to succeed or fail. If I succeed, I will leave Southamp I¡¯ve been there for a long time, but if I fail, I think I will be sad for a long time."


    Aldridge smiled and rubbed his head and said, "Your thoughts are normal, and I appreciate it too. In this way, you go back to sign with Southampton first, and then come to Millwall to try it out. And an extra layer of security."


    Bell stood there thinking for a long time before trying to understand what Aldridge meant.


    Let him go back and sign a contract with Southampton, which is a natural result of the club''s youth training system.


    After signing the contract, I will come to Millwall for training. If it is unsuccessful, he is still a Southampton player.


    If it succeeds, then Millwall wants to negotiate with Southampton Club.


    In this way, at least he does not need to be caught in the middle, and secondly, it will not cause controversy between the clubs.


    Bell was very emotional when he was sitting in the return bus. At least for the first time he met Aldridge. He thought Aldridge was a man who was very free-spirited, and he was not inconspicuous or careless.


    In fact, Millwall has disdain to do the kind of "use rules loopholes to dig people" thing.


    If the image of the club is bad and controversial, annoying things will come one after another.


    The absolute superstars dare not say they can buy it.


    But to say that talented players, they will not use means other than the rules.


    ...


    Many other children from the football school came out to go home with their parents. When it was getting dark, Aldridge hadn¡¯t waited until Burt came out. He just pulled out the phone and wanted to call the director of the football academy, but he saw Jones, a coach responsible for teaching Burt, followed Burt.


    Aldridge''s heart suddenly tightened, because he saw Burt''s body dirty, carrying a school bag in his hand, a bruise on his face, and a blood stain on the corner of his mouth, as if nosebleed wiped across the back of his hand. Put.


    Burt looked calm and looked in a bad mood.


    Yes, if he is angry, he will be silent to the point of madness, and will rarely explode to vent. Unlike other children, he will cry or tear his heart or go crazy.


    It seems obvious that this is a fight!


    Burt didn''t say hello to Aldridge when he came over, went straight to the parking lot, and waited beside Aldridge''s car.


    Jones came to Aldridge and sighed: "There was a little accident in the training game. The children all valued winning and losing too much. Burt''s fouls were a bit big, which triggered a conflict and punched each other. It should not be serious. Originally we thought Take Burt to the medical department, but he doesn''t want to."


    Aldridge nodded, patted Jones''s arm, and smiled: "Children fight, it''s common. I''ll go first, bye."


    After saying goodbye to Jones, Aldridge returned to the parking lot and got into the car with Burt. Aldridge drove away without a word.


    Halfway home, Aldridge turned to look at the low-haired Burt and asked, "Who won the fight?"


    "I, he cried."


    Burt subconsciously answered Aldrich''s question.


    "Then why are you unhappy?"


    Aldridge rarely criticizes his children. When he encounters problems, he always tries to "convince people" by reason. Perhaps because of his educational method, his two sons sometimes get into trouble, but they don¡¯t. There will be nonsense and repentance.


    Burt rubbed his face with both hands, probably hitting the wound with a punch. His mouth sighed with pain and pain, and said: "Because, I think, it seems that I actually lost."


    "Ah? Why? You beat him, he cried, shouldn''t you be the winner?"


    Burt bowed his head tangled, whispering: "It is true that I fouled too much and kicked him in the leg, I was wrong first, and then, I also beat him to cry, me, I am like a badass ."


    Aldridge raised his eyebrows and smiled silently, saying, "If you go to apologize to him tomorrow, maybe your villain is not too bad, is it?"


    Burt looked up in embarrassment and looked up at Aldridge.


    The children also have self-esteem and admit that this kind of thing does not have much psychological burden to the elders.


    "Why, are you scared?"


    Aldrich teased.


    "What can I be afraid of?"


    "What about your courage? Would it be wrong to have the courage to admit your mistakes?"


    "...I will try hard."


    After driving home, Aldrich found that Earl was not at home. Ewen said Melanie took Earl to take a new children''s advertisement, and took a leave for Earl, planning to take Earl out for a trip.


    Aldridge suddenly felt big.


    Earl was uneasy at school and belonged to a bad student, because he always tried his best to skip school. This is good. Melanie can help him take leave without leaving school. No matter what he does, Earl definitely agrees.


    After dinner, Burt went upstairs and returned to his room. Aldridge was sitting on the carpet in the living room. He chewed and watched his little daughter Bonnie playing an electric piano. Playing the piano with his fingers, and then listening to the tone melody, Aldridge just looked on and did not disturb her, but looking at it, he found Bonnie showing an unhappy expression, and finally pushed the keyboard away and walked in front of Aldridge , Anshou said to him: "This is not good, I want a big piano."


    Aldrich was confused and hugged her tenderly and asked, "What dad does not understand."


    Bonnie drew a circle with open arms and said, "It''s just a big piano."


    At this time, Yi Wen came from behind and also sat beside Aldridge. She snuggled beside him and smiled and said, "Take her to play in Anne''s house this afternoon. Anne''s daughter is four years old and she has to practice at home every day. Playing the piano, Bonnie, it seemed like she was fascinated. After playing for an afternoon in front of the piano, I clamored for a piano on the way back. I tried to buy her an electronic piano for convenience. It was only a toy. I didn¡¯t expect it. , She is not satisfied yet."


    Aldrich understood that it turned out to be a piano.


    No wonder Bonnie is getting more and more unhappy when she presses the electronic organ to listen to the melody.


    Audrey holding Bonnie casually said: "Then buy her a piano."


    "Hah? Wouldn''t you force her to practice the piano every day to torture her?"


    "No, it''s just a toy. She likes it. She doesn''t like it. If you put it there as a decoration, I think it might make the decoration in the house more elegant. And maybe she is a talented girl?"


    After speaking to Ewen, Aldridge picked Bonnie, kissed her face, and smiled: "Right, little Mozart."


    Bonnie asked naively, "Who is Mozart?"


    Aldridge and Yiwen smiled at each other.

 Chapter 1084： The mad lion wants to be king!

    Unspeakable Capello led Juventus to London with mixed feelings.


    The joy is because he led Juventus in the San Siro Lecco AC Milan in the battle of Serie A in the last weekend and scored an invaluable 3 points in the championship! Thus leading AC Milan in the standings.


    Worryingly, Millwall has won the championship ahead of schedule. Last weekend, the main focus was on recuperating and preparing for the second round of the UEFA Champions League semi-final. Juventus was a guest expedition, and the world was right and right. They seemed to be indifferent!


    But no matter what, Capello is still highly hoped by the Italian media!


    Because the other semi-final is AC Milan and Eindhoven to catch the fight, if AC Milan and Juventus both advance to the finals, then the Champions League final will be a matchup between Serie A giants.


    Aldrich was relaxed when attending the pre- UEFA press conference. Many media reporters were asking about Millwall¡¯s preparations for the game. Aldrich said in a terrifying way: "Before us The choice is simple: attack, score, and beat the opponent! So that we can advance to the final and fight for the successful Champions League once again."


    The 0:0 in the first round of the semi-finals will make the situation in the second round very delicate. Juventus are going to advance. If they don¡¯t play a penalty shootout, then they will definitely have to score, but Millwall may not just have to Goals, if they have the same number of goals as Juventus, Millwall will be eliminated, so in the score situation, Millwall may not be dominant, but external factors, home advantage, stadium atmosphere, preparation environment, etc. In all aspects, Millwall must have an absolute advantage!


    Crazy Lions fans easily relaxed watching the game in the league. When Juventus made a guest appearance at the Lion King Stadium, there were 60,000 spectators, of which 50,000 home team fans broke out to cheer for the tsunami. The Zebra Legion really felt A terrible pressure!


    This kind of pressure will make people feel suffocated, as if the beast trapped in the cage will gradually lose its wildness, be worn away and become docile and dare not resist.


    Aldrich and Capello formally shook hands for the second time. To be honest, he did not study Juventus too much, because Juventus is too stable!


    Capello''s conservatism makes him seldom risk or use the adventures, plus Juventus lineup is also first-class in Europe, in the Serie A environment, a conservative Capello, led even a lot of utilitarian Fans scolded Juventus for being ugly. Playing weak teams is simply cutting vegetables. However, it is difficult to play high-profile games in the European arena. If the opponents encountered on the promotion road are not strong, it is difficult for them to reach the semifinals.


    Aldrich researched his opponent, and the most fearful thing was that the opponent would give him some unexpected means, so when Stella Maggioni handed him a document with little information, he flipped it through. Afterwards, he sighed.


    He didn''t know how to prevent Juventus'' strange moves, because Capello had very few strange soldiers, or tactics that unexpectedly changed the battle situation. He could even say that Capello was "counseling"!


    Even if it is as simple and direct as Bobby Robson to withdraw the defender to the forward, "perhaps you die or Laozi completely collapses" the military risk, Capello is almost invisible.


    Therefore, if Juventus wins, it wins, but if Juventus seems to lose, it will eventually lose, and it will reverse the changes in the battle situation, especially in the aspect of head coach adjustment. Too many features.


    This is also more obvious when Capello later coached other teams. The league is very stable. After all, it is long-distance running, compared with stability. And like the knockout, whether it is the Champions League, or in international competitions, the European Cup, the World Cup, this Capello is not good at it. 90 minutes, 180 minutes, life and death, the more conservative coaches, the more often they fail to reach the finish line.


    Before the game started, the Millfield fans resonated with loud singing, which was like a war song, which made the Millwall players **** and murderous.


    Their eyes are sharp, their momentum is strong, and Juventus is not at all indifferent, even if the opponent''s lineup looks very powerful.


    They all understand that the Champions League this season has an extraordinary meaning for the club.


    Millwall has been in the Champions League for less than ten years, but with only one Champions League champion, he can become the team with the most Champions League wins. Although it is one of them, it is also extremely glorious!


    Therefore, Juventus is good, no matter who is, whoever stands in front of them will be crushed!


    The mad lion wants to be king, swallowing the mountains and rivers to sweep the world!


    "The game has just begun. Millwall, who is at home, did not try to test his opponent''s interest. After they kicked off, they quickly attacked. Ronaldinho broke through Zebina on the left, but took the ball back. , When Zebina chased him again, Ronaldinho passed the heel, beautiful! Ram turned into the penalty area offside and swept the ball towards the middle of the penalty area, Henry followed up to grab points! Wow! Buffon! Fortunately, Buffon left the goal line for the first time and rushed out. He expanded the frontal defensive area. Henry must choose to shoot directly under the interference of Cannavaro. Buffon blocked the ball with his body!"


    At the beginning of the game, Millwall quickly instigated the offense. The combination of the side and the center was in place. The full-back was also bold in assisting, and he looked very aggressive.


    Capello frowned on the sidelines. He could think that Millwall would explode at home with strong fighting power, but from the momentum point of view, this is very different from their scene in the first round!


    As if the previous confrontation, Millwall is a sleeping lion, and today, this lion is awake!


    The first round was a 0:0 handshake between the two teams. The Italian media is generally optimistic, but some people criticized Capello for being cowardly at home and missed the best chance to beat Millwall because of Milwaukee. That game was a substitute for the main half of the team.


    By the second round, if Juventus thought they could hold the ball for 120 minutes without losing the ball, it must have been a fool''s dream.


    Therefore, Capello''s starting lineup is mainly based on counterattacks. There are three players who are very threatening in front of the attack, Ibrahimovic, Trezeguet, two double forwards, and Piero hit the front waist behind them. .


    When Juventus got a chance to counterattack, Piero got the ball near the middle circle, just turned around and was forced to interfere by Alonso, although he was no longer the aura of the zebra prince, but the ball control technology at his feet was still very unique However, Alonso¡¯s defensive skills have also grown a lot during the same period, and snatching him close to his body will not give him a chance to pass, mainly due to procrastination and interference, but Juventus dare not dare to press it. The longer Piero has possession of the ball, the more unfavorable the offensive situation is.


    So he took the ball and passed it to Trezeguet. When Thiago Silva came close to defending Trezeguet, the secret confrontation between the two began. Trezeguet did not retreat to take the ball actively. Instead, he focused more on physical confrontation with Silva, which caused De Rossi to easily move laterally in front of him to take the ball away.


    De Rossi calmly split the ball to the right, Schneider put it on, and dribble forward quickly after winning the ball.


    After doing a two-on-one with Ronaldo, Schneider dribbled the ball inside and collided with Kaka again to hit the wall. Schneider unexpectedly entered the penalty area!


    The 31-year-old German is like an old demon on the court. His defense is leak-proof, and he can hardly find him making a fatal mistake. When attacking, he will always be unobtrusive, but at the critical moment, his opponent will burst out and feel The power of terror.


    Schneider, who entered the penalty area, pretended to make a pass, but kicked the ball back. His feet were very skilled, which caused Cannavaro to return to the center of gravity. At this time, Schneider calmly lightened the ball. Knocking lightly, C Ronaldo, who is also inward, rushed forward and drove the ball under his feet. He already had a shot angle, he did not hesitate to complete a shot!


    "Buffon made a wonderful save. He shot C Ronaldo''s shot at the near post to the bottom line! After standing up, Buffon was very dissatisfied with his teammates'' defense! He used roar to remind his teammates to cheer up! "


    After Ronaldo shot, he raised his hand to Henry in the middle to apologize. If he just passed the ball, maybe Henry could hit the empty goal, but Henry was watched by his fellow Thuram, and it is difficult to say that Ronaldo''s pass can be received by Henry. .


    Ronaldinho ran to take a corner kick. This time he did not take a tactical foot ball, but hung the ball directly to the front point of the penalty area. Nesta nodded a header to attack the goal. As a result, Thuram, who was marking him, jumped up. Nesta''s header hit Thuram''s face and bounced out.


    Alonso rushed up to catch the ball and grabbed the ball before Piero in the periphery!


    Boom, a strong long-range shot with a strong force.


    Almost in the blink of an eye, the ball flew out of the bottom line and Buffon was sweating.


    If the ball flies to the goal, I am afraid he will not respond.


    After Alonso shot, he saw the ball flying out of the bottom line, and he turned and ran back without any change in expression.


    Juventus launched an offensive, their offense did not seem to have much highlights, especially the Millwall player''s team rhythm is very good, the integrity remains perfect, when the frontcourt players are repressed, Juventus lacks forward Acceleration point.


    It is difficult to tear Millwall''s defense by passing the ball alone. He needs at least a very obvious speed impact to disrupt Millwall''s defensive rhythm, but unfortunately, they don''t.


    When Ibrahimovic received the ball and intended to turn, Nesta successfully intercepted it successfully. Nesta passed the ball to Alonso. The latter knocked the ball horizontally to the left without turning, and Ram took the ball along The wing was moving fast.


    When the Juventus defensive player focused on Ronaldinho, Henry unexpectedly pulled to the front of Ram and cooperated with Ram. When Ram was inserted to the edge of the penalty area, he suddenly knocked the ball back. In the middle of the road, Kaka sent another straight plug, Ronalce won the penalty area with speed, this time he passed the ball across the middle of the penalty area, but the passing strength was lighter, and Thuram returned to the defense directly. Kicked the sideline.


    Millwall''s offensive was higher than the other, and Juventus was in a restricted area, and Capello, who seemed very calm and expressionless, was already frightened.

 Chapter 1085： Destroy

    Capello can naturally see the characteristics of Millwall''s offensive tactics today.


    Millwall is clearly trying to beat Juventus'' wing!


    On the right, Schneider and Cristiano Ronaldo combined the front and back, speed shock, and the technology underfoot also passed.


    On the left, it looks like Ram and Ronaldinho, but otherwise it is a combination of Ram and Henry!


    When Millwall blew the wing, whether it was a winger undercut or a full-back empty-cut penalty area, he would directly face Juventus'' central defender, and then, Kaka and Ronaldinho ambushing behind the front line would Become a hidden attack point!


    Although Juventus was very conservative under Capello''s leadership, he really didn''t get into the bus position, but with their conservative style, most Serie A teams have difficulty shaking their defense, but they switched to Milwaukee. Here, they are not very difficult to defend, but the whole defense system is crumbling!


    After a few waves of danger in the Juventus restricted area, the experienced zebra army also roughly figured out Millwall''s offensive routine.


    It''s like a pendulum attack, with a wave on the left and a wave on the right, alternating, in order to give the full back a breathing space.


    No matter Ram, Schneider, of course, it is impossible to go back and forth endlessly. In rhythm, it is a wave of attack on the left, and then quickly switch to the right to attack another wave. The defender who does not attack can get a breather After waiting for Juventus to attack once again, he can almost recover to a new forward sprint.


    In contrast, Juventus''s offensive routines do not have too many surprises. This makes it difficult to put pressure on the Millwall defense line. With the passage of time, the more defense successes accumulate, the more confident the defensive players will be and the attacking side will be confident. , Will be a trade-off.


    Millwall mainly played on the offensive, hitting the Juventus line after line of waves, the rhythm was too fast to slow down!


    "This is where Millwall''s offensive power is strong. Locally, whether Henry, Ronaldinho, or C Ronaldo, their ability to get rid of explosive power in a small area is amazing, it is difficult for one-on-one opponents to limit them, Behind them, there are players like Ram, Schneider and Kaka who can also bring impact. It is no exaggeration to say that if it is not Juventus'' goalkeeper Buffon who performed well today, Millwall may have been early It broke the goal. Only 23 minutes in the first half, Millwall created 10 shots. Juventus did not seem to play at the same rhythm as Millwall. They were always a slow shot..."


    The narrator''s voice did not fall, Millwall once again launched a threatening offensive.


    When Henry pulled the edge, he immediately started the burst at the moment of receiving the ball, using the acceleration to get rid of Zebina laterally, and then hurling the ball to the penalty area, Thuram had to come up to block Henry''s progress, but Henry passed the ball behind him. Ronaldinho ambushed, after Ronaldinho drew the ball over Emerson, the situation became very clear. Ronaldinho drove the ball towards the penalty area and Cannavaro had to move to Ronaldinho to stop him.


    Ronaldinho suddenly controlled the ball and stopped at the spot instantly. It was this stop, and then he shook his ankle and made a pass. It was a master class, calm and intensely confusing.


    Cannavaro was also confused by Ronaldinho''s rhythm, and his body speed just slowed down. After Ronaldinho''s pass, the fast-paced Kaka has rushed into the penalty area and Cannavaro was directly embarrassed by Kaka from the side. In the past!


    The ball is behind Cannavaro.


    At this point, Buffon is attacking, and his choice is very correct. If he does not come out, Kaka''s shooting angle will be very large!


    However, the moment Kaka touched the ball, he made a choice that made Buffon desperate!


    Kaka pushed the ball gently to the far left corner of the goal, avoiding Buffon''s blockade, but it seemed impossible to roll into the goal, but the strength was very light, ensuring that when Henry kicked the horse The ball will not go out of the line!


    Thuram is old, and Henry''s explosive power is not something he can resist. When Henry outflanked in place, Thuram was already behind Henry. At a small angle, Henry firmly pushed the ball into the arch with his foot. Inside the goal!


    The Lion King Stadium is like a torrent of torrents, noisy!


    That was cheering for Henry, cheering for the mad lion!


    "Millwall scored! Henry''s state of injury returned to the team more and more bravely in the middle and late of the season. Today he scored again! This is a golden goal. Millwall led Juventus with a total score of 1:0. Now he only needs to ensure that the back line does not lose the ball, then they will step into the final venue of Istanbul!"


    After scoring a goal, Henry ran backward and ran to the side of the court, smiling at his teammates, pointing his finger at Kaka, praising his assist.


    The Juventus crowd will only discover at this point: they finally have a chance and take a breath!


    Buffon looked at Millwall weakly. Millwall and Juventus had faced each other in the past, but he had not come to Juventus at that time. He has been listening to the European media to advertise how powerful Millwall is. I still don¡¯t believe it. Especially after the first round, Milwall always felt that his name was not true.


    But today, after only 25 minutes of play, he felt extremely heavy pressure. Millwall led the game rhythm as if it was ruined, and Juventus was disconnected at both ends of the offense and defense. , And finally declared the city gate lost.


    If he wasn''t defending the goal and changing to another goalkeeper, Juventus might have fallen behind by at least two goals. Millwall''s offensive not only had a strong impact but also had a penetrating power that made the defending side feel weak and unable to resist.


    Capello is still the expressionless face, perhaps in his mind, the game situation has not yet reached the point of life and death.


    Because if Juventus can score a goal and equalize the score, then Juventus is actually equal to leading Millwall.


    1:0.


    It''s just a more passive one, but it''s not yet time to declare death.


    After all, unless Juventus wants to advance, it will have to score an away goal in 90 minutes, or 120 minutes, but now it is only shortening the 120 minutes to 90 minutes.


    Aldrich gestured to the players on the sidelines, meaning that they should not relax and don¡¯t think they can take the lead to sit back and relax and continue to put pressure on the opponent!


    And now after leading, Millwall''s offense should be more threatening and easier to create a threat offensive.


    Because Juventus completely cut off the idea of ??holding a penalty kick, must attack, must score!


    After the kick-off, Millwall''s attitude did not change at all, and he still firmly committed to attacking every time he held the ball!


    Compared to usual times, they will use transmission and control to shape the situation of the game. Today, this link is omitted, and the attack is completely aggressive!


    If Juventus were not a conservative team, they could have played a terrifying matchup against Millwall, because Millwall gave them such a chance, but Juventus did not catch Chances are, perhaps under Capello''s coaching, the influence of a season makes them think of football first, defensive supremacy, investing in offense seems to have stepped into the restricted area.


    Millwall, who completely dominated the game with an offensive look, looked like a crazy lion, while Juventus remained unchanged in conservatism, as if accepting his destiny.


    "This game was beyond our expectations. I thought it would be a pinnacle battle on Mars, but Juventus seems to be unable to fight back. Martin, what do you think is the reason? The two teams lineup Is there a huge difference in strength?"


    "It''s hard to say that Juventus'' lineup is much worse than Millwall. They have Ibrahimovic, Trezeguet, Piero, Cannavaro, Buffon and other top players. In terms of overall strength, Millwall, who is at home, must be stronger. However, it is not enough to make the game look like it is now. Juventus can only defend. It seems that they don¡¯t know how to attack at all. They can¡¯t master the rhythm, nor attack. In terms of speeding up, I think the tactical arrangement of Capello and Sir Hall is at work. Capello is paying for his conservatism. Sir Hall is taking risks, but his adventure is successful, Millwall It¡¯s not that Juventus didn¡¯t have a chance to attack. When Ram and Schneider both reached the Juventus penalty area, the audience could see that in Millwall¡¯s backcourt defense, there was a very weak area defense. , But what? Juventus have more players who dare to step forward to participate in the offense? No! They watched Piero caught by Alonso and De Rossi and unable to connect the offense, Ibrahimovic on the front line Shimovi? and Trezeguet cannot get support, how can there be performance?"


    "Oh, this reminds me of a saying that the best Trezeguet is the Trezeguet who played Millwall, and the best Ashley Cole is also the Ashley Cole who played Millwall. From a certain perspective, this may be to highlight the special role of the player in a tactical system, as well as the ability of the head coach to activate the player.


    "This is for sure. The same player, used by coaches of different football philosophies, cannot naturally play the same ability on the field, just like the German bilateral defender in the Millwall formation, the performance of the German national team. Obviously not as good as Millwall, on the one hand is the team¡¯s tactical system, on the one hand is the use of the coach to the players. Look, it is said that Ram is assisting again, and Sir Hall¡¯s flexibility and skill The power is used to the extreme."


    Just after 40 minutes in the first half, Ram drove the ball forward on the wing. After the half, he passed the ball to Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho began a magical performance and stepped on the bicycle and shook the card. Moranesi turned the ball in front of Emerson to get rid of the opponent''s pressure. When he came to the forward line, he passed the ball to Henry, and then quickly ran into the left rib of the penalty area.


    Juventus players thought that Henry would make a kick for Ronaldinho, so Ronaldinho could succeed in the offside, so Thuram and Zebina retreated, blocking the left space of the penalty area, and Cannavaro came up. Don''t give Henry a chance to turn around.


    At this point Juventus'' defenses were all retreating, but Henry passed the ball back to the area behind Ronaldinho.


    There, Ram, who came up with an assist, appeared unexpectedly, which surprised Juventus'' defensive player. Ram stopped the ball, observed the situation in the penalty area, and then directly passed the ball to the penalty area without interference!


    The ball flew into the air and brought a brilliant arc in rotation.


    Everyone on the Juventus line of defense did not expect that Ram¡¯s goal was not passed to Ronaldinho or Henry, but to the right side of the penalty area, where it was originally a no man¡¯s land and a side The gap between the defender and the centre-back is empty. After Cannavaro goes up, the gap becomes more open.


    There was a figure wearing a mad lion jersey, rushed here when the ball fell, and jumped high, waiting for the opponent''s defensive harassment, he jumped up and tried to head the ball, it seemed that he was off the ground, It seems to be flying!


    Cristiano Ronaldo!

 Chapter 1086： Proud of

    At this moment, the screen seemed to be frozen, and Ronaldo, who had an amazing jumping power, took off and used his forehead to hit the ball falling from the air. On the stands and on the side of the court, countless light spots flickered. .


    This visually shocking and impactful picture is deeply rooted in people''s hearts and makes people yearn for it. It is like replacing C Ronaldo who has risen from the sky, touching the sky, overlooking the world, and destroying the enemy!


    boom!


    Cristiano Ronaldo''s header hit the goal, and the ball flew towards Juventus'' far goal post like a shell, which was the opposite direction of Buffon''s position!


    Buffon responded quickly, made the best effort to move horizontally, and then jumped to try to turn the ball out of the palm with one palm. However, it was a little short of the distance of a slap. In Buffon¡¯s eyes, time seemed to freeze. The ball at his fingertips is close to him, but it is like a world away!


    Finished!


    Buffon closed his eyes, and at that moment Wan Lai was silent, just like the death of the soul, the extinguishment of the fighting spirit, and the desire to win completely collapsed!


    What can such a Millwall beat?


    What can you resist?


    This is the real Millwall!


    A mad lion crawling in front of all Europe!


    The thought suddenly returned to reality, and the deafening cheers of the Lion King Stadium sounded like a jubilant celebration in the world, which is yearning, but as an opponent, it has a mixed heart.


    Cristiano Ronaldo''s eyes stayed on the ball''s flight trajectory. When he saw the ball flying into the goal line, he made sure that his header had penetrated into the opponent''s goal. His face began to show a smile, but he did not expect that in the double At the moment when the foot was about to fall, his whole person lost his center of gravity, and then his body fell slightly, and the outside of his right foot touched the ground. When the pain came, he fell to the ground and he turned his head to look around. Cannavaro was in He staggered around for two steps before stabilizing his body.


    The eager Cannavaro couldn''t stop the car. When Ronaldo landed, he rammed Ronaldo, but it was very light, but caused Ronaldo''s unsteady support foot and fell. Moreover, his ankle sprained!


    "OMG! C Ronaldo''s incredible header, his bouncing power is really amazing! We can see the contrast from the playback screen, he seems to be more than half of Cannavaro after jumping! This goal was scored It''s really beautiful and beautiful, breaking Buffon''s ten fingers, Millwall leads 2:0! Eh, eh, C Ronaldo didn''t get up to celebrate, he also fell in the Juventus penalty area, it seems that Cannavaro is in C The collision after Ronaldo''s header may have caused C Ronaldo''s injury! Millwall''s team doctor has already run into the court."


    Aldridge originally held his fists high on the sidelines to celebrate, but after Ronaldo fell to the ground, his smile disappeared immediately and became a little nervous.


    He immediately let the team doctor enter the field to find Cristiano Ronaldo. He knew that with Cristiano Ronaldo''s flamboyant personality, he scored in the Champions League semi-finals. This **** guy definitely got up to celebrate the first time, even if the opponent fouled, but the ball It''s all in. Is he going to let the referee blow the opponent''s foul and invalidate the goal?


    Therefore, Ronaldo did not get up, indicating that he must be unable to get up!


    The referee first asked Cristiano Ronaldo to receive medical treatment from outside the court and resume the game as soon as possible.


    The morale of Juventus has been a bit low. Capello''s expression on the sidelines became depressed. Before the first half, the score was two goals behind.


    He doesn''t seem to have a very good way, and it can even be said that compared to the first round, he has made new arrangements in the platoon formation. There are three attackers in the front field, just want to catch Millwall In the counterattack, Millwall controlled the game rhythm very quickly. Juventus was completely unsuited. Millwall was like a fish, but Juventus was at a loss.


    With one less player on the field, Millwall expanded the score again. They temporarily converged their offensive posture. While Cristiano Ronaldo was still receiving treatment on the sidelines, the overall formation retreated. Juventus'' attack was ended by Schneider on the right. , Millwall began to control the ball steadily, to avoid losing the ball in a hurry when the number was at a disadvantage.


    On the sidelines, Ronaldo and the team doctor had a dispute, which led to Aldridge having to leave the coaching command area to walk over to understand the situation.


    Ronaldo, who was sitting on the ground, appeared irritable, and he was giving orders to the team doctor.


    "I''m fine, I''m going back to the game, and give me pain soon!"


    The team doctor no longer ignored Cristiano Ronaldo. When Aldridge came, the team doctor covered his mouth and said to Aldridge: "His ankle sprain is not a minor injury. It is conservatively estimated that there will be a truce for half a month. Keep playing."


    Aldridge nodded deeply. He walked over to help Ronaldo. Ronaldo, who was out of control, suddenly stopped talking and his eyes were a little wet.


    Originally scoring a second goal for the team, so that the score became safe, Ronaldo was overjoyed, but unexpectedly, overjoyed and sad, a momentary reversal occurred.


    This season, he has become the main force of Millwall. He can''t be said to be the first striker in Europe, but the top three wingers in Europe are no problem. Seeing that he helped the team make a contribution to the finals. , Will soon go to Istanbul with his teammates to pick up the club''s sixth European Champions Cup!


    That was the title that made Millwall the most throne in Europe to win the Champions League!


    The significance is extraordinary!


    However, he fell here, in the semifinals.


    When the team doctor told him to take a truce for at least half a month, he couldn''t accept it, it was totally unacceptable!


    Aldrich can definitely understand Ronaldo''s mood. Over the years, he has understood Ronaldo''s ambitions and is eager to get all the enterprising spirit.


    For true geniuses, the only difficulty that can stop them is injury.


    At this moment, Aldrich hugged Ronaldo, staring at the actual emotion in the silence. He said softly: "Cristiano, calm down, clear your mind, don''t think about anything, listen carefully, listen."


    Ronaldo was also staring at Aldridge. He did as he did, seeming to eliminate all murmurs, and in his world, a voice slowly sounded.


    From small to large.


    Gradually, deafening!


    "Cristiano Ronaldo!"


    "Cristiano Ronaldo!!"


    "Cristiano Ronaldo!!!"


    C Luo suddenly opened his eyes and turned his head to look around the audience. Yes, the voice came from the stands, from more than 50,000 Lion fans. They shouted in unison, shouting C Ronaldo¡¯s name, cheer him, cheer him, cheer him up proud!


    Cristiano Ronaldo no longer resisted the team doctor''s decision. He lowered his head and the tears in his eyes fell to his face. After Aldridge and the team doctor helped each other, he jumped on one foot and slowly walked to the home team bench.


    "20-year-old C Ronaldo has a will beyond the ordinary people''s imagination. No one can question his desire for honor. The injury will definitely cause a mental blow to the player. C Ronaldo helped the team score a second goal, but To retire due to injury, we saw him crying on the sidelines, maybe the situation was worse than we saw, this guy must hope to help Millwall to win the sixth European Champions Cup, tens of thousands of home team fans are in high Calling C Ronaldo''s name, he is already the new darling of the Lion King Stadium. Fans are using shouts to convey their love. Today''s story should be just the beginning for C Ronaldo. Because he is only 20 years old, he still has something to look forward to. Long-term future."


    Ronaldo came to the bench and received further treatment from the team doctor. He hoped to sit here and watch the game until the end of the game to ensure that the team can advance to the final.


    "Before the end of the first half, Millwall made a substitution. C Ronaldo left the field due to injury. Villa replaced him. The depth of Millwall''s lineup will not be worrying, but Juventus is on the side. The lack of key people to change the game, and then again, what troubles Juventus may not only depend on who flashes and who changes destiny, but what they look unimaginable as a whole, even if two goals fall behind, They have not undergone a huge gesture change!"


    The first half ended in a calm wave, Millwall led Juventus by two goals at home.


    In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought.


    Aldrich looked ecstatic on the sidelines. He expected Capello to create some surprises for him, but perhaps he was immersed in the stalemate of Serie A for too long. Capello became more conservative, so conservative that he would rather be a sleepy beast. Unwilling to swear to death.


    Such conservatism made Aldridge confused, and Millwall completely changed the attitude of the game in the second half.


    They are no longer aggressive, no longer risk, but use the pass control to shape the game situation, attack in the most stable situation, even if the attack is not successful, it will not give the opponent a clear opportunity to counterattack.


    With the passage of time, it seemed that 20 minutes had passed since the second half, Aldridge turned back to the coach seat, pressed one hand on the ceiling, and bowed his head to ask Boas softly: "Will Capello have a backhand? Tell me, Can you see what Juventus is planning?"


    Aldridge even self-doubt because of Capello''s "inaction": Is it true that I am blind to everything? Is it actually a subtle change that is not visible to the naked eye, but I didn''t notice it!


    If Capello can change the formation, or change to a player who clearly has an offensive signal, Aldridge will not have this self-doubt. Now, he wants to listen to the coaching staff¡¯s opinions. In others, like Bo Aspen, Blank, and Stella Maggioni, from their perspective, can they detect the potential irregularities of Juventus.


    However, Boas looked at each other, everyone did not dare to speak.


    Because they didn''t realize that Juventus had any plans to fight back.


    But I dare not say this easily. What if they are negligent in their observation? Aldridge was given a wrong view, which led to a huge turn in the back game, and Millwall was hated, so this responsibility is too great!


    Aldrich scratched his head. Since the coaching staff was silent, he actually gave him an answer.


    Okay, Capello, really "counseling"!

 Chapter 1087： No i refuse

    Capello''s "counseling" does not mean that Juventus players on the court are also willing to recognize "counseling".


    When the game time passed 75 minutes, Juventus players couldn''t hold back and began to take the initiative to attack.


    As a result, they just attacked, but Millwall hit a fast break.


    This fast break was extremely simple. Silva cut off Trezeguet''s ball, and De Rossi handed the ball to Ram, who passed diagonally to Alonso who was running forward. Alonso then quickly The ball is passed to Henry on the line.


    When the ball came in front of Henry, his advantage over Juventus forwards was that he judged the situation. When the ball was controlled, the ball dribble broke through. When the ball shouldn''t stick too much, the ball would be properly divided.


    This time he did not wait for the opponent to **** and took the initiative to withdraw the ball to Ronaldinho.


    Millwall''s fast attack was simple and effective, and he opened the deep space after passing the ball to Henry. At the same time, Henry returned the pass, which gave Juventus a defensive player with a rhythm contrast. Ronaldinho took the ball forward , Just taking advantage of the difference in rhythm to the extreme.


    Ronaldinho easily broke through Emerson, dribbling one step laterally in front of Cannavaro to make room, and then sent a delicate straight stop. The successful anti-offside Villa formed a single pole, facing Buffon, Billy Ya looked very violent and directly hit the door.


    Buffon''s ten fingers off with violent volley!


    "Villa who came off the bench locked Millwall''s victory! At 3:0, Juventus had no chance. They said it was difficult to find a goal at the Lion King Stadium. I am afraid that even a shot opportunity is difficult to find! Now, Millwall can look forward to their club¡¯s sixth UEFA Champions League trophy! It is only the first in history, only the last final in Istanbul!"


    Aldridge finally confirmed after seeing Villa¡¯s goal: I am really suspicious!


    Juventus wanted to attack, but in Millwall''s tight defense, their offense was really speechless.


    At this time, Aldridge remembered a sentence, a sentence spoken in the contemporary history.


    "If the Champions League is a league, then the two teams with the highest chance of winning are Chelsea and Juventus."


    What is the supporting foundation of such speech?


    stable!


    Juventus and Chelsea, both **** too stable!


    So they performed terrifyingly in the league.


    However, leagues and cups are completely different.


    The reason why the cup is accidental is that fate will be decided within 90 minutes, or 180 minutes.


    For a team that is too stable, it is difficult to make a surprise change.


    This "stability" does not refer to the record, but refers to the attitude of the game, the team''s tactical style.


    Just like the Chelsea League points are very high, but no one will say that Chelsea is playing beautiful football, how gorgeous and pleasing their football, no one would think so!


    Even the reason why Abu fired Mourinho later, there are factors that Chelsea has not been built into one of the representative teams of beautiful football.


    There are gains and losses, when the outside world is constantly praising Aldridge, saying that he is adventurous and flexible, some people will say that such bravery needs to take great risks!


    Just like playing Juventus today, Millwall gave the other party a good chance, but the other party did not take the initiative to seize this opportunity.


    But think about it the other way around. Are those stable teams really invulnerable?


    No, in fact, such a team has a very low fault tolerance rate!


    How low is it?


    Once you are the first to make mistakes, there may be no possibility of a turnaround in the short term!


    Because your team is too stable, not good at taking risks, not good at changing, to make positive and effective changes!


    Mourinho was killed four times by Aldridge in one season!


    In the final analysis, in terms of strategy and tactics, the details of the game, why is such a stable Chelsea unable to collapse?


    It is because they made the first mistake!


    Mutu takes drugs!

 ~： The first round must score at home!

    In the second round, we must take the initiative to score behind


    In the final battle of the league, they are also strategically disadvantaged!


    They are stable, but they are the first to make mistakes, so when they want to make up for the mistakes, they become full of loopholes, and once they fall behind, it is too difficult for them to turn over!


    In the league, if there is no Millwall, Chelsea''s mistakes in one or two games may be ignored by the brain, even if one or two games are wrong, there is still a chance to make up for them later.


    And like in the Champions League, Juventus lost his first ball and wanted to reverse but was at a loss. It is a typical phenomenon.


    Aldrich himself can¡¯t talk about how he tends to be stable or flexible. It¡¯s just that the card in his hand forces him to make the most correct decision. That is, he must be tactically rich and flexible. Luo and the talents of these players? Where is their creativity useful?


    When the whistle sounded at the end of the match, Juventus had already collapsed, and when the team lost the third goal, they knew that the UEFA Champions League trip came to the end, one step away from the final, but suddenly died.


    Capello is a strange person, unsmiling, even when he fails, people can''t see that he has a strong disappointment. When shaking hands with Aldridge, the two just separated after a short eye contact and ran each thing. .


    Juventus left the Lion King stadium with the loss of drinking the semi-finals. They can now concentrate on the league. The good news is that in another semi-final, AC Milan eliminated Eindhoven and entered the final. This means that Juventus will be more focused in the league, which itself does not exist in England, because the Premier League will end in mid-May, and on May 25, the Champions League final will come.


    However, the final battle of Serie A is actually on May 29, that is to say, the Champions League final is ahead, the Serie A final is behind, AC Milan needs to prepare for the Champions League final in this process, naturally the energy will be scattered, let Juventus fishermen benefit.


    Aldrich walked into the field after shaking hands with Capello. He embraced the disciples on the field and thanked the fans in the stands. When he left the field, Aldridge, who was at the forefront, and rows behind him The head-up Milwall generals formed a classic picture.


    They are walking towards the player channel, but the spirit is exceptional, the eyes are sharp, the expression is full of war, like the direction of walking, is to go to Istanbul!


    The entrance of the player''s passage seems to be strange and unpredictable, hiding a piece of nothingness.


    Waiting for Millwall to unravel the mysterious veil, set foot on the battlefield they are very familiar with, win the victory, win the honor, make them more transcendent, let the crazy lion load into the new historical record!


    After the game, Fleet Street gave Millwall the "rule-level" evaluation of the game.


    The Italian media mourned.


    Even professional media is vulgar at this time, they come up with a simple transposition comparison to predict the Champions League final.


    AC Milan just lost to Juventus 0:1 in San Siro.


    Juventus turned around and lost to Millwall a shocking 0:3 away.


    So in the Champions League final, when AC Milan and Millwall play against, who has a better chance of winning?


    With such worries, the Italian media began to quarrel again.


    The first is the lack of consideration of the schedule of the Italian Football Association.


    Shit, it''s time to play in the Champions League final, but the league hasn''t finished yet!


    The AC Milan League championship was behind to Juventus, but there is no chance at all. You let AC Milan really go to double-line championship?


    Originally, it was normal to compete in two lines.


    But the general strategy is "to be safe when you are outside!"


    Get the league done first, and then go out to fight in Europe!


    But now AC Milan has to go to Istanbul to compete with Millwall with their longing for the league title. Of course, they have the option to simply give up the title to Juventus before the Champions League final. In that case, They can go to Turkey without any thought.


    Aldridge turned a blind eye to the quarrel in the outside media.


    The league is about to usher in the final battle, the Champions League has also successfully advanced to the finals, stealing a half-day leisure, and when taking a break for the team, he and Yi Wen took the little princess Bonnie to the playground, spent warm and a happy day.


    At dusk, he drove back to the door of his home and unexpectedly saw a car parked in the outdoor parking space of his house. Some people were waiting for him by the car.


    Southgate.


    "Hi, Gareth, why don''t you call when you come?"


    "Tomorrow the team has training, you will surely go home at night, boss. If you don¡¯t come back, it doesn¡¯t matter. I¡¯ll find you again tomorrow. I don¡¯t have time.


    Aldridge invited Southgate to come in and chat. He didn''t know what Southgate had to do with him, but Southgate suggested that the two take a walk in the surrounding park.


    Aldrich probably guessed that the other party might have more serious topics to talk to himself, so he walked into the park with Southgate.


    This is the coming season of midsummer. The scenery should be warm and fiery, but because of the depth of Southgate, the scenery in Audridge''s eyes is quite dismal, probably because Southgate is old.


    The two walked half a circle along the park road, and Southgate remained silent, as if pondering something, Aldridge did not want to make the atmosphere more and more heavy, as if the air would be frozen.


    He took the lead and said with a smile: "Yes, there is one thing to tell you, we have applied to the FA to award you the championship medal at the league finale. There should be no major problems and we can pass it."


    Southgate played only 7 times in the league this season, and even with the closing game, there are only a maximum of eight, so Millwall has to apply to the FA for accommodation and award medals to Southgate.


    According to Southgate''s contribution to the England team, the FA will certainly not be uncomfortable.


    It was a good thing, but Aldridge didn''t expect that after he finished, Southgate seemed to wake up suddenly and replied: "No, boss, I refuse to receive the medal."

 Chapter 1088： When the curtain call arrives

    Southgate¡¯s refusal didn¡¯t shock Audridge, but he nodded his head in silence after a moment of silence.


    This is not a unique behavior.


    Players have strong self-esteem. Mo said that Southgate was full of honor. When Blackburn won the Premier League championship, the team¡¯s tough guy David Batty refused to receive the championship medal because of the league¡¯s absence for most of the season. Southgate The situation is the same as Batty.


    It is nothing more than wanting to keep the past season in memory with the image of "mixed champion".


    Aldridge is just to avoid the embarrassment of Southgate at the awards ceremony. After all, the first team basically has the championship medals except for the third goalkeeper. Southgate does not. The captain will inevitably meet Be lonely.


    It was getting late, the two almost circled the park, Southgate suddenly stopped, staring calmly at Aldridge, and said softly: "Boss, I am going to retire after the end of the season."


    He told Aldridge this decision in a calm way, and Aldridge frowned and replied: "I think you should think about it again, Gareth, there is no deception or concealment between us, now Let¡¯s talk openly and honestly, yes, your competitive level has dropped significantly after a serious injury, it must be that you think you can¡¯t fight for the team, so you decided to hang up boots, but I think, like you are changing clothes Highly respected players in the room can help the team in other ways, even if it is just a few words of experience, it is very helpful to some young players on the team. I hope you stay and stay for another season. ."


    Southgate shook his head and still said in a light voice: "Boss, if things were last season, I would choose to stay, but this season, we faced the challenge of a strong enemy like Chelsea in our league. , But the team did not have me, and still defended successfully. Boss, at this point, I think we have different views. Young players like Cristiano, Thiago, Xavi, etc., they are not Ordinary players, they have super psychological qualities, their growth is much faster than ordinary players, and in the past two years, the weather has also withstood the test, they do not need an old captain who is old and old Discipline, they need to show themselves, they need to be alone, real, thorough, to become the backbone of the mad lion! So, I think it is time to leave."


    Aldridge looked at Southgate¡¯s calm and serious eyes. In fact, Southgate was right.


    Before they won the honors by themselves, most of the young players will pick up their tails and listen to the teachings of their predecessors. However, in these two seasons, last season was a double crown, and they have defended the league this season, which gives them confidence. Further promotion, saying that they are young and age, but mentally, they must have become a completely independent "person".


    Aldrich actually understood these reasons.


    The reason why he wanted to stay Southgate may be just a nostalgia between the master and the disciple.


    Eleven years ago, Aldridge brought Southgate from the Crystal Palace to the Lion¡¯s Cave Stadium.


    That was the first player he signed.


    After 11 years of ups and downs and rainbows, this mentor and apprenticeship on the green field finally reached the end of fate.


    How can he be free and easy?


    Moreover, Southgate did not have a glorious moment to end, it was more like quietly retreating, which made Audridge very uncomfortable.


    His first captain, devoted his youth and loyalty to the team, how could he not give Southgate a decent curtain call performance as much as possible?


    But reality is so ruthless.


    Aldridge was not a mother-in-law, and since Southgate had decided his mind and was reasonable, he could no longer retain.


    He stepped up and gave Hughesgate a soft hug, and smiled after letting go: "Well, then I will prepare a retired farewell game for you."


    Southgate smiled and shook his head: "It doesn''t have to be this way. I''m just a regular player. It''s not worth playing retired games."


    Aldrich shook his head and said, "No, this is your selfishness. You are leaving, and you have to say goodbye to everyone, and the fans will not agree. Say, what is your wish?"


    Southgate''s eyes flickered, revealing the color of recollection, and muttered: "The memory of the past 11 years has begun to be a little vague, but I always want to see my old friends again."


    "Okay, then in your retirement game, please bring back all the former people, as well as the England national team, I came forward, rest assured, it will be very lively by then."


    As he walked out of the park, Aldridge asked him again: "Did you think about what you would do after retirement? If you want to develop in the football world and be a coach, stay with Millwall, or play sports on the team. Director? There are quite a few retired veterans who like to write columns or commentary guests, what about you?"


    Southgate chuckled and said: "I have no idea yet, but I think it will definitely not be unemployed, as the boss said, and most of the time, I can also go to Dangdang to explain the guests to run a trick."


    "Okay, no matter what you want to do, I will support you. When you have a decision, tell me, don''t see me. There is something I can help with a word."


    Southgate nodded with a smile.


    The two returned to Aldridge''s door, and Aldridge saw Southgate drove away.


    In fact, Southgate does not need to consider income issues after retiring. Although the past 11 years have not been the prime time for modern football professional players to earn income, but through 11 years of wealth accumulation, there are agents Andrew to help manage money, plus Some small investments made by Sgate and his teammates have yielded very impressive returns over the years, and can be used for long-term investment. So what he does after retirement is to relax and choose and face, or it is a This pure passion is invested in a new career.


    On May 15, the Premier League ended.


    This year''s Premier League finale, the top four teams have no suspense.


    The champion, Millwall.


    Runner-up, Chelsea.


    Champions League qualification, Manchester United and Arsenal.


    But there is still suspense in the relegation situation at the end of the list.


    The unlucky West Brom played Millwall at home in the final round. They must win to ensure ashore. If they lose or draw, there is a high probability of relegation.


    Also participating in the relegation battle are Crystal Palace and Norwich.


    At the pre-match press conference, Aldridge took Southgate to attend, Southgate became the protagonist, he announced to the outside world that he would retire after the end of the season!


    At the end of the press conference, all the reporters present on Fleet Street stood up and applauded Southgate.


    He is the captain of England''s second World Cup championship!


    I believe that on the day Beckham retires, he will also receive high-standard praise and tribute, because Beckham, the European Cup champion trophy, was picked up as the captain.


    By the end of the battle, almost all the headlines on Fleet Street were related to Southgate.


    Greatness, legend, meritoriousness, and so on are beautiful words to explain Southgate''s contribution to Millwall and the England national team.


    There is an inventory of Southgate¡¯s 11-year legendary track at Millwall.


    Some sorted out the representative games of Southgate highlights.


    It also summarized the legendary journey of Southgate from the sinner to the captain of the hero in the English national team, and even finally withdrew from the national team at the European Cup, resulting in the choice to retire when he was under 35 years old. Typical English player''s **** spirit.


    The market for relegation teams is definitely narrow, so when news of Southgate''s retirement dominates the headlines, no one cares about the fate of relegation teams.


    "Times" analysis is correct: in terms of Southgate''s current state, it is difficult for Sir Hall to list him as the starting player of the Champions League final. Of course, if the game of the Champions League final is relatively smooth, Millwall can Make sure to win the championship, then Southgate will appear in the UEFA Champions League final as a substitute. As a curtain call for him to bid farewell to the green field, the UEFA Champions League final is unpredictable, only the league finale is irrelevant. This game, Not surprisingly, it will be the last start of Southgate on behalf of Millwall in the official game!


    When Millwall came to West Brom¡¯s Hawthorn Stadium, the home team was not only fans, but even the players were very depressed.


    They want to relegate!


    However, there are a lot of visiting team fans in the stands. Even if the price of the scalper ticket is high, there are still many crazy lion fans who have to endure the pain and are going to watch the game, and even many crazy lion fans are sitting on the home team fans. In the middle of it, they could not make them timid, still holding a slogan to bless Southgate in the stands.


    At the Hawthorn Stadium, some fans of the Lions in the stands held high jerseys with the Southgate jersey number, while others held high slogans with praises and blessings.


    Fan organizations have been singing their love and blessings for Southgate since the opening.


    West Brom coach is an old friend of Aldridge. When he just stepped into the green field 11 years ago to become the coach, in the then Bundesliga competition, the current West Brom coach is Middlesbrough, led by Aldridge Millwall competed for the biggest opponent to qualify for the Premier League. Although no one thought that at the time, at the time, Millwall pressed Middlesbrough to win the Champions League and rushed directly into the Premier League.


    This old man is Brian Robson.


    Robson took over West Brom in November last year. His results were relatively bleak. Two months after he took office, he won the first Premier League game. West Brom has been struggling in the relegation whirlpool. Now comes the final battle. West Brom ranks still In the relegation zone.


    Brian Robson still shook hands with Aldridge with great enthusiasm before the game started, and took the initiative to greet Southgate wearing the captain''s armband in the player channel.


    Only when the game was about to start, Robson''s expression changed, trying to hide the bitterness inside.

 Chapter 1089： After nine years

    "The final round of the English Premier League in the 2004-2005 season is about to start. The defending champion Millwall won their seventh Premier League title two rounds in advance. Today¡¯s game would have been a routine, but due to yesterday, playing for the team for 11 years Captain Southgate announced the retirement of his boots after the end of the season, making this game very special. Since Millwall still has to play in the Champions League final ten days later, for safety reasons, Millwall is a guest at Hawthorn Stadium. A large number of substitute players were sent, and Southgate started as the captain. This scene is really a long time gone."


    "Martin, we should talk about the situation of relegation. In the standings, Norwich, Crystal Palace, West Brom, and the three teams are all likely to be relegated. There is only one place that can eventually escape the birth. West Brom has bad luck. They met Millwall, but the good news is that the Millwall League has won the championship and will not die with them. At the same time, they have the advantage of playing at home, and Millwall is preparing to prepare for the Champions League final. All are substitute players."


    "Andy, are you kidding me? Look at Millwall''s bench lineup, the Danish national team''s main force Glenn Carr, the Czech midfielder Nedvide, the Swedish main striker Larson, and Villa, Pedretti, Ramall, Balzali, Neil, Baines, this bench lineup is more luxurious than the absolute main lineup of the Premier League midfielder team! Will West Brom really be happy?"


    "Why not? Would they rather face Millwall, who started with Henry, Ronaldinho, Schneider, De Rossi, Alonso, Nesta, etc.?"


    "Okay, I understand what you mean. In order to stage a victory escape, West Brom can only have fun and comfort himself with this idea, so that the morale of the team is optimistic and positive, as far as possible to win the game and create miracle!"


    To assess the combat effectiveness of a team, it must first be paper strength.


    The value of the whole team is a hard standard. No matter how poor the record is, the team with a luxurious lineup will always be a hot team in the eyes of the outside world. As for whether they can play a valuable record, it is the floating of soft power and tactical errors. If the staffing is unreasonable, the overall strength may be lowered.


    Nowadays, there is often media sensation in the public opinion, often taking Real Madrid''s bench to earn eyeballs.


    For example, Raul, Figo, Zidane, and Beckham sitting on the bench together, they will play the title: Real Madrid''s bench is extremely enviable!


    This kind of news is nonsense!


    Because the concept of "substitute" and "sitting on the bench" has been changed!


    It seems like, if Millwall rotates the whole team, take today''s game as an example, who is sitting on the bench?


    Ronaldinho, Henry, Nesta, Kaka, Nesta.


    These five people alone!


    What will the total value be?


    However, you can''t say they are Millwall''s replacement!


    They are still the main force, just sitting on the bench at this moment.


    However, the reason why Millwall is recognized by the outside world as the top European team is really related to their bench.


    This is the thickness of the lineup, not only "thick", but also "hard"!


    It¡¯s not just a lot!


    Players like Nedved, Larson, Glennhill, Villa, Lamor, Pedretti, Balzali, Baines, etc. are often in key battles. When the main players are on the stage, they sit On the bench, this represents Millwall''s luxurious bench!


    When needed, someone can stand up and put on the battle to give the head coach a bottom.


    Like Real Madrid, a lineup is hard enough to dare to rotate and crash. In fact, the thickness of their lineup is lacking. Some people can¡¯t do it, so the head coach can be used with peace of mind, not to mention Real Madrid¡¯s own team building strategy. A top-heavy illness has emerged, and the "Zidane + Pavin" policy is reaping bitter failure!


    The players on both sides have already stood in the field and are waiting for the kick-off. Today, because it is the final battle, 10 games are started at the same time, so the referee has to synchronize with other games, so there is a delay of one or two minutes, and then, after the referee whistle , The game officially started.


    Villa gently kicked the ball to Larson. Larson stopped the ball and turned around. A mid-long pass passed the ball back to his own backcourt.


    The ball jumped into the sky and flew towards Southgate. Southgate just stopped the ball with his chest, and there was a warm cheer from the stands!


    Milwall usually doesn''t pass the ball when he kicks the ball. It kicks the ball back to the defender line at the beginning, which is a bit of morale. It seems that I am afraid that my opponent will not dare to attack.


    But today, Larson deliberately did this, but also paid tribute to Southgate, a comrade for many years!


    Southgate is very focused and dedicated to his final game.


    Yes, it certainly belongs to his last game.


    Even if there is a chance to debut in the Champions League final, it must be garbage time, it is a mixed appearance.


    Millwall players are also aware of this, so they are extremely serious in this final battle.


    They certainly don''t want to send Southgate farewell with a defeat.


    What''s more, there are Nedved and Larson on the court, and the team''s mental quality will not have any problems.


    However, Millwall also knew that West Brom would be desperate to relegate, so they did not put out the momentum to eat up the opponent.


    From the beginning, Millwall showed a very steady posture.


    To win steadily and to be patient with opponents, in terms of game mentality, Millwall must be more than one win over their opponents, they do not have to panic, but what about West Brom? As time goes by, mentality will definitely change, players with unwillingness will relax, or even give up, absent-mindedness, and players with unbalanced mentality may be anxious and frizzy.


    When Southgate completes a pass on the field, intercepts, fights to win the header, and blocks his opponent''s long shot, the stands will cheer for him.


    Today, he seems to be a strong and strong defensive player!


    West Brom''s own offensive ability is pitiful. Although the total number of goals in the Premier League season is above, West Brom ranks second to last, two more than Blackburn, but they are the team with the lowest number of home goals in the Premier League!


    In the first 18 home games, they only scored 15 goals!


    In front of such an opponent whose weakness is nearly weak, Southgate even has a lot of physical explosiveness, but with rich experience and prediction, he can still calmly and easily resolve his opponent''s clear attack.


    Aldridge looked at Southgate, who was serious on the sidelines, with a lot of emotion in his heart.


    In fact, with the experience of Southgate, he can indeed play a substitute in Millwall, at least another season is no problem, like playing West Brom, Norwich, Blackburn and other low-level English Premier League teams , Southgate can well complete the task of team rotation to maintain the record.


    However, Southgate still resolutely chose to retire, not because he could not stand the loneliness of being a substitute, but because he was giving away the opportunity to other players on the team, like Balzali and Neal.


    Substitutes also need to play to maintain their status. One more substitute will reduce the chance of positioning players. Southgate knows this, so he chose to retire and announced the news at this time. Neal has a bottom in his heart and tells them in a reverse direction that their opportunities will not decrease in the future, but will only be more than before.


    People always talk about Millwall''s future is to rely on Ronaldo, Kaka, Villa and other young players.


    However, people ignore a fact.


    The importance of a stable substitute is no less than the key role played by the absolute main force!


    When De Rossi is injured or needs rest, without Pedretti, the key position of the lower back will make the head coach headaches!


    When Nesta can''t get on, how can Barzali and Neal play the role?


    Stable substitutes are firefighters, not only must have the consciousness of firefighting, but also be always ready to stand by!


    Southgate knew that he could not be a stable substitute for a long time, unlike Larson, Nedved, and Schneider who had another season or two, so he had to give up his chance.


    This consciousness was also noticed by Aldridge. Therefore, he hopes to give Southgate a better retirement game, and he will write Southgate¡¯s name to Millwall¡¯s highest honor in history, and all this , Will be realized in the future.


    West Brom is not a team with strong psychological qualities after all. With only 5 wins in the first 37 rounds, the more they lose, the more they desire to win. And in today''s most in need of victory, the mentality is very fast.


    Just after 30 minutes in the first half, they madly invested in the offense. Millwall¡¯s patience was rewarded, and he did not confront the opponent directly, avoiding injuries, and waiting for the opponent to expose enough space. Afterwards, they played an effective fast break and directly hit the attack into the opponent''s penalty area. Glencharr''s breakthrough on the side was like a sharp knife pierced the opponent''s heart, and in the middle of the road, Villa was taken over. The goalkeeper who abandoned the goal fell to the ground and the referee decisively awarded a penalty!


    At Hawthorn Stadium, the home team fans were as desperate as if they had been sentenced to death!


    Crazy Lion fans shouted Southgate''s name in the stands, presumably hoping Southgate would take the penalty.


    Millwall players turned their heads in unison to the backcourt. No one spoke. Their eyes and actions were very clear. They also hoped that Southgate would take the penalty!


    Southgate, who had a very serious expression since the game started, suddenly looked down and smiled.


    Because he vaguely remembered that the last penalty he took was flying!


    And that was 9 years ago!


    In 1996, the European Cup became the penalty for England''s sinner!


    Since then, he has no penalty in the club and national team.


    Not even a penalty shootout.


    After an interval of nine years, stand in front of the penalty again!

 Chapter 1090： The FA "grabbing"

    The entire career of a player is their life as a player in a green world.


    Southgate''s "Rongma''s life", when the armor was returned to the field, his mentality was already unsettled. A penalty did not make him a little nervous. In the expectation, he went to the opponent''s penalty area and whistled at the referee. After signaling, the penalty kick was easily shot into the goal.


    Millwall fans in the Hawthorn Stadium broke into cheers, and Millwall players on the visiting team''s bench also stood up and applauded.


    Southgate was quite "flattered" and raised his hands in return to those who supported him.


    This was a rare and ordinary penalty, but after the game, it was exaggeratedly modified on Fleet Street, such as what is the nine-year reincarnation, what did Southgate defeat...


    The game continued, West Brom appeared to be powerless after losing the ball, he had trouble at the beginning and end, wanted to attack aggressively, but was afraid that the back defense would be exposed to the opponent, but he could not really be determined to do meaninglessness. Defense.


    Just like boiling frogs in warm water, Millwall had already scored a 3-0 lead in the 80th minute of the game. The fans of the Hawthorn Stadium''s home team looked numb and did not leave early, probably witnessing with a glance Countdown for West Brom leaving the Premier League.


    Brian Robson sat weakly on the coach''s seat, and Aldridge felt a little sorry for him.


    There must be shady in football, which is inevitable.


    Although Millwall is the "always pursuing victory" team in Aldridge''s mouth, it can''t be true that every game will go all out to win, because it is difficult for you to absolutely rule the starting 11 people. thought.


    In an insignificant game, the player¡¯s posture will of course change, look relaxed, or loosen up, there are many reasons, maybe I really don¡¯t care about the outcome of the game, or it may be to avoid fierce confrontation and reduce the possibility of injury .


    West Brom has a chance to relegate, absolutely.


    Relegation opponent Norwich is now five goals behind to give Fulham!


    Crystal Palace and Charlton are still tied for the time being.


    As long as West Brom can win the game, they may really be able to stage a victory escape.


    If Millwall and West Brom negotiated before the game to send West Brom ashore.


    It will be a fake ball, because it is a good negotiation in advance, that is, the agreement ball.


    But the two sides did not discuss, if West Brom led Millwall first in the game, maybe Millwall would really let them go, the team''s center of gravity turned to the Champions League, even if it was a substitute, Odridge did not want to have Injury or excessive consumption appears.


    This may evolve into a tacit ball.


    The tacit ball is reasonable, just like the Nordic brothers in the European Cup joined hands with Italy 2:2.


    Does that require agreement?


    No need!


    Just need tacit understanding!


    When the game develops like that, it''s good for everyone, hello, hello everyone, why do you want to fight? Of course, the more sublime teams of thought consciousness will fight, but in the face of great interests, no one can look down on anyone, because in the same situation in Italy, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not do the same behavior as the Nordic brothers.


    West Brom was unlucky because he ended up with Millwall, and it happened that Southgate was about to retire. Millwall did not want to lose the last official game in Southgate, so , They can''t play a tacit ball.


    When the whistle at the end of the game started, West Brom fans sadly and quietly retired. It was not that they did not want to use a strong cheer to send West Brom away, hoping that their beloved team would make a comeback in the lower league next year.


    It''s just that West Brom, who won only 5 games throughout the season, really hurt the hearts of fans!


    Coupled with today''s special significance for Millwall fans, the visiting team fans are the winners here. After the game, they came to the seventh crown of the Carnival Premier League, and they are paying tribute to the legendary Southgate.


    "The 2004-2005 season of the English Premier League came to an end. Millwall scored another 100 points to win the Premier League title. West Brom in the closing game is more regrettable. If they can win Millwall, they Will be relegated successfully, because their relegation opponent, Norwich was slaughtered by Fulham at 0:6 away, Charlton also smashed Crystal Palace 2:2 at home, and as a result, Crystal Palace pressed with the same goal difference. Norwich relegated ashore, and Norwich and West Brom announced their relegation after the final round!"


    This is a day belonging to Millwall, and also to Southgate. Interestingly, the Crystal Palace can be relegated successfully. The official club also sent a blessing to Southgate. There are even media jokes. Southgate ended in the Premier League. In the curtain call, he repaid his old club 11 years ago. His penalty kick made Millwall lead...


    Southgate smiled and applauded all fans on the court. Millwall fans echoed his voice in the Hawthorn Stadium. While Millwall players were celebrating on the court, Southgate unexpectedly walked in alone. aisle.


    The Premier League season awards ceremony is about to start, but Southgate, the captain of Millwall, has left the stadium, which makes the fans in the stands puzzled.


    When the award ceremony on the court is ready, the red carpet from the side of the court leading to the podium is paved. The players'' families are watching the players with smiles on both sides of the red carpet. Today''s awards ceremonies are the press officials of the FA.


    The championship trophy was carried out by the FA Executive in one hand. On the other side, the fans saw that Southgate in the suit and leather suit also carried the trophy on the other side.


    "Eh? Looking at Southgate''s dress, would he be an award guest today? It''s strange, doesn''t it seem that he will receive the championship medal?"


    Southgate put the championship trophy on the podium, and then he stood there. After the ceremonial shouted the name of a player, Southgate waited on the podium to wear a championship medal for the opponent .


    When putting medals on the neck of his teammates, Southgate hugged each teammate with a smile, which was his curtain call and a moment he was proud of.


    When he came to Millwall, Millwall looked desolate, and when he left, Millwall was blooming!


    The picture of him and Aldridge embracing on the podium became the street strip of the Fleet the next day. The background behind the two was a scene of Millwall first-team players smiling with medals.


    Nedvide and Larson took the Premier League trophy from Southgate together. The two held the trophy high and left, and the salute roared at the Hawthorn Stadium. The colorful stripes flew, and the name of the crazy lion resounded through the sky!


    After Millwall''s glorious peak in 2002, the league''s success in defending the league was achieved in 2005. Fleet Street is celebrating Millwall''s greatness. I hope that on May 25th, if Millwall can defend the Champions League.


    There is no doubt that the second era of mad lions ruling Europe, the dynasty will come again!


    After the Premier League ended, Millwall rested for two days. On the first morning of the holiday, Aldridge took her daughter Bonnie to go shopping. Bonnie with beautiful braids rode on Aldridge''s neck , Hanging out with her father in West London, Aldridge taught her to use the camera, and a fool camera was hung around her neck, as long as she was interested or liked the picture, she could take it.


    The father and daughter were very warm and happy on this trip.


    But at noon, while Aldridge was eating ice cream with Bonnie, Southgate called to tell him his decision.


    "Boss, the chairman of the FA invited me to hang up in the FA. They have a lot of sincerity. I thought about it all night and decided to promise them."


    Aldridge helped Bonnie wipe her mouth with a tissue and said to the phone, "What exactly do they want you to do?"


    To be honest, this news made Audridge a little depressed.


    Southgate has not officially retired because Millwall''s season is not over yet and there is a Champions League final.


    But the FA has come to "grab people" first!


    There is no doubt that the captain of the contemporary England World Cup, Southgate must have prestige in English football, not to mention the support of Millwall behind him. If he enters the political circle of football, it will be a negligible one. Resource wealth.


    "They want me to be the director of England''s youth football construction."


    "Oh? This is a fairly reliable position."


    After hearing this, Aldridge realized that he might have made a mistake. He thought that the win over Southgate by the FA would give him an idle position as a help for a certain force. I did not expect it to be purely utilitarian.


    The decline in the quality of English youth players is not empty talk. Judging from the record of the European Youth Championships in recent years, the performance of the English low-level national team is not good. In addition, the Premier League stage is squeezing the survival space of local players. On the contrary, young local players are more It''s hard to find a day when there are fewer and fewer good players, or even if they are good, they cannot be compared with the geniuses of other mainstream powers.


    "Well, because this is a role that may be able to make substantial achievements, I only considered one night. I want to try to bring some of Millwall¡¯s youth training experience to promote the reform and youth football in England. development of."


    "Well, Gareth, since you have already decided, I still say that, I absolutely support you, go, if you need help, just speak casually."


    "Okay, thanks, boss."


    After hanging up the phone, Aldridge fell into contemplation.


    For the meritorious players of the club, he actually has some ideas. He hopes that legendary players who can retire from the club can play a role in the club as much as possible, including entering the management team, or serving as the team¡¯s publicity ambassador, Mill. Wall is taking the international route. According to the commercialization strategy formulated by Carter, there may be many sports and commercial activities around the world. By then, the role of legendary players will be very obvious.


    However, as a local player in England, Southgate entered the FA team, but it is a good result. It can be considered that his influence is maximized in the best stage. That is the local effect. In the future, he will be When people mention it, there will always be a prefix: Millwall fame.


    What surprised Audridge was that 21 years later, Southgate became the FA''s chairman!


    By that time, the king of the Lion King Stadium had become "Hall II" and "Mad Lion Prince".

 Chapter 1091： Happiness before the expedition

    After two days of rest, Millwall players did not play crazy during the two days of the holiday. When they returned to the team to prepare for the Champions League final, they clearly saw that they were in very good physical condition.


    This is probably related to their psychological state, the good habits they have developed for many years, and the team''s psychological quality this season is more powerful.


    Aldridge¡¯s work is still meticulously organized.


    The day before the expedition to Turkey, this day was Audridge''s birthday.


    The young handsome is 29 years old.


    Early in the morning, he was still in the office, Carter pushed in the door and asked with a headache: "Aldrich, how did we live today in the past few years?"


    "Hah? What do you mean? Is there anything special today?"


    Aldrich sat with his chin behind his desk, his face puzzled.


    Carter sat down across the desk and exclaimed: "The first thing I came to the club was that my assistant told me that the Millwall official website was blown up! Our official website server was paralyzed, and the mailbox was also full of mail!"


    Aldridge frowned and said, "Did you upgrade the server last year?"


    The characteristics of the card nodded and said: "Yeah, I learned today that the club will upgrade the website server once every year when you celebrate your birthday!"


    Aldridge bowed his forehead and couldn''t help laughing.


    He and Carter are very mature men, like having a birthday or something. It¡¯s as simple as that. There¡¯s no need to be particularly grand.


    However, since many years ago, when Millwall crashed on the day of the Champions League final and Aldridge¡¯s birthday, and at that time, fans had a slogan on the stands to wish Aldridge a happy birthday, after that, Aldridge¡¯s birthday was not secret.


    On his birthday, fans from all over the world will send mail blessings, and some will leave messages on the official website, and even mail gifts to the club.


    For club players, Aldrich advocates active care. On the birthday of the players, they will engage in some "sudden attack" internal celebrations to make the players feel warm and cared in the club.


    But his own birthday, three years and five years ago, was automatically ignored by the club. After all, he is the leader of the team. If the season is over, the players will run their own things. The season is not over, indicating that there are games. As a coach, how can you celebrate with a big fan What about your birthday?


    Can''t stop the enthusiasm of the fans.


    Therefore, Millwall''s official website and public mailbox will be tested for life and death on this day. The past years of experience have told the club that the network hardware must be upgraded once a year, and the upgrade date will be after May 20.


    Carter is gone. It should have been easy today. As a result, he is going to deal with the gifts received by the club from fans from all over the world. Even if it is a greeting card, the club must make a reply to show the importance!


    Only in this way can we better develop the club''s overseas fan base.


    Although those jobs are not from Aldridge''s work, they are done by others.


    But this is like a star. The work team around the star is a lot of work that interacts with fans.


    No matter how much Aldridge is, it is normal. On the day before the expedition, the training task will not be too heavy, and the team atmosphere is also very relaxed.


    He supervised the training of the players on the training ground, and chatted with colleagues in the coaching staff. It was easy and pleasant.


    It''s just that when players like Schneider, Ronaldinho, De Rossi and others occasionally look at him, they always feel a little weird. Aldrich only understands that they want to say a happy birthday to themselves.


    But when the training ended in the afternoon, when he came out of the office and walked to the parking lot, the whole person was stunned.


    The car in the parking lot was pried open!


    The rear door is open, because the door cannot be closed!


    He walked over carefully and saw that there was a foot in the back seat of the car, which was the foot that made the door impossible to close.


    When he got closer and closer, he realized that the "foot" was the "feet" of the doll.


    In his car, in addition to the driving position, the other space is full of stuff!


    One part is a carefully packed gift box, and the other part is packed in a handbag, with the latest computer, game console, leather shoes, clothing, non-mainstream ornaments, cowboy hat... the foot of the puppet doll "It was pressed at the bottom, and he saw it clearly after pulling away the things on it. The doll''s template was just himself!


    It''s just that the Q version has been reduced a little, and it has a height of about 1.5 meters.


    Aldridge can''t help but can''t help but if he still can''t figure it out at this time, then he''s really alive!


    It must be a birthday gift from the players!


    Just when he was going to call and reprimand them, the quiet parking lot suddenly sounded in unison, and Aldridge was almost scared to sit on the ground!


    "Boss! Happy birthday! Hahahaha!"


    In all directions, those various cars still parked in the parking lot, their heads were protruding from the driver''s seat, all the first-team players laughed, and after shouting in unison, they immediately launched the car and quickly left!


    Aldridge''s head was a little dazed.


    When he arrived, he saw that the parking lot was full, thinking that the players hadn''t gone yet, and he didn''t see anything strange.


    Unexpectedly, in fact, they were already in the car, and they must have bowed their heads to prevent outsiders from discovering, and then hit "ambush" here!


    Aldridge was dizzy.


    Crying and laughing.


    I don¡¯t know who gave each of these gifts. He especially wanted to know, who did this humanoid figure come from?


    Afterwards, Kaka voluntarily admitted that he sent it.


    Finally, squeezing the gift packed in the compartment, closing the door, Aldridge drove home.


    He didn''t drive the car into the garage, because for the family, his birthday was a special day after all, Aldridge would not hold a birthday party, and he would go to Arthur''s side together at night, which is a small family party.


    He was struggling to hold the figurine in his right hand, carrying a few handbags in his left, and pulled out the key with difficulty to open the door. When he entered the room, the sound of the paint gun startled him again, and everything in his hand fell to the ground.


    "Dad, happy birthday!"


    The line of sight at home was very dark, only a few candles were lit on the coffee table in the living room, which looked like the atmosphere of a candlelight dinner. Earl and Burt rang the cannons at the door from left to right, making Aldridge¡¯s heartbeat. Suddenly accelerated.


    "You scared me! I thought it was an earthquake!"


    When the color bar fell, Earl and Burt ran into the living room. Aldrich didn''t know what the two brothers were going to do. Just bent down and picked up two handbags, his face was held by him, and his head was raised. , Yi Wen kissed his lips affectionately for a long time, and she said with a smile: "Happy birthday."


    Aldridge replied: "Thank you, but you are here to help me, I still have a lot of things in my car to get back."


    Yi Wen noticed that there were many things on the ground, and the light was too dark.


    She went outside to help Aldridge carry the presents back in the car. Bonnie ran to Aldridge¡¯s arms, kissed Aldridge in her face, and said happily, ¡°Dad, birthday happy."


    When Ewen brought things in, Aldridge asked curiously: "Why don''t you turn on the light? Candlelight dinner? Isn''t it better to go to Arthur''s side?"


    In fact, it is a candlelight dinner, it will feel very strange.


    Because that should be a two-person world, not a family dinner atmosphere.


    Yiwen laughed and said nothing. At this time, Burt and Earl were holding a large plate from the kitchen. The plate was a very ordinary cake with chocolate flavor and lighted candles. Earl and Burr While holding the dinner plate into the living room, he sang a birthday song.


    Ewen whispered in Aldrich''s ear: "This is a birthday gift they made by themselves."


    Aldridge was so moved that he could not speak.


    Although Earl was a child who made him a headache, and he seemed to be unemployed most of the time, if he said he didn¡¯t learn, he would be wronged.


    As long as he is interested in things, he will work hard to study and study.


    It''s like making a cake. He took an advertisement for a cake shop, so he became interested. Although the craftsmanship is not very good, it is no problem to make a qualified cake. Presumably he brought his brother, brother. Working together, we made this birthday cake for Aldridge.


    The reason why I light candles in the living room is probably for the current environmental effect.


    Aldridge knelt down in front of the coffee table and blew out the candles, and then began to enjoy the birthday cakes made by the children for him. Although the chocolate taste was too strong, and even the taste was greasy, he still enjoyed it with relish.


    In the corner of the living room, there is now an extra decoration, at least Aldridge thinks it is half of the decoration, half of the toys, the piano.


    Bonnie also prepared a birthday gift for her father. She wanted to play a birthday song for her father.


    However, it didn¡¯t take long for her to play the piano, and it was easy to make mistakes. Especially when she made a mistake, she would panic, causing the piano music to pop up very strangely. Finally, she cried instead, and Aldridge walked with a smile Sit in front of the piano, hug her to make her happy, and then encourage her to let her play the piano slowly again. Soon, a simple and fluent piano song came out, Bonnie broke into tears and laughed. Derich closed his eyes to relive the simple melody.


    The day before his expedition to Turkey, Aldridge spent his 29th birthday. On this night, he also received a gift from Ewen.


    Ewen tattooed Aldridge''s name on his body, and proudly let Aldridge appreciate it after undressing, which made Aldridge also have the idea of ??a tattoo. , Earl, Bonnie''s name is also tattooed on himself.


    On May 21st, Millwall went to Istanbul, Turkey, and the Champions League final is coming.


    On this day, AC Milan, the opponent of Millwall''s Champions League final, is still in Italy. They are the first team to play in this round of Serie A, but at the same time, Millwall has arrived in Turkey to start the final before the Champions League final. ready!


    This season, Millwall''s strategic initiative has almost carried through the entire season!

 Chapter 1092： The first war in history!

    Istanbul, Turkey.


    Fans of England and Italy flooded into this classic city. In this city where there were several dynasty empires, the historic battle of the Champions League will be ushered in!


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


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


    If AC Milan wins, they will win the Champions League trophy for the seventh time and become the team with the most championships, no one!


    If Millwall wins, their number of Champions League wins will jump to the first place, reaching 6 times. Although not the only one, they can proudly claim to be the first in history!


    Millwall''s team is in good shape. Except for Ronaldo who missed the final due to injury, the team has no other injuries. With two rounds of championship in advance, the team''s physical fitness is restored and morale has accumulated. All are done extremely well.


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


    After San Siro lost to Juventus 0:1, AC Milan failed to bite Juventus in the next round of the league, but also because of their fight against Eindhoven, Juventus won the league and they drew. The gap between the points of the two teams widened to 5 points, and there are only two rounds left in the league.


    On the 21st, AC Milan played ahead of the Champions League and failed to win Palermo at home, sending Juventus to the top of Serie A in a draw!


    Juventus haven''t played in two league games, AC Milan has only one Serie A final match, but the gap between the two teams is 4 points. There is no suspense. Juventus announced the penultimate round of the league without playing. Win the championship!


    This is also a strategic disadvantage that caused AC Milan and Juventus to drive together for almost the entire season, but ended in defeat in the final stage.


    But in any case, at least they have one more game to play than the Serie A champion!


    Champions League final!


    If it wins, the Champions League 7 crown, AC Milan will become the first winner of the Champions League! Beyond Real Madrid!


    At the pre-match press conference, Audridge and Ancelotti paid tribute to each other. The two coaches tacitly looked forward to the Champions League final with a relaxed and yearning gesture.


    "For the two clubs, this Champions League final has a special significance beyond the past, Millwall is very happy that the opponent is AC Milan, a great game, of course, need a great opponent, from an athletic perspective This is also good for Millwall, because the opponent to be faced is AC Milan, which will not make the players look down on them, we will try our best to avoid making mistakes! On the basis of not making mistakes, we will do our best Going to show Millwall''s football philosophy for victory and bringing the trophy home!"


    Ataturk Olympic Stadium, Istanbul, May 25.


    The literary performance before the Champions League finals has come to an end, Audridge pre-match training in the locker room!


    The players **** the shin guards, put on their jersey shoes, and stood up neatly, with a serious and serious expression.


    Aldridge walked between Nedved and Larson, raised his hands and pressed them on their shoulders, then turned around and said in a deep voice: "I don¡¯t want to tell you the media again and win. In the next final, Millwall won the sixth Champions League, and we became the third team to win the Champions League six times. This is the glory of the club! And what I want to say is that today, it should be your glory Look at Pavel, look at Henrik. If they play today, they will do everything for victory. As long as they can breathe and run, they won¡¯t be slack. Why? Because they won, They will become the first-ever legend in the history of the Champions League! Winning the Champions League 6 times! This is also the sixth Champions League final of Bernd, Hans! Thierry¡¯s fifth time, and you, your fifth time Champions League final!"


    Finally, Aldridge pointed Ronaldinho, and Ronaldinho nodded seriously.


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


    They are breaking records, creating records, and at the same time refreshing records themselves!


    "For 99% of the players, a Champions League final is the pinnacle of all their careers! Even the runner-up will be the moment of the highest light, but you need to keep your eyes open to see clearly, we, Millwall, Mad Lion ! Where are our eyes looking? Everything beyond history! What are we pursuing? The first legend, not the second who is who we are, we disdain to be with others, we should be unique! I believe in In the future, Pavel will be talked about like this, Henrik will be talked about like this, Hans, Bernd, etc., and they will, but how about you? Harvey, Kaka, Daniele, Philip, David, Alessandro? Some of you won the Champions League for the first time last year, and some started for the first time in the Champions League final today. Ask if your heart is satisfied? Or, do you want to Want to be someone like them?"


    Aldrich opened his hands, apparently showing Nedved and Larson to the younger players on the team, the legendary veteran of the team is a model monumental!


    The locker room was quiet, and the players'' breathing sounds became very clear.


    De Rossi, Alonso, Ram, Kaka, Villa and others, they all thought of the words that the media portrayed when they praised Audridge.


    "Sir Hall has long been a legendary coach. No matter when he retires, he will become an insurmountable target for football coaches. Not only has he achieved himself, but he has also redefined the success of the players. Now the success of the players has been obvious Divided into two categories, one is the success of ordinary players, the other is the success of Millwall players. Now, how many people still remember Millwall''s former meritorious players have a full-back called Capdevila Who else can associate Trezeguet, Shevchenko and Millwall? Real Madrid¡¯s knife guard Elgra, at his peak, was in Millwall! Now there are many People don¡¯t think how successful they are, because they used to play Millwall! At Millwall, if you don¡¯t get at least three Champions League and three league titles, then, in contrast, you will be Ignore! Because of the existence of Nedved, Larson, Schneider and others, they have faithfully followed Sir Hall and achieved themselves, and they can already be said to be the most successful players in the history of European clubs! Waiting for later The transcendence!"


    Young people''s most taboo slack after success, fortunately, there are such senior players in the Millwall team as Nedved, Larsen, Schneider, etc. who can persevere in pursuit, on the one hand, make an example for young players The role, on the other hand, is also a good example, enough to make young players envy and strive to catch up and surpass them!


    "Today, don¡¯t think about how glorious it will be to win the sixth championship for the club! Don¡¯t think about it! You just need to remember a little, a little! Add another Champions League title to your honor book! Think selfishly That¡¯s enough! Like, I want to win, because, I, Aldrich Hall, will change from great to the **** of the green field!"


    Aldrich opened his arms, his expression was wild, his eyes sharp as a sword!


    His remarks are full of strong appeal.


    All the team players burst into a roar in the locker room, and then walked out of the locker room with great spirits, ready to step into the court and fight!


    AC Milan''s players have long been standing in the player channel to prepare for formation.


    When the opponent is Millwall, Shevchenko has softened the distractions and will not be cranky.


    But Pirlo and Gattuso couldn''t help but imagine, Millwall''s dressing room must be a murderous sight!


    It must be said that at this point, Ancelotti is difficult to compare with Audridge.


    Just as they were thinking, their shoulders were patted lightly, and they turned their heads to look. It happened to see Aldridge passing by them, and turned their heads to smile lightly at them. It seems weird, which makes Pirlo and Gattuso have some strange emotions: the game will definitely be more difficult than expected!


    Aldrich nodded to Shevchenko at the forefront, beckoning, and then he swaggered out of the player''s tunnel and came to the side of the court.


    Ancelotti seemed to be waiting for him on the sidelines. The two of them did not shake hands after they met, but they directly gave a friendly hug.


    "Karlo, I haven''t seen you in two years."


    "Huh? When the UEFA Champions League draw last year, it wasn''t..."


    Ancelotti shook his head just halfway through, and his expression became depressed, saying, "You are disturbing me, right?"


    In fact, the two met at the draw of the UEFA Champions League group stage this season.


    But two years ago in Aldrich''s mouth, of course, refers to the European Super Cup two years ago!


    It was a match between Millwall and AC Milan.


    It ended with a victory from Millwall''s penalty shootout.


    Mentioning that game, it is easy for Audridge to suppress Ancelotti in his momentum, and it will certainly evoke Ancelotti''s memories, reminding him of the last defeat, which may affect his presence. Directed thinking judgment.


    Aldridge shrugged and said with a chuckle: "Two years ago, you were the Champions League, I am the UEFA Cup champion, two years later, today, you said, who will be the new king of the Champions League in history?"


    No matter who wins the game, a new Champions League will be born, the difference is that AC Milan will be unique, Millwall is newly joined with AC Milan and Real Madrid.


    Ancelotti opened his mouth, a look of words, and finally hated: "I don''t tell you this, the strong mouth, it''s boring!"


    "Hehehe, really? Karlo, you''re so timid! It''s nothing. I''m you instead of me. I might not dare to praise Haikou. After all, I just lost the championship after losing the league title, right?"


    "Aldrich, can we still be friends?"


    "Why not? AC Milan won the championship, I will stay to congratulate you, Millwall won the championship, I will sincerely invite you to participate in the celebration feast, how?"


    Ancelotti went away in anger.


    Aldridge''s eyes were bright and his lips slightly warped, and he turned to the coach seat.


    A battle for the Champions League is about to begin!

 Chapter 1093： Pinnacle

    The Champions League final is about to start. On the stadium stands, the fans of both sides are enthusiastic. The fans are naturally very excited about the "first in history". Even if the AC Milan League just failed to defend the title, this will not affect their desire for the Champions League!


    The players from both sides lined up and the opening ceremony of this special significance of the Champions League final will be a little more tedious, and it is also a battle that UEFA uses to make the signboard.


    This is likely to be a classic battle in history!


    "The 2004-2005 UEFA Champions League final is about to start. The two teams that entered the final are the absolute top teams in UEFA today. The five-time Champions League Millwall challenged the six-time Champions League AC Milan! If AC Milan can win, Will become the unprecedented Champions League seven champion, if Millwall wins, huh, huh, the history of the Champions League will appear magnificent! Millwall, AC Milan, Real Madrid, won the Champions League with six times and tied the Champions League history First! This year happens to be the 50th anniversary of the UEFA Champions League. For half a century, AC Milan and Real Madrid have been important players in the history of the Champions League. Now, Millwall has become the Champions League. An important role that cannot be ignored in history, and they did it in less than 10 years!"


    "The opening ceremony is about to be completed. Let us introduce the starting lineup of both parties.


    Millwall 433.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Defenders: Schneider, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Ram.


    Midfielders: De Rossi, Alonso, Kaka.


    Forwards: Villa, Henry, Ronaldinho.


    AC Milan 442.


    Goalkeeper: Dida.


    Defenders: Cafu, Stam, Maldini, Karaze.


    Midfielders: Gattuso, Pirlo, Seedorf, Rui Costa.


    Forwards: Shevchenko, Crespo.


    It is worth mentioning that no matter who wins the two teams, there will be a personal honor for the Champions League players to be tied!


    Millwall, Bout, Schneider, Nedved, Larsen on the bench, they have won the Champions League five times, if Millwall wins, they will tie Gento¡¯s 6 Cup holding record!


    On the side of AC Milan, Pirlo also has 5 Champions League championship records, 4 of which were won with Millwall. If AC Milan wins, Pirlo will also tie Gento¡¯s cup record, only one championship away from the new record. !


    There is no doubt that the above mentioned players are already legendary players in the history of the Champions League. Whether they can break the record of Gento, they will be important historical figures in the history of the Champions League for a long time in the future, er , This sentence may be said a bit early, because Pirlo was just 26 years old. "


    Aldridge looked at AC Milan''s starting lineup on the sidelines, and it should be said that there was not much surprise.


    In other words, AC Milan is considered to be the closest to Millwall¡¯s strength, because it is only compared to the main lineup, but if Millwall and AC Milan are competing in the same league, if they are competitive, Then the gap between Millwall and AC Milan will be very obvious, because the thickness of AC Milan''s lineup is not enough to allow their overall strength to be compared with Millwall.


    But in a 90-minute or 120-minute game, as long as you play the best hand, the overall gap will not be too obvious.


    AC Milan here is a little bit inferior to the same period.


    Because there is no Nesta in the back line, and there is no Kaka in the front waist position.


    But the situation should also be viewed rationally.


    It is difficult to say that Kaka and Rui Costa at this time, Kaka will definitely win.


    It¡¯s just that Rui Costa is 33 years old after all, and Kaka is rising in the sun, representing the future. When using people to match the team¡¯s long-term construction, it is natural to look at the future, so Nedved is placed on the bench by Aldridge. On the top, Fukaka is not superior, but Nedved is not as strong as Kaka, but he looks at the reality rationally. Nedved can only play the heat in the future, he can no longer give Millwall a golden decade, or even the peak. Five or three years is impossible.


    If AC Milan will give Audridge any surprise, it will definitely be on the front line, at least the AC Milan reserve is still abundant on the front line, Thomason, Inzaghi, Shevchenko, Crespo.


    It''s a pity that Inzaghi recovered from his injury for a long time and performed mediocre in the battle of the Heavenly King Mountain and Juventus. It is reasonable and reasonable not to get the starting position today.


    The battle of the strongest peak, first of all, you must not make mistakes yourself!


    The players on both sides of the field also knew this well. Before the kick-off, the two sides looked at the other half, and the killing breath came out!


    AC Milan are not deliberately shifting their focus and sacrificing the league for the Champions League, because in the battle for the championship with Juventus, they have not yet reached the finals, and Juventus did not finish the Champions League semi-finals.


    It can only be said that the key battles have been lost and the situation has changed dramatically.


    But from another perspective, if AC Milan wins the battle of Uranus in San Siro, they may not be able to come to Istanbul with the current full-fledged attitude, because Juventus are out of the Champions League and AC Milan cannot be forced in the league. Make any mistakes.


    After removing the burden of the league, in fact the loss of the league was also doomed in the previous round of the game, so the league four days ago was just to kill the suspense in advance, kind of like a self-end, after all, I hope Juventus The crash was too unrealistic.


    AC Milan, who has no worries, is very serious and full of preparations for this game. Perhaps he is physically backward to Millwall, but his mentality and psychological preparation will never fall behind.


    Ancelotti was expressionless on the sidelines.


    The whole world does not know how to deal with Millwall.


    Even if the world is studying Millwall.


    To restrain Millwall is nothing more than to proceed in two ways, the first is to restrict!


    As much as Chelsea does to limit it, but Chelsea has become a lesson for other teams to do like this.


    AC Milan is not Chelsea, nor does it have the staffing characteristics of Chelsea, so naturally it is impossible to go this way.


    Then there is only another way left, that is suppression!


    But it is too difficult to suppress Millwall.


    In this regard, players must be required to play exceptionally.


    Ancelotti still prepared a set of tactics against Millwall.


    Success or failure, only know after playing!


    Speaking of Istanbul Night in 2005, most people will definitely remember the momentum after the opening of AC Milan, killing the Quartet!


    But in fact, after today''s game started, both teams on the court were a bit conservative, seemingly cautious, but actually safe, avoiding excessive excitement or slow fever.


    Millwall is not Liverpool in the original history, AC Milan will not put themselves in a high-profile position, on the contrary, they should be low-key, low-key, lower-key!


    In such a peak battle, not only the player''s state needs to be excited, but also the rhythm of the team''s 11 people is synchronized to play at the same pace. Otherwise, it will lay hidden dangers for the game. This is exactly after the opening of the two parties. Conservative reasons.


    Too excited is not good, too much excitement is an unbalanced state of mind!


    In the first 10 minutes, Millwall and AC Milan played a step-by-step attack, and there were no particularly exciting scenes. The players of both teams were finding the rhythm of the whole team, focusing on the core players and keeping pace. ,Into the role.


    In the 12th minute of the game, Millwall took the lead!


    The core of Millwall''s offensive is of course Ronaldinho. When he begins to break out, such as taking the initiative, accelerating the breakthrough with the ball, etc., it is a signal on the field!


    Ronaldinho pulled back very deep this time to take the ball. He slowly returned to the midfield, receiving Alonso''s pass, stopping the ball and passing the ball is an action, and the ball that rolled over suddenly flicked forward. Rui Costa rolled between his legs, Ronaldinho broke out and started after touching the ball, Rui Costa turned and was directly overtaken by Ronaldinho!


    At this moment, Millwall''s offensive offensive broke out!


    Gattuso and Pirlo are approaching the enemy, quickly retreating!


    Yes, the two lower backs did not go up.


    Going to the top is to die!


    AC Milan''s back line quickly retreated, and Gattuso stood in front of the big penalty area line!


    Pirlo is preparing to intercept in the area in front of him. He will not take the initiative to snatch, just wait for the other party to come over to intercept, and cooperate with Gattuso to intercept!


    One thing that must be taken care of is that the back line of AC Milan is too old!


    Cafu, will be 35 years old next month.


    Stam, there will be 33 days in 50 days.


    Maldini, 37 years old a month later!


    Karaze is at the golden age, 27 years old, but he is a full-back!


    So the space in the restricted area cannot be given to Millwall!


    Not even a little bit.


    This is the reason for the rapid withdrawal of the AC Milan defense.


    If you really lose your position and go to make up, can you make up? Is there any chance to make up?


    Ronaldinho took the ball all the way forward, as if entering a land of no one!


    There are two points parallel to his forward impact, Kaka on the right, and Ram on the left.


    There are two points ahead, Henry and Villa.


    Behind Ronaldinho, Alonso followed.


    The aggressive Millwall boldly "invades" AC Milan''s territory!


    On the road with the ball, Ronaldinho is observing the opponent''s defensive battle. The magician on this court is also an excellent organizer. He has in his mind how to contain and tear the AC Milan defense line.


    In order to prevent Cafu from earning in the penalty area and strengthening the defense in the penalty area, Ronaldinho passed the ball when he came to Pirlo and passed it to Ram on the left!


    The response point from Ram highlights the offensive threat on the left, forcing Cafu not to return to the restricted area!


    When Ram brought the ball forward to a parallel position on the line of the penalty area, he then passed the ball horizontally, which seemed to be passed back to Ronaldinho.


    Ronaldinho is now physically opposed to Pirlo. The ball is in the back position. Pirlo cannot steal unless Ronaldinho''s physical confrontation is released. For security reasons, Pirlo did not do so.


    When the ball rolled over, Ronaldinho suddenly missed the ball, he did not touch the ball!


    Pirlo''s pupils shrank, but he didn''t expect Ronaldinho to miss the ball!


    And Ronaldinho''s thoughts in his mind at the moment: Andrea, organizational skills, you are a master, one-on-one defense, how can you stop me?


    When thinking of this, Ronaldinho quickly ran out of position after missing the ball and ran diagonally from Pirlo to the right front!


    The leaked ball was obtained by Kaka, AC Milan''s backline, the alarm sounded, and Gattuso''s scalp numb!

 Chapter 1094： Break a tooth!

    Gattuso, the powerful scavenger, is really going to blow up!


    In most games, his cooperation with Pirlo was perfect. When he attacked, he escorted Pirlo. Even if Pirlo accidentally lost the ball, when the opponent hurriedly organized the attack, he was like a beast threatening his opponent. , Causing the opponent to lose a square inch, and then lose the ball.


    When defending, Pirlo is a defensive guise, forcing opponents to make offensive transfers or personal breakthroughs, so his post-control will have wonders.


    However, when playing against Millwall, especially when Pirlo is defending in front of Ronaldinho, it is almost useless and may have a certain reaction.


    Gattuso is too concerned about Ronaldinho''s control of the ball, or he subconsciously expects Ronaldinho to control the ball, try to break through Pirlo, and then give him the opportunity to end Ronaldinho in the moment after the breakthrough!


    However, Ronaldinho, the magician, used a leaking ball, like impromptu play, but it was not so shocking. Everyone used to think that Ronaldinho would have such a performance, deceived Pirlo, and also gave Gattuso a short period of distraction. .


    If Gattuso followed Kaka from the beginning, Ronaldinho''s missed ball would not give Kaka a chance to catch the ball.


    But Gattuso cannot focus all of his attention on Kaka!


    If you do that, Pirlo is passed by Ronaldinho, maybe, it will really pass, and Ronaldinho will be unimpeded to the AC Milan!


    Interpreting from Millwall, it is also because they played extremely well in their offense, cooperated with rules and regulations, kept the distance between Kaka and Ronaldinho, and ordered the level of attack advancement.


    In the running position after the ball missed, Ronaldinho accidentally dumped Pirlo, he quickly moved forward to the right, so Gattuso appeared his most awkward defense situation.


    On his left, Ronaldinho is running forward, and in front of him, the chuck rushes with a ball!


    He is very close to Ronaldinho and Kaka, but he knows that there is only one chance, he can only choose one person!


    Pirlo, has been kicked out!


    This time, when Ronaldinho missed the ball, his defensive role was completely obliterated!


    Gattuso made an Italian defensive choice, that is, not to grab, to ensure the tightness of the defensive system, he did not take the initiative to make a choice.


    In this game between electro-optical flint, it may be whoever moves first and who loses everything!


    The reason is very simple. He stepped forward, even after a small step, after losing his center of gravity, Kaka passed the ball to Ronaldinho. Not only did he not have the opportunity to chase Ronaldinho again, but he would also lose the opportunity to replace his teammates.


    If he keeps up with Ronaldinho, this is totally unreasonable, the ball is at the foot of Kaka, he moves a step, with AC Milan to study Millwall as thoroughly as possible, he is convinced that Kaka must accelerate the ball, an outbreak breaks into the penalty area , With a wide-ranging shooting opportunity.


    Gattuso is like a calm beast at the moment, trying to make himself play better!


    However, he still underestimated the creativity of Millwall''s offensive system!


    Gattuso''s retreat, Pirlo''s confusion after being kicked out of the game, revealing another emptiness, that is, the connection between the forward and the forward.


    Kaka does not necessarily have to find Ronaldinho to cooperate, not necessarily!


    Kaka directly passed the ball from the gap between Pirlo and Gattuso to Gattuso''s right rear!


    Gattuso was really shocked.


    On his right back, Henry waited for Kaka''s pass in front of Stam. When Stam came up, Henry kicked the ball and crossed the ball diagonally to Ronaldinho''s direction.


    Gattuso couldn''t intercept this route, because he had to turn around and had to run two steps faster, too late!


    Only Maldini blocked Ronaldinho.


    When Maldini waited intently for Ronaldinho to stop the ball at the moment he touched the ball, he didn''t expect it. Ronaldinho reapplied the trick, and the ball rolled over diagonally, Ronaldinho still missed it!


    Two leaks in a short period of time is a classic among classics!


    Even the experienced defensive master Maldini is turbulent at this moment, like a ghost!


    The ball that was once again missed by Ronaldinho was inserted diagonally into the penalty area to accelerate the outbreak of Villa. Villa took the ball diagonally towards the goal. Carraze seemed to be chasing a little hard. Maldini just turned to block The angle of Villa''s shot, but Villa pushed the ball gently to the middle again, Maldini''s mind buzzed!


    I wish I could grind my teeth and question them!


    How can you be so calm and cold, and use a kind of extreme cold teamwork to hurt your opponents!


    Ronaldinho, who missed the ball twice in a row, did not let the ball pass this time. He made a stop motion. Then, Stam and goalkeeper Dida rushed towards him. At this moment, the magician used almost to make the opponent The collapsed way handled the ball underfoot.


    Cross again!


    The ball rolled between Stam''s legs as easily as Ronaldinho pulled the ball between Rui Costa''s legs and passed the crotch when he started at midfield.


    Henry didn''t stop the ball behind Stam. The goal in front of him was completely empty. He gently pushed the ball and the ball rolled into the empty goal without suspense.


    Millwall, a classic Champions League goal, Ronaldinho became the most dazzling protagonist, wearing a crotch, assisting in crotch, twice leaking fans to confuse opponents, and the most aggressive of the entire Millwall offensive group Positioning disturbed the opponent''s entire defense line, and finally gave his teammate a nanny ball selflessly.


    Henry didn''t run to celebrate after scoring a goal, he stood at the shooting place, turned to Ronaldinho, Kaka, Villa, Ram, Alonso who followed up in the back row beckoned, Millwall players flocked to Henry, They hugged together, not surrounded by anyone, but hugged together, roared, and were proud of a great goal together!


    "In the opening 13 minutes, Millwall went to the city first! OMG! The language is difficult to describe the beauty and wonderfulness of this goal. Millwall seemed to compose a magnificent movement on the football field, which made the audience obsessed with enjoyment, once, twice , Browsing countless times will bring the highest level of visual satisfaction! Ronaldinho, the best player in the world, he dominates everything. In his current state and performance on the court, there is no such thing in the world. The second star can be compared with him, and we can experience his dominance on the field! He drives Millwall''s offensive rhythm, allowing Millwall''s offensive parts to form a whole and powerfully destroy everything!"


    Aldridge was shaking his arms and clapping **** the sidelines. He would have been very restrained, but when he saw the team playing a wonderful classic goal, he could not control himself, especially made by the fans on the scene. The vast and magnificent celebration will naturally be affected!


    Ancelotti was faintly angry, his face unwilling.


    When playing against Millwall, there will always be a feeling: no matter how much you study them, how many times you watch them, you think you have learned a lot, you think you have a good sense of stress, but in the game, Millwall will always compare You think it is more lethal and the pain caused to the opponent, the other people can never experience it, because the other people will only marvel, only think calmly, but ignore the fact that as Millwall''s opponent, the preparation before the game , As if turning into flowing water, going east! It was a desperation and helplessness that was almost desperate, and the mentality suddenly became desolate. All the ideas had not yet begun, and people had the idea of ??giving up.


    AC Milan players sighed on the field. As a leader of the team, Maldini immediately stood up and encouraged the morale of the team, so that everyone should not be discouraged!


    The way he used is relatively simple: we haven''t shot yet!


    Yes, generally speaking, it was Millwall who made the move first, but AC Milan just didn''t block it.


    At this point, I realize that AC Milan has it, but Millwall uses a way that is too cruel.


    Passed the ball into the door of AC Milan.


    I really want to say that Millwall has zero seals in the game, which is a fool''s dream.


    They will try their best to do this, but to win the game, defense alone is not enough, after all, it depends on scoring!


    For goals, AC Milan still have their preparations.


    Even Aldridge didn''t believe that AC Milan would be defeated by a goal. There was time.


    Moreover, Ancelotti should also understand.


    He is famous all over the world. The Christmas tree formation is not a classic formation. If you insist on a classic formation, it is better to say that it is a classic lineup!


    Ancelotti is "letting artists coexist on the court", not how superficially they are arranged.


    The coexistence of these No. 10 players on the field itself is contrary to ordinary tactical ideas.


    Just like giving Ronaldinho 3 Ronaldinhos, Aldrich doesn¡¯t think that the role will be stronger than 1 Ronaldinho, because the lineup is rich, there must be a reasonable personnel mix, there are more players of a type, it does not mean offensive. Stronger, on the contrary, may become a short board, because offensive means is not too rich.


    Taking forwards like Irving as an example, would two Irvings play double forwards, would the effect be better than a high center or all-around forward with Irving?


    The No. 10 player has a lack of defensive ability. This is also the shortcoming of AC Milan against Millwall. Just like Rui Costa passed by Ronaldinho, it may be nothing, but Seedorf supports the defense. It is really terrible to see that the Millwall soldiers are under pressure. In the main offensive area, he can''t see his people. Pirlo is also in the waistline. It can be said that facing Milwall, a team with a wealth of offensive means, AC Milan ''S defensive system has serious birth defects!


    Therefore, of course, they cannot pin their hopes on defense. To win, of course, they must rely on offensive!


    Suppress opponents with offense!


    Ancelotti gritted his teeth secretly on the sidelines. The situation on the court had to change decisively. AC Milan had to score. Only by allowing Millwall¡¯s goal to be penetrated would this cause Millwall¡¯s alert to go to the rescue, then the relative Will weaken the offense.


    This is a gamble. Players bet on the field. The coach plays a psychological game on the sidelines. If Millwall is really frightened by AC Milan''s attack, what would Aldridge''s choice be?


    Ancelotti, who is like a good guy, would not be willing to take a fight. His confrontation with Aldridge has not yet begun. At present, it is just Aldridge who punched him and broke his teeth.

 Chapter 1095： Tooth for teeth!

    AC Milan tried to suppress Millwall, but they did not rush into the whole army. Due to the age constraints of the back line, they did not dare to move forward as a whole. In order to maintain the tightness of the three-line formation and avoid the formation of disconnection, the main force naturally Most of the time in the midfield.


    The so-called repression is based on the progress of the game score, but it is not the situation on the court.


    It is conceivable that if they can overtake the score, then, without looking at the situation on the court, in the invisible comparison between the two sides, AC Milan will be more stable, and Millwall may fall into anxiety, which is a psychological suppress!


    In terms of tactics, AC Milan mainly grasped the rhythm of turning from defense to attack and began to exert its power.


    Pirlo is undoubtedly a master in this area, and he is the best at catching the rhythm of the game.


    But within 5 minutes of losing the ball, Pirlo organized the attack twice when AC Milan turned from defense to defense, and they all seemed very impatient!


    He will launch a long pass directly in the midfield and backcourt, even when there is no pressure from all directions!


    This surprised and surprised Aldridge on the sidelines.


    This is not the level of Pirlo!


    Ordinary fans look at the standard, maybe they mainly look at the ball skills. On the ball skills alone, Pirlo''s two long passes are in good condition. One long pass found Rui Costa and one foot found Shevchenko.


    However, both men lost the ball.


    Who is responsible?


    The 33-year-old Rui Costa fell explosively. After being forced by the beast-like De Rossi, he fell to the ground in awkward circumstances. The referee did not award a foul. Shevchenko was also frozen by Nesta when he drew the ball inside.


    Intuitively, Pirlo is not responsible, it is the problem of the two.


    But looking at the big picture, Pirlo made them more comfortable without passing the ball to them!


    Not a knife mountain ball, similar to a knife mountain ball!


    After receiving the ball, the teammates were helpless and there was no follow-up point around. They could only control the ball by themselves, and then were blocked by the opponent.


    In this contest, Pirlo should understand better than anyone that it is impossible to dominate the game alone!


    Even Ronaldinho will not easily lead people in AC Milan''s dangerous zone. He has passed Rui Costa, passed Seedorf, and Pirlo.


    But let him go to Stam, Maldini, Ronaldinho is not afraid, but the risk is too great!


    The probability of attacking is still the highest with teamwork as the main means!


    Aldrich shook his head secretly.


    If AC Milan wanted to solve the battle with a counterattack + personal outbreak to win, then he would be very disappointed.


    That would be a humiliation to his work!


    He was serious in preparing for the game, and expended energy, as if he was overkill, he wasted his time!


    But he was wary in his heart that this would not be AC ??Milan''s killer, nor could it be the "gift" Ancelotti prepared for Aldridge in a final.


    But what will it be?


    Can''t guess!


    This is also in line with the change in the thinking pattern of Millwall since the arrival of the first dynasty.


    They will not work hard to think about how to limit their opponents, to rack their brains to figure out what kind of problems the opponents will give them.


    What they have to do is to do their best as possible, it should be opponents to limit them.


    If the opponent can''t restrain Millwall.


    Then no matter how bad the game is, it is nothing more than returning to a very original picture of football: who scored more goals!


    At this point, Millwall has strong self-confidence.


    After losing the first ball, AC Milan''s defense has been adjusted, it can be said that it is strategically forced to give up the protection of the side of the danger zone.


    In other words, they will not try to make the fan-shaped dangerous zone in front of the door tightly sealed, and strategically give up on the blocking of a certain shooting angle!


    In this way, it can be ensured that the front will not be penetrated to the maximum. If it is laterally, it will be penetrated. As long as the offense cannot be successfully transferred to the front zone, then Millwall will shoot, the angle is slightly smaller, and the probability of scoring exists. Yes, but as long as Dida does not make a low-level mistake, Millwall''s shot is not tricky. AC Milan''s city gate seems to be shaky, but it has never lost the second ball.


    Aldrich''s main energy is to figure out the AC Milan offense routine.


    What are they planning?


    According to the current general trend, Serie A has fallen from the world''s first league throne and is entering a trough. From a technical and tactical point, the big reason is that it is speed!


    This speed is relative. Compared with the fast pace of the Premier League, Serie A naturally appears to be slower!


    Therefore, the Serie A team will appear to be a slow shot when the overall team is playing against each other.


    Corresponding to AC Milan, AC Milan itself can be among the top teams in Europe now and in the next three years. The important reason is that they have a Kaka who has reached the peak.


    Pirlo was the organizer, but he could not bring an unpredictable speed burst.


    In particular, his position is backward, even if it is a long pass, but the farther the ball flies, the longer the flight time, and the more time it takes to react to the opponent.


    However, when Kaka is in the frontcourt, when playing a midfielder or shadow striker, his speed explosiveness is an elusive point. His acceleration will change the game and cause a chain reaction on the opponent¡¯s defense line. The team does not have players like Kaka, so Kaka was the "one person can decide the game" in the original Serie A.


    Although the kaka in 2005 is the same as the kaka in 2007, it can be said to be two kaka.


    But now the problem that troubles AC Milan is: they don''t have Kaka!


    The lineup does not have this acceleration point!


    Rely on long pass?


    Pirlo''s long pass has already given the answer.


    When the ball flew from the backcourt to the frontcourt, Millwall¡¯s defensive player predicted that it was top-level. When the ball flew less than 1/3 of the way, De Rossi, Nesta, Schneider, Ram, and even Azerbaijan Lonso, maybe everyone except Silva can accurately predict the specific location of the landing point, and then observe the opponent''s attack development while making the best decision.


    In the course of this brief time lapse, it will make AC Milan''s players more and more dangerous, because before they receive the ball, Millwall''s defensive players are approaching them step by step quickly, waiting for a snatch, Or they started physical confrontation directly before they received the ball, making them very uncomfortable.


    Such an attack is impossible to penetrate the Millwall defense line!


    Millwall made three consecutive shots from the side of the AC Milan defense zone, Villa on the right, Henry and Ronaldinho on the left, all three shots ended in invalidity.


    So Millwall started trying to hit the middle!


    In the 31st minute, Kaka, Ronaldinho and Alonso made a triangle pass in the middle, then Kaka tried to break through AC Milan''s defense line directly in the middle. The ball breakthrough obviously underestimated the opponent.


    Gattuso was indeed shocked by Kaka¡¯s explosive power, but he did not completely lose his position, but engaged in physical confrontation with Kaka, Kaka was squeezed a step away, if the front was unobstructed, Kaka simply bypassed After two steps on the outside, Gattuso could be broken, but after AC Milan strategically lowered the side protection, the emphasis on the center was extremely strong. Maldini did not have the chance to rush forward. He stepped forward and cut the ball directly. , And passed to Pirlo who started running.


    After Kaka lost the ball, he quickly rushed towards Pirlo, and Pirlo moved elegantly to protect the ball when Kaka rushed. When Kaka lost his center of gravity and needed to catch a breath, Pirlo seemed to take the ball slowly but smoothly. Step forward.


    Aldridge was alert at this time.


    When Pirlo and Seedorf, Rui Costa, and the three made consecutive triangle forward attacks in the midfield, Aldridge''s expression changed, and there was a vicious look in his face, muttering to himself: "I know, I knew it! Karlo, this is your main offensive method! No wonder your hair is almost white, it''s really **** clever!"


    Millwall''s frontcourt players are defending, including Ronaldinho, but they made a mistake!


    A mistake misled by AC Milan!


    They are chasing Pirlo!


    Instead of returning to the backcourt to fill the backcourt space!


    why?


    Because at the beginning, they ran back, Henry, Kaka, harassment retracement in the middle, Ronaldinho and Villa ran back in the back lane along the inner side of the road.


    However, Pirlo has been launching a long pass attack before!


    Millwall''s frontcourt player hasn''t run a few steps, and suddenly found that AC Milan''s offense has been ended!


    After several consecutive times, their defense naturally became to intercept Pirlo, subconsciously thinking that as long as Pirlo was attacked, AC Milan''s attack would be over!


    Now, this is a trap!


    A trap with Pirlo as the core!


    Let Millwall''s overall defense be paralyzed!


    In general, no coach would dare to do this, because this is a sacrifice, a gamble!


    The elapsed time is the price!


    Game time is the foundation of everything. Without time, how can there be offensive, defensive and scoring goals?


    However, thinking the other way around, if AC Milan played this way from the beginning, would it be magical?


    Will you receive the effect that the three No. 10 players are now advancing quickly through superb ball skills and a small range?


    How could Millwall present to the audience a picture that will make the opponent''s soldiers crush the situation?


    AC Milan has no acceleration point, and Ancelotti also knows this point. At this moment, Ancelotti clenched his fists, seemingly Gu Jing''s face, but his facial muscles were trembling undetectably.


    However, AC Milan has the most stable midfield in the world!


    Pirlo, Seedorf, Rui Costa, all three are master passers!


    After getting rid of Millwall''s frontcourt defense, the three quickly moved forward in a triangular position, not too far away, and after maintaining a reasonable position, the three passed through Millwall''s midfield defense by passing each other. !


    One-on-one is a very special situation.


    There are not many one-on-one pictures on the court. Even if it is on the wing, the winger and the full-back, and the contact with the middle player, there are more possibilities.


    Millwall has only Alonso and De Rossi in the midfield, but AC Milan has three points. 2 defense 2 is probably no problem. 2 defense 3. To prevent the three passing masters of AC Milan, what is Millwall?


    The AC Milan fans in the stands were excited. They could clearly see the different momentum of AC Milan''s attack. This is the biggest change in AC Milan''s momentum after the opening. There is an unstoppable sharp show!


    Sharp pointed at the crazy lion!


    Now, it''s time to get your teeth back!

 Chapter 1096： Post-control

    Judging by the situation on the battlefield in this pinnacle of the Champions League, Millwall is like a high mountain.


    While AC Milan is as fine as flowing water, eroding opponents in silent flow. When conditions are ripe, the streams converge into rivers, and then develop and change, becoming a magnificent sea, setting off stormy waves, impacting this high mountain that will be worn by water droplets!


    Pirlo, who interprets elegance in the cold, has come to Millwall''s waistline.


    Alonso, De Rossi is the enemy!


    They felt unprecedented pressure!


    Because, in the past two years, they have never encountered opponents whose midfield passes are so stable, making them unable to start, in addition to guarding the most basic defensive essentials, they dare not have other ideas to act rashly.


    Two years ago, Millwall played against AC Milan in the European Super Cup.


    Two years later, Alonso and De Rossi, they think they are stronger than two years ago, and AC Milan players are old, although Pirlo, Gattuso can not be considered old, but 33 The year-old Rui Costa is clearly at the end of the day, and they assume that the picture of being a little embarrassed by AC Milan two years ago will not appear, but at this moment, they only knew that they were wrong!


    Absolutely wrong!


    The wrong person is not only the two of them. The players who should have returned to the frontcourt to pursue Pirlo for the first time and the players who made the wrong choice of defense are also awakened at this moment!


    The aging AC Milan is shrewd like a demon, and confrontation is the edge that can''t stop Millwall, but they chose to use a more wise way to defeat Millwall!


    Here we have to mention AC Milan''s strike line in addition to the classic number 10 players forming the midfield.


    Shevchenko does not need to say much, and his ability is known all over the world. Crespo should have the ability to reach a super first-class striker. Unfortunately, the wrong career plan made him ruined by frequent transfers. This "ruin" is a Lamenting and regretting, the players who were able to reach the transfer value of 55 million euros in the past must be very close to the "world''s first". Just like Vieri in a certain period, there is no doubt that it is the world''s first in a certain stage. A center!


    It can only be said that Crespo stopped at the threshold of "world''s first" competition, but he can''t say that his strength has dropped significantly. At this stage, he is still in the top class. There is no suspense. The appearance of Serie A is unstable, but There are 10 more goals. In Serie A, where the goal rate is low, the efficiency is pretty good. Especially in the AC Milan league, the goals themselves are only in their early 60s, and he has a stable scoring efficiency in the Champions League.


    Shevchenko and Crespo were very calm when cooperating with the midfield attack.


    They didn''t go directly to the center of the penalty area to wait for the opportunity. The style of the column center''s running position has nothing to do with them. If they even have one person directly in the center of the penalty area, then Millwall will face a sudden pressure drop in this defense!


    The reason is that AC Milan''s Christmas tree formation, or the style of AC Milan who coaches AC Milan today, is also criticized for one thing, that is, the wing looks like a short board.


    Taking Seedorf as an example, it is difficult to imagine what a player without absolute acceleration can do on the side, but lacks the tear of the side. The opponent¡¯s back line can naturally concentrate on defending the dangerous zone in the penalty area and compress the space here. .


    Crespo and Shevchenko, they are one left and one right, like two sharp knives, standing in the area in front of the penalty area but not pulling the edge, always ready to cut in!


    This is where the two strikers of AC Milan are smart!


    Millwall''s four guards barely dared to move.


    The full-back cannot be too tight, and the central defender can''t support the backline. Once moved, the few possibilities of the forward running position will seize the vacancy exposed by the change of the Millwall back line.


    It can be said that Shevchenko and Crespo are suppressing Millwall''s line of defense in a "eye-to-eye" posture, thereby cutting the connection between Millwall''s back and the back.


    Make Pirlo absolutely destroy Millwall''s waistline in a limited time!


    When the offensive came and had to make a choice, Pirlo, a ruthless and elegant master, began to use his organizational talents. First, he passed the ball to Rui Costa, who had a front waist that was running to the right.


    Rui Costa¡¯s position is bound to attract De Rossi¡¯s attention. Even if De Rossi doesn¡¯t lose the barrier that holds the front center of the penalty area, he still has to move a few steps to Rui Costa¡¯s side, beware of Rui Ruis. The next step after the tower catches the ball.


    Rui Costa hits the ball and passes it back to Pirlo.


    Alonso is the most embarrassing. He dared not grab it, but he can¡¯t ignore the role of Pirlo in the restricted area. In fact, in the process of training Alonso, there are some actual combat techniques used. Pirlo is one of the templates.


    He knew too much about the role of this crazy lion senior in front of the penalty area, and if he was allowed to shoot forward with a long-range angle, it would be disastrous.


    Pirlo suddenly accelerated when dealing with Rui Costa''s return pass, kicking the ball directly to Crespo in the direction of the rib of the penalty area.


    After the pass, Pirlo immediately rushed forward, and between the electro-optical flints, Alonso naturally had to keep up with Pirlo, blocking Pirlo''s forward route.


    However, he did not notice that the place where Pirlo''s corner of the eye cast was on his left front.


    And there, Alonso neglected it, or that he couldn''t help it, he couldn''t beat his opponent with two hands!


    Crespo has a chance to catch the ball, and he must have caused Schneider and Nesta to be vigilant, one is to block the outside line, and the other is to block the inside line, as long as Crespo dares to stop the ball and turn around, or the horizontal dribbling adjustment, Will definitely be cut off by the Millwall guard bag!


    However, Crespo didn''t stop the ball. He shot the ball on one foot. It was more like he stopped the ball and stopped it. It was just right to give the ball to the foot of a person ambushing behind him.


    Seedorf!


    Nesta screamed!


    He came to block Crespo, revealing an empty space, which may have both a running position and a shooting angle.


    Shevchenko on the other side was indeed incisive. Seedorf could pass a pass, but he did not. At his position almost 25 yards from the goal, Millwall''s goal was already exposed in his vision. Out, the positions from Alonso and De Rossi did not block his shooting line, and the two were caught by Rui Costa and Pirlo.


    Silva focused on Shevchenko wholeheartedly, and didn''t realize that he was far away from Nesta, and the middle gateway opened!


    Like a heavenly road!


    Seedorf unattended, struck a world wave of four seats!


    The ball flew to Millwall''s goal very quickly, a straight line, like a sword, struck through the air!


    Bute flew to the extreme, but failed to touch the ball with his fingertips. This ball was too tricky, almost hitting the dead end of absolute theory!


    "AC Milan equalized the score! The founder was Seedorf, and his long shot outside the penalty area blasted Millwall''s city gate! A wonderful goal, a beautiful violent aesthetic! This ball is difficult to interpret and more perfect, There was a problem with Millwall''s mark, and no one harassed Seedorf at all. This mistake, if it will cause Millwall to miss the championship, then this will not be forgiven!"


    AC Milan team players celebrated passionately, the fans of the Red and Black Legions in the stands recovered their confidence and re-looked forward to the first great glory in history!


    Ancelotti didn''t smile, but his face was more tense, as if he was overstrained. He opened his suit and pulled the belt with both hands, uh, lifted his pants.


    Nestor, the chief defense of Millwall, sighed helplessly.


    This ball is not so much a mistake in the back defense, it is better to say that in this attack and defense battle, Millwall''s midfielder was defeated!


    From the basic formation, there is an unambiguous interpretation.


    AC Milan is 442.


    Millwall is 433.


    In the midfield, Millwall is one less than his opponent!


    However, when attacking, AC Milan will not excessively invest in Gattuso''s midfielder, so Millwall should be able to compete against each other evenly.


    In actual combat, such a comparison cannot be applied to the game, because Millwall''s defensive philosophy is not a midfielder or 3 players, but should be at least 5 people! Like their offense, the reason for the strong midfielder is that the full-backs come forward and the striker retreat should play a very important role.


    In this defense, if Kaka, Villa and Ronaldinho, whoever can return to the backcourt immediately, instead of going to Pirlo, Millwall will not appear to be suppressed by the opponent. Not afraid to move.


    In this season, Millwall''s defensive line has established a new leader on at least two lines. The back line is led by Nesta, and the midfield is led by De Rossi. Originally, going forward, the three-line defense has no problems and is closely combined. Precisely because in the midfield position is the iron man Nedved as the defensive leader.


    However, with the advent of the new generation, Aldridge¡¯s thinking will also change. He can¡¯t turn Kaka into Nedved, and the concept of team building in the future is also changing. The so-called offense is beautiful, then the backcourt It is necessary to inject more power to provide strong rear protection in the frontcourt.


    But the concept of the team''s defense should not be a problem. Defensive ability is another matter. Attitude and ability do not affect each other. Like Pirlo, he can''t defend. Everyone knows, but he is still contributing to the defense.


    Nesta communicated with De Rossi, and before restarting the ball, De Rossi again communicated with Villa and Kaka.


    The content is actually very simple. De Rossi can¡¯t direct Ronaldinho and Henry should do, but for Kaka and Villa, he is not a commander, but just a normal communication. The problem is to alert teammates to avoid making the mistakes just made.


    At the same time, Ronaldinho and Henry are also communicating.

 Chapter 1097： The same

    The situation on the court should still be Millwall dominant, but the score is a draw, which will inevitably make players think, why?


    "Will you continue to hit the middle? The effect I just played seems to be very general."


    Ronaldinho frowned slightly, confused.


    He was puzzled by himself, and he always felt that the rhythm seemed wrong and had an advantage, but it was so subtle that it seemed to have little effect.


    Henry also did not understand, and replied softly: "Maybe some luck?"


    Millwall has scored more shots than AC Milan, but failed to score the second goal, it may be bad luck, do not use science to interpret the football thing, it will make countless scientists die.


    "It doesn''t feel very similar. I always feel that the rhythm is wrong, not right, what is wrong, and I can''t say it."


    Ronaldinho was a bit tangled, he turned to look at the sidelines, probably subconsciously asked him to ask Aldridge for help.


    It was at this time that Aldridge gestured in the direction of him and Henry.


    Aldrich has many gestures, but most of them are simple and clear.


    Playing the middle, side, defending, fighting, fast-paced, slow-paced, more in-cut, long-range and the like.


    Over the years, players have become accustomed to it, and no one will be confused.


    Ronaldinho saw the calm Aldridge gesture and looked down. Henry turned his head and looked back, then stepped on the ball and said to Ronaldinho: "The boss let us continue to play inside attack, meaning don''t take the middle Offensive."


    Ronaldinho nodded and said: "I seem to understand why I feel the rhythm is not right. Well, as the boss asked, we continue to play inwards, which should be our main attack direction! "


    At the time, Aldridge didn''t know what Ronaldinho and Henry were talking about. He was just doing his job, making adjustments after reading the game from his own perspective.


    But Rodriguez said that the "rhythm is not right", but Aldridge saw the reason.


    That is, AC Milan weakened the side defense, the main energy is placed in the front of the central defense!


    Millwall''s offense blossomed more and spread out, so their rhythm changes can also be traced.


    After scoring, Millwall made several threat attacks from the side attack. According to the normal rhythm they are used to, such threats will panic opponents!


    Then the opponent makes adjustments, and will definitely strengthen the protection of the side, thereby exposing the lack of the middle. This rhythm is precisely the opponent''s strengthening the side, weakening the front defense of the middle, and then Millwall plays the middle again during the same period, completely letting the opponent collapse!


    But AC Milan didn''t make adjustments, and Millwall''s "self-intelligence" turned into trouble, and hit the iron plate exclusively!


    So Ronaldinho will feel wrong. Originally, he would be more threatened when he turned into the middle after making a threat from the side attack, but the result was easily resolved by the opponent. It seems that he was doing useless work before and wasted. This of course will make the player uncomfortable, like He gave away the advantage by himself.


    This is called clever and wrongly clever!


    If you are playing an ordinary team, Millwall really wouldn¡¯t think so much, but instead playing a top team such as AC Milan, a team with strong adaptability and adaptability, who are changing more with their opponents. Who''s rhythm changes faster, they have been pulling the opponent in this way, I didn''t expect AC Milan to be as constant as the general team.


    After making adjustments, Aldridge shook his head secretly.


    He didn''t expect AC Milan''s defense to be such a gesture today.


    He would not have lamented how much he thought about it. Millwall seeks change and destroys his opponents with a changing rhythm. This is the main method. It cannot be changed, and he must stick to it in the future.


    It''s just that he may have miscalculated AC Milan''s defensive strength.


    Overestimated each other!


    The offensive side is constantly changing, so the defensive side, in theory, must constantly adapt.


    However, Ancelotti probably has self-knowledge. If AC Milan responds passively and constantly adjusts, the defensive system keeps complementing each other, adjusting the defensive center of gravity, formation tilt, etc., then AC Milan will definitely not keep up with Millwall''s rhythm !


    On the one hand, the backline players are indeed older, and the more passive, the more physically depleted they are, the more they will be consumed. They may be able to surrender after 45 minutes and are unable to fight.


    On the other hand, the post player is unstable. This unstable point is Stam.


    The 33-year-old Stam, who has experienced half a season of rehabilitation this season, is in an unstable state after recovering from injury. He has not made a big mistake in the battle with Juventus Tianwang Mountain, but he has been disappointing. The performance, it was his confrontation with Trezeguet defeated, let Trezeguet scored the only goal of the audience, AC Milan defending defeat!


    In order to change constantly, Aldridge will also use this concept, but most of them are only used when training young players, because young players are not capable enough, they are not experienced enough, and they want to keep up with the opponent¡¯s offensive rhythm in defense. It is difficult for some strongmen. In case of a top opponent, he may make many mistakes in a game because he will be lost in the endless changes of his opponent.


    Like Silva, Aldrich¡¯s task for him is very simple. Don¡¯t think about making up for other positions, just do your job in your area, keep improving, and wait for it to be done in your own area. When it is impeccable, we will expand our horizons and focus on a broader pattern.


    This is a kind of thinking on the court that "the poor is better off and the other is better".


    Ancelotti never laughed after equalizing.


    The situation on the field is delicate.


    AC Milan equalized the score, but with the same mistake, Millwall would not commit a second time!


    So when AC Milan wanted to move forward from the defense to the midfield No. 10 combination to move forward steadily, they faced another picture.


    Millwall''s defense is very tight!


    Kaka, Ronaldinho, Villa, no matter whether they can intercept successfully, at least they will quickly return to the midfield and backcourt. Even if they act as a human wall and hinder AC Milan''s shooting angle, they will alleviate the pressure on the back line.


    This makes it difficult for AC Milan to play an effective threat offensive.


    Ancelotti did not realize that his face was flushed, probably caused by excessive tension.


    Dropping the ball first is indeed a bit of a disadvantage, but it is still within the range.


    The score was equalized and the situation started to get better.


    Even now Millwall has not given AC Milan a good chance, which is within the expectation of Ancelotti.


    He is waiting, waiting for the situation to be reshaped.


    AC Milan has a back hand and wants to rely on a routine to turn Millwall, which is too whimsical.


    At the same time, Millwall launched a crazy inward attack.


    Alonso and Kaka went through the needle in the middle, with Ronaldinho and Ram on the left frequently swapping inwards, Schneider assisted on the right and Villaincut was the main offensive discussion. The left and right sides were bombed in turn, Henry Then a wide range of travel, from time to time will replace Ronaldinho or Villarization as a threat.


    In the 34th minute, Ronaldinho took the ball along the left side and undercut, knocked the ball back to the left of the arc of the penalty area in front of Cafu, Pirlo was about to catch the ball, but Ram was preempted to step forward and insert the ball. , Ram slammed the ball over his right foot and shot from long range! Unfortunately, the ball is higher than the goal.


    Two minutes later, Schneider made an indirect cut without passing the ball after dribbling the ball on the right. When Caraze made an emergency from the inside line, Schneider crossed the middle of Henry. Henry kicked the ball and diagonally plugged the right side of the rib. After anti-offside, Villa volleyed a small angle to hit the goal, Dida hugged the ball.


    In the 39th minute, Kaka drove the ball in the middle of the road, and after meeting Gattuso, he passed the ball directly to the right and handed it to Villa. The latter passed the middle of the road. Ronaldinho and Henry crossed the position and Ronaldinho kicked the ball. Straight behind Sestam, Henry shot the ball under the interference of Cafu''s income.


    Another minute later, Lahm shifted a wide range of offense in the backcourt. Schneider set a perfect stop on the right side of the road. He moved forward along the sidewalk and also made a large-scale offensive transfer after halftime. After stopping the ball on the other side, he cut into the middle and Kaka inserted it straight. Henry passed the ball to Villa. The latter used the outside foot to push the ball into the penalty area. Kaka rushed to the goal before Maldini. Unfortunately, Mal Tini blocked it with his body!


    Seeing Millwall''s offensive, wave after wave.


    Ancelotti was uneasy.


    He saw that Millwall had reacted and did not frequently switch the offensive center of gravity, always attacking AC Milan''s two ribs.


    That''s where they have the weakest defense, but they can''t fill it deliberately.


    What to fill?


    Pulling the whole body up, this chain reaction is absolutely unbearable for AC Milan.


    Maybe I can only pray for luck now!


    While AC Milan is under heavy pressure and cannot shape the game situation, Ancelotti understands that unless Milan luck scores an unexpected goal, AC Milan wants to create a threat offensive again, it will be in the second half.


    Millwall''s more than 10 minutes of mad attack still did not receive a goal. It seems that their luck is really bad.


    However, this is not Millwall''s full offensive strength.


    They are good at hiding offensive points and good at hiding real killers.


    All previous offenses were a foreshadowing.


    They use teamwork to create opportunities and rarely threaten personal breakthroughs in the area.


    In the opponent''s defensive habits, it is also easy to cause the opponent''s paralysis.


    The strategy of AC Milan scoring Millwall to equalize the ball is similar.


    In the 43rd minute, the first half is about to end. If there is no accident, AC Milan will completely stop in the last two minutes.


    However, the deadly attack that Millwall really wanted to launch came at this time. This may be the core of the offense, Ronaldinho and Henry, have such a tacit understanding when they restart the ball.

 Chapter 1098： Mark Twain says

    In the 43rd minute of the game, Rui Costa wanted to simply pass the ball to Crespo in the frontcourt, but it was unfortunately seen by De Rossi, and Alonso''s interference with Rui Costa played a role. Rossi successfully intercepted the ball and Millwall immediately launched a fast break.


    This fast break was launched from the right.


    Schneider drove the ball forward. He did not stick the ball too much. When the field of vision was wide and the teammates had a suitable receiving space for the current position, Schneider passed the ball directly to Villa in front.


    Villa dribbling speed is not too fast, he did not try to dribble advance, but to form contact with his teammates in the middle.


    Henry was still in the front waistline, receiving a cross from Villa and backing Gattuso to knock the ball back to Kaka who followed up.


    Kaka''s forward pass broke Seedorf''s defensive line. When he came to Gattuso, Henry had already run forward and Kaka passed the ball straight to Henry.


    Henry still scored a goal, and it seemed that Millwall was going to stage a good show that brought the ball into the AC Milan goal.


    Fans at the scene marveled at the overall view of Millwall''s offense. Henry''s pass was to kick the ball directly to the left, where Ram, who rushed forward from the attack, ran to the winger position.


    Ram stopped the ball, pulled horizontally, and after making sure that he caught Cafu''s attention, gently passed the ball to the right.


    Where, Ronaldinho has rushed up.


    Ronaldinho controlled the ball and dribble forward. At this time, Henry was in the center position, between Nesta and Maldini, Kaka followed in the back row, pinned Gattuso, and Pirlo was in Ronaldinho was already thrown away when he rushed to the ball.


    Ronaldinho drew the ball straight to the left rib of the penalty area. Cafu and Stam were ready to close the door. When Stam had moved to Ronaldinho and Maldini also moved to Henry for close snatching, Ronaldinho suddenly Slowing down the pace of the ball, his gaze turned to the area where Henry was, and the center of gravity of the body also tilted slightly to that side.


    Stam was puzzled and felt that Ronaldinho was going to pass the ball to Henry, or dribble the ball past him!


    Ronaldinho had a wider shooting angle on the front.


    Between the electro-optical flints, Ronaldinho''s right leg lifted forward slightly, which made Stam not dare to grab it easily.


    I saw that Ronaldinho''s right foot shook half a circle in front of the ball. When his right foot landed, Stamm''s center of gravity surrendered!


    His judgment is that Ronaldinho will pull the ball to the middle of the road!


    However, he was wrong!


    Ronaldinho''s coherent movement is to step on the bicycle with his right foot and move the ball forward with his left foot!


    At the moment of striking the ground and pushing forward, on the left side of Ronaldinho, Cafu is two steps away from him. Stam and Ronaldinho pass by!


    Stam did not dare to get started, this is already in the penalty zone!


    Stam wanted to use his body to block Ronaldinho, but his body could not obey his command, because at that moment, his body''s center of gravity was leaning forward instead of panning horizontally!


    When the two passed by, it seemed that everything was in slow motion, but the expressionless expression in the face showed frightened Stam woke up: cheated!


    Ronaldinho neither passed the ball to Henry, nor did he pull the ball laterally to swing out of the shot.


    His choice is to break forward!


    Stam seemed to be able to see Ronaldinho''s unwavering eyes at this time, as cold as a sword, and able to break through all barriers that hindered his progress!


    When Stamm¡¯s forward inertia of the center of gravity ended, he immediately turned around and chased Ronaldinho. They were not far away. If Ronaldinho was still, Stamm only needed two steps to catch up!


    However, Ronaldinho only took two steps after the breakthrough. The breakthrough was to use the left foot to roll the ball, so in order to be able to form the most threatening shot, especially the shot angle became smaller because of a straight line breakthrough, he took the first step right The force of the foot is to move his position to the left side of the ball, and also to use his body to block the side Kafu behind him.


    In the second step, the left foot fell on the left front of the ball, supporting the body, combining the trajectory and speed of the ball rolling, swinging his right leg, looking at the goal, he did not go to see Dida blocking the near post, he Fellow.


    There is no third step. On both sides behind him, Cafu and Stam are only one step away from him.


    This step is close at hand but it seems like a world!


    Ronaldinho''s shot is complete, rubbing at a small angle!


    Rather than shooting a half-height ball or a high ball from the far corner to hit the dead end, this time, Ronaldinho''s calmly rubbing shot is a foot control that allows the ball to be very low from the ground.


    This kind of ball is almost a dead goalkeeper!


    It''s hard to use legs.


    It''s harder by hand!


    Dida lay down to the left and tried to block Ronaldinho''s shot with his body, but unfortunately, when the center of gravity of his body was pressed down, the ball had already passed by him!


    boom!


    AC Milan Gate was penetrated for the second time in this game!


    Ancelotti was tangled and unwilling on the sidelines!


    Only 2 minutes left to hold the draw!


    At this time, he had to sigh that Millwall''s ability to grasp the timing of the attack was too powerful!


    According to the time of the first half of the game, AC Milan will enter the rhythm of the team after the attack just failed.


    In other words, Millwall will not be able to attack this wave, AC Milan will basically not attack!


    By the way, on the eve of this moment, Millwall changed the score on the field, this is not accidental!


    This must not be accidental!


    Ancelotti understood that when Ronaldinho saw countless passes in the first half, he rarely used personal breakthroughs to create threats. Suddenly this time he broke AC Milan''s last line of defense with explosive breakthroughs. This is no accident!


    Moreover, it was Millwall who was creating opportunities for him, or it might be Henry, but in the final offensive position and situation changes, Ronaldinho played the role of the final terminator!


    Ronaldinho ran to the corner flag area after scoring a goal. He didn''t dance the samba dance that fans are familiar with. He opened his arms and raised his face calmly. It wasn''t like playing cool, but the firmness in his eyes was exceptional.


    At this moment, he listened to the cheers of Millwall fans. He did not close his eyes. He was appreciating the fans'' carnival.


    In his mind, silently said: almost, almost!


    What''s almost worse?


    His goal!


    As a player with no higher education, Ronaldinho''s growth, the most affected people, it is Aldridge.


    Once, Aldridge said to him, he was sure he would be unforgettable for life.


    "The most important thing in a person''s life is two days. The first one is the day you were born, and the second one is the day you found your life goal."


    It''s hard to say that Aldrich was instilling Ronaldinho''s life creed, he just applied this sentence to Ronaldinho''s career planning.


    Without a goal, how can it succeed?


    Because you don¡¯t have a goal, you don¡¯t know how to be successful!


    Later, when Ronaldinho was communicating with a talented female college student, he opened his heart and informed him of the mentorship between him and Aldridge. At that time, Ronaldinho learned from his girlfriend that this sentence was not Aldrich said, at least, not what he created, it was Mark Twain.


    Who is Mark Twain, Ronaldinho has no interest at all.


    It doesn''t matter whether it was created by Aldrich.


    He only knew that since he heard that sentence, he was thinking seriously, thinking for a long time, a long time, and finally, on the day he was 20 years old, he set his goals, it is difficult to summarize it as life, at least, it is his profession Career goals.


    Golden Globe Award? European golden boots? Mr. World Football?


    Do not.


    His life started like an abandoned child, and it cannot be said to be extremely tragic, at least a lot missing from the growth of many normal children, especially after the death of his father.


    At Millwall, he got everything, and the Lion King Stadium was like his home.


    Millwall has accomplished him, he must also return Millwall, do his best to achieve Millwall!


    Therefore, his goal is to make Millwall the first in history!


    The goal is naturally higher, and the club does not have it.


    In the fall of 1998, when Ronaldinho really stirred up the beam, Millwall was already the king of Europe. At the age of 20, Millwall also completed the restoration of the European king!


    Therefore, his goal will only be higher than that.


    Millwall is not just a king of Europe in a certain year!


    To become the first king of Europe!


    Just a little bit, after defeating AC Milan today, there is only one championship. Millwall will be on the throne of the absolute king, and all European giants will crawl and tremble at the feet of the mad lion!


    "Before the end of the first half, Millwall regained the lead with Ronaldinho''s wonderful goal, 2:1, a score that did not let the game lose its suspense, Millwall could not relax, AC Milan was also sure I will do everything I can to reverse the game in the second half! We believe that the second half will be more exciting!"


    In the last 3 minutes of the first half, AC Milan did not want to defend, but Millwall took the initiative to converge the attack, they did not dare to go too aggressively, because they were convinced that once the initiative was pressed out, Millwall would definitely, definitely They will be punished no matter how much time is left.


    Ancelotti entered the player''s channel seriously, and AC Milan''s midfield adjustment required him to think too much.


    Aldridge also walked slowly towards the player''s passage in the face of Ruth.


    He does not believe that AC Milan has only one set of technical tactics to deal with Millwall. It can be said that because AC Milan has several No. 10 players on the field, this can make their technical and tactical play more abundant, although there are certain limitations, such as Defensive stiffness, such as being stretched on the acceleration point, is scarce, but the creativity aspect must be alarming after all.


    But guessing is useless in this respect.


    Just like the opponent predicts how Millwall will play, what''s the use? Useless.


    Only wait for the other party to make a move, if the means of success rate is not high, then it''s okay, but if it really has an unexpected effect, maybe it will have to pay a certain price.


    At halftime, Aldridge fine-tuned his tactics in the locker room. To be honest, Kaka performed so well in the first half, which was also related to the opponent''s targeted restriction of the middle, but at least the role of stable and excessive tandem Kaka still did a very good job. It was just right to make a few breakthroughs to alert the opponent and hold the opponent''s attention. The Kaka still played a role.

 Chapter 1099： Raid and Savior!

    If Aldridge cannot guess what his opponent will do, he will not sit still!


    He will use an everlasting means to deal with the enemy.


    Preemptive!


    No one has stipulated how football should be played.


    Some teams start to defend when they lead, while others slow down, while others will attack more aggressively!


    In a peak matchup, in theory everyone thinks that we should be cautious, and when Millwall is leading, Aldridge takes the sword!


    After the beginning of the second half, Ancelotti was playing with his little abacus, hoping to paralyze Millwall again in the early stage, creating a false impression of a weak offense.


    However, Millwall ignored his opponents, even if they were ahead of the score, they did not lie comfortably in bed waiting for the dream of winning the championship to become a reality.


    Crazy lion, crazy lion!


    Millwall attacked frantically from the beginning of the second half, showing a gesture of not defending at all!


    The midfielder, the defender, took turns in the back row and bombarded AC Milan!


    Although the scene looked very aggressive, Aldridge believes that this will have a good effect on disrupting the layout of AC Milan, because the other party will not expect Millwall to fight in the position, and even dare to let Nesta rush up. !


    In the 47th minute, Alonso took a wide-range pass back from the outside of the penalty area, Dida saved the ball, and Henry followed up to make up the shot and was blocked by Maldini with his body.


    AC Milan intends to use Millwall''s air force to create a threat. Pirlo''s long pass is no longer to find teammates point to point, but to go straight and try to directly play Millwall''s defense.


    In the 48th minute, Bout abandoned the goal and headed to Schneider with a calm head before rushing outside Shevchenko.


    After 20 seconds, Ronaldinho shot from the edge of the penalty area to the inside of the far post, but unfortunately the ball flew out of the bottom line with the crossbar.


    In the 50th minute, Kaka drove the ball for a long distance and made a two-on-one with Villa on the right and then entered the penalty area. He shot the goal post in the side of Maldini and shot it!


    After another two minutes, Millwall passed a nearly 20-foot pass in a patient position battle. Ram suddenly took the ball on the sidelines, Nesta scored into the penalty area and grabbed a header, which surprised the AC Milan team.


    Because Millwall rarely plays such high-point pass tactics on the one hand, on the one hand because of Henry''s header ability is terrible, on the other hand, in the high point competition, AC Milan''s defensive ability is obviously very strong.


    But this time, Nesta''s header made AC Milan feel desperate.


    Stam and Maldini did not expect Nesta to suddenly rush from the backcourt to the front door and unexpectedly grab a point!


    The ball went straight to the top left corner of the goal. Dida did not make a save and was completely unresponsive. His line of sight was blocked by his teammates. From the standpoint of his position, he could only see the ball, but he could not see Millwall¡¯s back. The player rushed up, or, Henry, Villa, the threat of stealing a header was all within his field of vision, and he couldn''t figure out who would appear there.


    At this moment, he can only stare at the ball!


    "3:1, 3:1, 3:1! Millwall attacked AC Milan at the beginning of the second half! And quickly scored a goal, it was Nesta who scored a header! No one can think of it, no one Unexpected! At this time Nesta must have enjoyed very much. Being able to score goals in such a crucial game, not only can he be impeccable on the defensive end, but also can score key goals on the offensive end. This goal is likely to help Milwaukee. I''ll lock the victory!"


    Nesta ran and smiled at his teammates after scoring a goal.


    Aldrich touched his nose on the sidelines, tilting his head slightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was quite evil.


    Ancelotti felt like he was punched in the heart again, almost vomiting blood!


    It is normal to say that Millwall will attack after the score is leading. They are representative of European offensive football. If the score is leading, the attack will be obviously weakened, which is too utilitarian.


    However, Millwall weakened the defense and overwhelmed the offense, which was the typical Aldridge style.


    Don''t play cards according to common sense!


    The change of posture alone made his analysis of intermission a big joke.


    AC Milan subconsciously panicked in shock, slightly overwhelmed.


    They want to implement Ancelotti''s tactical arrangements step by step, but it seems that their opponents do not cooperate with them.


    Ancelotti turned his heart across and gestured towards the players on the court to make them quicker.


    No way, according to his ideas, in fact, 15 minutes before the second half may be a temptation for each other, or a stage to set up Millwall, after 60 minutes, the final death stroke is launched, although the tie is as soon as possible. Okay, but if the score is tied in 70-80 minutes, the psychological blow to Millwall is the hardest!


    At the last moment, if Millwall''s mentality is unbalanced, the probability of AC Milan winning this pinnacle will be greatly increased!


    But all these assumptions are based on the background behind a goal.


    This midfield idea can be thrown into the trash can.


    Now the two goals are behind and the game time is passing.


    Ancelotti must fight, AC Milan must also fight!


    After a wave of surprise attacks, Millwall led the opponent 3-1, and certainly would not give the opponent more opportunities aggressively.


    However, it is still necessary to give the opponent enough pressure. After all, if the rhythm slows down completely, the situation will definitely be better for AC Milan, because their midfield passing stability is the world¡¯s first, and they have the world¡¯s best comprehensive ability to upload. Midfielder combination!


    Aldrich still focused on reading the game, thinking about what other players AC Milan did not play.


    In the 56th minute, he suddenly opened his eyes and muttered, "It turns out to be him!"


    AC Milan still has a stable passing organization in the midfield, which looks similar to the offensive scored by Millwall in the first half.


    However, at this time, they have changed significantly.


    The midfield does not directly give Millwall defensive pressure on the midfield and the back line, but on a stable pass, it seems that it is attracting firepower!


    When Villa, Ronaldinho, and Kaka withdrew to harass, AC Milan still moved quietly in the back row. Then, after the halftime, when the main theater was still in the middle of the midfield, he Stride meteor quickly and plug it in.


    At this time, Rui Costa and Seedorf also forced the backline, causing Millwall''s attention.


    Especially Crespo, he stood close to Schneider, as if deliberately attracting Schneider to himself, distracting Schneider''s attention.


    At this time, Pirlo got rid of Kaka''s harassment in the front midfield area, and then passed a header in the direction of Crespo!


    Schneider was originally defending Cresponeche, and when the header came out, he realized that Pirlo''s ball was not passed to Crespo!


    Because Crespo still runs on an inward trajectory, but the ball did not fly in that direction, it was behind Schneider!


    Who is running behind him?


    Karaze!


    Schneider quickly withdrew and did not grab the ball to settle, mainly to block the opponent''s cross or inward line, this choice is right!


    If he rushed directly to the landing point, perhaps at the moment when the center of gravity was handed over, Karaze could even stop and take away Schneider while stopping the ball.


    Now, Karaze is in trouble.


    The line in the pass was not clear. If it was sent back to Seedorf, De Rossi seemed to be waiting for him to do so!


    In the end Karaze could only barely make a cross, this pass was saved by Nesta header!


    Ancelotti makes head-holding moves on the sidelines, it is a pity!


    But the emotion of regret only exists for less than a second, because I have to start worrying and panic!


    Nesta headed the ball out and Alonso half-turned and kicked the ball in front of the left lane.


    Ram quickly put it on and controlled the ball before the ball came out of the sideline. Without any hesitation or hesitation, he immediately passed the ball to Ronaldinho who was running forward.


    Ronaldinho stopped the ball and turned to speed up. He made a two-on-one with the retreating Henry, and crossed from the left to the right of the center. Pirlo had not returned yet, and Gattuso was in the running. Nearly collapsed, Millwall''s offensive running through the flowers made him embarrassed, and he didn''t dare to swoop a point!


    Karaze didn''t come back, Millwall''s attack has a very big space advantage.


    Although for other teams, this space is often encountered, but Millwall is not, Millwall¡¯s opponent, almost 95% of them are afraid to invest in the full-back attack, which will make the defender line horizontal The defensive area has been expanded to a level sufficient for Millwall to wreak havoc at will.


    Henry as the main goal was marked by AC Milan, Ronaldinho was the second, and Ronaldinho''s dribble was about to enter the penalty area, Gattuso came to defend, Ronaldinho poke the ball forward, Villa close to Maldini dare not He didn''t challenge Maldini, who was as strong as a monster, but instead knocked the ball back to the left of the arc top of the penalty area.


    I have to say that Villa passed the ball very well. There, Kaka rushed up and took a step forward. Henry ran a step left in front of him. Stam didn¡¯t dare to lose Henry, so he moved a step forward. This step, opened the distance between him and Maldini, Kaka slightly changed direction under the cover of Henry, and then accelerated the ball to the middle!


    Kaka has passed!


    But at the same time, Dida also abandoned the door.


    Dida ran out in fright, but he knew he had to abandon the goal when Kaka broke through the defensive line, otherwise he would shoot the opponent with a very wide shooting angle, so the end of the game is definitely dead!


    Kaka had little time left to deal with the ball. He had to shoot. He could only shoot. There was no chance for a cross. Henry and Villa were blocked by Stam and Maldini and rushed in Dida. When he came to continue to expand the defensive area, Kaka chose a kick to push the ball to the dead end of the goal!


    When he saw Dida fell to the ground with his right leg to block the ball without hitting the ball, Kaka almost saw the goal happen because he was sure that he would not miss the shot!


    Perhaps everyone thinks so, but when the ball rolls towards the lower left corner of the goal, about to cross the goal line, a figure cuts diagonally into everyone''s vision, and he blocks the ball with a sliding shovel!


    Cafu!

 Chapter 1100： Reverse and engage in mentality!

    When Villa passed the ball back to Kaka, the experienced Kafu knew that he could not assist the defense in the middle of the penalty area. The study of Kaka is also one of the foundations supporting this prediction.


    So when Ram didn''t rush up, and there was no Millwall offensive point on this side, Cafu simply rushed towards the goal, intending to act as a human wall to block the angle of the opponent''s shot, which was a bit of luck.


    But he became the key person to save the driver!


    Kaka has the same mood as all the audience in the audience: incredible!


    Cafu blocked his must-go goal on the goal line!


    If this goal is scored and the score becomes 4:1, AC Milan will be declared dead!


    After being shocked, Kaka also fell into a terrible annoyance.


    With two left and right corners, why did he choose to push the left side?


    Why was Cafulin given a chance to save the car?


    Is it because the space between Maldini and Dida is slightly smaller, he is worried that the right side of the push will be blocked by Maldini''s long legs? Or is it the inertia of using the right foot to hit the left side?


    Unable to investigate whether his choice was right or wrong at that moment, in short, Millwall missed a golden opportunity to completely kill the game.


    Ancelotti nearly collapsed on the sidelines. At that moment, his heart was really shocked, and almost made him choose his life in despair!


    Fortunately, Dida disarmed, but Cafu accidentally prevented the situation from going in absolute darkness.


    Cafu''s ball is still in the penalty area, Dida turned around and immediately hugged the ball!


    Millwall players also did not complain to the referee about the goalkeeper''s hand-catching pass from his teammates. That was obviously unreasonable. Cafu blocked the goal on the goal line. It was impossible to pass the ball intentionally.


    At this moment, Dida wanted to ease the pressure and slow down the pace, so that the team was calm, but Maldini shouted at him: "Quick serve kick! Quick! Our people are still ahead! This is us Good opportunity!"


    Dida woke up suddenly, and Millwall''s players also recovered from the thunderbolt.


    Yes, this attack can be said to be Millwall''s fast break against AC Milan.


    Flanker Karaze was in front, Rui Costa, Seedorf, Pirlo, were also thrown behind them in the fast break. Now, the attack is not scored, and there is no set ball, the game is still in circulation. AC Milan, in turn, got a golden opportunity.


    This is the counterattack!


    Dida quickly tossed the ball and opened it quickly. The ball was thrown directly by him towards the midfield. Seedorf stopped the ball steadily without marking and turned to pass forward.


    Rui Costa directly knocked the ball back into Pirlo''s running position under the defense. The parallel position had already crossed Alonso.


    Alonso moved to Pirlo''s side, and his movement made Nesta, who was further back, scream.


    Because at this moment, the comparison of offense and defense situation is that AC Milan does not have a complete advantage, but after Alonso moved to Pirlo, the local situation on the other side changed dramatically.


    Probably Alonso ignored a person.


    Karaze did not go back!


    Pirlo really crossed the ball, the ball returned to Seedorf''s feet, and Seedorf had room to move forward, he calmly took the ball forward.


    In order to prevent him from reapplying his old tricks, a terrifying long-range shot, De Rossi must move to Seedorf, at least use the position to block a certain angle of his long-range shot.


    The effect of moving the whole body in an instant occurred, and Rui Costa¡¯s activity space was released to a certain extent. Seedorf passed the ball to Rui Costa in front of the penalty area. The latter stopped the ball and then plugged it in one go. !


    His straight ball crosses Millwall''s defending line exquisitely, passing between Nesta and Schneider. It can be called a straight knife of a scalpel. Karaze lays behind Schneider and keeps the ball vigorously. Sweeping the ball towards the goal, Nesta turned to block it. His movement speed was not too fast, so in this deep offensive defense, he could only watch the ball roll over his eyes, and in front of the goal Point, Crespo grabbed a shot in front of Silva!


    Too close to the goal, Bout has no way at all. Unless there is luck in the world, there is no goalkeeper who can block the goal.


    A strange atmosphere appeared on the stadium stands.


    Fans of AC Milan are naturally ecstatic, while fans of Lions are like dreams, as if a beautiful dream suddenly turned into a nightmare!


    Because almost 10 seconds ago, they were already preparing to cheer for Kaka, celebrating his goal, celebrating Millwall expanding the score to 4:1, the Champions League championship is near!


    But now, they can only watch the score on the scoreboard become 3:2.


    Everything happened too fast, too dramatic and reversed.


    "AC Milan is not dead yet! Crespo''s goal allows AC Milan to dream of winning the championship! 3:2, 3:2, the score gap has returned to a ball, this is really incredible the two sides offensive and defensive collision, clearly Millwall is about to score the fourth goal of the game, but Cafu saved AC Milan at the goal line, and Crespo used goals to make AC Milan see hope. This is football, this is football, this It¡¯s **** football! Fate will change dramatically in an instant!"


    Ancelotti really had a heart attack, and was too late to sigh, "It''s too exciting to have a big life!" After he celebrated the goal roar, he gestured to the players with his hands pressed down to make the team stable. stable!


    Although AC Milan scored a goal, as the head coach, he couldn''t ignore the fact that AC Milan was almost hung on the neck by a rope and was hanged by a crazy lion.


    Karaze did not play well in the first time after being exposed. However, he played an important role in the second wave of offense. He sent an assist, but if he continues to play like this, AC Milan cannot Once on the door line, there is a **** descending to save them!


    It must be stable!


    Millwall certainly will not give Karaze such an opportunity, because time will be less and less, Millwall score is still leading.


    Tactically, Ancelotti has no more preparation.


    It can¡¯t be said that he is poor in skills, but it¡¯s a 90-minute game, even a 120-minute game, you can¡¯t prepare N tricks for the team, it will make the team extremely confused, know that any tactics that have been conceived are The team, even excluding the goalkeeper, is also the 10 people unified thinking, synchronized rhythm to implement, and finally deduced.


    However, the head coach is not arranging such superficial work of tactics, nor is it only tactics that can affect the progress of the game. There is also the most important point in the art of on-the-spot command: mentality!


    After the game restarted, Millwall did not change their style of play, giving AC Milan enough offensive pressure and taking active defense as the basis of the game to ensure that their lead will not be subverted.


    At this time of the game, AC Milan had a situation where there was nothing to do.


    Almost all of the tricks they can use have been used up. The unexpected points of the offense no longer exist. Karaze dare to have a bold appearance of assists. Millwall dared to quickly shift the focus of the attack to the defense area where Karaze was originally responsible!


    This is a gesture of repression, so that Karaze no longer dared to act rashly.


    At the same time, as the game progressed, AC Milan''s physical weakness began to show.


    After all, they were still in the Serie A campaign in the same period, and Millwall won the championship two rounds in advance, and the Premier League ended 10 days. They are more energetic in preparing for this game.


    The disadvantage of AC Milan is becoming more and more obvious, stemming from midfield control.


    However, Millwall did not have many unexpected offenses. Their set of play was in actual combat. AC Milan also had a little experience. This is two different things from the preparation before the game. As the game progresses, it gradually adapts. At least in the conscious pre- Judgment will be slightly improved than more preparations.


    Ancelotti looked at the sidelines, he was waiting.


    Wait time!


    It is now the 63rd minute of the game, basically 12 minutes later, that is, at 75 minutes, the game situation will change subtly.


    This change comes from the mentality.


    If there is only 15 minutes left in the game, Millwall will face a choice: keep winning!


    The score of 3:2 is dangerous.


    But with little time, Millwall can never continue to attack aggressively and boldly?


    Even now the seemingly balanced posture will take another step back, that is, defense, extreme defense!


    Millwall is unlikely to be extremely defensive. At least as a team shaped by the proud Aldridge as an invincible team, he will not be on the throne of the crown of the Champions League with the most defensive utilitarian posture!


    Well, from balance to defensive tendencies.


    Millwall players will need to adjust their mentality.


    This adjustment will be the best time for AC Milan to be desperate!


    Although Millwall is strong, there are still deficiencies.


    For example, Villa, Kaka, how many such peak battles have they participated in? In a game where mistakes are never allowed, can their mentality change perfectly?


    Ancelotti was thinking about it, looking forward to the time when the game time passed.


    Suddenly, a movement on the side of the court caused his pupils to shrink, staring staringly at the coach seat on the other side, with shock and panic flashing in his eyes.


    The picture that came into his eyes made him seem to lose his ability to think, lose his hearing, and all would be silent.


    He can only be passive, helpless, and even he is unwilling to admit that his heart hopes that it is false and an illusion!


    Next to Aldridge, Nedvide and Larsson took off the replacement player¡¯s pullover, and after two conversations with Aldridge, he moved his muscles and walked to the centerline of the sideline easily. Beside the fourth official.


    Obviously, Millwall is about to replace him!


    And, change two at once!


    Ancelotti stared dumbly at the substitution card played by the fourth official, staring at the substitution number played above.


    After confirming that he had read it correctly, his facial expression changed slightly, and he closed his eyes in despair.


    Kaka, Villa, both were replaced!


    Nedved, Larson, two Millwall veterans who have played the battle on the bench!

 Chapter 1101： old boys

    Turkey, Istanbul, Ataturk Olympic Stadium.


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


    The score is 3:2.


    At this time, Millwall made substitution adjustments.


    "Kaka, Villa was replaced by head coach Sir Hall, the two starters performed very well today, and they both participated in the scoring, Kaka was slightly lacking luck, he almost helped Millwall to lock the victory early , Now replace them with seasoned Nedved and Larson. It may be that Hall wants the situation to become more stable. After all, in this team, Nedved and Larson The role of can never be ignored, they are just playing, and may be very powerful for the mental stimulation of teammates."


    The fans of the crazy lions cheered on the spot, not only welcoming the debut of the older generation of heroes, but also praising Kaka and Villa for their performance today.


    Aldridge greeted Kaka and Villa on the sidelines, high-five with them to celebrate, there was no verbal conversation, and it was not time.


    After the substitutions ended, Aldridge turned his attention back to the court.


    The purpose of this substitution is self-evident: stable!


    Nedved will increase Millwall''s midfield hardness, and the vigorous Larson will replace Villa, who is familiar with the opponent''s thorough thinking, and renew a new threat on the front line.


    Aldrich is not a roundworm in Ancelotti''s belly, so I don''t know what Ancelotti is thinking at this moment, he just does his job and does his best to do his best.


    Coming to his height and status today, he has a sense of smell similar to a prophet''s consciousness in grasping the game. He can''t talk about the unknown prophet. He just puts an end to hidden dangers and kills it before the danger may appear!


    If Cafu was not the savior on the goal line, AC Milan wanted to use Karaze to play a strange attack will also declare a total failure at that time!


    However, this **** is football, and can''t entangle "why."


    Ancelotti''s eyes always switched back and forth between Nedved and Larson.


    Millwall''s substitutions will cause a devastating blow to AC Milan from the situation!


    Kaka and Villa are full of passion and shock.


    But they are not stable enough yet!


    This is a psychological level, and a keen sense of rhythm in the peak showdown.


    But Nedved and Larson are different, they bring stability and control.


    They will not beat the position like a teenager who is eager to build meritorious service, excessively pursue high-light performance, they will take care of the overall situation and will judge the situation more calmly!


    It''s too hard to make them make mistakes.


    But then again, mentality alone is not enough. Football, after all, is kicked out by running and with a pair of feet.


    So Ancelotti was watching the two Millwall veterans who came on the bench and wanted to gain insight into their competitive status.


    If their competitive state is bad, then this substitution may be Millwall''s defeat.


    But to his disappointment, Nedved and Larson''s running, confrontation, passing, can not see any strange, impeccable.


    This means that they warmed up enough, and seamlessly integrated into the team''s rhythm after playing.


    Man is a mature demon!


    From beginning to end, Aldridge was very calm. When the time came to the 75th minute, this was the time Ancelotti was waiting for.


    This is also the time Aldridge is waiting for!


    why?


    That''s right, Millwall is about to adjust his posture, gradually slowing down the rhythm and controlling during the game to stabilize the situation.


    But what about AC Milan?


    AC Milan is lagging behind, do they give up?


    No, they must vow to die, even if it is a battle of trapped beasts, they will not kneel in front of the mad lion and surrender!


    Then, in this critical time period, who has a more stable mindset will win!


    This is also an important goal for him to replace Nedved and Larson.


    The game is not over.


    The situation is still changing.


    Millwall, to kill the game, is not to delay the time, let 90 minutes to finish, the score is fixed at 3:2.


    But in the change of mentality of the two sides in the final period of the game, AC Milan was completely defeated in the active search for opportunities, and the opponent on the cliff edge will be kicked completely!


    From the 75th minute, Nedved''s position immediately withdrew widely. This change was very abrupt, and the stimulation to AC Milan was particularly obvious.


    AC Milan will look at this situation. Millwall is about to defend the victory. There is not much time left in the game and there is nothing to worry about. Ancelotti has reached the moment when a decision must be made.


    What else?


    attack!


    Otherwise, if you drag on backwards, if you want to attack again, you may lose the opportunity to exert force.


    AC Milan began to put pressure on!


    They still have one hand to prepare, and Karaze also clearly put on the edge, trying to attract Millwall''s defensive attention, tearing Millwall''s lateral defense width of the back line.


    At the same time, Pirlo controlled the midfield with Rui Costa, Seedorf, and three people. The attack did not mainly develop from the left, but from the right!


    Cafu assists come up!


    The nearly 35-year-old veteran began to burn everything at the last moment, trying to stage a Jedi counterattack!


    The situation changed suddenly on the court, and AC Milan''s strong attack naturally made people feel nervous.


    No defense is absolutely dangerous, especially when the opponent is under pressure.


    Originally AC Milan would have produced such an amazing effect, but the problem is that Cafu is old and it is difficult to make a threat near the bottom line after exposure, but AC Milan lacks a winger and needs to attack at the end to improve the goal. When it comes to probability, neither Shevchenko nor Crespo take the initiative to pull the edge. They are more willing to form a threat in the penalty area and create offensive pressure. If one more person is in the penalty area, there is one more point of threat.


    Cafu did not try to break through in front of Ram, and could only end the offense with a cross.


    It can be said that this attack, the process of AC Milan is commendable, but subject to the lineup configuration, at the last minute, but did not play a new, unexpected way of attacking the opponent.


    Silva did not give up in the confrontation with Shevchenko, he made a crucial header and made a pass from Cafu out of the penalty area!


    Another problem with AC Milan is that the midfield is a bit soft. In this kind of physical confrontation to create a second attack, Rui Costa, Pirlo, Seedorf, it is difficult to form a threat at two points outside the penalty area. Because in the physical confrontation, when fighting for the landing point, they couldn''t compete with De Rossi, Alonso, and Nedved!


    Alonso calmly passed the ball to Nedved in the parallel position while facing Rui Costa and Pirlo before and after.


    Nedvide took the ball forward, and the speed soared, starting the attack from the middle and backcourt!


    The blonde **** of war drew the ball forward and the field of vision was wide. AC Milan''s defense had only two defenders and midfielder Gattuso, and Millwall had a number advantage after throwing Pirlo in the Nedved dribbling.


    4 hits 3!


    Trident Ganedved, against the opposing double centreback and single midfielder.


    Fans of the mad lions in the stands shouted and cheered for the team.


    Aldridge also secretly clenched his fists on the sidelines.


    This will be an attack that determines the game!


    Ancelotti is praying in his heart. Now, when life and death, AC Milan, who else can turn the tide?


    Pray for Millwall to make a mistake?


    Or did someone drop from the sky to the goal line and block Millwall''s shot?


    Gattuso quickly retreated and did not step forward to stop Nedved, as he would only be used by the other side.


    Nedved and Ronaldinho almost moved forward side by side. In front of them, Henry and Larson ran in a longitudinally dislocated position. Instead of swarming into the center of the penalty area, they had a reasonable distribution of positions and ripped the opponent''s defensive formation .


    Gattuso was in the penalty area and formed a defensive system similar to three guards with Stam and Maldini, but it is not actually a defensive system. The necessary defensive level still needs to exist.


    Nedvide brought the ball to the front of the penalty area, but Larson ran back and pulled out at this time, causing Maldini to lose the mark. At the same time, Nedvide did not pass the ball to Ronaldinho. Suo unexpectedly, Nedvide passed the ball to Larson.


    Larsson crosses again, Ronaldinho catches the ball, Nedvide runs forward, Gattuso fails to stop Nedved, he rushes to Ronaldinho, the moment he predicted the error, he Just lost Nedved, and Nedved went to the penalty area incessantly. Ronaldinho''s pass came as scheduled. Nedved did not give Maldini a chance to harass him and just stepped into the restricted area. The ground is convenient for decisive shots!


    A half high ball hit the door!


    Stam was pinned by Henry and failed to stop Nedved. All AC Milan players looked towards the goal. Except for Dida, he stood on the goal line and did not move. He was still hesitating whether to abandon the goal. The ball has burst into the bottom left corner of the goal!


    After scoring a goal, Nedved ran to the side and took off his jersey, followed by Larson, Henry, Ronaldinho, and from their midfield and backcourt, some teammates also rushed!


    Ancelotti closed his eyes on the sidelines and looked calm.


    ended.


    AC Milan lost.


    "Nedved! Nedved! Nedved! The crazy lion warrior Nedved! 4:2, he changed the score to 4:2, Sir Hall¡¯s substitution received an immediate effect, pull He participated in the attack, Nedvide received a shocking shot from Ronaldinho, Dida did not respond! Millwall led AC Milan again with two goals, and the game time was less than 10 Minutes, AC Milan, there is so little time left for AC Milan!"


    Nedved is enjoying this moment. He and an old boy like Larson have been chasing the wind from the day they came to Millwall in the past 11 years, but they have no time to race and can still appear on this top stage. Also able to score.


    This is simply the most wonderful moment.


    A strange picture appeared on the stadium stand.


    Millwall fans are naturally celebrating.


    But AC Milan fans, it seems that 99% have fallen into the petrochemical state, after the petrochemical is lifted, they have fallen into an inexplicable trough.


    Dead silence, true dead silence.


    Even the live footage is difficult to find the disappointment and painful expression of AC Milan fans in the stands, but a kind of obscure daze and numbness.


    Once, twice, again, again... lose to Mad Lion!


    Seems to reproduce yesterday''s nightmare.


    The mad lion is a lingering nightmare.


    No matter how much expectation and longing for the glorious future, they will eventually be crushed by the mad lions, even if they are close in the process, infinitely close to the realization of the beautiful dream, but then, it seems to be an illusion, fate is teasing and adjusting poison.

 Chapter 1102： Blue Horror

    After Nedved scored, Aldridge released.


    He carelessly rushed to where Nedved was, not just him, but also a group of players on the bench. The wonders on the sidelines were quite spectacular. In the wave of screams and celebrations, Aldridge A wild sprint, behind him, a group of Millwall players followed, some wearing a substitute shirt, some not, they were like a lion on the grassland, as if winning after the release of passion.


    In the corner flag area celebrated in Nedved, Millwall players surrounded here, surrounded by Nedved, Aldridge squeezed in, holding Nedved in one hand and Larson in the other, Roaring with the disciples towards the stands, it seemed that the young man''s stern expression at the moment was a bit distraught.


    It''s hard to say how proud and proud Aldridge''s mood is at the moment. On the contrary, he feels a little guilty.


    The 33-year-old Nedvide, if he is any major in the world, except Millwall, he will be the main force of thunder, but it is Millwall, this season, he turned from the front to the background, from The protagonist of the focus becomes the supporting role of green leaves.


    This process will be difficult and painful for Nedved, but he still accepts everything without complaint and dedication when the team needs him.


    At the end of the celebration, Aldridge hugged Nedved alone, gently patting Nedved''s chest towards the countless mad lion fans in the stands, as if to let the fans always remember this mad lion legend, and Or, what he was suggesting.


    The picture in front of you should be cherished.


    In the not-too-distant future, perhaps if you want to cheer Nedved, there will be fewer and fewer opportunities.


    AC Milan players and their fans feel very similar, watching Millwall players numbly in celebration.


    There is still time for the game, but their morale collapsed at this moment!


    Tired, tired, don''t want to move.


    The rest of the game is running out, miracle? It was like an unfamiliar word, unheard of, and impossible to happen to them.


    Most players are more like fleeing the stadium, going to sleep, and forgetting what happened today.


    Because, it hurts too much.


    The sense of frustration is extremely heavy, ruining their souls, just like viruses entwining their spiritual pillars, constantly eroding them, making this pillar that should be strong and standing in the sky collapsed!


    In their eyes, Millwall is not like an opponent on the football field, but a group of blue devils!


    The devil will seduce you, let you taste the sweetness, will continue to paralyze and soften your will, and finally give you unbearable torture and pain!


    A tough guy like Gattuso also kneeled softly on the turf after losing the ball, and slapped the turf hard with his right hand!


    How much more work?


    How else can we stop this group of demons from plundering victory?


    We have paid everything, everything!


    What about return?


    Where is the return? where is it?


    ridiculous!


    Everything done is ridiculous!


    Even if everything is done, it is ultimately a humble and helpless loser!


    So, what do you spell?


    What are you working on?


    Such emotions may be just an extreme resentment in Gattuso''s heart.


    But for Stam, who once played for Manchester United, Lazio also played against Millwall, and Carazze and Shevchenko have experienced this feeling many times.


    Like a magic spell, like a nightmare.


    Lingering.


    They seemed indifferent.


    Just standing on the spot and bowing his head sadly, without any physical movement to express inner emotions.


    More like a fate, he accepted the reality frankly and irresistibly.


    Then, step by step to their respective positions, ready to restart the kick.


    Needless to say, Aldridge''s players know what to do next.


    Their fighting spirit is high, and their physical fitness is originally better than AC Milan. At this moment, they are winning the championship, and their spirits are greatly encouraged. Naturally, they should be stronger in their posture than their opponents.


    Aldridge''s hunch was wrong.


    He thought that even if there is one minute left, one second, AC Milan will fight to the end!


    This is a public matter that most fans will recognize in their hearts.


    Do not give up until the end!


    This is the embodiment of the spiritual value of football competition and the source of all miracles.


    However, after the kick-off, Aldridge saw AC Milan players as if they were walking dead and did not go to the offensive again. It seemed that they had reached a tacit understanding in a short period of time. Everyone passed each other carefully, only Crespo had hardly ever experienced The people who were defeated by the mad lion repeatedly charged in front, but at this time it was only the courage of the common man, and it was difficult to do anything.


    In the eyes of most AC Milan players, Millwall''s head seemed to have an illusory picture above his opponent''s half. It was a totem of a crazy lion roaring, covering the entire stadium, even if it stood on the sidelines. The polite Aldridge also seemed to have a hand over the sky, palms covering the earth, and controlling everything.


    so horrible!


    It is impossible to fight such an opponent!


    So, they gave up.


    There is no need to work hard anymore, it will only swallow the bitter fruits and disgrace yourself!


    Millwall did not want to give his opponent any chance in the final stage because of his two-ball advantage, so he always maintained 8 people in the backcourt, four guards, double backs, plus Nedvide, and the front attack was handed over to Ronaldinho. , Henry, Larson three people.


    Seeing that the opponent is unwilling to fight, Millwall will attack, but he will not use a more adventurous way. Most of them end the attack with a long shot. Even if the ball is handed over to the opponent, it does not matter, as long as the trident is distributed in the frontcourt. Reasonable, and keep running without the ball to pull out the space, which is a deterrent in itself, the opponent does not dare to invest too much offensive force, afraid to expose the space and be attacked by the opponent.


    The game was not over yet, AC Milan players on the court, fans in the stands, invariably showed a "dead" disheartened atmosphere.


    This made the commentator from England feel very surprised in the live broadcast workshop.


    Martin Taylor said in amazement: "Italian giants, Champions League champion AC Milan, with 9 minutes left in the game, although two goals behind, let us recall what happened in Camp Nou six years ago. Unintelligible, really incomprehensible, why did they give up the offense! Do they have to watch Millwall **** the championship trophy? This should not be the style of a world-renowned giant team!"


    His gold partner Andy Gray spoke intriguingly after a moment of contemplation.


    "Martin, if I were to explain the current situation, I would quote a point from the German philosopher Nietzsche, that is,''The Return of Everlasting Tribulation''! Let us listen to the wonderful beginning of the famous book "The Unbearable Lightness of Life":''Nietzsche Often entangled with the philosophers a view of''return to eternal robbery'', think about the things we have experienced, think about them repeating itself as yesterday, and even repeating itself repeating endlessly! What does this crazy illusion mean?''


    In this, there is a concept that I very much agree with, that is, the foundation of this world is that the return does not exist!


    It is also because the return does not exist that we can easily forgive and cherish the misery that is about to happen, because the misery will pass quickly.


    If the French Revolution was repeated again and again, French historians would not be so proud and proud of Robespierre, because every time he repeats, he will cut off 10,000 heads! What is left for today''s historians to discuss is written records or audiovisual records, and if the true bloodshed is repeated every day, can today''s historians discuss the academics with ease or pretense?


    Put it in our lives, this is also the foundation for promoting the development of the world. Even if you are unfortunate, no matter how hard, and experienced a moment of despair and terror, as long as you are strong and past, you can change your future and let all nightmares leave you !


    But if the tragedy you are going through will repeat itself again and again, then you will lose all your will to resist, because you can¡¯t change anything, and you will sink, numb, and die in ¡®Eternal Tribulation Return¡¯, and no longer exist. "


    Martin Taylor remained silent for a long time and said: "I understand your point of view. On the football field, a failure may soon be forgotten. Fans, players, and the game is past, people It''s always saying: This time you lose, and you win next time! It is this optimistic and positive mental will that promotes the development of football competition. However, there is now a different kind! A public enemy!


    Millwall!


    We can understand why Millwall is the team with the most fans in the world, because they are strong, they always win, they have many superstars with different characteristics! Including them and the world''s best head coach, as well as Millwall''s own development trajectory, it is simply an inspirational classic. They change from weak to strong. This is the dream of countless people in life! Millwall used a football club as a carrier to realize the dream of most people, so this team has the most fans in the world!


    But in turn, Millwall is also the most disliked team in the world!


    why?


    Because of the 20 Premier League teams, fans of at least 15 teams do not like Millwall!


    Manchester United don¡¯t like it, Arsenal don¡¯t like it, Chelsea don¡¯t like it, Liverpool don¡¯t like it, look to Europe, Bayern Munich don¡¯t like it, AC Milan, Juventus, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ??Paris Saint-Germain, etc. Fans do not like Millwall!


    Why is Millwall so hateful?


    Because Millwall has created too many sad memories for them!


    And it is repeated, once, twice, again, again, and even everyone now has a subconscious thought: if you meet Millwall again next time, it will be the last time, the last time...tragedy!


    Just like Andy said, meeting Millwall in the greenery field is like a''return of eternal robbery''. I can now understand that AC Milan has shown a gesture of giving up and escaping on the court, going back in time to summer 96, That summer, Millwall first entered the European arena under the leadership of young coach Odrich Hall. At the end of the summer season in 1997, they won the European Cup Winners'' Cup, defeating the opponent is Barcelona, ??and time back to the present On May 25, 2005, Millwall is about to win their sixth European Championship trophy and the club''s eighth European Championship trophy! From participating in the European War for the first time, to today, 9 years and 9 seasons, Millwall has won eight championship trophies! We can say that Millwall was the founder of the dynasty in the past decade, or that Millwall has created an era of''blue horror'' in European football, and most fans who do not like Millwall are terrified. Yes, they don¡¯t know when this''blue horror'' will end..."

 Chapter 1103： World War I after eight years

    No one or thing in the world will be recognized, praised and respected by everyone.


    Things always have two sides, which is even more so for people who are complex and changeable in themselves.


    Beckham is fascinating, but the people who black him look no less than those who like him.


    Millwall is a superpower, worshipped by countless people.


    But in the same way, Millwall''s two-sided image is reflected in that they are liked by the widest and largest number of fans, but they are also disgusted by the widest and largest number of fans!


    Set foot on the top stage for 10 years, excluding the first year of survival in the League One. In these 10 years, Millwall as a "trophy harvester", as many wins as there are relative losers, even losers The number grows exponentially, because there is only one winner, and the losers are a group in a game where most people compete!


    They repeatedly created pain for some teams, leaving the opponents scarred in front of them, and the new fight was like tearing the old scars, making the opponents feel more painful.


    The pain is extremely numb.


    This "king of king" or "blue terror" has begun to undergo subtle qualitative changes!


    It can be said that the past 10 years have been a quantitative accumulation, and to a certain extent, qualitative changes have taken place.


    Such a situation should not have happened, or the probability of occurrence should be very small, because a team is no longer strong, it can''t beat time, players can''t beat the old, the team wants to continue the strength, it is hard to beat the sky.


    Real Madrid, the last king who can create a similar shock effect, bid farewell to the Champions League for nearly 40 years.


    The last dynasty that was admired, the Milan dynasty, now when carefully comparing the achievements of AC Milan and Millwall in the same time span, people will feel that the two can no longer be compared.


    You can say that AC Milan created the dynasty of that era.


    But it is difficult to say: AC Milan and Millwall are the founders of the dynasty.


    Because the dynasty gap created by the two has been clearly opened.


    The dynasty society is a representative memory of an era, which may not be obvious now, but in retrospect, most people can only think of Puskas and Di Stefano, but it is difficult to say the names of several contemporaries. Beckenbauer, Milan Three Musketeers, Busby Boys and so on, but the history spans nearly half a century, how many generations of players have been drowned here? It can be left for future generations to remember, and what can be recalled is actually very few in each era, and those who can be remembered are often those who stand on the peak of the era at that time.


    This is one of the fears that Millwall creates for many, many ambitious players.


    Because Millwall''s detached strength, it further highlights their humbleness, and it is insignificant for the era. Maybe twenty years later, fifty years later, people in the future may open their mouths to the memory of this era and can say something. The names of Millwall''s great players have forgotten those players who are actually very good at the same time but have repeatedly lost to Millwall in the competition!


    Losing time to Millwall again and again will make the frustration worse and worse, and when it reaches more profound thinking, it will kill their will more.


    AC Milan did not actively try to change anything. In the final analysis, Millwall was too strong, so strong that with their current strength, it was already impeccable.


    Aldridge used the last substitution when the game was about to enter stoppage time.


    Southgate replaces Tiago Silva!


    "Millwall has completed a special substitution. Southgate last played for Millwall for the last time! Although there is not much time left for him, it is also a consolation, and he will completely call the curtain here. , In a few minutes, he will take off the mad lion''s shirt. It is reported that Southgate will go to the FA after retiring. What kind of position he will take, we are not sure yet, now Millwall¡¯s situation is very good, and the fans in the stands can do all they can to express their support and gratitude to Southgate, grateful for his 11 years of contribution to the crazy lion, blessing him in his future career and life Smooth sailing!"


    Two minutes later, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game.


    At this point, the grandstand was already empty.


    Because AC Milan fans started to leave when they arrived in 90 minutes, they left quietly with unspeakable pain, probably also want to go drunk, sleep, forget everything they witnessed today, try not to think about this day as much as possible .


    Millwall won the league and the Champions League in May and defended the double crown!


    And AC Milan lost the league and the Champions League in May!


    On the pitch, AC Milan players are standing where they want to leave, but they can''t!


    Why the **** is the final?


    Why is it the final that makes it impossible to hide the pain after losing?


    Why is it so cruel that you have to stand here to watch the champion to receive the award, and you still have to stand in the spotlight of the world to receive the meaningless runner-up medal?


    Around them, Millwall''s players were in various poses. Nedved and Larson ran to Southgate, and the three first-generation mad lion captains embraced on their knees, as if they had completed a stunning feat!


    That''s right, they wrote their names in history.


    The first in the world!


    Six times with the team to win the Champions League!


    Then Schneider and Bout also walked over, the veterans embraced together, shouted indulgently, and fixed this historic moment!


    Ram and Silva, who really provokes Liang to be the main force, they played with the team as the main force this season. They cannot be described as lucky because they have a contribution that cannot be ignored, and their role in the team is increasing day by day. At the end of the day, no one looked at them in the eyes of newcomers anymore, and it dispelled more worries than at the beginning of the season.


    Ram and Silva rushed around the field excitedly, took off their shirts and waved over their heads, as if to spread their excitement to the world.


    Alonso and De Rossi, the two players who won the title as the main team for the second time, are more calm than last season. They both whispered with a smile on their shoulders and smiled as if they had a big brother style. , Honor and disgrace.


    Even more breezy is Ronaldinho and Henry. They stood on the field chatting on their hips, and I don¡¯t know what they said. Henry smiled very heartily, and Ronaldinho seemed to be lingering in Latin songs in his ears. It''s all like beating.


    Nesta ran to the sidelines, rushed to the stands, kissed his girlfriend passionately, and almost had the urge to propose on the spot...


    Kaka and Villa chatted with Ronaldo in suits and suits on the sidelines. Although Ronaldo regretted, he still had an excited smile, seeming to grab the camera. He deliberately stood on the sidelines of the field with a relatively wide field of vision, and then seemed to be A gentleman pretends to talk elegantly to Kaka and Villa, shaking his head slightly and shrugging from time to time, as if to say he doesn¡¯t mind the absence of the final due to injury, and nodding implicitly like a leader from time to time, as if to his teammates Expressed appreciation for...


    At the end of the game, Aldridge closed his eyes, he was calming his emotions.


    When Nedved scored, he had vented, and he really couldn''t restrain himself.


    Now, he opened his eyes and walked slowly to the opponent''s coach seat, preparing to shake hands with Ancelotti after the game.


    As he moved forward, Ancelotti also approached him, and Aldridge suddenly stopped.


    Because he saw Ancelotti''s eyes, he seemed to understand the meaning of the other person''s eyes.


    Ancelotti doesn''t want to shake hands with him!


    Although he is sure, Ancelotti will not refuse as long as he walks over and reaches out his hand!


    A gentle and graceful handshake ceremony, Ancelotti certainly will not give people a handle, so that the next day the global football media mocked him not only lost the finals, but also lost his demeanor.


    But what about his heart?


    Is he willing to shake hands with Aldridge frankly?


    No, he doesn''t want to!


    At least at this moment, when his team was bruised and bruised by Aldridge led by Millwall, it was not only a game lost, but also a mental blow!


    Aldrich read the hidden "sorrow" and "indignation" in Ancelotti''s eyes.


    He stopped and didn''t walk over.


    If he took another step, it would be like sprinkling salt on Ancelotti''s wound!


    He and Ancelotti are no longer newcomers, and they both understand what the signs that AC Milan showed at the last moment today represent.


    That is the end of a peak, and it will be accompanied by a short period of ebb!


    This is like Millwall''s suppression of Chelsea in the Premier League this season, which will have a profound impact on Chelsea''s local league competition in the next few years.


    For example, Manchester United won the Champions League in 1999, but in the season, and the following season, he rose to catch up with Millwall but was suppressed by the mad lion and could not look up.


    Like last season, the nearly perfect Arsenal was hit by Millwall at the last moment!


    AC Milan, the champion of the Champions League in 2003, was personally destroyed by Millwall in 2005, which will have a major impact on the future development of AC Milan.


    Aldridge can even foresee that after the lack of Kaka, AC Milan, which will maintain its peak competitiveness in the next two years, will not appear again. There will be doubts before. Now, he is sure!


    No one can understand the bitterness of Ancelotti!


    Looking back eight years ago, in the fall of 97, in Nyon, Switzerland, he sat side by side with Aldridge. At that time, he will compete with Aldridge!


    When he left Palma and became the Juventus coach, he wanted to fight Aldridge!


    Leaving Juventus and coming to AC Milan, the UEFA Champions League summit, his most desired opponent is Aldridge!


    When the two finally met on the top stage of the club, eight years had passed since the beginning!


    Eight years, enough for the football world to change the sea!


    Aldridge is no longer that pure passion, pure edge, simple wild and handsome young man!


    Today, Aldrich standing in front of Ancelotti shows a temperament called majesty!


    Fear the opponent!


    Completely impeccable and frightening!


    He and he, the young masters of that year, the peak battle of anticipation, coming eight years later, how much Ancelotti hopes that this battle will come earlier, earlier, earlier!


    Perhaps the sooner he is, the more likely he is to defeat Aldridge, just as Aldridge had also nearly "lost" the hand of Silver Fox Lippi and was defeated by Heathfield!


    But, time, can''t go back!


    Ancelotti was not reconciled, but he had no choice. At this moment, he was unwilling to face Aldridge. He was unwilling to let Aldridge see the eyes he might not be able to hide. There must be a kind of bleakness in there. The light is called "confess".

 Chapter 1104： New history and farewell to an era

    Aldrich took out his habit of sheltering himself from the wind and rain. He didn''t walk to Ancelotti anymore and turned to the court.


    He knew that his move would be interpreted by the media as a shame on Ancelotti.


    Because he watched his actions from beginning to end, it was not difficult to find that he wanted to shake hands with Ancelotti at the beginning, which was consistent with his usual style, but he changed his mind halfway, and the media that likes to make waves will definitely be in the game Later, he criticized Aldridge vaguely. He didn''t care, but he was used to it, just as he could fight with anyone when he was a disciple. He was accustomed to the image of a "bad guy".


    To avoid embarrassing Ancelotti, fulfilling his "retreat" is not difficult for Audridge, but if Audridge walks over to extend his hand, Ancelotti must be a painful suffering.


    Standing in the center of the stadium, Aldridge saw AC Milan players lose their souls. It is difficult to make people feel that AC Milan showed an extremely unwilling emotion after the failure, just like Bayern Munich was reversed by Manchester United, some players kneel Slapping turf sobbing and running, and AC Milan players, there is no such sorrowful vent!


    They are more like going through a nightmare, not yet awake, and wondering when the nightmare will end.


    In the stands, half of the water and half of the flames, while in the stadium, there is heaven and hell!


    Aldrich looked around the Millwall players in the stadium, whether they were rushing to celebrate, whether they were singing and celebrating with hook and shoulders, or having fun and lively conversations, etc., all showed a positive and positive side, flourishing and making All the people who saw this scene could not question, and even imagined that Millwall''s future would suddenly dim.


    In the end, his sight was fixed on the edge of his own half of the penalty area, where Southgate, Larson, Nedvide, Schneider, Bout, Neal, six people embraced each other and laughed.


    Aldridge''s eyes were dizzy, as if an unreal picture appeared in his eyes.


    That old photo moved to reality.


    Real Madrid star Gento squatted behind six Champions League trophy and smiled.


    And beside him, it gradually overlapped with the current picture.


    The figures of Southgate, Larson, Nedved, Bute, Schneider, Neil, and six others emerged one after another.


    Next to the "Little Ear Cup" in front of Gento, a new championship trophy gradually emerged.


    Big ear cup!


    one two three four five six!


    Six big ear cups!


    Millwall generation of meritorious players, six players in the most glorious history of football!


    Tie with Gento to become the most indelible memory of the Champions League.


    Aldrich immediately looked up to the sky. In the star-studded sky, Real Madrid, AC Milan, Millwall, and the three team''s emblems enveloped the sky in different directions.


    Around their team emblems, the twinkling stars became even more dazzling.


    The same is the six stars, all three clubs are the Champions League six champions!


    The pinnacle symbol of UEFA!


    Aldridge closed his eyes, a voice echoed deep in his heart.


    Step by step, step by step...


    Only one step away, he will create a completely different history.


    Gento will be kicked out of the first historical picture in history. The AC Milan and Real Madrid team logos will also be dimmed and shrunk by the side of the Millwall Lions.


    The entire sky will be shrouded in the emblem of the mad lion.


    The whole earth will tremble at the foot of the crazy lion!


    ...


    The mad lion is crowned sixth in the Champions League!


    The team returned to England for the championship celebration. During these three days, Millwall held a grand parade celebration, team celebrations, and media follow-up reports.


    Like some photos after the game, they will undoubtedly be recorded in the annals of history. For example, Nedved and Larson made a gesture of "six" in front of the championship trophy. Henry and Robbie made a slap gesture. All became photos reprinted by major media.


    After the three-day celebration, Millwall has theoretically started the summer vacation of the team.


    However, no player left London.


    When the day arrives on May 31st, Millwall still has a grand event at the Lion King Stadium.


    Southgate''s retirement and retirement ceremony!


    The day before that, the paparazzi on Fleet Street were ambushing near the airport and had begun to report Southgate¡¯s retirement ceremony.


    Because, at the airport, many football stars have come to London from all over Europe.


    Pirlo, Gattuso, Materazzi, Zambrotta, Thuram, Shevchenko, Trezeguet, and Vieira have arrived from Italy one after another, and just after Serie A, they came to London without stopping.


    Capdevila, Elgra, Vicente, came from Spain.


    Barack and Klose came to England from Germany.


    Fannie, Solskjaer, Pires, Phillips, Ferdinand, Lampard, Makelele and others who are playing in England are also preparing to participate in the celebrations at the Lion King Stadium.


    There are also players from the England national team, including Scholes who has withdrawn from the national team, Beckham, Neville brothers, Irving, Gerald and other players who are still on the national team.


    There are a lot of players who have played for Millwall, and there are players who are now Millwall''s main competitors and even rivals Chelsea.


    In fact, even Ashley Cole, the player with the traitor aura, Millwall officials have issued an invitation.


    There are now extreme fans who can hate Ashley Cole and can reprimand Lampard and Makelele, but for Millwall, the fact that they were once their own players cannot be obliterated. It has become a historical thing and cannot be changed. Yes, only, some players are willing to come here to support Southgate, and some are not willing, such as Ashley Cole, probably he is afraid of being targeted by crazy lion fans and ruining the atmosphere of the time, excluding the club From the standpoint, Ashley Cole was once a close comrade of the national team close to Southgate and climbed to the top of the world together. It is hard to say that he hated Millwall, but he was too realistic, too realistic On the contrary, people wouldn''t use their horns to get angry.


    Early morning on May 31.


    When dawn dawned into the room, the clear weather indicated that today should be a sunny day.


    Yi Wen lay on the bed in pajamas, smiling at Aldridge looking in the mirror with her cheeks smiling.


    Bonnie, the little princess in the same pose as her mother, shook her head, and her little feet kept swaying behind her. Her crescent-like eyes narrowed her eyes and stared at Aldridge¡¯s back.


    Aldridge nodded with satisfaction in front of the floor-standing mirror, turned to open his hands and smiled, "How is it?"


    Now he does not have a suit and leather dress, but wears a Millwall jersey, the jersey number is 0...


    Jerseys, shoes, socks, no leg guards.


    This is a brand new jersey. The club sent it to him yesterday.


    Aldrich, who has maintained a healthy and reasonable lifestyle for many years, has maintained a good figure, especially insisting on exercise, so that he will still have bodybuilding muscles when he is only 30 years old.


    After wearing the jersey, it does have the traditional image of the player, and it is a chic type.


    Yiwen laughed without saying a word, and Bonnie praised, "Daddy is so beautiful!"


    Aldridge walked to the bed and squatted down, nodded at the tip of her nose, and asked, "How about cheering for Dad today?"


    "Okay, Dad is the best in the world!"


    While Aldridge was immersed in unrealistic fantasies, a voice that made him uncomfortable came by the door.


    "Dad, are you sure you are going to play today?"


    Aldrich turned his head and saw Earl leaning his arms around the door, a tangled expression, as if Aldridge would be very shameful to play on the court!


    Although Burt didn''t speak, he frowned slightly, probably agreeing with Earl.


    They seem to have faded the "naive" color very early, at least they will not worship their father for no reason like Bonnie, they get rid of unrealistic fantasies.


    That''s right, Aldridge is the best coach in the world. At this point, neither brother will question it, and will firmly maintain this conclusion.


    If friends of the same age defamed Aldridge¡¯s coaching achievements, for example, if Earl¡¯s classmates are Chelsea fans, to degrade Aldridge to achieve the purpose of children¡¯s mutual attacks, Earl does not mind playing a game with this classmate, even calling Come to elder brother to educate this classmate with fist education, let the classmates understand in the cry: Aldridge is the best coach in the world, under me, or our fists, this is the truth that you must unconditionally agree with.


    However, Aldridge went to play football, which has nothing to do with his coaching ability. Aldridge''s coaching achievements will not add to his ability to play even one point.


    At least they think so.


    Aldridge sniffed at it.


    They are often told that football is a team sport. As a person who spends more time reading and thinking about the game, even if his skills are average, er, amateur, he can play better than the average person!


    "Go, don''t mess up with me, pleased today, isn''t it? You just cheer me on the sidelines and see how your dad shines on the court!"


    Burt and Earl whispered at the same time, no more meaningless refutation, they did not intend to escape, today, of course, to go to Lion King Stadium to witness the retirement of Southgate, which is very special for Millwall Meaning.


    Aldridge didn''t take off his jersey, just took off his shoes, put on his suit and leather shoes, put on a tie, and then had breakfast at home and drove the whole family to the Lion King Stadium.


    Southgate''s retirement ceremony will take place after noon, and in the morning, there will be a party inside the club.


    Those players or celebrities who came from all over Europe gathered together to recount the old times, talk about the past, and lament the status quo, especially seeing Southgate''s retirement, it is sensational and inevitable.

 Chapter 1105： The footsteps of a metabolic curtain

    At 2pm on May 31st, the Lion King Stadium was full and more than 60,000 spectators were standing in the stands under the scorching sun. These crazy lion fans come from all over the world. Their postures today are obviously different from usual. The attitude of the wild is extremely relaxed, with laughter and laughter everywhere. Three or five friends twisted their bodies on the stands as if dancing. Of course, before the stadium was playing dynamic pop music, but after the end, many people have not left that Such a comfortable state.


    A huge portrait fluttered in the stands, which was Southgate¡¯s head. Many fans held a jersey with the number 6 printed on it. Different versions, you can find Millwall¡¯s 11 years of different styles of jerseys, home and away, even when There are jerseys for the third edition of the season.


    In this retired game, Millwall made a capital contribution, and also invited Martin Taylor and Andy Gray, the pair of gold commentary partners from Sky Sports, to serve as the retired narrator. This is completely unnecessary, but Millwall is So capricious.


    Even the referee of the retired game, they invited Corina to take charge, so that the specifications of the game seem to have risen to a very high grade.


    Is Corina willing to come?


    Why should I refuse?


    You should know that in this game today, the stars are shining and the stars are shining. Most of the modern stars in UEFA are gathered here.


    Before the start of the retirement game, the scene started to coax, and even came the excitement of screams of women with no small decibels!


    Prior to this, Aldridge, who had been in a suit and leather suit, originally planned to return to the locker room to change the jersey. However, under the "leading rebellion" of Southgate, the two players who are preparing to make their debuts have blocked Aldridge. .


    Southgate, Elgra, Trezeguet and others stared at Audridge like a play, and Southgate said, "Head, take it off!"


    Aldridge came into the tiger''s mouth and asked blankly, "What?"


    But his eyes turned around and wanted to find a breakthrough to rush out, Ronaldinho immediately reminded: "Don''t let him run away! He is distracting our attention!"


    The crowd surrounding him was more compact, and Southgate smiled and said: "Boss, I have been listening to your command every day for the past 11 years. Now, I am going to retire, I am free! Today, it is time You have listened to me once, just change your jersey here. If you use your underwear as an excuse, then let us check to make sure you are not lying."


    "Take off! Take off!"


    The crowds around were all coaxing, even Solskjaer and Vieira, who stood in front of the bench, yelled.


    Gattuso saw that Aldridge didn''t move, so he said, "Simply let us help him!"


    If he had said anything, he would start and startled Aldridge. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Good, I''ll take it off, I''ll take it off!"


    If this continues, Aldridge is really afraid of the psychological shadow.


    So this scene made the audience excited and funny.


    It is not new for players to be stripped or keep a pair of underwear. I believe that many audiences, especially female audiences, are interested in witnessing the change of Audridge.


    However, to everyone''s disappointment, Aldridge had already worn the jersey in advance after taking off his suit.


    Ronaldinho covered his head and sighed, "Don''t, he cheated!"


    The players made a coquettish voice in an instant, and Aldridge said in a "grievance": "You didn''t tell me that I would come here, otherwise, I will really cooperate with you."


    Gattuso suddenly shouted: "Now let''s help you wear the jersey again!"


    Aldridge immediately ran away, pointing at Corina and yelling: "Referee, give him a red card!"


    Corina shrugged her shoulders and smiled: "Gentlemen, let''s start the game."


    The episode before the opening of Southgate''s retirement is over.


    However, when the game is about to start, when the two teams of 22 people enter the field, it makes the audience on the scene no matter how serious, there are always many people holding back, or simply laughing on the stands!


    Because Aldridge came into the field as a player wearing a jersey, this picture, how to look, is a bit unbearable.


    "Cough, today is the day when the England national team and legendary Millwall player Southgate retired. At the Lion King Stadium, a retired game was held here. Many active players were invited to participate. Millwall''s former teammates fighting side by side with Southgate, as well as the top stars of the England national team, according to the information we got, the game is divided into two parts of the first half, the first half is the Millwall veteran team against Millwall First team, Southgate friends against England star in the second half, there is no doubt that Southgate will play the whole game, and in the first half, Millwall first team, we saw a familiar The strange figure, that is Sir Millwall coach Sir Audridge Hall, he did not stand on the sidelines, he played, hehehe, this is really an incredible scene."


    "I heard that he did this completely because of Southgate''s request. When asked about any regrets in his career in an interview, Southgate said seriously that he had no regrets but added jokingly. : That is not to play a game with Sir Hall, but also specifically said that Sir Hall should be his opponent. Sir Earl took off his suit and put it on the battlefield! Judging from the position on the court, er, Sir Hall was a winger, maybe he will face head-to-head with Southgate!"


    In the first half, Millwall first team vs Millwall veterans!


    Millwall first team starter 433.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Nesta, Silva, Ram.


    Midfielders: De Rossi, Alonso, Kaka.


    Forwards: Aldridge, Henry, Ronaldinho.


    Millwall veterans start 433.


    Goalkeeper: Palyuka.


    Guards: Thuram, Southgate, Elgra, Capdevila.


    Midfielders: Gattuso, Pirlo, Nedved.


    Forwards: Larson, Trezeguet, Shevchenko.


    Er, the "head coach" of Millwall''s first team is Ferguson.


    The "head coach" of the Millwall veteran team is Wenger.


    The two coaches were invited by Aldrich to help out, which is considered as a support to add brilliance to this retired game.


    On the guest table, there were also friends like Tigana, Fernandez, Heincks, who did not know each other in the past, and then kept a good relationship in private.


    Retired matches are actually amateur friendly matches.


    There won''t be so many restrictions, and it''s hard to say how exciting and intense, it''s like playing football with friends and relaxing.


    However, the invited guests were too deep into the play.


    Ferguson probably had a chance to retaliate with a grudge against Aldridge.


    From the beginning of the game, he kept pointing at Aldridge on the sidelines to "blame"!


    The strange thing is that the more Audric performs poorly, the more excited he sprays, but after spraying, he always laughs happier!


    Wenger is maintaining a polite state, it is estimated that he has been grudged with Ferguson for a long time, whispering and cursing that Ferguson came to grab the mirror today, it is too innocent!


    Respect for the old!


    At the beginning, Aldridge was still warming up. To be honest, he usually played football, but it was just amateur entertainment.


    Although he has commanded many games with the attention of tens of thousands of people, and even more than 100,000 people on the spot, his mentality has long been unsettled, but he has never played football with so many people watching!


    Originally, the game skills are very general, er, very amateur, and watched by so many people, the more I want to be good, the more nervous, especially the other 21 players are all professional players, in contrast, he may Don''t panic?


    After the opening, he looked awkward!


    Passing the ball and being intercepted by Capdevila, the team lost the ball!


    And two!


    In the stands, Ewen covered her mouth and was about to laugh crazy, while Bonnie flattened her mouth a little unhappy, and Earl and Burt just wanted to find a gap to get in.


    really!


    really!


    He put on the jersey to go to the game, it was disgraceful!


    Aldridge was depressed and depressed, especially Ferguson was still falling close to him, spraying him!


    Aldridge reluctantly sprayed him back: "Alex, you can do it!"


    Ferguson "glared" he shouted: "You are the player, I am the coach, you listen to me!"


    Aldridge stopped talking and waved his hand before the kick-off to pause the game!


    Uh, Corina really allowed him to suspend the game!


    The audience in the stands laughed and booed.


    Aldrich, Aldrich, are you like this?


    Isn''t it behind at 0:2?


    What''s wrong with letting Southgate win today?


    Okay, okay, you have to communicate with your teammates, but it''s okay, but you **** called "Pause"!


    This is not playing basketball!


    The most amazing thing is that the game time on the stadium''s electronic screen actually stopped!


    This is beyond the scope of "amateur", it is a ridiculous game!


    Martin Taylor and Andy Gray already had the urge to drop the headset and give up the live commentary.


    What the **** is this?


    Tell all spectators or listeners: In the 18th minute of the game, at the request of Millwall first team starter Audridge Hall, the game temporarily entered a standstill. We can rest assured that this will not waste regular game time because of the big The static time on the screen tells us that the game is suspended. Only when the game resumes will the regular game time be restarted and we will return to the game after a while!


    But the audience in the stands was very happy.


    This was a sad day.


    Southgate is leaving.


    It is a prelude to an era of Millwall farewell.


    It was also the beginning of a landmark era after Aldridge coached Millwall.


    Southgate is about to leave. Next, Nedved, Larson, Schneider, their departure is not far away, and such a departure, without betrayal, may not be a brilliant scene, It will only let you love the crazy lion, accompany this club reborn under Audridge, go through that period of "green years", that period of "pioneering and enterprising", that period of "subversion of the old pattern", that period of "reshape the crazy lion" "History fans are filled with infinite sadness.


    Southgate¡¯s departure is not a glorious end, but to bid farewell in joy, there is nothing better than this, like everyone¡¯s blessing to him, so that his departure becomes unnecessary to explore too many profound meanings, Only leave in everyone''s laughter and be remembered by everyone.

 Chapter 1106： Im a ball tyrant and team cancer!

    Aldridge, who called "Pause" during the game, looked sullen.


    He began to play the role of a "team cancer".


    At this moment, he is not the coach.


    He is a player, so when he started to blame his teammates, he was easily reminiscent of a team cancer.


    To be a cancerous tumor, you must naturally have a position in the team. If you are a marginalized person and a person without a voice, as long as you are isolated by everyone, no matter how troublesome you are, you will not become a tumor.


    As it happens, Aldridge is very important in the current lineup!


    It can be seen from the teammates standing in front of him that everyone is waiting to hear his speech.


    Everyone''s looks are different, and some people even frown, and it is estimated that they want to remind Aldridge: You are now a player, not a coach, but don''t call a timeout to arrange tactics with us.


    Of course, no tactics will be arranged, and they have not been arranged before the game.


    Aldrich began to blame his teammates!


    Henry bears the brunt of it!


    "Tieri, when I get the ball in front of the right side, you have to come over. Even if I don''t get the ball, you have to come over to support, harass and confuse the opponent!"


    Henry said helplessly on his hips: "I ran towards you, but you stopped the ball until it was intercepted, and it didn''t take 2 seconds. It''s because you have too little time to control the ball and can''t protect the ball."


    Aldridge said with a stretched face: "You didn''t run over in time!"


    "You can''t protect the ball!"


    "Yes, you didn''t run in time!"


    "It''s you...I didn''t run over in time!"


    Henry bowed his head stiffly.


    Aldridge reached for Kaka again and said, "Kaka, you should be active in the area on my left, so that I can kick the ball..."


    puff!


    De Rossi couldn''t help making a chuckle.


    A kick out?


    This sounds very simple, very simple.


    However, just look at Aldridge''s previous performance, don''t say the ball, it is good to keep the ball steady at the foot after touching the ball!


    Still kick the ball?


    Boss, you think too much!


    Aldridge glared at De Rossi. De Rossi narrowed his neck and looked away, holding back the smile.


    Aldridge continued: "This way I can get the ball out and let the offense run smoothly. Then, I can run into the penalty area before running, or Kaka can push the ball yourself."


    Kaka scratched his head and said frankly: "I ran, I''m right in front of your left. If you can hit the ball with one foot, I will succeed in offside and go straight into the penalty area, but you didn''t pass The ball is successful."


    Aldridge took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "You run too fast, you have to cooperate with the team rhythm!"


    "You didn''t pass the ball!"


    "You run too fast!"


    "Yes... I ran too fast, sorry, I will pay attention."


    Aldridge then turned his gaze to Ronaldinho, his tone was obviously bad, and he said sullenly: "Are you trying to kill me right? Look at the **** you pass me! It''s all about getting me up and down! Take another look at Pirlo, the ball passed to his teammates is very comfortable! The second goal is lost, the opponent is a defender, yes, Gareth Southgate and Pirlo have completed 2 interactions along the way The pass moved forward and finally scored with an assist from Nedved. What about you? The pass you gave me was to kill me!"


    Ronaldinho said: "It was you who were snatched and we were hit back and lost the ball."


    "It was caused by the stinky ball passed by your stink foot!"


    "It''s clearly you...well, it''s my stinky ball!"


    Aldridge exhaled fiercely and said to everyone: "Okay, you just performed worse, but it doesn''t matter, we still have time to get up, believe in yourself, believe in me, and I will lead you to the score Chased it back! Guys, get me serious!"


    After being taught by the "team cancer", the other players of the Millwall first team turned their heads and walked towards their positions. Invariably, everyone whispered.


    Probably means to indignantly accuse Aldridge of: Ballmaster!


    It''s a pity to dare to be angry, to succumb to Aldridge''s obscenity!


    Aldridge is the best coach in the world, and they all recognize it.


    However, at this moment, if there is anyone in the world who does not want to be a teammate, then the first one is Audridge.


    Would rather not play football, and do not want to be his teammate again!


    It''s a nightmare, tortured, and this painful torment has not passed!


    "Oh, the first stop of the Millwall first team ended in the first half, cough, sorry, please ignore the "first time" I just said, anyway, the game restarted, let us look at the internal communication What will happen to the Millwall first team after communication?"


    Not to mention, the audience is looking forward to it. Just watching Aldridge talking to his teammates on the court, it is really a new look. Looking away from a distance, it is quite a style of a team boss!


    In this game, the rhythm is not fast. It really pulls the rhythm. The players can''t stand it, and Audridge can''t stand it anymore.


    After all, the players have just experienced a long season, coupled with a fast pace, the confrontation will inevitably develop towards a more intense trend, which is not in line with the spirit of the entertainment game.


    Aldridge is really serious.


    To be honest, it felt wonderful to him.


    At this moment, he is a player. On the court, 21 other people, or teammates, or opponents are all famous players in contemporary football. This is a brand new excitement that makes him irresistibly want to show one. Fan, unable to do anything perfunctory, as if he missed a good opportunity.


    Capdevila, who steals him twice in a row, is Aldridge''s main opponent.


    After about 5 minutes of continuous passing, Aldridge thinks he has paralyzed his opponent.


    In the 25th minute of the game, he received a pass from Schneider in the backcourt on the right. This time he didn''t pass. Kaka ran out of the air on the same side of his side. Aldridge did not intend to pass.


    Although passing is the best option, Aldridge doesn¡¯t want those, just ignore him!


    Capdevila also believes that the former "head" has been suppressed by him, and he can''t be counseled anymore. It seems that the ball at the foot is a bomb. Every time the ball is touched, the ball is passed out as soon as possible. !


    So this time when Aldridge used the outside in the direction of the ball to roll the ball towards Capdevila and then rushed forward, Capdevila was really shocked!


    shocked!


    The audience was also shocked!


    Aldridge, amazing, broke through, he started to look like a winger!


    However, Aldridge''s movements were really frightening. He almost fell himself during the sprint, staggering two steps to stabilize his body balance, and firmly controlled the ball on the right edge of the penalty area!


    At this time, Aldridge did not have a head-on conflict with Southgate, he immediately passed the ball, Kaka in the middle of the road leaked the ball, Ronaldinho stopped the ball in the middle and looked up.


    Ronaldinho almost slipped and fell to the ground.


    Why?


    After Aldridge passed the ball, he ran to the door, beckoning while running, and shouted with excitement.


    "Give me, give me, pass me! Hurry! Hurry to pass me! No one guards me! No one!"


    Originally, there was no one to guard him, but when he shouted so much, Southgate was not happy, and he just stared at Aldridge.


    Ronaldinho rolled his eyes and dispelled the idea of ??passing the ball to Aldridge.


    It''s not how Aldridge is conspicuous, but: Aldrich may not realize that before Ronaldinho stopped the ball, he was offside, and the more he ran, the more obvious the offside!


    Southgate was obviously putting water on his opponent, and he did not intend to let Aldridge touch the ball anyway.


    A big air appeared in the penalty area, Ronaldinho passed Henry, and Elgra ran to the symbolic defense. Henry tipped the ball gently and the ball rolled into the dead end of the goal.


    "The Millwall first team pulled one back! It was Henry who scored, oh, Sir Hall ran excitedly to celebrate with his teammates, as if the scorer was him."


    In the entertainment game, if you score a goal and sprint to the roar with excitement, that''s too much.


    Aldridge was excited, but not to celebrate the goal.


    As Ronaldinho and Henry celebrated with high-five, Aldridge ran angrily and asked Ronaldinho, "Why don''t you pass me? Why don''t you pass me when it''s time to pass? If you want to pass me, I will do whatever You can score a goal! Why, huh?"


    Ronaldinho and Henry were stunned.


    They both turned their heads and looked at the goal guarded by Palyuka.


    That''s right, Palyuka picked up the ball from the goal and threw it into the midfield.


    Look at Corina again.


    That''s right, the referee signaled a kick-off in the middle circle, the score was rewritten and the goal was valid.


    An effective offensive goal, Aldridge came running excitedly and asked his teammates not to pass the ball to him. If it was placed in the professional league, it would be sprayed, mocked, and beaten by teammates, right?


    At this moment, Henry and Ronaldinho, two football superstars, were speechless!


    This teammate is too pitted!


    I have to say that Aldridge doesn''t usually think of it, but when it comes to playing on the court, he has a "persecuted delusion".


    Because Ronaldinho will always play a harmless joke with him, trying to tease him during the break, usually, it does not matter, in the game, Ronaldinho played seriously, Aldridge directed on the sidelines, there is no job conflict.


    But when playing football together, Aldridge can''t help but think: Will this product be blocking me again?


    Obviously it was a good opportunity, but Ronaldinho turned a blind eye, unwilling to pass the ball to him, so that he could score a goal and enjoy.


    Ronaldinho and Henry are not in the limelight.


    People are on the top professional stage. What is the point of having an entertainment game and striving for the limelight?


    So Aldridge is definitely blaming his teammates, but who makes him a ball tyrant and a team cancer?


    Kaka whispered next to him: "Boss, you just offside."


    Aldridge kept shaking his head as he walked towards the halftime: "No, no, certainly not. If he passes the ball to me in time, I will give you a perfect anti-offside run, alas, it is a pity..."


    Kaka walked away silently.

 Chapter 1107： The most "pit" teammate in history

    As a conscious ball player, and in a short period of time to create this image of the character, Aldridge, another thing is the ball player must have the necessary quality: ignore the head coach.


    Ferguson sprayed Aldridge on the sidelines for 20 minutes, and then sat down on the coach''s bench with a smile. It seems that it may be tired, or Aldridge has not completely dumped him.


    I''m a ball tyrant, is the coach a ball?


    If you obey the coach, how can you deserve to be a good ball tyrant?


    In the subsequent game time, Aldridge put the characteristics of "ball tyrant" into full play.


    The starter was Aldridge, a right-winger. He simply stood at the forefront of the offensive midfield, obviously standing at the center, squeezing Henry to the side!


    Henry was a little puzzled.


    I thought it was a temporary transposition with Aldridge.


    As Aldridge said: confused, disturbing opponents.


    But Aldridge no longer returned to the winger position, so Henry had to stay in the right-wing position.


    Otherwise, there are few people here, and there are fewer contact points for the offense, wasting a large area of ??attack to use.


    On weekdays, Riodrich instilled in the players the defensive philosophy, but he did not abide by it at all, and of course raised his hands to his teammates to indicate where to defend. He ordered his teammates to defensively on the walk!


    Then again, teammates, they do not want to be in the limelight, Aldridge wants to be in the limelight, okay, accomplish him!


    So Millwall''s first team offensive, to the final blow, players also actively created opportunities for Audridge.


    In the 31st minute of the game, Aldridge took Henry behind and hit the ball into the penalty area before rushing. After just running two steps, Southgate was squeezed in front of him, and he fell to the ground in an embarrassing way.


    Southgate controlled the ball. Looking back, Aldridge actually made a move towards Corina, indicating that Southgate was defending him with an elbow attack!


    Look, how serious Aldridge''s expression is!


    It really seems to be the same thing!


    Southgate couldn''t help crying, and the audience in the stands also laughed.


    Collina ignored Aldridge''s complaint, which made Aldridge very unhappy, and then continued to command the teammates behind to defend! He himself did not fight back.


    Of course, don''t fight back!


    Don''t waste energy!


    He wants to maintain the energy that can rush to the front line at all times!


    Since it is an entertainment game, the two sides will not try their best to defend the game. Like the defender line, they are basically outside the penalty area.


    Aldridge was walking around Elgra and Southgate, and he could chat with them from time to time.


    In the 35th minute, the golden opportunity came!


    Schneider dribbling the ball forward on the right, Aldridge was keenly aware: Lao Tzu''s chance, here!


    The scene was more open and the opponent''s defense was looser. Aldridge immediately leaped forward and ran straight, aiming directly at the penalty area.


    But he didn''t notice that Elgra and Southgate stepped forward two steps at the same time.


    And Schneider''s half-height shot from the back of the line was very accurate and the oblique long pass from behind the line. Aldridge caught up with this near the penalty spot. Then, he didn''t stop the ball and dashed with a kick. The ball kicked into the goal guarded by Palyuka.


    Although he felt strange, Palyuka did not make a save.


    But my heart is still quite satisfied: Well, this shot is very good. I don¡¯t know if there is a photographer on the side of the court to capture it. In the future, I will hang it at home to show my chic and graceful appearance on the court. It is best to have a picture of the whole world. The group of stars are all background, so domineering!


    After scoring, Aldridge waved his right fist directly near the bottom line, showing a handsome smile. It seemed to be an old river and lake on the football field, just like the prince of this stadium.


    What makes him even more strange is that all the fans in the stands are happy to move forward and backward.


    Actually, no one celebrated and cheered for him!


    This, this, this!


    Aldridge turned his head around in consternation, and saw Palyuka kicked the ball to Southgate, and Southgate pressed the ball to the edge of the penalty area. It seemed to be driving a set ball.


    Aldridge was confused.


    Shouldn''t the midline kick off?


    He looked at the sideline again. The **** lineman held the flag flat. Corina, with a whistle in his mouth, reached out to signal the Milwall veteran to kick a free kick.


    Aldridge held his head in disbelief.


    Oh shit!


    How could it be offside?


    I''m perfect against offside!


    Misjudgment!


    It must be a black whistle!


    He shook his hand in the direction of the lineman and protested, and he talked to Corina two times when he trot back, and he gestured to show how perfect he was against offside.


    Such a goal was blown away, to be honest, it hit Aldridge very much.


    Suddenly he seemed to have lost vitality.


    It took a lot of hard work to catch a goal.


    Borderline, can you really misjudge once?


    Just when I didn¡¯t offside, wouldn¡¯t it?


    Playing football is too difficult.


    The veteran team''s offensive recovered on this side. Soon, near 40 minutes, Thuram assisted on the wing. After the cooperation of Larsen and Trezeguet, Shevchenko rubbed a small angle in the penalty area. Shot through.


    The team led by Ball Fighter is two goals behind.


    Aldridge didn''t blame his teammates this time, but groaned inexplicably when he restarted the kick.


    He glanced at his teammates in a complicated manner.


    This makes Ronaldinho very unbearable.


    It seems that Aldridge is showing a kind of mental exhaustion: you are all pits, and I am a god, and I can''t move you!


    This really makes Ronaldinho angry!


    So after the kick-off, they simply ignored Aldridge and it was 11 for 10!


    No more opportunities will be created for Aldridge.


    Seeing the end of the first half, Aldridge was ready to leave in disappointment.


    In this game, he only played half, and the second half will be Southgate Friends vs. England Stars.


    Just when Aldridge had given up, the opportunity came again!


    Thuram assisted again, but the offense failed.


    Ronaldinho took the opportunity to drive the ball into the penalty area on the left and was tripped by Elgra to the ground when passing Elgra. The movement was not big, but it was a foul.


    Collina is aware of the penalties and awarded a penalty!


    When Henry, Kaka, Alonso and other teammates all went to see if Ronaldinho fell down on the ground, a sneaky figure approached the ball, then bent the ball in his arms, and was still Quietly toward the penalty spot...


    When Ronaldinho got up and hugged Elgra in a friendly hug, everyone in the audience was shocked to find: Aldridge was already standing in front of the penalty spot and posed his POSE on his hips. He took a decent look and prepared to take the penalty!


    "Excessive?"


    "unacceptable!"


    "How can he do this?"


    "Yeah, this is simply unreasonable!"


    Outside of the penalty area, behind Aldridge, his teammates had a lot of discussions. De Rossi wanted to step forward to discuss with Aldrich. After Aldridge turned back and gave him a sharp look, De Rossi obediently Retreated back.


    The Lion King Stadium, the audience boos!


    The audience laughed and booed.


    Aldridge almost burst into tears!


    Damn, at this moment, no one in the world wants me to kick the penalty kick.


    Everyone wants to watch me kick a penalty?


    I don¡¯t want you to be happy!


    Uh, how do you kick a penalty?


    Aldridge thought for a long time, so Corina had to remind him to take a penalty kick!


    With an idea in his mind, Aldridge approached the run, and he imagined it wonderfully.


    Paljuka must think he is a rookie!


    Will definitely volley!


    Ha ha ha, I want to surprise you.


    Send the ball to the goal in the most elegant way!


    Come on, spoon kick!


    Let Lao Tzu''s elegant style freeze in this moment!


    Actually, it¡¯s not far from what I just imagined, as long as he penalizes a penalty kick, then at this moment, behind him, there will also be a group of stars as the background to set off, and it is close, which is wonderful, it¡¯s **** Awesome!


    The more he thought about it, the more nervous Aldridge was. His muscles were too tight when he supported the ground with his left foot, and he became awkward. The whole person slipped directly!


    When he slipped, Aldridge felt the world turning, lamenting in his heart: Open, what a joke!


    However, when he slipped, he tried to finish the shot with his right foot!


    The spoon penalty did not appear, but it turned into a vigorous shot.


    However, it was a blessing due to misfortune. This penalty kick was tricky. When Palyuka predicted the correct movement and did not touch the ball in advance, the ball almost rubbed the inside of the goal and flew into the goal!


    The audience laughed!


    Aldridge stood up with an embarrassed expression, subconsciously reached out and rubbed his buttocks, but immediately withdrew his hand, pain, endure!


    His teammates saw his fall as if they were very relieved, and did not care about his previous bully.


    Corina did not let the game continue, and directly blew the whistle at the end of the first half.


    At this moment, the Lion King Stadium broke out completely, and the cheers and applause from the audience came from the heartfelt support of the audience!


    Bonnie in the stands was very excited and kept yelling "Dad scored!", Yi Wen wiped his sweat, and was really worried that Aldridge would be injured if he fell.


    Burt and Earl looked at each other and exhaled.


    The nightmare is finally over!


    Dad will not continue to be ashamed!


    At the end of the game, Aldridge and Southgate chatted with each other on the shoulders.


    "Garez, you are going to retire, that is, amateur football player. Like me, in the future we can find more opportunities to play together, it is just a fitness exercise."


    "Of course no problem, boss, you said that: like me. Is it commendatory or derogatory?"


    "Hahaha, you just scored a goal, I also scored a goal, we are the same, haha."


    On the sidelines, Aldridge took off his jersey and gave it to Southgate as a small souvenir.


    On the sidelines, Ronaldinho waved to Aldridge excitedly: "Boss, come and take a group photo, come here soon!"


    "I''m coming."


    Aldrich regained his glamour at this time.


    I think this group of teammates must be very proud.


    Millwall''s special "first team" eleven people stood together. Villa borrowed a professional camera from the photographer and took pictures of them personally.


    Aldridge stood in the middle, surrounded by ten other players.


    When Villa shouted: 3, 2, 1.


    Aldridge was smiling, but the ten teammates around him suddenly made a thumbs-down gesture around Aldridge and laughed!


    Aldridge was about to cry without tears.


    Sure enough, Ronaldinho was tricked.


    This is to take a group photo, the most "strong" ball tyrant in history.


    Or, the most "pit" teammate in history?

 Chapter 1108： Lucky for the Golden Decade

    Millwall''s retirement ceremony for Southgate is a feast. In addition to the gathering of stars, there are stars to help out.


    During the intermission, the British Music Awards Ceremony, known as "British Grammy" in 2004, won the best British rock group, the best British band, and the British heavy album three heavyweight awards "TheDarkness" Appearing in the center of the green stadium of the Lion King Stadium, performing on stage on the built stage, setting off the passion of the fans, making this feast more colorful.


    After the halftime break passed, the second half of the game was about to start, but there was a sound.


    "Aldrich!"


    "Aldrich!"


    "Aldrich!"


    The audience was calling on Aldridge to continue the game, which made Aldridge a little embarrassed and felt like stealing Southgate''s limelight.


    Southgate invited Aldridge to continue the game, which is not in Aldridge''s plan. However, seeing the audience so enthusiastic and hoping to continue to appreciate his skills, then respect is not as good.


    In the first half, he was an opponent with Southgate. In the second half, Aldridge planned to be a teammate with Southgate.


    So he began to show his dominance again and said to Villa who was about to debut: "David, let me play for 20 minutes, you come off the bench."


    With a smile, Villa stepped out of the field. At this moment, Ronaldinho and De Rossi jumped out, blocking Adrich, who was about to walk into the field, from the left and the right. Shouted: "Don''t listen to him! He''s a pit! You can''t let him play the striker! Absolutely not!"


    Aldridge turned his head and shouted, "I scored! I scored as a striker!"


    "That''s a penalty, anyone can score a penalty!"


    "Then I play midfield?"


    "No!"


    "Defender, partner with Gareth, okay?"


    "Do you want to kill him?"


    "that¡­¡­"


    "Go as a goalkeeper!"


    Aldridge''s eyes widened, and there was no refusal for a while.


    Goalkeeper?


    That''s where friends are not willing to play when playing games as an amateur activity!


    De Rossi''s proposal received a broad response, Aldridge was forced to debut again, but stood in front of the goal line and acted as a goalkeeper!


    In the second half, the Southgate friend team has a luxurious lineup. The defenders include Southgate, Ramos, Materazzi, Zambrotta, Vieira, Pedretti, Piret, G Lenchar, forwards Villa and Fanny, Solskjaer, Tony and others on the bench.


    The opponent England star team is mostly a former national teammate or a member of the active national team.


    Aldridge felt a little guilty.


    Opposite there is Owen, and long-range heavy gunners Gerard and Lampard outside the penalty area, Scholes''s feet are not soft!


    The goalkeeper, really standing in this position, what a sad feeling like a living target?


    To be honest, in the goalkeeper position, it is difficult for Audridge to be a ball dominator on the court, because he cannot leave this small area in front of the goal line.


    So he began to play another role: the defense leader!


    Every time the opponent attacked after halftime, Aldridge immediately shouted loudly in a certain direction to command his teammates.


    It''s just that the words he shouted were a little horrified.


    "Marco, stop him! He can''t come over, otherwise he will shoot! I may not be able to hold it!"


    Materazzi was so angry that he heard such a voice behind him!


    Is there a goalkeeper like you?


    May not hold it?


    Can''t be so counseling!


    The English star team that was originally opposite, just walked across the field to play a light and pleasant game, but when they debuted, they found that the opposite side was Aldridge in the goalkeeper, and there was a sudden interest.


    Scholes first tested Aldridge with a hanging door, and Aldridge almost surrendered by raising his hand.


    The hanging door was misaligned, but Aldridge almost hit the post on the move!


    Aldridge just wanted to cry without tears, if Scholes was a small test.


    Then Beckham''s **** is really seeing him!


    In the 54th minute, Beckham kicked a tricky arc ball hanger, Aldridge moved to his position and flew to save. The action was really perfect! very perfect!


    Unfortunately, the **** goal scored!


    Moreover, Aldridge went in the wrong direction!


    The improper goalkeeper doesn''t know, feeling that he will be deceived by his own eyes.


    In fact, Beckham¡¯s arc ball is not fast, but the arc is too big, and it is an external rotation, non-internal rotation, which is contrary to the flight path of the ordinary Bayesian arc. , Saved in a panic, halfway through and found the ball flying towards the other side of his body.


    Lost the ball, Aldridge is in a bad mood!


    So he even more "angry" command teammates to strengthen defense!


    Materazzy''s grumpy, if the goalkeeper is Aldridge, he can''t stand it anymore.


    His eyes rolled, and he told Southgate two sentences, so the back line changed.


    Aldridge was stunned to find that he seemed to be abandoned!


    The guards rushed all the way to attack!


    See, Materazzi hit the forward line and Southgate is at the back of the center line, at least 40 yards away from the goal.


    Aldridge burst into tears and wanted to yell at them: the score is a draw, 3:3, we don¡¯t have to press the whole army to attack! No need!


    This is too dangerous!


    We will be hit back!


    Can''t underestimate the other''s Owen!


    That''s a wind chasing boy, you old guys can''t catch up with him!


    However, such a rush is really amazing.


    Materazzi created chaos in the penalty area, Fanny seized the opportunity to break through the opponent''s city gate.


    4:3, leading the score again.


    Aldridge breathed a sigh of relief and thought he should take the lead. The defenders should withdraw. As a result, when the **** kick back, the defenders almost stood in the position of midfielders!


    Aldrich''s bare-bones commander is too sad in the eyes of the audience!


    In the first half, he pitted his teammates. In the second half, he became a teammate pitted him!


    Sure enough, in the 63rd minute of the game, Neville made a long pass in the backcourt, Irving succeeded in offside and went to the meeting alone!


    Southgate and Materazzi just chased two steps, but couldn''t catch up, so they gave up for granted, which is equivalent to completely abandoning Audridge.


    When Owen single-handedly came, Aldridge made the audience laugh.


    "Wow oh, Owen! The goalkeeper of the Southgate friends team, Audrey Hall, swinging his arms around the door and swinging up and down, like a weird dance! Oh, he must want to interfere Owen''s shot, but, at this time, he should be more calm and right, abandon the goal when appropriate, expand the defensive area, reduce Owen''s shot angle, but he danced a weird dance on the goal line! "


    Aldrich''s scalp is numb. He is very serious. He wants to "mislead" Irving by swinging left and right, definitely not deliberately "dancing."


    Not to mention, this "misleading" is quite effective. When Irving was habitually observing the goalkeeper position, he was startled by Aldridge''s move, or almost laughed, so he made a big trip!


    Aldrich rushed out at the right moment, Owen rushed in a hurry, the ball directly hit Aldrich''s arms!


    "Wow! Sir Hall succeeded in blocking Irving''s single-handed sword! It was incredible! His weird dance worked!"


    After the success of the rescue, Aldridge raised his eyebrows with exasperation, and a top goalkeeper swallowed the style of the mountains and rivers.


    Next, he ran to the edge of the penalty area to throw the ball in order for the team to launch a fast break!


    The thrown ball shocked the teammates!


    He wanted to throw the ball to the middle of the midfield, but he overestimated his arm strength, the ball fell in the area where the defender was, and it was in the middle of the two defenders. Gerrard ran forward and stopped directly in the chest Ball, another single pole!


    Materazzi touched his head without realizing the ball. Was the boss intentional?


    Did he deliberately give the opponent a single-handed shot?


    Southgate squatted directly down on the ground and smiled.


    Aldridge was so dumbfounded, lean, throw the ball directly to the opponent!


    As soon as his mind was hot, he rushed directly to Gerrard, and Gerrard dangled the ball laterally, and gently pushed the empty goal.


    Aldridge looked helpless while sitting on the ground, and also waved his hands to his teammates, presumably to express: You will not come back to answer, my mistakes, you are 99% responsible!


    After dropping the ball, Aldridge is going to end.


    He kept raising his hands to thank the audience fans when he left the court, and at the same time, he pointed his finger to Southgate when he walked to the sidelines.


    Today''s Southgate retired match, most of the spectators came to the stadium with regret, but they found that as time passed, it was not the same as what they thought. Here, they also harvested Unforgettable precious memory, at least they made one thing clear: Fortunately, Aldridge did not play in Millwall and played on his own.


    After leaving the field, he sat on the bench and took a break. Aldridge and Ferguson sat together. Ferguson laughed at him.


    "Your ball skills are really eye-opening, and your style on the court."


    "Alex, what do you know? As a person with no talent for playing football, it is a dream to be able to direct a group of stars on the court and let them serve themselves."


    Ferguson put his smile away and shook his head slightly, presumably lamenting that Aldridge was different from ordinary people.


    Turning his gaze into the stadium, Ferguson sighed: "You are so lucky."


    Aldridge knew what he was saying, nodding in a trance, "Yeah, I''m lucky."


    In the past eleven years, Millwall has a leader Nedvide on the field and Southgate maintained the locker room. Millwall''s top ten years in the field are not just based on athletic ability.


    Ferguson sighed, probably also related to his own situation. Manchester United¡¯s spiritual leader is Keane, but Keane is on the court, no one can question his spiritual role, but outside the field, in the locker room, into the late career. Keane, however, turned into a big mouth, accusing his teammates, from private, began to become public.


    This is not a good sign, and the coach has a headache.

 Chapter 1109： Heritage of history!

    We can invite Wenger and Ferguson to come here, not only to see the face of Audridge, but also naturally have the credit of the FA.


    Today is different. In 1966, England won the first World Cup championship in the country. This news could not make the headline of the cover of the mainstream newspaper. Today, the eye effect is very important, and the FA also needs more commercial selling points. In order to attract sponsors, it can be said that Aldridge has been coaching the national team for more than three years. It is a stage where the FA has made great strides in business development. In the "post-Aldrich" era, the FA can The report shows that their business growth is slowing and the growth rate is declining, so for more benefits, Southgate, a contemporary player who has won the Hercules Cup for England, is worthy of them on this day. , A grand ceremony for Southgate, of course, as a collaborator.


    In the VIP box of the Lion King Stadium, there was a heavyweight official from the FA. During the day, the ceremony was held at the Lion King Stadium. In the evening, there will be a reception specially organized by the FA for Southgate. At the same time, it will also be an honorary award such as a special contribution award for the Southgate method.


    "The retired game that belongs to Southgate is over. After 90 minutes of the first and second half, this game does not matter whether we win or lose. We should still talk about the score. 6:5. The team represented by Southgate is one. The ball narrowly defeated the opponent. At this moment, we saw that all the players on the sidelines stood up and applauded. Probably, this is a way to start saying goodbye to Southgate to leave the greenery."


    The players retired, only Southgate was still standing on the court, the laughter in the stands was over, and the audience uncontrollably sentimental emotions.


    Southgate himself was a little sad, and he smiled.


    At this time, Carter, who is the CEO of Millwall, appeared on the sidelines. He walked into the field with a wireless microphone. As he walked in, a red carpeted avenue was presented by the staff.


    He came to Southgate and picked up the microphone and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we all know that today is Gareth Southgate¡¯s retirement day, and on this day, he will bid farewell to the players. Career, but he will always be part of the family of Millwall. Before we witness him leave the arena, let¡¯s first review the contributions he made to the team during his years with Millwall. What honor does Millwall bring!"


    At this time, from the player channel, Bout walked out with a smile of an old Champions League trophy, stepped on the red carpet, walked all the way to Southgate, and placed this insignificant trophy On the lawn in front of Southgate.


    Why is it the old Champions League trophy?


    Because the current Premier League is already the third-level league in England, and the second-level league is replaced by the former Premier League and now the British League.


    In the process of Bout''s coming out, Carter is also telling the audience that the story that started from the summer of 11 years ago belongs to Southgate''s journey and belongs to his footsteps in Millwall.


    Then, Nedved, Larson, took the English League Cup and the FA Cup championship trophy, which was the honor Millwall won in the 95-96 season.


    Millwall players continue to walk out of the player channel holding the trophy.


    Southgate continued to have trophies placed in front of him, and behind him, his teammates also appeared one after another, standing behind him, staring at him with blessing and pride.


    When the Champions League trophy was won by Schneider in the summer of 98, Carter focused on introducing: "In the 97-98 season, Millwall achieved a great feat, and he won the European Champions Cup for the first time. Winning the championship trophy, Southgate as the captain of the trophy picture is always included in the history of the club. In order to recognize the contributions of the players, the club deliberately made a major decision this season, that is, the Champions League trophy The back of the is engraved with the names of players who participated in the UEFA Champions League this season, so that they will always remain in our memory."


    When Carter''s voice fell, many players watching the courtside changed their look.


    For example, Pirlo''s eyes became confused.


    It seems that as Schneider held up the trophy and showed it around, he could see his name on the back of the trophy.


    The memory is back to the lush years that belonged to him, the years when he was in the mad lion, and he couldn''t help but apologize for the trophy and the old captain who will soon call the curtain!


    The ceremony is still in progress, and the audience in the stands witnessed the increasing number of trophies in front of Southgate, Premier League, Champions League, European Winners Cup, League Cup, FA Cup, Community Shield, Toyota Cup, European Super Cup The glory of the Europa League and the Millwall Club can be swept in front of everyone, and they are not only predatory, but also a crazy gesture.


    The audience also found that the people who won the trophy were all Millwall players, excluding those who had left. In the end, they had to let the youth team players hold the lighter trophy.


    However, people also found a problem.


    The Champions League trophy in the summer of 2002 seems to have been forgotten by the Millwall Club!


    Carter didn''t seem to find any problems, and skipped that glory directly during the introduction.


    In 2005, when two recent trophies were recently won, a new ceremony took place at the same time.


    Tiago Silva walked into the stadium solemnly with the Premier League trophy.


    He placed the trophies in front of many trophies, and the Premier League championship trophies were displayed side by side.


    Carter said at the moment: "In the past 11 years, Southgate has worn the Millwall jersey. This is a captain who has helped the team get countless honors. We have reason to express our right to seal the jersey number. His gratitude and respect, but Southgate himself rejected this proposal, his answer is: I am not special, the honor belongs to everyone, without the Millwall collective, he is nothing!"


    There was a warm applause at the scene, and many fans were already wet.


    Carter continued: "However, the jersey number that belonged to him in the past 11 years requires a new owner. Today, here, Southgate will pass on his jersey to the club''s junior, Thiago Sil watt!"


    Silva came to Southgate, and Southgate did not expect the club to make such a decision at all. He thought that changing the number was just a common thing, and he worried that it would make Silva feel uncomfortable. Comfortable, so he frowned slightly and asked in a low voice: "So, okay?"


    Silvaon raised his head and replied solemnly: "Gares, this is my glory, I will use my life to defend the No. 6 jersey!"


    Southgate shook his head and choked: "What you want to defend is not a number, but this jersey! The dark blue, belongs to the mad lion, jersey!"


    Before handing over the jersey to Silva, Southgate kissed the team logo on the jersey affectionately before handing over the jersey to Silva.


    Silva raised the jersey seriously and showed it to the world.


    The No. 6 jersey has a new owner.


    Tiago Silva.


    Silva put on the jersey directly and walked behind Southgate to stand with his teammates.


    Next, De Rossi played with the Champions League trophy won a week ago.


    He also looked solemn because there was another handover ceremony to be performed.


    Inheritance of the captain''s armband!


    Southgate was the captain of Millwall for 11 years. During this season, the captain on the field is generally temporary, and there is no fixed candidate. Sometimes Nedved starts, he is the captain, sometimes Schneider.


    Inevitably, the mad lion needs a stable captain and needs a backbone.


    Aldridge chose De Rossi as the captain''s successor.


    This Italian who he brought back from Rome personally, from the youth team to the reserve team, and then to the first team, he definitely has an ambition of loyalty and defense of all Millwall.


    When Southgate handed the captain''s armband to De Rossi, people could feel that the scene seemed to be filled with a thick breath of history, glory, responsibility, mission and so on.


    This is a moment of mad lion inheritance.


    It also represents the curtain call for the older generation of heroes.


    Reluctant to admit it, but Southgate''s boots are also Nedved''s countdown for their departure.


    Finally, Carter increased the volume of his voice and shouted passionately: "You must think I made a mistake. Millwall won the European Championship in 2002, three consecutive championships! But I did not introduce this honor, nor did the players hold it. The trophy came out, no, it¡¯s not that I forgot it, but this championship trophy has a very special meaning to Millwall. This is the authentic Champions League trophy that Millwall permanently preserves! In order to remember those who have dedicated their loyalty to the club, The players who have made invaluable contributions in the arena, we have carved their names on this authentic Champions League trophy!"


    The last one to come out of the player channel is, of course, Aldridge!


    At this time, Audridge in suit and leather suit walked into the field with both hands holding the authentic Champions League trophy.


    There are fewer than 10 names on this authentic Champions League trophy!


    There is no doubt that after they retire, they will be Millwall''s fame and legend!


    Aldridge came to Southgate holding the trophy, handed the trophy to Southgate, his eyes were sharp, and he said softly, "Garez, thank you."


    Southgate lowered his head and burst into tears!


    On the back of this authentic Champions League trophy, the first name engraved on it is really: Gareth Southgate!


    At this moment, around him, players from the Millwall first team, some reserve teams and youth teams were brought together.


    Southgate choked silently and was speechless.


    A thousand words could not express his pride and pride at the moment.


    His name is engraved on this great trophy.


    Not an ordinary replica Champions League trophy, but the real one!


    "Garez, how about coming again? Again, the familiar morale slogan!"


    Aldridge proposed with a smile.


    Tears in tears turned around and looked around, a smile of blessings in his eyes, and the encouragement of his old friends Nedved, Larson, Bout, Schneider and others.


    Southgate raised his hands to wipe the tears from his face, bowed his head slightly, and held his hands on both sides of the trophy. Then his expression suddenly became wild and excited, and he raised the trophy and shouted: "Milwall!"


    All Millwalls around him responded passionately: "Chong, rush, rush!"


    Southgate bent down again, raised the trophy again, and roared: "Milwall!"


    In the whole Lion King Stadium, tens of thousands of people shouted in unison and shook all directions!


    "Chong! Chong! Chong!"


    ...


    Volume twelve

 Chapter 1110： Overnight

    Southgate, who came to Millwall 11 years ago, was honored to "retire" at the Lion King Stadium. Millwall''s official retirement ceremony and follow-up activities for Southgate have become European football and even the recent world football. The focus of attention.


    It has to be said that the momentum created by Millwall''s blood capital has made the club very humane emotionally. Rather than the majority of fans always turning their backs on the giants, the veteran loyal clerk cannot start and finish in a club.


    On the square on the east side of Lion King Stadium on June 3, a bronze statue of Southgate was unveiled. His bronze statue will be permanently standing within the scope of Lion King Stadium for visitors to enjoy, for the younger generation and the next generation In the future, countless generations of new crazy lion members will learn to admire.


    Carter Ben, who runs these activities first-hand, is a behind-the-scenes man, but Millwall''s series of official activities ended with a wide range of positive influences, which made him successfully get rid of the shadow of Adam.


    In the past, people always said that Millwall¡¯s CEO was Aldridge¡¯s puppet, but now, people can feel Carter¡¯s presence in the club, his influence, and the contribution made by the club to move forward. , Carter is leading Millwall commercialization into a new era of magnificent determination.


    Fleet Street portrays Carter as an ambitious man with a desire to swallow the sky.


    The business plan launched by the new CEO is described as a "global supremacy in a green world" strategy.


    Millwall was no longer satisfied with the local market a long time ago. After all, the local market is largely close to saturation for a long time. The unsaturated part is emerging fans, which will slowly change as the population grows.


    After all, the rich fans like Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, have a very traditional belief in the homeland, and will not change because Millwall has been suppressing other giants.


    However, overseas markets are different. The development of television broadcasting, especially the development of countries and regions in the third world, and the improvement of life, have a huge market waiting for others to occupy.


    Millwall has established football schools or training camps in more than 30 countries and regions, and is still investing money to create new "bases", using these as bases to radiate the countries or regions where they are and train their fans. group.


    This is not just a high-profile declaration of being a pig and eating tiger land: we have 50 million fans in Asia!


    Such a declaration is very false. Most of them are meant to be heard by the sponsors, not to be fooled, but in the end it is to raise the bargaining chips. Now, Millwall is really going to try his best to train more and more real fans, and Once such work has reached a qualitative change, the rewards will be enormous.


    At the same time, Millwall also frequently shot in the transfer market to establish cooperative relations with other clubs. Some second-tier league clubs directly became Millwall¡¯s satellite club. In less than three weeks, Millwall It burned nearly 25 million pounds overseas, and sent a lot of work teams to communicate with those cooperative clubs to teach the successful experience of Millwall youth training players. Most of the money was purchased by young talented players, but It does not allow players to come to the Millwall Club, choose to rent it out directly, and have ownership of the players. In the future, the club will need it. If they are attached to the recruitment standard, then they can be directly transferred back to the club, but if Millwall¡¯s index cannot be reached Assistance requirements, you can cash back your investment when appropriate.


    Most of them are 87-year-old players. In the summer of 2005, they were about 18 years old, in line with Millwall''s investment philosophy.


    For example, Fellaini, Mene among the four cygnets in France, Hedila in Germany, etc.


    Compared to the summer of the previous two seasons, Chelsea had a sweeping atmosphere in the transfer market, resulting in the entire football world, even the giants are no exception. Everyone in the summer of 2005, Millwall did not know, But their situation is much better and much more stable than before.


    Digging the wall will always exist, but Millwall¡¯s players only lasted one year after renewing last season. It is extremely difficult to dig a corner. In addition to just witnessing Southgate¡¯s retirement, it is also an invisible player to the inside. The baptism of the field of thought, and then considering the strength of Millwall''s successful defending double crown last season, there is no heavyweight player in the team who has the idea of ??moving.


    Real Madrid President Florentino is already learning the lessons of past failures, focusing on strengthening the back line, but for his intention to buy Ramos, Millwall officially refused.


    then?


    No more.


    Everything is calm.


    This shows one thing, Ramos himself did not transfer to Spain after receiving the news, the idea of ??playing for Real Madrid.


    And Chelsea digs again tentatively, it becomes self-deprecating.


    Even the unknown generation of the Millwall youth team will not be interested in Chelsea¡¯s invitation. It seems that going to Chelsea is a black hole vortex that will sink into it.


    Young players are a little taboo against Chelsea, because apart from carrying the traitor¡¯s infamy, this is the psychological pressure that most of them can¡¯t bear now. On the other hand, it is difficult to see the day when Chelsea is in their early days. Even if they are rich, they will look away Focusing on the greenery, under the supervision of Mourinho, it is almost impossible to see Chelsea training young players. Glen Johnson, who left from Millwall, became an invisible man in Chelsea, compared to the one coached by Ericson. This season''s drop in appearance rate is too obvious.


    Millwall''s summer is proceeding in an orderly manner. In the Premier League, one thing has shaken the world.


    June 22.


    Manchester United withdraws from the London Stock Exchange!


    June 28.


    The Glazer family, which owns more than 90% of the shares, initiated a compulsory acquisition. On this day, Manchester United completely became the private owner of the Glazer family!


    At the same time, Manchester United, the second richest club in the world, became the world''s most indebted club overnight!


    Of course, debt and poverty are two concepts.


    In the capital market, it is normal for companies to have liabilities.


    It is also because the Glazers use this investment as a capital game, so they can pry up capital in a way that ordinary people do not understand, and complete this shocking acquisition. They do not mortgage their own assets, nor do they themselves Have the capital to acquire Manchester United with its own financial resources, but used Manchester United as a collateral before the acquisition was successful, and successfully raised funds, fell into the main Manchester Old Trafford, and at the same time when the acquisition was completed, Manchester United, also The mortgage was completed, and the tremendous debt was burdened.


    Manchester was almost in a riot, and countless Red Devils fans protested the Americans¡¯ lordship, clamoring for the Glazers to get out!


    Even the fan community has a tendency to split, because according to the tabloid disclosure, this time the club was acquired, among which Ferguson played a role in boosting, or he was suspected of attracting a wolf!


    Of course, people who stand and speak without back pain can say that the club¡¯s debt is normal and there is no need to make a fuss.


    However, objectively analyzing, Manchester United''s profitability has not fluctuated too much due to the ownership of the Glazer family and the change of boss.


    If there were 150 million pounds of operating income in the past year, and the growth rate was 10%, then next season, Manchester United¡¯s operating income will be 165 million pounds. However, if Manchester United needs to repay the debt, it will have to take out a part, such as 30 million pounds. Well, they lost 15 million pounds in revenue compared to last season.


    The core of the problem is that the Edwards family and the other shareholders of Manchester United sell their money from the sale of Manchester United shares, which belongs to them.


    The Glazers did not use their own financial resources to fill this fiscal vacancy, they used mortgage lending. In other words, for a long period of time afterwards, Manchester United continued to repay debts, but only to allow the Glazers to "justify their reputations" to reduce the crisis. Own Manchester United.


    In this process, due to the increase in huge debt expenditures, Manchester United''s competitiveness will inevitably be affected, because European football has completely entered the capital era!


    Manchester United fans protested, on the one hand, because of the maintenance of tradition. Most overseas fans actually don''t care about the identity of the boss, but the British care!


    The traditional giant Manchester United has become the private property of Americans!


    This is unacceptable to the vast majority of local Manchester United fans. This kind of grievance is definitely more than Chelsea fans care whether the boss is a Russian rich. After all, Abu is the savior of the airborne Stamford Bridge, and the Glazer family is the vampire image portrayed by the tabloid. Come and use Manchester United to make money!


    On the other hand, it is very realistic.


    Millwall has just finished defending the UEFA Champions League, and the renewal is almost completed. It will enter an era of extremely strong!


    Even without mentioning Millwall, even Chelsea in West London is already riding Manchester United.


    How can Manchester United fans feel no crisis?


    To improve the competitiveness of the club, of course it costs money!


    However, Manchester United became the world''s most indebted club overnight!


    How can it endure?


    Arsenal can bear it. They are building a new stadium. After waiting for the new stadium to be completed, the financial revenue will be significantly improved, and the future will be better and better. There is a vigorous development prospect.


    Can Manchester United?


    It was obviously a rich, very, very wealthy club. In the past, fans were fighting the Edwards family!


    Because Edwards is too stingy, when Manchester United is financially rich, and when other clubs are burning money, Manchester United is not shabby, but there is rarely an absolute big investment. One of them made Ferguson¡¯s eyes controversial, yes. Is the Belon bought at a high price, but Rooney bought last season invested a lot, but it makes up for this. On average, the total investment per season, Manchester United¡¯s expenditure does not meet their world status, especially in terms of financial resources. .


    There used to be money to hold back unwilling to spend hard, in the future, it may be that you want to spend but there is no big money to spend.

 Chapter 1111： All parties move forward steadily

    During Manchester United''s turmoil, this is of course good news for Millwall, and it is not just fan protests like that. The new boss is in a state of panic, which casts a shadow on the prospect of Manchester United in the new season.


    What is more important is the impact on the next few seasons. This is a far-reaching event.


    Just in July, when Aldridge was on vacation with his family in Northern Europe, he suddenly received a text message.


    From Shevchenko, the text is: Boss, sorry.


    Unlike Vieira, Ballack, Fannie, and Audridge are more like friends. After all, they are not reused in Millwall, and no one owes another to each other. Audridge never died. , Did not delay their future.


    However, players such as Shevchenko, Trezeguet, and Pirlo were indeed reused at a certain time under Odric. The mentor and the disciple worked together to create a team and individual glory.


    That belongs to their beautiful memories. No matter where they left, this mentorship still exists.


    After reading the text message, Aldridge probably guessed something.


    He did not send a text message to Shevchenko, because, he did not know whether to bless or encourage, it seems that his position is not appropriate.


    In the summer of 1998, Shevchenko, who came to San Siro in the Champions League aura, has been the darling of the city for the past 7 years. However, as Serie A stars have fled, the overall appreciation has declined, and the sponsors have been prohibitive. The economic environment and other factors have affected the financial situation of the Serie A team, and the giants are no exception. AC Milan faced Chelsea''s sky-high cheques and inevitably moved.


    Abu''s love for Shevchenko, in addition to the factors of the Eastern European fellows, it is true that because Shevchenko fully proved himself in Serie A, the Ukrainian nuclear warheads are not infamous.


    A ¡ê45 million check knocked on the door of AC Milan.


    Shevchenko was notified by the club to be able to negotiate a transfer. It can be said that AC Milan announced that he was no longer needed.


    At this moment, Shevchenko is full of bitterness.


    Seven years ago, someone really kept him, and he chose to leave.


    Seven years later, he did not want to go, but he had to go.


    The drama of the fate of reincarnation is that after seven years, he will return to the Premier League, return to London, and put on a blue jersey, but he is completely opposed to the old club camp seven years ago.


    Chelsea also has another transfer that has been successfully operated. There is still a year of Barak in Bayern Munich. The renewal has not progressed. The salary of the Bundesliga is relatively low compared to other top European leagues. The giants are no exception, especially At the fork in this capital age, the Premier League is making great strides, and Germany is still on the eve of the cocoon rebirth. It can meet the salary requirements of status stars such as Barack. There are not too many clubs in the world, but if it can be generous and generous The players are 100% satisfied, which is really rare. It happens that Chelsea, who is not bad, is one of them.


    Bayern Munich is reluctant to end up flying, and Chelsea¡¯s ¡ê20 million offer is indeed of high sincerity.


    As a result, Chelsea took the lead in setting off a sensation in the summer transfer market.


    Abu threw a lot of money for the third consecutive year.


    65 million pounds brings two world-class superstars!


    But these two sensational transfers have negative news.


    The pervasive Fleet Street tabloid paparazzi reporter revealed: Chelsea coach Mourinho is dissatisfied with Abu!


    Most people regard this as a "combat drama", a power struggle.


    Who is the boss of the team?


    The boss is not necessarily the boss.


    Just like if the Glazer family joins Old Trafford, and the boss wants to overtake Ferguson and participate in the management of the team''s competitive affairs, then Ferguson will be furious and let the Glazer family pay the price.


    And such things are being staged at Stamford Bridge.


    Some people are also surprised.


    Can you say that Abu is too worried?


    After all, 99% of coaches in the world will not refuse to join Shevchenko and Barak!


    Yes, if those coaches have the opportunity to command these two world-class players to play for themselves, they will surely be happy.


    But objectively and calmly analyze, does Chelsea need these two people?


    Long thought last summer, when Rooney made a big splash at the European Cup, Abu claimed to pay ¡ê45 million for Rooney. This transfer intention was also confirmed and yearned in Mourinho¡¯s mouth. It seems that Mourinho is not After resisting Abu seeing his heartbeat, he opened his pocket to attract players.


    But things still have to be discussed.


    Last summer, Chelsea reorganized in the hands of Mourinho, as far as possible to attract good players, this is not wrong, Mourinho naturally nodded in agreement.


    The reality is that you cannot buy all the players you are interested in!


    Then attack in all directions in the transfer market, wait for the transfer fee budget to be spent, stop to see the lineup of the hand, and then strengthen it targetedly. This is nothing wrong, just like if Rooney joined Stamford Bridge last summer, Drow Is it true that Pakistan can still wear the blue army jersey?


    By this season, the situation is very different from last season. Mourinho''s ideal lineup is close to taking shape. Chelsea needs stability most. The locker room, the arena, and double stability cannot be ignored. What was expected in the past season. Running in, Chelsea will make some progress in the new season, and the overall strength should be more powerful, but the boss suddenly plugged two superstars who have to play the main force only to see their value and came to the team, the plan was disrupted!


    The nameless junior came, but the players with superstar auras, but such players, no, it is against the boss, use? how to use?


    If you don¡¯t move the main positions of Lampard and Drogba or Essin Makelele, Mourinho¡¯s set of counterattack tactics based on side raids will change, redesigning a set that allows coexistence of superstars. Tactics.


    And a new set of tactics needs to be adjusted and adjusted. In the process, will the sacrificed players have no complaints? As a price record, this pot must be Mourinho''s back!


    Mourinho wanted to prove himself at Stamford Bridge, at least, he was not willing to lose to Aldridge.


    So he couldn''t take the initiative to turn his face with Abu. In that case, he would definitely be swept out of the house. Then, his journey in England would only end in being laughed at by everyone outside.


    Others would not say that Abu Yue was acting as a substitute, only that Mourinho was a deserter.


    Moreover, the resources in his hands are the dreams of other coaches. Mourinho will not be willing to leave until some results are made.


    From a strategic point of view, Aldridge, who has not returned to London on vacation, clapped Chelsea for this transfer.


    Abu is like Florentino in the early days when Real Madrid built the Galaxy Battleship. The layman leads the insider and builds the team against the rules of football development.


    The formation of a team into a smooth system is to consider a lot of intricate factors. Taking Millwall as an example, the first is the clear status. Aldridge rarely brings threats from the outside. Players in the same position as players are on the one hand, they have either the top strength or the top potential, and on the other hand, they avoid causing psychological uneasiness for the players.


    The team will create a good competitive atmosphere, rather than let the players bravely prepare to compete, and suddenly found that he was kicked out of the competition, because the club directly bought a player whose external evaluation absolutely surpassed himself.


    But emotionally, Aldridge is not happy again, and can only choose to ignore and try not to think about the changes that have happened in Chelsea. The good news is that as long as Mourinho cannot solve the balance between lineup and tactics, then, the new season In the Premier League, the challenger Millwall faced is almost not as difficult as last season. You know that Chelsea scored more than 90 points last season, and Millwall scored 97 points in the same period. In order to be sure to win two rounds in advance.


    Millwall remained stable, no players left the team, only Southgate retired.


    Well, in the transfer market, the successful team does not change, and Aldridge does not need to worry about the old player being another year old. The replacement is prepared before, and it is almost time to harvest.


    But Bout in the goalkeeper position. In the middle of the season, Aldridge had the urge to find a successor in the summer. Although the 31-year-old Bout is a veteran, according to the goalkeeper¡¯s professional life, it has not yet arrived. At the end of his career, but the occasional unstable state is indeed a hidden danger.


    But in the final stage of last season, in the league championship and the key battle of the Champions League, Bout did not lose the chain, the team harvested a double crown, to treat such a meritorious veteran, Aldridge could not be cruel at any juncture at this juncture. Take away his main position.


    Another factor that influenced his thinking was that he always hoped that Joe Hart could take over and take over a seamless connection with Bout.


    However, Joe Hart, who is only 18 years old, is really immature. He will rent out to exercise in the new season, and it is impossible to stay on the team and directly replace Bout. Aldrich no matter how bold and dare to let Joe Hart Come to play the brutal Premier League, especially for a super giant who wants to win every game and will be bombarded by the media if there are points lost, and he dare not let him play the Champions League, in case he makes a major mistake in a key game , Maybe external pressure will destroy him directly!


    In the final analysis, the goalkeeper''s position is too critical and too fragile. Once handled inadvertently, the impact is inestimable. After Manchester United since Schmeichel, the goalkeeper''s position is Ferguson''s persistent illness.


    Moreover, Bout has not yet committed Tiantian, and suddenly left him cold. He can even say that he directly took off his main position. As a matter of reason, the club did not get support. Aldridge hopes that the new season will still be dominated by stability.

 Chapter 1112： New Gareth

    Before Millwall''s preparations for the new season arrived, they had already made a lot of moves in the transfer market, and they were in line with their usual development policy, and plan ahead!


    Different from bringing players back to Leo Training Base in the past, the players that Luozhi basically bought this summer and then rented them out. The club has scouts to track the player''s performance throughout the process and regularly report to the club.


    But at home, Millwall made a deal that surprised the outside world.


    Bell, who had just turned 16 in the summer, came to Millwall for training. He basically passed the assessment of the Millwall coaching staff. Although it does not seem that he is particularly outstanding, only the speed item is outstanding.


    Millwall accepts trial training from many players from all over the world every year, so even if Bell passes the trial training, it is just the one who looks inconspicuous.


    However, after returning to London, Aldridge selected a number of players who passed the trial training and selectively signed the contract. Bell was specially marked with a work instruction focused on cultivation.


    So Millwall asked the Southampton Club for a price of 3 million pounds, and finally sold for 5 million pounds. With additional terms, this transfer may reach 8 million pounds.


    Fleet Street''s assessment of this transfer is divided into two factions. One faction praises Southampton for making a good deal, earning a net ¡ê5 million at no cost, and possibly earning an additional ¡ê3 million.


    The other faction praised Millwall in advance, and believed that Millwall had made a good deal, and Bell, who hadn''t had much dazzling aura, was put on a genius hat!


    No way, Fleet Street has been hit by numbness in these years. Mill Walken spent more than 5 million to buy a 16-year-old "child". If this "child" is not a genius, no one will believe it!


    Half a year later, Wenger took away another "genius" from Southampton for almost the same price: the little tiger Walcott.


    Millwall''s summer preparations will go to Asia for training. This is a tradition of Millwall. In the summer of the competition year, players need more time to rest, and non-competition years can be commercialized.


    The first team assembled and left London on their own plane.


    All of a sudden, Leo Training Base changed from Mentingruo to Mencora.


    In fact, there are fewer paparazzi!


    The most-watched first-team star players are not here. Who still runs here to find news?


    Bell''s transfer received great attention from the outside world in the early stages of its finalization.


    However, when broadcasting news, most of the media did not know the child, and did not understand it at all. He generally knew that he was a full-back when he received youth training in Southampton, and he was immediately in awe.


    Because Millwall does not lack a full-back, the young ones include Ram, Ramos, Baines, veterans Schneider, and Neil.


    Regardless of how much attention Bell has given to the outside world, in fact Millwall treats young players in addition to spending different energy on training, but can maintain the same posture in attitude, no one is special.


    This could not reduce Bell''s excitement. He came to London with his family and settled happily, and began his football career in Millwall under the supervision of his family.


    Even if he was not interested, he could not affect his enthusiasm.


    Two days after the first team went to Asia for training and commercial promotion, Bell came to the club to report.


    For a 16-year-old child, Millwall didn''t even hold a transfer ceremony for him, just officially released a message. After all, he didn''t have a jersey in the first team. The youth team was waiting for him.


    Bell was very excited, so he came early.


    When he proudly told the guards that he was a Millwall player and came to the training base for training, he didn''t mind the guards preventing him from inquiring.


    After confirming his identity, the guards let him in and pointed him in the direction of the youth team.


    Bell trot and waved: "Thank you, but I admit the way, I''ve been here before!"


    It seems that in the minds of many young people with dreams of football, as long as they have been to this prestigious "superstar cradle", it is a great honor.


    When he came to the training ground of the youth team, he only reacted: came too early!


    The training ground was empty.


    But there was still a figure on the sidelines that caught his eye.


    Large trees will be planted on both sides of the training ground for wind protection.


    On the big tree near the training ground, a car tire was hung. At this time, a small young player was wearing a training suit and practiced his footwork. He naturally kicked a ball more than 15 meters away to the center of the tire. .


    Bell trot past, ready to say hello, but in the process of running past, he was surprised that the small player''s footwork is particularly good, almost ten shots, can hit the tire center 8 times.


    You need to know that the tire is suspended, and the ball is placed in front of that person at different angles and in different directions.


    Bell is excited!


    This is Millwall.


    Where seemingly insignificant, there is always a blockbuster manifestation.


    The man started to pick up the ball, and Bell also ran near, he beckoned: "Hi, I''ll help you!"


    The man turned his head to look at Bell, exposing his thoughts, and seemed to think Bell was familiar to him.


    Bell also froze, shouting: "I know you! We played hands a few months ago."


    The person who trained here alone is Aguero.


    He didn''t enter the first team, so he didn''t follow the first team to Asia. Today, with nothing to do, he came to the training base early to start training alone.


    His mood has been a bit low recently.


    Aguero, who stood on the spot, tried hard for a long time, and he saw that the reason Bell felt familiar was simple.


    Bell''s appearance is easy to remember.


    That is definitely not a public face.


    Aguero confirmed where he had seen this face, and more than once.


    When Bell said they had played, Aguero was even more entangled, and could not remember it.


    "Hello, my name is Gareth Bale."


    Bell extended his hand first. He was more impressed than Aguero because he came here to play a few months ago. Aguero is the most dazzling star on the field and looks like his peers.


    Aguero reached out and asked in doubt: "Garez? Is Gareth Southgate''s Gareth?"


    For a moment, Bell didn''t expect the other party to say such things. After thinking about it, he replied: "Uh, it should be right."


    "Oh hello, my name is Sergio Aguero, and my friends will call me KUN, um, I remember, Gareth Bell, you just joined Millwall, right? You? Where to kick?"


    Aguero¡¯s mood is not high, one reason is that he has come to London for many years, from the moment he came here, he was branded with Millwall, and in his growing years, the club¡¯s hero Naturally, they are the objects of the most admiration and longing to fight side by side.


    However, he didn''t wait until he could enter the first team, but some seniors have already retired, which makes him very sorry.


    It¡¯s also instinct to ask Bell where to play.


    Even if Aguero knew in his heart that his opponent was going to compete, the figures to be chased were Henry, Villa, and even Ronaldo, Messi, but there were newcomers, just to find out if the other party was in the same position with himself, There is a competitive relationship.


    Bell scratched his hair and seemed a little embarrassed: "Uh, fullback. You should know."


    He felt embarrassed, because the opponent''s words obviously didn''t remember the last match between the two sides.


    They had a head-to-head confrontation, er, Bell defeated.


    Aguero sorted out his mood and smiled at Bell, saying, "Welcome to Millwall."


    After all, he continued to pick up the ball, intending to continue his foot training.


    Bell really helped him pick up the ball, but he talked a lot, and a curious person was interested in everything.


    "Coach Najib told me to train with the youth team, how about you? Are you also on the youth team?"


    "I was in the youth team last season. In the new season, I should be promoted to the reserve team. After all, the Youth League, the UEFA Youth League and the Youth FA Cup seem to have no challenges."


    "Uh... can I go to the reserve team? I want to play with you."


    "It shouldn''t work. There are rules here. Those who came to the team under the age of 18, no matter what your ability, at least stay in the youth team for the first half of the season.


    "why?"


    "The tradition of Millwall, you must first learn everything here, plus, no one knows you, you can be recruited into the first team at any time, you have to let everyone know you anyway, The coaches will allow you to enter the reserve team."


    Bell held two footballs in a state of distraction.


    It seems that he really came to Millwall and found that his vision was not the same as reality.


    Aguero set the ball again and was ready to continue training, but he saw Bell in a daze and called out: "Garez, you come and try."


    Bell was embarrassed and walked past with a scalp and tried to shoot a two-footed ball, but he failed to hit the bullseye. He said embarrassedly, "Uh, I rarely practiced like this before."


    Aguero shrugged: "I have seen a lot of players in England, they rarely practice technology, the full-back can play like you, it''s not bad."


    The gap between Millwall and the traditional training system in England has become apparent in recent years, and even the quality of training in other countries has declined.


    Because there is a clear trend in football training, that is, industrialization, as if football players are beginning to be produced on the assembly line.


    So much so that now the German football emperor Beckenbauer claims to promote street football, and the Dutch celebrity Cruyff is also attaching importance to street football in traditional training programs.


    European football itself lacks aura and freedom compared to South America, but in technical training, this can be improved.


    Millwall has insisted on strengthening the technical training of players for many years, and regularly participates in street football games every week, in order to improve the technology, and to prevent the thinking of playing football from becoming rigid. Unfortunately, Millwall is still relative to the entire English football. Very small, and technical training is closed. Street football is also considered as homework, and it is difficult to attract the attention of the outside world.

 Chapter 1113： Continuation of blue horror

    Bell felt that Aguero was a good new friend.


    At least if he has doubts, Aguero will answer a lot and explain clearly.


    And if someone cherishes his words like gold, there is obviously a subtext saying: I don¡¯t want to take care of you!


    So Bell, with a dream of fame and fame, asked unfailingly: "KUN, I didn¡¯t quite understand what you said just now, uh, many teams have introduced young players, and those players will be played in the first season. Will Millwall have such a weird tradition?"


    Aguero leaned back and thought for a long time, and finally frowned, saying: "I don¡¯t know which teams you are referring to, but I know that Millwall has been doing this for so many years, so we have been European. No, the strongest team in the world. If the coach answers your question, you should say that you want to contribute to the team. First of all, you must understand your role, not only your strength, characteristics, but also Understand the characteristics of teammates, the way our team plays, at least 11 players on the field must have a very high tacit understanding, so that even if your strength has not reached the best, but you can still make great for the team contribution."


    Bell understood, and at the same time he felt a little nervous.


    It feels very difficult to get ahead in Millwall.


    This is a normal thing.


    First-class players are more likely to succeed in second-tier teams, but if first-class players want to succeed in the giants, I am afraid that it will be a question of whether they can gain a foothold.


    Bell humbly consulted with Aguero, he felt that Aguero could provide him with a lot of experience, allowing him to quickly integrate into Millwall.


    Aguero didn''t hide himself, or dismissed himself as a ground snake, and dismissed Bell. In fact, he didn''t have many friends in Millwall, because the flow of people here is too large, and the low-level echelon is almost refreshed every year. The youth team officially playing the game will also have a staff wash in about two years. Most of them are eliminated in the competition. Only a few are not seen here. They are attracted by other clubs, plus Millwall Lack of sincerity to retain itself, he packed his luggage early and rushed to a new future.


    He also didn''t know how long Bell would stay here. Maybe after a year or two, this new friend today will be forgotten and no longer appear in the attention of the top football stadiums.


    "The Philosophy of Survival at Millwall, um, philosophy, this is a word that the head likes to say, I think it is very deep. Here, don¡¯t think of yourself as self-righteous, don¡¯t think how good or how bad you play, Everything about you is judged by the coach, and don¡¯t refute anything with the coach. It doesn¡¯t make sense. It will only delay your own future. Two years ago, a player was very talented and should be said to be uniquely good. In addition to the active genius owned by Millwall, he was swept out a year later because he lacked a ball dealer and was never in the rhythm with his teammates during the game. He always focused on himself and the coach tried to help him correct , But I feel like he doesn¡¯t want to change. He always wants to make himself the focus. He treats football as a performance by himself. As a result, Millwall gave up on him. Now, he can¡¯t hear any news about him. Every day, it happens on the youth team. I have a friend, Messi. He is now playing in the first team. He also had a similar problem for some time. He was educated by the coaches for a while. He made changes, and then, He entered the first team last season and although he was still training and playing in the reserve team 80% of the time, he was very close to success."


    After talking with Aguero for a short period of time, Bell roughly understood what he needed to do in Millwall. In this young star''s fascinating "superstar cradle", he began to fade some dreamy fantasy, began to take Normally meet all the challenges that belong to him here.


    ...


    At the end of July, Millwall''s Asian practice ended and the team returned to London with fatigue.


    In Asia, they have to participate in many business activities, but also play a friendly match, coupled with the time difference between running back and forth, which will inevitably affect the team''s pre-season state.


    Business and competition not only have positive mutual influences, they also have negative influences.


    Aldrich considered that he would be 30 years old tomorrow summer, and felt that it would be a more milestone age, so he decided to change his image in the new season.


    This change is not big, just to make his image more suitable to his age, he began to accumulate beards, of course, not a big beard, but mature short beards.


    At least this makes him look more masculine.


    Next year is the World Cup year.


    England is the defending champion of the World Cup. In order to allow the England national team to have enough time to prepare for the World Cup next summer, there is enough time to recover the fatigue caused by the league before the big game, so the new season schedule will start as soon as possible, and compared with previous years End early.


    For example, the last season ended May 15th in the Premier League, and the new season will be on May 7 next year, giving England a full month of preparation!


    Then the league will start as soon as possible. On August 13, the Premier League will be unveiled.


    In contrast, the community shield competition will also be held in advance.


    Back to the club, Aldridge looked at the physical fitness of the team.


    Millwall''s preparation for the training is not ideal. It is said that it is a training. Under the influence of numerous commercial activities, how can the training have a good effect?


    To get the gold, and want to ensure that the competitive state is not affected, how can there be such a good thing in the world?


    However, Millwall went to Asia for a lap, attracting "half billion" pounds of sterling. At least the purpose of earning money and fame is to achieve it, and the price paid is also rewarding.


    In order to make the team better in the new season, instead of rushing to play, Aldridge deliberately arranged a physical reserve training plan for the main players after returning to London. At the beginning of the season, the bench will let the substitutes cope.


    Before leaving the community shield, on the training ground of the first team of Millwall, the players cheered and made a fuss with Aldridge''s beard!


    "Boss, are you going to act in a movie? You can act as a tramp!"


    "Don''t listen to him, boss, the beard is very nice, how domineering!"


    "Boss, are you ready for a handkerchief? Drink water carefully on your beard!"


    ...


    Faced with the coaxing players, Aldridge did not respond with interest.


    I feel like the image building has failed.


    Because his daughter Bonnie was "furious" about his beard shape, crying that dad became ugly!


    This forced Aldrich to plan to change his short beard into a "light beard" shape after returning home.


    On the training ground, Aldrich chatted with his coaching staff with arms around his chest.


    Blanco said: "Our current lineup does not need reinforcement, as long as no players leave, but if there is, even if it is a substitute, we need to quickly operate in the transfer market in a targeted manner."


    Boas nodded in agreement: "Yes, now we can basically guarantee that there are two players in each position, one main force and one substitute. If there is a weak link, the first is the goalkeeper position, Palyuka. I decided to retire next summer. In the last year, I think it is difficult to guarantee his competitive state on the bench, but I can¡¯t rashly draw conclusions. The back line is completely fine. De Rossi and Pedretti in the midfield position let us have With the guarantee of the thickness of the lineup, it is just Alonso¡¯s position. If Moutinho or Veroso come to the bench, I think it is too risky."


    Stella Maggioni interjected at this time: "No problem, Nedved can do that position, and it can be considered to maximize the role of Nedved."


    Aldridge did not express his opinion. Nedved''s positioning is already a substitute. He is a firefighter. Instead of staring at a position to play a substitute, he only stands behind Kaka, but will provide protection for multiple positions of the team.


    Boas continued: "There is nothing to worry about on the offensive end. Three generations of old, young and middle-aged, we have strong capital."


    For the introduction of Bell to the club, the coaching staff was actually not at ease.


    At least the first-team coaching staff is not at ease, it has nothing to do with how much money is spent.


    Just like Moutinho and Veroso spent a lot of money on Millwall, but in the work plan, these two people are not important, let alone Bell, who just turned 16 years old.


    Aldridge went to the youth team to look at Bell when he came back and did something that excites Bell.


    Makeover!


    In the plan to focus on training Bell, Bell will be listed as an offensive player. How to do it, there will be a coaching team of the youth team to worry about. According to the talents Bell has shown, er, for now, speed is the biggest feature, Then the sidewalk is of course the mainstream choice.


    During the pre-season group photo, the others were all in position, and Aldridge stood up and faced everyone. At this time, no player would make any noise without knowing it, everyone looked serious. Waiting for Aldridge''s official pre-season training.


    Aldridge with a beard is not a nonsense, and he solemnly said to everyone: "In the new season, we will create a new history! The real first in history!"


    After speaking, the team made an inspiring shout, and Aldridge turned to sit down.


    For this mad lion, who is so powerful and unmatched, it is their urgent desire to make history as soon as possible, because no one dares to pack tickets. When you are the strongest, you don¡¯t fight for honor, then in the future, you may Feeling weak.


    The football world is a compressed version of reality. If you miss it, you may only regret it without any remedy.


    Millwall is now the team that tied for the first place in the Champions League. They only need one champion to become the first in history!


    How can this earth-shattering honor not be taken?


    For Aldridge, with the lessons learned from Klinsmann¡¯s encounter with Waterloo after 2002, he has also become selfish and painstakingly managing the team created for many years. Perhaps for him, the challenges ahead are indeed not many. However, he was reluctant to give away the harvest of "happy enjoyment".


    The Millwall first team is still on the road of "looting" and they want to continue their "blue terror"!


    Attachment: 2005-2006 season Millwall first team lineup goalkeepers: Bout, Palyuka, Kirkland.


    Guards: Schneider, Ramos, Nesta, Silva, Balzali, Neil, Ram, Baines.


    Midfielders: De Rossi, Pedretti, Veroso, Alonso, Moutinho, Kaka, Nedved, Ramor.


    Forwards: C Ronaldo, Larson, Glenn Charles, Henry, Villa, Messi, Ronaldinho.


    Total: 26 people.

 Chapter 1114： Doom

    Millwall''s lineup is close to "perfect", so there is no need to make waves in the transfer market.


    Compared to their neighbors in North London, Arsenal could not be considered a particular defeat last season, because at least they won a weighty championship trophy: the FA Cup.


    However, it should be noted that in the difficult 120-minute hard battle with Manchester United, Arsenal has lost the domineering scene, and even the delicate and smooth technical **** style, almost the entire audience is suppressed by Manchester United, but Manchester United lacks luck, 120 Minute breaking goal, and finally hate the penalty shootout.


    After Vieira left, Arsenal''s weakness in the midfield was gradually exposed. In this summer, Arsenal''s heavyweight signing was to strengthen the midfield.


    Helleb, who was born in Eastern Europe and was known as "New Nedved", was transferred from the Bundesliga to the arsenal. In addition, Wenger dug Alexander Song from his home France, but too young Song will not be in The Gunners play an important role in this season''s plan, not even playing the role of soy sauce.


    Wenger, an idealistic seeker, seems to be beginning to weaken the attributes of the once-tough and terrifying gunmen, especially in the midfield, he seems to be pursuing a delicate and beautiful attack, and he no longer intends to copy such as "Vieira" + Palol, "Irona + Gilberto Silva" iron waist combination.


    Arsenal and Millwall joined Cardiff Wales Millennium Stadium.


    Before the opening of the community shield, Aldridge''s previous image of the beard has been "sneered" by Fleet Street.


    Such as something that does not conform to his image of a handsome young man, the subversive impact is too strong, or simply that he deliberately dresses up deeply.


    By the time he attended the pre-match press conference, he had become a faint-hearted image, which was easier to accept, and in terms of image and visual perception, it was much better, the charming and handsome young handsome came back Too.


    For the community shield, Aldridge said lightly: "Last season we stuck to the end and created a new glory. We need more time to rest. Unfortunately, our summer preparations are not very satisfactory, so the team is short-term The plan is to give the team¡¯s main players more time to prepare for their physical and competitive status to return to the best, community shield? I think it¡¯s time to test young people, some of the team¡¯s young players last season, We must give them the chance to play in important games, feel the atmosphere of the field, withstand the impact of pressure, accumulate more experience, we will wait and see."


    About the strength assessment of Arsenal in the new season?


    "Arsenal have always been Millwall''s main competitors. Now they are full of vitality. Players like Fabregas, Senderos, Van Persie, etc. represent the future of Arsenal, although the outside world believes that Millwall''s overall strength is better than Arsenal are stronger, but we cannot ignore the fact that in the league competition, Millwall is more eye-catching than other championship teams. It is a lot of teams willing to try to beat the defending champion. What if they win? More exciting than winning the championship!"


    This is the truth of Aldridge.


    In the Premier League, in addition to the championship team, other teams playing Millwall, a tie may represent victory!


    But maybe when you encounter Arsenal, you may have a whim, maybe you got 3 points?


    From the technical and tactical level, do the strong teams like to play the ultimate defense against opponents or do they like to attack?


    The answer is clear: Of course it is better that the opponent dares to attack.


    Aldridge sent a large number of young players on this community shield.


    Moutinho, Veroso, Messi, Ramos, Baines and other players all debuted. Even Aguero was temporarily transferred to the first team to stand by, and came off the bench in the second half of the community shield.


    Millwall is really training.


    Arsenal is doing their best, and it is still defensive.


    They didn''t have much advantage in the scene. At least when playing Millwall, the new generation of core Fabregas supported by Wenger did not reach the fire, but it did not fall. It can only be said that the scene cannot be controlled.


    Millwall lacked a group of experienced generals, especially losing rhythm control and lacking patience to break through intensive defense.


    Messi''s breakthrough is unforgettable, but he can''t decide the game yet.


    Aguero''s coming off the bench did not surprise everyone. He, a small man, still needs a certain amount of adaptation. After all, he suddenly came to an extremely fierce top field.


    Villa is not in the best state, and missed two good opportunities.


    Cristiano Ronaldo, who appeared at the last moment, was also busy, seeming a little absent-minded.


    Although everyone on the court knows each other, but the formation of 11 starting lineups, it is difficult to play the best level in the high demands of breaking intensive defense.


    The draw ended in a 90-minute draw, and the Community Shield entered the penalty shootout without overtime.


    Aldridge witnessed one of Millwall¡¯s most tragic penalty shootouts!


    3: 0, complete defeat!


    Three kicks kicked!


    The list of penalties he ejected missed the first three rounds!


    Ronaldo hit the plane first.


    Villa directly put the ball into the arms of the other Lehman.


    Messi''s poor luck hit the crossbar with a penalty kick, it may also be caused by the huge pressure when he played.


    Arsenal did not expect a hard fight for 90 minutes, and the final penalty shootout was so easy to win!


    Wenger couldn''t help laughing.


    He hopes that this season will allow many young players to grow up quickly, and growth, of course, depends on victory, which is a stimulant to stimulate young players.


    It''s just that Wenger probably didn''t think of it. The FA Cup last season and the community shield of the new season are the starting points for his uncapped championship for the next ten years.


    Aldridge doesn''t care much about the failure of a community shield, and since it is training, he must be conscious.


    He feels that the problems reflected by the Community Shield game are very good. The status of the players and the shortcomings of the team''s young lineup will all attract the attention of the coaching staff.


    It was just that after the game, Fleet Street used his beard to make a fuss, which made him a little unbearable.


    Aldridge was angry and laughing at what "destroyed the beard", what "failed change" and the like.


    He was too lazy to respond to the media.


    As a result, things went in a direction that he did not expect.


    In the new season of the Premier League, Millwall will restore the main players more fully. At the same time, there will be a World Cup next summer. Veterans like Larson and Nedved will be on the one hand. On the other hand, it is a rainy day and needs to give the World Cup some strength. In terms of use, the club will give them more consideration, protect them as much as possible, and use it very carefully.


    As the defending champion of the Premier League, Millwall played a mess in the Premier League in August.


    Four Premier League games, the main play two games, the opening game on the 13th, the third round on the 24th, two games with one win and one draw, the record is OK.


    However, the bench lineup in the second round of the 20th and the fourth round of the British on the 27th time out, then handed out a bad transcript.


    After four rounds of English over, Millwall only had 5 points, and what about the top team?


    Four wins, 12 points!


    They are both teams, and they are both direct competitors of Millwall.


    Manchester United and Chelsea are at the same time in the standings. The league kicked off, and Millwall was 7 points away!


    Fleet Street is excited.


    Even the media has already hit the eye-catching title of "Falling Lion Dynasty"!


    Aldrich was very angry, not because the media exaggerated the negative significance of Millwall''s record, but rather, the media chatter kept making his article for a month!


    "Doom" is the one that Aldridge hates the most since he was nicknamed!


    To calmly and objectively analyze the problem of the decline in the team''s record, it is actually clear at a glance.


    On the 24th, Millwall was about to play the third round of the Premier League, and the main lineup only got a draw.


    It''s an unsatisfactory performance.


    why?


    Because on the 26th, Millwall went to Monaco to play the European Super Cup!


    The opponent is Liverpool, the opponent of the same league. Benitez led Liverpool to relive the UEFA Cup last season.


    Aldridge sent the main line-up in the European Super Cup to play this game and won the game 2-1 with no surprises.


    Then, the team returned to London non-stop, playing the fourth round of the Premier League on the 27th.


    Why don''t they adjust the schedule?


    Millwall can apply to the FA for changing the fourth round to another time.


    However, Millwall did not do so.


    The reason is a bit complicated. "Deep thinking" Aldridge considers that the Premier League does not have a winter break. The Premier League has a double cup. The Premier League has compressed the schedule for the national team to prepare for the World Cup this season. And, **** FIFA.


    They changed the Toyota Cup to the World Club Cup.


    In December, Millwall played the Toyota Cup in the previous year and just went to play one game, but now it is changed to the World Club Cup and they will play two games!


    One semi-final, one final or one or two finals, or three or four finals!


    If Millwall applies to the FA to adjust the schedule, it may wait for the start of the European War next month, and this adjusted schedule will disrupt their established plans.


    This is how it came in the past.


    So on the 24th and 26th, the main lineup played two consecutive games. After the 27th game was completed, they had to go to the national team. The players in the main lineup are all important figures of the national team. Of course, Millwall can no longer make the main lineup. I went to play in the league, but came off the bench, but suffered a defeat.


    After 38 rounds of the Premier League and 4 rounds of play, some media dare to say that Millwall has failed to defend his title and the dynasty has fallen?


    Aldrich just smiled at it, and those media sensationalists were humiliated!


    But Millwall lost the community shield, 7 points in the third round of the league and 7 points were blamed on Aldridge''s beard, this **** can''t bear it!


    He decided not to change the image of the beard at least until the end of the season. At the end of the season, let everyone see if he should bear the name of "doom and beard".

 Chapter 1115： New prologue

    Before the arrival of the FIFA match day at the end of August and early September, Millwall''s team for the Champions League in the new season came out.


    Their signing was pretty good.


    The opponents in the same group are: Porto, Inter Milan, Glasgow Rangers.


    In terms of Millwall''s height and position in the Champions League, in fact, in the current principle of split drawing, no matter how the group is divided, Millwall cannot be divided into the group of death.


    Death is only relative to the opponent.


    Even if they reached the second, third, and last gears, they were all recognized as the strongest teams. Originally, such a group was absolutely dead.


    But in front of Millwall, the qualifying should be no problem.


    However, this grouping situation is based on Millwall''s 100% strength and no effort. In the unreserved battle, Millwall came out without any suspense.


    After returning from the FIFA game day, Millwall will immediately play the fifth round of the Premier League. They will travel to Old Trafford to challenge Manchester United.


    Manchester United and Chelsea led the standings with four consecutive victories.


    During the summer transfer, Manchester United fell into turmoil due to the club''s change of ownership, and the transfer market''s actions seemed to confirm the outsiders'' speculation about the Glazer family.


    Manchester United only introduced a veteran goalkeeper, Van der Sar, and an Asian player who is very unfamiliar to English fans: Park Ji-sung.


    Ferguson was very clear-headed and was not overwhelmed by the temporary advantage in the standings.


    Before the game, he talked about both the inside and the outside, and talked about Millwall¡¯s recent poor league record with an understanding, and insisted that Millwall should not be underestimated. Never think that Millwall has reached the end of the dust. Was kicked out.


    Only when he said this, he seemed to be playing round for Millwall, talking about Millwall going to the Far East in the summer.


    To put it bluntly, it is ironic that Millwall sacrificed the summer preparations, the first record of the league is bad, deserve it!


    Aldrich ignored Ferguson''s words and instead threw a speech.


    "Millwall has not reached the best state before. This is obvious to all. I will not quibble. If I say that Millwall has done his best to do my best, then we have won three rounds of the league. This is simply self-deprecation! I can be sure The point is: Millwall will get better and better, and we are on our way back on track! And one thing I can¡¯t be sure is, Manchester United, Chelsea, when will they be able to hold the lead?"


    In the game of Old Trafford, Aldridge still did not send the strongest lineup. He let Kaka, Ronaldinho and other players from South America across the half of the earth to rest, preparing for the Champions League game.


    At the same time, the veterans, Nedved, Larson, and Schneider, who are fighting for the national team, are also sitting on the bench to prepare for unexpected needs.


    A relatively strong starting lineup appeared in Old Trafford.


    The offensive end is not bad.


    With Ronaldo, Henry and Messi as the trident, Villa ambushed behind Henry, the midfield combination remains unchanged, Alonso and De Rossi.


    The guard line has some concerns, Silva and Nesta truce, Balzali and Neal starter, Ramos also replaced Schneider and Ram as two full-backs.


    Manchester United is at home at home, and the Red Devils, who have won four consecutive victories in the league, are in full swing.


    The whole team held a sigh of resentment. It was hard to say that they were all directed against Millwall. Even if they were suppressed by Millwall all the year round, they still had the unwillingness to lose the FA Cup last season.


    In Manchester United''s starting lineup, the most full-hearted fighting veteran is Keane.


    However, his fighting spirit, to the outsider, has become distorted and has become irritable! out of control!


    Ferguson and Aldridge shook hands before the game, and today''s confrontation will certainly not be a tit-for-tat confrontation.


    For a long time, Manchester United have not been a team that absolutely limits their opponents to tactical footholds, nor are they the ultimate offensive team, so that in the future when Ferguson retires, people who do not like Manchester United will defame Ferguson¡¯s achievements. The old man of Scotland is shaped as the image of the big devil of the Premier League. It seems to be the black boss of the Premier League.


    In fact, it''s just that Manchester United didn''t go to an extreme route. Unlike the team that crazyly attacked the offensive, it didn''t hold the offensive football banner as high as it was, and unlike the utilitarians who tried to prevent it from going down to the end.


    Most people don¡¯t think that Ferguson¡¯s coaching team¡¯s tactics and their extensions are so remarkable. In fact, this kind of thinking is too narrow-minded. If it rises to the spirit, it can understand why Ferguson is the king of the Red Devils. He gives Manchester United injected an unusual temperament.


    This temperament made Aldridge envy and expressed his shame in private.


    If you want to visualize this temperament, rather than the spirit of the Red Devil''s centuries-old inheritance, it is difficult to see now, and think of the future.


    With the changing times, Manchester United is based on the lineup, what is the biggest feature?


    That is when players come to and leave Manchester United, as if they have become two players.


    This spiritual temperament will make the players who play for Manchester United, single out to observe and analyze, will feel that this player is very ordinary, as long as it is ordinary, as long as it is a big man, it will turn around in the transfer market. I dare not say that I can buy a dozen, at least. Three or five is not a problem, but it is the combination of multiple ordinary players who put on the Red Devils jersey and show the power of the team, which has a qualitative leap and improvement.


    For example, Park Ji-sung, introduced this summer, said that if he is more powerful and puts on other giants, most of them are definitely not interested, but at Manchester United, he can not only have a place, but also make a significant contribution to the team.


    Aldrich did not possess this kind of magic, and he wanted to, but after many years, he felt that Millwall could not shape this spirit. It can be said that Millwall worked hard, brave, tough, and never flinched, but he really wanted to rise When a second-rate player comes to the battlefield to polish for a period of time, he can play the role of a first-class player in the team.


    This may be closely related to the club''s heritage, era background, team traditions and so on.


    This may be why Ferguson¡¯s set of tactics does not look great, but it can keep this team from being underestimated in Europe. It has already improved the team¡¯s combat capabilities. If you want to pursue unique technical tactics, Law, this may collapse the team.


    Because anyone who can walk ahead of others on the extreme road and lead the trend of the times has very strict requirements on the composition of the team lineup.


    After fighting with Aldridge for so many years, Ferguson naturally summed up the experience.


    Can''t really compete with Aldridge in tactical confrontation.


    That will only gradually become a disadvantage in the change of competition, because the characteristics of Millwall players are too rich, speaking of flexibility and changeability, Millwall is the world¡¯s first, fighting with them, they can not be in the areas they are good at. The length of internal strife.


    Secondly, they cannot compete with Millwall. Manchester United¡¯s offensive advancement speed has always been a magic weapon for their defeat. However, in the rapid round-trip and sawing each other¡¯s impact, Manchester United¡¯s success rate always seems to be inferior to Millwall, because of Millwall¡¯s offense. The advancing speed is also very fast, and it looks faster than Manchester United!


    With enough space to impact each other, Manchester United will lose to Millwall in terms of sustainability and success rate.


    Ferguson, who stood on the sidelines, did not know whether he would be able to bring Manchester United back to the throne of the Premier League and even the European king in his lifetime, because he was not sure whether he could successfully reach the finish line on the road of restraining Millwall.


    But he still has an ambition to defeat his opponent and return to the throne.


    Manchester United, which ushered in the new boss, can be said to be still in an era in the past, because the Glazer family has no impact on the team¡¯s competitive affairs except for the money, and Ferguson still only covers it. day.


    In today''s confrontation, Manchester United played a game that warned Audridge.


    Manchester United''s progress, mainly reflected in the field against Millwall, they are more calm, stable ball control in the midfield and backcourt, will not rush to attack, especially when changing from defense to offense, they will not blindly pursue fast as before Instead, it will ensure the success rate of the offense. Only when the teammates absolutely run out of time and can continue the offense, will the forward straight pass be sent from the backcourt.


    Millwall''s first element in defense is anti-robbing!


    Crazy anti-robbing!


    In the past, most teams will be panicked by them!


    Even Manchester United is no exception. The backcourt players pass the ball in a panic when they are counter-robbed. It may not make mistakes at that time, but the pass selection may not be the best. Especially, the pass line may be in the reverse. Millwall was prejudged to be correct in advance and was in the middle!


    Thus curbing the opponent''s offensive.


    Aldridge''s vigilance is here, Manchester United is smart, at least the first of their opponents to make the most correct changes.


    Stable ball control in the midfield and backcourt, the defender line must not panic, if Millwall dares to rush up and grab, they don¡¯t mind pulling the defender line back, so that Millwall¡¯s frontcourt players are embarrassed and come forward , The distance between the three lines will be disconnected, the pressure in the front field will be too deep, and the space will be expanded virtually. Then, the opponent will launch a forward speed shock, and the efficiency will be higher!


    Manchester United has targeted this attack and achieved results in the early stages of the game.


    Ronaldo, Henry, and Messi rushed too forward in the anti-robbing.


    Henry is a team player, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are the front line of the defender.


    But they didn''t notice that Manchester United''s defender line retreated while holding the ball, waiting for them to move forward, and then suddenly hit a wave of fast breaks when the midfield space became larger!


    Keene, Scholes, Giggs, Rooney, Fanny, Joaquin and six people made a series of fast and effective passes from near the middle circle, and finally Fanny picked up Giggs from the restricted area and took a small angle. Volley shot.


    Old Trafford was boiled with cheers.


    There was no smile on Ferguson''s face, but applause was common.


    He knew that this was just a new beginning.


    A prologue to his war with Aldridge.

 Chapter 1116： Superstar Road

    "Millwall''s poor record seems to be continuing, they are the first to drop the ball! This situation makes people wonder why, it seems that they are not slack, lack of fighting spirit, it is easier to make people feel that Manchester United is suddenly Become stronger!"


    "The league''s bad record in August and the loss of the community shield are all excusable. We can say that Millwall wants to fight on multiple lines. The team''s summer preparations have not been the best. Wait, Sir Hall. The mouth says that Millwall is getting better. We haven''t seen this for the time being. I think they are beginning to have signs of anxiety. It seems that they do not put Manchester United in their eyes and are overwhelming!"


    Aldridge looked dignified on the sidelines of Old Trafford.


    The breeze passed by, making him sigh: times have changed.


    Millwall has always been a benchmark for technological and tactical innovation in Europe. All teams are studying them, and in the past era, they have been constantly innovating.


    Perhaps their players are still getting stronger, but if you want to rule with a set of excellent techniques and tactics for more than 3 years, this is simply a fool''s dream.


    In terms of the team''s anti-robbing tactics, they used to be able to oppress the audience wildly, causing their opponents to lose their size and be robbed and dizzy.


    When the opponent once, twice, three times, more times, and in the preparation for the ideological preventive shots, knowing Millwall will do this, Millwall face the game like this, the power efficiency will become more and more low.


    Playing Manchester United today, it can be said that this defensive tactic of full-field oppression has become a weakness that opponents can use!


    Advantages have turned into disadvantages!


    This is also the fundamental reason why Aldridge and Ferguson play against each other, and it deserves his attention, rather than treating Ferguson as a passerby.


    At this point, recalling last season, Aldridge should be alert. The tactical master Benitez, his old friend taught him, but then Millwall was in full swing, and Liverpool played Mill in the same way. Wall, the gap in hard power, did not let the situation turn into a hit.


    Today, Millwall is not at his best, and Manchester United has the advantage of both home and momentum. The feedback from the situation tells Audridge a clear signal: it must be changed!


    This change is not to throw the defensive tactics of oppression and anti-robbery into the trash, but to make detailed changes, stereotypes, remodeling, and sublimation.


    It''s like people who don''t understand football say that the changes in football tactics over the past 100 years have always been outrageously slow. Little by little changes seem to have no change at all.


    This is the typical layman''s point of view.


    Just as Aldridge put Pirlo a midfielder in the lower back position, it looks like a very small change, even the formation will not change, but this has created a new pattern in football, now Many teams use 4231 to organize the core retreat, which is almost the general trend, making most teams rush.


    Anti-robbing must not be discarded.


    However, they must not take full-field oppression during the confrontation of the strong team, and try to use crazy rush to make the opponent collapse.


    That is not realistic anymore.


    However, Aldrich was prepared before, or he had been waiting for this day long ago.


    Gesturing the players on the court, Millwall reduced the amount of oppression and counter-robbing in the frontcourt. The team''s anti-robbing center of gravity during defense will be placed in the midfield. This change has been used in many on-the-spot commands in the past. It has appeared, but starting today, this will be finalized and become the main strategy of Millwall''s defense.


    Manchester United scored a goal, and Millwall launched a strong attack after falling behind.


    Such a pinnacle battle in the hearts of Manchester United players, they naturally go all out, Scholes and Keane are very well protected in the midfield, Henry is difficult to get a chance under strict marking.


    In the front waistline, Villa is actually a shadow striker, rushing, can''t rush, and forward the ball, he really lacks some magic pass.


    Cristiano Ronaldo is still a good Cristiano Ronaldo, but Aldridge suddenly discovered something in this game today.


    Ronaldo, when will it break out?


    He looks very stable. Since he has stabilized his main force last season, he has been very stable. To a certain extent, he feels "mediocre"!


    This is relatively speaking. If Glenchard played Ronaldo at the age of Cristiano Ronaldo, then it is absolutely impossible for him to leave Millwall.


    However, for Ronaldo, he should perform better. For genius, if he can''t improve every day, it is equivalent to a decline!


    After Aldridge made defensive changes, Manchester United''s desire to catch Millwall to counterattack was broken.


    In the 20th minute of the game, Aldridge gestured to the midfielder to shift his offensive focus!


    When Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo and Villa did not play a particularly effective threat in the frontcourt, two things were explained. First, Manchester United''s defense was very successful. Second, Manchester United must have spent a lot of energy to mark them!


    Purely one-on-one, on the counter defense, the three offensive players of Millwall dare not finish talking about the Manchester United defensive players, but the success rate should be more than 50%.


    However, the success rate has not reached this number, because Manchester United uses more defensive personnel, assisted defense, sandwich defense, to limit Millwall, these key threats offensive players.


    Then, relatively, the energy that can be paid for the marking of Millwall''s secondary threat is weakened.


    In the 24th minute, Alonso sent a diagonal pass from the midfield. The ball crossed Manchester United''s backline diagonally and rolled to the right side of the penalty area.


    O''Shea wanted to rush up to make a big goal, but he saw someone faster than him, and he was the first to touch the ball, right in front of him!


    It was a small player with a short head, and his shape seemed to be thin. O''Shea was a little overwhelmed. The opponent was too flexible. While touching the ball, it seemed that there was no pause.


    Oche even felt that if he extended his hand to foul, it would be a crime!


    Messi looks too young!


    He followed Aldridge''s advice and managed a refreshing short hair, making him look more like a middle school student, full of sunshine, rather than a hot-blooded boy on the court.


    After Messi passed by Oshe, he directly entered the penalty area. Sylvester rushed to defend for the first time. Just before he and Messi were about to contact, Messi dexterously put the ball inside with his left foot. , He dodged Silvester to intercept his foot in place, at that moment, Silvester only noticed a flower in front of him, and did not know how the other party did it!


    With a sudden stop and a change of direction at high speed, Messi seems not to be affected by physical inertia, and his superiority is also not fancy, simply like the basic skills in textbooks!


    However, he is gone!


    At this point, the goal was wide open and Messi had only Van der Sar in front of him.


    Ferdinand stared at Henry closely. He did not expect that both O''Shea and Sylvester were consecutively broken by Messi in a short time. If they wanted to save the drive, it was too late!


    In the face of Van der Sar, everyone is expecting Messi to make a heavy shot, but Messi does not seem to swing his leg to shoot. In the process of dribbling, he gently pushes the ball forward and the ball is accurate. The ground rolled towards the inside of the far post of the goal, a dead end.


    Van der Sar, nothing happens!


    He was shaken!


    He was so focused, so focused on the moment he was waiting for Messi¡¯s shooting action to accurately predict the result. As a result, he only reacted when the ball rolled halfway to the goal. At that time, he also knew that he could not touch even if he saved Arriving at the ball, standing directly on the spot and disarming!


    "Goal! Millwall equalized the score! The goalkeeper was teenager Messi! The goal was scored entirely by his personal ability, but we still have to praise Alonso''s overall view, his direct pass The ball passed the ball precisely to Mesine''s line. Messi accelerated through the ball and broke through O''Shea, then changed the direction and passed Silvester in the penalty area, finally pushed the ball calmly Shot into the corner of the goal and completely defeated Van der Sar!"


    Old Trafford fell into silence.


    Damn Millwall, even in a bad state, can always cause accidents!


    Ferguson is still expressionless.


    In fact, he did not know how to express his inner frustration.


    Messi is not an unknown soldier.


    Perhaps for the world, Messi''s name is still a little strange.


    However, in the Premier League coaching circle, some years ago someone was talking about Millwall having a small genius named Messi.


    The Millwall started to set new records all the way from the U15 echelon, swept the honors of the youth team, and even won the biggest star of the European Club Youth Champions League.


    Messi is a coach that many coaches want to dig up to become the core of the team''s future.


    Geniuses at the intersection of Fleet Street are bargains. As long as cats and dogs can play football, they can be boasted as geniuses.


    However, in the coaching circle, Messi is a genuine genius. This evaluation is very pertinent, because watching him playing football, even watching the video, can clearly determine that Messi''s ability is absolutely superior to his peers. of.


    Messi scored.


    The first time he scored at Old Trafford and the first time he faced a giant, his celebration seemed very restrained and his smiles all looked very shy.


    He was not Henry, the man with the halo of Europe¡¯s first **** on his head.


    He is not Ronaldo. He has drove a famous car and lived in a mansion. He has attracted the attention of a new generation of leaders of the Portuguese national team.


    He is just Messi, a little famous, but does not have any substantial achievements in honor of Messi.


    As he grows, he cherishes every opportunity and tries his best to allow himself to face what is happening now.


    In Luyinchang, becoming a superstar is actually a process of accumulating honor.


    Personal honor, team honor.


    I only took it once, not enough to become a superstar.


    Once, twice, three times, more times, in the process of continuous accumulation, we can embark on the road of superstars.


    Stepping on the turf of Old Trafford, Messi, who was hugged by Henry, pointed to the sky. He was doing a ceremony of gratitude. His bright eyes shone with the light of the yearning superstar.

 Chapter 1117： Dont counsel, just do it!

    Manchester United veteran Keane is furious about the team''s lost ball!


    He was scolded directly in the stadium!


    Spill the dog **** heads of Osher and Sylvester!


    He believes that these two people were turned around by the dizziness of a child, as if shameful! Even Van der Sar was not spared, bluntly saying that Van der Sar was too old to make a save!


    Of course, at this moment, Keane doesn''t think the club''s summer introduction of Van der Sar is a good deal.


    Just like the view on Fleet Street: Manchester United is going backwards!


    Everyone buys the future, and buys the stars of the year.


    The results of it?


    Manchester United bought a veteran goalkeeper who is 35 years old!


    This is not backwards, what is it?


    In the past two years, everyone first got used to Keane''s criticism, but now they are a little impatient.


    Just because of the seniority and fierceness of the Keane team, who dared to challenge this iron man, there is almost no presence in Manchester United.


    Even Ferguson couldn''t bear the meritorious captain.


    But Keane''s criticism still has a certain effect.


    Not daring to cross with Keen, then a wicked fire in my heart turned into impulse and spread on the opponent.


    After Messi¡¯s threats emerged, Manchester United naturally increased their attention to Messi.


    Messi also has some minor problems with young people. He just scored a goal, and he wanted to perform more, causing Millwall to die several times in his offense.


    Manchester United before the end of the first half, Joaquin made a two-on-one match with Scholes on the right side and then made a bottom pass. The pass was not to find Fanny in front of the goal, but to the inverted triangle. In the top of the arc, Rooney followed a volley shot and hit the ball into Millwall''s goal.


    The ball shot is very beautiful, it can be called the world wave.


    Countless Red Devils fans in the old Trafford stand dreamed back in the past. The once handsome No. 7 Red Devils passed the midway with the moon scimitar countless times. There were gods in front and heavy gunners in the back. One set, playing like a wind and water.


    Now, it has become the cooperation of Joaquin and Rooney. This is more like a heritage, a continuation of the past tradition, which belongs to Ferguson''s brand of the Red Devils. As long as he is in power for a day, he will not be shaken.


    At halftime, Aldridge made precise deployment adjustments for the second half.


    He has long been indifferent to the team''s backwardness, not lacking a sense of honor, but that he is rarely influenced by external factors to calm his mind.


    Manchester United''s performance today is good, exceeding his expectations.


    Especially on the defensive end, the restrictions on Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo and Villa were very successful, even if sometimes the use of despicable logging tactics appeared, but at least they succeeded.


    And here is Old Trafford. How can Millwall be influential in the Premier League? He can¡¯t hope that the referee will ¡°care¡± them while fighting at Old Trafford.


    This "care" does not mean to let the referee blow the whistle!


    It is the potential impact of the scale of punishment on whom is beneficial.


    The referee wants a bowl of water.


    It''s impossible for the same foul action. Manchester United''s players fouled. If they didn''t play, Millwall fouled, but the foul was awarded and a yellow card was given. That is a whistle.


    Only on the scale, it is more beneficial to Manchester United.


    Just like in the Lion King Stadium, the referee¡¯s whistle is strict, and the emphasis is on protecting a technical team such as Millwall, so that the opponent does not dare to foul on a large scale. In Old Trafford, the whistle is loose, and the foul is used more often. Tactical Manchester United, Manchester United who make more use of physical confrontation to gain an advantage will naturally have more advantages.


    So in the second half, Millwall''s frontline players have completely become a guise for the players who plug in after the midfield and backcourt.


    In the 60th minute, Henry passed the ball back to Villa on the front line. Villa took a kick in the middle of Scholes and Keane. The ball rolled behind Keane and Alon followed up. Cable hit a heavy shot outside the penalty area and the ball went straight to the upper left corner of the goal!


    Millwall also gave Manchester United a world wave!


    "The battle of the giants is brilliant! 2:2, will this be another goal fight?"


    Five minutes later, Millwall made a substitution, two at a time.


    Messi and Villa were both replaced, Ronaldinho and Kaka debut.


    Ferguson also immediately replaced, replaced Park Jin-sung with stronger physical strength and confrontation, and strengthened Ronaldinho''s defense on the side.


    Substitution is like changing a knife!


    Ronaldinho debuts, just like the Dragon Slayer!


    The entire Manchester United team is a little nervous.


    It is particularly obvious that when Ronaldo played the left winger, Manchester United''s local defensive strength was 2 or 3 people.


    And Ronaldinho came to play on this side, after controlling the ball, all people in all directions!


    Park Ji-sung, Rooney, Scholes, Gary Neville!


    As if the siege was to trap Ronaldinho in place!


    Ronaldinho, who just returned from South America, actually had a dizzy head, because after the national team disbanded, he did not return to the club for the first time, but secretly spent a lot of money in the nightclub.


    But playing at this time, he played the spirit of 120 points.


    Aldrich''s task to him is not heavy!


    Ronaldinho is a guise!


    It is the essence of Millwall''s tactics that strikes the west.


    Ronaldinho only needs to control the ball steadily, control the rhythm of the frontcourt, and occasionally threaten his opponent with a breakthrough.


    Unfortunately, Park Ji-sung became a victim.


    In a 75-minute fight, Park Ji-sung was passed by Ronaldinho twice!


    He rushed from behind to steal, Ronaldinho''s ball was pulled horizontally, making him empty, and when he rushed again, Ronaldinho accelerated forward and threw him away again.


    When he rushed over for the third time, Ronaldinho pulled the ball back and then passed the ball.


    Park Ji-sung was a little dizzy, especially when he wanted to take a breath, the ball returned to Ronaldinho''s feet. At this time, Ronaldinho started again, and Park San Lung only really understood that the gap between him and Ronaldinho was not physically capable at all. Leveled!


    People are playing him like a monkey!


    And it was very successful.


    Manchester United''s attempt to retreat annoyed Keane again, the tough guy roared to his teammates on the court!


    "This is Old Trafford. You **** are wearing Manchester United jerseys! What other ball do you play? Go home and drink milk!"


    I have to say that Millwall is completely anti-guest in the second half.


    Even if they are not in the best state, but they have the strength to suppress Manchester United at Old Trafford, so that Manchester United dare not act rashly.


    Especially after Ronaldinho''s debut, the effect is more obvious.


    Because of Manchester United¡¯s counterattack, the opening game was very successful. In the second half, they did not play a strange effect. As they valued Messi¡¯s existence, and thus restricted Messi, Millwall also ate a long and a wisdom, a pit , Fell twice? That won''t happen to the mad lion.


    Keane called on the team to show ambition at home, don''t counsel, just do it with the opponent!


    His teammates felt innocent!


    Don¡¯t **** say it¡¯s only you who is Manchester United!


    Don''t wantonly trample on our determination to defend our honor!


    Anyway, we have to see who is opposite, okay? Ok?


    That''s Millwall on Fuck Day!


    That is the Millwall who is torn apart by this crazy lion into the meat in your mouth!


    But Keane said so plainly, if the teammates don''t rush anymore, the face can''t hold on!


    So, Manchester United rushed!


    Scholes sent a direct pass to Park Ji-sung in the midfield. Park San Lung had just joined Manchester United. His rhythm was not close. He failed to receive the ball, but was intercepted by Ram in advance.


    After Ram steals, he directs a counterattack. A diagonal pass passes the ball behind Scholes. Most Manchester United players see Ronaldinho for the first time and are alert to Ronaldinho''s running position.


    However, Ronaldinho was running slowly on the sidewalk.


    This was indeed what he did intentionally, and it was also Aldridge asking him to do so.


    According to the situation of Manchester United today, if Ronaldinho quickly starts, runs, and waits for his teammates to pass the ball, maybe he will be wildly felled by his opponent when he receives the ball!


    The threat of ball possession that he created after his debut has well contained Manchester United''s attention.


    And when Millwall really came to fight back, Ronaldinho was not the main passing point.


    Everyone else can do it in the frontcourt. Ronaldinho is not allowed. As long as Ronaldinho runs, he can attract at least two players to move in the past to block his route. This is enough.


    At this moment, Kaka ran forward in the middle, touched the ball behind Scholes, and hurried forward!


    Keane, who let his teammates attack for Manchester United, is really old!


    He was directly broken by Kaka in the middle!


    When Kaka passed by quickly, he had no chance of fouling!


    When Kaka brought the ball to the defender line, he made a two-on-one cooperation with Henry. Henry comfortably returned the ball to Kaka in front of Ferdinand, and Kaka once again jumped up the speed when he touched the ball, directly from the west. Forcibly overtake around Elvis!


    After scoring a goal, Kaka''s unreasonable volley pierced through Vandersad''s ten fingers!


    Van der Sar sighed in the sky. When he played for Fulham, he had already learned Millwall''s terrifying offensive firepower.


    But most of the power at that time was Henry, Ronaldinho, Nedved and others.


    Today, he thought that relying on Manchester United''s defensive ability can reduce Henry, Ronaldinho''s shots.


    That''s right, their shots have indeed decreased.


    But Van der Sar still lost the third ball.


    Messi, Alonso, Kaka.


    Van der Sar never thought that the three players who were ranked lower in the threat list would break through the ten fingers, as if they were dismounted, and they seemed to be a mockery of fate.


    In front of Millwall, don''t think that there will be a strong guarantee, useless!


    Keane stopped talking and fell into silence, like the silence of countless Red Devils fans in the stands.


    "2:3! Millwall reversed the score! With 7 minutes left in the game, Millwall took the lead! Will this be the iconic game for Millwall''s recovery? At least I saw Kaka taking the ball from the midfield to the Tigers down the hill. After the performance of the Manchester United defense is torn apart, the fans of the Lions should be excited!"


    Ferguson''s face was green on the sidelines. He was extremely angry that Keane gave orders on the court casually and exerted an incorrect influence on his teammates.

 Chapter 1118： The end of the villain

    Kaka''s goal detonated the passion of the away team fans. They shouted frantically at Old Trafford to celebrate and sang songs happily to mock Manchester United.


    Manchester United has become an American money-making tool!


    What about Manchester United''s four-game winning streak?


    At home, we still can''t beat our crazy lion!


    Ferguson glanced at Millwall''s bench. Subconsciously, his eyes turned around Larson and Nedved.


    Withdrawing his eyes and then throwing himself into the court, when he saw Keane, how could he restrain himself suddenly, he couldn''t restrain an angry emotion!


    Keane has criticized teammates for a long time. He used to look like a captain¡¯s duty and high demands on his teammates. Now, it becomes rude!


    Even the power range is exceeded, even if he is the captain, sometimes he needs to shut his mouth!


    Manchester United was suppressed by Millwall in the second half at home, what''s wrong?


    In Ferguson''s view, this is nothing new.


    Things on the football field are not what you want.


    That''s right, Manchester United are at a disadvantage in the Old Trafford scene. We need to defend the dignity of the Red Devils and we need to show courage!


    However, is it really okay to rush out and kill like this?


    Well, reality teaches life.


    Kaka''s goal made Manchester United seem unable to get a draw.


    It was not Ferguson who softened and surrendered.


    But he is waiting for the opportunity to play against Millwall, the timing is very important, patience is more important!


    Can''t bear this suppressed pressure!


    Don''t imagine that you can win!


    There is no complete and effective way to fight Millwall, and vows must be made according to the situation.


    Originally in Ferguson''s expectation, Millwall had been attacking for a long time in the second half. At the end of the game, the spirit was tense for a long time, and there must be a time for change.


    Either at the last moment, Millwall becomes more aggressive for a win, then Manchester United''s targeted post-control will have a higher winning rate!


    Either in the final stage, Millwall withdrew the result of 2:2 in the guest house, and took away a point from Old Trafford, is there any regret?


    Then Manchester United took back the initiative in the final stage and attacked with all his strength. Millwall has already chosen to withdraw. Finally, he wants to attack, and he may have more than enough power. Manchester United will be invincible no matter whether the final attack can succeed or not. !


    it''s good now.


    The **** score became 2:3, Manchester United fell behind!


    At home, you have to rush out!


    The game is not over yet, Millwall reversed the score, Aldridge did not have a strong sense of accomplishment, because Manchester United seems to have made a mistake and gave Millwall a chance. In fact, he is also waiting for Manchester United''s posture to change, after all, here It was Old Trafford. He played Kaka and Ronaldinho. Kaka was the acceleration point for the frontcourt advance when there was room. The goal just now was vividly reflected.


    Ronaldinho, in addition to pinning opponents in the early stages of the game, is also at the last minute bursting into opponents by surprise.


    In any case, the change in scores will benefit Millwall.


    Aldridge had no distractions, and played the last card. Schneider came on to replace Ramos, who had defensive worries, and officially ended.


    Millwall started to spend time by controlling the ball on the court.


    Ferguson is difficult to ride a tiger, and it is necessary for the Manchester United team to attack, and it will be crazy to fight back!


    In the 88th minute, Ronaldinho''s midfield oblique long pass found Ronaldo anti-offside.


    Cristiano Ronaldo took the ball inwards and shot from the penalty area. Van der Sar was scored three goals. This time he played a brave shot. Not only did he score a shot within the range of Cristiano Ronaldo''s goal, but also his hands were steady and the ball was received locally In arms.


    The Manchester United formation was pushed up.


    They did not dare to play too impatiently, fearing that they would lose the ball.


    However, Millwall''s overall defense is very stable, and there is no exposure to the opponent in the dangerous zone in front of the door.


    Scholes continued to pass in the periphery to find free time, but he could not find a suitable offensive line. Millwall''s team participated in the defense, which seemed to have completely eliminated Manchester United''s hope of equalizing the score at the last moment.


    The injury stoppage time is only 2 minutes. In addition to scoring in the second half, there are not many other events that delay the game.


    Seeing the passage of time, the game was about to end, Scholes could not care so much, he took a long shot directly from the periphery forty yards from the goal!


    The volley of this foot half a meter from the ground went straight to the goal from the crack.


    Aldridge was at first tense, fearing that the ball would refract halfway and shake the goalkeeper. He didn''t relax until the ball crossed the back line.


    Because the ball was shot too positive!


    Bout does not need to move, it is simply a straight line between Scholes and Bout.


    However, something happened that surprised everyone in Millwall.


    Butt wanted to lean forward and hug the ball in his arms. This half-meter high shot from the ground, Butt did not hold the ball with his hands. It seems that his hands slowed down in rhythm and became The ball bounced in his arms and rolled out again, right in front of him!


    Bout immediately ran forward two steps immediately, intending to pounce forward to hug the ball, but someone rushed out to poke the ball into the goal!


    King of the small penalty area, opportunistic striker, Van Nistelrooy!


    Millwall defenders were stunned.


    They all think that Bout can hold the ball firmly, even if it can''t, it can always be released?


    Unexpectedly, he saved his hands!


    Butt looked down on the ground and looked up. His mistakes caused Millwall to win and flew!


    Neal came over to comfort him for the first time.


    Van Nistelrooy frantically ran to the corner to celebrate after scoring. Manchester United players were very excited about this unexpected skyfall. They quickly flocked to Fanni to celebrate the equalization of the score at the last minute!


    "Gosh, gosh, Scholes shot from a very positive angle, but got Bout''s save to take it off. Then, Van Nistelrooy took the opportunity and sent the ball into Millwall''s Inside the gate! 3:3, 3:3, Millwall''s three unbeatable league matches continue! Seeing Bout''s low-level mistakes, we should understand what Sir Hall said about Millwall''s absence. However, looking at the expression of Sir Hall on the sidelines, he did not expect that the game would have such a turning point at the last moment."


    At this time, Aldridge was full of contradictions.


    He didn''t want to be a cruel coach.


    But, Bout, Bout, can''t play me like this!


    For goalkeepers, level is level, and mistakes are mistakes.


    If Bout''s level is low and he can''t catch the ball, no one will accuse it of losing it. At this level, it''s just normal play.


    But according to his state for a long time before, such a low-level mistake should not occur!


    Save and let go!


    If such mistakes occur frequently for a long time, it means that his competitive level has dropped!


    It can be separated by three and five, with an average of three months, so that people have the urge to fall into a crazy state.


    This is also one of the most tricky parts of the goalkeeper''s position.


    Like Ferguson, he has endured the butter of Bartz for three full years!


    I couldn¡¯t stand it anymore, so I made up my mind to change the goalkeeper and changed at least two goalkeepers. This is where I found Van der Sar now. If Ferguson is so deep in his heart, it must be false. Goalkeeper Howard also vowed to be full of confidence.


    Changing a goalkeeper is similar to gambling, and no one knows how effective it is, especially for giants.


    A mistake, which may be lost, is not just a game, but a championship, the whole team''s efforts for a season!


    Bout without low-level mistakes, absolutely stable Bout, even if the strength is indeed not world-class, Millwall can accept it!


    But if there is a hidden danger of low-level mistakes, Millwall, such a super giant, will inevitably be unacceptable!


    While Manchester United players were frantically celebrating, Keane stood still and his mouth outlined a sneer.


    In his eyes, those teammates who celebrated the goal are simply ignorant!


    What is there to celebrate?


    Millwall reopened the ball, Ronaldinho tried to turn the tide and scored a winning goal with his own strength. As a result, he was grabbed by many people and failed to rush to Manchester United''s penalty area. He attacked and died on the periphery. The referee blew the whole game. The whistle at the end of the game.


    Aldrich sorted out his emotions, and couldn''t complain much about Butt.


    So far, I can only hold a positive and optimistic attitude. After all, the summer transfer window has been closed. In January next year, who is the best goalkeeper in the world, who will choose to transfer?


    This season still depends on Bout, begging God to worship Buddha, he should not have low-level mistakes.


    After all, this season is his twelfth year of "service" at Millwall!


    Ferguson''s face became normal, he shook hands with Aldridge, and sighed in tacit agreement with each other. After the two sighed, they looked at each other strangely. Ferguson shook his head slightly, Aldridge shrugged and moved his mouth. Hard to read!


    Not only Bout, in this game, Aldridge also found other problems waiting for him to solve, with great anxiety.


    In an interview after the game, Keane publicly accused his teammates.


    He rightfully sneered at the camera and said: "Some players are not worthy of playing for Manchester United. What happened at the last minute of the game is strange. I am not referring to the opponent''s mistake, but we scored the equalizer goal, the game There is no end, but we have players excited to celebrate as if they won the championship, I don¡¯t know what they are celebrating! We just tied the defending champion Millwall, at our home, Old Trafford! If Manchester United It¡¯s this kind of mentality proud of equalizing opponents, then our team will be nothing special, and it can even be said to be a scumbag!"


    Keane''s criticism of his teammates caused an uproar!


    But Ferguson still intends to give Keane a chance in his old relationship. However, the same thing happened in Anfield a week later. Manchester United and Liverpool drew. Keen''s big mouth even criticized Ferguson this time!


    So, a battle with Liverpool became Keene''s last game on behalf of Manchester United.


    He must immediately disappear at Manchester United to avoid affecting the atmosphere in the team. Many teammates no longer want to see this tough guy captain who once represented the spirit of the Red Devils!


    As a result, he was quickly leased and left, and at the end of the year, Manchester United and Keane were terminated!


    In the Ferguson era, the iconic generation of the Red Devils'' midfield tough guy came to an end.

 Chapter 1119： G14

    In the fifth round of the Premier League in the new season, Millwall drew with Manchester United at Old Trafford. This strong dialogue focus battle is the first match in this round, because both teams will play in Europe in the middle of the week.


    In a later game, Chelsea won Sunderland at Stamford Bridge with 2-0 pawns.


    In the stands of Stamford Bridge, the Blues fans happily celebrated and screamed to vent.


    As if declaring war on the mad lion of East London!


    Mourinho has become very low-key this season.


    The outside world must be settled first. Chelsea seems to the outside world to be a strong man, strong and strong, and the biggest challenger to the throne.


    But Mourinho, as the coach, understands the hidden dangers of the team.


    He really didn''t know how to arrange Shevchenko and Barak.


    Maybe Barak is better.


    In most games, Chelsea can make the muscle midfield more powerful, and Barak can replace Makelele or Essien.


    But on the front line, Shevchenko was very embarrassed.


    At this time, although Drogba is already known as World of Warcraft, he is not an extremely efficient scoring striker. In Chelsea''s tactical system, he also contributes mostly to the role of a bridgehead.


    In other words, Shevchenko and Drogba are different types of players and are not suitable candidates for Mourinho''s ideal tactical design.


    However, at the beginning of the season, Shevchenko had just arrived as a rookie. Mourinho put Shevchenko on the bench, let him appear in the garbage time to find a feeling, debut to show comfort, this can make People accept, Shevchenko can accept, and fans also agree.


    But I don''t know how it will develop in the future.


    Chelsea fans have a cause of catharsis in the stands.


    The Blues led by Mourinho seemed to be more stable and powerful in the second year. While the team was steadily improving, the Millwall league was unfavorable and gave the Blues enough room for fantasy.


    Standings.


    Manchester United and Millwall shook hands and benefited Chelsea fishermen.


    Not only did Manchester United break away by 2 points.


    Even the defending champion Millwall was thrown away by 9 points!


    Abu is very satisfied with the team''s situation today.


    He desperately wants to see the team sweep across Europe this season!


    In the past two years, his hostile actions against Millwall have made the "hate" emotions between the two intolerant.


    In addition to Millwall''s suppression of Chelsea in the record, in addition, in the identity symbol that Abu hopes that Chelsea will be recognized by Europe and even the world, Millwall has become Chelsea''s biggest obstruction!


    Abu wants to bring Chelsea to G14!


    Ken Yang was dug that year, and there are such factors.


    You should know that when Kenyon worked at Manchester United, he has always been the representative of Manchester United attending the G14 summit four times a year. He has long sleeves and good dancing inside the G14.


    However, as Kenyon leaves Manchester United, this network of relations will be weakened to a certain extent.


    In the first two G14 summits in 2005, Millwall represented Carter as Chelsea''s firm boycotter in these two closed meetings, led by him, and received most of the support of G14 members.


    In addition to Millwall itself having allies within the G14, secondly, there is a key factor that Millwall can absolutely veto Chelsea joining the G14!


    G14 is considering expanding the military, but whether the applicant can enter G14 requires all members to vote. However, if there are more than 3 votes against, then the applicant cannot be passed!


    However, if most of the members of the G14 agree with Chelsea to join, and only the minority led by Millwall opposes it, this may cause Millwall to fall into a situation of betrayal.


    Because the core interests of this organization are inviolable, if Chelsea¡¯s participation is good for everyone, it can make the G14 stronger and resist external forces, rather than pressing a strong ally into the arms of the opponent, then, For the benefit, private grudges should be ignored!


    Fortunately, from this standpoint of core interests, Carter lobbied internal members to successfully create an atmosphere of "fear" and "anger" in Chelsea.


    Fear is Chelsea''s wealth.


    The core interests of G14 are the interests of giants, but the second tier is naturally their own interests.


    Will Chelsea replace it? Will it shake the status of traditional giants in Europe and even the world?


    To suppress Chelsea, not only is Millwall''s wish, but also many clubs with ambitions in Europe hope to achieve, they are afraid of the speed of Chelsea''s growth.


    Previously, the growth of the club was gradual, and it was completed in one generation, two generations, or even more people and more time.


    Now, Chelsea''s growth has shown that in this era, Jin Yuan can become a strong catalyst for the growth of the club.


    Anger stems from Chelsea''s "strong buy and strong sell" in the transfer market, which subverts the tradition. They can give players the highest salary in the world and can make irresistible offers.


    Just like AC Milan, it is impossible to refuse Chelsea''s money temptation, but after selling out, it will still be angry that Chelsea is fooling!


    Perhaps Chelsea did not directly dig out many of the star players from the G14 team.


    But the giants are a region, and there is a green world around the top of the food chain.


    The foundation on which the giants depend for survival also includes the crushing and resource acquisition of the top teams.


    Like a star trained by a first-class team, the giants have followed for a long time and are ready to start.


    Chelsea killed halfway!


    Do you fight for money with Chelsea?


    Isn''t this driving up costs?


    The 10 million people who could get it, Chelsea broke up and became 20 million, which may not be won. How can the giants be happy?


    Giants are not equal to generosity.


    Chelsea attacked from all sides in the first year of Abu''s entry into the net and cast a full net. Even if no one could buy it, it also disrupted the market virtually, which made G14 internally very dissatisfied with Chelsea.


    If Chelsea enters the G14, Chelsea will be rightfully recognized, and in the future, it will be more unfavorable for the interests of these giants.


    Abu knows that according to Chelsea''s practice of making enemies on all sides in Europe in the past two years, it is difficult for Chelsea to join the G14 in accordance with the regular procedures. Because Chelsea is alien, it has violated the interests of many European giants in the past two years!


    You must know that Millwall could become one of the founders of the G14. Looking back at that period of history, it is inevitably a bit of a meaning of "losing power and humiliating the country"!


    Because Millwall had been unable to raise his head in front of the giants before becoming a member of G14!


    Let anyone slaughter!


    For many years, the main players have been sold to the giants to form a good club friendship!


    And in that situation, it is enough to make the European giants look at the record, which is eligible to sit on par with them.


    At that time, most giants believed that Millwall would become the follower of G14.


    Through the opportunity to win over Millwall, let Millwall become a "talent base" for the giants.


    After all, in 1998, Millwall sold the main force of the half team. Everyone thinks that Millwall''s strength will drop sharply, and it is impossible to threaten whose status.


    Unexpectedly, Millwall''s success was not short-lived.


    To this day, Millwall is about to become the internal leader of G14!


    This change is also the progress that Carter has mainly achieved after taking office!


    In the past, Aldridge was only interested in the identity of the G14 and did not care about the power of the G14.


    Because in his memory, G14 was finally disbanded, it was a compromise with UEFA!


    So, what is the point of spending energy here?


    However, Carter hopes that Millwall can dominate the G14. After all, the G14 is the representative of the "European elite". In fact, it has a strong influence. The changes in European football almost all have the will of the G14.


    Millwall''s detached record and strong ability to absorb gold. After the economic crisis and the golden dollar era after the football development bubble burst, many members of the G14 were willing to host Millwall for the overall situation. To put it bluntly, I hope to talk to Millwall Work together and make big money!


    Millwall used to play commercial games with Inter Milan, Ajax and other clubs in the past, and the commercial returns recovered were considerable. However, Millwall went out for a turn and could absorb "half billion", which is not a cooperative contract. The long-term benefits brought by this have made G14 allies jealous and eagerly hope to make big money with Millwall.


    Therefore, since Carter took office, and began to attend the G14 summit on behalf of Millwall, Millwall began to change from a "listener" to a "leader" in G14, and the obstruction in the process was very small, which also stems from The weakening of the former strong power representatives, such as Florentino, the chairman of Real Madrid, is about to be unable to defend himself in Bernabeu. Manchester United has resigned on behalf of Kenyon for two years, and then the club owner changed the owner. Italy except Juventus In addition, the relationship between the Milan duo and Millwall has always been good, and many Serie A teams have gone bankrupt, the economy is worrying, and the influence is declining. All of these have made Millwall straight in the G14 and gradually become a leader. character of.


    Abu wants Chelsea to enter the G14 from a regular way, it is impossible!


    But there is still a chance for Chelsea!


    Then, you need Chelsea to sweep Europe!


    As long as Chelsea can become the most attention-grabbing team in the contemporary era and establish a tremendous real influence, it is no longer as exaggerated and unrealistic as the eye-catching effect in the transfer market, Chelsea has a chance to smash it with its own ability. The gates of G14 made G14 big brothers have to let Chelsea sit with them.


    Abu hopes that this vision will be realized this season.


    After all, Chelsea seems to be very strong, and the strength of the lineup does not dare to say that Europe is the first, but the value of the team is already the top five in Europe, or even the top three!

 Chapter 1120： Every family has its cupboard

    On Monday, before going to the European War, the beer night of the Millwall coaching staff continued as usual.


    Aldridge is not always present in such gatherings, but the activities are held every week as scheduled, the members of the coaching staff relax and chat, talk about everything, or simply drink and play billiards, play game.


    Today, Aldridge, dressed in casual clothes, leaned on the bar counter with a glass of wine.


    Boas and Blanco were warmly discussing the recent record of Millwall next to him. The two problems expressed in the specific game, the two expressed their opinions, sometimes frowned, and sometimes lamented, I have to say that in football games, there are always people who sigh. Luck composition.


    If that shot didn''t hit the goalpost or crossbar, what would the game be like?


    If the foul was not made that time, or the referee missed a penalty, where would the game go?


    Aldridge suddenly said something.


    "We are going to change our strategy."


    "what?"


    Stella Maggioni, holding a wine glass on the other side of him, asked curiously.


    Both Blanco and Boas looked towards Audric and waited for the following.


    Aldridge took a sip and said in a deep voice: "The league can''t lose points anymore, at least, it can''t be scored by Chelsea again. This point is very critical and will affect the entire season!"


    The three coaches nodded involuntarily.


    At this point, it was Aldridge who said what everyone was saying.


    The consensus of the coaching staff is: only 5 rounds played this season, Chelsea led Millwall by 9 points, this is not a big problem!


    But if, before the end of the first half of the league, Chelsea extended the lead to 10 points or more, then the situation will turn sharply, from a situation that does not seem to be too worrying, and becomes disastrous. situation!


    9 points is a single digit.


    10 points is a double digit.


    In fact, there is a gap of 1 point, but the psychological impact is very huge!


    Millwall players will certainly not give up, no matter how much behind, there is nothing to worry about.


    However, Millwall''s mentality will change, and eager to close the gap, it is easy to breed anxiety!


    In other words, it is easy to make the mindset unbalanced!


    Aldridge will not change his view of Chelsea. Chelsea will not be "stronger" than last season. At least the league''s ability to score points cannot be more than last season!


    Because Chelsea''s potential problems have not been exposed.


    Chelsea can''t always be so smooth, and once this smooth wind stops, other problems will erupt.


    Having coached the team for many years, not only has his team experienced a variety of problems, but only for opponents in the same league, Aldridge has learned enough experience, and the lessons of failure in his eyes are countless.


    The point is, Millwall can''t make Chelsea completely comfortable before Chelsea has problems.


    Even if you don''t expect Chelsea to crash suddenly, you have to put pressure on Chelsea behind you, making Chelsea nervous!


    Only under heavy pressure, when the problem breaks out, will it be even more violent!


    Blanco''s eyes rolled, and he probably guessed what Aldridge meant by "change strategy".


    He asked softly: "The Champions League?"


    Aldridge nodded and said, "We are visiting Glasgow two days later. The strategy remains the same, and we still play the main game. However, the UEFA Champions League will be handed over to the bench. We use the main game to guarantee the league points!"


    Rotation is a must. For Millwall, who is under great pressure every year, if he does not rotate or can not reasonably allocate his physical fitness, then he will inevitably encounter various problems at the end of the season.


    According to the previous practice, the Champions League is more important than the league. Even the big players are mostly focused on the Champions League to ensure that the Champions League will have no pressure to advance, and then go to fight with the opponents in the league.


    Just like in the past, Millwall mostly looked at the points after playing four games in the UEFA Champions League group stage, looked at the points without pressure, and then closed the hand to let the bench play the last two or one game. The rotation at the same time will do the Christmas schedule ready.


    This season, the league started unfavorably, and Chelsea made another five-game winning streak, which forced Millwall to change his strategy and shift his focus.


    Now it is not the Champions League, but the league.


    Aldrich¡¯s strategy is to score 3 points in the first Champions League. In the next five games, there are three homes, and three homes rely on the bench. He believes that he can win at least two wins, as long as the remaining two away Not completely defeated, Millwall''s qualifying is still not a problem, and the main force in the same period to get as many points as possible in the league, it is to catch up with Chelsea, at least before the end of the first half of the league, which is the next 14 rounds The gap of 9 points is reduced to within 3 points, the gap of one ball!


    After confirming the team''s strategy adjustment in the first half of the season, Aldridge didn''t say much. The rest of the specific work, the coaching staff knows.


    The team''s meticulous work planning, especially playing games, is not about catching strong players. Today, "you can do it if you can, you can''t substitute". For the schedule planning within a period of time, it is natural to make arrangements in advance, except for emergencies that will lead to In addition to making one or two adjustments in a hurry, the whole is still done step by step in the coaching staff''s plan.


    Most of the colleagues in the coaching staff are family members. They come out at night to gather together for a while and will not be crazy to play, so everyone will leave after watching the time.


    Aldridge hasn¡¯t left. He is waiting for someone. He glances at the time on his phone from time to time. He has also sent a text message to that person before and is sure to meet here.


    Near nine o''clock in the evening, when someone came, Aldridge had put away his glass and replaced two glasses of juice waiting for the other party to arrive.


    The person here is Ronaldo. He is naturally familiar with Aldridge. He didn''t see him sitting in Aldridge''s position, saying hello: "Hi, boss, good evening, what do you want to talk to me about?"


    Ronaldo went straight, looking good.


    Aldrich looked at Ronaldo up and down, casual shirts and jeans, of course, are all famous brands, as well as earrings, and her hair has been carefully combed.


    Aldrich wouldn¡¯t think that Ronaldo was dressed up to meet himself later, and surely she was with whom she spent her supper. Perhaps she also pushed away the nightlife date.


    Fingers rubbed the cup surface softly, seemingly unconsciously. Aldrich looked at himself, not looking at Ronaldo''s eyes, but looking at the liquid in the juice cup.


    He said lightly: "Cristiano, what do you think of your performance over the past two years?"


    Ronaldo looked startled and replied: "I think it''s not bad, but I can be stronger. I try to improve every day."


    Aldrich nodded his approval, saying, "Well, it''s not bad, it''s not bad, it''s not bad..."


    He repeats "not bad" like a repeater, but his voice is getting lower and lower.


    Ronaldo realized that the topic Aldridge wanted to talk to him must be very solemn. He thought that Aldridge was thinking about the wording, probably because he was afraid that the two would disagree.


    So he bluntly said: "Boss, what do you want to say, tell me directly, even if it is dissatisfied, I will listen carefully."


    Aldridge raised his lips and shook his head slightly, saying: "If I am dissatisfied with you, you must be unhappy and unfair. In the past two years, your presence on the court has become stronger and stronger, and your contribution to the team It¡¯s also improving. Your average score after the game is stable at the upper middle level. There is no bad game. However, there seems to be no particularly memorable game. Cristiano, in fact, 99% of the coaches in the world should You are satisfied with your current situation, because you are like you said: Not bad. But, I am worried, not bad you, will this season have been''not bad'', next season, still'' still Not bad, keep going, it''s all at this''not bad'' level. It''s later than you came to the team, integrated into the team''s shorter Kaka, he has started to play a key role in certain games, I don''t know this Whether it affects you will make you reflect on whether you have any problems."


    C Luo Wenyan was lost in contemplation, and he began to think seriously about this issue.


    Aldridge turned his attention to Ronaldo at this time.


    If you only look at the field data, Ronaldo is very good.


    The average goals and assists per game are comparable to that of other big players.


    However, the data placed on the super strong team of Millwall is actually the case, don''t take it too seriously!


    Because of a 90-minute game, if Millwall goes crazy, 10 minutes and 20 minutes will make all the suspense disappear. If the opponent crashes, then Millwall will be able to brush out jaw-dropping data!


    If you analyze the data of Cristiano Ronaldo, you will find that it is flooded with a lot of water.


    In other words, out of 10 goals, 5 of them may be insignificant to the overall situation of the game, but the score is only 3:1 or 4:1.


    It''s hard to see Cristiano Ronaldo when he needs a player to stand up at the critical moment.


    This area is also the most afraid of competition.


    Kaka''s data is actually not as good-looking as Cristiano Ronaldo. On the one hand, it is determined by Kaka''s position. On the other hand, it is indeed related to Kaka''s short time on the team. The playing time has been less than the two seasons combined.


    But Kaka obviously gives people a fearless game!


    Regardless of the situation, Kaka is trying to play a more important role. At the critical moment, can he become a hero? It''s hard to say, even if he passes by being a hero, he at least left this shadow, making people Seeing his determination and fighting spirit.


    However, it is difficult to see such a situation in Ronaldo.


    As if, Ronaldo stayed in Portugal in the summer of 2004, like the player who was desperate for the national team, but couldn''t spell a shocking one.


    Within the Millwall team, the new generation of players has their own problems, and Aldridge is now trying to improve the problem bit by bit.


    C Ronaldo has C Ronaldo, Villa also has Villa, and the problem placed on Villa is actually more intuitive, that is, Villa lives in the shadow of Henry, which is the future of Villa. To get rid of the focus of this bondage, Cristiano Ronaldo''s problem belongs to the common problems of young people, became famous early, and too attached to the world of flowers.

 Chapter 1121： Mortal and god

    Ronaldo frowned, and he could understand the hints in Audric''s words.


    Only 20 years old this year, he did not put all his energy on football.


    This is blameless. At the age of 20, he is handsome, handsome, wealthy, drives a luxury car, lives in a luxury house, and is a fixed star in the country''s most popular sports/entertainment project. There are countless temptations from outside the stadium.


    When it comes to the concentration of men, it is never possible to leave the topic of women.


    Yeah, what else can make a man tempted in this world?


    Wealth, power, beauty!


    Cristiano Ronaldo has said goodbye to poverty completely, and he is not distracted by the power and profit in the environment. Only women and men are the gentle towns where men and women are rushing.


    At the age of 20, the women he met were as dazzling as the Millwall Honor Collection.


    College students, actors, models, and even housewives, Ronaldo has long been a regular actor in Fleet Street Lace News.


    Then think about why Kaka can enter the burst mode earlier at this stage. Perhaps, it has a lot to do with off-site life.


    Kaka doesn''t have so many flowery intestines at least now, purely like a piece of blank paper.


    There was so much energy. Kaka went all out on the court. Ronaldo divided a part. Even if he thought it was a small part, he did not lose his focus on football. However, it was such a small difference that made At the same time, he should have been leading, and he has a congenital advantage, but he has become stagnant.


    From beginning to end, Aldridge did not deny that Ronaldo''s performance was at a high level.


    However, the high level can only mean that he belongs to the first-class star.


    It is not enough to become a world-class superstar. It is even more insufficient to become a legendary superstar who competes with the sages in the past.


    As the head coach, Aldridge¡¯s position is actually very difficult to do. At least this job is difficult to treat equally. When he saw Kaka in the same period so desperately, with master consciousness, young Messi is also catching up, striving to use The best performance is to win the coach''s recognition and rewards. In the case of contrast, even if C Ronaldo''s excessive off-site gossip is a normal thing, naturally, the balance in his heart will be inclined.


    This is also the more realistic aspect of Aldridge.


    Players should be given a response from the head coach, and pay as much as possible for them, giving them the rewards they deserve.


    In fact, Aldridge did not intend to have any profound exchanges with Ronaldo.


    It''s actually very simple and superficial.


    It''s nothing more than if you want to be a qualified playboy, or pursue to become a legendary superstar.


    So when Ronaldo stopped talking, Aldridge raised his hand to stop him talking, and said softly: "I can guess what you probably want to say. In our team, there are obviously people who are more nostalgic than you for nightlife. Like drug addiction, there is no way to quit, yes, the king of the clubs in the Millwall team is Ronaldinho. He is an angel, but he is not necessarily a devil. For Ronaldinho , I don¡¯t want you to remember his lifestyle, I want you to remember two things."


    Aldridge said, pointing two fingers, Ronaldo''s expression became serious.


    He really wanted to refute Aldridge, which probably meant that Ronaldinho had the role model ahead. He was lesser than Ronaldinho. He was not as serious as Aldridge''s understatement.


    "First, remember that in 1999, in Munich, Ronaldinho was injured and lay on the penalty spot of Bayern Munich''s penalty area! I think it was a piece that laid him for the next few years, until today I can A milestone event that kept his concentration on the court, he missed a penalty and made Millwall miss the opportunity to advance to the finals and then defend the Champions League. No one blamed him, but for a club that achieved him, like him The home team of his family, he deeply guilt and self-blame, his thinking is not complicated, he regards himself as a sinner, the sinner is about to atone, this may be a negative emotion and thought, but for him, it is positive and positive Source of power.


    Second, I will only tell you this sentence, Ronaldinho¡¯s physical condition has not improved this season, or even slightly decreased. This is a symptom, a symptom of his fall from the peak, and this symptom , Or alarm, there is no way to change for him, let him return to the top, because nightlife is a drug addiction for him, and I will not say anything to him, the outside world is saying how many superstars I have cultivated , How many excellent players, this is not correct, if my sentence can change the thinking of others, my words have such a magic power, then Millwall will not have any problems, in fact, I don¡¯t have a player The key to success is to rely on yourself, just like you, just like Ronaldinho, and I can¡¯t ask Ronaldinho for more. He played five Champions League finals and won five Champions League titles. , Has won six Premier League championships, the Golden Globe Award, Mr. World Football, his thinking has begun to soften, for him, the future days, not to shock what, get any real honor, he plays football, maybe only To enjoy, you have to remember that Ronaldinho is only 25 years old this year. This should have been a player entering the peak period, his physical state is entering the golden stage, but his physical state has begun to stagnate, or even began to decline, he can decline, because he has everything, how about you? Are you satisfied? Are you ready to kick until 25 years old? "


    Aldridge said this, his tone was still light.


    He did not fervently speak out a negative case to warn Ronaldo, it was not necessary.


    Just as he is tired of being a nanny, he constantly raises his ears to the players, and warns them how to exercise restraint in off-site life.


    It''s useless.


    There are some things that can be said once, or twice. It¡¯s too much to say. I¡¯m tired of myself. The players are also impatient. They only increase the contradiction, as if who is sorry and who doesn¡¯t understand who.


    Especially for Ronaldinho, Aldridge will not have any regrets or regrets, and even hate the emotions of iron and steel.


    Because Ronaldinho has dedicated too much, he has reached his peak, even if it can''t last, there is now a "dangerous sign", but the more so, Aldridge can''t manage too much!


    What do you want?


    It is not enough to let Ronaldinho start from 20 years old and continue to rise to the peak of glory for 5 years. Is he still trying to be 30 years old and still be an omnipotent magician on the green field?


    If he does, he is God!


    But he was just an ordinary person who came out of a slum and suddenly lost his father.


    He has both inertia and human desires for enjoyment. He is not a god. He can become a **** with an innocent desire. However, God has not given him a family background and growth education environment for him to become a god!


    Successful teams do not change.


    But it does not represent a successful team, the coach can be used as a cashier.


    There will still be new problems. Complex creatures such as humans will always have different problems in different environments.


    The stability of Millwall in the new season may only be an appearance. The internal problems that need to be warned and resolved by Audridge will not be less than before.


    Ronaldo dropped his head and closed his eyes.


    Feeling a buzzing head.


    Subconsciously, he must admit.


    Ronaldinho''s scenery is beautiful both inside and outside the venue.


    This had a certain impact on him.


    It¡¯s not that I¡¯m going to mess with Ronaldinho, but it¡¯s the kind of exposure that is chased by the outside world, and even embraced by countless beauties who are in bed, this **** is the life that men dream of!


    At this time, when he heard what Audridge said, Ronaldinho, at the age of 25, did not rise synchronously anymore, but had signs of decline, which made Ronaldo feel scared!


    Yes, as a very ambitious man, a man who hopes to maintain a strong fighting ability at the age of 33 like Nedved, Ronaldo can hardly imagine what kind of future it will start to decline at the age of 25.


    That seems to make life empty.


    Suddenly, he thought of Aldridge in front of him again.


    Sitting at the head in front of him so close.


    Although Aldridge retained a rather mature shape like a touch of beard, he is still very young, looks vigorous, and his heart must be throbbing!


    Does he have any secrets?


    Perhaps, just stay focused on your work!


    As this country, and even Europe, the world-famous coach, does Audridge have no one to disturb his life?


    Isn''t there a beauty throwing arms at him?


    Of course there is, just like crucian carp crossing the river.


    Girls with lace tabloids regularly want to undress Aldridge. Who wants to "make friends" with him? And on all kinds of ONS and dream boring rankings, you can always see Aldridge''s name appear.


    However, he made his life very regular, free from outside harassment, and ignored all temptations.


    Then, he has a huge reputation in this circle, and gives himself a strong confidence and a powerful deterrent to his opponent!


    But if it is a gossip-ridden boss who will make some lace news from time to time, will there be such a deterrent? Will there be such a shocking aura?


    Will C Ronaldo, who is already a new generation of European football superstars, shed cold sweat when he says these things lightly?


    It can be said that it is the aura like Aldridge. When he talks with the players, he simply does not dare to miss a word, and his mentality is like a thin ice, because the players have a consensus.


    Fear of being rejected by Aldridge, give up!


    It was as cruel as the judge''s verdict.


    And his expectations of the players are a great honor, which makes the players very excited.


    Because of the positive influence of his strong beliefs, Tiago Silva, Ram, De Rossi, Alonso, Kaka, including Ronaldo and other young players have grown very fast.


    Aldrich left, and said a word to Ronaldo before leaving.


    "I hope that when you retire, on the east side of the Lion King Stadium, countless fans will visit your bronze statue."

 Chapter 1122： From complicated to simple

    Millwall went to the Champions League with four rounds of grievances in the league. In the first game, they came to Glasgow, the capital of Scotland. After a few years of fighting in the South, there was almost no place in Europe. What stadium made them feel strange.


    In Scotland, Martin O¡¯Neill led the Celtics to restore the glory of two or three years after the successful restoration. When the distracted European war was about to make a breakthrough in the European arena, it must be distracted at home, and was drifted by Glasgow last season. The author once again subverted the rule. For Scottish football, it is nothing more than a two-person turn between two rivals in Glasgow.


    Now the coach of the Glasgow Rangers is Alex McLeish. He is well-known in the Scottish football field and is a legend. He is like most Scottish coaches. He has started in the home league and has the opportunity to make achievements in the future. Most will step into English football coaching.


    From the day he assumed the position of coach of the Glasgow Rangers, the financial situation of the Glasgow Rangers was very unsatisfactory. The impact of the 2002 economic crisis on football has always been lingering. Bankruptcy, bankruptcy, and sale of the sale, even if it seems to be short Whatever the problem is, it has also planted disaster factors for the future.


    In this context, the overall strength of the Glasgow Rangers is not valued by European football.


    It can be said that Scottish football itself is not valued by contemporary European football, even the local Scottish giants such as the Celtics and Glasgow Rangers, because since the restructuring of the Champions League, no Scottish team has been able to break into the top 16 of the Champions League.


    Like most coaches, McLeish expressed his respect and fear for Aldridge through the media megaphone before playing against Aldridge for the first time.


    In the impression of the outside world, Aldridge has more or less the magic image of the English ground snake.


    Aldridge didn''t put on a rack, but complimented McLeish in a different direction.


    It is well known that Aldridge is very close to Martin O¡¯Neill, so when Aldridge said with a joke: ¡°O¡¯Neal¡¯s life in Scotland is not easy. To be honest, I¡¯m glad he met his opponent in Scotland, which also made me Interested in the upcoming Champions League game."


    When O¡¯Neal led Leicester City, he did cause trouble to Millwall. Although Millwall became stronger and stronger, and Leicester City was almost on the spot, Oddridge repeatedly defeated him in front of O¡¯Neill. Put in front of the super giants, which team is not an "ATM cash machine"?


    On September 13, Ebrox Stadium.


    Less than half an hour before the opening round of the UEFA Champions League group stage.


    Aldridge spoke in the locker room, he said lightly to the team players: "I like to speak openly and honestly. Our tradition is to never lie on the merit book, so we can miss what we have gained before. But it will never be used as the current capital. We have won four rounds of the league before. I have not criticized you. If I do that, it is disrespectful to you, because we spent the summer to promote the club¡¯s commercial promotion. You need More time to rest, but one month has passed since the Premier League was unveiled. In the past month, I have given you more time to rest and prepare for the battle. I think we should end the relaxed state and we should rejuvenate. , Go all out for every game, no matter who the opponent is, we have to win the game, because, we are crazy lions, the first giants in the world."


    He is a reasonable person.


    He will not ask players to make money for the club, but also demand that players guarantee the competitive record 100%.


    There is a willingness to make this account, Aldrich calculated very clearly.


    Players are also accustomed to Aldridge''s style of doing things.


    To be honest, when faced with such "weird" coaches, Millwall players don''t know if they feel more lucky.


    It is difficult to say that Aldridge¡¯s coaching style is completely free of utilitarianism, but his habit of managing the team is absolutely utilitarian.


    He is very careful about gains and losses, but it is not arrogant.


    In the locker room, De Rossi, who is the captain of the new season, shouted to his teammates before going out: "Let''s go, let''s do a big job!"


    "Woo..."


    Coming to the stadium, Aldridge kept his attention on the stadium as much as possible, instead of distracting from the stands.


    It is not because of the horrible atmosphere of the home of Glasgow Rangers. At the home of terror, he has experienced all kinds of homes called devil or hell.


    Compared with this kind of power, his ability to resist pressure has long been like a mountain, and it is difficult to shake. He is afraid of distracting his attention to the stands, which will make his mind soften, and he can''t help but show a gentle smile on the sidelines.


    Many years ago, Millwall had a fixed trio in their home stands.


    Arthur, Puskas, Ewen.


    The three people sitting on the fixed VIP seats in the stands to watch the ball is a special scenery in the stadium.


    This landscape has changed since Aldridge lived with Yiwen. At first, Arthur and Puskas watched together. Later Puskas¡¯ condition deteriorated and he can only live in a nursing home because he is so conscious Time is running out, and someone must take care of him step by step.


    Before this season, most of Arthur and Aldridge''s two sons watched the ball together.


    By this season, it became Ewen''s mother and daughter watching the ball in the stands.


    Bonnie insisted on coming to the stadium to watch Aldridge''s game, even the away game did not fall. She has been called the "Lion Princess" by Fleet Street, and she will wear the same every time she appears on the stands to watch the ball. costumes.


    That''s when Aldridge played in Southgate''s retirement game and wore the jersey with the number 0 on the back.


    Yi Wen is happy to accompany his daughter to watch the ball, although sometimes to prevent the impulse brought by the daughter too attached to his father, such as today''s game of visiting the Glasgow Rangers, Millwall arrived in Glasgow yesterday, Bonnie quarreled at home I have to come here yesterday and go to the hotel where Aldridge is located. Ewen naturally will not agree, which will affect Aldridge¡¯s work, so I only came here to watch the game today on the game day, just for the Austrian Derich and Millwall cheered.


    Millwall and Glasgow Rangers players walked into the court with their heads upright.


    Aldridge also shook hands with McLeish.


    Aldridge appreciates McLeish.


    This is due to the attitude of the Glasgow Rangers after the opening.


    In fact, most teams, even at home, dare not play too aggressively when facing Millwall.


    However, probably because of the four rounds of the Millwall League, McLeish had a new idea.


    In this profit and loss consideration, a simple arithmetic problem is that it is too difficult for the Glasgow Rangers to get out of this group!


    They are the bottom team!


    I want to go shopping with Porto. In addition, I have to fight with Inter Milan and Millwall to grab the top 16 tickets.


    The difficulty is comparable to the sky.


    But to take a step back, the group match against the same opponent two games.


    What strategy should be used?


    At home, if you are dead and have good luck, you get 1 point for playing Millwall, McLeish is confident to go to the Lion King Stadium. At home that Millwall has never lost in the European War, is he confident to score another point? ?


    But if you score 3 points at home, this is definitely more cost-effective than two draws.


    And, there will be a chain reaction!


    Millwall lost 3 points on them and naturally demanded more from other opponents!


    When changing Millwall''s state of affairs, McLeish may not be so bold, but when the Millwall league won four rounds, and the state was criticized as a mess by the outside world, his heart was unavoidable.


    So after the opening, the Glasgow Rangers showed a brave gesture of daring to fight and fight.


    Not soft, don''t counsel!


    Aldridge appreciates the opponent, really, not because the opponent did it in favor of Millwall. Aldridge was McLeish. At this time, of course, he will have ideas about the game.


    But the Rangers in Glasgow were quickly punished.


    After the battle at Old Trafford, Aldridge did not hesitate to change the team tactics directly in the next training.


    Let Millwall take a step back from the richness of the overall tactics!


    In the past they would oppress the audience and aggressively grab high positions.


    Now, the defensive center of gravity is fixed at the midfield line.


    In doing so, the team''s tactics will not be as colorful as in the past.


    It is foreseeable that if according to the previous style of play, once the team succeeds in counter-robbing in the midfield and frontcourt, it can play a fast break that can make the opponent unprepared within 3 seconds.


    Now playing like this will make the game situation not so many "accidents" appear.


    This is a necessary change. It is like grinding, which further stimulates Millwall''s greatest advantage, that is, the impact of the frontcourt.


    Give the opponent a certain amount of offensive space, so that they can push the offensive potential to the midfield, and then Millwall blocks with all his strength. When he turns from the defender, he will make a rapid advance of the 30-meter area. After the 30-meter advance, he basically comes to the opponent''s restricted area.


    The reason for the tactical changes and abundance has declined, because Millwall''s configuration in the midfield and frontcourt during this period, the ability of individual soldiers to attack is much stronger than in the past!


    Ronaldinho on the left, Kaka in the middle, Ronaldo on the right.


    Relying on these three people, pushing forward 30 meters from the midfield, they all have the ability to break through the opponent''s blockade and have the speed advantage!


    Such a rapid advancement method, with the ball in the midfield and backcourt, is actually to reduce the confusing nature of Millwall''s crazy frontcourt.


    To put it bluntly is to tell all opponents: Lao Tzu will rush at you! Can you stop it?


    Stop it once, twice!


    Can you stop Ronaldinho, can you block Kaka?


    Can you stop Kaka, can you stop Ronaldo?

 Chapter 1123： The most worried thing

    Millwall''s tactical "backward" makes the scene simpler, and there will not be any dazzling teamwork in the past, so that the audience cannot predict where they will pass the ball next.


    In this game of visiting Glasgow, this is most vividly reflected. The opponent and even the audience can predict the center of gravity of Millwall''s attack, but the opponent can''t keep up with the rhythm.


    In the 13th minute of the first half, Glasgow''s attack advanced to the midfield and failed after encountering Millwall''s powerful midfield strangulation. De Rossi, who broke the ball, gave the ball to Alonso to deal with. The excellent midfielder Aron Suo stopped the ball and turned to look up. The series of actions were completed in one go, almost in the blink of an eye.


    There are two points in front of him that are the best choice. One is Ronaldo on the right and Ronaldinho on the left. Kaka has just returned to the defense and ran forward. The middle road is relatively densely populated, while Ronaldinho and Ronaldo are They also ran forward after successfully defending, but they ran to the side, and the space utilization was more open than the middle.


    Alonso passed the ball diagonally, giving Ronaldinho an advance on the left. Ronaldinho came to the opponent''s front waistline sideline position in the running position.


    When he touched the ball, he turned the ball horizontally. Ronaldinho''s feet were as flexible as the wind. The dribbling ball was like crazy and hit the middle of the road. There was no stagnation, and he didn''t care what kind of defensive formation the opponent put on.


    Around him, Henry and Kaka responded, and Ronaldo was mainly at the far end to contain the harassment by attacking the running position.


    The defensive line of the Glasgow Rangers was turned upside down by Ronaldinho alone. Ronaldinho''s foot rhythm was too fast when he took the ball, which was too strange and unpredictable. As a result, they did not dare to attack Ronaldinho. Luo''s body only shook slightly, so that his opponent could lose his body''s center of gravity unconsciously, and then Ronaldinho quickly changed to break through.


    This time Ronaldinho drew two people laterally in front of the penalty area and then suddenly went straight into the penalty area. Under Henry''s cover, he broke through the opponent''s defender line. At the moment when the opponent''s goalkeeper abandoned the goal, Ronaldinho rubbed the ball. Shoot out.


    Ronaldinho is still at its peak!


    At the peak, he has a weird habit!


    Whether he shoots a free kick or sports shooting.


    Almost in the course of the ball shooting out of the flight, the naked eye has not yet determined that the ball will definitely enter the goal!


    However, Ronaldinho directly moved his body laterally, ran to the sidelines, and was going to celebrate the goal!


    This makes his movement continuity look incredible, but also full of visual shock!


    Opponents, teammates, and spectators are all attentively watching the flight path of the ball and seeing if the goalkeeper can keep the ball out!


    Only Ronaldinho, the initiator, moved his figure to the edge in the main picture. It should have violated the rules, but it looked so natural and smooth.


    Especially when the ball flew into the goal, people went to find the goalkeeper again and found that Ronaldinho had almost come to the edge of the court to celebrate and became the only thing in sight!


    Looking back at Ronaldinho¡¯s numerous free-kick goals, this is more prominent, because Ronaldinho did not stop after the free kick was shot, and he ran directly to the sidelines and planned to celebrate the goal!


    Of course, for those free kicks that have not been scored, he will not behave like this.


    This is obviously a player''s self-confidence and feeling of football.


    When he finished shooting, he seemed to be a part of his body. After being driven by him, he almost didn''t need to show the result in front of his eyes. He knew what the trajectory of the ball would be. Observing the goalkeeper''s position when shooting. Almost 90% can judge whether the goalkeeper can save the ball.


    This ball is no exception.


    After Ronaldinho''s rubbing shot in the penalty area was made, he ran directly to the periphery. According to common sense, it should be a follow-up preparation for a supplementary shot, or at least wait and see. In case the goalkeeper is in his arms, you have to go back to defense.


    But he didn''t, he stopped looking at the goal after shooting!


    After running for five or six steps, the reality was exactly what he predicted. The Glasgow Rangers players lost their lives, the home team fans fell silent in the stands, the away team fans celebrated wildly, and he waited for his teammates to rush up and celebrate together.


    Ronaldinho didn''t dance samba on the sidelines, but his body was swinging at the rhythm he knew, but the amplitude was not large, but he could still see that he was enjoying football at this moment.


    His physical condition has not improved this season, which is not a good sign.


    He knew this because Aldridge had a conversation with him.


    Aldridge did not preach to him, let him change his habits, pay attention to the recovery and further strengthening of the body.


    No, because these words have been said many times before he was 20 years old.


    And he should have done so in these years.


    Do it now, although it will be effective, but it is more like repairing the sheep.


    What''s more, Ronaldinho can change it, it has already been changed.


    Aldrich didn''t plan to let Ronaldinho make the best of it, but Ronaldinho insisted on the bottom line.


    Ensure the quality of training and fighting spirit in the game!


    Ronaldinho also knows his situation. He will follow Aldrich''s requirements and try his best to make the best of the game.


    On the sidelines, Aldridge applauded Ronaldinho''s goal.


    But what he is most worried about is one thing.


    In the past few years, Ronaldinho has maintained a balance between his private life and competition, but he cannot be absolutely restrained in private life like Larson and Nedved, so Aldrich is mentally prepared, and Ronaldinho''s competitive state will decline early. .


    However, this decline is not a sudden and sharp decline!


    It will be presented bit by bit, more like a feeling of subsequent weakness.


    However, if one thing is encountered, it may cause Ronaldinho''s competitive state to plummet!


    Injury!


    In terms of Aldrich''s experience, Ronaldinho''s body is now slightly "fragile".


    Such vulnerability is like Southgate¡¯s later career, with no major injuries, Southgate¡¯s state will only decline steadily, and will not decline particularly sharply.


    However, after the impact of major injuries, players not only can¡¯t recover to the past level, but even the level of falling is shocking. This is related to the long-term recovery and the inability to guarantee the physical condition. In fact, it is related to the specific injury and illness. It may not matter.


    It is because the healing time is too long, and there is a lack of strict and high-quality training for a large period of time, and the physical condition will drop significantly.


    Southgate is no match for destiny because he is old.


    Ronaldinho is now burdened with the energy consumption of the flower bush since his debut, and he has a hard time returning.


    It may actually be similar to Owen!


    But Owen''s excessive consumption is in the stadium.


    Ronaldinho is in the pile of women.


    In this way, God seems unfair.


    Owen should be given more pity than Ronaldinho¡¯s talent.


    But there is no way, God is never fair!


    McLeish sighed on the sidelines.


    Willing to kill thieves, unable to return to heaven!


    At this moment, he really didn''t feel how transcendent and powerful the Millwall''s "whole team" was!


    Because it seems that the Rangers of Glasgow lost the ball, was defeated by Ronaldinho alone!


    The superstar shines in just a few seconds!


    And in a few seconds, it can crush a mediocre, ordinary, and even elite team of 11 people combined efforts!


    The home victory that the Glasgow Rangers dreamed of seemed to be a dream break in less than 15 minutes of the game!


    McLeish did not give up. If the Rovers in Glasgow would be continuously crushed by Ronaldinho, then he had nothing to say, and most people in the world would also understand what the ball was all about, who said it was better Weaknesses are useless. Millwall is like possessing green-yellow nuclear weapons. Let your sword, sword and halberd commit the offense.


    But he was wrong.


    Really wrong.


    Millwall did not form a super-luxury lineup, but cultivated a super team with a world championship.


    Their team''s tacit understanding and overall combat consistency will not disappear in the game, that is, their players have played side by side for many years, and even some from the youth team, 20 years before playing together for more than five years to establish a tacit understanding of.


    For example, De Rossi, Alonso, Cristiano Ronaldo, their tacit understanding was accumulated by time, and their thinking of playing football was also shaped in the long time in the past.


    In the 21st minute of the game, Alonso revealed a master style, although this master style may only be seen by Audridge and a few people.


    Because Ronaldinho scored a goal with his performance against the sky, he naturally became the target of the opponent''s key marking.


    Alonso''s position in the midfield commander''s position from the foothold to the main control, and now, he is still improving, just like he always read some inscrutable books when his teammates listen to songs, he always It is drawing new knowledge and integrating into himself, which makes him see that he is getting stronger every day.


    In his role, passing is the most important technical ability, but this ability is itself limited by talent!


    But commander, mobilizing the overall situation requires a big picture!


    In the past, Alonso mostly organized the offensive reading game, where space was the biggest, and where teammates had the best chance of attacking, he passed the ball. This is a common sense offensive promotion method that is commonplace.


    But now, his grasp of the overall situation is beyond what the outside world can see.


    At this moment, Ronaldinho had the most defenders next to him, and Ronaldo had a better chance. However, Alonso just passed the ball to Ronaldinho.


    Is it because of the prestige of Ronaldinho?


    Do not!


    Because Alonso also understands Ronaldinho, and understands Ronaldinho''s overall vision is better than him.


    And passing the ball to Ronaldinho, Alonso is confident that he can find Ronaldinho, and he predicts that Ronaldinho has the space to pass the ball next.


    In this process, Ronaldinho will attract more attention from his opponent.


    Then, relatively, in other areas, Millwall''s other offensive players will have more space!


    When Alonso passed the ball, perhaps the audience felt that Alonso''s pass was uncommon, quite a posture that knows that there are tigers in the mountains and is biased towards the tigers. This is not the most time on the court. Wise choice.


    However, Aldridge was slightly curled up on the sidelines. He believes that at this moment, Alonso is actually secretly complacent, because as a commander, while controlling the overall situation, he is actually playing with his opponent!


    Such a sense of accomplishment and pleasure cannot be understood by outsiders.

 Chapter 1124： The third generation of crazy lions set sail!

    Although Millwall has a worries in the new season, Aldridge is working to solve it. With his control of the team, there will be no trouble inside.


    And the new weather within the team in the new season is not just about worry.


    Like Kaka''s fighting spirit, Alonso''s aggressiveness, etc., this is to make the coach in a "painful and happy" situation.


    No matter how bad the signs are, there are always good signs.


    In the twelfth year of coaching, Aldridge has always been unable to understand what the definition of midfielder is.


    Perhaps for many fans, the kind of midfield organizer who passes the scalpel as usual is the master!


    Such as Pirlo, such as Rui Costa.


    Organizers like Alonso, who pass the ball quite often but are superior in pass accuracy, are not masters in any way.


    But Aldrich had no intention to delve into the master''s standards.


    He only cares about his needs.


    He can understand what Alonso is pursuing at this stage.


    It''s not just the foot that the naked eye sees to pass forward.


    It''s the extension of the pass that can contribute to the subsequent development of the offense.


    Just like he could pass the ball to Ronaldo just now, but for Ronaldo, he may only be able to play 60% of his abilities when he is still alert by his opponent.


    But Alonso passed the ball to Ronaldinho, so that the opponent''s defensive focus shifted to Ronaldinho. At the same time, Ronaldo ran out of position and Ronaldinho took the next step. Ronaldo''s play may reach 80% or even 90. %the above!


    This is the goal of Alonso. He hopes to create opportunities for Cristiano Ronaldo, but will not pass the ball directly to Cristiano Ronaldo. Instead, his teammates will further contain his opponents to attract opponents and create a better chance for the first offensive teammates.


    In Aldrich''s eyes, this choice is in line with Millwall''s tactical requirements.


    Simplify the complexity, not all offenses go straight, there should always be some essence concentrated in the blink of an eye, although most people outside may not see it, this is actually better, and improves the concealment of the team¡¯s offensive threat, It will not be easily seen through.


    Ronaldinho focused on guarding more than three opponents, and when Alonso passed the ball, and there were people rushing towards him, he did not intend to fight against the opponent brutally. He also feared the opponent''s physical cutting!


    He ran back to catch the pass, and when the ball rolled over, he suddenly turned half-footed to make a long pass without a stop.


    Everyone saw the ball across the left and right half, crossed an arc from the sky, bypassed the Glasgow Rangers'' guard line, and quickly crashed into the right side of the penalty area!


    At the same time, Ronaldo has succeeded in anti-offside and reached an amazing tacit understanding with Ronaldinho. When the ball fell, he jumped up and headed the ball to ferry the ball to the middle!


    When the Glasgow Rangers'' back line reacted and rushed back, Henry lost the mark on Henry. Henry raised his right leg in the middle of the door and kept volleying. He did not deliberately exert force, but the movement was extremely elegant. Beautiful, calm and steady shot of the ball into the goal of the Glasgow Rangers!


    Henry scored C Ronaldo after scoring a goal, trotting over to praise Ronaldo''s pass, the two smiled and turned their shoulders together, and then they both gave thumbs to Ronaldinho.


    At this time, the commentator was amazed by Ronaldinho''s field of vision, praising his suddenness and accuracy.


    This **** is a master class!


    If Aldridge can hear the narrator, he will surely struggle with Alonso.


    Alonso''s unremarkable pass actually gave Cristiano Ronaldo a counter-offside and got rid of the opponent''s marking, creating a certain space.


    It is a pity that football focuses more on direct offense than on secondary contribution, just like people pay more attention to who kicked the ball into the goal, and then if interested, then go to see who assisted.


    McLeish was startled at this moment.


    Somehow, he suddenly felt like he was being fooled!


    By whom?


    Fleet Street!


    Yes, the Millwall League has won four rounds, and Fleet Street is almost happily releasing the eye-catching title of "Falling Lions".


    He also eloquently analyzed why Millwall fell.


    The aggressive heart slipped after some great honor.


    All players are working for their own "self-interest", that is, recuperating for the World Cup next summer, so they don''t work hard in the club game.


    Or, with a dark psychology, it is said that there are cracks in Millwall, and between players and generals, all kinds of unexpected stories are emerging.


    This series of public opinion bombings, of course, was not directed against the Glasgow Rangers. Fleet Street did not have that leisurely mood to confuse Millwall with his opponents, and Glasgow Rangers did not reach that level of strength to make Fleet Street a solemn treat.


    Fleet Street is just doing its own job, hype.


    Catching the wind and catching the shadow, if there is a public opinion theme, then add oil and vinegar to play freely.


    What is the fact? That''s not important.


    But McLeish really thinks that Millwall may be in a bad shape. The Glasgow Rangers are going to break through in the UEFA Champions League group stage. It is not enough for a draw to get 1 point. The temptation and substantial benefits of 3 points are enough for him. Take the risk.


    But Millwall''s opening two consecutive strikes made Glasgow Rangers pay a heavy price.


    The Glasgow Rangers players on the field are still unwilling.


    They are like playing a cat-and-mouse game with Millwall.


    Ronaldinho showed enough threats to make them pay attention, then they began to focus on Ronaldinho.


    Ronaldo also showed a threat on the other side, and they should also focus on Ronaldo.


    After so prepared, reality makes them feel crumbled.


    In the midfield, Alonso did constantly pass the wings to shape the situation in which Millwall dominated the game.


    Let the Wanderers of Glasgow continue to invest in side defense and continue to strengthen the restrictions on Ronaldo and Ronaldinho.


    Naturally, with the development of the game, their midfield defense has appeared huge empty.


    Before the end of the first half, Alonso boldly pressed up, and Kaka in the middle, and the full-back Lam, who assisted, formed a brand new triangle transmission system in an offensive cooperation.


    First, Kaka took the ball and drove the ball into the middle of the road, Alonso followed in the back row.


    Kaka suddenly brought the ball back when he came to the frontline. The Glasgow Rangers defense will not give him too much space to break through. It can be considered good to be able to bring the ball from the midfield midfielder to the frontline.


    The Glasgow Rangers'' line of defense has been screaming, but they are still subconsciously focusing on Ronaldinho and Ronaldo, as well as Henry who will do his best to limit the front line from the opening itself.


    Kaka''s return pass was to find Alonso who came up in the back row.


    Alonso took the ball a step forward and became the main target of the opponent''s marking. Alonso did not rush out the ball. After he had attracted enough defensive strength, he suddenly slid a pass from the rib of the penalty area.


    The Glasgow Rangers player in that defensive position almost didn''t move, because they thought Ronaldinho was inserted, but Ronaldinho did not move!


    Ram, who hit the bottom line from the outside of the sidewalk, seemed to have fallen from the sky, and suddenly appeared in the sight of everyone. The back line of the Glasgow Rangers was penetrated!


    Ram did not rush out of the ball after controlling the ball. He took the ball laterally toward the goal and got closer and closer. When approaching the goal, after making the opponent lose all the inches, he knocked the ball back to the side, Kaka Push the ball to the bottom right corner of the goal and easily rewrite the score to 3:0.


    The stands at the Ebcross Stadium are full of regret.


    It is too unrealistic to say how much the fans of the Glasgow Rangers have expectations of the team to win the game.


    But to say that they were scored three goals in the first half, they can calmly accept, which is also a bit ridiculous.


    Just thinking about the opponent is Millwall, seeing their sharp offensive, invincible momentum, can only make people feel sorry.


    McLeish was extremely helpless, the Glasgow Rangers had no power to fight back.


    The opponent is too strong!


    In the final analysis, there is a clear gap between the strength of the Glasgow Rangers'' players and Millwall.


    If one can not defend one-on-one, and can limit Millwall''s offensive players with three defenses and two defenses, then the defense system will not collapse.


    But Millwall, an intrusive player with three lines on the left, center and right in the frontcourt, is choking with both defenses and one!


    And Millwall''s use of the width of the field is perfect, they tear the width of the defense as much as possible, even if the Glasgow Rangers compress the depth space, but only the width of the tear, still exposes the team to the opponents, especially Mill. Wall not only has a group of attacking threat players, but the attacking threat inserted in the back row is even more unpredictable.


    Aldridge didn''t feel much.


    Millwall crushed the Glasgow Rangers in the first half in a rather cruel manner. Although the other party is a "great man", it is only relative to the Scottish region. Looking at Europe, Glasgow Rangers can not be ranked at all. In the sequence of upper Millwall competitors.


    After an intermission, Millwall played a flash of lightning in the opening half of the second half!


    Compressed by the midfield line, De Rossi made a long shot to create chaos in front of the opponent''s goal. Ronaldo shot the ball in the penalty area and sent the ball into the opponent''s gate.


    On the big screen of the Ebrox Stadium, the time is passing, the game time has just jumped from 49:59 to 50:00, 50:01, and the score has become 0:4.


    International practice, the home team is ahead.


    Once upon a time, Millwall was named "60 minutes team", which means they can lock the victory in 60 minutes, ending the suspense.


    Today, in the UEFA Champions League group stage guest game, they only used 50 minutes, and it can even be said that the first half 45 minutes to lock the victory.


    After this goal was scored, Aldridge began to retain his strength for the weekend league. After all, like Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo played in the league last weekend. In the next stage, Millwall''s focus on grabbing points is in the league, the first in the Champions League. The game scored 3 points, has created a better start.

 Chapter 1125： Chelsea going against the sky?

    Millwall made a substitution after scoring the fourth goal in the second half.


    Henry and Cristiano Ronaldo were replaced and it was Glenchard and Villa.


    The Glasgow Rangers players have set up their formation and are ready to kick off. At this time, they are confused, and although they stand on the court with their heads high, they are completely overwhelmed.


    Offense?


    0:4 behind, of course, in theory, offensive, not to mention their home court.


    But in the face of the powerful Millwall, even if the two main players were down, they still felt cold inside, which contained a fearful fear.


    When Chelsea stormed into the Premier League last season, Fleet Street praised Mourinho for training a team that made his opponents afraid to attack!


    In fact, this "dare not to attack" still has specific directions.


    That refers to Chelsea''s opponents, midfielders dare not attack!


    Because Chelsea''s 433, compared to England''s 442, has less forwards, the forwards are pushing forward, and there are no wing players in the midfield. If the opponent''s midfield is attacking, no matter how other teammates make up, when Chelsea fights back , The midfield will be beaten!


    Then the players are stronger one-on-one, and they will quickly create an oppressive advantage when they advance to the front line.


    However, this set has already appeared in the era before Millwall 2000.


    Therefore, Millwall''s opponents dare not commit themselves to attacking midfielders.


    They will use the entire midfield and backcourt as a defensive footing. The offensive investment is to strike the striker or the wing. The midfielder is absolutely afraid to rush and plug in.


    Once up, there was a huge empty space behind him.


    Now, the situation of the Glasgow Rangers is that they seem to dare not even attack forwards!


    If there are two players on the offensive, the defense behind them may not be able to resist Millwall''s crazy six or seven offensive cooperation.


    Trident, two or three in midfield, plus a full back or two.


    Millwall is even more ruthless than Chelsea in that they are more adventurous!


    Can appropriately weaken the defense to invest in the offense, and Chelsea is completely based on the foundation of defensive success.


    Especially when Millwall tactically implements "retrogression" and cuts off some rich and detailed tactics, their team''s execution will be more unified. After all, the more changes, the more people cooperate to synchronize Difficult, and the less changes, the simpler it is to cooperate. Millwall used to be on the changing pursuit path. Now he stops and even takes a step back, so that the team''s technical and tactical strength has suddenly been refined and refined. .


    The Glasgow Rangers dared to attack forward, their postures being cautious.


    Basically, once the offensive cannot be achieved, it immediately shrinks the formation and retreats.


    Aldridge didn''t let the team kill, so as not to force the Glasgow Rangers to jump into the wall. At that time, all kinds of red cards must also make Millwall pay another way, and this victory will be overshadowed.


    Millwall took the initiative to slow down the pace and control the situation on the field.


    But after all, the Glasgow Rangers were not a team that was used to big scenes.


    Probably, they thought Millwall had completely relaxed and they had a good chance.


    Millwall players themselves also plan to resign their troops. Everyone knows that the league is behind in scores and wants to stay in the league to chase the points. But the Glasgow Rangers rushed out to give the opportunity, and they could not be soft-hearted.


    In the 78th minute, Glenn Carr received a cross from Kaka and crossed the ball to the front of the side. Then Villa swept the ball in front of the goal. Villa grabbed the ball and sent it into the goal to add to the slaughter.


    "5:0... I am afraid that the Rangers of Glasgow did not expect to encounter such a painful defeat at their home court in the first round of the Champions League group stage. Millwall also surprised us. According to their recent state, perhaps no one It can be expected that they can win so easily, but this is also the king''s style of Millwall. As the defending champion of the Champions League, they slaughtered the Glasgow Rangers. It seems normal."


    At 70 minutes, Aldridge used the third substitution and allowed Ronaldinho to rest.


    Perhaps it was Ronaldinho''s end that gave the opponent the wrong psychological hint.


    At the end of the game, Aldridge walked to shake hands with McLeish. The two had a good conversation before the opening. After the game, McLeish''s expression made it difficult for Aldridge to open his mouth and say anything to the other party. As if to say a word, it is all about sprinkling salt on the other party''s wounds, because the expressionless McLeish looks like he is trying to suppress the pain.


    The five-ball slaughter of rival Millwall triumphs over London.


    Fleet Street immediately saw the wind and rudder.


    "King''s return!"


    "Crazy lion revives!"


    "Milwall declares war on Chelsea!"


    What makes Aldridge depressed is that at this time, there is no media to talk about his beard.


    Anyway, he should be wiped out the nickname "Doom".


    In the weekend league, Millwall did his best at home.


    4:0 Send away the visiting Bolton without suspense.


    In the same round, Chelsea won Charlton at 2:0 away.


    The gap between the two teams is still 9 points!


    Chelsea start six straight!


    In the mid-week League Cup, Millwall came off the bench and played a game that shocked England.


    11:00, swept the fourth-level team Magsfitt!


    Villa staged a senior, Messi, Larson, Nedved scored twice at the same time, Baines also scored a goal.


    Aldridge didn''t feel much about the game, he won.


    After all, Magusfitt is only one line away from the semi-pro club, and the weak is really not on the table. The strength of Millwall''s bench lineup this season is also obvious to everyone. The combination of new and old, even if they go out independently as a team to participate in the Premier League, only play In the league, it''s okay to fight for the championship.


    The good news is that after two hearty victories, the fans'' anxiety about Millwall has completely disappeared. During the home game of the massacre of Magusfit, the fans in the stands have been smiling and cheerful.


    The seventh round of the Premier League followed.


    Millwall was visiting St. James Park Stadium, and Aldridge challenged the magpie led by Sonnes with his energetic main team. Compared with the situation of relegation last season, Newcastle United made a good start this season and ranked well It will not cause people to worry, but at this time, they encountered Millwall who needed to chase points. Even if they had the advantage of home court, they still couldn''t resist Millwall''s footsteps.


    At the St. James Park stadium, the old Shearer failed to become the focus. Under Millwall¡¯s close attention, he played almost no role, while Henry became the focus, with the help of Ronaldinho, Kaka and Ronaldo. Next, Henry staged a hat-trick, which made the home fans of St. James'' Park stadium feel sad.


    Shearer, who once made England tremble, his record is about to be surpassed by another person.


    Now the record holder of the Premier League shooter list is Larson, the second is Hiller, and then Henry, and Henry today broke his Premier League goals to break the 220 goal mark, only 32 from Hiller Ball, it seems that the Magpies fans can already see Henry surpassing Hiller to catch up with Larson¡¯s record of 263 goals in the total scorer list.


    Millwall stormed the St. James Park Stadium. In the same round, Chelsea beat Aston Villa 2-1 at home in a shocking manner.


    How to get a seven-game winning streak in the Premier League!


    Aldridge was lost in thought after the game.


    He returned to the club and asked the coaching staff to collect Chelsea''s first seven rounds of league games.


    He took the tape home to watch it, not intending to study anything, but simply watching the game.


    Take a look at what the Chelsea opponents are doing!


    In itself, Chelsea has not changed drastically in its play style, and anti-anti-counterfeiting is still the core of tactics.


    So, the Premier League team that has been beaten by Chelsea last season, why can''t it be more pragmatic this season?


    Could it be because Chelsea didn''t win the league title, so everyone still cares about Chelsea?


    Still taking Sniper Millwall as the first focus?


    This is bad!


    Millwall played almost all opponents in a tough battle, and Chelsea last season''s Premier League runner-up, but still can easily counterattack, which makes Aldridge angry!


    Yes, Millwall is a public enemy!


    But you can''t easily give victory to Chelsea!


    Because it is Chelsea, not Millwall, that changes the rules of football games!


    Fleet Street is still praising Millwall before the round. After the seventh round of the Premier League, it began to praise and encourage Chelsea.


    "The seven-game winning streak of Chelsea still maintains a 9-point lead over defending champion Millwall. If they can maintain a point advantage of more than 6 points in the first half of the league, then Chelsea will do everything possible to make the Premier League trophy in At the end of the season came Stamford Bridge for the first time! Mourinho¡¯s team now looks flawless, Millwall has turned the Premier League into a competition that cannot be made wrong, and they may lose 9 points for the careless start of the new season. Sorry for the entire season! The best news for Mourinho is that Chelsea will play the first game of the league with Millwall this season, and will be on Christmas Day in December. Cup, physical performance Chelsea will definitely have an advantage, Chelsea now has to do is to maintain a low-key, and even further expand the lead, at least they are not as dazzling as Millwall."


    At this stage, Fleet Street hopes that Chelsea can maintain its lead, because from the overall strategic prospects, Chelsea''s most unstable stage this season will occur after January next year.


    First of all, the African Cup will inevitably cause Chelsea to lose Drogba and Essien in the short term, then from March, the Champions League and the league double battle, if Chelsea still expects the FA Cup, it may evolve into a third-line battle, In that case, the ability to control the overall situation, the outside world still thinks that Millwall is more mature and calm than Chelsea.

 Chapter 1126： Shoot at Chelsea!

    Aldridge couldn''t sit still.


    At least he has to do something to interfere with his opponent.


    But he must first lead the team against Porto at home.


    At the end of September, the second game of the UEFA Champions League group stage came.


    This game is also extremely crucial. Millwall needs to determine the qualifying of the UEFA Champions League group stage as far as possible in order to concentrate his energy in the league.


    Millwall''s bench lineup led by Larson, Nedved, Villa, and Messi debuted at the Lion King Stadium.


    Porto lost to Inter Milan in the first round, which forced them to lose against Millwall. If they lost in the first two rounds, and they were given 3 points each for Inter Milan and Millwall, then they The hope of qualifying will be shattered.


    It is acceptable to score 1 point away.


    But Millwall does not accept it!


    Porto is going through a period of change in the club''s business philosophy.


    From the beginning of last season to this season, it is a transition. The first is the coach. Since Mourinho left, the coaching has changed frequently, which makes the team management not particularly stable.


    Secondly, Porto has officially shifted from the traditional business policy of the past to become a European black shop that "gets rich by selling blood!"


    Taking the Mourinho period as an example, Mourinho coached the entire two seasons, 02-03, 03-04, Porto transfer market financial balance is balanced, slightly profitable, less than 2 million euros.


    However, after Mourinho left, the Porto black shop opened in the summer of 2004 and 2005, and a total of more than 140 million euros were recovered in the transfer market. With the money, naturally the business can be enlarged, so their investment is also Very amazing, at the level of the Portuguese small country league, they invested a total of almost 65 million euros in the two summers, which is more than 60% of the clubs in the mainstream leagues, and in these two summers, they made a total profit of more than 75 million. EUR!


    So Fleet Street also jokes: Millwall is worth learning from many clubs around the world. Porto is one of them. They now have a profitable style in the Millwall transfer market.


    Of course, such words are more ironic in Millwall''s ears.


    At least since 2002, Millwall has hardly sold the main players. What they let go is that they failed to compete in the club or were forcibly poached, such as Ashley Cole, but compared to before, it is really Not the same.


    It is not realistic for Porto to sell people like this and want to make a difference in the European War.


    Just like in the Mourinho period Porto''s transfer market is not obvious, is it not a support point for the team''s stability?


    The frequent flow of players will have an impact on the team''s combat effectiveness. Even if the people who walk seem to have lower combat effectiveness, the team''s kneading and shaping will take time.


    In the Lion King Stadium, Millwall had the absolute upper hand, and Villa, who served as the single-arrow forward, played well.


    In the 27th minute, Villa responded to Nedved behind to calmly stop the ball and make a kick, swaying the opposing defender and pushing the goal at the near corner to succeed, opening the record for Millwall.


    Before the end of the first half, Messi suddenly stopped in the right lane to make a cross, Larsen headed the ball after the outswing and crossed the middle of the road, followed by Nedved''s volley cushion shot and sent the ball into the goal. Within, expand the score to 2: 0.


    At the beginning of the second half, Messi cut into the penalty area after breaking through on the right. After attracting the opponent''s replacement, he sent a nanny ball to Villa. Villa who scored in front of the goal scored twice and Millwall locked the victory!


    Fans in the stands of Lion King Stadium looked at Larson and Nedved, Messi and Villa.


    Really filled with emotion.


    Old combination, new combination.


    The combination of new and old, Millwall generation after generation of mad lions continue to make people full of confidence in the future.


    Millwall won the second game of the UEFA Champions League group stage with a score of 3:0. Although there are still four rounds in the game, their appearance has been very good.


    Aldridge praised Villa after the game. He said in an interview: "I think Villa has been under a lot of pressure in the past few years because people always compare him with Henry. Sometimes This is an inspiration and glory, because no striker can be compared with Henry. I am very happy to see Villa working hard every day. He is also improving. He will soon celebrate his 24th birthday. His current performance, I believe he is also ready to meet greater challenges, that is the desire he had when he was very young to play a more important role in Millwall."


    At the same time Aldridge also praised Nedved and Larson.


    "Although you have written a lot of reports in the newspaper that make me angry, I agree with one thing. You said that Millwall has Nedved and Larson, which is Millford''s blessing and luck. That¡¯s right, it¡¯s our luck. Words can¡¯t express the respect and affection of Nedved and Larsen for me and all the club¡¯s people. They didn¡¯t seem to happen from the first day they came to the club. Any change has always been full of fighting spirit, hard work, and selfless dedication to the team..."


    Aldridge is very happy to see that Villa is getting rid of Henry''s "shadow".


    The formation of this "shadow" is actually quite normal. When the voice of the outside world keeps saying "how far is Villa from Henry", when Villa is not playing well in the game, people will say "if it is If Henry is present..."


    Naturally, Villa will be mentally stressed.


    The reason why the coaching team saw that he had this psychological "shadow" is that, at some time in the past, Villa seemed to want to imitate Henry''s style of play!


    This makes him unable to play better on the court, but has regressed.


    Fortunately, he is the player that the club focuses on. The coaching staff discovered this phenomenon and helped him to adjust himself in time to get out of this shadow. Instead of being "Henry II", he would be a brand new and independent "Villa".


    For Messi, Aldridge didn''t mention anything after the game.


    The praise given to young players needs to be modest, and not to be praised in every game, that will only have the opposite effect, and it is easy for the coach''s praise to gradually "depreciate".


    In the Champions League, Aldridge started shooting at Chelsea before the league started this weekend!


    In October, the Premier League started its eighth round.


    Millwall is going to face Everton at home.


    Chelsea is going to be Anfield.


    Aldridge turned a blind eye to Everton at the pre-match press conference, which made Moyes vomit blood!


    Speaking of "shadow", Moyes also has "shadow"!


    Fleet Street occasionally mocked him as Aldridge''s junior. From the day he picked up the coach in England, he was Millwall''s "royal coach", from low-level league teams to coaching the old Premier League powerhouse Everton. He is silently and selflessly helping Millwall train his troops!


    Some Millwall players who had been eliminated were transferred to Everton, but were described by Fleet Street as "the reward given by Sir Hall to Moyes."


    Moyes dismissed Fleet Street''s comments on the surface, but deep down, he wanted to get rid of this shackle and prove himself: Lao Tzu is not Hall''s younger brother!


    So Everton came to challenge Millwall, Moyes wanted to touch the tiger''s ass!


    What if a tiger''s mouth is successfully extracted?


    One accidentally sniped Millwall to defend the league this season.


    By that time, who dares to say that Moyes is Audric''s follower?


    Even if he used to be, he is now a second-five-fifth child, and he stabbed him in the back!


    Before his expedition from Merseyside, Moyes spoke at a pre-match press conference. He paid great attention to the game at the Lion King Stadium. He seemed to have foreseen all the difficulties and wisely thought of countermeasures.


    But after a pre-match press conference in the Millwall Club Press Room, Aldridge said nothing about Everton!


    Ignore Everton completely!


    Aldridge is talking about Chelsea.


    And cleverly, he waited for the reporter to ask questions about Chelsea before he took the theme of the press conference to Chelsea.


    "Chelsea''s seven-game winning streak has surprised many people? I haven''t remembered how many times in the past many years, Millwall, Manchester United, Arsenal, created a lot of seven-game winning streak? What does that mean? It means that Chelsea has already Did you win the championship? No! But if you want to talk about this seven-game winning streak, then let¡¯s talk objectively and calmly."


    As soon as Aldridge said this, the reporters in the information room looked at each other.


    Reporters familiar with Aldridge have turned their lips slightly, knowing that the young coach is intentionally starting to cause Chelsea trouble on the media platform.


    Anyway, Aldrich will not be bored with them here at first.


    Secondly, talking about direct competitors on the media platform, you need to be very cautious about the top coaches!


    Because the more you talk about, the more you care about it, which is likely to affect your team.


    This is a reactionary psychological suggestion.


    It''s like many people keep saying to themselves when they go to interview: don''t be nervous, don''t be nervous, don''t be nervous...


    But at the moment of the interview, he must be very nervous!


    The effect of saying "no" to yourself is the opposite!


    So when Aldridge is at a disadvantage, he will open up in front of the media and try to avoid commenting on putting his opponent and his team together as much as possible.


    Like when talking about Manchester United and Arsenal in the past, he will only stay on the other side, not involving Millwall.


    For example, the pressure of Manchester United, the history of Arsenal''s crash and so on.


    If you include your own team, but simply say that Millwall will overtake the opponent, Millwall is not afraid of the opponent, it sounds very false, has a kind of brave taste.


    Most of the reporters in the audience have already grasped the idea, knowing that Aldridge will put pressure on Chelsea, and whether it is internal or external pressure, then they can only wait for Aldrich to unravel the mystery.


    Aldridge cleared his throat and prepared to shoot.

 Chapter 1127： Boss, I delivered the 3 points you asked for

    "Many teams in the Premier League are surrendering to money!"


    "I think this is a very sad phenomenon. It doesn''t matter that many teams can lose to Chelsea because Chelsea are not defending champions."


    "However, they probably forgot that last season, Chelsea defeated many teams in the Premier League in a way that seemed to me lacking aggressiveness. This season, those teams that lost to Chelsea last season did not draw. The lesson, hehe, can be lost for the second time, the third time, any number of times. This is the sad place. Has Chelsea become stronger? Maybe, is Chelsea no longer able to stop it? Hehehe, we will wait and see."


    "There are a lot of teams who can lose to Millwall many times and even be bloodbathed by Millwall. They can¡¯t forget the pain, and in order to avenge Millwall, then simply give Millwall¡¯s competitor 3 points. Forget it, anyway, they can¡¯t beat Millwall on the court, hehehe, what I just said is a kind of speculation and doubt, you must not take it seriously, even if there is such a phenomenon, don¡¯t get the right number, take me Should be targeted."


    Aldridge talked eloquently and was also using counter-effects to suggest other teams in the Premier League.


    Don''t be easily defeated by Chelsea in the scene, then, now his remarks are humiliating, ironic, and mocking you for nothing!


    Chelsea challenged Liverpool this round. The focus of the battle was on the last game. Mourinho''s pre-match press conference was tomorrow. On this day, Mourinho looked seriously at the reporters.


    Of course, some reporters recounted Audric''s remarks. Even if no one said, Mourinho would watch the news.


    Aldridge''s remarks will anger many teams!


    So what?


    Aldrich doesn''t care!


    Anyway, the anger is not irritated, the resistance encountered by Millwall is the same.


    In addition to the giants in the Premier League, the other teams encountered Millwall almost all of them hit the chicken blood.


    At first it was revenge!


    Up to now, these teams have played Millwall, and the meaning of the game has become distorted, rid of hatred, and turned into glory!


    If the Premier League team can draw Millwall, it is like a glory of victory. If you beat Millwall, it is as happy as winning the championship.


    The low-level team encountered Millwall in the cup and was able to score Millwall with a goal. No matter what the score on the field, their players were as excited as winning the Golden Ball!


    This is understandable.


    After all, the low-level team has low exposure and played against Millwall. The attention it received suddenly rose several levels.


    If you score another goal, that''s okay. It''s almost a real-world reputation.


    Mourinho deliberately low-key this season, in addition to the internal problems of the club that appeared before, it also includes the club''s top, top, boss Abu!


    Abu needs influence, not to make Mourinho the most dazzling presence of this team. Mourinho doesn''t want to fight against the boss and grab the boss''s limelight.


    At least, he needs to endure before he defeats Aldridge.


    But since there is a war between Millwall and Chelsea, what is wrong with Millwall''s initiative?


    Mourinho didn''t want Chelsea to be too eye-catching at this time, a seven-game winning streak was very good, 9 points better off Millwall, but if Chelsea stood on the cusp of the storm and was surrounded by the Premier League, Millwall would naturally be a fisherman. Profit.


    At the press conference, Mourinho scorned his face and responded to Aldridge¡¯s remarks with sneer: ¡°Some people¡¯s remarks are strange. When Millwall continued to win, why did no one say yes Opponents put 3 points on the arch? Chelsea''s victory has become the opponent''s non-resistance? I think this kind of speech is disrespect to all the teams in the Premier League! We concentrate on the game and strive to win. Our pay is against the opponent. In the same way, we win the next game and our opponents can leave the stadium with their heads raised, because they are like us and they are all going to the game."


    Mourinho is obviously trying to use his own way to restore his own body, so that other Premier League teams deepen their hatred towards Millwall, and then go all out to snipe Millwall, because Aldridge¡¯s words should be Their counterattack!


    However, Mourinho may have overestimated his influence in the Premier League.


    The same method, Aldridge and Mourinho use, in the Premier League this three-point acre, of course, Aldridge is more dominant, and, as mentioned above, Millwall¡¯s opponents, really did not give up, Only under certain circumstances, such as a relegation battle after playing Millwall, then it may strategically give up the game against Millwall, otherwise? In a 90-minute game that would have been a trivial match?


    Aldridge sat in the Lion King Stadium with a relaxed mood, Mourinho''s remarks made him happy.


    Really, it would be better if Mourinho said nothing.


    However, Mourinho''s mouth could not be kept idle, and for two months, low-key, it is estimated that he could not hold back.


    No one is a fool who can''t hear the meaning out of the words of Audric and Mourinho?


    It''s just that Aldridge uses conspiracy!


    He is using the media to amplify a fact that may be ignored by everyone.


    Chelsea did really well last season!


    And also defeated, and even killed a lot of teams!


    Could it be that this season, these teams don¡¯t get anything for dignity?


    With Millwall as the biggest target, everyone doesn''t care much about Chelsea''s record last year. After all, Chelsea did not win the league title.


    But Aldridge said, the media naturally will also hype the topic, look through the old accounts, look at those Chelsea opponents, and Chelsea''s recent engagement record, and then pre-game to preach, those teams are naturally difficult to ride a tiger, do not follow Chelsea will not work.


    Like Manchester United and Arsenal, in fact, many teams focus on playing, because their image of the giants is deeply rooted, and the new nobles of Chelsea have not attracted too much attention from the team, even because of outdated vision, most The team regards Chelsea as an upstart, mentally degrading Chelsea deceptively, which will more or less affect their play.


    Aldridge happily witnessed the team beat Everton at home.


    But did not notice that Moyes''s godless eyes looked rather sad before the visiting coach.


    Moyes''s heart is like falling into an ice cellar, cold and cold.


    Aldrich not only ignored him at the pre-match press conference, but also did not shake hands with him before the start of the game, further ignoring him!


    Moyes should have blamed Aldridge because, before the start of the game, Aldridge had just watched Mourinho''s pre-match press conference interview at Stamford Bridge. He was thinking about things after entering the field, so he ignored Moyes.


    On the court, Everton fully resisted Millwall and successfully defended the first half, but Ronaldinho and Kaka scored one goal each in the second half and collapsed.


    The reason why Moyes is suffering is also here.


    It seems that his Everton really has no crush on Millwall!


    After the game, Aldridge walked to shake hands with Moyes as usual. He also patted Moyes'' arm, which seemed to be an encouraging gesture.


    Moyes left without a word.


    After the game, The Sun published a battle report.


    The classic picture in "The Godfather" was PS headshot, Aldridge became the godfather, and Moyes became the subordinate who was bowing and kissing.


    The unscrupulous "Sun" also included text on the screen illustrations.


    "Boss, I sent you the 3 points you want!"


    Even though Aldrich is accustomed to the unsolicited practice of The Sun.


    However, after getting up in the morning and seeing such a report, he still sprayed out the morning coffee.


    Straight face of the little princess Bonnie sitting on his side!


    Bonnie burst into tears!


    Aldridge had to accompany the little princess for a long time to coax the children.


    At night, Ewen told Aldrich before going to bed: Actually Bonnie cried on purpose!


    This little princess is really a big kid.


    Knowing that Aldridge loved him, he always improvised to win his father''s favor.


    But tonight, Aldridge was not too happy.


    Fuck!


    The Reds Liverpool, actually defeated Chelsea 1-4 in Anfield!


    The Blues Chelsea swept the sky!


    Start of eight straight!


    The next morning, Aldridge went to work and received a call from Benitez while driving.


    "Aldrich, you are a bit too much!"


    "Fuck, what''s wrong with me?"


    Aldridge driving was upset.


    You happily lost to Chelsea at Anfield and were beaten by the Blues.


    I didn¡¯t say anything about you, but you are asking the teacher to sin?


    Are you going to be famous anyway?


    "I admit that Liverpool lost to Chelsea, but it is not your turn to blame Liverpool?"


    "Fart! I never said a word to Liverpool!"


    "Then written in this newspaper? Well, I know what''s going on, **** unscrupulous reporter!"


    "You... I get it, you called me, actually wanted me to comfort you?"


    The British tabloids are numerous and varied, and there are countless out-of-paragraph definitions, and Zhang Guanli and Dai Dai also have many.


    Aldridge did not express any opinion on Liverpool and Chelsea, but the reporters may turn out Aldridge¡¯s previous remarks and then take the seats to humiliate Liverpool.


    Benitez certainly understands this, but he may be depressed, and he called to ask for sin without careful consideration.


    In fact, he worked hard.


    At home, they want to defeat Chelsea and end Chelsea''s winning streak.


    After all, in the last round of the league, Chelsea showed fatigue when playing Aston Villa at home.


    But Benitez may have forgotten one thing. Chelsea is best at countering. Even at Anfield, the more Liverpool want to win, the easier it is to lose!

 Chapter 1128： East London Derby reappears in the Premier League

    After the first Premier League game in October, Aldridge''s job became very easy, because the FIFA game day is coming again.


    He spends most of his time with his children at home. Bonnie is very interested in piano. According to the piano tutor who came to him, Bonnie is also very talented, but I don¡¯t know if the tutor said it was against the flattery. .


    After FIFA match day, Millwall ushered in the most important league since the Premier League was unveiled this season!


    East London Derby!


    Chelsea will face Bolton at home.


    West Ham United have been ups and downs in the second-level league for many years and have returned to the Premier League!


    The coach who led West Ham United back to the Premier League this time was named Alan Padu.


    A coach who is actually passionate and wild.


    At the pre-match press conference, Padu pledged to sweep away the decline of the East London Derby in the past decade!


    He also eloquently analyzed Millwall.


    Say what Millwall is a big international player, FIFA match day is heavily consumed, after this derby, Millwall will also usher in the European War, which will distract Millwall, West Ham will definitely have the opportunity to capture the Lions King Stadium!


    Alan Paddu''s bottom line was that he not only led West Ham United back to the Premier League, but also performed exceptionally well in the opening stage of the season. As the newly promoted West Ham United, ranked in the middle and looked absolutely Will not fall into the degraded zone.


    Aldridge did not respond in any way. In the last round, he did not deliberately ignore Moyes, but in this round of competition, he really did not pay attention to Alan Padu.


    Opponents with big rhetoric will always appear, there is no need to compete with each other for the verbal battle.


    On the day of the Derby War, before West Ham United set off, Alan Padu was like a general in the army, passionately mobilizing the morale of the whole team on the bus!


    But when the team bus crossed the Thames from the north and came to the site of Millwall in the south, the inside of the bus became silent!


    The spectacular scene of thousands of people alleys is in sight!


    The road leading to the Lion King Stadium was overcrowded on both sides. The London police had foreseen it, so the police car opened the road, and the mounted police escorted on both sides.


    Even so, those West Ham United players who have not experienced the East London Derby were stunned by the scene outside the car window.


    For Millwall, there will be no such momentum against Chelsea!


    Why?


    Because the Chelsea fan community is actually at a disadvantage in the war with Millwall fans outside the court.


    Chelsea fans themselves are "invading" Millwall fans'' sites. "Aliens" want to joke with the "snake" wrench wrists?


    Therefore, Millwall fans have been dismissive of Chelsea fans for a long time.


    The hatred between the two teams, Chelsea belongs to the "suffering" side, so in terms of hatred, Chelsea against Millwall is the first!


    However, Millwall¡¯s hatred target will always be West Ham United!


    On both sides of the street outside the car window, mad lion fans sang songs humiliating West Ham United in groups, gesticulating their gestures, and holding up their homemade slogans or patterns.


    Almost as soon as they stepped into the Millwall site, the West Ham United coach was surrounded by thousands of Millwall fans. It was like watching them go to the execution ground, one by one, and the people in the bus. Send to execution!


    After really arriving at the Lion King Stadium, Padu felt some horrible noise and oppression caused by tens of thousands of fans at the scene. He himself had some shortness of breath, the atmosphere did not dare to breathe, and the fart did not dare to let go.


    Aldridge ignored him, and in terms of his position, he always treated the enemy''s coach.


    But he is still public and private, just like Lao Lei left West Ham United, the two can be friends in private, even Lao Lei can now become the England national team coach, with the help of Aldridge, the two will also from time to time Make some confidential exchanges on the situation of the national team.


    "The much-anticipated East London Derby returns to the Premier League! Alan Paddu made a bold statement before the game, he will lead West Ham United to rewrite the 10-year shame record! If he can lead the team to capture Lion King Stadium today, this will be a game Great victory, but..."


    "Hahaha, but let''s calmly predict the game. West Ham United wants to capture the Lion King Stadium. This is a fool''s dream! Alan Paddu led West Ham United with a good record this season, but, It¡¯s not yet good enough for neutrals to think they can compete against Millwall."


    Alan Padu stood on the sidelines, and behind him were countless fans of the crazy lion screaming at him.


    Most fans insulted him basically in mocking tone.


    "Who gives you confidence that you can think that victory can be taken here?"


    "Are you not taking medicine?"


    "Don''t cry after the game!"


    ...


    Although Aldrich insists on some club traditions, he is not deeply attached to this kind of club hatred that lasts for a hundred years.


    To say how much he hates West Ham United, he hopes to put it down and win him the British crown, the first league, the second team, and even the semi-professional, amateur league, eternal can not turn over.


    This is a bit fake.


    Previously playing West Ham was very popular, winning is an eternal goal, and secondly, there are also factors that cater to local fans.


    But it is still too late, even if it is hatred, it should be limited.


    With Millwall''s status and world influence at this time, if he is too persistent to hate, it will cause a certain loss of the club''s image.


    It''s not about letting go of hatred and shaking hands with each other, but the club can''t take the initiative to stimulate the fans'' emotions.


    Excessive hatred will show a very ugly side.


    In the horrible home atmosphere of Millwall, the game kicked off.


    West Ham United took the lead in kick-off.


    As soon as their two strikers came up, they quickly pushed forward the offensive, Dean Ashton and Malone Haywood.


    The former is from the youth team of the small team, but in the past two years, it has been praised by many ball critics, thinking that he is the second Hiller in English football, which can be described as the top aura of local outstanding strikers. West Ham United Luo Zhi also spent more than 7 million pounds, but only a little younger, only 22 years old at the end of the year.


    The latter Haywood was a striker from the former powerhouse Nottingham Forest. Two years ago, it was acquired by West Ham United for a low price of 500,000 pounds. Under the Padu training, he entered the country a thousand miles. Of course, it is relative to the low-level league environment.


    Both forwards belong to tall forwards with strong antagonism and are 1 meter 88 in height, especially Malone Haywood, who looks like a strong rhinoceros!


    At the beginning of the game, when the West Ham United offensive advanced to the front waistline, Haywood was brutally knocked down by De Rossi when he cooperated with Ashton!


    Heywood was very angry. He thought De Rossi was intentional, but he heard the overwhelming cheers of Lion King Stadium and applauded De Rossi''s movements. He had to hold back and saw De Rossi''s stern expression. At times, I was a little flustered.


    The referee awarded a foul, but did not play De Rossi, but only verbally warned.


    Seeing this scene on the sidelines, Padu felt a little annoyed. He wanted to go to the fourth official theory, but when he turned around, he saw Aldridge looking at him, and for some reason, he collapsed.


    After 2 minutes, Ashton pulled the ball just to catch the ball, and Silva, who was closely guarded, directly shoveled the sideline!


    Ashton, who was under 22 years old, rolled over and hit the billboard. The referee immediately rushed over and gave Silva a yellow card. Silva spread his hand and walked back to his position.


    As they passed by De Rossi, the eyes met at a moment''s moment, and each nodded their heads.


    The success of last season has shaped the leadership of De Rossi, and Silva''s self-confidence has created a very important influence.


    This season, De Rossi, who took over the captain of the captain, and Silva, who left the No. 6 shirt left by Southgate, showed their convincing style of generals on the court.


    This is an invisible deterrent that makes opponents fear.


    Padu really couldn''t help it. He walked over to find the fourth official theory, angrily protested that Millwall was invading his player so "cruelly" in the opening!


    Aldrich turned his head to look at Padu and raised his finger to his lips.


    To shut up!


    2 minutes.


    Just 2 minutes!


    Millwall fouled in two consecutive games, almost knocking out half of West Ham''s offensive strength!


    Haywood and Ashton, the two forwards are difficult to play a role in this game.


    This is what Aldridge deliberately asked De Rossi and Silva to do.


    Not all games are done this way, only within 5 minutes of the opening.


    Aldridge will not be afraid of Padu, but with a forward of the type like Haywood and Ashton, a 1.88-meter big muscular man, instead of waiting for them to use their confrontation ability to gain an offensive advantage, Millwall is preemptive , First deter the opponent!


    Such a method is also one of the safeguards for oneself.


    You know, Ram, Schneider, Alonso, the three in the midfield and backcourt, if they really fight with each other''s two forwards, they will definitely be hit by the other side.


    Heywood, 26, is better. Although he intentionally avoided collision with De Rossi, 21-year-old Ashton disappeared in the subsequent games. After all, he was young, and he was really the atmosphere and opening of the stadium today. Frightened by being violated.


    "Oh, Millwall used a retro traditional English tactic. At the beginning, he fouled the opponent''s key players with fouls. De Rossi and Silva successively fouled to create the psychological pressure of Haywood and Ashton. They Is it necessary to do this?"


    "Why not? We can imagine that if Heywood, who weighs almost 200 pounds and is 1.88 meters tall, has the upper hand in the confrontation, this will obviously make him more active in the game. This is a trend of confidence. "


    It can be said that the reason why West Ham United did not need to fight for relegation this season, the ball on the court is tough, it may not be how powerful Padu''s tactical command ability is, but the lineup of West Ham United is very hard! Especially the front line!


    On the bench, there is another 1.85 meters Zamora.

 Chapter 1129： Paradox of the game

    Alan Paddu, who has been coaching five years later than Aldridge, is ambitious and passionate, but it is by no means a silly lack of nonsense when the brain is hot.


    How strong Millwall is, everyone sees it.


    But he thinks that West Ham United can have an advantage in a specific confrontation. He wants West Ham United to hold up high and fight against Millwall in this game. Maybe he will kill his master in a mess?


    However, after Haywood and Ashton suffered successive violations after the opening, the two had some mischief devices on the journey of siege, which inevitably caused Alan Padu''s tactical idea to die before implementation.


    The predecessor is the predecessor, not to mention that the predecessor is the great master who is worshipped by countless people in the entire football world.


    Aldridge defeated Lion King Stadium in a way that Alan Paddu could not understand at first.


    Millwall drew four goals from West Ham United at the Lion King Stadium.


    Of these four balls, two are long shots and two are supplementary shots.


    The two complementary shots come from long shots!


    West Ham dare to double forward, the defender line must be placed in the restricted area to intensive defense.


    They waited for Millwall to come and play with embroidery needles in front of them, but Millwall''s attack would always be the final blow outside the penalty area, long shot!


    Boom, the ball is like a shell, time and time again, from all angles in the distance to the goal of West Ham United.


    Ronaldinho shot a world wave flying into the upper right corner of the goal from the left side of the penalty area.


    Alonso hit a ball against the earth in the front of the middle road, but was blocked by Kaka and instead turned into the goal.


    These two long shots have no solution!


    And De Rossi''s long shot created chaos in the penalty area, Ronaldo made up the shot.


    Ronaldinho and Schneider''s long shots in the periphery were also caught by Henry with a chance to make up shots and easily broke the goal.


    Millwall played triumphantly at home.


    At the end of the game, Alan Padu was blind, and Millwall fans cheering in the stands as if he was singing a word that made him unpredictable: Who is messing with punches?


    It seems that Millwall is in luck!


    But his mother can score four goals. How bad is the luck?


    In the analysis of professional warfare replays published on Fleet Street the next day, "Times" column reporter David Miller used a "smart way to win" to describe Millwall''s tactical use of the game.


    Everyone can see that Alan Padu wanted to use his muscles to form a wall in the penalty area to prevent Millwall from scoring.


    Millwall did indeed have a European war behind, and although the score behind Chelsea in the standings has not changed, but Chelsea has always won the game and played one less game. In fact, Chelsea is expanding its lead!


    So Millwall can''t fight hard, can''t consume too much, and minimize the probability of combat downsizing.


    So, Aldridge used an unreasonable way to "crush" West Ham.


    Long shots are actually just an auxiliary method, not the ultimate means!


    On the ability to catch fighters in the restricted area, Millwall''s forward has a very high quality. When dealing with emergencies, Henry, Ronaldo, Kaka plugged in behind, and Ronaldinho roaming outside the restricted area are definitely better than The opponent is stronger!


    Then, as long-range shots are made, as long as they create chaos, Millwall¡¯s invisible advantage overwhelms his opponent when fighting for the second reaction!


    Therefore, David Miller believes that Ronaldinho''s goal belongs to genius play, no solution!


    Alonso''s long shot is luck, and Kaka will not score if he does not touch the ball.


    The supplementary shots of Henry and Ronaldo were the result of Millwall''s tactical application.


    Observing C Ronaldo''s and Henry''s running position when his teammates are shooting long distances, it is obvious that they are trying to find and seize the opportunity after "chaos"!


    After the opening, De Rossi and Silva repeatedly fouled Ashton and Haywood with fouls, making the two tycoons who helped West Ham to attack the city become docile cats.


    David Miller believes that Aldridge gave Padu a lesson that should make Padu unforgettable.


    This is exactly where Millwall is now terrified. Opening and closing fights with each other, thick and thin, makes opponents both inconceivable and difficult to see through.


    Winning this East London Derby did not make Aldridge even happier.


    Because Chelsea swept Bolton 5:1 at home!


    Chelsea is really going against the sky!


    The start of the new season, 9 consecutive victories!


    Millwall has reached the third place in the standings, behind Manchester United by 2 points, but still behind Chelsea by 9 points!


    After the league battle, Aldridge led his team to Italy, preparing to be a guest of Meazza to challenge Inter Milan.


    In the last UEFA Champions League match, Inter Milan fans threw fireworks during the game and caused the game to be cut. Therefore, UEFA fined Inter Milan for three games in the UEFA Champions League group match. .


    Inter Milan had been turbulent in the past few years, and the record was slightly unstable. Moratti would not change his coaching. The plan, or really surrender to reality, since the current coach Mancini since taking office, according to the previous standards, he should be unstable, but Moratti gave him extraordinary trust.


    Aldridge was not very excited about his upcoming fight with Manic, and he now values ??the league more.


    Mancini attaches great importance to this pinnacle battle for Inter Milan!


    In the face of Aldridge, Mancini had to say very low-key: In the field of coaching, he is still not far from Aldridge, but he firmly believes that Inter Milan will not easily surrender to Millwall!


    Millwall who came to Milan city did not have a good rest. The fanatic Inter Milan fans made noise outside the hotel where they stayed all night, even if Millwall invited the police to help.


    In this UEFA Champions League group match, Aldridge will naturally have to rotate to let the bench players play.


    A game very common in the eyes of Aldridge.


    Neither life nor death, nor the strength of the opponent can make Aldridge have a strong desire to fight.


    But when he walked into the court after the regular training session in the locker room, he felt the paradox of the atmosphere.


    Probably it was really focused on the league. Oddrich only took a serious look at a message that had been told by the world before the game.


    In this game, the stands are basically empty!


    UEFA fines Inter Milan at home for the game!


    However, it is impossible to say that there is no audience.


    First of all, the broadcaster must be on the spot. The media reported that there were a lot of reporters entering the stadium to watch the game. However, the reporter is a reporter, and he will not cheer on the stands to cheer for anyone. It is a bystander.


    There are also a small number of spectators who belong to special channels and get the qualification to enter the game.


    Inter Milan cannot sell tickets to fans.


    Millwall is considered to be affected by the pond fish, and their fans cannot come to cheer for the team away!


    So, the remaining channels include the official UEFA sponsors, they have tickets, and the sponsors want to give these tickets, that is the sponsor¡¯s freedom.


    But after all, it is only a small part. Compared with the tens of thousands of capacity, less than a thousand people come in, which is really not much different from no one.


    When the two players lined up, Aldridge slapped his head in front of the coach and sighed in remorse.


    When he came to Italy, he also called Moratti in order to allow his baby daughter to come to the scene to watch the ball.


    No, in the VIP box, Moratti gave hospitality to Ewen and Bonnie and treated them as a guest to sit in the box and watch the ball.


    Now, Aldridge felt uncomfortable on the sidelines.


    Millwall also witnessed the closing of the stands. For example, Leeds United was fined by UEFA for racial discrimination. However, when the penalty was fulfilled, Leeds United¡¯s opponent was not Millwall.


    No matter where Millwall goes to play, no matter how many fans the opponent team has, Millwall has a large number of loyal fans to follow the team.


    When playing in the stadium, they will feel the atmosphere in the stadium, they will intuitively see, hear, and the presence of fans in the stands.


    Today, the world is in the dark.


    Da Lao Yuan ran from Milan to Milan and came to an empty stadium to play a quiet game!


    Not adapted, not at all.


    Millwall is a big-scene team. The more big scenes, the more they enjoy, or, as Millwall players, what they long for is the big scene, not the small stage that no one likes.


    Today''s game environment is like taking sleeping pills for Millwall players. They can''t be excited at all!


    Especially the state of Larson and Nedved is not good.


    On the FIFA game day at the beginning of the month, both teams represented the national team and played the life-and-death match of the World Cup qualifiers.


    Back to the team did not play a league, but today is a guest to play the game, the journey is also a load for them, plus last night, Inter fans harassed them to rest outside the hotel, it seems to be playing today An insignificant training match.


    Various factors have caused Millwall to be surprisingly poor in the game!


    Although Inter Milan is certainly not used to having no home team fans cheering for them at home.


    However, they also played a round of home European games at any rate, and they adapted in the last game. They are psychologically prepared today.


    The players played much better than Millwall, and Millwall didn''t give up all the strength. The players were like sleepwalkers on the field. Aldrich immediately adjusted the tactics after he noticed the problem of the game atmosphere.


    However, this adjustment proved to be a failure.


    Instead, the formation of Millwall is disjointed. The team is not in a unified rhythm. The talents who really are coaches will understand that it is not unimaginable to change the team''s formation by directing the game on the sidelines, even if a certain player''s position moves. It''s so easy, because a change is often a chain reaction, and it takes the whole team''s tacit coordination to coordinate.


    Obviously, Millwall, who was in a bad state today, couldn''t reach a high level of understanding. Aldridge''s on-site adjustments made them confused.

 Chapter 1130： Regret it?

    In the first 30 minutes of the first half, Millwall was scored two goals by Inter Milan!


    The goal scorer is now the "king" Adriano of Inter Milan.


    The Brazilian striker who was recently held up seems to be moving in the direction of a superstar. He is only 23 years old.


    The way to be scored is simple and rough.


    Pedretti, Neil and Barzagli can hardly stop the strong Brazilian.


    Manic looked dumbfounded on the sidelines!


    He never thought of being able to play Millwall a 2:0 in a home with almost no advantage!


    But after carefully observing Millwall''s state, he suddenly realized.


    Indeed, for Inter Milan, today''s environment has weakened the home advantage, if quantified, perhaps 30%, because they have adapted to such an environment before.


    What about Millwall?


    Instead, they did not benefit from it, and their fighting power was weakened even more! Coupled with the factor of coming from afar, it may be weakened by 50%.


    And they still play off the bench!


    After being scored the second goal, Aldridge resolutely changed the tactics in an all-round way, allowing the team to return to the defense as a whole and fight back!


    Mancini can''t handle it, Inter Milan players may not be excited enough, but after scoring two goals, the mentality is completely different.


    Not everyone can stalk in front of Millwall, let alone hang down the king of Europe!


    Now that they have this opportunity, how can they miss it?


    So they aggressively pressed the offensive and wanted to end the suspense in the first half.


    But Millwall pulled back with a wave of counterattacks.


    Millwall''s counterattack was also simple and straightforward. Three passes and two downs found Villa at the forefront of the striker and rewritten the score with his single-handed ball.


    Mancini was shocked again in a cold sweat, afraid of being turned over in the decision of the young master next door!


    Fortunately, the situation saved him!


    The referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half to allow the two teams to return to the locker room. In other words, Inter Milan could breathe calmly and calmly to follow Mancini''s readjustment.


    Aldridge regrets the timing of the goal. If the first goal was scored 40 minutes ago and Inter Milan did not adjust, maybe Millwall could score the second goal and even the score at midfield.


    Unfortunately, Villa scored in the 43rd minute.


    At the right time and the people are harmonious, Millwall is indifferent, the situation is still at a disadvantage, and the state is not good.


    Aldridge knows that the game will be overturned, depending on the opponent''s situation.


    When the second half came out, Mancini took a defensive posture in the lead, Inter Milan lost the ball in the last half of the first half, the players were blown by the cold wind, and their minds were mostly awake.


    What is your dream?


    Hanging down the king of Europe?


    Have you weighed yourself a few pounds?


    It''s good to win!


    Inter Milan lowered their posture and did not take the initiative to attack at home. While Audridge was helpless, he must also fight with the opponent.


    It is just the overall strength of Inter Milan at this stage, although it is not the top row, but at least it is also a top-ranking lineup.


    On the defensive end, Samoel, Zanetti, Materazzi, Zambrotta, midfielder and such powerful players as Cambiasso.


    Millwall counterattacked his opponent in the first half and succeeded once. In the second half, the active attack was returned by Inter Milan.


    3:1!


    Millwall defeated Meazza.


    This strange atmosphere of the game, even at the end, feels weird.


    The winner seems to be self-respecting and feels like acting.


    Mancini rushed into the court proudly, smiling with a smile, combined with a bleak stand, it really makes people think this is a rehearsal game.


    Aldridge stood in front of the player aisle to greet the next player, patting each player on the shoulder to show encouragement.


    He will learn lessons, but will try his best to forget this game.


    He also did not blame the emotions of the players.


    Even he himself felt that the command of the ball on the sidelines was a pain and uncomfortable, not to mention the players on the court who felt unable to get excited during the practice game?


    In an interview with the media after the game, Aldridge answered some questions lightly and then hurried away.


    The team left Milan City first, and most of the players in the game felt that the UEFA Champions League group game was inexplicably played.


    Aldridge stayed in Milan for the time being and accepted a banquet by the Moratti couple.


    Aldridge spent one night in Italy and spent the night at Moratti¡¯s house.


    He had a conversation with Moratti, did not discuss the Champions League game, and did not care about each other.


    Inter Milan have won three games in a row, and the UEFA Champions League has a bright future.


    Although Millwall had two wins and one loss, the Porto and Glasgow Rangers in the same group had a draw in this round. Both teams had only 1 point, and Millwall did not need to worry too much about the qualifying situation.


    Most of the exchange between the two is at the club level.


    On the one hand, it is to strengthen cooperation, on the other hand, Moratti pours water to Audric, which roughly means that in Italy, Inter Milan is struggling against the "Holy League" of Juventus and AC Milan. For many years, a crown is hard to find. what!


    Aldridge said nothing but sympathy.


    According to the historical development trajectory, the era when Inter Milan is king is coming. How do you say something?


    Out to mix, sooner or later have to repay!


    This night''s exchange was of great significance to the two clubs. When Millwall decided to play a more important role in the G14 and hit the leading throne, Inter Milan took the initiative to fall back to Millwall''s camp and became Millwall''s firm support. By.


    Moratti not only hoped to strengthen the friendship with Millwall, but also included the huge transfer market network relationship created by Aldridge''s second brother, Andrew in Europe and South America.


    The existence of the "Sacred League" in Italy suppresses Inter Milan not only in the manipulation games that are said to be caught by the media, but the most important thing is the resistance in the construction and development of the club.


    It is difficult for Inter Milan to buy their favorite players in Italy, even if they are rich, the Italian transfer market is operating in a weird mode that normal people simply cannot understand, and only wait for the most influential broker in this country When the company''s GEA collapsed, the transfer market developed in the normal direction, that is: who has the most money and who is the boss.


    This is a well-established law, but it doesn¡¯t work right now and in past Italy.


    When Aldridge returned to London, he was hit by Fleet Street.


    Strangely enough, Fleet Street does not have the mainstream voice commented by other European media when reporting on the battle report: Millwall underestimated the enemy!


    Yes, sending off the bench and losing the game will naturally make people feel that Aldridge is arrogant against the enemy.


    But Fleet Street is not particularly concerned about this.


    If you neglect the enemy, you will be underestimated. Can''t Millwall qualify?


    Now mocking Aldridge for beating the enemy, maybe playing Inter Milan in the next round, Aldridge also sent a bench lineup, in case he won?


    What will happen then?


    To know that the third and fourth games of the Champions League group stage are back-to-back games, Millwall played Inter Milan in the fourth game.


    Fleet Street seemed to turn elbows outwards, and the Italian media sang praises for Adriano, holding the Brazilian shooter as Europe¡¯s number one successor!


    And turning over the old account, mocking Aldridge missed the opportunity to sign Adriano at a low price!


    Fleet Street is pushing the boat along with the water, echoing the voice of the Italian media. Most of them take Audridge''s glance as a selling point, slamming against his mistakes in the transfer market.


    At the end of the weekend, Aldridge led his team to be a guest of Highbury. Before the expedition, he attended the pre-match press conference with a cold expression.


    When the reporter combined the defeat of the Champions League in mid-week and Adriano''s brilliance, and asked him if he regretted not signing Adriano that year, Aldridge replied with interest.


    "With Adriano''s scoring efficiency over the years, can he start at Millwall?"


    The audience was dumb.


    This group of reporters who are afraid of the chaos in the world is happy to spray, but when Aldridge fights back, they are all stunned again.


    Adriano seems to be very strong, but it is not the strongest in Audric''s eyes. With other factors, why should he regret the decision that year?


    Furthermore, has Millwall not let go of a good striker?


    The only difference is that Millwall made money by selling strikers like Trezeguet, Shevchenko, Fanny, Tony, Rooney, Drogba and so on.


    And Adriano, Aldridge did not want him to appear in Millwall''s formation, even the bench, reserve team, youth team, are unwilling.


    It''s just that he didn''t want Ronaldinho to have a bad friend next to him, which affected Ronaldinho''s play.


    But even without Ronaldinho in the lineup, Odri? did not want Adriano.


    It''s not worth the effort for him.


    When no one was speaking, Aldridge got up and left. A reporter spoke behind him to keep him, and Aldridge never looked back.


    The Fleet Street reporters knew that reporting the Champions League in the middle of the week was a little irritating to this young marshal. Now that the young marshal is playing a big name, they have no choice.


    As for the focus of the weekend, London Derby, Millwall as guest Highbury to challenge Arsenal, Aldridge did not mention anything.


    If Millwall''s poor start at the start of the season is shocking, then Arsenal''s start this season is disastrous!


    In nine rounds, Arsenal have 4 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses.


    14 points from the top of Chelsea!


    Arsenal have been kicked out of the championship, no doubt.


    But the strange thing is that Arsenal''s poor performance in the UEFA Champions League group stage actually achieved a three-game winning streak!


    This is diametrically opposed to their image of internal strengths and external weaknesses, civil wars and civil wars.


    Maybe everything is an illusion.


    At least Arsenal''s Champions League opponents are not strong.


    Thun, Ajax, Sparta Prague.


    The three-game winning streak of the Champions League made Wenger frown when he was too happy.


    Millwall played in the Champions League midweek, yes, but Millwall was on the bench.


    Arsenal is the main force.


    Moreover, they are also guests, to **** Eastern Europe!


    After this round-trip of energy consumption, we must welcome the wild lion Millwall at home, Wenger''s head is about to explode!

 Chapter 1131： Back to the top!

    Highbury.


    Since the ground breaking of the new stadium, Arsenal''s finances are tense, and after many years of frugality, the ills have also surfaced, and the overall competitiveness of the team has declined.


    If you compare Millwall with Arsenal, the difference between the two teams in the past 11 main players may not be too large. Although Arsenal are at a disadvantage, they still have the power to fight.


    But now, the gap between the two teams is very obvious, even the gap between levels.


    Millwall''s main lineup may reach the ultimate peak strength just a little bit.


    But what about Arsenal?


    Wenger gave Xiaofa, Clichy, Van Persie the main players, let them play the role of provoking the beam, but in terms of ability, they are still growing, there is not a short distance from the peak, plus the team The limit potential value itself cannot be compared with Millwall, so the gap in overall strength at this stage is clear at a glance.


    I played in the Champions League in the middle of the week, and I went to Sparta, Prague, Czech Republic. The Arsenal fans had a happy day. The team won three consecutive victories. It was only one victory away from the early qualifying, but I was happy just a moment later. Against Millwall at home, the mood suddenly seemed to be shrouded in haze.


    Self-deceiving to comfort yourself: Mad Lion also played in the Champions League in the middle of the week, continuous guest, the strength will certainly fluctuate, and they lost in the middle of the week, morale on the other side, the gunman must have a chance at home!


    But in the game, the mental appearance and physical disadvantages make Arsenal even at home, but they are extremely passive on the scene and seem to have no chance.


    Millwall''s adjusted tactics in the new season, as long as they have sufficient physical fitness, the player''s state is okay, almost suppressing the opponent''s daring to move.


    In the 19th minute of the first half, Ronaldinho shot from the left to the middle, and the frequency of his feet was amazingly fast. If he watched his movements in a consistent manner, he felt that he was dancing on the court.


    He easily dribbled away from Fabregas, then twisted his body in front of Gilbert to confuse his opponent''s body and then suddenly accelerated to break through. In front of the defender line, Henry made a running position to contain and cover, Ronaldinho was Campbell flicked the ball horizontally in front of him, and took a volley with a consistent shot to send the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal!


    Highbury fell silent.


    Fans of crazy lions collectively made an act of worship for Ronaldinho in the stands.


    "Ronaldinho has been in excellent form since late September. He looks unstoppable on the court. No one can stop him. No one! He has scored many goals like this. As long as the opponent gives him enough space, the Brazilian magician can show his magical dance steps."


    As the top star in the frontcourt acceleration, Ronaldinho is generally the first person to play the offensive horn first. He must first threaten and make the opponent have to strengthen, then strengthen the restrictions on him, then, next, he It is tantamount to making restraints for teammates, creating more offensive space for teammates.


    In the 32nd minute, Ronaldinho dexterously used the Marseille maneuver to pass the ball on the left side. After turning and pulling the ball, he directly pulled the ball to the side, and the following Ram put the ball straight in front of Henry.


    Henry stopped the ball, dribbling the ball horizontally. In terms of rhythm, neither Lauren nor Tour¨¦ failed to keep up with Henry. They always looked slower than their opponents, which might be related to the accumulation of fatigue in continuous combat.


    Henry drew the ball laterally to the front of the penalty area and then suddenly turned into a straight line to cut into the penalty area. Gilberto returned to the defense and completely lost his goal. Toure also lost his center of gravity.


    Facing goalkeeper Lehman, Henry calmly shot the ball into the lower left corner of the goal, easily rewriting the score.


    Arsenal are two goals behind at home!


    Wenger spread his hands helplessly on the sidelines, his expression looked very dissatisfied, but everyone felt strange and didn''t know what he was complaining about.


    It doesn''t look like Arsenal''s players made low-level mistakes, or that they couldn''t withstand the attack of Mad Lion at a glance.


    Arsenal tried to push the pace of the home court fast, but before the end of the first half, Kaka ran for a long distance to complete the entire defense line.


    Kaka was selfless. At the last minute, he passed the ball to Ronaldo who started the offside, and Ronaldo handed over the goal.


    "3:0, Arsenal was once again defeated by Millwall at home! If we are still condemning Millwall''s underdog against Millwall''s defeat in the Champions League, then at least we should recognize Sir Hall''s strategic intentions, let The main rest, recuperating and sharpening against Arsenal in the league, it seems that this has achieved good results. Overall, Millwall is only completely stronger than Arsenal in terms of physical fitness and state, let alone in itself. Arsenal''s technical and tactical strength."


    In the second half, Arsenal''s situation did not change significantly.


    This season the Arsenal league record has slipped significantly from the start, which is closely related to their performance last season or even last season.


    Originally, people thought that Arsenal''s combat power will be greatly weakened last season. This is a normal view, because they have the main force to lose, coupled with the strong force of Millwall in the league, Chelsea''s new army has emerged, and the importance of Arsenal in the Premier League has Was dropped.


    Under such circumstances, Arsenal have achieved very good results, then, this season, everyone has mentioned the importance of Arsenal, after all, Arsenal has the impression of traditional giants.


    Under such great pressure, the decline in the Arsenal league record basically reflects their true strength, or low, because there are too many young players, after the unfavorable start, the psychological pressure increases, and the difficulty of the game cannot be expected. The sudden improvement further affected their performance.


    What they need is to grow steadily and take time.


    It is undeniable that Van Persie is still a small soldier, not a general Fan, and the biggest obstacle to his progress at this stage is injury.


    There is also Fabregas, who can only be said to be a better young player at this time. Looking at the court statistics alone is not enough to make him be regarded as a core midfielder of the rich class. He also needs more games to grow.


    This period of immature Arsenal trailed by three goals at home, and in the second half they wanted to reverse the decline with a dare to fight.


    Experienced Millwall did not give them any chance, and was chased by victory, Aldridge has reservations in the Champions League, but will not stay in the league!


    He wants to put the most pressure on Chelsea!


    The second half became a personal performance of Millwall''s offensive players in the frontcourt.


    In the 57th minute, Kaka staged a long-distance raid again. He started the ball from the center and backcourt, and directly threw Fabregas into the shadows. Gilberto was also crushed by the acceleration of Kaka''s explosive watch. Finally, Kaka He also selflessly assisted Henry, and Henry crossed the goalkeeper Lehman and kicked the ball into the empty goal.


    In the 73rd minute, Henry and Ronaldo swapped positions. Schneider and Henry made a continuous two-on-one match on the right side. Schneider took the ball under the instinct and then crossed the ball. Ronaldo grabbed in front of the goal. The ball was scored and scored twice.


    Two minutes later, Ronaldinho played a dragon on the left when the opponent''s army was defeated. He shot under a small angle and Lehman blocked the ball, but the follow-up Kaka supplemented the shot and changed the score to 6: 0!


    "Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Arsenal are being slaughtered by Millwall at home! The game has 15 minutes, but the score has become 6:0! Millwall is completely crazy!"


    Wenger dispatched soldiers, it was a little late.


    His adjustment is to strengthen the defense and avoid being scored in the seventh and eighth goals!


    Wenger looked bitter and helpless on the coach seat.


    After all, Millwall''s overall strength is much stronger than Arsenal!


    At home, Arsenal are reluctant to be suppressed by their opponents, especially those young players. They always hope to perform in such a game that attracts the attention of fans around the world. The reality is extremely cruel, even cruel.


    Just looking at the value of the starting players, it is possible that Millwall is at least double the price of Arsenal!


    This is the general hard power gap.


    In terms of soft power, Millwall is certainly stronger than Arsenal.


    Wenger''s bitterness may be more from the history of club building.


    Now Arsenal are eager to move into the new stadium as soon as possible, get rid of the debt of the new stadium as soon as possible, and let the finance not only remain healthy, but more profitable, so that they have the capital to enrich the lineup.


    Imagine that in the past, Millwall was planning about three years ahead of Arsenal''s new stadium. These three years may be a far cry!


    With lower costs and earlier returns, and combined with the background of football development, the background of the times, Millwall has benefited immeasurably.


    At this time, look back at the development of Millwall at that time. In the entire football, most people will praise the wise decision of Aldridge at that time!


    Under pressure, the seller built the stadium in exchange for a prosperous age!


    Arsenal are three years behind Millwall from leading to three years behind in club building. The three years behind this may leave them at least ten years behind in the competition now and in the future!


    Of course, football is not a place with absolute rules after all.


    If Arsenal¡¯s shareholding allocation is not too complicated, maybe Abu will be able to drive to North London that year. In that case, there is no question of what money is not.


    In the end, the London Derby battle was frozen at 0:6.


    Arsenal suffered a fiasco in Highbury!


    Aldridge did not shake hands with Wenger after the game, because as soon as the game was over, Wenger took off his coat and drilled into the player channel. Presumably, he was escaping the boos of home fans.


    In an interview after the game, Aldridge officially announced to the outside world: the best Millwall is back!


    At the beginning of September, he said that Millwall is gradually adjusting and moving **** the right track. In late October, this adjustment period finally ended and Millwall returned to its peak state!

 Chapter 1132： Millwall is poisonous!

    The 10th round of the Premier League kicked off with a high-level defeat of Millwall by Millwall!


    The gunman''s blood stained the Premier League.


    In the outlook before this round, Millwall and Arsenal are both sympathetic characters.


    In particular, Wenger believes that the FA has a problem with the schedule!


    Well, the FA has always been the goal of the giants to complain.


    Anyway, it is never possible to arrange the games of the giants in a very reasonable and gratifying way.


    Millwall and Arsenal played the Champions League away at the same time, but they will return to London to play the highly anticipated London Derby first.


    Chelsea also have European war missions, but their game is in the next day.


    Millwall did not complain that this was not Aldridge''s style. For more than ten years, he had always responded to the "return to accept" how the schedule was arranged.


    When the mad lion returned triumphantly, the trend of the current round went in another direction.


    With the prestige of a nine-game winning streak, the Blues Chelsea came to the Goodison Park Stadium!


    In the 90-minute game, Mourinho left expressionlessly in the wave of Everton fans.


    1:1!


    Moyes exhaled at the end of the game!


    He is always trying to prove what may not be a **** of war, but he hopes to use the stadium record to deepen his impression of coaching ability.


    Especially when Liverpool, a rival in the same city, was beaten by Chelsea at home, Everton successfully attacked Chelsea at home, making Chelsea ushered in the first season of the new season.


    This made Moyes very proud.


    Mourinho made a comment on Everton''s fighting spirit after the game.


    He said: ¡°Not long ago there were people saying that Chelsea¡¯s opponents would easily concede defeat, but now the picture presented to everyone is that Everton can easily lose to their opponents in London, but here they have made extraordinary. The fighting strength of Chelsea is hard. I think someone¡¯s remarks should be transferred. There are many teams in the Premier League that can easily lose to the defending champion because they are too afraid of the defending champion."


    Mourinho wanted to use this draw to stimulate other teams'' intentions, against Millwall!


    It''s just that as an outsider, he can''t really thoroughly understand the difficulties encountered by Millwall against his opponent!


    Chelsea is fighting back!


    Millwall is playing offensive football, and the difficulty between the two has never been experienced and is indescribable.


    Without Audric responding to Mourinho''s remarks, the media satirized Mourinho in the battle report published the following day.


    "Morino made two contradictory remarks within a month. Previously, he said that Chelsea''s opponents went all out for the game. Chelsea won, and the opponent won respect. Now, he is implying that his opponent is against Chelsea. Maybe it is, Everton defeated at the Lion King Stadium, but Chelsea lost 2 points in Goodison Park. Everton could not win the respect of Mourinho. What is the reason? Oh, because Chelsea did not win. If Chelsea wins the game, it may not be the topic now."


    In the battle report published on the same day, "The Sun" shamelessly put the PS picture on the headline of the football section.


    Or Aldrich stretched out his hand like a godfather, Moyes bent over to kiss.


    It''s just that the dialogue with pictures has changed.


    "Boss, your mission is completed!"


    In Liverpool, The Sun was boycotted!


    The reason is that after the Massachusetts tragedy that year, the "Sun" fabricated facts to defame Liverpool fans, but Moyes still bought a copy of the "Sun".


    He wanted to see how the outside world commented on him, which is also human nature. He made some achievements and wanted some praise.


    But when he saw the report in The Sun, he tore the newspaper to pieces, and the whole person was lost!


    It seems that no matter what he does, he can''t get rid of the shadow of Aldridge!


    No way, who let in the Premier League, in England, Aldridge is the most dazzling protagonist.


    After ten rounds in the league, Chelsea won 9 games and 1 draw, Millwall was 7 points behind!


    The good news is that Millwall has started chasing points and shortening the gap, even if it is only 2 points, but it is very important for mental stimulation and morale.


    The next bad news is that Millwall¡¯s backup lineup suffered the last defeat of Meazza, the player¡¯s status has not been adjusted, and the rushing away for the veterans is relatively expensive, plus the opponents in the League Cup. Out of the iron bucket array, Millwall announced that he was eliminated in the third round of the League Cup!


    Aldrich didn''t care too much about this.


    Nedved and Larson did consume a lot of energy in the national team game. The Czech Republic and Sweden successfully advanced to the World Cup, and they cannot do without the courageous rush of the two veterans.


    For veterans, the recovery time is longer than that of young people, plus returning to the club to play an inexplicable UEFA Champions League game, and also lost, the state is inferior.


    Considering that the team will expedite the World Club Cup in December, the elimination of the League Cup may not be too bad for Millwall to prepare for this summer.


    Coincidentally, Chelsea are also out in the third round of the League Cup!


    It seems that they have put their energy in the league and the Champions League in a tacit understanding with Millwall. Both teams have their own considerations in the planning of the whole season. Chelsea is to deal with the main African Cup conscription in January, and Millwall is The schedule is tight.


    The 11th round of the Premier League at the end of October.


    Millwall and Chelsea both played at home and beat their respective opponents, Aston Villa and Blackburn.


    The two teams still maintain a gap of 7 points.


    In November, the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage arrived.


    Given that the bench lineup has lost two games in a row, in this Champions League, Aldridge intends to send the main lineup to maintain the density of one game a week in the past.


    It is not a special emphasis on the game against Inter Milan, let alone a revenge against Mancini, but Aldrich''s normal rotation strategy.


    But fans are very concerned about this game.


    Fans have never understood why.


    Why were Inter Milan fans punished for making trouble at home last season, so that fans from other clubs can''t go to watch the game away?


    The fans could not cheer for the team in the last Champions League game, which suffocated the fans.


    Coupled with the team''s failure to return, it further stimulated the fans to visit the home to cheer for the crazy lions in this game.


    Also stimulated was Inter Milan''s "King" Adriano.


    Aldrich is not an unknown soldier, what he said is always magnified. After Aldrich said that Adriano was not worthy of Millwall''s starting, Adriano made a series of remarks, but also felt that Not right.


    On the one hand, it claimed that he did not care what Aldridge said.


    On the other hand, before the expedition, he clamored for Millwall to suffer the first defeat of the European War at the Lion King Stadium, to prove that someone''s words were wrong!


    Mancini kept a low profile.


    He couldn''t help being low-key!


    Before defeating Millwall in the third round of the Champions League, Inter Milan trailed Juventus by 6 points in the Serie A standings. Juventus started with a **** seven-game winning streak. Inter Milan won 5 and lost 2 of which 1 loss was lost Juventus, but the difference is not too obvious, the league has just begun.


    But since defeating Millwall!


    Inter Milan lost three points in the third round!


    Lose at home, draw Sampdoria away!


    Juventus had a 9-game winning streak, the same as Chelsea in the Premier League, and the same thing is that they were terminated in the tenth round of the winning streak. The only difference is that Chelsea got a draw and Juventus lost. San Siro, gave 3 points to Inter Milan''s rival AC Milan.


    This is good, Inter Milan finished in ten rounds, 8 points behind Juventus, Juventus looks super stable and strong, and will only ask Inter Milan this season, only to win the league title, broken dream.


    In the process, Mancini''s mentality was ups and downs, and he had not been proud of defeating the European king Millwall led by Aldridge in a few days. As a result, the league encountered an embarrassment by Juventus.


    When no one was around, Mancini really wanted to roar in the sky: Lao Tzu is really a dog!


    Millwall is poisonous!


    Most of the teams that others beat the best are motivated by positive morale, and maybe aura of luck!


    Inter Milan **** did not overturn Millwall in the playoffs, especially the defeat for Millwall did not cause a turning point in the situation, and each of the other two opponents of the group scored a point of "both losses and injuries." Let Millwall maintain a good prospect of qualifying early.


    Mancini led the team to the Lion King Stadium, just want to pull a point, they also had to turn their focus back to the domestic arena, the next round will be a guest challenge to the Blue Eagles Lazio!


    Aldridge put up a strong team to greet Inter Milan, the two friendly handshake before the game, and then each command the team to fight.


    Adriano tried to further prove himself at the Lion King Stadium, but under the joint marking of the iron triangle of Nesta, Silva and De Rossi, the king of Meazza became a sick cat at the Lion King Stadium. No effect.


    Basically, only one point is needed to ensure that Inter Milan, who has advanced to the top 16, did not get it as expected!


    At least they didn''t get points.


    In the 27th minute of the game, when Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka and Henry made a triangle pass on the right from the frontcourt, after Cristiano Ronaldo completed a volley at the rib of the penalty area, Inter Milan failed to pull the score back. Because they did not score a goal in 90 minutes.


    Millwall continued his strong performance at home and beat Inter Milan 3-0.


    At the end of the game, Aldridge and Mancini once again shook hands friendlyly.


    The two had no personal grievances, and the match on the court was one win and one loss, and they both passed well.


    In addition, the Porto and Glasgow Rangers in the same group are really harmonious. Two back-to-back games, the two teams played two draws.


    After four rounds, Millwall and Inter scored 9 points, and the Glasgow Rangers and Porto only had 2 points.


    This caused Millwall and Inter Milan to qualify ahead of time!


    Aldridge is very happy with this result.


    Mancini was just a few more happy days. After the Champions League, he led his team back to Italy and was tied by Lazio in the eleventh round as a guest of Lazio!


    Juventus, won again.


    After 11 rounds, Inter Milan almost bid farewell to the title, because their gap with Juventus has been expanded to double digits: 10 points!


    Millwall is really poisonous!

 Chapter 1133： Vengeful man

    In the twelfth round of the Premier League, Millwall debuted and played against the London Derby. This time they challenged the farmer Fulham.


    Since the Champions League has already qualified in advance, there are no worries for the remaining two rounds of the Champions League group stage handed over to the bench, so Aldridge did not intend to carry out the main rotation in the league.


    But counting the last week''s league and midweek playing Inter Milan''s Champions League, Millwall''s main lineup is regarded as 7 days and 3 games. The terror dominance on the court has slightly decreased, and it was obtained by defeating Fulham at an affordable 1:0 on the road. After 3 points, he returned happily to East London.


    After playing the game first, Aldridge sat down with his friends to watch the live football match.


    At the weekend''s Premier League focus war, Chelsea made their final appearance. They will visit Old Trafford to challenge the Red Devils Manchester United.


    Although Chelsea had been tied before in Everton, the outside world was still shocked by Chelsea''s momentum. In the first 11 rounds, Chelsea scored 31 points, 10 wins and 1 draw!


    So even if Chelsea came to Old Trafford as a guest, they are still more optimistic in the eyes of the outside world.


    But after ninety minutes of war, Mourinho looked sour!


    1:0!


    The home team is ahead!


    Manchester United Lectra Chelsea at home!


    Break the undefeated golden body of the Blues league!


    "Hahaha, you should drink a glass of wine here!"


    In Andrew¡¯s private club in London City, Aldridge and a group of friends sat on the sofa and just watched the match between Manchester United and Chelsea. They all toasted to celebrate.


    After a glass of wine, Aldridge hugged Carter, turned his head up, and then lighted a cigarette. Carter turned to smile at Aldridge: "Half a month, chased 5 points! Oh, Chelsea really nervous. By the way, do you want to text Ferguson to congratulate him!"


    Aldridge breathed out a smog and smiled: "No, that''s too much. If Ferguson really saw me sending him such a text message, hehe, I''m afraid it would be a humiliation. It looks like Millwall regards Manchester United as Thug, hahaha...huh?"


    Aldridge finished, but he was stunned again.


    Carter was just a joke, but he did not expect to find Aldridge after a short absence, and he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and started writing congratulatory messages.


    He quickly reached out to hold Aldridge''s hand and smiled bitterly: "Hey, you know the truth, how do you return?"


    Aldrich pushed his hand away and said seriously: "No, no, truth is truth, human nature is human nature, I suddenly remembered it, and I should indeed send a text message to Ferguson to congratulate him for playing a wonderful game with his team the match of."


    Carter looked blank and asked, "What on earth does this mean?"


    "revenge!"


    Aldridge directly wrote the text after writing the message, then dropped the phone on the coffee table in front of him and then turned to Carter: "Let me think about it, ten years ago, yes, it was almost ten years ago, the summer of 1996 came Earlier, in the final stage of the Premier League that season, I led Millwall to successfully snipe the Newcastle United team led by Kevin Keegan. When I was sitting on the bus after the game, Ferguson, he sent me a Text message, congratulations on my victory! At that time, I responded with a tough text message to him: Millwall defeated Newcastle United, not to help Manchester United win the championship! This matter is inevitable, but you can imagine Ferguson at the time Mindset?"


    Carter rolled his eyes and nodded: "Do you think he treats you as his own class? Ha ha ha, you defeated Newcastle United, he came to praise you as if it were a reward to you?"


    Aldridge shrugged and said nothing, everyone said nothing.


    Ferguson quickly sent a text message to Aldridge. The old Scottish man hadn''t had time to celebrate the team''s overturn of Chelsea at home and was annoyed by Aldridge''s text message!


    "Aldrich, what does this **** text message mean? Don''t think the Premier League is the war between you and Mourinho! Manchester United is not out yet! My victory is not for you to praise!"


    "Hahahaha!"


    Aldridge laughed when he saw the text message from Ferguson.


    Manchester United has indeed not yet been out of the game, but the 12-round battle is not particularly good.


    7 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, with 24 points.


    Millwall 8 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, 27 points.


    Chelsea 10 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, 31 points.


    Three points behind Millwall and seven points behind Chelsea!


    But this is not a question of whether Manchester United is out.


    Aldridge smiled and wrote back to Ferguson with a smile.


    "Alex, return to your text message ten years ago!"


    After the text message was sent, Aldridge waited a long time, but Ferguson did not return the text message. Carter quickly asked: "What''s the matter? He''s angry? Still don''t understand what you are talking about?"


    Aldrich shook his head and smiled: "I don''t know. No matter, hehe."


    After about 10 minutes, Ferguson returned the news.


    "You are such a vengeful man!"


    After reading the text message, Aldridge laughed again.


    Remembrance is not another matter. At least, the current situation and the mentality of Millwall and Aldridge have changed a lot from ten years ago.


    It can even be said that Aldridge has reversed the situation with Ferguson ten years ago.


    Carter flipped through the Premier League schedule, poured Aldridge wine, and asked casually: "Look at the schedule behind Chelsea''s first half. Before encountering us, the hardest game should be playing Arsenal. We can Catch up with Chelsea before the Christmas War?"


    Aldridge leaned back on the sofa, and music was already playing in the hall at this time. Andrew, Brady, Saul, and others all took their female companions to dance. The card game next door also played billiards.


    He closed his eyes and replied: "This does not dare to conclude, um... but, should use this momentum to create more pressure on Chelsea!"


    After talking, Aldridge opened his eyes and leaned over to Carter.


    In half a month, Chelsea had 9 points from leading Millwall. After a draw and a defeat, they were chased by Millwall into 4 points!


    This is a huge pressure!


    It is necessary to grasp the timing by creating difficulties for the opponent through the outside.


    Previously, Aldridge just fanned the news at a press conference casually, and it was far from the time to really build momentum, because he thought the time had not come.


    At the time of Chelsea''s continuous winning streak and momentum, the more Audric said, it would only give the outside world an impression that he was red-eyed, but it will make Chelsea''s morale even higher!


    Look, the young man is in a hurry!


    Ask God to worship Buddha every day, I hope we lose!


    At this juncture, it is a good time.


    Carter asked curiously: "What are you thinking about again?"


    Aldridge blinked and said innocently: "I just used normal means. Hehe, you''re right. You didn''t say that I was insidious, and yes, compared to the practice of many teams in football, I''m clean. . How have you taken over the club¡¯s media resources?"


    Carter smiled and nodded, his face light and confident.


    As long as Ewen was still working at Millwall, Millwall''s private communication channel with the media was that she was in charge. This was not the control of the media, and that was simply impossible, because the benefits of news broadcasting were difficult to quantify It is impossible for Millwall to give the outside world enough interest to completely dominate press freedom.


    However, mutual cooperation can be established.


    For example, the Millwall Christmas **** scandal that was once full of buzz, and the media must report it when they heard the news.


    But before the news is broadcast, the Millwall Club will be notified in advance to avoid making Millwall suffer a sudden attack.


    And Millwall sometimes transfers information leaked in the market, in fact, it is the interest exchange that they actively disclose to the outside world.


    For example, when Aldridge approached Rome, several media outlets on Fleet Street broadcast the news a few hours in advance. In other words, Millwall would sign Nesta. It turned out that the news was correct. Fleet Street People in the circle understand that it is not these media that have great abilities, but their channel of information, which is inside Millwall.


    The brightest and most solemn cooperation was Aldridge¡¯s exclusive cooperation with the BBC after the World Cup. After winning the live broadcast, he will resign as the national team coach¡¯s interview. Although he did not leave his job in the end, the report gave the BBC huge profits. England The whole team of players rushed into the scene to jointly retain the audio and video records left by Audridge, which has become a classic picture in English football.


    Carter is a veteran in this regard, so after taking office, he first established good relations with several important media on Fleet Street to continue and strengthen the secret cooperation between the two sides.


    Last season Chelsea was bombarded by public opinion, and this layer of energy is reflected.


    Is this illegal?


    Free speech, don''t break the law!


    What ball critics write in the column is their freedom.


    There is no mandatory sale to readers.


    However, this is like a market maker in the financial market, and will use the media to mislead the public. God knows how many stock critics are the puppets of the banker!


    If last season when he encountered Chelsea, Aldridge wanted to "intimidate" Chelsea with public opinion, then today, he has to change the way.


    Not to mention playing a trick three times, playing two times may result in great difference.


    "Don''t Chelsea want to be the strongest in the world? Then, let''s make it the strongest in the world!"


    As soon as Aldridge''s voice fell, Carter also lighted a cigarette. After thinking for a while, he grasped it and asked softly, "Do you have confidence that Chelsea can''t hold it?"


    Aldrich pouted, said indifferently: "If I can resist, then I will lose my persuasion, but if I can''t bear it, hum... if you want to say faith, you ask me if you ask me, Millwall and Chelsea. "Do I have more confidence in Chelsea? That''s too much counsel!"


    Carter laughed, raised his glass and cried with Aldridge, and then drank each.


    Last season Millwall used the media to "intimidate" Chelsea.


    This season, it is ready to "catch" Chelsea!

 Chapter 1134： The Red Army returns!

    After Chelsea defeated Old Trafford, the trend of public opinion against Chelsea was not a downward trend in confidence, but rather complicated.


    Some media confirmed that Chelsea should be alert to Millwall behind him.


    There are also media to Chelsea atmosphere, encouraging Chelsea to forget the defeat and maintain the usual heart to play well in the subsequent games.


    However, many media have created an atmosphere of public opinion that "Chelsea lose is a good thing, which can make them shameful and courageous."


    In the next round, Chelsea will play against Newcastle United. In the middle of the week, the media will give Newcastle United an idea, and it is fair to let Newcastle United play the ultimate anti-reverse on the road, which is to use Aldridge to succeed in the World Cup. , 4321 anti-anti-tactics that made England football quite proud.


    Mourinho was surprised by the attention of the outside world!


    Logically speaking, although Chelsea had an unbeaten start in 11 rounds and had a horrible record of 10 wins and 1 draw, they should have decreased in attention after being ended by Manchester United in the 12 rounds, because Millwall was 9 points behind Excellent performance that shortened the gap to 4 points.


    In fact, Millwall is the most concerned king-level team in English football, but at this time, Chelsea is on the cusp of public opinion, and it has not been reduced because of their loss.


    There are many teams that have become the focus. Chelsea used to attract attention in the transfer market. Now, it seems that they have received enough recognition from the outside world.


    Mourinho knew that he would overthrow Millwall''s rule in English football, so when the honor really came, he personally put a rope ring on the neck of the crazy lion and hanged it. He watched the dead lion fall cold with his own eyes. I really laughed, sang songs and danced, and put on the crown under the spotlight!


    But now?


    Chelsea haven''t got anything yet!


    This is not good, the outside world pays too much attention, whether it is praised or degraded, the more topics, the more pressure it will put on Chelsea!


    At this stage, you must make a big fortune.


    But Mourinho can¡¯t control public opinion, and he doesn¡¯t know why Fleet Street is not willing to put Millwall on the headlines more, to discuss the phenomenon of Millwall. Perhaps it has been that in the past many years, Millwall has been It''s the center of the topic, people are tired of it.


    So Mourinho can only jump out of himself, let himself be the focus of the focus, use himself to separate the outside world from the inside of the team, reduce the pressure on the team.


    After a week of rest, Chelsea defeated Newcastle United 3-0 at Stamford Bridge and immediately ushered in a big victory after losing to Manchester United.


    This seems to confirm the positioning of Chelsea by many media on Fleet Street, thinking that Chelsea''s strength has reached a level that can absolutely shake the rule of Millwall, and some media are taunting Newcastle United, thinking that Magpie did not listen to "expert" suggestions, Eventually ended in fiasco!


    Millwall scored a small victory on the farmer in the last round, and the game looked unhappy.


    But in this round of the Premier League, they fired at the Lion King Stadium.


    Visited Blackburn swallowed 7 bullets!


    Millwall fired in three lines, and a terrible offensive fire broke out.


    These three lines are Ronaldinho on the left, Kaka in the middle and Ronaldo on the right instead of the front, middle and back lines.


    Ronaldinho not only scored twice and scored two goals, but also staged an assist hat trick. The fiery state was over.


    Ronaldo also scored two goals, Henry and Kaka scored one goal each, and the other goal was Alonso Jiangong.


    After slaughtering Blackburn, Millwall ushered in the fifth game of the Champions League group stage.


    Because it has been determined to advance to the top 16, sending the bench to play has no worries for the team.


    The Glasgow Rangers were slaughtered by Millwall at home and came away. Coach McLeish said that he would not dare to face Millwall hard. It would be naive to think about the strategy in September.


    The Glasgow Rangers in the iron barrel formation successfully got a draw at the Lion King Stadium, and Millwall''s backup lineup broke through the intensive defense or lacked fire.


    In the same group, Inter Milan beat Porto at home, which made Inter Milan''s ranking rise to the first in the group.


    Porto and Glasgow Rangers are competing for the third place in the UEFA Cup. It now appears that the Glasgow Rangers lead by one point.


    After the Champions League battle, returning to the Premier League, Chelsea had some advantages in the schedule after the previous round of the Champions League. They can always rest for a day or two to play in the league, but after this round of the European War, Chelsea''s game started. .


    They were visiting Portsmouth, they broke a lot of upsets, and were tied by the Portsmouth iron bucket array!


    Millwall staged the focus war this round and faced the Liverpool Reds at home.


    Aldridge smiled when he greeted the club staff, so that his colleagues could clearly feel the joy of the young coach.


    However, when he met the players, Aldridge became serious, to avoid letting his happiness be transmitted to the players, and became slack.


    Benitez led his team to the Lion King Stadium. Liverpool''s goal this season is more pragmatic, and strive to return to the Champions League!


    Even in the UEFA Cup, they have weakened their input as defending champions.


    After all, after winning the UEFA Cup last season, Benitez''s first year was an account for the fans, but he has not been in the Champions League for a long time, which is not tolerated by traditional giants.


    Liverpool are definitely unable to touch the championship in the league, but the ranking is always in the upper stream, closely following the championship group, the goal is that at the end of the season, the team can stay in the Champions League qualification zone.


    After the break-in at the beginning of the season, Liverpool''s combat effectiveness has been improved to a certain extent, Benitez took over the team''s transformation strategy, it seems that the call to old will be the main means.


    Among the key recruits this season, the position of the midfielder is the most critical. With Henjoz being sold, Harman is aging, Liverpool¡¯s once unshakable 3H rear defense triangle has become history, and the new main midfielder will be Benitet. Si served in Mohammed Sissoko, the old department of Valencia.


    The Carrick he introduced last season was a player he had met when working at Millwall, Luis Garcia, a Barcelona youth player, and Benitez returned to Spain. An old minister who tried a sabre in Tenerife.


    At the same time, the Spanish goalkeeper Reina, who is better than Casillas in the mouth of Villarreal coach Pellegrini, was also introduced in the goalkeeper position.


    Liverpool¡¯s investment in the past many years has not been low, but the people who bought it always felt that it was a piece of the east and the west was not targeted enough. Eventually, the investment in the transfer market showed low efficiency.


    After Benitez took office, the targeted recruitment in the transfer market was clear at a glance. In the second year of his coaching, the team''s overall framework has been stabilized and its strength has risen steadily, although it cannot compare with Millwall for more than ten years. The details of the step-by-step construction are no match for Chelsea''s arrogance to spend a lot of money seeking success, but Liverpool''s confidence in letting fans fall to the bottom is gradually picking up.


    Aldridge and Benitez met at the Lion King Stadium. The two shook hands amicably and spent a short time chatting and talking.


    The players of the two teams stepped out of the player channel and were ready to play.


    "The progress of the Premier League this season has somewhat deviated from our original expectations. It was thought that the strong and stable Millwall will widen the gap with competitors from the beginning of the league, but Chelsea''s 9-game winning streak has started amazingly, and once was very good. For a long time, the gap of 9 points from Millwall has been kept away, but this gap has changed in the past month. Millwall has won and won, Chelsea has started to lose points. As of now, Chelsea is 5 points ahead of Millwall, But Millwall missed one game. After today¡¯s game, if Millwall can win, then Millwall will once again narrow the gap with Chelsea, that will be a gap of 2 points, a goal Can change everything!"


    "Liverpool have also performed well recently. They are ranked fourth in the league. Liverpool led by Benitez has improved significantly in recent times, and similar to Millwall, both Liverpool and Millwall have invested their energy in the European war. What you can do is to ensure that you can qualify, and the degree of attention is obviously reduced. It is understandable that Millwall was too much ahead of Chelsea in the league, and Liverpool will strive to break into the Champions League next season!"


    "Oh, judging from the current strength comparison between the top teams in the Premier League, the competition for the Champions League qualification is very brutal. The three teams are the hottest champions. According to their strength, Millwall is the strongest, Chelsea is a little bit, and the hope of winning the championship is the least. It¡¯s Manchester United, and then the Champions League qualification competition. Although Manchester United is dangerous, the problem of guaranteeing the Champions League qualification should not be too big. It may be a very cruel competition to compete for a place between Liverpool and Arsenal. At this stage, Arsenal It¡¯s too far behind, they have lost too many in the league! And it¡¯s just a terrible performance in the strong dialogue! Liverpool should seize this opportunity, although today it is against Millwall, but if they can take one here Points, maybe it will be a very important and valuable point for the standings at the end of the season!"


    "Okay, let''s look at the starting lineup of both sides.


    Millwall, who played at home, started 433.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Nesta, Silva, Ram.


    Midfielders: De Rossi, Alonso, Nedved.


    Forwards: C Ronaldo, Villa, Ronaldinho.


    In the last match against Blackburn, Kaka suffered a slight injury in the second half. The game was suspended. Henry was suddenly uncomfortable in training before the game today. Sir Hall put him on the bench for insurance reasons. .


    Liverpool started 4231.


    Goalkeeper: Reina.


    Defenders: Finnan, Carragher, Hypia, Lisse.


    Midfielders: Garcia, Sissoko, Carrick, Gerrard, Kewell.


    Forward: Owen.


    Benitez sent the strongest lineup. Obviously he was not willing to lose here for the second consecutive year. With the improvement of Liverpool''s strength, Liverpool as the traditional giants with the most championships in the English Premier League, their confidence seems to be back. The loss to Millwall in the European Super Cup made them very unwilling. Many players in the team after the game expressed that they would score with Milwall in the league! Okay, here is the opportunity today to see how they can perform at Lion King Stadium! "

 Chapter 1135： Fast break

    Benitez, who sits on the coach of the visiting team of the Lion King Stadium, is still that unsmiling style.


    He returned to England and came to the Premier League to coach Liverpool without the qualification for the Champions League. It has not been described as a step backward by the media. In fact, the presence of Aldridge in the Premier League makes it a matter of course for many excellent coaches to go to the Premier League.


    Aldridge is a great stepping stone!


    If this can end Aldridge''s rule and overturn the mad lion dynasty, this great achievement is enough to make a coach''s status rise to the peak of contemporary football!


    But Benitez also understands the unreasonable truth and wants to end Millwall in the short term, which is unlikely.


    However, he wants to reshape Liverpool''s temperament, confidence, and inner quality in key battles!


    Coming to the Lion King Stadium, it''s hard to say that this is a simple competition between him and Aldridge, and the more important thing is the posture polish.


    Liverpool can''t tremble in the majestic lion''s majesty like in the past, but must stand up the spine, dare to talk directly with Millwall directly, and make the heart beat more powerful!


    The Red Army came here, not to seek perfection, and to take away one point would be satisfied.


    Benitez doesn''t even care about the score!


    In the league''s long-distance running, Liverpool''s "endurance" and "bench thickness" are not enough to support them to compete with Millwall and Chelsea in the short term.


    What Benitez wants is spiritual quality, what he wants is the quality of the game, the score, that is just the result, something that is not the first important thing relative to this period.


    In Liverpool today, the lineup structure is very similar to Millwall.


    The back line is not to talk about. The 4 back has become an international mainstream. It is well established that the midfield line configuration, defensive midfielder, organized midfielder, assault midfielder, Sissoko, Carrick, Gerrard, and Millwall The roles of Drossi, Alonso, and Nedved are almost the same.


    But at the forefront of the formation, Millwall used 3 forwards, Liverpool could not achieve the most extreme offensive, the winger needs to take more care of the defense, so the position retreats, can also be said to be a winger, can also be said to be a winger Avant-garde.


    From the first minute, the game of crazy lions and the Red Army showed a big scene of opening and closing together!


    Just after the opening, Cristiano Ronaldo cut the ball to the middle of the goal after breaking through Risel on the side. Hepia turned back and put a shovel to prevent the ball from rolling to Villa''s foot. Get out of the line!


    There was a sound of exclamation in the stands.


    Hypia didn''t change color after getting up, and had no effect on his mentality, as if he was very confident in his tackle tackle.


    Two minutes later, Liverpool counterattacked. Carrick and Gerrard made an excessive back-and-forth pass in the middle, and then Carrick divided the ball to the right. Garcia made an inbound pass and Ram thought he was going hard. , I did not expect this to be an illusion, Garcia passed the ball to Gerald in the middle, and then quickly ran towards behind Ram, Gerald did not dare to control the ball when De Rossi came up to defend, and went straight out. The ball, straight between Seram and Silva.


    Garcia made a cross before the bottom line on the right side of the penalty area.


    Irving didn''t take off in front of the goal, Nesta''s marking on him was in place, but the ball was not passed to the middle of the goal, but at the back point!


    Kewell almost outstriped the spot at the back point. Fortunately, the experienced Schneider followed him closely, stunned to block Kewell with his body and then jumped to clear the header!


    Millwall also quickly counterattacked, Alonso passed the ball to Ronaldinho, who directly passed the long pass!


    There is not much room for Villa to advance forward. Ronaldinho''s pass needs to be very accurate. Although Ronaldinho''s pass is almost perfect, there are still some errors. Villa will rush into the penalty area in an anti-offside When touching the ball, Reina already rushed out!


    Villa couldn''t stop the ball, he could barely shoot the ball to the goal with his toes, but Reina was almost in front of him, spreading his arms to expand the defensive area, the ball hit Reina''s shoulder and flew into the air, Reina No worries, turn around and wait for the ball to fall, easily put the ball in your arms.


    Villa turned back to the direction of Ronaldinho''s thumb, if Reina reacted more slowly and abandoned the goal and was not decisive enough, maybe this ball Villa will have a chance of a single-handed ball very easily.


    Perhaps, Reina has also been improving himself in these years.


    When he was abandoned by Barcelona, ??it was the era of Van Gaal. Van Gaal abandoned him on the grounds that Valdes''s scope of activity was greater than that of Reina!


    Aldridge looked thoughtful on the sidelines.


    In terms of strength, Millwall is definitely stronger than Liverpool.


    However, as can be seen from the scene details, Liverpool used reasonable tactics to compress the strength of the two teams.


    The overall pace of the Premier League in these years is getting faster and faster, and the team''s physical strength has gradually become a major feature in European football.


    Many teams play the Premier League team, regardless of whether the tactics are reasonable and the state of the players. The horror rhythm rate of the shuttle back and forth by the Premier League is scared!


    This is also the foundation for the Premier League team to become a top group in UEFA during this period!


    However, a few years later, when the top teams of other leagues also strengthened their physical fitness, or adapted to the rhythm, or controlled in other ways, afterwards, the Premier League team was tactically rigid, and the shortcomings of excessive pursuit of speed were exposed again, becoming the Premier League team in the An important reason for the decline of European status.


    Benitez took over the team last season to this season, and the transformation effect began to have a substantial return. On the one hand, the team''s physical fitness, and second, the sensitivity to the game rhythm.


    Although the roles of the two teams are similar, there is still a difference in use. Like Millwall¡¯s wing, the winger and the defender attack are more obvious, while Liverpool is the most forward and defender. The full-back is afraid to attack the frontcourt.


    Therefore, such a picture is often seen in the game.


    When Millwall attacked Liverpool at halftime, Millwall was at least 5 players to play Liverpool at least 7 players, space is tight.


    And when Liverpool hit a counterattack fast attack, they pushed the attack through half, it is the defense system of three or four players playing Millwall is also about four players, the space is relatively large.


    This is the biggest difference between the main attack and the counterattack, and the advantages and disadvantages of the space conditions are reflected.


    Therefore, the two teams played passionately, attacking and defending quickly.


    The test of Liverpool is the ability of individual soldiers. Their wide-open attack style is often that the winger or midfielder Gerrard can break through the past, and the offensive situation is extremely beneficial to them.


    The test of Millwall is the delicate skills and cooperation of a small team. After all, the space is relatively small, and the opponents have more defensive players, so they have more elaborate offense requirements.


    Liverpool first played a threatening offense. In the 17th minute, Kewell took advantage of Schneider''s assist to go up and the attack was not successful. In turn, he rushed forward on this road, which can be said to be the most favorable direction for the offensive and defensive conversion to grab the attack. Benitez had undergone key deployment before the game, Carrick or Gerald, offensive mobilization and offensive transfer in the game, it was all "blazing blood"!


    Kewell took the ball and quickly pushed the attack to the side of Millwall''s penalty area. His timing of passing the ball was very good. He kept adjusting the ball and kept Nesta and Silva''s body retreating. Suddenly cross, but also to the rear of the middle road, the two center defenders braked and rushed out again, definitely too late!


    De Rossi predicted that the landing point was correct, but he also had to adjust the body''s center of gravity, but Gerald stepped into the rhythm of the pace and grasped well when he rushed up after the jump, and jumped directly to the top of the ball!


    This header from the penalty spot is more like a volley!


    And the angle of the goal that the ball flies to is also slightly tricky!


    Aldridge almost closed his eyes and was ready to listen to the celebration of Liverpool players, because as time went on, he became more and more uneasy about Bout, and Palyuka retired soon, at the age of 39 next month, indeed can not hope .


    But this time, Bout made an amazing save. He rushed to the right side of the goal and touched the ball with the tip of his right finger at the extreme save distance!


    The ball was slightly refracted, and then, bang!


    The bottom line popped out of the goal post!


    Gerald was kneeling in the Millwall restricted area with an incredible look!


    This is the best opportunity since Liverpool opened!


    "OMG! Bout made a world-class save! He rejected Gerald''s must-go goal! Look, Bennets, who has been immobile like a sculpture on the coach''s seat, has changed his expression, it is difficult Describe his expression at the moment, not like anger, loss, regret!"


    Yes, Benitez should be sorry and disappointed, but he thought about it, he should be happy to have such a performance. After all, he wants the quality of the game and needs Liverpool to play the momentum of the Red Army!


    Can''t be too demanding!


    If it is against ordinary opponents, of course, he will have other emotions, but playing Millwall, can play such an offense, he should be satisfied, although he will still be restrained, will not write psychological performance on his face.


    Butt saved Gerald''s very threatening shot, which made the atmosphere of the Lion King Stadium rise sharply, and there was applause at the scene.


    Others may think it''s nothing.


    Aldridge was in a state of ups and downs, which was a false alarm.


    In fact, the ball just now was considered to be super-level play by Bout, which was a big challenge for the top goalkeeper, but Bout completed such a save.


    Before switching, Aldridge would not worry, he would enter if he was entered, and would not blame the goalkeeper, but if Bout saved it, it was a small surprise.


    This is Bout''s occasional good performance on the basis of stability.


    But now, with the hidden danger of his instability, he seems to have subconsciously determined that he cannot perform super-level play. This is a wrong psychological reaction, but there is no way to control it.


    It would be great if he didn¡¯t have occasional low-level mistakes. Aldrich didn¡¯t always have to think about the position of a goalkeeper in his heart. He had to have headaches from time to time, and he had to dispel the thoughts from time to time, as if there were ants crawling around in his heart. Itchy and uncomfortable...

 Chapter 1136： Kill me? punishment!

    Liverpool''s fast break almost broke Millwall''s city, forcing Aldridge to show his cards in advance!


    Usually speaking on the court, it definitely refers to the player, such as a top player sitting on the bench. When the situation is not good or needs to change, this player appears, that is, the card is shown, and there is also a specific player. The player has the effect of a soldier.


    However, Aldridge''s hole card is not always a certain player. If the player is used as the hole card, this is too conspicuous. All the players in Millwall''s first team, Mo said that their opponents are well-known, and even the audience fans, many of them can be treasured. Blurted out.


    His hole card is technical and tactical.


    Millwall''s midfield and offensive offense this season is "backward tactics", which is simpler and more straightforward, cutting off the tedious and oppressive offensive mode, more straightforward, and pursuing the highest efficiency of a single kill.


    On this basis, there is still room to play!


    This is also the focus of Millwall training in the last month.


    Originally this game was to be put out for a trial test, because the opponent is relatively strong, if you play the weak team, you don''t need to think so much, just follow the normal way of playing.


    Aldrich''s plan is to change his moves in the second half, but today''s game, Liverpool''s posture on the court clearly deviated from expectations.


    Don¡¯t look at Gerald¡¯s goal, but the morale of Liverpool is greatly improved!


    They may think that Liverpool just lost some luck, work harder, work harder, maybe they will succeed in one battle!


    Aldridge couldn''t help but Benitez came to the Premier League with ambitious attempts to kill the king!


    Is he sitting still?


    Yes, unchanged, Millwall is still better than Liverpool!


    But if I don¡¯t give you a little shock, I even insert the knife into your heart to make you feel uncomfortable, and I watch my blood flow out!


    So, is my king too lacking domineering?


    Going to Highbury and bullying Arsenal, half of the doll soldiers, with bruises and bruises. At his door, if he can''t pick up the Red Army Liverpool, he may not be able to fight the next time. Is Liverpool going to turn the sky?


    Here, no outsiders are allowed to let go!


    Aldrich made a gesture on the sidelines, and a slight smile was drawn in the corner of his mouth, like a wave of ripples, showing a cruel and brutal!


    After the Millwall players saw Aldridge''s gestures, the players looked at each other, each grasping their own feelings, and the synchronized rhythm began to adjust.


    During the offense, they first became a bit confused, and they felt out of tune. They were completely individualistic, and they couldn''t play together among teammates!


    However, after 5 minutes of coordination and coordination on the court, such confusion gradually disappeared. Eventually, the successful offensive effect began to appear in front of Aldridge.


    In the 29th minute of the game, De Rossi took the ball from the center and back, which was a big step meteor in front of the penalty area. It was like a small tank to move towards the center and front court!


    The Liverpool players are ignorant!


    They were used to Millwall midfield commander Alonso playing cards in the first 30 minutes or so, and sorted out the front and rear connection.


    De Rossi is obviously a wild tough guy. Should you play this kind of dribbling propulsion?


    Most of them were watching Alonso, and Drossi drew the ball forward to get a little distracted.


    That was obviously dangerous, but he did just that!


    When De Rossi took the ball to halftime, the Liverpool players reacted and rushed to chase him down.


    De Rossi closed when he was good, and quickly passed the ball to Ronaldinho.


    Ronaldinho kicked the ball and played a poor rhythm. The defensive attention of the Liverpool players shifted from De Rossi back to Ronaldinho, and everything was back to normal.


    Is it normal?


    Next, the track of the small compass belt caught the Liverpool players off guard!


    Carrick passed by in the middle, throwing away Gerrard, and dribbling the ball to the right in front of Sissoko!


    Carrick was blocked by Ronaldinho''s route to the left and forward. Gerrard chased back to make up for the middle road. He did not expect Ronaldinho to go to the right. Sisoko was embarrassed. He wanted to block the middle road. , Unexpectedly Ronaldinho continued to take the ball to the right.


    Ronaldinho, like a sharp knife, made a cut in Liverpool formation diagonally from the left midfield!


    In fact, this is no stranger!


    If you move his trajectory forward 20 yards in parallel, everyone is familiar!


    That''s how the Ronaldinho Corridor cut into the penalty area and smashed into the penalty area.


    But now?


    Ronaldinho left to right, but the position is in front of the restricted area, has not yet entered the restricted area.


    However, on his left, Liverpool''s midfield defense has turned upside down!


    At this time, Ronalce and Villa ran in the middle of the penalty area. Sissoko had to chase Ronaldinho, but Ronaldinho pushed the ball back behind Sissoko, and behind him, he passed in front of him. !


    Nedved!


    When Sissoko lost his position, almost the entire defensive line lost his barrier!


    Liverpool Fennan''s side defense quickly recovered into the penalty area, but it was still a bit late!


    Because Millwall players in the penalty area have occupied a favorable position!


    The most embarrassing thing for the full-backs is that they are defended in the penalty area, but they are facing the back or side of the offensive player. It is too difficult to harass from the rear. As long as the offense player has a shooting angle, he can almost ignore the full-back.


    Nedvide kicked the ball into the penalty area and started to block him when Carragher started to gently kick the ball behind Carragher. Behind Villa, Finnan came back, but he could not stop Billy Sub-shot.


    Hypia is very experienced, he is staring at Ronaldo!


    But at this time, Hypeia could only watch Villa, five yards away, easily shoot!


    A volley kicked out!


    The stands of the Lion King Stadium are boiling!


    Villa ran to the side and knelt passionately!


    "The goal has been scored! Villa made the first record for Millwall! Millwall played a lot of players in the attacking frontcourt. Ronaldinho disrupted Liverpool''s defensive system with his personal ability. Nedved It was also impressive to calmly divide the ball and assist after the timely insertion. Villa broke the goal with a vigorous volley! Reina did not respond, he did not make a save and was completely unresponsive, that is A shot closer to the goal than the penalty spot!"


    "No, no, there is another person who must remember the merits! De Rossi, he took the ball from the front of the penalty area to the midfield, which is called the virtuoso daring! But he is thick and thin, he is not like some brains. The player who drew the ball in the backcourt went to the black like that until he was intercepted by the opponent and then hit counterattack. Prepared to pass the ball quickly, and his contribution is to create more space for Ronaldinho¡¯s next wonderful performance that will allow the audience to stand up and applaud! He has attracted many Liverpool defensive players. attention!"


    Benitez got up from the seat and walked to the side of the court, his expression was serious and silent, his eyes very dignified!


    In fact, he is a master of calculation. He can understand many variables that are not visible to the naked eye.


    And Aldridge knows him very well, so in the game, if there is no unexpected means, maybe luck is worse, Benitez will be able to control the game invisible!


    Benitez was puzzled. He looked at Aldridge subconsciously and said in his mind: Is this accidental or inevitable?


    If it is determined to be inevitable, Benitez''s heart is really cool!


    At the same time, he will also pay tribute to Aldridge and admire this friend even more.


    Those who have not stayed inside Millwall and witnessed the internal landscape cannot understand how powerful Millwall''s tactical discipline is!


    That is just like the original "Constitution of the United States" permanently preserved in the Washington National Archives.


    The players who improvise on the field must have got Aldridge''s approval. Otherwise, Aldridge''s anger will be aroused. The lightest end will also be considered into the cold wall for a while!


    Like De Rossi, he can control the ball in the midfield and backcourt. One of the duties of the midfielder is to be able to control the ball, don''t panic! He can also come forward to answer, pass a kick to make a response point, or even go forward for a long shot, and then step forward, as a hidden offensive point to enter the restricted area and fight for the header!


    Benitez can think of these.


    But what the **** are you doing to advance the ball from the dangerous zone to the midfield?


    Who allowed you to do this?


    Millwall can do this, but even if it is not Alonso, it should be a wing with a lower relative risk factor. Ram, Schneider can all take the ball forward from the backcourt!


    De Rossi, why do you do this?


    Benitez already has the answer in his mind, but he needs to further verify, by observing the situation of the next game to backstep as a basis for judgment.


    Because he cares more about whether this is the development of Aldridge''s new tactics.


    Some players with good technical ability will always improvise on the court.


    But improvisation has a very important factor for the team. Is your teammate cooperating with you? Can I understand you!


    There are many geniuses who are not true to their name, and their improvisation on the court is completely disruptive!


    No matter whether it is a breakthrough or a dribbling, unless you are in a dragon to perform a miracle, then you will often find that the process is very beautiful. When the curtain call came, these days I found that I was isolated and I couldn¡¯t find my teammates around me. To the goal, he was caught in the encirclement by his opponent.


    and then?


    Is the teammate unable to keep up with his rhythm, or does the teammate distrust him?


    If the teammate does not know him, then he improvises, how does the teammate know when his performance will end, and where will he take the ball? When will he stop to observe?


    So like Ronaldinho¡¯s impromptu play, it must be allowed by Aldrich and is familiar to teammates, with psychological preparation and teamwork. Otherwise, it will never be when Ronaldinho crosses the ball laterally through the half. Wall''s offensive formation not only has no self-disruption, but all offensive players are in a favorable position, so that the offense can not only continue, but also the situation from complex to simple, easier to open the door to victory!


    Benitez is afraid of it. If it is true that Aldridge has fine-tuned the enthusiasm of existing techniques and tactics, Millwall''s combat effectiveness will be improved again!


    If this is the case, what is the king to overthrow?

 Chapter 1137： Kick as you want

    Benitez focused on reshaping Liverpool''s inner spiritual temperament, which made Liverpool "emotional" during this period, lacking thickness and reason.


    The Red Army is like a wounded beast, full of anti-counterfeiting passion, eliminating negative effects, at least it makes them look completely different from the past.


    But the disadvantage is this, it is easier to make loopholes in the back defense!


    Nearly 40 minutes in the first half, Millwall again scored in a way that caught Benitez and Liverpool by surprise.


    Ram dribbled from the backcourt to the middle when he was about to pass halftime. After attracting the opponent, he suddenly passed the ball diagonally to the right. Ronaldo strode the ball to the middle after striking the ball. Millwall The injury of Liverpool''s overall defensive formation with these two swords diagonally shocked Liverpool''s army!


    What kind of play is this?


    Have you given up on the sidewalk?


    Cristiano Ronaldo passed the ball to Ronaldinho after attracting at least three opponents. The latter decisively made a forefront attack and handed the ball to Villa. Villa backed the heel in the penalty area and the defender line Liverpool, whose predecessor turned back, lost Nedved.


    The blonde God of War laughed at the big gift from Nabilia, hit the ball with a heavy shot and sent the ball into Liverpool''s goal!


    "Nedved helped Millwall expand his lead! Andy, do you think the scene is very chaotic?"


    "Yeah, it''s chaotic! But look closely, it''s Liverpool, Millwall knows what they are doing! When Ram dribbles diagonally to the centre, Alonso''s position caused Liverpool''s defensive chaos, C When Ronaldo also took the ball diagonally from the right to the middle, Carrick and Sissoko missed each other. They didn''t know who to mark. Ronaldinho hadn''t touched the ball yet. Gerrard, Finnan, Cissot Ke, Carrick, these four points are rushing in the direction of Ronaldinho. As a result, Ronaldinho made a goal, and Villa pulled out a deep space in the forefront of the front line. Let the Liverpool defender line and the midfield completely open the space, do it properly, send the ball to the foot of Nedved, Nedved scores! Millwall''s offensive players have played a role, but Liverpool''s defense has It''s a mess!"


    Nedved is enjoying the cheers of the fans, this is the most wonderful moment he enjoys football today.


    Benitez was stunned on the sidelines.


    He confirmed.


    Millwall ushered in an "enhanced upgrade" after simplification of tactics!


    Aldridge smiled with his arms around his chest.


    How to play football?


    As long as you follow the rules, kick as you want!


    Jump out of the tactical framework, in fact football is free!


    As Aldridge suggested in the past training courses for Millwall¡¯s internal coaches: we can analyze the classic technical and tactical formation and learn the essence, but don¡¯t be limited to our thinking and fall into stereotypes. In your thinking mode, if you think carefully that the last four strikers can greatly increase your probability of winning, why not? What is crazy in the eyes of others does not necessarily mean that you are going crazy.


    Use a simple example to describe the core of Aldridge''s tactical fine-tuning.


    There are many teams on the football field that will pass the ball back from the center to the backcourt. Why should they pass back?


    There are different reasons for different situations.


    Maybe it is because there is no outgoing spot in front and you need to control the scene. Then returning the ball can ensure that the ball is at the foot, reshape the offensive situation and wait for a better chance to appear.


    Perhaps it was found that the opponent was very frizzy, returning the ball, maybe it could attract the opponent to take the initiative to force out, revealing the empty space behind him, and then from the midfield and backcourt, a straight pass, maybe the comparison of the number of offense and defense and the size of the space, this is the return Subtle changes have taken place after Chuan He''s forward pass.


    The problem is coming?


    You can pass the ball back, why not bring it back?


    This is very rare, or can''t you see it at all?


    Few players will run the ball back over a long distance, over 30 yards!


    But can this be done?


    why not? of course can!


    Imagine that Ronaldinho controlled the ball on the sidelines of the frontcourt, there was no breakthrough space in front, the passing point was blocked, he turned the ball and ran to the backcourt, what effect would it produce?


    Most opponents will be dumbfounded?


    What is he going to do?


    Can''t guess!


    Yes, at this moment, the opponent''s thinking will turn unexpectedly!


    Because Ronaldinho''s behavior violated the rules!


    As for why no one on the court takes the ball back for a long distance, there can be a wide range of back passes. There is only one reason. Passing is more efficient than passing the ball!


    It is conceivable that if Ronaldinho took the ball back to run, how much physical energy would it take, and how much would it cost to run again? There is also the time required to dribble the ball, which, despite creating an impact on the opponent''s mind, also gives the opponent enough buffer and time to adjust.


    Therefore, it is absolutely mainstream to advance on the football field, and one of the purposes is also to give the opponent no reaction time as much as possible.


    Force the opponent to follow the first response to make a decision. Once this decision is wrong, it will become a breakthrough for the attacker.


    Millwall''s footing to make reasonable tactical changes based on the ability of players on the field during this period is: ball control and dribbling ability!


    Ronaldinho, Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, these are players who have a single line to explode opponents'' defense line!


    But going straight, the side road is on the side road, and the middle road goes all the way to black. This is too easy to be predicted, that is, the regular kick!


    The only difference is that Ronaldinho''s breakthrough ability is stronger than Larson and more efficient than Glennshire. However, in the overall situation, it will not cause too many impacts on opponents. It is nothing more than how many people are used to fill it. That''s it.


    But now, Aldridge''s tactical change is based on the player''s impact on the opponent''s defense system!


    In the European battlefield based on tactics, the meaning of formation represents more responsibility in the defensive area. Offensive players can run disorderly, forwards can go to the midfield, left can go to the middle, go to the right, midfield Can strike forward, but what about defense? The tightness of the defense is that if the full-back is not on the side, and the central defender rushes forward or is too far away from his partner, then this defensive system will lose its tightness and will be blown away by the opponent''s pass.


    It is also based on this point that Millwall''s offense is based on the idea of ??breaking the opponent''s habitual counterpoint marking and regional defense.


    When Ronaldinho leaves the left-wing position, what should the opponent''s full-back do?


    When Ronaldinho brought the ball to the middle, but Nedved did not change positions with him, what would be the pressure on the opponent''s defense?


    Especially when the opponent can''t steal the ball under Ronaldinho''s feet and see Ronaldinho passing through his own defense zone, but he is not going directly to the restricted zone, what should he do?


    This series of unconventional shock effects are forcing opponents to make choices in a very short time!


    Especially when Millwall is not dominated by one person alone, the opponent''s defensive system will be shattered by Millwall''s ball-driving player''s seemingly unconventional dribbling trajectory!


    First of all, they will be in chaos.


    In fact, this is also a kind of progress and sublimation of modern winger flow.


    When Ronaldinho''s dribbling shot in the wing made it difficult for the opponent to prevent, and Robben cut in the right to make the opponent unable to keep up with the rhythm, this is itself an unconventional dribbling trajectory and offensive routine compared to before. Now, Millwall is applying this kind of routine that appears on the front line of the offensive end to the back, and it is a tactical operation that is planned to be implemented by the team in tacit agreement, rather than a single individual performance!


    Benitez confirmed Millwall''s changes and roughly understood what Millwall was playing.


    But he has nothing to do, he can¡¯t help it!


    Millwall doesn''t have to chew on the old book, keep pace with the times, and continue to insist on the internal transformation of advancing strengths and avoiding shortcomings. Aldridge''s style of controlling the team is the same as before, that is, to maximize the characteristics of the players!


    What they are best at, then take this to the extreme.


    This is also the key direction of Millwall''s fine-tuning without changing the frame in the post-Pirlo era.


    When there are more talented players, it is necessary to exert their best ability, but in the end it is necessary to give them a shackle to avoid "out of control".


    Liverpool fell behind by two goals before the end of the first half. Although the players were somewhat hit, they all calmed down. They planned to wait and wait until the second half. At least when the midfield is adjusted, I hope Benitez can play the coach''s schedule. Adjust their abilities and help them find ways to restrain Millwall.


    Benitez doesn''t have many good ways. Millwall will use brute force to crush you blatantly, bullying people without blushing, and he will not pretend to be a gentleman.


    At the beginning of the second half, Aldridge watched the game for 5 minutes on the sidelines and laughed angrily.


    Benitez **** bus!


    This is the simplest and lasting solution!


    When you don¡¯t know how to limit your opponent¡¯s offense, simply use more players to fill the space in the penalty area. The weak team can use this trick, the strong team can also use it!


    However, after putting the bus, the physical energy consumption for Liverpool will be more serious, because they retract, meaning that the distance from Millwall''s goal is also farther, and the attack will come back again. This round-trip running distance has been expanded a lot.


    Liverpool resisted stubbornly for 20 minutes, then a fatal counterattack quickly broke out, and Benitez also worked hard in the counterattack.


    Using Irving as a decoy to pull to the side, attracting Millwall''s central defender to leave the zone a little, and then use the other winger inward as a hidden attack point.


    This counterattack was very beautiful, decisive, fierce and fatal in one blow!


    Owen took the ball to the right of the frontcourt, and the attack advanced to the front of the penalty area and passed to Gerrard. At this time, Garc¨ªa Nec¨¦e became the first attack point, which restrained Silva and affected Nesta''s judgment. .


    Gerrard passed the ball to Kewell, who also followed in the back row. Kewell slanted into the penalty area and opened Nesta. After a volley, the ball was sent into the upper left corner of the goal. Liverpool was in difficulty. Pull back one in the counterattack!


    This is a golden goal, although it did not make Liverpool tie the score, but it has a crucial impact on the morale and confidence of the Red Team!

 Chapter 1138： Strong reversal

    Liverpool''s "emotionality" broke out because of this goal, and morale increased, maybe not because of the final result of the game, maybe the players will not think about it on the court, they want to play at the Lion King Stadium with a new attitude Challenge the king, even if you fail, you have to rip off the lion''s skin!


    This is the change of spiritual temperament.


    But the reality is cruel, Liverpool dare to give Millwall enough offensive space, then Millwall will never turn a blind eye.


    In the 80th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo staged his most exciting long-distance attack of the season. After starting from the right midfield position, he directly broke through three players in the middle of the road. After he stepped into the big penalty area, he kicked the goal kick Enter Liverpool''s goal.


    At this time, he was able to stage such a goal, and he was too concerned about the positions of Nedved, Villa, Ronaldinho and others when defending him. I was afraid that they would lose their position after rushing to intercept Ronaldo. The chain reaction was the foreshadowing of the continuous offensive before Millwall, which blossomed in the final period of the game.


    The score of 3:1 was maintained until the end of the game.


    Most of Liverpool players'' expressions when the referee blew the whistle were mostly unwilling, leaving with a sigh of resentment.


    The slightly irritable pair, but the apparently stubborn head away left Aldridge thoughtful.


    In this era of Arsenal''s decline, Chelsea''s strong rise, and Manchester United''s determination to restore, the traditional giant Liverpool, the fighting spirit of the Red Army, has finally announced the return!


    In the previous seasons, once Liverpool fell behind Millwall by two goals in the game, basically the game will be settled, there will not be a big turning point, it is difficult to see Liverpool''s ambition to pull back a goal, it is also difficult to see them Only after the game will you care so much about the outcome of the game.


    They cannot be described simply as "Liverpool won the respect".


    It''s just a scene, it doesn''t matter.


    The temperament revealed by the Liverpool exhibition is a simple and straightforward driving force of the competitive cycle: lost today, next time, we must win back!


    When Aldridge shook hands with Benitez after the game, Benitez''s eyes appeared extremely quiet, and I wonder what was contained in the elusive eyes.


    Perhaps it is a kind of weakness.


    Benitez knows Liverpool¡¯s comprehensive strength and future potential. Even if it reaches the limit, it may not be able to shake Millwall¡¯s **** in the Premier League. At least the league is not expected. Millwall¡¯s super stable development. I don¡¯t know when, and Who will end it?


    Maybe, only time.


    Not only the old age of the players, but also the old age of Aldridge.


    Thinking of this, Benitez was even weaker.


    Because he could never survive the younger Aldridge.


    "The 14th round of the Premier League focus battle ended, Millwall won the top ranking Liverpool 3-1 at home. This result has two harbingers for the Premier League title situation. The first is that Liverpool was kicked out of the championship. The second It was Millwall''s 9-game winning streak, and the gap with Chelsea''s points narrowed to 2 points! The advantage of Chelsea''s 9-game winning streak starts, and it seems that it will be smoothed out before the first half of the game!"


    ...


    After the 14th round of the Premier League, a core player from Millwall temporarily left the team and received special treatment for the team''s holiday.


    Ronaldinho.


    As the most powerful superstar in the entire European football world, this year''s European Golden Globe Awards, his winning voice is still the highest.


    Millwall played with the old last season, so despite the team¡¯s outstanding performance, many new faces have insufficient reputation. Although Ronaldo is selected, he is only an excellent first-class star, far from reaching the influence of superstars. Henry, who missed a lot of games last season due to injury, lack of team contribution, so that his voice for winning suddenly dropped.


    Ronaldinho''s suit and leather appeared at the Golden Ball Awards ceremony. Unsurprisingly, he overwhelmed Chelsea midfielder Lampard with an absolute advantage and became Mr. Golden Ball for the second consecutive year. The defending success!


    Aldridge watched the live broadcast of the awards ceremony at home. At the moment when the result was revealed, Earl jumped up in front of the TV and cried with great joy: "The great Ronaldinho defends the Golden Globe! The unique Ronaldinho!"


    He was as happy as winning the Golden Globe Award. Ronaldinho has always been an idol in his heart.


    Aldrich leaned on the sofa with Erlang''s legs. Although he was smiling, his face was not particularly happy. People around him could easily notice it.


    Yiwen cut a plate of fruit for the children and placed it on the coffee table. He came to Aldridge to sit down and watched the TV. It happened that Ronaldinho was giving an award speech.


    When he won the prize last year, he thanked many people.


    This year he only said one sentence.


    "Last year I was grateful to many people. Today I am still grateful to them. I love each of you, but today I would like to say a word here, to be appreciated and cultivated by Sir Aldrich Hall, who made me, This is my luck. I am grateful. Words cannot express my gratitude. Boss, thank you. It is my honor to work for you and fight for Millwall!"


    As soon as the camera turned, applause broke out.


    Aldridge in front of the TV closed his eyes and leaned on the sofa into a motionless state.


    Yiwen asked strangely: "What''s wrong? He won the award, are you not happy? Last year you were so happy."


    Aldridge said lightly: "I should be happy for him, it should be so, but I always feel my mood makes me look despicable! Because I know that after defending the Golden Globe, his ambitions on the court will quickly decline Because he gets too much, too much, the more he gets, the less he is willing to pay in the future! If the Golden Globe Award is given to others, it will stimulate his fighting spirit and let him The 26-year-old has new goals, and I would rather not return the Golden Globe to him! Ha ha ha, in the final analysis, it is my selfishness."


    Yiwen can understand Aldridge¡¯s mood. She reached out and stroked Aldridge¡¯s face and said softly: ¡°But you should also know that even if the Golden Globe Award is given to someone else, it may not affect him at all, because his heart and Don¡¯t care too much, or, if you give it to someone else, it will make him depressed and sink faster."


    Aldridge hummed softly.


    Half a season is about to pass, and Ronaldinho''s physical condition is not too optimistic in the club medical department''s tracking report.


    It even makes people feel that he is not a 26-year-old player at all, because after playing an excellent game, it takes longer to recover to the best physical state than before!


    Some clues are showing that Ronaldinho this season, although it is at its peak, is likely to be at the end of the peak!


    Once the decline, a slight decline, this momentum may not be able to stop!


    Aldridge spent a night adjusting his mood.


    He selfishly hopes that Ronaldinho can take the initiative to continue the peak state, physiologically pay attention to maintenance, psychologically let his fighting desire not to decline, but this may just be a luxury.


    To change the way of thinking, prepare for Ronaldinho¡¯s state of decline. Considering his huge contribution to Millwall, he is also standing on the peak of an era. For him personally, neither for Millwall Club. There should be no more demanding.


    When he woke up the next day, Aldridge let himself take a positive look at this matter and be happy for Ronaldinho to defend the Golden Globe!


    Don''t think about the rest, worry tomorrow.


    There is more than one thing that makes Aldridge happy.


    In the 15th round of the Premier League in early December, Millwall and Chelsea started at the same time.


    As a result, Chelsea were tied at Middlesbrough by Middlesbrough!


    Millwall still played triumphantly on the road after missing Ronaldinho and captured Charlton with a score of 2:1!


    Chelsea have a 9-game winning streak in the opening game, aside 9 points from Millwall!


    Millwall started from the sixth round of the league and ended the fifteenth round of the league with a domineering ten-game winning streak to close the 9-point gap!


    In addition, Millwall topped the Premier League standings with a goal difference!


    Mourinho was completely calm. After the game, he threw out the "swing bus" remarks he created last season.


    Claiming Middlesbrough''s style on the court is shameful!


    Swing the bus!


    I don''t want to win at all!


    That''s right, Middlesbrough just doesn''t want to win.


    They want 1 point!


    Being able to take the lead and take a point at Stamford Bridge is not something any team can do!


    At least according to the comments before and after Fleet Street, Middlesbrough is "glory"!


    At the Valley Stadium, Charlton¡¯s home, after Millwall¡¯s game ended, players on the field learned that Chelsea had been tied, and Millwall reached the top of the standings. The players jumped shoulder to shoulder to celebrate the team¡¯s league. Ten consecutive victories!


    Aldridge asked loudly as he greeted the players on the sidelines: "Who is the league leader?"


    Ronaldo, who contributed a goal in this game, took the lead and shouted: "Milwall!"


    Then the teammates also chanted "Milwall" in unison!


    Aldrich was excited and asked aloud, "Who is behind us?"


    De Rossi laughed: "Whoever he is! All the other teams are behind us! Can''t catch up with us!"


    Millwall players sang in unison with a brisk singing: "No matter who they are, they must be behind Millwall, they can''t catch up!"


    Schneider grabbed Aldridge''s arm and shouted to him: "Boss, sing together, sing together."


    Aldridge grinned, walked to the middle of the player, hugged Henry on the left, and Ronaldo on the right, and sang along with the players when he retired: "No one can catch up, catch up, catch up!"


    It stands to reason that Millwall should be calm and restrained at this time, maintain a humble attitude and stabilize the position of the top of the list, but they will temporarily leave the Premier League after the next round of the game and go to the World Cup, Aldridge also thinks that the team This ten-game winning streak was achieved with great strength, and players can relax a little at this time.


    In addition, it is to give Chelsea greater external pressure.


    They took the lead from August to early December and were reversed by Millwall before the end of the first half. Could this blow be small?

 Chapter 1139： Horror schedule!

    Over the Stamford Bridge, there was a cloud again.


    Abu was furious that the foundation of the excellent situation laid by the team''s league match had disappeared after three months!


    His rift with Mourinho also appeared in the newspaper!


    The reason is that Shevchenko introduced by Abuli has not been reused!


    Shevchenko, who played in a limited time, did not have the strength represented by his worth.


    When Millwall reversed Chelsea to the top of the standings, the focus of Fleet Street was still on Chelsea. It seems that the outside world is not surprised by Millwall''s reversal. Even if there were a lot of media backing Chelsea before, advocating that Chelsea can rule In Europe, following the mad lion, a blue dynasty was opened!


    The media is always in the wind.


    As far as news focus is concerned, Stamford Bridge has more news than Millwall, although it contains a lot of negative news.


    Including the contradictions between generals and doubts about Mourinho''s coaching ability stems from his inability to use Shevchenko, a top striker who is famous in the Premier League and famous in Serie A.


    The conflict between Abu and Mourinho is naturally a topic of interest to the outside world.


    Especially when the topic is hot, many players inside the Chelsea locker room have stood up to defend Mourinho and firmly support Mourinho, which has raised the level of news attention.


    After all, there are still some players who have been left out and will try to "overthrow" Mourinho''s internal **** at this time, so as to obtain a career turning point.


    In the complicated situation created by such public opinion, the Times did not join in the excitement, and they pointed out the key factors of Chelsea''s reversal more professionally!


    "Although Chelsea, led by Mourinho, did not win the league title last season, but they got the team''s highest score in the history of the Premier League and even the top league, it can be said that Chelsea had a successful but not glorious season. In the second season, the resistance they encounter will naturally rise. This is the most common situation in the top league. For example, some teams can only play well for one season. The second season clearly shows that the strength has not changed much, but the record has In view of the violent fluctuations, a common law that exists in the Premier League is that most newly promoted horses cannot survive the second season.


    Millwall has been able to defend the league successfully in recent years, and they cannot ignore the positive changes they have made in each season. The sense of worry is very strong, but Chelsea lacks experience. Are they not performing well? At least in the competitive environment, it is indeed not good enough, especially when the league starts with a sweeping momentum, which makes other teams more panic. So, in the middle of the season, most teams have passed the comfortable state at the beginning of the season Afterwards, when starting to score every point, Chelsea''s biggest problem also surfaced: they performed poorly in the tough game!


    At one time, at least half of the Premier League teams would use the 4321 defensive counterattack formation created by Sir Hall when facing Millwall. This made Millwall difficult for a period of time, but Millwall survived and they responded. Very fast, this may be related to their failure to defend the Premier League for the first time in the summer of 1998. In the following season, Sir Hall attached great importance to the second year after the team won the championship and made a lot of what we can see. The adjustment and changes of the team made those who thought that Millwall had a good sense of pain when trying to snipe Millwall defending.


    Chelsea probably thought that they did not win an important trophy to prove themselves, so the attention they attracted would not be too high. In fact, looking at their actions in the transfer market in recent years, they have even caused many European clubs to panic!


    Mourinho''s preparation for this season is not sufficient at present. At least, what should Chelsea do when Chelsea have not made a good sense to deal with the middle and lower teams to use the iron barrel array to deal with them?


    Chelsea need positive changes. Now it is not about who is right and who is more important. Which player is more important. When the boss and coach, who is the team leader, they still have the opportunity to prove themselves, but first of all, they can not mess up! "


    ...


    In the Premier League, the game is turbulent, and the season has not yet reached the final sprint, even the first half of the game has not been finished!


    But most outsiders know that the most crucial moment of the Premier League competition this season has arrived!


    If Chelsea has been chasing Millwall from the start as it did last season, even if it is now behind, people still have a wait-and-see or optimistic attitude towards Chelsea''s future.


    But this season''s competition, the key confrontation is that Millwall is behind the big disadvantage of 9 points!


    Even if it is a tie, the goal difference is ahead!


    But for Chelsea, the psychological gap is too big, the impact is too strong, once they continue to fall behind, there may be a discouragement in the league, it is difficult to change roles, from the leader to the chaser, and then maintain the toughness of last season tenacious!


    Aldridge ignored the outside news. Of course he knew that Chelsea had become the headline of public opinion. No matter positive or negative, Millwall was behind the scenes. Many gunmen writers in the media were publishing some powerful articles and reports in order to Make Chelsea the team on the cusp.


    Don¡¯t they want to be number one in the world?


    Give you the world''s first public opinion treatment!


    Standing in this position, the outstanding glory is correct, but once there is a drop, the heavy pressure caused by countless people falling into the well is also extremely powerful!


    Standing on the peak, why not walk the tightrope at high altitude?


    Millwall is about to usher in the final round of the UEFA Champions League group stage.


    In view of the tightness of Millwall''s schedule for a period of time in the future, Aldridge made a decision to send a half-reserve plus half-reserve team in the final round of the UEFA Champions League group stage!


    Take a look at their schedule in December.


    Just finished playing the Premier League at the beginning of the month.


    Number 6, visiting Porto.


    On the 10th, he returned to the Premier League to continue playing in the away league, the opponent was Crystal Palace.


    On the 11th, the Millwall team went to Asia, targeting Tokyo, Japan, to participate in the World Club Cup!


    On the 15th, the first match of the World Club Cup.


    No matter what the first game wins or loses.


    On the 18th, either the three or four finals or the finals!


    On the 23rd, the 17th round of the Premier League make-up!


    Christmas Express starts on the 26th! First round.


    On the 29th, the second Christmas Express!


    31, the third Christmas Express!


    If you look at the next month, then...


    On January 2nd, continue the fourth game of the Christmas Express Battle. After the fight, the Christmas Express ends!


    After the league truce was close to half a month, but after the 7-day recovery period, there will be a FA Cup battle in the middle!


    It can be said that from December to January 2, in 33 days, Millwall has to play 10 games!


    Excluding game days, Millwall simply has no recovery period with an average three-day interval!


    This is also the reason why Aldridge was reluctant to apply for a league rescheduling when he participated in the European Super Cup at the beginning of the season, and the result of the team¡¯s inadequate preparations in the summer but the poor start of the continuous play led to the unsatisfactory record.


    The Premier League has always had a cruel schedule.


    FIFA also came to join in the excitement, changing the tasteless Toyota Cup into the World Club Cup, only for commercial interests, but Millwall was overwhelmed!


    If they have no experience and no strong team lineup, I am afraid that this month''s terror schedule will drag Millwall down!


    Therefore, Aldridge sent a lineup consisting of half-team substitutes and half-team reserve players when he went to the Dragon Stadium with the UEFA Champions League qualifying.


    Can be called a doll soldier!


    Almost all players in the reserve team have Millwall youth accounts. As long as they are not 21 years old, they can play for the Champions League on behalf of Millwall without registering!


    The final of the Champions League group match is to deal with errands.


    Aldridge didn''t need any face. On the road, he made a group of players who were very strange to the outside world debut and then played a steady counterattack on the road.


    Porto also have expectations for the qualification of the UEFA Cup, they want to beat Millwall at home, and then hope that Inter Milan can beat the Rangers, so that they will get the group third to impact the UEFA Cup.


    However, at the Dragon Stadium, Porto paid the price first for their aggressiveness.


    Perhaps they really underestimated the enemy, and saw Millwall dispatch a group of unknown players and then attacked regardless.


    Although the Millwall players are unknown, there are still some town scenes in key positions, such as Neil in the guard, Ramor in the midfield, Moutinho and Verroso who played on the court, and May on the front line. West, there is Aguero, a teenager who plays center today.


    The unseen youth players in other positions have nothing to say about tactical execution. They are working hard. They are stunned to resist the indiscriminate bombing of Porto and seized an opportunity in the first half. , Meguy assists Aguero to open the record!


    The picture of Aguero and Messi running side by side on the sideline made Aldridge''s spirits shock. An originally routine game, I saw this pair of Argentine twins running youthfully and passionately. what!


    Porto played spirit after losing the ball, focused on defense, and patiently attacked Millwall''s defensive barriers.


    On comprehensive strength plus home advantage, Porto is completely stronger than Millwall''s starting lineup today, but Millwall uses tactics to narrow the strength gap between the two teams as much as possible, but unfortunately, after resisting 80 minutes, it still hasn''t Can hold.


    In the end, Porto tied the score in 81 minutes!


    The 1:1 score was maintained until the end of the game.


    The Porto fans left with disappointment.


    Because in another game in the same group, Inter Milan also qualify ahead of time, the battle is not strong, shaking hands with the Glasgow Rangers.


    To the surprise of Inter Milan, they actually got the group first in this group!


    They have 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss.


    Millwall is 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss.


    Inter Milan may be happy to avoid many strong teams in the knockout draw.


    Millwall felt irrelevant. The first team and the second team. Who would avoid the lottery? It¡¯s just worrying and unnecessary.


    However, the draw of Millwall caused an uproar after the game!

 Chapter 1140： UEFAs warning!

    Suddenly a spring breeze came, as if the whole world began to target Millwall.


    After the UEFA Champions League group stage ended, Fleet Street itself was calm, and their focus was on the home league, which is the competition of the Premier League.


    But other European media have released heavy news one after another!


    First, UEFA officials with a low status have publicly made remarks and attacked Millwall!


    "European Champions Cup, this is the highest honor and the most influential game of football clubs on this planet! In the past ten years, Millwall has gained huge benefits through its outstanding performance in the Champions League, influence, honor, attention, market Development, money, etc., but ten years later, they began to lack respect for this event! It is easy to think of Millwall becoming arrogant and arrogant, and see how they treat the UEFA Champions League group stage this season! In the 6 official games, there were only 2 games. They sent the strongest lineup. Then there were 3 games for the substitute players to play. In 1 game, it was even more blatantly perfunctory. UEFA¡¯s position encouraged the club Emphasizing youth training, but Millwall¡¯s approach has greatly hurt the Champions League, an extremely glorious event. I think Millwall needs to reflect on that they have obtained too much from the Champions League, but they are not willing to pay more when they can. This approach disappoints UEFA."


    To say that UEFA is dissatisfied with Millwall, it used to be obscure!


    After all, Millwall has always looked down upon the UEFA Champions League since the second-generation mad lion opened up the dynasty. Not only in the group stage, but also in the knockout stage, a large number of substitutes will be sent to reduce the expectation of the game.


    But Millwall in the past is in a model recognized by the public.


    That is to go to the bench, and it must be a situation where the prospect is comfortable.


    For example, in the first four games of the group match, all wins, and in the next two games, without the main force, who can blame Millwall?


    In the first round of the knockout round, they won by more than three goals. In the second round, there was not much suspense left. Millwall appropriately sent some substitutes, and the outside world took it for granted.


    But this season, Millwall''s UEFA Champions League group stage, when the prospects for the qualifying are not clear, is to use the substitute to fight for the group qualifying rights, so that in the most suspenseful stage of the game, when the outside interest is active, Millwall Pouring cold water to the outside world.


    The reason is simple.


    Next, the six Champions League sponsors also stood up and commented on Millwall''s approach with complaints.


    "UEFA has been working hard to promote the European Champions Cup as a brand all over the world. Of course, the focus of football promotion is of course the first star! Millwall has the highest club influence in the world, for Asia and Africa. For fans of many countries and regions in North America and other countries, they watch the Champions League and watch the game of Millwall, the biggest fun is to be able to enjoy the performances of Ronaldinho and Henry, who have huge prestige stars, but Millwall But they were hidden in the Champions League. In 6 games, Ronaldinho played only 2 games. He was not injured, and he has had an incredible magical performance in the Premier League, but he has long disappeared in the Champions League. , Which makes many fans feel lost! We hope Millwall can improve this phenomenon and meet the expectations of the outside world for them as much as possible!"


    Because Millwall is the most successful team in the UEFA Champions League in the past decade, the sponsors of the UEFA Champions League do not have direct financial interests with Millwall, because Millwall is sharing the cake with everyone, but it can be said that The most dazzling protagonist, the appearance rate of the superstars in Millwall, has a direct impact on the interests of the Champions League!


    These sponsors are dissatisfied and excusable.


    Surprise on Fleet Street!


    The sponsor is dissatisfied and understandable.


    After all, people pay for their brand influence. In fact, Millwall cannot exert all the value influence in the Champions League to stimulate the Champions League market, which has a direct economic interest for sponsors.


    But UEFA also warned against Millwall.


    This sign made everyone unexpected.


    It makes no sense!


    The rules were formulated by UEFA.


    Millwall is not a passive game. After ensuring their own interests, they play under a rule that everyone agrees on, neither cheating nor violating the rules. Why should they be blamed?


    Two days before visiting the Crystal Palace, Aldridge browsed the accused criticism of Millwall in the European media in the office.


    There are countless media that are good at watching dramas, and there are also a handful of them.


    Now that the "Black Boss" UEFA has stood up and fired, then, of course, others can justly come forward and step on Millwall.


    Some outsiders know that some Millwall have a good relationship with the UEFA heads. Aldridge has a personal relationship with Johansson.


    Strangely, at this time, Johansson, who is the head of UEFA, was silent and did not come forward.


    After watching all the news, Aldridge lit a cigarette in the office.


    Carter sat across from him, thinking about it, and after Aldridge''s half cigarette turned into soot and smoke, Carter raised his head and said, "Or, if you pour bitter water outside, use the World Club Cup as a shield?"


    Millwall should be wronged.


    As a general rule, as long as they are "reasonable" with UEFA, they should be more confident!


    However, in this world, there are many times when no one can be bullied!


    To be reasonable with the UEFA three-zone organization, isn''t this just asking for trouble?


    UEFA itself holds the "truth"!


    Aldrich shook his head and said, "Remember Manchester United in 1999?"


    Carter frowned, not understanding, and asked, "What do you mean?"


    Aldridge spit out smoke and said lightly: "In the summer of 1999, Manchester United won the Champions League at the Camp Nou. It was normal to go to the Toyota Cup at the end of that year. They did go to Tokyo and successfully won the championship. Then what? International? The Football Association held the first World Cup in South America, Manchester United did not want to go, but, in the words of Manchester United players: The FA pointed a gun at Manchester United¡¯s head, forcing Manchester United to run away after just playing the brutal Christmas schedule Going to the other side of the world, to participate in the boring World Club Cup, and therefore, Manchester United was forced to give up the FA Cup! Listen clearly, I said that the abandonment is that Manchester United did not participate in the FA Cup that season, instead of sending a group The obscure creeps went out to lose the game and were eliminated."


    There is also a "political game" in the football circle. The outside world thinks that Manchester United is very strong. However, in the "soccer politics circle", the club must always be controlled by the upper-level institutions such as the Football Association.


    The FA had coerced Manchester United to play in the World Cup. The first thing must be that Manchester United played on behalf of England, which is a great honor. Second, the FA at that time was a bit "crazy" because the FA was fighting for 2006. The right to host the World Cup, a little more image engineering, and a worldwide influence are very necessary!


    Dare Manchester United go?


    That is almost equivalent to making a mistake before bidding for the World Cup, the big question of right and wrong!


    The reason why Millwall has great influence in the Premier League is partly due to Aldridge''s contribution to the English football. The other part is that Millwall, despite being a Premier League team, always represents some interest groups and the English football. The opposite, because the Premier League was separated from the control of the FA on the day of its establishment, but Millwall played in the European War, and repeatedly won the European Super Cup, Toyota Cup, etc. These can give the FA the benefits of honor.


    So when media from outside of England slammed Millwall, Fleet Street and the FA will both come forward to defend Millwall and defend Millwall for a few words.


    After Carter listened to Aldridge explaining Manchester United''s past history, he understood what Aldridge meant.


    If Millwall expands the problem and involves FIFA, it will not be easy to please. Not only will he officially offend FIFA, but it may also make the FA unhappy.


    The English football team always wants Millwall to go to the World Cup!


    You know, the World Club Cup or the previous Toyota Cup, there is only one place in Europe each season!


    Not necessarily from England!


    It¡¯s the Champions League champions, in other words, Millwall represents not just England, but Europe!


    And the representative of Europe is the team from England, the FA has a bright face!


    If Millwall complains about the World Club Cup, it may be interpreted as a boycott of this FIFA event and offending FIFA will also make the Football Association not very happy, not inside or outside!


    Carter spread his palms and asked helplessly: "So how do we respond?"


    Aldrich thought for a long time, and finally said: "I don''t need to respond. At this point in time, the negative impact on us is the lowest. The Champions League is going to be suspended. It will wait a few months before returning to the public. Second, The winter transfer window is about to open, and more news will wash away the news that now surrounds us."


    It is a way to counteract the negative effects by changing constantly, responding silently, and waiting for time.


    Carter had no opinion, but he watched Aldridge think for a long time, and asked curiously: "What are you thinking?"


    Aldridge frowned and said, "I think things are a bit strange."


    Carter asked tentatively: "UEFA?"


    Aldridge nodded.


    For no apparent reason, UEFA began to make trouble for Millwall, and because Millwall is too eye-catching, it is not important whether UEFA is occupied or not. The key is that this represents a voice from within UEFA.


    Carter was very keen on this, and said in a deep voice: "I think a complex institution like UEFA, with some different voices, is normal. Although Johansson is in charge, he cannot let everyone surrender to him. Belly, but if UEFA is really determined to target Millwall, why is it not for the UEFA chairman to speak out?"


    Aldrich just felt weird here.


    To say that UEFA is against Millwall, then John Pine does not have to hide, but a member of the UEFA Executive Committee came out to make a statement. If it does not represent John Pine, wouldn¡¯t it anger John Pine?

 Chapter 1141： World Club Cup

    Carter is more sensitive than Aldridge in this regard, perhaps related to his work history.


    When Aldrich revealed his doubts, Carter smiled: "UEFA has also entered a stage of war countdown! Think about it, what day is it a year from now?"


    Aldridge didn''t really care much about football politics, so he asked blankly: "What day? Next year is the World Cup."


    Carter sighed helplessly: "My God! One year later, the UEFA presidential election! Fighting openly, and now has entered the stage where the war is about to start! Please, Johansson is 75 years old, and has health concerns, he has Prostate cancer! He himself has repeatedly hinted that he wants to retire and enjoy his old age! You say, inside UEFA, are you now preparing to hold a glorious retirement ceremony for Johansson? No, most people certainly hate He left early, and then, to see who was eligible to take the seat of Johansson!"


    Aldridge''s spirit was shocked, and his face was suddenly realized.


    It''s like the old emperor is about to abdicate, and the prince below starts to compete for the reserve.


    It''s no wonder that at this time, UEFA officials with considerable weight came out to express their opinions, but Johansson was silent, probably weighing the interests.


    Regardless of whether UEFA is really dissatisfied with Millwall, but there are definitely some people in Europe and some football forces do not like it. Therefore, such a voice will win the joy of those who hate Millwall. Or, this is also a stand!


    Because the biggest sign of UEFA is the Champions League!


    The Champions League has become a giant game, the giants are only a few, standing on the peak, it is Millwall.


    Shooting at Millwall, the deep meaning behind it may also contain a belief in the reform of the current interests of UEFA and the rules of the game.


    Look, Millwall didn''t go all out in the Champions League, but they could easily divide up the biggest share of this cake!


    Such a potential incitement will anger more people, superficial, and will be dissatisfied with Millwall. Those who see it thoroughly will be dissatisfied with this system!


    Aldridge threw Carter a cigarette, lit another cigarette himself, and asked softly, "Johnson is going to abdicate. What is the situation now?"


    He should have the answer in his heart, perhaps because he has the answer, so he hasn''t paid much attention to it.


    However, since the result has not yet been announced, he put in some energy to understand, it is always right.


    Carter said: "Look now, the successor appointed by Johansson is the one from Germany."


    "Huh? The one from Germany?"


    "Beckenbauer, Johansson has been paving the way for Beckenbauer all these years, and the momentum should have started since 2002, when Johnson tried to challenge Blatter and failed. I think that failure also made Johnson With the idea of ??abdication, I tried my best to cultivate and support Beckenbauer."


    Aldrich scratched his head, thinking a little bit confused.


    Caesar in Germany.


    Why would Platini be elected in a year?


    Aldridge vaguely remembered that Platini subverted the rule of Johansson, not defeating Beckenbauer in the competition.


    He doesn''t know the specifics, but now it''s a bit confusing to hear Carter say this.


    Deep in his heart, through these decades of European football, he naturally hopes that Beckenbauer can succeed Johansson. Regardless of Johansson¡¯s criticism, a ¡°regime¡± leader and policy-maker must be unable to let Everyone in the world is satisfied, from the village head to the head of state, it is impossible to really formulate a policy of great joy.


    However, in the core concept, Johansson represents the traditional values ??of European football. He naturally believes that Beckenbauer can continue this policy before he will fully support Beckenbauer.


    But what about Platini?


    This well-known football superstar seemed to be a "politician".


    Aldridge couldn''t figure out these things, and simply didn''t want to.


    Exactly on this day.


    Beckenbauer spoke.


    Maybe it was Johnson''s advice, maybe it was his personal position. In short, he helped Millwall speak and responded to the comments of UEFA officials.


    ¡°Some people don¡¯t understand football and don¡¯t just draw conclusions. The coaches who have coached the team all understand the importance of allocating players¡¯ physical fitness reasonably and use different strategies for different games. I have a hard time understanding that some people in UEFA question the World Cup, Europe Cup, the coaching decision of the six Champions League champions! If Millwall is eliminated in the Champions League because of retention of strength, there will be countless people attacking Millwall¡¯s platoon formation, but when Millwall is qualifying The UEFA¡¯s criticism seems out of place and lacks a reason to stand up. The European Champions Cup is indeed very glorious and has top influence, but this is a competitive sports event, not an entertainment show!"


    It''s hard to say that Beckenbauer is defending Millwall.


    At least listening to his remarks is very similar, but the deep meaning must be aimed at the hostile forces of UEFA and Johansson.


    Beckenbauer''s meaning is very clear. Others criticized Johansson for turning the Champions League into a powerful tool for the monopoly of the giants. But in turn, the Champions League itself is the winner, and the strong take more!


    This is not a paradise to promote equality for all!


    If the Champions League has become a charity entertainment show event, all of them are happy to share their interests, then this event that gathers the strongest to determine the strongest of the champions will deviate from the original purpose of creating it.


    Despite Beckenbauer speaking for Millwall, Aldridge kept the club silent.


    To be honest, Aldrich has no idea what is happening inside UEFA.


    Is there really an opinion on Millwall, or is the drunkard''s intention not to drink, and Millwall is used to play on the subject, secretly to openly fight for the next presidential election.


    If it is the former, then at this stage it is still in a "quarrel" stage, complaining two words, Aldridge can bear it.


    But if it is the latter, Millwall must remain outside and participate in games or battles in the political circle. This is very risky, because no matter who wins, Millwall will formally open up a lot of enemies. !


    Publicize when you can publicize, and low-key when it''s low-key.


    Millwall won the Champions League group stage, and continued to the London Derby on the weekend, as a guest to challenge the Crystal Palace.


    In London, Millwall''s three hostile enemies, West Ham United, Chelsea, Crystal Palace.


    The other London opponents are ordinary neighbors. Those left over or inherited from history have no hostility.


    Crystal Palace is the one with the lowest hatred.


    Last season, Millwall changed direction to help Crystal Palace relegation success, Crystal Palace also changed direction to return to Millwall, and issued a blessing for the retirement of Southgate.


    A deal between the two teams twelve years ago made Crystal Palace fans cherish. After Southgate officially retired from his boots, everything disappeared.


    This season, the two teams have fought against each other. Crystal Palace is weak. Even with the advantage of home court, it can''t stop Millwall''s crushing.


    Ronaldinho''s defending golden ball return to the team, this game sent a wonderful performance of two assists, Millwall also successfully scored 2 points on the road with a score of 2:0, the league 11 straight!


    Chelsea struggled to defeat Wigan Athletic 1-0 at Stamford Bridge after experiencing two consecutive draws, and successfully won the game, but the gap between goal difference was opened by Millwall again.


    After 16 rounds of the English Premier League, Millwall team took a plane to Asia.


    In Japan, there are six continent championship teams gathered here.


    European champion, Millwall of England.


    South American Libertadores Cup champion, Sao Paulo of Brazil.


    African champion, Al Ahli of Egypt.


    Asian champion, Saudi Etihad.


    Oceania champion, Sydney FC, Australia.


    Champion of North America and the Caribbean, Saprisa of Costa Rica.


    Strictly speaking, this is not the first World Cup, because the World Cup was passed in early 2000, but it has failed, FIFA finally can¡¯t help but move this piece of cake, so the Toyota Cup entered History, in fact, still change soups or medicines, chicken ribs are chicken ribs, it is useless to gather more teams to make boos.


    Europe and South America are the main strengths in world football, so the champions from Europe and South America are taken care of and have the top 4 places directly.


    The other four continent championship teams caught up with each other, and the winner advanced to the semifinals, and then played separately from Millwall and Sao Paulo.


    Aldridge led his team to Yokohama, Japan, declined the invitation of the event organizer for business events, and would rather make less money and give players more time to rest.


    Although it is impossible to adjust the time difference in a foreign country to rest well, it is better than not taking a rest.


    To know that after playing the World Club Cup, Millwall is back in England and will enter the Devil schedule.


    On the 11th and 12th, the game between the four champion teams from non-Europe and South America quickly finished.


    Etihad and Zaprisa advance to the semifinals.


    The most speechless part of this unlucky World Club Cup is: not only to decide 34 **** but also 56 damn!


    Make a specific ranking of the 6 teams of the participating teams!


    So Sydney FC and Al Ahli lost the ball, but still have to stay here and wait a few days to play a 56 finals!


    Just looking at this format, Aldridge feels that he has stepped from the oasis into the desert at once, as if participating in a very amateur and entertaining competition.


    FIFA is very welcome. It recruits championship teams from all continents, consumes it to death, can play a few games, a few more games are money...


    On the 14th, South American champions Sao Paulo and Etihad took the lead in Tokyo.


    Unsurprisingly, S?o Paulo defeated Etihad to get the final ticket.


    On the 15th, Millwall will play in Yokohama against Costa Rica''s Saprisa.


    Just listening to the opponent¡¯s name and where the opponent is from, Millwall¡¯s main players are interested in the decline. Perhaps the scenery in Japan is more able to mention their interest than playing against the opponent.

 Chapter 1142： I used to see big scenes when I was young

    At the press conference before the game, Audridge was in amusement, and the reporter asked some habitual questions.


    For example, Millwall came to the goal of participating in the World Club Cup.


    Of course it won the championship, certainly not to travel.


    These reporters can''t ask too much new ideas, after all, the event itself is unattractive.


    Aldridge announced the starting list of the game before the end.


    After he finished speaking, the turbulent press conference would have fried the pot instead.


    "Sir Hall, in Europe, UEFA has warned Millwall to pay attention to the cup. Millwall as the last year¡¯s Toyota Cup champion, the world¡¯s most watched team, countless fans look forward to seeing Millwall in the World Club Cup. There are many stars, but in your starting lineup, people like Ronaldinho and Henry, and Kaka C Ronaldo have been hidden from the snow. Isn''t Millwall not paying attention to his opponent''s performance? "


    Aldridge really wanted to lick his mouth!


    Why do you want to announce the list in advance!


    Probably because the press conference was very ordinary and there were no waves, he said it casually. Perhaps his heart was sympathetic. He wanted to give the reporters a little bit of information. He likes to do this in England. Convenience with people means convenience with himself. The fleet The street does not make him difficult, so when appropriate, Aldridge will give them more news material to make a difference.


    Aldrich was silly asked by reporters!


    One by one faces from all over the world with different skin tones are filled with solemnity, as if how important the next competition is, or have suspense!


    Aldrich cannot tell the truth, really cannot!


    Just kidding, a team from Central and North America and the Caribbean, and a club from Costa Rica, if Millwall sends all the main players to the battle, as the outside world''s generously said, come up with all the strength!


    Will the opponent cry?


    Millwall really can''t get it out!


    The player does not have that fighting spirit!


    Rather than let Ronaldinho Roger spend their 90 minutes in court, Aldridge would rather let a bench who doesn''t care much about his opponent and just want to show more to play.


    In fact, most people who understand the ball understand that, like a pre-season friendly game, is the main game exciting or the substitute game exciting?


    Don''t look at the star''s face, don''t look at the star''s jersey number.


    In fact, coming off the bench will make the game more exciting and full of fierce confrontation.


    Because the main players do not care about this friendly game, and will actively converge to avoid injuries, and the substitute players will not consider so much, only hope to come up with more fighting spirit to win more trust from the head coach!


    The World Club Cup is not a friendly game, but the opponents on the opposite side make Millwall''s main players uninteresting.


    Some journalists from Europe laughed when they saw Aldridge in an embarrassing situation.


    Aldridge was really crying without tears.


    Fuck the media, don''t take you to play like this!


    Who is preaching in today''s newspaper: Ronaldinho is worth 10 times as much as Saprisa''s team total!


    Who is preaching: Saprisa¡¯s annual salary is not as good as Ronaldinho¡¯s one-month salary!


    In the end, he was questioning Millwall not paying attention to his opponent?


    Before leaving, Aldridge could only say his diplomatic remarks in a serious manner.


    "Millwall certainly will not underestimate his opponents. We have thoroughly studied Saprisa''s technical and tactical play. After the coaching staff has prepared for sleep and sleep, we think this is a very difficult game, so we decided to play a consumption. In the battle, first let some substitute players play to consume opponents. If the situation is going in a bad direction, we have at least a lot of cards on the bench to play. You said, I can¡¯t agree. If the football game is the starting player, you must send The strongest player in the world, then the on-the-spot coaching of the head coach and the adjustment and scheduling of different situations will be greatly limited! This is not only a contest of strength, but also a competition of wisdom!"


    After all, Aldridge felt blushed and quickly got up and left.


    After he left, journalists from Europe and South America laughed.


    Don''t look at Millwall as the European champion, and the popularity is not low in Japan.


    But when the game was about to start, the stadium stands were mostly empty.


    Local fans are not fools. Mo said that Millwall¡¯s opponents are not strong themselves. Aldridge announced the starting list at the press conference. Those big-name stars do not appear. What do you want to see on the court?


    It can''t be said that no one is interested, at least a considerable number of fans came to the stadium to watch Millwall''s game, erected banners and flags in support of Millwall, waving happily.


    The group of Millwall players came out to play and was full of vigour. For the substitutes, there is no room for relaxation. Every time they play, they are an extremely precious opportunity.


    And in the Millwall team these years, another atmosphere has formed.


    A long time ago, the substitute always thought about the main role of the higher rank.


    Human nature.


    This is a frequent occurrence in football, and players are unwilling to play off the bench, causing conflicts.


    Millwall used to be that players were reluctant to play off the bench, so they could only leave and did not force, and there was no need to force people to create conflicts within the team.


    Now it is a lot of substitute players. The goal and direction of the effort is not to shake whose main position, but to keep his substitute position in Millwall!


    Ten years, six Champions League Champions League!


    Seven Premier League!


    Millwall''s detached status makes the bench role special.


    Do you think anyone can play in such a team?


    Moreover, Millwall treated the players well, especially in terms of honor.


    On the Champions League trophy, the replica must have its own name.


    The real product, even if it is not strong enough, can only be used as a substitute, but it can be replaced with loyalty!


    Neil''s name is engraved on the Champions League authentic trophy, which makes many players envious. It is the "Military Medal" replaced by the loyalty written by ten years of youth!


    In order to prove his remarks at the pre-match press conference, Aldridge stood on the sidelines before the game started, with a look of good oldness. It seems that he attaches great importance to the upcoming game, there may be a trace of tension, probably a fear Catch the ditch.


    When the two teams played, Millwall players looked up from the bench, trying to find some familiar faces in the Saprisa lineup.


    As long as they remember, or have ever played, then the media exaggeratedly criticized Millwall for not paying attention to the opponent, and it is justified, proving that the opponent should have a threat.


    But they were disappointed.


    In such a team from Costa Rica, no one sees opponents who can impress them.


    Aldridge also glanced at his opponent''s lineup, then looked back and bowed his breath.


    The media criticized right!


    He really doesn''t pay attention!


    Chicken tasteless competition, weightless opponent!


    "I have galloped in the big scene since I was young. Why did you tell me to face a team of local Costa Rican players but take it seriously?"


    In 2003, after Saprisa¡¯s current owner, Hogg Begila, acquired the team, he developed a team-building strategy: the team only needs Costa Rican nationality players!


    This is not his patriotic or national sentiment, but just a special concept of building a team.


    Just like Hogg also owns a Mexican team, it also requires that this team can only be composed of players of Mexican nationality.


    In other words, Zaprisa''s strength is definitely not as good as the Costa Rica national team, and may even be even worse than half. The national team''s pillar, Wan Qiaopu, has been in the English football after 2000!


    Millwall only sent off the bench. Villa, Messi, Larson, and the three scored a goal each in the first half, turning the score into 3:0.


    Aldridge is like a sculpture, standing like a thinker standing quietly after the first half of the game.


    It was the same in the second half. Millwall showed no sign of ending. Substitute players also knew that since the main players came to Japan, they must play. The final of the World Club Cup will be the main force in this game. Players go to fight for the championship, how can they stay there?


    Saprisa experienced a nightmare second half.


    Try to limit Millwall''s trident as much as possible, but ignore the threat posed by Ramor who was plugged in. Within 25 minutes, Ramor completed a hat trick. At 75 minutes, the game was already 6: 0.


    In the last 15 minutes, Ramos rushed to the header to break the icing on the cake, and Moutinho also scored a goal through a long shot.


    8:0!


    Millwall shocked at the World Club Cup!


    Aldridge still had a faint look at the end of the game and walked steadily to shake hands with the Saprisa coach and then walked to the player tunnel.


    After the game, Saprisa players kept praising Millwall in an interview.


    "They are too strong, and they are definitely the strongest representatives in the world. It makes me feel like I am completely ruled and there is no chance of resistance. But this game also regrets me because I want to play with Ronaldinho Playing on the court, he is a great player and I am eager to play with him and be able to get his jersey after the game."


    After Saprisa''s players lost the big score, they praised Millwall, as if they opened their eyes and told them exactly what is the strongest in the world.


    And that is not Millwall''s true strongest strength.


    Perhaps the leading factor in technical and tactical concepts is the key factor to play a role.


    They regret more that they have not been able to play against legendary Millwall players such as Ronaldinho Ronaldinho, Henry and Nedved.


    However, Millwall players satisfied them. After the game, Ronaldinho was invited, went to the dressing room of Saprisa, took a photo with their opponents, signed on the jersey to commemorate and so on, the two teams unexpectedly enjoyed themselves after the game , Very harmonious.


    Aldridge gave the team a day off and asked the players to go to Japan, even if they had been there before, but they always had to relax.


    He spent a beautiful night with his family in a foreign country.

 Chapter 1143： Focus on the future

    The predecessor of the World Club Cup, the Toyota Cup, has only one game per year. When it becomes the World Club Cup, it is a series of "wars".


    Six champions from all over the world have already appeared. After four games, no team actually went home.


    On the 16th, Al Ahli and Sydney FC staged a qualifying battle of 56 places. Sydney FC won a small goal and won the fifth place. Al Ahli ranked at the bottom of the World Cup.


    On the 18th, Etihad and Saprisa took the lead in Yokohama, playing 34 ranking matches.


    Saprisa also beat Etihad with a 3:2 score and won the third place in the World Cup.


    In the end, Millwall and S?o Paulo were the finale.


    When the semi-finals ended, the media began to criticize the commercial nature of the World Club Cup. Although FIFA created a big boo, what is the champion of the world, but this scene after the reform is still the most in the football map. The two main forces compete: Europe and South America.


    Other champions from Africa, Asia and other places are nothing more than to accompany the prince to study, and even in terms of game quality, it is not as good as the friendly match between the two giants of the European preseason.


    Looking at the World Club Cup now, it is naturally insignificant.


    However, since Millwall is here, of course, the goal is to win the championship.


    Moreover, who knows the future.


    In ten years, twenty years later, FIFA made the World Club Cup look different. With the development and progress of football level around the world, there is really a world war of great interest. The influence and attention of the cup will naturally rise.


    Millwall is the king of the Toyota Cup, and now it has become the World Club Cup. If Millwall can win the championship, the current impact is very limited, but it has been written into the club¡¯s honor history. Maybe 20 years later, people will pay attention to the World Club. At the time of the Cup, the historical scroll will be turned over, but it will happily talk about who is the champion of the World Club Cup after the first formal reform.


    Yokohama International Sports Arena.


    In the final match of the World Club Cup, he went back and forth and returned to the match between South America and Europe.


    The atmosphere of the event also reached its climax at the end.


    The stadium stands are full, Millwall and S?o Paulo have a considerable number of fans. Millwall has developed the Far East market for many years, and has come here to play once a year on average, plus the team¡¯s extremely popular attraction, Aldridge Popularity in Japan is at the pinnacle level in the football world. You know, he won the World Cup championship here too.


    Sao Paulo has a deep relationship with Brazil because of historical and cultural relations. Like the start of the J-League in Japan, many Brazilian superstars will come to Japan for a lap when they are about to retire. In addition, the Japanese national team will often think of naturalizing Brazilian players. So S?o Paulo from Brazil has no shortage of supporters.


    At this stage, the relationship between S?o Paulo and Millwall''s club is somewhat rigid. To put it bluntly, S?o Paulo feels that Aldridge had robbed Kaka and suffered a great loss.


    Kaka caused concern in S?o Paulo due to a spinal injury. Millwall launched an offensive in the transfer market in a timely manner and brought Kaka to Europe at a low price. At this time, the value of Kaka is at least 20 million pounds. And still rising rapidly, S?o Paulo feels wronged, even resentful in his heart, there is a reason. After all, at this time, the S?o Paulo club has external worries and internal difficulties. After the World Club Cup, S?o Paulo won the South American Libertadores Cup. It can be said that a group of players who have reached the peak in South America will go their separate ways. There is no way out. The club is in financial difficulties and can only fly on its own.


    Aldrich didn''t know S?o Paulo coach Otto Riosu. Before the finals, he just nodded his head and shook hands.


    Millwall will send the strongest lineup today. These players came to Japan to enjoy the flowers and enjoy the scenery. It is enough to rest and relax. It is time to do the right thing!


    At this point, the players are conscious, and Millwall''s work habits combined with work and rest have made them familiar with this law.


    "European Champions League Millwall, South American Libertadores Cup Champion Sao Paulo, World Club Cup finals will stage a peak matchup between the King of Europe and the King of South America! Before the game, many fans worried whether Millwall would retain his strength, now We can rest assured that they sent the strongest lineup to play! We have reason to believe that today we will let everyone see a wonderful game.


    Millwall started 433.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Nesta, Silva, Ram.


    Midfielders: De Rossi, Alonso, Kaka.


    Forwards: C Ronaldo, Henry, Ronaldinho.


    S?o Paulo started with 352.


    Goalkeeper: Roglio Cheney.


    Guards: France, Lugano, Ed Carlos.


    Midfielders: Sisinho, Mineiro, Josue, Danilo, Junior.


    Forwards: Amoruso, Aloisio. "


    I don''t know if the dignity of the South American Libertadores Cup champion is at play, or Otullio is preparing for it.


    He actually dared to play a 352 formation when playing Millwall!


    When predicting the game before the game, some media pointed out that S?o Paulo''s 352 would be vulnerable to Millwall''s 433!


    In Europe, Millwall has proved countless times that the team that dared to put a 3 guard in front of them has a terrible end.


    But Aldridge didn''t care, the formation was always dead.


    Who can guarantee that 352 is not actually 532 or 541?


    There is now a well-known goalkeeper Cheney in S?o Paulo.


    This goalkeeper is estimated to be in history forever, and it will be difficult for future generations to surpass.


    Because he is a goalkeeper who has excellent positioning and penalty skills, and is a penalty shooter in S?o Paulo.


    A lot of goals have been scored so far.


    The reason for his famous history should be: the goalkeeper with the most goals in history!


    This did not have much impact on Millwall''s game.


    Next is Sisinho, who is starting at the wings.


    He made a name for himself at the World Youth Championships in the Netherlands this summer and became the focus of attention of European giants. Millwall also studied his technical and tactical characteristics. At the same time, Real Madrid is the most enthusiastic suitor.


    Aldridge just saw the report collected by the scouts in the club and left behind. He did not expect to see him at the World Club Cup up close.


    For Brazilian players to become famous, offense is almost a prerequisite.


    Sisinho is no exception. He has an excellent offensive and outstanding ability, but the hidden danger is that his sense of defense and position are too weak!


    It''s a big colander, and his weaknesses are almost clear when he switches between offense and defense.


    This is why Aldridge lost interest in him after only a glance.


    If he was introduced only because of his excellent offense, why not simply transform a winger into a full-back?


    The offensive ability is still excellent, the hidden dangers are similar, and the defense is weak.


    The other famous one is striker veteran Amoruso, but after all, he is already 31 years old. The threat is definitely not as strong as when he played in the Bundesliga and Serie A. Moreover, he is not a top-ranked forward himself, especially In the era of Brazil''s national team, which is full of monsters.


    In the enthusiastic cheering of fans, the two sides opened the battle.


    Although Millwall did his best, he was not in a hurry to speed up and did not take a breath to eat his opponent''s momentum.


    They entered the game in a step-by-step manner, adapted to the field, and the whole team worked together to rhythm.


    In the first 10 minutes of the game, everything went smoothly.


    However, Otto Rio, the coach of S?o Paulo, has always frowned. He frequently turned back to discuss things with his assistants. He was very surprised by Millwall''s formation today!


    Let him be thunderbolt.


    Not right!


    What''s wrong?


    Millwall''s starting lineup has few problems.


    Whoever should go, whoever goes.


    However, the players are not in the right position on the court!


    Ronaldinho, the starter looks like a left-winger, in fact he is playing the midfielder!


    Henry, the starter looks like a center, but he is playing a left winger!


    Who is that center?


    Kaka!


    At least it seems that Kaka is standing close to the center!


    In fact, Kaka''s role today is a pseudo center!


    When inspiring Kaka''s more potential, Aldridge''s position on him is relatively clear. First of all, Kaka is used. It is impossible to let him go to the side, or let Kaka leave the middle. It is a step backwards.


    So how can it be used in the middle?


    The front waist, the shadow forward, is the normal usage.


    It is impossible for Kaka to charge in front of him alone. He needs to be covered by his teammates, so when playing a shadow striker, Henry is in front of him to check, and he is more likely to win.


    And for him to play a counterfeit center, he also needs to be covered by his teammates to contain his opponent''s defense.


    Those are the two wingers, Henry and Ronaldo.


    This usage is not uncommon in the future. It can be said that it is another upgrade of the No. 9 half-character. Even players like Ibrahimovic and Rooney, who should seem to be absolutely center players, will be treated as pseudo-centers by the coaches for a certain period of time. In use, and the most successful, it should be the original history of Messi.


    But I really want to say that the existence of the pseudo-center has occurred half a century ago, but this phenomenon has always been in a cycle, and the pseudo-center has shined for a period, and then suddenly disappeared, like the shadow of the dormant world. In the middle, and then for a period of time, suddenly broke out!


    Aldrich made such a decision with great intentions.


    His eyes are locked on the future Ronaldo and Messi!


    To pave the way for these two geniuses, and to enable them to succeed in the ranks, to reach the pinnacle of a ruling era, then the role of center must be weakened within the Millwall team!


    Divide the center''s mission and power on the field into the hands of two wingers.


    As for whether Messi will become a pseudo center in the future, Aldridge also has a decision in mind.


    No way!


    It is like a Pandora''s box. Once Messi opens the box, he will definitely become the unshakable absolute king, and other roles in the Millwall team will be overshadowed.


    The biggest challenge for Aldrich in the future is how to enable Ronaldo and Messi to coexist when they are activated!


    In terms of status, the two must be equal!


    Otherwise, Millwall may not face the situation where fish and bear paws can only take one, but the end of nothing!

 Chapter 1144： Infuriating!

    We often hear a coach eloquently declare before the game: We will not focus on staring opponents!


    Then if he lost the game, the coach''s pre-game words became a reason for the fans to mock him.


    In fact, this is unfair.


    Because of modern football, the higher the quality of the game and the more competitive the competition between teams, the lower the probability of the appearance of man-marking defense!


    The higher the level of the player, the greater the range of activity, and the more flexible the positioning, the more difficult it is to mark.


    What if a defensive player with a man-to-man mission does Henry have a man-to-man defense?


    Do you also run with Henry?


    So even if some fans watched a high-level game, the superior side failed to play the advantage, don¡¯t talk about the weak side team coach after the game, the arrangement of the mark is very successful, it is definitely a misunderstanding of the game. The essence of tactical confrontation.


    Regional defense is the mainstream, and adding troops in the area is also a common method for the weak.


    If there is a team''s striker in a game that has no effect in the frontcourt, then the opponent''s regional defense is very successful, blocking the possibility of the striker getting support and isolating him.


    What should the striker do at this time?


    Continue to stay in front of your teammates?


    The more top teams, the less such a situation will arise. The striker will take the initiative to retreat. Pulling, no matter what, is seeking to get rid of the opponent''s blockade.


    The essence of the pseudo-center is here.


    Instead of staying in the center position, leave the center area, strengthen the front waistline or cooperate with the teammates on the sidelines, and then play the threat first through other points, so that the opponent''s defensive center of gravity shifts or tears the defense line, the pseudo center will follow up Follow up into the center area, complete the final attack, or simply play the role of the last pass, disrupting the opponent''s marking plan.


    Otullio just felt that Millwall players did not play cards according to common sense in the game, and the position still looked 433, but different players have different characteristics of playing, and the targeted defense of the players is also psychologically prepared before the game. different.


    Kaka, the pseudo center, does not stand at the center point. He moves between the front waist and the center, strengthening the connection with Ronaldinho and Alonso.


    In a small area, they can form a triangle pass combination, which makes it difficult for them to be intercepted. If it is counted as a side combination, Henry and Cristiano Ronaldo. After the back defender plugs in, Millwall is in the offense. Created a triangle transmission combination with interlocking cross and vertical and horizontal changes!


    In the 14th minute of the game, Henry took the ball on the left to break through Sisinho and cut into the penalty area on the front line with the familiar dribbling.


    Mineiro failed to stop Henry. France must come up to stop Henry. When someone was attracted to Henry on both the back line and the midfield line, Henry chose to return the ball to the front waistline.


    Ronaldinho kicks the ball and passes it to the center position area!


    Kaka started before Ronaldinho was out of the ball, because he knew Ronaldinho would pass the ball to the position in front of him, Ronaldinho was in front of him, Ronaldinho would be able to gain insight.


    Sure enough, Kaka threw away his body when he started. The center of gravity is to block Ronaldinho''s Josue. When the ball rolls in front of him, Kaka stretches his foot to touch the ball. The person defending him in front is Lugano. !


    But Kaka has already rushed and his speed has exploded. His action to touch the ball is to move the ball diagonally between Lugano and France!


    Lugano stretched his foot to try to block Kaka, but Kaka was like a smart rabbit, leaping past, avoiding his block, after the past, has already formed a single pole trend!


    Facing the Brazilian goalkeeper Cheney, Kaka swept the ball and the goal was the near corner of the goal!


    Cheney predicted wrong, he thought Kaka would hit the far corner, and then made a save after Kaka shot, it was too late!


    Seeing the ball rolling into the goal, Kaka didn''t make a celebration action, slowed down the running speed, and finally stopped, turned around and walked slowly towards the backcourt, the expression could not see joy.


    Sao Paulo, after all, his home team.


    "The goal has been scored! Kaka scored a beautiful goal! This goal was scored by Henry, Ronaldinho, and Kaka after a quick and effective cooperation in the front court. We saw that Kaka did not celebrate after scoring a goal. He is simply the perfect player. No wonder there are countless female fans in the stands who showed him love slogans! This handsome big boy shines this season, Hall Jazz has tuned out a quasi-world-class player! He has the ability to go further and stand in the position of heels!"


    Aldrich was satisfied with this goal, at least the technical and tactical ideas were reflected, but there were not too many surprises.


    After all, S?o Paulo is a South American team. When it comes to strict technical and tactical performance and execution, it is far behind European teams.


    South American teams basically rely on the player''s aura, while Europe''s survival is based on tactics.


    If S?o Paulo does not have a technical advantage, the tactical disadvantage will make them have no resistance at all, even if they face this game according to their customary style of play, they may die even worse, not Pizza Pisa Eat less bitterly.


    Head coach Otullio was numb on the sidelines. He didn¡¯t have many emotions. It didn¡¯t look like the deep city. After all, when the football game was in progress, the city was the least needed. Some emotions must be expressed. of.


    Aldridge does know that S?o Paulo¡¯s financial situation is not very good, but he does not know how bad the atmosphere of the locker room in S?o Paulo is!


    It can be said that this trip of S?o Paulo to Japan to play the World Cup is the club''s "jump trip"!


    Amoruso has signed a contract with Tokyo FC recently on the back of the club. After the World Club Cup, he will not have to go back to Brazil and play for the new club directly.


    Sicinho was staring at the movement over Madrid.


    Tardelli watched the fax machine all day and waited for Betis to send the official contract.


    Even the coach, Otto Rio, is looking around, hoping to stay and teach in Japan...


    It can be said that S?o Paulo is already distracted.


    You can "gold" yourself in this final!


    But behind 0:1, after being scored by Kaka, this is like knocking on the door of another world, making this game have a completely different turn before and after 0:0!


    Aldridge was attentively reading the game on the sidelines.


    After leading 1:0, S?o Paulo made a full counterattack, and the midfielder fully attacked.


    352, it is really 352.


    Aldridge can understand the opponent, just behind, ambitious counterattack, only a gap in the ball, try hard, maybe even the score?


    After S?o Paulo''s reckless pressure on the offensive, Millwall returned the opponent with a solid defense and scored a fast break in the 24th minute.


    Kaka and Ronaldinho made a two-on-one collision with Ronaldinho in the backcourt in the midfield. After the cooperation, Kaka turned forward. He took the ball forward and overwhelmed Josue¡¯s defense. Lugano and Egypt De Carlos rushed over and tried to grab the ball at the foot of Kaka. At the critical moment, Kaka drove the ball to the front right, and the unmarked Cristiano Ronaldo slid into the penalty area diagonally. After Cheney abandoned the door, Ronaldo drove the ball across the opponent laterally and easily pushed the ball in front of the empty goal!


    "S?o Paulo paid a price for their aggressive adventure! 2:0, giving Millwall a huge frontcourt space to play fast, Millwall''s offensive players have excellent skills at the foot, Kaka broke through the opponent and appeared very relaxed, and finally calmly assisted C Ronaldo scored a goal and even C Ronaldo had to show off his outstanding skills. He successfully crossed goalkeeper Cheney and helped the team expand its lead!"


    Cristiano Ronaldo also has great popularity in Japan. Even in the stands, fans will see pictures of him challenging the Japanese youth team on behalf of the Millwall Junior Team many years ago. The young boy Cristiano Ronaldo has really changed from today. It¡¯s very big, and those fans are very proud, it seems that they have accompanied Ronaldo to grow up, witnessing him step by step to today.


    Aldridge applauded without too much excitement, and the game did not create problems for him.


    Just when he thought it might be difficult for the game to come, the reality made him confused.


    It stands to reason that S?o Paulo lost two goals in the first half of the game, so it should be fully defensive and counterattack. This is normal.


    Then Millwall will fall into a choice, whether to attack or control, anyway, they will not consider utilitarian defense now.


    But in case of slack, the opponent counterattack succeeded, the score changed, it is really difficult to say behind the game.


    Although the probability of this kind of thing happening is not great, the coach must have such a vigilant mentality, like a physiological conditioned reflex.


    However, after two goals behind Sao Paulo, he still attacked unscrupulously.


    Sisinho couldn''t resist Henry, and he didn''t even have the opportunity to fight physically, but he was still attacking, and he seemed to want to show his attacking strength.


    Mineiro, Danilo, and these midfielders don''t seem to care much about the threat of Kaka''s breakthrough in the middle. Offensively, he allowed his back to be exposed, so that the lateral defense of the backline exposed enough space to Millwall.


    Even the strikers, Amoruso and Aloisio did not withdraw.


    Aldridge on the sidelines akimbo, turned his head and looked at the opponent coach Otullio, seems to want to understand what S?o Paulo is doing?


    Is there really any tricks I didn¡¯t understand?


    Obviously, the defense is full of loopholes, and the space is deliberately exposed. What tactics is this?


    The picture that made Aldridge''s pupils shrink slightly was: Otullio sat on the coach''s seat, watching the game calmly as a bystander.


    Aldridge could not see his confidence, nor could he feel the crisis.


    S?o Paulo seemed to be breaking the pot, and even the coach left the stall.


    Aldridge was suddenly furious!

 Chapter 1145： Then I will pay attention to it

    Mud Bodhisattva still has three points of anger!


    Aldrich led the team from Europe to Asia, and was sprayed by UEFA and then by the reporters here.


    He will be more or less angry in his heart.


    What did Millwall do wrong?


    It''s **** UEFA step by step that turns the Champions League into a game that civilian teams can participate in!


    If the Champions League is still the rules of the game in the mid-1990s, even if Millwall is the king team, he will not dare to take it lightly in the group stage, it is a real fight between the major European league champions!


    FIFA engages in the World Club Cup where the gold content can''t be lower. Which team are they from?


    Mo said that S?o Paulo¡¯s strength is a far cry from Millwall. Etihad, Sydney FC, Saprisa, Al Ahli, these teams may not be able to take absolute advantage in playing against Millwall Reserve. Advantage, playing against Millwall''s backup lineup is definitely at a disadvantage. In the end, Millwall is wrong?


    Aldridge is a conscientious devoted professional, and he is very thoughtful about every game. Even if some games are indeed lost, he did not get the results expected by the outside world. However, he is serious about the game and cannot be obliterated. And, what you get from the game may not be cared by outsiders, such as training young players, such as the necessary sacrifices made by strategic transfer.


    Whatever it is, Aldridge takes the game seriously.


    Now S?o Paulo has an irrational attitude towards the game, making Aldridge angry.


    His expression began to become slightly untidy.


    One, two, three, four, countless voices are criticizing Millwall: You take the Cup too seriously!


    Okay, we started to pay attention!


    However, the opponent is like this!


    Is this what the world wants?


    You want the strongest Millwall, and you want Millwall to treat the tasteless game as the most important battle of your career!


    Okay, here I am!


    Aldridge roared loudly towards the side of the court.


    "Tieri! Thierry!"


    When Henry noticed Aldridge''s cry, Aldridge gestured to him with a serious face!


    You, go back to the center position!


    Then he pointed to Alonso again and made a simple gesture.


    Retreat!


    Aldridge made only these two changes.


    It seems simple, but Millwall players know how to change.


    These adjustments have the meaning of signal signs and will have a ripple effect.


    When Henry returned to the center position, Ronaldinho must return to the left forward position, and then Kaka withdrew back to the front waist.


    Alonso''s retreat position means more emphasis on defense in the midfield and backcourt!


    Henry trot back when a wave of offense failed, and happened to go back with Ronaldinho. He whispered to Ronaldinho, "What''s wrong with the boss?"


    Ronaldinho shrugged and shook his head: "I don''t know, maybe it''s dazzled. If I read the wrong score, he probably has the illusion that we are two goals behind."


    "Uh, no kidding!"


    "Why do so many things, maybe something we didn''t know happened on the sidelines, now the meaning of the boss is very clear, we have to play fast break."


    Millwall''s formation seems to be out of touch in the midfield, but they have good passers in the middle and backcourts, Ram, Alonso, and Schneider. These are all passers who can accurately find their teammates within 30 meters.


    The retreat formation in the midfield and backcourt attracted S?o Paulo to attack more.


    Instead, S?o Paulo failed to return to the midfield and backcourt after investing in the offensive. Millwall''s frontcourt relied on the offensive fours only, enough to crush his opponent!


    In the 29th minute, Silva succeeded in stealing Aloisio and quickly transferred the ball to Ram on the wing. Ram urged a long pass to fight back!


    Ronaldinho took the ball to Kaka after catching the ball on the wing. He ran inwards, Kaka moved the ball laterally to shake out the space, and passed straight to Henry on the front line. Henry kept knocking the ball horizontally. Ronaldinho The middle track followed the ball forward, and another single-shot ball that penetrated the opponent''s defense line. Ronaldinho volleyed the ball in the upper left corner of the goal and sent the ball into the goal.


    The crazy lion fans cheered in the stands, but Aldridge maintained a serious expression on the sidelines.


    He is still asking the team not to relax.


    It seems that he is telling the world with his own actions: Lao Tzu now attaches great importance to the game, even if this game is tasteless!


    After 6 minutes, Henry received C Ronaldo''s cross in front of the goal and sent the ball into Sao Paulo''s goal again with a beautiful volley.


    "4:0, Millwall has gone crazy! This is the style of the European king! Absolutely dominant performance!"


    Before the end of the first half, Ronaldinho''s peripheral long-range shot was blocked, Kaka followed the long-range shot again and was blocked, Ronaldinho controlled the ball and suddenly passed to Ronaldo diagonally.


    S?o Paulo, who has been turned into a pot of congee in the penalty area, has lost his mark on Ronaldo. Ronaldo sent the ball into the goal at a low angle.


    After 45 minutes in the first half, Millwall 5:0 Sao Paulo!


    At the moment when the whistle sounded at the end of the halftime game, Aldridge turned his head and walked back to the player channel.


    Sao Paulo coach Otto Rio lost his face, but did not expect Millwall to be so ruthless!


    Millwall players returned to the locker room with doubt.


    On the court, no one dared to defy Aldrich''s order.


    He said going east, no one dared to go west.


    But Aldridge is not an unreasonable and unreasonable person. If the player has doubts, he will naturally answer, even take the initiative.


    The World Cup is not important, and Millwall will face a cruel devil schedule when he returns to London.


    Why in such a game that can be won easily and at low cost, Aldridge will make the players desperate to crush S?o Paulo?


    Is it for the appearance rate?


    Is it for more attention?


    Not necessary!


    It''s really unnecessary!


    The concern won by Millwall is that it should be in the UEFA Champions League key game, in the Premier League, and it is definitely not the tasteless World Club Cup. One week after the World Club Cup, there may be no fans who will remember and talk And will not recall this game in the future.


    In the locker room, the players saw Aldridge. The young coach was sharp-eyed and serious at the moment, making him nervous.


    The players looked at each other, not knowing if any teammates violated the rules.


    Even the colleagues in the coaching staff were surprised and did not quite understand the state of Aldridge at the moment.


    The silent atmosphere lasted for about 2 minutes, Aldridge took a deep breath and he spoke.


    "In Europe, some people say that we don¡¯t value the Champions League. Here, some reporters criticized us for not coming to Japan with sincerity. Why? There are so many questions out there for us? Why? We need to explain to the world?


    Yes!


    why?


    I also have questions to ask other people!


    Why are there so many contradictions in your team?


    Generals are at odds!


    The players are dissatisfied!


    Unreasonable physical distribution!


    Key players are always injured!


    The core players are having trouble with the club for the contract!


    Management does not trust the coach!


    Why can''t you be stronger and stronger!


    Give me a real pinnacle battle!


    Create real difficulties for Millwall!


    Let the crazy lion get down, let the crazy lion hurt, let the crazy lion cry!


    But why can''t they do it?


    why? "


    Aldridge''s words shocked all the players and coaches!


    Is this too stressful?


    It doesn''t sound like it!


    But there must be dissatisfaction, dissatisfaction with opponents, dissatisfaction with outside critics!


    Because it seems that Millwall was targeted!


    Aldridge, with a slight beard, looked bright and continued, "We have no common problems with others, we work together and unite together, so we are strong! I should be able to understand my doubts, not that we don''t pay much attention to, But we are too strong! Others are trying to disturb us! Breaking the laws of our success, let us become ordinary teams while catering to the world, and all kinds of contradictions erupt, and then our combat effectiveness will decline, will Fall from the peak! I will not allow such a thing to happen!


    However, we need to fight back!


    It is necessary to let those who make conclusions easily and those who speak irresponsibly open their eyes wide to see how ridiculous their accusations are!


    Does Millwall not value it?


    Ok!


    Let us take it seriously!


    Let the world see the match we should go all out in their eyes, how unbearable the opponent is!


    We are winning!


    We have been winning!


    But it does not mean that the game of 1:0 is not paying attention, 10:0 is to go all out!


    I am satisfied with you, your professional qualities can understand what you are doing.


    We have developed good habits. We spend every season at the rhythm we are familiar with. If we really don¡¯t pay attention and underestimate our opponents, then we can¡¯t win all the time, and we can¡¯t gain weight every season. Trophy!


    keep it up!


    Be the best yourself and form the best Millwall with your teammates!


    Europe is the strongest, the world is the strongest, we don¡¯t have to be humble, we should look down proudly on the world: Yes, Laozi is the strongest!


    No one in the outside world is qualified to tell us anything! "


    After Aldridge finished speaking, the players looked at each other and couldn''t help but nodded.


    De Rossi took the lead and shouted: "Go to **** those critics raised by bitches!"


    "Their criticism is shit!"


    "Yes, Lao Tzu is the strongest. What qualifications do they have for pointing Lao Tzu?"


    ...


    Millwall players also know the criticism from the outside world, because Millwall players have not been allowed to become "big mouths", so the players will not say much when dealing with the media, and they have developed a habit for a long time, but When criticized, there is naturally pressure.


    Especially when I feel unfair, I usually complain in private.


    Audric''s dissatisfaction, at this moment, as the resonance of the entire team of players, found the same vent.


    Also let the players understand why in the World Club Cup final, Aldridge will suddenly let them go all out to destroy Sao Paulo without reservation.


    The worse the slaughter of S?o Paulo today, the heavier the slap in the face of FIFA!


    Look, you have deliberately cancelled the Toyota Cup and brought in the "Master of the Kings" around the world. What''s the point?

 Chapter 1146： Out of control

    Yokohama International Stadium.


    Most of the fans in the stands simply appreciate the game. For them, Millwall madly poured 5 opponents in the first half today, which will only make them unsatisfied. Perhaps there will be suspense for the second half of the game and both teams The hidden worries of relaxation, but always satisfied.


    However, in the VIP box, as the event organizer, FIFA officials headed by Chairman Blatter tried to cover up their inner anger, and their expressions showed no sorrow and joy.


    Most of the journalists from Europe on the scene have already commented on the news reports in preparation for the post-match battle. One of the key headlines is: What is the significance of the World Club Cup?


    The chicken ribs of the Toyota Cup were obvious to all.


    FIFA is now making a big difference in this cup, but what?


    Not only is it back to the old tradition of confrontation between Europe and South America.


    It is because of the frequency of the competition that the strength difference is further widened when the final arrives.


    It is conceivable that the same came to Asia from another continent. Sao Paulo played a semi-final before, and Millwall also played a semi-final. The difference is that Sao Paulo does not have many rotations. It was a completely different lineup for the two games.


    Sweeping Saprisa at 8:0 is acceptable to everyone.


    The top gap between Europe and Central and North America and the Caribbean is expected.


    But in the final, Millwall drew 5 goals in S?o Paulo in the first half, which is not necessarily "tolerable" in this event.


    Because the larger the gap, the results presented will make the existence of this event more and more weak!


    This is what FIFA promotes: champion vs champion?


    It feels like a battle between an underdeveloped child and a young and powerful adult. There is no suspense.


    This is why the organizers of the FIFA event are angry with Millwall.


    Millwall seems to be smashing signs!


    Originally, this event had some care for South American teams.


    Because the South American team¡¯s league is basically not New Year¡¯s Eve, that is, it starts at the beginning of the year and ends at the end of the year. Then at the end of the year, it¡¯s okay to play the Toyota Cup or the World Club. South American teams can concentrate on their own. The league is still in progress, coupled with the status of being a leader in football, it will be somewhat arrogant and contemptuous, which will make the real strength difference closer.


    Just like Millwall comes to the Toyota Cup every time, this time after the World Cup, the idea before coming is not to try his best to play the game.


    In this game, Aldridge''s idea was just to win two goals and then close it. In the face, S?o Paulo and FIFA are all passable.


    But I don¡¯t know whether it was S?o Paulo¡¯s attitude that made Aldridge feel humiliated, or is it really that he was attacked by UEFA and the media in Europe, and was besieged by reporters in Asia, and he even participated in FIFA to cope with errands. Enraged by this tasteless competition, he had an emotional outburst and could not restrain himself.


    Blatter is most angry that Millwall is not only demolishing the FIFA stage today, but two days later, he will also give Millwall players the award of Mr. World Football.


    That''s right, Ronaldinho.


    Looking at the entire football at this stage, no one can match Ronaldinho.


    Blatter in the VIP box subconsciously set his sights on the horizon, the direction is Europe.


    Silently said: Why is there such a team that is so strong to be out of control in Europe under John Pine?


    Perhaps in the minds of downright politicians, a football club is nothing more than a pawn, a pawn, and it cannot be released from the player''s control.


    In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought.


    S?o Paulo was shocked, and he dared not attack anymore in the second half. However, due to the influence of South American football style, even if they were dead, they were not strict enough in the defensive system. They were good at one-on-one partial defense, because in South America, skills There are many players with sexual advantages. Even breakthroughs like Ronaldinho are commonplace, so defensive players are not afraid of one-on-one and can be called experienced.


    However, South American players who can stand at the top of the field in Europe need another quality, that is, technical and tactical literacy, integrate into the team, look at the overall situation, not rely too much on personal skills, and must play team football.


    After Millwall''s players took a break at halftime, their fighting intentions did not diminish. Instead, they gained more momentum, because they understood why Aldridge wanted them to go all out!


    This is a return to the world!


    Give all the doubters a slap in the face!


    In the second half, the mad lion accelerated the pace of the game to quickly pass and dazzle the position to tear the opponent''s defense.


    Schneider, Ram, the pair of German guards running on two sides, running like wind, they will not think about the messy things, as long as Aldridge said a word, they can go to the chase.


    Running indulgently in the game and destroying the opponent''s defense line, the two became the most shining figures in Millwall''s second half offensive. Because the opponent strengthened defense, Millwall used the side to tear the width of the opponent''s defense line, and there was also a new post-attack attack Threatening points disrupt the opponent''s defensive attention.


    In the 58th minute, Schneider went directly to the bottom of the right, after receiving the ball from Ronaldo, he cut into the penalty area and drove the ball back over Ed Carlos in the penalty area. When the area in front of the goal was overcrowded, Schneider will The ball suddenly passed to the top of the arc in the penalty area.


    In that position, Alonso, who fired from a long distance, kept the ball and hit the ground with a heavy kick to send the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal!


    On the sidelines, Aldridge''s mouth slightly raised, showing a cruel smile!


    6:0!


    The FIFA officials around Blatter''s face changed slightly and whispered.


    "What is Millwall doing?"


    "If you win, you win. Do you have to make the game look like this?"


    "In the past years, we won at most four..."


    "They don''t know how to converge!"


    It seems that Millwall doesn''t want to be friends with his opponent after the game.


    With a six-goal lead, S?o Paulo completely collapsed, and players were panicked on the court.


    In 67 minutes, Millwall again created a chaos in the opponent''s penalty area through a continuous long shot. Henry seized the opportunity to send the ball into the opponent''s goal again.


    Cheney, the goalkeeper who was supposed to be the best in the world, collapsed into the goal, hiding his face as if he could no longer stand up!


    S?o Paulo players stared dumbly at the opponent.


    You guys, what kind of monster are you?


    monster!


    That''s right, monster!


    The South American Libertadores Cup champion, a generation of hegemony in South America, S?o Paulo, has represented Brazil in the most top teams in international clubs so far!


    In this game, the body was torn apart by the mad lion and hit the soul!


    Ottorio made a substitution on the sidelines, with three offensive players removed and three defensive players replaced.


    His substitutions have made S?o Paulo players even more unable to look up.


    This is no longer a performance of shrinking defense and lowering attitude.


    Instead, he confessed surrender utterly and gave up the attack!


    Even a trace of resistance will not try again!


    7:0.


    Aldrich felt almost.


    He gestured to the players on the court, Millwall controlled the midfield, the offense played long shots on the perimeter, it didn¡¯t matter if the ball was handed over to the opponent, anyway, the opponent didn¡¯t have many offensive pieces, and when they obediently returned the ball, Millwall continued to shoot long shots in the periphery, no longer penetrated into the danger zone, to avoid the opponent''s dogs jumping the wall to take the ultimate killing tactics.


    At this time in the World Club Cup final, the situation on the court suddenly changed.


    Previously, it was Millwall who dedicated himself to the game and devastated his opponent so that he could not take care of himself.


    From now on, Millwall seems to have lost the interest in playing with his opponent, and hastily ended the offense, as if he disdained to fight the opponent again, and even had no interest in sprinkling salt on the opponent''s wound.


    This turning point is more like a signal, telling the world: When we go all out, no one can stop it, and when we do not pay attention to your mouth? What is your opponent doing?


    Players even played fancy on the field, flower-arranged foot shots, scorpion tail swings, and so on, which are more technical moves that can applaud the audience. Even if the offense cannot be played and the action fails, the audience in the stands will be applauded.


    "At the end of the 90-minute game, European champion Millwall swept South American champion Sao Paulo with a score of 7:0. This is a score gap that we absolutely did not expect before the game. In many mainstream predictions, they are optimistic that St. Paul and Millwall The gap should be around two or three balls, but the trend of the game tells everyone in the world to quantify how much the gap between Sao Paulo and Millwall is no longer meaningful, anyway, Sao Paulo has nothing in the game The power of resistance! They are completely destroyed by the crazy lion of Millwall! Congratulations to Millwall for ending the journey of the World Club Cup with a shocking game. They have won the World Club Cup. Now they can be proud Declared that they are the kings of the world!"


    King of the world?


    Maybe, at least the champion of the World Club Cup can claim to be the world champion, and the media will also quote such prefix titles when writing battle reports.


    In fact, everyone knows that this is just a product of FIFA''s commercialization, and the gold content is negligible.


    Aldrich did not shake hands with Otullio after the game. He thought that Otullio, whether he was intentional or unintentional, seemed to humiliate him!


    As his World Cup champion, European Cup champion, UEFA Champions League, and Premier League ruler, the opponent''s pre-match preparations were so unsightly, Aldridge could not tolerate it, just felt underestimated and not respected enough.


    In Yokohama, FIFA President Blatter Qiang Yan laughed and gave Millwall the championship trophy. Two days later, FIFA awarded the World Footballer''s honorary award to Ronaldinho.


    However, after warning to Millwall before UEFA, at the World Football Awards Ceremony, Blatter¡¯s speech also aimed at the Premier League in a sand. Among them, Chelsea and Millwall were considered by FIFA as the most dissatisfied ball. team!

 Chapter 1147： Lips die cold, fight back!

    At the awarding ceremony for Mr. Football this year in late 2005, Blatter also presented another award created by himself: the President¡¯s Special Award.


    It is awarded to those who have made a special contribution to world football in one year.


    This year, the award was given to a person who is no stranger to Chelsea.


    Swedish referee Frisco.


    The referee was the one who enforced Chelsea against Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League last season and was bombarded by Mourinho after the game. He met with Barcelona coach Rijkaard at the halftime break and violated the rules. , There are allegations that affect the fairness of the game!


    This matter was in full swing last season, in the first half of this year. Frisco even received death threats and was forced to announce his withdrawal from the refereeing field.


    After a short period of time, Blatter presented this special award to Frisco. The outside world seemed to show comfort, but it was also unavoidable that he was considered a victim.


    And made a speech against Chelsea: "If only 11 foreigners are allowed in the 11 starters of a team, then they will focus on the establishment of the youth training system. FIFA is considering such a problem. The number of foreign aid is limited. It is a way, if Chelsea only allows five foreign aids, then Abramovich will not buy the best players in the world and break the market balance. What is happening in Chelsea at the moment should not happen at all, This leads to chaos and disorder."


    Although Blatter pointed at Chelsea, the outside world still believed that Millwall, who was carrying the banner of the Premier League and established a ruling dynasty in Europe, was also criticized!


    why?


    Look at Millwall''s main starters, and even look at their first team.


    How many native English players are there?


    Almost invisible!


    But Blatter would never dare to accuse Millwall of justice!


    Because the focus he elaborated is the cultivation of youth training system.


    Millwall is the best representative of youth training in Europe and the world.


    UEFA do not dare to make a fuss on this point against Millwall.


    According to the current UEFA rules, Millwall has the largest number of young athletes participating in the Champions League every season!


    Local cultivation is not related to player nationality.


    Just like after two seasons, if Arsenal participate in the European War, Fabregas will be labeled with the Arsenal youth training, and has no dime relationship with Barcelona or Spain. This will be clearly marked in the UEFA official website record. .


    Players like Ronaldinho Ronaldo, Ronaldo, Villa, Alonso, De Rossi, etc. of Millwall clearly stated on the UEFA official website: Millwall youth training!


    Blatter dared to highlight this point and attacked Millwall, which is equivalent to confronting UEFA and even the European Union. This is a fire.


    After Aldridge led his team back to London, he still made the topic clear.


    From the outsider''s point of view, he stood up abnormally for the enemy Chelsea.


    Millwall during the World Cup.


    The 17th round of the Premier League continued as usual. Arsenal''s league performance this season was very bad, and the performance in the strong dialogue was also disappointing. Especially when the home was slaughtered by Millwall, Wenger secretly regretted when he returned to midnight dream, so in Haibu When Chelsea welcomed Chelsea, Wenger didn''t have a face, he played a conservative game with Chelsea. Now some fans have called for Wenger to leave class. In order to keep the coach, he has to bow his head for the record.


    Although Chelsea temporarily returned to the top of the standings after Highbury scored 1 point, Millwall missed one game.


    Before returning to England to prepare for this matchup with Birmingham, Aldridge attended a press conference.


    In response to Blatter''s criticism of the Premier League, and specifically named Chelsea''s remarks, he expressed his views.


    "One of FIFA¡¯s responsibilities is to promote the development of football. Mr. Chairman said that Chelsea did not do well. I don¡¯t want to express my opinion. I just want to express my position. Take the players in the Millwall as an example. Billy When he was a child, the living environment was difficult. Millwall brought him to London to let him receive the best football training. Imagine that if we don¡¯t do this, Villa¡¯s growth environment will be different, and the quality of training will be obtained. It certainly does not reach the level in London. This is the reality. The material gap is very intuitive. It has a very obvious effect on the growth of players in a system."


    In fact, UEFA or FIFA, these years have introduced some policies that restrict the transfer of young players. One of the purposes is to prevent clubs like Millwall from prematurely tapping talent resources belonging to other clubs. go.


    So Millwall has followed the rules all these years, and will not dig up any young genius who can talk to the club, then everyone will talk according to the rules, they can¡¯t talk, the sales can¡¯t be fair, and there won¡¯t be dirty in the dark. Digging people means.


    But from Aldrich''s stand, he did not particularly agree with FIFA and UEFA.


    Like in the future, Chelsea will be punished, Barcelona will also be punished, the reasons for the punishment are not the same, Chelsea belongs to being targeted, because the reason for punishing Chelsea is the illegal operation in the recruitment process.


    This is debatable, because the agents of the football circle are unwilling to say: almost no club will recruit according to the rules, and everyone will use some sideways to promote the transfer of players!


    Of course, a well-behaved club like Millwall is really an extinct creature now.


    This naturally also caused Millwall to have a dispute with Ajax, which was almost related to Bo Gongtang. Aldridge did not want to deal with this kind of trouble, because it was a big loss, distracting energy, and not cost-effective.


    But other clubs, almost all have a variety of transfer operations violations.


    But only Chelsea was fined, which belongs to being targeted!


    Barcelona will be fined in the future, it is a violation of the signing, which has little to do with the signing process.


    They introduced FIFA to ban players who cannot be recruited, such as U18 players who cannot make international transfers.


    From the standpoint of the club, of course, we will spare no effort to protect our own human resources.


    But what if you stand in the player''s position?


    South Korea''s "Messi" and Japan''s "Messi", is it better to receive training in Asia from an early age, or is it more helpful to become a talent when you receive training in La Masia at a young age?


    The players themselves should also have the power to choose!


    This is about the player''s own future! Own life!


    Just like a child¡¯s parents will do everything possible to let their children go to a prestigious school, if the government puts in place policies, a child can only choose a school within the local area, not go abroad, or even choose schools across provinces and cities. How much dissatisfaction will this cause?


    Those who have no conditions and no capital, choose local schools, have opportunities and have capital, but cannot send their children to a better environment to cultivate talents, this just doesn''t make sense.


    Putting on Millwall, Aldridge doesn¡¯t particularly care about whether Millwall¡¯s lineup has players of English nationality. After all, the background of East London is a gathering place for immigrants. A large number of Millwall¡¯s fans are of immigrant descent. In addition, now that they are international teams, the marketing goal is global, who cares about how many English players Millwall has?


    However, FIFA really wants to promote the implementation of the foreign aid system in the Premier League step by step, and it is even possible to specifically cancel the unrestricted policy of nationality cultivated locally. In that case, it is very unfavorable for Millwall''s future development.


    Aldridge has no absolute confidence in this matter.


    Despite the history he has experienced, the development of the Premier League has not changed.


    But in the life he is currently experiencing, many changes have taken place in European football. The policy change is one of them, and even includes changes on other continents. Perhaps this is the butterfly effect. For example, Brazil introduced the transfer age of domestic players earlier. Restrictions, such as UEFA earlier introduced the age limit for players'' international transfers.


    Although Millwall and Chelsea are rivals.


    However, in his stand against UEFA and FIFA, Aldridge''s attitude is very firm.


    Millwall and Chelsea are the family affairs of the Premier League.


    It doesn''t matter if you tear your face.


    When the door can be opened and external pressure is ushered in, as the two teams most watched by the Premier League at this time, the relationship between them can be said to be cold!


    Watching a good show on the wall now, maybe Chelsea will be fined in the future, and it is Millwall''s turn to be targeted. Even Millwall may be shot before Chelsea!


    After saying something that was a defense of Chelsea, a reporter from the Guardian on Fleet Street brought the topic to the just-finished World Club Cup.


    "Sir Hall, in the questionnaire survey conducted by this newspaper, 49% of the fans are: Is the World Club Cup a waste of time? The answer to this question is''Yes''. Do you think this shows that the World Club Cup is in the hearts of fans Low status?"


    Aldridge smiled faintly: "I don''t comment, anyway, I think at least if you ask the fans if the World Cup is a waste of time, the fans who will choose the answer of "yes" will definitely not exceed 1%. If it is exceeded, then it means Most of the fans who have been questionnaire surveyed, the national team they support has not entered the World Cup. Oh, if the World Cup is changed to once every two years, it is hard to say."


    A laugh sounded from the scene.


    The Fleet Street reporters cast an admiring glance at Aldridge without knowing it.


    In a word, the news is here again.


    Aldridge is fighting back Blatter!


    Blatter is not only keen to use the World Club Cup to circulate money, he is also actively promoting the ridiculous proposal of "the World Cup is held once every two years".


    The Guardian reporter continued to ask: "The World Club Cup reflects the disparity between the rich and the poor in world football, Millwall''s player value, player salary, player lineup composition, etc. A huge gap, even several times, tens of times, and hundreds of times overtook the opponent. In such a tasteless game, Millwall went to Wanli to participate, but in the finals, the main players spent a lot of energy, and now return to the Premier League to participate In the make-up, there are tough Devil schedules behind, don''t you think about it? Or, although fans think that the World Club Cup is a waste of time, do you care more about this championship trophy?"


    Aldridge frowned.

 Chapter 1148： Die without regret

    Aldridge frowned slightly, his expression became displeased, impatient, and soon returned to normal, he cleared his throat and spoke quietly.


    "I found that the focus of public opinion on Millwall would always fall into an endless loop.


    We are sure to win the game and retain the strength, there are outsiders criticized us for not paying enough attention, lack of respect for the game.


    We went all out to fight for a victory that was not the most important and important, and now, a reporter asked me why Millwall had to make unnecessary consumption.


    I thought about it, and found that the core of the problem may not be Millwall.


    There is only one Millwall, a unique one!


    However, there are many reporters, and there are many people who can open their mouths and talk about Millwall!


    Just now, this reporter, when you asked me, did you know that Millwall was in Japan and was bombarded by many media reporters. Millwall did not show sincerity in the semifinals because the fans wanted to see Millwall in Yokohama. Many stars came on stage, but at that time, no one stood up like your expressed position. Millwall has to consider the Premier League devil schedule. Millwall has to examine how much gold is in the World Club Cup. If there is no one, we will suffer. External criticism.


    Everyone seems to be able to put forward a seemingly tenable point of view to express their views, and then speak quickly, just to stand at the commanding heights of public opinion and wantonly comment on how Millwall is.


    Ha ha ha, this question, I want to understand now that there are too many reporters and too many outside critics, but there is only one Millwall!


    Aldrich Hall, there is only one.


    I have won a lot of shining championships in more than ten years, and my team has gone from being anonymous to the top of the world through more than ten years of hard work.


    As such a brilliant focal point of the green world, why should we listen to your voice?


    If outside critics, your suggestions, and your views really outweigh the disadvantages, then I ask you not to waste your time on Millwall, to give Millwall opponents more ideas!


    Find their problems and help them solve them!


    Because in my opinion, our opponents, whether in the Premier League or in Europe, have more prominent problems than Millwall, you can help them improve and make them better. They meet and can dedicate more exciting games to the fans of this world, thank you! "


    After talking, Aldridge got up and left, and many reporters from the audience raised their hands and planned to communicate with him for a while.


    Aldridge waved his hand and said: "There is no need to discuss this issue anymore. This is just a joke. I don''t need outsiders to advise me how to coach and manage the team. I''m a championship coach, just like no one outside is qualified to arrange Ronaldinho, Henry, Kaka, how to play football, if anyone is qualified, certainly not a reporter or a ball critic, if you think this is my contempt for you, or mocking and humiliation, Uh, I''m not going to apologize, I just said the facts, goodbye."


    Aldridge was gone, but no one was angry.


    Don''t look at them. These contributors always use the old-fashioned tone in the news to point the rivers and mountains, but I really have to say that I can really give a team or player a reference. That is nonsense.


    No matter the reporter or the critics, the main group they face is the public. They write news, most of them are not for the minority of the club or the parties, but for the fans.


    It''s just that when making news, the interaction with the parties is indispensable, which caused Audridge''s dissatisfaction.


    The dissatisfaction will turn to dissatisfaction, and the reporters have news again. Will they change it in the future?


    Hard to say, most probably not.


    It''s just that Aldridge has set rules for them. In the future, don''t bother him with this kind of problem. If he is cold, no one will be annoyed. Obviously, he has received a vaccination.


    The following day, the 17th round of the Premier League came up.


    It''s getting cold, Christmas is coming.


    Aldridge wore a new coat given to him by Ewen, dark green navy style, very tall. Before playing against Birmingham, he did not go to the locker room, but stood at the exit of the player aisle and leaned against it. The wall, with his hands in his pockets, looked into the stadium.


    Today''s fans are enthusiastic, and it is also related to the coming of Christmas.


    Before the game started, there was an episode.


    Ronaldinho will show the fans with the Golden Globe Award and Mr. World Football Awards.


    He defended Mr. Double Football this year, and it is the pinnacle of his career.


    Aldridge hopes that he will not relax immediately, at least as Ronaldinho said when he won the World Football Award: the biggest goal is next year''s World Cup.


    The Brazil team doesn''t care about its strength next summer, as long as he still has his pursuit and goals in mind, this is enough to keep him focused on the court.


    "Hi, boss, it was cool yesterday."


    Ronaldinho is holding two awards and is preparing to walk out of the player''s channel. He stops when he passes by Aldridge, with a smile on his face.


    Not surprisingly, most of the football news reported on Fleet Street today is mostly related to Aldridge, including his retaliation and ridicule of FIFA¡¯s remarks, as well as his response to the outside world talking about Millwall, inevitably posted him arrogant self Big tags, no one in the eyes.


    Aldridge smiled at Ronaldinho and looked back. The players who saw Millwall ready to play were all smiling. They were very proud of the speech at the Aldridge press conference.


    Obviously.


    In this world, no one is qualified to direct Aldridge how to coach the team.


    Similarly, like Ronaldinho and Henry, they don''t think anyone outside is qualified to command them.


    Aldridge raised his hand to touch his nose and smiled at Ronaldinho: "Go ahead, greet the fans, and give me a good game. There is no holiday this Christmas, don''t complain."


    Ronaldinho blinked and smiled: "Boss, don''t you go out with me?"


    Aldridge shook his head with a smile. As a highlight moment of the player, Aldridge has always been conscious and will not grab the mirror.


    Ronaldinho shrugged and seemed to move forward inadvertently, but Aldridge was driven out of the player channel behind Ronaldinho.


    Aldrich turned his head to look at Ronaldo on the left and Kaka on the right.


    He smiled helplessly. At this time, the Master of Lions Stadium held a microphone and said passionately next to the exit of the player channel: "Ladies and gentlemen, let us welcome Mr. World Football, the European Golden Globe winner, this season The great player who completed the defending debut, his name is..."


    In the stands of the Lion King Stadium, tens of thousands of fans shouted a name in unison, and the sky shook the sky!


    "Ronaldinho!"


    Ronaldinho debuted with two personal honor awards, and everyone cheered, and the fans got up and saluted with applause!


    Aldrich didn''t know what he was doing when he was pulled out by the players to grab the spotlight, but after Ronaldinho picked up two awards with both hands, he turned back and put these two awards into Aldrich''s arms.


    Aldridge looked down at the Golden Globe Awards and Mr. World Football Awards.


    To be honest, this is the first time he has embraced two Greenfield players'' personal highest honor awards. It feels a little weird and very special.


    Ronaldinho smiled at him: "Boss, thank you."


    Having finished speaking, he stepped forward and hugged Aldridge.


    The atmosphere of the Lion King Stadium reached an unprecedented climax before the game started!


    Countless fans took this scene with a camera!


    Aldridge''s eyes were a little wet.


    This reminded him of the scene that once touched his heart. Shevchenko took the Golden Globe to the bronze statue of mentor Lobanovsky...


    The bottom of my heart is mixed.


    Sad, Ronaldinho, who has given the highest honor award in front of him, is almost not the best Ronaldinho...


    With pride, he raised his head, and the tearful eyes turned to the side of the court, and saw Nedved, Larsen, Schneider...


    What greatness and glory no longer matter.


    I can meet you in this life, forge the relationship of mentor and disciple, and take a journey of more than ten years of spring and autumn.


    Even Steve Bruce, who stood in front of the visiting team''s coach on the sidelines, was so moved at this moment that he couldn''t help applauding Millwall.


    He is an obvious Milwall hostile camp, affiliated with Mann. Don¡¯t look over when Ronaldinho played, don¡¯t want to see the scenery of others, but Ronaldinho put these two awards in Aldridge¡¯s arms, and At the moment when he actively embraced Aldridge, Bruce looked dazed.


    That''s so enviable!


    Aldrich Hall, you are crazy to jealous!


    In the VIP box of the Lion King Stadium, Bonnie, who was sitting next to her mother, saw tears slipping off Aldridge''s face through the big TV screen of the box. She panicked and looked back at her mother and asked, "Mom, why did dad cry?" "


    Yi Wen reached out and hugged her in her arms, and said softly: "Dad is proud and moved."


    After that, she also reached out and touched the wetness in the corner of her eyes.


    She is the person who can best understand the mood of Aldridge. For more than ten years, she has experienced betrayal, experienced siege, and today, the heights are extremely cold. The more she is at the peak, the more step forward is very difficult. , What supports Aldridge, so that he can stand arrogantly on the side of the greenery as always, why don''t you get this kind of master and discipleship that takes time to accumulate sublimation?


    In the stadium, the players who played Millwall also showed the fans that they had just brought back the World Club Cup trophy from Asia.


    Aldridge packed his emotions on the sidelines and restored his expression to stand on the sidelines.


    His heart was far from being as calm as his expression.


    In his vision of the future, not only did he support the new generation of kings to continue to lead, and lead the crazy lion to continue to expand the territory, at the same time, there are also arrangements for the veterans.


    At least, he doesn''t care what Ronaldinho will become in the future, but he does not allow Ronaldinho''s later career to end with "displacement".

 Chapter 1149： The first half closes

    The opponent of Millwall''s make-up is Birmingham. In the past three seasons, Birmingham''s record has been stable, ranking in the middle of the Premier League.


    Probably with a stable record foundation, Birmingham introduced a lot of players in the new season and reformed within the team. It is estimated that it wants to make a breakthrough in the Premier League. In case it can reach the upper reaches, the qualification for the Champions League is definitely not dare. Think, but if you can enter the League Cup, there must be more sources of benefits for the club.


    However, contrary to expectations, Birmingham, which has been stable for the past three years, suddenly ushered in a record decline in the new season. The league is about to exceed half, and they are struggling in the relegation zone.


    The stability of a team is most vividly reflected in Birmingham, as the Buddhists said: When a person is on the lotus stand, if you don''t move, you are a Buddha, and when you move, you are enchanted!


    Anyone who wants to shake the past stable system has to bear great risks, such as the giants, and the small team is no exception.


    It is not that vigorously recruiting will definitely increase the strength of the team, even if the visual level of the recruited players is definitely higher than the players to be replaced.


    This is the centripetal force of a team and the importance of team stability.


    To go deep, vigorously developing the youth training system is also to ensure the stability of the team from the roots.


    In the face of such a Birmingham, Millwall''s high morale and unity did not give them any chance at home!


    The dominating performance of the whole game made Birmingham lose to the Lion King Stadium 0:2. Millwall still has a convergence because of the need to consider the coming Christmas Devil schedule.


    At the end of the game, the Lion King Stadium burst into enthusiasm, fans whistle wildly in the stands, applaud, cheer, and even Christmas toy salute was sounded by many fans, colorful small strips fluttering in the wind, pervading the Lion King In the stadium!


    "The final game of the 17th round of the Premier League ended. Millwall defeated visiting Birmingham 2-0 at home. Chelsea, who had just returned to the top of the standings, slipped second in the standings again, and compared with the previous round. The situation of Millwall''s goal difference after the same point only, now, Chelsea are behind to give Millwall 2 points! I want to end at the end of the fifth round of the Premier League, Chelsea lead the defending champion with 9 points, after 12 rounds, Mill Wall strongly reversed Chelsea. In the 12 rounds, he scored 11 points more than Chelsea, almost 1 point more than his opponents per round! The Premier League¡¯s suspense must still exist, predicting the future trend, and the situation in front of Chelsea is even worse. , Not only will there be a psychological blow, but in January, they will face the difficulty of going to the African Cup, Millwall is like a rainbow, the invincible mad lion is waking up on the throne for twelve points, any Those who try to provoke this lion must work harder!"


    ...


    Christmas is here.


    This year, the family members of the Hall family traveled back to East London for a grand family gathering.


    Aldrich and his elder brother Barnett, second brother Andrew looked at the children in a room in Arthur''s house, they could not help but sigh the time is running, everyone is in a family, Arthur and Amelia are the happiest, It''s full of children and grandchildren.


    The Millwall Club carefully prepared Christmas gifts for the players. During this year, no players got a holiday. Holidays were held on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. On the 26th, they not only had to play but also went away.


    The morale of the team is so high that no player is slack at this time. Even in previous years, C Ronaldo will show fatigue and suggest that he needs to rest and relax. He has become a training model for the team and is more diligent than others at this time.


    Millwall guest challenged Wigan Athletic.


    Wigan Athletic''s team style in the Premier League this season is wide open, either win or lose, Millwall plays stable on the road, but instead Wigan Athletic seems to be not focused enough at home and Millwall is on the road Beat 3-1.


    In the same round, Chelsea beat Fulham 3:2 at Stamford Bridge. Despite the victory, the gap with Millwall was still 2 points.


    This is very unfavorable for Chelsea, because three days later, Chelsea will be a guest at the Lion King Stadium, ushering in the first direct dialogue between the popular teams this season!


    After Millwall returned to East London from the away, the club had a Christmas dinner, which was regarded as a holiday to give players some entertainment and relaxation.


    The players who brought their family members to the Christmas dinner became the focus of the media. Their dress, female companions, and even family members and children were very interested in the outside world.


    On December 29, the Premier League work schedule ended, although this is not the annual final, because on the last day of the year, on the 31st, there is a league.


    Millwall was at home to wait for the visit of the enemy Blue Chelsea.


    When the Chelsea bus drove from West London to East London, the Chelsea bus was quiet.


    Mourinho was sitting by the window and meditating. The quietness inside Chelsea seems to be a good thing, but in fact this kind of quietness is moving towards death.


    The so-called sorrow is greater than death.


    Did they not perform well enough?


    No, after 18 rounds, 13 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss, 43 points, it is very good.


    Millwall is only 2 more points than them.


    But simply looking at points does not make much sense. To combine this development process, Chelsea can be said to be chased by 11 points in 2 months, which will inevitably affect their internal morale.


    When Chelsea led by Mourinho encountered the British anti-counterfeit with a 4321 extreme anti-snap formation, the gap between Chelsea and Millwall was not only weakly reflected in the points, but became clear at a glance. The gap was huge.


    Chelsea is not home because of intensive defense. Although Mourinho has repeatedly criticized his opponent for swinging the bus, but it does not help, their opponents will stand up and mock Mourinho: What about your team? Since the beginning of last season, anti-anti-play, especially after leading the game time! What is the qualification for such a utilitarian style to blame us?


    The team inevitably produced some discordant disturbances. For example, Ribery made some complaints to the media because he wanted to usurp power and stabilize his main position, and then Mourinho was sent to the cold palace. Now It seems that the transfer window in winter will send Ribery away.


    When the bus drove into the Lion King Stadium, Mourinho recovered from his contemplation.


    His expression changed, and he got into the car with energy, and he knew in his heart that this season''s Premier League title belongs to this battle today!


    At least he thinks so.


    If Chelsea can beat Millwall on the road today and score points ahead of their opponents, this positive influence will make Chelsea firmly hold the advantage and maintain it until the end of the season. After all, the second half of the season is at Stamford Bridge.


    But if Chelsea can''t win, Mourinho doesn''t quite believe that Millwall will make a mistake in the second half of the season. After all, Millwall has struggled to chase Chelsea from 9 points behind to 2 points today, with a kingly temperament. Lion, the more you pay, the more you will get!


    When Mourinho walked into the stadium, he saw Aldridge standing on the sidelines and calmly looked at the stadium. He didn''t know what he was looking at. Mourinho turned his gaze and walked to the visiting team''s coach seat. Fans ridiculed him so much, boos burst, Mourinho ignored all this, quietly waiting for the game to begin.


    Millwall and Chelsea players lined up in the player channel. They did not communicate with each other. It seems that as long as they meet in the green field, they are destined to stay together.


    Starting from the sixth round of the league, Millwall has played 13 consecutive victories in the league. It can be said that the momentum is rainbow and no one can stop it. It is difficult to say how great spiritual stimulation this streak will form for this king¡¯s teacher. Most of them may take it for granted. The self-confidence momentum is different and extraordinary.


    Under the leadership of the referee team, players from both teams entered the battlefield!


    "The first round of the Premier League''s 19th round is about to start. The defending champion Millwall sits at home against his city rival Chelsea. This game is very important as the final half of the league. Although the Premier League has never cared about the half-time champion, Mill Wall and Chelsea are two teams that are extremely eye-catching. They want to compete for the championship. Each point is extremely precious. Millwall scored 14 points, 3 draws and 1 loss with 45 points. Chelsea have one less victory than Millwall. , An average of one more game, with 43 points, this is only 18 rounds of league data, if the same performance in the second half, we can almost be sure that both teams have the opportunity to break the league points 90 points mark, which shows that the Premier League The competition is already very different from the past, as Ferguson said many years ago: in the past, teams with more than 80 points have a high probability of winning the league championship, but now, 90 points may only be the runner-up. Wrong, Manchester United scored more than 90 points one season, but eventually lost to Millwall!"


    "This is the key point of this game. For the two teams, 1 point is particularly valuable, not to mention today''s 6-point battle! Let''s take a look at the starting list of both sides.


    Millwall started 433.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Nesta, Silva, Ram.


    Midfielders: De Rossi, Alonso, Kaka.


    Forwards: C Ronaldo, Henry, Ronaldinho.


    Chelsea started 433.


    Goalkeeper: Cech.


    Guards: Ferreira, Carvalho, Terry, Ashley Cole.


    Midfielders: Makelele, Essien, Lampard.


    Forwards: Robben, Drogba, Joe Cole. "


    Chelsea boss Abu also came to the VIP box of the Lion King Stadium to watch the game today.


    To his dissatisfaction, Shevchenko and Barak can only sit on the bench.


    Mourinho''s internal explanation is that in January we will temporarily lose Drogba and Essien, and by then Shevchenko and Barak will play an important role.


    Abu is increasingly bleak about the prospects of the league championship.


    January?


    It may be January.


    Mourinho, no matter what you do, it is impossible for the league champion to come to Stamford Bridge!

 Chapter 1150： Tired of magic birds

    Lion King Stadium, full of grandstands to cheer the sky!


    The referee whistled.


    Premier League pinnacle battle, start the battle!


    Millwall coach Aldridge.


    Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho.


    The two stood on the side of the field about 20 yards apart.


    Nowadays, the two coaches who are the most watched in England and even Europe have started another confrontation.


    When Aldridge saw Chelsea''s posture after the opening, a sneer smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.


    Ha ha ha, Chelsea, or the anti-anti Chelsea.


    A long time ago, when he was determined to challenge all the famous coaches in the contemporary era, the young Audridge couldn''t wait to fight Mourinho.


    Perhaps at the moment when they first met in the Netherlands, Audridge even had a ridiculous thought at that time: Old Robson simply gave up the position of coach to Mourinho as an assistant, and Mourinho coached at that time. Alien Ronaldo''s gorgeous offensive Barcelona and his first generation of mad lions have a head-to-head matchup.


    In the following years, this expectation may have been worn away while waiting.


    When Mourinho really appeared in his vision as the coach, Odric''s mentality has changed.


    He doesn''t think Mourinho is special.


    It may be due to the experience after reading thousands of sails.


    Two consecutive years in the European Championship finals, coupled with several encounters last season, Audridge has "tired" to face Mourinho!


    Because the other party can''t surprise himself!


    A utilitarian and pragmatic person has few unexpected tricks.


    In the aggressive and adventurous platoon formation, he had many encounters, and Audridge enjoyed playing with Ferguson more than Mourinho.


    Mourinho just grabbed a good hand and then used the most probable way to win the card, and could not win the cheers or shock the world in the most beautiful or shocking way.


    To say that Chelsea has this set of anti-reactions, not to mention how many teams have played in history. When Serie A flourished across Europe, steel defense and utilitarian style were commonplace.


    Look, Chelsea''s defenders are afraid to step out of the restricted area.


    See how obvious the barrier formed by Chelsea''s midfield.


    See, while Chelsea''s wing players are harassing the defense, they are always ready to counterattack from the wing, and Lampard is always ready to plug in the offense.


    Aldrich was tired of his opponent.


    Since the opening, Millwall has been at home, of course he has to oppress his opponents with an offensive posture, and they are doing the same. Chelsea 11 players are in their own half, Millwall has 7 players in the other half, the crowd Obviously concentrated in the half of Chelsea.


    Mourinho stood on the sidelines with a serious look, read the game with great vigour and looked at every detail on the court.


    Today Chelsea is indeed fighting back, but he has new preparations in counter-attack tactics.


    According to the principle of counterattacks in the past, it is to find the largest space in the counterattack as a safe corridor to push the offensive forward.


    Today Mourinho''s tactical arrangement is the opposite!


    In his imagination, if Millwall continues to attack and fail to produce results, the full-back must attack aggressively.


    If Schneider assists up, then Millwall¡¯s right defense is very empty. According to conventional tactical arrangements, in the implementation, Chelsea will fight back and definitely use this side!


    But Mourinho is not the case today, because it is too conventional, Millwall must have a countermeasure, and playing such offensive football all the year round, Millwall must also be accustomed to the opponent''s counterattack routine, using their full back to assist the upside. Come fight back.


    What Chelsea wants to do is to allow Robben to break through Millwall''s defense on the right from the other side as the counterattack advances. Mourinho is confident that as long as Robben can Breaking through Ram, this will make Millwall''s defensive center of gravity further shift to this side. At that time, Chelsea''s offensive end will make an offensive shift again, from right to left, there will be an empty left. Give the wingers on the other side more space!


    His killer is not Drogba, it is precisely two wingers. He made a strong attack on the side in the counterattack, creating the advantages of the two sides, creating a chain reaction of the Millwall defense line, and finally turning back to the other side of the defense that is more lax.


    Is his vision effective?


    Mourinho does not know, no one will know, only the results can prove.


    However, while observing the game, as time passed, Mourinho''s eyes gradually became dignified, and then, a faint panic emanated!


    He turned his head and looked up at Aldridge, who turned his head over his chest as if turning his hands over the clouds in this space!


    I want to ask him a question in my heart: Millwall, the so-called offensive football team, does it also counsel?


    That''s right, on the court, Millwall''s full-backs will never go deep into the enemy''s enemy zone except for the midfield and frontcourt support!


    The fullback''s assists have been significantly weakened!


    Millwall still put Chelsea in his backcourt, suppressing his opponent''s inability to move.


    The reason is that the forward line with Millwall is not excessively forward, the range of movement is in front of the penalty area, combined with the teammates in the midfield and backcourt, their three-line formation is tightly compressed in the space between the two restricted areas, and then passed After controlling the oppression of the opponent and shaping the ultimate offensive situation, Chelsea will not be threatened and counterattacked before the final blow will be carried out. Success or failure, at least the defense will never expose the space to the opponent.


    Chelsea''s defender line shrank behind the big penalty area line, dared not push it out, for fear of being turned offside by his opponent!


    The defender cannot support the midfield. Although the winger is defending, he must always be ready to counterattack. Therefore, he cannot easily run into the middle to support the defense. When Millwall passes in the midfield and the frontcourt, the receiving point looks better than the opponent. The larger number of people, the sudden forward pass often makes Chelsea players panic, immediately retreating deeper to compress the space.


    Mourinho twitched his lips, seeming to suppress his resentment.


    With a play like Millwall, Chelsea''s plan to counterattack fell through.


    The most critical issue is that Millwall does not invest more troops in the penalty area. It is true that the offensive pressure is over half the court, but mainly to create an advantage outside the penalty area. Even if the last blow, as long as there is a good long-range shot Angle, they will make a decisive long shot!


    Millwall really has no shortage of long-range players, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Ronaldo, Alonso, and even Henry retreat from the long-range have great power.


    After playing for 20 minutes, Millwall had a 6-foot shot, all of which were long shots outside the penalty area, while Chelsea had 0 shots.


    On the scene Chelsea is extremely passive.


    "Martin, let¡¯s look at Millwall¡¯s release of Lampard back then. We can¡¯t speculate on Sir Hall¡¯s ideas by simply comparing player capabilities. I think the most important thing is the player characteristics! In today¡¯s game, If we compare the midfield players of the two teams individually, and even compare the combination, you will find that they are not comparable, Lampard, this is the Golden Globe Award and the world football player is the runner-up player, his current Kaka In contrast, it may be stronger, Essien and Makelele, Alonso and De Rossi, it is difficult to say that Chelsea''s midfield is worse than Millwall''s midfield, but the situation on the court intuitively tells us : Chelsea have no advantage in the midfield, they are completely at a disadvantage!"


    "Yes, Chelsea can''t pass the ball in the midfield and shape the game stably. They always tried to pass the ball in Millwall''s clip, but they can''t guarantee the continuation of the attack."


    "Yes, the biggest difference between Chelsea and Millwall midfielders is that Chelsea''s central midfielder Lampard, his desire to move forward is too strong, but what about Alonso? But he stays honestly in a fixed area. Becoming an offensive organizer, not only connects his surrounding teammates, but even forward, he also becomes a response point behind the strike line, and does not always actively move forward to try to score. This is the difference in player characteristics, we can¡¯t Who can be better than others can only be said that in the tactical system where the two teams operate, Alonso will be more suitable for Millwall than Lampard. In contrast, although Chelsea are strong in the midfield, they seem to control the game and change the rhythm. There is no concept. Of course, if someone says that the control game that kills time after Chelsea leads is called control, then when I say nothing."


    "Oh, Millwall''s impression of the outside world in the past decade has been that the control of the midfield is extremely strong. There was Pirlo in the past, and now Alonso. This is probably the outside world has been discussing Sir Hall''s coaching style. Dominate the midfield and bully your opponents wantonly!"


    Aldridge didn''t pay attention to Mourinho''s situation on the sidelines.


    His boredom is not just a psychological manifestation.


    It''s really taken out in the game.


    Perhaps many people think that Millwall wants to prove that he is more powerful than Chelsea, so no matter what formation and tactics Chelsea puts on, Millwall must carry the flag of offensive football to death. Go and crush Chelsea!


    For some time in the past, Aldridge had such an idea. The more utilitarian the opponent, the more I will use the passionate and romantic gorgeous football to do you!


    But now, Aldridge has no such idea.


    He thinks he is more mature.


    Reverse the position, if he is Mourinho, posing an extreme anti-rebellion formation, then, what do you want most?


    Of course, the opponent attacked, attacked recklessly, exposed the space behind him indefinitely, and gave a fertile ground for counterattack!


    If Aldridge gave Mourinho what he wanted, would it mean Aldrich was strong, or Aldridge was hopelessly silly?


    If the game is lost in the end, it is a ridiculous irony, as if you know your opponent''s hole card clearly, but also put a dagger in both hands, allowing the opponent to fully and madly hold the dagger and pierce his body!


    He was reluctant to do such silly things.


    When Mourinho dare to really come to him with a passionate offensive duel, at any rate is a contest of balance of attitude, then he will get rid of this tired of Mourinho.


    Chelsea players are not cheap.


    It is not possible to play Millwall every time. On the scene, when Millwall is attacking, it is at least 7 to 9; instead, when Chelsea is attacking, it becomes 4 to 4 or even 4 to 3, and there is still room for openness.


    Is it fair?

 Chapter 1151： Good job, kid

    For the ruling team, their weaknesses are often not too obvious, otherwise they cannot be on the throne.


    After achieving the summit, most king teams will forget about it and lose "humility" in their posture. Most of them did not have a flaw in the team when they fell, but they were amplified by their opponents. Weakness, and then defeated in one fell swoop.


    It is conceivable that if Millwall played Chelsea at the forefront of recklessness because of the "four kills" last season and rushed into the penalty area, Chelsea had a consciousness before the game and guarded against Millwall doing so, then Chelsea''s counterattack efficiency will invisibly increase again!


    This kind of stupid thing Audric will not do, he will tell Mourinho vaguely through this game: Don''t want to play the king of this land!


    What if the game is a draw?


    Has it failed to represent Millwall?


    No, the king is still king.


    In the standings, Millwall still pressed Chelsea, and Chelsea could not turn the sky!


    Chelsea didn''t take a few counter chances in the first half because Millwall was too stable!


    When Chelsea was about to attack, Millwall''s midfield and backcourt formation remained very tight.


    Chelsea have to play positional battles, at least in front of Millwall, and because of their own technical and tactical characteristics. In terms of positional battles, there are many teams better than Chelsea in Europe.


    In front of Millwall, Drogba was frozen by Nesta, the more mature Silva was also calm about Robben''s intimate threat on the side, and Joe Cole on the other side was killed by Schneider Suppressed.


    Chelsea only caught a two-foot non-threatening shot in the first half. Millwall even though the shot came from a long-range shot or a positioning ball, the offensive threat was clearly higher than the opponent.


    The first half shot 11:2.


    The two teams walked into the locker room with a score of 0:0.


    Aldridge seemed exceptionally calm, while Mourinho frowned, and he was worried and suspicious.


    Even at this moment, Mourinho believes that Audric''s counsel is to fear him!


    Millwall wanted to keep a draw to ensure a lead in the standings.


    If Millwall does not want to win, a draw can be satisfied, then Mourinho believes that this game, Chelsea want to win is hopeless.


    All his tactical assumptions, the environment for winning the game, that is, the way Chelsea goals may appear. In addition to luck and accident, then only counterattacks, counterattacks require Millwall to more aggressively kill Chelsea''s goal.


    Originally, with the passage of time, it should be that Millwall is getting more and more panicked. It is eager to win. At the Lion King Stadium, shouldn¡¯t they be more adventurous at home?


    But Mourinho is not sure now. Once Millwall had a point, Chelsea could only be led by his opponent.


    In the atmosphere of the explosion at the scene, Millwall still perseveredly shot long shots. In the 67th minute of the second half, Ronaldinho got rid of the sway in front of Essien when he shot a long shot from the far corner of the goal and hit the beam. , So that the scene sounded numerous sighs.


    Chelsea will be shocked. Millwall''s long-range threat is too great. If it is not luck, and Cech''s performance is stable, Millwall has already knocked their gates through long-range.


    When the game came to the 75th minute, Mourinho fell into a choice on the sidelines.


    He is thinking about whether to push the boat down the river, and he will simply score 1 point!


    Anyway, it can maintain the gap of 2 points with Millwall, although this seemingly ordinary 2 points will make Chelsea feel extremely bitter.


    When he was hesitating, the situation changed suddenly.


    Chelsea will not come with the idea of ??1 point. Even Mourinho said in the locker room before the game that he firmly said that he was here to get 3 points!


    if not?


    He told the players that we would get a draw, which would hurt the morale of the players, as if Chelsea had surrendered!


    It was 9 points ahead!


    Did you surrender?


    Of course not!


    Therefore, the slogan of 3 points is to improve morale.


    By the end of the game, Chelsea players consciously fight for 3 points!


    They rushed out!


    At this moment, Aldridge on the sidelines and those offensively talented Millwall players on the court invariably screamed in their hearts!


    The confrontation between top teams, psychological contest is a link that can not be ignored.


    Today, Millwall can be said to lack luck, and it can be said that the play is not too good, but in terms of mentality, they are more old-fashioned and more calm, even if they can''t open the game, they never panic, and almost don''t care about the lapse of game time, excellent The psychological quality is also an invisible pressure on the opponent.


    Now, Chelsea can''t breathe!


    When Chelsea started to attack forward, invested more troops, and after the three-line formation, Millwall didn''t need Audridge to command and immediately changed the kick in the battle with the opponent''s hand saw!


    In the 77th minute, after the Chelsea formation was pushed up, the front offensive player was relieved of pressure, so Robben became a little more independent when he had a certain space, and he had to take the ball alone to do it!


    At the Lion King Stadium, Robben always seemed very emotional.


    He bears the infamy of the traitor here, and he was beaten up by Millwall players before he left!


    He was too hard to do so alone. He put too much energy on Silva in front of him. He prepared to make up the Ram on the middle of the side, and De Rossi on the other side was close to him. , But did not take the initiative to grab, is afraid that someone will take a step forward, then exposed the passing space.


    Robben was thinking about what to do next, how to break through this enveloping circle, but no one thought that someone would poke the ball under him!


    Cheers on the spot!


    Ram immediately rushed forward and kicked the ball three meters in front of Luo himself, passing the ball to the man who poke the ball behind Luo himself.


    Robben looked back and saw a little pony tail swaying in the wind.


    Ronaldinho!


    Ronaldinho just touched the ball and immediately attracted a lot of Chelsea players. Both Lampard and Drogba were rushing towards him. Ronaldinho took the ball to the middle and avoided Lampard.


    After Kaka gets the ball, he starts to advance the dribbling immediately!


    The speed is unstoppable.


    Essien and Makelele are facing the enemy, seeing Kaka rushing to the ball, they are ready to intercept head-on, Essien will come first, and then, Makelele.


    However, when Kaka was about to come to Essien, Kaka suddenly turned, dribbling the ball laterally and almost no longer forward.


    Essien''s pupils are shrinking and unbelievable. He seems to want to ask the other party: Where are you going? The goal is not that direction!


    Essien instinctively moved laterally to chase Kaka, but he just moved, he and Macclere distance opened, the pass line appeared!


    Kaka quickly passed the ball from Essin to Makelele diagonally!


    Henry touched the ball behind Makelele, and he has now reached the forefront of the penalty area!


    The Chelsea defender line has been a little panicked at the moment, the whole game, the first time to give Henry a more relaxed environment to control the ball.


    Henry also handled the ball in an unconventional way. He took the ball one step forward and looked at it to hit Carvalho''s defense, but suddenly pulled the ball laterally, and in the blink of an eye, it was like going to Terry.


    Both Carvalho and Terry were surprised to block Henry from time to time, and the Chelsea defender failed to achieve defensive movement consistency.


    Ashley Cole was originally staring at Cristiano Ronaldo, especially when he pressed Cristiano Ronaldo''s offside line, but the defender did not reach an agreement.


    When Henry moved the ball diagonally behind Setri and Carvalho, at the same time, Ronaldo rushed past Ashley Cole. Ashley Cole used his hands and feet to do everything possible to stop Ronaldo. In this physical entanglement and confrontation, Ronaldo simply shoveled out at the penalty spot!


    Cech had already abandoned the goal, but Ronaldo''s toes were faster, and he stabbed the ball in the direction of the goal. Cech and Ashley Cole collided together, and Terry returned to the defense to avoid the emergency brake. Step on Ashley Cole and roll to the ground!


    People in Chelsea''s restricted area turned back!


    The ball rolled slowly into the goal!


    Ferreira flew a shovel and wanted to save the drive in front of the goal line, but he could only roll into the goal with the ball!


    boom!


    The sound of Lion King Stadium is like thunder and thunder!


    Ronaldo got up from the ground, turned his head to look in the direction of Henry, and looked at his teammates who looked at him at different distances and showed a wild smile. He roared with excitement and ran to the side of the court to greet the fans!


    "The goal was scored! C Ronaldo broke the deadlock on the field. Millwall played this fast break beautifully. Ronaldinho attacked in the midfield and backcourt. Kaka drew the ball for a distance and sent a direct pass. Henry was Before the penalty area attracted Terry and Carvalho, and behind the defender, C Ronaldo grabbed a shot. Although the strength may be a little lighter, no matter how hard the Chelsea players can''t stop the ball from rolling into the goal!"


    Mourinho wiped his face on the sidelines, and thoughts were lingering in his head.


    It seems that this lost ball once again confirmed a "truth" that he believed in: if you want to defeat Millwall, don''t take the initiative to attack!


    In the VIP box at the Lion King Stadium, Chelsea boss Abu witnessed the team drop the ball and stood up without expression.


    Aldridge smiled and said to himself: "Good job, kid."


    Since he talked with Cristiano Ronaldo at the beginning of the season, Cristiano Ronaldo cannot be said to have a new look in the past few months, but it is obvious that his aggressiveness on the court is stronger. His strong fighting spirit and enthusiasm for victory can stand out at the crucial moment, that is, A very good sign.


    Chelsea did not have the advantage on the scene, and now the score is behind. Aldrich did not let the team posture back, but kept the team unchanged and continued to put pressure on Chelsea. Only under pressure will Chelsea only Being continued to be suppressed!


    The score of 1:0 was maintained until the end of the game.


    Chelsea ushered in the second defeat of the new season. After defeating Old Trafford, he returned to the Lion King Stadium again.


    The Premier League ended the first half of the new season, Millwall with 15 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss record, with 48 points ahead of second place Chelsea 5 points to lead the standings!

 Chapter 1152： Encountered a pseudo "dream two"

    After Chelsea defeated the Lion King Stadium, the voice from Stamford Bridge was: When will Mourinho finish class?


    The excellent situation of the league in the new season was lost in the middle of the half. Millwall reversed Chelsea strongly, from backward to leading, which is an amazing gap of 14 points!


    Abu apparently exhausted Mourinho''s patience.


    However, if the team coach is sacked in the middle of the season, even if Abu thinks that the league has basically no play, but Chelsea has the Champions League, the impact of the change of coaching on Chelsea may be equal to completely burying all the fronts of the season.


    After all, in this Chelsea formation, Mourinho¡¯s heirs do not have the main force like Carvalho Ferreira, but also include the players introduced after he took office, Drogba, Essien, Cech and other players have relations with him Superb, if Mourinho left, no matter who the next coach is, if you want to control the locker room, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve perfection in a short time.


    Under the leadership of Aldridge, Millwall steadily moved forward after adjusting to the best state in the new season. The morale encouragement from the victory over Chelsea was very obvious, so that they did not lose 1 point in the Christmas Devil schedule and won the victory. Record!


    Stepping into 2006, Aldridge''s days were in order, and the Millwall team didn''t need a coaching staff to remind them, and entered the preoccupied rhythm in advance.


    More conscious than before.


    For Millwall, the goal set for this season is very realistic. Although it seems far away, the players are all looking there: the second three consecutive Champions League!


    There is a World Cup in the summer, and there will be a UEFA presidential election at the end of the year.


    In January, the FA Cup started, and the bench lineup, which had been adjusted for rest some time ago, began to explode. From the beginning of joining the FA Cup team, it has been on the whole road. It has faced non-English Premier League teams and has won more than 4 goals in a single game. ''S big score games appear frequently!


    Nedved, Larsen and other veterans are leading the maturation of the substitute players, Verroso, Moutinho, Messi''s growth is obvious to all, before ushering in the end of February Champions League knockout, Millwall must be reasonably allocated Player fitness, like Aguero, will occasionally be transferred to the first team to play for about 20 minutes.


    Before the arrival of the Champions League 1/8 finals, Millwall has extended his lead to 6 points in the Premier League. In the past six Premier League games, Millwall has won 3 and 3, and the results are not particularly good. Their first half The terror streak that started in the middle of the season was also ended at this time. Chelsea, who was not in the second place in the standings, as expected, during the start of the African Cup in January, the team''s league results fluctuated. They Winning 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, Millwall had a draw more than them, so the points gap increased by 1 point.


    After the FIFA game day in mid-February, England played the FA Cup schedule on the weekend. Millwall sent a full substitute to win the game, and then quietly waited for the opponents of the Champions League 1/8 final to visit the Lion King Stadium.


    The result of the draw was announced long ago.


    Millwall vs Barcelona!


    Most of the outside media commented on the lottery results in anticipation of such a giant showdown, but the Catalan media screamed for Barcelona!


    The Champions League''s own group draw system is protecting the interests of the giants. As long as the giants steadily get the results that match their strength, the probability of encountering a strong team in the 1/8 knockout will be relatively low.


    It''s like, if Millwall won the group first, they wouldn''t be able to win the same Barcelona in another group.


    However, Millwall ranked second in the group stage, allowing Inter Milan to get the group first.


    In fact, Millwall doesn¡¯t care. It doesn¡¯t matter who draws. It¡¯s right to play as usual. This is not only Aldridge¡¯s mentality, but also a consensus among Millwall¡¯s players. This mentality is from stress to perseverance for many years. , Shaped by time precipitation.


    Therefore, the Catalan media cannot openly accuse Millwall of being indifferent: it is shameful to have the strength of the group first, but not to strive for the group first.


    They attacked Millwall with the same view and position as UEFA, and again said Millwall lacked respect for the Champions League.


    Damn, if you go all out in the group stage, can Inter Milan take the first place in the group?


    Don''t joke, you will burn high fragrance without being double-killed by Millwall!


    Now it''s okay, Barcelona will face the European king in the 1/8 final, defending champion Millwall.


    At the pre-match press conference, Aldridge was only routinely interviewed, and did not want to pinch against the media, no matter what his position was.


    In fact, in addition to the local media, namely Fleet Street, Aldridge can ignore the media of other countries or regions.


    After all, external attention is always temporary.


    Just like the Catalan media is now staring at Millwall, what does it mean for Aldridge to pinch with them?


    After the 1/8 finals, no matter what the result is, basically there has been no intersection for a long time. The verbal dispute is like a shrew cursing the street.


    It is because Fleet Street has a continuous influence in the homeland. Once Aldridge started fighting with the media, most of the opponents were Fleet Street. There is no way to allow Fleet Street to continue to exert public influence.


    On February 23, the Lion King Stadium was full.


    Tonight the breeze is blowing, the sky is not particularly clear, Millwall ushered in the challenge of Barcelona at home.


    Aldridge felt as if he was still in the water and encountered today''s Barcelona. Of course, there was no excitement against the "Dream II in History".


    At least now Barcelona, ??lack of a core player in the original history: Ronaldinho.


    However, without Ronaldinho, it does not mean that the team is worthless. The strength of the same period will have an impact, but the gap may be the distance between the peak and the first-class middle and upper. Under the black swan Rijkaard, the new generation of Barcelona players he vigorously cultivated is Iniesta.


    Speaking of course, there is of course Adrige¡¯s credit. On the one hand, Ronaldinho is in Millwall, and on the other hand, many years ago, Adrici tried to "in solemnly" introduce Iniesta from Barcelona.


    This made Barcelona very vigilant. In addition to rejecting Millwall¡¯s official purchase, he also paid more attention to Iniesta. After Rijkaard took office, he began to train Iniesta into the main player and served as the first team. More important role, more than two years of hardening, although the little white Iniesta has not yet reached the peak, but also has good combat effectiveness.


    Rijkaard did not like London. Last season, he led his team to the city, just west of the Lion King Stadium, another famous stadium in the city. He led the team to play against Chelsea, and the result almost made him wise. Ruined, bearing the vicious charge of ¡°affecting the referee to secretly control the game¡±.


    When I came to the Lion King Stadium today, it was an unprecedented tremendous pressure that haunted my heart.


    Stepping into this top court, and seeing the young man standing at the sideline of the court with a friendly look at him, Rijkaard involuntarily walked over, and the two reached out to each other, just a simple greeting and a polite conversation , But there is a sense of sight.


    Aldridge and Rijkaard have no grudges, at least he doesn¡¯t hate Barcelona, ??and as the host, he takes the demeanor to greet the guests, which is not wrong.


    Rijkaard belongs to a rather regrettable role in his eyes, not specifically when the locker room in the original historical dream two crashed into chaos, but that Rijkaard almost succeeded in the 2000 European Cup.


    During the European Championship, the Dutch team, one of the hosts, led to the semi-finals under the leadership of Rijkaard, and then something sad happened.


    The Dutch players stood in front of the penalty spot 6 times and lost the penalty 5 times!


    Achieved the "Santo Dorto Miracle" of Liufang Baishi.


    The longer he is coach, the more Adrige feels sorry for Rijkaard.


    Such a situation really makes the head coach helpless!


    6 penalties, 5 penalty penalties, and a chance to solve the battle within the regular time, but let Italy escape a miraculous performance.


    Aldridge returned to his familiar position in the stadium, waiting for the game to begin.


    Regarding encounters with Barcelona, ??there must be pressure. Millwall is not strong enough to face Barcelona and has the same mentality as playing an ordinary team, but the more pressure, the more it will make players and coaches more excited.


    Abuse of food cannot be a god!


    The more the king, in fact, the deeper the heart, the more they look forward to the challenging game, which is their driving force, the difference is that perhaps the ordinary team encounters such pressure, although it may seem on the surface how challenging and exciting The motivation of the self may be a fearful feeling deep in the heart, and it is also tempting to die on the court, but it is not good enough.


    But after all, Rijkaard is not one of Aldridge¡¯s most anticipated opponents in this era. The Barcelona he coaches is more like a product that is in line with the Dutch football philosophy. It is nice and elegant, offensive football, not good. In other words, in fact, Rijkaard kept trying a good hand to play a strategy, then found the best strategy, and then fixed it.


    Although Barcelona was recognized as beautiful and elegant during this period, the offense was like a cloud in the sky, and it was vague, but in the end, as Rijkaard represented in the height of football: that''s it.


    Compared with the later Guardiola, it is possible to present the "advantages" on the football field to the world in a three-dimensional manner, bringing about subversive changes, and truly raising the football style to the point of substantial ideas. What is Rijkaard''s style? It''s just that some popular modified definitions, placed on other coaches, will also work.


    This is Barcelona. It is by no means constant for two decades. Each period has different characteristics. It is not really an inevitable qualitative change brought about by perseverance.

 Chapter 1153： Swallow the world or burn jade

    "The battle of the giants in the first round of the 1/8 final of the UEFA Champions League took the lead at the Lion King Stadium. The defending champion Millwall ushered in the challenge of the La Liga giants Barcelona! Today the players of both sides elaborate, we have Reason to expect this will be a wonderful game.


    Millwall started 433.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Nesta, Silva, Ram.


    Midfielders: De Rossi, Nedved, Kaka.


    Forwards: C Ronaldo, Henry, Ronaldinho.


    Barcelona started 433.


    Goalkeeper: Valdes.


    Guards: Belletti, Marcos, Puyol, Van Bronckhorst.


    Midfielders: Ed Milson, Harvey, Deco.


    Forwards: Guli, Eto''o, Iniesta. "


    On Millwall''s side, Alonso will come back in the near future due to injuries, but he can''t catch up with this game, and Audridge is not too worried. Experienced Nedved is very reassuring.


    After the game started, Aldridge wanted to see if Rijkaard would bow his head to reality and come to the Lion King Stadium to play a utilitarian game.


    When the game started, Aldridge smiled excitedly!


    Barcelona, ??I really don''t admit it!


    The first to kick off, they even wanted to win first, and suddenly started the offensive storm without warming up!


    Good kind!


    Dream godfather Cruyff, and later Van Gaal, now Rijkaard, the impact of the Dutch offensive football concept on Barcelona is not an overnight, but an era, more than ten years, or even twenty years of influence !


    This kind of courage that either swallows mountains and rivers, or burns jade stones, Aldrich appreciates it!


    At least, everyone can fight!


    Even though the combination of Harvey and Iniesta is not the dominant midfield combination in the future, at least in terms of player position, there is still a Deco between them, but the talents and talents of the two have begun to show.


    Harvey is an absolute midfielder who is not very fast, but he runs very high per game, that is to say, he rarely has a surprising acceleration burst, but he is present at a steady rate in the 90-minute game Running up, covering the midfield, and his role make his role in the team very obvious, that is, the response point seems to have increased.


    Using non-stop running, interspersed with free time, so that his teammates will not fall into the situation where the pass can not find people, at the same time, his excellent organizational talent, but also allows him to ensure the team control in the unstoppable and stopless pass The right to the ball keeps the offense steadily.


    Iniesta is characterized by ball control ability and a small range of breakthroughs. It can be said that Barcelona¡¯s lineup configuration today is a bit similar to Arsenal¡¯s former wing. The left wing is played by players with front waist abilities. The right wing The breakthrough player is used as a winger for the player who accelerates and then plugs in the outstanding ability.


    Iniesta, Deco and Xavi three consecutive passes in the frontcourt to disrupt Millwall''s defense.


    Against the first day of Barcelona, ??Millwall players were also surprised.


    Like Nedved''s defense zone, Deco will often appear, and at the same time be wary of Harvey''s back plug, but Harvey and Deco, who do not seem to be fast, will always run to the place where they are available to catch the pass. Even if the space is very small, they will not fail them.


    Deco is a familiar opponent to Millwall. In the past two years, Deco has become more mature than when he was in Porto. At the same time, he is in a tactical system, and the ability of his teammates has also improved than when he was in Porto, so he has naturally played. Ascension, this is the team chemistry reaction.


    Continuous passes on the left, one pass makes the ball run fast, Barcelona''s offense is beautiful, it is inseparable from their passing mode, which is strange and unpredictable.


    The most deadly is the last transfer.


    At the beginning of the game, Iniesta passed three consecutive passes in the third minute, and for the fourth time, he suddenly made a breakthrough from the sideways in front of Schneider. When he attracted other Millwall defensive players, he suddenly The ball was returned to Harvey at the back right.


    Harvey didn''t stop the ball forty yards away from the goal. If he stopped the ball, Kaka would defend on his side, limiting his possession. Harvey hit the ball with an oblique straight shot, allowing the attack Immediately from the left side road to the right side of the deep zone.


    Juri, who was inserted forward, bypassed Ram and received the ball in front of the baseline. Then he swept the ball to the front with one foot.


    The alert African cheetah Eto''o started, with a bloodthirsty threat to quickly grab a spot in front of the door, Silva turned back to block the ball with a sliding shovel, but he was a step slower and failed to hit the ball, the critical moment Still, Nesta disturbed the opponent in front of Eto''o and kicked the ball out first.


    He made a diagonal shot and didn''t want to give the opponent a corner kick. He naturally kicked in the direction of the side, but he didn''t expect it on the right. Belletti received the ball, stopped the ball, passed the pass, and directly passed the ball to Millwall. On the edge of the middle of the restricted area of ??the zone, Deco hit the ball with a long shot!


    boom!


    The ball hit Drossi well and rebounded!


    De Rossi did not talk to Dydeko, he did not dodge when the opponent shot, the ball hit him on the shoulder and popped!


    The momentum after the opening of Barcelona excited their fans from afar, and also made Millwall players excited!


    Rijkaard saw the team''s offense failed on the sidelines, even though the threat came out, but there was still a clear gap from the goal, he immediately made a gesture on the sidelines to let the players return to the defense!


    The popped ball was obtained by Kaka. Kaka made a lateral pass fake to fool Harvey, and then directly dialed the ball forward to accelerate the start. Harvey stretched his hand and pulled Kaka''s arm, Kaka Without looking back, he shook his arm away and strode the meteor forward!


    When the ball came to the front waistline, Kaka made a breakthrough diagonally, and after Ed Millson moved the center of gravity, he passed the ball to the left.


    Belletti hasn''t returned to defense yet, and Ronaldinho is unmarked. After receiving the ball, Ronaldinho passes straight!


    Henry turned away from the Barcelona defender line and kept knocking the ball back to Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho also kept the ball and made a pass!


    It still looks like Henry!


    But Henry missed the ball!


    Marcos and Puyol were shocked to see the ball rolling past the two of them, and rolling behind them, Marcos immediately turned around, but saw a figure that was striking and slid into the strong diagonally!


    Ronaldo!


    The starting speed exploded the Ronaldo of Van Bronckhorst. After Ronaldinho and Henry consecutive passes and Ronaldinho''s last pass and Henry consciously confused the opponent and missed the ball, the direct counter-offside succeeded!


    Ronaldo grabs a kick and volleys!


    It''s a pity that Vald¨¦s immediately abandoned the door when the defender was penetrated. Perhaps he is just like Van Gaal commented: the large range of activities is his advantage.


    Cristiano Ronaldo''s volley shot also hit the opponent''s body!


    Valdes hit C Ronaldo with a chest shot!


    The popped ball was immediately kicked out of the sideline by Ed Millson.


    "At the beginning of the game, the two sides launched a wonderful confrontation! The two teams'' offense is simply amazing. The fans must not blink, otherwise they will miss the beautiful moment!"


    Aldridge smiled sideways, and Rijkaard looked serious.


    For Rijkaard, he knew how difficult his choice and persistence were.


    Want to use an attack to destroy Millwall?


    too difficult!


    It''s hard to believe that in Europe, almost no one will believe that this will succeed!


    Look at Millwall''s offensive players, Henry, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo. Any of these are huge threats. Playing against Millwall will definitely give these players more room to play. Chelsea It was lost to Millwall, but at least when Chelsea played Millwall, their choice, no one would feel that there was a problem. The core of the problem of losing to Millwall in the league is: Chelsea¡¯s positional ability to attack, not special Refers to the confrontation with Millwall, the league is not a cup, it is a system with more points than anyone.


    Odric appreciates Barcelona''s courage to play against Millwall, but in terms of the game itself, his chances of winning have improved.


    You know, although Barcelona is adhering to the style of Dutch offensive football, but during this period, their concept of game control has not yet reached qualitative change. Only when the Guardiola era comes will this feature be explosive. sublimation!


    And Millwall?


    In their training, the offensive group and the defensive group confront each other. Such unexpected offensive transfers are used by defensive players.


    You know, although Silva and De Rossi are teammates with Ronaldinho Ronaldinho, they will be opponents in training confrontation!


    Use Ronaldinho''s terrifying offensive power to hone their defensive awareness and ability!


    So despite the fact that Barcelona did very well on the court, at least in the midfield, the fast pace shifted the offensive through unexpected passing.


    However, in the most dangerous area, they still have difficulty in playing efficiency. Millwall only makes them seem to be able to raise the offensive banner, but in the key position of the duel and defense, Millwall is doing very well.


    On the other hand, Barcelona is clearly inferior to Millwall at this point.


    Perhaps because Ronaldinho, Henry, Ronaldo, Kaka, these players are unique.


    Even in Barcelona training, like Millwall, they can use offense to sharpen their defensive ability, but the quality of the offense is different, and the defensive players have experienced different tests.


    In the 19th minute of the first half, Ram broke through the backcourt with a stoppage from Harvey to Eto''o. Immediately in the penalty area, Ram made a bold long pass to attack, although it looked Going up is more like a relief.


    However, the ball landed precisely on Ronaldinho''s foot in the midfield.


    Ronaldinho turned the ball and drew forward, revealing an unprecedented momentum. In the process of going forward, Kaka inserted a running position before the strong pressure on the middle road to cover Ronaldinho, allowing Ronaldinho to complete in front of Ed Milson. Diagonal dribble breakthrough, which disturbed the opponent''s defense of the defender line. After completing the disturbance from left to right, Ronaldinho then passed the ball diagonally to the other side of the penalty area and passed the reverse cut line!


    Kaka inserted the running position directly into the penalty area. When Ronaldinho''s pass came, Kaka was in the area behind the far corner of the goal. He waited for the ball to hit the ground. Henry outflanked the goal and sent the ball into the goal!

 Chapter 1154： Viper

    "Millwall took the lead in breaking the deadlock! Henry set the record for the first time, he set a record for the goal of the European War! Millwall''s offense is too difficult to prevent. When Kaka rushed, his acceleration and impact brought the consequences to the opponent. Can''t keep up with his rhythm, and with a passing star like Ronaldinho, Millwall can do whatever he wants on the offensive end, as long as they have room!"


    Rijkaard¡¯s expression did not fluctuate too much, maybe he was already well aware!


    After all, let Barcelona go against their customary techniques and tactics and use a conservative strategy to deal with Millwall. They may not be able to adapt themselves, which may make Barcelona eliminated in a very suffocating and useless way.


    Can you advance to the quarterfinals, you can only fight by attacking!


    The new defense leader Puyol dragged Edmilson to his side and solemnly reminded him: be sure to ensure the tightness of the defense of the Iron Triangle!


    Now Barcelona has changed a lot compared to the team that Millwall played before.


    For example, like Guli, Eto''o, Ed Milson, Belletti, Marcos, etc., these are players who have not played with Millwall before, and they have only actually fought on the field, and are immersive. To be able to discover problems that were not expected when preparing for the game.


    They are self-correcting and adapting to the game to adjust defensive strategies and improve defensive quality.


    Barcelona¡¯s adjustments have achieved initial results. Marcos, Puyol, and Ed Millson protected the fan-shaped areas inside and outside the penalty area very well, but they still did not solve the offensive problems and could not do better in the final pass. The players Positioning does not create great opportunities.


    Millwall should respond to Barcelona''s defensive adjustments, and the offensive end will naturally adjust accordingly.


    They stepped up long-range shots outside the penalty area and tore the empty space with frequent lateral transfers in front of the penalty area.


    When the shooting angle appears, a long shot from outside the penalty area is taken diagonally.


    In the 33rd minute of the first half, Cristiano Ronaldo moved to the middle of the road on the right. Ronaldinho and Kaka continued to pass in the middle of the road. With the support of Henry in front, Nedved in the rear and side Ram, continuous pass Attracted Barcelona''s defensive center of gravity, and finally Ram passed a diagonal pass from the front of the midfield to the ball to Ronaldo''s feet.


    Ed Milson didn''t dare to save it, Harvey''s position was further away, Van Bronckhorst came out a little slower, Iniesta was thrown away when Ronaldo started.


    Outside the penalty area, diagonally to the goal, Ronaldo kicked his feet and blasted a visual world wave!


    The ball went straight to the upper left corner of the goal, like an arrow from the bow pierced Barcelona''s defense and entered the goal dead end!


    Ronaldo opened his arms and ran wildly around the field with passion!


    "Millwall expanded the score and led Barcelona 2-0! Their offensive methods are too rich, dribbling breakthroughs, team pass and cooperation, personal long shots, etc., they are omnipotent on the offensive end! Barcelona are brave, but , But they have difficulty restricting Millwall from doing whatever they want in front of them!"


    At this moment, far away in North America, a Barcelona star is watching this Champions League 1/8 final in front of the TV.


    It is Guardiola who is planning to announce his retirement this year.


    He is currently earning his coaching certificate and carefully read the match between Barcelona and Millwall.


    After losing the second ball in Barcelona, ??Guardiola was shocked and shocked.


    He understands that the Barcelona offensive seems to have an advantage, but for the overall situation of the game, it does not create absolute control. It is this uncontrollable environment that gave Millwall the basis for his unbridled attack!


    The passionate Dutch offensive football concept seems to be more irrational than England''s decayed rhythm.


    On the other hand, Millwall is also passionate. Offensive performances are nowhere to be found, and there is no established rule. Their players can appear in any area of ??the frontcourt. However, behind this "disordered freedom", but It can make people intuitively feel the powerful "rational" support.


    For example, the role played by the player during the offense, the tasks undertaken, and the contributions made. In fact, as long as you do not look at the players rigidly by area, it is not difficult to find this. Also, in defense, Millwall always maintains the center and backcourt. Strong support, the players also perform their duties, run smoothly, and the integrity is very tight.


    Guardiola took out his notebook and began to record, thinking about observing everything he witnessed, trying to create his own football philosophy.


    ...


    In the Lion King Stadium, Barcelona did not reach the half, and they already smelled of death.


    Two goals behind, Rijkaard felt a sense of powerlessness all over his body.


    Against the whole as a whole, Barcelona is no match for Millwall!


    In such a situation, one can only hope that the individual players can play exceptionally well.


    Is this contrary to Rijkaard''s coaching ideas?


    Discard the whole and rely on the individual player?


    No, there is no contradiction at all.


    It can even be said that it is the essence of the "sword qi battle" within Dutch football.


    For example, Michels, the father of the full attack and defense, has repeatedly emphasized the importance of tactics, but there are still some Dutch colleagues who pointedly pointed out: Without Cruyff and the contemporary Dutch geniuses, your full attack and defense will be on paper!


    Yes, the Dutch football philosophy offensively promotes the whole, but it is always impossible to justify itself: why at a critical moment, the role of individual heroism always looks more convincing than team effort!


    Playing as a whole, Barcelona can''t compete, their players on the field can feel it themselves, so actively starting to play their personal abilities has become a conditioned choice.


    The result really made them catch a goal!


    In the 41st minute of the first half, Deco passed the ball to the retreating Eto''o. When Eto''o stopped the ball, he wanted to complete the continuous stop. However, Silva''s choice to move the ball forward was pierced by Silva. !


    Silva stretched his foot to intercept. It seemed that the first contact was successful. He touched the ball, but the ball was not clean. The ball rebounded on Eto''o''s leg and rolled behind Silva. Silva, who lost her weight behind her feet, seemed to be beaten by Eto''o for a time difference, and the latter quickly rushed behind Silva!


    Despite the seemingly staggering luck component, Eto''o is gone!


    Nesta had to quickly rush over to make up the defense, but Nesta''s speed was really a bit different from that of Eto''o. Eto''o came directly in the penalty area and made a low-level shot to send the ball into the ball. Inside the far post of the goal!


    "Barcelona pulled one back near the end of the first half. The ball was entirely based on Eto''o''s personal ability. Thiago Silva was very annoyed by the goal loss. He bowed his head and said something, and shook his head slightly. ."


    At this time, Aldridge made a hand-waving gesture in the direction of Silva on the sidelines, meaning that he didn''t have to care.


    There is no team in the world that does not lose the ball. Silvana is not a low-level mistake, but it is definitely a small mistake. The ball is not clean, and it is also related to the ability of the opponent. Eto''o is not an unknown.


    The first half ended with Millwall 2-1 Barcelona.


    Aldridge did not return to the locker room for the first time. He and his colleagues in the coaching staff went to the corner of the corridor to smoke a cigarette.


    Comprehensive coaching staff''s views on the game.


    Aldridge made a tactical adjustment at halftime.


    Barcelona''s defensive iron triangle pays more attention to the protection of the fan-shaped area in front of the door. Millwall wants to break the opponent''s point. In addition to long-range shots, some changes must also be made on the front line.


    In the second half, Millwall changed his formation, at least it looked like an asymmetric unilateral 433.


    Ronaldo and Henry played double forwards in the penalty area. Ronaldinho and Kaka were the second echelon. Afterwards, they sent artillery shells for them. The side assists rely more on the full-backs.


    Rijkaard saw Millwall''s adjustment in the second half, and thought Millwall''s move was the impact of Ronaldo and Henry''s strengthening of the danger zone in the penalty area, but he guessed wrong!


    One of the main tasks of Henry and Ronaldo is to increase the defensive pressure of Marcos and Puyol and distract them!


    Then, the real trick is in the back row!


    Kaka, Ronaldinho?


    No, this is too obvious.


    Harvey can assist the frontcourt, and Millwall has the corresponding position, and naturally can also press more aggressively.


    It¡¯s just that the old and sturdy Nedved is not alone, it is a blockbuster!


    In the 59th minute of the second half, Ram passed in the sideline, and Nedvide plugged into the back row unmarked, leaping high in the penalty area, the male wind was not reduced. In that year, the blonde **** of war solidly headered and broke the goal. The gate guarded by Valdes!


    Aldridge saw Nedved break the door and waved his fists in excitement.


    Rijkaard bowed his head on the sidelines to hide his face. He felt that Aldridge was like a viper, which made him a little creepy. He either paralyzed his opponent inadvertently, or hid the fatal blow of the killer in a vigorous scene!


    If the score of 2:1 can make Barcelona shocked, then the score of 3:1 and the lapse of the game time will make Barcelona a little calm.


    In terms of team temperament, Barcelona also lost to Millwall. Now Millwall, under the adjustment of Aldridge, even if there is little time left, never panic, almost can not see when they lose their minds.


    Barcelona showed anxiety and always wanted to copy the goal with his own ability. But Millwall did not give them any chance. With Barcelona¡¯s personal breakthroughs and frequent failures, their ball rights were lost more and more. Milvo Seoul''s offense is even more threatening. In the frequent rhythm transition, Millwall inserted the ball after Kaka passed in the 80th minute, waded the ball, broke through, and entered the penalty area in one fell swoop, completing the goal!


    Millwall and Barcelona''s Champions League 1/8 finals faced off at the Lion King Stadium and ended with a defending champion 4:1 victory.

 Chapter 1155： Do everything

    Millwall has a strong momentum in the second half of the season, and it is also related to the full preparation of the UEFA national teams for the World Cup without consuming excessive players on FIFA game days. Like Sweden and the Czech Republic who have entered the World Cup, Audridge and Their national team coach communicates privately, in order to ensure that players have more energy to participate in the summer World Cup, in the case of the national team has been qualifying, as much as possible to reduce the players in the first half of the FIFA match day most of the friendly game consumption, the national team The coaches all understand very well, and even on the grounds of training, they did not call Nedved and Larson on the FIFA match day in February.


    Millwall beat Barcelona at home. Although it is only the top 16, it is in the media that this Millwall dominates in Europe and no one can stop it!


    On March 9, Millwall returned to Catalonia and ended 1:1 in the Camp Nou and Barcelona in 90 minutes. The total score of 5:2 successfully advanced to the Champions League.


    The confrontation between Aldridge and the Black Swan Rijkaard in the Champions League is more like a contest between competitors in the same way. Aldridge is too much ahead and Rijkaard is unable to catch up.


    This is different from the war between Aldridge and Mourinho. The style is different, and the factors of suspense are more complex and unquantifiable.


    Although Millwall scored 4 wins and 1 draw in the five Premier League games from the end of February to the entire March, it remained undefeated, and once again opened the gap with Chelsea, adding a 1 point advantage, Chelsea also 4 wins and 1 loss maintain a good momentum, but feel helpless for the super stable Millwall.


    But Aldridge''s mood became a little bit worse, even irritable.


    Ronaldinho''s state began to decline, and he became more and more tired on the court. Ronaldinho who could not persist in continuous combat made Audridge realize that Ronaldinho''s decline has become an inevitable reality.


    Millwall did not do well in the summer of the new season, but the team sacrificed the league at the beginning of the season to make up for this. At the same time, the substitute players played a huge role in the rotation, and only Ronaldinho was the main player. Out of the continuous combat capability decline, the lack of endurance, and the lack of stamina, such obvious problems are obviously Ronaldinho''s personal problems.


    Aldrich did not want to force Ronaldinho, just give him more time to rest. In the past, his density was close to one game per week, but now it is adjusted to an average of 10 days. Aldrich cannot really "tolerate" witnessing Ronaldinho is more and more "walking time" on the court.


    This may be the case that once the sea was difficult, seeing Ronaldinho who is used to controlling the game omnipotently, and seeing him begin to show a mediocre side, no one can stand it, but they can''t bear the blame.


    So Aldridge was honest with him.


    If you play, I need you to go all out!


    Your physical condition is not ideal, we will not talk about this issue!


    I will give you more rest time, either do not play, or take out the best state and attitude!


    In a contrasting environment, Ronaldinho saw the energy of his teammates and the endurance on the court, but he began to decline. He also had troubles and frustrations. Aldridge had a long conversation with him For more than 2 hours, calmly and objectively analyze the reason for this phenomenon, that is, the negative impact of Ronaldinho¡¯s off-site night life since he was 18 years old. Even if he is restraining and converging, he has a hard time returning. Today, the average player should reach the peak. At that time, he began to decline at the peak.


    Aldrich was naturally for the consideration of the team, Ronaldinho accepted Aldrich''s suggestion, although Ronaldinho is still the main force, but his playing time began to cut.


    For almost a month and a half, the league was able to maintain its previous state of strength, and it was inseparable from the excellent performance of C Ronaldo, Kaka and Villa.


    A new round of benign competition within the Millwall team also opened a new curtain.


    Battle of the Kings!


    Who is the one who will carry Millwall in the near future?


    The outside world will compare each other among Villa, Kaka, and Ronaldo, and argue with each other, but at the same time, there are media points out that Millwall is more terrifying!


    In the quarterfinals of the FA Cup on March 24, Millwall directed another slaughter!


    6:0 Sweep Middlesbrough!


    In the game, Messi staged a hat trick, Aguero came off the bench and scored a goal, Moutinho staged an assist in the senior season, Verroso performed well in both offense and defense.


    Millwall''s bench lineup with Larson, Glenshare and Nedved town scenes has also grown at a terrifying pace this season.


    On the front line, Messi and Aguero, the Argentine twins, midfielders Moutinho and Verroso, the Portuguese twins, they are all U20 players, plus Ramos in the first team, in Schneider This month''s substitute appearance when injured and sidelined has a very amazing performance.


    When people focused their attention on C Roca Kabila, Millwall''s younger generation was breaking out of cocoons under Aldrich training!


    In the Champions League round of 16 against Barcelona, ??after entering the quarterfinals, Millwall once again caught a fight with the Spanish team.


    At the end of March, Millwall went to Valencia, Spain, as a guest at the Love Song Stadium, and challenged the yellow submarine Villarreal!


    Villarreal is definitely not a traditional La Liga team or a veteran powerhouse. It only reached the top Spanish stadium for the first time at the end of the last century. After the new century, the score was stable and began to blockbuster. With their best historical ranking in La Liga, third place, they were able to participate in the Champions League this season. For the first time on the Champions League, they broke into the quarterfinals, obviously a true dark horse!


    Millwall who came to the Love Song Stadium has reservations about his strength, at least the outside world views it this way.


    With the increase of age, Henry''s injuries have also begun to increase. Although they are all minor injuries, they will inevitably affect the state of the stadium. In addition, the World Cup is in sight, and for safety reasons, it is natural to be more cautious in use.


    Henry truce due to injury, Ronaldinho was put on the bench by Aldridge without injury or illness. Is the outside speculation whether Aldridge broke out with Ronaldinho, but there are only divisions within Millwall The two of them knew everything.


    At the same time, De Rossi received a yellow card in the previous game and accumulated a yellow card suspension. Schneider had 10 days to come back, Ramos was able to get the starting position. It can be said that Millwall has a main force and can¡¯t play. Lia Real is good news.


    Villarreal''s sudden emergence will allow the coach to get outside attention.


    "Chilean engineer" Pellegrini became famous all over the world when he first arrived in Europe. He led the yellow submarine in the first year and won the joint season. In the second year, this year, although the two-line battle made them unsustainable in the league. The momentum of the season, but the Champions League came to the quarter-finals, enough to make him look good on all sides!


    Aldrich shook hands with Pellegrini on the sidelines. Pellegrini was also full of excitement because he was about to face the strongest BOSS on this stage in the Champions League!


    What if you win?


    Spring blossoms.


    Aldrich''s mentality is on this stage, confronting more different opponents, especially those famous, is a great pleasure of his career.


    "The first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals kicked off at the Love Song Stadium. Villarreal welcomed the defending champion Millwall at home. From today''s starting list and platoon formation, Millwall is slightly better Conservative, it may indeed be afraid of the ditch overturning.


    Villarreal started 4312.


    Goalkeeper: Barbosa.


    Guards: Venta, Rodriguez, Alvarez, Aruabarena.


    Midfielders: Senna, Hosico, Solin, Riquelme.


    Forward: Fran, Jose Mali.


    Millwall started 4231.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Ramos, Nesta, Silva, Ram.


    Double waist: Alonso, Nedved.


    Avant-garde: C Ronaldo, Kaka, Glenshire.


    Forward: Villa. "


    Now the yellow submarine formation can be described as strongman.


    Venta was late, Arua Barrena was the main force for Boca youths to dominate South America at the beginning of the century, and central defender Rodriguez was considered Argentina''s defense defense for the next ten years (the future was destroyed by injuries).


    After Makelele left La Liga, the one with the closest ability and role in the midfield position was Makelele. It was Senna in the yellow submarine formation. He changed his flag and joined the Spanish national team. It was also the bullfighting army that dominated Europe two years later. One of the key figures!


    Horsico is a typical Basque midfielder, Thorin rushes all over the field, and Riquelme, the core of the midfielder, needless to say. In the context that Zidane will retire after the end of the season, Riquelme becomes The only surviving master of the classical front waist.


    Fran left Manchester United and suddenly became aware of La Liga, becoming a phenomenal shooter, able to score incomparable goals in various ways.


    Such a yellow submarine cannot be underestimated.


    Pellegrini still has a lot of ambitions for this game.


    Although he was somewhat humble in posture, after seeing Millwall''s starting lineup, his desire to win was even stronger.


    In his opinion, Aldridge despised him, and Millwall did not take Villarreal in his eyes!


    Look, Millwall didn''t even play a full-time defensive midfielder. Isn''t this contempt?


    Ronaldinho was also placed on the bench to retain strength!


    Pellegrini decided that Aldridge was trying to advance into the semifinals by stepping on Villarreal''s body without any effort!


    Handsome, don¡¯t underestimate me!


    Pellegrini ignited an infinite fighting spirit, and is about to let the lion alone in the world fall at the Love Song Stadium!


    However, 10 minutes after the start of the game, Pellegrini looked at the situation on the court and suddenly split his eyes!


    Millwall had a ball control rate close to 80% within 10 minutes after the opening!


    In front of the La Liga team, who is the best at ball control and game control, is Millwall coming to play?


    Aldridge''s eyes were calm and uncomfortable.


    Without sending Pedretti to replace the missing De Rossi, Aldridge let the winger recover, the purpose is obvious, strengthen the midfielder!


    Neither Rijkaard nor Pellegrini, in Aldridge''s eyes, are almost the same.


    His mentality is the same as ten years ago.

 Chapter 1156： Stable and desperate

    On the stands of the Love Song Stadium, which can only accommodate 30,000 spectators, fans of the home team are very surprised by the trend of today''s game.


    Before the game, it was expected that Millwall¡¯s crazy lion would give Villarreal a stormy attack, but after the game really started, the fans found that Millwall¡¯s edge was far less than they expected. sharp!


    It can even be said that Millwall made the game depressing and boring.


    The heavy soldiers hoarding in the midfield, including the premise of the full-back position to respond, Millwall created a chain of large and small triangles in the midfield.


    Ram, Alonso, Nedved, Ramos, Kaka, Glenshare, Ronaldo.


    These 7 players pass through the area, so that the opponent can''t touch the ball at all!


    But Villarreal can''t let go, but still has to run back and forth to make active defense.


    After shaping the game situation through transmission and control, Millwall ensured his own defensive stability. The opponents withdrew from the offensive players on a large scale. Even if there is an offensive opportunity, it is impossible for Millwall to suddenly suffer a fatal blow.


    But Millwall''s skillful passing control knocked open the opponent''s door in the 21st minute of the first half.


    Ram suddenly hit the frontcourt on the wing and leaned directly to the middle. When Senna focused on Kaka, the small man Ram completed a fatal straight stop two meters away from Kaka!


    Ronaldo cut into the penalty area on the other side. He didn''t have the space to counter offside, but after touching the ball in a small range, he almost made a two-on-one match with Villa almost face to face. Villa gave the ball back to Ronaldo. The old captain Alvarez slowed down and his explosive power dropped. After the center of gravity moved, Ronaldo''s forward insertion made him unable to stop. When he turned around, he could only watch Ronaldo''s small angle push and put the ball into the goal!


    Pellegrini showed bitterness on the sidelines, perhaps the deep meaning of this game, only the party as the coach will understand.


    Millwall did not rob the victory hard in the way they were best at.


    Instead, in a way that should be the best for La Liga teams, it will in turn suppress Villarreal!


    Why is this happening?


    It may not be that Aldridge has viciously humiliated each other against Pellegrini.


    In fact, this kind of kicking itself can greatly improve the probability of winning, not to mention, this is also a very effective way to suppress Villarreal.


    The core of the yellow submarine is Riquelme.


    For him, Aldridge is no stranger, and he has accumulated enough experience in dealing with players like him.


    Millwall''s compression of midfield space is actually aimed at Riquelme.


    In Villarreal¡¯s tactical system, Riquelme¡¯s ball control is very important. This classical master can give the team breathing space through the ball control, which can allow the team to have With enough time to run the position, spread out the various points of the offense, plus he still has a pass that often flashes, his threat is not low, but to say where it is high, it is not obvious.


    Since the classical front waist will disappear, it means that there is increasingly no living space in the contemporary era. It is not just that the new generation of players does not have such talent or talent. It is conceivable that when the new generation of players receive training, there will be few coaches who will let They went to learn that Riquelme played like this.


    The pace is too slow!


    There is no advantage in speed. In the increasingly fierce confrontation rhythm, most coaches also need a midfielder to contribute to defense!


    Since Riquelme will not be used as a template to train a new generation of players, there is no second Riquelme to appear, or even if it appears, everyone will be ignored in the future, and everything seems logical.


    Corresponding to this game, Millwall is stronger, but Millwall''s big-name players can put down a posture to defend desperately. When Riquelme touches the ball, there are at least two players who sandwich him before and after, Kaka There will always be harassment behind him for the first time, and what is Riquelme doing when Millwall passes in the midfield? Symbolically running two steps, the goal passed the ball, he slowed down, seems to be waiting for his teammates to steal the ball successfully, and then he dedicated himself to organize the attack.


    Villarreal tried to equalize the score in the first half, and in the final period the whole army pressed on, but Millwall intercepted their pass by Nedved in the midfield and backcourt, and then the ball Hand it to Glenshire on the left.


    The most mature part of Millwall is that players know when to pass the ball and when to play their personal ability on the court!


    Aldrich kneaded the team during this period, almost reached the height of reaching its peak.


    Before Villarreal had a solid defense, four guards, three backs, and breakthrough space almost did not exist.


    After they pushed forward, the breakthrough space appeared, and Glennshire no longer passed the ball in a satisfactory manner, but directly used the acceleration to explode the Venta on the side, after breaking through the bottom, turned into the inside line, one foot high The half-height pass of the quality was sent, and Villa scored a header in the middle to break the goal!


    At the end of the first half of the game 45 minutes, Millwall led the home team with 2:0 at the Love Song Stadium and stepped into the threshold of the Champions League semifinals with one foot.


    In the second half, Pellegrini simply sat on the coach''s seat.


    Faceless, he seemed helpless to the situation, completely beaten by his opponent.


    The bitterness in his heart may even be understood by the audience.


    Players are not as strong as Millwall, and the overall technical and tactical strength of the game is not as good as the opponent. They are being beaten at home and are reasonable.


    Millwall changed his offensive approach 70 minutes into the second half and began to use high altitude bombing!


    This is very uncomfortable in Villarreal, they seem to be quite afraid of guarding against British blitz.


    Nedved, Cristiano Ronaldo, Villa, and Millwall used the side lanes of Glencharr, Ram, and Ramos to spur on the sidelines to create chaos in the opponent''s penalty area. Kaka sought a second attack on the periphery. The chance was finally blocked by Cristiano Ronaldo''s header in the 78th minute, and Nedvide followed up with a supplementary shot to expand the score to 3:0.


    At the end of the game, fans of the yellow submarine at Love Song Stadium departed.


    Millwall almost locked in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, continuing their strong performance in the Champions League.


    A week later, Aldridge sent some substitutes at home to take the yellow submarine with a score of 1:0 at the Lion King Stadium. The Champions League quarter-final double defeat Villarreal advanced to the Champions League semi-finals!


    After the UEFA Champions League semi-finals are released, All England cheers!


    Premier League prosperity.


    Three of the top four places come from the Premier League!


    Millwall, Chelsea, Arsenal, AC Milan.


    Seeing this result, Aldridge suddenly felt that something was awkward.


    Last season, Millwall blocked Chelsea, but this season Millwall helped Chelsea to defeat Barcelona in the quarterfinals. Chelsea''s promotion road is very smooth, but I don''t know if I can pass AC Milan in the semifinals.


    As for Millwall, they will stage a Champions League London civil war with Arsenal!


    Wenger really collapsed, and finally made a breakthrough in the Champions League, and it is absolutely a situation that everyone can''t think of!


    This season Arsenal''s situation in the league is in jeopardy.


    The formerly stable UEFA Champions League seat, this season after Liverpool returned to the Premier League first group, Arsenal''s Champions League quota looks to be taken away by Liverpool!


    In the standings, Arsenal have surpassed 10 points behind Liverpool in fourth place!


    When the league can be said to enter the final stage, Arsenal will put all their energy in the Champions League.


    What if it wins?


    Can''t they continue to participate in the Champions League next season as a defending champion?


    But the three opponents of the semifinals, who had no idea who Arsenal touched, but met a Millwall that made them desperate, Wenger really wanted to cry without tears.


    Everyone also understands that it is fair to say that the two rounds of playing Millwall came at each other''s home court.


    But Wenger would rather come to a fixed position in the middle. In that case, there will be more accidental factors and the game will become more uncontrollable. Now? Playing one game at a time, at least 180 minutes, Millwall''s odds are actually higher!


    Before Millwall and Arsenal meet in the Champions League, the two teams will play one more game in the league!


    On the eve of the Champions League semi-finals, Millwall ushered in the challenge of Arsenal at the Lion King Stadium.


    Arsenal''s lineup has attracted ridicule on Fleet Street.


    They sent a full replacement!


    Wenger''s wishful thinking is to consume Millwall as much as possible!


    But this is already the 35th round of the league. Millwall led Chelsea to 9 points. Although Chelsea won this round, if Millwall could beat Arsenal, it almost declared the success of three rounds of defending in advance, even if they lost at home. Can lead Chelsea 6 points, defending is only a matter of time.


    And Arsenal?


    They first lost their UEFA Champions League qualification in April.


    Manchester United and Liverpool are quite strong in the second half. Both teams now have more than 70 points. At the end of the season, they are likely to break the 80-point mark. This pair of old enemies can only be third or third in the Premier League. Four, Chelsea are still expected to break the 90-point mark, but still have to watch Millwall defend the league successfully!


    Whether the Premier League is the world''s first league boasted on Fleet Street, this is not a good conclusion, but the Premier League is definitely the most brutal competition in Europe, so that the giants will despair!


    In the 35th round of the Premier League, Aldridge also sent a full substitute at home, and even transferred Aguero from the youth team to start!


    Aldrich is like training with Wenger in this round of the league very tacitly, walks through the stage, retains his strength, and prepares for the semifinals of the Champions League.


    Wenger was very helpless on the sidelines. Aldridge''s cunning, or steady, made him crazy.


    Why can''t you be really crazy?


    Send all the main forces at home, and they are about to slaughter the gunmen again!


    Arsenal did a good job of coming here to withstand Millwall''s indiscriminate bombardment. As a result, Millwall joined a group of doll soldiers, which was not comparable to Arsenal''s young lineup. The two teams of doll soldiers fought fiercely on the field. There were also players sent off with red cards, but after 90 minutes, they shook hands and ended.


    Millwall was chased by Chelsea for 2 points, but was still leading by 7 points, and there are three rounds in the Premier League.

 Chapter 1157： Arrogant

    The outside world does not know what kind of changes are happening inside Millwall. Focusing on Ronaldinho''s attention, most of them speculate that Ronaldinho has injuries. When Millwall is in the final stage of the season, Ronaldinho''s playing time Instead, it dropped a lot.


    In order to prepare for the game with Arsenal, Ronaldinho missed two league games, truce for more than ten days.

 ~： Before the first round came, Ronaldinho himself was fully prepared.

    Such a change will have a chain reaction. Although it is not public in the locker room, teammates will also have doubts about Ronaldinho''s absence from the bench by Aldridge. Although Millwall only needs to play on the court Without losing the ball, without experiencing Waterloo, the players themselves will not care about the details of many teammates.


    In order to avoid the doubtful eyes of his teammates, Ronaldinho will even put his good teammates into question, he will work hard to make the greatest contribution to the team on the court.


    In this UEFA Champions League semi-final, Millwall''s main lineup is complete, and Aldridge sent all the elite at home to wait for the challenge of the gunner Arsenal.


    At the Lion King Stadium, the fans in the stands waved their flags. They did not worry that Arsenal would cause difficulties for Millwall. Instead of turning a blind eye to Arsenal¡¯s stable performance in the European War, they blindly trusted Aldridge!


    Under the leadership of this young coach, Millwall''s strength has improved this season. Even everyone agrees that Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo and Villa have begun to enter their peak season!


    Amid all the cheers, Aldridge greeted Wenger on the sidelines. The two did not shake hands before the game, but Aldridge felt unnecessary.


    Three days ago, I just met in the league and met on the same course. Everyone is a neighbor. With Arsenal being homesicked by Millwall at home in the first half of the season, Wenger is now somewhat avoiding the sign of Aldridge. It is estimated to be depressed!


    Arsenal have unexpectedly reached the semifinals in the Champions League this season, stemming from their solid defense. Wenger''s pragmatism in the Champions League has begun to have a relative contrast effect with his style in the Premier League. Arsenal, who have conceded the goal, now do show their hope for a miracle.


    It is the consensus of UEFA to win games offense and win championships on defense.


    In the end, for the championship, we still have to fight defense.


    The elite Millwall made Arsenal, who had 0 goals conceded in 8 games, fail to score a shot in the first half. Arsenal tried to keep the city goal intact. Despite the constant danger in the penalty area, it still passed through in a panic. First half.


    Aldridge was full of confidence in the fight with Wenger, even if 45 minutes passed, it was still 0:0, but at least Arsenal did nothing in the offense, they made up for the defensive strength at the expense of the offense.


    Of course, if they were given a chance to fight a fatal counterattack, Millwall might kill him.


    But Arsenal not only sacrificed the offense, but also blocked Millwall from scoring at the expense of more physical energy!


    In the 70th minute of the second half, Millwall finally broke the deadlock. Ronaldinho shot a cold arrow 35 yards from the goal and caught Lehman by surprise, but Lehman still struggled to save the ball, but there was confusion in the restricted area. Ronaldinho didn''t play cards according to common sense, and suddenly a long shot made everyone at Arsenal unexpected, but Millwall''s players were mentally prepared!


    Henry and Toure failed to control the ball in the fight. The popped ball was followed by Kaka and another unreasonable shot was taken. Lehman was unable to return the ball to the sky!


    The Lion King Stadium shouted with cheers and Millwall broke the deadlock!


    "The Arsenal UEFA Champions League has not conceded a record for 8 consecutive games! They really tried their best to defend this game. Hleb, Fabregas, Gilberto Silva, Yongberg, Pire, they all took the initiative. Before withdrawing the penalty area to resist Millwall''s infiltration attack, perhaps the ball was lost to Arsenal feel bad, but we must admit that this is also a strong place for Millwall, conventional routines can not beat the opponent''s iron barrel array, they will To deliberately create chaos in the opponent''s tight defense system, Ronaldinho encountered intensive defense in the danger zone and played flat, but it was so far away from the goal that God came to the ground to throw Arsenal''s back line into chaos. In the second After the second offensive opportunity came out, Kaka was successful in the crowd and Millwall led 1:0 at home, and the balanced psychological state of the game will be broken!"


    After the goal appeared, Aldridge asked the team players to recover, he wanted to see Arsenal''s next gesture.


    His eyes turned to Wenger.


    After many years of fighting, Wenger is not as good as his decisive command and dispatch, but Arsenal is now hanging on the line, the League Cup is gone, the FA Cup is gone, the league is not only impossible to compete for the championship, and even the top four can''t be guaranteed!


    Only one road left for the Champions League.


    Alsena Wenger, are you still fighting?


    Aldrich decisively let the team retreat and open up space to Arsenal, just want to lead the snake out of the hole.


    Wenger can certainly see it.


    But he was afraid that if Arsenal attacked, he might be beaten by Millwall and then conceded a goal!


    Wenger gritted his teeth without making adjustments.


    Arsenal, as always, fought back.


    Seeing Arsenal''s unchanged, Aldridge smiled lightly.


    Attacking is accelerating death, not attacking is equivalent to the struggle of a trapped beast, killing death.


    If Arsenal think that the result of losing only 0:1 on the road is not too bad, if Aldridge accepts this result if he pushes the boat, then he is not Aldridge.


    Three minutes later, Aldridge replaced the scoring heroes Kaka and Henry, and sent Larsson and Nedved.


    Instead, change the formation, playing asymmetric 442.


    Larsson and Ronaldo double forwards, plus Nedved ambush behind him.


    Millwall changed the previous ground pass cut style, and suddenly changed to hold high and hit high, using a side pass to bomb Arsenal''s penalty area!


    Arsenal suddenly faced with Millwall''s change of style, not very adapted.


    This change is too dramatic!


    It''s like an elegant swordsman suddenly turned into a shameless man!


    In the 87th minute, Ronaldinho pulled the ball straight down the middle of the road and pulled it into the bottom of the road. Ram came up and passed the bottom. C Ronaldo jumped the header and ferryed. Larsen circumvented Campbell jumped in front and flicked his head to attack the goal, completing the air relay with Ronaldo!


    When the ball flew into the goal from the right side of Lehman, Wenger closed his eyes in pain on the sidelines!


    In terms of on-the-spot adjustments, he lost again!


    "2:0! Millwall veteran Larson made a contribution! Helped Millwall get a golden goal, 1:0 and 2:0. For Millwall, the advantages are very different, for Assen The impact of Na''s mentality will also be different! Imagine if Arsenal are only one goal behind, then returning to Highbury, they will naturally be able to calmly deal with the game, but if the gap is two goals, in the face of European overlord Millwall How do they calm down? The choice will be a double-edged sword at that time, it is difficult to choose!"


    At the end of the game, Wenger still did not shake hands with Aldridge and turned his head directly into the player channel.


    Aldridge didn''t care too, he walked slowly into the court to praise his disciples, the fans in the stands cheered deafeningly.


    Here, there is no words to describe how much the fans love him.


    Millwall has born a lot of idol-level stars in the past decade, and now there are many new generation of football idols. However, in the investigation of Millwall fans, the most popular Millwall people are Aldridge.


    This young marshal who has begun to show his mature image with a touch of beard is more popular among fans, as if it has faded the symbol of the young and immature, and has an eternal and strong pulsating heart. The strong is like a king. With the control of his hand, he controls the mad lion of the modern football super team to open up the territory step by step.


    Aldridge spoke after the game.


    In response to Arsenal''s attempt to use extreme defense to take away a result acceptable to them at Lion King Stadium, Aldridge made a bitter mocking.


    "The audience who have watched the 90-minute game must understand what I will say next: Millwall is more worthy of going to France to participate in this season''s Champions League final. Arsenal''s performance is not worthy of advancing to the finals. They did not show a victory. Craving, without courage and willpower, even if Millwall lost today and went to Highbury, we will certainly be able to make a comeback, because our desire for victory and our persistence in winning are already a share Very strong and tenacious belief! We may perform badly for a while, but we will quickly adjust and continue to adhere to our traditions, so Arsenal was wrong from the beginning, they thought Millwall would be in both games. Did it perform badly? When Barcelona lost to us 1:4 in the first game, there was still media saying that Barcelona had the hope of going back to Camp Nou because Barcelona will make unremitting efforts to score goals, but what about Arsenal? Are Arsenal fans looking forward to it? Make a comeback at Highbury?"


    It sounds like Aldridge is falling, but in fact, he is a psychological battle!


    Wenger will certainly be able to hear Audridge''s off-string sound, but these remarks are not just for Wenger, but also include Arsenal players.


    What happened at the Lion King Stadium has proved that the deadlock has no effect. In the 90 minutes of the second round, will the Arsenal players be unified?


    Slightly scattered, then the game will be more beneficial to Millwall.

 ~： After the first round, Millwalls FA Cup journey also came to the semifinals.

    This season, the journey of the FA Cup, Millwall signed a good luck, has not encountered traditional strong teams, even in the semi-finals, they can still sit on the hill to watch the tigers!


    Chelsea and Liverpool compete for a final ticket.


    Millwall competed with their rival West Ham United for another final ticket.

 Chapter 1158： Bloody

    The FA Cup semi-final took place at the Neutral Stadium. Millwall and West Ham United¡¯s East London Derby match was placed at Newcastle United¡¯s home St. James Park Stadium. This way, it can slightly reduce the fans of the two teams. The hot conflict that might be triggered, after all, left the site of East London.


    Alan Paddu led West Ham United''s performance this season is exceptionally amazing. The newly promoted team ranked in the middle and the FA Cup reached the semi-finals, making Padu completely seated the position of the Premier League coach. Of course, the gap from the top coach is still clear. Huge.


    If you want to become a top coach, you must first have a championship, or really lead a weak team to play against the sky.


    Coming to St. James Park Stadium, although Aldridge sent a bench lineup, he deducted the training task from the lineup. For young players'' playing time at the end of the season, he has other arrangements: If there are no accidents in the league, they will soon Winning the championship in advance, the remaining games can give young players to exercise.


    Millwall''s record was steady and outstanding after he stepped into 2006, but in recent days, the outside world has found that Audridge is always serious, as if hiding his mind.


    His posture will inevitably make the media think of Ronaldinho''s playing time reduced, and the two mentors and apprentices who are sitting on the same foot have cracked.


    Is such a thing rare in football?


    No, in the Premier League alone, wouldn''t the famous "father and son break up" have Beckham and Ferguson''s lessons?


    Of course, Ronaldinho''s state began to decline, which would make Aldridge depressed, but the reason he was not happy was another thing.


    After suffering from Alzheimer''s disease, Puskas finally couldn''t beat the disease, and was sent to the intensive care unit some time ago. Although he passed the danger, the deadline has already entered the countdown. How long will it be?


    One year, half a year? Or three months? Or tomorrow?


    Aldrich did not know that it was such worries that made him unhappy, especially because he always liked Lenovo, Arthur and Amelia also had different health risks, and the age of the old couple was not small. Nearly sixty years old.


    For Puskas''s feelings, he has never been able to talk about how profound the evangelism is, but Aldrich understands that if he is not called by Puskas in Budapest in his life, then he may now, Just another utilitarian coach of football, although he has not become a pure romanticist, it can make him more "smooth", "rich" and "variable". He has become the only Aldridge Ho in football Yeah.


    Puskas''s point gave Aldrich the impact of the initiation. Whether other people have had such an experience, Aldrich does not know, but for him, today''s success and achievements are the moment of the year. The huge impact of "Epiphany" will not change at that moment, and the impact on life at that moment will be transformative.


    The only thing that makes Aldridge gratified is that, at least, the rewards he made will allow Puskas to enjoy his old age without the sadness of the original history.


    St James Park Stadium.


    The ambitious Alan Padu roared to West Ham players like a beast on the sidelines!


    To traverse the Millwall level, West Ham must be more "cruel" and "barbaric"!


    Today is a good opportunity.


    Millwall is going to be distracted by the European War. He has just finished the Champions League, and today are all substitutes.


    Even though this bench lineup is unmatched by West Ham, Larson, Villa, Grenchar, Ramall, Nedved, Pedretti, Baines, Balzali, Ni Seoul, Ramos, and Bout are just this lineup. In the Premier League, the overall strength of the top four is very likely to reach the goal. If the coach is Aldridge, the outside world may further raise the expectations of this team. .


    Witnessing the rough play of West Ham United on the sidelines, wanting to punch his teacher in a mess, Aldridge loosened his tie, and his face was roaring more excitedly than Padu at the disciples!


    After being roared by Aldridge, Millwall players were spared to play the game.


    This is a **** contest, the scene is wide open, the West Ham United fights, Millwall plays a quick ground pass, and when it comes to fighting melee, no one will take a step back, about 34 Nedwigs. De still plays the role of taking the lead on the field, and he is completely dominant in the physical confrontation with the opponent midfielder!


    Padu tried to use a "quite unreasonable" way to defeat today''s Millwall, Aldridge just wanted to say to him: You are still tender!


    Padu probably didn¡¯t understand that when East London¡¯s derby was hot ten years ago, it was a melee fight. Neil, Nedved, Larson are not new to this kind of game. Millwall has three lines. Some people take the lead to lead the team forward, but West Ham United may not be able to adapt better.


    When the confrontation atmosphere continues to heat up, it is bound to make the players'' minds more and more calm.


    Before the end of the first half, Glenshire broke into the penalty area and was stumbled to the ground by West Ham United defender. The referee decisively penalized the penalty, but the unsteady West Ham United defender made a poor speech to the referee, making The penalty that was originally a yellow card turned into two yellows and one red!


    Padu slapped on the sidelines, shook his head slightly in shock, murmured in his mouth, and I didn¡¯t know what to say. Perhaps he could only guess this moment when he criticized the referee for "England bully Millwall" after the game. What are you talking about?


    Villa took a penalty kick and Millwall returned to the locker room with a 1-0 lead in the first half.


    Aldridge''s change of expression on the sidelines today is like a villain in a dark film, with a bit of cruelty and bloodthirsty wildness.


    In fact, he was somewhat happy that West Ham would dare to play like this.


    Millwall has to go through all sorts of hard work and cannot be overly comfortable. Then it is necessary to experience opponents with different characteristics. The more abundant the opponent''s characteristics, the more necessary to sharpen or keep Millwall vigilant.


    In other words, if their opponents encounter Millwall and surrender!


    Well, Millwall¡¯s glory can only be maintained for another year at best. In this year, it will be softened and corroded. The team¡¯s mental state and competitive state will gradually decline under the influence of factors that are not visible to the naked eye. In 2010, the opponents renewed their spirits to fight hard with Millwall. At that time, Millwall might be in a hurry to collapse.


    Therefore, Aldridge will be tired of Chelsea who has always been utilitarian. Fortunately, the Premier League is full of tough bones that dare to fight against the giants. The European stadium is full of characteristic opponents, such as Barcelona and AC Milan.


    In the second half, West Ham United, who played one less, was still fighting to advance to the finals despite their passiveness. Their fouls were getting bigger and bigger. Probably the referee was awarded a penalty by Millwall and sent off. With the opponent alone, there was a little "connivance" to Westham United''s foul.


    Even so, Millwall scored two goals within 20 minutes of the second half!


    Villa staged a hat trick!


    Crazy lion fans shouted unscrupulously in the stands of the St. James Park Stadium stadium: "Crush the hammer gang! Crush the hammer gang!"


    In the 77th minute of the game, Millwall quickly pushed the attack into the penalty area of ??West Ham United in a fast break. Villa saw a chance to stage a senior fourth. Larsen passed the ball to him unselfishly. The green leaves of Gandang made Villa more dazzling.


    But when Villa shot, someone shoveled him to the ground.


    Villa, who fell in the penalty area, reached out and patted the turf with pain.


    He was by no means a scam. Millwall was coached by Aldridge. Although technical players avoiding the opponent¡¯s fierce fouls, there will be evasive actions that are interpreted as ¡°fake¡±, but if the player really falls to the ground, it will not Pretend to hurt!


    In this regard, when he cultivated young players, Aldridge let them use Nedved as a model, pretending to be injured and gaining sympathy, but not necessarily trying all kinds of spirits. For a long time, they may be cocooned and lead to obvious foul violations by their opponents. For himself, the referee hesitated and suspected that you were being scammed!


    Seeing Villa fall in the penalty area, Aldridge''s head buzzed!


    He shouted back to the team doctors for the first time, let them quickly enter the field, then he ran angrily in front of the fourth official, fingered the head referee in the field and scolded: "His law enforcement today is terrible! It is an amateur performance. !Blindly ignore the fouls of West Ham United in the second half! Go to your mother¡¯s referee! My player is injured now, you **** is not worthy of an important law enforcement game! Shit! Take off your work clothes and go home!"


    The fourth official also has authority. He was so scorned by Aldridge in his face that he couldn¡¯t hold his face. When he came to try to plead for his disciples, Padu also heard Aldridge¡¯s words, so it¡¯s not difficult to understand why he would say Mill Wall is an "English bully"!


    Because it is not over yet.


    The fourth official said to Aldridge with a cold face: "I will record every sentence you say, and the referee will write it all in the game report!"


    "Yes! You must write in the fuck! It''s better to report to the referee committee in person, and then go to the FA to find someone to complain! Make it clear that Millwall coach Audrey Hall is in front of you, insulting Your level is low, **** is not as good!"


    Aldrich turned away in rage. The reason why he was so angry was not only that Villa was injured but also not serious, but also because if Villa really needed a long time to heal, he would miss more than a month. World Cup!


    How many four years have players played in the World Cup once every four years?


    The age is too young, the foothold is not stable, can not go.


    If you are too old, you may be abandoned.


    The chance to really belong to the players, the World Cup may be 1-3 times, 3 times are too much, as for players who participated in 4 or even 5 times, it is really rare compared to the huge player base.

 Chapter 1159： The riots are on again

    "Fuck it!"


    "Yes! Damn it!"


    In the stands, Millwall fans were extremely angry and fierce about Westham United''s fierce fouls, and they were violent. They should retaliate directly in the stands!


    The targets of revenge are naturally fans of West Ham United!


    Because at this moment, West Ham fans in the stands on the other side are making a boo of mocking Villa¡¯s fall, and some fans who are gloating about it, they know that West Ham¡¯s loss is a final, but If the opponent is injured by the opponent''s goal, it will be a small counterattack.


    This kind of shameless and proud behavior is not necessarily unique to West Ham fans. If the position is reversed, most Millwall fans will have such a reaction.


    After all, East London is the cradle of football hooligans. The inferior roots buried deep in the bones are hard to be changed.


    At this time in the stands, when the fans were about to start trouble, at the end of the season, Brady quickly came to the scene to support the crazy lion Brady quickly united with the fan organization leaders and called on the fans to calm down.


    "Brady, your fuckin''s shut up! Calm, calm, calm fart! Did you see David? He scored three goals for us on the court, but now he is going to be helped by the team doctor and he is injured. Alright! We must get justice for him! How about you? Let us calm down, just stare here and stand idly by!?"


    It''s hard to suppress emotions.


    Brady yelled at the fans who questioned him: "Are you fools? Now if we take the initiative to rush to provoke the Hammer Gang, it is very likely that we will lose David''s efforts! We may be fined for trouble on the court and give the hammer a ticket for the finals! What will we be then? We are **** sinners!"


    Most fans are still convinced by Brady, especially in the era of Millwall''s rise in Europe, Brady''s prestige among the fans is very high, the "lion roar" he led by the first-hand interpretation of the team''s first The role of twelve people, even now the new fan organization "Crazy Lion Guards", there is no shortage of worship of Brady, this is a respect in the field of fans, Brady made many positive and positive contributions.


    But there are still people who are not reconciled and unconvinced.


    "In the final analysis, we can only do nothing here, the same kind!"


    Brady took off his jersey, revealing his muscular upper body muscles after years of intense exercise, and yelled: "Who said the boobies? Shit, after the game, he worked with the hammer in Newcastle! For the whole life, the whole family is the same!"


    At this time, the previous opponents not only closed their mouths, but also looked at Brady with enthusiasm!


    When Brady turned around and turned his eyes back on the court, Fred gently pulled his arm around him and asked in a low voice, "Really?"


    Brady nodded fiercely: "Fuck! Damn, the Hammer Gang is very arrogant this season. Let them know who is their father today!"


    It''s not difficult to understand the reason why West Ham United''s arrogance has soared this season. The team''s record is much better, and the fans naturally have a hardened waist, which is like the two times in the past decade, the Lions have stepped on the British League!


    Even though East London Derby Millwall twice killed West Ham United this season, West Ham United started to laugh at Millwall fans losing their "bloodiness", unlike men, like mother-in-law!


    It¡¯s unbearable. Among Milwall¡¯s local fans, a considerable number of fans can¡¯t hold back this anger. It¡¯s not okay not to fight with the other party. Not a man!


    Fred listened and took off his jersey, and greeted friends around him to follow suit. After the game was over, they would definitely not wear a Millwall jersey to go to the rack. If necessary, they might be blindfolded for half. Open your face, avoid being photographed, really caught, and the lightest one must be judged as a football hooligan and banned for life! Er, that is, you can''t step into the court to watch the game for life.


    Villa died because of injury. Although the team doctor said the injury was not too serious, he could be cured within a month.


    But Villa was very frustrated.


    He is not sure whether he can still participate in the World Cup, but also for the indisputable loss of the game behind the team, Millwall will definitely be able to participate in the FA Cup final, the Champions League final? It was also a foot that crossed the threshold.


    Aldridge said only one sentence when he comforted him.


    "Relax, I will call the Spanish national team coach Aragones to let him know that taking you to Germany will not be a wrong decision."


    Aldridge actually had no idea at the end of this sentence.


    Because his relationship with Aragones is not good.


    The reason is that Aragones had racial discrimination against Henry. After the incident, Audridge issued a strong condemnation on the media platform. At that time, Aragones belonged to thousands of people, and naturally would not fight back against Adrich. The escalation of the incident further expands the negative impact, but Aldridge fears that things that happened a year ago will leave the veteran in the heart.


    This matter can only be taken one step at a time. If it is not possible, pressure will be exerted through the media.


    The referee did not neglect the obvious foul action of Villa in Westham United''s penalty area because Aldridge insulted the fourth official on the sidelines. He still awarded a penalty, the second.


    However, this time it was only a yellow card for West Ham United foul players, and the opponent shoveling behind was obviously a red card action.


    Larson took the penalty and successfully deceived the opponent''s goalkeeper into the goal.


    4:0.


    After scoring, Aldridge replaced De Rossi with a warm-up.


    De Rossi was like a ruthless beast standing on the sidelines. After waiting for the referee to signal, he ran into the stadium. West Ham United kicked off. De Rossi''s starting position was at the center line. As soon as the opponent kicked off, he immediately threw Go up and do not hesitate to use a tackle to send the opponent''s side player with the ball to the sideline!


    The referee whistled to signal De Rossi''s foul and walked over to show him a yellow card!


    De Rossi raised his head and raised his head. Two West Ham players rushed up to siege him. De Rossi stared at each other sharply, as if doing a good fight with the other side!


    The head referee immediately blocked in the middle to avoid further runaway.


    The wing player at West Ham was also injured.


    De Rossi only walked towards his lower back now. He didn''t care how the outside world judged his behavior, either reckless or barbarous.


    As the captain of Millwall, he just can''t tolerate his opponent''s infringement of his teammates, and he has to fight back!


    Those who dare to bully our mad lions must do a good job of paying the price!


    His movement attracted fans of the crazy lions in the stands to applaud for a while, and his momentum surged instantly!


    Padu was desperately angry on the sidelines, and he shouted to Aldridge with an angry smile: "Sir Hall, is this your style? While accusing others, he is committing atrocities himself!"


    Obviously, Padu does not believe that Aldridge is not clear about what will happen when Drossi is replaced!


    Aldrich turned his head and stared at Padu with disdainful eyes, revealing a natural expression, without saying a word.


    When I wanted to reason, no one listened.


    When I started to be unreasonable, others wanted to reason with me again, and I didn''t want to listen!


    The game finally ended with the referee frequently showing yellow cards to control the game.


    The referee team seemed to have experienced an arduous battle, the game ended, relieved.


    In the referee''s match report, there was no remark that Audridge insulted the referee on the sidelines. Even if Padu mentioned this after the match, the referee on duty also avoided it because he didn''t hear it.


    Padu slammed Millwall after the game was taken care of by the referee, and claimed that Millwall is a tumor in England, a bully!


    In response to Padu''s remarks, Aldridge said: "Did he say anything? I didn''t hear it, vaguely, I only heard someone crying, maybe it was my illusion."


    Millwall, who successfully won the FA Cup final ticket, paid the price of Villa''s absence in the final stage of the season, which also made Audridge have to be more cautious in the formation of the platoon in the subsequent game. After all, Henry was in the center position. There is no substitute.


    What Oddridge did not expect was that when the Millwall team left Newcastle in a bus, Millwall fans formed a team outside the St James Park stadium, shirtless, and used temporary from Newcastle United. The scarf bought from the fan souvenir shop covered half of his face and suddenly attacked scattered West Ham fans outside the stadium.


    West Ham fans are not vegetarian. Although they were at a disadvantage from the beginning of the riots, they quickly gathered together. The two team fans broke out in the streets of Newcastle!


    Two streets were chaotic after the event, and local gangsters in Newcastle joined the chaos.


    Millwall and West Ham fans fought, and the local gangsters in Newcastle were muddy in the water around the incident, smashing shops to commit theft, and then planted the account on Millwall and West Ham. !


    This incident caused the British to shake, which is the largest football hooligan incident in English football in recent years!


    But when the police dispatched to arrest the football hooligans for liquidation, they found out that most of them were identified as fans of West Ham United, and very few Millwall fans were arrested!


    Even if the fans of West Ham United were unlucky, not to mention the sudden attack, the Millwall fans ran away after seeing the bad situation, and made a pre-plan. They fled across the alley when they fled, and they were shirtless, put on a A coat, and then the scarf was removed and discarded. The police did not dare to catch people easily when they went out. This is how most Millwall fans escaped the French Open.


    This incident has attracted the attention of the British society since the news was broadcast live on the day, and the impact is extremely bad. The FA also angered and severely punished Millwall and West Ham United Clubs!

 Chapter 1160： One willing to fight, one willing to suffer

    In the middle of the night, Aldridge''s house.


    He had just returned to his home in London and was sitting in the living room at the moment listening to Carter talking about the riots in Newcastle.


    Yiwen came down from the upstairs and came to the back of the sofa, his hands pressed gently on Aldridge''s shoulders.


    She knew that after Puskas entered the intensive care unit, Aldridge was in a bad mood, and she was also a little sad, but she still had to make a smile in front of the children. Derich was in a worse mood.


    Aldridge seemed to recover from the confused state, raised his head and asked softly, "The children are asleep?"


    Yi Wen whispered softly.


    Aldridge turned his head to look at Carter again and said lightly: "It is our fans who take the initiative to pick things up?"


    Carter nodded helplessly, saying: "Although most of the arrested fans were West Ham fans, it was indeed our fans who provoked the disaster, and there are a few more famous characters, such as ours. Friends, Brady, oh, unfortunately, among the very few Millwall fans who were arrested, there was also one of our friends, Sol."


    Aldridge froze.


    But he froze for two seconds, then burst out laughing, stroked his forehead, and laughed loudly.


    "Hahaha, Sol, he might be blessed, and he didn¡¯t run fast enough, hahaha, he¡¯s going to be out of luck now, and he won¡¯t be able to escape from the ban for life. As a photojournalist, he can¡¯t gather materials at close range. It''s worse than killing him!"


    Carter was stunned. Wasn''t it ironic that Aldridge was laughing now?


    It doesn''t look like it, it looks very hearty.


    Yiwen was a little worried, whether Odric was under too much pressure recently.


    "How can you still laugh? What now?"


    Carter asked puzzled.


    Aldridge stopped his laughter and immediately sighed helplessly, smiling: "What else can I do? Official business chanting. The arrested fans are the police, what kind of fines will the FA have to issue, we don¡¯t Appeal, just accept it all. Oh, if one day Millwall fans don¡¯t make trouble, then Millwall club must be out of the local community and become the real Millwall belonging to the world, but, it seems that Not very realistic. After all, London is not Manchester, not Liverpool. There are too many teams in London. Fans face a strong confrontation. The division of fans is also regional. The local fans of Millwall have a centuries-old heritage. It is possible to get rid of the genes passed down from the past. In this way, it is not bad. In the bones, the mad lion should be full of confrontation and struggle temperament, even if it is provocative, it is not bad."


    Things always need to be analyzed concretely.


    Combined with today''s game, there was such a riot after the game. Aldridge was not surprised when he heard the news.


    If he goes back to trace the deep-seated factors, he is more able to accept reality.


    After two pre-East Londonde matches this season, West Ham fans actively provoked Millwall fans, but Millwall fans deliberately avoided them, without causing major riots, and occasionally passers-by alone in a fight or confrontation , That belongs to pediatrics, can be ignored.


    Aldridge is not a psychic beautician. In the past ten years, he has suppressed and regulated the behavior of fans. It is impossible to teach fans to "reinvent themselves" and after being provoked and evaded by West Ham United, West Ham United Fans will naturally ridicule Millwall fans to become weak, which has been suppressed to the extreme, and it will eventually explode. Under the stimulation of a catalyst, the riots today can be said to be accidental, but it has its inevitability.


    The next day, the Fleet turned the streets instead of Millwall 4-0 victory over West Ham to advance to the FA Cup final, is expected to hit the Triple Crown again this season!


    It¡¯s ¡°East London football hooligans scourge Newcastle!¡±


    Almost all media will report such breaking news for the first time, and absolutely no media will miss such big news. Even if it is following the trend, there must be countless readers paying for it.


    West Ham United officials first accused Millwall fans of the despicable behavior!


    However, most of the detained fans were fans of West Ham United, which prevented them from thoroughly clearing the suspicions and throwing all their responsibilities to Millwall.


    After Carter left in the early morning, he communicated privately with the FA.


    In this public relations and dealing with the bureaucracy, Millwall''s public relations work is well done.


    In the early morning, Millwall informed the FA that the club would fully cooperate with the FA without complaints!


    In the end, the FA is also a "three no matter" zone in British society. A private organization with real power lacks effective supervision, and the FA and similar organizations around the world. If the Football Association, UEFA and FIFA are the same, they are all themselves. This organization has forged an unbreakable bastion and refused the infiltration of outsiders, especially the reluctance of the government to intervene in their management!


    Therefore, when the fan riots broke out, in order to prevent the granting of people to handle, let the British government use the problem to try to find the trouble of the FA, the FA must kill the chickens and monkeys, and severely punish the anger!


    Since Millwall is willing to cooperate, it is easier to handle. It is better than Millwall to argue with the FA for a long time. Procrastination can''t cut the mess quickly. The longer the delay, the greater the adverse impact of the incident!


    Compared with the West Ham United''s shirking of responsibility for the first time, Millwall''s official club''s statement made it easier to gain approval from the outside world.


    First, Millwall condemned the behavior of football hooligans, and secondly apologized to Newcastle City from the club''s standpoint, and was willing to count the losses afterwards and make some compensation.


    The outside world knows that Aldridge has always hated football hooligans, and Millwall Club subsequently published a statistical list, blacklisting those fans caught by the police, forbidding them to enter the Lion King Stadium to watch Mill Wall''s game.


    From this point of view, Millwall is "dare to be a dare", but the position is very clear.


    Fans represent a part of the club''s image, which is unbreakable, even if the positions are opposite, in the eyes of outsiders, the black sheep are also part of this club.


    So Millwall will apologize and make compensation, but just say two things casually.


    And Millwall does not appease the behavior of fans, but also consistent with their usual style.


    But in fact, this statement was a time difference between Millwall and a little trick.


    Fans arrested by the police will inevitably be punished with an additional lifetime ban.


    Regardless of whether Millwall prohibits them from entering the Lion King Stadium, they will lose at least the qualification to enter England. As for whether they will be banned when going abroad, it depends on whether the FA will take this "Football rogue list" is issued to other countries. In serious cases, during the competition, these fans may be prevented from entering other countries, because they are labeled as football hooligans, which may bring security risks to the host country.


    The FA''s penalty came down quickly. On the afternoon of the next day, the FA issued the heaviest ticket in history!


    Millwall and West Ham United in the next two Premier League games, such as fighting at home, the stands are closed by half, if playing on the road, the fans of the visiting team are not open!


    Millwall was fined ¡ê500,000 for poor management!


    West Ham United paid a fine of 250,000 pounds for the same reason!


    After the ticket was issued, British society generally applauded, precisely because it was too heavy! Only the civilians who hate football hooligans feel very popular, and the FA also promised to pay 70% of the fines collected to compensate Newcastle¡¯s losses, and the other 30% is used to strengthen the supervision of the development of football hooligans... ¡­


    Looking at ¡ê500,000 alone might not be too heavy.


    But taking into account the Lion King Stadium''s more than 60,000 capacity, splitting half of the ticket revenue, and the operating income of incidental match days, Millwall suffered direct economic losses of more than 1.5 million pounds!


    As Aldridge told Carter, Millwall accepted everything!


    If you do something wrong, you must admit punishment!


    Even if the fans did it, but the impact is too bad, the club can''t stay out of it, this responsibility must be carried on!


    Millwall took the initiative to pay the fine and began to take action to get rid of it. On the contrary, West Ham United started to protest with the FA. It was roughly the same rhetoric that pushed all the responsibilities to Millwall to defend himself. The FA is impatient and does not give West Ham United the chance to appeal. Either, you give money to settle this matter, or, let''s turn our heads and see if the Hammer Gang can be mixed in the future!


    West Ham United is not rich, and their loss may only be around ¡ê7,800,000, but for them, it really hurts!


    The outside world saw that the FA punished Millwall so badly, and Millwall obediently said nothing. It seems that the Football Club has also picked up Millwall by playing.


    On this evening, Chelsea and Liverpool''s FA Cup semi-final played out as scheduled. Chelsea, who wants to distract the Champions League, is not as prepared as Liverpool. Liverpool beat Chelsea 2-1.


    The Blues Chelsea FA Cup is out at the finals!


    Benitez will lead the Red Cup Liverpool and Aldridge''s Millwall led by the Reds who have already secured the qualification for the UEFA Champions League next season.


    Another day, UEFA probably did not know the situation on the side of the Premier League, thinking that Millwall was being suppressed by the FA and learned well, so he jumped out and fell down!


    Half a year before the UEFA presidential election, the internal camp has begun to become clear. As an ally of FIFA President Blatter, Platini will become a powerful candidate for the next UEFA president. His camp Supporters began to bombard Millwall, playing on the subject, and on the grounds of the riots in Newcastle, warned Millwall not to bring the rogue football evil spirits into the Champions League!

 Chapter 1161： Battle of the Dead

    For the factions within the UEFA that have a clear position at this time, the voices of the people who support Platini¡¯s faction clearly bite Millwall and may even suppress the Premier League ball represented by Millwall. The team is one of the campaign guidelines. Oudrich said nothing when he was punished by the FA, but he strongly protested against UEFA and even committed public anger!


    At the time of the penultimate round of the Premier League, at the pre-match press conference, Audridge had nothing to say about the game of visiting Aston Villa, and against the UEFA, another official stood up and threw it against Millwall. Aldridge responded with a strong tone.


    "I don¡¯t deny what happened in Newcastle, but on the matter, the world is moving forward, we can¡¯t indulge in the past history, Millwall officials took out the most sincere apologies, and took action to improve our Insufficient, the FA thinks that we are poorly managed, we admit that, now we are more alert than ever to the occurrence of football hooligans, but at this time someone in the UEFA has warned Millwall not to bring football hooligans into the Champions League, I I think this is an accusation that we cannot accept, because such an accusation is unprecedented! Could it be that the world is black and white in the eyes of UEFA? What happened in Incastle totally denied Millwall? In the past, the Champions League In the game, Millwall only suffered unfair treatment. For example, we once encountered angry treatment in Italy, but in the end, the two parties settled properly. Ha ha, now? UEFA has a pair of Millwall fans. The tone of a football hooligan is defining us. If such remarks can hold our feet, then I also want to define UEFA. During the past bid for the World Cup European Cup, many UEFA officials were accused of having interests in certain bids. Trading, does this mean that UEFA has completely lost its credibility? Can I also open my mouth and warn UEFA, you must maintain an absolute objective and fair position? Do not appear stains in similar football affairs in the future? Haha, fact However, Millwall accepts the supervision of the FA, UEFA, FIFA, and UEFA? Who will supervise them? So they can unscrupulously "crime", and then come in the role of a noble defender. Criticize others."


    The scene of the press conference on this day was very quiet, and when Aldridge finished speaking unabashedly, he got up and left.


    He told some secrets that everyone did not know!


    If he is a nameless pawn, that''s all.


    With his influence, the negative impact and blow on UEFA''s image will be very lethal!


    Like the real power inside UEFA, during the World Cup and the European Cup bid, there must be some black transactions, but it is difficult to accept a fair trial due to the lack of supervision. Even if the media finds some clues and exposure, it will actually only The core question is: who will sue them? Who will judge them again?


    The former UEFA or FIFA presidents are not all with a lot of bad debts. How many monstrous sins are filled with it?


    Everyone knows this, but they can only keep their mouth shut tacitly. People who participate in football affairs are afraid to offend UEFA or FIFA, which will provoke revenge on the other side afterwards. What does addiction mean?


    But since UEFA has bullied the door, if Aldridge does not fight back, then he is not Aldridge.


    On the second day when Aldridge led his team to the Vera Park stadium, UEFA officials announced that Aldrich had issued a warning for improper remarks and was fined 30,000 euros!


    Before the start of the Premier League game, Aldridge was sitting in the stands of Villa Park. He was not suspended. He just arrived in the stadium early and did not want to stand on the sidelines. He took a seat in the stands behind the coach seat. , A reporter gathered to chat with him.


    Talked about UEFA''s penalty.


    Aldridge shook his head disdainfully: "It''s ridiculous that Millwall could pay a fine of ¡ê500,000 to the FA. It was indeed because we did something wrong and brought harm to innocent people. But UEFA Why do you punish me? Just because I said a few words? Well, even if I speak poorly and improperly, but UEFA officials can arbitrarily vilify Millwall? Oh, 30,000 euros? I also pay a penny I won¡¯t give it to UEFA. If they get better, I don¡¯t mind bringing UEFA to court in my own name! Go to the International Sports Arbitration Tribunal to see if I should pay a fine for everyone in the world to see. What the **** is UEFA doing?"


    "Yes, tell UEFA to go! Sir Hall, I support you!"


    A small Vera fan sitting behind Aldridge excitedly echoed Aldridge''s remarks.


    Aston Villa has succeeded in relegation, although their fans don¡¯t have much affection for Millwall, but yesterday Odric criticized UEFA¡¯s remarks and really won the favor of many people. This young handsome looks like a Guys, don¡¯t counsel at a critical moment and be able to stand up and protect the dignity of the fans!


    Yes, there are football hooligans among Millwall fans.


    Can''t knock it down with a pole and treat all Millwall fans as football hooligans.


    Put in other clubs, whose fans have few **** villains?


    Aldrich turned his head and smiled at the little fan. The other party immediately asked Aldridge to give him a signature. Aldridge smiled and signed him. The little fan seemed to want to show his position and specifically let Audrey Qi added a name before the name: the 2002 World Cup England national team coach.


    In this way, it is possible for the little fans to treasure Aldridge''s signature with confidence, showing that this is a love of the national team coach Odridge, not Millwall coach Odridge.


    Of course, the reporter will report what Aldridge just said, that is, on the next day, after the remarks appeared in the newspaper, combined with the UEFA internal Johnsson party''s counterattack by the Platini group, it claimed that "someone" was in Hu. Engage!


    Anyway, Aldridge¡¯s fine was not handed over to UEFA, and the matter is gone. UEFA has not mentioned it since.


    At the Vera Park stadium, Millwall, despite shaking hands with Aston Villa, but in another game, Chelsea lost to the season on the road due to the full-time Champions League and just played the FA Cup semi-finals. Blackburn, who was exceptionally brave, made Millwall defend his title two rounds in advance!


    The sensational media published the title of "Chelsea lost two lines in three days" on the eve of the Champions League semi-finals.


    The FA Cup semi-final was eliminated by Liverpool.


    The league finally ended the suspense.


    The reason why Chelsea is reported so much is that in the penultimate round, Millwall will be visiting Stamford Bridge. Millwall, who has successfully defended his title, may be welcomed by Chelsea team there!


    This makes Chelsea, who intends to overthrow Millwall rule this season, even more overwhelmed!


    But the league has lost, Chelsea should not at least lose their demeanor, even if Millwall is their enemy, but the tradition of lining up to welcome the defending champions, Chelsea should obey any other team in the Premier League, because half a century ago, they When they won the first league title, they were the first team to taste the popularity of their opponents. It was them. And it was Manchester United who started this traditional prologue to pay tribute to the league champion at Old Trafford.


    In the midst of expectations, the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals came as scheduled.


    Aldridge led the team as a guest at Highbury.


    Before the start of the game, Highbury created a tragic atmosphere, Arsenal fans were looking forward to the miracle in the stands.


    The score is 0:2.


    Two goals behind, the gap is not too big, especially Arsenal have home advantage.


    However, the opponent is Millwall!


    Even if the assumption is 0:0, or even a 1-0 lead, Arsenal will not be easy.


    In the last game at the Lion King Stadium, Millwall beat Arsenal with a strong attack. In the second round, Aldridge put on a defensive formation.


    It seems that Aldridge did not intend to give Arsenal any chance.


    Wenger saw that there was no Henry and Ronaldinho in the starting lineup of Millwall. He was still somewhat happy, but when he saw the formations behind him, his face became very gloomy.


    Millwall played 4312 today.


    The three midfielders are De Rossi, Pedretti, Alonso, and in front of them are Nedved.


    The two strikers are Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka Shadow.


    The reason for Aldridge''s formation is that Millwall''s physical fitness test is very severe at the end of the season.


    On the 13th there will be the FA Cup final and on the 18th the Champions League final.


    Both games are played in the middle ground.


    The first game is going to Wales, the second game is going to France.


    Considering that Liverpool''s morale led by Benitez is so high that they will return to the Champions League after a long absence, Liverpool will definitely try their best to play in the FA Cup final. Millwall''s bench lineup may not be a good win, and if the FA Cup loses, The morale impact will also have a negative impact. Weighing again and again, Aldridge needs the main players to play in these two finals, so in this second round of the Champions League, it can not be excessively consumed. After all, it is two weeks away from the FA Cup final.


    Arsenal took the vow to reverse Millwall''s momentum in Highbury, but the reality is very cruel. Millwall guarded the midfield, strangling the opponent''s attack in the midfield, and then quickly launched a fast attack when the offense and defense changed. Arsenal today Can''t stand still, Ronaldo and Kaka have a lot of room to play.


    In the end, with the two men scoring one goal each in the first and second half, the Arsenal were eliminated with a total score of 4:0 to advance to the final!


    After the game, Highbury booed his boo!


    Wenger ushered in the most difficult period after he entered Arsenal.


    The four major seasons are empty, and the league missed the top four, losing the qualification for the Champions League, next season can only move to the UEFA Cup!


    A day later, Millwall''s Champions League final opponent was announced.


    Mourinho led Chelsea still with utilitarian anti-reaction, two rounds eliminated the old Milan and lost the striker core Shevchenko AC Milan.


    The Champions League final will stage the Premier League civil war for the second time!


    Compared to the civil war boogie of Millwall vs. Manchester United, this year is more a civil war in London, a battle of foes!

 Chapter 1162： Premier League Eight

    April 30, Stamford Bridge.


    Rarely, at the arrival of a strong dialogue, many seats at Stamford Bridge were actually empty.


    It is not that the support of the Blues fans for Chelsea has declined, but it is true that on this day, many Chelsea fans have chosen to stay away from Stamford Bridge.


    Reluctant to witness the Blues marching at Stamford Bridge to pay tribute to the three-time champion of the league!


    Chelsea is destined to take the second place in the league this season, ranking under Millwall for two consecutive years!


    Millwall also defended successfully.


    At the same time, Millwall''s next two important games are the FA Cup and the Champions League final.


    Chelsea also have a Champions League final on the 18th of next month.


    It stands to reason that this penultimate round of the league game should be a routine business. Everyone is unwilling to consume too much at this time. For the top strong teams, they really put their energy into playing a high-level game. Especially in the Premier League, the degree of fierce physical confrontation will not be controlled by reason. If there is a key player injury, I am afraid that it will not be worth the loss, and it will lay hidden dangers in the peak battle behind.


    Fleet Street speculated that Mourinho would set up a strong line at home to meet defending champion Millwall.


    Millwall will send a lot of substitutes!


    Mourinho will fight for honor and dignity. When the Millwall League champion is handed over, he will send a congratulatory gift: defeat Stamford Bridge!


    In addition, there are considerations to suppress the morale of Millwall.


    It will be Aldridge''s clever way to send a substitute to Millwall, in order to consume Chelsea players and lay a groundwork for the Champions League final.


    However, when the game was about to start, Fleet Street reporters found that their predictions were both right and wrong!


    Chelsea did send a stronger lineup, but put technical players on the bench, such as Robben and Joe Cole.


    On Millwall''s side, most of the team''s main lineup with a substitute came to Stamford Bridge.


    Just looking at the battle, the two teams are going to have a fierce collision between Mars and the earth.


    In the silence of Stamford Bridge, the Chelsea starting players stood in line on the court to welcome the arrival of Millwall.


    Under the leadership of Captain De Rossi, Millwall walked into the court proudly, Chelsea players were applauding on both sides, but their expressions clearly showed the unwillingness and suffocation contained in their eyes. !


    Mourinho sat expressionless on the coach seat, and Audridge did not intend to come here to show off his strength. After entering the stadium, he sat on the coach seat and quietly waited for the game to start.


    The queue welcome is like a small ceremony, only the moment recorded by the lens and camera will have a long aftertaste in the future.


    "Today at this moment, presumably the most bitter person in my heart is Mourinho, the man who came to London two years ago with the brazen words that overthrew the mad lion dynasty. He has only been able to achieve his goal for almost two consecutive years. The difference is only a little, but the gap between them, which is the difference between the two games in a season, makes Chelsea, a luxury division in Europe that has been recognized as the top strong team, with Millwall¡¯s The strength gap is more vividly regarded as the strongest among the top strong teams and super first-class special existence! Whether or not Mourinho will continue to stay at Stamford Bridge at the end of this season, he has proved himself here, Chelsea history For the first time in the UEFA Champions League final, the highest points in the Premier League era, the highest ranking, etc., although Mourinho has only brought a championship trophy for Chelsea for the time being, he has shaped a ball that cannot be underestimated throughout Europe. Team, this team is called the Blues Chelsea!"


    Around the Stamford Bridge, there is not only the ambition of the first Champions League in the history of the club, but also the fact that they are deliberately avoiding it.


    Mourinho''s future destiny at Stamford Bridge will depend on the outcome of the Champions League final.


    If he can ascend to the European throne, he will definitely continue to coach Chelsea next season, but if he cannot complete this feat, Abu will immediately dismiss him.


    The opening ceremony to welcome the defending champion''s ceremony ended and the game continued as usual.


    When Mourinho sat on the coach seat and observed Millwall''s posture at the start, he suddenly lowered his head to show a smile.


    There is no ridicule and no resentment.


    Probably today''s league has lost its competitive significance. Mourinho''s mentality has relaxed a lot, but at this time there is a hint of sympathy with Audridge.


    From the platoon formation and the attitude of the players on the field, the two people''s ideas are once again diametrically opposed. In a sense, they also coincide.


    After Chelsea finished the league, and then finished the league finale, they will focus all their attention on the Champions League final.


    Millwall still has a FA Cup final, and the time between the FA Cup final and the Champions League final is not long. In addition to the recovery of players'' physical fitness, they also have the exhaustion of the boat.


    Therefore, today''s game, the outside world''s guess is correct, Mourinho wants to use a stronger lineup to consume Millwall!


    Before the game, he also thought that with Aldrich''s "sly", he will definitely use the bench lineup to avoid the main force consumption, and recuperate to compete in two important finals in a row.


    In this way, it does not matter!


    Chelsea killing Millwall at Stamford Bridge not only stimulates their own morale, but also suppresses the morale of Millwall, causing them to lose to their rivals in the same city in the defending league. Doesn''t this mean that Chelsea has added to Millwall''s chaos?


    But what about Aldridge?


    He did not put up a full bench, and even did not put technical players on the bench like Mourinho, Ronaldinho entered the starting lineup!


    Obviously, Aldridge is unwilling to lose today, especially to his rival Chelsea. If he loses to other opponents without hatred, he will lose to his rival Chelsea. In addition, half a month later, the two teams have a Champions League peak. Battle, this result is very bad anyway!


    But I can''t lose, and I really can''t lose heart and Chelsea desperately here!


    Therefore, after the game began, Millwall was dominated by stable control, the formation was not overwhelming, the offense was very cautious, and the rhythm was not fast. It was more like passively looking at Chelsea''s ideas in the game today.


    Mourinho wants to consume Millwall.


    What Aldridge thinks is: can Mourinho accept the home game and then lose to Millwall?


    Even if it is an insignificant game!


    Therefore, Millwall does not seem to be particularly conservative in defensive formation, but they did come to fight back at Stamford Bridge!


    If Chelsea wants to consume Millwall, then they must actively oppress the attack, and then Millwall fights their counterattack to see who can laugh to the end!


    If everything loses, the impact on the morale of the Champions League final, Mourinho is willing to bear it again?


    Mourinho set up a strong battle to "deter" Millwall!


    Aldridge also put on a weak lineup and pinched Chelsea''s "seven inches"!


    Poor fans from all over the world who watched on television saw that the two teams sent most of the main game to play. They were excited to enjoy a strong dialogue and hoped that the two teams would devote a classic battle.


    As a result, the scene is always unrest.


    In 90 minutes, the two teams were dull!


    The total number of shots taken by both sides is only 10!


    Aldridge led Millwall to retreat at Stamford Bridge, and he can start preparing for the last two heavyweight games at the end of the season.


    A week later, the Premier League ended.


    Millwall ushered in Blackburn''s challenge at home.


    In view of Millwall''s good performance after the Newcastle storm, the FA approved the application of Millwall to postpone the penalty for the closing of the home stands until the second home game day next season. Did Millwall fans cheer for the team? This is too inhuman!


    In this final battle, the trident composed of Messi, Aguero, and Glenshare performed well. Black completed the task this season, and he was unwilling to disturb Millwall to celebrate the championship in the last game. They are not on the court, but consider where to go for a holiday. Blackburn did not show the true character of "violent book". Instead, Messi and Aguero, two little clever men, galloped freely in their penalty areas. Easily helped Millwall win the final game 4:1.


    After the game, the Blackburn team quickly retreated, and Millwall was preparing to hold the championship ceremony.


    Since there was an FA Cup final six days later, the players did not celebrate passionately on the court and seemed restrained.


    Fans in the stands cheered happily for the team, took photos, and asked for autographs. Millwall''s championship ceremony really seemed like a walk through.


    Aldridge walked into the court and chatted with the players comfortably.


    Suddenly someone hit him in the chest and stumbled him and almost fell to the ground.


    A closer look and see Aguero laughed, teasing: "Boss, you are really old!"


    Aldridge walked over to reach out and deliberately messed with Aguero¡¯s hairstyle and smiled: "It''s not that I am old, it''s you who grew up! More and more strong."


    "Strong ass!"


    De Rossi walked to Aguero''s side to compare the muscles in his arm and looked disdainful.


    Ronaldo also came silently to the other side of Aguero, slightly pulling up his trousers to reveal his thick thighs...


    Aguero suddenly shouted: "Do you still have humanity! You should comfort me today!"


    Ronaldo grinned and patted his shoulder and said, "I''ll take a picture of you with a medal later."


    Aguero has not played enough league games this season, so even if he wins the championship, there are no medals to win.


    However, he had already been prepared. At this time, he pulled up the collar of the jersey and hung a medal on his neck. He took it out and kissed it with a smile: "Hahaha, I don''t need to borrow yours. I have it!"


    Ronaldo''s eyes widened: "Where did you steal it from?"


    Aguero pointed to Aldridge and said, "It was given to me by the boss, a long time ago!"


    Aldridge didn''t expect Aguero to bring that medal to him today.


    Aguero showed off the medals and mixed beads, before calling to take photos with others, shouting to Audridge: "Boss, this time next year, I will give you my medal as a gift!"


    Aldridge looked up with a smile on his face.


    Silently said: I have received your gift.


    In the summer of 2006, at the end of the twelfth season of Aldridge''s coaching career, he won the eighth Premier League title!

 Chapter 1163： Morale

    13th FA Cup final.


    The Champions League final on the 18th.


    The day after winning the championship, the team was on holiday, but the coaching staff held a meeting in the club conference room to discuss how to face these two finals.


    In the past, they also played in the finals consecutively, and even joined the league to continue the decisive battle on different fronts.


    However, this season is different. Because the World Cup is about to take place, the European competition ends earlier and the interval between the seasons is shorter.


    After examining the state of Liverpool''s final stage, Boas said, not optimistically: "We must send the main players to the game, and there can be no reservations, Liverpool got the qualification for the Champions League, and the semi-finals was to eliminate strong opponents like Chelsea. , They will do everything for the last stop of the season! We have a little care, this final is likely to encounter Waterloo, and will have a negative impact on the upcoming Champions League final."


    Even though Millwall is the champion in the league, Liverpool only got the fourth place in the league, but referring to the points scored by Liverpool this season, it exceeded 80 points!


    This is a point that can definitely compete for the championship in the past Premier League era. It can be seen that Liverpool, led by Benitez, dare not say that the glory of the past has been restored, at least reaching a culmination of Liverpool in the past decade.


    Aldrich sat on the top of the meeting room with Erlang''s legs. During the intense discussion with the coaching staff, he waved his hands to calm down the meeting room and said, "There is a saying that the times make heroes. We do our job well. Not enough, it depends on the current situation, whether we can create a heroic environment, Liverpool, Chelsea, these are our familiar opponents, the worst case, we can foresee, make this psychological preparation, and then, wait for reality to come Now, let¡¯s deal with it again.¡±


    The problem before Millwall is: opponents are more likely to target them, but they are more difficult to target them!


    Just like Chelsea in the Champions League final, what is Millwall thinking about?


    Break intensive defense!


    Instead of thinking about how to limit Chelsea''s offense.


    In terms of attitude, Chelsea must be conservative. Since it is so, it is not difficult to think hard about how to limit Chelsea, but most of it is a waste of time. The other party will not take the initiative to attack. What is the point of trying to limit the other party?


    In the end, what tricks will Benitez and Mourinho use against Aldridge in the game?


    He is useless to guess. His main energy can only be concentrated on his own side. He has determined the starting of the two games, paying attention to the physical condition and physical condition of the players, and as far as possible to integrate the various factors to send the strongest lineup.


    On May 13th, Millwall and Liverpool club Wales Cardiff Millennium Stadium.


    In the seats full of seats, the red blood of Liverpool fans in Red Army seemed to be particularly eye-catching!


    Although he has also won the UEFA Cup in the past, he never met Millwall, the European hegemon, in such a scene. As a status upgrade and a leap in strength, he could finally stand in front of the king and pull out his sword. Declare war!


    Before the game started, Aldridge shook hands with Benitez on the sidelines. Aldridge leaned in front of Benitez and whispered: "Raphael, how are we going to solve the battle in 90 minutes today?"


    Benitez pushed his glasses, and Shen Sheng replied: "Why? Don''t you feel late playing psychological warfare at this time?"


    Aldridge shrugged and smiled indifferently: "I''m just telling the truth, you know, Millwall can''t spend 120 minutes with Liverpool today, not to mention the heavy impact of the penalty shootout on the player''s psychology, winning Fortunately, I really lost. Haha, is Millwall going to kneel and go to France to fight with Chelsea again?"


    These remarks were straightforward and pertinent.


    Benitez nodded subconsciously, and then his face was tense, and he stared at Audridge with vigilance, a sense of suspicion.


    That''s right, when Benitez speculates on the opponent''s mentality, there are good and bad factors.


    How he hoped that Millwall would go to Chelsea and Liverpool would go on!


    Regardless of the success or failure of this game, Benitez feels that he is helping Mourinho, and he and Mourinho, hehe, just like Ferguson and Wenger, are dead!


    But there are also good factors. The UEFA Champions League is ultimately heavier than the FA Cup, Millwall has a thought burden, and Liverpool can let go of everything to go to this game.


    "If Millwall wants to solve the battle in 90 minutes, then try it."


    Benitez dropped this sentence and turned to his coach seat.


    Aldridge smiled.


    "The 2005-2006 season of the FA Cup final is about to start. This year''s finals are the two biggest players in England. Millwall and Liverpool. Millwall need not say much. They are the world''s top teams. Liverpool is a traditional giant. He didn¡¯t get a good result in 2014 and was absent from the Champions League for a long time. When the outside world thought that Liverpool might fall into the abyss like Nottingham Forest, Benitez took the second year in office and won the league first in the Premier League this season. Four, next season, the Reds Liverpool will return to the Champions League! Benitez has made fans regain confidence in Liverpool. Today, there may be a big gift for the fans: FA Cup champion! Millwall has one in five days In the Champions League final, but as the trophy harvester, they should not easily let Liverpool take the trophy away!"


    Under the spotlight, this FA Cup final officially kicked off.


    Millwall launched a stormy attack from the first minute!


    This surprised the outside world.


    Because Millwall still has a FA Cup final, logically speaking, this game should be conservative and conservative.


    Aldrich held his chin, he really couldn''t let Millwall go crazy like that for 90 minutes, and maybe even 120 minutes to fight hard.


    He is just grabbing the start!


    Set a tone for the whole game.


    In the first 30 minutes, do everything to decide the game!


    If it can''t be achieved, you have to take it back and fight with Liverpool. As time goes on, as long as there is no physical problem, Audridge believes that Millwall''s championship temperament will definitely overwhelm Liverpool!


    Benitez was caught off guard by the sidelines.


    In fact, Aldridge said that the fight was resolved within 90 minutes. Benitez listened to these words in reverse. He even thought that Millwall would kill Liverpool from the beginning, and wait until Liverpool showed anxiety and entered the momentum. force.


    And the tactics he developed for Liverpool are also the start!


    Can''t lose to Mad Lion in momentum!


    Otherwise, the whole game will be under the shadow of a crazy lion!


    Chacha Millwall¡¯s most worried situation did not appear.


    For Millwall, what are the most difficult situations in the FA Cup and the Champions League finals?


    Liverpool and Chelsea both have buses!


    In order to win, Millwall must pay more energy and patience, of which the test of mentality is very important.


    But Benitez did not swing the bus. Liverpool faced Millwall directly after the opening and pulled the scene open to fight the attack!


    Aldridge breathed a sigh of relief. Although the situation was not too good, it was definitely not the worst!


    The picture that most worried Benitez appeared in the 14th minute of the first half.


    Millwall destroyed the Liverpool defense system in the league again!


    In the 14th minute of the game, Ram came to the midfield, and after stopping the ball, he directly cut into the middle to push the offensive, which disrupted the defense system of Liverpool''s midfield. After attracting multiple defensive players, the ball was immediately handed over to the other. Ronaldo on one side, at the same time, the little Roller edged, Kaka inserted forward, but Ronaldo also drove the ball diagonally inwardly, and then attracted Sissoko and Carrick to defend. Passed to Ronaldinho. The latter already had a passing space in front of him. The ball was sent to the ribs of the penalty area with a concealed straight plug. Kaka outflanked the middle of the front door. Henry pretended to pass the ball after receiving the ball. The key point is that Hypia lost her focus in order to block the pass!


    After Hypia turned his center of gravity, cold sweat appeared on his forehead, because he saw that Henry was kicking the ball back, and then took a horizontal step to shake Hypia away!


    Obliquely to the goal, Henry calmly pushed the ball and sent it into the goal!


    "Milwall seized the first after the opening! The cooperation between Ronaldinho and Henry. Henry shoved Hypeia in the penalty area and pushed the shot. Liverpool was bad. The score fell shortly after the opening, which made them next. Will be in trouble."


    The Liverpool congregation will probably have realized this goal drop, because playing Millwall, there is no team in Europe that dare not say not to drop the ball!


    Liverpool morale did not suffer much, continue to attack firmly!


    The Millwall team hesitated.


    In their pre-match preparations, the coaching staff''s requirement for the game is that they must attack in the first 30 minutes, return to balance after taking the lead, dominate the control, and only boldly attack when the offensive opportunities are better.


    Now the score is ahead, they naturally take it back, but Liverpool is like a wild beast, regardless of having been injured once, and attacking wildly!


    Under the scruples of convergence, Millwall was soon equalized by Liverpool after 3 minutes!


    Gerard, who played an exceptionally eye-catching role this season, shot long from outside the penalty area. After being refracted, the ball rebounded on Schneider''s leg who was defending the penalty area. He immediately stepped forward to make a clearance, but Kewell was the first to poke the ball. In front of the goal, Irving, who moved like a rabbit, stretched his foot in front of Bout to poke the ball into the goal!


    The Millwall defender immediately raised his hand to signal that Owen was offside. From a slow-motion replay, Owen was suspected of offside, but it was in the slightest, and it was difficult to blame the referee.


    "Liverpool equalized the score! The goal scorer was Irving! The score changed twice in 3 minutes. 1:1. Liverpool''s goal will boost their morale!"


    That''s right, 0:0 and 1:1 have a very different impact on Liverpool''s morale. Equalizing the score is very effective in boosting morale, especially against opponents like Millwall.

 Chapter 1164： A Thousand Miles Night Attack

    Cardiff Millennium Stadium.


    Irving rushed to celebrate in the chase of Liverpool teammates. The Red Army fans roared in the stands and quickly tied the score, as if they really had the illusion: The gap between us and European overlord Millwall has become very small.


    Benitez is still the tepid look, but his mentality is completely different from before the opening.


    He saw Millwall''s posture today and vaguely figured out Aldridge''s psychology.


    Solve the battle in 90 minutes?


    Then the **** is a lie!


    Millwall was to lay victory in one stroke at the beginning, destroy Liverpool with a destructive offensive, and then spend the rest of the time slowly killing opponents and using their good control.


    Humph!


    Aldrich, did not expect it!


    Liverpool''s temperament is completely different from the past!


    We will not be defeated by goals, we have made the worst situation awareness, and deal with everything!


    Bloody, tenacious and undefeated Red Army, this season, announced the return!


    It was Millwall, Aldridge, did you expect this situation now?


    What will Millwall do next?


    Can the whole team''s thinking be unified?


    Although the game started less than 20 minutes, Benitez has a keen sense of potential changes in the field.


    Millwall has converged after scoring a goal, but after losing the ball?


    Do you rush out again?


    The adjustment of the whole team itself has very high requirements for the unified thinking of the whole team. Once different synchronization adjustments are made, the team will fall apart!


    Lion fans in the stands, Millwall players in the stadium, they feel aggrieved at the moment.


    Not because Liverpool is so powerful, nor because it is suppressed on the scene.


    Not because of changes in scores.


    Not to mention 1:1, even if they are 1:2, 1:3, they cannot be shaken.


    However, Liverpool''s passionate fighting spirit seems to be a kind of provocation.


    Provocation against Wang!


    This is intolerable!


    But, everyone must suppress calmness, the final of the Champions League is hovering in my mind!


    That was Millwall''s second chance to dominate the Champions League with three consecutive championships!


    If you can win the Champions League.


    The second Champions League authentic trophy will come to the Lion King Stadium!


    Because of this, the powerful but unable to exert their full strength, so that the players are in flames.


    Aldridge on the sidelines can naturally feel the emotions of the players.


    Good!


    Aldrich stood on top of the peak, still not forgetting to live in peace.


    The battle is not open, first want to lose!


    Millwall is in this situation. He is really ready. Of course, in many other games, he is always ready, but it may not be useful in the game.


    But a strong sense of worry will allow him to make preparations.


    To be honest, he expected that Liverpool might seize the opportunity to break through Millwall''s city gate, but he didn''t expect it to be so fast, so close to Millwall''s goal time, the impact will be even stronger!


    Aldridge made a gesture on the sidelines. Millwall players were very calm and restrained despite the fire in their hearts. How should the team play? At the pre-match preparation meeting, the coaching staff had deployed to deal with different Happening.


    Now, they will not panic.


    As for how to play the next game, it is not as aggressive as the opening game.


    Aldrich responded to this situation, not to change the team''s overall situation, but to a heavy responsibility for a player!


    After the kick-off of the game, Millwall''s posture has not changed dramatically, and it is still mainly balanced.


    Benitez watched the consequences for a minute and then stood up and walked to the sidelines for on-site scheduling.


    Liverpool has a key marker for Millwall''s key players. This is undoubtedly emphasized before the game.


    If Millwall wants to consume Liverpool with a steady mentality, this is indeed a hidden danger.


    Too much eager to win the victory of Millwall, eager to win the championship trophy, Liverpool players certainly can not match the psychological quality of Millwall, although they are also very strong.


    But if the score can''t lead, the later in the game, the more unfavorable to Liverpool, they will be more likely to make mistakes!


    A mistake will ruin a game!


    To be able to make up for this, for Liverpool, it is infinite fighting spirit and momentum!


    There is also a rhythm and speed shock that erupts on the basis of physical fitness!


    The Liverpool rear line paid special attention to Ronaldinho, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, and Henry. They almost sounded the alarm as soon as they got the ball.


    The game seemed to be in a stalemate. Millwall did not rush into the offensive, and the step-by-step play seemed to be penetrated by Liverpool.


    Even Liverpool had more dangerous offenses after equalizing the score, but it all came from a long shot, and it was very difficult to catch a good opportunity in the penalty area.


    Benitez began to shake a little, unable to understand what Aldridge was playing. It seems that Millwall is not determined between offense and defense. This is also a common problem for many teams to play well in balancing the tactical system. To attack, not firm enough, to defend, and not thorough enough.


    It stands to reason that such a scene should not appear on Millwall, because Aldridge has always been very clear about what the team should ask for and what to shape on the court.


    In the first half of the 35-minute walk, Benitez became more and more heavy, vaguely, he suspected that Liverpool was being paralyzed by Millwall, and Millwall, under calm, was brewing a shocking storm!


    This thought just flashed in his mind, and the situation on the field was abrupt, and he noticed a player''s running position, making his heart beat like a thunder!


    who?


    Philip Ram!


    At first, Ram was like an ordinary side assist running up and cooperating with Ronaldinho. However, in the 36th minute, after Ram passed the ball to Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho moved the ball back without moving. Going to hit Liverpool''s tight defense, at the same time, Ram is close to the inside line, and Ronaldinho has a staggered position before and after!


    This way of running position itself caused the vigilance of Liverpool generals, but Ronaldinho immediately passed the ball to Kaka in the middle when they just distracted from their vigilance!


    The Liverpool defender must immediately focus on Kaka, who took the ball a step forward and immediately kicked the ball!


    His pass line is to kick the ball to the line that Ronaldinho would normally cut.


    But Ronaldinho was not there, Ram appeared there!


    At this moment, the defensive strength of Liverpool has declined.


    Ronaldinho has attracted many people to defend before, like Gerald and Carrick, who are ready to encircle Ronaldinho at any time in the area, so the distance cannot be pulled away!


    So at this time, Ramneche''s defensive pressure was not great, and Kaka''s pass was also in place. Ram used the tempo difference in stopping the ball in front of Hypia to immediately move the ball laterally. In terms of flexibility, He can beat Hepia a lot, and then go directly to the ball and go in the middle!


    Sisoko quickly withdrew from the penalty area, and Karag must also come to make up the position. Ram did not think too much and stepped into the penalty area. After the shooting angle appeared, he immediately took a shot!


    Reina blocked the ball in a hurry, but failed to hold the ball. The ball bounced in the penalty area.


    Someone greeted a supplementary shot as the rebounded ball rolled!


    The ball flew into the goal!


    The Liverpool team was dumbfounded.


    It seems that Millwall has not exerted much force, but how can he still concede the ball!


    "C Ronaldo helped Millwall lead the score again! 2:1!"


    Benitez bowed his head and gritted his teeth on the sidelines: "Change the front!"


    That''s right, Aldridge did not use the team''s overall situation to change the offense, nor did it allow players to use more personal dribbling breakthroughs to disrupt Liverpool''s defense, because then it consumes more physical energy and has a greater probability of injury.


    He moved only one pawn, Ram, and produced an unexpected effect!


    At any time, the change is an offensive method that is very difficult to prevent.


    The offensive return is great, but the risk is also very big. Fortunately, Millwall has matured in the waist position in the past two years, and the defense is more stable, so that even if the full-backs are out of position, they are not in the defensive position, and the ability to defend the back is improved. You can maximize this risk flaw.


    But the change forward must not be used frequently, that is, become a conventional means. This is not a hidden danger of defense, but to tell the opponent completely: We are the biggest weakness in the defense of the full-back!


    That will first allow the opponent to adapt to the defensive habits, and secondly, it will also allow the opponent to use the space behind the full-back assists to break the sidelines.


    So Millwall was attacking step by step for a while, and suddenly Ram was plugged into an incarnation to play the most effective attack. After this attack, Ram will return to the traditional impression of a full-back, when will it be activated again? Change role, according to the situation changes on the field, by Ram personal judgment.


    In the past two years, Ram¡¯s maturity and progress have been obvious to all. He said that the traditional full-back is already impeccable. Of course, outsiders insist that he is not strong enough and the confrontation is slightly inferior, then there is no way. His body is innate. In this way, his maturity and progress are based on his personal potential.


    Liverpool''s goal by Millwall was indeed somewhat confusing.


    Not to mention that they have counseled, but they can''t be completely irrational. Some problems cannot be solved. For example, if Ronaldinho overturned their defense line alone, how can this problem be solved? There is no way to solve it!


    But if it is like Ram assisting to form a new threat point in the penalty area, Liverpool can solve it, at least remind each other to pay attention to the opponent''s hidden attack point, how to assist defense, how to protect each other.


    So even if they are behind again, the Liverpool team has somewhat converged their offense. To see if Millwall will continue to play like this, they must coordinate with each other to block Millwall''s unexpected offense.


    But what made Liverpool depressed was that Ram no longer stepped forward, as if he was holding a sword, but he took the initiative to hide it. When he waited for his opponent to relax his vigilance, he would pull out the sword and carry out a fatal blow!


    The change is the assassin of Millwall''s many enemy killing characters!


    Not only was he rushing for thousands of miles, but also when the opponent seemed to be in the darkest night with the most lack of defense, killing and bloodless!

 Chapter 1165： Double crown into the bag

    When the game went to the second half, Millwall played extremely conservatively before 60 minutes, which Aldridge specifically urged during the halftime.


    The purpose is to consume time.


    After 60 minutes, the game has 1/3 left, and the time is still passing. At this time, the game has basically returned to the original idea of ??the Millwall coaching team. Competing with the opponents for psychological quality, can Liverpool still sink? Hold your breath?


    They will pass the championship trophy, will they be reconciled?


    Benitez was on the sidelines. Although he made many gestures to make Liverpool calmer, but with less and less game time, Millwall did not show too much threat on the offensive end, and the Liverpool team players must be strong. Attacking and struggling to equalize the score, Benitez knew that if he could not score a goal as soon as possible, Liverpool would fall into a runaway!


    This out-of-control is caused by multiple reasons, even if Millwall does not form a huge offensive oppression on the field, but Millwall''s sensory impression will form a huge deterrent!


    In the 66th minute, Liverpool mobilized a massive attack, but the attack was ended by Silva in the penalty area. He resisted Gerard who was plugged in. Not only did he interfere with the opponent''s shot, but also directly The ball blocked out!


    No corner kick was given to Liverpool.


    Two minutes later, Liverpool, who seemed to be fighting more and more, was punished.


    Ram again!


    Liverpool''s pressure will inevitably allow them to start a crazy rush from the frontcourt when they turn from attack to defense. As soon as Ronaldinho takes the ball, two or three players will come up. In this case, Ronaldinho is not hard to fight. Kicked the ball with a beautiful heel when he was caught and passed the ball to Ram who inserted the wing.


    Ram, who tore the opponent''s defense with a strong impact, cut in front of the penalty area, then suddenly stopped, hitting a rhythm, and inserted the ball straight into the penalty area. Henry leaned back against Carragher and his foot arch will The ball was gently pushed again, and then Kaka, who was strongly attacked, faced the ball in front of him, and shot the door without hesitation!


    Reina did not react, the ball was too fast, and flew into the goal in the blink of an eye!


    No one can react, and it is too late to predict.


    Kaka vented his passion with a fist after scoring a goal, and he was in the same mood as other Millwall players.


    This is not a game they have no confidence to win!


    But they cannot use all their strength to win the game!


    This made them very depressed during certain periods of the game.


    Only after scoring a goal can you vent a little!


    They did not complain about Aldridge¡¯s tactical arrangements. After all, they knew which was more important.


    Waiting for them is the Champions League final five days later!


    There is only a four-day interval between them, they have to restore physical fitness, and they have to rush to France to adapt to the environment.


    It is rare to see Kaka, who is like a boy next door, roaring on the field, and all Millwall fans take it for granted.


    As if Kaka was roaring towards Liverpool: Don''t stop us from reaching the top three crowns!


    "3:1, Millwall expanded his lead through a quick counterattack! Although we are no strangers to scoring goals, in the process of creating goals, Ram took the lead and scored the second and third goals. The ball is inseparable from his performance. He reminds us of Ashley Cole and Zambrotta who used to play Millwall, but they have different characteristics on the first line of attack. Mu is more flexible and has better ball control skills, so he can not only tear his opponent''s defense, but also calmly send a good pass! Lam is a key member of the German team''s team at the World Cup in Lam''s home country next month !"


    Benitez looked very helpless on the sidelines, and his shoulders also tended to fall, as if defeated by Millwall''s third goal.


    I have to admit that if Millwall also embarked on a utilitarian path, then in 99% of the games, Millwall was accompanied by an "undefeated aura"!


    There is absolutely no way to take them. If you want to attack and score goals, the formation will be opened and the field space given to Millwall will be very large. Their technical players will get rid of the breakthrough ability in a small range, which is really frightening!


    Aldridge looked at the game time to let the bench players warm up.


    With two goals in hand, the game is almost settled.


    After the 70th minute of the game, Aldridge made two substitutions.


    Ronaldinho was replaced by Pedretti and Baines came on to replace Lahm.


    When the two players left the field, they were warmly cheered by the fans.


    Millwall also changed his formation from 433 to 4312.


    At this time, Liverpool still want to attack, but they are a bit scared. After Millwall has paid attention to protecting the backcourt, their offense has no chance except to hold high.


    Although they have a certain technical ability, they have not yet reached the top strength, based on the player''s personal breakthrough ability.


    The Red Army people who worked **** the field will be brave and delicate, and facing the rational and ruthless Millwall, they can only watch the minutes of the game lapse, and Millwall''s defense. At this time, it is really Good as a golden soup!


    "I have to say that this game is from the team''s overall play to the spirit of temperament. Liverpool is actually stronger than Millwall. We can understand that Millwall is so calm and there is no sign of over-excitement. Their mind is definitely placed in the Champions League. In the finals, if Millwall won the championship, they must have defeated Liverpool tactically. On the level of fighting spirit and fighting spirit, Liverpool should be the winning side! Such Liverpool is our favorite Liverpool, but today¡¯s Mill Wall, but not our favorite Millwall."


    When the Liverpool players paid everything, at the last moment they could only use a long pass to hit the offense into the Millwall penalty area, but it was difficult to score a goal. The Reds will only desperately listen to the referee¡¯s whistle and watch. The Millwall team took the podium to win the championship trophy!


    After the game ended, the Red Army members lost their souls. Gerrard crouched down and looked down at the turf. I don''t know what his expression was, but it saddened countless Red Army fans.


    Even the narrator was touched by this picture.


    "Although Liverpool have lost the game, their progress in the last two seasons is very obvious. They won the UEFA Cup last year and returned to the top four in the league this year to qualify for the Champions League next season. At this moment, although they lost Lost the FA Cup final, but it should be held up, losing to Millwall is not a shame, but the reality is too cruel! To think of such a Millwall, suppressing Manchester United, Arsenal all year long in the league, investing in three years The amazing Chelsea can''t shake the **** of the mad lion, let alone the terrifying dominance of Millwall in the European war. We hope that today''s defeat is not a blow to Liverpool, but an incentive to let them go forward and hit the peak of the future! "


    Aldridge approached Benitez. The two shook hands after the match. Benitez didn¡¯t escape. He said frankly: ¡°Aldrich, you have nothing to say. You lose no resentment. How much strength did Millwall play today? 80%? 90%? Or, 60%?"


    Aldrich shook his head and said in a deep voice: "If you want to say the probability of winning, I think it may be 120% stronger than in the past, because we have selectively used conservative tactics. The aggressive offensive does not mean that the probability of winning will Promotion, because the risk we take will be higher, we reduce the risk, but will increase the probability of winning, utilitarianism, this is the case."


    Benitez nodded, believing some comfort.


    Yes, watching the scene, Millwall did not exert all his strength. This is the feeling of the audience, it is correct, but to say that because there is no passion to play offensive football, if the probability of winning is reduced, then it is not correct.


    It is precisely because Millwall has converged the edge and reduced the appreciation of the team''s offense, especially the aggressive play of continuous attack and bombardment, which will allow them to ensure their defense more. The improvement of defense is also the probability of winning. Change of direction.


    Before the two separated, Aldridge heard Benitez''s self-talking words.


    "Why can''t you be as arrogant as Real Madrid..."


    For a moment, the Aldridge ghost sent God into a petrified state.


    Yes, why did Millwall go from being anonymous to famed the world, such a rise in status and influence, fame and fortune came one after another, why are they not lost?


    Aldrich stood thinking about the problem in situ.


    Soon, he found the answer.


    He has two lives.


    If there is no previous life experience, without this advantage, maybe, he will be lost.


    Witnessing the failure of the Galaxy Battleship, Xu was only vigilant at the moment he experienced it.


    He walked into the court to hug and shake hands with the players, celebrate each other, and also came to Gerald, Irving, Carragher, etc. in front of the former national team disciples to simply comfort and encourage two sentences.


    After the award, Millwall had a simple celebration in this stadium, interacting with the fans and thanking them for cheering.


    Millwall''s local season in England is over, and he has won two championship trophies in the league and the FA Cup.


    Next, they rushed to Paris, France, to seize the time to restore physical fitness, prepare for the summit of the Champions League.


    Chelsea arrived in Paris earlier than Millwall. On physical fitness, they have no problem at all. The finals of the league are all played, not to mention so many days of recovery.


    For this pinnacle of the Champions League, Millwall and Chelsea fans are painstakingly.


    After Millwall arrived in Paris, outside the hotel where he stayed, at night, Chelsea fans made noise in groups to disturb Millwall players to rest. Similarly, Millwall fans also went to Chelsea to stay The outside of the hotel is the same.


    However, the fans of both teams were dispelled by the police in Paris and failed to succeed.

 Chapter 1166： Before the threshold of history

    France, Paris, France Stadium.


    Today there is some light rain in the sky, but it can''t rain anymore. These can''t stop the enthusiasm of fans here.


    In the stadium stands, Millwall and Chelsea fans faced each other as if the two armies faced each other. On the opposite main stands, on one side were the Millwall emblems of fanatic lions fans, and on the other side were the Chelsea emblems of blues fans. The scene is particularly spectacular.


    The literary performance before the opening of the Champions League final has ended, and the starting players of the two sides lined up in the player channel waiting for their appearance.


    Aldrich stood on the sidelines ahead of time, this time, he waited for Mourinho to come out.


    In the past, he dismissed Mourinho and didn¡¯t even have a basic handshake, which can be interpreted as a hatred of a dead enemy, but on today¡¯s occasion, Audric believes that the necessary etiquette is still necessary on the most high stage in Europe. There are no personal grudges, only on this stage, the coach needs to show some demeanor.


    Mourinho can''t talk about whether to accept, but he seems unable to refuse.


    Aldrich took the initiative to wait for him to shake hands before coming to the game. If he avoided it and fell in the eyes of people all over the world, it might not be how arrogant and arrogant he was, but it was completely rude.


    And Mourinho did intend to make a positive contact with Audric.


    This UEFA Champions League final is extremely important for his coaching career. He led his team to the UEFA Champions League final for the second time. The opponents are the same.


    He did not want to show the outside world the impression that he was afraid of Aldridge, because in the European finals, he had lost twice, the opponent is also Aldridge.


    In two years of coaching in England, Mourinho made countless enemies, but there were also friends who turned the enemy into friends. For example, Ferguson, who was very disgusted with him at the beginning, now has a strong attitude towards Mourinho.


    When Aldridge and Mourinho stood on the sidelines, the reporters around the two of them immediately frantically filmed a rare scene.


    The two reached out at the same time, held each other, and stared at each other indifferently, Aldridge said: "If you are not the manager of Chelsea, maybe we can sit together and have a drink and chat, Jose, you should know that at first I admire you."


    His appreciation of Mourinho was expressed nine years ago, and he openly invited each other to be his assistant.


    Mourinho¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change, he said lightly: ¡°You like to make friends with your defeated men, how? Will it make you more fulfilled? If one day we can sit together and talk and talk and drink, then it¡¯s sure that I will The coaching team broke down, once, twice, three times, you have to look at the shining winners from the perspective of the loser, Hall, we can¡¯t be friends, you disdain my football philosophy and style, I also treat you That set of snorts, for the time being, all I lose to you is time, and today, everything will change."


    Aldridge looked away and raised his mouth slightly, showing a smile, and immediately turned away.


    Perhaps, Mourinho is such a black-and-white person, and his position is very firm. If a coach like Wenger is a seeker, then Mourinho is an unwavering escort. As for Audric It doesn''t matter whether it is Skywalker in Wenger''s mouth.


    He is already a living legend, writing a new record every day.


    Mourinho stood on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets. Compared with standing on the sidelines of the Champions League final two years ago, he still looks a bit greener. Now his appearance is much more mature, and even makes people feel that he has experienced vicissitudes in England in the past two years!


    A firm and sharp color bloomed in his eyes. Mourinho didn''t care about the "War of Mourinho''s Life and Death" that was talked about by the outside world. Yes, if he lost, Abu would immediately expel him from Stamford Bridge.


    However, he wanted to win!


    Not because I want to stay in the position of Chelsea coach!


    There is no lord here, there is a place to stay here.


    The insane madman is very disgusted with the fact that Abu intervenes in the management of the team, and the hard plug gives him big-name players. Plus the topic of his "fate" has become a discussion on Fleet Street in the last half of the season, and he himself cannot accept it, like He clung to Chelsea''s rice bowl.


    No, he stays here and sticks to this step in order to win!


    Fulfill his promise when he was in England.


    Subvert the mad lion dynasty!


    The English Premier League is indeed a trick, but if it can achieve a breakthrough in the European War and end Millwall''s rule, this may be greater than the achievements in the league!


    Players from both sides entered the stadium with their heads up.


    The flag flutters in the stands, and the civil war of the London Premier League rivals is staged in the Champions League final!


    "The 2005-2006 UEFA Champions League final is about to be staged. The two teams that reached the final this season are from England, and they are both London teams. This reminds us of Millwall and Manchester United division Champions League four years ago. The scene of the final, since the Premier League team in Europe in the late 1990s led by Millwall, they have performed exceptionally well in the Champions League, called the dominant class! From 98 to 2006, the 9-year Champions League, the Premier League team 8 Into the finals, 8 times won! Among them, Manchester United won 1 time, Millwall won 6 times before today, and the remaining 1 time, will be produced today, or Millwall crowned the most Champions League in history. Team, won 7 times! Or Chelsea won the first Champions League trophy in club history! This is destined to be a final with great results!"


    "Millwall must be familiar with this stadium. France Stadium hosted the 2000 Champions League final. It was here that Millwall won the second Champions League trophy in the history of their club. Six years later, they again Coming here and placing them is a new challenge that impacts history! AC Milan, Real Madrid, and Millwall each have a record of winning the Champions League six times. Today, can Millwall rewrite this record? Will AC Milan The second place with Real Madrid, and Millwall, uniquely dominating this extremely glorious throne?"


    "Three years ago, Chelsea were not a particularly worrying team in Europe. Although they have performed well in the UEFA Cup and the European Cup of the Cup, which has been suspended, how special is that, too Too reluctant, because there are many teams in Europe that have achieved good results in those events, but since three years ago, Chelsea has been renewed. Not only have they participated in the Champions League for three consecutive years, and won the second place in the Premier League for two consecutive years, this year is even more historic. To reach the final of the Champions League, they are also facing the challenge of creating club history. Another reality that cannot be ignored is that if Chelsea can win the club''s first European Champions Cup, they will also end Millwall in the Champions League. Domination in China! European football may usher in a new world!"


    In the VIP box in the stands, Chelsea boss Abu, Millwall CEO Carter, together with club officials and some family members, are waiting for the start of the game. This Premier League civil war may reduce the attention of the Champions League final, but for the two clubs In general, this is a historic moment!


    Others don''t care, they don''t care.


    But for themselves and their fans, today is a very important day in their lives!


    Players from both sides took a group photo before the game, and the game will start soon.


    "Introduce the starting list of both parties.


    Millwall 433.


    Goalkeeper: Bute.


    Guards: Schneider, Nesta, Silva, Ram.


    Midfielders: De Rossi, Alonso, Kaka.


    Forwards: C Ronaldo, Henry, Ronaldinho.


    Chelsea 442.


    Goalkeeper: Cech.


    Guards: Ferreira, Carvalho, Terry, Ashley Cole.


    Midfielders: Makelele, Essien, Barack, Lampard.


    Forwards: Drogba, Robben.


    Millwall¡¯s starting lineup was not unexpected, but on the Chelsea side, coach Mourinho not only changed the usual formation, but also placed Joe Cole on the bench to see Chelsea¡¯s midfield combination. Obviously, Chelsea Is to use strong and powerful midfield to contain Millwall''s attack! In the final of this Champions League final, who will die, let us wait and see! "


    In the league this season, Millwall and Chelsea''s confrontation, in fact, the dullness of Stamford Bridge in the second round is not representative, that is to say, Mourinho will not use that game if he wants to sum up his experience. Analyze the case.

 ~： The first round of confrontation at the Lion King Stadium, but Mourinho sounded the alarm.

    Although Chelsea have scored a little less points in the league this season than last season, but considering that the resistance they encountered in the league has been greatly improved compared to last season, in fact this team of Chelsea this season Obvious progress has been made because of the player''s ability improvement, more experience, the team''s running-in chemical reaction efficiency is higher and so on.


    However, Chelsea lost to Millwall at the Lion King Stadium.


    Mourinho''s experience has made him understand that in the face of Millwall, if you want to fight back, then don''t dream of flying with two wings.


    I hope that there are chances of counterattack on both sides, which side is better to fight, which is a very balanced or conventional idea, but the two wings flying together means that there are two side attackers, then strengthen the defense It seems stretched.


    So today he withdrew a wing offense player to give Robben the greatest degree of freedom, and the resulting effect is: steel midfielder!


    Probably Mourinho saw that Lampard¡¯s forward consciousness was too strong, which is not a ¡°weak spot¡± in the league, because Lampard¡¯s ability to score after inserting is very intuitive and effective, and he has a double waist to **** behind him. To ensure that the defense does not fail.


    However, when playing Millwall, both midfielders were not very safe, especially after repeatedly analyzing and studying the video of the game with Millwall, Mourinho found that Millwall''s ability to grasp the poor rhythm of offense and defense conversion is simply powerful. When it''s time to go against the sky, once Lampard goes up, the unremarkable emptiness behind him will be used by Millwall.


    So today, he added a Barak in the midfield!


    Mourinho on the side of the court raised his chin and looked around the audience as if standing on the opposite side of the world.


    Those who criticized him for being conservative and utilitarian!


    Open your eyes wide today!


    He will use the most extreme defense and counterattack to strip the coat of the crazy lion myth, and then cruelly crush the heart of the crazy lion!

 Chapter 1167： Fatal mistake

    In the stadium of France, the fans of the Lions in the stands observed that all Chelsea contracted in their own half after the opening, and they immediately showed mercilessly mercilessly.


    Come here again!


    Swing the bus!


    Endless?


    Perhaps such a mood, Millwall players also have on the field, once again facing Chelsea, the other party puts out a bus array, which in itself easily makes the player into a crazy state: as if the other party completely treats football as a job!


    Putting on the shoes, putting on the jersey, and coming to the greenery field, just to meet the performance standards, and people can not experience the fun from it.


    If every team in the world catches a fight against each other in the same way, will football be the world''s first sport?


    But what makes Millwall players mature is that they can be undisturbed, concentrate on the game, and be good at themselves, regardless of their opponents.


    At least they firmly believe that such a utilitarian football as Chelsea will be punished!


    Aldridge looked slightly dignified on the sidelines.


    In the past two years, he did have an absolute advantage in the match with Mourinho.


    However, in the constant battle, in a sense, it gave Mourinho a revision and improvement of the team, especially how to deal with Millwall, Mourinho''s personal experience is the best source of experience.


    Chelsea strengthened the midfield. In the Premier League, their midfield is very strong. 433''s 3 midfielder needs hardness and hardness. It also has to hide the offensive points. Lampard scored the points.


    Now, from 3 to 4, this improvement is not simply a numerical increase. As the space on the court is further compressed, the chain reaction of defensive connections between teammates, the density of joint defense, and perhaps the improvement is based on doubling the efficiency!


    In the past, Chelsea hit counterattacks, flying together with wings and center and Lampard plugged in. At least four players were involved in the attack.


    Today, Lampard and Barak should have only one person stepping forward, which also improves the efficiency and unpredictability of the post-insertion, but the number of offenses and absolute offenses should be reduced by one, that is, stable Defense, will be composed of at least 7 people!


    This makes Millwall even if it kills Chelsea''s counterattack, fast attack or counterattack can not capture a better opportunity, maybe the whole game is attacking, attacking, attacking!


    After the opening, Millwall played extremely stable due to the finals. At the rhythm they were familiar with, the whole team entered the same track and then began to exert offensive pressure on Chelsea.


    But they did not expect Chelsea to play such a strong muscle midfield today.


    Barack, Lampard, Essien, Makelele.


    And these four midfielders are not in a mad siege. Outside the forty yard area in front of the goal, let Millwall pass the ball freely and wait until they step into the forty yard area. They will be crazy on the basis of joint defense. Fight for it.


    Millwall tried to seduce his opponent with the passing organization. Ronaldinho returned the ball after touching the ball twice in the danger zone. He wanted to make the Chelsea players chase the ball when their heads were hot, but they failed to do so.


    If Millwall is rational to cold, Chelsea''s defensive posture today is as cold as steel!


    In the absence of possession, Chelsea retracted the forty yard zone to defend eight players!


    Drogba and Robben stood in the middle of the rib area on the periphery. When the ball came over, they harassed, but they did not waste physical energy to blindly chase the ball.


    In the dense defense area, Chelsea is really overcrowded.


    Millwall alone on the frontcourt trident plus the front waist Kaka, want to cooperate in front of the Chelsea penalty zone, it is difficult to climb.


    It is conceivable that the number of opponents is twice that of your own, how narrow the passing line will be, and the running space and ball control space are also relatively narrow.


    Even if Alonso came up, this hasn''t improved much, because of the need to maintain a sense of layering offensively.


    Ronaldinho and Cristiano Ronaldo began to try personal breakthroughs. They are on the wing and play relatively well, but Chelsea are also smart and will not rashly defend the wing.


    On the sidewalk outside the penalty area, how do they break through, whatever!


    But if you want to cut in or hit the middle, you can''t succeed!


    Ronaldinho made two attempts to disturb the opponent''s defensive system, both of which were successfully caught by the opponent to prevent the ball!


    There are too many defenders at the front of Chelsea''s penalty area. This encircling circle is very three-dimensional.


    In the 19th minute of the game, Ronaldinho tried to make a breakthrough from the left side to the middle road. His condition today is very general. He just got rid of Essien, but the ball was not controlled by him. Barack looked back at the timing to cut into Ronaldinho Cut the ball in front of you, and then immediately split the ball.


    Ferreira stepped forward to control the ball, and Chelsea''s two full-backs will still not take the initiative to attack, but only undertake the wing response task in the counterattack.


    Ferreira dribble advanced two steps, while Robben moved forward to find the free time, Ferreira passed the ball to Robben in the frontcourt.


    Peter Pan turned around with the ball, deftly drove the ball past Alonso''s snatch, and continued striding meteor forward to take the ball away.


    De Rossi''s monogamy was not going to grab the ball under Robben''s foot, but steadily slowed down the opponent''s rhythm.


    But Robben also unconventionally not dribbling forward, but laterally dribbling, which is the most commonly used trick by Millwall this season to disrupt the opponent''s defense with the player''s personal ability.


    Robben shook the angle, Drogba ran forward, Nesta and Silvati defended Drogba, Schneider was in the penalty area waiting for Robben to attack.


    Robben, who has long been criticized by the media for playing football too many times, found himself shooting from a long distance!


    To be honest, the shooting angle is not big!


    But the ball flew from the area between Schneider and Nesta to the center of the goal!


    It seems that this is not a shot that will make fans of mad lions worry. The power is quite large, but the angle is a bit positive.


    The visual observation is just slightly above the left side of Bout''s body.


    However, at the moment Bout received the ball, Aldridge''s pupils on the sidelines shrank.


    boom!


    Bute reacted like a ball flying to his eyes, but raised his hand to block the ball!


    The ball rebounded in the penalty area!


    After a second, the ball flew to the goal again!


    Straight into the net nest!


    Chelsea forward Drogba roared and ran along the sidelines!


    There was a blue ripple in the stands. It was Chelsea''s blue, not Millwall''s blue.


    "Wow! Millwall goalkeeper Bout made a big mistake! This ball, this ball, Robben''s long-range power, the ball is very fast, it is a shot that is not too arc, but Bout makes a mistake. It was obvious that when the ball came, his body was tilted in the wrong direction, and then he realized that his judgment was wrong and blocked the ball in a hurry. As a result, Drogba followed Star and Silva shot the ball into the goal before! Chelsea lead Millwall 1:0!"


    Perhaps the madman Mourinho has been in London, and until today, until this moment, he has completely released the passion that suppressed his heart!


    He grimaced with his fist in his right hand, and his sharp eyes seemed to devour everything!


    Aldridge still held his chin, his expression unchanged, although his eyes were actually a little angry.


    Bout!


    Maybe it''s really impossible to stick to the starting goalkeeper position of Millwall, a super giant.


    Perhaps it was the battle with Liverpool a few days ago that caused him to concentrate too much, but today he cannot recover.


    It is no exaggeration to say that the role that most tests attention and patience is the goalkeeper.


    Long-term mental tension and high concentration of attention are also a huge consumption.


    But at this moment, Aldridge could not reveal half of his complaint to Bout.


    That will only make Bout''s next play worse!


    On Millwall''s bench, there is only one Palyuka who will officially retire after today''s game!


    But Bout wasn¡¯t paying attention, but he had made a mistake between electro-optical flint and he knew what happened at that moment.


    The first is that Robben suddenly took a long shot, which was an unexpected and unexpected.


    Secondly, in the area of ??Robben''s long-range shot, Robben took the cross from the right side of the front field to the left side, and then used his left foot to shoot long.


    In this area, it should deal with long shots. However, any arc that is played should be a spin on the left side of the goal, because most players are right-footed players.


    However, Robben was a left-footed player, and the inside spin he made was to the right of the goal!


    Butte¡¯s first move was that he did not judge the direction of the ball¡¯s accurate rotation. In addition to the fast speed of the ball, when the reaction came, he could only reach out to block, but not catch.


    Fortunately, there is still plenty of time left for Millwall. Although the first goal was dropped, Millwall players were not affected in the slightest. They were ready to kick off when the Chelsea team was still celebrating.


    Aldridge gestured on the sidelines, allowing the two full-backs to step forward to support the response more.


    Millwall must increase the midfield response point!


    Mourinho stooped and yelled at the team on the sidelines to let them wake up with twelve points of spirit. Don''t relax your vigilance because the score is ahead!


    At this moment, the Chelsea crowds have united their ambitions and firmly implemented Mourinho''s tactics. They firmly believe that today is a day to break the tradition!


    Yes, in the view of Chelsea, losing to Millwall, Millwall ruled England, dominated Europe, and sitting high on the throne is already a tradition!


    The vigorous Chelsea crowd will have firm eyes and will create a new European football pattern!


    First of all, it is the killer!


    Will Millwall sit idly by?


    Their fighting spirit broke out. After re-kick-off, the players strengthened their running and became even more unwilling in their physical confrontation. It seemed that a male lion started to run wild and gave a roaring roar!


    On courage, Millwall certainly will not lose to Chelsea.


    But Aldridge frowned deeper and deeper on the sidelines.


    To break Chelsea''s defensive barriers, break their bus array.


    Courage is not enough!

 Chapter 1168： The most difficult situation

    Millwall has not faced such a densely defended team, and even the opponents gave up the offense and all retreated to the scene of defensive swings inside and outside the penalty area. They also encountered.


    However, this is not a comparison of defensive numbers, but defensive quality!


    Most teams with coaches are underdogs, and the strong teams still have to be a little bit face.


    So those weak teams with big buses do not have players like Makelele, Essien, Barack, Lampard.


    Chelsea said today that it is 442, a detailed score, more like 4312.


    Only the defensive system is very similar to the 4321 when Aldridge led England to win the World Cup.


    But in terms of defensive quality, Chelsea is now stronger than the England team that year!


    At that time, the four main players of the England team were defensive players: Bart, Beckham, Lampard, Scholes.


    Compared with today''s Chelsea midfielder four team, one-on-one defense, Chelsea players won steadily!


    Coupled with the tacit understanding between the club players, the effect of the combination of the defender line system is expanded. Chelsea''s defense is tough and solid, and it does not come out of thin air.


    How to predict the formation of opponents before the game, it is always necessary to observe when the game starts.


    Aldrich''s on-the-spot command is rarely rushed to make decisions. As the coach, he needs to gather information, read the game to gain insight into his opponents, and also observe his team''s status.


    It has been 10 minutes since Chelsea scored, and Millwall, despite overwhelming half-hearted attack, was always unable to successfully push the attack into the opponent''s dangerous zone.


    Too many people!


    Too dense.


    Henry had nothing to do, and it was difficult to catch the ball. Ronaldinho and Ronaldo were also restricted to break through on the wing.


    Aldrich thought attentively, his brain was running fast, flat, three-dimensional, and even habitually to create a global view overlooking the sky and capture the details on the court.


    Chelsea''s counterattack is becoming more and more threatening, and it is related to Millwall''s aggressive attack.


    This is also the normal situation on the football field. If the offense cannot be scored, the team will subconsciously accumulate the number of offenses, even if they themselves do not realize that there will be more and more players attacking together at the same time. After all, there may be In addition to the central defender and goalkeeper, most of the other players are not purely defensive, but only the offensive enthusiasm. The number of forward activities is different from the number of times. For some teams with unique play styles, the central defender will also participate in positional battles. attack.


    After 35 minutes of the game, Aldridge frowned and pondered. He collected enough information, and now he had to sort it out, and then figured out the way to deal with it, so that the team could make a significant change in the scene.


    The current advantage of the scene is false, but it seems that Millwall is in possession of the ball, but can not advance the attack to a dangerous zone, then this advantage is an illusion.


    While he was pondering, Chelsea hit another counterattack. Ronaldo was cutting in on the right and was blocked by Ashley Cole. It was clear that Ronaldo was also anxious.


    Ashley Cole made a short pass with Terry after stealing the ball. He pulled away to the side and then passed the ball forward.


    Lampard received the ball in the midfield area and turned around, before Alonso and Kaka grabbed the ball and crossed the ball to the right.


    Robben stopped here and then went to the middle again. In order to avoid his long shot again, De Rossi moved forward two steps to expand the defensive area. If necessary, he would take the initiative to step forward and intercept.


    Robben passed this time in advance!


    His passing ball was passed to the outer area of ??the small penalty area inside the penalty area. Drogba took the lead between Nesta and Silva.


    At this time, Bout attacked!


    If Drogba is heading for a goal, he has no chance!


    But he just took the lead and stood back against Millwall''s goal, relying on his strong body to take the lead, and headed back when the ball fell!


    Bout didn''t hit the ball when he attacked, Drogba''s ball back out of the penalty area.


    De Rossi shoveled out as he gritted his teeth to chase the ball, he had to do it!


    Because on the route where the ball bounced back, there was a Chelsea player who was catching up quickly, and it seemed to be a long shot!


    De Rossi''s tackle is not to rush, but to block the far-ray path and block the ball!


    The Chelsea players who rushed up did not shoot long, but instead dunked the ball laterally.


    De Rossi almost slipped from the front half of the ball, his eyes full of shock and fear!


    After the other side detained De Rossi, the shovel came and shot with a kick!


    The ball dangled towards Millwall''s goal, but Bout went back after the attack and couldn''t catch it!


    The ball slowly fell into the goal!


    There was a shocking scene at the France Stadium.


    Millwall fans were stunned in the stands. If they were struck by a sunny day, they didn¡¯t believe the sight at all!


    Chelsea fans are crazy like magic, jumping up and down the stands as if a riot is brewing!


    Mourinho rushed out of the coach''s seat and slid into the court with his knees. His arms continued to vibrate on both sides of the body. There was no smile on his face, but it was a kind of daunting after years of grievances and finally turning over!


    "Balak scored Chelsea''s second goal! He calmly controlled the ball in front of the penalty area and deceived De Rossi who shoveled to block his long shot, but Bout made another major mistake! His attack was too rash Well, Barak was given a chance to shoot the goal! But from Chelsea¡¯s point of view, the goal was wonderful and the counterattack was amazingly fast! Three passes and two passes pushed the offense to the frontcourt, simple play, But received the best return! 2:0, Chelsea are moving towards their first Champions League championship in history!"


    It''s nothing to fall behind by one goal, and two goals behind, it''s nothing at ordinary times.


    But on the stage of the Champions League, Millwall players can''t help but panic!


    Before the game, everyone knew that this was Millwall''s second chance to win three consecutive Champions League titles and an unprecedented chance for the Champions League seven crown to come to the Lion King Stadium.


    This is positive, but it is also an invisible pressure!


    They looked subconsciously to the sidelines and set their sights on the man who gave the team the soul and flesh: Aldridge.


    Butt was ashamed. The first goal lost made him very blameful and unavoidably nervous. He had no excuse for making a mistake this time.


    But when everyone turned their eyes to Aldridge, they saw that their heads were still standing on the sidelines, holding their chins up and holding their chins, and their expressions were unhurried. He raised his left hand and made a downward pressure, slowly. An action, as if it had invisible power, dispelled the panic and nervousness of the players!


    Then, Aldridge made another gesture, a gesture of tactical change.


    The offense is reduced!


    The team changed from offensive to balanced.


    The players were puzzled.


    Aldridge looks chaotic, but why did the team retreat when the team needed to score the most? Isn''t it even more impossible to score?


    They have doubts, but they will not disobey Aldrich''s orders.


    What the boss said, just do it.


    Aldrich has his own considerations.


    Chelsea''s team morale is now strong, plus it will end in less than 10 minutes in the first half. If Millwall is attacked more aggressively, Chelsea may be scored by counterattack before the end of work. ball!


    If the third goal is lost, Millwall''s Champions League final may be completely out of play.


    Aldridge mocked Chelsea on many occasions and ignored Mourinho, but it does not mean that he denied the strength of Chelsea.


    Moreover, utilitarians like Mourinho expect Chelsea to take the initiative when they lead, which is not realistic at all. Reference to them will kill time by one goal in the league. It really makes them three goals ahead. Chelsea may not only Will delay the time, and will use lying grass tactics.


    The Millwall fans in the stands issued a passionate cheer after a brief silence.


    In the most difficult moment of the team, they want to play the role of the team''s 12th person!


    Mourinho and Chelsea players did not expect that Millwall actually fell behind two goals, instead of investing more in the offense, but based on control, slowly attacking, patiently looking for opportunities, without obvious emptiness, he would not penetrate the danger. zone.


    To be honest, Mourinho really wanted to take advantage of Millwall''s brain fever to rush to equalize the score and let Chelsea add one more person in the counterattack!


    It can be seen that Millwall controlled the game so much that he didn''t rush into the offense, he immediately dismissed the idea.


    The advantage of 2 goals is an advantage that is difficult for all teams in Europe against Millwall!


    Throughout the first half, Chelsea''s defense was very successful. Mourinho believes that as long as such tactics are adhered to, Chelsea can limit Millwall''s goals in 90 minutes and then win the supreme big ear cup!


    "At the end of the first half of the game, the trend of this Champions League peak was unexpected. Chelsea led the defending champion Millwall with a goal of Drogba and Barack 2:0. On the scene, Millwall did not have much. The threatening shot, Chelsea''s targeted restriction on Millwall was very successful today. If this situation is maintained, it may be difficult for Millwall to equalize the score."


    Aldridge turned his head toward the player channel when the midfield whistle sounded. He didn''t go to the locker room for the first time. He planned to give the players some time to calm down and adjust their mentality.


    The coaching staff came to Aldridge with a sad face. Aldridge just lit a cigarette and spit out a smoke.


    Boas frowned, whispering: "Audridge, this game reminds me of the World Cup four years ago."


    Aldridge raised his eyebrows: "England fights Brazil?"


    Boas nodded and said, "Chelsea is like England at that time, and we are like Brazil."


    Blanco interjected: "On offense, we are stronger than Brazil."


    Boas shook his head and said: "On the defensive ability, Chelsea is stronger than England at that time, obviously stronger! England at that time can only limit Brazil through fouls, and Brazil only changes the pace of the game through personal ability. They don¡¯t even have a midfield commander, a very good organizer. Their midfield is just a step-by-step excessive, and our offensive configuration is more reasonable and rich in play, but in the frontcourt is limited to death, even a few No profitable foul can be earned."


    The coaching staff were silent.


    Aldridge finished smoking, throwing cigarette butts into the trash can and striding towards the locker room.


    "Eh, Aldridge, what shall we do in the second half?"


    Aldrich turned his head and smiled: "Football is a competitive and adventurous sport, what else can we do? Take a risk."

 Chapter 1169： Final vision

    The atmosphere in Millwall''s locker room is not like the backwaters of a traumatic attack.


    Now the critics who are paying attention to this game may be talking about Bout''s poor performance in the first half.


    In fact, in the Millwall locker room, there may be players who are dissatisfied, but it can be complained that teammates are not allowed in the locker room. Criticism and complaints may only be separated by a line, but this degree, Millwall has always grasped very well it is good.


    Taking a step back, Bout is performing badly, because both goals are related to him.


    But are other players not liable?


    You know, Millwall didn¡¯t score in the first half, and he didn¡¯t even hit several threatening offenses. This was not normal in itself. To complain, Millwall¡¯s attack group, Ronaldinho must bear the brunt of the blame. Other players did not perform well in the first half.


    Will complaining and blaming each other make things better?


    will not!


    The team needs mutual encouragement and support to keep the morale of the team on a passionate level.


    As the captain, De Rossi¡¯s thinking is very clear at this time. How should the team play and how can the opponent be reversed to win the game. This technical and tactical link is not what he should worry about. The coaching team is responsible, but as the captain, he To encourage the morale of the team.


    Therefore, when Aldridge and the coach pushed in, they saw the scene that they thought they had gone to the wrong room, as if they had walked into the Chelsea locker room with high morale.


    De Rossi was standing among his teammates, his majestic look shouted at his teammates a little bit fiercely: "Who is the king of Europe?"


    Millwall players standing around him shouted in unison: "Crazy lion!"


    "Who is determined to rewrite the history of the Champions League! Go to be the first in that history?"


    "It''s our crazy lion!"


    "Will our fighting spirit lose to Chelsea?"


    "will not!"


    "Are we afraid of Chelsea?"


    "Do not!"


    "We are going to play Chelsea full of teeth in the second half, don''t we?"


    "Yes!"


    "We will win, we will win the **** club''s seventh Champions League trophy! Right?"


    "Correct!"


    "I am proud of me, I am proud of you, because we are?"


    "Crazy Lion! Crazy Lion! Crazy Lion!"


    After the captain took the lead to boost morale, Millwall players in the locker room were already full of emotion, and the morale blow brought by two goals behind was well dispelled.


    At this time De Rossi returned to his seat and stood still, the players of the team stared at Aldridge with a dazzling look.


    How to turn over, of course, must listen carefully to Aldridge''s deployment.


    When Aldridge came in front of the players, Boas and Stella Maggioni also moved a tactical board behind Aldridge.


    "0:2 behind, it looks a bit bad. Chelsea played very well today. Their progress over the past is that they not only tried their best to defend, but also used a very smart way to contain us. However, today I want to prove one In fact, I always say to you, you are not the best self, you still have the potential, maybe for a long time in the past, some of you have felt that I was lying, you are already the best self. Today, yes It¡¯s time for me to honor this sentence because you guys can be stronger!"


    Aldridge''s expression is not nervous, and a calm gesture injects more confidence into the team.


    The tactical board behind him marked the approximate formation of the first half and the running lines of the two sides, and then began to explain to the players why they did not play in the first half, or explain to them the Chelsea "smart way" What is it.


    Compared to the past, Chelsea is more focused on midfield defense, reducing a winger and strengthening a midfielder. Then, they will have a superior number of midfielders, plus the four backs themselves will have a number of advantages over Millwall¡¯s trident. At the same time, the double forwards defended the position and compressed the defensive space, making Chelsea''s halftime not only a solid fortress, but also a perfect cut of Millwall''s offensive formation during the execution of defensive tactics!


    So Henry will have almost no performance in the first half, and he has touched the ball poorly.


    So Ronaldinho or Ronaldinho, even if one can make a breakthrough, he will be trapped in isolation.


    The fundamental reason is that Millwall''s formation has been cut to pieces. The closer to Chelsea''s penalty area, the more difficult it is to connect with his teammates.


    Aldridge must let the players understand the roots of the failure to gain an advantage in the first half.


    Only by understanding these from a global perspective can we improve the measures directionally, and do our best when we listen to Aldridge''s next tactical adjustments.


    "In the second half, we will change the formation."


    Aldrich wiped off the tactical board and redrawn a Millwall formation.


    In this formation.


    Cristiano Ronaldo turned from the right to the left!


    Henry removed the right winger!


    Ronaldinho hit the waist!


    Kaka, pseudo-center!


    The midfield and backcourt remain unchanged.


    If there is no previous explanation from Aldridge, the players may be confused at this time.


    Millwall weakened the center, isn''t it more difficult to get close to the opponent''s goal?


    No, in such cases.


    If Henry continues to be in the center position, he is bound to remain alone in the blockade.


    Or, Millwall added a forward in the penalty area, but where does this added forward move his troops?


    There is no advantage in the midfield itself. If it is weakened, wouldn''t it even have the place of the cone?


    The defender can''t move easily, Chelsea''s threat of counterattack is clear at a glance, and there must be a sufficient number of defensive players.


    Increasing the choice of forwards in the penalty area is not feasible, Aldridge does the opposite, simply not to print the center!


    Ronaldinho''s front waist, Kaka''s pseudo center, the two covering the midfield to the area in front of the penalty area, will increase the control here.


    On their wings, Ronaldo and Ram are on the left, and Henry and Schneider are on the right.


    Behind them, there are Alonso and De Rossi.


    In order to make a comeback, Millwall must first apply the right medicine, which is the penetration of the midfield. The player was cut by the opponent in defense to cut the formation, blocking the contact between teammates.


    This must be improved.


    In fact, this idea, four years ago, when Aldrich reflected on Brazil after the World Cup in the World Cup, he considered the game from the stand of Brazil. The experience he summed up is that the 3R combination with terrifying strength is completely England can be killed in advance through active adjustments.


    It¡¯s just that it¡¯s difficult for Scolari to make that kind of change, because he can¡¯t make the alien Ronaldo retreat from the striker line, support the midfielder, connect with more teammates, or Brazil will not fight alone. The England team obstructed the offense by fouling. When the entire English team retreated, the Brazilian players showed no doubt about their personal strength, but the team''s integrity was obviously eclipsed.


    Today, Millwall encountered the same difficulties as the Brazilian team that year.


    When teammates and teammates can''t connect together, can it only rely on personal ability?


    Will this work?


    Maybe the end is the same as that of Brazil in that year, and it is impossible to score a goal by earning N fouls.


    Another point is the decisive factor for Aldridge to make such a change: now this formation is the ultimate vision of Millwall''s third-generation mad lion!


    It can be said that in the past two years, Millwall has cultivated the core team of the third-generation mad lion with the essence of the second-generation mad lion''s skills and tactics!


    Aldrich has slowly failed to turn this final vision into reality, because two points, first, Ronaldinho is still at its peak. Second, Millwall is missing the last piece of the puzzle: Messi, whose strength crosses the top class!


    Originally, in the middle and later part of the season, Ronaldinho continued to be weak. When the state began to decline, Aldridge has already begun to test such a formation, but it has not been fixed.


    It is undeniable that the stage of sharpening Cristiano Ronaldo reached a critical point this season, he must go to the most suitable position for him, that is the left winger.


    Messi is growing, and now Aldrich has the intention to straighten Messi next season and make him the main force of the right wing. Then, the ultimate vision of this technique and tactics will be completely formed.


    It will be the two Uranus superstars who open the left and right bows for Millwall''s siege. The center weakens and turns into a pseudo center, strengthening the midfield and supporting the scoring ability of the winger. Nearly 30 years of Henry can play next season. Kaka can play, Villa can also be, future Aguero can also.


    Although the change is really helpless, but taking the game situation into account, there is nothing wrong with this adventure.


    Finally, Aldridge concluded: "In the second half, we have to break the opponent''s defensive cutting circle. We have to find each other''s teammates, use quick play, active running to make the ball run, wide range transfer, fast, fastest , Shift faster, let the opponents run with us, and the attention is constantly shifting, and then after they can¡¯t keep up with our rhythm, we can penetrate the opponent¡¯s defense! I have confidence in you, how about you? Have confidence? ?"


    After thoroughly understanding Aldridge''s tactical adjustments, the players looked at each other and nodded to each other and shouted: "Yes!"


    There was a smile on Aldridge''s lips, and he said lightly: "Then let''s go, come up with the character of a mad lion, and victory will belong to us!"


    All Millwall staff walked out of the locker room with great energy.


    They left the locker room earlier than Chelsea players and waited for the start of the second half. It seems that Chelsea also spent a long period of training or adjustments in the locker room during the intermission.


    Aldridge returned to the stadium and found that the stands of the fans were crazy. Some fans were also worried about the fans.


    He spread his hands and made a move to mobilize the atmosphere of the stadium.


    For a moment, the French Stadium, the second half of the game has not started, the crazy lion fans shouted passionately in the stands but shook the sky!


    If you don''t look at the score, you probably think that Mad Lion is leading!


    Mourinho froze for a moment when he walked into the field. He paused and walked to the coach''s bench. He glanced back at Aldridge, his hands clasped.


    Somehow, his expression became dignified.

 Chapter 1170： Because it is Mourinho

    Millwall and Chelsea players returned to the stadium with the same spirit, and the two sides changed sides and fought.


    Mourinho stood on the sidelines and concentrated, he wanted to observe the adjustment made by Millwall in the second half.


    First of all, Chelsea is sure to have undergone a new round of tactical adjustments at midfield, but it cannot completely rely on the content displayed in the first half of the venue as the basis for adjustment.


    Aldridge is a well-known on-the-spot conductor artist. If this layer of factors is not taken into account, Chelsea''s adjustment is likely to have a wrong direction.


    For this reason, Mourinho must have his own "pre-judgment".


    On the one hand, such a pre-judgment is based on the characteristics of the opponent, that is, his understanding of the characteristics of Aldridge¡¯s on-site adjustment, and on the other hand, based on his own experience, he changed to himself, breaking the boat when 0:2. , What should I do?


    Similarly, Aldridge is also concerned about the adjustment of Chelsea in the second half.


    Although Aldridge feels that the possibility of Chelsea''s adjustment is 55, he can''t make a conclusive assertion.


    He was a little afraid in his heart, this fear was Mourinho''s ultimate utilitarianism!


    What if the Chelsea midfielder replaces Robben?


    Replace with a defensive player to further strengthen the defense!


    Drogba''s hard work on the defensive end must be completely higher than Robben, and it can even be said that Robben is a common problem with traditional offensive genius: unwilling to defend.


    For Robbens like this: the best game environment is not as good as other teammates to defend, he just attacked in the frontcourt and played happy.


    But this probability is still relatively low.


    Considering Robben''s excellent performance in the first half, he has contributed to both goals. Mourinho didn''t dare to replace Robben in 45 minutes. It was a forced rebellion against Robben!


    This is the Champions League final!


    And the risk of this substitution is too great, too big to bet with the coach''s life!


    If replacing Robben to strengthen the defense and eventually lose the game, this substitution will destroy Mourinho I''s reputation, and this shame will be accompanied by a lifetime, it will never be wiped out, and he will have a future coaching career. Negative blow beyond imagination.


    Because the stakes are too large, Mourinho can''t even think about it. He can only squeeze all the energy of Chelsea players on the field and invest in the defense as much as possible. As long as he does not lose the ball, the championship trophy will come to Stamford Bridge!


    When the second half of the game only took 3 minutes, Aldridge''s eyes suddenly became sharp on the sidelines, and there was no sign of a grin. Although it was only fleeting, it exposed his inner crazy thoughts at the moment.


    Mourinho!


    why?


    why?


    Why did you make such adjustments?


    On the field, Chelsea strengthened the defense in the penalty area. Makelele''s position was obviously withdrawn and he could support the back line at any time!


    At first glance, Chelsea made the restricted area even tighter.


    In contemporary European football, offense can shape the game situation, such as Millwall, Barcelona''s controlled play, defense can also shape the game situation, such as the English national team coached by Aldridge, Rehagel''s Greece team, Mu Chelsea of ??Rinio, as well as those strong and super stable teams that appear from time to time in Italy, this is actually control, but not the control of the ball, but the control of space!


    Under such a control concept, if the defense zone is absolutely ruled and the opponent does nothing here, then the opponent cannot score goals!


    This is similar to the fact that the opponent who controls the ball can''t get the ball and can''t attack naturally.


    But this adjustment of Chelsea is simply a gift from the snow!


    why?


    What Millwall wants to strengthen is midfield control. Instead, the opponent strengthens the restricted area. It is conceivable that with the balance between them, Millwall will not only restore control of the midfield, but also have the potential to play a dominant role!


    why?


    why?


    Mourinho, why?


    At the end of this crazy thought, Aldridge silently said in his mind: Mourinho, why? Because it is Mourinho!


    At the same time, Mourinho witnessed the situation on the field and observed the change in Millwall''s formation in the second half. He frowned deeply and murmured subconsciously: "How could this be?"


    After Millwall weakened the center, there was no Millwall player in Chelsea''s restricted area during the offensive of positional battles, and even the outside of the restricted area could not see the threat point!


    According to Mourinho''s understanding of Audric''s on-site command.


    At this time, it should be the time to exert the power of changing forward, or, bring the knife guard to advance!


    With such a "non-advance and retreat" style of play, Aldridge has never used it in a backward situation in a key game!


    Chelsea players don''t have much thought on the field, especially the defensive players on the back line, without the marking target, their defense zone is absolutely safe and looks very comfortable.


    But what about in the midfield? It''s another picture.


    Kaka, Ronaldinho, Alonso, De Rossi, plus the full-backs stepped forward, the winger widened the field width, Millwall concentrated on the midfield for a quick and smooth pass, Chelsea players had no chance to touch the ball There is no chance of fouling.


    Lampard, Ballack, Essien, Drogba, these four are the main force in the midfield defense, but they must take care of their respective defense zones. Makelele¡¯s task in the second half is to mark the offensive point that his opponent accidentally inserted. For example, the full-back is inserted diagonally into the penalty area, or the back is inserted forward, so he will not rush out, and Robben mostly defends symbolically. It is understandable that he is a key figure in Chelsea¡¯s attack and defense conversion and counterattack. The first time he ran out of space, the ball was controlled, and then he threatened to counterattack.


    But now, the Chelsea midfielder is completely lost!


    Millwall passes through a dazzling series of fast passes to contain his opponent and interfere with his attention.


    Under such circumstances, Millwall is more likely to have players in small spaces to create opportunities.


    After the opponent''s rhythm couldn''t keep up, Millwall showed the first point of improvement in the first half: the long shot opportunity!


    In the first half, when there is no advantage in the midfield, it is difficult to find opportunities for long-range shots. It is not impossible to make long-range shots, but it will always be interfered or guarded by the opponent.


    Now the ball is running fast, the player runs and tears the space in front of the penalty area, and then passes the ball to the teammate who is temporarily unmarked. The teammate can fully play the long-range strength naturally.


    In the 52nd minute of the game, Ram, Alonso, Kaka, and the three passed the ball in succession. Kaka knocked the ball back after making a false breakthrough in front of Makelele.


    Ronaldinho, who leaned slightly to the left behind him, drove forward, stopped the ball with his right foot, stepped on the step, and shot a high-quality long shot with the foot of the foot!


    He didn''t hit the arc that fell from high altitude, but aimed at the lower left corner of Chelsea goal!


    The ball passed through the gap between Carvalho and Ferreira, then there may be less than one meter of space, but Ronaldinho''s ball shot through from there!


    "Ronaldinho has a long shot! Chelsea''s goal is dangerous! Cech! Cech! Cech makes a limit save and he blocks the ball with a single palm! Oh, oh, OMG! The goal is scored! The goal is scored The ball blocked by Cech slowed down, the ball was in the penalty area, C Ronaldo caught up with the shot and easily kicked the ball into the goal! The referee found that C Ronaldo did not offside, from the slow-motion playback It also confirmed that the referee''s penalty was accurate! C Ronaldo did not offside! Only 8 minutes into the second half, Millwall immediately pulled back a goal!"


    After Ronaldo scored a goal, he directly rushed to the goal goal and held the ball in his arms. He broke away from Chelsea''s encircling circle trying to prolong the time. He left the ball to jog towards the midfield, his right hand pointed to the sky, and his face was determined to be tenacious!


    The crazy lion fans in the stands roared passionately, cheering Ronaldo''s goal, and also proud of Millwall''s fighting spirit!


    Chelsea players are a little bit calm.


    They didn''t understand that obviously the second half was a more defensive defense than the first half, but why did the opponent score a goal?


    Maybe it was bad luck.


    If Cech rushes the ball or blocks the bottom line, Ronaldo will not have a supplementary shot.


    Mourinho looked dignified on the sidelines.


    He knew that this was the role played by Aldridge''s tactical adjustment!


    It''s too obvious!


    It''s too obvious!


    In the first half, and for many years in the past, Millwall had additional shot opportunities in the penalty area, or the focus of the two-point attack, there were different distributions.


    Outside, there are follow-ups from midfielders. The middle of the penalty area is either the center or the midfielder. The right side of the penalty area is the right side. The earliest is Larsen. C Ronaldo has been in the past two years.


    However, following the two points on the left side of the penalty area, Millwall has not done well and is relatively weak.


    Because Ronaldinho played a left winger, he is not a traditional winger, nor is he completely a modern winger. He is like a wing forward, grabbing points, making up shots, and he is rarely responsible for that kind of work, or he sends shells in the periphery Either a personal breakthrough, or even a positive forward in an attack, but make up shots, follow up, grab points, this kind of work is really not Ronaldinho doing.


    However, after Ronaldo moved to the left, his threat to the penalty area and the threat to the goal were different from Ronaldinho at first. Secondly, at two points to follow up, Chelsea players have not been able to adapt to this change.


    2:1 now!


    How to do?


    Mourinho made a gesture on the sidelines, so that the players should not be slack or shaken, and continue to defend!


    Chelsea players should also find that Millwall¡¯s control of the midfield has been horrified, but being scored is like opening a gate filled with wind and blowing their backs to cool and guarding the penalty area. It is the most basic defense. In front of the powerful Millwall, let them rush out of the penalty zone to re-disturb Millwall''s midfield. The players are actually stunned in thinking and looking ahead!


    Mourinho tried not to show anxiety or panic on the sidelines.


    He also constantly comforted himself in his heart and reminded himself.


    Only 2:1, still leading, still leading!


    What if 2:2? So what? !


    From the perspective of the game, Chelsea still has a big advantage!


    The energy to keep fighting!


    Even at 2:2 in 90 minutes, Mourinho firmly believes that in overtime, Chelsea will be able to use this level of advantage to defeat Millwall in one fell swoop.


    Moreover, it is only 2:1 now.


    Panic!

 Chapter 1171： Bloody mad lion

    France Stadium.


    The score on the scoreboard is Chelsea 2:1 Millwall, but many Chelsea fans in the stands became worried.


    Perhaps it is the one-sided disadvantage of past war records.


    Perhaps it was Millwall like a group of undead soldiers.


    Perhaps it was Aldridge that exuded a powerful deterrent from the start to the end.


    This is bound to be a game that has attracted more attention from Audridge. Not because of the level of the game, Millwall reached the Champions League final again. There seems nothing to be fussed about, but Millwall trailed 0-2 in the game. There will definitely be countless media outlets hoping to capture Aldridge¡¯s response.


    Will he panic, will he be angry with Butt?


    Will exaggerated body movements be made?


    The only thing Aldridge showed to the world was calmness and calmness that didn¡¯t change color!


    On the contrary, it is the leading party on the field, Chelsea, their disadvantage on the scene is becoming more and more obvious!


    Millwall achieved the tactical effect of "stepping back to the sea and sky" on the field, while Chelsea began to panic under great pressure.


    The root of the panic is the back line!


    This has not changed in the slightest because of further strengthening the defense.


    Terry and Carvalho, since the beginning of the second half, they feel strange in their hearts, at this moment, has become terrified.


    Originally, they teamed up to block Henry in the first half. They were very successful. If they followed the first half, they would be more confident and calmer in the second half.


    But now, there is no defensive target in the defender area, but let them worry more!


    It is conceivable that in the first half of the defense, the two marked Henry, the full-backs closed in, and Millwall''s attack direction was more predictable.


    Hitting the middle and staring to death at two points before and after is the most critical.


    Henry at the front, Kaka at the back.


    And Henry is all around them, whether Henry wants to run, or wants to run out of the shooting space or grab a point, the distance is close, visible, defensive in time, there will be no trouble, and as long as Kaka is not close to the restricted area, whether it is Ronaldinho Kaka, or Ram, Schneider, if they pass the ball to Henry, the time left for the guard to react is barely ample, and Terry and Carvalho have the bottom of the defense on defense.


    But Henry went to the right in the second half, and Millwall had no one in the center for a long time!


    What should Terry and Carvalho do?


    Step forward? What about the space behind? Is a central defender responsible for the two-person area?


    Don''t step forward, waiting for opponents to shock?


    Well, with Millwall''s continuous cross-transfers in front of their eyes, the players were dazzled by the running position, and the two didn''t even know how to mark people!


    Henry on the right, Cristiano Ronaldo on the left, Ronaldinho and Kaka who can''t tell the position from the staggered front waist area.


    It''s just that these four people cover all angles of attack!


    It''s too difficult to predict.


    Is it a guise when a Millwall player runs into the penalty area? Is it a cover?


    If you go to assist defense, will you reveal the defensive flaws elsewhere?


    It must be admitted that, whether it is Ronaldo or Henry, when cutting in from the side, after the speed rushes, the full-back can''t stop it! The central defender must devote his energy to assist in defense!


    In the first half, the two central defenders coordinated, one assisted defense, one stared at Henry, at the same time, the midfielder closed in, blocked Kaka''s line, plus Ronaldinho on the other side, it was not a pure winger, Ferreira The impact on the side of the adduction is small. In the second half, the defensive pressure is fully upgraded.


    After Millwall scored a goal, Aldridge conveyed instructions to the team: strengthen the long shot!


    On the one hand is to intimidate Chelsea''s defensive system, on the other hand is to reduce the opponent''s chance of counterattack.


    Long shots and offensive points are all in the periphery. When turning from offense to defense, the starting position of defense will not be too far from your own half. Millwall can quickly cut the connection between the opponent''s offensive players.


    From 55 minutes to 70 minutes, Millwall hit 8 long shots in a row, some hit the goal range, some hit the fly, the effect is fair, but there is no goal to appear again.


    After 70 minutes, Aldridge made adjustments.


    In the past 15 minutes, Chelsea''s counterattack has not made any threats, which will frustrate their sharpness!


    At the same time, as time reaches a critical point in the final stage, their offensive consciousness will become lower and lower, and they will try their best to defend their current lead!


    At this time, Millwall can change the style of play and strengthen penetration!


    Seeing that all Chelsea players are defending in their own half, but there is no way to pass Millwall''s pass and control, Chelsea fans feel a little stubborn, but they can not care about this, as long as the game finally wins, as long as they win Now, what is the disadvantage of the current scene?


    Mourinho also faced a choice on the sidelines, he was considering whether to replace Robben to strengthen the defense.


    Just when he made up his mind to further strengthen the defense, the situation on the field changed suddenly!


    Ram suddenly started a fast forward from the midfield, Alonso received Ronaldinho''s back pass and accurately divided the ball to the side. Ram hurried to the inside line and fought with Essien in Ferreira. When he was, Ronaldo crossed the middle from the outside and passed by Ram, who also pushed the ball gently to Ronaldo''s feet.


    Barak rushed over to intercept Ronaldo''s lateral movement, but Ronaldo stopped the ball and turned his back to the penalty area, passing the ball back to Ronaldinho''s feet!


    After the pass, Cristiano Ronaldo moved forward, Barak followed suit, and Carvalho was distracted. At the moment, Ronaldinho kicked the ball and the ball back to Alonso.


    But Alonso rushed forward, his forward got rid of Drogba''s interference, Ronaldinho also rushed forward after passing the ball, Makelele had to follow him back, but the moment Ronaldinho started, Kaka and him Start synchronously!


    The two seem to rush towards the middle of the restricted area together, overlapping!


    But when he came to Terry, Kaka keenly grasped the direction in which Terry''s center of gravity moved. It was Ronaldinho!


    Terry was the most vigilant for the first time, or Ronaldinho!


    Kaka immediately ran and changed direction, slanting toward the right side of the penalty area!


    Almost at the same moment, Alonso did not face off with Lampard head-on, a precise straight plug was sent out, Lampard tried to stretch his foot to block, but the stretched foot slowed down a bit, and at the same time he looked back, Seeing the far end of the ball rolling in horror, it was a Millwall player ready to respond!


    Kaka!


    Makelele quickly moved to intercept, but he was blocked by Ronaldinho and Terry.


    Terry gritted his teeth and stopped to turn to defend Kaka, almost breaking his waist!


    But there is still no way, because he didn''t expect Kaka to touch the ball at the moment, he actually took the ball to the bottom line and took another step!


    This should never be the case!


    Take it to the bottom line again, no shot angle!


    Kaka stepped on the line of the small penalty area, very close to the goal, and the angle was also very small, approximately zero angle!


    He must make a choice, whether to shoot or pass.


    If you pass the ball, the middle road Makelele is close to Ronaldinho. It is impossible to pass the ball to Ronaldinho''s feet. Although Ronaldo made an outswing, but the distance is too close and the ball can''t get up, it will definitely be interfered by the goalkeeper.


    Kaka shot with a determined look!


    Approximately zero angle!


    Cech, as a world-class goalkeeper, did not make any mistakes in his choice at this time, and tried his best to block the near corner of the goal.


    boom!


    Kaka shot is complete!


    Less than 5 meters from the goal, he actually chose to bombard the goal!


    The ball left the ground and flew to the goal diagonally from bottom to top!


    The speed of the ball is amazing!


    Like a meteor!


    Blink away!


    Cech maintained the action of preparing to save. When he made a physical response, he only felt the wind blowing in his ears, and his heart was not good. He secretly called: finished!


    when!


    Buzz!


    The ball hit the lower edge of the beam near the goal post and bounced into the goal!


    Cech crashed to the ground, as if completely defeated by Kaka''s goal.


    He can''t help it!


    No way at all!


    At such a short distance, the ball ran across his face and hit the goalpost with a loud sound that caused his eardrum to buzz. This kind of ball, he can only rely on pre-judgment, he wants to wait for his eyes to see the ball Again, the daylily is cold!


    But his prediction is that Kaka will hit the road. He is ready to lower the center of gravity and use his body to block. He never expected that Kaka did not choose to shoot the ball safely within the goal range, but risked to fly. Danger and chose to hit the corner!


    The requirements for footwork are much higher!


    At the France Stadium, fans of the lion collective collectively roared in shock!


    The mad lion is not dead. Even if the mad lion is bloody, he also crawled back from hell!


    Kaka saw the goal after the shot, closed his eyes and ran into the corner flag zone obliviously, sweat was floating in the air, this handsome and energetic Brazilian boy became a lion hero at this moment, and he ran at this time The pictures of the words with closed eyes and **** in the mouth will become classics!


    Teammates chased Kaka''s figure frantically, threw him down in the corner flag area, laughed wildly together, and roared together.


    Aldridge laughed loudly on the sidelines. After a while, he was picked up by Stella Maggioni, who rushed out of the coach seat. Boas rushed out and jumped his fists. Blanco slightly implicitly. Looking down and applauding, Millwall''s bench players all rushed to the corner area to participate in the celebration of the players on the court.


    Chelsea players on the field are already under pressure.


    2: 0 to 2:2.


    In the end, what went wrong?


    Why can''t the counterattack in the first half be played in the second half?


    Did you relax your vigilance?


    Do not!


    impossible!


    Faced with any team''s 2:0 lead, it is possible to relax, but the only way to face Millwall, don''t **** say 2:0, is 20:0, and will never be relaxed!


    Never!


    Is it really too conservative? Is it true that utilitarianism has been punished?


    I don¡¯t know, I don¡¯t know, I don¡¯t know...


    Will it be scored the third goal?


    Will it?


    What should I do? How to do?


    Although Mourinho tried his best to stay calm on the sidelines, he still had trouble concealing his several swallowing movements, which exposed his inner tension!

 Chapter 1172： Give it another try!

    "OMG! OMG! Kaka, Super Kaka! Listen, the Lions fans chanted Kaka''s name in unison in the French Stadium! The card has been steadily improving every season since joining Millwall Card strength has reached a height that everyone can recognize. He is a coveted midfielder from all over Europe. Undoubtedly, in today''s scene, he can score such a classic goal and break the goal at zero angle! Violent volley shot at zero angle! We don¡¯t have to doubt that another football superstar was born in Millwall!"


    "The game has undergone a dramatic change. After Kaka broke the goal, the scoreboard changed to 2:2. Chelsea''s two-ball lead advantage in the first half disappeared in the 73rd minute of the second half. The game seemed to have returned. The origin, but, observing the morale and team status of the two teams at this time, there is no doubt that the later Millwall is more dominant! What should Chelsea do? From the beginning of the game, Chelsea was very conservative, and in the second half, they barely attacked , Conservative and speechless, which made them pay the price, constantly attacked and attacked by Millwall, and finally the city gate fell twice, burying the first half of the effort! How will Mourinho choose? Continue to keep conservative? The question now is that simple defense may prevent them from losing the ball, but their counterattack seems to be declining. If they can¡¯t score, how can Chelsea win the Champions League final? Is it a penalty shootout?"


    In the VIP box, Chelsea club officials looked grim, while Abu was numb.


    To be honest, in addition to scoring Chelsea, at other times, he could not mention the desire to applaud the team.


    Too conservative.


    To describe it from a layman''s perspective: it is ugly!


    This is exactly the extreme opposite of the fantasy team he originally envisioned, romantic football!


    To describe it in the media, Abu fell in love with football because he watched Millwall and La Liga, and Real Madrid and Manchester United scored a goal battle. That kind of fierce attack, brilliant, and rhythmic sense of rhythm made people forget the time. Passing away, completely immersed in the most beautiful picture of football, but by no means went to Italy to watch a game of extreme defensive utilitarian interest in football.


    Mourinho made a gesture immediately on the sidelines and tried his best to "appease" the Chelsea generals who had lost some souls at this moment, let them cheer up, and then continue to defend!


    In the 90-minute game, there are about 15 minutes.


    Mourinho inserted his hand in his pocket just to cover up his slightly trembling hands.


    Heartbeat thundering, thumping.


    Mourinho kept telling himself: there is still a chance! There is still a chance! Can''t lose at this time! Can not give up!


    In the first half, Chelsea was confident.


    In the second half, Chelsea was ruled by Millwall and lost the ball after the midfield.


    However, in terms of overall strategy, Mourinho firmly believes that Chelsea has another advantage that has not been activated, but that advantage needs to wait for a time node!


    The 90-minute game is over!


    Now the morale of Millwall players is greatly improved, and the decline in physical fitness is not obvious. Originally, a 90-minute game started at about 75 minutes, that is, the player''s physical fitness reached a critical point, and for the game of peak matchups, physical energy consumption will be higher than usual. More!


    When the tipping point arrives, players need to use strong will, tenacious fighting spirit, desire to win and other internal qualities to force the mobilization of physical fitness, so that they can continue to persevere!


    The high-end team scored more goals than the ordinary team after 75 minutes, and reversed the game more. A big factor is that after 75 minutes, the inner quality of the players is more powerful than the ordinary team!


    Chelsea has a physical advantage, but this advantage is reflected in endurance, that is to say, it is impossible for Millwall to lag behind Chelsea as soon as the team starts running. In that case, Millwall has already finished.


    Only when a critical point of physical fitness comes, this advantage will be very obvious!


    Millwall will be physically weaker than Chelsea!


    If Millwall is an ordinary team, about 75 minutes is when this time comes.


    But Millwall''s championship temperament, the team''s strong fighting will, and the encouragement from behind to equalize the score, will make them not so quickly decline in physical fitness, but will go all out until the end of the 90-minute game!


    Why Mourinho hopes the team will keep the draw until the end of 90 minutes, hold on!


    Physical superiority is the root, and at the same time, it is very similar to the strategy used by Aldridge to lead England and Brazil.


    It is conceivable that at the end of the 90-minute game, the players will have to stop, it seems to be a rest, a buffer, and should be able to restore physical fitness.


    However, the excitement of the body declines rapidly, from excitement to calmness, and if you want to restore the excitement again, it will become very difficult when the physical fitness is subsequently weak.


    At the same time, through this kind of rest time, it is also to disrupt the tacit rhythm of the Millwall team, that is, the rhythm is zero!


    When playing Brazil in that year, England''s deadlock reached the end of 90 minutes, making Brazil entering overtime need to find the team''s tacit rhythm and seize the opportunity to strike a fatal counterattack!


    Today''s Chelsea, under the assumption of Mourinho, he also needs such a situation!


    As long as it enters overtime, Chelsea''s advantage will be unprecedented. By then, Mourinho is ready to surprise Millwall. Chelsea will fully launch an offensive and subvert the mad lion''s rule with a destructive rhythm of running!


    After Millwall equalized the score and restarted, it was still Millwall who ruled the midfield for a positional offensive. Chelsea really withdrew this time.


    No matter how happy Robben is, he has to retract to defend, and he doesn''t want to pass his teammates and the Champions League trophy!


    Aldridge continued to observe the situation on the sidelines.


    Chelsea rounded the goal round and round, and began to have unsightly fouls on the perimeter, such as Robben''s blatant pull, Drogba never rushed the ball and darkly ran into the opponent.


    Aldridge looked down at the time on his watch, and combined with the time on the scoreboard, 80 minutes had passed.


    Boas came up from the back and asked if Aldridge wanted to replace him. Aldridge did not make a decision, but just let the players on the bench continue to warm up. At 60 minutes in the second half, the bench players went to warm up once.


    In preparing for the game before the game, Millwall naturally analyzed what are the advantages of Chelsea.


    Mourinho was able to focus on overtime.


    How could Aldridge ignore this key point?


    If the game really enters overtime, Aldridge will not hesitate to let the team fully retreat to fight back!


    Because of the aggressive attack, the risks are too great to bear!


    But that was only a pre-deployment in preparation for the game. As of now, Aldridge will not consider overtime.


    He couldn''t help turning his head to look at Mourinho not far away. The other party looked very calm, but through in-depth and meticulous observations, it seemed to be able to see that the magic bird was a little panicked at this time.


    Aldridge smiled and said silently: Mourinho, let''s gamble again!


    Through Chelsea''s overall contraction, Aldridge is at least sure that the other party has ideas for overtime. Since the opponent wants overtime, Aldridge certainly can''t make him wish.


    Although even in overtime, Aldridge will adjust his tactics to obliterate Chelsea''s physical advantage, but now, he can still give it a go!


    Taking advantage of the opportunity to take a corner kick in the frontcourt, Aldridge shouted into the court: "Bernd, Bernd! Come on!"


    Schneider trotting to Aldridge before, observing the opponent''s halftime, paying attention to the team''s corner kick, he did not look at Aldridge, just said: "Boss, what is the order?"


    Aldrich said a few words to him and patted his shoulder. Schneider did not go to Aldridge from beginning to end, listen, nod, and trot back.


    After he went back, he conveyed Audrich''s request to De Rossi. At the next moment, Millwall''s offensive end showed a new attack point!


    De Rossi rushed to the front line. Kaka played a counterfeit center in the middle. After dragging the position, De Rossi looked more like a center, but was in front of Kaka, which is in the right area of ??the penalty area.


    In the periphery, Schneider also went up, and outside he mobilized the high-altitude pass and the long-range shooting threat from the outside.


    Millwall''s style of play suddenly changed, becoming high and high!


    Mourinho''s expression has become very nervous at this moment, Chelsea players are scalp numb.


    They weren¡¯t sure that De Rossi got into the penalty zone, and **** was not a **** stick!


    In case De Rossi just interferes with their defense, Millwall¡¯s uplifting is just an illusion, the real killer is still a delicate penetration, then their defensive focus will be wrong!


    Under such circumstances, Chelsea players are even more flustered. They frequently make big shots. It is impossible to fight back. It seems that they are going to hold the draw and enter overtime!


    Time passed by one minute and one second, the atmosphere of the game became more and more tense, fouls on the court continued, and both anti-reverse players were present.


    It''s just that even if Chelsea get the set ball, the overall formation is not forward. Before the counterattack will invest 3 people. Now when the set ball can attack forward, only Drogba and Robben step forward, Nesta, Silva Alonso, together with the full-backs defense, Chelsea''s offense will be directly strangled after halftime, and Peter Pan Robben is also not working.


    For the Chelsea defending posture, France Stadium booed at the end of the game.


    These boos do not come from fans, because fans are already accustomed to playing like Chelsea. They despise them so much that they are too lazy to boo their opponents. It is better to cheer on their beloved team than to boo their opponents.


    The boos are from neutral fans, and of course there are a lot of neutral fans who come to watch this Champions League battle.


    The time on the scoreboard cheered among the fans on the court, shouting, singing, and booing.


    89:58!


    89:59!


    90: 00!


    The score is still 2:2!

 Chapter 1173： Superstar Yao Shi

    "This season, the Champions League final has passed 90 minutes, and now enters injury stoppage time, the fourth official''s stoppage time is 3 minutes, maybe extra time will come soon, we see Millwall and Chelsea''s substitute The players are warming up, the substitutes of both teams are available, and even decide the heavyweight players of the game, Chelsea, Shevchenko, Crespo, Joe Cole, etc. will be warming up, Millwall Bender Nedved, Larson, Messi and others are also warming up, it seems that the two coaches are already preparing for overtime, uh, wait, wait a minute! Sir Hall gestured! What is this Meaning? Is it going to be overwhelmed by the whole army? Really?"


    Aldridge showed a wild expression on the sidelines after the first 30 seconds of injury stoppage time. His right hand waved sharply, and the direction of his right hand was fixed. It was Chelsea''s halftime. At the same time, he roared loudly in the mouth Said: "Lion of Millwall! I am proud of you! Now is the time for you to make all Millwall people proud! Punch me! Punch me! Let the mad lion run into the myth! Make the mad lion Set foot on the throne of glory in history!"


    At this moment, many live broadcast stations locked Aldridge on the sidelines, and the radio equipment also captured the words that Aldridge roared. Of course, he tried his best to pass his words into the stadium!


    Mourinho''s pupils shrunk not far away, looking at Aldridge in shock.


    mad Men?


    In the end, who is the madman!


    At this moment, Aldrich''s words, if they cannot be fulfilled, may be laughed at for a lifetime.


    He has done a lot of such adventures!


    But it is this kind of disregard for the outside world, which ignores the passionate command of personal honor and disgrace, and is more capable of infecting people''s hearts and inspiring them to advance with their heads raised!


    Mourinho couldn''t calm down. Looking at Millwall''s unusual offensive posture on the field, he also constantly waved his arms towards his own half, which is exactly the penalty zone!


    "Defense! The whole team is defending! Compress the space and control the dangerous area! You can''t let Millwall attack into the penalty area! The whole team defends me! Keep it!"


    But Mourinho had just shouted these words, and he stood on the spot himself, stunned, and his heart fell like an ice cellar!


    Damn it!


    wrong!


    Completely wrong!


    He should not be affected by Aldrich!


    It shouldn''t be!


    Offensive players can be irrational and rely on blood to rush forward, even if the offensive formation has no rules at all!


    But defensive players are not good!


    Defensive players need absolute calmness!


    Aldridge¡¯s words are not just yelling to Millwall¡¯s players to listen, but falling into the ears of Chelsea players will have a very intuitive impact.


    Let the hearts of Chelsea players tighten, ready to resist the final attack of the crazy lion!


    Mourinho also shouted something.


    Sounds right, defense, defense!


    But the more he emphasizes this, the more he will make the Chelsea players panic!


    Is it not done yet?


    Did the coach see the defensive flaw and remind them?


    Tension, panic, suspicion and other emotions flooded into my mind, and naturally, they would lose their feet!


    However, Millwall players are extremely calm.


    They didn''t rush forward after hearing Aldridge''s words.


    Millwall has never played this game before!


    On the contrary, Aldridge¡¯s shouting, the effect, will only make Millwall¡¯s players pay great attention to the quality of the offensive attack of the last blow. The team cooperates to make the most threatening attack!


    After De Rossi rushed into the Chelsea penalty area, Millwall continued to rush and hang, all looking for De Rossi. Sometimes De Rossi can grab points, sometimes not, but the offense is concentrated on With this, he looks like a column center!


    The area where De Rossi is located is on the right side of the penalty area.


    Millwall''s final blow came from Schneider. Chelsea didn''t seem to dare to spend extra force on the perimeter to do excessive harassment. Schneider brought the ball to the middle and just made a two-on-one cooperation with Alonso Then came to the forty yards away from the goal, at this moment, Alonso also rushed forward, succeeding Alonso to the middle road is Ram!


    Millwall''s two full-backs became a pair in the midfield, and the scene is extremely rare!


    Alonso rushed forward, Schneider passed the ball to Ram, in order to avoid Barak''s defense, Ram pulled himself, and Ram passed the ball back to Schneider. At this time, Millwall Road The players all started and rushed to the Chelsea penalty zone!


    All of Chelsea''s defensive players are facing the enemy. At this moment, the lion soldiers are in the city!


    Schneider did not cross on the wing, because his teammates were not in place yet, Ashley Cole was a little nervous at this time, he went to the penalty area to collect, for fear of Schneider''s cross, but he did not notice Henry Quietly pulled out of the restricted area and ran to the sidewalk.


    Schneider passed straight forward and passed the ball to Henry.


    Ashley Cole was shocked, but he did not dare to go out again, because the running line after Schneider''s pass was the rib of the restricted area. If he leaves, Schneider will respond to Henry''s pass. Will succeed!


    The three players in Millwall Middle Road, Alonso, Kaka, Ronaldinho, all had a clear tendency to rush into the penalty area, and rushed around De Rossi!


    Makelele, Essien, Lampard, and even Drogba are defended in the penalty area. Seeing a group of Millwalls flock to Drossi¡¯s area, I am afraid that the other party¡¯s cross will concentrate on fighting this piece. The ball can''t attack the goal, in case the ball bounces in the penalty area, or simply is a low-level pass to create chaos, if there are many Millwalls in this area, whoever kicks the ball to the goal, Cech can It''s hard to tell if you can''t hold it!


    In addition to the fact that Millwall had been playing De Rossi when he held up high, Chelsea''s main force in this last moment of defense was concentrated in the area near the front of the middle of the front door!


    Henry made a 45-degree cross in the wing area. He looked serious and meticulous. He passed a very fast passing ball and rubbed a very large arc!


    After passing the ball, Henry''s gaze crossed De Rossi, who was at the front, to the more threatening ball drop zone!


    When the ball came out and was flying in the air, the look of all players in the Chelsea penalty area marking De Rossi suddenly changed!


    Taller!


    You can''t touch the ball before!


    At the same time, Alonso and Ronaldinho did not wait to see the result of this passing ball, but immediately withdrew to occupy a favorable position of two points offensive in the periphery, which reflected their excellent tactical awareness and remained in the front area. Kaka and De Rossi, if you really have a chance, do not rely on a large number of people, but control the precise point!


    At this moment, the passing ball bypassed the area in front of the door and began to fall!


    Both Carvalho and Terry came to the defense because De Rossi was flooded with too many Millwall players. At this moment, Terry responded the fastest. He rushed back to fight for the top, but, hastily In between, he saw that the ball was about to fall, but he slipped and fell to the ground in embarrassment!


    At the moment after the goal, when Terry fell to the ground, he still raised his chin and looked up at the falling point of the ball, his eyes became very shocked!


    A figure leaping high, the amazing jumping power and stagnation ability should not be owned by football players!


    Cristiano Ronaldo! ! ! ! !


    Chelsea''s previous worries were correct. De Rossi entered the penalty area to serve as the center''s header. It was indeed not Millwall''s last killer.


    With Aldrich''s current coaching ability, if he is gambling, it is by no means throwing a player such as a midfielder or defender who can control the high point on the front line to try his luck.


    There is still a set of small tactics around this point of change.


    When De Rossi rushed up, Millwall players knew where the real killer was. De Rossi occupied the right side of the penalty area and continued to attract opponents to defend. On the final blow, Kaka, Ronaldinho and Alonso The coordination of the running position, the passing of the ball on the right and the closest to this area, etc. are all inextricably linked!


    Relatively weakening the defense area on the left is Millwall''s ultimate attack point!


    It''s not about seeing who has more people to grab the header!


    But whether it can occupy the ball landing point, and depends on the bounce height and header ability!


    At this moment, in front of Ronaldo, Ferreira was as small as gravel even though he was beside him!


    Barak, who tried his best to return to the penalty area, was only one step away to grab the landing point, but Ronaldo was the first to take off. Moreover, even if Barak took off, I am afraid that Ronaldo could not compete.


    Because at this moment, Ronaldo seems to have inserted his wings. The horrible jumping power and amazing stagnation ability make him attract attention at this moment, just like standing out from the crowd, overlooking the living beings!


    boom!


    Cristiano Ronaldo headers the goal.


    He controlled very well, very well, did not deliberately exert force, because Henry kicked the pass, in order not to give Chelsea more time to adjust and reduce the flight time of the ball, he used a lot of force!


    Ronaldo seems to just refract the ball to ensure that the ball flies to the goal, but even so, the ball speed is still not slow!


    The moment Aldridge saw Ronaldo heading to the goal on the sidelines, he closed his eyes when the ball flew towards the goal. He was sure that no one could stop the ball flying behind the goal. Cech defended It seems that there is something wrong with it, probably there is a direct connection with the teammates collectively rushing forward!


    This ball will definitely enter!


    Time seems to stop at this moment.


    Aldrich, who closed his eyes, was still in his world.


    I seemed to hear that an ancient pulsation oscillated from the depth of the dome of the green world, and the momentum gradually grew stronger, and finally, the earth was shaking!


    I seemed to see that the colorful green world sky, the most shining, the three totems covering the sky occupying the largest layout have changed.


    Millwall.


    royal house Madrid.


    AC Milan.


    The three totems that are in full swing, the totems of Real Madrid and AC Milan are dim and the patterns are gradually shrinking. The totem of the mad lion gradually increases with the huge fluctuations from the shock, and finally covers the entire green world!


    No. 1 in history, no more tied, lion dominates the throne!


    The dim light from the patterns of Real Madrid and AC Milan converged on the starry sky, forming two beams of light, and began to fall rapidly to the ground.


    Like a comet hitting the earth!


    The goal is directed at the stadiums of Europe, France, Paris and France!


    These shining two groups of light turned into beams of light and descended from the air, enveloping two players!


    A bunch of flowers shrouded Kaka.


    A bunch of enveloped Ronaldo was still at the moment finishing the header in the air.


    At the French Stadium, the lion was the first pinnacle in history. Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo joined hands and stepped into the ranks of superstars!


    Shining world!


    Forever history!

 Chapter 1174： Enthroned and crowned!

    "Cristiano Ronaldo!!! What a shocking picture, he jumped in the penalty area of ??Chelsea and scored a goal. At that moment, everyone around him looked small! Will this be a lore? Is there only 1 minute left for injury stoppage time! In 1 minute, does Chelsea have a chance? Is there a chance?"


    "Chelsea''s defense is hard to say what went wrong. Millwall has Chelsea defensive players around all points in the penalty area, but Ferreira is not on the same level as Cristiano Ronaldo, but Cech points from the goal. Moved hurriedly to the goal and missed the goal. It may be a defensive mistake. His position is too close to the goal. Maybe his thinking is affected by the narrow area. There are almost 10 players piled up! Will Cristiano Ronaldo give Millwall the seventh UEFA Champions League trophy for his two goals? Time is running out, the answer will be announced soon!"


    C Ronaldo bounced and landed, turned his head and ran to the direction of the corner flag area. He took off his jersey with a blank expression and ran off. When he came to the side of the court to stop, he held his head and his eyes were dazzling. Sharp, like a **** of war!


    "Cristiano Ronaldo!"


    In the surrounding stands, the fans of the crazy lion were so violent that they almost rushed into the court to embrace Ronaldo.


    They screamed Ronaldinho''s name frantically, losing their sanity and madness as a demon.


    And C Ronaldo''s expression in subtlety began to change subtly, slowly showing a confident and slightly arrogant smile!


    Then, he was thrown to the ground by his teammates, De Rossi hugged his head, his forehead pressed against him, like a beast screaming at him passionately, Kaka showed a simple and handsome smile on the side, very happy, Ronaldinho and Henry hooked shoulders Embrace your teammates together...


    Many fans in the stands and Chelsea fans have burst into tears. Chelsea fans cannot bear the disastrous picture in front of them. The pain caused by the heavy blow is too severe, and Millwall fans are excited and embarrassed. !


    On the field, if the Chelsea team was hit hard by the thunder, it seemed that the soul was stripped from the body, all the power was evacuated, and he was almost paralyzed!


    Mourinho''s head was buzzing. He seemed to be in a world of noisy and inaudible voices, but he was still forcing himself to make changes.


    He couldn''t hear what his players said at all, but unilaterally dragged Shevchenko, Crespo, and Joe Cole in front of him, and then gave them hurriedly orders after the game!


    The game is not over yet!


    Millwall''s bench, the picture after the goal is also extremely shocking.


    The young handsome who roared and roared 1 minute ago, Audridge Hall, after Cristiano Ronaldo scored, but paced back and forth, his expression was indifferent, and his hands continued to make a downward press!


    Maybe the players on the court can''t see it, but both the players on the bench and the coaching staff can be infected by Aldridge''s deceptive and extreme behavior.


    "Pavel, Sergio, Lucas!"


    When Aldridge turned around and shouted these three names to the bench, among the bench players who had stood up and stood with his teammates, Nedved, Ramos, Neil, and three people were all together, almost Roughly pull off the replacement shirt from your body!


    Millwall also has to be replaced!


    The atmosphere at the French Stadium has been completely dominated by Millwall. At the end of Millwall''s celebration, the referee gave Ronaldo a yellow card and then signaled that a substitution could be made on the sidelines.


    "The injury stoppage time is less than 1 minute. Millwall and Chelsea are substituted at the same time, and both teams have replaced three players at once!


    Chelsea withdrew Ferreira, Makelele, Carvalho and replaced Shevchenko, Crespo, Joe Cole.


    Millwall withdrew Henry, Ronaldinho and scored Kaka! Changed to Nedved, Ramos, Neal.


    The substitutions of the two teams are too targeted!


    Chelsea weakened the defense and strengthened the offense.


    Millwall weakened the offense and strengthened the defense!


    The replacement of the six players this time took almost 35 seconds. When Chelsea kicked off, the injury stoppage time will also be over, but the referee will definitely make another stoppage time, after all, there are There are also large-scale substitutions for goals! "


    At this point, Chelsea must fight. Their formation before the kick-off is almost horizontally spread out. Except for the goalkeeper, most of them are concentrated in the middle of the kick-off.


    Millwall did not retreat on a large scale, but set up a rich defensive formation.


    The appearance of Neil and Ramos to increase the air defense height of the back line. Cristiano Ronaldo has not been removed. He is considering his ability to compete for the header to support the restricted area.


    So Millwall compressed the space in the penalty area to prevent the opponents head bombing players: Nesta, Silva, De Rossi, Ronaldo, Neil, Ramos.


    6 people, 4 after 2 before, forming a joint defense triangle system in a small area!


    And on the periphery, there are Alonso, Schneider, Ram, Nedved, and the dish-shaped guard zone!


    In this substitution, Aldridge is subconscious and does not need any thoughtful consideration.


    It is conceivable that under limited time conditions, Chelsea will not have the patience and confidence to hit the ground and attack the position continuously.


    That''s not what they are good at, especially when Millwall defends with all his strength.


    Well, Chelsea will definitely try to reverse its destiny in the simplest way!


    Dashing tactics!


    Looking at Mourinho''s substitutions is also an effective deployment of the last attack between the electro-optical flint.


    Robben and Joe Cole can cross from the outside, Drogba, Shevchenko, Crespo on the front line, plus Lampard, Barack, Chelsea who will definitely rush up, there are no shortage of headers in the penalty area The threat of bombing, Ashley Cole, Terry, Essien, can provide support and two-point attack in the periphery, especially Terry can also plug in the header from the back.


    The coaching staff of the two sides, the substitute players, and the players who were replaced were all standing on the sidelines, and the atmosphere was unprecedented.


    The referee whistled and the game continued!


    The formation that Chelsea spread out immediately pushed forward!


    Robben and Joe Cole are on two sidelines, waiting for the opportunity to pass the ball. Lampard, Barack, Ashley Cole, Essien pass the ball in the midfield and wait for the forward player. After rushing into the penalty area to stand in position, Lampard and Barak began to rush forward, and behind them, Terry strode the meteor to grind his teeth and rush forward!


    The ball finally reached Robben''s feet. Peter Pan did not dare to succeed at the moment. He looked up at the crowd, if he wanted to break through, it would be too difficult!


    So he chose to shake the angle and just hit it!


    The ball hung to the middle of the gate in the penalty area. All the people in the penalty area, Millwall, Chelsea, and the players on both sides looked up at the falling ball. The expression was extremely tense!


    At this moment, when the ball fell, Ronaldo and Silva jumped together to fight for the top. On the Chelsea side, Shevchenko and Barak also made a jump to fight for the top. It is difficult to predict who will kill the deer!


    When the four men are in physical confrontation and trying to fight for the top, when the ball falls, it is suddenly hit by a fist!


    "Bout attacked! He successfully flew the ball out of the penalty area! At this moment, despite the risk, but Bout did not waver and firmly believed himself, he had a bad performance of attack errors in the first half, but this Once, his attack was crucial!"


    The ball that was struck out was headed back by Alonso, and it seemed that the ball would return to the feet of the Chelsea player because the ball was flying towards Ashley Cole.


    But there was a player from Millwall who rushed up firmly!


    Nedved!


    The physically-advanced God of War came to Ashley Cole with unprecedented momentum. Ashley Cole may not have thought about whether to stop the ball or pass it, or simply kick the ball back directly. He hesitated and touched the ball, more like a stop error!


    Nedved kicked the ball forward from the front, then ran forward, passing Ashley Cole!


    Single pole?


    It seems yes, but Essien''s defense is not slow, and he has never given up.


    Millwall fans in the stands cheered excitedly after 20 seconds of fear.


    If he can score another goal, Millwall will definitely win the game!


    Nedved turned his head to observe the situation behind him during the dribbling process. If he was given a 30-meter distance to sprint, he would definitely not care about Essien, but this time, he killed from the midfield and backcourt to the frontcourt, The distance is really far away. Essien sprinting at full speed without the ball is gradually approaching him!


    Nedved did not hesitate to make a decision. From a straight line of attack to the goal line, he suddenly changed direction and took the ball to the corner steering wheel.


    His change of direction slightly throws away some Essien. After all, Essien rushes straight in the direction of his own goal. It is not expected that Nedved will give up the shot!


    This is going to delay time!


    Nedved is not only guaranteeing possession, but also winning more adjustment time for Millwall''s defensive system, and forcing Chelsea''s offensive players to withdraw!


    If you give Chelsea a continuous attack, in such an environment, it will inevitably create chaos, not good, it will really be dragged into overtime by the opponent''s absolute tie, after all, the opponent''s attack configuration is really strong, Drogba, Shev Qinke, Crespo, must have absolute strength and power, and opportunists must also have a final role.


    Nedved gave up a single shot, he can''t give the ball to Chelsea, after all, even if it is a single shot, there is a risk of kicking!


    He brought the ball to the corner kick position. This side stand is where Chelsea fans are. Many of them crazy accused Nedved of delaying time, but they did not wipe the tears from their faces!


    Nedved, who protected the ball in the corner area, let the game enter a static state. When Essien rushed from behind, Nedvide used his body to resist the opponent''s goal, and Essien pushed down Ned in a hurry Vader.


    foul!


    The referee blew his whistle at this moment.


    Two short and one long, the whistle is over!


    The Champions League final is over!


    Nedved got up from the ground without ignoring Essien, he rushed to his teammates and roared with emotion!


    Millwall, the most crowned team in the history of the UEFA Champions League!


    Seven Champions League Champions League!

 Chapter 1175： Watch you leave

    "In the 2005-2006 season European Champions League final, defending champion Millwall staged a three-goal reversal in the second half in the unfavorable situation of 0:2 behind! Chelsea used to be so close to the champion, but Christie Arno Ronaldo and Kaka defeated by 3 goals together! Congratulations Millwall, this is an epic game for them, in the game, not only embodies the amazing technical and tactical strength In terms of spiritual temperament, no matter what the situation of the game is, we can''t see their panic side, unyielding, unyielding, tenacious, and the lion king''s temperament is most vividly reflected in this game.


    This will be a classic battle that has been recorded in history. Of course, there will be a wonderful matchup between the two coaches. The first half belongs to Mourinho. His Chelsea once defended the whole game in the first half. The counterattack was sharp and fatal. Mu Rinio''s kneeling knee to celebrate the team''s second goal is also destined to make countless fans unforgettable.


    But in the second half, Mourinho was eclipsed relative to Sir Hall. After a halftime break, Chelsea suddenly lost control of the game in the second half. Millwall was significantly adjusted, the player''s position changed, and the style of play changed. , Successfully ruled the game, after the game, there must be a lot of critics will use this game to repeatedly analyze the fighting between the two coaches, in the end what makes Chelsea''s defensive quality have a huge contrast, and what makes Mill Did Wall shine brightly in the offense?


    The most shining person in this game is Cristiano Ronaldo. He staged a goal and scored twice. The header scoring in the injury time and stoppage time was a breathtaking goal, as well as Brazil. The midfielder Kaka''s zero-angle violent volley broke the door, and the interpretation of the passion and violence aesthetics will make fans relish.


    After winning this championship, Millwall achieved the second three consecutive championships against the Champions League. The number of Champions League wins also rose to 7 times. When the defending was successful last year, Millwall, Real Madrid and AC Milan tied for the most Champions League wins. The team is also 6 times, and from this moment on, they are the most influential and highest-level king of the UEFA Champions League football club! The most successful team!


    Considering that Millwall only took ten years to achieve such achievements, and their success is more brilliant, we always have a question when the strong succeed: when will they fail?


    Seeing the performance of Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka today, Alonso, De Rossi, Silva, Ram''s steady play, this is actually a long time ago question: crazy lion, when will it be Subverted?


    Perhaps more and more people will stop thinking about this issue, because Millwall''s power is no longer temporary, but it is updated and steadily maintained its strong strength!


    They are running on the most perfect track, they seem impossible to be defeated!


    Finally, we should pay high tribute to Chelsea.


    Some fans can not appreciate their football philosophy, but they can not turn a blind eye to their achievements!


    Mourinho led the team, two seasons, the league and the two most important fronts in the Champions League, Chelsea won three runner-up!


    Two runner-ups in the league, the Champions League runner-up.


    The same team beat them: Millwall.


    However, Millwall has defeated too many teams, and all the giants in Europe, and even the giants in South America, are willing to worship in front of the mad lion. For such a master of countless kings with ten years of honor, we cannot use the ordinary Looking at Millwall, they are detached and unreproducible in the future.


    In this way, the three runner-ups of Chelsea can be said that under Millwall, Europe is the strongest, or close to the strongest!


    This represents Chelsea''s progress. Three years ago, Chelsea was not special to Europe. Even because of debt problems, most people believed that it would disappear in the mainstream.


    Chelsea, now recognized in Europe, has definitely reached the top ranks!


    Today¡¯s Chelsea may not be the most perfect, because they lost the game, but they should face their defeat with their heads held high, they used to be so close to the championship in the game, so close, unfortunately, they still pass by, but They are good enough..."


    On the court, Millwall players and coaches rushed into the stadium to celebrate wildly. They ran wildly. They embraced and sang and danced together. They roared and enjoyed the great victory.


    Most of the Chelsea generals fell to the ground. Some people crouched down and looked down at the place sadly, some people concealed their faces to hide the painful expression, and some people dropped tears of heroes.


    Mourinho stood on the sidelines from the moment the game ended, and he stared dullly at the disciples on the court.


    Lost!


    No overtime!


    Damn it!


    Why not give him 30 minutes anymore!


    Give him another 30 minutes!


    He firmly believed that Chelsea could kill Millwall and subvert the mad lion dynasty!


    Team captain Terry burst into tears, blaming himself, and guilty, making it difficult for him to restrain the tears.


    He was very worried about Cristiano Ronaldo''s fall at the last minute. Perhaps this will be accompanied by a lifetime, which will never be forgotten.


    Lampard stepped forward and hugged Terry, giving Terry as much comfort as he could.


    Mourinho wanted to walk into the court to comfort his disciples, let them stand up, hold their heads up, lose today, and fight again next year!


    Chelsea is not dead!


    The blue army''s steel will never die!


    If we persist, we will definitely stand on top of Europe!


    Certainly, definitely!


    However, Mourinho''s legs didn''t move, he couldn''t walk into the field and couldn''t face his disciples.


    In the VIP box, Abu disappeared the moment the game ended.


    Mourinho''s fate also reached the moment of final verdict.


    Surrounded by countless reporters on the sidelines, Mourinho slightly lowered his head, turned around and walked towards the player channel.


    He is leaving?


    The reporters in the surrounding media were surprised that Chelsea would also receive the runner-up medal.


    But Mourinho was gone. Behind him, on the side of the court, an proud figure watched his back disappear gradually into the player channel.


    It seems to have fulfilled the promise of two years ago.


    "I am waiting for you in the Premier League, and then watch you leave!"


    Aldridge closed his eyes, remembering every bit of the confrontation with Mourinho in the past two years.


    The Mu''s Blues Phase I, the curtain call!


    Whether there will be a second issue, Aldridge does not know, and is unwilling to think about this issue.


    I have to say that Aldrich is full of respect for Chelsea and Mourinho at this moment.


    He can get bored with Mourinho and disagree with Chelsea''s football philosophy.


    However, he cannot ignore Chelsea''s strength growth and achievements.


    Just like in his social circles in the UK, he doesn''t have a cold for many self-employed working emperors, but he can''t deny the hard work achievements of those people.


    Last season¡¯s four European games against Chelsea, Aldridge concluded that this season¡¯s Chelsea is difficult to compete with Millwall. This judgment is not wrong in the general direction. Compared with the stable and enduring league, Chelsea really lost to Millwall. However, in the Champions League, Chelsea''s combat effectiveness has been greatly improved, and today''s ambition is still particularly admirable.


    Mourinho was gone. When he walked into the player''s channel, the reporter got a wet eye. When pressed by the reporter, he only said a word.


    There was no complaint, on the contrary, he took all the responsibility on himself.


    "I am proud of Chelsea''s players. They did their best. It was my responsibility not to win the game. I failed to help them get the return they deserve!"


    Perhaps it was this guilty psychology that prevented Mourinho from walking into the stadium to face his disciples...


    Inside the stadium, Aldridge walked into the field of play. Of course, he was proud and satisfied, but compared to Millwall''s wanton celebrations, Chelsea''s picture seemed more attractive.


    Terry, who wept bitterly, brought together Lampard, Drogba, Ashley Cole, and others. They hugged as if they were comforting each other.


    The live TV camera locked Aldridge and extended the line of sight. The picture presented to the TV audience was: Aldridge stood watching them from ten meters away from Terry, his legs forward A step was taken, then, lowered his head, turned and walked away slowly.


    It can be said that many of Chelsea¡¯s players, including Terry, are Aldridge¡¯s former disciples. There have been conflicts between them and betrayal defined by media fans, from companions to dead enemies. It can''t be ignored.


    In the end, Aldridge failed to take a firm step to comfort them. It seemed cruel. Although his original intention may be good, he might be deemed to have spread another salt on the other party''s wound.


    Twelve years of ups and downs, Aldridge has traveled not only the Golden Mile, but also the road of legend, accompanied by not only flowers and applause, but also setbacks and challenges, as well as enmity and hatred... This is complicated. Under the influence of factors, he cannot follow the simple intentions, which will cause misunderstandings, be misinterpreted, and fail to convey his purest kindness and friendship.


    Chelsea will lose their hearts to receive the runner-up medal. UEFA officials are very angry about Mourinho''s early departure, and this has been incorporated into the resentment of the Premier League team!


    Of course, that is only part of the idea of ??UEFA forces.


    At the moment when UEFA President Johansson handed the big ear cup to De Rossi, and the Millwall team reveled to win the cup, Johnson walked to Aldridge and smiled and whispered in his ear: "O Don¡¯t worry, Derich, the confusion on the UEFA side will end soon!"


    Yes, this year, UEFA is chaotic, because with the presidential election approaching, the past "infighting" has become "open battle"!


    Aldrich didn¡¯t know what kind of confidence Johansson had made these words. There was only one possibility for the end of chaos: the end of the competition and the beginning of a new rule!


    But if Johansson or his allies could not continue their rule, what was placed in front of Millwall may indeed no longer be a "chaotic" UEFA, but an enemy who saw each other completely!

 Chapter 1176： Year of standing

    After Millwall won the seventh Champions League trophy in club history, the media carried overwhelming coverage of Millwall''s pinnacle.


    The league, the FA Cup, the Champions League, and Millwall once again completed the feat of the Triple Crown in the summer of 2006.


    The front page of the Fleet Street newspaper tabloid was full of post-game photos of Millwall.


    The picture of Ronaldo and Kaka holding the cup together and kissing the big ear cup, I don''t know how many female fans will be fascinated.


    Nedved, Larson, Ronaldinho, and Henry stood in front of the trophy indifferently, and the plain but historical record would become a classic.


    The veteran Millwall represented by Nedved, broke the Champions League personal honor record in one fell swoop, and became a legendary figure who won the championship seven times.


    The Millwall team in Triumph London held a championship celebration parade. On that day, the traffic in East London was blocked and there was no water. There were countless Millwall fans celebrating the festival. This grand celebration lasted all day until Late at night, the Millwall team accepted the mayor''s commendation and was invited by the royal family to visit Buckingham Palace the next day.


    On May 20th, Aldridge¡¯s 30th birthday is coming. He wanted to spend the day with his family at home in peace and warmth. After all, the continuous battle at the end of the season is a bit of a drain on energy, and the celebration after the championship Playing too much.


    But he didn''t expect that when he was still wearing pants in the morning, he was awakened by the roar of the sports car outside his home.


    Standing in front of the bedroom window and looking down, he saw casually dressed Ronaldo, Kaka, De Rossi, Alonso and others standing next to their respective cars, Aguero standing on De Rossi''s car roof Shouted at Aldrich''s house: "Boss, happy birthday! Come out soon, we have arranged the show for you today!"


    Aldridge opened the window and scolded: "Shit! It''s 6 AM! Don''t yell here! Neighbors will complain! Don''t bother me if you live here!"


    "Boss, your white **** are exposed! Be careful to walk away! Wow, where is your abs? Sure enough, it''s an uncle!"


    "Asshole, my abdominal muscles are still there, look! Still! You get me off!"


    Aldrich deliberately bent his abdomen slightly, and really had the outline of six abdominal muscles.


    In order not to let the cubs disturb the neighbors, Aldridge quickly dressed and washed, just going out to teach them, but was ambushed by Ronaldo and De Rossi at the door, put him on the car from the left and the right. And go.


    Ewen slowed down and stood helpless at the door, thinking about not knowing how to appease her daughter Bonnie. Today is Aldridge¡¯s birthday. If my father is gone, God knows if this little princess will upset her family !


    Fortunately, the group of players "kidnapped" Aldridge in his car and just walked. Andrew took his wife and drove to the door. After getting off the car, he smiled and said to Yiwen: "Oh, today I want to give Aldridge A surprise, you guys have to tidy up, let''s go, the elder brother is back, we are going to play today. The elder brother bought another luxury cruise ship."


    Yiwen was relieved, and went back to the house to wake up the children. When they were still confused, Yiwen drove behind the car and left the community.


    What Ivan didn¡¯t expect was that they went to the airport. On Millwall¡¯s private plane, Audridge wore blindfolds to fill in, surrounded by Millwall players, as well as their family or girlfriends, children. We got together and had fun, and the adults happily talked, and the plane took off and flew to the Mediterranean.


    Before noon, they boarded a luxury cruise ship to have fun at sea.


    Barnett is really rich.


    The idea that the two older brothers of Aldridge and the Millwall players coincided with each other and wanted to celebrate Aldridge''s birthday came true when they exceeded expectations.


    The players'' initial idea was to pack a hotel in the city and have a private party.


    Unexpectedly, I ended up on a cruise ship to swim in the Mediterranean.


    Aldrich''s friend, Millwall''s employees, a total of more than 300 people have fun on this luxury cruise ship, and at night, Barnett''s generous came.


    Last year''s Grammy pop male singer, female singer, and band combination winners took a private plane to the cruise ship together. John Mayer, Nora Jones, LosLonelyBoys, singing on the same stage, detonated the atmosphere on the cruise ship, A small concert lasted for three hours!


    Wearing a pair of beach pants and casual shirts, Aldridge was holding a glass and hitting Barnett with his elbow. He asked in a low voice, "How much does it cost?"


    Barnett gave him a white glance and replied: "Don''t ask for money, don''t ask, what about it? Tell you what? It took anyway. You are also a rich man worth more than 3 billion pounds, come up with a little Is it possible for rich people to get paid?"


    Aldrich scratched his head and smiled awkwardly without saying anything.


    He still remembers that he has a lot of weight in Barnett¡¯s company. It is estimated that Barnett converted the value of that share before he said that Audridge¡¯s net worth exceeded 3 billion pounds. Of course, Barnett ignored it automatically. How much Millwall is worth has always thought that Aldridge does not have a small vault.


    In fact, Aldridge does not count as a share in Big Brother or how much the Millwall Club is worth. In his private account, he already has more than 500 million pounds, except for some that the club has earned in the past, and others are long. Stocks that have been invested there for more than a decade before.


    It¡¯s not that he is stingy, it¡¯s just that the days of living with more money, and the drunken gold fanatics, and the excitement of one or two days, the corruption and the fall of two days later, it¡¯s just the same thing, just give him 10 million pounds. After a lifetime of nourishment and nourishment, and with such care, under this kind of thinking, expecting to have a birthday today, Barnett estimated that it should have cost ten million pounds, of course he would care.


    This small concert, combined with the hearts of the players, is not the thing that makes Audridge the happiest.


    After the concert, the last person to perform on stage was actually his daughter Bonnie.


    Bonnie, wearing a princess dress, has no stage fright. Sitting in front of the piano, she has an inexplicably elegant temperament and smoothly interprets a Chopin''s impromptu rhapsody.


    Aldrich didn¡¯t understand piano music, but at this moment, everyone kept quiet and watched Bonnie playing the music. With the sound of the waves coming from time to time, Aldridge was intoxicated by the whole person. In the mood of nature.


    His daughter can play Chopin.


    It is even more touching and proud than he has received more honors on the football field!


    This touch almost made his eyes wet.


    At the end of the playing, thunderous applause and cheers broke out!


    For a little girl to be able to play such a great song, adults will naturally applaud, louder than the cheers received by American stars.


    Bonnie, who was not timid during the performance, blushed instead, trotting down the stage and throwing himself into Aldrich''s arms, afraid to see anyone.


    Aldridge picked her up and laughed.


    On this day, Aldridge, who was in his infancy, spent an unforgettable birthday with his family, friends and disciples.


    ...


    After the championship victory at the end of the season and Aldridge¡¯s 30th birthday, Millwall¡¯s 2005-2006 season officially ended, and it is almost half a month away from the World Cup. This is exactly what the German World Cup Organizing Committee has arranged. The international team can fully rest and come to Germany with full energy to dedicate a successful and wonderful World Cup to fans all over the world.


    Aldrich began to live in a simple way. There was no travel plan in the summer, because he accepted the invitation of Beckenbauer four years ago and would go to Germany to watch the World Cup in Germany in the summer. At least he would appear as a VIP at the opening ceremony.


    Millwall¡¯s contract renewal work is on the schedule, and Audridge hopes players can finalize the contract before the World Cup begins.


    The salary increase should be discussed with the repositioning of players.


    Before the opening of the World Cup, Aldridge first had a formal conversation with Messi, Ramos and other young players on the team to inform them of their upcoming role next season.


    Although Schneider is still the main candidate of the German national team, it is because the German team is not talented. After all, Schneider will be 33 years old next season, and Aldrich decided to let Ramos take over.


    At the same time, Messi will also be supported by Aldridge. Perhaps this process will not establish his status at once, but at the very least, he has the qualification to compete for the main force, unlike Lamor and Glenchard. Players, the fate of the bench will not change.


    Before negotiating with Bout to renew the contract, Millwall sent away veteran Palyuka. Palyuka, who retired at Millwall gloriously, did not want the club to give him a big retired ceremony. He just wanted to leave quietly. The club respected his ideas, only announced his retirement on the official website, and internally organized a small party for him. After the veteran left, Bout''s question, Aldridge officially showed up with him.


    Bout¡¯s performance last season cannot be said to be terrible, but the occasional low-level mistakes made Aldridge feel nervous. Although he won the Champions League final, he was very thrilling. He was almost killed by Bout¡¯s mistakes for the season. Therefore, Aldridge must show off with him.


    He hopes that Bout will stay at Millwall as a substitute. The main goalkeeper, Aldridge will also buy from the transfer market. Joe Hart has made progress on loan to exercise, but he wants to be on the top of Millwall. His comprehensive level and experience are still lacking.


    What makes Aldridge gratified is that Bout, who can play the main role in other first-tier clubs, has no idea of ??transferring at all. His conversations with Aldridge are open and peaceful, and they can understand each other''s positions.


    Since Bout replaced Kelly as the main goalkeeper of Millwall ten years ago, he has always been a slightly insufficient point in the Millwall lineup in the media, but Aldridge has always trusted him for ten years!


    Butt is satisfied with this. Now, it is his turn to return to the club, so he willingly accepts the role of a substitute, as long as the club needs him.


    The renewal of other players is proceeding smoothly, and the digging of other giants has not been officially launched. Millwall has settled the situation and has not given others the opportunity to exploit the gap.


    After settling the club, in early June, Aldridge took his family to Germany to experience the atmosphere of the World Cup, and treated it as a nearby trip.

 Chapter 1177： Chicken fly egg beat strategy adjustment

    In fact, before the opening of the German World Cup, the black whistle scandal in the Bundesliga, the long-term weakness of the national team, the problems in the construction of the World Cup venues, etc., made Germany widely questioned and criticized, but when the World Cup came, people were surprised The discovery of the Germans, who have always been known for their rigidity, set off an unstoppable passion frenzy.


    The flag is everywhere. In front of the house, cars, and streets are full of helpful fans. An unprecedented passion is sweeping across Germany!


    June 9, Munich.


    Munich World Cup Stadium (namely Allianz Arena, but Allianz is not a World Cup sponsor. During the World Cup, the stadium was called the Munich World Cup Stadium).


    Aldrich took his family to the opening ceremony and sat on the VIP stand. The position that the organizing committee arranged for him was really conspicuous. He was sitting beside Beckenbauer.


    In addition to the cultural performances at the opening ceremony, Southgate, who has retired, represented the England national team in the Hercules Cup and symbolically returned the championship trophy to FIFA. The round of competition begins again!


    In the opening game, the German team took advantage of Costa Rica. The German team led by Klinsmann was actually awkward. It was considered to be in a transition stage. It had to rely on the old to support the scene and promote young players. It was a bit like a "predecessor planting a tree". Character.


    The victory of the German team made the whole country jubilant, and Aldridge just simply appreciated the game. Under the atmosphere of bursting in the stadium, he only felt worthwhile.


    After the game, Aldridge had a separate conversation with Beckenbauer.


    Scene words naturally need not be talked about.


    As the last World Cup champion coach, and his unprecedented coaching accomplishments, Aldridge can come to support, of course, will add a lot to the German World Cup.


    The focus of the two discussions is football politics.


    Beckenbauer hopes that Aldridge can temporarily suppress the pressure of the G14 on UEFA.


    G14 has never been a role in line with UEFA.


    As Millwall began to play the leading role in G14, the voice of G14 to the outside world will naturally have Millwall''s will.


    Half a year after the UEFA presidential election, Beckenbauer hopes that the G14 will temporarily dormant to avoid putting too much pressure on UEFA and creating external difficulties for Johansson¡¯s re-election.


    For such a request, Aldridge agreed.


    However, after their conversation ended, Aldridge returned to the hotel to think about the problem carefully, only to find the core of the problem.


    Johansson promised that UEFA¡¯s internal chaos would end, reassuring Aldridge.


    Well, it certainly means that Johansson and Beckenbauer can win!


    Beckenbauer came out to find Aldridge again, and the tone of the conversation seemed to let Aldridge help John Pine to be re-elected smoothly.


    Where is the problem?


    Who is the next UEFA president?


    According to the intelligence collected by most European media before.


    Johansson is about to abdicate!


    Please, he is not only 76 years old, but also suffering from cancer, he also repeatedly expressed the intention to abdicate and let Xianxian.


    The outside world believes that Johansson will support Beckenbauer as a high-ranking successor, and he can be called the hand-in-hand successor of Johansson who cultivated and paved the road with all his strength!


    However, in his conversation with Aldrich, Beckenbauer also hated Platini''s campaign stance, but he seemed to be intrigued by the position of the UEFA president.


    Platini is engaged in "charitable poverty alleviation". He is the enemy of the "European elite". It can be said that the G14 will never like Platini. On the contrary, if Beckenbauer can uphold the concept of Johansson Then, G14 can even fully support Beckenbauer.


    Johansson can understand that for football to develop, first of all, the superstructure must be very luxurious!


    Football stars, star teams, this is an important factor to attract the outside world.


    The success of the Champions League is also due to the existence of "European elite", without these giants, the Champions League is worthless!


    But if it¡¯s like the one promoted by Platini, what¡¯s more, Macedonian fans not only want to see Zidane on TV, they also want to see their team in the Champions League with the team represented by Zidane In the match, they have the right to enjoy football, we will try our best to achieve this! The same is true of other European countries."


    This is simply shit!


    Who can imagine a group of teams from Malta, Macedonia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and other countries appearing on the Champions League one day?


    Yes, that''s right, it seems that the Champions League is covered in a wider range. In theory, it is good for promoting football and improving the brand.


    However, like Millwall, Real Madrid, AC Milan, Manchester United, Chelsea, Bayern, etc., to play teams from these countries, do you need to be in the main lineup?


    In addition, who will be squeezed out of these participating civilian teams?


    Platini is a great player, but after his identity became a football politician, his philosophy made European elites disagree and even resisted resolutely.


    G14 naturally does not want to see Platini elected, at this time, Platini is still an ally of Blatter.


    On this matter, Aldridge called Carter at night to discuss.


    "I can''t figure out right now whether Johansson will go for a firm election or Beckenbauer! European media have said that Beckenbauer will be the next UEFA president, but Beckenbauer is The tone of my talk seems to have other ideas!"


    After listening to Aldridge¡¯s elaboration, Carter pondered for a while on the other end of the phone and replied indefinitely after a long time: ¡°There will certainly not be a split between Beckenbauer and Johansson, but listening to what you said seems to be the two¡¯s intentions The difference is, I think, Johansson¡¯s position is affirmative. If he goes to run, the odds are not too great. In the past two years, he has been building momentum for Beckenbauer. He has stated that he will retire many times. It¡¯s not enough anymore. In addition, he still has health risks. At the age of 76, he will be 77 by the end of the year! If Beckenbauer runs for election, he should be stable.¡±


    Aldridge felt the same way.


    If Johansson did not suffer from cancer, and he did not reveal the intention of abdicating many times in the past two years, then Johansson will continue to run, and there is still great hope for re-election.


    But they were all ready to give way, and then they repented at this time, quite a bit self-confident.


    "Then Beckenbauer wouldn''t be a direct UEFA presidential candidate! But he didn''t seem to have that meaning, otherwise, why didn''t he clarify the words with me, as long as he said he would run, I can give him on behalf of G14 All the promises he wants."


    "Uh, I think the problem might be the World Cup."


    "World Cup? What does the World Cup have to do with UEFA?"


    "Two years ago, Beckenbauer may still be on thin ice. After all, the outside world has serious doubts and criticisms about hosting the World Cup in Germany, but today, the World Cup has received a huge response from the opening. The outside world has received praise. As the organizing committee of the World Cup Madam President, what kind of praise will Beckenbauer get behind and behind the stage, and how will today¡¯s success stimulate his ambition?"


    "So what is he going to do? Ambitious, okay, to be UEFA president! What could make him more than UEFA president..."


    Aldridge said half of it suddenly stopped talking.


    Because he suddenly thought of a sensational thing in the next few years in the original history.


    That was the bribery scandal that the World Cup applied for.


    Beckenbauer was also involved.


    It was Fleet Street that was exposed.


    However, the point is not a scandal. The scandal itself existed during the bid for the World Cup, but it was only exposed.


    It was Beckenbauer''s identity at the time, he was a FIFA!


    He works for FIFA!


    In fact, after the end of the Johansson era, Platini was in power, Aldridge had never heard much about Beckenbauer¡¯s deeds in the football political circle, and the German football Caesar was not very glamorous in front of the stage. Beautiful.


    However, thinking about it now, Aldridge probably guessed why Beckenbauer, who was so loud before Johansson lost to Platini, would disappear in the next few years!


    "I received the wind from Germany. Beckenbauer seems to have lost interest in the position of UEFA President. The German media revealed that the wind is that Beckenbauer is going to run for the FIFA Executive Committee. The goal is The chair of FIFA. But the news is not sure, and there is not much media hype. After all, it is during the World Cup, but one thing is certain, the German World Cup is important to Beckenbauer¡¯s political capital."


    After Carter finished talking about these winds he heard, he didn''t get Aldridge''s response for a long time. For a while, Aldridge sighed helplessly and said goodbye to Carter.


    He understood a little bit why there was a subtle difference in the attitude of allies in the trench between Johnson and Beckenbauer.


    Johansson really wanted to put Beckenbauer on the throne of UEFA.


    However, the success of the World Cup in Germany made Beckenbauer''s ambition inflated. He wanted to step into the sky and directly overthrow Blatter''s rule to become the head of the next FIFA.


    As a result, he and Johansson had huge differences in their strategic lines.


    Johansson wanted Beckenbauer to defend Europe. This is the most important territory for FIFA, and it is the most important. It has long been the territory of FIFA as an enemy role.


    Beckenbauer now changes his mind, and in turn hopes that Johansson will hold on for another term. He will go to FIFA to expand his territory, and he will go further!


    To put it simply, Johansson wants to stay true, but Beckenbauer wants to be aggressive.


    Perhaps Beckenbauer felt that it was absolutely okay for Johansson to hold the position of UEFA President and give him the backing to challenge Blatter!


    Relatively speaking, FIFA¡¯s strategy is quite simple. Blatter fully supports Platini, who is now an ally and his younger brother. If it fails, there is no loss.


    So only after the defeat of Johansson''s campaign, FIFA turned around to soothe Beckenbauer and let him be elected as a FIFA executive committee, but actually made Beckenbauer enemies from the inside and out, it is impossible to get involved in the FIFA chairmanship. Retreat, but the foundation of the European territory was cleaned up by Platini. In football politics, it has long become the main theme of Platini and Blatter from allies to anti-object struggle. .


    Aldridge was very helpless about this. He couldn''t call to remind Johansson or Beckenbauer. If you didn''t say a steady win, at least you didn''t lose. You adjusted the strategy, and in the end, the chicken flew.


    Why do people listen to him!

 Chapter 1178： Enemy against all British fans

    The World Cup is in full swing. Aldrich cannot see the game. He will only selectively watch a few games. Even for the England team, he is not a must-see.


    At the end of the group stage, Aldridge took his daughter Bonnie to the world-famous Ruhr Industrial Zone and toured Dortmund.


    Because there will also be World Cup matches here, naturally the paparazzi are indispensable, so in order to avoid being recognized, Aldridge did a disguise. Under the watchful eye of his daughter Bonnie, Aldridge stuck his beard and put on Sunglasses, and a new trendy T-shirt and shorts, people can not associate with the handsome young man who appeared in the suit and leather in the camera.


    Bonnie had to put on makeup when she was arguing. Aldridge put a small baseball cap on her face and applied two red and white make-ups on her face. Then the father and daughter started swimming in Dortmund without any care. .


    Running on the street, Aldridge let her ride on the head. Bonnie held snacks in her hands. From time to time, he fed Aldridge a bite. When he saw the landscape things of interest, he directed Aldridge to come closer.


    This time in Dortmund, Aldridge has a purpose. Before coming to Germany, Aldridge glanced at the information update of the club¡¯s scouting network and found that there is a new star seedling in Germany that can be taken to Millwall.


    Well, it was taken, not dug.


    After Dortmund continued to ask passionate passers-by, Aldridge brought his daughter to the door of the family.


    He knocked on the door and waited for a while. Someone opened the door and was a middle-aged man. There was a young woman standing beside him. They should be in a father-daughter relationship. The middle-aged man asked curiously, "Hello, may I ask you Who are you looking for?"


    Aldridge took Bonnie''s hand and smiled: "Hello, this is Aldridge Hall from England. Excuse me, is this the Royce family?"


    "Aldrich Hall?"


    "Aldrich Hall!"


    "Liar! Do you think we are fools?"


    The middle-aged man just questioned, but the daughter next to him raised his voice, and looked suspiciously on Aldridge''s face, immediately deciding that Aldridge was a liar.


    At this time, another young woman came to the door and asked curiously: "Aldrich Hall? Is that the English jazz?"


    "real or fake?"


    Finally, Royce appeared. Royce, whose thin arms and thin legs seemed weak, couldn''t help but look out from the middle of the two sisters, and also looked at Aldridge''s father and daughter suspiciously.


    Aldridge took off his glasses in front of them, then tore off his disguised beard, rubbed his face, put his hands down and smiled at them.


    This family, apart from Royce''s mother, his father, two older sisters, including Royce himself, has an unbelievable mouth.


    This trick became a little unexpected!


    "Really Sir Hall!"


    Royce shouted, and his father reacted this time, quickly making way for Aldridge to enter the house.


    Aldridge asked Bonnie to greet people, and Bonnie said politely to the family. Aldridge explained to them the reason for his disguise before sitting down in the living room.


    As soon as he sat down, Royce''s father could not wait to ask: "Sir Hall, you personally come to the door, does Millwall want to sign my son Marco?"


    Aldridge turned his attention to Royce, who was restless at the moment. He nodded slightly and said, "We were paying attention to Marco a long time ago. We recently tracked his performance and found that he was in the Dortmund B team. When it comes to deprecation, I suspect that his development in the Dortmund youth training system has not been smooth, so I think that at this time, Marco will need a new choice, and Millwall is willing to become his second home."


    Royce lowered his head. At first sight Aldridge''s excitement passed, and his face became bleak.


    Dortmund U17 won the same league title last season, but he was abandoned by the U17 coach because he was too thin.


    He asked softly: "Sir Hall, I have a lot of teammates who are doing very well. Why don''t you go find them?"


    Although Royce was somewhat lost, his mentality was still optimistic, so he wouldn''t be able to hold on like a life-saving straw in front of the drowning man.


    As his dream when he was a child was to travel around the world as a pilot, the development in Dortmund was not smooth, it was just another place to go.


    Aldridge smiled: "Yes, some of your teammates look better than you, such as Mario Goetze, but Millwall cannot sign him. He is a key player in Dortmund, but you are not, Millwall can sign you. Here I want to explain that Millwall signing a player will be well thought out, especially for foreign players. If possible, we are willing to sign Goetze, but we and Goetze There are many obstacles between them, but there is no obstacle between Millwall and you, and there will not even be a transfer between clubs, because your contract expires in the summer, you are free, no belonging, you can Come to England to develop, and in my opinion, this is a valuable asset that Millwall has picked up. Come to Millwall, you have talent, what you lack is only the acquired training, what is Millwall''s youth training system Also, I think, if you are interested, you can take a look at it yourself, we welcome you at any time, as long as you are willing to come, make a phone call, we will book a round-trip airfare and hotel for your family, we are all inclusive, In addition, Millwall will not easily give up a player, at least, will not give up because of the acquired nature, such as your physical fitness is not strong enough to give you up, this can be improved, as long as you work hard, you can succeed."


    Royce stared at Aldridge staring blankly, whispering something lightly, and he heard him as if he was possessed.


    The two sisters seemed to be reluctant to go abroad, so someone said: "Marco doesn''t like cold and humid environments, he likes places where the sun is warm."


    Aldridge smiled disapprovingly, didn¡¯t want to fight with the young, just said lightly: "We¡¯re not talking about the world where 99% of people on this planet live, but the football field, the green world, and Millwall in London, London belongs to the UK, what does this mean, Marco should be able to understand that in the past, stars did leave London because of weather and environmental reasons, and went to a place where the seasons are like spring and live comfortably. Then? In a green world, In fact, they went from the sun-drenched place to the extremely cold place. Marco, Millwall¡¯s door is open to you, if you want to come, you can call me at any time, this is my business card. Sorry, bye."


    With all that said, Aldrich came to the door personally with great sincerity. He would not preach anything again and again. He chose to be in Royce¡¯s own hand. He never drank a sip of water and smiled with his daughter Bonnie. Say goodbye to the Royce family and play in Dortmund for a while before going to Berlin to meet Ewen.


    After the World Cup in Germany, Royce went to the UK alone and joined the Millwall youth team.


    ...


    On July 1, the Gelsenkirchen World Cup Stadium in the northern Ruhr area.


    Aldridge sat on the Sky Sports commentary guest table, and explained the life and death battle of England vs Portugal in the quarter-finals with Andy Gray and Martin Taylor.


    "England''s World Cup looks stumbling, the scene is not as smooth and smooth as before, Sir Hall, what do you think is the problem with the England team? Today we don''t look dominant in Portugal, and we are the defending champions !"


    Aldrich served as a commentary guest, so he didn''t have too many fears.


    "The England team lost their balance on the field and we returned to the 442 in the past. Redknapp had his considerations. There is nothing wrong with Joe Cole on the left and David on the right. The impact of the two wings should be used. Can create a considerable threat, but in the midfield, I think it is difficult for Lampard and Gerrard to reach a balanced state. If a striker is removed and they are pushed up casually, it may make the situation change. Better, just like Benitez started to use Gerrard as a shadow striker in Liverpool, and Lampard¡¯s forward awareness is his advantage. It cannot be said that the two players are right or wrong, who is good and who is bad. The key lies in the coach¡¯s strategy of use, platoon formation, how to maximize the advantages of the player, and avoid the weaknesses being used by opponents, while enriching the offense."


    In the 62nd minute of the game, there was a startling change.


    Rooney stepped on the groin of Carvalho, Ronaldo immediately stepped forward to put pressure on the referee. Rooney pushed Ronaldo angrily and was immediately shown a red card by the referee!


    In the commentary, Andy Gray and Martin Taylor looked at Aldridge together. The fans from England on the scene had begun to booby Ronaldo.


    Aldridge took a deep breath and shook his head: "It''s too cool! Too reckless! He hasn''t entered the World Cup rhythm at all! Maybe he should follow Sir Ferguson''s advice, don''t bring injuries to the World Cup, he should stay in the UK, As a defending champion member but stepping on the opponent, that action can be completely avoided! And he then shoved his opponent, red card, no dispute!"


    "Sir Hall, do you think Rooney''s red card is to blame, is it?"


    Aldrich stretched out his hand to indicate the direction of the stadium, and of course said: "Shouldn''t it be a red card? This kind of trampling is allowed on the court? What''s wrong with C Ronaldo? He was wearing a Portuguese jersey and his teammates were trampled on. Wasn''t he? It¡¯s time to move forward to discuss justice for teammates and to pressure the referee. This is not in England, in Europe, on courts around the world? Isn¡¯t this normal?¡±


    In the first time, Aldridge expressed his position, firmly defended Ronaldo, and criticized Rooney''s performance mercilessly.


    Yes, Rooney behaved very badly. He was like a fierce bull, rushing on the court, the anxiety in his heart was written on his face, everyone knows it, so how can he play well? How can the flag of England be carried?


    But Fleet Street may not necessarily see it this way, and England fans may not necessarily see it that way.


    At this time, Ronaldo, who was boasted by English fans on the court, was stubborn, as if he was going to be an enemy with all British fans.

 Chapter 1179： The smoke of the World Cup

    Gelsenkirchen World Cup Stadium.


    Cristiano Ronaldo suffered a wild booing from English fans at the scene.


    The England team came to the World Cup with defending ambitions. The past two competitions have won two championships, making the fans enthusiastic about the national team.


    Cristiano Ronaldo has no problem in putting pressure on the referee. It will be done when someone else changes, or on a different occasion, for a game of lower magnitude. Then such pressure is commonplace.


    However, Rooney and Ronaldo not only knew each other, but they were friends and teammates. They had the experience of cooperating with the Millwall youth team. In the past few years, they have been their owners and have played in the Premier League.


    Cristiano Ronaldo is Millwall''s leading star. Rooney first has the identity of an English native player, followed by Manchester United''s popular striker.


    For the English fans, it cannot be said that most of them are Manchester United fans and chose to maintain Rooney, but for too many English fans who belong to the club¡¯s faith, in addition to Millwall fans, other fans are not considered Millwall Friendly, so they will aim at Ronaldo.


    Especially after Ronaldo was shoved, there was a facial expression on the side of the court that seemed to be a "conspiracy", which made the English fans believe that Ronaldo deliberately angered Rooney.


    In fact, objectively speaking, Ronaldo doesn''t matter what he does, even if Rooney is sent off, he applauds and claps, because the most fundamental reason for the red card is: Why did Rooney step on Carvalho''s groin?


    If he did not have such a dangerous foul, how would someone provoke him?


    Even if he pushed his opponent a bit, the referee gave him a yellow card at best.


    Ronaldo ignored the boos erupted by English fans on the court.


    He has his own position: he is now the leading figure in Portugal!


    He even resented the English fans in the stands!


    They don''t understand anything!


    Portugal has never been a strong team on the stage of international competitions!


    No!


    If there is no Figo, Rui Costa, a group of Portuguese golden generations who were famous in the 1990s, may not have the world''s impression of Portuguese football even in Europe.


    But because of the emergence of the golden generation, they have a lot of fans around the world. In this way, it is inevitable that the outside world will have an unrealistic improvement in the impression of Portugal''s strength.


    Before the start of the 2006 World Cup.


    How many times have Portugal played in the World Cup?


    3 times!


    And when was Portugal last qualifying for the group in the World Cup?


    40 years ago!


    Forty years ago, they won the third place in the World Cup in England. At that time, they also won the third place in the World Cup thanks to the shine of Portuguese legendary superstar Eusebio.


    20 years ago, their group was eliminated.


    In Asia 4 years ago, they went home in the same group stage.


    Coming to 2006, the fourth time in Portugal''s history, the World Cup finals, what are you playing now?


    1/4 finals!


    In other words, Portugal has created the best results in the World Cup in nearly 40 years!


    Every step forward, this is the new glory of Portugal''s modern football!


    And England?


    It has always been a traditional strong team in the eyes of the world. Even if Aldridge did not lead them to the World Cup and the European Cup, but every time he went to the competition, most of the popular championships in England were in the top ten!


    On the contrary, Portugal?


    No one talks about whether they can win the championship.


    Because in the eyes of truly professional football analysts or ball critics, Portugal is far from the champion, it is good for this small European border country to qualify from the group.


    In the eyes of Cristiano Ronaldo, England is now arrogant and arrogant, clamoring to defend its title before the World Cup, while Portugal is moving forward with a low-key ambition to create history.


    They will catch each opponent''s mistakes and strike them fiercely!


    As it happens, Rooney made a mistake!


    He must pay the price!


    How can Portugal miss such an opportunity?


    In the end, the quarter-finals ended the regular time and overtime in a draw, and England lost to Portugal in the penalty shootout.


    And Portugal has entered the semifinals of the World Cup!


    They are infinitely close to the best results of the national team World Cup, and have the opportunity to create new glory!


    Win another game and go to the final!


    Win two more games and stand on top of the world!


    After the game, Fleet Street deliberately enlarged C Ronaldo''s "successful" emoji when Rooney ended. National team coach Redknapp also tried his best to protect Rooney before he stepped down. In addition, English fans also played against Rooney in the European Cup two years ago. I never forget the magical performance, after all, it is a hero, so almost all of England''s anger is directed at Ronaldo.


    Aldrich said bluntly in an interview after the game: "It is unfair to accuse C Ronaldo. In my opinion, he did nothing wrong. Maybe you think that C Ronaldo is my disciple, so I will protect him. Then I can tell you that as a head coach, after that happened (Rooney trampled, red card off), I will first investigate Rooney¡¯s foul, which is a red card action, without any controversy, instead of paying attention Putting emphasis on: Why did Cristiano Ronaldo run to pressure the referee? I would like to ask one more question: Why can''t he press the referee? Finally, England is out as the defending champion, this is football, you will win, you It will also lose. England needs to sum up this failure, instead of complaining about it, and focus on spitting and attacking others. In that case, the future of England will be bleak!"


    As the leading coach of the England national team to win the World Cup and the European Cup, Aldridge has a great role in maintaining Ronaldo for the first time, although some people will still take the relationship of "C Ronaldo is an Aldridge player". And to deny Aldridge''s remarks, but Aldridge did not care, he also texted Ronaldo immediately after the game, congratulations to his team for qualifying for the World Cup semifinals, and let him not to put the game in the game The matter was in my heart, Ronaldo gave him a call back, a bit bitter, meaning that the fans in England booed him too much, making him a little wronged and angry.


    In the following days, during the World Cup semi-finals, the media from Italy and Spain disclosed that, in view of C Ronaldo becoming the public enemy of the United Kingdom, it was because Rooney did not become Beckham, Inter Milan of Italy, and Real Madrid of Spain, all planned to Take the opportunity to try to take Ronaldo away!


    At the same time, Millwall released the promotion poster for the new season in advance, and Ronaldo, who is the protagonist, was listed, which means Millwall announced to the outside world: Ronaldo will not leave!


    Portugal failed to create a miracle in the end. They lost to France in the semi-finals, and the local German team also lost to "Magic Grosso", Italy and France joined the World Cup final.


    On the day of the final, Aldridge went to the field to watch the ball. There were not many accidents. Old and strong. Zidane, the more courageous and more courageous, is a well-deserved protagonist. Thrilling but no lack of elegant spoons, and the final shock One, Italy laughed to the end in the penalty shootout and climbed to the top when the outside world was not optimistic!


    The 2006 World Cup ended successfully.


    For many Millwall players participating in the World Cup, except De Rossi, everyone else should be considered a frustrated one, Ronaldinho and Kaka are the most helpless.


    Brazil¡¯s tactics for this World Cup are very chaotic from start to finish. Adriano, Ronaldo, Robinho, the coach is hesitant between playing single forwards, double forwards, and three forwards, or the substitutions will change. Or change the type every other field, the unstable play makes the Brazil team did not burst out of the expected offensive firepower.


    The veterans such as Nedved are also relatively "bleak", failing to shine in the World Cup, and the final impact has also become an elegy for the curtain call.


    Ram and Schneider have different historical missions in the national team. Perhaps Schneider regrets to be even bigger. When he was absent from Barak, he was already the captain of the national team. The German team''s performance is not bad. The third place can be His farewell has also entered a countdown, and the era of Ram belongs to just beginning.


    Alonso, Villa accompanied Spain, who was about to regenerate the cocoon, and played another World Cup that was numb and accustomed to the outside world. The qualifier king was either lacking luck or being depressed at the crucial moment in the main game, but they have arrived on the eve of dawn The bright glory is not far from them.


    The most regrettable thing is Henry. Although he is not the protagonist, Zidane was sent off with a red card to retire, but the French team was so close to the World Cup. Henry also hopes to win the Hercules Cup for the second time. , But the reality is not satisfactory.


    The young Messi also went to the World Cup for a lap, but it is a pity that Argentina is still continuing the Menotism, pursuing offensive and romance. The scene does look wonderful, compared to the 3313 that Bersana was mocked by the world four years ago. More, also left more than 20 classic goals in the World Cup team pass and cut the goal after the break, but this still can not allow Argentina to go further, but it is Italy¡¯s defensive supremacy, similar to Argentina¡¯s Bilardo¡¯s The style finally reached the top of the world. For Messi, this was an experience, able to score goals and chat with masturbation.


    As the World Cup ended, Aldridge and his family returned to London, and the club gave the World Cup players more holiday breaks.


    Aldridge told the club staff to report to him the movements in Italy every day.


    Millwall''s plan for the summer transfer period is not much, but it is more critical and important.


    Goalkeeper!


    Don''t worry too much about other positions. Years of gradual and sound management have made them strong and strong, and the team lineup is very reasonable.


    The only place where surgery is required is the goalkeeper position.


    Millwall needs a world-class goalkeeper!


    Take the team''s strength to the next level and approach perfection!

 Chapter 1180： The worlds first goalkeeper

    In European football in 2006, the most sensational thing was not Italy''s aspiration to the World Cup, nor Millwall''s seventh title in the Champions League, but the "telephone door" incident in Serie A.


    On the eve of the start of the World Cup, beginning in May, the "telephone door" was disclosed to the investigation, and then the preliminary penalty results were announced. In more than two months, the Italian football has experienced turbulence.


    The chairman of the Football Association resigned, the Juventus board of directors resigned collectively, the prosecutor intervened in the investigation, the collapse of the GEA Group, the brand value of Serie A that began to decline since the beginning of the new century, after the "telephone door" incident broke out, Serie A averaged Attendance fell below 20,000!


    In the process of continuous fermentation and upgrading of this series of eye-catching events, the Italian transfer market was ushered in by the collapse of GEA Group in Italy, and Juventus general manager Mogi announced that he would withdraw from football and will face prosecution. It also marked the end of the years of Cold War between Millwall and Juventus.


    The grudges between Aldridge and Mogi were well known.


    And as long as Mogi stays in Juventus, Millwall will not have any contact with Juventus, including player transfers, friendly matches, the same commercial activity, etc., which are all opposing content of the Cold War. Now, Mogi leaves With Juventus, it seems to be very difficult to resume normal communication between the two clubs. After all, the relationship between clubs and clubs was changed, not individuals.


    Juventus have been deprived of the league title for the past two seasons, and AC Milan has almost missed the Champions League next season. Fortunately, in the final decision of Italy, AC Milan''s penalty was reduced to allow AC Milan to participate in the Champions League next season.


    When such a catastrophic situation came, Lippi led Italy to win the World Cup championship, which is not a small miracle. After all, when the head coach understands that if the people are scattered, the team will not be easy to bring, and the panic of Italian football, There are also international football teams facing investigations and being accused of being suspected in the national team.


    On July 25th, Millwall''s new season preparations have begun. In the summer of the competition year, Millwall will not go outside to play commercial games. Instead, he organized a small friendship cup titled by the sponsor at the Lion King Stadium. Inter Milan, Bayern Munich, Lyon came to participate.


    At this time, Aldridge was still paying attention to the Italian football, and did not rush.


    On this day, the result of the judgment of the telephone door in Italy (second trial) announced that it could almost be said that the telephone door had settled, and the penalty was not allowed to turn over.


    Among them, Juventus was the worst. Not only were they deprived of two league titles, but they were directly shot down to the second level!


    The fine imposed on Juventus is only a small amount, not worth mentioning, but the negative impact of the accusations suffered by Juventus is difficult to describe. With the fall from Serie A to Grade B, the future financial revenue will be greatly reduced, and not only Only one season.


    It is conceivable that last season, Juventus had the league and the revenue of the Champions League.


    Next season, only the second division.


    Even if he returns to the first division next season, there is still no Champions League income.


    The lowest buffer is two years.


    But it also counts the losses caused by sponsors abandoning them!


    In May, Juventus'' stocks began to depreciate rapidly, and when the penalty was irreversible, it was almost a pile of waste paper.


    In order to ease the huge financial pressure, Juventus had to sell the star.


    At the end of July, Aldridge led the Millwall negotiating team to board the club''s exclusive flight to Turin!


    As soon as he got off the plane, the Italian media reporter who got the news came to the airport to "greet".


    Recently, Turin has been very lively, and has almost become the European player trade market.


    Teams interested in the players in Juventus sent representatives to flock.


    After many reporters took photos and wanted to meet the interview, Aldridge steadily walked outside the airport. Before getting in the car, he received a call and saw a caller ID, he couldn''t help smiling.


    "Hi, old friend, every time I come to Italy, you always greet me first, ha ha."


    The caller really surprised him: Galliani.


    AC Milan also suffered punishment. Galliani, as one of the accused, was not allowed to participate in football affairs within a year before the final penalty was reduced, similar to "a year of suspension."


    "Oh, I saw the news, but I didn''t expect that you would take the initiative to go to Turin. Oh, the relationship between Millwall and Juventus..."


    "At this moment, I don''t have any revenge. Even Juventus always fight against Millwall at the G14 summit, but we have to show some demeanor. Anyway, they are also allies of our G14 group. Now Juventus Mills is in trouble, and of course Millwall is coming to send warmth."


    Juventus'' downgrade, in addition to the earthquake effect in Italy, also has a certain impact inside the G14. Since it was not for the European war, plus the "telephone door" incident, Juventus''s position within the G14 is bound to plummet, and The power of Italy in the G14 will be jointly supported by AC Milan and Inter Milan, although Inter Milan is the biggest beneficiary of the "telephone door", but in G14, Inter Milan¡¯s status will not be greatly improved, resulting from the European War In any case, Inter Milan can''t be compared with AC Milan''s reputation and influence, but fortunately, Millwall and Milan have a good relationship. They only need to support Millwall.


    "Ha, haha, cough cough, send warmth, send warmth, um, which player Juventus did Millwall look at?"


    Galliani also stopped talking and went straight to the subject.


    Listening to his tone, Aldrich guessed that AC Milan also seemed to be planning a deal with Juventus.


    Let''s send warmth together.


    "Old friend, if the content of your conversation with me is exposed, is it bad for you? You seem to be banned from participating in football affairs? Why? It¡¯s uncomfortable if you don¡¯t work, right? Or you say first, AC Milan Which player of Juventus."


    The other end of the phone was silent for a long time.


    AC Milan really wanted to take some players from Juventus, including 28-year-old Buffon!


    Galliani called to have a spying military idea, and turned back to AC Milan to quietly report a letter.


    But he really can''t guess which player Aldridge was aiming for when he came to Turin this time.


    Maybe you want to bring Trezeguet back to Lion King Stadium?


    Camoranesi is not bad.


    Buffon...


    Galliani was really a little bluffed by Aldridge. If he and Aldrich discussed the transfer of players, the content of the phone was exposed. In this sensitive period, he is in the top of the crime. For the case being appealed There is no slight benefit.


    "Haha, old friend, I was kidding. If you want to know, then I will tell you."


    "Don''t, don''t, I just called to say hello! Just a simple greeting!"


    "Hi, just chat, don''t worry. To be honest, Millwall''s goalkeeper position needs to be changed, so I''m here to see if I can invite Buffon to join Millwall."


    "Oh, oh, good, good, then I won''t disturb you, all the way."


    "Thank you, if you have time to come to Turin, we can have dinner together."


    "No, no, I''ve been busy recently, busy."


    Aldridge hangs up the phone with a smile after getting on the bus.


    Whether AC Milan is interested in Buffon, he doesn''t care.


    He just came to make trades normally and didn''t want to be involved in too many intriguing games.


    The team from Millwall arrived at the Juventus Club in the storm.


    The former chairman has become an honorary chairman. With the collective resignation of the board of directors, Juventus'' management also ushered in a major reshuffle.


    The new chairman is Geely.


    This is an open and formal player transfer negotiation.


    Millwall didn¡¯t hide, and Aldridge¡¯s personal presence represented the club¡¯s ambitions.


    In front of Geely, after the initial exchanges between the two parties, Aldridge went straight to the theme, and immediately showed that he wanted to buy Buffon. The transfer fee was priced at 25 million euros!


    As Buffon, who maintains the value of the world''s first goalkeeper transfer, this price is low.


    However, as analyzed by the Italian media, even if Buffon transfers to AC Milan, the latter will not be able to withdraw more than this amount of cash, and may even have to use players to offset the price.


    After several hours of negotiations, Millwall finally raised the offer to 35 million euros!


    Faced with this very attractive price for Juventus, Juventus'' new management did not agree in a single word. They just took a step back and gave Buffon the choice. If Buffon was willing to transfer, then The deal was negotiated. If Buffon did not want to, Juventus would have to spend most of his time trying to get rid of the iron and sell the iron.


    It is undeniable that Buffon is 28 years old this year, and his appearance rate is not stable, always accompanied by minor injuries and illnesses.


    Juventus is now considering that as one of the biggest heroes to win the World Cup, Buffon''s worth is now the highest, and the more he will be, the cheaper his worth will be.


    Second, how many years does Juventus need to return to Europe''s top ranks? Juventus management is not aware of it now, nor dare to have too optimistic illusions.


    Two or three years later, Buffon is over 30 years old. What will happen to the level of competition?


    No one dared to pack tickets.


    In terms of playing in the second division next season, Buffon¡¯s stay at Juventus is definitely an overkill.


    The price given by Millwall is very sincere.


    The difference between the 51.4 million euros spent by Buffon¡¯s transfer from Parma that year was only 16.4 million euros. Moreover, the transaction was also liquidated in Italian football that year. How much money Tus spent, only this year''s party was aware of this account.

 Chapter 1181： Fantasy combination

    Needless to say, in 2006, the world''s first goalkeepers were Buffon, Casillas, Kahn, Renner, and Van der Sar, and they could not be compared with Buffon in the goalkeeper''s comprehensive score data.


    Millwall has always been very popular in the transfer market, which is very consistent with the style of Audridge.


    In only half a day, they opened the door of Juventus and could talk to Buffon.


    Before that, Buffon was not in a hurry to meet Millwall''s representative. He talked with his agent Martina at home.


    "Really? The people of Millwall came to Turin, hoping to buy me?"


    Buffon asked his agent with uncertain tone.


    Martina nodded in excitement, and said in a deep voice: "To be sure, Juventus has agreed to a transfer price of 35 million euros, which is already much higher than their psychological price. AC Milan only had to They will agree for about 25 million euros, but they need Abbiati, who was rented last season, to stay in Turin to replace you, but now, with 35 million euros, they can re-find a goalkeeper, no need Make troublesome transactions with AC Milan."


    "is it?"


    Buffon lowered his head and murmured.


    He actually made plans to transfer. Juventus and AC Milan''s "Holy League" deal seems to have come to fruition. Abbiati, who rented the team from AC Milan last season, was because he was injured. In the absence and representing the team as the main goalkeeper, the league and the Champions League, he played only 22 times last season.


    "Is the news real? Millwall''s coach is here too?"


    Buffono understood how the club had changed his transfer operation, and his expression was a little bit excited.


    Millwall!


    Seven Champions League titles in the past 9 seasons!


    Martina said cheerfully: "Of course it is true! He will come here to show that he attaches great importance to you! Rest assured, everything is true! The best goalkeeper in the world, the best head coach in the world, The strongest club in the world, this is the most wonderful combination!"


    Buffon grinned silently, then frowned again, saying: "But I heard David talk about the head coach, he said that Audrey Hall is very good to the players, he would not let me go to the bench Right? Palyuka has just retired and Millwall goalkeeper is missing."


    Martina waved his hand almost and wanted to dance in place. He smiled and said: "Don''t be stupid! Aldrich Hall is not a fool. Who are you? Buffon! World champion goalkeeper, Millwall''s main force Who is the goalkeeper? Bout! He is the third goalkeeper of the German team in the World Cup. Buy you back to replace Bout? How is it possible? Millwall is well-known in the transfer market for a good budget, spending 35 million euros Buy a substitute? I''d rather believe that the world will be destroyed tomorrow! Be prepared, you will wear a Millwall jersey, and you will travel from Italy to London together with Aldrich Hall, this will definitely be a A great transfer, like Aldrich Hall personally brought Nesta to England from Italy four years ago!"


    Buffon lowered his head and smiled, saying that not being excited was fake.


    Especially in this "telephone door" incident, he also encountered accusations, but it has nothing to do with manipulating the game, but gambling. As for whether he has wagered his team to influence the results, it is impossible to know.


    Buffon didn''t speak with a smile, but his agent was so excited that he talked more and more.


    "The World Cup champion goalkeeper, the world''s first goalkeeper, this is not enough, you will be the big hit of the annual Golden Globe Awards! Look, Cannavaro is smart and rushed directly into the arms of Real Madrid. If you stay in Juventus, it will be behind him in the competition, God, it is unimaginable, the Italian second division, that will make you completely disappear in the public''s vision, go to Millwall, it will make you more dazzling, Even more glorious! If Mill Walken builds momentum for you, do you know what will happen? You will be the second goalkeeper to win the Golden Globe after Yasin! This is great! Yes, I must be with Mill Wall added this condition to the negotiations and got their commitment, fully supporting you to impact the Golden Globe Award!"


    Buffon''s wide-eyed expression looked shocked.


    It is true that after Italy won the World Cup, there was a voice in the media to talk about Italian players to win the Golden Globe.


    However, Italy''s defense is the key, so the eyes of the outside world are focused on Buffon and Cannavaro.


    Originally, if Nesta did not miss the knockout due to injury, if he can win the championship with the team as the mainstay of the whole process, with the prestige accumulated in Millwall in these years, the 30-year-old Nesta will win the Golden Globe. Higher than Cannavaro and Buffon, and will open a clear gap.


    But Nesta was injured and didn''t play in the knockout. Materazzi performed very well, but Zidane''s one was on the contrary. Materazzi became a wicked man. He suspected that he had insulting words to provoke Zidane. This makes Materazzi become a lot of fans, and the enemy of the media, after all, the media also have a position, such as the French media!


    Cannavaro went to Real Madrid. When Juventus fell during this period, his attention in Real Madrid will not be affected, and it will even improve compared to Serie A, which will be selected in the Golden Globe Awards. Brush a lot of impression points.


    Buffon hadn''t thought of this, but his agent thought of it!


    So this strengthened his determination to travel to Millwall!


    Aldridge participated in the meeting between the club¡¯s negotiating team and Buffon.


    Both sides are very enthusiastic. After entering the theme, Buffon''s agent made three requirements.


    The first is the guarantee of the main position.


    If Millwall does not give the main position, Buffon will certainly not transfer.


    At this point Aldrich made a promise in person, telling Buffon openly that he would be Millwall''s main goalkeeper.


    Although Buffon was curious how Aldridge persuaded Bute to be willing to play the bench, but since Aldrich had promised in person, he was relieved.


    As an outsider, it is impossible to understand the situation within the Millwall team.


    The continuous high-level battles for many years will bring mental fatigue to the players. Secondly, the players'' aggressiveness will also decline when they return to full load for consecutive seasons, and they will inevitably have a rest or the idea of ??stopping.


    Therefore, Aldridge is always providing fresh blood to the team and accelerating the metabolism.


    The second point is contract treatment.


    Millwall is also very generous in this regard.


    They want to buy the goalkeeper with the global strength first, the peak state, and the age of the year they were playing. The treatment gave Buffon the highest level in the goalkeeper field in the world. It is not a humiliation of his name, but also a Millwall. Embodiment of sincerity.


    The third point is to hope that Millwall will support Buffon¡¯s Golden Globe at the end of the competition.


    Aldridge didn''t agree.


    He made some considerations.


    With Millwall''s dominance in Europe, many players on the team are popular candidates for the Golden Globe Awards, and for many years in a row.


    However, Henry''s performance has declined last season, and there are not many stunning and beautiful performances in the World Cup, and they lost directly to Italy.


    Ronaldinho is even worse. The "chaos" of Brazil''s performance is much lower than the expectations of the outside world. Furthermore, it is too difficult to win the Golden Globe for the third consecutive year. Taking advantage of the competition year, the judges may be tired. Always choose among those names.


    Nesta is missing the best time!


    The World Cup''s slightly soy sauce role means that he simply cannot become a hit.


    As for other players, either the prestige is insufficient, or they have just been recognized as a superstar, but it coincides with the World Cup year, and the national team is not showing up.


    But Aldridge still has a thought in mind: maybe Ronaldo has a chance!


    Yes, the Golden Globe Awards are not based on season performance, but on annual performance.


    Cristiano Ronaldo performed generally in the first half of last season, but after being awakened by Aldridge, he finally ushered in the second half of the season with an outbreak of heavy accumulation, especially the Champions League final also scored twice, and finally became a lore. In the classics, Portugal won the best ranking in 40 years at the World Cup. Despite being the fourth place, Cristiano Ronaldo can also count.


    The only negative factor is: In terms of media momentum, Fleet Street will definitely not support Ronaldo!


    It''s been more than half a month since the World Cup ended, and there are still Fleet Street media condemning Ronaldo. Some fans who hate Millwall also took the opportunity to make trouble, besieging Ronaldo''s home in London, insulting, and threatening Ronaldo.


    The grudges at the World Cup will take time to fade, but Aldridge does not know how long this time will be.


    A month? Two months?


    If it is a year, Cristiano Ronaldo is going to win the Golden Globe Awards this year, which is too difficult, so big that he must use the performance of the stadium to fight back the world with the appearance of an absolute strongman when almost everyone is targeting him! Make everyone shut up, eclipsing contemporaries!


    For his disciples, Aldridge certainly has an emotional tilt, and Buffon is not his player yet, so at this point, he cannot promise anything.


    So Millwall can only use the diplomatic rhetoric to deal with Buffon, meaning roughly, Millwall players get the Golden Globe. Although the club will do public relations work, it will not focus on a certain player. In 2010, Millwall players won the Golden Ball Award, and three teammates were ranked in the first, second, and third places. If Millwall officials can¡¯t keep their players as fair as possible, this will make the players unhappy and will be disappointed with the team. Internal solidarity is very detrimental.


    In the end, after a short period of negotiation, Buffon also made concessions. After all, they proposed three conditions. Millwall''s first two promised very happily, and the last one was not rejected.


    In itself, Buffon''s joining Millwall is a good momentum for Buffon''s competition for the Golden Globe Awards!


    Staying in Juventus and falling into the second level, how many people will pay attention to Buffon''s competitive performance in the next six months?


    Oh, only the national team can remind him of it on match day.

 Chapter 1182： Strong wind

    Just as Aldridge personally brought back Nesta from Italy four years ago, in the summer of 2006, Aldridge brought back the first goalkeeper Buffon from Italy!


    This transfer will shake Europe!


    The contemporary king, Millwall, finally strengthened the weak links that have been criticized by the outside world for a long time. It is the last piece of the perfect lineup!


    Nesta and De Rossi, Balzali Italian players in these teams publicly expressed their welcome to Buffon, and Buffon quickly entered the role, Audric wanted to give him some more holidays, but he refused, It seems that he wants to give fans and the outside world a good impression. When he played the Friendship Cup in the Lion King Stadium, he made his debut, and his performance was very eye-catching!


    The goalkeeper''s eye-catching is definitely a problem with defense.


    Indeed, Inter Milan, Bayern Munich, Lyon, three teams came to the Lion King stadium is very important to this friendly match, the sponsor''s appearance fee is not low!


    Millwall is more convergent. After all, there are too many players in the team participating in the World Cup, and Nesta is still recovering, and the defense is not very satisfactory. Therefore, Buffon was given a chance to perform.


    When the new season is approaching, Aldridge examines the team''s lineup. In the new season, he needs to focus on training the top players are Messi and Ramos. Players in other positions can almost say that 3 to 5 years will not Where there are hidden talents, Millwall''s prosperity will be in a stable state in a large cycle in the future.


    European media is slightly pessimistic about the preseason tour of the new season: no matter how many powerful giants, top teams, a sword of Damocles hangs above these teams, that is the super first-class king ball Team Millwall!


    The reign of the mad lion does not know how long it will last, but their despair is that there is no sign of decline!


    A team needs only about 25 people, and Millwall forms a whole through players of different strength levels, so that they are internally balanced, that is to say, than the main players, their main force is the most top European talents. Compared to the substitutes, their substitutes are also much better than those of other teams. Compared to the future, the young player resources they have made all of Europe salivate.


    A team cannot have 25 world-class players. Even if you buy 25 world-class players, it will only form a chaotic team. Millwall¡¯s team-building model makes this clear and reduces conflict within the team. To provide a good competitive environment, this is also the conclusion that the potential new star has continuously released over the years and summed up his experience.


    Before the start of the new season of the Premier League, Chelsea ushered in a new coach. Abu not only funded the Russian Football Association to hire Hiddink, but also let Hiddink play a part-time job to coach Chelsea!


    For the doubts of the outside world, it is believed that Hiddink''s double-use is harmful to the team, and Chelsea vaguely stated that there is a precedent for success in England!


    This makes the outside world laugh.


    Chelsea actually used its rival Millwall as a shield.


    Of course, that recent example, and successful, is naturally Aldrich.


    Aldridge didn''t care about the news of Chelsea''s coaching change, even if Fleet Street would turn over the South Korean team led by Hiddink at the World Cup four years ago, he tried to increase the new season''s Premier League coaches. Aldrich and Hiddink have not yet played against each other, but they have been described by the outside world as "dead rivals".


    This is in line with the relationship between Millwall and Chelsea.


    The new season kicked off, Millwall did not destroy the crowds of the roads as expected, and even sharply fell significantly compared to last season.


    Throughout August, the Community Shield and the League, they all won by 1:0, and one of them won by penalty kick. In the European Super Cup, it was difficult to beat Sevelli in extra time 2-1 Ya.


    Ronaldinho''s state fell unpredictably, but Henry also seemed to be in a state of languishment, which made Aldridge somewhat caught off guard.


    The European first superstar who has been in the past five years, may have also won the Champions League six championships, the ambition fell, the heavy blow brought by the hate of the World Cup finals, the players made the most important determination in the game, Henry began to take off Go to mythic coat.


    Aldridge had to let Villa start to replace Henry. At the same time, Cristiano Ronaldo''s difficulties in England exceeded Aldridge''s expectations.


    In England, if Millwall plays away, from the beginning to the end of the game, as long as Ronaldo touches the ball, the opponent''s fans will send a harsh booing. If he is violated by the opponent, the opponent''s fans will clap.


    Aldrich did enough to protect Ronaldo in front of the media. He also did not want to keep his wings open to protect him, so he began to silence and let Ronaldo walk out of this dilemma.


    In October, Millwall defeated Bayern Munich in the Champions League away, 1:4!


    Despite the disadvantages of the three main defenders who were absent due to injury in that game, Ronaldinho and Henry''s performance was almost the same as sleepwalking. Aldridge also criticized the team''s performance after that game. Ronaldinho and Henry were put on the bench.


    European media began to clamor that Ronaldinho and Henry would be cleaned by Aldridge, but Aldridge came forward and denied this.


    In November, Nesta came back, Messi completely established the main position.


    Millwall''s new frontcourt attack group takes shape.


    Attacking groups with Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, Villa and Messi as the main force began to burst into power.


    Although Cristiano Ronaldo is still in adversity, Villa, Messi and Kaka passed the break-in period and began to siege Millwall to continue sweeping Europe.


    The UEFA Champions League defeat in October was accidental and happened suddenly against the background of the Millwall League. In the first half of the season, Millwall laid the lead, but they did not rely on offense. There is always a feeling of instability. Buffon only joined the team for three months, and the media concluded that the value-for-money deal!


    Millwall played a stunning record of 12 rounds without conceding goals in the league. Since mid-November, the number of goals has rebounded and the offensive power has burst again.


    At the end of November, Buffon''s outstanding performance in the World Cup and the eye-catching performance after joining Millwall, especially when he first came to the Premier League, he wrote a record of the goalkeeper''s longest goal without losing the ball, which made him win the appreciation of the judges. , With a slight advantage over the national teammate Cannavaro was elected the Golden Globe winner of the year!


    In December, Aldridge was absent from the team for a weekend league and was replaced by assistant Boas.


    Because he took his family and Naji to Budapest, Hungary, to attend Puskas'' funeral...


    During this time, Aldridge was not in a good mood, so if he left, his heart would always be inseparable.


    After going through 2006, in the first half of the new season, Millwall still led the Premier League with an unstoppable momentum. Despite the sudden defeat in the group stage in the Champions League, it still pressed the Bayern Munich group to advance to the top.


    Aldridge is pleased that Messi''s momentum has risen, especially in the context of Fleet Street "condemning" Ronaldo. Fleet Street is inseparable from Millwall, they need to report Millwall, they need to follow Millwall for a long time, because This is the pride of English football. The English club is based on the world''s flag, so in the report, there is a clear tendency to suppress Ronaldo and hold red Messi, trying to make Ronaldo lose its influence and suppress him as much as possible.


    And between Ronaldo and Messi seems to be brewing a "king of war"!


    It is good to have a fight. Healthy competition will promote the team''s aggressiveness, but if it is a bad fight, it may cause the team to fall into internal friction.


    In January 2007, the most important event in European football is the upcoming UEFA presidential election!


    Between the 77-year-old Johansson and the 52-year-old Platini, there is a tradition and cutting edge, the old and the young are fighting for the dragon!


    Despite G14''s full support for Johansson for another term!


    But relative to UEFA''s voting structure, G14''s voice is actually too small.


    For example, Millwall and Manchester United, behind the scenes, can only promote the representatives of England in UEFA to support Johansson!


    Don''t look at the Milan duo and Juventus in Italy, but in fact the only force that can be used is the representative of Italy.


    G14 is an elite group, and elite means a minority!


    Under a broad "democratic system", the minority cannot be in power.


    In the end, Johansson lost to Platini with a slight advantage of 23 votes to 27 votes!


    At the same time, FIFA passed a resolution and appointed Beckenbauer as the FIFA Executive Committee.


    Beckenbauer''s wishful thinking completely fell through!


    You know, just half a year ago, when he changed his strategy, he even communicated with the German government and won the support of the German government, which prompted the German female Chancellor Angela Merkel to award FIFA President Blatter the highest German medal of honor: the National Cross Medal!


    But Johansson failed to defend this European territory. When Platini became the new UEFA president, Platini also automatically became the vice chairman of FIFA!


    Originally, in Beckenbauer''s plan, the FIFA vice chairman will also be Johansson. He became the FIFA executive committee. He and Johansson together put pressure on Blatter. The next FIFA chairman, by Beken Ball replaced it.


    Now, everything is over!


    This also led to Beckenbauer''s frustration. When he was on the executive board, he announced his retirement for family reasons within a few years.


    Throughout January, UEFA was in flames of war.


    G14 is on the verge of unprecedented turmoil and division!


    Externally, headed by Millwall, Manchester United, AC Milan, Bayern Munich Club, solemnly and seriously warned Platini not to come!


    Internally, G14 wants to suppress the "traitors" from France!


    During the Platini campaign, the boss of the Ligue 1 class Lyon publicly supported Platini, Marseille, and Paris Saint-Germain then echoed!


    Obviously, Platini''s French background makes the French team that has no right to speak for a long time in the G14 eager to get a thick thigh!

 Chapter 1183： Word games

    G14 itself does not want to be too public during the UEFA campaign, and wants to be low-key, which can dilute Johnson¡¯s impression of fighting G14 during his past ruling. After all, UEFA has been reforming for years and has the influence of the G14 will behind the scenes.


    But after Platini made public his election platform, G14, especially the upper elite, could not be silent.


    Let¡¯s take a look at Platini¡¯s campaign program, or the reform policy he promised.


    Except for some beautiful words on the mouth, what is the most important thing, such as "returning football to players", "unity of the football world", "against racial discrimination and doping", are actually two points.


    First: Say no to G14!


    This shows the position!


    Second, reform the Champions League!


    As he said: "Europe is not the United States, nor can the UEFA Champions League learn from the NBA. Since any member of UEFA can participate in the European Cup, so should the Champions League. Since Andorra has the right Ford is against England, and the Malta club players are also eligible to see Ronaldinho at home."


    If it is implemented, what will be reformed?


    Relentlessly want to cut the number of giants!


    There can be at most 3 teams in a country in the Champions League!


    It is certainly not possible to do this directly, but he also came up with a compromise!


    Eligibility to advance directly to the Champions League! And the qualification draw rules!


    In the past, there were only 16 places directly entering the Champions League, and Platini will increase to 22, which includes giving directly to the 11th to 13th countries in Europe. The championship team will Get a straight pass to the Champions League!


    The qualifier rules will be changed to "no seed team"!


    This means that in the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, and Bundesliga, in the top four and top five European leagues, teams that have qualified for the Champions League play-offs, there is a high probability that they will directly talk in the play-offs!


    As a result, the number of giants entering the race will be relatively reduced!


    Relatively speaking, the relatively weaker teams entering the qualifying game will have a lower chance of encountering the giants, and the probability of entering the main game will also increase!


    At this point, the G14 is not alone, in addition to the giants to warn Platini not to change the rules without authorization, the media from the football powers are also on the G14 side.


    For example, the BBC predicts pessimistically: if Platini fulfills all his promises, when that day comes, Platini will be blamed the most in his life, and only then will fans know that they are familiar with The Champions League that I loved has been ruined.


    Originally, the gap between the strength and weakness in the Champions League is already obvious, just like the top Millwall can use all substitute players to complete the qualifying in the group stage. There are more and more dragon sets to accompany the prince to read. The Champions League, this The gold content of the "championship" will be greatly reduced!


    There must also be differences of interests within the G14. Like Lyon, despite the completion of many years of domestic rule, in the Champions League, they have always been either dark horses or soy sauces. Their strength has not been widely recognized, and their economic interests have fallen. great.


    Will Platini''s reforms benefit Lyon?


    Have!


    He is the class leader in Ligue 1 and he can directly enter the Champions League without playing a play-off.


    Then there are few powerful players in the Champions League, for example, the top four teams in the Premier League, Millwall needless to say, Lyon will definitely die if he meets! Chelsea also abused him without consultation, Manchester United took it seriously, and it was nothing to crush Lyon. Liverpool won the fourth last season. Prior to Arsenal, these two teams, Lyon met, it is hard to say that they are absolutely sure, even fearful. of!


    If Liverpool playing in the playoffs this season or a team in the future Premier League title group encounters an Italian or Spanish team in the playoffs, they are eliminated, or no matter who is eliminated, who is promoted, it is equivalent to help Lyon improve In the Champions League, going further increases the probability of a small margin.


    Coupled with Platini''s French background, Lyon can''t wait to choose betrayal!


    Lyon''s blatant rebellion has little effect on the UEFA presidential campaign, but it still has some impact.


    Looking at all Europe, the envy and jealous hats of the G14 are all over the place. Platini said no to the G14, that is, to cater to the weaker masses of these league-strength teams. Platini is not yet in position, Lyon So it turned out, which made these people see the hope of G14''s downfall! Of course, he will support Platini more firmly!


    After the UEFA elections, the G14 held a temporary summit. At this meeting in Brussels, Millwall represented Carter as the rotating chairman and faced off the members of the three clubs in France. Even the dirty words were scolded for export!


    And Millwall''s allies, those elite clubs that also resisted Platini, stood on the side of Millwall. The meeting that day was more like a fighting conference, and finally Carter even made a ruthless speech.


    "If you can''t unite with us! Okay, you get out of G14, we will have new members to join in!"


    The trend of G14 is also followed by outside media.


    At the end of the meeting, Carter left the hotel the same as the other delegates. The other people were expressionless, making people wonder what was discussed in the meeting, while Carter was smiling, judging from his previous outrage in the meeting. Two people.


    This is the basic rule of the football circle: internal problems, internal solutions!


    Premier League boss''s round table meeting is also such a tradition, not surprising.


    In secret meetings, stabbing each other with a knife, and leaving the meeting with a unified position can still talk and laugh and give the outside world an illusion.


    This is also an important reason why the Premier League can fight against the FA for a long time and be independent.


    Unity! Unity for the benefit!


    But just after Carter returned to London by plane, he just got off the plane, he received a call from his assistant, and suddenly yelled: "UEFA can''t be so shameless! Ask me the best team of lawyers, if you can''t, just call them. lawsuit!"


    The Champions League knockout is about to take place. Before that, there will be a ceremony. Millwall needs to return the Champions League trophy won last season to UEFA because it is a genuine trophy. At the same time, UEFA will give Millwall a reduced version. Replica trophy for club collection.


    So, when UEFA chose the place and time to return the trophy, they sent a fax to Millwall Club to officially inform them about it!


    The problem is coming!


    In 2004, 2005, and 2006, Millwall won the Champions League consecutively, three consecutive championships!


    They have the right to keep this UEFA Champions League trophy forever!


    UEFA want to get it back now?


    Aldridge and Carter stood in the club meeting room window smoking.


    In the conference room, the staff is busy, the focus is on UEFA''s rules for the Champions League.


    It was already evening, and Carter came back to the club in the afternoon to deal with it.


    Aldridge spit smoke out of the window, and sighed with interest, "Politics..."


    The UEFA Champions League is the most important brand under UEFA, and as the organizer, UEFA must have absolute authority.


    Imagine that there is only one UEFA Champions League authentic trophy, but Millwall has two authentic trophy. UEFA is not happy to see this happen, plus Platini will suppress the G14, reform the Champions League, etc. Factors, UEFA is now making such a thing, Aldridge is not too surprised.


    A staff member suddenly stood up and said: "Boss, UEFA¡¯s rules are ambiguous. UEFA¡¯s official response is: when Millwall won the Champions League for the fifth time, the statistics of the number of times the authentic trophy was retained were cleared. We are now two consecutive championships, not three consecutive championships."


    Carter rushed to the crown and said angrily: "Fuck! I don''t know if I will postpone the propaganda plan for engraving the name on the trophy! UEFA, shamelessness must have a limit!"


    In fact, Carter has studied the rules before, so most of them can understand what word game UEFA is playing.


    Teams that have won three consecutive championships or accumulated five consecutive championships have the right to retain the Champions League authentic trophy, and after the team has achieved three consecutive championships or accumulated five championships, the statistics are cleared.


    In other words, Millwall¡¯s 2004 Champions League championship was listed as the zero clearing limit for a total of five times.


    In fact, combined with the context of rules, this cumulative five times should refer to the time when the Champions League authentic trophy is retained!


    But when setting the rules that year, in addition to Real Madrid, only a few teams have achieved three consecutive championships, and only Real Madrid has accumulated more than 5 championships!


    Therefore, when the rules were determined at that time, there was not much problem, and even if there were problems, it was not something that those in power should worry about.


    Now being used by UEFA, Millwall can only eat a dumb loss, trophy, to be returned to UEFA.


    Carter was annoyed that in the summer of 2005, when Southgate retired, Millwall had just displayed a Champions League authentic trophy with the name of the legendary player engraved on it, and got another one in the summer of 2006. The club intends to push back The method of engraving the player''s name on it is not only to hang the appetite of the player, but also to avoid the same publicity strategy for two consecutive years to make the outside world tired, and the effect is definitely not optimistic.


    Well now, Millwall is going to return the trophy to Zhao. If it is true that UEFA has notified them to return the trophy, they will go alone and engrave the name on the trophy, it is a tear with UEFA!


    "Okay, so be it."


    Aldridge waited for an unexpected result. Although UEFA has done this ugly, it must have been prepared to allow Millwall to slap in the face, then everyone in UEFA can White lived.


    Moreover, even if there is controversy now, it is only temporary. After a year or two, the smoke disappears, and no one will care about what happened today.


    However, before Aldridge led his team to Italy to challenge Inter Milan, he smiled lightly before the UEFA Champions League press conference: "Maybe we and UEFA have differences on the retention of the UEFA Champions League trophy, but it does not matter. , Millwall cooperated with UEFA, we returned the trophy to UEFA, as long as we continue to defend the Champions League this year, we can get the second UEFA Champions League trophy, huh, unless, UEFA in the next three months Immediately changed the rules for the retention of the Champions League trophy, and no longer keep the authentic trophy for the club forever."

 Chapter 1184： Is it a coincidence?

    When Platini saw Millwall''s pre-match press conference before going to Italy at UEFA headquarters, he was furious at the headquarters!


    Aldridge has already made it clear!


    If you have the ability, you can modify the rules immediately!


    Otherwise, when I defend the Champions League three months later, UEFA will obediently send the Champions League real trophy!


    But if UEFA really changes the rules at this juncture, it will be laughed at by the world!


    Platini, who made his debut in Dabao, is under pressure, especially in the Champions League, where the giants are still the ruling group.


    Especially the Premier League team.


    Millwall, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea.


    The top 16 places, the Premier League took four!


    And because of the rules of the draw of the top 16, they will not meet, according to the strong momentum of the Premier League at this time, maybe the top 8 places, the Premier League will occupy half of the country, even if the UEFA team moves to let them catch the fight, they can break into the top four. , There will still be two Premier League teams!


    What he promised seems to be unfulfilled in the short term.


    The top priority in front of him is: if Millwall wins the Champions League for four consecutive times, UEFA will not only award the authentic trophy to Millwall once, but it will be laughable and generous. At the same time, the European pattern is more difficult to change. Mill Wall Qiang, the attention it brings to the Premier League will also increase. In contrast, the Premier League is a league, and the distribution system will benefit other teams. Unlike La Liga, Real Madrid Barcelona is exclusive to other 18 teams. interest.


    In the middle of the night alone, Platini''s heart whispered: Can''t let Millwall defend... Can''t let Millwall defend...


    On February 21, Millwall challenged Inter Milan. This is the second consecutive season that the two teams met in the European War. As the biggest beneficiary of the "Phone Gate" event, Inter Milan''s lineup strength has been well supplemented. Strong, such as the introduction of Ibrahimovic on the front line, the digging of Maicon from Ligue 1, the addition of the magical Grosso and so on.


    Mancini drummed up a set of 4312 formations that looked very powerful in Inter Milan in Italy. In the league, he was a must-have in the league, and his technical and tactical system was praised by the outside world.


    In fact, to put it bluntly, Inter Milan''s overall strength crushes other opponents in the league. It''s that simple. It doesn''t make much sense to talk about the pros and cons of technology and tactics when the strength is weak.


    Millwall will play the League Cup final on the weekend after 4 days, so they will be slightly conservative in the first leg of the Champions League knockout, but on the scene, the Serie A leader lost his face at home and was completely suppressed by Millwall!


    Aldrich¡¯s requirements before the game are simple: there may not be great opportunities, but they must be seized!


    They did not play a destructive rhythm, but based on control.


    But at the end of the 90-minute game, the score is 0:0.


    Aldridge was furious after returning to the locker room after the game.


    Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, they were scolded by his head and face!


    "This is your performance? Do you want to score yourself? But what? You can''t score! Why don''t you pass when your teammates have a chance? Why is someone in front of you blocking your shooting line and force yourself? You have failed your teammates Our efforts! You disappointed me too much! Selfishness! Remember to me that Millwall¡¯s team interests will always be the first! After returning to the club, your vacation will be cancelled and you will stay in the youth team¡¯s locker room. Take a good look at the slogans posted on the walls. The slogans you have read countless times in the youth team: playing for yourself means playing for the opponent! Playing for the team means playing for yourself!"


    Aldridge generally did not get angry, but he started to get angry. Even the onlookers were chilled, Ronaldo and Messi dared not have any rebuttal defenses, and with their heads slightly frustrated and left the city with Milan.


    Although the result of 0:0 is a bit disappointing, for Millwall, the advantage of promotion is still on their side. After returning to the home two weeks later, they can advance to the quarterfinals as long as they beat Inter Milan.


    After returning to London, Messi and Ronaldo dared not defy Aldridge¡¯s orders. The other players went to the youth team one day. They attracted the attention of youth team players such as Bell and Royce, but they both I came to the dressing room in casual clothes, sat quietly on the bench, and looked up at the slogan on the wall. It has been many years since the slogan posted on the wall. The two occasionally chatted a few words, exchanged, temporarily Alleviated the dispute between the two kings!


    By the weekend''s League Cup final, Aldridge still sent Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi to play at the same time. He didn''t say anything, but Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi knew that this League Cup final was an assessment for both of them!


    If you continue the "selfish" performance against Inter Milan in the middle of the week, then it is likely to be abandoned by Aldridge!


    The reason is very simple, did not win.


    To win, nothing is a problem.


    Can''t win, any small problem is a big problem!


    Hiddink has been "learned" in the league. Aldridge again played against Hiddink in the League Cup final today.


    Millwall''s strong midfield control, coupled with the outstanding performance of the new attack group, especially Ronaldo and Messi are no longer "selfish", Millwall''s attack has revived, the ball transfer is very fast, and personal breakthroughs are also Just right, coupled with Kaka and Villa''s needle penetration in the middle and from time to time the offensive focus shifted to them, Millwall defeated Chelsea 2-0 in 90 minutes to win the League Cup championship, Ronaldo and Messi each built one Merit.


    During the championship celebration, Aldridge emphasized the team''s philosophy once again. It seems that this game also proved the correctness of the criticism against them in the middle of the week.


    See, when you play for yourself, you can''t score, and the team can''t win.


    When you play for the team, you can score goals, we can win, and now we hold the trophy to celebrate the championship!


    With the potential of winning the League Cup, Millwall sent a substitute to the main team to recuperate, and ten days later, he competed with Inter Milan at the Lion King Stadium.


    March 8.


    The Lion King Stadium is full of people, and Millwall fans are not worried about this game. As long as they defeat their opponents, they will be promoted. Looking at the first round of Inter Milan¡¯s attack, even if there are two **** towers, Adriano and Ibrahimovic Strikers, but their offense is very weak, resulting from the disadvantage of midfield control.


    Aldridge''s mentality for this game was still normal, but on the day of the game, UEFA suddenly changed the referee group, based on the physical discomfort of the previously designated referee. When he saw the temporarily replaced referee , His face is very ugly.


    This person, he will not forget, although the memory is very vague, but after seeing it now, he has an ominous hunch.


    The referee is: Tom Herning!


    The wood has become a boat, and Audridge cannot protest anything out of thin air. When entering the stadium, he comforts himself as much as possible: everything is a coincidence, how can there be so many conspiracy theories? Don''t mess up!


    He walked into the Lion King Stadium, and as always, the scene would cheer like waves, and the fans greeted him.


    Aldridge walked to shake hands with Mancini. Mancini was proud of Serie A, but when he came to the Champions League, his mentality was really like a thin ice. In front of Aldridge, he did not let his timidity be exposed as much as possible.


    The players of the two teams played energetically.


    "The second round of the Champions League 1/8 finals of the 2006-2007 season is about to begin. The defending champion Millwall meets Inter Milan at home. In the first round, the two teams shake hands at Meazza 0:0 and today, they will be in the Lion King. Battle for life and death on the court!


    Let''s take a look at the starting list of both parties.


    Millwall started 433.


    Goalkeeper: Buffon.


    Guards: Ramos, Nesta, Silva, Ram.


    Midfielders: De Rossi, Alonso, Kaka.


    Forwards: Messi, Villa, C Ronaldo.


    Inter Milan started with 4312.


    Goalkeeper: Cesar.


    Guards: Maicon, Materazzi, Cordoba, Grosso.


    Midfielders: Zanetti, Vieira, Cambiasso, Stankovic.


    Forwards: Adriano, Ibrahimovic. "


    The habit that has been cultivated for many years makes Aldridge focus completely on the game once it starts.


    Usually this concentration will automatically ignore the existence of the head referee. The most perfect head referee should be an invisible person.


    With the massive cheering of Lion King Stadium, Millwall quickly launched an offensive at home!


    The players of the whole team entered the game very quickly. As soon as they opened the game, they accelerated the rhythm, passed it quickly, transferred back and forth, and ripped the opponent''s defense.


    After two back-and-forth horizontal transitions, the ball came to Messi''s feet. The Argentine genius, who has established his main position this season, began to show his simple, practical and unsolved extraordinary skills!


    He stopped the ball from the right side of the line and started to take a step back, took a step forward to shake off Cambiasso, then cut off Cambiasso in the middle, and defended in Vieira and Grosso. At that time, Messi continuously accelerated the dribbling, rushed past between the two, and avoided Vieira''s shovel!


    Before coming to the penalty area, Messi didn''t stick the ball anymore. As Vieira''s defense was broken, the center space was out, and he immediately passed the ball to Villa running towards the center position!


    Just when his foot passed the ball, someone stretched out from the front and stepped on his ankle, causing him to scream and fall to the ground!


    Villa knew what to do when he was in position, he kicked the ball, gently knocked the ball to himself in front of Materazzi, Kaka shot out from behind him, led the ball into the penalty area, single-handed ball!


    However, the referee''s whistle sounded!


    Penalty for Inter Milan!


    Kaka ignored the whistle, almost the next second, direct volley volley, the ball straight into the net nest!


    After scoring, Kaka turned back and found that the goal was invalid, and Messi, painfully fell outside the penalty area, concealing his face with one hand, patting the turf with one hand, and Cordoba standing in front of him to show his hand that he did not intentionally foul!


    Head referee Herning signaled Millwall to get a free kick outside the penalty area, and he just gave Cordoba a verbal warning and did not even show a yellow card!

 Chapter 1185： Blatant crime

    While the referee blew away Millwall''s goal, the Lion King Stadium sounded an overwhelming boo!


    "Uh, this ball, the referee can continue the game according to the principle of favorable offense. Although Millwall has some players violated, they have not lost the ball, especially when the offense has reached the last minute, he can wait and see, even if In the end, it was reasonable to not chase the penalty, but now, Millwall¡¯s goal was blown away, and he received a free kick in the frontcourt. Their player seemed to be injured. Messi fell to the ground with a painful expression. "


    Villa went to pay attention to Messi¡¯s injury, and Ronaldo went to protest to the head referee, reaching out to indicate that it should be Millwall¡¯s goal, instead of going back and giving them a **** set ball!


    The referee Herning ignored Ronaldo, but just stood at the foul spot with an expressionless expression. Ronaldo chattered and strongly protested that Herning did not play against Cordoba.


    Millwall took a step back and let you blow the foul, but shouldn''t the opponent''s foul move take a card?


    Hering was still in the same position as the oil and salt. Ronaldo was probably annoyed and said something disrespectful. Instead, Hening showed a yellow card as a warning to him!


    Ronaldo walked away helplessly, with a sneer sneer on his face.


    Aldrich stood on the sidelines and paid more attention to Messi¡¯s situation, because Messi looked very painful, the young man did not raise his head, the team doctor directly called a stretcher to enter after entering the field, Aldridge suddenly looked very ugly, it seemed, There may be serious injuries.


    Messi finally stood up, the stretcher was useless, but he limped and concealed his face with one hand, blocking the outside world''s sight, not wanting outsiders to see his tearful situation at this time.


    This is a serious blow to him!


    More important is the psychological level.


    This season, he emerged from the army and stabilized his main position. It was when he became famous. At this time, he suddenly suffered from injuries. He felt an irresistible fear in his heart. I don¡¯t know if this will affect his future.


    After all, he is different from others, really different.


    Since coming to Millwall at the age of 11, besides being mocked by some outsiders for his height, it also includes regular treatment, step by step, step by step, and struggling to reach today. How can outsiders understand what he has paid?


    When Messi left the company accompanied by the team doctor, the team doctor shook his head slightly towards Aldridge, the meaning was clear: Messi could not stick to the game.


    Aldridge stepped forward to hug Messi and gave him some encouragement and comfort. Messi''s tears were even more unstoppable, fearing that he would affect the team''s atmosphere, so he simply walked into the player channel and left the court.


    Because Messi was injured and left the field at the beginning of the game, Millwall''s bench also needs to be fully warmed up before he can debut.


    Millwall was forced to play more and less, which will inevitably affect their rhythm, so that the mad lion that just entered the state after the opening was disrupted. Not to mention the rhythm, even the sharpness seemed to have fallen.


    "Shortly after the opening, Millwall was forced to make a substitution and Henry replaced Messi, who was injured and left!"


    After Henry played, Millwall''s offensive re-erupted after a period of calm, and Inter Milan still dominated.


    In the past many years, Millwall''s performance has made Mancini dare not have too many ideas about the game, stabilize the defense, and defend in the end. As for the offense, there are very few offense opportunities, and don''t be cranky. That will only expose the defense.


    The referee''s scale is not loose, but it is really loose. As a result, Millwall''s attack is restricted by the opponent''s physical confrontation when he enters the dense defense area. Even if some actions that appear to be fouls will not be penalized The foul makes it difficult for Millwall''s offense to penetrate the front line.


    Aldridge has some entanglement on the sidelines. In this case, Millwall needs Ronaldinho. He can send a concealed and penetrating pass in the front waist area. However, Ronaldinho¡¯s condition this season is not complimenting. World Cup After returning to the team, Ronaldinho''s physical condition was very bad. In the second half of the season, it was considered to reduce the obvious belly. In the competitive state, it is no problem to play the general team. Invisible for a long time.


    If Ronaldinho last season, Ronaldinho''s debut at this time will have a great effect, but now, compared to Kaka, whose impact cannot be ignored, Ronaldinho is dwarfed.


    Halfway through the first half, Aldridge started to make adjustments on the sidelines to allow the team to shoot as long as possible to see if it could force Inter Milan to defend the premise.


    From 25 to 40 minutes, Millwall hit a long shot from the outside in 7 feet. It seemed that the chances were okay, but he was less lucky, and there were two long shots that deviated from the goal around 30 cm.


    However, this also made Inter Milan clamor and had to move forward to compress the long-range space outside Millwall''s penalty area.


    In the 43rd minute, Kaka took a long shot in the frontcourt and flicked Cambiasso''s defense with a fake. Then he sent a good pass and Grosso failed to mark Henry on the wing and let Henry reverse. After the offside was successful, Henry cut the ball directly across the other side when he touched the penalty area.


    Ronaldo on the other side pushed the ball behind the goal to get started!


    "Milwall scored! Millwall... wait, wait, the referee raised the flag to indicate that the ball was offside! From the height of the referee raised the flag, it indicates that Ronaldo was offside before the shot!"


    Ronaldo had just scored a goal to celebrate, and suddenly turned his head to see the edge-cutting flag-raising action. He shook his hand furiously, and his face was irritated. Henry also ran to the edge-cutting officer and asked for a reasonable explanation. No offside has a similar sixth-sense judgment. If Ronaldo is offside, Henry will never pass it, because they usually pay attention to this in training.


    Through slow mirror playback, at the moment when Henry passed the ball, Ronaldo never offside, at most parallel to Henry''s position, the two were together offside, Kaka''s ball passed to Henry, and Henry did not stop the ball, directly Pass the ball to the goal behind Ronaldo''s side.


    Aldridge was also furious. He went to the fourth official and scolded: "You are a blatant crime! Depriving Millwall''s goal! The first goal was blown, my player was injured and left the opponent Not even a yellow card! Now, **** in front of the world, you dare to blow away Millwall¡¯s uncontroversial goal? Who gives you the courage? Who?!"


    Along with Aldridge''s anger, the Lion King Stadium stands crowded, fans of the lion uttered a booing sound, and the stands close to the referee even criticized and criticized the frontier.


    Head referee Herning ran over to warn Aldridge, and Aldridge responded to him with a sentence: "Don¡¯t forget your identity, you are the head referee, you have made yourself the focus, the most Don''t let yourself be the sinner that thousands of people refer to!"


    Herning''s face was ugly, but he didn''t expect that Audridge would blame him in person and warn him in turn!


    In the face of this world-renowned young coach, He Ning was a little counseled and walked back into the field ignoring the pretense.


    The first half ended with 0:0, and the total score was still 0:0.


    Aldridge returned to the locker room to suppress his anger and try to keep the players calm and restrained on the court as much as possible!


    As for what he said: As long as we can score a goal, Inter Milan will have no chance.


    In this case, the players must believe in the usual time.


    But today, perhaps most players have an idea in mind: goals? We scored two in the first half, but both were directly obliterated.


    How can you "goal"?


    Inter Milan held on for 45 minutes in the first half. The posture in the second half remained unchanged. The defense was solid and the offense went down.


    But after a respite from the intermission, Inter Milan performed very well in the first half of the second half, or maybe it was the 135-minute non-drop in three and a half of the two rounds, which made them more confident.


    From 55 minutes, Millwall again used a long shot to threaten the opponent''s goal. Kaka shot a long shot from the outside of the penalty area and popped on the beam, which made Aldridge feel great regret.


    In the 69th minute, after Millwall hit two long shots in a row, Alonso suddenly inserted the ball and handed the ball to Ronaldo. The offensive method changed.


    Cristiano Ronaldo took the ball from the wing and made a breakthrough to the inside. After he passed Mai Kong, he came to the edge of the penalty area, but Maikong put the shovel from the diagonal back and directly shoveled C Luo to the ground!


    Ronaldo fell in the penalty area!


    He heard the whistle!


    Seeing the referee Herning running in his direction, he thought it would be a penalty, but Hering ran to him and showed him a second yellow card, and then took out a **** red card!


    Cristiano Ronaldo fell his head to the ground with his hands, and then jumped up again. He rushed to Hering and asked angrily: "What the **** are you doing? Obviously he kicked me down! He was fouled! How? Would it be my fall?"


    Indeed, when Ronaldo fell, he had a speculative subjective behavior, because he knew that the position he was violated was on the penalty area line. In order to avoid the referee choosing between a free kick and a penalty, he fell. When going down, deliberately tilt the body''s center of gravity forward, and let yourself fall into the restricted area.


    But he was indeed kicked!


    Just when Ronaldo protested, Kaka and Villa pointed to Ronaldo''s right leg side with excitement on the left and right of Herning, beckoning the referee to watch!


    Even Ronaldo didn''t realize that the side of his right calf, without the protection of the shin guard, the white socks had been stained with blood, and the socks broke a long hole, which was tackled by Mai Kong. The spikes were scratched and the blood was flowing like blood, making Ronaldo''s right calf wrapped in blood.


    "If there was no foul, where did his wound come from? Look clearly, you see clearly!"


    The fact that Villa''s expression is getting crazy and is in front of him is ignored by the referee. Even if Ronaldo is suspected of earning a favorable penalty when he falls into the penalty area, the foul is a nail, even if he takes a step back, Ronaldo will actually fall. , That''s it!


    Damn it, actually gave Ronaldo a second yellow card!

 Chapter 1186： The wailing of the king

    Every time the Champions League game is held in the evening, crazy lion fans have followed the team to all parts of Europe, even the cold Russia, Ukraine, when the winter is shivering, they are able to melt the cold with enthusiasm, but Today, the London night sky at the beginning of March was gloomy and the cold wind was blowing, but it made their hearts fall into the extreme cold hell.


    Head referee Herning did not suffer at least on the court, Millwall players protested, Inter Milan players came to defend the referee''s decision as much as possible, Materazzi tried to say what to De Rossi, let De Rossi as The captain went to restrain Millwall''s sentiment, but the two Italian national teammates, the former teammates of Millwall, immediately broke out on the court.


    De Rossi didn''t buy Materazzi''s account!


    He even thought that Materazzi was no longer qualified to talk to Millwall.


    "Since the day you left, you have nothing to do with our crazy lion! Now, you actually let us calm down? Let your mother''s fart! How calm down? Now it is our injustice that the crazy lion suffers from a bitch! You **** Stand by and shut my mouth, don¡¯t tell me what to do, I¡¯m the captain of the lion mad, I know what to do!"


    Materazzi was irritated by De Rossi''s words, the two had physical conflict, and almost became a large-scale two teams to fight on the field!


    Ronaldo stood a bit lonely on the periphery, and his red card could not be changed.


    Looking back at this season, it was really terrible!


    After the World Cup, he was humiliated and abused by his opponents. He was not seen on Fleet Street. It did affect his mentality when he played on the court, making him unstable when he played.


    There was a new competition within the team, and Messi¡¯s upswing made him feel a huge threat. This threat was unprecedented.


    Unlike Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho is an offensive organizer. Although the number of goals scored each season is not low, it is not the first point of Millwall¡¯s siege, and Messi¡¯s scoring efficiency is becoming more and more amazing, about 30 The year-old Henry is becoming a past tense for the mad lion. Cristiano Ronaldo wants to become a conspicuous role like Henry in the past. Without forming a virtuous circle and stimulating and inspiring each other, it was only when Aldridge had to beat the two from time to time to blend the pair.


    The Champions League, just entered the knockout game, the last time playing Inter Milan performed badly, squandered too many opportunities, timely corrections and dedicated to fight this life and death battle, C Ronaldo was blown off a goal, was violated by the opponent, but wanted to Sent off!


    This inevitably made him discouraged, as if the world he was seeing in front of him began to gradually become gray, losing all the beautiful colors.


    When the conflict subsided, Ronaldo dragged the wounded leg that had flowed into the sneakers and stepped down to head out of the court.


    When Ronaldo walked to the side of the court and subconsciously looked in the direction of Aldridge, he didn¡¯t know how his boss would see him sent off with a red card, but in the home team¡¯s coach seat, he didn¡¯t see Aldridge turned his eyes, but saw Aldridge just in front of him, roaring frantically at the fourth official.


    Yes, from the first time Ronaldo was shown a red card, Aldridge''s eyes were red, not sad but angry!


    As if a bull rushed to the fourth official, he snarled at the opponent: "Is my player about to be kicked off, is it a foul of the opponent! Are you **** blind? Are you **** today? Is it because you are determined to kill Millwall?"


    He kept complaining and constantly putting pressure on the fourth official, but the fourth official chose to ignore it with an indifferent expression.


    In the end, Aldridge couldn''t restrain himself. He pushed the fourth official fiercely, and grabbed the other''s chin to make him look directly at his fire-breathing eyes. Me! No one! Are you going to kill Millwall like this? Isn¡¯t it? Okay, let me tell you now, let¡¯s play a game where you die or I die! No matter if you are blind yourself, Or is there anyone behind you who instructs you to do this! I will make you pay! With such a mean and shameful method, can you face your family with peace of mind? Can you face the children? I will let the world know you Your evil behavior, and present your ugly side to everyone! Let your life turn upside down! Let you have an ugly and dirty stain in your life nowhere to escape! Dare to black my Millwall, you **** annoyed The least worthy person!"


    Just when the conflict between the two teams subsided, the referee Herning rushed to the side of the court for the first time, and everyone''s eyes also looked.


    They saw Aldridge who had lost his previous calmness, and saw the young official who was "bullying" the fourth official very rudely.


    Head referee Herning rushed to the sidelines and pulled out a red card, which was given to Aldridge.


    Undoubtedly, Aldridge''s physical movement against the fourth official was enough for him to be ordered to retire, and this will definitely be added by UEFA after the game. The whole world has seen it, and the evidence is mountainous!


    Faced with Herning''s red card, Aldridge closed his eyes and took a deep breath. His face was still fierce and angry. He turned to the coach seat and whispered to Boas: "Replace Villa and replace Shi. Ned, fight back."


    At least the score is still 0:0, Millwall has not lost!


    When Aldrich explained these two sentences, there was a riot in the stadium stands!


    Fans of crazy lions are really intolerable!


    Messi retired, Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo''s goals were blown away, Cristiano Ronaldo''s half-legged **** yet to be sent off with a red card!


    Now, King Aldridge here will also be sent off!


    How to endure?


    How to endure!


    In the nearby stands, fans broke through a gap in the gap between security personnel. Someone rushed into the stadium. The first, second, and third. Almost a dozen fans rushed into the stadium, and their expressions rushed wildly and fiercely. Head referee Herning!


    Aldrich just explained to Boas and found the shock on the court. He immediately ran to Herning. When the fists of the fans closest to Herning had already raised their fists, Aldridge stopped in front of Herning. , Standing tall with your head upright!


    The young man, who looked like he was in his early twenties, raised his fists but could no longer fall, and the fans who rushed behind him stopped.


    They don''t understand why Odric will stop them at this time!


    The face-to-face fans of Aldridge distorted their expressions and struggled hoarsely: "Sir Hall, please let me go, please let me go! No one can treat our crazy lion like this! No one! This is the great Lion King Stadium , This is the territory of the great mad lion, there is no enemy to spread wild here, let alone he is a bad referee, he must pay the price! must pay the price!"


    Aldridge saw the tears flashing in his eyes, it was aggrieved to the extreme emotion, it was a pity to love the team to the extreme emotion.


    Aldridge raised his left hand, pressed his trembling fist, stepped forward, hugged the fan, and said softly: "I know, I know... nobody can treat us like this, yes, they will pay The price must be, but not in this way."


    Aldrich raised his hand to the security guard who rushed up and surrounded the fans on the field, not to act rashly. He embraced the fan who was holding his head down and could not stop the tears. The other fans also gave up attacking Herning, They followed away from Aldridge.


    Before entering the player channel, Aldridge''s eyes were red. This was really because of distress, not anger. He loved his players and his fans.


    The Lion King Stadium resounded with singing.


    That''s their team song.


    "No one likes us, it doesn''t matter! No matter where you are going, I will follow you to death!"


    After entering the player''s tunnel, Aldridge stood against the wall in the tunnel, with UEFA officials watching him.


    He cannot make subjective changes to anything that happens on the court. At this time, unlike the future, the head coach can sit on the telephone in the stands to communicate with the coach seat. At this time, "surveillance" is still relatively strict.


    On the court, Millwall, who played one less person, made a substitution.


    Schneider replaced Villa, and Boas put Schneider on the court with instructions for tactical changes.


    Henry hit the striker, Kaka was behind Henry, then Schneider added a breakthrough point on the wing, the other unchanged, the posture turned into a defensive counterattack.


    This was the decision Aldridge made before leaving.


    As far as the referee''s penalties are concerned, it is unlikely that Millwall would play one less person and want to suppress Inter Milan''s goal.


    And solid defense, big deal kick kick!


    However, Boas is not Aldridge. Schneider conveyed the team''s tactical change order after playing. Combined with the atmosphere of the stadium is now "tragic", Millwall players have almost lost their minds on the court!


    They have to knock down their opponents and all enemies with goals!


    The referee Herning seems to be finally "correcting the evil", from 70 minutes to 80 minutes, constantly showing yellow cards to Inter Milan players, but don''t look at the large number of yellow cards, but it is not painful.


    Inter Milan still defended stubbornly, and faced Millwall, who was one less person but burst out with a shocking and wild temperament.


    At this time Mancini also made a substitution, he removed Stankovic and replaced the veteran Figo!


    The situation on the court was clear at a glance, and Millwall attacked more and more irrationally.


    Alonso went up, De Rossi went up, Ramos went up, Ram worked in the midfield, and from time to time, Silva would go up too!


    Mancini couldn''t figure out what the game was about.


    This was to come to London in a low-key manner, was bombarded by Millwall at home, fortunately got a draw without losing the ball, came to the road, the odds are not big, but the game has a lot of twists and turns, the referee''s penalty It has always been very beneficial to Inter Milan. Now under the influence of mentality, Millwall, the king of Europe, can be said to be blooming the domineering of the king, but it also looks like the mourning of the king before his death!

 Chapter 1187： Dynasty collapsed!

    The confidence built up over a long period of time builds the confidence and dignity of the team. The more the adversity becomes, the more reluctant the lion is to retreat!


    Even if they were **** or dying, they still had to rush forward, showing their fangs to bite their opponents and put them to death!


    On the court, Millwall players completely killed their eyes, one by one like a crazy lion, constantly impacting and oppressing Inter Milan!


    Boas, who was on the sidelines, wanted to calmly command the final stage of the game, he was confident.


    Just as when Aldridge went to Budapest to attend the Puskas funeral, Boas temporarily directed a game, when the team easily won the game, everything looked very smooth.


    But at this moment, Boas'' scalp was numb and his head was almost exploding!


    The scene is completely out of control!


    Schneider will definitely convey instructions for tactical adjustments on the court, but the team''s execution is completely different!


    Boas even had the urge to retreat and fled the scene.


    The pressure was so high that he almost collapsed.


    At this time he also finally understood why Klinsmann ended in failure at Millwall four years ago.


    No one can control this king team that rules Europe!


    In other words, in addition to Aldridge, even if Boas appeared in front of the players every day, he also appeared on the sidelines. But at the truly critical moment, Aldrich can make everything full of order here, and changing others is equivalent to air, not exist!


    Millwall''s players on the field seemed to be mad, like De Rossi, who constantly rushed back and forth in the midfield, like a beast, and the grim expression could make everyone outside guess his inner thoughts at the moment.


    "Kill you! Crush you! This is the territory of the mad lion! No one can be wild here! We are the mad lion! We will always pursue victory!"


    In the 88th minute, Millwall launched a very threatening offensive, Ram passed on the left from the frontcourt, and De Rossi and Silva entered the penalty area together, forming a double-headed attacking header!


    Silva grabbed the point and headed towards the goal of Inter Milan!


    Cesar made a world-class save!


    He flew the ball from the air at a very close distance!


    The audience exclaimed, probably everyone believes that goal must be scored!


    Cesar immediately counterattacked when he got up, and Mancini could not calm down on the sidelines.


    Millwall''s mad attack is almost like a gambler who loses his eyes and takes out all his belongings as the final gamble!


    At this time, Inter Milan''s chance to counterattack is too good, the frontcourt is wide open, the opponent''s defensive strength is too weak.


    After Grosso''s direct pass from the wing, the ball came to Figo''s foot. Figo got rid of Ramos''s head on the wing and grabbed a hot grab. Inner middle forward, at this time, the offensive situation was very important for Inter Milan. favorable.


    Nesta and Schneider are the only two defensive players.


    In order not to give Millwall more time to defend, Figo decisively sent a top straight plug, the ball flew diagonally to the right side of the penalty area, and the landing point was just where he entered the penalty area.


    Adriano stuck the ball and stopped the ball. In the confrontation with Nesta, Nesta wanted to guard against Ibrahimovic outside the penalty area. The center of gravity did not dare to surrender easily. Instead, Adriano had no intention to pass the ball. The breakthrough is over!


    Single pole ball!


    Buffon decisively abandoned the door and Adriano took another step, very close to Buffon, he chose to roll the ball.


    Buffon quickly fell and blocked the ball with his right foot!


    Crazy Lion fans roared wildly in the stands, Buffon blocked the opponent''s single-handed ball!


    But the next second, blocking the ball outside the penalty area, in the rolling direction, there is an Inter player!


    Ibrahimovic!


    In front of him, Nesta quickly came to the front to intercept. Ibrahimovic did not give Buffon after falling to the ground to get back to the door. He directly chose a kick from outside the penalty area and the ball jumped lightly from inside. Fly in front of Starr, Nesta did not jump, he knew he could not change the trajectory of the ball!


    Seeing that the ball was flying towards the goal, it was flying to the right in the goal, the ball was not fast, this situation made all Millwall desperate.


    There is only one exception!


    Schneider!


    He is rushing towards the goal at full speed, trying to save the drive in front of the goal line!


    Compared with the madness of teammates, Schneider is the most calm!


    After all, he came with tactical instructions, he should have been on the flank assault, but Ramos went up, he could only drag behind to strengthen the defense.


    At this moment, the only ball in his eyes that was slowly falling into Millwall''s goal.


    With a firm look, Schneider roared in his heart as he accelerated: Faster, faster! No, you can''t let the ball in! No! Never!


    That is the dignity of the crazy lion, the pride of the crazy lion!


    When the ball was about to cross the goal line, Schneider took the last step directly to take a jump, trying to block the ball with a volley kick gesture that he was not good at.


    However, less than 1 meter 8 he exhausted all his strength, his toes still failed to touch the ball, the ball was less than 10 cm higher than his foot!


    At that moment, Schneider wanted to use his life to stop the ball from flying to the goal!


    The ball fell into the goal.


    At the same time, bang!


    Schneider''s leaping body hit the goal''s right post!


    His right calf had a slight twist with obvious irregularities, and the place where it collided with the doorpost cracked and blood flowed out...


    At that moment, Schneider slipped ten fingers into the turf, turning his head to look at the ball rolling inside the goal and let out a unwilling roar.


    "what!!!!!"


    On the bench, Nedvide, Larson, Ronaldinho and other players have their pupils shrunk, straightened up and rushed into the court to Schneider!


    Inter Milan scored!


    Adriano rushed to Ibrahimovic excitedly, intending to celebrate.


    However, Ibrahimovic pushed him away.


    Ibrahimovic stood staring in the direction of the goal, watching Buffon, Nesta, and other Millwall players quickly rushing to surround Schneider.


    He lowered his head.


    Once upon a time, when playing for the Premier League, the opponent he most wanted to defeat was Millwall!


    Today, looking at the time on the scoreboard, it has been 90 minutes.


    It should be realized.


    Even if Millwall can score a goal, Inter Milan will rely on the advantage of guest goals to defend the champion, no, is the "king of Europe" eliminated! End Millwall''s **** of Europe!


    But at this moment, Ibrahimovic was not excited.


    Inter Milan players who are also not excited, as well as Vieira and Materazzi.


    Others have not played in the Premier League, have not known Millwall for a long time, and will not understand what this team means for too many good players.


    To be able to defeat Millwall would be a great victory! It¡¯s glory, it¡¯s proof, it¡¯s like raising your head as if you have become extraordinary!


    But today, such a victory was definitely not what they wanted. Ibrahimovic lowered his head. He didn''t understand why the game came to this step, why there was such a situation that even the entire Inter Milan team did not understand.


    And now this goal makes him feel shameful!


    Unable to celebrate...


    Ibrahimovic shook his head slightly toward the backcourt, and the step-by-step picture of continuing the game may also become a classic picture of his career, but the deep meaning and understanding can be only himself.


    Most of the fans in the stands hold their heads in disbelief!


    The shock of the team''s lore, plus Schneider''s failure to save the driver''s failure, but fell to the ground, the shocking scene made many emotional fans have burst into tears.


    Millwall did not have the legendary No. 7, but Schneider, who had been wearing the No. 7 shirt since the summer of 1994, was already a mad lion legend. He was selflessly dedicated, he was dedicated, he smiled handsomely, and he was loved by fans!


    Not that he took the glorious No. 7 jersey, but he made Millwall''s No. 7 jersey meaningful!


    His courage and behavior to go to the front door to rescue the danger are the best interpretation of the mad lion spirit, but the tearful fans in the stands, how hopeful Schneider can withdraw at that moment, and can firmly follow the nerve protection consciousness. Slow down!


    It was Schneider who was supposed to lift Messi''s stretcher and finally lay on it.


    When Aldridge saw Schneider in the player tunnel and was carried into the player tunnel by a stretcher, he would be taken to the hospital. Aldridge turned and punched on the cold wall. He gritted his teeth and sent out a low like a beast. Screaming, even taking care of your hand was also injured...


    The expression of UEFA officials standing next to "surveillance" Aldridge became ugly, and the two seemed to lose the courage to look at Aldridge.


    On the court, Boas had to use the last substitution quota and replaced the injured Schneider with Nedved. Inter Milan also began to use substitution quota to consume the game time.


    There are 5 minutes of stoppage time.


    But the morale of Millwall has dropped greatly, probably witnessing the picture of Schneider''s serious injury and leaving the scene, which completely messed them up.


    Mind thinking has become unclear.


    Quite a bit lost, plus Inter Milan substitutions prolonged time, and no longer attack, but completely dead!


    Millwall had no chance at the time of injury.


    In the end, the game ended with Millwall defeating Inter Milan at 0:1 at home.


    At the end of the game, all players on Millwall wanted to rush forward to denounce the referee. The club staff came forward to pull the players away and stop them from besieging the referee.


    Inter Milan''s players did not celebrate anything, and quickly left under the leadership of Mancini.


    As he walked into the player tunnel, Mancini saw Aldridge, who was bewildered. He wanted to say two words of comfort to Audridge, but Audridge ignored him directly. Mancini had to leave.


    Numerous lion fans in the stands lost their souls and seemed to have their souls stripped off.


    Fans of Millwall who have some qualifications have not experienced the team''s failure.


    Millwall, who was also a dynasty ruler and defending champion, was eliminated in the UEFA Champions League group stage. They also experienced it.


    But this time is different. The blow this time is extremely heavy!


    Because it seems to have been strangled by the best football in their hearts.


    Millwall, the undefeated home record for ten years of the European War was ended.


    The mad lion dynasty collapsed.

 Chapter 1188： Death in silence? Silence broke out!

    The second round of the Champions League 1/8 final at the Lion King Stadium ended.


    Unsurprisingly, East London fell into the "chaos" again, and the fans who left the Lion King Stadium, the crazy lion fans who watched the game on TV at home in the bar, appeared in groups on the street, came to the lion Around the King Stadium.


    The angry fans wanted to search for the figure of the referee team and attacked Inter Milan''s team bus.


    After the smoke dissipated, from the hustle and bustle to the Lion King Stadium, Aldridge did not attend the post-match press conference. He walked into the stadium, stepped on the turf, and walked aimlessly in the stadium alone.


    He walked to where Messi was injured, walked to the restricted area line where Ronaldo fell, squatted next to Schneider''s goal post, which ultimately caused him serious injury, walked along the inside of the sideline, and looked up at the stand, the empty place The tears, anger and despair of the fans of the crazy lion can be seen faintly.


    Eventually, he came to the kick-off point in the middle circle and lay down.


    The dead stadium, rectangular green field, three-dimensional majestic stadium building, overlooking, like a huge coffin, buried in the calm expressionless young handsome...


    Closing his eyes, the world was dark. In the environment of zero weightlessness, Aldridge saw that the dark space gradually became blood red. A lion fell down suddenly, and the blood was filled, sweeping the whole world.


    If he did not have a coaching career of the past 13 years, did not lead the crazy lion through the ups and downs, but just as ordinary fans like the previous life, he should be able to accept what happened today.


    In the football world, there is the injustice of Fei Shuang in June, but you have nowhere to complain!


    Bystanders can of course be indifferent by watching others'' tragedies tepidly.


    If he is definitely a realist, he will compromise and bow his head.


    Go home, sleep, condemn a few words, protest a few words, and then with the passage of time, life continues, everything that happened today will also be forgotten by the world, at this time, his heartache and severe wounds began to stop bleeding, Scarring, numbness, and finally leaving a scar that will become weaker in the future. Without looking at it, you will not remember what kind of injury you have suffered.


    is this okay?


    "Milwall...Milwall..."


    In the blood-red world, a voice rang out, from inaudible to gradually clear, and finally shook the earth!


    The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and Aldridge, who was lying in the middle of the green field, struggled.


    Not reconciled!


    Not reconciled!


    Not reconciled!


    Seven crowns in nine years!


    Let me be reconciled!


    If it were to lose to the opponent, if he did make an unforgivable mistake, he would accept everything!


    But lost to Inter Milan, a team that has been weak in the European War for a long time and is not as good as Millwall.


    No, it was not lost to Inter Milan.


    Lost to UEFA!


    The **** of Inter Milan is used by UEFA to humiliate Millwall!


    Two birds with one stone!


    In addition to suppressing Millwall, it will also provoke the cooperation between Millwall and Inter Milan in the G14!


    Messi, who covered his face with tears when he came off, C Ronald with half of his legs stained with blood, Schneider, who was on oxygen when he was lifted by a stretcher, would take the initiative to stand up and defend the loyal lion¡¯s loyalty. fan¡­¡­


    Aldrich kept asking himself in his mind: Can you compromise?


    Can?


    Can?


    Can? !


    Do not! Do not! Do not! ! !


    Aldridge opened his eyes, and he saw that Yi Wen knelt beside him, gently holding his right hand against his chest, tears swirling in his eyes, and distressed Aldridge''s right hand that was no longer bleeding but the wound was shocking.


    Bonnie, Burt, Earl, the three children have different expressions, some cried and were mad lions, and some were fathers.


    Aldridge stood up, smiled softly at his family, hugged Bonnie in one hand, placed it on Burt''s shoulder with one hand, and walked toward the player channel of the court.


    At the exit of the player''s passage, Carter smoked against the wall, his expression uncertain, and after Aldridge came over, he dropped his cigarette **** and stepped on it with his feet.


    "As soon as the game was over, I notified the club owners, players, and executives to ban the public."


    Aldrich nodded when he heard the news. Obviously, after encountering such a major emergency, Millwall needs to be consistent with the outside world, especially after the game. He needs to have an obvious position and attitude. In this way, people must be avoided first. Talkative, you say something, he says something, you say here, he says there, maybe they are all complaining, but, if there is no unified goal, it is complaining, not countering, not defending yourself!


    After the game, Carter issued a seal to the club for the first time. Millwall did not represent the post-match press conference. The players rested in the locker room for a while and then left.


    When Aldridge left the Lion King Stadium, outside the stadium gathered on the Fleet Street major media live report team, they aimed the camera at the Lion King Stadium, aimed at the crowded streets, police to maintain law and order.


    This is unusual.


    After a game, it should be a post-game comment, to listen to what the players and coaches said, and then some famous or ball critics to summarize, future prospects and the like.


    But now, the events surrounding the Lion King Stadium are more like a beginning. The end of the game does not mean the end of the event, as if something is brewing.


    Everything comes from Millwall''s unilateral "close".


    The outside world does not know how they will react when they encounter the end of the European dynasty, especially the controversial punishment in the game that they have every reason to complain.


    But they don''t have it now, but more and more conjecture.


    Carter also drove to Aldridge¡¯s house and waited to coax the children to sleep. Aldridge came to the back garden of the house and sat opposite Carter. Ewen prepared tea and snacks for them, and then left the space for this Two men.


    Aldridge looked at the wound on his right hand that had been carefully bandaged by Ewen, lit a cigarette, and said lightly: "Maybe my next decision will be understood as revenge by the outside world, but that is not entirely, the anger is only temporary, Longer-term considerations will inevitably linger in my mind. If I don¡¯t do this, I will lose all my enthusiasm for the football career and may be so heartbroken that I will sell the club immediately tomorrow."


    Carter appeared pensive and nodded after a while: "You have the power to do this because you are an idealist and don''t want to bow to the vulgar and dirty reality. Yeah, Millwall can compromise today and can downplay everything, but in the future What about next season? You are only 30 years old. If you coach for another 20 years, 30 years, whenever Millwall is brilliant, there are external forces beyond the scope of football competition to strike you, which of course will let you The idea of ??continuing to coach the team for another 20 years, 30 years, and even boycotting football has been cut off. All the best experiences of the sport have become humiliation that can only helplessly and accept oppression."


    Aldridge said softly: "Thank you for understanding."


    That''s right, just talking about the present, not Aldridge''s style. In fact, when he was lying in the center of the Lion King stadium, he was ashamed.


    The most painful thing in the world is that your efforts are easily wiped out by others!


    He put in the hard work and the irreversible time, but he did not get the return he deserved.


    In that case, who is willing to pay? Who is willing to continue to persevere?


    "What are you going to do? The club is waiting for you to make a decision!"


    Carter''s eyes fixed on Aldridge firmly.


    In fact, as the club''s CEO, Carter should persuade Aldridge to bow his head to reality, because no matter what happens after the incident, it will not help, but it may intensify the incident, which is not good for Millwall.


    But before becoming the CEO of Millwall, he was first and foremost a friend of Aldridge. He understood Aldridge and asked Aldridge to bow his head, to deny his efforts, and to seek out the whole, that is impossible!


    Millwall has encountered many difficulties, ups and downs, Aldridge has come over, and today, he can no longer bow to anyone.


    Aldridge was silent for ten minutes, and finally said in a deep voice: "Two things, one is far and the other is close, let''s talk about the near first, simply today''s game, I want to get revenge! Millwall is not arbitrary at UEFA. Chess piece, I want to let the whole world see that they provoke the least people! The club collects disputes in the game as evidence and forms the most professional team of lawyers. Millwall goes to the European Sports Arbitration Court to file a lawsuit, nominally , We filed a lawsuit against the unfair treatment received in the game, but the world knows that we are suing UEFA!"


    Carter interjected: "Yes, the referee''s temporary replacement is one of the available evidence. Secondly, one more piece, Millwall publicly reported to the European Criminal Police Organization under the European Union, requesting European Criminal Police Organization to investigate the game! European sports arbitration courts will more or less protect UEFA, and we all know that in such cases, most of the European sports arbitration courts refuse to accept them. They can then join the EU institutions, and institutions other than sports will intervene! Football is the most feared! Even if it is a protracted lawsuit that will not have results, but we can afford to let this game permanently nail UEFA to the column of shame and let them be judged by the outside world. Even public opinion sanctions!"


    As far as knowledge is concerned, Aldridge is not as good as Carter. Therefore, when an idea appears, Aldridge will now mostly consult with Carter to improve or supplement Carter.


    Call the police?


    Aldridge did not expect that his thinking was still in the football circle, in the field of competition, but Carter was more direct.


    Once Millwall''s complaint is served in the European Sports Arbitration Tribunal, he will officially announce that he will tear his face with UEFA!


    Because the regular process is that a team is dissatisfied with the dispute of the game, the first step must be to file a complaint with UEFA, which will be heard by UEFA internally. When the result comes out, the club is not satisfied, and then appeal to European sports arbitration If the court is no longer satisfied, you can go to the International Sports Arbitration Court!

 Chapter 1189： Take a step back, further

    Yue Lang star is sparse, late at night, Aldridge and Carter sit opposite each other in the back garden. With the dim light, the outside world does not know that the two most important characters of the Millwall Club are brewing. A storm that shakes Europe and the world!


    And this is the prologue to the changes in the pattern of European football collapsed into the new century!


    "What is far?"


    Carter and Aldrich have discussed the club¡¯s response to the match after the event. It is conceivable that all members of the duty referee team will be investigated for a long time in the future once they report the case to Europol, and their lives will be in the microscope. Next exposure, it''s turned upside down!


    After being silent for a short period of time again, Aldridge said: "Even if you go to protest, prosecute, and investigate the game, it is difficult to change anything in the short term. How long will the lawsuit last? One year? Two years? Three years? No I know, but Millwall still has to continue to develop, but I don¡¯t want to have any involvement with UEFA, and I don¡¯t want to have fans in the future or we will fight against UEFA for a long time. It¡¯s meaningless. People are disgusted. I only need a fair and just playing environment. Since UEFA can¡¯t give me, I quit, I decided that Millwall will quit all UEFA clubs¡¯ intercontinental events. In the future, we will not go to the Champions League, no longer to go Playing the UEFA Cup, because even if it is a momentary success, it is necessary to beware of whether it will be calculated tomorrow."


    Carter was shocked, and then he also fell into a long silence.


    After a long time, Aldrich asked: "Why not talk?"


    Carter raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Intellectually, I should persuade you to dispel this idea, because, when you do this, you are ruining Millwall! You will bury the crazy lion you built! There is no possibility of income from the Champions League. It¡¯s a secondary factor, but a world-class player, unable to refuse the temptation of the Champions League! They have left Millwall, and no world-class players will be willing to join Millwall in the future! The Champions League is the club¡¯s World Cup! However, emotion I can¡¯t persuade you anymore. I¡¯m not the head coach. I know you must be very painful in your heart. You have to work hard and be cruelly trampled on by someone! Damn it, a man can¡¯t tolerate it, a man can¡¯t compromise. No man can hypocritically raise his smile and pretend that nothing has happened before moving on!"


    Aldridge closed his eyes and smiled self-deprecatingly.


    It''s nice to be proud and dignified.


    The unpleasant point is that you have to face yourself and ask for your suffering!


    When you take a nap, nothing happens, everything will soon be back on track, and the season is almost over.


    And it has been hacked once, will UEFA be open to Black Millwall next season?


    Continue next season?


    That''s unlikely.


    But Aldridge couldn''t let go.


    And it will make people have a shadow in their hearts, there is an inexplicable fear and suspicion.


    Maybe in the future, if he encounters a controversial penalty in the UEFA Champions League, he will wonder if UEFA is **** against Millwall again?


    Aldridge does not want to live that kind of life.


    Carter stood up, took a deep breath, and continued: "And, once you make this decision, the pressure from yourself will be greater! In a sense, Millwall is not entirely yours!"


    Aldridge nodded in approval.


    From the perspective of ownership, Aldridge fully owns the Millwall Club, where every piece of grass and a nail belongs to him.


    But emotionally, the club does not belong to him completely, it belongs to the majority of Millwall fans.


    Whether the club will compete in the European arena, this decision really should not be Aldridge alone.


    but¡­¡­


    "I spent more than 12 years serving fans, accommodating fans, envisioning them, and also for their success. Millwall¡¯s tickets have always been outside the top three in the Premier League, even if we are in the decent London, Our emergency rescue team of the fan service department is also the most Premier League, the most in Europe, and even the world. I have done so much, so much, I think, let me be willful once and make my own claims once."


    Carter looked at Aldridge who made these remarks, and knew in his heart that Aldridge had already paid too much to the club.


    Because the fate of this club was rewritten by Aldridge, the flesh and spirit of the crazy lion were all created by Aldridge!


    Carter said in a deep voice: "I get it. Okay, I don''t persuade you in this matter, so let''s decide this matter. For our short-term future, the good news is: Last summer, the first team Players have renewed their contracts, and it is a long-term contract. Unless we are under financial pressure, we can keep all players strong and maintain our influence and attention brought by many stars. In terms of revenue and influence, Millwall will only gradually decline in strength. Even if he does not participate in the Champions League, 10 years later, we may not have the strength to compete for the championship in England, because this is a bad cycle."


    Carter started pacing, frowning, worried about Millwall''s development strategy after making such a decision.


    He muttered to himself: "If we don¡¯t participate in the European competition, we have more time, then the income can be filled through more business activities, but this is another knot, not to play in the Champions League, the sponsors themselves The sponsorship fee will come down..."


    "Hey, hey..."


    Aldridge called Carter several times in a row, before attracting his attention. Carter turned to look at Aldridge. At this time, Aldridge also stood up and put one hand on Carter¡¯s shoulder, his eyes suddenly became Sharp and divine, he said, "Remember Edwards?"


    Carter frowned: "Former Manchester United boss? That old pervert?"


    Aldrich nodded and said in a deep voice: "The establishment of G14 is inseparable from the contribution of Edwards. Before the establishment of G14, he had been promoting an ideal at the Premier League boss round table, because there was no reform in the Champions League at that time, even It¡¯s Manchester United, and it¡¯s difficult to ensure a stable and huge profit from the Champions League. His assumption is that after the Champions League reform, the number of giants participating in the Champions League will increase, and the voice will become smaller after the income becomes relatively stable, but after the economic crisis a few years ago, In order to get more benefits from the Champions League, he reiterated the old things and received wide support in the G14, but in the end, with the further concessions of UEFA, he failed to take action. You know, what is that ideal ?"


    Carter¡¯s pupils shrunk, his heart shook, and he wondered: "Is it?"


    "Yes!"


    "European Premier League!"


    The two shared the same dream of a giant who is not a secret in UEFA!


    Carter took a step back and re-examined Aldridge, then a hint of wry smile appeared.


    At that moment, he blamed Aldridge wrongly.


    He thought that Aldridge let Millwall withdraw from the Champions League, is a simple retreat, to escape!


    Now it seems, no!


    Not at all!


    UEFA dare to provoke Millwall!


    Aldridge''s counterattack is to break the root of UEFA!


    UEFA¡¯s main sources of revenue are sponsorship advertising costs and TV broadcast costs.


    This is of course related to football games. The two brands, the first is the European Cup once every four years, and the second is the Champions League every season!


    Although the income of the European Cup is very expensive, it is once every four years, the span is too long, don¡¯t look at the European Cup to make hundreds of millions of euros, but now the ¡°poverty reduction policy¡± implemented by UEFA, especially Platini came to power The latter is to directly send the money to the small football countries, similar to football development subsidies, such a flat, once every four years of the European Cup, it is not enough to make a profit.


    The main source of stable and growing income is the Champions League.


    The sponsor of the Champions League is to sign an agreement with UEFA.


    The same is true for TV broadcasting.


    Most of the income here belongs to UEFA, and the club can only be divided into a small part!


    Therefore, only the emergence of the fight between G14 and UEFA.


    G14 is the protagonist of the Champions League, but can only get a small part of the income.


    When the economic crisis came a few years ago, the G14 was discussed at the summit. Please come to the German football economic agency to help make a prediction. The conclusion is that if the G14 set aside the other European clubs and get rid of UEFA control to establish the European Super League, The overall benefit income obtained will be ten times that of the income at that time!


    This is still a conservative estimate.


    And that time of struggle, UEFA has further improved the benefit of the Champions League to the club, including match bonuses, broadcast fee income, etc., only in the context of the economic crisis, the football industry¡¯s money-burning behavior has not stopped, but instead "Price" is still growing.


    But the formation of the European Super League will have a great negative impact!


    This will make G14 completely the public enemy of other European football clubs and all first-tier clubs!


    It is conceivable that the G14 independently organizes the European Super League and the Champions League will be worthless!


    While getting rid of UEFA, it will also make G14 and UEFA become endless enemies.


    Secondly, with the huge economic benefits, and the G14 controlling the ticket qualification of the European Super League, they will monopolize the elite players in Europe and even the world football!


    They can pay a higher transfer fee, and can give players a salary that is completely one-by-one compared to other clubs!


    In contemporary European football, the dispersion of elite players is about 8:2, that is to say, the overall strength of active players is ranked. About 80 of the top 100 players are giants or quasi-strongmen playing in the mainstream league, but still There will be about 20 elite players playing for first-tier clubs, like Totti in Rome.


    But once the European Super League is born, the attractiveness to elite players and the huge gap in income will make elite players further monopolized by G14!


    It can be said that this will completely change the pattern of the UEFA mainstream league. Those first-tier clubs will have a significant drop in the challenge to the status of the giant clubs, and they will never even turn over!


    Taking a step, maybe it will create a brilliant upper-level football competition, but it will also become a "sinner" in the eyes of all other clubs!


    Because the strong, ruthlessly abandoned the weak!

 Chapter 1190： The war has begun!

    Carter never thought that working at Millwall would suddenly have a heavy sense of mission!


    When Aldridge put one hand on his shoulder, with a serious expression, solemnly said: "Carter, we work together to achieve this feat of football that will be recorded in history!"


    Putting it on ordinary people and people who don¡¯t understand football may be ridiculous.


    Football is sports or entertainment in most places.


    But Carter understands that if the European Super League is born, not only will the European giants get rid of UEFA control, just like the Premier League breaks away from the FA''s control of the independent portal, at the same time, there will also be countless clubs that become the bones of the giants'' feet!


    It is also like the deformed league system in England.


    The Premier League is rich in the world, and the Premier League is in poverty!


    Carter was determined, with a grin, and said, "Aldrich! We will achieve it! We will!"


    Aldridge nodded and put his hand down. At this time, Yi Wen came to the backyard door and said to him: "Andrew is here."


    Aldridge walked into the living room with Carter. Andrew stepped forward and gave Aldrich a hug. Before Aldrich asked him about his intentions, Andrew said to him: "Let me use it in your study. Brother will make a video call. come."


    Aldrich took the two people upstairs to his study. There was a video phone in his study, which was rarely used.


    After a while, I got in touch with Barnett on the other side of the ocean.


    In the video, Barnett was wearing a shirt and trousers, and was talking to Aldridge in his study.


    "Aldrich, I watched the game at night. I don¡¯t want to discuss anything about the game. I just want to know, what do you think now? What will you do next?"


    Aldrich scratched his head and didn''t seem to understand what Barnet called to ask what it meant.


    With Barnett''s wealth increasing day by day, football should be a game in the eyes of his tycoon. What grievances and oppressions are estimated to be similar to those of children. How can they be worried?


    Seeing Aldridge silence, Barnett said right in the video: "Aldrich, maybe in your heart I am indeed a person who does not have too much passion for football, but I am your brother, like twenty Years ago, when you were bullied, I will take you to beat the person who bullied you. I will always be your brother. In the past, no one could bully us, now, too. Yes, I don¡¯t Caring about football, why should I care? I only care about whether you are happy, knowing that you are engaged in football, you will be happy and satisfied, which is enough for me, but if you are not happy, then I should be yours Family members are by your side."


    Aldridge suddenly looked up, looking at Barnett who was faintly in the video. The shadow in front of him seemed to overlap with the glass decoration worker who was twenty years ago. Barnett who could become a ruff anytime on the street, he Big brother.


    Andrew hugged Aldridge''s shoulders.


    At this moment, Aldridge felt happy.


    For his happiness, it is when he needs him most. There are family members, friends, and brothers around him. Instead of perfunctory comfort, he stands firm on his side and takes action on the same front line with him. , To resist, to get back, and to pay the price to those who bullied him!


    Aldrich informed Barnett of his ideas, and Barnett also informed Aldridge of the resources he could provide, so they met in the study to discuss the specific measures implemented.


    This night, sleepless.


    At dawn, Audrey fell asleep at home, and Carter and Andrew also left. They needed sleep to restore their spirits, and then they had a big fight!


    Turn the European football world upside down!


    This morning, the front page titles of Fleet Street and the mainstream media of European football are almost all the titles of "Falling Lion Dynasty"!


    The controversial punishment in the game is naturally the focus, including Millwall fans rushing to the court, Aldridge¡¯s anger against the fourth official¡¯s physical movement, and the scene of the riot outside the Lion King Stadium after the game.


    In the foreign position, Fleet Street is of course defending Millwall, collectively accusing the head referee of improper penalty, and the goal of Ronaldo and Kaka being blown away, Messi injured his opponent Cordoba but escaped the penalty, Ronaldo Major controversial events in the game such as being violated, injured and falling but being sent off with a red card in the penalty area were highlighted.


    Just after noon on that day, UEFA responded.


    A UEFA spokesman said at a news conference: "After repeated research and confirmation, there was indeed an error in the referee''s law enforcement in the Champions League match between Millwall and Inter Milan, but this is football, and the referee is also a person. Something went wrong...


    In response to the excessive behavior of Millwall during the game, including Millwall coach Audrey Hall¡¯s threat to the fourth official, physical abuse, and the act of Millwall¡¯s official cancellation of the post-match press conference. UEFA''s preliminary decision to ban Adrich Hall for a six-month European match ban! If Millwall disagrees with this penalty, the appeal period is 15 days.


    During the game, Millwall fans rushed into the court to threaten the personal safety of the referee, and after the game, the fans broke out on the court. After the investigation, UEFA confirmed that Millwall has a management failure, and Millwall needs to pay 100,000. Penalties in Euros, as well as the fact that no fans will be allowed to enter the group stage of the European competition in the next season! Similarly, if Millwall has objections to this penalty, the appeal period is 15 days.


    ..."


    UEFA moves quickly, although it does not absolutely protect the referee team, it recognizes the referee team¡¯s law enforcement mistakes, raises verbal warnings, and also deprives the referee team of future intercontinental clubs¡¯ law enforcement qualifications this season, but UEFA obviously It is to guide the outside world to the bad side of Millwall!


    Millwall fans rushed to the field, the head coach started the fourth official, and the fans made troubles outside the court after the game, attacked the Inter Milan bus, and even came out this morning: a death threat to the law enforcement referee team on the spot!


    Obviously, UEFA is trying to guide the attention of the outside world and magnify Millwall''s "stain" in this game, thereby giving the outside world an impression that Millwall deserves the crime and gaining public opinion support.


    On this day, just after noon in Europe, the morning of the United States, Barnett, who has always been the behind-the-scenes master, suddenly called a high-level meeting to pressure those companies on the grounds of controlling the heavyweight proportion of most network companies. In the afternoon, almost All pressured companies sent representatives to participate in the meeting.


    Participants include Google, ASK, Facebook, Yahoo, Wikipedia and other giant Internet companies that rank in the top of the global world''s visits. They also include Google''s YouTube, Blogger and other social sites that also have huge customer resources and visits. In Europe, there are also influential Internet companies such as Ciao, Splut, Wlw, etc. who also sent representatives to attend.


    Barnett, who has always made a lot of money, has not shown all his energy. In the online world, he has continuously invested, continuously integrated resources, and constantly accumulated. He has an international network empire and is hosting this conference. At the time, Barnett thought instead that when he needed to make a major investment decision, he would always ask Aldridge¡¯s views. Although Aldrich¡¯s attitude was understated each time, he was ¡°yes¡± and ¡° No" was given to Barnett¡¯s answer. Maybe YES and NO sounded simple. But Barnett couldn¡¯t figure it out for many years. Perhaps Audridge was lucky, let him have the wealth and wealth he has today. Resources.


    The Hall family is about to go to war, to fight against UEFA for Aldrich!


    Barnett closed his eyes and smiled after the meeting: Then fight!


    In his eyes, UEFA is a fart!


    Soon, several portals or social networks with great influence all over the world, including the national websites that radiate the locality, published the special report of the Champions League game. Although there is no one bit that it is the UEFA that is doing Millwall, you can pass The pictures and videos in the report seem to be neutral but have a directional article with sandy projections, subtly influence the viewer, and point the finger at UEFA!


    At the same time, it is also amplifying the problems of UEFA itself, corruption, black transactions, lack of supervision and so on.


    Those who are not interested in football will watch it hilariously or ignore it, but as the world''s first sports football, there are many followers around the world. It has set off a frenzy in the online world, attacking UEFA, will UEFA is defined as a tumor.


    At 5:30 pm on the day that UEFA announced the punishment against Millwall, Millwall held an official press conference.


    Fleet Street reporters swarmed, as did reporters from all over the world in England.


    The press hall was overcrowded, really shoulder to shoulder. Journalists without seats wanted to raise the camera in their hands to take a picture, and they all had to raise their eyes and press the shutters one after another.


    The reason why the press conference was so late was because Aldridge was sleeping and resting during the day.


    He didn''t want to appear in the public''s field of vision with an exhausted image, which would undoubtedly weaken his momentum a little, or deliberately seek sympathy.


    Millwall does not need mercy!


    Only the weak need sympathy!


    The atmosphere in the press room was rather weird, and everyone held their breath as if suppressing something.


    Everyone knows well that Millwall will not easily accept the UEFA punishment, just like UEFA fined Audridge¡¯s improper fines last year. Audridge¡¯s response in person will not be paid. In the end, it is not impossible. It?


    What about today?


    How will Aldridge respond?


    First of all, Millwall''s Champions League defending trip was eliminated and became the victim of the referee''s law enforcement mistakes in the game. They must be full of anger. At this time, they will be punished. How can Millwall accept it?


    Of course, if you change to another team, even if you are a big player, maybe you really accept it. You have a dumb loss. There is no way. The football world is sometimes so unreasonable. Who will let UEFA be a three-regardless zone? Big, the biggest FA!


    This is true for the FA, UEFA and FIFA!


    But many reporters who are familiar with Aldridge have an intuition in their hearts: a young coach will not easily admit defeat!


    It is not a "law enforcement error" that can easily allow Millwall to accept the result of the end of the dynasty.


    When Aldrich appeared in front of everyone, he was on stage. The long-dead reporters were suddenly excited and raised their hands to ask questions!


    Aldridge walked to the center of the stage and turned to face the audience, with a ruthless expression.


    UEFA, the war you want to start!

 Chapter 1191： heavy bomb!

    The Millwall Club Newsroom became very chaotic after Aldridge arrived.


    But after Aldridge raised his hands in a quiet gesture, the scene quickly stabilized.


    Before sitting down, Aldridge said lightly: "Today¡¯s press conference will have two parts. The first part is to answer questions about Millwall¡¯s Champions League game the day before yesterday, and the second part is outside the game. One part, I will answer the questions of the outside world as much as possible, please keep order."


    After he finished speaking, he sat down, and everyone quickly raised his hand. The press officer chose the reporter who sat in the first row to represent the BBC.


    The reporter asked: "Sir Hall, for the controversial penalty in the Champions League game, first, when Messi was injured, the referee blew Kaka''s goal, but did not show Cordoba a yellow card. Second, C Ronaldo''s good ball was blown away. Third, C Ronaldo was shoveled in the penalty area but was shown a second yellow card and was sent off. Fourth, the entire game Inter Milan players were repeatedly fouled by the referee. Ignore."


    Aldridge said after five seconds of silence: "First of all, the overall law enforcement level of the referee team in that game was amateurish and doubtful. They came to the game with a clear position against Millwall and became the protagonist. . Messi was shoveled, the referee can give us a foul without giving a penalty, then Kaka¡¯s goal should be effective, but since he has blown, and regardless of the seriousness of the foul from Cordoba, as well as As far as the offensive interests we get on the offensive side, Cordoba deserves at least a yellow card, but the referee did not show the yellow card, which laid a tone for the whole game, the back of the scene is out of control, the player foul action is out of line, it seems Very normal thing.


    C Ronaldo''s goal is no problem, I think that ball does not need to watch the video repeatedly to discuss whether C Ronaldo is offside. At first glance, it is obviously not. Why did the referee raise the flag? I don¡¯t know, but I will doubt! The referee didn''t want Millwall to win!


    This was further confirmed after C Ronaldo was sent down by Maicon in the penalty area.


    If the referee didn''t award Maicon a foul and allowed the game to continue, I can still convince myself, but he gave C Ronaldo a false fall?


    Ha ha ha, this is the most absurd thing.


    On the court, some players will kick or shovel on the opponent''s legs!


    So, shouldn''t the players being kicked and shoveled have self-protection awareness and reaction?


    In this case, there are only three options.


    First, kick back and see who was injured. This is of course not allowed in football matches, so C Ronaldo did not do that.


    Second, standing there without avoiding, letting the opponent kick, letting yourself bear the risk of injury, serious injury, broken leg, bid farewell to the professional arena, or even becoming a disability, not avoiding is not a warrior, a fool, sorry, C Ronaldo is A smart guy, he made the last choice.


    That is to avoid, this is the most basic self-protection response, but unfortunately, he did not completely avoid, he was kicked, and the wound on his right leg at the time proved that he was indeed kicked!


    The referee not only ignored such obvious evidence, but in turn gave C Ronaldo a red card.


    I can''t believe any other explanations except that I can make sure that the referee does not want Millwall to win. "


    There has been the most direct and positive response to the controversial part of the game.


    Aldridge pointed his finger at the referee team!


    The reporter immediately raised his hand to ask questions, and the press officer indicated that the second reporter could ask questions.


    "In the game, we saw the irrational behavior of Millwall players, including De Rossi taking the lead to almost trigger a large-scale conflict between the two teams, and your physical violation of the fourth official on the sidelines, and Millwall fans. After rushing into the court to try to threaten the personal safety of the referee, after the game, the incident of street fans broke out, how do you explain these?"


    Aldridge was silent for a few more seconds, then said loudly: "Everything can''t be viewed separately! Because from the beginning of the game to the end of the game, the event center that really affects me, the players and the fans, the three roles and groups, is the game! We focused all our attention on the game. Millwall did not play the game to make trouble, if it was to provoke trouble, we can¡¯t go today! We will not have the largest number of fans in the world! I repeat, yes The referee team, as the black law enforcement officers in the green court, they did not uphold the fair and fair position to guide the game. They let the scene get out of control and caused Millwall to suffer huge losses. Will I apologize for my behavior? No! Why should I apologize? The referee of that game was the murderer! They murdered the game, they succeeded, and Millwall fell to the top 16 of the Champions League, hehe, I will be angry, why am I not angry? When you suffer injustice When? What would you do? Do you swallow? Or you will say, I should complain to UEFA!


    Sorry, now I¡¯m not sure if it¡¯s useful to complain to UEFA, because that game revealed a strangeness before the game, the referee who should have enforced that game was suddenly replaced, UEFA¡¯s explanation is that it is scheduled The referee''s body is unwell. Oh, this explanation, I don''t accept it! Millwall also does not accept it! UEFA accuses Millwall of negligence in management. I would like to ask: Who can punish them when UEFA fails? "


    As soon as Aldridge''s voice fell, everyone was shocked!


    I just accused the referee team, but now it is aimed at UEFA!


    The response of the young commander is more intense than they thought!


    While all the reporters were in shock, Aldridge continued to say: "The first part is over, the game has nothing to talk about, Millwall was conspired to stifle the chance of consecutively defending the Champions League, which reminds me of UEFA claiming back What the media joked about the UEFA Champions League trophy: UEFA is having a headache if Millwall has won four consecutive Champions League titles, what should they do?


    None of that matters.


    Now, I want to announce something outside the game.


    The UEFA ticket has been faxed to the Millwall Club today.


    For all UEFA penalties, Millwall''s response is: do not accept!


    If in the society we live in, a group of thugs suddenly appears to cause harm to you, and you still have a huge loss after you make a counterattack, but the authorities have come to accuse you of being guilty, because you made a counterattack, hehe, if this is Acceptable, so why don¡¯t we be a mob? "


    "Sir Hall, will Millwall appeal?"


    A reporter from the audience asked loudly without permission, probably because everyone was in a tense moment and forgot the rules.


    Aldridge said lightly: "No questions will be accepted in this session, but since you said it, I will answer it once, not as an example. We will not appeal, as for the reason, you will understand later.


    In view of the significant tendency of the referee''s position in the game, as well as the subjective judgment of Millwall that caused the law enforcement error!


    Millwall has reason to doubt the innocence of the referee team. Like me, I wonder if they are involved in gambling? Is it possible to make a big profit by taking the opportunity of law enforcement, as far as I understand, the return rate of Inter Milan to the quarterfinals of the Champions League is very amazing.


    Therefore, Millwall has compiled a material this afternoon. The team of lawyers hired by the club is acting as a representative to seek assistance from the European Union. We contacted Europol and hoped that they would investigate whether the referee team was guilty!


    At the same time, we will bring a lawsuit to the European Sports Arbitration Court because of a major mistake in the UEFA Champions League! We asked to investigate that game, all relevant personnel must prove their innocence, and finally asked UEFA to compensate Millwall for a conservative economic loss of 100 million pounds! "


    After Aldridge finished these words.


    The scene was silent.


    Very shocking!


    All the reporters were ignorant, thinking that everything that happened in front of them was untrue!


    Is Aldridge crazy?


    Not only did he tear his face with UEFA, but also report the case! Also sue UEFA!


    Claim 100 million pounds?


    Oh, this is what Millwall can do by simply tinkering with a financial report, and you don¡¯t have to take it seriously, but if you want to make a loss, make a discount. There must be 50 million pounds.


    When everyone was shocked and speechless, Aldridge dropped another bombshell!


    "For a long time, Millwall has participated in football with a fair and fair competitive sports spirit. I think the most fundamental foundation of a sports competition is fairness. As the world''s attention, the Champions League is the most influential club event in football, but it is in the game. There has been a shame in this event, which has undoubtedly dampened the love of many people for football. As a practitioner, I feel very sorry and sad.


    If there is no guarantee of a fair competitive environment, what is the significance of this sport? Will it become a tool of wealth accumulation for those in power? Or a stepping stone to ambition? I don¡¯t know, I just know that that game overturned my understanding of football. Even if there have been many cases of counterfeit in the past and there have been many controversial games, I try to accept them as rationally as possible and tolerate others¡¯ error.


    But this time, I couldn''t understand what happened in that game.


    Referring to UEFA¡¯s statement today, we think that since UEFA cannot control fairness, we can only seek help from the outside world. Now, we hope that the EU can intervene and give me a place where I can sleep peacefully. Explain that there is also a sports arbitration tribunal that should also give Millwall justice!


    Before the above matters are resolved, as the owner of the Millwall Club, I announced: Millwall will withdraw from UEFA''s events indefinitely! "


    boom!


    All the reporters at the scene almost fell while standing, and stood up directly in shock!

 Chapter 1192： Under pressure

    Nyon, Switzerland.


    UEFA headquarters.


    Platini saw the official press conference held by Millwall in his office. After Audridge said "Milwall exits UEFA''s events indefinitely!", the press conference ended. After a brief silence on the scene, the crowd was turbulent, and even a reporter rushed to Aldridge and asked Aldridge more questions frantically.


    Yes, the reporters are crazy.


    As for UEFA President, Platini''s expression was momentary, and he smashed the TV remote control on the wall with one hand.


    At this time, UEFA officials pushed in and screamed at Platini.


    Of course, not everyone in UEFA has bowed to Platini, especially since he has just taken office, and the internal has not been completely stable.


    "Go to your mom''s and say no to G14! Go to your mom''s suppression of the Premier League! Go to your mom''s reform! Now it''s good! Are you satisfied? The most successful in the history of the Champions League, the most high-profile team in this era, withdrew from the Champions League! We are under attack now! Not only will we face EU intervention immediately, but we will also give an explanation to the world! We have warned you! We have warned you! Don¡¯t change anything without permission! You **** think it¡¯s as easy to govern European football as you play It depends on how you end up now! You better beg God to worship Millwall not to incite the G14 collective rebellion, in that case, we will all be buried for your stupid reform!"


    Platini defeated Johansson by 27 votes to 23. It is conceivable that at least half of the members of UEFA did not support him a few months ago, and most of them opposed him. The traditional elite faction did not take a cold on his reforms, and now Millwall¡¯s withdrawal from European events broke out, which naturally became the handle of the previous opposition attack on Platini!


    Look, what did you do just after taking office?


    ...


    London bombed, England bombed, and the chaos within UEFA was also bombed!


    Millwall announced that he would withdraw from the club¡¯s European events and became the first in the global news list that day!


    Shocked world football!


    Platini thought that time could play down everything, but on the next day, Europol announced that it was involved in the investigation of the Champions League game, looking for evidence of artificial manipulation of the game, and the European Sports Arbitration Court was forced to accept the overwhelming pressure of public opinion. Millwall''s lawsuit request!


    At the same time, the hot discussions caused by the online portals and social platforms have begun to affect the real world!


    UEFA is a bit overwhelmed.


    At this time, Blatter did not dare to speak up for UEFA to "suppress" Millwall, because the real-world discussion topic center has been too far away, and he has even focused on how corrupt the UEFA organization is. How many black deals exist, it seems that from the image, UEFA has become a target.


    The FIFA itself is not clean, Blatter can¡¯t wait to hide far, so as not to endanger the pond fish.


    The next afternoon, Platini could not bear the internal and external pressure, secretly went to London, through a reliable intermediary, to see Aldridge!


    On this day, Millwall was busy internally.


    They are busy with sponsors.


    Their main sponsors came to ask about the club¡¯s future.


    In the blockbuster sponsorship contract, it will inevitably give the team the qualifications to join the Champions League, to participate in the Champions League and absent the Champions League, sponsorship fees are two concepts.


    In this regard, Millwall is psychologically prepared to inform the sponsoring partners that they can perform the contract. Whatever is specified in the contract, it will be executed as it is. Whether the contract will be renewed after the contract expires will be reviewed later.


    Sponsors wonder whether Millwall really wants to bid farewell to the Champions League for a long time, or just say it as a fierce threat to UEFA.


    In the present situation, in the eyes of those who take economic interests as their first goal, this is a war without winners!


    Millwall will lose, UEFA will lose, and both sides will suffer huge economic losses!


    No winner!


    Millwall did just that!


    When Aldridge had dealt with the sponsor, he was notified by Andrew.


    Platini has come to London, hoping to meet him privately.


    As for the conduct of the agent, many things are carried out in secret, and the predator in this line, Andrew, such professional ethics must also be followed, although at this time he went to expose the news that Platini came to London. Millwall will be more favorable.


    Why?


    If UEFA is right, why did Platini come to see Aldridge?


    He came to London from Nyon, and he did not dare to be upright. It was a signal that he was not going to recruit himself.


    However, Andrew still abides by the unspoken rules of the industry, because if he is exposed, it is equivalent to selling another middleman contacted by Platini, and secondly, he will become "untrustworthy", and his reputation in the industry will sharply deteriorate.


    Aldrich did not go to Yin Platini. He changed the car three times in the evening and quietly came to an inconspicuous restaurant. To Aldridge was surprised that Platini met him. The place is actually a Japanese restaurant.


    Maybe there are few Europeans here, or the private dining room in Japan is more confidential.


    When Aldrich came to the box, Platini sat at the dining table, but did not follow the Japanese dining etiquette. Aldridge stood at the same place after the door closed, staring lightly at the European football power now standing Pinnacle man.


    To be honest, he does not have much respect for Platini, although the era of Platini players is great, but, sorry, we are not a person of the era, I heard only your legend, and the legend is Aldridge The least interesting is that it is too ethereal and unreal. Just as he was with Puskas at first, he didn¡¯t have much admiration, and even defeated the old man with the most utilitarian technical and tactical means.


    Platini is also staring at Aldrich. In the past, he did not understand what was behind Aldridge. At best, it was like the media introduction: a rich kid.


    But the reason why he can''t bear the pressure this day is that UEFA certainly has media energy and connections.


    They hope that the online media will stop focusing on UEFA and UEFA Champions League negative reports.


    But the response received surprised UEFA.


    Sorry, we may or may not have a cooperative relationship.


    But that''s just cooperation.


    And our current job is an order issued by the company''s top management!


    Listen to you? Don''t do it.


    Then you will lose your job!


    Platini understood at this time what kind of energy the family behind Aldridge represented.


    At this moment, Platini did not consciously whisper, in his view, Millwall''s decision to withdraw from the European competition is just a means of coercion!


    In order to recover the lost benefits.


    Just as there was a premise in Aldridge¡¯s words, Millwall withdrew from the European competition before things were resolved.


    What is the solution?


    God knows.


    The investigation by the European Criminal Police may be protracted, and the hearing of the sports arbitration court will also be one hearing after another. God knows when the dust will settle.


    Moreover, the football game itself has blurred boundaries.


    The referee just makes mistakes and cannot convict the mistakes. Is it objectively inevitable or subjective and artificial? It will be an endless debate between lawyers.


    Platini reached out to Aldrich and said, "Mr. Hall, since you are here, let''s talk about the business, let me listen to Millwall''s conditions."


    As soon as his words were spoken, Aldridge was very disgusted in his heart, as if the air was filled with decay and darkness, representing the dirty and shameless behind-the-scenes transactions in the political circle.


    Aldridge walked to the dining table as usual, and when Platini thought Aldridge would sit down, the surprise changed suddenly.


    Aldridge slammed on the back of Platini¡¯s right hand and pressed hard to the table, bang!


    Platini''s eyes widened inexplicably and found that half of his face hit the table, and he didn''t bounce. Half of his face was numb.


    boom!


    Aldrich''s left hand picked up the glass on the table and smashed it on Platini''s head. The fragments of the glass flew, and the blood from Platini''s head fell on the table, forming a thin line. Long blood flow.


    Platini angered, but his head was less than five centimeters away from the table, and was pressed back to the table by Aldridge''s right hand!


    boom!


    Compared to the crispness of the second time, this sound is dull.


    Platini''s heart was full of tears and his pupils shrank, and he couldn''t resist.


    Maniac, maniac, maniac, maniac, maniac! ! ! !


    Aldridge leaned down in Pratini''s ear with a cold face: "Maybe you haven''t played for a long time, and you have forgotten the hard work of the players for their career, so you can carelessly obliterate others. Everything, now, my players are still lying in hospital beds, my players are in the lowest point of their careers, all caused by you! Don¡¯t deny that if you are conscientious, you will not appear here! Let¡¯s talk about the conditions Football is not a sale in my eyes, I want, you can¡¯t give me, I want to go back in time, I want the game to be fair, can you give me? And you appear here, but there is no apology, this Meetings are meaningless."


    Aldridge let go of his hand and pulled a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe his hand, preparing to turn and leave.


    He was not afraid that Platini would call the police and sue him for wounding.


    In fact, if Platini is found secretly coming to London at this moment, and meeting with Aldridge, he will have more troubles than entanglement with Aldridge.


    Aldrich didn¡¯t want to reason with him, it didn¡¯t make sense.


    This is the case in this world. It''s not that if you want to reason, someone is willing to reason with you.


    And Platini''s opening was to talk about the conditions, which made Audridge disgusted. This opening speech was terrible.


    It seemed that I had ignored the damage suffered by Millwall, which made Aldridge intolerable. I couldn''t help but get out of control and violently beat me up!


    Well, after playing, I feel pretty cool.


    It may be more comfortable than hearing the other person''s apology.

 Chapter 1193： Maniac Declaration: How to make you go alone

    Platini stood up at the table, holding a tissue to cover the wound to stop bleeding, while raising his hand to keep Audridge.


    He didn''t want to stage a hand-to-hand fight with Aldridge here. The power of the two hits just now made him understand: in a fight, he couldn''t have been a less handsome younger than him!


    He came to London to solve the problem!


    Even if he was beaten by Aldridge, he could still hold back and stay calm.


    He still worried that Aldridge was setting him up.


    He was forced to admit some words that would be used as evidence, so he used diplomatic rhetoric to say: "Mr. Hall, please stay away! On behalf of UEFA, I apologize to you and everyone at Millwall for the failure to oversee the game Including your fans! But this situation is not what we want, and it must not be what you want. We should sit down and settle the current problems calmly and friendlyly."


    Aldrich wiped his hands slowly, a bit unlucky, his right hand was injured himself, and his left hand was also scratched by the glass debris when he smashed the glass in the head of Platini, the wound was not big, but Bleeding too.


    He wiped the wound, turned around, walked to the seat opposite Platini and sat down, intending to hear Platini''s solution.


    Although Platini''s image was more embarrassing at this time, at least a big rock fell in his heart.


    As long as Aldrichken sits down and talks, all problems can be easily solved.


    Aldridge remained silent most of the time in this conversation, and was quite tough.


    In the end, the solution given by Platini, or compensation for Millwall, included the award of Millwall¡¯s second Champions League authentic trophy, admitting that Millwall¡¯s three consecutive Champions League championships from 2004 to 2006 have been saved. The power of the authentic Champions League.


    Some other commitments are less binding, what strengthens the supervision of future competitions, and ensures that there will be no disputes in the competition environment.


    Aldrich gave a symbolic consent before leaving.


    Platini left London relievedly.


    On the same night.


    Fleet Street, after Millwall announced its withdrawal from the European competition, in addition to looking for Millwall staff to explore the tone, learn more about the inside story, and Millwall''s future plans.


    More, there are paparazzi who want to know what Millwall players think.


    Millwall will not participate in the Champions League in the future.


    Will you, a master voter, a world-class superstar, stay in Millwall?


    However, the players were given a password and even if they were blocked by the paparazzi, they would keep silent.


    But on this night, a number of media reporters on Fleet Street tracked that most of Millwall¡¯s players drove to a nightclub in the city at night. They thought it was the ¡°corrupted and indulgent catharsis¡± after the players suffered a major defeat, but the reporters mixed in the nightclub. It was found that Millwall¡¯s players gathered in a box, and many parties inquired that there was no girl in the box.


    Come on, come out to play, there is no woman, is that called play?


    Especially unusual is that Ronaldinho, the king of nightclubs, was not accompanied by a woman. The good boy Kaka entered the nightclub in London for the first time. Even Millwall, now Southgate, who is now serving in the FA, also came here.


    They spent about two hours in the box of the nightclub, and then the door of the box opened, and most of the players left. Finally, Ronaldinho and several players played in the nightclub more restrainedly for a while. Leave.


    The next day, Aldridge came to the club to work as usual, and the days would continue.


    The Premier League weekend''s league will arrive the next day, but he read today''s newspaper and learned that Millwall players had a party last night, combined with the team''s recent events, which made him a little helpless.


    When the sun went down, he returned to the office. This day, the preparations for the league''s training were in order. No player was willing to talk to him about the team meeting last night. This was normal, but in this sensitive period, it is inevitable that Aldridge will be kind. The idea of ??being rejected by the players.


    Players also have their own ideas, Aldridge understands.


    He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in his office, waiting for a player to knock on his office door, and then submitted to him a transfer application.


    And now he has to sort out a set of words to persuade the players to keep in mind.


    This should also be normal, but Aldridge is sad.


    After waiting for a long time, Aldridge did not wait for someone to knock on his door, his phone rang.


    It was Carter.


    "Now you come to the Millwall Press Hall, the club is holding a press conference."


    "Huh? What do you mean? Why don''t I know?"


    "It was the team players who made their own claims. Well, I agreed, but I think you should come over now."


    Aldridge hurried away after hanging up the phone, his brow furrowed.


    Players hold a press conference?


    What are you doing? !


    It''s almost impossible!


    However, if the player really wants to leave, it is not the most sensible way to announce it directly!


    This will damage the reputation, as well as contractual constraints. Such a formal public expression at the press conference not only bears the infamy of the traitors, but also bears the constraints of the club¡¯s internal contracts, and the players will only be controversial.


    Aldridge came to the press hall. At the side door, Carter stopped his intention to rush into the press conference, but just calmly reached out and signaled him to look on the stage.


    The press hall was naturally packed, and the aisles were packed with reporters.


    On the stage, sitting in the middle is Captain De Rossi. The players sitting on his left and right sides are Ronaldinho, Nesta, Henry, Kaka, Villa, Alonso, Nedved, La Silsen, Silva, Ram, Butt.


    De Rossi was solemnly speaking into the microphone with a speech.


    "As Millwall players, we are honored and proud of playing for this club. Here we have all the honors. We have experienced many difficulties with the fans and overcome many obstacles, especially in the coach Sir Hall With the help of ours, we have achieved brilliant career achievements. The unfair treatment of Millwall in the Champions League game made us unable to calm down. The club made a decision to withdraw from the European competition indefinitely in the future, although that does not represent our players¡¯ Position, but here, I am not as the captain of Millwall, but only as an ordinary player to announce to the public: I will stick to the position of the club and I will not participate in the club¡¯s intercontinental events in the future until Milwaukee. When I returned to the European War, whether I played Millwall or not. There is a formal statement here with my signature and some of my teammates¡¯ signatures. This is our declaration!"


    De Rossi stood up and took out a printed statement from under the speech and picked it up for display.


    The reporters left the meeting one after another, and gathered in front of the stage to shoot with the camera and record with video.


    The content of the statement is roughly that players no longer participate in club intercontinental events until the day when Millwall Club returns to the European War.


    At the signing place, not only De Rossi, but also Nedved, Larson, Ronaldinho, Henry, Villa, Kaka, etc., not only the players present, but also many did not attend the press conference , A player who plays a backup role at Millwall, such as Neil, Pedretti, Ramall, etc.


    However, there were no signatures from Ronaldo, Messi, Buffon, Ramos, but the media did not care much about who signed or who did not.


    They were completely shocked!


    Yes, Millwall''s unilateral withdrawal from the European War can only be said to be the withdrawal of the club, which cannot represent the players.


    If the player wants to participate in the European War, just transfer and leave!


    So in the past two days, the voices from the giants of Italy, Germany, Spain, are: hollow out Millwall!


    On the one hand, the economic strength of Millwall''s withdrawal from the European War will decline with Japan. On the other hand, the attractiveness of the European War to the players. Other giants are eager to hollow out Millwall''s star. This is normal. It is inevitable that Millwall has started to play a leading role in G14 in the past two years, but G14 is an interest group. When there is a chance, it is inevitable to dump mercilessly!


    Just like Juventus was almost hollowed out, even Trezeguet, Piero and others stayed in the team, considering their age, when Juventus returned to the top ranks, they all arrived. At the end of his career, value is declining.


    But now this voice comes out brightly, and publicly announce, what is the result?


    This group of stars not only firmly stood on the united front with the Millwall club, but also made other giants discouraged. It is conceivable that if other teams come to dig Millwall stars, then in the contract terms, the players are bound to Join the clause not to participate in the European War!


    if not? Wouldn''t it be my own face? Become a laughing stock!


    This statement, in this period of UEFA football''s sudden and transformative incident, is historically called: Maniac Declaration!


    Aldrich stood at the side door and shocked physically and mentally!


    When the announcement was over, serious De Rossi showed a smile. He and the other teammates who stood up on the stage were about to leave from the side door, but they saw a dull Aldridge, and they showed their unwillingness together. With a smile, his eyes are quite relaxed, and even a little joking.


    Yes, they didn''t tell Odrich about this today. It wasn''t a sudden attack to play. It was between the master and the disciple.


    Over many years and many times, Aldridge shielded them from the wind and rain, confronted the world for them, and sent the warmest encouragement and support to many of them when their lives were low, helping them out of their difficulties and changing their lives, Bring them to the top!


    When the club is in unprecedented difficulties, facing the seemingly unbeatable behemoth, challenge the times, challenge the order, and resist the oppression of the unfair fate!


    This time, this time.


    Aldrich Hall, boss!


    How can we make you go alone again!


    The sky is falling, we will carry it with you!

 Chapter 1194： Internal problem

    After the incident that the fans called the "Lion King Stadium Massacre" appeared, most people thought that the controversy of this matter was all, but unexpectedly, Millwall set off a burst of madness, which shocked the entire European football world. After the most successful team in the Champions League withdrew from the European War, a group of top contemporary players jointly announced that they will also withdraw from the European War, pushing this frenzy to an unprecedented climax, which is shocking!


    The FA can''t sit still!


    The FA''s chairman should interview Aldridge and persuade Millwall to exercise restraint and calm.


    Millwall is the flag of the Premier League, and in a sense can also make a profit for the FA!


    Even if there is a "Lion King Stadium Massacre", as long as you look forward, turn this page, and next season, next season, I believe that with the pressure of external public opinion, plus the FA itself itself to the UEFA after the incident Protests were put forward to put pressure on UEFA, and everyone was unspoken: UEFA did not dare to black Millwall for the second time!


    But Millwall couldn''t swallow this breath!


    How can they be reconciled to be beaten from the peak of the dynasty by forces other than football?


    Platini just returned to Nyon, and thought it had been properly resolved. Only when time passes and the event fades, everything will be back on track.


    Unexpectedly, I just returned to the UEFA headquarters and heard the declaration issued by Millwall''s top players!


    He didn''t contact Aldridge anymore: we clearly talked! Why do you regret it? What are your players doing? Are you rebelling?


    He knew that when UEFA made substantial compensation, he and Aldridge met secretly, and what they promised verbally did not matter. The key is action!


    However, UEFA can''t suddenly send the Champions League trophy to Millwall at this turbulent wave, then it is not self-initiated and fell off.


    The main sponsors of the Champions League can''t sit still!


    They have sent representatives to put pressure on UEFA.


    Millwall''s withdrawal from the European War will have a direct negative impact on the influence of the Champions League brand.


    But the Champions League sponsors have not thought of getting involved, because Millwall is a club, and a large part of the Champions League brand comes from the star effect!


    This top stage brings together more than 95% of the top contemporary players.


    Millwall does not participate in the European War, but when the summer transfer comes, maybe their stars will transfer one after another.


    This is the most normal view.


    Millwall''s income will be reduced, and the finance will be under pressure, forcing him to sell the star.


    The stars themselves will find another way out because of the appeal of the Champions League.


    But now it is different. Millwall''s star has announced his withdrawal from the Champions League!


    This loss is incalculable.


    You can¡¯t imagine how many fans watched a football match, but it¡¯s not about watching a supporting team, or wanting to know how the game ended, because there were Zidane, Figo, Baker in that game. Ham, Ronaldinho, Henry, Nedved, Kaka, Ronaldo, Messi, Raul, etc.


    Taking Real Madrid as an example, Real Madrid is still Real Madrid, but after Florentino stepped down, the Galaxy Warship fell apart, Zidane retired, Figo switched to Serie A, and aliens also switched to Serie A in winter, Beckham is about to go In the major leagues, the value of Real Madrid''s brand fell rapidly during this period! It can be said that the image of the nobility differed from that of the Florentino period, and it became a civilian.


    This kind of decline is because the attention of Real Madrid has obviously dropped. Since the fans who want to watch the stars can''t see it, they may not stay in front of the TV and will not go far to the Bernabeu to watch a game that will be memorable for a lifetime. and many more.


    The same is true for the Champions League.


    When Ronaldinho, Nesta, Kaka, Henry and other superstars who have great attractiveness rely on one person on this stage, the impact on the brand value of the Champions League is inestimable.


    The player value system in UEFA is a pyramid. There are so many top players, it does not mean that Kaka will not play the Champions League. Then Juninho Jr., who shines in the Champions League, can replace it. No, this does not eliminate anyone. Or whoever replaces it, the existence of the superstar, the attraction is independent.


    UEFA assured the sponsors that they will still see Millwall in the Champions League next season, temporarily dispelling the doubts of the sponsors.


    At the weekend when the league came, the Lion King Stadium was still crowded, and today''s stands are spectacular.


    Around the stands, the fans showed a word to the world.


    "No one likes us, it doesn''t matter!"


    In the club, he sued UEFA with a tough attitude, and even simply called the police to claim that it was a fake ball that was artificially controlled!


    It caused an uproar in contemporary football.


    The fans stood firm with the team at this moment.


    Although there are also protests in the fan organization, Audric unilaterally announced the club''s withdrawal from the European War, which is quite a bit of a word.


    Aldridge was still a bit worried about whether the team was in a low mood after the Champions League was eliminated, and the fighting will decline significantly.


    However, in this league, Millwall players turned their grief and anger into a motive force, which showed their kingly temperament well.


    Messi is still recuperating, Ronaldo has a minor injury and was placed on the bench, and Schneider was just lying on the bed after surgery.


    Millwall actually slaughtered the visiting Blackburn 6-0 with Kaka and Villa''s double-hat trick at home!


    When Kaka scored his first goal, he jogged to the sidelines and took the initiative to embrace Aldridge. The team''s generals were united at this time.


    The same is true of Villa, and after scoring the goal, he showed the words written on the front of the vest: at this moment, we are together!


    While Millwall won the league victory, there was also bad news revealed by Fleet Street.


    For example, Kaka and his father had a fierce verbal conflict. Kaka''s father was very dissatisfied that Kaka signed the name on the "Crazy Lion Declaration"!


    Regarding that his son may not appear on the top stage in Europe in the future, Kaka¡¯s father believes that Kaka¡¯s mad lion journey has come to an end. Since Kaka cannot be given the best here, then Kaka should transfer to leave, other clubs , Willing to give Kaka the highest treatment, the core soul of a team is not the only one!


    But Kaka did not obey his father, so the two broke out in a verbal conflict.


    There is also Messi who is in rehabilitation. The news is that Messi has decided to terminate the contract with Andrew Hall¡¯s agent, and his father will be the agent, and his father is actively contacting the two Spanish majors. A giant, hoping to sell his son.


    Buffon, Ronaldo, and Ramos did not sign the Maniac Declaration.


    Ramos has just played the main force and his attitude is not clear. This is normal. After all, his career can only be said to have entered the top ranks. He can¡¯t play the Champions League. For him, it is too difficult to accept. It is temporarily unknown to submit the application for transfer.


    Buffon had no excuse for not signing. This was his first year in Millwall. Although he won the Golden Globe with the help of Millwall¡¯s great influence, he has not won it in his career. Having been to the Champions League, I definitely have thoughts about the Champions League.


    The most important thing is Cristiano Ronaldo. Cristiano Ronaldo has no signature and looks calm, but the calmness placed on the bench in the league makes people wonder what he is thinking. The team is a little out of place, or looks distracted.


    Players such as Ronaldinho who have made a declaration, other giants want to dig and throw away the mouse. I am afraid that these players will stubbornly refuse to represent the team to participate in the European War, so even if you spend a lot of money to buy it, you will lose the gain! The price is too great!


    But in Ronaldo, Messi, Ramos, European giants began to compete.


    Because of Buffon''s age and the goalkeeper position, other giants either have stable candidates, or Buffon''s value and salary are too high, so few people are interested.


    Ramos wanted to be at the top of Millwall. This season has already been successful, but the sudden encounter made him a bit caught off guard.


    But at this moment, he was kind of counseling, he did not dare to be a bird!


    Yes, the vast majority of his teammates stay on the team and support the club. If he leaves first, no matter how he does, he will bear the infamy of the traitor.


    So although he didn''t sign, he still decided to wait and see.


    If other superstars "flee" first, he may be able to follow behind with an obscure role and find another way out.


    The final focus was on Messi and Ronaldo.


    Aldrich wishful thinking that Ronaldo and Messi would take the initiative to stand up without signing, it does not matter, but at least to declare their firm position to stay in the team!


    They were brought to Millwall by Aldrich before they were 12 years old!


    Not only Aldridge, even many of the staff around them watched them grow up day by day, year by year!


    However, what disappointed Aldridge was that both of them kept silent silently.


    Rumors of transfers from the outside world are getting worse.


    Real Madrid¡¯s new chairman, Calderon, invited Capello back, but Capello has been criticized by fans during his coaching this season, just like his first coaching Real Madrid, almost exactly the same!


    At that time, his Real Madrid and Barcelona were also inseparable in the league, and now it is the same.


    And Real Madrid fans attacked Capello with the same voice: they hate defensive football!


    Under such controversy, Capello has conflicts with the team''s stars. Calderon knows that his future cannot rely on Capello, even though Capello may be able to bring Real Madrid a trophy at the end of the season.


    Therefore, in the launch of the new phase of construction, Calderon violated his campaign program. He was against Florentino''s superstar policy, but now he has to introduce superstars to regain confidence and alleviate internal pressure.


    He locked this goal on Ronaldo.


    Another Spanish giant is because of Messi¡¯s father¡¯s self-recommendation, and he has a strong interest in Messi, especially Messi¡¯s outbreak this season makes them think that such technical players are very in line with Barcelona¡¯s team-building strategy.


    Ronaldo went to Real Madrid and Messi went to Barcelona.


    This is a topic that has been discussed in UEFA for more than a month.

 Chapter 1195： Laozi will yell at you!

    The controversy surrounding UEFA is far from over. The investigation by the European Sports Arbitration Tribunal and Europol has not been settled in a day, and UEFA will be in a whirlpool of controversy.


    This is exactly what Millwall needs to create an atmosphere of external public opinion, which exposes UEFA to the outside world for a long time and is negative.


    Millwall bid farewell to the European war and gained momentum on the domestic front. The team did not have a shocking defeat and collapsed their mentality. Instead, they burst out with a stronger momentum.


    The league is once again defending its title, and the FA Cup is also in full swing.


    But in mid-April, the topic surrounding Millwall came from player transfer issues.


    In mid-April, the day before the start of the Premier League, when Aldridge attended a press conference, in the face of doubts from the outside world, Aldridge said lightly: "Messi¡¯s injury has not fully recovered, he needs a more relaxed training method. To restore his status, C Ronaldo''s situation is more complicated. Previously he spent a lot of energy in multi-line combat. I think he needs to give him a proper rest. Therefore, the two of them are now training in the reserve team."


    That''s right!


    In mid-April, when Ronaldo and Messi allowed the transfer market news to become more and more lively and sound more and more authentic in silence, Aldridge made a decision.


    Messi and Ronaldo kicked out of the first team, decentralized to the reserve team!


    Andrew is still Messi''s agent, but the contract is about to end.


    The fuse is the two through the agent, that is, Andrew "ask" to Audridge!


    The content of their complaints is basically the same.


    They all think that Aldridge''s preference for another person is too serious!


    Ronaldo thinks he is not the team''s first in Aldrich''s mind, Messi thinks so.


    Although it wasn''t stated clearly, the two actually thought that the other was more valued by Audridge.


    There is really nothing about Kaka, because although Kaka is already very good, after all, the team¡¯s first scorer is the most eye-catching. Kaka¡¯s goals in one season accounted for 20% of the total goals. Not at all.


    Their complaints are only superficial.


    The profound meaning that Aldridge can understand is: to threaten!


    Yes, both of them are threatening Aldridge on the condition of staying on the team and making themselves the boss of the team!


    This battle of the kings has finally come to the final result!


    Cristiano Ronaldo has had a very bad season this season. It should have been a big burst season, but he was affected by the follow-up to the World Cup event. He was booed by fans in the English football field and was continuously amplified by the media. His behavior on the court was good. Ignore, the bad is hyped.


    And he has a reason to feel threatened on the team.


    Messi has not participated in the league''s league games since the Champions League injury.


    However, now Messi tops the list with 23 goals in the Premier League shooter list, leaving other opponents far behind, and Messi''s goal efficiency this season is nearly one goal per game!


    This has reached the efficiency of the peak Henry of the year. It was such a big explosion that made Messi soar quickly and became the star of the world.


    Because of this, Messi¡¯s ambitions have also grown rapidly. If he can become an absolute core at Millwall, this is a step forward to sit directly on the throne of European football!


    The news that the two were deported by Aldridge to the reserve team was interpreted by Fleet Street as a precursor to the sale of the two!


    Why?


    This is a precedent in Millwall.


    When Stam left, didn''t he spend his last days in the reserve team?


    However, Aldrich did not have the idea of ??selling the two in mind, this is punishment!


    No matter who you are, you can''t threaten me!


    From the depths of his heart, Aldridge felt a tremendous ice cold. Ronaldo and Messi¡¯s approach at this time may be understandable, perhaps smart, but Aldridge is emotionally unacceptable, he feels Deeply hurt!


    If it was ten years ago, he might let two people leave, perhaps one, and leave one.


    But today!


    Do not!


    He won''t do it!


    It was cultivated by one hand, and he has the power to decide the game. It is a superstar of green field nuclear weapons. He sold it to others?


    In the future, when Millwall returns to the European War, when he wants to open up the dynasty again, this nuclear weapon is likely to hurt himself. Such damage is far more serious and painful than selling any of the star players ten years ago!


    Aldrich doesn''t do such a stupid thing!


    Even if it was cruel, he couldn''t do it!


    If Millwall cannot have you!


    Well, then I will destroy you!


    ...


    When people are talking about how Millwall will fall into the striker shortage after missing Messi and Ronaldo.


    The veteran Larson, the central villar, and the newcomer Aguero were temporarily formed as a trident by Audridge. Millwall not only advanced into the final in the FA Cup, but also advanced four rounds of the Premier League at the end of April. Defending successfully!


    This trident teamed up with 17 goals in 6 games!


    Counting the strong performance of Kaka and Nedved, Millwall''s offensive firepower after the Champions League exit seems to be more terrifying!


    For Larson, the outside world can only praise him. At his age, he can still play the heat when the team needs it and promote young people. Like Nedved, it is a model.


    Some media commented: When C Ronaldo and Messi are in trouble, maybe they should clear their heads and open their eyes wide to take a good look at their predecessor Larson! When we were injured in the Henry League in March, we thought that Millwall¡¯s offensive firepower would plummet, but Larson, a legendary wild lion that has been neglected, contributed 2 goals and 8 assists in 7 games played. The veteran who is almost 36 years old is always working hard, always putting the team''s honor first, we should pay tribute to Larson!


    If Aldridge does not give C Ronaldo and Messi a long time to play, then this will cause a lot of controversy, and will also allow C Ronaldo and Messi to get sympathy, and even get free to leave directly to Bo Gongtang.


    Therefore, after the league''s successful defending, when the remaining games arrived, Aldridge transferred the two back to the first team, arranged on the bench, and let them play in the remaining 30 minutes of the game, whether they were willing or not, happy.


    Millwall also had a cold war with Messi and Ronaldo in the dressing room of the first team, which made Ramos look frightened on the side.


    De Rossi bluntly told the two: Do ??you want to leave Millwall? Haha, I promise you will regret it the day after you leave! And will regret it for life!


    The final key game at the end of the season is the FA Cup final with Manchester United.


    In this game, Aldridge still did not list Ronaldo and Messi as the starters, but gave the young teenager Aguero the opportunity.


    What frightened Messi and Ronaldo was that the speed of Aguero''s soaring was also amazing!


    In the second half of the season, Aguero, who was entrusted with the task by Aldridge, did not disappoint him, and he performed well in consecutive games.


    As if it were a silent warning: don''t be arrogant! Millwall is not without you, you can''t live!


    Henry, Aguero, Villa, Kaka, this front-court attack group did not perform best in this FA Cup final with Manchester United. After all, Aguero still lacks some experience and there are not many problems in the ordinary league. However, the pressure of the finals and the improvement of his opponent''s level have restricted his performance. However, Millwall still beat Manchester United 2-1 and won the FA Cup this season.


    The three crowns of domestic rule!


    In the Champions League, Benitez led Liverpool of the Red Army to the top of the Champions League with an unstoppable trend!


    This makes the UEFA internal confusion even more.


    Platini wants to suppress the Premier League, okay, did away with Millwall, because of the attention of the outside world, it is absolutely necessary to maintain fairness and objectivity in the following game. As a result, Liverpool topped the Champions League. ...


    At the end of the season, Millwall won the local triple crown. Just one week after their championship, UEFA held a press conference to announce that Millwall¡¯s three consecutive Champions League championships from 2004 to 2006 have permanent preservation of the Champions League trophy. that power!


    Retrieving the trophy before was just a misunderstanding.


    At the same time, UEFA also announced that it will deprive the club of the right to save the UEFA Champions League trophy from now on. UEFA will only use the authentic trophy at the UEFA Champions League award ceremony or when displaying the trophy.


    The outside world knows this is that UEFA has softened to Millwall!


    And Millwall also rightfully holds two Champions League authentic trophy!


    Platini believes that Millwall¡¯s revolution is over, the storm has subsided, and everything will be back on track.


    At least most people in the outside world think so.


    Now that UEFA has made compensation and Millwall has accepted it, should it be rainy or sunny?


    However, when the new season arrived, Millwall still announced that he would not participate in the Champions League, which made Wenger laugh!


    Arsenal was still fifth in the league last season, but Millwall did not participate in the Champions League as a Premier League champion. Arsenal luckily reached the Champions League!


    Platini is ignorant!


    Was put together by Aldridge!


    When he came to London secretly again and wanted to interview Aldridge, Aldridge simply rejected his request to meet!


    I don¡¯t want to see you!


    I don''t want to talk to you!


    Yeah, I''m mad at you, what''s wrong?


    Do you want to reason with me now?


    Sorry, I don¡¯t want to make sense.


    You ruin my dynasty, I ruin your future!


    Champions League sponsors have come to question UEFA.


    They think that in dealing with the Millwall storm, UEFA''s work is very, very poorly done!


    Moreover, the policy promoted by Platini is also not very satisfactory to the sponsors.


    A group of league champions after the 10th place in the league, want to have an eye-catching performance on the stage of today''s Champions League, this **** is simply a group of clowns singing big plays!


    This is not the time when the Benfica, Celtics, Bucharest Stars, and Belgrade Red Stars could touch the Champions League 20 years ago, 30 years ago, or 40 years ago!


    Now, what the world wants to see most is the killing of the giants in the five major leagues, and even the three major leagues!


    Without Millwall, one of the protagonists, the attractiveness will drop significantly!


    Even if Millwall is the most successful team in the Champions League, their absence from the top of the lineup will appear to be a misnomer in the so-called "championship match"!

 Chapter 1196： showdown

    In the summer of 2007, the Millwall Club went to the Asian gold rush, allowing the team to leave Europe from the preparation period. In the transfer market, Real Madrid¡¯s pursuit of Ronaldo entered a substantial stage. Messi¡¯s father and Barcelona seemed to An agreement was also reached in secret, and Barcelona also provided Millwall with an offer that seemed very expensive to the outside world: ¡ê50 million!


    Yes, ¡ê50 million, it looks absolutely at least twice as valuable as Messi now!


    Because he is young, there is potential, and he can be stronger!


    But this offer Aldrich didn''t even bother with it, neither said to Barcelona: Your offer is insulting. There was no further response on this issue.


    Anyway, Millwall''s transfer window is closed.


    No one sells!


    For the time being, there is no prey that the team needs to buy in the transfer market.


    After the Asian gold rush ended, he returned to London and the team will start the new season.


    At this time, the peripheral qualifiers of the UEFA Champions League also kicked off, and Millwall reached a moment when he had to express his position.


    The club is still very calm, but just took note of the FA, allowing the fifth place in the Premier League last season to play in the qualifiers, which is Arsenal.


    Originally Arsenal was quite chaotic, Wenger''s days were getting worse day by day, but unexpectedly this day''s falling joy eased the fans'' worries.


    Has the Champions League played fifth in the league?


    Such a good thing!


    Sure, why not?


    The Champions League is allocated according to the league ranking. If Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool all withdraw from the European War, Tottenham, Everton, and even Bolton, who ranked eighth in the league last season, can replace the Champions League. It is another matter to be deprived of the basic qualifications for participation.


    Although Millwall issued a statement a few months ago, their players also issued a declaration, but really got to this point, it still shocked the world''s football media!


    Everyone thought that UEFA and Millwall had settled the dispute through private consultations.


    I didn''t expect peace to be just an appearance. At the critical moment, I still embarked on the road of no return to the jade and stone!


    Yes, everyone thinks that Millwall''s actions are self-defeating and that UEFA will certainly be hurt, but this approach of hurting the enemy by 800 damages to 1,000 is very unwise to most people.


    The shadow shrouded in UEFA is the anger and mistrust of Platini, along with the pressure of the direct economic benefits brought by the sponsors, and the sense of crisis of the external regulatory intervention in the investigation. The reforms undertaken by Tini¡¯s election as the new chairman were extremely disappointing.


    In front of Millwall, it will be a relatively easy season. They do not have a European war mission. They have made three domestic lines. Although there are many games, they are definitely easier than before, and the pressure is much less.


    After Millwall decided not to participate in the Champions League in the new season, the British bookmaker first closed the odds for Premier League Millwall to win the Premier League in the new season. The other 19 teams made bets casually, but the odds for Millwall to win the championship Sorry, they didn''t open the market, and then expanded to Europe, as well as bookmakers in other parts of the world, all closed the odds for Millwall to win the Premier League title.


    Without the consumption and pressure of the European War, Millwall continued to rule the Premier League in the new season and there seems to be no suspense.


    But what they are facing now is the positioning of Messi and Ronaldo!


    The two have never had the courage to stand in front of Aldridge, staring straight at his eyes and telling the thing about the transfer.


    I don''t know if they don''t want to leave, or wait for the other person to leave and stay for themselves.


    This stalemate has quickly evolved into a tumor in the Millwall locker room. If it is not resolved, there may be no room for recovery. As the teammates become more distrustful of the two of them, they will become more isolated. When they really make a decision , Almost cut off the possibility of staying in Millwall.


    The community shield game in the new season has three days to start. Millwall''s team is in good shape. Aldridge''s work is still in order. Most players are not discouraged. How can he lack fighting spirit?


    After the training on this day, Cristiano Ronaldo was training alone on the training ground. He seemed absent-minded, training long-range free kicks again and again.


    Kicked a lot.


    Last season was a bad season, at least he thought so.


    Disgusted by his fans'' open teeth and claws against his media, against this background, the rise of Millwall''s new hero, Messi flew into the sky, and made him feel that he did not get the attention he deserves in the club. Is the absolute king of the new generation of the team!


    Aldrich has promised that the team will return to the European War within three years. This is confidential information inside. It is closed like a locker room and no one can reveal it.


    Three years, he can afford it.


    He just needs his boss to tell him personally: You are the absolute core of Millwall!


    He needs this status to climb to the top of the world and become a legend of football.


    But Aldridge did not express his position, which made him somewhat discouraged.


    The conditions offered by Real Madrid are very tempting, it can be said to exceed the material and internal commitments that Millwall can give him.


    However, in these years, from the perspective of Real Madrid''s performance in the European War, Ronaldo is not sure whether it is a career advancement to run to Bernabeu in the name of a traitor.


    In his heart, the most feared thing is: Millwall, a phenomenal club, has no shop after this village!


    In case Millwall returned to the European War and destroyed the dynasty to open up the dynasty.


    Then there is no doubt that the players of other teams of the same generation, no matter how good they are, will be the background and the background! Embarrassed, it can only be used as green leaves to contrast Millwall''s great transcendence!


    In particular, Real Madrid has a variety of news every season, which makes the city stormy. A farce shows the outside world: how can such a team play well?


    His mother persuaded him to go to Aldridge and tell her thoughts. She thought Aldridge would satisfy him as much as possible because her mother confirmed Aldridge as a kind-hearted person.


    But Cristiano Ronaldo did not go, he had angered Aldridge, and he was afraid that if he really said his idea, Aldridge would be completely knocked into the cold palace!


    I don''t know when a figure appeared on the training ground. Ronaldo didn''t know how long the man had been watching. He turned his head to look at the man and said hello.


    "Hi, Burt."


    It was Aldridge''s eldest son, who was already famous at Millwall Football School, and he was very strong, like a little lion, full of vitality every day.


    Burt stood there far away, and after Ronaldo greeted him, he shouted loudly at Ronaldo: "A selfish ghost without conscience! My dad gives you everything when you have nothing, and my dad stands up when you are scolded To protect you, my dad paid more attention to your growth at home than in the past many years than he and I Earl spent! He can clearly say every month your height, your weight change, your running The speed of movement, physical condition, if you are sick, he will nervously let the doctor go to see you, and will visit you! When I and Earl are sick, my dad still has to direct the game! The team needs you most. What are you doing when you are? What are you doing? Selfish ghosts! Selfish ghosts without conscience! I will never worship you again!"


    The child shouted, turned around, and ran away.


    Ronaldo closed his eyes and stretched his hand against his chest. Suddenly, a feeling of self-blame and guilt burst from the depths of the body, and soon swept the whole body...


    After the training, Messi returned home.


    Now he lives in a villa that is not only decent, but very luxurious.


    Andrew came home, he brought some documents, just ended the broker contract with Messi, but out of personal emotions, he introduced a lot of network business resources to Messi''s father.


    When Messi ended his contract with his agent, Andrew was not dissatisfied.


    After all, Messi was not poached by his peers.


    It¡¯s just that Messi¡¯s value is higher, his salary has risen, he¡¯s earning more money, and the sponsors are constantly coming to the house to sign an advertising contract with him. It may be astronomical.


    So I want to take back this part of my income and let my father act as a broker.


    Andrew''s mentality is very good. Most of South American football is in this situation. His business in South America is not mainly to be a player agent, but to buy out the ownership of the player directly. Most players will find their own relatives as agents.


    For example, the most famous player transfer event in Europe recently, Tevez and Mascherano, their ownership is in the hands of the brokerage company. The outside world does not know that Andrew is almost half the boss in that company.


    After briefly introducing these sponsor resource information to Messi¡¯s father, Andrew planned to get up and leave, but Messi¡¯s father suddenly said: ¡°Andrew, can you tell Sir Hall, Millwall accepts Barcelona¡¯s Quote, I know our family has received a lot of care and favor from Sir Hall, but Barcelona is willing to bid 50 million pounds, and additional terms can be increased to 80 million pounds, Millwall made a lot, really a lot."


    Andrew, who was about to walk to the door, stopped and turned around, not looking at Messi''s father, but staring at Messi who was sitting on the sofa as if he had been lingering for a long time.


    He looked away and chuckled, then looked at Messi again, saying: "It has nothing to do with money, really, really has nothing to do! For Aldridge, give him ¡ê1 million and he will be able to get through this happily All his life, and he has a net worth of more than 5 billion pounds, he does not care how much the bargain price in Barcelona. Since a long time ago, the transfer of players was not business in his eyes, not business! He is my younger brother, at this time, I want Say a word for him: Messi, if you really have a grateful heart, don¡¯t try to reward him with money, it is an insult! You are like his child, he grew up watching you, understand You have suffered from illness for many years in the past. He let the club focus on taking care of you and nurturing you. The time and energy he spent on you cannot be bought by money! I know what you want to say, you may still be entangled. If Aldridge really values ??you that much, why wouldn¡¯t you sell C Ronaldo and leave you to make you the most watched king of the Lion King Stadium? I am not your agent now, so I can say what I say Come out and ask you: you and C Ronaldo both want to be Maradona of Naples, but why can''t they be Disstepano and Puskas of Millwall?"


    Andrew turned around and left.


    Messi stared at the back of his departure.

 Chapter 1197： Historic handshake!

    Early in the morning, Aldridge woke up from his sleep, and it was just dawning. I wondered whether his work was easier than before because of the absence of the European War, so he went to bed early at night and woke up early in the morning.


    Putting his arms on his chin and looking down at Yiwen, he stretched out his hair and gently pulled away the hair that fell on his face. Yiwen turned over confusedly. Aldridge smiled softly and walked to the bed lightly, changing after washing Wearing a sportswear, I was about to go out and saw Bonnie dragging a large doll to stand on the stairs. Every time I saw Bonnie dragging or holding the doll, it made Audridge feel awkward because the doll was It was the birthday gift that Kaka gave him before. The reduced Q version of Aldridge became Bonnie''s toy when he took it home, most of the time at home.


    Aldridge raised her finger to make a loud gesture, and Bonnie covered her mouth with her right hand, her big smart eyes blinked, and then quietly asked, "Daddy, where are you going?"


    Aldridge squatted down in front of her and smiled, "Go for a run? Go together?"


    Bonnie rolled her eyes, pretended to yawn, pretended to be awake and shook her head, then walked towards her room.


    "Little lazy worm, let you go today."


    This daughter is very different from her two older brothers. Both Burt and Earl are athletic boys and can''t rest at all. Bonnie spent a period of time lazily staying in her room besides practicing the piano at home. Watching the animation, when he found out that she was fat, Aldridge took it seriously. Whether she listened or not, she had to take her to exercise.


    Leaving home and jogging in the nearby park to breathe fresh air, Aldridge didn''t listen to music, he needed to think.


    When the new season was about to start, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi did not submit an application for transfer, nor did they publicly express their willingness to leave the team in front of the media. Before that, Audridge suffered some injuries, and now at least there is some maneuver, at least, His heart was not completely broken.


    However, the window paper still needs to be pierced, and Aldridge intends to openly discuss with them the last time after returning to the club today.


    Back home, Yiwen had already prepared breakfast, and she also woke up earlier. Aldridge drove to work alone after having breakfast at home.


    Probably because I slept too long, I felt a bit lazy even after jogging in the morning. I bought two cups of coffee halfway and gave the guards a cup when I came to the club. I walked into the office with a cup of coffee.


    Two days later, the community shield will be hit. Today¡¯s training will start at 10 am and Aldridge will arrive at the club at 8 am. Because he has an important meeting this afternoon, he will sort out the information.


    At 8:25, two cars drove into the Leo training base. The doorman was drinking the coffee sent by Aldridge. He was surprised to see this scene because he saw Messi and Ronaldo almost in tandem. Arrived at the club, and it was still so early, although these two are well-known for their hard work, it is just too early today!


    Parked in the parking lot, Ronaldo in casual clothes and Messi, who also dressed casually, got out at the same time. The two people''s parking spaces were separated by four spaces, and the two stood in unison and stared at each other.


    About 20 seconds later, the two took their steps together and walked towards each other.


    When the two men stopped walking face to face, they extended their right hands in unison, holding each other and smiling slightly.


    In this laugh, it seemed that the haze of the past few months had swept away.


    Unfortunately, no one around can record this scene with a video camera or camera, otherwise, it will become a nostalgic classic picture in the future.


    The two knocked on the door of Aldridge''s office together. Aldrich had just sorted out some of the materials. At this time, he stood in front of the window and looked at the landscape. This was also the work habit he had developed to avoid overwork.


    Pushing the door open and entering the office, Messi and Ronaldo saw Aldridge standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. At this moment, when the sun was rising, the orange light shone into the room, which made Aldridge look like golden light.


    The two closed the door, walked to the desk together, and said in unison: "Boss, good morning!"


    Hearing the two saying hello and the picture of the two coming together, Aldridge seemed to realize something, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his face looked like the clouds, and he suddenly nodded at them.


    ...


    In the afternoon, Millwall trained as usual. When Audridge came to the training ground with Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi on the left and right during the morning training, the teammates also realized that the disharmony in the team had completely disappeared, and Captain Derow West bowed his head softly and scolded: "Stinky kid."


    These two people have a bit of personal interest, and it is not an exaggeration. After all, their talents and abilities are obvious to all. It is too lofty to sacrifice something. The stronger the ability, the stronger the capital that can be obtained.


    In the afternoon, Aldridge handed over training to the new assistant coach Pochettino.


    In the summer, Millwall''s player lineup has not changed, but the coaching team has changed dramatically.


    Boas left and returned to Portugal to take charge of the Porto pointer.


    Blanco left and returned to France to take charge of Bordeaux.


    Stella Maggioni stayed in office to take over the job of Boas. In the new phase of teaching assistant recruitment, Pochettino, who was retired soon, came here admirably. This was the main player of Argentina in the 2002 World Cup. The Argentinian with experience has long admired Aldridge. At least that Argentina''s fiasco was not only Pochettino, but also had a great impact on Argentine players such as Simone, which was unforgettable all his life.


    Since then, Pochettino has become a member of Millwall''s new coaching staff.


    There is one less coach than before, but Millwall has no Champions League tasks this season, and the lack of one coach is not a big problem. The coordination of work quickly adapts to the current situation.


    Aldridge waited for the arrival of a pedestrian in front of the office building.


    The media outside the training base swarmed, and two cars drove into the Millwall training base.


    The protagonist from the car simply greeted the reporters and walked into Millwall''s training base.


    They are FIFA people.


    But it was Beckenbauer who led the team.


    At the moment when Millwall withdrew from the European War and paid practical action, the storm was at the forefront. Millwall and UEFA were completely opposed. FIFA sent a team to coordinate this matter, hoping that the matter can be properly resolved. .


    Aldrich personally welcomed Beckenbauer outside the office building, and the two then walked into Aldrich''s office together.


    For the UEFA general election a year and a half ago, Johansson failed to defend the European base camp. Although Beckenbauer was "highly promoted", he was actually put into a cabinet. For this situation, Beckenbauer felt embarrassed and perhaps ashamed. .


    But Aldridge didn''t take it seriously, thinking that the history that had been settled was meaningless.


    He greeted Beckenbauer warmly and opened a bottle of good wine in his office. This meeting was not as formal as expected. Although other FIFA entourage officials wanted to participate, he was directly cooled by Beckenbauer outside the door. There is still some majesty at this point, so let them wait outside, and no one dares to protest.


    Beckenbauer was originally in FIFA, quite disheartened, but at this time saw the turning point!


    Since Blatter recently wooed him and wrote him some empty checks to reconcile the ¡°civil strife¡± on the European side, Beckenbauer knew what was happening in Europe and made Blatter restless.


    Because Platini is losing control of the situation.


    Therefore, Beckenbauer''s visit was considered a violation of yin and yin. He just sat down in Aldridge''s office, took a drink with Aldridge and tasted FIFA and UEFA.


    "They intend to give G14 some benefits in exchange for G14 concessions. Once G14 is tempted, Millwall''s situation may be completely isolated."


    As expected.


    Aldridge has this consciousness.


    Especially when it comes to the summer of 2007, half a year after the original history, G14 will announce its dissolution.


    Platini''s sticks and sweet dates, and the split in the G14, the G14''s presence is much weaker than before, and there is no need to continue to survive as a civilian team''s poisoned tumor vampire.


    Now is a key fork.


    G14 compromised FIFA and UEFA to accept the olive branch they handed over, or there are other options to get more benefits.


    Aldrich asked his chin while touching his chin: "What is it?"


    "Large case last year, er, is that players are injured in international games and financial compensation for the club. FIFA and UEFA are willing to sign an agreement with G14 to protect the club¡¯s interest in being injured by the player being called by the national team. This The initial budget of the agreement should have hundreds of millions of euros."


    Aldrich nodded. Last year, G14 supported Lyon in a lawsuit against FIFA. Unfortunately, because there are no specific legal provisions to support the victory, FIFA said with a cold face, no, and the rejection is the conclusion. There is no follow-up development.


    However, if FIFA and UEFA have expressed their willingness to discuss this issue with the G14, it is a sign of goodness and new benefits for the G14 than before, although that is what the G14 deserves.


    This may make the G14 compromise, concession, and agree to the conditions proposed by FIFA and UEFA.


    After all, under the current system, it is better to have an additional benefit guarantee than nothing.


    Aldridge was silent for a while. He was unwilling to play such a great sweet jujube game with UEFA or FIFA. It was too utilitarian and too explicit. Football turned from a commodity into a political tool.


    Beckenbauer suddenly asked, "What are your plans? I came here this time just to hear your plans."


    Aldridge saw Beckenbauer''s eyes hot, obviously with a hint of excitement.


    It seems that Emperor Bei is not willing to be lonely. He wants to go to this muddy water. Anyway, he is really in a shallow water in FIFA. Maybe there is a trouble, can there be a turnaround?


    Aldrich¡¯s mouth twitched a playful smile, and he had a toast with Bayer, and leaned in front of him to whisper: ¡°You helped me get the German club, Bayern Munich, Dortmund, Leverkusen, the three G14 members are absolutely Support, I will send you back to Europe as UEFA President!"


    Beckenbauer''s eyes widened suddenly, and the heat instantly became sharp.


    On this day, Aldridge talked to Beckenbauer for three hours. At the end, the two stood up and formally shook hands!

 Chapter 1198： Undercurrent surge

    On August 5, the community shield went to war.


    Millwall defeated Manchester United 3-1 in the Millennium Stadium to win.


    After the game, Aldridge and Ferguson had a close talk in the conference room of the Cardiff Millennium Stadium.


    "Alex, we are open and honest, and you are approaching retirement age. In these years, you have the motivation to continue to lead the Red Devils. It is nothing more than letting go of Manchester United. I am afraid that Manchester United will not be as glorious as you left. Milwaukee. I have a plan now. I dare not say that I hope to get Manchester United¡¯s support in order to help the Red Devils return to the top. But the assurance I can make is that the realization of this plan will at least make Manchester United ten years, twenty years, or even three. Ten years, has been among the top ranks in Europe! And you will be one of the founders who contributed to this situation."


    Closed the door, as far as Aldridge and Ferguson were concerned, he didn''t speak up and spoke with Ferguson so honestly.


    Ferguson just lost the game, although the mood is not good, but it is not so bad. After all, the community shield is a semi-warm-up match. Moreover, the strength of Millwall¡¯s lineup is obvious to all. The investment of the Red Devils has dropped significantly in the past two years. The giants do not match, and even the introduction of Tevez can only be a loan, not a direct buyout. The impact of Glazer''s entry into Manchester United has already been revealed.


    Ferguson looked at the young coach against UEFA and told the truth, when Millwall announced his withdrawal from the European War, Ferguson felt emotional: really young! Dare to do it!


    He actually admired Aldridge. With such courage, not many people dare to make it in today''s UEFA.


    He asked playfully: "Do you want to unite the G14 to put pressure on UEFA, or let the European giants get rid of UEFA completely?"


    The follow-up development of the matter is not difficult for the outside world to guess. Among the few roads that Millwall can take, as long as it is not ambiguous, it is really not as a decline after the European War, then the choice is only Ferguson¡¯s mouth. Two roads.


    Aldridge replied seriously: "The latter."


    Ferguson still has an unsurprising look. He seems to have a foresight. Moreover, his vision of the European Super League must be no stranger. It has always been Edwards'' dream.


    After thinking for a while, he asked: "Why don''t you go directly to the boss of Manchester United? As far as I know, the Glazer family in the United States very much hopes to establish friendship with the Hall family, but, like your mysterious elder brother, look no On the Glazer family, in the past two seasons, Manchester United played against Millwall. The Glazer family will send representatives to watch the game on the spot. They just want to try their luck to see if they can get on the line with the Hall family."


    Although Barnett was British, he became very mysterious in the United Kingdom, because after he made his fortune, he moved to the United States, rarely appeared in Europe, accompanied by a surge in wealth, and the momentum is getting faster and faster, and his mysterious color is also It gets thicker.


    As for the capital level of the Glazer family, it was really shabby in front of Barnett.


    Aldridge whispered: "Yes, I went directly to the Glazer family to talk, because of their greed, they will inevitably join, because that will bring them more benefits, but this is a matter in the football circle, I Of course I have to talk to you, only you understand the consequences of this plan."


    Ferguson rubbed his temples with a sigh in his heart, and Aldridge in front of him made him unable to refuse.


    In the more than ten years of dealing with Millwall and Aldridge, Manchester United has behaved disgracefully, but on the Millwall side, it is always fair and honest to treat Manchester United. Perhaps this kind of openness has made the old Scottish heart. Ashamed.


    He eventually nodded to Aldridge and chose to support Millwall''s plan. As for Manchester United, he will come forward and there will be no opposition.


    The board of directors of Manchester United regarded Manchester United as a business long ago. As long as they can make money and make big money, they will only be rushing, and will never look on the sidelines.


    ...


    The 2007-2008 season Premier League curtain opened. For the fans of the Lions who are worried about Ronaldo and Messi''s transfer, Aldridge stands between the two players and caresses the backs of the two at the opening game this season. The entrance picture will make the audience unforgettable all their lives!


    Millwall also continued the unstoppable performance of the stadium after the rebirth of the new attack group.


    Within a month and a half after the start of the new season, before the beginning of October, in 7 league games, Millwall not only won all but also won the European football by scoring 31 goals!


    Millwall''s impulse is reflected in the fact that they want to tell the world: the strongest king is here! The Champions League name is not true!


    Millwall''s surpassing in the UK is strong, the more embarrassing UEFA!


    In early October, Millwall ushered in Arsenal''s challenge at home.


    Arsenal¡¯s new stadium finally came out, and the Emirates Stadium was put into use, which turned Arsenal¡¯s finances into a good one, but there was turmoil in the management. In the first half of the year, Arsenal¡¯s deputy Chairman Dane stepped down. During this period of power vacuum, Chairman Hillwood came to control the overall situation and published a new issue of Arsenal''s future construction ideas in the second half of the year: Wenger is the ideal candidate for the future chairman.


    Aldridge is not interested in who will train his successor. After the 4-1 defeat at the Lion King Stadium at Arsenal, Aldridge and Wenger, as well as Arsenal Chairman Hillwood, also had a close meeting.


    The content of the meeting was also Millwall''s hope for Arsenal''s support.


    Even though the new Arsenal stadium was built, it still has to repay its debts. The transfer market has been carefully calculated. For a long time, Wenger, a frugal housekeeper, has been suffering. This season, fortunately, Millwall withdrew from the Champions League and was able to return to the Champions League. He said that Arsenal owed Millwall a favor, because if Millwall directly gave up his qualifications, he would report to UEFA. UEFA could deprive Millwall of his qualifications without giving the Premier League other teams a chance to replace them. However, Millwall chose to solve the problem internally. They took note of the FA. In this way, UEFA did not dare to make more fuss, otherwise, it would directly flip the face with the Premier League!


    Aldrich bluntly told the Arsenal chairman and coach: "If we achieve the European Super League, the most conservative estimate is that Arsenal will pay off all debts within three years and will regain ownership of the capital in the transfer market. !"


    Such a right to speak does not only mean that you can pay a high transfer fee when buying players, but it will completely change the salary system of Arsenal. For now, the level of Arsenal''s salary system has completely lag behind the top European giants. !


    To put it bluntly, Aldridge just said to Arsenal: mix with me, eat spicy and spicy, and who do you want to buy in the transfer market?


    Arsenal is very excited about Millwall''s proposal in this regard!


    On the one hand, it is debt pressure, on the other hand, it is the guarantee for long-term development!


    You know, the negative impact of the absence of the Champions League last season was too much for Arsenal!


    After Manchester United, within England, Arsenal also stood on the side of Millwall.


    In November, Millwall visited Stamford Bridge as the enemy.


    Hiddink failed to survive two seasons, was dismissed by Abu in the early season with poor record, let Hiddink concentrate on leading the Russian national team, Grant appointed by Abu temporarily coached Chelsea, who will be in the future, I don¡¯t know. , Abu Po was a bit exhausted.


    Fuck!


    How difficult it is to run a football club game!


    Aldridge didn¡¯t talk to Chelsea¡¯s manager about any ideas about the European Super League. Grant was an out-and-out. His position at Chelsea could not be compared with Ferguson at Manchester United and Wenger at Arsenal.


    He did not go to Abu to meet, but through the middleman, his second brother Andrew.


    In the VIP stand of Stamford Bridge, Andrew sat side by side with Abu to watch the game. Abu seemed absent-minded and his appearance was not very good. The team was in a passive state on the scene, which really made him uninterested.


    Andrew suddenly gave Abu a document, and Abu opened it curiously, and there were some photos with an old acquaintance on it.


    Former Millwall CEO Adam.


    The content of the file made Abu''s face a little ugly, and there was also a recording pen. He put on headphones and listened, and his face was even more gloomy and scary.


    Abu put away the document and said in a deep voice: "Andrew, what does this mean?"


    The file contains information about Adam in the United States. The photos are photos of Adam after drunk and the call girl opened the room. The content of the recording pen is the "testimony" that was recorded with interest, and he was recorded from Chelsea. Charged a huge commission, betrayed Millwall''s internal secrets, and instigated players to leave Millwall to switch to Chelsea.


    If these contents are published, it will cause uproar, and Abu''s image of the lazy rich in the UK may also be heavily and negatively affected.


    Andrew reached out and patted Abu''s thigh lightly, saying: "Adam is a former worker of the Hall family. Even if he is a dog, he made a mistake. The Hall family should come to clean up. My elder brother has no eyesight to allow sand to enter the United States from Adam. Since that day, people have been secretly following him. Adam¡¯s ending will be miserable, and my elder brother doesn¡¯t want to make unpleasant things with your friend, so you can rest assured that this matter will not be made public, I will give it to you, It¡¯s the original, there is no copy, but in this matter, you owe at least one confession, the Hall family is willing to maintain a long-term friendship with you, and now, my elder brother will be very happy to see your Chelsea and Aldrich¡¯s Millwall teamed up."


    Abu relaxed slightly and asked Andrew for details, frowning after understanding: "But Chelsea is not a G14 member."


    "Chelsea has made a huge impact in Europe and the world in recent years. Although the stadium record is not the best, but at least it has been recognized by the world. At this time, you have a certain energy. Aldridge let me bring a sentence to You: Chelsea is nothing for the long and traditional Champions League, but for the new European Super League, Chelsea can be one of the founding members of the history!"

 Chapter 1199： Lobby

    After Chelsea entered the league from Abu, for many consecutive years, he competed with Millwall in the Premier League. In the Champions League, he has not only been able to enter the knockout game, but also won the runner-up. He has quickly established a good popularity base around the world .


    Fans do not like Yangchun Baixue and romantic gorgeousness all the same. Naturally, some people will appreciate Chelsea''s steel passion and perseverance.


    The green world will never be a style that has become mainstream, and it can be said that it has been in a state of contention for a long time.


    Abu himself was angry that G14 had kept Chelsea out of the door for a long time, but at this moment of turning point of fate, Millwall threw an olive branch, which made Abu stunned.


    Yes, Chelsea are not unknown in the current Champions League, but in terms of heritage and history, they are really anonymous.


    AC Milan, Manchester United, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ??Millwall, Bayern Munich and many other mainstream fans can laugh at Chelsea with fairness: Can you take a Champions League first? Then let''s talk about whether Chelsea is a giant.


    The development of the event is also predictable. Even if Chelsea won the first Champions League, other fans still mocked them: we have three, five, seven... Don¡¯t show off if you have won a championship, Nottingham The forest has won more championships than you!


    It is precisely because the history of the Champions League is too long, it is too difficult to overturn traditional ideas!


    The glory of those old almanacs will still be moved out by modern people with no face or skin to show off and talk about it.


    Abu must be a new participant in UEFA, and Chelsea is also a cutting-edge. At this time, bury the Champions League and open a new chapter, then Chelsea''s starting point is different!


    It can be said that it is re-competing with Real Madrid, Millwall, Bayern Munich and other giants at the same level. Ten years later, twenty years later, fans may not talk about the Champions League again, nor will they talk about the era of the Champions League. , They will only talk about the European Premier League.


    In addition, Abu did not want to lose his friend Barnett Hall. He really did not do a good job in digging the corner of Millwall to buy Adam. At this time, he took this opportunity to erase this matter. ,Why not?


    Chelsea also joined Millwall''s camp.


    At the end of November, Aldridge led his team to visit Anfield, the Reds won the Champions League last season, and the morale was greatly boosted. Irving¡¯s situation was more obvious than Millwall¡¯s Henry Ronaldinho¡¯s decline. Liverpool immediately sent Spanish Golden Boy Torresro accountable, enriched the fighting power, and bought Mascherano, Liverpool returned to Europe''s top ranks in one fell swoop.


    Just want to compete with Millwall in the Premier League, Benitez seems to be less powerful than Aldridge, Millwall¡¯s horrible stability is beyond the reach of other teams, Liverpool also occasionally drops the chain, and the state is unstable, although The Champions League is still in full swing, and the massacre is still staged in the group stage, but it is good to say goodbye to the championship early in the league, making the fans feel helpless.


    In fact, Liverpool also lacks money. Benitez¡¯s funding for these years has been raised by the boss who smashed the pot and sold the iron. This is really the case. The introduction of Kuyt¡¯s transfer funds is the Liverpool boss who mortgaged his mansion for a change. Here!


    Fortunately, Benitez did not let the boss down, led his team to the Champions League, and won the championship in one fell swoop, so that Liverpool''s financial pressure eased.


    But in the long run, the Liverpool boss is also aware of the crisis, so he sold Liverpool in the first half of the year, and American capital dominated Anfield!


    A few years after the original history, Liverpool''s acquisition was not resolved until the new boss John Henry took over.


    Because of the two Liverpool bosses now, Hicks and Gillette are completely scammers!


    The new stadium they promised to bring to Liverpool was not realized!


    The transfer budget they promised to Liverpool also regretted when each transfer window arrived!


    They just want to play a capital game where the white wolf sells low and buys high.


    So in the end, he wanted to protest against Bo Gongtang, making all Liverpool fans angry, and cheered when Henry bought Liverpool, as if to greet the savior.


    Now, after listening to the ideas elaborated by the representative of Millwall together with Benitez, these two bosses agreed without hesitation.


    Why?


    Earn money!


    Money, money, as long as you can make money, not to mention mixing behind Millwall''s ass, that is, they are happy to be grandchildren!


    These two bosses were anxious by Liverpool''s public opinion and the double pressure of fans, and almost fell into a desperate situation!


    Tony Barrett, the ace reporter of Liverpool''s local mouthpiece media "Echo", published a column during this period. He first questioned why the two Liverpool American bosses stopped the new stadium because they had no money at all, they bought The Liverpool club actually spent only 150 million pounds, and all other money was borrowed, and it was predicted that this loan from the Royal Bank of Scotland will drive Liverpool to death.


    In addition, there is also a contradiction between the boss and the coach within the team, the fuse is still money!


    Benitez expressed his dissatisfaction with the new boss in front of the media.


    Reporter: "How much do you think you can get in January?"


    Benitez: "I can only train and guide my team as usual."


    Someone asked again: "Do you have a goal to recruit now?"


    Benitez said: "I can only train and guide my team as usual."


    Another reporter asked: "What is your long-term plan?"


    Benitez said: "I can only train and guide my team as usual."


    The reporter noticed the question: "Anything upset you?"


    Benitez said: "I can only train and guide my team as usual."


    A reporter asked unwillingly: "Do you have anything else to say?"


    Benitez said: "I can only guide my team when training as usual."


    ...


    Against this background, Liverpool vowed to follow in the footsteps of Millwall, hoping that Millwall could lead them to realize that great vision, and make Liverpool financially rich. Everything was logical, and Millwall¡¯s lobbying had no resistance!


    Before the arrival of December 2007, Millwall completed the unification of the front within England.


    At the same time, Beckenbauer sent a message to Audridge. On the German side, Bayer lobbied secretly to lobby Bayern Munich. Needless to say, monopolizing the German Bundesliga is their consistent aim. They can obtain more benefits. Bayern Munich will not Missing such an opportunity, not to mention Bayer''s influence on Bayern Munich is not trivial.


    Dortmund recruited heavily and invested heavily a few years ago, leading to bankruptcy from 2005. The team has struggled in the league and has not yet gotten out of the predicament. At this time, Millwall wants to form the European Super League. Dortmund itself is The former powerhouse missed the European War, agreed without hesitation.


    Leverkusen also wants to establish his position in the country at one fell swoop, instead of fighting for the championship, and sometimes sinking. Although they dare not say that they will overthrow Bayern Munich¡¯s absolute **** of the Bundesliga, but at least they must throw away their interests. Lemme, Schalke 04 and other teams have gaps, so they are also very interested in this plan, especially the policy promoted by the Bundesliga makes them less financially competitive than the top European giants, transfer fees and salary treatment have huge limitations Sexuality, Leverkusen wanted to break free of this shackle, and actively catered to Millwall''s vision.


    The two major regions of England, Germany, and European mainstream leagues, Aldridge has completed the two parts of the puzzle before going to Italy in low-key in December.


    The trip to Italy went very smoothly.


    Moratti appeared in Milan to feast on the arrival of Aldridge. At the same time, Juventus and AC Milan representatives joined Aldridge to clean up the weather.


    AC Milan''s representative was Galiani as expected.


    The representative of Juventus is not the current club chairman Blanc, but a man of similar age to Audridge, the only adult male of the Agnelli family, Andrea Agnelli.


    After Juventus was relegated, the Fiat Group made a large capital injection to Juventus to obtain the actual control of Juventus. Juventus worked hard for one year in the second league and returned to the first class easily, although only A year after leaving the family, Serie A is already another scene. Inter Milan is the only one and AC Milan is old.


    The Agnelli family is very dissatisfied with Juventus''s high transfer budget in the new season but frequent mistakes in the transfer market. Therefore, the family is brewing to return to Juventus to rule. Agnelli Jr., Andre Jr. Ya is the representative!


    The impact of the telephone gate incident on the Italian arena continues, the ball market is sluggish, the stars have fled, the brand value has rapidly shrunk, etc., making the life of the giants not easy!


    Among the three giants, Inter Milan and Juventus are still going down. As long as the backstage boss is willing to invest money, everything is not a problem, but AC Milan¡¯s problem is more serious. Lao Bei does not know that it is because there are too many negative news off the court. Still knowing that he is destined to age, his political future has almost no future at all, he has become a prime minister, and he can no longer draw any votes. The enthusiasm for AC Milan is quickly fading, which is reflected in spending money.


    Coupled with Italy''s harsh tax system, AC Milan''s development encountered considerable difficulties.


    Although Moratti and the Agnelli family maintain their respective club operations, but want to maintain the team in the top ranks in Europe, the cost is very large, unimaginable!


    Therefore, when Aldrich came to Milan City, the three giants first put aside their grievances internally, first listen to what Aldridge will bring them, after all, they add up, the top three in the north, it is almost possible Represents the core strength of Italian football.

 Chapter 1200： Double strike

    The trip to Milan was easier than Aldridge¡¯s imagination. He thought that he was facing the top three in the north, which is Serie A¡¯s nest fight. Those, he didn¡¯t want to participate, so he went to Milan. It was like a trip. .


    Eating and drinking with the representatives of the top three, pushing cups and changing cups, is really not drunk.


    Official business?


    Uh, for 10 minutes, Aldridge said, they listened, and then asked for some details to finalize!


    All the top three in Northern Italy agree!


    After all, Italy¡¯s ball market is like a backwater. In this context, the giants are also open source and throttling. They can enter the European Super League at once, and the finances will suddenly become rich and oily from the stretched situation. Moreover, like this season in the league The sluggish AC Milan, Juventus who returned to Serie A, is desperate to be able to obtain stable qualifications and huge benefits in the European arena!


    In order to restore their internal competitiveness in Serie A, as well as international competitiveness.


    When the top three in the North gave their faces, Aldridge would not be able to finish his business, so he patted his **** and walked away, so he drank and drank, talking about the world, and in the midst of strategizing, Aldridge almost got mad and accepted little Agnelli¡¯s big health proposal ...


    Aldrich''s trip to Milan couldn''t keep up with the fire, and the outside world also learned that he met people from Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus.


    However, when he returned to London, the four clubs announced in a tacit understanding: We will go to West Asia to play business games together during the winter break!


    To the outside world, Millwall''s conspiracy is still in the stage of letting outsiders guess!


    When things are not absolutely sure, Aldridge will not be out of touch, so he used the friendly match as a guise.


    Serie A has a winter break. In the past years, these giants will also be invited to play some commercial games. The appearance fee is several million euros. Before Aldrich went to Milan, he finalized a trip to January in West Asia. Go there. To give performances to the local oil tycoons, Millwall''s appearance fee is very expensive, the average is 8 million euros, but the indigenous royals who are so poor that the remaining oil does not care about the money, can be invited to the three major Italians plus Millwall came here to play a friendly game, it was just for them to enjoy, spend some money to count a ball.


    This is probably the direct reason for the warm hospitality of the top three in the North and the closeness of a big health party.


    Don¡¯t talk about the far-off things in the European Super League. It¡¯s just that Aldridge brought them extra income during the winter break and increased their income by at least 50% this time according to their previous business appearance fees. It''s also the light of Millwall. How can I say that a group should go out for gold, should there be a BUFF with an increase in appearance fees?


    After the four clubs announced the winter break plan at the same time, the outside media did not go deep into the true purpose of Aldridge¡¯s trip to Milan City, but the problem focused on Millwall¡¯s absence of the winter break, how to take this time? ?


    It is also simple. Millwall does not have a European war. The local League Cup and the league itself are strong. The players are strong in the team, and they are handy in rotation. Even in the past, the Miller Wall can deal well with the exceptionally severe Christmas Express in the Premier League. This further catalyzed their suspense to end the league''s defending ahead of schedule.


    After returning to the club from Milan, it will be the New Year.


    Aldridge did not leave before going to Madrid and Barcelona again, on the one hand because of frequent activities too conspicuous, on the other hand, he was lack of confidence in lobbying Real Madrid and Barcelona.


    On Christmas Day, he was worried in his office. Carter had just returned to London from the United States. Carter was visiting senior executives of ESPN.


    In the second half of this year, Aldridge lobbied the club, and Carter went private to talk to major sponsors. To establish the European Super League, it is absolutely inseparable from the sponsors. To put it bluntly, there is no sponsor to invest money, and TV broadcasters buy Next broadcast copyright, this idea is just a mirror!


    As soon as Carter returned to the club, he came to Aldridge''s office excitedly, closing the door and gleefully announcing the good news.


    "Aldrich, I have basically negotiated with major sponsors and TV broadcasters! As long as we can achieve a unified position among European giants, money is not a problem at all! They are also very interested in the idea of ??the European Super League! This is To further raise the level of elite warfare in European football, a big fight, hahahahaha! Eh... what''s wrong with you?"


    Carter thought he had brought good news to Aldridge, but saw Aldridge frowning and smoking stuffy cigarettes, so he immediately put away a smile and sat across the desk.


    Aldridge cheered up and asked, "First talk about your situation."


    Carter said seriously: "Most sponsors have found that the market effect brought by the Champions League this season has declined, and the broadcast ratings have also been declining over the same period. In addition, the external dissatisfaction with UEFA continues, and fans call for Millwall Factors such as the return to the European War, especially the sponsors¡¯ policy towards UEFA, it seems that they are not satisfied with the Champions League becoming civilians, but if there is no better European football game as an investment, they can only Football association cooperation, now we come to the door and put forward our ideas, they will not express support or not support, but as long as we can unite the opinions of the giants and form the European giants alliance, they will naturally invest in us because we The idea is that it may make the European Super League more influential than the World Cup!"


    In fact, put on the giants themselves, such as Manchester United, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Barcelona and other teams.


    Millwall''s withdrawal from the European war has little effect on their economic interests!


    How much is the winning bonus, how much is it, and how much should I get from the distribution of the broadcast fee?


    UEFA has not lost much, the biggest loss is Millwall, as well as sponsors and TV broadcasters!


    It is conceivable that the ratings are the most valued by the broadcaster. Without Millwall, the ratings will of course decline. The most successful in the history of the Champions League, the most eye-catching in the contemporary era, the team that has gathered the most stars does not appear on the Champions League stage, ratings Of course the rate will fall, the foundation of the football economy is actually fans!


    Some of the fans¡¯ beliefs are awe-inspiring. Millwall is absent from the Champions League. Will they follow the steps to watch Liverpool, Real Madrid and Barcelona?


    No, at least most of Millwall¡¯s fans will not be like this. At best, it¡¯s a pinnacle battle, but for other rich game, I¡¯m sorry, we¡¯re absolutely not interested. At best, let¡¯s take a look at the highlights the next day. What happened to pass the time.


    The trend of the Champions League becoming civilians is also a source of dissatisfaction for sponsors.


    For example, this season''s Champions League group stage, Group H Arsenal, Sevilla, Bucharest Stars, Prague Slavia four teams composed of teams, the attention rate is amazing!


    And Liverpool, Marseille, Vegetas, Porto Group A also has a poor effect on the market efficiency.


    UEFA''s tough attitude is also aimed at sponsors in a sense.


    Football is the world¡¯s first sport, and Europe is the heart of football. Europe¡¯s top stage, the Champions League, is controlled by UEFA. No other football event can bring together strong teams from different European countries like the Champions League to play. If sponsored The merchant is dissatisfied, can he shake his face and exit?


    Of course not!


    If you withdraw, your industry competitors will fill up immediately!


    Because of the uniqueness of the Champions League, UEFA can do whatever they want without being threatened by sponsors.


    But now the situation is different. If the European Super League is born, sponsors and TV broadcasters will not hesitate to choose the European Super League!


    why?


    Interests!


    Sponsors and broadcasters don¡¯t care about the game!


    What cares is the market effect!


    And this market is based on fans.


    The market share of the fans of ten second-rate teams cannot be comparable to that of a giant team!


    Just like in the Champions League this season: Bejiktas, Rosenborg, Olympiacos, FC Shakhtar Donetsk, Atletico Lisbon, Dynamo Kiev, PSV Eindhoven, Fenerbahce, Moscow Central Army, Prague Slavic Asia, Bucharest Stars, the combined fan market of these teams, and global popularity, cannot be offset by the impact of the lack of Millwall!


    In terms of stars, the popularity of all the players in these teams may not even add up to Ronaldinho and Henry, who have been replaced by Millwall!


    If the European Premier League appears, the quality of the game will improve, and the peak battles will continue to be staged. On the new stage, the European giants will be fierce and fragmented. This will stimulate the global fan market, sponsors and TV. The rewards that broadcasters can receive are definitely not comparable to the Champions League.


    Furthermore, their sponsorship fees and buy-out rights for TV broadcasts are all transactions anyway. What is the difference between trading with UEFA and trading with European giants? Anyway, UEFA is also a non-governmental organization with no binding and regulatory mechanism, and it can''t be compared with an institution with strong credibility like the government.


    Carter finished his work on the side, it was Aldridge''s turn.


    He scratched his head and said, "I''m worried about how to get the support of Real Madrid and Barcelona. This La Liga duo is different from other giants."


    If the prosperity of the Premier League is based on the sacrifice of all lower-level leagues under the Premier League, then the prosperity of the La Liga doubles is completely rid of all other Spanish teams!


    As far as broadcast fees are concerned, Real Madrid and Barcelona sell the broadcast rights of the La Liga game separately. The Premier League is still bundled with 20 teams. According to the ratio, everyone will have one point, and the big players will have big heads. Compared with teams of the same status in other leagues, the Premier League''s small team is extremely happy!


    This is why as time goes on, the other teams in La Liga are clanking apart from Real Madrid and Barcelona. Many Spanish players take the initiative to go to the Premier League for gold, even if they are condescending to some small teams, because the wealth level has already been opened The big gap is partly due to the fact that Real Madrid, a nobleman, and Barcelona, ??which has a strong sense of independence in Catalonia, abandoned other small teams and did not give them any sweetness.

 Chapter 1201： Turning point of fate

    If Aldrich wants to lobby Barcelona and Real Madrid by joining the European Super League and consolidating local dominance, it is simply nonsense!


    First of all, the strongest team in La Liga is the two of them!


    It doesn¡¯t matter whether they win the championship or are ranked higher by other teams in the league, this is secondary!


    Because of the team''s influence, financial strength, and overall strength of the team''s lineup every season, Real Madrid and Barcelona are the two strongest teams!


    If they did not win the league title, or ranked third, squeeze in a Valencia in the middle.


    Then the problem is not that Valencia''s comprehensive strength has definitely exceeded them, but that they have problems!


    Therefore, the goal of the La Liga has always been to defeat the other party, or to make achievements in the European arena. It is impossible for any Barcelona or Real Madrid chairman, coach, to speak out when he takes office or campaign: we want to catch up with Valencia, Villarreal, Seville!


    It is definitely stronger than those teams, there is no suspense, there is a problem in the league, it is also their own problem, it does not matter much whether the strength of the team other than the two teams is growing, because as long as the team can play normally Some of the strength, even 80%, should all suppress the other 18 La Liga teams in terms of their overall strength!


    It is a pity that they are complex clubs, traditions, cultures, philosophies, club architecture models, management systems, etc., so that these two teams will never stop and will always run on a wavy track. Good times are good, bad It must be self-reliant at the time, and almost no decline like other giants, such as the lineup becomes cocky, the competitiveness does indeed decline for all to see.


    Maybe Aldridge went directly to Real Madrid or Barcelona to talk about the European Premier League, and they would be interested, but the attitude would make Aldridge unpredictable, because the other side does not have a strong and strong support point!


    Force them to stand on the side of Aldridge.


    After hearing the worries of Aldridge, Carter suddenly laughed and laughed, and tears came out.


    Aldridge''s eyes widened and he shouted: "Hey, let me tell you the truth, what are you laughing? Is my trouble ridiculous? I think I think normally."


    Carter wiped tears from the corners of his eyes and coughed with laughter. He finally stopped coughing. After breathing smoothly, he pointed to Aldridge and shook his head: "Ah, you really are, I don''t know what to say about you!"


    "You still talk about it!"


    Looking at Carter, Aldrich knew that Carter should have a solution, which made him wonder: the trouble that troubled me with three cigarettes, how could he have a solution when he heard it?


    Carter looked at Aldridge''s gaze, as if making fun of Aldridge''s meditation, he shrugged: "In my opinion, the most easily lobbied inside the G14 are Real Madrid and Barcelona!"


    "Huh? The easiest? The La Liga duo, the two giants, are you free to use?"


    Aldridge didn''t believe it.


    Carter spread his hand and said: "Please, these two are dead enemies. They don''t trust each other. Haven''t you thought about using both ends?"


    "Ok?"


    Aldrich seemed to think of something, the corners of his mouth were curving, and that smile was a bit bad! Oh no, it''s insidious!


    Carter looked at Aldridge''s expression and knew that he woke up and smiled, "I thought of it?"


    Aldridge smiled and exhaled, and had to stare at Carter with admiring eyes, reaching out and pointing at him constantly, flicking the table and saying, "Yes! Damn! I only have to tell Real Madrid that Barcelona has agreed to join the European Super In the league, I went to Barcelona and said that Real Madrid nodded and joined. Wouldn¡¯t they be on my side obediently?"


    Carter clapped: "The best thing is, even if Real Madrid wants to verify, but no matter what news is revealed in Barcelona, ??Real Madrid will not believe it, Barcelona is the same! Both of them will be afraid that the other party will lead them to the European Premier League. , In case the Champions League is completely yellow and blocked outside the European Premier League, this is definitely ahead of the opponents in La Liga, so as long as they spread the same lie to the two teams, Real Madrid and Barcelona will scramble. Join the European Premier League!"


    In the end, he came across the business field, and the intrigues were well-informed. Carter awakened the dreamer with a word. Aldridge was so fast in epiphany. In fact, he was not very experienced. Things like intrigues are disgusting, and they are far away.


    It was just that he suddenly thought of the sensational transfer event in his last life.


    That was the formation of the second phase of the Galaxy Battleship, Florentino was restored in Real Madrid.


    In the transfer of Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid was actually a cheat!


    On the one hand, he said to Kaka that Ronaldo agreed to transfer, and on the other side, he said to Ronaldo that Kaka agreed to join, so that the two superstars would be tempted by Real Madrid, who was already the Champions League at the time, to join hands to create a future in Bernabeu. Although the transfer may still happen if you don¡¯t cheat at both ends, Real Madrid does this by using the white wolf with empty gloves. It is the probability and persuasion of success in the transfer market!


    Superstars are not fools. With the fierce competition in UEFA at the time, it is almost impossible to have another Naples led by Maradona, so joining a team requires strong teammates!


    "Hahaha, you should drink a glass of wine here!"


    Aldridge was excited to open the bottle of wine and drink with Carter.


    Carter sipped a glass of wine and said to Aldridge: ¡°I¡¯m going to go to Spain. You¡¯ve just returned from Italy, so you don¡¯t have any extra seasons. You can use the excuse of a friendly game once, use it a second time, or find another Yes, the outside world is unlikely to believe anymore."


    Aldrich nodded and agreed after thinking for a while.


    He was also reluctant to run around, and Carter took the initiative to do his job, and it would be better to obey him.


    ...


    In fact, Audridge is not good at diplomatic and public relations work, but he adheres to his principle of being a man, he is open to others, and shows his sincerity as much as possible, so he did not go directly to the senior manager of Manchester United. Arsenal, Liverpool''s dialogue is as comprehensive as possible.


    But this society''s activity criterion is not the kindness of the heart and the highest efficiency.


    Compared to Carter, Aldridge is a naive layman.


    Carter went to Spain in a low-key manner. He took a very strong posture and directly took care of Real Madrid and Barcelona''s high-level officials through a reliable intermediary.


    The message to Real Madrid is: Barcelona agreed to join us in the establishment of the European Super League. Now Millwall also invites you to participate. If you refuse, it does not matter.


    The message to Barcelona was basically the same, except that the nodded club was replaced by Real Madrid.


    Then Carter stayed in the hotel where he was staying. Unexpectedly, Real Madrid heard the news and suddenly felt like a thunderbolt. Chairman Calderon ran to the hotel to meet Carter.


    The same is true of Barcelona¡¯s chairman Laporta, and there is no need to verify whether Real Madrid has agreed to join the European Super League.


    Anyway, Barcelona and Real Madrid want to come to mind: Really killing Real Madrid/Barcelona, ??definitely want to play Yin in the back! I sneaked into the European Super League and made me suffer a big loss!


    Aldrich¡¯s trip to Milan was easy and pleasant, but Carter¡¯s trip to Spain was very comfortable. After he got the La Liga duo, he went to Valencia and made a round. The problem in front of Valencia is simple: Real Madrid and Barcelona are both Joined, you figure it out.


    Among the G14 members, the three Spanish teams quickly expressed their positions.


    At the end of 2007, Millwall was ready to plot to subvert the Champions League.


    England, Spain, Germany, Italy, four of the five major leagues, all G14 members, including the influential Chelsea, were drawn into the same trench.


    During this period, the soothing work of UEFA and FIFA is also in progress over the same period.


    Beckenbauer went to Millwall for reconciliation without any results. Blatter was suspicious of him and continued to put Beckenbauer in the cabinet.


    At the same time, he personally came forward and worked with Platini to release goodwill to the G14, but it was conditional.


    They will ask the G14 to dissolve by recruiting players to join the compensation agreement in international competitions!


    UEFA is doing this kind of work through the national football associations, FIFA is acting as a leader, and Blatter also wants to benefit from it and gain a lot of political achievements.


    On the surface, the G14 is forced by the pressure of the national football associations, and it cannot refuse the proposals of FIFA and UEFA. However, as the plan of Millwall¡¯s independent portal is becoming more reliable and more and more allies are appearing, most of the G14 The members all started to promise, but behind them they planned to stab the knife!


    After the Premier League finished the Christmas Express campaign, Millwall almost announced the success of the defending in advance. They played a horrible 19 wins and 2 draws in the 21 rounds of the league. There was no distraction from the European Wars, and the lineup was prosperous. It was a hard defeat!


    In January, Millwall and Italy''s top three went to Western Asia to seek gold and earn extra money from the oil and local tyrants. Because they had to receive four European giants, these local tyrants displayed a very generous scene and also awarded a series of self-made awards. Teams, coaches, players, this commercial game under the leadership of Millwall, extraordinary style, became the focus of world football at that time.


    This made FIFA and UEFA irritated, so it put pressure on G14 and asked G14 to immediately make a decision and make a decision!


    At the end of January, G14 held a summit.


    On the bright side, this meeting will state whether to accept the conditions of FIFA and UEFA. Once accepted, G14 will be disbanded!


    UEFA media gathered in Brussels, the G14 summit will be held here.


    The fate of G14, established in 1998, came to a critical turning point in 2008 when it came to a decade of reincarnation.

 Chapter 1202： Start talking about business!

    Brussels Grand Place, Hilton Hotel.


    In the business meeting room, members of the G14 organization have a total of 19 club representatives.


    In addition to the founding members of the 14 clubs, there are four clubs that have joined after the review in 2002, and Liverpool, which returned to the top of Europe last summer.


    The 19 clubs are:


    From England: Millwall, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal.


    From Germany: Bayern Munich, Dortmund, Leverkusen.


    From Spain: Real Madrid, Barcelona, ??Valencia.


    From Italy: Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan.


    From France: Lyon, Marseille, Paris Saint-Germain.


    From the Netherlands: Ajax, Eindhoven.


    From Portugal: Porto.


    In addition to the representatives of the 19 clubs, UEFA Secretary General David Taylor attended the meeting. He will wait for the G14 to make a resolution and then sign an agreement with the G14, or not.


    The G14 was caught in internal and external troubles before and after the ¡°regime change¡± in UEFA.


    Naturally, Platini took office as UEFA President and began to suppress the G14.


    The internal worry is that the French club that first had the G14 expressed public support during the Platini campaign. At the same time, in the first half of 2007, due to the rotating chairman, Dyne from Arsenal stepped down at Arsenal and then lost the rotating chairman. Qualifications, leading to vacancies in nominal leaders within G14.


    Carter, the representative of Millwall himself, has been in control of the situation, but in the same period, Millwall encountered a terrifying "blood case" in the European War, and Millwall''s situation inside the G14 was extremely embarrassing!


    The subtlety of the situation is that Millwall can only be silent. In the absence of a specific plan and allowing G14 allies to see the possibility of realization, it is impossible for Millwall to order G14 to protest what is going on, because G14 is an interest. Groups, not idealist alliances, simple struggles are meaningless to other G14 members. They must be tangible benefits. Fighting for these is the reality.


    When the time for the annual replacement of the rotating chairman came, the first Ligue 1 boss, Lyon Chairman Olas became the rotating chairman, so a funny scene of "Monkey as King" appeared inside the G14.


    After the two summits in the second half of 2007, other giants remained silent, Olas thought he could serve as a leader, especially Millwall withdrew from the European War, just like Juventus, Dortmund and other missed European war teams, in disguise Lose the right to speak.


    At today''s summit, the atmosphere of the meeting was as deadly as ever. It seems that most of the club''s representatives are pitiful and do not want to talk more.


    Manchester United representatives Gil, Real Madrid Chairman Calderon, Barcelona President Laporta, AC Milan representatives Galliani, Millwall representatives Carter, Bayern Munich Rummenigge, etc., all the representatives of European giants remained silent.


    The rotating chairman Auras presided over the meeting, and proclaimed the victory of G14 in this stage!


    That''s right, he regarded FIFA''s conditional agreement with UEFA as a victory for G14.


    In the past, their players were injured in international games, and the club did not receive any compensation. In the unlikely event that the star is injured, this loss is difficult to estimate. Now, FIFA and UEFA are willing to give them a certain amount of financial protection. It became "victory".


    In addition, he is also expressing that there is nothing wrong with Platini...


    UEFA Secretary-General Taylor attended the meeting. This was the first time he stepped into the G14 group summit. The scene of the meeting made him feel inexplicable.


    Real Madrid, Barcelona, ??Manchester United, Millwall, AC Milan, Bayern, who should have a very strong voice, are the giants that constitute the most glorious picture of European football. Are they all silent?


    And Lyon, a dragon role in the European War, even said that the French team is as small as dust in the history of the Champions League!


    You know, in the history of the Champions League, the Ligue 1 team won the championship only once, in Marseille in 1993!


    However, that year''s Marseille was written into history, it was a shocking match-fixing case!


    It''s a shameful page for European football!


    It is conceivable that the Ligue 1 club should theoretically have no status and right to speak in G14!


    When it comes to the French social system, legal system, and elitism are not allowed in the field of football, this system is too restrictive. For example, Lyon does not allow him to build a stadium of 60,000 people or buy big names. All originated from the French legal regulations, financial system and other factors, which caused the French team itself to have some congenital deficiencies. It does not matter how to play at home, but in the European War, it is really scary, the team is as bland as water, colorless and tasteless .


    With these in mind, Taylor''s mood fell to the bottom.


    There have been rumors of a split within the G14.


    The French club supports Platini, who is also a French. What is behind the scenes is unknown. Perhaps it is that Platini will promote the reform of the local French football policy and will promote the future of France allowing elitism in the football field. None of this matters.


    The point is, Mo said that a Lyon, the algorithm of the national team all tied together, is unable to represent the real core will of the G14!


    Taylor''s concern is that if Real Madrid President Calderon raises an objection, how should the passionate Olas end?


    Does he have the courage to challenge the representatives of Spanish giants?


    How can he have the courage to unify the overall will of the G14?


    After Olas introduced the main discussion of this meeting, Taylor also made a certain agreement on behalf of UEFA and FIFA to explain, and then things went smoothly than Taylor thought.


    There is no fierce argument, no strong opposition from the opposition.


    Another 18 club representatives, the Ligue 1 team took the lead in voting, Paris Saint-Germain, Marseille, agree!


    Ajax, Eindhoven, Porto, the three giant representatives from the European second-tier leagues dare not speak out.


    At this time, 10 years ago, Ajax became famous in Europe. 10 years later, Ajax has become a top-ranked edge powerhouse in Europe.


    They belong to the role of a younger brother who eats and eats behind the big brother. The uppermost giants inside the G14 have not expressed their position. They dare not easily pick up the sidelines. Besides, they really want to follow the crowd, and they must not follow Lyon or Marseille. Club, it is simply a self-proclaimed identity!


    On the England side, Carter nodded first, and then Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal representatives agreed.


    Rummenigge nodded, Calderon nodded, La Porta nodded, Galliani nodded...


    Taylor''s eyes widened with an incredible expression, and he was shocked!


    So Easy?


    After these giants nodded, other teams would have no room to resist.


    Within G14, all 19 clubs voted unanimously to accept the agreement between FIFA and UEFA!


    Taylor had to interject: "This agreement may not be clearly stated. At the time of signing this agreement, G14 must announce its dissolution!"


    No one answered him, the giants just looked at Taylor with a lukewarm look, as if to say: We are not blind and deaf, what is in the agreement, we can see, what you just said, we Audible too!


    Taylor withdrew his gaze embarrassedly, and he became very comfortable and happy for a while.


    G14 compromised!


    UEFA and FIFA''s serious problems will be removed!


    At the wall of the conference room, there is a row of lawyers. That is the team hired by G14. To sign the agreement, it is definitely not that FIFA and UEFA took an agreement and they signed it. If there is a trap in the agreement?


    So after the G14 internal vote was passed, the lawyer team began to be busy and began to review the terms of the agreement.


    The atmosphere in the conference room is still the same as the backwaters. No one whispered and talked, and each sat as if nothing had happened, waiting for the agreement to leave.


    Lyon¡¯s Chairman Olas was pleased at this time. He saw everyone¡¯s silence, and he was scolded by Carter in the face last year. At this time, he smiled and said: ¡°Now there is nothing bad about UEFA¡¯s policy. Look, Did Liverpool and Arsenal benefit?"


    Everyone can understand the subtext in his words.


    Arsenal were able to participate in the Champions League this season because Millwall withdrew from the European War.


    If it weren''t for Millwall''s Champions League defeat last season that Liverpool won the Champions League, it''s really hard to say.


    Ha ha.


    In response to Auras, only many giant representatives chuckled.


    Some laughter is cold, while others are obviously full of ridicule.


    Auras wasn¡¯t interested in asking for it. After the team of lawyers confirmed that the agreement was okay, representatives of the clubs and the UEFA Secretary-General signed the agreement.


    After the agreement was actually signed, Taylor breathed a sigh of relief. He shook hands with the representatives of the clubs, and then could not wait to leave to hold a press conference outside to announce this "historic event."


    This is UEFA''s victory!


    The chaos within UEFA will also come into force after this agreement, G14 will disappear after the dissolution!


    Auras and Marseille, the Paris Saint-Germain club representatives also got up and left. They wanted to show their faces. Probably, go to Pratini for credit.


    Just after they left, the representatives of Ajax, Eindhoven and Porto also got up and left. They just followed the crowd, and they didn¡¯t have any personal claims, or even if there were, but the voice was too weak, inside the G14 , Who will listen to them?


    Even they are panic and afraid of being abandoned by the G14. After all, their competitiveness is really not the core strength of European football.


    Just as they got up, a voice sounded.


    Carter said softly: "Three, please stay with us, our meeting has not started yet."


    The representatives of the three clubs stopped and first showed an inexplicable expression, immediately looked at the atmosphere of the scene, and hurried back to their position.


    Oh shit!


    It''s so weird!


    The representatives of the G14 members of the four major leagues of England, Italy, West, Germany and Germany have not moved!


    What does Carter mean?


    Isn''t the meeting over?


    What is it that has not started yet?


    One minute later, the door of the meeting room was suddenly pushed away from the outside, and a group of people walked into the meeting room with their heads high.


    The leader in the middle is Audridge in a suit and leather with a confident smile!


    Behind him are Beckenbauer on the left and Chelsea boss Abu on the right!


    In the future, there are more than a dozen people, all of whom are representatives of well-funded sponsors in the European sports field, as well as representatives of TV broadcast giants!


    The representatives of Ajax, Eindhoven, Porto, and the three clubs were dumbfounded, and their hearts were suddenly thunderous. They saw that the lifeless atmosphere of the scene changed subtly as the expressions of everyone in the participants changed, because of the expressions of those giants. In, there is obvious excitement!


    Anyone who is stupid knows what will happen next, and suddenly the representatives of these three clubs have a coldness in their hearts.


    Fuck!


    fortunately!


    Fortunately, I did not leave with the three representatives from France!


    Aldridge walked to the top of the long table at the conference table and unzipped the boss chair, unbuttoned the suit jacket, naturally sat down, moved forward, raised his waist, raised his smile, and his right hand was on the table. Knocking on the door gently tapped the table twice.


    Dangdang!


    "Gentlemen, let''s start talking about business now."

 Chapter 1203： European Elite League

    In the conference room, in addition to Ajax, Eindhoven, and the representatives of the three clubs of Porto pretended to be calm, they were a little panic and even frightened. Other participants showed their excitement, as if they were about to taste an unprecedented gluttonous feast!


    The club representatives who knew what was going to happen in their hearts would not think that participating in this meeting was to help Millwall.


    How bad is Millwall?


    In fact, nothing bad!


    As long as they lower their faces and bow their heads to UEFA, will UEFA be stupid enough to reject Millwall?


    Everything is for the benefit, long-term stability, and the economic security of building a strong and unstoppable football empire in their respective countries!


    Everyone was seated, and Aldridge began to speak loudly.


    "For a long time, the club represented by you is the core strength of European football. Without humility, we are European football in the eyes of the world! Without us, European football has no past, no present, and no future! We are committed to creating the most The top-level tournaments have also made unremitting efforts to build the team into the most eye-catching and strongest team on the planet in their respective clubs! Given the history of European football in the past ten years and the future order under the current system People are worried about various factors. Today, we are sitting here. Let¡¯s let European football come back to his master. That¡¯s right, our own hands!"


    "Today, we are going to set up the European Elite Club Alliance here, and then we will form a new European tournament ourselves! First, let me introduce the benefits and benefit distribution principles brought about by this tournament. If you are not interested in participating, you can leave at any time!"


    Aldrich took a folder from the staff behind him, and then the staff held a thick stack of folders and distributed a copy to each participant.


    Aldrich took out one of the papers and said loudly: "The overall benefit distribution is higher than before! The benefit allocated to the club as a whole in the 2006-2007 season Champions League is 4.69 times higher! And we are a minority, the Champions League has 32 There are fewer than 20 teams in our team, so we actually get even higher!"


    The representatives of the club were shocked!


    Is this a concept?


    In the past, the giants benefited only a few tens of millions from the Champions League this season, which does not count the operating income of the club itself on match day.


    Now, if it is calculated by 5 times, the income of the top giants from the European War in one season may break the 200 million euro mark!


    This is almost worth the total income of the ten relegation teams in the top league!


    And this is just the income of the European war.


    Galliani licked his lips unconsciously, quite dry.


    He has the same idea as many of the club representatives present here: not to mention that the income can reach 5 times, even if it is 3 times, this is enough to make the club''s management look new!


    Clubs such as Liverpool, Arsenal, Valencia, Dortmund, etc., who need huge economic income to reverse the club''s finances, are not tempted at this moment, but are determined to join anyway!


    Aldrich pulled out another piece of paper to show everyone, saying: "We are European giants, we always introduce stars at a high price, but the stars are injured in international competitions, we suffer losses, no one will give us protection, yes, FIFA and UEFA have now signed an agreement with us, but that agreement is ridiculous! 200 million euros? F! We buy a star less than 30 million, the annual salary is at least 6 million, and in order to take care of all Europe, that 2 100 million Euros is a lot of listening, but the protection is like a lot of money. Now, we are independent! We protect our own interests! Our European Elite League, all members, will receive at least a total of 400 million euros in player injury protection compensation every season. !As long as the player is injured in our own match, the club will be compensated! Of course, this compensation will be considered according to the value of the star, but the minimum is 500,000 euros, even if this player is an unknown player."


    Hearing this clause, the presence of giants such as Barcelona and Real Madrid agreed, because they have many stars!


    Of course, this also has a tit-for-tat meaning with the agreement provided by UEFA and FIFA to G14!


    Aldridge finally pulled out another piece of paper and said, "25% of the overall revenue, we will take it out to UEFA and make UEFA one of the organizers of the tournament."


    This article, Audridge did not make it clear.


    But everyone in the room was silent.


    No matter how this league works, it is impossible to completely set aside UEFA!


    It''s like the Premier League is independent, but the Premier League still has to accept the supervision of the Premier Football Director!


    Only in terms of interest, the FA has no management authority over the Premier League!


    They cannot directly intervene in the Bundesliga Serie A''s profit distribution principles like the German Football Association or the Italian Football Association.


    Now the situation is to be reversed!


    UEFA used to not only occupy the bulk of revenue, but also occupy absolute dominance.


    Now, it is the income of the European Elite League that is the big player. UEFA is just a participating manager, doing some hard work, and the real planning and final rights of the game will be controlled by the league itself.


    Beckenbauer appeared at the conference, and everyone knows that the political landscape of European football is about to usher in an earthquake!


    As smart as the representatives of the club present here, it is already foreseeable that when this alliance is established and finally announced, UEFA will be on the verge of collapse. At that time, Beckenbauer will bring the conditions for the alliance to open Go to UEFA and usurp the throne!


    That''s right, this is rebellion!


    Relative to UEFA''s income in the past, it will definitely decline in the future, but it will not decline to the point of survival.


    This time the shuffle, or the revolution of European giants, actually turned European football from a "hodgepodge" back to the original, and turned it into a real champion giants war!


    The purest football!


    Do not mix any political factors.


    Beckenbauer is not worried about the current situation. In fact, a large part of UEFA¡¯s fiscal revenue is used to "poverty alleviation" funds. The benefit distribution scheme provided by the European Elite League is now more than before. many.


    In order to obtain the support of Europe''s numerous "football weak countries", Platini not only gave them the Champions League quota, but also tried to get these small country championship teams to go to the Champions League to play the "Group Tour March Tour", or they would send them directly to these countries. Money similar to the "Football Development Fund".


    However, the Football Association, the crows are generally black, who knows whether the money is used for football development.


    Beckenbauer is a defender of traditional football values. He does not like the egalitarianism that Platini respects. When he returns to UEFA, he will disturb the anti-government. At best, he will not be able to overpower the giants as before. , But at least there will not be too many problems with the operation, and he intends to focus on the UEFA project in the European Cup, which is inseparable from the support of European giants.


    After a brief introduction to the distribution of the benefits of the new European events, it is actually not complicated.


    The league takes 75% and UEFA takes 25%. Of course, UEFA is also responsible for the organization and coordination of competitions, and the operating costs are not low.


    Of the 75%, most are given to the club every season, and a small part is used as a guarantee fund.


    As the most important part of the distribution of benefits has been introduced, then there is a fierce discussion on the competition system and the distribution principles corresponding to the giants themselves.


    Ajax, Eindhoven, and the representatives of the three clubs in Porto did not participate in the discussion. In this session, the representatives of the giants are competing for the land, and they do not have much say. On the contrary, they can¡¯t wait to feed the news to the club. The boss, the board, let them decide!


    This is completely different from the plan before coming!


    Originally came to make soy sauce and went home, but now, a big brother took the lead and promised to be able to eat together with spicy food and spicy. Are we rebellious now, or not?


    In the planning of the format, Aldridge''s attitude is very firm!


    "It is impossible to become a league completely! Impossible! If we become a league completely, our survival is fundamental, the local league, this base camp may be completely destroyed in ten years and twenty years! We are first in England, Germany, Italy, etc. Wait for local clubs, then European giants!"


    In the original vision of the European Premier League, Edwards'' dream was this: simply, don''t play the Premier League! With 20 giants in Europe, let''s play a 38-round European Premier League!


    This plan has a big problem!


    Clubs rooted in the local countries of various countries are unable to leave local fans, supported by the huge influence of the local market, even the giants are no exception!


    Secondly, even if the most dazzling competitions are formed among European giants, it is necessary to avoid excessively frequent battles.


    Although there is a saying: If Manchester United and Real Madrid will play two games each season, then people will lose interest in their games in a few years.


    This kind of speech has a certain theoretical support: aesthetic fatigue.


    But it is incorrect to put it in the football field.


    Milan derby is N years old, England derby is also N years old, Spanish derby is more and more popular than before!


    Aesthetic fatigue?


    There is no fatigue in football!


    Because even two identical teams, every time they meet, the story that happens in the game is always unpredictable!


    The more pinnacle-level teams, the higher the possibility of unpredictability, and the more the direction of the game, the ending, beyond everyone''s imagination, attract people''s imagination!


    And there is only one situation that will make the outside fans uninterested!


    Team strength!


    This is the essence.


    Just like the decline of Serie A, Milan Derby''s attention has dropped, not because everyone is tired of the encounter between these two teams, nor is it because everyone can guess the result and are too lazy to watch the process, just because one thing: these two teams are not strong !


    Therefore, as long as the European Elite League guarantees that the team itself has strong competitiveness, even if the giants meet each season, the attention they can receive will not decline!


    But it is not possible to play league games, but to avoid excessive encounters, this is a more realistic consideration.

 Chapter 1204： Tian Zhen!

    To attract the interest of TV broadcasting giants and sponsoring giants in major sports fields, the European Elite League must not be the past Champions League.


    The fish and dragon are mixed, and the strengths are too different. The first half of the event, which is the group stage, has almost no suspense. What about the knockout? Probably the real suspense is only in the top eight, and the suspense in the top 16 also disappears.


    This revolution cannot introduce a game system that is completely different from the past, because there are so many places that need to be coordinated.


    In terms of the competition system, it is roughly the same as the Champions League, but the teams have been streamlined and graded.


    Europe has the Champions League and the UEFA Cup, and the European Elite League will also adopt a two-level gradient.


    In the continuous negotiation and improvement, the A-level of the two-tier echelon will be composed of 12 teams, divided into three groups, the group stage is the same as the previous 6 games, 4 teams 2 qualifying places, a total of 6 Qualifying places.


    At level B, there will be 12 teams divided into two groups, and 6 teams will have one qualifying spot.


    Then in the knockout, there are 8 teams in Group A and Group B to form the quarterfinals.


    This has further strengthened the protection of the interests of giants!


    It''s like Real Madrid is definitely not happy to see that Valencia is not much different from their income.


    Bayern Munich is also reluctant to see Dortmund and Leverkusen growing stronger to challenge their status in Germany.


    A-level competition must be a giant war!


    Of the 12 teams, at least 9 are from the four major leagues. The remaining places, the Netherlands and Portugal, will each have one place.


    The overall benefit distribution of the B-level competition can only get 30% relative to the A-level competition.


    But here is a hotbed of dark horses, as long as they make it to the finals, and get 2 places in the top 8 qualifications, they can also earn a lot of economic income in the final victory of the championship.


    In the allocation of quotas in various countries, they will not refer to more factors like UEFA, they will only consider the performance of national team representatives in this event!


    And in order to increase the excitement of the event, there will be a greater gap than the draw in winning bonuses and league points brought by winning.


    There are 5 teams as the upper limit in the quota for each country.


    The maximum number of places in the A-level tournament is 3 teams, and the tickets are 2.5, which means that the Premier League has the strongest European war in recent years. They will have two and a half places in the first tournament. , Is to play in the qualifying game, won, A-level competition has three Premier League teams, lost, to play B-level competition, the group stage income is very different.


    In the determination of the quota allocation, due to the betrayal of the Ligue 1 team in the G14, they lost the A-level quota directly in the first tournament.


    The three major leagues in England, Italy and West each have 2.5 places, the Bundesliga has 2 places, the Netherlands has 1.5 places and Portugal has one place.


    The third team in the British and Italian West, and the second in the Netherlands, the four teams decided to leave two places in the A class, and the rest went to the B class.


    The qualifications for the opening of the B-level tournament will be more relaxed. After today, the European Elite League will recruit members. For example, if Atletico Madrid in Spain want to participate in them, you can, apply, meet the conditions established by the league, pass, then, you To start from the B-level qualifying game, but first, you have to get this place in the home league.


    There are only five caps in the national leagues. The Premier League has almost all participated. If Manchester City rises in the future, then new competition will begin, and the Ligue 1 team will start from scratch, and may squeeze the Netherlands and Portugal in the future. The quota for the level competition, in short, to ensure the fierce and exciting A-level competition, although the competition is not as much as in the past, don¡¯t look at the group stage, there are only 3 groups, but the competitiveness has increased several times than before, in fact, the competition may be extremely cruel !


    Who can accurately predict, Real Madrid, Bayern, Manchester United, AC Milan, in the same group, which two teams will advance to the quarterfinals?


    It seems that everyone may think that 4 teams and 2 qualifying should be okay?


    But when fighting, I''m afraid this kind of thinking will change!


    B-level games are inevitable to attract attention, and have less influence than A-level games, but the difficulty is also extremely huge. Each team has only one qualifying place, even if it is a team that has no hope of promotion, it will also go because of the high winning bonus. Struggling to attack the leader, 6 teams, 1 qualifying, and only in this way, qualified to play against the strongest giants in the knockout, to perform the dark horse miracle.


    The discussion on the format of the game ended temporarily, but there was noisy inside the Premier League!


    In the Bundesliga, Bayern and Leverkusen won two places, no problem, Dortmund itself was weak in this period. They went directly to the B-level game without complaint. Like they don¡¯t have a European competition now, but they play. After the B-level game, it is equivalent to being able to obtain the European war income of the Champions League team today! Is there any complaint?


    There is not much problem in La Liga, Real Madrid Barcelona received two places, half of which belongs to Valencia.


    Serie A itself should be controversial, but Inter Milan is now strong, and it is no problem to get the A-class quota steadily. The remaining one and a half, "Sacred League" AC Milan and Juventus themselves negotiated in private, and the differences are not too much. Big.


    Only in the Premier League!


    Millwall, Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal!


    5 teams!


    How to divide?


    For everyone to be noisy, just like the words spoken at the Premier League round table, Aldridge slapped the table and said in a deep voice: "Millwall does not need a class A place. The first competition was Half of the qualifiers for the season B play, Manchester United, Chelsea, two places in the A class, Liverpool and Arsenal, who are in front of the league next season, who gets the remaining half of the A class, ranking Play the B-Class at the back!"


    If this event will be held, it is definitely not next season, because the UEFA Champions League and TEAM Group have a game agreement to maintain until the end of next season, so the fastest European Super League will also appear in the 09-10 season.


    As soon as Aldridge spoke, everyone would no longer discuss this issue after hearing it.


    After all, with Millwall''s strength and popularity, playing the A-class name is justified, but Aldridge let the team go to the B-level qualifier. Even if the qualifier is passed, it can only be played from the B-level.


    After the general issues of the event have been discussed, the participants signed agreements with the sponsors and TV broadcast giants, and formed a new European Elite League!


    Formally determined by contract: independence!


    On the first floor of the Hilton Hotel, UEFA is holding a press conference.


    Secretary-General Taylor proudly introduces the progress of the negotiations with G14 to media reporters from Europe and around the world!


    In the end, he proudly announced the signed agreement. At the same time, Lyon Chairman Oras, as the G14 rotating chairman, also announced the dissolution of G14 after patting the UEFA horse fart!


    At the press conference, reporters looked at each other.


    G14 disbanded?


    Everyone felt incredible and did not know whether this was the progress of European football as Taylor said.


    At the UEFA headquarters, Nyon, Switzerland.


    UEFA was delighted after receiving the message from Taylor!


    Platini walked in the corridor inside the office building, and the staff went to the office door to applaud and cheer the reformist chairman!


    Won!


    In the ten-year war between G14 and UEFA, UEFA won!


    Although Platini''s expression was indifferent, he was intoxicated.


    He is ready to return to his office to see the follow-up reports of this sensational event from outside media.


    What Johansson failed to do, he, Platini, did it!


    ...


    Brussels, Hilton Hotel.


    When the crowd began to disperse after the press conference, Lyon''s Chairman Oras was still recalling his previous public speech, but representatives of Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain were suspicious.


    "Strange, it''s been a long time, why other G14 representatives have not come down? What are they doing?"


    At this moment, those reporters who did not leave, or were about to leave, received calls from their boss or company headquarters!


    The content of the phone made them wonder: right at the Hilton Hotel, there is a press conference?


    Why temporary notice?


    Why did you go?


    Who the **** plays big names?


    When they learned who was in the media, all the reporters were excited!


    Aldrich Hall!


    Just as the representatives of the three clubs in France suspected, a group of people approached from the lobby, and they attracted a lot of reporters'' attention during the walk!


    Calderon, La Porta, Rummenige, Kenyon, Gill, Galliani... The center at the top looks like the leader, who is it?


    Of course it is him!


    Aldrich Hall!


    Aldridge greeted the reporters with signboard smiles and motioned them not to block the road.


    Lyon''s chairman Oras was shocked, the same was true of the representatives of Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille. They stood at the door. When Aldridge came over, they passed by with them. Their eyes were never squinted, and they were regarded as nothing.


    Other delegates, such as Galliani, gave a chuckle at the previous meeting as they passed by.


    Some are cold and some are full of ridicule.


    Entering the press conference, Aldridge reached out to the other delegates in a very polite manner, and all of them tacitly left the central position to Aldridge.


    The reporters in the audience immediately grabbed their positions!


    Chairman Lyon collapsed, he guessed it!


    There should be no difficulty, after all, G14 has proposed that idea more than once!


    Before Aldridge''s official speech, Oras rushed in, as if crying with a cry: "You can''t do this! You can''t abandon us like this!"


    Carter did not come on stage. He stood below, and after a clear cough, he said to the security guard: "Please help out the mess."


    Lyon, Paris Saint-Germain, representatives of the three clubs in Marseille were directly "boomed" by the security guards.


    A reporter recognized that there were representatives of sponsors and TV broadcast giants sitting on the stage and immediately realized what was about to happen!


    UEFA, world football, is about to change!


    A revolutionary storm is about to sweep through the green world, which is terrifying!

 Chapter 1205： Eve of the new pattern

    Coming to Brussels, Aldridge still used his long-sleeved skills in dealing with the media. He sold it to the BBC.


    Although it is impossible to say with absolute certainty in the formation of the European Elite League, when England, Germany, Italy, and Spain have unified their positions, at least this certainty is about 90%, so when he came to Brussels, he invited the BBC Do a live broadcast.


    Other reporters, if there is a TV agency, naturally have no such preparation, and the BBC has received exclusive live news!


    Aldridge settled on the throne, cleared his throat, and said loudly to the reporters here: "Gentlemen, here, I am proud to announce the establishment of the European Football Elite League on this day! The founding members of this league are:... ¡­"


    In addition to 16 out of 19 members of the original G14, kicked out 3 members of France, and the rest plus Chelsea, a total of 17 top European clubs became the founders of this league!


    The reporter''s head was buzzing!


    Not long ago, Lyon¡¯s Chairman Olas announced the dissolution of G14 as the G14 rotating chairman!


    Just breathing, the new giant alliance was established!


    Reporters also know that the price of the dissolution of G14 is the guarantee agreement provided by UEFA and FIFA, but...


    That agreement was signed!


    UEFA Secretary-General Taylor just confirmed this fact just now, which is by no means an oolong!


    The only explanation is...


    The reporters stared at Aldridge talking on the stage and talking about the purpose of the alliance''s founding, and their eyes have changed.


    Handsome!


    Not kind!


    Play Yin again!


    Half a year ago, UEFA gave the authentic Champions League trophy to Millwall, you played UEFA once, and still did not participate in the European War!


    Now, he has played a word game with UEFA again.


    Yes, G14 is disbanded!


    But you immediately set up another organization, changing soup without changing medicine!


    It seems that UEFA played a word game with you at this time last year. One year later, you also played a word game with UEFA.


    And, you guys took a big advantage!


    The contract signed by FIFA and UEFA with the European club is signed and effective!


    Take a security fund of 200 million euros!


    That''s right, Aldridge played UEFA again, but the last time he won the Champions League authentic trophy, he didn''t care about it, it was originally Millwall!


    Take away what belongs to me and give it to me, do I have to thank you?


    But the knife he stabbed today is indeed untrue in terms of means!


    But this notorious Aldrich came to the back, and other giants can only say that they can open their eyes in front of the interests, and get more money, no one can get up.


    At this moment, the representatives of these giants were very happy.


    Haha, if the big-name players are injured in the national team, FIFA and UEFA will compensate them. If they are injured in the European War, the league will also compensate. This risk has been reduced a lot.


    Aldridge subsequently announced that in the 09-10 season, they will host the first European Super League, referred to as the Europa League!


    Full of surprise!


    The dream that belonged to the giants was once out of reach, but now, will it be realized? !


    After Aldrich''s announcement, the sponsors and TV broadcasters present also expressed their expectation and support for this event!


    In the question-and-answer session, Aldridge was asked whether the establishment of the UEFA Super League was related to retaliation for UEFA.


    Aldrich shook his head and said: "We have been working hard to create the best football for the fans. When the outside world is tired of Millwall''s strength in the Champions League, I think the problem is not that Millwall is too strong, but the Champions League. The level has become lower and the quality of the so-called Champions League is lost! Of course, you can say that the Turkish champion is the champion, and the Ukrainian league champion is also the champion. However, the competitiveness of these champions, in the Premier League, in Serie A, in La Liga, can Are you in the top four in the league? What do we want is the top-level contest! Now that''s okay, if we play Europa League, will Millwall have the courage to send a full bench to play in the group stage?"


    In answer to the decisive factors that emerged in this tournament, Aldridge directly criticized the egalitarian policy now implemented by UEFA.


    "The UEFA president said that Andorra fans have the right to see Ronaldinho at home. I don''t deny what he said makes sense. It seems that this is the society we are in, and everyone should have the power to claim it! However, the Champions League has already had a huge impact on football matches around the world, and the target group is fans from all over the world! We should meet the expectations of most fans around the world. Do North American fans want to wait to see Millwall and Andorra in front of TV? Team game? Do Asian fans want to watch such a game that even the Premier League''s strong and weak dialogue is not? What about African fans? Indeed, we meet Andorra fans, but let more fans around the world feel disappointed! So we have to break free of such constraints, stop in the wrong direction, and get back on track to satisfy the wishes of most fans around the world! Someone will definitely say that I am selfish, that I have hurt Andorra, or something like Andorra Fans in this country, sorry, I just told the truth, I also have the consciousness that I will not be liked by everyone, and some people will hate me, hate our league, but we will give most fans the games they want, The splendid European football will push the level of European football to a higher level!"


    There are still many mainstream media reporters nodding to give their approval.


    In fact, Platini¡¯s egalitarian policy is nothing more than pulling votes!


    Don''t say anything that makes most people enjoy football.


    That''s farting!


    Andorra, teams from these leagues in Malta have enjoyed, how many fans around the world feel tortured?


    Originally interested in depends on the new season''s Champions League.


    As a result, when I look at the draw results, the qualifying teams of each group have almost no suspense. In the 6 group matches, it may be just one or two strong dialogues to look at. Other games, regardless of him, the basic results are well understood, nothing more than just What is the specific score? Even though there will definitely be upsets, fans can''t endure the boring 10 games. Looking forward to the possible one or two upsets?


    It¡¯s different now. The Europa League B-Class may be much less suspense than the previous Champions League, but it cannot be ruled out that the tension and stimulation of the group chaos and the suspense can occur, while the A-Class is an absolute tragedy. !


    It is conceivable that four giants and one group, two promotion and two eliminations, 6 games, maybe from the first game to the last game is a battle of life and death!


    The game is less, but the expected value of the game will be greatly improved, so that the waiting fans will never think it is a waste of time and enthusiasm!


    The specific plan of the Europa League has not been announced today, but some of the architectural ideas Aldridge talked about, such as their intention to invite gold referee Corina to join and become the leader of the refereeing committee.


    ...


    Switzerland, Nyon, UEFA headquarters.


    There was silence in the administrative building.


    Less than ten minutes ago, everyone, everyone was cheering the collapse of G14!


    Celebrating UEFA''s victory in the ten-year struggle!


    Now, everyone, everyone is staring at the live broadcast of BBC Sports on the TV screen.


    Listen to the speeches of Aldridge and other rich representatives.


    They recognized the sponsor''s representative, the TV broadcast giant''s representative.


    Those who are still UEFA''s partners have publicly declared that they will no longer renew their contract with UEFA after the current contract ends, and TEAM Group also said it will not sponsor the UEFA Champions League.


    Go back!


    betray!


    abandon!


    Without Millwall, the Champions League is only subject to some controversy, and the degree of attention has declined, but if there are no 17 clubs, more than ten of the rich clubs can be called the appearance of the Champions League.


    The Champions League?


    What is left?


    Platini looked dull in his office, his eyes red!


    He originally wanted to see how the outside world praised UEFA for achieving the unification of European football and became a ruler without external threats!


    Now, UEFA?


    It is almost possible to declare control of the club and survive in name only!


    The establishment of the Premier League is to get rid of the FA and sacrifice other low-level leagues in England!


    The establishment of the Europa League now has the same effect as the Premier League.


    European giants get rid of UEFA and become independent portals!


    What is sacrificed will also be the interests of the teams under European football giants!


    This happens to be completely opposite to the egalitarian policy promoted by UEFA, and extremely opposite!


    European giants pursue elitism!


    After the official start of the Europa League, these European giants will become an unshakable presence in their home country!


    Midstream and downstream teams want to change the traditional pattern, relying on accumulated experience. This accumulation process may be three years, maybe five years. If you are lucky, maybe two years of team construction and transformation will have a skyrocketing effect. However, after the establishment of the Europa League, the economic benefits obtained by the giants from the Europa League will further monopolize the global football talent resources. Under the giants, even the attractiveness of the first-line teams will rapidly decrease, and excellent stars will sharpen their heads and devote themselves to Giants, why? Because there is no Champions League! Without that first-tier club, you may be lucky enough to go to the Champions League. If you want to appear on the top stage, you can only join the giants!


    Moreover, the gap between rich and poor in economic income will also determine that the treatment of the rich will be beyond the reach of first-line clubs.


    This gap may only be solved in the future by the gold lords of the Abu Dhabi consortium, which are rich in rival countries. Even the wealth of this level of Abu may not be able to burn this money. After all, the benefits obtained by the giants from the Europa League are too huge Now!


    Platini dashed out of the office gazed madly and snarled wildly: "Call me the European Football Associations! Suppress them!"

 Chapter 1206： The storm ended

    When Aldrich announced the establishment of the European Elite League in Brussels and the European Premier League was officially launched in the summer of 2009, in the Millwall Club in London, the players of the whole team did not train on this day and gathered in the conference room prepared before the game. Watching live TV, they cheered collectively and roared wildly!


    One and a half years!


    After a year and a half, Millwall will return to Europe!


    Most of the players in the team are flexing their muscles, and are poised to return to the new European arena with a strong stance!


    However, there are also players who are smiling and gratified, but it is difficult to hide the lonely players, such as Nedved, Larsen, Schneider, and they may not wait for that day...


    Aldridge returned to London, followed by three small tails.


    Marseille, Paris Saint-Germain, and Lyon III club representatives, after a terrifying panic, quickly calmed down, and could not talk about anything to indemnify Millwall. Nothing can be done. Everyone pursues interests.


    Now the general trend is that they are blocked from the league, but Aldridge also announced at the press conference that they welcome European ambitions and strong teams to join the league, but the specific conditions for joining have not yet been announced.


    But looking at the Europa League system, two teams need 24 teams.


    Now they only have 17 clubs, and there are only 7 teams left!


    Moreover, there is no French team, which is definitely unfavorable for the commercial income of the French market, and the sponsors must not be satisfied.


    Therefore, the representatives of the three clubs believe that Aldridge, who takes the role of leader, will nod and agree to return to the "big family".


    Aldrich didn¡¯t refuse a thousand miles, or slapped his face coldly. It was too boring. Whatever he should do, there was no unsolvable hatred. All he could say was that the three French teams stood at the wrong team, and now they want to "revert the evil to the right." .


    However, they must pay a price!


    That is, from scratch, the French team has only 1.5 B-class places. That is to say, the Ligue 1 class tyrant Lyon can only play B-class. Other French league members, ranked second, must play B-class. The playoffs are the same as Millwall.


    The playoffs won''t win, oh, sorry, it''s gone.


    Returning to England nonstop, Aldridge led the team to play a league immediately. At the Lion King Stadium, the players may have been stimulated and excited on the court. Messi, Ronaldo, Kaka, Villa , Plus Alonso, 5 people teamed up to pour 7 goals for Aston Villa!


    Fans have to play people waves from time to time in the stands, and before the game, after the first half of the game, before the start of the second half of the game, and at the end of the whole game, the fans collectively paid their respects to Aldridge in the stands action!


    Aldridge has been too popular recently!


    If it doesn¡¯t, it¡¯s amazing!


    When the whole world was unaware, a sudden attack came and detonated all world football!


    Look, this is our young handsome!


    Fleet Street commented on the event that the European giants rebelled collectively under the leadership of Millwall and had achieved success, and they appreciated the means of this event!


    Although this is not uncommon in real political dumping.


    As the saying goes: dogs that bite are not barking!


    No wind was revealed beforehand. When the result was announced, the opponent was unable to return to the sky when they learned!


    Isn¡¯t this the most common thing in politics?


    Where is the conspiracy and tricks you come and go, real politicians have to defeat their opponents, it has always been a thunder blow!


    protracted war? If you punch me, you will only die on both sides! Because in actual competition, it will never be as simple as two forces.


    If you don¡¯t move, it¡¯s nine days!


    There is no room for opponents to fight back.


    Platini frantically put pressure on the national football associations in UEFA.


    Let the national football associations suppress these rebellious giants.


    The results of it?


    Most of those small football countries, such as Ukraine, Russia, Czech Republic and other football associations protest!


    They are really protesting, and now the Champions League gives their team more opportunities to participate.


    But what about the Europa League?


    The limited number of places, the requirements for the team''s strength, is that they have almost no giant games they may participate in!


    The Football Associations of England, Germany, Italy, and Spain did not support Platini before taking office and were not interested in his campaign program.


    When it comes to the club''s real situation, the FA has no way to take the Premier League giants.


    Moreover, they do not care about these!


    As long as these giants are not running to realize the European Super League that Edwards advocated, they will not play the local leagues at all, but they will play 38 rounds with the giants everywhere. What is unacceptable for the FA?


    It seems that there is not much difference between the Europa League and the current Champions League.


    Moreover, there is a fact that the football associations of these football powers are unspoken.


    The stronger the national giants, the more benefits the local league!


    Attractive!


    There are more tycoons and more high-quality players. If you usually play in a league, the attraction to the local league and the brand effect will increase.


    Taking La Liga as an example, Barcelona and Real Madrid themselves abandoned the other 18 teams and sold their TV broadcasting rights. The gap between the rich and the poor is the difference between the world and the world. Now, it may just be a sky, a land, and a universe. In addition, there is still a gap on the ground, anyway, the pattern will not change!


    Besides, this has not completely lost the suspense in the local top league.


    Not a big one!


    Real Madrid Barcelona will still fight!


    The same is true in Italy. With the bad influence of the post-door era, the ball market is sluggish. If the top three in the north can carry the big flag to revive Serie A, so that Serie A can stop the decline, the Italian Football Association is happy to see it.


    Needless to say in the Bundesliga, although Bayern Munich has faced challenges in recent years, the gap between its overall strength and other teams is obvious. The Europa League will only enhance this trend. In a sense, this is also the situation that the German Football Association is happy to see. Because the German football team considers the national team, many experiments and attempts are carried out with Bayern Munich as the soil, including youth training, the cultivation of special role players, the actual combat application effect of technology and tactics, etc.


    There is no problem on the French side. After all, they are excluded from Lyon, but feel very hurt!


    Yes, it is very strange that many small European football associations with poor strength are attacking the selfishness of the European Elite League, and the French Football Association is denounced that the European Elite League has not brought the French team to revolution together!


    On the surface, many European Football Associations have spoken out to boycott the Europa League, but secretly, Russia, Ukraine, Belgium, Turkey, Greece, Czech Republic, etc. Football Association sent representatives to secretly meet with the founding members of the European Elite League!


    They want to join!


    Hope that the top teams in their own country will also appear in the Europa League!


    Not to mention the clubs in the national leagues. In the Premier League, Tottenham and Everton formally submitted their applications immediately after Aldridge returned to London, hoping to join, although they may not be admitted in the long term even if they are accepted. Voucher, but it¡¯s better to be qualified first than not?


    It has to be a bit ideal, what if it is realized?


    Italy, Rome, Florence and other teams submit applications.


    Spain¡¯s Atletico Madrid, Villarreal, Sevilla and other teams submitted applications.


    Germany''s Schalke 04, Bremen and other teams submitted applications.


    ...


    From the day of its establishment, the European Elite League started its work rapidly, and it was full of enthusiasm.


    In the end, Platini received an official response from the UEFA in England, Italy, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, and Portugal at UEFA!


    Forcibly force these 17 European clubs to cancel the Europa League, yes!


    However, if these 17 clubs tear up the agreements with sponsors and TV broadcast companies, each club will have to pay hundreds of millions of euros in breach of contract!


    UEFA, give it money!


    With more than 2 billion euros to pay the breach of contract, we can force these clubs not to hold the Europa League!


    Otherwise, we can''t just watch the financially unsatisfactory teams like Porto, Valencia, Liverpool, Eindhoven go bankrupt?


    Not to mention that there is also the world''s most indebted Manchester United, is it going to drive Manchester United fans crazy?


    Platini is almost crazy!


    Aldridge will not give UEFA any chance to make a comeback!


    After all, the Europa League is going to be held after one and a half years, so as not to have the club to withstand the pressure and regret it, so there are many nights and dreams, so sign the agreement on the day of its establishment, and no one will retreat!


    The key moment is to be ruthless than anyone!


    Seeing no hope of reversal, Platini gradually betrayed his relatives in UEFA!


    The European Elite League has not announced the benefit distribution system, so in the view of the current UEFA, they have completely lost the Champions League!


    Well, many of their businesses and sources of income will be devastated!


    At this time, Beckenbauer traveled around the European countries and lobbied the national football associations. Although he could not promise a noble egalitarian policy like Platini, he promised to allow UEFA to at least resume its role in participating in the UEFA , And get a fairly generous return, at least still take care of small European countries.


    In this context, European countries also know that if they do not agree to Beckenbauer, they may get the benefits they get from UEFA will become very, very cheap, and may even be almost no, after all, the most profitable Europe The Cup is only held once every four years, and it takes less than a month, and even if UEFA continues to host European events without participating in the giants, it may not be as attractive as the four major European leagues, and the benefits it can bring are naturally Ignore it.


    As a result, the European Football Associations have turned their backs and urged Beckenbauer to return to Europe!


    Platini, who took over as UEFA''s president in 2007, walked through his short football political career in anguish.


    In March 2008, UEFA held a plenary meeting to overthrow Platini¡¯s rule, and Beckenbauer was elected UEFA President with 87% support!


    After Beckenbauer took office, the European Elite League immediately announced acceptance of UEFA participation in the management of the UEFA Super League!


    A storm that opened a new pattern in European football finally fell to the ground. In the countdown that global fans are expecting, the European Super League is coming...

 Chapter 1207： Enter a new era!

    In the summer of 2008, in the season that the Premier League has just ended, Millwall defended the league with a terrifying 35 wins and 3 draws. The third-generation mad lion¡¯s attack group did not dare to say that Europe was frightened. After all, Millwall did not participate in Europe. War, but in England, all competitors have shuddered.


    Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Villa, as the main trident in the 38 rounds of the league jointly blasted 87 goals, if you count Kaka, only the number of league goals broke 100!


    Fleet Street joke: C Ronaldo or Messi played, Millwall comes with a halo of 1:0, if two people play at the same time, then comes with a halo of 2:0, if all four of the attacking group come on stage, 99% of the victory in the game belongs to Mill Wall.


    Millwall once again completed the domestic rule under Aldridge''s steady leadership, defending the Triple Crown!


    In the summer of the European Cup, Spain has reached the top!


    Just one week after the European Cup ended, Lion King Stadium ushered in a veteran retirement ceremony.


    The ceremony took place at night.


    The Lion King Stadium did not turn on the entire lighting, but the stadium stands were not dark.


    Three giant portraits fluttered on the south stands, and huge lights shone on it, which was particularly shocking under the night!


    Nedved, Larson, Schneider!


    On the other three stands, the seats arranged in advance were decorated with lights: 7, 10, and 11.


    Below each number, there is the name of the corresponding player.


    Number 7, Schneider.


    Number 10, Nedved.


    On the 11th, Larson.


    The three veterans decided to retire together at this time!


    Larson will be 37 years old in two months.


    Nedved will be 36 years old in a month and a half.


    Schneider was only 35 years old by the end of the year, but the serious injury in the Champions League last season made him fall sharply. German coach Leo failed to give Schneider the chance to participate in the European Cup at the last minute, indeed because he was in Milwaukee. During his playing time this season, he has lost his aura, and there are still some mistakes. His physical condition has declined significantly.


    The three veterans chose to retire together. They did not hold a retired game, but simply performed a short farewell ceremony with fans at home.


    In the star-studded Lion King Stadium, Schneider, Nedved, Larson, and three people walked into the stadium easily in casual clothes. They stood side by side when the lights flickered, huge When the beam of light shrouded them, the cheers and thunderous applause erupted from the entire stadium, enduring!


    Compared to Southgate¡¯s retired competition where stars were shining, and there were a multitude of trophies and honors displayed, that was a bit grandiose. Today, the three veterans retired. The ceremony is extremely simple and low-key. Everything goes without saying.


    They used 14 years of spring and autumn youth blood to compose their legend of green shade!


    They made the No. 7, No. 10 and No. 11 jerseys become significant in the Millwall Club, and it will be Ronaldo, Messi and Aguero who will inherit this honor and responsibility.


    Although countless fans applauded in the stands, many fans also burst into tears while applauding.


    I don''t want to say goodbye, I want to see you again on the green field!


    Aldridge secretly wiped the wetness of his eyes from the sidelines. He knew that from the first day he coached the team, he knew that without them, there would be no success, so when they called the curtain, his heart was full. Unlimited gratitude.


    He patted the backs of his two sons standing next to him. Earl and Burt wore wild lion jerseys, and the brothers walked into the field with a flag pole wrapped in a flag.


    Arriving in front of the three people in Nedved, Burt solemnly asked the flagpole to be handed over to Nedved, and the mad lion warrior waved the flag of the mad lion!


    But Nedved squatted down and smiled at Burt, clapped in his ear and didn''t know what to say, then gave Burt an encouraging look.


    Burt became firm, standing in front of the three men, erecting the flat flagpole, and Earl pulled the corner of the flag, huh...


    The flag of the rusty mad lion''s mighty team emblem appeared in the audience''s line of sight. Burt tried his best to start waving the flag. With every wave of his swing, the fans on the scene would applaud and become more and more loud. Go straight to the sky!


    Nedved, Larson, and Schneider hugged each other¡¯s shoulders and watched the young boy Bert waving the flag of the mad lion again and again. This picture made their hearts quiet and sighed.


    They are no longer the future of the mad lion, just as they chose to retreat quickly, and did not promise Aldridge to persist as much as possible and write the old legend, it does not make sense, they just want to do the best thing for the mad lion, the mad lion now What is needed is fresh blood. While UEFA is ushering in a new era, the mad lion also needs to be refreshed!


    These old guys, hehe, should have self-knowledge and leave the opportunity to young people.


    Because in another season, the mad lion will return to the European War. The European War in the new era will be more brutal and more competitive than in the past!


    They hope that players such as Aguero, Moutinho and Verroso will improve their level as much as possible in the coming year, and then, the crazy lion will meet the challenges of the new era in the best state!


    When the third-generation mad lion is getting closer to the peak, the first-generation mad lion almost announced that it will completely withdraw from the stage of history belonging to the mad lion!


    Halfway around 98, and after 98 years of perseverance to today, Schneider, Nedved, Larson, Southgate have all retired, but the remaining Bout, but also nearly two The year faded out of sight, and he was in a position to stand by at the stand of Millwall''s backup goalkeeper to prepare for the team''s need.


    The mainstay of the second generation of crazy lions, Ronaldinho and Henry, also entered the countdown to leave the team.


    Their competitive state is completely incomparable with the third generation of mad lion''s new power. They have dedicated their best youth to the mad lion. Ronaldinho and Henry will stay in Millwall for another season, which is scheduled to be next season. After the end, he went to the United States to dig for gold, and changed his direction to help Millwall start business cooperation with the American football club and develop the American market. No matter where they go, they will be talked about and recalled with the status of a mad lion legend. The legendary journey left in UEFA!


    The reason why the retirement ceremonies of Nedved, Larsen and Schneider are simple is also because they are not completely related to the mad lion¡¯s farewell. Southgate went to the FA FA, and the three veterans were Aldridge stayed in the club with great sincerity, entered the management, or participated in the club¡¯s global promotion business development work, or participated in the team¡¯s future internal management work, they just stopped the expedition on the green world. , Has not completely left, will also play an important role in the Millwall club.


    When the new season arrives, the crazy lion fans are familiar with the new situation with very subtle emotions: in the VIP stand of the Lion King Stadium, Nedved, Schneider and Larsen sit side by side to watch the ball , Sometimes talking and laughing sometimes with a serious expression.


    This made the fans definitely not used to it at first...


    In the 2008-2009 season, Millwall still did not participate in the European War, and this season''s Champions League will be the last European Championship!


    Aldrich also knows the importance of this season, so he focuses on further improving the strength of young players in the cup, including Bell, Royce, who entered the first team bench.


    The European Elite League is also evolving. The number of member clubs has soared to more than 30, but the Europa League has not reformed the competition system. It is still 24 teams to ensure the quality of the competition.


    In the summer of 2009, Millwall failed to continue the complete monopoly of domestic trophies. He only won two trophies, the League Cup and the League Championship. The FA Cup broke out during the training and was out of the game.


    After the end of the season, Henry and Ronaldinho joined hands to the American Major League. During their farewell ceremony, the club displayed the second authentic trophy of the Champions League. The name of the second generation of crazy lions was engraved on the first one. Ronaldinho and Henry are close behind, it belongs to them to create brilliant memories and glory in the crazy lion, the legendary hall of fame of the crazy lion suddenly became crowded, and Ronaldinho and Henry became the most shining in that decade of the crazy lion¡¯s glory One of the names, and the new journey, has been put in front of the mad lion.


    In the summer of 2009, European football ushered in a new round of shocks. Although the world economic crisis began to erupt, the football market has continued to rise uncharacteristically, because the first UEFA Europa League is about to kick off, those teams who have determined to qualify Before the start of the new season, the TV broadcast fees and sponsorship fees have been very expensive, and this is only part of it!


    England confirmed that the teams participating in the A-level are Manchester United and Chelsea. Liverpool will go to the A-level play-offs, win the A-level game, lose to the B-level, Arsenal will directly enter the B-level, Mill Wall will start from the B-qualifier.


    The Italian A-level teams are Inter Milan and Juventus, AC Milan will play the qualifiers, the B-level is Florence, and the qualifiers have Rome.


    There were confounding results in Spain. The qualification for the A-level match and the Real Madrid doubles Real Madrid won steadily, but they were qualified as Valencia a year and a half ago, but were subsequently joined by Sevilla due to the league record. Leading and snatching away, even Valencia didn''t even qualify for the B-class, the B-class has Atletico Madrid, and the qualifier tickets were obtained by Villarreal.


    For teams that have been steadily qualified for the A-level or B-level, they have obtained sufficient event funds one step in advance. They have set off a round of cargo sweeping frenzy in the transfer market, competing for high-quality stars in those first-tier clubs. Under the account, the climax of the European football transfer market has occurred.


    Millwall is very quiet, and the football market resource pyramid system is most vividly reflected on them.


    The best human resources are hard to come by and can be called priceless.


    Millwall already has the top players of Messi, Ronaldo, Kaka, De Rossi, Nesta, Buffon, Ram, Alonso and so on. They are not afraid of others to buy players to enrich their strength. In contrast, this time the shock of the European football pattern, Millwall actually benefited the most during this period!


    Because in terms of operating costs, they are far ahead of their opponents!


    Don''t look at Real Madrid''s Barcelona digging people out of super high prices and treatment, but in terms of cost, they need to pay a high transfer fee + contract treatment.


    Millwall already has the best players. After obtaining new benefits, they don¡¯t have to spend more than 100 million or more transfer fees. They can use this part of the cost to increase the team¡¯s salary system. Their treatment for players has become higher, and other teams want to dig, relatively, the cost must increase!


    This allows Millwall to more firmly retain the top players in the team! Can already lead other European giants in salary treatment!


    The pace of the new season is getting closer and closer. Millwall''s opponent in the Europa League B qualifier is the Greek champion Olympiacos!

 Chapter 1208： Champion five consecutive kills!

    August 1, 2009.


    Brussels.


    The European Elite League held the opening ceremony of the first UEFA Super League here. After the qualifier draw, a total of 37 club members took a group photo here, sitting in the middle of the first row, it was Aldridge.


    This photo will last forever. In the past year and a half, there have been many controversies surrounding Audridge. Those clubs that have been rejected by the European Elite League have not even participated in the past UEFA Cup. The team, including the upper and middle clubs that are completely stamped on the feet by the giants, has many complaints about Aldridge. In the past, the legendary young coaches are now full of legends, and now they will definitely become a topic in the history of the green world. , Controversial person, people who like him will think of him as an angel, and people who hate him will describe him as a demon!


    He once wrote a wonderful chapter of world football and created one great miracle after another. Now, he has changed the pattern of European football in one hand. This has a profound impact on European football.


    Complimentary criticism, left to future generations for comment


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


    On August 10, before the opening of the Premier League, Millwall had just finished playing the community shield, and then ushered in the qualifying match of the EPL B class at home!


    The Lion King Stadium was full of seats and the scene was extremely hot. Before the game started, the crazy fans pulled out a huge banner on the stands and wrote: Shake it! The mad lion is back!


    The game was about to start, and Aldridge was the last one to walk out of the locker room abnormally. Behind the standing team of Millwall, Aldridge came from behind, patted the players'' backs one by one, and then walked into the court , The footsteps walked steadily to the home team coach stand.


    The noisy atmosphere of the stadium made him feel a little excited.


    Fleet Street is right in the past two years: the domestic N crown is to let him lose some of his passion, especially in the league. Talking about long-distance endurance, Millwall continues from the strongest strength or status, and the thickness of the lineup is all Other teams are unmatched, and other teams have to be distracted by European wars. Millwall''s dominance in the country is deeply rooted and unshakable!


    Olympiacos players felt immense pressure before playing.


    Can''t help turning his head to look at Millwall''s starting lineup, the 11 players, each of which are absolutely top players in their position in today''s football! And most are among the top three!


    Today Millwall''s starting lineup will also be the absolute main lineup for at least the next two years.


    Goalkeeper: Buffon.


    Guards: Ramos, Nesta, Silva, Ram.


    Midfielders: De Rossi, Alonso, Kaka.


    Forwards: Messi, Villa, C Ronaldo.


    Captain De Rossi was full of serious fighting spirit, holding the caddie''s hand forward, and walked out of the player''s passage, as if the stadium was radiant and entered a new world!


    That is the stage where they waited for two years, and it is also theirs!


    The atmosphere of the Lion King Stadium broke out to an unprecedented height today. The hustle and bustle, the fans did not stop crying for a moment, maybe they were away from the European War for two years, and they also suppressed their hearts for a long time. Until today, they have completely vented!


    Olympiacos took a dead posture away from the road, but Millwall was aggressive and bombarded them from the first minute of the game!


    The speed of the ball is extremely fast. The third-generation mad lion has been running and sublimating in the past three years, and finally came to today to achieve great success!


    The lion at the peak!


    No solution!


    In the 9th minute of the game, Kaka gave Alonso a turret outside the penalty area. Alonso''s heavy artillery shot was blocked by the goalkeeper and he followed up with Ronaldo to get the ball back to the shots!


    "At the beginning, Millwall scored the first goal! C Ronaldo opened the team''s first record!"


    After 7 minutes, Millwall concentrated on Ronaldo¡¯s left and repeatedly attacked the opponent¡¯s back line. The attack was launched three times in a row in 1 minute, then Kaka suddenly shifted the attack, Messi drew the ball on the right After the two people were exposed in the unobvious area, they entered the penalty area. The single-handed ball slanted lightly against the goal and shot the far corner of the goal.


    Olympiacos was stunned!


    Less than 20 minutes into the opening, two consecutive goals!


    Can''t help it!


    After Ronaldo and Messi played the threat of breaking the table on the wing, they virtually opened the opponent''s defense to a horizontal gap.


    At this time, Kaka''s rushing on the middle road has become a new threat point.


    In the 29th minute, Olympiacos, who had to score two goals behind because of an offensive goal, was intercepted in the frontcourt, Millwall launched a fast break, and Ram passed for a long pass to find Villa. The latter directly touched the ball after touching the ball. Going back, Kaka ran forward in the back row.


    In the case of a thorough soaring speed and a breakthrough space, Kaka strode the meteor zone ball and the Olympiacos defender pulled in, but Kaka threw his arm away and threw it away!


    Facing the attacking goalkeeper, Kaka came with confidence and scored a goal, then sent the ball into the empty goal!


    Millwall players rushed to celebrate on the sidelines, and the atmosphere on the scene soared as if there was no momentum to stop.


    Aldridge laughed on the sidelines and applauded the players for their wonderful performances. The stands had entered the rhythm of carnival. The fans clapped rhythmically, and then shouted in unison.


    Although the results of the qualifier draw came out, the Olympiacos club expressed deep resentment: to play the qualifier for Mao¡¯s consecutive N-year championship fuck? We should get Arsenal right!


    Even so, Olympiacos did not want to express that they will definitely advance to the main game when they meet Arsenal, but they know that it will be very difficult to advance to the main game, but they did not expect that the game will become like this!


    Their fans are the most sad.


    Come to England not far away, come to this horrible home, and Millwall fans are notorious for their sturdiness, where their tails must be caught.


    I prepared for a long time, and looked forward to for a long time, spent money to come to the scene, shit!


    You let me watch the game in less than 30 minutes! ! ! ! ! !


    3: 0 now.


    There is absolutely no possibility of overturning.


    At least 180 minutes of the two-round match, the suspense was killed in less than 30 minutes.


    This is not the original intention of the establishment of the Europa League. The purpose of the alliance is to present a strong dialogue with a high level of matching or close strength.


    Therefore, there is a quota limit and a grading system.


    It was only because of the distribution of benefits that Millwall made a concession that he ran into the B-Class.


    Of course, Olympiacos complained and felt unfair, but the giants who got the A-Class were very comfortable.


    12 places, 6 promotion, less Millwall, the prospect of their group drawing lot, can not be said to be absolutely good, at least to avoid an absolute strong enemy!


    At the end of the 90-minute game, the live commentator shouted passionately: "6:0! Millwall slaughtered the Greek champion Olympiacos at home. Undoubtedly, they will reach the Europa League group stage! Millwall Come back! The mad lion is back! The king of Europe, return to their stage!"


    ...


    At the end of the month, 24 Europa League teams were born, and Millwall avoided many of the 3-4 teams in the mainstream league in the group draw of the B-class.


    Even though the outside world also maliciously vilified Millwall, this is the rhythm of Millwall being escorted.


    Look at their opponents.


    Last season''s Ligue 1 champion, Bordeaux.


    Russian Super League champion, Moscow Central Army.


    Su Chao champion, Rangers.


    Champions League, Anderlecht.


    Fourth place in La Liga, Atletico Madrid.


    When Aldridge came forward to respond to the suspicion of "being escorted", he asked rhetorically: "If we are divided into another group, it seems that it will be said to be escorted?"


    In another group, there are Arsenal, Florence, Leverkusen and other teams, but Millwall used to have that group, is there any big difference?


    The bottom line is that Millwall should have played A-Class!


    Some people rejoice and others worry.


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


    This makes Bordeaux coach Blanco very depressed.


    However, it has made the Europa League more topics.


    On this top stage, Mo said that Aldrich¡¯s acquaintances, his former assistants, are quite numerous.


    For example, Porto coach Boas, Bordeaux coach Blanco, and then the old almanac, Liverpool coach Benitez has also worked with him.


    It is more regrettable that Jenson, who led Eindhoven in the first two years in the Champions League, failed to continue to appear on this stage. Otherwise, Aldridge played in the European War, and it seems that he has come to the door with his friends.


    The magnificent Europa League kicked off.


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


    There are fewer group matches in the top European tournaments than in the past.


    However, in the A-level, almost every time except the FIFA match day and the way to make way for the domestic cup, there are giants in the middle of every week!


    This makes fans love and hate!


    European fans are better. Other continents, sometimes worse, have messed up the circadian clock in order to watch the game, but basically no one regrets it, but is getting more and more excited.


    There are very few upsets in Group A, because of the strong dialogue, no result is unexpected, unless a team like Porto counterattacks, it is considered upset.


    The giants are in a big fight, and the climax of the battle is over and over. After each round, the team''s qualifying situation always presents a situation that is unpredictable and unpredictable. No team can prematurely establish the advantage of absolute qualifying, making the game suspense. Existence, and the wonderful showdown between the giants is also the biggest attraction.


    Relative to the turbulent fighting of the giants in Group A, the teams were scarred, but Millwall was smooth sailing in the B-class.


    In 10 group matches, he scored 8 wins and 2 draws.


    All the champion teams of France, Russia, Belgium, and Scotland have been eliminated!


    Counting the Greek champion of the qualifying game, Millwall returned to the European War half of the season and completed five consecutive kills against the champions of five European leagues!

 Chapter 1209： Ultimate BOSS

    The trend of the first Europa League B-Class was not unexpected. Millwall and Arsenal won the first place in the two groups and advanced to the knockout.


    However, there was a jaw-dropping result over the A-Class.


    Real Madrid, Liverpool and Juventus have all died down in the group stage!


    Of course, if you look at the teams that advanced to the knockout, this result is not too surprising.


    Bayern Munich, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Barcelona, ??Manchester United, Chelsea.


    The top 8 was released.


    There is no principle of circumvention in the division drawing. The first team can touch the first team, and the teams in the same country do not avoid it.


    No matter who touches the top eight, it will be an eye-catching battle!


    After streamlining the schedule, in the second half of the season, the Europa League knockout can focus on only one peak match on match day! Maximize profits! Maintain continuous attention from outsiders on the event.


    It can be said that in addition to the winter break and the time before and after, in other competition periods, the first UEFA Super League only looks at the gains of the group stage, and has already exploded the previous Champions League!


    For these giants who have advanced to the knockout, the challenge may not be just the difficulty of the knockout.


    It also includes those who have eliminated competitors from the same country in the group stage, given pressure in the league, and want to get tickets for the Europa League next season. The local league is guaranteed, although it is only the ranking of club members within the league, such as the Premier League. If Bolton got the runner-up in the league, but Bolton is not a member of the European Elite League, they are also not eligible for tickets. Even if Bolton applies to join, it will take another season as soon as possible, but first of all, he needs to be approved.


    Fleet Street is a big hit for the first UEFA Super League!


    Why?


    Prosperous Premier League!


    The top 8 places, the Premier League accounted for four!


    Although the fate of Arsenal''s division into the A-class may be similar to that of Liverpool, anyway, Arsenal also advanced through the thrilling series of games in the B-class.


    It is a pity that three of the four Premier League teams have been divided into one and a half!


    No way, the probability of meeting oneself is very high.


    Moreover, this at least sent a Premier League team into the semi-finals.


    One and a half districts are the top three in the Premier League to suppress Inter Milan.


    The other half is Millwall vs Bayern Munich, Barcelona VSAC Milan.


    Millwall executives actually have a very good relationship with Bayern Munich.


    But in the eyes of fans, this matchup is definitely a narrow path!


    Not to mention the grievances of the two teams in the previous Champions League, only looking at the coach, Audridge and Van Gaal also belonged to the "dead rival" in the media long ago.


    End of February.


    Millwall is a guest at the Allianz Arena.


    Bayern Munich is now ushering in a strong period of upward momentum.


    In addition to the growth of German local players such as Piggy and Bad Steuber, it also included the top offensive combination after Luo Zhibo and Ribery.


    Millwall has had some gains and losses this season. The Europa League B games are frequent. They lost the League Cup line early in the home country, mainly in the league and the European war. Fortunately, other competitors were due to the European war in the early stage. It is too cruel, the league record fluctuates greatly, and Millwall also has record fluctuations, but the relative fluctuation is smaller, and it is more stable than other teams, but the advantage in the league is as obvious as ever.


    Leading the mad lion who came to the battle to the Allianz Arena, Aldridge did not take Van Gaal in the eye!


    You have Ribery and Robben, and I have Messi and Ronaldo.


    You have, I am stronger than you!


    You don¡¯t have one, I have many, many more!


    But I have to say that Bayern Munich''s arrival of Van Gaal since the failure of Klinsmann''s reform last season marked the beginning of returning to the top ranks.


    Only, they are still on the road!


    Far from reaching the peak.


    Robben, Ribery, Olic played well at home, but the weakness in the midfield is too obvious!


    Van Gaal decisively allowed the team to fight back at home, and Millwall played away at home!


    Aldrich completely abandoned the idea of ??utilitarianism when the first UEFA Super League arrived.


    It is conceivable that when he has players such as Ronaldo, Messi and Kaka, if he goes to play utilitarian football, this will only limit the players, not better stimulate them!


    Over time, it is also unfavorable to the development of the team. It could have been able to break through again at the limit, break through, break through again!


    But because of the utilitarian idea, the team may stay at the extreme height they thought.


    Millwall played a high-light performance at the Allianz Arena based on strong midfield control!


    In the 31st minute of the first half, Ramos made a pass from the side, Villa made a slam shot in the middle, and after the outsourcing C Luo jumped to the top to send the ball into the goal, I have to say that Bayern Munich¡¯s The goalkeeper position is flawed! Especially the chaotic situation in the restricted area is handled terribly!


    However, Bayern Munich counterattacked before the end of the first half. Robben and Ribery came close to the same side and played a small range of exquisite cooperation.


    Although Robben''s last blow was blocked by Buffon, Olic''s ecstatic goal kicked the ball back, causing Millwall to lose the first ball of the European competition in the last five games.


    In the second half, Millwall still didn''t stop the offensive footsteps. The most important part of the third-generation mad lion''s skills and tactics was to strike east and west.


    There are two left and right roads. After the main attack all the way, they quickly transfer. When the transfer is successful, whether it is Ronaldo or Messi, they have more freedom. The team creates room for them to play personally, and then At that time, they need a personal outbreak!


    And when the threats from both sides are out, Kaka and Villa in the middle will play their unexpected killer roles. It can be said that Millwall can already hide the tactical height of the attack point from all angles, and Flexible use and free play.


    In the 72nd minute of the game, Messi sent a delicate straight after a continuous breakthrough on the right. Villa and Kaka crossed the position and Van Bitten was more embarrassing. Villa shot from a low angle and broke the goal and regained the lead. score.


    Bayern Munich, who was not far behind at home, launched a mad attack, but after 10 minutes, Ronaldo staged a long-distance attack and rolled the ball in a wide pass to give Messi an assist!


    Messi''s goal looks unpretentious, but Cristiano Ronaldo''s assist is amazing!


    Crossing from the middle of the back to the back, the ball is still on the ground, the speed is very fast, just leaving the defensive player a position, can''t reach the foot, one step before the interception is so half a second and a second later!


    At the end of the game, Van Gaal''s face was ugly. Bayern Munich has made great progress this season compared to last season. After Klinsmann left last season, Heinckes temporarily took charge of the team and went to Lever after helping the team win the thrilling championship. Kusen took on the new position, but Wolfsburg, who should have been able to counterattack, was recruited by European giants. In the summer of 2008, Zheke was poached at a high price, which led to the difficulty of relying on the Graffite singles in the Bundesliga. Counterattack Bayern Munich.


    The battle of Allianz came to an end. Millwall defeated Bayern Munich 3-1 away and stepped into the quarterfinals with one foot.


    After the group stage cut a bunch of second-tier league champions, Millwall also cut the Bundesliga champion!


    After two weeks in the Lion King stadium, Bayern Munich lost the same score, the total score was 6:2 was eliminated by Millwall.


    In the same half of the other two strong dialogues, Barcelona finished AC Milan and advanced to the semi-finals, meeting with Millwall in the semi-finals.


    In the other half, Mourinho led Inter Milan to eliminate the old club Chelsea, Manchester United killed Arsenal in the Premier League civil war.


    At the end of March, Millwall ushered in the challenge of Barcelona at home.


    At this time, the coach of Barcelona is already Guardiola.


    He has transformed Barcelona''s technical and tactical system with a single hand, with a subversive change.


    This is the success of a tactical system.


    The same applies to the Spanish national team, with Spain winning the 2008 European Cup as the representative, Barcelona will play the control tactics to the extreme.


    However, this is definitely weaker than Barcelona in the original history.


    Guardiola''s tactical system is a success, but a successful technical and tactical system does not represent an absolute overwhelming advantage for the team.


    Like, when Juventus dominated Apennine, did you not have a solid technical and tactical system?


    Over the years, Manchester United haven''t a set of technical and tactical system that has penetrated into the three-dimensional image of the people?


    Are those technical and tactical systems unsuccessful?


    Of course all are successful.


    The key depends on the players.


    For example, Barcelona''s technical and tactical system remains the same, but if Xavi is replaced by another midfielder, will the team have the same fighting power?


    Of course not, and it will be greatly discounted.


    Similarly, if Manchester United has half a team of world-class players, Ferguson''s set always reminiscent of retro and traditional tactics will also be endless.


    To say how fierce the subversive nature of Barcelona is, there is not too much impact now, because there is Millwall, no matter how exquisite teamwork they play or control and oppression, the first generation of Millwall, the second generation of crazy lions, Continuing to the third generation of mad lions, there are classics that are more outstanding than them. Zhuyu is ahead, naturally it is difficult to launch a huge impact, but the success of this technical and tactical system is effective on the Spanish national team. , To help Spain lose the qualifier king derogatory title, truly standing on top of the European football, this caused a huge response naturally different.


    Although the technical and tactical system is important, it has not reached a level where it can absolutely dominate fate. Aldrich has only placed the player¡¯s importance first in the future from the first day of coaching to the present, even in the future. hard power!


    For Guardiola, Aldridge will not be excited because he is about to play against him.


    With Mourinho''s previous combat experience, Odri? understood the fact that it is not the right time to be born!


    Well, this refers to Guardiola and Mourinho.


    Aldrich started earlier than them. This leading advantage is huge. By the time everyone meets to make a move, Aldridge has become a monster. It is the ultimate BOSS that the opponent and even all the contemporary coaches have racked their brains to defeat.

 Chapter 1210： Pinnacle battle

    When Aldridge welcomed Guardiola at the Lion King Stadium, he had to lament the years.


    When he led the rise of the mad lion in Europe, Mourinho was still a teaching assistant, and Guardiola was one of the four famous talents.


    In a blink of an eye, the two of them comforted each other in the Netherlands in the summer of 97 and became world-class marshals, and Aldridge was not the kid who fled in the beginning of the year.


    Guardiola, who led the team to the Lion King Stadium, was as thin as ice. He walked into this Mega Europe stadium and listened to the deafening home momentum. His face was completely relaxed.


    Aldridge chatted with him for a few words, and there was no business communication. Normal courtesy greetings.


    Before the game started, the two coaches stood on the sidelines. Guardiola was expressionless, and his heart was thinking: This away game will be extremely difficult!


    In addition to the strength of the team, there is also the distribution of team energy. Millwall has a strong lineup. In order to prepare for this game, in the past a league and a FA Cup have sent off the bench, and Barcelona are in La Liga and Real. Madrid struggled inseparably. Real Madrid, who was eliminated from the tournament, concentrated on competing in the league and put tremendous pressure on Barcelona.


    Coupled with Millwall sitting at home and waiting for work, Barcelona''s transcendent skills and tactics system in La Liga, itself does not have much advantage in front of Millwall, using Fleet Street to build momentum: Barcelona is just learning Millwall.


    Players from both teams entered the stadium head-on, and the atmosphere was detonated.


    "The semi-finals of the first UEFA Europa League is about to start, and Millwall, who is back in the European War, will play against the last Champions League champion Barcelona! There is no doubt that this will be a peak battle, let''s take a look at the starting list of both sides.


    Millwall started 433.


    Goalkeeper: Buffon.


    Guards: Ramos, Nesta, Silva, Ram.


    Midfielders: De Rossi, Alonso, Kaka.


    Forwards: Messi, Aguero, C Ronaldo.


    The main striker Villa missed the game due to injury, but he will rush back to the injury before the second round. This is the information released by Millwall today.


    Barcelona started 433.


    Goalkeeper: Valdes.


    Guards: Alves, Puyol, Pique, Abidal.


    Midfielders: Boutix, Yaya Tour¨¦, Harvey.


    Forwards: Pedro, Ibrahimovic, Iniesta. "


    In order to increase the defensive hardness of the midfield, Guardiola was afraid of Millwall''s offensive firepower and deliberately put out the midfield combination of two big players, Boutix and Toure, and Iniesta moved to play as a winger.


    Pedro is a player who does not seem to be particularly obvious, but his performance under Guardiola is amazing, and the killer role played in this system is clear at a glance.


    In the summer, Eto''o and Ibrahimovic exchanged transfers. However, according to the current degree of integration of Ibrahimovic into this team, or to adapt to the team''s system, this transfer is not particularly successful.


    Millwall didn''t have much problem here. Villa was recuperating and Aguero played a fake center.


    From the perspective of the strength of the two teams, Millwall is slightly stronger and indeed better than Barcelona, ??but it will not open a particularly obvious gap. It can even be said that the gap between the defender line and the midfield line is very small, and the gap is on the front line. on.


    But the striker needs to be supported by the midfield and the back defense!


    Without a solid defense, the offense alone is difficult to support.


    Without the support of the midfielder, there is no way to attack.


    When the referee''s whistle sounded, Aldridge raised his chin slightly on the sidelines, his eyes sharp and sharp.


    In the Lion King Stadium, against Barcelona, ??he will fight the battle of the right!


    Millwall, who has been away from the European War for two years, must cut down the division of the European King who won the Grand Slam last season!


    have to!


    This is the beginning of the restoration of the dynasty!


    Barcelona''s proud pass control did not play out in this game. Here, Millwall uses a more active running, better physical advantage, and a more tacit teamwork to firmly control the ball!


    When Barcelona obtained the right to attack, although it was mainly based on transmission and control, in front of Millwall, it seemed to be axe in the class.


    Because they only pass the control in the midfield and backcourt, to the front line of the offensive end, completely unable to score!


    The third-generation mad lion''s defense requirements are slightly rigid, with the midfield as the boundary, and the joint defense in the midfield and backcourt area, and Barcelona also abandoned the high position they are good at!


    Dare not!


    Never dare to **** high position!


    Millwall can hold the ball in the midfield and has a long pass. He dares to invest in high-level snatching. Then his backcourt is too large, and Millwall''s offensive speed is the best in the world. The risk is unimaginable, it is simply to open the door and let the opponents stay on the ground!


    Perhaps in the eyes of the fans, Millwall and Barcelona met without a particularly passionate confrontation.


    Because both teams are in control, the roles of the two sides switch back and forth between being suppressed and being suppressed. They will fall back and forth for a long time and pass the ball. If the ball rights are not exchanged, I am afraid that it will really make people sleepy.


    In this kind of control, the higher and lower skills of the two sides gradually appear in front of the public.


    Barcelona mostly pass back and forth in the midfield and backcourt. Once a threat penetrates the attack, they can¡¯t pass more than three feet in the dangerous zone, but Millwall can control the midfield and shape the offensive situation and then develop the attack to the dangerous zone. Create a shot, threaten to shoot!


    Guardiola was very annoyed by the team''s performance on the sidelines!


    Although from a technical point of view, Barcelona''s ball possession rate is equal to Millwall!


    However, most of Barcelona''s ball control is invalid!


    Failure to create a ball that threatens to attack is ineffective!


    The acceleration point of the game is often on the side of Millwall!


    Messi, Ronaldo, Kaka, and even Aguero.


    Only when Millwall formed a good offensive situation with the overall cooperation, their stars began to accelerate, so that the audience immediately excited.


    There are also moments that make the audience a little nervous.


    Will you score?


    Will the well-ordered game situation get completely out of control? Fall into a dogfight?


    At such a tense moment, the scene suddenly made Aldridge laugh.


    Kaka broke through the dribble in the middle and was defended by Booths. Butkocks intercepted the ball with a slow shot. Kaka passed by quickly. He started to pull Kaka''s arm. Kaka was used to it. He flicked his arm away, and then Boutske immediately fell to the ground, and he rolled!


    While falling to the ground, he covered his face with his hands. After rolling, his hands covering his face opened a small gap, and his ecstatic eyes turned to the head referee. Want to see what the referee would do?


    The referee blew the game!


    Also looked at Butzkes in the first time.


    However, the referee''s eyes are quite helpless.


    Kaka is very angry!


    It is common for him to be pulled against his arm or jersey, and his speed is too fast. The effect of pulling the jersey is not obvious. Physical contact is the most effective way to prevent acceleration.


    So he flicked away to form a habit of pulling his own movements, but his backward swinging movement has never been higher than the shoulder position, and even practiced the habit of just swinging his arms backwards.


    If Buzzkes was covering his chest or ribs, that would make sense.


    But cover your face?


    What touched his face?


    Kaka thought that the main referee would stop the game and he would be fouled. He was about to protest with the head referee. As a result, he saw the referee walked in front of Butts and showed a yellow card.


    The position of the head referee was just fine. He saw the pulling action of Boutix. If Millwall''s offense was favorable, he was ready to blow the penalty. Then Boutix covered his face and fell to the ground, exaggerating I played a roll, this is a blatant play with the referee!


    Boutix immediately stood up and just started to defend. The referee shook his head slightly at him, meaning that he didn''t want to listen to what he said. If you just make trouble, don''t blame Lao Tie for mercilessly giving you a red card.


    After determining that the opponent was fined and received a yellow card, Millwall fans in the stands were mad.


    Probably, there are also factors that have been infected by Aldridge on the sidelines.


    The young man is really smiling, and applauding like in a comedy!


    When he saw that Boutskes couldn''t remember Professor Ya''s horn, now he suddenly acted like this, and Aldridge smiled directly.


    Guardiola walked seriously and negotiated with the fourth official on the sidelines, as if to convince people, and negotiated well with the fourth official. When he returned to his position, he patted his arm with the fourth official.


    The game situation is already unfavorable, Guardiola does not want the team to be dissatisfied with the referee team because of the extra action.


    Where is it?


    Lion King Stadium!


    In the face of Millwall, using unconventional means to obtain favorable punishment, is this not self-defeating?


    The refereeing committee of the European Elite League has made three orders, and players must be honest in the arena! For fake throws, exaggerated performances and the like, it is precisely hit hard!


    With the passage of time, Millwall''s home advantage became more and more obvious. In the 43rd minute of the first half, Millwall played an elaborate cooperation in the frontcourt. Alonso, Ram, Cristiano Ronaldo left in the frontcourt Road formed a triangle pass combination. After a round of pass coordination, Ronaldo cut the middle and swapped with Aguero to interfere with the opponent''s defense.


    Aguero knocked the ball back to Kaka on the middle road behind Cristiano Ronaldo. At this time, Kaka, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo formed a new triangle pass combination in the front right area, but the position was already close. The opponent''s restricted area!


    Kaka transferred the ball to Messi''s feet. Messi found the passing space after breaking through Abidal and sent a pass to the top pass. Cristiano Ronaldo jumped in the middle of the penalty area to head the ball!


    The ball went straight to the corner of the upper right corner of the goal. Valdes flew to the end but failed to touch the ball!


    Millwall leads Barcelona at home!


    1:0.

 Chapter 1211： Cut another one!

    When Ronaldo scored a goal, Guardiola''s scalp was about to explode!


    He is too familiar with this rhythm!


    To Millwall, scoring a goal is like a door to heaven!


    Once you lead the ball, this gate seems to be pushed halfway by them!


    All the pressure will flow to the opponent!


    Millwall will become more and more relaxed. What about opponents?


    There will be differences in thinking, starting 11 players, there may also be inconsistencies.


    For the giants, the first goal of the game is always the most important, because the giants are stronger, and their opponents are not as good as them. As long as they score the first goal, the opponent will actively expose more flaws in the back .


    This phenomenon rarely occurs in strong dialogues, or cannot continue to appear because the strong dialogues themselves are not far apart. Whoever advances the ball will have an impact on the final result of the game, and it will not be as frequent as the truth as strong and weak dialogues. degree.


    However, Millwall copied this phenomenon into a strong dialogue.


    They are too stable!


    The champion is too strong!


    And it seems that Aldridge actively instilled such consciousness, and remained patient with the first goal. After the first goal appeared, pay more attention to the changes of the opponent and adjust the game strategy with the changes of the opponent, which has improved even more. Win the game!


    This is before Guardiola has coached Barcelona, ??he has repeatedly studied Millwall in countless games and gained experience!


    Why study Millwall?


    Because Millwall is the strongest in Europe, it''s that simple.


    He put on a tough midfield today, also to ensure that he can retire at the Lion King Stadium.


    But in actual combat, the effect is not satisfactory!


    The ball is now lost. Although it is only a ball, no matter the time or the situation, it is extremely unfavorable to Barcelona, ??and almost makes Barcelona come to the edge of the cliff!


    It is no exaggeration that the world-class coach will not care about the specific gap of the score.


    If there is a turnaround point, one ball behind, there is absolutely enough confidence to reverse!


    If the team has two or even three turnover points, even if two goals behind, three goals, the coach will not be discouraged!


    But if there is no turning point, even if it is only one ball behind, it will make the coach feel weak and even desperate! Can only pin hope on luck, and hope that there will be accidental factors in the game to make your own team profitable! For example, one of the opponent''s players made a mistake, or simply put an own goal, a fatal return, etc., but these should definitely not be considered within the plan of the top coach.


    The time point of the goal is beneficial to Millwall!


    The first half is over. The coach will adjust during the halftime and calmly deal with the second half. Guardiola confirms that Audric will definitely do this because the opponent has been doing it for many years and has done a very, very good job!


    What about the situation?


    Barcelona can''t see a turning point!


    Physical fitness, running, coordination, personal ability, the team''s technical and tactical control of the situation, in all aspects, don''t look at Guardiola''s expressionless face, in fact his heart is sinking, as if falling into a bottomless hole!


    During the intermission, Guardiola emphasized the mentality of the team without making tactical changes. In fact, no matter how it changes now, it will first have a huge impact on Barcelona¡¯s mentality. Attacking, they may become radical. Defensively, it is possible to completely turn the game to one side without gaining any chance, and even luck will not appear.


    The more contests between top teams, the greater the direct impact of mentality on the game results!


    Like a game between small teams, perhaps the unbalanced side can play unexpected results, such as being extremely aggressive and eating up the opponent in one fell swoop, making the opponent unprepared, that is because the opponent''s psychological quality is not too hard!


    When it comes to the confrontation between the top teams, the mentality is particularly important, with a slight deviation, it is possible to bury a game.


    In the second half Aldridge saw Barcelona''s performance, mainly stable.


    Aldrich is full of war: more stable than who? Sorry, Pep, to disappoint you! The third generation of crazy lions has been very stable since childhood.


    The scene of the game was once unsettled and time passed by bit by bit. When the game time continued to decrease, Guardiola was not satisfied with the situation in front of him, but he was not disappointed.


    If the first round ends with a 0:1 round and the next round is at Camp Nou, Barcelona will still have the opportunity to dare to say equal, at least there is not a low chance of winning!


    However, Millwall continued to put pressure on Barcelona, ??the speed of the ball transfer, the game rhythm did not actually fluctuate too much, but it was in this one that was not fast enough, but in the faster rhythm, the physical energy of the team was consumed a lot !


    Guardiola wants Barcelona and Milwall to have a stable mindset.


    Aldridge asked Millwall to compete with Barcelona in the second half!


    From the 75th minute, Barcelona''s defense clearly showed more loopholes. If Kaka and Aguero each missed a golden opportunity, Millwall had already expanded his lead!


    With the back line screaming, Barcelona¡¯s physical performance in continuous combat is obviously behind Millwall. In the overall offensive and defensive transition, it is obvious that Millwall is faster and smoother, but they did not deliberately speed up the rhythm again. It¡¯s not that they are fast. But Barcelona can¡¯t keep up, it¡¯s slow!


    In the 83rd minute, Millwall, who seemed to have followed the rules of the attack and had been figured out by Barcelona, ??suddenly had a new offensive point and reached the front line: right-back Ramos!


    Messi controlled the ball on the right. After getting rid of, he suddenly took the ball back two steps. At the same time, Ramos quickly cut into the rib of the penalty area. Messi sent another foot cross from his left foot, but this time it was a pick pass. After the anti-offside, Sis completed an air relay with Aguero in the middle. He headered the ball to the middle. Aguero was short, but the ball was not high. He grabbed the top of the head before Pique. It was extremely uncomfortable for Valdes, the angle was not tricky, but it was just below his left side, the arm was directly out of reach, and the leg was not high enough, so when the center of gravity lowered the side flutter, it was slow again!


    When the ball flew into the goal, Guardiola was shocked.


    It seems that Millwall used two headers to solve the battle, but the technical and tactical strength contained in it is not so simple as a rude and simple header.


    Moreover, Cristiano Ronaldo''s header can be justified. His jumping ability is amazing, and he has the ability to control the air.


    The Lion King Stadium was full of joy, and Aldridge inspired the atmosphere on the sidelines!


    2: 0.


    Although he can¡¯t kill suspense, Millwall stood outside the final score!


    It has to be said that Barcelona¡¯s inner quality is very strong under Guardiola¡¯s training, knowing that physical fitness is not at the same level as Millwall, and they are not stubbornly going crazy like crazy in the remaining time. That¡¯s just Ring the death knell for themselves and kill the suspense of the second round.


    At the end of the 90-minute game, Audridge shook hands with Guardiola after the game. The two didn''t say anything. There were still 90 minutes.


    But Guardiola felt very heavy.


    1:0 and 2:0, for Barcelona''s situation are two very different environments.


    In late April, Millwall returned to the Camp Nou. Barcelona needed to score at least two goals at home to qualify for the finals, which made their playing attitude significantly different from that of the Lion King Stadium.


    Even if he couldn¡¯t control the scene, he still had to work hard to control it. In the 90 minutes of the second round, Barcelona took the lead to score a goal, but then Millwall pulled two goals in a row, Messi staged a score at the Camp Nou. For the second time, he helped Millwall eliminate the last Champions League with a total score of 4:1 and successfully reached the final of the first UEFA Europa League!


    The final will be held at the Lion King Stadium!


    Their home court!


    At the end of the game, Aldridge''s eyes were bloody, his grin became grim, and outsiders could not hear what he muttered.


    Cut another champion!


    Millwall returned to London from Barcelona and was greeted enthusiastically by fans.


    From now on, all crazy Lion fans are looking forward to the Europa League final in the Lion King Stadium in mid-May!


    Fleet Street speaks beautifully to Millwall.


    However, the battle situation in the other half of the district made the fleet scolding the mother!


    The three English Premier League teams surrounding the European war are weak and infamous Inter Milan!


    The final result is: Inter Milan has made a comeback!


    Will meet with Millwall on top of Europe!


    The finals began to be hyped by the media after the two sides were determined.


    On the one hand, Aldridge played against Inter Milan coach Mourinho for the fourth time in the final of the European War!


    Mourinho lost twice in Porto and once in Chelsea. For the fourth time, the media is not optimistic that he will be ashamed!


    Even though Inter Milan has indeed made great progress, the gap is obvious compared to Millwall. Even the outside world does not think that Inter Milan is stronger than Barcelona, ??but is weaker than Barcelona. After all, Inter Milan stumbled during the group stage. Only thrilled to advance.


    Another point is that Millwall¡¯s shocking case in the Champions League was against Inter Milan, even though the club¡¯s top executives did not regard this incident as hatred, but there will be grudges between fans. At that time, the irrational Millwall Fans, but the bus that has besieged Inter Milan.


    Fleet Street defines this final as: Reincarnation!


    Three years ago, Millwall''s engagement with Inter Milan at the Lion King Stadium became the fuse for their withdrawal from the European War.


    Three years later, he returned to the European War and the two teams met again. The location was still the Lion King Stadium!


    This is indeed a reincarnation, and Audric and Mourinho are about to start a new war.


    2010 is the World Cup year. The Premier League ended early. On May 9, Millwall won the league championship trophy again at the Lion King Stadium!


    A week later, he won Portsmouth crowned double crown in the FA Cup final.


    Five days later, they are waiting in line at the Lion King Stadium and Inter Milan strikes!

 Chapter 1212： Eight consecutive cuts return to the throne!

    May 22, 2010.


    Lion King Stadium.


    The first UEFA Europa League final is about to start!


    The flag of the mad lion is flying on the stands, with the Lion King Stadium as the center. East London has become the focus of the green world. Countless mad lion fans who have no tickets to the stadium come as close as possible to the Lion King Stadium to watch During the game, the bar was overcrowded, and even the owners of ordinary convenience stores risked being fined to present live football matches to the public on television.


    The ambitious Mourinho is back!


    Millwall also returned to the top of Europe under the leadership of Aldridge!


    The grand game scene quickly spread to the whole world through live television.


    Mourinho, who already has some gray hair in his hair, is a legendary young coach Aldridge against the young and powerful!


    The players of the two teams entered the battlefield with their heads up and determined to write an epic chapter on the green field!


    UEFA President Beckenbauer stood up and applauded as the players entered the court.


    The first UEFA Europa League is not perfect, but compared to the previous Champions League, passionate football runs through the entire season, and at the end of the season, the exciting peak battle is also staged repeatedly. In the end, the two teams that can reach the final , Awe-inspiring.


    Audric and Mourinho shook hands before the game, but there was no greeting.


    Just as the two will also publish their opinions and support for different philosophies of football in public, it is clear that the two are tit-for-tat, and there is no contradiction.


    For this final, Mourinho''s confidence is hard to say than it was when he led Chelsea and Millwall to the final.


    Because the current Inter Milan and Chelsea that year, the strength gap is not too big, maybe a little stronger, maybe difficult to divide.


    Millwall is stronger than before!


    Messi and Ronaldo are on the front line, Kaka and Villa are standing in the pinnacle of their own state. Alonso is already a master in the midfield. De Rossi inherited the fighting spirit of Nedved and dare not say The defense is absolutely watertight, but the extra points of his temperament make him not to be ignored.


    Bout made a low-level mistake that year, almost causing Millwall to lose the championship, and today Buffon, although slightly inferior to 2006, is not much different, especially because he is very stable and hardly sees him. Will make low-level mistakes.


    In any case, Mourinho will not bow his head to admit defeat. His team is carrying Inter Milan farewell to the top European tournament for 45 years. The fans are eagerly looking forward to one generation, two generations, Even the expectations of three generations!


    "The first UEFA Europa League final is about to start. The two teams coming to the final are Millwall from England and Inter Milan from Italy!


    Today, both teams can send the strongest lineup, let us look at the starting list of both sides.


    Millwall 433.


    Goalkeeper: Buffon.


    Guards: Ramos, Nesta, Silva, Ram.


    Midfielders: De Rossi, Alonso, Kaka.


    Forwards: Messi, Villa, C Ronaldo.


    Inter Milan 442.


    Goalkeeper: Cesar.


    Guards: Maicon, Samuel, Lucio, Zivo.


    Midfielders: Zanetti, Cambiasso, Sneijder, Mota.


    Forwards: Eto''o, Milito. "


    Perhaps because the opponent is Mourinho, Aldridge will have certain foresight on Inter Milan''s platoon formation and technical and tactical play today. When the game is about to start, he is not surprised!


    This is almost the same as that of Chelsea at that time, at most there was a little change on the front line.


    And the routine, there will not be too many unexpected places.


    Anti-reverse!


    The moment the game started, Aldridge''s eyes narrowed slightly and his fists clenched slightly.


    He looks forward to the team being able to play according to his requirements in this game!


    Explode all the energy of the crazy lion!


    He does not care what technique and tactics Inter Milan adopts!


    According to Millwall''s strength and the advantage of home court, what he wants to show to the outside world is not only the ambition to win the championship, but also the style that really belongs to the mad lion!


    From the beginning of the game, the energetic Millwall quickly established a dominant position on the field. Inter Milan, like Chelsea at that time, attached great importance to the defense of the fan-shaped area in front of the goal. Because of this, there are no two pure players in their midfield. As for the wing players, only Zanetti is, but defensively, Inter Milan is still strengthening the barrier effect of the midfielder against the back line.


    They dare not take the initiative to anti-rob and intercept in all directions.


    Millwall then stepped forward through two fullbacks to increase the response points, and then torn the opponent''s defense line by making the ball run quickly in all directions!


    When needed, the full-back will firmly enter the penalty area and transform into a forward!


    On the striker line, Cristiano Ronaldo and Villa changed places frequently, Messi and Villa also changed places frequently. The busiest, of course, was Villa, but he did well in the tasks assigned to him by the coaching staff.


    It can be said that the third-generation mad lion came to the peak, and it was inseparable from Villa¡¯s personal sacrifice. Now this pseudo-center makes the role lose the traditional impression of the center as the team¡¯s first scoring point, but it is active. After two wingers, Villa also scored a high number of goals. This is a mutually beneficial virtuous cycle, but the team''s role and status are very different from the past.


    It seems that Villa''s average scoring rate is only about 0.15 lower than Henry''s, but he definitely does not have Henry''s tactical status at Millwall.


    Mourinho watched Millwall''s unpredictable offensive mode on the sidelines. The players changed positions frequently, but the overall position and regional distribution were methodical. Inter Milan despite the posture of guarding against the dead, frequently rang in the penalty area. alarm!


    At this moment, Mourinho was shaken!


    is it wrong?


    Was he wrong?


    That''s right, he chose utilitarian and defensive supremacy!


    And defense requires strict integration and meticulous care. It is not allowed to make the slightest mistakes, so it is difficult to say that in terms of change, it is more flexible to pursue changes.


    But the offensive is different, the more the unchanging offensive, the lower the offensive power, and the unprecedented power will glow in the constant change!


    Millwall has been changing, starting from 442 when Aldridge took over the team, and finally fixed at 433. The fans of the Lions also proudly declared that Millwall is unchanged for 433 years, but this is actually wrong.


    433 is just a frame.


    In fact, Millwall has 433 as the most basic formation during sports battles, such as 442, 451, 424, 343, etc. This type of offensive and tactical formation is what they are good at. In terms of change and flexible switching, they can use their ease to make their opponents Unpredictable!


    Mourinho shook his head suddenly, his face ruthless!


    He will not admit that he chose the wrong way!


    But on the scene, Inter Milan is extremely passive, and the busiest person has become goalkeeper Cesar.


    Millwall didn''t force the opponent''s most defensive fan-shaped area in front of the door. Instead, he used the side players to attack the depth of the attack after frequent transfers, and then returned, the offense was then transferred to the middle for a long shot!


    In such frequent long-range bombings, Cesar is busy rescues!


    Inter Milan also have sporadic counter-attack opportunities, but in Niesta and Silva''s watertight defense, Milito and Eto''o even had a chance to shoot, but the chances were very reluctant. In this case, Buffon hardly experienced a big Test.


    In the 36th minute of the first half, De Rossi shot a long shot from outside the ball and hit Lucio. Ram moved laterally to control the ball and suddenly came a shot. The ball made a beautiful arc and fell into the goal. In the upper right corner!


    That is a theoretical dead end!


    Cesar is helpless!


    The Lion King Stadium burst into cheers!


    Goal!


    Unsurprisingly, no fans worried that Millwall could not score a goal, because from the day Aldridge took charge of the team, Millwall''s offensive firepower became famous all over the world!


    Mourinho is the same as Guardiola. He also knows that the first goal is extremely crucial. When Millwall opens the goal account, the trend of this final will be one-sided against Inter Milan.


    However, he did not admit defeat and could not bow his head!


    This is the final!


    The fourth final with Aldridge in the European War!


    He can''t lose anymore!


    Even if the outside media hailed him as the top three coach of the world, it is strange that there is no Audric in the top three in the world.


    Because this young coach is no longer used by the media to make any comparisons, he is special and detached. Like Robson¡¯s incredible evaluation of Ronaldo¡¯s not belong to the earth, Aldridge has also surpassed people¡¯s understanding of football coaches. category!


    There are two types of football coaches, one is Aldridge and the other is other coaches!


    With Inter Milan needing a goal to equalize the score, their defense was loosened. Millwall won the second half and scored two goals in a row, eventually defeating Inter Milan by 3:0 and winning the first European Super League. United Championship trophy!


    The fans cheered Millwall, and the commentator praised Millwall with excitement.


    Aldridge, he was thrown into the sky by the players!


    After starting a new era in UEFA, Millwall returned to the European War and returned to the top with a thunder!


    The first UEFA Europa League, with a mad lion, made eight consecutive cuts to the eight league championships in Europe, and finally ended on the arrogant peak!


    No one can question Millwall''s championship, and no one can''t help but recognize Millwall''s football status and strength!


    The Ligue 1 champions and the Russian Premier League champions may not yet be persuasive, but as the Premier League champions, they defeated the German, Spanish, and Italian league champions in the knockout, which made Millwall deserved to become the European hegemon again!


    Looking at the sky, Aldridge listened to the cheers of the players'' ecstasy and excitement. His footsteps did not want to stop, he would create another dynasty!


    After ushering in a new era of fission in UEFA, Aldridge led the third generation of mad lions and set out to build the foundation of the fourth generation of mad lions. In 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, they won five consecutive UEFA championships, Created a mad lion flourishing dynasty!


    Reproduce the glorious glory of Real Madrid ruling Europe half a century ago!


    After five consecutive UEFA Champions League titles, Audridge, who has coached for 20 years, chose to retire...


    What is left to the world football is the legend of the young master and the epic of the crazy lion.

 Chapter 1213： Postscript: My destination

    My name is Aldrich Hall.


    At the age of 18, I started coaching the penniless Millwall in England.


    At the age of 38, I left Millwall.


    Before I came, Millwall was notoriously worthless.


    After I left, Millwall became famous all over the world. The name of the mad lion was like a totem. It was deeply imprinted on the ground of European football. The mad lion prestige enveloped the green world!


    No one knows where I came from, so no one will understand my final destination.


    After I left Millwall, my disciple Jimmy Brown succeeded me as coach and brought 11 championship trophies to the team in the 6 years of coaching. After Jimmy Brown left, Millwall¡¯s new coach, Then it became my youngest son, Earl Hall.


    There are two women in my life.


    The first is a beautiful encounter, and the second is the waiting of life.


    In the end, the woman who stayed with me walked with me to the age of 62, and will continue to walk without complaint or regret.


    I have two sons.


    The eldest son''s name is Bert Hall.


    When I left England, he was 15 years old. He was already the captain of the Millwall youth team. He was very persistent in football. He was a strong guy. From his birth until he was 39 years old, there was only one thing that angered me: He made a girl pregnant at the age of 14. I couldn''t cruelly let the girl go to an abortion. She came from a very ordinary family. So, when my son was not yet an adult, I became a grandpa.


    For many years, Burt blamed me for taking Ivan and Bonnie away from England. He thought it was the mistakes he made that led to my departure. He understood this as: his father wanted him to grow up on his own, Because he is responsible to women and to his children, he must mature quickly and become a real man!


    From time to time, the outside world will make a fuss about this matter, as if Burt has become a stain on Sir Hall''s life, but Burt has not shaken at all, he even worked harder and focused on his career, and finally, when he was 17 years old, he was able to He made his debut in the first team of Millwall. At the age of 20, he became the captain of the mad lion. At the Lion King Stadium, he was called the prince of the mad lion. At the age of 22, he became the England national team. The captain of the legion, and he has been playing until now, even if he is almost forty years old, because of his focus on his career, from the day he had his family at the age of 15, he has no alcohol and tobacco, and strictly controls his diet and body. Maintenance, no off-site gossip, no commercials, no interviews, football, family, all of his life, so he is 39 years old and can also participate in the World Cup with the national team, and this station will be his career The end.


    The youngest son who gave me the headache was Earl Hall, but he rarely matured quickly as an adult. He seemed to have a deep grudge against me because I left England and left his heart. The place.


    I thought he would become a star, or a kind-hearted rich child, who would go through this life indifferently.


    But after he was 16 years old, he took over my study. Father Arthur told me that Earl had ruined my work notes accumulated over 20 years, and finally asked someone to record the pen in the computer and browse it at any time. The greatest wealth in life.


    At the age of 18, Earl went to the Netherlands. He spent three years proving his coaching skills in Dutch football. Then, he returned to England. Jimmy Brown took the initiative to resign without everyone understanding because He did a good job, but I can understand more or less. Probably, Jimmy is paying back. He took the initiative to give the coach position to Earl.


    Lion King Stadium, not only has the mad lion prince, but also the new king of the mad lion, the fans affectionately call Earl Hall II. At least, everyone said that the handsome Earl is most like the heroic young Handsome".


    The brothers worked hard to make the money, and Burt and Earl propped up the spine of the fifth and sixth generations of the mad lion. They did not insult the reputation of the mad lion, and they always put Millwall in the position of the first giant in Europe.


    However, Earl issued a retirement declaration at the age of thirty-nine.


    People say that it may be that Burt, who is less than an hour older than him, is going to retire from the player status, and Earl, the younger brother, will leave with his brother.


    It is also said that Earl is imitating his father with countless honors, but retired before the age of 40!


    In particular, he is tying up certain records belonging to his father. He wants to completely surpass his father. No one thinks he can, but in some honors, it is still possible.


    For example, he led the England national team to the European Cup two years ago. Now, he is playing in the World Cup and has reached the semi-finals.


    I also have a daughter.


    A very, very cute, daring daughter of a dragon elf.


    But when she grew up, she was not cute at all, not at all!


    She accused me of being a prodigal, accusing me of only spending money but not knowing how to make money!


    I will also accuse her!


    Ask her why she didn''t find a good man to marry?


    Why is there a group of beautiful women who are better than others at every day?


    She will always refute me with "gay does not break the law", if I count her down again, she will threaten me by prosecuting me!


    In order to prevent me from squandering huge amounts of wealth, she took the initiative to make money, learned to excel, and went to the United States for internships. With the help of Bowen Hall, the second-generation head, Bonnie Hall turned from a talented woman into a strong woman. She controls all my wealth. If I want to spend money, I must pass her consent. So, My family life has become weird. I am not afraid of my wife, but I have to be managed by my daughter everywhere...


    The good news is that I am not bankrupt. When I left England, I had a fortune of about ¡ê7 billion. After more than two decades, my daughter would proudly tell me that our family now has more than ¡ê20 billion!


    Although I don¡¯t think it would make me laugh even if I put 20 billion pounds into real gold and silver in front of me, but every time Bonnie proudly told me these things, I saw her smug expression, and I I feel very happy.


    I?


    Many people ask me why?


    Yes, I have left England for more than 20 years, but there will still be fans writing to me and asking me in a puzzled context: Why did you go to the desert from the oasis?


    Yes, this has become a long-discussed mystery in world football.


    Standing at the pinnacle of the green world, Sir Hall, after announcing his retirement, took his family to the country where the football world is regarded as a desolate desert: China.


    Perhaps only Chinese fans deceived themselves into thinking that Sir Hall, who is particularly slippery in Chinese, has a natural affection for China.


    Born?


    Maybe it was born.


    But please?


    I don¡¯t think so, because from the perspective of football alone, I have been bruised and injured by Chinese football, no matter how long it has passed, I still remember it.


    At the age of 18, I would never have any interest in Chinese football. If I go to Chinese football to participate in football affairs, it would be better to kill me!


    At the age of 28, I was not afraid of Chinese football. I just saw it as a very difficult challenge. But it was only occasional to think about it. The courage to put it into practice. To be honest, I did not.


    At the age of 38, I didn¡¯t think about any challenges, difficulties, honors and losses, I took my luggage, and brought my wife and daughter from England to China.


    For Chinese football, they describe my arrival as "coming", but the **** between my soul and this land is actually "back".


    Therefore, no one understood, and I did not make any explanation.


    Whether it is back or coming, in short, I stood on the land of China and started to enter Chinese football.


    For more than 20 years, I have started from charity football, established countless football schools in various parts of China, and through the resources I have accumulated in European football, I have invited many professional coaching teams. These football schools are all Using charity as a carrier, for those orphans, or poor children, or children with dreams of football who can¡¯t go to professional but expensive football schools across China for training.


    Everything I do, all my input, is to use my wealth, so this is charity, so my daughter can¡¯t sit back and watch me squander all my wealth.


    Starting from grassroots, and then building a football league in the east, west, south, and north of China, the main job is to establish the junior league and youth league, and then send talented and well-developed children to Europe for professional training through my recommendation, and My professional team keeps track of the situation.


    My arrival, the charity I have made, and my contribution to the football industry have set off an unprecedented football frenzy in this football desert in China. A huge and gradually mature football industry chain was born in China and developed rapidly .


    People pay more attention to football than before, and people are more willing to let their children play football. After spending ten years in China, I built football stadiums of various sizes, mostly for free. Leagues and Youth Leagues also have sponsors and have received social attention, and this simple football has an increasing influence.


    Young geniuses began to emerge, idols were born, and a myth of fame began to take place.


    Ten years ago, I entered the Chinese Football Association, served as the head of youth football development, and became an advisor to the Chinese national team.


    Four years ago, I officially became the coach of the national team.


    In the Asian Cup, I led the national team''s second-tier echelon to win the championship thrillingly, which not only achieved the purpose of training, but also brought the championship trophy, which inspired the entire nation.


    I regret it.


    Yes, again.


    Those who said that they would retire, but came back to coach again.


    Because I found that Chinese football lacks confidence!


    Even for more than 20 years, I have cultivated many talented players, but the national team''s record has improved, but it is far from what I think it should be.


    The problem is self-confidence!


    So I came back to coach and will only work for four years. After all, I took office at 58 years old. By this year, I am already 62 years old. I hope to really retire and stop thinking about anything about football, like UEFA, AFC There are a lot of people who support me in running for the chairmanship, but I think it¡¯s really a crime. I should leave my time with my family and stay with them. Deep down, I know that I owe them too much, Too many, they are waiting for me, supporting me to do whatever I want...


    At the end of my story with football, I hope to use my own to inspire Chinese football so that they can face the world confidently!


    So, I came here...


    July 3, 2038.


    Guangzhou, Tianhe Sports Center Stadium.


    On the stadium stands a red sea, a voice resounded through the sky.


    "Chinese team! Come on! Chinese team! Come on!"


    That seems to be a cry made by a nation in unison!


    On the court, the game has reached its final moment.


    The scoreboard shows the warring parties and the score.


    England: 0


    Chinese team: 0


    Time: 85:12


    Although his hair had become gray, 62-year-old Aldridge was still energetic and looked like he was in his forties. He stood on the side of the court, just like his 18-year-old figure.


    Not far from him, a handsome and gentle man also stood.


    His son, 39-year-old Earl.


    In the VIP box of the stadium, there are many famous football players, and many members of the Hall family.


    They were watching this game together, but they didn''t care much about the outcome.


    Such as Nedved, Larson, Schneider, the three giants of Millwall management who are called by fans, the three of them and a group of old friends came here to watch the game and laughed when they interviewed: both the Chinese team and the England team Who can reach the final, Sir Hall will be happy, is it important to win or lose?


    As the game time is getting shorter, the fans in the stands are also very nervous.


    The narrator said dryly: "The World Cup is held for the first time in China. The local Chinese team is led by the world''s top coach Sir Hall to the semi-finals. Now, we are facing England. Team! The last time the England team won the World Cup was in 2002, the coach at that time was now the coach of the Chinese team, Sir Hall! And today the coach of the England team, also the son of Sir Hall, was also named two years ago. Sir Earl Hall of the Jazz! It is worth mentioning that the main goalkeeper of the England national team, David Hall, is the grandson of the Chinese team coach Sir Hall, the father of David Hall, Burt ¡¤Hall is now standing on the sidelines, it seems that he will come off the bench! There is a scene of father and son playing together in football, which does not make us strange, but the three generations playing together is still the stage of the World Cup semi-finals. This is crazy! Sir Hall is not only a coach legend, but even his descendants are all famous. The tiger father has no dogs. This is already a football family!"


    Uh, the situation on the court made most Aldridge''s former disciples smile when they saw it.


    Aldridge, Earl, Burt, David.


    Father and son, brothers, grandchildren... put together in the same game!


    This is definitely a classic scene that can no longer be classic!


    Burt was replaced on the court. At 39, he can still play in the World Cup, and is in the semi-finals. Although he debuted at the last moment, it is also awe-inspiring.


    He is like a steel warrior, carrying the most indispensable fighting spirit in the blood of the mad lion.


    However, he just came on the court, but inadvertently made a mistake in a positioning ball defense!


    "Wow, wow! The Chinese team got a penalty! Our No. 10 Chu Yi took a direct free kick. The ball was blocked by the England defender in the penalty area, but the opponent''s clearance was not clean and the response was not timely. ¡¤Hol handball foul! This ball must be penalized and must be penalized, because if Bert Hall''s hand does not block, our striker Liu Peng will have a chance to shoot! The referee is aware of this and gave us a penalty! Penalty! If this goal is scored, we are very likely to kill England, we will go to Beijing, go to the capital, go to the Bird''s Nest to play the World Cup finals!"


    The scene is completely boiling!


    As if the whole nation is cheering!


    Aldridge was relatively calm, and he deliberately pressed his hands to the players to keep them calm.


    Earl didn''t change his face on the sidelines. Bert, who gave the opponent a penalty by a handball foul on the court, was equally upset. He had seen any big waves and big waves. The game was not over. Everything was possible. How could there be time for frustration or be discouraged?


    The audience, no, the countless Chinese people in the world are watching this game in different ways, the most crucial moment!


    "Chu Yi stood in front of the penalty spot. The core of Arsenal''s midfield is the iconic Chinese football player cultivated by Sir Hall. It can be said that 80% of the Chinese national team players I have sincerely expressed on different occasions: Sir Hall is like our father. Yes, some of them are orphans, some are not, but Sir Hall has put too much effort and help in their growth path in pursuit of football dreams They grow and guide them forward. Now, lead them and reach the semi-finals of the World Cup, one step away from the finals!"


    Chu Yi''s penalty kick carries the dreams of countless Chinese.


    However, perhaps the pressure is too great, even if he is playing in the European giants, his ability to withstand pressure is definitely beyond everyone''s imagination, but at this moment, he missed!


    The penalty angle he made was there, but it was obviously weak!


    England''s goalkeeper, David Hall did not move in advance, and waited for the opponent to make a penalty before making a save. This ball, he moved steadily after a step and saved the ball, holding the ball directly in his arms!


    boom!


    As if the entire stadium was silent for a moment, everyone''s heads roared and the world was spinning.


    The Chinese team missed a good opportunity for lore!


    The game is not over yet!


    David Hall stood up and immediately launched a fast break!


    He threw the ball directly to his father, Bert Hall.


    Burt stood calmly outside the penalty area. After Chu Yi''s run, he was ready to rush into the penalty area to defend. It can be seen that the penalty kick was hugged by the goalkeeper. He immediately turned around and ran forward. It was difficult to imagine, 39 years old Man, running at this moment is as fast as a cheetah!


    The goalkeeper''s hand throws the ball in front of him, so he doesn''t need to stop and stop the ball, move forward, keep moving forward, chasing the humble but extremely important for too many people in the world football!


    The tight defense of the Chinese team exposed a huge flaw at this moment. Perhaps the mental blow was too heavy, and even the defensive movements were rigid at this time.


    After driving the ball through the half, Burt only made a two-on-one cooperation with the teammates who followed the wing. After he passed the ball, he directly indicated to the opponent to pass the ball in front of him!


    Then he went to the meeting alone!


    In the end, the ball was safely pushed into the lower left corner of the goal!


    After scoring a goal, he turned to look at the sidelines, not to see his brother, but his father!


    He has been proving himself and has been expecting his father¡¯s recognition and forgiveness, although he no longer thinks that David¡¯s birth was a mistake, but he has a guilt deep in his heart, as if he has let his father down.


    Instead of going to the stadium, Aldridge turned around, facing the stands, cheering on the fans, and began to shout a word.


    This sentence, from here, passed from his mouth, gradually, Tianhe Sports Center Stadium, constantly repeating this sentence, Guangzhou, South, China, the world, as long as there are Chinese people, Chinese people watching this game, Shouted in unison.


    "Chinese team, come on!"


    In the audience, and even as if cheering from all over the world, the Chinese team quickly picked up their spirits and immediately set up their formation. Although there were less than 2 minutes of injury time remaining in the game, they were like beasts and burst out. A more powerful fighting spirit!


    At the same time, Earl continued to make substitutions on the sidelines to strengthen the defense.


    Aldridge''s mentality was relaxed, and even a slight smile in his lips.


    The outcome is really not important.


    The important thing is the spirit of being undead!


    Never give up fighting spirit!


    Firm belief!


    In the case of England''s final defense, the Chinese team drank 0:1 and hated the semi-finals.


    At the end of the game, Chu Yi, who lost a penalty, burst into tears.


    Aldridge walked into the field for the first time and hugged him, wiped away his tears, and then raised his head!


    The fans quickly applauded the scene, no one blamed Chu Yi, no one, not even his lore in the quarter-finals, there will be no feat of the Chinese team to the semifinals.


    Seeing fans on the spot continue to encourage players and expect them to perform well in the third place, Aldridge smiled comfortably.


    He went to the England national team. Today, regardless of the players or coaches of the England team, they will still be respected when they see him.


    Aldridge didn''t say anything, walked over and hugged David Hall first, praising him for his calm performance of saving a penalty.


    Perhaps there is still a threshold in Burt''s mind, but in fact, Aldridge has a good relationship with his grandson David Hall. The reason why he was furious with Burt was because he was too hasty with Burt. It is unfair and irresponsible to let a minor girl become pregnant, which may change the fate of a girl who is not deeply understood in the world. If Burt is older, it will be a crime!


    And since the families on both sides can properly solve the problem of the two children stealing the forbidden fruit, Aldridge has no other emotions. When David is born, he is still very happy. He will spend time with his grandson every year. When he grew up, he played Millwall, and often came to China to find Aldridge during the holidays. His Chinese language was already slippery.


    After the game today, it was more like a family gathering of the Hall family. Aldridge has three grandchildren and four granddaughter. In addition to David¡¯s eldest son, Bert also has a pair of children, Earl There is a son and three daughters, the family is very lively.


    Five days later, Aldridge led the Chinese team to defeat the European Red Devils Belgium in the third-place match of the World Cup. Although it was through a penalty shootout, the winner was the win, helping the Chinese team get a good result of the third-place World Cup. It is extremely exciting and has created the best results of Asian teams in the World Cup, refreshing the record of the fourth place in the World Cup created by the South Korean team in 2002.


    In the World Cup final, Earl copied Aldridge¡¯s legendary record in the England national team. He led the team to the European Cup two years ago, and now has the World Cup. Two generations of Hall and his sons brought England two Europeans. Cup and two World Cups.


    After the World Cup ended, Earl was asked in an interview if he had reached the height of Aldridge''s coaching. He replied humorously: "Obviously I still have a coaching Asian team to get the third place in the World Cup. ."


    Despite countless Chinese fans and officials of the Football Association retaining Aldridge, Aldridge chose to retire. This time, he will not regret it!


    In order to celebrate the success of the local World Cup, and the Chinese team won the third place in the World Cup, the national leaders put down a national banquet, not only to treat the Chinese national team, but also invited members of the English national team to the banquet, Aldridge was awarded a variety of medals...


    A week later, Aldridge returned to England with his family.


    He has decided to settle in China. He came back to England to attend Burt¡¯s honour ceremony. Earl retired, but he was knighted two years ago. Now it¡¯s Burt. He is going to retire, and after retiring He will succeed Earl and become Millwall''s new coach.


    When Aldridge returned to the club, he was outside and was enthusiastically requested by many fans to sign and take a group photo. Among them, the old grey-haired fan held his hand with wet eyes and said, "Audrich, you should be early." Come back, come back and let us see you!"


    For too many, too many older fans in East London, the most unforgettable thing in this life is the memory of the mad lion''s rise step by step. That is the best memory of their time!


    And the young coach Aldridge has become eternal, frozen in his heart.


    Into the club''s honor collection room, Aldridge browsed the club''s trophy collection alone. Somehow, he always felt a little dazzled, as if he saw one illusory figure appearing on both sides.


    Southgate, Nedved, Larson, Gattuso, Pirlo, Shevchenko, Trezeguet, Schneider... Ronaldinho, Henry, De Rossi... Ronaldo, May West, Royce, Bell, Aguero...


    As he walked around and walked back to the door, a deafening sound came from his ears.


    The illusory figures shouted to him in unison: "Hey, boss!"


    Aldridge closed his eyes and smiled, bowing his head and sighing.


    "Nostalgia, really old."


    On the night of the Count Lord Bert, there were many people in the old house of the Hall family, family members and relatives and friends gathered together.


    Aldridge and Ewen sat on the sofa side by side, holding hands naturally, and Bonnie, who had a tall ponytail and ran in front of him, asked with a smile and a smile: "Dad, what do you want to hear?"


    Aldridge was a little confused, the ghost made the gods say: "Come on Chopin, I don''t understand anyway."


    The living room quickly calmed down, and everyone stared at Aldridge¡¯s pearl, the girl in the family who admired the admired Bonnie Hall, who sat elegantly in front of the piano and played with a sense of freedom. pleasant music.


    Aldridge listened, drunk...


    (End of the book)


    End of testimonials


    At the end of the previous two books, I have a lot of emotions, even a touch of sadness and disappointment, but I am happy when the last word of "Mad Lion" is written!


    Perhaps it is that I have written the story I want to write completely and without regret.


    Of course, I can¡¯t say that more than 4 million words are written very well. There must be something bad, imperfect, and the plot is not properly designed, but those are my ability problems. I can¡¯t demand more from myself. Falling into an endless cycle will not benefit the future.


    The reason why I was happy was probably before the writing, the outline of the idea, I did not have deviations in the overall plot trend, and there was no temporary change of the Buddha¡¯s feet so that the story was biased.


    It may also be that I can write more, maybe it can¡¯t be written. In terms of my personal ability, my understanding of football, my perspective, all aspects are combined, I have all invested in this book In the most incisive, no matter how many, it will only be repeated, and no new things will appear.


    From February last year to the end of March this year, for more than a year, it is really endless. It can be regarded as the continuation of the stability of the past two books. The old saying is: I can have no talent, but I can be diligent.


    Except for the New Year¡¯s month, which is really dominated by all things, the other time is to maintain three shifts every day. I can¡¯t talk about how proud and proud I am, but at least it¡¯s a performance of professionalism. The job has been done well. Presumably many bookers subscribe and reward. Give me a recommendation ticket, leave a message to encourage, and most of them are moved by me, hahaha.


    At the end of the book, I would like to thank the majority of book friends for their support and encouragement, so that my book''s achievements have improved significantly compared with the past two books. I personally have no ambition to swallow the sky, but I will be able to make progress. Some people call me a street writer, I don¡¯t care, I am happy, I am happy for my progress and for the support of more book friends, others can¡¯t control it, ha ha.


    Here I would like to thank a book friend and the administrator of the book review area: Yu Yelin.


    Thank you for managing the book review area, adding essence, scoring the book, etc. for a long time!


    Talk about the new book.


    Well, the next book is still about football, but the role is changed from coach to player. The new book should be uploaded in the middle and late April. I hope that you will get your support. Thank you!


    Well, I will meet you again soon, and we look forward to working together in the next book and new journey!


    Xie Zhujun supports every day!
